A ladder? No, not just a ladder. A symbol of self-reliance, of life change, of moving on and moving up. Practical? Yes. Meaningful? Yes! So what's the problem? Well, their size posts an obvious issue to most people who don't own a ladder. At Xtend+Climb, we've removed the space barrier and created a strong, durable, safe product that now grants access to any space from any storage place.
So who needs a ladder? Well, we'll tell you.
Graduates. Yes – graduates are an ideal candidate for a ladder. Taking that first big step into adulthood and self-reliance, while possibly still driving the first car they ever bought. Having a ladder means they don't have to ask mom & dad to borrow theirs, and ushers them into a new era of learning to do it for themselves.
Contractors. Painters. DIY-ers. Our contractor series has sturdy, extendable feet for additional stability. These heavy-duty ladders are transportable in any vehicle, from professional contractor vans to the weekend handyman's smart car. These ladders allow for more space for materials and tools, adding efficiency to every job big and small.
Newlyweds. Wedding gifts have consistently trended toward the practical, setting the new couple up for success by getting them the necessary tools for a new life together. This includes everything from power tools to kitchen supplies. So a ladder is (no pun intended) truly a great fit. Will they be moving into a starter house in their future, but still live in a smaller space currently? The storable feature of the Xtend+Climb grows with their home, future, and family.
Housewarming. Has someone you know recently made a new home purchase? There are always a lot of repairs, updates, painting – and those gutters to clean out! Give the gift of a portable, storable, usable ladder that will help them for years to come. From the biggest projects to the smallest tasks, this solution goes from inside to outside without banging into the new paint.
Downsizing empty-nesters, condo & apartment dwellers. Anyone with a small living space knows the importance of optimizing every square foot for convenience and usability. That doesn't mean that there aren't still tasks at hand that need a little lift to approach. Storing easily in closets, under the bed, or in a small storage space, this is the ladder that fits every job and every lifestyle.
Anyone without a work truck. Seriously. Work comes in all shapes and sizes, so do tasks and where we have to do them. However, we don't all have access to a ladder rack or work truck. Xtend+Climb ladders remove the barrier of transportation, space, and time. Our innovative telescoping technology is a game-changer on the professional and personal home-improvement front.

NACo Analysis of the Third COVID-19 Supplemental: The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act
Tags: Health, Community & Economic Development, Intergovernmental Affairs
Download Analysis
Over the last several weeks, Congress and the administration have been working to address national challenges related to COVID-19. In just a few weeks, they have quickly passed two bipartisan emergency packages which are directing billions of dollars to Coronavirus response and relief efforts.
Closely following the passage of the second package, Congress quickly shifted gears towards a third legislative package that would further address the economic impact of the coronavirus. The "Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act" (H.R. 748) and associated emergency supplemental appropriations would provide two trillion towards Coronavirus relief efforts. The massive rescue package — the biggest in U.S. history — would provide hundreds of billions of dollars in loans and grants to major industries and small businesses, direct cash payments to taxpayers and significantly expands unemployment benefits.
The analysis that follows highlights relevant components of the CARES Act for county governments, including a section-by-section breakdown outlining items of significance for county policy priorities.

House Leaders Push Ahead with Proposal for Virtual Oversight
By Robert Kelner, Muftiah M. McCartin, Angelle Smith Baugh, Perrin Cooke & William Sokolove on May 13, 2020
Posted in Congressional Investigations, Political Law
Last month, we highlighted congressional efforts to ensure that Congress is able to continue conducting the business of the American people during the ongoing COVID-19 crisis. After weeks of halting progress, those efforts took an important step forward this morning with the release of a proposed resolution that would temporarily modify the House rules to enable remote action both on the House floor and in House committees. The proposed resolution, which is expected to be considered by the House Rules Committee tomorrow morning, would have immediate implications for new and ongoing oversight investigations in the House.
As we explored in our previous post, current House and Senate rules require committee meetings to be open to the public and impose in-person quorum requirements for formal committee action. These rules have complicated efforts to conduct oversight virtually, with initial efforts to conduct so-called "paper hearings" scuttled after the Senate Rules Committee advised that such procedures did not qualify as official hearings under the Senate rules.
In April, House Democrats put forward a proposal that would have amended the House rules to loosen these requirements for in-person participation in official committee action and provide a path forward for oversight investigations—both old and new. The original Democratic proposal would have authorized the Speaker to permit Members to cast floor votes by proxy upon receiving a formal notification from the House Sergeant-at-Arms that a "pandemic emergency is in effect." In addition to enabling remote floor action, the resolution would have provided new authorities for House committees to conduct official business virtually during any period in which proxy voting is permitted.
In response to GOP opposition, Speaker Pelosi abruptly paused consideration of the Democratic proposal soon after its release and formed a task force to study the issue and come forward with consensus recommendations. The resolution introduced today is the byproduct of those discussions.
Overall, the new resolution narrows the scope of the original proposal in certain respects. Under the new proposal, the Speaker would be authorized to permit proxy voting only upon a formal notification from the House Sergeant-at-Arms that a "a public health emergency due to a novel coronavirus is in effect." Likewise, whereas an order permitting proxy voting would have automatically expired after 60 days under the original resolution, that period is now reduced to 45 days. On the other hand, the new resolution would go further by designing a process to permit actual remote voting (i.e., as opposed to voting by proxy). Remote voting would be permitted upon certification by the Committee on Administration that "operable and secure technology exists" to enable such voting, among other prerequisites.
Beyond these broader changes, however, the new rules governing remote committee hearings are largely unchanged. Specifically, the resolution would allow House committees to "conduct proceedings remotely" and provides that such proceedings are "considered as official proceedings for all purposes in the House." Committees conducting hearings would be required to ensure that Members are able to participate virtually "to the greatest extent practicable," with those Members counted for the purpose of establishing a quorum. The resolution also includes language harmonizing any temporary virtual procedures with existing committee rules. Most notably, committee chairs would be authorized to "issue subpoenas for return at a hearing or deposition to be conducted remotely." Likewise, the resolution would allow for witnesses to be placed under oath remotely and provides that witnesses may be accompanied by legal counsel when offering testimony.
The resolution does not designate a particular technology that committees must use to take testimony virtually, but the Rules Committee has advised that the Committee on Administration must approve the technology chosen. Further, the Committee on House Administration is tasked with studying the feasibility of differing technologies, to assess the security and usability of any technologies used for remote committee proceedings. Finally, the resolution specifically provides for the technical challenges that will surely arise as Congress adapts to unfamiliar virtual solutions, allowing Committee chairs to "declare a recess subject to the call of the chair at any time to address technical difficulties with respect to such proceedings."
While these proposed procedures are designed to allow the House to continue to operate in the immediate future, House Rules Committee Chairman James McGovern has emphasized that these are temporary solutions. Whether Senate leaders will follow their House colleagues in embracing virtual committee action remains uncertain. As before, Covington's congressional investigations team continues to monitor these developments closely and advise clients on the impacts of any procedural changes on ongoing and future congressional oversight inquiries.

Mallorca: The World on an Island
Submitted by Stephen White on June 24, 2013 - 07:52
The wonderful island of Mallorca has featured in a myriad of films and high profile advertisements over the years
The wonderful island of Mallorca has featured in a myriad of films and high profile advertisements over the years, but you'd probably never know it. Some of the world's leading brands and film
makers have used the island to represent almost the four corners of the planet in their high profile publicity shoots.
The beauty of the island as a location is that it has everything within a comparatively small area, beautiful landscape, fabulous beaches, the deep blue sea, mountain villages, marinas, harbours
and most importantly good weather and perfect light.
In Palma, the modern, cosmopolitan capital city, there's a diverse range of architecture which has been used to represent Paris, Italy, London's Soho, New York's Tribeca, and as we shall see, the
Caribbean!
Germán Traver, head of location services at Palma Pictures, the company which facilitates film productions on the island, also points out that in addition to all these advantages Mallorca also has
the perfect infrastructure to support the industry with a large and economical hotel base coupled with a modern airport with plenty of international flights.
Just to illustrate the importance of these productions to the island economy, the recent Captain Morgan advertisement, shot for a Superbowl slot, used around 400 actors and technicians and left
around €750,000 in the island's coffers as well as the great publicity for the Mallorca as these ads are seen by over 100 million people.
The list of top brands having used Mallorca for their publicity is almost endless, but includes Nike, Heinz, Armani, Budweiser, Lexus, Volkswagen, Stella Artois and Special K amongst others. To see
them all, take a look at Palma Pictures website – it's surprising how many locations you'll recognise!

The Institute of Certified Bookkeepers has been around since 1931. Its role is to improve and maintain the quality, credibility and reputation of bookkeeping, accounting, office administration and financial management training and qualifications in Southern Africa.
Do you need financial help towards your ICB studies?
At ICB we know that sometimes some of the most keen and deserving learners find it difficult to pay for their studies. So we're thrilled to announce that we are now making three bursaries available every year, worth R5,000 each. Every year we award bursaries to students that we think would put them to great use.
Who is eligible for an ICB Bursary?
ONLY applicants who intend to study or who are already studying on an ICB programme or ICB qualification.
What are the minimum requirements for an applicant to be considered?
A recognised school leaving certificate with a minimum of a Grade 10 pass.
Applicants already at institutions must have a good academic and attendance record.
According to academic merit, financial need and any special circumstances of need.
Final selections are made by an internal ICB bursary committee.
Bursary funds are paid out directly to an ICB accredited institution or service provider.
Successful bursary candidates will be notified by 31 May 2013.
Learners who are already studying an ICB programme or qualification, and have completed at least one subject.
What are the minimum requirements for an application?
A recognised school leaving certificate, with a minimum pass of Grade 10.
If you're already at an institution, you must have a good academic and attendance record.

Q: No USB devices or running emulators detected, despite ADB detecting the phone successfully I know this question was asked a lot, but going through dozens of answers none have been helpful.
I'm attempting to run a simple hello world on my Huawei Mate 9 using Android Studio 2.3.1 (The APP is 4.X Jellybean API) running on Debian (Jesse).
-I have enabled debugging options on the phone (I can see developer options)
-Installed the SDK and ADB through the Android Studio.
-Device is being detected successfully on ADB devices.*
-I have tried MTP and PTP (currently it's on PTP)
Despite all different combinations I don't see my phone ready for uploading my program.
*With android studio closed:
when I check adb it usually never finds the phone the first time (adb devices) but after i do kill-server and start-server, i get the unique phone ID the second time I run adb devices. Needless to say, should I run studio after the second time around when it detects it, the phone still does not appear.
Thanks

A: Try this two solutions :
1) Go to setting and than in security and enable " Unknown source " to allow installation of apps from unknown source. If its still not working try second solution.
2) This problem can be due to unsupported adb driver of you mobile model. For this Download PdaNet+ a universal adb driver downloader for all devices. It will ask to remove current driver and go for it. It will fix all the adb driver related issue.

A: So after rigorous search, I've found the reason for incapability of finding the phone in the android select deployment target menu is due to an option within a hash code menu.
You need to dial ##2846579## (works on Huawei 7 and onwards phones) in order to find a hidden window, for me it says ProjectMenu as the activity title name, then you must pick Background Settings->Background Debug->Open then restart your phone, should you have avd,android running well on your pc and debugging options activated on your phone this is all that's needed in order to deploy your app successfully.

As well as other compilers, Visual Studio 05 and 08 (Professional and Team System editions) support the OpenMP v2 standard. It's a collection of language extensions which make it easier to create multi-threaded code. Here I'll give a quick taster of two of the OpenMP 'directives' – 'Parallel' and 'For'.
The thing which I find really cool about OpenMP is that it requires such little change to the code. Normally you'd need to write a lot of lines of code to accomplish the same results we see above, but with OpenMP it's often as little as a single line – which you can comment out to go back to a single threaded approach. So if you find an inner loop which is hogging performance, and lends itself to parallelization, you can quickly make it multithreaded. It's supported on Xbox 360, but not across all game consoles. It's certainly useful for speeding up your tools.
For a list of other compilers which support OpenMP, see here. Note that Visual Studio 2005 does support it, but isn't listed, as they just list the latest version.
Go to your 'Project properties->C/C++->Language->OpenMP Support', and set it to 'Yes'.
To find out more about these and the other OpenMP directives, you can see a list on MSDN.
In my previous post, I introduced Cuda. These two technologies are very different - OpenMP requires minimal code change and runs on CPU, while Cuda requires much more work but allows you to run on the GPU with many more cores.
Hmm, I should have said 'all' consoles. I'm used to working on three consoles at once, and often if something doesn't work the same way on each, I think of it as not being viable - like a middleware that didn't support all plats needed. Thanks!
Visual Studio 2005 Standard doesn't have omp.h. Only Professional and Team System editions come with that file.
But I guess that if you copy that header file and all of its dependecies, you'd be able to build a project that uses OpenMP in VS 2005 Standard.
We (OpenMP.org) have Visual Studio 2008 in our list of compilers, and not VS 2005 because we want to list the just the latest versions.
But I'm curious to know why you are using 2005 and not 2008.
Thanks Daniel and Richard for your comments. At work we currently use 2005 Professional. As we have a lot of code and use various 3rd party sdk's / add-ins, upgrading IDE usually brings many problems, so we usually wait until there's a pressing reason to upgrade.
I'll update the post. Thanks again.
Thanks a lot from here!
What does Cuda code look like?


I've always hoped that the next baile funk thing (the first was, of course, from brazil, the second from angola) would come frome eastern europe. Imagine a mix between an Emir Kusturica movie and Kuduro. All those crazy horn orchestras, combined with electronic drums and screams in croatian. That would be top notch.
But till then, all I got is this. But its cool. Grime rap over a balkan style beat, by a dude called Riz MC.


Aloe x principis , a naturally occurring habitat cross between Aloe ferox and Aloe arborescens, grows with hybrid vigor and in some ways improves on both parent plants. Aloe x principis, the Aloe ferox x Aloe arborescens cross, grows tall but not as heavy as Aloe ferox and is more robust and orderly than Aloe arborescens.
Aloe x principis' numerous bright red flower spikes rise from large rosettes of thick blue-green leaves in winter/spring, similar to Aloe arborescens, and appear at a relatively young age. Aloe x principis forms branches more selectively than Aloe arborescens, and so is less bushy in form.
Aloe x principis can grow to 6-8 feet tall, handle full sun, and forms a branching tree shape that is an easily grown garden plant or pot plant. It will withstand light frost, down to the mid-20's Fahrenheit.
Some say that Aloe x principis combines the medicinal qualities of Aloe arborescens with the medicinal qualities of Aloe ferox, but we do not make that claim, and we grow and sell this plant for horticultural uses only.

Good morning and welcome to another week. I have a pretty good weekend – just the right amount of busy to be entertaining but not too much so that I didn't feel relaxed. On Friday night, we went to our friend's place with a few other people to play poker. I put up a decent fight but ended up being the first one out, sadly. I may have gotten too big for my britches after having won the last time we played. No matter. I'll be back with a vengeance next time. On Saturday, Kramer had a lot of homework to do, so I met up with my friend Donny to go to an Indonesian food festival in Woodside. I had black beef soup, which was perfectly spicy with bits of super tender beef and lots of lemongrass, as well as insanely good beef rendang, the leftovers of which I brought home to poor Kramer, still slaving away at home. Donny went off in search of fried chicken, being the true believer that he is, and I went home to make cookies before leaving once again to meet up with my friend Taren to view and photograph The Difficult to Name Reading Series in the city. After the show, Taren, Kramer and I went to a sports bar so that I could eat wings and Taren could watch basketball. I mean, we all ate wings, but I was definitely more into the wings than I was into basketball. We finished the night with a cocktail, then Kramer and I sat on the couch and watched half of an episode of Empire before I couldn't stay awake anymore and we went to bed. Sunday was perfect because we didn't leave the house until around 7 to grab a drink at the bar around the corner from our apartment, only to return home to eat the lamb I had cooked earlier because I realized as soon as we sat down that I was starving. We watched that crazy Scientology documentary, too, just to make sure that I'd have sufficiently terrifying nightmares – that seems to be what HBO is trying to do to me between this and The Jinx. Seriously – watch that documentary and tell me you don't have at least a little trouble falling asleep afterward.
Bagels from Black Seed, uni and toast with sake lees from Ssam Bar, old fashioneds, avos, a much needed cortado and larger than needed (but amazingly delicious) Pullman bread from The Bedford Cheese Shop.
I was recently gifted both this gorgeous Le Creuset cake stand and a selection of Bonne Maman jams, so clearly some sort of cake was in order. I settled on this mish-mash version of a coffee cake so that the jam could shine and I could adorn my new white cake stand with something outstanding. There's a layer of moist cake, made so thanks to a healthy helping of full fat Greek yogurt, a layer of sweet cinnamon-y streusel, a layer of sweet cherry preserves, and, of course, to top it all off, a layer of crunchy cinnamon-sugar goodness. All together, this is perhaps one of the best cakes I've ever made. It's great as a breakfast treat, definitely something to savor on a Sunday with a cup of black coffee, or good enough to have for dessert after a hopefully vegetable-heavy meal to counteract a little indulgence. I sliced this up, placed parchment paper between each slice, and gave some away but also froze about half of it to enjoy later. One night, I gave my friend Taren a few slices to take home, straigh from the freezer, and she said that it was absolutely delicious even after having been frozen – but I knew that already, because I'm of the belief that everything sweet, or at least almost everything, is better frozen or at least a little chilled.
Cherry preserves? Hello, my love.
Make your streusel and your cake batter.
Then pour half of your batter into your prepared pan, followed by half of your streusel.
Then add your jam by creating a well around the inside of the streusel.
Next, add the rest of your batter.
And the rest of your streusel.
Bake until a tester comes out clean.
Allow to cool, brush with butter, cinnamon and sugar and serve.
A cinnamon-sugar streusel coffee cake made with cherry preserves and topped with more crunchy cinnamon-sugar.
First, make your streusel. Combine your sugars, flour, cinnamon and salt in a medium sized bowl, then use your hands to cut in the butter until coarse crumbs form. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator until ready to use.
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and generously butter a 10-inch bundt cake pan.
In the bowl of your mixer, beat together your sugar and butter until well creamed, about 3 minutes total. Add in your eggs, one at a time, scraping down the bowl as needed and only adding in the next egg after the previous one has been incorporated. Add in the vanilla or almond extract and beat until combined, then add in the yogurt or sour cream and beat until combined, again, scraping the bowl as necessary.
Whisk together your flour, baking soda, baking powder and cinnamon. Slowly add the flour mixture to your batter, a bit at a time, until well combined, being careful not to overmix.
Pour half of your batter into your prepared pan, followed by half of your streusel. Use a spoon to make a well (or, as I like to call it, a moat) around the middle of the batter, and pour the jam into it. Top the jam with the rest of your cake batter, then add the rest of your streusel on top of that. Pat the streusel down a bit to even it out. Bake for 55-65 minutes, until golden and set - the sugar will be bubbling a bit on top.
Place the cake on a cooling rack and let it cool for an hour before running a butter knife around the edges and releasing the cake from the pan and onto your plate. Brush the top of the cake with 2-3 tablespoons of melted butter, then sprinkle with your combined ½ cup of sugar and ½ teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Allow to cool for another 30-45 minutes or so before slicing. This will keep well in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months (I still have a few slices in the freezer myself).
A donut cake sounds lovely!!
Wow – looks incredible! I agree with you on the argument that sweet things are best somewhat chilled. I love cold/room temperature pie so much more than warm out of the oven!
People always think I'm crazy when I freeze baked goods and give them to them, but they're so good! Love that this cake has jam and streusel.

The Middle East and North Africa span both poles of migration: as countries of migrant destination, particularly in the Gulf Cooperation Council countries, and as countries of migrant origin. The region has a large supply of young, active workers, with more than 20 million migrants working elsewhere in the region or in Europe. The research here focuses on labor migration to the region, including the policies and regulations that govern such migration and the role of recruiters; the humanitarian flows that have resulted from wars and political instability; diaspora engagement; and more.
A Growing Destination for Sub-Saharan Africans, Morocco Wrestles with Immigrant Integration
Long a country of emigration and a springboard for migrants aiming to reach Europe, Morocco has emerged as a destination for many sub-Saharan Africans. As more migrants remain in Morocco, the kingdom has implemented policies to aid with integration. But challenges remain, with most of the estimated 700,000 sub-Saharan Africans living in precarious conditions and irregular status despite some legalization programs.

Egypt: Migration and Diaspora Politics in an Emerging Transit Country
From being a source of labor emigration to the Gulf region to a destination for refugees from Syria, sub-Saharan Africa, and elsewhere, Egypt has long experienced different forms of mobility. This article, which profiles the trends and policies that have shaped Egypt's migration history, focuses on its long-standing use of migration as a soft-power tool to achieve its foreign policy aims and as a safety valve for political discontent.
Middle Eastern and North African Immigrants in the United States
In 2016, nearly 1.2 million immigrants from the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region lived in the United States. MENA immigration has picked up in recent decades, owing to war and worsening economic prospects. This article offers the latest data on the MENA population in the United States, which is more likely to come via humanitarian routes and less likely via family reunification than the foreign-born population overall.
European Leaders Pursue Migration Deals with North African Countries, Sparking Concerns about Human Costs
European leaders in 2017 pursued migration partnerships with North African countries, seeking to stem maritime arrivals across the Mediterranean. Italy struck a deal with Libya to provide support in cracking down on illegal migration and smugglers, while Germany signed cooperation agreements with Egypt and Tunisia. Meanwhile, widespread reports of migrant abuse in Libya are prompting questions about the limitations and human costs of these partnerships.
As Displacement Becomes Long-Term, Refugee Hosts Grapple with New Normal
Millions of displaced people were unable to return home in 2017, and countless others found themselves newly displaced. Targeted violence in Myanmar caused more than 624,000 Rohingya to flee to Bangladesh, and conflict in South Sudan drove at least 668,000 abroad. Some first-asylum countries, such as Uganda and Turkey, were largely accommodating, while others, such as Jordan and Lebanon, pressured refugees to leave.
Turkey has been on the frontlines of the Syrian refugee crisis from the beginning. The vast majority of Turkey's nearly 3.2 million Syrian asylum seekers live in cities, putting pressure on the limited resources and legal authority of local governments to serve them. This article examines Istanbul's creative approaches to meeting the needs of this vulnerable population while balancing the concerns of local citizens.
Over the past year, MPI has partnered with the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation to examine how diasporas contribute to – or detract from - development efforts in their countries of origin. MPI and USAID have published an edited volume of the research. Please join us for the release of the book where speakers will discuss new thinking on the role of diaspora engagement in U.S. foreign and development policy.
In 2016, the European Union announced with fanfare a new Migration Partnership Framework to inform cooperation with countries of origin and transit. While the bloc has long recognized collaboration as key to achieving its migration-management aims, EU partnerships face persistent challenges, including looking beyond short-term enforcement goals and taking into account partner needs, capacity, and objectives.
Since the 2015–16 refugee crisis, European policymakers have eagerly sought cooperation with origin and transit countries in the hopes of stemming unauthorized migration to Europe. This approach is neither new, nor without its limitations. By examining the evolution of two longstanding Mediterranean partnerships—between Spain and Morocco, and Italy and Tunisia—this report offers insights on what has and has not worked.
Eager to emulate the success of an EU-Turkey deal that has helped sharply reduce crossings into Greece, the European Union is exploring similar partnerships with transit countries along the North African coastline. But as this commentary explores, these prospective deals with Libya and other governments may be built upon unstable foundations and come with inherent complexities, possible risks for North African partners, and moral and other hazards for the European Union.
More than 18,000 Syrian refugees have been resettled in the United States since civil war broke out in Syria in 2011. Nearly half of Syrian refugees are under age 14, and this population is more dispersed geographically across the country than the overall Syrian immigrant population. This article offers a demographic profile of Syrian refugees, including age, gender, language, and religion, as well as top state and city destinations.
With global displacement at a post-World War II high, the international community made some advances on refugee protection in 2016, but there were also steps backward. The United Nations held the first-ever refugee summit and some countries, including the United States and Canada, increased their resettlement commitments. Meanwhile, conflict intensified in some hotspots and publics turned against refugees, as this Top 10 article explores.
Marking the release of All at Sea: The Policy Challenges of Rescue, Interception, and Long-Term Response to Maritime Migration, this book discussion explores the different facets of maritime migration and the challenges governments, civil society, the private sector, and international organizations face in tackling this issue together. Presenters discuss the overwhelming Mediterranean crisis and movements across the Bay of Bengal/Andaman Sea, the Red Sea/Gulf of Aden, in the Caribbean, and the waters around Australia; and the particular challenges for policymakers in each of these cases.
With maritime migration the subject of significant policy and public focus in Europe, Australia, and beyond, this timely volume reviews the policy responses to irregular maritime arrivals at regional, national, and international levels. The book includes case studies of the major global hotspots—the Mediterranean, Gulf of Aden, Bay of Bengal/Andaman Sea, Australia, and the Caribbean—and examines trends and policy responses.
Moving Beyond Pandemic: Human Smuggling in an Age of Pandemic
With maritime migration the subject of significant policy and public focus in Europe, Australia, and beyond, this timely volume reviews the policy responses to irregular maritime arrivals at regional, national, and international levels. The book includes case studies of the major global hotspots and examines trends and policy responses.

I am in awe of what we can do today to protect normal tissues while escalating the doses to tumors. The stereotactic technology that was unimaginable even 10-15 years ago is now something I routinely utilize. At the same time, I truly enjoy talking with my patients and explaining in a straightforward, understandable way why I am seeing them, what the benefit of radiation will be for them personally, and what the process entails.
Dr. Janel Cox is a board-certified radiation oncologist at MRO St. Paul Regions. She joined MRO in 2011.
Dr. Cox thrives on the collegial team approach to treatment at MRO where she depends on the nurses, therapists, Dosimetrists, and physicists to develop and implement treatment plans. She is also invigorated by the multiple weekly multidisciplinary tumor boards that enable her to work directly with surgical oncologists, medical oncologists, pathologists and radiologists reviewing challenging cases.
Dr. Cox grew up in White Bear Lake, MN, and has lived in many parts of the country through her training and early years of practice. Eventually she and her husband moved to St. Paul to raise their children closer to their extended family.
Dr. Cox's first exposure to radiation oncology was in college when her grandmother was being treated for breast cancer. Subsequently her introduction to an oncology course in medical school was taught by an inspiring radiation oncologist. After rotating through a variety of fields during medical school, she circled back to radiation which utilizes her computer science and math undergraduate training and additionally allows her to compassionately interact directly with patients and their families.
In her practice, Dr. Cox treats all adult malignancies and participates in RTOG protocols as well as others available through the local Community Clinical Oncology Program (CCOP).
Dr. Cox enjoys biking, hiking, photography, knitting, and traveling with family and friends.

Action 4-1: Motion experiments on animals and humans (UTH). During this action accurate measurements of robot motion characteristics during walk and run on uneven terrain will be examined and compared with gait analysis data from individuals with similar anatomical characteristics. Robots' kinematics will be recorded using our 10 camera Vicon motion analysis. Multiple markers will be positioned on each segment to obtain realistic 3D motions. Moreover ground reaction forces during robots' gait will be measured. The outcomes of this action will help NTUA and FORTH team to optimize the various motion control parameters of robots' system and computational models.
Action 4-2: Experiments on algorithms and control methods for four-legged robots (NTUA). After the quadruped robot is developed, the algorithms, which have been tested computationally, will be applied on the robot. It is evident that the theoretical model and the actual robot will not be an exact match, since the actual robot is much more complex and there are many undefined parameters which affect it, which are not included in the Matlab model. Therefore, all three parts, the control algorithm, the theoretical model and the developed robot, must be changed so that the actual robot will move as it is supposed to, according to the theoretical model. This will require a large amount of effort, and it is possible that different approaches in both the control and the mechanical part of the robot will need extensive changes to accomplish the goal. During the whole procedure, UTH will be aiding NTUA with information on how nature has overcome the difficulties that will be encountered.
Action 4-3: Experiments on multi-legged robots (FORTH). A comprehensive range of experiments with multi-legged prototypes will be performed, focusing on motion over unstructured and/or uneven terrain, to assess the efficacy of gait generation strategies. The results of these will be employed towards optimizing the various motion control parameters, and refining the computational models. Towards the latter goal, special testbeds and experimental procedures will be set up for characterizing the interaction of the robot with the locomotion substrate. The potential of employing motion capture equipment at UTH and NTUA, for obtaining accurate robot motion measurements will be explored. The experimental assessment of the sensor-based closed loop behaviours, (WP2), will be pursued. Action 4-4: Experiments on biped robots (FORTH). The availability of a humanoid platform with the necessary characteristics (FORTH currently owns a FUJITSU HOAP-3 humanoid robot), will enable the implementation of the locomotion control strategies designed, and studied in simulation, in WP2. Experimentation will involve the calibration of the robot, the characterization of its sensory apparatus and the implementation of a set of basic behaviours, on which further developments will be based. The experiments will include different types of locomotion behaviours (e.g., walking, running or jumping), as well as different types of environments (e.g., inclined surfaces, stairs), focusing on efficiency and robustness. The obtained results will be systematically compared to the human data obtained from UTH, and appropriate modifications of the control strategies will be investigated.

Q: How to determine what the type of content in clipboard is in macOS? I am working on an Keyboard Maestro macro to save the clipboard content to hard drive and then pass the file to Yoink :

Since there will be lots of kinds of content put into clipboard, e.g. PNG, JPG, TXT, RTFD etc. I know I should determine the content type. Then I come up with Clipboard Condition  :

It is frustrating that Clipboard Condition currently only supports the function of handling text. So, can I use Keyboard Maestro to determine what the type of content is in clipboard? In my case, if there is any way to automatically save the content of clipboard to hard drive that would be great.
Since Keyboard Maestro has great capacity of different kinds of scripts, if some shell scripts, Unix Software, Python Tools could return the clipboard type will also helpful.


Since the beginning of the Ochoch Hik'eek project there has been a desire to create a public library that serves the community as much as the school. The dream was to create a place where one could borrow books, access the Internet, and have a relaxed environment to read, play, or study. We had already received many donated books and several computers – which were used to teach computation classes- but we needed someone to dedicate their time, effort, and knowledge to organize all of the material.
Thanks to two volunteers -Roberto and Ana from Argentina and Colombia – who arrived in August of 2016, after two months of working alongside students and teachers, the dream became a reality. We are eternally grateful to them. We have already accumulated a catalogue of hundreds of labeled books that can be borrowed, and we are starting a project to convert it into a public library, so that people from the neighborhood have access to the computers and the borrowing of books.
With the link PROYECTO BIBLIOTECA you can read about Ana's experience (in Spanish) and her work in Casa de la Esperanza.
The project intends to strengthen librarian services and programs, to promote reading and writing. Utilizing the support of information and communication technologies – principally computers with Internet connection – the project targets children and youth with scarce economic resources, who need a cultural and educational space for intellectual enrichment. The initiative also plans that the Public Library will grow its bibliographical catalogue, further utilize its endowment of cutting edge technology, and implement reading programs, to support scholarly activities in the Basic Mayan institute.
However there are still things to improve in the future. The library needs new computers and Internet connection, but the school can't assume the cost of maintenance at the present moment. We are improving the situation bit by bit.
After the work of our volunteers and students in 2016, there was a beautiful Mayan ceremony to inaugurate the library. They are hoping that it will offer help and knowledge to all who pass through its shelves, read its books, and enjoy its games.

DE&I Champions: Dr. Pam Diamond
The chief medical officer and co-founder of Curavit Clinical Research is bringing a new level of inclusiveness to clinical trials.
Meagan Parrish Lead Editor
Permission granted by Dr. Pam Diamond
The pharma industry is full of execs who were initially inspired to pursue a career in healthcare after seeing a doctor in action. But not many can say this interest stemmed from up-close encounters with a doctor from the von Trapp family — the family who formed a singing group together and were the inspiration behind "The Sound of Music."
When Dr. Pam Diamond was growing up in a tiny Rhode Island town, her parents fought chronic health conditions for years while being cared for by Dr. Rupert Georg von Trapp — the oldest of the original seven Austrian von Trapp children who formed the Trapp Family Singers with their parents, Georg and Agatha.
"I was inspired to make medicine my career from witnessing Dr. von Trapp make such a difference in the lives of both my parents," Diamond says. "He was a superb clinician."
Diamond had her first encounter with disparities in expectations when she told her high school guidance counselor that she wanted to go to medical school, but was encouraged to pursue nursing instead. Of course, Diamond didn't listen and not only succeeded in medical school, she soared, breaking down barriers as the only woman in her general surgery internship and then as the only woman resident during the last two years of her otolaryngology training.
After practicing medicine for almost 30 years, Diamond "decided she wanted to make a broader impact on healthcare by modernizing clinical trials," her nominator says.
Seeing opportunities to innovate in the field, Diamond co-launched Curavit Clinical Research in 2019. The timing could not have been more challenging — and more apt. Although the pandemic brought clinical trials to a halt around the world, Curavit emerged with digital solutions just in time, becoming the first all-virtual contract research organization (VCRO). According to her nominator, there were only 617 decentralized clinical trials (DCTs) with a virtual component in 2019. In the space of just three years, that number has now swelled to 1,300 trials.
"And the benefits on clinical trial speed, access and patient diversity — even outcomes — are becoming clear," her nominator says. "Maybe as important, the adoption of DCTs has opened a new level of innovative thinking in how clinical research gets done."
"Undoubtedly, COVID-19 helped DCTs gain acceptance among sponsors, investigators and participants. But now stakeholders are seeing the incredible advantages of this new digital model to drive acceptance post-pandemic and beyond."
Dr. Pam Diamond
Chief medical officer, co-founder, Curavit Clinical Research
To stay successful in the quickly evolving space, Diamond says she has relied on decisive thinking.
"DCTs rely heavily on technology," she says. "If trial design decisions are not made expeditiously, the originally proposed technology solutions could become obsolete."
DCTs have not only brought more speed and efficiency into the trial space, they've also been a boon for patient diversity. Diamond's nominator notes that Black patients comprise just 5% of the research population, even though they account for 13.4% of the total population in the U.S. Yet, Diamond believes virtual DCTs may help level the research field — just one of several key advantages DCTs bring.
"DCTs provide greater access to trials, reduce trial budgets, improve population representation in trials and make rare disease research dramatically more feasible," Diamond says.
To date, Diamond's nominator says one of the company's most successful efforts has been in remote digital technologies to test a hearing loss treatment developed by a Boston area biotech company.
"[Diamond] and Curavit's Lead Audiologist, Dr. Rachel Rangel, designed a unique way to record the audiometric evaluations of patients across all sites with the recordings automatically uploaded to a cloud-based platform, accessible to the Curavit team for objective endpoint adjudication," her nominator writes.
As an "unassuming, behind-the-scenes innovator," Diamond's nominator says these new approaches are being pushed forward because Diamond "replaced her white coat for a suit coat" to connect more patients to clinical trials.

US to help identify unaccounted-for Vietnamese soldiers during wartime
Minh Vu
Addressing war legacy issues have enabled the bilateral ties to be flourishing with multisectoral progress.
The US continues to address war legacies in a new initiative that will help account for Vietnamese soldiers missing in action (VMIA) nearly 50 years after the end of the war.
Participants at the conference on August 4. Photos: Baoquocte
The US government will soon launch the Vietnamese Wartime Accounting Initiative following decades of Vietnamese cooperation to conduct the fullest possible accounting of missing US personnel, according to the US Institute of Peace (USIP).
The new project will promote greater dialogue both in and between the US and Vietnam on war legacy issues and reconciliation and how it fits into broader efforts to overcome legacies of war.
In the latest move, US and Vietnamese officials showed how the new initiative will enhance Vietnam's wartime accounting capacity and deepen trust between the two countries at the video conference titled "Addressing the Legacies of the Vietnam War: The Next Step Forward."
Senator Patrick Leahy, Chairman of the Senate Committee on Appropriations.
Speaking at the conference, Sen. Patrick Leahy, Chairman of the Senate Committee on Appropriations, said searching for Vietnamese missing in action (VMIA) may be the most difficult and the most meaningful as it enables the two governments to carry out a better future together.
Explaining the meaning of the initiative, Leahy said: "For more than 40 years, the government of Vietnam has advocated hundreds of American soldiers were missing in action (MIA) from the war. They did it even during the years the US maintained an economic embargo against Vietnam."
"That support has not only provided closure for many American families who lost fathers, sons, brothers, it also contributed greatly to building trust and improving relations between our two countries."
"And now we're taking the first step to reciprocate for those many years of cooperation on American MIA," Leahy said, noting that it's the first time the UN has embarked an official multi-year effort jointly with the government of Vietnam to locate and identify some of Vietnam's wartime MIA.
According to the senator, the number of those could be hundreds of thousands together with many Vietnamese civilians "whose fate remains unknown."
He appreciated the efforts by the US Defense State and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) in making progress in bilateral relations over the past years.
Leahy emphasized that "we're going to do what we can to provide whatever archival information and technical expertise we have to enable the government of Vietnam to carry out the support."
He said the move helps the two countries set an example for other former enemies around the world. "They can learn from what we're doing today," he added.
Meanwhile, Ambassador George Moose, USIP Board of Directors, said he was impressed with how destructive the war was and how the people of Vietnam continued to live with its consequences when he and his wife visited Vietnam in a week-long trip from the north to the south in 2014.
The War Remembrance Museum in Ho Chi Minh City showed "the tonnage of ordinance and bombs dropped on Vietnam far exceeded what was dropped during the World War II and the Korean War combined," Moose said.
But throughout their visit, what struck them most was the fact that in no place and at no time were they ever made to feel unwelcome or unwanted. "It was a remarkable testimony to the spirit of forgiveness of the people of Vietnam" and it's what gives him both encouragement and hope regarding the efforts the two countries are making together to address the legacies of the war.
Ambassador of Vietnam to the US Ha Kim Ngoc.
Vietnamese Ambassador to the US Ha Kim Ngoc stressed that the remains of over 200,000 cases of VMIA have yet to be found and more than 300,000 recovered cases remained unidentified.
Therefore, the US government's accounting initiative represents its most sincere, profound, and humane form.
Ngoc emphasized that people in Vietnam have set aside the past, look into the future, and foster a new relationship with the US. He hopes that the USAID will earmark additional resources to establish a center of excellence in Vietnam for the hi-tech identification of VMIA soldiers.
Christopher Klein, Chargé d'Affaires, US Embassy in Vietnam said the VMIA accounting initiative fits very well with the US's years-long cooperation with Vietnam to reconcile and address the tragic effects of the war.
According to him, former US Ambassador to Vietnam Daniel Kritenbrink reiterated that the common accounting efforts and their work to confront the legacies of the war form the foundation for the countries' current flourishing relationship from growing security ties to the tremendous trade and development opportunities.
Klein affirmed that none of it would be possible without US-Vietnam cooperation over decades on war legacy issues. It's the heart vision and courage of so many people on both sides.
During US Defense Secretary Austin's Vietnam visit on July 28-29, the two countries signed MoU on Vietnamese Wartime Accounting to help Vietnam locate and identify VMIA.

From F-16 Upgrades To AJK, Have US-Pak Relations Rekindled Again?
George Mayer October 3, 2022 3 min read
Source: hindustantimes.com
It is quite evident that the US has decided to shore up Pakistan Army Chief Gen Bajwa and PM Shehbaz Sharif with military aid to ensure that Machiavellian and anti-America Imran Khan Niazi does not come to power again.
US ambassador to Pakistan Donald Blome today tweeted about this visit to Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) in deference to his host country, which in fact is an occupied Indian territory.
The ouster of Machiavellian Imran Khan Niazi, who lives up to his reputation of swinging the ball both ways on April 10, the planned assassination of al Qaeda terrorist chief Ayman Al Zawahiri in heart of Kabul on July 31 and USD 450 million-dollar upgrade package for Pak F-16 fighters, clearly indicates that the relationship between Pentagon and Rawalpindi GHQ has been rekindled after a brief hiatus.
It is quite evident from the chain of events that the US wants to shore up the Shehbaz Sharif regime and Pakistan economically so that an opportunistic Imran Khan, who weaponised a diplomatic cipher into an anti-US campaign before his government was ousted, never comes back to power. The so-called diplomatic cipher has apparently gone missing from the prime minister's office in Islamabad and perhaps is in the custody of the Pakistan Army Chief Gen Qamar Jawed Bajwa in Rawalpindi.
New Delhi has taken note of all these events and senior officials believe that the transactional relationship between US and major non-NATO ally has been kick-started again. And Pakistan's proven ability to do a strategic U-turn, produce and expose a top terrorist from its tactical locker be it Ayman Al Zawahiri and its ability to play both China and US to its short-term advantage remains quite unmatched.

Unlike Pakistan, India under Narendra Modi with its civilization, culture, and history, stands up for its national interest be it on Ukraine war and global good like Climate Change. It is quite clear that Pakistan will use the F-16 upgrades including air-to-air missiles against India and not against any third country.
Fact is that the US transactional relationship with Pakistan pays off in the long run as it can sell top of the line weapons and life-cycle maintenance to Rawalpindi unlike India which wants full transfer of technology for any acquired hardware platform from America.
Given that Pakistan needs US help to secure a multi-billion IMF loan to repay Chinese debt incurred on white elephant projects at exorbitant interest rates, the US-Pak relationship will deepen in future with Islamabad asking no questions. The US defence assistance to Pakistan came at a time when Islamabad needed money for providing flood relief.
While India knows that US needs New Delhi and vice versa on Indo-Pacific to counter a belligerent China, it is also aware that America continues to look the other way when it comes to proscribed Khalistani SFJ organisation and its leader who spews venom against India just as Pakistanis continue to send terrorists to India to cause mayhem.
The same is the situation with US allies Canada and UK with the latter being the principal advisor to Washington on Af-Pak region with strong bias towards Pakistan. One must not forget that disastrous role played by UK Chief of Defence Staff Nick Carter in getting the Taliban regime installed and US forces unceremoniously kicked out of Kabul.

Although India and the US share a robust bilateral relationship with deep sharing of intelligence and mutually beneficial information and high end technology, the Indian diaspora is now wondering whether citizens of a friendly power must wait for over 800 days to get a US visa.
It is quite evident that the rise of India will not be benign and will be contested both by the West as much as by the East. India should be prepared to go solo.

This is how my purple faded. Eventually it went pastel pink (if slightly more salmon than cotton Candy pink).
I returned to proper purple! This just meant fading to pink and adding purple on top, but I would've mixed in some other similar shades along with it because I like coming up with a unique colour.
This is the same red as before and you can see how it fades cooler, which I really like.
In late October 2018 I opted to dye my hair from the reds and purples I usually used to green and blue. The pastels at the back didn't show very well but the rest did. As much as I love this look, it is much higher maintenance than purple and red (which both fade to pink) so I'm switching back. The green in particular has faded to a murky colour.
This is a slightly faded Joico colour intensity in one of their warmer reds. It still fades to a pleasant pink if you use a silver toner.

            </gx:Track>
        </Placemark>
    </Document>
</kml>

The Xml is valid. My problem is that i cant get gx:simpleyArraydata out of the file.
Kml kml = Kml.unmarshal(file)
Document doc = (Document) kml.getFeature();
Placemark dfP = (Placemark) doc.getFeature().get(0);
Track t = (Track) dfP.getGeometry();
//works
List<String> whens = t.getWhen();
//works
List<String> coords = t.getCoord();
//does not work, is always empty
List<Object> simpleArrayData = t.getSchemaData().get(0).getSchemaDataExtension();

Do i use the Framework wrong?
Any help is greatly aprreciated.
Thanks
