Kurt Cobain's iconic hospital gown listed for auction
Brittany Vincent
Nirvana fans can own a veritable piece of history, with a very special item that's gone up for auction.
Fans with deep pockets can grab the hospital gown worn by the legendary frontman during the group's Reading Festival set in 1992. Kurt Cobain was pushed onto the stage in a wheelchair, but that didn't deter him from giving one of the band's best sets ever, and what would eventually come to be known as one of Reading's most iconic performances of all time.

The gown has been placed up for sale by the US-based auction house RR Auctions, and the starting bid begins at a whopping £40,000. Oh well, whatever, never mind, right? At least, not unless you're drowning in cash to drop on a hospital gown.
"This iconic and museum-quality piece represents the Nirvana frontman at his finest and most sardonic, jabbing pointedly at critics and detractors alike while retaining the intensely original showmanship that made him a living legend," said RR Auctions of the piece.
The Reading Festival proved to be Cobain's final performance in the U.K. Only two years later, the singer was found dead in his home in 1994. After his death, his wife Courtney Love gifted the gown to a fan in attendance at Cobain's memorial vigil, according to NME. The fan held onto it for 25 years before opting to put it up for sale, though there wasn't any sort of explanation given as to why they decided to part with a piece of rock history like that one.
If you've got enough cash lying around and are a massive Nirvana fan, perhaps the gown is something you'd like to stake your claim on. If so, you can check out the online auction via the official RR Auction website. It costs a pretty penny to own a piece of a rock legend, though.

SolarReserve's 110-megawatt Crescent Dunes solar energy plant near Tonopah.
Monday, July 6, 2015 | 2 a.m.
Where is solar energy headed in Nevada?
Owned by SolarReserve, the Crescent Dunes 110-megawatt concentrated solar power project in Tonopah was supposed to open in 2014 but experienced delays. It is in the commissioning phase now and is scheduled to open later this year. It is the state's largest solar power plant.
Thanks to an advanced energy storage system, officials say, it can produce power for customers even at night and when it is cloudy.
By comparison, the Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating System near the California-Nevada border was expected to produce enough electricity to power a city of 140,000 homes when it opened in early 2014, but in its first year, the plant produced only about half of its expected annual output. Clouds, jet contrails and weather had a greater effect on the plant than the owners had anticipated.
The Crescent Dunes project uses 17,500 heliostat mirrors to focus the sun's thermal energy to heat molten salt that flows from a 640-foot solar power tower to underground storage tanks, where the salt is used to produce steam and generate electricity. The salt can withstand a very high temperature without melting and can be used to store energy. Excess thermal energy is stored in the molten salt and can be called upon at any time to create additional power in the evening or when direct sunlight isn't available, increasing the stability of the grid and reducing the need for carbon pollution-emitting generators.
The Crescent Dunes array is the first of its kind in the United States and the tallest molten salt tower in the world.
The state basks in an average 250 sunny days a year, and the push to turn our clear skies and sun rays into energy grows every year.
In fact, Las Vegas is the third-sunniest city in the country, tied with Phoenix and Tucson, and just behind Yuma, Ariz., and Redding, Calif., according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
Nevada also ranks third in solar energy produced per capita, at 122.9 watts, trailing only Arizona and Hawaii. Nevada falls fourth in total amount of energy produced by solar power, behind Arizona, California and New Jersey.
There is enough solar capacity in the state to power 64,000 homes for a year, according to the trade group Solar Energy Industries Association, and Nevada installed 47 megawatts of new solar energy capacity in 2013, ranking 12th nationally. New projects and players in the field emerge frequently.
By state law, a certain percentage of electricity provided by NV Energy must come from renewable resources, with a specific emphasis on solar power. By 2021, NV Energy must build or acquire renewable energy sources capable of producing at least 50 megawatts. After 2016, 6 percent of NV Energy's retail electricity must come from solar plants, and by 2025, 25 percent must come from renewable sources.
Stephen Brown, director of UNLV's Center for Economic and Business Research, says commercial solar power in Nevada is more economically viable than other renewables, such as wind power, but still has a long way to go to be cost competitive.
Engineers and scientists are working on thinner, lighter materials to turn sunrays into electricity and designing new methods of storing power.
Renewable energy sources still are troubled by intermittency issues. Solar and wind power systems need backup from conventional energy sources to take over when the sun isn't shining or the wind isn't blowing.
The SolarReserve power plant, shown on Sept. 19, 2013, is northwest of Tonopah and features cutting edge technology and a 540-foot tower.
Valley Electric Association is a nonprofit co-op utility that has more than 17,000 members and was founded in 1965 to serve the electrical needs of farmers. As a relatively small utility with customers in California and Nevada, the association has taken up several projects aimed at expanding the use of solar energy.
In 2013, the co-op left the NV Energy Balancing Authority and joined the California Independent System Operator Corporation, which manages California's electricity grid, to allow renewable energy producers in Southern Nevada to transmit and sell power to other markets.
The co-op also partnered with the Renewable Energy Test Center, an engineering services provider and tester of renewable energy products in California. The center tests solar energy systems on Valley Electric property, then the organizations donate the power to local senior centers.
On a residential scale, Valley Electric has installed hundreds of solar water-heating systems in people's homes, which are expected to save up to $500 a year in energy costs, through a program in which all of the upfront costs are paid by the association and customers are charged a monthly fee. Co-op officials say the systems, which use sunshine to warm a heat-transfer fluid that is pumped into the water heater, eliminate 85 percent of a typical home's annual energy use to heat water.
The association also is looking into solar gardens, patches of land where the utility could operate photovoltaic panels and use the electricity to power nearby homes or apartments.
Like the salt system that will be used at Crescent Dunes, some of the most interesting developments in renewable power involve energy storage.
For example, Advanced Rail Energy Storage, headquartered in Santa Barbara, has developed a large-scale system of storing energy using electric locomotives. The company uses train cars loaded with rocks to store solar energy that can be used when the sun isn't shining.
The trains, powered by the electricity they generate but don't use when it's sunny, are driven up hill, then when the power is needed, the trains roll downhill using the force of gravity while their motors work as generators.
Valley Electric is partnering with Advanced Rail Energy Storage to bring the technology to Nevada.
The Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating System near Primm uses more than 300,000 mirrors to focus sunlight on boilers atop 459-foot power towers heating water into steam to create electricity.
Utility-scale solar energy projects primarily include photovoltaic systems that convert sunlight into electric currents or concentrated solar power systems that use mirrors and tracking devices to focus a large area of sunlight into a concentrated beam that is used as a heat source for conventional power plants.
Photovoltaic panels can be clustered on a roof to power a home or business, or spread across large swaths of land for utility-scale production.
Commonly known as solar cells, photovoltaic cells are made of semiconductor materials and come in sizes and shapes that range from smaller than a postage stamp to several inches across. The modules can be connected to form arrays of different sizes and with variable power outputs.
When light shines on a PV cell, electrons are knocked loose from the atoms in the cell's semiconductor material. If electrical conductors are attached to the positive and negative sides, the electrons can be captured as electricity.
Concentrated solar power systems, such as the one built in Ivanpah, Calif., use fields of mirrors to focus sunbeams, creating a heat source for conventional power systems.
At Ivanpah, for example, more than 300,000 computer-controlled mirrors track the sun in two dimensions and reflect the sunlight to boilers that sit atop three 459-foot towers. When the super beam of sunlight strikes the boiler pipes, it heats the water to create superheated steam. The steam then is piped from the boiler to a turbine, where electricity is generated. From there, transmission lines carry the power to homes and businesses.

Q: How to calculate the distance between a SCNText's Center and its Left and Right Corners How can I calculate distance between SCNText center and its left edge corner and its right edge corner.
For eg using the code below, if the word was "texas" the middle of the letter "x" would be the pivot point because it's in the middle of the word. How would I get the distance between the left side of the letter "t" and the letter "x". How would I get the distance between the right side of the letter "s" and the letter "x"
let material = SCNMaterial()
material.diffuse.contents = UIColor.red

let geometry = SCNText(string: "texas", extrusionDepth: 0.1)
geometry.flatness = 0
geometry.font = UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 6.3)
geometry.materials = [material]

let textNode = SCNNode()
textNode.geometry = geometry
textNode.geometry?.firstMaterial?.isDoubleSided = true

// set pivot point
let min = textNode.boundingBox.min
let max = textNode.boundingBox.max
textNode.pivot = SCNMatrix4MakeTranslation(
    min.x + (max.x - min.x)/2,
    min.y + (max.y - min.y)/2,
    min.z + (max.z - min.z)/2
)

A: let totalWidth: Float = textNode.boundingBox.max.x - textNode.boundingBox.min.x

let halfWidth: Float = totalWidth / 2

print("total width:", totalWidth)

print("half width:", halfWidth)

Sonata and XG300/XG350
Introducing the 2002 XG350
4doorGL
Last year, with the introduction of the luxurious XG sedan, Hyundai asked U.S. car buyers a question. Would they accept and embrace a $24,000 Hyundai? One year later it turns out the answer is a resounding yes. Sales of the XG, the largest, most luxurious and most expensive Hyundai ever sold in the U.S. have exceeded company plans and expectations.
For the 2002 model year the engine in the Hyundai XG sedan goes up in displacement from 3.0 liters to 3.5 liters and as a result the XG300 gets a new name and becomes the XG350. Even with the new engine and new name XG350 will continue to offer buyers the best value in the segment with an outstanding list of standard features including five-speed automatic transmission with Shiftronic manual control, four-wheel disc brakes with ABS and traction control, driver and passenger front and side air bags, leather seating surfaces and much more.
Larger than Hyundai's midsize Sonata model, the XG350 comes with a full complement of standard luxury features. The Hyundai XG350, a four-door, five-passenger sedan, competes in the upper middle/near luxury sedan segment.
"We are excited about the enhancements and refinements to the XG350 for 2002," said Finbarr O'Neill, president and chief executive officer of Hyundai Motor America. "It provides the next step up for our Sonata owners who love their Hyundai vehicles but are looking for a car with more room and more luxury features."
Among the car's impressive list of standard features are four-wheel disc brakes with ABS, air conditioning, cruise control, keyless entry, projector beam headlights, 16-inch alloy wheels fitted with Michelin tires, trip computer and front compartment front and side air bags.
The XG350 is powered by a sophisticated 3.5-liter V6 engine. It is a double overhead cam design and develops 195 horsepower at 6,000 RPM and 212 foot-pounds of torque at 4,000 RPM. The engine is mounted transversely and has a variable intake system and anti-vibration balance shaft. The vehicle's overall length is 191.5 inches, overall width 71.9 inches and overall height 55.9 inches. The wheelbase is 108.3 inches.
The XG350 features Hyundai's five-speed dual-gate Shiftronic automatic transmission with manual shift override. The Shiftronic transmission provides automatic or manual gear selection, allowing the driver to manually shift up or down the transmission range. The transmission is fully adaptive, adjusting to the driver.
The XG350 suspension features independent double wishbones in the front with an anti-roll bar. The rear features a multi-link suspension with dynamic toe control and anti-roll bar. Nitrogen gas-filled shocks are used at all four wheels.
The front shock absorbers have special low- velocity control valving to provide excellent high-speed ride control while still delivering a smooth ride.
Four-wheel disc brakes are standard on every XG350 model as is the four-wheel, four-sensor, four-channel anti-lock braking system (ABS). A foot pedal activates the emergency brake.
Comfort features in addition to those already mentioned include AM/FM/CD stereo system with six speakers, trip computer, power door locks, power windows, exterior mirrors with heated mirror elements and power driver and passenger seats.
"The XG350 is an extremely well-equipped vehicle that provides everything a driver would want at a price that represents an outstanding value," said O'Neill. "As we expand the Hyundai model line in the U.S. each new vehicle must advance the Hyundai brand and image. We believe the XG350 does exactly that, " he added.
Hyundai Motor America, based in Fountain Valley, Calif., is a subsidiary of Hyundai Motor Company of Korea. Hyundai cars and sport utility vehicles are distributed in the United States by Hyundai Motor America and are sold and serviced through more than 500 dealerships nationwide.

Q: R: "label" a row based on conditions from another data.table I have a data.table (A) that is over 100,000 rows long. There are 3 columns.

         chrom     start      end
     1:  chr1   6484847   6484896
     2:  chr1   6484896   6484945
     3:  chr1   6484945   6484994
     4:  chr1   6484994   6485043
     5:  chr1   6485043   6485092
    ---
183569:  chrX 106893605 106893654
183570:  chrX 106893654 106893703
183571:  chrX 106893703 106893752
183572:  chrX 106893752 106893801
183573:  chrX 106893801 106894256

I'd like to generate a new column named "gene" that provides a label for each row based annotations from another data.table which has ~90 rows (B). Seen below:

    chrom     start       end     gene
 1:  chr1   6484847   6521004     ESPN
 2:  chr1  41249683  41306124     KCNQ4
 3:  chr1  55464616  55474465     BSND
42:  chrX  82763268  82764775     POU3F4
43:  chrX 100600643 100603957     TIMM8A
44:  chrX 106871653 106894256     PRPS1

If the row start value in data.table A is within the row start and end values of data.table B I need the row in A to be labeled with the correct gene accordingly.
For example the resulting complete data.table A would be

         chrom     start      end   gene
     1:  chr1   6484847   6484896   ESPN
     2:  chr1   6484896   6484945   ESPN
     3:  chr1   6484945   6484994   ESPN
     4:  chr1   6484994   6485043   ESPN
     5:  chr1   6485043   6485092   ESPN
    ---
183569:  chrX 106893605 106893654   TIMM8A
183570:  chrX 106893654 106893703   TIMM8A
183571:  chrX 106893703 106893752   TIMM8A
183572:  chrX 106893752 106893801   TIMM8A
183573:  chrX 106893801 106894256   TIMM8A

I've attempted some nested loops to do this but that seems like it would take WAY too long. I think there must be a way to do this with the data.table package but I can't seem to figure it out.
Any and all suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

A: While it's certainly possible to do this in base R (or potentially using data.table), I would highly recommend using GenomicRanges; it's a very powerful and flexible R/Bioconductor library that's been designed for these kind of tasks.
Here is an example using GenomicRanges::findOverlaps:
# Sample data
df1 <- read.table(text =
    "chrom     start      end
     chr1   6484847   6484896
     chr1   6484896   6484945
     chr1   6484945   6484994
     chr1   6484994   6485043
     chr1   6485043   6485092", sep = "", header = T, stringsAsFactors = F);

df2 <- read.table(text =
    "chrom     start       end     gene
     chr1   6484847   6521004     ESPN
     chr1  41249683  41306124     KCNQ4
     chr1  55464616  55474465     BSND
     chrX  82763268  82764775     POU3F4
     chrX 100600643 100603957     TIMM8A
     chrX 106871653 106894256     PRPS1", sep = "", header = TRUE, stringsAsFactors = F);

# Convert to GRanges objects
gr1 <- with(df1, GRanges(chrom, IRanges(start = start, end = end)));
gr2 <- with(df2, GRanges(chrom, IRanges(start = start, end = end), gene = gene));

# Find features from gr1 that overlap with gr2
m <- findOverlaps(gr1, gr2);

# Add gene annotation as metadata to gr1
mcols(gr1)$gene[queryHits(m)] <- mcols(gr2)$gene[subjectHits(m)];
gr1;
#GRanges object with 5 ranges and 1 metadata column:
#      seqnames             ranges strand |        gene
#         <Rle>          <IRanges>  <Rle> | <character>
#  [1]     chr1 [6484847, 6484896]      * |        ESPN
#  [2]     chr1 [6484896, 6484945]      * |        ESPN
#  [3]     chr1 [6484945, 6484994]      * |        ESPN
#  [4]     chr1 [6484994, 6485043]      * |        ESPN
#  [5]     chr1 [6485043, 6485092]      * |        ESPN
#  -------
#  seqinfo: 1 sequence from an unspecified genome; no seqlengths

A: Besides the GRanges/IRanges solution by Maurits Evers, there is an alternative data.table approach using non-equi join and update on join.
A[B, on = .(chrom, start >= start, start <= end), gene := i.gene][]

    chrom     start       end  gene
 1:  chr1   6484847   6484896  ESPN
 2:  chr1   6484896   6484945  ESPN
 3:  chr1   6484945   6484994  ESPN
 4:  chr1   6484994   6485043  ESPN
 5:  chr1   6485043   6485092  ESPN
 6:  chrX 106893605 106893654 PRPS1
 7:  chrX 106893654 106893703 PRPS1
 8:  chrX 106893703 106893752 PRPS1
 9:  chrX 106893752 106893801 PRPS1
10:  chrX 106893801 106894256 PRPS1

According to the OP, A and B are already data.table objects. So, this approach avoids the coercion to GRanges objects.

Startup from chip veterans releases sensor to replace phone buttons
Dec 17 (Reuters) - UltraSense Systems on Tuesday released a sensor that aims to eliminate mechanical buttons on the sides of smartphones.
The San Jose, California-based startup was founded by semiconductor industry veterans from InvenSense, a company that supplied motion sensors to phone makers such as Apple Inc and others before being acquired by Japan's TDK Corp for about $1.3 billion in 2016.
The new firm is joining a race to replace physical buttons on the side of smart phones with technology based on ultrasonic sound waves. Some phone makers such as Asustek Computer Inc are already selling phones aimed at gamers that allow the user to hold the phone horizontally and tap "Air Triggers" along its top edge as virtual buttons with their index fingers while their thumbs tap the screen.
The company said on Tuesday that it had released a chip that is about the size of the head of a ballpoint pen that will allow users to tap the frame of a phone rather than mechanical buttons to control volume levels, take pictures or carry out other functions. The system works regardless of whether the phone frame is made of steel, aluminum, glass or plastic.
UltraSense said that the new chips will be included in several consumer electronic devices next year, but did not disclose which companies they would come from.
The company joins a growing field of competitors vying to replace mechanical buttons. In October, Sentons, a startup headed by an ex-Apple engineer, launched a chip aimed at the same purpose, saying that it had Asus and two other smart phone makers whose names it did not disclose signed up as customers.
Inside smart phones, every millimeter of space is highly prized by phone designers because it can be used to pack in more features like larger batteries or new, larger antennas that will be required to handle 5G, the next generation of mobile data networks. Replacing buttons with a chip also makes phones easier to manufacture, said Daniel Goehl, UltraSense's chief business officer
"We are seeing a paradigm shift," Goehl told Reuters in an interview. "We're eliminating mechanical buttons, physical cutouts and waterproofing." (Reporting by Stephen Nellis in San Francisco; Editing by Sandra Maler)

Invokana Lawsuit Court Issues New Order Addressing Bellwether Trial Case Selection
Published on May 4, 2017 by Laurie Villanueva
Personal injury lawsuits filed on behalf of individuals who suffered diabetic ketoacidosis and other serious side effects allegedly related to the use of Invokana or Invokamet continue to move forward in the U.S. District Court, District of New Jersey. According to a Case Management Order dated May 1st, the Court has established a discovery schedule that, among other things, addresses the selection of cases for the litigation's bellwether trials.
At least 230 Invokana and Invokamet lawsuits are currently undergoing coordinated pretrial proceedings in the District of New Jersey. In March, the Court had indicated its intention to convene a series of bellwether trials beginning in September 2018. These trials will act as test cases, and could provide insight into how juries might rule in similar claims involving the Type 2 diabetes drugs.
Bellwether Selection Schedule
The Court's May 1st Order directs the parties to submit a proposed Case Management Order by June 1, 2017 that sets forth the process and parameters for selecting bellwether plaintiffs, as well as the case categories that should be the first to proceed.

Invokana and Invokamet: Possible Complications and Side Effects
Invokana (canagliflozin) was approved by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) in March 2013 and was the first SGLT2 inhibitor cleared by the agency to treat Type 2 diabetes. Invokamet (canagliflozin and metformin) was approved by the FDA the following year.
In September 2015, the labels for Invokana and Invokamet were updated to include information about a possible increased risk of bone fractures. That December, the FDA announced that the labels for all SGLT2 inhibitor drugs would be modified with information about diabetic ketoacidosis, a dangerous condition that can lead to diabetic coma or death when not recognized and treated appropriately.
In May 2016, the FDA announced it was investigating a possible association between canagliflozin and an increased risk of lower limb amputations (mostly involving the toes). Just a month later, the agency ordered the manufacturers of several SGLT2 inhibitors, including Invokana and Invokamet, to strengthen kidney side effect warnings included on the labels, after the drugs were implicated in more than 100 reports of acute kidney injury.

Obama's immigration trap for the GOP
Tamar Jacoby / Tribune News Forum
Feb 20, 2015 at 12:01 AM Feb 20, 2015 at 5:31 PM
On Monday, a federal judge in Texas blocked President Obama�s latest executive actions on immigration. This is a short-term win for Republicans, who rightly believe the president lacked the authority to act unilaterally. But it does nothing to change the underlying political dynamic � Republicans have won a battle, but they�re still at risk of losing the immigration war.
The contrast between Democrats and Republicans is stark and getting starker every day. A Democratic president is fighting to shield unauthorized immigrants from deportation. If it weren�t for the court order, an additional 600,000 Dreamers who came to the U.S. illegally as children could have applied for legal status starting Wednesday.
Meanwhile, Republicans in Congress are headed into their sixth week trying to pass a measure that would pave the way for deporting not just the Dreamers, but all 11 million immigrants living illegally in the United States.
It�s a contrast sure to haunt the GOP through November 2016 and beyond.
The irony, particularly bitter for Republicans, is that it�s not an accurate picture of the party. Most GOP representatives in Congress support relief for Dreamers, and many, perhaps most, support legal status for unauthorized immigrants.
But congressional Republicans are caught in a trap. They�re fighting for a policy most of them don�t believe in as a way, they think, to strike back at the president � but in the end are hurting themselves more than they could ever hurt Obama.
Ten years ago, when the GOP-controlled House of Representatives passed a draconian immigration enforcement bill named for Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner (R-Wis.), most Republican lawmakers supported its provisions criminalizing immigrants and opening the door to mass deportations.
But the GOP has undergone a sea change since 2005: a slow, steady, bottom-up rethinking of the immigration issue. Today, not just national figures like Jeb Bush but most rank-and-file Republicans in Congress understand the need for far-reaching immigration reform. Last June, when reform advocates conducted an informal whip count, they found more than half of House Republicans prepared to vote for a path to legal status for some unauthorized immigrants.
So how did Republicans get trapped? Obama set the snare, but the GOP walked in of its own free will.
Obama surely knew that the immigration executive orders he issued in November would infuriate Republicans. He could have sent the same proposal up to Capitol Hill as a bill: legal status rather than citizenship for some but not all of those here illegally. It might just have passed if it had come up for a vote last year.
But that would have taken immigration off the table as a wedge issue, leveling the playing field between Republicans and Democrats. So instead, the president acted unilaterally, knowing the GOP would see that as a brazen abuse of authority � a violation the party had to fight, no matter what the consequences.
Republicans are right, as the Texas ruling confirms. But being right isn�t always enough in politics � you also have to win the war of perceptions. And right now, the GOP is losing that war � big time. Americans aren�t hearing the message about the president�s abuse of authority. They�re hearing the GOP say it hates immigrants.
What can Republicans do? How do they get out of the trap?
Turn the tables on Obama. Come together as a party and pass some constructive immigration measures, then send those bills to the president and let him look like the obstacle to progress.
This wouldn�t have to be comprehensive immigration reform. It wouldn�t even have to include legal status for unauthorized immigrants. A few small steps to fix the legal immigration system would signal that Republicans know there�s a problem and want to be part of solving it � that they recognize the benefits immigrants bring, especially legal immigrants.
An ideal package would start with enforcement, on the border and in the workplace. But it would also include some answers for what�s broken. Among the possibilities: streamlined visas for skilled professionals, some relief for produce growers who rely on migrant workers, and something to address the needs of employers in other sectors who depend on less-skilled immigrants to keep their businesses open and growing � perhaps a small temporary-worker program for cities and counties whose economies have bounced back to full employment.
The president would mock all these measures if they landed on his desk alone, without some form of legalization for unauthorized immigrants. But if he vetoed the bill, he�d be the problem � Democrats rather than Republicans would be the Party of No.
Of course, some conservatives on talk radio and elsewhere would also mock a change of course by Republicans � to them, any effort to get out of the trap would betray a lack of resolve. But when the course the party is on isn�t working, sticking to it is just foolish, not brave or principled.
Republicans don�t need to stand down. What they need to do is fight smarter. The good news: There�s a better way to beat the president and vote for what you believe on immigration � to do the right thing and get credit for it from voters looking for lawmakers who can come through with solutions.
Tamar Jacoby, a registered Republican, is president of ImmigrationWorks USA, a national federation of small-business owners in favor of immigration reform. He wrote this for the Los Angeles Times.


Everything changed for the husband the day he and his wife moved in together. Things live leaving the toilet seat up or not rinsing the dishes, he had a long learning curve ahead of him. But then he realized all the work his wife was doing, it far outweighed anything he had to do. He learned that after they had a child, she hadn't slept a full night in over four years. After taking some time to notice how she keeps the home running, he wants to say thanks.

Bluewater Africa Trailers will be at KAMERS/Makers from 4 – 9 December at Cornwall Hill College in Irene, Pretoria. The mobile water stations are the result of a partnership between the Swedish innovation of the Bluewater Group, and the African ingenuity of I-Drop Water, two integrated companies whose mission it is to provide clean drinking water to everyone, and to eliminate the use of single-use plastic. Bluewater Africa will also be showcasing their patented Bluewater Pro water purification technology and I-Drop Water will have their water dispensers in use and on display.
Bluewater Africa's presence at KAMERS/Makers is the extension of its partnership with the event and Consol Glass, to provide purified drinking water during SA's top handcraft and design show. The organisers approached Bluewater Africa and Consol Glass to provide glass bottles and drinking water to keep visitors hydrated, without the need for single-use plastic water bottles, leading the way in sustainable event management and ensuring our environment is placed first.
KAMERS/Makers is a six-day celebration of local decor, fashion, jewellery, gifts, food, wine and so much more, and at the recently held Cape event at Blaauwklippen Vineyards between Stellenbosch and Somerset West, the partnership with Bluewater Africa and Consol Glass resulted in over 7000 litres of water being used to refill glass bottles received by the nearly 13000 guests of the show. This equates to over 14 000 500ml plastic water bottles that were not purchased for drinking water during the show.
Bluewater is a privately-owned Swedish multinational company headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden specialising in advanced water purification tech and solutions for home, commercial and public drinking stations. The company saw the acute need for their services, both at events and in South African homes and commercial environments, when they provided water stations at the Volvo Ocean Race Village at the Waterfront in Cape Town in December 2017, during the height of the water crisis and the threat of Day Zero. The Bluewater Pro is a state-of-the-art water purifier that cleans water of practically all known contaminants, including lead, chemicals and micro-plastics, to provide a fresh, palate-pleasing taste.
Bluewater has partnered with social enterprise I-Drop Water – they design, build and install drinking water purification and dispensing machines. Formed in 2015 by husband and wife team James and Kate Steere, I-Drop uses nano-purification water filtration technology and a GSM-enabled platform to empower grocery store owners to purify and sell safe, affordable drinking water to their customers. Shoppers refill multi-use containers and pay by the litre for the drinking water they need, an innovative approach that saw the couple win the 2017 All Africa Business Leader Award – Innovator of the Year, hosted by CNBC Africa and Forbes Africa.
Founded by Swedish environmental entrepreneur Bengt Rittri in 2013, Bluewater has won numerous awards for its approach to providing access to clean drinking water to people in the USA, China, South East Asia, Europe and now South Africa.
The collaboration between the two companies has led to the design and build of the mobile Bluewater Africa Trailers, for use by events to provide drinking water to refill bottles or hydration packs (in the case of sports events).
The trailer replaces the Bluewater water stations used at the Volvo Ocean Race Village, that were made up of a jojo tank and a container that needed to be trucked in and offloaded. The Bluewater Africa Trailer is 2.8m wide x 3m long x 1.5m high and can be transported to any venue. The Bluewater Pro water purifier and a 1000 litres of water supply, fits into the trailer, providing purified drinking water, chilled or at room temperature, via two or four dispensers on the front of the trailer.
"We have built 6 working prototypes of the trailer since we started product-development earlier this year, and through multiple iterations and upgrades we now have a unique and versatile solution that we are extremely proud of and looking forward to scaling-out during 2019. Using I-Drop's GSM technology, we are able to supply accurate statistics on the amount of water consumed by visitors to these events, thereby quantifying the huge value of the service in eliminating single-use plastic," says James Steere, co-founder of I-Drop Water and Executive Director of Bluewater Africa.
The Trailer service is currently available in Cape Town and Johannesburg/Pretoria, and plans are in place to roll out the service to other centres around the country.
"Bluewater and I-Drop have put sustainability and removing single-use plastics at the heart of its business mission and we are honored to showcase our solutions at KAMERS/Makers to demonstrate how we can assist event organisers and consumers make sustainability a priority, and to ensure they are consuming only the purest drinking water," says Steere.


Yes, Chris, a physical accident or disease can produce problems (and be created by problems) beyond the physical.
But such things can be overcome and neutralized thus making the pilgrim stronger and more whole than he would have been had he not had the problem.
Therefore, it is important to judge each person by what he is at the moment rather than what we may perceive through the normal understanding of what is whole or not whole.
If Hitler had any spiritual advantage over Roosevelt because he had no physical handicap it was not obvious. Despite being crippled by polio, Roosevelt was definitely more centered in the soul than the arch enemy of mankind.
"You attain to immortality by filling your minds with truth. Therefore, become like unto vessels fit to receive the Master's words."

FBI: San Bernardino shooters were radicalized 'for quite some time' – CNN
All 14 victims identified
ISIS: Shooters were on our side
Who were the shooters?
The female shooter: Who was she?
Inside the killers' home
Doctor with rifle arrived before SWAT
What explains biggest attack since 9/11?
In mass killings, multiple shooters rare
When is a mass shooting terrorism?
"It's complicated," said another U.S. official. "They were looking to be radical and attach themselves to (a group)."
Investigators are working to determine if the pair ever met or took orders from ISIS leaders, or if anyone outside the United States had a hand or even knew of their plans. It's possible they did everything — from becoming radicalized to planning and executing the attack — on their own.
"Remember, oftentimes, it's on the Internet," David Bowdich, assistant director in charge of the FBI's Los Angeles field office, said of how terrorists get their inspiration and ideas. "We just don't know."
Sources: Pakistani police raid Malik's former home
Born in Chicago, Farook moved and spent most of his life in California. Police shot and killed him and his wife in a shootout shortly after the San Bernardino massacre Wednesday.
Malik, though, hadn't been in the United States for long.
She grew up in central Pakistan. On Monday, police raided the home owned by her father in Multan, a city about 220 miles (350 kilometers) southwest of Lahore. Malik had lived there until spring 2014, right around the time she got married and moved to the United States on a fiancee visa.
After finding the residence padlocked and chained shut, authorities got inside and seized religious instruction books, audio CDs with Quran readings and various documents, according to Pakistani intelligence sources.
Malik took but never completed a Quranic course through the Al-Huda International Welfare Foundation. In a statement, that religious study center said that she told her instructor in May 2014 that she wouldn't be able to finish because she was about to get married.
And Abdul Aziz, the main cleric of the Red Mosque in the Pakistani capital of Islamabad, "denied any link or connection" to Malik and denied that he'd had pictures taken with her.
Father says Farook backed ISIS; lawyer 'doubtful'
"(Farook's) family was completely surprised and devastated," David Chesley, a family lawyer, said Monday about the attack. "… No one had any knowledge. If anybody would have, they definitely would have done something to stop it."
Farook's mother, who shared a townhouse in Redlands, California, with the couple and their 6-month-old baby, lived in an isolated part of the house, Chesley said.
Over the weekend, Farook's father told an Italian newspaper that his son supported ISIS' ideology of establishing an Islamic caliphate.
"He said he shared the ideology of (ISIS leader Abu Bakr) al-Baghdadi to create an Islamic state, and he was fixated on Israel," the elder Farook told La Stampa newspaper.
Inside the $2 billion ISIS war machine
Chesley told CNN that the father was on medications and didn't recall making those comments to the Italian newspaper.
In the newspaper interview, the father, also named Syed Farook, recalled the first time he saw his son with a gun.
"I became angry. In 45 years in the United States, I yelled, 'I have never had a weapon.' The son shrugged his shoulders and replied, 'Your loss,' " the father said.
"I cannot forgive myself. Maybe if I had been at home, I would have found out and stopped him," he told the newspaper.
Chesley, the Farook family attorney, described the newspaper report as "doubtful at best."
Official: 'They covered their tracks'
No one is denying that Farook and his wife opened fire at a holiday luncheon for his co-workers at the Inland Regional Center on Wednesday. One question is who influenced who, including whether Malik may have pushed her husband to think and act the way he did.
The couple did practice shooting together at gun ranges in the Los Angeles area, according to Bowdich. In fact, they had target practice at least once within days of the massacre that left 14 dead, the FBI official said.
Farook looked into contacting terrorist groups overseas, such as al Qaeda affiliate al Nusra Front and Al-Shabaab, a senior law enforcement official said.
The source did not specify when or how those attempts were made. At the very least, it appears that ISIS and possibly other groups inspired the couple, according to the official.
Days after Malik's Facebook pledge to its leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, ISIS hailed her and her husband as "supporters" of the terror group.
But this acknowledgment doesn't mean that the pair were members or that someone from the group ordered the massacre, said Rick Francona, a CNN military analyst and former intelligence officer. ISIS has urged sympathizers to carry out attacks on their own, though it typically refers to those who take orders directly from its leaders as "knights" or "soldiers" rather than supporters.
Officials caution there is still a lot to learn and much electronic media to review. Part of what is slowing the process is that the couple's attempts to destroy their electronics made it challenging for investigators to use the material.
"They covered their tracks pretty well," the official said.

Low scrub predominates, the lowlands bloom with extensive wildflowers in spring. Flora in this area includes the yellow and black kangaroo paws, two types of grass trees, banksias, smokebush, the rare Badgingarra mallee, the mottlecah (with the largest flower of all the eucalypts) and verticordia. Now, the biggest threat to the plants is the spread of dieback, a soil borne fungus.
The white sands provide little nutrition for plants. Many plants use bacteria and fungi associated with their root systems to extract nutrients from the impoverished sand or obtain nitrogen from the air.
Emus, bustards, wedge-tailed eagles, reptiles and the western grey kangaroo, are some of the fauna that inhabit this area.
We recognise and acknowledge Aboriginal people as the traditional custodians of Badgingarra National Park.

To Secure Kashmir, India Must Uphold Rule Of Law
By Siddharth Mohan on November 4, 2021
The recent action against Kashmiri students for celebrating Pakistan's victory in a cricket match is yet another example of gross misuse of the law against Kashmiris. If the government intends to bring back a semblance of normalcy to the valley, it must shed draconian laws and try to win the hearts of the people.
Can India Engage With Taliban and Protect Its Interests?
By Apoorva Iyer on November 2, 2021
India has a long-standing policy of non-interference in the internal affairs of Afghanistan. However, America's withdrawal and the Taliban's takeover have brought significant challenges for India. India now needs to make some tough decisions to protect its economic and security interests in the country.
Single Largest Party Must Consider Opinions of Other Parties: Former SC Judge

Kashmir Complicates Britain's Elections
By Shairee Malhotra on December 12, 2019
By endorsing a Republican candidate over the Democrats and "campaigning" for the Tories over Labour, India has riskily waded into partisanship in both countries. Could the BJP's wholehearted backing of the Tories and Democrats risk damaging India's long-term interests?
The Need to Reconnect with Kashmiris
By Naseer Bhatt on March 23, 2019
There is an urgent need to repair the disenchantment of Kashmiris towards local electoral politics and stem the alarming rise in local radicalisation. The Army can provide the government with law and order solutions under extreme circumstances, but the political establishment must then follow through. That has never happened as yet.

GuidesEnterprise Unix Roundup: Special LinuxWorld Expo Edition
Enterprise Unix Roundup: Special LinuxWorld Expo Edition
By Michael Hall
If you live on the West Coast and noticed a glow on the horizon from the direction of San Francisco this past week, it was probably because LinuxWorld Expo (LWE) was in town. Long considered the tent revival cousin of the more staid winter East Coast show, LWE West is where the old community spirit that characterized Linux in earlier times is more likely to be found, and it's where Linux vendors are a lot more likely to rally the troops.
Red Hat Hits Back, SCO Cries "Conspiracy!"
With all of the activity going on at LinuxWorld Expo, we decided to publish a bonus edition of Enterprise Unix Roundup. In a nutshell: SCO suits snowball; Novell announces Ximian purchase; and Sun makes 'Mad Hatter' details public. We also offer a quick fix for the postfix remote denial of service vulnerability that works on other breaches as well.
Red Hat announced a lawsuit aimed at SCO for making what the North Carolina company calls "unfair, unsubstantiated, and untrue public statements." German Linux distributor SuSE said it supports its rival in the suit. Red Hat's goal is to force SCO to admit that Red Hat isn't infringing on any of its intellectual property. For its part, SCO said it's weighing its options, which might include a countersuit for copyright infringement and "conspiracy."
Perhaps more substantial than the suit, which essentially aims to force SCO to do exactly what it's doing with IBM in court right now, is Red Hat's "Open Source Now" fund, a $1 million war chest to be used to defend free software developers from legal accusations of infringement. Consider the troops rallied.
SCO also got around to formally announcing the price of its Linux license, touched on here last week, which the company says will indemnify corporate Linux users against claims of IP infringement: $699 per system until October, when the company will really put the screws on and charge double that. OEMs are also supposed to cough up $32 apiece for any embedded Linux systems (like the TiVO or Sharp Zaurus) they have on hand.
One other note in the SCO saga: IBM, perhaps provoked by some muttering about its refusal to indemnify its AIX customers against the SCO suit, launched a countersuit. It is charging that SCO infringed on IBM patents and is suing for something SCO did as Caldera just a few years ago when it sold a Linux distribution and disrupted IBM's AIX business.
World Wrestling Entertainment headquarters are down the street from our office. We'll go talk to them about renting a steel cage.
Sun's Hat of a Different Color
Last week we noted Sun's plans to resurrect "Mad Hatter," a corporate desktop built around its own Linux. The reasonable question that provokes is "why bother when there are all sorts of good, free-for-the-taking flavors of Linux (e.g., Red Hat) that already do all the work of making a Linux distribution work?" Well, that's exactly what Sun's doing: using a pre-existing distribution and building what one of our sources called "a common platform for developers."
That raises another question: "What's wrong with the Linux Standards Base (LSB)," which is the Linux developer community's own attempt to create exactly that, a standard base from which developers can work. The unspecified distribution is reportedly Red Hat, but we'll have to wait until Mad Hatter hits the streets to see what a quick toss of its entrails tells us.
If it is indeed Red Hat, the move to put a Sun spin on the product makes sense: A colleague at the show noted Red Hat is moving away from heavily emphasizing its retail/consumer product, essentially turning it into a free-floating release candidate and proving ground for its enterprise edition. That sort of loose "release early, release often" spontaneity so many grassroots Linux supporters enjoy isn't going to go over well with Sun, hence the tweaks.
Novell Strengthens Its Ties to Linux
Novell, best known for NetWare, announced the acquisition of Ximian, a Linux company known for both its polished desktop software and Unix Outlook replacement Evolution. Analysts say the buy makes for a good fit.
Although the purchase of a Linux desktop company might seem out of character for a server software company, it makes more sense when viewed in the light of next year's planned release of GroupWise for Linux with its promised Java-based client. Ximian's "Connector" product allows Linux desktop users to interface with Microsoft Exchange servers. Similar functionality with GroupWise is in the offing for Evolution. We're fairly certain the Java client will not amount to much, nor will it need to with Evolution on the scene.
wu-ftpd, a popular FTP daemon, was found to have a buffer overflow bug. This one is serious to the extent it opens the possibility of a remote root compromise. Mandrake, Red Hat, Conectiva, and SuSE have all released patches.
postfix, another popular package used as a fast, secure, easily configured sendmail replacement, has been found to have a remote denial of service vulnerability. Several vendors have patched their releases, but this bug provides an interesting note in software releases: postfix lead developer Wietse Venema reports the bug was patched nine months ago, but that the version with the exploit is still in heavy circulation among distributors due to their own release schedules.
Tips of the Trade
This week's postfix snafu reminded us of a favorite Linux utility, to which we'll give a nod for this special Linux World edition: checkinstall.
Distributors aren't always the fastest at getting the latest and greatest out the door, it's not always easy to get ready-made binary packages. Checkinstall handles that problem by building a binary package out of a compiled source tree. Where you normally do the ./configure && make && make install routine to build a package, checkinstall intercepts the make install part and builds a package ready for installation in Red Hat, Debian, Slackware, or RPM-based distributions. That way, when your vendor finally does catch up, you can remove the package with a single command (instead of hunting its components down by hand) and install the new binary package without a hassle. Good stuff.


Scunthorpe United would like to thank British Steel for their sponsorship of the club following the conclusion of their sponsorship agreement at the end of the 2017/18 season.
British Steel began their association as the Iron's front of shirt sponsors in the 2016/17 season, shortly after the new business was launched.
The re-birth of British Steel has brought positivity and excitement to the town and the club are pleased to have had the company on the front of our first team shirts during the infancy of this important phase.
During the two season spell that British Steel have been the main club partners of Scunthorpe United, the team successfully negotiated their way to the end of season play-offs on both occasions.
As the Iron continue their preparations for the 2018/19 season, we will announce our new front of shirt sponsors shortly. The club will also be revealing news about our back of shirt sponsors and our short sponsors for the forthcoming season in due course.
"There will be a new front of shirt sponsor for 2018/19, which will be another company who play a significant role within the town. This underlines our commitment to working closely with businesses within the local community. We will be announcing this exciting sponsorship deal very shortly," he concluded.

Joe Biden on the Promise His Son Asked Him to Make Just a Few Months before His Death
January 11, 2020 | by Oyin Balogun
Losing a loved one can be excruciatingly painful, and Joe Biden has survived a few tragedies; losing family members is not oblivious to this fact.
However, the father and former American vice president opened up on the details of a father-son time he shared with his youngest son,( who happens to be deceased) a few weeks before he kicked the bucket. During a tv appearance on Stephen Colbert's show, Biden was asked a series of questions about his personal life.
Joe didn't mince words in describing the situations and challenges he's had to combat as a father of two deceased children, and a wife, namely, Neilia Hunter, Naomi and Beau and one surviving son, Hunter Biden.

JOE BIDEN'S PROMISE TO HIS SON, BEAU BEFORE HIS DEATH
Beau Biden shared a very close-knit relationship with his dad, and before his untimely death, which was caused cancer, he had always been involved and interested in his dad's affairs.
In 2016, Joe explained during the show with Stephen Colbert that he made his son a promise before his demise. The former Vice-President stated that his said to him,
"'Dad I know how much you love me, so you have to promise me something. Promise me you're going to be alright because no matter what happens dad, I'm going to be alright.'"
Biden, who acknowledged his son's heartwarming request, continued by stating that Beau was a child with an amazing sense of empathy.
FATHER AND SON RELATIONSHIP INSPIRED BY TRAGEDIES
Beau had a job as an attorney general of one of the American states and planned on becoming a governor a few months before his death. His position caused him to be politically inclined, and it's no surprise he'd advise his father on political matters, as they attended some state functions together, during Joe Biden's time as Senator.
However, their relationship didn't begin after Beau got conferred with the titles of attorney general for Delaware. Both father and son started bonding after the family witnessed a tragic incidence.
Young Joe Biden was devastated after learning about the news of his wife, Neilia Hunter, and toddler daughter, Naomi's fatal car crash, leaving his two sons, Beau and Hunter injured.

HOW WELL IS JOE FARING AFTER HIS RECENT TRAGEDY
Losing two members of his first family was a catastrophe for Joe Biden. However, solace laid in his connection to his older son. After Beau Biden's tragic exit in 2015, the politician's personal and political life witnessed a downturn.
In describing the details of a ceremonial function, he explained the effect a war veteran had on him after he blurted out Beau's name. He said:
"It was going great. All of a sudden, a guy in the back yells 'Major Beau Biden. Bronze Star, sir. Served with him in Iraq.' And all of a sudden, I lost it. How could you... I shouldn't be saying this, but you can't do that."
Some Americans celebrate #NationalCatDay, some celebrate #NationalDogDay — President Trump celebrates neither. It says a lot. It's time we put a pet back in the White House. Chip in if you agree [Link in bio]
A post shared by Joe Biden (@joebiden) on Oct 29, 2019 at 4:59pm PDT
Although Joe Biden's lightened his grief by mentioning his son in a series of campaign speeches, he doesn't deny his love for Beau and his broken heart over his loss.
He took it a step further by expressing gratitude to the medical professionals in charge of his son's well being. It didn't end there, as Joe Biden's son's death piqued the ex-vice president's concern on health matters.

Joe Biden has experienced some unpalatable events with his first family, that didn't stop him from giving love another chance, as he is married to educator, Jill Biden.
The couple shares a daughter Ashley Biden and as busy as the family may seem, with Joe contesting as America's 2020 president, they all find time to hangout. The family gathering doesn't leave out Beau's younger brother, Hunter Biden, and Beau's widow and kids.
We have so much to be thankful for — today and every day. Happy Thanksgiving to those serving overseas who can't be home with family, and to Americans in every corner of the country. We hope your day is filled with family and friends, laughter, and gratitude.

Joe Biden's daughter, Ashley Biden is a former executive director of the Delaware Center for Justice. The 38-year-old also runs a charitable clothing line known as "Livelihood," which she recently focused her attention on.
Hunter is also an established lawyer but seems to be the black sheep of the family with the numerous controversies pinned to his job or his personal life, involving drug abuse and fraud.
He married Hallie Biden, his older brother's wife after he separated from his wife, Kathleen. Presently, he is married to an African native, Melissa Cohen.

We didn't finish the app before Christmas but when Deezer offered to sponsor us for the Music Hack Day in Cannes, France, we jumped on the opportunity to work on the app!
Our flight got delayed and we ended up exhausted and late at the hackathon. Still, we managed to hide a few features to focus on the core: beautiful artist images. We'll be adding them back in time.
What we noticed though is that having it as an app is too unstable. If you leave the app by searching for a song, it breaks. We might need to make it as a separate page, like Mentor.fm. The problem though is that it won't be able to support Spotify.
We did a "welcome page" though, but it needs more work.
Deezer have been great so far and we're eternally grateful. We're currently working on PartySaver outside of hackathons.
