Have you been so concerned with a problem that you have felt the tension in your arms, legs or chest? Have you been so stressed out that you lost sleep over it? Solomon is telling us he has seen the futility of life under the sun. In this section (Ecclesiastes 1:17-2:26) his futility gives way to frustration. He is leaving "no stone unturned" in his search for the meaning of life.
William D. Barrick refers to the first two chapters of Ecclesiastes as Solomon's honest confession. He can't solve life's most important issues without God. It is highly unusual for a king of this era to admit to "failure, frustration and folly." But God uses failure, frustration and folly to draw wandering prodigals back to Himself.
Wisdom – The more we know, the less it seems we know.
Wm. Barrick – "What is crooked cannot be straightened" (a proverb). In essence, mankind cannot change all that is done under heaven. C'est la vie (that's life). "With wisdom comes much grief" (another proverb). In essence the more wisdom obtained the greater the grief. Solomon keeps reaching the same conclusion that man cannot save himself.
Why does pleasure lead to disappointment (under the sun)? We seek the ultimate meaning out of that which is temporary and perishable.
Work is not evil. God put Adam in the Garden and gave him work to do. We are wired to work. Unfortunately, for some accomplishments in their work give them the feeling that they are captains of their souls, masters of their destiny.
Wealth – wealth cannot be taken with us when we die. Where is the advantage of wealth? "The more we have the more we want what we don't have." (Dr. D. Jeremiah).
More about work – Solomon struggles with the realization that labor doesn't produce anything that will endure for eternity. Futility of labor is equivalent to a hamster on an exercise wheel. Additionally, there is a realization that death levels the playing field. It comes for everyone; both the lazy and hard-working, the wealthy and poor, the renowned and anonymous. Work done under the sun is not lasting in the light of eternity.
Why did Solomon use the word "hate" referencing his toil? He couldn't keep the fruits of his labor (his toil ultimately is handed to others). Secondly, he couldn't protect its fruits (those who receive it won't have the same appreciation as the person who produced it). Finally, wealth can't be enjoyed as it should (a lifetime of toil leaves relatively little time to enjoy it).

Dr. David Jeremiah in his book, Searching for Heaven on Earth, offers this key to finding happiness – an open pair of hands. He assures us that the Christ-centered follower can experience happiness in wisdom, wealth, work and pleasure (under the sun). God is the dispenser of pleasurable pursuits and we are the receiver. Our Lord can bless us with possessions, wisdom, pleasure, and employment. Our job is to keep our cupped hands open and resist the human urge to close them selfishly. When we keep our hands open we are allowing God to give and take his blessings as he chooses for his glory. We must remember that God's resources are limitless. Don't close your hands and cut yourself off of from His blessings.
Remember to pray with your hands open.

The author of Ecclesiastes is believed to be King Solomon of Israel, the wisest and wealthiest man that ever lived. We can learn quite a bit about him by reading passages found in 1 Kings, Proverbs, Psalms, and Song of Solomon and elsewhere. The biblical text tells us that Solomon was King David's son (Israel's most beloved king).
1 Kings 3:3 states that Solomon loved God and walked in his statues just as his father David had done. God was pleased with Solomon appeared to him in a dream. It was in that dream Solomon asked for wisdom, which God gave to him.
During his reign, everything Solomon touched seemed to turn to gold. These were the glory days of Israel, times of success and excess. But King Solomon, the wisest of men, turned away from God as he aged. 1 Kings 11:4 says when Solomon was old his heart served the foreign gods known to his many of his wives. Ecclesiastes is said to be written in Solomon's twilight years.
There are a number of possibilities as to how the book came to be titled Ecclesiastes. My favorite possibility stems from the Greek word ekklesia, which means an assembly. The person addressing the assembly in Ecclesiastes is simply called "the Preacher", which is a title given to an official person who speaks before an assembly.
The opening words of Ecclesiastes are certainly troubling, "Vanity, vanity. All is vanity." These words come from a King who has seen it all, done it all and possessed it all. The word "vanity" has a wide variety of meanings in scripture, these range from emptiness, futility, a vapor that vanishes quickly leaving nothing behind, and more. All is vanity.
We need to remind ourselves we are looking into the life of a man who is facing the certainty of death and reflecting back over his life. The Hebrew word for man is adam. Adam was the first man, formed from the earth and since that time when each man dies he returns to the earth. Gain (profit), or yitron, means that which is left over, surplus. Toil, or amal, in this case suggests laboring to the point of exhaustion while experiencing little or no fulfillment in your work (grief, weariness and frustration are implied).
(a) Solomon sees man as a transient being set against the backdrop of creation (which continues on indefinitely). We make an appearance, have a brief pilgrimage, and then we die. The certainty of death makes our efforts appear futile.
The monotony of nature's reoccurring cycles signals the intelligent design of our universe. Our Creator did not intend us to experience life like a hamster on an exercise wheel. We are pilgrims, not prisoners of monotony.
(b) When we are wearied by life, we desperately want something new or different to offer as a distraction or to deliver us from monotony. So, our eyes and ears never have their fill. Solomon points out that there really isn't anything new (under the sun). We may think things are new because we have a bad memory (v11). Methods and technology may change but principles never do. If we seek eternal bliss in something that's temporary or perishable, invariably we are disappointed.
If we seek true happiness, a change in perspective is needed. We need to start viewing life from above the sun or eternal perspective. Paul tells we are new creations when we accept Christ as our savior: "the old is gone, the new has come!" 2 Corinthians 5:17.

The Key to Happiness is?
I am leading a group study of the biblical book of Ecclesiastes. I began our study today with a question. "The key to happiness is _______. A simple, fill in the blank answer. I did get a few great answers from the class, but no one thought of my suggestion.
The key to happiness is a glass of water.
I proceeded to pour a half glass of water. As I poured, I posed another question to them, "Are you a glass is half full or a glass is half empty kind of person?" People from both persuasions participated in a show of hands. I asked the "glass is have empty" folks, "At any time did you see me empty anything out of the glass?" I had not emptied anything out. I only filled it half full.
I proposed to them that this glass of water represented a solitary persons life essence; their successes, achievements, financial well-being, family, etc. Everything valued in life.
My questioning continued…So, are we thankful for what we have (water already in the glass) or are we focused on what we don't have (empty portion of the glass). The challenge we face is being happy and content with what we already have in our glass.
Next, a handful of other glasses were poured. This time the glasses received varying degrees of water, each much less than half full. Some glasses with barely enough water to cover the bottom. If, our half full glass subject mingled with the less fortunate, wouldn't he or she be more appreciative of what they had in their glass. They may even be compelled to share some of their water it with the less fortunate. It is becoming apparent that perspective may have something to do with happiness.
To make another point I poured all the water out of each glass, including the half full one. "Which glass had the advantage now?" I asked. None of them. This, I said happens to each of us. When we die our glass is empty. Hence the opening lines of Ecclesiastes, "Vanity, Vanity all is vanity!" Where is the advantage for all our toil?
For my final point, I filled each of the empty glasses to the brim. As believers in Jesus Christ, life does not end when we die. Jesus, In John 10:10 said that he came to give us life, abundant life! This abundant life can be enjoyed in the here and now as we journey through life.
I decided to give the class a homework assignment. The next time each of you pours a glass, stop halfway and think of something that you are thankful for. Then, fill the glass the rest of the way. As you continue to pour, remember the abundant life we have in Christ.
Yes, the key to happiness can be found in a glass of water!

Relationships are like anchors. They keep us from running aground. When anchors are removed a natural tendency is to drift out to sea.
A relationship with God is equivalent to an infallible anchor. Not only can He anchor ones soul, but He can also guide us back to safe harbors and away from storm-tossed seas .

I want to thank everyone who has supported Own The Dollar during 2008. It has been great to write the blog for the past four months. I thought it might be interesting to take a look back at some of the blog's most popular posts throughout 2008, the blog's first year.


Users can scale services to fit their needs, customize applications and access cloud services from anywhere with an internet connection.
Enterprise users can get applications to market quickly, without worrying about underlying infrastructure costs or maintenance.
Cloud services give enterprises a competitive advantage by providing the most innovative technology available.
Cloud infrastructure scales on demand to support fluctuating workloads.
Users can choose public, private or hybrid storage offerings, depending on security needs and other considerations.
Organizations can determine their level of control with as-a-service options.
These include software as a service (SaaS), platform as a service (PaaS) and infrastructure as a service (IaaS).
Users can select from a menu of prebuilt tools and features to build a solution that fits their specific needs.
Virtual private cloud, encryption and API keys help keep data secure.
Cloud-based applications and data are accessible from virtually any internet-connected device.
Developing in the cloud enables users to get their applications to market quickly.
Hardware failures do not result in data loss because of networked backups.
Cloud computing uses remote resources, saving organizations the cost of servers and other equipment.
A "utility" pay structure means users only pay for the resources they use.
Cloud service providers (CSPs) manage underlying infrastructure, enabling organizations to focus on application development and other priorities.
Service providers regularly update offerings to give users the most up-to-date technology.
Worldwide access means teams can collaborate from widespread locations.
Organizations can move more nimbly than competitors who must devote IT resources to managing infrastructure.
Many companies position the low initial costs and pay-as-you-go attributes as a very significant cost savings. They'll note the considerable cost of building and operating data centers and argue for avoiding that to save money. Numbers can get astronomical depending on how you calculate them.
A software-as-a-service provider may discuss the savings from paying for application access versus purchasing off-the-shelf software. Software providers will add those "cloud attribute" benefits to the specifics of their software. Recently, there has been more discussion regarding the savings that cloud-based platforms can offer developers.
How much is it worth to your business if you can get a new application up and running in 30 hours rather than six to nine months? Likewise, the generic "staff productivity" doesn't do justice to the capabilities that cloud dashboards, real-time statistics and active analytics can bring to reducing administration burden. How much does a "person hour" cost your company?
Is it riskier to buy all the hardware and software to create 128 virtual machines, or rent it by the hour?
If you are not sure your application will get widespread adoption, should you draft a 12-month plan, build the environment, write and test the code, and release it?
Is it better to prove value using free or next-to-free services for a few weeks?
If you asked me how to benefit from adopting cloud services, my first question would be, "Which services?" Every user and every organization is going to get a different set of benefits. The most important thing I can suggest is to think across the spectrum. Evaluate the potential savings, but also think about the soft benefits: improved productivity, more speed and lowered risk.
As hockey great Wayne Gretzky observed, you will miss 100 percent of the shots that you don't take. How much of a benefit is it to take your shot?


Taiwo Awoniyi scored the only goal in Royal Excel Mouscron's win against Sporting Lokeren at Stade Le Cannonier on Saturday.
The former Nigeria U23 international, who is reportedly in coach Gernot Rohr's Africa Cup of Nations plans, netted on 52 minutes to help secure Les Hurlus a sixth consecutive win — and maintain their 100 percent record in the Jupiler Pro League in 2019.
Awoniyi had a frustrating first half of the 2018-19 season while on loan at KAA Gent, failing to find the back of the net in 16 league games.
In January, the on-loan Liverpool striker, 21, cut short the loan deal to rejoin Mouscron, having joined them on loan in 2017.
Since making the move to Bernd Stork's side, the forward has rediscovered his goalscoring form, and has netted five goals in six games.
The forward hit the roof of the near post after Sidney Friede's miscued effort fell to him. He was replaced by Frandtzy Pierrot in the 84th minute.
The goal took the 2013 FIFA Under-17 World Cup winner's tally to five in six appearances since joining the Belgium Gunners last month — which means he's just two goals away from equalling his Jupiler Pro League record during his first loan spell at the club.
During his six-month stay with Gent, Awoniyi netted three times — a brace against First Amateur Division club, Royal Excelsior Virton in the Belgium Cup round of 32 and a goal against Polish club, Jagiellonia Bialystok in the 2018-19 UEFA Europa League third qualifying round.


This document describes the signal processing algorithms developed for the computation of the value of a set of physiological related indicators on the bases of measurements captured by the different types of sensors defined by WP2. A preliminary version of the deliverable has been submitted on M16. In the preliminary version, a set of relevant and informative indicators has been presented. These indicators have been identified from the state-of-the-art analysis and the experience of the participating partners. In addition, a set of supervised machine learning (ML) algorithms and knowledge based approaches are employed for the fusion of information extracted from the collected measurements. At this point it should be mentioned that the measurements of the quantification campaigns were not available at the time of this deliverable preparation and the presented indicators are expected to be slightly modified as soon as the quantification dataset will be available. A number of acoustic measurements were collected and used for monitoring drug usage and medication adherence. Therefore, the preliminary version of D4.2 presented the methodology for the extraction of informative indicators from acoustic measurements and the use of supervised ML approaches for the assessment of adherence of patients that use of pressurized Metered Dose Inhalers (pMDIs). This methodology has been applied to the available acoustic recordings and will be applied to additional data that will be available upon the completion of the Quantification Campaigns, end will be included in future version of this deliverable.
This deliverable initially provides a state-of-the-art analysis on the extraction of asthma related indicators, by presenting related works and the parameters recorded in the framework of the project. In section 2, the developed data processing algorithms for the extraction of asthma related indicators, are described. The application of these algorithms to audio signals is explained for identifying events that determine the pMDI usage adherence. In addition to the time-series analysis, the intelligent processing method used for the analysis of questionnaires is presented. Section 3 includes the classification used for evaluating critical parameters related to asthma, using state-of-the-art classifiers. In section 4 the monitoring process for the audio date set is described, along with processing algorithms, the cloud based server and the user interface. Section 5 describes the framework used for managing uncertainty of the system due to incompleteness and noise of wearable sensors, through the integration of the machine learning (ML) methods with compressed sensing and matrix completion approaches. The proposed solution enables the energy efficient monitoring of metered dose inhaler usage, by exploiting the specific characteristics of the reconstructed audio features at the receiver. Simulation studies, for indoor & outdoor data sets revealed high levels of accuracy (above 98%) by transmitting data streams in the range of 2% of the recorded audio series to the receiver, demonstrating the potential of this method for the development of novel energy efficient inhalers and medical devices in the area of respiratory medicine.

Discussion of the execution of the Localization Program and the import reduction plan
On February 21, President of the Republic of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev held a meeting devoted to the analysis of the ongoing activities on reducing the volume of imports and expanding production of localized products, determining the most important tasks in this direction.
This was reported by the Press Service of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan.
Earlier, on April 19, 2017, a meeting was held on these issues, where specific measures were identified on optimizing the volume and range of imports through expansion of localization. In accordance with them, a number of activities were carried out last year.
In particular, within the framework of the Localization Program, production to 9,9 trillion sums has been produced. Products for $512 million or 20 percent more than in 2016 were exported. The output of 100 new types of products was mastered, imports in basic industries decreased by $353 million.
The Head of the state, considering the implementation of the Localization Program and the import reduction plan, criticized the shortcomings. It was noted that in 2017, production did not start on 176 out of 948 localization projects, production forecasts on 218 projects was not fulfilled.
Thus, according to 77 projects of the Agency for Development of Pharmaceutical Industry, production was not provided for 206 billion sums. 12 projects of JSC "Uzbekozikovkatholding" (food industry), 17 projects of JSC "Uzavtosanoat" (automobile industry), 65 projects in the city of Tashkent and the same number in Tashkent region have not been implemented at the proper level.
The fact that the import reduction plan for 1 billion 81 million dollars was executed by 88 percent was criticized.
(Source: UzA)
In the Fergрana region, special attention is paid to the construction of specialized refrigerated warehouses for winter storage of fruit and vegetable products, to ensure the stability of prices in the markets and export the goods abroad
Five such warehouses were put into operation in Altyaryk district in 2017. Now the region boasts as many as 35 storage facilities with a total capacity of 37 thousand tons.
But, despite the increase in the number of refrigerated warehouses, the need for such facilities remains high in the area, as farmer and dehkan farms, the owners of the homestead lands shore up yields year after year.
Currently, the farmers of the region are effectively using the achievements of science, innovative ideas and technologies. Scientists of agricultural sphere and experts in agriculture have jointly formed in the region a school of exchange of experience and skill. The traditions of creating new varieties, adaptation of imported seeds and seedlings to local climatic conditions, practical application of local and mineral fertilizers, combating diseases and pests, building greenhouses, efficient use of every inch of land, obtaining 3-4 harvests per year from homestead land are formed.
"In the near future, the implementation of projects is envisaged at the expense of attracting investments in the amount of 85.2 billion soums (currency rates of CB RU from 01.02.2018, 1$= 8182,73 soums) and $ 430 thousand," says Holmirza Niyozov, hokim of the Altyaryk district. "100 promising projects have been developed in the fields of agriculture, industry, service delivery, system monitoring of the full implementation of tasks for each target area is being conducted. In 2017, under the programs of social and economic development, 81 projects were implemented, 728 new jobs were created."
Currently, 187 horticultural farms operate in the region. They have 788 hectares of intensive gardens and 215 hectares of vineyards. Last year, agricultural products worth $ 14.8 million were exported from Altyarik to the world market.
It is gratifying that the farmers of Altyaryk district tend to be among the foremost not only in harvesting, but also in processing and exporting products. A young farmer Isokhon Boymatov in his farm effectively uses a refrigerating warehouse with a capacity of 300 tons. He grows six hectares of export-oriented grape varieties, in 2018 plans to get a big profit from the export of fruits and vegetables.
"Last year I took part in a prestigious forum, which was held in Tashkent for the first time in connection with the Day of Agricultural Workers," said Boymatov. "After the speech of the President of our country at the meeting on the occasion of the Day of Agricultural Workers, I decided to expand the scope of activities. Now we are preparing a business plan for organizing a workshop for processing and packing fruits, setting up export of finished products at a farm."
REGIONS: Khorezm region
Privileges Waiting for Initiative-inclined
Five new small industrial zones (SIZ) are expected to be established soon in the Khorezm region.
New zones are to emerge each in Urgench, Khazarasp and Shavat districts, and two others in the city of Urgench.
For their successful development, Shavkat Mirziyoyev instructed the Fund for the Reconstruction and Development of Uzbekistan to open a special loan package in the amount of $ 50 million. The moneys will be used to co-finance investment projects implemented in the SIZ, as well as in the Khazarasp free economic zone.
Public real estate located in the territory of the zones will be transferred to the business for five years lease. Under consideration are nine sites, including former kindergartens, medical and educational institutions.
In the future, if the parameters of business plans are met, as much as the goals of creating and maintaining jobs, timely payment of all taxes and other mandatory payments, this property will be transferred to the ownership of entrepreneurs who used them. In the meantime, the head of state freed the business from payment of rent for the use of these facilities.
After the conclusion of the contract, the administration of the zones will also assist entrepreneurs in working out design estimates and, if necessary, in preparing the package of documents for obtaining concessional lending. In addition, hokimiyats of districts and cities, with the support of Uzbekenergo and Uztransgaz companies, will build the necessary engineering communications and infrastructure at their own expense.

UZBEKISTAN - THE COUNTRY OF TOURISM
The Association of Private Tourism Organizations of Uzbekistan and the European Center for Eco and Agrotourism are planning to introduce the Travelife system in Uzbekistan, which facilitates the promotion of tourism goods and services in the European market.
The scheme involves the certification of hotels in accordance with the requirements of the Travelife system. The certificate of this system means that the hotel or the catering station meets its requirements. Today, the system is widespread in Europe and many countries with which the travel agencies of the European Union cooperate.
The first step on the way to its implementation was seminars for Uzbek restaurateurs and hoteliers, which were held last weekend in Tashkent. They were conducted by Chris Thomson, an international expert from the United Kingdom.
According to the Association of Private Tourism Organizations of Uzbekistan, the next stage of the implementation of this system will be the training of national trainers and certification specialists who will be able to organize work on the introduction of the Travelife scheme in Uzbekistan.


I would pay $10+ per hour for someone to cut my lawn, but aside from the initial spin up of a design to production on something like this, I probably wouldn't. You're welcome to do so, and the artist/manufacturer obviously will charge what they want. Creators and businesses fluctuate prices all the time, based on demand and cost of doing business.
I have a Razel fixed-blade pocket knife made by the Graham brothers about 10 years ago. It was a custom-order I placed directly with them, and it's absolutely beautiful. Still one of my favorite knives. One thing to note, their stuff is (historically) all hand-made, which is where a lot of the pricing comes from. This isn't mass-produced in a big factory. It's hand-made by craftsman artists (my knife is a work of art, if you ask me).

U.S. Tenth Circuit/
Ex-Lawyer is Abusive Litigant and Barred From Filing Pro Se
By Gabriella Khorasanee, JD on October 18, 2013 | Last updated on March 21, 2019
Some lawyers just don't get it. They think that their JD entitles them to sue anytime, anywhere, anyone. Well, the Tenth Circuit literally laid down the law and has barred an ex-lawyer from filing any more pro se actions to the Tenth Circuit.
Landrith's Pattern of Abuse
You could say Bret D. Landrith's troubles started in 2001 when he graduated from law school. The following year he was admitted to the Kansas bar, and in 2005, not even five years later, he managed to get himself disbarred.
In concluding that disbarment was appropriate, the Kansas Supreme Court found that, in addition to violating six Kansas Rules of Professional Conduct, his "language is occasionally incoherent, and, more than occasionally, inflammatory. In the pleadings and the motions, [Landrith] consistently fails to cite a factual basis for his allegations or to develop sensible legal arguments."
These proceedings instigated a flurry of litigation in the federal courts initiated by Landrith, with Landrith representing himself. We thought the first rule of lawyerhood was never represent yourself, but Landrith, apparently, did not get the memo.
Landrith's Filing Restrictions Order
The Tenth Circuit upheld the dismissal of two of Landrith's actions, and the pro se filing restrictions the District Court of Kansas had placed. Because of his litigiousness, the Tenth Circuit decided to determine whether they should also restrict Landrith from "filing pro se matters in this court."
The court stated:
Landrith has strained this court's resources with his frivolous and abusive pro se filings, which have only increased as of late. His 2011 mandamus petition and the four appeals he filed in 2012 and 2013 presented arguments with fundamental legal flaws, and none were successful. They also exemplify the concerns expressed by the Kansas Supreme Court in disbarring Landrith.
Failing to show cause, the Tenth Circuit ordered that Landrith should be prohibited from filing for pro se relief to the Tenth Circuit unless he is represented by counsel or gets permission from the court.
We know getting admitted to the bar may be exciting, but this is a lesson to attorneys in the fundamentals: speak coherently, have a factual basis for alleging things, don't violate ethics rules, and try not to abuse the system. Perhaps Landrith should consider a position in sales, he seems to have the tenacity for it.

Did you hear about our kollaboration with Karlie? (You may have read about in the May issue of Vogue.) If no, not to worry: we'll fill you in. We've collaborated with Karlie Kloss on three new sunglasses, available today—literally, like, right now, as of mere moments ago—in stores and online.
Just like Karlie, they're graceful, polished, and full of personality. We worked hand-in-hand to impart her genuine warmth and go-get-'em energy to a trio of distinctly feminine classics: Julia, Marple, and Clara. They're versatile and insanely flattering.
Constructed from ultra-strong and lightweight titanium in Heirloom Silver and Heirloom Gold, the frames feature gradient lenses, available in Violet Clover, Sepia Wash, Faded Slate, Copper Fade, and Indigo Wash. Relaxed and elegant.
In celebration of our partnership, we're donating to Edible Schoolyard NYC, an organization dear to Karlie. Edible Schoolyard NYC helps NYC public schools to build kitchens and gardens, where, through a hands-on curriculum led by Edible Schoolyard staff, students learn the tools to develop lifelong healthy habits. The donation will benefit two community farm stands in Brooklyn and East Harlem, where kids learn about food preparation in their own neighborhoods. And as always, for every pair sold, a pair is distributed to someone in need.

News World Vigils as India remembers gang-rape victim
6:11pm, Dec 29, 2013 Updated: 6:14pm, Dec 29
Vigils as India remembers gang-rape victim
India is marking 12 months since the death of a student savagely gang-raped on a Delhi bus with candle-light vigils and prayers.
The 23-year-old physiotherapy student died on December 29 last year, nearly two weeks after being brutally attacked by a gang of six men on a moving bus as she returned home from the cinema with a male companion.
The attack and her subsequent death shook the country, shone a global spotlight on India's treatment of women and unleashed seething public anger about sexual violence and harassment of women.
The victim's family will hold a religious ceremony in their ancestral village in northern Uttar Pradesh state, away from the constant media attention they have faced since the attack, her brother said.
"We want to remember her in a quiet way, away from all the glare. We want it to be a private, family moment," the brother, who cannot be named for legal reasons, told AFP.
The family will follow traditional Hindu rituals on Sunday, with a prayer ceremony and symbolic offerings made to their ancestors, which are believed to bring peace to those who have died.
The student, who was repeatedly assaulted with an iron rod during her ordeal, has been praised for her determination to report her attackers to the police before she died of her injuries.
Four of her attackers were convicted and given the death penalty in September after the case was fast-tracked, while a juvenile was sentenced to a detention centre.
The sixth convict died in prison in March in an apparent suicide.
The angry and sometimes violent protests against the attack jolted India's parliament, which this year passed tougher laws against rapists and other sex-crime offenders.
Despite the reforms, new cases of rape continue to be reported daily from across the country in the Indian press.
In the capital on Sunday, scores of students, professionals and others were slated to gather at Jantar Mantar, a protest site in the city's centre, where a makeshift memorial has been set up for the victim.
Small lamps, candles and flowers will be placed around the memorial before a peaceful vigil in the evening, one of several expected to take place across the city.
One of the organisers said women who turn up at Jantar Mantar will be encouraged to share their own experiences of violence and discuss societal changes that have taken place since the student's death.
"We need to remind the society that sex crimes won't be tolerated anymore," student Ishaan Ahmed told AFP.

I love science of any sort. I love to learn. Science is fun!
Today I got a rare treat in the Casey Anthony trial, science that I have a grounding in. Having spent more than three decades as a computer nerd, and having been involved in a couple of court cases involving the Nerding Arts, this was an area that I found riveting.
It never fails to amaze me as to how unaware people are about what happens on their computers and cell phones.
Digital Forensics is a science that some claim in someways is still in its infancy, but it grows in stature and importance every single day.
I listened with interest as the prosecution started the march. In fact I said to my wife Jan, wait for it, they are going to start talking about 'Write Blockers', sure enough, two minutes later the subject came up. I doubt that many people have even heard the term, let alone have one in their arsenal of computer junk at home. Of course my junk pile is compendious. If you want to find out more about Write Blockers here is a review. Well, the way I look at it, you never know when you might need one.
In simple terms digital evidence is like any other evidence. It must be secured and preserved. The mere act of powering on a computer can taint the data.
Today's court activity showed the great lengths that investigators went to to preserve the digital foot print. In my opinion defense lawyer Jose Baez was simply out matched. It was in someways humorous to watch the relentless beating being meted out. I was reminded of a great Bill Gates quote, 'Be nice to nerds, because one day you may find yourself working for one'.
The prosecution played a sensible hand, get the nerd on and off the stand as quickly and painlessly as possible. Nerd testimony only appeals to fellow nerds (oops that would be me). Jury's don't dig nerds, they get way too complex in discussing nerd stuff. Jose Baez on the other hand seems bound and determined to dwell in the nerd world. This may be a bad play. Jose Baez can't even spell the word nerd, so the nerds are eating him alive.
I am waiting for Jose Baez to ask Judge Perry to declare a mistrial on the grounds that the nerds don't play fair.
I am sure that he scored equally poorly in discrediting the air samples experts, and the cadaver dogs. But those areas are outside of my arena. But to get beaten senseless by nerds, now that's a problem!
12 users commented in " Casey Anthony Trial – The Nerds Take The Stand "
did the computer keep track of the incidences up until the time the computers were handed over to law enforcement which might exclude time outside the history that John Bradley was asked to review? Also, the number 84 does not reflect the actual time for each hit. Where would these other hits show up?
Sadly, though I'm sure you're right about the primacy of Nerd vs Baez in the logical world, to us non-nerds this didn't necessarily come across in the courtroom. Follow Twitter during evidence & you'll see how many people were nodding off/zoning out, & speculating on whether the jury were doing the same. The prosecutor seemed to find it hard to get the (undoubtedly good, honourable & intelligent) nerd to anticipate the need to speak in non-nerd to the jury: she almost had to beseech him to spell things out at various points. Compare what was made of his testimony, both by defense & prosecution, to what was made of the dog handler's, & you might agree that out of pity to non-nerds such as me, & more to the point in the interests of justice, it would be good to have expert nerd witnesses who were better at translating articulating their knowledge to the non-nerd world.
I agree that I found myself talking to the TV saying " please repeat in laymans terms". I think that the whole issue of some things being typed searches and others being clicks from results or links was made so confusing and vague. Plus the ads , plus the misspellings. Geez I totally got it but was worried about the jury on this one. Lets face it jurors aren't always hip on technology.
I really wish the individual giving testimony had been more like the dog handler or the body lab guy and didn't just stick to ask and answer testimony but took the opportunity to INFORM.
This tragedy has bothered me from day one of hearing about it.The total truth is an innocent childs life was ended far to soon.Absolute proof of skeletal remains of child and dental records confirms idenity, not to include the evidence of foul play. Lets all pray that justice will prevail for little angel Caylee Anthony..
Hello Simon,and Jan.Simon i though you may like the computor testimoney.As i have heard you speak about things to do with computors before.I found this interesting also.That so much could be found out about the sites hit,and how many times hit.Nothing is hid,it can all be found out.
I myself liked Dr Vass.He has that excitement about what he does.Im sure by now,20 yrs of work with the deceased(decomp) he knows the smell well.The air test he got excited explaining.Like a kid with a new game.Baezs thinks the can mix up will blow his testimony.But i think its a mistake that can happen.It believe dr Vass doesnt see well up close(glasses for reading),as he was trying to read a paper Baezs put before him.He saw Vass struggling trying to read it,yet Baezs kept pulling it further away from him.Simple mistake with the markings because of sight in mop.
I always wanted to work in homicide.Missed my calling.Im to old for it now,the schooling.
Those infer-red heat sencers used from the helocopter for the video taping on the first dogs alert, are something.Its also amasing how by the heat of our bodies we can be detected,anywhere!.i know American military has used the heat detectors in wars,to find terroist.LOL no one can hide while out where the heat detectors can find them.Its wonderful that dogs can be trained so well to pick up ,and only alert to decomep,bones,or what they are trained to alert to.They are a good tool to use in Cases such as this one.G & B both seemed to be well trained dogs.
So far Baezs is out of his leage tryng to even understand how to question the nerds as you call them.Even though each has broke things down so we may be able to understand some of it.I bet you know just what the computor people are speaking about.Im learning lol.Dr Vass is a cutie to be a nerd sientist. Well i have to go for now.Waving at Jan((~~~~)) and friends miss each of you.I havent been by in a while.
Does anyone know the average age of the jurors. Because, I'm not young by most standards but have owned a computer for over half my life, followed loosely and I found the testamony interesting and easy to follow. If most jurors are closer in age to Casey, then I think they got it and were probably a little board at questioning, breaking things down to dots and tittles. I would have to agree Baez took a beating and he has every day at one point come off as less than smart.
Average age of jurors is 50. Not even close to Caseys age.
I got the testimony but then again I have daily contact with I Internet searches etc. Some people only use a computer as a very expensive mailbox.
This very important point was made today and all the Media outlets ignored it. Caylee's bones were tested and she was not given Xanax by her mother, Casey. The Zanny equals Xanax theory is a lie but said so much that people think it is true. Casey Anthony has untreated schizophrenia and it made her helpless child an easy target, whether it be a drowning or a stranger abduction. I wonder why her family, even when accused of terrible things, did not demand that someone evaluate their daughter. Jose Baez is right when he claims that the prosecution throws anything against the wall hoping something will stick. The opposing side started with Xanax.
Marge, they did not say that the tests proved that Xanax was not present in Caylee's remains. They clarified that the body was too decomposed for conclusive tests. We will probably never know, unless Casey herself tells us. And even if she gave a full confession, who would believe every word of it.
Casey WAS psychologically tested as a requirement to get bond when Padilla was bailing her out. Apparently, she was not judged insane nor found unable to know the difference between right and wrong. I know, who da thunk it? By rights the girl is as selfishly insane as they come.
For sure, her parents should have had her in counseling a long time ago.

Q: remove duplicated row and increase weight columns with vba I'm trying to add a weight for source and target cell...so I do this :
  ' .Resize(, 4) = Array("Source", "Target", "Label", "Weight")
    .........

    Range(sStartingCellOutput).Offset(lRowOffset, lColOffset).Resize(1,4).Value = _
  Array(sq(lUser_1, 2), sqq(lUser_2), rTopic.Value,1)'

then the result is like this :
  'Source   Target  Label   Weight
    2955    7733    1       1
    7733    2955    1       1
    2961    6498    2       1
    6498    2961    2       1
    2961    2962    3       1
    2961    2962    3       1
    2962    2961    3       1
    2962    2961    3       1'

But I didn't want to show the duplicates row (source and target) i want to remove the duplicate and increase the weight ...
like this :
    ' Source    Target  Label   Weight
      2955      7733        1       1
      7733      2955        1       1
      2961      6498        2       1
      6498      2961        2       1
      2961      2962        3       2
      2962      2961        3       2'

any help for that ??
thanks

A: Just as an example: (asuming A1=Source / B1=Target / C1=Label / D1=Weight)
Option Explicit

Dim i As Long, j As Long
i = 2
With ActiveSheet
  While Len(.Cells(i, 1).Value & .Cells(i, 2).Value & .Cells(i, 3).Value)
    j = i + 1
    While Len(.Cells(j, 1).Value & .Cells(j, 2).Value & .Cells(j, 3).Value)
      If .Cells(i, 1).Value = .Cells(j, 1).Value And .Cells(i, 2).Value = .Cells(j, 2).Value And .Cells(i, 3).Value = .Cells(j, 3).Value Then
        .Cells(i, 4).Value = .Cells(i, 4).Value + .Cells(j, 4).Value
        .Rows(j).Delete
      End If
      j = j + 1
    Wend
    i = i + 1
  Wend
End With

would do exactly what you want (in a slow way)

Illinois Slate Tile Roof – Where is the slate roof tile material coming from?
Slate is mined all over the world, including US. Not an easy task because it often involves very deep excavation and requires skilled workers to manufacture the final product – roof slate tile.
Illinois Slate Tile Roof – What slate tile colors are available?
Because of its weight (approximately 800 – 1000 pounds per square of the roof surface for standard thickness, 1500 pounds for 3/8" thick / square – 10' x 10'), slate roofs are much more wind resistant than asphalt shingles and other lightweight roofing materials.
Illinois Slate Tile Roof best part – how much does a slate roof installation cost?
roof design / shape – complicated designs require more cuts / waste, flashings, etc.
Taking all of the above into consideration you can expect to pay between $10.00 – $40.00 per square foot of the installed slate tile roof.
If Illinois slate tile roof is something you've been looking for, let us know – your Illinois roofing contractor.

Q: Apache Tomcat executing a Java class I've coded some algorithms in Java and I need to include those algorithms in my web application.
I'm using Apache Tomcat and what I need to do is that when, for example, I click on the start button on my web page a Java class should be executed. I think this done by using servlets, am I right? If so, do you know where I can find some literature about it? I've searching in internet but it's a little bit confusing for me.

A: Yes, you're right. You'd want to write a servlet that handles request to an URI.
Here's some introduction:

*

*http://java.sun.com/developer/onlineTraining/Programming/BasicJava1/servlet.html
Tomcat comes with some samples, you might look at the source code as a start, they should be in the webapps/sample directory.
The Tomcat documentation is also a good start.

*

*http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc

A: I would check out this introduction to servlets
A servlet receives an HTTP request (e.g. a request for a page etc.). It will process that request via the methods doGet() or doPost(), and return an HTTP response. That response will contain your results (most likely an HTML page, although that's not mandatory).
I would (in order)

*

*get a static 'hello world' page going

*get a static page returning some data from your libraries

*get a dynamic page returning some data from your libraries using data from the HTTP request

Integrating your library will be trivial, since a servlet is simply a Java class that can instantiate/call on any other Java class.

A: You will need to learn how to use Java in a web server.  I would recommend using JSP just to start with as it allows you to create web pages that call Java code easily.
There are many JSP tutorials on the net - I believe this one is suitable: http://www.jsptut.com/

Toledo Bend Reservoir is a reservoir on the Sabine River between Texas and Louisiana. The lake has an area of 185,000 acres (749 km2), the largest man-made body of water partially in both Louisiana and Texas, the largest in the South, and the fifth largest by surface acre in the United States. The dam is capable of generating 92 megawatts of electrical power. The dam itself is located in the northeast corner of Newton County, Texas; however, that county includes very little of the reservoir, as most of it extends northward into parts of Sabine and DeSoto parishes in Louisiana, and Sabine, Shelby, and Panola counties in Texas.

Historical development
The land along the Orange area often flooded from the Sabine, with destructive effects. Also, the considerations for municipal, industrial, agricultural, and recreational purposes were part of the reasons the Texas State Legislature formed the Sabine River Authority of Texas" (SRA-T) in 1949, and in 1950 the Louisiana State Legislature created the Sabine River Authority,  State of Louisiana (SRA-L) for the project.

The two autonomous entities formed the Sabine River Compact, a memorandum of agreement, approved by the Legislatures of the States of Texas (1953) and Louisiana (1954), The U.S. Congress, and the President. These organizations and the compact were a result of efforts that began with the Sabine River Watershed Association of Texas after World War II as well as citizens from Louisiana, to create a freshwater supply, that included hydroelectric power, as well as providing recreation.

With both authorities in agreement, in 1955 a feasibility report was initiated and by 1959, the two states allocated 30 million dollars for the project. The land was acquired in 1963, with the work following the subsequent year. The Massman-Johnson Construction Company'' served as the general contractor, and by the completion of the project in , Texas' estimated share of the funds was $70 million. The dam was built by the two states, without any assistance from the federal government.

History
Beginning in May 1963, land acquisitions for Toledo Bend Reservoir started as a joint management project of Texas and Louisiana River Authorities. Construction on the Toledo Bend Dam, spillway, and power plant, began on May 11, 1964. The closure section of the earthen embankment and impoundment of water was begun in October 1966. The power plant was completed and began operating in the early part of 1969. The Toledo Bend Project was constructed primarily for the purposes of water supply, hydroelectric power generation, and recreation.

Toledo Bend Reservoir forms a portion of the boundary between the states of Texas and Louisiana. From the dam site, which is north of Burkeville, TX, the reservoir extends up the river for about  to Logansport, LA, and inundates land in Sabine, Shelby, Panola, and Newton Counties, Texas, and Sabine and DeSoto Parishes, Louisiana.

Area impact
Many communities were affected in the impacted parishes and counties.

Sabine Parish
In Sabine Parish there were several communities that included houses and other buildings such as schools and churches predominantly poor and minority, that were inundated.
Pine Flat Community (100 individuals and included about 50 homes and a school),
Barlake community,
Richard Neck community,
Kites Landing

The water, normally covering an area of about 186,000 acres has a controlled storage capacity of .

Toledo Bend is the nation's only public water conservation and hydroelectric power project to be undertaken without federal participation in its permanent financing.

Public recreation
Toledo Bend, with its  of shoreline, offers a large variety of recreational activities and is a major element in serving the growing demand for water oriented outdoor recreation. Both private and public facilities are available for swimming, boating, picnicking, fishing, camping, hunting, and sightseeing. The reservoir is a popular location for freshwater fishing with many clubs hosting tournaments.

At present, the lake is best suited to shallow draft power boats due to a large number of trees and stumps that are still in the body of the lake. Although there are numerous well marked boat lanes that have been cleared of stumps and trees, one should use caution even on the boat lanes; one should use extreme caution when off the boat lanes and maintain a watch for stumps and/or trees as well as floating logs.

EU Council President Michel meets with Polish Prime Minister Morawiecki in Rzeszów
Mar 3, 2022 EU Council, humanitarian aid, Poland, refugees from Ukraine
Rzeszów, Poland, 2 March 2022Remarks by President Charles Michel after his meeting with Prime Minister of Poland Mateusz Morawiecki:
We are facing an extremely difficult situation. That's why it's so important to be extremely united. And we are united, together with all the European Union's member states. Together with our partners, our allies, and with partners from third countries.
We are trying to develop a common action to build an international coalition, to protect international law, and the rules-based multilateral order. Second, we are able to act quickly together and to decide on tough sanctions with massive consequences for Russia. And let's be honest, it will have a cost for us. But it is a question of convictions, it is a question of democratic principles, it is a question of international law.
The reason for my presence here this morning with you, dear Prime Minister, is not only to show our full European solidarity towards Poland, towards your team, and towards the people on the ground who are working to guarantee the hospitality of refugees. It is also to show that we are all together. That is why the European Commission took the decision a few hours ago to mobilise €500 million for humanitarian assistance to provide concrete and additional means.
It is also important to see with my own eyes the situation on the ground. I would like to commend you, dear Prime Minister Mateusz, your team, and the Polish people for working very hard to guarantee safe passages for Ukrainians, for European citizens, but also for citizens coming from third countries all around the world without any discrimination. The recent hours we are faced with disinformation and it is very important to make our EU values clear. You gave a strong guarantee — and thank you for that — of zero discrimination. We are making sure that there are safe passages for all who would like to cross the borders. Finally, we know that the following hours and days will be difficult. We must stick together. We must be on the same page to coordinate and to cooperate to defend our principles together.
The current situation is extremely painful and difficult for the Ukrainians. More than ever, we must be together with the Ukrainians. We must welcome them. We will host them, we will guarantee the dignity of those Ukrainian people, and we maintain all the possible efforts to provide support to Ukraine — political support, financial support, and humanitarian support. This is our political and moral duty. Thank you.

Q: POwershell excel cell font formating I use a script to find rows in an excel and to delete entire row. Now I want not to delete but change fonts to strikethrough.
The part of the code is:
`
$Rows = get-content c:\temp\Rrows.txt
foreach($Row in $Rows){
if ($ExcelWorkSheet2.cells.Item($Row,3).Value() -ne "Something"){

                                #$ExcelWorkSheet2.Cells.Item($Row,1).style.Font.Strikethrough = $True
                                #$ExcelWorkSheet2.Cells.Item($Row,2).style.Font.Strikethrough = $True
                                #$ExcelWorkSheet2.Cells.Item($Row,3).style.Font.Strikethrough = $True

                                #$ExcelWorkSheet2.rows($Row).style.Font.Strikethrough = $True

                                $RowToDelete = $ExcelWorkSheet2.Cells.Item($Row,1).EntireRow
                                $RowToDelete.Delete()
                                }}

`
I tried 2 different methods and the results were to stikethrough entire sheet and not only the specified rows.
What is wrong here?

A: Just change line $RowToDelete.Delete() into
$RowToDelete.Font.Strikethrough = $true

Strikethrough is a property of the Font object of the row. Just set that to $true and save the changes
