ENG - Materials Processing
The torsional impact response of a penny-shaped interface crack in a layered composite is considered in this study. The geometry of the composite consists of two bonded dissimilar elastic layers which are sandwiched between two half-spaces made of a different material. Laplace and Hankel transforms are used to reduce the problem to the solution of a pair of dual integral equations. These equations are solved by using an integral transform technique and the result is expressed in terms of a Fredholm integral equation of the second kind. A numerical Laplace inversion routine is used to recover the time dependence of the solution. The dynamic stress intensity factor is determined and its dependence on time, the material properties and the geometry parameters is discussed.

4 Ways to Set Up Parental Lock on Android and iPhone
Jenson Walker Last updated Oct 15, 2019 03:23 pm Parental Control
The parental lock is designed to limit access to the device for your kids, by applying it children are not able to visit specific websites or purchase certain apps without a parent's permission. To parental lock Android or iOS, there are a lot of ways available but not every method will work. In the article below, we will discuss the priven ways to set up a parental lock on Android and iPhone.
Part 1: How to Apply Parental Lock on Android
Part 2: How to Use Parental Lock on iPhone
There are different ways to set up a parental lock on the phone. Like, on Samsung device, you will find Kids Mode. This is a typical parental lock app provided for Samsung users that can limit the features of the device for the children. The second one is Google Play parental controls, and the last one is using 3rd party parental control apps. In the next part, we will mainly discuss 3rd party apps and Google Play, because these 2 ways work for most Android cellphones.
1.1 Use Parental Lock App (Recommended)
Even Google phones do not come with a dedicated Kid's Mode. So, just like any intellectual individual, they go for the simplest but effective option: the third-party apps. Among all the other apps, FamiGuard Parental Control has the most effective features and it is also capable of putting a parental lock on the internet. The app is not limited by any brand of smartphone models. It works on all Android devices with speed and efficiency. By using FamiGuard, parents will be capable of the following stuff.
You can decide on the certain time for children to use their cell phones.
You can directly lock the device when necessary to prevent oversuing the phone.
You can allow children to use apps and games only for a certain amount of time.
You can block children's access to websites instantly. Over 1 million websites supported.
You can check apps usage and web history remotely.
You will get notifications if any new apps are installed or any apps are uninstalled from the children's device.
Besides its powerful features, the installation and operation of FamiGuard are also very simple. It is a deliberate design choice so that even users with almost zero experience will be able to operate the app. So, let's have a look at the user-guide of FamiGuard parental lock app.
Step 1: You need to create an account with FamiGuard using your valid email ID.
Step 2: Then, get hold of your kid's mobile and download FamiGuard app there, from the Google Play Store.
Step 3: Now, sign in to your brand new account and set a PIN. This will determine that no one other than yourself will be able to access your account. Then, follow the installation wizard step by step.
Step 4: After the configuration, go the FamiGuard website and log in to the web control panel. From here, you will be able to monitor and control everything. You can also download FamiGuard app on your own device and select as Parent's Device. This way you can do all the operations via the smartphone.
Simple and efficient installation and operation procedure are one of the main reasons FamiGuard is considered the best parental lock app. But this child lock app is also packed with several other features as well, including GPS location tracking, geofence and alerts, view device activity and more.
1.2 Use Google Play Parental Controls
Besides FamiGuard there are other ways you can restrict the online downloads and purchases from Google Play, considering the maturity level of your child. The Google Play parental control is effective but compared to FamiGuard it has considerably less number of features and you won't be able to limit the cell phone usage.
Setting up the Google Play parental control is very simple. It works on Android devices that are signed in to Google via your kid's account. Here are the detailed steps:
Step 1: Open the Google Play Store app on your child's phone.
Step 2: Tap on "Menu" and then navigate to "Settings", where you can see "Parental controls" option.
Step 3: Then, tap on it and creat a PIN code to prevent children modify your settings. After that you can choose the type of content you want to filter and then you also have to select how you want to restrict the access.
After setting up the parental control; you will have control across all the apps and games, music, movies, TV and books.
Out of privacy concerns, Apple has removed several parental control apps. It's said that most of these third-party apps used the Mobile Device Management software which gives them access and control over the most sensitive device-related information like the location, app, email accounts, etc. As a result of it, the remaining parental lock apps are equipped with very limited features, which is not enough.
So, in terms of parental lock on the iPhone, you can use the official methods provided by Apple. They are also very effective in restricting your children's access to the cell phone. There are 2 main ways to do it, and they are detailed below:
2.1 Enable Guided Access on iPhone
The Guided Access can keep iPhone to a single app and allows you to decide which features are available. So, you can turn on this feature whenever you are giving your device to your kid.
Step 1: Open your iPhone and go to "Settings". Navigate to "General" then, tap on "Accessibility".
Step 2: Then, tap on "Guided Access" and turn it on.
Step 3: After that, tap on "Passcode Settings" and then tap "Set Guided Access Passcode".
Step 4: Finally, enter a password and then confirm it.
The Guided Access method is effective and to disabe it, you just need triple-click the Home button or side button and enter you passcode. Then tap End.
2.2 Use Default Screen Time Feature
You also have the privilege to set Content & Privacy Restrictions and App Limits with iOS 12 screen time feature . iPhone users are definitely be familiar with this. Nevtheless, let's have a look on how to set up this restriction on the iPhone:
Step 1: Open your iPhone and go to "Settings", tap on "Screen Time".
Step 2: After that, tap "Continue" and then you will have the option to choose between "This is My Device" or "This is My Child's Device".
Step 3: If you are setting up "App Limits" on your kid's device then, simply follow the prompts on the screen. You have to provide parent passcode and confirm it.
Step 4: Similarly, tap on "Content & Privacy Restrictions". With it you can block the explicit content on App Store and websites.
If you are using Family Sharing, it's also feasible to configure your child's device from you own device.
These are all very effective parental lock options for your Android and iPhone. But as you may have guessed, these are not the only available options; there are other available methods as well. Still, after analysing them properly we have come to the conclusion that these 4 are the best parental lock methods and specifically for Android FamiGuard Parental Control app is the best in the business. If you feel interested, don't miss its special 3-day free trial now!

Döpe bezeichnet einen See und ein Naturschutzgebiet an der Nordseite des Schweriner Außensees in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.

See Döpe
Der See Döpe liegt zwischen Hohen Viecheln und Flessenow an der Nordostseite des Schweriner Außensees auf dem Gemeindegebiet Ventschow. Der See hat eine Fläche von etwa 77 Hektar und eine Tiefe von 2 bis 10 Metern. Er ist etwa 1,9 Kilometer lang und 0,57 Kilometer breit. Den Zufluss erhält die Döpe über den Wittenbach, der aus dem Wittensee und dem Ventschower See gespeist wird. Auf der Döpe liegt die Insel Schwanenberg.

Wegen des Naturreichtums und der Lage des Sees im Naturschutzgebiet Döpe ist das Baden und Befahren verboten. Das Angeln ist nur unter besonderen Auflagen erlaubt.

Entstehung des Sees
Die Döpe füllte eine flache Senke aus, welche durch das Tauen übersandeter Toteisreste in der 3 km breiten Sanderschüttung der pommerschen Haupteisrandlage entstand. Es handelt sich um einen meso-eutrophen Flachsee, der als Klarwassersee ausgebildet ist. Der Wasserspiegel liegt etwa 50 cm über dem des Schweriner Außensees. Der Hauptzufluss ist der Wietenbach an der Ostseite. Das Schutzgebiet entwässert zum Schweriner Außensee.

Naturschutzgebiet Döpe

Das Naturschutzgebiet Döpe umfasst den See Döpe, die Landbrücke zwischen Döpe und dem Schweriner Außensee und einen Teil der Bucht des Schweriner Sees bei Hohen Viecheln. Es hat eine Größe von 215 ha und besteht seit 1941 mit einer Erweiterung im Jahr 1972. Die Gebietsbetreuung übernimmt der Naturschutzbund Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. Das Naturschutzgebiet ist Bestandteil des FFH-Gebietes Schweriner Außensee und angrenzende Wälder und Moore.

Schutzzweck
Der Schutzzweck des Naturschutzgebietes besteht in Erhalt und Entwicklung eines Durchströmungssees mit angrenzenden Schwingröhrichten, Feuchtwiesen und Erlenbruchwäldern. Der aktuelle Zustand des Gebietes ist unbefriedigend. Der noch vor zwanzig Jahren mesotrophe See befindet sich heute im eutrophen Zustand. Ursache sind die stark angestiegenen Bestände an rastenden Gänsen und Enten, sowie Nährstoffeinträge aus den angrenzend landwirtschaftlich genutzten Flächen. Durch Pflegemaßnahmen geförderte Reste von Feuchtwiesen und Magerrasen haben sich hingegen positiv entwickelt.

Nutzungsgeschichte
Am Nordufer des Döpe-Sees wurden bis zum ausgehenden 19. Jahrhundert Torfstiche im Durchströmungsmoor angelegt, die jedoch inzwischen verlandet sind. Im 20. Jahrhundert. erfolgte eine Beweidung der Grünlandflächen und kleinflächig eine ackerbauliche Nutzung der Landzunge zwischen Schweriner See und Döpe. Die Feuchtwiesen sind nach 1990 nur noch sporadisch durch Mahd genutzt worden. Seit 2001 übernimmt der Landschafts- und Kulturpflegeverein "Schweriner Außensee- und Umgebung e.V." die Pflegenutzung einiger Grünlandflächen mittels Schafbeweidung.

Vegetation
Den See umgeben, v. a. am West- und Nordufer, breite Verlandungsgürteln, welche im Wesentlichen aus Laichkrautbeständen, Schwimmblattvegetation und Röhrichten bestehen. Von floristischem Interesse sind im Gebiet Erlenbruchbestände, Wiesen auf kalkreichem Niedermoor sowie Wald- und Gebüschbestände. Bestandserfassungen der vergangenen Jahrzehnte erbrachten 405 Arten Blüten- und Farnpflanzen und 236 Großpilzarten. Die ursprüngliche Unterwasservegetation eines kalkreichen Durchströmungssees ist nahezu verschwunden. Ausgebreitet haben sich stattdessen das Kamm-Laichkraut und das Krause Laichkraut. Die westlich an den See angrenzenden Schwingröhrichte umfassen Schneidriede, die in Bestände von Grau- und Schwarzerle sowie Lorbeerweiden übergehen. Die sich anschließenden Groß- und Kleinseggenriede sind artenreich unt enthalten neben 22 Seggenarten auch die Stumpfblütige Binse, Breitblättriges Wollgras, Sumpfplatterbse und Teufelsabbiss. Der Verlandungssaum im Nordosten wird von Erlenbruchwäldern und Erlen-Eschen-Moorbirkenwäldern gebildet. Das steil zum Wasser abfallende Kliff an der Ostseite der Döpe trägt auf Sandstandorten moosreiche Steilhangwälder, die von Rotbuche beherrscht werden. Bedeutsam ist weiterhin das Vorkommen von Wildobstgehölzen entlang der Landzunge am Standort des alten slawischen Burgwalls. Auf Feuchtwiesen im Nordwesten des Gebiets wachsen Orchideen wie Steif- und Breitblättriges Knabenkraut sowie Zweiblatt. Auf den angrenzenden Sanderausläufern finden sich Silbergrasfluren.

Tierwelt
Aus zoologischer Sicht ist die Döpe ein bedeutendes Brut-, Nahrungs- und Rastbiotop für Wasser- und Wiesenvögel. Dazu zählen Kormoran, Kolbenente, Reiherente, Rohrweihe und Beutelmeise. In den Herbst- und Wintermonaten wurden stellenweise bis zu 6.000 Reiherenten gezählt. In den letzten Jahren wurden bis zu 55 Brutvogelarten ermittelt, darunter Rohrdommel, Rohrschwirl und Drosselrohrsänger. Amphibien und Reptilien sind mit 13 Arten vertreten, wozu auch die stark gefährdete Rotbauchunke zählt. Das NSG gehört zu den ständigen Aufenthaltsorten des Fischotters.

Das Betreten des Naturschutzgebietes ist nicht gestattet, da es sich um ein Totalreservat handelt. Dies wäre auch in den moorigen Gebieten lebensgefährlich. Die einzige Möglichkeit, das Gebiet zu durchqueren, bildet ein öffentlicher Fuß- und Radwanderweg, der von Hohen Viecheln nach Flessenow führt.

A CALL IN DEFENSE OF OUR FORESTS AND THEIR PEOPLES
Against the climate emergency, the Emancipa Movement calls everyone to mobilize for the Global Climate Strike on September 20th.
The capitalist system is going through one of its crises, causing economic recession, worse social conditions for the majority of the population and the closure of minimally democratic spaces. At this time the threat impacts an even more elemental aspect from the acceleration of an unprecedented ecological and climate crisis: the human life on planet.
Since the 1960s a lot of evidence has pointed out that this system, based on the accumulation of wealth in complete disconnection from the limits of nature – Capitalism -, besides not bringing well-being to society as a whole, could lead the planet to a total collapse.
The year of 2015 was very emblematic in the fight for climate justice because, in addition to launching a minimum agenda to combat global warming through the Paris Agreement, it was when scientists identified that the concentration of greenhouse gases reached the highest level in human history, making many people aware of the importance of environmentalist struggles and isolating the climate deniers funded by the great capitalists of the fossil fuel industry.
The latest UN experts panel report on climate change identified that we have only 12 years to stop global warming, showing that the acceleration of climate change is happening so intensely that not only future generations are at risk, but also our generation. If nothing changes in a short period of time, we will see intensification of glacier melting, rising sea levels, extreme weather events such as hurricanes, storms, floods, droughts and wildfires, with impacts on biodiversity loss, food production and aggravation of migratory processes. The impacts of climate change have devastating effects on a wide range of human rights, including right to life, health, food, housing and water, as well as the right to a healthy environment for present and future generations. It's in this serious scenario of global climate crisis, when a structural change of this destructive system that can lead us to extinction becomes fundamental, where is placed the latest attacks of the Bolsonaro Government on the Amazon forest, the largest tropical forest in the world and the fundamental biome for the climate balance of the planet.
For sure this process has not started this year. The historical process of conflicts and land exploitation in the Amazon Forest has been subject of constant political, economic, environmental and social disputes over the time. The attacks on the Amazon are experienced daily from the destruction made by loggers, land grabbing and hydroelectric dams – such as Belo Monte hydropower plant, which in the Workers Party government was a point of struggle and resistance of the traditional and indigenous populations of the northern region.
Our people have always lived the combination of earth and blood, such as some brilliant leaders like Tuíra Kayapó, Dorothy Stang, Chico Mendes, Jose Claudio Ribeiro da Silva, Maria do Espírito Santo da Silva and many others anonymous fighters that got killed in an endless conflict between the capitalist accumulation project and the peoples of the forest and countryside. After all, the indigenous, amazon people, riverside, caiçaras, quilombolas and many other population represent a backwardness to what capitalism understand by "progress". As if there was a full well being in the big cities and metropolitan regions.
It's always important to remember that our indigenous and traditional peoples are waging a historic battle to contain the advance of this system that has already destroyed more than 90% of the Atlantic Forest and more than half of the Cerrado and the Caatinga, another important biomes in Brazil. Our country, in addition to having the largest biodiversity and environmental heritage in the world, has an important contingent of traditional peoples, such as indigenous, quilombolas, riverside, caiçaras, who fight for the maintenance of their way of life and their right to exist for more than 500 years. They struggle to keep the forest standing in the country that is more violent for activists of land and environmental rights.
However the Bolsonaro government's agenda today represents the complete breaking down of environmental policy, that was built with much struggle over the past 40 years. In addition to the personal mockery which Bolsonaro addresses the environmental issues, the government has taken an explicitly anti-ecological stance, even with speeches that deny the occurrence and importance of tackling climate change – starting with the extinction of the National Environment Council and the National Fund on Climate Change, instituted by law, and the appointment of Ricardo Salles to the Ministry of the Environment, with support from agribusiness and the Federation of Industries of the State of São Paulo (Fiesp).
According to a recent data from INPE (National Institute for Space Research), areas with deforestation warning increased by 90% in June and 278% in July, compared to the same months of the last year. In the Amazon, the deforested area is already equivalent to the extension of the territory of countries like Germany. This sharp increase in deforestation in recent months also adds to a worrying growth trend since 2012, which reflects the consequences of the solutions presented by the ruling class to the economic crisis and the complete subordination of governments to agribusiness interests. It's a model of primitive accumulation that reproduces the colonial logic, so structurally present in our development model even today.
Instead of acting to control deforestation, the Bolsonaro government decided to fight against official data and fired the INPE Director last month. The crisis has escalated in recent weeks with the announcement by the Norwegian and German governments of a stoppage in the sending of funds to the Amazon Fund and the unprecedented boos received by the Brazilian environment minister at an international climate meeting in the presence of 26 countries. Still during this week, the serious problem of forest fires in the Amazon region and the arrival of a huge cloud of smoke in the southeast of the country, which darkened the afternoon of the city of Sao Paulo on August 19th, ended by breaking the isolation of the fight in defense of our forest, demonstrating that the protection of the Amazon forest is a necessity of the whole country.
In response to this critical world scenario, new processes of political organization and mass mobilization in defense of the climate have emerged in many places around the world, starting from a strong youth leadership. They are outraged young people who see no perspectives for their future with the acceleration of global warming and the lack of commitment of political class to building structural responses to the ecological and climate crisis. These new mobilization processes have taken thousands of young people to the streets in many cities around the world, through initiatives such as student strikes for climate and various protests in front of parliaments and government headquarters, demanding the recognition that we are facing a climate emergency.
In this context, the climate movements are calling for a new Global Climate Strike in September 20th. Given the escalation of the Bolsonaro government's environmental crisis, the enormous national and international repercussions on the advance of deforestation and forest fires in the Amazon and the street demonstrations that took place in various parts of the country last week, we believe that this act has an enormous importance and the potential to reach large proportions in many Brazilian cities.
We know that capitalist development and preservation of the environment are irreconcilable things, since one of the pillars that supports this system is the endless exploitation of nature as an infinite natural resource. That's why it's so essential to be part of the movements that are being organized, not only to denounce the disastrous consequences of this type of policy at all levels, but also to draw some ways out – which mainly include understanding capitalism as the roots of the problem and the need for its overcoming.
The Emancipa Movement of Popular Education, as a tool for organizing peripheral youth, wants to participate in this process by mobilizing its entire base of teachers, students and supporters in the communities, from Santarém to Porto Alegre, to build a powerful Global Climate Strike on September 20th. We will be in the streets from north to south of the country, organizing from the amazon youth to the suburbs of big cities, sowing the way to another necessary world.
Therefore we recommend all units of Emancipa in Brazil to promote with students, communities, specialists and university members, all sort of activities like open classes, debates, formation in order to organize a new cycle of struggle in defense of the climate.
Our challenge is to carry life to the 22nd century, offering a decent life to the inhabitants of this planet in the 21st century. The challenge is huge, but it has the size of our dreams and of our courage. The next few years are probably the most important in our history. We will be stand up to it! They will not destroy our future!
Emancipa Movement of Popular Education
Salve salve Emancipa. Esse mérito da conquista de inclusão da universidade, não é individual, é coletivo, por isso vocês são mais um dos movimentos que contribuiram com essa minha luta de inclusão através das cotas raciais na universidade pública, valeu.

The Argentine superstar was rested along with nearly the entire XI that had played in Manchester, for the weekend LaLiga 0-0 draw over bottom side Huesca.
Barcelona now sit at the summit of the LaLiga table, nine points ahead of second-placed Atletico Madrid and 14 points ahead of third-placed Real Madrid.
"For me, Luis is the same as always, which is playing at the high level he always maintains", Valverde said last month after Suarez earned a penalty and set up another goal in a 5-1 win over Lyon in the round of 16.
Dembele came closest to a goal in the first half after a brilliant reverse pass from the talented Riqui Puig, one of a number of youngsters given a chance to impress.
With a cut on the bridge of his nose and his eyelid, the 31-year-old was taken off the pitch as play resumed at Old Trafford.
'We will be true to our style but we are also aware of what they have in attack and the game can't become you attack us, we attack you. "The first leg result is not definitive". He also handed defender Paolo Gozzi, 17, his Serie A debut.
"We will make changes but with the aim of putting out a competitive team".
The club is now at sixth in the Premier League table and faces an uphill task to secure Champions League qualification places. Sometimes you can't always be on your game and we have to be honest that today and in the Watford game we have been poor.
"We paid a little for our inexperience", said Allegri.
And this away match will be the toughest game of the likeable Norwegian's at the club yet.
It was SPAL's first win against the Italian champions since February 1957 and only Juventus' second league defeat of the season.
Overall, they were better than Huesca but never really got out of second gear. He rediscovered some enthusiasm today and it wasn't easy for him psychologically of late to have only 20 minutes or so and then get hurt again.
Kean opened after half an hour with Joao Cancelo pushing through the right with his shot going wide before the teenager stuck out his foot to redirect the ball home.
But SPAL held on to move up to 13th, seven points above the drop zone, having already beaten Champions League-chasing Lazio and Roma.
A clever touch and finish from inside the box by from SPAL's No 10 Floccari gave his side the lead in the 72nd minute just as Juventus had started to increase the pressure.
Jane Sanders was a co-founder of the nonprofit, along with her son, David Driscoll, who became the institute's executive director. By 2018, his wife, 69, was also taking Social Security, providing the couple with almost $52,000 for the year.

Will The MLB Lockout Mean No Minor League Baseball in Iowa?
Ryan "Brain" Brainard
Ryan "Brain" Brainard Published: December 3, 2021
Back in 1994, the Major League Baseball strike canceled the World Series and nearly destroyed America's pastime. Now, in 2021, we can only hope that the two sides take a look back at history and not let those mistakes repeat themselves. MLB owners locked out players this week in the first works stoppage in baseball since 1994. The move brought the off-season to a halt. But how does the move affect Iowa's minor league baseball teams, including the Cedar Rapids Kernels?
According to the Des Moines Register, life will go on as normal for Minor League Baseball, at least for now. MLB and their work stoppage will NOT prevent the minors from holding their minicamps, spring training, or extended spring training for players that are not on a Major League team's 40 man roster. The Register reports that the Iowa Cubs, Cedar Rapids Kernels, and Quad City River Bandits are all expected to play their seasons in 2022, even if the current lockout extends into the MLB regular season.
If that ends up happening, the Register says then there could be some changes to Minor League team rosters. Members of a Major League team's 40 man roster are covered by the Collective Bargaining Agreement and therefore would not be able to suit up in the minors. Many minor league teams are still dealing with the financial losses that COVID dealt them the past two seasons. Teams are still trying to make up financially and in terms of player development. Fortunately, it appears that for now, it'll be "Play Ball" for the minors.

Minister Grange saddened by the passing of Reggae Singer, Jimmy Riley
Ministry of Culture, Gender Affairs, Entertainment | 2016-03-23 00:00:00
Minister of Culture, Gender, Entertainment and Sport, the Honourable Olivia 'Babsy' Grange, says she was deeply saddened by the news that veteran Jamaican singer, Jimmy Riley, died in New York.
The Minister said that her long association with Riley and their close professional relationship made the news extremely heartrending. She said that she was sure that the entire entertainment community is grief stricken.
Minister Grange said that the passing of this talented singer/songwriter, musician is a tremendous loss to Jamaica and the world as through his lyrics and professionalism he impacted the lives of many. "While we are saddened by Jimmy's passing, we must never forget the contribution that he has made to reggae music. We must continue to be inspired by his work and the strength he showed while he battled a terrible illness," she said.
After losing his battle against cancer, Jimmy passed away with his children and family at his side. He was born Martin James Norman Riley in 1954 in Kingston and although he formed the Sensations and was a leading member of the Uniques, which was led by the late Slim Smith, he was also very popular as a solo artiste with hits including- 'Love & Devotion', 'Rougher Yet', 'My Woman's Love' and 'Black Mother's Prayers'.
Minister Grange has also expressed her condolences to the family and friends of Jimmy Riley, as well as members of the music fraternity, while highlighting the rich musical legacy which he has left behind.
Riley was also the father of reggae star, Tarrus Riley. He nurtured the development of his son's early career, which has propelled him into one of the most internationally acclaimed reggae artists.

Research reports frequently omit important information. As such, reporting guidelines have been developed for a number of study designs that some journals may ask authors to follow. Authors are encouraged to also consult the reporting guidelines relevant to their specific research design. A good source of reporting guidelines is the EQUATOR Network (http://www.equator-network.org/home/) and the United States National Institutes of Health/National Library of Medicine (http://www.nlm.nih.gov/services/research_report_guide.html).
CACD reviews all manuscripts received. A manuscript is first reviewed for its format and adherence to the aims and scope of the journal. If the manuscript meets these two criteria. It is checked for plagiarism or duplicate publication with Similarity Check. After confirming its result, it is dispatched to three investigators in the field with relevant knowledge. Once the manuscript is sent to reviewers, CACD waits to receive opinions from at least two reviewers. In addition, if deemed necessary, a review of statistics may be requested. The authors' names and affiliations are removed during peer review (double-blind peer review). The acceptance criteria for all papers are based on the quality and originality of the research and its scientific significance. Acceptance of the manuscript is decided based on the critiques and recommended decision of the reviewers. An initial decision will normally be made within 4 weeks of receipt of a manuscript, and the reviewers' comments are sent to the corresponding author by e-mail. The corresponding author must indicate the alterations that have been made in response to the reviewers' comments item by item. Failure to resubmit the revised manuscript within 4 weeks of the editorial decision is regarded as a withdrawal. If further revision period is required, the author should contact the editorial office through form mail, available from: https://www.e-cacd.org/about/contact.php . A final decision on acceptance/rejection for publication is forwarded to the corresponding author from the editor.

Direct Recording Electronic Voting Systems (DRE) are some of the most popular forms of electronic voting and yet they are riddled with problems. Current voting systems are poorly designed and migration to newer software can be costly. Inadequate software solutions in voting systems have led to security flaws, bad tabulation, and partisan software design. As government proceeds into an increasingly sophisticated era of voting technology, it needs to consider a better platform. This thesis explores the government procurement strategy associated with modern Direct Recording Electronic Voting Systems. The thesis argues that governments should adopt an open source solution (OSS) for future IT acquisition of voting systems. Adopting an open source solution not only provides practical advantages such as better software design, cheaper implementation, and avoidance of vendor lock-in, but also proposes that OSS provides a strong foundation for future IT policy. Open source's strength in transparency provides a key factor in voting system design. The thesis recommends that governments adopt a four part strategy for future OSS adoption with voting system.
1) Approve an independent, pro-OSS certification organization that works closely with the U.S Election Assistance Commission, National Institute of Standards and Technology, and other system organizations to create the optimal voting systems guidelines.
2) Update FAR requirements to greater accommodate open source procurement policy.
3) Assist local and state jurisdictions to acquire OSS for DRE machines.
This thesis contends that these four policies will improve the electronic voting experience and allow for better future innovation and adoption IT strategies.

Stay up-to-date with what Healthy Families Waitakere have been doing the community.
International experts, ranging from public health to urban design, are meeting in Dunedin this week for the Active Living and Environment Symposium at Otago University, to discuss the link between health, transport and the environment.
Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Hoani Waititi is one of several west Auckland schools that have moved to a water-only drinks policy. This has been supported by Healthy Families Waitakere to help influence healthier school environments.
A report released by the Ministry of Health has highlighted the key achievements of Healthy Families Waitakere in developing and implementing prevention-based systems change for the Waitakere community throughout its first three years of action.
Park users in parts of West Auckland will have increased access to fresh water with the installation of five new water fountains over the next month.
The investment in the new fountains has been a priority for the Whau Local Board, which contributed funding to the project last year.
The fountains will be installed in popular parks, including some where sports clubs are located. These include Brains Park, Sister Rene Shadbolt Park, Eastdale Reserve, Lawson Park and Blockhouse Bay Recreational Reserve.
The Whau Local Board has worked alongside Healthy Families Waitakere to engage with the park and sports club users, as well as community members regularly using the facilities, for recommendations on where the fountains should be placed, in high traffic areas.
"We consulted with the local sports clubs involved to determine the best location for these fountains. These clubs are increasingly promoting water as the best choice of drink for their members while playing sport and giving users access to fresh drinking water is a critical part of this," says Healthy Families Waitakere Manager Kerry Allan.
Healthy Families Waitakere has been working across West Auckland to help different sectors of the community – including schools, clubs, workplaces and recreational facilities – to tackle sugary drink intake, and ultimately drive the consumption of water.
"The placement of these fountains in public parks, where people are playing, exercising and socialising, is another important step to increasing access to fresh water – and helping our community make it their drink of choice," adds Ms Allan.
Whau Local Board Chair Tracy Mulholland says the Board is committed to the ongoing investment in water fountains as part of the rejuvenation of local parks, gardens and reserves alongside other work, such as the development of new paths and cycleways.
"A key focus for our board is to support more active and healthier lifestyles and the installation of water fountains helps encourage people to get out and use our parks and open spaces for recreational purposes," she says.
The new fountains will include both fountains and bottle fillers, and some will also include dog drinking trays.
As part of West Auckland's pro water movement, a number of local leaders including politicians, school principals, councillors and primary healthcare organisations are joining others in signing the Healthy Families Waitakere water pledge. The pledge is a social movement to creative more health promoting environments where water is the first and best choice for all.
Healthy Families Waitakere convened stakeholders and educators from the early childhood sector to develop ideas and create early learning environments where children eat well and are more physically active.
Over a series of workshops, six different stakeholders came together with teachers from 70 West Auckland centres. The workshops provided a space for shared learnings and collective thinking towards actions to positively influence the health and wellbeing of under 5's.
Educators have had success in making significant changes to their teaching practices and centre procedures. Ranui Kindergarten teachers gained an understanding of how to apply culturally relevant strategies to promote physical activity and re-designed their play activities to reflect Māori knowledge and practices.
Teacher Tui Cusack said they were inspired to apply a cultural lens to their sessions to cater to the 55% Māori children attending the kindergarten. "The teaching team looked at ways to weave a Māori physical activity framework into our setting so put what we learnt into practice and the children responded well." she says.
Glendene Learning Steps focused on improving their environment and resources to increase physical activity in the centre. Teaching staff redeveloped a number of their active play resources, introduced new activities and upgraded their playground. Teacher, Nalina Nand said the new resources added value to their sessions around play, "The kids are more active since the new resources have been introduced", she says.
Discoveries Educare in Te Atatu Peninsula want to inspire other centres nationwide to make positive changes around food provision. The centre is working towards the gold level of the Heart Foundation's Healthy Heart Award and made improvements to their menu by adding a wider variety of fruit and vegetables.
Staff have also seen less food waste since engaging parents in ways to create healthier lunchboxes.
"Over half of a child's daily diet is consumed at day care, we want our centre to set an example for all Discoveries day care centres to create consistency across the organisation around healthy food messages and to show children that food is fun and nutritious", says Manager Jessie Lin.
Healthy Families Waitakere Manager Kerry Allan says early learning environments play a huge role in children's wellbeing with most children spending up to 6 hours a day in early childhood centres.
"By bringing the early childhood community together to think differently about the underlying causes of poor health, we can make changes to create more health promoting early childhood centres to set the foundations for a healthier future for tamariki".

CD: The Darkness - Last of Our Kind
The Hawkins brothers get heavy, lose their charm
by Russ CoffeySaturday, 30 May 2015
The Darkness: ain't no double entendre
The Darkness, despite their current sober lifestyle, claim to be back with music that makes "women weak at the knees and men shit their pants". If only. The lorry loads of booze and cocaine may be a thing of the past, but also, it seems, is their muse. Somewhere along the way, the boys have forgotten what people love about them.
The Darkness, despite their current sober lifestyle, claim to be back with music that makes "women weak at the knees and men shit their pants". If only. The lorry loads of booze and cocaine may be a thing of the past, but also, it seems, is their muse. Somewhere along the way, the boys have forgotten what people love about them. And for all the industrial riffs and squealing vocals, Last of Our Kind doesn't actually offer much in the way of fun.
Ironically, trying to sound less like a parody, has, if anything, made the band even more cartoonish. Before the heavy-grinding "Mudslide", for instance, a Mr T-soundalike announces "This ain't no double entendre". That may be true but it's not half as enjoyable as their usual, smutty, innuendo-laden fare.
The most risqué song here is "Hammer and Tongs"; and, fittingly it's also probably the best. Many of the others just sound a bit like Saxon. Still "Sarah O Sarah" is light and bouncy, with plenty of guitar harmonies. It reminds you how effortlessly the Hawkins brothers used to be able to toss off a catchy tune; and what excellent guitar players they are. So how did they come to be involved in making such a turgid album?
Maybe no-one can tell them what does and doesn't work any more? A recent press release explaining the departure of drummer Emily Dolan Davies hints that working with the band can be a tricky business. The text explaining their "fond farewells" appeared under a photo of Justin Hawkins stripped to the waist sporting an Edwardian moustache whilst carrying a tawny owl. Once upon a time that would have seemed amusingly eccentric. Now it just seems a little maniacal.

I would strongly question whether the reviewer actually listened to the album for more than thirty seconds before writing this "review" and would also question his knowledge of music in general. Last Of Our Kind is a rarity in this day and age....a creative masterpiece where the sum is greater than the parts. This is a complete body of work where the bands meshes a variety of styles and sounds into a complete work of art. The guitar work is simply tremendous throughout.....the songwriting clever, catchy, and memorable. Great job guys.

Steven Moffat knows what will make Doctor Who better
Carol Pinchefsky
@CarolPinchefsky
Tag: Steven Moffat
Doctor Who is wonderful fun for those who love to follow the Doctor's adventures in time and space. But it isn't perfect. Even showrunner Steven Moffat acknowledges that the show could use improvements. According to iNews, Moffat said, "I don't think it's as good as it could be."
And the solution requires more Benjamins.
More Doctor Who
Twitter is freaking out over that big reveal in the season premiere of Doctor Who
Could Doctor Who's TARDIS really be bigger on the inside? Physics says...
Moffat says that, despite Who's success, it's not well funded compared to other shows of its caliber. And it has the same funding as shows with lower production values. "I want more than three monsters on screen at a time," he said.
The joy of onscreen sci-fi frequently includes effects, props and costumes that need to be created each week, and the bulk of the budget goes to items that aren't reusable (except infrequently). It's sad that Moffat's storytelling is limited, but it's not at all surprising.
And speaking of storytelling, when asked about Who's complicated plots, Moffat also told iNews, "I've never met anyone who finds Doctor Who 'difficult'. Hand on heart, if you think Doctor Who is difficult, then Breaking Bad is really going to confuse you."
Now, that's one hell of a story.

New Opinion on Personal-injury Claims in Bankruptcy
Today the Tennessee Court of Appeals, Western Section, issued its opinion in Lane v. Daniel, No. W2012-01684-COA-R3-CV (Tenn. Ct. App. May 29, 2013). The summary from the opinion reads as follows:
This case involves the application of the statute of limitations to an intervening personal injury complaint filed by a bankruptcy trustee after the defendants asserted that the original plaintiff, the debtor in the bankruptcy proceeding, lacked standing to bring the claim. Once the bankruptcy trustee became aware of the claim, he filed a motion for intervention, or in the alternative, for substitution pursuant to Rule 17.01 of the Tennessee Rules of Civil Procedure. The trial court granted the trustee's motion and the trustee later filed an intervening complaint. The trial court, however, later dismissed the case, reasoning that because the first complaint was filed by a party without standing, the original complaint was a nullity. Under this theory, the trial court concluded that the action was commenced upon the filing of the trustee's intervening complaint, which was undisputedly outside the applicable statute of limitations. Having determined that the plaintiff's original complaint was not a nullity, we conclude that the trustee's intervening complaint relates back to the original complaint and, thus, was filed within the applicable statute of limitations. Accordingly, we reverse and remand.

Medical Malpractice (n.k.a. Health Care Liability Action): Tennessee Supreme Court Holds That 120-day Extension of the Statute of Limitations Does Not Apply to Governmental Entities
The Tennessee Supreme Court just decided Cunningham v. Williamson Cnty. Hosp. Dist., No. M2011-00554-SC-S09-CV (Tenn. May 9, 2013). The summary of the opinion reads as follows:
A husband and wife filed a claim against a county hospital alleging that the negligence of the hospital and its employees caused the death of their son. The claim was filed approximately fifteen months after their son's death in accordance with the provisions of the Tennessee Medical Malpractice Act. See Tenn. Code Ann. § 29-26-121 (2012). The county hospital, a governmental entity, filed a motion to dismiss, arguing that the claim was filed outside the one-year statute of limitations of the Governmental Tort Liability Act ("GTLA"). Tenn. Code Ann. § 29-20-305(b) (2012). The couple responded that their complaint was timely filed because Tennessee Code Annotated section 29-26-121(c) extended the GTLA statute of limitations by 120 days. The trial court denied the hospital's motion to dismiss but granted an interlocutory appeal under Rule 9 of the Tennessee Rules of Appellate Procedure. The Court of Appeals granted the Rule 9 application and affirmed the trial court's denial of the hospital's motion to dismiss. We granted the hospital permission to appeal. We hold that the 120-day extension provided by Tennessee Code Annotated section 29-26-121(c) does not apply to the plaintiffs' claim brought under the GTLA. We therefore reverse the judgment of the trial court denying the hospital's motion to dismiss and remand the case to the trial court for entry of an order dismissing Mr. and Mrs. Cunningham's complaint.

NOTE: This is a follow-up post to my Dec. 1, 2012 one. Please see that one too.
Moreover, this is a must-read opinion for any lawyer who handles health care liability actions (f.k.a. medical malpractice actions) against governmental entities. It may, however, only be applicable to cases that accrued before October 1, 2011, which can be discerned from a careful reading of the opinion.

Medical Malpractice (a.k.a. Health Care Liability Action): Plaintiff's Case Dismissed Due to Insufficiency of Service of Process
The Tennessee Court of Appeals just issued its opinion in Milton v. Etezadi, No. E2012-00777-COA-R3-CV (Tenn. Ct. App. May 3, 2013). The summary from the opinion states as follows:
This case presents the issue of whether proper service of process was accomplished regarding the defendant, Saeed Etezadi, M.D. Plaintiff, Will J. Milton, filed a medical malpractice action against Dr. Etezadi on April 14, 2003. The complaint and summons were served upon Dr. Etezadi's office manager, with a notation appearing on the summons that service was accepted as "agent." Dr. Etezadi filed an answer which, inter alia, raised the affirmative defense of insufficiency of service of process. Mr. Milton voluntarily dismissed that action and subsequently re-filed within one year of the non-suit. In connection with the second action, the complaint and summons were allegedly served upon Dr. Etezadi at his office. Dr. Etezadi filed an Answer, again raising the affirmative defense of insufficiency of service of process. Dr. Etezadi also asserted that all applicable statutes of limitation and repose had expired. He later filed a motion to dismiss. Following the hearing, the trial court dismissed the claims against Dr. Etezadi, finding that there was no service of process in either action. Mr. Milton appeals. We affirm.

Q: Populate a UIImageView from a .plist I have a .plist that references paths to .png files ( key value = "maps" ). I am able to add the images to an array with by using this code while loading the view:
-(void)viewDidLoad  {

NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"countries" ofType:@"plist"];
NSArray *countries = [NSArray arrayWithContentsOfFile:path];
NSSortDescriptor *descriptor = [[[NSSortDescriptor alloc] initWithKey:@"maps" ascending:NO] autorelease];
self.sortedCountries = [countries sortedArrayUsingDescriptors:[NSArray arrayWithObject:descriptor]];

}

I am able to add the images to TableViewCells by using this method:
-(UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView
    cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {}

What I am trying to do is add these same images to an instance of UIImageView in a new ViewController. I have the ViewController set up properly, but how can I pull the images from the array do display in a UIImageView as I did for the UITableViewCells?

A: when you selecting the row of table following method get call-

- (NSIndexPath *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView willSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {

    UserDetailVC* userDetailVC=[[UserDetailVC alloc] initWithNibName:@"UserDetailVC" bundle:nil];
    [userDetailVC autorelease];
    //imp- set the image over here
        NSDictionary* tempDict=[yourArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
        userDetailVC.selectedImageView.image=[tempDict objectForKey:@"imageName"];
    [self.navigationController pushViewController:userDetailVC animated:YES];

    return nil;
}

so tried this, this will definitely gone help you.
