Inclusion of a "bioengineered" or "derived from bioengineering" symbol alongside a sunny plant and farm field. USDA decided not use the bioengineered symbols from its proposed rule, which mimicked a happy, smiling sun, but its new symbol is not a major improvement.
Notification through a QR barcode. Despite widespread criticism that using a QR code will discriminate against the elderly and poor who may not have smartphones, the Department has provided that as an option.
A phone number to text that will reply back with information. Many are concerned about the privacy aspect of this requirements, as this provision would require concerned consumers to disclose their private contact information to food companies.
Many advocates urged USDA to require only the last option, but under the final rule food companies are only required to choose one, making it easy to continue to hide GE ingredients from consumers.
Perhaps most concerning is how narrowly USDA decided to define foods subject to GE disclosure. For instance, if a food product has multiple ingredients, but the first product on the ingredient list is either meat, poultry, eggs, broth, stock or water, even if other ingredients in the product are GE, USDA will not require GE disclosure. Further, food products containing "refined" GE ingredients (such as oil from GE soybeans, or candy bars with high fructose corn syrup from GE corn) will not require disclosure as long as the refining process is "validated" by USDA.
Taken as a whole, many advocates are uncertain that consumers are now better off than before the weak and controversial bill was signed into law by President Obama in 2016.
Fearing consumer backlash, even large food companies are speaking out against the final rule. Sustainable Food Policy Alliance, which includes Danone, Mars, Nestle, and Unilever, wrote in a statement "The standards fall short of consumer expectations, and the practices of leading food companies, particularly when it comes to how we are already disclosing highly-refined ingredients and the threshold for disclosure." While big food retailers are upset, organizations such as the American Farm Bureau Federation, which represents the companies that develop and produce GE crops, were pleased with the final version of the rules.
The passage of mandatory GE labeling came prior to the implementation of Vermont's landmark legislation, after it survived a court challenge from many of the industrial food companies now opposed to USDA's requirements. Senators Stabenow (D-MI) and Pat Roberts (R-KS) struck a deal that ultimately resulted in these predictably weak, anti-consumer provisions.
Beyond Pesticides and many other advocates for GE labeling are primarily concerned about the health impacts of consuming products awash in pesticide residue, and believe consumers have a right to avoid products produced as part of a highly toxic GE agriculture system. Herbicide-tolerant GE crops have been associated with massive increases in herbicide use and the rampant takeover of U.S. farms by weeds which, through incessant herbicide spray, have themselves developed genes to resist herbicide effects. Glyphosate, the most common herbicide developed to be sprayed on GE plants, has decreased in effectiveness. Now, chemical companies are using older herbicides like 2,4-D and dicamba that rival glyphosate's toxicity. Chemical companies have also incorporated insecticides into the crop itself, with evidence that resistance in target pests is trending synthetic insecticide use upwards.
The fact remains that the sort of techno-utopia of plant drought and disease resistance, increased vitamin content, and the like promised by agrichemical companies that develop GE crops has never been widely commercialized. Critics maintain that the main goal of GE crops is not to solve real agricultural problems, but instead to increase sales of seeds and pesticides, and companies' profits and stock prices. Why else would they want to keep consumers in the dark?
For more information on the health and environmental impacts of herbicide tolerant and insecticide incorporated GE agriculture, see Beyond Pesticides GE program pages.

Man, woman killed when tree smashes into car.
North Carolina authorities say a car smashed into a tree felled by Hurricane Michael, killing two people and bringing the total death toll from the storm to 13.
McDowell County Emergency Management Director William Kehle says the accident happened about 7:30 p.m. Thursday in Marion.
Michael also claimed the life of one man around 1 p.m. on Thursday when a tree fell on his car in Iredell County.
Flash floods receded overnight, according to Cooper's office, leaving behind thousands of fallen trees, and some rising rivers. The Dan and Yadkin rivers are forecast to crest out of their banks Friday and Saturday.
Almost 100 people were rescued on Thursday from flash floods in Guilford, Forsyth, Iredell, Henderson, Burke, McDowell and other counties, Cooper's office said. In the wake of the storm, 31 school districts were closed on Friday.
North Carolina is cleaning up from Hurricane Michael, the second major storm to rip through the state in a month.
State emergency officials said Friday that utility and transportation workers were out restoring power to 460,000 homes and businesses and reopening about 360 roads largely blocked by trees, debris or power lines.
Cooper urged the public to stay safe while damage is inspected and not to drive around road barriers. Many of the 40 deaths in North Carolina during Hurricane Florence were of drivers who got caught in floodwaters. There has been one storm-related death confirmed in the state from Michael.
Cooper planned later Friday to visit damaged areas in the Piedmont. The governor said it wasn't clear whether there was enough overall damage to qualify for federal aid to help with the cleanup. Congress already has approved $1 billion for North Carolina's response to Florence.
U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency Administrator Brock Long says he expects the death toll from Hurricane Michael to climb because teams haven't gotten to the hardest-hit areas in Florida.
Long said Friday he's worried people didn't evacuate along Mexico Beach or from other devastated locations and may not have survived.
Long said "very few people" live to tell what it's like to experience a high storm surge. The waters rose about 14 feet (4 meters), pushing buildings aside.
The FEMA director says the country doesn't learn enough from past storms, and he's concerned that residents will suffer from "hurricane amnesia" when blue skies return.
He said it's critically important to heed evacuation warnings and to build their homes cautiously and have the proper flood and damage insurance necessary to live in hurricane zones.
Long said he'd be traveling to Florida this weekend.
Authorities haven't seen the mass casualties they once feared from Hurricane Michael, but they expect the death toll to rise as search-and-rescue teams make their way through Florida neighborhoods smashed to pieces . The storm also has brought flash flooding to hurricane-weary parts of the Carolinas and Virginia.
Top winds: 155 mph (250 kph), strong enough to completely destroy homes and cause weekslong power outages.
The human cost: Virginia had five storm related deaths, including two people who were swept away from their vehicles by floodwaters; four people were killed in Gadsden County, Florida, near Tallahassee; three people died in North Carolina, one man from a falling tree and two others whose car smashed into a tree felled by the storm; and an 11-year-old girl in Seminole County, Georgia was killed when a carport blew through the roof of her grandparents' home.
Damage estimates: Boston-based Karen Clark & Company, an insurance company that produces models for catastrophes, is estimating Hurricane Michael caused about $8 billion in insured losses. It includes the privately insured wind and storm surge damage to residential, commercial and industrial properties and automobiles. The figure does not include losses covered by the National Flood Insurance Program.


Little books about little writing are everywhere these days. The one that I can't put down right now is Verlyn Klinkenborg's Several short sentences about writing. This book takes on the dogmata of writing instruction in both its substance (outlining is overrated–gasp!) and its style (poetic prose or prose-like poetry; whatever it is, it's more fun to read than a standard "how to write better" manual).
Sentences that are trying too hard to sound like what an expert would write? Yes, we've definitely got those.
Sentences with unintentional repetition and other unpleasing rhythms? Yes, got those too.
Sentences that are overly long with no good reason to be that way? Check.
Try reading your work aloud.
And because the eye can't see rhythm or hear unwanted repetition.
But how should you read aloud?
Or merely fulfilling a rote obligation.
An imaginary listener seated not too far away.
That way your attention isn't only on the words you're reading.
it's on the transmission of those words.
As you read aloud, catch the rhythm of the sentences without overemphasizing it.
You be the listener, not another person.
This idea of stopping is integral to his major theme about writing: notice things. You don't need training in grammatical or rhetorical jargon just to notice something is or isn't working in your sentences. Something "sounds funny." You'll feel a "subtle disturbance," a "faint stirring." And when this happens, stop. And fix the problem.
There is a longer-term benefit to reading your work out loud as well, the book points out. Consistently reading your work out loud will "help you discern the underlying texture of your prose." The act of reading out loud demonstrates the reader's understanding, or lack thereof: "[h]ow well you read aloud reveals how well you understand the syntax of a sentence." And understanding the syntax of the sentence is a key toward being able to manage the shape of future sentences you will write and edit.
To be able to do these three things, writers need to start by just noticing what the writing is doing. Listening to the sound of your own writing is one way to notice.
Lawyers, law students, and legal professionals: have you ever read your work out loud? Why did you get started and how do you do it? Some readers may have tried this practice but stopped. Does Klinkenborg's approach persuade you to try again? Please share your comments, experiences, and advice on reading your work out loud as a writing and editing practice.
I'm new to your blog, & I want to comment you for it. The title and contents are excellent conceits and very worthwhile. As to this particular post, I've just finished Peter Elbow's Vernacular Eloquence: What Speech Can Bring to Writing. It seems that he and Klinkenborg are on the same page. Elbow argues for relying on voice for drafts and that we should read our work aloud when revising. I'd done this haphazardly in the past, but with Elbow's book & your blog post, I've made a commitment to making it a regular practice. Thanks, and keep up the good work.

In December 2017, 31-year-old Jane Doe 6 was trying to get home from a holiday party about 1 a.m. in West Hollywood, California.
She took an Uber, drifting in and out of consciousness during the course of the ride, at one point vomiting on the side of the road. She awoke and found the Uber driver sexually assaulting her, the lawsuit claims.
The driver dropped her off one block away from her house, according to the complaint. She filed a police report one week later. The driver was arrested on December 23, 2017 and charged with digital penetration and oral copulation, according to the lawsuit.

Rudess, Jordan: The Road Home
The Road Home, the latest solo release from Dream Theater keyboard player Jordan Rudess, is indeed that, a chance for this musician to go home so to speak, and revisit his prog rock roots. In other words, in what seems to be the trend these days, this is a classic prog covers album, in which Rudess pays great homage to some of these staples, but injects his own spin on them as well.
The Genesis song "Dance On A Volcano" gets a royal treatment, with Neal Morse contributing vocals and Marco Sfogli (James LaBrie) on guitars. Rod Morgenstein, who plays drums on the entire album, puts in a fine performance on this one, but it's the tasty keyboard work from Rudess that ultimately steals the show. "Sound Chaser", the fusiony Yes classic from Relayer, is one of the tunes where Rudess really throws in some of his own flair. Although the arrangement is the same, he adds in a lot of different sounds and textures, making for an intriguing listen. Nick D'Virgilio and Kip Winger provide the vocals on this one, and guitarists Ricky Garcia & Ed Wynne both throw in some metal-ish solos, which might or might not work for some listeners. Gentle Giant's "Just the Same" is a musical tour-de-force, very close to the original in every aspect, with a cool guitar solo from Ron 'Bumblefoot' Thal, but I question using Kip Winger as a vocalist here, as his breathy, husky voice really seems out of place on this majestic track. Rudess' piano medley is just a joy, as he touches on "Soon" by Yes, "Supper's Ready" by Genesis, the gorgeous "I Talk To the Wind" from King Crimson (in which he sings on as well), and then segues right into "And You and I" from Yes. Lovely stuff, and perhaps the highlight of the album. "Piece of the Pi" is an original song from Rudess, basically a wild keyboard excursion that covers all the bases, as he hits on many of the styles of the players from the bands that these songs come from, yet adds his own personality into it. Of ourse, what would a prog covers album from a keyboard player be without a tribute to ELP, and Rudess tackles the most monstrous song from their discography, the mighty "Tarkus". Featuring vocals from Porcupine Tree's Steven Wilson and Kip Winger, this one, as you can imagine, is a wild ride from start to finish.
While it's up for debate the longevity factor of releases like this, there's no denying how much fun they are to listen to the first few times around. Along with Erik Norlander's similar outing earlier this year, chalk up another covers winner from one of prog's ace keyboard masters.

It's funny to hear all those negative opinions on Jordan Rudess being a mechanical player. That's the reason most people who don't like post-Moore era give when asked why they don't like Jordan Rudess. Well, those who discredit his playing will have to give The Road Home a close listen, and see how soulful a player Rudess truly is. Maybe then they'll also go back to his other solo albums and discover how unique his compositions are. He is not just a technical musician with no understanding of songwriting. On the contrary, to Rudess composition comes first; technique is just applied to express the necessary feelings.
On this tribute album, Rudess covers songs from some of prog's greatest bands, including Genesis, Yes, King Crimson, and ELP. The CD starts with the Genesis track "Dance on a Volcano", sung by former Spock's Beard vocalist Neal Morse. It's weird cause Morse sounds totally different from what he did in Spock's Beard or Transatlantic. Laden with various sound effects by Rudess, the song is mostly played true to its original form, but you can see how bits and pieces of Rudess' vision have been injected here and there. Guitar virtuoso Marco Sfogli (James Labrie, John Macaluso & Union Radio) plays a smooth, somewhat unexptected solo here while Rudess' long-time friend Rod Morgenstein is on drums through the whole album. His fills on this track are amazing, and Rudess closes the piece in grand fashion.
In the middle part of Yes' "Sound Chaser", the atmosphere becomes so dense and heavy that I can't help but think no one else could have interpreted this piece so well except Jordan Rudess. One can notice how much he's been influenced by greats such as Rick Wakeman, Patrick Moraz, and Tony Banks, but there is still something in Rudess' playing that gives him his own flair. With Nick D'Virgilio and Kip Winger on vocals, this track lends itself to modern-day soundscapes as well, but there is still plenty of vintage keyboard material present here.
Porcupine Tree's Steven Wilson appears on "Tarkus", along with Kip Winger and guitar god Ron Thal, among others. At over 22 minutes, this is the centrepiece of the album, and the track that sees the most variations from Rudess. His synth lines are simply gorgeous here, as is the tenacious drumming. The busy keyboard run in the beginning is my favourite, not only on this song but possibly the whole record. Ricky Garcia's guitar solo laidback and natural; it fits the flow perfectly. I had no idea he was capable of so many diverse styles, and hearing Steven Wilson on a vintage prog tune is great as well.
Over three minutes, "Piece of the Pi" is an original song by Jordan Rudess. It is a perfect amalgamation of the 70's and current prog music scene, as it feels like vintage prog played and recorded on today's equipment. It's a fun, playful tune, slightly similar to the stupifying solo material Rudess does on stage. I always thought it'd be great if he recorded something in this vein, and he's finally done it. On the piano medley, where he touches on songs like "Sons", "Supper's Ready", "I Talk to the Wind", and "And You and I", you'll hear him try some vocals as well. I am somewhat surprised he chose the King Crimson song out of all these pieces, but he pulls it off -- it's good to hear his voice finally.
Of course many will still continue to be displeased just because they think Rudess is an awful musician with just the chops and no heart. If you're not one of those people, and actually like to hear his take on some of prog's greatest tunes, you can't pass this album up.
I wish all tribute albums were this refreshing.

Jordan Rudess has found his Road Home through music. The versatile keyboard player that was once a classical pianist entered the world of progressive rock with Dream Theater many years ago and has never looked back, except on this album where he stops to reflect upon the music that got him where he is today.
Rudess is prog-metal royalty now and it is obvious to me after listening to The Road Home that his love for this music has not waned at all over the years; on the contrary, it feels strong and poignant. The keyboard wizard makes every track his own by improvising and adding his special touch to give each one the respect it deserves while making sure his stamp is left everywhere in between. There are six tracks on this CD with the classic ELP track "Tarkus" running for nearly 24 minutes alone; it's packed with long stretches of keyboard virtuosity. This is what you want to hear if you happen to love the original tracks and appreciate the talent and genius of Mr. Rudess.
It is only fitting that Rudess surrounds himself with others from the same category to pay tribute to the music he loves. Jordan gets some first rate assistance from the prog world's best such as singer Neal Morse, who does a terrific job with "Dance on a Volcano," then Kip Winger and Nick D Virgillio (Spock's Beard) trade off on vocals with "Sound Chaser" and Steve Wilson (Porcupine Tree) contributes his fine vocalizations on "Stones of Years". On the instrumental side of the equation, the excellent drummer Rod Morgenstein (The Dixie Dregs, Winger) contributes heavily while Ricky Garcia and Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal (Guns n' Roses) peel off some scorching guitar solos.
On "I Talk To The Wind" Jordan turns in a surprisingly good vocal treatment. It comes as a surprise of course as he normally performs instrumental pieces and does not contribute vocals on the Dream Theater albums. So overall there are plenty of instances that alert your senses while taking The Road Home with Jordan Rudess.
The album cover art is typically progressive and filled with fantasy, depicting Rudess following his path to the futuristic metropolis that sits in front of him with all its glorious architecture and power - much like the music he makes and the imagery it creates throughout this entire package. I could not have asked for a better solo project, and best of all it comes right from his very soul transported directly to your ears.

YES, I agree to everything in the above review, except for the "longevity factor". I keep coming back again and again, and then again. This is a great album. I hate using superlatives, but it might be the best compilation I've ever heard so far. I'm at a phase where I get bored with 'the usual stuff' very fast (at the cost of sounding pretentious, but listeners to prog rock would understand), and that's how I got introduced to Dream Theatre and hence Mr. Rudess. And in my personal opinion, this compilation beats his previous work with DT, handsdown. Another good thing about this album is that, it's a great way to get introduced to bands like Genesis, Gentle Giant etc. And is mixed with a twist of exceptional guitar and keyboard solos, whacky time signatures and tempo changes...sure please every prog rock listener's palate, and for a long time indeed. A PERFECT 10!

Five years of Packabocce: a portable court bringing bocce to the people
The ancient sport of bocce has undergone a resurgence in some parts of the world, helped in part by the invention of a new portable court that lets players take the game with them wherever they go.
Traditional bocce courts are made of wood or stone and can be 8-14 feet wide and 60-100 feet long. These are the kinds of courts that were used in town squares and courtyards during the days of the Ancient Roman empire.
They look good and work fine, but they are far from portable. They certainly can't be packed up and taken to communities and locations crying out for new and accessible recreational opportunities.
Ancient Italian sport rolls into Wellington lifestyle village
Wellington's Village at the Park has become one of the first lifestyle villages in New Zealand to offer bocce after the ancient Italian sport graced its halls during Seniors' Week.
An introductory 'have a go' session was run by Packaworld International CEO Peter Roberts, who showcased bocce to a group of intrigued residents using one of Packaworld's world-first inflatable mini bocce courts.
Bocce is an ideal sport for people of all ages and abilities because it relies on skill rather than athleticism. The game shares a common heritage with bowls and petanque, but is played in a court with walls. This allows different strategies such as rebound plays.
World class amenities enhanced with 'Bocce on the Spot' kits
Arguably United States' biggest and most luxurious life style communities, Willow Valley, will now be offering bocce to their long list of sports activities they offer their residents.
Their exceptional, world class amenities include a new 30,000 square foot Clubhouse with six-lane bowling alley, golf simulator, vintage arcade, outdoor pool and spa area.
"We're delighted that they've opted for our bocce courts," said American Bocce, Co-Founder and Packaworld US distributor, Ben Tudor.
Bocce on the agenda for Friendship Village residents
Picture courtesy of Friendship Village
Bocce is now another sport to add to the impressive list of activities at Friendship Village, Schaumburg - Chicagoland's premier retirement community.
"Recreational activity and light competition can provide a huge bump in the enjoyment of a resident's latter years," said Michael McCann, Director of Lifestyles. " Bocce is a perfect way to achieve this as it is a sport anyone can play and is as much about strategy as it is strength or athleticism."
Key to providing Bocce, at Friendship Village, has been their acquisition of the inflatable bocce courts from Packaworld.

Q: Oracle SQL: Can I combine columns from different tables into one table? I wonder if I can combine columns from different tables into one results.
Table A:
ID ColA ColB
1   A    B

Table B:
ID ColC ColD ColE
1   C1   D1   E1
1   C2   D2   E2

Table C:
ID ColF ColG
1   F    G

Expected Results:
ID ColA ColB ColC ColD ColE ColF ColG
1   A    B    C1   D1   E1   F    G
1             C2   D2   E2

Is there a way to combine columns from different tables into one?
Thank you in advance.

A: You could join them using a Full Outer Join. This could be done using the ID column, or by exposing the rownum value for each row.
According to your desired results, it appears that you actually need ID to be unique. You would need to change TABLE B to have unique values in the ID column.
...
Table B:
ID ColC ColD ColE
1   C1   D1   E1
2   C2   D2   E2 //ID COLUMN VALUE CHANGED FROM 1 to 2 to be unique
...

If ID is unique, you can do a Full Outer Join using ID:
select a.*,b.*,c.*
from a
full outer join b on a.ID = b.ID
full outer join c on c.ID = b.ID

Otherwise you could do a Full Outer Join using rownum:
select a.*,b.*,c.*
from (select t.*,rownum as RowNumber from a) a
full outer join (select t.*,rownum as RowNumber from b) b on a.RowNumber = b.RowNumber
full outer join (select t.*,rownum as RowNumber from c) c on c.RowNumber = b.RowNumber

A: select ID AS "ID", ColA AS "ColA", ColB AS "ColB",NULL AS ColC ,NULL AS ColD ,NULL AS ColE, NULL AS ColF, NULL AS ColG FROM Table A
UNION
SELECT ID AS "ID", NULL AS "ColA", NULL AS "ColB",ColC AS "ColC" ,ColD AS "ColD" ,ColE AS "ColE", NULL AS ColF, NULL AS ColG FROM Table B
UNION
SELECT ID AS "ID", NULL AS "ColA", NULL AS "ColB",NULL AS "ColC" ,NULL AS "ColD" ,NULL AS "ColE", ColF AS "ColF", ColG AS "ColG" FROM Table C

Hope this is what you expected

A: I 'simple' solution would be a full outer join, however, that would not give you the gaps you have for the second row (because TableA only contains 1 row).
So, to solve that, you can make it a little more complex and generate numbers per ID for each of the tables. Then you can make a full outer join on each of those subselects, and use that generated row number as the second field in the join. That way, you won't get a cartesian product, and you'll get the result as you drew it, with gaps for missing rows.
I don't have a database at hand to test it, but let me know if it works.
 select
    coalesce(A.ID, B.ID, C.ID) as ID,
    A.ColA, A.ColB, B.ColC, B.ColD, B.ColE, C.ColF, C.ColG
 from
    (select
      ID,
      row_number() over (partition by ID order by ColA) as rownumber,
      ColA,
      ColB
    from
      TableA t) A
  full outer join
    (select
      ID,
      row_number() over (partition by ID order by ColC) as rownumber,
      ColC,
      ColD,
      ColE
    from
      TableB t) B on B.ID = A.ID and B.rownumer = A.rownumber
  full outer join
    (select
      ID,
      row_number() over (partition by ID order by ColF) as rownumber,
      ColF,
      ColG
    from
      TableC t) C on C.ID = nvl(A.ID, B.ID) and C.rownumer = A.rownumber

Turton smash four past Coppull United to earn themselves a place in the Amateur Shield Final against Thornton Cleveleys at the County Ground.
Goals from Osman Karakan, Emmanuel Yoak and a brace from Daniel Locke ensured Craig Jones' side progressed to the Final as worthy winners.
After a cagey start to the game at Crilly Park, it took Turton only five minutes to break the deadlock. A throw into the Coppull box fell kindly to Daniel Locke and the number ten struck a wonderful left footed half volley into the bottom right hand corner.
Coppull nearly found themselves level in the game on the 16th minute as they countered a Turton corner with Daniel Fishwick at the heart of it. His pass found midfielder Liam Hoyle who then found the run of David Parker at the back post, but his well-timed volley was easily saved by Turton goalkeeper, Josh McGreavy.
Just minutes later, Turton doubled their lead. A lovely out swinging corner by Jay Ralphson was met by the head of centre back Osman Karakan who squeezed a header past Coppull goalkeeper, Andrew Almond.
On the 33rd minute, Turton found themselves 3-0 to the good. A long high ball from McGreavy found the feet of Locke who scored his second of the game after cutting in from the left hand side and his low driven shot wrong footed goalkeeper, Almond.
On the stroke of half time, Coppull nearly found a way back into the game. A corner ball fell to the feet of Parker but his shot was cleared off the line by Turton defender, Dylan Winstanley.
The second half started slowly with both sides lacking that creative edge. The first real chance of the half fell to Coppull United forward Simon Adeoyo on the 62nd minute but the substitutes shot was gathered by McGreavy.
Another great chance for Coppull went begging after a lovely curling effort by Liam Thompson produced a fantastic save from McGreavy. However, from the resulting corner, referee Abid Hussain awarded them a controversial penalty which was smashed home by Hoyle. A lifeline for Coppull.
The penalty seemed to have sprung Coppull into life as a rasping drive from Thompson was adjudged to have been handled outside of the box by Turton goalkeeper, McGreavy and he was given his marching orders by Hussain.
Right at the death, emotions ran high. Coppull's Matthew Taylor lashed out at Scott Fitzsimmons, meaning both sides had to play the final stages of the game with ten men.
Moments later, forward Emmanuel Yoak got his name on the scoresheet as he was sent through one on one and he calmly dispatched it, sending deserved winners Turton through to the Final of the Amateur Shield on 1 May.

One last hurrah before retirement: Excise Commissioner General to issue new license in a crooked deal
The Commissioner General of the Excise Department, A. Bodaragama, who is slated for retirement soon, has been accused of granting special privileges to several
manufacturers of alcohol products in the past few days as well as attempting to issue a new license to another manufacturing company in an irregular manner.
However, political sources say that the Rajapaksas are now trying to take over the monopoly of alcohol production and that Excise Commissioner General A. Bodaragama has become a pawn in their endeavour.
Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) MP Buddhika Pathirana revealed in Parliament yesterday (02), about an attempt by the Excise Department to issue a new license for the manufacture of alcohol products by passing standard procedures.
Tax evasion rampant among manufacturers!
Pathirana pointed out that although 27 licenses have been issued for the production of alcohol in the country, two of them have been revoked thus far.
The SJB MP said that out of the remaining 25 licenses, 5 manufacturers provide close to 95% of all revenue due to the government while the other 20 licensed manufacturers account for a mere 5% of the revenue.
Therefore, he called on the government to conduct an investigation to see if there was any case of tax evasion. Furthermore, he stated that an application for a special license to manufacture alcohol has been submitted and that arrangements are being made to issue it outside of normal procedure.
Commenting further, he said that;
"Five are responsible for around 93-95% of alcohol related tax revenue. The remaining 20 manufacturers contribute only 5%.
First, we need to see if there is any tax evasion.
Second, there is an application for a special license. Usually, when a new application is submitted, the Excise Department is required to conduct an examination of the proposed location and obtain public opinion after giving due notice. Attempts are being made to issue the license on or around next Friday without any due diligence.
The application has been submitted to manufacture a local wine. The tax on producing spirits is around Rs. 3,200 per litre, whilst the tax for local wine is around Rs. 900.
You will receive only one-third of the tax due on a litre. Can you find out and investigate? " the SJB MP inquired.
Responding to this query, State Minister of Finance Ajith Nivard Cabraal stated that he will look into the matter.
Tax on a single bottle of arrack is 68% !
The government usually levies a tax of more than 68% on the price of a single bottle of arrack, but many manufacturers are evading taxes by using their political affiliations, a senior official in the Excise Department said.
However, he noted that Harry Jayewardene's DCSL accounts for more than Rs. 75 billion annually in taxes.
He further said that if the Excise Department takes steps to reduce fraud and corruption, it has the potential to increase government revenue by billions of rupees.

Q: PHP: How to display a variable (a) within another variable(b) when variable (b) contains text I am storing text in my database.
Here is the following text:
".$teamName.", is the name of a recently formed company hoping to take over the lucrative hairdryer design ".$sector."

After querying the database I assign this text to a variable called $news, then echo it.
However the text is outputted to the screen exactly as above without the variables $teamName*and $sector replaced by there corresponding values.
I assure you that both $teamName and $sector are defined before I query the database.
Is it even possible to do what I am trying to do?

A: You might be better off using sprintf() here.
$string = "%s is the name of a recently formed company hoping to take over the lucrative hairdryer design %s.";

$teamName = "My Company";
$sector = "sector";

echo sprintf($string, $teamName, $sector);
// My Company is the name of a recently formed company hoping to take over the lucrative hairdryer design sector.

In your database, you store $string.  Use sprintf() to substitute the variable values.

A: Try using this, I guess: http://php.net/manual/en/function.sprintf.php

A: This is a wild guess, but did you store the variable names in the database because maybe they were in single quotes and not evaluated?
$foo = 'bar';echo '$foo'; //$foo
$foo = 'bar';echo "$foo"; //bar

A: That's not how it works. If you want $teamname to be evaluated, you need to evaluate it before you store it in the database. If you need them to vary, you could do some sort of string replace for all variables.
SQL: INSERT INTO ... VALUES ( 'My team has won ##num_won## games this year.')
PHP:
$string = get_string_from_sql(); // substitute for whatever method you are using to get the string.
$num_won = 16;
$string = str_replace('##num_won##', $num_won, $string);
echo $string; // Will echo My team has won 16 games this year.

A: You should be storing the following string in your database (slightly different to yours):
$teamName, is the name of a recently formed company hoping to take over the lucrative hairdryer design $sector.

Then, you can do one of two things:
$news = eval('return "'.$news.'";');

...or...
$news = str_replace(array('$teamName','$sector'),array($teamName,$sector),$news);

Or better yet, use sprintf(), where the string is:
%s, is the name of a recently formed company hoping to take over the lucrative hairdryer design %s.

...and you get the actual value like this:
$news = sprintf($news, $teamName, $sector);


There's a keybind in Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 that centres the camera. Assuming you and an opponent are on a level plane, a centred camera in Black Ops 4 rests on their head. And then there is a gun – the Mozu – that can kill in a single headshot, if paired with the Skull Splitter operator mod.
This all adds up to a pretty powerful exploit. To see just how powerful, check out the video embedded below. As you can see, the player only needs to worry about aligning themselves horizontally with their opponent – given this, they can snap instantly to head height and score a guaranteed kill. It's quite something.
The video is courtesy of Redditor JollyRogers1503, who posted a PSA to the BlackOps4 sub after what I can only assume was a pretty unpleasant game on the receiving end of this exploit.
As you probably know, centre-view is nothing new in action games. I remember it as a helpful feature to get your bearings in six degrees of freedom shooters like Descent, or stop the environment stretching in 2.5D engines like that which powered Dark Forces. Animol points out that it's been in Call of Duty "since forever" too, going back to at least the first Modern Warfare.
So it's a bit of a surprise no-one thought to exploit it before, to be honest. The option is just there in the 'on foot' section of the keybinds menu.
Clearly some action is needed – one sensible suggestion on Reddit is to introduce a short delay to the camera correction so you can still centre your view, but not so quickly as to provide a winning advantage in gunfights. Until then… I dunno, crouch?

Q: Node.JS, CLI with VSCode not finding path to NPM modules, launch.json I want to write a command line program to use via node.js and CLI module. VSCode is not finding .require('cli') so no intellisense.
Then when I launch for debug it isn't looking in the right place, it's looking at APP\npm_modules\cli.js when it is APP\npm_modules\cli\cli.js.
I do have cli installed both locally and globally and I have a NODE_PATH environment pointing accordingly.
The same code works correctly when run at the command line, so it's a VSCode issue. Perhaps, there is a different editor that offers debugging that I should consider?

A: My mistake. Turns out that I had enabled the debugger to break on all exceptions and as .require resolves, it is looking in several places, eventually the module is found, but there are a number of caught exceptions along the way. I was stuck at looking at the first exception.

8th Eri-Youth Festival: Youth: The Vigor of Sustainable Development
by admin · Published July 18, 2018 · Updated July 18, 2018
by Habtom Tesfamichael
The 2018 National youth festival which began on 13 July, attended by more than 20 thousand participants ended on Sunday 15, July. It was a grand blend of events such as cultural shows, sport, educational competitions, seminars, exhibitions, youth theatres and other activities. The festival, held biennially at Sawa, is organized by the NUEYs, Sawa National Service Training Center (SNSTC) and other partners.
In the last couple of months Sawa has been preparing all the necessary facilities to welcome and accommodate its guests and help the smooth functioning of events. This year's festival was celebrated along with the graduation of the 31st round and the 9th commencement of Sawa Vocational Training Center (VTC).
To attend the graduation ceremony on July 13, people started to take their seats from as early as 5:00 in the morning. Soon every nook and cranny of the place was filled with attendants. After a minute of silence to pay tribute to our martyrs, blocks of military trainees marched and gave military salute in honor of President Isaias Afwerki. In his address President Isaias told the gathering about his trip to Addis Ababa the next day. He said he was going to deliver the goodwill message of the Eritrean people in order to solidify the peace negotiations reached so far with the Ethiopian government. His address received huge round of applause from the participants.
President Isaias handed Sawa awards to Eritrean youth from the diaspora who demonstrated academic excellence. Award winners expressed their delight for receiving awards from the president and said that this will encourage them to do better for themselves and the nation. The organizing committee said that awardees are selected through national and community-based screening processes and a more enhanced mechanism will be adopted in the forthcoming festival.
Col. Debessay Ghide, commander of the SNSTC, officially opened the day by congratulating the graduates and their families, different institutions who contributed to the success of the event and all the participants. Col. Debessay said that the government is spending a large amount of money to build awareness among the youth, make the trainees physically strong and equip them with knowledge and technological know-hows so that they can be active actors in the nation building process and in safeguarding the national security. He noted that this year's round of national service participants are graduating, following eight months of academic studies and four months of military and political education. The number of female participants has been increasing, making up 50.8% of this year's national service graduates.
Mr. Tesfay Tewelde, director of VTC, on his part forwarded his congratulatory message to this year's VTC graduates and their families. He said that to complete the two-year training program, a significant amount of capital, time and labor has been invested. Mr. Tesfay advised the graduates that their graduation is the end of one chapter in the world of education and the beginning of a new chapter that they should use to upgrade their profession in the practical world of work. VTC has graduated 1127 trainees, 49% of are females are females, in eleven fields. He added that the training center has introduced new fields including electronics, computer maintenance and networking, machine shop, auto-mechanics, refrigeration and air conditioning and is planning to start a program in foundry for the next round of trainees.
Mr. Tesfay noted that this year's teaching-learning process was successful because of the huge investment the government has made to equip the center with the necessary facilities. The graduates vowed to pay back in kind for the investment made on them. Trainees who demonstrated excellence in the military training and from the VTC received awards from government officials and army commanders.
Enthusiasm of every participant and the national service graduates in particular was visible at the festival. Their excitement and passion could be seen when they were dancing to the tunes of every trumpet beats at the festival.
The eighth Eri-youth festival was lively with cultural celebrations and activities which enriched the understanding of our cultural values and norms. The Eritrean nationals from the diaspora in particular were enlightened with knowledge about the Eritrean ethnic groups and their traditions. Seminars were also held on different topics.
Eritrean festivals serve as a forum to show case creativity and share experience. The objective of the festival and the competitions is to provide a platform to young people to express their thoughts that are meaningful and relevant and to nurture the creativity, skills and imagination of young people to express themselves in different ways.
The three-day extravaganza was concluded with prize giving ceremony on Sunday evening. Speaking at the concluding ceremony, Mr. Robel Tewelde, head of the festival organizing committee, said that this year's organization of the event was effective thanks to the experiences gained from previous festivals.

There only surviving NC&StL Dixie, is number 576, at Centennial Park in Nashville, TN. The engine was build in 1942 and after only 11 years and one month of service donated to the City of Nashville as a reminder of the importance of steam. Ever since there were rumours about restoring the engine in running order. During the 1970s, when planning for the Bicentennial Train was taking place, NC&StL 576 was considered as power for the eastern tour of the American Freedom Train but it was decided that it was not heavy enough and the Reading 2101 was selected instead. 576 was also considered for the Southern Railway Steam Program sometime around the mid-70s. However there was quite a bit of local opposition from those who did not want the engine to leave Nashville. 576 was also considered for a new steam excursion program by the Seaboard System/Clinchfield Railroad in the 1970s. They had operated excursions for some time powered by their tiny, ancient 4-6-0 #1 and wanted to upgrade to a stronger steam locomotive. Nashville again decided that they did not want their engine to leave the city, so the Clinchfield folks went up to Kentucky and leased the C&O 2716. It was pulled down to Marion, NC to a siding for restoration. They slowly worked on it for about 6 months, when their whole excursion program fell through, and the engine was sent back to Kentucky. Eventually, the Southern did lease it, overhaul it, and operated it for about 2/3s of a season. Meanwhile, the folks in Nashville changed their mind and offered the 576 to the Clinchfield, but it was too late. In 1998 the smokebox was painted yellow, the headlight shroud was painted red, and the counterweights were painted silver. In 2003 a shelter was build to protect the engine from the elements. The engine is being maintained by volunteers.
Remarks Designed by C.M. Darden, the Chief Mechanical Officer of the NC, The J3 engines were a technological marvel marvel of their day. The one piece cast frame and sealed roller bearings on the engine were revolutionary in reducing maintenance costs for the road. And the lateral motion devices on the lead driver set allowed a much larger, and more powerful, engine to be used on the tight curves.

Iggy Azalea Features Lil Uzi Vert On New Song "Can't Lose": Listen
Christina Lee @MinaAnnLee | March 3, 2017 11:10 am
Iggy Azalea returns to music with "Can't Lose," her first single in over a year, off Def Jam's just-released compilation Direct Deposit Vol. 2. Throughout, she acts like the halcyon days of 2014's "Fancy" were only yesterday, boasting of making a cool million off a single show while otherwise stressing that money is no object: "Wax on, wax off, karate chop with the sauce / Never worry about the cost." With his distorted warbling, featured rapper Lil Uzi Vert is as nonchalant about always winning as can be.
"Can't Lose" arrives more than a year of false starts to her Digital Distortion album era. Iggy acknowledged just as much yesterday (March 2), saying, "I felt it was important I made some creative changes too — I needed my album to reflect where my head's at in 2017." More than anything, though, "Can't Lose" makes Iggy seem more concerned with being on trend. Between the ominous, bass-heavy production and all the times she says "dat way" like Migos in "Bad and Boujee," Iggy's state of mind is currently stuck on the past few years of radio hits out of one-time home base Atlanta.
Fortunately, Iggy has plenty more chances to distinguish herself further, as she'll be releasing music throughout March. For now, hear "Can't Lose" below.

ADOLF Hitler's final message that's been dubbed the Nazi dictator's "suicide note" is up for auction.
In it the defiant Fuhrer refuses to leave his bunker in Berlin as the Red Army closes in on the besieged German capital in April 1945.

It was sent to one of Hitler's favourite commanders, Field Marshal Ferdinand Schörner, who had been urging him to flee the capital.
The Fuhrer states: "I shall remain in Berlin, so as to take part, in honourable fashion, in the decisive battle for Germany, and to set a good example to all those remaining.
"I believe that in this way I shall be rendering Germany the best service.
"For the rest of you, every effort must be made to win the struggle for Berlin. You can there help decisively, by pushing northwards as early as possible."

Adolf Hitler, April 24 1945
Alexander Historical Auctions in Maryland, USA, which is auctioning the item, said the item was "as unique as it gets".
It could fetch up to £70,000.
Auction company president Bill Panagopulos said: "There is no other written evidence of Hitler declaring his intention to remain (and die) in Berlin that anyone has been able to locate.
"This is essentially Hitler's 'suicide note'.
"In it, he tries to portray himself as a valiant leader of his men until the end, when in actuality he shuffled into his bedroom and fired a bullet into his head."

The lot also includes Hitler's transcript of the letter from Schörner, pleading with him to escape.
"I should like… to ask you, at this grave hour, to leave Berlin and to assume command… from the southern sector," wrote Schörner.
"If you fell, Germany would also. Millions of Germans await the opportunity to build up Germany once again, with you."
Mr Panagopulos said: "He was a favourite of Hitler, and was a devoted underling, and most certainly wanted Hitler to get out of Berlin."
RED ARMY CLOSING IN ON HITLER'S BUNKER
Hitler, on the other hand, was in an impossible position.
At the afternoon situation conference two days earlier, the stricken dictator suffered a total nervous collapse when he was informed that the orders to move to the rescue of Berlin had not been obeyed.
Mr Panagopulos said: "Hitler launched a tirade against the treachery and incompetence of his commanders; his outburst culminated in a declaration – for the first time – that the war was lost.
"Hitler announced that he would stay in Berlin until the end."
On April 26, two days after Hitler sent his reply to Schörner, the Nazi leader was offered a last chance to fly out of Berlin, which he declined.
"He may have hoped that by some miracle Schorner would push north from Czechoslovakia and relieve Berlin, but I'm sure both of them knew that was an impossibility," said Mr Panagopulos.
"His defensive forces were collapsing all around him and Russian shells were already landing nearby."

Hitler and his longtime partner, Eva Braun, would commit suicide in his Berlin bunker on April 30, 1945.
According to those who managed to escape the bunker before the Red Army arrived, Hitler would voice his fear of being captured, or worse, being killed and having his body paraded in public.
In his last will and testament, Hitler promoted Schörner to commander-in-chief of the German army, as his successor.
Schörner would later abandon his post and flee to Austria, where he was arrested by American forces.
Following the war, he served time in Soviet and West German prisons before he was released in 1963, after which he moved to Munich where he died in obscurity in 1973.
The lot will be sold in a two-day auction running on April 30 and May 1.
It is expected to fetch between £52,000-£70,000.
Bids can be made online at www.alexautographs.com.

With over 90% of international trade being carried by sea, the safety of commercial maritime shipping is essential to the global economy. Much of the world's trade travels along maritime highways between Asia, Europe, and North America. Most of these routes are sailed through wide open waters, but there are a few places where narrows, straits, or other restricting features must be navigated.
Should safe navigation through these vital waters become dangerous, they could prove to be the Achilles heel of global economic growth and prosperity. It is therefore not surprising that the potential closing of two of those essential waterways in the Middle East — the Bab el-Mandeb Strait and the Strait of Hormuz — raises questions about insurance coverage for delay, voyage frustration, and possible deterioration losses.
Dire straits for commercial shipping explains the concerns, insurance considerations, and the need for vessel operators, charterers, cargo owners, and their financiers to understand the limitations of their insurance cover, should the potentially grave economic risk of waterway closures or sanctions in the Middle East escalate further.


When Zen Master Ikkyu was still a child, he began to study Zen in a monastery. Ikkyu's master had a jar of candy that he was particularly fond of and, to keep the novices from eating it, he told them that the jar was filled with poison. Ikkyu, however, was not fooled.
I can understand a bit about the moral of skilfully correcting others and not incur any resulting antagonism.
However, the first thing that came to my mind was, isn't that stealing?
That reads like 'skilfully' getting off the hook for stealing.
Definitely is stealing, and lying too. But Ikkyu probably felt it's worth the effort, and was willing to bear any negative karma created? Wouldn't know now. No one can read his mind.
In that case, this doesn't sound like a good Buddhist teaching material to be put online without qualifying statements.
If there are people who thinks it's alright do something unwholesome as long as one is willing to bear any negative karma created, then we should be careful when publishing and forwarding such articles, isn't it?
The story is a witty one. Why miss the point and do fault-finding? There are faults with almost every joke in the world, even those cracked by Buddhist teachers.
We all know Ikkyu was a mischievous kid… unless some don't. Who in the right mind will emulate Ikkyu's theft and deceit? Ok, maybe the editor should add a clause about that?
The point about correcting others in tactful way is not missed. The point about lying and stealing is, however, seems to be conveniently missed. Pointing out faults to be recognised and change for the better is not equal to fault-finding.
Whether there will be people emulating Ikkyu's theft and deceit, or whether we all know he was a mischievous kid or not, should not prevent us from pointing out unwholesome behaviour.
Likewise, no one in his right mind will go about killing when he sees one killing right in front him or is about to get off the hook for killing through ingenious ways. That does not mean we should not point out that killing is wrong.
I do not remember the Buddha cracking any jokes that have obvious behavioural faults such as these. There might be, but from what I can remember, he didn't frame it in the form of a joke.
If the Buddha is our perfect model and perfect teacher, then let's concentrate on that and not try to propagate jokes with obvious behavioural faults by any other Buddhist teacher.
Thanks to the editor for the additional note at the end of the article.
Practising generosity after or in the midst of doing something wrong is not the kind of generosity practise we want to encourage, I think.
But I thank the Editor for his time and efforts to qualify the article.
The message is in the master's hypocracy and deceit. Once the boy exposed the poison as a lie, the master was in no position to punish him. Use honesty to guide or expect dishonesty in return.

Q: What is the best practice for creating Custom Exceptions? When creating Custom Exceptions is it best practice to make a separate class file for each and every Custom Exception, or append the Custom Exceptions to the end of the class file that they relate to, or create a file (eg. CustomExceptions.cs) and add the Custom Exceptions there?

A: One class per file is always a good rule.
The other basics:

*

*Mark your exception as [Serializable]

*Overload all the System.Exception constructors

*Don't inherit from System.ApplicationException

A: Well ... I would say that you should follow the rule of one class per file, except in case if this exception is just for "internal" functionality in your class. Then you can make it declared inside the class. However, if exposed by any means to outside world, separate it from the class. This exposure could also be seen from the actual probability that this exception goes unhanded to the users of your class. In this case, I would also expose it and would not declare it inside.

A: As others have stated, one class per file rule is ideal. Another way to think of it, if you have a large application consisting of many modules, you will have multiple namespaces and it's important to keep the exceptions that a certain class method (or set of classes/methods) can throw within their respective namespaces. This makes the code more readable and the reasoning behind your custom exceptions easier to decipher for other developers ... Or for you in 6 months when you forgot why you made half of them :)


Despite its shocking single-player length, reviewers and the community have praised Homefront for its multiplayer. A large amount of the community though, have been experiencing numerous issues with freezing and server location problems. THQ have been working 24/7, says Homefront multiplayer manager, to release an update that will fix these problems. Today, the patch finally cleared authorization by Microsoft and is currently live to gamers.
This update fixes the freeze issue, where the game freezes at title screens before entering the main menu. The update also fixes the server location issue. The issue was having people from other parts of the world being put in a server halfway around the world from their location (for example, a New Zealand gamer being throne in an American server).
Another update that THQ is currently working on deals with many more issues like rank reseting, freezing during games, joining friends in session, the beacon error, and problems with the leaderboard.

Highlighting the needs of our local environment.
The "rationale"
In 2018, we were told that to "unlock" economic growth in the South East, and to to deliver one million new houses, we had to have an expressway between Oxford and Cambridge. Following public outrage, the expressway was deemed no longer vital to deliver growth in the region and was scrapped. Yet the concept of a Growth Arc between Oxford and Cambridge has been relentlessly pursued by the Government. The rationale now is simply that, while this area of the South East already bears significant economic fruit, it could yield much, much more – and alternatives to the Expressway are being scrutinised to help make this happen.
On the 18th February 2021, the Government released a press statement outlining its ambitions to transform the area into an economic "powerhouse", which you can read here.
The Arc, the Government urges, will require a new "spacial framework" to ensure that businesses, industry and house-builders have the space and infrastructure they need in the area to grow. Heralding what looks like a new planning authoritarianism, local planning authorities within the Arc will be "supported" in allocating suitable high-growth zones, though there appears to be little choice about opting out.
Meanwhile, it is is keen to persuade us that – in a way never before seen! – super-charged economic growth within the Arc will be matched by environmental protections and enhancements. Given the scale of the Arc and the concrete and tarmac that will be poured over farmland, heritage and wildlife, how could this be possible?
It really isn't clear. The Government's enthusiasm for the Arc considerably outweighs the detail on mitigation. There is also scant detail of what the Arc will actually involve in terms of infrastructure development, or house-building, though there have been frequent mentions of 1 million houses.
Yet revised projections for household growth provided by the Office for National Statistics show that housing demand will be 17% lower in the SE and in the East of England. (Planning, 28 September 2018, p8).
Serious questions are now being asked, in particular, about the need to "build, build, build", more houses. For far too long there has been a widely held assumption – across the political spectrum – that the housing crisis is one of shortage. But as Nick Bano (a barrister who specialises in housing and homelessness cases) has recently argued:
Not only is the analytical evidence stacked against the 'build more housing' thinking, but it is actually difficult to find factual evidence in favour of its basic arguments. … Why build more housing when there is already a surplus equal to five times the homeless population?
He adds, "the call to build more housing is not a call that serves our interests (let alone the interests of the environment)."
The full article is here.
Apart from this, why concentrate further growth in the South East? We already have the densest population in the UK, huge demand on land, very high levels of congestion and worrying stresses on our water supply.
In terms of wealth distribution, the UK is the most unequal of the ten Northern European countries, with six out of ten of the poorest regions of Northern Europe being in the UK. A recent and damning UN report on UK poverty and human rights states that 14 million people – one fifth of the country's population – live in poverty.
In an apparent attempt to deal with the fact that stimulating white hot growth in five counties that have high levels of prosperity is not exactly fair, there is a reference to "levelling up" areas of inequality within the Arc itself. This hardly amounts to rebalancing the UK economy, something that the Government has previously said is a priority.
Perhaps the idea is that, if growth is encouraged in the South East, the tax base will grow and the money gained from this could be used to invest elsewhere – at some point. But waiting potentially decades for some possible return is not sensible. The deeply worrying structural problems in our society ought to be tackled now.
Rather than do this, the Government seems hell-bent on perpetuating an affluent, environmentally damaged and overcrowded South-East that sucks in talent and investment, while the rest of the country is left to fill Amazon orders and clean second homes. High Speed Two was intended to rebalance the UK economy. The Oxford-Cambridge Arc appears to be geared to do the opposite.

Teen Develops 'Wet Lung' After Vaping For 3 Weeks, Doctors Say
Filed Under:Chris Melore, e-cigarettes, health, Local TV, talkers, teens, vaping
PITTSBURGH, PA (CBS Local) – A teen in Pennsylvania had to be placed on a breathing machine after doctors say she developed "wet lung" from vaping.

A case study published in the medical journal Pediatrics, details how the 18-year-old waitress had been using e-cigarettes for only three weeks before needing to be rushed to the emergency room at University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.
Doctors found that the young woman was suffering from a worsening cough, difficulty breathing, and sudden stabbing pains in her chest. The teen's condition continued to deteriorate even after the hospital put her on antibiotics. "She was unable to get enough oxygen into her blood from her lungs and required a mechanical ventilator (respirator) to breathe for her until her lungs recovered," Dr. Daniel Weiner said, via CNN.

Doctors also needed to insert tubes into the restaurant worker to drain fluid from her lungs. Physicians diagnosed the patient with hypersensitivity pneumonitis, also known as "wet lung," which is an allergic reaction to chemicals or dust that inflames the lungs. Doctors noted that the young woman had a history of very mild asthma, which did not require an inhaler prior to using e-cigarettes.
"This is the first reported case of hypersensitivity pneumonitis and acute respiratory distress syndrome as a risk of e-cigarette use in an adolescent," the May 17 case study announced.
"As electronic cigarette use increases, we will be seeing more case reports and side effects," Dr. Casey Sommerfeld told CNN. A 2016 report from the U.S. Surgeon General noted that e-cigarette use jumped by a stunning 900 percent among students from 2011 to 2015.

The Geek Friendly, Father's Day Viewer's Guide
by Tom Herles June 14, 2013
written by Tom Herles June 14, 2013
This Sunday is Father's Day, the annual tie giving, barbecuing holiday that adorns our June calendars every year. The week before is filled with racked brains trying to figure out something our poppas would actually want. It's not any easy process. Unless you are in fact a dad and then it's time to just sit back and relax. Why not reward yourself with a nice father's day themed movie marathon? Maybe you could watch these classics with your padre or child. But if your dad is like mine, the first sign of a film without Clint Eastwood in a starring role will cause him to lose interest. Well, we tried. Here is our geek friendly, Father's Day viewer's guide.
Fantasy Father's Day
Sure, the film's predecessor "Empire Strikes Back" contains the most famous dad related line in movie history, but "Jedi" builds on that revelation throughout. Luke comes to terms with Darth Vader being his father while simultaneously acting more like a Jedi scene by scene. In the end, the personification of evil throughout the "Star Wars" trilogy caves in and shows compassion for his son by saving him from the shriveled worm of an emperor. If those two can put their differences aside, there's no reason you and your dad can't get along at the Father's Day dinner table for one night.
"Thor"-
One of the more intriguing comic book families, Odin is the father of both the film's hero (Thor) and villain (Loki). Sure the latter isn't his biological son, but that doesn't mean the ruler of Asgard can't be a proud daddy. Well until Loki tries to destroy everything on multiple occasions…and then again in "the Avengers." Even though it is Thor's movie, Odin features prominently and has Anthony Hopkins playing him. Sounds like a decent dad to me.
"Back to the Future"-
Dads aren't infallible, we know that. But Marty McFly gets to know his dad on a totally different level than we'll ever know ours. Travelling back in time to witness his dad be a peeping tom, strike out with the girls and get beaten up by bullies, it's actually the son who has to stick up for his dad in this instance. All the while, he has to fight off advances from his mother and try to get her interested in his dad. What a strange nightmare… or dream if you're a weirdo.
"Finding Nemo"-
This is what happens when you try to touch the butt. For those who haven't seen the movie, the butt is what the fish call the boat right before Nemo gets caught and transported to a dentist's office in Australia. The film follows Nemo's dad, Marlin, as he treks through the sea trying to find his lost son. It's just like "Taken," but with sea turtles, Ellen DeGeneres and laughter.
"Man of Steel"-
Opening in theaters on Friday, the new Superman flick promises time with both of Clark's famous dads, Jor-El and Jonathon Kent. Both are caring dads who want the best for their son. It just so happens that one of them is a scientist from a doomed alien planet and the other is Kansas farmer. But good dads come in all shapes and sizes. At least Superman didn't have to deal with either of his dads being slightly pervy like Marty McFly did, the Man of Steel doesn't need anything else to worry about.
There's the list. Are there any geek inspired Father's Day movies we left out? Happy Father's Day to all you dads out there.
