MOOC master's degree outpaces on-campus programs
By Jake New, Assistant Editor
The Georgia Institute of Technology has received a considerably larger number of applications for its MOOC-inspired online computer science master's degree than applicants for its on-campus counterparts combined.
Georgia Tech's MOOC master's degree drew much media attention last summer.
Over an enrollment period of 21 days, 2,359 people applied for Georgia Tech's online computer science master's degree program, a survey of the course found.
The total number of enrollment for all traditional, campus-based computer science master's degrees for the entirety of last year was 1,806.
"[That's] very strong application numbers with virtually no marketing," Georgia Tech noted in a summary of the survey.
That doesn't mean the program has gone without publicity.
The program is based on – and uses the technology behind – massive open online courses (MOOCs) built by Udacity, but differs in that none of the courses are free.
In total, the program would cost a student more than $6,500, which is still a deep discount when compared to the $44,000 price tag for on-campus students.
That discount, and that the program is the first MOOC-like degree of its kind, inspired a flood of national news coverage when the experiment was announced in May.
See Page 2 for a more detailed breakdown of what the applicants are like.

Cosying up
Justin Trudeau is in India this week – his first state visit to the country – in a bid to boost bilateral relations. On one hand the seven-day trip looks like a slam-dunk: Indian prime minister Narendra Modi has long been on an economic push for his country and the two leaders recently sat down at the World Economic Forum in Davos. Yet Canada is on the back foot here considering trade ties between the two countries took a hit last year, when India tweaked their regulations on imports of lentils and peas, which dramatically disadvantaged Canadian farmers. Considering that 11 of his government ministers have made the trek to India over the past two years, Trudeau will now be keen to turn actions into transactions.
Putting down roots
Young Italians looking for work during the country's recession often emigrated – but recently, more graduates are choosing to stay rooted in their land instead. About 50,000 Italians under the age of 35 are now employed in farming businesses and the number of those choosing to start up their own agricultural operations has increased by 35 per cent over the past two years. That rise has made Italy the country with the highest number of young workers in the agricultural sector in Europe. Though the move into the sector might be driven by lack of opportunity elsewhere, the bump in numbers is certainly a boon for the country's growing ambitions at home.
Drinking problem
Hong Kong has once again been voted the world's freest economy by the Heritage Foundation – for the 24th successive year, no less – but there are signs that the business-friendly city is taking a more grown-up approach to regulation. Lawmakers have this month voted to finally close a longstanding legal loophole that means there is no age restrictions on buying alcohol from shops. Six months from now the age limit will be set at 18, the same as it is in bars and clubs, as the government attempts to curb underage drinking and pour some water on "Club 7-Eleven" – a colloquial term among Hong Kong youth for buying cheap liquor from ubiquitous convenience stores to be consumed on the street. It's a case of more red tape, less Red Stripe.
Sin sells
Taschen's latest coffee-table botherer – 20th Century Alcohol and Tobacco: 100 Years of Stimulating Ads – is a masterpiece of sourcing and amassing the key advertisements that made the golden age of the "sin sector" sing. It's a chronological canter through Edwardian ads for London Life cork-tipped cigarettes ("Most Extraordinary"), lush Orientalism for Cascade Pure Whisky ("Mellow as Moonlight") and the squinting ruggedness of the Marlboro Man ("Come to where the flavor is"). There's sex too, courtesy of Miller Lite's "The Perfect 36-24-36" (in bottles, naturally). Big budgets led to bold campaigns, brands became behemoths and, with the stern Surgeon General's tightening of the rules by the end of the century, Benson & Hedges and Silk Cut turned graphic, surrealist and iconic. The creative class came of age courtesy of scotch and smokes and this book has the stylish scoop.
Surf photography
Award-winning photographer Craig Levers seems to be living the surfers' dream: his house overlooks one of New Zealand's best beaches, he edited New Zealand Surfing Magazine for eight years and has ridden the waves with the best Kiwis in the business. But, as Levers explains to our contributor Clair Urbahn, shooting the swell isn't always a barrel of laughs.

Analysis: Padres could be at Petco Park next month getting ready for season
Manny Machado keeps his distance while watching Eric Hosmer field balls at Petco Park on March 23. The pair could join teammates and coaches for spring training at the ballpark in June.
(K.C. Alfred/The San Diego Union-Tribune)
MLB appears hopeful that spring training could be held at teams' home ballparks in June
By Kevin Acee
May 4, 2020 1:47 PM PT
The Padres have maintained a skeleton crew at Petco Park to keep the venue maintained.
The organization could soon require a larger staff to get ready for an unprecedented baseball season, as the ballpark could be one of 30 that will host spring training activities in June.
In Major League Baseball's quest to play in 2020, the solution may have been found at home. It was probably there all along.
While those involved felt it was prudent to explore far-flung options in light of the uncertainty regarding the coronavirus, MLB's hope is to stage an abbreviated season with games played at home ballparks.
At least at the start, the plan is that those games will be played without fans in seats.
All those queried over the past few days said there remain several obstacles, chief among them working out adequate health protocols to keep those involved safe and contingencies for what happens if a spike in cases occurs in a city (or cities) that is home to a club. (All spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk publicly about any plans.)
No one indicated that decisions have been finalized, but they believe MLB will make clear its intentions by the middle of this month. The beginning of July is the target for opening day.
It is unclear what the season will look like. It appears to still be under consideration that the original schedule will be picked up in early July with games added during the All-Star break and tacked on in October. Multiple reports say MLB is considering re-aligning into three divisions for the 2020 season to limit travel.
The consensus among three people who have been involved in or directly briefed on league-level discussions is that "everything" remains under consideration. One executive described the possibility of starting spring training in a month as "up in the air" and possible but "not yet" probable.
Multiple people stressed the importance of remembering conference calls continue on a virtually constant basis among decision makers, the situation is fluid and MLB has been several steps ahead of what the public, players and coaches (and even, in some instances, front office personnel) are made aware of.
This latest possibility to make its way into the public eye, however, is viewed by multiple players and coaches as the most viable. Multiple people said Monday this plan also seems to be the most serious of those considered, in that they have actually heard more about it through official channels.
The stay-at-home plan for MLB includes spring training, with teams likely gearing up for the season working out over three weeks at their home ballparks. That would require longer hours for coaches, with players working out in smaller groups due to there being just one field, and intrasquad games instead of contests against other teams.
While July 1 is seen as the preferred and likely start date, some in the game have said in recent weeks that Aug. 1 is a drop-dead date for a season with at least 100 games. The belief is the postseason cannot stretch beyond November without interfering with the start of the 2021 season.
The ideas floated in the past month to play the entire season in Arizona and/or Florida, with players isolated from the outside world, may have been the safest when considered in a vacuum. But many players expressed reluctance and even defiance regarding those plans due to the possible requirement they be away from their families for several months. And despite extensive public discussion, some in the game said those plans haven't appeared to have significant traction.
According to multiple sources, teams are outlining contingencies for how they would host fans later this season. Those ideas include the possibility, characterized by one person as a virtual certainty, that the number of fans allowed in games would be far fewer than capacity.
Among the biggest challenges inherent in the reintroduction of fans at games, as it is has been for many issues regarding starting the season, is the different stages cities are at in terms of their coronavirus containment.
Playing a season without fans remains a financial concern for owners. As a whole, upwards of 70 percent of teams' revenue comes from gate receipts. The ability to actually play this season could depend on owners agreeing to increased revenue sharing and players agreeing to a pay cut.
It was outlined in the March agreement between owners and the MLB Players Association that players would receive a prorated portion of their salary based on the number of games played, and some players and union officials have reportedly balked at any further reduction.
Several Padres players have said they believe an agreement can be reached that gets the game started again.
"It comes down to what sacrifices are we willing to make," Padres catcher Austin Hedges, the team's Players Association representative, said in April.
Responding last week to a general question about the many plans seemingly in the works, relief pitcher Drew Pomeranz said, "We're all kind of prepared to see what happens. … If we have an opportunity and they tell us we can start, then I think everyone will kind of look at it and decide to play."

I sometimes ask for outside perspective from people who aren't even at all familiar with the situation. Strangers, even. I test them by floating situations to which I know the answer first. If they're reasonable, I'll use them to figure it out.
How do you find people to ask? Do you talk to people on Tumblr or Reddit or something? Or in person? I can see how this might work, but having trouble figuring out how you'd identify people willing to have that kind of conversation with a stranger.


This week we created a sourceforge project to host our development of scikit-learn. Although the project already had a directory in scipy's repo, we needed more flexibility in the user management and in the mailing list creation, so we opted for SourceForge. To be honest, after using git and Google Code for bug tracking, I was not very excited about using subversion/sourceforge again. On the other hand, we needed some sort of compromise that would allow a very heterogeneous range of developers to work together, and after some (surprisingly civilized) emails and some chatting with Gael, we agreed that SourceForge was indeed the best choice. In case you are interested, there's a (preliminary) web page with more info. You might also want to have a look at the previous project's scipy web page.

The Pumper is a single battery mod that is an adaptation of the Luna, and the Spruzza. The body resembles the Luna form factor and the squonk bottle was derived from the spruzza. The body was made more round to make the mod more ergonomic making the Pumper comfortable to fire with the thumb or pointer finger! It is constructed of a high grade 304 stainless steel and a luxurious stabilized wood for a lightweight and beautiful design. The button proudly holds the ASMODUS wheel logo and is recessed to better help the user from auto firing. Let's talk about the bottle now, the Squonk bottle is reminiscent from the Spruzza. It is constructed of high grade stainless steel on the bottom and top of the squonk bottle for a more premium feel. The Pumper squonk bottle has an 8ml liquid capacity. The bottle removal system is amazingly easy to use. The bottle can be removed simply by pushing in the bottle and twisting it to unlock the door, them simply push the bottle out! The bottle can be refilled simply by removing the tube held by 2 Orings.

Known colloquially as E&H, Emory, or simply "The College", Emory and Henry is a liberal arts college located in Emory, Virginia. The campus sits on 331 acres in a rural setting. Home to just under 1,000 undergraduate and graduate students Emory and Henry hopes to inspire their students to ultimately "Increase in Excellence".
With a 10:1 student to teacher ratio, administrators and faculty at Emory and Henry focuses on transforming each student's life so they may reach their full potential. Through the years, they continue to challenge each student to form their own ideas and be able to think critically when it comes to human emotions and experiences. By doing this, the college intends for its students to go on and live "lives of service, productive careers, and global citizenship."
Regarded as the oldest college in Southwest Virginia, and one of the few colleges whose campus is listed on the National Historic Register, Emory and Henry College was founded in 1836. It gets its name from both Methodist bishop John Emory and Virginia's first governor, Patrick Henry. The school explains that Emory "symbolizes belief in the union of faith and learning" and Henry "represents the commitment to the ideals of freedom and civic virtue". These are traits that administrators at Emory and Henry holds their students to today.
With more than 70% of the population living on campus and home to over 20 resident halls, Emory and Henry emphasizes the importance of students living on campus. With options ranging from modern resident halls to single family houses, administers hope each student will feel safe and comfortable in their new abode. Because so many students live on campus, the school is home to 14 resident halls and homes. Students can choose from first year housing, upperclass housing or theme homes such as Honors House and Women's Eco House.
When students are not studying one of the 50 majors that Emory and Henry offers, they can take part in one of 70 student organizations on campus or take advantage of numerous varsity sports. From spiritual groups to multi-cultural organizations to Greek life, students have a variety of interactive options open to them.
Athletics are a big part of Emory and Henry College. The school participates in Division III athletics and belong to the Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC). Their mascot is "The Wasps." Although the college offers numerous athletic teams such as soccer, basketball, and baseball they are known for their football team. Emory and Henry's has won 11 ODAC championships which is more than any other college in the conference.
Emory and Henry prides themselves in offering their students generous financial aid packages that include scholarships, grants, and loans, to assist them with covering the tuition costs that are just under $40,000 a year.
According to U.S. News and World Report, Emory and Henry ranked 61st out of 266 schools in the category of "least debt." Graduates at Emory and Henry tend to have lower debt than any other school in Virginia, with an average debt of just $20,000.

Q: kotlin.UninitializedPropertyAccessException: lateinit property ans has not been initialized The toPascalCase function is intended to convert strings containing spaces or - to Pascal case.
Below is my code ->
fun toPascalCase(str: String): String {
    lateinit var ans: String

    for(i in str) {
        if(i != ' ' && i != '-') {
            ans += i
        }
    }
    return ans
}

fun main() {

toPascalCase("Harsh kumar-singh")

}

I have used the lateinit keyword before ans variable. In the for loop I have initialized the ans variable but still the compiler throws the following error ->
Exception in thread "main" kotlin.UninitializedPropertyAccessException: lateinit property ans has not

Please help me with the code. Thank you

A: Instead of lateinit var, you should use a simple var initializing it to an empty string.
fun toPascalCase(str: String): String {
    var ans = ""

Planescape with class-less D&D 1.0.0
ssfsx17
Location: San Francisco Region
Re: Planescape with class-less D&D
Change in recruitment policy:
Core players are defined as: The veterans of the Rappan Athuk campaign who have also played in the Planescape campaign
Henceforth, all new players will be admitted solely from the following sets of people:
- Connections of the core players
- Members of the C&C community in good standing with the core players
This policy will remain in effect until a more stringent process is developed for those not belonging to one of the privileged sets of people. It finally occurs to me that if heartless corporations prepare such processes for work, then I need to make similar preparations for recruiting for group play, too. Based on the amount of free time I've had lately, that is definitely not anytime soon.

When it comes to having more levity than not, having more silly conversations with everything in the world than not, etc., I have to admit that my style is a very bad option.
(warning - pontificating commences)
I have an addiction to complicated settings in which most people live in a dense urban environment, most people act in their rational self-interest, have things they want to get done ASAP, have a large spectrum between good and evil, and must make hard decisions about which factions to please. I also find myself naturally drawn towards settings that portray a constant oppressive atmosphere, in which the heroes have to do little scrappy actions here and there to secure a small amount of happiness in their immediate circle. So, my favorite settings and media include Shadowrun, BattleTech, Tactics Ogre, the reboot of Battlestar Galactica, Star Trek Discovery, Onyx Path's Chronicles of Darkness, and of course, the Planescape setting.
Why has so much of the pop-culture zeitgeist turned in these directions? A Song of Ice And Fire / Game of Thrones, Battle Royale, Westworld, Mr. Robot, The Wire, The Hunger Games, Star Wars: Rogue One - the list goes on and on. What is it about the condition that TV-watchers exist in that results in these coming to the fore? There are detailed treatises on this subject. The reductionist interpretation is that the kinds of people who can afford to buy media these days can relate to these grim and oppressive environments more than anything else. By immersing themselves in it, they can feel that their real lives are less bad in comparison. By understanding visceral human pains, they derive more empathy for people outside of their culture.
This zeitgeist is criticized for being nihilistic, cynical, perhaps even eroding away at the foundations of society itself. If everyone just grinds through at a depressed level, nothing will change for the better, everything will eventually change for the worse - or so the critics say. There are some treatises with more details, although I do not have links to them at the moment.
How to turn the current game away from that direction?
What I can offer is one or more of the following:
- One player gets plot points to alter the game. The plot points will be use-them-or-lose-them and refreshed each session. The plot points can do things such as:
--- 1 point -> change an NPC's alignment by one horizontal or vertical step. Three points can be spent to change two NPCs' alignments by a diagonal step.
--- 1 point -> change or create a detail in a scene. For example, if a room is completely empty, then the plot point could add a possibly-important clue to the room.
- The party packs up everything and moves to a northern part of the Outlands, where everything is a lot more good-biased. Or the party moves to a prime material world that has a lot less war going on.
- Force the remaining evil character to change, so that more of the party's time is spent taking quests from the Good Association and the like, and more of the party's time is spent hanging out in good areas.
- A new "Session Zero" - in which most of the characters are rebooted or swapped-out so that more time can be spent on the characters having fun together, and having more synergized backstories. Also ensure that characters' personal quests don't involve attaining evil power or spending too much with evil creatures. In this case, evil characters would definitely be banned.
If these possibilities are not enough - that is perfectly understandable. I hope that the stars align, and the schedules open up, and the savings accounts get fuller, so that the right kind of GM for every type of player can run games more often and more consistently. I have to admit that the main reason the current game started is because another GM stopped, and the magic is never the same from one GM to another.
Regarding Combat Difficulty
Combat difficulty is much more fixable.
After hearing statements like "I like to have a challenge" and seeing enemy groups wipe quickly, I started kicking combat up a lot more notches. At first, this made decently challenging encounters. But now, the notches of difficulty are too many, and so shall be relaxed. I do not want a feeling of hopelessness to set in, and I do not want to bring back the human-wave metagame that was nearly required for Rappan Athuk. I have to consider the possibility that combats that the party runs from are demoralizing to the players, and not just to the characters.
Therefore, I will adjust my mindset from "the party can win if they prepare like this was Shadowrun" to "the party can wipe the enemies if they remember at least half of their abilities and items."

Q: Zend ErrorController view problems I'm having problems with the view for my error controller view in a ZF application. I am using a default layout, and just adding an error message to it. However, my images don't always show up in the view for 404 errors.
If I type a non-existent controller like : mysite.com/contactasddf, it shows the images fine
If I type a legit controller, but non-existent action like: mysite.com/contact/asdf, the images don't show up
Thoughts?

A: How are you referencing the images?
In HTML, use the BaseUrl helper, eg
<img src="<?php echo $this->baseUrl('images/foo.jpg') ?>">

Same goes for referencing stylesheets, just use relative paths from the stylesheet location within the CSS, eg
background-image: url(../images/foo.jpg);


Want to indulge in a nourishing clean meal in less than 20-minutes? Here's a simple one you can make with zero problems and still impress people! Want a variation? Swap ground grass-fed beef with ground lamb, shredded chicken, or stay vegan.
Use a potato peeler to prepare veggie ribbons. Create ribbons by repeating a peeling motion, going horizontally across the zucchini, squash, and carrots. Set ribbons aside.
In a large skillet, warm oil over medium heat. Saute onions and garlic for 5 minutes on low heat. Add your choice ground meat and cook over medium heat. Occasionally stir to avoid burning. Use a wooden spoon to break up any meat clumps. Add marinara sauce. Simmer for 10 minutes. Turn heat off. Add in veggie ribbons. Drizzle with more olive oil if desired. Garnish with fresh herbs and parmesan if desired. Season with sea salt and black pepper.


All my life, I've felt (and still continue to feel) like if I don't attend every social event out there that I'm going to be missing out on something. It's gotten worse with Facebook because then you know what you've been invited to or what events you're missing out on. You see pictures of these events and it looks like everyone had such a great time and you are nowhere to be found anywhere. I've run myself into the ground to make sure that I'm able to be at every event there is. There was a time in my life that I would volunteer for every dance performance, go to every party, be at school, be at work. Needless to say, the only way I realize that I had to stop overextending myself is when my body shut down on me. That's when I realized that my health was more important than being everywhere and took more time in taking care of myself.
Why do we do this to ourselves? The world isn't going to stop if we don't attend everything. I think part of it is (at least for myself) that I feel like people will forget I exist. That comes from a fear of not being important enough that people will remember me. If I always put myself in front of others, then they can't forget me, right?
It's an insecurity about who I am. This fear can extend not just my friends, but my family and my husband. It shows the lack of confidence I have in myself to know that I am important to someone. I have to say yes to everything so that these people always see me. And the only way to change it is to really start finding some confidence in who I am as a person. It's knowing that no one is truly that easily forgettable. It's knowing that if someone loves you, that no matter what you miss out on, you will get another chance.
I think this fear of missing out also applies to the fact that if I don't attend something, will I regret it forever? Will it change something in my life that I can never get back again? The truth is probably not. I have missed events before and yet, my life continues on the path that it does. What didn't happen can never happen, if that makes sense.
Now, my kid comes first. I will miss out on a lot of things. Events like parties at clubs, bars, movies aren't things that I can go to at this time. I have to just hope that I matter enough to people that they will still try to spend time with me when we can.

Proving Jiu-Jitsu is for everyone.
Home	antwerp-jiu-jitsu	2020-09-04T08:05:00+00:00
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a martial art, combat sport system that focuses on grappling and especially ground fighting. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu was formed from Kodokan judo ground fighting (newaza) fundamentals that were taught by a number of individuals including Takeo Yano, Mitsuyo Maeda and Soshihiro Satake. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu eventually came to be its own art through the experiments, practices, and adaptation of judo through Carlos and Helio Gracie (who passed their knowledge on to their extended family) as well as other instructors who were students of Maeda, such as Luiz Franca.
BJJ promotes the concept that a smaller, weaker person can successfully defend against a bigger, stronger, heavier assailant by using proper technique, leverage, and most notably, taking the fight to the ground, and then applying joint-locks and chokeholds to defeat the opponent. BJJ training can be used for sport grappling tournaments and in self-defense situations. Sparring (commonly referred to as rolling) and live drilling play a major role in training, and a premium is placed on performance, especially in competition, in relation to progress and ascension through its ranking system.
Since its inception in 1882, its parent art of judo was separated from older systems of Japanese jujutsu by an important difference that was passed on to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu: it is not solely a martial art, but it is also a sport; a method for promoting physical fitness and building character in young people; and, ultimately, a way of life.
Classes take place in Sporthal Kattenbroek, Edegem and minimum age for participating is 16 years old.
Before you fully dive into BJJ, we offer a free trial period of 3 lessons. After this trial you can choose the membership deal which suits you best.
€90*
€300*
* € 50 annual insurance and administration cost has to be paid separately

Q: How can I sync all of my Email addresses (including Gmail addresses) using iCloud? I just got an iPad and I'm trying to sync all of my Email addresses across all of my devices, including my iMac and iPhone.
I already had an Apple ID and had iCloud set up for my iPhone and iMac, but when I went to set up my Email on my iPad it prompted me to create an @me Email address. So I did. But none of my Emails are syncing up with my iMac, and I thought the whole purpose of creating an @me account was so that all of my Emails would sync up through iCloud.
What I have is a couple of different Gmail accounts that I would like to sync up using iCloud. Is there any way to do this?

A: Practically speaking, the answer would be no - iCloud doesn't "sync" multiple email accounts (this is built into iOS). @me.com email address is just like gmail - it is just another email account. If you really wanted to, you could have all your gmail forward to iCloud's @me.com email account, but that wouldn't be practical.
To have your Gmail accounts synced into your iPad, open Settings, on your iPad, tap Mail, Contacts, Calendars, select Add Account, for a Gmail account select Gmail, and enter your information in there. Repeat the process for every mail account you have. (You should notice your iCloud account in the list of email accounts when you first open it)

A: First, you can sync google's calendar/contacts/mail throughout all apple devices just like you can with iCloud.
The integration if very easy and reliable. In general, the procedure is:

*

*Go to the System or Application's settings

*Select the Accounts section and add your preferred service.

The easiest way to simplify and centralize your email services is
  to forward all the mail to just one address.

This address you can then setup with all your devices to sync in the settings preferences.

A: iCloud doesn't sync your email accounts, only your me.com account.
To truly sync the others you should have IMAP or Exchange accounts. You can then sync these with your devices, you can't do it with pop mail accounts.


Krish Kandiah asks how we should feel about the killing of Osama bin Laden. Here are some gut reactions.
rejoicing as an instant reaction. I notice that in the live update section of the BBC reports on the news one American counselled those of us who were unhappy to witness rejoicing on US streets as simply 'visceral'. But the Lord does not rejoice in the death of the wicked. If (as we assume) bin Laden was unrepentant, he missed the grace of God. That is no reason for joy. To those who chant, "USA! USA!" can I just say, this is not the Olympics or the World Cup.
Does that not sound uncomfortably like us? 'Arrogant, overfed and unconcerned'? Not helping the poor and needy – how many times have I heard since the savage cuts in Government spending here the idea that we should still spend on our own but not on those in developing nations? Too often, I'm afraid. Whatever judgment we Christians might believe God would have for Osama bin Laden, we should be careful and sober in what we claim for our own culture.
right to be wary of reprisals, however much it might be true as Frank Gardner, the BBC's security expert said on live television this morning, that Al Qaeda is weaker than it used to be.
Why? Because – to harp on a theme from my sabbatical reading two years ago – Al Qaeda is a 'starfish movement', not a 'spider movement'. It does not have a centralised hierarchical command that can be destroyed; it is an organisation with distributed values and the freedom for individual cells to act on their own in support of the cause.
Therefore, we have an urgent need for vigilance. The risk of revenge attacks is clearly high, and that means not only a concern for security but also a concern that governments do not use such a climate for their own benefit by upgrading the surveillance society generally. A need for vigilance prompts Christians to prayer.
That same vigilance may well be something we want to extend to our Muslim neighbours. This is not to suggest I think all roads lead to God – I don't – but a simple virtue of Christian neighbourliness and hospitality should lead us to look out for many of them, who could be subject to local hostilities. This might be a good time to remember the recent kindness of Muslims to Christians in Egypt, when some stood guard on Coptic church buildings at their Christmas celebrations, to deter further attacks.

What lessons need to be learnt on both sides.
That sounds more like a god of karma to me. The God of the Bible is the one who extends mercy to all who repent, however evil they have been (not that I am suggesting that bin Laden had). Indeed, be careful what you believe in, because if people believe in responding to violence with more violence we are left in an escalating vicious circle.
And as for the BNP, I've made my principled opposition to their stance clear on this blog in the past.

Q: how to dynamically add an new input field on "keydown" using jQuery? I want to have a new input field dynamically generated whenever I type on the last input field in the form.
This is my HTML codes
<form method = "POST" action="test2.php" >

<input type="text" name='text1'>

so when i input text in the input field above, a new input field should dynamically be generated.
For example.
<input type="text" name='text2'>

and if I input text again in the newly generated input field, a new field should be generated right after it as well, I want a
 gap between these inputs.

<input type="text" name='text3'>

Bellow the inputs, there should be a submit button. When I click this button the entire form (including all the dynamically generated input fields) should be sent to the database using Ajax and PHP.
<input type="submit" value="submit">

</form>

New UB Antarctic campaign to study global threats affecting the marine benthos
Studying the impact of the anthropic pressure and the natural threats that affect the Antarctic benthos —organisms that live in the seafloor— is the main objective of the new Antarctic campaign of the Challenge research project, led by Professor Conxita Àvila, from the Faculty of Biology and the Biodiversity Research Institute (IRBio) of the University of Barcelona.
From January 11 to March 20, the new research campaign of the UB will contribute to promote the knowledge on the Antarctic marine ecology and will provide new scientific data of interest to protect these extreme ecosystems that play a decisive role in the ecology of the planet, and which are threatened by the effects of the climate crisis.
Challenge is divided into five specific aims aimed at analysing the changes in ecological interactions, assessing changes in biodiversity, experimentally determining the acidification and biomineralization, quantifying marine waste —especially plastics— in the column of water, sediments and benthic invertebrates, and integrating the bonds between different agents related to the environmental change.
Challenge: challenges to protect the Antarctic benthos
"Our goal is to determine how some factors —for instance, temperature rise or the ocean acidification— affect a series of selected benthic organisms, and how the changes have an impact on the ecological interactions and the chemical ecology (symbiosis, pathologies, appearance of invasive species, etc.)", notes Conxita Àvila, professor at the Department of Evolutionary Biology, Ecology and Environmental Sciences. This campaign will undergo a sample collection and experiments that will enable four predoctoral researchers, who are conducting their doctoral theses at the UB, to work on their research.
The UB-IRBio team will apply several methodologies to assess the impact of changes on the biodiversity of the Antarctic benthos and the study of habitats and little-known biological groups, through a latitudinal gradient in different Antarctic marine areas. As part of the study, the researchers will compare the results between pristine and polluted areas due to the impact of tourism or the presence of research stations.
The addition of the results of the Challenge project on anthropic and environmental factors that threaten the Antarctic marine benthos —apart from the previous general knowledge on the Antarctic peninsula and nearby areas— will provide a great dataset and useful information for the international scientific community. In this context, the application of the assessment of the Good Environmental Status (GES) will enable researchers to establish a system of describers and indicators to present a GES operational definition for this Antarctic area of potential interest to evaluate potential additional activities in the Antarctic continent.
The new campaign will help promote the Antarctic science and the knowledge of previous projects led by Professor Ávila (Ecoquim, Actiquim, Distantcom and Bluebio), which were decisive to expand the knowledge on the biological heritage, phylogeography and the chemical ecology of Antarctic marine invertebrate communities. In previous campaigns, the UB-IRBio team made scientific contributions that broadened the horizon of knowledge on Antarctic biodiversity, with the findings of new species of marine invertebrates —molluscs, annelids, nemerteans, bryozoans, and other organisms —, in addition to identifying marine bioactive molecules of pharmaceutical interest and other advances on the knowledge of the ecology of the Antarctic benthic ecosystems.
Climate change and deglaciation in the Antarctica
Antarctic latitudes are also the scenario for the Nunantar project, led by Marc Oliva, Ramón y Cajal researcher and lecturer at the Faculty of Geography and History. Nunantar is an initiative promoted by the Foundation for Science and Technology (Portugal) to reconstruct in the space and time coordinates the deglaciation process in the Livingstone and King George islands —in the South Shetland Islands— from the Last Glacial Maximum. During this austral summer, a team of the project will go to extreme latitudes to unveil new researches on the role of the Antarctica and the Southern Ocean in the global climate system during the two past millennia.

Is anybody else getting an error code when trying to download the game? My internet isn't the problem as I've tried other vita games and they all download just not mixups.
Do you have enough free storage?
Yes I do. I tried redownloading other games and those download fine.
What is the error code please? I will investigate.
Thanks, are you running the latest firmware 3.70?
Assuming it shows Download Now on yout Vita, but when you click it an error message shows.
Dev may or may not need to contact Sony, would take a few hours to a day to fix. Last time it happened, worked the next day.
You would not be the only one this would happen to. (If sony error).
Had happen to everyone on the NA store when it came to Dragonfly Chronicles. Resolved in a day.
Assume the game show up in your dowload list?
acess psn store from pc, try adding to Vita download que?
Dev would have to contact Sony, would take a few hours to a day to fix.
You would not be the only one this would happen to.
Damn ): this is my first vita game where this has happened on launch, yea I tried downloading it from both my phone and computer and it would say could not download on my vita.
Well, I have the European version myself and I had no issues downloading the game myself. So perhaps it is something to do with the North American store acting up?
Though to be fair, ages, ages, ages ago (I don't recall when), I had trouble getting a game to download myself... so maybe it's just the odd problem that decides to show its face?
3rd time a Vita Launch week game had this issue. It always the NA region. Hopefully, check back in few hours or tmrw. It should work. You have the license and can download to PS4. Just have to wait.
I don't know whether that will be helpful, as it sounds to me like it's just things not quite syncing up in "the cloud" yet. We usually get some kind of launch issue, but it's usually with Europe region cross-buy, so this is new.
I'll try myself later (just need to set up a US region Vita).
I'm having the same issue with the Vita version as well.
Getting the same one myself.
Same error code for me hope its resolved soon.
I guess I will wait until this is resolved before buying the US version.
I'm also getting the same error code. I called network support and reported the issue, the CSR said that nobody else had yet reported an issue, but that he was forwarding it to the right team to take care of it. It's too bad that this problem is affecting everybody, but I admit I was relieved to see this wasn't a problem with my own vita.
Thank you for reporting it. We are still chasing it from this side too. I'm not sure what needs to be done.
For sure, the game will become available to you eventually if you purchased it. I'm sorry this is happening.
I too am getting this error and was just coming here to make a post and ask if anyone else was too. Glad I now know the error is not my Vita. Hopefully it all gets sorted out soon as I'm eager to try this game out.
Still same error. Please let us know when it starts working.


When it comes to living the jetset lifestyle, no one hits the skies as much as a pilot.
As long as we've been publishing Jetset magazine, we've never really taken the time to talk to some of the people who give us the ability to live the life we lead. To remedy that problem, we talked to Samuel Holmes, a private pilot who works for Discount Tire Corporation. He's been flying for years now, first with the military, and then in private, corporate and commercial planes, so he's a pretty solid expert on how the industry operates.
To get a peek inside his head and learn what the life of a pilot is like, we sat down with Holmes and talked to him about the average week, the pecking order of pilots and the world of corporate flying.
When did you first realize that you wanted to be a pilot?
I've loved airplanes ever since I was a little kid. I wanted to fly ever since I was 10 years old. I went the military route. I was in the Air Force — I got a scholarship and I got a pilot's slot down at William's Air Force Base for training — and I ended up flying a B-52 for 19 years. A lot of that time was in the reserves, and while I was in the reserves I did corporate flying on the weekdays.
What kind of planes do you primarily fly?
I normally fly the Leer 60 and the Challenger 300. The flight department that I'm in owns three airplanes, and they're three different types. Each of the pilots in the flight department fly two different types of airplanes, just to minimize training.
To someone who has never flown private or corporate before, explain how it works. Do you fly at a moment's notice? Are you on a tight schedule? We're not on alert, ready to take off in five minutes like we were when I flew the bombers. We have about a two-hour leash — we need to be ready to go within two hours. So we're on call a lot. The upside is that we get, as compensation for that, a lot of vacation days — at least in this operation we do — but any days that you're not on vacation you're on call, holidays and weekends included. You're always ready to go. I'm lucky in that with the operation that I'm in, there's a lot of good prior planning. We have very few pop-up, last-minute types of trips — maybe two a year.
Do you work directly for Discount Tire or do you work with an organization that they hire out?
Directly for Discount Tire Company.
What's the average week like for you?
We probably fly three to four days a week on average. The airplanes that we fly — they come in small, medium and large — I'm on the small and medium airplanes, so I draw a lot more of the day trips where I go out, pick someone up and bring them home to Scottsdale (Ariz.). So there are fewer nights on the road than in previous operations that I've been in. That's also really nice; there's a good quality of life.
I flew for Flex Jet, which is a fractional ownership company, which is close to a reserved schedule for an airline pilot. I quit that job to go fly for American Airlines, but as the junior guy, after 9/11, I was laid off. I went back to corporate and I flew for Sprint. I flew Gulfstreams for them for a couple of years, and I left there for Discount Tire.
Do you consider it better to fly corporate or private?
What is the pecking order like in the pilot industry?
Traditionally, the long-haul international airline pilot was the top pay scale, but that's been turned on its head in the past 10 years. In my opinion, corporate flying is where it's at. There are pros and cons to every job, and that doesn't matter if you're in aviation or you're not.
With corporate right now, I think there's more interesting flying for me personally. Right now the good corporate jobs are just better jobs than the airline jobs. The pay scales on all of the major airlines have been significantly reduced, the only ones that haven't taken gigantic pay cuts in the past few years are some of the Fed-Ex and UPS kind of companies — and I also believe Southwest Airlines — has never felt the pain of the rest of the aviation industry. There are very few companies left that aren't major airlines that are still what they once were. There aren't very many opportunities there. Those companies go to the same airports over and over again and there's no variety in the flying.
I like corporate because almost every trip is different. All of the different locations that we go to, and then the people that we fly are usually people we know that we fly day in and day out. They're passengers that we know and can trust — professionals. To me, I really prefer corporate to the airlines. Now I will caveat that by saying that when I was in the airlines, I was only there for about four years and I never had a chance to get to the top of the pecking order in the airlines. But I've always had more fun flying corporate than with the airlines.
Have you ever flown private?
Very little. When I was in the Air Force we had airplanes that we could rent and fly single-engine Pipers and stuff like that. I've done a little bit of that, but not a whole lot. These airplanes are the same as the company's, they're all privately owned by a single individual. We're regulated by FAR Part 91, which are the same rules I would have to abide by if I bought my own airplane. The airlines are under Part 121, which has a lot more stringent rules. There's a lot more oversight required. With Part 91, you have freedom to operate your airplane the way you please, but with a lot fewer restrictions. They're all just bare minimum safety restrictions. What ends up happening is that these private individuals will use every ounce of freedom to fly their airplane however they want, and corporations and even private companies that have their own airplanes will have an operations manual with rules that are more strict than the Part 91 rules. The safety factor is a lot higher in corporate flying departments than with your general owner/operator.
Which means that you're less likely to have problems long term.
Correct. It varies from company to company, but most that have their own airplane realize what a valuable asset that airplane is, and they're not going to let the maintenance lapse or cut corners in maintenance or anything like that. It doesn't matter what it costs, they're going to do it the safest way possible.


A few days ago, I was touched by the visit to Uganda of Chess legend Garry Kasparov.
Hailed as the greatest chess player, Kasparov's sojourn should have a lasting effect on Ugandan chess and personally, it inspired me to revive my interest in the game. Kasparov also served to remind me of a visit 37 years ago of another greatest, Pele, who temporarily put Kampala on a standstill.
Ugandans are a crazy lot. Sometime back, I eavesdropped a conversation in which a middle-aged man was convincing another that 80s crooner Billy Ocean was born in Gulu. I have also heard tales of people that believe Bob Marley was Ugandan-born.
Aside from the queer imaginations, I also meet people, some within sports circles, who doubt Pele ever stepped foot in Uganda. In reality, February 5, 1976 is the day the former Brazilian football legend jetted in at Entebbe to embark on a three-day tour of Uganda to promote development of youth football.
Playing for the New York Cosmos at the time, Pele's trip was sponsored by Pepsi and thousands of Ugandans turned up to get a glimpse of the football idol. Interestingly, Pele's visit to Uganda was not planned in advance; the legend, who had toured several African countries with Kenya being his last stop before flying back to the US, was convinced to visit Uganda at the eleventh hour.
"I was contacted by Kenya Football Federation (KFF) boss Kenneth Matiba whether Uganda was ready to receive him [Pele], to which I said why not," recalls Era Mugisa, who was Fufa and Cecafa boss at the time.
At Entebbe, Pele was received by NCS boss Ernest Oluo, NCS general secretary Martin Okoth and Mugisa. The following day, Fufa organised a football gala comprising of school teams from King's College Budo, Kololo SS, Lubaga Boys and Old Kampala SS as well as a select team from the central region youth sides. However, before kickoff, Pele gave pep talks to all the youngsters and later featured in group photos with each of the teams.
Pele, who made the first kick before the commencement of play, was greatly impressed by the skills exhibited by the youngsters and acknowledged every good pass with a clap.
"Uganda is on the right track in football development and you should stick to this kind of arrangement of encouraging players at a young age," he said afterwards.
One of the participating youngsters was Fred Musisi Kiyingi, who remembers the day with a tinge of pride. "It was a historical moment for me being part of the Kololo SS team," says the Daily Monitor journalist.
On February 7, Fufa organized another match between topflight sides Coffee and Uganda Prisons (Maroons). Before the game, there was speculation that Pele would showcase his extraordinary skills at half-time.
This only served to heighten the interest in the match and by 2pm, Nakivubo was full to capacity.
But what was supposed to be an interesting match turned out to be a boring game as all the 22 players on the pitch tried hard to impress the Brazilian, who seemed to be unimpressed by the level of football displayed.
To this day, it remains a mystery why Fufa opted for teams renowned for dull football tactics instead of giants like Express and KCC. The fans also expected a showdown between Uganda Cranes which was preparing for the 1976 Africa Cup of Nations and the Uganda Lions (Uganda second strings side) which had just returned from China where they played build-up games.
It didn't help matters at half time when Pele's limousine left the stadium. Angry fans hurled jeers towards the pavilion where officials sat. Indeed, many fans rushed for the exits as a handful stayed to dull goalless draw.

Louis of Besse
Capuchin pioneer of the social apostolate; b. Bessesur-Issole, France, Oct. 17, 1831; d. San Remo, Italy, Oct. 8, 1910. Before entering the Capuchins (1851) as alumnus of the Paris province, he was called Alphons Eliseus Chaix. After his ordination (1858) he dedicated himself to the service of the working people. In order to foster their cause and protect their interest he instituted societies and popular banks and founded also the periodical Union économique. He followed as an ideal the Bl. bernardino of feltre, concerning whose life and social activities he wrote two volumes: Le B. Bernardin de Feltre (Tours 1902). At the same time he was interested also in spirituality. In this field he wrote, among other works: Éclaircissement sur les oeuvres mystiques de S. Jean de la Croix (Paris 1893), which was translated into English under the title Light on Mount Carmel (London 1926); La Science de la prière (Paris 1903). The persecution of the religious orders (1903) forced him into exile.

Every single parent on this planet seems to have that one story. The one where, when they tell it, it's always a bit humorous, embarrassing, and begs the question of, "are they proud of their child for what they accomplished, or do they know it is so embarrassing, for the child, they just have to tell it?" In my case that story essentially boils down to how much I have loved Star Wars from an early age.
