Cleveland Browns News
NFLPA president J.C. Tretter expressed concern over the league playing in the fall. Mark J. Rebilas-USA TODAY Sports
NFLPA president raises concern over season starting amid pandemic
Newly elected NFLPA president J.C. Tretter of the Cleveland Browns has not been one to remain quiet since taking over that role during the spring.
With the 2020 NFL season slated to get going in less than three months, Tretter is now using his platform to question the legitimacy of starting said season amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
"We are not invincible, and as recent reports have shown, we certainly aren't immune to this virus. Underlying conditions like high BMI, asthma and sleep apnea are all associated with a higher risk of developing severe symptoms and complications when infected with COVID-19," Tretter wrote, via the union's official website. "Those conditions are widespread across the league. NFL players are humans — some with immuno-compromised family members or live-in elderly parents. Trust me: we want to play football. But as a union, our most important job is keep our players safe and alive. The NFLPA will fight for our most at-risk players and their families."
This is one of the biggest concerns. It's not simply about the players. It's about their families. A number of said players are living with those who have preexisting conditions. Some of these players also have preexisting conditions themselves.
But for Tretter, it's about a lot more than that.
"It is the responsibility of the employer to provide a safe work environment. I encourage all workers to hold their employers accountable to high standards," Tretter continued. "More so than any other sport, the game of football is the perfect storm for virus transmission. There are protections, both short and long term, that must be agreed upon before we can safely return to work. The NFLPA will be diligent as we demand that the NFL provide us the safest workplace possible."
This seems to suggest that the union is not anywhere near sold on the 2020 regular season starting on Sept. 10. Training camps themselves are slated to begin in less than a month.
Recent reports conclude that there's some around the NFL world who don't believe the season will finish.
The concern during the spring was that a second wave of the virus would impact winter sports. Now that the United States remains in the first wave, this is an even larger issue.
The NFLPA president raising more questions than answers adds an entirely new layer to this.

Sixth studio album by the Irish pop rock group. Having returned with the emotive, stadium-bound first single 'The Last Time', 'Sunsets & Full Moons' is the sound of The Script - Danny O'Donoghue (vocals, piano, guitar), Mark Sheehan (vocals, guitars) and Glen Power (drums) - focusing on the inclusive, uplifting songwriting that helped them become an arena-filling band with a fervent fan base the world over. In many ways, 'Sunsets & Full Moons' feels like a sequel to The Script's much-loved debut album; both albums emerged from emotionally turbulent times: O'Donoghue lost his father around the time of the release of their debut. And ten years later, he lost his mother as they worked on this album - with both his parents passing on Valentine's Day. Naturally the songs began to reflect the band's own personal experiences - and those are themes sure to resonate with their fans, too.

Q: How to get wercker environment vars from php? I'm currently writing unit tests for an API written in PHP. This API implements a RateLimiting step before each request, and I want to avoid this step while I'm testing the application.
Now, if I want to run the tests locally I just have to check the local IP, which is "::1". But I'm having problems accessing the environment variables that my continuous integration server provides (I am using wercker).
If I run this from a PHPUnit test:
var_export(isset($_SERVER["CI"]) || isset($_SERVER["wercker"]));

I get true, but if I do do something similar before applying the rate limiting:
if (isset($_SERVER["CI"]) || $request->getIp() === "::1") {
   return;
} else {//...

the wercker tests keep failing because it never skips the rate limiting logic. Notice that the first piece of code is run from a test in PHPUnit, while the second one is part of the server application.
What am I doing wrong with the environment variables?
Please let me know if I must provide more information or documentation.

A: I was able to make it work by using PHP's getenv function
if (getenv("CI") ||  $request->getIp() === "::1") {
    return;
} else {//...

A: To display all environment variables on Wercker server, add this step (E.g : in build section) :
build:
    steps:
        - script:
            name: show env vars
            code: env

Butterflies aren't the only visitors to the SBG. The garden's native perennials, trees, shrubs, hedgerows, and adjacent open fields attract many bird species as well. SBG volunteers have begun monitoring to find out which bird species visit the garden. This guide describes each species seen so far and explains a bit about it.
The identification descriptions are intentionally non-technical; if you'd like more in-depth ID help, we recommend any of the excellent identification guides available in print (David Allen Sibley and Richard Crossley have published recent guides), online (the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology is an excellent starting place), and in apps such as iBird Explorer. You can hear bird sounds on many apps and through the Cornell Lab site. Here we focus on the birds' relationship to the SBG habitat. Our information generally comes from the guides mentioned above, and also the Birds of North America online database.

Q: Populating lists in python I have a loop to populate a list, using a loop format.
I'm supposed to create a list, then - using a loop - populate the list with N elements, and set each list element to its index multiplied by 10.
It is also possible that N will be 0. In this case I'm supposed to output an empty list [], and this what I think is tripping me up.
list = [N]

for x in range(N):
    innerlist = []
    for y in range(N):
        innerlist.append(list)
    list.append(innerlist)
    if N == 0:
        list = []
print (list)

I thought that the if(N==0) statement would reset the value of the list but it doesn't. I should output [] but instead I output [0].

A: >>> N = 10
>>> my_list = [iter * 10 for iter in range(N)]
>>> print(my_list)
[0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90]
>>> N = 0
>>> my_list = [iter * 10 for iter in range(N)]
>>> print(my_list)
[]

A: lst = range(8)
innerlst = []

for i in lst:
    if 0 in lst:
       innerlst = []
       continue
    else:
       innerlst.append(i*10)

A: If you just add the condition before entering the whole loop, you'll get the expected result:
N = 10
list = []
if (N > 0):
    for i in range(N):
        list.append(i*10)
print(list)
# output: [0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90]

A: myList = []

if N == 0:
  print(myList)
else:
  for i in range(N):
    myList.append(i * 10)
  print(myList)

A: I'm just a beginner myself, but I found this online that matches your question. I have no idea how to format the actual code right, but hopefully this helps!
my_list = []
my_newlist =[]
if N <= 0:
    print(my_list)
else:
    for x in range(N):
        my_list.append(x)
        my_newlist= [i* 10 for i in my_list] # not getting the statement 'i * 10 for in i' statement
    print(my_newlist)

Report downed wires immediately to your local utility company or police department. Do not attempt to move any objects that come in contact with any downed lines.
If the entire neighborhood or side of town is without power, there is an excellent chance that the utility company already knows and there is no immediate need to call.
If you are without power, but all the neighbors have power, then you should make sure that the problem is not internal to the home's electrical circuits, such as tripped breakers or blown fuses. Check to see if there is obvious damage to the electric meter box or the metal pipe on top, but never touch this equipment especially if it appears damaged. If all appears normal, then report the outage to the Dothan Electric Department by calling (334) 615-3302.
Once you have reported a power outage, there is no need to call Dothan Electric again for at least two hours. Repeat calls can make it difficult for first time callers to report their outages.
Dothan Electric concentrates on restoring electricity to the greatest number of customers in the shortest time period with priority given to vital community services such as public safety and emergency services.
All homes or businesses are connected through a system of wires and equipment to generating plants that provide electricity to their customers. Power can be interrupted if there is any disruption of this system. All of the lines and equipment along a path between the generation plant and a home or business must be working in order for the electricity to be working properly. In larger outages, Dothan Electric starts with the larger lines working down to the smaller ones to ensure that all aspects of the system are working.

Now, here's what I do to fill out the ballot. I listen to what other people are saying and writing. I do not listen to my own likes and dislikes about the English language. I will be honest with you: I do not like the word 'impactful', but that is neither here nor there in terms of whether 'impactful' is becoming common usage and becoming more acceptable in written prose. So to be responsible, what I do is go look at usage, which often involves going to look at online databases such as Google Books . Well, if you look for 'impactful' in Google Books, here is what you find. Well, it sure looks like 'impactful' is proving useful for a certain number of writers, and has become more and more useful over the last 20 years. Now, there are going to be changes that all of us don't like in the language. There are going to be changes where you think, 'Really? Does the language have to change that way?' What I am saying is, we should be less quick to decide that that change is terrible, we should be less quick to impose our likes and dislikes about words on other people and we should be entirely reluctant to think that the English language is in trouble. It's not. It is rich and vibrant and filled with the creativity of the speakers who speak it. In retrospect, we think it's fascinating that the word 'nice' used to mean silly, and that the word 'decimate' used to mean to kill one in every 10. We think that Bean Franklin was being silly to worry about 'notice' as a verb. Well, you know what? We're going to look pretty silly in a hundred years for worrying about 'impact' as a verb and 'invite' as a noun. The language is not going to change so fast that we can't keep up. Language just doesn't work that way. I hope that what you can do is find language change not worrisome but fun and fascinating, just the way dictionary editors do. I hope you can enjoy being part of the creativity that is continually remarking our language and keeping it robust. So how does a word get into a dictionary? It gets in because we use it and we keep using it, and dictionary editors are paying attention to us. If you are thinking,'But that lets all of us decide what words mean,' I would say, 'Yes it does, and it always has.' Dictionaries are a wonderful guide and resource, but there is no objective dictionary authority out there, that is the final arbiter about what words mean. If a community of speakers is using a word, and knows what it means, it's real. That word might be slangy, that word might be informal, that word might be a word that you think is illogical or unnecessary, but that word that we're using, that word is real.
土豪和大妈可能会被收入新版的牛津(Oxford)英语词典,至今约有120中文加进了牛津英语词典,成了英语语言的一部分。
The Chinese heated wordsusually reflect social changes and culture, some of which areincreasingly popular with foreign media. Tuhao and dama, forexample, are both old words, but they get different meaningsnow。
So here is Dean Henry Alford in 1875, who was very concerned that 'desirability' is really a terrible word. In 1760, Benjamin Franklin wrote a letter to David Hume giving up the word 'colonize' as bad. Over the years, we've also seen worries about new pronunciations. Here is Samuel Rogers in 1855 who is concerned about some fashionable pronunciations that he finds offensive, and he says 'as if contemplate were not bad enough, balcony makes me sick.' The word is borrowed in from Italian and it was pronounced bal-COE-nee. These complaints now strike us as quaint, if not downright adorkable, but here's the thing: we still get quite worked up about language change. I have an entire file in my office of newspaper articles which express concern about illegitimate words that should not have been included in the dictionary, including 'LOL' when it got into the Oxford English Dictionary and 'defriend' when it got into the Oxford American Dictionary. I also have articles expressing concern about 'invite' as a noun, 'impact' as a verb, because only teeth can be impacted, and 'incentivize' is described as 'boorish', bureaucratic misspeak.'
【参考译文】
Tuhao was used to refer to Local tyrants or village landlords who oppressed tenants and servants before, but now, the word is used to refer the people who spend money like water or the people who like to show off their wealth. It means that Tuhaos are rich, but they have no taste. Dama is the appellation for middle-aged woman, but now it is used to describe the Chinese women who rushed to purchase gold when the gold priced plunged sharply not long ago。
Tuhao and dama may be includedin the new Oxford dictionary. Up to now, about 120 Chinese wordshave been added to it, becoming a part of Englishlanguage。

Now, We have other categories in which we vote too, and my favorite category is most creative word of the year. Past winners in this category have included 'recombobulation area', which is at the Milwaukee Airport after security, where you can recombobulate. You can put your belt back on, put your computer back in your bag. And then my all-time favorite word at this vote, which is ' multi-slacking'. And multi-slacking is the act of having multiple windows up on your screen so it looks like you are working when you're actually goofing around on the web. Will all of these words stick? Absolutely not. And we have made some questionable choices, for example in 2006 when the word of the year was 'Plutoed', to mean demoted. But some of the past winners now seem completely unremarkable, such as 'APP', and 'e' as a prefix, and 'google' as a verb. Now, a few weeks before our vote, Lake Superior State University issues its list of banished words for the year. What is striking about this is that there's actually often quite a lot of overlap between their list and the list that we are considering for words of the year, and this is because we're noticing the same thing. We're noticing words that are coming into prominence. It's really a question of attitude. Are you bothered by language fads and language change, or do you find it fun, interesting, something worthy of study as part of living language? The list by the Lake Superior State University continues a fairly long tradition in English of complaints about new words.

I need to start by telling you a little bit about my social life, which I know may not seem relevant, but it is. When people meet me at parties and they find out that I am an English professor who specializes in language, they generally have one of two reactions. One set of people look frightened. They often say something like, 'Oh, I'd better be careful what I say, I'm sure you'll hear every mistake I make.' And then they stop talking. And they wait for me to go away and talk to somebody else. The other set of people, their eyes light up, and they say, ' You are just the person I want to talk to.' And then they tell me about whatever it is they think is going wrong with the English language.
Chinese hot words are usually been regarded as a reflection of the social change and a reflection of some certain culture phenomena, some of which are quite popular in the foreign media. Tuhao and dama, for example, are both old words, but in nowadays, they have gained the new meanings。
翻译一:
Now it's not that dictionary editors ignore these kinds of attitudes about language. They try to provide us some guidance about words that considered slang or informal or offensive, often through usage labels, but there're in something of a bind, because they're trying to describe what we do, and they know that we often go to dictionaries to get information about how we should use a word well or appropriately. In response, the American Heritage Dictionaries include usage notes. Usage notes tend to occur with words that are troublesome in one way, and one of the ways that they can be troublesome is that they're changing meaning. Now usage notes involve very human decisions, and I think, as dictionary users, we're often not as aware of those human decisions as we should be. To show you what I mean, we'll look at an example, but before we do I want to explain what the dictionary editors are trying to deal with in this usage note. Think about the word 'peruse' and how you use that word. I would guess many of you are thinking of skim, scan, reading quickly. Some of you may even have some walking involved, because you're perusing grocery store shelves, or something like that. You might be surprised to learn that if you look in most standard dictionaries, the first definition will be to read carefully or pour over. American Heritage has that as the first definition. They then have, as the second definition, skim, and next to that, they say 'usage problem'. And then they include a usage note, which is worth looking at. So here is the usage note: 'Peruse has long meant 'to read thoroughly'. But the word if often used more loosely, to mean simply 'to read'. Further extension of the word to mean 'to glance over, skim', has traditionally been considered an error, but our ballot results suggest that it is becoming somewhat more acceptable. When asked about the sentence, I only had a moment to peruse the manual quickly', 66 percent of the [usage] Panel found it unacceptable in 1988, 58 percent in 1999, and 48 percent in 2011. Ah, the Usage Panel, that trusted body of language authorities who is getting more lenient about this. Now, what I hope you're thinking right now is, 'Wait, who's on the Usage Panel? And what should I do with their pronouncements?' If you look in the front matter of American Heritage Dictionaries, you can actually find the names of the people on the Usage Panel. But who looks at the front matter of dictionaries? There are about 200 people on the Usage Panel. They include academicians, journalists, creative writers. There's a Supreme Court justice on it and a few linguists. As of 2005, the list includes me. Here's what we can do for you. We can give you a sense of the range of opinions about contested usage. That is and should be the extent of our authority, we are not a language academy. About once a year, I get a ballot that asks me about whether new uses, new pronunciations, new meanings, are acceptable.
Tuhao and dama are likely to be included into the new edition of Oxford Dictionary. Up to now, about 120 Chinese words have been included into Oxford Dictionary, and these words have woven themselves into the texture of the English language。
The word tuhao used to meanrural landlords who oppress their tenants andservants, while now it refers to people spending money withoutlimits or those showing off all around. That is to say, tuhaoowns money rather than taste. The word dama isused to describe middle-aged women. However, it is regarded as aspecial word to call those Chinese women whorushed to purchase gold when the gold price decreased sharply notlong ago。
At some level, we know that there are human hands behind dictionaries, but we are really not sure who those hands belong to. I'm actually fascinated by this. Even the most critical people out there, tend not to be very critical about dictionaries, not distinguishing among them and not asking a whole lot of questions about who edited them. Just think about the phrase ' Look it up in the dictionary,' which suggests that all dictionaries are exactly the same. Consider the library here on campus, where you go into the reading room, and there is a large, unabridged dictionary up on a pedestal in this place of honor and resect lying open so we can go stand before it to get answers. Now, don't get me wrong, dictionaries are fantastic resources, but they are human and they are not timeless. I am struck as a teacher that we tell students to critically question every text they read, every website they visit, except dictionaries, which we tend to treat as un-authored, as if they came nowhere to give us answers about what words really mean.
土豪以前指欺压佃户和仆人的乡村地主,现在用于指花钱如流水或喜欢炫耀财富的人,也就是说,土豪有钱,但是没有品位。大妈是对中年妇女的称呼,但是现在特指不就前金价大跌时大量购买黄金的中国妇女。
A couple of weeks ago, I was at a dinner party and the man to my right started telling me about all the ways that the Internet is degrading the English language . He brought up Facebook, and he said, ' To defriend? I mean, is that even a real word? ' I want to pause on that question: What makes a word real? My dinner companion and I both know what the word 'defriend' means, so when does a new word like 'defriend' become real? Who has the authority to make those kinds of official decisions about words, anyway? Those are the questions I want to talk about today.
I think most of people, when they say a word isn't real, in a standard dictionary. That, of course, raises a host of other questions, including, who writes dictionaries? Before I go any further, let me clarity my role in all of this. I do not write dictionaries. I do, however, collect new words much the way dictionary editors do, and the great thing about being a historian of the English language is that I get to call this 'research'. When I teach the history of the English language, I require that students teach me two new slang words before I will begin class. Over the years, I have learned some great new slang this way, including ' hangry' , which is when you are cranky or angry because you are hungry, and 'adorkable' , which means you are adorable in kind of a dorky way. Clearly, terrific words that fill important gaps in the English language. But how real are they if we use them primarily as slang and they don't yet appear in a dictionary? With that, let's turn to dictionaries. I'm going to do this as a show of hands: How many of you still regularly refer to a dictionary, either print or online? Okey, so that looks like most of you. Now, a second question. Again, a show of hands: How many of you have ever looked to see who edited the dictionary you are using? Okey, many fewer.
必威,What makes a word real? It's us. We use it and we use it regularly. It's we make the word real.
Here's the thing: If you ask dictionary editors, what they will tell you is they're just trying to keep up with us as we change the language. That are watching what we say and what we write and trying to figure out what 's going to stick and what's not going to stick. They have to gamble, because they want to appear cutting edge and catch the wards that are going to make it, such as LOL, but they don't want to appear faddish and include the words that aren't going to make it, and I think a word that they are watching right now is YOLO, you only live once. Now I get to hang out with dictionary editors, and you might be surprised by one of the places where we hang out. Every January, we go to the American Dialect Society annual meeting, where among other things, we vote on the word of the year. There are about 200 or 300 people who come, some of the best known linguists in the United States. To give you a sense of the flavor of the meeting, it occurs right before happy hour. Anyone who comes can vote. The most important rule is that you can vote with only one hand. In the past, some of the winners have been 'tweet' in 2009 and 'hashtag' in 2012. 'Chad' was the word of the year in the year 2000, because who knew what a chad was before 2000, and 'WMD' in

Q: Any one suggest for sharepoint office365 to have a single list form for all lists in the sharepoint site? I want to have one List form or Page.
I want to select the List name from the dropdown in the page and accordingly the relevant List fields to be loaded in the page.
If i submit the form data should be saved to the relevant list selected in the Dropdown.
Can anyone suggest the best solution to implement this requirement.

A: For out of box solution, there will be no proper feature fitting your requirements. If you go to site contents page you will see all the lists available, however it seems you want a better experience. I will suggest you to consider creating custom solution with SPFx.


I sound like a broken record when I keep saying this, but my stomach is still a hot mess! I don't know what it feels like to have an appetite because I've been shoving food down for the past 10 days. But sometimes these herx like flares last longer than others so I expected that.
The Saturday before last was the best day I have had in 8 months so it's bittersweet because I got a chance to see what feeling really good is like, and bad because then I went into this rut I'm in. But I'm just focusing on having another day like that soon.
Taking Vial 7 today! 9 days left of this series! So excited!

Unsupervised, online training is not the only way to bypass the law, according to city construction workers who describe a lively and accessible underground market for fraudulent safety cards. According to construction workers, the industry's widespread and brazen noncompliance with the law has further undermined the culture of safety – the exact opposite of the law's intended effect. In response to the article in City & State, the Department of Buildings said was not responsible for monitoring fraudulent safety classes and certifications and would develop its own safety training program.
Construction safety experts decry the law's failed implementation and the Department of Building's failure to properly implement the safety legislation. Given the law's widespread noncompliance, construction accidents and construction deaths in the city continue their upward climb – from 212 construction injuries during Mayor de Blasio's first term to 744 last year. With construction booming across the five boroughs, it appears the safety of construction workers is sadly taking a backseat.


Venezuela's economic crisis has led to some shocking and surreal price distortions that hit people's buying power dramatically. While the government of President Nicolas Maduro calls the country's minimum wage of Bs. 4,252 the highest in the region when converted to $675 using the official exchange rate, the galloping black market for currency considers it as just $42.50 when converted at the street rate of Bs. 100 per US dollar, the rate which many importers and retail outlets must use to acquire hard currency. Venezuela's annual inflation rate of more than 63 percent is the highest in the Americas, according to official statistics. I can't see Adidas selling many pairs of trainers at these crazy prices.

Q: To change the output class label value of a predict function in OneclassSVM When I use OneClassSVM, we confirm that the results obtained by estimator.predict (X_test) derive the results as 1 and -1, respectively. Each means an outlier value and an internal value. But what I want is to label it with different values, like 0,1 not -1,1. I thought I could give a specific argument to predict to do so, but I couldn't find the search result I wanted.
from sklearn import OneClassSVM

check = OneClassSVM(kernel='rbf', gamma='scale')
check.fit(X_train, y_train)
check.predict(X_test)

I used the above code.

A: There is no built-in function to specify the labels. However, you can perform this operation using np.where():
import numpy as np
pred = np.array([-1, 1, -1, 1])

np.where(pred==-1, 'outlier_value', 'internal_value')

Output:
array(['outlier_value', 'internal_value', 'outlier_value',
   'internal_value'], dtype='<U14')


KDCA adopts a two-pronged strategy comprising the socio-cultural development thrust (which covers 5 main Development Bureaus), and the entrepreneurship and commercial development emphasis.
Special Committees, Councils, Units and Sub-Committees have been created for the supportive implementation of programs and activities of the KDCA, which indirectly serves to increase opportunities for the participation and involvement of KDCA members in the overall movement and development of the association.
The Human Resource in KDCA are its most important assets as they continue to determine whether the association is pro-active, dynamic and progressive or otherwise. As KDCA does not have the capacities to compete with profit oriented establishments in offering high salary scales for staffing, it has depended a lot on voluntary services from its members. This has been possible because of the Kadazandusun value system of group and community work known as "Mitatabang, Mokiwaya om Mogiulung".
The KDCA's programs and activities are funded from membership subscription fees, fund raising projects, members' donations and contributions from philantropists, charitable organizations, individuals and friends of the Association.


Book Three, Sutra 2 of Patanjali's Yoga sutras states: "The continuous inward flow of consciousness is meditation" (Nischala Joy Devi translation).
When I was a child we adopted our first dog, a spirited toy poodle. Predictably, the care, feeding and training that was promised by us kids, failed to materialize and fell onto mom. With 5 children and little extra time on her hands, dog training became a low priority. As a result we spent many hours frantically trying to find, catch and retrieve "Pepe" who took every opportunity to escape the home front and run free. At the time we thought of this as people with a "bad dog" problem, but looking back, I see it was a dog with "bad owners" problem. We were too preoccupied to give the dog the attention, discipline and love it really needed.
When I first started meditation practice, my mind was much like Pepe. It would run wild, while another part of the mind was frantically trying to catch, contain and control it. This did not work so well, and was less than enjoyable. With practice and reflection, a gentler approach started to emerge. Like speaking to a dog with a soothing voice and perhaps offering it treats so that it will draw near and enjoy your company, the mind responded to a kinder, deeper, nurturing voice that invited it to come, relax and take respite for awhile in its company. This seemed to be a turning point for me. As if, at first it was the mind tryng to control the mind, but now it became the Seer (Drastu) that enticed the mind with compassion and understanding.
Many years ago some dear friends in Alaska had two wolf hybrid dogs. Each year they would hike with them for several days, traversing the Resurrection Trail from Hope to Seward. They were excited to give the dogs the freedom to run and explore in this beautiful wilderness away from traffic and other people. To their surprise and a little dismay, the dogs would barely leave their side. You see, their owners were the "Alpha dogs" and leaders of the pack. In a wolf pack one would not leave the protection and guidance of the leader while in strange territory and so my friends took their 26 mile trek with their dogs essentially at heel the entire way!
The other day, I was practicing meditation with the technique of observing the breath while marking each one up to a count of 10 breaths, then letting the mind wander for a time prior to coming back to the breath. I've discovered that my mind has now become much more like the wolf hybrid than the runaway Pepe. It does not seem to want to wander too far from the soothing inner flow of restful awareness that expands from within. Although this doesn't happen every time, quite often now, the mind seems to want to rest its soft and furry head on the lap of the soul and be gently stroked until it is time to get up once again and play some more. Many sage teachers have said that the mind can be your best friend or worst enemy. Meditation is helping to transform mine into a true and loyal friend.


For the BJP, the contrast couldn't be any greater — while they're celebrating the Narendra Modi government being in power for three years — a special CBI court in Lucknow, hearing the Babri Masjid demolition case, framed charges of criminal conspiracy, inciting the mob, promoting enmity between different groups on grounds of religion and disrupting communal harmony against Union minister Uma Bharti and two of the party's senior leaders LK Advani, and Murli Manohar Joshi.
What makes the contrast even greater is that for the past 25 years, the BJP has been insisting that the charges of criminal conspiracy were false and leveled against them because of "political reasons", blaming the animus of the then Congress-led Narshimha Rao government at the Centre.
The BJP's spectacular growth — a negligible two seats in the Lok Sabha in 1984, which jumped to 85 seats in 1989, rose to 120 seats in 1991, becoming the country's single largest party with 187 seats in 1996 and forming a government for 13 days before finally forming a coalition government in 1998 — is attributed to LK Advani's Ram Rath Yatra from Somnath to Ayodhya.
Words such as pseudo secular and Muslim appeasement were Advani's creations. During his yatra, he set the terms of political discourse. BJP leaders have long held the Ram temple in Ayodhya as an article of faith and described the Babri Masjid as a "disputed structure". They never believed that it was a place of worship for Muslims.
Advani and Atal Bihari Vajpayee are the BJP's founding fathers. It is precisely because of Advani's role in building the foundation of the BJP, being the principal architect of the party and its subsequent growth across the country that he is still given a place of prominence within the party.
But at this very moment, when BJP has a firm grip on the levers of power at the Centre, Advani, Joshi, Bharti, and other Sangh Parivar leaders have been charged by the CBI court of grievous criminal offences.
According to a report in CNN-News 18, these leaders have been charged under IPC Section 120B (punishment of criminal conspiracy) to be read with Section 153 (inciting a mob with an intent to cause riots), Section 153A (promoting enmity between different groups on grounds of religion and disrupting communal harmony), Section 295 (defiling a place of worship with an intent to insult the religion), Section 295A (deliberate and malicious acts, intended to outrage religious feelings of any community) and Section 505 (provocative statements causing public mischief).
Incidentally, this is second time in past 25 years that they have been charged with criminal conspiracy. They had earlier been acquitted by the Raebareli court. However the Supreme Court turned the back the clock and revived the charges.
1. Now that Bharti has been charge sheeted, will she resign from the government?
2. What's the political fallout?
Sources in BJP, including those close to Bharti, have ruled out a resignation. Finance minister Arun Jaitley earlier poured cold water on any such notion, and rejected the Congress' demand for her resignation, saying that if one was to act on a charge sheet, many Congress ministers and chief ministers would be in trouble.
BJP MP Subramanian Swamy told CNN-News18 that the charge sheet was of a different nature, was not related to any case of corruption, and there was no conflict of interest with the portfolio Bharti holds. "This whole case is totally devoid of any merit," Swamy added. "There was no masjid which was demolished in the first place."
Bharti, for her part, said there was no conspiracy but an "open movement" which led to the demolition and thus there was no scope for any conspiracy.
When the NDA government was in power, Buta Singh, who held the portfolio of the communication ministry, was shown the door after being charge sheeted in a corruption case. Although, the fact that Singh later had to resign as Bihar governor during the Manmohan Singh regime after being indicted by the Supreme Court, is another matter entirely.
BJP leaders argue that Bharti's case is different and that the standards set by the Vajpayee government for Singh do not apply, more so because Bharti was made a minister by the Vajpayee government when she was an accused in the case.
Now let's examine the potential political fallout. The most interesting thing to watch, for those paying close attention, is to see how vigorously the CBI pursues the case against the BJP top brass.
Consider this — the Supreme Court ordered the CBI court to examine all witnesses, hear arguments and deliver its verdict in two years — if the special court can adhere to that time frame, the verdict should be out around summer 2019 — when the general election would be in full swing.
It's anybody's guess what impact the verdict, be it exoneration or conviction, would have on the public mood.
While senior BJP leaders are avoiding the subject, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath made his position clear. After Advani landed in Lucknow and reached the VVIP guest house, Adityanath welcomed him and the two leaders discussed the issue behind closed doors.
One doesn't need to be a mind reader to discern Adityanath's thoughts. He has been a staunch supporter of constructing the Ram temple in Ayodhya and is slated to visit the city on Wednesday. He will land at 9.30 am, head to Hanuman Garhi temple, later go for a 'darshan' of Ram Lala, attend some official programs and return to Lucknow before sundown.
Today's framing of charges by CBI court against senior BJP leaders has revived the Ram temple issue in the minds of the public. Adityanath's visit will only shine a spotlight on the subject.
As for the political fallout? We'll have to wait and watch.

A technology leader from the entertainment industry has stepped into a new position Google created to accelerate adoption of its cloud among customers in that vertical.
John Honeycutt, CTO at mass media company Discovery for the last four years, joined Google's cloud division as vice president of telecommunications, media and entertainment earlier this month, Google confirmed to CRN.
The hire, first reported by entertainment trade publication Variety, comes as Google Cloud Platform is establishing a thriving niche in serving film and television production companies that require significant data storage and compute capabilities.
Honeycutt will drive Google's outreach to film studios, content creators and distributors, telecoms, gaming, and esports companies, a Google Cloud spokesperson said.
In leading Google's global strategy for developing and implementing that business, Honeycutt will focus on "ensuring that partners and customers are receiving the best of what both Google and Google Cloud have to offer," the spokesperson told CRN.
Honeycutt worked 15 years at Discovery, in his last position there responsible for the media empire's entire technology stack and managing a 1,500-person workforce.
For eight years before that, he worked at Fox Broadcasting, where he left as senior vice president of broadcast operations, according to his LinkedIn page.
"He will have the opportunity to combine his experiences running strategic, operational and technical sides of multinational media companies with the technical innovation of Google Cloud to help drive not just one company, but the entire industry forward," the Google spokesperson said.
In July, Google turned the lights on at its 17th cloud data center region in Los Angeles.
That complex aimed to put compute and storage resources in the backyard of film production houses, animation studios, and other content creators. Google simultaneously delivered new products for transferring large amounts of data and collaborating on large files—a requirement of the industry.
Honeycutt's efforts will benefit channel partners looking to win media and telecom accounts, the company said.
"Google Cloud currently works with a wide array of partners and customers in the telecommunications, media & entertainment space. We look forward to expanding current relationships even more deeply and building out new ones under John's guidance and leadership," Google's spokesperson told CRN.
SADA Systems, a Google partner based in Los Angeles, has seen its entertainment industry practice scale rapidly thanks to Google's infrastructure and technology portfolio, said SADA CEO Tony Safoian.
Safoian actually met Honeycutt at the Google NEXT conference last July in San Francisco. He told CRN he's excited to learn that an entertainment industry veteran has been tasked with driving the provider's strategy along that booming vertical.
"We've helped several media and entertainment clients on their cloud transformation journey and welcome the opportunity to work closely with Honeycutt to drive more adoption of Google Cloud," he told CRN.

Stagecoach 2019: Bret Michaels talks music, barbecue, tight pants and Tom Jones
The Poison frontman was fired up to bring rockin' hits like "Nothin' But a Good Time" and "Every Rose Has its Thorn" as well as his solo material to the country music fest.

Singer-songwriter Bret Michaels, who is most well known as the frontman of glam metal band Poison, may have seemed like an odd choice to headline the Palomino Stage during the first day of the 13th Annual Stagecoach Country Music Festival in Indio over the weekend, but the rocker said he's always had a deep love for country music.
"I can't tell you how honored I am to be playing Stagecoach," he said during an interview backstage at Stagecoach where he was fired up for his performance, to hang out with fans and to enjoy some barbecue at Guy Fieri's Stagecoach Smokehouse. "I'm a fan of country music. I like all kinds of music, but I'm a rocker that loves country music. It's just great stories, these great songs and I love classic rock and country so I guess I'm a crocker rocker. Those are the types of songs that you hope withstand the test of time and that's what the Palomino Stage does, it presents these timeless artists and these really timeless songs."

Michaels has rocked on stage with guys like Travis Tritt, Kenny Chesney and Hank Williams Jr. He's also confident he'll do something live with "Third Rock from the Sun" singer Joe Diffie over in the Palomino Stage since the two are friends and Diffie goes on just before Michaels. He's also buds with Friday night Mane Stage headliner Luke Bryan, whom he met while filming a season of "Celebrity Apprentice," which Michaels won in 2010.
"What I love about Luke is that he knows exactly what he wants to be and the toughest thing about Luke is that he knows exactly what he wants to be," Michaels said with a laugh as he recalled being tasked with working with Bryan for one of the challenges on the reality show. "He was already cool, like he had this Elvis-like swagger to him and a cool vibe, so I told him to maybe try a black T-shirt and a like rocker silver chain to change up his look and let me tell ya, at first, that was like pulling teeth. I was just like, Look, buddy, I can't lose this thing."

Though that was earlier on in Bryan's career as he was breaking into mainstream country radio, he went on to become also known for some of his fashion choices, including some skin-tight blue jeans.
"I had nothing to do with that," Michaels said with a laugh. "Let me just go on the record now and say that I had no pants suggestions. I only said the black T-shirt so I stayed waist up."
He's certain that music legend Tom Jones, of "It's Not Unusual" and "Delilah" fame, will get the Stagecoach ladies riled up as he closes out the Palomino Stage on Sunday night and probably get more undergarments thrown at him from the crowd as well.
"Oh, Tom Jones for sure will get more, he's had a lifetime of panties thrown at him," he said. "I'm working to get to those numbers. I'm going to have to bring my A-game though and I know that. He's making me bring my A-game to Stagecoach."
Michaels said he worked directly with the Stagecoach team to curate some of the action on the Palomino Stage and that he's ready to give "a thousand percent" as he blasts through Poison hits like "Nothin' But a Good Time," "Something to Believe In," "Every Rose Has its Thorn" and "Talk Dirty to Me," on top of his solo material and his latest song, "Unbroken," which he co-wrote with his youngest daughter Jorja Bleu.
"It was amazing," he said of writing with his offspring. "She was going through a tough time and we sat down at the piano and I said 'This is what music is all about.' It's therapeutic. We sat down and wrote these lyrics together and she came up with the melody and I picked up the guitar and it was an unstoppable bonding moment for both of us and musically it was really magical."

From [HERE] Many reeled on Friday as a shooting at a bar, which left one Indian engineer dead and another injured, escalated into an international incident amid fears that the attack was motivated by bias and hate.
The authorities in the United States, including F.B.I. agents, are investigating the shooting as a possible hate crime, and India's government expressed shock over the episode in suburban Kansas City.
In New Delhi, the episode raised new alarm about the treatment of foreigners in the United States, where President Trump has made clamping down on immigration and refugees from predominantly Muslim countries a central part of his "America First" agenda.
The attack occurred around 7:15 p.m. Wednesday at Austins Bar and Grill in Olathe, Kan., southwest of Kansas City.
At least one witness said that the gunman, identified by the authorities as Adam W. Purinton, 51, a awhite man who yelled "get out of my country" before opening fire, The Kansas City Star reported. A bartender at a Clinton, Mo., restaurant where Mr. Purinton was later captured said he had heard him say that he had killed two Middle Eastern men.
A 24-year-old American man who tried to intervene after he reportedly heard the gunman utter racist slurs was shot and hospitalized.
Citing judicial ethics and the continuing inquiry, investigators in the United States have offered no specifics about the allegations against Mr. Purinton, who was charged on Thursday with one count of premeditated first-degree murder and two counts of attempted premeditated first-degree murder. The federal government could ultimately try to bring civil rights charges against Mr. Purinton.
Mr. Purinton was jailed in Henry County, Mo., before his extradition on Friday morning. Stephen M. Howe, the district attorney in Johnson County, Kan., said Mr. Purinton's bond had been set at $2 million.
Mr. Howe's office did not immediately respond to a message on Friday. A spokesman for the Olathe Police Department referred questions to the prosecutor's office.
In Johnson County, at least, Mr. Purinton has had few run-ins with law enforcement. Court records show a thin history: a speeding ticket in 2008 and a 1999 drunken-driving charge that was dismissed.
He spent time in the Navy and, according to a website where veterans can list their military record and find shipmate lists, he was deployed aboard the U.S.S. Long Beach, a missile cruiser, from 1988 to 1990. Mr. Purinton, who has held private pilot and control tower operator certifications, also worked for the Federal Aviation Administration, which he left in 2000, according to agency records and a spokeswoman.
No real mystery here. 'Most white people hate non-white people. The reason that most white people hate non-white people is because whites are not non-white people. If you know this about white people, you need know little else. If you do not know this about white people, virtually all else that you know about them will only confuse you.' -Neely Fuller.
The dead man, Srinivas Kuchibhotla, worked for Garmin, a GPS navigation and communications device company. The wounded Indian man, Alok Madasani, also worked for Garmin, according to the Indian government. The men were in their early 30s.
Many immigrants in the United States have been voicing concerns about the policies and language of Mr. Trump, who has ordered restrictions on immigration and a sped-up deportation process for undocumented immigrants. The F.B.I. reported an uptick in hate crimes in the United States last year.
Thousands of Indian technology workers have come to the United States under the H1-B program, which grants skilled foreign workers temporary visas. But the potential tightening of that program has raised concerns in India, where many young people dream of studying or working in the United States.
Dhruva Jaishankar, a foreign policy fellow at Brookings India in New Delhi, said that an isolated incident like the Kansas shooting would not affect the relationship between the United States and India. But if more attacks against Indians were to occur, or if the United States were perceived to not be taking such cases seriously enough, there could be a problem, he said.
India's foreign minister, Sushma Swaraj, said on Friday on Twitter: "I am shocked at the shooting incident in Kansas in which Srinivas Kuchibhotla has been killed. My heartfelt condolences to bereaved family." Ms. Swaraj said she had spoken to Mr. Kuchibhotla's father and brother, who live in Hyderabad, India.
The Kansas attack dominated the Indian news media on Friday, with headlines calling the wounded American, Ian Grillot, a hero, and labeling the shooting a hate crime. In a video recorded at his hospital bed, Mr. Grillot said he had hidden under a table when the shooting began, then pursued the assailant, mistakenly thinking he was out of bullets. Mr. Grillot was shot in the hand and the chest.
Ms. Swaraj said that Mr. Madasani had been released from the hospital.
Mr. Madasani's father, Jagan Mohan Reddy, a government engineer in Hyderabad, said by telephone that his family was "in a state of shock." He said he did not know whether he would ask Mr. Madasani and another son living in the United States to leave the country.
But as he recalled a visit from Mr. Madasani to India in 2014, Mr. Reddy pointedly said Mr. Trump's policies and tone could be inciting violence. "At that time, he was not talking about any hate crime," he said.
Mr. Trump has made no public comments about the attack.

Q: How to replace form_for with form_with for sessions I am new to Ruby-on-Rails. Currently, in my login form I have
<%= form_for(:session, url: login_path) do |f| %>

I want to replace form_for with form_with. I have tried:

and
<%= form_with model: :session, url: login_path do |f| %>

But in both cases I get errors in the session controller.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

It was forecast to be another fine day in the northeast, so I decided on another day of SOTA. I loaded up the car and headed to Mount Beauty to visit the Bakery to grab something for lunch later in the day. From there, I worked my around to Mountain Creek Road and up to Trappers Creek Gap and made the sharp turn left to start the climb up Eskdale Spur Track. The track was in reasonable condition for most of the way to the first target summit, with a few fallen trees to negotiate.
As I approached the cleared area at the summit, I noticed an addition since my previous visit: an Emergency Marker. The site is a well-known hang glider launch site.
I parked and found a site to set up the station partially in the shade, with just the right amount of sun on my back. I started on 40 m CW. My apologies to a couple of callers: my brain just was not decoding…. First in the log was Garry VK2GAZ followed by Gerard VK2IO. I called several times with no further responses, so swapped to SSB. I had a mixture of SSB and CW contacts – I asked some CW regulars who called on SSB to also work me on CW. With nine contacts in the log, I swapped to 80 m SSB and worked three stations. I was then called on CW and changed modes to work Steve VK7CW. With 4 CW contacts and 13 altogether (some which would not count for the SOTA overall tally), I decided to close down and move north.
The next section of Eskdale Spur Track was a little rough in places, with some damp rutted areas, fallen timber on the edges encroaching on the track and the usual large spoon drains. I progressed reasonably well to the close to the next summit, parked near the junction with the old track (see comments below about tracks being rerouted), loaded up and climbed up to well inside the activation zone – about 500 m horizontally.
I quickly set up and spotted myself on 80 m SSB. I soon had four contacts in the log. I swapped to 40 m and worked Gerard VK2JNG/p in VKFF-2638. I spotted myself on CW and soon had six contacts in the log. I moved up the band and worked three more on SSB before I ran out of callers and closed down after about 35 minutes of calling.
I returned to the car and continued on to the next parking spot at the junction with the closed track to the summit. This section of track was in good condition apart from a couple of small sections on the south side of Mt Yorke.
I believe that the summit height is overstated by 100 m for this summit, so it should be downgraded to only 6 points at some stage in the future, when the next update for the VK3 Association occurs. Eskdale Spur Track previously ran to very close to the summit, but like many other summits, the tracks have been rerouted around the summit to contour around at a lower altitude. The southern end of the old route has been well disguised, but the track from the northwest is still very obvious, but with trees dropped across the track and a large earth mound not very far up the old track. It is simple to walk up to an old track junction only just below the summit.
After setting up, I spotted and called on 80 m SSB. Geoff VK3SQ and Duncan VK3XBC were quickly in the log. Several minutes of calling brought no replies, so I swapped to 40 m CW. I worked seven stations. I moved up the band to work SSB and quickly had Tony VK7LTD/p on VK7/SC-045 in the log. I soon had three more in the log. I could see discussion traffic that Wade VK1MIC/3 was on air in Hepburn Regional Park. I could hear Wade at 31, but he could not hear me. Wade later indicated that he was on 80 m, and when I tuned to the frequency I could hear him at about 42-52, but again no luck in completing a contact. Time was getting on and I was aware that Mitch VK3XDM/p was expected to be on a summit at around 1500 local. I quickly packed up, returned to the car and headed north.
The section of the track to the junction with Bowman No 1 Track was good, but the surface deteriorated after that – there had been relatively recent work done on the track, but the surface was loose at times, plus the usual spoon drains and fallen timber to dodge. The distance to travel between VK3/VE-071 and Mount Tawonga is only about 5 km.
The eastern side of the track was burnt – I suspect a controlled burn had occurred, as it was only the undergrowth and litter that had burnt, with no evidence of damage at any height up the taller trees. There was a new track south along the spur which I did not explore – again probably associated with the burn. The burn may also explain why the track had been "resurfaced".
Mitch was on his summit and on air by time I arrived at Mt Tawonga. I quickly set up away from the car and turned to 80 m. Mitch VK3XDM/p on Mountain No 3 VK3/VE-033 was first in the log. I moved up the band and worked Geoff VK3SQ and Duncan VK3XBC. Cliff VK2NP called but had me as a marginal contact and did not have my report to him. I tried calling Cliff on CW, but had no responses. My apologies Cliff, I should have persevered on voice. When I returned to SSB, he was not responding. Next was Steve VK7CW on CW, followed on 40 m CW by John VK4TJ, John ZL1BYZ and Andre ZL1TM – summit qualified on CW. With no more callers, I moved to work 40 m SSB. I soon had five more contacts in log. With no more callers after several minutes of calling, I closed down and packed up.
I retraced my route a short distance to the south and descended Bay Creek Track. This was steep in places, with the usual fallen timber, rocks on the track and large spoon drains, plus some rough areas. Near the bottom, one has to negotiate a gate. You are then soon on a better road and then on the bitumen and arrive at Mongans Bridge. Cross the narrow bridge and you are soon on the Kiewa Valley Highway.
It was then just the matter of driving back to Wodonga.

"We have a lot of mental health problems in our country, as do other countries. But this isn't a guns situation," he said. "Fortunately somebody else had a gun that was shooting in the opposite direction."
Tokyo: US President Donald Trump on Monday called the mass shooting in Texas that left at least 26 people dead in a church a "mental health problem," not "a guns situation."
Asked what policies he might support in response to the shooting at a press conference in Tokyo, Trump said that based on preliminary reports, the gunman was "a very deranged individual, a lot of problems."
The lone gunman carrying an assault rifle opened fire Sunday after entering First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs, about 65 km (40 miles) east of San Antonio, killing worshippers ranging in age from 5 to 72.
After the shooting, the suspect, described as a white man in his 20s, was fired on by a local resident. He fled in his vehicle and was later found dead in a neighboring county.
It was not immediately clear if the suspect killed himself or he was hit by gunfire by the resident, authorities said.
Trump is in Japan for the start of a 12-day trip through five Asian nations.

View Full Version : Why do I love/loath songs?
while every time I hear "Hey Jude" by the Beatles I hate it even more?
Hmmm, length of time between the two comes to mind. When the first song is as old as the second one, you may well be tired of it too.
Why do you think it has anything to do with neurology? Maybe you associate the songs with specific events or parts of your life? Maybe you were brought up listening to certain music?
And even if there is some neurological component, I suspect the science is not sophisticated enough to distinguish biological causes of Montanas vs. Beatles.
...reminds me of just this morning, while grocery shopping. A Beatles song (can't recall which), and later "Ruby Tuesday." And I thought, "Another Beatles song, hmmm."
My taste in music has changed over the years. Stuff that used to really get me going is now, "Again??" Totally worn out. I'm developing a taste for Jazz.
There are many variables besides one's taste and generation. Take an average song you like and then go 2 weeks without hearing any song whatsoever. Play that song and see what a difference it makes. In the days of 8-track and while at sea for two weeks, there was no music until we got close to Ireland. Someone had a radio and on came Creedence Clearwater Revival. Wow, was that great!
while every time I hear "Hey Jude" by the Beatles I hate it even more?I think that's just bad taste, not neurology.
But seriously, I believe no-one has established quite why music is so effective at lighting up emotional responses in our brains. Stephen Pinker called it "auditory cheesecake", suggesting that music was a fine-tuned distillation of the auditory patterns our brains automatically link to emotion because picking those patterns out from background noise once provided us with some sort of survival value. Levitin's book This Is Your Brain On Music was considered to be a partial rebuttal of Pinker's stance, but I haven't read it.
There are songs I play on Youtube quite frequently that I love, and I don't get tired of them. But I never liked "Hey Jude". But maybe you have a point.
But I never liked "Hey Jude". But maybe you have a point.
Maybe a guinea pig I had years ago "had a point." She'd trill sweetly to Elvis, but trill angrily to The Beatles.
Maybe Quentin Tarantino is right about Elvis vs The Beatles.
I was indifferent to the Beatles until I heard Day Tripper. Hearing that bass intro was a unique experience that I still enjoy.
It's really hard to tell what might turn you off to a certain song. A lot of people like the song, so there's nothing inherently loathsome about it. Sometimes people have preferences. For example, I've never been a big fan of cheerful songs, but tat's sort of my personality. I Want to Hold Your Hand was never a big favorite of mine.

Eleanor Rigby is a nice sad song.

The Scottish comedian Billy Connolly came up with a "Country & Western Supersong" entitled "My Granny's A Cripple In Nashville (https://www.flashlyrics.com/lyrics/billy-connolly/the-c-w-super-song-35)".
What happens when you play country music backwards?
:) The unabridged Cliffsnote's version likely mentions that this was when Nashville was relocated inland, or is there a Nashville, Scotland?
Your dog comes back to life, you get your job back, your wife returns to you... I think you are allowed up to 9 returns when played backwards, or is that only for rock?
