Lucky Charms? Surprisingly, not Irish.
Georgia Tech learned this truth this spring, when football operations assistant director Craig Candeto made a site visit to the hotel where the Yellow Jackets will stay prior to their season opener Saturday against Boston College in Dublin. Among Candeto's responsibilities was ensuring that the hotel could pull off the team's standard pre-game breakfast, which includes a variety of cereals, including a certain children's cereal with pink hearts, blue moons and purple horseshoes.
"They're like, Lucky Charms – what is that?" Candeto recalled last week.
Candeto was concerned he might have been committing a cultural faux pas by asking for a product with an Irish stereotype. One employee ultimately recognized the brand.
It's part of the job of operations staff like Candeto to ensure that players and coaches are able to stick to their routine, even down to cereal.
The Jackets need not fear at breakfast time. Eager to please its guests, the hotel went the extra mile and ordered a shipment of the magically delicious cereal. The challenge of helping coordinate the team's visit to Ireland has had any number of similar logistical details, including realizing that there are differences in how bacon is prepared in the U.S. and Ireland.
Apple, raspberry and strawberry jellies were on hand, but not grape jelly. Candeto initially figured the team could go without.


Flower essences are a form of botanical medicine created from the flower of the plant, and are used to uniquely address the emotional aspects of our wellbeing.
Flower Essences are liquid, energetic remedies derived from living flowers. What this means is that they move and shift your vibration.
Another way to look at this is to think about how each person has a spirit or essence. The same is true for every flower, tree or plant.
When you ingest a flower essence, you are met spirit to spirit.
The essences work to bring not only an awareness, but also to release patterns from the subconscious to the conscious mind so that healing can occur.
Most of us are looking for ways to exist and relate in the world in conscious and authentic ways.
But sometimes we find ourselves cutting off from love, saying 'yes' when our hearts are saying 'no', caretaking others at the expense of our own health, fearing judgement by others... and on and on.
Flower essences shift deep-seated beliefs and patterns that have often imprinted in childhood and are still "in charge" into adulthood. They work to bring not only an awareness but also to release patterns from the subconscious to the conscious mind so that healing can occur.
Flower essences have been used for centuries in many cultures for healing, for ceremony, for spiritual development. Most recently, a British physician, bacteriologist, and homeopath named Dr Edward Bach reintroduced them into our culture.
Flower Essences are distributed in dropper bottles and a small amount of brandy is usually added which acts as the presevative. After the bottle is shaken gently, a few drops are taken under the tongue several times during the day.
Flower essences can also be sprayed or rubbed on sensitive parts of the body such as the inside of the wrists, the soles of the feet or the back of the neck. They can also be added to bath water.
The response to taking flower essences varies person to person. Some people report immediate and profound results, and others may perceive slight shifts in well being and in mental and emotional states.

Felipe Massa: "FIA Karting is more attentive than ever, let's keep up the enthusiasm for the new season".
13/01/21 - Paddock
2020 FIA season has been far from easy with a calendar to be almost totally redesigned and the COVID-19 situation to be managed in the best possible way.
After the forfeit of Le Mans (World KZ Championship) and the World Championship in Brazil, postponing to 2021, the FIA nevertheless went ahead with its plans without a hitch.
Felipe Massa: "In the end we only lost two European Championship races, one of the four dedicated to the OK and Junior categories and the annual Superkart event at Le Mans. All the other competitions have been rescheduled on different dates and sometimes on different circuits. The CIK-FIA staff in Geneva and the promoter RGMMC have worked hard to ensure that the season is maintained, but I would also like to thank the NSAs and the organisers who have done everything possible to achieve this result".
The former F1 driver underlines how the value of international racing, despite the difficulties, has remained very high on all fronts, resulting in a competitive season. There was also a great deal of attention on the COVID protocols for the insiders, the only ones who have access to the track in addition to the drivers and teams, all under scrutiny by the PCR tests, which according to Massa himself are fundamental.
"Personally, I make sure that the CIK-FIA is more attentive than ever to the karting community - continues the President - Drivers, teams and organisers will have to face the consequences of this pandemic and we must do all we can to help them in a difficult period. We have been able to announce the 2021 sporting calendar very early to set important benchmarks for the coming season. Obviously the smooth running of the FIA OK and Junior World Karting Championship in Brazil is particularly close to my heart for several reasons. We are aware that nothing is certain at the moment: we do not yet know how humanity will be able to cope with the virus in the long term. However, rays of hope are shining in different parts of the world, let's be alert, let's be ready to face new challenges, let's keep the enthusiasm!"

(Redirected from Right)
rights (as freedom from unlawful imprisonment, torture, and execution) regarded as belonging fundamentally to all persons
Rights are variously construed as legal, social, or moral freedoms to act or refrain from acting, or entitlements to be acted upon or not acted upon. While the concept is fundamental to civilized societies, there is considerable disagreement about what is meant precisely by the term rights. It has been used by different groups and thinkers for different purposes, with different and sometimes opposing definitions, and the precise definition of the concept, beyond having something to do with normative rules of some sort or another, is controversial. Nevertheless, the concept of rights is of vital importance in such disciplines as law and ethics, especially theories of justice and deontology.
For lessons on the topic of Rights, follow this link.
One way to look at different senses of the term of rights is to examine contrasting ideas about the concept.
Natural rights are rights which are derived from Nature or God. They are universal; they don't depend on the laws of a specific society. They exist necessarily and can't be taken away. For example, it has been argued that humans have a natural right to life. They're sometimes called moral rights or inalienable rights.
Legal rights, in contrast, are based on a society's customs, laws, statutes or actions by legislatures. An example of a legal right is the right to vote of citizens. Citizenship, itself, is often considered as the basis for having legal rights, and has been defined as the "right to have rights". Legal rights are sometimes called civil rights or statutory rights and are culturally and politically relative since they depend on a specific societal context to have meaning.
Some see rights in only one sense while others accept that both senses have a measure of validity. There has been considerable philosophical debate about these senses throughout history. For example, Jeremy Bentham believed that legal rights were the essence of rights, and he denied the existence of natural rights; whereas Thomas Aquinas held that rights purported by positive law but not grounded in natural law were not properly rights at all, but only a facade or pretense of rights.[1]

Q: Form which creates a quantity of another model with form field I have two models, Hotel and Room. I want to create a form that will allow me to add a new hotel and rooms, which indicates the name of the hotel and the quantity of rooms.
I know I should use "nested form", but it is hard for me to implement it properly.
Here is my code:
HotelsController
class HotelsController < ApplicationController

  def index
    @hotels = Hotel.all
  end

  def new
    @hotel = Hotel.new
  end

  def create
    @hotel = Hotel.new(hotel_params)

    if @hotel.save
      redirect_to @hotel
    else
      render 'new'
    end
  end

  def show
    @hotel = Hotel.find(params[:id])
  end

  def destroy
    @hotel = Hotel.find(params[:id])
    @hotel.destroy
    redirect_to hotels_url, notice: 'Hotel was successfully destroyed.'
  end

  private

  def hotel_params
    params.require(:hotel).permit(:name, :rooms_count)
  end
end

Hotel model
class Hotel < ApplicationRecord
  has_many :rooms, dependent: :destroy
  accepts_nested_attributes_for :rooms
end

Room model
class Room < ApplicationRecord
    belongs_to :hotel, optional: true # avoiding rails 5.2 belongs_to error
end

form
<%= form_with scope: :hotel, url: hotels_path, local: true do |form| %>

    <%= form.label :name %>

    <%= form.text_field :name %>

    <%= form.label :rooms_count %>

    <%= form.number_field :rooms_count %>

    <% form.fields_for :rooms  do |f|%>

        **THE CODE**

    <% end %>

    <%= form.submit %>

<% end %>

A: You forgot the "ERB echo sign" (=) on the fields_for helper.
Correct form:
  <%= form.fields_for :rooms do |f|%>

A: I have found a solution to my question.
  def create
    @hotel = Hotel.new(hotel_params)
    @hotel.rooms_count.times do
      @hotel.rooms.build
    end

    if @hotel.save
      redirect_to @hotel
    else
      render 'new'
    end
  end

It implement a @hotel.rooms.build as many times as @hotel.rooms_count number entered in Rooms Count field in form.

The best books of this week
Shipwreck by Olivia Dade
Following All the Feels and Spoiler Alert, Olivia Dade once again delivers a warm and wonderful romantic comedy about two co-stars who once had an incredible one-night stand – and after years of filming on the same remote island are finally ready to give back in temptation…
Maria's one-night stand — the plump-legged, sexy Viking of a man she left without a word or note — was just reappearing. Apparently Peter is her grumpy co-star in Gods of the Gates and they will spend the next six years filming together on a deserted Irish island. She still wants him…but he doesn't want anything to do with her now.
Peter knows this role could finally transform him from an unforgettable character actor to a leading man. He also knows that a failed relationship with Maria could poison the set, and he's not about to sabotage his career for a woman who has dumped him before. Over time, they may be cooperative colleagues or friends—possibly even best friends—but not lovers again. No matter how much he longs for her.
They haven't touched each other behind the camera for years. But on their final night of filming, their mutual reticence finally collapses, and all their pent-up desire explodes into new passion. Too bad they still don't have a future together as Peter returns to Hollywood while Maria returns to her native Sweden. She thinks she needs more than he can give her, but he's determined to change her mind and he's spent the last six years waiting. Watch after. Want.
His shipwrecked Swede has no chance.
Reasons to read: First of all, this is a romance with two fat main characters! Second, their backstories and motivations are well developed, which makes their romance all the more compelling. There's spice, funny moments and this excellent summary of Olivia Dade in an infamous Reddit format: "I (25f) fucked the thick-legged Viking (36m) of my dreams and left before he woke up thinking I'd never see him again… and now we're filming together on a desolate Irishman." Island for 6 years and he's grumpy as hell. Aita?"

Q: if condition with jquery In my jQuery, am getting the student details which from the autocomplete selected item, like
var data = "

     	" +
     studentItem.Name + " ( " + studentItem.StudentId +
     " )

" + studentItem.Email +
     "	 | 	" + studentItem.Mobile + "

";

and am binding this data to a div tag like
$("#students").append(data);

The problem here is I can get the same student again and again, and I can bind the same data again and again into this div tag.
So to restrict this I tried to set the condition before the data like,
if (!$('.stuId').is(studentItem.StudentId)) {
   var data=..........
}
else{
  alert('Duplicate data');
}

but its goin into the block even if the studentId already there in the div. How can I fix this, can anyone help me here

A: Since we don't know what kind of StudentId you have, we can use filter (however, in some cases :contains might be enough):
var len = $('.stuId').filter(function() {
    return this.innerHTML == studentItem.StudentId;
}).length;

if (len == 0) {
    var data = ..........
} else {
    alert('Duplicate data');
}

It will select all .stuId elements and filter the duplicates.


Joint ventures are another way for foreign companies or individuals to expand their business operations in Japan and enter the Japanese market. Although there are four types of corporate entities available when establishing a subsidiary, Kabushiki Kaisha (KK, Joint Stock Company) and Godo Kaisha (GK, Limited Liability Company) are the most suitable ones for small and medium enterprises. The main reason is that both the KK and the GK are limited companies, so foreign investors cannot be held personally responsible for the subsidiary's debts. The other two forms of subsidiary companies are Gomei-Kaisha and Goshi-Kaisha. However, being unlimited partnerships, they are rarely chosen.
Since 2006, a series of legislative reforms in the new Company Law have made joint ventures more easily accessible to foreign investors thanks to the lowering of the minimum initial capital requirements and the introduction of one-person companies. It is now possible to set up a KK or a GK with an initial capital of 1 yen. Nevertheless, to manage and operate a business in Japan, a foreign investor will need to obtain a working visa which requires a minimum initial investment of 5 million yen. Another change under the new Company Law is that the Yugen Kaisha (YK, Limited Liability Company) has been abolished. While existing YK can remain as they are or change into KK, no new Yugen Kaisha can be established.

Top 10 Richest People in America
We live in a world where most people have a hard time paying bills on time, but not the people on the following list. These people aren't just rich, but wealthy by even the most extravagant standards of wealth. You see, despite being viewed as the richest country in the world, the United States of America has a big disparity between the rich and the poor.
While one in every six people in America (around 50 million) struggle with 'food insecurity' as the USDA calls it, the people on the following list are wealthy enough to buy a meal for every hunger-stricken person in the country and still be left with a few billion dollars to spend. Let us then take a look at the 10 richest people in America at this point in time.

Wayne Ewing
Inducted February 7, 2014
Wayne Ewing has been a fixture in the Oklahoma Soccer Association Referee Corps since 1982 when he helped establish club soccer in El Reno. Always a man of energy and drive when he involved himself in a project, creating soccer in El Reno became his passion and within years it would drive him to become a referee, an assignor, an assessor, an instructor, and then a State Referee. With his vast experience as an official in a game that he never played as a youngster growing up in Oklahoma City and El Reno, it was a testament to his passion for officiating that eventually led him to become the State Referee Administrator and the leader of the Oklahoma Referee Corps.
A graduate of El Reno Junior College, Wayne also served his country in the Medical Corps during the Vietnam era. His military background may have provided his attention to details as a referee and a business man. 47 years ago he married his wife Pat and together with the 3 children, Laura, Anthony, and Dereck they involved themselves in soccer and Wayne's job with Western Electric.
Mentoring came naturally to Wayne and he was always working with young up and coming referees from clubs all around western Oklahoma. He would gravitate to the young refs and surprise them with supportive comments and suggestions. To facilitate guiding referees, Wayne himself began the upgrade process himself and by 1986 he was a State Referee grade 6. Within three years he achieved the highest grade a referee can get in the state: Grade 5. Then it was on to becoming an Assessor, Instructor, and Assignor. All this to improve the game, not for personal gain.
His willingness to serve his fellow referees drove him to create his own sporting goods operation for soccer families. The store would provide soccer equipment to players, coaches, teams, and referees. It was not uncommon for him to discount the price to families with several players or to create team uniforms for teams and then not charge for the additional players who couldn't afford the uniform. Wayne would park his van at an event and either sell or take orders for the materials. His desire to assist those who wished to play but weren't financially able to play cut into his profit, but that wasn't what drove Wayne so it mattered little to him.
The high school, college, and adult programs in Oklahoma also benefitted from Wayne's involvement. With those organizations he officiated, assessed, and instructed while maintaining his position with El Reno Soccer Club. He was elected Vice President of the NISOA college chapter and then President. He was also a regular at indoor soccer matches and officiated many USISL games.
In 2007 Wayne was asked to serve as the State Youth Referee Administrator and he gladly accepted the position working with close friend Mike Pollock who was the SRA. In 2009 Wayne suffered a medical condition that required him to resign as SYRA and which affects him to this day, but he maintains contact with many of his friends and young referees he taught and mentored for decades. For many referees he represents what hard work and determination can accomplish not only as a referee, but as a man who has found his passion.
Wilbert Maximore
Arriving in Oklahoma in 1980 to work for Amoco as a computer programmer, Wilbert Maximore quickly found a way to continue doing what he really loved: coach soccer. From a family of 17 children, Wilbert began playing soccer at the age of 4 in Paynesville, Liberia using a soccer ball of rubber and cloth, sometimes even a grapefruit. After graduating high school from Ricks Institute in Liberia, he joined relatives in the United States and attended college at Hunter College in New York and then Black Hills State College in South Dakota where he coached a club team.
It did not take Wilbert long to find an opportunity to coach in the Tulsa area after moving to Oklahoma from Indiana. Shadow Mountain Soccer Club's Jim Hildebrandt offered an assistant coaching position with Hildebrandt's son and their U10 boys' team. That became a springboard for Wilbert to teach young players the game he loves. "The skills and development of the players are important," says Wilbert. "Each player is different and I want them to utilize their potential for their best."
Along the way Wilbert has coached boys, girls, adult men and adult women and had success at nearly every level he became involved with. He coached the Tulsa Rowdies to a Region III championship in the Over 30 women's bracket and guided his U16 boys' team, Sandien, to a defeat of Club American in the spring of 1988. Those accomplishments led to his selection as National Soccer Coaches Association of American to name him National Youth Coach of the Year in 1988 and to the US Youth National Coach of the Year in 1988.
His skills at player development have been recognized by US Youth when they requested his input in the development of a curriculum for the U7 through U10 player.
As the Tulsa soccer scene changed, Wilbert created the Blitz United Soccer Club in 1993, a competitive club within Tulsa United Soccer Club to match his philosophy of teaching players soccer skills, a love of the game, and to believe in themselves. His leadership as coach, club head coach, and Director of Coaching for his club has led the club to years of accomplishments in both league play and state tournaments. Blitz United has won championships at OSA's State Cup for 6 consecutive years, President's Cup championships for 7 consecutive years, and had finalists in the state cup for 12 years.
A tireless worker for the development of soccer in Oklahoma, Wilbert is a constant fixture at nearly every soccer event in the state where his club's teams are playing. He enjoys discussing the game with nearly anyone who wishes to talk to him. All of this is Wilbert's way of making the game of soccer something that players will love and will share with the generations of soccer players to come.
Ed Michaud
In 1974, Ed, Brenda, and children Mark, Dean, and Sharla, moved from Dallas to Tulsa, Oklahoma, as Ed was promoted to Oklahoma Sales Manager with Sentry Insurance. Ed enrolled his oldest son Mark into the local, south Tulsa, soccer program and became a "soccer dad." He never thought this would be the start of a second career, in the world of soccer. Ed had previously completed a six-year USAF commitment as a C-130 navigator flying missions worldwide, including a tour of duty in Vietnam, for which he was awarded the Air Medal.
In July of 1975 Ed was transferred to Midwest City, Oklahoma. Soccer was really growing and with two sons, Mark and Dean, wanting to play, Ed enrolled them with the Midwest City Club. During that era it was common for youth teams to have one of the fathers as a coach, so in 1977 when the regular coach failed to show up for a practice, Ed stepped in and as he says, "the rest is history." He attendedOklahoma Soccer Association coaching clinics achieving a USSF D license.
In the late 1970's, Midwest City had few fields to use for soccer practice much less put in goal posts for league matches. Ed had a vision to have all games played at one site and began a campaign to develop some open land behind Steed School, with help of local soccer families on the project. That site is now the 30 acre, 13 field, Midwest City Soccer Complex.
In 1980, Ed became a USSF 08 level referee, progressing up to State Level 05. During this period he participated in several youth regional competitions, plus two adult regional competitions. The top level competition he was assigned to involved the professional Oklahoma City team, both outdoor and indoor leagues. Not limiting his time to refereeing, he also became an assignor, instructor, and assessor and currently serves as ASDA-West.
As an administrator, Ed held several offices, including service as President of OK Country Soccer Club, Frontier Country, plus the Oklahoma Soccer Association. During his time at the helm of OSA, he visited many areas to assist new clubs with coaching and referee clinics.
In 1984, high school soccer hit the scene. Ed was asked to coach the Midwest City HS team.
He also went before the Mid-Del School Board urging approval of soccer with other sports. The following year, 1985, OSSAA sanctioned the sport. In 1987, Ed was approached by OSSAA to serve as the Soccer Rules Interpreter for Oklahoma, a position he held for 10 years.
At the college level, beginning in 1986, he was also instrumental in forming the Oklahoma City chapter of the National Intercollegiate Soccer Officials Association which serves college soccer in the state. Ed performed as an active official for 20 years and continues his Assessor duties. In 2011 he received the Robert Sumpter Excellence in Teaching Award for his work with college level referees and in 2012 was awarded an Outstanding Service Award, by NISOA.
"Starting as a soccer dad, with a sport I was not familiar with, I didn't know what to expect. But it's been a wonderful ride full of great memories," says Ed. He looks forward to retirement from soccer so he and Brenda, whom he met in college while attending Louisiana Tech, can enjoy their seven grandchildren: Taylor, Jenae, Melanie, Brandon, Ryan, Andrew, and Holly.
John Timmons
In 1981 John Timmons arrived in Oklahoma from his home state of Texas to continue coaching the two sports he loves: American football and World football (known as soccer to most Oklahomans). From 1981-1995 he was a member of OSA's state coaching staff and worked with Hall of Fame coaches Tom Iadevaia and Ernie Brown. He spent many of those early years traveling across the state as an ODP coach and building the game of soccer by coaching players, parents, and new coaches.
John and his wife, Jana, along with son Colin and daughter Erin moved to several locations in Oklahoma before settling in Bartlesville. Both children played soccer and now his granddaughter Kinlee is playing as well. Being a native of Denton, John's first connection to soccer came from playing futbolito with foreign college students. He played while he attended the University of North Texas in Denton. Upon graduation from the university, John took up the career that he has held since – teacher. A science teacher and coach, John has taught and coached both football and soccer at Tahlequah, Pryor, Catoosa, Bartlesville, and Jenks. He also coached club soccer at many of those venues. In 1983 he volunteered to do pre-season training for the Tahlequah High School and assist in starting that club program.
Not only has John coached at many locations, he has also coached club teams at Central Tulsa, Tulsa United, Tulsa Thunder, and Washington County (Bartlesville). His first club team in Oklahoma was co-coaching with Gene Jackson in Central Tulsa. John held the USSF National B Coaching license and has influenced numerous coaches and players throughout his career in Oklahoma, including Hall of Fame coach, Brian Elliott.
John is recognized as a leader in the creation of varsity soccer in Oklahoma in 1985 and was one of the founders of the Oklahoma Soccer Coaches Association. John has been associated with Oklahoma Secondary Schools Athletic Association as a soccer advisory member since 1993 and was made a lifetime member of that board in 2010.
"Soccer development in Oklahoma has improved a great deal," says John. "Players, coaches, and officials have continued to evolve and the future is very bright." His positive outlook on coaching, teaching, and players is infectious. His philosophy reflects that in his statement on teams: "Winning championships is great, and teams that overachieve are special. Observing socio-economic boundaries evaporate in a team sport is a life-changing experience."John Timmons

How did Osama die?
By Nagesh Narayana @naagesh10
The operation that led to the killing of the world's most-wanted terrorist Osama Bin-Laden was almost nine-month old but surprised the world over its ease and success, due to the crucial role played by the intelligence agencies.
Pakistan maintained that Osama bin-Laden was not in the country, despite reports to contrary since 2001.
Here is how the operation was planned:
Aug. 2010: The U.S. administration gets an intelligence lead that Laden was in Pakistan and the venue was not confirmed. President Obama gives a go-ahead in pursuit of the lead to reach Osama bin-Lade.
April last week: Obama authorizes mission to storm a house in Abbottabad military cantonment area which was believed to be holding a top terrorist. US intelligence officials zero-in on Laden as the person living in the building and go ahead.
VENUE: A large, 10-year-old, three-storey mansion was built by a Pashtun man in the compound of Abbottabad's military cantonment, in an area measuring about 3,000 sq yards that suited a perfect refuge to a man like bin Laden.
It had 14 feet high concrete walls around the compound and not many people in the neighborhood were unaware as to who stayed there. It had no telephone or Internet lines going into the compound and the area known as Tanda Choha, 80 miles off Islamabad, had housed high-ranking military officers with frequent checkpoints.
It is 800 yards from the Pakistan Military Academy where the elite military cadets are trained the way Britain's Sandhurst military training academy, a colonial legacy that continued after Pakistan's independence in 1947.
US troops, operating out of a base in Tarbela Ghazi, an area close to Abbottabad, took off in three helicopters and landed outside the compound at about 2230 local time (1730GMT) and the operation lasted for about 45 minutes.
OPERATION: The day began with house-to-house search in the area. Soon after landing in front of the compound, US troops began to spread out immediately, telling local residents in Pashtu language to switch off their lights and remain inside until further orders. Others enter the compound and next 45 minutes saw exchange of firing inside the building.
One of the helicopters hovering over the building was shot down by firing from inside the compound and a family member was killed in the incident though the pilot escaped. One report says he was killed in head and one of his sons was also killed in the incident.
OUTCOME: US troops finally kill Osama bin-Laden and capture his wife and emerge out of the compound.
ON TWITTER: Akhtar, who runs a coffee shop in Abbottabad, was among the first to tweet about the incident to the world almost eight hours before President Obama did. Helicopter hovering above Abbottabad at 1AM, said his first tweet, followed by other tweets on fire and blockades in the area.

Facing climate change together: UAE Minister of Food and Water Security meets Agtech and FoodTech experts at Hebrew University's School of Agriculture
United Arab Emirates (UAE) Minister for Food and Water Security Mariam Al-Muhairi met today with representatives of Hebrew University of Jerusalem (HU) to promote a research and innovation partnership based on FoodTech and Agtech. As part of her visit, Al-Muhairi met with HU's Professor Mona Khoury-Kassabri, VP of Strategy and Diversity, Professor Benny Chefetz, Dean of The Robert H. Smith Faculty of Agriculture, Food and Environment, faculty researchers, and Moshe Nadler, CEO of Agricora.
This meeting marks the first official visit of a senior UAE government official to an Israeli academic institution since Israel and the UAE announced they would normalize ties as part of the US-brokered Abraham Accords.
Among the topics discussed were plant adaptation to heat and desert-like conditions, intelligent uses of water, and the latest innovations in agriculture. Both Israel and the UAE are keenly interested in finding the most efficient use of their resources and in securing high-quality seed- and food production in this age of climate change and global warming.
As Dean Chefetz shared, "The UAE Minister's visit to Hebrew University is both prescient and historic. Hebrew U. is known as a world leader in foodtech and agtech. We look forward to sharing our know-how with our neighbors in the Middle East so that we may meet the challenges of climate change together and better prepared."

Press Release: Police Week, Recognizing the Brave Men and Women in Blue
This National Police Week, we honor the men and women who choose to dedicate their lives to the protection of our communities. It takes true selflessness and generosity of character to serve in law enforcement, where officers risk their lives every day. It is with sincere gratitude that we thank you for your dedication to preserving the safety that so many Americans take for granted.
I would like to specifically thank my brother-in-law Scott, who is a dedicated uniformed officer in Texas, and my sister Sarah, who supports the police there in social aid. Thank you for being a role model of selflessness and bravery for my children. Both of your safety is vital to our family and also for the community you serve.
Additionally, we must take the opportunity this week to bestow special honor and gratitude to the officers who have given the ultimate sacrifice and lost their lives. To the families they leave behind, I pray that God gives you peace to continue through tragedy.
As Americans, we must support and defend our law enforcement officers and their families. We must ensure proper staffing levels, competitive pay, and robust training and development opportunities are available to our police forces. We must stop disparaging the police, which creates an environment of enhanced danger for them and disrespects the sacrifices they make every day to protect us.
Please consider taking time during Police Week to participate in one of the events being held in Washington. The 34thAnnual Candlelight Vigil is Friday on the National Mall and is an opportunity to come together to remember the men and women of law enforcement whose lives were taken last year. If you are unable to attend, please consider thanking the next officer you meet for serving our community with dedication and courage.

The working principle of infrared touch screen
First, the infrared touch screen work before the device ready. Infrared touch screen is placed in front of the screen in front of the screen X, Y two directions of the infrared matrix, which scans through time, whether there is infrared, blocked by objects to detect and locate the user's touch. Specific to the installation of the equipment, the touch screen is a display device in front of the frame, frame in the design of circuit board, resulting in each side of the screen. The infrared transmitting tube and infrared receiving tube, through the infrared matrix corresponding to the formation of crisscross. After each scan, if all the infrared tubes are accessible and the green light is on, it is normal.
Second, working response in touch state. When a touch, fingers or other objects will be blocked after the two position anyway infrared. When the touch screen scans and finds an infrared block, the light on the X axis indicates that the infrared sensor is blocked and that there may be a touch. In the meantime, switch to another coordinate Y and then scan. If you find the Y axis is blocked by infrared rays, the light on the Y axis indicates that there is a touch. In other words, X, Y, two axis lights at the same time, on behalf of the discovery and determination of touch. The touch screen reports the two detected infrared tube positions to the host, and the host calculates the position of the touch point at the screen.
In general, the infrared touch screen is through the device in the X matrix, two level y to capture and identify human fingers or foreign objects, and through the precise calculation of the touch location.X, y double level two to determine the very high accuracy of infrared touch judge, up to almost zero error is due to state. This is a significant advantage, and other aspects of the application of infrared touch screen development progress, it is gradually warlords, occupy the touch screen market.

Sentenced for sexual misconduct
At a sentencing hearing over Zoom from Oakland County Circuit Court on Dec. 20, Noah Koop, a 20-year-old man from Clarkston, told Judge Daniel O'Brien that he "wasn't being sneaky and didn't force the situation" on two girls, which led to criminal sexual conduct charges against him.
He claimed he didn't know the victims were 13 and 15 years old at the time he had sex with them.
"I don't want people to think I'm this predator looking for little girls; that's not the case," Koop said.
O'Brien ordered Koop to spend 74 months to 15 years in prison for the two third-degree criminal sexual conduct charges he pleaded guilty to in November, with nearly nine months of jail credit for time spent since his arrest last spring in Farmington Hills.
He also was sentenced to 2-4 years for one count of child enticement for improper purposes.
The judge also denied a request for Holmes Youthful Training Act status, which would have kept the conviction off Koop's permanent criminal record.

Home/Drone/Defibrillator drone helps save Swedish heart attack patient
Defibrillator drone helps save Swedish heart attack patient
An autonomous drone carrying a defibrillator helped save the life of a 71-year-old man who suffered a cardiac arrest in Sweden, the man and the drone operator said Friday.
Emergency services dispatched the drone followed by an ambulance when Sven, a retiree who asked for his last name to be withheld, collapsed in early December while shovelling snow outside his home in the western town of Trollhattan.
"Everything from the first 112 call to the drone getting the signal to start and go took about 15-30 seconds and then the whole process took about three and a half minutes," Sven told AFP.
By lucky coincidence a doctor, Mustafa Ali, was driving past. He stopped and began performing CPR as Sven's wife called emergency services, and was there on the spot when the drone arrived with the defibrillator to help restart Sven's heart.
Ali said the drone "really helped" in saving the man's life, as it was used in combination with quick CPR and medicines administered in the ambulance, which arrived minutes later.
"I think it's a really good tool. Especially when it comes to patients that are far away from the nearest hospital," Ali told AFP.
The defibrillator, which gives electric shocks to the heart of a patient in cardiac arrest, was lowered to the ground via a winch, meaning the drone didn't need to land to deliver the device.
The use of medical drones is part of trial run by Everdrone in the area around Gothenburg, and is being developed in collaboration with the Center for Resuscitation Science at medical university Karolinska Institutet, emergency service operation SOS Alarm and regional health authority Region Vastra Gotaland.
Everdrone stated its network can currently reach 200,000 residents in Sweden and "is expected to expand to more locations in Europe during 2022."
In future the unmanned aircraft could be fitted with other medical equipment.
"You could imagine these drones delivering trauma kits in various situations… going to hard to reach islands or other places where it's hard to go at all," Mats Sallstrom, CEO of Everdrone told AFP.
"We started with the defibrillator because it's such a time-critical event" where a drone can really make a difference, he added.

Authentic ATI ProCharger Pulley's in all available sizes! Includes retaining bolt, washer and key.
Note: Put in the notes section which vehicle make and model you have.
Let's take a six rib pulley for an example.
DP400I-06D - This pulley is a 4.00 diameter size. The 06D means it is a six rib.
Maximum impeller speed = crankshaft pulley diameter (N1) divided by supercharger pulley diameter (N2),multiplied by the step-up ratio (4.10 for the P-series/D series - 5.40 for the F series), multiplied by engine rpm at redline.
How much boost the blower can produce depends on many variables.
* Cubic inch. The larger the engine the less boost it will make with a supercharger.
* Headers and exhaust. A better flowing system will produce less boost, requires a smaller pulley to regain the loss in boost. Ultimately though, more power will be gained.
* Camshaft and heads. A camshaft with some overlap will leak out some boost through the valves. Better flowing heads react a lot like a better flowing exhaust system.
* Altitude. Elevation plays a big part in how much boost is produced. Those people living in the higher elevations have to spin the blower harder to see boost.
* Condition of engine. An engine with real good sealing rings will ultimately produce more boost than one with worn rings.
* Rpm. An engine that is spun up higher in the rpm range will normally produce more boost.

Julien's Dad On 'Gossip Girl' Really Loves A Hat, Doesn't He?
ByKaitlin Reilly July 22, 2021
If there's one thing that sends millennial Gossip Girl fans into a tailspin, it's knowing that the parents on HBO Max's revival are likely closer to their age than the teens wreaking social havoc. As one such fan, I've spent a considerable amount of my Gossip Girl 2.0. watch reviewing the parental figures and trying to see if I relate more to them than I do Audrey, Julien, and the rest of the scandal makers. Except, I found it a little hard to pay attention to all the parent drama, thanks solely to a fashion choice routinely made by Julien's dad Davis.
I noticed it in the pilot episode. Davis, an uber successful music producer, comes into Julien's glam room (because of course this influencer has a glam room) and tells her he's jetting off to Los Angeles for a meeting with Billie Eilish — an artist who I, personally, could have babysat for when she was a toddler. In the scene, Davis is wearing what I can only describe as the hat version of the "How do you do, fellow kids?" meme — a grey beanie that is... saying a lot.
Now, Davis does not look bad in the beanie, by any means. It's just, well — do parents wear beanies now? Is he wearing it so he has something to chat about with Finneas? Apparently not, because Davis, as it turns out, just loves a hat.
Later on in the series, Davis dons several hats. In the third episode, Davis is spotted by his daughter out at a club, where he is wearing a black beanie. Wearing a beanie to a club seems wildly ill advised, given that I've never attended a particularly well air-conditioned one, but a sweaty scalp is just a small price to pay for the hat enthusiast.
Later, while attending a play, he sports this black fedora. Typically, I would be very upset if I were sitting behind someone who refused to take off his hat during a performance, but this guy feels important enough not to bother, I guess.
Perhaps my favorite thing about this hat, however, is that upon arriving home, alone... Davis keeps the hat on. Note how he took off his jacket and presumably shoes, but that the hat is still squarely on his head.
Now the real question: What is the hat trying to tell us? Weirdly, it has nothing to do with Davis being insecure about balding. He isn't balding — smartly, he decides to forego a hat to a fancy event, and it's revealed that his hair is all there.
Maybe Davis' hats are a "thing" — a trademark of his style, like Ariana Grande's oversized hoodies. However, for a show as notorious for snarking on one's style as Gossip Girl is, you'd think the hat obsession would at least be noted. After all, Zoya got called out for her headband day one — someone say something about Davis' choice of accessory, too!

UK Grocers show why distinctiveness is just as important as emotion
With a Christmas that's certainly felt a long time coming, Brits are ramping things up in anticipation of a big festive season. With this in mind, each major grocer aimed to capitalize on the mood of the nation, either by highlighting their role in the build-up to the big day, or celebrating the payoff of friends and family coming together again.
However, the way each execution was brought to life was vastly different, with contrasting narratives and emotional priorities. We were keen to see which approach was most effective and ultimately if any was able to reach the heights of Kevin at ALDI.
To find out which grocer delivered most effectively, we applied our three C's framework:
Captivate: Does it stand out and grab attention?
Connect: Does it instantly recall the brand?
Compel: Does it motivate behavioral change?
Despite their contrasting styles, the festive theme of all four ads consistently struck a more passive 'pleasant' tone — but, as we often say, passive certainly doesn't have to mean ineffective. However, it does require something a little extra to ensure engagement is maintained, which Tesco and Morrisons did successfully.
Tesco poked fun at post-lockdown realities with the help of an iconic Queen soundtrack; a combination which excited and amused viewers, and caused relatively little negativity despite the potentially risky territory of COVID references. Meanwhile, Morrisons' focus on the "real people" behind the scenes who are responsible for getting food on the table at Christmas was extremely well liked, bringing the story of "Farmer Christmas" to life in a clever and magical way.
Asda and Sainsbury's struggled to engage viewers as strongly, with their softer tone straying into a boring and dull territory — lacking a captivating story or character focus to keep people hooked. Sainsbury's classic "big family Christmas" trope was the worst offender, with the novel camera work unable to compensate for a story which underwhelmed.
Another strength of Morrisons and Tesco was how well each brand was integrated into the story, with both featuring their staff, products, and branding staples in a memorable way throughout. While Morrisons' green and freshly baked in-store setting ensured a strong fit with the brand, Tesco's deliberately edgy and British tone of voice more effectively recalled the brand's typical style of communication (including last year's 'No Naughty List', which featured another iconic soundtrack – this time from Britney Spears).
While Sainsbury's successfully leveraged their well-established orange color, this was where things ended. Christmas dinner ultimately isn't an occasion a single brand can own, which meant the ad ended up doing more for the wider grocery category (and holiday season in general).
Morrisons brought a human touch, highlighting the freshness of its products, along with the people who caringly produce the food which arrives on grocery shelves and eventually the Christmas table. Tesco also intrinsically linked to the functional benefits of the grocer by cleverly integrating their reliability, desirability, and delivery service into the short stories being told.
Tesco's determination to do everything to make Christmas happen, and Morrisons' celebration of people like "Farmer Christmas" who work tirelessly behind the scenes, were effective because they cued a strong emotional response — but, importantly, did this within a construct that was unique and ownable for the brand.
Simply presenting the brand within a holiday narrative isn't enough; there's no shortage of advertisers aiming to capitalize on festive warmth at this time of year. This means it's even more imperative at Christmas to do something unique to cut through the clutter.
A captivating, character-led story, humor, catchy soundtrack, human truth, etc., are all ingredients which we know drive effectiveness — however, they take on added importance at Christmas. This year's top performers are a testament to this.
This isn't to deter brands from finding ways to intertwine festive themes into their Christmas communications; rather, doing it in a distinct and ownable way. ALDI proved this by taking on a classic Charles Dickens-inspired Christmas tale, but leveraging a theme and cast of characters that could only be for one brand.
A Christmas ad which prioritizes the brand as much as the season will ensure that not only are the hearts of consumers warmed, but also the wallets of shareholders.

Liverpool lineup vs Bournemouth: £56m duo axed? 4 surprise starters? Replace Can with Chirivella? (PREDICTION LEAGUE)
Liverpool face Bournemouth in the League Cup this week, and after three draws in his first three games, new Reds boss Jurgen Klopp will be hoping it's fourth time lucky at Anfield on Wednesday. With ten goals conceded in two games, and only one league win since August, Bournemouth are in freefall at the moment, so now is clearly a good time play the South Coast club. Nothing is ever that simple for Liverpool, though, and given current form, it'll come as no surprise if the Reds fail to win yet another game.
* Sturridge didn't even make the matchday squad for Sunday's home draw with Southampton, so it's doubtful that he'll be fit enough for the Bournemouth game.
* Benteke and Firmino both featured against the Saints, so they're clearly fit and ready for the game.
* Henderson, Flanagan, Ings, and Gomez remain injured. Lovren returned to training last week, and a League Cup game could be the ideal time to bring him back into the fold. Not that he's needed; Toure is available to deputise for either Skrtel or Sakho.
Creative paucity continues to be a major issue for the club, and whilst Brendan Rodgers needs to shoulder some of the blame for that, Klopp is also (arguably) contributing to the problem by playing THREE central midfielders in every game.
* Why is this necessary, especially at home? Playing three central midfielders in 4321 is a negative tactic, and is stifling the balance and creative flow of the team.
* This approach also means that creatively limited players are being prioritised over dedicated attacking midfielders. And make no mistake, Can, and Milner are creatively limited.
* At Dortmund, Klopp predominantly employed a 4231 formation, and in a sense, he's betraying his own philosophy by using a 4321. Yes, it may promote defensive stability, but what's the point if the team can't score goals consistently?
With a vital game against Chelsea on Saturday, Klopp will probably rest some players, and with that in mind, I'd like to see the following line-up:
--------------- Bogdan
Randall --- Toure - Sakho --- Moreno
------- Chrivella - Lucas
Brannagan --- Teixeira -- Firmino
-------------- Benteke
* Randall has made the bench for every game under Klopp, so why not just start him and rest Clyne, who's looked a little ragged in recent weeks.
* Milner is suspended, and Can continues to be ineffective, so play Chrivella, who's already had first-team action this season.
* Coutinho and Lallana [combined cost/value: £56m] should be dropped/rested; both are struggling to influence games, and after ineffective performances against Southampton, neither deserves to start this game. Brannagan can play on either wing, so he's a different creative option to consider.
* There's absolutely no excuse to leave Teixeira out of the game. If he doesn't play, then Klopp has to explain why. If there's a problem with the Portuguese youngster, then fair enough, but with Liverpool devoid of creativity, something needs to change, and Teixeira is an obvious option.
* Firmino and Benteke need match fitness, so it makes no sense to rest them for the Chelsea game. They can start the game, and then come off in the second half if necessary. With any luck, Firmino will have a good game, which will give him much needed confidence for Chelsea.
My prediction: 2-1 LFC (Updated: 19:08pm). You have until Wednesday @ 7:45pm (GMT) to get your predictions in. Good luck!

Q: Dynamic SASS generation I am working on a multi tenant app where I'd like each Tenant to control the colors of specific elements.  For example, I'd imaging have a form w/ color pickers where users could control items such as site background color, navbar colors, etc.
I have a baseline SASS(.scss) file which sets the default color scheme.  My questions are:

*

*How would I then load the "dynamic" theme .scss file?

*If I had model fields like Tenant.nav_bar_link_color, how would I load those values into the SASS theme file?

*Would I be able to/should I somehow precompile the Tenant specific themes into the asset pipeline?

A: You could add a class to the body element of the main application.  This could be like
<body class="">

Then programmatically add a class such as "scheme-red" or "scheme-blue" to this body element based on their selection of a theme.
In your SASS you would then have different color schemes that override the defaults.

A: After some research, I think the method outline here makes most sense:
User generated custom css
Basically i'll store the Tenant controlled CSS values in the DB, and then render them out in the head as overrides against my default SASS file....

Delhi Community Health Centre stepping up
Feb 24, 2020 • 1 year ago • 2 minute read • Join the conversation
The Delhi Community Health Centre is offering new programs, including some that had recently been cut from the Haldimand Norfolk Health Unit. Members of the Delhi family health team include Julie Martin-Jacob, Roxanne Pierssens-Silva, Amanda Kocheff, Robin Mackie, and Valerie Van Hooren. Ashley Taylor/Delhi News Record
New programs are being offered at the Delhi Community Health Centre, including a smoking cessation program.
The STOP Program, which has been running since October, gained new importance after the Haldimand Norfolk Health Unit in Simcoe lost its funding for a similar class.
Delhi Community Health Centre stepping up Back to video
Delhi's program has been able to accept 40 people from Simcoe.
Staff from the HNHU reached out to the DCHC asking if they would be able to accept their clients so they weren't left without programming. The two units will be working together to transfer clients and promotional materials to Delhi.
Other programs offered by the Delhi Family Health Team include chronic pain management, dietician services, social work, foot care, spirometry, and prenatal and newborn classes.
A new seven-week postpartum depression support group is running for the first time beginning on March 5. This group is available by registration calling 519-582-2323 ext. 282.
"If you have a need and you live in our community you should be able to just walk in and say 'I need some help,'" said Delhi Family Health Team executive director Robin Mackie.
Mackie recalled a woman stopping by the centre feeling sad after giving birth, and without an appointment she was able to walk her down to Amanda Kocheff, a registered midwife, and begin getting her the help she needed.
"Anyone in our centre, because of our community drive, is going to just pick (you) up and say 'what are you here for?'" said Mackie.
In the future, there are plans of having a walk-in, or talk-in, social work clinic.
Currently, the social work program is only available to patients of the Delhi Family Health Team.
"We are looking to the future to broaden those services to the community," said Mackie. "Our social workers are in training right now on how to provide almost a clinic approach to one-off walk-ins."
"We're looking at hitting the surface where people are just starting to have issues with their mental health," said Mackie. "It's much needed, and a lot of mental health conditions, if we catch them early enough, don't get to a point where you need nine, 10 sessions to help you."
Some of the programs are available to everyone in the Delhi and surrounding area and others are only open to patients of the Delhi Family Health Team.
The team encourages anyone that feels they may benefit from a program to call or stop by and ask about the specific programming.

Batman movie survivors describe how killing spree unfolded
Updated: 2:42 PM PDT Jul 20, 2012
A sold-out midnight showing of "The Dark Knight Rises" Friday turned into a bloody mass shooting at a suburban Denver movie theater. Police said a man clad in all black SWAT ballistic clothing threw a canister that spewed smoke before he opened fire. The gunman shot steadily at the audience, not speaking. Here are accounts from survivors who escaped:___Sylvana Guillen, 20, said when a man appeared at the front of the theater clad in dark clothing looking like a SWAT team member as Catwoman made an appearance in the movie, the audience "thought it was a joke, a hoax."PHOTOS: Batman movie killing spreeThen they heard gunshots and smelled smoke from a canister he was carrying, and Guillen knew it was real.The gunman began walking toward the seats and firing. Guillen said she told her friend, Misha Mostashiry, "You better get ready to be shot."Mostashiry, also 20, said they couldn't tell where the gunman was."All you could do is hope he didn't come for you," she said."We ran to the emergency exit and nothing happened. Nothing happened to us," Mostashiry said, with surprise and relief in her voice.On their dash to the exit, they saw a man slip in the blood of a wounded woman he was trying to help.___Jennifer Seeger, 25, from Aurora said she was in the second row, about four feet from the gunman, when he pointed a gun at her face.At first, "I was just a deer in headlights. I didn't know what to do," she said. Then she ducked to the ground.The gunman shot people seated behind her."There were bullet (casings) just falling on my head. They were burning my forehead," Seeger said.The gunman fired steadily except when he stopped to reload."Every few seconds it was just 'Boom, boom, boom,'" she said."He would reload and shoot and anyone who would try to leave would just get killed," she said.Seeger said she began crawling toward an exit when she saw a girl about 14 years old, "lying lifeless on the stairs."She saw a man with a bullet wound in his back and tried to check his pulse, but "I had to go. I was going to get shot. I didn't think it was real," she said.___Tanner Coon told the NBC "Today" show he was at the movie with a friend and his friend's 12-year-old brother when about 20 minutes into the movie the gunman appeared. Coon said that when they realized they were being shot at, they got on the floor in front of their seats.After "a period of quiet" everyone started to run out.He said he went to a row behind him and "slipped on some blood and landed" on a woman. He said he shook her, telling her they needed to get out, but she was unresponsive and he "presumed she was dead." He said the 12-year-old was "freaking out" and "really upset" after they escaped the theater.___Jaime Marshall, 23, said she had tickets to theater 9, where the gunman opened fire, but had decided before the movie to watch next door in theater 8 with friends.She said that about 20 minutes in, as a shooting scene played out on the screen, she heard "fire cracker" sounds, and thought someone might be playing a joke. Marshall said people started leaving en masse and the alarm system started blaring. Marshall said she and her friends just sat there confused until someone ran in and told people not to go into the lobby because "someone's shooting people out there."She said she wasn't sure if it was a prank, but the group decided to leave. Marshall said that as she made her way out of the theater, she saw a girl with a gunshot wound to her leg.___Jordan Crofter, 19, of Aurora, said the suspected gunman "looked like an assassin ready to go war."Crofter was sitting on the left side of the theater and toward the front when the door swung open and a silhouette appeared in front of the street lights.He said the shooter was calm and almost strutted in, then pulled up his rifle and started shooting, stopping only to reload - like "shooting fish in a barrel."When he saw two gas canisters hit the ground, Crofter immediately ran out of the theater.Crofter said he was the first one in the lobby and when the manager asked what was going on, he yelled, "Bomb."___Julia Nguyen, 17, said she saw something fly across the theater, which she thought, at first, was a stink bomb, and then saw a flash. Then she saw the gunman."He was absolutely quiet. He didn't say a word. He just started firing rounds," said Nguyen, who ran out of theater as fast as she could with her friend, Erin Post, 15.Post said the gunman fired round after round."It just kept going and going and going. Like bam after bam after bam," she said. "Between every flash you could kind of see a gas mask."Outside the theater, they found a 16-year-old bloody and limping boy, suffering from wounds to his thigh and lower calf.They said they got the teen into the backseat of their car and used belts to put a makeshift tourniquet to stop the bleeding from his leg. They said he kept saying he wanted to find his little sister and that he wanted to pray with them.They prayed in the car until an ambulance could take him to the hospital.___Joel Wheelersburg, 27, said he went to the movie with a church group that included his brother and sister-in-law."The first gun scene (in the movie) is where we heard real bullet shots, real gunshots, from our right," he said."It sounded like special effects, and from there we saw what seemed like ash or dust from the walls. We saw the smoke coming over, and that's kind of when we knew something wasn't right."Wheelersburg said people started scrambling to get out through exits at the front and rear of the theater. He heard someone say there was somebody with a gun.Wheelersburg and his group got out through the lobby and then went outside."It was there in the parking lot that reality sunk in. There were so many lights, there was helicopters, police officers, people are literally being carried by other normal people like us," he said.Later, the group kneeled and prayed.___Eric Hunter, 23, said it all started with smoke."There was smoke that came in. It had to be a smoke bomb because there was a significant amount of smoke that came in to the theater. Then the gunshots happened," he said.He and his friends thought what they were hearing firecrackers that were part of the movie. So, they settled back to continue watching the movie for another 10 to 20 seconds before they heard several more shots."We knew something was wrong because people started getting up, moving out."Hunter said he and his friends made their way to an exit. When Hunter opened the door, he saw two teenage girls - one shot in the mouth and the other one crying.Hunter said he was about to close the door when he saw the gunman, dressed in black, wearing what appeared to be a bullet proof vest, and a gas mask."He's coming my way so I shut the door. So I hold the door for a little bit. He's banging on the door for about 10 seconds."Hunter said he was afraid gunman would shoot through door, so he let it go and managed to get out of the theater.He said he and other people went back to the theater to help people evacuate but officials were urging people to leave.Later, Hunter said police began entering the theater, asking people to hold their hands up as they evacuated the building.

Batman brings heroic message to kids in flood recovery areas
LEXINGTON, Ky. (LEX18) — When homes need rebuilding and hope needs to be restored, who better to call than a superhero?
John Buckland is known as the West Virginia Batman.
He recently spent two days in flood-stricken Kentucky. He visited with families, delivered toys and met some of the community's heroes.
He knows a hero when he sees one, but when you pull back the Batman mask, John Buckland hasn't always felt worthy of the title.
"I went through really bad child abuse, of all kinds," he said. "That spiraled me out of control because no one really got me any help. That hurled me into drug addiction, depression, and suicide. One day I woke up and said it's time to do something with this."
For the last decade, he's donned the cape and traveled to natural disaster sites, providing hope for kids living through life's hardest moments.
"If I can show up and inspire them, that 'Hey, you too can do something amazing with this very painful thing that you've gone through,' that's what life is all about," he said.

| Supported Targets | ESP32-S2 | ESP32-S3 |
| ----------------- | -------- | -------- |

# Touch Pad Interrupt Example

(See the README.md file in the upper level 'examples' directory for more information about examples.)

This example demonstrates how to set up ESP32-S2/S3's capacitive touch pad peripheral to trigger interrupt when a pad is touched. It also shows how to detect the touch event by the software for sensor designs when greater touch detection sensitivity is required.

- The hardware interrupt mode occupies less CPU resources, but we can only apply fixed threshold and software algorithms are also impossibile.
- The polling mode is flexible and supports various software algorithms. However, it comsumes more CPU.

ESP32-S2/S3 supports touch detection by configuring hardware registers. The hardware periodically detects the pulse counts. If the number of pulse counts exceeds the set threshold, a hardware interrupt will be generated to notify the application layer that a certain touch sensor channel may be triggered.

For a simpler example how to configure and read capacitive touch pads, please refer to [touch_pad_read](../touch_pad_read).

## How to use example

### Hardware Required

* A development board with ESP32-S2 or ESP32-S3 chip
* A touch extension board like [esp32-s2-touch-devkit-1](https://docs.espressif.com/projects/espressif-esp-dev-kits/en/latest/esp32s2/esp32-s2-touch-devkit-1/user_guide.html)

### Build and Flash

Build the project and flash it to the board, then run monitor tool to view serial output:

```
idf.py -p PORT flash monitor
```

(Replace PORT with the name of the serial port to use.)

(To exit the serial monitor, type ``Ctrl-]``.)

See the Getting Started Guide for full steps to configure and use ESP-IDF to build projects.

## Example Output

The application cycles between the interrupt mode and the pooling mode with a filter, to compare performance of the touch sensor system between both scenarios:

```
I (304) Touch pad: Initializing touch pad
I (304) Touch pad: Denoise function init
I (304) Touch pad: touch pad waterproof init
I (304) Touch pad: touch pad filter init 2
I (414) Touch pad: test init: touch pad [7] base 7382, thresh 1476
I (414) Touch pad: test init: touch pad [9] base 7349, thresh 1469
I (414) Touch pad: test init: touch pad [11] base 8047, thresh 1609
I (414) Touch pad: test init: touch pad [13] base 8104, thresh 810
I (5954) Touch pad: TouchSensor [9] be actived, status mask 0x200
W (6034) Touch pad: TouchSensor [13] be actived, enter guard mode
W (6034) Touch pad: In guard mode. No response
W (6174) Touch pad: TouchSensor [13] be actived, exit guard mode
I (6194) Touch pad: TouchSensor [9] be inactived, status mask 0x0
```

Recognizing that systems biology has fostered a paradigm shift in the practice of biology, ISB has interest in supporting educators in advancing science-related course offerings to better reflect contemporary practices of biology. With leadership from ISB's Logan Center for Education, ISB educators and scientists have collaborated with Washington's State Board for Community and Technical Colleges to offer faculty development for instructors of undergraduate biology. The partnership has hosted five workshops, with two more on the calendar, for more than 100 faculty members representing nearly all of the state's 34 community and technical colleges.


I've read the final book (so far) in this series, having just finished Vienna Secrets (review to follow). I think that the UK title for this book, Darkness Rising, is so much more appropriate, because the story has now moved towards the beginnings of more tightly-organized anti-Semitism in that city. What's really good about this series is that Tallis enables his readers throughout all four books to see what kind of cultural and political forces led to the evolution of powerful anti-Semitic thought. The pieces were all in place for the worst that's yet to happen. The mystery aspects of these novels were almost secondary as Tallis sets the stage.
Speaking of the mystery components, the crimes have varied, but Max Liebermann and Oskar Rheinhardt (the main characters) have always come through. The crimes ranged from a locked-room whodunit in the case of a murdered spiritualist (Mortal Mischief), to the death of an anaconda at the zoo and a rapid series of murders that follow (Vienna Blood), to a bizarre series of deaths that center around a boys' school (Fatal Lies -- my favorite) and finally (in Vienna Secrets), to a set of very strange and baffling decapitations. Liebermann consults with Rheinhardt and through his understanding of Freudian psychology, is able to help the police in some of the strangest crimes that Vienna has ever experienced.
As I read the series, I have to say that sometimes I went into brain overload with the tons of period details thrown in by the author. To be really blunt, I got really tired of reading about what these people ate in the coffeehouses, what their clothes looked like, what music they were listening to and playing. It's fine when an author gives you a little of this stuff, but sometimes I found myself skimming just to get back to the topic at hand. However, some people like the minutiae of life so if that's your thing, you're going to love these books. I'm more of a "let's get down to it" kind of reader, and so I got impatient.
There's even been a bit of romance throughout all four novels, so there's something for those mystery readers who like a little love interest with their crime. I'm not one of them, but Liebermann has an ongoing love angle. I won't get into that here, because it will spoil it for anyone who may wish to read these books, but thankfully (for me) it wasn't so overblown as to take over. As I said above, I just want to get to the point and let the main characters get to the crime solving.
Who would like these books? Well, definitely people who like light historical fiction, and definitely people who enjoy period mystery novels. These are NOT cozy mystery novels, so if your interest lies there, you may not enjoy this series so much. In general, these books all tie together very well and remain coherent throughout the series.
It's been fun reading the last three but now it's time to move on. That leads me to my next topic, this lady, who is Jo Bannister. She is the author of the Castlemere series, set in England, which features DS Frank Shapiro, DI Liz Graham and DS Cal Donovan.
This leaves me to start at #4, which is No Birds Sing. I'll report back as I finish each one.
