Of horses and history
Rob Wangberg
By Howard Hardee
PHOTO Courtesy of Rob Wangberg
Rob Wangberg makes a living as a field representative for Rental Guys and Bobcat of Chico, but about a dozen times a year he finds himself traipsing through the back country of Northern California as part of a "living history" re-creation of the Sacramento Rangers, a cavalry regiment that patrolled Butte County and the Sacramento Valley for the Union during the Civil War. Riding horseback and in full uniform, the company treads the same ground the original outfit covered, using the same equipment and eating the same food as would have been available in the 1860s. For the 47-year-old Wangberg, the re-creation combines two of his passions—horses and history. For more information on the cavalry, visit www.californiacavalry.us.
Who were the Sacramento Rangers?
The company formed under President Lincoln's second call for volunteers in August of 1861. Their mission was to do whatever was ordered of them by the War Department in the Pacific. Their company stayed in California for the entire duration of the war, helping local law officials go after and arrest Confederate sympathizers. One time they went to the town of Snelling and arrested the newspaper editor for publishing untold things about the Union.
Where and how far do you ride?
We go out and do maybe two or three nights, and then upwards of a week. We patrol anywhere where you're still allowed to ride horses on the ground where the original Sacramento Rangers patrolled. A good day's ride will be about 10 miles, so we're not endurance riders by any stretch of the imagination, but once you get the full gear on it's still a pretty good ride.
What kinds of people are attracted to the club?
They have to be someone who owns a horse and is interested in history. A lot of people are skeptical about the whole thing, until you get them to come out and see how fun it is.
How do you make sure it is an authentic experience?
We go as far as to repackage the food we bring so there is no plastic or tinfoil out on the trail with us and we try to get as close to period food as possible. Probably the thing that gets the most attention, particularly with other horse riders, are the saddles. We use McLellan military saddles. There's no padding on them, but they were designed so you can ride in them for long periods and they'll still be fairly comfortable. Riding 50 or 60 miles a day wasn't uncommon.

'Flat, fast, flexible' – how the world of work went virtual
by Jonathan Bacon
New models are sweeping away the structures and hierarchies that have underpinned working lives for centuries.
As a Twitter follower of Amelia Torode, co-founder of creative 'operating system' The Fawnbrake Collective, it was interesting to observe one of her retweets the other day. Written by Eric Jorgenson, a director at tradespeople marketplace Zaarly, the tweet outlines his view of 'Old Status Symbols' versus 'New Status Symbols'.
In the former category, Jorgenson lists 'luxury goods', 'position of authority', 'busy-ness' and 'endorsed by establishment'. In the latter category of new status symbols he cites things like 'position of influence', 'flexible schedule', 'creative output' and 'self-actualisation'.
It's not an exhaustive breakdown by any means, but it's a neat take on the changing priorities that are reshaping the world of work. In a digitised, atomised world where traditional power structures are starting to crumble, Jorgenson identifies a fundamental shift in how people perceive their own personal fulfilment and life goals.
Taken together, his lists suggest that climbing the career ladder in a traditional 9-to-5 job is becoming less and less attractive to many workers. Instead, people increasingly want the flexibility to realise their ambitions on their own terms.
Old Status Symbols:
– Luxury goods
– Position of authority
– Busy-ness
– Endorsed by establishment
New Status Symbols:
– Position of influence
– Flexible schedule
– Creative Output
– Self-actualization
– Independent + Anti-fragile
— Eric Jorgenson 🛠📈 (@EricJorgenson) May 8, 2018
No wonder the tweet caught Torode's attention. The Fawnbrake Collective defines itself as an operating system precisely because it has stripped away all traditional business structures. Its core services are brand strategy and experience design – the kind of specialisms provided by regular marketing agencies – but Fawnbrake sets itself apart by having no company HQ and no internal bureaucracy and processes. It doesn't even use internal email.
Instead, Fawnbrake exists as a fluid community of like-minded creatives, strategists and thinkers. These people sign up with their credentials and are then invited to participate in real world events such as strategy hackathons for not-for-profit organisations, or social gatherings in London and beyond.
The idea is to get a feel for people's skills and personalities so that when a project brief comes through from a business, the right teams can assemble quickly and efficiently. All communications for managing Fawnbrake projects take place on the live business messaging platform Slack.
'Flat, fast, flexible' is the ethos, reflecting the idea that both the client and the worker can benefit from removing traditional structures and hierarchies. Having officially launched last September, the collective has begun rolling out its model with projects for several brands including peer-to-peer car rental business Hiyacar. This included developing a brand strategy, logo design and advertising materials for the startup.
Sera Miller (left) and Amelia Torode, founders of The Fawnbrake Collective
Torode, who had a long career working in advertising agencies before setting up Fawnbrake with her co-founder Sera Miller, believes businesses are crying out for more direct access to creative ideas in a way that is both faster and cheaper than the standard agency model. At the same time, more and more creative people are seeking the kind of freedom and flexibility in their working lives that the Fawnbrake model offers.
"The idea that companies own talent and therefore that talent needs to fit into a company's structure just doesn't work in the same way it used to," says Torode. "That's why we've borrowed language from the world of software to talk about being an operating system – it's a total redesign of working structures."
The growing demand for flexibility and new ways of achieving professional fulfilment is giving rise to a wide range of new models. Just this week, the Guardian shone a spotlight on Patreon, an online membership platform that provides artists and creators with the tools to run subscription content services for generating revenue from subscribers or 'patrons'. This year the platform is set to pay out "well over $300m" to its creators, twice what it distributed in 2017.
Such a service means that independent musicians need not depend on the measly revenue they derive from streaming services or YouTube – they're able to seek out their own paying audiences. Similarly freelance writers don't have to rely on the whims of a single editor to get their work published and paid for. It's another way of freeing up creativity, while putting power firmly in the hands of the creative.
"The idea that companies own talent and therefore that talent needs to fit into a company's structure just doesn't work in the same way it used to"
Amelia Torode, The Fawnbrake Collective
In the case of Fawnbrake's model, Torode says she's been overwhelmed by the sheer volume of people signing up to get involved – many of whom previously worked in traditional advertising agencies. To thrive in Fawnbrake's flat structure, these people must work collaboratively with the rest of their project team, rather than seeking to impose the kind of thinking they may have been used to in the past.
"It's a case of leaving your title at the door," says Torode. "We haven't had anyone pull rank and say that because I've got this level of experience, I should take the lead on this or that. That's because of the type of people that are drawn to our model – they're not driven by ego."
In other words, as titles and positions of authority become less important, flexible schedules, creative output and positions of influence become the new priorities. The likes of Jorgenson and Torode certainly seem to be onto something when it comes to understanding, and reimagining, what personal and professional fulfilment can truly mean.

A Madison County jury today awarded a Huntsville man 8.25 million dollars in damages, -said- by court officials to be the largest amount ever awarded by a jury here- after he contracted leukemia while working for a hazardous waste cleanup company here. Bryan Ray Stewart, 24, sued Arzie Grimes and Russell Grimes, his supervisors at ATEC, after he worked there a year cleaning gasoline tanks being dug up from gas stations around the city, said Allen Brinkley, one of the Stewart's attorneys.
Stewart's attorneys argued that Grimesses knew that inhaling the gas vapors could cause lukemia, but the men did not caution Stewart or provide him with a mask, Brinkley said. Attorneys for the defendants could not be reached by press-time today. The trial lasted three weeks and the jury took 1 ½ days before rendering the verdict. Stewart's condition is guarded, his attorney said.


Some modern sculptures are just as great as the ones that were created during ancient times. They break the stereotypes, trick gravity, and inspire us to do great things. The artists who create these masterpieces are amazing because they manage to turn stubborn materials into art. And looking at their creations brings pure joy.
Bright Side has collected some photos of sculptures from all over the world that show how rich the human imagination can be.

LED lighting strips are one of the most versatile, cost effective and energy-efficient forms of lighting available. Fitting a row of individual lights one by one can be difficult and time-consuming, whereas these self-adhesive flexible strips of LED lights can be installed anywhere within minutes. They cost a fraction of the price to run, emit hardly any heat and are kind to the environment. What's more, they look great.
Check out the range of LED strip lights at Arrow. They come in 5 meter strips with a choice of colours – warm white, blue, green and red. Many of the LED strips are IP rated, so they can even go outdoors. Some, like the Arrow 24v 5m LED Strip, are fully waterproof so you can submerge them within garden water features or swimming pools for a truly spectacular lighting effect.
This lighting option is so flexible that you can let your imagination run riot. LED strips can be cut to precisely the right length so they're a great lighting solution for curved niches and awkward corners.
Indoors you can put them along bookshelves, display shelves or below kitchen cabinets. If you're having a party, they're a great way of adding atmosphere when set round doors, ceilings and walls. Outdoors, LED lighting strips can be used to create overhead lighting on the underside of porches or gutters.
For an energy-saving, low cost and uniquely flexible lighting solution, browse through the range of LED light strips at Arrow Electrical.

Q: build and run an RNN regression model below is an example of an RNN regression model with two layers.

*

*layer 1 uses an LSTM module with 5 hidden units.

*layer 2 uses a fully connected module with one unit

    def forward(self, x, h_state):
        r_out, hidden_state = self.rnn(x, h_state)

        hidden_size = hidden_state[-1].size(-1)
        r_out = r_out.view(-1, self.num_directions, hidden_size)

    else:
        print('epoch {}, loss {}'.format(epoch, loss.item()))
    history.append(loss.item())

I have so many questions that I don't understand about this code
some general questions:

*

*how does this code work? which are the two layers?

*what does the for loop do? how does it work?
some specific questions:

*

*what does "super(RNN, self)._init_()" doing here

*what does "self.num_directions = bidirection + 1"

*
r_out, hidden_state = self.rnn(x, h_state)

*

*does this code mean passing in the data after all the parameter has been passed in?

*
optimiser = torch.optim.Adam(rnn.parameters(), lr=learning_rate)

*

*is this the way of optimization for RNN?

*can someone explain to me what is the whole IF part does in the for loop?
sorry for having so many questions. there aren't many people around me that could explain this to me, and I am also a beginner at this.
if you could help me with it I will be really appreciated it!

Having just launched the new 500, Fiat is considering a number of derivatives to further enhance the range.
A hot 148bhp Abarth 500 has already been confirmed, as has a cabriolet version, but the company is also considering an SUV crossover and a station wagon to compete directly with the Mini Clubman. The SUV would use a combination of the station wagon's body and the Fiat Panda's four-wheel drive system.
Both possibilities would be based on a longer version of the 500's wheel base, but this would need to be cost effective for Fiat to develop before either could go ahead.

"Beachball" is a song by German production team Nalin & Kane, released in June 1997 as a single. It was number-one for four weeks on the Canadian RPM Dance/Urban chart and reached number two in Spain, number 10 in Germany and number 19 in Switzerland. The song also reached the top 40 in Austria, Belgium, Germany, Ireland, Italy and the Netherlands.

A Tall Paul remix of the song reached number seven in Ireland and number 17 in the United Kingdom in October 1998.

Critical reception
Pan-European magazine Music & Media wrote, "Bouncing onto the airwaves comes a summery helping of minimalistic trance. This German production duo have come up with a sparsely arranged and yet remarkably tuneful number. With the proper support—and the proverbial little bit of luck—Messrs Nalin and Kane should be able to emulate the massive chart success they enjoyed in their homeland a couple of months ago. In spite of their length—which undoubtedly renders them less than suitable for mainstream radio play—the selection of remixes on offer is also well worthy of further investigation."

Chris Finan from Music Weeks RM Dance Update gave it four out of five, commenting, "German duo Nalin & Kane get a run of only 2,000 copies on this release from Hooj. Chill-out trance is a simple guide to this tune—it has moody electro influences but with a steady beat which gives this an amazing flexibility as to where and when it can be played. Sometimes minimal, sometimes drifty but always mesmerising in its four mixes. The Seaside mix works best, though, featuring the greater of the hooks and probably appealing more to the mainstream than the others. Shame it's limited really."

Ekiti varsity signs MoU for construction of 6,000 hostels
January 9, 2020 Raphael Adeyanju News 0
Fayemi
Ekiti State University, Ado Ekiti (EKSU) is set to become residential as the school management and two estate management firms Wednesday signed a memorandum of understanding for the construction of a 6,000-bed hostel.
The MoU also includes the construction of residential quarters for the vice chancellor and some top officials of the varsity, a move which is aimed at deepening students-staff relationship.
The state governor, Dr Kayode Fayemi, commended the university management for the initiative which he described as a "game changer" for the university in view of its dream to rank among the best in Africa.
Dr Fayemi who stated that the project would prevent further encroachment on the university's land adding that the proposed hostel accommodation would also meet the yearnings of students who have at various fora complained about the high cost of rent in the varsity community.
The governor who assured of support for the success of the project said he was aware that the university management would not manage the hostel accommodation but would regulate the activities of the investors who are putting up the structure in the overall interest of the students.
The project is scheduled for completion before the end of the year.

National Museum of the Revolution

"Madero has awakened this tiger,
let's see if he can tame it."
-Porfirio Diaz
The National Museum of the Revolution is far less visited than the monument above it. But then, the Mexican Revolution is also one of those historical themes that many visitors will want to gloss over.
The Revolution might seem too complicated, too multi-faceted, too recent. But it's still among the strongest factors affecting life and thought in the capital and in the country beyond.
In fact, a basic timeline is one quick way to understand the timeline of events. But visitors shouldn't assume that this period of Mexican history is too heavy or overly complicated. The museum presents the Revolutionary period, vital as it is to understanding present day Mexico, in a format that makes a lot of things much clearer.
The National Museum of the Revolution was opened underneath the Monument to the Revolution in 1986. The period covered in the museum begins in 1857 with the constitution of that year and ends in 1920 with the Presidency of Venustiano Carranza.
From within the Museum, guests can appreciate some of the construction stages of what was to be the Legislative Palace and ended up being the Monument. A permanent exhibition includes more than 400 artifacts related to the Reformation through the Revolutionary periods.
The consolidation of the Mexican State after Independence
The Porfiriato period
The Democratic Revolution and the election of Madero in 1910
The Civil War and the resulting chaos
The Constitution of 1917
Any trip to the Monument to the Revolution can be that much more fulfilling with a quick trip into the museum. And remember, admission to the National Museum of the Revolution is free every Sunday.

India Legal show: Govt hospitals suffer from administrative negligence, not medical negligence, say panellists
The latest edition of the India Legal show discussed the present medical negligence scenario in India and who should be held responsible in cases such as the one which happened at BRD medical college (Gorakhpur) in which several children died due to paucity of oxygen.
The show was anchored by APN's Editor-in-Chief, Rajshri Rai. The show's panellists included:
Dr Hifazat Siddiqui, Former Professor, Pharmacology Department, AIIMS
Dr KK Aggarwal, President, Indian Medical Association
Dr Narendra Singh, Member, Indian Medical Association
Justice AN Mittal, Chairman, UP Law Commission
Vijay Hansariya, Senior Advocate, Supreme Court
Justice Shailendra Saxena, ex Judge, Allahabad High Court
Rai started the debate by asking Saxena. "Shouldn't this BRD Medical college incident be seen as an act of medical negligence?" asked Rai.
Saxena replied: "Only doctors aren't responsible for this problem, but the administration too is, because the doctors work in a very watertight situation. They never get to work independently. The medicines that they prescribe are the ones that would be available in the hospital. There is very little discretion that they can exercise."
Rai then posed a question to Hansariya as how he defines medical negligence. Hansariya stated: "Medical negligence means you are not taking care of the patient that should be done normally. Cases of medical negligence include ones where you had to operate the left part but you operated the right or when scissors or cotton is left behind in the patient's body after operation."
Hansariya continued: "Since patients deal with doctors directly therefore they hold the doctors responsible, but I think doctors do their best. But when means are unavailable then doctors cannot help it as happened in the Gorakhpur case where the doctors couldn't help the patients as they were out of cylinders. As per the law the court says that the hospital is primarily responsible for cases of medical negligence."
Siddiqui was asked if the hospitals lack facilities, how doctors can be held responsible. Siddiqui put it succinctly: "We have to understand that the doctors who are working there are working under what conditions. Until and unless gross negligence happens, you cannot put blame on the doctors. You have to ask what the administration is doing. When vaccination is available for encephalitis then why don't we opt for mass vaccination? It is definitely the work of the administration, to create the fund, to conduct vaccination, to stop overcrowding, sanitation is to be taken care by them and they have to ensure that there is proper system for procurement and payment."
Singh agreed with Siddiqui and said that Gorakhpur incident should be adjudged as administrative negligence. He elaborated: "Negligence should be divided into two parts — medical and administrative negligence. Most of the times it is administrative negligence such as in this case too where the oxygen cylinders and medicines were unavailable — it is not medical negligence.
"All over the country where there is government setup the condition is the same. Somebody is not getting paid for the medicines or the cylinders and under public private partnership the doctors are not being paid. When you won't pay money definitely there will come a time when the person will not be able to deliver. So wherever there is administrative negligence the government is responsible. Whenever there is enquiry it should be searched why people aren't being paid for months. Is there a shortage of funds and if there are funds then why isn't properly allocated."
Here are some bytes of the panellists:

Outdoor Agrees to KSE Acquisition
Deal Expected to Close in Second Quarter
Outdoor Channel said Wednesday that it has entered into definitive merger agreement with Kroenke Sports & Entertainment for $8.75 per share in cash, a deal that values the network at about $227 million.
"Our board of directors has unanimously determined that the proposed all-cash merger with KSE offers superior value for our stockholders," said Outdoor Channel CEO Tom Hornish, in a statement. "We are pleased that Kroenke Sports & Entertainment has agreed to purchase Outdoor Channel."
The KSE offer trumped an earlier $208 million agreement the company had reached with InterMedia Partners, parent of the rival Sportsman Channel back in November. KSE made its unsolicited bid for the channel on Feb. 27, and on March 8 Outdoor said the all-cash deal was superior to InterMedia's offer of $8 per share in cash and stock in the newly formed company.
Outdoor had given InterMedia four business days (until March 12) to put forth a better proposal, but apparently that did not come. As a result, Outdoor paid InterMedia a $6.5 million break-up fee.
"Following the expiration of this four business-day period, the Outdoor Channel board determined that the KSE proposal continued to constitute a superior proposal and, as a result, immediately prior to entering into the KSE Agreement, Outdoor Channel terminated the InterMedia Agreement," Outdoor said in a statement.
The transaction, which is expected to be completed in the second quarter, is subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including the receipt of requisite regulatory approvals and adoption of the KSE Agreement by Outdoor Channel's stockholders. Outdoor Channel's largest stockholders, Perry T. Massie, Thomas H. Massie and their affiliated entities and Outdoor Channel's directors and executive officers, who currently represent a combined ownership of approximately 41% of the Company, each have agreed to vote in favor of the transaction, subject to certain exceptions.
The special meeting of stockholders of Outdoor Channel to adopt the InterMedia Agreement, which was originally scheduled for March 13, and which the Company announced it intended to adjourn to March 22, 2013, has been cancelled.
Lazard is serving as exclusive financial advisorto Outdoor Channel in connection with the transaction. Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, P.C. is legal advisor to Outdoor Channel in connection with the transaction. Allen & Company LLC is serving as exclusive financial advisor to KSE in connection with the transaction. Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz is legal advisor to KSE in connection with the transaction.

Dow Jones falls 582 points on first day of all-electronic trading for NYSE

March 23 (UPI) -- The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 582 points on Monday after a coronavirus stimulus package stalled in Congress, as the New York Stock Exchange conducted its first day of electronic-only trading due to the virus.
The Dow closed down 3.04 percent on Monday, while the S&P 500 slid 2.93 percent and the Nasdaq Composite fell 0.27 percent after Senate Democrats for a second time voted against advancing a more-than $1 trillion stimulus package aimed at helping individuals and businesses weather the economic effects of the COVID-19 outbreak.
Stocks fell despite the Federal Reserve permitting unlimited buying of Treasury bonds and mortgage-backed securities, saying "aggressive efforts" must be taken to "limit the losses to jobs and incomes.
U.S. oil prices also fell after plummeting 30 percent last week as WTI crude fell 1 percent at $22.36 and Brent crude fell 4.5 percent.
RELATED Philadelphia court orders COVID-19 testing, treatment for death row inmate
For the first time in history on Wall Street, there wasn't any waving or shouting or bustling among traders on the NYSE floor at the opening bell Monday.
Instead, things were mostly quiet as stockbrokers began their first day of electronic trading.
As a result of the global coronavirus outbreak, the exchange decided to end physical trading on the floor -- an activity that usually involves large gatherings there. Traders and managers will begin working remotely until further notice.
RELATED Pence, wife test negative for novel coronavirus, according to spokeswoman
The closure affects two main areas in New York City and one in Northern California -- the equities trading floor and American Options trading floor in Manhattan, and the Arca Options trading floor in San Francisco.
Monday's move to telecommuting was the first time the stock exchange closed the trading floor since it began operating at its current location in 1903. The floor has closed before, during times of war and severe weather, but the stock markets themselves were also closed for business on those occasions.
NYSE President Stacey Cunningham made the decision last week to close the trading floor after two workers tested positive for the coronavirus disease.

"NYSE trading floors provide unique value to issuers and investors, but our markets are fully capable of operating in an all-electronic fashion," she said. "And we will proceed in that manner until we can reopen our trading floors to our members.
"While we are taking [this] precautionary step ... we continue to firmly believe the markets should remain open and accessible to investors. All NYSE markets will continue to operate under normal trading hours despite the closure of the trading floors."
The three major U.S. indices that trade at the NYSE have seen wild, virus-related volatility in recent weeks. The Dow Jones Industrial Average, which has been on a steady upswing for years, has erased all of the gains it's made since President Donald Trump took office -- one of the primary pillars of his re-election campaign.
The Securities and Exchange Commission published rules over the weekend to allow the NYSE to move to electronic trading.
"The nation's capital markets have functioned well as market participants have implemented their business continuity plans," it said. "NYSE will move to fully electronic trading on Monday. Normal market hours will apply."
The emergency circuit breakers that cut power to trading infrastructure, installed after the "Black Monday" crash in 1987 to halt trading if losses become too steep, will continue to operate normally, officials said.
NYSE Group Chief Operating Officer Michael Blaugrund said the market's resilience has been impressive, but operating remotely has been frustrating.
"To be in market conditions that are this extraordinary and dealing with strategic questions that are this significant and having to do it from a distance is maddening," he said.
Analyst Tim Anderson of Equity Market Strategist at TJM Investments said he expects the switch will "kill the business" of some floor brokers.
"Many portfolio managers use price and volume information they get directly from the trading floor to help 'right size' buy and sell orders," he said.
The SEC's rule changes are temporary. They will last until May 15 -- unless the floor can reopen sooner.
Amid the wild trading days on Wall Street recently, there have been some calls to close the markets. Cunningham and leaders of the Nasdaq and global markets firm CME have opposed the idea.
The move to remote trading is not related to an order Friday by New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo for all nonessential workers to remain home as a measure to prevent the spread of the coronavirus, as financial services workers are formally considered "essential" by the state of New York. Nonetheless, the reason for Cunningham's and Cuomo's decisions is the same.
"The NYSE has robust, regularly tested contingency plans in place to initiate fully electronic trading on its exchanges," the NYSE said in a statement. "However, floor broker order types will be unavailable. On the NYSE's options markets, electronic trading will continue normally but open-outcry trading will be suspended with the closure of the options trading floors.
"The decision to temporarily close the trading floors represents a precautionary step to protect the health and well-being of employees and the floor community in response to COVID-19."

LandScope provides an integrated geophysical survey service with emphasis on campaign design so that your project benefits from an appropriate technical approach.
Multi-sensor data sets can be compared, manipulated and 3D visualised during the post-processing stage to ensure that maximum value is derived from your data. We specialise in the majority of geophysical survey techniques including resistivity, magnetics, ground penetrating radar (GPR), micro-gravity and electro-magnetics.
Whereas traditional geophysical surveys have relied on time consuming gridding and manual referencing, our emphasis on the integration of real-time positioning to geophysical acquisition allows LandScope to acquire accurately geo-referenced data within a greatly reduced timeframe. In addition to this LandScope has been at the forefront of further increasing efficiency by introducing an integrated navigation and acquisition system. This enables multiple sensors to record coordinated data simultaneously, dramatically reducing time spent in the field.
Most recently, we have made the addition of Mobile Radar to our service portfolio – allowing for the rapid and efficient acquisition of multiple frequency GPR data over large survey areas.
LandScope selects geophysical survey methods based on the physical properties of the target and its potential contrast with other subsurface materials. Suitable geophysical methods are then deployed in order to exploit variations in physical properties in order to locate and position the desired target.

Why Parenting Kids Age 4 And Under Is A Kind Of Madness – But Here's 7 Glimpses Of Hope To Keep You Sane.
Permission to get shockingly real about parenting small kids?
It's hard. Much harder than you can imagine. Much, much harder. A few months ago a friend of mine who is a professional therapist said, 'A family with a kid under the age of 3 is in crisis mode.' At first I thought that was a bit negative. Upon reflection, I conclude they're understating it….


His handshake was formal his expression serious, meeting Buliba for the first time wearing a plain cream tailored shirt and charcoal pants. It didn't seem that he was one to launch into smiles and laughter so easily yet further into our interview his face softened, a big smile peeked through his eyes. As soon as he went on to tell his journey as a writer of fiction, which began since he was in form 1, penning stories at the back of his exercise books for his friends to read.
Buliba Magambo is among 10 young Tanzania writers, who were shortlisted in last year's short story competition 'Andika na Soma Round 3'. He was in form VI at Benjamin William Mkapa Sec School, when he received the news of being selected in the top ten. Currently he is studying Mass Communications at Dar es Salaam University. 'Andika na Soma' calls for short story entries in Kiswahili from secondary school students all over Tanzania. Now running in its fourth year (2017), it is organised by E&D Readership and Development Agency and funded by Danida.
For the first time in its three annual rounds 'Andika na Soma' has published a chapbook, comprising of 10 short stories from its 7 shortlisted writers of last year's round, as well 3 others short stories from selected contestants of the same year.
The official launch of the book took place at Soma Book Cafe located in Regent Estate, Mikocheni, Dar es Salaam on June 24, 2017. With special guest Laila Ally Nanji being present, who was one of the Andika na Soma competition Round 4 judges; an Asst Lecturer at the University of Dar es Salaam in Kiswahili & Kiswahili Literature.
nife if you don't use it, it becomes blunt…" Mama Demere Kitunga, the Executive Director of Soma. Giving a word of encouragement to the young writers at the launch of their chapbook, detailing the processes of the birthing a book, how the launch of the same is an auspicious event.
Above is an excerpt from the chapbook, from the short story titled 'A gift for Mother' by Maria Makasi. She completed high school last year, where through her involvement in a book club 'Mzalendo', she got wind of Andika's call for submissions. Currently she's a member of TYVA-Tanzania Youth Vision Association, where she's a board member in their TCB-'training & capacity building' program. She is also working on the pilot of a TV program to be aired at StarTV, that will assist secondary students to learn Science using music.
Listening to her journey in penning this short story, which involved her learning to use the computer for the first time. Where she lost her work twice a result of power cuts and her rookie experience with PC's. It was to glimpse a courageous young woman, who despite being a science student going through form six finals preparations, with little experience in writing literature. Went on to scoop the second prize in last years 'Andika na Soma' competition, which had her taking 300,000Tshs cash and books to the same value.
As this chapbook was allotted limited funding due to the finite sponsorship of this competition. It will be given to each of the writer's secondary schools for their libraries, a copy for each to the contributing writers. The remaining few copies will be retained for public reading at Soma Book Cafe. Maria & Buliba attested how 'the written word lives on'. As we recently marked day of the African child, its commendable how these young writers have gone on to tell vivid stories of their landscape that are living on.
The tales in this chapbook explore pertinent issues of our time like Buliba's story 'Timbwili la Inspekta Kajigu', which looks at drugs & leadership. Also the case for family bonds their myriad facades in our society, themes of democracy, youth employment, rural urban migration & corruption dominate the book. Scoring the fact that youths do have an interest in our geo-political and cultural edicts and thus deserve a platform to air their views more often.
For this year the entries for 'Andika na Soma' whose theme was 'utandawazi'-globalisation are closed, 485 short stories were submitted from 32 Secondary schools all over the country. Winners were selected and invited for training and given prizes in a ceremony that was officiated by Danish ambassador, his excellency Einar Hebogård Jensen .


ONE reason American officials give for Barack Obama's reluctant decision to arm Syria's rebels is that it will bolster and unify the ranks of the more moderate fighters among those battling President Bashar Assad. The administration says it plans to funnel arms through Selim Idriss, a defected general who heads the political opposition's Supreme Military Council. Yet choosing who gets what and trying to meld the fractious bunch into a coherent body to receive the weaponry will be difficult. For one thing, 27 months into the war, the rebels have so many supply lines that few outsiders know precisely who is at the receiving end (see map).
The main conduit runs from Turkey into northern Syria, where the rebels control swathes of land, including all the main border crossings. Large shipments of arms come mainly from Qatar, which flies in weapons from Libya, an ally that was plentifully supplied by the Qataris during the uprising two years ago against Muammar Qaddafi. Turkish intelligence agents accompany the weapons into liberated parts of Syria, to be handed over to chosen groups, such as Liwa al-Tawheed, a large one active around Aleppo. The arms are distributed down the chain.
Rebel commanders say Turkey's fairly open-door policy also lets arms provided by private donors be smuggled in. Some come from Libyan revolutionaries, others from rich Salafist sheikhs in the Gulf. A black market functions energetically, too. That may explain some of the sophisticated anti-tank missiles seen in rebel hands. The New York Times has reported that Qatar has supplied some man-portable air defence systems (MANPADS), despite American pleas that they should not.
The American government has used the northern route from Turkey to send in food, telephones and other non-lethal supplies. Yet, once it begins to send the lethal stuff, it is more likely to funnel most of it through the rebels' second main supply route, into southern Syria from Jordan.
Last year the Saudis, worried by what they saw as the Qataris' reckless taste for extreme Islamist rebels, moved their base there from Turkey. With CIA help, the Saudis have sent batches of arms to fighters in the south who have yet to make as much headway as those in the north. Such weapons, including a large shipment bought in Croatia at the end of last year, have gone through the rebels' military council in the southern province of Deraa, to be sent on to umbrella groups such as Liwa al-Islam.
Jordan keeps as tight a control over its border as it can, because it is petrified of blowback by Islamist fighters who might threaten its own regime. Rebel commanders say arms supplies going into southern Syria from Jordan are minor compared with those from the north.
It is unclear how much suppliers in the north and south co-ordinate with each other. Hugh Griffiths of the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, a think-tank, notes a recent increase in Jordanian aircraft flying from Jordan to Turkey. The Saudis still send some arms in from the north.
Smaller channels also operate elsewhere. Lebanon's former head of intelligence, Wissam Hassan, who was assassinated in Beirut in October, probably by Syrian agents, is believed to have sent at least one shipment of arms to rebels via Lebanon, but such routes are generally limited to smugglers rather than state providers. Rebels say that supplies from Iraq are also limited, though an activist from Deir ez-Zor, Syria's biggest city near the border with Iraq, says that some supplies coming in that way are destined for rebel jihadists.
For the Americans, arming the rebels from the south may be most practical, as the rebel-controlled area in southern Syria is smaller, there are fewer jihadists there, and Jordanian and Israeli intelligence provide good maps of the area. America already has 700 troops in Jordan, along with Patriot missiles and F-16 fighter jets.
But different routes give different results. Arming rebels in the north would help achieve some of America's stated political aims. Rebels control a large area there, allowing leaders such as Colonel Abdul Jabbar Akaidi, the head of Aleppo's military council, to operate inside the country. The Syrian National Coalition, the opposition's main political umbrella, has suggested setting up an administration in that area, if it could be better protected from attacks by forces of the regime.
Some say America should work from both sides, as well as send more sophisticated weapons, if Mr Obama's decision to arm the rebels is to have a real effect. Much will also depend on the degree to which Americans can directly oversee the flow of supplies. During the 1980s, when America armed the mujahideen in Afghanistan, only about 50 CIA agents monitored the supply of weapons funded by Saudis and delivered by Pakistani security people. It will be equally hard, in Syria, to ensure that supplies do not seep through to groups such as Jabhat al-Nusra that are linked to al-Qaeda.

I am creating a program that uses a numerator and denominator the uses buttons to display integer and double value. The program works but it does not show decimals. It usually goes to the closest whole number. Basically what I need is help with getting decimals to show up in the output. http://imgur.com/WdnxgrH

A: You are explicitly declaring your output variable as int.
Return a double value, or for better precision, a BigDecimal.
Example
BigDecimal output = new BigDecimal(num)
    .divide(new BigDecimal(d), BigDecimal.ROUND_HALF_UP);

Tuesday Morning Scoop: 'Total Witch Hunt'
Morning Scoop
Plus, a sad ending to a University of Texas saga
Welcome to the Morning Scoop for Tuesday, April 10. There is anger in the West Wing over something the FBI did (what a surprise), but he didn't fire anyone last week. And Mark Zuckerberg proves he owns a tie, which is a good look when you're saying sorry over and over again.

President Trump is Furious That the FBI Raided His Lawyer's Office

The FBI served a warrant on the president's lawyer's office yesterday, seizing privileged communications between Donald Trump and Michael D. Cohen, including documents connected to the $130,000 paid to adult film star Stormy Daniels over her alleged affair with the president.
The Washington Post reports, "Cohen is Trump's virtual vault — the keeper of his secrets, from his business deals to his personal affairs — and the executor of his wishes."
The raid infuriated Trump and has renewed speculation that the president will move to fire special counsel Robert Mueller, who reportedly had a hand in the raid, though it was not believed to be directly related to the Russia investigation.
"It's a disgraceful situation. It's a total witch hunt," Trump said, according to NPR. "When I saw this, when I heard about it, that is a whole new level of unfairness."
Danielle Germain has more details in her report for CMN.
Mr. Zuckerberg Goes to Washington
Mark Zuckerberg met behind closed doors yesterday with elected officials in Washington, giving a hint of the public apology he is expected to deliver today over the massive data breach connected to Cambridge Analytica. Facebook began alerting users yesterday if their personal data was compromised.
This is the first time the former Harvard student has appeared before Congress. Zuckerberg will testify before a joint hearing of the Senate Judiciary and Commerce Committees today and be grilled by a House panel tomorrow.
And yes, he's wearing a suit, not flip flops and a hoodie.
UT Professor Who Pleaded Guilty to Assault Found Dead
Richard Morrisett, a professor at The University of Texas at Austin was found dead in his home on Thursday. His death coincided with the university's announcement of taking a tougher stance on employee misconduct.
This change in policy was created due to controversy over Morrisett being able to stay on staff despite pleading guilty to assaulting his girlfriend in 2016. UT received backlash for determining that the case wouldn't affect Morrisett's abilities as an employee, and will have decided to better consider the implications of faculty criminal records on their employment.

Q: Is there a reason for potentiometers to be the moving part on a rotation sensor (joystick)? I recently dug up an old joystick (Trust Predator) to see if my old flight simulator install would still work.
The joystick however didn't work at all satisfactory (erratic behaviour and drifting) so I took it apart to see if there were any bad connections. And there were... a lot. The reason is that all rotation sensors (which are just simple potentiometers) are located, I thought rather oddly: the 'base' was the part that moved, while the 'knobs' were fixed. As a consequence, the connecting cables move on every joystick movement, and without exception all of them were in a bad shape (especially the solder connections, but also broken insulation etc).
Why would the sensors be placed this way? Is it just bad design (Trust is a budget brand, after all), or is there a good reason why potentiometers used as rotation sensors are positioned this way? Is this design common in other applications?

A: There is a reason for this when the joystick has more than one axis. In that case the "inner" axis potentiometer has to be mounted on the "outer" one. Rather than that it is a purely mechanical design consideration.

She Played Carmela on "The Sopranos." See Edie Falco Now at 58.
The Emmy-winning actor is so much more than Mrs. Soprano.
By Joel Cunningham
Edie Falco has been a working actor for decades, and though she's best known for playing Carmela Soprano, the morally conflicted wife of a mob boss, in HBO's landmark drama series The Sopranos, her career since has covered a lot more ground—and earned her even greater critical praise. In fact, years after that show ended, she won an Emmy and a Golden Globe and was nominated for a Tony Award, all in the same year.
Keep reading to find out where the actor's career has taken her in recent years and what she's doing now at age 58.

She's been working steadily on TV for many years.

Born on Long Island to parents who were both involved in the arts (her father was a jazz drummer and her mother, an actor), Falco studied acting in college and later moved to New York City to begin her career. She appeared in films including The Unbelievable Truth and Bullets Over Broadway and on TV shows including the soap opera Loving, Law & Order, and Homicide before landing a recurring role on the HBO prison drama Oz, doing 23 episodes between 1997 and 2000.
It was during that time that creator David Chase cast her as Carmela Soprano, partner and sometimes foil to James Gandolfini's troubled mob boss, Tony Soprano. "She was just so good," Chase said, as quoted in the book The Soprano Sessions. "There couldn't have been anybody else."ae0fcc31ae342fd3a1346ebb1f342fcb
After The Sopranos ended in 2007, Falco guest starred on 30 Rock and Will & Grace before taking on her next career-defining role: New York City E.R. nurse Jackie Peyton on Showtime's Nurse Jackie. The show lasted six seasons and earned the star numerous accolades, including, in 2011, an Emmy and a Golden Globe for Best Actress.
Since Nurse Jackie ended in 2015, Falco has appeared in the Law & Order spinoff True Crime, which focused on the Menendez murders; and the CBS crime drama Tommy, which premiered in 2020 and lasted one season.
She also has a movie career.
SGranitz/WireImage
Though best known for her work on television, Falco is a busy film actor too. After leaving The Sopranos, she appeared in the award-winning independent film 3 Backyards, the satire Gods Behaving Badly, the dark comedy The Comedian with Robert De Niro, and the 2018 Netflix film The Land of Steady Habits.
Falco admits she prefers acting on television to appearing in films. "There are definitely advantages from an acting standpoint about playing the same character over and over again," she told Salon in 2020. "You don't have to rediscover her every week. The challenges are really fun but you have a boundary in which to play."
She's an acclaimed stage actor.

Falco has become a regular stage actor, appearing in a number of acclaimed Broadway and Off-Broadway productions since making her stage debut in 1998's Tony-winning and Pulitzer Prize finalist play Side Man.
Her theater work includes the plays Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune, 'night Mother, and the 2011 revival of The House of Blue Leaves, for which she was nominated for a Tony Award.
A cancer diagnosis changed her life.

Falco has never married but she's mother to two children: a son, adopted in 2005, and a daughter, adopted in 2008. She decided to become a parent after being diagnosed with—and beating—cancer in the early 2000s. "I never really thought I'd have kids," she told the Las Vegas Review-Journal in 2020. "Then the cancer thing kicked in. Once I realized I wasn't going to die, it was like a light going on. I knew I wanted to be a mother."
Falco is a vegan and has spent time volunteering for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA). "Let's teach our children to respect and show compassion for all beings—both human and animal," she says in a video from the organization encouraging parents not to take their children to circuses that use live animals.

She filmed scenes for the Sopranos prequel and will appear in the Avatar sequel.
Taylor Hill/FilmMagic
Falco recently went back to her most iconic role, filming scenes as Carmela for the 2021's The Many Saints of Newark, a prequel to The Sopranos focused on Tony coming of age and becoming involved in the family business. However, her appearance was ultimately deleted when the film's flashback structure was retooled.
Falco's next role will take her a long way from New Jersey. She will appear as a general in two sequels to James Cameron's sci-fi blockbuster Avatar, including Avatar: The Way of Water, out in December 2022.

Hi Devs, I wonder if you can help me, I did look every where to find the answer, but I need help.
I have created a GUI from scratch and I would like for it to replace the current default one that of exile where you select spawn locations on the map. I have removed all spawn markers so it doesn't show but, I have no idea where I can find it and look at the code and maybe override it with mine. My GUI is working as far as seeing it on the screen and clicking the buttons while in Editor and I know it loads to the server fine but I have no idea how to make it the first thing player sees when they join or respawn. I have it set to run from ExileClient_object_player_network_createPlayerResponse.sqf in the case 0 section however when the GUI is displayed for the respawned or new player its after he already spawned in the map (yes I could change the position of the spawn so they are spawning off the map with no background sound like ocean) but would then have to add teleport scripts for each button to take the player to that location. there must be a better way?

Watch the Trailer For Netflix's Shadow and Bone Series
February 27, 2021 Gossip & News
Netflix has shared the first trailer for its series based on Leigh Bardugo's bestselling Grishaverse fantasy novels, and if you had any reservations about the adaptation before, you'll be seeing the light now. Set in a war-torn world plagued by the Shadow Fold, an area of nearly impenetrable darkness that contains an array of horrors, the story follows a map-maker that discovers she has a power that could be the key to setting her country free. In the trailer, Alina Starkov (Jessie Mei Li) — our orphan map-maker — reveals a dormant power that unleashes a piercing light when her friend Malyen is attacked during a journey across the Shadow Fold. She's taken to General Kirigan (Ben Barnes), who promises her that they're going to "change the world," and trains her to become a member of her kingdom's militia of magical soldiers known as Grisha.
Eric Heisserer, best known for his work on Arrival and Bird Box, created, wrote, and produced the series's eight-episode first season with Lee Toland Krieger signed on as director. The cast includes Archie Renaux as Malyen Oretsev, Alina's childhood friend, Freddy Carter as Kaz Brekker, Amita Suman as Inej, and Kit Young as Jesper Fahey — members of the Six of Crows underworld gang. The series will adapt the entirety of Bardugo's trilogy, as well as its two spin-off novels, Six of Crows and Crooked Kingdom, which means we might be visiting the kingdom of Ravka a few more times in the future. Watch the trailer above and check out photos from Shadow and Bone ahead before Netflix starts streaming the series on April 23.

The Final, Ferocious King Arthur: The Legend of the Sword Trailer
By The Credits
Director Guy Ritchie has married his singular, kinetic filmmaking chops to one of the most iconic tales in the Western canon for Warner Bros. Pictures King Arthur: Legend of the Sword. The final trailer begins with arguably the most iconic moment in the story, when a young Arthur (Charlie Hunnam) pulls the titular sword, Excalibur, from the stone, and sets into motion an epic adventure. It's easily the most compelling of all the King Arthur promos we've seen (using Led Zeppelin's "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You" doesn't hurt), showing how Ritchie's King Arthur is a tale of revenge.
Legend of the Sword traces Arthur's journey from the streets to the throne, a journey orchestrated by his murderous uncle, Vortigern (Jude Law). It's Vortigern who kills Arthur's father and steals the crown, forcing our hero into the streets when he's just a child. Everything changes, however, once Arthur manages to pull Excalibur from the stone.
Along with Hunnam and Law, Legend of the Sword stars Astrid Bergès-Frisbey, Djimon Hounsou, Aidan Gillen, Eric Bana, with a script from Joby Harold and Guy Ritchie & Lionel Wigram.
King Arthur: Legend of the Sword arrives in theaters on May 12.

Sorenson Impact Center Awarded $1.5M White House Grant
"We are honored to be awarded this grant alongside our exemplary peers in a joint effort to help advance President Obama's goal of using data and evidence to achieve positive impacts at scale."
Great news, I just found the longest acronym in the history of humanity: CNCSSIFPFSADP.
I know you think I'm joking and I just monster mashed the keyboard to come up with this acronym, but I swear it's true. It stands for Corporation for National and Community Service's (CNCS) Social Innovation Fund (SIF) Pay For Success (PFS) Administrative Data Pilot (ADP) and it's a grant program highlighted by the White House that awards $1.5 million to organizations concentrating on breaking down data barriers within the world of social impact financing (aka Pay For Success financing).
Now, Pay for Success financing — which "aims to measurably improve the lives of people most in need by driving resources toward better, more effective programs" — is dependent upon data being shared and accessed freely without many of the legal and technical walls that currently exist, and that's exactly where this grant program enters the picture.
One of the organizations selected? None other than University of Utah's own Sorenson Impact Center, who will now be charged with applying $1.5 million in the best way they see fit.
"Pay for Success financing is a powerful tool, but it relies on the ability to effectively collect, integrate and analyze data," said Jeremy Keele, managing director of the Sorenson Impact Center. "We are honored to be awarded this grant alongside our exemplary peers in a joint effort to help advance President Obama's goal of using data and evidence to achieve positive impacts at scale."
The Sorenson Center will dole out money in $250K chunks for technical assistance to organizations currently involved with a Pay for Success project, available in an open competition that begins in December 2016. Good luck to everyone.
