Q: when @user is blank, how to make this if statement work? I have a header partial linked to my application.html.erb that looks like this:

    <% if @user.try(:errors).present? %>
      <%= render 'shared/error_messages' %>
    <% else %>
      <%= @title %>
    <% end %>

        <% if logged_in? %>

<%= link_to "Home", current_user %>

<%= link_to "Settings", edit_user_path %>

<%= link_to "Log out", logout_path %>

        <% else %>

<%= link_to "Log in", login_path %>

        <% end %>

This is all well and good unless the page that loads doesn't have an @user variable (such as an about or logout page) in which case i get this:
undefined method `errors' for nil:NilClass

How can I make this work?  I tried changing the logic to render the title unless @user.errors.any?but that didn't work either.  I'm sure this is a simple fix but I can't figure it out!
EDIT added the fixes suggested (updated in the header partial above) and now get this error:
No route matches {:action=>"edit", :controller=>"users"} which seems to be coming from the edit_user_path

A: You can use the method .try(:something):
<% if @user.try(:errors).present? %>
  <%= render 'shared/error_messages' %>
<% else %>
  <%= @title %>
<% end %>

*

*If @user is nil, the .try(:errors) will not raise an error.

*The .present? method works for nil too:
.
>> nil.present?
#=> false
>> false.present?
#=> false
>> [].present?
#=> false
>> ''.present?
#=> false
>> 'bonjour'.present?
#=> true
>> ['bonjour'].present?
#=> true

*

*.present? is a combination of .nil? AND .empty?

*.present? is actually the opposite result of .blank?

A: You can reformulate to like this:

    <% if @user.try(:errors).try(:any?) %>
      <%= render 'shared/error_messages' %>
    <% else %>
      <%= @title %>
    <% end %>

...

Or add errors_any? to model:
class User
  def errors_any?
    self.try(:errors).try(:any?)
  end
end

And to this:

    <% if @user.try(:errors_any?) %>
      <%= render 'shared/error_messages' %>
    <% else %>
      <%= @title %>
    <% end %>

...

A: I highly question the need for @user in your partial which is rendered in your application layout, hence its need in every page of your application. I argue that this is not good design at all because now you're relying on a global variable in all views of your application.
I think what you really mean to use is the flash. In which case you want something like this in application.html.erb.
<% flash.each do |key, value| %>
  <%= content_tag :div, value, class: key %>
<% end %>

This should be set in the appropriate controller action before it's view is rendered so that the error message displys according to the request that was just made.
If your error messages come from your models, then this should be part of what actually generates these error messages. Typically this is a call to either create or update actions in the controller. In which case you should have the error_messages partial rendered with the form when your validations do not pass and the form is rendered again with the model object.
<%= form_for @user do |f| %>
  <%= render 'shared/error_messages', :object => f.object %>

<% end %>

This way you can be confident that the @user object is always available for the partial to render without any errors since we're explicitly passing the object to the partial itself, and the partial is being rendered with the correct context. Using @users in your partial itself is the equivalent of using a global variable, hence the entire application relying on that global variable to exist.
The @user object is now accessed with a local variable in the partial as object (or whatever your decide to end up naming it).
<% object.errors.full_messages.each do |message| %>

* <%= message %>

<% end %>

Plus, Coca-Cola is easier to come by in some parts of the world than clean drinking water, so a Dutch artist devised a distillation process to convert the soda into water using his creation, The Real Thing.
Buttercup the duck wears a 3-D-printed foot.
Dutch artist Helmut Smits finds irony in the fact that Coca-Cola is easier to come by in some parts of the world than clean drinking water. Working with the University of Amsterdam's Synthetic Organic Chemistry Group, Smits devised a distillation process to convert the ubiquitous red-bottled soda into water using his creation, The Real Thing. Soda is boiled in the device, creating water vapor, which is funneled into a glass and mixed with minerals to make it safe to drink. The Real Thing was displayed at the Sense Nonsense exhibition in Eindhoven, Netherlands, during Dutch Design Week.
Google software engineer Tom Stanis' February 2013 bicycle accident near Stanford University left him with a concussion, a neck brace and no recollection of the event. But it also resulted in an unrelated medical discovery that shifted the course of his career. A CT scan after the accident revealed spine fractures and a kidney mass that turned out to be cancer.
With the cancer removed, and an excellent prognosis, Stanis left his post on the Google Wallet mobile payment team to join Google X, the company's clandestine research arm. Specifically, he's now a part of a Life Sciences group developing nanoparticles to patrol the human body to detect evidence of diseases like cancer in their early, most-treatable stages. In fact, Stanis' story was instrumental in securing funding for the endeavor.

JERSEY CITY, N.J., Nov. 12, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- KCG Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: KCG), the parent company formed as a result of the July 1, 2013 merger of Knight Capital Group, Inc. ("Knight") and GETCO Holding Company, LLC ("GETCO"), today announced a one-time, non-cash gain of $128.0 million in the third quarter of 2013 as a result of GETCO's investment in Knight. Prior to the merger, GETCO held the investment in Knight at fair value with gains recorded in other comprehensive income within equity. At acquisition date, GETCO reversed the cumulative gains in other comprehensive income and recognized all gains from the investment in the income statement. KCG's previously announced third quarter earnings did not reflect this accounting gain.
As a result of the inclusion of this one-time, non-cash gain, KCG reported net income of $226.8 million and diluted earnings per share of $1.98 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 in its Form 10-Q dated November 12, 2013, compared to net income of $98.9 million and diluted earnings per share of $0.86 as originally reported in the third quarter earnings press release dated October 30, 2013. The gain is included in investment income and other, net within total revenues. Please refer to the exhibits contained herein for revised financial schedules.
KCG also announced today that it has filed restated historical financial statements of GETCO. The restatements of GETCO's financial statements are for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011, the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012, and the three months ended March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2012.
The restatements are due to errors in the presentation of GETCO members' equity, earnings per unit and cash flows as well as an accounting charge for certain non-cash, merger-related compensation. Accordingly, investors should no longer rely upon previously issued financial statements of GETCO for the relevant periods.
The restatement that related to the presentation of members' equity resulted from the misclassification of certain equity interests as GETCO members' equity. These interests were redeemable in certain circumstances outside the control of GETCO and have been reclassified as mezzanine equity. The correction impacted all relevant periods covered by GETCO historical results prior to the merger close and resulted in reclassifications to Redeemable preferred member's equity from members' equity of between $289.6 million and $338.0 million. This classification error did not result in any changes in reported net income or loss for any of the affected periods; however, the reclassification did result in the restatement of earnings allocated to common units for each such period and related earnings per unit disclosures.
The restatement that related to the presentation of cash flows resulted from the misclassification of cash flows between operating and financing activities related to unit award compensation and members' distributions. The correction resulted in increases in cash used in operating activities of $71.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, $9.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and $12.8 million for the year ended 2011, with offsetting decreases in cash used in financing activities in each period.
The restatement that related to the reporting of certain non-cash compensation in the first half of 2013 resulted from the accounting treatment of an agreement by certain owners of GETCO units to accept a less favorable merger conversion ratio for their units than the ratio to which they were contractually entitled. The intended effect of the agreement increased the merger conversion ratio of other owners, which included GETCO employees and should have been classified as compensation expense. The correction resulted in the realization of a non-cash, merger-related compensation charge of $7.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, which increased GETCO's net losses by an equivalent amount for the affected periods.
As a result of these restatements, KCG's management has concluded that there were material weaknesses in GETCO's financial statement preparation processes and the related disclosure controls for each of the affected periods.
With respect to the restatements, KCG is filing a Form 8-K today which contains restated consolidated financial statements for the affected periods. The KCG Form 10-Q being filed today includes KCG financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, which reflect the $128 million gain on investment.
To access the KCG Holdings, Inc. Form 10-Q and Form 8-K filings dated November 12, 2013, go to http://investors.kcg.com/phoenix.zhtml?c=105070&p=irol-sec.

Respawn's mystery game is reportedly an FPS pushing "style" and "mobility," so now it just needs Titans
Respawn's unannounced single-player game is reportedly an FPS emphasizing "style" and "mobility." That's according to a new report from GamesBeat , which describes these two elements as "guiding principles" for the development team. However, the report is quick to add that this mystery shooter isn't a new Titanfall game, despite bearing two of the three key markers of Titanfall – those being style, mobility, and Titans. The sticking point is always the Titans, isn't it? Respawn is known for its first-person shooters, and from the original Titanfall to Apex Legends, all of them have delivered slick, stylish action, so while unconfirmed, the details of this report come as no surprise. Sadly, it's equally unsurprising to hear that this is all apparently unrelated to Titanfall. The last time Titanfall was prominently discussed on the record was back in September 2021 during a messy back-and-forth involving Respawn and one of its community coordinators, Jason … [Read more...] about Respawn's mystery game is reportedly an FPS pushing "style" and "mobility," so now it just needs Titans

Call of Duty: Ghosts review
November 5, 2013 by www.eurogamer.net
Do you remember that bit in The Dark Knight Rises when Bane escapes from a plane in flight, blowing it in half and whisking himself to freedom as the fuselage falls away? Infinity Ward certainly does. It recreates the scene almost exactly in Call of Duty: Ghosts. It's just one of many widescreen blockbuster moments in a game that is, as always, propelled more by macho bombast than narrative coherence - but in lifting so blatantly from such a famous scene in a recent popular movie, it offers us a glimpse at the desperate emptiness that can so easily creep into a series when annual updates require a constant stream of wow moments. Following Treyarch's mostly successful attempt to inject change and ambition into the COD formula with Black Ops 2's branching narrative and loadout-agnostic construction, the Ghosts campaign can't help but feel like a step backwards. Penned by Hollywood screenwriter Stephen Gaghan - whose work includes such intelligent political thrillers as Traffic and … [Read more...] about Call of Duty: Ghosts review

Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 – Vengeance review
July 3, 2013 by www.eurogamer.net
While Battlefield 3 has exhausted its DLC arsenal, signing off with the excellent End Game back in March, its more recent rival in the Call of Duty stable still has another map pack to go before handing over to Ghosts in November. Before then, when the attention of FPS fans will surely be drawn by the shiny possibilities of the Xbox One and PlayStation 4, we have Vengeance, another seemingly randomly titled selection of multiplayer maps and Zombies add-ons. Despite the generic tough guy title, Vengeance proves to be yet another solid addition to a game that has already had some truly great bonus maps. The weakest effort this time around is Detour, a cramped map set on a battle-damaged bridge on America's east coast. This setting defines the design; a long and narrow gauntlet of death where cover comes from mangled cars and emergency barricades. There's limited verticality, with a small underside area accessible through the smashed tarmac, and a couple of trucks topside that offer a … [Read more...] about Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 – Vengeance review

GoldenEye 007 Xbox achievements leak points to new port
January 4, 2022 by www.eurogamer.net
Rare's legendary GoldenEye 007 looks set to return - as detailed by a newly-leaked set of Xbox achievements. The achievement list, which was scooped off Microsoft's servers by True Achievements , includes 55 new awards and 1000 Gamerscore for completing the game's campaign and playing its various multiplayer modes. Achievement artwork even includes screenshots from the classic James Bond shooter. There's been no official announcement of this new GoldenEye 007 release and, for now, both Rare and Microsoft are keeping schtum. While developed by Rare, the messy rights situation surrounding GoldenEye 007 has long held back the game from being officially ported. Unlike Bond's licence to kill with ease, complexities surrounding the licence to create James Bond games (later held at various times by EA and Activision), not to mention GoldenEye's likenesses of various real-world actors, all mean the 1997 classic has never been officially re-released.

Activision files lawsuit against Call of Duty cheat site
Activision has filed a lawsuit against cheat site EngineOwning for selling cheats for Call of Duty: Warzone, as well as other online shooters. The lawsuit , filed in the Central District of California, accuses EngineOwning of "trafficking for circumvention devices", "intentional interference with contractual relations", and "unfair competition". EngineOwning sells cheats for a number of online games, including Call of Duty games, Halo Infinite, Battlefield 5, Splitgate and more. Players can subscribe to receive a suite of cheats, including radars, aimbots, and triggerbots for automatic shooting. According to the lawsuit, Activision "seeks to put a stop to unlawful conduct by an organisation that is distributing and selling for profit numerous malicious software products designed to enable members of the public to gain unfair competitive advantages".

Activision warns Call of Duty cheaters may be banned from "any past, present, and future titles"
November 16, 2021 by www.eurogamer.net
Activision has warned Call of Duty cheaters that bans may now apply "franchise wide". In a blog post penned by "Team RICOCHET", the new team set up by Activision to deliver anti-cheat to the Call of Duty games, a change to the company's security enforcement policy specifically for the recently-released Call of Duty: Vanguard was highlighted: "Extreme or repeated violations of the security policy - such as in-game cheating - may result in a permanent suspension of all accounts. Additionally, any attempt to hide, disguise, or obfuscate your identity or the identity of your hardware devices may also result in a permanent suspension." The interesting note comes afterwards: "Permanent suspensions for security infractions may now apply franchise wide, including Call of Duty: Vanguard as well as any past, present, and future titles in the Call of Duty franchise."

Mass Effect 3's Happy Ending fan mod now available for Legendary Edition
One of Mass Effect's most popular finale mods is now available for the trilogy's Legendary Edition. This latest version of the so-called Happy Ending Mod adds many of the tweaks from previous iterations into a package which slots neatly into the Legendary Edition of BioWare's space opera trilogy. So, if you would like to guarantee your Shepard always survives and gets a big ol' hug from their chosen romance partner, read on. This fan-made creation cuts large chunks of BioWare's original ending, and even some scenes from the Extended Cut, which the Legendary Edition includes as standard. In short, it canonises the game's red-flavoured Destroy ending, but removes the costs - so synthetic life such as the geth and EDI survive while all Reapers conveniently drop down dead. Footage of the mod, below, shows a high score ending with little collateral damage and where the galaxy's Mass Relays are not damaged. More creatively, the mod restores some cut dialogue files in Shepard's … [Read more...] about Mass Effect 3's Happy Ending fan mod now available for Legendary Edition

Adrienne Rich, Influential Feminist Poet, Dies at 82


At Lowell, we often hear and see Special Education students in the hallways. But how much do general education students actually know about the program?
When reporter Katherine Nguyen, who has an autistic brother, first started this story, Nguyen didn't even know where the Special Ed classrooms were on campus. Over the course of investigating the story, Nguyen — along with the story's editors — began realizing that Special Ed students deserve to have their voice heard more often.
To tackle this issue, we explore the stories of Gerard Tavares, the first Special Ed student to join the Lowell swim team without accomodations, and Lilee Consoer, who has grown to become an active member of the choir program.
Both these students are activitists with The Directions: Ability Advocates — a Lowell-based organization that raises awareness and promotes inclusion.
Through these stories we hope to connect with students who fall across the educational needs spectrum. We also hope to unmask the ways general ed students can help create a brighter atmosphere for Special Ed students, and in turn, they can help us understand who we are as a community.
I'm an old graduate of Lowell, 1959. I recently sent in a write-up of some experience with my teachers at that time, some 60 years ago. One of the teachers mentioned, now deceased, was Maurice Englander. Before he died I sent him a copy of my book of poems, The Murdered Heart. He was kind enough to reply in a very thougthful letter that might be of general interest to those who were his students, and others, since he comments on his teaching approach. I thought you might like a copy of this letter to publish in your keeping in touch section of your newspaper, but I need to know where to send it, an email contact address. Thank you.

Grindr's head of communications resigns after president says marriage is between man and woman
Landen Zumwalt objected to comments Grindr President Scott Chen made calling marriage a "holy matrimony"

A Grindr executive has quit his role at the gay dating app over controversial comments on same-sex marriage by Grindr's president.
Landon Rafe Zumwalt, former head of communications at Grindr, stepped down in protest over president Scott Chen's comments last month.
Chen's comments, made on his personal Facebook page, went viral after they were reported by INTO, a Grindr-owned website.
In November, Chen shared an article about HTC's president and CEO Cher Wang, who reportedly used her nonprofits to back anti-LGBTQ groups seeking to influcence Taiwan's referendum on same-sex marriage.
"There are people who believe that marriage is a holy matrimony between a man and a woman. I agree but that's none of our business," Chen wrote in comments under the post, according to INTO's translation. "There are also people who believe that the purpose of marriage is to create children that carry their DNA. That's also none of our business. There are people that are simply different from you, who desperately want to get married. They have their own reasons."
Today we at INTO have learned that the current president of Grindr believes that same-sex marriage is a "holy matrimony" between men and women. https://t.co/reidzxovYH
— Zach Stafford (@ZachStafford) November 29, 2018
Chen's comments were interpreted by some to be in opposition to same-sex marriage, though he subsequently responded clarifying that his words "related to marriage between a man and a woman were meant to express my personal feelings about my own marriage to my wife — not to suggest that I am opposed to marriage equality."
"I am an advocate for LGBTQ+ rights and have been since I was young," Chen said. "I support gay marriage and I am proud that I can work for Grindr. I apologize that my words did not clearly convey these feelings."
But that wasn't enough for Zumwalt, who wrote on Medium.com that he "refused to compromise" his values to defend Chen's words.
"As an out and proud gay man madly in love with a man I don't deserve, I refused to compromise my own values or professional integrity to defend a statement that goes against everything I am and everything I believe," he wrote on Medium. "While that resulted in my time at Grindr being cut short, I have absolutely no regrets."
Today, I submitted my official resignation as @Grindr's head of communications. My full statement is here. https://t.co/Waf4gDFgXL
— Landen Zumwalt (@LandenRafe) December 7, 2018
He called working for Grindr a "privilege," and said he was "immensely proud of the work we were allowed to do during my time at Grindr."
He also referenced Grindr employees who remained with the company despite their opposition to Chen's comments.
"For those who remain, those who will continue to fight for our community from within, know I will be cheering you on from the sidelines," he wrote. "Persist. Make your voices heard. And never compromise who you are for someone else."
Speaking to PinkNews, a Grindr spokesperson didn't elaborate further and instead wished Zumwalt well.
"As Landen shared in his Medium post, he has resigned from his position at Grindr," the spokesperson said. "We wish him the best in his future endeavors and appreciate his contributions to the company and the Grindr community."

Poor pitches, shoddy changing facilities and the everlasting battle against the elements each winter are set to become a thing of the past thanks to the new £200m Parklife programme.
We're working with DCMS, The FA, Premier League, Football Foundation and local authorities to improve grassroots facilities across the country.
Over the next five years, we'll be working together to build up to 120 hub sites throughout England's towns and cities – providing changing facilities, clubhouses and artificial pitches.
Sheffield is the first city to benefit from the new investment – and today marks the start of a three-month bidding process for local authorities across the country to submit expressions of interest for Parklife investment.
Find out how to submit your expression of interest.
Sports Minister Tracey Crouch, says: "Better football facilities are crucial to help strengthen the sport at the grassroots and that is exactly why the government is backing this project with funding.
English towns and cities a with population of 200,000+ are eligible to apply for the process, which runs until the end of January 2017.
Two centres are already up and running in Sheffield, with building set to start on another in the south east of the city next month.
With state-of-the-art 3G artificial grass pitches, plus a new clubhouse and changing rooms, there are opportunities to play like never before.
"It's going to make a massive difference," says Fran Spiers, manager of the Abbey Lane Juniors FC U8s team, who are based at the St. George's Park Sheffield Graves facility.
Nick Bitel, chair of Sport England, says: "Sheffield marks an important milestone in our drive to improve the quality of community sport facilities across the country.

Sitz was argued February 27, 1990 and decided June 14, 1990 by a vote of six to three. Chief Justice Rehnquist delivered the opinion for the Court, with Justices Brennan, Marshall, and Stevens dissenting. The Court held that while highway sobriety checkpoints allow for a ''seizure,'' the seizure is reasonable under the Fourth Amendment. The decision signifies that the Court recognizes the state's ''grave and legitimate interest in curbing drunk driving'' (p. 444).
Michigan State Police established a highway sobriety checkpoint with guidelines governing checkpoint operations, site selection, and publicity. During the time frame at issue, 126 vehicles passed through the checkpoint with an average delay of twenty-five seconds, and two drivers were arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol.
Using the rationale from U.S. v. Martinez–Fuerte, 428 U.S. 543 (1976), Chief Justice Rehnquist argued that the degree of intrusion is minimal in comparison to the state's interest. ''No one can seriously dispute the magnitude of the drunken driving problem or the States' interest in eradicating it. Media reports of alcohol-related death and mutilation on the Nation's roads are legion. The anecdotal is confirmed by the statistical. 'Drunk drivers cause an annual death toll of over 25,000 and in the same time span cause nearly one million personal injuries and more than five billion dollars in property damage.''' The empirical data coupled with the brief intrusion, Chief Justice Rehnquist reversed the Michigan Court of Appeals and affirmed the constitutionality of sobriety checkpoints.

Measures to conserve Western Ghats to be delayed by 6 months
The government intends to prohibit or restrict industrial and developmental activities in some 37% of the area of the mountain range, an area of 59,940 sq km spread over five states.
After floods and landslides in the Western Ghats in Maharashtra and Kerala last year, experts had called for an immediate demarcation of the ecologically sensitive areas. (HT File)
ByJayashree Nandi, New Delhi
Measures to conserve the ecologically sensitive Western Ghats will be delayed by another six months after the central government extended the deadline to notify the new rules till June 30 citing difficulties in consultations due to the coronavirus pandemic, a notification from the Union environment ministry stated. Earlier, the deadline was set to expire on December 31.
The union environment ministry issued a notification on December 31 amending the Environment (Protection) Rules, 1986. In rule 5, sub-rule (3) and clause (d), "for the words, letters and figures 31st December, 2021, the words, letters and figures 30th June, 2022 shall be substituted," the notification stated. The clause applies to prohibition or restrictions imposed by the government on the location of industries or the carrying on of processes and operations in an area.
After floods and landslides in the Western Ghats in Maharashtra and Kerala last year, experts had called for an immediate demarcation of the ecologically sensitive areas. The government intends to prohibit or restrict industrial and developmental activities in some 37% of the area of the mountain range, an area of 59,940 sq km spread over five states.
The environment protection act rules enjoin the central government to consider all observations and objections within 120 days of publication in the official gazette, and impose the new curbs within 180 days which has been now been amended to extend the timeline. The five Western Ghats states – Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Goa, Maharashtra and Gujarat – have opposed several of the measures.
Last year, these states did not agree with the Union environment ministry's fourth draft on the subject in a notification dated October 3, 2018. In view of the pandemic, the ministry had on June 16 extended the validity of the notification till December 31. But once again, the five states were not able to reconcile their differences, a ministry official said, requesting anonymity. Several activities such as mining, operating thermal power plants or specified polluting industries, building townships and area development will either be completely banned or severely restricted.
The Western Ghats is an ecologically fragile region. An expert panel led by ecologist Madhav Gadgil in 2010 recommended that 75% of the 129, 037 sq km area should be declared an environmentally sensitive area because of its dense forest and a large number of endemic species. In 2013, a panel headed by rocket scientist K Kasturirangan scaled it down to 50%. The Kasturirangan report's recommendations were further diluted, and four draft notifications have been issued since.
"The need for conserving Western Ghats ecology without compromising local livelihoods has been recognised in various planning, policy and scientific documents," said Kanchi Kohli, legal researcher at the Centre for Policy Research, a think tank. "Its legal and regulatory enforcement has, however, been a vexed process.
"This new extension for the finalisation of the notification represents political negotiations and prioritisation challenges of various governments," Kohli said. "It is also an important moment to strengthen the process by reflecting on post-Covid consciousness around public health, food security and biodiversity."
Several experts have linked unplanned construction and quarrying to the worsening of disasters in the Western Ghats.
"I know what kind of vested interests are prevailing. They are nurtured. They are the construction lobby who work so that the rich can make more and more money," Gadgil had told HT in an interview in October after floods in the Konkan and landslides in Uttarakhand. "People in the Konkan have now started talking a great deal about improper construction of bridges, high embankments and highways in vulnerable areas."

The Family Research Council is attacking the National Republican Campaign Committee for "abandoning social conservative candidates" by withdrawing funds for ads in the re-election races of two congresswomen.
The two Republican congresswomen are Marilyn Musgrave of Colorado and Michelle Bachmann of Minnesota.
Musgrave is one of the most outspoken members of the House in opposition to gay marriage, and is in an uphill fight to retain her seat against Democrat Betsy Markey, The Hill newspaper reported.
Bachmann came under fire last week for saying that Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama and other members of Congress hold "anti-American views." Since then her Democratic opponent Elwyn Tinklenberg has received a flood of campaign contributions and has risen in the polls, according to The Hill.
"The left is attacking both of these outstanding women because they are true conservatives. They vote pro-life and pro-family," he said.

Justin Bieber Arrested For DUI BREAKING NEWS
by Paul Cashmere on January 23, 2014
Justin Bieber continues to be a kid out of control with news that the notorious popstar has now been arrested in Miami for Driving Under the Influence (DUI).
TMZ is reporting that Bieber was arrested in Miami on Thursday morning when caught drag racing and drunk.
Police now have the disgraced kid popstar in custody where he is said to be undergoing more blood tests.
If Bieber is found with a high enough blood alcohol reading, it is assumed he will be jailed until bail is set.
Justin Bieber finished 2013 with a shameful Australian tour where he was often up to 90 minutes late on stage and on at least one occasion spotted in a bar at 4am.
When he returned to the USA he publicly gave notice of his "retirement" on Twitter. His manager Scooter Braun jumped into damage control and insisted it was he who told him to "take a year off". Days later Bieber was tweeting photos of himself and Kid Cudi in the studio working on a new song.
Noise11 will have more news on Justin Bieber's DUI arrest as soon as we have more information.

YouthSites: The Informal Learning Sector in Creative Lives
Despite the robust nature of the non-formal learning sector, research on the role of youth creative arts and media organizations as providers of non-formal education is sparse and often charged with documenting best practices among organizations, rather than the impact of the sector as a whole. The YouthSites project examines the creative arts sector for youth from socially excluded backgrounds in Vancouver, Toronto and London over the last 25 years. We map youth participation in out-of-school arts learning and investigate the structural relationship between the development of this sector and the changing role and meaning of creative education, as training for employment in the creative and cultural industries has become a priority across the sector.

Define the Line: Sexual Violence in Universities
"Define the Line: Sexual Violence in Universities" is a seven-year project to address sexual violence on university campuses across Canada and internationally. The overarching goal of this project is to unearth, dismantle and prevent rape culture within universities, and ultimately in society, through evidence-based research that will inform sustainable curriculum and policy change. Dr. Stuart R. Poyntz is Co-Investigator and Section Leader of News and Social Media Analysis for this project.
This project is funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC) in the amount of $2.6 million. It is further supported by an additional $3.7 million of in kind and cash contributions from five McGill Faculties, the VP Research; 10 universities and 14 community partners.
Youth Digital Media Ecologies in Canada Research Project
The profile and practice of media literacy is changing in the contemporary period. In this study, we examine Canadian youth media production in order to develop a taxonomy of the situated media practices characteristic of creative youth work in schools and community based-settings across the country. While mapping these situated practices, we also identify and examine the affordances of media production, including the formal and aesthetic characteristics of specific production resources and the networks of social capital programs and initiatives foster for participating young people.

Q: Subtracting a varibale obtained as output of commands and an integer in shell script I am finding out the total ideal CPU by using the command

top -bn1 | grep Cpu | awk -F"," '{print $4}' | sed 's/[ \t]*//g' | sed 's/%id//'

Now I want to find out the CPU which is being used so I am trying to subtract the output of the command from 100
So the script looks like :
i=`top -bn1 | grep Cpu | awk -F"," '{print $4}' | sed 's/[ \t]*//g' | sed 's/%id//'`
j=100
k=$(( ${j}-${i} ))
echo $k

When executing this script the output gives an error:

100-93.0 : syntax error: invalid arithmetic operator (error token is ".0 ")

How should I proceed to subtract the derived decimal number from 100 ?

A: You are getting this error because BASH arithmetic cannot handle floating point numbers and you will get same error while running this command in bash:
((100-93.0))

But you can skip grep, sed and all bash directives. Just a single awk can handle this computation like this:
top -bn1 | awk -F, '/Cpu/ {print 100-$4}'

Report: Illegal Trade in a Greenhouse Gas Rampant in EU
Published: Tuesday, 09 April 2019 19:09
Written by Lucy Papachristou
EU's tight regulations of greenhouse gases seem to have caused an eruption of criminal trade of hydrofluorocarbons (HFC), synthetic chemicals hundreds of thousands of times stronger than carbon dioxide and used in many common household products, according to a new report published Tuesday by the Environmental Investigation Agency (EIA), a UK-based NGO.
HFCs are found in common products such as aerosols. (Photo: Flickr)HFC gases are used in common appliances like refrigerators and air-conditioners, as well as in fire protection, aerosols and foams. The EU instituted a global "phase-down" of fluorinated gases ('F-gases'), which includes HFCs, in 2014, and by 2030 hopes to cut F-gas emissions by two-thirds compared with 2014 levels, according to a European Commission factsheet.
While F-gases account for only two percent of the EU's overall greenhouse gas emissions, their emissions have risen by 60 percent since 1990, while all other greenhouse gas emissions have reduced.
The projected emission savings are 1.5 gigatonnes by 2030 and five gigatonnes by 2050, according to the EC factsheet. The latter figure is more than all the CO2 produced by a billion return flights from Paris to New York and more than the sum of all greenhouse gases emitted in the EU in a single year.
"Cutting HFC use is one of the most effective tools to help prevent runaway climate change – but its impact could be significantly undermined by illegal trade," Clare Perry, Climate Campaigns Leader at EIA, said in a press release.
And despite restricting legislation, EIA's new report says that trade in HFCs is actually on the rise, with 2018 in particular "witnessing a deluge" of illegal HFC use and trade across the EU.
EIA says reports of illegal (non-quota) HFCs in the EU began to surface as early as 2016, and in spite of significant stockpiling of HFCs in 2014 before the EU regulation went into effect that same year.
The multinational conglomerate Honeywell, a major producer of HFCs, said that 10 million tonnes of CO2-equivalent HFCs was illegally imported in 2015, more than five percent of the total quota. Scores of reports on illegal HFC use and trade have been made since.
EIA analysis of customs data for 2018 indicates that some 16.3 million tonnes of HFCs illegally entered the EU market, about 16 percent of the quota.
Most of the HFCs enters the EU market from China or via Russia, Ukraine, Turkey and Albania, according to the report. Investigators suspect common entry points and hotspots are located in Bulgaria, Croatia, Denmarket, Greece, Italy, Latvia, Poland and Malta. The HFCs are then dispersed throughout the EU, including via web-based platforms, including eBay, Facebook and even SMS texting.
The report also noted discrepancies between Chinese export figures of HFCs and EU import figures, suggesting possible customs fraud.
Prominent industry stakeholders seem to be aware of the illegal trade. EIA survey results from late 2018 included in the report show that more than 80 percent of companies surveyed knew that illegal HFCs were circulating around the EU and 72 percent had seen or been offered refrigerants in illegal disposable cylinders.
What is lacking, apparently, is proper and effective enforcement by EU member states.
"There is an urgent need to immediately improve enforcement of the F-gas Regulation, particularly at the EU border level. Member states need to seize, prosecute and apply sufficiently high penalties," EIA concluded in its report.
The organization also recommended additional or stronger bans on HFCs in certain equipment and the implementation of an EU-wide customs system to determine if an import of HFCs or HFC equipment is covered by the quota.

Corporate debt in the UK is taxed under special legislation known as loan relationship rules. This legislation, originally introduced by the Finance Act 1996, was eventually incorporated into the Corporation Tax Act, 2009.
In order for a loan relationship to occur, both of these conditions must exist, but further rules now apply when a company enters into a Company Voluntary Arrangement, or CVA.
How does a Company Voluntary Arrangement work?
A licensed insolvency practitioner is appointed to administer the Company Voluntary Arrangement, which is designed to allow directors to trade their way out of difficulty. The company must be viable in the long-term, and may have suffered an unexpected downturn in trade from which it's expected to recover given the opportunity.
The IP presents a proposal to creditors for repayment of part of their debt – for example, 40p in every pound owed. If the creditors approve the proposal, they're agreeing to 60% of their debt being written off at the end of the CVA term, which is generally five or six years.
What happens when debts are written off under a CVA?
A debt is released, or written off, when a creditor relieves their debtor of the duty to repay. Under normal conditions, a credit would appear in the debtor company's books as an exceptional item in the profit and loss account.
As such, it would become taxable under the loan relationship rules. When a company enters a statutory insolvency procedure, however, an exception to the loan relationship rules may be made in certain circumstances.
Because the credit has resulted from a statutory insolvency procedure - a Company Voluntary Arrangement (CVA) - an exception is made to the loan relationship rules. The percentage of debt released as a result of the CVA becomes part of the distressed company's revenue reserves, but crucially, doesn't become assessable for corporation tax.
If this exception didn't apply, the ensuing tax charge – a potentially significant sum - could have a severely detrimental effect on the company's financial situation and general recovery at the end of the CVA term. In effect, it could potentially reverse any trading improvements made over the previous five or six years.
If your company is experiencing financial decline and you're concerned about insolvency, our experts at Real Business Rescue can provide professional guidance and support. We'll establish the company's current financial position, and advise on the most suitable options.
