\section{Introduction}
Energy, momentum and angular momentum have long been issues in
General Relativity, since it is difficult to find definitions with
satisfactory properties for a general space-time, though they make
sense for weak gravitational fields, with physical properties
familiar from flat space-time \cite{MTW}. For an asymptotically flat
space-time, there is an accepted notion of total energy-momentum at
infinity, satisfying the Bondi energy-momentum flux equation,
whereas angular momentum is more delicate: there is an accepted
definition at spatial infinity but not at null infinity, and
therefore no accepted flux equation. In the strong-field regime,
flux equations in the form of conservation laws have recently been
found for black holes, specifically for trapping horizons
\cite{bhd}, for both energy \cite{bhd2,bhd3} and angular momentum
\cite{bhd4,bhd5}.

All these results measure energy or angular momentum on a spatial
surface, usually of spherical topology, with flux equations
concerning a flow of such surfaces. For a general flow of general
surfaces in a general space-time, it seems unlikely that physically
meaningful conservation laws exist. However, there is a
geometrically preferred type of flow which has been called uniformly
expanding \cite{mon}, for which an energy conservation law was
recently found \cite{gr,BHMS}, with the same form as that for black
holes. This article derives the corresponding conservation law for
angular momentum, which also has the same form as that for black
holes.

The article is organized as follows. Sections II, III and IV
respectively review uniformly expanding flows, a dual-null formalism
and conservation of energy. Section V describes angular momentum,
Section VI its conservation and Section VII concludes.

\section{Uniformly expanding flows}
General Relativity will be assumed, with space-time metric $g$.
Consider a flow of spatial surfaces $S$, i.e.\ a one-parameter
family $\{S\}$, locally generating a foliated hypersurface $H$.
Labelling the surfaces by a coordinate $x$, they are generated by a
flow vector $\xi=\partial/\partial x$, which can be taken to be
normal to the surfaces, $\bot\xi=0$, where $\bot$ denotes projection
onto $S$. Given a normal vector $v$, $\bot v=0$, a Hodge duality
operation yields a dual normal vector $v^*$ satisfying
\begin{equation}
\bot v^*=0,\quad g(v^*,v)=0,\quad g(v^*,v^*)=-g(v,v).\label{nd}
\end{equation}
In particular,
\begin{equation}
\tau=\xi^*
\end{equation}
is normal to $H$, with the same scaling as $\xi$ (Fig.\ref{normal}). The
coordinate freedom here is just $x\mapsto\tilde x(x)$ and choice of transverse
coordinates on $S$, under which all the key formulas will be invariant.

\begin{figure}
\includegraphics[height=15mm]{jgrg15_3.eps}
\caption{A non-null hypersurface $H$ foliated by spatial surfaces
$S$, with generating vector $\xi$ and its normal dual $\tau=\xi^*$.
If $H$ becomes null, $\xi$ and $\tau$ coincide.} \label{normal}
\end{figure}

The expansion 1-form
\begin{equation}
\theta={*}d{*}1\label{exp}
\end{equation}
where $*$ denotes the Hodge operator of $S$ and $d$ the exterior derivative in
the normal space, yields the expansion
\begin{equation}
\theta_v=\theta(v)={*}L_v{*}1
\end{equation}
along a normal vector $v$, where $L$ denotes the Lie derivative. One can also
introduce the unit-expansion vector
\begin{equation}
\eta=g^{-1}(\theta)/g^{-1}(\theta,\theta)
\end{equation}
where the metric sign convention is that spatial metrics are positive
definite. Then $\eta$ and its dual $\eta^*$ have expansions
\begin{equation}
\theta_\eta=1,\quad\theta_{\eta^*}=0.
\end{equation}
Other names for $g^{-1}(\theta)$ and $\eta$ are mean-curvature vector and
inverse mean-curvature vector respectively.

A {\em uniformly expanding flow} \cite{mon,gr,BHMS} is a one-parameter family
of surfaces on which both the expansion $\theta_\xi$ of the flow and the dual
expansion $\theta_\tau$ are constant on the surfaces:
\begin{equation}
D\theta_\xi=D\theta_\tau=0.\label{uef}
\end{equation}
Equivalently, such flows are given by
\begin{equation}
\xi=a(\eta+c\eta^*),\quad Da=Dc=0
\end{equation}
and thereby generalize inverse mean-curvature flows from codimension 1 to
codimension 2.

\section{Dual-null formalism}
It is convenient to use a dual-null formalism \cite{dn,dne},
describing two families of null hypersurfaces $\Sigma_\pm$,
intersecting in a two-parameter family of spatial surfaces,
including the desired one-parameter family. Relevant aspects of the
formalism are summarized as follows. This material is not new, but
included to provide a self-consistent treatment.

Labelling $\Sigma_\mp$ by coordinates $x^\pm$ which increase to the
future, one may take transverse coordinates $x^a$ on $S$, which for
a sphere would normally be angular coordinates
$x^a=(\vartheta,\varphi)$. Writing space-time coordinates
$x^\alpha=(x^+,x^-,x^a)$ indicates how one may use Greek letters
$(\alpha,\beta,\ldots)$ for space-time indices and corresponding
Latin letters $(a,b,\ldots)$ for transverse indices. The coordinate
basis vectors are $\partial_\alpha=\partial/\partial x^\alpha$ and
the dual 1-forms are $dx^\alpha$, satisfying
$\partial_\beta(dx^\alpha)=\delta^\alpha_\beta$. Coordinate vectors
commute, $[\partial_\alpha,\partial_\beta]=0$, where the brackets
denote the Lie bracket or commutator. Two coordinate vectors have a
special role, the evolution vectors $\partial_\pm=\partial/\partial
x^\pm$ which generate the dynamics, spanning an integrable evolution
space. The corresponding normal 1-forms $dx^\pm$ are null by
assumption:
\begin{equation}
g^{-1}(dx^\pm,dx^\pm)=0.
\end{equation}
The relative normalization of the null normals may be encoded in a function
$f$ defined by
\begin{equation}
e^f=-g^{-1}(dx^+,dx^-).\label{ff}
\end{equation}
The transverse metric, or the induced metric on $S$, is found to be
\begin{equation}
h=g+2e^{-f}dx^+\otimes dx^-\label{tm}
\end{equation}
where $\otimes$ denotes the symmetric tensor product. There are two shift
vectors
\begin{equation}
s_\pm=\bot\partial_\pm
\end{equation}
where $\bot$ is extended to denote projection by $h$. The null normal vectors
\begin{equation}
l_\pm=\partial_\pm-s_\pm=-e^{-f}g^{-1}(dx^\mp)\label{nn}
\end{equation}
are future-null and satisfy
\begin{eqnarray}
&&g(l_\pm,l_\pm)=0,\quad g(l_+,l_-)=-e^{-f},\nonumber\\
&&l_\pm(dx^\pm)=1,\quad l_\pm(dx^\mp)=0,\quad\bot l_\pm=0.\label{ls}
\end{eqnarray}
The metric takes the form
\begin{eqnarray}
g&=&h_{ab}(dx^a+s_+^adx^++s_-^adx^-)\otimes\nonumber\\&&(dx^b+s_+^bdx^++s_-^bdx^-)
-2e^{-f}dx^+\otimes dx^-.
\end{eqnarray}
Then $(h,f,s_\pm)$ are configuration
fields and the independent momentum fields are found to be linear combinations
of the following transverse tensors:
\begin{eqnarray}
\theta_\pm&=&{*}L_\pm{*}1\label{ex}\\ \sigma_\pm&=&\bot L_\pm h-\theta_\pm h\label{sh}\\
\nu_\pm&=&L_\pm f\label{in}\\
\omega&=&{\textstyle\frac12}e^fh([l_-,l_+])\label{tw}
\end{eqnarray}
where $L_\pm$ is shorthand for the Lie derivative along $l_\pm$. Adding
indices explicitly, the functions $\theta_\pm$ are the null expansions, the
traceless bilinear forms $\sigma_{\pm ab}$ are the null shears, the 1-form
$\omega_a$ is the twist, measuring the lack of integrability of the normal
space, and the functions $\nu_\pm$ are the inaffinities, measuring the failure
of the null normals to be affine. The fields
$(\theta_\pm,\sigma_\pm,\nu_\pm,\omega)$ encode the extrinsic curvature of the
dual-null foliation. These extrinsic fields are unique up to interchange
$\pm\mapsto\mp$ and diffeomorphisms $x^\pm\mapsto\tilde x^\pm(x^\pm)$ which
relabel the null hypersurfaces. It will also be convenient to use capital
Latin letters $(A,B,\ldots)$ for normal indices, when not denoted by $\pm$ in
the dual-null basis. Then the configuration fields are $(h_{ab},f,s_A{}^b)$,
the momentum fields are $(\theta_A,\sigma_{Abc},\nu_A,\omega_a)$ and the
derivative operators are $(\bot L_A,D_a)$, where $D$ is the covariant
derivative operator of $h$.

Returning to a general foliated hypersurface $H$, a normal vector $v$ has
components $v^\pm$ along $l_\pm$, so that $v=v^+l_++v^-l_-$, and its normal
dual is $v^*=v^+l_+-v^-l_-$. In particular, the generating vector is
\begin{equation}
\xi=\xi^+l_++\xi^-l_-\label{xi}
\end{equation}
and its dual is
\begin{equation}
\tau=\xi^+l_+-\xi^-l_-.\label{tau}
\end{equation}
Since $H$ is given parametrically by functions $x^\pm(x)$, the
components $\xi^\pm=\partial x^\pm/\partial x$ are constant on the
surfaces:
\begin{equation}
D\xi^\pm=0.\label{dxi}
\end{equation}
The expansion 1-form (\ref{exp}) is given by
\begin{equation}
\theta=\theta_+dx^++\theta_-dx^-
\end{equation}
so that the expansion along a normal vector $v$ can be expressed as
\begin{equation}
\theta_v=\theta_Av^A
\end{equation}
and in particular, $\theta_\xi=\xi^+\theta_++\xi^-\theta_-$ and
$\theta_\tau=\xi^+\theta_+-\xi^-\theta_-$. The conditions (\ref{uef}) defining
a uniformly expanding flow can then be expressed in terms of the null
expansions as
\begin{equation}
D\theta_+=D\theta_-=0
\end{equation}
unless the flow is null, in which case $\xi=\pm\tau$ and the two expansion
conditions become one.

\section{Conservation of energy}
The energy conservation law \cite{mon,gr,BHMS} will be stated here for later
comparison, modifying some notation. Assuming compact $S$ henceforth, the
transverse surfaces have area
\begin{equation}
A=\oint_S{*}1
\end{equation}
and the area radius
\begin{equation}
R=\sqrt{A/4\pi}
\end{equation}
is often more convenient. The Hawking mass \cite{Haw}
\begin{equation}
M=\frac
R2\left(1-\frac1{16\pi}\oint_S{*}g^{AB}\theta_A\theta_B\right)\label{hm}
\end{equation}
can be used as a measure of the active gravitational mass or energy on a
transverse surface. Here units are such that Newton's gravitational constant
is unity.

An energy conservation equation requires a vector playing the role of a
stationary Killing vector. For a general compact surface, the simplest
definition of such a vector which becomes unit for round spheres in flat
space-time is \cite{bhd2,bhd3}
\begin{equation}
k=(g^{-1}(dR))^*.\label{time}
\end{equation}
This vector actually was found to be the appropriate dual of $M$, in the sense
of conservation laws for black holes \cite{bhd2,bhd3} and for uniformly
expanding flows \cite{gr,BHMS}. In either case, the energy conservation law
can be written as
\begin{equation}
L_\xi M\cong\oint_S{*}(T_{AB}+\Theta_{AB})k^A\tau^B \label{ec}
\end{equation}
where $\Theta$ is an effective energy tensor for gravitational radiation. This
determines only the normal-normal components of $\Theta$, as
\begin{eqnarray}
\Theta_{\pm\pm}&=&||\sigma_\pm||^2/32\pi\label{Theta0}\\
\Theta_{\pm\mp}&=&e^{-f}|\omega\mp{\textstyle\frac12}Df|^2/8\pi\label{Theta1}
\end{eqnarray}
where $|\zeta|^2=h^{ab}\zeta_a\zeta_b$ and
$||\sigma||^2=h^{ac}h^{bd}\sigma_{ab}\sigma_{cd}$. Further discussion is
referred to \cite{bhd2,bhd3,gr,BHMS}.

\begin{figure}
\includegraphics[height=3cm]{jgrg15_1.eps}
\caption{A transverse vector $\psi$.} \label{transverse}
\end{figure}

\section{Angular momentum}
The angular momentum of a surface in a flow, as a functional of an
axial vector $\psi$, is defined following \cite{bhd4,bhd5} as
\begin{equation}
J[\psi]=\frac1{8\pi}\oint_S{*}\psi^a\omega_a \label{am}
\end{equation}
where $\omega$ is the twist (\ref{tw}). Since the twist encodes the
non-integrability of the normal space, it provides a geometrical
measure of the twisting around of space-time due to rotational
frame-dragging. It is an invariant of a dual-null foliation and
therefore of a non-null foliated hypersurface $H$, so $J[\psi]$ is
also an invariant. The definition was obtained from the Komar
integral \cite{Kom} and shown to recover the standard definition of
angular momentum for a weak-field metric \cite{MTW}, with the twist
being directly related to the precessional angular velocity of a
gyroscope due to the Lense-Thirring effect.

Following \cite{bhd4,bhd5}, the axial vector will be assumed to be transverse,
$\bot\psi=\psi$ (Fig.\ref{transverse}), to be a coordinate vector
$\psi=\partial/\partial\varphi$ on $H$, implying
\begin{equation}
L_\xi\psi\cong0 \label{lie}
\end{equation}
and to have vanishing transverse divergence:
\begin{equation}
D_a\psi^a\cong0. \label{div}
\end{equation}
The last condition holds if $\psi$ is an axial Killing vector, and can be
understood as a weaker condition, equivalent to $\psi$ generating a symmetry
of the area form rather than of the whole metric, since
$L_\psi({*}1)={*}D_a\psi^a$. Alternatively, assuming that the integral curves
$\gamma$ of $\psi$ are closed, it can always be satisfied by choice of scaling
of $\psi$. It implies that $\psi$ is locally the curl of some function, whose
equipotentials are $\gamma$.

In the situation normally envisaged for angular momentum, $S$ would have
spherical topology and $\gamma$ would form a smooth foliation of circles,
covering the surface except for two poles (Fig.\ref{axial}), with the
coordinate $\varphi$ identified at 0 and $2\pi$. In fact, such conditions play
no role in the conservation law to be derived in the next section, which
requires only the conditions (\ref{lie})--(\ref{div}) on transverse $\psi$.
Note also that the commutator identity \cite{dne}
\begin{equation}
L_\xi(D_a\psi^a)-D_a(L_\xi\psi)^a=\psi^aD_a\theta_\xi \label{com}
\end{equation}
which then forces
\begin{equation}
\psi^aD_a\theta_\xi\cong0 \label{con}
\end{equation}
is automatically satisfied for uniformly expanding flows (\ref{uef}). This can
be seen as a motivation for the divergence-free condition (\ref{div}), since
(\ref{lie}) already forces $L_\xi(D_a\psi^a)\cong0$ for a uniformly expanding
flow. This is quite different to the situation for black holes
\cite{bhd4,bhd5}. Thus there is a large family of conservation laws,
corresponding to angular momentum about different axes. In the case of
spherical topology, one can choose any two points on an initial surface as
poles, and any set of circles $\gamma$ interpolating smoothly between them,
then there will exist a vector $\psi$ with integral curves $\gamma$ satisfying
(\ref{div}). The condition (\ref{lie}) then propagates $\psi$ along the flow.

\begin{figure}
\includegraphics[height=25mm]{jgrg15_2.eps}
\caption{Integral curves $\gamma$ of an axial vector $\psi$.} \label{axial}
\end{figure}

\section{Conservation of angular momentum}
The rate of change of angular momentum (\ref{am}) along the flow, using
(\ref{lie}), is
\begin{equation}
L_\xi
J\cong\frac1{8\pi}\oint_S{*}(\theta_\xi\psi^a\omega_a+\psi^aL_\xi\omega_a).
\end{equation}
The twisting equations
\begin{eqnarray}
\bot L_\pm\omega_a&=&-\theta_\pm\omega_a\pm\textstyle{\frac12}D_a\nu_\pm
\mp\textstyle{\frac12}D_a\theta_\pm\mp\textstyle{\frac12}\theta_\pm
D_af \nonumber\\
&&\qquad\qquad{}\pm\textstyle{\frac12}h^{cd}D_d\sigma_{\pm ac} \mp8\pi
T_{a\pm}\label{twisting}
\end{eqnarray}
were obtained from the Einstein equations, where
$T_{a\pm}=h_a^\gamma T_{\gamma\beta}l_\pm^\beta$ is the
transverse-normal projection of the energy tensor $T$ \cite{gwbh}.
They can be used to express
\begin{eqnarray}
\bot L_\xi\omega_a&=&-\theta_\xi\omega_a+\tau^B(\textstyle{\frac12}D_a\nu_B
-\textstyle{\frac12}D_a\theta_B-\textstyle{\frac12}\theta_BD_af \nonumber\\
&&\qquad\qquad\quad{}+\textstyle{\frac12}h^{cd}D_d\sigma_{Bac}-8\pi
T_{aB}).
\end{eqnarray}
Then
\begin{eqnarray}
L_\xi J&\cong&-\frac1{8\pi}\oint_S{*}\psi^a\tau^B\Big(8\pi
T_{aB}-\textstyle{\frac12}h^{cd}D_d\sigma_{Bac}\nonumber\\
&&\qquad\quad{}-\textstyle{\frac12}\left(D_a\nu_B
-D_a\theta_B-\theta_BD_af\right)\Big).
\end{eqnarray}
Now the terms in $D\nu$ and $D\theta$ may be removed as total divergences due
to (\ref{dxi}) and (\ref{div}). To remove the term in $\theta Df$ generally
requires
\begin{equation}
\psi^aD_a\theta_\tau\cong0.
\end{equation}
Clearly this would be generally inconsistent with (\ref{con}), specifically
if $\theta_\xi$ and $\theta_\tau$ have different equipotentials. However, it
is consistent in three special cases: (i) for null $\xi$, since then
$\xi=\pm\tau$; (ii) along a trapping horizon $\theta_\pm\cong0$, since then
$\theta_\xi=\mp\theta_\tau$ \cite{bhd4,bhd5}; and (iii) for a uniformly
expanding flow (\ref{uef}). In each case, this leaves just the $T$ and
$\sigma$ terms, with the latter expressible in terms of the transverse-normal
block
\begin{equation}
\Theta_{aB}=-\frac1{16\pi}h^{cd}D_d\sigma_{Bac} \label{Theta2}
\end{equation}
of the effective energy tensor for gravitational radiation. Finally the
desired conservation law for angular momentum is obtained as
\begin{equation}
L_\xi J\cong-\oint_S{*}(T_{aB}+\Theta_{aB})\psi^a\tau^B. \label{amc}
\end{equation}
Apart from the inclusion of $\Theta$, this is the standard surface-integral
form of conservation of angular momentum, were $\psi$ an axial Killing vector.
The null shears $\sigma_{\pm bc}$ have previously been identified in the
energy conservation law (\ref{ec}) as encoding the ingoing and outgoing
transverse gravitational radiation, via the energy densities (\ref{Theta0})
\cite{bhd2,bhd3}. So the expression (\ref{Theta2}) implies that gravitational
radiation with a transversely differential waveform will generally possess
angular momentum density.

\section{Conclusion}

The conservation laws (\ref{ec}) and (\ref{amc}) take a similar
form, expressing rate of change of mass $M$ and angular momentum $J$
as surface integrals of densities of energy and angular momentum,
with respect to vectors $k$ and $\psi$ which play the role of
stationary and axial Killing vectors. They also take the same form
as the corresponding conservation laws for black holes
\cite{bhd2,bhd3,bhd4,bhd5}, with the effective energy tensor
$\Theta$ for gravitational radiation also taking the same form
(\ref{Theta0}), (\ref{Theta1}), (\ref{Theta2}).

This provides further evidence for the utility of the definition
(\ref{am}) of angular momentum in terms of the twist, and of
uniformly expanding flows. However, the question of existence of
such flows is generally unresolved \cite{BHMS} except for a
time-symmetric hypersurface, where weak flows have been proven to
exist \cite{Bra,HI}. Another caveat is that an initial surface
should be chosen carefully, in particular not being highly
distorted, if the physical interpretation is to be plausible. While
no comprehensive prescription is known, it would be reasonable to
restrict to topologically spherical surfaces with positive Gaussian
curvature. Given a black hole, one could choose a marginal surface
to be propagated outward. In an asymptotically flat space-time, one
could could propagate inward a suitable surface at null infinity,
such as those provided by the recent unified framework for null and
spatial infinity \cite{inf}. Since the Bondi energy flux law can
also be written in the conservation form (\ref{ec}), this also
offers hope to resolve the issue of angular momentum at null
infinity.

Tigerair bounces off record low on Taiwan JV plan
Tiger Airways Holdings' shares jumped 3 per cent on Monday, off an all-time low hit last week, encouraged by the company's plan to form a joint-venture budget carrier in Taiwan. -- ST FILE PHOTO: JOYCE FANG
https://str.sg/wpJA
SINGAPORE (Reuters) - Tiger Airways Holdings' shares jumped 3 per cent on Monday, off an all-time low hit last week, encouraged by the company's plan to form a joint-venture budget carrier in Taiwan.
Tigerair, in which Singapore Airlines owns about a third stake, said it would hold a 10 per cent stake in Tigerair Taiwan, the new joint venture with China Airlines, in a bid to tap the budget air travel market in North Asia.
Tigerair also signed an agreement with Indian budget airline SpiceJet to enhance connectivity between flights operated by both carriers, and formed a partnership with Scoot, a medium-to-long haul low-cost carrier owned by Singapore Airlines.
Tigerair's share price rose 3 per cent to $0.515, off an all-time low of $0.495, as the broader market edged lower. The share price has fallen 25 per cent so far this year as the carrier struggled with stiff competition.
"This is an encouraging move, but the question is whether they can really move the needle," said Timothy Ross, head of Asia-Pacific transport research at Credit Suisse in Singapore.
"They will take aircraft from Tiger's fleet that are currently under-utilised, which is positive for cash flow and return on investment. But obviously that begs the question why they have not been adequately employed."
In a separate announcement, Singapore Airlines' Scoot said the company planned to establish a new Bangkok-based low-cost carrier with Nok Airlines Public Co.

Q: Adode CC createjs ticker examples ive got a button in Adobe CC anime , which has a listener on it, to play music everytime i press it. Code is that :
   this.playmusic.addEventListener("click", loadHandler.bind(this));
function loadHandler() {

     createjs.Sound.stop();
     createjs.Sound.play("soundenergy");
 }

but i want when i click on the button and music starts to be a setInterval(?) which makes it clickable or playable after 10 seconds or less/more.
i was thinking something about that , but i cant figure it out:
createjs.Ticker.addEventListener("tick", loadHandler);
this.playmusic.addEventListener("click", loadHandler.bind(this));
function loadHandler() {
     Ticker._interval = 50;
     createjs.Sound.stop();
     createjs.Sound.play("soundenergy");
 }

A: I don't recommend using the EaselJS Ticker class. It is used for an application heartbeat, and currently only supports one global ticker. If you set the interval, it will affect all animations, tweens, etc.
If you want to have something happen, you could store the previous time, and then check the next time to determine how often you want something to happen:
var lastTime = 0;
function tick(event) {

    // Check the time diff
    var time = new Date().getTime();
    if (time > lastTime + 5000) {
        // Do something every 5 seconds
        makeEnemy();
        lastTime = time;
    }

    // Update the stage
    stage.update(event);
}

Otherwise, @CrisMVP3200 comment is right. Consider using setInterval for a repeating event, and setTimeout for a single asynchronous callback after a delay.
Cheers.

Talking About "Sexting" With Your Kids
Photo by Daria Nepriakhina on Unsplash
Common Sense MediaErin Khar
commonsense
This article by Caroline Knorr first appeared on Common Sense Media and has been republished with permission.
Sexting among teens may not be the epidemic parents have been warned about. But despite education efforts and cautionary tales, it's still, unfortunately, pretty common. While experts differ on statistics, a research report in the June 2019 edition of JAMA Pediatricsfound that at least one in four teens receive sexually explicit texts and emails. At least one in seven teens send "sexts." Why do they do it? To show off, to entice someone, to show interest in someone, or to prove commitment. Or even as a joke. Teens' developing interest in sex, an impulse to experiment, and apps that make sexting easy -- and acceptable -- create an environment that some teens find irresistible.
Though some experts tell parents not to "freak out," sexting is associated with sexual risks, such as using drugs and alcohol, having more sexual partners, and not using contraception. Another big risk is kids' personal privacy. As far too many teens have found out, the recipient of these messages is in possession of a highly compromising image or message that can be easily posted on a social networking site or sent to others via email or text.
In a technology world where anything can be copied, sent, posted, and seen by huge audiences, there's no such thing as being able to control information.
The intention doesn't matter -- even if a photo was taken and sent as a token of love, for example, the technology makes it possible for everyone to see your child's most intimate self. In the hands of teens, when revealing photos are made public, the sexter almost always ends up feeling humiliated. Furthermore, sending sexual images to minors is against the law, and some states have begun prosecuting kids for child pornography or felony obscenity.
There have been some high profile cases of sexting. In 2018, a sexting scandal ensnared several Virginia middle school students. In 2015, a Colorado high school was rocked by a sexting scandal involving hundreds of students. In 2009, Cincinnati teen Jesse Logan committed suicide after a nude photo she'd sent to a boyfriend was circulated widely around her high school, resulting in harassment from her classmates.

Fortunately, networks with large teen audiences -- MTV, for example -- are using their platforms to warn teens against the dangers of sexting. And the website ThatsNotCool.comuses teen-speak to help resist cyber peer pressure. Even the movie Eighth Grade reveals the ambivalence kids feel about the pressure to join the trend. Hopefully, these messages will get through.
Don't wait for an incident to happen to your child or your child's friend before you talk about the consequences of sexting. Sure, talking about sex or dating with teens can be uncomfortable, but it's better to have the talk before something happens.
Remind your kids that once an image is sent, it can never be retrieved -- and they will lose control of it. Ask teens how they would feel if their teachers, parents, or the entire school saw the picture, because that happens all the time.
Talk about pressures to send revealing photos. A study by Michigan State University found that many teens are sexually harassed online by their peers. Let teens know that you understand how they can be pushed or dared into sending something. Tell them that no matter how big the social pressure is, the potential social humiliation can be hundreds of times worse.
Teach your children that the buck stops with them. If someone sends them a photo, they should delete it immediately. It's better to be part of the solution than the problem.

New CPS Analysis Shows Where Schools Prosper — And Where They Don't
Sarah Karp
WBEZ/Bill Healy
Chicago Public Schools CEO Janice Jackson says she wants "to start having honest conversations with community members and not make decisions for them."
Chicago Public Schools released a controversial analysis Friday that breaks down the number of students in each area of the city, the types of schools in these areas, their academic performance, and whether the schools have room for more students.
School district officials say this is all publicly available data, but by putting it in one place, they want schools and communities to use it to make the case why they should be awarded a particular type of program, such as International Baccalaureate, fine arts, or STEM.
But some CPS observers are concerned this data book, called the Annual Regional Analysis, also highlights where schools are severely under-enrolled. They fear it will be used to justify another round of school closings. CPS closed a record 50 schools in 2013. After a five-year moratorium on closings lifted this year, CPS voted in February to close or phase out four high schools.
On Friday, CPS CEO Janice Jackson said "this is not about closing schools."
"My approach is simple, we have to start having honest conversations with community members and not make decisions for them," Jackson said. She said she is hoping the data book shows people there are more good schools in their community than they are aware of and that it will spur the creation of more.
"My approach is to start with the investment, to make people excited about the schools in their community, and to bring people back to schools in those communities," she said.
She said the school system is also rolling out a multistep process for schools to apply for specialty programs. In the past, school district officials mostly have anointed schools with such programs, sometimes because the principals and parents wanted them and other times without them being requested.
With the Annual Regional Analysis, Jackson says schools can see what their community needs and argue for it. She insisted it is a guide for school district investment to will create more equity.
But some of the suspicion about the Annual Regional Analysis is fueled by the organization, Kids First, the district worked with to create it. Kids First had two previous iterations, New Schools For Chicago and the Renaissance Schools Fund. Both organizations helped provide seed money for new schools, including charter schools, that have helped lead to the depopulation of some neighborhood schools on the South and West sides
Kids First Chief Executive Officer Daniel Anello praised the school district for releasing the analysis.
"By openly sharing this data with communities throughout the city, the district is standing by their commitments to enhance transparency, listen to community members, and find new solutions that come directly from our neighborhoods," Anello said.

The Supreme Court on Monday in Abuja struck out an appeal filed by Sen. Magnus Abe, challenging the primary election conducted by the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers state.
Abe had approached the court asking it to make clarification on which of the two primary elections was authentic in the eyes of the law.
However, the APC through its counsel, Mr Jibrin Okutekpa(SAN) objected to hearing of the appeal arguing that names of persons affected by the suit were not listed on the notice of the appeal.

Q: How to get rid of sawtooth offset
I have a sawtooth oscillator, and I am trying to get it so that there is an average voltage of 0, so that I can later waveshape. Any idea how I can achieve this?
UPDATE: I have added a filter to the output, which has given the required output. However it will only run for a few seconds and then experiences an error. Is this a simulation glitch or is something connected wrong?

A: You can't have a \$V_{rms}\$ of 0 while also having a waveform that has nonzero amplitude, so I'm assuming you mean an average voltage of 0. In that case, consider adding a capacitor to your output, \$10-100\mu F\$ will likely work, followed by a large resistor to ground, such as 10k.

simulate this circuit – Schematic created using CircuitLab
This creates an RC high pass filter with \$f_c=10Hz\$ which is much smaller than your frequency of \$1kHz\$, so it should introduce minimal distortion to your signal.

A: The only way to get an output voltage of 0 VRMS is to maintain a zero volt output. If the output deviates from zero you will have a non-zero RMS voltage.
Maybe you mean an average or mean voltage of 0 V? If so, then please update your question.

A: To answer the question in your update:
I don't really see any issues with your circuit itself, but maybe try disconnect the ground from terminal B on the oscilloscope, as that might be causing the floating B+ terminal to enter the SPICE simulation.
If that doesn't work, I recommend that you use the convergence assistant to resolve the error (a prompt should pop up when the simulation breaks). If that doesn't work, it could be something to do with your simulation settings (e.g. software tolerance). Follow the various steps listed on the National Instruments website to adjust simulation settings to accommodate for a simulation error: https://knowledge.ni.com/KnowledgeArticleDetails?id=kA00Z0000019RqVSAU

Good news for India tourists - no more state restrictions
26.04.2011 In: Travel destinations
Next time a tourist to India wanting to visit Mount Abu and then wants to drive down to Gujarat, he will not be required to contact tour operators in Gujarat separately.
The Indian Times reports that tourists can contact either the Gujarat Tourism Department or the Rajasthan Tourism Department to assist in making arrangements, irrespective of the state the traveler wants to visit, thanks to a promotion of interstate tourism.
In order to bring in tourists to Gujarat and to market its sight-seeing places, the state tourism department has entered into a pact with Rajasthan, Karnataka, and Punjab for interstate tourism.
It has already started selling North Gujarat with Rajasthan. The department is promoting Shamlaji, Kesariyaji, Udaipur, Chittorgadh, Haldighati, Nathdwara, Charbhuja, Ranakpura, and Mount Abu in Rajasthan, along with Ambaji, Kumbharia, Modhera, and Bahucharaji in Gujarat.
Officials said that while Gujarat is interested in the tourists who are visiting Rajasthan, the neighboring state is willing to target the non-resident Gujaratis (NRGs) who come during the winter months to their home town.
Tourism secretary Vipul Mittra said that the state has already entered into a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Rajasthan and Karnataka for interstate tourists and also Punjab, which has a large number of NRI visitors and tourists. The senior bureaucrat added that the tour operators of both the states would meet regularly and would market the tourism sights from each other's states.
While from Rajasthan, the state would be targeting foreign tourists, from Punjab the department will target religious tourists. He said that if Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra tourism departments also tie into the promotion, the state would be in a position to offer the entire western part of India to any tourist as one single destination.
"The MOUs will help towards mutual promotion of tourism, showcasing each other's cultural heritage to the tourists and felicitating inbound travel into the respective states," Mittra said.
Officials from the tourism department said that according to the deal, the states would mutually market their accommodations and tourism packages. Sources said that next in line is Goa, where the state wants to promote wildlife and religious tourism along with beach tourism.
Manish Sharma, president of the Gujarat Association of Tour Operators said that signing the MOU is in the interest of the state: "Rajasthan has been promoting Gir, and the effect is that schools from Rajasthan have visited Gir for watching the Asiatic lions. Tourists coming to Rajasthan come for heritage tourism, and the operators offer Gir, Somnath, and Buddha tourists together." Sharma said that this is a beginning and more and more tourists would be coming to the state in the near future.
He said: "A person coming to a tour operator in Rajasthan is offered a joint package. Once he takes up the package, the operator in Rajasthan takes care of the tourist till he is in their state and later hands over the tourist to their counterpart in Gujarat who further plans his tour. It is a win-win situation for both the operators."

Session M04: Multimessenger Astrophysics and Cataclysmic Events II
Chair: Jeff Blackmon, Lousiana State University
Room: Gaines
M04.00001: Multimessenger astrophysics with neutrinos and gamma rays in the coming decade
Invited Speaker: Marcos Santander
The study of the gamma-ray sky has revealed a large population of extreme astrophysical objects capable of emitting electromagnetic radiation up to the highest observable energies, in the PeV range. The discovery of TeV-PeV astrophysical neutrinos by IceCube provides a complementary view of the high-energy sky that, in combination with gamma-ray observations, can address many pressing questions in astrophysics. Some of these include the origin of cosmic rays, the nature of transient sources, and the properties of extreme astrophysical environments. In this talk I will present a summary of recent results is neutrino and gamma-ray astrophysics and discuss what new advances may be enabled by next-generation observatories over the coming decade. [Preview Abstract]
M04.00002: Detecting gravitational waves from unexpected sources.
Invited Speaker: Marek Szczepanczyk
The detection of gravitational waves (GWs) from merging binary black holes in 2015 was a pivotal point that gave birth to GW Astronomy. Since then, LIGO and Virgo have observed many binaries, primarily black hole mergers, but also binary neutron stars and neutron star-black hole coalescences. These detections provide new insight into our Universe, and some of these events question our understanding of the Universe. For example, the discovery of an intermediate-mass black hole was unexpected and challenged the current astrophysical models. While we regularly observe binaries, some sources are yet waiting to be discovered. One of them is a core-collapse supernova that is an explosion of a massive star. Astronomers observe them regularly with optical telescopes, but we have not yet observed GWs from them. The searches for such unexpected, unknown, or poorly-modeled sources benefit from methods that use minimal assumptions on the signal morphology, typically referred to as burst methods. In my talk, I will discuss some of the recent discoveries of LIGO and Virgo in the context of burst searches. I will also talk about the prospects for the detection of GWs from a core-collapse supernova. [Preview Abstract]
M04.00003: Multiresolution Gabor regression of transient gravitational-wave signals.
Sergey Klimenko
The analysis of the gravitational-wave transient signals embedded into a non-stationary detector noise requires the identification of time-dependent spectral components in the resulting time series. This talk presents a Gabor regression method where a stack of wavelets with different windows spanning a wide range of resolutions, is used to scan power at each time-frequency location. Such a wavelet scan (or ``wavescan'') extends the conventional multi-resolution analysis to capture the local variations of power due to the temporal and spectral leakage. To achieve the high-resolution localization, a wavelet, least affected by the leakage, is selected from the stack at each time-frequency location. The presented method is used to obtain the high-resolution time-frequency distribution of the signal power, extract signals from noise in the wavelet domain, and reconstruct the corresponding time-domain waveforms. To demonstrate the performance of the method for detection of GW signals, the multiresolution Gabor regression is applied to the analysis of the gravitational wave data from the LIGO detectors. [Preview Abstract]
M04.00004: A Force Explosion Condition for Spherically Symmetric Core-collapse Supernovae
Mariam Gogilashvili, Jeremiah Murphy
Understanding which stars explode leaving behind neutron stars and which stars collapse forming black holes remains a fundamental astrophysical problem. We derive an analytic explosion condition for spherically symmetric core-collapse supernovae. The derivation starts with the exact governing equations, considers the balance of integral forces, includes the important dimensionless parameters, and includes an explicit set of self-consistent approximations. The force explosion condition is $\tilde{L}_\nu\tau_g - 0.06 \tilde{\kappa} > 0.38$, and only depends upon two dimensionless parameters. The first compares the neutrino power deposited in the gain region with the accretion power, $\tilde{L}_\nu \tau_g = L_{\nu} \tau_g R_{\rm NS}/ ( G \dot{M} M_{\rm NS})$. The second, $\tilde{\kappa} = \kappa \dot{M} / \sqrt{G M_{\rm NS} R_{\rm NS}}$, parameterizes the neutrino optical depth in the accreted matter near the neutron-star surface.Using numerical, steady-state and fully hydrodynamic solutions, we test the explosion condition. The success of these tests is promising in two ways. One, the force explosion condition helps to illuminate the underlying physics of explosions.Two, this condition may be a useful explosion diagnostic for 3D radiation hydrodynamic core-collapse simulations. [Preview Abstract]
M04.00005: CSP-II: Near-infrared Spectroscopy of Stripped-Envelope Supernovae
Melissa Shahbandeh, Eric Hsiao, Chris Ashall
We present 76 NIR spectra of 35 stripped-envelope supernovae obtained by the Carnegie Supernova Project-II, encompassing optical spectroscopic Types IIb, Ib, Ic, and Ic-BL. The spectra range in phase from pre-maximum to 80 days past maximum. This unique data set constitutes the largest NIR spectroscopic sample of SESNe to date. NIR spectroscopy provides observables with additional information compared to observations in the optical. The NIR contains the resonance lines of He I and allows a more detailed look at whether Type Ic supernovae are completely stripped of their outer He layer. The NIR spectra of SESNe have many similarities, but closer examination through statistical means reveals a strong dichotomy between NIR He-rich and He-poor SNe. These NIR subgroups correspond to the optical IIb/Ib and Ic/Ic-BL types, respectively. The largest difference between the two groups is observed in the 2 $\mu$m region, near the He I $\lambda$2.0581 $\mu$m line. The division between the two is not an arbitrary one along a continuous sequence. Early spectra of He-rich SNe show stronger He I $\lambda$2.0581 $\mu$m absorption compared to the He-poor SNe, but with a wide range of profile shapes. This line also provides evidence for trace amounts of He in half of our He-poor SNe. [Preview Abstract]

Previous to working at Marquette, you were employed as a capital campaign consultant. How does working for a university differ from working in a consulting position?
As an alumnus, I have a vested interest in the advancement of Marquette University. I enjoy working for an organization with which I have such a personal relationship. Returning to campus to see all of the changes since I graduated was an incredible experience. Marquette is truly an institution on the rise. As a development director, I know I can make a direct impact on the future of my alma mater.
How does Marquette University's mission impact you in your daily work?
The Marquette mission pervades every school, college, department and office on this campus — you cannot escape it, nor would you want to. My work in University Advancement very directly supports our students and faculty, who really live out our mission of leadership, faith, service and excellence.
What is your favorite thing about working for Marquette?
How would you describe the University Advancement team?
The University Advancement team is a vibrant mix of individuals who have a singular focus of bringing resources to this university. We share common and well-defined goals at work, but our personal interests vary greatly. This keeps life interesting.

Balkumar Singh was featured in a 2009 episode of America's Most Wanted MINEOLA, N.Y. – Nassau County District Attorney Madeline Singas announced that a Guyanese man who killed a 19-year old wedding guest and injured another man at a Hicksville wedding in 1999 pleaded guilty today to murder charges. Balkumar Singh, believed to be 38 years of age, pleaded guilty in front of Supervising Judge Christopher Quinn to murder in the second degree (an A-I violent felony) and assault in the first degree (a B violent felony). The defendant is due back in court on December 12 for sentencing. Singh faces 19 years to life in prison. "This defendant senselessly shot and killed an innocent teenager at a wedding because of a dance floor dispute, then fled the country to evade justice," said DA Singas. "Thanks to the commitment and dogged pursuit of the U.S. Marshals, the Nassau County Police Department and our prosecutors, Abzal Khan's killer will now be held accountable for this despicable murder." DA Singas said that on June 13, 1999, the defendant attended a wedding reception at the Masonic Hall on West Nicolai Street, Hicksville. Singh brought a 9mm firearm to the reception and became involved in an altercation on the dance floor. After the incident the defendant left the party and waited outside for Abzal Khan. As the victim exited the temple, Singh took his gun out and fired multiple times, striking Khan seven times. Witnesses described Singh as standing over Khan's body while shooting him and the incident was witnessed by a crowd of at least 20 people. A 22-year old man, also attending the wedding, was shot in the foot and survived. The defendant, who had multiple aliases, ran from the scene and fled the country within days of the murder. He is believed to have traveled to Canada and Guyana before he was apprehended in Trinidad. On July 19, 1999, the Nassau County District Attorney's Office filed an indictment charging the defendant with the crimes to which he ultimately pleaded guilty. Singh, also known as Tevin Persaud, was featured in a 2009 episode of the America's Most Wanted television show. Based on a tip, the defendant was provisionally arrested by Trinidadian authorities in March 2015. The Nassau County District Attorney's Office began the extradition process and Singh was returned to the United States on August 14, 2015, by members of the Nassau County Police Department Homicide Division, who worked in conjunction with U.S. Marshals. Assistant District Attorneys Jessica Cepriano and Victoria Mauri of DA Singas' Major Offense Bureau are prosecuting the case. Singh is represented by Andrew Monteleone, Esq.

Jaclyn Heckle and Cody Allums met me out at beautiful Lake Eola for their downtown engagement in the heart of Orlando. Since the two were down to try any spot I recommended, I thought we would venture to Lake Eola Park for a fun session.
My lovebirds actually met while Jaclyn was working aftercare at her school. At the time she had middle and high school students for a couple of hours everyday. Megan and Taylor, who just so happened to be Cody's sisters, were part of her group and noticed a spark when between their brother Cody and Jaclyn when he picked them up from school one afternoon. The next day Jaclyn happened to ask Taylor what her brother's name was because she thought he was cute, which Taylor responded with his name… and asking for her number! Jaclyn of course laughed it off saying that Cody could ask for it if he liked. Walking out to the carpool line to meet her mom who was picking her up that day, Taylor grabbed a piece of paper and pencil and run back in. She was determined and told Jaclyn that she still needed her number. Her persistence won out and Jaclyn obliged to giving her number.
Cody in complete shock of his persistent and very sweet sister when back in the next day to let Jaclyn know that he had not asked for his sister to get her number, but was appreciative she did. He asked for Jaclyn to accompany him on an official first date – without sisters – hehe. From that first date on the two became inseparable.
Not long after dating, Cody was ready to propose to Jaclyn. The two had become close and it was as though they were meant to be together from the start. The night before planning to propose to Jaclyn, the two shared dinner a lovely dinner at his parent's house. Cody had wanted to take Jaclyn to the beach to propose the next day, but it was so hard to keep the ring secretive in his pocket. Waking up that morning, Cody couldn't wait any longer and asked for her hand in marriage. Jaclyn of course said, "yes" and the two spent the day together celebrating the moment.
I always love asking my couples about their wedding plans and the advice they have received in planning. The best advice that Jaclyn said they received so far and that should would love to share with others would be to enjoy their day and not do everything on their own. Having friends and family help out will take the weight off of their shoulders so that they can just enjoy the moment.


Long before the snow starts falling, when my toes are brightly manicured and my legs are still tanned, I start clipping recipes for holiday cookie inspiration. They sit neatly organized in red and green files on my desk, and that's where they usually remain, untouched and unloved. Once the holiday madness hits, who's got time to play with new recipes? Time and time again, regardless of my good intentions, I return to my favorite no-bake chocolate peanut butter truffle balls, a recipe I can whip up easily, without even turning on the oven.
If you're looking to dazzle your friends and family with a new holiday cookie this year, but don't want to make your life any more complicated, give this no bake peanut butter chocolate truffle recipe a try. These truffle balls are rich and addictive, but they only taste like you slaved over them for days. No one needs to know that you threw them together without breaking a sweat.
Just make sure you keep a few on hand in your fridge to get you through the holidays. Just one of these little balls of chocolate bliss is all I need to keep me zen during the holiday mayhem.
These addictive chocolate peanut butter truffles will dazzle your friends and family but keep you zen during the holiday baking frenzy.
Pour the Oreos in a bowl and crush with a meat cleaver. This is my type of holiday therapy! Alternatively, you could put them in two ziplock bags (one inside the other) and tell your kids to go nuts on them. Once the Oreos are in coarse chunks, place them in the food processor and pulse them a few times.
Add the cream cheese and the peanut butter to food processor and pulse until well blended. This is tough work for your mixer, and should make you pause and appreciate the conveniences of modern life! You will have to open the lid and move the contents around many times until you get the right consistency. You'll know when you're done. The mixture will be glistening, dark, and smooth.
Chill in fridge for 30 minutes to an hour hour.
Melt the chocolate in the microwave in 30 second increments, stirring with a dry spoon until smooth and beautiful.
Dip oreo balls in chocolate. This can be messy if you don't use a spoon. Resist the temptation to use your fingers or you will have unappetizing fingerprints on your Oreo balls. I prefer to dump the balls one by one in the melted chocolate, move them around with a spoon and scoop them out with the same spoon once they're thoroughly covered onto a wax paper covered cookie sheet.
Decorate the balls with sprinkles if desired. I prefer a smoother coating. My kids like them covered with sprinkles. To each his own.

Q: How to get current locale with i18next / react-i18next? I'm new to react-native and I'm trying to get current locale from the device of the user. For now, I have 2 versions of my app : french and english. It works fine when I change the fallback language I do have the two versions of the app. But I can't manage to change the language directly from the device.
We can change manually, but if we have set french language on device then we can't get french language directly.

import i18next from 'i18next';
import {initReactI18next} from 'react-i18next';

const languageDetector = {
  type: 'languageDetector',
  async: true,
  detect: cb => cb('en'),
  init: () => {},
  cacheUserLanguage: () => {},
};

i18next
  .use(languageDetector)
  .use(initReactI18next)
  .init({
    fallbackLng: 'en',
    debug: true,
    resources: {
      en: {
        translation: {
          hello: 'Hello world',
          change: 'Change language',
        },
      },
      sv: {
        translation: {
          hello: 'Hallo!',
          change: 'Goedemorgen',
        },
      },
    },
  });

export default i18next;

App.js
import React from 'react';
import { Text, View, TouchableOpacity } from 'react-native';
import { useTranslation } from 'react-i18next';
import './src/Traslations'

export default function App() {
  const { t, i18n } = useTranslation();
  return (
    <View style={{ flex: 1, justifyContent: 'center', alignItems: 'center' }}>
      <Text style={{ fontSize: 20, marginBottom: 20 }}>{t('hello')}</Text>
      <Text style={{ fontSize: 20, marginBottom: 20 }}>{t('change')}</Text>

      <TouchableOpacity style={{backgroundColor: 'pink'}} onPress={() => i18n.changeLanguage(i18n.language === 'nl' ? 'en' : 'nl')}>
        <Text>{t('change')}</Text>
      </TouchableOpacity>
    </View>
  );
  }

A: Your languageDetector uses en as a fallback lang...
Make Sure that the language-prefix you choose in your device is sv <<-- the key you're having in your i18n setup...
const languageDetector = {
  type: 'languageDetector',
  async: true,
  detect: cb => cb('en'), // <<---- here
  init: () => {},
  cacheUserLanguage: () => {},
};

Instead
You'd want to pass current-device-lang
import { Platform, NativeModules, Dimensions } from 'react-native';
const getDeviceLang = () => {
  const appLanguage =
    Platform.OS === 'ios'
      ? NativeModules.SettingsManager.settings.AppleLocale ||
        NativeModules.SettingsManager.settings.AppleLanguages[0]
      : NativeModules.I18nManager.localeIdentifier;

  return appLanguage.search(/-|_/g) !== -1
    ? appLanguage.slice(0, 2)
    : appLanguage;
};

detect: async callback => {
  const deviceLang = getDeviceLang();
  callback(appLanguage);
},

More details could be found here with a working sample...

A: i18next.resolvedLanguage or i18next.language or i18next.languages may help.

Sky of Bombs, Sky of Stars: A Vietnamese War Orphan Finds Home Reviews
CM Magazine
"Sky of Bombs, Sky of Stars: A Vietnamese War Orphan Finds Home is literary nonfiction; that is, a true, researched, factual story which uses some of the narrative techniques of fiction writing, such as 'showing, not telling', description, dialogue, and interior monologue. The attractive cover, showing a girl drawn in silhouette looking at stars (or maybe explosions), and the vivid storytelling, may give some young readers the impression that the book is a novel. Reading on, the photographs of helicopters, tanks, fleeing crowds, and rows of babies in boxes in an aircraft reveal that this story has a particular historical setting. But the picture on Page 71 personalizes the story. It shows a Vietnamese girl with two parents and three younger children in a Canadian living room. The fact that Tuyet is real, not a fictional character, will make the book compelling for young readers….
The story ends with a significant incident that demonstrates Tuyet's physical and psychological progress. The historical note, the information about polio, the list of resources and, above all, the author's note, are very useful to readers in getting the most out of Sky of Bombs, Sky of Stars. In giving young Tuyet her own unique voice and vividly presenting her joys and anxieties in a carefully structured story, Marsha Forchuk Skrypuch has created an excellent work of literary nonfiction. Tuyet, she says, is her hero, and indeed Tuyet will be a hero to the young people who read this inspiring story.
—Ruth Latta's most recent novels are historical nonfiction, including Votes, Love and War, (Ottawa, Baico, 2019). Ruth resides in Ottawa, Ontario.

CanLit for LittleCanadians
"For young readers who have not had the privilege of reading Marsha Forchuk Skrypuch's award-winning non-fiction books about Son Thi Anh Tuyet, a child rescued from Saigon at the end of the Vietnam War and who finds a new life in Canada, Sky of Bombs, Sky of Stars offers an omnibus of the two earlier stories….
Marsha Forchuk Skrypuch consistently tells stories about young people challenged during historical times and how they rise above the adversity to make lives for themselves. Tuyet's is such a story. She was a little girl alone, feeling her life limited to work and caring for others, never expecting much for herself. But with an airlift out of Saigon and the love of a compassionate family, Tuyet builds something new and begins to see herself as the incredible person she has always been, beyond what service she provides. Fortunately, by putting both Tuyet's stories together in an omnibus, Marsha Forchuk Skrypuch and Pajama Press will help young readers get the whole story, saving them from a search for sequels or determining which book came first. Sky of Bombs, Sky of Stars truly gives young readers the more complete story of a Vietnamese war orphan's journey from hardships and horror to hope and home."
Band of MG Books (@bandofmgbooks)
"If you are looking for middle grade historical fiction and nonfiction, I enthusiastically recommend any book by Marsha Forchuk Skrypuch. When you pick up Sky Of Bombs, Sky Of Stars: A Vietnamese War Orphan Finds Home, you'll get two fascinating and award-winning biographies in one—Last Airlift: A Vietnamese Orphan's Rescue from War & One Step at a Time: A Vietnamese Child Finds Her Way….
[Tuyet's] compelling story is full of bravery and perseverance. Readers are given such an incredible window to a refugee's experience and the obstacles they must overcome in an unfamiliar place. Tuyet shares her traumatic experiences and thoughts candidly, especially about her worries of having surgery…I enjoyed the many pictures included and was happy to put a face to the name of strong, kind Tuyet and her wonderful adoptive family.
Sky Of Bombs, Sky Of Stars will be an excellent non-fiction addition to any library."

There's your new neighbor, stooping and choring. You haven't met him yet, but you want to like him. You tell yourself that. Salt of the earth. In him you see what you want to see. And you want to see something good. Benefit of the doubt. And you hope he sees something good in you too. Nothing unfit, nothing unstable, nothing irregular. So you wave at him and he waves back and smiles and returns to his roses or daylilies or marigolds and you see him glance back your way as you climb into your car and brush the food wrappers from the seat onto the floor and check your makeup in the mirror and pull on your seatbelt and you wonder if he is still looking and he isn't.

Karabakh and Shusha in the painting of the Azerbaijani artist Sattar Bahlulzade
Describing the nature of Karabakh in a painting was a lifelong dream of Azerbaijani artist Sattar Bahlulzade. In 1956, Sattar Bahlulzade first went to Shusha, Karabakh, before visiting Tiflis (Georgia), where his solo exhibition was to be discussed.
"Jidir Plain"
In the book named "Sattar Bahlulzade" published in 1959 by the Azerbaijani art critic Rasim Afandiyev, it is noted that "Shusha enchanted him (Sattar Bahlulzade) with its magnificent beauty, unique alpine meadows, and mountain peaks covered with eternal snow caps." Here he spent 3 months. During this period the artist made more than 70 paintings, on the basis of which he painted such landscape works as "Jidir Plain" (in translation from Azerbaijani, it means horse racing field – it is a plain area in the southern part of Shusha) (1956-1957), as well as "Near Shusha", "Yukhari Dashalti", "Chakmag forest" (1956-1957), "Smoky mountains", "Karabakh landscape" (1957), "In Karabakh" (1959), "Karabakh motif" (1950-s).
[R. Afandi. Sattar Bahlulzade. 1959, p. 25-26; 65]
[Art of Soviet Azerbaijan. Fine art. Graphic. Sculpture. 1970, p. 146]
[Essays on the fine arts of Soviet Azerbaijan. 1960, p. 98]
[Z. Aliyev. An innocent man of a sinful world or romanticism of Sattar Bahlulzade. 1974, p. 17;39;41;64;69;78]
Sattar Bahlulzade's landscapes of Karabakh express the magnificence and beauty of this land, the strong contours of snow-white mountains and rocks, breadth of fields and rich green forests. In all these landscapes, the artist praises the beauty of intact, virgin nature. Unlike the Guba works (Guba city, Azerbaijan), these paintings are less "lively" in nature – the artist's lyrical excitement is expressed in them. Sattar Bahlulzade's painting "Chakmag Forest" depicts the state of nature at sunset, while the paintings "Jidir Plain" and "Near Shusha" are based on harmony of cold and dark tones – blue and green, orange, red and yellow.
"Yukhari Dashalti"
"Chakmag forest"
Rasim Afandiyev considered the painting "Yukhari Dashalti" (Dashalti – a village near Shusha) to be the most successful of this series of Karabakh landscapes. He noted:
"The painting depicts the characteristic landscape of Nagorno-Karabakh. Early in the morning, the last star has just gone out. A majestic silhouette of a snowy mountain peak can be seen above the silver-white mist. S.Bahlulzade skillfully described the most accurate range of color transitions. And that's why, when you look at this landscape, you imagine all nature in motion – the clouds are gradually disintegrated by the first life-giving rays of sun, and a beautiful mountain panorama is revealed. In this work, Bahlulzade's painting becomes bolder and more confident, and sometimes the artist is amazed how quickly he can finish his work, which is very difficult in terms of coloristic point of view. The paint tone found in the palette falls on the canvas freely and gently, in the form of broad brush marks, leaving the proper highlights on the untouched parts of the canvas. The movement of the brush repeats the rhythm of clouds and reflects the shape of rocks".
[R. Afandi. Sattar Bahlulzade. 1959, p. 26]
"Karabakh motif"
"Near Shusha"
Later, Sattar Bahlulzade's works "Jidir Plain" (1956-1957), "Near Shusha", "Yukhari Dashalti" and other works dedicated to Karabakh were exhibited at the All-Union Art Exhibition dedicated to the 40th anniversary of the October Revolution held in Moscow (November 5, 1957 – March 16, 1958). In these paintings, one can feel the infinite expanse of the fields, the harsh majesty of the snow-white mountains and steep rocks, the pink bloom of the fertile gardens, and sometimes the decorative excess attaching to the external effect.

[Azerbaijani artists. Sattar Bahlulzade. 1958, p. 3]
"In Karabakh"
Sattar Bahlulzade presented the paintings "Karabakh Landscape" and "Near Shusha" to Shikhali Gurbanov, secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Azerbaijan.
[Z. Aliyev. An innocent man of a sinful world or Sattar Bahlulzade romanticism. 1974, p. 78]
Sattar Bahlul oghlu Bahlulzade was born on December 2 (15) 1909 in the village of Amirjan (present Amirjan settlement) near Baku. He mainly painted landscapes, thematic paintings, still lifes and portraits. Among his works are: "Babak Uprising" or "Defence of Bazz Castle" (1940), "Guba Khan Fatalikhan" (1946), "The Shore of Gudyalchay" (1953), "Among the Gardens" (1954), "Amirjan" (1957), "Evening on the Caspian Sea" (1959), "Along the Kur" (1961), "The Beauty of the Caspian" (1964), "Awakening" (1965), "Spring in My Country" (1967), "Tale of Azerbaijan" (1970), "Ancient Fires of Surakhani", "Portrait of Fuzuli", "Nakhchivan Motif" (1971); "Conversation with God" (1973) etc. In 1960, he was awarded the title of Honored Artist, and in 1963 (1964) he was awarded the title of People's Artist of the Azerbaijan SSR. In 1972, he became a laureate of the Azerbaijan SSR state award. The artist died on October 13, 1974 in Moscow. He was buried in Amirjan settlement, Baku.

I've written about having problems with my Kidneys before. This time I would like to give some in depth information. Yes, some of it sounds too clinical but it's your body. If you don't know your own body how are you to know when something isn't right? We can't always depend on the Medical Community to advocate for us or to have all the answers. So try to stick with me while I use words even I have not heard of.
Along the way I'll inject some of my own results so maybe it will help to make sense.
Healthy kidneys are about the size of a computer mouse, but they do a lot of work. They filter all the blood in your body every 30 minutes, removing waste, toxins, and excess fluids.
Kidneys also help to control blood pressure, stimulate red blood cells, keep bones healthy and regulate chemicals in the blood essential to life.
A Renal Scan of my kidneys showed the left one was enlarged 6 times the normal size and my right kidney was the size of a grape.
Urine collects into a part of the kidney called the renal pelvis. From the renal pelvis the urine travels down a narrow tube called a ureter (each side has one) into the bladder. The bladder slowly fills with urine and empties from the body through another small tube the urethra.
Both of my ureters had thickened blocking the travel of urine. This is rare in adult women unless there is trauma/injury involved. In my case there wasn't. Usually doctors only see thickening in one ureter not both. They do see it in men with prostate cancer or some infants.
Each kidney is made up of tiny filters called nephrons. Nephrons can become damaged by diabetes, high blood pressure or other causes and stop working. When this happens it's called Chronic Kidney Disease, when not treated it can lead to Kidney Failure.
Early Chronic Kidney Disease really has no symptoms. It's usually suspected when a routine urine test is done. If blood and protein are found in your urine your Doctor should look into the cause of it. If just one or the other is found they should still do further testing.
Other than diabetes and high blood pressure, kidney stones, blood clots, scar tissue from surgery, cancer, or a congenital blockage can also be the cause. If it isn't treated as soon as possible the risk of permanent damage to your kidneys is high.
As CKD advances you may have pain in your sides and back. Abdominal pain and nausea are common too.
I had blood and protein in my urine for years. I also had pain in my sides and back. I was sent to 1 Urologist who performed 1 test and concluded that "Some people just have blood and protein in their urine for no reason". Turns out he was wrong.
The only answer I have is that I have Bilateral Ureteral Thickening that is Idiopathic (no known cause). Every 4 to 6 months I have to go under anesthesia to have the stents replaced that keep both ureters open. The human body is not meant to have these stents in permanently but when they tried taking them out 24 hours later I went into Kidney Failure again. I have constant pain on both sides at the bottom of my ribs and both sides of my back, my blood pressure is always too low and my body temperature stays at 93 to 94 degrees. My immune system is compromised so I get sick easily. I'm always tired. I have to drink an enormous amount of water which causes more pain and discomfort. My left kidney is the only one working at 70% the left is useless. Not one Doctor in the my State or the two surrounding me has answers. At some point the stents will stop working and they will have to make a hole coming out of each side of my back for a drainage tube that comes out and down your leg. The dressing has to be kept clean and changed often. It isn't pretty.
Do your research. If you think something more is going on and your Doctor isn't as helpful as you think they should be, find another one.
To this day I have not been given a special diet for my kidneys or told that I should have a Kidney Doctor. I was only told to stay away from dark tea and soda. Be your own advocate, I can't say it enough.
None of the Doctors can tell me how all of this works with my Bipolar medication either. I'm guessing it doesn't. Since this started I have not been the same. My family can tell you that. Below are pictures of different stents used, how my kidneys kind of looked except the left was bigger and the instrument used to place my stents through the urethra. Good thing there is anesthesia.

Conversion applications move a working host into its new virtual environment along with its stored application images in tow.
Unless VM guests are installed from 'bare metal' operating systems and application media, guest instances are converted from an existing stable VM that has a specific foot print that regards its memory needs, disk displacement plus future storage needs, network I/O requirements and settings, and needs for raw CPU power.
Converting that stable platform requires preserving many characteristics, including operating system-specific files, settings, and user and group attributes. On top of that, the servers must maintain access to external resources, such as DNS servers, certificate authorities, directory services, external databases, and the links that are components/resources to a working server.
Keeping all of these components in tact with causing as little server downtime as possible is a tall order that both PlateSpin and LeoStream take pretty successful stabs at it.
PlateSpin's PowerConvert aims to be an egalitarian provisioning product that seemingly doesn't care which virtual host platform you are working with. Its main goal is to help move a server process from point A to point B. In PlateSpin's realm, these points could exist in either the virtual or physical worlds, or have a foot in both. PlateSpin supports P2V, V2V, V2P, P2P conversions, P2I (physical to image), V2I, I2V and I2P deployment.
The key to PlateSpin's proposition is that it uses a procedure of conversion that's designed to provide at most, a single re-boot. This is obviously a beneficial trait in any conversion product because it minimizes server downtime. Likewise PlateSpin's product assists in hot failover and disaster recovery scenarios as essential services and other mission-critical systems can be mirrored in live or standby modes on physical or virtual backup resources. Of course, the one reboot claim comes with the caveat that you'd likely have to run several test conversions before attempting one on a live, mission-critical server.
PowerConvert analyzes candidate servers to take an inventory code and correlate services running on them. Once the systems are fully understood, the task of dragging a working system that may consist of just a few files and service profiles, or very many can proceed in various ways. The server's workload can be consolidated onto a larger server, converted in its entirety to a candidate virtual or physical resource that can serve as its replacement or run as a standby backup or archived into a image repository for backup or other purposes.
Installation of the PowerConvert server components requires the Microsoft .Net 2.0 framework running on the Windows 2003 Enterprise Server platform, which isn't included in the distribution. We had Windows 2003 running on a VM in our lab, but had to manually upgrade the system with thee required .Net components. We used both a CentOS 5 and Windows 2003 Enterprise Server to produce image archives, gold masters or build-groups of server/client operating systems that were typical configurations for running production servers, which we wanted to convert with the PlateSpin product.
We tested PowerConvert on both Virtual Iron and VMware virtualization platforms. It analyzed software running on both platforms quite well and understood the small differences in formatting between the two platforms perfectly.
The conversion process, whether scheduled or live, proceeds through a detailed step-by-step checklist that helps to pinpoint exactly where any conversion may have failed. If, during the conversion processes, there is a failure at any step, a helpful error code is registered. PlateSpin provides a searchable knowledge base of possible errors that can occur during any conversion and provides guidelines to remediate the issue.
We used PowerConvert to run the gamut of migrations, checking P2V (Windows and Linux) as well as V2V, I2V and V2I images of running platforms on the target platform. Processes included in these images are DNS, file/print services, networking configurations, and in the case of Linux, sendmail/procmail. The only glitch we encountered was occasionally, and not repeatedly, PowerConvert would be unable to stop services on Windows servers during P2V conversions.
However, simply fixing the error and restarting the process where it left off never worked for us; instead, we had to restart any failed conversion from the beginning, a measure that resulted in a complete conversion. An administrator needs to monitor and shepherd the process closely as SMTP alerts are the only method of knowing something's gone wrong in an unattended conversion. An upside is that the conversion(s) can be scheduled to run during quiet network time if the conversion process has been stabilized.
