John Geddert, Former USA Gymnastics Coach has been Charged with Abuses, Dies by Suicide
A previous UNITED STATES Gymnastics trainer charged Thursday early morning with two dozen criminal charges passed away by suicide hours later, Michigan's state attorney general has actually confirmed.
John Geddert, 63, was charged of human trafficking, forced labor as well as sex-related misconduct, to name a few criminal offenses.

In a declaration, Thursday, Michigan Attorney General Of The United States Dana Nessel claimed: "My office has been notified that the body of John Geddert was found late this afternoon after taking his own life. This is a tragic end to a tragic story for everyone involved."
"In the two criminal sexual conduct counts, Geddert, 63, was accused of "sexual penetration" of a girl under 16 in January 2012, according to the complaint.
"John Geddert used force, fraud and coercion against the young athletes that came to him for gymnastics training for financial benefit to him," Nessel told reporters hours before Geddert's body was found.
"The victims suffer from disordered eating, including bulimia and anorexia, suicide attempts and self-harm, excessive physical conditioning, repeatedly being forced to perform even when injured, extreme emotional abuse and physical abuse, including sexual assault," she said. "Many of these victims still carry these scars from his behavior to this day."
The charge of lying to police was tied to allegations that Geddert's knew about Nassar's crimes."

Dispatches: Abuse of Canada's Indigenous Women Should be Properly Investigated
Upcoming Inquiry Needs to Probe All Allegations, Including Involvement of Police
Meghan Rhoad
Researcher, Women's Rights Division MGRhoad
The Canadian government is on the verge of launching a historic national public inquiry into the murders and disappearances of hundreds of indigenous women and girls. What remains to be seen is how much scope and power the inquiry will be given to delve into the issue.

To have any hope of success, it's critical the inquiry examine the role of police in this problem. But terms of reference leaked to the media this week contain no specific mention of policing. Instead, they broadly allude to "underlying social, economic, cultural, historical and institutional causes contributing to the ongoing violence…" That may or may not include police, depending on how those words are interpreted.
This issue is too important to be left up to interpretation. We appreciate reassurances from the government that the inquiry will address policing, and we recognize that the terms are not final. However, by the time this document is finalized, it should be explicit that the police fall within the mandate of the inquiry.
If the inquiry is to get to the bottom of the deaths and disappearances of indigenous women over many decades, it should take a hard look at the police forces tasked with preventing and responding to the violence. As we wrote to the government in February, that includes investigating allegations not only that police ignored violence against indigenous women and girls, but that in some cases they were the perpetrators.
In northern British Columbia, we documented abuse allegations that ranged from handcuffs applied tight enough to break the skin to sexual assault. It's not surprising that many of the women reported having little faith that the same police forces responsible for their mistreatment could offer adequate protection from violence in the wider community.
To restore faith in the system, police officers should be held accountable for misconduct. The leaked draft instructs the inquiry commissioners to refer information regarding potential misconduct to "appropriate authorities." If that means the existing complaint mechanisms at the national and provincial levels, it frequently ends up with police investigating other police – hardly a recipe for shoring up confidence in the system.
There is time yet to address these weaknesses. We urge all involved in negotiating the final terms to ensure the inquiry has the mandate it needs to address this grave problem.

Under the core / core-plus strategy, the RLI Logistics Fund – Germany II buys industrial, retail and e-commerce logistics properties in good and prime locations across Germany. Investment candidates fall into two categories: high-quality properties with long-term leases and properties with expiring leases that are fully suitable to a broad range of occupiers; and older properties with high value potential. In addition, the fund can buy assets very early during the development stage via forward purchase and forward funding agreements.
It targets an investment volume of €350-400m and has a term of ten years. The targeted annual distribution yield is 6.75 percent.

Alibaba to set up e-commerce hub in Malaysia
China's e-commerce giant Alibaba group on Wednesday announced a plan to set up an e-commerce hub in Malaysia encompassing logistics, cloud-computing and e-financial service to boost trade and e-commerce in the region.
The e-commerce hub will be part of the collaboration between Alibaba and the Malaysian government in the development of a Digital Free Trade Zone (DFTZ) in Malaysia, in line with the Electronic World Trade Platform (eWTP) promoted by Jack Ma, Alibaba's executive chairman.
In launching the DFTZ with Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak, Ma said the its first overseas e-hub would be aimed at empowering small and medium enterprises (SMEs) as well as the younger generation.
"This is the first hub specifically designed for small business and young people," he said. "And we are going to use new technology to empower small business and young people."
"There will be a logistics hub, we got one-stop service, we have got big data. As long as you have a good product, you have a good idea, this facility is going to enable you," he said.
For his part, Najib said Alibaba is the "perfect partner" for Malaysia to develop its digital economy.
Among the cooperation announced on Wednesday, Alibaba's logistic platform Cainiao and its e-commerce website Lazada will lead the effort to develop a regional e-commerce and logistics hub near the Kuala Lumpur International Airport.
The initial phase is currently expected to roll out before the end of 2017 by Alibaba, Cainiao, Lazada and Post Malaysia, leading to the planned formal launch by the end of 2019.
Alibaba Cloud, its cloud computing arm, will build a cloud platform in Malaysia to foster the local SMEs, while Ant Financial inked an agreement with Malaysia's leading banks CIMB bank and Maybank to explore collaboration opportunities in e-payment and financing services in Malaysia, with an initial focus on inbound Chinese tourism and promoting trade by Malaysian SMEs.
Daniel Zhang, chief executive of Alibaba Group, said Malaysia is chosen as Alibaba's regional logistics hub for its location as well as the fact that the two sides share the same vision.
"Globalization is Alibaba's long term strategy and today is an important milestone," said Zhang.
Neither Zhang nor Ma gave specific amount of investment that Alibaba plans to make in Malaysia, but Zhang said the group is committed to investing and developing the hub while drawing the long-term plan with the Malaysian side.

MEN WHO
MADE KC
"ADAM GOD'S" WIFE IS
GIVEN HER LIBERTY.
AFTER ELEVEN MONTHS MRS.
SHARP GOES FREE.
Doubt as to Her Sanity Leads
Prosecutor to Dismiss Indict-
ment for Riot of De-
cember 8, 1908.
After spending almost eleven months in the county jail, Mrs. Melissa Sharp, the wife of "Adam God," who was sentenced to twenty-five years in the penitentiary for the shooting of Patrolman A. O. Dalbow on December 8, 1908, will be given her liberty today on the recommendation of Virgil Conkling, county prosecutor.
"I won't prosecute any one when I have a reasonable doubt as to their sanity," he said. "I'm going to dismiss the case against her."
It lacked a few minutes of midnight last night that Mr. Conkling made known his decision. The case was promptly dismissed and Marshal Joel B. Mayes was notified to liberate Mrs. Sharp this morning.
For many weeks Mr. Conkling has had this step under advisement. Many persons expressed doubt as to the woman's sanity. She would have faced the jury on November 15. She will not even be taken before a lunacy commission.
"She will be absolutely free," Mr. Conkling said last night.
When it was hinted in her presence that she might be turned loose on the grounds of insanity, she resented the insinuation, but when she was told last night by Deputy Marshals Joe McGuire and E. S. Dudley that she was free, she began crying for joy.
"Free, did you say? I can't believe it, I'm so glad," she said.
She sat down on the edge of the bed and began to weep hysterically, while the deputies filed out quietly. The other women prisoners were awakened and before midnight it was generally known that Mrs. Sharp was free.
During her stay in the county jail Mrs. Sharp has made friends of everyone who made her acquaintance. Her patient demeanor and her solicitation for the women prisoners has made her universally liked. During the last few weeks she has admitted that her husband, whom she trusted so blindly, was wrong.
"It all seems like a dream," she has said many times. "I was following my husband on that day thinking that he could do no wrong. Now I know better."

1. Most biologic membranes are virtually impermeable to hydrophilic molecules having molecular radii significantly greater than 4 A or that have five or more carbon atoms. Thus, virtually no essential nutrients and building blocks (e.g., glucose, amino acids) can penetrate biologic membranes to any significant extent by diffusion, so other mechanisms are necessary to provide for their entry into cells. Similarly, biologic membranes are generally imper-meant to essential multivalent ions such as phosphate, so their movements across cell membranes must also be mediated by mechanisms other than diffusion.
2. The intracellular concentrations of many water soluble solutes differ markedly from their concentrations in the extracellular medium bathing the cells. For example, as discussed in Chapter 1, a characteristic of virtually every cell in the animal and plant kingdoms is that the intracellular K+ concentration greatly exceeds that in the extracellular fluid (in some cases by a factor of more than 1000 to 1), and in cells from higher animals the intracellular Na+ concentration is much less than that in the bathing media (often by a factor greater than 10). This ionic asymmetry is essential for a number of vital processes and, as we shall see, is the basis of many bioelectric phenomena that play an essential role in nerve conduction and muscle contraction. Diffusional processes alone cannot be responsible for the production and maintenance of these asymmetries.
To accommodate these two sets of observations, a concept referred to as carrier-mediated transport or the carrier hypothesis evolved. This hypothesis is generally attributed to Osterhout, who, in 1933, suggested that biologic membranes contain components ("carriers") that are capable of binding a solute molecule at one side of the membrane to form a carrier-solute complex, which then crosses the membrane, dissociates, and discharges the transported solute on the other side.
Since then an overwhelming body of evidence for the role of membrane components, or carriers, in biologic transport processes has accumulated. Carriers have been implicated in the transport of a wide variety of solutes, and the specific properties of numerous carrier systems have been described in considerable detail. Needless to say, a comprehensive discussion of biologic carriers is beyond the scope of this presentation, and we will limit ourselves to a brief consideration of some of the general characteristics of carrier-mediated transport processes. Specific systems will be considered in later sections of this volume dealing with specific tissues or organs.


I'm a geek. I like geeky stuff. For the past couple of months I was looking for a reason to buy myself a Raspberry Pi. I thought about integrating it in my room and in my car. I thought about creating an internet radio with it or just use it as a home server.
But when I came across the Internet Archive's Internet Arcade, I finally decided what my first Raspberry Pi project was going to be: building an arcade cabinet! My girlfriend and I started working on the arcade this weekend and we intent to continue to work on it during the weekends. In this post I walk you through everything we did during our first build weekend!
I didn't want to build a full scale arcade cabinet since they take up a lot of space. I found several projects online of smaller, bartop arcade cabinets. We looked at several designs but ultimately decided to follow this great Instructable. It's a very well written post with drawings and dimensions of the wood panels.
Most of the budget for the arcade went to the arcade joysticks, the buttons and the Pi. I ordered the new Raspberry Pi 2 as brain for my machine. It has a faster and more compatible processor then it's predecessor. The Pi will be connected to an old 19" display with built-in speakers.
Finding joysticks and buttons for the arcade was a little bit more difficult. I couldn't find any retailers that shipped these components to Belgium for a reasonable price. Most of them don't ship to Belgium or charge a ridiculous amount of money for it.
I choose to use MDF wood for the enclosure of the arcade. MDF is relatively cheap, pretty strong and not too heavy. It's also supposed to be very easy to paint if you use a good primer.
The side panels require a bit more work. We sketched both side panels on a piece of wood and used a piece of string to draw to curve. Afterwards I cut out the curve with a jigsaw.
We didn't just cut the side panels and control panel. The front panel, marquee and bottom are also finished. Only the screen cutout and back panel remains. That's for next weekend ;).
I started setting up the Raspberry Pi in between the wood sawing sessions. I found two operating systems for the Pi that are built for emulating classic games: PiPlay and RetroPie. Both have about the same features and come with support for many emulators. I choose RetroPie because it had a stable build for the Raspberry Pi 2 (PiPlay for the Pi 2 was in beta).
RetroPie can be used to emulate many game systems including: MAME (for all those classic arcade games), NES, SNES, GameBoy and PlayStation 1. Check out the full list of supported systems.
I downloaded the RetroPie ISO from the official website and flashed it on my MicroSD card with ApplePi Baker. This is a free utility for OS X that eliminates the use of a terminal for flashing ISO images. It takes the hassle out of using dd.
After flashing the ISO, I connected the Pi to my display, hooked it up to the internet and fired it up. The boot process takes about 30 seconds and boots directly into Emulation Station. Pretty much everything works out of the box but it requires some manual actions.
First of all we need to increase the size of the root partition. After the initial setup you're limited to about 1GB even if your SD card is bigger.
Start by running sudo raspi-config to enter the configuration utility.
Almost done! The final step is to download some game roms for the arcade. You can transfer the ROMs via SFTP to the Raspberry Pi. Login with user pi and password raspberry. Roms should be placed in the ~/RetroPie/roms/ directory.
That's it! Start Emulation Station, select the system you want to emulate, select your game and start playing with your keyboard! I'll connect the buttons and joysticks later on when the enclosure is nearly finished.
Continue reading part 2 and discover how I assembled all the individual pieces, wired everything up and configured the software for the arcade (EmulationStation & RetroArch).

Finally, Its here! "AMERICAN GODS"
After years of waiting its here, American gods first episode of its TV adaption from the best seller novel by Neil Gaiman as a reader of the original source materiel i cant be more thrilled. I am a fan of Bryan Fuller previous work "Hannibal" so i think that style of cinematography fits American gods despite being a bit bizarre but still fits really well with the theme of this show. The two main characters and Rickey and Ian are great so far, specially Mr. Wednesday the character and the actor are so perfect, also the acting thus far i have to say is really good. Well overall its been a good premier episode and its better than my expectation and cant wait for this to turn into something special or at least do good for the novel and its characters and content overall.

Streets of Rage 4 review: A glorious love letter to '90s gaming
By Damien Lucas
Wednesday, 6th May 2020, 8:38 am
Updated Wednesday, 6th May 2020, 8:39 am
A gorgeous, glorious love letter to our video gaming childhoods
If, like me, you grew up as a kid gamer of the '80s and '90s, then Streets of Rage undoubtedly has a very special place in your heart.
Nearly 20 years on, since Streets of Rage 1, 2 and 3 set the benchmark for side-scrolling beat-em-ups, the long-awaited Streets of Rage 4 has finally landed on Switch, PS4, Xbox One, and Windows.
A buzz of nostalgia
I cannot even begin to describe the absolute buzz of nostalgia you will feel firing up Streets of Rage 4. From the menus and mind-blowingly good soundtrack, to the Street Fighter-esque art style, it is immense.
The game takes place 10 years after the events of Streets of Rage 3, in which the criminal mastermind, Mr X, was finally defeated. Initially thought to be in peace, Wood Oak City falls under the control of a new crime syndicate, led by Mr X's children, the Y Twins, who are planning on brainwashing the city by using hypnotic music.
Speaking of hypnotic music, a brilliant Easter egg included in SOR4 is to be found in the audio settings. There you will see an option for 'Retro soundtrack'. Tick it, and you will bring back all the classic tunes from the originals - it really does leave the game dripping in nostalgia.
And it's not just the music which makes the audio pop. The sound effects, right down to picking up health-restoring apples and roast chickens, are a throwback you'll never get tired of.
Super slick fighting and a great soundtrack
Back to the storyline, and Blaze Fielding calls in some old favours to topple the evil twins. Joining old friends Axel Stone and Adam Hunter are Cherry Hunter, Adam's daughter, and Floyd Iraia, a cybernetically enhanced apprentice of Dr Zan.
Each fighter has different attributes, skill moves, mobility, strength and durability. And, the great thing is, I used all five of them along the way.
I must have paused SRO4 10 or 11 times in the first 10 minutes of playing to send video clips to my brother and friends because I was so thrilled by what I was seeing and doing. I was so ramped up from the trip down memory lane and, after such a long wait, I was not left disappointed with super slick fighting that was both enjoyable and responsive, matching the superb graphics and soundtrack.
As I mentioned the visual style is outstanding. The graphics are fully hand-drawn and animated by the studio behind Wonder Boy: The Dragon's Trap. They have a similar feel to that classic Street Fighter look, and the level of detail is top notch.
All over too soon
The biggest drawback - and in many ways the biggest backhanded compliment I can pay SOR4 - is that it was all over too quickly. There are 12 stages, each one beautifully crafted and memorable, with a host of different enemies and bosses.
I played on medium difficulty first time around. And, while it was certainly no cake walk (I think I had to sacrifice a shedload of points to keep continuing - maybe eight times in total), I did manage to complete story mode in around three hours.
Of course, there are a host of difficulty settings to keep you coming back for more. The game is even more fun in co-op mode and difficulty (or at least the number of enemies) is adjusted accordingly.
There aren't a truckload of meaningful or memorable extras. But I have since discovered another awesome Easter egg - that you can replay old boss battles from the original games by tasering four arcade machines dotted throughout the levels. I went back and replayed once I knew, and it once again scratched that retro itch, a superb little addition and a real reward for fanboys and girls.
A must play for any gamers of the '80s and '90s
SOR4 is only half the price of a fully-fledged current gen game. So in many ways you get what you pay for in terms of longevity.
What I will say is that I have not enjoyed three hours of gaming that much in years. A classy, stylish, super cool return for this Godfather of the beat-em-up genre.
Streets of Rage 4 is like a love letter to '90s gaming. I just hope this is the start of the series being rekindled, and perhaps coming back in a more substantial way, over the next few years as we enter the new generation of even more powerful consoles coming our way soon.
Despite the short lifespan, this is simply a must play for any gamers of the '80s and '90s, or indeed any fans of the beat-em-up genre.

Local Initiative Brings Hydrogen Filling Station to Braunschweig
H2 MOBILITY Germany to build at the Shell filling station at Hamburger Strasse, Braunschweig
Refuelling technology from Air Liquide
Construction to begin in 2019
Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure contributes € 950,000 in funding
Braunschweig — Success for the initiative for climate-consciousness in Braunschweig ("Initiative klimabewusster Braunschweiger"), which has advocated the construction of a hydrogen (H2) filling station in the region: One of the first 100 H2 stations in Germany will be integrated into Shell's filling station at Hamburger Strasse 211. The operator consortium H2 MOBILITY Deutschland is set to commence construction this summer.
Hydrogen is used to refuel electric vehicles equipped with fuel cells. The benefits: no noise, no pollutants, but the same uses, speed and range as conventional vehicles with petrol or diesel engines. Hydrogen vehicles have a range of 500 to 800 kilometres and can be refuelled within just three minutes at filling stations, as is the case with other traditional vehicles. The plant in Braunschweig is being built with technology from gas and technology specialist Air Liquide.
The network of stations at which fuel cell vehicles can refuel with hydrogen is increasing in density. At present, 62 such filling stations exist in Germany, including stations in Hanover, Wolfsburg and Magdeburg, for example. By the end of 2019 there should already be 100, and more will follow. The selected location at the Shell filling station Hamburger Strasse 211 is conveniently located close to the A2 motorway and is thus a link on the Berlin – Ruhr and Berlin – Kassel corridors.
Support for the construction of the filling station came from the local automobile developer IAV GmbH, WiTech, Forschungsflughafen Braunschweig GmbH, Veolia, Braunschweig Technical University, the Lower Saxony Automotive Research Centre, the Braunschweig location of the German Aerospace Center (DLR) and the municipal economic development agency Braunschweig Zukunft GmbH.
The Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure (BMVI – Bundesministerium für Verkehr und digitale Infrastruktur) is funding the construction of the hydrogen facility with funds of around 950,000 euros as part of the National Innovation Programme Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technology (NIP 2).
The shareholders of the H2 MOBILITY operator consortium are Air Liquide, Daimler, Linde, OMV, Shell and Total. BMW, Honda, Hyundai, Toyota and Volkswagen as well as NOW GmbH advise H2 MOBILITY as associated partners.

A: You probably want to use the Server-Side Authentication flow. By checking the calls in the documentation it is quite clear, which of your calls are wrong.
First, your call to the oauth/access_token endpoint takes no argument 'type' => 'client_cred', but it needs the parameter for your redirect_uri again:
$getStr = self::FB_GRAPH_URL . 'oauth/access_token?' . http_build_query(array(
           'client_id'     => 'APP_ID',
           'redirect_uri'  => 'REDIRECT_URI',
           'client_secret' => 'SECRET_KEY',
           'code'          => $fbCode)
          );

Then, you can't just take the answer of this call as your access_token, as there is much more in it:
access_token=USER_ACCESS_TOKEN&expires=NUMBER_OF_SECONDS_UNTIL_TOKEN_EXPIRES

and you only want the access_token part of it:
$response = file_get_contents($getStr);
$params = null;
parse_str($response, $params);

$dbpath = "https://graph.facebook.com/me?access_token=" . $params['access_token'];

On the chessboard lies and hypocrisy do not survive long. The creative combination lays bare the presumption of a lie; the merciless fact, culminating in a checkmate, contradicts the hypocrite. ~ Emanuel Lasker
The Game of Chess is not merely an idle amusement; several very valuable qualities of the mind, useful in the course of human life, are to be acquired and strengthened by it, so as to become habits ready on all occasions; for life is a kind of Chess, in which we have often points to gain, and competitors or adversaries to contend with, and in which there is a vast variety of good and ill events, that are, in some degree, the effect of prudence, or the want of it. By playing at Chess then, we may learn: 1st, Foresight, which looks a little into futurity, and considers the consequences that may attend an action … 2nd, Circumspection, which surveys the whole Chess-board, or scene of action:—the relation of the several Pieces, and their situations; … 3rd, Caution, not to make our moves too hastily... ~ Benjamin Franklin
[C]hess is not a game for dictators for numerous reasons. One, it's transparent. It's all information hundred percent available so you know exactly what you have, you know exactly what your opponent has. You don't know what he or she is thinking, but you definitely know what kind of resources your opponent can use to hurt you, to damage your position. Also, chess is very much a strategic game so you have to think long-term. Dictators don't think long-term. Dictators, especially who are in power for so long as Putin is, they have to work on the survival mode. Because it's all about today, maybe tomorrow morning. Everything that helps us survive is good. Because the moment the dictator thinks long-term, he'll definitely miss guys from his own entourage hitting him in his own back. The game that defines dictators much better is poker because it's about bluffs. It doesn't matter whether you have a strong hand or weak hand. You can have a weak hand, but if you're comfortable bluffing, raising stakes, and if you can read your opponent. ~ Garry Kasparov

Chess is so characteristic a product of the legacy of Islam that it deserves more than a passing mention. Modern European chess is the direct descendant of an ancient Indian game, adopted by the Persians, handed on by them to the Muslim world, and finally borrowed from Islam by Christian Europe. ~ H.J.R. Murrary
Life's too short for chess. ~ Henry James Byron
A friendship across sectarian lines is not a common phenomenon, in his experience. In the past, it has struck him that, apart from homosexuals, only chess players have found a reliable way to bridge, intensely but without fatal violence, the gulf that separates any given pair of men. ~ Michael Chabon
Fancy what a game at chess would be if all the chessmen had passions and intellects, more or less small and cunning; if you were not only uncertain about your adversary's men, but a little uncertain also about your own; if your knight could shuffle himself on to a new square by the sly; if your bishop, in disgust at your castling, could wheedle your pawns out of their places; and if your pawns, hating you because they are pawns, could make away from their appointed posts that you might get checkmate on a sudden. You might be the longest-headed of deducted reasoners, and yet you might be beaten by your own pawns. You would be especially likely to be beaten, if you depended arrogantly on your mathematical imagination, and regarded your passionate pieces with contempt.
Yet this imaginary chess is easy compared with the game a man has to play against his fellow-men with other fellow-men for his instruments. He thinks himself sagacious, perhaps, because he trusts no bond except that of self-interest; but the only self-interest he can safely rely on is what seems to be such to the mind he would use or govern. Can he ever be sure of knowing this? ~ George Eliot
"You are not the first to be shocked and horrified by chess," he assured her. "It is a curse of the intellect. It is a game for lunatics—or else it creates them." ~Fritz Leiber
I am more strongly confirmed than ever in the belief that the time devoted to chess is literally frittered away. It is, to be sure, a most exhilarating sport, but it is only a sport; and it is not to be wondered at that such as have been passionately addicted to the charming pastime should one day ask themselves whether sober reason does not advise its utter dereliction. ~ Paul Morphy
Yet to calculate is not in itself to analyse. A chess-player, for example, does the one without effort at the other. It follows that the game of chess, in its effects upon mental character, is greatly misunderstood. I [...] assert that the higher powers of the reflective intellect are more decidedly and more usefully tasked by the unostentatious game of draughts than by all the elaborate frivolity of chess. In this latter, where the pieces have different and bizarre motions, with various and variable values, what is only complex is mistaken (a not unusual error) for what is profound. The attention is here called powerfully into play. If it flag for an instant, an oversight is committed, resulting in injury or defeat. The possible moves being not only manifold but involute, the chances of such oversights are multiplied; and in nine cases out of ten it is the more concentrative rather than the more acute player who conquers. Edgar Allan Poe
[The queen] sits at the top of the high places above the city. She is restless and determined. She girds her loins with strength. Her feet stay not in her house. She moves in every direction and into every corner. Her evolutions are wonderful, her spirit untiring. How comely are her footsteps as she moves diagonally, one step after another, from square to square! ~ c. 12th century Spanish Hebrew text
Chess is a recreational and competitive board game played on a square chequered chessboard with 64 squares arranged in an eight-by-eight square between two players who each control sixteen pieces.

CHESS. Arabic Shatranj. According to the Hidiyah, "It is an abomination to play at chess, dice, or any other game, for if anything be staked it is gambling (maisir), which is expressly forbidden in the Qur'an; or if, on the other hand nothing be hazarded it is useless and vain. Besides, the Prophet has declared all the entertainment of a Muslim to be vain except three: the breaking in of his horse, the drawing of his bow, and playing and amusing himself with his wives. Several of the learned, however, deem the game at chess lawful as having a tendency to quicken the understanding. This is the opinion of ash-Shafi`i. If a man play at chess for a stake, it destroys the the integrity of his character, but if he do not play for a stake, the integrity of his character is not affected. (Hamilton's Hidayah)

"It's a useful mental exercise. Through the years, many thinkers have been fascinated by it. But I don't enjoy playing... Because it was a game that was born during a brutal age when life counted for little. Everyone believed that some people were worth more than others. Kings. Pawns. I don't think that anyone is worth more than anyone else... Chess is just a game. Real people are not pieces. You can't assign more value to some of them and not others. Not to me. Not to anyone. People are not a thing that you can sacrifice. The lesson is, anyone who looks on to the world as if it is a game of chess, deserves to lose. "

You know I'm finished with the old chess because it's all just a lot of book and memorization you know.
Bobby Fischer, Radio Interview (27 January 2002)
In chess so much depends on opening theory, so the champions before the last century did not know as much as I do and other players do about opening theory. So if you just brought them back from the dead they wouldn't do well. They'd get bad openings. You cannot compare the playing strength, you can only talk about natural ability. Memorization is enormously powerful. Some kid of fourteen today, or even younger, could get an opening advantage against Capablanca, and especially against the players of the previous century, like Morphy and Steinitz. Maybe they would still be able to outplay the young kid of today. Or maybe not, because nowadays when you get the opening advantage not only do you get the opening advantage, you know how to play, they have so many examples of what to do from this position. It is really deadly, and that is why I don't like chess any more.
Bobby Fischer, Radio Interview (16 October 2006)
[Capablanca] wanted to change the rules already, back in the twenties, because he said chess was getting played out. He was right. Now chess is completely dead. It is all just memorization and prearrangement. It's a terrible game now. Very uncreative.

Polly's Run Boosts Pancreatic Cancer Research
Polly Rogers Pancreatic Cancer Research Fund at UNM Cancer Center surpasses $100,000 with $37,000 donation
19-Nov-2018 11:05 AM EST, by University of New Mexico Comprehensive Cancer Center contact patient services
Newswise — "Seeing her suffer for 11 months was a difficult thing to do, and there was nothing we could do about it," Josh Rogers says about witnessing his mother's battle against pancreatic cancer. The diagnosis in July 2008, had taken their family by surprise. Polly Rogers was a healthy non-smoking wife and mother of three boys who taught elementary school and coached track and field.
When Polly passed away in June 2009, Rogers and his two brothers held the first-ever Polly's Run to honor her memory. "At the end of the day we had almost $1,000 in cash and in-kind donations," he recalls. "We had the opportunity to make a difference so individuals and families in the future wouldn't have to experience what we went through."
Rogers ran with the idea.
The annual event has grown to include more than 600 runners and walkers. It raised more than $37,000 this past June, bringing the Polly Rogers Pancreatic Cancer Research Fund at The University of New Mexico Comprehensive Cancer Center to more than $100,000.
Polly's Run is now the largest fundraising event for pancreatic cancer in New Mexico. While few pancreatic cancer survivors take part in the event — because so few survive — many families passionately support it.
"We've been blessed with a loyal following of people who do it every year," says Rogers. "[They] understand that it is absolutely critical for the families that are left after their loved one passes away to carry on this message."
The National Cancer Institute's Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results program estimates that 55,440 Americans will receive a pancreatic cancer diagnosis, and 44,330 will lose their lives to the disease in 2018. Fewer than 9 percent of people diagnosed with pancreatic cancer survive for five years or more, but that rate is even worse for those whose cancer has spread beyond the pancreas. And with no screening test, more than half of patients are diagnosed with pancreatic cancer after it has already spread.
The overall five-year relative survival rate has increased since the early 2000s, thanks to drug and treatment options that have become available since Polly Rogers passed away. And new possibilities for treatments are being studied.
The research gives hope to Rogers and to Polly's Run participants. "The group that we've created is very passionate about the cause and finding a cure," says Rogers. "That's what we're trying to do."
Organizers are planning the 10th annual Polly's Run for June 2, 2019. Visit Polly's Run to watch for details.


We are a multi-disciplinary research team committed to understanding how biodiversity responds to global change through time. Climate change, disturbance, human activity, and extinction are challenges for managing future diversity, but are also opportunities to explore the dynamics of ecology and evolution. The Earth is our laboratory, from the natural experiments of the geologic past to the challenges facing today's ecosystems. Our research spans systems and organisms, from lakes to caves, treeless islands to boreal forests, and mammoths to penguins. We research the dynamic distributions and interactions of plants, animals, humans, and environments, using the fossil record, models, and contemporary experiments. Our goal is to inform ecology, conservation, and management, using the lens of the past. To that end, we are committed to teaching, training a diverse science workforce, science outreach and communication, and doing and publishing accessible research.
In the BEAST Lab, we work on a range of fundamental and applied questions at the intersection of earth science, ecology, and conservation, including 1) the legacies of biotic upheavals like the extinction of Pleistocene megafauna, 3) novel climates, communities, and ecosystems, 2) emerging conservation methods like managed relocation, rewilding, and the use of geophysical surrogates for biodiversity, 4) how biotic interactions are influenced by climate change, 5) what the paleorecord tells us about the ability of species to keep pace with climate change, 6) human impacts on islands, and 7) the temporal dynamics of communities.
We'll be switching this over to a new lab website in summer 2018 — stay tuned!

Myopia are an Essex, UK band who launched in 2017 with Ollie and Elliot as the founder members when Ollie, the main songwriter, was just 15.
They soon attracted an appreciative following and released their debut single "Supreme" which received much praise from critics and fans alike. It was obvious they should then want to soon record and release an album, and "Living On Sixes" emerged in April 2020, which showcased their penchant for progressive and alt-rock, building on their love of the likes of Muse and Enter Shikari, again garnering favourable reviews.
It was therefore inevitable that they would want to tour the album, but the pandemic curtailed that. During 2020 and 2021, they continued to work on songs and were joined by Ben on bass, in late 2021, contributing to their efforts which will culminate in further releases in late 2022 and a second album next year which will see them finding new areas of music, but at the same time satisfying fans of the first album, and to finally tour the Myopia song canon as they had always intended.

The Difference Between Work From Home and Remote Work
With the advent of technology, remote work has become more popular than ever. It has become an integral part of modern life, allowing people to work from home, helping them to spend more time with their families, or letting them work on the road, or even sitting at their desk at home, listening to music, reading, or even sleeping.
Remote work allows workers to be able to work for others, or simply work for themselves, to be able to work anywhere they want, to be able to work when they want, to be able to work how they want, to be able to work to their own schedule.
Remote work, also known as telecommuting, is often seen as a means of working from home while still getting paid for a regular job. However, it can also be a means of getting an entirely new and different type of job, which may be better for some people than what they currently have.
A lot of new people join the online work from home world each year, but not all of them understand the difference between online work from home and remote work. Some think that all work from home is the same as remote work, thinking that you can just do everything from your house. While this may still be true to some extent, it's important to understand the difference so that you can properly utilize the opportunity of working from home or remote work.
Work From Home Is Temporary
Work from home has grown rapidly over the past few years, thanks in no small part to the proliferation of remote work apps like Skype, Facetime, and Zoom. These apps help people work from home without having to spend the extra money for business travel, and they make it easier to do work while relaxing on the couch.
For many people, work-from-home is an appealing option. But while it can provide flexibility for your working hours, it's important to understand the difference between temporary work-from-home and remote work.
Work from home isn't a permanent situation that you will never work in the office anymore. Although most work from home job doesn't require you to go to office, but if your boss ask you to come back to the office for meetings or some other reasons. You still need to come back to the office.
Remote Work Is Permanent
A major difference between work from home and remote work is that the latter is a more flexible lifestyle, which means you have more options. Work from home is temporary, but remote work is permanent. If you are working with a remote company, you don't have to go back to the office anymore because remote work means no more office, but work from home still requires you to go back to the office for some special case.
Work From Home Has More Restrictions On Where You Work
For a long time, the only way to work from home was with a traditional office. Some people would work from their homes, but there were many laws in place that would restrict where they could work, such as gas and power lines, schools, and hospitals.
Work From Home is more commonly used nowadays, but that doesn't mean it's perfect. You're limited to your house, your car, or your office, and you're limited to face-to-face meetings, which can be dangerous. Work From Home is also more expensive.
Remote Work Usually Allows You To Work From Anywhere
Working from home is a great way to work from home and maintain a work-life balance. However, not all remote work is the same. Any time you work from home there are some differences between work from home and remote work. It's also true that remote work doesn't always mean remote work because people often confuse between the remote work and work from home.
There are many jobs that are available online. There are remote jobs, and there are remote jobs. Some remote jobs require you to work from home, and others do not. These jobs are similar in many ways. They both allow you to work from anywhere, and they both allow you many of the same benefits.
But there are two major differences between these options. If you are working from home, your boss is usually still control you about where you work. But if you are working with a remote job, your boss doesn't care where you work as long as you complete the job before the deadline.
Work From Home May Requires To Returning To The Office
Work from home is explicit saying that working from home. Work from home doesn't mean you don't have to go return to the office anymore. In some cases, you still have need to return to the office from time to time for meetings and other important things.
Remote Work Never Have To Commute To The Office
In remote work, you can work from anywhere. remote work has no requirement for you to go back to the office because you will never have to go back to the office if you are having a remote job.

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) is a set of tools for the collection and maintenance of databases and their spatial position. These tools are capable of creating maps and figures to display a multitude of data and the geographic position of that data within a particular area. Point, line, and polygon features are represented with associated attributes as layers within GIS. These layers can then be visually manipulated to draw illustrative and statistical conclusions. GIS can create maps for landowners, geographically represent sales data, illustrate and manage parcel boundaries, and calculate statistics as it relates to the geographic scope of a project. But the true scope of GIS is only limited by the needs and purposes of the user or requestor.
The GIS Department is responsible for the daily operations of the County Geographic Information System (GIS) and providing technical assistance to the County, Cities, and Towns utilizing the system.
Bourbon County GIS geospatial data is considered a strategic asset for directly benefiting county office decision-making abilities, helping county and city government operate more efficiently, promoting economic development, and for delivering spatial data and services with greater speed and accuracy.


There are hotel bars. And then there are London hotel bars. Lobby-side lounging in England's capital city has long assumed the form of high art. But never before has the landscape been so dense with stunning outposts and accomplished drinkmakers. An elegant evening of bar-hopping along the Thames might more accurately end up a night of 'hotel-hopping'.
There are, of course, myriad elements to consider when evaluating any proper watering hole -- the vibe, the view, the menu, the inventory, the service, gather at the top of that list. London's best hotel bars inspire wonder by effortlessly checking off all the boxes. Booking a stay at any of these luxury lodges might seem like a no-brainer. And it is. Just don't be surprised if your nightlife doesn't extend too far beyond front reception.
The Savoy helped solidify the connection between lobby and libation over 125 years ago. The legendary 5-star destination is home to The American Bar, which literally wrote the book on craft cocktails -- long before there was such a term. Nowadays, the stately drinking den remains at the forefront of mixology. In 2017, it took top honor at the annual World's 50 Best Bar's awards. Why? An innovative menu -- overhauled seasonally, flawless execution, and impeccable service.
But whereas The Savoy is celebrated by the masses, Bar 190 at the Gore London is reserved for the in-the-know crowd. A regal parlor populated with antique furnishings and stained-teak siding, it epitomizes the aristocratic vibe of the Knightsbridge neighborhood that houses it. Yet hiding beneath that princely facade is pure rock and roll rebellion. After all, this is where the Stones' launched their iconic 1968 album, Beggars Banquet. So even as you order a decidedly serious tipple, it arrives playfully adorned with, say, marzipan garnish baked on to the stemware.
Theatre-goers that congregate here before shows (Royal Albert Hall is three blocks up the street) are a martini and olive sort of crowd. So bar manager David Sanchez Iravedra has to come correct. "To make the perfect martini you need to be meticulous and rigorous," he explains. "Every element to create this drink is important. You need good quality ice, a proper martini glass (always frozen), a good dry vermouth and obviously a good spirit, in my case, Monkey 47 [gin]."
The Connaught bar adds mobility into the mix. The buttoned-up spirits sanctuary inside the Mayfair Hotel features a 'Martini Trolley' which is wheeled table-side to ramp up the spectacle of proper martini preparation. It's hardly an elaborate display, with not much more than a bottle of booze, citrus, olives, a stirrer and ice on-board. But, then again, that's the enduring allure of this most classic of cocktails: beauty in simplicity.
Not that London's eclectic range of hotel bars doesn't include complex indulgences. Enter Dandelyan at the Mondrian Hotel, for a prime example. Overlooking the Thames, this markedly modern outpost is the whimsical brainchild of Ryan Chetiyawardana -- more alchemist than barman. His current menu, The Modern Life of Plants, incorporates an immense array of botanicals into every offering. Each is exhaustively characterized by way of flavor components, then catalogued on a matrix with light to rich on one axis, day to night on the other.
Splitting the difference between contemporary and classic is the recently re-opened Mandarin Bar at the Mandarin Oriental. Signature cocktails are inspired by and named after tree life in neighboring Hyde Park, but they preserve a certain conciseness of design; drinks such as the gracefully balanced Butterfly Gimlet involve base spirit and no more than 3-4 modifiers.
Hotel bars in London come in all shapes and sizes. Most of them have access to the same selection of quality spirits, widely available throughout the city. So ultimately, it's the people behind the bar who make all the difference. Few are willing to accept this responsibility as dutifully as Salvatore Maggio at the Franklin Hotel in Edgerton Gardens.
"The full experience needs to be impressive and remarkable," notes the charming Italian barman, who offers immersive master classes in mixology. "Meeting and greeting your guests, offering a personalized experience and making sure that everyone feels special is essential for us." A well-curated, metal-framed backbar is dimly-lit. The vibe is intimate. And although the cocktail list is expansive, Maggio prefers catering to the specific tastes of his patrons. With a few hours notice, he'll even make you a bespoke boozy popsicle.
"The cocktail menu is just a starting point," he contends. "Once I know what they like, I can personalized their experience." It's an unwavering commitment to hospitality. In this regard, London's legendary hotel bars don't really deviate from the universal rules of F+B. The English, as usual, just seem to do it with more aplomb than anyone else. Anything less would be uncivilized.

It is Time to Re-Define "Oscar-Worthy" as Oscars Needs To Stop Awarding Popularity & Box-Office Success and Focus on Talent and Prestige

All Best Actor/Actress Speeches From The Beginning Of Oscars 1929-2019
Despite being the most exciting and diverse year for film, the Oscars are shaping up to be very predictable.
Meet the Oscar 2020 Nominees | In-Depth Analysis | Academy Awards
The Academy needs to broaden their spectrum on which films are deserving.

When you hear the term "Oscar-worthy" you think of quality and prestige. Any film that wins an Oscar must be the best of the best…right? Artists strive and work their entire career to be a part of this ceremony, but the problem, is they consistently overlook clear masterpieces. In fact, some of their choices in the past decade have been quite baffling.
Five of the nine best picture nominees this year were produced by major Hollywood studios and directed by some of the biggest heavyweights in the industry, leaving out many independent hits. It comes as no surprise that the front-runners of this race are films that focus on men or violence, which consistently dominate. Big productions tackling social issues, films centered around filmmaking, war movies, and then the couple of small dramas thrown in. Major oversights include The Farewell, Uncut Gems, Atlantics, Dolemite is my Name, and Hustlers, which has caused outrage online. Unfamiliar faces are stepping onto the scene to tell these uncommon, risky stories. Though all of these films have some star power in them, the Oscars seem to have a preference for directors with a legacy of great projects. This is evident in our current nominees: Tarantino for Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Scorcese for The Irishman, Sam Mendes for 1917, Bong Joon-Ho for Parasite, and James Mangold for Ford v Ferrari. These films were all made by established and respected auteurs which shunned newer voices. The exclusion of directors such as Greta Gerwig, Noah Baumbach, and Lulu Wang tells us a lot about the movies the Academy prefers. These directors have created quieter, intimate and emotional dramas. On the other hand, films like 1917 or Joker lack subtlety. Their scores are loud and prominent, the acting is very over-the-top, and they are focused around grand set pieces. The focus on these films is not so much the characters, but the spectacle. The idea of a "one-take" war film is intriguing and different, while adding to the grandness of an otherwise shallow script. While, a production like Little Women or Marriage Story finds its brilliance within the characters. Intimate and emotional moments are where these dramas shine, but they are so obvious and pronounced like Arthur Fleck's scene on the Murray Show. The characters are more subtle and nuanced. Sam Mendes is expected to win best director for 1917 because his directing is such a distinct technical achievement. However, most agree that he was not the best this year. Many are in favor of Bong Joon-Ho, who utilized clever directing and cinematography to make an intense thriller primarily set in one mansion. Clever direction such as this often goes unrecognized in favor of more obvious and clear styles.

As awards season is continuing, we have a pretty vivid picture of who wins. Joaquin Phoenix is essentially a guarantee for best actor, along with Brad Pitt for Supporting, Laura Dern for Supporting Actress, and Renée Zellweger for Best Actress. The common theme here is that it is mostly agreed that these nominees are not the best in their categories, so why are they winning? Joaquin Phoenix has been snubbed for his previous brilliant performances in films such as The Master or Walk the Line, thus the Academy is trying to make up for this by awarding him now for Joker. We have seen this happen a couple times with actors such as Leonardo DiCaprio winning for The Revenant or Al Pacino for Scent of a Woman. By no means were any of these projects the actor's best work, nor the best of the year. However, the Academy tends to award artists based on experience or legacy, rather than the individual work. Better performances then become overshadowed as a result, such as Adam Driver in Marriage Story or Saorise Ronan and Florence Pugh in Little Women. It is almost an accepted practice that the Academy rewards experience. Despite the fact that these young actors have given some of the best performances of the year, the Academy will ignore them in favor of someone more "deserving" because "it is their time".

So, what does the Academy enjoy? This year, as with many other years, it is clear that they favor giant, popular productions focused around violence and masculinity. It is very predictable of the Oscars to award the "big war movie" or Tarantino's love letter to Hollywood, as films like this are recognized every year. In the process of looking at these films, though, they missed some of the biggest gems. There were several opportunities that they had to diversify their nominations with films such as The Farewell, Hustlers, or even Us. They could have diverse nominees from various genres, but they pick the safe options. Some of the year's best films were either comedies (Knives Out, The Farewell, Booksmart) or horror films (Us, The Lighthouse), genres that they are historically against. As a result, these were all noticeably absent from the nominations, despite their praise. It is the responsibility of the Academy to recognize great art and bring these films to the spotlight, though it seems that continually they ignore it and follow whatever is most popular. These smaller scale stories have some of the most clever and complex scripts paired with the most subtle, yet dynamic performances. But, what ultimately holds them back is their very narrow definition of "Oscar-worthy". Instead of feeling restricted by precedent, the Academy should want to break away and celebrate a wide-range of performances and genres.

HxH: God Of Choice System
HXH: G.O.C.S Chapter 119: Mike
Seeing the reward from the system, Allan was surprised. They were all devil fruit, and they were all Dog Dog fruit with different models.
He won't choose the first option no matter what.
As the saying goes, only the owner can beat his dog.
Since Mike was the watchdog of the Zoldyck family, killing it was tantamount to slapping the Zolyck family in the face.
Allan didn't want to provoke such a troublesome family, and they came here to find Killua, not to start a war.
As for the second option…
What kind of crap fruit is that? A Dalmatian Dog fruit, it was such a useless fruit…
In that case, Allan picked the last option.
He was confident that he could beat Mike, but he was unsure about taming it.
At this moment, Mike felt Allan's eyes on it, and it hostilely raised its paw to flatten Allan and the others.
Hancock and Gon directly jumped away.
The giant claw made a dull sound as they touched the ground.
"Allan?!" Gon was worried as Allan didn't avoid the claw.
Hancock on the side said: "Don't worry, he's fine." As soon as she said this, Allan's figure quickly reappeared.
The elementalization of the Ice fruit made him immune to physical attacks.
Seeing this, Mike once again attacks Allan.
Allan jumped high and appeared on top of Mike's head.
Armament-Type: Hardening!
With a strong punch, Mike laid on the ground.
Roar!
Mike roared and quickly got up.
Allan was a little surprised. He didn't expect Mike to resist that punch.
"Since one punch doesn't work, then try another one."
After avoiding Mike's attack, Allan once again slammed a punch on Mike's head.
Now that Mike stayed down, Allan only needed to tame it.
At this time, Mike was struggling to get up as he glared at Allan.
"Get down!"
An invisible aura radiated from Allan's body as he looked at Mike.
Facing the Conqueror's Haki radiating from Allan, Mika felt a terrifying pressure and, in the end, it obediently fell to the ground. Its fierce eyes disappeared as it looked at Allan like a puppy.
[Ding! You successfully tamed Mike. Reward: Devil fruit, Mythical Zoan, Dog-Dog Fruit model: Cerberus!]
Hearing the system's notification, Allan opened the Inventory to check the reward.
Right now, a new Devil fruit appeared beside the Rubber Rubber fruit he already had.
In One Piece world, each fruit could get them 100 million Belly, but the concept of Devil fruit is inexistent in the Hunter X Hunter world. So people won't believe that this fruit can give anyone powers.
Allan was planning on holding an auction for the devil fruits that he obtains since he already ate one, and he could only eat one.
However, now that Allan obtained 100 million Jenny from Chrollo, he wasn't short on money, so he decided to keep the devil fruits.
Moreover, he felt that the devil fruits given to him by the system might be the pure version of the fruit, and maybe he can eat two or even three of them, maybe even more.
Of course, this was just a guess made by Allan. The system didn't inform him of such a thing, and he had no one to ask.
At this moment, Gon and Hancock walked over, while Gon looked at Mike on the ground then at Allan with admiration: "Allan, you're so amazing!"
Hancock glanced at Allan and said: "You used Conqueror's Haki, right?"
Allan nodded: "Well, only Conqueror's Haki can tame fierce beasts."
"What is Haki?" Gon heard the new term and asked.
"I will tell you next time." Allan didn't explain much. Instead, he looked at Mike and said: "Mike, take us to look for Killua."
Hearing the name Killua, Mike roared. He obviously knew Killua seeing this reaction. Allan directly said: "Let's go."
With Allan taking the lead, the three of them rode on Mike's back.
Mike didn't seem to mind as it stood up and rushed inside the forest.
Since Mike was too fast, the trio on its back could only hold tightly so they won't be thrown off.
At this time, the butler of the Zoldyck family was looking at the screen. He saw everything unfold and couldn't help wonder: "That guy defeated Mike and even tamed it. Who is he?"
This man was Gotoh, who was responsible for taking care of Killua.
Hearing the mutter of Gotoh, the butler next to him replied: "A few minutes ago, the guard at the Testing gate informed us of them. These three are not here to make trouble but to see Master Killua."
"Looking for Master Killua?" Gotoh frowned.
"Yes, they claimed to be Master Killua's friends. According to the guard at the Testing gate, the young man who defeated Mike is Allan, and he opened the fourth gate without any trouble."
"What?" Hearing this, Gotoh stared at Allan in disbelief.
"Unexpectedly, he can open the fourth gate in a second. It seems like he is quite strong. No wonder he was able to tame Mike, just when did Master Killua make such friends?"
The butler couldn't answer Gotoh's question.
"What should we do now?"
"Relax. Although he tamed Mike, he's absolutely loyal to the Zoldyck Family. You can go to the courtyard first, and I will report to Patriarch Silva."
At this moment, there were dozens of butlers in the Zoldyck's courtyard. As for Gotoh, he headed toward the villa on top of the mountain to report about Allan and the others.
