What is a subluxation?
Arnold Schwarzenegger, Lee Haney, and Monica Brant Recommend Chiropractic
On March 1, 2014, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Lee Haney, Monica Brant, and numerous other famous athletes showed their support for chiropractic by speaking at the International Chiropractors Association's Council on Sports & Fitness Symposium in Columbus, Ohio.
Arnold Schwarzenegger has always been a supporter of chiropractic and has spoken at this chiropractic event for the past 22 years. "This is the great thing about chiropractic. It's not only when someone has an injury or a time when there's a problem they come to the chiropractor." Arnold continued by praising how chiropractors don't just care for those who are having problems and are proactive with their patients, "…that's not the only thing you do. You then give them advice on how not to get injured, and how not to get sick in the first place."
Also in attendance was Dr. Franco Columbo, a chiropractor and former body builder who won the Mr. Olympia title twice, each time the year after Arnold. "Nothing gives you more than the chiropractic profession when it comes to health and longevity, not only for yourself, but also for your friends." Dr. Columbo continued, "Chiropractic, more than any other profession helps you do things, instead of just giving you drugs and sending you home."
Actor Joe Manganiello, who starred in numerous movies including Magic Mike and True Blood, accompanied Arnold to the chiropractic event. He is also a supporter of chiropractic. "I have been no stranger to chiropractic offices over the past few years. A few years back, I pinched a nerve between my five and six vertebrae and my whole back locked up." He went on to explain that he needed to get back on the set of the movie he was shooting, "Through a great chiropractor in Los Angeles he was able to unlock that nerve. I was able to get back into shape and keep going." He continued by noting how important chiropractic is to him. "It has been a huge part of my life."
Body building legend and eight-time Mr. Olympia, Lee Haney spoke at the chiropractic program and gave his testimony of how chiropractic has helped him. Also presenting was Monica Brant, a multiple Ms. Fitness and Figure Champion, and a legend in women's physique and fitness competitions, who also recanted how chiropractic helped her compete at the high level she has for years.
Before taking a picture with every chiropractor attending the event, Arnold summed up all the athletes and celebrities' affection for chiropractic by saying, "As you can see we all love you. We love your profession."

Letter from the Lead
Ryan Raba
We are pleased to share with the community several updates on long-running development items as part of this mid-cycle communication. Version 5.5 of the Common Astronomy Software Applications (CASA) package brings with it several updates to calibration and imaging tasks, along with a revised look and feel to our online documentation. Parallel tclean via mpicasa is now the recommended approach for imaging. We are now able to share with the community the results of our telemetry recording previously announced as part of CASA 5.4. Finally, CASA 6 is nearly ready for release with preview pip wheels now available for beta users.
Many of you have seen the statement issued by the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) on Cycle 5 mosiac issues and re-processing of some datasets. We wish to share a frank summary from the software development side of these recent challenges encountered with mosaic imaging and how we are working to improve the quality of our verification testing.
The initial release of the Cube Analysis and Rendering Tool for Astronomy (CARTA) was completed last December with a follow-on release scheduled for the near future and incremental development of major new functionality defined for the remainder of the year.
The CASA team would like to congratulate the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) collaboration on their recently-reported spectacular M87 black hole imaging results. CASA is proud to have played a small but critical specific role in the verification of EHT calibration (The Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration et al. 2019, ApJL, 875, L3), mainly via Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) specific capabilities recently added to CASA in a collaboration spearheaded by our colleagues at the Joint Institute for VLBI (JIVE), an European Research Infrastructure Consortium (CASA Newsletter #6), and within the general-purpose VLBI Radboud Pipeline for the Calibration of high Angular Resolution Data (rPICARD) developed using CASA by Michael Janssen. We appreciate JIVEs continuing investment in CASA, and expect to continue and broaden support for general VLBI processing in the coming years.
Lastly, we are currently looking for qualified Software Engineers to join the CASA development team at NRAO. These positions are located in the USA at either the Very Large Array (VLA) – Array Operations Center in Socorro, New Mexico, or NRAO headquarters (North American ALMA Science Center) in Charlottesville, Virginia.
CASA 5.5. Release
Juergen Ott
We have made a large number of exciting improvements to CASA in version 5.5. Given their novelty, we still consider the major new developments as experimental, but they are available to all users, and we welcome feedback.
For example, we established and streamlined the polarization calibration scheme for linear feeds. This development will mainly be used by ALMA, but we are also commissioning the procedures for Very Large Array (VLA) P-band frequencies at this time. Another calibration improvement is the introduction of robust and linear solvers in gaincal. We also added new weighting options to tclean, including a normalized Briggs scheme, briggsabs, and options for cube imaging to either use visibilities per plane or per cube for the image weights. To help estimating the expected image sensitivity based on visibility weights and some imaging parameters, we introduce the new task apparentsens. This task provides a good estimate of the expected thermal noise that can be used for threshold cleaning and to estimate the magnitude of any remnant systematic imaging errors.
These are just a few highlights of the CASA 5.5 release and we have made significant improvements to many other tasks such as plotms, importfitsidi, statwt, immath, as well as introduced a new single dish task sdpolaverage, to name but a few. As always, a full list of improvements is provided in the Release Notes on CASA Docs.
We also improved the CASA Docs documentation website with a more modern look and layout. This will hopefully enhance user experience while we continue to improve the CASA documentation.
Warning! We are starting to decommission the clean task. Although clean is still available in CASA 5.5, we urge all users to switch to tclean if they have not yet done so. Please contact the helpdesk if you need any help with the transition.
This is a general CASA release. ALMA and VLA pipelines are not included as updates to the pipelines are scheduled for the fall when new telescope observing cycles start.

CASA Parallel Processing & Performance
Sandra Castro, Federico Montesino Pouzols & Justo González
Fig. 1: Parallel processing in tclean for two mosaic data sets, using the multi-core Lustre file system of the North American ALMA Science Center.
CASA provides a framework to run tasks and commands in parallel using multiple cores and multiple computing nodes such as a cluster. The CASA Parallelisation framework is implemented using the Message Passing Interface (MPI) standard. The CASA distribution comes with a wrapper of the MPI executor called "mpicasa", which does several things behind the scenes to properly configure the environment to run CASA in parallel.
For most data sets, imaging and deconvolution are the most demanding in terms of run time, therefore they will greatly profit from the parallel processing provided by CASA. tclean is the primary CASA task used for imaging and deconvolution. tclean is the successor of clean, which is no longer being actively maintained. For the first time, the ALMA imaging pipeline [1] has the parallel processing mode of tclean enabled during Cycle 6 (CASA 5.4.0), achieving substantial performance improvement (Fig. 1). This is done through MPI, which speeds up various components of tclean, including gridding, deconvolution, and auto-masking. This parallel mode can be triggered in the mpicasa environment using the parameter parallel = True on normal MeasurementSet data. We are confident that this mode utilized by the ALMA imaging pipeline is mature and suitable for general use on most data sets.
Several calibration tasks can be executed in parallel with the use of an embarrassingly parallel approach that partitions the MeasurementSet (MS) into multiple Sub-MSs. The resulting partitioned MS is called Multi-MS or MMS. Logically, a Multi-MS has the same structure as a normal MS, but internally it is a group of several MSs, which are virtually concatenated. The Multi-MS approach is experimental but it is available to use in the latest CASA release. Please, report any issues with MMS to the CASA helpdesk.
For more information on parallel processing in CASA, see CASA Docs, the information provided in Castro et al. (2017) [2], and CASA Memos 4 & 5.

Telemetry Recording
Ville Suoranta & Ryan Raba
With the release of CASA 5.4.1 last year, telemetry reporting has been active and the development team has been receiving and compiling data on real world CASA usage. As described in the previous CASA newsletter, telemetry reports are anonymous usage statistics of task-level execution, timings, and OS environment. The goal is to better understand CASA usage patterns and elicit relative quality metrics to further improve CASA functionality while still protecting the privacy of our user base and science.
As it has now been ~ five months since the release of 5.4.1, we have compiled the initial telemetry summary report for release to the community. The following tables depict most/least CASA task usage from 8 Dec 2018 – 1 Apr 2019. The full table is online.

From this data, we can clearly see which tasks are executed the most (and least) both in terms of number of users and total number of times. We also get a sense of which tasks are taking the longest to complete on user machines. Note that some tasks may never have been executed, and thus not show up in the data at all.
The following chart depicts usage of the 5.4.1 release over time (release date was 8 Dec 2018). See if you can spot the weekends.
Lastly, we have usage by operating system in the following table.
Darwin 16
There are a number of caveats that come with this data. It is limited to version 5.4.1 and does not capture the entire user base, given that some percentage of people will inevitably turn it off (or run offline with no internet). The "unique users" count is estimated from a hash of the machine MAC address(es) and thus we cannot distinguish multiple users on one machine, or the same user on multiple machines. Some operating systems and VMs may further obfuscate the MAC address leading to inconsistent user counts when comparing the OS table to the task execution table. Lastly, since the telemetry is batch reported for efficiency, users who only execute CASA a small number of times may never fill a batch to report, or there may be significant lag, i.e., we have not received it yet.
Nevertheless, the CASA team is excited to begin tracking this type of information. The reports are generated from a kibana interface over an elasticsearch engine, leading to flexible and dynamic reporting including trends over time and from release to release. We also plan to combine telemetry reports with the older crash reporter system to produce a reliability metric for CASA tasks.
Mosaic Imaging & Recent Bug Fixes
Bjorn Emonts
NAASC Software Support Team, NAASC memo 117
tclean images of a 7m array simulation with 11× 3 pointings, showing the problem with the truncated version of the PB model.
Over the past development cycles, the CASA team, with help from ALMA and VLA scientists, has worked on resolving a number of issues that affected the imaging with the mosaic gridder in tclean.
As of CASA 5.0, a truncated version of the primary beam (PB) model was erroneously used for gridding the data in tclean. This truncation caused aliasing in all CASA mosaic images made with the mosaic gridder. Inside the 50% mosaic primary beam response, most mosaics were affected by flux errors at the level of a few percent, although in extreme cases errors as large as 15% were observed for ALMA. This issue was fixed in CASA 5.4 (ALMA Cycle 6).
In addition, in CASA versions 4.7 and below, a coding error caused ALMA 7m-array mosaic imaging to use a non-optimal definition for the antenna primary beam. For Nyquist-sampled mosaics, after primary beam correction, resulting ALMA 7m flux densities were too high by ~10% (~20%) within the 50% (20%) mosaic primary beam response.
These two issues were investigated and quantified for ALMA by the North American ALMA Science Center (NAASC) Software Support team, as can be read in this memo.
Another problem was that the signal-to-noise in the first pointing of a mosaic (typically a corner) could be noticeably lower than in the rest of the cube. The problem was that the first integration of the first field of each source was dropped whenever the parameter chanchunk utilized values > 1 for both gridder='mosaic' and gridder='standard' in tclean. Only images with few integrations per field were adversely affected – typically large mosaics and very short snapshot observations. This was fixed for the CASA patches 5.4.0-70 (ALMA) and 5.4.1-32 (VLA), which are now used for the ALMA and VLA 5.4 pipelines.
Recognizing the effect of problems like these on our users, the CASA team is in the process of revising its test strategy to minimize unexpected behavior, as well as better marking features as experimental in CASA Docs. These efforts are also in line with the outcome of last year's CASA users survey, where the community requested to make CASA more reliable. This is a significant undertaking that will last several development cycles, but which will make CASA more robust against bugs in the future.
Detailed information on the above bugs can be found in the CASA 5.4 Release Notes in CASA Docs.
CASA 6: Modular Integration in Python
Darrell Schiebel
Schematic overview of processes in CASA 6.
CASA has always been distributed as a single, integrated application, including a Python interpreter and all the libraries, packages and modules. As part of the ongoing development of CASA 6, and the switch from Python 2 to 3, CASA will provide greater flexibility for users to integrate CASA into existing Python workflows, with tools and tasks as standard Python modules.
From CASA 6 onward, CASA should really be thought of as the system described in Figure 1, comprising only the tools and tasks that CASA 5 currently provides. In addition, the plan is for important functionality like CARTA, the CASA viewer, and CASA plotms to be available as independent Python 3 modules (like casatools and casatasks). For example, the CASA viewer process would correspond to one of the "process" ellipses in the diagram. All of the other functionality will be preserved and will be available in an all-inclusive distribution, which also continues to serve users who are not interested in this new capability.
We plan to make the PIP wheels for casatools and casatasks available from casa-pip.nrao.edu by the publication date of this newsletter. casa-pip.nrao.edu will be a public PyPI server providing the Python 3 modules which CASA produces as PIP wheels. The casatools wheel is necessarily a binary wheel so there will likely be compatibility issues for some time as we work toward making wheels available for important Python configurations. Initially, we are targeting Python 3.6 as provided by RedHat for our wheel production, although we have had some success on other Linux-based platforms as well.
Users are welcome to try the new CASA 6 pip install to their own python environment. This is roughly analogous to using the current pre-release builds of CASA 5.x as it is coming from the unreleased master branch of the repository. Instructions are as follows (from a RHEL7 terminal window):
python3 -m venv casa6beta
source casa6beta/bin/activate
pip install --extra-index-url https://casa-pip.nrao.edu:443/repository/pypi-group/simple casatools
pip install --extra-index-url https://casa-pip.nrao.edu:443/repository/pypi-group/simple casatasks
#sanity check
import casatasks as ct
help(ct)
exit()
Note that you need python 3.6 installed and may also need libgfortran3. The use of python3 venv is a simple built-in method of containerizing the pip install such that multiple versions of CASA 6.x can be kept on a single machine in different environments.
The first official release of CASA 6, including an all inclusive environment with python in a tar file, is planned for July 2019. This will be based on the same science and functionality as the upcoming CASA 5.6 to be used in ALMA Cycle 7 processing.
Cannonball Pulsar: the Kick in CASA imaging

The Cannonball Pulsar. The high-resolution VLA image in the center is overlaid with a low-resolution panoramic view of the supernova remnant.
Using the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) and CASA, a team of astronomers has imaged a pulsar, designated PSR J0002+6216, speeding away from its presumed birthplace in a giant supernova remnant. The kick that this pulsar received from the supernova explosion, likely as a result of hydrodynamic instabilities in the supernova explosion, created a long trail of shocked particles and magnetic energy that stretches far outside the bubble of debris from the explosion.
The supernova explosion occurred ~ 10,000 years ago, and although the explosion debris originally expanded faster than the pulsar's motion, the debris was slowed by its encounter with the tenuous material in interstellar space. This allowed the pulsar to catch up and overtake the debris, ~ 5,000 years after the explosion. The pulsar's speed of nearly 700 miles per second means that it will eventually escape our Milky Way Galaxy.
The VLA image covers a region of ~ 1 square degree on the sky, observed in a single telescope pointing. For such wide fields, sky curvature and non-coplanar baselines introduce image artifacts around sources away from the phase center in standard 2D imaging. Moreover, care has to be taken in handling the antenna aperture and anti-aliasing functions in the convolution algorithm used for gridding. To image such a wide field-of-view and deal with these so-called A- and W-projection effects, the team relied on the AW-Projection algorithm in the CASA task tclean, which is currently being commissioned for general use.
The AW-Projection algorithm was developed by the Algorithm and Research Development Group at NRAO, which works closely with the CASA team on implementing new data processing algorithms for radio astronomy. This algorithm is currently undergoing commissioning for the VLA Sky Survey pipeline and is being tested for a variety of other use cases. We aim to officially endorse the AW-Projection algorithm for general use as part of the CASA 5.6 release. The calibration of the VLA data was done using the VLA calibration pipeline. Imaging for this project also utilized parallel processing using up to 80 CPU cores to gain close to linear speed-up in run time, reducing the imaging time from days to hours.
This work was presented at the High Energy Astrophysics Division meeting of the American Astronomical Society in Monterey, California and has been accepted for publication to The Astrophysical Journal Letters: F.K. Schinzel (NRAO), M. Kerr (NRL), U. Rau, S. Bhatnagar, D. A. Frail (NRAO), The Tail of PSR J0002+6216 and the Supernova Remnant CTB 1.

I am one of those people who buy lottery tickets several times a year when the publicity and the jackpot are high. In between buying the tickets and the drawing—which I have not yet won—I make plans for my winnings. These do not involve new cars, big parties, jewels or second homes.
I thought about this when I heard a recent edition of NPR's Radio Times, which focused on several books about lottery winners. Many of those who suddenly come into money through lotteries, inheritance or legal actions do no handle it well. They run through the money quickly or use it to ruin their lives through drugs, alcohol, or general higher living. Or, they get scammed.
But, not everyone loses. The people who are most successful with their wealth fall into two, sometimes overlapping, categories. The first group takes the annual payment over time rather than the lump sum amount. They recognize that it is necessary to learn how to handle their new wealth. So, even if you blow through the first or second year's income, it is unlikely that you will make twenty years of mistakes.
The really successful group makes plans for the money. They spend time thinking about what kind of person they want to be and what result they want to see from the money. They make their own lives easier and then help those close to them. They use the money to change the world in causes important to them. These are all deliberate decisions.
Plans are never cast in stone. Priorities change and needs change. But, before making a big change or taking that big move, it is best to be deliberate. Weigh the pros and cons and think about expected results.
I have made my plans and am all set if I ever win.


How Facebook Decide Which Post Will Appears In Your News Feed?
Home Blogging & SEO How Facebook Decide Which Post Will Appears In Your News Feed?
We all want to reach more and more audience and one of the biggest platforms to reach the targeted audience is through Facebook. In a study, it has been studied that in a count of 100%, only a minimum of 6% of the fans can see the contents in their Facebook news feed, whereas the rest 94% cannot.
This might sound like the upcoming nightmare but some sources have come up with new news, i.e. in the near future organic reach is going to observe gigantic drop. While, others are saying that this is a matter of time.
The statistics that are being offered by the people reveals that there has already been a huge drop back in April, which is really a matter of concern for the marketers.
The simple and straight answer to this is due to the greater number of potential contents being flooded into the news feed regularly. The only reason is the availability of large number of contents in the internet.
It has been observed that average number of Facebook users have more than 338 friends, which was 130 is 2008.
From 1500 to 15,000 potential stories Facebook takes them through the mega algorithm. Post passing the stories, Facebook displays approx 300 stories in the news feed.
Nothing comes free and till 2013 all the marketers opting for promotion had a great free ride for almost long six years. But, no more. You require making a bit of effort to show up in your fans page and give them the opportunity to browse thereby helping you to rise.
Supposedly, you want to get your website on top of Google's search results with some of the top results, do you think that you will be able to do it without paying a single money? Absolutely No and you need a good amount to pay in order to reach the top.
What is the most common thing that businesses do? Hire a good SEO company who has been marketing other brands successfully. There might be chances that you sure that you are lucky enough to get the through others and reach the top with the best keywords. But then the only question comes is for how many days will you be able to stay in that position? If you are looking for great organic results, it is time consuming and requires money.
Just like it, Facebook visibility requires the same thing. You need to choose the right topic, right style and right way to interact with the audience. Here you will again pay to promote your business by posting great contents but after paying.
Can You Improve The Organic Reach In This Way?
Suppose your Facebook page has currently more than 134000 fans, you will find a reach of 50, 000 reach on a daily basis.
Let me give you a live example. Just after 2013, it started dropping and the number came down to 33, 000. Post the end of the next year 2014, there was an average count of 8, 500 reach. This was definitely a heart break for the website owner. Fortunately, after this the bounce back rate and other spams have reduced to a greater extent.
1. Time of Publishing: This is one of the greatest factors that you need to keep in mind while publishing. It is recommended to share posts at 8.30Pm IST as the owner had seen such a leap by posting on that time.
2. Gap within The Posts: Generally you post once or twice. Well, that's definitely a good habit but once in a while give a gap in order give space to your fans. The only reason is most of the people generally don't prefer same kind of posts.
3. Length: You might feel only long contents will do justice, but it is not always true as sometimes posting short contents can bless your websites with visitors.
4. Photo Posting: Facebook prefer photo posts and give them better visibility in compared to the links. Make sure that you status do not contain of any links but photo that is linked to the website.
5. Hashtags: While different people have different opinion on the use of hashtags, giving 2-3 hashtags on a status do not make any harm.
6. Less to No CTA: Well CTA might increase the conversion rate, but not every time it seems to be a great choice. If each and every content that you post has CTA with it, it will actually make them feel like you are selling something. Rather keep it natural and let your topic attract your readers and compel them to share and like.
In a study performed by some of the popular marketers, they have said that when they have shared one of their posted content on their Facebook page making use of the parameters mentioned above like photo liked and published at 5.30 PM IST, it has actually witnessed a leap of 53, 000 reach.
When it is about gaining attention of readers, you need to get to their Facebook news feed. The above mentioned are some of the most effective tips that ensures greater reach within a very few time. Make sure you follow these smart tips to attract more eyes.

Judge Anna J. Brown: "Fundamentally inclined toward solving problems" –Lifetime Service Award 2019
January 8, 2020 /
The U.S. District Court of Oregon Historical Society is pleased to honor Judge Anna J. Brown with its 2019 Lifetime Service Award. This article is based on research, interviews, and conversations with Judge Brown, her colleagues, and friends. All photos are courtesy of Judge Brown unless noted.
Like millions of people displaced by World War II, Judge Anna J. Brown's parents, Adalbert and Margarete Jaeger, sought a new life in America. On February 7, 1952, Adalbert's 43rd birthday, he and Margarete, with their daughters Irmgard (7) and Rita (3) and Adalbert's older brother, Franz Jaeger, boarded the SS Homeland in Hamburg, Germany en route to Portland, Oregon, via Ellis Island and a cross-country train trip.
From a Family of Immigrants
Born in 1909 and 1914 respectively, Adalbert and Margarete (Kriegs) Jaeger, came from generations of farming families in East Prussia. They first lost the family farm when Russian soldiers occupied it and then lost it for good when boundaries were redrawn at the end of the war effectively "giving" their land to Poland. While Adalbert worked as a farm hand in northwestern Germany, the family applied for admission to the United States sponsored by Adalbert's brother and sister-in-law, Hugo and Lydia Jaeger, of Portland, Oregon. Hugo emigrated to the U.S. and became a citizen before the war. He and Lydia owned and operated the Broadway Dyers and Cleaners on Portland's NE Broadway and Union Avenue. They had made a home for themselves and Lydia's two adult siblings in a two-bedroom house in the Sellwood neighborhood. They marshaled their resources and assured the U.S. government that the adults and children they were sponsoring for immigration would not become "charges on society." After a seven-year wait, permission for the Jaegers to enter the U.S. finally came, and somehow enough room was found for three more adults and two children to live in the small house in Sellwood.

Anna Jaeger arrived on July 26, 1952, the first American-born member of her family. By then, Adalbert and Franz were working full time at the dry cleaners while Margarete cared for the children and managed the cramped household the families shared. With Hugo and Lydia providing their room and board, the Jaeger family saved all of Adalbert's earnings and, in 1956, they bought a house just a block away. In a place of prominence in the living room, they later hung their recently acquired citizenship papers and a painting of a red barn. "The barn was built just before the war began," Anna recalls, "and it was our Dad's last contribution to the family farm. The painting was all they had of what was and what could have been."

I have a question about the difference algorithm.
What happens in the case that the 2 geometries are disjoint? So far in my test cases it seems that in disjoint cases it will always return the second geometry, is this guaranteed ?

They'll come. But not in Boost 1.48 of which the beta date happens to be today.
Hmm, I would expect they would always return the first. That is what OGC specifies. Are you sure? I will look tomorrownight, and repair if necessary.
bg::difference(MultiPolygon, Polygon) and bg::difference(Polygon, MultiPolygon) will return always return the polygon if they are disjoint.
bg::difference(Polygon, Polygon) will always return the 1st polygon if they are disjoint.

Thanks. Yes, I could reproduce it and you are right. We have to fix this.
that for difference this of course can never be done.
So will fix this a.s.a.p. Thanks for the report.
Just a follow-up on this issue.
Let's consider the case where MP and P are not disjoint.
bg::difference(MP, P) will lose any polygon in MP that is disjoint with P.
Say the MP is the 2 squares below and P is the blue-ish rectangle.
If we support 8 geometry types, there are (theoretically) 64 possibilities for difference, and all other algorithms having two input arguments. We therefore try to limit this by automatically reversing arguments, so MultiPolygon/Polygon will be reversed to Polygon/MultiPolygon. I never realized or thought about it (blame me) that for difference this of course can never be done.
No problem, I have it now. Currently fixing it.
I believe that the difference problem you reported is fixed now. I'm avoiding now the reversal of arguments (both in difference and in sym_difference, which calls difference). It initially caused failing of one (of many) unit tests, but it appeared that that test was wrong. So thanks again for the report.
I added unit tests for your cases.
I just also tested your additional case below and it is now going OK as well, fixed by the earlier fix.
I added also a unit test for this case. See the image below.
BTW all these kind of images are created by the SVG extension which we think of moving to non-extension.
Any idea if there is an upcoming stable snapshot of the trunk ?

The real snapshots are quarterly by the new version of Boost.
so maybe we could create a tagged version before.

A security feature bypass vulnerability exists in Windows due to the way that Windows Firewall handles outbound broadcast packets. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could bypass the Windows Firewall defense-in-depth mechanism to facilitate exploitation of other vulnerabilities.
Mitigating Factors for Windows Firewall Bypass Vulnerability - CVE-2012-0174
Microsoft has not identified any mitigating factors for this vulnerability.
Workarounds for Windows Firewall Bypass Vulnerability - CVE-2012-0174
Microsoft has not identified any workarounds for this vulnerability.
FAQ for Windows Firewall Bypass Vulnerability - CVE-2012-0174
This is a security feature bypass vulnerability. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could bypass Windows Firewall to facilitate the exploitation of other vulnerabilities.
The vulnerability is caused when Windows Firewall fails to properly filter outbound broadcast packets with an outbound firewall rule applied.
What is the component affected by this vulnerability?
The component affected by this vulnerability is the TCP/IP stack (tcpip.sys).
What is TCP/IP?
TCP/IP is a set of networking protocols that are widely used on the Internet. TCP/IP provides communications across interconnected networks of computers that have diverse hardware architectures and that run various operating systems. TCP/IP includes standards for how computers communicate and conventions for connecting networks and for routing traffic. For more information about TCP/IP, see the TechNet article, Overview of networking and TCP/IP.
An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could bypass Windows Firewall. An attacker could then use another vulnerability to acquire information about the target system or execute code on the target system.
In order to use this vulnerability, an attacker would first have to gain access to the local subnet of the target computer. An attacker could then use another vulnerability to acquire information about the target system or execute code on the target system.
Workstations and servers are primarily at risk from this vulnerability.
The update addresses the vulnerability by modifying the way that Windows Firewall handles outbound broadcast packets.
What is the default outbound firewall policy?
The default outbound firewall policy is configured to allow all outbound network traffic from the host. In order to block unwanted outbound network traffic, customers will need to create firewall rules to block traffic. For more information about adding outbound firewall rules, please see the TechNet article Creating Rules that Block Unwanted Outbound Network Traffic.
An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in the Windows TCP/IP stack that affects Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2. All editions of Microsoft Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista, and Window Server 2008 are not affected. This vulnerability is caused when the Windows TCP/IP stack fails to properly handle the binding of IPv6 addresses.
Mitigating Factors for TCP/IP Double Free Vulnerability - CVE-2012-0179
Mitigation refers to a setting, common configuration, or general best-practice, existing in a default state, that could reduce the severity of exploitation of a vulnerability. The following mitigating factors may be helpful in your situation:
An attacker must have valid logon credentials and be able to log on locally to exploit this vulnerability.
Workarounds for TCP/IP Double Free Vulnerability - CVE-2012-0179
FAQ for TCP/IP Double Free Vulnerability - CVE-2012-0179
This is an elevation of privilege vulnerability.
The vulnerability is caused when the Windows TCP/IP stack fails to properly handle the binding of an IPv6 address to a local interface.
An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could run arbitrary code in the context of another process. If this process runs with administrator privileges, an attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights.
To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker would first have to log on to the system. An attacker could then run a specially crafted application that could exploit the vulnerability and take complete control over the affected system.
Workstations and servers are affected by this vulnerability.

They say dying in your sleep is the best way to go, but maybe there's a better way still: in love. This very bittersweet story comes from Hartford, Connecticut where a woman fighting breast cancer spent her final moments basking in the romantic glow of her new marriage, AP Reports. On December 22nd, just 18 hours before Heather Mosher passed away at St. Francis Hospital and Medical Center in Harford, she wore a wedding gown as she exchanged vows with David Mosher in the hospital's chapel.
I am in awe of the strength Dave's love inspired in Heather even in her last hours. She was his great love and he was hers. I pray these moments give Dave the same strength now to carry on the legacy of their love. Heather, you are greatly missed. The earth froze yesterday as the warmth of your light ascended to be with God for eternity. Until we meet again my dear friend. Watch over us. Original post from 12/24/17.
Heather's funeral was held on Dec. 30th, the original date of her wedding. Even when facing death, love really does conquer all.

Why This Whole30 Approved Sauce Keeps Selling Out
By Emily Cappiello/Aug. 11, 2021 3:46 pm EST
You know what they say: Condiments make everything better. (Okay, maybe that's not a saying, but it is absolutely true.) From ketchup on fries to ranch dressing on anything and everything, a good food enhancement can take a meal from good to great. But sometimes, these condiments can pack on the calories (there are about 129 calories in a 2-tablespoon serving of ranch, per Healthline) and sugar (a 20-ounce bottle of ketchup can hold almost 2/3 cup of sugar, per Insider). Condiments may be worth it for your tastebuds but aren't necessarily the best choice for your overall health.
Cue Whole30 (the brand, not the elimination program). Built around making healthier life easier for people, the brand recently released a line of sauces and condiments that can make a fan out of anyone, even if the program isn't your thing. In the line is Ranch, Elderberry Vinaigrette, Balsamic Vinaigrette, and Buffalo Vinaigrette. But the real crowd-pleaser out of this line is the Whole30 Secret Sauce. How do we know? Because it's almost always sold out.
What's in the Whole30 Secret Sauce?
Described by the brand as a "kind of magic that's good on everything," the Whole30 secret sauce can be used, virtually, on everything. And it seems that everyone who has been lucky enough to get their hands on this sauce agrees.
"Everyone in our house loves this sauce, even our 8-year olds! We fight for the last drop," says Terra M. in a product review. "My daughter loves this so much, I am giving her some for her Birthday," added Lisa in a website product review.
While the brand may not be revealing what's in the Secret Sauce (because, duh!), all this noise has made it hard for people to resist making their own. Now, there are tons of copycat recipes out there — and, these all look like very healthy (and delicious!) versions of that glorious Big Mac sauce. Blogger Whole Kitchen Sink, for instance, makes her secret sauce recipe with Whole30 compliant mayo, no-sugar-added ketchup, and a blend of other spices and ingredients.
Even better news? The Whole30 secret sauce is gluten-free, dairy-free, and soy-free. Bottles start at $7.99 and are available in bulk, too. So if you don't want to make your own, Whole30 anticipates the magic elixir will be back in stock this September.

I recently read an interesting article-survey about teaching with technology in 2018. There's no question about it educators are growing fonder of technology every year. Yes, even iPhones are being accepted as a classroom tool.
The survey showed that educators revealed an overwhelmingly positive attitude toward technology in the classroom and the many positive impacts it has on teaching, learning and professional development.
Below are some of the most interesting numbers from The Journal Survey.
75% of educators thought that technology is making a positive impact on education and 38.37% out of the 75% said technology is hugely impacting education as a whole.
75% of educators said it makes their jobs easier. There was an overwhelming agreement that the use of technology in the classroom had had a positive impact on the effectiveness of their overall teaching.
A large percent of educators (82.92%) said the use of technology in the classroom has positively impacted their ability to teach.
Whether you're integrating technology and digital resources into your classrooms through mobile phones, tablets, laptops, or your school has a computer lab, the consensus is technology is making a positive impact on you and your students.
Educators, if you're not embracing technology, and/or digital resources like MindTap in your classrooms, it might be time to reconsider, the benefits are two-fold.

This second post in the license type series will elaborate on what can be referred to as the corporate license category.
We refer to these licenses as "corporate" because they are usually created by companies as a middle ground between permissive/academic licenses and reciprocal licenses.
Downstream obligations for this category require careful use case analysis but can often be acceptable in a commercial context given proper planning and attention to license restrictions.
From a practical perspective, these licenses tend to take more time to evaluate. They are more extensive in their terms and more exact in their language. However, most in-house counsel and their outside counterparts appreciate the clarity these licenses can bring to a potential project. It is often easier to line up business objectives cleanly without the ambiguity of the simpler academic licenses and the sometimes obtuse language of the principle driven reciprocal options.
Next up, reciprocal license alternatives can be challenging but workable in appropriate circumstances.


Rumors and speculation about the Madonna-Guy Ritchie divorce keeps getting stronger and stronger. Tongues are wagging at Madonna's Central Park West apartment because of the singer's supposedly late night rendezvous with New York Yankee Alex Rodriguez. Doormen say that Rodriguez sneaks out even as late as midnight.
Is it over between Madonna and Ritchie? Reports say that Madonna has consulted with a high-profile lawyer that handled the divorce of Paul McCartney and Prince Charles. Meanwhile, Ritchie sought legal advice from Forsters Law Firm in London.
With the 7-year marriage about to end, the real question is what happens to the $600 million estate (whew!). This may turn out to be the legal battle of the century considering the assets involved between the the two.

Joel Edgerton and Christian Bale in Exodus: Gods and Kings.
Get ready for some more depressing statistics about the lack of diversity in Hollywood. A new USC study has found an "epidemic of invisibility" for women and people of color in the entertainment industry, both onscreen and behind the scenes. The statistics are staggering: In an analysis of the 11,000 speaking parts that appeared in 2014 studio films and live-action scripted TV shows from the 2014–15 season, only one-third were female, and only 28 percent were nonwhite. When female characters did appear, they were more than three times as likely as men to be sexualized. LGBT representation was even worse, with that community making up only 2 percent of all speaking parts. Of those, only seven characters were trans — a minuscule .06 percent, one-fifth as much as real-world estimates.
And these characters are largely being conceived, written, and directed by white men. As the study puts it, "The film industry still functions as a straight, white, boy's club." Women made up only 3 percent of film directors, and 10 percent of film writers. Film directors as a whole were 87 percent white. Despite the popular notion that things are better in TV, the numbers there are hardly reassuring. Women made up less than a third of all TV writers, and less than a quarter of all show creators. When it came to TV directors, the study only analyzed premieres and pilots, but the numbers are disheartening: On broadcast shows, a whopping 90 percent of such directors were white. (Cable and streaming came in at 83 and 89 percent, respectively.) Unsurprisingly, an analysis of Hollywood's corporate structures found that these white men were mostly hired by other men. On the executive level, roughly 80 percent of the boards of directors, executive management teams, and C-suite execs were male.
For the first time, USC also handed out an "inclusivity index" report card for the corporate behemoths that make up the entertainment industry. Each film studio received a failing grade, but television did see some bright spots, as the CW, Viacom (and not just because of BET), Disney, Amazon, and Hulu each received a "fully inclusive" rating for their hiring practices or onscreen portrayals.

it seems to be a problem with the list being populated from firebase because when i switch off the internet connection and then click on the list item the intent just works fine?


Good Morning Rapture Ready Family. Today is another day that can be marked as a milestone in the Rapture Ready Legacy. Yes. The rumors are true and the graphics are real. Rapture Ready Productions has just signed a new artist by the name of GIV. What makes this even more amazing, he is a vocalist.
Again Yes!! A singer! Rapture Ready Has Added To It's Arsenal and let me tell you... You are in for a God ordained, spirit ushering, melodic treat!
Let's Congratulate this brother on his new endeavor with Rapture Ready Productions, his giftings and mostly important the ministry that God has given him. Below are amazing words from his fellow peers and family members. We encourage you to comment share and show "GIV" love below in the comment section.
He is on a different psychological path... he has an old soul and when you put those factors together into artist expression, you get GIV! People are not ready for what he is cooking in his psyche! Point Blank! Being that he is my biological brother, we all came from heavy musical background and we all have traveled our own path in how we wanted to express it. The world can look for eclectic musical melodies with past soul music infused with unorthodox lyrics and delivery style that is not predictable. He is the new wave of different and you should look forward to seeing him stretch your mindset on Christianity and Church as usual. I'm proud of his accomplishments and very anxious to see how Rapture Ready will elevate him and his music! Now I introduce the World to GIV!
GIV! A talent like his does not come around often. His singing ability cannot be touched by many. The trait that impresses me the most is his willingness to serve. He has proven time after time that he is here to do what God has called him to do, and I am truly excited to serve with him.
Jonathan man im stoked you're apart of the team. You bring us a dynamic that is going to push the squad to the next level. I can't wait to see what God is going to do through your ministry bro!
I am super excited and humbled to share in the opportunity to be a brother and a co-laborer. I'm thoroughly impressed by his gifting and anointing. I've watched his willingness to serve. I honestly believe that "GIV" is very important and vital to RRP's future and elevation.
Whether its your passion for God, Music, or Family, Johnathan you always give 100 percent. I have watch you mature and grow over the last few years ive known you. Your drive to really connect with people with your music and media is what really sets you apart from the crowd. Tons of people can sing, but when you sing I can almost feel the touch of Gods hands reaching out to me. You have a gift thats bigger than yourself and God has choosen RRP to be the place where you can grow and cultivate it! We dont take that lightly! Remember this is just the beginining! The best is truly yet to come and I cant wait to see what God does through you next!


Our neighbor turned the big 6-0 today and his wishes for his celebration were to take a group trail ride and have a cookout after. So we all saddled up and took a little over and hour trail ride and grilled some wonderful food. We came home early from our County Fair to celebrate with him. A truly awesome day with 5 hours of fair fun and 4 hours of neighborhood fun!! Happy Birthday to Eric!
That is the man of the house in the lead. Of course my horse decided to trot when she knew I had the reins down and was taking a picture..blurry!!


The Royal Canadian Air Force has announced that the theme of the 2019 CF-18 Hornet Demonstration Team will be celebrating the history of the RCAF and highlighting Canada's role in the NATO alliance. They also announced that the demonstration pilot for the 2019 airshow season will be Captain Brian "Humza" Kilroy from Alberta.
Each year's theme is reflected in a special paint job applied to the primary demonstration aircraft; for 2019, the 70th anniversary of NATO and the 75th anniversary of the D-Day invasion were popular suggestions for the theme. In recent years, themes have honored the 60th anniversary of NORAD, 150 years of Canadian confederation, the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan, and the Battle of Britain.
There have been indications that the 2019 demo paint scheme will be limited to the aircraft's tail fins. Recent designs have covered the entire aircraft but tail-only designs have been done before as well. Regardless of the limitations, we look forward to seeing what the talented paint techs can come up with!
Unfortunately, according to the schedule they released at ICAS the CF-18 team will not be performing anywhere outside of Canada in 2019. In fact, their schedule has been reduced by 40% compared to last year. A later report by the Toronto Star indicates that the reduced schedule is a conscious decision in light of significant personnel shortages in the RCAF, although the wisdom of reducing recruitment efforts during a shortage is questionable. The aircraft are also in poor shape; the team had many high-profile struggles to keep the primary aircraft flying during the 2018 show season and had to skip at least one entire weekend due to mechanical troubles. Less time on the road should reduce wear and tear on both man and machine.
Make sure you check the CF-18 Hornet Demonstration Team's 2019 schedule to see if they'll be anywhere near you!
