Q: C#: Android phone control Would it be possible to control/interface with an Android phone through USB in a WinForm application? Is there any library for that, without using any original Android tool (ADB, fastboot)?

A: Try Managed Android Debug Bridge.
It's in C# and says:

This is a Managed port of the Android Debug Bridge to allow communication from .NET applications to Android devices. This wraps the same methods that the ddms uses to directly communicate with ADB. This gives more flexibility to the developer then launching an adb process and executing one of its build in commands.

A: The only USB support in Android is for adb and USB mass storage. Neither let you talk to on-device applications. Both let you access files on the SD card. adb may provide additional features, but you cannot  access "installed apps, contacts, messages". None of this is designed to work from C#, though you can call out to the adb command-line executable if you wish.
A network-based protocol would be easiest, for a subset of your goals. A Bluetooth protocol may be doable for the same subset.

In between the two games, the turf creators will hold a presentation on the turf-engine and some of the features we might see in the future.
As the game starts a lot of new zones will pop up in the application near the festival area. Meanwhile, "normal" zones are temporary removed. The new zones will all have the same block-time (3 minutes) and the same points (1 point per minute, 10 points per takeover, no neutral bonus). ONLY the zones that belongs to the event (are within the white boundaries in the application) awards points to the player.

E-Type were awesome. I grew up listening to them – was amazing to finally hear them.


In their books horror-stricken American historians very often raise the following question: what would have happened if Hitler had had an atomic bomb? They put the blame on the Fuhrer claiming he would have used it ruthlessly if he had had one, because he is such a rascal in their conclusion. But the fact that it was not Hitler, but the USA itself that used the atomic bomb in the first place, as soon as it fell into its hands, somehow stands aside from these bogeyman stories.
In the last days of the war, Charles Lindbergh was sent to Germany to collect information about the new German aircraft that the Luftwaffe had developed, such as the fighter jet and rocket-powered aircraft. He arrived in Germany a few days after its surrender and travelledaround in search of information. He kept a journal of observations, givingus some idea of the nation which had sought to conquer the world, but was crushed as a result of defeat in the war.

Non-viral gene therapy for Ataxia Telangiectasia
8th January 2019 /in News, Ongoing Research /by Sean Kelly
Principal researcher: Dr James Dixon
Institute: University of Nottingham
Cost: ~£105,000 over 24 months in partnership with A-TCP
Start Date: September 2018
Action for A-T has provided £50,000 towards this project which is being funded and managed by the US based A-T Children's Project.
What are the researchers proposing to do?
Non-viral gene therapy has the potential to safely and cheaply deliver new copies of genes to correct neurodegenerative disorders such as Ataxia Telangiectasia (A-T). Dr Dixon (University of Nottingham, UK) and his team aim to develop and then deploy a system to supply new ATM genes (the gene mutated in A-T patients) and provide a universal therapy for many aspects of the disease, but specifically in this grant the neurodegeneration seen in the brain (cerebellum).
There are currently no effective treatments for A-T, and the size of the ATM gene poses challenges to traditional virus-mediated gene replacement therapy approaches. A new peptide-based gene therapy technology has recently been developed by the Nottingham group, which has been demonstrated effective at delivering new genes in the lung and to bone in trauma. By applying the technology to A-T therapy, a treatment could be developed that could be used to treat different aspects of the disease in all A-T patients.
How will the research be done?
The team will re-engineer a full-length ATM gene both to make it express the missing protein strongly and to make it resistant to being 'turned off' prematurely. These new genes will be packaged into Dr. Dixon's system and tested for activity in patient cells culture and in models of A-T. The team will attempt to deliver the therapy by directly injecting into the brain or through less invasive routes such as lumbar puncture to reach and correct gene defect in the cerebellum.
How could it make a difference to the lives of those affected by A-T?
The initial aim is delivery of synthetic ATM genes into neurons in the brain's cerebellum because they seem to be most affected by the loss of the ATM protein. The objective would be to slow or halt the ataxia and other movement disorders in all A-T patients. While this is still the central aim of Dr. Dixon's work, the engineered ATM gene delivery system could be used to address the lung infection and cancer symptoms of A-T.

Q: Android: Async Task : doInBackground returns before an action callback I am using MQTT for my Android Application. I implemented the MQTT connection in a class extending the AsyncTask. This is my code:
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
    String TAG = "MQTT";
    private Context context;
    String status;
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
        setSupportActionBar(toolbar);

        FloatingActionButton fab = (FloatingActionButton) findViewById(R.id.fab);
        fab.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View view) {
                Snackbar.make(view, "Replace with your own action", Snackbar.LENGTH_LONG)
                        .setAction("Action", null).show();
            }
        });
         context = getApplicationContext();
        MQTT mqtt = new MQTT();
        mqtt.execute();
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
        // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
        getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu_main, menu);
        return true;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
        // Handle action bar item clicks here. The action bar will
        // automatically handle clicks on the Home/Up button, so long
        // as you specify a parent activity in AndroidManifest.xml.
        int id = item.getItemId();

        //noinspection SimplifiableIfStatement
        if (id == R.id.action_settings) {
            return true;
        }

        return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
    }
    public class MQTT extends AsyncTask<String, Void, String> {
        @Override
        protected String doInBackground(String... params) {
            String clientId = generateClientId();
            MqttAndroidClient client =
                    new MqttAndroidClient(context, "tcp://broker.hivemq.com:1883",
                            clientId);

            try {
                IMqttToken token = client.connect();
                token.setActionCallback(new IMqttActionListener() {
                    @Override
                    public void onSuccess(IMqttToken asyncActionToken) {
                        // We are connected
                        Log.d(TAG, "onSuccess");
                        status = "True";
                    }

                    @Override
                    public void onFailure(IMqttToken asyncActionToken, Throwable exception) {
                        // Something went wrong e.g. connection timeout or firewall problems
                        Log.d(TAG, "onFailure");
                        status = "False";

                    }
                });
            } catch (MqttException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
            Log.d(TAG, "value of status " + status);
            return status;
        }

        @Override
        protected void onPostExecute(String s) {
            super.onPostExecute(s);
            Log.d(TAG, s);

        }
    }
}

The problem I am facing here is that doInBackground() returns before the onSuccess is called. Because of this, this function returns status as null. I tried to take the Log of the returned value in the onPostExecute(), it shows null. Whereas I am assigning the value of status in the onSuccess function inside the doInBackGround. Is there a way I can make sure that the doInBackground returns only after the onSuccess is completed.

A: Quick solution is to block until async task finishes, e. g. by using Semaphore:
protected String doInBackground(String... params) {
    String clientId = generateClientId();
    MqttAndroidClient client = // ....
    Semaphore s = new Semaphore(0);
    try {
       IMqttToken token = client.connect();
       token.setActionCallback(new IMqttActionListener() {
           @Override
           public void onSuccess() {
               // ...
               status = "True";
               s.release();
           }

           @Override
           public void onFailure() {
               // ...
               status = "False";
               s.release();
           }
       });
    } catch (MqttException e) {
         e.printStackTrace();
         s.release();
    }
    s.acquire();   // blocks until `s.release()` is invoked in callback
    return status;
}

The glorious island of Arran is Scotland in miniature, a perfect adventure spot with its own highland and lowland areas. Alongside some great mountains, there's also a fantastic coastal road and a separate walking route, both of which circle the entire island.
This is not just Britain's highest mountain, but the perfect highland setting for all manner of adventures using Fort William as your base. Hikers, climbers, skiers / ski tourers, cyclists, mountain bikers, paddlers, campers and road trippers are all spoiled for choice here.
Britain's largest national park and home to 4 of the 5 highest peaks in the land is an adventurer's paradise.
Remote, wild and home to some of Britain's - and the world's - finest landscapes: the Northwest Highlands are legendary.
Galloway Forest Park is known as the "Highlands of the Lowlands". It's big, it's quiet, and besides an enormous number of trees it also has some lovely mountains like Merrick (843m) and the other 'fingers' of the Awful Hand range.
Britain's most dramatic and iconic set of valleys, boasting famous peaks like Buachaille Etive Mor (1022m), the Three Sisters and the Aonach Eagach ridge, has the perfectly contrasting neighbour: wild and empty Rannoch Moor.
A remote but much-lauded valley: Sir Walter Scott called it the "longest, loneliest and loveliest glen in Scotland". It's not just a beautiful place - it's flanked by Munros aplenty so there are mountain-shaped thrills to accompany all that gawping.
Walk, cycle or canoe coast-to-coast via four connected lochs from Inverness to Fort William. A Great British journey along a geographical feature that's visible from space.
A wild peninsula sandwiched between Lochs Nevis and Hourn, Knoydart is only accessible by boat or a very long hike. It is well worth it when you get there and enjoy a drink in Britain's most remote pub.
The Highlands in miniature: loads of large lochs, mighty Munros, rampaging rivers and a couple of forest parks too for good measure... and only an hour from Glasgow.
A great road trip by car or bike, with eye-popping scenery all around, such as the Queen's View of Loch Tummel and the delightfully conical peak of Schiehallion.
Beaches so white they're referred to as the Silver Sands, Britain's shortest river and deepest loch, the most westerly point on mainland Britain, this barely-pronounceable place has it all... and a spectacular arrival via the Road to the Isles or West Highland Line train.
A disgracefully impressive collection of highlights: great sandy beaches, colourful Tobermory, Fingal's Cave, magical Iona, some enormous cliffs and Mull's imposing mountain, Ben More.
70 islands (20 inhabited) with loads of lovely sandy beaches, pre-history galore and legendarily good names for things like Skara Brae, the Dwarfie Stane, the Old Man of Hoy and the Ship of Death.
Small, low-lying and utterly alluring islands joined by causeways and ferries, the Outer Hebrides are home to some of the world's finest beaches, including one which doubles as a runway for what's possibly the world's best airport.
Slow down! Don't zoom past the Borders in your rush to the Highlands. Some of Britain's very best viewpoints are here, including Scott's View (Sir Walter's favourite), and no less than 4 great trails, Scotland's famous long-distance walking routes.
The very end of the land, with Britain's northernmost point (Out Stack) the finest of destinations. There's also Foula's ginormous cliffs, Fair Isle (the remotest inhabited part of Britain), the northern lights and 1,700 miles of coastline with many golden sandy beaches.
It sounds heavenly, and it is. Skye's scenery is among the most impressive in Britain, with the Black Cuillin mountain range dominating from every angle and grand adventures to be had all around this spectacular island.
Wester Ross has some of Britain's finest and most remote scenery, including a large, wild chunk known as "the last great wilderness of Scotland" and the impressive peaks of Slioch and An Teallach.
BACK TO TOP SCOTLAND ENGLAND Win A Map!
Anglesey, Wales' largest island, and the Lleyn peninsula, just to the south on the mainland, are shielded from the masses by Snowdonia, but they're almost entirely AONB thanks to a beautiful landscape and coastline. Great for adventures of all varieties, especially those involving water.
The mighty Brecon Beacons are made for adventure. Huge, striking hills, lots of lakes and waterfalls, and - of course - Lord Hereford's Knob.
Britain's first AONB, this 19 mile-long peninsula in south Wales has a beautiful coastline and beaches including Rhossili Bay, Worm's Head and Three Cliffs Bay. A surfing paradise and feast for the eyes.
A beautiful spot in north Wales that's quieter than its famous neighbour, Snowdonia, but no less appealing: excellent hills in the Clwydian Range, wonderful watersports potential on the Dee, and a World Heritage site in the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct on the Llangollen Canal.
Not only is Pembrokeshire an absolute corker of a coastline, it's also a natural playground – in the water, and out - and Britain's only all-coastal national park.
Snowdonia has it all: not only the highest peak in Britain outside the Scottish Highlands, but more iconic mountains (Cader Idris, Tryfan, the Rhinogs, the Glyders), hiking and mountain biking routes, forests, waterfalls and beaches than might be considered strictly necessary.
For a laid back float down a river, you may struggle to do better than canoeing through the beautiful Wye Valley.
BACK TO TOP SCOTLAND WALES Win A Map!
Mellow pootling! Adventures don't get more laid back than floating around this series of shallow rivers and lakes, Britain's largest protected wetland.
322 square miles of lovely chalk downland only a chaffinch's guff from London, the Chilterns span bits of Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire. Which is tough to say even without a mouthful of crackers.
Cornwall isn't just the start / end point for many Great British adventures: it's also a proud peninsula with more brilliant beaches per mile than almost anywhere.
The setting for Hound of the Baskervilles and War Horse has oodles of atmosphere, bronze age relics galore, plenty of wild camping options and all manner of cycling, hiking and watery fun.
Dorset's spectacular beaches and coastal features like Durdle Door, Lulworth Cove and Old Harry Rocks are linked together on the South West Coast Path to stunning effect - a cracker of an adventure playground.
Exmoor: a beguiling mix of rocky river valleys, big dark cliffs, an enjoyably empty section of higher moorland and great roads including the Atlantic Highway, with its views across the Bristol Channel to Wales.
Flat and largely unsung, the Fens of Cambridgeshire and Lincolnshire are a vast, otherworldly land of parallel lines and lanes perfect for cycling and other horizontal adventures.
Get some history with your adventure! Hadrian's Wall is the largest Roman artefact anywhere in the world, stretching 74 miles from the Solway Firth in the west to the banks of the Tyne in the east.
A miniature England lounging about in the Channel off the Hampshire coast, with a great road trip and cycling route around its perimeter.
A low-lying archipelago 28 miles west of Cornwall, with a totally tropical ambience, white sand beaches, clear blue waters and a fun-sounding name.
A perfectly-proportioned arrangement of high hills and deep glacial lakes, and one of Britain's best-loved adventure locations.
The New Forest in Hampshire is Europe's biggest area of heathland, with great walks, cycling routes and views to the Isle of Wight... plus loads of wild horses strolling around nonchalantly wherever they like.
Two lovely AONBs for the price of one, ridiculously close to London: the Surrey Hills, covering a quarter of the county, and the Kent Downs, stretching from the Surrey border to the white cliffs of Dover. All very quintessential.
Flat and spectacularly sandy, Norfolk's northern coast is very good. Walk the whole lot on the Norfolk Coast Path and enjoy views that go on and on. Bootiful!
Britain's largest expanse of heather moorland, the North York Moors also has some tremendous hills, beaches and views.
England's "last great wilderness", Northumberland national park is mostly wide open moorland, bounded by Hadrian's Wall to the south and the Scottish borders to the north. It's the least populated area of the country, and the largest area of protected night sky in Europe.
Northumberland allegedly has more castles than any other county in England, and many of the finest - such as Dunstanburgh, Warkworth and Bamburgh - stand guard over the stunning coastline, which boasts great beaches, Holy Island / Lindisfarne and top coastal nature reserves.
The spiritual home of the national parks movement has great hills, wild and spectacular scenery, impressive driving / cycling roads, caves in abundance and some of England's finest adventure potential south of the Lakes.
Britain's most iconic waterway, from its Gloucestershire source to its London estuary. Walk it, float down it, cycle near it - a classic British journey.
Situated in the Welsh Marches, this lovely but sometimes overlooked part of Britain includes the Shropshire Hills AONB, a World Heritage site at Ironbridge, great long-distance walking routes (Offa's Dyke Path) and cycling / mountain biking options galore.
Britain's only national park in the south-east spans 87 miles of chalk hills from Winchester to Eastbourne, including a classic walk along the South Downs Way and the white cliffs of the Seven Sisters.
The Suffolk Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is 155 square miles of unspoiled, wildlife-rich estuaries, ancient heaths, and fine coastline. It doesn't so much scream adventure as whisper it.
The Yorkshire Dales national park is the centrepiece in northern England's embarrassment of natural riches, with the Lake District to the west and the North York Moors to the east. A proper adventure location and some of England's best scenery.

Cindy Sheehan Sets Up "Camp OUT NOW" in Antiwar Protest
Cindy Sheehan
founder of Peace of the Action
We go to Washington, DC to speak with antiwar activist Cindy Sheehan, founder of the group Peace of the Action, who has set up a camp near the Washington Monument calling on President Obama to end the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Sheehan's son Casey was killed while serving in Iraq on April 4, 2004. [includes rush transcript]
StoryNov 25, 2022"You Can't Be Neutral on a Moving Train": Remembering the People's Historian Howard Zinn at 100
AMY GOODMAN: We go to Washington, DC to Cindy Sheehan. Her son Casey was killed while serving in Iraq on April 4th, 2004. Cindy Sheehan is the founder of the group Peace of the Action. That's P-e-a-c-e. She has just set up a camp near the Washington Monument called Camp OUT NOW, calling on President Obama to end the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. She's joining us from Washington, DC.
Cindy, welcome to Democracy Now! Why have you set up camp in Washington, DC?
CINDY SHEEHAN: Well, hi, Amy and Juan. Thank you so much for having me on today.
Well, we've set up camp because we believe, of course, that — we still believe that the invasions and occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan for the multinational corporations using our US military were wrong under the Bush administration, they're still wrong under the Obama administration. For the last, you know, thirteen, fourteen months, the antiwar movement has been giving President Obama a free pass. And while that's been happening, people are still dying, people are still being displaced, people are still being tortured and detained. And, you know, like the woman from Iraq said, it's to steal the resources and wealth from these countries and put them in the hands of the multinationals.
So we've been struggling to keep this movement alive for the past year. And we just said enough is enough, and we need to go into the face of this military-industrial empire again and say, you have to do it on our timeline, the people's timelines. Get our troops out of these countries. Let the people control their wealth, control their resources. Put them back to work. And maybe we can start to rebuild this country, where education is being gutted, healthcare is, you know, in extreme crisis, we don't have jobs, you know, we're losing our homes. And our economy is collapsing also. So we're hoping not just to build a camp, but to rebuild this movement to have some kind of say in foreign policy.
JUAN GONZALEZ: And Cindy, why do you feel that the peace movement has, as you say, given the Obama administration a pass? What has contributed to sort of this deconstruction of the movement that was so strong during the Bush administration?
CINDY SHEEHAN: Well, you know, that's a very good question, Juan, and I've been trying to analyze that and figure it out, too. Of course, nobody liked George Bush. Nobody was — you know, in the movement was happy with the Bush administration. Happy to see him go, we wanted to see him go in handcuffs instead of on the date when all presidents leave office. But a lot of people in the antiwar movement actually worked for Obama, thinking that he was going to be some kind of a change. So if you work for somebody and that person is elected, then you achieve your goal.
And so, even though Obama said he was going to send more troops to Afghanistan, Afghanistan has become the new — the new hot war. Iraq has become the new forgotten war. And so, as Iraq is winding down for US troops, people are still being killed there. People are still, like the woman said, being economically compromised. But General Stanley McChrystal has said that this is going to be a bloody year for everybody in Afghanistan. And we can't give the Democrats a free pass. Obviously, the Democrats are not the party — are not an antiwar party. And we, the people, have to figure out that it's not — that peace and war are not a bipartisan issue. It's a systemic issue that we have to organize to resist.
AMY GOODMAN: Cindy Sheehan, we want to thank you very much for being with us on this seventh anniversary of the invasion of Iraq. She lost her son Casey six years ago on April 4th, 2004.
CINDY SHEEHAN: Thank you.

Q: What is the difference between setting autofocus to true and to request focus? I read in documentation that requestFocus() request primary focus. Does setting autofocus to true behaves similarly?

A: When set auto focus true, whenever state will build or re-build focus will automatic shift to that element if any other elements are not holding focus, while if you are calling requestFocus this will set primary focus to that
particular focus node.
Note- if you are calling FocusNode().requestFocus() that will remove focus form that screen because FocusNode() is not associated with any widget in tree

With these articles, I aim to take you visiting some of the Eurobodalla Shire's 'best kept secrets' and I believe that the Eurobodalla Botanic Gardens is probably top of the list!
Port Douglas and the Daintree are an expensive journey, thousands of miles away, whilst here in our own backyard we have our own unique rainforest.
Just 5 kilometres south of Batemans Bay, on the Prince's Highway, is the left turn into The Botanic Gardens. Turn in, follow the road another kilometre, turn right and you will find yourself in the carpark.
Gravel paths guide the visitor to the very well appointed Visitors Centre which includes, plant sales, a herbarium and the Chef's Cap Café but more about that delightful café later!
Our very friendly guides for the day were Helen and Bruce Cox, volunteers who are enthusiastic about the gardens. Armed with a 'portfolio' of information we headed off.
There are 6 tracks in all, ranging from 30 minutes to one-hour duration, including a Limited Mobility Track suitable for wheelchair access.
We chose the walk to the Deep Creek Dam viewing platform.
Live a McCubbin painting as you stroll through the iconic Australian bush, listen to the sounds of native birds and animals and breathe in the heavy scent of the eucalypt. What a fabulous place to bring overseas visitors…or locals!
Great for children of ALL ages as the paths wind up and down, over creeks, stepping stones, bridges, past ponds; there is even a fallen tree which looks remarkably like a whale breaching! For the amateur botanist, the trees and plants are identified with small discreet labels 'Corymbia Maculata' or for us more common folk, that's a plain old spotted gum!
If you get tired, there are lots of places to sit and contemplate nature in her glory; you may even see some wildlife if you stay nice and quiet. Kangaroos, wallabies, lyrebirds, parrots, finches, firecheeks and later at night owls, bats and possums.
BBQ's, picnic tables, toilets, weather shelter, bird watching platforms, bush walking, it is amazing to think that so many locals are unacquainted with this wonderful facility right on our doorstep.
At the viewing platform we stopped and enjoyed our regular thermos of tea and today's treat of Bush Banana and Berry Bread, which seems in keeping with we bored baby boomers on a budget!
It started to drizzle with welcome rain whilst we were visiting but we were having such a peaceful, serene time that we were in no hurry to leave and so we strolled on through the forest with the light rain forming a misty blanket around us. The forest was hushed and the far off tinkling of the bellbirds kept tune with the creek bubbling quietly through the gardens.
On our return journey, we admired the Mt. Gambier Limestone Sculpture "The Guardians" by Kathleen M McKenzie, the guardians of the forest, of our children's forest for generations to come.
The gardens are always looking for volunteers. Don't be frightened as training is offered.
As we headed back towards or car for the quick trip back into town, we passed The Chef's Cap Café, and the aroma of the coffee, wafting on the air, stopped us in our tracks. Well after all, our thermos was empty!
Entrance to the Botanic Gardens is free, so we thought we could stretch the budget to a cup of coffee and I can honestly say that it was the best cup of coffee I have had for some time and ONLY $2.50 to boot! Our handsome Chef, Fred, tempted us further….must have been that cute accent, with the 'All Day Breakfast,' which was absolutely delicious! The background music was very soothing 'oldies' and the staff were polite, good looking and attentive. The Chef's Café will be opening for Saturday night dinners on the 17th March and I cannot think of anywhere in the Shire more unique than this venue. Bookings will be essential so keep your eye out for Fred's advertisement with details in the local paper, The BayPost.
If you are planning a special event, whether it be for a pre school group, a wedding, a birthday or reunion, why not give the Botanic Gardens a second look or give them a ring on (02) 4471 2544 after 10am.
So my temptation for this month is get acquainted with the bush.
Slip, slop and slap, pack a batch of low fat Bush Banana and Berry Bread………………..Oh and don't forget the thermos!
The Gardens is now open on weekends from 9 am.
The Chef's Cafe opens around 10 am.
As a Gardens volunteer I was delighted to stumble across this gem. It captures the essence of the Gardens experience.
The Chef's Cap cafe is now run by Wendy. She tends to open around 10.30 am so go for a walk first on weekdays. The Gardens itself now opens at 10am on weekends and public holidays.
A new addition is the Children's Play Space near the barbecue area. Many families have picked up the generous publicity in the local newspapers and have added the Gardens to the beach as a place to take the youngsters. And they have found we have paper-based treasure hunts to keep young people amused.
Ed's Note: The volunteers at the ERBG have done a FANTASTIC job !! A great alternative to the beach plus it's Educational for young and the not so young.
This is a great series of articles !
These stories describe some places that a lot of locals haven't even found out about.

Compromised diet for the elderly
COVID19, Gender, Geopolitics, Health, Human Rights, Identity, Journalism, Law, World
The institutionalized elderly in Kathmandu have found their diets significantly altered by gas shortage
THE RECORD • April 9, 2020
read 2 min
The elderly living in old-age homes around Kathmandu are facing an unexpected change in their lifestyle due to the Covid19-induced lockdown. Instead of eating regular meals, they are now having to make do with meals made of chiura (beaten rice) and junk food like dalmoth owing to the shortage of cooking gas in the city.
Social workers running old-age homes in Kathmandu say they are facing an acute shortage of gas, even as charitable people and organizations are supplying daily essentials like rice and lentils.
"More people have been turning up with rice and daal after we reported a shortage of food this week. But we haven't been able to feed the elderly properly because we don't have gas. Since we have so many people to cook for, the half cylinder of gas lasts only a few days," said Dilshobha Shrestha of Ama Ghar, an old-age shelter that supports a total of 43 elderly people in its Gurjudhara and Kalimati branches.
Right from the start of the lockdown, which began on 24 March, there has been a noticeable shortage of cooking gas in the capital, both due to low supply and black marketeering. All this time, the Nepal Oil Corporation has instructed gas bottling companies to sell half-filled cylinders containing only 7.1 kg of gas. On Thursday, however, it announced that it was beginning the sale of full cylinders from 11 April onwards.
Operators of old-age homes have reported that the lack of gas has disproportionately affected octogenarians, many of whom have pre-existing medical conditions and are too old to rely solely on raw or junk food.
"They understand that there is a crisis going on, but their bodies need healthy cooked food. Concerned authorities should pay more attention," said Shrestha.
Most elderly homes in Kathmandu, which are fully dependent on regular charity and volunteers to feed the elderly, have been tackling the job of providing daily essentials on their own as fewer people have been turning up to help out during the lockdown.
"There has been a significant drop in charity from individuals due to the lockdown. But we are getting help from organizations, powerful individuals and even the police," said Prem Upreti of Ni:sahaya Sewa Sadan.
Ni:sahaya, home to 36 elderly, said it has received support from NC leader Prakash Man Singh, Kathmandu Metropolitan City's deputy mayor Hariprabha Khadgi and the Metropolitan Police Range.
"We have plenty of food to go for a few more weeks. What we need now is constant supply of gas," said Upreti who has so far been using gas cylinders received in charity from suppliers.
Shrestha, meanwhile, said that the lockdown has also affected the supply of fruit and green vegetables as cash support has virtually stopped.
"Earlier, we used to get some cash support to buy these things. But now, this has dried up," she said.
The lockdown has also affected children's homes. Gyan Dutta Bhatta of Kalika Bal Bikas Kendra, a children's home in Old Naikap, said they have been facing shortage of all items including gas.
"It's a difficult situation since people cannot come to us, even if they want to, and we cannot go out due to the lockdown," said Bhatta.
Unlike privately run old-age homes, staffers at Pashupati Briddhashram, a government funded old-age home, said they haven't faced any shortage. In fact, the Briddhashram had to shut its doors to visitors arriving to feed the poor in order to prevent the spread of coronavirus.
"All our staff are also currently living in the ashram and taking care of the elderly," said an official.

MicroRNA-34a enhances T cell activation by targeting diacylglycerol kinase ζ.
The engagement of the T cell receptor (TCR) induces the generation of diacylglycerol (DAG), an important second messenger activating both the Ras/Erk and PKCθ/NFκB pathways. DAG kinases (DGKs) participate in the metabolism of DAG by converting it to phosphatidic acid. DGKζ has been demonstrated to be able to inhibit DAG signaling following TCR engagement. Deficiency of DGKζ increases the sensitivity of T cells to TCR stimulation, resulting in enhanced T cell activation ex vivo and in vivo. However, the mechanisms that control DGKζ expression are poorly understood. Here we demonstrate that DGKζ mRNA is a direct target of a cellular microRNA miR-34a. The DGKζ transcript is decreased, whereas the primary miR-34a is upregulated upon TCR stimulation. Ectopic miR-34a expression suppresses DGKζ protein expression through the seed match binding to both the 3' untranslated region and coding region of DGKζ mRNA, leading to increased ERK1/2 phosphorylation and surface expression of the T cell activation marker CD69 following TCR cross-linking. In contrast, overexpression of a miR-34a competitive inhibitor increases DGKζ expression and suppresses TCR-mediated T cell activation. Together, our data demonstrate that miR-34a is a negative regulator for DGKζ and may play an important role in regulating T cell activation.

If you are an experienced exhibitor, you probably participate in more than one trade show a year. Keeping your trade show exhibits in good shape between shows is imperative if you want to use the same display at your next event. Packing up, storing, and installing your booth can have a damaging effect if not done with care.
No need to worry because with these tips, your exhibit will be looking like new for years to come.
Before taking down and packing up the booth, walk around it to see if there are any tears or issues with the ink, as well as any damage that has happened to the frame. If there are any problems after the convention, knowing about it right away will give you plenty of time to fix the issue so it is ready to go for the next trade show.
Many trade show displays come with a specialized case that will keep the booth safe from harm. However, if your display doesn t have one, investing in one will be one decision you ll be glad you made. Included with the case is foam material inside the case with cutouts for each booth piece in order to make sure the booth components don t move while being transported. The outside of the case is made from a hard, molded plastic that will keep the entire booth safe from harm. Shipping cases can also store easily until you are ready for another event.
If the ground is moist, this could cause the booth to get water damage. Not only could your exhibit display be destroyed if it gets wet, but there is also a possibility for mold. Natural disasters do happen and are out of anyone s control, but if possible, try to look for a storage space that is out of a flood plain.
Extreme heat or cold weather can cause significant damage to your booth display. Temperature-controlled rooms are the best idea for keeping the display safe from damaging temperatures.
Show exhibit displays are an excellent, and sometimes costly, investment for your company, so make sure to take care of it. These tips should help you do just that.

'Comply Or Die' is Not The Law
In 1975, as the elected sheriff of Utah's Davis County, William "Dub" Lawrence helped organize one of the state's first SWAT teams. On September 22, 2008, his son-in-law, Brian Wood, was killed by that SWAT team outside his home following a 12-hour standoff.
After suffering a breakdown of some kind, Wood called 911 to report (falsely) that he had beaten and raped his wife. SWAT operators used chemical weapons to force Wood from the pickup truck in which he had taken refuge, then treated him to a barrage of rubber bullets, projectile bean bags, and pepper-spray rounds, in addition to tear gas and flash-bang grenades. While Wood was prone and helpless, he was shot with a Taser at least eight times by one officer, and an unknown number of times by a second — before being shot at point-blank range by another officer wielding a .308-caliber rifle.

Is It A Crime To Insult the Police?
Arena, Wisconsin is a village of roughly 800 people, most of whom are white, politically liberal, and materially comfortable. Despite having a very low crime rate, the village has a police department that, like every other, exists primarily to collect revenue.
Two years ago, police arrested three "out-of-state juvenile males" on suspicion of burglarizing a business. Two of the suspects "were detained by residents until law enforcement arrived," the department noted in its Facebook page. The three unfamiliar black men were conspicuous in a tiny village with a nearly all-white population, and by the time the police arrived all of the difficult work had been done. Perhaps as a way to compensate for its deserved sense of worthlessness, the Arena PD arrested someone whose only role in this affair was to publish a derisive remark on the department's Facebook page.
Ron Paul: Legal Pot, Not SWAT
Tuesday June 10, 2014
Ron Paul addresses Monday on the Ron Paul Channel the menacing militarization of police in the United States. Paul, the chairman and founder of RPI, explains the problem extends from small towns obtaining military combat vehicles to United States government agencies buying up vast amounts of weapons and ammunition to police employing over 40,000 SWAT team raids each year.
Paul also notes in the commentary that crime in Denver has decreased following the legalization of marijuana in Colorado. Paul wonders if Colorado may be on to something—less laws are a better means than militarized police to reduce crime.

Toothless USA FREEDOM Act Losing Support
The USA FREEDOM Act (HR 3361), which is supposedly designed to thwart the US government's mass spying program, appears to be confirming RPI Executive Director Daniel McAdams' warning from September: "beware NSA spying and beware the PATRIOT Act and beware FISA reauthorizations. But most of all...keep your eyes on the reformers!"

James Comey Won't Improve the FBI
Expect business as usual at the FBI after Monday's Senate confirmation of James B. Comey, Jr. to be the Bureau's new director. Comey had previously served as George W. Bush's Deputy Attorney General. Every indication is that Comey will lead the FBI in the same trajectory it has traveled under Director Robert S. Mueller's leadership since September 2001—a trajectory the American Civil Liberties Union outlines as dangerous to liberty in the succinct report "The Ten Most Disturbing Things You Should Know About the FBI Since 9/11."
The Rise of SWAT
In a KERA Radio interview this week, investigative reporter Radley Balko provides an informative overview of the the history of police SWAT teams in the United States. Balko addresses factors that have contributed to the rise of SWAT including the war on drugs, civil asset forfeiture, joint task forces, and the providing of US government grants and surplus military equipment to state and local police.


Target asked Tord Boontje to design the Christmas experience for 2006. This resulted in a collaboration in which the studio designed 35 products, packaging and graphic design, including all catalogues and store graphics. We also designed the store environments that went into over 1,400 Target stores and worked on the art-direction for 5 television commercials and catalogue photography.
This was the first time Target has collaborated in such a holistic approach with any designer.
The inspiration of this collection was a desire to awaken the senses and a longing for a warm, festive season with friends and family. I always start designing by asking myself, what would I really like to live with. In this case, it led to objects which are either great gifts or that can bring wonder and fantasy into everyone's home and create a very festive, warm, romantic atmosphere; a house filled with illumination and good feelings.

POPE ADDS CHURCH DOCTORS, MARTHA, MARY AND LAZARUS TO UNIVERSAL CALENDAR
Junno Arocho Esteves/Catholic News Service
VATICAN CITY (CNS) — Recognizing their welcome of and witness to Christ, Pope Francis has approved changing the liturgical feast of St. Martha to include her sister and brother, Mary and Lazarus, on the church's universal calendar of feast days.

The names of Mary and Lazarus will be added to the July 29 feast on the General Roman Calendar, the universal schedule of holy days and feast days for the Latin rite of the Catholic Church.
The Vatican Feb. 2 published the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Sacraments' decree ordering the change in calendars.
Signed by Cardinal Robert Sarah, the congregation's prefect, the decree said Pope Francis approved the memorial for Martha, Mary and Lazarus after "considering the important evangelical witness they offered in welcoming the Lord Jesus into their home, in listening to him attentively, (and) in believing that he is the resurrection and the life."
"In the household of Bethany, the Lord Jesus experienced the family spirit and friendship of Martha, Mary and Lazarus," it said. "Martha generously offered him hospitality, Mary listened attentively to his words and Lazarus promptly emerged from the tomb at the command of the one who humiliated death."
The decree explained that "the traditional uncertainty of the Latin church about the identity of Mary — the Magdalene to whom Christ appeared after his resurrection, the sister of Martha, the sinner whose sins the Lord had forgiven — which resulted in the inclusion of Martha alone on July 29 in the Roman Calendar, has been resolved in recent studies and times," thus paving the way for celebrating the siblings in one memorial.
A separate congregation decree, also published Feb. 2, said the pope also approved the optional memorial of three doctors of the church: Sts. Gregory of Narek, a 10th-century Armenian monk; John of Avila, the famed 16th-century preacher, confessor and spiritual writer; and 12th-century German abbess Hildegard of Bingen.

The saints, who hail from both the Eastern and Western church traditions, were declared doctors of the church for their important contributions to theology and spirituality.
In its decree, the congregation explained that those given the title of "doctor of the church" exemplify the "link between holiness and understanding things divine and also human.
"Indeed, the wisdom that characterizes these men and women is not solely theirs, since by becoming disciples of divine wisdom, they have themselves become teachers of wisdom for the entire ecclesial community," it said. "It is in this light that the holy 'doctors' are inscribed in the General Roman Calendar."
The optional memorial for St. Gregory of Narek will be celebrated Feb. 27, while those for Ss. John of Avila and Hildegard of Bingen will be celebrated May 10 and Sept. 17, respectively.
There are currently 36 doctors of the church, including Ss. John Chrysostom, Augustine, Catherine of Siena and Therese of Lisieux.


I had my blood drawn this morning for my estrogen and fsh level after completing the clomid last night. I am happy I am done with the clomid but I am anxiously waiting for the results this afternoon to see where my numbers are. I am excited to get this behind me but very nervous about the results. Fingers crossed for good numbers.

Q: Correct usage of "help" and parallelism I want to combine "A helps B to Verb1." and "A helps C to Verb2." into one sentence.
However, "A helps B Verb1." and "A helps C Verb2." are also correct sentences. ("to" can be omitted.)
So, my question is: Are there any incorrect sentences among the following?

*

*"A helps B to Verb1 and helps C to Verb2."

*"A helps B to Verb1 and C to Verb2."

*"A helps B Verb1 and C Verb2."

Here are examples.

*

*This test will help students to find their talents and it will help their parents to understand them.

*This test will help students to find their talents and their parents to understand them.

*This test will help students find their talents and their parents understand them.

A: All three sentences seem to me indistinguishable from sentences a native speaker of English would make.
There is some ambiguity in some of them, but ambiguity is a reality of human speech, and the people telling you you're wrong because your sentences can be interpreted in more than one way may not know what they're talking about.

A: This test will help students to find their talents and it will help their parents to understand them.
The test creates this reaction... The students find their own talents, the parents understand either the students or the talents.. I'm not sure which.
This test will help students to find their talents and their parents to understand them.
Same as above, though now I am more inclined to believe that 'them' refers to talents, only due to it being the last plural.
This test will help students find their talents and their parents understand them.
Here you are affirming that the parents already understand their children/talents or even the reasons of the text.
All of these example are too ambiguous, so I'd choose different connectors to clarify your meanings (unless it's for marketing) for example...
This test will help students find their talents, xxxxx their parents understand those talents.
Xxxxx - helping / this in turn will help / thus helping
Hope this helps!

A: As the comments by Jon Hanna and Araucaria (above) indicate, the three examples you give are not faulty as a matter of parallelism or grammar. But the example sentences you provide don't consist only of "A helps B to Verb1 and helps C to Verb2," "A helps B to Verb1 and C to Verb2," and "A helps B Verb1 and C Verb2." Rather, because the verbs involved are transitive, they introduce direct objects of both Verb1 and Verb2:

*

*"A helps B to TransitiveVerb1 ObjectC and helps D to TransitiveVerb2 ObjectE."

*"A helps B to TransitiveVerb1 ObjectC and D to TransitiveVerb2 ObjectE."

*"A helps B TransitiveVerb1 ObjectC and D TransitiveVerb2 ObjectE."

where ObjectC and ObjectE are the objects of TransitiveVerb1 and TransitiveVerb2, respectively. Unfortunately, these additions to the logic of each sentence complicate the task of associating the parts properly, especially at the "ObjectC and D" point of the second and third sentences.
At the very last, I would add a comma after ObjectC in the second and third sentences, to indicate a break where the break from one parallel branch to the other occurs. Even then, I think the first sentence of the three is clearer than the other two.
And finally, for reasons that probably have more to do with idiomatic patterns of usage (or perhaps personal idiosyncrasy) than anything else, I would use a fourth structure, instead of any of the three you offer—namely,

*"A helps B TransitiveVerb1 ObjectC and helps D TransitiveVerb2 ObjectE."

(omitting to twice), which in your original example would translate into this sentence:

"This test will help students find their talents and will help their parents understand those talents."


Git can transfer data between two repositories in two major ways: the "dumb" protocol and the "smart" protocol. This section will quickly cover how these two main protocols operate.
If you're setting up a repository to be served read-only over HTTP, the dumb protocol is likely what will be used. This protocol is called "dumb" because it requires no Git-specific code on the server side during the transport process; the fetch process is a series of HTTP GET requests, where the client can assume the layout of the Git repository on the server.
The dumb protocol is fairly rarely used these days. It's difficult to secure or make private, so most Git hosts (both cloud-based and on-premises) will refuse to use it. It's generally advised to use the smart protocol, which we describe a bit further on.
You have your tree object, so you continue walking your commits. They're all also within the packfile you just downloaded, so you don't have to do any more requests to your server. Git checks out a working copy of the master branch that was pointed to by the HEAD reference you downloaded at the beginning.
The dumb protocol is simple but a bit inefficient, and it can't handle writing of data from the client to the server. The smart protocol is a more common method of transferring data, but it requires a process on the remote end that is intelligent about Git – it can read local data, figure out what the client has and needs, and generate a custom packfile for it. There are two sets of processes for transferring data: a pair for uploading data and a pair for downloading data.
To upload data to a remote process, Git uses the send-pack and receive-pack processes. The send-pack process runs on the client and connects to a receive-pack process on the remote side.
The git-receive-pack command immediately responds with one line for each reference it currently has – in this case, just the master branch and its SHA-1. The first line also has a list of the server's capabilities (here, report-status, delete-refs, and some others, including the client identifier).
Each line starts with a 4-character hex value specifying how long the rest of the line is. Your first line starts with 00a5, which is hexadecimal for 165, meaning that 165 bytes remain on that line. The next line is 0000, meaning the server is done with its references listing.
Git sends a line for each reference you're updating with the line's length, the old SHA-1, the new SHA-1, and the reference that is being updated. The first line also has the client's capabilities. The SHA-1 value of all '0's means that nothing was there before – because you're adding the experiment reference. If you were deleting a reference, you would see the opposite: all '0's on the right side.
That's the end of the first client-server exchange. The client then makes another request, this time a POST, with the data that send-pack provides.
The POST request includes the send-pack output and the packfile as its payload. The server then indicates success or failure with its HTTP response.
When you download data, the fetch-pack and upload-pack processes are involved. The client initiates a fetch-pack process that connects to an upload-pack process on the remote side to negotiate what data will be transferred down.
This is very similar to what receive-pack responds with, but the capabilities are different. In addition, it sends back what HEAD points to (symref=HEAD:refs/heads/master) so the client knows what to check out if this is a clone.
Again, this is the same format as above. The response to this request indicates success or failure, and includes the packfile.
This section contains a very basic overview of the transfer protocols. The protocol includes many other features, such as multi_ack or side-band capabilities, but covering them is outside the scope of this book. We've tried to give you a sense of the general back-and-forth between client and server; if you need more knowledge than this, you'll probably want to take a look at the Git source code.


Nowadays, Styria is not only home to the development and competence centre for the "Fentro" and "Door" ranges but is also the location of the site with the greatest vertical range of manufacture.
Long and small parts are galvanised on this production station.
The photo shows one of more than twenty PVC injection moulding machines in Roto's Austrian factory.
Managing Director Alois Lechner (on the right) is leaving Roto Frank Austria GmbH. His successor, Head of Production Christian Lazarevic, comes from the company's own ranks.
It doesn't take long for it to become apparent at the Kalsdorf site how efficiently tradition can be combined with progress. In mid-November 2018, this is how Alois Lechner linked the long and eventful history of Roto's Austrian site with its current significance for the globally active specialist in window and door technology.
The Managing Director of Roto Frank Austria GmbH had a special reason for making this statement: specialist journalists from 16 different countries were present, with Lechner and his team providing them with a running commentary of ongoing operations at the production site in Styria.
There are "some really unusual conditions" at the company premises, which are steeped in history. For instance, the fact that a branch of the River Mur runs through the pocket of land, which covers 111,500 m² in total, is not exactly typical of a modern factory in the 21st century. The same applies to the building structure and layout, which have expanded over time, at the site that is celebrating its 150th anniversary in 2018.
Lechner explained that Roto's activities in Austria began in 1979 with the acquisition of 51% of the share capital of Lapp-Finze Eisenwarenfabriken AG by Wilhelm Frank GmbH, as it was known back then. Complete acquisition followed two years later. This heralded a continuous phase of "major investment in modernisation and expansion" which extends to all production areas. The latest example of this is a new powder coating system costing almost €2.5 million.
Nowadays, Styria is not only home to the development and competence centre for the "Fentro" and "Door" ranges but is also the location of the production site with the greatest vertical range of manufacture in the construction supplier's international network of factories. Premises approximately 28,700 m² in size currently house the company's own facilities for tool manufacture, stamping, electroplating, powder coating, zinc die-cast, PVC injection moulding, pre-production and custom production for individual parts, assembly, warehouses for semi-finished products and finished goods and finally shipping, with most of these systems being automated. Thanks to this "end-to-end capacity" and efficient processes, it is possible to produce both small-scale and large-scale series depending on requirements.
As a result of the special local conditions, the site also has three of its own small hydroelectric power stations, which generate around 25% of the annual electricity required, amounting to approximately 12 million kWh. Roto considers itself to be in a good position, including where other matters relating to energy and the environment are concerned. Proof of this includes total conversion to energy-efficient LED lighting, modern wastewater and exhaust air systems and a boiler house for supplying heat. Roto's active participation in a current pilot project for conserving water, chemicals and energy in the electroplating processes also highlights the company's willingness to consider "new ideas and approaches".
Lechner simply described the product range manufactured in Kalsdorf as "extensive". He specifically mentioned hardware for Tilt&Turn / Turn-Only / Tilt-Only windows, mechanical and electronic multipoint locking systems for entrance doors, main door hinges for various application ranges, window shutter comfort hardware, electronic accessories for windows and doors, zinc and PVC components and punched parts. These are mainly supplied to other companies within the Roto Group. The company's customer base also includes customers from other industries.
The Managing Director also highlighted the fact that around 10% of the company's current 370 employees are trainees. This is testimony to the company's solemn pledge to take its own steps to counteract the shortage of skilled labour that has become pronounced in Austria. The provision of training in seven different skilled trades is also an expression of the range of technologies used at the site. The systematic commitment to trainees is the "logical consequence" of the company's own high quality standards and those of market partners.
Head of Roto Dr Eckhard Keill used the 13th International Trade Press Day as an opportunity to express his appreciation for Alois Lechner, who will be retiring at the end of 2018 / start of 2019 after 45 years of working at the company. He started work in the factory in July 1973 as a young man aged 17 and gained initial experience in the Accounting department. As Keill went on to state, he continuously took on more tasks and greater responsibility until finally becoming Managing Director in 2006. Lechner rendered great service to the company as a "high achiever and pillar of strength for the Kalsdorf site". While showing his gratitude to Lechner, Keill passed on "best wishes" from the entire Roto Group for the future personal endeavours of the soon-to-be retiree.
At the same time, he introduced the new Managing Director of Roto Frank Austria GmbH, Christian Lazarevic (55). The current Head of Production started working for the company back in 2010 and is therefore "very familiar" with it. The many years of collaboration with Lechner will ensure that the changeover will go off without a hitch. Keill: With the carefully planned transition, we are clearly signifying continuity and stability in this position.

Should you set a deadline?
Back before the summer break, I gave myself a deadline to have most of the first draft of book three completed by the time my daughter went back to school.
I started with good intentions, and all was going well until…the inevitable spanner in the works came hurtling along.
Whenever I have given myself a deadline with this third book, something always crops up to sabotage my goal. This never happens when I am given a deadline by someone else, but me, when I set a goal, it often backfires.
Over the six-week holiday my daughter caught the Noro virus (which she kindly passed on to me – sharing is caring!) Actually, I shouldn't joke, because we were both very ill – I actually lost 6 lbs in three days! Yes, a nasty stomach bug can have its benefits to the waistline, but I think 6 lbs in that short amount of time is pretty extreme.
I'll spare you all the nasty details, but we were ill for over two weeks, and even after the worst of it had passed, I still felt awful and had no energy to get back to book three.
From now on I will not give myself a deadline. I seem to jinx it every time, and with the How to Hook an Agent event coming up in a few weeks time, I hope to have more of book three completed, but if it's not, I'm not going to beat myself up about it.
I can't help but wonder how many of you are the same? Do you 'jinx' your own progress? How to you tackle deadlines or do you refuse to set a target for yourself?
I now just take each writing day as it comes, and don't put too much pressure on myself…unless there is a deadline set by someone else of course – then there really are no excuses!
I absolutely jinx my deadlines! Also, I've proven to myself that if I set some kind of daily word count goal, thinking I should just turn out word count even if it's crap, I will succeed in producing crap. The only time a deadline is useful to me is during editing (when the publisher needs me to meet a deadline) or while preparing a book for self-publishing (otherwise I'll talk myself out of doing it).
Glad I'm not alone! 😀 I don't feel so bad now.
If I have a real deadline I'm great. A self imposed one I'm terrible! I think we can just keep promising ourselves to put our bums in the seat.
