Practice makes perfect right? There is usually a positive correlation between the number of times you do something and your ability to do it. Driving seems to not follow this rule. Like dancing or listening, it seems to be something you are either good at or not. Practice may help, but if you are one of those bad drivers I see on the road every day, you are never going to be good at it, no matter how many hours you spend behind the wheel. You may become barely competent at best. Taxi drivers are a pretty good example of this theory. They spend more hours behind the wheel than they do on their feet in any given day and they still get as many middle fingers directed at them as Jane Fonda at a Veteran's Day parade.
I remember taking a driver's education class before getting my license as a teenager. I took a week long class about two weeks before obtaining my license and I literally drove the instructor's vehicle for less than ten minutes in that week. I did, however, drive myself to the class daily since it was in the summer, my parents weren't home and the car I was getting for my upcoming birthday was already parked in our garage. I was a rule breaker from birth, so this didn't seem like a particularly bad thing to do. In my fifteen year old mind driving without a license was less of a crime than inconveniencing a family member or neighbor by asking them for a ride.
When the instructor asked me how much experience I had driving I said "a little". Having no point of reference, it seemed like an acceptable answer. I had been riding a motorcycle since I could hold it up by myself and logged as many hours riding as a long-haul trucker full of adderal. I had also been appointed the designated driver at the age of eight on a trip to Canada with the Indian Princesses. This sounds bad until you know that we pulled into a gas station and a nine year old was behind the wheel of another car. Okay, I guess it still sounds bad. Regardless, I thought everyone had the same amount of experience as I did. I was mistaken.
I spent three of the five days in class sitting in the backseat praying that I didn't die because the fifteen year old in the front seat couldn't simultaneously keep her hands at ten and two and her foot on the gas peddle. I quit turning to look out the back window after awhile, fully expecting to get flattened by a semi because little Suzy couldn't get our car up to the speed limit in the football field length of space she had on the freeway entrance ramp. A sat, silently praying that the gas peddle and steering wheel would receive some kind of divine intervention. Somehow, by the end of the week, everyone was sent on their way to the Secretary of State with a certificate of completion.
I was behind a student driver last week that made little Suzy look like a race care driver. She was holding onto the wheel so tightly I could see her knuckles bulging from the side mirror as she attempted to make a right turn. I tried not to laugh as her back tire took the curb on the way around the bend. My amusement turned to concern as I saw a line of vehicles behind her attempting to pass as she drove down the center of two lanes. I think I even saw an old lady with a walker flip her a middle finger as she walked past. This girl was a hazard on the road, barely moving. I felt like I was watching the slow speed police chase led by OJ Simpson.
Unfortunately, I have seen many middle aged people driving the exact same way – people who should have years of driving experience. I watched a fifty year old man drive a mile through my neighborhood with two wheels completely on the curb. I don't know if it was his first time driving or if he was one of the people who would just never quite get the hang of driving. All I know is I had to slow down to avoid the spray of dust behind him and I watched people walking their dog pull back onto the grass to avoid the cloud coming at them. My seven year old giggled from the back seat asking "what in the world is that guy doing?" Even at her young age she knows when she sees a bad driver and she is not afraid to point them out. She has certainly heard enough backseat driving coming from the front seat!
If there is a good driving gene, I guess my daughter has a 50/50 shot of getting it. Although my husband and I have both spent countless hours behind the wheel, only one of us is really good at it. Just in case it is a skill that will develop with practice, we have put her behind the wheel already. She sits on my husband's lap and drives around empty parking lots. I'm happy to say she is doing better than at least 60% of the drivers I see on the road. I know driver's education classes are still a long time away but I am already contemplating where I will hide the car keys. After all, she is my kid.


Once British Toolbox started to build a substantial audience, my husband and I started making inroads into using online advertising to make a small profit from the site. Our early adventures were successful, but we found a lot of time and effort had to go into ensuring the ads on the site were from companies that we felt could actually help our visitors with whatever they wanted to achieve.
This led us to the idea of becoming more selective, while also exposing us to some of the issues that small businesses have with online marketing. We eventually decided that the best way to make sure that the businesses we want to help got the exposure they needed was to handle the entire process ourselves.
As a business owner, you can make use of the ability to advertise on our site in many ways. Here's a few reasons why you should get in touch.
As small business owners ourselves, we understand that many local businesses operate on almost razor-thin budgets that don't leave much wiggle room for experimenting with new forms of marketing. While this is perfectly understandable, it also places rather strict limits on the audience that you can appeal to.
Our aim is to cater our advertising services to meet your needs. This is why we communicate regularly with our advertising partners so we can work out ways to make what we have here at British Toolbox work for them. Small budgets aren't a problem, because the audience on our website is so relevant that you should see a rather remarkable return on your investment from the off, without having to sacrifice money to figuring out how it all works.
From a small blog that attracted maybe a couple of hundred hits a month, British Toolbox has grown massively to the point where the site now attracts thousands of visitors every single month. Many of these are fans of the site who check back regularly to read the latest posts, but what's really enticing for advertisers is the fact that 12,000 of these monthly visits come from unique readers who have never been on the site before.
As an advertiser, this means that you can show what you have to offer both to an installed audience of people who are proven to be interested in services that are relevant to what we cover in the blog, plus you will be placed in front of 12,000 new pairs of eyes every month. This means your customer base will grow alongside the audience of British Toolbox.
Another major problem that we found when we first started exploring online advertising was the amount of data and analytics work involved in making sure that everything is done right. It took us hours and hours to figure everything out and we know that is time that a lot of small business owners would rather be spending on their companies.
As such, by advertising with us you get to cut out all of the extras that make online advertising such a chore. We will handle all of the tinkering that your adverts need to ensure they reach the right people and are adjusted properly so not a single penny of your budget is wasted on trying to figure out what's what.
The size of the site's audience should tell you that people from all over Britain visit us for tips and advice. We offer a national audience to local businesses and, best of all, we can customize your adverts so they only reach the people who live in the areas where you provide your services.
The benefits of this are obvious. Practically everybody uses the internet in the modern age, so it is a lot cheaper to appeal to people online than it is to go through the time and money it takes to create leaflets and flyers. That doesn't even take the costs involved with delivery into account.
So there you have it. Four great reasons why you should choose to advertise with British Toolbox. We promise to do everything in our power to make your advertising campaign work wonders for you, so please use one of the site's contact forms to get started.

"Today's passage to scrap the expanded WOTUS rule is a major win for our hardworking farmers, ranchers, manufacturers, and small businesses who are continuously ignored by the EPA. It is abundantly clear that the WOTUS rule is ill-conceived and breeds uncertainty, confusion, and more red tape that threatens the livelihoods of many in Iowa and across the country.
"Our resolution stops the EPA from continuing to act as an unchecked federal agency of the Obama Administration, expanding its power over Iowa farmers, small businesses, ranchers, and other landowners in our rural communities. Iowans have an incentive to conserve their own land, they don't need Washington bureaucrats from the EPA telling them what's best. Passing this resolution is a major step forward to stop the EPA's blatant power grab and scrap the expanded WOTUS rule.
Click here and here to watch Senator Ernst's remarks on the floor of the Senate.
Last month, Senator Ernst released a statement following a federal court ruling to issue a nationwide stay, suspending implementation of WOTUS.
The Iowa Senator cosponsored Senator Barrasso's proposal, which provided clear principles and directions for the EPA and ACE to craft a WOTUS rule that takes into consideration positions held by key stakeholders.
In May, Senator Ernst denounced the EPA's finalized WOTUS rule as harmful to Iowa.
In May, Senator Ernst also introduced Iowa farmer and small business owner Darcy Maulsby to testify on the impact of WOTUS before the Small Business and Entrepreneurship Committee, and share her personal experience with the harmful impact and overregulation by the EPA in Iowa.
In February, Senator Ernst invited EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy to Iowa to see the potential impact of overregulation in Iowa. Administrator McCarthy has yet to take Senator Ernst up on this offer.

New Music From Indie-Artists Reality Anonymous and AJ Rosales
Arriving this month is the debut album from alternative, melodic/psychedelic rock band, Reality Anonymous. The band is the brainchild of Lyn Vaus, a thirty-year veteran in the music industry, who was inspired to make music again by working on the films "The Darien Gap," "Next Stop Wonderland" and "Temptation." The new album titled "The Ghost Host, Vol. 1" features sixteen tracks, each with its own framed picture on the cover of the album. Reality Anonymous begins with the gently told story of "Penny," as the music simply floats along, while "I Love Her Everywhere" carries a sixties psychedelic-pop vibe. The music gets slightly more aggressive with the raw, grunge-style sound of "New Fire," while the music of "Bathhouse Frieze" swirls around, almost unnoticeably. Reality Anonymous keep flashing back to sixties with the nostalgic tones of "Out Of Nowhere" and "Neti Neti (I Lost My Context Lens)." They take a shot at the former president with "Orange Explosion," before finishing the album with the uplifting pop of "Happy Moments" and the dark, alt-country melody of "The Rest In Peace." To find out more about Reality Anonymous and their latest release "The Ghost Host, Vol. 1," please visit facebook.com/realityanonymous.
Also new this month is the fifth solo album from singer/songwriter AJ Rosales titled "Manifestations." Rosales has toured with world-renown acts like Modern English and Vertical Horizons. His new album features a dozen tracks, beginning with the high-energy instrumental "Summoner" and the passionate folk explosion of "Disengage." The energy continues to flow through the alternative-pop strumming of "Tear It Apart," before finally slowing down for the bluesy ballad "Heaven," which flashes some of AJ's stellar guitar work during the song's solo. AJ Rosales closes out his new album with the addictive melody of "If Not Today" and the beautifully, elegant delivery of the instrumental "Snowflakes." To find out more about AJ Rosales and his latest release "Manifestations," please visit ajrosales.com.

Review: "The Telling" by Ursula K. Le Guin
When it comes to literary science fiction, there are few names more recognizable than Ursula K. Le Guin. The award-winning, critically-acclaimed author of "The Left Hand of Darkness" and the Earthsea novels is one of only a handful of science fiction writers to actually make their way into literature classes.
My introduction to Le Guin came in a college textbook, which featured her short story "The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas." I quickly moved on to the Earthsea books, which I enjoyed immensely.
Now Le Guin has returned with "The Telling," out this month in trade paperback from Ace. It's the first book in her Hainish cycle in over 25 years.
Historian Sutty Dass is sent to the planet Aka to study its culture. Unfortunately, in the time it has taken her to travel the light years to the planet, its society has changed. Aka is now ruled by the Corporation, a capitalist government based on principles picked up from reports of Earth.
The ancient culture of Aka has been pinned under the bootheel of the Corporation, which encourages - sometimes violently - everyone to be good consumer-producers. The old ways and stories have disappeared in the cities. Anyone caught practicing those customs is imprisoned, and if they survive the punishment, re-educated.
So far Sutty has been sheltered from the real Aka, fed the same propaganda over and over from Officials. But now she's been given a chance to travel outside the city, where she discovers the true nature of the people. But how can she report it without drawing the wrath of the Corporation down on the people who have trusted her with the Telling?
I have to admit that I haven't read much of the Hainish cycle, but that hardly mattered. From the first pages, the book began to draw me into this new world, setting up a web of mystery about the origins of the people of Aka before the rise of the Corporation.
I was a little disappointed in the follow-through, though. Somewhere near the middle, "The Telling" gets bogged down with a dump of information about the Aka. Rather than working it into the story, it seems to be presented more like Sutty's scientific report. Fortunately, Le Guin recovers for a solid ending.
More importantly, though, are the thoughts the book produced in me. Somewhere between classics like Ray Bradbury's "Fahrenheit 451" and George Orwell's "1984," the novel made me think about some of our technological advances. When you take a look at the lack of privacy under the Corporation, you begin to wonder a little about satellite systems that can pinpoint your vehicle anywhere in the country and other things that many people consider "conveniences."
"The Telling" also has some connections with unfortunate recent events, as Sutty's life has been altered by the terrorist attacks of an extremist religious group back on Earth. Le Guin doesn't dwell on these aspects of the book - which was originally published in hardcover a year ago - but some scenes are unsettlingly similar to the events of Sept. 11.
"The Telling" is a science fiction story, but like "Fahrenheit 451" and "1984" it also contains a cautionary tale. Perhaps we should listen.

Review: "From the Dust Returned" by Ray Bradbury


This is one of Nolan's mini-jets. It is characterised by its blend of modern design and "vintage" inspiration, as well as its numerous technical features and the wide range of colours and graphics available. The compact volume (thanks to the availability of two outer shell sizes), VPS sunscreen, very closefitting inner comfort padding and Helmet Lock Ring make the N21 VISOR an interesting product for both the scooter and motor-tourism sectors (thanks to the ultrawide visor). Furthermore, the special attention paid to the combination of materials, finishings and colours, as well as the wide range on offer, make the N21 VISOR a mini-jet which attracts a broad cross-section of the public, whether they are looking for a classic style or are more interested in current fashions.
The large surface of the S/R (Scratch Resistant) visor makes it possible to have a broader view, also lateral, thus highly increasing active safety. It is also able to protect the rider's face from water and wind while guaranteeing air circulation within the helmet, as is to be expected from a jet helmet.
Positioned outside the helmet, it is moulded out of LEXANTM* and is S/R (Scratch Resistant) treated. With UV protection up to 400 nanometres, it is easy to remove when it is not needed, or for normal maintenance and cleaning operations. *IS A TRADEMARK OF SABIC.
The inner comfort padding is designed to offer both the typical lightness of a jet helmet and the close fit of a full-face helmet. The chin straps integrated into the liner (which are therefore removable and washable), favour the helmet's fit as well as its wearability.
A ring to secure the helmet to the motorbike.
The helmet is compatible and approved with the N-Com MULTI communication systems.


Balance is not something you find. It's something you create.
When you lose 30kgs in less than a year, people want to know the secret. They want the prescription, the remedy or a quick fix that will help them achieve the same results. It's totally fair enough, I get it. I remember asking those same questions once upon a time. I was overweight, unmotivated and felt like a spectator in my life. It's not a nice feeling, by the way. I was SO BUSY in my life (superwoman complex anyone?) that I totally and utterly stopped looking after myself, it really is as simple as that.
It might sound cliché, but girl, I let myself go.
I would have loved for someone to give me the answer. Alas, I had to find it for myself.
A little about me and why I started My Balance Project and The Balance Project events around NZ.

Trump says as far as he is concerned, Afghanistan talks are dead
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump said on Monday that talks with Afghanistan's Taliban leaders are off and that he was still considering a U.S. troop drawdown in the country.
"They're dead. They're dead. As far as I'm concerned, they're dead," Trump said of the talks, speaking with reporters as he left the White House for North Carolina.
Months of U.S. negotiations with the Taliban militants, who control large parts of Afghanistan, ended on Saturday when Trump abruptly announced he was canceling secret talks at Camp David with the Taliban and the country's president, Ashraf Ghani. The talks were aimed at securing an agreement to pull U.S. troops out after nearly 20 years of war.
A draft accord agreed last week would have seen about 5,000 American troops withdrawn over coming months in exchange for guarantees that Afghanistan would not be used as a base for militant attacks on the United States or its allies.
Despite the Afghan government's wariness of negotiating with the Taliban, Trump had hoped having both parties at the presidential compound in Maryland could produce an agreement.
Trump said he knew the gathering could not take place after the Taliban claimed responsibility for a suicide attack last week that killed an American soldier in the capital Kabul.
The end of the talks has fueled fears of a further increase in violence across Afghanistan.
Fighting continued in the region even as talks took place, with the Taliban stepping up attacks in recent weeks. An American general said on Monday the U.S. military is likely to accelerate the pace of its operations in Afghanistan to counter the upsurge.
Bringing U.S. troops home from Afghanistan has been one of Trump's main foreign policy objectives, and the Republican president said his administration was still thinking about a drawdown of the 14,000 U.S. soldiers in the country.
"We'd like to get out but we'll get out at the right time," he said.
Afghan President Ghani, who was sidelined from months of negotiations between U.S. officials and Taliban representatives, had been deeply suspicious of the talks, which sought to agree a timetable for an American withdrawal.
On Monday, Ghani made a renewed call for peace but insisted the Taliban must observe a ceasefire, as he sought to regain a hold on the peace process.

Meanwhile, Trump defended his decision to offer up the historic Camp David compound to a militant group that harbored Sept. 11 mastermind Osama bin Laden and is still killing Americans, so close to the 18th anniversary of the 2001 attacks.
"Camp David's held meetings with a lot of people that would have been perceived as being pretty tough customers and pretty bad people," he said. "There have been plenty of so-called bad people brought up to Camp David for meetings. And the alternative was the White House, and you wouldn't have been happy with that either."
Located in the Catoctin Mountains outside Washington, the Camp David retreat has been used to host foreign dignitaries and was the site of landmark peace efforts, including when President Bill Clinton hosted Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak and Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat.

            { authId: 99, type: 3, value: 'Test' }
        ]
    },
    {
        id: 2, auths: [
            { authId: 1, type: 1, value: 'Test1' },
            { authId: 2, type: 1, value: 'Test2' },
            { authId: 4, type: 2, value: 'Test4' },
            { authId: 99, type: 3, value: 'Test' }
        ]
    },
    {
        id: 3, auths: [
            { authId: 1, type: 1, value: 'Test1' },
            { authId: 4, type: 2, value: 'Test4' },
            { authId: 5, type: 1, value: 'Test5' },
            { authId: 99, type: 3, value: 'Test' }
        ]
    },
    {
        id: 4, auths: [
            { authId: 1, type: 1, value: 'Test1' },
            { authId: 3, type: 2, value: 'Test3' },
            { authId: 4, type: 2, value: 'Test4' },
            { authId: 99, type: 3, value: 'Test' }
        ]
    }
]

and the output i wanted
var outArr = [
    { authId: 1, type: 1, value: 'Test1' },
    { authId: 4, type: 2, value: 'Test4' }
]

i was try this;
arr.map(p=>p.auths).filter(x=> arr.map(p=>p.auths).includes(x))

and this;
var _map=arr.map(p=>p.auths);
_map.filter(({authId:id1})=> _map.some(({authId:id2})=> id2!==id1))

I tried a few more things but it didn't work. I don't want to use a loop. How can I do this without using a loop?

A: You could do something like:

var arr = [ { id: 1, auths: [ { authId: 1, type: 1, value: 'Test1' }, { authId: 2, type: 1, value: 'Test2' }, { authId: 3, type: 2, value: 'Test3' }, { authId: 4, type: 2, value: 'Test4' }, { authId: 99, type: 3, value: 'Test' } ] }, { id: 2, auths: [ { authId: 1, type: 1, value: 'Test1' }, { authId: 2, type: 1, value: 'Test2' }, { authId: 4, type: 2, value: 'Test4' }, { authId: 99, type: 3, value: 'Test' } ] }, { id: 3, auths: [ { authId: 1, type: 1, value: 'Test1' }, { authId: 4, type: 2, value: 'Test4' }, { authId: 5, type: 1, value: 'Test5' }, { authId: 99, type: 3, value: 'Test' } ] }, { id: 4, auths: [ { authId: 1, type: 1, value: 'Test1' }, { authId: 3, type: 2, value: 'Test3' }, { authId: 4, type: 2, value: 'Test4' }, { authId: 99, type: 3, value: 'Test' } ] } ];

let intersectedArray = arr.map(x => x.auths)[0];
arr.map(x => x.auths).map(arr => {
   intersectedArray = intersectedArray.filter(n => {
      return arr.map(el => {return n.authId === el.authId && n.type === el.type && n.value === el.value;}).includes(true)
   });
})
console.log(intersectedArray)

map the auths arrays, then map again by filtering an inner map that checks if elements are equal.
If you want only elements of type 1,2 just add a condition on inner map:

var arr = [ { id: 1, auths: [ { authId: 1, type: 1, value: 'Test1' }, { authId: 2, type: 1, value: 'Test2' }, { authId: 3, type: 2, value: 'Test3' }, { authId: 4, type: 2, value: 'Test4' }, { authId: 99, type: 3, value: 'Test' } ] }, { id: 2, auths: [ { authId: 1, type: 1, value: 'Test1' }, { authId: 2, type: 1, value: 'Test2' }, { authId: 4, type: 2, value: 'Test4' }, { authId: 99, type: 3, value: 'Test' } ] }, { id: 3, auths: [ { authId: 1, type: 1, value: 'Test1' }, { authId: 4, type: 2, value: 'Test4' }, { authId: 5, type: 1, value: 'Test5' }, { authId: 99, type: 3, value: 'Test' } ] }, { id: 4, auths: [ { authId: 1, type: 1, value: 'Test1' }, { authId: 3, type: 2, value: 'Test3' }, { authId: 4, type: 2, value: 'Test4' }, { authId: 99, type: 3, value: 'Test' } ] } ];

let intersectedArray = arr.map(x => x.auths)[0];
arr.map(x => x.auths).map(arr => {
   intersectedArray = intersectedArray.filter(n => {
      return arr.map(el => {return n.authId === el.authId && n.type === el.type && n.value === el.value && el.type !== 3;}).includes(true)
   });
})
console.log(intersectedArray)

The theft of intellectual property, such as trademarks, patents and copyrights, is a real threat – costing U.S. businesses an estimated $250 billion annually. There are a number of precautions that businesses can take in order to reduce the risk of intellectual property theft and protect their company.
Know your valuable assets. Don't underestimate the value of information. By understanding exactly what you company's valuable assets are, you can take the proper precautions to guard them from theft. Intellectual property can include databases, source codes, programs, content, designs and more.
Register your intellectual property. Once an original work is created, it is automatically protected by copyright law. However, registering your company's intellectual property with the U.S. Library of Congress Copyright Office allows you to better defend the work's rights should theft occur. Using the © Copyright symbol and the year the work was first published lets viewers know it's protected.
Provide clear contracts. Intellectual property theft is often committed by company employees, who can steal confidential information and use it at competing firms. In order to protect your works, put in place strong contracts that employees must sign, preventing them from sharing confidential information.
Today's businesses thrive on technology for efficiency, accuracy and increased profits. As technology continues to evolve, companies continue to improve their services and day-to-day operations. Yet the steady growth in information technology means that electronic data theft, security breaches and hacking has become more complex and prevalent, as well.
Your company may have the most advanced risk tools and security features in place to protect sensitive information, but it's also important to keep you employees educated about the risks and precautions.
Here are a few tips that all employees should understand in order to protect company data and themselves.
Keep important documents with confidential data in a safe place. Shred all unused documents.
Do not reply to suspicious emails that request user login and password info.
Use complex passwords with a combination of letters, numbers and symbols. Do not write passwords down, and be sure to change them often.
Do not click on suspicious links – these may direct you to sites that install malicious software onto your computer.
Ensure Internet browsers and security programs are always up-to-date.

The ABRHS Library Reopens
BY SOPHIA SAGHIR'24
Venture into the Raymond J. Grey Library at ABRHS, and you'll find it packed with students completing their homework, taking tests in the silent section, or milling through the bookshelves, looking for their next read. With all of its uses, it's no surprise that students and staff alike were excited for the library to reopen this past September.
The library was a proverbial ghost town last year, as COVID-19 restrictions forced it to close: the limitations of contact tracing made it difficult for the administration to know where, when, and which students were in the library. Ms. Secino, an ABRHS librarian for over eight years, elaborated, "There were too many moving parts in the library versus a regular classroom." Furthermore, the decision was made before vaccines were accessible. Aware of the library's popularity, the administration thought it would be a safer choice to keep its doors shut at the time.
However, the library didn't leave students without any resources. Instead, it offered a newly created readers' advisory form: students could fill out these forms for a personalized book suggestion list. Although students may choose to browse books in-person with the library's reopening, the form remains available.
This year though, the administration feels confident that the library is a safe space for students. With a high vaccination rate amongst students and studies proving surface transmission of COVID-19 to be extremely low, it appears that the library poses no substantial risk. That being said, multiple changes have been implemented for it to remain open. For example, in an effort to reduce density in areas where a large number of students normally congregate, tables that used to have four chairs now only have two. Such changes have affected the library's environment: its obstreperous nature has been subdued, allowing students to focus on their work.
Another important addition is a contact tracing system: students sign in so that it can be logged when specific students are in the library. Students sign in by either scanning the QR code on the tables or accessing the library website, where the form is linked at the top of the page.
General library resources have also changed in the past three years, most noticeably makeup testing: with students not being allowed to stay after-school last year, they were unable to take makeup assessments after school. The silent section of the library is now dedicated to makeup testing during the school day, where students can take a test during a free period or directed study.
Additionally, the writing center has been closed since the beginning of last year; students could once drop in and receive help with any writing assignment from other high school students. The center closed last year because the teacher who ran it took leave and chose not to return. The library staff would love to see the writing center running again, but there are no current plans to revive it.
Moreover, the library offers tech support and loaner Chromebooks. Such resources have been extremely helpful since technology has become an integral part of students' lives, especially since the initiation of the 1:1 Chromebook policy. The library website has numerous resources such as databases, book lists, newsletters, and other digital resource tools that have been updated since the pandemic.
Currently, the library is in the process of opening a "library of things," where students can check out random items they would like to try, such as a calligraphy set or even a ukulele. They hope to open this wonderful, hands-on learning space after February break.
Even with all the changes to COVID-19 guidelines and the resources available in the library in the past three years, one thing has stayed the same: the library is and always will be here as a resource for students. Ms. Secino concluded, "We want the library to be a safe and welcoming place for all students… we're really here to help you. We don't want anyone to be afraid to ask us for help."

CAMDEN'S Labour group can be split, in the main, between the Haywardites and the Tulipistas. It may not be a schism of Blair-Brown sharpness, it may even be unfair to use a word as dramatic as schism, but a fracture exists which goes back to the night Sarah Hayward won the leadership of the council group by a single vote from Tulip Siddiq.
And sure enough, if you can work out who is broadly on which side, you can usually deduce whether they will be supporting Sarah in her bid to win parliamentary selection in Holborn and St Pancras. Or not. Of course, this is not a hard-and-fast rule, but it's part of the dynamic and in the Midland Hotel bar it was noticeable that on Monday evening a table of Haywardites sat apart from a table of Tulipistas, loosely grouping themselves these days as a fan club for an alternative selection candidate, Sir Keir Starmer. This may have been by chance.
It's a big bar, full of striding shadow ministers. There's a shortage of seats at knocking-out time in the main hall and you grab the first perch you can. Yes, it may all have been a coincidence, just like the way our group picture on the facing page was taken by someone you'd guess to be a Tulipista – and without Sarah, the team captain in sight.
We will no doubt be told that this was all an organisational mishap into which we must not read too much. But it's curious that it was organised at a time when Sarah was speaking at another venue in her frenetic tour of fringe meetings. Into such fun and games have strolled Ivana Bartoletti, flitting between both tables, and Patrick French.
For, despite earnest attempts to talk policy this week, most specifically some interesting thoughts raised by Theo Blackwell about greater devolution to local authorities in the wake of the Scotland vote, the bugging distraction remains this unsolved dilemma of who will get Frank Dobson's seat. This person is winning. That person doesn't stand a chance. Did you hear about Tony McNulty? And on it goes. In the press room, national journalists greet a hack from Camden with only the H & St P question. Half-acquaintances from other London Labour groups pester for tips on who will win.
But it would be foolish to call a winner now.
The Tulipistas already have one key victory – Tulip's own seizing of Hampstead and Kilburn – but this time they are up against a more organised campaign, and the Haywardites seem more focused on not letting a safe seat slip away so easily. The endgame of this saga, and, folks, it will come to a climax at some stage, may well just be as interesting as the actual election itself.

Digital Media Is Now The Mainstream Media
Pix : Sulimi bin Ismail, School of Media and Commuication Studies FSSH
BANGI, 10 Dec 2012 – Digital media once considered the alternative has now become mainstream overtaking the mainstream media which has become a dinosaur.
Deputy Minister of Higher Education, Dato' Saifuddin Abdullah said digital media has usurped that role in the wake of the gigantic strides in ICT which have impacted the way information is disseminated in the country.
He was speaking when officiating the Perdana Mention Night 2012 organised by the School of Media and Communication Studies, Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities of The National University of Malaysia (UKM) and its students here last night.
He said digital media was once considered the alternative media but has now progressed into becoming the mainstream usurping the traditional role of mainstream media which has now become a dinosaur.
As such students needed to adapt to the new environment to enable them to enter the new field without much problems, he said.
Dato' Saifuddin reminded the students that academic life is different from working life and they have to adapt with their new surroundings.
The annual dinner was organised to entertain final year students who would be finishing their studies soon. Dato' Saifuddin presented awards to those who excelled in their fields.
Deputy Secretary General of the Ministry of Information, Communication and Culture, Dato' Rothiah Omar; Dean Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities, Prof Hazita Azman; Director of Perkasa Remaja, Prof Samsudin Rahim; Director of Corporate Communications Centre, Prof Mohd Safar Hasim; Deputy Director of Securities and Public Order, Datuk Ameer Awal and Chairman of the School of Media and Communication Studies, Dr Normah Mustaffa attended the function.


Thousands of students plan to attend gun control rallies nationwide. Getting there just got a lot easier.
Thousands of students across the country plan to demonstrate on Saturday as part of a nationwide call for gun control. The problem is, many of them can't drive to those events. And parking will be a major pain.
But the ride-hailing company Lyft wants to help.
The company said it will offer free rides to attendees of the March For Our Lives events in 50 cities across the country, including Chicago. The company said in a release that Lyft co-founders John Zimmer and Logan Green support the civic engagement the students have inspired.

What $300,000 Buys in Little Village
From renovated worker cottages to brick three-flats, a couple hundred thousand goes a long way in La Villita.
By AJ LaTrace
Photo: RE/MAX Loyalty
Little Village is a community ever on the move, noted for its bustling 26th Street commercial district (dubbed Chicago's Mexican Magnificent Mile by the Reader) and for its inventory of sturdy brick worker cottages and flats.
In recent years, the area has climbed in the ranks of Chicago's much-hyped neighborhoods, as buzzy new tenants like Lagunitas Brewing and Cinespace attract attention and investment from speculators.
With rapid changes underway in neighboring Pilsen, Little Village may be on the precipice of its own battle over gentrification (and the rise in housing costs it brings). The process has been repeated for decades in Chicago — in Logan Square, Humboldt Park, and other areas — with predominantly working-class and immigrant enclaves feeling the pressure of high demand for housing in adjacent neighborhoods.
For now, though, Little Village remains affordable, flush with attractive multi-unit buildings and homes primed for restoration. Here's a look at a handful of properties currently for sale in the area for less than $300,000.
2120 South Christiana Avenue, $194,900

Everything is brand new and shiny in this quaint worker cottage on Christiana. Even after an extensive gut rehab and update, the house is listed under the $200,000 threshold, making it an appealing opportunity for the budget-minded buyer who doesn't want to compromise on quality.
2710 South Homan Avenue, $224,000
If you're prepared to roll up your sleeves, this old brick two-flat on South Homan could be transformed from a diamond in the rough into a polished gem. The property has already taken one price cut (albeit miniscule), indicating that the owners may be ready for a competitive offer.
2242 South Central Park Avenue, $239,000

Buyers who bump up their budgets to $250,000 can nab this well-maintained two-flat with an Italianate cornice. You shouldn't expect upscale finishes, but considering the monthly mortgage would total around $1,300 after closing, it's an enticing deal for families and young buyers looking to build equity.

For less than $300,000, it can be rare to find even a condo in Logan Square or Humboldt Park anymore. But head south to Little Village and you'll find that a beautiful brick three-flat is within reach. With three units in this particular building, buyers could build up equity quickly — that is, if you're prepared to be a small-time landlord.

WWE Hell in a Cell 2014 Preview: Matchups & Predictions
By Elton Jones
Updated Oct 26, 2014 at 1:02am
The most demonic structure to ever be built within the WWE will be the main topic of discussion on October 26, 2014. WWE Hell in a Cell 2014 will be headlined by two major feuds that will hopefully culminate in that massive steel structure.
Besides those two huge bouts, a slew of other matches will be taking place. Two behemoths will be engaging in a rematch of epic proportions, twin sisters will battle and the loser will become a servant, the United States Championship is on the line and much more will go down. This October special event match card is full of big time matches that will push us closer to the definite end of some of these feuds.
Here's our preview and match predictions for WWE Hell in a Cell 2014!
Goldust and Stardust (c) vs. The Usos (Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso) (WWE Tag Team Championship)
Predictions & Winner: The twisted and out-of-this-world tandem of Goldust and Stardust finally captured the "cosmic key" aka the Tag Team straps at Night of Champions 2014. They've turned into a much darker version of themselves and stole the titles away from the Uso brothers. We loved the 1st tag team championship bout between both teams and we're looking forward to their title rematch. Over the past couple of weeks, The Usos have walked out as the victors during 6-man bouts against the Dust Brothers. Don't let this current mean streak that the Usos are on fool you, though. Stardust and Goldust will retain the titles here and have another awesome match with their bitter rivals. We have a feeling that both teams will be staring each other down with their chosen allies at next month's Survivor Series.
Big Show vs. Rusev
Predictions & Winner: The initial bout between these two giants ended in controversy. Rusev looked close to tapping out Show while he had him locked in his Accolade submission hold, but Mark Henry interfered and stopped that from occurring. Henry was unable to vanquish the Russian "Super Athlete" once before, which is why Big Show has taken his spot in hopes of breaking Rusev's undefeated streak. We think Rusev still has a lot of steam left in his dominating run and we don't see him taking that 1st L anytime soon. Big Show doesn't need the win anyway. It's time to keep Rusev's push intact with more wins over men on his level and around his stature. Rusev takes the win here and we see him capturing the U.S. championship to really put his Anti-U.S. run over the top. This match will be a plodding but hard hitting affair, which we expect Rusev to prevail in.
Sheamus (c) vs. The Miz (WWE United States Championship)
Predictions & Winner: The Miz has veered away from rival Dolph Ziggler and the Intercontinental Championship. His eyes are now set on capturing the United States Championship, which is currently being held by the powerful Sheamus. Miz has gotten over on Sheamus on two occasions during their previous encounters. While this all may paint Miz as the eventual victor of this upcoming title bout, we're going to have to side with Sheamus on this one. Sheamus will retain here and put down both Miz and his trusty stunt double Damian Sandow. Why do we think this? Because we envision WWE's November 2014 event featuring a much-anticipated title bout between Sheamus and Rusev for the U.S. strap. Sorry, Miz. You're an afterthought in this match…
Brie Bella vs. Nikki Bella (Loser must become the winner's personal assistant)
Predictions & Winner: We're going to be completely honest with you guys – this feud SUCKS! We hate both Bella Twins and we could care less about what they do now or in the future. This match is the definition of a bathroom break. Who wins? Give it to the evil twin sister Nikki. This feud is going to continue (much to our displeasure…) and the only way to do so is by letting the pissed off twin with extra boobage get the win. Let's not waste anymore time on this horrible matchup, folks…

We stayed at InterContinental a while back and got to try their lavish breakfast buffet. This has to be the best of the lot this side. Even the one at Waters Edge, Temple Bay pales in comparison.
As usual, I got overwhelmed with the scale and was content with observing and trying a few that stood out from the rest. Service is top notch and then some more. They just shower you with so much attention and courtesy. The oriental section was a tad bit disappointing, the dimsum was nice, but the other custom noodle dish the hubby tried was a bit too oily for his comfort. The jalebis and samosas that were served at the table was as authentic as it could get.
None of us cared much for the South Indian section. The kids were engrossed with the amazing fresh fruit and juice counter. And I busied myself at the Continental counter. Their giant almond croissants literally take the cake! By far the best I have had in Chennai. The chef came over to see if we wanted anything else and I did point out a couple of spelling mistakes 🙂 And he insisted on serving us his signature pancakes or waffles and I hesitantly settled for waffles. And boy, was it delicious!
Out of all the counters, the continental section was a clear winner for us 🙂 As for the price, this buffet was included in our package so I am guessing somewhere around INR1500 per person….

The media has been awash with sensationalist stories of 'cyber attacks on the NHS'.
This is, of course a misrepresentation of the facts.
NHS trusts have fallen victim of a piece of insidious 'ransomware' that, according to Europol – and reported on the BBC News website here – have infected more than two hundred thousand victims in one hundred and fifty countries.
Other reports suggest as many as nine million computers in nearly two hundred countries.
The malware – known as 'Wannacry exploited a 'back door' known as 'EternalBlue' that the New York Times described as "a vulnerability that was discovered and developed by the National Security Agency (NSA)."
Microsoft issued security patches to its current operating systems a few months ago when 'EternalBlue' had been leaked by a hacking group known as the Shadow Brokers.
Of course, as we have reported here in the past, older operating systems such as Windows XP, Server 2003 and Vista are no longer publicly supported, and so no fixes were offered.
On Saturday May 13th Microsoft took the unexpected step of releasing an 'out of bounds patch' for unsupported operating systems such as Windows XP and Server 2003 meaning that people now are able to patch rather than having to attempt upgrades to newer system in order to be secured against this worm.
Sunday's British newspapers reported that a British InfoSec specialist – Malware Tech – had halted the initial attack by identifying and activating a 'kill switch' that sought a hitherto unregistered domain.
Somewhat worryingly, 'Wannacry2' has been identified 'in the wild' that has no such kill switch.
The threat remains.
Lessons to be learned:
Ensure your key data files are backed up onto a separate device, or in 'the cloud' – if your machine is encrypted by malware (and I know people who've fallen foul of ransomware in the past) then you should be able to restore from data from backups, once a new, supported, operating system is installed.
Ensure your operating systems are still actively supported. Support for Windows XP ceased in April 2014 and Windows Vista last month (April 2017)
Ensure that you install all security patches promptly. One organisation we work with insists that all its PCs are left powered on overnight every Tuesday night for operating system upgrades, and security patches are rolled across the network as soon as they arrive.
And, of course, never open emails from unexpected sources, and research any links before clicking on them.

I Hate Valentine's Day: Reasons Why 6 Real People Stopped Celebrating
Hate Valentine's Day? You're not the only one.
Danielle Campoamor
— Updated
At the risk of angering my younger self — who fancied herself "hard," what with her love for heavy metal and affinity for whiskey — I must admit that I am a sucker for all things romantic. Put on You've Got Mail and pour me a glass of wine, and I'll be sobbing into the sleeve of my "Bakers Wanna Bake" sweatshirt like the sucker I am. But my dirty little rom-com-loving secret cannot erase one undeniable truth: I hate Valentine's Day. Hate it.
The forced public displays of affection? The pink-and-red-themed, drastically overpriced three-course meals? The pressure to smooth over the jagged edges of your relationship for one day (because, yes, there isn't a romantic partnership that isn't imperfect)? Yeah, hard pass. I'll gladly soak up unrealistic storylines about two rivals-turned-lovers because it's fiction (and, I mean, at its core, You've Got Mail is a story about catfishing but we love it! It's entertainment!). But applying these rom-com style displays of love, admiration, and borderline-creepy lust in real life? I don't think so.
Here's how many of us hate Valentine's Day.
My hate for all things cupid-related isn't uncommon, either. In 2017, Elite Daily surveyed 415 men and women, ages 18 to 35, and found that 28 percent of women and 16 percent of men "think Valentine's Day is an excuse for people to humble brag about their relationships." The same survey found that 35 percent of men and 28 percent of women feel apathetic about the holiday. And, of course, there are those of us who simply despise it, including these six people who spoke to O.school about their disdain for the so-called "most romantic day of the year." Turns out, there are plenty of reasons to tell Cupid to go, well, you-know-what himself.
1. The pressure of showing up for your partner on one specific day of the year.
"I'm a sucker for anything cute or romantic, so for most of my life, I really loved Valentine's Day. (If I had a valentine, that is. Otherwise, it was sh*t). The older I've become, though, the more I notice the downfalls of Valentine's Day. The pressure of showing up for your partner for one specific day in this huge showy way, and the idea that if you don't have a valentine, something is missing from your life? I don't know, just sounds like a hoax to me. So I wouldn't say my partner and I avoid Valentine's Day, but like any other sane person in their 30s, we avoid going out on any holiday (because crowds and upcharged "special meals").
This year, February 14 happens to fall on our weekly date night, so we will likely do what we do every Friday: make our way through a few bottles of wine while listening to music, dancing in our kitchen, and making some super delicious vegan food." - Rebecca, 30
2. It was inspired by a holiday where men would beat women to help their fertility.
"I have a love-hate relationship with Valentine's Day, but I mostly hate it and what it means to a lot of couples. I don't celebrate [the holiday] and avoid going out on the day/on the weekend after, for a lot of reasons.
First, Valentine's Day is a capitalistic holiday, meaning people think expensive gifts or dinners are proof of love or a healthy relationship.
Second, it was inspired by a Roman holiday where men would beat women to help their fertility.
Third, social media has generally created a sh*t show for relationships. It's no secret that social media often only shows the positive parts of someone's life, and the same goes for their relationships. Holidays like Valentine's Day then become a sort of social media performance where people feel better or worse about themselves or their relationships by posting photos from the day or from seeing other people's photos.
Fourth, holidays like Valentine's Day are strange to me because you should do and say nice things for your partner year round. What is so different about going out to dinner on Valentine's Day (when most restaurants charge more, might I add) than any other day of the year? Relationships are about so much more than grand gestures or gifts, and all of that is left out of Valentine's Day. Healthy relationships require regular communication, meeting needs, fostering individuality outside of the relationship — this is the kind of stuff I wish people would discuss more on Valentine's Day. If it became a holiday about recognizing healthy/unhealthy relationships, I'd be all for it. - Jo, 27
3. It's horrible for service-industry workers.
"It took some time to convince [my partner] that I really didn't want to celebrate Valentine's Day. It's just a Hallmark holiday to me and, for a while, we were both working in the service industry, so it's not like it was easy or worth it to get the night off. And what most people would probably do on Valentine's Day (love letters, flowers, small gifts, etc.), we do throughout the year for each other when we feel like it, not because of an over-commercialized day of the year." - Maxine, 24
4. Everything is so overpriced.
"I love the idea of a day designated to celebrate your loved ones — family, friendships, romantic partnerships. But every time I'm in the grocery store the day before or morning of Valentine's Day, I see men in the card aisle, grabbing overpriced roses, armed with a box of chocolates that will go 50 percent uneaten, and it just makes me sad. I hate how commercialized it's become; how it became a competition of which woman can post the best Instagram photo of the superfluous, meaningless shit her man got for her. It feels like a day that was supposed to be about intimacy has become another vessel for couples to get social media validation for how great their relationship is. And, if it were really that great, wouldn't the social media validation not be needed?" - Cameron, 28
5. Otherwise terrible partners just feel obligated.
"I don't celebrate because it's a day that terrible boyfriends/husbands/partners feel obligated to do something for their significant other — not because they [actually] want to, but because 'everybody's doing it.'
Five years ago, I started dating someone who had a child. and we made up a special game for her that ends with a present. We stay home, have dinner, and play more games together, like any other normal night. Throughout the year, we will do random date nights with each other or with her child and show each other love, just because that's what we do. Not because society is forcing it." - Jenna, 29
6. It calls out single people.
"I hate Valentines Day. [One of my] major objections is what it does to single people. It is not cool to out someone as single at work by putting them on the spot and asking them what they're doing for Valentines Day, and no one should feel like there's a day of the year where they have to be coupled. Being single isn't something to be ashamed of, but the choreography of V-Day is for couples only, and that shames single people.
I also have practical objections. It is super inconvenient to have to do this on the same day as everyone else. Reservations are harder to get than normal, diners seem stressed and put on the spot, the waitstaff is overworked and would rather be somewhere else." - Nina, 32
And hey, if you do love Valentine's Day, that's cool too. After all, it's just day. Regardless of how you feel about it in the end, at least there's half-off Valentine's Day candy for sale at the store on February 15th.

Discurso do Presidente da Ucrânia na Cimeira sobre Desenvolvimento Sustentável durante a Assembleia Geral da ONU (em inglês)
29 setembro 2015 00:23
Dear Co-Chairs,
Distinguished Colleagues,
On behalf of Ukraine, I express full support for a new United Nations Development Agenda.
I would like to remind that back in 1992, Ukraine took part in the historic UN Summit in Rio de Janeiro where it testified its will to shape the future on the basis of principles of sustainable development.
For 23 year that have passed since then, we have accumulated extensive positive experience and at the same time tasted the bitterness of defeat as proponents of war and terrorism have been resisting fiercely to progress in many parts of the world.
The far-reaching Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and targets, which we declare at today's historic Summit, open up new horizons for humanity and lay down the foundations for sustainable development of our planet for the next fifteen years.
We commend transparency and inclusiveness of the preparatory process that culminated in the Post-2015 Development Framework. More than 25 thousand Ukrainians took part in the global consultations, having expressed their own vision of the SDGs.
Working hard to achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), which were set up fifteen years ago, our countries have considerably changed lives of millions of people worldwide.
As for Ukraine, I would like to emphasize that we have managed:
to reduce threefold the poverty rates – yet, due to the Russian aggression, we expect this rate to drop,
to improve the maternal health system,
to almost halve child mortality,
to reduce HIV/AIDS incidence rates,
to make progress in combating tuberculosis.
We keep on working to fulfill our commitments on MDGs related to improving the quality of education, promoting gender equality, and ensuring environmental sustainability.
I am convinced that we have to build on the momentum generated by the MDGs to make further progress in the priority areas set out in the Post-2015 Development Agenda.
There will be no sustainable development without peace and freedom.
Ukraine's bitter experience reveals that peace and freedom are principal pre-conditions for achieving the SDGs. Sustainable development is not achievable where explosions are heard and peaceful people are killed. It is not achievable where aggressive ideologies advocating suppression of some nations by other nations reign and key human rights and freedoms are violated.
Strengthening universal peace and promoting larger freedom should become a driving and unifying force behind our collective efforts towards achieving the SDGs.
Today Ukraine has to implement so much needed systemic reforms while opposing the Russian aggressor that tries to undermine the democratic European development the Ukrainian people have chosen.
As a result of Russia's treacherous annexation of the Ukrainian Crimea and its aggression in the Ukrainian Donbas region, thousands of people have been killed.
Critical infrastructure has been ruined; Ukraine has lost about one fifth of its economic potential.
Russia's military actions against Ukraine have also increased environmental and epidemiological threats, as well as the risks of the social exclusion.
Chemical sites in the conflict area in the eastern part of Ukraine and in the adjacent territories represent a particular danger.
Threats of the potential man-made technological catastrophes are awful.
In this context, Ukraine believes that it is high time for the United Nations to address the issue of protection of environment in conflicts and it will present specific ideas to this end.
The external aggression has led to the emergence of a new form of poverty – sudden or unexpected poverty – that affects lives of about 1.5 million of internally displaced persons in Ukraine. Each day of the war in Donbas costs us around 5 million US dollars that we could have invested into sustainable development. And the crisis with internally displaced persons, 1.5 million people, is the biggest problem not only for Ukraine, but also for the whole region.
Ukraine aspires to peace and prosperity and, together with partner states, exerts maximum efforts to settle the conflict by peaceful diplomatic means.
After putting an end to the military aggression, establishing peace and restoring Ukraine's full sovereignty over Donbas region and Crimea, it will be extremely important to bring millions of people back to a normal life, restore economic and social infrastructure on sustainable development principles.
Ukraine stands ready to accomplish this uneasy task and calls upon all international partners to cooperate towards this end.
Ukraine steadily follows the path of reforms set out in the Sustainable Development Strategy "Ukraine – 2020". Despite existing challenges, we translate our strategic tasks into tangible actions.
Against the backdrop of implementation of the Association Agreement between Ukraine and the European Union, as well as resistance to the ongoing Russian aggression, the Ukrainian society is focused today, first and foremost, on:
fighting corruption;
ensuring equal opportunities and social justice;
effective public health system;
promoting decent work;
ensuring affordable education for all;
promoting innovation development and sustainable infrastructure;
ensuring sustainable energy supply;
ensuring food security;
healthy environment.
I would like to assure all of you that to achieve the SDGs at the national level, Ukraine will implement new programs and projects which are deemed to ensure in practice macroeconomic stability, environmental balance and social cohesion.
The SDGs will serve as an overarching framework for further transformation in Ukraine, including in the context of implementation of the "Strategy – 2020".
As a responsible member of the international community, Ukraine strives to take an active part in addressing current global challenges as a prerequisite for achieving the SDGs.
In particular, in the environmental dimension we have to act vigorously to prevent threats provoked by climate change and degradation of the environment. Reaching a compromise on a balanced climate agreement would bode well for our collective efforts towards this aim.
Implementing new, expanded models of scientific and technical cooperation between UN Member States, in particular establishing a universal mechanism for technology transfer, is a key to bridging many gaps in sustainable development.
Dear participants of the Summit,
I am convinced that working hand in hand and implementing our Post-2015 Development Agenda goals, as well as jointly tackling existing challenges, we will ensure a success of the humankind on the path towards progress.

Q: Direct sums of modules versus products In my module theory course, we recently proved the following theorems:

For a fixed ring $R$ and index set $I$, let $P_i$ and $Q_i$ be $R$-modules for all $i\in I$. Then $$P=\bigoplus _{i\in I}P_i$$ is projective if and only if each $P_i$ is projective, and $$Q=\prod_{i\in I}Q_i$$ is injective if and only if each $Q_i$ is injective.

But what exactly is the product of modules in the injective case? In our course we showed that the direct sum $M\oplus N$ of two $R$-modules is both the product and coproduct (in the categorical sense), so clearly the injective case is not referring to coproducts.
I tried asking my instructor during class, wondering whether he was simply using different notation for the direct sum, but he only said that the second assertion is not true if one deals with direct sums of modules, so that rules out that theory as well.
My last idea was that it simply meant the Cartesian product in the set theoretical sense, but then what is the module structure?
So, what is the second part of the theorem referring to?

A: The definition of the product of modules in general  is that $R$ is a ring, and $M_i$, $i\in I$ are $R$-modules, then the product $M=\prod_{i\in I}M_i$ is the $R$-module of tuples $\{ (m_i)\mid m_i\in M_i\}$ with componentwise addition and "diagonal" multiplication $r.(m_i)_{i\in I}$. The direct sum $\oplus_{i\in I}M_i$ of $R$-modules $M_i$ is  defined as the submodule of the direct product consisting of all $(m_i)$ satisfying $m_i=0$ for almost all $i\in I$. In general, an infinite product is not isomorphic to an infinite sum. For example, the module $M=\prod_{i\ge 0}\mathbb{Z}$ is not free-abelian, but $N=\oplus_{i\ge 0}\mathbb{Z}$ is free-abelian.
