Investigators found 650,000 emails on a laptop used by former Rep. Anthony Weiner and his estranged wife Huma Abedin, a close Clinton aide, and underlying metadata suggests thousands of those messages could have been sent to or from the private server that Mrs. Clinton used while she was secretary of state, according to people familiar with the matter.
It will take weeks, at a minimum, to determine whether those messages are work-related from the time Ms. Abedin served with Mrs. Clinton at the State Department; how many are duplicates of emails already reviewed by the FBI; and whether they include either classified information or important new evidence in the Clinton email probe.
Officials had to await a court order to begin reviewing the emails—which they received over the weekend, according to a person familiar with the matter—because they were uncovered in an unrelated probe of Mr. Weiner.
I haven't heard anyone say this, but it seems quite possible that Huma Abedin is a double agent.
Thinking about her failure to turn over 650,000 emails!!! That is an enormous number of emails!
And Huma lied about having turned over everything requested by the FBI. She says she doesn't know how they got there? There's a whole lot of lying going on. When the truth comes out this isn't going to be a casual mistake.


Attorney Jared O'Connor will be testifying in support of Senate Bill 84 this Wednesday at the Legislative Office Building. The act is regarding payment of weekly Workers' Compensation benefits by direct deposit. Attorney O'Connor lays out the reasons why workers would benefit from such a change.
It requires Workers' Compensation insurance carriers to pay injured workers their weekly benefits by electronic direct deposit, rather than by mailing paper checks.
You mean, they don't do that already?
No. Current Department of Labor regulations do allow carriers to pay by direct deposit, but in practice this virtually never happens. In almost 15 years of practice, I can count on one hand the number of clients who have been given this option. Almost the whole universe of WC payments in New Hampshire still occur by paper check.
Well, so what? Is payment by paper check a problem that needs legislative attention?
1. Even the mighty U.S. mail isn't always 100 percent reliable, as when injured workers live in marginal inner city or rural areas; or the worker may not even have a fixed mailing address or P.O. Box; or their injury may give them difficulty walking to the mailbox and then driving to deposit their check.
2. Most importantly, the weekly paper checks don't always issue from the carriers as reliably as when one is getting a paycheck from an employer, and this can lead to immediate severe financial hardship for injured workers who were often living paycheck to paycheck even before their injury. Now they find themselves trying to do the same on just 60 percent of their average weekly wage – these people have car payments and mortgages, often with automatic withdrawals set up from their accounts, and if the paper check arrives four days late they can be assessed with default or late fees for which they will NOT be reimbursed under WC law.
So why aren't the weekly paper checks reliably showing up every (let's say) Wednesday?
This requires a bit more explanation.
Once an injured worker is considered temporarily totally disabled from work, if the insurance carrier believes there is evidence to reduce/terminate the injured workers' weekly benefits, it either needs to get administrative permission from the Labor Department to do that, or it needs to ask for a hearing. Either way, the point is that the carrier can't do anything unilaterally – it needs to go through the Department. This gives the injured worker some measure of reliability and stability. No change without advance notice, so s/he can rely on the weekly check and budget accordingly.
But in practice, administrative hiccups happen with some frequency. The paper check is being issued from some central processing unit in Nebraska, and so some snafu means it shows up on the following Monday. Or it shows up not at all, and then the carrier needs to make sure the paper check hasn't been cashed, issue a stop payment, then try to get caught up with a double paper check the next week. In the meantime, the injured worker has no money and no recourse.
What do you mean, no recourse?
The law currently says the carrier must pay "weekly", so the Labor Department takes the position that the carrier isn't in violation unless the normal Wednesday check doesn't show up until after the following Wednesday. Then it can pressure and/or collect a fine from the carrier payable to the Department itself, but there's no additional compensation for the hardship experienced by the injured worker.
But you're saying the problem with paper check delivery are mishaps with the U.S. Postal Service itself?
Sometimes, but the most common scenario seems to be this: once it's agreed that an injured worker is on long-term disability (or is held to be so by the Department after a hearing), their file comes up in the carrier's office for review and payment re-authorization every 6 weeks, or maybe it's every two months. When the adjuster clicks the button to confirm the injured worker should still be on benefit, the payment machinery in Omaha shudders to life again and spits out a few more months of regular payments, but this time, on Tuesday; then on later re-up it changes to a round of Thursday payments, etc. Hardship and frustration ensues for the injured worker.
At minimum, this is like a pebble in the shoe of injured workers, and it needn't be.
What's the reasoned argument against the bill?
There is some administrative cost to the carriers in having to set up a direct deposit system, although it's likely offset by the elimination of the threat of any Department fines for late paper checks, and/or the cost in wasted time their adjusters spend in addressing these complaints about delayed paper checks from injured workers and their counsel. I've not heard much objection from carriers or their counsel on this point.
However, it would be an administrative hassle and unnecessarily costly for insurance carriers to set up electronic weekly payments for individual, small-change workers comp injuries - cases where the injured worker will only be out for a few days or weeks. And remember that carriers have three weeks from the date they are notified of a claim to decide whether to accept or deny the claim. In these minor cases, the injured worked might even be back to work already by the time the claim is accepted – at that point, it's just easier for everyone if the carrier cuts a single paper check to retroactively cover the closed-period time spent out of work. No direct deposit necessary.
Maybe there should be a legislative carve-out for these minor cases.
There is! The electronic payment option in this bill only applies to those cases where the injured worker is out of work for at least six weeks.
So this bill is really intended for the long-term disabled who come to rely on the weekly checks.
Right. It doesn't cost the state any additional money, it does not affect insurance companies or employers negatively, and most importantly, it eases the burden of being injured for New Hampshire citizens.

Die San Francisco Spiders waren ein US-amerikanisches Eishockeyfranchise der International Hockey League aus San Francisco, Kalifornien. Die Spielstätte der Spiders war der Cow Palace.

Geschichte
Die San Francisco Spiders wurden im Jahr 1995 gegründet und hatten ihren Sitz in San Francisco. Ihre Heimspiele trugen sie in der Nachbarstadt Daly City aus. Der Klub konnte sich für die Play-offs qualifizieren, schied dort allerdings in der ersten Runde nach 1:3 Niederlagen gegen die Chicago Wolves aus.
Nach der Saison 1995/96 wurden die San Francisco Spiders wieder aufgelöst. Gründe hierfür waren Probleme mit der Halle und mangelndes Zuschauerinteresse. Während die Wochenendspiele der Spiders oft von bis zu 8.000 Zuschauern besucht wurden, kamen in der Woche oft weniger als 2.500 Fans. Die meisten Spieler wechselten nach der Auflösung zu anderen Vereinen der IHL, allein die Kansas City Blades nahmen acht Spieler unter Vertrag.

This option enforces a specific function type for function components.

**Fixable:** This rule is automatically fixable using the `--fix` flag on the command line.

## Rule Details

This rule is aimed to enforce consistent function types for function components. By default it prefers function declarations for named components and function expressions for unnamed components.

Examples of **incorrect** code for this rule:

```jsx
// function expression for named component
var Component = function (props) {
  return <div>{props.content}</div>;
};

// arrow function for named component
var Component = (props) => {
  return <div>{props.content}</div>;
};

// arrow function for unnamed component
function getComponent() {
  return (props) => {
    return <div>{props.content}</div>;
  };
}
```

## Rule Options

This rule takes an options object as a second parameter where the preferred function type for components can be specified.
The first property of the options object is `"namedComponents"` which can be `"function-declaration"`, `"function-expression"`, `"arrow-function"`, or an array containing any of those, and has `'function-declaration'` as its default.
The second property is `"unnamedComponents"` that can be either `"function-expression"`, `"arrow-function"`, or an array containing any of those, and has `'function-expression'` as its default.

```js
...
"react/function-component-definition": [<enabled>, {
  "namedComponents": "function-declaration" | "function-expression" | "arrow-function" | Array<"function-declaration" | "function-expression" | "arrow-function">,
  "unnamedComponents": "function-expression" | "arrow-function" | Array<"function-expression" | "arrow-function">
}]
...
```

Examples of **incorrect** code for this rule:

```jsx
// only function declarations for named components
// [2, { "namedComponents": "function-declaration" }]
var Component = function (props) {
  return <div />;
};

var Component = (props) => {
  return <div />;
};

// only function expressions for named components
// [2, { "namedComponents": "function-expression" }]
function Component (props) {
  return <div />;
};

var Component = (props) => {
  return <div />;
};

// only arrow functions for named components
// [2, { "namedComponents": "arrow-function" }]
function Component (props) {
  return <div />;
};

var Component = function (props) {
  return <div />;
};

// only function expressions for unnamed components
// [2, { "unnamedComponents": "function-expression" }]
function getComponent () {
  return (props) => {
    return <div />;
  };
}

// only arrow functions for unnamed components
// [2, { "unnamedComponents": "arrow-function" }]
function getComponent () {
  return function (props) {
    return <div />;
  };
}

```

Examples of **correct** code for this rule:

```jsx

// only function declarations for named components
// [2, { "namedComponents": "function-declaration" }]
function Component (props) {
  return <div />;
}

// only function expressions for named components
// [2, { "namedComponents": "function-expression" }]
var Component = function (props) {
  return <div />;
};

// only arrow functions for named components
// [2, { "namedComponents": "arrow-function" }]
var Component = (props) => {
  return <div />;
};

// only function expressions for unnamed components
// [2, { "unnamedComponents": "function-expression" }]
function getComponent () {
  return function (props) {
    return <div />;
  };
}

// only arrow functions for unnamed components
// [2, { "unnamedComponents": "arrow-function" }]
function getComponent () {
  return (props) => {
    return <div />;
  };
}

```

## Unfixable patterns

There is one unfixable pattern in JavaScript.

It has to do with the fact that this is valid syntax:

```js
export default function getComponent () {
  return <div />;
}
```

While these are not:

```js
export default var getComponent = () => {
  return <div />;
}

export default var getComponent = function () {
  return <div />;
}
```

These patterns have to be manually fixed.

## Heads up, TypeScript users

Note that the autofixer is somewhat constrained for TypeScript users.

The following patterns can **not** be autofixed in TypeScript:

```tsx
// function expressions and arrow functions that have type annotations cannot be autofixed to function declarations
// [2, { "namedComponents": "function-declaration" }]
var Component: React.FC<Props> = function (props) {
  return <div />;
};

var Component: React.FC<Props> = (props) => {
  return <div />;
};

// function components with one unconstrained type parameter cannot be autofixed to arrow functions because the syntax conflicts with jsx
// [2, { "namedComponents": "arrow-function" }]
function Component<T>(props: Props<T>) {
  return <div />;
};

var Component = function <T>(props: Props<T>) {
  return <div />;
};

// [2, { "unnamedComponents": "arrow-function" }]
function getComponent() {
  return function <T>(props: Props<T>) => {
    return <div />;
  }
}
```

Type parameters do not produce syntax conflicts if either there are multiple type parameters or, if there is only one constrained type parameter.

The following patterns can be autofixed in TypeScript:

```tsx
// autofix to function expression with type annotation
// [2, { "namedComponents": "function-expression" }]
var Component: React.FC<Props> = (props) => {
  return <div />;
};

// autofix to arrow function with type annotation
// [2, { "namedComponents": "function-expression" }]
var Component: React.FC<Props> = function (props) {
  return <div />;
};

// autofix to named arrow function with one constrained type parameter
// [2, { "namedComponents": "arrow-function" }]
function Component<T extends {}>(props: Props<T>) {
  return <div />;
}

var Component = function <T extends {}>(props: Props<T>) {
  return <div />;
};

// autofix to named arrow function with multiple type parameters
// [2, { "namedComponents": "arrow-function" }]
function Component<T1, T2>(props: Props<T1, T2>) {
  return <div />;
}

var Component = function <T1, T2>(props: Props<T2>) {
  return <div />;
};

// autofix to unnamed arrow function with one constrained type parameter
// [2, { "unnamedComponents": "arrow-function" }]
function getComponent() {
  return function <T extends {}> (props: Props<T>) => {
    return <div />;
  };
}

// autofix to unnamed arrow function with multiple type parameters
// [2, { "unnamedComponents": "arrow-function" }]
function getComponent() {
  return function <T1, T2>(props: Props<T1, T2>) => {
    return <div />;
  }
}

```

With pot now legal in two states, police worry about road safety
It's settled. Pot, at least certain amounts of it, will soon be legal under state laws in Washington and Colorado. Now, officials in both states are trying to figure out how to keep stoned drivers off the road.
DENVER (AP) ? It's settled. Pot, at least certain amounts of it, will soon be legal under state laws in Washington and Colorado. Now, officials in both states are trying to figure out how to keep stoned drivers off the road.
Colorado's measure doesn't make any changes to the state's driving-under-the-influence laws, leaving lawmakers and police to worry about its effect on road safety.
"We're going to have more impaired drivers," warned John Jackson, police chief in the Denver suburb of Greenwood Village.
Washington's law does change DUI provisions by setting a new blood-test limit for marijuana ? a limit police are training to enforce, and which some lawyers are already gearing up to challenge.
"We've had decades of studies and experience with alcohol," said Washington State Patrol spokesman Dan Coon. "Marijuana is new, so it's going to take some time to figure out how the courts and prosecutors are going to handle it. But the key is impairment: We will arrest drivers who drive impaired, whether it be drugs or alcohol."
Drugged driving is illegal, and nothing in the measures that Washington and Colorado voters passed this month to tax and regulate the sale of pot for recreational use by adults over 21 changes that. But law enforcement officials wonder about whether the ability to buy or possess marijuana legally will bring about an increase of marijuana users on the roads.
Statistics gathered for the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration showed that in 2009, a third of fatally injured drivers with known drug test results were positive for drugs other than alcohol. Among randomly stopped weekend nighttime drivers in 2007, more than 16 percent were positive for drugs.
Marijuana can cause dizziness and slowed reaction time, and drivers are more likely to drift and swerve while they're high.
Marijuana legalization activists agree people shouldn't smoke and drive. But setting a standard comparable to blood-alcohol limits has sparked intense disagreement, said Betty Aldworth, outreach director for Colorado's Campaign to Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol.
Most convictions for drugged driving currently are based on police observations, followed later by a blood test.
"There is not yet a consensus about the standard rate for THC impairment," Aldworth said, referring to the psychoactive chemical in marijuana.
Unlike portable breath tests for alcohol, there's no easily available way to determine whether someone is impaired from recent pot use.
There are different types of tests for marijuana. Many workplaces test for an inactive THC metabolite that can be stored in body fat and remain detectable weeks after use. But tests for current impairment measure for active THC in the blood, and those levels typically drop within hours.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, peak THC concentrations are reached during the act of smoking, and within three hours, they generally fall to less than 5 nanograms per milliliter of blood ? the same standard in Washington's law, one supporters describe as roughly equivalent to the .08 limit for alcohol.
Two other states ? Ohio and the medical marijuana state of Nevada ? have a limit of 2 nanograms of THC per milliliter. Pennsylvania's health department has a 5-nanogram guideline that can be introduced in driving violation cases, and a dozen states, including Illinois, Arizona, and Rhode Island, have zero-tolerance policies.
In Washington, police still have to observe signs of impaired driving before pulling someone over, Coon said. The blood would be drawn by a medical professional, and tests above 5 nanograms would automatically subject the driver to a DUI conviction.
Supporters of Washington's measure said they included the standard to allay fears that legalization could prompt a drugged-driving epidemic, but critics call it arbitrarily strict. They insist that medical patients who regularly use cannabis would likely fail even if they weren't impaired.
They also worry about the law's zero-tolerance policy for those under 21. College students who wind up convicted even if they weren't impaired could lose college loans, they argue.
Jon Fox, a Seattle-area DUI attorney, said he's interested in challenging Washington's new standard as unconstitutional. Under due process principles, he said, people are entitled to know what activity is prohibited. If scientists can't tell someone how much marijuana it will take for him or her to test over the threshold, how is the average pot user supposed to know?
By contrast, he noted, the science on alcohol is well established. Some states publish charts estimating how many drinks it will take a person of a certain weight over a certain time to reach .08.
But such a challenge to Nevada's marijuana DUI limit failed in 2002, when the state Supreme Court ruled that the Legislature has broad authority to set driving standards. The U.S. Supreme Court declined to review that case, said Las Vegas DUI attorney Michael Becker.
"Marijuana affects everyone differently," Becker said. "The prevailing opinion of forensic toxicologists is that a 2-nanograms standard, such as exists in Nevada, absolutely results in convictions where individuals are not actually under the influence. But the 5-nanograms standard more closely approaches the mean threshold of prevailing opinion."
Colorado's legalization measure didn't set a driving standard ? an intentional omission by the activists who wrote it because the issue has proven divisive. Lawmakers in Colorado, which has an established medical marijuana industry, have tried but failed three times to set a THC driving limit.
Drugged driving cases in Colorado were up even before the legalization vote. In 2009, the state toxicology lab obtained 791 THC-positive samples from suspected impaired drivers. Last year, it had 2,030 THC-positive samples.
Colorado lawmakers are preparing to take up driving standards yet again when they convene next year.
"I believe a 5-nanogram limit will save lives," said Colorado Republican state Sen. Steve King, sponsor of previous driving-high bills.

With a sharp knife cut the top off the squashes. Cut a circle in the middle and scope out all the seeds and the stringy pulp. Brush them with some oil. Put the "top" back on the squash and bake them in the oven for 25 minutes until they start to soften.
Start by cooking the quinoa. Add the dry quinoa + the 2 cups of water to a pan. Bring it to boil. Once its boiling turn the heat down, put the lid on and cook for about 10-5 minutes until all the water has been absorbed. Fluf the quinoa with a fork and leave it onto one side.
In a separate pan add in the oil with the finely chopped onion. Cook the onion on a medium heat until it starts to soften and caramelised. Add in the crushed garlic and cook for another minute. Add in the chopped shiitake mushrooms and the soy sauce. Cook on a medium heat for around 10 minutes until all the water from the mushrooms have evaporated. Add the cooked quinoa, chopped pecans, dried cranberries, lemon juice, chopped parsley and the pomegranate seeds. Give everything a good mix and adjust with salt and pepper.
Fill up the squashes with the quinoa filling, put the top back on and bake them in the oven for another 8 minutes.
Serve them straight away while still hot!

Bombing against pilgrims kills 23 in Iraq as hundreds storm Baghdad's Green Zone
A car bomb targeting Shiite pilgrims killed at least 23 people near Baghdad on Saturday, as hundreds protested in the capital for reforms and parliament made another attempt to reshuffle the cabinet.
Iraq has been hit by weeks of political turmoil surrounding Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi's efforts to change the government.
Both Washington and the United Nations have warned the crisis could distract from the fight against the Islamic State (IS) group, which carries out frequent bombings against civilians.
Hundreds of supporters of Shia Muslim cleric Moqtada al-Sadr stormed Baghdad's Green Zone and some entered the parliament building after lawmakers failed to convene for a vote on overhauling the government.
The protesters, who had gathered outside the heavily fortified district housing government buildings and foreign embassies, crossed a bridge over the Tigris River chanting, "The cowards ran away!" in apparent reference to lawmakers leaving parliament, one of the witnesses said.
A guard at a checkpoint said the protesters had not been searched before entering. TV footage showed them waving Iraqi flags and chanting "Peaceful, peaceful!".
Some were standing on top of concrete blast walls that form the outer barrier to the Green Zone.
The car bomb, which also wounded at least 38 people, struck a road in the Nahrawan area used by Shiite pilgrims who are walking to the shrine of Imam Musa Kadhim in northern Baghdad for annual commemorations, officials said.
IS claimed the attack and said it was carried out by a suicide bomber who detonated a vehicle laden with three tonnes of explosives.
IS considers Iraq's majority Shiites to be heretics.
Kadhim, the seventh of 12 imams revered in Shiite Islam, died in 799 AD. The pilgrimage has in recent years turned into a huge event that brings the Iraqi capital to a standstill for days.
IS overran large areas north and west of Baghdad in 2014, but Iraqi forces backed by US-led military assistance have since regained signficant ground.
The jihadists still control a large part of western Iraq, and are able to carry out frequent attacks against both civilians and security forces in government-held areas.
Last year's pilgrimage was also marred by attacks against worshippers that killed at least 13 people.
And four more were burned or shot to death when mobs torched houses and a Sunni religious endowment building after rumours of a suicide bomber sparked panic among a crowd of pilgrims.

The logic and aim behind Iraq attack and occupation was to throughly divide the Muslim sects and the US and allied forces have been succeessful. They are happy that the hate has flared in the neighbouring Muslim countries. Divide and rule policy of the British has been successful. They have been doing it for the last one century, not only in the Gulf countries but all over the world where the ruled.

Steve's parents just got back from visiting Ray and Kasey in Austin and brought back the most wonderful gift for us...brisket from Rudy's! Rudy's is our favorite BBQ restaurant/gas station in Texas. Yes, you read that right. A gas station with a BBQ restaurant in the back. The first time Ray and Kasey took us there I was a little leery of eating it, but by the second and third time I was hooked. However, it was love at first bite for Steve and he eats it by the pound. Even Talan isn't too far behind him. They eat so much brisket that we joke about "meat sweats" afterwards. Who knows, maybe Steve will actually gain a pound?
If you are ever in Texas or Albuquerque, you HAVE to eat at Rudy's. Get the lean brisket and creamed corn. Mmmm good!
mmmmm...brisket...must resist...sounds good. heck, if it's blog-worthy, it must be good.
Alright I'll try the brisken...but I'm NOT eating creamed corn.
We had so much fun calling ya'lls house after taking the kids & their Grandparent's to Rudy's to say we missed having you with us....knowing that 4 or 5 pounds of brisket was currently being frozen for 48+ hours... so it could easily make the flight home to you guys there!! Glad you all got to enjoy it!! It was fun for all of us, too!!

Aberlour single malt whisky is named after it's origin. Aberlour means 'the mouth of the chattering burn' in Gaelic and this wild mountain stream is part of the Aberlour story. Cascading down over mossy waterfalls and through wooded glens its constant chatter can be heard as it flows past the distillery to join the Spey at Aberlour. The spot where these waters meet has attracted human settlement since the Stone Age. Its mystical significance dates back thousands of years. Believing the water to have healing powers the druid priests of the ancient Celts were probably the first to use it for distilling alcohol for the elixirs they dispensed in their 'hospital' at Aberlour. Nature worshippers, they heard voices in the sound of the burn and built a shrine on Fairy Hill behind today's distillery to commune with the talking spirits. This was unruly magic. Later in the 6th century the Lour may have been celebrated with a different kind of reverence. The history books tell us that a prince named Drostán sailed with his disciples to the Highlands on a mission to bring Christianity to the Celts. An influential preacher he was eventually declared a saint for the many souls he cleansed and saved.
Matured in a combination of Bourbon and Sherry barrels it has notes of raisin, almond and and the palate has a nutty edge with caramel and toffee on the finish.
Delicious with cullen skink and crusty bread.

Wombaroo Granivore Rearing Mix is a complete diet for rearing and supplementing grain-eating (granivorous) birds.
The first feed of the day for 3 days should be a high quality yoghurt with high live micro-organism count. This provides a reliable source of live bacteria (probiotics) that may have a beneficial effect on a bird's intestinal microbial population.
Allow prepared mixture to stand for 2 minutes to absorb all the water. Remix, and if too thick reheat the mixture and add a little more water to make the desired consistency. Feed at a temperature of 36-38ºC with a spoon or syringe. Feed until the crop is full, taking care not to introduce food into the windpipe.
Feed prepared Granivore Rearing Mix 6 times daily when chicks are very young, reducing this to 3-4 feeds per day as the chick gets older. Feed small amounts frequently and allow the crop to empty completely at least once each day (ie overnight). Thoroughly clean utensils before food preparation. Food must be prepared fresh for each meal. Discard all uneaten food.

Q: Lost in RewriteRule translation This is the first time I came across this thing, and I've been working with Apache for about 13 years now.
I have this rewrite rule:
RewriteRule ^/tagged/(.*)/$ /index.php?a=tagged&tags=$1
Very simple, right?
Here is the deal: if the value of the "tag" contains urlencoded chars - they are just lost in translation. Gone, bye-bye!?
If I enter url like this: /tagged/c%2B%2B/ which is the wight way to urlencode c++
then index.php receives the value of tags=c
where did my ++ go?
When I enter c%2B%2B directly in the url like this:
/index.php?a=tagged&tags=c%2B%2B then everything if fine, happily finding my posts tagged c++
Is this a known issue? What's the workaround?

A: I had a problem very similar to this once.  Here is the link I used to solve it.  The issue is that, as the link suggests, by the time mod_rewrite performs its rules Apache has already unescaped the URL and so when you rewrite the URL to the PHP script, PHP will interpret the +'s as spaces.
Edit: the post has been updated:

Update 24th August 2009: Apache 2.2.12 includes a B flag to RewriteRule that is meant to be used for this issue. It was introduced in 2.2.7, but broken until 2.2.12, if I read the changelog correctly. Thanks to Michael Stillwell for letting me know.

A: Did you try to use
RewriteRule ^/tagged/(.*)/$ /index.php?a=tagged&tags=$1 [NE]

NE stands for NoEscape. Never used it so don't know if it just don't escape character that are not already urlencoded, or just write non urlencoded characters and convert those which were.

This workshop for AAM women members encouraged them to join in the activities of the AAM Women's Committee. The workshop discussed the role of the women within the AAM and how to make women's voices heard on other AAM committees.
Leaflet advertising a picket of South Africa House on International Women's Day, 1990. South Africa continued to hold hundreds of political prisoners and detainees, including many women, after the release of Nelson Mandela in February 1990. The campaign for the release of all political prisoners was one of the priorities of the AAM in the early 1990s.
Many local AA groups organised women's campaigns in solidarity with their sisters in Southern Africa. This leaflet advertised a women only concert orgaised by Sheffield AAM women members on International Women's Day 1989 to raise funds for women in Southern Africa.
In March 1989 the AAM held a month of anti-apartheid action on women. Women all over Britain held meetings, exhibitions and demonstrations outside supermarkets selling South African and Namibian products. The month had three themes: the collection of material aid for South African and Namibian women, freedom for women prisoners and the boycott of South African and Namibian products.

Q: SerializeArray select multiple with jquery as json I found this great function on SO to serialize forms (modified a bit).
function getFormData($form){
    var unindexed_array = $form.serializeArray();
    for(var i in unindexed_array) {
            if(unindexed_array.hasOwnProperty(i)) {
                $('[name="'+unindexed_array[i]['name']+'"][value="'+unindexed_array[i]['value']+'"]').each(function() {
                    $(this).attr('checked', true);
                })
            }
        }
    var indexed_array = {};
    $.map(unindexed_array, function(n, i){
        if($.trim( n['value'] ).length)
        indexed_array[n['name']] = n['value'];
    });
    return (!$.isEmptyObject(indexed_array) ? JSON.stringify(indexed_array, null, 2) : '');
 }

This works nice with inputs. Unfortunately not with multiple selects.
Find here a working fiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/t_book/00fyufde/
If I input and choose

*

*Animal: dog

*Plant: tree

*Cars: saab + volvo

It results in:
{ "first": "dog", "second": "tree", "cars[]": "saab" }

How do I have to change the function to respect the multiple select. In this case that "saab" and "volvo" shows up in json.
thanks!

A: Try changing:
$.map(unindexed_array, function(n, i){
        if($.trim( n['value'] ).length){
        if(indexed_array[n['name']] !== undefined){
             indexed_array[n['name']].push(n['value']);
        } else if(n['name'] !== undefined && n['name'].indexOf('[]') > -1){
          indexed_array[n['name']] = new Array(n['value']);
        } else {
          indexed_array[n['name']] = n['value'];
        }
      }

USS Hornet was the fifth United States Navy ship to bear the name Hornet. She was originally CSS Lady Stirling, a blockade runner built by James Ash at Cubitt Town, London in 1864 for the Confederate States Navy.   She was badly damaged and captured by the United States Navy on 28 October 1864 off Wilmington, North Carolina.

History
Following condemnation by a prize court, Lady Sterling was bought by the U.S. Navy, repaired, armed, and commissioned as USS Lady Sterling and later renamed USS Hornet on 25 April 1865. In navy service she mainly operated in the Chesapeake Bay squadron.  In October 1865, Hornet escorted the Confederate ironclad  from Cuba to the United States.

Hornet was decommissioned on 15 December 1865 and sold into private ownership in 1869.  After the war Hornet was involved in several filibustering expeditions to Cuba under the names Hornet and Cuba, including an unsuccessful mission in January 1871 to deliver weapons and ammunition to Cuban rebels during the Ten Years' War.

Amorphophallus titanum
In bloom at New York Botanical Garden

Family: Araceae
Genus: Amorphophallus

Conophallus titanum Becc.
Amorphophallus titanum, also known as the titan arum, is a flowering plant with the largest unbranched inflorescence in the world. The titan arum's inflorescence is not as large as that of the talipot palm, Corypha umbraculifera, but the inflorescence of the talipot palm is branched rather than unbranched. The species is endemic to Sumatra.
Due to its odor, which is like the smell of a rotting corpse or carcass, the titan arum is characterized as a carrion flower, and is also known as the corpse flower or corpse plant (Indonesian: bunga bangkai – bunga means flower, while bangkai can be translated as corpse, cadaver, or carrion). For the same reason, the title corpse flower is also attributed to the genus Rafflesia.

10 Bibliography
Amorphophallus titanum derives its name from Ancient Greek ( άμορφος - amorphos, "without form, misshapen" + φαλλός - phallos, "phallus", and titan, "giant"). The popular name "titan arum" was coined by W.H. Hodge.[2]
Distribution[edit]
Amorphophallus titanum is native solely to western Sumatra, and western Java where it grows in openings in rainforests on limestone hills.[3] However, the plant is cultivated by botanical gardens and private collectors around the world.[1]
Two titan arum in Sumatra, Indonesia (ca. 1900-40); one in leaf, which can reach up to 6 metres (20 ft) tall, and one in bloom.
The titan arum's inflorescence can reach over 3 metres (10 ft) in height. Like the related cuckoo pint and calla lily, it consists of a fragrant spadix of flowers wrapped by a spathe, which looks like a large petal. In the case of the titan arum, the spathe is a deep green on the outside and dark burgundy red on the inside, with a deeply furrowed texture. The spadix is hollow and resembles a large baguette. Near the bottom of the spadix, hidden from view inside the sheath of the spathe, the spadix bears two rings of small flowers. The upper ring bears the male flowers, the lower ring is spangled with bright red-orange carpels. The "fragrance" of the titan arum resembles rotting meat, attracting carrion-eating beetles and flesh flies (family Sarcophagidae) that pollinate it. The inflorescence's deep red color and texture contribute to the illusion that the spathe is a piece of meat. During bloom, the tip of the spadix is approximately human body temperature, which helps the perfume volatilize; this heat is also believed to assist in the illusion that attracts carcass-eating insects.
Both male and female flowers grow in the same inflorescence. The female flowers open first, then a day or two following, the male flowers open. This usually prevents the flower from self-pollinating.
After the flower dies back, a single leaf, which reaches the size of a small tree, grows from the underground corm. The leaf grows on a somewhat green stalk that branches into three sections at the top, each containing many leaflets. The leaf structure can reach up to 6 metres (20 ft) tall and 5 metres (16 ft) across. Each year, the old leaf dies and a new one grows in its place. When the corm has stored enough energy, it becomes dormant for about four months. Then the process repeats.
Small corm of A. titanum, Muttart Conservatory, Edmonton, Canada.
The corm is the largest known, typically weighing around 50 kilograms (110 lb).[4] When a specimen at the Princess of Wales Conservatory, Kew Gardens, was repotted after its dormant period, the weight was recorded as 91 kilograms (201 lb).[5] In 2006, a corm in the Botanical Garden of Bonn, Germany was recorded at 117 kilograms (258 lb),[6] and an A. titanum grown in Gilford, New Hampshire by Dr. Louis Ricciardiello in 2010 weighed 138 kilograms (305 lb).[7][8] However the current record is held by a corm grown at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh, weighing 153.9 kilograms (339 lb) after 7 years growth from an initial corm the size of an orange.[9]
Cultivation[edit]
The titan arum grows in the wild only in the equatorial rainforests of Sumatra, Indonesia. It was first scientifically described in 1878 by Italian botanist Odoardo Beccari. The plant flowers only infrequently in the wild and even more rarely when cultivated. It first flowered in cultivation at the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew in London, in 1889, with over 100 cultivated blossoms since then. The first documented flowerings in the United States were at New York Botanical Garden in 1937 and 1939. This flowering also inspired the designation of the titan arum as the official flower of the Bronx in 1939, only to be replaced in 2000 by the day lily. The number of cultivated plants has increased in recent years, and it is not uncommon for there to be five or more flowering events in gardens around the world in a single year. The titan arum is more commonly available to the advanced gardener due to pollination techniques.

In 2003, the tallest bloom in cultivation, some 2.74 m (8 ft 11 in) high, was achieved at the Botanical Garden of the University of Bonn in Germany. The event was acknowledged by Guinness World Records.[10] On 20 October 2005, this record was broken at the botanical and zoological garden Wilhelma in Stuttgart, Germany; the bloom reached a height of 2.94 m (9 ft 6 in). The record was broken again by Louis Ricciardiello, whose specimen measured 3.1 m (10 ft 2.25 in) tall on 18 June 2010, when it was on display at Winnipesaukee Orchids in Gilford, New Hampshire, USA. This event, too, was acknowledged by Guinness World Records.[11][12]
In 2011, Roseville High School in California became the first high school in the world to successfully bring a titan arum to bloom.[13][14]
Blooming[edit]
Visitors photograph a blooming corpse flower on display at Phipps Conservatory in the United States in August 2013.
In cultivation, the titan arum generally requires 7–10 years of vegetative growth before blooming for the first time. After its initial blooming, there can be considerable variation in blooming frequency. Some plants may not bloom again for another 7–10 years while others may bloom every two to three years.[15] There have also been documented cases of back-to-back blooms occurring within a year[16] and corms simultaneously sending up both a leaf (or two) and an inflorescence.[17] There has also been an occasion when a corm produced multiple simultaneous blooms.[18]
The spathe generally begins to open between mid-afternoon[19] and late evening and remains open all night. At this time, the female flowers are receptive to pollination. Although most spathes begin to wilt within twelve hours, some have been known to remain open for 24–48 hours. As the spathe wilts, the female flowers lose receptivity to pollination.
Self-pollination is normally considered impossible, but in 1999, Huntington Botanical Garden botanists hand-pollinated their plant with its own pollen from ground-up male flowers. The procedure was successful, resulting in fruit and ten fertile seeds from which several seedlings eventually were produced.[20] Additionally, a titan arum at Gustavus Adolphus College unexpectedly produced viable seed through self-pollination in 2011.[21]
Odor[edit]
As the spathe gradually opens, the spadix releases powerful odors to attract pollinators, insects which feed on dead animals or lay their eggs in rotting meat. The potency of the odor gradually increases from late evening until the middle of the night, when carrion beetles and flesh flies are active as pollinators, then tapers off towards morning.[22] Analyses of chemicals released by the spadix show the stench includes dimethyl trisulfide (like limburger cheese), dimethyl disulfide, trimethylamine (rotting fish), isovaleric acid (sweaty socks), benzyl alcohol (sweet floral scent), phenol (like Chloraseptic), and indole (like feces).[23][24]

Why is Sexual Orientation Discrimination Not Recognized in Federal Court?
Sexual orientation discrimination in the work place is not recognized on the Federal level, which is both shocking and disappointing. Although, sexual orientation discrimination is recognized in Illinois, there are situations where a claimant faced with sexual orientation discrimination has little to no recourse in state court. Those individuals are state employees. According to the ACLU, state employees are not entitled to damages for sexual orientation claims in state court. As we all know, in the legal profession the only true way to right a wrong is through money damages. Although, an injunction is possible, in many cases forcing an employer to re-hire an employee is not preferred as it leads to further conflict. As such, the state employee who has suffered sexual orientation discrimination must find a way to plead his/her case in federal court, where sexual orientation is not recognized on its face. What a conundrum.
However, Federal courts do recognize sex discrimination, where an employer is prohibited from making employment decisions based on an employees gender. In this regard, our Claimant may allege that he was discriminated for failure to conform to sex stereotypes and/or that sex discrimination is a form of cognizable sex discrimination. To plead sex stereotyping, the Claimant must state that his employer discriminated against him because he did not conform to stereotypes assigned to males. However, to plead sexual orientation discrimination as sex discrimination requires more finesse. The EEOC in Baldwin v. Foxx, stated the argument best:
"Under Title VII, allegations that an employer is discriminating against an employee based on the employee's non-conformity with sex stereotypes are sufficient to establish a viable sex discrimination claim. see Price Waterhouse v. Hopkins, 490 U.S. 228, 251 (1989)("we are beyond the day when an employer could evaluate employees by assuming or insisting that they matched the stereotype associated with their group."). Here, Plaintiff as alleged that he is a 'a homosexual male whose sexual orientation is not consistent with the Defendant's perception of acceptable gender roles,' that his 'status as a homosexual male did not conform to the Defendant's gender stereotypes associated with men under [his supervisor's] supervision or at the LOC,' and that 'his orientation as homosexual had removed him from [his supervisor's] preconceived definition of male'. As Plaintiff has alleged that Defendant denied him promotions and created a hostile work environment because of Plaintiff's nonconformity with male sex stereotypes, Plaintiff has met his burden of setting forth 'a short and plain statement of the claim showing that the Pleader is entitled to relief.'" http://www.eeoc.gov/decisions/0120133080.pdf
It appears that a Claimant who must or wishes to plead his case for sexual orientation discrimination in Federal court, must do so indirectly, which seems absurd given recent gains in gay marriage. Studies have found that a job is not just about money, but that it defines and validates our existence and self worth. In this regard, civil liberties should be protected in the work place just as much as it is protected in the home.
Our firm is at the helm of this issue in a recent case filing. Please see the following article for more information:

The Sebastopol CERT classes are intended to train people to be more prepared in their home and with their families. For many Sebastopol CERT grads, that's exactly what they want. However, the CERT training clearly points out our local first responders will be overwhelmed in a major disaster. Many CERT grads have found they are willing and able to do more to help when a local emergency or disaster happens. These CERT grads, and other similarly trained individuals, have volunteered to take or provide additional classes or to work directly in one of several areas: Map Your Neighborhood, Shelter, Traffic and Communications.
If you are interested to know how you might be able to volunteer to assist during an emergency, email info@sebastopolcert.org.

ICCA Congress in Paris
Viparis Hosts European Hub
von Maxi Neßmann
© Viparis
Viparis will welcome the 60th ICCA Congress European Hub from 25 to 27 October.
The 60th ICCA Congress, which brings together key stakeholders in the international meetings industry, will be held from 25 to 27 October in Cartagena, Columbia. This year's theme is "Forward to our Future": What does the future of the events industry look like in the post-Covid era? How can we reinvent ourselves as we confront the challenges that lie ahead? In 2021, with the pandemic still very much a reality, a great deal is at stake for the members of the International Congress and Convention Association.
After a global health crisis that has lasted nearly two years, ICCA has devised a new format. The main event will take place in Cartagena, but will also be held simultaneously in five regional Hubs around the world: Johannesburg, Abu-Dhabi, Seoul, Nagasaki and Paris.
Palais des Congrès d'Issy: European Hub host
Over 250 European Hub attendees from 29 different countries will gather at Palais des Congrès d'Issy. They will include representatives from 30 international congress organisation association, as well as ICCA members from venues and destinations throughout Europe that host congresses. Workshops will be offered on topics such as innovation, diversification, CSR and, more generally, current challenges facing the industry. Palais des Congrès d'Issy, a listed historical building from the 1930s, will offer participants a uniquely Parisian Art Déco atmosphere, as well as high-speed broadband connectivity for recording and live-streaming sessions to participants worldwide.
"Welcoming the European Hub of the first ICCA Congress to be held since the start of the pandemic is a source of pride for Viparis, and sends a very important signal."
Pablo Nakhlé-Cerruti, CEO, Viparis
Pablo Nakhlé-Cerruti, Viparis`CEO , says: "Welcoming the European Hub of the first ICCA Congress to be held since the start of the pandemic is a source of pride for Viparis, and sends a very important signal. In the months to come, working closely with all of our partners, Viparis will continue to bolster the appeal of Paris as a destination. The ICCA Congress provides a unique setting for collective reflection and action concerning the future of the events industry in general, and major international congresses in particular."
A warm welcome from Viparis and its destination partners
ICCA Congress European Hub attendees will also enjoy a number of special events organised by Viparis and its partners. A gala welcome will be held at La Serre, Viparis's new events space on the rooftop of Pavilion 6 at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles exhibition complex. La Serre offers 420 sq m of interior space and a 520 sq m covered terrace overlooking Europe's largest urban rooftop farm. Congress participants, who will register for the event using a facial recognition system, will be able to learn about and try out a range of technological innovations. These include a meeting with startups at French Event Booster, Viparis's innovation platform for the event industry, and a visit to a brand-new augmented reality studio created by Novelty. As for accommodation, they will be hosted at either Mama Shelter or Novotel, two Accor hotels located inside Paris Expo Porte de Versailles complex, and just a short walk from the Palais des Congrès d'Issy.
Viparis and its partners are proud to host the European Hub of the 60th edition of the ICCA Congress, which has not been held in Paris since the ICCA was established in the early 1960s.

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) – Brazil is at the center of concern over the Zika virus and a researcher from this area is starting his work there today.
From the Pitt Center for Vaccine Research to Brazil, Dr. Ernesto Marques is making an important trip.
"The health authorities were expecting in 2015 either a dengue or chikungunya outbreak, and something else came up, with very unexpected consequences that at the beginning, no one imagined that was a very serious disease," Dr. Marques said.
The serious disease is the mosquito-borne virus called Zika.
The surprise was the alarming number of babies born with microcephaly, or abnormally small heads — a marker of neurologic problems. It's a rare condition — usually just one in 10,000 births.
"It got the point there were 18 in the same ward," Dr. Marques said.
From interviews with new mothers of babies with microcephaly, it seems symptoms of a viral infection in the first trimester are an important element of their history.
"There is a lot of evidences that support it is indeed Zika causing, but it still needs definitive proof," Dr. Marques said.
The research Dr. Marques will be doing in Brazil moves in that direction — comparing cases of illness with similar people not infected. Also, he will be establishing the natural history of Zika by monitoring people with early symptoms through the first several days of illness.
"I don't think it's a problem only for Brazil. It's a problem for the whole world. And I'm concerned with Brazilian children the same as I'm concerned with African or American children the same way," Dr. Marques said.
In addition to the important work Dr. Marques will be doing, other pressing questions would include how do we protect ourselves against Zika virus now, what do we do for people who are infected and pregnant, and how can we help these babies who are being born with microcephaly?
