USA captain Davis Love III was ecstatic after his side regained the Ryder Cup for the first time since 2008 on Sunday.
The USA led by three points going into the final day, and pressed home their advantage with a dominant performance in the singles to hammer Europe 17-11.
Love's team thumped Europe, with Ryan Moore delivering the winning point in his match-up with Lee Westwood after winning the last three holes.
The US lost only four of the 12 matches, with Matt Kuchar, Jimmy Walker, J.B. Holmes and Jordan Spieth the only players to lose.
For Love, watching USA regain the Ryder Cup after eight long years was a moment to savour and one he will never forget.
"We showed that we have a heart," he said. "We'd been kicked around for so long. When you keep losing you need to do something different. There was a shift in attitude but we all said we're going to do whatever it takes to win this thing again.
"I'm so proud that our guys handled the pressure. The Europeans played a lot of stunning golf. I mean, Phil Mickeslon had 10 birdies today and only got a half with Sergio Garcia.

Lena Johanna Therese Meyer-Landrut, född den 23 maj 1991 i Hannover, är en tysk sångerska (under artistnamnet Lena), låtskrivare och skådespelare. Hennes stora internationella genombrott kom i och med vinsten av Eurovision Song Contest 2010 för Tyskland med bidraget Satellite. Hon ställde även upp i Eurovision Song Contest 2011 med låten Taken by a Stranger och kom då på tionde plats.

Lena Meyer-Landruts farfar är den förre västtyske diplomaten i Sovjetunionen, Andreas Meyer-Landrut.

Biografi
Lena Meyer-Landrut har dansat regelbundet under sin barndom, allt från balett till jazz och hiphop. Innan hon blev känd gjorde hon hemmagjorda dansvideor och övade några gånger med skolbandet.

Efter Eurovision Song Contest 2009 startade Stefan Raab en talangtävling med titeln Unser Star für Oslo (Vår stjärna till Oslo) för att hitta en representant till ESC 2010. Lena Meyer-Landrut var en av 5 000 personer som deltog. I tysk TV sjöng hon bland annat My Same, ursprungligen av den brittiska sångerskan Adele, Foundations, tidigare med Kate Nash, och New shoes som framförts av Paolo Nutini. Hon kvalificerade sig slutligen för finalen som hölls den 12 mars 2010. Till finalen valdes låten Satellite ut för henne, och slutligen valdes hon av TV-publiken att representera sitt land i Oslo den 29 maj 2010. Där blev det seger för Lena Meyer-Landrut, vilket var Tysklands andra ESC-seger genom tiderna.

Satellite slog försäljningsrekord för nedladdningar och har blixtsnabbt klättrat till första plats på musiklistorna i Tyskland. Den 24 mars 2010 låg samtliga hennes singlar, Satellite, Bee och Love Me, som topp fem på tyska singellistan. Satellite gick den 28 maj 2010 som nykomling in på 41:a plats på svenska singellistan. Den 7 maj 2010 släpptes Meyer-Landruts första album My Cassette Player i Tyskland, och även det toppade snabbt de tyska listorna. I Sverige representeras hon av Lionheart International.

Förutom att sjunga har Meyer-Landrut under 2009 spelat med i enstaka avsnitt av de tyska TV-serierna Richter Alexander Hold och K11 – Kommissare im Einsatz samt medverkat i realityserien Helfen Sie mir!.

A contingency fee is what your lawyer is paid from whatever you are awarded in a personal injury case. The fee comes from the settlement or trial award. The fee is disbursed once the settlement is finalized with the insurance company. The benefit of a contingency fee, besides not paying your lawyer up front, is that you did not need to think about how many hours the lawyer works. The fee is based on a percentage of the ultimate award.
Before you begin a case with your attorney, make sure you have a written agreement. The agreement will detail what to expect once you do receive an award. It basically lays out the percentage that will be taken from the ultimate award and paid to the attorney. Your attorney will determine what percentage will be deducted, at the outset of your relationship, based on the following factors: the difficulty of the case, his or her experience in such cases, the severity of the injuries, how soon after the accident the attorney is hired, the likelihood of trial, and the unique needs of the client.
In the unusual circumstance that you are not awarded anything in your case, you will not have to pay your attorney's fee. In this kind of case, you know that your attorney wants to recover compensation for you as much as you do. Otherwise, all the time put into your case does not get compensated.
The experienced personal injury lawyers at the Law Offices of Jeffrey S. Glassman can assist you in determining whether to take an award as a settlement or go to trial. Call us today at (617) 367-2900 to discuss you case.

New Zealand police investigating bomb threat emails - cyber security agency
WELLINGTON (Reuters) - Police in New Zealand are investigating email threats received by some residents that claim explosive devices were hidden in their offices, the cyber security agency CERT NZ said on Friday after similar threats were made in the United States and Canada.
Police were working to confirm the validity of the threats, although they were likely to be an "opportunistic scam", the agency said. The emails claimed a bomb would be detonated unless an amount of ransom was paid in bitcoin.
A rash of bomb threats were emailed to hundreds of businesses, public offices and schools across the United States and Canada demanding payment in cryptocurrency but none of the threats appeared credible.
CERT NZ said the emails received by New Zealanders appeared to be very similar to those in the United States and Canada.

On 15 August, Taner Kılıç — the Honorary Chair of Amnesty International Turkey — was released from prison after over 432 days in prison.
Millions of people worldwide have taken action on this case, which has no doubt pressured the authorities, helping to secure Taner's release. But Taner and 10 other rights defenders are only out on bail, still facing "terrorism" related crimes – an absurd attempt to choke their human rights activism. Send a message to the Turkish Ministry of Justice now, demanding that all charges against Taner are dropped immediately.
Amnesty supporters started campaigning for Taner's release immediately after his arrest. For the next 14 months, staff and activists all around the world pressured the Turkish government to release Taner. More than a million people from 194 countries demanded Taner's freedom, including over 2000 New Zealanders.

Join EAA
Aviator or Pilot?
Posted on February 8, 2012 by Mac
My boss, EAA president and CEO Rod Hightower, likes the word aviator. And also aviate. I am pleased that Rod thinks of me as an aviator. But, as usual, some have groused about use of the title aviator and would rather think of themselves strictly as pilots.
Actually, pilot is an older title and predated aviation by many, many years. In its most common application, pilot is and remains the title of a person who guides a ship through the tricky conditions of a harbor. To this day all ships above a certain size are required to take on a pilot who has the local knowledge of the harbor that the ship's captain couldn't possibly have.
The pilot actually takes over responsibility for guiding the ship into the harbor and to the dock. When a ship sails a pilot is onboard to navigate it safely back out to open water.
A pilot can also be a device to show the way in other endeavors. For example, many airplane kits have pilot holes drilled in components. When the pilot holes are lined up the components are correctly in place and the remaining holes can be drilled and fasteners attached.
In the late 1800s France was the hotbed of aviation and people were flying all sorts of lighter than air machines. A descriptive term for the people who operated these aircraft was needed so aviator, from the French aviateur, was coined. Pilots were guiding ships into and out of harbors, but aviators were operating aircraft.
Aviator was commonly used even after the Wright brothers and others developed airplanes. Flying was a unique activity, to say the least, and it must have made sense to use a new and unique term to describe the people who operated aircraft.
Nobody knows for sure when the term pilot began to become synonymous with aviator, but I think it may have happened in the 1920 and 30s when governments began to license and regulate aviation.
Maritime pilots were already certified so it probably made sense, when it came to creating a licensing system for aviators, to call those people pilots, too. Many of the operational techniques and standards we use in aviation trace their routes to maritime traditions and standards so the idea of a captain being in command, or a pilot in command, made sense in aviation.
But aviator continues to have a broader meaning than pilot. For example, it would be correct to call a navigator or flight engineer or bombardier an aviator. I also think it is a compliment to call a pilot with well rounded and broad experience an aviator, something more than simply a pilot.
The U.S. Navy never shelved the term aviator and continues to call its pilots Naval Aviators, and flying activity Naval Aviation. Perhaps that is because the Navy was using pilots for hundreds of years before the first airplane flew and wants to emphasize the difference between maritime navigation and flying. I'm sure some Naval Aviator will set me straight on the real reason.
Of course there are several other terms for a pilot. The military typically calls the PIC an aircraft commander. If you were called the pilot on a Space Shuttle, you were actually the copilot to the commander. There is a pilot in command (PIC) on any airplane, and if there is only one pilot onboard, there is no question who holds that title. But when more than one pilot is in the cockpit, or even onboard the airplane, it is essential that only one be designated PIC and that person is called captain. Copilots are normally called first officers. First typically means head of the line, but in this case the first officer is second in command (SIC).
Then we have instructors and examiners who are also pilots in their own right, but we don't usually refer to them as pilots. For many years large airplanes carried flight engineer who were most often pilots, too, but they were called FEs, not pilots.
My point is that flying titles are sliced and diced in all manner of ways, but there is one term that describes anyone qualified to participate in the safe and effective operation of any type of aircraft and that is aviator. We all hold different pilot certificates and ratings, but if we are good at what we do in an aircraft we are aviators, and that's what I have always wanted to be.

Is A Crash A Crime?
In many countries accidents are considered to be criminal acts. Italy and Brazil come to mind as nations that have treated high profile aviation accidents as criminal acts by the pilots involved.
In Italy several years ago a U.S. military pilot flew into a ski lift cable system and a number of people on the lift were killed. The Italian government sought to prosecute the pilot. In Brazil an Embraer business jet on a delivery flight back to theU.S. collided with a Boeing 737 airliner causing the Boeing to crash killing all aboard while the Embraer crew was miraculously able to get the badly damaged business jet safely to a runway. The Brazilian courts prosecuted the Embraer pilots for a criminal act.
In theU.S. we have created a system that treats accidents as accidents, at least in the criminal sense. There is financial liability involved after most crashes, but the actions of those involved are treated by the government as mistakes, not willful actions that could be a crime.
This attitude toward accident investigation has helped make the U.S. aviation system the safest in the world. Everyone involved in the post-crash investigation knows that they can cooperate without fear of jeopardizing their freedom. It takes cooperation from all to uncover the chain of events that lead to crashes, and by knowing what caused an accident we can help prevent the same occurrence in the future. That's one of the essential reasons that NTSB findings are not admissible in courts. The NTSB must remain independent so all involved in an accident are encouraged to cooperate fully in the investigation.
But now a prosecutor and grand jury in Massachusetts are charging the pilot of a Cessna 310 with involuntary manslaughter. The pilot crashed the piston twin short of the runway in darkness killing his daughter, the only passenger.
The NTSB has not completed its investigation and issued a probable cause of the accident that happened in January of 2011, but it is the facts in the case that have driven the prosecutors and grand jury to bring charges.
The pilot/owner of the Cessna 310 did not have a multiengine rating. The NTSB reports the pilot had about 500 hours of total experience, and he had gone through a period of six or seven years of no flying before he purchased the 310. The NTSB believes he received approximately 50 hours of multiengine instruction but never attempted the check ride necessary to earn the multiengine rating.
Commanding an airplane that you are not rated to fly violates the most fundamental FAR. It is not possible the 310 pilot could not have known that he was not FAA approved to command the piston twin flying solo, and certainly not with a passenger.
The other basic rule that was broken is lack of night currency. The pilot had not logged the required three takeoffs and landings at night within the previous 90 days that are necessary to legally carry a passenger when flying in darkness.
The reality is that almost every accident involves at least some violation of the rules. After all, it is essentially illegal to crash. But is this accident different? Are the rules violations involved so willful and premeditated as to rise to the level of a criminal act?
We all deplore the actions of the 310 pilot and nobody can condone flying—much less carrying passengers—without being approved to do so. But I hate to see any aviation accident enter the nether world of the criminal court system.
To my thinking criminal sanctions are intended to deter others from committing the same illegal act and to punish the criminal to help prevent the convicted from breaking the law again. The criminal just system is designed to protect the rest of society from harm. And I am sure that the grand jury and prosecutors in this case believe they are issuing both a deterrence message and punishing the pilot.
But I think this is a bad trade. It's true the pilot's willful disregard of the rules helped put his passenger's safety at risk, and also increased the risk of people on the ground near the flight path. On the other hand, the cooperation of pilots and all others involved in accident investigations is so fundamental to improving safety that punishing one bad actor can have a chilling effect on all pilots and thus cause greater harm to overall flying safety.
This pilot killed his own daughter and I can't imagine a punishment more severe. As for prosecution acting as a deterrence I think it will only deter all of us from working to promote safety by uncovering all of the details of the chain of events that lead to most accidents.
Bottom line this was a terrible piece of flying, and that's true of many accidents. We must work to improve all of our flying abilities and procedures, not threaten to jail those who screw up. Safety will suffer.
Are Touchscreens Here to Stay?
Posted on January 25, 2012 by Mac
The Garmin GTN 750 touchscreen flight management system
Garmin is all in on touchscreen avionics. It will no longer build its wildly successful GNS 430/530 flight management systems which have been replaced in production by the GTN 700/600 series units that have touchscreen control. Garmin also has the G2000, G3000 and G5000 integrated flat glass systems that span the spectrum from piston single to the fastest business jet all using touchscreen control units.
And Garmin is by no means alone. Avidyne has announced development of touchscreen navigation and flight management control units. So has Bendix/King. And one of the biggest players of all, Rockwell Collins, has added touchscreen capability to its Fusion advanced flat glass avionics system for turbine airplanes.
We're living in a touchscreen world given the overwhelming acceptance of smart phones, iPads and all manner of personal electronic devices. Even a new refrigerator and clothes dryer has a touchscreen pad to command its operation. Why would aviation not join in the touchscreen revolution.
Garmin was first to market with an installed and certified touchscreen system when it introduced the GTN 750/650 about a year ago. Garmin had been showing me developmental versions of touchscreen avionics for a few years so I wasn't surprised. The GTN 750/650 was the product of extremely intensive research and development by Garmin because, well, they were betting the farm on superseding the GNS 400/500 series, the most successful avionics units in history.
From the first time I heard about, or thought about, touchscreen avionics I had two big concerns. The first was how well could we pilots operate a touchscreen device in turbulence. And the other thought was how long would it take for us to break the decades old habit of having knobs and buttons dedicated to performing the same function all of the time.
My concern about using a touchscreen in turbulent conditions is, I think, unfounded. My fear was based on some push button avionics systems from the late 1970s that, when mounted in a vertical position on an instrument panel, were hard to operate in the bumps. But Garmin addressed most of those issues by designing in a kind of raised ridge around the screen that allows you to grip with several fingers while using one to touch in commands. As touchscreens are integrated into new airplane designs the screens will be tilted off the vertical so your hand can rest on the edge of the screen making operation even easier.
The issue of transitioning from dedicated knobs and buttons to touchscreen menus is actually being resolved by our everyday lives. Most of us are spending so much time using touchscreen devices that it has, or quickly will be, the norm. When I call Exec Air and ask them to fuel the airplane I use a touchscreen. I typically use my smart phone to enter the flight plan into flightplan.com. I use a touchscreen in the car when I drive to the airport. So it's just natural that in the airplane touchscreens will be there.
The discussion of whether a touchscreen is easier or harder to use in the airplane is almost irrelevant. The real question is do touchscreens allow precise and desired control of our avionics? I think the answer is yes. And what flows from that is all sorts of benefits for the future.
Designing, certifying and manufacturing a touchscreen avionics system initially is probably about as complex, and costs about the same, as creating one with traditional buttons and knobs. But after that initial design, it's game over for the touchscreen. Almost any changes in avionics operation, or new technology, or new regulation, can be handled via the touchscreen through new programming. If the design of the system, or its menus, or the steps required for normal operation are not optimum, they can be improved as we gain experience. Buttons and knobs lock us into the now—actually the past when the equipment was designed–but the touchscreen keeps the door open for almost continuous change and improvement.
As good as the touchscreen is for performing most avionics functions there are some tasks that just can't be done better than with a twist knob or button. For example, can any control device beat a twist knob for setting the heading bug? No. Same for dialing in a baro setting, or a target altitude. Those types of simple and direct flying tasks we do dozens of times on every flight and have only a single level of complexity just can't be improved on, and they won't take on new forms and functions in the future.
Aviation must necessarily always be a step or two behind the newest technology because we only want to leave the ground using structural material and equipment with proven performance. But now, touchscreen technology is so embedded in all of our lives it's time for it to move into our cockpits. Garmin has sold more than 90 million various electronic devices for all manner of uses and most of those use touchscreens. Pretty good testing to get ready to fly.
Over Water Worries
I was chatting with EAA founder Paul Poberezny last week. What an amazing guy. Through a very unusual set of circumstances during his military career during World War II and then as an officer in the Wisconsin National Guard he was able to fly an enormous variety of airplanes.
Most military pilots stay with fighters, or bombers or transports, and fly only a relatively few types in their category. But Paul flew everything from trainers to transports to fighters to tankers. He was showing me his military logbooks that often had him flying a single seat fighter and a large transport in the same day.
Paul's career spanned the transition from pistons to jets and he regularly flew both at the same time after a pair of jet engines was added to the KC-97 tanker to give its four radial piston engines a boost. "Four churning and two burning is what we used to say about that one," Paul said.
I planned to fly back home from Oshkosh to the Muskegon airport in Michigan on the other side the lake that afternoon. Paul asked me "do you just keep climbing until you get to 10,000 feet or higher so that you can make it across the lake?"
With two engines on my Baron I really don't think much about engine failure over the water. The odds of losing both engines on one flight—if you have fuel onboard—is very remote. And holding altitude isn't much of a question because over the water 100 feet will do it. The only obstacle is the big sand dune that hugs the eastern shore of Lake Michigan and is about 200 feet high near the Muskegon airport.
Paul was unimpressed by my logic. "What about an airframe failure?" he asked. "What if a propeller blade breaks off, or some system fails and you want to get on the ground right away?"
I had not really considered that possibility. I guess it's the luxury of having been a pilot for only 40 years or so compared to Paul's 75 years of experience. I haven't flown through the really hairy days of aviation as he did.
It's easy from the distance of years to glamorize the "golden age" of piston engine flying in large and powerful airplanes. Those piston engines pumping out thousands of horsepower were stressed to the limits—and maybe beyond the limits we would accept today. It's hard to imagine the stress on a propeller being pounded by the pulse of 28 or more piston strokes generating 2,000, 3,000, or even a little more horsepower. Major failures had to be expected, and they did occur.
Lake Michigan itself also looms large for pilots in the middle of the country because unlike the four other Great Lakes, it must be considered on many trips. It's pretty easy to skirt the southern shore of the other Great Lakes, but Lake Michigan is a 330 mile long north-to-south water hazard waiting to drown any pilot unlucky enough to end up splashing into its icy water. Paul grew up and learned to fly in Milwaukee, and spent most of his military career flying out of Wisconsin, so the big lake was always a consideration for him. I grew up and learned to fly on the south shore of Lake Erie which is much smaller, and unless you want to be in Canada, is not much of a factor on most flights.
I thought about Paul and his generation as I sat over Lake Michigan later that day. I had two and a half hours of fuel onboard for the 37 minute flight. My Continentals can only make 300 hp at sea level so the stress on the props, engine mounts and so on was coming from maybe 230 hp at cruise flight. And I was 1,000 pounds below maximum takeoff weight. Life for my airplane was easy. But Paul and his generation of aviators are reminders that flying wasn't always so.
Two Single-Engine Jets Funded Again
Posted on January 9, 2012 by Mac
The Cirrus SF50 Vision single-engine jet development program had been on hold since last fall while the company's new Chinese based owner, CAIGA, analyzed and reviewed the program. But the new owners are apparently satisfied with the prospects for the small jet and Cirrus says development work on the program is now going ahead full speed.
A few weeks ago the Diamond D-Jet got a similar shot in the arm in the form of new company ownership and financing from investors fromDubai. The D-Jet program has been in the works for years and three prototypes have been flying. But like the Cirrus Vision, the D-Jet program had been on the shelf for months awaiting new funding commitments. Continue reading →

The International Politics of NDB Approaches
A typical NDB antenna installation is as simple as wires strung between telephone poles (background). Often a fan-style marker beacon (foreground) can be found at these sites as well. Courtesy: lancesanders.com
How old is the non-directional beacon (NDB) as an aeronautical navigation aid? Eighty years? 90 years? Or maybe more. I'm not sure. The NDB was certainly around before even the fancy four-course range with its dit-dah left-right guidance along a "beam." But the four-course range died decades ago while the NDB lives on. What's up with that?
In most countries other than theU.S.an ADF receiver capable of navigating using NDB signals is still a requirement for IFR flight. Newly designed mega million dollar airplanes are still leaving the factory with an ADF receiver, or more often two of them. That's like including an Underwood manual typewriter along with every new iPad sold. Continue reading →

When High Pressure Isn't Always Good
Courtesy: blog.minitab.com
All pilots are amateur meteorologists out of necessity. And one weather fact we think we know is that high pressure systems make for good flying weather. And that's generally true – but not always at this time of the year.
As you remember from private pilot ground school, high pressure systems typically clear out the atmosphere, bringing good visibility and generally clear skies. The soggy stable air of low pressure systems can collect lots of moisture that leads to widespread clouds and reduced visibility. Lows usually spawn fronts that add their own mix of flying weather challenges. Continue reading →

Small Aircraft Transportation System
At one time NASA promoted SATS – What happened?
In the mid-1990s NASA created a program to revive general aviation and transform piston airplanes into reliable transportation machines that could be safely operated by pilots without thousands of hours of experience. The hope was to create a small aircraft transportation system (SATS) that would allow people to travel with convenience and predictability between the thousands of airports in the country that are not served by scheduled airlines.
The general aviation industry applauded. Richard Collins and I scratched our heads. We, and many thousands of other pilots, had been SATS participants for decades and didn't even know it. We used our airplanes for transportation and essentially matched the schedule reliability of the major airlines, which was a bit of a challenge then, but not that difficult now. What would SATS do that we didn't? Continue reading →

When Dual Can Equal Disaster
Posted on December 8, 2011 by Mac

Every well-trained crew, or any competent instructor, always makes it absolutely clear who has the controls. Even pilots who have flown together for hundreds or thousands of hours always announce aloud, "You have the controls," and the other pilot responds, "I have the controls."
These procedures come from the hard-learned lessons that somebody must always be in control, but two can never be in control effectively and safely at the same time. Continue reading →

This is how far Beijing will go to defend its claim to the South China Sea
Published: Dec. 16, 2016 at 9:09 a.m. ET
The latest developments come at a time when President-elect Donald Trump has made it plain that he will play hardball with China
China's South Sea Fleet takes part in a drill near the Paracel Islands in the South China Sea.
If there were any questions as to how far China will go to bolster its claim to the South China Sea, the world got another clue this week that leaves no doubt that Beijing is playing for high stakes.
A series of satellite images released by the Asia Maritime Transparency Initiative show that China has bulked up its military presence on the Spratly Islands by installing large antiaircraft guns and close-in weapons systems.
The AMTI, which had been tracking the construction of the structures since this summer, concluded that these facilities at Fiery Cross, Mischief, and Subi Reefs are more evolved point-defense fortifications that are already installed at Gaven, Hughes, Johnson, and Cuarteron Reefs.
Here are some of the images of those installations:

"These gun and probable CIWS emplacements show that Beijing is serious about defense of its artificial islands in case of an armed contingency in the South China Sea," said AMTI in a statement on its website.
The think-tank believes the weaponry will be the "last line of defense" against cruise missiles launched by the U.S.

"They would back up the defensive umbrella provided by a future deployment to the Spratlys of mobile surface-to-air missile (SAM) platforms, such as the HQ-9 deployed to Woody Island in the Paracel Islands," said the AMTI.
Paracel Islands lie north east to the Spratlys and are roughly 270 miles from China's Hainan province.
China's activities in the disputed region are a direct contradiction of President Xi Jinping's pledge to refrain from militarization in the archipelago. They also raise concerns that Beijing will increasingly resort to military force to bolster its territorial claims and control a key shipping route that accounts for $5 trillion of international trade annually, according to The Wall Street Journal.
Adm. Harry Harris, commander of the U.S. Pacific Command, said Wednesday that the U.S. won't allow the region to be shut down by China "no matter how many bases are built," the newspaper reported.
"We will cooperate where we can and be ready to confront where we must," he said.
At his disposal is the formidable U.S. Pacific Fleet which includes 200 ships and submarines, more than 1,000 aircraft and 140,000 personnel.

The latest developments come at a time when President-elect Donald Trump has made it plain that he will play hardball with China. Trump has already broken with tradition by accepting a congratulatory call from President Tsai Ing-wen of Taiwan earlier this month. In the days since, Trump had indicated that the once tamper-proof One-China Policy, which essentially treats Taiwan as a renegade province of China, will likely be reviewed, if not overhauled.
Beijing lashed out in an editorial in the state-backed Global Times, calling Trump naive and warned that China could go as far as to provide military assistance to U.S.'s enemies.
"China needs to be fully armed and prepared to take a Sino-U. S. roller coaster relationship together with Trump. And many others in the world will probably also need to fasten their seat belts," said the newspaper.
The S&P 500 is on the verge of achieving its first "golden cross" in two-and-a-half years. But that doesn't mean stocks are destined for more gains over the coming year.

RCP Opens Fire on Tenants: 'Like the Klan without robes'
First Published: The Call, Vol. 8, No. 14, April 9, 1979.
Atlanta–Armed thugs, members of the so-called Revolutionary Communist Party (RCP), opened fire on a group of tenants from Capitol Homes March 25, wounding one person.
The attack on this predominantly Black, low-income housing project seriously escalates the fascist efforts of this group to disrupt the people's movement. It follows a series of police-like provocations that began when the RCP grabbed headlines with its anti-China campaign during the U.S. visit of Chinese Vice-Premier Deng Xiaoping last January. RCPers in various cities have attacked workers and leftists, broken up meetings and used various "dirty tricks" to spread confusion and discredit the movement.
Capitol Homes has been the scene in recent months of growing struggle and militancy on the part of tenants opposing evictions and racial discrimination and fighting for decent living conditions.
The organizing has been spearheaded by the Southern Conference Educational Fund (SCEF), a South-wide mass organization including many tenants from the projects. SCEF has therefore drawn the hatred of the RCP, which has distinguished itself in the past by opposing the Afro-American struggle for democratic rights and self-determination. The RCP was among the most outspoken proponents of the racist anti-busing movement.
For the past few weeks, the RCP has sent its small squad of loyal followers into Capitol Homes, going to tenants' doors and harassing them about their support for SCEF and the Communist Party (Marxist-Leninist). In a leaflet, they slandered these organizations as "working for the government" and as "police agents."
But the people of Capitol Homes are familiar with these people's organizations and repeatedly refused to be bullied and harassed by the RCP. On several occasions, RCPers were run off by tenants, only to return for more high-pressured sales efforts. One tenant remarked: "If they (the RCP) aren't getting money from the housing authority, they're missing a well-deserved paycheck."
Another tenant explained: "They came to my door and told, me they 'wanted to help me.' I asked, 'Help me with what?' They said: 'Help you get rid of SCEF!'"
Finally on March 25, another small group of provocateurs showed up at the housing project with their leaflets and began haranguing tenants again. The tenants responded by telling them to get out of Capitol Homes.
At this, other RCPers leaped out of a van with shotguns and rifles and began firing–at first over the heads of the tenants, and then, as people retreated, at the crowd itself. Fortunately nobody was killed, and. except for one man who was hit in the hand, the hundreds of families and their children who live in the projects escaped injury.
Some tenants returned fire and drove the RCPers off. One thug reportedly was grabbed by two Capitol Homes women and justifiably beaten. Almost as if on signal, police pulled up immediately after RCP made their escape.
The attack marks an escalation by the RCP in their fascist provocations carried out under the banner of "communism." In recent weeks, the RCP has forged a copy of The Call, trying to make it seem as if the CPML was supporting the government and the Pentagon generals. Isolated from any base of mass support, the RCP, in their anti-China, anti-communist and anti-working class frenzy, have resorted to such "dirty tricks" a la the FBI and the Nixon-Watergate schemes. They are serving as the armed frontmen for the bosses and the revisionists in the so-called "anti-China, anti-communist united front."
All progressive people's organizations should be vigilant against this gang of thugs. They are no more "communist" than the "national socialists" who rallied around Hitler. People who judge them by their actions, rather than their name, can see that they are strikingly similar to the KKK in their terror tactics against the tenants at Capitol Homes. One tenant explained: "They're just like the Klan without robes."
For their part, the tenants have gotten an education on the tactics of the enemy. They are making preparations and getting better organized to defend their community against any type of fascist or racist attacks.

Q: Spark: get groupBy output as list of rows When using group by in spark is it possible to get Dataset<List<Row>>
as an output. Here Row is the original row.
Dataset<<List<Row>> output = dataset.groupBy("key");

If an aggregation is used and the collect_list then in the output row, values which are in list format cannot be guaranteed to be in order. Therefore it not a good solution in my case.
Ex: output with aggregation. But order in set values cannot be guaranteed.
+-----+----------------------------+
|item1|set                         |
+-----+----------------------------+
|1    |[[5,3], [4,1], [3,2], [2,2]]|
|2    |[[4,1], [1,2], [5,2], [3,1]]|
+-----+----------------------------+

Please let know if there is a way to get the output as Dataset<List<Row>> without using pojos. (ex for pojo based solution: FlatMapGroupsWIthStateFunction )

A: I have the beginning of a solution for you. You could use monotonically_increasing_id to create an index and "remember" the order of the dataframe. Then, you could group by key, aggregate the resultwith collect_list, sort the list by the index and finally remove it.
There exists a sort_array function to sort array in SparkSQL. Unfortunately, I do not know of any equivalent of the map function on a sparkSQL array in order to remove the index. This is why I propose a solution based on a UDF:
// the UDF that sorts by the index "i" and keeps the value
val sort_and_strip = udf{ (x : WrappedArray[Row]) =>
    x.sortBy(_.getAs[Long]("i"))
     .map(_.getAs[Long]("value"))
}

// an example of use:
spark.range(7)
    .select('id % 3 as "key", 'id as "value")
    .withColumn("i", monotonically_increasing_id)
    .groupBy("key")
    .agg(collect_list(struct('i, 'value)) as "list")
    .withColumn("list", sort_and_strip('list))
    .show(false)
+---+---------+
|key|list     |
+---+---------+
|0  |[0, 3, 6]|
|1  |[1, 4]   |
|2  |[2, 5]   |
+---+---------+

MARIJUANA: Field Poll says Californians now…
MARIJUANA: Field Poll says Californians now favor legalization
Michael Finkelstein smokes a marijuana cigarette while watching election results on Tuesday, Nov. 2, 2010, in Oakland. California's most recent statewide ballot initiative for marijuana legalization, Prop. 19, was defeated.
By Richard K. De Atley | rdeatley@scng.com | The Press-Enterprise
In a first for California, a majority of voters now favors legalization of marijuana, and most want pot regulated like alcohol, according to Field Poll results released Tuesday, Dec. 10.
The poll began asking about marijuana decriminalization in 1969. A clear majority of respondents never favored it until now. In 1969, 75 percent of Californians wanted the state's marijuana laws strictly enforced, or even toughened.
The nonpartisan poll conducted last week for The Press-Enterprise and other California media subscribers showed 55 percent now favor legalization. The split among those was 47 percent for legalizing it with age and other controls similar to alcohol laws, while 8 percent said it should be legalized so anyone could purchase it.
Just 31 percent now support strict enforcement of current laws or passing tougher ones. Another 12 percent wants to keep the present ban but ease penalties and 2 percent had no opinion.
Today's Field Poll also showed that when respondents were read a summary of a proposed initiative in California to legalize marijuana for recreational and medical use, 56 percent said they would support it and 39 percent said they would be opposed. Five percent were undecided.
"You have just had a whole new reevaluation," of marijuana, Field Poll Director Mark DiCamillo said in a telephone interview. "What is different is that in 1969, there was a much more prevalent view that marijuana would lead to harder drugs and addiction."
But since then, respondents have removed marijuana from consideration with harder drugs, he said.
"That is probably the biggest single shift in attitudes toward marijuana," DiCamillo said.
The Field Poll conclusion reflects a national Gallup Poll released late in October. It also found for the first time that 58 percent of Americans favored legalizing marijuana.
"These different polls are showing the same thing," said Lanny Swerdlow, a longtime Inland advocate for marijuana legalization. Swerdlow operated a medical marijuana clinic in Riverside that was closed in May after the California Supreme Court upheld a Riverside law that allowed local governments to ban dispensaries.
"It's a number of different things," Swerdlow said of the poll results favoring legalization. "One was the advent of medical marijuana. It has some very beneficial uses and the government has lied about its dangers. People are beginning to see through that."
The California Cannabis Hemp Initiative is currently cleared by the state Attorney General to gather petition signatures. Organizers will need more than 500,000 valid signatures from registered voters by Feb. 24, 2014 to qualify for the November 2014 general election ballot. The initiative, decriminalization of all hemp and cannabis use, is the most advanced among three efforts to get legalization of marijuana on the California ballot again.
Paul Chabot, who heads the Coalition for a Drug-Free California, said the official summary of the initiative, which discusses reviewing cases of persons convicted of non-violent marijuana offenses for possible modification or custody release, misleads voters.
"The pro-marijuana crowd likes the voters to believe cops are locking up low-level marijuana users. In California, it's a $100 fine, a lot less than for running a red-light camera. If they simply asked the question, 'Should we legalize pot in California, yes or no?' I think we would have a much different outcome in the polling," he said in a phone interview.
In November 2012, voters in Colorado and Washington approved initiatives legalizing marijuana for medicinal and recreational use. California currently permits cultivation and sale of medical marijuana, but hundreds of local governments have banned storefront dispensaries, including the cities of Riverside and San Bernardino as well as Riverside County and San Bernardino County.
DiCamillo also noted that the ages of respondents who said they would approve marijuana legalization has grown. It used to dominate the 18-39 age group. With the most recent poll, there was 64 percent approval from that group, and also ages 40-49, DiCamillo said.
"As the younger crowed gets older, it takes its attitudes with it," he said, while the older set of voters with the greatest opposition is dying off. DiCamillo said that pattern also holds with other social issues, such as same-sex marriage. But he said early poll readings on whether an initiative will pass have to be tempered with the prospects of a campaign, if the measure gets on the ballot.
"The quality of the campaigning matters," DiCamillo said, recalling how intensive work brought Prop. 8 from negative polling to voter approval in 2008. Chabot said separately that 2010's Prop. 19 marijuana legalization initiative also started with a lead in polls, but was defeated.
The telephone poll of 1,002 registered voters was conducted between Nov. 14 and Dec. 5. It has a margin of error ranging from plus or minus 3.2 to 4.5 percentage points.

Atomic Structure
1. Introduction to structure of the atom
In our lower classes, we have studied about the atom. Let us recall them.
Atom is the smallest particle.
Everything around us is made of atoms.
Atoms are indivisible.
A series of experiments by scientists resulted in the discovery of an atom's structure.
According to Dalton, atoms are indivisible. Later on, one of the first indications is that atoms are not indivisible since there are smaller particles inside an atom.
According to Thomson, atoms are indivisible, but they contain at least one subatomic particle, the electron.
According to E. Goldstein, gas discharge contains new radiations known as canal rays. The rays had a positive charge. Canal rays helped the discovery of another subatomic particle. The charge of this subatomic particle was the exact opposite of the charge of the electron.
What are subatomic particles?
The particles that build an atom are called subatomic particles.
During the twentieth century, discoveries were made that atoms of all elements are made up of smaller components such as electrons, protons and neutrons.
Lets us tabulate the name of the scientists who discovered the particles.
Subatomic particles
Scientists name
Mass (amu)
J. J. Thomson
\(e^-\)
\(-1\)
\( 0\)
Eugen Goldstein
\(p^+\)
\(+1\)
\(1\)
\(n^0\)
Neutrons are present in all atoms except hydrogen.
The sum of the masses of protons and neutrons in the nucleus defines the mass of an atom.
Atomic mass or mass number = Number of protons + Number of neutrons
In this chapter, we will discuss about the topics listed below:
Subatomic particles inside the atom.
Arrangement of the particles inside an atom.
Various atom models.
Atomic and mass number of the atom.
Valency and valence electrons.
Isotopes, isobars and isotones.
Laws of chemical combination.

Most Exciting Nintendo Switch Exclusives of 2019
By Dalton Cooper 15 January 2019
marvel ultimate alliance 3: the black order
yoshi's crafted world
Both 2017 and 2018 were strong years for the Nintendo Switch, with the Big N's handheld/home console hybrid meeting sales expectations and launching some hugely successful games in the process. The Switch has already built up an impressive library of exclusives over its short lifespan, and it's looking to add even more high quality exclusives games in 2019.
There are quite a few Switch exclusives already announced for release in 2019, but these six stand out as the most exciting in the lineup.
Very little is known about Animal Crossing for the Nintendo Switch, beyond the fact that the ever-greedy loan shark Tom Nook is back for the latest installment. However, fans of the franchise don't need a lot of information to get excited, as each Animal Crossing so far has provided a relatively similar, addicting experience that makes it hard to put down. Players will undoubtedly be paying off a hefty loan from Nook, upgrading their homes, interacting with villagers, and decorating their houses as they have in past games, but we'll have to wait to learn more about any new features the Switch version will introduce.
First announced at E3 2018, Fire Emblem: Three Houses looks to bring the tactical role-playing and turn-based strategy the series is famous for to the Nintendo Switch. Following in the footsteps of the popular 3DS Fire Emblem games, Three Houses is poised to be one of the franchise's most ambitious entries yet, marked by a significant graphical upgrade that should make battles even more intense. Nintendo and Intelligent Systems have an impressive track record when it comes to Fire Emblem games, and there's no reason to doubt that Fire Emblem: Three Houses will be yet another great entry in the series.
Luigi's Mansion 3
Like Animal Crossing, we actually know very little about Luigi's Mansion 3. But also like Animal Crossing, fans don't need to know a whole lot about the game to know what to expect. If its teaser trailer is any indication, Luigi's Mansion 3 will see Luigi once again exploring haunted locales with his specialized vacuum, collecting ghosts and solving puzzles along the way. The first two games in the series were well-received by fans and critics alike, so here's hoping Luigi's Mansion 3 on the Switch can continue the winning streak.
Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 3 – The Black Order
One of the biggest surprises at The Game Awards 2018 was the reveal of Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 3 – The Black Order for the Nintendo Switch. Developed by Team Ninja, Ultimate Alliance 3 will feature Thanos and his supervillain team The Black Order as they clash with a wide variety of Marvel superheroes, ranging from the Avengers to the X-Men. With a huge roster of playable characters at its disposal, Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 3 looks to deliver quality local co-op action that should please fans who have been waiting years for another Ultimate Alliance game.
While Pokemon Let's Go offered a more casual offering for Switch owners in 2018, the next Pokemon RPG for the console is set to push the franchise forward. 2019's Pokemon game will be the first main series Pokemon game available on a home console, and as such, there are high expectations for what it will deliver. Nintendo has yet to release any gameplay details or footage of the game, but assuming development is going as scheduled, Pokemon fans should be able to look forward to a proper reveal later this year.
Yoshi's Crafted World
Yoshi's Crafted World is the only game on this list with a firm release date instead of a general 2019 release window. Due to launch on March 29, Yoshi's Crafted World is a successor of sorts to Yoshi's Woolly World, and features classic platforming gameplay mixed with unique visuals and local co-op. As the first big Switch exclusive of 2019, Yoshi's Crafted World has the opportunity to set the tone for what could be a banner year for the console.
For this list, we decided to stick to Switch exclusives that have already been announced for a 2019 release. However, it's possible that other big Switch exclusives will see release this year as well, such as Bayonetta 3. At the end of the dya, Nintendo fans will just have to be sure to tune in to future Nintendo Direct presentations to find out more about all of these exciting upcoming Switch exclusives.

Swiggy Has Just Become India's 10th Unicorn Startup
June 21, 2018 OfficeChai Team
India's unicorn startup list has yet another addition.
Swiggy is now valued at $1.2 billion (Rs. 7,800 crore) after raising $210 million in a round led by DST and Naspers. Before this fundraise, Swiggy was valued at $700 million, but has now become India's 10th unicorn startup, after Flipkart, Paytm, Snapdeal, Ola Cabs, InMobi, Hike Messenger, Zomato, Quikr and ShopClues.
Swiggy said that latest fundraise will be used to ramp up its supply chain network and expand to new markets. "The company will also double its technology headcount to build for robust operations, deep personalization and connected supply chain systems," Swiggy said in a statement.
Swiggy has become the second fastest Indian company to reach the $1 billion valuation — it was founded in August 2014 and has touched valuation of $1 billion in June 2018, meaning it became a unicorn in 3 years and 10 months. The fastest Indian startup to become a unicorn had been Hike, which had become a unicorn 3 years and 8 months after being founded. InMobi and Ola took 4 years each, while Flipkart took 5.
It's been an exceptional journey for Swiggy, which was founded by BITS Pilani graduates Sriharsha Majety and Nandan Reddy, and IIT Kharagpur alumnus Rahul Jaimini. Majety had first tinkered with a startup idea around logistics, but had eventually pivoted to form a food delivery company. Swiggy's success was never a given — in 2015 and 2016, food delivery startups had stumbled after an initial funding glut, and several, including SpoonJoy and Dazo had shut down. More dramatically, TinyOwl had its founder held hostage by irate employees when their salaries weren't paid, and had later shut down as well. During the same period, Zomato and Foodpanda had laid off employees.
But Swiggy managed to weather the storm, and now competes with Zomato and Foodpanda in what is essentially a three-way battle for India's food delivery space. The three remaining players are all well funded — Zomato just raised Rs. 1,300 crore from Alibaba, and Foodpanda was recently acquired by Ola. That sets up a delicious battle for supremacy in the food delivery industry. It's also a remarkable turnaround for the entire sector — after the shutdown and firings in the last few years, many had written off the space, saying its unit economics weren't sustainable, and these companies would find it hard to get further backing. But after Zomato's mega fundraise, Foodpanda's acquisition, and Swiggy's newfound unicorn status, food delivery startups now seem to be very much the flavour of the season.

Beowülf (manchmal auch unter dem Kürzel BWF bekannt) ist eine US-amerikanische Crossover-Band aus Venice Beach, Kalifornien, die im Jahr 1981 gegründet wurde, sich 1995 auflöste und im Jahr 2000 wieder zusammenfand.

Geschichte
Die Band wurde im Jahr 1981 gegründet und bestand aus Sänger und Gitarrist Dale Henderson, dem Gitarristen Mike Jensen, dem Bassisten Paul Yemada und dem Schlagzeuger Michael Alvarado. Durch die gute Beziehung zu Suicidal Tendencies war Beowülf auf der Split-Veröffentlichung Welcome to Venice zu hören, die 1985 über Suicidal Records erschien. Ein Jahr später folgte das selbstbetitelte Debütalbum, dem sich 1988 das Album Lost My Head… But I'm Back on the Right Track über Caroline Records anschloss. Auf diesem war unter anderem eine Coverversion von Smokey Robinsons Cruising zu hören. Nachdem im Jahr 1993 das Album Un-Sentimental und im Jahr 1995 das Album 2 ¢ über Restless Records veröffentlicht worden war, löste sich die Band im Jahr 1995 auf. Seit dem Jahr 2000 ist die Band wieder vereint. Im Jahr 2007 erschien über I Scream Records das Album Westminster & 5th.

Stil
Auf dem Album Lost My Head… But I'm Back on the Right Track wird die Band mit Suicidal Tendencies verglichen, wobei Beowülf weniger aggressiv, dafür melodischer klingen. Auf dem Album Un-Sentimental, das klanglich vergleichbar mit den Werken von G.B.H. ist, werden zudem auch Elemente aus Grunge, Funk, Alternative und Hardcore Punk verarbeitet. Das Album 2 ¢ klingt stark durch Punk-Künstler wie Ramones oder Billy Idol beeinflusst. Auf dem Album Westminster & 5th spielt die Band eine "Mischung aus Metal, Punk und Stoner-Rock, die mit dem ursprünglichen Crossover aus HC und Metal aber wenig zu tun hat".
