Patroits won't appeal...Calipari has no interest in Pelicans...Golson picks Seminoles
By The Associated Press | Posted - May 19, 2015 at 1:41 p.m.
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Patriots owner Robert Kraft says he will not appeal the team's sanctions in the deflated football scandal. Commissioner Roger Goodell (guh-DEHL') fined New England $1 million and took away two draft picks, including a first-round next year. Kraft says he wants to put the league's interest above that of his team.
LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) — John Calipari says he's not interested in the New Orleans Pelicans' coaching job and is happy at Kentucky. The Pelicans fired Monty Williams a week ago and the team's NBA roster features former Kentucky star Anthony Davis and Tyreke (ty-REEK') Evans, who played for Calipari at Memphis.
UNDATED (AP) — Former Notre Dame quarterback Everett Golson says he is transferring to Florida State, where he will have the chance to replace Jameis (JAY'mihs) Winston. Golson graduated from Notre Dame on Sunday. He will be immediately eligible to play under NCAA graduate transfer rules.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Nationals left fielder Jayson Werth has been put on the 15-day disabled list with a bruised left wrist after getting hit by a pitch. Werth was injured Friday against the San Diego Padres. His second stint on the DL this season is retroactive to Saturday.

The Goddess goes by many names in the Hindu tradition. She is Parvati, the wife of Shiva. She is Lakshmi or Bhu Devi, the wife of Vishnu. In some cases, her role as a "wife" fades almost completely, and she stands on her own as Durga or as Kali, her many arms and many hands filled with the weapons of all the male gods. She is omnipotent, to be sure. Among her names is Shakti, which means sheer energy or power. Her most common name, however, for those who come to her in prayer is simply Ma, or Mother.
There are also particular women who are said to embody the presence and power of the Divine and are, therefore, referred to as "Ma," by their followers. In any Vedanta Society temple, for example, one will see the image of Sarada Devi, the wife of the saint Ramakrishna, who was held to be the embodiment of the Goddess. In modern times, there are many "Ma"s who attract followers around the world and in America. In Hempstead, Long Island, Guru Maa, is a teacher and religious leader who is accorded the respect and love of the Divine Mother by the members of her community, who seek her out for both her advice and her blessings. The same is true of Ma Jaya Sati Bhagavati of the Kashi Ashram community in Florida, who is loved by her followers as an embodiment of the Divine Mother. Both Ma Jaya and Guru Maa perform puja to the Gods, especially to Hanuman, Shiva, and Devi. For their congregations, however, both women evoke the powerful presence of the Divine Mother and are honored as such.

Q: asp.net menu control not rending correctly in safari The site I'm working on is using a Databound asp:Menu control.  When sending 1 menu item it renders HTML that is absolutely correct in Firefox (and IE), but really messed up  code in Safari and Chrome.  Below is the code that was sent to each browser. I've tested it a few browsers, and they are all pretty similarly rendered, so I am only posting the two variations on the rendering source.
My question is:  How do I get ASP.NET to send the same html and javascript to Chrome and Safari as it does to Firefox and IE?

<asp:Menu ID="menu" runat="server" BackColor="#cccccc"
    DynamicHorizontalOffset="2" Font-Names="Verdana" StaticSubMenuIndent="10px" StaticDisplayLevels="1"
    CssClass="left_menuTxt1" Font-Bold="true" ForeColor="#0066CC">
    <DataBindings>
        <asp:MenuItemBinding DataMember="MenuItem" NavigateUrlField="NavigateUrl" TextField="Text"
            ToolTipField="ToolTip" />
    </DataBindings>
    <StaticSelectedStyle BackColor="#0066CC" HorizontalPadding="5px" VerticalPadding="2px"
        Font-Names="Verdama" CssClass="left_menuTxt1" Font-Bold="true" />
    <StaticMenuItemStyle HorizontalPadding="5px" VerticalPadding="8px" />
    <DynamicMenuStyle BackColor="#fbfbfb" BorderColor="#989595" BorderStyle="Inset" BorderWidth="1"
        Width="80px" VerticalPadding="1" />
    <DynamicMenuItemStyle HorizontalPadding="5px" VerticalPadding="2px" Font-Name="Verdama"
        ForeColor="#c6c4c4" CssClass="left_menuTxt1" Font-Bold="true" />
    <DynamicSelectedStyle BackColor="#cccccc" HorizontalPadding="5px" VerticalPadding="2px"
        Font-Names="Verdama" CssClass="left_menuTxt1" Font-Bold="true" />
</asp:Menu>

My Order

My Order

Update:  My solution post is correct.. but i can't mark my own as correct... so if anyone wants to copy it so I can close this. :)

A: I've had problems with the asp:menu control and webkit as well. Plus it's hard to style exactly the way I want. My recommendation is to use the CSS Friendly Control Adapters:

*

*http://www.asp.net/cssadapters/

*http://www.asp.net/CSSAdapters/Menu.aspx
This converts the menu's table into much more modern and SEO-friendly markup. Your menu will look more like this:

    Orders

    My Orders

In my testing, the markup is the same in all browsers.

A: Here's the easiest way to fix this issue for both chrome and safari if you have multiple web apps:
Create a file named safari.browser in "%SystemRoot%\Microsoft.NET\Framework[version]\CONFIG\Browsers"  that contains the following:
<browsers>
    <browser refID="Safari1Plus">
        <controlAdapters>
            <adapter controlType="System.Web.UI.WebControls.Menu"
                     adapterType="" />
        </controlAdapters>
    </browser>
</browsers>

This will tell asp.net not to use an adapter when rendering the menu control for safari.
Safari1Plus is defined at the end of the mozilla.browser file in the same directory. This works for chrome as well because they both use webkit which is how asp.net identifies Safari1Plus.
Next run %SystemRoot%\Microsoft.NET\Framework[version]\aspnet_regbrowsers -i
this will compile all the browser files into an assembly and add it to the GAC.
now the asp.net menu will render correctly in safari and chrome.
Alternatively you can add the file the the App_Browsers directory in each of your web apps.

A: I just wanted to submit an alternate option. This works for ASP.NET 3.5.

*

*Add the "App_Browsers" ASP.NET folder to your project

*Create a Browser file within this folder

*In the browser file, add the following code between the <browsers> tag:
<browser id="Chrome" parentID="Safari1Plus">
<controlAdapters>
<adapter controlType="System.Web.UI.WebControls.Menu" adapterType="" />
</controlAdapters>
</browser>
That should properly render the menu control in Chrome/Safari.

A: Mayank Sharma found a solution that works with master pages, rather than editing individual pages. All pages that use the master page are fixed seamlessly. It's still a hack, but you do what you have to. Here's a barebones example master page code behind.
using System;
using System.Web.UI;

///
/// Summary description for ExampleMasterPage
///
public class ExampleMasterPage : MasterPage
{
    public ExampleMasterPage() { }

    protected override void AddedControl(Control control, int index)
    {
        if (Request.ServerVariables["http_user_agent"]
            .IndexOf("Safari", StringComparison.CurrentCultureIgnoreCase) != -1)
        {
            this.Page.ClientTarget = "uplevel";
        }
        base.AddedControl(control, index);
    }
}

A: Works like magic!
    If Request.ServerVariables("http_user_agent").IndexOf("Safari", StringComparison.CurrentCultureIgnoreCase) <> -1 Or Request.UserAgent.Contains("AppleWebKit") Then
        Request.Browser.Adapters.Clear()
        Page.ClientTarget = "uplevel"
    End If

A: I found this solution from a comment on weblogs.asp.net.
It might be a hack, but it does work.
This cross browser compatibility struggle is getting upsetting.
 if (Request.UserAgent.IndexOf("AppleWebKit") > 0)
    {

        Request.Browser.Adapters.Clear();

    }

If anyone has a better solution that's not so much a hack, I would be grateful if you posted it. And from my extensive web searches, it looks like I'm not alone with this problem with the menu control, so some good references would help out others in the same situation.

A: Here's the @Mayank Sharma / @jball C# version converted to VB.NET. Thanks for the fix guys, been bugging me for months. My problem was every browser on MAC and PC worked except IE8 and Chrome. But then Chrome, much as I like it, often fails to run Google Docs - work that out!!!
Protected Overrides Sub AddedControl(ByVal control As Control, ByVal index As Integer)
    If Request.ServerVariables("http_user_agent").IndexOf("fake_user_agent", StringComparison.CurrentCultureIgnoreCase) <> -1 Then
      Me.Page.ClientTarget = "uplevel"
    End If
    MyBase.AddedControl(control, index)
  End Sub

You'll note that I had to check for "fake_user_agent", not "Safari".

A: The issue with Chrome and Safari not rendering the menu control properly is due to the navigation skiplink image box being rendered by Chrome and Safari.
If you do a css display: none; on the image for the skiplink then the menu control positions itself like it should.
I've tested this on a simple 1 level menu and not nested menus.
http://www.s-t-f-u.com/2011/05/05/asp-net-menu-control-positioning-in-safari-google-chrome/

A: Adding ClientTarget="uplevel" to the page directive like so makes Safari work:
<%@ Page ClientTarget="uplevel" ... %>

"First Rule Of GOP Politics": Never, Never, EVER Tell The Truth
Incoming House Speaker Kevin McCarthy just committed a "gaffe" in Michael Kinsley's sense of the term: in an unguarded moment, he allowed himself to tell the truth. The truth is, as most of us have always known, that Benghazi!, like its predecessor Whitewater!, was an entirely bad-faith exercise in partisan character assassination from the get-go. But don't listen to me, listen to what the Speaker-to-Be told Sean Hannity:
Everybody thought Hillary Clinton was unbeatable, right? But we put together a Benghazi special committee, a select committee. What are her numbers today? Her numbers are dropping. Why? Because she's untrustable. But no one would've known any of that had happened had we not fought and made that happen.
Naturally, the rest of the House Republicans are outraged: not, of course, at Trey Gowdy for ghoulishly making a political meal out of the bodies of four dead Americans, but at McCarthy for blabbing.
The political press corps is caught in the middle. Lots of those reporters and editors, especially at the New York Times, have been more than willing to peddle Gowdy's "partial-transcript" leaks as if they had news value, and to let Gowdy and his staff hide behind anonymity to defame a political rival. In other words, they've been playing according to the Clinton Rules, which hold that anything a Clinton does is guilty even after it's been proven innocent.
So far, most of that crowd has reacted to McCarthy's stunning admission, which makes them look like fools or scoundrels or both, by ignoring it. But I'm hoping that the second round of stories, with other Republicans commenting on McCarthy's blunder, will start to crack that Wall of Silence. And I'm starting to look forward to Clinton's appearance before Trey Gowdy's inquisition. He might well come out of that experience as no more than a Deuce.

Q: Can an amplifier deliver a higher power for a short burst as opposed to continuously using the same circuit I am struggling to understand the fundamental power requirements for an amplifier.
If I want to deliver 56 V rms to a 7.5 Ohm load I can use P = V^2/R and find that I need 418 W rms. Requiring a current of 7.5 A rms.
But this is for transmission in a continuous mode. If, for example I only want the amplifier to transmit 10% of the time, for example, for only 100 mS in 1 S, sitting idle the rest of the time. Does my power requirement change?
And how is this change manifested?
Does the current requirement drop (meaning I need less output transistors in parallel)?

A: The average power reduces as you lower the duty cycle and this usually means less heating in the power transistors and power supply to the amplifier. So, if full duty consumes 418 watts, 10% duty consumes 41.8 watts in the load.
The current will still be 7.5 amps when driving the load and will be zero amps when not driving the load. The RMS current can be calculated by the average power of 41.8 watts into 7.5 ohms thus, RMS current is
\$\sqrt{\dfrac{41.8}{7.5}}\$ = 2.36 amps.
Note that the average current may also be a useful quantity.
More than likely you will be able to use fewer transistors in the output stage.


I recently came across M.N. Srinivas' observation that his enthusiastic engagement with photography, during his fieldwork in Mysore in the late 1940s, earned him the nickname "chamara man". He notes that in Kannada chamara denotes whisks made of the long hair from a yak's tails used by servants to keep flies away from Rajas and by priests to preserve the purity of icons.
I recently spent an afternoon at the site of the former twin towers, where now there lies, imprinted on the foundations, one of the largest memorials I have visited, and underneath that a cavernous museum, both dedicated to memorializing the events of September 11, 2001. This review has emerged out that experience and from a conversation with Harvey Molotch who recently wrote a review of the 911 museum at Public Books. Called "How the 9/11 Museum Gets Us" Molotch reflects on the affective qualities of the museum, pulling together a powerfully christian iconography, personalizing the experience by exploring the victims in material detail through their possessions, and whitewashing historical context.
In 1960, Bill Coperthwaite bought 300 acres of wilderness in Machiasport, Maine.
Influenced by the poetry of Emily Dickinson and by the back to the land movement of Scott and Helen Nearing, Bill Coperthwaite was committed to what he called"a handmade life." For over fifty years until his death in 2013, he lived and worked in the forest. He was a builder of yurts, and a maker of spoons, bowls and chairs.
As I'm sure you are all aware, last week Vanuatu was devastated by Cyclone Pam, battering the country with winds of over 270 mph. The storm knocked out the country's telecommunications and transport infrastructure and now, just a few days later, it is estimated that more then 70% of the population are left homeless, without adequate drinking water, and without food. The long term prospects for food security are also bad as most of the garden crops that people live off have been destroyed. President Baldwin Lonsdale has announced that the storm had "wiped out" recent development and that "everything" would have to be rebuilt.
Sawdust and Threads is a residency and exhibitions programms that takes de-accessioned museum objects as its material. Artist Caroline Wright has undertaken residencies at three different museum collections and selected objects that have been de-accessioned. For Sawdust and Threads, Caroline has made detailed drawings of each of these objects that are then carefully and painstakingly deconstructed. The drawings as well as the objects from the different collections accompany the artist in the space where the process of deconstruction unfolds. The project poses questions around the nature of museum collections. Who owns these objects and how is the value of an object defined? Is value being removed or re-ascribed during this process of deconstruction?

There are many signs that indicate pregnancy. Some are subtle, while same are glaringly obvious. Some are easy to confuse with the sensations many women get every month when they are expecting their period, or with the symptoms of a common cold or flu. Perhaps no "symptom" of pregnancy is quite as unique as this one. Many newly pregnant women instinctively "know" they are pregnant. This feeling has little to do with any of the other symptoms of early pregnancy, and it isn't uncommon to just "feel" pregnant even before your period is due.
"Hey, I think I am pregnant" is a feeling that you can encounter even if you are not experiencing any morning sickness, don't have tender breasts, and have not even missed a period yet. It is something that can strike seemingly out of nowhere, even if you don't have a clue when your menstruation should be starting. Are you suddenly overcome by this feeling? It happens to many women, and their instincts are proven right a lot of the time. If this description fits you, take your feelings seriously and get a pregnancy test. Of course, there is nothing scientific about this pregnancy sign. Women who have been trying to conceive for a while might think that this is a feeling they experience every month, and that it simply means they hope they succeeded this time.
But when you are pregnant and simply feel it, it is something that you will be able to distinguish from the feeling of just hoping you might have conceived. Feeling that you are pregnant is, arguably, just as much of an indication that you are expecting as any of the other, more objective signs of pregnancy. This does not happen to every woman, and of course it is entirely possible to be pregnant and not have that "knowing feeling". If you do get it, don't ignore it, though. We are working on a comprehensive list of any and all pregnancy signs. It's currently a work in progress, but please check the page if you are wondering about other symptoms of pregnancy.

Q: Jquery Drag and Drop validation I have most of the functionality working on a jQuery drag and drop quiz.
You can view it here: http://www.chaosdesign.com/production/ernst-young/2014/landingpage/
The user drags a word from the right and drop it in one of the gaps on the left.
My problem is i need some sort of validation that the correct word is dropped on the correct area.
I have added a unique class to each drag element (.wordX) and each drop element (.snapX)
I figured i could find the coordinates of the '.snap1' element using the jquery .offset method. Then have some sort of if statement saying only allow drop if the '.word1' .coordinates match. Otherwise revert back to the starting position.
But i have no idea how to right this.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Current JS
$(function() {
$( ".draggable" ).draggable({ snap: ".snapTarget", snapMode: "inner", snapTolerance:
20, revert: "invalid" });
$( ".wordBg" ).droppable({
hoverClass: "boxHover",
});
});

Current HTML structure
Dragable items:

Snap Targets:

A: This can certainly be improved but it shows how it works for the first sentence by using the accept option in the droppable element http://jsfiddle.net/pf34F/
$(".word6").droppable({

The Bible is clear: Jesus is the only way of salvation (Acts 4:12). How could people in ages before the Cross be saved by Jesus, when He hadn't yet died? How could they know anything about Calvary and its meaning? The answer is through the ancient Hebrew sanctuary and its services. It was an acted or dramatized prophecy — a kind of sandbox model — of the saving work of Jesus.
The sanctuary service
1. What did God tell Moses to make? Exodus 25:8, 9; 29:42, 43
" 'Have them make a sanctuary for me, and I will dwell among them.' " " 'There I will meet you and speak to you.' "
The sanctuary or tabernacle ("dwelling place") consisted of a large tentlike structure with two rooms that were separated by a curtain. The priests ministered every day in the first room (the Holy Place), but only the high priest could enter the second room (the Most Holy Place), and he only once a year on the Day of Atonement. He did this with blood, offered for himself and for the sins of the people (Hebrews 9:1–7). In the Most Holy Place was the ark of the covenant containing the Ten Commandments. On top of the ark was the atonement cover with two gold cherubim (angels) mounted on either end. The glory of God's presence between the two angels lit the tabernacle (see Exodus 25:17–22; 40:34, 35; Hebrews 9:5).
2. Who was Moses instructed to appoint to minister in the sanctuary? Exodus 30:30
" 'Anoint Aaron and his sons and consecrate them so they may serve me as priests.' "
The priest mediated between God and the people, offering sacrifices for sins (Hebrews 5:1). Sin separates us from God (Isaiah 59:2). Atonement means to be reconciled to God.
3. What was the typical way of making atonement for sin before Jesus came? Leviticus 4:3, 4
" ' "If the anointed priest sins . . . he must bring to the Lord a young bull without defect as a sin offering. . . . He is to present the bull at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting before the Lord. He is to lay his hand on its head and slaughter it before the Lord." ' "
Three principles of atonement are found here: (1) substitution ("present the bull"); (2) identification ("lay his hand on its head"); and (3) the death of the substitute ("slaughter it") (NIV Study Bible). Blood symbolizes life (Leviticus 17:11), and "without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness" (Hebrews 9:22).
The most frequent offering was a lamb — morning and evening (Exodus 29:38, 39). Additional lambs were offered each Sabbath, as well as at all yearly feasts (Numbers 28; 29).
Jesus the "Lamb of God"
4. Could the blood of these sacrifices take away sin? Hebrews 10:1–4
"The law [sacrificial system] is only a shadow of the good things that are coming — not the realities themselves. . . . But those sacrifices are an annual reminder of sins, because it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins."
Sacrifice and sin
5. John the Baptist called Jesus "the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!" What did Jesus achieve that the priests could never do? Hebrews 10:11–14; 9:9, 14
"Day after day every priest stands and performs his religious duties . . . which can never take away sins. But when this priest [Jesus] had offered for all time one sacrifice for sins, he sat down at the right hand of God . . . because by one sacrifice he has made perfect forever those who are being made holy." "The gifts and sacrifices being offered were not able to clear the conscience of the worshiper. . . . How much more, then, will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences from acts that lead to death, so that we may serve the living God!"
The sacrifices taught that sin causes death. If sinners are to be pardoned, a substitute must die in their place. The sacrifices prefigured the "once-for-all" death of Jesus, to which the worshipers before the Cross, by faith, looked forward.

Lebanon builds wall around Palestinian refugee camp | Middle East | DW.COM | 22.11.2016
November 22, 2016 nedhamson
"The Lebanese authorities are building an apartheid wall surrounding the Ain al-Helweh camp in Sidon," tweeted an account called Yarmouk News. Commentators on social media have used the term apartheid to describe the wall, claiming that it isolates and separates the Palestinians in the camp from the rest of Lebanese society.After the war of Arab-Israeli war of 1948, many displaced Palestinians were forced to flee to Lebanon. The majority of these Palestinians remain stateless refugees even today. The United Nations Relief and Work Agency (UNRWA) provides food, medicine, education and other necessities to the Palestinian population in Lebanon. The Lebanese government bars Palestinians from taking white-collar jobs such as in the law and engineering fields. Palestinian refugees in Jordan, on the other hand, are eligible for Jordanian citizenship.

American Xenophobic Racist Murders Lebanese Man Because He's "Filthy Lebanese Ay-rab" | A Separate State of Mind | A Blog by Elie Fares
August 17, 2016 nedhamson
Vernon Majors did not kill Khalid Jabara because he had an "unusual fixation" with his Lebanese neighbors. He killed them because he was a xenophobic racist terrorist murderer.If the tables were turned and Khalid had been the person to whom all those criteria apply, you wouldn't have hesitated to apply them. You'd have even decided what his entire background was judging by his name, the color of his skin, and the country where he came from.That's not different from what Vernon Majors did. It's not "unusual fixation," it's him making sure Khalid's family knew they were: 'dirty Arabs,' 'filthy Lebanese,' 'Aye-rabs,' and 'Mooslems,' as he told them repeatedly to make sure they knew their place in his world. Not that it matters in the grand scheme of things, but the Jabara family is Christian.The story goes back to last year when Vernon Majors willingly ran over Khalid Jabara's mother trying to kill her. Unfortunately for him, she did not die, and he ended up in jail, but like the good white American that he is, Vernon Majors saw himself out of jail a few weeks ago, back to the same streets, neighboring the Jabara family, and wanting to take out his revenge on them.Picture this: a man who willingly ran over a woman trying to kill her ends up in jail for one year, with no conditions on his bond — no ankle monitor, no drug/alcohol testing. It was as if he never entered.The Jabara family learned of his release. They also knew he had a gun. They also notified the police who informed them they couldn't do anything, because second amendment and all. Minutes after the police left, Khalid went outside of his house to get the mail, and he was fatally shot by Vernon Majors, who has since been apprehended.

For These Syrian Women, Their 20s Have Been Defined by War · Global Voices
March 19, 2016 nedhamson
Now, Syrians account for a quarter of Lebanon's population, and providing them all with aid has become impossible; food vouchers have been reduced and rent assistance slashed. As a result, many are seeking to move abroad. "I cannot imagine a future here in Lebanon," Hassan says. "Five years ago, I was in Syria. Now I'm in Lebanon, even my siblings, two of them … travelled to foreign countries. No, I don't imagine that in two years I will be here in Lebanon." She pauses before adding, "I don't intend to go back to Syria, either, even if things get better. That hatred of the people who killed someone, it will always be around you." For Marwa, a 24-year-old stay-at-home mom from Damascus, adjusting to her new reality took years. "You see this view?" she asks, pointing at the scenic landscape outside her window. "It took me three years to realize how pretty it was. As refugees, we had other concerns." Marwa came to Lebanon along with tens of thousands of others in late 2012, when the war in Syria was spiralling out of control and swaths of the major cities were becoming no-go zones. As new refugees, she moved with her family from village to village, desperately looking for work for her husband and a school that would accept their two young children. When they eventually settled in a small village in Mount Lebanon, they also had to deal with widespread suspicion and mistrust from a population growing increasingly weary of playing host. These days, locals have become accustomed to the extra residents, but while time has improved community relations, it has not been kind to the guests' finances. "My neighbor is going back to Syria," Marwa explains. "Even though there's a lot of suffering there, she's in too much debt here. My husband is thinking the same because he's paid so little at work and can't take it anymore." She throws her hands in the air and says, "I tell him 'You can go back, but I'm not going with you. What did our children do to deserve living in the middle of a war?' "

Two countries had no idea they were in Saudi Arabia's Muslim coalition to fight terrorism – Times of India
December 19, 2015 nedhamson
Despite being a long-term ally of Saudi Arabia, Pakistan has refrained from joining its military exploits, instead reaffirming its position of non-involvement in Middle Eastern conflicts. In November, army spokesman Lt Gen Asim Bajwa stated: "We are not looking for any involvement outside our region."Lebanon was also equally baffled country following the announcement, according to Lebanese media outlet Naharnet. The Prime Minister Tammam Salam reportedly welcomed the news, saying: "Lebanon is at the forefront of the confrontation with terrorism."In contrast the foreign ministry was adamant they had no "memo or phone call mentioning this coalition." They added they had :"No knowledge whatsoever of the issue of forming an Islamic anti-terror coalition."The office also questioned whether the move encroached on their 'constitutional jurisdiction on foreign affairs'.Indonesia was also said to be still deciding whether to join, while Malaysia ruled out any military intervention.

Dear Donald Trump, Meet My Very Scary Muslim Friends | A Separate State of Mind | A Blog by Elie Fares
I honestly and from the deepest parts of my heart wish on you, Mr. Trump, never to be subjected to what these people had to go through: I hope you never know what it is to see your loved ones die in front of you. I hope you never know what it is to see your home destroyed as you drive away from it. I hope you never know what it is to be stuck in limbo, not knowing how to move on with your life or what to do. I hope you never have your worth as a human be valued by how much you can contribute to a society. I hope you never have to be labeled as a terrorist until proven otherwise when you are ALWAYS a perpetual victim. I hope you never have to deal with the likes of you.These are the more than a billion Muslim in the world, Mr. Trump, who live in hellish conditions, whose lives are always contingent upon powers higher up doing whatever they please with their homes simply because they exist on profitable lands, and whose worth as human beings is always dependent on the net price of the oil barrel.These are the more than a billion Muslim in the world who scare you but are incapable of doing any harm to you, while you get people to hate them, to draw weapons at them for simply existing, for believing that they are worthless.
Except you are not a hater of all Muslims, isn't that right? Or is it that you only love those rich Muslims who build golf courses in your name and whose name you can use to say that you have "some Muslims who agree with you" akin to those people who have "gay friends" who agree with them that gay marriage is an abomination.
Isn't that you with Hussain Sajwani, head of Dubai's DAMAC group?
Entertain me for a moment, Mr. Trump, and answer this: How is it that you will screen for Muslims entering your beloved country on its path to greatness? Is there a Muslim gene you isolated? Will you get them to recite Quran verses? Where would that place me, a non-Muslim, who knows quite a few of Quran verses? Do you need me to recite them now or would that scare you?What you're saying Donald Trump is not scary. Let me call it what it is, because most American journalists are somehow still shying away from using the word with you: it's disgusting, revolting, bigoted, racist, Nazi-like and inhumane. Is your middle name Adolf? If not, I suggest you change it to that because the last time someone had such a message broadcast in such a way was post-WWI in Germany and we all know how that turned out to be.

When Solidarity Only Goes So Far | Dame Magazine
As news of the attacks spread, dozens of my Syrian friends, most of whom I have met while they are living as refugees in Lebanon, were changing their profile pictures to the French flag, expressing genuine sympathy—and solidarity—with the people of Paris.One friend, a former tour guide in Palmyra—the oasis of ancient ruins in the Syrian desert that was a UNESCO world heritage site and popular tourist destination before it was recently plundered by the Islamic State—changed his profile picture to an image of the French tricolor superimposed over the ancient city that he once called home."We had to flee ISIS in Tadmur," he says, using the Arabic name for Palmyra. "Now France has a taste of how we felt."Just the day before, I had been having coffee near the memorial at Republique with Bashar, a Syrian refugee who sought asylum in Paris around a year and a half ago. We were talking about whether or not the recent attacks would affect refugee policy in Paris when suddenly, a panicked crowd started running for the café, toppling tables and frantically diving down the stairwell, startled by what turned out to be fireworks, set off at the wrong time."I felt so bad for the people of Paris," said Bashar, as we waited inside of the restaurant's basement kitchen to find out what was going on, and whether or not the coast was clear."I know how it feels because we had to face so much of this in Syria."

Lebanon: Life for Palestinian refugees in Bourj el-Barajneh | OCHA
In the southern suburbs of Lebanon's capital Beirut lies Bourj el-Barajneh, a cramped refugee camp which is home to an estimated 28,000 Palestinian refugees. At least 3,000 people have arrived in the past year, fleeing the violence in Syria. Their arrival has stretched the limited resources available in the camp, leaving many without adequate access to even the most basic public services.The narrow alleys of Bourjel-Barajneh run between numerous buildings – old, new, mostly unfinished or poorly maintained. Most Palestinian refugees living there are completely dependent on organizations like the UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) and other humanitarian partners."Over 90 per cent of the Palestinians here are unemployed so they either depend on assistance or they have to borrow," says Dima Zayat Shehab, a health manager from the American Near East Refugee Aid (ANERA), an international NGO that works with OCHA and UNRWA. "We have found that food and shelter are the two biggest concerns."

Das Tiefland-Spitzhörnchen (Tupaia picta) kommt mit zwei Unterarten im nordwestlichen (Tupaia picta picta) und östlichen (Tupaia picta fuscior) Borneo vor.

Merkmale
Das Tiefland-Spitzhörnchen ist eine große, langgestreckte und schlanke Spitzhörnchenart. Es erreicht eine Kopf-Rumpf-Länge von 17,4 bis 20 cm, hat einen etwa 15 cm langen Schwanz und ca. 42 mm lange Hinterfüße. Das Gewicht der Tiere wurde bisher nicht ermittelt. Der Rücken der Tiere ist graubraun gefärbt, der Bauch ist beige und der Schwanz ist auffallend rötlich. Wie beim Streifen-Spitzhörnchen (Tupaia dorsalis) liegt in der Rückenmitte ein dunkler Streifen, der aber nicht so auffällig ist wie beim Streifen-Spitzhörnchen. Die Schnauze ist nicht besonders lang und die Krallen sind nicht so lang wie die des Tana (T. tana).

Lebensweise
Das Tiefland-Spitzhörnchen kommt in dichten, vom Menschen ungestörten Wäldern und in Akazien-Plantagen bis in Höhen von 1000 Metern vor. In höheren Regionen ist es allerdings seltener. Die Tiere sind tagaktiv und vorwiegend terrestrisch (bodenbewohnend). Auch ihre Nester bauen sie auf dem Erdboden. Das von einem Exemplar genutzte Territorium ist für gewöhnlich größer als 9 ha, wobei die Territorien der Männchen größer sind als die der Weibchen. Über ihre Ernährung und die Fortpflanzung gibt es bisher keine Erkenntnisse.

Gefährdung
Der Bestand des Tiefland-Spitzhörnchens wird von der IUCN als ungefährdet eingeschätzt.

Hospitals, Tennessee universities commit to provide opportunties for Black med students
Methodist partners with universities to help guide med students
By Camille Connor | December 15, 2020 at 4:34 PM CST - Updated December 15 at 7:08 PM
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WMC) - Methodist Le Bonheur Healthcare is making a commitment with universities in Tennessee to help shape the health care workers of tomorrow. Leaders within the health care system recently announced a new partnership that they hope will benefit African American communities.
"We know that there is a shortage of physicians all over the country. We know that there is a shortage of nurses all over the country," said Michael Ugwueke, MLH's President and CEO.
It is why the health care system is joining forces with the University of Memphis and Meharry Medical College.
The goal is to help guide students in their pursuit of careers in medicine, particularly Black students who they hope will one day be able to serve West Tennessee's largely African American communities.
"There will be opportunities for African American kids in Memphis that aspire to go to medical school to be a part of a pipeline project that identifies them early on," explained Ugwuake.
University of Memphis President M. David Rudd is looking forward to the partnership. Rudd said in a statement:
"The UofM is very excited for the opportunity to partner with such tremendous education and industry leaders in healthcare," said UofM President M. David Rudd. "This will enhance our relationship with Methodist Le Bonheur, a highly respected organization in our community that has worked with and supported the UofM for years. It will begin a new and promising relationship with Meharry Medical College, an institution we view as one of the very best nationally in training students to effectively identify health disparities and treat patients, especially those in underserved communities. It should help us attract students interested in an accelerated pathway to medical school and training in Memphis and, hopefully, create the opportunity for an eventual fully functional satellite campus of Meharry Medical College in Memphis."
Ugwueke also believes that having medical professionals serving in their own communities can help address health disparities.
"What is better than to have people that you know taking care of you," he said. "The trust is extremely important."

Pilgrimage: Exploring the Mogao Grottoes of Dunhuang
By Samantha Li
From news.cgtn.com
The Mogao Grottoes, also known as the Caves of the Thousand Buddhas, are located at the western end of China's Gansu Province, just 25 kilometers outside the oasis town of Dunhuang. A UNESCO World Heritage Sites, a total of 735 caves have been identified as part of this complex, with 45,000 square meters of murals and 2,415 stucco statues discovered. The 492 surviving grottoes that contain artwork preserve a variety of Chinese Buddhist art dating back at least a thousand years. These diverse paintings, sculptures, and examples of architecture range from the early fifth to the 14th centuries, encompassing temporally almost the entirety of Buddhist art in Asia. (Fan et. al. 2013, 33)
In this article, I explore not just the magnificent, living legacy of the Mogao Grottoes, but also four main ways in which people have interacted with this heritage site: as a place of lived religious significance for most of its life; as a trove of archaeological interest and dubiously acquired wealth and taste in the 19th century; as a modern-day tourist destination; and, finally, its contemporary identity as a world heritage site to be shared, researched, and protected by the global community.
Centuries of cultivation
In Cave 332 is an inscription (bei ji 碑記) titled "Li Junxiu's Account of Buddhist Shrines" (li junxiu cibei fo kanbei 李君修慈悲佛龕碑). Carved in 698, during the reign of Empress Wu (r. 690–705), "Li Junxiu's Account of Buddhist Shrines" tells the tale of a Buddhist monk, Lè Zūn (樂尊, which might also be pronounced Yuezun), who was passing by the mountainous, barren area in 366 CE. He was on a journey along one of the overland routes connecting China to the oasis kingdoms and the westernmost regions of India. While at the site, Lè Zūn had a vision of a thousand Buddhas bathed in golden light, and was inspired to build the first of the Buddhist caves.
Whatever the historicity of this account, the site continued to grow over the centuries, with increasing numbers of monks carving out niches and caves, before connecting them with tunnels and passageways that became a grotto complex by the Northern Liang dynasty (397–439), complete with a small monastic community. The caves were a place of meditation and visualization, as demonstrated by the vivid depictions of otherworldly realms, pure lands, Mahayana-inspired celestial beings (including those unique to a cross-cultural hub like Dunhuang, such as apsaras), buddhas, and bodhisattvas. This magnificent complex, of course, could not have been accomplished without the pious assistance and sponsorship of Buddhist laypeople (almost overwhelmingly of financial means, royal patronage, or social prestige). Members of the Northern Wei (386–534) and Northern Zhou (557–581) sponsored many caves at Mogao, and wealthy laypeople of the Sui (581–618) and Tang dynasties (618–907) also financed the construction of caves and the erection of monuments within.

The ambiguous legacy of the Library Cave
One of the most significant of the Mogao Grottoes is known as the Library Cave (Cave 17). This grotto, sealed for nearly a thousand years, was discovered by a Daoist practitioner, the so-called "abbot" Wang Yuanlu, in 1900, while he was undertaking amateur maintenance and cleaning in Cave 16. He was a self-appointed custodian of the caves, which had long been abandoned, and his ecclesiastic qualifications are also uncertain. He noticed a hidden door in Cave 16, which opened into the Library Cave.
Cave 17 contained more than 50,000 manuscripts, written or painted between the fourth and 11th centuries. Ninety per cent of them were religious scriptures, encompassing Buddhism, Daoism, Manichaeism, Nestorianism, and Zoroastrianism. They were invaluable for not only their content but also their languages: in addition to Chinese, texts were written in Khotanese, Kuchean, Sanskrit, Sogdian, Tibetan, Turkic, Uighur, and more. The Library Cave was an immense and rich resource that provided invaluable insights into the religions, history, geography, politics, economics, arts, literature, technologies, folk customs, and astronomy in Central Asia and in China.
The story of Wang Yuanlu is not black and white, as he did attempt to approach local authorities to gain funding for the conservation of the caves. His later sale of a largely random selection of the scriptures to Sir Aurel Stein (1862–1943), who was one of the first European explorers to visit Dunhuang in 1907 (Fan et. al. 2013, v), and later Paul Pelliot (1878–1945), marked perhaps the nadir of foreign acquisition and "looting" of Chinese cultural, historical, and religious artifacts (second only to the burning of the Old Summer Palace in 1860 and the Boxer Rebellion in 1901).
The Mogao Grottoes had remained unknown in the West until the arrival of Stein and others. The genuinely thorough and credible scholarship conducted by these early Sinologists and Buddhologists from Europe, the Americas, and Japan also marked the first true explosion of international interest in the importance of Dunhuang. Furthermore, these foreign acquisitions arguably spurred a reawakening of popular Chinese awareness of the need for stewardship and protection of culturally and historically significant sites. It was a critical component of national pride.
In 1941, the Chinese painter Zhang Daqian (1899–1983) arrived at Dunhuang and began work copying and repairing the murals. He exhibited and published his copies of the murals in 1943, which brought the artwork of the Mogao Caves to national attention. Zhang's "art gallery in the desert" coincided with the establishment of the Dunhuang Academy in 1944. Known first as the Dunhuang National Art Research Institute (indicating the centrality of art in the government's interest in the site), the Dunhuang Academy is the official guardian of the Mogao Grottoes. To this day, it remains at the forefront of conservation and management in China, and has collaborated with international organizations from countries over the world, including Australia, Japan, the UK, and the US.

From tourism to technology
The 1980s saw a coinciding transformation of not only China's economy, but also that of the Mogao Grottoes and the contemporary city of Dunhuang. There was an increase in worldwide exhibitions focused on the romanticism of the Silk Road and Dunhuang's place as a critical node along the overland routes. As China opened up to the world from the 1980s, tourism to the country also grew. The Mogao Grottoes were among the sites of interest for Chinese and non-Chinese tourists alike, and this also meant an increasing number of conservators, scholars, and other heritage professionals coming to China to study and conserve Mogao.
Since 1989, the Getty Conservation Institute has been working with the Dunhuang Academy on site conservation and management. The Principles for the Conservation of Heritage Sites in China were promulgated in 2000, with bilingual versions published in 2002 and 2004. This was the first set of "national guidelines for cultural heritage practice in China." In 2010, ICOMOS China and the State Administration of Cultural Heritage undertook a comprehensive revision and expansion of the original volume with participation from the Getty Conservation Institute, completing the new version in 2015. ICOMOS China's website notes that: "The aim of the revision was to update and clarify the principles in light of recent thinking and practice in China, and to better reflect the broad understanding that now prevails internationally as to what constitutes cultural heritage." (ICOMOS China)
Statistics for 2007 provided by the Dunhuang Academy to the China Daily newspaper show that 3,000–5,000 tourists visited the Mogao Grottoes every day during the May–October tourist season. This figure easily surpassed the estimated daily capacity of 2,900 people. This was bad news for the condition of the murals and artworks within, which were vulnerable to skin oils (if visitors touched said articles), prolonged exposure to carbon dioxide, humidity from the human breath, and accidental damage from packed crowds. Later statistics from January–July 2016 showed that the number of visitors had jumped 31 per cent [RL1] [LWS2], to a staggering 598,000 in those six months. Capacity was pushed to breaking point in 2014, with a daily limit of reserved tickets set at 6,000 per day, and an additional 12,000 emergency tickets put aside for the peak travel season.
For decades, balancing the demands of the wider public and conservation of the grottoes has been a core concern of the Dunhuang Academy. This concern has since shifted in favor of conservation over tourism. As with many other Buddhist heritage sites in China and beyond, governments and conservators are developing a philosophy that prioritizes digitization of entire sites through cutting-edge technology such as 3D printing, so that visitors to the original sites can be gradually reduced and redirected to entire tourist centers, museums, and exhibits with replicas of caves and digital tours. Emphasis is placed on interactivity (such as narration and scanning bar codes for information about specific items), atmospheric authenticity, and scholarly input to offer an overall better package for visitors than just the "genuineness" of going to the original site. This emergent "museology," which places a premium on the experience of a museum or exhibition, is thanks to a combination of advancing technology and the now-dominant position that conservation is based on preserving what remains, rather than restoration and reconstruction. If a site of religious, historical, and cultural significance is to simply be maintained without a full restoration, it follows that the "complete" site can be replicated for posterity, with the original site ideally left undisturbed save for occasional visits by conservators and researchers.
There is a poetic irony in the idea that the Mogao Grottoes, sealed for so long until the 19th Century, will one day be sealed off once more, this time in the name of preserving them. Yet this will not be in vain; the Grottoes will be closed in the distant future precisely because conservators from the Dunhuang Academy and participating organizations will have mapped every nook and cranny of every cave, catalogued every related scripture, mural, sculpture, and other items, and digitized them in large computer systems and databases that will be shared with researchers around the world. In turn, this data will become components of exhibitions in museums and online, which replicate the real thing with almost perfect accuracy. In a very real sense, the Mogao Caves, once a cosmopolitan hub of Silk Road Buddhists, will have truly gone global.
The original site, no longer active in its original intent—pilgrimage, meditation, and visualization—will have served its purpose. Like a Buddhist mirage, it will retreat back into its sandy mountainside forever, watched over by Wang Yuanlu's wiser and better-informed successors.

Q: java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException during view state saving when using PrimeFaces treeTable inside TabView of a composite component I am facing an java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException during view state saving with the combination of TabView and TreeTable.
 I have a list of TreeNodes and I create a TreeTable for each of them. Every p:treeTable is inside a composite component which in turn is contained in a p:tab. Some of the column of the treetables have p:input element and I am using p:ajax to process the value and update some dom objects using primefaces "update" attribute of "p:ajax". For treetable of treenode with index > 0, when the ajax get fired for any row with index superior to the first treenode (index =0) size I get the following error:
    java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException: Index: 19, Size: 4

I am using PrimeFaces 3.5 with Mojarra 2.1.17.

A: hi this is a bug in primefaces which seems not to be fixed https://code.google.com/p/primefaces/issues/detail?id=5255
what helped me was resetting the three after changing my nodes in my action-function
// update/remove etc nodes
super.initTree(user);
// find the UITree component
List<UIComponent> findComponent2 = Utils.findComponent("tree");
Tree uiComponent = (Tree) findComponent2.get(1);
// reset tree
uiComponent.setRowKey(null);

my find function looks like that, but i think using a binding-variable is much better... this was just my first shot
public static List<UIComponent> findComponent(final String id) {
    FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
    UIViewRoot root = context.getViewRoot();
    final List<UIComponent> result = new ArrayList<>();

    try {
        root.visitTree(new FullVisitContext(context), new VisitCallback() {
            @Override
            public VisitResult visit(VisitContext context, UIComponent component) {
                if (component.getId().toLowerCase().contains(id)) {
                    result.add(component);
                }
                return VisitResult.ACCEPT;
            }
        });
    } catch (Exception e) {
    }
    return result;
}

Strictly use drugs on orders of the doctor
Tuesday, January 8, 2019 18:29
Depression should not drive you to resort to drugs that are not prescribed by relevant doctors. FILE PHOTO | NMG
Qn. My uncle is fond of taking medicine at any given opportunity and without a doctor's prescription. How do with remove him from this habit?
Two years ago, we saw a man in his 60s who was referred to us by a surgeon. He had been presented to the Accident and Emergency (A&E) department with severe bleeding through his rectum. He had bled a great deal and was in fact admitted directly to the ICU where he received many units of blood.
It was at first assumed that he had some kind of cancer in the colon that had caused the bleeding. When all tests proved negative, he was asked if he had been taking any medication before the bleeding started.
Like your uncle, he had been taking many different drugs without any medical supervision. He was taking a number of Non-Steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) to help him deal with the multiple pains and aches he was experiencing. For headache he took aspirin. For backache he took Diclofenac and for joint pains he took brufen. He also took Indocin when things got real bad, as they did in the cold season.
The local chemist knew him well, and was happy with the regular income from this now retired man.

DR NJENGA: Identify your insomnia trigger for true healing
A review of his drug taking habits revealed that this man was lucky to be alive. In addition to the problems related to bleeding, these and other drugs that he had been taking had damaged his kidneys.
After several weeks in hospital, the man's physical health was restored. Mentally he remained severely depressed. His story was typical of many men of his age. He had, at the age of 60 retired from a multinational company where he had worked all his life.
For 35 years, he worked in the accounts department, where he rose from a clerk to the chief accountant. CPA exams had proved difficult at section IV and further promotions were not possible. His obsessional and meticulous nature had ensured that he had not been late to work, even once, all the time he had worked there. When his wife was due to have a baby, he made sure he was on leave that week so as not to inconvenience the company by taking time off without notice.
For as long as he worked there, all his work was on time, orderly, neat and complete. No boss ever had reason to question him about the quality of his work. Not a single penny was lost under his watch.
At the local church, he was the people's warden, meaning (in church parlance) that he was the custodian of order in there. He was the link between the people and the clergy. He ensured that Sunday collections were counted, checked and banked. He sat at the same spot in church every Sunday. Other than his wife, it was said that nobody had seen him without a tie! Rumours were that he only removed his tie in the bedroom.
His shirts, shoes and car were the envy of all. Always clean. His only fault, it turned out was that he did not want to waste money (or time) consulting doctors. The chemist was, after all "a doctor" who had dispensed medication for many years!
Upon retirement, he went back home in the rural area, where he knew nobody. His parents had died, his siblings had friends he did not know, and many of his classmates were dead of old age.
He came back to his home in Buru Buru and promptly became very depressed. He used all the NSAIDs to control the pain from depression.
His wife who still worked for a bank had her own life with her investment club (chama) friends and the church group. The grandchildren also kept her busy. He had spent very little time with them as he was busy at work and with the church matters.
Without the title "chief accountant" this man had nothing left to do. He floated in Buru Buru with his depression, taking medication without prescription. He could have died! How much of this man do you see in your uncle? Many depressed people take many different tablets to try and deal with the multiple symptoms of depression. Some are addicted to sleeping pills!
Antidepressants is what turned his life round again. He got better on just one tablet a day. He now enjoys church, grandchildren, as well as long walks in the estate!

British Tycoon Mike Lynch Back in Court — Ben Keith quoted in Bloomberg
Ben Keith	| 8 February 2021
Click here to view Ben Keith's profile page
Ben Keith comments in Bloomberg on the potential U.S. prosecution of Mike Lynch. The article was originally published on 7 February 2021 and can be viewed here.
British software tycoon Mike Lynch spent almost a year battling Hewlett-Packard Enterprise Co. in a London court. This week, he prepares to face U.S. prosecutors seeking to have him stand trial in America to face criminal charges.
Lynch is still waiting for the judge's verdict on the $5 billion civil claim brought by HP -- some twelve months after the hearings finished. He's now fighting extradition on charges stemming from HP's purchase of his firm, Autonomy Corp., and its ignominious downfall.
The Department of Justice alleges that Lynch oversaw a fraud at Autonomy by boosting sales, making his firm more attractive to HP. The U.S. hardware giant acquired Autonomy for $11 billion in 2011 only to write down the value by $8.8 billion a year later.
"In actual fact, there's quite a lot of hoops that you have to go through to show you could be prosecuted in the U.K. rather than in U.S.," Keith said, noting that Lynch's lawyers will have to address where any harm from the alleged fraud occurred.
"It's not a decision on his guilt or innocence," Keith said. "That's solely a matter for a jury in the U.S."
But Lynch, who made more than $800 million from the sale, is opposing any move to America, aiming to take advantage of a key amendment to the U.S-U.K. extradition treaty. He's set to assert that Britain would have been a more appropriate place for a criminal trial, even though local prosecutors chose not to pursue an investigation.
It's an argument that was successfully made by a former HSBC Holdings Plc banker, Stuart Scott. He was the bank's head of currency trading, and the court blocked his extradition after deciding that much of the alleged misconduct took place in the U.K.
Lynch for his part has insisted from the outset that he should never be tried in America.
U.K. Matters
"These matters concern a British citizen, U.K.-based conduct, a U.K. listed Plc, culminating in a U.K. civil trial in which judgment is pending -- these matters unquestionably belong here in the U.K.," Lynch's lawyer Alex Bailin said at an earlier hearing.
British lawmakers including David Davis said last year that the treaty is unequal and that the U.K. government should delay the extradition until the judgment in Lynch's London case was known.
The civil trial wrapped up last year with Lynch saying that HP spent tens of millions of dollars attempting to prove fraud, but failed to tie him to any wrongdoing. His attorney argued that HP brought the case "out of buyer's remorse."
Judge Robert Hildyard is still writing his ruling in the civil case, but the extradition judge, Michael Snow, won't be making a final decision on the alleged misconduct.
Ben Keith is a leading specialist in Extradition and International Crime, as well as dealing with Immigration, Serious Fraud, and Public law. He has extensive experience of appellate proceedings before the Administrative and Divisional Courts, Criminal and Civil Court of Appeal as well as applications and appeals to the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) and United Nations. Ranked in Chambers and Partners as a band 1 leader in the field of Extradition at the London Bar and in the Legal 500 as a Tier 1 leading individual in international crime and extradition.

First each line is mapped into the number of words it contains. Then those numbers are reduced and the maximum is taken. Pretty simple: one single line of code stays here for something which requires hundreds of lines in other parallel paradigms such as Hadoop. Spark supports two types of operations: transformations, which create a new RDD dataset from an existing one, and actions, which return a value to the driver program after running a computation on the dataset. All transformations in Spark are lazy because the computation is postponed as much as possible until the results are really needed by the program.

Description I hope this is the right place.
I'm wondering if there is planned support for temperature and fan control for ATI x1900xtx display card?
Is there any support for ATI display cards?
I've an ATi x1950xt and in the info window there's a line that says "Unknown Winbond2=$BE49 ID=$00 on SMBus at $22"
Could this be the video card?
I've uploaded my report some days back.
Is there going to be support for ATi cards?
Yes, finally support for ATI/AMD cards.
Unfortunately I can't test my x1900 as it died awhile ago, but my Sapphire HD4870 works nicely.
