Philadelphia Orchestra to be first Western orchestra to play in Mongolia
Company strikes up cultural partnership with government of Mongolia

Yannick Nézet-Séguin, Music Director of the Philadelphia Orchestra.
The Philadelphia Orchestra has created an exciting cultural partnership with the government of Mongolia. The company announced Thursday that it would strike up a residence of sorts in Mongolia's capital, Ulaanbaatar, in the summer of 2017.
The residency will include two full orchestra concerts, as well as a series of events throughout the city. The Philadelphia Orchestra will be teaming up with Mongolian musicians and local schools and institutions to create the events. The big announcement was made in a special ceremony at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C.
"Having honed our in-residence model over several years, we now look forward to this next extraordinary cultural exchange, sharing person to person the common language of music in schools, hospitals, and with our fellow Mongolian musicians," Orchestra President and CEO Allison Vulgamore said in a statement.
The Philadelphia Orchestra will be the first Western orchestra to perform in the country. It's no coincidence that 2017 also marks the 30th anniversary of official U.S.-Mongolian diplomatic relations, adding some extra weight to this exercise in cross-cultural understanding. This is also hardly the first time The Philadelphia Orchestra has served as a cultural ambassador for the U.S.: In 1973, President Richard Nixon asked The Philadelphia Orchestra to visit China, and the company was also the first orchestra to perform in Vietnam after the Vietnam War.

Do you think you could sell everything and travel the world? That's what Jason Marshall did. Before this round-the-world trip, Marshall describes himself as a typical corporate guy in America: the job, the business trips, "the SUV and the golden retrievers." He also had the 50-hour workweek and a son growing up fast. On his son's birthday, he realized that if he wanted to travel together as a family, he wanted to do it now. And he did, but not without careful planning and organization.
This is an another great interview for family travelers. If you're still in the early stages, Jason describes the steps he took to plan and prepare. For the more experienced family travelers, he shares some incredible reasons to visit four remarkably diverse locations: the Indian Province of Kerala, Romania in the fall, Rwanda and Panama, where Jason is considering moving his family after their family round-the-world trip.
The Marshalls had never traveled more than a week together before this, and now they're considering staying on the road longer. He explains his reasons why, not just in emotional terms, but in financial ones, as well. Don't miss it.
Type of travel: Round-the-world trip originally planed for 11 months, extending to 24 months.

The cute girl in these photos? Yup, that's my little sis. And that dapper young man? He's her fiancé. They're fixing to tie their knot in January and I couldn't be happier for these two beautiful people. It was such a pleasure to capture their sweet connection and excitement in photos for them this afternoon. The weather was perfect, the light was magical, and the budding love between them is honest and pure. Congratulations Tess and Kyle. I'm so thrilled for you two!

Q: LWC HTML not rendering child element again when track variable is changed I want child LWC to render again when the track variable is changed. When I am passing the custom event from the child component to the parent component and trying to manipulate the track variable on the event arrival to the parent, the child component is still not getting retrieved.
Below is the HTML:
<template>

Treatment Details

        <lightning-messages>
        </lightning-messages>

            Treatment Details

        <template for:each={itemList} for:item="item" for:index="index">
            <c-agronomy-treatments-child render-data={item} key={item.id} onaddfields={addElement}>
            </c-agronomy-treatments-child>
        </template>

Below is the JS:
import { LightningElement, api, track } from 'lwc';
import treatmentsIcon from '@salesforce/resourceUrl/Treatments_Icon';
export default class AgronomyTreatments extends LightningElement {
    TreatmentsIcon = treatmentsIcon;
    num;
    @track itemList = [
        {
            id: 1,
            productNames: ["Product_3__c","Product_4__c"] ,
            productRates: ["Product_3_Rate__c","Product_4_Rate__c"]
        }
    ];
    addElement(event){
        console.log('messsage is '+event.detail);
        this.num = event.detail;
        for (var i = 0; i < this.itemList.length; i++) {
            if (this.itemList[i].id == this.num) {
                this.itemList[i].productNames.shift();
                this.itemList[i].productRates.shift();
            }
        }
    }
}

onaddfields is the custom event getting dispatched from the child element. Even though i manipulate the itemList object, the child component c-agronomy-treatments-child is not rendering again.

Q: Tiles loaded but not visible using OpenLayers TileStache Overlay If I load only the tilestache layer, it is visible. If I load both bing and tilestache layer, the tilestache layer is not visible. When I look at the firebug console, the tiles are being loaded.
_map = new OpenLayers.Map({div: 'map'});
bing = new OpenLayers.Layer.Bing({
    key: 'AqR9gcXm14-PKVQsWrL8H9A_RnusHZCzQKX_tbJegzU1EOZGafcjzCYbcpkwukQh',
    type: 'Aerial'
});

tilestache = new OpenLayers.Layer.XYZ(
        'hul',
        'http://www.hyderabadurbanlab.com/tiles/tiles.py/hul2/${z}/${x}/${y}.png',
        {
          tileSize: new OpenLayers.Size(256, 256),
          tileOrigin: get_point(17.4099, 78.4761),
          sphericalMercator: true,
          isBaseLayer: false,
          transparent: true,
          opacity: 0.6,
          transitionEffect: 'resizing',
          buffer: 1,
          wrapDateLine: true
        }
    );
_map.addLayers([bing, tilestache]);

Attached is the screen shot of how it looks.

When I load just the tilestache layer, it looks like this:

I want the Bing maps as the base layer and the tilestache layer on top of it as an overlay.

A: When I set a value of 1 to the zoomOffset, the tilestache layer is visible.
Bing maps zoom levels start with 0. Looks like the tiles layer (like google) starts with 1. By giving a proper offset, tiles of the required zoom level are being requested and shown.

A: I think the problem you have mentioned stems from projection settings. Check out your map and layers projections.
var geographic = new OpenLayers.Projection("EPSG:4326");
var mercator = new OpenLayers.Projection("EPSG:900913");

or test it with sphericalMercator = false;

MLS, players union not backing down from CBA positions on free agency
With less than two weeks remaining until the start of the MLS regular season, neither MLS nor the MLS Players Union are backing down from their respective positions as it relates to negotiations on a new collective bargaining agreement.
While the issue of player compensation -- both in terms of minimum salaries and the overall salary cap -- is still to be hashed out, free agency remains the main sticking point. MLSPU executive board member Dan Kennedy indicated that the union membership remains committed to gaining increases on all of these issues.
"I don't want to say [free agency] is priority No. 1 because there is so much that goes into a CBA," he said. "But certainly we feel as players that every other sports league in the world -- whether it's soccer or not -- enjoys a form of free agency, and we feel that we're at a level where we're playing in the same arena. We need those same rights. Certainly we feel free agency is up there with some [salary] budget issues being salary cap and minimum salary."
Kennedy added that the union has no intention of using free agency as a bargaining chip as a way to extract concessions in other areas, and that he sees salaries and free agency as being two separate issues. In other words, he doesn't anticipate a large increase in the salary budget as being enough for the union to give up on its quest for free agency.
"I don't think we can be bought on [free agency]," he said. "The players feel so strongly about it."
That will not stop the league from trying. A league source who asked not to be identified indicated that MLS and its owners remain staunchly opposed to any kind of internal free agency. In addition to controlling costs, there is a desire on the part of MLS to protect the single entity system upon which it is based. Instead, the source highlighted that MLS intends to offer the union significant increases in both the salary cap and minimum salaries.
Two weeks before the season starts, the league and the players aren't moving off their stances regarding free agency.
"The league has been very clear, they're prepared to invest more money in the player pool," said the source. "We have every year, and we're prepared to do that now. This is very different than any other sports league. All of their CBAs were about cutting back compensation. Ours is about investing more."
That approach could be interpreted as a way of trying to split the union, especially given that free agency figures to impact just a fraction of the union membership every year. Kennedy insisted the union remains unified.
"When we poll the players, [free agency] continues to be on top of the list," he said. "At one point, it's going to affect everybody. It won't be year in and year out. In any sports league that's not the case. Players just want to have the right to choose where they go and ply their trade."
Both sides emphasized that there remains time to get a deal done. For that reason the league source said, "It's premature to talk about a work stoppage."
But there is a realization by both MLS and the MLSPU that it could happen, though the league source added that there has been "no talk" of using replacement players if there is a work stoppage.
"Nobody wants to have a strike," said the league source. "If the players choose to strike, they have that. We're not looking for that. We'll be prepared, and like everything else, we'll get through it. One thing we will not do is make an agreement that we think impairs our ability to grow the league, just to avoid a work stoppage. That we will not do. We've got too much into this now -- 20 years into it -- to just give up on something that we believe very strongly in."
Kennedy added: "We're prepared for it. It's crazy. At this point, I feel like with two weeks to go there's a lot that can be accomplished, but I'm prepared for a strike."
While a mediator has joined the discussions, most of those talks have been with only one side present. Both sides confirmed that there has only been one session so far where the mediator was present along with representatives from both sides. That is expected to change this week when meetings resume in New York.
The league source added that the presence of a mediator does provide a bit of hope, and that the negotiations are further along than they were five years ago at this stage. A union source indicated last week that items such as moving expenses and compensation for player appearances had been resolved.
"When we got to the mediator last time, there were literally no issues resolved. None," he said. "We've done a lot of that now."
This week should reveal if the momentum generated will aid in finding agreement on other issues as well.

On 5th May 2015 there was a general election in the U.K. Contrary to expectation there was a decisive result: the Conservative party won an overall majority – a very small majority (five seats), but enough to form a new Conservative government in Westminster.
The 2010 election result more or less reflected the Scottish electorate's verdict over the past several decades. A large majority of Scottish voters opted for Labour; for the most part, Labour couldn't command a majority in the House of Commons without that always-reliable Scottish vote. The Lib-Dems have traditionally held seats in the north of the country and the northern isles, plus a few in the east of the country and the Borders. Scottish Conservatives have never had much representation in the U.K. parliament. And the SNP would always pick up a handful of seats.
So how can the SNP landslide of 2015 be explained?
Most pundits have sought one or at the most two explanations. I think they're being simplistic. It seems to me that a number of factors have worked synergistically. My opinion is based not only on my knowledge of Scotland (I lived and worked there for many years) but also on a recent (post-election) visit to old friends in that country, whose explanations are well-informed and constitute a reasonable consensus.
First, there's the effect of the recent independence referendum. A decisive but not overwhelming majority of Scottish voters opted to remain part of the U.K. – the proportions were more or less 55% anti-independence and 45% pro-. Obviously the SNP, which is in power in the Scottish parliament, campaigned for the 'pro' side, and the other three main parties joined forces to campaign for the 'anti' side. After the referendum, the Scottish Labour Party elected a new leader, Jim Murphy. I don't doubt Mr Murphy's sincerity and political commitment, but he was and remains an ardent and outspoken 'anti' campaigner and – crucially – his public persona is widely considered unattractive. Many Scots, irrespective of their politics, distrust him. These considerations are likely to have influenced at least some voters to abandon their traditional Labour affiliation and support the SNP, not least because the SNP government in Edinburgh is popular in many parts of Scotland.
Second, the 2010 election led to a coalition government in Westminster, comprising around 80% Conservatives and 20% Lib-Dems. Inevitably, given the numbers, it was a Conservative-led coalition, something the vast majority of Scots disliked – not least because its 'austerity' programme had serious effects on poorer people throughout the U.K., including Scotland. Although the Lib-Dems can be credited with promoting several progressive policies that mitigated the worst effects of 'austerity', they've been perceived as propping up an unpopular Conservative government. Also, they campaigned against independence at the time of the referendum, which has cost them friends in many parts of Scotland. Therefore they've lost nine of their ten Scottish seats.
Third, Mr Cameron, the Prime Minister seeking (and in the event achieving) a return to office, attacked the leader of the Labour opposition by asking him to deny that if he were in a position to form the next government, he'd have to do so in coalition with the SNP. (The opinion polls were more or less right about the SNP surge.) The Labour leader, Ed Miliband, failed to answer Mr Cameron's challenge convincingly, and Mr Cameron exploited this weakness by spreading fear of the SNP among the electorate: they want to break up the United Kingdom by forcing another independence referendum, they want to scrap the Trident submarine defence system, and if you vote Labour you're going to let these disasters happen. In England, and possibly in Wales, this fear of Scottish independence worked. I heard many people in my part of England express fear of SNP influence on a Labour government, so they voted against Labour, i.e. for the Conservatives. No one seriously doubts that this played a significant part in Mr Cameron's electoral success. But his attempted fear-spreading had a contrary effect in Scotland. Afraid of the SNP, are you? Well, we hate you, so guess how we're going to vote!
Fourth, the SNP leadership has used a clever political tactic. Scottish Labour voters are mostly what is now called 'Old Labour', in other words democratic socialist, and they were never truly reconciled to the 'New Labour' of Tony Blair's government post-1997. Indeed, rumblings of discontent about 'New Labour' grew louder as the years passed, and although Labour continued to hold most of its traditional seats in Scotland in 2010, the solidity of the Labour vote had been undermined. As First Minister of Scotland prior to the referendum, the SNP leader, Alec Salmond, was aware of this change and began to exploit it. His successor as First Minister and leader of the SNP, Nicola Sturgeon, has done so more or less openly. Under her leadership, the SNP has more or less taken over the policies of Old Labour. Ms Sturgeon, a formidable and forthright debater, has openly campaigned for increased public spending, an end to austerity, and an emphasis on social justice and equality. The popularity of this political stance in her country is guaranteed.
Fifth, Ms Sturgeon has a well-earned reputation for straight talking. When political leaders are faced with challenging questions in a debate, they typically fail to answer: they dodge and hedge, or they trot out the official party line. Ms Sturgeon answers questions without prevarication. She also tends to wipe the floor with her political opponents during head-to-head confrontations. This earns respect, admiration and positive liking – not only from Scottish voters but from all the U.K. Many of my friends in England said "I wish Nicola Sturgeon could stand for election in this constituency – I'd vote for her!" (No wonder Mr Cameron described Ms Sturgeon as "the most dangerous woman in Britain".) Of course, as First Minister of Scotland, Ms Sturgeon couldn't be elected to a Westminster seat, but there isn't the slightest doubt that the 56 SNP MPs now elected to the House of Commons are her people. And one of those 56 is Alec Salmond, her predecessor as First Minister, who is sure to be a thorn in the new government's flesh; a very sharp, deep and effective thorn.
Five reasons for the SNP landslide? My analysis might not be exhaustive, but I believe it goes a considerable way towards explaining what happened in Scotland during the 2015 general election. As for the consequences: a Conservative majority of five in the House of Commons, determined to hold the U.K. together and prevent Scottish independence, and 56 SNP members on the opposition benches… Interesting times lie ahead!

Military planners have been assigned to key government departments as officials try to avoid problems in the event of a no-deal Brexit.
Staff have been deployed to plan "for a range of contingency scenarios", according to the Ministry of Defence.
Their role is understood to be exercise planning and overall command and control duties.
The move is believed to be in response to fears of major backlogs, involving lorries and goods at ports such as Dover, if there is no longer frictionless trade with EU nations.
Defence minister Tobias Ellwood told Forces News: "Absolutely it's right for us... to contingency plan.
"This is what we do - we have to work out all sorts of scenarios that might hit Britain," Mr Ellwood said.
"The support that we provide, the military assistance to civil authorities, is something that we do on a daily basis.
"Whether it's for flooding, or whether it's for any form of support that might be required, and that includes a no-deal scenario."
Transport Secretary Chris Grayling told Sky News on Sunday that he talks to Defence Secretary Gavin Williamson "quite regularly" about no-deal Brexit planning.

Jeremy Strong is an author that children choose to read, time and time again. Like it frantic? Like it funny? Split your sides with riotous rib-ticklers from the king of comedy, full of suspense, mystery, wild twists of fate – and Jeremy Strong's trademark cheeky chuckles! Whether it's a baby's bottom, a flying cow or a can of killer tomatoes, each of his books has a very silly special ingredient.
Born in 1949, Jeremy Strong has spent most of his life in a dream. At the age of three he fell out of a first floor window and landed on his head. He was in hospital for a week, with a broken arm and a headache. Luckily he recovered, although he was always accident-prone as a child. He broke various bones and had stitches for big head cuts. This was because he spent most of his time out in the fields near his house playing. The 'stitches score' went something like this: Riding a bike at a thousand miles an hour – five stitches. Falling out of tall trees – four stitches. Playing kiss-chase – three stitches.
At school he enjoyed playtime, lunchtime, and half past three. He also liked making things up and writing about them. He spent his teenage years writing poems for his girlfriend, Susan, until she gave in and married him.
After his eventful childhood he eventually became a primary school teacher, and is now a full time writer. He has written over 70 books, including the hugely popular Hundred Mile an Hour Dog books.
Nick Sharratt needs little introduction with books going down a storm time and time again. He has written and illustrated many books for children, and also enjoys great success illustrating books for Jacqueline Wilson and Jeremy Strong.
He was born in 1962 and trained at the St Martin's School of Art. Inspired by 1960s pop and graphic art, his work is instantly recognisable for its bold images and punchy colours. With lots of moving tabs, flaps to lift and other interactive features, as well as exciting wordplay and cheeky humour, Nick's books let children discover all the different ways in which books and words can work.
He lives and works in Brighton, in a studio overlooking the sea.

Writing for the Chicago Sun-Times, reliably left-wing columnist Neil Steinberg is disgusted by the U.S. Supreme Court's recent ruling against "buffer zones" at abortion clinics, saying that the unanimous decision proves women in the country are "second-class citizens."
Last week the Court unanimously rejected a Massachusetts law that mandated a 35-foot no-go zone from the street to the entrance of an abortion clinic, a zone where anti-abortion activists were prevented from approaching women attempting to enter.
The anti-abortion activists maintained that preventing them from approaching women entering such clinics was an illegal limit of their First Amendment right to free speech. Every single justice agreed, including all the liberal ones.
But the Sun-Times' Steinberg feels he knows better than the justices and decided that this re-affirmation of free speech is actually just another way to "deny women their rights."
Steinberg chose some odd comparisons to illustrate his June 29 article, too. He said that America would be against the SCOTUS decision if "only women got divorced" and anti-divorce activists could confront women at a law office. He also wondered how long America would put up with free speech if people "led bands of believers to try to persuade people not to buy cars" in front of car dealerships.
But his biggest problem was that he thinks the decision is a strike against the "truth" that anti-abortion activists are just like those Westboro wackos who wave signs that read "God Hates Fags" at our veterans' funerals. He also thinks that anti-abortion activists are "religious fanatics."
Anti-abortion activists are a "threat," Steinberg insisted, and the SCOTUS ruling doesn't take that into account.
The implicit threat, conveyed by tone, volume, proximity and past attacks, carries a burden that the law doesn't see. Like Westboro, they carefully choose a moment of vulnerability. We are so accustomed to these encounters, so inured with their talk of notional babies, we forget that, stripped of dogma, these are groups trying to press their religious beliefs upon the unwilling.
Claiming that "the powerful always see to themselves," Steinberg went on to employ some rhetoric about women that old-fashioned feminists might not appreciate. At the end of his piece, he calls women "powerless," for instance, "particularly young women."

Sandra Fluke on Hobby Lobby: 'A Woman's Boss Should Not Have a Say'
Sandra Fluke, whose campaign for free contraception elevated her to national prominence while she was still a law student at Georgetown University, denounced to the Supreme Court's 5-4 decision in the Burwell v. Hobby Lobby case: "A woman's boss should not have a say in her health care decisions," Fluke stated on Twitter.
A woman's boss should not have a say in her health care decisions-stakes are too high for us to be silent #HobbyLobby http://t.co/xZ247dqtMf
— Sandra Fluke (@SandraFluke) June 30, 2014
Fluke seems to have misunderstood–or miconstrued–the case. Hobby Lobby sued precisely because it did not want to have a say in, or be forced to pay for, the private contraceptive decisions of its employees. The company, which is run according to the owners' religious principles, objected to contraceptives that act as abortifacients.
Similarly, CNN's asked Hobby Lobby's attorney, Lori Windham, why she wanted to "bring the employer into what should be a very private decision-making process between a woman and her doctor." Windham's response: "Hobby Lobby would love to stay out of this, and leave this decision to a woman and her doctor."
Fluke had earlier said a ruling in favor of Hobby Lobby would be "a potential catastrophe for women's rights," adding: "Corporations are not people. Corporations cannot have religious views." Fluke recently placed second in the primary for California's 26th State Senate district, and will face fellow Democrat Ben Allen in the fall.

Defending the Indefensible: Honour Killings and the Limits of Free Speech
On Tuesday 24 June, the Sydney Opera House announced the cancellation of a talk entitled "Honour Killings Are Morally Justified", scheduled to be delivered at the annual Festival of Dangerous Ideas by Uthman Badar, a Sydney-based spokesman for the Islamist organisation Hizb ut-Tahrir. The full statement read as follows:
The Festival of Dangerous Ideas is intended to be a provocation to thought and discussion, rather than simply a provocation. It is always a matter of balance and judgement, and in this case a line has been crossed. Accordingly, we have decided not to proceed with the scheduled session with Uthman Badar. It is clear from the public reaction that the title has given the wrong impression of what Mr Badar intended to discuss. Neither Mr Badar, the St James Ethics Centre, nor Sydney Opera House in any way advocates honour killings or condones any form of violence against women.
Simon Longstaff, the executive director of the St. James Ethics Centre, which is organising and curating the Festival, then posted the following statement on twitter:
It is unclear from Longstaff's use of the passive voice whether he reluctantly assented to the talk's cancellation or whether it was a decision imposed upon him by the venue. Either way, he was clearly unhappy. But, like the venue, he conceded the title had been "a mistake" unreflective of Badar's arguments.
The difficulty with this is that by Badar's own account (which I have yet to see disputed by anyone connected with the event), the title of the session was not his idea, but was suggested by the St James Ethics Centre. He then wrote the talk to order. So if the title really does not match the content, it is because Badar did not deliver on his brief, which was the unambiguous defence of a barbaric practice. In a facebook post, published after the furore erupted but before the event was cancelled, Badar protested that this was indeed the case:
As for the content of my presentation, I wont [sic] be revealing much before the event itself. Surprise, surprise. I will, however, say that the suggestion that I would advocate for honour killings, as understand [sic] in the west, is ludicrous and something I would normally not deem worth of [sic] dignifying with a response. Rather, this is about discussing the issue at a deeper level, confronting accepted perceptions, assumptions and presumptions and seeing things from a different perspective. Is that too much to ask of the liberal mind?
Had the talk's title been framed as a question rather than an assertion, this would be an acceptable defence. But it wasn't, so it's simply an admission by Badar that he had failed to defend the pre-agreed proposition. That this failure is now being used to berate his critics is both an amusing irony and indicative of his lack of integrity.

Why I Can't Be Both an Economist and a Liberal
In today's America, I can't be both an economist and a liberal.
Economists should be bound by facts and reason. And I can't do that and embrace liberal positions on the minimum wage, climate change, and gender discrimination.
Raising prices for most anything reduces purchases. Simply, if beef or a plumbers' visit gets too high, folks eat more chicken and fix their own faucets.
The Congressional Budget Office estimates raising the federal minimum wage to $10.10 an hour, as President Obama proposes, would eliminate 500,000 to 1,000,000 jobs. Businesses would be forced to raise prices, lose customers, and lay off employees. Fast food restaurants will use more machines similar to automated checkout devices at drug stores and supermarkets.
Past increases in the federal minimum wage did not have large impacts on employment, because those were in line with inflation, and businesses adopted strategies expecting such periodic adjustments. The minimum wage was last reset in 2009 and raising it one dollar to $8.25 to preserve purchasing power would not cost many jobs.
Jumping it to $10.10 an hour, however, would fundamentally redefine the tradeoffs businesses face regarding unskilled labor and automation. The workers left standing would have more spending power but overall, increasing unemployment by at least 500,000 would take a bite out of GDP and growth from an already anemic economic recovery
Economists, fancying themselves liberal and advocates of the working poor, deny the lessons of hundreds of years of economic theory and history. Most act out of expediency to win favor with the media and powerful politicians.
The erosion of the Antarctic ice shelf and glaciers elsewhere should confirm to even casual observers that global temperatures are rising. Scientists arguing CO2 emissions contribute are not quacks but their prescriptions, and those of the president, have a naïve quality bordering on willful and malicious ignorance.
The new abundance of natural gas and market forces are already rapidly driving down U.S. CO2 emissions from power plants and other industrial facilities. A forced acceleration imposed by the EPA would cost billions of dollars and make economic and environmental problems worse.
With an economy half the size of the United States, China emits almost twice as much CO2. Raising costs for U.S. manufactures through the president's program will only send jobs to China where production is dirtier and increase global emissions.
Liberals argue by setting a good example the United States can bring China along.
Nonsense! American diplomats have not been able to get Beijing to respond on its undervalued currency or protectionism generally, abandon the use of force to settle territorial disputes in the China seas, or anything else the Chinese Communist Party sees as impairing economic growth or its quest to wrest leadership from the United States on global economic and security issues.
Universities are under constant pressure to ensure wider opportunities for women and as a matter of policy have programs to encourage enrollment, hiring,and promotion of women that discriminate against men.
All the data indicates that boys and young men are not doing as well in high school and are obtaining many fewer college degrees than women.
It seems to me that if American universities must discriminate against men to bring female faculty representation to parity with males—no matter their performance on the basis of objective criteria—it is only reasonable that universities be held accountable for not granting men as many degrees as women.
That has about as much chance of happening as I have to succeed Derek Jeter as shortstop for the New York Yankees. That would make about as much sense as liberal positions on the minimum wage, climate change, and gender discrimination at universities.

The Rise and Fall of David Cameron's 'Boy Genius' Tech Guru
A former rising star of the Tories' tech strategy, Rohan Silva was considered the future of the U.K. technology industry. But the Whitehall high flyer's career has stalled: he's now an office manager in Shoreditch. His promised "ed tech" startup failed to materialise and questions are being asked about how much he really achieved at Number 10. What went wrong?
"Ro," 33, who raised royal eyebrows earlier this month when he showed up for a reception with the Queen wearing a pair of Converse sneakers, was one of the darlings of Tech City—the Government's name for a cluster of technology businesses in east London, of which Silva claims in interviews to have been chief architect.
But, as the dust settles after the failure and mothballing of the Tech City quango, local businesses are scratching their heads, wondering how their cheerleader-in-chief ended up renting out desk space, instead of transforming the future of education, as he so noisily claimed he would when he abruptly left the government.
Silva's track record in government was impressive, if you believe what you read in the papers, the tech blogs and on his own assiduously maintained social media profiles. And with his tousled hair and natty dress sense, it's easy to imagine why a man who looks more like a Shoreditch barfly than a traditional senior policy advisor might have impressed the suits in Westminster and the blazers in Mayfair.
Born in Wakefield, Yorkshire, the son of Sri Lankan immigrant parents who came to the U.K. in the 1960s, his life before 2004 has been scrubbed from the internet. We only know what he tells the papers: for example, that his wife Kate McTiernan is an architect who specialises in designing mosques.
But he has, in his short career, been showered with honorifics from afar: Massachusetts Institute of Technology granted him research affiliate status last year, and he was made a policy fellow at Cambridge University in 2011, a position which lasted until 2013.
Independent editor Amol Rajan said last year that he was "destined for great things." A fawning profile appeared in trade rag Tech City News in 2013. (It's a gruesome read: you can almost see the writer's erection beneath his gushing prose.) TechCrunch's Mike Butcher similarly described him as "undoubtedly the prime architect of the U.K. government's sea change in attitudes towards the tech startup entrepreneur community."
Silva landed at job at the Treasury in 2004, on what his LinkedIn profile earnestly documents as the "Fast Stream."
After then working under George Osborne, Silva ended up in David Cameron's inner circle, alongside Andy Coulson and Patrick Rock. He quickly acquired a reputation as the Tory administration's man in the know when it came to Britain's digital economy. Seemingly, no one bothered to ask why Silva was so obsessed with consumer internet startups, the one segment of the technology industry the U.K. has never excelled at.
Silva was given broad license to suggest ideas to improve the conditions for internet startups—or, at least, to give the impression that Cameron's government would care about the scrappy cluster of digital businesses in east London. (The Tories were anxious in opposition to underscore their entrepreneurial credentials, so Silva was charged with dreaming up eye-catching but inexpensive initiatives to remind the electorate that the Conservatives were the party of small business.)
After a great deal of vacillation and several protracted negotiations with potential employers stretching back as far as 2011, Silva eventually left the government. "Rohan's too big for Number 10," one of Cameron's other advisors told the Independent at the time. Silva briefed several newspapers that he was departing to launch a tech startup that would change the face of education.
But the startup never launched, and Silva found himself calling in favours at Index Ventures, whose cosy relationship with the Cameron administration had already yielded dividends, with partner Saul Klein appointed the U.K.'s "Tech Envoy" to Israel. Index threw him a bone, and Silva accepted an "entrepreneur-in-residence" position—considered a stopgap for aspiring entrepreneurs who have failed to come up with an idea, raise funding of their own or join a startup. That position lasted a year.
Now, he runs Second Home, a co-working space in Shoreditch renting out desk space to startups, and is "Chair" of a website called Spacious that also advertises office space. It's quite the comedown for the man celebrated ad nauseam in the tech press, though perhaps it's fitting: after all, his crowning achievement, Tech City, has been a horrible failure, its operations quietly rolled into Boris Johnson's development agency, London & Partners, last year.
Tech City lost staff, funding and its national remit in the process, and now exists largely as a branding exercise within L&P. Its critics are bolder than ever before: barely a week goes by without an op ed criticising the outfit for inaction or for the negative consequences of its existence, such as prices going up around Old Street.
Of course, Tech City was championed by an eccentric cast of characters, most hand-picked by Silva, in its short but checkered history. Original chief executive Eric van der Kleij jumped ship before the bad press began to accumulate—though not, of course, to start his own company, since van der Kleij is still the subject of an individual voluntary arrangement, an alternative to bankruptcy.
Silva has made a point of claiming credit for the appointment of Joanna Shields, a former female tech role model who bombed out of a promising career at Google and Facebook to do public relations for the London borough of Islington. She then rapidly distanced herself from her "CEO" title at Tech City and now styles herself "Chairman," which better befits the reality that she has never been contactable by the public.
(Shields' only communication with startups has been the unsolicited emails she sends to Tech City CEOs, which offer no option to unsubscribe. That's against the law, and has earned her the nickname "Spam Queen" among some mean-spirited startup founders.)
Rohan Silva has a reasonable claim to other accomplishments in government besides Tech City, which is perhaps just as well. Yet just how much credit he can claim for policy innovations, and how effective those innovations have been, is the subject of debate. The "entrepreneur's visa," for example—useless outside the EU—appears to have been more of a team effort than Silva implies in his Index Ventures profile.
Silva also claimed he would be "tough on red tape," as though that were in any meaningful sense within his remit, but businesses say that, if anything, regulations have been increasing over the past few years, thanks to Brussels legislation over which the British government has no control.
Certainly, Silva can be said to have pioneered the science of ingratiating technology blowhards with government departments. Tens of millions of pounds have been spent on public relations since Tech City officially launched in 2011, but the beneficiaries have not been small businesses, who have only seen their rents go up: instead, careerists and vacuous motormouths have had their obeisance rewarded with lavish receptions at Buckingham Palace and press coverage foisted by the government upon credulous journalists.
In one newspaper profile last year, Silva went so far as to claim he "created" Tech City. That came as news to startups, which are the real, organic drivers of growth in the area. In fact it is difficult to establish what, precisely, has been achieved by the government, since its own metrics are so notoriously unreliable, where they exist.
Numbers that have emerged from the government departments claiming to measure the success of the Tech City initiative, whether they relate to employment, investment or simply the number of companies started, have been plucked from thin air, with the inevitable consequence that no one believes a word anyone in the public sector says any more.
This unnecessarily lost trust, a lack of credibility and the daily ridicule to which the Tech City project is now subjected, perhaps explain why its mastermind's accomplishments after government have been so bitterly unprepossessing. But the greatest mystery is how Rohan Silva reduced an entire industry to giggling, infatuated schoolgirls—attracting the sort of praise normally reserved for religious deities—while achieving vanishingly little for businesses suffocated by over-regulation and tax.

Saint Patrick used the shamrock to teach the people of Ireland about the Holy Trinity which is 'The father, and the son, and the Holy Spirit'. Saint Patrick used the shamrock to illustrate the Christian teaching of three persons and the one and only God. The shamrock used to be seen as sacred in Ireland during the pre-Christian days. This was all due to the shamrocks green colour and its over all shape. Many Irish people viewed the shamrock as a sign representing rebirth and eternal life. The number three was a sacred number in the pagan religion. Also, there were a number of triple goddesses in ancient Ireland. They were Brigid, Eriu and the Morrigan.


Carefully pick all shells out of crab meat and set aside. In a large mixing bowl, blend eggs, mayonnaise and lemon juice. Using a wire whisk, stir until well blended. Add Old Bay, mustard, and Parmesan, continue blending. Add all other ingredients except corn meal and oil. Work ingredients together well until mixture is blended and hold together. Form mixture into 3 oz cakes. Dredge cakes in corn meal and sauté in hot oil. Serve with cocktail and tartar sauce.


@Belle Ame, I'll still take it.
Could I also get a stable set to match her avatar please?
A calm but powerful pose, I'd love a semi-long mane and tail.
Otherwise, free reign, the meaning of her name is in the remarks.
Hiya! I would really like to get art for this horse.
Specifically, could you make the mood of it dark or morbid that resembles her name. (It's a classical piece). Free reign for everything else.
Since i believe there is a 6th spot.. ill take it. For this cutie. I prefer nameless art. Feel free to use his name as help ;) be cute if some mistletoe was in his mane or mouth. I love long thick manes and tails but isnt needed. Christmas/snowy theme.
Thankies! Ill go ahead and send payment.

Q: How to create an image grid/mortar with dynamic sizing while keeping images aspect ratio, without cropping? I need to dynamically place images in a grid/mortar view while keeping their original aspect ratio. Basically, I am trying to achieve a solution similar to that of Adobe Lightroom.

I originally tried to achieve this by fixing the height, dynamically changing the cell width based on the remaining row space and the image scale. However, because I am using scaleAspectFit the image is scaled, meaning that sometimes some images are cropped.
My guess is that I will have to dynamically play with the height as well, but I do not see how.
The code I am using to do the normalization process is:
var i = 0
while i < sizes.count {
    var maxWidth = collectionViewWidth // the width of the UICollectionView
    var rowWidth: CGFloat = 0.0
    var j = i
    while rowWidth < maxWidth, j < sizes.count {
        let belowThreshold = sizes[j].width < (maxWidth - rowWidth) * 1.30
        let remainsEnough = (maxWidth - rowWidth) / maxWidth > 0.3 && belowThreshold
        if belowThreshold || remainsEnough {
            rowWidth += sizes[j].width
            j += 1
        } else { break }
    }

    let spacing = CGFloat((j - i - 1) * 2)
    maxWidth -= spacing
    var newRowWidth: CGFloat = 0
    for l in i..<j {
        let x = (sizes[l].width * maxWidth) / rowWidth
        sizes[l].width = x.rounded(to: 3)
        newRowWidth += sizes[l].width
    }

    if newRowWidth >= maxWidth {
        let width = sizes[j-1].width - (newRowWidth - maxWidth).rounded(to: 3)
        sizes[j-1].width = width.rounded(to: 3)
    }

    i = j
}

Here's a GitHub URL to a sample project with what I currently have: https://github.com/abrahamduran/ios-mortar-view

Today marks one year that I've been within five pounds of my target weight of 175 pounds. Based on some questions I answered on Twitter, I wanted to share what's worked for me.
One of my goals post-Twitter was to get in better shape, so I started working out with a trainer in January 2011 to try to do just that. Despite training around three times a week, I didn't really see much progress.
That's because I was still eating whatever I wanted. In fact, I was probably eating worse than before because I felt it was justified since I was now working out. Also, that winter I was learning to ski, and felt that both counted as a lot of exercise (doubtful) and made it okay for me to eat a steady diet of mac 'n cheese, chili and beer.
The first real meaningful change I made was around April 2011, when I went to a party that served platters of sushi. I was inhaling rolls. Mid-feeding, I ran into a friend. We started talking about nutrition, and he mentioned how he'd started following the Slow Carb diet. Despite having a lot of friends who had found Tim Ferris-religion, I had never really looked into it, and was in fact somewhat put off by the cultishness that seemed to surround it.
On that point, a brief sidebar: I am not going to advocate for a specific diet. I think there are a number of approaches that work. One of the most frustrating things about nutrition is the disconnect between the inherent murkiness in the data (both in findings of studies and in knowing what you are eating) and the hyper-specificity for which people advocate. I think that people can achieve success with highly prescriptive diets but that is as much a function of starting a habit as it is the nutritional soundness of the diet itself.
That being said, the key insight I gained from this conversation and in reading Ferriss's book, The 4-Hour Body, was how much sugar was in so much of the food I was eating. Secondly I learned how sugar, more than anything else, contributed to weight gain. Up until this point I had never really thought of rice as sugar. Or juice. Or potatoes. I had been eating honey, fruit, and sweetened-yogurt parfaits with a large orange juice believing that I was making an immaculately healthy choice.
Around this time, I made a conscious choice to start limiting my sugar intake. That meant skipping potatoes and toast at breakfast, eating very little bread, and eliminating fruit juice and all sugary snacks. It also meant cultivating a habit of reading labels. I was shocked to learn, for example, that most "protein bars" contain as much sugar as a candy bar.
I am still tweaking what's in and out for me. For example, I am a zealot when it comes to steel-cut oats and try to eat them every day, as well as evangelize their glory. I eat fruit and legumes, which some low-carb diets ban. I also try to limit the amount of red meat I eat (cancer, ecology.) But most of the time, I still eat what is basically a low-ish carb diet.
The biggest drawback to this diet is that I am a little fussy when eating with other people. Certain kinds of food, like pizza, are hard to make work at all, and others require some substitutions (fruit instead of potatoes at breakfast or skipping rice/tortillas at Mexican).
My biggest current challenge is that I eat out a lot and cook very little. That makes it hard to know what exactly is in my meals. And when it comes to sauces or curries, a lot of the time the mystery ingredient is sugar. But I also don't freak out as much when I go off-diet because I have a longer track record of knowing what works for me. This leads into the second big change I made to lose weight.
When I started trying to lose weight in January 2011, I had neither a specific goal nor was I tracking any metrics. Seven months later, I got a Withings scale to track my weight and started weighing myself every morning before breakfast. This made a huge difference.
First, I found that I had already lost 25 pounds in the seven months since December 2010. I knew I was losing weight because of my limiting of carbs but was surprised to find it was that much.
I honestly think that avoiding sugars and tracking progress is 80% of the battle. If I had done just that, I probably still would have reached my target weight. But there are a couple of other things I do that I would be remiss not to share.
Most notably is exercise. I confess to having become a gym rat in the last two years which is still weird for me to admit because I never played sports growing up and looked down at the idea of exercise. But I absolutely love it now. My weekly routine involves a lot of gym time (trainer sessions, cardio, yoga), but that's not a lifestyle that works for everyone and is definitely not a starting point.
That said, two pieces of advice: First, if you're going to start exercising, incorporate resistance/strength training. People trying to lose weight often avoid lifting weights because they worry about getting bulky. But my experience is that I saw much better weight loss progress once I started doing more weights. Reddit Fitness (which I recommend and lurk on) has entire sections of its high-quality FAQ dedicated to debunking the bulkiness myth.
Second, cardio is important, but I got better results in terms of weight loss once I switched from running long distances at lower speed to doing high-intensity interval training. Now I run twice a week for only 20 minutes at a time. I alternate between one minute of sprinting and one minute of jogging. Do that eight times with room for cool-down and warm-up and that's it. Remember to stretch (another of my Lift habits… one I struggle with).
The other major change I made in the last six months was to stop drinking. This has had almost as much impact as other dietary changes, though I recognize that for most people it's a little extreme. The fact is that it's pretty easy to consume 20% extra calories for the day through alcohol. And those calories are nutrition-less and can lead to other bad dietary choices. The clincher for me was that I found I slept way better once I gave up booze.
As with the low-carb diet habit, I'm not 100% booze-free. I still have a drink on occasion and, like with the low-carb stuff, the social pressure is the hardest part of stopping completely. But I've been pretty amazed at the effect of limiting alcohol, and I want to keep it up. Pro-tip: Ordering a club soda is the way of signaling "I'm not drinking" without having to make a whole thing of it.
I'm a bit compulsive, so the trick for me was to find a way to channel those tendencies into something productive. Tracking proved to be a key tool. Rewiring my brain to think of scarfing bread rolls as the same thing as eating sugar was the other one.
Having always struggled with weight, I still get anxious that I am going to wake up 50 pounds heavier because of the cheesecake I had at dinner last night. But after one year of being at my target weight, I understand more about what it takes for me to live a healthier life. The bigger goal is trying to be more at ease with where I am now rather than always striving for a more ideal future.
I like the work about the work. Places practiced include: Blogger, Google, Twitter, Obvious, Branch, Medium, San Francisco and New York.
You head off into the fog with some friends because you're curious about what's ahead. And you think that once you get there you'll be able to see more than you can see now.


RECOGNISING that older Australians are being left behind by the steady march of technological change, Rockhampton Regional Council is intervening.
At this week's general meeting, councillors voted to fund three social initiatives to help older people become more technologically savvy.
They were the Get Online Week event, the Be Connected activation grant, and the Tech Savvy Seniors Queensland grant.
Set to take place next Wednesday at the Rockhampton Regional Library, the Get Online Expo Tech Connect launch aims to introduce potential participants to the learning opportunities and technology services offered through the library's technology centre.
The launch event called "#try1thing" will allow participants to meet the library technology centre staff and volunteers, and to create a 360 photo to view through a virtual reality headset, download one of the library apps, access and download an eBook, eAudiobook or eMagazine, take a selfie with the #try1thing selfie sign and learn how to post on social media.
The Good Things Foundation is leading the Be Connected grants program (also referred to as Digital Literacy for Older Australians - DLOA) which aims to support people over the age of 50 by delivering specifically designed workshops to help engage and build confidence in using technology.
Rockhampton Regional Library will deliver eight two-hour scheduled small group sessions and provide additional opportunities for one-on-one sessions, available will be available four times a week (16 per month) with volunteers. at scheduled times.
These additional one-on-one sessions will be particularly helpful if a participant was unable to make the regular session, needs extra assistance, or has a particular area of interest.
Tech Savvy Seniors Queensland is an ongoing partnership between the Queensland Government and Telstra and delivered by Rockhampton Regional Libraries over the past two years.
It will continue to provide seniors with the opportunity to participate in free digital literacy training sessions and activities to develop their skills and confidence.
Councillors approved the library's application for $15,000 from the State Library of Queensland, which would deliver 43 sessions to an estimated 258 participants.
Please contact the Library Technology Centre on 4936 8212 to RSVP for the Get Online Expo - Tech Connect Launch event.


Established in 1927, Troop 2 is a Boy Scouts of America registered organization providing a program featuring the learning of Scouting and life-oriented skills by a group of youth that love to learn and have fun! The Troop is proud to be home to a growing "nest" of 128 Eagle Scouts. The Troop is sponsored by the Sacred Heart of Jesus Church located in the town of Milford, MA.
The Troop scouting year runs from September through June each year. Meetings begin the first Thursday after Labor Day and traditionally end the second Thursday in June. The Troop meets every Thursday night while school is in session. Meetings are held at the Club Room in Milford Catholic Elementary school at 7 PM.
Each summer, the Troop attends Summer Camp during the third week of July at the E. Paul Robsham Jr. Scouting Reservation, affectionately known as Camp Resolute. Here the Scouts enjoy the week camping out every night, learning new Scout and life skills, and having fun with their Scouting brethren. It is here at Camp Resolute, where we have memorialized the legacy of former scoutmaster Roland "Papa Smurf" Rugoletti by erecting an new open air pavilion in his honor.
The Pavilion not only provides shelter for scouting activities, but serve as a "signpost" for Scouts, Leaders and visitors alike, as well as provide lighting for the nearby volleyball/"Nuke'm" court where Scouts enjoy their afternoons playing with their friends. With this new pavilion, these fun activities and more can be provided not only in the daylight hours, but in the evenings as well.
In 2017, Troop 2 celebrated its 90 years of Scouting -- but the best is yet to come, for many future scouts.

Marietta Marietta, GA 30060
NAIA Georgia Southeast
Private Very Small National competitor
I'm interested in this program!
Email coach
Meg Goddard
Tuesday night, Life University Director of Athletics Jayme Pendergast announced Meg Goddard will lead the women's soccer program, beginning in January 2023.
Goddard joins Life University after spending the previous six years as an assistant at NAIA institution Columbia College. At Columbia, Goddard served as assistant head coach for both the men's and women's programs before getting promoted in the fall of 2022 to associate head coach. During her time in Missouri, Goddard gained valuable NAIA tournament experience. The women's program, boasting an overall record of 106-20-6 during Goddard's tenure, gained six AMC conference tournament championships, five AMC regular season conference titles, and six NAIA national tournament appearances. The team earned an Elite 8 finish in 2016, with a Top 5 NAIA ranking in 2017. Additionally, Goddard helped foster ten NAIA All-Americans. The women's program finished the final NAIA poll ranked 11th for the most recent 2022 season.
The men's program saw similar success under Goddard's leadership, with the men's program earning four AMC regular season conference titles, six national tournament appearances, including an Elite 8 finish in 2017 and Final Four finishes in 2019, 2020, and 2021. The men's program ranked as high as #2 in the NAIA in 2019 and 2020 while producing 17 NAIA All-Americans. The men's program finished the final NAIA poll ranked 15th for the most recent 2022 season.
Since joining Columbia College athletics in 2016, Goddard was heavily involved in the tactical, technical, fitness, and social aspects of both the men's and women's programs, while also implementing off-season strength and conditioning programs.
Director of Athletics Jayme Pendergast spoke fondly of Goddard, stating, "Our candidate pool was so strong for this position and Meg really stood out as not just a strong coaching candidate but also a great personality fit. Being at a program like Columbia and having such deep national tournament experiences, Meg is quite familiar with how to have sustained success at the national level – a place we know our women's program can get to. Just as important, she spoke about the importance of the coach/student-athlete relationship and what she envisioned for a strong team culture. I am really excited to work with Meg and see how our program continues to develop under her leadership."
Prior to coaching, Goddard served as a team captain for Columbia from 2012-2014. As a midfielder, she helped the program win its first Conference Championship, Regular Season Championship, and NAIA National Tournament appearance in 2014.
"I am excited to join Life University and lead the women's soccer program," said Goddard. "I want to thank Jayme and the search committee for the opportunity to continue to build upon the success of the program. I am looking forward to getting introduced to the team and working to prepare for the fall"
Goddard holds a master's in Business Administration from Ottawa University. She earned a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration, Majoring in Sports Management, Marketing & Healthcare Management from Columbia College in 2014.

The Most Magical Date On Earth! Jojo Siwa & Girlfriend Kylie Prew Look Happier Than Ever At Disneyland — Photos
Source: Mega
By:Molly Claire Goddard
Jul. 8 2021, Published 6:17 p.m. ET
Love is in the air! Jojo Siwa and her girlfriend, Kylie Prew, seemed completely smitten with each other as they enjoyed a date day at Disneyland on Tuesday, July 6.
The two appeared to be having the best time together at the most magical place on earth as they held hands, cuddled, fed each other sweet beignets and even rode the Big Thunder Mountain rollercoaster.
The adorable duo, who went public with their relationship following the former Dance Moms star coming out (the child star identifies as pansexual) back at the beginning of the year, held on to each other as they made their way through the infamous amusement park.
IS JOJO SIWA HOLLYWOOD'S LATEST WILD CHILD? YOUTUBER'S SECRETS AND SCANDALS REVEALED
Upon Siwa's coming out, she explained to PEOPLE, "I still don't know what I am. It's like, I want to figure it out. And I have this joke. Her name is Kylie. And so I say that I'm Ky-sexual. But like, I don't know, bisexual, pansexual, queer, lesbian, gay, straight. I always just say gay because it just kind of covers it or queer because I think the keyword is cool."

It is nice to see the entertainer and her girlfriend so happy and relaxed, as the start of their summer may have been a rocky one. As OK! previously reported back in June, paramedics were called to Siwa's residence for a possible guest overdose during a Pride party.
Authorities arrived on scene to find that "a male around 30, allegedly overdosed on the potent hallucinogenic drug LSD." Sources claimed that the party attendee in question had "showed up to the party already high and in pretty rough shape." The man was quickly taken to a nearby hospital and fully recovered.

The star's huge Pride bash was also attended by the likes of Tana Mongeau and reportedly had all of the over-the-top activities like a bounce house, a bedazzled piano, a rainbow-dyed dog walking around and a Siwa Barbie wall.

Cloud droplets, ready for prime time
by Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
Cloud "seeds" are sent into the cloud condensation nucleation chamber (CCNC). Under supersaturation, some particles make cloud droplets and are separated from the particles that don't make droplets in the pumped counterflow virtual impactor (PCVI). The particle remains are then chemically analyzed with two different mass spectrometry techniques (AMS and PALMS). The number density of particles is counted using a condensation particle counter (CPC). These droplets are formed, separated, and characterized by size and composition using commercially available instruments, within typical operation parameters.
(PhysOrg.com) -- Some make the cut, some don't. Like auditions for the school play, scientists from Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and Goethe-University Frankfurt were looking for promising atmospheric particles that turn into cloud droplets, and then plotting their origins. Separating the formed droplets from the inactive particles, they uncovered the chemical structure of those that formed droplets. In doing so, they devised a method that can be used in real-life scenes to characterize these promising particles. Their research was published in Atmospheric Measurement Techniques.
Clouds have a starring role in the Earth's climate system. They create a cooling effect by reflecting and scattering sunlight away from the Earth. And, they carry and release—or don't release—rain and snow over the Earth. While clouds' effects are seen and felt, how clouds are formed, especially under the influence of tiny particles called aerosols suspended in the air, is still largely a mystery. This study looked at the particles that attract water at above 100 percent humidity, conditions typically found in a cloud, and the particles that don't. Revealing the true identity of these tiny particles will help solve some of the cloud mystery and their effects on floods and droughts.
Particles act as seeds for cloud droplets, which lead to clouds. But not all particles form droplets. Linking the effectiveness of three instruments, a research team led by Dr. Naruki Hiranuma at PNNL was able to produce, separate, and analyze cloud droplets. The team's process provides a path for future on-site characterization of those particles that form clouds.
"In the laboratory, we can't possibly reproduce all the chemical and physical cloud processes that happen in the atmosphere. So it's important to develop instruments we can take to the field, or in an aircraft, to get the true chemical identity of cloud-nucleating particles," said Hiranuma. "With this combination of off-the-shelf instruments, we can do just that."
The team used a commercially available cloud condensation nuclei chamber, or CCNC, to supersaturate particles to form cloud droplets. They immediately pushed all particles from the CCNC through a counterflow virtual impactor (CVI) using inertia to separate the droplets from inactivated particles. After separation, the droplets were chemically analyzed. The team used an aerosol mass spectrometer and a particle analysis by laser mass spectrometer to chemically characterize the residual material. Their procedure was validated to show that only droplets of a certain size made it through the CVI for analysis.
Under supersaturation conditions, some particles take up lots of water, some don't. Because of the dilution factor and flow restrictions of the instruments, the team had to start with a lot of particles to achieve enough droplets to characterize.
This research is the first to connect a commercial CCN, with a CVI and mass spectrometers to study the chemistry of aerosol particles that activate to cloud droplets.
In this study, the team characterized the composition of the activated or cloud-forming particles. They have planned a series of improvements to their methods to improve outflow and quantitatively characterize the aerosol particles.

Clouds have a starring role in the Earth's climate system. They create a cooling effect by reflecting and scattering sunlight away from the Earth.
Droplets of water condense on tiny aerosol particles and also on ion tracks produced by high energy cosmic rays as they traverse the atmosphere.
Some cosmic rays may come from deep inside the Sun - Earth's unstable heat source - that has primary control over Earth's continuously changing climate [1-3].

Like many schools around the nation, our students have been learning about voting and the political process over the past few months. Our teaching community has been focused on creating open and supportive environments for students to bring their questions and wonderings to light, as they explored the often divisive 2016 presidential election. Going into November, we knew that half of the country was going to be unhappy with the outcome. That's why we believe students should have the appropriate framing and closure to the election cycle to support their understanding and continued role in shaping our country's future.
Today, our educator team strived to arm students with age-appropriate knowledge and, when needed, coping strategies. As educators, and as parents, we wanted to share some of those tools and resources we've found to be helpful in our classrooms.
Teaching Tolerance, a project of the Southern Poverty Law Center, provides a wealth of resources to support the Election 2016 conversation and beyond.
Huffington Post's What Do We Tell the Children? highlights three concrete ways to support our students: tell them we will protect them, we will honor the outcome, and we will guide and support them in becoming responsible members of our democratic society.
The Zinn Education Project offers middle and high school centered lessons on illuminating the complexity within our country's history.
Teaching for Change provides teachers and parents with the tools to create schools where students learn to read, write and change the world. The site includes recommendations for early childhood anti-bias education, including articles as well as book lists for children and adults.
We are hopeful that these resources help bring children and adults closer together both as a community and a country.

Q: Python application only emits one time - real-time chat application I am building a real-time chat application utilizing Flask SocketIO, Python, & JavaScript.
I have two main problems I have not been able to solve.
1) When the user types and sends a message (the first time), it shows up twice. After refreshing the page, the page properly displays it only one time. In the console log, the "inside announce message" marker to show where the program is shows up 2x. The "end of send message section" from the python file only occurs once.
2) Subsequent messages the user tries to send do not get displayed in the chat window, although after refreshing the page, they are properly displayed in order. The message_data is properly logged on the console (in a previous socket.on function) as well as properly logged in the terminal from the print(message_data) python side. It does not seem to move from the end of def sendmsg(message_data) back into JS to the socket.on("announce message").
After observing the console log and what python prints to my terminal window, it seems that there is a failure for the message data to be sent from the python application to the JS file.
The application.py file:
@socketio.on("send message")
def sendmsg(message_data):

    room = session.get("current_channel")
    # add the new message to the list
    channelmessages[room].append(message_data)
    # if the messages exceed 100, delete the first one
    if (len(channelmessages[room]) > 100):
        channelmessages[room].popleft()
    emit("announce message", message_data, broadcast=True)
    print("end of send message section")
    print(message_data)

note: if I remove broadcast=True, the first message sends only once, but then other users do not see anything. I have not been able to implement a namespace, and for this project, only really need one chat room.
The scripts.js file:
socket.on('announce message', message_data => {
      console.log("inside announce message")
      //event.preventDefault();
      var message_list = document.getElementById('comment-list');
      const li = document.createElement('li');
      li.innerHTML = `

${message_data["user"]}: ${message_data["message_content"]}

${message_data["timestamp"]}

`;
      message_list.append(li);
      li.scrollIntoView();
    });

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated! I've been struggling with this project for an embarrassingly long time. Thank you!
