«Із життя Остапа Вишні» — український документальний ігровий фільм режисера Ярослава Ланчака про страждання Остапа Вишні у засланні до Сибіру.

Опис
У 1991 році на кіностудії ім. Олександра Довженка було знято фільм «Із житія Остапа Вишні». А за 47 років до цього, в 1944 році, Олександр Довженко вніс ім'я Остапа Вишні в список політичних ув'язнених, про амністію яких він просив Сталіна.

Фільм розповідає про історію кохання, гідну декабристів. Історію молодого українського письменника-сатирика Павла Михайловича Губенка та актриси Варвари Олексіївни Маслюченко.

У 1933 році відомий письменник-фейлетоніст Остап Вишня, подібно до багатьох людей свого часу, був заарештований за безпідставним звинуваченням і засуджений на 10 років таборів. Дружина Остапа, Варвара, пише дружині Максима Горького і домагається права жити поруч з чоловіком.

Перший рік життя близько табору на Кольському півострові подружжя живе від побачення до побачення, але потім Вишню переводять в інше місце, де заборонено навіть листування. Судячи з фільму — так проходять п'ять років. Варвару з донькою виселяють з Архангельська, вони переїжджають в Рязанську область.

Остап поневіряється по таборах, не раз опиняючись на межі життя і смерті, але знайомиться з чудовими людьми. Саме в цей час він пише у щоденниках: «Якби не зустрінуті прекрасні люди, чудові лікарі, — мене б і не було вже на світі».

У 1955 році Остапа Вишню реабілітували, а в 1956 році він помер у Києві від серцевого нападу.

У фільм включені унікальні кадри документальної зйомки прощання киян з улюбленим письменником.

If you are using the Batch Apex to operate over the records within your Salesforce org, then there isn't any additional code required apart from the one explained in the developer guide. But since the batch is supposed to operate on records that are external to the Salesforce (i.e. Jira), we need some extra classes which are explained hereafter.
Now to make the start method return an Iterable<sObject> type we have to create a class say IssueIterableImplementation that implements the iterable interface. This interface has a method named iterator whose return type is Iterator<sObject>.
So similarly to have a return type of Iterator<sObject> we need to create a class that implements the iterator interface which in turn has two methods to be implemented.
// Code to iterate over the issues list and do the desired operations.
That is it !!! Now this batch class can be scheduled to run every one hour or more than that using Cron expression based upon how frequently the issues are updated in your Jira. Below given is the sample apex code that can be executed in the developer console to schedule our batch apex run every hour. Once you run the code you can confirm the schedule by checking the Monitor - Jobs - Scheduled Jobs section.
If you face any issues with the Batch Apex Class for Salesforce-Jira Sync then please feel free to write me or comment below. Thank You.

How Get a Visa to Spain
How to Travel in Spain
The Requirements for Travel to Spain
Alyssa Owens, Leaf Group Updated November 28, 2017
Travel to Spain for Cheap
How to Get a Visa to Go to Europe
For U.S. travelers going to Spain, having the right travel documentation ensures a smooth encounter at the border. At a minimum you must hold a valid U.S. passport, even if you're entering Spain from another European Union state. Depending on exactly what brings you to Spain and how long you're planning to stay, you might also need a visa.
U.S. Passport
You always need a valid U.S. passport for international travel to and from the United States. But don't forget to check the expiration date: Spain is one of the 24 European nations that are party to the Schengen agreement, which mandates that the passports of all U.S. visitors must be valid for at least three months beyond the end of their stay in Spain. Also, if the passport expires before you return to the United States, getting back into the country will be more difficult.
When You Need a Visa
Under the Schengen agreement, U.S. citizens traveling to Spain for business or tourist purposes may remain in the country for up to 90 days without a visa. If you intend to be in Spain for longer than 90 days, you'll need to apply for a visa. If you plan to study at a university or work during your stay you must apply for a visa, even if the visit is shorter than 90 days.
Customs and border patrol officials across the globe have cracked down on international kidnappings. So if you're traveling to a country like Spain with children who are not your own, the U.S. Department of State recommends bringing along a notarized letter of permission from the child's parent(s) or legal guardian. The letter should include the names of the parent(s) and their home addresses and telephone numbers.
Biographical and Travel Information
Before landing or disembarking in Spain, you may be asked to fill out a form detailing your biographical and travel information. Most of this information is already in your passport, but you'll also need to list your home address, your planned method of travel, and the address of the hotel or house where you'll be staying in Spain. If you have not yet booked accommodations, list the city you plan to visit. The more specific you can be, the better. For example, if you don't know where you will be boarding in Barcelona, but think it will be in the Gràcia area, list Gràcia on the form.

I also grabbed some new games. Baba is You is... confusing. A completely accurate description would run the risk of sounding like the 100% Objective Review: Final Fantasy XIII. ("You play as characters. The player characters are the characters you control. Your goal is to attain the goal.") Anyway, that was interesting and distracting, so I'll also be playing that for a while.

Washington: The Donald Trump administration wants to make changes in the existing H-1B provisions for it to play a better role in attracting highly skilled foreign workers as opposed to the what it has now evolved into an "outsourcing" role, the White House said on Thursday.
He finds that a very positive part of the overall immigration," White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy Coordination Chris Liddell told a Washington audience on Thursday.
During the Washington Post's live discussion on new technology, when asked about the president's thoughts on H1B immigration, Liddell said, "He (Trump) has talked about merit immigration, clearly that (H-1B) fits in merit immigration."
At the same time, he acknowledged that legislatively, the issue might get caught up in a border discussion. A former executive at Microsoft and General Motors, Liddell is tasked with overseeing and coordinating President Trump's policy process.
The Trump administration, he said, would love to find ways to change that as more people are coming out with PhDs in the tech sector.
This is an incredibly constructive part of the immigration debate, which, unfortunately doesn't get a lot of focus, he said. Liddell said President Trump has repeatedly spoken about merit-based reform as part of the immigration platform. The Silicon Valley and the tech industry should welcome that as a concept, he said.

Vaccination Programmes: Epidemiology, Monitoring, Evaluation
Vaccination programmes are of vital importance to public health and are present in virtually every country in the world. By promoting an understanding of the diverse effects of vaccination programmes, this textbook discusses how epidemiologic methods can be used to study, in real life, their impacts, benefits and risks.
Written by expert practitioners in an accessible and concise style, this book is interspersed with practical examples which allow readers to acquire understanding through real-life data and problems. Part I provides an overview of basic concepts in vaccinology, immunology, vaccination programmes, infectious disease transmission dynamics, the various impacts of vaccination programmes and their societal context. Part II covers the main field tools used for the epidemiological evaluation of vaccination programmes: monitoring coverage and attitudes towards vaccination, surveillance of vaccine-preventable diseases and pathogens, seroepidemiological studies, methods to assess impact and outbreak investigation. Part III is dedicated to vaccine effectiveness and its assessment. Part IV includes an overview of the potential risks of vaccination and how to study these. Lastly, Part V deals with methods for an integrated assessment of benefits and risks of vaccination programmes. Suitable for professionals working in public health, epidemiology, biology and those working in health economics and vaccine development, Vaccination Programmes also serves as a textbook for postgraduate students in public health, epidemiology and infectious diseases.
The book is aimed at all those involved in the many aspects of vaccination programmes, including public health professionals and epidemiologists. Its primary target audiences are master and doctoral students in infectious disease epidemiology and public health, post-doctoral participants of field epidemiology training programmes and public health professionals working in the post-implementation epidemiological evaluation of vaccines and vaccination programmes.


As a result of the soil samples he took this past summer, Leon Knirk is working with Farm Journal Associate Field Agronomist Missy Bauer to take proactive steps to address corn nematode issues this year.
Surprised is the word that best describes Leon Knirk's reaction when he saw the results from 22 soil samples he pulled from his corn fields this past summer.
Every sample contained the microscopic pests known as corn nematodes.
"They can take a chunk out of your corn yield potential without you knowing it," says Knirk, who farms near Quincy in south-central Michigan.
Yield reductions of less than 10 bu. per acre are typical of corn nematode pressure, though losses can reach 100% in extreme cases.
Based on the laboratory risk index used, 68% of the samples from Knirk's corn fields contained nematode levels and/or species presenting moderate risk levels; only 32% of the samples were low-risk.
Farm Journal Associate Field Agronomist Missy Bauer adds that 100% of Knirk's soil samples contained lesion nematodes and 64% contained dagger nematodes. Both species can cause low to moderate levels of damage to corn.
Of the 60-plus nematode species, about 12 are damaging to corn. The needle nematode can cause yield losses exceeding 60%, according to University of Illinois Extension research.
One or more nematode species is present in every soil type across the Corn Belt. Damage appears to be on the upswing, notes Bauer, who serves as Knirk's Ultimate Farm Quest agronomic specialist. This trend is due to corn-on-corn rotation, reduced tillage and the use of new pyrethroid products that don't control nematodes.
Knirk's history of using manure to boost fertility levels and the fact that his soils are light and sandy are additional reasons Bauer believes all his samples were positive for the pest.
"I'd caution farmers that we have seen damaging levels of nematodes in heavy soils, too," she notes.
Of the 366 soil samples Bauer took from corn fields across 20 Michigan counties in 2010, 97.5% contained corn nematode species. The research was funded by a grant from the Corn Marketing Program of Michigan.
Bauer says that nematodes go undetected in corn fields because the damage they cause looks similar to nutrient deficiency, insect feeding, herbicide injury, disease or compaction.
The timing for visible nematode damage is similar, too.
"Roughly four to six weeks after planting is when you can first notice a problem," Bauer says. "At that point, farmers have no course of action to control the pests."
Start now. To get ahead of nematodes, Bauer tells farmers, address potential infestations during winter.
"Touch base with the laboratory you want to work with now; they may have some specific directions for you to use this spring when taking samples to establish base levels," she says.
If you have a known history of corn nematodes in fields, take pre-emptive measures for control this spring.
Avicta Complete Corn from Syngenta is a seed treatment fungicide that offers protection against nematodes during germination and stand establishment.
Bayer CropScience Poncho/Votivo biological seed treatment protects corn plant roots so nematodes have limited or no ability to feed.
Take note that if your product label does not spell out that it controls corn nematodes, it probably doesn't.
Iowa State University Extension offers additional recommendations to minimize the impact of corn nematodes: Maintain good fertility levels; know that nutrient-deficient plants are more susceptible to injury; and control weeds because some of them host various nematode species.


From scientific research to commercial applications, eye tracking is an important tool across many domains. Researchers from MIT and University of Georgia developed software that can turn any smartphone into an eye-tracking device.
Besides making existing applications of eye-tracking technology more accessible, the system could also help detect signs of incipient neurological disease or mental illness.
To help build their dataset, the researchers first created an iOS application and uniquely leveraged the crowdsourcing ability of Amazon Mechanical Turk to collect eye tracking data from over 1,450 people. Previously, the largest dataset used to train an eye-tracking system was about 50 subjects.
They then used the power of TITAN X GPUs with the cuDNN-accelerated Caffe deep learning framework to train their model, and achieved a margin of error down to 1.5 centimeters — a 2x improvement over previous experimental systems.
Since the paper was published, they have acquired data from 700 more people and have reduced the margin of error to nearly a centimeter.
The researchers developed GazeCapture, the first large-scale eye tracking dataset captured via crowdsourcing and by using GazeCapture, they trained iTracker, a convolutional neural network for robust gaze prediction.
The researchers believe that once they're able to have 10,000 training examples, they will be to lower the margin of error a half-centimeter which should be good enough to make the system commercially viable.


I'm getting all meta today and sharing some content on content.
I'm breaking this into two parts. Today, we'll jam on the 'why' of content, next week the 'how', particularly planning and scheduling.
Before we dig in, I want to preface by saying that I am a very real (read: flawed) human on the other side of this email. I'm learning and growing along with my business.
I share that to say, this is what is working for me right now, at this stage of my business. This isn't how it's always been, and I know it probably won't always be exactly the same.
For any of you who might be in the beginning stages of your business or creative endeavor, know that you're right where you should be. It's not a race.
If what I share resonates, take it, and use it to shave some time off of the inevitable learning curve. But, please, do not beat yourself up if you don't have a content marketing strategy all planned out or if you find yourself struggling coming up with content ideas.
Creating consistent, original content isn't easy. So, if you're getting it done, please celebrate that!
Ok. So. Content and content marketing.
For those of you sitting there wondering what the heck I'm talking about when I say "content", let's get on the same page first!
Content (n) how we express ourselves, communicate, and share information and experiences through different mediums intended to be received by an audience.
Content can be free or paid and includes blog posts like this one, videos, books, ebooks, talks, webinars, social media posts, art, courses, etc.
Content marketing is pulling this all together and using content as a way to market your work. I think of content marketing as a way to connect and build relationships through service or providing value.
As Seth Godin says, "Content marketing is the only marketing left."
Content marketing is my main marketing strategy, and I love it (but it isn't always easy).
What makes sharing content such a freaking awesome way to market our businesses and creative work?
For starters, it's pull marketing, meaning you're pulling people towards you versus pushing your sales or agenda onto people.
Pushy is a desperate no-no in my book. It's what gives business, marketing, and sales a bad rap.
Content marketing, on the other hand, is the opposite of the hard sell. In fact, it's not selling at all. It's giving first and asking later after a relationship is established. It's so much classier than just screaming, "I need money NOW, buy this thing from me!!!!"
Content asks the audience to get to know you first before you put a ring on it.
I think content also has some fringe benefits.
Content allows us to (forces us) to sit down and create ideas and then share them with the world. I think creating content is a great way to begin to formulate and strengthen your message, one sentence at a time.
Content allows us to extend our reach and inspire, motivate, and help more people. It allows us to serve people who can't afford our products and services.
Content also allows us to build relationships and trust.
When we consistently show up for others with content, we're essentially saying, "Hey, you can trust me. I deliver on what I say I will. I won't let you down. "
In a world where pretty much anyone can throw up a website overnight and claim to be an expert in something, content shows people you have substance beyond copy and paste creation.
Content allows people to figure out what you're all about.
Making content also allows us creative types to do what makes us happy - create. The ex-actress in me who felt like she was always waiting for someone else to give her a role really loves being able to sit down and create the work myself.
For those of you who are curious, content is probably the number one way I initially connect with my amazing clients, and it's resulted in my working with people who are truly my idea of dream clients.
Yes, creating content takes some elbow grease, and sometimes a little sweat and tears, but in my opinion and experience, it's so very worth it.
Next week, I'll be back to share how I schedule and come up with content topics. I hope diving into the 'why' of content first was helpful and will inspire a few of you who might be sitting on the content creation fence to jump in and join me.
Wishing you your version of success!
Create a sales process that FEELS good & gets you paid!
Is Giving Away Free Stuff Costing You Sales?
Who Are You Taking Advice From?
Are You Selling Out Your Dreams?
Coaching with Kim has been completely mind-blowing. Basically, I wish I could go back in time and could've started coaching with your earlier. It is incredible what an hour together, once a week has done for my life and my business, and our call is always the highlight of my week!

This Photo: Female, ventral
General Species Information:
Found on Ellura (in the Murray Mallee, SA) and elsewhere
A very rare moth, originally only found in WA. MoV8 reports it has since been discovered in SA (once), Vic (once) & NSW.
The 1st thing we noticed about this moth was the irregular "gold" line running laterally near the back of the forewing. It's not so obvious with the camera and turns out to be a pale line with orange highlights, giving it an illusion of "gold".
About 18mm long with a wingspan of about 35mm.
The males have many more lines along the trailing edge of the forewing (outer margin), but both have filiform (thread like) antennae.
The forewings are scalloped along the outer margin and have 3, equally spaced, lateral, pale lines spattered with orange flecks. The shape of the palps is also quite unusual.
The hindwings have a spot in the middle. It's not obvious unless you look for it.
The antennae base and legs joints are all highlighted by orange scales. Those at the antennae base almost look like coloured eyelashes
We found our single specimen near the end of June.

World Union of Olympic Cities international delegation visits Lake Placid
04 Oct World Union of Olympic Cities international delegation visits Lake Placid
Posted at 13:34h in Local News	by	Carrie Gentile 0 Comments
Lake Placid, adirondacks, usa — A delegation of 36 individuals from the World Union of Olympic Cities (WUOC) was in Lake Placid this week to visit the 1980 Olympic venues and learn more about the Games' legacy and lasting impact on the destination.
The WUOC is firmly committed to the development of exchanges of experience between cities that have hosted, or are going to host, Olympic Games or other major international sports events. The delegation traveled to Lake Placid following the conclusion of the WUOC's annual meeting, which was held this year in Montreal. The dignitaries toured the Olympic venues during their two-day visit.
Some of the delegates that were on hand included the International Olympic Committee's Head of Legacy Tania Braga, City of London Head of Sport Simon Cooper, Deputy Secretary General of the Beijing Olympic City Development Association Han Wen, and President of the Los Angeles Sports Council David Simon, among others.
Lake Placid was one of 15 original members of the WUOC, which now boasts 37 members overall, and Lake Placid Mayor Craig Randall is a member of the Executive Committee.
"Overall, the Olympic Winter Games have represented a vehicle for community redevelopment in Lake Placid, and we're pleased to be able to showcase that for our International guests," said Mayor Randall.
Lake Placid has been a winter destination since 1905, and the goal of community leaders has been to establish the destination as a world sports center and resort since the 1920s.
"In the 1920s, the Games were a mechanism for development for the 1932 Games – even in a time of national financial depression. Twice in the last 80-plus years the Games have allowed Lake Placid to achieve the community's goals to promote a healthy lifestyle, and to establish Lake Placid as a world class sports center and resort," Randall continued.
"The Olympic Winter Games continue to provide us with the opportunity to further strengthen Lake Placid's presence in the international sports marketplace, and to encourage other host cities to utilize the games in the same way as they have influenced the ongoing vitality of Lake Placid, Adirondacks USA," said James McKenna, president of the Regional Office of Sustainable Tourism and Lake Placid representative at the WUOC.
Since hosting the 1980 Winter Games, Lake Placid and its Olympic venues have been a destination for world class and international competition, hosting hundreds of World Cup and World Championship events. This Winter Lake Placid hosts five major international competitions, each serving as Olympic qualifiers for the nations participating.
"The sustainability of the Lake Placid Venues is a model of success. We look forward to sharing our story and learning from the other Olympic City's delegates," said the Olympic Regional Development Authority's President/CEO Mike Pratt.

Esther Berlin-Joel (also known as Esther Berli-Joel, Esther Barli-Joel, in Hebrew: אסתר ברלי-יואל, (May 2, 1895 – March 7, 1972) was a German-born Israeli painter and graphic designer. She designed the coats of arms for the Israeli cities of Haifa and Holon.

Biography
Esther Else Joel was born on March 2, 1895, in Hamburg, Germany. Joel was greatly interested in the arts and between 1915 and 1920 she went to study at the University of Fine Arts of Hamburg. After completion of her studies she moved to Berlin in 1920.
While in Berlin she studied arts with Alexander Archipenko and Ludwig Meidner at the Berlin University of the Arts. Berlin-Joel had her first personal exhibition in 1925, in Hamburg.

In 1922 Esther married Dr. Haim Berlin, and their son Dan was born in 1923. At the end of 1925, the family immigrated to Mandatory Palestine and settled in Tel Aviv. In 1930, Haim Berlin and Esther divorced, and she continued to publish under the name E. Berlin-Joel. Following the movement for Hebraization of surnames, Esther changed her last name to Berli-Joel.

Berli-Joel was a prolific graphic designer and artist, she had many exhibitions, including 12 solo exhibitions. She designed many posters, coat of arms and emblems. Berli-Joel also published several books showing her collective works.

In 1936, she received first prize for her book of paintings about Haifa.

Esther Berlin-Joel died on March 7, 1972, and is buried in Haifa, Israel.

Coats of arms
Berlin-Joel designed the coats of arms of many organizations. She was also approached to design the coat of arms for Holon and Haifa and suggested options for the Jerusalem coat of arms.

Haifa coat of arms

In early 1934, Hassan Bey Shukri, mayor of Haifa, started the process of selecting a coat of arms for the city. In July 1935, an external committee decided on a competition with a prize of 15 Palestine pounds. By 1936, the committee, comprising with additional judges including an artist, architect and an engineer, couldn't find a winner, but was impressed with the designs suggested by Esther Berlin-Joel. The committee decided to ask Berlin-Joel to finish the design, with specific guidelines provided. Berlin-Joel designed several swatches, combining Mount Carmel and the sea. On April 22, 1936, the committee convened for the final time to select the design and approve. The Haifa coat of arms was approved by June 1936.

Jerusalem coat of arms

In 1943, Berli-Joel approached Mustafa al-Khalidi, mayor of Jerusalem and provided several suggestions for the City of Jerusalem's coat of arms. The city hall adopted one of Berli-Joel's suggestions on May 20, 1943, but required the approval of the College of Arms. Due to the conditions during World War II, this approval was delayed. Following the death of al-Khalidi in 1944, and disagreements within city fractions for a rotation of Arab-Jewish mayors, the British High Commissioner disbanded the council and appointed an all-British council starting on July 11, 1945. The discussion on the coat of arms was archived.

New site. A Geological Conservation Review site.
The lateral passage from the Bournemouth Freshwater Beds to the Bournemouth Marine Beds involves a highly deformed channel bank- collapse complex.
The eastern cliffs show unique exposures of the Bournemouth Marine Beds and of the Boscombe Sands of mid-Eocene age. These formations display probably the best examples of meso-tidal estuarine sedimentation in the British Eocene, and contain numerous features of interest to the sedimentologist. In the past they have yielded a very diverse fossil tropical flora.
Sections of the cliffs support heath vegetation with heather Calluna vulgaris, bell heather Erica cinerea, bristle bent Agrostis curtisii and dwarf gorse Ulex minor. Some areas of exposed sands support dune-like vegetation with marram Ammophila arenaria, lyme-grass Leymus arenarius and other characteristic species. The site supports at least two important populations of the rare and declining sand lizard Lacerta agilis*, these being associated with certain areas of suitable habitat.
There are also local seepage features, in places supporting common reed Phragmites australis and purple moor-grass Molinia caerulea. The specialised invertebrate fauna of these seepages includes several rare species such as the shore bug Saldula arenicola and the fly Cephalops chlorinae the latter being recorded from only one other locality in Britain.
* This species is listed on Schedule 5 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981.

Believe the hype! Liverpool wonderkid Gordon has got Anfield buzzing
17:00 BST 25/08/2021
The 16-year-old has already made his mark with Jurgen Klopp's first team, and looks set for a bright future after joining the Reds from Derby County
"Sometimes, you see players getting a lot of media attention," begins Tom Clayton, with a smile. "Then, they come in, and you think 'he's not that good'...
"Well, Kaide is!"
Clayton is the captain of Liverpool's Under-23s team, and the Kaide he is referring to is Kaide Gordon, the youngest member of it. He doesn't turn 17 until October, incredibly, but the winger is already turning heads on Merseyside.
On Monday, he was playing, and scoring, for the U23s in a Premier League 2 win over Everton. In the cut and thrust of a 'mini-derby', Gordon was best player on the park by a country mile.
Eight days earlier, he'd scored at Anfield in a behind-closed-doors friendly against Aston Villa, where he had lined up alongside the likes of Jordan Henderson, Thiago Alcantara and new signing Ibrahima Konate.
The previous week, he'd started in front of 40,000 in a pre-season friendly win over Osasuna, where he had Roberto Firmino, Fabinho and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain for company, among others.
A January signing from Championship club Derby, Gordon has certainly made his presence felt since. He spent the whole of pre-season with Jurgen Klopp's senior squad, will train with them regularly going forward, and is already being pencilled in for first-team action in the Carabao Cup this season.
That's how highly he's rated.
"Kaide is only a young boy but he's done ever so well since he joined the club," Barry Lewtas, the U23s coach, said after Monday's game.
"He's got a lovely knack for scoring goals, a real eye for goal. You can see the big potential he's got. And he's a really good kid, very mature for a 16-year-old."
Gordon has already had first-team exposure, albeit brief, with Derby, and can count Wayne Rooney among his ever-growing list of admirers. Quick, skilful and with an appreciation of the game around him, he looks destined for big things at Liverpool.
"You can judge people quite quickly," says Clayton. "Whether it's their passing or their first touch.
"It was the same with Harvey [Elliott] as it was with Kaide. It was 'wow, he's got something special.'
"I try to stay away from him in training! It's tough, because he's got that bit of magic in him. I'm just glad I don't have to play against him every weekend!"
Lewtas, for now, looks to be the coach who will benefit most from his emergence. Gordon will bypass the U18 set-up at Kirkby, splitting his training time between the U23s and the senior squad.
"We've got a plan for him, from an academy point of view and a first-team point of view," he says. "We certainly don't want to hold him back. We want him to keep playing at the pace he's playing, and improving at the rate he's improving.
"We want to keep turning the screw on him, and hopefully this season he's a match-winner for us."
He certainly was against Everton, scoring Liverpool's second goal in a 3-1 win that was more comfortable than the scoreline suggests.
Despite being on the end of a few heavy tackles, and despite the presence of other players with first-team exposure – notably Sheyi Ojo and Rhys Wiliams – Gordon looked a cut above; direct, dangerous and with a style that had the 1,400-strong crowd gasping at times.
A post shared by Kaide Gordon (@kaidegordon10)
It is telling that Lewtas, an experienced youth coach, is so willing to talk about Gordon's qualities.
Usually, the idea is to play down any hype or excitement, knowing just how tough it is for a gifted youngster to become an established professional, let alone one capable of playing for a club like Liverpool. The recent past is littered with examples of players who have not been able to live up to the big billing.
Gordon, though, feels different. Like Harvey Elliott, who made his first Premier League start last weekend, or like Trent Alexander-Arnold or Curtis Jones before him, he just seems to have that extra edge to his game. Even at 16, he knows who he is, and he knows where he wants to get to.
"There's a lovely innocence and freedom to him," Lewtas says. "It's our job to make sure we give him the ball as often as possible.
"But he does play with a real maturity, he makes good movements in behind, he understands when to go 1v1, and off the ball he works really hard, but with intelligence in the way he presses and tracks.
"We have to keep working on that because the games will get tougher. I've told him he could be a marked man at times. Maybe that's something he needs to learn, how to avoid those tackles!
"But he doesn't have any fear. He keeps running at players. [Being fouled] didn't knock him. I don't think anybody is going to kick him off the park – you're going to have to come up with a better plan than that!"
Liverpool's plan, meanwhile, is clear. Let the kid develop, and watch him shine.
Elliott may be the man of the moment, but he is not the only talented teenager waiting to explode at Anfield.

I live in the apartment where I was raped.
He is gone, the locks have been changed, I have a restraining order, I should be safe (inside the apartment at least ).
But when my dog's bark at night, which they just about never do, I immediately panic!
I turn on my light, grab my phone, get up, and with much anxiety open my door and proceed to turn all the lights in the house on, check the entire apartment; closets, shower, and empty bedroom.
I feel like I am going insane! Then of course I am way too riled up to sleep.


Explore the engineering and the design process by building a ballistic launcher.
Essential Question: How can statistical analysis affect the design and performance of a ballistic launcher?
Probability – use theoretical and simulated probability models to determine the likelihood of events.
Communication – communicate analysis, methods, and results of experiments and associated analysis.
Experimentation – demonstrate an understanding of sampling techniques and experimental design.
Engineering – demonstrate an understanding of the problem solving process and the engineering design process.
Presentation – communicate the entire ELO experience, including the process and the learning, in a manner that is appropriate to the experience and the audience.
Student followed the design process he learned in an Introduction to Engineering class.
Complete the problem identification for the project: figure out what you will make, what materials you will use, where you will get the materials, and research possible designs for the project.
Complete multiple concepts for the design of the project.
Compare and contrast the different concepts for your design, and chose the one you will base your final design on.
Make refinements to your chosen design concept. Identify what parts need to be built and how much of a material/part is needed.
Complete construction of your project and make predictions for its performance. For example, predict how far a projectile would be launched at different angles.
Complete all testing and data collection for your project.
Use statistical analysis to determine whether the differences in the predicted values and collected values are significant, and then make any necessary adjustments.
Reflect on conclusions drawn from the statistical analysis, problems that came up during the design process, and what could have been done differently. If necessary, make further refinements to the project.
Prepare to present your project and the findings you gathered from your experience.
Three high school teachers acted as the student's mentors through the entire process. They were responsible for meeting with the student on a regular basis. The Engineering Teacher acted as the Lead Mentor Teacher, met with the student daily and was primarily responsible for the student's assessment.
The Community Partner, iMagic, acted as a mentor to the student during the build of the Ballistic Launcher. A couple times during the ELO the student shared their designs and progress on building the launcher for feedback and problem solving.
The community partner for this project happened to be the student's parent. I would recommend that other ELO coordinators be sure to encourage a student to reach beyond their comfort zone to find a person in the engineering field to help the problem-solve throughout the building process.

Q: extract and refit coxph model with variables selected from glmnet I want to refit coxph model with variables selected from glmnet. I know how to extract variables name from cv.glmnet fit. However, for categorical data, variable's original name were changed. For example, Sex will become SexM (or SexF). Anyone knows how to extract original names from glmnet object?

A: Without an example it's difficult to tell exactly what you want, but on the example provided in the help page for glmnet the "variable names"  are returned with:
(fit1)$beta@Dimnames[[1]]

Notice that the x argument in the example does not actually have those names as column names but they are assigned such values because the x-object was a matrix. There is also a second set of values (fit1)$beta@Dimnames[[1]]. The objects returned by cv.glmnet also might be what you want. They would be returned by
fit1_cv$glmnet.fit$beta@Dimnames[[1]] # or [[2]]

A specific example would be most helpful.
Note: Also get success with dimnames(coef(fit1_cv))[[1]] or [[2]]. (It's better to use the correct extractor functions.

Сербская философия представляет собой интеллектуальную традицию Сербии.

Подобно другим философским традициям Балканского полуострова она делится на два этапа: дотурецкий и новейший. В дотурецкий период духовная жизнь Сербии развивалась под сильным византийским (крещение сербов) и болгарским влиянием (богомилы).

Новейший период во многом связан с появлением Белградского университета, где в 1838 году появляется Философский факультет (). Однако появление самого университета стало возможным благодаря идеям Просвещения, которые на сербской почве внедрял Досифей Обрадович.

В XIX веке в Сербии распространяются революционно-демократические и социалистические идеи (Светозар Маркович). Никола Пашич выдвигает концепцию Великой Сербии, а Илия Гарашанин выступает проводником идеи сербской монархии которая призвана возглавить южных славян на Балканах. Сербским адептом югославизма был также Владимир Чорович. А вот Стеван Мольевич считается родоначальником движения четников и автором идеи «Гомогенной Сербии»

Во второй половине XX века сербская мысль находилась в тени хорватской философии в рамках единой югославской традиции. В тот период сербские философы находились под обаянием западного марксизма (Зоран Джинджич). Сербским представителем югославской школы праксиса был Михайло Маркович. Важное место в сербской философии занимают идеи мирного сосуществования различных народностей (Васа Стаич). Вместе с тем в консервативных кругах популярность получают идеи византизма (Иустин Попович, Жарко Видович). Особняком стоит философия Сэйфла Карфошта, концепции которой построены на восточных идеях и ницшеанстве.

What it is exactly that I do for 40+ hours a week.
Work. I am an environmental engineer. There are a few kinds of environmental engineers. There are the waste water/waste management environmental engineers. They make our water safe to drink, and our poop stinkless. That's not the kind I am. I work with hazardous waste. Not with my own two hands, though I'm certified by OSHA and the federal government to do that if I need to, but from several hundred miles away.
I work on a nasty hazardous waste site. I'll call it Lake Nasty. We're busy quantifying the wastes, and figuring out how it affects people and animals. Next, we'll figure out how to clean it up. It's an interesting project – one I could build a career from if I wanted to.
It's hard for me to explain exactly what I do and why I am working so hard lately. Maybe this will help: I am involved in rewriting a 7-volume report. Each volume is 4 inches thick. I have to look at every table. Every figure. Reformat everything before it goes out. I don't spend lots of time on the science, but I am still coordinating some of the work. These reports are due at the end of the year, but there's a big (and nasty) internal review process that requires us to finish the report completely three times. The reports are so big and involved, and so open for dispute, because the site is several square miles big, and there are at least three different kinds of toxic chemicals which have been historically disposed of onsite (and not in nice easy to manage barrels, either) over the last 100 years. Plus, we're working on a court-ordered deadline, so we can't even beg off for exhaustion, computer problems, lack of data, or insanity.
So I'm working really hard. I'm a consultant, so it's kind of the way things are to make the junior level people do all kinds of huge work because they're cheap. It's kind of common to have a couple of well paid PhDs doing the thinking, and for each PhD to have a couple of lower level scientists or engineers at their beck-and-call to make tables and figures to help well paid PhD understand the data quickly, and to write the text for them to check.
Yep – I'm a peon. For 40+ hours a week. Time to go back to grad school, so I'll be a well paid and glamorous PhD!
