Meet Ashwin Golani, a Sought-after Young Producer From Gujarat
No matter how much ever we speak about certain individuals from across businesses and industries, it always feels that much more spotlight needs to be put on their lives and the journeys they have lived as young talented beings. The younger brigade shines differently when it comes to doing the unusual and pushing the envelope, be it in any industry or sector.
These young guns of the world have shown what it really takes to become their best versions and, in the process, inspire other aspiring professionals across the world. Ashwin Golani has been doing that and much more by radiating a certain level of brilliance when it comes to the music industry.
Ashwin Golani's massive rise to fame can be attributed to his constancy and consistency in efforts and his attitude of working harder each day to better himself as a producer in the industry.
He knew the competition he may face in the music world, still without losing hope and believing in his visions, he put in enormous efforts to become his best version and prove to the world how well he could take over the field as a young producer.
It is hard to believe and at the same time interesting to know that Ashwin Golani is just 20 years of age from Palanpur, Gujarat and still has managed to imprint his name amongst the greatest young talents in the music industry as a producer.
This journey of his, where today he has become one of the most sought-after Indian music producers were filled with many ups and downs and challenges. Still, one thing that always kept him motivated was his genuine intent to offer something new to listeners and music lovers.
His hit songs like "Kuch Door" from the album "Business Only", by MiLLie & Manraj Veer, co-produced by him, "Murder" and "Jee Le Chal" have helped him attain an astounding number of fans and followers for him, which yet again proves his prowess as a famous producer from Gujarat.

I wonder why citizens of New York want a Mayor that closes the door to public scrutiny of all policy determinations. Bloomberg's disdain for accountability is obvious to anyone who has tried to obtain information about him, and/or his staff pursuant to the freedom of information law.
If you read the new website of the Committee on Open Government, you will read about the many violations of FOIA and FOIL by both Mayor Bloomberg and Mr. Joel Klein. More about Mr. Klein's violations in a later article. So let's go now to the New York Times' requests for information on Mayor Bloomberg's successful campaign to get himself into a third term as Mayor, as you can see in the Times' article posted below.
By the way, I have heard that any New York City Council member who can win a third term on the Council gets free health insurance paid by the New York City taxpayer for the rest of his/her natural life. This is good to know, isnt it?
In the middle of the pitched battle over Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg's plan to re-engineer the city's term-limits laws, those are the only two words that the first deputy mayor, Patricia E. Harris, (pictured below with Mayor Bloomberg) wrote about the topic.
Or at least those are the only two words that City Hall will allow the public to see.
On Friday, six months after The New York Times requested copies of all e-mail messages about term limits sent or received by six top aides to the mayor under the Freedom of Information Act, the Bloomberg administration released 66 pages of correspondence.
Much of what the city released amounted to fan mail for the mayor, from businesspeople, friends of his aides or ordinary citizens.
"My husband and I fully support your bid for a third term," a husband and wife wrote the mayor. Their names were withheld.
In an e-mail message to the mayor, Edward B. Ryder IV, from Farmington, N.Y., wrote a ringing endorsement of the third-term plan. "If there was a case to be made for lifting term limits, I'm sure you will make it and make it well," he wrote.
The Times sought e-mail messages written or received by Mr. Bloomberg; Ms. Harris; Edward Skyler, deputy mayor for operations; Kevin Sheekey, deputy mayor for intergovernmental affairs (pictured below); Stu Loeser, the mayor's press secretary; and James Anderson, communications director.
The administration did not release any e-mail messages written by Mr. Bloomberg, Mr. Skyler (pictured below)or Mr. Anderson.
The mayor's office released 17 e-mail messages that encouraged him to change the law and seek a third term, and four others opposing the move. The remainder consisted of press releases, poll results and inquiries about Mr. Sheekey's young twins. None of the messages reflected discussions of strategy, support-building or organizing the broader campaign around the issue, which consumed the administration for months in the second half of 2008.
In a letter to The Times, a lawyer for the mayor, Anthony W. Crowell, said the administration was withholding other correspondence because it falls under an exemption for "interagency or intra-agency" materials.
A spokesman for the mayor, Jason Post, said on Friday afternoon, "We released all the e-mails that were subject to disclosure." He noted that Mr. Bloomberg did not personally respond to many of the e-mail messages on term limits.
Even those e-mail messages that offer a window into City Hall's thinking about term limits are long on logistics and short on substance.
And even while citing the exemption for correspondence between agencies in City Hall as a reason for not disclosing other messages, the administration nevertheless included one e-mail message from Mr. Loeser, sent on Oct. 3, 2008, in which he forwards the result of a poll to his City Hall colleagues, including Ms. Harris, Mr. Sheekey and Mr. Anderson. The poll found that most New Yorkers backed the idea of a third term for Mr. Bloomberg.
Mr. Post said that because the e-mail message contained "final statistical tabulations," the city determined it should be disclosed.
Still, the documents do provide a glimpse of the ego-stroking and subtle hierarchies that govern the political world.
Then Mr. Sheekey quoted the character Leo McGarry, the White House chief of staff on the television series "The West Wing." (Picture at left is actor John Spencer as Leo McGarry).
How do you feel about Mayor Bloomberg running for a 3rd term?
Great - He's doing the best he can - all he needs is another chance.
Disappointed - I've lost hope in him - we need a new mayor.
Angry - I belive in term limits - you should only get two terms.
Mayor Bloomberg got an earful from New Yorkers last fall when he tossed term limits so he could run for reelection, according to e-mails released Friday by City Hall.
"This is a sad day for New York City. How dare you?" wrote one disgruntled citizen to Bloomberg the day after City Council voted to make the change in October.
Another urged him not to run for mayor again because "fatigue can set in," while a third wrote, "The way this is being handled is hurting you - it really is."
"We are thrilled to hear the news about the third run. THANK GOD," Mara Manus of the Film Society of Lincoln Center e-mailed the mayor.
"We only regret you didn't run for President," an enthusiast e-mailed after urging him to seek a third term.
The exchanges between City Hall and outsiders suggest Bloomberg was trying to line up labor support days before the Council voted on the controversial measure.
Deputy Mayor Kevin Sheekey was arranging meetings in early October to discuss the term limits debate with Stuart Applebaum of the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union (at right) and Peter Colavito of SEIU 32BJ, records show.
"Want to talk on this ASAP," Colavito wrote.
Sheekey also appeared to discuss the issue with President Obama's political director, Patrick Gaspard, who wrote on Oct. 21 he "wanted to talk term limits."
Gaspard was previously an operative at SEIU 1199, which opposed term limits. Bloomberg is now courting the union for a reelection endorsement.
The Council narrowly voted to extend term limits for itself and citywide elected posts on Oct. 23 despite opposition from good-government groups and several politicians.
Bloomberg received support from Intrepid Sea-Air-Space Museum chief Bill White, who ended his e-mail with, "Hope to see you at the Intrepid for the Grand Reopening."
Adrian Flannelly, chairman of Irish Radio Networks, wrote after the vote, "Congratulations. We look forward to your leadership of New York City for the next five years."
The e-mails were provided to the Daily News through a Freedom of Information request, though the names of most e-mail senders were redacted.

Zilverhexafluorfosfaat is een anorganische verbinding van zilver, fosfor en fluor, met als brutoformule AgPF6. De stof komt voor als een corrosief wit tot beige poeder, dat oplosbaar is in organische oplosmiddelen. Het kan verkleuren onder invloed van licht.

Toepassingen
Zilverhexafluorfosfaat wordt redelijk vaak aangewend als reagens in de organische en organometaalchemie. Het wordt gebruikt om halogenide-liganden te vervangen door het zwak-coördinerende hexafluorfosfaat-anion. De verwijdering van het halogenide wordt gestuurd door de neerslag van het overeenkomstige onoplosbare zilverhalogenide (zoals bijvoorbeeld zilverchloride). Een voorbeeldreactie is de bereiding van een acetonitrilcomplex uit een complex metaalbromide (in dit geval pentacarbonylrenium(VI)bromide):

AgPF6 + Re(CO)5Br + CH3CN -> AgBr + [Re(CO)5CH3CN]PF6

Zilverhexafluorfosfaat kan optreden als een oxidator, waarbij metallisch zilver wordt gevormd. In een oplossing van dichloormethaan wordt ferroceen geoxideerd tot ferroceniumhexafluorfosfaat:

AgPF6 + Fe(C5H5)2 -> Ag + [Fe(C5H5)2]PF6

Toxicologie en veiligheid
In contact met zuren of sterke oxidatoren ontleedt zilverhexafluorfosfaat, met vorming van zilver(I)fluoride en fosforpentafluoride. Er kan ook ontleding optreden als gevolg van verhitting. Dan ontstaat onder meer het corrosieve waterstoffluoride en het giftige gas fosfine.

Zilverhexafluorfosfaat is een sterk corrosieve en zeer irriterende verbinding voor de ogen, de huid, de luchtwegen en de slijmvliezen. Inhalatie of inslikken van de stof kan longoedeem, kortademigheid, hoofdpijn, braakneigingen en ernstige beschadigingen aan de slokdarm veroorzaken. Huidcontact kan leiden tot argyrie.

Feta Info
A Greek Specialty
Feta cheese is a Greek specialty and its origin goes back a long way in history, it is considered to be one of the oldest cheeses in the world.
The earliest record of feta cheese dates back to the Byzantine Empire. It has been associated closely with Crete, located in present day Greece. An Italian traveler to the city of Candia makes express mention of the curing processes in brine cellars in his writings, dated 1494.
The word "feta" has an interesting genealogy. It comes from the Italian word fetta (meaning slice). Fetta, in turn, is of Latin origin from offa (meaning bite or morsel). It first appeared in Greek language in the 17th century, possibly referring to the process of serving the cheese by cutting it in thin slices. Many, however, attribute a Classical Greek origin to feta cheese. According to myth, the Cyclops Polyfimos was the first to have prepared it. In the museum of Delphi, 6th century BC artifacts also make references to the process of feta cheese-making.
Traditionally Made with Sheep's Milk
Feta cheese in 2005 secured a protected designation of origin in the European Union, and is defined as having a minimum of 70% sheep's milk, with the rest being goat's milk. Greece had to fight a protracted legal battle to secure the same, as a variety of pasteurized cow's milk cheese was in circulation in Denmark under the same name.
Varieties to the Greek feta cheese are to be found in many of the Balkan countries as well as the Mediterranean region.
Feta is an aged brine curd cheese, which is usually made from ewe's or goat's milk. Usually formed in square-shaped blocks, it is known to have a somewhat grainy consistency. However, in today's world there is an abundance of "Feta Style" cheese made with cow milk. Feta is usually white in color, with a tangy and salty flavor and a hardness that can range from soft to semi-hard.

So you're loving Hero Hunters, huh? So are we, only we wish we had a few more heroes to play with. Sound familiar? Yeah, I thought so, that's why we've put together the information you need in order to unlock some of the best heroes in the game.
Some have shotguns, snipers, crossbows, burst fire weaponry and more, so there's plenty of styles to sink your teeth into.
So read on for everything you need to get unlocking heroes in Hero Hunters.
First select which hero you want to be working towards – some of them come with incredibly steep cost requirements and will take you a while to work towards, while others can be done in a few play sessions quite easily.
Many heroes cost 30 fragments to unlock, and that number might be hard to achieve, so you can imagine how difficult it'll be to get the heroes which cost 500 fragments or more. Yikes.
Start small and work your way towards the big ones slowly, there's no need to rush. Once you select which hero you want, there'll be a "Find Fragments" options to let you know which missions or crates you can find fragments in.
It doesn't always highlight their availability in the PVP or Gauntlet stores, though.
This is by far the easiest way to earn fragments – some heroes will have their fragments drop on certain missions, usually in hard mode. Once these missions are unlocked, you can replay them for their rewards up to three times a day.
This means, should a hero have two or three missions where their fragments drop, it'll be quite easy to grind them out, especially since you can quick play the missions in exchange for some stamina and a token or two.
Though if it's an older mission, you probably wouldn't have any trouble shooting them down anyway.
These two stores use special currency earned from within their respective modes. It's actually not hard to grind some of the currency out, so playing might be a good way to earn certain hero fragments.
The stores regularly refresh too, and you can force a refresh, meaning you can use the currency for others heroes in the future.
Fragment availability in these stores might not be highlighted on the find fragments screen, so make sure to check here before resigning yourself to buying crates.
You can keep playing the two modes to earn more currency regularly, and invest that into more fragments for a new hero.
Of course, an obvious way to get hero fragments is through gold crates, which you can periodically open for free. Which is nice.
But far more worthwhile are the Hero crates, which cost 300 gold to open. It's a much steeper price, but if you want to unlock new heroes, this is the option you should go for.
Save your gold for Hero crates, don't bother spending it on more gold crates.
Ah, so now we need hero crates, only we need more gold, right? Right, and spending money is a no-go, so we're gonna grind for it. Well, the first, and most obvious, method is playing the campaign missions.
Each mission you three star for the first time will earn you 15 gold, and that goes for hard mode too, in addition to 5 for first time completion. You will also get the option to watch an ad in exchange for an extra 5 gold after a mission.
Other than that, it's best just to work your way through daily quests and achievements, which will earn you a fair amount of gold if you keep completing them regularly.


I met my wife in March 1999 in Toronto. She had immigrated to Canada from Asia several years prior to that event.
Religion has never been an issue for us. I was raised Roman Catholics but eventually migrated to a body-mind-spirit philosophy that she ended up embracing, while I respected her Buddhist views. Our ideologies have always co-existed nicely without any friction.
And yet, I had managed to stay away, for the most part from her temple, which she only really visits once yearly, on Chinese New Year -- which is today, February 31, 2014.
Yesterday, I offered to drive her there (today) with her sister. My plan was to wait for her in the car while I would read my favorite magazine about sound engineering -- something I find truly relaxing.
However, when we got there, surprisingly, there was some parking available -- which at another hour today could have proven more difficult. And so I thought, "What the heck, I'll check it out".
Buddhism has been practiced in Canada for more than a century. There are now many temples in our country.
We went to one called, "The Cham Shan Temple".
Upon entering there was a strong, yet pleasing smell of burning incense.
We proceeded to the basement where various shops of religious artifacts could be found, as well as a canteen. I bought the only lunch available -- vegetarian -- and it was surprisingly palatable. It felt like the type of food that would be appropriate for a monk to eat -- someone who had detached themselves from materials possessions and the longing for earthly pleasures. Still, within this context, it was quite good.
Then we proceeded to the main level and entered the temple. There was an abundance of monastic personnel. They were reverent and many respectful bows were being dispensed.
Worshipers travelled from one religious display to another, both indoors and outdoors, performing rituals and carrying incense sticks.
It seemed a typical visit would last well under an hour, but that's just an impression, I could be wrong.
One observation I've made, is that a strong peacefulness pervaded the place, as though there suddenly should be no need to worry about the affairs of daily existence; and a sense of hope, instead, prevailed. In other words, it felt very safe in the Buddhist temple today.


Sally and I were serving as counselors at Canadian Adventure, a high-school wilderness camp. We spent two nights in an upriver cabin with our group, and on one of the nights I stayed up late by the campfire with some of the kids.
We first noticed the Snowshoe Hare munching on grass just outside the campfire circle between the fire and the cabin. It disappeared for a while, then reappeared running straight toward us along the path. It stopped about 10 feet from us, then turned and disappeared into the woods. I suspect it was running from something, but I have no idea what. It was strange to see it running right at us. We laughed about the "attack rabbit" when we told the others the next morning.

Broken Sword 5 Episode I Review
Fans of the Broken Sword series are divided in their opinions on the three dimensional entries in the series, but it is almost universally agreed that the original hand drawn titles were more enjoyable. So, when Revolution went to Kickstarter for the fifth installment with news that it would return to hand drawn backgrounds, expectations were high. Thankfully, the first part of this two part adventure should satisfy most fans of the series and fans of point and click adventure games in general.
The game's characters and some of the scene elements (such as automobiles, which fans might remember actually were also 3D models in at least one cutscene in the original game) are presented as three dimensional models, but the backgrounds are two dimensional and hand drawn, giving the game somewhat of a presentation somewhere between the first three games. This is a bit jarring at first to people who are used to the fluidity of the animation of the hand drawn character models of the original game. The feeling of disjointedness however is short lived, as the animation of the three dimensional character models are well done, and the art design of the characters match the art design of the backgrounds quite well. The game is also presented with a complete point and click interface similar to the original games in the series. There is also an option to present the text in the style of either the original games or the high definition remakes, which should please fans no matter which point they joined George and Nico on their adventures.
The game begins as George Stobbart, who is now working as an art insurer, is sent to Paris to a private viewing in an art gallery. He meets Nico Collard there, who is still working as a reporter, and the two catch up on old times. Unfortunately, as is often George's luck, there is a murder, and the painting is stolen, leading George to have to investigate on behalf of his employer, who had insured the painting and is now responsible for reimbursement. As is usually the case with this series, the investigation soon leads to a larger conspiracy, and danger for our heroes. This is just the first part of the game, so the investigation is just starting to build to the larger conspiracy before the first part ends, leaving a cliffhanger for the second. However, this is done very well, and the pacing of which the game builds up its story is similar to that of the other games in the series. The cliffhanger certainly serves its role well, as it leaves you wanting to know more once the credits roll.
The puzzles here are also very well done. The puzzles never quite get as hard as some of the puzzles in the original games, but the ramp up in difficulty is well done., but the puzzles do get more difficult and require more thinking outside the box as the game goes on. However, despite requiring some more outside of the box thinking at times, the solution to each puzzle always makes sense logically. They are all suited to the world of Broken Sword very well, which, despite the supernatural theme of the conspiracies the couple always encounter, are always grounded mostly in reality. The game also presents the player with a hint system if they get stuck, as well as the ability to highlight hotspots, which will prove useful for some of the smaller objects in the game's world. If you prefer to play the game with less help, these can also be toggled on and off.
The music and voice work is always a big part of the presentation of the Broken Sword series, and it certainly doesn't disappoint here. The music fits the scenes well, and have the same sweeping orchestral feeling that fans of the series expect. There are also parts of the game that have some other styles of music, and this also fits each scene very well. I found myself quite enjoying a 1970s style pop song that plays during one scene. The voice work is excellent as well. Rolf Saxon returns as George Stobbart, which is always a good thing, as his voice work is the main reason that the narrative style of the game works so well. The other characters are voiced excellently as well, from Nico Collard, to the supporting cast. As is usual, there are some popular characters from previous entries in the series that return here, and they are also voiced excellently as usual. There are some slight sound level fluctuations in some of the lines, which can be quiet at times, but unusually loud in others. However, this doesn't happen often, so it doesn't really detract much from the game.
Broken Sword 5 Episode I is an excellent start to a game which is shaping up to be a solid entry in this excellent series. The story is intriguing, the voice work and music is superb, and the puzzles are well done. There are a few technical hiccups regarding the sound levels of some of the lines, and the story here is really just starting to get on its feet before it ends on a cliffhanger. However, these small quibbles don't stop the game from being one of the best of the crowdfunded adventures to be released so far.

Quite like your review. I think the plot wasn't as captivating as it could have been. and there should have been more emphasis on "saving the balance of the world and stopping the crazy guy." Other than that, I liked the game but felt it was quite fast, maybe also because the hints are there in case you get stuck. Something I think made the game too easy and the game shorter.
Still it was a good game.
I hope you will also check out and comment on my review here :) http://www.nynyonline.co.uk/lets-talk-about-broken-sword-5/

Helaine taught me and a group of friends how to play canasta. It took me a little while to get but now I love it! There have been times that our group still needs to call or text Helaine to ask her how to handle one of the many subtleties of the game and she always gets back to us with her advice. I highly recommend her as a teacher and that you learn the game!


I am sitting here this morning tweaking the table length of probably 800 numeric tables in PAC control. You can imagine that this is time consuming…it will likely take several days and cause carpal tunnel. You have to click on each variable, click on the field, type new length, save and then wait for the update. Then you go to the next one on the list. This isn't something that will have to be done often…we are doing this for a system expansion. However, there has to be a better way for mass editing. I often find myself in less extreme situations where I wish for such functionality…now I am screaming for it. I know that we can export/import charts. Is there any clever way to use this or other functionality to edit variables? Or maybe direct editing of the cdf files? It is moments like this that cause me to question my sanity…all help would be appreciated!
In the same vein of thought…I have always wanted the ability to have some sort of version control. In DISPLAY, this is a lost cause. However, in CONTROL I see an option that isn't terrible. You can use the cxf generated by the export process. This would provide an opportunity for merging changes and showing differences. The same with the otg files for IO. So we have pretty much everything needed for mass editing and basic cvs in CONTROL…except variables! Mary/Ben…any genius or backend options? Maybe you know of a ninja script command to edit table length?
Have you used [U][B]AutoHotKey[/B][/U]? That's been helpful to some in this kind of situation.
On your version control question, check out [U][B]this post[/B][/U] where I shared some suggestions and work-around ideas.
Wish I had better answers for you!
I finally did get through the CONTROL and made my way into DISPLAY. I have even more there. Autohotkey looks like it could help a ton. We built a grid of graphics to represent different outputs. Each is layered with at least 10 different objects with multiple attributes. Quick math says I have about 4000 changes to make (after updating alarms and the recipe file). Just having hot keys for Z-Order alone will make a huge difference! I didn't expect anything groundbreaking…but the autohotkey is a huge help. Thank you!
Here is a screenshot of the grid. Imagine each of those blocks covering multiples underneath along with various text. Each has different visibility attributes depending on the state of I/O.

The government-developed mobile application allows citizens to report civic issues with just a few swipes on their smartphones. According to FutureGov Asia, the crowdsourcing initiative is surprising popular and successful. The app is the "cornerstone" of the Abu Dhabi government's initiative to empower and engage citizens through technology.

Did Iran's entire Cabinet—15 ministers in total—just open Facebook pages? It appears so, and analysts are a bit unsure what to make of it, considering the social media site is still technically banned in the country. President Hasan Rouhani also has a page that has been duly liked by all 15 ministers.

How Do You Prepare For A Disaster That Could Kill More Than 300,000 People?
An earthquake in the Nankai Trough, off of the southern coast of Japan's Honshu Island, could kill up to 323,000 people and cause ¥220 trillion (US$2.21 trillion) in damages. Or at least, those are the worst case scenario projections by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government and the Disaster Prevention Council. To prepare for the potential calamity, the Japanese government is building an electronic mapping system in advance of the potential earthquake.

How the judicial selection process can prop up bias in the criminal justice system
by Kisha Brown December 17th, 2019 March 19th, 2021
Earlier this year in Harris County, Texas, 17 Black women were elected to the judiciary, bringing the total number of Black judges in the county to 25, or 33%. In the wake of the national media attention that followed, one of the candidates shared how her grassroots outreach campaign sparked increased voter engagement when people realized the election wasn't just the usual choice between a Democrat white male and a Republican white male. For voters in Harris County, which is 43% Hispanic and nearly 20% Black, being able to see the possibility of a judge who knew and related to their community was inspiring and empowering. Voters responded by showing up to the polls in much higher numbers than in past years.
Although the historic Harris County election represented a milestone in diversifying the ranks of judges, the population of the judiciary in the United States has traditionally only been controlled by a few select white men. In state courts, where more than 90% of all filed cases are heard, a person can become a judge in a few different ways: through a gubernatorial appointment with or without a nominating commission and with state Senate confirmation, and through an election. An election might be partisan, nonpartisan, retention,or a combination of all those methods. Federal judges are appointed.
An independent judiciary is essential to the public trust and confidence in the court system, and there has long been a debate over whether that aim is best achieved when judges are directly elected by voters or, instead, appointed by state government officials. For far too long, Black Americans and other marginalized groups have suffered under a legal system designed to deny fair and impartial outcomes. Particularly in the criminal justice system, where defendants of color face discrimination that can deprive them of freedom and even their lives, judicial diversity is critical to achieving a fairer system. For many, electing judges is the answer to building a judiciary that best understands, reflects, and is ready to serve their community, while for others, the appointment process has historically offered opportunities they are hesitant to give up.
There is a long history in this country of judges being all white and all men. Many of the early firsts to the judiciary came from appointments as opposed to a desire of the greater electorate to broaden the bench beyond white males. That includes judges like Macon Bolling Allen, a Black man who became the nation's first nonwhite judicial officer. After Allen passed an exam, the governor of Massachusetts appointed him a justice of the peace in 1847, and he later went on to be a judge on the Inferior Court of Charleston, South Carolina. Nearly a century later, in 1939, Jane Bolin became the first Black woman judge in the U.S. when she was appointed to the New York Domestic Relations Court.
But since those early firsts, progress has been slow among appointed judges. In 2016, the Center for American Progress reported that 80% of all federal judges—which are appointed by the president—were white and 73% were male. During President Obama's tenure, his appointments were 64% white and 58% male, while President Trump has appointed the least diverse cohort of judges of any administration in 30 years with 86% white and 79% male. At the end of the day, at both the federal and state levels, for many who live in majority nonwhite jurisdictions the judiciary still does not reflect the demographics of their community.
Importantly, those who are appointed usually have waited their turn and made all of the "correct" and politically safe choices in their careers. In addition, many are also politically well connected or the beneficiaries of nepotism. For Black and other nonwhite lawyers who might lack those advantages, being handpicked for a governor's judicial appointment is often an unlikely prospect. As a result, although appointments contributed to early diversification of the bench, some feel they also slow the pace down and limit the ranks of nonwhite judges to a fortunate chosen few instead of those lifted up by organizational will of the people.
While judicial appointments create their own set of challenges for diverse would-be judges, judicial elections don't necessarily lead to better outcomes. Longstanding arguments against electing judges point out that fundraising and campaigning infuse money and favors into the process, which forces judges to become political. Elections can also threaten the diversification of the bench in rural and suburban areas that do not have a majority population of color.
There are Black judges, lawyers, and laypeople on both sides of the election versus appointment question, particularly in Maryland. Judges in Maryland are selected through a hybrid process. Most judges in the state are appointed by the governor through a nominating commission, confirmed by the state Senate, then held to a retention election after 10 or 15 years. The exception is Circuit Court, where any eligible person can run against a sitting judge.
Years ago in Baltimore City, prominent Black lawyer Billy Murphy ran for Circuit Court judge in the majority Black jurisdiction and won despite not having been chosen by the governor. He has repeatedly testified against eliminating the Circuit Court contested election process, arguing that it is the community's right to choose who will preside over justice in the courts. While Murphy benefited from the Circuit Court election process, however, there have been Black judges appointed in predominantly white counties who later lost reelection against white opponents that used racial identity as their main campaign weapon.
There are serious and legitimate questions to consider about the judicial selection process. As the director of legislative affairs for the Maryland attorney general, I worked under an attorney general who believed judges should be appointed to ensure a nonpolitical and non-biased selection. But I think that viewpoint reflects a patriarchal perspective based on the assumption that one person—the governor, who is usually a white man—knows how best to design the judicial landscape, over and above the seemingly whimsical wishes of racist constituencies and partisan players.
Including judicial elections in the judicial selection process provides a method of checks and balances that allows citizens to engage with those who are tasked with balancing the scales of justice. This aspect of democracy requires us to be attentive and informed when going to the polls. However, if we want the criminal justice system to stop jailing children and doling out biased and unjust punishments, we need to collectively hold every arresting officer, prosecutor, and judge accountable to ensure that our judicial system reflects our societal values. Otherwise, others will gladly continue to make key decisions for us.

She is going to have a hard time trusting you, because she has seen divorce. She has seen two people who swore they loved each other lose that love. She has stood in the corner and watched as a family fell apart.
She has heard the fights, both whispered behind closed doors and screamed between two stories. She has heard the pretty lies told to neighbors about how everything is perfectly fine. She has heard the sobs trying to be held back to appear strong.
She has seen the dirty dishes cluttering up the sink and the laundry thrown at the bottom of the steps to make a point. She has seen the bottles of booze lined up on the dresser and the bong hidden inside the drawers. She has seen one person stuck sleeping on the couch and the other overtaking the bedroom that was once shared.
She has felt nervous inside of her own home. Uncomfortable in the place that's supposed to be safe.
A girl who has seen divorce has seen the worst shades of love. She has seen the darkest parts of a relationship. She has seen a scene that she never wants to experience herself.
When you love a girl who has seen divorce, you have to be able to handle her trust issues. You have to understand that she is not going to let her guard down right off the bat. She is not going to split open her chest and hand you her beating heart unless you work hard for it.
She will assume that you are going to hurt her until you prove her wrong. She will assume that your relationship is going to end in fire and flames unless you show her that it can be different.
When you love a girl who has seen divorce, you have to deal with her fear of commitment. After seeing what she's seen, she is going to struggle to believe in true love. She is going to doubt whether monogamy is meant for her.
She is going to fight against her feelings, because she doesn't want to go through the same horrible things that she has witnessed from afar. She would rather stay alone for life than suffer through the same level of that she was forced to watch for years.
When you love a girl who has seen divorce, you have to give her good reasons to trust you. You have to keep your word. You have to tell the truth. You have to be reliable. You have to be respectful. You have to be consistent.
When you love a girl who has seen divorce, you have to remind her that you are nothing like her parents or her exes or the friends who cheat in every relationship. You have to make it clear that you have no intention of hurting her. You have to show her that her heart is safe in your hands.
She is not the type to jump headfirst into a relationship, so you have to be serious about treating her right if you expect her to take a chance on you.

FDA Greenlights Genentech's Ocrevus For MS
On March 28 Genentech announced that the FDA approved Ocrevus (Ocrelizumab), the first prescription medicine used to treat adults with relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis (MS) and primary progressive multiple sclerosis (PPMS). The drug is administered as an intravenous infusion every six months, with first dose administered as two 300 mg infusions given two weeks apart and subsequent doses administered as single 600 mg infusions.
"The FDA's approval of Ocrevus is the beginning of a new era for the MS community and represents a significant scientific advance with this first-in-class B cell targeted therapy," said Sandra Horning, Executive Vice President, Global Development and Chief Medical Officer at Genentech.
MS is an autoimmune disease affecting the central nervous system, for which there is currently no cure. From 2008 to 2013, the estimated number of people with MS increased from 2.1 million to 2.3 million worldwide. MS occurs when the immune system damages myelin sheath, a protective fatty substance forming an insulating layer around neurons in the brain, spinal cord, and optic nerves. Severe damage to the myelin sheath causes permanent loss of nerve cells and inflammation. Symptoms include muscle weakness, difficulty seeing, and fatigue. MS is the leading cause for neurological disability in adults ages 20-40. PPMS is the most debilitating form of the disease marked by steadily worsening symptoms.
Horning notes that "until now, no FDA-approved treatment has been available to the primary progressive MS community, and some people with relapsing forms of MS continue to experience disease activity and disability progression despite available therapies. We believe Ocrevus, given every six months, has the potential to change the disease course for people with MS, and we are committed to helping those who can benefit gain access to our medicine."
Ocrevus is a humanized monoclonal antibody targeting CD20-positive B cells. Researchers believe that B cells are a key contributor to myelin sheath damage. Dysfunction in B cells can happen through autoantigen presentation causing an exaggerated immune response by T-cells, secretion of molecules that promote inflammation, and autoantibody production.
For Ocrevus, Genentech saw promising results based on two Phase III clinical trials in 1,656 participants with relapsing forms of MS treated for 96 weeks. Participants were randomized to receive Ocrevus or another MS drug- Rebif (interferon beta-1a). In both studies, participants who received Ocrevus experienced a 47 percent reduction in relapse rates compared to Rebif.
Side effects for participants with relapsing MS and PPMS who received Ocrevus were infusion-related reactions including rash, low blood pressure, fever, tiredness, shortness of breath, throat irritation, and a fast heartbeat. Another side effect for clinical trials participants with relapsing forms of MS was upper respiratory tract infection. The most common side effects for participants with PPMS were upper respiratory tract infection, skin infection, and lower respiratory tract infection.
"I think if the safety holds up, it will become the leading M.S. therapy," Dr. Steven L. Galetta, chair of the department of neurology at NYU Langone Medical Center, told the New York Times. However, he added that the medical community will be watching to see how the drug performs once it is widely available. "There can be side effects, but you just didn't have enough patients initially to confirm that signal," he said.
Ocrevus will be available to people in the United States in mid April. Patients must have infusion provided by a healthcare professional.
On the concern for increasing U.S. drug prices, Genentech noted in a statement that the prices for drugs used to treat MS has risen sharply in recent years. "We feel that the industry needs to start to reverse this trend, and believe that pricing Ocrevus 25 percent less than the comparator in our trials is an important first step."

Q: From Gitbash to Ubuntu terminal I have a function in my .bashrc file on Win7 that looks like this:
function gi() {
    npm install --save-dev grunt-"$@"
}

It allows me to type "gi (grunt plugin)" to quickly install a plugin.
I copied this .bashrc file over to Ubuntu and opening the terminal gives the following error:
syntax error near unexpected token `$'{\r''

What is the correct syntax for this function in Ubuntu?

A: You don't need to use function with bash, so in your bashrc file, simply remove that word:
gi() {
    echo npm install --save-dev grunt-"$@"
}

A: You have a carriage return (\r) somewhere in there. Try simply retyping the whole thing in Ubuntu. Alternatively, you could just use delete or backspace to make it all one line, then hit "enter" a few times to make it look pretty in Ubuntu. The trick is to do that "enter" typing IN Ubuntu so you get Unix line feeds, not Windows ones.

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Euro zone finance ministers discussed on Monday ways to make sovereign debt restructuring easier and more predictable as they seek to put together a package of reforms for December to integrate the single currency area more closely.

The ministers broadly supported the introduction of "single-limb" Collective Action Clauses (CACs) in euro zone bonds, which would allow for a single restructuring decision to encompass all bonds. Existing CACs require separate restructuring for separate types of bonds issued by the government.
The change would make debt restructuring easier across different classes of debt instruments and help prevent hold-outs from blocking a deal.
But while the ministers also supported the idea that the euro zone bailout fund, the European Stability Mechanism (ESM), should play the role of facilitator between a sovereign and investors in case of debt problems, debt restructuring should not be automatic.
"There is no support in the room for introducing any automaticity or mechanic approaches in the context of debt restructurings. Rather, we are looking at ways to make it more efficient, should there ever be the need to have a debt restructuring," the meeting's chairman Mario Centeno said.
The ESM already has the job of assessing a country's debt sustainability should a government ask for a bailout, but the discussion on debt restructuring focuses on whether to spell out that role more clearly, also through changes to the ESM treaty.
"The objective of this discussion is not to make debt restructurings more frequent or automatic in any sense, the objective instead is to have more clarity and predictability," ESM head Klaus Regling said. "Also to avoid delays in a crisis which can be costly." he said.
"On changing the CACs, we would not expect any adverse market reaction. Actually, it could be quite the opposite that markets also take in a positive way," Regling said.
Centeno noted, however, that before the ministers make any decisions on a framework for debt restructuring in December, they would first have to piece together other parts of the deeper integration package.
These could include the idea of reducing risks taken by banks when they invest by setting limits on the amount of bonds of a single sovereign one institution can hold — a notion fiercely opposed by Italy and some other governments.

3.1 Pros and cons
The 12.7 cm SK C/34 is a German naval cannon.
Vehicles equipped with this weapon
Z12 Erich Giese
Z15 Erich Steinbrinck
Z20 Karl Galster
Z22 Anton Schmitt
Although the 12.7 cm SK C/34 may not pack as much of a punch as its 150 mm rivals, it makes up for it with its rather quite impressive reload speed, being able to fire 18 rounds per minute on average with a full ready-rack, and 15 rounds per minute otherwise.
Available ammunition
The 12.7 cm SK C/34 can fire three types of ammunition.
The default shell is the Sprgr. Kpf.Z high explosive shell with 2 kg of TNT equivalent and a muzzle velocity of 830 m/s. It is most effective against small motor boats, as it has a high chance of causing hull breaks.
The next shell is the Sprgr. Bd.Z, a base-fused HE shell with more penetration in most cases but with less explosive mass, only 1.4 kg of TNT equivalent and the same muzzle velocity of 830 m/s. It is most effective against armoured targets, such as other destroyers.
The last shell is the Sprgr. Zt.Z, it has identical statistics as the Sprgr. Kpf.Z, but has a time-fuse to detonate after an automatically set amount of time. It is most effective against airplanes and slower gun motor boats.
Comparison with analogues
Give a comparative description of cannons/machine guns that have firepower equal to this weapon.
Usage in battles
Describe the cannon/machine gun in the game - its distinctive features, tactics of usage against notable opponents. Please don't write a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view, but give the reader food for thought.
Summarise and briefly evaluate the weaponry in terms of its characteristics and combat effectiveness. Mark pros and cons as a list.
Examine the history of the creation and combat usage of the weapon in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the weapon and adding a block "/History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Weapon-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref></ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />.
Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.
Links to the articles on the War Thunder Wiki that you think will be useful for the reader, for example:
reference to the article about the variant of the cannon/machine gun;
references to approximate analogues by other nations and research trees.
Paste links to sources and external resources, such as:
topic on the official game forum;

Graduate and professional degree students can borrow a Direct PLUS Loan to help cover education expenses.
The terms and conditions for issuing the loan depend on the credit history of the applicant. The Direct Plus Loan has a fixed interest rate of 7.9%.
You are required to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSASM). In addition, before you can receive a PLUS Loan, your school must have determined your maximum eligibility.
Note: Before July 1, 2010, Stafford, PLUS, and Consolidation Loans were also made by private lenders under the Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL) Program. As a result of recent legislation, no further loans will be made under the FFEL Program beginning July 1, 2010. All new Stafford, PLUS, and Consolidation Loans will come directly from the U.S. Department of Education under the Direct Loan Program.
For a PLUS Loan, you must complete a Direct PLUS Loan Application and Master Promissory Note (MPN). The MPN is a legal document in which you promise to repay the loan and any accrued interest and fees to the Department. It also explains the terms and conditions of the loan. In most cases, one MPN can be used for loans that you receive over several years of study, although a separate Loan Request must be filed for each school year. If you previously signed an MPN to receive an FFEL PLUS loan, you will need to sign a new MPN for a Direct PLUS Loan.
Interest rate cap for military members—If you qualify under the Service Members Civil Relief Act, the interest rate on loans you obtained before entering military service may be capped at 6% during your military service. You must contact your loan servicer to request this benefit.
In addition, we do not charge interest (for a period of no more than 60 months) on Direct Loans first disbursed on or after October 1, 2008, while a borrower is serving on active duty or performing qualifying National Guard duty during a war or other military operation or other emergency, and serving in an area of hostilities qualifying for special pay.
Parents of dependent students may apply for a Direct PLUS Loan to help pay their child's education expenses as long as certain eligibility requirements are met.
The parent borrower must be the student's biological or adoptive parent. In some cases, the student's stepparent may be eligible.
The student must be a dependent student who is enrolled at least half-time at a school that participates in the Direct Loan Programs. Generally, a student is considered dependent if he or she is under 24 years of age, has no dependents, and is not married, a veteran, a graduate or professional degree student, or a ward of the court.
The student and parent must be U.S. citizens or eligible non-citizens, must not be in default on any federal education loans or owe an overpayment on a federal education grant, and must meet other general eligibility requirements for the federal student aid programs. For additional information on eligibility requirements, go to the student aid eligibility page.
The Education Department will send the loan funds to the student's school. In most cases, the loan will be disbursed in at least two installments, and no installment will be more than half the loan amount. The school will use the loan money first to pay the student's tuition, fees, room and board, and other school charges. If any loan funds remain, the parent will receive the amount as a check or other means, unless he or she authorizes the amount to be released to the student or transferred into the student's account at the school. Any remaining loan funds must be used for the student's education expenses.
For a Direct PLUS Loan, the parent must complete a Direct PLUS Loan Application and Master Promissory Note (MPN). The MPN is a legal document in which the borrower promises to repay the loan and any accrued interest and fees to the Department. It also explains the terms and conditions of the loan. In most cases, one MPN can be used for loans that a parent receives over multiple academic years although a separate Loan Request must be filed for each school year. If the parent previously signed an MPN to receive an FFEL PLUS loan, he or she will need to sign a new MPN for a Direct PLUS Loan.
The annual limit on a PLUS Loan is equal to the student's cost of attendance minus any other financial aid the student receives.
For example, if the cost of attendance is $6,000 and the student receives $4,000 in other financial aid, the student's parent can request up to $2,000.
The interest rate is fixed at 7.9%. Interest is charged from the date of the first disbursement until the loan is paid in full.
The parent will also pay a fee of 4% of the loan amount, deducted proportionately each time a loan disbursement is made.
for an additional six months after the student ceases to be enrolled at least half-time.

Accidental Fentanyl Exposure Sickens First Responders During Routine Traffic Stop
By Danielle Prieur
Published May 9, 2019 at 8:11 AM EDT
This is the amount of fentanyl that can be toxic.
The Lake County Sheriff's Office is reminding first responders to make sure they're carrying NARCAN.
That's after a deputy and two firefighters fell ill after coming in contact with a substance believed to be fentanyl.
The Lake County Sheriff's Office says the first responders fell ill after inhaling the substance.
Sergeant Fred Jones says the substance is believed to have become airborne after the first responders pulled a car over, and the car's occupants rushed to hide it.
"This is a reminder to be aware. To make sure that your NARCAN is always available to you. That if you've used it, make sure that you have the new NARCAN and you've traded it out," Jones said.
He says the deputy passed out, and the NARCAN likely saved his life. The firefighters and one of the car's occupants also showed symptoms of exposure.
Barbara Carreno of the Drug Enforcement Administration says there would have been no way the first responders could have known they were entering a scene where fentanyl was present.
"Any of these white powders-methamphetamine is a white powder-and they cannot be distinguished just to look at them. And so tests have to be done in the field or in the lab to know."
FDLE is currently the testing the white powder they found in the car. Three people have been arrested as a result of the bust.
The CDC says it only takes the equivalent of a few grains of the drug to kill someone who isn't an opioid user.

NEW BEDFORD — New Bedford Police are investigating an apparent shots fired incident in the same West End neighborhood that has been plagued by at least six other such incidents so far this year.
According to police, they received a report of a Shotspotter activation in the 100-block of Campbell Street at 2:29 a.m. this morning.
Police say there was an indication that shots were fired. No property damage or injuries were reported.
A week ago, shots were fired in the 80 block of Parker Street. No injuries were reported in that incident, but property damage was found. Scanner reports indicate bullets damaged windows, as well as the interior of a home in that area.

Q: Prove that this isomorphism is identity on K(Hungerford Theorem 1.5) While self-studying algebra from Thomas Hungerford I got struck on theorem 1.5 of Chapter Fields and Galois Theory.

Question: I am not able to figure out how does $\phi$ is identity over K?

I think this could be due to I am wrong in assuming what " Identity over K " means. I think it means $\phi(k) $ = k' for some k'$\in$ K for all k in K.
But I can't prove it.
Kindly tell me what mistake I am making and how to rightly prove it.

A: $\phi$ being the identity on $K$ means that for each $k \in K$, $\phi(k) = k$. For example, if $k = 12345 \in K$, then $\phi(12345) = 12345$.
Your definition - the statement that there exists as $k_0 $ such that $\phi(k) = k_0$ for all $k \in K$ - is the statement that $\phi$ is constant on $K$. That's a different concept.

Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation announced that it obtained a judgment recognizing an infringement of its red phosphor patent in China by Yantai Shield Advanced Materials (Shield).
Mitsubishi Chemical has filed a suit in the Shenzhen Intermediate People's Court on January 23, 2015, accusing the Chinese company of infringement of the patents (No. ZL200480040967.7, No. ZL200710199440.4, and No. ZL201110066517.7) that are related to red phosphor. The patents are owned by Mitsubishi and the National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS). Mitsubishi Chemical sought an injunction on the production and sale of phosphors in China and damages in this litigation. The court recognized Mitsubishi Chemical's claim and adjudicated an injunction to Shield's aforementioned infringement action and ordered Shield to pay a total of RMB 6 million (US$ 861,042) as compensation.
In this litigation, the basic patent for red phosphor called CASN, SCASN, or 1113 phosphor is involved, and Shield filed a claim requesting the invalidation of the patents in July 2015. However, the board dismissed every aspect of the claim and recognized the validity of the patents, and Mitsubishi Chemical received written decisions effective April 7, 2016.

A: Use GridBagLayout as your layout manager and take time to look at the preferredSize, minimumSize and maximumSize properties of components.You can also use Box.Filler class to create Invisible components and add them between the components in your JPanel when the window is resized.I can't help you any further since I don't know what do you exactly want the components to behave like.I recommend you reading the book Swing , chapter 4 is for you


The temperatures are still very high in Essex and the number of flies continuing to try to invade our homes remains a big problem.
Fly spray, fly paper and electric swatters are among the many ways people try to keep the pests away.
However, experts have revealed one of the best ways to keep the creepy crawlies away from your house when it is daylight.
According to Kent Live this simple trick involves filling a plastic bag halfway up with water, filling it copper coins and then hanging the bag above your window or front door.
There are many reasons why this is supposed to work the experts believe.
It is understood that the dark coins may represent a wasp or a spiders' nest and deter them.
Entomologists believe that this is down to the 8,000 lenses in each of the flies eyes, which gives them an ability to detect movement.
In turn as the light reflects through the water in the bag this means that the flies avoid the light reflections and stay away.
However, this does mean that it only works during the day.
Despite not being foolproof, this is certainly a good idea if your house has become infiltrated by the pests.
