Sometimes one problem can solve another problem. If weightloss is as simple as burning more calories than you burn, you can go drinking and lose weight at the same time.
If you work on a computer most of the day, it takes a moment for the brain to understand it can't just search in the real world, too. But why shouldn't it be able to do that?
As the previous post, this is a fidelity twist on an earlier post. While it still makes sense, I think you should be able to speak to it as well. And I guess next time I'm close to where I've searched a realtime photo earlier, it should just present it to me so I don't have to walk over to it physically. Although that has a certain charm to it.
Privacy concerns suspended briefly, the app could submit all searches and make the info available for people not at the actual location.
I was reminded of this old idea and decided to step up the fidelity to see if I would learn more about it.
I have a feeling most highlights will be full sentences, so it could just be that, tapping a sentence and done. Which reminds me that it's odd Kindle's highlighter doesn't default to sentences.
It would also be cool if this one could remember pages and add the highlights when it sees it again.
It should probably also save everything it saw as an image so you could get the context of a highlight.
Hi. I'm Morten Just, and this is my blog. I write about how software could behave a bit more like the rest of us.
That depends on what you think space is.
I sometimes do experiments, you may want to check them out.
Indeed. I'm @mortenjust there. Looking forward to following you, too.
Podcast? Nope. Don't have any.
I love to listen to them, though. I wonder if there are more podcasts than newspapers in the world.
I think you're right. There are newspapers in every corner of the world.

Screen Rentals offers the widest range of mobile digital vans for advertising campaigns and events.
The different models comprise of single, double and triple screen vehicles, representing a choice of formats when planning any activity. Not only are there options for having a different number of screens per vehicle, but the majority of the digivans also have the ability to elevate and rotate to maximise the viewing opportunities.
The fleet range extends from 'Screen Rental 6m sq' (SR-6) single or multi-screen digivans to Screen Rental 15m sq (SR-15) single screen digivans. What makes them so special are their ability to be viewed at both close proximity and at street level, as the screens used are amongst the highest resolution sun-readable outdoor screens available. These are all under 8mm pixel pitch (predominantly ranging from 4mm-6mm pixel pitch) to offer outstanding video and images backed up with high quality audio capability.
Digital vans can play a range of dynamic content, from full video (TV commercials) to rotating stills, presentations, PDFS etc. The content can be time or geographically sensitive or can be streamed in real time as live feeds. Other interactive options are also available upon request like touch screen, augmented reality, social media and TV. The technology doesn't stop with the visual and audio elements but in the campaign evaluation, measurement and reporting using face/gender recognition, GPS tracking and location reports are all available.
The 'SR-6' models are LED digital vans. Screen Rentals offers the choice of vans with single sided 6msq screens or triple sided high brightness digital vans that all have 5mm and 6mm true pitch screens and audio combined. In lay man terms, this vehicle is built to work at street level for close proximity viewing.
The multi-sided vehicles allow the audience to be targeted in different directions and are unaffected by the sun, due to the high brightness and choice of screens.
The multi high bright LED screen vehicles are larger and now the 2 side screens can elevate on hydraulic rams to stand out above the crowds and car parks to offer a real high impact. This makes it desirable for events, shows and festivals as well as retail parks and city centres.
The digivans can be taken to your location of choice where the audience participate and interaction can be measured.
If it is a single-screen vehicle that you require and you feel that this would best suit the mobile campaign you are planning then the SR-15's are perfect for parking up and facing the high footfall and crowds in urban centres or busy retail and business parks.
Like the SR-12 multi-screen vans the screen can elevate and rotate to make sure that the optimum orientation is achieved for the best viewing direction and range.
The SR-15's offer the largest high resolution (6mm pixel pitch) outdoor screen on a mobile digital van.


SPOTSYLVANIA, Va. (AP) — Authorities have captured a man wanted in the shooting of Dux, a K-9 that chased him the night before in Virginia.
The Spotsylvania County Sheriff's Office announced Tuesday that 34-year-old Joseph Conway was taken into custody in Richmond Monday night. The sheriff's statement says Conway was a passenger in a vehicle whose driver was taken into custody Sunday night, and tried to flee the scene.
Officials say Conway fired at deputies and struck Dux as he ran away. Deputies fired back, then took the dog to a veterinary hospital in serious condition. Officials obtained warrants charging Conway with attempted capital murder of law enforcement and a weapons offense.

RICHARD TANTER. Pine Gap history-dogged by censorship and dereliction of duty.
On 1st January this year, the National Archives of Australia published a set of highly redacted Commonwealth cabinet papers dealing with a decision by the National Security Committee of the Howard coalition cabinet in September 1997 to allow the establishment of a Joint Australia-United States Relay Ground Station (RGS) at Pine Gap.
The RGS was to support two United States early warning satellite systems in place of its predecessor, the Joint Space Communications Facility at Nurrungar.
The new facility would support existing Defense Support Program (DSP) infrared early warning satellites over the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean, and would in time support the planned successor generation of early warning satellites known as the Space-Based Infra Red System (SBIRS). The RGS at Pine Gap became operational in 2000.
The previous year the Howard government had determined that matters of defence, foreign affairs and security were to be decided by a small group of senior ministers, assisted by senior advisors (unlike Cabinet itself), making up the National Security Committee of Cabinet. The full cabinet was then merely informed of the committee's decision.
All of the documents released in January 2019 have been severely censored. Redactions amounted to more than a third of the length of the ministerial submission alone. Every page of the cabinet minute and the ministerial submission contains redactions.
The critical document was the ministerial submission, especially the explanations of the technical character and strategic purpose of RGS, the politically important strategy to counteract strong and widespread public concern about Pine Gap, and lastly the financial implications of hosting the RGS. As it turns out, all were heavily censored.
Of five paragraphs under the heading of 'Functions of the RGS' addressing the question of 'whether the functions of which the RGS will be a part can be expected to be closely coincident with Australian interests', three were redacted in their entirety, and the other two substantially, leaving just one-third of the text legible.
That section focusses on the argument that Nurrungar, and then the new Pine Gap facility, contribute to stable nuclear deterrence in two ways: by providing the US with early warning of surprise missile attack, and equally importantly, reducing the likelihood of a nuclear retaliation to a phantom attack. However doubts may exist about the infallibility of deterrence, and indeed, of the morality of the nuclear balance of terror, early warning can be regarded as a 'defensive' matter.
What the 1997 submission appears to not discuss is the critical offensive role of the DSP and SBIRS satellites, and hence the RGS, in U.S. plans – far beyond deterrence – for nuclear war fighting. The DSP satellites – and the SBIRS satellites even more so – not only provided the U.S. with warning of missile launches against the United States, but also identified the locations of land-based intercontinental ballistic missile launch sites with sufficient accuracy to enable US planners to ascertain the specific silos that had launched attacks – and which not.
As Des Ball wrote about Nurrungar in his A Base for Debate in 1987:
'The policy of being able to engage in sequential counterforce strategies, or to "fight and win" a nuclear war, requires precisely this ability to determine which specific Soviet ICBM silos have been used so that the United States can then re-target its own ICBM warheads away from the empty holes to the remaining Soviet ICBMs, and can then direct other US ICBMs to those ocean areas from which Soviet Submarine Launched Ballistic Missile launches have been detected.'
Moreover, either by omission in the original 1997 text or by contemporary redaction, there appears to be no reference to the probability, recognised by the preceding Hawke and Keating governments (and the CIA), that under certain foreseeable circumstances, Nurrungar, and most likely the planned DSP/SBIRS Relay Ground Station at Pine Gap, would be high priority targets for nuclear attack.
Faced with the redactions in the 2019 declassified publication, we do not know whether cabinet was willfully misinformed by the omission of such matters, or whether there was some such reference that was censored in the 2019 publication.
The first would be a matter of abandonment of responsibility and the second wholly unjustifiable.
It is highly implausible that any of the redactions from the 1997 document would contain anything significant to justify censorship under the Archives Act by compromising contemporary Australian defence operations. On the other hand there may well be matters that would embarrass those in the Howard government's National Security Committee, and their advisors, who accepted the RGS proposal on the basis of apparently misleading and flimsy documentation.
The most politically difficult problem the ministerial submission sought to address was one of public scepticism about the government's claim that Pine Gap, like Nurrungar, operated with 'the full knowledge and concurrence of the Australian government'. In essence, the key question would be: if the the DSP and SBIRS satellites and the RGS which was essential to their operation were to be used for purposes of which an Australian government disapproved, would the government be able to know in advance, and would they be able to intervene with the US?
The ministerial submission recognized that the Relay Ground Station would pose difficulties for this approach. This stemmed from the fundamentally different technical character of the RGS compared to the very large stand-alone DSP command, control and data processing and analysis facility at Nurrungar, which employed almost 500 people at its height, and rivalled Pine Gap in size and complexity.
The Relay Ground Station was to be simply a relay facility, operated automatically and remotely from the United States. There would be few Australians or Americans on site at the RGS, and they would have no substantive operational role. There would be no processing or analysis at the RGS of the data that would flow through it untouched to Buckley Air Force Base in Colorado. Effective Australian oversight of the DSP and SBIRS missions on site at Pine Gap would simply be impossible.
The submission sought to make the best of a bad situation, largely trusting that Australians at Pine Gap and Australians stationed in the US in Mission Control at Buckley AFB would be capable of 'monitoring the operation of the RGS'. This was wishful thinking at best. There would be only a handful of people at Pine Gap monitoring the mechanical and electronic health of the RGS, which was otherwise entirely automatic in its functioning. And the junior ADF personnel embedded at Buckley Air Force Base were to be in no position to make any significant contribution to the task of validating 'broad concurrence' with the Australian government's understanding of what it had signed up to, let alone raising concerns that might lead to thoughts of considering an Australian veto.
Overall, the submission, at least as published in 2019, provides few grounds for accepting the ministerial submission's claim, repeated subsequently, that an Australian government would be in a position to assure the Australian public that arrangements for oversight of the Relay Ground Station could properly address the consequences of hosting the Pine Gap facility. Without any doubt, these include the possibility of drawing Australia into culpability for assisting with the use of nuclear weapons for nuclear war-fighting.
It is obvious that attempting to interpolate the full meaning of cryptic parts of censored records of government decisions has its hazards. Not only have large parts of the NSC documents been excised, but we have no record of just which members of the committee were present on the day, and who said what.
In the somewhat frail and decayed version of the Westminster system of government in Australia, ministers are greatly dependent on the advice and information they receive from officials. We do not know which senior bureaucratic and military advisors were present, and how – or even whether – they spoke to particular parts of the ministerial submission.
But it is reasonable to infer from what is now known of earlier periods of Pine Gap's history that some senior Defence Departmental officials would have had a much deeper knowledge than newly appointed ministers of the balance of risks and benefits attached to hosting the Relay Ground Station.
Former Secretary of Defence Paul Barratt took office some months after the events discussed here. After reading the cabinet documents and a draft version of this paper, Barratt remarked that
'Knowledge relating to the two omissions you note in the paper would have been present in the room, but as there is no sign that they were referenced in the Cabinet Submission, I doubt that anyone would have volunteered these aspects in the discussions – the advisers tend to speak when they are spoken to. This raises the question of whether Defence itself, either by accident or design, failed to bring all the relevant issues to the notice of NSC.'
In retrospect, it is clear that the U.S. request to close Nurrungar, centralize its former operations in the continental United States, and build a small, remotely operated Relay Ground Station on the edge of the Pine Gap signals intelligence facility provided the Australian government with a chance, early in the post-Cold War period, to reconsider its long and close support for United States nuclear war-fighting strategy, one of the most bitter fruits of the Cold War.
The cabinet papers show that, whether by intention or by inattention born decades of alliance acquiescence, that opportunity was lost. The task of reforming Pine Gap to address its role in nuclear weapons next use thereby became more difficult.
Note: I am indebted to Paul Barratt, former Secretary of Defence, for comments on an earlier draft and for advice on matters of Australian Government practice.

1 Response to RICHARD TANTER. Pine Gap history-dogged by censorship and dereliction of duty.
Charles Lowe says:
Richard's article doesn't actually say what it most needs to.
That the decision of the National Security Committee of the Howard Cabinet – unquestioned by the Cabinet itself – in September 1997 completely contradicted the assertion of national sovereignty absolutistly declared by Howard almost 3 years later:
"We will decide who comes to this country and the circumstances in which they come."
Supinity. And camouflaged supinity. Totally predictable for a collection of former convict colonies. And a complete testament to our addiction to "She'll be right, mate."
How good is it to be an Australian citizen?

"It's a strong book, an AMBITIOUS book, a worthy winner [of the Hugo Award]." So said George RR Martin in an interview last year. I think George has good taste, so his endorsement was enough for me to pick it up. In my experience, reading authors who aren't British or American provides a very different take on characters, settings and worldview. So it is with Liu's trilogy.
Each book of the the trilogy is self-contained, providing a satisfying conclusion. No ham-fisted cliffhangers here. The books mesh well and looking back on it, form a complete story. As a story-teller, Liu is truly gifted. The plot develops well, is unpredictable and felt unlike anything I had read before. With many books you can tell where its inspired from but I couldn't here. This is probably because of my unfamiliarity with Chinese stories and tropes and it gave all 3 books a fresh, novel feeling. He also uses non-linear narrative and multiple perspectives to keep up the tempo.
What I feel he does best is the science. He introduces novel ideas throughout, the best of which is an interesting solution to the Fermi paradox. It played a major role in the plot and I appreciated that he kept it "real" for as long as possible and it only became mind-bending as many years pass. Only one point required serious suspension of disbelief, and I'm willing to let that go. More than the technology itself, it was fascinating to see humanity struggle with and adapt to situations they found themselves in.
Not entirely positive though. A couple of issues with the characters - we get to know a few characters well, and they're relatable, and evolve with time. However, the majority of characters are either props or in the case of non-Chinese characters, do the most bizarre things. Its possible that the author struggled with non-Chinese characters similar to Western authors have issues with Asian characters. I'd speculate that the author felt this too, and hence as time went on, all the important roles were played by Chinese characters.
Another wrinkle was the dialogue. I'm hesitant to be harsh about this but it feels like the words were translated word-by-word rather than idiomatically. It didn't flow well and was at times a bit cliched. Its a small thing, and I'm not complaining.
To conclude I find its common to compare authors in Science Fiction and Fantasy, but I'm going to avoid that here. I don't want to compare this to Foundation or the Robots. Suffice to say that this is a special set of books, one that tries to put as much Science it can in Science Fiction.

West Bend Student Invited to the Set of '6 Underground'
By Elise Marlett, Editor in Chief
A local student's hobby of six years landed him the opportunity to watch a blockbuster action movie being filmed.
On an excursion with his parkour group that meets through the area YMCA, West Bend West High School sophomore Ian Williams visited the set of the Netflix film "6 Underground" in the summer of 2019. The actor Ben Hardy, who played one of the lead roles alongside Ryan Reynolds, invited Williams' parkour coach and several other parkour enthusiasts from across the country to visit the set.
"Ben Hardy is part of a parkour group called Storror," Williams said. "He invited a bunch of these British people and my instructor was one of the people who was in that group. (He) invited a bunch of people in the facility to come along and I was one of those people so we got flown out to the set."
Williams was able to meet director Michael Bay, who is known for his use of stunt work in big-budget action movies, including "Transformers," "Bad Boys," and "The Rock."
"It was wild," Williams said. "Since Michael Bay is one of the directors of ('6 Underground'), you really get a sense of how he uses explosions. There were a lot of packaged IEDs for certain movie scenes and that's probably the craziest thing."
Taylor Glenski, a participant in the trip, remarks that the end product of a movie is nothing like what it looks like in real life.
"In the movie it looks completely different," Glenski said. "Just the editing makes the scene way nicer looking than what it actually is. In one of the scenes it was really dusty, like dirt was kicked up because of cars, but in the movie it looks really clean."
Both boys were excited to watch the movie when it came out in December 2019.
"When you're watching it, you're like 'I saw that scene! I was in the background!,'" Williams said.

Writing is a labor of love by which those who possess the Gift of Story-Telling reach out to the world and make it a little bit better by their labors.
It is also a complex, time-consuming process, fraught with missteps and the need to understand many subtile tricks not apparent to the untrained eye. Even those with good language skills can easily get lost in the maze of plot progressions, story arcs and character evolutions.
And for all the effort put in, the chances of the unknown author making it through the traditional 'New York Market' are dismal at best. It is disheartening for the up-and-coming generation of spec fi authors to think that their labors are in vain, but the sad truth is that the present system just doesn't work for newcomers: which brings us here.
The rise of Print On Demand and downloadable formats like Kindle and ePub have changed the publishing world. Now the only thing keeping the would-be author from publication is the knowledge to do and the will to act. And therein lies the rub: for the road to self-publication has many potholes and blind ends.
The Written Wyrd* is a literary trust created by a typical self-published author who has been down this road. The goal is to support self-published and small press authors and cover artists by recounting my own efforts, successes, and failures in order to smooth the journey for others.
The works listed at the edges of this page are my own efforts at independent authorship, which I offer world-wide as a charitable activity. The income is used to support new authors and cover artists with technical advice and resources on this site. The goal is to help them develop their skills and get their names before the reading public - to provide them that little edge which can make the difference between a wannabe and someone with honest accomplishments in hand.
So please come in, look around, explore the world of speculative fiction as seen through the eyes of the self published author, and above all, enjoy!
Thank you for your time and interest. I hope these efforts will prove helpful.

For Your Consideration:
From 'TRIAL':
"Gawd." His tense look deepened. "Like a fuckin' football game, pardon my French." He scanned the frenzied humanity barely held in check by a thin cordon of city cops and National Guard troops, then turned his attention back to her. "So what brings the Palace Guard to our little shindig?"
"That."
'That' seemed innocent enough at first glance: a perfect sphere twenty-odd feet in diameter made of some shimmery, pearly silver material with no markings, seams, openings or any other detail. The catch was that it descended out of a clear blue sky three days ago, and it now hovered six inches above the center of the cluster of softball fields in Central Park next to the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
"An honest-to-God flying saucer," she whispered. "Jesus."
Watching TV wasn't the same as actually standing there and seeing it. An alien space ship: product of a civilization far more advanced than mankind. The reality of it chilled her. Her first rational thought as she studied the enormous pearl was that the automatic tucked in her waistband was about useless.
Your Disturbing Thought For The Day:

The month of January takes us through a good portion of the season of Epiphany. The season of Epiphany reveals to us that Jesus is indeed true God come in the flesh to save us all from our sins. The Gospel readings for the Sundays in January carry this theme for us as we come to worship Him Who was born for us and then also give our gifts of ourselves to Him Who is our Savior.
On Sunday, January 13th, the first Sunday after Epiphany, the Gospel reading is Luke 3:15-22. This is the baptism of Jesus where He is identified as the Messiah, the Anointed One, being anointed by the Holy Spirit descending upon Him like a dove. He is then identified as the very Son of God by the voice of the Heavenly Father, "This is My beloved Son; with You I am well pleased." With this anointing and encouragement from the Father, Jesus would take on His work of giving Himself completely for our salvation.
Also, on Sunday, January 13th, we will install our newly elected and reelected officers and board members. These members will give of themselves to serve the Lord in special ways in this congregation. If you were elected or reelected to a term, come up at the appointed time in the service to pledge your faithfulness to the duties of your position and then be installed or reinstalled into it.
Also, on Sunday, January 13th, a new Discover Class will begin. This class studies the main teachings of the Christian faith. It is for those who wish to join our congregation coming from a different Christian denomination or background, those with no religious background, and those seeking a good study of these teachings of our faith. The class meets in the Conference Room upstairs, from 2-4pm.
On Sunday, January 20th, the second Sunday after Epiphany, the Gospel reading is John 2;1-11. This passage includes Jesus first miracle – changing water to wine. The key verse of this passage that states the purpose of all of Jesus' miracles is: "And His disciples believed in Him." (John 2:11b).
On Sunday, January 27th, the third Sunday after Epiphany, the Gospel reading is Luke 4:16-30. Here Jesus identifies Himself as the Messiah prophesied of in Scripture. But as he always does, the devil worked to produce doubt and distrust from the people, even the people of Jesus' home town. In Jesus' response to them He declared that God's salvation is for all people, including some who may not be liked as well.
It will be a great joy to come and worship the King with you this Epiphany season as He comes to us to restore us to Himself so that we get to offer back to Him the gifts of ourselves.

Initiator of Iran's Strategic Action Bill Urges Germany to Honor JCPOA
By Tasnim News
https://www.tasnimnews.com/en/news/2020/12/08/2405914/initiator-of-iran-s-strategic-action-bill-urges-germany-to-honor-jcpoa
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – The Iranian lawmaker who had proposed a strategic action for lifting of the sanctions called on Germany to fulfill commitments under the JCPOA and stand against the US' excessive demands.
In a Monday meeting with Germany's ambassador to Tehran, Chairman of the Parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Commission Mojtaba Zonnoori denounced the European states' inaction in implementation of the 2015 nuclear deal and their failure to save the JCPOA in practice.
"I believe that if Europe, including Germany, acts effectively in defending its commitments under the JCPOA, stand against the US' excessive demands, and behave responsibly in the face of the ongoing crimes in West Asia, we will have a safe world with minimum tensions and crisis," the MP added.
He pointed to the newly-ratified parliamentary bill on lifting of the sanctions and safeguarding national interests, saying the JCPOA parties have a deadline of two months to prove their goodwill in practical commitment to the deal.
Zonnoori also condemned the Western and European double standards on access to nuclear energy, saying the West turns a blind eye to the Zionist regime with hundreds of atomic warheads, but opposes Iran's peaceful and scientific activities in the nuclear industry.
For his part, German envoy Hans Odo Motzel said Berlin supports the JCPOA and believes that precise implementation of the deal would serve the interests of all parties.
His comments came after a harsh response from Iran to the German foreign minister's idea of a new deal with Tehran including limits on its missile power.
In a post on his Twitter account on Friday, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas and the three EU parties to the 2015 nuclear deal must do the following "before speaking about what Iran should do."
"Stop despicable Covid Apartheid, honor your obligations under UN Security Council Resolution 2231, and stop violating JCPOA," Zarif said.
He also urged Germany to end "malign behavior" in the region, including the "$100 billion arms sales to Persian Gulf and blind support for Israel terror."
Maas has said that a new broader Iran nuclear accord must be reached to rein in Tehran's ballistic missile program, claiming that the 2015 deal was no longer enough.


Law enforcement in the southern Florida community where a brutal school shooting unfolded earlier this year launched a new mobile app last week for reporting suspicious activity.
SaferWatch allows users to send in tips to the Broward County Sheriff's Office regarding incidents of bullying, perceived threats and other concerning behaviors in local schools. About 400 schools, including some in other regions of Florida and as far north as Massachusetts, registered to send out continuous updated through the app, according to a report from the Sun Sentinel.
Israel told reporters last week the app already connected a student in need with district officials, a resource officer and mental health services. The Criminal Investigations Division of the BSO will monitor all incoming tips, according to the newspaper.
Israel came under fire in February after investigators learned the BSO received multiple warnings about 19-year-old Nikolas Cruz — a former student at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. The department made contact with Cruz and his family more than two dozen times over the last decade for his behavioral issues, but never formally intervened. Tips to federal authorities, including the FBI, about Cruz's threats to become a school shooter went ignored, too.
Critics argue the institutional failures of law enforcement and the Broward County School District led to Cruz's deadly Valentine's Day Rampage at Stoneman Douglas that left 17 dead and 17 wounded. The Florida Department of Law Enforcement, at the insistence of Gov. Rick Scott, initiated an investigation earlier this year into BSO's botched response to the shooting. Results are still pending.

Axa XL wins ruling in hot air balloon accident
December 12, 2022 Reprints
Axa Coverage Disputes P/C Insurers More + Less -
A unit of Axa XL, a division of Axa SA, does not have to provide more than $100,000 each in coverage to two passengers who suffered "gruesome" injuries when their hot air balloon touched a power line, a federal appeals court said Friday, affirming a lower court ruling.
In 2015, near the end of a balloon flight operated by Lancaster, Pennsylvania-based New Horizon Balloon Team, wind and gravity interacted to cause the balloon to move laterally and come into contact with a nearby power line, resulting in passengers Melyndia Davis and Robert Spencer suffering "gruesome" injuries, according to Friday's ruling by the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond, Virginia, in T.H.E. Insurance Co. v. Melyndia Davis; Robert Spencer, and Robert Fisher, d/b/a New Horizon Balloon Team, Todd Plank, d/b/a New Horizon Balloon Team, Mary Fisher.
T.H.E.'s coverage provided a $1 million coverage limit applicable to non-passengers, and a $100,000 per balloon passenger limit, according to the ruling.
Ms. Davis and Mr. Spencer had contended they were outside the balloon's basket when they were injured, and therefore subject to a $1 million per occurrence limit.
The district court in Baltimore awarded the insurer summary judgment, limiting its liability to $100,000 per passenger, and rejecting the plaintiffs' bad faith claims.
It was affirmed by a three-judge appeals court panel. "Applying Pennsylvania legal principles to this situation – and assuming that Davis and Spencer were outside the balloon's basket at the time of their injuries – they were nevertheless 'oriented' to the balloon and were in the process of 'alighting' therefrom.
"As a result, even if Davis and Spencer were partially or completely outside the balloon's basket at the time of their injuries, they were 'passengers' under the Policy" and subject to the $100,000 per passenger limit, said the appeals panel, in also affirming dismissal of the bad faith claim.
Attorneys in the case had no comment or did not respond to a request for comment.

Willy (Wilhelmina) Schermelé (Amsterdam, 4 augustus 1904 – aldaar, 29 maart 1995) was een Nederlands actrice, illustratrice, journaliste en schrijfster. Toen zij onderwijs op de HBS volgde, kreeg zij lessen in tekenen van leraar Vyth en schilderles van Otto Hanrath.

Biografie
In de periode tussen 1924 en 1927 trad zij op als actrice bij het gezelschap van Jan Musch in het Grand Théâtre te Amsterdam en bij de Stapperrevue. Ook speelde Willy Schermelé in Cyrano de Bergerac en Peer Gynt.

Modetekeningen voor De Telegraaf maakte zij in 1929, en later volgden bijdragen, waaronder gedichten en tekeningen, voor de kinderpagina.
Een van haar bekendste boeken (en omstreden) is Het Groote Negerboek uitgegeven door van Holkema & Warendorf omstreeks 1932; hierin staan tientallen illustraties getekend door Willy Schermelé.

Zij trad in het huwelijk met kinderboekenschrijver Henri Taal (1887-1960).

Voor 1940 tekende Willy Schermelé strips voor het Geïllustreerd Stuiversblad. Daarbij waren De avonturen van Bartje en Zwartje (1931), Kater Kwik (1932), Jaap en zijn Aap (1932), De avonturen van Kees en Kikkie (1934) en Met z'n Drieën {1936}.

Circa 1950 verscheen een serie van vier delen bij de Kempische Boekhandel in Turnhout met tekst en illustraties door Willy Schermelé bestaande uit Roodkapje, Hans en Grietje, Klein Duimpje en Sneeuwwitje.

In 1957 begon Schermelé voor de uitgeverij Mulder & Zoon de Winkie-serie, waarin 8 deeltjes verschenen. Daarna illustreerde zij voornamelijk jeugdboeken en ontwierp ansichtkaarten gebaseerd op sprookjes. Ook was zij boekbandontwerper

Thank you for all of your hard work in executing the theming for the Chandon X Seafolly PR Launch event on Seadeck. The event was managed professionally and exceeded our expectations. Our guests had a fabulous time on board and the luxury event truly brought our exciting new partnership with Seafolly to life.
To create and execute the official launch event for the collaboration between Chandon and Seafolly Australia. The partnership involved Seafolly designing a new swimwear print to feature on a bottle of Chandon that formed a part of the Chandon Summer Range.
In celebration of ChandonXSeafolly, Event Planet transformed the 'Seadeck' vessel into a floating 'coastal jungle' bursting with florals and tropical greenery set around the deck and referencing the Seafolly bottle design. Elements such as scatter cushions, bar facades, handheld fans and staff uniforms further reinforced the ChandonXSeafolly artwork and branding. A wicker swing framed in lush foliage created the perfect photo moment as the sun set behind.
Guests enjoyed an afternoon on Sydney Harbour, sipping Chandon, nibbling on canapes as well as an opportunity to preview a runway show of the new collection swimwear.

Q: Compute the product of cycles that are permutations of $S_8$ Here is the product of cycles. My textbook goes right to left multiplication. $$(1,4,5)(7,8)(2,5,7)$$
An observation here is that I don't think these cycles are disjoint and therefore they are not commutative. So far I have only done calculations with disjoint cycles so I wasn't sure how to handle this.
I calculated the permutation to be after writing the cycles out in table notation.
$$\sigma =
\begin{pmatrix}
1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 & 6 & 7 & 8\\
4 & 1 & 3 & 5 & 8 & 6 & 2 & 7
\end{pmatrix} $$
However, if I inverse the process and split $\sigma$ into cycles, I get
$$(1,4,5,8,7,2)$$
Is it because I am not multiplying product of disjoint cycles that I am not able to inverse the equation? Am I just doing this completely wrong?

A: Your answer is correct!
What seems to be bothering you is that here is more than one way to write a permutation as a product of cycles, but this is just true. The fact that your permutation can be written as one cycle $(145872)$ in no way implies that it can't be written as the product of 3. (It's true that the "disjoint cycle" decomposition is unique up to moving the factors around, but most cycle decompositions are not unique.)

A: Perhaps I should expand my comment.
You have $(145)(78)(257)$.
We can write this in disjoint cycles at sight.
We start

Well under the right cycle $1\mapsto 1$ and then under the middle cycle $1\mapsto 1$ then under the left cycle $1\mapsto 4$. So we have
$$
(14??
$$
Then under the right cycle $4\mapsto 4$ and then under the middle cycle $4\mapsto 4$ then under the left cycle $4\mapsto 5$. So we have
$$
(145??
$$
Then under the right cycle $5\mapsto 7$ and then under the middle cycle $7\mapsto 8$ then under the left cycle $8\mapsto 8$. So we have
$$
(1458???
$$
Then under the right cycle $8\mapsto 8$ and then under the middle cycle $8\mapsto 7$ then under the left cycle $7\mapsto 7$. So we have
$$
(14587??
$$
Then under the right cycle $7\mapsto 2$ and then under the middle cycle $2\mapsto 2$ then under the left cycle $2\mapsto 2$. So we have
$$
(145872??
$$
Then under the right cycle $2\mapsto 5$ and then under the middle cycle $5\mapsto 5$ then under the left cycle $5\mapsto 1$. So we are back home, and have
$$
(145872)
$$
Are there any more? Yes, there's 3, so we have
$$
(145872)(3???
$$
None of the cycles moves $3$ so we are back home and have
$$
(145872)(3)
$$
But are there any more? Yes, $6$. So we have
$$
(145872)(3)(6??
$$
None of the cycles moves $6$ so we are back home and have
$$
(145872)(3)(6)
$$
Are there any more? No, so we are done, Whew!
Note We don't write any of this down, we just fill out the answer one by one as explained.
Note For inverses we just write the cycles in reverse order once we have a permutation in disjoint-cycle form.

Q: How would I do MySQL count(*) in Doctrine2? I have the following Doctrine2 query:
$qb = $em->createQueryBuilder()
      ->select('t.tag_text, COUNT(*) as num_tags')
      ->from('CompanyWebsiteBundle:Tag2Post', 't2p')
      ->innerJoin('t2p.tags', 't')
      ->groupBy('t.tag_text')
;
$tags = $qb->getQuery()->getResult();

When run I get the following error:
[Semantical Error] line 0, col 21 near '*) as num_tags': Error: '*' is not defined.

How would I do MySQL count(*) in Doctrine2?

A: As $query->getSingleScalarResult() expects at least one result hence throws a no result exception if there are not result found so use try catch block
try{
   $query->getSingleScalarResult();
}
catch(\Doctrine\ORM\NoResultException $e) {
        /*Your stuffs..*/
}

A: You should be able to do it just like this (building the query as a string):
$query = $em->createQuery('SELECT COUNT(u.id) FROM Entities\User u');
$count = $query->getSingleScalarResult();

A: You're trying to do it in DQL not "in Doctrine 2".
You need to specify which field (note, I don't use the term column) you want to count, this is because you are using an ORM, and need to think in OOP way.
$qb = $em->createQueryBuilder()
      ->select('t.tag_text, COUNT(t.tag_text) as num_tags')
      ->from('CompanyWebsiteBundle:Tag2Post', 't2p')
      ->innerJoin('t2p.tags', 't')
      ->groupBy('t.tag_text')
;
$tags = $qb->getQuery()->getResult();

However, if you require performance, you may want to use a NativeQuery since your result is a simple scalar not an object.
