An All-State guard in high school, James Toney, was offered a basketball scholarship to play at Seton Hall. James struggled with drug addiction. In 1973, he was jailed for drug possession when his son was still an infant. When he was released, James agreed to give up his parental visitation rights to his son's stepfather, Philip A. Harrison, and his mother, Lucille.
At 21 years old, his stepson wrote, "When my mother needed someone 21 years ago, Philip Harrison was the man…My father joined the Army when I was two so he could make a better living and also so he could get us out of the 'hood. I was born two years before my parents were married." In an interview, he expressed, "Just because you bring a child into the world, it doesn't make you a father."
Sergeant (Sgt) Harrison watched his stepson leave the house for his first day of school. He was the one who admired his elementary school artwork on the refrigerator. Sgt Harrison was the one who disciplined his stepson. He saw his first basketball dunk. Sgt Harrison eventually moved his family to Wildlflecken (Bavaria), Germany where he was stationed as a drill instructor. Even after entering his stepson's life, his stepson had a habit of acting out and getting into trouble.
Life for his stepson was difficult, but eventually Sgt Harrison was able to help his stepson reverse his course. While living in Germany, he continued to rebel (getting in fights, hitting teachers, breaking into cars, etc.) in hopes he would be sent back to the U.S. Sgt Harrison ended that dream telling his stepson, " Look, son, now matter what you do, I'm not letting them send you back. And if you don't listen to me, I'm going to beat your butt. Every…single…day."
Sgt Harrison's stepson went on to play basketball in college and the NBA. Here are just a few of his son's career highlights and awards:
NBA Rookie of the Year (1993)
4x NBA Champion (2000, 2001, 2002 & 2006)
3x NBA Finals MVP (2000-2002)
NBA Most Valuable Player (2000)
Gold Medal Olympic Games (Atlanta 1996)
During his playing days, he went by many nicknames: Superman, The Big Cactus, The Diesel, or The Big Shamrock. Now retired from basketball, Shaquille O'Neal or Shaq is best known as one of the most dominant players in the history of the NBA. In addition to his basketball career, Shaquille O'Neal has released four rap albums, with his first going platinum. He's also appeared in several films and starred in his own reality shows. Shaquille is currently an analyst on the television program "Inside the NBA."
As a result of his stepfather's influence and military background, Shaquille O'Neal has made a public service a priority in his life. His service ranges from donations to charities and organizations across the country to working as a reserve police officer in Los Angeles, Miami and Phoenix. As far as his career in law enforcement, "I am not a hero. My [step]father was my hero growing up."

The arrival of new Northern Secretary Karen Bradley in Belfast yesterday, just two days after her appointment, was a positive sign that she is interested in getting the powersharing institutions up and running again.
She faces an uphill task in attempting to achieve what her predecessor James Brokenshire could not manage over the past year. The continuing controversy prompted by the inexcusable behaviour of Sinn Féin MP Barry McElduff has made an already bad situation even worse.
The unavoidable decision of Brokenshire to step down for health reasons is a real pity. When he took over the position after the accession of Theresa May as prime minister in September 2016, few people in Ireland had heard of him.
He quickly demonstrated a real commitment to the job and spent a considerable amount of time in Northern Ireland. He brought his family over for regular visits – in sharp contrast to his predecessor Theresa Villiers, who gave the impression she wanted to spend as little time as possible in the North. Brokenshire also showed a far greater willingness to come to Dublin on a regular basis to meet senior Government figures. But despite his best efforts he could not manage to persuade the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) and Sinn Féin to find a way of working together.
Nationalists questioned his independence after the deal between the Conservative Party and the DUP, which kept Theresa May in office and, however unfair the charge, his ability to act as honest broker was compromised.
His failure illustrates the task facing Bradley, who had never set foot in Northern Ireland before yesterday. Her decision to come to Belfast so quickly after her appointment and to come to Dublin tomorrow to meet Tánaiste Simon Coveney demonstrates a seriousness of purpose, but that alone will not be enough to turn things around. Everything will depend on the attitude of the DUP and Sinn Féin and whether they are willing to make the compromises necessary to work together again. Sadly, the evidence to date is that they are not.
The grossly insensitive behaviour of McElduff towards the families of the Kingsmill massacre victims has made compromise all that more difficult to achieve. The claim that he was unaware of the potential insult is simply not believable. The mildness of Sinn Féin's disciplinary action – a three-month suspension from the party – has not helped matters. Mary Lou McDonald's insistence that the response was "appropriate" has certainly not assuaged the anger of the victims' relatives.
Sinn Féin has made much of the DUP's failure to respect the concerns of nationalists on the Irish language and gay rights, but the lack of respect shown to the victims of IRA terror has made those sentiments appear hollow.

It's Not about the Bike: My Journey Back to Life
Lance Armstrong, Author, Sally Jenkins, With Putnam $24.95 (288p) ISBN 978-0-399-14611-4
In 1996, young cycling phenom Armstrong discovered he had testicular cancer. In 1999, he won the Tour de France. Now he's a grateful husband, a new father--and a memoirist: with pluck, humility and verve, this volume covers his early life, his rise through the endurance sport world and his medical difficulties. Cancer ""was like being run off the road by a truck, and I've got the scars to prove it,"" Armstrong declares. Earlier scars, he explains, came from a stepfather he casts as unworthy; early rewards, from his hardworking mother and from the triathlons and national bike races Armstrong won as a Texas teen. ""The real racing action was over in Europe"": after covering that, Armstrong and Jenkins (Men Will Be Boys, with Pat Summit, etc.) ascend to the scarier challenges of diagnoses and surgeries. As he gets worse, then better, Armstrong describes the affections of his racing friends and of the professionals who cared for him. Armstrong is honest and delightful on his relationship to wife Kristin (Kik), and goes into surprising detail about the technology that let them have a child. The memoir concludes with Armstrong's French victory and the birth of their son. The book features a disarming and spotless prose style, one far above par for sports memoirs. Bicycle-racing fans will enjoy the troves of inside information and the accounts of competitions, but Armstrong has set his sights on a wider meaning and readership: ""When I was sick I saw more beauty and triumph and truth in a single day than I ever did in a bike race."" Agent, Esther Newberg. First serial to Vanity Fair; BOMC main selection; foreign rights sold in the U.K., Australia, France, Germany, Holland and Japan. (May 22)

Zeitumkehr ist die Betrachtung physikalischer Vorgänge unter der Annahme, die Zeit laufe in umgekehrter Richtung. Manche Vorgänge würden davon nicht beeinflusst werden, sind also zeitumkehrinvariant: sie könnten auch zeitlich rückwärts ablaufen. In der Darstellung durch Gleichungen ist die Zeitumkehr eine Transformation, bei der die Zeit t durch −t ersetzt wird. Fast alle grundlegenden physikalischen Gesetze sind symmetrisch gegenüber einer Umkehrung der Zeit; man spricht auch von -Symmetrie.

Zeitumkehrinvarianz ist nicht zu verwechseln mit Zeitinvarianz, einem Begriff der Systemtheorie.

Makroskopische Phänomene: Der zweite Hauptsatz der Thermodynamik
Unsere tägliche Erfahrung zeigt uns, dass es nicht umkehrbare Phänomene gibt: Wasser fließt stets bergab, Tassen zerspringen beim Hinunterfallen, und heißer Tee kühlt sich auf Zimmertemperatur ab. Bei vielen Phänomenen, etwa der relativen Bewegung von Körpern mit Reibung oder der viskosen Strömung von Flüssigkeiten, erfolgt Dissipation von Energie, also Umwandlung von kinetischer Energie in Wärme. Diese Umwandlung wird durch den zweiten Hauptsatz der Thermodynamik auf eine Richtung festgelegt (Zeitpfeil).

In einem Gedankenexperiment setzte sich James Clerk Maxwell mit dem zweiten Hauptsatz der Thermodynamik auseinander. Sein Maxwellscher Dämon ist ein mikroskopischer Torwächter zwischen zwei Hälften eines Raums, der die langsamen Moleküle nur in eine Richtung, die schnellen in die andere Richtung durchlässt. Auf diese Weise würde sich die eine Hälfte des Raums auf Kosten der anderen Hälfte erwärmen. Es scheint, dass die Entropie sinkt und sich der Zeitpfeil umkehrt. Eine genauere Untersuchung unter Einbeziehung des Dämons zeigt jedoch, dass die Gesamtentropie von Raum und Dämon zunimmt.

Der wissenschaftliche Konsens ist heute die Interpretation von Ludwig Boltzmann und Claude Shannon, die den Logarithmus des Phasenraumvolumens mit der Informationsentropie in Beziehung setzt. Der makroskopische Ausgangszustand in Maxwells Gedankenexperiment hat ein geringes Phasenraumvolumen, da die Position der Atome begrenzt ist. Wenn sich das System unter Einfluss von Dissipation weiterentwickelt, vergrößert sich das Phasenraumvolumen, und die Entropie steigt.

Ein anderer Standpunkt ist, dass wir "nur" deswegen einen stetigen Anstieg der Entropie beobachten, weil der Anfangszustand des Universums eine niedrige Entropie hatte; andere mögliche Anfangszustände des Universums könnten demnach zu sinkender Entropie führen. Nach dieser Ansicht ist die makroskopische Irreversibilität ein Problem der Kosmologie: Warum begann das Universum bei niedriger Entropie? Die Frage nach dem Anfangszustand des Universums ist eine offene Frage in der aktuellen Physik.

Mikroskopische Phänomene: Zeitumkehrinvarianz

Klassische Mechanik und Elektrodynamik

In der klassischen Mechanik z. B. kehrt sich die Geschwindigkeit  bei Zeitumkehr um, während die Beschleunigung  unverändert bleibt. Allgemein ist ein Vorgang offenbar zeitumkehrinvariant, wenn die Zeit t nur in gerader Potenz wie t2, t4 usw. vorkommt, so dass t durch −t ersetzt werden kann. Bei der Beschreibung von Reibung tritt t jedoch in erster Potenz auf.

Die Bewegung geladener Teilchen im Magnetfeld  wird bestimmt durch die Lorentz-Kraft  und scheint auf den ersten Blick nicht invariant unter Zeitumkehr zu sein. Bei genauerer Betrachtung zeigt sich jedoch, dass auch  bei Zeitumkehr seine Richtung ändert, da ein Magnetfeld durch einen elektrischen Strom  erzeugt wird, der seine Richtung bei Zeitumkehr ebenfalls umkehrt. Damit ist die Bewegung geladener Teilchen im elektromagnetischen Feld symmetrisch gegenüber Zeitumkehr, ebenso wie die Gravitationsgesetze.

Quantenphysik
Die quantenmechanische Kinematik kann durch die Metrik des speziell-relativistischen Minkowskiraums gekennzeichnet sein; diese Metrik ist zeitumkehrinvariant. Dagegen verletzen die Bahnen der Teilchen in diesem Raum unter Umständen, z. B. beim β-Zerfall, unter dem Einfluss der Wechselwirkungspotentiale die Zeitumkehrinvarianz. Wie in der klassischen Kinematik, die durch die newtonschen Gesetze der Bewegung beschrieben wird, sagt auch hier die Kinematik nichts über die Zeitumkehrinvarianz der Dynamik aus. Die Dynamik kann die Zeitinvarianz verletzen, obwohl man den kinematischen Größen dieses Verhalten nicht ansieht.

Eine grundlegende Verletzung der Zeitumkehrinvarianz wurde für die schwache Wechselwirkung (β-Zerfall u. a.) 1956 indirekt entdeckt. Es wurde eine leichte Verletzung der CP-Invarianz (=Symmetrie der physikalischen Gesetze, wenn die Vorzeichen von Ladung und Parität geändert werden) beobachtet. Daraus folgt auch die Verletzung der Zeitumkehrinvarianz, sofern man das CPT-Theorem (=Symmetrie der physikalischen Gesetze, wenn die Vorzeichen von Ladung, Parität und Zeit geändert werden) als gültig voraussetzt.

Nachdem die Verletzung der CP-Symmetrie in den B-Meson-Fabriken BaBar und Belle 2002 bestätigt worden war, gelang 2012 aus der Nachanalyse alter BaBar-Daten auch der direkte Nachweis der T-Verletzung.

Mathematische Darstellung
Beschreibt man den Zustand des Systems mit einem Zweierspinor, also durch zwei Wellenfunktionen
 und
,

dann hat der "zeitlich invertierte" Zweierspinor die Komponenten
 und
.

Es werden also
 die konjugiert komplexen Wellenfunktionen gebildet ,
 up- und down-Spinkomponenten vertauscht  und
 die "Phasenfaktoren" +1 bzw. −1 angebracht, was der üblichen "Winkelhalbierung" beim Übergang von Vektoren zu Spinoren entspricht, nämlich
 und

Q: PL-SQL: Execute trigger inside procedure I want to execute the trigger inside a procedure. Is there any way to execute PL/SQL (with apices) inside a procedure? I try with this code receiving the following error.

A: In your text, it looks like you are putting double quotes around all your literals. They need to be single quotes.
Since those single quotes are inside of a literal string, you need to put two single quotes in a row.
begin
execute immediate '
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER managed_service_start
AFTER STARTUP ON DATABASE
DECLARE
  pdb_role VARCHAR2(64);
  pdb_name VARCHAR2(64);
  host VARCHAR2(64);
BEGIN
  SELECT database_role INTO pdb_role FROM v$database;
  SELECT Upper(sys_context (''userenv'', ''con_name'')) INTO pdb_name FROM dual;
  SELECT host_name INTO host FROM v$instance;

  IF pdb_role = ''PRIMARY'' THEN
    DBMS_SERVICE.START_SERVICE(pdb_name || ''_RW'');
  ELSE
    -- IF host IN (''host_name1'',''host_name2'') THEN
    IF host LIKE ''%de%'' THEN
      DBMS_SERVICE.START_SERVICE(pdb_name || ''_RO'');
    END IF;
  END IF;
END;
/';
end;

Best regards,
Stew Ashton

A: Simply, Replace all the double quotes with single quotes and Wrap the DDL of the trigger with Quoted string (q'<delimeter><Your code><delimeter>') as follows:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE start_services AS
BEGIN
    FOR i IN (SELECT name FROM v$pdbs p WHERE p.name <> 'PDB$SEED')
    LOOP
        EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'ALTER SESSION SET CONTAINER= ' || i.name;
        EXECUTE IMMEDIATE  q'#
        CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER managed_service_start
            AFTER STARTUP ON DATABASE
        DECLARE
            pdb_role VARCHAR2(64);
            pdb_name VARCHAR2(64);
            host VARCHAR2(64);
        BEGIN
            SELECT database_role INTO pdb_role FROM v$database;
            SELECT Upper(sys_context ('userenv', 'con_name')) INTO pdb_name FROM dual;
            SELECT host_name INTO host FROM v$instance;

            IF pdb_role = 'PRIMARY' THEN
                DBMS_SERVICE.START_SERVICE(pdb_name || '_RW');

An exciting opportunity has come up within this young, dynamic charity to play a key role in helping Dallaglio RugbyWorks achieve its growth plans.
Dallaglio RugbyWorks is a long-term intensive skills development programme, based on the values of rugby, delivered to young people in alternative provision. The goal? To ensure they achieve sustained education, employment or training.
Dallaglio RugbyWorks was founded by Lawrence Dallaglio OBE, former England Rugby and Wasps Captain. Having experienced a troubled time in his youth after the death of his sister, Lawrence found rugby, which he credits for helping overcome a very turbulent time in his life. Lawrence recognised the power that rugby had in transforming his attitude, behaviour and aspirations and channelled that power into the development of RugbyWorks.
Dallaglio RugbyWorks works with teenagers from chaotic backgrounds with high levels of social risk factors such as troubled families, criminality and unemployment. They have much lower success rates in education and employment compared to their peers. RugbyWorks is designed to help these young people onto a positive pathway to achieve sustained education, employment or training with a particular focus on exposing them to various vocational opportunities.

Head Of Fundraising and Partnerships
New Schools Network (NSN) is an independent charity improving the life chances of young people by supporting the creation and long-term success of new schools. NSN finds talented people and organisations, supports them to establish new free schools across the country and, through the Academy Ambassadors Programme, places high calibre business people as non-executive directors on boards of multi-academy trusts. The organisation is particularly focussed on supporting new schools in areas of high economic and social disadvantage and low educational performance.
By offering advice, guidance and support, the charity has been instrumental in helping hundreds of groups of parents, teachers, charities and schools to establish new schools, and has placed over 1,400 non-executive directors on boards of multi-academy trusts. Over the last six years, NSN has expanded its activities to support the ~740 or so free schools that are open or have been approved to open. With over 500 free schools already open and more in the pipeline, this is an exciting time to join NSN to improve the quality of education in England by managing the work of NSN's Delivery Team.
Next challenge for NSN?
The Government has reitereated its commitment to free schools. There has never been a better opportunity to drive the creation of new schools especially in parts of the country where the quality of existing local schools is not good enough.
In 2017, NSN launched an income-generating service that provides intensive support to groups during pre-opening. We believe there is potential to extend the support we provide to ensure that, once open, these schools have the support and tools they need to succeed.
The Academy Ambassadors programme has delivered consistently beyond expectations on the DfE grant to recruit to boards and now needs to consider enhancing and developing its services, including looking at income-generating services and potential for philanthropic funding.
NSN has offices in London and Manchester and around 40 members of staff. The organisation currently has an annual turnover of ca. £2.5 million, which is comprised of a grant from the Department for Education and charitable donations.
Demand for NSN's services to the education sector is increasing and we need to grow our income in order to meet the need. So we're launching an ambitious programme to increase our fundraising income in the next five years.
To achieve this, we are keen to appoint a new Head of Fundraising and Partnerships to shape and deliver the future organisational funding for NSN . This is a genuine opportunity to influence and collaborate to take the organisation to the next level. We are hoping to meet with candidates who will have strengths in a range of fields - even if they do not have every element of experience highlighted below.
If you thrive on challenge, can handle high levels of accountability and have a proven track record of success, we can offer you the chance to engage in an interesting challenge, whilst contributing to changing the face of education across England.
You will lead from the front in cultivating and managing donor relationships and serve as an active ambassador for us in the charity fundraising world.
You will be a key member of NSN's Senior Management Team and will play an active role in cross-organisational strategy-setting, operational planning, resource allocation and governance.
In collaboration with the Director, you will set and lead the implementation of NSN's fundraising strategy, to drive the organisation forward, whilst working in partnership with the senior management team and the Trustees.
You will enjoy building new partnerships and relationships to further the charity's aims and seeing the financial returns for your efforts as reflected in the donations received.
You will devise and deliver a new 5-year strategic funding plan for NSN, that will include exploring and developing new sources of funding to ensure the charity's long-term financial sustainability and future proof the people capabilities within the organisation.
You will develop and lead a multi-faceted campaign to identify and/or build new donors for NSN. The result of your efforts will be a robust, reliable and diverse income streams from individual donors, grant making trusts and corporate supporters.
You will be accountable for managing the relationships with donors and ensuring an effective stewardship and retention plan is in place.
You will be a key contribution to the financial management of NSN, with accountability to ensure NSN's financial viability and longer term sustainable future.
NSN is recognised as a thought leader in education – as the Head of Fundraising and Partnerships you will play a vital role in enriching the debate and driving change in education, through creating and enhancing the strategic partnerships with key public, private and philanthropic partners.
You will be comfortable acting as a high-profile advocate for NSN, both publicly and privately, to build public awareness and influence policy-making around new schools policy.
You will focus on making decisions using data, whilst you work with the Director of Finance and Corporate Services to monitor and evaluate the success and quality of NSN's work, whilst shaping future strategic initiatives.
You will have prior evidence of having successfully cultivated new relationships and partnerships that have resulted in tangible outcomes, including a track record of securing multiple five and six figure donations.
You will bring good strategic and analytical skills, coupled with the gravitas and credibility to represent NSN and the sector with a wide range of stakeholders and audiences.
You will be a credible senior leader with a strong track record in developing and managing a complex donor pipeline, from cultivation, to bid presentation and ongoing relationship management.
In the past you will have set and implemented a fundraising strategy and vision (within a medium sized business).
You will be able to demonstrate that you are comfortable enagaging with, shaping and presenting organisational messages effectively to a variety of difference audiences.
You will have extensive experience of developing and implementing new commercial offerings; especially knowledge of sponsorship and and/or developing new funding streams for a not-for – profit organisation.
You will be politically astute with an excellent understanding of Government and Parliament and the ability to build cross-party alliances.
You will be able to demonstrate a belief in the importance of a good education for all children, you will believe in the free school policy and the potential for high quality multi-academy trust boards to improve education across England.

Nian Gao [Ti Kueh] aka Kuih Bakul is a must for Chinese New Year. I have tried several Nian Gao recipes and was lucky this time to come across a simple version of this kuih yet the result is awesome.
Thanks to Mykitchen101en for sharing this great recipe.
Really simple and long steaming hours. You only need 1-2 hours of steaming. The kuih has a nice colour, chewy and not too sweet.
The only difficulty is lining the cans with banana leaves and patience when preparing the caramel. But it is still worthwhile to try this recipe if you wish to make your own kuih bakul. Much, much economical to make your own if you need to buy a lot.
I have doubled the portion of original recipe and managed to make about 7 pieces of various sizes.
Do visit Mykitchen101en for the steps to prepare this kuih. It is very well presented with step by step pictures and video.
Place sugar in a heavy based pan, pour 4-5 tablespoons of hot water around the sides of the pan. Stir lightly [but do not over stir].
Do not cook caramel until it is too brown in colour. The caramel my be bitter if overcooked.
Off heat, then gradually pour remaining hot water into caramel.
Sieve batter to remove the lumps before pouring into prepared cans.
Pour batter into lined cans, cover with foil to prevent water condensation, Place in a steaming tray, cover tightly with lid. Steamed over high heat for 1 hour, then simmer over low heat for 30 minutes to an hour or until kuih is fully cooked.
"HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR 2018"
"STAY HEALTHY, SAFE AND BE HAPPY"
May i know whatwhat conta you use?
Hi Kimmy, wishing you and your family Gong Xi Fa Chai, be healthy and happy. All the best from me in Canada (normal working & school days here).
Hi Kimmy! Keong Hee Huat Chye! I love nien gao. So many years never eat because nobody give me hah..hah... I don't think I have the patience to make my own.
They look beautiful. How do we know when the nian gao is cook? As i intended to make, half the recipe, in one pan.
Hi Amy, you can use any kind of aluminium/stainless steel containers for this kuih. My grandma used to use canned food containers of various sizes to make ti kueh.
Thanks Lissa for your greetings. This year I am exceptionally busy with CNY preparations and lots of cooking for family and relatives at my mother in-law's place. My husband's siblings and family will return to our family home to visit my in-law for 2-3 days.
Hi Phong Hong, Keong Hee Huat Chye to you, too. As mentioned earlier, this year very busy to limited time for preparation due to my MIL's condition. Honestly, hardly have time to go shopping for CNY clothings. Anyway, 3 days of cooking is now over. Next is the Jade Emperor God's celebration.
Hi Kim, normally it would not go wrong if you follow a workable recipe. The dark caramel colour, smooth firm look of the nian gao, probably is the indication that the kuih is cooked. This recipe is a workable recipe.


Wet down one lens and your hands with water - a clean spray bottle / plant mister works great. Carefully remove the cover from the backing paper - handling the adhesive as little as possible - Use handling tabs when possible. Mist down the adhesive side and gently place on the lens. Handling the edges align the front corner of the piece - (right side of the photo).
Once the inner corner is aligned squeegee the inner point of the headlight as shown.
Now generally align the bottom and outside edges. The piece will be 'floating' on the beads of water on the lens. Be gentle the adhesive is pressure sensitive. In steps 4-5 you want to make sure that the piece is centered top to bottom.
Generally align the upper horizontal section.
Mist down the outside surface and firmly squeegee from the front corner where you started diagonally along the ridge line down to the back corner. In the photo from 5 o'clock to 11 o'clock - squeegee firmly as shown.
Continue up into the back corner - making sure the corner is aligned properly before setting.
Now squeegee down from the center diagonal area in steps 7 & 8 toward the outside of the kit. NOTE: This kit was installed with ambient air temps ~75 degrees F and strong afternoon sun. If it is cool out the use of a hair dryer on low will be necessary for steps 9+. Do not overheat the film, you just want to warm to about 90 degrees F. Squeegee in 1.0 inches increments from left to right to distribute the film. Now squeegee down from the center diagonal area in steps 7 & 8 toward the outside of the kit.
Continue firmly squeegeeing in short strokes as in step 9.
Continue to the outside as shown.
Continue to the very bottom of the kit until all film has laid down.
Repeat steps 9-12 on the top half of the kit. Squeegee in short strokes along the center line toward the hood as shown.
With a sharp razor knife carefully trim off the handling tabs. If you have any areas that are misaligned or overhanging you can either wrap the edge if it a flat surface or simply trim off the excess. Go over the edges with a suede detail cloth / paper towel wrapped squeegee to make sure the edge is fully set. Gentle heat from a hair dryer on low can help things along if it is cool out.
Now you are done, stand back and enjoy! With our HID Blue protective headlight covers you will be able to change to look of your vehicle while protecting your headlights from being sand-blasted to death. You can remove these at some point in the future if you are so inclined - though they can only be used once.

Obama ends HIV travel ban
by Lisa Keen, Keen News Service
Friday, Oct. 30—President Barack Obama announced today that his administration will end the long-standing policy at Health and Human Services ( HHS ) that banned immigration by people with HIV. He announced the policy change during a ceremony at the White House, where he signed a bill to reauthorize the Ryan White program to help people with HIV and low incomes.
President George W. Bush signed legislation last year that ended a 1993 statutory ban specifically against people with HIV. That law was called the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief ( PEPFAR ) . But it did not end the policy of the Health and Human Services Department that excluded people with a "communicable disease of public health significance." That policy also excluded people with HIV. And many HIV- and civil-rights organizations said the law Bush signed did not really end the discrimination against people with HIV.
"Practically speaking, with the ban once again under the purview of HHS, nothing has changed for people living with HIV traveling through or immigrating to the United States," stated a press release from the Community HIV/AIDS Mobilization Project ( CHAMP ) .
In his remarks at a White House ceremony, Obama noted that he and First Lady Michelle Obama had taken HIV tests during a visit to Kenya to help combat the stigma attached to the disease. He said his administration would take "another step toward ending that stigma." He said HHS would publish a final rule Nov. 2 that will eliminate the ban effective in 2010.
"This is a battle that is far from over," said Obama, noting that 1.1 million people in the U.S. are living with HIV and 56,000 are newly infected each year. He also noted that, although gay men comprise "two to three percent of the population," they account for "half of all cases."
He credited Presidents Clinton and Bush for beginning the process of eliminating discrimination against people with HIV.
"We are finishing the job," he said.
Human Rights Campaign President Joe Solmonese issued a statement thanking Obama for taking action.
"Today's actions signal both to Americans and to the world that the United States is a nation that will care for those most in need at home and will no longer close the door to HIV-positive people abroad," said Solmonese. "Today, President Obama has extended one of our nation's proudest responses to the HIV/AIDS epidemic and finally erased on our of most shameful."
Obama also thanked HIV-community organizations for its "consensus statement" in working to renew reauthorization of the Ryan White Comprehensive AIDS Resource Emergency ( CARE ) Act. Congress last week voted to extend the program for another four years. The program provides medical care and medication to more than half a million people with low incomes to have HIV infection. Congress must now wrestle with funding for the measure.
The HIV immigration ban has been in place since 1987, when the HHS, under President Ronald Reagan, adopted a policy of barring entry to the U.S. of anyone with AIDS or who tested positive for HIV infection. The ban was later made into law through legislation introduced by Senator Jesse Helms ( R-NC ) and the policy was enacted in December 1987.
The ban has been enormously controversial, putting the United States in the company of only a dozen countries worldwide that banned people with HIV. In 1990, when San Francisco hosted the International Conference on AIDS, many participants boycotted the conference and protested outside the conference. A subsequent conference scheduled for Boston was quickly re-located to Amsterdam as a result.
Through the years, there was some effort to soften and revise the ban. President George H.W. Bush instituted a policy of allowing some people with HIV to obtain a 10-day waiver if they were coming into the country to attend a scientific forum. Although President Bill Clinton signed the bill in 1993 that codified the HIV ban, he did grant a waiver of the ban in 1994 for the Gay Games in New York and Atlanta in 1996. The Bush administration granted a waiver for the 2006 Gay Games in Chicago.

Replace five mobs in Minecraft PE 1.0.8 with scary and odd Mythical Creatures, using this addon. All mobs will be hostile and very dangerous, the most interesting among them, in my opinion is Werewolf, because of his ability to look like wolf during day and transform into monster at night. Changed mobs won't affect gameplay too much, so don't be afraid. Most of them will attack each other, due to their evil nature.
Chimera is a new mob that presents a bigger threat then it may seems at first, it has the ability to poison their victim using the sting. The creature is very hostile and reminds the mix of a cat and a scorpion.
Reason: Added a new mob - Chimera.

How Can We Help the Homily?
Benedictine College May 11, 2012
This is part two of a series on the importance of the homily. If you haven't read part one, you can do so here.
The image of Aaron and Hur supporting Moses provides a vivid analogy for how we might support our priest in his calling to serve and protect the people of God through preaching. Just as Aaron and Hur lifted up Moses' arms, we can provide support for our priest as he attempts to deliver dynamic, Scripturally-sound, Christ-exalting homilies.
For the children of Israel, Moses was the leader. He was the man of God who had authority and who was called by God to lead his people out of slavery to Egypt. He was called to serve and protect the people of God.
In Exodus 17, Israel was attacked by the Amalekites and Moses directed Joshua, his second in command, to gather an army of men who would fight against Amalek. During the battle, Moses ascended to the top of a hill to observe the battle and pray for the Israelite army. So long as Moses hands were lifted up in prayer, the battle went well. But when he lowered his hands, the enemy prevailed.
After awhile, Moses grew weary; his arms grew tired and he was unable to lift them up himself. He needed someone to assist him. So, Aaron and Hur, who had joined him on the hill, helped him lift up his arms. They helped the servant of God ensure victory for the people of God.
How can we support the priest as he lifts up his congregation? Here are four specific ways:
1. Pray for homiletics. Pray for the revitalization of Catholic preaching in general and the homilies of the local parish priest in particular. Pray that God raises up a new generation of priests who are not only faithful celebrants of Mass and confessors, but dynamic communicators who catechize, evangelize, and mobilize the faithful with creative and compelling homilies. Pray, too, that God raises up deacons and faithful laymen like Frank Sheed to carry on powerful preaching apostolates outside the context of the liturgy. Pray through relevant passages of Scripture, like Romans 10:14-15 and 2 Timothy 4:1-8. Ask for the intercession of St. John Chrysostom, the patron saint of preachers or St. Dominic, the founder of the Order of Preachers.
2. Pray for the congregation. Any one who has ever done public speaking or public performance can tell you how important a good audience is. Receptive listeners who are eager to learn and attentive draw good homilies out of speakers. Unreceptive, inattentive audiences make it tough to speak. The New Testament agrees. This Sunday's first reading is from the Acts of the Apostles 10:44. It says: "While Peter was still speaking these things, the Holy Spirit fell upon all who were listening to the word." The Holy Spirit didn't make Peter wonderful; he made his audience receptive. Pray that this might be so in your own congregation.
3. Praise every good thing. "Strengthen the things that remain," is great consel that Jesus gives to Church in Sardis (Revelation 3:2). Priests are blessed with many critics of what they do — or, too often, of every move they make. Don't join those critics. Instead, catch your priest doing good. Did he say something imaginative? Compliment him for that specific thing. Did he say something bold? Congratulate him for his courage. If you have read a good book, pass it on to him, and promise not to quiz him on it later: It is his to do as he likes.
4. Put yourself at his disposal—to help him free up time in his schedule to devote to the study of Sacred Scripture and the preparation of his homilies. Our priests have an overwhelming number of responsibilities, and many of those responsibilities—such as celebrating Mass and hearing confessions—only they can perform. But there are other responsibilities—many of them clerical, administrative, or even of the "gopher" type—that we can take off his shoulders. If you have a parish council that divvies up duties, join it, and do your part. If you don't, talk to others in your parish and determine what responsibilities can be performed by volunteers. Form a "Committee to Liberate Our Priest from Less Important Responsibilities." As the Twelve Apostles stated in Acts 6:2: "it would not be right for us to neglect the ministry of the Word of God in order to wait on tables." Demonstrate by your actions that you really do want him to have more time to devote to Scripture study and the homily. The additional time spent in lectio divina will be good for his soul; its effect on his ministry and preaching will be good for yours.
We may not be Moses, but we can be Aaron and Hur. We may never deliver the homilies, but we can help our priests to deliver them better. Let's support the servants of Jesus Christ, lifting up their arms to help them ensure victory for the people of God.

The Illinois state board of education voted unanimously on May 18 to strip its testing contractor of several administrative duties, after hearing complaints from districts across the state about late-arriving and misprinted test booklets.
Harcourt Assessment, based in San Antonio, however, will still design the Illinois Standards Achievement Test, or ISAT.
State schools Superintendent Randy J. Dunn, who recently announced he will be stepping down from his post later this year, had recommended that another company take over duties such as printing and distributing test booklets, board spokeswoman Meta Minton said. The board will solicit proposals from other companies for those and other duties, she said.
In a statement, Rick Blake, a vice president at Harcourt, said the company was pleased to continue its scaled-back duties.

The essential sites of Hérault
If you are on vacation for a short or long stay in Hérault, we have prepared a list of must-see sites for you. The Hérault is rich in its geographical location... and in its many curiosities, not to be missed.
1) The Gorges de l'Hérault
A good day in perspective!
You can swim or take a canoe trip from Pont du Diable between Aniane and Saint-Jean de Fos. The bridge dates from the 11th century. It is classified as World Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO under the Ways of Saint-Jacques-de-Compostelle in France.
2) Cirque de Navacelles
© Henri MOREAU — CC BY-SA 4.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=10856515
You will discover the heritages of agro-pastoralism *, its landscapes, the exceptional biodiversity of the site (fauna / flora), the megaliths (dolmens, cromlechs, menhirs...)
© Cardabelle — Travail personnel, CC BY-SA 3.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=25916767
To get to the territory of the Grand Site du Cirque de Navacelles, we offer several discovery routes, between the Hérault gorges, the Arre gorges and the Vis gorges. The vast expanses of the 3 Southern Causses of Larzac, Blandas and Campestre-et-le-Luc.
* Agro-pastoralism refers to livestock, landscape or socio-economic situations in which agriculture is intimately associated with pastoralism.
3) The Devil's Bridge
© Wikinicoj — Travail personnel, CC BY-SA 3.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=28238247
18 meters high, the Pont du Diable is an impressive structure built between 1028 and 1031. Located at the entrance to the Hérault gorges, it measures 50 m.
In summer, it is possible to swim on a supervised beach. It makes a great alternative to crowded beaches in the middle of summer.
4) The village of Saint-Guilhem-le-Désert
Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Saint-Guilhem-le-Désert is a village developed all around the Abbey of Gellone. An essential site to visit during your holidays in Hérault, this medieval city is an open-air museum.
5) Pic Saint-Loup
Ideal site for hikers.
© David PARENTEAU — Travail personnel, CC BY-SA 4.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=73255678
Leave your car aside, and walk for about 1 hour to reach the summit at 658 meters altitude, Pic Saint-Loup. The reward is on arrival with a breathtaking view of the Cévennes, the Mediterranean Sea but also the Canigou and Mont Ventoux.
6) Sète
© Christian Ferrer
A popular city for taking a break for a weekend, Sète is a very charming city due to its proximity to the sea. Fishing is a frequent habit, the streets of the city invite you to stroll.
7) La Grande-Motte and its architecture
La Grande-Motte is a town in the Hérault well known for its unusual architecture. In addition, in 2010, the resort obtained the "20th Century Heritage" label.
If you are on holiday in the area, you can find all of our holiday homes in the Hérault.

Q: AngularJS and PHP - make contents of POST array available in the application The thing works this way:
There is a mobile application, written in C# (probably, not sure, not relevant).
It sends a POST request with some data like user's nickname, e-mail address etc. to a site, let's say mysite.com/index.php. In this index.php, I can access the data (it is available in the $_POST array) for example this way:
<?php echo $_POST["nickname"];?>

My task is to rebuild the service at mysite.com, add some extra features to it etc. I have decided to use Angular as the front-end framework.
Now, what I am trying to do is to make the data sent in the request available in an AngularJS app - in fact I am able to do so, but I am not convinced that this is the way it should be done (the index.php of my Angular app looks like that):
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en" ng-app="myApp">
  <head>
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/normalize.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/style.css">
    <script src="lib/angular.min.js"></script>
    <script src="lib/angular-resource.min.js"></script>
    <script src="js/app.js"></script>
    <script src="js/controllers.js"></script>
    <script src="js/services.js"></script>
    <script src="js/filters.js"></script>
    <script>
      window.data = <?php echo json_encode($_POST); ?>;  <<-- The "hack" is here
    </script>
  </head>

  <body>
    <section ng-view></section>
  </body>
</html>

And the controller that makes this data available:
myAppControllers.controller('SomeController', ['$scope', '$rootScope', '$window',
  function($scope, $rootScope, $window) {
    $rootScope.data = $window.data;
}]);

Question: is there any other (better, cleaner) way of doing so?

A: I highly recommend to take a look in to the AngularPHP sample project, it demonstrates a simple way to build a server-side API for angular in PHP

I had a lot of fun writing this #SpringFlingKidLit contest entry, which challenges writers to create a 150-word (or less) spring-themed work inspired by a gif.
Thank you to Ciara O'Neal and Kaitlyn Leann Sanchez for creating this contest - a perfect way to welcome in spring :)
(gif by Claudia Cameron)
"Song of Spring" (149 words)
"Grandma, what's your favorite song?"
"My favorite song, precious one, is the Song of Spring."
"The Song of Spring?"
"Why yes, my love. It's the song of the breeze rustling newly grown leaves.
It's the song of fish jumping in a bubbling stream.
It's the song of rain sprinkling flowers in the garden.
It's the song of birds singing on treetops at dawn.
It's the song of fireflies buzzing at dusk.
It's the song of you, my dear child."
"Of me?"
"Why yes, of course.
It's the song of you blowing seeds off a dandelion.
It's the song of you rolling down soft-grass hills.
It's the song of you squeezing fresh lemons for lemonade.
It's the song of you giggling while we read side by side.
It's the song of our perfect spring day together."
"Yes, my darling?"
"That's my favorite song too. Can we play it again?"

Q: boxplot() being tripped up by set_yticks() format I am trying to make two boxplots on one figure, using plt.subplots(). I have successfully done this multiple times, making the following the result:

I had messed around with the scale and because I am plotting multiple sets of data that range from 0.0001 to 100, depending on the dataframes being looped through the graphing process, I need to have a scale that is either in scientific format for easy readability or in floats with a precision of about two digits past the decimal. To solve this, I produced the following code:
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

mindex=pd.date_range('07/01/2012', periods=96, freq='H')
data00=np.random.rand(96)*20
data01=np.random.rand(96)*0.01
data10=np.random.rand(96)*20
data11=np.random.rand(96)*0.01
df00=pd.DataFrame({'Observed': data00},index=mindex)
df01=pd.DataFrame({'Observed': data01},index=mindex)
df10=pd.DataFrame({'WRF': data10},index=mindex)
df11=pd.DataFrame({'WRF': data11},index=mindex)
df0list=[df00,df01]
df1list=[df10,df11]
for k in xrange(len(df0list)):
    #Graphing
    df0list[k]['Hour']=pd.Series(df0list[k].index.hour,index=df0list[k].index)
    df1list[k]['Hour']=pd.Series(df1list[k].index.hour,index=df1list[k].index)
    if df0list[k]['Observed'].max() >= df1list[k]['WRF'].max():
        ymax=df0list[k]['Observed'].max()
    else:
        ymax=df1list[k]['WRF'].max()
    if df0list[k]['Observed'].min() <= df1list[k]['WRF'].min():
        ymin=df0list[k]['Observed'].min()
    else:
        ymin=df1list[k]['WRF'].min()
    yscale=np.arange(ymin-ymin*0.1,ymax+ymax*0.005,((ymax+ymax*0.005)-(ymin-ymin*0.1))/10.)
    if ymin > 0.01:
        ybounds=['{:.2f}'.format(i) for i in yscale]
    else:
        ybounds=['{:.2e}'.format(i) for i in yscale]
    fig,axes=plt.subplots(ncols=1,nrows=2, figsize=(28,20))
    df0list[k].boxplot(ax=axes[0],by='Hour', whis= [10, 90], sym='')
    axes[0].set_yticks(ybounds)
    df1list[k].boxplot(ax=axes[1],by='Hour', whis= [.10, .90], sym='')
    axes[1].set_yticks(ybounds)
    plt.show()

This produced graphs that only display the top graph with bounds that are not properly fitting. I am not sure how matplotlib handles displaying formats and thought that by making the set_yticks() function take in a pre-formatted numpy array it would display in whatever that array is formatted. However, now the graph will not even save giving me TypeError: cannot perform reduce with flexible type. Do I need to format this differently?

Christopher Guy Harrison (3 September 1960 – 19 August 2020) was a British luxury furniture designer. He was the founder and head designer of the international furnishings brand. Originally known for a wide range of decorative mirrors, the Christopher Guy brand grew into a collection of upholstery, chairs, dining tables, sofas, headboards, and office furniture. In 2017, Christopher Guy partnered with rug manufacturer Nourison to create a new line of luxury area rugs.  Christopher's signature design includes the patented Chris-X (pronounced kris-krôs) leg design.

Biography
Christopher Guy Harrison was born in Britain and raised in Spain and France. He drew on his international background to fuse design influences from around the world. In 1993, Christopher formed Harrison & Gil. The company then expanded by offering a complete lifestyle and luxury furniture collection in 2005. It re-launched under the brand name Christopher Guy. In 1999, Christopher designed and built a one million square foot workshop complex in Java to accommodate the 1,400 carvers, woodcarvers and specialist finishers that craft his designs. Christopher resided in Singapore where he has his headquarters and travelled around the world particularly to Java and Los Angeles.

Harrison died on 19 August 2020 from lung cancer, at the age of 59.

USA Flagship Design Lounge
In October 2009, Guy opened his  USA Flagship Design Lounge in Beverly Hills. The lounge, complete with plasma TV's mounted on the walls for interactive viewing, showcases his newest collection of the year.

Design philosophy
Guy's furniture designs reflect a contemporary mood with Timeless values. His Chris-X leg design is patented across the USA, China and Europe. This design is seen throughout his collections and was inspired by the corseted waistline of Scarlett O'Hara in Gone with the Wind and the crossed legs of a ballerina. "My aim was to design a chair that was simple, sophisticated and flexible enough to work with a variety of style categories," said Guy.

Awards
The British Interior Design Association awarded Guy the Outstanding Design award in 2004. The World Market Center Las Vegas and Las Vegas Design Center recognize Guy as the 2011 Design Icon on 27 January 2011. The Design Icon award celebrates modern-day design legends and gives them a platform to share their stories and inspire others.

iPhone iOS9 Hack and Chinese Malware
September 23, 2015 By E.J. Smith - Your Survival Guy
Want to earn a cool million? Are you familiar with a security breach at Apple's app store? I was clued in to these stories from our in-house systems and network manager. A security firm is offering up the million dollar bounty, the largest to date and capped at $3 million, for the successful hack. "Rather than report vulnerabilities in software to the companies that make it to help fix hackable bugs, Vupen develops hacking techniques based on those bugs and typically sells them to multiple government customers," reports Wired. In a separate report from Wired, there are concerns related to how bugged Chinese apps made their way onto Apple's app store.
The $1 million bounty:
AS LONG AS hackers have sold their secret hacking techniques known as zero-day exploits to government spies, they've generally kept that trade in the shadows. Today it's come into the spotlight with the biggest bounty ever publicly offered for a single such exploit: $1 million for a technique that can break into an iPhone or iPad running Apple's freshly released iOS 9.
On Monday, a new security industry firm known as Zerodium announced that it will pay that seven-figure sum to anyone who gives the company a hacking technique that can take over an iOS device remotely, via a web page the victim visits, a vulnerable app on the victim's device, or by text message. The company says it's willing to pay the bounty multiple times, though it may cap the payouts at $3 million.
"Due to the increasing number of security improvements and the effectiveness of exploit mitigations in place, Apple's iOS is currently the most secure mobile OS," reads the
statement on Zerodium's website announcing the bounty. "But don't be fooled, secure does not mean unbreakable, it just means that iOS has currently the highest cost and complexity of vulnerability exploitation and here's where the Million Dollar iOS 9 Bug Bounty comes into play."
Bugged Chinese Apps get into Apple's App store:
THE APPLE ECOSYSTEM is well known for very rarely letting any dodgy apps enter it because of the company's stringent security checks.
But recently, nearly two dozen malicious pieces of software managed to get hosted on the App Store, and subsequently downloaded by Chinese users. This is because attackers found an unorthodox route to exploit: they targeted some versions of the software used by developers to makes apps for iOS and OS X in the first place.
The malware was first highlighted by Chinese developers on Weibo, and was then analyzed by researchers from Alibaba. Security company Palo Alto Networks then verified the results.
The hack all hinges around Xcode, a tool used to create iOS and OS X apps. Typically, Xcode is downloaded directly from Apple for free. However, it is possible to get Xcode from other sources too, such as developer forums. Some versions of Xcode found on Baidu Yunpan, a Chinese file-sharing service, come packaged with extra lines of code. The Alibaba researchers have dubbed these malicious variants "XcodeGhost."
