Today there is hope that we may finally get a definitive answer to this age old question. If you have heard of Fairborn, Ohio, it is most likely because of Wright Patterson Air Force base and the USAF Museum or perhaps you know it as the home of Wright State University. However, these days, lurking behind the education and defense industries is a chicken problem. It seems that one neighborhood in this city has been overrun by about 100 chickens and yes they are definitely crossing the road often with little or no regard for traffic laws.
Over the centuries many philosophers, poets, scientists, thinkers, writers and pundits have attempted to answer this question. Aristotle observed, "It is the nature of chickens to cross the road." Voltaire declared that, "I may not agree with what the chicken crossing the road, but I will defend to the death its right to cross the road." Kant postulated "Chickens, being autonomous beings, chose to cross the road of their own free will." Shakespeare pondered, "To cross or not to cross, that is the question." Mark Twain reminded us that, "the news of the chicken crossing the road has been greatly exaggerated." Einstein wondered whether the chicken crossed the road or the road moved beneath the chicken.
More recently Dr. Seuss' asked "Did the chicken cross the road? Did he cross it with a toad? Yes, the chicken crossed the road, but why it crossed, I've not been told!" The Mythbusters demonstrated that if you fire a frozen chicken out of a cannon; not only will it cross a road, but it will be a lethal projectile in the process. Baseball great Pete Rose did not offer an answer to the question but claims that he never bet on whether or not a chicken crossed the road while Alex Rodriguez adamantly denies that chickens are crossing the road due to PEDs.
Some have tried to turn a profit on this question. Microsoft is planning on releasing eChicken8 for Windows which will not only cross roads, but will lay eggs, organize your important documents and photos and connect you to all social media.
The folks in Fairborn are dealing with chickens crossing the road, chickens on their porches, chickens in their trees, chickens chasing their children and chickens making lots of noise. But most of these folks are not crying fowl, they are sympathetic to the chickens because it is "not their fault." They just want the chickens to find good homes, but admit that they are hard to catch.
Federal representatives from the Department of Agricultural as well as the F.B.I. have been dispatched to watch and observe this unique opportunity. It is also rumored that representatives from Popeyes and KFC have also been seen in the neighborhood.
A scientific side note, it has been observed that there have been no prior reports of hundreds of chicken eggs in the area, so we can deduce without a doubt that indeed the chickens came before the eggs.

Among the allure of New Years is the hope for a new start which is why we make resolutions. One of my resolutions is to confront the monsters in my basement. The problem in my basement was not always that bad, but over the years the monsters have grown and multiplied to the point that one can hardly find a path through them all. Of course there are not literal monsters in my basement; I mean the stuff that has accumulated over the years, the monsters of my past.
For the first couple of decades of my adult, married life, we moved fairly often. My wife used to say that when the baseboards needed to be cleaned, it was time to move. The moving has slowed down and we have been in the same house for more than a decade now. The baseboards have long passed the need for that initial cleaning and as the years have drifted by, the basement has filled up.
It is a daunting task to tackle one's past, to clean out the junk and organize the things that are useful, to decide which sentimental items to hold on to and which to let go of. Even finding a starting point is not easy. I am not, never have been, never will be a handy person, and so I figured the place to start cleaning out the monsters was on the work bench in the basement. My first thought upon sorting through the junk piled on the workbench was wondering how, why and when a person as unhandy as me managed to accumulate such an assortment of nails, screws, nuts and bolts. My second thought was trying to remember if I ever worked for a phone or cable company because it looks like I have enough wire to take care of a small subdivision.
After a day and a couple of trips to take out the trash, the workbench was clear but there is still a lot of work to be done. There are the toys, toys that belong to boys who are no longer boys, toys that have followed me through my life and books filling bookshelves and in boxes as well as an abundance of miscellaneous stuff.
But I have made a start on ridding myself of the monsters in the basement although there is much work that remains. It also occurred to me that this is an exercise that is fitting not just for my basement but for my life as well for over time we let our lives get filled with stuff too. So this year my resolution is to take control of the monsters, those in my basement and those in my life.

Height, Health, and Cognitive Function at Older Ages
Christina Paxson
Research across a number of disciplines has highlighted the role of early life health and circumstance in determining health and economic outcomes at older ages. Nutrition in utero and in infancy may set the stage for the chronic disease burden that an individual will face in middle age (David J. Barker, 1998; Barker et al. 1989; Johann Eriksson et al. 2001). Childhood health may also have significant effects on economic outcomes in adulthood. Collectively, a set of childhood health measures can account for a large fraction of the explained variance in employment and social status observed among a British cohort followed from birth into adulthood (Anne Case, Angela Fertig and Christina Paxson 2005).

Zardari the gunslinger
Amidst the war of words that surrounds PPP Co-chairman Asif Zardari's statement has been hidden the reason for the statement, though the importance accorded the statement is an acknowledgement of the importance of the two organisations it involves, the PPP, whose Chairman made the statement, and the Army, about which the statement was made.
READ MORE: Police arrests five drug peddlers in Peshawar
It was not expected that the leader of any major party would be so foolhardy as to challenge the Army the way Zardari did, and it was particularly not expected from Zardari who has portrayed himself as the upholder of the Politics of Reconciliation. At the same time, this should not disguise the fact that the PPP has never had a very comfortable relationship with the military. It is not free from its shadow, because its founder, Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, rose to national fame under the military, during the Ayub Martial Law. Bhutto replaced the military, and even was briefly Chief Martial Law Administrator, before being overthrown by it in 1977, and hanged in 1979. Gen Ziaul Haq made an alliance with the Pir of Pagaro, which yielded Muhammad Khan Junejo as PM, but his own protégé was Mian Nawaz Sharif, who became PM in 1990, and was overthrown in 1999 by Gen Pervez Musharraf. Mian Nawaz had alternated with Bhutto's daughter, and after her assassination during the 2008 election campaign, the PPP was taken over by her widower, Zardari, who became President that year after Musharraf resigned.
Musharraf had two possible alternatives, Shaukat Aziz, who was his Prime Minister, and Umar Asghar, who was a member of the Cabinet he headed personally, but neither emerged as had Bhutto and Nawaz. However, Imran Khan made his mark, though he had never held office under any martial law. Imran and his PTI have been an interesting study, as they seem to be working to bring about military rule.

It must be realized that the Army has made itself controversial by its interventions in politics, interventions, which have not just meant military coups, but the country having spent more time under military rule than civilian. So Zardari was merely expressing a view of the Army that has currency and has been brought about by its own actions. However, it must also be understood that political forces do not want a neutral military. They want it to be firmly on their side. The Army has had to go back to the barracks because it failed to solve the problems of the country. However, it is almost as if rather than ensure than any party ruled, it would rather rule on its own account. The military manfully kept the regime in office despite protests, but finally carried out a coup when the government asked how it would react to orders necessitating the slaughter of protesters. Similarly, in 1999, there was a coup only after the COAS was sacked, a year after the previous one.
The military would like the politicians to govern, but also be under control. Therefore, anything that makes politicians look bad is stressed by the military. And Imran Khan. Like election irregularities or corruption. It is also noticeable that the USA backs military regimes more than civilian, whether they tilt right (like Mian Nawaz) or left (like Bhutto). That has meant that political parties try to find friendship with the USA. The PPP has been experienced at this, and it cannot escape notice that Zardari's statement has come at a time when the USA does not need Pakistan as much as before in Afghanistan. It is also a time of new challenges, for the military is facing new pressures on Yemen, at a time when Bashar Assad is losing ground in Syria. There is also renewed muscle flexing by the Indian BJP government.
READ MORE: NAB orders to freeze Shehbaz Sharif's 14 companies, assets
Another problem for the USA has been that China has continued to rise, and its inclusion of Pakistan has strong military backing. It would make sense for the USA to use one willing tool against another. Zardari as President worked on the relationship with China, but he was not able to wrest away its direction from the military.
It should be noted that the tiff also comes before the impending local government elections, both in Punjab and Sindh. It seems that Zardari needs to shore up support in Sindh, which does not have a strong service tradition, and where there is a strong current of opinion which sees the military as 'Punjabi' rather than national, a current which feeds into the PPP. The PTI has not done all that well in the local body elections that have taken place, but it remains the main challenger to the MQM in the province's urban areas. It was almost as if Zardari was reminding voters in the party's stronghold of the PTI's nebulous links with the military.
READ MORE: Govt keen towards betterment in health sector: Dr Sania
There is also the factor of Bilawal Bhutto Zardari's return to Pakistan. There has even been some speculation that Zardari's outburst was a means of exiting from politics and handing over the reins to Bilawal. The problem with that is that it is needless. If Zardari was so willing to hand over the party, he would not need any excuse. At the same time, Bilawal has been saddled with those remarks, and mending fences with the military will involve an upfront test of his leadership skills.
However, one result of Zardari's remarks has been the coalescing of the opinion of the military around the COAS. This has happened to the extent that it might well be thought a deliberate attempt to bolster support for him. That feeds into the fighting on the side of the Saudis in Yemen, for if there is to be a decision to join the Saudis, the personal prestige of the COAS will have to be very high.

It should also be noted that so far, the unity of the political class against extra-constitutional deviations has kept the military away. However, this episode may well have created cracks in that unity, and it is now possible that the very challenge that is being posed will cause not just a perception of disunity, but it does not constitute a sufficient reason. The nation seems trapped in a cycle. The military doesn't solve people's problems, so it hands over power to a civilian party. That is one on the left, the left doesn't solve them, then there are elections, and the right wins, but it doesn't solve them either. Then the military comes back.
However, now there are out-of-the-box solutions floating around, which threaten not just both the PPP and the PML-N, but also the military, for if they are implemented, there will be no room for any of these parties.

About Stars for Darfur
Stars for Darfur is a worldwide campaign to rally global voices working towards women's rights, civil liberties and social equality to support our efforts and contribute to the restoration of dignity for genocide survivors and victims in Darfur. This project focuses on the engagement of our communities and features prominent individuals to commemorate those affected by the violence.
Following the success of our virtual 2020 Stars for Darfur Event, Darfur Women Action Group announced the decision to extend the Stars for Darfur campaign. The invitation to be a part of the movement is ongoing to any and all supporters. We encourage movement builders to reach out to friends, family, and their community to join us as we strive to empower affected communities and achieve meaningful inclusion and justice for victims.
The campaign's inception began in 2010 when Italian musician Antonio Esposito and New York-based pianist, composer, and painter Mark Kostabi took an unprecedented initiative to support women empowerment and genocide victims in Darfur. The urgency to help Darfur refugees was set in motion after an eye-opening visit to Darfur. As a result, Antonio Esposito recorded organized a concert and recorded a CD to raise funds for our partner organization, Italians for Darfur to support education for internally displaced children in Darfur. The next year, Antonio Esposito and Mark Kostabi reached out to Darfur Women Action to become our top supporters.
The concept launched from there as an annual fundraising event to raise awareness of the mass-atrocities that have plagued Darfur for nearly two decades. Since 2012, Darfur Women Action Group has hosted charity concerts with live performances and art auctions with paintings by Mark Kostabi as well as handcrafted pieces made by Sudanese women who are eager to see their pieces invested back into their communities. All proceeds that are raised from the event go directly to aiding in the restoration of justice and an end to violence in Darfur.
Stand in solidarity with us by taking one or more of the following actions:
Add your name to our Stars for Darfur campaign to bring more attention to our cause
Organize an event, performance or share artwork to promote the urgency of the crisis and our organization
Write and make public a letter to policymakers and leaders to demand civilian protections in Sudan
Extend an opportunity to Darfur Women Action Group's President, Niemat Ahmadi for an interview on your platform to share her experience as a Darfur survivor, stories of other women and how Darfur Women Action Group is working to empower victims and seek justice to enable men, women, and children to restore their dignity
Publish an article in efforts to increase awareness on the Darfur crisis
Speak out on the Darfur genocide and/or Darfur Women Action Group on social media
Join us by sharing one of the graphics on your social media platform. Don't forget to tag us and tell us about your commitment to reach #JusticeforDarfur.

Just When We Are Safest
Reg Gadney
Just When We Are Safest by Reg Gadney: 'Gadney is one of the most skilled writers around . . . The climax is perfectly paced, with abundant surprises and betrayals. The final scenes of violence are shockingly intense and the last page contains a twist of great brilliance . . . A first class book.' (Sunday Times)
'MI5 will change my life tonight.'
The entry in the secret diary of Mary R. Walker (Metropolitan Police) is all too accurate. When Walker is murdered in a terrorist attack, her lover, Alan Rosslyn, undercover Senior Investigation Officer, is seconded to the hunt for a killer of unparalleled skill and savagery. The deeper Rosslyn penetrates the increasing number of atrocities, the clearer it becomes that the enemy is not only terrorism but the rivalries and corruption within the reformed and reorganized Security Services.

The Saudi public prosecutor said on Thursday it would seek the death penalty for five suspects in the murder inside the country's Istanbul consulate on October 2nd.
It did not provide names but at least two are senior officials closely associated with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
Riyadh maintains that Prince Mohammed had nothing to do with the murder, even as Turkey and some Western allies, including US president Donald Trump, have said ultimate responsibility lies with him as the country's de facto ruler.
Changing Saudi accounts of the murder, including initial denials, have been met with scepticism abroad.
Tens of thousands of worshippers at Mecca's Grand Mosque and the Prophet's Mosque in Medina, Khashoggi's hometown, joined in prayers for the deceased, through the imams did not name him.

The State of Gaming
There's no secret at home that my gaming habits are shifting drastically. With balancing time between work, writing, art, and other hobbies…sitting down to play a 40-80 hour video game simply takes way too much time. Despite my attempts to cut down my gaming into small manageable chunks, the release of many big titles this past year, my backlog has grown into astronomical proportions.
Then last week happened. After several particular stressful weeks at work, I came home eager to continue my game of Assassin's Creed Unity; but the bugs and glitches reminded me of a sour experience with EA last year (during their SimCity debacle). It had everything going for it: Great setting, great story potential, and refined gameplay. Yet it was marred by bad design decisions (microtransactions?), glitches, bland story, copy/pasted characters. As much as I wanted to enjoy the game, I simply could not.
It's easy to find yourself immersed in the world of gaming. Most of us have grown up in an era where consoles have grown from a faddish electronic children's device in the 1980's to a competitive form of immersive entertainment, dominating even the film industry. Conventions such as PAX, E3, Tokyo Game Show, among others are always a hot topic in the tech world, and your rife to see cosplayers dressed in costumes from Bioshock, Mario, Zelda, and Final Fantasy.
Yet I've grown somehow disenchanted with all of that. Despite the inescapable presence of the regular Steam Sales, I traded my powerhouse Asus laptop for an inferior Apple. While most of that decision was so I could apply simplicity to my workflow, I found my interests in gaming simply pressed more towards consoles and mobile devices.
Yet the hype doesn't hit me as it used to:
Smash Bros for the Wii U – Mehh…
Pokemon Alpha Omega – More of the same…
Farcry 4 – Ehh I'll skip it…
Borderlands the Presequel – Another Borderlands shooter
GTA V (for PS4) – Didn't I just buy this last year?
Then there have been a few titles I've been surprised about. Dragon Age Inquisition was a game I swore I would never get, especially given the previous title's blandness, and Bioware's association with EA…but it's surprisingly one of the best games this year. Bayonetta 2, Project Diva F 2nd, Samurai Warriors 4, Persona Q, and a few other quirky Japanese titles are also sparking my interest. Perhaps it's just that they are different than the mold of domestic titles that have come out.
More and more, I've been shifting my attention towards mobile platforms. Perhaps it's the low software prices that grab me, the many different functions of the iOS that push it beyond just gaming…but with games such as Monument Valley, Baldur's Gate, and a few "Free to Play" high quality titles such as Terra Battle or Brave Frontier…I just don't feel the urge to go out and splurge $60 on a gaming experience when I could enjoy a "casual" gaming experience for $5 or $10.
Will there be a quality title such as Dragon Age Inquisition or Bayonetta 2 on an iPad? Probably not…but in the meantime I'll be spending less on disappointments such as Assassin's Creed Unity and more on simple games I can play in the toilet at work.

Home > Features > A New Voice
Clifford Hughes interview
Friday May 17
Jackie Macadam meets a minister who has overcome the trauma of losing his voice in a battle with cancer.
"I rather fear that people 'out there' see me, and people like me who have a wide range of communication disabilities, in what I call '3-D'. Can't speak? Must be Deaf, Daft or Drunk! It happens, I promise you."
The Rev Clifford Hughes is talking to me about his ongoing battle with cancer – a disease that has played a fundamental part in making him the man he is today.
Clifford breathes through a stoma (a hole) in his throat. His larynx was removed around ten years ago when a laryngeal carcinoma was diagnosed, a cancer that brought a shocking and unexpected end to three voice-centred careers, as teacher, singer and preacher.
Clifford had always been a singer – he was a member of the Choir of King's College Cambridge, then a professional lyric tenor before he entered the Ministry and was called to St Mary's Church in Haddington.
His cancer was discovered after a member of his congregation, a transplant surgeon, expressed concern about his voice.
"Radiotherapy failed, and I was taken in for a laryngectomy operation. When I came round afterwards I couldn't even whisper. My wife, Kathleen was my first visitor. I tried to lean on one elbow and write a greeting: 'Good Journey?' And we both broke down and wept. I was in despair. It was, for me, a bereavement. My voice had been my life; I felt that if I can't communicate – I might as well be dead.
"My Speech and Language Therapist, Gary, was a great encourager and introduced me to a wonderful lady called Peggy who had gone through the same procedure a few years earlier. She spoke with a wonderful West Calder accent and I realised that when I talked again I would still be discernibly me, and not some strange robotic or burping noise."
"During the time I was learning to speak, my two grandchildren, Calum and Iona, were born. In a sense we learned to speak together and what a joyous experience with lots of laughter that became!"
Clifford now gives talks to health professionals and students and speaks to others who have gone through the same operation.
"All through my learning to cope, I never doubted God's love for me. I realise now that he was giving me the opportunity to use my 'sexy new voice' (in the words of one of the ladies at St Mary's) to champion the cause of people with communication difficulties, effectively a Hidden Disability.
"One thing I really miss though is not being able to laugh out loud. I believe in the therapeutic value of laughter – it releases endorphins and relieves stress, as well as giving one's body great gulps of fresh oxygen with every breath. One friend who had been treated for breast cancer challenged me to write a limerick about mine, so I had a go:
"From deep down inside my oesophagus
Erupt rumblings and burping cacophonous.
Is it merely a question
Of acute indigestion
Or a plot in the local sarcophagus?"

Q: Magnetic Field and Flow of Vector Potential I am sorry, when my question is not really concrete, but here we go.
Consider the Hamiltonian function
$$H(x, \xi) = \frac{1}{2m}\bigl|\xi - eA(x)\bigr|^2$$
corresponding to a charged particle in a magnetic field, where $A$ is a vector potential (i.e. some vector field), $e$ is the charge and $m$ is the mass.
The classical trajectories in $x(t)$ satisfy the second order equation
$$m\ddot{x} = e \,\bigl(\dot{x} \times \mathrm{curl}\,A(x)\bigr),$$
In particular, if we replace $A(x)$ by $\tilde{A}(x) := A(x) + \nabla f(x)$ for some function $f$, we obtain the same classical trajectories, because $\mathrm{curl}\,\tilde{A} = \mathrm{curl}\,A$.
My question is: Let $\Theta_t(x)$ be the flow of the vector field $A$. Does $\Theta_t(x)$ have any physical significance (classical or quantum mechanical) related to this problem? If yes what is it?
The answer seems to be "no" at first glance, because the flow does clearly depend very much on the function $f$ above, which on the other hand does not play a role for the classical trajectory. But is there more to it?

A: In my course of electromagnetism i learned that the vector potential can be interpreted as a quantity of motion per unit of charge, or as a potential energy per unit of charge and unit of speed, at least in the case of stationary currents, because in that case the magnetic force is
\begin{eqnarray}
 \boldsymbol{F}&=&q\boldsymbol{v}\times\boldsymbol{B}=q\boldsymbol{v}\times\left(\nabla\times\boldsymbol{A}\right)=q\left[\nabla\left(\boldsymbol{v}\cdot\boldsymbol{A}\right)-\left(\boldsymbol{v}\cdot\nabla\right)\boldsymbol{A}\right]\\&=&-\nabla\left(-q\boldsymbol{v}\cdot\boldsymbol{A}\right)+\frac{d}{dt}\left(-q\boldsymbol{A}\right)=-\nabla U+\frac{d\boldsymbol{p}}{dt}
\end{eqnarray}
and then
\begin{eqnarray}
 U&\equiv&-q\boldsymbol{v}\cdot\boldsymbol{A}\\
 \boldsymbol{p}&\equiv&-q\boldsymbol{A}
\end{eqnarray}
and the interpretation follows from these expressions. A more profound discussion about the meaning of the vector potential and it's reality can be found in the Feynman Lectures on Physics vol. 2

A: Since $\vec A$ can't be observed directly, I don't see why it's integral curves (manifestation of flow) could be observed either. It is this "unphysicality" that makes gauge transformations possible. After all, it would not make sense to be able to gauge transform a physical quantity. It would be completely arbitrary!
As for the equation of motion, recall the definition of the magnetic field:
$$\vec B=\operatorname{curl}\vec A$$
The thing that we observe is the flow $\phi_t$ of $\vec B$. Remember the thing you did in high school or middle school with the iron shavings and a magnet? Those lines you saw were the integral curves of $\phi_t$.

Should I feed a Prescription Diet or a Premium Quality Dog or Cat Food?
So - what exactly is a prescription food? Any products that are intended for the treatment or prevention of a disease in animals have to be licensed as a medicine. As there is no requirement to licence veterinary or prescription foods, the description is misleading.
Veterinary and Prescription Diets™ were once a rare recommendation from the vet - a last resort to try and help out a very ill dog. In theory the dog would receive a 'prescription' for a medical food following a specific diagnosis; the vet would then monitor the effect this new food was having in the dog and his condition.
Better knowledge & extensive research has brought about a revolution in terms of new foods to treat animal illness. However, the majority of those pet owners who telephone us believe that they are paying for a 'medicine' within these special diets for the treatment or prevention of his condition. This is not true.
Although Veterinary and Prescription Diets™ are sold primarily through veterinary practices they are not medicines and there are no legal restrictions on their sale. They are just dog foods designed to assist a specific organ system or function. These diets are formulated to address a specific medical concern and are not intended to maintain long-term health in dogs of all ages, sizes and breeds.
The most common Digestible Care Prescription Diet is recommend for all sorts of gastrointestinal disorders from colitis to pancreatitis, IBD to bloat. According to the manufacturers, these diets are ideal for these sorts of problems because of their high digestibility, low fat content and high level of fibre. The foods also contain electrolytes to help replace losses caused by vomiting and diarrhoea and antioxidants to neutralise free radicals.
The marketing of Prescription Diets make it sound as this is the only solution but actually there's really nothing unique about them. All FourFriends foods are highly digestible, some are low fat and high fibre. Electrolytes (sodium, potassium, chloride, and bicarbonate) are found in abundance in the Aloe Vera content of all our premium foods. If you analyse the ingredients of Prescription Diets, many of these foods are certainly not the best quality or value for money.
Most Prescription diets contain ingredients such as Maize, Maize Gluten Meal, Digest, Animal Fats and Salt. Maize has become increasingly associated with dietary intolerance and actually causing digestive upsets.
Dogs are primarily designed for digesting meat. Meat should be listed first within the food composition.
If your dog is eating any of the ingredients most commonly associated with allergens eliminate these first. The common ones are wheat, maize, dairy, soya & beef, so this is a good place to start. All FourFriends foods are naturally healthy and list meat as the primary ingredient and contain Aloe Vera. This is a well known botanical plant, used for centuries around the world. Aloe Vera is crammed full of amino acids, vitamins and minerals making it one of nature's most effective cleansers. It is especially effective in the cleansing of the dog's or cat's intestine. It is also great as an anti-inflammatory. Aloe Vera is rich in minerals like calcium, magnesium, zinc, iron, selenium and potassium it is excellent for the skin and coat.
All of the FourFriends Premium Quality foods are based on high meat content, making them a natural dog and cat food. We only use muscle meat.They don't contain any ingredients that could aggravate an allergy prone dog.
If your pet is using a Prescription Diet™ do give one of the FourFriends team a call for advice. We will advise if there is a alternative suitable natural dog or cat food for your dog or cat.
Ever wondered which breeds are considered good to have as a first time dog owner?

March 19, 2014 February 25, 2020 The Guardsman	protest, charles innis, khaled sayed
What did you think of the on-campus protest last Thursday?
"I support it. I am in support of taking out the one singular overseer of everything and turning it back into the old democratic—when they had the board members. So yeah, I am in support.," said business-invest student Jordan Swift, 25.
"I unfortunately don't have that strong of an opinion on it. I got the email about it and then I saw the kid that got beat up, and that's what made me feel really bad cause I've seen the police and I've seen him and he's so tiny and he's really frail. … It seemed like a bully situation. I've been to one of the protests before and the reason why I don't keep track of them anymore is because I feel like they are futile. There is nothing that comes out of it and it doesn't really feel like it's a back and forth conversation," said psychology student Jillian Silva Pereira, 24.
"I believe the SFPD and the campus police handled it very badly. If they can't handle that kind of a high stress situation then they don't deserve to be at that scene or possibly even wear the badge themselves," said criminal justice student David Terry, 20.
"I think it's a good thing. You need to do it. People who are in the strong position, they don't understand those who are suffering. We need to stand up. It's a good thing," said music student Yung Sung Cho, 28.
"To be honest, it was a little bit more hectic than planned, obviously. It pretty much backfired and didn't go as planned," said graphic design student Doug Oromski, 19.

(Birdsfoot Trefoil (Lotus corniculatus) - 01) Birdsfoot trefoil produces clusters of yellow flowers from June to September. According to the literature, the height of the birdsfoot trefoil ranges from 6 to 24 inches. We have found that it easily adapts to roadside cutting and will produce flower clusters only 2 inches high. To us, this is all part of God's way of preserving His creation.
(Birdsfoot Trefoil (Lotus corniculatus) - 03) We can observe the relative size of the birdsfoot trefoil in comparison to the blades of grass growing in their midst. Just to the left of the center of the photo, we can see a cluster of buds, and just below them, the beginnings of buds. These wildflowers can generally be found north of a line from Virginia to Ohio.

← Sunlight
The [[Sun]] is on average 228 million km away from [[Mars]]. '''Sunlight''' takes 13 minutes to travel from the Sun to Mars with a power of 589 W/m2. It is not as bright as on [[Earth]] (1367 W/m2). No one has ever seen it, but it probably gives the impression of dawn or dusk during daytime. Colonists should have this impression only for a few days until their visual cortex adapts. [[Image:sunset.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Sunset photographed by Mars Rover Spirit]] The Martian [[atmosphere]] does not filter sunlight as efficiently as on Earth, leaving too much UV ray and high energy particles to reach the surface. Life is considered not possible without additional shielding against [[cosmic radiation]] (perhaps highlighting the need for an [[Early warning system (solar radiation)|early warning system]]) and parts of the [[solar radiation|solar spectrum]]. The amount of usable energy on the surface is lower due to the rotation of the planet and the angle of the plain. Also, reflection and absorption ([[albedo]]) at the atmosphere must be considered. On Earth the annual usable energy per m2 is about 1000 kWh in Middle Europe and 2400 kWh in the Sahara. Sunlight can be used for [[electricity|power generation]] by [[solar panel]]s and for growing [[plants]] in [[greenhouse]]s. ==Facts and figures== "in the UK we receive an average power of about 125 Wm-2 whilst the Sahara Desert gets 250-300 Wm-2" <ref>[http://cms.ises.org/uploads2/SSF/pictures/materials/307/solarrad.PDF the SOLAR ENERGY society: Solar Radiation - Distribution and Availability of Solar Energy]</ref>. With 24*365 hours per year this results in an average usable energy per m2 and year of 1095 kWh in the UK and 2190-2628 kWh in the Sahara. The Mars solar constant is 590 W/m3, while the Earth solar constant is 1350 W/m2. So Mars gets about half the sunlight Earth gets. The Martian atmosphere is also dusty, and the usable energy at the Mars equator should be about 1100-1300 kWh per year per m2. ==Open issues== *What are the psychological and physiological effects of the permanent dim light on [[human]]s, [[animals]] and plants? *Can artificial lighting compensate for very long stays? ==References== <references /> [[Category:Sources]]

VAMOS: accessing abandoned mine sites with underwater robots
EU project VAMOS is designing and building an underwater mining system to take advantage of minerals trapped in flooded mines. How does the system work and what could it mean for accessing resources that have been cut off?

Many mining operations use a series of pumps to ensure that, despite precipitation and infiltrating groundwater, mines stay dry. But once these are switched off the water retakes them, flooding the mined voids. Across Europe there are 30,000 flooded mine sites, most of them abandoned once resources began to dwindle or it became too costly to keep the site safe and dry as works moved deeper below the water table.
The European Union's Viable Alternative Mine Operating System (VAMOS) project aims to prove the use of underwater mining robots as an effective means of accessing abandoned, flooded, inland mine sites.
"Stef Kapusniak and other industry mining and dredging experts developed the concept and secured EU funding to enable the project to take place," explains Paul Arthur, SMD project manager and VAMOS work package leader. "The EU acknowledged that there are a large number of 'flooded' quarries and mines across the EU and neighbouring countries that could be viably exploited using this kind of technology."
Established in 2015, VAMOS is a Horizon 2020 programme made up of a consortium of 17 partners from around Europe. Designed to last 42 months, VAMOS intends to help provide access to mine sites that have become attractive due to resource scarcities, changes in demand and value, and Europe's increasing reliance on imports.
Currently, the EU represents 25%-30% of global demand for metals while it only produces 3%; mineral imports currently stand at 200 million tonnes (Mt) per year. VAMOS hopes to reduce this gap, easing imports and ensuring its supply of metals in a safe and sustainable way.
Growing reliance on technology has led to a boom in demand for minerals used in high-tech products, such as rare earth metals, PGMs, antimony, germanium, gallium, niobium, indium, beryllium, cobalt, tantalum and tungsten, for all of which Europe relies entirely on imports. Alongside is a greater need for copper, zinc and nickel, of which, production is limited in Europe.
This changing demand for minerals together with improved mining techniques has led to the reassessment of many deposits, and it seems that remaining high-grade ore bodies could help make a dent in the annual imports record.
VAMOS – underwater mining vehicles roll out
VAMOS enables remote operation of underwater mining vehicles (MV), which are specifically designed so as not to affect the local groundwater. The MVs, currently at prototype stage, are controlled by a programmable logic controller similar to those used by offshore oil and gas companies in remotely operated vehicles. Cutter-heads are used to dislodge and collect the ore before pumping it as slurry to the surface. MVs support exploration, working with the VAMOS automated, unmanned vehicle which assists with positioning, navigation and situational awareness, as well as conducting mine site surveys.
"The system is designed to recover product from flooded mines/quarries using cutting and dredging technology on board a tracked vehicle which is launched to/from a launch and recovery vessel (LARV) and transports material out of the water body using flexible riser pipes," says Arthur. "The MV is operated remotely from a control cabin on land via an umbilical system, which also transfers data and images from the underwater surveillance system."
Above the mining vehicles, on top of the water, sits the support barrage, the LARV. The LARV acts as an interface between the pit floor and the control cabin. Its umbilical attachment is an armour-covered cord that provides power and fibre-optic connection, while the hose is used to pump the slurry out of the mine and return wastewater back. Once the slurry arrives onshore it is dewatered, the ore retained and the water replaced in the pit.
Using MVs at flooded mines has the potential to minimise the associated environmental and social concerns. The use of cutter-heads means there's no blast noise and vibration is kept to a minimum; there's less waste as materials do not have to be stripped from the mine to reach the ore body, and groundwater levels are not disturbed by aquifer draw-down, as no pumping means water levels remain the same.
The water itself provides various benefits, such as helping lift the rocks to the surface, eradicating dust, lubricating equipment and cooling motors. By working with the water in submerged pits, the technology can not only mitigate the problems of safety, cost and increased energy usage created by flooding, but benefit from the water itself.
Demonstrating its potential
In October 2017, VAMOS put on a demonstration project using a scaled down system. "The purpose of the demonstration was to test the operability and viability of a prototype submerged mining system" says Arthur. "At 24Te dry weight, the MV is around 25% scale of what we would anticipate a full-size machine to be."
Imerys' Whitehill Yeo pit at the Lee Moor mine in Devon, UK, was chosen for the demonstration.
"A few of our closed and flooded kaolin quarries in Devon and Cornwall were considered and Whitehill Yeo pit at Lee Moor, Devon, was deemed to be suitable and selected," says Guy Mayhew, Imerys UKP deputy non-operational areas manager. "The pit is a flooded kaolin quarry, which ceased operation in 2008. The kaolin, also known as china clay, is a decomposed form of granite and is being used in countless industrial applications. The VAMOS team expected to encounter weathered granite in various grades in this pit."
The VAMOS team invited advisory board members and other guests to see the mining vehicle in action, where they were able to watch from the control room, which was fitted with a virtual reality human machine interface allowing activities to be constantly monitored. The laser induced breakdown spectrometer (LIBS) provided the project with real-time grade control and mineralogy information. LIBS has already been perfected for use with several commonly found minerals, and its range will be further expanded.
"The consortium should be extremely proud of their efforts. What they have managed to achieve with the VAMOS system and its integration of new technologies is very impressive," said National Oceanography Centre geologist Bramley Murton.
VAMOS and the demonstration at Lee Moor were made possible through European cooperation. Amongst other contributing companies, the LARV was built by DAMEN Dredging from the Netherlands, while INESC developed the positioning, navigation and awareness system in Portugal, and Soil Machine Dynamics completed the MV and control system design and assembly in the UK.
The demonstration was a success and mining activity continued for a week. "Productivity will be calculated from the data collected during the trials and extrapolated to evaluate commercial viability," says Arthur.
VAMOS has a second demonstration taking place later this year in Vares, Bosnia & Herzegovina, where the company will test the technology at a water depth of around 120m and with relatively hard ground conditions. The data gleaned from the first run will be used in VAMOS's continued research and design, making further improvements as it works towards the next demonstration.

Q: how to change xml tag format like  to  I have a xml file. As per my requirement I need to update empty tag such as I need to change <xml></xml> to <xml/>. Is it possible to change the tags like that..
Thank you...

A: var xmlString="<xml></xml> <toto></toto>";
var properString=System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.Replace(xmlString, "<([^>]+)></[^>]+>", "<$1/>");

EDIT: explanation!
@Neil Knight has already provided, in a comment, a link to Wikipedia explaining the concept of regular expressions. The part specific to .NET is available here: .NET Framework Regular Expressions
A starting XML tag can be matched with the following regular expression: <[^>]+>. The [^>]+ part can be read as: all characters that are not ">", with at least one character (so <> is not matched but <a> is). An ending XML tag can be matched with the same kind of expression: </[^>]+> (note the slash after the first character). So the regular expression <[^>]+></[^>]+> matches empty tags such as <foo></foo> (but be careful, it also matches <foo></bar> which is not valid XML code).
What we need now is to isolate the characters between "<" and ">". For that, we use parenthesis: <([^>]+)>. This instructs the regular expression engine to capture the matched characters. Each group of parenthesis can be referred later in a replacement operation by the "$x" string (where "x" is a number: "$1" for the first matching parenthesis, "$2" for the second one, etc.).
So, with a call to Regex.Replace(xmlString, "<([^>]+)></[^>]+>", "<$1/>"), <foo></foo> will be replaced by <foo/> ("foo" characters are captured, and "$1" is replaced by them). <foo></bar> will also be replaced by <foo/>.
I hope that this explanation is enough for @Felix K. ;o)
(my English is not so good, that's why I did not provide many details)

A: if (someElement.innerText == string.Empty)
{
    someElement.innerText = null;

Last night's Democratic debate was one of the worst examples of molehill politics so far in this election cycle. Charles Gibson and George Stephanopolous decided that Americans are more interested in Obama's "Bitter" remark, Rev. Wright, Clinton's trip to Bosnia, and whether a candidate wears a flag pin than issues like Iraq, the economy, and gas prices. They didn't even touch healthcare or the environment.

Hutcherson has Panthers off to a hot start
By Lance Catchings
The Liberty Hill varsity baseball team rolled through their pre-season scrimmage schedule and kept that momentum going through to the start of the regular season.
The Panthers are off to a hot 5-1 start under first year head coach Steven Hutcherson and only look to be just getting started.
Tuesday night the Panthers dispatched of a talented Navarro team 8-3. The game was called during the bottom of the fifth inning due to thick fog.
Kory Schmidt led the team on the night with two hits, three RBI's and scored one run.
"I was just going to the plate looking for my fastball to go after and be aggressive in the count," Schmidt said. "We are playing good baseball right now and I feel like this is just the beginning of a good thing going for us."
Liberty Hill went down 1-0 in the top of the first but quickly responded with three runs in the bottom of the inning to take a 3-1 lead and never relinquished. Schmidt hit a two run RBI double and on the next at bat Cole Alexander hit an RBI triple to give Liberty Hill the lead. Liberty Hill picked a run in the bottom of the second, two in the bottom of the third and one in the fourth and fifth innings before the game was called. The Panthers scored eight runs on nine hits while committing only one error on the night.
Hutcherson seemed pleased with the team performance after the game.
"They scratch out a run early and it had some to do with us not taking care of business and getting off the field with two outs and getting back in the dugout," Hutcherson said. "To our credit we came in offensively and were able to scratch out a couple runs and from that point were really able to settle in and start playing the game. High school players will always have a little bit of nerves in the top of the first inning. By the bottom of the first we had them under control and started playing the game a little bit."
Ryan Flake started the game on the mound and pitched four innings allowing four hits and one run, while striking out three. Matthew Thompson pitched the fifth inning allowing two hits and two runs. Defensively the Panthers looked sharp making routine plays look easy.
"Defensively we had more plays to make on the ground which was a good thing because of the weather," he said.
"We kept the ball down, got ground balls and got out of innings. Pitching wise Flake just does what he does. He goes out and throws strikes and keeps us in games. He didn't want to come out but its early in the season and I want to keep his pitch count low. Matt struggled with command, but he will wiggle into a jam and wiggle right back out. That is huge for his confidence going forward to get guys on but still get us back in the dugout."
In the season opener Feb. 20, Liberty Hill defeated Boerne 6-0.
"It was a good win for us," he said. "We put the ball in play and ran good bases. Our pitching was good that night, we threw a lot of strikes. Every time we had a play to make defensively, we made it. It was one of those well-rounded baseball games where we did almost everything correctly. Our guys were excited and there were some nerves, but we played fast."
This past weekend the Panthers competed at the Marble Falls tournament and came away with a 3-1 record. Liberty Hill dropped its first game against Second Baptist 9-5 then followed it up with three straight wins. Liberty Hill defeated Boerne 11-0, Austin Lanier 6-5 and closed out with a 14-3 victory over La Grange.
"Against Second Baptist we kind of flipped from the things that had made us successful," he said. "We walked a few guys, made a couple errors and hit a few batters. That really snowballed on us and we did not play a clean game. We ended up in more of a battle than we thought it would be and it was too little too late when we started coming back."
In their third game of the tournament Liberty Hill showed how much fight it had by pulling out the 6-5 win over Lanier.
"Lanier jumped out to a lead on us and thank goodness we didn't wait forever to try and come back," he said
"We probably dug ourselves in a hole that if we were playing someone a little closer in talent level to us, we might lose that game. We stuck with it and battled. We tied it in the sixth inning and ended up walking off with it in the seventh inning."
Liberty Hill will travel to West for a three-day tournament Feb. 28-March 2. They will play Waco Robinson, Palmer, Trinity Valley and West over the duration of the tourney. Liberty Hill was knocked out of the area round of the playoffs last season by Waco Robinson.
Robinson will be our big test and the best team we have played so far this season," he said.
"Our focus has to be on staying consistent. We cannot have the ups and downs this season. We need to find a way to be good every time we go out on the field. We have to maintain our level of consistency on offense because I believe our defense and pitching will be consistent."
Tuesday the Panthers are on the road against Elgin for a 7 p.m. matchup.

Arndt Freytag von Loringhoven (born 12 November 1956 in Munich) is a German diplomat and chemist. He formerly served as Germany's ambassador to Poland. Loringhoven was deputy director of Germany's Federal Intelligence Service (BND) between 2007 and 2010. He served as NATOs first chief of intelligence (1 December 2016 – 2019). He was also Germany's ambassador to the Czech Republic and served as a diplomat at the German Embassy in Moscow.

Loringhoven was born in Munich on 12 November 1956. He is the son of the late German lieutenant-general Bernd Freytag von Loringhoven. He is an Oxford graduate and completed his PhD studies at the Max Planck Institute for Biochemistry in Martinsried in 1984. After joining the German Foreign Ministry in 1986, he served as a diplomat at embassies in Paris and Moscow and he has also held several positions in the Foreign Ministry including Director of European Affairs.

In May 2017 he attended a panel debate about the counter-terrorism strategy of the NATO Civilian Intelligence Committee in the Croatian town of Opatija, where he also met with Croatian president Kolinda Grabar-Kitarović. In December 2017, he spoke at the Prague Insecurity Conference, saying that "hybrid threats" from Russia and terrorist groups were increasing. He argued that Russia was attempting to regain some of its waning influence in Europe using "hybrid tactics" which included the influencing of elections, cyberattacks and dissemination of fake news propaganda.

In August 2020, it was reported that Loringhoven had been appointed as the German ambassador to Poland by Heiko Maas, the Foreign Minister of Germany. Poland took additional time to consider giving him agrément. It was disputed if the reason is because of Loringhoven's father's participation in the German invasion of Poland (although both Loringhoven and his father repudiated Nazism and extremism) or whether the conflict was due to Polish opposition to German-owned media operating in their country. Finally, on 15 September 2020, he presented his letter of credence to the President Andrzej Duda.
