Q: How to stream IPConfig /displaydns Is there a simple way I can have a powershell / cmd prompt open and stream the dns cache so that it will scroll automatically as things are being cached?

A: Take a look at the MicrosoftDNS_Cache WMI Class in the root\MicrosoftDNS namespace. My desktop doesn't have that namespace available, but supposedly it's available for servers.
Get-WmiObject -Namespace "root\MicrosoftDNS" -Class MicrosoftDNS_Cache `
    -ComputerName $RemoteServer

That might give you a start in the direction you're looking for.
If that has the data you're looking for, you could wrap that into an endless loop like so:
while ( -1 ) {
    Get-WmiObject -Namespace "root\MicrosoftDNS" -Class MicrosoftDNS_Cache `
        -ComputerName $RemoteServer
}

Obviously you'll have to tweak the get-wmiobject code to get the output to look how you want, and as mentioned above, that's assuming the class/namespace contain the date you're looking for.

Inverness man aims to cycle the UK for sick children
by Scott MacLennan
June 5, 2018, 6:43 am Updated: June 5, 2018, 8:00 am
David Balfour doing a cycle from Land's End to John o'groats for Smith-Magenis Syndrome.
When most grandfathers are thinking about taking it easy, one Inverness man has decided to cycle the length of the UK.
David Balfour set himself the challenge of pedalling from Land's End to John O'Groats and he will start in five day's time.
He chose to undertake the gruelling journey to raise money for a charity that supports people suffering from the little-known Smith-Magenis Syndrome (SMS).
The extremely rare condition is a development disorder which occurs in only 1 in 25,000 births.
The cause is close to his heart because Mr Balfour's own family have been affected by it therefore motivating him to do what he can to support the Smith-Magenis Syndrome Foundation.
Mr Balfour said: "My four year old grandson Max has SMS. It affects him in a number of ways including some intellectual disability and delayed development, delayed speech – he doesn't as yet speak, sleep disturbances and behavioural problems.
"It's not curable and it is challenging but Max has parents and a family who are brilliant in their care for him. Others are not so lucky."
He added: "To be unsupported or alone trying to live with SMS must be a dark place which is why this charity is so important."
So the 59-year-old member of the NHS Highland service planning team is ready to get on his bike in order to some good work.
Mr Balfour described himself as a "fit old lad with a bike" and declared that his training programme is quite simple – he cycles every day.
Already accomplished over long distances after recently finishing the 64-mile long Etape Loch Ness, Mr Balfour said he is ready for an even bigger challenge.
In preparation he will have a couple of 100-mile runs and vowed to be ready when he sets off from Land's End on the June 10.
He said: "That apart, simply eat like a horse and avoid illness and injury. What could be simpler?"
Despite his positive attitude he has admitted that it can be difficult sometimes and occasionally extremely hard.
Writing on his blog he said: "Before anyone else tries to tell you otherwise, knocking 100 miles or so out of weary legs needs real effort. Knees are usually the first to let me know, closely followed by back and unmentionable bits."
Jokingly he wrote that many of these symptoms are often to be met with by MAMILs – middle-aged men in lycra.
He said: "I'm assured that's typical for a late stage MAMIL but it does beg the question of how the body will cope with back to back efforts over eight days or so."
His plan is to take a quieter but longer route on back roads which will make the journey even longer at around 1,000 miles – that is an extra 140 miles.
But perhaps the greatest difficulty is in that he intends to complete it in just eight days so he will need to average about 125 miles a day.
With five days yet to go he is just over half way to achieving his fundraising target of £2,000 with plenty still coming in.

Video stories help illustrate how CMS is tackling a national issue in new ways.
If your printing budget has been slashed as a result of budget cuts, you can still communicate effectively with parents and other key publics: Information that's contained in brochures, annual reports, newsletters, curriculum guides, Realtor packets, and other print materials may be moved online successfully — without resorting to PDFs.
The new annual report from North Carolina's Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools (CMS) offers a case in point. Posted online (www.cms.k12.nc.us), the report highlights the previous year's major accomplishments and financial data.
While the content is fairly standard annual report fare, the format is not. Making strategic use of the web's interactive capabilities, the report includes short video news clips and interviews, as well as eMail links to people who can provide more information or answer additional questions.
The accountability and assessment section of the report, for example, links to the district's robust online data dashboard, which offers tools for comparing student achievement and other data by school, demographic group, and geographic region as well as district-wide.
Messages from the superintendent and school board chairperson are pithy and concisely written, and they're provided in video as well as text formats. The finance section includes some nice charts that clearly show where the money comes from and where it goes–something that's often hard for district officials to communicate, given the complexity of most public school budgets.
As with accountability and assessment, the Board section repackages existing CMS web site content in the annual report, a cost-effective–and nifty–way to get web users to look at important information that might not generate much traffic on its own.
The most compelling video snippets in the report include news-type stories about the district's strategic staffing initiative and other efforts to get the right teachers and principals to the schools with the most disadvantaged students.
Embedded in the annual report, these video stories help vividly illustrate how CMS is tackling a national issue in new, creative, and effective ways. A lengthy print tome, no matter how well-researched and well-written, simply wouldn't have the same impact.
The report's drill-down features (providing a headline with a link to more information, and so on) make it easy for web users to spend as much time–or as little–as they want.

Traps are important tools for the monitoring and surveillance of adult mosquito populations. Today, various models using different attractants are available – including light, carbon dioxide (CO2), visual cues, animal baits, synthetic lures, or various combinations of the above. Depending on the goal and research question, some models are better suited than others. In virus isolation studies, for example, it will be essential to capture large numbers of the target species. In contrast, surveillance programs require representative samples of the local population, thus relying on more universal traps that attract a variety of species.
Trap development goes back to the early 1900s, when the first (rather unsuccessful) trapping attempts were made using bright light as an attractant and giant fans for capture. Headlee and Mulhern pursued the concept of combining light with suction and developed the first standard mosquito collection device to serve as an alternative for human landing collections: the New Jersey Light Trap (1942). Over decades, variations of this first trap model have been employed; they all use light as an attractant and a fan to draw insects into a holding container beneath the trap (= downdraft technology). The New Jersey Light trap uses a standard incandescent light bulb and requires electrical current from the mains supply to operate the light and fan. Thus, in addition to its weight and bulkiness, the required mains electricity results in the trap usually being placed in one location only.
New Jersey light trap
CDC Light Trap
EVS trap
Newer models, like the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) miniature light trap 1 or the Encephalitis-Virus-Surveillance (EVS) trap, which are powered by batteries, represent more light-weight and easier to transport versions that are widely used in surveillance programs. These traps should be used with dry ice as light alone is a poor and non-selective attractant that can result in the capture of numerous non-target insects like moths and beetles, sometimes in numbers eclipsing those of mosquitoes. Through the addition of CO2, mosquito catch rates can be increased dramatically, while non-target insects will be less attracted. In both models, CO2 is normally dispensed from above the trap using dry ice, although sometimes, the carbon dioxide is also released from gas cylinders. In CDC traps, the dry ice is hung above the trap's lid, wrapped in newspaper or placed in an insulated container, while the EVS trap comes with an insulated bucket that holds the dry ice. The cold CO2 will continuously sink to the ground until it has completely sublimated. Thus, attracted mosquitoes must fly upwards to the trap opening in order to be sucked into the trap. Orientation towards the trap entry is supported by a small LED light, incandescent light bulbs, or UV-light sources. Here you can find a demonstration of the setup of a CDC miniature light trap.
CDC and EVS traps work very well with floodwater- and rice field mosquitoes, such as Aedes vexans, Ae. sticticus or Ae. caspius, which usually occur in large numbers and are very much attracted to CO2.
They may however not be ideal for the monitoring of anthropophilic and/or invasive species such as Ae. aegypti and Ae. albopictus, a drawback that was already recognized in the 1960s when light and CO2 baited traps were the most prevalent models for monitoring programs. Ovitraps became popular as they allow for an inexpensive, rapid and sensitive detection of Ae. aegypti and Ae. albopictus, with no need for electricity 2. Ovitraps consist of a black (plastic) container filled with water and a wooden sampling paddle or a piece of Styrofoam which serve as the oviposition substrate. Instead of using plain tap water, attraction can be increased through infusions, e.g. oak leaves, grass, hay or alfalfa. In the field, standard ovitraps need to be visited frequently to prevent them from becoming a productive source for adult mosquitoes.
This risk has been minimized in a new generation of ovitraps that kill the ovipositing females, inhibit larval development, and allow to collect adult mosquitoes (autocidal/lethal/sticky ovitraps). New and improved gravid trap versions were introduced in 2013 by the U.S. CDC (Autocidal Gravid Ovitaptrap, AGO) 3 and the James Cook University in Australia (Gravid Aedes Trap, GAT) 4 : the AGO has been presented as a low-cost device for the surveillance and control of Ae. aegypti that does not require frequent servicing. The GAT also targets Ae. aegypti and offers another inexpensive and passive method to collect adult mosquitoes that seems to be more effective than the AGO. In Australia, the GAT caught about 2x more adult Ae. aegypti than the AGO (Dr. Scott Ritchtie, unpublished data).
Ovitrap Ticino
CDC AGO Trap
Gravid trap
Besides passive gravid traps, battery powered models have been developed and employed in arbovirus surveillance studies to actively collect gravid females. The CDC gravid trap 5 consists of a large pan containing an oviposition medium (e.g. hay infusion) that attracts approaching gravid females. The mosquitoes are then collected in a catch bag by an updraft battery operated fan. This trap model has been proven to be very successful in collecting large numbers of gravid Culex females. Here you can find instructions for the setup of a gravid trap.
Improvement and optimization of trapping systems to monitor the adult population continued and significant progress was made in the late 1990s and early 2000s. To overcome the problem of attracting mosquitoes over the distance (from where they are initially attracted) to where they are eventually collected (like in CDC and EVS traps), American Biophysics Corporation introduced their new counterflow technology which was implemented in a variety of models including the Counterflow Geometry Trap (CFG) 6 and commercially available Mosquito Magnet traps. These models utilize two fans that are integrated in an inner and outer pipe: one fan creates a downdraft in the outer pipe to release a CO2-enriched plume while the second fan creates an updraft in the inner pipe to suck mosquitoes in at the point where CO2 is released. CO2 is either supplied from cylinders of compressed gas or produced by the catalytic combustion of propane, which in addition also generates heat and water vapor. The routine use of CO2 in mosquito surveillance programs can be problematic due to cost and logistics requirements.
Mosquito Magnet Trap
To address these issues, researchers continued to search for new and better attractants and improved trap designs to provide innovative options for mosquito surveillance and control. Learning more about host-seeking behavior played a prominent role in the optimization process. The mosquito female locates her host through visual cues, heat, moisture and most importantly host-derived odor plumes that represent a strong olfactory cue. Among the approx. 1.400 volatile organic compounds found on human skin and in human breath, only a few have been identified to play key roles in the host-finding process: CO2, lactic acid, ammonia, short chained fatty acids and acetone. In general, a blend of different odors is more attractive than single compounds and most compounds only work as attractants in the presence of lactic acid.
BG Sentinel 2
In 2006, Biogents AG introduced a novel trapping system for the surveillance of Ae. aegypti: the BG-Sentinel trap (BGS) 7 . The trap utilizes a dispenser that emits an attractive volatile mixture composed of lactic acid, caproic acid and ammonia (BG-Lure, BG-Sweetscent). In combination with the artificial host odors emitted from the dispenser, the BGS uses visual cues and mimics convection currents produced by a human body to create a very attractive target to the host-seeking female mosquito. Here you can find instructions for the setup of the BG Sentinel 2 trap.
Initially designed as a sensitive population surveillance tool, the BGS trap has been proven to be superior in catching Ae. aegypti, Ae. albopictus and Ae. polynesiensis, compared to other, currently available trapping devices, even without CO2. When CO2 is added, the BGS functions as a more general mosquito trap and overall catch rates increase.
Traditionally, control of arthropod mosquito vectors has almost exclusively relied on chemical insecticides, but with growing public apprehension, environmental concerns and developing pesticide resistance, innovative new technologies are required to augment existing strategies. There is growing evidence that traps can serve as more than a surveillance tool; depending on the local population and surrounding conditions, traps can also be implemented to control the vector population. In the last two years several studies have been published that demonstrate the potential of trapping systems to actually reduce vector populations: in Puerto Rico, the presence of 3 to 4 AGO traps per household resulted in a 50-70% reduction in captures of Ae. aegypti 8. A mass trapping approach using BGS traps led to a significant reduction in the abundance of Ae. aegypti in Manaus city, Brazil 9. In Italy, the use of BGS traps caused a 65-90% reduction in Ae. albopictus human landing collections 10. Finally, a mass trapping approach using Suna Traps (BGS technology) on Rusinga Island, Kenya, led to a significant reduction in the abundance of Anopheles funestus 11.
In conclusion, a few important questions need to be addressed prior to any trap study:
Which model is best suited for the purpose?
Which attractants should be implemented?
What is the best location and height?
When should traps be operated?
A lot of valuable information can be retrieved from the literature. Between 1990 and the present a great number of scientific studies comparing different trap types and attractants have been published. Attractants are definitely important and if possible, CO2 should be utilized. The addition of a synthetic lure can be beneficial to increase catch rates for certain species but some may be repelled (in that case, CO2 should be the only attractant). However, it may still be advisable to perform a comparison study of trap types and trapping strategies prior to a surveillance or monitoring project.
Ideally, traps should be positioned in shady areas, protected from wind and direct sun, and close to mosquito resting or breeding sites. They need to be operated during peak activity hours, e.g. dawn and dusk for most European species, but also during the day for invasive species such as Ae. albopictus.
A topic of current research involves the development of remote counting mosquito traps 12. These traps can provide a clearer insight into daily activity patterns, adult density indices and population dynamics over time. This information in turn can be used in mosquito control programs to determine the best time to apply control measures and to monitor the success of these measures.

Q: MergJSON LiveCode External for iOS standalone setup Currently we are only testing LiveCode 7.0.4 to see how it works and if we want to even use it.  In our apps we need JSON from our server and have setup the mergJSON library/External in Livecode. So far, this is working very nicely in standalone tests for both MacOS and Windows.  Today I started doing some simple tests on iOS and I am having a hard time with it.
I found answers where we need to use the Copy Files section in Standalone Settings, and that we need to copy the *.lcext file for mergJSON. Also watched the youtube how-to video that had mergSettings. There are no .nib files for mergJSON. Only .so, .dylib, and .dll, and the .lcext.  I tried to add the .bundle file like the video, but the app will not launch, only black screen. Are other files required for mergJSON? And where do we put them? Do they stay in the same Externals folder structure or in project folder. Also, does an IOS runtime folder need to be created like in Widows/Mac? The app runs, no errors, but no JSON results are returned. I guess I am just a little confused on the Externals setup for iOS.
Just quick notes of our environment.  We have Xcode 6.2 and the iOS Sdk 8.2.  Live Code is 7.0.4 GPL (just testing and learning this way for now, will purchase commercial once I learn more.) I think the mergJSON I have is 1.0.15, downloaded from mergext.com. (which appears to be offline today) I have only tested on the simulator.
Thanks for any help.

A: You only need to include the lcext file in the copy files section of standalone settings. No need to setup a runtime folder for iOS etc.

This week, MIT is host to the International Symposium on Academic Makerspaces (ISAM). The program, led by MIT Maker Czar Dr. Martin Culpepper, was organized by Higher Ed Makerspace Initiative (HEMI), which included Berkeley, CMU, Olin College, Yale, and other universities.
I gave the opening keynote, "Innovation at the Crossroads: Expanding the Role of Universities in the Maker Movement." Over 300 people from around the world attended the sold-out conference, indicating strong interest in ways that the universities and colleges are embracing the maker movement. In my talk, I said that the maker movement needs universities as an institutional partner. More than any other institution, universities are about sharing knowledge, processes, and tools, just like the maker movement, but also a set of values such as openness, transparency, and collaboration.
The proceeding of the three-day conference can be found online as a PDF.
Michelle and the teachers articulated five strategies for working with kids, which are each discussed in length in her article.
Dr. Robin Kay (@kayuoit) posted this excellent summary of the maker movement for educators, quoting Eric Sheninger, a senior fellow with the International Center for Leadership in Education (ICLE). Prior to this he was the principal at New Milford High School. He is the author of Uncommon Learning: Creating Schools that Work for Kids.

Q. If you keep (making) free form and student-led, do you believe it can still be tied to curriculum and an educational plan?
A. Yes. I think a maker space is more like a library in that there are multiple subjects and multiple things that you can learn… What seems to be missing in school is how do these subjects integrate? How do they fit together in any meaningful way? Rather than saying, "This is science, over here is history," I see schools taking this idea of projects and looking at: How do they support children in higher level learning?
I feel like this is a shift away from subject matter-based curriculum to more experiential curriculum or learning. It's pretty early in these days, but I think it's shifting around not what kids learn but how they learn.

World title contenders Jesus Soto-Karass (26-8-3, 17 KO's) and Selcuk Aydin (23-1, 17 KO's) will go head to head Saturday night on Showtime. The bout is scheduled as the lead in on a triple header show that features Lucas Matthysse defending his interim WBC light welterweight title against Mike Dallas Jr. in the main event. Both fighters will be looking to make a statement, as they are both coming off tough defeats against world class opposition.
Soto-Karass has never held a world title, or even challenged for one, but he's faced plenty of top notch opposition. The former holder of the WBC Continental Americas welterweight title and NABF welterweight title last faced the heavy handed Marcos Rene Maidana in September. It was dead even bout with both participants losing points for hitting on the break. Soto-Karass would finally succumb to Maidana's pressure and hit the canvas in round seven and finally be stopped a round later. Prior to that loss he has notched two wins over regional title holder Euri Gonzalez (TKO 5) and Said El Harrak (W 10). Soto-Karass has also fought Mike Jones twice (L 10, L12), Gabriel Rosado (TKO by 5), and Alfonso Gomez (TL 6).
Selcuk Aydin hasn't faced the same level of opposition as Soto-Karass, but he carries a more attractive record on paper. The once beaten Turk known as "mini-Tyson" was seen last on HBO in a 12 round losing battle against Robert Guerrero for the interim WBC welterweight title. The biggest names on the former WBC Silver champs record are Jo Jo Dan (Ionut Dan Ion) who he defeated on points twice, Jackson Osei Bonsu (KO 9), and Said Ouali (W 12). He's fought primarily in Germany, coming to the United States twice to face Ouali in 2009 and Guerrero last year.

CNBC's Jim LoWine is reporting from London.The "Passionate Citizen" campaign, set up by the National Rifle Association (NRA), has found itself under fire from the NRA over the past month after it issued a statement suggesting that the National Rifle Association (NRA) can't be trusted to keep the line-item veto over gun control in place.
In a letter to New York's Mayor Bill de Blasio, the NRA said that it was "deeply concerned" that NRA officials have blocked the efforts to repeal the NRA-backed "Stand Your Ground" ban, which had been in place since 2005.
"We believe that the NRA's political agenda is to silence, intimidate, and intimidate people who seek to defend themselves," NRA spokesman Steve Ellis said in a statement, "and that, if elected, the NRA will ensure that people of all viewpoints are able to defend themselves without fear."
The NRA has been the subject of intense criticism since its founding in the mid-1980s, following a series of mass shootings in which members of the National Rifle Association (NRA) were accused of being too close to law enforcement.
On the morning of January 17, 1983, a gunman opened fire on a group of young, unarmed students at a local bar, killing 11.
The NRA later apologized, saying that the shooting was "inconsistent with the principles of the Second Amendment," but that the organization has been doing its best to protect its members from police violence.

Raising a garden full of woody, bright-bloomed bougainvillea only requires a single plant. Simply cut from the stem of an existing plant, coat the end in rooting hormone, and stick it in a shallow container filled with well-drained potting soil. After a thorough initial watering, cover the cutting with a plastic bag and leave it to sit somewhere dim and cool. With minimal interference, it will develop into its own self-sufficient plant in as little as 3-6 months.
Cut a mature stem to a length of . Use a pair of sharp pruning shears to snip the lower end of the stem at a slight angle. Only take healthy cuttings that do not have signs of disease of infestation. Cutting the stem at an angle increases its surface area, allowing it to take up more moisture and nutrients from the planting soil.
Getting bougainvillea to root can be tricky. Consider taking multiple cuttings to give yourself more than one shot if your first attempt fails. You can cut back as much as a third of the plant's growth without worrying about harming it.
You'll only be caring for your bougainvillea in this container until it takes root, so a pot as small as will work just fine.
Insert the cutting into the soil. Sink the stem below the surface of the soil to ensure that it's anchored firmly. If you're working with a denser soil mixture and you're worried about damaging the stem, it may help to first open up a narrow hole using a pencil or similar object.
Keep the cutting within . During this time, you'll want to limit the plant's exposure to especially warm or cold conditions. It's a good idea to bring it inside during the hottest part of the afternoon and in the evening after the sun sets.
Your cutting's container or plot should be at least twice as large as its growing root system to give it plenty of room to spread out comfortably.
Shop in person if you want to make sure the item is exactly what you're looking for. Shopping online can be risky because you may not get a chance to see and hold the item. If the item is the wrong colour, size, or texture, you may not have time to return it. Shopping in person can also be a fun activity when done with company as you can joke or get another opinion if you're having trouble deciding.
If you're inviting a large number of people, save yourself time and energy by asking for contributions to the meal. Make sure to keep an organized list to get enough variety for everyone and that anyone cooking is comfortable making their assigned dish.
Plan a gift exchange with co-workers. Add some Christmas cheer to your office by organizing a gift exchange or Secret Santa. Simply place everyone's name in a hat or organize a system in which each co-worker is anonymously assigned a fellow co-worker to buy a gift for. Make sure that there is a price limit and to stress that gifts should be appropriate for your work environment.

National Catholic Reporter | Battle over religion in public schools waged in one of America's fastest-growing cities
MCKINNEY, TEXAS — Public school officials in one of the nation's fastest-growing cities are being accused of violating the separation of church and state.
The controversy has been simmering in this once-tiny cotton-farming community, about 30 miles north of Dallas, since last summer when Rick McDaniel, superintendent of the McKinney Independent School District, prayed at a pulpit adorned with a Christian cross — during a mandatory school employee meeting at a church.
Check out our newest column: The Gospel of Sports.
Last month, under pressure from concerned parents, the 24,500-student school district decided to end a decade-plus practice of conducting high school commencement ceremonies at the same church, Prestonwood Baptist, a Southern Baptist megachurch in nearby Plano.
The change outraged Prestonwood Pastor Jack Graham, one of President Trump's evangelical advisers and a former president of the Southern Baptist Convention.
"It appears religious freedom is under attack at the McKinney Public Schools," Graham said in a Twitter post. "It was our refusal to remove the cross from view that created this cowardly decision."
In a follow-up post, Graham added, "Just wondering on what planet a church,synagogue, or mosque would be expected to cover its religious symbols to host a public school graduation."
And in another tweet, the pastor alleged that school administrators had "yielded to the pressure of atheist groups and their supporters."
McDaniel's prayer drew the ire of the Wisconsin-based Freedom From Religion Foundation, which demanded that the school "temporarily cover iconography" to keep graduation ceremonies secular.
Its co-president, Annie Laurie Gaylor, said in a statement after the school district's decision: "We are pleased that the school has moved its graduation to a secular location rather than attempt to modify a house of worship into a place that appears secular. The district's decision to change its tradition to protect its students' rights of conscience is anything but cowardly."
Across the nation, church-state clashes like the one in McKinney "are happening more and more," said Charles Haynes, founding director of the Newseum Institute's Religious Freedom Center in Washington, D.C.
"As we grow more religiously diverse in the United States and people are more visible from various religious groups that have long been here but have not been visible, we are being called in these communities to live up to the First Amendment for the first time in many cases," said Haynes, co-author of "Finding Common Ground: A Guide to Religious Liberty in Public Schools."
Haynes said that if a cross or crosses were visible during a public graduation ceremony, that wouldn't necessarily be wrong or unconstitutional. But the church can't require a cross to be visible, nor require students to listen to a pastor.
"Religious freedom isn't a local church putting conditions on a public school using its facility and making sure its cross is visible," Haynes said. "That's the opposite of religious freedom, and that's exactly what the First Amendment is intended to prohibit."
School district spokesman Cody Cunningham said in a statement that there were "a variety of reasons including proximity, availability, attendance capacity and convenience" for moving the graduation events to the secular Allen Event Center in a neighboring suburb.
"In addition to proximity, McKinney ISD acknowledges the fact that parents and community members have expressed opposing views on the appropriateness of holding graduations in a religious facility," Cunningham said. "More recently, the public debate over the venue intensified to a level that would likely have caused a distraction at the commencement ceremonies.
"While community members are entitled to their own opinions on the issue," he added, "graduation is not an event to be used as a platform for religious or ideological debates, but rather a time to celebrate and honor students."
Just since 2000, McKinney has more than tripled in size, hitting an estimated population of nearly 180,000. Last year, it ranked as the third-fastest growing city in America among communities with populations of 50,000 or more, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
In 2014, Money magazine named McKinney as the No. 1 best place to live in the U.S., saying, "Underlying McKinney's homey Southern charm is a thoroughly modern city."
Seven years ago, in search of a community friendly to his Christian values, James Blanchet moved his family from Southern California to McKinney. When a cashier at a local Target store told him to "Have a blessed day," he felt like he had found it.
Blanchet, the father of a high school senior, said Christianity seems to be under increasing attack in some quarters.
But the software sales professional said he has no problem with moving McKinney's commencement ceremonies to a secular location.
"If they wanted to hold the graduation at a non-Christian place of worship, I wouldn't feel comfortable with that," he said at a Starbucks near the busy intersection of U.S. highways 380 and 75. "I do see both sides of it.
"So, in the scheme of things, is it a big deal? No. You've got to pick your battles."
McKinney school officials declined to comment on the controversy, and the district spokesman would not discuss reports of an intolerant environment in the schools.
Two McKinney public middle school teachers resigned last month after they posted anti-gay and anti-Islamic tweets. Twitter messages were discovered in which the teachers referred to Islam as a "satanic death cult," an "evil ideology" and a "political ideology … (that) cannot assimilate," according to the Dallas-Fort Worth chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations.
At a meeting last month, Farah Uddin, a Muslim mother, urged the school board to accept diversity training offered by groups including CAIR and the Gay and Lesbian Alliance of North Texas.
Uddin noted that the school district's "Vision, Mission & Beliefs" statement says, "Everyone has an inherent value and deserves to be treated with dignity and respect."
"But with recent developments, I feel we are not following this belief," Uddin told the board. "Some students have recently come out and reported that teachers within the ISD have been engaging in racist and discriminatory behaviors toward certain students in the classroom. As a result, these students are hiding their identity out of the fear of being bullied because of their race, religion, gender or sexual orientation."
Kate Parker, a mother of two McKinney students, describes herself as agnostic.
The former public school art teacher said she has helped organize an informal, interfaith group of parents — including Christians, Jews, Muslims, atheists and agnostics. The group has pressed the school board for more inclusivity and sensitivity toward students of all faiths or no faith.
Too often, Parker said, teachers have placed Christian crosses and Bible verses on school walls, prayed aloud in classrooms and said things like, "The answer to all your big questions is God."
"It's about making sure every kid … feels comfortable and included at school," Parker said in an interview at Filtered, a craft coffeehouse just down the street from the Collin County Courthouse in downtown McKinney.
"Obviously, the focus has a lot to do with separating church and state and making sure that McKinney ISD is in compliance with the law," she added. "But for the group of us who have all been interested and talking with the district about this, the real overreaching umbrella is about inclusion."
However, other parents worry that something special will be lost by moving the commencement ceremonies away from the church.
Heather Harrison said she attended graduation for two nieces and a nephew at Prestonwood Baptist. Each event was special, Harrison said, "especially because God's presence was there."
"I feel like it's another step to moving everything toward more secular," the mother of two said. "But I know Texas is a popular place. People move here from all different backgrounds, and so you don't just have one belief in Texas.
"You have all kinds of people that come together," she added. "So, I see where people could have an issue with it if you weren't a Christian. … But it makes me sad."

Q: Open specific Settings-page programmatically Is there any way to, in my app, to redirect a user to a specific settings 'page'? My app works as a lock screen app, so I want to be able to redirect the user directly to the "Lock Screen" section of the Android settings. (Preferably via a button or something similar)

A: I managed to find the correct answer in an old Stackoverflow-post from a while back. The code snippet now looks like this:
Intent intent = new Intent(DevicePolicyManager.ACTION_SET_NEW_PASSWORD);
startActivity(intent);

A: ACTION_SECURITY_SETTINGS Intent:
 Intent intent = new Intent(Settings.ACTION_SECURITY_SETTINGS);
 startActivity(intent);

For complete Settings Intents

A: val intent = Intent(Settings.ACTION_SECURITY_SETTINGS)
intent.flags =
    Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK or
    Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP

startActivity(intent)

Note the flags. These are optional, but necessary to remove the previous settings screen from the screen if it was previously open (this is needed if your application wants to open multiple settings screens).

David Thornton - The Great Race by Peter Graham
Artist: David Thornton (30 Videos - See All)
Title: The Great Race by Peter Graham
David Thornton [www.euphoniumsoloist.co.uk] performing Peter Graham's 'The Great Race', at Leicester Co-op Band's 40th Anniversary Concert [8th Oct 2011]. 'The Great Race' is the third movement of Peter Graham's Euphonium Concerto titled 'In League With Extraordinary Gentlemen'. The music follows Phileas Fogg on the last stage of his epic journey "Around the World in Eighty Days" [from the novel by Jules Verne]. The moto perpetuo nature of the music gives full rein to the soloist's technical virtuosity. As the work draws to a conclusion, the frantic scramble by Fogg to meet his deadline at the Reform Club in Pall Mall, London, is echoed by the soloist's increasingly demanding ascending figuration, set against the background of Big Ben clock chimes.
'In League with Extraordinary Gentlemen' was first performed in the brass band version by David Thornton and the Black Dyke Band, conductor Nicholas Childs, at the RNCM Concert Hall Manchester on January 30, 2009.


Elderly Loved One Facing Abuse and Neglect in a Nursing Home?
There may be no other decision you will ever have to make that is more difficult than placing an elderly loved one into a nursing home. However, relatives are often not in a situation where they can provide the level of care that an elderly family member needs. These decisions are not made lightly as we want nothing more than to provide the care our loved ones need. When we realize that we are not able to adequately provide it, we research and seek out a facility that we can trust to care for them the way we wish we could. In too many cases, however, nursing homes break our trust by failing in their duties and, in some instances, taking deliberate harmful actions toward elderly residents. Physical and emotional abuse, sexual abuse, theft and general negligent care are just a few examples of the nightmares our loved ones can face if they are entrusted to the wrong facility.
If you suspect that your loved one is being abused by the nursing home staff, or if your loved one has informed you of neglect or abuse, you should contact an experienced San Francisco elder abuse lawyer immediately. At Mary Alexander & Associates, P.C., we represent clients throughout Northern California in a variety of nursing home neglect cases. We know what to look for in the process of gathering evidence, and we know how to present a compelling case in support of your loved one's claim for damages.
Contact our office to schedule a free initial consultation about your nursing home abuse or neglect concerns. Our nursing home neglect attorneys in San Francisco fight every day for those harmed by others. We help victims seek the redress and closure they need and deserve. We can help you draft and file a strong claim. Call 415.966.2626 or contact us online today.

Q: How to convert ... to logical symbols?
If Bluenose is guilty then no witness is lying unless he is fearful. There is a witness who is fearful. Therefore, Bluenose is not guilty.

$$B\to[(\forall x)(\,(Wx\land\lnot Fx)\to(\lnot Lx)\,)] \tag{1}$$
$$(\exists x)(Wx\land Fx) \tag{2}$$
$$\lnot B \tag{3}$$
Is this interpretation correct ?
I am asked to deduce the conclusion which is $\lnot B$ in this case.
** T.E stands for tautological equivalence
My try is:
$$3.\quad \lnot B \lor [(\forall x)(\,(Wx\land \lnot Fx)\to (\lnot Lx)\,)] \quad1 \; T.E\\4. \quad\lnot B \lor [\lnot (\exists x)\lnot(\,(Wx\land \lnot Fx)\to (\lnot Lx)\,)] \quad \; 3Q1$$
I am not able to deduce the conclusion, I think I misinterpret the sentence.
The following is my last try:
$$\tag{1} B\to (\nexists x)(Wx\land Lx)\oplus (\exists x)(Wx\land Fx) \qquad P$$
$$\tag{2} (\exists x)(Wx\land Fx) \qquad P$$
$$\tag{3} B\to (\exists x)(Wx\land Lx) \qquad 1,2$$
I am still struggling.

A: There is some English word play going on. I think the author means it as follows.

No witness is lying unless the witness is fearful.

To work out the "unless" operator:
$$A\mbox{ unless }B \equiv \neg A\rightarrow B \qquad (\equiv A\lor B)$$
is how it should work. In this topic the unless operator is also tackled.
Accordingly, sentence 1. translates to
$$B\rightarrow \neg\exists x\left (Wx\ \land\ (\neg Lx\rightarrow Fx)\right )  \equiv B\rightarrow \neg\exists x(Wx\ \land\ (Lx\lor Fx))$$
To deduce $\neg B$ it suffices to show that the implication
$$[B\rightarrow \neg\exists x(Wx\ \land\ (Lx\lor Fx))]\land [\exists x (Wx\land Fx)]\rightarrow \neg B\tag{i} $$
is a tautology.

For the sake of completeness. Assume implication (i) is false. Then we have two conflicting conditions
$$\neg\exists x(Wx\ \land\ (Lx\lor Fx))\quad\mbox{and}\quad \exists x(Wx\ \land\ Fx). $$
The left hand condition is equivalent to $\forall x(\neg Wx\ \lor\ (\neg Lx\ \land\ \neg Fx))$. The right hand condition provides for some $a$  that $Wa\ \land\ Fa$ is true ( i.e there exists a fearful witness).
The left hand condition, however, states that all witnesses are truthful and fearless, in particular witness $a$. This is impossible.

A:
.. no witness is lying unless he is fearful.

The common English meaning of this sentence is satisfied if every witness tells the truth.
It also is satisfied if some witnesses lie, but every lying witness is fearful.
In short, this clause says that every witness either tells the truth or is fearful:
$$  (\forall x)(Wx \to (\lnot Lx \lor Fx)).$$
We put this together with "If Bluenose is guilty" and we have
$$ B \to (\forall x)(Wx \to (\lnot Lx \lor Fx)). \tag1$$
Now,
$(Wx \to (\lnot Lx \lor Fx)) \equiv (\lnot Wx \lor (\lnot Lx \lor Fx)).$
Therefore $(1)$ is equivalent to the following:
$$ B \to (\forall x)(\lnot Wx \lor \lnot Lx \lor Fx). \tag{$1'$}$$
Also,
$((Wx\land\lnot Fx)\to(\lnot Lx))
\equiv (\lnot(Wx\land\lnot Fx)\lor(\lnot Lx))
\equiv (\lnot Wx \lor Fx \lor \lnot Lx)$,
so your formulation is also equivalent to $(1')$.
That is, your formulation is correct (in the sense that it has the same logical consequences as the sentence in English),
though it was difficult for me to see this by direct translation.
Another equivalent way to translate the first sentence is
$$ B \to \lnot(\exists x)(Wx \land Lx \land \lnot Fx). \tag{$1''$}$$
The rest of your formulation is obviously correct:
$$(\exists x)(Wx \land Fx) \tag2$$
$$\lnot B \tag3$$
As has been observed in comments, this system is satisfied by a model in which Bluenose is guilty, there is exactly one witness, and the witness is fearful.

I think you were intended to translate the first sentence as follows:
$$ B \to \lnot(\exists x)(Wx \land (\lnot Lx \lor Fx)). \tag{1a}$$
This might be the meaning of the first sentence if it had the following logical structure:

If (Bluenose is guilty) then no witness is (lying unless he is fearful).

But that is not the way the English language works.
A more logic-friendly phrasing of the English sentence is this:

If (Bluenose is guilty) then (no witness is lying) unless (every witness who lied is fearful).

Take away the parentheses and the sentence still means the same thing.


Continuing from where I left off – standing on my path – God invited me to settle down, to take a look around and stop frantically trying to define my path and where it was heading. Pausing right now to remember what I discovered brings back the same sensations I experienced the first time: peace, hope, wonder, love, joy, assurance, excitement, light, beauty, comfort, and most of all the express knowledge of His presence with me on the path. Knowing at any time I could turn to His embrace truly settled me and restored my trust in the knowledge that the One who created me also created the path I'm on and will continue to guide me along it.
I began to realize that God was more interested in my choosing to love, than my successes or failures as a writer, or whatever label I could call myself. I had skewed the parable of the talents to pressure myself to be the person I thought I was supposed to be. To utilize the gifts I was given or become a failure in God's eyes.
The beauty God revealed on the path is this: God is for me, His love is for me. He created me and knows everything about me. I can choose to write, I can choose to sing, I can choose to work at the grocery store, and I will still be on the path. His desire and His direction will always be toward loving Him, loving others and loving myself; and as long as I remember to choose love in all I do, I am successful in life.
Beautiful! Keep up the good work!
Well, I had to read the follow up to Part I! What an insight. I like how open you are.

Mushroom Farm Accused of Dumping Toxins Into Creek
By Silicon Valley Newsroom / December 31, 2018 5
A photo supplied by the Santa Clara County District Attorney's Office shows where Monterey Mushrooms, Inc. used outflow pipes to illegally and intentionally dump toxic production waste into Fisher Creek from its Hale Avenue site in north Morgan Hill, according to authorities.
A national mushroom grower could be on the hook for millions of dollars worth of damages and penalties after local authorities accused the company of intentionally dumping toxic production waste from its Morgan Hill site into an adjacent creek.
The Santa Clara County District Attorney's Office announced in a Dec. 27 press release that it has filed a $67 million lawsuit against Monterey Mushrooms in relation to the illegal dumping allegations, which center on the company's Hale Avenue farming and production site in north Morgan Hill.
The DA's lawsuit claims Monterey Mushrooms has "on numerous occasions and for years, pumped wastewater from its water holding pond and process water holding tanks at the Morgan Hill facility into Fisher Creek," reads the press release from the DA's Environmental Protection Unit.
Monterey Mushrooms spokesman Bruce Knobeloch said in a statement the company is "shocked and disappointed" by the lawsuit, which follows recent "active communication and dialogue" with the DA's office dating back to incidents that occurred during the "catastrophic winter storms" of 2016 and 2017—incidents the company claims were not intentional. Since those storms, Monterey Mushrooms has worked with county and state environmental regulators to prevent future incidents, reads the company's statement.
Much of the illegally dumped wastewater contained toxic levels of ammonia, according to the DA's Office. Fisher Creek flows into Coyote Creek, which flows into San Francisco Bay. "Businesses should never make illegal and dangerous tradeoffs between pollution and profit," District Attorney Jeff Rosen said after his office filed the complaint, which alleges dozens of unfair business practices and state Fish and Game violations. "We will vigilantly protect the health of our county's waterways."
The investigation started with leads from a local citizens group, which passed on information about potential illegal dumping to the California Department of Fish and Game, Deputy District Attoryen Denise Raabe said. Fish and Game officials contacted the DA's office, and the two entities continued the investigation into Monterey Mushrooms' Morgan Hill facility.
The intentional illegal dumping began in early 2016 and continued to spring of 2017, reads the DA's press release. Monterey Mushrooms allegedly pumped harmful wastewater from its holding ponds into waterways in order to dispose of the waste without incurring additional costs.
The Morgan Hill facility also allowed contaminated stormwater from its compost processing and used compost areas to flow into the waterways, the press release continues. The grower is accused of using overflow pipes, culverts and hoses to divert wastewater into fields, and subsequently into Fisher Creek. Other pipes allegedly dumped wastewater directly into the creek.
A photo released by the DA's office shows a pipe flowing with "production waste" into Fisher Creek. On Jan. 7 and Jan. 8, 2017—two of "many" occasions documented by investigators—authorities estimated that Monterey Mushrooms pumped about 700,000 gallons of wastewater into Fisher Creek during a 48-hour period, the DA's office said.
On other occasions, investigators sampled the wastewater discharged into the waterways and tested for various toxic substances. In one instance, the wastewater contained ammonia as nitrogen at 90 milligrams per liter. The amount of nitrogen defined as "acute toxicity" is 17 mg/L, as set by the Federal Environmental Protection Agency.
The high levels of ammonia in Monterey Mushrooms' production waste are created by the use of used horse stable hay and poultry manure in the company's growing process, authorities said. Coyote Creek is home to steelhead trout, California tiger salamanders and California red-legged frogs.
The statement from Monterey Mushrooms notes that during the times mentioned in the DA's press release, winter storms flooded Coyote Creek from Anderson Dam north to San Jose and caused major damage to the Oroville Dam in northern California.
"Our Morgan Hill facility was inundated by these record storms and rainwater volume, which resulted in a record release of process water, primarily rainwater, leaving the property," reads the company's statement. "Due to this experience, the company has collaborated with county and state agents and spent millions of dollars to install additional storage, as well as engineer the separation of stormwater."
It concludes: "Monterey Mushrooms has a long history being a responsible member of the community and is committed to the highest standards of environmental compliance."
Monterey Mushrooms, Inc. is one of the nation's largest mushroom growers. The company's corporate headquarters are in Watsonville, and it has offices and production facilities in 12 states, including California, and Mexico.

Jail time needed for the owners in addition to fine. Money collected from fine needs to be used to clean area and restore some of the damaged area. If no one goes to jail fines do not deter. Great example is Wells Fargo who continued their criminal activity.

OK, so the D.A is worried about waste water from a mushroom farm, that produces a food source that we can eat without dying or getting sick, but the D.A. doesn't do anything about all the homeless bums who set-up encampments along Guadalupe Creek and use that waterway as their own personal toilet?
MTGUNN Jan 2, 2019 @ 4:53 pm
If we are going to jail someone about the conditions of the creek, lets start with the entire SCVWD board and the city counsel and mayor who were all negligent in the condition of those creeks and the flooding that occurred as a result of twenty years of incompetence.
What do you bet the mushroom farmer didn't contribute a dime to their political campaigns?

Treasuries gained across all maturities while municipals showed little movement.
Muni bond funds returned to inflows this week after seeing outflows last week.
The UK election produced a hung parliament on Friday, which put the future of Prime Minister Theresa May in question. May had no intention of resigning, but her plan for calling an early decision has backfired. This caused currency markets to decline, especially the British pound, with fears of making the Brexit negotiations more difficult.
Back at home, the U.S. JOLTS report came in well over the expected amount at 6.044 million in April. The consensus amount was 5.725 million. On the other hand, hirings came in at 5.051 million – much lower than March 5's 304 million figure. This number reflects the skill scarcity in the job market, which indicates that there are still job openings available, just not qualified applicants to fill them.
The Bloomberg Consumer Confidence Index fell slightly to 49.9 from the prior reading of 51.2. However, this measure is still a good indication of the strength of the average consumer's optimistic view of the economy.
Jobless claims decreased by 10,000, bringing the total to 245,000 for the week. This was slightly higher than the consensus amount of 241,000 but down from last week's 255,000 measure. The four-week average increased slightly to 242,000, showing continued strength in the labor market.
Last week, the Fed's balance sheet increased by $2.5 billion in assets, bringing the total level to around $4.462 trillion. The weekly increase is centered in other assets, which rose $2.6 billion.
During the week, money supply (M2) decreased by $3.4 billion, a correction from last week's massive increase of $37.7 billion.
All Treasury yields gained this week, with the 2-year increasing 4 bps to a yield of 1.33%. The 10-year Treasury yield increased 4 bps this week and is now yielding 2.20%. The 30-year Treasury yield increased by 5 bps to 2.86%. Municipal yields showed minimal movement, with the 2-year AAA-rated bonds yield increasing by 1 bps to 0.89%. The 10-year AAA-rated bond yields remained flat, while the 30-year yield increased by 1 bps to 2.72%.
Credit spreads increased, with the largest spread increasing 5 bps between the 5-year Treasury and the AAA-rated municipal; it now stands at 55 bps. With improving Treasury yields, the spread between the 30-year securities widened by 4 bps to stand at 14 bps.
After snapping the seven-week inflow trend by having outflows of $116 million last week, muni bond funds saw $871 million of inflows this week.

mechanisms by which they enter and are stabilized in the blood; what are their possible biological functions; and finally, what are the potential applications of these extracellular RNA molecules in diagnostic and therapeutic medicine? While the precise biological functions remain to be pinned down, extracellular RNA has been proposed as a vehicle for a previously unknown cell-cell communication system. Recent reports of the detection of foreign, exogenous sources of some of the extracellular RNA have thus intensified the need to investigate and understand these processes. This overview summarizes the findings, some recent developments, and the current state of research in the circulating RNA field, and some of the key open questions in the field are specifically addressed.

Gattuso: "I'm not a tactical guru, nor someone who hasn't worked to get here"
By Ahmed Bdair - 28 February 2018, 23:39
Gattuso's men continued an incredible run since the turn of the year that sees them go 13 games undefeated and through to the Coppa Italia final.
The victory in the penalty shootout leads Milan to the cup final for the second time in three years, once again facing holders Juventus.
The Milan manager did however admit that his side suffered for periods in the game and that Lazio were a worthy opponent.
"Lazio are a side who put four or five goals past everyone at home, and are one of the top scorers in Europe. They combine physicality with great technique," Gattuso said in a post match interview with Rai Sport.
"We did well today, ensuring they never found the through channels. We could've scored, we could've conceded and it was a night of suffering."
When asked about Kalinic's late extra time miss, the coach said, "I thought that I had to work on the minds of the players. A mistake can happen, every player knows that. Nikola has a problem with his thigh muscle and grit his teeth to play. He's a great guy, a great player and a champion."
"We are working on concepts, attacking the space, playing in more reduced spaces and getting to the opposition goal with as few passes as possible. People don't notice, but we don't concede because we all work to cover the spaces and the whole team does that.
"I know that I drive them crazy sometimes in training, but it's paying off and will all be worth it in the end. This is a very young side and we must get back to being the team that the fans dream of.
The manager also praised his predecessor Vincenzo Montella saying that "It's also important to give credit to Vincenzo Montella, as he introduced some important concepts and you can still see his desire to keep possession and move the ball cleanly.
Finally he made clear that there was still opportunities for improvements and that the job is not done yet
"I want to clear this up, as I am not a great Coach. I'm still in the early days, I'm not a guru of the bench and I've achieved nothing yet.
