Q: grep words containing numbers I have two strings
"Some Special xn39432n4 (foo bar)"
"Another thing goes 21 deer 14.5"

with sed, I want this output
xn39432n4
21 deer 14.5

means all space separated words containing numbers (from first to last occurrence) and non numerical words between them as well.

A: Maybe something like:
sed -n '
  s/\([^[:space:]]*[[:digit:]][^[:space:]]*\(.*[[:digit:]][^[:space:]]*\)\{0,1\}\).*/\
\1/
  s/.*\n//p' < your-file

Which matches a sequence of non-whitespace containing at least one digit optionally (\{0,1\}) followed by any sequence of characters followed by a digit and all the non-whitespaces following it.
That is captured in \1, we discard the characters after that (.*) and insert a newline before it, which we discard along with what precedes it in the next s command.

A: You can do this with GNU grep:
$ grep -oP '\w+[.\d]+\w+|[.\d]+\s+\w+\s+[.\d]+' file
xn39432n4
21 deer 14.5

The two regular expressions are:

*

*\w+[.\d]+\w+: match one or more word characters (\w+ matches a-z,A-Z and _), then one or more digits or . characters ([.\d]+), and then one or more word characters again (\w+).

*[.\d]+\s+\w+\s+[.\d]+': match one or more digits or . characters ([.\d]+) then one or more whitespace characters (\s+), then one or more word characters again (\w+), then one or more whitespace characters and, finally, one or more numbers or . again.

Combined, these should match the two cases you described, although it's hard to know since you have only given two simple examples. And with the -o option to GNU grep, we print only the matching portion of each line.

16 of the best snowy stories for children
There's a magic about snow that makes it such a memorable part of childhood.
It turns the whole world into a giant white playground and suspends real life for a few hours as even parents down tools to have fun.
While much of the country has enjoyed a winter wonderland already this season, Baby Bookworm and I have always been in the wrong place at the wrong time – and he's yet to experience snow in real life.
So we'll make do with these stories for now, all set against a snowy backdrop.
1. The Snowman by Raymond Briggs. £7.99 (paperback), Penguin
The animated version may be synonymous with Christmas (and one of the rare things that will make BB sit silent and still for 15 minutes), but the original picture book bares no trace of the festive season at all.
Instead this classic, wordless story is a celebration of childhood's simple joys and everyday heartbreaks, as James and his snowman play while the rest of the world sleeps.
Inevitably, after a magical night of soaring through the skies, the pair have to part. The ending gets you every time but is a wonderful way to introduce children as young as two to the concept of loss and the value of happy memories. Available from Amazon
Our favourite classic Christmas books for children
2. Be Brave Little Penguin by Giles Andreae and Guy Parker-Rees. £6.99, Orchard.
Pip-Pip is the smallest penguin in the South Pole but while he loves the ice and snow, he's petrified of the sea.
He'd love to join in the fun with his family and friends, but what if he can't swim or a monster tries to eat him? Can he overcome his fear and take a plunge into unknown waters?
With catchy rhyming text, an empowering ending and super sparkly cover, this is another bedtime hit from the Giraffes Can't Dance dream team. Available from Amazon
3. The Storm Whale in Winter by Benji Davies. £6.99 (paperback), Simon & Schuster
This snow-covered follow-up to the award-winning story about a little boy called Noi is just as touching and beautifully illustrated as the original.
As winter descends and the sea turns to ice, Noi worries about the whale he saved last summer. But when his dad disappears and the brave child gets in trouble trying to find him, it's time for the whale to save the boy. Another gorgeous read from Benji Davies. Available from Amazon
The Grotlyn by Benji Davies and six other spooky stories for little ones
4. Something's Fishy by Jean Gourounas. £11.95 (hardback), Phaidon
Penguin is doing spot of ice fishing but as she waits patiently for one to bite, she finds herself with an unwelcome and curious audience.
The grumpy angler struggles to keep her cool as the walrus, moose and eskimo puzzle over her lack of fish – especially when they discover the bait is an irresistible slice of cake. Something strange must be afoot…
This first English book by French author-illustrator Gourounas is both deliciously deadpan and coolly designed, with each page building up anticipation of a punchline that will make tiny readers chuckle. Available from Amazon
5. One Snowy Night by Nick Butterworth. £6.99 (paperback), HarperCollins
The first tale in the classic Percy the Park Keeper series is 30 years old now and the perfect introduction to this genial character. In this heartwarming story, Percy ends up sharing his hut with a full cast of animal characters as each one knocks on his door asking for help to escape the dark and cold.
The result is a comic bedtime with ducks in drawers and mice in slippers – but what is that mysterious noise under the floorboards? Available from Amazon
6. Hortense and the Shadow by Natalia and Lauren O'Hara. £10.99 (hardback), Penguin
Hortense is a brave and spirited little girl who gets annoyed by the shadow that follows her every move. One day she escapes it and feels happy – until she stumbles across some bandits and realises her shadow is the very thing she needs…

The two of them pair up to deliver all the right toys to all the right boys and all the right toys to all the right girls – and a merry Christmas to everyone. Available from Amazon
8. The Snowy Day by Ezra Jack Keats.£5.57 (paperback), Puffin
American author and illustrator Ezra Jack Keats was a pioneer in children's literature, breaking the colour barrier when he published The Snowy Day in 1962 about a black boy called Peter. The simple story was to be the first of many featuring the landmark character and won the distinguished Caldecott Medal the following year.
Keats believed that all children should see themselves in books and based his stories on his own impoverished upbringing in an urban, multiracial setting. Peter's day in the snow is all about the simple pleasures a blanketing of the white stuff can bring – laying footprints in fresh fall, poking laden branches with sticks and warming up in the bath afterwards.
We particularly love his unique illustrative style, which combines collages of different textured fabrics, homemade snowflake stamps and splatterings of ink from a toothbrush. It's just like a child making art. Buy from Amazon
9. I'll Love You For Ever by Owen Hart and Sean Julian. £10.99 (hardback), Little Tiger
This sweet rhyming story about a parent's eternal love for their child is like a bear hug in a book.
It takes you on a journey through the seasons with Polar Bear and her Cub as she explains to him how snow will melt and leaves will fall but she will always be at his side for guidance and a cuddle.
The soft illustrations are a real feast for the eyes too, from the pair swimming in the turquoise sea to padding through a golden wood. Available from Amazon
10. The Way Home For Wolf by Rachel Bright and Jim Field. £6.99 (paperback), Orchard
The dream team behind the award-winning The Lion Inside and The Koala Who Could team up for a fourth inspiring animal tale, this time set in the snowy Arctic – resulting in some truly atmospheric images.
Wolf cub Wilf is the star of the story, who discovers that even the most strong and independent individuals need the support of a friend when times get tough. As always, Rachel's rhymes scan perfectly while Jim's cinematic illustrations are especially epic. Available from Amazon
11. Up & Down: A Walk In The Countryside by Rosalind Beardshaw. £6.99 (board book), Nosy Crow.
Bundle up in a warm coat and boots, and head out to explore the snow – and the world of opposites – with this National Trust first concepts book for babies and toddlers, one of a set of four based around the seasons.
Illustrator Rosalind Beardshaw brings the excitement of a winter walk in the countryside to life as you follow two friends sledging down hills, climbing trees and spotting native birds.
Naturally the idyllic expedition ends not with overtired, shivering toddlers sobbing but with everyone enjoying hot chocolate by a jolly snowman. We can dream… Available from Amazon
12. The Gritterman by Orlando Weeks. £17.99 (hardback), Particular Books
The former frontman of indie band The Maccabees has created a touching tale about an ice cream man who only feels happy in winter when he turns to gritting roads.
It's reminiscent of Raymond Briggs, thanks to its gentle illustrations and melancholic edge, and an accompanying album was released simultaneously with its publication. Available from Amazon
13. Snowball by Sue Hendra and Paul Linnet. £6.99 (paperback), Macmillan
The drama quite literally snowballs in this hilarious wintery offering from the comic duo behind Supertato and Cake, with surreal scenes, tongue-twisting text and lots of laughs.
It all starts with a little snowball who takes a tumble and before he knows it, he's picking up speed -along with twigs, a washing line, acrobats and even a zoo-full of animals. Will he ever be able to stop? Rush to the end of the book to find out! Available from Amazon
14. Dream Snow by Eric Carle. £6.99 (board book), Puffin
When a farmer falls asleep on Christmas Eve, he wakes to find his dream of snow has come true. But he needs to get his presents to his animals, so he pulls on his warmest clothes (which leave him looking suspiciously like Father Christmas…) and sets off through the white world to deliver them.
With flaps to explore, numbers to learn and Carle's signature collage illustrations, this book is made for curious little fingers and minds. The sparkly final page is especially lovely. Available from Amazon
Read about why we love Eric Carle's classic books
15. The Gruffalo's Child by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler. £6.99 (paperback), Macmillan
This follow-up to the bestselling tale is a clever twist on the original, with The Gruffalo's Child sneaking off one snowy night on the trail of the Big Bad Mouse.
She's dubious about the stories of a fearsome rodent who roams the deep dark wood but as she meets the Snake, Fox and Owl, her nerves begin to grow…
As before, the Mouse proves that size isn't everything as he uses his quick-thinking to evade a nasty end, while the rhyming text and artwork are top notch. Keep your eyes peeled for Stick Man too! Buy from Amazon
Julia Donaldson shares her favourite five children's books and authors
16. Robin's Winter Song by Suzanne Barton. £6.99 (paperback), Bloomsbury
This beautiful book tells the story of that most Christmassy of birds, the robin. The hardy little creature sees the leaves starting to fall and wonders why his friends are making preparations for something scary called winter.
But when it arrives and the countryside is coated with snow, he realises what a magical season it is. A touching and gentle story that features wonderful animal illustrations and gorgeous collage effects. Available from Amazon

Executive Summary OF Usa Today Pursuing The Network Strategy A Case Study Help
Executive Summary's of Usa Today Pursuing The Network Strategy A argumentative attitude
The fact that Executive Summary of Usa Today Pursuing The Network Strategy A had actually failed to develop interpersonal relationships at the work environment caused a number of other challenges during her function as a project supervisor and her argumentative attitude to show an assertive behavior was adding to the reality that the senior supervisors were seeing her as over-confident and conceited. While we could state that Executive Summary of Usa Today Pursuing The Network Strategy A was generally attempting to build a strong grip for herself in a function where she was not only inexperienced but also lacked self-confidence because of her strangeness with the other team members, she was depicting herself as over positive and doing not have the ability to participate in team effort. There is proof in the event that Executive Summary of Usa Today Pursuing The Network Strategy A had actually offered this sensation to others in the workplace too because her peers had actually suggested that they were scared of her intensity in managing arguments. This was probably the same feeling that was given to Dorr and Parker throughout her discussions which caused problems in the kind of a protective attitude from Parker.
We have actually currently looked at how Executive Summary's of Usa Today Pursuing The Network Strategy A tactical preparation and choice making was properly formulated according to the requirements of the project. This is exactly what Executive Summary of Usa Today Pursuing The Network Strategy A had to face where she put the company's interests above those of colleagues like parker but the truth stays that her tactical error was apparent in the minimal priority she had given to getting support from coworkers for starting the project.
Dan Stella, Executive Summary's of Usa Today Pursuing The Network Strategy A direct line manager had been after her case to develop relationships at work however Executive Summary had actually been reluctant to do so. It needs to be born in mind that relationship building is essential for building trust and a solid structure of trust is essential for an organization to be reliable. Although Executive Summary of Usa Today Pursuing The Network Strategy A was working towards causing a much required development in the work environment, it needs to be kept in mind that development can not grow in places where people hesitate to share or express their concepts and Executive Summary of Usa Today Pursuing The Network Strategy A had actually not worked at developing a relationship with her coworkers where she could get them to express their concepts or fears about the project. Without trust, change initiates such as the one Executive Summary of Usa Today Pursuing The Network Strategy A was targeting at where the organization was to end up being more responsive to market requirements was bound to experience resistance unless there was mutual trust amongst the team members. Given that Dorr had actually given Executive Summary the function of a supervisor in this effort, she was the one who must have started efforts towards developing trust and good understanding rather than merely utilizing realities to negate what others had actually put together in the past (Valerie, 2004).
Lack of Executive Summary of Usa Today Pursuing The Network Strategy A case study communication
Executive Summary's of Usa Today Pursuing The Network Strategy A absence of effort towards relationship building regardless of there being an obvious need for doing so can be seen in the reality that she herself recognized how Kane was making efforts in terms of interpersonal relationship building while she did not feel the requirement to talk to Todd Benson, her department's senior vice president despite the reality that she know he had been her long time supporter. She understood she had issues in dealing with Kane his obvious advances towards building a more detailed relationship with Todd were a signal for Executive Summary of Usa Today Pursuing The Network Strategy A to work towards developing a relationship with Todd at the same level. Usa Today Pursuing The Network Strategy A was relying exclusively on data while giving no importance to relationship structure even when it was clearly essential.
The communication space between Parker and Usa Today Pursuing The Network Strategy A has currently been gone over as one of the factors for her failure to take things forward in the project. The lack of communication in both circumstances resulted in additional confusion, misunderstandings and defensiveness from Usa Today Pursuing The Network Strategy A's side whereas she might have directly had a one on one talk with Parker or Kane to discover a common ground with them regarding their function in the project. Executive Summary's of Usa Today Pursuing The Network Strategy A lack of desire of bridge this interaction gap can be seen in other instances too such as in her hesitation to ask Dorr why his mindset had actually suddenly become offending with her even though she had discovered him to be rather understanding towards her in the past.

The Experiences of Practitioners Implementing the Open Dialogue Approach within the NHS in the UK
Ellis, Kirsty Louise (2018) The Experiences of Practitioners Implementing the Open Dialogue Approach within the NHS in the UK. Other thesis, University of Essex.
Implementing the Open Dialogue Approach.pdf
Background: Historically, researchers have tended to focus on biomedical explanations for Psychosis (Read, Bentall & Fosse, 2009). More recently, emphasis has been placed on the role of early experiences and relationships (e.g. Read & Gumley, 2008). This has been reflected in the type of interventions offered, including recommendations of family therapy (NICE, 2014). One such intervention which has received growing attention is the Open Dialogue approach (Seikkula et al., 2003), which aims to provide psychotherapeutic support to service users within their own personal support systems. Good outcomes have been demonstrated in Finland and several other countries, including the United Kingdom, are in the process of implementing Open Dialogue within services. Little is known, however, about the transferability of this approach to the National Health Service (NHS). This study aimed to fill this gap, using qualitative methodology to explore practitioner experiences. Method: A narrative approach was chosen. Interviews were completed with nine practitioners. Data were analysed across four levels, including the content of stories and the way in which stories were told, as well as how practitioners were positioned by others and positioned themselves within the context of the NHS. Results: The findings suggest that Open Dialogue had a positive impact on practitioners' work. The process of implementing Open Dialogue, however, is embedded within a complex organisational, social and political context in which discourses about mental health are medicalised. In this transition practitioners have had to negotiate a number of complex dynamics and positions, which were often confusing and conflicting. Discussion: The findings are discussed in relation to the existing literature. Overall, despite the difficulties encountered by practitioners in the transition to Open Dialogue, this work appears to be in a good position to influence change at multiple levels. This includes the organisational, social and political.

The Convento de San Antonio de Padua is a Franciscan convent located in Toledo, Castile-La Mancha, Spain. Dedicated to St Anthony of Padua, the institution was created in 1525 in the former palace of the advisor comunero Don Fernando de Ávalos, confiscated by order of Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor because its owner was a comunero. The entrance is Gothic-Mudéjar of the 15th Century.

The church was designed by Juan Bautista Monegro.
The chapter house and the choir, of the same period, conserves a floor of azulejos. Its main altar has an 18th-Century Baroque altarpiece. In the side chapels are located the sepulchers of its founders, the De la Fuente family.

Improvising Life: Tomeka Reid
Published on June 10, 2016 January 12, 2019 by Jillian Degroot
by Lakshmi Ramgopal,
Photos courtesy of tomekareid.net
Inspiration can catch experimental cellist Tomeka Reid at any moment. So much so, in fact, that she forgot our Skype interview. After logging in and waiting for ten minutes, I texted her. A flustered apology and explanation followed: "Got inspired to put my keyboard together this morning!!!" Her text included a photo of the culprit.
Reid's dedication to her work has been paying off. Originally from the D.C. area and currently based in Chicago, the 38-year-old has been playing cello since she was a child. She routinely performs around the world, and the previous year marked the debut release of her first self-led group. From the plaintive wails of "The Lone Wait" to the sour skitters of "Woodlawn" to the jubilant tones of "17 West," The Tomeka Reid Quartet (Thirsty Ear) shows her stretching her affective range further than ever before.
Reid can't remember a time when she wasn't drawn to music, so picking up the cello felt natural. Music also mitigated the loneliness she experienced as a child. "I was like oh, I get to play in orchestra, I get to make music with other instruments, with other kids. I grew up very much by myself, and I think I liked the idea of doing things with other people."
Her preference for creative collaboration eventually birthed the Tomeka Reid Quartet, which includes Mary Halvorson on guitar, Tomas Fujiwara on drums and Jason Roebke on bass. Though her cello is front and center, Reid is hesitant to claim the release as entirely her own. "Personality-wise, I'm the ultimate team player. I think it's to a flaw. Sometimes I think I need to go in the other direction. I think I can be too accommodating in lots of areas in my life. But I've never felt it's got to be the Tomeka Reid Show."
Reid speaks as if we've known each other forever, and her sentences often end in laughs. Her laidback attitude reflects a confidence she attributes to the black women who have mentored her musically and led some of the bands she's played with. Seeing black women in leadership roles has motivated her to seek similar roles for herself. It has also shaped how she, as a black woman, views her impact in the worlds of jazz and experimental music. "You just never know how you might touch another black woman. If you don't see yourself in different positions, you don't think you can do that. If you see that there's black dentists, you're like, 'Oh yeah! I could be a black dentist.' I think it's important that our voices are heard, that we say what we have to say. I think everyone has a voice to share and I think often times, certain stories don't get shared."
Reid points to a wider pattern of underrepresentation in her world: the absence of women of all backgrounds. Given that youth orchestras are full of girls, she finds it particularly unsettling. The problem, she muses, is that being a professional musician requires endurance. Unlike male colleagues, female artists make sacrifices for their families that can cost them their careers. As a result, men predominate bands and lineups. She leans toward the screen and her tone flattens. "If you wanna do some free jazz with me on this, feel free." We share a cackle.
These concerns have propelled Reid to overcome moments of self doubt over the years. They have also prompted her to learn about jazz in parts of the world that the scene tends to ignore, such as Mexico. "What about our brothers just south of us? I'm trying to find out about free jazz in Mexico City and South America. How are they approaching jazz or free jazz, how are they bringing their cultural sensibilities into the music?"
Reid's curiosity about jazz around the world and her opposition to its deep rooted Eurocentricity reflect her adventurous approach to her own music. While she enjoys performing written music in structured contexts like symphonies, improvisation is her real love. Its unpredictability spurs her continuous search for what she wants to do with the cello. It also forces her to develop an exquisite presence of mind. "It definitely pushes you out of your comfort zone, it forces you to become a better listener." Above all, improvisation is a way to practice dealing with the world outside of music. "Improvisation makes me a better person. It lends itself to life. Shit happens. You don't know what's coming next."

Epigenetic Harm and the Irish Army Air Corps
Epigenetics is the study of heritable phenotype changes that do not involve alterations in the DNA sequence. The Greek prefix epi- (ἐπι- "over, outside of, around") in epigenetics implies features that are "on top of" or "in addition to" the traditional genetic basis for inheritance. Epigenetics most often denotes changes that affect gene activity and expression, but can also be used to describe any heritable phenotypic change. Such effects on cellular and physiological phenotypic traits may result from external or environmental factors, or be part of normal developmental program. The standard definition of epigenetics requires these alterations to be heritable, either in the progeny of cells or of organisms.
The term also refers to the changes themselves: functionally relevant changes to the genome that do not involve a change in the nucleotide sequence. Examples of mechanisms that produce such changes are DNA methylation and histone modification, each of which alters how genes are expressed without altering the underlying DNA sequence. Gene expression can be controlled through the action of repressor proteins that attach to silencer regions of the DNA.
These epigenetic changes may last through cell divisions for the duration of the cell's life, and may also last for multiple generations even though they do not involve changes in the underlying DNA sequence of the organism; instead, non-genetic factors cause the organism's genes to behave (or "express themselves") differently.

Mental Health and the Irish Air Corp illness cluster
A new report by Mental Health Reform, the national coalition on mental health in Ireland, has found strong public support for increased State investment in mental health services.
A survey carried out by the coalition found that 84% of respondents thought that the health service places too little focus on mental health.
The study found that the public are willing to invest more in mental healthcare when compared to other related healthcare programmes.
Mental Health Reform says staffing in mental health services is lower now than it was in 2008 and it is calling on the Government to boost investment in the area.
Note the graph below only includes personnel for whom we have death certificates for. We are in the process of verifying many more deaths, most of which relate to the earlier decades.
Prevention is better than cure.
If the government bother to medically & scientifically investigate the mental health illness cluster at the #IrishAirCorps where at least 13 serving & former personnel have killed themselves since 1980 they might learn something about environmental causes & triggers of mental health problems.
We suspect hydrocarbon fuels, engine exhausts, isocyanates, VOCs etc all have a part to play and the civilian population get exposed to these too but usually at lower levels.
So far the state have only sent in barristers. Think about it 65 men dead at an average age of 49 years and all the state can mobilise is barristers.
In the absence of military or government statistics on untimely deaths in the Irish Air Corps we created our own. We are happy to have these tested or even proven wrong by better statistics gathered by the state in a comprehensive, open and transparent manner. #WeAreNotStatisticians

Dáil Éireann Debates 07/02/18 – Leaders Questions on Irish Air Corps Toxic Chemical Scandal
Seven cases are being taken against the State by current and former serving members of the Air Corps. They believe that they have been forced to take this action by the State's failure to protect them from their exposure to toxic chemicals during their service, which led to serious, chronic and fatal illnesses, including cancer. While those cases will ultimately be dealt with by the courts, that does not prevent the State from taking action. As early as the 1990s, numerous State-commissioned reports highlighted health and safety concerns about chemical exposure at Casement Aerodrome in Baldonnel, but no action was taken at the time. In fact, these reports mysteriously disappeared or were ordered to be shredded. Even after litigation commenced in 2013, basic health and safety precautions were not implemented at Baldonnel. It appears it was only after the Health and Safety Authority conducted an inspection in 2016 that personnel were provided with basic precautions like personal protection equipment such as gloves and overalls.
Hundreds, if not thousands, of personnel who have passed through Baldonnel may be suffering from chronic and even fatal illnesses as a result of exposure to toxic chemicals during their service. There is also a possibility that family members have been affected, as evidence suggests that there is a higher rate of a variety of health conditions among spouses and children, including stillbirths and miscarriages. The Government has taken no action to find out the extent of this scandal or to ascertain how many people might be suffering as a result of it. Instead, it is fighting tooth and nail through the courts to force sick people to take gruelling journeys in search of justice. By comparison, the Australian Government has set up a board of inquiry to conduct a thorough investigation into similar matters. It commissioned a survey of health outcomes for the relevant personnel and their families and put in place a health care system for those who were affected.
As the Taoiseach knows, a protected disclosure from one of the whistleblowers was recently released publicly. It makes for harrowing reading. It lists 56 deaths of former serving Air Corps personnel at an average age of 48. All of the cases listed relate specifically to people who died before they reached the age of 66. The disclosure is based on research done by the whistleblower in the absence of any State-funded investigation into these matters, but it is by no means exhaustive. I believe another number of deaths have been identified since it was published. It is clear that successive Governments have failed in their duty of care to the men and women who served in the Air Corps. This Government has an opportunity to do the right thing. We do not want to be here in ten years' time with a higher death toll, having failed to address this scandal. Has the Taoiseach read the disclosure? Has he responded to the whistleblower in question? Does he accept that the time has come to order a full inquiry into these matters?
Leo Varadkar, Taoiseach & Minister for Defence (Dublin West, Fine Gael)
As the Deputy said, a number of cases are currently before the courts. While I have absolutely no doubt that the serious ill-health suffered by some former members of the Air Corps is real, it has not been proven whether this array of illnesses could be caused by chemical exposure. Obviously, these cases will be heard in the courts, which will hear all the evidence and, on that basis, make a determination on the claim or allegation that all of these illnesses were caused by chemical exposure. I think that is the right way for this to proceed. The health and well-being of men and women of the Air Corps are, of course, matters of huge concern and interest for the Government.
The Minister of State has ensured that allegations relating to exposure to chemical and toxic substances while working in Baldonnell were independently reviewed. Before considering any further steps, the Minister of State has asked those who made the disclosures for their views. He is examining options for next steps in the process in light of the views he has received from those who made the allegations in the context of ongoing litigation.
The independent report considers the Defence Forces' health and safety regime and its current policy and application. In respect of historic matters, as litigation had commenced before protected disclosures were made, the report states that the courts are now the most appropriate forum for such matters to be assessed and are the best place to assess all the evidence. Although the report finds that the Defence Forces' regime appears to be capable of meeting the statutory requirements, it makes a number of observations, including in respect of documentation, health surveillance and exposure monitoring. It also observes that the Health and Safety Authority is the appropriate statutory body to deal with such allegations.
Separately, and in parallel to this independent review, following an inspection in 2016, the Air Corps has continued to work with the Health and Safety Authority to improve its health and safety regime. It should be noted that there is a significant overlap between the recommendations of the HSA and those of the independent reviewer. The military authorities have informed the Minister of State that the HSA has formally noted the high level of co-operation received from the Air Corps and the considerable progress made to date by the Defence Forces towards the implementation of safety management systems for the control of hazardous substances.
There is no denying that things are better in the Air Corps. However, what the Taoiseach has just read out does not in any way address the legacy of bad management and a bad health and safety record there. I do not know if the Taoiseach remembers that he is also Minister for Defence. He has a direct responsibility to look into these matters. He is also a medical doctor and will understand the list of illnesses that has been provided to his Minister of State, which includes very serious and often fatal conditions, as the other disclosure indicated. We do not know how many people have been exposed in an unprotected way because nobody has carried out a survey. The Australians did not wait for the courts to adjudicate fully, they acted immediately.
There is a list of chemicals, albeit a partial one, which was given to Deputy Lisa Chambers. How many of the people involved have been exposed? As the Taoiseach is aware, if a doctor does not know what people have been exposed to, he cannot help, diagnose, prescribe or direct medical procedures. This is about saving lives. Will the Taoiseach act now not in respect of the specific cases but on the legacy of all of those who are suffering in the general public?
The Deputy is absolutely correct; I am Minister for Defence. The Government has delegated responsibility for defence matters to the Minister of State, Deputy Kehoe, whom I fully trust to deal with this issue appropriately.
I am a medical doctor and have seen the list of illnesses that these former members of the Air Corps and their families have suffered. It is a very long and extensive list of illnesses, including the most common illnesses which most people may encounter, namely, cancer, cardiovascular disease, suicide and miscarriages by their partners. As a medical doctor, it is not possible for me to say if exposure to chemicals caused all or any of these illnesses because they are commonplace in the community at large. If it was one specific illness resulting from a known chemical that caused such an illness, that would be one thing. These are not the allegations that are being made, however. There is litigation before the courts, which are best placed to assess the evidence and see whether the allegations are supported by it.
We will follow up the above Dáil debate with a critique of the misleading statements by the Taoiseach, Dr. Leo Varadkar in due course.

Statistics for Dr. Leo Varadkar showing untimely deaths of Irish Air Corps personnel
A graph showing untimely deaths of men who served in the Irish Air Corps. We are counting those that died since 1980 (arbitrary) and who died on or before age 66 (state pension age).
On Wednesday the 7th of February 2018 in Dáil Éireann, Taoiseach, Dr. Leo Varadkar, said the place to investigate Irish Air Corps related deaths & illnesses was the Irish courts system and also bizarrely questioned why thousands of exposed personnel, exposed to hundreds of different toxic chemicals didn't all get the same cancer?
Note the graph below only includes personnel for whom we have death certificates for. We are in the process of verifying approximately 30 more deaths, many of which relate to the earlier decades.

Leo Varadkar urged to act on Air Corps chemical exposure 'legacy'
Taoiseach Leo Varadkar has said he believes the courts should decide whether former Air Corps staff are suffering chronic illnesses due to chemical exposure.
Mr Varadkar made the comments yesterday in the Dáil where Sinn Féin Defence Spokesperson Aengus O'Snodaigh repeated calls for a health study of Air Corps members, similar to an analysis of Australian Air Force staff, which found technicians who worked with carcinogenic chemicals were at greater risk of illness.
Last year, the Irish Examiner revealed the State is facing a number of claims from former staff, and that whistleblowers had raised concerns about the safety of workers using chemicals at Casement Aerodrome, Baldonnel.
"While I have absolutely no doubt that the serious ill-health suffered by some former members of the Air Corps is real, it has not been proven whether this array of illnesses could be caused by chemical exposure," Mr Varadkar said.
"There is litigation in the courts, which are the best place to assess the evidence and see whether the allegations are supported by that evidence," he said.
Mr O'Snodaigh said a survey is needed as the implications of widespread staff exposure to the chemicals used goes beyond the seven cases currently against the State. "We do not want to be here in 10 years' time with a higher death toll, having failed to address this scandal,"he said.

Q: Does $f(X)$ with $X=[x_1, x_2]$ mean $X$ appear as a whole in the definition of $f$? Let $f$ be a mapping with $f(X)$ and $X=[x_1, x_2] \in \mathbb R^2$.
So does $f(X) = g(x_1, x_2)$ make sense for any mapping $g$ with the same range as $f$?
Must $X$ be able to appear as a whole in the representation of $f(X)$? For example, in $f(X) = x_1 + x_2 = X^T [1,1]^T$, $X$ can be represented as a whole. Another example, in $f(X) = x_1 \times x_2$, $X$ seems not be able to be represented as a whole.
If $f(X)$ doesn't require $X$ to be able appear as a whole, how can we wrote  a notation that requires $X$ to appear as a whole in $f(X)$?
Thanks in advance!

A:
Does $f(X) = g(x_1,x_2)$ make sense for any mapping $g$ with the same range as $f$?

Yes, it does. Read on for an explanation why.

Must $X$ be able to appear as a whole in the representation of $f(X)$?

Again, yes, it does. Fortunately, this is always possible. Namely, the defining property of $X = [x_1, x_2]$, that justifies calling it a "tuple" to begin with, is that $x_1$ and $x_2$ together uniquely determine $X$, and vice versa, that $X$ uniquely fixes $x_1$ and $x_2$.
Let us immediately pass to the general case of an $n$-tuple $X \in S^d$ for some set $S$.
Usually, when we want to use the coordinates of $X$, we introduce the so-called projection functions (often simply called projections):
$$p_i: S^d \to S: p_i (X) = x_i$$
where $x_i$ is in the $i$th position of the tuple $X$.
Using these $p_i$, we can e.g. rewrite $g(x_1, x_2)$ as:
$$g(x_1, x_2) = g(p_1 (X), p_2 (X))$$
in which $X$ only occurs "as a whole".
Now, once we have been comforted ourselves with the use of the $p_i$, it is very convenient to start writing $x_i$ instead of $p_i (X)$ when we define functions on tuples. In the end, this is just a small abuse of notation that greatly simplifies formulas, but does not compromise the full rigour in terms of the $p_i$ lying underneath.

Two candidates bucking the incumbents-rule rule
Political competition is a rare phenomenon in Mass.
By Bruce Mohl	The Codcast	 Aug 13, 2018 Civic Journal
WHEN IT COMES to the Massachusetts Legislature, voters won't have a lot of choice this fall, either during the primary on September 4 or the general election in November.
Seventy-eight percent of the 200 candidates running for the House and Senate will face no opposition in the primary. Most of that group (55 percent) will face no opposition in the general election, either, meaning they're as good as elected already. The other 23 percent will have an opponent on Election Day, but the challengers in almost every case will face long odds in taking on an incumbent.
Incumbency, with the advantages it brings in fundraising, media exposure, and institutional support, is a powerful force in Massachusetts politics. Where there are incumbents, there tend to be fewer, or no, challengers.
By my count, there are 25 races – 22 in the House and three in the Senate – where no incumbent is running. These races tend to attract a lot of interest from candidates because they feel they have a chance to win. For example, Sen. Eileen Donoghue of Lowell resigned her post in April to become the city manager of Lowell. Five Democrats and one Republican are vying to replace her.
What's unusual is for a candidate of the same party not to wait for an opening and take on an incumbent in a primary fight. Only 20 incumbents – 17 in the House and three in the Senate – are facing challengers in the primary this year. In all but four of the races, the winner of the primary will win the seat because no one from the other party is vying for the position.
In today's Codcast, we talk to two Democrats challenging incumbents from their own party – Samantha (Sam) Hammar of Melrose, who is taking on Sen. Jason Lewis of Winchester, and Ted Steinberg of Needham, who is running against Rep. Denise Garlick of Needham.
Both Hammar and Steinberg are frustrated. Both were disgusted with the Legislature's end-of-session hijinks, where so many bills that they hoped would become law failed to make it through the process. Hammar said Lewis is "fine" as a legislator. Indeed, she voted for him in the last election. What set her on her current course, she said, was his lack of empathy when she went to talk to him about the high cost of child care and preschool.
Steinberg, who is 24, said he is concerned about the concentration of power in the hands of a few in the Legislature. He said he respects Garlick for her years of service, but worries that she has become part of the problem as a member of House Speaker Robert DeLeo's leadership team. "This is supposed to be the people's House, not the speaker's House," he said.
Both Steinberg and Hammar say the power of incumbency is real. Hammar said she has worked inside state government and at Boston City Hall, and has discovered that many of her old friends have no interest in her candidacy. Many of the state's political interest groups have endorsed the incumbent without even seeking out her views on the issues.
"I have a little bit of a scarlet letter on my chest, but I wear that proudly," she said.
No candidates have reported any campaign expenditures yet for 2018, but it's a safe bet that Hammar and Steinberg are being outspent. Lewis served in the House from 2009 to 2014, when he won election to the Senate, replacing Katherine Clark, who left to run for Congress. Lewis started this year with $109,149 in his campaign account and spent $29,447 during the 2016 election, when he faced a challenger only in the general election.
Garlick was elected to the House in 2011. She started the year with $50,014 in her campaign account and spent $44,116 in the 2016 election, when she faced no opposition in both the primary and general election.
What Steinberg lacks in resources he said he intends to make up with energy. Hammar says much the same. Both say they are not deterred by the long odds.
"Loyalty perpetuates the status quo," Hammar said. "If you stay loyal to the people in power, nothing will ever change."

Spinetta Jade fue una banda de jazz rock argentina liderada por Luis Alberto Spinetta durante la parte final de su llamado "proyecto jazzero". Tuvo diversas formaciones, en todas las cuales estuvieron el propio Spinetta y Pomo Lorenzo en batería. En uno de los teclados se sucedieron Juan del Barrio, Leo Sujatovich y el Mono Fontana. En el otro teclado se sucedieron Lito Vitale y Diego Rapoport, hasta que la banda dejó de tener dos teclados. En el bajo se sucedieron Pedro Aznar, Beto Satragni, Frank Ojstersek, César Franov y Paul Dourge. En la última formación se suma también Lito Epumer en guitarra.

Spinetta Jade actuó durante 1980 y 1981 paralelamente a Almendra, la banda inicial de Spinetta, cuando se produjo su reencuentro en esos años.

Grabó cuatro álbumes. El tercero de ellos, Bajo Belgrano ha sido incluido por la revista Rolling Stone, en la lista de los 100 mejores álbumes de rock argentino, en el número 69. Entre las canciones de la banda, dos han sido consideradas entre las 100 mejores de la historia del rock argentino, "Maribel se durmió" (número 79 para la revista Rolling Stone y MTV) y "Resumen porteño"(número 70 en la encuesta del sitio Rock.com.ar).

Historia

Antecedentes: banda Spinetta

En 1977, posterior a la disolución de Invisible, Luis Alberto Spinetta formó una banda con Diego Rapoport, Osvaldo López y Machi Rufino y grabaron el álbum A 18' del sol, con un estilo musical más enfocado a la fusión jazz. Aquí comienza la relación musical de Spinetta cada vez más frecuente con músicos de jazz. A fines de ese mismo año, se hace rodear de una alineación más sólida conformada por Ricardo Sanz en bajo, Luis Ceravolo en batería, Eduardo Zvetelman en los teclados y por primera vez instrumentos de viento a cargo de Bernardo Baraj y Gustavo Moretto. Alineación recordada principalmente por haber dado una serie de recitales en abril de 1978 presentando un repertorio conformado por temas que quedaron inéditos: Tríptico del eterno verdor, Covadonga, Las alas del grillo, Estrella gris, El Turquito, Bahiana split y Los espacios amados. Esta última, le daría nombre al álbum truncado que incluiría dicho repertorio.

A principios de 1979, la banda ya había sufrido otra modificación y habían adoptado el nombre de Experiencia Demente. Con Gustavo Bazterrica, Luis Cerávolo en batería y Rinaldo Rafanelli, presentaron canciones como Pájaros de la fe, El sueño de Chita y un antecedente de Viento celeste. Pero dicho proyecto sería abortado tan pronto y Spinetta viaja a Estados Unidos a grabar Only love can sustain, cuyos interludios titulados "Jade", darían a Spinetta la idea para el nombre de su próxima banda, al volver a la Argentina.

Aparece Spinetta Jade

La primera formación de Spinetta Jade estuvo integrada por el propio Spinetta (guitarra y voz), Juan del Barrio (teclados) -propuesto por Pomo, que venía de M.I.A. y Sr. Zutano-, Lito Vitale (teclados) -que también venía de M.I.A.-, Pedro Aznar (bajo) -que estaba en Seru Giran- y Pomo Lorenzo (batería) -que venía de Sr. Zutano y había integrado Invisible y con Spinetta arma inicialmente la banda.

La banda traía la novedad de tocar con dos teclados, algo inusual en el medio musical argentino y representaba una evolución en el sonido jazz rock que venía trabajando Spinetta desde 1976, con el fin de imprimirle un giro hacia la canción y el pop.

Al comienzo de Spinetta Jade, Spinetta estaba también ocupado con el regreso de Almendra, con la que estaba preparando el álbum El valle interior, y era consciente que se trataba aún de una formación provisoria. Por esa razón Aznar y Vitale integraron la formación inicial como músicos invitados para el debut, el 3 de mayo de 1980, en el Estadio Obras Sanitarias.

Un mes después, Lito Vitale se retiró de la banda y en su lugar ingresó Diego Rapoport, quien desempeñó un papel de gran importancia hasta 1982, al punto que Spinetta ha dicho que "la célula madre del proyecto fue Spinetta-Rapoport". Con esta nueva formación se presentan en el teatro Ópera el 3 de junio de 1980. Por último Beto Satragni ingresó en lugar de Pedro Aznar, así anticiparon su primer álbum que saldría en el mes de octubre.

Superconcierto: Serú Girán y Spinetta Jade
En septiembre regresaron al Estadio Obras Sanitarias, que empezaría a ser llamado "la catedral del rock", para realizar un concierto junto a Serú Girán, el supergrupo integrado por Charly García, Pedro Aznar, David Lebón y Oscar Moro. Charly García y Spinetta eran por entonces los dos máximos exponentes del "rock nacional" argentino, y solían ser presentados como dos figuras enfrentadas. El recital conjunto fue considerado como «el evento musical del año». Era un hecho histórico que García y Spinetta, con dos grupos de semejante magnitud, estuvieran simultáneamente en el escenario. Pocos meses antes se había publicado el primer número de la revista Hurra con un título de tapa que decía: "Charly Garcia vs. Louis Al Spinetta ¿El rock es un partido de fútbol?".

El show comenzó con Spinetta cantando el tema de Sui Generis, Cuando ya me empiece a quedar solo. Luego, de la oscuridad, surgió Charly García acompañando con el piano y coros el tema Qué ves el cielo. Bajo un clima enfervorizado, Lebón interpretó "Música del alma". A continuación subieron Pedro Aznar y Oscar Moro, completando el elenco de Serú Giran, que desarrolló una actuación contundente y fue largamente ovacionado por la gente.

Luego fue el turno de Spinetta, Pomo, Satragni y Rapoport y Del Barrio. La actuación de Spinetta Jade fue muy aplaudida, pese a su difícil estilo. Fue notorio el esfuerzo de Spinetta por lograr mayor simpleza en su música, para que el público pudiera entender su mensaje.

El recital cerró con los dos grupos sobre el escenario interpretando Cristálida -un clásico de Pescado Rabioso al que perteneció Lebón- y El mendigo en el andén. El bis final correspondió a Despiértate nena, un tema de Spinetta que en Pescado Rabioso cantaba David Lebón. Las palabras finales fueron de Spinetta:

Alma de diamante

Alma de diamante fue el primer álbum de Spinetta Jade. Fue grabado en septiembre de 1980 y lanzado al mes siguiente. La banda formó con Spinetta (guitarra y voz), Pomo Lorenzo (batería), Juan del Barrio (teclados), Diego Rapoport (teclados) y Beto Satragni (bajo).

El álbum fue compuesto bajo la inspiración poética de la obra del antropólogo Carlos Castaneda, relacionada con el chamanismo y tiene dos canciones, "Dale gracias" («recuerda que un guerrero no detiene jamás su marcha») y Con la sombra de tu aliado (el aliado) («en el desierto ves la verdad»), que se refieren a la obra del autor de Las enseñanzas de Don Juan. El álbum incluye también el tema Alma de diamante, una de las canciones más famosas de la banda y del propio cancionero spinetteano y La diosa salvaje, nombre que le pondría años después, al estudio de grabación que instalaría en su casa, luego de enfrentarse a las grandes compañías discográficas. Spinetta eligió dos canciones de este álbum para su mega recital Spinetta y las Bandas Eternas de 2009: Alma de diamante y Sombras en los álamos.

Los niños que escriben en el cielo

El creciente éxito de la banda se vio frenado momentáneamente por el segundo retorno de Almendra y la posterior gira nacional que culminó en el Festival de La Falda, el 15 de febrero de 1981.

Pero a mitad de ese año grabaron la segunda placa, Los niños que escriben en el cielo (1981). La banda había cambiado en la formación y el sonido: entra Leo Sujatovich en teclados en reemplazo de Juan del Barrio y Frank Ojstersek en el bajo en lugar de Beto Satragni, a la vez que el sonido se orienta más hacia el pop, aunque continúan las atmósferas cuidadas y el uso de sintetizadores.

El álbum ya había sido anticipado en el festival Prima Rock, el 21 de septiembre de 1981 en Ezeiza, donde la banda tocó algunos temas de su futuro disco (El hombre dirigente, Contra todos los males de este mundo, Nunca me oíste en tiempo y Umbral) y fue oficialmente presentado el 5 de diciembre de 1981 en el Estadio Obras Sanitarias.

Cuenta con diez temas, todas canciones, contra siete temas del álbum anterior. "La temática es más clara y los temas más frescos", decía Rapoport en aquel momento, en tanto que Spinetta señalaba que "la intención era hacer un disco más rápido" y que por eso había cuatro temas up-tempo contra solo dos en Alma de diamante. Entre los temas se destacan Sexo, influido por la perspectiva del poder de Castaneda, No te busques ya en el umbral y Nunca me oiste en tiempo.

Bajo Belgrano

A partir de 1982 las presentaciones de esta banda se volvieron más esporádicas debido al trabajo solista de Spinetta, que editó Kamikaze ese mismo año.

En noviembre de 1982 Spinetta Jade se presenta en el Festival Buenos Aires Rock IV en el Estadio Obras Sanitarias, con nueva formación: César Franov, con 17 años, había reemplazado a Frank Ojstersek, a la vez que Diego Rapoport deja la banda. El grupo de ese modo dejó los dos teclados que lo habían caracterizado desde su creación y pasó a ser un cuarteto: Spinetta (guitarra y voz), Leo Sujatovich (teclados), Pomo Lorenzo (batería) y César Franov (bajo).

En diciembre de 1983, Spinetta realiza un recital en el Teatro Coliseo, para presentar simultáneamente dos álbumes, Mondo di cromo, su sexto trabajo solista, y Bajo Belgrano, el tercer álbum de Spinetta Jade. Spinetta, que se quedó sin voz por el esfuerzo, dice que fue uno de los peores recitales de su vida.

Madre en años luz

A finales de 1984, Spinetta Jade lanzó su cuarta placa: Madre en años luz. Un disco diferente a lo hecho antes por el grupo. Esta vez, Pomo Lorenzo casi no tiene participación en el disco, ya que Spinetta decide reemplazar su batería por máquinas de ritmo y los temas se tornan un poco más al synth pop. Spinetta ahora estaría acompañado por Juan Carlos "Mono" Fontana (teclados) ―que después lo acompañaría casi 10 años en su carrera solista―, Lito Epumer (guitarra), y los ya «antiguos» del grupo, César Franov (bajo) y Pomo (batería). El título del álbum es un homenaje a Madre Atómica, una banda de los años '70 que integraron Fontana, Epumer y Pedro Aznar.

En el disco se destacan temas como "Camafeo" (usado posteriormente como jingle de la radio Rock & Pop), "Entonces es como dar amor", "Ludmila" y "Diganlé". El material fue tocado en vivo por primera vez en los conciertos organizados por la Municipalidad de Buenos Aires en las Barrancas de Belgrano, en el verano de 1985, con Pedro Aznar como invitado y ante 20.000 personas. La presentación oficial de este trabajo discográfico se realizó en el Luna Park, en mayo de ese año sumando al nuevo y último integrante de la banda: Paul Dourge en bajo y minimoog. Paul Dourge, también exintegrante de Madre Atómica y del cuarteto de Lito Epumer reemplazó a César Franov. Durante ese año se presentaron en distintos lugares del país, como el Estadio Chico de Quilmes, en Córdoba y en el Club Sportivo América de Rosario. Existe una grabación pirata de aquel concierto en el Sportivo de Rosario con lo que fuera la última formación de Jade.

Spider-Man: Into First Place
Posted on December 17, 2018 by Paul Asay
There are those who say that we live in an infinite number of universes. For some scientists who reject the idea of a Creator, it helps explain the outrageously outlandish improbability that life exists at all; and many a science-fiction and comic book writer has leveraged the theory to create wildly creative twists on well-worn stories.
I can't speak for how Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse performed in any other universe. But in this one, the animated flick performed just dandy.
The latest Spider-Man movie, which pulls a variety of spider-people (and a spider-pig) from various parallel universes, caught an estimated $35.4 million in its neato-keano web and swung all the way to first place. That's the biggest animated December opening ever, by the way, and it officially makes it the second-most popular movie featuring a Marvel Spider-being this year (behind Avengers: Infinity War, of course).
Nothing rivaled Spidey's popularity this weekend, but The Mule proved there's still a little kick in 88-year-old Clint Eastwood's step. His bleak, problematic drama sauntered into second with $17.2 million, which should allow Eastwood to live in luxury should he ever retire to the Hollywood Geriatric Legend Nursing Home. Y'know, maybe when he turns 110.
Speaking of long-in-the-tooth entertainers, Dr. Seuss' The Grinch has now been gallivanting about the box-office's top five slots for six straight weeks: In a world that prizes the new and shiny over the old and grizzled, The Grinch almost qualifies for carbon dating. But 'tis the season for this Christmas-themed flick, and it earned another $11.6 million to finish third. The Grinch has now pocketed $239.3 million domestically. He'll be able to buy a mighty fine roast beast with that haul.
After spending the last three weeks at No. 1, Ralph Breaks the Internet tumbled all the way down to four with $9.6 million. That means that there were three animated movies in the top five. I guess you could say that audiences were (ahem) drawn to them.
Ha ha! I crack myself up.
I needed to serve up a bad pun before talking about the fifth-place movie. Mortal Engines, which features massive, moving metropoli that devour other, smaller metropoli, got stuck in the mud as only a city on caterpillar tracks can. The movie, which cost an estimated $100 million to make), took in a dismal $7.5 million in its opening week. This flick looks very mortal indeed.
One final note: Once Upon a Deadpool, the PG-13 cut of Deadpool 2, collected $2.6 million over the weekend to finish 11th, bringing its total to $3.9 million (since it opened on Tuesday). Officially, all those earnings are being shoveled into the original Deadpool 2′s coffers, which means that Deadpool 2′s gross gross has climbed to $318.5 million.

Glad Spider-Verse and Deadpool are succeeding, they both deserve it.
I can't comment on The Mule as I haven't gotten to see it yet.
It's a shame Illumination's horrîbly màngled afront to the Grinch has made so much money. I love the book, TV special, and Jim Carrey movie, and I can honestly say this goofy, lîfeless, cash grab remake is one of the wôrst movies I've seen all year. But this just confirms what I've been saying for so long: kids movies don't even have to try hard to be worthwhile, because kids, bless their hearts, are naîve to how loüsy some of these movies are, and will drag their parents to go see them regardless. Thankfully once in a while a great kids movie comes out that saves us adults of losing our minds where that genre is concerned. Other than the 'femînist' agènda crāp I felt like Wreck-It Ralph 2 was really solid, so there's that...
I also managed to see The Star last night, which I know was highly recommended on here, and while I appreciate the fact that it was an animated tale about Mary and Joseph bringing Jesus into the world, the whole thing felt rather silly and way too slapsticky for me. The only animal I really liked, and who was the least annoying out of everyone, was Bo the donkey. Everyone else just got on my nerves after awhile, and the evil villain guy with the weird helmet on his head certainly didn't help anything. I really wanted to like The Star, but sadly the inclusion of talking animals to the mix just ended up making it worse than it needed to be.
To think that the same guys who made The Star and The Emoji movie (among other cinematic "masterpieces") also did Into The Spider-Verse...
What a world we live in...

I actually thought the Emoji Movie was a lot better than I thought it was going to be except for Patrick Stewart playing poop, but The Star really felt like a let-down to me. I guess if I wanna see a quality Christmas special about Mary and Joseph I need to go watch Nestor again on tv, and yes I know 10 or so years ago The Nativity Story was released, but frankly that movie put me to sleep the one time I tried to watch it.
I'm planning on seeing Mary Poppins Returns on Christmas Eve with my mom and oldest sister and really hope I like it. I've always loved the original, so I'm really hoping the sequel 50 years later is as good if not better.
And by the way I just finished checking out and reading Bart Millard's I Can Only Imagine memoir from my local library and definitely loved it more than I ever did the movie. The film was nothing special, sort of like a more Christian version of Walk the Line, but definitely not as interesting or good I might add, but the book makes you care so much more about Bart throughout, goes into greater detail about what happened to his dad once he found Christ, and even told stuff about his brother and best friend Kent who the movie never even mentions. All in all I would definitely recommend the book I Can Only Imagine, but not the movie.
Unfortunately, I was not one of the contributors to Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse's Number One spot. Hopefully, I'll get to see it before too long...
Posted By A-Non-Mouse
Same here. My friends and I are all super hyped for the movie and are planing on seeing it after the Christmas rush is done and we all have more time.
I'm gonna either see it with my family Christmas week or with some friends sometime after Christmas week. I'm really looking forward to seeing it! I'm a big Marvel fan and it looks awesome.

Yeah...I'm gonna mention it to my dad and brothers. I think they might like it!

I'm still hoping they'll make another Unfortunate Events film with JIm Carrey in it since the first one is one of my favorites.

Pronoun prescription and co-workers' rights
We earlier this year noted the New York City Human Rights Commission guidance directing that businesses may be fined if they do not use customers' desired pronouns in relation to questions of gender, including preferred usages such as "ze" and "hir." Now Eugene Volokh, who wrote about the earlier story, points out a recent Oregon settlement in which pronoun issues (the employee prefers to be called "they") appeared to play an important part:
The school district agreed to settle the claim for $60,000 "as compensation for actual damages, emotional distress and attorney fees," and with the district promising to "develop official guidance documents for administrators/staff that address working with transgender staff"; the documents, to be developed together with "TransActive and the District equity team," will address, among other things, "pronoun usage." "[V]iolations of the guidance will be grounds for discipline."
But it is not at all clear, as Volokh notes, that it is respectful of co-workers' rights to require them on pain of official discipline to employ "highly conspicuous, nonstandard usage." Should instances of not doing so be defined as "harassment" or "discrimination," they can bring with them serious legal consequences. Public employers such as school districts do have some legitimate managerial interests which can call for, e.g., standardizing forms of address in their workplace. On the other hand, novel pronoun coinages relating to gender are often praised as a way "to convey an idea about language and how language should be" — put more sharply, to convey particular ideological stances about issues of gender identity. We already know that under current interpretations of First Amendment law, government cannot require ordinary non-political employees on pain of dismissal to affirm propositions such as "Live Free Or Die" or the Pledge of Allegiance. A similar principle might extend — or? — to rules exacting affirmative ideological avowals of other sorts. More: Hans Bader, CEI.

It is a grade school. Standard usage of commonplace words, such as they, should be part of the curriculum. Indeed, as long as the federal testing standards use the common definition of 'they' in high stakes student testing, then this is essentially settled.
This teacher should not be insisting upon non-standard usage merely to bolster a fragile ego.

Paradise Mauritius is polluted by more than 1,000 tons of fuel leakage, thousands of volunteers spontaneously clean up oil
Paradise Mauritius is polluted by more than 1,000 tons of fuel leaks, thousands of volunteers spontaneously cleaned up the oil source: CCTV News Client Time: August 25, 2020 African Island Mauritius, located in the southwest of the Indian Ocean, beautiful scenery, is known as "Human Paradise"The island country is now in a terrible "ecological crisis".
All this is from July 25th, a freeway of fuel, accidentally stranded in the southeast of Mauritius.On the evening of July 25 local time, there were about 4,200 tons of fuel "," in a state where there is no slow reduction, there is a coral reef from the southeast coast of Mauritius.The freighter is stranded, and 20 crews immediately safely evacuated.
In the next two weeks, the Mauritius government and the female buser of the incident, the Japanese Bouvery Boat and the Leased Company Japanese Mashang Sanjing consultation accident treatment, the stranded freighter has been stopped in place.
Until On August 6, the right-conversion fuel tank of the trip unit was broken and fuel spilled. Black fuel is drifted from the freighter to Algrete, Mueburg, Fern and Bangbvi, about 25 kilometers along the coastline. On August 7, the Government of Mauritius announced that it entered the "environmental emergency", claiming that the country has no capacity to handle such large oil leakage accidents, to the French and Indian government.
French Prime Minister Marklon then sent a warship, a military aircraft, and related experts to Mauritius. The Indian government also sent an oil spill recovery expert and transported 30 tons of fuel cleaning equipment. On August 10, the mother-of-Japanese government of the accident trip was sent to Mauritius.
But then about 1,000 tons of fuel leakage.
Traveler Esno: It is sadly the fuel pungent, and it is oil. Local residents, social organizations and environmental issues spontaneously organized to clean up the coastal oil.
Local resident volunteers: We are obliged to do something.
If we don't care, who can manage, who will do these work.
All of us united together, right, yes, unity is power. Everyone gives a effort that every power will help.
A village in Mauritius southeast coast, gathered thousands of volunteers, they used plastic bottles, sugar cane, towels, straw and other items to drive the oil bar, volunteers opened the boat put the oil bar to float. Near the oil, preventing further diffusion of oil.
To clear the oil that has been drifted to the shore, volunteers can only shovel the oil into the waste barrel. But in the mangrove area, people can only use hands out of oil.
Local residents: In the depths of these mangroves, fuel is filled with fuel.
Take a look, a bucket is taken, the viscous oil is comparable to the crude oil.
Look at the place where the mangrove tree roots, the scorpion, I really don't know how to clean it, and then look at this. At present, the main force of oil and pollution near the coast is this group of volunteers. Because the oil absorption effect is better than the straw, the local and even set off a "haircut", the barber shop also provides free service for residents who want to donate their hair.
Barber cleier: (we) will collect hair to volunteers, (they) will put them in the oil bar, the hair oil absorbing effect is very good, not to absorb the water … Local resident: Want to save us ourselves? Come to the store to cut your hair.
At present, the accident investigation is still advancing.
The Central Criminal Investigation Department of Mauritius arrested the Captain of the Care Wheel "Rano" and Sri Lanka.
On the afternoon of August 18, the captain and the big deputy were in court in the Capital Route Court of Mauritius.
According to Mauritius National TV Network, the captain claimed: At that time, the freighter was taken near the coastline, which was to obtain a mobile phone signal.
He admitted that he used to drive.
According to the satellite data, the freighter is stranded 4 days, which is on July 21, starting to deviate from the normal waterway. In the next few days, the Mauritius Coast Guard has tried to contact the freighter several times, warned its route very dangerous, but no reply.
The Japanese merchant Sanjing Company of the Rent "Rano" is confirmed that it has deviated from the normal route 55 nautical miles when the Thae will deviate from the normal route.
The cause of the accident is too close to the island when the freighter is sailing, why is it close to be so close? The Government of Mauritius said that it will seek compensation to the "Ruoyi" ship, the shipowner of the "Rano".
Japanese Shipowners Insurance Association (JAPANPICLUB) predicts that the amount of compensation for this accident is expected to be approximately 2 billion yen, about 18.87 million US dollars. However, the impact of fuel leakage on the environment and causes damage, it is difficult to estimate money. The marine protected area designated by the Esny Corner Wetland, the International Wetland Convention is one of the most sensitive areas of Mauritius ecology, and is also a region of fuel contamination. It is estimated that there are about 1700 species, including more than 800 fish, 17 marine mammals and Turtles facing the pollution threat caused by this fuel leak. In the past 35 years, the Mauritius Wildlife Foundation has cultivated about 200,000 local native trees in order to protect the ecosystem, cultivated about 200,000 local native trees and introduced the endangered birds. However, this effort may be paid in the east of these more than 1,000 tons of fuel leakage. Mauritius Wild Animal Foundation John: We have been re-introducing unique species, such as olive embroidered eyebirds, red neck green, Mauritius, now the survival of these species is threatened by this accident … fuel odor will affect All animals on the island, we have done in the past 35 years, may be destroyed once. More than 1,000 tons of fuel leaked, covering the sea, which can lead to biological poisoning and suffocation of the ocean.
Toxic hydrocarbons released in fuel will also suffocate coral. The coral reef is called the rainforest in the ocean, about 25% of fish depend on coral reef. Coral reef also protects the coastline from storms and erosion, and is also an important tourist resource in Mauritius. The ocean scholar Take Pamu, a disaster survey, said that the impact of this fuel pollution on local ecology is long, and natural environment recovery may take decades, some of which are even irreversible.
Ocean scholars Catamu: Affected is not only an ecological environment, but also an economy, and many local people are living with fisheries. There are also many hotels here, visitors are the hotel's economic source. The freighter is stranded for nearly one month, and fuel leaks on the environment and economy of Mauritius, how much is it, and still observed and evaluated.
According to statistics, in the past 50 years, more than 100 countries around the world have been affected by marine oil leakage.
In the first decade of the 21st century, the average annual oil leakage incident occurred, which not only seriously destroyed the ocean ecological environment, but also in the air and soil, it was difficult to recover the earth environment.

Q: java - coordinates into an array I'm trying to figure out how to get these rectangles coordinates into an array(using a loop), but I can't get them right. The values in the array in default are "false". For example if the coordinates are 0, 24 blockCoords[0][1] shoud be "true". Sorry for my English, I'm not a native speaker :P
boolean[ ][ ] blockCoords = new boolean[20][10];//the array

//added the code to create the array
  private void createArray() {
        for(int i=0;i<20;i++) {
             for(int j=0;j<10;j++) {
                  blockCoords[i][j]=false;
          }
      }
  }
//b is the block
int y1 = b.getY();//get the coordinates of the top of a block
int y2 = b.getHeight();//the height of a block
int x1 = b.getX();
int x2 = b.getWidth();
int numHorizontal = 10-((240-x2)/24);//calculates how many blocks there are - 24 is the width and the height of a block - 240/480 are the dimensions
int numVertical = 20-((480-y2)/24);
int col=10-((240-x1)/24);//in which column does the block's coordinates start in
int row=((480-y1)/24)-1;// same for the row

A: You never assign any value to the array blockCoords so it could never assume any other value than false. I suspect you meant to use the x and y coordinates to assign a value to the array.

A: If I correctly understand your question:
for(int i = row; i < numVertical; i++){
    for(int j = col; j < numHorizontal; j++){
        blockCoords[i][j] = true;
    }
}

Q: Bigcommerce custom shipping handling I have a client who wants an eCommerce site but they have to have a custom shipping service. The way shipping will work will be as follows:
When the online customer is placing the order and is shown the shipping page, this page must query the custom shipping service passing all the order information (as JSON). The shipping service will return a JSON array containing ShipmentOption objects. Each ShipmentOption object contains the shipping method name and the total price of shipping the items on the order to the online customer's address.
Can the BigCommerce platform handle the above requirement? If yes, can you please send me the URL to the pages that explain to me how to set this up or send me the instructions please?

A: This isn't possible to accomplish with Bigcommerce, but you may be able to use ShipperHQ to host the same logic and get similar, if not the same, quotes.

"Only Cannibalism unites us. Socially. Economically. Philosophically. The unique law of the world."
—Brazilian poet Oswald de Andrade
From gritty backwaters and backrooms, from retro equipment and deceptive nostalgia, the multi-national mixing pot of Brooklyn, NY's CHICHA LIBRE (featuring members of Si Sé and Combustible Edison) returns with Canibalismo, an expression of the edgy craving that is fueling a pop rethink around South America and causing a stir in the rock-tired indie scene.
This album of originals, while tackling obscure mathematics and psychedelic inventors, takes its cues from Peruvian chicha, a style that put surf guitar, rainforest psychedelics and Andean flavor to a cumbia beat with open-minded exuberance. CHICHA LIBRE has learned from and teamed up with the unsung mad geniuses of the music—such as Ranil and Los Shapis, who were featured on Roots of Chicha— then taken it as a springboard to join the international stream of tropical experimenters from Colombia to Argentina.
When the French-born, New York-based Olivier Conan went to the curious city of Iquitos, Peru to make a film about the town's most eccentric musician (and former mayoral candidate), he imagined himself digging through old crates in his spare time, hunting down lost chicha records, the radically omnivorous vintage music movement of the Peruvian hinterlands. He asked around, and a new friend insisted he check out his collection. There, he said, was a prime slice of chicha.That crucial album turned out to be CHICHA LIBRE's debut, Sonido Amazonico. Group instigator and cuatro player Conan found his outfit to be part of a continuation of the tropical movement that started with early 20th-century avant-garde South American artists, and continues to inspire young wild musicians in Latin America. "Young Latin bands today, like chicha's stars and like early rock innovators, cannibalize everything around them. They aren't slaves to codes."
Like the legends of 60s and 70s rock sucked up and radically transformed the blues and jazz, today's tropicalists are reshaping cumbia's sound to suit their own unabashed, unconventional tastes. For CHICHA LIBRE, this means vintage rock sounds rumble past irrepressible bursts of percussion, the Valkyries cavort to mellotrons, pan-Latin beats merge with curious lyrics, and the occasional passerby joins in with Guinean guitar or pedal steel riffs.
The band's brash creativity has jumped forward, as they leave musical reconstructions behind and gnaw the roots of everything from indie rock to European art music, merrily sending timbales through old guitar amps, inventing their own Tupperware-contained synths, and tossing everything into the tape delay machine.
On Canibalismo, CHICHA LIBRE spits out a raucous cumbia rendition of Wagner complete with dubbed-out grooves, moseying surf guitar, and eerily quirky keys ("Ride of the Valkyries"). They reflect seriously on the delusion of the vintage and the nature of nostalgia for the good ol' days ("L'Age d'Or"), while laying on the retro sound thanks to the copious use of old analog equipment. They sway through lush, trippy cumbias ("La Danza del Milionario"). Then they go off the deep end with a funked-up, Latin-edged tribute to 19th-century math genius Carl Friedrich Gauss & Fermat primes ("Number Seventeen"); or with a slow-burning homage to the inventor of a certain popular psychedelic drug. ("Lupita en la Selva y el Doctor").
