In Search of a Shared Vision
Graphic from The Journal.ie
Looking at the result of the recent general election in Ireland it's impossible not to conclude there is no shared vision among the electorate of the sort of country they want.
No single party managed to secure the support of as many as 1 in 3 of the votes cast. There is a plethora of small parties, loose alliances and independents. It is a state of affairs that bears comparison to the situation exactly 100 years ago.
The rebels who proclaimed a new republic from the steps of the GPO at Easter 1916 did not have the support of the majority of the ordinary citizens they claimed to represent. That only came after the citizenry saw, and were horrified by, the way the rebel leaders and their supporters were treated by the authorities.
Looking back, such treatment seems inevitable. If your country is at war, if hundreds of thousands of your country's young men, including tens of thousands of young Irish men, are risking their lives fighting an avowed enemy, if that enemy is a passionate opponent of the ideals you espouse, you would be a fool to seek the help of that enemy. And yet, that is precisely what this group of intelligent, highly educated, professional men, did.

The street fighting that followed, and the shelling of Dublin, were a natural response that any government would take in such circumstances. So, too, was the branding of the leaders as traitors and the infliction of the only punishment appropriate for traitors in time of war.
Those of the followers who surrendered were imprisoned in Wales, treated as prisoners of war. It was there they were able to regroup and devise the strategy for armed struggle that occupied them from their release until the eventual signing of the Treaty in 1922. Even then, there was no shared vision. Those who accepted the Treaty as the best option available were bitterly opposed by those who still sought independence for the whole of Ireland rather than the 26 counties of the Republic. The civil war that ensued pitted brother against brother and father against son. It is that history that makes it unlikely the two largest parties will ever co-operate in a grand coalition for they were formed from those disparate traditions
Looking further afield, it seems, from the outside, that the electorate in the United States is similarly unable to agree on a vision for the future of their country. The 'primary' roadshows are highlighting, not just the difference between the Democrats and Republicans, but significant divisions within each of those parties. In Britain, too, similar differences of vision are being exposed by the debate over whether the UK should remain a part of the European Union.
Anne Applebaum, in a Washington Post article on 4th March, says "we are two or three bad elections away from the end of NATO, the end of the European Union and maybe the end of the liberal world order as we know it." (Is this the end of the West as we know it? Washington Post Mar 4th 2016).
She cites the rise of Marine Le Pen in France, and Hungarian prime minister, Orban's talk of "leaving the West in favor of a strategic alliance with Istanbul or Moscow." (op.cit), alongside Trump's rhetoric and the strength of support in the UK for Brexit, as examples of the breakdown of the old order that has served us well since the end of World War Two.
The rise of large corporations
To me they are all symptoms of the erosion of the sense of a shared vision that prevailed in my youth. In part this has been driven by the rise of the big corporations whose vision of globalisation often seems contrary to the aspirations of ordinary citizens. The banking crisis of 2008/9 highlighted the vast gulf between rich and poor and left the latter picking up the bill for bailing out the wealthy victims of their own greedy risk taking.
Politics today is characterised by divisive rhetoric from both left and right as the ordinary citizen is left wondering which scapegoat to blame for his or her lack of economic progress. Immigrants? Islamists? Bankers? Tax averse corporations? Take your pick.
Erecting a barbed wire barrier on the Hungarian/Slovenian border. From France24.com
Proponents of Brexit suggest the EU's policy of free movement of labour prevents the UK from controlling who enters the country. Trump says much the same about Mexicans crossing the USA's southern border. Barriers have already been erected along the southern border of the EU to restrict the flow of refugees from conflicts in the Middle East. The left blames bankers, everyone fears Islamic terrorism.
Much of the rhetoric on all sides is reminiscent of Germany in the 1930s. Hitler wanted to round up and deport Jews (and later adopted an even more drastic 'final solution'). Trump promises to round up and deport Muslims. The potential outcome of such policies is too frightening to contemplate.
Back, finally, to the outcome of the Irish election. The possibility of the two largest parties talking to each other still seems some way off today (Mar 5th). Those of us old enough to remember all of the second half of the 20th century must hope they are able to find sufficient common cause to present a vision of the future that most can share. Is it too much to hope that similar unifying forces win the arguments elsewhere?

Q: cacerts issue in JAVA and OPEN JDK 6 how can i build cacerts automatically in java , instead of using the Jre/lib/security/cacerts because openJDK didn't contain the cacerts file.

A: You can create your own keystore using the keytool. Then you must import all CAs (Certificate Authorities) you need and either place the keystore in <JRE>/lib/security or explicitly set it using a system property. See this post for details.
Of course, you could reuse an existing keystore available in other JDKs.

Alex Winter,Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure, 1988. Producer Scott Kroopf ran into an Italian brick wall when trying to interest iconic producer Dino De Laurentiis in the project. "He didn't understand what dudes were until someone said: guys who had big dicks. Then he said 'Oh, great, now I get it.'" Herek whittled down 200-300 actors to 24 for the time-travellers meeting Beethoven, Billy The Kid, Freud, Lincoln, Napoleon, Socrates. "Everyone was auditioning for both roles," Reeves told Hollywood Reporter 30 years later. At one time it looked as if the guys would be Brendan Fraser and Pauly Shore (future Encino Manco-stars in 1991). Except thescript's skinny teenagers became more cool when Winter, 21, and Reeves, 22, blew away all other hopefuls – when testing for each other's role. Also up for Bill S. Preston, Esq,were Sean Penn and River Phoenix."We were playing these clowns, fools," said Reeves, "but in an epic sense that they're confronting tragedy with ebullience. They never say die… It's still funny."
Chris O'Donnell, Scent of a Woman, 1991. Most of the of the 1992 School Ties cast - indeed new, all the young turks - were in the pot for Charlie, the prep schooler babysitting a blind Al Pacino (finally winning his Oscar). Fraser, Ben Affleck, Randall Batinkoff, Matt Damon, Leonardo DiCaprio, Stephen Dorff, Cole Hauser, Anthony Rapp, Sam Rockwell and Christopher Serrone.
Dermot Mulroney, My Best Friend's Wedding, 1997. "They were casting it at the same time as George of the Jungle ..." Fraser went on the vines.
Matthew Broderick, Inspector Gadget, 1999. After being the idiotic George of the Jungle, 1997, Fraser was an obvious notion - until Broderick popped up on the radar.
James Franco, James Dean, TV, 2001. In the Jimmy mix with Johnny Depp, Edward Furlong, Gary Oldman and Brad Pitt. Other actors played… Pier Angeli, Bette Davis, Judy Garland, Julie Harris, Hedda Hopper, Rock Hudson, Louis Jourdan, Elia Kazan, Raymond Massey, Marilyn Monroe, Geraldine Page, Nicholas Ray, George Stevens, Lee Strasberg - and director Mark Rydell was Jack Warner Oh, you hadda be there!
Matthew McConaughey, The Wedding Planner, 2001. All change! Due to being stuck in their Bedazzled and Buffy schedules, Fraser and Sarah Michelle Gellar churned into McConaughey and Jennifer Lopez - at $5m for him and $9m for her.
Steve Coogan, Around The World In 80 Days, 2001. Possibly the worst cast re-make in Hollywood history.
Josh Hartnett, Wicker Park, 2003. All set to be Matt Damon when Joel Schumacher was due to direct the Hollywood re-tread of the French L 'apartment, 1995.
Ioan Gruffud, Fantastic Four, 2004. George Clooney, Jeff Goldblum, Hugh Jackman, Dennis Quaid, Patrick Wilson were in the loop. And for some inexplicable reason, the decidedly non-fantastic Fraser was also considered for Dr Reed Richards (aka Mr. Fantastic). He was beaten to by an 007 contender. And, inexplicably, Fraser became one, too...
Daniel Craig, Casino Royale, 2006.
Brandon Routh, Superman Returns, 2006.
Dwayne Johnson, Journey 2: The Mysterious Island, 2010. Fraser left when the original director Eric Brevig quit the 3D sequel to Journey To The Center Of The Earth - which made a global $242m.
Christian Slater, Freaky Deaky, 2011. All four original stars - Fraser, Matt Dillon, William H Macy, Craig Robinson - suddenly quit and were replaced in the film of Elmore Leonard's favourite novel by Slater, Billy Burke, Crispin Glover, Michael Ja White.
Daniel Craig, Cowboys and Aliens, 2011. The great title (better than the movie) had been stuck in Development Hell since 1997 which explains why such superstars (!) as Fraser, Chuck Norris and Mr T (!) had been invited to saddle up as the outlaw hero Jake Lonergan. So were Jackie Chan, Robert Downey Jr, Bill Paxton, Kurt Russell and Bruce Willis. And Roger Rabbit, why not?
James D'Arcy, Those Who Kill, TV, 2012. Fraser pulled out of his TV series debut…Well, Chloe Sevigny was the main star as the cop opposite D'Arcy's profiler.
Sean Bean, Legends, TV, 2012. Again, he avoided a series debut - not the right fit, according to Fox TV. The hero Martin Odum is a deep-cover operative, physically transforming himself for each case. Perfect, therefore, for the action star of Games of Thrones, Lords of the Rings and, once, nearly James Bond.
Josh Hartnett, The Lovers (UK: Time Traveller), Australia-Belgium-India, 2013. The nadir of UK director Roland Joffé's career was put down by Slant Magazine's Clayton Dillard as "a shamelessly derivative and preposterous would-be blockbuster that goofily fashions itself as a sweeping romance, time-travel sci-fi tale, and gallant period piece all at once." Could have been worse. Joffé first wanted Fraser as the dual-rôle hero. The 1778 one was actually called… James Stewart!
Tom Cruise, The Mummy, 2016. "Welcome to a new world of gods and monsters…" After three new Mummies with Brendan as Daddy (!), a third sequel was announced in 2007 - The Mummy 4 - Rise of the Aztecs – became the new hero, Nick Morton (ex-Tyler Colt) in one of his rare flops. So much so that Universal promptly scrapped its Dark Universe plans for Javier Bardem as Frankenstein's monster, Russell Crowe as Dr Jekyll, on ice.

Blake Cooper Stats & Scouting Report - Baseball America
Blake Cooper
RHP | CubsCHC
Name: Matthew Blake Cooper
Born: Mar 30, 1988 in Neeses, SC
High School: Edisto HS, Cordova, S.C.
College: South Carolina
Ht.: 5'11" / Wt.: 190 lbs
Drafted in the 12th round (361st overall) by the Arizona Diamondbacks in 2010
Righthander Blake Cooper wasn't quite as sharp down the stretch as he had been early. Still, he was 10-1, 2.94 entering regional play and led the Southeastern Conference in innings (104) while ranking fifth in ERA. Cooper isn't physical at 5-foot-10, 180 pounds, and some question whether he could maintain his velocity over a full pro season. He throws his sinker in the upper-80s and touches 90-91 mph with armside run. He has a great feel for pitching, spotting his sinker, solid curve, slider and changeup.


Why is the Council going ahead with the park and ride scheme?
Whitby and the businesses are quiet and the parking on West Cliff etc is free.
How will charging people improve things?
And where will people park who work in Whitby? Especially those whose shifts end after park and ride has finished?
Visitors need encouraging not charging!

Halloween Havoc 1989
Welcome to the newly christened Haunted House Show podcast. For the next 12 weeks we will take a look at the entire NWA/WCW Halloween Havoc series. Every year. Every match.
Play Episode Download (105 MB)
It's time for season 2!
Welcome to the newly christened Haunted House Show podcast. For the next 12 weeks we will take a look at the entire NWA/WCW Halloween Havoc series. Every year. Every match. Your trios tag team champions will carry over the top 5 matches and top 5 shows rankings just like we did for In Your House.
NWA/WCW was a different beast than the WWF product at the time. More emphasis on wrestling instead of sports entertainment. This inaugural event features many familiar faces in more serious personas.
Tonight's show took place October 28, 1989 at the Civic Center for 7300 fans in one of the greatest cities for wrestling: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Jim Ross and Bob Caudle call the action. Gordon Solie and Chris Cruise do all of the backstage interviews. Everything about this show is different than what the WWF In Your House series showed. There is not just one type of wrestling out there, and jumping from 1990's Attitude era to this is a culture shock.
To ease listeners into this change, your hosts promise to stay the same. Matty Treats talks about his terrible work week. We talk about the strangest things we've ever done on a lunch break. Goodwill finds. Filthy retail stories. Heel announcers. Comparing WWF work to NWA work. A surprising amount of body discussion. All of the match break downs and opinions you've come to love. Which match will be the Hot Tag of the Week?! Plus the story of "Yum".
Tonight's matches include:
Tom Zenk vs. Mike Rotunda.
The Samoan SWAT Team (Fatu, Samu, and the Samoan Savage) (with Oliver Humperdink) vs. The Midnight Express and Steve Williams (with Jim Cornette).
Tommy Rich vs. The Cuban Assassin.
The Fabulous Freebirds (NWA tag team champions) vs. The Dynamic Dudes (with Jim Cornette).
Doom (with Woman) vs. The Steiner Brothers.
Lex Luger (NWA United States champion) vs. Brian Pillman.
The Road Warriors (with Paul Ellering) vs The Skyscrapers (with Teddy Long).
Ric Flair and Sting (with Ole Anderson) vs. Terry Funk and the Great Muta (with Gary Hart) in a Thunderdome match with special referee Bruno Sammartino.
There's nothing scary about looking your best. Nor is there anything scary about supporting your favorite wrestling podcast. You can show your love for The House Show with a variety of clothing and other products now available at our store.

All but two of the European Union's 27 members have agreed to a new treaty on tighter fiscal rules.
The summit in Brussels also agreed to bring in a 500-billion-euro European Stability Mechanism to back heavily indebted countries a year earlier than planned.
But differences over austerity limits and Greece's unfinished debt-restructuring talks wrecked hopes for a more upbeat message that Europe's getting to grips with its debt crisis.

Applying an ethnographic lens to sexual and reproductive health inequalities and challenges in Indonesia
This presentation describes the range of ethnographic approaches and iterative layered analysis applied in a study that explored the reproductive health experiences and decisions of predominantly middle-class women in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. It describes ethnographic findings developing a three-pronged conceptual framework (the WRED Framework) that takes into consideration the concepts of reproductive agency, reproductive modernity and reproductive politics to understand women's reproductive experiences and decisions. As an analytical tool that considers reproductive health across multiple levels of influence, the WRED framework can assist policymakers, programme managers, and women's health advocates to conceptually 'join the dots' between the intimate, interpersonal, institutional, and political spheres shaping women's reproductive health. The WRED Framework emphasises the need for each of these levels to be taken into consideration simultaneously when designing health policy and programs in Indonesia.

'Hay que hacerle': Low-income cancer patients and Zombie protocols in Colombia
This presentation focuses on cancer, therapeutic futility and the paradoxes of the universal health care mandate in neoliberal Colombia. While the 1993 national health care reform seeks to guarantee access to medical services to all Colombians, it has set up the terrain for what Sharon Kaufman calls Ordinary Medicine (2015). This concept refers to a development in modern medicine by which more aggressive interventions become standardized, normal and ethically appropriate, especially in patients who are older or suffering from advanced or terminal diseases. In the case of cancer care in Colombia, I argue, the combination of ordinary medicine and the national mandate for universal health care has created the conditions by which aggressive and high-cost chemotherapy became the ethically appropriate treatment, especially for low-income patients who are often diagnosed when their disease is advanced and incurable, and who can seldom access high-cost treatments on time.
Camilla Hoffmann Merrild
Health inequalities in a welfare state; reflections on assumptions, constructions, policies and interventions
Departing in contemporary discussions on social inequality in health and illness, I want to explore how the situatedness of health, illness and the body, relate with ways of addressing the socioeconomic position, social vulnerability or at-risk status within health promotion and illness prevention. Departing in my own research on early/timely diagnosis and care-seeking, I am particularly interested in discussing how we as anthropologists engage with categories used to describe health inequalities, and how we grapple with these theoretically as well as methodologically.
Natalia Luxardo
Despacito: Research on health inequalities among structurally vulnerable communities in Argentina
Drawing on a five-year research study with structurally vulnerable communities in Argentina, this presentation will focus on some conceptual, epistemological and ethical reflections. The presentation will first define some critical approaches to health inequalities used in the study, such as social epidemiology, Latin American Social Medicine and Collective Health. It will then define analytical concepts such as 'violence continuum', ´structural vulnerability' and ´modos de vida´ (ways of life). Afterwards, this presentation will include a discussion of some empirical results taking into consideration the ethical and methodological challenges faced during fieldwork.

Q: Suggesting similar sentences I am trying to create a sentence auto-complete model which will suggest similar sentences.
Problem: I have a sentence corpora of more than 20000 sentences. I want to create a program that would suggest similar sentences to a user as the user types in with his/her keyboard.
for example -
user: wh
suggestions: [{'what is your name?'},{'what is your profession?'},{'what do you want?'}, {'where are you?'}]

user: what is your
suggestions: [{'what is your name?'},{'what is your profession?'}]

Note:

*

*The ordering of words is important, i.e prefix of sentence and user input should be the same.

*The sentence suggestion are from available text corpora.

My approach:-
Till now I have only come up with a solution that uses trie data structure to store every sentence in text corpora.
I want to know if there are any machine learning techniques that could be implemented for sentence suggestion that also takes sentence prefix into account.
I would really appreciate anyone who could point me in the right direction.

A: Text generation is a common application of RNNs. Given a sentence prefix the neural network can be trained to predict the most probable next words.
A very interesting article written by Andrej Karpathy can be found here  along with the corresponding github repo.
Another popular method utilizes Markov Chains for text generation (for example see here )

A: if you want to use Lucene relevency, MoreLikeThis  similar sentence. or you can apply the cosine similarity for same.  hope this will help.

Placenta doesn't deliver enough oxygen or food to the growing baby.
• What Is Placental Insufficiency?
Also called placental dysfunction, it is a complication of pregnancy whereby the placenta cannot deliver enough oxygen and nutrients to the growing baby. During pregnancy the fetus depends on the placenta and the umbilical veins for receiving oxygen and nutrients from the mother's blood, and for taking away carbon dioxide and other waste products. Because of the constancy of the mother's internal environment the composition of the blood reaching the placenta is unlikely to vary much except in rare conditions of maternal circulatory failure or asphyxia, or in cases of gross metabolic disturbance such as severe untreated diabetes or kidney disease. Even if the mother's diet is poor her blood will show little alteration, and this explains why a normal sized child may still be born to a mother with a bad diet. Fetal ill-health therefore seldom arises because of the quality of the mother's blood. If a problem arises, it is more likely to be due to a physical problem with the placenta itself.
Restriction of the mother's blood flow through the placenta is the most common cause of placental insufficiency. Any restriction can have a serious effect upon fetal growth and development. Placental damage can cause restriction - damage for example caused by infarction (tissue death) or the separation from the uterine wall (placenta abruption). Spasm or blood clots in the placenta veins also have the same effect. In a few patients who give birth to babies who have obviously suffered from chronic placental insufficiency the placenta is small for no apparent reason. If pregnancy progresses beyond the due date (known as postmaturity) the placenta sometimes becomes inadequate for the needs of the large, still growing fetus. Although intrauterine fetal death before the onset of labor is rare, fetal distress may occur during labor. Intrauterine death may occur in cases of diabetes but the cause of this is uncertain. The fetus is often very large, but so is the placenta, and placental failure is not an adequate explanation. In cases of hemolytic disease (where the mother and fetus' blood groups are not compatible) the placenta is large but the fetus probably dies from cardiac failure caused by the severe hemolytic anemia rather than from placental insufficiency.
1. Weight gain by the mother.
2. Growth of the uterus.
3. Growth of the fetus.
Doctors still don't fully under how the placenta works. Yet there is a need for doctors to identify those fetus at risk of intrauterine death due to placental insufficiency so that they can be delivered before this occurs.
This should normally increase by about 1 pound a week after the first trimester, provided that the patient is not vomiting severely (hyperemesis gravidarum) and has no other disorder causing malnutrition. The components of this weight gain include the fetus, placenta, liquids, uterus, breasts and the fat store. In addition there is the increase in blood volume. These very diverse components are all dependent directly on placental function, or indirectly on it by way of the hormones it produces. Thus failure to gain weight adequately should be regarded as cause to carry out some placental function tests.
This is not always easy to assess. To get technical - simple measurements of the height of the fundus above the pubis is more accurate than the common practice of assessing fundal height in relation to the umbilicus or xiphisternum. The fundal height should increase by about 1 cm weekly from the 16th week of pregnancy, and with an average sized fetus should equal the number of weeks of gestation plus or minus 2 cm. Measurements of abdominal girth are much less satisfactory indicators of uterine growth. If the uterus seems to be growing slowly this is another reason to perform placental function tests.
The most reliable measurement of fetus growth are obtained with ultrasound. The best way to detect early signs of poor growth is to measure the abdominal circumference of the baby at the level of his liver and compare it to the size of his head. This technique calls for more sophisticated test and expertise on the part of the operator.
The most important indicator of placental function is the well-being of the fetus. A valuable sign of a healthy fetus is vigorous activity. The mother may be able to give some indication of this by keeping a 'kick count'. She can be asked to note how frequently the baby moves in a given period, perhaps 30 minutes. Alternatively she can be asked to note how long it takes for the baby to move ten times.
A more sophisticated way of assessing fetal activity is to produce a continuous record of the fetal heart rate over a period of 30 minutes or more. This is done with a cardiotocograph and is often called a non-stress test. A change in rate with fetal activity and variability of the rate from beat to beat are associated with fetal health. The heart rate may change with a uterine contraction but the normal rate is restored as soon as the contraction passes off.
The mother's weight is taken at each prenatal visit, a below-average weight gain will be the first indication of a problem. Measuring the fundus height and observation of the baby during an ultrasound will give additional information. If it is suspected that the placenta is damaged further tests will be ordered.
The excretion of estrogen hormones (particularly estriol) in the mother's urine during a 24-hour period gives a consistent indication of placental health. Several urine tests will need to be repeated to observe trends (one test is not sufficient).
A still more elaborate method of fetal assessment is the biophysical profile. This is a score based on real-time ultrasound observations of fetal breathing and body movements, tone, quantity of amniotic fluid, and on a non-stress test. Lack of movements and amniotic fluid suggest the fetus is in danger of hypoxia (oxygen deprivation), but inactivity in the fetus may also be down to other non-dangerous reasons. Prolonged observation over more than 30 minutes may be necessary and even then there is a high false-positive rate. This test has therefore not been widely adopted in the U.S.
Treating the underlying condition, if it is diabetes, kidney disease or high blood pressure during pregnancy is important. You may be confined to bed for the rest of your pregnancy. If a serious problem is detected and the fetus is viable (able to live outside the womb), labor induction may be recommended.
If the baby does not receive enough oxygen and nutrients, this can affect its growth. In some cases it leads to a very low weight in the baby, a condition called intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). IUGR increases the risk of pregnancy and delivery complications.

Borkholder Furniture produces original, American-made designs for today's modern lifestyles. This is furniture built to stand the test of time, thanks to talented craftspeople who regard their products both as works of art, and as furnishings to be used and enjoyed for generations.
Committed to preserving a sense of community and careful stewardship of the woodlands, we build sustainable, environmentally friendly products with great care and attention to detail. Great attention is paid to the natural characteristics of the local hardwoods in the furniture-making process.
Every piece of wood is hand-selected to match a specific design, often using the natural grain of the wood as a decorative element. Following an extensive drying process, the wood surface is prepared, made smooth and level using hand-held planes. Each piece is then hand-sanded to size prior to assembly and finishing of the design. As part of our environmental commitment, we utilize only eco-friendly finish formulas that are low in volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
While our furniture-making process incorporates sophisticated equipment, each piece is still produced by hand, one-at-a-time, using age-old techniques. Stain is painstakingly wiped again and again to ensure the natural beauty of the wood shines through. When satisfied with the finish color and quality, a sealer is applied, again ensuring that every side of the piece is well protected. The sealer is then sanded in a multi-step process requiring the type of careful handwork and extensive knowledge of woodworking that only highly skilled artisans can provide.
Finally, the piece is ready for its topcoat, a catalyzed lacquer varnish that ensures a long-lasting finish that will protect this investment-quality furniture day-to-day for years to come. Decorative hardware, often custom designed for the piece is added, and drawers are fit to the cases, as are leaves to the tables, with careful attention paid to ease-of-use and smooth opening and closure.
Inspected at every step of the production process, the finished piece is again extensively checked and cross-checked, and finally judged ready to be deemed Borkholder Certified. This exclusive stamp, signified by a special brass label, ensures that every piece meets Borkholder's stringent quality standards, and marks it as an original, American-made, Borkholder design.
To ensure the furniture arrives in pristine condition, we have built a state-of-the-art custom carton and packaging facility. Unique in the furniture industry, it's an innovation made possible through the synergies afforded by our parent company, Kountry Wood Products, a leading producer of kitchen cabinetry. Once properly packed, cartons are secured with high-strength bands, labeled and staged for transit in small loads.

SINGAPORE -The Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA) has warned of a fraudulent website that is phishing for visitors' personal information.
The site - immisg-mom.in - leads unwitting victims to key in their visa application numbers and passport numbers.
"ICA would like to advise members of the public to exercise caution so that you do not unwittingly fall prey to such fake websites," it said in a statement on Thursday (April 28).
Access to the official ICA website remains unaffected and no data has been compromised, ICA said.
Members of the public should use only the official ICA website at www.ica.gov.sg for all informational and transactional needs concerning immigration matters.
A police report has been made against the phishing website.
ICA said: "We will work to bring down the website and will continue to monitor them."
This is not the first fake ICA website to come to light this month. On April 8, another fake website (ica-sg.com) was reported.
In December last year, three fake ICA websites were found by the authorities.
There has been a growing number of fake government websites. At least five have been reported this year.
Most are phishing scams, which try to trick users into giving their personal or financial information through the use of fake websites or e-mail masquerading as official sources.
Other agencies that have issued advisories on such scams include the Ministry of Manpower, the Ministry of Health and the Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority of Singapore.
The target of many of these sites are mainly foreigners who may not be familiar with Singapore official websites, the Infocomm Development Authority said earlier this month.

Trout's quest for 30-30 enters final day
Angels' star is 1 HR, 1 SB shy of MLB's first such season since '12
By Austin Laymance
ANAHEIM -- Mike Trout enters the final day of the 2016 season with a chance to record Major League Baseball's first 30-home run, 30-steal season since 2012, when he and Milwaukee's Ryan Braun both accomplished the feat.A candidate for the American League MVP Award, Trout has 29 homers, 29 steals
ANAHEIM -- Mike Trout enters the final day of the 2016 season with a chance to record Major League Baseball's first 30-home run, 30-steal season since 2012, when he and Milwaukee's Ryan Braun both accomplished the feat.
A candidate for the American League MVP Award, Trout has 29 homers, 29 steals and 99 RBIs entering the Sunday's season finale against the Astros at Angel Stadium.
Trout also has an opportunity to become the first Angels player to pair a 30-30 season with 100 RBIs. Braun was the last player in baseball with such a season, doing so in '12.
Trout's 29 steals are his most since '13, when he swiped 33 bases. He's been caught stealing seven times for an 80.5 percent success rate this year.
"I think he's doing a great job of picking his spots," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. "I think he's been a very high-percentage basestealer this year. He's obviously picking his spots and he's getting good jumps and he's on the verge of stealing 30 bases."
Trout's career high for steals is 49 in '12, his second year in the Majors. He had 33 stolen bases in '13, but missed 30-30 by three homers. Then, though he hit 36 homers in '14 and 41 in '15, his stolen-base totals dipped to 16 and 11, respectively.
For a stretch of 26 seasons, from 1987-2012, MLB produced at least one 30-30 player every season but one in a non-strike year. This is the first multi-season drought since 1984-86.

12 Things I Wish I'd Known
Found: The Church of the Glorious Martyr
November 19, 2021 November 19, 2021 · Frederica Mathewes-Green
Biblical Archeology Review has reported the discovery of a 1500-year-old church about 15 miles southwest of Jerusalem. It began as a simple chapel, built inside a cave where a saint was martyred (a "martyrium") and buried. Archeologists found a large mosaic set in the floor of the courtyard that says it is dedicated to a "Glorious Martyr," but unfortunately have not found the saint's name.
The martyrium dates to the fifth century, and was expanded into a large church complex during the reign of Emperor St. Justinian, in the mid-sixth century. It was expanded again in the late sixth century, with funding from the Emperor Flavius Tiberius (AD 520-582).
All this expansion (the huge courtyard measured 43′ x 51′) was undertaken in order to accommodate large masses of pilgrims. The article says, "Over time, pilgrim routes became standardized, with pilgrims routinely referencing the same or similar routes in their accounts."
There are suggestions that this martyr was named Zechariah, but we don't know which one. A 6th c pilgrim's account says that this Zechariah was both killed and buried on the site, ruling out the 3 Zechariahs of the Bible. An 8th c pilgrim says he was disappointed that the Zechariah honored here was not the same one as the father of John the Baptist.
They've created a great app that allows you to view the site from the perspective of an archeologist–allowing you to see how it looks today, with a button that will switch it to how it looked in its prime.
(BTW, for some reason the app works on Firefox but not on Chrome, for me.)
Here's the web page for the Church of the "Glorious Martyr" and its Facebook page. What an interesting find to follow, as the work of archeology continues.

I'm glad for anyone to reprint anything. However, the publication that commissioned and paid for the essay in the first place asks that you note where the essay originally appeared (this is bracketed at the top of each essay). Many periodicals also request that you wait at least 90 days from when the item was first printed. Apart from those restrictions, it is usually all right to reprint a piece that originally appeared in a publication. However, if it is an excerpt from a book, the publisher has stricter reprint rules. Not sure? Contact me.

Winchester police: Fourth person charged in cat hoarding incident
By Mike Mavredakis
The Winchester Police Department made a fourth arrest in connection to a cat hoarding investigation where officers found over 200 cats in a home in Winsted in June.
Police charged Lee Manzone, 28, of Torrington with 106 counts of cruelty to animals and two counts of risk of injury to a minor. Manzone was arrested on an active warrant.
The police received a report of a sick cat at a home on Moore Avenue in Winsted in June. The police responded to the home and found a strong odor of urine. Numerous cats were seen inside the house, police said.
Officers found over 200 cats at the time of the complaint but were only able to verify the ownership of 106 of them, according to Winchester Police Chief William Fitzgerald.
Eight people were living in the home, including James Thomen, 61, Laura Thomen, 53, Marissa O'Brien, 30, and two minors aged 10 and 6, police said.
An investigation resulted in the arrests of James Thomen, Laura Thomen, and O'Brien in late October. Police said at the time an additional arrest warrant was pending. Police said Manzone's arrest was the final one in relation to the case.
Two children were removed from the home by the Department of Children and Families and placed in the custody of relatives, police said.
Manzone is scheduled to appear in Torrington Superior Court on Nov. 28.
