Oklahoma Okay With Fracking-Induced Earthquakes
Boy, talk about taking the short-term view!
By Susie Madrak
Classic shock doctrine: Make governments so starved for money, they'll accept risks they'd normally avoid in better times! Many parts of the country are unprepared to deal with this, mine included. There's a couple of cracks in the wall that weren't there before the 5.5 quake that struck here in 2011. Hell, it even cracked the glass on a piece of artwork I had hanging. I remember my California friends scoffed: "5.5? That's nothing."
But it's actually something in Pennsylvania, because unlike California, which has shifting faults, we're on solid granite and nothing here is built to withstand a quake. When fracking injection sets off a tremor here, the entire East Coast rings like a bell. The quake, which originated in Virginia, damaged the Washington Monument and the National Cathedral.
This massive experiment in public safety will continue as long as the states and towns are in such bad financial straits that they're willing to throw the dice. Bug, or feature?
Oklahoma typically had one to three earthquakes of magnitude 3.0 or greater annually from 1975 until 2008, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. Last year, the state had 564, far more than any other state except Alaska, as this chart shows. Nineteen of those were of at least magnitude 4.0, which is the point at which earthquakes begin to cause damage.
Seismologists aren't sure exactly how, but fracking may be be the culprit. The survey called drilling "a likely contributing factor" this spring, pointing to clusters of earthquakes in areas near wells, and earthquakes have been attributed to wells in Texas, Ohio and other parts of the country as well. Specifically, the deep disposal wells drilled to store the wastewater from fracking seem to be weakening faults and causing seismic activity for miles around, as Bryan Walsh has written. He notes that while most wells don't have any effect, and the tremors are generally weak, understanding just why some wells result in earthquakes is still a priority for the industry and for regulators. Buildings in states like Oklahoma weren't designed to withstand frequent or severe earthquakes, and if drilling companies want to overcome opposition in states like California, where the geology is unstable already, they'll have to convince the public that the seismic risks can be managed.
Meanwhile, Mike Soraghan reports that people in Oklahoma aren't especially concerned, and they think the economic benefits of drilling are worth the risks. "You get a little income from something, and you're more okay with it," one county commissioner told him.

Q: How do I ask for "at least" a size of an int in C The situation:
I have an application written in C which is resource intensive, and designed to be portable. I want to allow the compiler to select the fastest int size for the architecture, provided it is at least 32 bits.
Is it possible to select a size of "at least" 32 bits, or will the compiler optimize these kinds of things form me automatically?

A: The standard header stdint.h provides the types int_leastN_t and uint_leastN_t, where N is 8, 16, 32, and 64 (and possibly others, but these are not required). These are standard as of C99.
It also provides "fast" alternatives, aka int_fastN_t and uint_fastN_t, with the same values of N.
So, in your case, you can use int_least32_t or int_fast32_t.

A: As others have noted, the standard include files define int_fast32_t, int_least32_t, uint_fast32_t, uint_least32_t  which should likely behave as you want, but such types need to be used with extreme care.  Because of integer promotion rules, there is no way for C code to avoid using types int and unsigned int.  Further, integer literals may not always be of the types one expects.  A comparison between an int_fast32_T and the literals 0xABCD1234 or 12345u, for example, may be performed as either signed or unsigned, depending upon whether int is 16, 32, or 64 bits.  Likewise, if n is 32 bits or larger, the meaning of n &= ~0x8000; would be different on a 16-bit machine from on a larger one.
The C standard was never particularly designed to facilitate writing code which cares about integer sizes, but will nonetheless work compatibly on hardware with different sizes.  Types like int_fast32_t make it easy to write code which seems like it should be portable, but may encourage complacency with respect to all of the nasty little traps hidden in the language.

A: This question was tagged as C++ too, so here is a solution for template metaprogramming lovers like me.
Requirements

*

*A typelist type, named list here.

*A Haskell-like filter metafunction.

*A head metafunction to get the first element of a typelist.

The code
This solution automates the accepted solution (Which is just "go to stdint.h and select the most apropiate for you"). That job could be done by the compiler, couldn't it?
First list all the platform specific fastest integer types declared at <cstdint>:
using integer_types = list<std::int_fast8_t,std::int_fast16_t,
                           std::int_fast32_t,std::int_fast64_t>;

Note the list is sorted by increasing integer size.
Now define a filtering predicate. In our case, the size should be less than the size specified by the user (name it SIZE):
template<typename T>
using f = std::integral_constant<bool,sizeof(T)*CHAR_BITS <= SIZE>;

And then filter the list of integer types and get the first element of the result:
using best_integer_t = head<filter<f,integer_types>>;

Summarized solution
template<std::size_t SIZE>
struct fastest_integer_impl
{
    //Guard for the case the user specified less than one byte size:
    static constexpr const std::size_t size = SIZE >= CHAR_BITS ? size : CHAR_BITS;

    using integer_types = list<std::int_fast8_t,std::int_fast16_t,
                               std::int_fast32_t,std::int_fast64_t>;

    template<typename T>
    using f = std::integral_constant<bool,sizeof(T)*CHAR_BITS <= size>;

    using type = head<filter<f,integer_types>>;
};

template<std::size_t SIZE>
using fastest_integer = typename fastest_integer_impl<SIZE>::type;

A: fastest => align to architecture using pragma pack. Without this, in case the memory is not aligned, it would require more than one memory access.
min 32 => use int specifier - enough. This ensures 32 bits in linux across all architectures to my knowledge.

Meghan McCain is Reportedly No Longer Speaking to Anyone at 'The View'

Meghan McCain's relationship with her View co-hosts is at a breaking point. According to our friends at Page Six, McCain has become an outcast on The View now that she has finally alienated her last remaining ally, fellow conservative and former Fox & Friends host Abby Huntsman. Sources close to the situation report that the duo's "friendship has soured" because of McCain's "rude and dismissive" behavior, which has begun to affect everyone on set, even guests and audience members.
According to Page Six's Carlos Greer, McCain and Huntsman's relationship took a turn for the worse before the holidays. "They aren't speaking to each other," an insider told Page Six. "It's been about a month. None of the ladies talk to Meghan now. Abby was the last woman standing. It's bad. Meghan's so rude." A second source added that "Abby tolerates Meghan, but she doesn't genuinely like her. Their friendship has soured."
Others close to the situation reportedly echoed that sentiment, saying that McCain is "rude and dismissive" to her co-hosts and the show's guests and acts "very self-important" on set.
The off-camera tension has been apparent since The View returned from its holiday hiatus on January 6. On Tuesday — just a few minutes before McCain and Democratic candidate Sen. Elizabeth Warren butted heads over Iran — the conservative firebrand sparred with Huntsman during a discussion about John Bolton, who recently announced that he's willing to testify in the impeachment hearings. Huntsman praised Bolton's decision, saying that his "conscience" encouraged him to do "what he thinks is right, not what politically he believes or doesn't believe."
McCain vehemently disagreed, arguing that Bolton is making political moves to stir "regime change wars" around the globe. "The idea that he just went home and grew a conscience is like — maybe I've just been in politics too long," she said. "Well, I've also been in politics in my upbringing, too," fired back Huntsman. "And a lot of people have been around politics or know politics, whether you have family in it or not. This show's about opinions. My opinion is that I think he's someone that has seen a lot and knows a lot that has happened in that White House … It seems like he wants people to know what went on."

2Theological and Jurisprudential Applications
3Use of Hadith al-Badʿa against Imam ʿAli (a)
Hadith al-Bad'a
Ḥadīth al-Baḍʿa (Arabic: حديث البَضْعَة) is a prophetic hadith about Lady Fatima (a) in which the Prophet (s) describes her as "part of him," her anger and delight being his. The hadith is cited in Shiite and Sunni sources. Hadith al-Badʿa is cited as evidence for the infallibility of Lady Fatima (a), her rightfulness in the story of Fadak, and the necessity of honoring and respecting Ahl al-Bayt (a).
According to some reports in Sunni sources, the hadith was issued by the Prophet (s) during Imam ʿAli's proposal to Abu Jahl's daughter. Shiite scholars believe, however, that those reports are fake, and their transmitters are accused of fabricating hadiths and showing hostility toward Ahl al-Bayt (a).
The Text and Place
In Hadith al-Badʿa, the Prophet (s) is quoted as saying about his daughter Lady Fatima (a): "Fatima is part of me; whoever hurts her has hurt me and whoever delights her has delighted me." The same content appears in various Shiite and Sunni sources. The hadith was transmitted by Imam ʿAli (a), Ibn ʿAbbas, Abu Dharr al-Ghifari, and Lady al-Zahra herself (a).
Jalal al-Din al-Suyuti, a Sunni exegete of the Quran, believes that there is an agreement between Shias and Sunnis about the authenticity of the hadith. Fakhr al-Razi, another Sunni exegete of the Quran, cites the hadith in his interpretations of certain Quranic verses.
"Badʿa" or "bidʿa" means part of the body. Thus, when it is said that "such and such a person is badʿa minni [part of my body]" it implies the intimacy or closeness of that person to the speaker as if he or she is part of his body. The phrase "badʿa minni" appears in the words of the Prophet (s) about Imam ʿAli (a) and Imam al-Rida (a) as well.
Theological and Jurisprudential Applications
Hadith al-Badʿa is cited as evidence for certain theological theories:
Infallibility of Lady Fatima (a): theologians have cited this hadith as evidence for the infallibility of Lady al-Zahra (a). According to Ayatollah Subhani, a Shiite scholar (b. 1308 Sh/1929), these hadiths say that Fatima's delight and anger are criteria for the delight and anger of God and His Apostle. Since God is not delighted except by righteous deeds and is never satisfied by sins and disobedience, then if Lady al-Zahra (a) committed a sin, she would then be delighted by what angered God, while Hadith al-Badʿa ties God's delight with her delight.
Lady Fatima's superiority over all women of the world: Shahab al-Din al-Alusi, a Sunni exegete of the Quran (d. 1270 AH/1853-4), cites this hadith in his interpretation of the Quranic verse "And when the angels said, 'O Mary, Allah has chosen you and purified you, and He has chosen you above the world's women" to show that Lady Fatima (a) was superior to all women, including Mary.
Rightfulness of Lady Fatima in the story of Fadak: after the Prophet's demise, when she was in her deathbed, Lady al-Zahra (a) cited this hadith in a debate with Abu Bakr and Umar.
Moreover, the hadith has been cited to show the necessity of honoring Ahl al-Bayt (a), rejection of the testimony of a child for his or her father and vice versa, prohibition of marriage with one's mother or daughter, necessity of honoring one's parents, and permissibility of graves being visited by women.
Use of Hadith al-Badʿa against Imam ʿAli (a)
On some accounts, Hadith al-Badʿa was issued in the story of Imam ʿAli's proposal to Abu Jahl's daughter. According to Ibn al-Hanbal (d. 241 AH/855-6), ʿAbd Allah b. Zubayr said that ʿAli (a) expressed his interest in marriage with Abu Jahl's daughter, but when the Prophet (s) heard about this, he said: "Verily, Fatima is part of me; whoever hurts her has hurt me."
Al-Sayyid al-Murtada, a prominent Shiite theologian (d.436/1044), believes that such reports are fake. According to a hadith from Imam al-Sadiq (a), the story was fabricated. Abu Hurayra, a transmitter of this hadith, is accused of fabricating hadiths. Furthermore, Husayn al-Karabisi and Miswar b. Makhrama al-Zuhari, other transmitters of the hadith, are described as unreliable transmitters, whose hadiths have been rejected. Al-Sayyid al-Murtada believes that al-Karabisi was a Nasibi who showed hostility toward Ahl al-Bayt (a). In his view, if the story were authentic, Imam ʿAli's enemies, including Banu Umayya and their supporters, would use it to damage his reputation.
Jaʿfar Murtada al-ʿAmili (d. 1441/2019), a researcher of Islamic history, believes that reports about Imam ʿAli's proposal to Abu Jahl's daughter are contradictory. In addition, he presents thirteen arguments against the authenticity of the story.

Question: Do you support or oppose expanding programs that provide aid to low-income families who cannot afford to pay utility bills?
PSC #2: Valerie McMurtry (D): Support
Customers of NorthWestern Energy pay some of the highest rates in the northwest. No one should have to choose between food, heat, or medicine. It is unconscionable that we, Montanans are supporting record profits of shareholders of NWE.
PSC #2: Tony O'Donnell (R): Did Not Respond
PSC #3: James Brown (R): Support
PSC #3: Tom Woods (D): Support
You bet I'm for expanding programs that provide aid to low income families who can not afford their utility bills. That's why as a legislator I wrote and sponsored HB 737 . This bill would divert utility company profits in excess of 8.5% to fund these programs. I think it's sensible policy.
PSC #4: Jennifer Fielder (R): Support
I support expanding programs that provide aid to low-income families. Everybody should have enough energy to live comfortably and provide the basic necessities for their family. I especially support lowering the cost of energy and allowing people to generate their own energy, as well as educational programs which emphasize wise energy use.
PSC #4: Monica Tranel (D): Support
The Montana Commission has implemented a number of low income programs over the years. These programs should be continued. They should also be reviewed to determine how they are working and if they can be expanded. Additionally, I would work to make programs that reduce energy use, through conservation and on-site generation like rooftop solar panels, accessible to all Montanans regardless of income.
Question: Do you support programs intended to improve the energy efficiency of housing stock for low-income Montanans through improvements such as insulation, windows, efficient heat, and more?
PSC #2: Valerie McMurtry (D): Yes
All people should not be at risk for freezing or suffering in their homes due to inadequate insulation or leaking windows.
PSC #3: James Brown (R): Yes
PSC #3: Tom Woods (D): Yes
Of course we should make housing more energy efficient. We should make ALL homes more efficient. Wasting energy is a bad idea no matter what your income level may be.
PSC #4: Jennifer Fielder (R): Yes
Yes, very much so! It is not that difficult to include energy efficient measures into homes, especially new buildings as they are being constructed. Energy efficient insulation, windows, heating and cooling systems can make a world of difference in the cost of energy, the livability of a home, and the health and happiness of a family.
PSC #4: Monica Tranel (D): Yes
Programs to help low income families conserve energy or generate their own energy can help families reduce costs and make ends meet. When Montana families conserve energy, they will save money and have more funds to help meet other basic needs. Those programs need to be made stronger and more comprehensive, and the PSC can and should work across sectors, including with energy businesses and the MT Legislature to lead that effort. For example, right now, Montana families can get a tax credit for the investments they make in conservation or in-home generation. But the way the credits work means that only families with higher incomes can take full advantage of them. I support reforming those credits so that they have the same value to low income families as they do to everyone else.

WASHINGTON, D.C., November 20, 2003 – Based upon a survey recently conducted by TALX Corporation, employers expect significantly higher unemployment payroll taxes in 2004.
A majority of the respondents (59.5%) indicated that they were "extremely concerned" about how states will respond to their depleted unemployment insurance trust funds. Fully 25% of the respondents indicated that they have budgeted for 20% or higher unemployment tax increases, with another 11% of the surveyed employers budgeting for increases of 11% or higher. Only a handful, 1.2%, indicated their companies were not concerned. More information on the survey results is available at www.ucexpress.com/survey/.

2018 Steelers Pre-Training Camp Roster Review: Inside Linebacker
By Matthew Marczi
Posted on July 10, 2018 at 7:00 am
The last time that we took a look back at the Pittsburgh Steelers' roster in review, it was weeks before the 2018 NFL Draft took place. It would be safe to say that quite a bit has changed since then, and the changes apply to almost every position on the roster, some major changes, some minor.
We are closing in on the opening of the Steelers' several weeks of training camp at Saint Vincent College in Latrobe, however, so it would be a good time to pause and take stock of where the team stands at each position as we head into the most critical process of the offseason.
Position: Inside Linebacker
Total Positional Figure: 8
Additions: 1
Deletions: 0
Players Retained:
Ryan Shazier [Reserve/PUP]: Just because he won't be on the field doesn't mean Shazier won't be a big part of what the Steelers do and are about. He will be serving what is likely to be a multitude of roles this season, including coach and scout.
Vince Williams: Williams is the only carryover starter at the position from last season, and he only inherited that job a year ago. He did have some success, particularly as a blitzer with his eight sacks, and he even picked off Tom Brady, but the team still views him as limited, which is why they take him off in sub-packages.
Tyler Matakevich: It was Matakevich who ran with the first-team defense during the spring. What and how much that means is in the eye of the beholder at least until we get to training camp, but as least verbally, the Steelers have indicated that they see him as a legitimate candidate to start.
Jon Bostic: If not Matakevich, of course, it will be Jon Bostic, whom they signed in free agency. We know his background, but he is a solid tackler and a vocal leader, even when he is the new face in the room. He will definitely get first-team reps. Whether or not he starts remains to be seen.
L.J. Fort: Fort has been around for a number of years now, but his grip on a roster spot has always been tenuous, and this year will be no different. The team does like his coverage ability though, and without Shazier, he may actually be the best they have there.
Matt Galambos: Galambos was one of two college free agents who stuck last year at the position, and he appears to be the favorite of the two. I believe he took some second-team reps in the spring.
Keith Kelsey: Kelsey has a lot of names ahead of him right now. He was the second choice for the practice squad, and will have even more competition this time.
Players Added:
Matthew Thomas: That competition, assuming he doesn't make the 53-man roster, is Matthew Thomas, a rookie college free agent who has intriguing talent. The team has reported given him a 'long look' this spring to see what they have in him.
Players Lost: N/A
Notes and Camp Outlook:
I think it's safe to say that this is the position on the team that offers the most training camp intrigue, as well as anxiety. A position battle for a starting job should be up for grabs. The number four and possible fifth spots are wide open as well, and I think they'd like to see Thomas take one of them.

Neil Armstrong Wiki Biography
Neil Alden Armstrong was the first human being to ever walk on the surface of the Moon. Neil Armstrong was an American Astronaut, who born and raised in Wapakoneta, Ohio, U.S. Not to mention him being a professor in university, he was also an aerospace engineer. Armstrong was born August 5th 1930 and sadly, he passed away on August 25th 2012. At the time of death Neil Armstrong was 82 years old. The cause of his death was said to be the blockage of one of his arteries. When Neil was young, he was quite an active guy. In his young days he served in the Navy. Neil was involved in the Korean War. During his Navy years he worked as a test pilot.
Neil Armstrong Net Worth $3 Million
This gave Armstrong the access to a lot of advanced prototype aircrafts. That was until he decided to become an astronaut. It was because of this experience in the Navy that gave Neil the opportunity to join NASA, when he volunteered for NASA Astronaut Corp. Armstrong was on to NASA missions to space as a NASA astronaut. He was on Gemini 8 and Apollo 11. The latter was his landing on the Moon. The exact date when he stepped out onto the surface was 21th of July in 1969. After the landing on the Moon Neil went on working as a professor teaching his students for 8 years before his resignation at the well-known University of Cincinnati. Not only that, Neil worked for NASA even after he ended his career as a professional astronaut – he served as an accident investigator for NASA. Speaking about his personal life, Armstrong was married to Carol Held Knight. Neil Armstrong's net worth is estimated to be $3 million.
Neil Alden Armstrong is also the author of probably the most famous quote to ever reach the planet Earth. When Apollo 11 landed on the surface of the Moon, Neil Armstrong proudly said "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind." Actually, the authentic quote is missing an article "a" which gives the quote completely different meaning linguistically. Armstrong is not only famous worldwide because of this quote. There are a lot of other activities he had taken up on in his life that made him even more wealthy. He didn't obtain all of his wealth just by being an astronaut and being in space, or teaching his students. The famous astronaut also endorsed such brands as Chrysler, Bankers Association of America, General Time Corporation. He was also known as a public speaker as well as a board member of quite a few corporate boards. These include Marathon Oil, United Airlines, Taft Broadcasting, Eaton Corporation as well as Learjet. We can clearly see that Neal used his knowledge in every way possible by exploring all of his options in life and trying various professions that made him rich. Neil Alden Armstrong died being a millionaire and one of the best known people in history of NASA and all around the world.

1 In my mind, the important thing was that we got four aluminum legs safely down on the surface of the moon while we were still inside the craft. To me, there wasn't a lot of difference between having ten feet of leg between the bottom of the spacecraft in which we were standing and the surface of the moon, and having one inch of neoprene rubber or plastic on the bottom of our boots touching the lunar surface.
2 [commenting of the feasibility of a manned mission to Mars] I suspect that even though the various questions are difficult and many, they are not as difficult and many as those we faced when we started the Apollo (space program) in 1961.
3 The important achievement of Apollo was demonstrating that humanity is not forever chained to this planet and our visions go rather further than that and our opportunities are unlimited.
4 Yeah, I wasn't chosen to be first. I was just chosen to command that flight. Circumstance put me in that particular role. That wasn't planned by anyone.
5 Houston, Tranquillity Base here. The Eagle has landed. [First message to the Earth from the Apollo 11 lunar module Eagle after landing on the Moon, 20 July 1969]
6 It suddenly struck me that that tiny pea, pretty and blue, was the Earth. I put up my thumb and shut one eye, and my thumb blotted out the planet Earth. I didn't feel like a giant. I felt very, very small.
7 That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind. [First words spoken on the moon. The speech as written by his wife read, "That's one small step for a man, a giant leap for mankind". Unfortunately, he forgot the a in the between for and man, thus changing the meaning.]
1 Inducted into the U.S. Astronaut Hall of Fame in 1993.
2 Inducted into the International Space Hall of Fame in 1976.
3 Inducted into the International Aerospace Hall of Fame in 1966.
4 Inducted into the National Aviation Hall of Fame in 1979.
5 Honorary member of the American Society of Cinematographers (ASC).
6 In 1979, while working on his farm in Lebanon, Ohio, he jumped off a grain tractor and his wedding ring was caught in the wheel, severing his ring finger. He managed to calmly collect the finger, pack it ice and had it reattached by micro surgeons at the Jewish Hospital in Louisville, Kentucky.
7 He stopped signing autographs in 1994 after finding that many of his signatures were selling for significant amounts of money, and that there were several forgeries in circulation. Since then any requests that were sent to him were answered with a form letter stating that he had stopped signing autographs.
8 In 2005, he became embroiled in a bizarre legal dispute with his longtime barber, Marx Sizemore. Armstrong alleged that after cutting some of his hair, Sizemore sold it to a collector for $3000.00 (US) without his knowledge or consent. Armstrong demanded that if Sizemore did not either return the hair in question or donate the proceeds to a charity of Armstrong's choice, he would take legal action against him. Since Sizemore could not get the hair back, he donated the proceeds to the charity of Armstrong's choosing.
9 For the record, it was Neil Armstrong's left foot that first made contact with the surface of the moon.
10 A crater on the moon is named Armstrong after him.
11 Has three children: Eric (born 1957), Karen (1959-1961) and Mark (born 1963).
12 The first man to walk on the Moon also holds the record for the greatest distance between target landing area and actual landing: in March 1966, Gemini 8 came down near Okinawa, but the intended target was the Caribbean, a distance of at least eight and a half thousand miles (13,000+ km).
13 On July 20, 1969, at 10:56 pm EDT, he stepped down from the Lunar Excursion Module Eagle and became the first man to set foot on the moon.
14 NASA realized after the Apollo 11 mission had returned to Earth that they had no good pictures of the First Man on the Moon to show to the world. Astronaut Buzz Aldrin said later: "As the sequence of lunar operations evolved, Neil had the camera most of the time, and the majority of pictures taken on the Moon that include an astronaut are of me. It wasn't until we were back on Earth and in the lunar receiving laboratory, looking over the pictures, that we realized there were few pictures of Neil. My fault, perhaps, but we had never simulated this in our training.".
15 Received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 7021 Hollywood Boulevard and Vine Street in Hollywood, California on January 14, 1993.
16 Astronauts Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin planted a plaque on the lunar surface on July 20, 1969. It reads: "Here men from the planet Earth first set foot upon the Moon, July 1969 AD. We came in peace for all mankind.".
17 Is a Brother of Phi Delta Theta Fraternity.
18 NASA Astronaut. Selected in the second group of astronauts. Flew jets during Korean War. Flew X-15 rocket plane. On Gemini 8 in 1966, he flew with Dave Scott conducting the first docking of a manned vehicle with an Agena target vehicle. On Apollo 11 in 1969, with Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins, became the first men to land on the moon. Retired from NASA in 1970.

WEDNESDAY, Aug. 15, 2018 (HealthDay News) -- Scottish scientists say they've found new clues to why some kidney transplants fail.
It has to do with the amount of "wear and tear" a transplanted kidney has and how that affects its work in the recipient, the new study says.
"This isn't just clinically important, but is also relevant to how we age and how we can maintain good health in old age," Shiels said.
"By using the signature set of genes from this study to identify less resilient organs before they meet a new recipient immune system, transplant stress could be reduced and outcomes improved," he concluded.
About 10 to 12 percent of adults worldwide have chronic kidney disease, which can lead to kidney failure and the need for either dialysis or a kidney transplant.
The study was published Aug. 13 in the journal Aging Cell.
The National Kidney Foundation has more on kidney transplants (https://www.kidney.org/atoz/content/kidney-transplant ).

Das Chartered Company Memorial in der malaysischen Stadt Sandakan ist ein Denkmal, das die North Borneo Chartered Company für ihre im Dienst gestorbenen oder getöteten Angestellten gegen Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts errichten ließ. Das Denkmal ist Teil des Sandakan Heritage Trails, einem "Denkmalpfad", der die historischen Sehenswürdigkeiten Sandakans verbindet.

Beschreibung des Denkmals
Das Denkmal hat die Form eines Keltenkreuzes auf einem vierfach abgestuften rechteckigen Sockel. Die Frontplatten sowie die Seitenplatten tragen Inschriften mit den Namen verstorbener Beamter der Chartered Company. Die Frontseite wurde durch Aufsetzen von matten Steintafeln renoviert. Dabei wurde das Schriftbild leicht modernisiert. Die Gedenkinschrift der Vorderseite lautet:

Die Errichtung des Denkmals liegt zwischen 1885 und 1890.

Bei der Renovierung der Gedenkinschrift hat sich ein Fehler eingeschlichen. Die Jahreszahl "1883" für die Ermordung von Dr. Manson Fraser und Asa Sing Jemadhar ist nicht korrekt. Vielmehr fand der tödliche Angriff in Kawang am 12. Mai 1885 statt.

Zum Gedenken an den im März 1883 bei einer Expedition am Sungai Segama verunglückten Frank Hatton kündigte die North Borneo Chartered Company kurz nach dessen Tod die Aufstellung eines Gedenksteines an. Neben den Verdiensten Hattons als Entdecker und Geologe der Company war der Plan möglicherweise auch dem Umstand geschuldet, dass die Leiche Hattons entgegen dem Wunsch der Familie nicht nach England überführt wurde. Auch Franz Xavier Witti, ein anderer Pionier und Entdecker der Chartered Company, der bereits im Juni 1882 am Sungai Sibuko von einem Stamm der Murut getötet worden war, sollte auf dem Denkmal geehrt werden.

Kurz vor der Fertigstellung seines Buches North Borneo – Explorations and Adventures on the Equator im Jahr 1885, erfuhr der Vater von Frank Hatton, dass sich die Pläne der Gesellschaft geändert hatten:

Nach dem Willen der Offiziellen sollten nun auch Dr. D. Manson Fraser, Captain A.M. de Fontaine und Jemadhar Asa Singh ihren Platz auf der Gedenktafel unter dem Steinkreuz finden. Spätestens ab diesem Zeitpunkt war die Funktion des Keltenkreuzes als Denkmal für die im Dienst der Chartered Company gestorbenen Männer festgelegt. William Hood Treacher, der Gouverneur von Nordborneo notierte in seinen 1891 erschienenen Erinnerungen: "Ein Gedenkkreuz für Witti, Hatton, de Fontaine und die Offiziere und Soldaten der Sikh, die ihr Leben im Dienste der Regierung verloren, wurde in Sandakan errichtet".

Aufstellungsort
Alte Bilder des Regierungsgebäudes zeigen das Keltenkreuz an exponierter Stelle vor dem Distrikt Office. Auch auf Abbildungen aus dem Nachlass der amerikanischen Dokumentarfilmer Osa Johnson und Martin Johnson ist das Denkmal vor dem Regierungsgebäude, entlang der Straße zu sehen. Bilder aus den 1960er Jahren zeigen, dass sich der Platz seither nicht verändert hatte. Während des Baus des neuen kommunalen Verwaltungsgebäudes war das Denkmal eingelagert. Seinen heutigen Platz auf dem "MPS Square" fand das Denkmal zusammen mit dem William Pryer Memorial nach der Umgestaltung des hier vormals befindlichen, ehemaligen Hockeyfeldes.

Björksund Slott is a castle in Tystberga, Nyköpings kommun, Södermanland, south of Stockholm.
Björksund located at Sibbofjärden, northeast of Nyköping. The estate covers 4,700 hectares and large areas of the archipelago. It also manages a number of properties in Nyköping. The main building was built in the Baroque style, designed by Joseph Gabriel Destain. Additions in the 1740s were by Carl Hårleman.
Björksund at first belonged to the Grip family, but came in the late Middle Ages through marriage to the Privy Councilor Göran Eriksson Gyllenstierna of Fågelvik. The estate remained in his family until 1776, when it partly by purchase passed to Count Carl Gabriel Mörner, heir to the Privy Council and the Marshal of the Realm Göran Gyllenstierna. As of 2014 the owner was Nils Mörner.

Q: A comilation error of a forName method Why does the following snippet of code gives a compile-time error?  The compiler shows "Unhandled exception type ClassNotFoundException".
 public class ClassObjectTest {
        public static void main(String[] args) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            Class s=Class.forName("java.lang.Thread");
        }
    }

A: I guess you are mixing something. Your piece of code cannot be compiled because the method Class.forName(className) might throw an exception ClassNotFoundException if for the passed class name no class can be found in the current class path.
If you compile your code you get this compilation error
error: unreported exception ClassNotFoundException; must be caught or declared to be thrown

which means:

*

*either you put the method call into an try-catch block
try {
    Class s = Class.forName("java.lang.Thread");
} catch (ClassNotFoundException ex) {
    // do your exception handling here
}

*or you declare the method (in your example the mainmethod) to throw this exception
public static void main(String[] args) throws ClassNotFoundException {
    Class s = Class.forName("java.lang.Thread");
}

A: Try Like This
public class ClassDemo {

   public static void main(String[] args) {

     try {
        Class cls = Class.forName("ClassDemo");

        // returns the ClassLoader object
        ClassLoader cLoader = cls.getClassLoader();

        /* returns the Class object associated with the class or interface
        with the given string name, using the given classloader. */
        Class cls2 = Class.forName("java.lang.Thread", true, cLoader);

        // returns the name of the class
        System.out.println("Class = " + cls.getName());
        System.out.println("Class = " + cls2.getName());
     }
     catch(ClassNotFoundException ex) {
        System.out.println(ex.toString());
     }
   }
}

A:     public class ClassObjectTest {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        try {
            Class<?> s = Class.forName("java.lang.Thread");

            System.out.println(s.getName());
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

It works, but you have to sorround with try catch. The ouput generates "java.lang.Thread".
I hope this was helpful for you.

William F. Wright House, Springfield, Mass
July 20, 2017 by Derek Strahan
The house at 15 Churchill Street in Springfield, around 1938-1939. Image courtesy of the Springfield Preservation Trust.
This house was built in 1898 for William F. Wright, although he does not appear to have lived here long, because by 1902 it was the home of attorney Wallace R. Heady, his wife Sarah, and their two young children, Joseph and Mary. Prior to moving into this house, he and Sarah had two other children, but they died young, just six months apart in 1898 and 1899. They would go on to have three more children, but Sarah died of tuberculosis in 1907, only a few months after their youngest child was born.
By the 1910 census, Heady was living here with the five children, his mother Elvira, and a 16 year old Irish servant. He was still working as a lawyer at the time, but in 1914 he was appointed as a judge for the Police Court of Springfield, which later became the District Court of Springfield. In the meantime, his oldest surviving child, Joseph, also became a lawyer. His education was interrupted by World War I, when he left high school to serve in the Navy, but after the war he graduated from high school and subsequently received his law degree from Boston University.
Wallace Heady served as a judge for 22 years, until his resignation in 1936 at the age of 71. His decision was prompted by Governor James Michael Curley's newly-established policy requiring judges over the age of 70 to undergo physical and mental evaluations. Rather than submitting to an examination, he tendered his resignation, and he made his reasons very clear in his letter to Governor Curley.
When the first photo was taken in the late 1930s, Heady was still living here in this house, but he died a few years later in 1942. The house was subsequently sold, and at some point the wood shingles and clapboards on the exterior walls were replaced with asbestos shingles. Otherwise, though, the house retains its 19th century appearance, and in 1982 it became part of the Forest Park Heights Historic District on the National Register of Historic Places.

Water Quality Research
Pima County » Government » Geographic Information Systems » Report on the Regional Digital Orthophoto Project
Report on the Regional Digital Orthophoto Project
Projects and Uses of the data
Other GIS data layers available
Regional Data Center
New orthophoto coverage
In April 1998, the Pima Association of Governments (PAG) and the local jurisdictions contracted for a high quality orthophoto coverage of 578 square miles in the Tucson urbanized area (includes Marana, Oro Valley, Sahuarita and Green Valley). Combined with on-the-ground verification, an aerial flight at about 3600 feet captured the images and related data necessary to generate an ortho- rectified coverage for the region. As a general description, ortho-rectified images provide the detail of a high resolution aerial photograph in the spatial accuracy of a map, all in digital form.
Two primary contractors were involved: Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) for data collection and processing, and DTM, Inc.for quality assurance/quality control. The total cost of the project was about $2.3 million. About $132,000 was added to the original contract to enhance or add coverage for Oro Valley, Tucson Airport Authority and the City of Tucson. Data products were delivered through November 1999 and distributed to the jurisdictions, and those products are now being used in project applications.
The project has generated considerable interest for several reasons:
The high resolution of the data,
The vertical and horizontal accuracy,
The extensive topographic coverage,
The ability to merge the data products with other existing Geographic Information System (GIS) data layers.
The potential uses of the data span numerous disciplines (transportation, air quality, hydrology, land use planning, etc).
For each section in the project area, the data products include
orthophoto imagery,
topographic data files,
geodetic control points.
The imagery is provided both as grayscale (black and white) image files and as multispectral (red, green, blue, and near-infrared bands) images. The grayscale imagery is provided in 1, 2, 4, 8, and 16 foot resolutions. One foot resolution generally means that an image measuring at least one square foot on the ground may be visible in that orthophoto image. The multispectral imagery is provided in 1 meter resolution.
The topographic data files are provided in either Digital Terrain Models (DTMs) or Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) for each section. DTMs are represented as contour lines at 2' intervals, and were created for about 338 sections, primarily in the City of Tucson and Town of Oro Valley. DEMs are represented as points (points are spaced 30 feet apart, with 48 points per acre), and they cover the remaining 240 square miles.
Planimetric control is provided by Global Positioning System (GPS) points established on the ground plus aerotriangulation processing by SAIC. For horizontal accuracy, 95% of all planimetric features are accurate to within 2 feet of their true coordinate position. The remaining 5% are displaced by no more than 4 feet. For vertical accuracy, 90% of all elevations are within 1 foot of their true elevation. The other 10% of the elevations have no more than a 2 foot error.
Users are just beginning to identify the numerous applications of the data.
The City of Tucson has been using the high resolution ortho imagery for an inventory of transportation-related facilities (including street lights), and the multispectral imagery for vegetation analysis and in determining impervious vs. pervious areas.
Pima County used the DEM topographic coverage in ArcInfo format for a site planning project in the Tucson Mountains, and in a slope analysis for determining compliance with their hillside development zone ordinance.
Oro Valley is using the DTM coverage for analyzing open space set asides in proposed master planned developments.
The Town of Marana has identified possible applications for analyzing illegal grading and subdivision activity, and to assist in analyzing impacts of proposed rezonings. Also, new developments and additions can be matched with building permits and compared with tax assessor records.
Other uses being considered by local agencies include:
right of way and road alignment
transportation network inventory and analysis
preliminary design studies
gridded emissions of air pollutants
change detection (if subsequent updates to the coverage are provided)
flood control and hydrology studies
habitat mapping
vegetation classification
land use identification
Orthophotos are one of the most important base layers of data for GIS systems. Many other data layers can be overlaid with the orthophoto to visually check true location. For instance, one of the major GIS projects undertaken by Pima County is a rectification of the parcel land base to match their position on the ground. Once the parcel base is adjusted to fit the orthophotos, other GIS coverages will follow. They include the transportation network, jurisdictional boundaries, floodplains, zoning, land use, demographic-related coverages and numerous others. The result of this will be a comprehensive, spatially-corrected set of coverages for use in numerous applications throughout the region.
In July 2000, PAG launched the web-based Regional Data Center (RDC), an interactive mapping site. The RDC is housed within PAG's existing web site, and serves as the clearinghouse for the orthophoto data and other regional GIS coverages (including the parcel base, street network, jurisdictional boundaries, etc.). It allows users to view the orthophotos and other GIS data, perform on-line analysis, create customized maps, and order the digital orthophoto files and the topographic data files. As such, the RDC serves as a primary point-of-contact for the general public and the private sector for acquiring the orthophoto products. PAG contracted with Veridian/ERIM International for the design and development of the data center. Additional GIS coverages, data and applications will be available in 2001, particularly for Census 2000 data.
Despite its accuracy and resolution, the data does have some potential misuses and limitations. For instance, the ortho images and derived topography were gathered in April 1998. Grading that has occurred since then will obviously limit the use of DEM or DTM coverage for that area, unless updated digital topographic data is captured for the disturbed area. Also, the DTM files are provided in 2 foot contours. Re-interpreting those data files to generate smaller contour intervals (i.e. 1 foot) should be avoided. Also, overlaying GIS layers, with different map projections, onto the ortho images will result in misaligned coverages.
Outreach and education will be the next critical steps in the project. Public and private sector users alike need to be informed of all the products available, as well as data formats, software and hardware requirements, and potential uses. It will also be critical to advise users of the limitations and potential misuses of the data.
Several training sessions to address these and other topics were held in April, and will continue on a regular basis. The Southern Arizona GIS consortium (SAGIS) will be used as a vehicle to inform potential users of the availability of the data.
Another orthophoto flight is underway for the region. PAG, in conjunction with the member jurisdictions and the Arizona Department of Transportation, has contracted with Merrick and Company of Aurora, Colorado for a flight covering 670 square miles, including a re-flight of the towns of Marana and Oro Valley. Grayscale imagery will be generated in ½ foot resolution, with DTM's and two foot contours created for the majority of the coverage area. The combined 1998 and 2000 coverages result in ortho products for nearly 1,200 square miles in the Tucson region.
The technical advisory committee identified numerous reasons for updating and expanding the coverage, including the following applications:
regional conservation planning projects
hillside development zone compliance
coordination with Census 2000 for a complete description of the region
change detection and analysis (for land use and vegetation changes)
