L'oro di Mosè è un romanzo giallo dello scrittore Franco Scaglia edito nel 2006. È l'ultimo libro della trilogia composta dai volumi Il gabbiano di sale e Il custode dell'acqua.

Trama
Protagonista e ambientazione sono i medesimi dei precedenti volumi.

Nel corso di uno scavo in una grotta di Betania, il villaggio sul fiume Giordano dove fu battezzato Gesù, padre Matteo, protagonista della trilogia, scopre una serie di scheletri affiancati che portano al collo un collare di ferro simile a quello degli schiavi, ornato da oscure incisioni. All'inizio Matteo, preso dai molti compiti del suo ruolo di Custode e preoccupato per l'insorgere di una serie di malesseri che gli procurano forti dolori, e che si riveleranno per i primi sintomi del morbo di Burger, sottovaluta la scoperta. Ma quando padre Vidigal gli rivela che le incisioni rappresentano lo stemma di Federico II, e attorno a lui cominciano a verificarsi strani fatti, Matteo capisce di aver messo le mani su qualcosa che scotta.

Critica
Il libro è stato discretamente apprezzato dalla critica. L'evoluzione psicologiaca del personaggio è ben delineata, in quanto, rispetto ai precedenti libri, padre Matteo appare più disilluso e disinteressato rispetto ai misteri che gli vengono proposti. Ciò si ripercuote anche sull'andamento della trama, in quanto ci si concentra prevalentemente sulla vicenda intima del protagonista rispetto agli eventi particolari che gli avvengono intorno. L'unica pecca riscontrata da alcuni critici pare essere una leggere mancanza di atmosfera che renda il racconto carico del fascino del mistero.

Various mechanisms have its own set of outputs when they are put in motion. The analysis of the mechanism is done by calculating the position, velocity and acceleration at various points on the mechanisms. For the analysis of velocity & acceleration at any point on the mechanism we don't need to calculate forces & stresses acting in the parts of the mechanism. In other means, in analysis of motion of a particular mechanism we don't need to consider the cross section area or strength of the parts in that mechanism. Also, it does not matter whether the parts are made of cast iron or wood or anything else to study it motion analysis.

Riverdale Now Wants Us to Think That Betty Killed Jughead
by Lauren Piester | Thu., Dec. 12, 2019 4:26 PM
The citizens of Riverdale are gonna need a lot more therapy, and we might need some too. The writers could also use some, to be honest.
After spending the first half of the season trying to convince us Jughead will be murdered over Spring Break senior year, we've now gotten the flashforward that might explain how it happened, and it looks like Betty might be the culprit. Or rather, Dark Betty.
Betty's been fighting against her worst serial killer-related impulses, which she inherited from her serial killer dad, for a couple seasons now, and in last night's episode, we learned that Evelyn Evernever was using Betty's darkness to hypnotize people into trying to kill her, by making them think they were her.
She believed she had a memory of herself killing her cat with a rock after her father told her to do it, and that was the root of Betty's darkness. With some help from her (questionable, very shady, possible) half-brother Charles, she hypnotized her own self with Evelyn's trigger words and tried to save her younger inner self from murdering the cat, hoping that would kill Dark Betty.
Still with us?
Riverdale Finally Gets Some Much Needed Therapy
Basically, the end of the episode gave us a peek into the future where Archie was examining Jughead on the ground. Jughead's dead, and then we see Betty, holding a rock just like she did in her dream/memory about the cat.
So what we're being led to believe at this moment is that Dark Betty kicks back in and murders Jughead with a rock in the forest, and Archie and Veronica take the fall alongside her.
This all seems unlikely, but nearly all of the things that happened in this most recent episode (and in most episodes) felt unlikely, so who knows? Anything could happen before Spring Break next year.
We've been keeping track of the clues and flash forwards about Jughead's potential death all season long, but at this point it's actually looking more straight forward than we first thought it might be.
During Spring Break, Betty goes crazy and dark and murders Jughead with a rock. Archie and Veronica try to help her cover it up, but their coverup fails, and now they're all suspects in the murder they did commit. So simple!
But this is Riverdale, so it can't possibly be that simple. There's a catch here. It's a story Jughead wrote, or we're still missing crucial parts of what happened, or he's faking his death. We're just watching an adaptation of Jughead's first installment of a Baxter Brothers book! That's all!
"Riverdale" Star Madelaine Petsch Inspires This Makeover!
Or this show has actually committed to killing Jughead Jones, which we'd honestly be impressed by.
Either way, something's gone deeply wrong in Riverdale, and we haven't even mentioned the other stuff that happened in last night's fall finale, like Cheryl pretending to gas her own house to get her mother to crawl out of the walls or wherever she had been hiding while haunting Cheryl with a doll. Cheryl then finally gave her dead brother, whose corpse she's been hanging out with for years, a proper send off.
Veronica's war with her father continued. He patented his rum recipe, meaning Veronica can't use it to make her own rum, took away her liquor license ('cause he's the mayor now) and he brought a recruiter from Columbia to hang out at her club, which she runs, while being underage. She then performed an Elton John song.
And Archie's also still punching people and we're so done with it we don't even pay attention anymore. But then his uncle showed up? Sure.
Take a look below at the biggest Jughead-related scenes and clues we've gotten so far this season, and we'll all have a great time waiting a month to find out what on earth will happen next.
Season 3 Finale: Spring Break Senior Year (Flash Forward)
We see Betty, Archie, and Veronica in their underwear standing around a fire. Betty says this: "We have to burn all of our clothes, including Jughead's beanie. We'll wash off the blood in the swimming hole. After tonight, we never speak of this, ever. Not to each other, not to our parents. No one. We finish our senior year, we graduate, and we'll go our separate ways. That is the only way that we won't get caught."
Archie throws Jughead's hat in the fire.
Season 4, Episode 2: Spring Break (Flash Forward)
We see FP leading a search party in the woods in the rain, including Betty, Kevin, Archie, and Veronica, and they're all yelling for Jughead.
Season 4, Episode 3: Stonewall Prep
Jughead starts at a new boarding school, Stonewall Prep, where his grandfather went for a few months. He's living with familiar roommate Moose and unfamiliar and unfriendly roommate Bret. Bret and Jughead quickly became enemies, and we quickly saw that Bret has a thing for family legacies. Instead of going after Jughead, Bret started tormenting Moose.
Season 4, Episode 4: The Stonewall 4
Jughead learned of the Stonewall Four, four students who disappeared and were never seen again. Jughead nearly disappeared in this episode when he was trapped in a coffin, but that turned out to be a hazing ritual. Moose, meanwhile, really did fully disappear.
Season 4, Episode 4: Shady Charles?
Betty was happy to believe that her half brother (who is also Jughead's half brother, don't think about it too much) is who he says he is, but we saw that he was shadily listening to her phone conversation with Jughead. He's up to something, for sure.
Season 4, Episode 4: Riverdale Coroner's Office (Flash Forward)
Jughead's dead! Or at least he appears to be in a scene that shows Betty and FP looking down at a dead body that looks an awful lot like Jughead. This scene curiously didn't tell us when it was taking place, but we can only assume it's around the spring break shenanigans.
Season 4, Episode 5: Forsythe Jones the First
Jughead learned a lot more about his grandfather, and there was one alumni writer who was particularly interested in that family history, and really wanted to meet Jughead's dad at a school event.
Season 4, Episode 5: Jughead's Writing Assignment
Jughead and his writing class are currently in the midst of a contest to become the next ghostwriter of his favorite mystery books, and their assignment is to write the perfect murder. Cut to:
Season 4, Episode 5: Biology Class, Spring Semester (Flash Forward)
FP barges into biology class, where Betty, Archie, Veronica, Kevin, and Reggie are all working.
"Archie Andrews, Betty Cooper, and Veronica Lodge, you're under arrest for the cold-blooded murder of my son Jughead Jones," he says.
Season 4, Episode 8: Witness Line-up
Betty, Archie, and Jughead stand in a witness line-up, with Jughead's seminar classmates confirming that yes, those are the kids they saw murder Jughead.
Season 4, Episode 9: Dark Betty
In what appears to be the direct aftermath of Jughead's murder, Archie confirms that Jughead is dead, and then we see Betty, holding a rock, just like the one her dark self used to murder a cat (in her mind?).
Riverdale returns to The CW in 2020.

Access to social assistance and rights for homeless people
Chiara Crepaldi 3rd February 2020
Homeless people tend to have individualised, complex needs. But their first requirement is simple—a home.
Chiara Crepaldi
Access to social and health services plays a key role in guaranteeing quality of life. This is particularly relevant for the most vulnerable in society, such as homeless people—for whom access may be particularly difficult even when services are potentially available.
In October 2019 the European Commission and the Belgian government, with the support of the consultancy ICF, commissioned from the author a thematic report to feed a peer review on social assistance to homeless people. This involved representatives and experts from Austria, Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy and Romania, as well as from the European commission and NGOs.
Reasons varied
Among the many studies conducted over the years to analyse failure to take up social assistance, only a few consider the situation of homeless people (here, here and here). The reasons for non-take-up are quite varied:
lack of information—homeless people do not take up rights because they are unaware of them;
costly or complex access—application procedures are complex, homeless people frequently lack the resources to navigate the bureaucracy and, even when they know about their rights, homeless people frequently do not apply due to long waiting times or because 'what is on offer is not adapted to people's needs';
social barriers—these include the fear of being stigmatised, a subjective perception of lack of need, pride or a lack of trust in institutions;
administrative barriers—the central impediment to access here being the lack of a stable address;
benefit conditionality—people claiming benefits such as minimum income may be required to undertake a work activity as a condition for receiving the benefit, not always possible for the most vulnerable; and
limited availability of services in rural areas.
In many countries the route to obtaining social assistance and exerting fundamental social rights is registration in the population register. Having no postal address affects homeless people in a range of ways: it does not allow them to receive social welfare payments, to gain access to a general practitioner and medical care, nor to apply for work. It does not even allow them to vote or join a library.
To ensure that homeless people take up their rights several initiatives have been identified.
Granting a reference address, even if fictitious, seems to empower homeless people to 'take matters into their own hands and be more independent'. In several countries a reference address is available but obtaining it may entail a very long wait and complex procedures.
A reference address can be a mere administrative concept but, as in Belgium, it can also be envisaged as a form of social assistance and as a gateway. Other support—housing, financial, psychological, medical and social—can then be provided to reintegrate the homeless person into society.
In Ireland, the postal service launched in April 2019 the Address Point, a service based in post offices to allow homeless people to receive mail relating to medical appointments and applications for schools or jobs. The Address Point has been developed with the support of several homeless charities—in October one third of homeless people in the country had already signed up to it.
Homelessness can't be solved with an address alone. But this can help give individuals a part of their identity back.
Outreach effective
Outreach to promote access to social and health services, by qualified social workers with the involvement of NGOs, has proved particularly effective. Outreach teams are primarily designed to connect people living rough with existing services, beyond shelters.
The Dutch strategy to reduce non-take-up is a good example: in the Netherlands, the take-up rate is near to 100 per cent. A special unit was created to help homeless individuals secure access to social benefits and manage their money. Homeless individuals are given shelter before being redirected to a specific service in accordance with their needs.
In France the government established a partnership with Les Restos du Coeur, a network of 2,000 locations providing basic support each year to more than one million people in need. This network will be connected to the national social-protection network and will facilitate a first contact between people in need and the authorities.
Lowering the access threshold is another strategy to reduce rates of non-take-up of social benefits by homeless people. It can be achieved by making the services more accessible through improved design or by removing administrative hurdles. Online access to service provision, for example, is an inadequate entry point for homeless people. Several initiatives have been identified to support them in gaining access to the telematics welfare system.
Another strategy concerns the involvement of 'experts by experience'. In Finland and in Belgium former service users provide support to the government in understanding the difficulties and obstacles to access, and are consulted about how services should be designed and run.
Collaboration between services and tailor-made assistance through case management addresses a characteristic of homeless persons—the presence of different, often complex, needs which require the involvement of a wide range of service providers to tackle. Tailored case-management is the success factor in service provision, being built around the individual user and integrating housing policies, social services and health (including drugs and mental health) services.
The 'housing first' approach to avoid rough sleeping is adopted by EU member states which do not count on temporary solutions but provide different policy answers—considering that, for homeless people, a home is the first step towards social integration. This approach is evident across 16 countries, including Finland, Denmark, Germany, France, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands and the UK.
The housing-first approach, rather than moving homeless people through stages towards stable housing, moves them directly from rough sleeping or shelter to a permanent and independent home with adequate support. Such interventions treat the right to housing for homeless people as the primary and essential element for regaining autonomy.
Finland is the most advanced example. An integrated Finnish homelessness strategy was launched in 2008, its goal to halve long-term homelessness by 2011. While this was not achieved, the strategy nevertheless proved quite effective: despite the contemporaneous economic crisis, which saw long-term homelessness rise considerably elsewhere in Europe, in Finland it fell by 28 per cent.
The succeeding phase of the strategy (2012-2015) proposed as a goal to eliminate long-term homelessness by 2015 through prevention, more efficient use of social housing, strengthening of housing-advice services and the successful integration of the housing-first approach within a wider array of services. Finland has not achieved the elimination of homelessness but it has been reduced to the lowest levels in Europe, near to Denmark and Norway. Between 2012 and 2016 total homelessness in Finland fell by a further 16 per cent. What is particularly interesting is that this result has been achieved in a very short time.
In Belgium too, in recent years, the housing-first approach has been making an impact. An evidence-based evaluation demonstrated that it is the most effective response to chronic homelessness, with 93 per cent of individuals supported still in housing after three years.
Studies show that strategies based on the presumption that the needs of homeless people can be met with standard services are proving ineffective. Successful policies are centred on individual needs and preferences. This seems to be the reason why 'housing first' is much more effective at ending homelessness than other approaches adopted across Europe.
Neither the author's paper for the European Commission nor this article based on it should be taken as reflecting the official position of the commission.

NORTH SIOUX CITY | As it turned out, the pollsters had it right.
Top-ranked and two-time defending state champion Madison will play No. 2 Dakota Valley for the South Dakota Class 11A state football championship Saturday.
It's a marquee matchup pitting a Madison team quite familiar with the DakotaDome against a Dakota Valley squad dead set on capturing the school's first state title.
Madison (11-0) is in the state championship game for the fifth consecutive season, seeking its third straight 11A crown. The Bulldogs – who have won 34 of their last 35 games -- rely on a balanced and explosive offense triggered by a talented senior quarterback.
Dakota Valley, also unbeaten in 11 contests, can also put up points but boasts a stingy defense that has allowed only 12.7 points per game this season.
The Panthers have seemed to pick up steam as the season has progressed. They opened the season with a 20-0 win over a Dell Rapids team that has typically given them fits and haven't been tested since a 21-14 win over Milbank on Sept. 22.
"I don't think anybody starts the season out with those kind of aspirations," said Dakota Valley Coach Jeff VanDenHul when asked if he had a sense in the preseason that his team was good enough to reach the state finals. "Until things get rolling into your season you never know and sometimes it's not about how good you are but about how good other teams are. We've just been able to get on a roll since the beginning of the season and a lot of good things have happened.
The Panthers will have to deal with not only Josh Giles, who has passed for 2,203 yards and 34 touchdowns, but also twin brothers Jadon and Jaxon Janke. Jadon Janke (6-3, 190) has rushed for 1,250 yards and 18 touchdowns while Jaxon Janke (6-3, 195) has 50 receptions for 1,115 yards and a whopping 22 touchdowns.
Josh Giles, who has also rushed for a career-high 224 yards, has racked up almost 4,900 passing yards and 73 touchdowns for his career.
History doesn't bode well for Dakota Valley. In its last four games against Madison, it has suffered losses of 35-13, 49-14, 48-6 and 34-12.
While Madison's offense is multi-faceted, Dakota Valley does most of its damage on the ground. The Panthers have rushed for 2,880 yards while passing for a modest 739.
Junior Nate Rice leads the way with 827 yards and 10 TDs, while senior Austin Carter has 720 yards and 10 touchdowns and junior Sam Chesterman 705 yards and seven scores.
Dakota Valley's defensive blueprint has been stopping the run (1,081 yards) and creating turnovers (19 interceptions, 11 fumble recoveries).
Madison's passing attack can hurt you in a number of ways.
Dakota Valley is playing in a state title game for the first time since 2000, when it suffered a heartbreaking 16-15 loss to Webster on a late field goal.

TONY COTON EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW
"City will be challenging for everything in three years"
He was loved at Manchester City but hated for his move across the City to United. In the second part of an exclusive interview, Tony Coton speaks to Footy Pundette about his heroes, his previous England aspirations and his regrets.
FP: What do you make of City's topsy-turvy 10 year history? Do you think the club has what it takes to establish themselves as a top four side?
TC: If you would have asked this question before the new regime had taken over then I would have probably said it would have taken a while. There's nothing more I'd like than for City to be up there challenging for all the top honours. I don't think money alone is going to get them there, as proven with the targets they have gone for and been rejected from. I think it certainly helps with the wealth of the club now. I wouldn't say it's going to be overnight success; I think it's going to take a good few years. But I would expect to see them challenging for everything, being in the top four, in three years.
FP: You were on the brink of becoming an England goalkeeper and many City fans would chant 'England's number one' to you. How do you feel knowing that injury problems prevented that?
TC: I don't know whether it was injury or just whether it wasn't my time. I'd been in the England squad around 1991-92, around the Graham Taylor era and I'd travelled around the world in the squad. But at the time, Dave Seaman, Chris Woods and Nigel Martyn were emerging. I just never seemed to get the break.
I'd got voted goalkeeper of the year by my fellow professionals and by PFA and all sorts, but I still couldn't break in. So I think, yes I know what the fans thought of me at City but it just wasn't to be on the international front for me. I wouldn't say it was heart-breaking but it was just very disappointing for me at the time. I couldn't have been playing any better. I wish it was my time now. I'd probably have got a few caps!
FP: For 10 years you was goalkeeping coach at United. Was coaching an area you had always wanted to go into?
TC: Yes. When I left United to join Sunderland I went as player-goalkeeping coach. It's a natural progression really if you want to stay in the game. Although I got offered the same role at Wolves, I just thought better the devil you know really in Peter Reid. So I went up to Sunderland, did that, and unfortunately after 12 games there I broke my leg and had to quit playing. Then I took on the reserves job which I thoroughly enjoyed. But my wife wanted to get back to the North West and Alex Ferguson offered me a job. It was always in my plans once I'd finished playing to go on to coach.
FP: What do you make of the football revolution and how money dictates how it is run?
TC: Well, the question that often gets asked to me is do I wish I was having my time now in terms of the wages paid and the salaries that they get. It's always been a business. Football is just a mega, mega business now, especially at the top end. I just feel that lower down I know how much of a struggle it is and how much they are paid lower down and it's nothing. The players that used to get decent money lower down, and I'm talking about your League One, League Two clubs. But now it's getting sucked out of those clubs and the bigger clubs are getting fatter and richer. From that point of view it's not very good. It's a massive business; television has a big say in it all. I think they should do something similar to what they do in the MLS in America, where everything goes into a central pot and it's shared out equally. That's a lot better than what's going on over here at the moment.
FP: Past or present, who do you rate as being the best ever goalkeeper?
TC: For me, the best ever of my era was Pat Jennings. He was the one that inspired me to take up the number one position. As best ever? See, I'm 47 and people talk to me a lot about Gordon Banks, but I've not seen a lot of Gordon Banks playing. Bert Trautmann was up there; everybody tells me a lot about Bert Trautmann but again I'd never seen him play. I keep saying about Pat Jennings because he was my hero but he probably wasn't necessarily the best, I just liked his style of play. In modern day I'd probably say Schmeichel takes a lot of beating, and I can say that because he played for City as well. I'll go with Pat Jennings and Peter Schmeichel.
FP: How did you make the transition from coach to agent?
TC: I think the transition has been very, very difficult. As you can see now, I'm sat in an office on my own and for 30 years I've been in an environment ever since I left school of having lots of people around me. I went straight into football at the age of 17. So lots of jokes, mickey-taking, training, travelling, sharing a room with players...so to suddenly be on my own it's a bit difficult I must admit. I'm a people person and like the practical jokes, the messing about and the banter. It's hard to make yourself laugh when you're on your own and take the mickey out of yourself (laughs). Truth be known, if the opportunity arises for me to get back in at a club in a different position other than goalkeeping coach, I would consider it very seriously.
FP: What made you want to be a goalkeeper?
TC: When I was a junior, I played at the weekends. Saturday mornings, afternoons, Sunday mornings and Sunday afternoons. I played four games at the weekend. Often we would go from one game to the other without having a shower and I played twice in goal and twice out. All the way through secondary school and I never played in goal at all. I captained Staffordshire county as a centre half. It was only when I got to about 13 my dad said to me: 'Listen, I think you're going to have a chance at being a professional as a goalkeeper. You've got all the skill of an outfield player but you just haven't got the pace'. I wasn't the quickest. I could run long distance and I would won cross countries but I was never quick enough for outfield. So, wise words from my dad, I listened to him and we decided at 15 that I would concentrate on being a goalkeeper. At 14 I was already playing for a mens pub team. I think that helped me grow up and develop a lot quicker. So the answer is two-fold really: my dad and I already had Pat Jennings as my hero and I tried to model myself a little bit on him.
FP: Do you have any regrets?
TC: Regrets? No, not really. If you dwell on the past it would drive you mad. I would have liked to get some international caps. I'd like to have stayed at City through that period if I could have done and won a trophy, I still have lots of friends who support City. I think the money side of it doesn't bother me, what they are earning now doesn't bother me one bit. I had my time and that's it.
I think if I could have done anything better and you'll not believe this, but during my time at City they didn't even have a gym. They didn't have a weight room or nothing. When I see what is at the young players' disposal now they have everything- food before and after training and drinks. We had nothing like that at City, even when I was in the first team. It was only during the latter six months of me being there, during 1996, that they started doing food for the players. They still didn't have a gym. We would have to drive to Cheadle to use the gym. So from that point of view, I wish I would have had the facilities that players get today. Maybe that would have made me work on the more physical side of me and I may not have got the injuries that I got later on. As I say, if you dwell on things it would drive you mad, so I tend to look forward rather than back.

In September, Sarah and I are walking the bronze course of the Great Pentland Push, to raise funds for St Columbas Hospice.
While you're very welcome to sponsor us directly on this page, we have a better idea… a screening of 1980's classic Local Hero at the awesome Dominion Cinema in Morningside.
We've arranged a wee glass of fizziness on arrival, or orange juice if you're the designated driver (boo!). There's also a fully licensed bar if one glass just doesn't cut it. Oh! And we're throwing in a goody bag too, just for you. Because we love you and you're awesome. Totally not because you're giving us lots of money for fund raising.
We're also holding a raffle just before screening starts. Some of the prizes are pretty stunning already and we're still adding to the collection in the days leading up to the main event. There will be a couple of other games running on the night too, to build up to the screening itself.
The screening is Tuesday the 18th September. Doors are open at 7:15pm for an 8pm start, but given the raffle and party games planned, we'd ask you to be there for as close to 7:15pm as you can manage.
And what does all this cost? A meagre £15 a ticket. That'll get you your seat on the night, a glass of aforementioned "juice" and the goody bag. We'd ask you to take a couple of shiny coins for partaking in the party fun just before screening.
Course you are! Please call or text Sarah on 07818 401 567 or email sarahpbroadley@googlemail.com.
On street parking is available free after 6.30pm. Buses to the venue include the 10,16, 23, and 27 – really any that go to Morningside Road.
Hope to you see you on the night!

Q: JQuery making the counter increase everytime onChange I have a text box in jsp. I have to statify the below rules for text box:
1. When text box is entered invalid value twice, on the third attempt I will have to make a static text in text box and make it non-editable.
I have the below code, but the condition is not satisfied:
jQuery("#rfcDetail").change(function () {
                    var string, text;
                    var counter=0;
                    var regex = new RegExp("[A-Za-zÑ&]{4}[0-9]{2}[0|1]{1}[0-9]{1}[0|3]{1}[0-9]{1}[a-zA-Z0-9]{3}$");
                    var regexTenCharacter = new RegExp("[A-Za-zÑ&]{4}[0-9]{2}[0|1]{1}[0-9]{1}[0|3]{1}[0-9]{1}$");
                    string = jQuery(this).val();
                    if( (regex.test(string)) || (regexTenCharacter.test(string)) ){
                        text = "";
                        document.getElementById("errorMsg").style.display = "none";
                        jQuery('input#btnNext').attr("disabled", false);
                        validrfc = true;
                    }else if(counter > 2){
                        jQuery(this).val('XAXX010101000');
                        jQuery(this).attr("disabled", true);
                        text = "";
                        validrfc = true;
                    }else{
                        counter++;
                        text="Enter valid value";
                        document.getElementById("errorText").innerHTML = text;
                        document.getElementById("errorMsg").style.display = "inline-block";
                        jQuery('input#btnNext').attr("disabled", true);
                        validrfc = false;
                    }
                    alert('Counter::'+counter);
                });

Here the counter variable is always 1 when I enter invalid value in textbox because I am doing it onChange everytime.
Is there any alternate approach for it.

A: In the second line of your function, you state that var counter=0; every time.
So any time you change something, it's going to start the counter at zero.  You need to remove that, then you need to make the counter a global variable (outside of your function) that holds the incremental number.
var counter = 0;
jQuery("#rfcDetail").change(function () { ...});

Obama tripled 'unmaskings' in 2016 election year
'Too many Americans' information is being culled through without a warrant'
By Garth Kant
Published May 7, 2017 at 7:40pm
WASHINGTON – Statistics contained within an official government report indicate the Obama administration requested the unmasking of almost three times as many Americans under surveillance during the election year of 2016 than during the year before.
Unmasking is the revealing of names within the intelligence community of U.S. citizens whose communications were monitored during foreign surveillance.
The director of national intelligence released a report at the end of April titled, "Statistical Transparency Report Regarding Use of National Security Authorities."
It contains a chart that shows the identities of 1,934 Americans were unmasked upon requests made by the Obama administration in 2016. That was nearly triple the number of those unmasked upon request the year before, which was a total of 654.
Writing an analysis of the report in Powerline, attorney John Hinderaker pointed out the significance of an explanatory note that claimed, virtually as a footnote, the sudden jump in unmaskings was due to a change in methodology from 2015 to 2016.
The note claimed the 2015 report "provided the number of approved requests (i.e., 654) for unmasking of U.S. person identities, rather than the number of U.S. person identities that were released. A single request may contain multiple U.S. person identities. This year's (2016) report provides the number of U.S. person identities referred to by name or title released in response to specific requests to unmask those identities."
But no explanation is given for why the accounting method should have suddenly changed, or precisely how that change accounted for such a dramatic increase.
The note simply said, "A single request may contain multiple U.S. person identities." It did not say such requests sought, on average, three separate identities. It also did not provide statistics to prove that, in fact, was the case.
Former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper
The report was released at the end of April, meaning it was compiled under the Obama administration. Dan Coats became the director of national intelligence on March 16. The report was prepared under his predecessor, James Clapper, who served in that position from August 9, 2010 until January 20, 2017.
That is the same DNI Clapper who lied to Congress in March 2013, by answering, "No," when asked, "Does the NSA collect any type of data at all on millions or hundreds of millions of Americans?"
Revelations made just months later by NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden forced Clapper to admit his answer had been untrue.
Another Obama administration official who lied about spying was former National Security Adviser Susan Rice who, during an appearance on PBS on March 22, denied any knowledge of the unmasking of associates of candidate and President-elect Trump, collected in foreign surveillance.
Two weeks later, multiple reports identified Rice as the Obama administration official who requested the unmasking of incoming Trump administration officials on several occasions.
As WND reported, Rice implicitly acknowledged she was not telling the truth when she did not deny the reports in a subsequent interview with NBC.
In his analysis of the 2015 and 2016 DNI reports of unmasking, Hinderaker says the discrepancies "cry out for witness testimony."
National Security Adviser Susan Rice
And, "First on that list is Susan Rice, but she has already refused to appear before the Senate subcommittee investigating this matter. That is no surprise; stonewalling was the Obama administration's invariable response to scandal."
"Obama and his minions stonewalled successfully for two terms, and there is no reason to doubt that they can keep it up for two more terms – Trump's," he added.
Hinderaker points out that the figure citing the number of Americans unmasked by requests in 2015 "was flatly wrong."
That was why, he said, "The data in these two reports cry out for witness testimony. Only witnesses familiar with the processes described in the reports, and who know which Obama officials requested 'unmasking' of American citizens, and why, can shed meaningful light."
On Wednesday, Rice declined a request from U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., to testify before a judiciary subcommittee hearing next week on alleged Russian interference in the presidential election.
Were she to appear, Rice would undoubtedly be asked details about her unmasking of Trump associates and whether it was for political purposes, rather than national security. President Trump has claimed the Obama administration spied on him and his associates.
On Thursday, the president tweeted: "Susan Rice, the former National Security Advisor to President Obama, is refusing to testify before a Senate Subcommittee next week on allegations of unmasking Trump transition officials. Not good!"
Also on Thursday, Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., said Congress may subpoena Rice to compel her to testify.
Gowdy told Fox News, "There are things called subpoenas. You shouldn't have to use it with a former national security adviser, but if you do, you do."
"Members of Congress don't pick the witnesses. Lawyers don't pick witnesses. The facts pick the witnesses," he added. "And whether Ambassador Rice likes it or not, she's a really important fact witness."
On Friday, former presidential candidate Sen. Ron Paul, R-Ky, announced he has formally requested the White House and House and Senate intelligence committees provide information on whether the Obama administration spied on him, and any other presidential candidates or members of Congress.
He tweeted:
"Did the Obama admin go after presidential candidates, members of Congress, journalists, clergy, lawyers, fed judges?
"Did the Obama admin use warrantless "wiretapping" on other candidates besides @realDonaldTrump?
"I have formally requested from the WH and the Intel Committees info on whether I was surveilled by Obama admin and or the Intel community!"
Also on Friday, Paul told Breitbart that "several sources" had told him that the Obama administration spied on his presidential campaign.
"We've had several people come to us and say that it happened. I don't have access to that information, but I've been very concerned that too many Americans' information is being culled through without a warrant," he said.
"I don't have any facts to say it happened," added the senator. "But numerous sources are coming to us saying it did happen so I want to search through, find out why I wasn't notified. Was it on purpose?"
"There's a lot of things to be found out, particularly since we found out that Susan Rice was unmasking people and we need to know was there a political motivation, because one of the real dangers in a free society is if government gets so powerful it's listening to all of our phone calls, the possibility of extortion, the possibility of blackmail — all of that goes up exponentially."

Chapter 27 – A Defensive Battle
Translator: Immortal Dreamer English Source: Re:Library Word Count: 1409 words
Tokugawa had a massive ego. He had blocked Lily's path for several reasons. First, it was to rip off a new disciple like he always did. Second, to give an answer to Hachiya and his other brothers. And last, for his own selfishness as he had taken a fancy to Lily.
Although Tokugawa looked like a stout boor, he was actually a calculative person. Before cutting off Lily's path, he had already investigated her background. Her family history was a mystery, but this wasn't uncommon in this chaotic era where demons and ghosts rampaged across the lands. It also seemed like she had a close relationship with the Saionji House and Uesugi Rei, nothing more than that. Tokugawa obviously did not understand the emotions between women. Hence, he thought Lily had no real backer behind her and that he could bully or threaten her easily.
Lily's refusal had fallen short of his expectations.
It had also happened in front of so many brothers of his, and this made him lose face.
"Humph! Kagami Lily, I know that I cannot force the matters between men and women. But since you've made your choice, it's time to pay up!"
Tokugawa wasn't good at dealing with women, so he switched to threatening her. Since he couldn't get what he wanted, he had finally revealed his true colors.
"Putting aside me not having magatama fragments on me, I have no reason to give them to you even if I had them," Lily responded in a harsh tone. She believed they wouldn't dare to act impudently as they were still within the Genji Clan Dojo.
Tsunemoto Torayasu took the chance to pressure her, "Lily! Don't think we won't dare to touch you inside the dojo. No one will come to save you in these woods. Today, we will teach you a lesson you'll never forget, you ignorant woman!"
Tokugawa's juniors took out their wooden swords in succession.
Lily went on guard and retreated cautiously. It can't be that these people really dare to attack me inside the dojo?
Although they were within the dojo, without a third party to act as the witness, Lily would have no chance of seeking justice if these people just beat her up and didn't kill her. After all, the dojo encompassed a vast area, and these woods were too secluded.
Is the Genji Clan Main Dojo just as Sakiko told me, and much more complicated than my imagination?
Will I have to go through this loss?
"Miss Kagami!"
A charismatic voice came through the woods at this moment.
Lily turned jubilant. Great! It's Senior Kondo.
Sure enough, Kondo had arrived together with a few elegant, scholarly disciples.
He had understood the situation after looking as he knew that Tokugawa often attempted to rip off the newcomers. Still, he couldn't pick a fight with Tokugawa for matters unrelated to him.
But if it were for Lily, Kondo would not hesitate to fall out with Tokugawa.
"Senior Kondo." As Lily didn't possess a weapon, she felt relieved when she saw Kondo arrive.
Kondo arrived beside Lily and glared at Tokugawa's group sternly, "Miss Kagami, are you all right?"
Lily shook her head, "I'm fine."
Tokugawa advanced forward and looked at Kondo somewhat condescendingly. Kondo's height stood at 1.78 meters, an exceptionally tall height in the Heian Era. Although this didn't necessarily represent the gap between their strengths, he looked short and weak when contrasted with the tiny giant-like Tokugawa.
"Kondo, this matter is unrelated to you, so why don't you get lost." Tokugawa threatened viciously.
Kondo displayed the mannerism of a genuine gentleman as he protected Lily behind him and stated in a heroic tone, "Lord Tokugawa. What matters requires a group of men like you to hold up a woman like Miss Kagami in these desolate woods?"
Tokugawa scrunched his brows as his face became taut. His glowering eyes and wrinkled nose revealed lion-like oppression, "I said that this is 𝓯𝓾𝓬𝓴𝓲𝓷𝓰 unrelated to you!"
Lily knew she was in a dangerous situation. A wise woman knew better than to fight when the odds were against her. She showed neither fear nor shyness as informed from behind Kondo, "Senior Kondo, they wanted to extort me."
"What?" Kondo's expression turned solemn. In fact, he had already guessed Tokugawa and his group's purpose. He just didn't wish to reveal his cards, but since Lily had spoken already, he couldn't act dumb anymore, "Lord Tokugawa. You are still bullying newcomers? This goes against the dojo rules. Are you not afraid of getting expelled? Moreover, how could you have the heart to harass a delicate, lovely woman like Miss Kagami? Do you still have any honor left as a man and as a samurai?"
Tokugawa remained steadfast as he replied in an infuriated tone, "Kondo, you and your group of cowardly sissies didn't dare to utter a word all these years. How come you meddle in my affairs today? Did you tire of sitting idly in the dojo or what?"
"Tokugawa, I won't care even if you insult me, but if you dare to even touch a finger of Miss Kagami, I won't stay silent!"
Kondo took a firm stance this time.
"What? Do you want to fight with me?" Tokugawa got straight to the point.
Kondo flipped his hair handsomely as he stated, "I've always focused on my training during my time in the dojo, and never took part in these pointless battles. However, if it's for Miss Kagami, I won't back off from a fight with you!"
"Good!" A savage glint lit up in Tokugawa's eyes as he sneered with his pudgy face, "I was just waiting for you to say those words! When shall we do it?"
"Humph! I'm ready anytime!" Kondo showed no deference towards Tokugawa, who possessed the strength of a Mid-Tier Sword Saint. Even Lily felt a little admiration for this.
In this Heian Era, there are still real men like Senior Kondo, Ujizane, and Uncle Matsuda.
"All right! Such a chance comes by rarely, so why don't we do it right now?!" Tokugawa strengthened the grip on his wooden sword.
"So be it!" Kondo didn't back down and stood bravely before Lily.
Ranked sixth in the dojo, Kondo Naotaka, an expert of the dojo that had remained low key for a long time!
Ranked third in the dojo, Tokugawa Shigetsugu, a fearsome expert of the dojo with a cruel and savage personality!
Lily never thought these two men would fight for her and thus felt complex emotions.
Someone interjected; it was the same voice as the girl that had defeated her.
Minamoto no Shimizu, a girl with beautiful blue-black hair donned in slim-fitting, elegant white robes, arrived alone through a trail in the woods with no weapon on her waist, and just a paper fan in hand.
Tokugawa's group that stood in opposition to Kondo's group suddenly lost all their zeal.
"Miss… Shimizu…" Tokugawa's face turned a little pale; even his voice broke up.
Ranked first in the dojo, ever since Minamoto no Shimizu had got the first rank in the dojo at fifteen years of age, she had never dropped from the position over the next three years. Although fierce competition existed within the dojo, none of those who held the second rank had challenged her for a year.
As the number one samurai among the younger generation of the Eastern Nation, she was an unparalleled existence within the Genji Dojo and possessed overwhelming strength!
Lily also looked at the girl walking towards her with astonishment, "What? You… You're Shimizu? Minamoto no Shimizu?!"
Lily naturally remembered this name!
Did I really overestimate myself today and exchanged blows with Minamoto no Shimizu, someone who can suppress Sister Uesugi? Fortunately, I'm still able to stand here with no injuries. Did Sister Shimizu hold back?
But is Sister Shimizu really stronger than Sister Uesugi? Since Lily had witnessed Uesugi Rei's wild, tyrannical strength many times, she felt a little doubtful. But no matter what, Uesugi Rei always handled her playfully.
"Tokugawa Shigetsugu," Shimizu made her way towards Tokugawa while disregarding the others as no one dared to block her path. Kondo also withdrew tactfully as Shimizu raised her head to give Tokugawa a frosty look, "Lily is my junior. Since you want her to pay you magatama fragments, how about letting me pay it for her? Why don't you tell me how much you want? I will give them to you."
Robinxen: Where are the notes you ask?! Well…basically I forgot to make any this time. Well nothing really happened anyway. Yuri goodness up next. Oh and also don't forget to check out Blue Sky for a read!

McCarthy: GOP Must Retake House for Tax Cuts 2.0 to Advance
By Sandy Fitzgerald | Wednesday, 29 January 2020 03:37 PM
The White House and lawmakers are working together for a tax cuts plan that will help the middle class, but it's important that Republicans take control of the House to make "tax cuts 2.0" work, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy said Wednesday.
"You know how great this economy is," the California Republican told Fox Business' Maria Bartiromo. "Remember, not one Democrat voted (for the tax cuts) and because of that, some were not able to be made permanent, so we need to make those permanent."
President Donald Trump also wants to look at areas where the middle class can be helped further, McCarthy said.
"This economy has been growing more of the middle class, especially when it comes to wages," said McCarthy.
There have been more jobs, and the unemployment level is at the lowest level on average than with any other president, said McCarthy, "so we are talking together trying to find that plan that we can bring forth."
However, according to the Constitution, all tax reform starts in the House, said McCarthy, so "we have to win the House back."
He said he does not believe that will be very difficult, as there are 30 Democrats in seats from states that Trump carried in 2016, and "we only need 18 seats to win the majority."
Meanwhile, McCarthy has himself set a fund-raising record for Republicans in 2019, saying it shows the likelihood the party can retake the House.
"We were able to raise $52 million dollars last year to be able to take the House back, and focus on those things that American public wants us to," said McCarthy. "Remember the Democrats, when they won the majority all they did was pick chairmen based on who would be best for impeachment. We are looking at how do we lower prescription drugs. We are looking at how do we lower prescription drugs, build infrastructure, take care of our debts and be able to move forward."

The Red-footed Boobies of Farquhar Atoll
The Island Conservation Society (ICS) has recently partnered with Professor Mathieu Le Corre (Université de La Réunion) to carry out a two-year research project on the Red-footed Booby (Sula sula) of Farquhar Atoll. The research will explore their abundance, habitat selection and movements at sea, using GPS devices, drones and genetic sampling. The project is supported by the Islands Development Company and the Farquhar Foundation and is being funded by the Seychelles Conservation and Climate Change Adaptation Trust (SeyCCAT). Results from this study will provide a vital understanding of the seabird populations and marine ecosystems of Seychelles.
Farquhar is located 770km SW of Mahé and is considerably closer to Madagascar than Seychelles, which is only 180km away. The atoll supports 10 islands in total, but 98% of the landmass is made up by two large islands, Ile du Nord and Ile du Sud. The atoll is rich in life and supports some of the best fisheries in the region, as well as high densities of turtles and seabirds. Ile du Sud has become increasingly important over the last 5 years due to a huge expansion of Red-footed Boobies which have increased from around 100 pairs to more than 10,000.

Red-footed Boobies or Fou bet in creole, are a large species of seabird which are vital indicators of marine health and the condition of fisheries. Once common across several islands in Seychelles, breeding populations are now restricted to the most remote locations, mainly Cosmoledo, Aldabra and Farquhar. Their reduced distribution is human induced, caused by; habitat loss, human consumption and overfishing of foraging grounds.
The first task is to calculate how many breeding pairs are currently present on Farquhar, this is very difficult as the colony is distributed over impenetrable Bwadamann (Pemphis acidula). A traditional method of circular plots will be used to attain average nest densities per 100m2, these figures can then be extrapolated to estimate colony size. However, a more novel method is under trial by using drone technology. Through systematically mapping the colony with high-resolution images it is possible to count every nest, minimising the need for estimations. To further compliment these assessments, remote camera traps will be deployed at night to collect data on roosting birds, previously never studied.

The second aim is to gather information of the birds foraging locations out at sea, to do this small 40 GPS loggers will be deployed on adult birds. This information is critical for marine spatial planning as it could reveal previously unknown marine hotspots which deserve regulating.
Last but not least, genetic analysis of blood samples will help determine where the influx of 'new' birds have come from. The results from Farquhar will be cross referenced against other samples collected in the region to identify migrations between islands across the south west Indian ocean.

Conclusion: Thanks to modern technology we are now able to study seabird populations to a depth previously unknown, collecting information which not only compliments conservation, but also socio-economic agendas. Their incomparable movements at sea offer a unique insight into marine ecosystems, furthering our understanding and providing information needed for effective management.
Thank you to the Islands Development Company and the Farquhar Foundation for their unwavering support towards this project.


While AIM's focus has primarily been bias in the news media, bias in the entertainment industry has been just as bad, and in some cases even worse. There is no equivalent of Fox News or talk radio when it comes to the television entertainment and film industries. Conservatives have nowhere to turn, so it largely becomes a game of spotting the left-wing messages embedded in the programming. It's generally quite easy to do.
At the time of the interview, one such movie had been announced, but not the timing of the release. That has now been confirmed, thanks to The New York Times' Maureen Dowd, who wrote about the Obama administration's cooperation with the team that created last year's "The Hurt Locker," which won six Academy Awards. According to Dowd, "The White House is also counting on the Kathryn Bigelow and Mark Boal big-screen version of the killing of Bin Laden to counter Obama's growing reputation as ineffectual. The Sony film by the Oscar-winning pair who made 'The Hurt Locker' will no doubt reflect the president's cool, gutsy decision against shaky odds. Just as Obamaland was hoping, the movie is scheduled to open on Oct. 12, 2012 — perfectly timed to give a home-stretch boost to a campaign that has grown tougher.
"The moviemakers are getting top-level access to the most classified mission in history from an administration that has tried to throw more people in jail for leaking classified information than the Bush administration.
This had to sting at the White House, coming from the usually reliable Dowd. In response, Bigelow and Boal have issued a statement that there is no political agenda at work. But in response to that, Andrew Breitbart's Big Hollywood has called on them to prove it, by delaying the release date until well after the election, so even the promotion of the film does not come at a time when it might be thought of as promoting Obama's reelection.
The interview with Ben Shapiro was primarily about the TV entertainment industry, and how it came to be the purveyor of left-wing values and propaganda that is so obvious to most viewers, even those sympathetic to such views. Shapiro talked to many Hollywood producers, and received surprisingly candid acknowledgments of their clearly intended bias. Their agenda isn't limited to including political and social views that they hold dearly, but also excluding storylines and views that are, shall we say, conservative, politically speaking.
Below, in italics, are excerpts from my interview with Ben Shapiro. You can listen to the entire interview or read the transcript here.
My approach was pretty simple. It was, "Get into the door with these people, and talk to them." That's what distinguishes Primetime Propaganda from any other book that's ever been written on TV—I actually went and spoke with the people who are involved in the making of these shows. I asked them, "What did you mean when you made the show? What was your political intent here? What were you trying to do?" They were kind enough to have me there, and to answer the questions. Now, they probably did that because they were stereotyping me—my last name is Shapiro, I went to Harvard Law School, I live in Los Angeles, I have parents who work in Hollywood—as you said, there's a really good shot that I'd be a liberal.
Creators tended to be very much to the Left, because they were drawn from vaudeville, the heavily socialist-influenced Jewish vaudeville and radio community. After World War II and the rise of TV, there is that major split—the creators who are Lefties, and the executives who are more Right-leaning.
…the TV industry continues to be based on the weird notion that young people are worth more, and if young people are worth more, you have to target them, young people happen to be liberal, the programming is liberal—and therefore they now have a market justification for what they wanted to do all along, which is to shove their politics down the throats of Americans.
To me, the single greatest indicator of the power of television is the rise of the gay marriage movement. 40 years ago, even 30 years ago, who would have thought that we'd be sitting here debating whether gay marriage was inevitable? It wouldn't have even occurred to us.
What is effective is one of the tactics they'll use in The Good Wife a lot where it's always the corporate guy who's the bad guy, the rich white guy. Law & Order does this all the time. Everybody who is bad on that show is an upper class white person. Everybody who is virtuous on that show is a victimized minority. That is something that they love to do, and that has a long term impact. It means that people hate corporations. It means people hate businessmen. It means that people tend to think that anybody who has made a lot of money in this country got it by being absolutely corrupt. That does have a tremendous impact on our debate.
The same people who are overseeing the news production are overseeing everything else. Jeff Zucker—who was offered the position of press secretary in Al Gore's administration in 2000, if Al Gore had won—started off running The Today Show, and he ended up rising up to be the head of the network. Well, when he's head of the network he's running both the news division—with, at that point, it would have been Katie Couric, I think—and at the same time he's running the entertainment division. So the same people are making all the decisions as far as programming and as far as bias. It's no surprise that, if you have the same people running the news as running the entertainment, they all tend to reflect the same values.
In 1984 there was a TV movie you may remember, The Day After. That movie was the highest rated TV movie of all time when it came out. What it was was the effects of nuclear war. What happens if there is a nuclear war between the Soviets and the United States? It shows the impact: Everybody dies. Everybody has cancer. Everybody's skin is flaking off. It was really graphic and gruesome and lovely. And the director of that movie, Nick Meyer, he said to me that the whole goal of that movie, to him, was to prevent Ronald Reagan's reelection. Now that is an in kind contribution—there's no doubt about it.
Hollywood gets all sorts of tax benefits from different states. They get all sorts of tax benefits from the federal government… If you look at Hollywood and its production facilities, they've been moving out of the country largely in order to avoid tax consequences. They've been moving to Vancouver for a while, they're moving to Europe. Now they're moving to different states that are offering them tax incentives.
[Obama] went to the head of GE, Jeff Immelt, he went to Bob Iger over at Disney, which owns ABC, and at CBS he went directly to Les Moonves, who's the head of CBS, Viacom. And he asked them—all three of whom, by the way, are major Obama donors—politely, supposedly, "Will you please put me on TV?" And they did. They put him on, and they got horrible ratings. So You Think You Can Dance—a rerun—won the night, with an eleven share or something. So, all well and good, President Obama levers his power in order to get what he needs done. Except there's one problem: There's a kickback. About a week later The New York Times reports that President Obama has come to an agreement with the pharmaceutical industry. The pharmaceutical industry is now going to endorse President Obama's Obamacare bill, and he's going to cap their liability at $80 billion over the next ten years. Well, buried in that story is a nice little kind of gem which is, as part of the deal, the pharmaceutical industry has to commit to spending $150 million on television advertising in favor of Obamacare. So that was the back scratch. He went to the networks and he said, "You need to put me on. Don't worry, I'll make the money up for you. I will use my power to get you your money." Then he went to the pharmaceutical companies and he basically blackmailed them. He said, "I'll limit your liability, but in order for me to do that you're going to have to spend a bunch of money on my friends over here." That's the way that's the way the Hollywood-D.C. back scratch works.
In terms of in terms of The Today Show, no, they didn't have me on. The View was considering it, didn't have me on. They don't want to have me on because I have tape. I have the goods. When they have on conservatives it's usually so that they can, you know, bash them around a little bit… So in terms of the mainstream media coverage, there was virtually none. It was all talk radio, Fox News, and maybe The Hollywood Reporter and Variety. The European press, by the way, did a very good job of covering it.
When conservatives make entertainment, we need to be great at it. We really cannot go off half-cocked. We can't do it in a really mediocre way. Unfortunately, a lot of the conservative entertainment actually is underfunded. It's not done very well, it's not made by professionals, it's not written by professionals, and it either looks shoddy, or it's acted shoddily, or it reads shoddy… But I have yet to see the conservative movement put the kind of money and effort into entertainment necessary to make it really great, and that's a blemish on our record. Because if conservatives don't take entertainment seriously, then we've lost this battle.

He was born under the zodiac sign Taurus and is of American nationality and black descent. Scott was born to Wanda Webster and Jacques Webster. He lived with his grandmother in South Park, Houston, when he was one year old. Located in south-central Houston, this is a high-crime area.
Travis moved with his parents to Missouri City, a middle-class suburb southwest of Houston. He attended and graduated from Elkins High School at age seventeen. He went to the University of Texas at San Antonio after high school. Still, he dropped out after his second year to focus on his music career. In 2008, Scott and his longtime friend Christ Holloway established the musical duet "The Graduates," and they put out their untitled first EP on Myspace.
In 2009, he and his classmate OG Chess started a group called "The Classmates." They worked together on two projects. After quitting college, he moved to New York City and worked with Mike Waxx. After barely four months in NYC, Scott left because he was dissatisfied with the lack of development and relocated to Los Angeles. He continued to make music while sleeping on a friend's couch in Los Angeles.

In 2012, Scott signed a publishing deal with Kanye West's GOOD Music and his first major-label contract with Epic Records. He agreed to a combined recording deal with Epic and T.I.'s Grand Hustle imprint in April 2013. The mixtape Owl Pharaoh, Scott's debut full-length effort, was independently released in 2013. Days Before Rodeo, a second mixtape released in 2014, came after it. Rodeo (2015), his first studio album, included the top-charting single "Antidote." Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight (2016) is his second album and first to reach number one on the Billboard 200.
The following year, Scott and Quavo put together a Huncho Jack group. They released an album named Huncho Jack, Jack Huncho. Astroworld, his third studio album, came out in 2018 with good reviews and gave him his first number-one single on the Billboard Hot 100 with "Sicko Mode" (which also featured Drake). The compilation album JackBoys was released by Scott's record company, Cactus Jack Records, in late 2019 and peaked at No. 200 on the Billboard 200. As soon as his song "Franchise," which features Young Thug and M.I.A., was released in 2020, Scott made history by being the first artist on the Hot 100 to have three singles debut at number one in less than a year.
Scott has become a well-known pop culture icon and artist throughout his career. Scott has worked with companies like Nike, Dior, and McDonald's, in addition to his well-reported relationship with American media celebrity Kylie Jenner. He started the record company Cactus Jack Records in 2017. Scott has had 80 songs chart at some point during his career, including four number-one successes on the Billboard Hot 100.

Q: How to express ticks in scientific form? I want to express the ticks in scientific form. I tried two ways as following
ListLogPlot[Table[{x, 10^x}, {x, -1, 1}], Ticks -> {Automatic, {10^-1, 10^0, 10^1}}]

ListLogPlot[Table[{x, 10^x}, {x, -1, 1}],
                          Ticks -> {Automatic, ScientificForm[{10^-1, 10^0, 10^1}]}]

but they just could not work as you can see; the latter even is wrong.
Why & how?
Edit by @belisarius
Scientific Notation is usually understood as ${1.\times 10^{-2}}$, however the OP wants just ${10^{-2}}$. Solutions for both cases can be found in the answers below.

A: Here's one possibility. In this case, Superscript provides the needed format of exponents but Table helps in formatting Ticks over sets of values.
ListLogPlot[Table[PartitionsQ[n], {n, 50}],
Ticks -> {Automatic, Table[{10^k, Superscript[10, k]}, {k, -2, 5}]},
PlotRange -> {Automatic, {1/1000, 10^5}}]

A: You need the second form for the ticks {position, label}.
As in
ListLogPlot[#, Ticks -> {Automatic, {#, ScientificForm@#} & /@ #}] &@Array[10.^# &, 10]

A: I would suggest using the CustomTicks package. After loading the package, you do:
ListPlot[Table[{x, Log10[10^x]}, {x, -1, 1, .1}], Ticks -> {Automatic, LogTicks}]

You can also specify to use CustomTicks's linear ticks:
ListPlot[Table[{x,Log10[10^x]},{x,-1,1,.1}],Ticks->{LinTicks,LogTicks}]

which gives a slightly different result:

There are many options in this package to modify the ticks style, spacing, etc. See the complete user's guide.

Q: Pick a specific CUDA version to use inside Singularity 3.6 container I am working on a POC of running tensorflow container via Singularity 3.6. I have a requirement that the user may need to pick an older version of CUDA which are available in a customized location rather than the system installed one.
I read the 3.6 document for GPGPU support, the -nv flag does all magic automatically, I could not see any step where I can specific which CUDA to use. I have multiple CUDA versions on the system and they are summoned by module load command normally.
Any idea is welcomed.

Carrying the Casket: Do Women Serve as Pall Bearers at a Funeral?
By: Vito Arahovites
Getting chosen to be a Pallbearer is an honour more so if you are a woman. It is not common to see women carrying the casket, but that is not to say that there is anything wrong with women taking up this honourable duty in a funeral service. At Charles J. O'Shea Funeral Homes, we applaud women who take up the duty of been pallbearers.
As a pallbearer, you are tasked with a duty that is both ceremonial and practical part of the funeral service and funeral process. You and the other pallbearers are mandated to carry the casket through every stage of the funeral. Pallbearers carry it from the memorial home to hearse, from the hearse into the church or hall where the funeral services will be held. After the service, they will carry it from there back to the hearse to be transported to the gravesite. They then offload the casket from the hearse and carry it to the grave.
Choosing Pallbearers Who Will Carry the Casket
Those tasked with the duty of being pallbearers during a funeral service can number anywhere between four and eight people. The number depends on the handles on the casket as well as those who wish to carry the casket. As such, this number and even are more than eight people.
However, six pallbearers are picked to carry the casket during a funeral service often because most caskets have three handles on each side. In most cases, pallbearers are people who have close relations with the deceased. It can be family members, relatives, co-workers, or close friends and women should not be excluded from the equation.
The Order of Carrying the Casket
Getting picked to carry the casket tends to be a thing that follows some practical considerations. For instance, most pallbearers at a funeral service are people who are strong and young and often men. This is because the casket with a deceased inside can weigh around 100 - 300 pounds. As such, it is rear to see an all-female team of pallbearers in a funeral service, though not impractical.
If women are picked along with men, you might find that they are two or just one. Women pallbearers are often placed in the middle on each side of the casket because that is where the weight of the casket is not as heavy. Note that a funeral service can have more two or three sets of pallbearers so are to make it easier to carry the casket up to its final resting place. This also ensures that anyone (male or female) who feels they would want to pay their last respects to the deceased in such a manner can be given that privilege.
Do not deny any female the opportunity to pay her last respects by being a pallbearer is she knows that she is able to carry the casket. The funeral service is just a part of the commemoration of a life and being a pallbearer takes things to a more person level. At Charles J. O'Shea Funeral Homes, we can help you organize the pallbearers you will need during a funeral service. Feel free to contact us to inquire about this or any other funeral service we offer.

Title: What is Ender's Game? Explain Ender's Game, Define Ender's Game, Meaning of Ender's Game
Description: Ender's Game is a 1985 military science fiction novel by American author Orson Scott Card. Set at an unspecified date in Earth's future, the novel presents an imperiled mankind after two conflicts with the Formics, an insectoid alien species which they dub the "buggers". In preparation for an anticipated third invasion, children, including the novel's protagonist, Andrew "Ender" Wiggin, are trained from a very young age through increasingly difficult games including some in zero gravity, where Ender's tactical genius is revealed. The book originated as the short story "Ender's Game", published in the August 1977 issue of Analog Science Fiction and Fact. Elaborating on characters and plot lines depicted in the novel, Card later wrote additional books to form the Ender's Game series. Card released an updated version of Ender's Game in 1991, changing some political facts to reflect the times more accurately; e.g., to include the collapse of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War. Reception of the book has generally been positive. It has also become suggested reading for many military organizations, including the United States Marine Corps. Ender's Game won the 1985 Nebula Award for best novel and the 1986 Hugo Award for best novel. Its sequels, Speaker for the Dead, Xenocide, Children of the Mind and Ender in Exile, follow Ender's subsequent travels to many different worlds in the galaxy. In addition, the later novella A War of Gifts and novel Ender's Shadow take place during the same time period as the original. A film adaptation of the same name written for the screen and directed by Gavin Hood and starring Asa Butterfield as Ender was released in October 2013. Card co-produced the film. It has also been adapted into two comic series.
