25.13 TRAFFICKING IN METHAQUALONE 893.135(1)(e), Fla. Stat. Certain drugs and chemical substances are by law known as "controlled substances." Methaqualone or any mixture containing methaqualone is a controlled substance. To prove the crime of Trafficking in Methaqualone, the State must prove the following four elements beyond a reasonable doubt: 1. [Name of defendant] knowingly [sold] [purchased] [manufactured] [delivered] [brought into Florida] [possessed] a certain substance. 2. The substance was ethaqualone ] [a mixture containing methaqualone]. 3. The quantity of the methaqualone involved was 200 grams or more. 4. [Name of defendant] knew that the substance was [methaqualone] [a NOTE TO JUDGE: If applicable under the facts of the case and pursuant to F.S. 893.135(2), the following bracketedshould be given instead of element 4 language above. For example, if it is alleged that the defendant intended to sell heroin but actually sold methaqualone, the alternate element 4 would be given. an ufacture] [deliver] erated controlled substance in F.S. h [bring into Florida] [possess] [an enum [brought into Florida] [possessed] methaqualone or a mixture containing [4. [Name of defendant] intended to [sel "Sell" means to transfer or deliver somthing to another person in exchange for emoney or something of value or a promise of money or something of value. "Manufacture" means the production, preparation, packaging, labeling or relabeling, propagation, compounding, cultivating, growing, conversion or processing of a controlled substance, either directly or indirectly. Manufacturing can be by extraction from substances of natural origin, or independently by means of chemical synthesis. It can also be by a combination of extraction and chemical synthesis. "Deliver" or "delivery" means the actual, constructive, or attempted transfer from one person to another of a controlled substance, whether or not there is an agency relationship. <<<<<<<<<********>>>>>>>>>>>>> 2 To "possess" means to have personal charge of or exercise the right of ownership, management or control over the thing possessed. Possession may be actual or constructive. Actual possession means (a) the thing is in the hand of or on the person, or (b) the thing is in a container in the hand of or on the person, or (c) the thing is so close as to be within ready reach and is under the control of the person. NOTE TO JUDGE: Give any of the next three paragraphs if applicable. Mere proximity to a thing is not sufficient to establish control over that thing when the thing is not in a place over which the person has control. Constructive possession means the thing is in a place over which the person has control, or in which the person has concealed it. If a thing is in a place over which the person does not have control, in order to establish constructive possession the State must prove the persons (1) control over the thing, (2) knowledge that the thing was within the persons presence, and (3) knowledge of the illicit nature of the thing. Possession may be joint, that is two or more persons may jointly have possession of an article, exercising control over it. In that case, each of those persons is considered to be in possession of that article. If a person has exclusive possession of a thing, knowledge of its presence may be inferred or assumed. If a person does not have exclusive possession of a thing, knowledge of its presence may not be inferred or assumed. The punishment provided by law for the crime of Trafficking in Methaqualone is greater depending on the amount of methaqualone involved. Therefore, if you find the defendant guilty of Trafficking in Methaqualone, you must determine by your verdict whether: a. [The quantity of the substance involved was in excess of 200 grams but less than 5 kilograms.] b. [The quantity of the substance involved was 5 kilograms or more but less than 25 kilograms.] <<<<<<<<<********>>>>>>>>>>>>> 3 c. [The quantity of the substance involved was 25 kilograms or more but less than 50 kilograms.] NOTE TO JUDGE: In 2002, the Legislature passed legislation declaring that knowledge of the illicit nature of a controlled substance was not an element under the statute but rather was an affirmative defense. This legislation was in reaction to the Florida Supreme Courts holdings in Chicone v. State, 684 So. 2d 736 (Fla. 1996) and Scott v. State, 808 So. 2d 166 (Fla. 2002), which held that a knowledge element be added to possession instructions. The jury instruction committee has not yet issued a standard jury instruction reflecting the change created by the Legislature. The instant instruction has been changed, however, to eliminate knowledge of the illicit nature of the controlled substance as an element. However, if the defendant committed the crime prior to May 13, 2002, (the effective date of the legislation), the knowledge element must be included as a fourth element. See Thomas v. State, 844 So. 2d 723 (Fla. 5th DCA 2003).

SFF Overview
The Spiritist Federation of Florida recognizes that in order to promote a stronger and better aligned spiritist movement in the state of Florida, all involved parties must become unified under the very same ideal, and also become united as brothers and sisters. At the time of Kardecian Spiritist Federation of Florida's foundation, the Spiritist Movement in the United States was still in its infancy. Today, we have many affiliated centers, with one common goal, which is the dissemination of Spiritism – united and wholesome.

Kamis, who sells trousers and headscarves in the Carsamba Market, has found himself on the wrong end of a global currency selloff sparked by Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan. Five-dollar tracksuit bottoms that cost 23 lira yesterday cost him 24.5 lira today.
Turkey's currency has dropped some 20 percent so far this year as international investors have dumped it on deepening concerns about Erdogan's drive for lower interest rates despite inflationary pressures.
The sell-off accelerated last week after he said he would take greater control of monetary policy after the June 24 presidential and parliamentary ballots.
The response from global investors has been unequivocal, driving the lira to a series of record lows.
But Erdogan may face more pressing problems at home from the reaction of voters like Kamis - particularly the pious, working class Turks who have long been his core constituency.
The most popular, and divisive politician in modern Turkish history, Erdogan has overseen tremendous economic growth in his 15 years in power but, more recently, also a deepening crackdown. The government says its security measures are necessary given threats in the aftermath of a failed coup in 2016.
A self-described "enemy of interest rates", Erdogan wants to see borrowing costs lowered to fuel credit and economic growth. Investors want substantial rate increases to tame double-digit inflation and put a floor under the lira.
On Wednesday the central bank stepped in with an emergency rate hike, though some market players doubted it would be enough to calm the lira.
With the economy having probably crested, Erdogan last month brought the election forward by more than a year.
"If the election were to be held in the middle of an economic crisis - say one year from now - then of course the situation would have looked different," said Halil Karaveli, editor of the Turkey Analyst, a policy journal.
A survey by pollsters MAK, viewed as sympathetic to the ruling party, showed on Wednesday that the parliamentary race is too close to call, with Erdogan's AK Party and its nationalist allies winning exactly 50.0 percent.
In the presidential vote, it put Erdogan at 51.4 percent.
Erdogan could face a credible challenge if the presidential vote went to a second round in July and his opponents rallied around the other remaining candidate - likely to be either Muharrem Ince, from the secular opposition, or former interior minister Meral Aksener.
Still, there was no shortage of die-hard Erdogan supporters in Carsamba Market, some echoing the government's line that Turkey's currency was being targeted by foreign powers.
"They're raising the dollar to try to take down Tayyip. They can't take him down. With God's help, no one can knock him over," said Ahmet, a salesman. Asked how he would he vote, he said: "AKP to the death".
Some 42 percent of respondents in a recent MetroPOLL survey blamed the declining lira on "games by foreign forces on Turkey". The next biggest response at 25 percent, was "the government's wrong economic policies".
Murat Gezici, who heads the Gezici polling firm, said the latest lira volatility and concerns about the economy could impact the AKP's parliamentary showing.
He reckons that roughly a third of the AKP's support comes from "disloyal voters" - centre-right voters who backed it because it delivered on economic issues.
While Erdogan made some effort to placate investors late on Wednesday, talking about the need for fiscal discipline and stability, he also said the recent lira volatility did not reflect economic realities and he would not allow "global governance types" to ruin the country.
Hinting at a conspiracy, Deputy Prime Minister Bekir Bozdag - the government's main spokesman - said a game was being played with the lira, but the Turkish people knew who was behind it.
In a deeply polarised country, such rhetoric resonates clearly among Erdogan's strongest supporters.
"Half of the country hates him... the other half adores him, and thinks he can do nothing wrong," said Soner Cagaptay, a fellow at the Washington Institute.

Q: Android: Which Method performs the "onClick" Events of the Buttons, which are defined in the XML Layouts. I'm trying to get a better understanding of the Android framework and therefore I've created a simple App, which actually consists of just one Button. Whenever this button gets clicked, a method called sendMessage in the MainActivity starts a new activity DisplayMessageActivity, which displays a random string.
My question now is, how does the onClick Event of a button (defined in the XML layout) work in particular?! I do understand, that whenever I click my button, the method, which i defined (android:onClick="sendMessage") gets called, but I'm really curious which method calls my method in the end, because there is obviously no call of my method in the syntax.
I've already decompiled my APK File to smalicode using androguard and searched for invokes of my sendMessage method. Unfortunatly i couldnt find anything.
Can anyone explain me how this mechanism functions, because according to this post:
How exactly does the android:onClick XML attribute differ from setOnClickListener?
there should actually be a method, which calls my onClick method in the end.

A: It's done by reflection.
If you want to know exactly who is calling your method, throw an Exception and have a look at the stack trace.

ACC Atlantic Division
Over on the East Coast, fans are excited and believe their conference is finally getting the respect it deserves. Of course, they do. All football teams are undefeated and all coaches have perfect records – so far. Thanks to Clemson making an undefeated run right up to the national championship game, where they played Alabama tough but came up short, ACC fans think they're finally showing their mettle. (Thank Goodness Clemson almost pulled it out, not sure I could have handled it if Bama lost). The league has become more than just Florida State and the rest. Along with some great coaches' hiring moves, it might not be too long before the Coastal Division rivals the Atlantic Division. Former Georgia Head Coach Mark Richt packed his belongings and went to Miami and Virginia Tech brought in Justin Fuente from Memphis, which was a steal. Neither coach walked into a serious vacuum of talent and hopefully it will not take long before those teams are competing for the title. Speaking of improvement, don't overlook Pittsburgh. Not saying they'll be in Charlotte for the league championship game, but it wouldn't be a stunner if they were. Just saying.
1) Florida State- Stop me if you've heard this before, Florida State is loaded with talent and just need a few adjustments to make them great. Who hasn't heard that? It's been said since the 1990's! Leading the FSU charge will be RB Dalvin Cook, he's already being mentioned in the Heisman race, the national title race, best dressed and leading the votes for homecoming king. The offensive line should be solid as they went through several different lineups last year, due to injuries and just trying to find that magic mixture of success. The Seminoles needed senior QB Sean Maguire to step up and take the leading role. He split time with Notre Dame transfer Golson last year, only that little experiment didn't pay the dividends everyone thought it was going to. But, speaking of steps, there was a bad one, Maguire broke his foot, so the QB situation is anybody's guess. The defense for the 'Noles is basically intact, maybe a bit short at linebacker, but otherwise has all the makings of a good solid "D". Three things can stop Florida State, 1) Clemson 2) Florida State. The second reason has a knack for stopping them. 3) Ole Miss. That's right FSU is taking on the boys from Mississippi in Orlando to kick start the season. If they don't get past the Rebels, and provided the Rebels get past the vindictive NCAA investigators, not sure there are enough challenges in the FSU schedule to vault them into the playoffs. But if they win, and if they keep their noses clean, work hard, and produce like they're supposed to, they'll win the Atlantic, the ACC and make a return trip to the final four.
2) Clemson- The national second place winners of 2015 are the sexy pick for winning this division and making a return trip to the national title game, and they may very well accomplish that very thing. Deshaun Watson led the Tigers to a near undefeated season and played his heart out against Bama. He has the talent, an arm, speed, and the knowledge to make the Orange and Purple, or white, or blue, or whatever Clemson's second color is, a very hard team to beat. Most of the Tiger offense will be back and all of the receivers, so be prepared to watch Clemson score a lot. The only area of concern is the defense where they lost seven starters from last year. But most people will point out that Clemson had to replace eight starters the year before and look what they did. That's a legitimate argument, but this isn't Alabama where they just plant Hydra teeth and an army springs up. They do have talent coming in but not sure its good enough to pick the Tigers first. I've been wrong before and it would not be surprising if the paw-prints make another amazing run. They begin against Auburn and that would usually be a cause for concern. Not this year. No reason they won't be favored in all the rest, except when they play Florida State, and only if FSU can get by Mississippi. Oh, yeah, there is that historical marker that I am not supposed to talk about because Dabo says it doesn't exist, but it does. Clemsonizing. They didn't do it in 2015, but there's no guarantee of it being absent in 2016. Somewhere. Sometime. Against someone.
3) Louisville– Last year Louisville had high expectations but could not overcome a young offense and a schedule that had them face their toughest games in the first half. The Cardinals were looking at a bad year when they suddenly ripped off a 6-1 run against teams that were not going to make the post season to save Louisville's season. They beat Texas A&M ( the Daughter was most unhappy about that) who had lost both their QB's to transfer before the bowl game. Tough to say if the 'Ville actually improved. But some questions were answered, like Lamar Jackson winning the QB position;- when he's healthy, that is. The rest of the offense has to replace very little, and after the bite the injury bug took from this team last year, just about everyone got playing time. No excuses for the offense not finding its identity. Believe it or not, this Bobby Petrino coached team has been led by the defense and was one of the best defenses in the ACC. They do have to replace some starters but it shouldn't be difficult for them to return to form. The defense will have to keep the team in their games until their offense comes around, but the schedule appears to be manageable, the usual Clemson and Florida State bumps notwithstanding. There's that Houston game, in Houston, at the end of the season, and that could be a booger-bear. A third place finish should be just about right.
4) North Carolina State– The Wolfpack is one of those teams that everyone would like to see do well, but seldom does. They win, and they go to bowl games, but they're stuck in eternal mediocrity. They can and will beat teams like William & Mary and Old Dominion, and even Boston College and Syracuse, but they fall when they go against Florida State, Miami , Clemson and the like. It wasn't always this way. Clemson and Florida State both hated to face the Pack because of their upset predilection. Where have all the flowers gone? Ok, every once in a blue moon they still beat a top team but they can't do it two weeks in a row. This season doesn't seem to be much different. They're breaking in a new QB, replacing three people on the O-Line and their best RB is coming off a season ending injury. So a lot of question marks for the offensive. Defensively they are young, and basically inexperienced. They'll have a tougher schedule this year, but they should still earn a bowl bid. And, somewhere, someday, against someone the old We-Can-Beat-Anyone at Carter-Findley Stadium attitude might resurface. I said all teams were undefeated and all coaches perfect at this point, didn't I?
5) Boston College– Remember that time on Chestnut Hill when the mighty USC Trojans came to town for a Thursday night game and the Eagles ran the ball all over them and pulled off a stunning upset? Everyone in Chestnut Hill remembers, and they had high hopes that Coach Addazio's system was taking root and BC was returning to the glory days! Then 2015 unraveled like a cartoon character pulling the thread of a sweater, everything just fell apart. Now its 2016, and, unlike '15, the Eagles have returning offensive linemen and they now know what not to do. The running backs, which Boston College relies upon heavily, are back from injuries and appear to be mended up and ready to play. The defense will under-go a new defensive coordinator in the form of Jim Reid. He's got his work cut out for him. The two ends that were the bedrocks of this defense have graduated and used all their eligibility. As for the schedule, they will most likely be the underdog except for when the play Wagner. Wagner, that's right. Tell me, who is Wagner favored over? So upsets need to be on the menu.
6) Wake Forest– When Dave Clawson took this job he had to have known it was going to be a long time before he could have this program built up. Should he make them into a winning machine, he'll be considered one of the greatest coaches in history, right up there with Bill Synder. After going 3-9 the past two years, there is hope that the Deacons will improve and possibly make it to six victories. They have returning QB's and the O-line, who were basically freshman last year, have earned valuable playing time. They have got to protect the QB this year, as last year they gave up 88 sacks! No wonder they were 3-9. The Defense, believe it or not, is where they have improved the most, going from dead, bottom of the barrel, last to middle of the pack in the ACC. Should the defense continue its upward climb and the offense start to improve, the schedule has enough winnable games for them. Except that game with Army, they'll fall to the Black Knights of the Hudson, as all will feel their WRATH! (did I mention that my Dad, my editor, was a graduate of the US Military Academy? We may be slightly biased. Then again, we may be raving maniacs! Yeah!)
7) Syracuse– Dino Babers inherited a good team at Bowling Green when he took over there, and he did pretty well with them. Now he's in upstate New York, (Beautiful country, lots of history) and the team he inherited is NOTHING like the winning one in Ohio. He is a believer in the no-huddle offense that relies on speed. He doesn't have that. Will this new offense work in the ACC? We'll just say it should. The Defense last year took a step back as they lost a lot to graduation, this squad has gotten that valuable lesson in what not to do, so it's a wait and see game with the Orange.

Home Breaking news Former FARC commanders announce return to arms
Former FARC commanders announce return to arms
Former peace negotiator Iván Márquez announces the 'armed struggle' will continue.

FARC leader Iván Márquez announced the return to combat of a group of key former guerrillas after accusing the government of "failing to keep its promises and failing to protect the lives of citizens."
Márquez, surrounded by about 20 former FARC members holding guns and dressed in combat fatigues, said in the video that "We were never beaten, nor defeated ideologically, which is why the struggle continues."
"When we signed the peace agreement in Havana, we did it with the conviction that it was possible to change the lives of the poor and the dispossessed," he said. "But the state has not kept its biggest promises to guarantee the lives of citizens, and particularly to prevent political assassinations."
News of this potential rupture of the 2016 Peace Agreement, which shocked Colombia today, was tempered by a follow-up announcement by FARC political chief Rodrigo Londoño that, "The large majority [of FARC] continue to be committed to the agreement, despite all the problems and difficulties, we are with peace," he told El Espectador.
Mientras haya voluntad de lucha habrá esperanza de vencer
Former president Juan Manual Santos, who brokered the historic peace agreement after a drawn-out process that started in 2013, claimed today that "90% of former FARC are still following the peace process."
Meanwhile demobilised former FARC who have taken up rafting trips Caquetá told us today that their community and tourism business were "committed to peace" and would continue preparation for an upcoming rafting competition.
Related story: Rafting with the FARC in Colombia
Despite these positive signs, the defection from the peace process by such senior figures as Márquez – who was a senior negotiator in the Havana held talks – throws considerable doubt over the fragile agreement, which has been strained in the last year by continued killings of retired combatants and social leaders particularly in areas formerly controlled by the guerrilla group.
In the video, Márquez was joined by other former commanders known as El Paisa, Romaña and Jesús Santrich, who mysteriously disappeared from his security details in Colombia two months ago. It is unclear where the video was recorded.
Márquez, whose real name is Luciano Marín Arango, said these senior figures were rejecting the agreement because of changes made by the current Duque government, and its inability to protect the lives of former combatants.

"More than 500 social leaders have been assassinated and more than 150 guerrillas have died in the middle of the indifference and inactivity of the state," he said. The fighters would now seek a peace that guarantees human rights, "a peace with food, health, water, employment, connectivity, education and democracy."
The renegades would look for support from former dissident FARC guerrillas who remained outside the peace process, and rebel group the ELN, said Marquez, standing with his fellow fighters under a banner that proclaiming "While there is a will to fight, there is a hope of winning."
At the end of the half-hour video, in which Márquez spoke of environmental as well as social issues, including the group's opposition to fracking, Santrich (aka Seuxis Paucias Hernández) lead a rallying cry of "Long live the FARC-EP."

Home > visual novel > The sequel to the best horror VN is coming out west!
The sequel to the best horror VN is coming out west!
If you haven't played Death Mark yet, you absolutely should. It's a brilliant example of horror writing and storytelling, and one of the most intelligent, atmospheric visual novels ever crafted. And now, courtesy of Aksys Games, we are going to get its sequel: NG.
NG will release in October for a wide range of platforms - PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita (yay!), Nintendo Switch and PC, and there will be physical released for both the PS4 and Switch releases. Based on the description of the game, it sounds like it will pick up exactly where its predecessor left off:
NG is the second entry in the new Spirit Hunter series, and the companion story to last year's award-winning sound novel, Death Mark. NG follows the story of a young man on a life-threatening quest to discover who - or what - is responsible for the disappearance of his little sister. To save her, our protagonist must team up with shady characters, face down spirits of legend, and make difficult decisions that can greatly alter the outcome of the game. Can you save your sister and stop evil from destroying all that you hold dear? Or will you find yourself just another victim of an angry spirit?
Mechanically, it promises to be the same experience too, being a blend of traditional VN, and dungeon crawling-like exploration sequences. You'll come up against bosses and then need to use a combination of items that you collect along the way to defeat them.
What will be interesting to see is whether the developer, Experience Inc, is able to continue the thematic tone of Death Mark. That game's was notable for the way it completely indulged in the fetish side of horror, with some highly sexualised imagery to go with the nightmare. Hopefully this one continues in kind, because that was a fascinatingly distinct thing for a horror game to do. Most horror games rely on grotesque monsters to convey a sense of fear. Not eroticism, even though in every other art form, horror and eroticism are common thematic allies.


Some books have got a great idea behind it and a promising start, but still fall short. For me, Coin Heist was one of such cases.
This may be a light read that one can go through very quickly, especially if one does not think much while reading it, but it also isn't that memorable. It used a number of clichés in a predictable way and, even though it's a book where the characters are said to be in constant danger of being sent off to prison, I never worried about them. Because that's the thing, we are told this is something huge. But is the danger shown? Not really. It seemed like they had it too easy.
As for the writing, I've got a bit of a love/hate relationship with it. The story is told in the first person from the view points of the four main characters, all of which are easy enough to distinguish, which is obviously good. Until, of course, one notices Alice's chapters stands out too much in terms of language - she is the only one who will insert jargon in her speech. So this made me wonder: if Alice can describe relationships using mathematics, then why can't the group's athlete speak of events with sports terms? Or the musician pay close attention to the sounds they encounter? Why is only one character constantly equating her life to her passions if the others are supposed to adore their hobbies? I don't know if there is a reason for this or if the author let it slip, but it was bothering. The rest of the writing was fairly alright, even if it did lack suspense greatly.
Another issue I took lay with the fact that although all characters have problematic lives, none of their personal issues was resolved. I dare say they were not even properly tackled, only mentioned. One would expect that this YA novel would at least speak more of one character's bulimia, which is only mentioned of a couple of times in passing. Seeing as plenty teenagers, the book's intended audience, suffer from eating disorders, one would hope it would be given the right treatment. Instead, it was as important as one's favourite colour. There was too much focus on the planning of the heist (which is the majority of the book) and too little of everything else.
Sadly, all of this makes the Coin Heist feel flatter and flatter by the page, even if it is a very easy read. It's not challenging in the slightest. It's predictable both in character, action, and consequences, so you don't need to think much of what is happening or wonder what will happen. In short, if you want to fill a couple of hours with mind-numbing entertainment, this book could do the trick. If you're looking for something more fulfilling, I'd recommend looking elsewhere.

In Part I of this paper, a class of multicarrier systems was proposed to study the effect of the method of diversity allocation on the performance of coherent multiuser communication systems operating over fading channels. In this part of the paper, optimization over the proposed class of systems is considered for a fixed number of users per unit bandwidth. The first case studied is a system where the only noise not attributable to users in the system is additive white Gaussian noise. It is observed that either a system employing exclusive allocation, where users are allocated time-bandwidth resources that are not simultaneously shared with other users, or a system employing maximum resource sharing, where all users simultaneously share time-bandwidth resources, is optimal. Next, the preferable of these two extreme forms of resource allocation is determined. For any reasonable signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and user density, it is shown that the system employing exclusive resource allocation is optimal in a single-cell environment with perfect subchannel separation at the receiver. Finally, the optimization is repeated in the presence of partial-band interference (PBI). Once again, either a system employing exclusive resource allocation or a system employing a maximum resource sharing scheme is observed to be optimal. The presence of the PBI increases the range of user densities and SNR's where a system employing a maximum resource sharing scheme is optimal, particularly when the probability of a particular time-bandwidth slot experiencing interference is high.

Joan Holub (1956-)
Author and illustrator Joan Holub is both prolific and multi-talented. Her numerous credits include fiction and nonfiction, as an author, an illustrator, or sometimes both. Among Holub's nonfiction works are the "Why Do . . . ?" series, which includes Why Do Cats Meow?, Why Do Dogs Bark?, Why Do Horses Neigh?, and several other titles. These books give children useful information about their respective animals in a simple, easy-to-read format, with "a winning combination of tightly written narrative [and] age-appropriate vocabulary," Pamela K. Bomboy wrote in a School Library Journal review of Why Do Horses Neigh? and Why Do Rabbits Hop?: And Other Questions about Rabbits, Guinea Pigs, Hamsters, and Gerbils. The books use a question-and-answer format, with queries such as "Is a pony a horse?" and "Are horses smart?" Holub works into the text "some surprising facts that children will enjoy, such as the fact that horses sleep only three hours per day," noted a Kirkus Reviews contributor in a review of Why Do Horses Neigh?
As an illustrator, Holub contributed to Breakout at the Bug Lab by Ruth Horowitz. The narrator and his little brother accidentally let loose a Madagascar cockroach, a giant hissing bug, in their mother's environmental entomology lab, but with a little help, they successfully recapture him before anything too bad happens. Holub's "curved lines soften the story, forming a comforting cocoon that may just tempt the audience to try out their own reading feelers," a reviewer wrote in Horn Book. Leslie S. Hilverding, writing in School Library Journal, thought that the pictures "have a warm, fuzzy, feel-good look," going on to call Breakout at the Bug Lab "a book in which everything is just right."
As an author, Holub has added many books to Viking's "Easy-to-Read" series, including The Garden That We Grew, The Pizza That We Made, and Scat, Cats! "With its easy vocabulary and rhyming verse," Scat, Cats!, a story about a boy and a girl who rid their house of several mischievous felines but then invite them back in, "is well suited for beginning readers," Louie Lahana wrote in School Library Journal. In a starred review, a Kirkus Reviews contributor called it "a model for the genre: a funny, satisfying story with solid educational underpinnings." In another starred review, The Garden That We Grew was praised by a Horn Book critic, who commented that this story about children raising pumpkins has "the necessary qualities of a beginning reader—simplicity, repetition, predictability, and pictorial cues."
As an author-illustrator, Holub has created many board books and novelty books, including Somebunny Loves Me and Eek-a-Boo! A Spooky Lift-the-Flap Book. Another of these works, Boo Who? A Spooky Lift-the-Flap Book, was considered "an engaging book for youngsters" by School Library Journal critic Debra Gold. Gold went on call Boo Who? "a wonderful one-on-one choice."
Holub told SATA: "In 1989, I left a lucrative job in Texas and moved to New York because I wanted to work in the children's book field. New York City was exciting and my new job in the book design department at Scholastic was a great learning experience.
"When I left Scholastic, I began freelancing as an illustrator full time. Because of my art background, I'd always primarily focused on art rather than the stories in children's books. But once I began reading children's books, I wanted to write them. It took a lot of reading and about five years before I sold my first book manuscript. Then I sold three manuscripts in three months. In the years since then, I've written and/or illustrated board books, novelty books, easy-to-reads, chapter books, and middle-grade nonfiction. Some people ask why I write so many different kinds of books. My answer is that I write the ideas that come to me. Ideas are easy to come by. The real work is turning an idea into a satisfying book that works from beginning to end.
"I sometimes begin a book with a title. That may be a result of having worked in design/advertising where I watched the copywriters come up with product names or ad headlines. If I think of a phrase that seems funny or striking in some way, I write it down. I keep thinking about it until a story begins to form. Some of my books that began with a title are The Halloween Queen, The Garden That We Grew, and I Have a Weird Brother Who Digested a Fly. Books where the title came after the book was written include Why Do Cats Meow?, Riddle-iculous Math, and Yankee Doodle Riddles: American History Fun.
"My illustration style changes in response to the needs of each book I illustrate. Some examples of the evolution of my style can be seen in 100th Day of School (pencil and watercolor), Boo Hoo? (ink and watercolor), and Somebunny Loves Me (gouache and acrylic). My illustrations can be seen at my Web site."
Describing her early years and how she eventually fell in love with books, Holub continued to SATA: "I loved elementary school and made good grades. English and math were my favorite subjects. My family moved every few years because of my father's job with an oil company. Sometimes it took a while to make new friends because I was shy. (I grew out of it.) I stayed inside a lot, sat at my desk, and drew or read. My family didn't own many books, but my mom took my brother, sister, and me to the public library regularly. She enjoyed and valued books and reading, and through her, I learned to love books."

Tesla Model 3: Elon Musk Shares Cool Shipping Timelapse With 'Dune' Quote
7.4.2018 11:15 AM
The Tesla Model 3 is shipping out at high speed. On Tuesday, CEO Elon Musk shared an impressive 45-second timelapse that shows the incredible progress the company is making to get its $35,000 electric vehicle out to consumers as fast as possible — complete with a quote from one of Musk's best-loved sci-fi novels.
The video shows the outbound logistics lot at the Fremont, California plant on the week of June 24th. The plant has become the focal point of Tesla's efforts to expand production of its cheapest ever car ever since it entered manufacturing 12 months ago. Musk recently revealed that the company managed to produce 7,000 vehicles in just seven days at the end of last month, a rapid expansion from the 2,000 per week it produced at the start of April. Musk shared the video with the caption "The Spice Flows," a reference to 1965 novel Dune.
Tesla has been working hard to get the Model 3 out to consumers. It's built a tent over the space of two weeks dubbed "General Assembly 4," while the company tells Inverse its state-of-the-art third assembly line uses an in-house alignment system that the company claims is more advanced than other automakers.
Musk has a habit of peppering sci-fi references into Tesla's materials. Recent vehicles include a "Ludicrous Mode" that activates a performance-focused set of configurations, a reference to '80s comedy spoof Spaceballs. The second-generation Roadster, set to hit the roads in 2020, contains a "Plaid Mode," a reference to the same film, that serves as a step above "Ludicrous."
All eyes are on Tesla's next shipping report, where it will reveal whether it can sustain the momentum from this rapid expansion in production. Musk teased last month that the next report will "explode" the position of Wall Street short sellers.
Expansion is just one step on Musk's journey to claim a reward package worth a staggering $2.6 billion.


A lightly sweetened risotto loaded with apples and dried cherries. A delightful way to start the day, and it's ready in under 15 minutes when you make it in the pressure cooker.
Kalyn, Kalyn's Kitchen, also blogs at Slow Cooker from Scratch. She recently posted a recipe roundup – 20 Delicious Slow Cooker Breakfast Recipes from Food Bloggers. All 20 recipes looked delicious, but it was the Crockpot Breakfast Risotto from A Year of Slow Cooking that I decided I wanted to try first.
An Instant Pot is one of the most popular brands of electric pressure cookers. They are easy to use and your Instant Pot can help you create this delicious Apple Cherry Breakfast Risotto!
Slow cooker recipes are generally easy to convert to pressure cooker recipes. Making risotto in the pressure cooker is so much easier than on the stove top, and it's still creamy and delicious. I used 1% milk so it would be lower in fat and calories, but you could certainly stir in a little cream after it was cooked to make it ever more creamy and delicious.
I knew I'd love having risotto for breakfast, but I was a little unsure how my family would react. I'm happy to report that everyone liked it and most, including me, helped themselves to seconds.
Heat the butter in the pressure cooker pot for 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the rice and cook, stirring frequently, until rice becomes opaque, about 3 to 4 minutes.
Add the apples, spices, and brown sugar. Stir in the juice and milk. Select High Pressure and 6 minutes cook time. After 6 minutes, turn off pressure cooker and use a quick pressure release. Carefully remove pressure cooker lid and stir in dried cherries.
Serve topped with additional brown sugar, sliced almonds and a splash of milk.
This turned out really well, even when I substituted almond milk for the regular. So decadent it ought to be dessert!
So great to hear – thanks Megan! Not a lot of people try this one, but I love it too.
This looks delicious Barbara. I haven't mustered the nerve to try cooking rice in my stove top pressure cooker yet. This just may be the recipe that pushes me to do it. That's my kind of breakfast!
I knew you would be able to make this in the pressure cooker and it looks fantastic! And thanks for the shout-out for Slow Cooker from Scratch; always appreciated!

Onderdonk, Robert Jenkins
Onderdonk, Robert Jenkins (1852–1917)
By: Diana Church
Robert Jenkins Onderdonk, artist and art teacher, was born on January 16, 1852, at St. Timothy's Hall, Catonsville, Maryland, the son of Henry and Harriet (Stevenson) Onderdonk. He studied in New York at the National Academy of Design and the Art Students' League in the early 1870s. His professors were Lemuel Everett Wilmarth, Walter Shirlaw, William Merritt Chase, and James Carrol Beckwith. George Inness, Jr., John Henry Twachtman, and Frederick Stuart Church were among his fellow students. The poetic realism popular at that time characterized Onderdonk's mature style. He painted still-life, landscape, and genre works with a dark but airy tonality reminiscent of his more famous fellow students. His portraits varied in quality from stark photographic realism to hazy idealized images. He came to Texas in 1879, reportedly to paint portraits of prominent citizens so he could save enough money in a year's time to study art in Europe. But wealthy San Antonio citizens preferred well-known European artists, so Onderdonk began teaching art classes. He married his neighbor Emily Gould on April 27, 1881. She was an amateur artist and may have attended his classes. They had three children.
In 1889 Onderdonk moved to Dallas to paint family portraits for the Hulbert Portrait Company. He also opened an art school at 721 Elm Street, where he taught drawing and painting from still life, casts, and live models. He also painted on commission. His family joined him in Dallas in 1890. On February 15, 1893, he signed a contract with the Art Students' League of Dallas, the first community art organization in the city. The league had thirty students enrolled for its first classes, held at the North Texas National Bank Building. In the fall Onderdonk's pupils displayed their pastel, watercolor, and oil paintings at the State Fair of Texas. They exhibited annually at each State Fair. In 1893 Onderdonk himself won a premium award for an oil painting, a prize for a watercolor painting, and two gold medals from the State Fair of Texas. If he had remained in Dallas for a number of years he might have had a greater influence on the development of art in the growing city. However, with the illness of her father, Nathan H. Gould, Emily and the children returned to San Antonio in February 1894. Onderdonk finished his contract with the Art Students' League of Dallas in July of 1895 and returned to San Antonio.
In 1898–99 he worked as a commercial china painter in St. Louis. He returned to Texas in 1899 to serve as a judge in the art department of the State Fair. By 1900 he was back in San Antonio with his family, teaching and painting. Despite at least one major commission, The Fall of the Alamo (1901), his major impact on the community remained that of a teacher and popularizer of art. He participated in the founding of several art-related organizations, including the Fifty-two Club in 1908 and the Brass Mug Club and the San Antonio Art League in 1912. His works are in the collections of the Witte Museum, the Stark Museum of Art, the Dallas Museum of Art, and the Texas State Library. Two of his children, Julian and Eleanor Onderdonk, also became well known in Texas art. Onderdonk died on July 2, 1917, in San Antonio.

Overview: There are some games that just hook you, and keep you up late wondering about characters' lives, loves, hopes and fears. What's the secret to creating compelling narratives that will encourage emotional attachment among your audience? How do you get your players to come along for the ride, and care about characters' fate? Pulling from experience working on The Walking Dead: Seasons 1 & 2, and co-creating Tales from the Borderlands, this session will dive deeper into the lessons learned (and mistakes made) creating fully realized characters and compelling stories around them.


Researchers measured neural activity associated with the will to fight and die defending sacred values, as well as the effects social exclusion on this activity. Image: Shutterstock.
Sacred values are those perceived as non-negotiable, those which must be upheld at all costs. They also contain an identity component related to perceiving the person as a member of their reference group.
The study, published in Frontiers in Psychology, examined the neural substrate of sacred values in relation to ideological adherence, as well as those related to religious or national/group identity. This neural activity associated with the will to fight and die defending sacred values, as well as the effects social exclusion has over this activity, occurs in the left inferior frontal gyrus, a region previously associated with sacred values and rule retrieval.
The study used neuroimaging to confirm the relationship between this region of the brain with the will to fight and die for these values. "Alongside other studies, these findings suggest that sacred values are processed through an ethical reasoning based on duty or 'what must be done," and not an evaluation of costs and benefits, while nonsacred values are more flexible and subject to negotiation," says research coordinator and UAB and IMIM researcher Òscar Vilarroya.
The study also shows how social exclusion, manipulated through an online toss ball game, had notable effects at both neural and behavioral levels. By comparing a sub-group subject to social exclusion with a control sub-group, researchers were able to confirm an increase in willingness to fight and die for values considered nonsacred before the social exclusion occurred, as well as a parallel increase in the activity within the brain region examined.
Related: Do violent communities foster violent children?
Until now, only one neuroimaging study with university students from the United States had identified neural activity associated with sacred values in the left inferior frontal gyrus.
This study is the first to find this activity among individuals vulnerable to radicalization and it is also the first to demonstrate the effects social exclusion have on identified brain activity.
"The study was conducted with a group of young Moroccan men, but the results could be applied to any other group of young men vulnerable to be radicalized," Vilarroya points out.
"The results could serve when dealing with groups upholding sacred values, given that knowing about these values and managing them as something not subject to material incentives can help to make an approach effective," Pretus highlights.
The study was conducted in two distinct phases. The first phase consisted in extensive fieldwork with surveys conducted with over 500 young Moroccan men in Barcelona and surrounding areas with the aim of detecting those with greater vulnerability for radicalization. Vulnerability was considered to exist among those who expressed willingness to defend the sacred values promoted by jihadist terrorist groups, either by engaging in violent protest and actions, financially supporting nonstate militant groups, joining a nonstate militant group, or fighting and dying on their own. The 38 participants who met this criteria and were interested in participating in the study while maintaining their anonymity were invited to a neuroimaging session. At the beginning of the session, they were asked to name the values considered sacred by jihadists and the degree to which they were willing to fight and die defending them.
Participants were later divided into two sub-groups and assigned to one of two different versions of the online game Cyberball: one under the condition of social exclusion and the other as part of the control group. In this online exclusion game, participants pass the ball to three virtual players, who were given typical local names: Dani, Javi and José. In the exclusion version, these three players pass the ball to the participant only twice right at the beginning of the game. In the control group, the three players pass the ball to the participant with the same frequency as they do the rest of players.
At the end of the game, the neural activity of all participants was measured using a magnetic resonance imaging scanner while they responded about their willingness to fight and die to defend one of their sacred or nonsacred values mentioned at the beginning of the session.

Faculty member Ken Carpenter hosts virtual book presentation
Author promotes 'Borderlands Boy: Love, War and Peace in the Atomic Age'
Categories: Inside UNM Faculty News
Former University of New Mexico administrator and current adjunct faculty member, Ken Carpenter hosts a virtual book presentation of his recently published memoir "Borderlands Boy: Love, War and Peace in the Atomic Age" in a Zoom event on June 28 at 3 p.m.
Tying into Pride Month, the lyrical, moving and intensely personal coming-of-age memoir is also a coming out story of a gay boy from a conservative family growing up in the U.S. Southwest during an era of political, social and cultural transformation. It is also an extended reflection on the importance of place, time, history and geography in shaping who people become.
In post-World War II America, many factors are threatening to tear the country apart including the specter of nuclear destruction, environmental crises, challenges to racism and women's inequality, the Vietnam War and the sexual revolution. Already struggling with what it means to be different and what kind of man to become, the author faces the ultimate moral test of courage and conscience when he graduates from college and is drafted to fight in Vietnam. The book follows him through his journey to survive, find love and find a purpose for life.
Carpenter was born in New Mexico, raised in Colorado and lived most of his life in the Southwest. As a student at Colorado State University during the 1960s, he studied history and became active in local civil rights and anti-war efforts. He resisted being drafted to fight in Vietnam and served time in federal prison.
On release, he earned a master's degree at the University of Texas, worked for LGBT rights and was a full-time peace and human rights advocate in the U.S. and Latin America. Carpenter earned a Ph.D. at the University of Oregon and became a college teacher and administrator specializing in international education.
Carpenter met Greg Calvert, formerly a radical leader of Students for a Democratic Society that began a relationship that lasted for 30 years. The two set up and ran an educational exchange program and school for children in Granada, Nicaragua. Now retired from the University of New Mexico, Carpenter lives in Albuquerque teaching and mentoring students part-time.

Overlooking South Australia's Old Parliament House and the Adelaide Festival Centre, the Casino Grill is a haven for lovers of sophisticated, a la carte dining. The extensive menu features modern and traditional versions of grilled meats, poultry and seafood. We're proud to offer only the best South Australian fresh produce. Sweet tooths won't be able to go past the dessert menu with tempting treats and spectacular chef specialties. Combine this with an extensive wine list featuring some of South Australia's best wines, and you've got a night to remember.
I've been three or four times to the Casino Grill and am always impressed. Located on the top floor of the Casino on North Terrace, this restaurant is next to the Pullman Grill. There is an open kitchen so you can watch the chefs at work. We usually go here before a play at the Adelaide Festival Centre. I always let them know when I make the reservation. So far they have always ensured we were out the door half an hour before the play started. Service here is generally first-class. We hardly ever have to ask for our water to be topped up. The place looks first-class too, it is very elegantly furnished. I've only ever had one main - the Barossa corn-fed chicken supreme pocketed with three cheeses and herb farce. It was a lucky pick the first time we went there and I've never felt the need to try anything different - it's that good! And I always have the espresso ice cream cones for dessert. Anyone overhearing us during the meal would think we had discovered the best thing since sliced bread, lots of appreciative oohs and aahs! Definitely recommended for a intimate dinner. Five stars.

Q: C++ can I initialize member variable based on a just initialized another member variable? If I initialize member variable a, can I immediately read the value of a to initialize b?
Is this guaranteed by C++(11) specifications to work always with all compilers?
Is there any side effect?
E.g:
class X {
   public:
   int a;
   int b;
   X() : a(1), b(a+1) {}
};
