President Hitler signed a shockingly similar bill with similar tactics used to get it signed….threats, harassment, false promises, intimidation, invented crises. Gee….did Obama take lessons from Hitler? He certainly proudly taught ACORN workers from Saul Alinsky's book, Rules for Radicals, so why not go back to the original power crazed, crowd manipulator and evil visionary? On that fateful day, March 23rd Hitler signed into law the National Law for Removing the Distress of the People bill. It was also called Hitler's Enabling Act.
I talked with Steve Eichler of faxdc.com this week on air about these two dates and the horrifying similarities of the two events in history. Steve and I probed whether we were indeed reliving history. We both studied the events of 1933 and 2010 and said a big fat yes!
Issa said the move may have violated anti-bribery provisions of the federal criminal code as well as prohibitions on government officials interfering in elections and using federal jobs for a political purpose. Violation of each provision is punishable by up to one year in jail….
One of the reasons a lot of Americans find Obama oddly foreign is that he had an oddly foreign childhood: his formative years were spent in Indonesia….
What's this got to do with Britain, or indeed with Europe? Plenty. Obama is the first US president who was raised without cultural or emotional or intellectual ties to either Britain or Europe. The British and the Europeans have been so enchanted with 'America's first black president' that they haven't been able to see what he really is: America's first Third World president….
Here is what is happening, though the British Government seems oblivious of it. The Obama administration is ready to dump the Old World in pursuit of the One World.
Britain is being dumped. The special relationship, whatever is left of it, is over. Britain losing control of the Falklands to Argentina would just be collateral damage.
But France is being dumped, too. Obama's ostentatious refusal to have dinner with President Sarkozy during his visit to France last year was no accident. Rather than meet the French president, Obama went off to a restaurant with his wife Michelle.
Germany is being dumped. Obama has been little more than dismissive of Chancellor Merkel. Russia in turn will be waved aside.
Most spectacularly of all, the European Union has now been comprehensively dumped. The American president has refused to attend what is supposed to be a US-EU Madrid summit in May.
What we have shaping up, but what the British Government doesn't yet grasp, is that Obama has a conscious policy of down-grading America's relationship with, first, Britain and then with the rest of Europe.
He believes that the US — yes, his own country — and Britain, and the leading European countries, too, for that matter, are imperial powers who ruthlessly exploited the Third World for their own profit.
And Obama is America's first Third World president….
What's going on? According to Dr Lucier, Obama's policy is to disestablish the United States, Great Britain and Europe from the hegemony of world power, and elevate in their place the hegemony of the Third World under international governance….
His vision is for the US to abandon its Constitution and its laws, which are tied to Britain, the country for which he has shown such disdain.
The current administration, challenged by the president to be the most open, is now denying more Freedom of Information Act requests than Bush did.
One of the exemptions allowed to deny Freedom of Information requests has been used by the Obama administration 70,779 times in its first year; the same exemption was used 47,395 times in Bush's final budget year.
…It was said, after the actions on December 25th by Mr. Mutallab, that this process would have been the only way to have detected the particular technique of terror the young Nigerian was attempting to import into America. Then along comes the perpetually zany Council of American-Islamic Relations. In its infinite wisdom, this group disclosed their intention to sue the United States of America to prevent the aforementioned body scanner from being used on Muslim men and women….
Idaho has set the example for others states to follow in the continuing revolt against naked body scanners, by passing a law that limits the use of the x-ray scanning devices in airports and government buildings and also forces Homeland Security to disprove health concerns.


Please note: this post originally appeared on the Well-Typed blog.
As part of our consulting work for IOHK, Well-Typed have been working with IOHK on the design and implementation of the new version of the Cardano cryptocurrency wallet. As a crucial component of this process, we have written a semi-formal specification of the wallet: a mathematical model of the wallet along with invariants and lemmas about how it behaves.
We refer to this specification as "semi-formal" because while it states many of the wallet's properties, and proves some of them, it by no means proves all of them. As we will see, however, we can use QuickCheck to test such properties, producing counter-examples where they fail to hold. Not only is this an invaluable tool during the development of the specification itself, it also gives us a very principled way of testing the real implementation, even if later we do prove all the remaining properties as well.
In this blog post we will take a look at the specification and see how it drives the design and testing of the new wallet. We will show parts of the formal development, but only to give some idea about what it looks like; we will not really discuss any of its details. The goal of this blog post is not to describe the mathematics but rather the approach and its advantages.
Note: all figure, invariant and section numbers used in this blog post refer to version 1.1 of the specification.
Regular bank transactions transfer from and to bank accounts. For example, a transaction might transfer $100 from Alice to Bob. Transactions in cryptocurrencies such as Cardano or Bitcoin are a little different. The to part is similar, except that there might be multiple "outputs"; for example, a transaction might transfer $70 to Bob and $30 to Carol. The from part however works in quite a distinct way; transaction inputs are not accounts but other transactions. For example, let's call the transaction that transfers $70 to Bob and $30 to Carol "t1".
Now suppose Bob wants to transfer $50 to Dave. He can create a new transaction that says "take the first output of transaction t1, transfer $50 to Dave and transfer $20 back to me".
It is important that Bob transfers the $20 "change" back to himself, because a transaction output can be "spent" (that is, used as an input) only once. This style of transactions is called "UTxO" style; UTxO stands for "Unspent Transaction (Tx) Outputs".
The blockchain is basically a long list of such transactions. The corresponding formal definition looks something like this.
The cryptocurrency's wallet is a piece of software that monitors the state of the blockchain, keeps track of the user's funds (more precisely, their UTxO) and enables them to create new transactions to be included into the blockchain. The wallet is the primary means by which users interact with the blockchain. Note that the verification of these new transactions and the decision whether or not to include them into the global blockchain is not up to the wallet; how this happens is beyond the scope of this blog post.
A formal specification of the wallet is a mathematical abstraction that strips away all irrelevant detail and just focuses on the core functionality of the wallet. In the basic model of the Cardano wallet, we stripped down the wallet state to just the wallet's UTxO and its set of pending transactions; the specification is small enough to fit on a single page.
Such a model is simple enough to be studied in-depth and support mathematical proofs of its properties. Yet it is accurate enough to be an invaluable guide in the design of the wallet and be the base for unit tests that drive the real implementation. It can also be used to study where we most need to worry about performance and how we can address those concerns.
Your current balance is $1000.
There is a pending transaction of $100, so your available balance is $900.
Your UTxO balance is $1070.
There is a pending transaction t2, so your available balance is $1000.
However, transaction t2 returns $20 in change, so your total balance is $1020. Note that the change from t2 becomes available only when transaction t2 has been included into the blockchain.
Although there are user interface questions here (how should we report these different kinds of balance to the user?), from the wallet design perspective this is not yet particularly difficult. The real complexity comes from the fact that there may be temporary disagreement about which transactions are included in the blockchain (such disagreements are known as "forks"; how they arise and are resolved is again well beyond the scope of this blog post).
Let's stick to the above example, and suppose that t2 is pending, but there was disagreement about t1. After the disagreement got resolved the wallet discovers that t1 is not actually present in the blockchain after all (perhaps it will be later). The wallet's available balance is now still $1000, but would it really make sense to report its total balance as $1020? It would be strange to have the total balance be larger than the UTxO balance; not wrong per se, but confusing nonetheless.
In the specification we therefore define the concept of minimum balance: the minimum (UTxO) balance of the user "across all possible futures"; this is the only balance the user can be certain of. In the example, this is the future in which neither t1 nor t2 ever make it into the blockchain, and hence we report $1000 as the minimum balance (note that it can never happen that t2 is included but t1 is not, since t2 depends on t1). While this concept makes intuitive sense, in order to make it precise and be able to compute it we needed to introduce the concept of "expected UTxO": unspent transaction outputs that the wallet expects will become available in the future but haven't yet.
Of course, even without a formal specification it is possible that we could have come up with this concept of minimum balance and a way to compute it. But having the formal model allows us to think much more clearly about the problems, remove all the clutter that surrounds a "real" implementation of the wallet and focus only on the core ideas.
When we introduce a novel concept such as "expected UTxO" into the specification, there is a tricky question: how do we know that what we specified is right? Actually, since we introduced the concept ourselves, the question of whether it was "right" or not is not particularly meaningful. Instead we ask: is what we specified useful?
What this invariant says is that the pending transactions can only spend from the wallet's unspent outputs. Intuitively, this makes a lot of sense: the wallet should not allow the user to spend funds they don't have. As we have seen however in the previous section, this invariant does not always hold when we take disagreements about the blockchain into account! When Bob submits transaction t2, spending an output of transaction t1, and only later discovers that actually t1 should not have been included in the blockchain after all, he will have spent an output that is not in his UTxO.
In other words, pending transactions can only spend available outputs or outputs that we expect to become available (because they were previously).
After all, it would be strange to say that an output is expected if we already have it in our wallet. Stating invariants like this allows us to make our intuitions about the concepts we introduce precise, and proving them gives us strong guarantees that our specification makes sense and is internally consistent.
Formally proving invariants such as the ones discussed above can be time consuming and requires mathematical training. Naturally, doing the proofs would be ideal, but the main point of this blog post is that we push this approach a long way even if we don't. After all, we program in Haskell precisely because we can easily translate back and forth between Haskell and mathematics.
It deals with more details than the specification; for instance, it explicitly abstracts away from a specific choice of hash h, as well the types of addresses a. It is therefore a bit more complicated than the spec, but it nonetheless follows the specification very closely. In particular, it is still a model: it does not deal with any networking issues or persistent storage, may not be particularly performant, etc. In other words, this is not intended to be the design of the real wallet. Having this model is nonetheless incredibly useful, for two reasons. The first is that we can use it to test the real wallet; we will discuss that in the next section.
As for the wallet implementation, the Haskell translation of the invariants deals with more details than the spec; in this case, one of the main differences is that the infrastructure for these invariants is designed to give detailed error reports when the invariants do not hold. Nonetheless, the main part of the invariant is again a direct translation of the specification.
, dom utxo `intersection` dom expected: ..
Not only does this tell us that the invariant did not hold; it actually gives us the specific sequence of events that lead to the wallet state in which the invariant does not hold (as well as all the intermediate wallet states), and it tells what the domain of the UTxO and the expected UTxOs are in that state as well as their intersection (which should have been empty but wasn't).
As mentioned, the Haskell translation of the wallet specification is still a model which ignores a lot of the real world complexity that the full wallet implementation must deal with. Even the datatypes that the model works with are simplified versions of the real thing: transactions don't include signatures, blocks are not real blocks but just lists of transactions, etc.
We execute the model on the simplified types and translate after.
We translate first and then execute the real wallet on the translated input.
Either way, we end up with two final answers (both in terms of the real Cardano types), one executed in the model and one executed in the real wallet. We can compare these two, and if they match we can conclude that the real wallet implements the model correctly. Since we check this property at each step and we know that the invariants hold in the model at each step, we can then also conclude that the invariants hold in the real implementation at each step.
For example, when a bug in the full wallet meant that change from pending transactions was sometimes double-counted (in the case where pending transactions use the change of other pending transactions as inputs, a case that can only happen in the presence of forks), the generator will be able to find a counter-example to the above commuting diagram, and then give us the exact sequence of wallet events that leads to a wallet state in which the real wallet and the model disagree as well as the precise value that they disagree on.
Software specifications, where they exist at all, are often informal documents that describe the features that the software is intended to have in natural language. Such specifications do not lend themselves easily to verification or even testing. At the other end of the spectrum, fully formal specifications where every property is verified mathematically are costly and time consuming to produce and require specialized expertise. They are of course the golden standard, but there is also a useful middle-ground: by specifying the model and its properties formally, we can test its properties using QuickCheck. Moreover, we get a model in which we can reason about the core functionality of the application and which we can then compare against the real implementation.
IOHK's development of the new wallet is open source and can be found on GitHub. Excitingly, IOHK have recently hired someone to start work on the Coq formalization of the wallet specification, which will put the whole specification on an even stronger footing. Of course, that does not make any of the existing work useless: although it will become less important to test the invariants in the model, having the QuickCheck generators available to check the real implementation is still very valuable. Moreover, having the QuickCheck tests validate the invariants before we attempt to prove them formally can also save valuable time if we discover early that an invariant is not, in fact, true.
We ignore transaction fees for the sake of simplicity.

An Inside Look At Michelle's Pfeiffer's Beautiful 27-Year Marriage To David E. Kelley
Almost every American can recognize the stunning face of Michelle Pfeiffer. Since the late 70s, she has appeared in a variety of film genres, proving her versatility and seriousness as an actress. Pfeiffer has also been married for 27 years. Although her husband is no less successful, his face might be considerably less recognizable due to the behind-the-scenes nature of his work.
David E. Kelley is a television writer and producer that has worked on several popular law drama series such as The Practice and L.A. Law. Since his marriage to Pfeiffer in 1993, the pair have raised two children together and proved to be a lasting Hollywood couple. They have also kept their relationship relatively private. So who is Pfeiffer's mysterious husband?
Kelley was born in Waterville, Maine, and is currently 64 years old. In 1979 he graduated from Princeton University and afterward earned his J.D. at Boston University Law School. Kelley then spent some time practicing real estate and taking on minor criminal law cases. However, he soon discovered that his passions lay elsewhere.

Kelley began working on a screenplay which eventually landed in front of Steve Bochco. The script impressed the well-known TV producer, and soon after Kelley was given a job as the story-editor on L.A. Law. He went on to work on shows such as Ally McBeal and Boston Legal and made a name for himself in television.
Pfeiffer and Kelley's 27 Year Marriage
Kelley and Pfeiffer's relationship followed the divorce of her first husband, Peter Horton in 1988. Pfeiffer was only 22 at the start of this relationship with Horton. Now she has recently celebrated 27 years of marriage with Kelley. Only a few months into their relationship Pfeiffer's adoption of her daughter Claudia went through. Pfeiffer said of Kelley, "I really got to see him in a situation that certainly would separate the boys from the men. Obviously, he really rose to the occasion." A year later, the pair welcomed their son John into the world.
For much of the 2000s, Pfeiffer has been solely focused on raising her children. Now, with her children all grown up, she is re-entering the workforce. Pfeiffer is currently 62 years old and as recently as 2019 she portrayed Queen Ingrith in the film Maleficient: Mistress of Evil. Several years ago in an interview with Zap2it, she stated, "I'm always feeling that my best performance is still in me… I think it's what keeps me going." Kelley too shows no signs of slowing down in his professional career.

Krutika Desai: Who says my show is going off air?
We hear that the TV show 'Mere Angne Mein', which stars Krutika Desai and Varun Bodola in integral roles, is going off air after a run of two years. Incidentally, the ratings dipped after Ananya Khare and Ekta Kaul quit the show. However, when we contacted Krutika, she denied any such development. The actress said, "Not at all. Who is saying that my show is going off air? At least we have not been informed about it. And it is not possible because our contracts were renewed recently. So, it is not even a remote possibility that the show is going off air."
Meanwhile, our sources confirm that the show will wrap up on July 22 and 'Chakravyuh', a social drama about how women are considered only second to men in society, will replace it. The new show will feature Narayani Shastri and Sangeeta Ghosh in the lead roles.


I've got a good celeb health/fitness feature to tie in with London Marathon on 26th April.
Made In Chelsea's Oliver Proudlock is running the Marathon for British Heart Foundation and is available for interviews and photos.
There's a good angle for this - he's concerned about his health on such a strenuous event because his family have a history of heart conditions. His father, uncle have both had heart attacks, and his grandmother died from one.
So Oliver is concerned that the marathon may do him more harm than good and he is using wearable tech to make sure that his heart rate always stays within healthy boundaries and he is using a cholesterol reducing protein shake as part of his diet.
Oliver said "I am a bit concerned that given my family history of heart attacks that I might keel over before I got to the finish."

On the 29th of October, 2016, our Female CSGO team will be competing at ESWC 2016 Paris Games Week in the female Counter-Strike: Global Offensive tournament. They were one of six invited teams, along with Team-LDLC, Millenium, Team Secret, North American's CLG Red, and Brazil's More Than You.
This will be the 3rd time Reason Gaming's female CS:GO team has made it to ESWC, albeit in a strange even year gap. In 2012, the European team took 3rd place. In 2014, the French roster won the French qualifier along with the title "Champions of France", then proceeded to take 4th place in the main event. And now, in 2016, the Russian female squad will be competing again since their second place finish at SLTV Female Stars, which can be read about here.
More information on the invitation to ESWC 2016 can be read on their website, along with information about the qualifiers and other invited teams being available on their home page.

Wow! A Curse So Dark and Lonely captured me right from the get-go. Something about the formatting of the ARC I received kept crashing my e-reader, so I had to read this on my PC. Normally I hate that, as I spend enough time staring at the screen each day as it is; however, I loved this story so much, I didn't mind and did hour-long sessions at a time, unable to stop turning the page. This is a deft retelling of the beloved Beauty and the Beast tale. The world building was excellent, and the shift between our world and the fantasy realm in which Rhen dwells worked seamlessly. I wasn't sure about Rhen as a character at first, but he grew on me as the story progressed and we got to know him better. Harper comes across well, and I liked the way her cerebral palsy was introduced and dealt with during the tale. The idea that she was the only one different out of hundreds of girls stretched believability a little at the start, but that soon disappeared as the story took off, and I enjoyed the slow-burn progress of their relationship. The ending took me by surprise. There were a few things unresolved, which suggests a possible continuation in a second book later. We'll have to wait and see. I would certainly be happy to read more set in this world and with these characters.


If you have time to start a tournament then you need to make sure you have time to finish it.
If YOU CAN NOT HOST A TOURNAMENT.....THEN DON'T START A THREAD ABOUT IT!
If you CAN NOT AI, then find someone to help BEFORE starting the topic. READ and follow the rules BEFORE posting!
The countdown given in parenthesis after the deadline was updated when you loaded this page (it doesn't update itself while you are on this page).
The deadline is based on the base 120 day limit along with possible extensions granted to tournaments upon entering into signups. If a tournament goes beyond this point, it may be cancelled by the moderating staff and the host will be penalized.
This ban period can be removed if you complete your expired tournament, however you must PM Geice proof of progress before having your thread unlocked.
If you have not hosted a tournament before the entry list size cannot exceed 16 entrants.
The entry size limit includes any wildcard bracket you may wish to include.
You may start a tournament with more than 1 bracket, but the total should still not exceed the limit (for example, a 16 bot tournament could have a 8 bot LW and a 8 bot HW division).
1 entrant consists of 1 robot, however if the tournament is made of a single team-based bracket, each entrant may enter up to 3 robots.
Multibots and robots with interchangeable weapon systems count as 1 robot.
To move your tourney to signups, you can then submit your tournament for approval by PMing , where the rules will be screened.
From the day your topic is moved into signups, you will have 4 months to complete your tournament. However, if host wishes to have more time to host their tournament (maximum of 9 months), they may apply for more time by pm'ing Geice. The amount of time they get allocated will be judged based on premise and intended size. For example, a tournament like this would be allowed to run for 9 months, whilst a tournament like this would not be able to have any deadline extension.
Tournament Bailing will result in your thread being locked and a temp ban from starting another Discussion topic for 9 months after the expiry of your previous tournament.
You must not edit any entry you receive unless it is a necessary addition, or edit, to their smartzones (wiring is, also, an obvious exception). Any and all edits to problematic entries MUST be left to the entrant. Any failure to not abide by this rule will result in all matches in which the bot took part in being redone (and any subsequent matches it affects) in order for the entry which was unjustly edited to be represented correctly. If the original entry is problematic and is against the rules of the tournament, the builder must be contacted and be given at least 24 hours to fix the issue, assuming they were not contacted before signups closed. If the builder does not respond or does not wish to edit their entry, the bot must be removed from the tournament and the tournament restarted. If a host breaks this rule and does nothing to remedy the situation, their thread will be locked and a hosting ban of 1 month will be applied.
Basically, once you are finished with your tournament just toss Geice/Guldenflame a pm saying "tournament completed", "tourney finished", "I like pink bicycles btw I finished my tournament", "when's the forum hierarchy coming out btw i finished my tournament", whatever..
This is to let the tournament staff know that you are done with everything (including the awards thread if you are having one). Your tournament will be removed from the active tournament lists as the recipient next logs in.
Please don't inform the tournament staff when someone else finishes a tournament, its the hosts job to decide when its done.
Please don't send more then one pm "sign off" if the information isn't updated as fast as you want (we all have outside lives too).
Please don't start a new discussion topic before signing off.

The Cyclical Representation of the UK Conference Sector's Life Cycle: The Use of Refurbishments as Rejuvenation Triggers.
The Tourism Area Life Cycle (TALC) model (Butler, 1980) is one of the most influential and frequently quoted tourism related lifecycle frameworks. Extensively applied and critiqued, it remains a cornerstone in tourism research. The model classifies the hypothetical temporal development of a destination into a series of stages, these being exploration, involvement, development, consolidation, stagnation and decline and/or rejuvenation, which when aggregated are represented diagrammatically as a S-shaped curve. This paper presents a theoretical extension of the TALC model, based on the decade in which UK conference venues initiated their conference product lifecycle, and the use of refurbishments as state changing triggers to rejuvenate the conference product lifecycle. This theoretical extension is applied to the four conference venue classifications that together constitute the UK conference sector, namely purpose-built venues, hotels, educational establishments and visitor attractions. Each of these venue types initiated its lifecycle at different times, with individual venues progressing through their lifecycle and either stagnating or rejuvenating through the use of refurbishment's at differing times throughout the last 5 decades. Based on these findings, a linear model can be applied to the development of the UK conference sector. However, undertaking refurbishments, and thus the rejuvenation of the conference venues' lifecycle, are occurring at differing times, and therefore this paper forwards the view that today a cyclical model is more appropriate to the UK conference sector.

The Dart Dev Compiler (DDC) is a fast, modular compiler that generates modern
JavaScript (EcmaScript 6). Its primary use today is to support fast, iterative
development of Dart web applications for Chrome and other modern browsers.

# Support

DDC is meant to be used by build systems like bazel, `build_web_compilers` and
`flutter_tools`  under the hood. This compiler is not meant to be used by
application developers directly.

While at times the code generated by this compiler may be readable, the
representation is not meant to be stable and can break with time. For that
reason we do not recommend using this compiler to export Dart as a
JavaScript module.

The recommended approach to compile Dart to JavaScript is to use `dart compile
js` instead. If you intend to make a public JavaScript API based on a Dart
implementation, such API should be declared explicitly using the standard
Dart-JSInterop mechanisms.

# Implementation details

## Modularity

Unlike Dart2JS, DDC does not require an entire Dart application. Instead, it
operates modularly: it compiles a set of Dart files into a JavaScript module. A
DDC compilation step requires a set of input Dart files and a set of *summaries*
of dependencies. It performs modular type checking as part of this compilation
step, and, if the input type checks, it generates a JavaScript module. The
browser (i.e., the JavaScript runtime) loads and links the generated modules
when running the application. During development, a compilation step only needs
to be rerun if the Dart files or summaries it relies upon change. For most
changes, only a very small part of your code will require recompilation.
Moreover, modules that are unchanged can be cached in the browser.

## Representation

Currently Dart classes are mapped to ES6 classes, Dart fields to ES6 properties,
Dart getters/setters to ES6 getters/setters, Dart methods to ES6 methods, and so
on. Often names are preserved and calling conventions are natural JavaScript
ones.

Some Dart concepts don't map directly:

- *Libraries*. Multiple Dart libraries are mapped to a single JS module. Each
  library appears as a first class object in the generated JS module, with its
  top-level symbols as members. We currently use a heuristic (based upon file
  paths) to ensure unique naming of generated library objects.

- *Generics*. Dart generics are *reified*, i.e., they are preserved at runtime.
  Generic classes are mapped to factories that, given one or more type
  parameters, return an actual ES6 class (e.g., `HashMap$(core.String,
  core.int)` produces a class that represents a HashMap from strings to ints).
  Similarly, generic methods are mapped to factories that, given one or more
  type parameters, return a method.

- *Dynamic*. DDC supports dynamically typed code (i.e., Dart's `dynamic` type),
  but it will typically generate less readable and less efficient ES6 output as
  many type checks must be deferred to runtime. All dynamic operations are
  invoked via runtime helper code.

- *Constructors*. Dart supports multiple, named and factory constructors for a
  given class with a different initialization order for fields. Today, these
  are mapped to instance or static methods on the generated ES6 class.

- *Private members*. Dart maps private members (e.g., private fields or
  methods) to ES6 symbols. For example, `a._x` may map to `a[_x]` where `_x` is
  a symbol only defined in the scope of the generated library.

- *Scoping*. Dart scoping rules and reserved words are slightly different than
  JavaScript. While we try to preserve names wherever possible, in certain
  cases, we are required to rename.

In general, the current conventions (i.e., the Application Binary Interface or
ABI in compiler terminology) should not be considered stable. We reserve the
right to change these in the future.

# Browser support

DDC currently supports Chrome stable (though users have had success running on
FireFox and Safari).

Suspect Arrested in Connection to Killing of Alief ISD Teacher Found Shot in Backyard
Alief Shooting – Source: Pexels.com
Charvas Thompson was arrested in Shreveport, Louisiana on January 12, 2023 in connection to the shooting death of Wendy Duan, a teacher at Alief ISD. Duan was found shot to death in her backyard in Sugar Land, Texas on January 9, 2023. Detectives were able to gather enough evidence to identify Thompson as the suspect and secure an arrest warrant. Thompson was arrested at a home in Shreveport by the Western District of Louisiana Violent Offenders Task Force. Duan and Thompson had met on a dating app a week before the shooting. Thompson's criminal record includes a family violence case, a drug charge and a theft charge. Thompson is facing a murder charge and is expected to be transported to the Fort Bend County jail.
Alief ISD students and staff grieve for Wendy Duan
According to the district, Duan was a third-grade reading and writing teacher at Boone Elementary. The popular and beloved teacher was with the district since 2017.
Her district Twitter account was filled with photos showing her love for teaching and her students. They described her as a delightful, fun, upbeat and energetic educator.
While school officials declined to speak on camera, they released the following statement over the weekend:
"We are deeply saddened to learn about the tragic passing of Alief ISD employee Wendy Duan. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family during this difficult time."
The district also said that students and staff at the school are heartbroken over her loss.

Capture One has a pretty decent custom shortcuts feature which I use daily, but it lacks two shortcut-able things which would be really useful: Workspaces and Styles.
Fortunately the Mac user can utilize the System keyboard shortcuts to get around this shortcoming.
Set the Application to the installation of Capture One you want to affect.
The menu title needs to be exactly what the Menu is called in Capture One (case sensitve). For this article I made a Workspace called "EditWorkspace" (the names of your Workspaces need to be unique).
Add a shortcut – this also needs to be something unique.
If the shortcut is truly unique, and everything went to plan, you should now see a shortcut next to the Workspace in question. You can now switch to that Workspace using shortcuts.
This technique is great for short-cutting almost any menu item in the app. It relies on unique menu names in order to find it and then call it. However, there is one use case where this won't work – that of shortcuts for Styles.
The problem with Styles is the menu titles for the actual styles names appear first in the "Delete Style" menu – and as this menu is found first, any attempt to add a shortcut to a Style in the manner above will add the shortcut to the function to remove the style. Maybe not what you want.
Fortunately there is a simple solution.
This will add the shortcut (MacOS adds the shortcut to the menu UI) and the Style can now be applied via shortcut when a variant/variants are selected in the app.
This technique is really awesome when used in conjunction with Tangent button panels, putting 12 Styles under your fingertips to do quick looks on images.

New research shows that people associate being heavy-set with negative personality traits, while a slimmer shape is linked to positive characteristics.
DALLAS — You may be dazzling others with your smile, but what does your body shape say about your personality? Plenty, according to a new University of Texas at Dallas study.
Past research verifies that we learn a lot of information from other people's faces, but few studies until now have looked at how we are influenced by body shapes.
Researchers came up with three-dimensional renderings of 140 realistic body models. The 70 male and 70 female body models were created from random values across 10 different body dimensions based on laser scans of actual human bodies. This made it possible for researchers to know exactly what the physical measurements were for each body type in the study.
For the study, 76 undergraduate students were asked to view each body representation from two angles and then answer whether 30 trait words on the screen matched that body shape. These trait words came from a list commonly used in psychology research for the "Big Five" personality traits. Traits are usually seen as being either positive (e.g., extraverted, enthusiastic or dominant) or negative (e.g., reserved, quiet or shy).
The authors wanted to know whether there were patterns in what participants attributed to certain body types. Did the participants consistently match certain specific traits to certain specific body types?
The results of the study indicate that body shaming may be real. Participants tended to judge heavier bodies as having more negative traits, such as carelessness and laziness. On the other hand, participants judged lighter body types to have more positive traits, such as being enthusiastic and self-confident.
Participants also linked classically masculine (broad-shouldered) and classically feminine (pear-shaped) bodies to such "active" traits as being extraverted, irritable or quarrelsome. But when either male or female bodies were more rectangular shaped, participants thought these people would have more passive traits — being trustworthy, dependable, warm and shy.
Researchers went over the participants' responses in the study and concluded that it would be easy to predict the personality traits that would be matched to specific combinations of different body shapes.
Authors say this tendency to prejudge personality traits from body shapes is probably universal among humans, but note that it varies by culture, ethnicity and age. And while their study did look at factors beyond simple height and weight, they caution that other influencing factors, such as gender and overall attractiveness, were not included in this study.
Findings were published in the journal Psychological Science.

'Terminator: Genisys': Film Review
8:00 AM PDT 6/24/2015 by Todd McCarthy
This terminator is past its expiration date. TWITTER
Arnold is back in the latest installment of the 'Terminator' franchise, co-starring Emilia Clarke of HBO's 'Game of Thrones.'
Arnold Schwarzenegger once again declares, "I'll be back," in this fifth installment of the Terminator franchise, but enough already. Spending half its time showing unkillable cyborg characters getting shot up only to quickly heal themselves, and the other half trying to explain a plot that rewrites the entire series, Terminator: Genisys will serve as a good litmus test of how keen the public is to see basically the same old thing in a new (but very similar) bottle.
At one point, Schwarzenegger's lifelike robot tells his cohorts, "I'm old, not obsolete," but that will be up to audiences to decide; the sorry track record of the star's six post-gubernatorial features means that a lot is riding on the box-office of this continuation of his most popular franchise. Thanks to the visual effects equivalent of expert plastic surgery, the actor, who was 37 when the first series entry was released in 1984 and is now 67, more or less convincingly spans that time frame in terms of looks as he helps Sarah Connor and her son John try to save humankind — and themselves — from the victory of the machines.
How many times have we seen the Golden Gate Bridge destroyed in a big budget movie in past years? Has there been time to rebuild it since San Andreas a few weeks ago? And let's not forget Pacific Rim, Star Trek Into Darkness, Godzilla and Rise of the Planet of the Apes before that. Well, it happens again here as part of the nuke attack that's part of the back-story that must be altered if humanity is be given another chance.
Laboring with the problem of how to return to a well that many fans justifiably thought ran dry with McG's Arnold-free Terminator: Salvation in 2009, screenwriters Laeta Kalogridis and Patrick Lussier have worked out an elaborately rigged scenario in which John Connor (Jason Clarke), son of Sarah, by 2029, has led the human resistance to nearly total victory over the world's Skynet oppressors. But when he learns that, at the last second, the enemy has been able to transport another indestructible killer (basically an Asian version of Robert Patrick's T-1000) back to 1984 to kill his mother to ensure that he, John, would never be born, he hurriedly sends the buff and capable Sgt. Kyle Reese (Jai Courtney) back in time to protect Sarah and block the remaking of history.
Read more Arnold Schwarzenegger Pranks, Terrifies Fans at Madame Tussauds
Series fans will relish the care with which director Alan Taylor and his team recreate in the flashback the feel of James Cameron's original; Reese arrives, naked, in the same dark and grungy downtown Los Angeles alley to be greeted by a homeless derelict. Assaulted by the sleek and determined new terminator (Byung-hun Lee), Reese in short order is joined by the original edition (you know who, looking very young), giving Sarah (Emilia Clarke) the protection she needs until they all make the jump back to the future, in which son John looks older than Mom.
This time-jumping contrivance plays well enough, but what actually goes on in the scenes set 14 years hence feels rote and unimaginative. Action scenes are accumulated as if mandated by a stop-watch and almost invariably seem like warmed-over versions of stuff we've seen before in Terminator entries and elsewhere. The first three films in the series were R-rated and viscerally benefited from it; this one is rated PG-13 and its action scenes feel like diluted rehashes, obligatory and devoid of visual creativity in the same way the violence feel staged and photographed.
With Taylor coming aboard as director and Clarke assuming the role played a generation ago by Linda Hamilton, the series is clearly aiming to benefit by association with the ultra-violent Game of Thrones. But while she can be feisty at moments, Clarke can't do much to give dimension to the very one-note character of Sarah, and that goes double for Courtney as Reese, a role even more devoid of depth or wrinkles, physical or otherwise.
Read more Arnold Schwarzenegger: I'll Be Back for Sequel to 'Terminator: Genisys'
That leaves it to Arnold to save the day, but age has given him a vocal in addition to physical stiffness; he's still imposing and amusing up to a point, but he can't dominate the way he did thirty years ago.
And so the film just lumbers along, often tediously; there's no sense that the scenario has been carefully kneaded, structured and shaped by attentive dramatists. Visually, we've seen these images — or many like them — so many times before, and the score accentuates the retread feel with its monotonous thudding.
A little surprise insert during the end titles suggests that a follow-up to Terminator: Genisys is already intended by its makers. But if Arnold really wants not only to come back but to be welcomed back, he'll one day need to unterminate.

Internists Ask Government to Do More to Address COVID-19
Washington, DC (March 11, 2020) — In a series of recommendations provided to the Trump administration and Congress today, the American College of Physicians (ACP) laid out a series of steps federal, state and local governments, and other stakeholders should be taking to help address COVID-19 (the Novel Coronavirus).
The recommendations focus on expanding coverage for COVID-19 testing and treatment, removing barriers to care, and keeping our nation's frontline physicians and other health care professionals safe. ACP also asked that President Trump declare a national emergency.
"President Trump should issue an emergency declaration as appropriate for all states, the District of Columbia, and territories for COVID-19," said Robert McLean, MD, MACP, president, ACP, in the letter. "Doing so will enable states to receive crucial emergency Medicaid waivers and access other resources."
The recommendations went on to raise the issue of expanding coverage and access to testing and treatment.
"ACP is concerned that cost sharing, which discourages medically necessary care as well as unnecessary care, and coverage gaps may pose a significant barrier to testing and treatment of COVID-19," said Robert McLean, MD, MACP, president, ACP. "In general, while ACP is encouraged that health insurance company representatives have announced that they will cover COVID-19 services and waive some or all cost-sharing, federal and state action is necessary to ensure these promises become law."
In specific, ACP identified 11 different steps that could be taken to expand coverage and access to testing and treatment:
CMS should designate that laboratory tests and services related to diagnosis and treatment of COVID-19 are covered under the Essential Health Benefit package.
Congress should require group plans covered by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act to cover COVID-19 testing and treatment without cost sharing.
Congress and the Administration should expedite evaluation by the appropriate bodies and if supported by the evidence, designate COVID-19 tests and related services as covered preventive services without cost sharing.
The Administration should issue guidance to state governors and Medicaid directors encouraging them to temporarily expand Medicaid coverage eligibility with federal funding.
The Administration and states should simplify application and establish presumptive eligibility for Medicaid for COVID-19 testing, diagnosis and treatment.
All states should require health insurance plans subject to state regulation cover COVID-19 tests and treatment at no cost to enrollees.
CMS and the states should suspend Medicaid work requirements to allow for testing and treatment of COVID-19 without having to establish that they meet a state's work eligibility requirements.
Congress should mandate and provide federal funding so that all employers will implement paid family and medical leave.
The Administration should issue—and if appropriate, encourage states to establish—a Special Enrollment Period (SEP) for the insurance markets/exchanges established by the ACA, allowing individuals to sign up for coverage outside the usual enrollment period.
The Department of Homeland Security should establish that health care facilities will be immigration enforcement-free zones so that immigration status does not prevent a person from seeking care.
The Administration should suspend the public charge rule to allow for Medicaid coverage, testing, and treatment of legal non-citizen residents seeking testing and treatment for COVID-19.
Further detail was also given regarding recommendations related to funding the public health response; ensuring a sufficient supply of protective equipment for physicians and other health care professionals; facilitating the use of telehealth for COVID-19 testing and treatment; and, ensuring access to COVID-19 testing and treatment for resident non-citizens.
"Federal and state governments and other stakeholders should work with manufacturers of personal protective equipment, and provide sufficient funding, to ensure an adequate supply," said Dr. McLean in regard to the need to protect physicians and other health care professionals. "ACP is also concerned that there may not be sufficient supplies of personal protective equipment available to meet the urgent and growing need related to testing and treatment of COVID-19."
The American College of Physicians is the largest medical specialty organization in the United States with members in more than 145 countries worldwide. ACP membership includes 159,000 internal medicine physicians (internists), related subspecialists, and medical students. Internal medicine physicians are specialists who apply scientific knowledge and clinical expertise to the diagnosis, treatment, and compassionate care of adults across the spectrum from health to complex illness.

About The Refuge
Documentary Project
Bottom Walkers
Visit Oaks Bottom Wildlife Refuge
Oaks Bottom became an official wildlife refuge in 1988 and was Portland's first urban wildlife refuge and Migratory Bird Park. Sitting in Southeast Portland, bordered by the Willamette River to the West, Sellwood Park to the South, and the Sellwood-Moreland neighborhood to the North and East, Oaks Bottom is a natural gem within the city. Encompassing 163 diverse acres of meadow, marsh, wetland, and riparian forest, Oaks Bottom serves as habitat to over 200 species of migratory and resident birds, mammals including deer, raccoon, beaver, mink, and otter, and hundreds of species of plants, trees, fish, and flowers.
Oaks Bottom sits on the site of a former dump, and the rubble created by the construction of Highway 405. To fill the dump, the plan in the 1960s was to create an attraction on the site such as a motocross course, a gondola, a children's museum, and a marina. Ultimately, with the support of Portland Audubon, Sellwood-Moreland Improvement League, and the city of Portland, the refuge was established in 1988. With the ongoing support of these entities, and the people of Portland, Oaks Bottom wildlife refuge has continued to flourish.
As wilderness habitat in the center of a city, Oaks Bottom Wildlife Refuge faces many pressures from pollution and habitat loss. By following these simple rules we can keep the refuge pristine for future generations.
Dogs must be kept on their leashes at all times while in the sanctuary. Owners must collect and dispose of waste.
Stay on trail. Do not litter or vandalize the trees, rocks, fences, or signs.
Do not chase, feed, or otherwise interact with wildlife.
Oaks Bottom is home to a myriad of different birds, mammals, reptiles, and amphibians.
Questions or Comments? We look forward to hearing from you!

Q: How to display a selected simple product's image for configurables in the catalog? We import configurables without images, but the simples have images (marked by a special attribute).
How can we show the image of a simples as main image of the configurables (thumbnail, base image)
EDIT
There seems to be already similar logic in the core:
\Magento\ConfigurableProduct\Model\Product\Type\Configurable::setImageFromChildProduct
public function setImageFromChildProduct(\Magento\Catalog\Model\Product $product)
{
    if (!$product->getData('image') || $product->getData('image') === 'no_selection') {
        foreach ($this->getUsedProducts($product) as $childProduct) {
            if ($childProduct->getData('image') && $childProduct->getData('image') !== 'no_selection') {
                $product->setImage($childProduct->getData('image'));
                break;
            }
        }
    }
    return parent::setImageFromChildProduct($product);
}

Problem is that I need something similar for category (product list) pages and I think they do not use the image but the small image.

Q: Перевод числа с плавающей точкой в бинарное Написал функцию, которая, как мне хочется, должна переводить дробное число в двоичное, но она не работает.
Целая часть числа преобразуется в двоичное с помощью встроенной функции itoa(int, char array, 2); , для остатка после точки я написал свою функцию dec_bin, в которой число умножается на 2, потом первый символ запоминается, меняется на 0 и так далее...
#include <iostream>
#include <cmath>
#include <string>

using namespace std;
string dec_bin(string dec, int steps) {

Q: Update a view during a server process Scenario:

*

*I have a WCF service in a machine that is not my web server.

*In the web site I have a request that calls the WCF service.

*During that request I want to update a "progress bar" because the process with WCF service will happens in parts (the process will send data in batches).

My question is: how can i update the view (progress bar) during a process in the server side?

A: Dino Esposito has discussed this specific case in the march 2012 issue of Msdn Magazine.
To summarize its article, you can use SignalR which is a client/server messaging framework. It works over multiple "transports", depending on the server and client abilities (websockets, iframe, etc.) to have a pseudo persistent connection.
This framework is used to allow the server to report progress to the client, which can update its ui (typically the progress bar).

A: The scenario that you describe seems suitable for a call back wcf service. Please, refer to the following URL: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/cc163537.aspx for details.
