The Colt M2012 is a bolt-action rifle hand-built to win with speed and pinpoint 0.5-MOA precision!
Hail to the match king— Colt's new .308 Winchester M2012 bolt action is designed for repeatable, sub-MOA precision, solid ergonomics and fast targeting. Shown equipped with a Trijicon 5-20×50 AccuPoint scope.
Fast and smooth, the Colt M2012 utilizes a three-lug, spiral-fluted bolt with a knurled tactical bolt handle.
To personalize your fit behind the rifle, the solid, skeletonized buttstock can be fine-tuned for cheek height and length of pull.
The M2012 accepts five- or 10-round Accurate-Mag and AICS-pattern magazines. Note the ambidextrous mag release.
The rifle's aluminum modular chassis ensures reliability and repeatable accuracy without the need for bedding the action.
Colt has a long history of providing accurized AR-15-type rifles. The company's Match Target was the first AR-15 I ever deployed as a designated marksman rifle (DMR). Mated to a Trijicon ACOG, it was as accurate as the platform could be at the time. Designed for the competition market, it had a crisp trigger, repeatable accuracy and complete reliability. Colt's competition rifles have been used with great effect in CMP and other national matches for years, and the company continues that legacy with a number of match-quality AR-15 rifles in both .223 and .308 calibers.
Rifle competitions continue to grow in popularity each year. One of the fastest-growing segments of the industry, 3-Gun, is exploding. This popularity has sparked increased interest in precision rifle side matches, as well as sniper and precision rifle competitions. Populated primarily with bolt-action rifles, these matches require true precision accuracy, with the .308 Winchester as the primary caliber. Sub-0.5-MOA accuracy is the norm, with many rifles shooting into a quarter-inch. Winning in this arena requires a solid rifle and a committed and well-trained shooter. Most rifles used at this level come from custom gunsmiths or long-time precision rifle builders—until now. Colt has introduced a new bolt-action rifle, the M2012, based on the Cooper Firearms short action.
The M2012 starts with a short action from Cooper Firearms of Montana chambered in .308 Winchester. Cooper is well known for making fine rifles built to custom standards. The three-lug design makes for a short, 60-degree bolt lift and a fast-cycling action.
The M2012 is equipped with a spiral-fluted bolt using a side bolt release, tactical knob and external extractor. A 20-MOA top rail is solidly mounted to the action. The match chamber is designed to accept SAMMI-spec .308 and NATO-stamped 7.62x51mm ammunition. Timney's Single Stage Adjustable trigger is installed as well as a Remington-style safety.
Mated to this action is a 22-inch, match-grade, fluted, stainless steel barrel. The tapered barrel measures 0.87 inches at the muzzle, making for a heavy target profile. Button-rifled with six grooves and a 1-in-10-inch twist rate, it is topped off with Colt's custom muzzle brake. This brake is fitted to the barrel using a small shoulder, "timing" it nicely. It is a three-port design, and two small holes on top work to compensate for muzzle rise. Mounted with 5/8-24 threading, the brake can be removed for suppressor use.
A forged aluminum modular chassis holds the action and barrel in place. The stock is fixed and allows for length-of-pull adjustments using a large wheel. The cheek height is adjustable using an Allen wrench, and locks into place solidly. A knurled knob allows the cheekpiece to be removed for cleaning without affecting the adjustment. It can also be easily switched to the opposite side for left-handed shooters. The bottom of the stock features a small rail and quick-detach (QD) sling cups on either side.
A five-round, single-stack Accurate-Mag magazine is provided. (Ten-round magazines are available.) The rifle will also accept AICS-pattern box magazines. There is a large machined-aluminum magazine release at the bottom of the mag well. Magpul's MOE pistol grip is installed, but any similar AR-15-pattern grip can be substituted. The triggerguard is large and relieved on either side, allowing for solid and precise trigger manipulations. A round, aluminum forend covers the barrel and offers various attachment points for rails or sling studs. A QD sling cup is also placed at the bottom of the chassis at the rear of the forend. Along the top of the forend is a continuous rail that mates nicely to the scope rail.
To complete the rifle for testing, I mounted a Leupold 3-18x44mm Mark 6 scope. Utilizing the Xtended Twilight and DiamondCoat 2 coatings, the scope can be used for longer periods of time with greater light transmission. A one-piece 34mm tube provides solid construction, holds the reticle in the first focal plane and provides 100 MOA of total adjustment. The Horus H-58 reticle provides tactical viability. An M5B2 auto-locking elevation turret allows for precision and simple operation in the field. A single turn gets you 10 mils (34 MOA) of elevation—plenty for all but the longest of ranges. There is a harder stop at each 5-mil increment to keep you on track in the dark. A flat and covered windage turret keeps things simple and out of the way, and it has 5-mil limits in either direction. A large power selector allows for magnification changes using gloves. The quick-adjust focus ring gets the reticle in focus and locks it into place. At a mere 12 inches in length, the Mark 6 fits on most precision rifles. Mounted in a set of U.S. Optics tactical rings, it fit the Colt perfectly. It was close to the bore line and allowed plenty of space for any accessory I may have needed.
I also used Gemtech's Sandstorm suppressor for all of the accuracy testing. It is the company's top-flight .30-caliber rifle suppressor. Built from titanium, it is trimmed to the limits of the design. Titanium dissipates heat faster, cuts weight and contributes to ease of operation. Weighing in at a mere 13.3 ounces, the Sandstorm is incredibly light. At 7.8 inches in length and 1.5 inches in diameter, it is also the shortest suppressor I have seen for this chambering. With 5/8-24 threading, it fits most common .30-caliber weapons. Rated to .300 Winchester Magnum, it will also work on smaller calibers.
For greater stability, I attached a Harris HBRMS bipod. For carry, I used a Vickers sling from Blue Force Gear with QD swivels. Accuracy testing was completed from a prone position using a bag, mostly because that is my comfort zone and where the best accuracy is possible for me.
Given that it's meant to win matches, I tested the M2012 in a manner most often seen in sniper and precision rifle competitions. This included shooting from prone and unsupported positions, and from the bench. Competitions where this rifle will be used vary considerably. For those looking for a tactical rifle, most of the testing would cross over.
Cooper rifles have a rather specific accuracy guarantee. Beginning in 1998, the company guarantees 0.5 inches at 100 yards. Given that its action is mated to this rather substantial chassis, I expected similar or better accuracy. Colt supplies a test target with every rifle, and the one that came with my sample M2012 showed an impressive 0.23-inch, three-shot group at 100 yards using handloads. The M2012 certainly did not disappoint during my evaluation, delivering a 0.37-inch group using Silver State Armory's 168-grain SMK ammunition. While Silver State's ammunition is not listed as "match grade," it has proven to be some of the most accurate factory ammunition I've tested, and this batch was no exception.
Moving out to 300 yards, the Colt M2012 continued to deliver excellent accuracy. This time Federal's proven 175-grain Gold Medal Match took honors with a solid 0.65-inch group. Granted, it was a perfect day for groups—warm temperatures, zero wind and clear skies—but that is about as good as I can do with factory ammunition. This rifle is just plain accurate from prone, shooting everything at 300 yards into an inch or less, and under a half-inch at 100 yards. The stock is very ergonomic, making a solid fit easy. It's also built rock solid. Weighing in at 13.1 pounds unloaded without the scope and magazine, the M2012 is no lightweight. Adding the scope, rings, bipod and loaded magazine made it weigh closer to 15 pounds.
While I used the Gemtech Sandstorm suppressor for most of the testing, the Colt muzzle brake worked really well. Sure, it was loud, but it reduced felt recoil and muzzle rise while contributing to the rifle's accuracy. Removing it for suppressor use was simple, and re-installation was equally as fast. The barrel shoulder was flush, allowing the Gemtech to mate up perfectly. It stayed in place, never coming loose. Given the excellent barrel and solid platform, impact shift was minimal to non-existent. Half an inch or less was observed, but that could just as easily have been me. The Gemtech Sandstorm and Colt muzzle brake were virtually interchangeable as a practical matter, with the only tradeoff being sound.
Given that many competitions require unsupported shooting, I also ran the M2012 from kneeling as well as around obstacles and barricades. All that weight is a bit more noticeable from kneeling. The large aluminum block that attaches the forend and action provided a usable shelf for better balance. Removing the suppressor made the M2012 a bit more usable from these positions. The rifle's accuracy was still excellent—I just had to make sure I was in a solid, supported kneeling position. The forend is smooth and allowed for use on top of barricades and other obstacles. There is a solid ledge where the forend mounts to the chassis, allowing for a solid push against hard barriers without interfering with the magazine. After trying a few shots from double kneeling, I would probably use this position were such a stage to present itself.
Carrying the rifle slung was not its sweet spot. While the rear QD swivel on the bottom works, the M2012 remains a bit close. Using the sling stud supplied on the side of the rail worked, but given a choice, I would add a rail so I could mount a sling point more forward. But, as always, slinging a 15-pound precision rifle is never really comfortable, and the M2012 was no exception. If you're in a competition that requires you to carry everything with you, use a bag or an Eberlestock pack.
Bolt operation was smooth, with what I would term a "normal" bolt lift. All of the factory ammunition loaded easily, and I didn't have to truly "grab" the bolt knob. The straight bolt handle and its 60-degree throw made for fast manipulations. Short of a straight-back bolt throw, this is about as fast as it gets. Over the course of the day, the action smoothed out nicely and worked perfectly. There were no failures to extract or eject, and spent brass nestled nicely in a pile just outside my control hand. Single-round feeding was also no issue. Feeding from the top was not possible given the center-feed design of the AICS-pattern magazine. Given the action's similarities to those from Accuracy International, I tried a 10-round, double-stack AW magazine, but it did not lock into place. The 10-round Accurate-Mag versions themselves are pretty long. Unless a competition stage requires more ammo, the five-round magazine would remain my preference in this platform.
Colt's M2012 is an excellent entry into the precision rifle market. With superb accuracy and solid ergonomics, it will do well in any competition field. Smooth and fast bolt operation, removable magazines and solid operation allow for reliable operation from any position. The heavy-contour barrel, while a bit unwieldy in a kneeling position, will keep the rifle consistent over long strings of fire and at longer ranges. Consistently accurate with factory match ammunition, the M2012 should suit those less inclined to handload.
All in all, the M2012 continues the Colt legacy of accurate competition rifles with flying colors. Retailing at $3,799, it is priced competitively. For those looking for a solid precision rifle, the Colt M2012 should definitely be on the short list.


Rattlesden Bike Show would like to thank the village residents for their support and patience during last Sundays show. We hope that you were able to come down and enjoy the show. Together we raised over £400 for St Nicholas Hospice Care Bury St Edmunds.
Following complaints from residents about nuisances caused by lorries accessing the Buffer Depot, the Parish Council spoke directly to the company which manages the Depot. They were genuinely concerned about what they had been told as they did not want to upset the local community, and consequently they would be writing to suppliers and transport companies which use the Depot to highlight the concerns that had been raised and asking them to be more considerate. This is encouraging, but clearly the situation will need to be monitored.


Brian and Bo evaluate an alternative way to borrow and lend money in this week's show. They get into the nitty gritty of peer to peer lending, as well as, the real estate research website Zillow. Brian shares his personal experiences with peer to peer lending using the Lending Club website.
Before we get into the podcast stuff you have to go over to YouTube and check out Ella Sings Elvis. You're going to love it, especially if you have kids.
Since 2008 it has been hard for individuals to find personal loans. This has created a tremendous gap in personal finance, and from this void came a new category of lending known as peer to peer lending. It is essentially an online system that allows you to meet with your peers to borrow and lend money.
Last year's private offering valued the company at $500 million.
Google just invested $125 million in Lending Club; which brought the current value to $1.55 Billion, with a B. Talking about a return on investment, wow!
They have loaned: $2.2 Billion since their inception in 2007.
80.66% of loans are used to consolidate debt.
Last month $174 Million was loaned through the site, which puts them on track to outpace their total lending in one year at that rate.
They make money by service fees through both borrowers and lendors.
Lending Club has paid interest of $193 Million to investors.
Positive: We like the investment side as a hobby (note we did not say primary investment) because there is tremendous flexibility. You can loan as little as $25 and up to $5,000 on an individual loan.
Brian is set to make 15.64% on an annualized basis, but realizes that this will not likely hold up because of potential loan defaults.
Downside: A lot of the loans do not get filled, not everyone will get approved for a loan. There is also a risk of default.
How you should use lending club: This is not for your emergency reserves, or to be treated as a primary investment. It is very speculative, so consider this fun money or a hobby that you can make money with. Treat it as a very illiquid investment as the loans are set at 36 or 60 months. This is a brand new category of investing that we have not included in any of our portfolios.
What does the future hold? This market could mature to the point that it is a part of your retirement system. (i.e.): like a pension or annuity.
Another great resource that we have mentioned a lot in the past is Bankrate.com. They have very helpful tools that relate to this podcast. Be sure to check out the links that we have provided and we will be back in two weeks!!
Thanks for putting on such a great podcast! I find the information you share to be very helpful in understanding the financial world.
I was interested in signing up with Lending Club but they do not support the purchase of notes for my state (AK) and a few others. However, I can buy secondary notes. What is your take on buying secondary notes? Is it worth it?
Thanks for the question! The best answer is: it depends. The loan is already on the secondary market for a reason, which means there is a greater likelihood for default. Consider your goals for this money and then determine if the risk/reward trade-off fits. It always comes back to risk/reward, is the risk your taking with this money worth the potential reward?
Thanks for listening! I hope this helps!
Good show on Lending Club. I like the premise of the idea and me being the "banker". I just took $1000 of "fun" money and loaned it out….It will be interesting to see if this matures as a true asset class. I think the idea is fantastic. Great show!
How does the taxes work with this type of investing. Do we get a 1099?

Q: Authorization does not work after adding JWT token in ASP .Net Core 2.2 I'm learning how to use JWT token authentication in ASP. I have a simple website with CRUD operations and a repository, I added register/login functionality and I have a single role called "Administrator" who is a superuser. Usually, this is how I check if the user currently logged in in an admin or not:
bool admin = User.IsInRole(Constants.ADMIN_ROLE);

This feature was working fine until I added JWT authentication to my app. Now, logging in with my admin account (added to the db manually), I never get the correct value. When I try to query the user I get NULL:
var user = await _userManager.GetUserAsync(HttpContext.User)

This is my ConfigureServices in Startup.cs:
public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
    {
        services.AddMvc().SetCompatibilityVersion(CompatibilityVersion.Version_2_2);

        services.AddIdentity<MyUser, MyRole>()
            .AddEntityFrameworkStores<MyContext>()
            .AddRoles<MyRole>();

        services.AddDbContext<MyContext>(builder =>
        {
            builder.UseSqlServer(Configuration["ConnectionStrings"]);
        });

        // repo code here ommitted for clarity

        var appSettingsSection = Configuration.GetSection("AppSettings");
        services.Configure<AppSettings>(appSettingsSection);

        var appSettings = appSettingsSection.Get<AppSettings>();
        var key = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(appSettings.Secret);
        services.AddAuthentication(x =>
        {
            x.DefaultAuthenticateScheme = JwtBearerDefaults.AuthenticationScheme;
            x.DefaultChallengeScheme = JwtBearerDefaults.AuthenticationScheme;
        })
        .AddJwtBearer(x =>
        {
            x.RequireHttpsMetadata = false;
            x.SaveToken = true;
            x.TokenValidationParameters = new TokenValidationParameters
            {
                ValidateIssuerSigningKey = true,
                IssuerSigningKey = new SymmetricSecurityKey(key),
                ValidateIssuer = false,
                ValidateAudience = false,
                ValidateLifetime = true,
            };

        });

    }

And this is my Configure class:
public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IHostingEnvironment env, IServiceProvider serviceProvider)
    {
        if (env.IsDevelopment())
        {
            app.UseDeveloperExceptionPage();
        }
        else
        {
            // The default HSTS value is 30 days. You may want to change this for production scenarios, see https://aka.ms/aspnetcore-hsts.
            app.UseHsts();
        }

        app.UseHttpsRedirection();
        app.UseAuthentication();
        app.UseMvc();
        app.UseCors(x => x.AllowAnyOrigin().AllowAnyMethod().AllowAnyHeader());
    }

It was ny understanding that since JWT is authentication it should not affect authorization at all, so I'm thinking I forgot to use some additional options, but I can't seem to find what. Any help is appreciated!

A: I ended up implementing authentication in JWT entirely.
I added a new user claim inside my token during the creation of the token descriptor:
                  ...
 Subject = new ClaimsIdentity(new Claim[]
            {
                new Claim(ClaimTypes.Name, userId.ToString()),
                new Claim(ClaimTypes.Role, roleId)
            }),
                  ...

and adding info related to the role inside (in my case, I used the ID of the role to make it less descriptive should anyone manage to decipher it)
var roles = await _userManager.GetRolesAsync(userInDb);
var userRoleId = await _roleManager.FindByNameAsync(roles.First());
                       ...
return Ok(_tokenService.GenerateToken(userInDb.Id, userRoleId.Id.ToString()));

Then, deciding if the user is admin or not is as simple as getting the appropriate value out of the token:
private async Task<bool> IsUserAdmin()
{
    var roleId = Guid.Parse(User.Claims.FirstOrDefault(e => e.Type == "role").Value);
    var adminId = (await _roleManager.FindByNameAsync(Constants.ADMIN_ROLE))?.Id;
    return roleId == adminId;
}

Although this seems to work, I still think that there may be better (less hacky) ways to do this that invole better integrating JWT into identity, so if someone can propose a more concise solution, I am happy to accepted it as answer instead of my solution.

Democrat Ammar Campa-Najjar may have lost to Congressman Duncan Hunter, R-Alpine, in the 2018 midterm, but he is not going away quietly. Campa-Najjar, who fell 9,000 votes shy of a major upset, wants a rematch.
He said in a news release he will make adjustments in order to win. He said he will pay more of his attention to local issues and adopt a more inclusive approach in his campaign.
Najjar won't be alone in the field, as former Temecula Mayor Matt Rahn announced his candidacy earlier this month.
Hunter was indicted for using over $250,000 in campaign funds to pay for personal expenses. He will go to trial in federal court on Sept. 10.
Gov. Gavin Newsom is a man with many priorities. Among the top issues he wants to address is homelessness. Today, California lawmakers will hear from a host of experts on how local, state and federal governments could respond to the problem. Eleven speakers are set to testify starting at 9 a.m. in the Capitol.
Homeless is particularly pervasive in California. According to Newsom's budget proposal, national homeless has dropped by 13 percent since 2010 and jumped by 9 percent in Califonria during the same period.
At noon today, UC Center Sacramento is hosting an event to address inequities in California's health care system. Laurel Lucia and Miranda Dietz from the UC Berkeley Labor Center will show their latest estimates of the number of uninsured people in California. They will also provide a breakdown of the uninsured by their eligibility for various coverage options and their demographics. Lunch will be served at the talk.
We'll be releasing a new edition of "California Nation" tomorrow morning, so make sure to check your feed. This week's episode focuses on wildfires and the GOP's search for a new leader. Don't assume the two are connected.
Former Assemblyman Travis Allen will come on the show to discuss his bid to become the next CA GOP chairman. He'll also outline his vision for the party and the relationship it should have with President Donald Trump.
You can subscribe to the show on iTunes, Stitcher, TuneIn, Google Play Music and SoundCloud.

ATLANTA — Despite a generally strong economic performance in 2018, a global recession could be lurking in the shadows through 2019, a leading economist told attendees at the SMC3 Jump Start 2019 conference Jan. 30.
Chinese authorities reported a growth rate of 6.4%, he said, well below the 10% rates from previous years.
The bad sign is copper consumption by China, and the lower prices the commodity is going for.
China also has had to prop up state-owned enterprises with financing, a sign its factories with excessive payrolls are a drag on the Chinese economy.
But China being a drag on the global economy could be an advantage to the United States because President Donald Trump is forcing new trade talks, he said.
In Europe, there are "serious structural problems. The problem with Western Europe is that even if Germany and France and some of the other northern European countries solve their problems, you still have the Mediterranean countries," Ratajczak told the audience.
• On trade deals: Ratajczak believes Trump will act to finish multiple trade agreements before the 2020 election.
• On U.S. housing: "Occupancy rates are quite high, which indicates a need for new housing, but there is difficulty selling homes despite favorable mortgage rates," he said.
And "even India is slowing down." India will approach a 7% growth rate, and Japan will have a positive first quarter in 2019, with maybe 1.5% growth, he said.
On the oil front, supply should not be a major problem in 2019, he said.
"We still have 4 million barrels of excess capacity in the world," Ratajczak said.
One oil supplier that could be shut off is Iran, he said. But Iran is allowed to export oil to India and China, a six-month reprieve that ends in May.
During the year, Trump soon may have to confront the reality of his trade and tariff policies, Ratajczak said.

TEXT OF STORY
Kai Ryssdal:The European Union jumped on the Libyan sanctions bandwagon today. The EU joined the United States, the U.N. and Canada, all of whom have imposed similar measures the past few days. The sanctions aren't wide-ranging. Instead they're more targeted, aimed directly at Muammar Gaddafi and those close to him. As with all sanctions, though, the question is: Will they do anything?
From New York, Marketplace's Alisa Roth reports.
Alisa Roth: The sanctions will freeze Libyan assets — just in the case of the U.S., we're talking at least $30 billion worth. There are visa bans in place for Gaddafi, his family and his inner circle. And there's an embargo on selling arms to Libya.
Victor Comras spent decades working on sanctions programs at the State Department. He thinks they'll be effective. It used to be lucrative to be tight with Gaddafi. But now, anybody who works with the Libyan leader could find himself in big trouble, even accused of collaborating on war crimes.
Victor Comras: He might find himself before the international criminal court. So I think that the signal is very strong to those that are closely associated with Mr. Gaddafi that this is the time to abandon ship.
Still, Gaddafi was presumably clever enough not to keep all of his assets in Western countries, or in accounts under his own name. So it could take a while for him to be completely cut off.
Bryan Early is a political science professor at SUNY Albany. He's concerned the sanctions could backfire.
Bryan Early: It might put more pressure on the leadership to stay in power because they know they have very little alternatives if choose to step down.
He says the sanctions do send a powerful message of disapproval from the West. But if the past is any indication, Gaddafi doesn't seem to mind being an international pariah.
The international community could still take things a few steps further. Germany is proposing a broader economic embargo — which would block oil payments for 60 days. And there's talk of imposing a no-fly zone over the eastern part of the country, to limit air strikes against protestors.
In New York, I'm Alisa Roth for Marketplace.

Untreated missing teeth do more damage than just causing a gap in your smile. Serious complications can arise, including those which may cause long-term issues like bone atrophy. Luckily, dental implants not only replace your missing tooth but take the place of your tooth's root as well—a feature no other tooth replacement option can boast. Learn more about dental implants and how they can benefit you by reading below, and contact Dr. Michelle Mottinger in Greensboro, NC, if you are interested in undergoing treatment!
Dental implants have three parts: an implant fixture, an abutment, and a prosthetic tooth. These components work together to create a sturdy foundation for your replacement tooth. Your dentist surgically inserts the fixture into the jawbone under your missing tooth. Over the course of the implant site healing, the bone grows around the fixture to hold it in place. After installation, your implants will look, feel, and function just like your natural teeth.
In use for decades, dental implants are FDA-approved and used in countless dentists' office around the country. The procedure is safe, and with the right aftercare and long-term oral care plans, are designed to last a lifetime.
Good candidates for dental implants are in good general and dental health with no signs of teeth decay and gum disease. If you suffer from these conditions, your dentist can treat them prior to considering you for dental implants. Additionally, patients should have a strong oral care routine as your body can reject implants without the proper care. The American Dental Association recommends brushing at least twice a day, flossing at least once, and seeing your dentist twice a year for optimal oral health.
If the gaps in your smile have you feeling down, considering dental implants can help you boost your self-esteem and ensure that you feel as great as you look. For more information on dental implants, please contact Dr. Michelle Mottinger in Greensboro, NC. Call (336) 375-1825 to schedule your appointment with Dr. Mottinger today!


Big Bend. The Guadalupe Mountains. Everything about them is iconic…everything but the air pollution that obscures the scenic viewscapes. Big Bend and Guadalupe Mountains National Park are increasingly under attack from air pollution known as haze from coal plants and refineries. The Clean Air Act requires the EPA to reduce and eliminate this haze. Under EPA's proposed rule, however, Texas's oldest and dirtiest power plants would be exempted from installing readily available, modern pollution controls. As a result, air pollution and impaired visibility at our National Parks could persist.
Don't let big polluters off the hook — if they pollute our parks, they should pay to clean up. EPA has the authority to require the major sources of haze in our National Parks to clean up – let's demand improved safeguards. EPA needs to hear from you before February 28th.

South Los Angeles, spesso abbreviato con South L.A., è il nome ufficiale per una vasta zona geografica e culturale situata a sud del centro di Los Angeles. L'area fino al 2003 si chiamava South Central Los Angeles; confina con i quartieri Westside a nord-ovest e Downtown a nord-est,  due quartieri non incorporati, nonché con le tre città di Inglewood, Hawthorne e Gardena.

Il cambio di nome venne fatto nel tentativo di voltare pagina per una zona caratterizzata da un alto tasso di crimine e violenza. Infatti il nome "South Central" era diventato quasi un sinonimo di degrado urbano e microcriminalità. Il nome attuale però è contestato perché South Los Angeles si riferirebbe al distretto L.A. Harbor/San Pedro. Nonostante il cambio di nome ufficiale, e sebbene i mass-media come il Los Angeles Times e le emittenti televisive si riferiscano all'area come South Los Angeles, fra la popolazione il nome non è ancora molto usato. Moltissimi residenti utilizzano ancora il vecchio toponimo, compresi personaggi famosi, come ad esempio il musicista Danny Elfman e il rapper Ice Cube.

Filmografia
Le cruente vicende di degrado e violenza delle quali la zona si è resa protagonista (soprattutto in passato, per via della presenza massiccia di bande come quella locale dei Crips e anche di quella dei Bloods) hanno direttamente ispirato la realizzazione di molteplici opere, cinematografiche e televisive (per la maggior parte nel corso degli anni '90), ovvero:

 Colors - Colori di guerra (Colors), regia di Dennis Hopper (1988)
 Boyz n the Hood - Strade violente (Boyz n the Hood), regia di John Singleton (1991)
 South Central - Zona a rischio (South Central), regia di Stephen Milburn Anderson (1992)
Nella giungla di cemento (Menace II Society), regia di Albert e Allen Hughes (1993)
 Poetic Justice, regia di John Singleton (1993)
 Set It Off - Farsi notare (Set It Off), regia di F. Gary Gray (1996)
 Gang Tapes - Per le strade di Los Angeles (Gang Tapes), regia di Adam Ripp (2001)
 Baby Boy - Una vita violenta (Baby Boy), regia di John Singleton (2001)

Televisione
 South Central - serie tv, 10 episodi (1994)
 Redemption - La pace del guerriero (Redemption: The Stan Tookie Williams Story), regia di Vondie Curtis-Hall (2004)

Documentari
 Crips and Bloods: Made in America, regia di Stacy Peralta (2008)

Q: Downloading a file throws UnauthorizedAccessException net core 2 I'm trying to download a file. (It was working before) but jsut now it started failing.
This is a .net core 2 web project supported by a web api net core 2 project. It is throwing the following error message.

Error. An error occurred while processing your request. Request ID:
  0HLDPTBLNENOG:0000000A
Development Mode Swapping to Development environment will display more
  detailed information about the error that occurred.
Development environment should not be enabled in deployed
  applications, as it can result in sensitive information from
  exceptions being displayed to end users. For local debugging,
  development environment can be enabled by setting the
  ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT environment variable to Development, and
  restarting the application.

First, I don't know how to enable the development mode, I even tried changing the environment variable with this command
setx ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT "development"
but didn't work.
Anyway I tried first logging the process. I have one method in the webapi that locates de file in a repository and returns the file location to the web controller. According to my log it didn't throws an exception and everything went as planned.
In the web controller, everything works smooth until this point
return File(new FileStream(location, FileMode.Open), "application/x-msdownload", filename.doc);

where it is throwing the following exception (this is the line 94 referred in the exception message).
:System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path 'I:\Repository\Filename.doc' is denied.
at System.IO.FileStream.OpenHandle(FileMode mode, FileShare share, FileOptions options)
at System.IO.FileStream..ctor(String path, FileMode mode, FileAccess access, FileShare share, Int32 bufferSize, FileOptions options)
at AbAWeb.Controllers.DocumentController.Download(String docId) in C:\SOME FOLDERS\Controllers\DocumentController.cs:line 94

So I assume it has something to do with permissions.
I added IUSR, IIS_IUSRS, NETWORK SERVICE, and I even tried with Everyone, and it is still throwing the same exception.
Some posts say I have to add IIS Apppool users, but I couldn't find them in the check names dialog.
The files are located in hard disk I: the web sites are in C:.
Thank you

A: According with https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/iis/manage/configuring-security/application-pool-identities, you should run the following in a cmd:
ICACLS <Folder Name> /grant "IIS AppPool\DefaultAppPool:F" /t

A: I had to add the IIS_IUSRS to the application folder to resolve this issue. Give write and read both access, so upload and download both can work.

The Police foi uma banda inglesa de rock, formada pelo baixista e vocalista Sting, o guitarrista Andy Summers e o baterista Stewart Copeland na cidade de Londres em 1976-1977. A banda, que teve influências do reggae, punk e do jazz, é considerada uma das melhores bandas da história do rock com uma enorme influência no rock da década de 1980 e gravou grandes sucessos, como "Roxanne", "Every Breath You Take", "Message In A Bottle", "Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic" e "So Lonely".

The Police já vendeu mais de 75 milhões de álbuns, fazendo deles um dos artistas mais vendidos de todos os tempos. A banda ganhou vários prêmios, incluindo seis Grammy Awards, dois Brit Awards e um MTV Video Music Award. Em 2003, foram introduzidos no Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Quatro de seus cinco álbuns de estúdio entraram na lista dos "500 Melhores Álbuns de Todos os Tempos" da revista Rolling Stone. Eles também foram incluídos nas listas de cem melhores artistas de todos os tempos da Rolling Stone e VH1.

História

Formação e início de carreira

Em 1976, o jovem Gordon Summer, conhecido como Sting, tocava com uma banda de jazz rock chamada Last Exit em sua cidade natal, Newcastle. Numa noite, Stewart Copeland, que era o baterista do Curved Air (uma banda de rock progressivo), viu a performance de Sting durante um show e ficou impressionado. Stewart disse certa vez que quando ouviu a voz de Sting, "sabia que ia ter vida boa para sempre ". Logo depois do Last Exit ter se dissolvido, os dois músicos decidiram formar a uma banda com o guitarrista Henry Padovani.

Mais tarde, em 1977, já com o nome The Police, a banda lançou seu primeiro single, "Fall Out", pelo selo independente Illegal Records, que foi criado por Stewart Copeland e seu irmão Miles Copeland (empresário do Police). O single teve um sucesso considerável para um lançamento independente, vendendo aproximadamente 70 mil cópias. Andy Summers uniu-se ao grupo e eles tocaram algumas vezes como um quarteto. Finalmente Padovani decidiu sair da banda, deixando Sting, Stewart Copeland e Andy Summers.

O Police assinou com a gravadora A&M em 1978, lançando o single "Roxanne", que não obteve grande sucesso. Já o segundo single, "Can't Stand Losing You", conseguiu ficar entre os 50 mais vendidos da parada britânica. No verão de 1978, eles saíram em turnê pelos EUA, sem nenhum disco como suporte, atravessando o país em uma van alugada e tocando com equipamento alugado.

Em 1978 foi lançado Outlandos d'Amour que começou uma escalada lenta ao Top 10 britânico e ao Top 30 americano. Imediatamente depois de seu lançamento, o grupo começou uma turnê britânica, lançou o single "So Lonely". Em 1979, o relançamento de "Roxanne" alcançou o 12º lugar nas paradas britânicas e 23º nos Estados Unidos, levando o disco Outlandos d'Amour ao sexto lugar. "Can't Stand Losing You" chega a ser número 2 na Inglaterra. No verão de 1979, Sting apareceu em Quadrophenia, um filme britânico baseado no álbum do The Who de mesmo nome; mais tarde nesse ano, ele atuou em "Radio On".

Precedido pelo single "Message in a Bottle", número um nas paradas britânicas, Reggatta de Blanc (1979), fez do grupo estrelas na Inglaterra e Europa, encabeçando as paradas por quatro semanas. Depois de seu lançamento, Miles Copeland mandou a banda em turnê por diversos países que raramente tinham shows de músicos estrangeiros, entre eles a Tailândia, Índia, México, Grécia e Egito.

Trabalhos na década de 80

Zenyatta Mondatta, lançado em 1980, alcançou o Top 10 nos EUA e Canadá. Na Inglaterra o álbum ficou por quatro semanas em primeiro lugar. "Don't Stand So Close To Me", o primeiro single do álbum, foi o segundo single número um do Police no Reino Unido; nos EUA, foi o segundo single a alcançar o Top 10 em 1981, seguido pela colocação número 10 de "De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da".

A banda retornou ao estúdio em 1981 para gravar seu quarto álbum com produtor Hugh Padgham. As sessões foram filmadas para um programa de TV da BBC apresentado por Jools Holland. Terminado após alguns meses, o álbum Ghost in the Machine foi lançado em 1981 e tornou-se um hit imediato, alcançando o primeiro lugar no Reino Unido e o segundo nos EUA. "Every Little Thing She Does is Magic" veio a ser seu grande sucesso. Depois de seu sucesso devastador em 1980 e em 1981, foram chamados de o Melhor Grupo Britânico no primeiro Brit Awards e ganharam três Grammys.

A banda fez um intervalo em 1982. Embora eles tenham feito seus primeiros concertos de arena e também a primeira visita ao Brasil, cada membro seguiu seus próprios projetos durante este ano. Sting atuou no filme Brimstone and Treacle, lançando um single solo. "Spread A Little Happiness" que faz parte da trilha sonora do filme, a música se tornou um hit britânico.

Copeland fez a trilha sonora para o filme Rumble Fish, de Francis Ford Coppola, também fez as músicas de "King Lear" para a companhia de balé de San Francisco, e lançou um álbum solo sob o pseudônimo Klark Kent, além de também tocar em várias sessões com Peter Gabriel. Summers gravou um álbum instrumental: "I Advance Masked", com Robert Fripp.

O Police voltou em 1983 com Synchronicity, que entrou para as paradas britânicas já em primeiro lugar e rapidamente alcançou a mesma posição nas paradas americanas, onde permaneceu por 17 semanas. Synchronicity tornou-se um grande sucesso devido à força da balada "Every Breath You Take". Ficando oito semanas no topo das paradas americanas, "Every Breath You Take" tornou-se um dos maiores hits americanos de todos os tempos. Nas paradas britânicas a música ficou no topo por quatro semanas. "King Of Pain" e "Wrapped Around Your Finger" vieram a ser hits no decorrer do ano de 1983, fazendo com que Synchronicity fosse multi-platina nos EUA e Grã-Bretanha.

O Police promoveu o álbum com uma turnê mundial de grande sucesso que precedeu as turnês do restante dos anos 80. Assim que a turnê terminou, o grupo anunciou que iria entrar em "licença" a fim de seguir interesses pessoais fora da banda.

O Police nunca retornou dessa licença. Durante a turnê de Synchronicity, as tensões pessoais e criativas entre os membros da banda tinham aumentado muito, e eles não tiveram nenhum desejo de trabalhar juntos por um tempo.

Reuniões
Durante o ano de 1986, a banda teve algumas tentativas de reunião, tocando no concerto para a Anistia Internacional e tentando gravar algumas músicas novas para um álbum. No decorrer da sessão de estúdio, pareceu que Sting tinha a intenção de dar à banda suas novas músicas, então o grupo regravou algumas canções antigas, mas Copeland sofreu um acidente em um jogo de pólo. Impedido de tocar, o grupo apresentou somente uma nova versão de "Don't Stand So Close to Me". Ao invés de um disco de músicas inéditas, foi lançada a compilação Every Breath You Take: The Singles no natal de 1986, que tornou-se o quinto primeiro lugar do grupo nas paradas britânicas e o quarto Top 10 americano. Após esse lançamento, o grupo silenciosamente se dissolveu.

Em 2003, a banda fez um show único no Rock and Roll Hall of Fame tocando "Roxanne", "Message in a Bottle" e "Every Breath you Take".

A banda retornou em fevereiro de 2007, começando assim uma turnê em comemoração aos 30 anos de lançamento do primeiro compacto. No dia 8 de Dezembro do mesmo ano, a banda faz um show histórico no estádio do Maracanã, no Rio de Janeiro, com mais de 70 mil pessoas.

O último show da banda da turnê de 2007/08 foi no dia 7 de agosto no Madison Square Garden. Segundo o baterista Copeland, o trio nunca mais subirá aos palcos novamente. Apenas foi lançado o disco Certifiable no dia 11 de novembro.

GSK To Make Available Rotavirus Vaccine, Rotarix To Gavi Alliance At $2.50 Per Dosage
3 min read June 8, 2011
GSK declared that it has made a new proposal to make available its rotavirus vaccine, Rotarix, to the Gavi Alliance at $2.50 per dosage, a small portion of developed world prices. This pronouncement is part of the company's labors to enhance access to its medicines and vaccines in the poorest countries of the world. It is expected that more than half a million children die of rotavirus gastroenteritis each year – the equivalent of a child a minute worldwide and it is accountable for the hospitalization of millions more.
GSK's proposal has been made in response to a UNICEF request for rotavirus vaccines and will now be assessed by UNICEF. If accepted, huge amount of vaccination against rotavirus could begin later this year. The proposal made to UNICEF was developed in discussion with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and The Clinton Health Access Initiative with support from the Pan-American Health Organisation (PAHO), and comes ahead of the Gavi Pledging Conference for Immunization which will be held in London this month.
This latest assurance for Rotarix follows the declaration in March 2010 that GSK would provide its pneumococcal vaccine, Synflorix, to Gavi at a profoundly economical price through an inventive financing system known as the Advance Market Commitment (AMC). Rotavirus associated diarrhoea and pneumococcal infections are the two most important childhood killers in developing countries.
The CEO of GlaxoSmithKline, Andrew Witty said, "GSK is devoted to playing its part in dealing with the healthcare challenges faced by the poorest countries in the world. By working in partnership with others including international agencies, governments, NGOs and developing countries, we can find ground-breaking ways to speed up access to vaccines that are immediately required by children living in these countries."
GSK has promised to donate 125 million dosages of Rotarix to Gavi over the next 5 years at a 95% cut of the price to developed Western markets to help meet the demand for rotavirus vaccination predicted by UNICEF. The discounted Rotarix price is in sequence with GSK's venerable tiered pricing policy which facilitates poorer countries to pay considerably less than higher income countries for the same vaccine, with the lowest prices set aside for agencies such as UNICEF which procure large volumes of vaccines for the world's poorest children.
Immunization against rotavirus has so far been successfully introduced in four Gavi eligible countries: Honduras, Nicaragua, Bolivia and Guyana. By grabbing a definite supply of low priced high quality vaccines, this new offer would enable Gavi to spread out rotavirus vaccination further, with the aim to cover over 40 countries by 2015.
In April 2009, the World Health Organization's (WHO) Strategic Advisory Group of Experts (SAGE) recommended that rotavirus immunization be incorporated in all national immunization programs. Based on this verdict, the WHO awarded global pre-qualification to Rotarix. These assessments have opened the door to making rotavirus vaccines available to children throughout the world.
100 million dosages of Rotarix have been distributed since its initiation in 2007 which means that approximately 50 million children throughout the globe have been inoculated with Rotarix against rotavirus.
Vaccination against rotavirus has so far been fruitfully launched in 14 countries in Latin America and Mexico, including four Gavi eligible countries: Honduras, Nicaragua, Bolivia and Guyana. South Africa is the only country in Africa to presently vaccinate against rotavirus, with North Sudan expected to follow in June 2011.
GlaxoSmithKline – one of the foremost research-based pharmaceutical and healthcare companies in the world – is dedicated to improving the quality of human life by permitting people to feel better and live longer.

Q: How can I copy a Delaunay triangulation to new points? I am currently using the Delaunay function in scipy.spatial.Delaunay, like so (simplified):
import numpy as np
from scipy.spatial import Delaunay

points1 = np.random.rand(10,2)
points2 = np.random.rand(10,2)

tri = Delaunay(points1)
# tri2 = tri(points2)? - need help here

I would like to have the same triangulation applied to point2 - if I run Delaunay again I might get a different triangulation.
Is it possible to 'copy' one triangulation and apply it to a different set of points of the same size?

A: For completeness' sake,   based on Davis Herring's response in the comments-
tri.simplices contains the relation between the indices of the input,  and doesn't rely on the actual values.
if for example I got a triangle between points[0], points[3] and points[4], tri.simplices will contain [0,3,4].
so to access the same triangulation with different 'points'  I can just access them like so:
points2[tri.simplices]


The government of India is emphasizing on the power-loom sector and planning to launch a solar scheme which would benefit the loom weavers.
The government has devised a scheme named as "Solar Energy Scheme" to provide financial assistance and capital subsidy to loom weavers for implanting the solar energy plant to increase their production.

Q: Java: find parent and children ....Tree, Loop, ArrayList, List, HashMap, ....what to do? I'm encouraged by so many warm-hearted Java experts that I dare to throw another question today  for help (all my questions are from real life projects - and since I'm taking a shortcut for learning Java, I have more difficulties than taking a normal course of Java)..
Here is the data structure I want to achieve (the final result should be a TreeMap with id as the key)
id (int)   Characteristic (int)  parent(by id) immediate children (by id)
1           1                    {}            {2,3,4}
2           99                   {1}           {}
3           99                   {1}           {}
4           2                    {1}           {5,6}
5           99                   {2}           {}
6           3                    {2}           {7,8}
7           99                   {3}           {}
8           4                    {3}           {x,xx, ...}
....
....

The first two columns are known, the last two columns need to be obtained programmatically.
Here are the rules:
1) item with Characteristc as 1 is ancestor and will never have parent.
2) items with Characteristic as 99 will never haven childen.
3) items with Characteristics (2 - 9) can have parent and children and their children can have children (that must be greater than them or 99) or no children (99).  For example, 2 can have 99 and 3 as children, but 3 cannot have 2 as their child)
thanks

A: You are not asking a question John. But  you need to think object orientation here. Create a class like so:
Item:
   int id
   int characteristic
   Item parent
   List<Item> children

You can use the above object regardless in what data structure you use. Its important to keep objects decoupled from data structures. You may later decide you need a map or treeset. Now all you have to is a create a treeset with all Item objects.
Your question has nothing do with treeset and more how to create these objects using clean object orientation.

A: You might be conflating the concepts of a tree and a map.  A Java Map provides an interface that allows you to map a bunch of objects using (usually) another type of object as the key.  In your case, it appears you'll be using Longs as keys.  The concrete Map can be either a HashMap or a TreeMap, each of which has its own advantages -- HashMap retrieval is usually faster, but TreeMap has the advantage of sorted keys.  But you can't force TreeMap to create a particular tree structure.  It'll manage its tree shape itself.  To represent your tree items you'll need some kind of tree node object, supporting operations like addChild, getChildren, getParent.  If you build your tree using tree node objects, then you can easily add those objects to a map and retrieve them by id.

ANAHEIM – It wasn't enough to win the game in dramatic fashion Wednesday. The Angels twisted the knife on the Cleveland Indians.
With manager Mike Scioscia gone after his second-inning ejection, bench coach Ron Roenicke and third-base coach Dino Ebel acted like brothers taking the family car out for some stunt driving.
Roenicke called for a two- out bunt in the bottom of the ninth inning with the score tied, and Ebel relayed the sign. Howie Kendrick executed the plan perfectly to bring home Torii Hunter from third base and give the Angels a 4-3 victory.
The Angels went 6-4 on their 10-game homestand, winning series from the Indians and New York Yankees. They now head out on a 10-game trip starting Friday to Detroit, Boston and Seattle.
Ultimately, it turned out, that while watching on television from the clubhouse, Scioscia had witnessed that kind of victory before.
Scioscia now has his own positive walk-off bunt memory. He was ejected after Hideki Matsui was ruled to have swung at a ball that nearly hit Matsui.
While leading off the second inning, Indians starter Jake Westbrook came inside with a pitch. Hideki Matsui yanked his legs out of the way and while falling over, his bat came through the strike zone. Third-base umpire Rob Drake ruled on appeal that it was a swing.
Scioscia yelled at Drake from the dugout and when he made it to the top step, Drake ejected him. It was Scioscia's first ejection this season.
Scioscia said he didn't reach the top step until he was ejected.
The Indians were cruising along with a 3-0 lead in the sixth inning as Westbrook was dominating with his late-action tailing fastball. To make matters worse, the game was played at 4 p.m. when stadium shadows made things even worse for Angels hitters.
Hunter was undeterred not only by the poor visibility, but the fact that he never had hit a home run in 43 at-bats against the Indians' right-hander.
Hunter said he even had a hard time seeing the fastball he crushed over the left-center field fence for a three-run home run that tied the score. He knew the ball was up in the strike zone so he offered his best swing.
After Angels relievers Kevin Jepsen, Fernando Rodney and Brian Fuentes kept the Indians scoreless after Ervin Santana's solid 6<MD+,%30,%55,%70>2/<MD-,%0,%55,%70>3-inning outing, the offense went to work led by Hunter again.
Against Indians reliever Joe Smith,Hunter doubled down the right-field line in the ninth and just beat the throw to second. Matsui although television replays appeared to show he was tagged out on the back before he could get to the bag.
received an intentional walk, but Kendry Morales' double-play grounder appeared to ruin the Angels' chances. Chris Perez was brought in to face Kendrick with Hunter on third. On Perez's first pitch, Kendrick pushed a bunt just past the left of the pitcher.


Intro: This was Jesus' last day on earth. What He did is a most powerful and critical message for believers. The disciples came together again. This is apparently a different occasion, a specific time planned by Christ when He would ascend back into heaven. He must have arranged for the apostles to gather all the disciples together (over five hundred) at one location. What He had to announce would be a momentous occasion.
The first scene. Jesus promised the kingdom. Picture the scene: over five hundred disciples stood in some remote spot, probably on the top of a mountain. They surrounded Christ. One of the disciples asked Christ a revealing question: "Was He now going to restore the kingdom to <?<u1:country-region u2:st="on">Israel? Was that the reason He had called everyone together, the reason for His stressing the importance of the meeting so much?" The revealing thing is this: the disciples were still thinking in terms of an earthly, physical Messiah, of a physical and material rule and reign for themselves and their nation, Israel.
The second scene. Jesus assigned the believer's great task- the great commission. The believer's equipping power was to be the Holy Spirit. God's very own Spirit was to dwell within the heart and life of the believer. No greater power could ever be possessed by anyone.
The third scene. Jesus' ascended before the disciples' very eyes. Christ needed to dramatize and enforce His final departure. Since His resurrection He had been appearing and disappearing spontaneously, at will, as though by thought or light. This departure was to be final. He would never return again, not as He had been doing. Therefore this departure needed to be different; it needed to be impressed and enforced in the minds and consciences of the disciples once for all.
The fourth scene. There was the prophecy of Jesus' return. The cloud was apparently the Shekinah glory. Christ had said He would return to earth in the clouds of. Seeing such a dramatic ascension confirmed for the disciples (and for us) that Jesus' promise of returning to earth will take place just as He said. This same Jesus who will return is the One who ascended into heaven. The Jesus in heaven is the same Jesus the disciples knew - the One who was their Lord and Savior; the One who came to earth to be their close companion, their Advocate, their Mediator, their Representative before God. Therefore when He returns, He will be coming back to receive all believers unto Himself. He will be coming back that we may all be where He is!
They have been told to tarry in Jerusalem, they are not now in Jerusalem they must leave where they are and go to Jerusalem and when they arrive there great things will happen!
Believers have to hear about the promise of the Spirit before they can receive Him. A believer cannot sit with a wandering or preoccupied mind and be filled with the Spirit of God; he cannot expect to be filled with the presence of God and never center his mind upon the things of God. The believer has to hear and focus his attention upon, hunger and thirst for the things of God. He has to center his life upon God's Spirit in order to receive the promise of the Spirit.
If you love Him you will obey Him!
They were to be His witnesses … so are we! They must launch a great evangelistic outreach. Evangelism is the missing word in the church today. We must return to the greatest task on earth. What are we doing to evangelize the world?
"This same Jesus" will return.
When He returns we must stand before Him, when He returns we must give an account of our stewardship - No time for gazing … the time is short.

The primary purpose of the passage is to ___________
Describe the development of new techniques that may help to determine the driving force behind population cycles in lepidoptera.
Present evidence that refutes a particular theory about the driving force behind population cycles in lepidoptera.
Present a hypothesis about the driving force behind population cycles in lepidoptera.
Describe the fluctuating patterns of population cycles in lepidoptera.
Question the idea that a single driving force is behind population cycles in lepidoptera.
The correct option is C Present a hypothesis about the driving force behind population cycles in lepidoptera.
Option C is the correct answer as speculating about the driving force behind the population cycles in Lepidoptera is what the entire passage concentrates on. "...such fluctuations in population are known as population cycles. Although many different variables influence population levels, a regular pattern such as a population cycle seems to imply a dominant, driving force. Identification of that driving force, however, has proved surprisingly elusive despite considerable research.." - this sentence further supports option C as the one that befits the context.

Q: How to count Attributes from an Entity in Core Data with Swift and iOS 9? I am stuck with Core Data on counting the amount of item in a particular entity item.
Here´s how it is going:
I have 2 entities: Categories and Subcategories. The relationship is To-Many from Categories to Subcategories.
On each of them I have the name attribute.
So what I need is to get the amount of Subcategories I have by name and store that amount on an attribute I will create on Categories under the subcategoriesAmount attribute.
The main view is a tableview with Categories I can add and also have on each cell a label that will display the amount of subcategories, and clicking on each cell, after a category is added, with load another tableview with the Subcategories that I can add or were already added. So as I keep adding subcategories and later on get back to the Categories table, I wan to display the amount of subcategories corresponding to the category it is connected.
So how can I do that?

A: Assuming your relationships are setup correctly, you should just be able to access the subcategories of your category directly. For example: category.subcategories.count.
If you wish to store that as an attribute keep in mind that you'll need to update this value every time you add or remove a subcategory. It sounds a bit like a premature optimisation to me.
