Uncoloured lithograph of a panorama of Calcutta drawn after nature by Frederick Fiebig and prepared, printed and published by T. Black of the Asiatic Lithographic Press in Calcutta in 1847. The first section shows Alipore, Kidderpore and Garden Reach and Fort William seen on the right. The Fort was rebuilt to the south of Calcutta in 1757. Designed by John Brohier, the structure is polygonal in form and has extensive defences including bastions, earthworks and a moat. Inside the fort, we can see the garrison church of St Peter that dates from 1826. The area surrounding the fort, known as the Maidan, was cleared to provide an unrestricted line of fire.


It has been an interesting third week in the month of November when it comes to criminal aliens here in the State of Oregon.
Monday, November 16, 2015 the Clackamas County Inter-agency Task Force and the Milwaukie Police Department after an investigation arrested Rafael Rivera-Rodriguez, age 35, a resident of Portland. Law enforcement seized three ounces of Heroin.
Rivera-Rodriguez was arraigned in Clackamas County Circuit on charges of Delivery of a Controlled Substance Heroin 1000 feet of a School, Procession of a Controlled Substance Heroin and Probation Violation for Delivery of a Controlled Substance Heroin.
Rafael Rivera-Rodriguez (SID: 16863907) is currently incarcerated at the Clackamas County Jail.
Some background history on Rivera-Rodriguez, which will probably not surprise your radio listeners, he has prior convictions of Procession and Delivery of Heroin in Multnomah County.
Beyond his past state drug convictions, Rafael Rivera-Rodriguez has been convicted by federal immigration officials of illegally entering the country. He was recently released from a federal prison after serving time for illegal re-entry into the country.
Was Rafael Rivera-Rodriguez simplify released from a federal immigration detention facility after 180 days because he couldn't get a timely appearance in a federal immigration court, an appearance that would once again order his removal from the country?

Q: Example $E[X|Y] = E[X]$ for $X, Y$ dependent So I need a counter  example to show that $E[X|Y] = E[X]$ does not necessarily imply independence. My thought:
If $X~\sim\mathcal U(-1,1)$ and $Y=-X$, then $E[X|Y] = \int_\Omega X(\omega)P^{X|Y}(d\omega)$, but $P^{X|Y}:= \frac{P(X\cap Y)}{P(Y)}$ and, as $X$ and $Y$ never coexist, $P(X\cap Y)=0$, giving the desired result $E[X|Y] = E[X]=0$.
Is this correct? I saw an example elsewhere (after I formulated this one) that uses $Y=X^2$. But if both these work, wouldn't this then be true for any $Y=f(X)$ that is disjoint from $X$?

A: Consider the following contingency table

As you can verify
$$\mathbb{E}[X]=0$$
and so is
$$\mathbb{E}[X|Y]=0$$
being
$$\mathbb{E}[X|Y=0]=0\times1$$
$$\mathbb{E}[X|Y=1]=-1\times 0.5+1\times0.5$$
But clearly $X,Y$ are not independent (there are null cells in the contingency table)
In this situation, $X,Y$ are Regressive independent because the regression function $E(X|Y)$ is constant (and obviously equal to $E(X)$). This, as shown in the counterexample, does not imply that $X\perp\!\!\!\perp Y$

A: Your example does not work. $E[X|-X]$ is $X$ itself since $X$ is already meaurable w.r.t. $\sigma (-X)\equiv \sigma (X)$.

A: Take $Y$ to be some positive random variable, $U$ a uniform random variable on $[0,1]$ and $Z$ a Rademacher random variable with parameter $\frac{1}{2}$. Assume that those three random variables are independent. It is known and easy to show that $$-\frac{\log(1-U)}{\lambda}$$ for some positive real number $\lambda$ is an exponential random variable with parameter $\lambda$.
Now, set $$X=Z\frac{\log(1-U)}{Y}$$. Thus,
$$\mathbb{E}\left[X\mid Y\right]=\mathbb{E}\left[Z\frac{\log(1-U)}{Y}\mid Y\right]=\frac{1}{Y}\mathbb{E}\left[Z\log(1-U)\mid Y\right].$$
But as $Z$ and $U$ are independent of $Y$, we have
$$\mathbb{E}\left[Z\log(1-U)\mid Y\right]=\mathbb{E}\left[Z\log(1-U)\right]=0.$$ In addition, $\mathbb{E}[X]=\mathbb{E}\left\{\mathbb{E}\left[X\mid Y\right]\right\}=0$.
Of course $X$ and $Y$ are obviously dependent.
My construction might seem a bit elaborate but I wanted it explicit. However, the idea is very simple. Consider a random variable $X$ whose distribution depends of some parameters, say $a$ and $b$. And assume that the expectation of $X$ does not depends on $a$. So, if the parameter $a$ is in fact random, so the conditional expectation of $X$ knowing $a$ does not depend on $a$.
In the exemple above, I choose $X$ to be a Laplace distribution (conditionnaly on $Y$) with random variance (which depends of $Y$) but the expectation of such distitribution does not depend on the variance.

A: I don't think your example works... Since if you know the value of $Y$ it is clear which value $X$ will have.
On the other hand, the squared example works because there are two different possible values, one opposed to the other, with the same probability.
Edit
In either case, be careful because these random vectors $(X,Y)$ are not "continuous" (the are no the usual integral of a function)
You can contruct an example simpler than the one presented by @hamms.
Consider $Y\sim U([0,1])$ a uniform variable. Then you can consider
$X|Y=y_0 \sim U([-y_0,y_0])$. Obviously $E[X|Y] = 0$ (as a function of $y_0$).
The joint ditribution is null everywhere except in the triangle bounded by the lines $y = 0$, $x = y$ and $x=-y$, where it is
f_{XY}(x,y) = \frac1{2y}. So just compute the marginal density integrating accordingly
$$
f_X(x) = \int f_{XY}(x,y)\,\mathrm{d}y = \int_{|x|}^1 \frac1{2y}\,\mathrm{d}y = -\frac12 \ln |x|
$$
Now compute the expectation for $X$. By symmetry it is $0$. Be can be more precise (and boring!):
$$
\begin{align*}
E[X] &= \int_{-1}^1 x f_X(x) \,\mathrm{d}x =
\int_0^1 x f_X(x) \,\mathrm{d}x + \int_{-1}^0 x f_X(x) \,\mathrm{d}x \\
&= \int_0^1 x f_X(x) \,\mathrm{d}x - \int_{-1}^0 |x| f_X(x) \,\mathrm{d}x =
\int_0^1 x f_X(x) \,\mathrm{d}x - \int_0^1 x f_X(x) \,\mathrm{d}x \\
&=0,
\end{align*}
$$
since $f_X(x) = f_X(-x)$.
for $x\in[-1,1]$.

Михаил Иванович Барсуков (1890—1974) — советский учёный и организатор здравоохранения, доктор медицинских наук (1951), профессор (1952), полковник медицинской службы, историк медицины.

Автор более 200 научных публикаций, редактор сборников научных работ, в том числе материалов I-го съезда и конференций историков медицины СССР.

Биография
Родился  года в Москве.

В 1914 году окончил медицинский факультет Императорского Московского университета со степенью лекаря. В составе Русской императорской армии участвовал в Первой мировой войне. В 1917 году стал председателем медико-санитарного отдела Военно-революционного комитета в Петрограде, до 1918 года был председателем коллегии Главного военно-санитарного управления и заместителем председателя Совета врачебных коллегий.

Принимал участие в Гражданской войне в России: в 1918—1920 годах являлся начальником военно-санитарной службы в Восточном, Южном, Юго-Западном и Западном военных округах. В 1920—1921 годах — председатель Всеукраинской комиссии по охране народного здоровья; в 1921—1922 годах — член Центрального комитета союза «Медсантруд» (профсоюз медицинских работников); в 1923—1924 годах — заведующий Дальневосточным отделом здравоохранения. Положил начало курортному строительству в этом регионе, в 1924 году был участником IV Всесоюзного съезда по курортному делу.

В 1924—1930 годах М. И. Барсуков работал Народным комиссаром здравоохранения Белорусской ССР, одновременно являлся заведующим кафедрой социальной гигиены медицинского факультета Белорусского государственного университета. В 1924—1930 годах — директор Института организации здравоохранения и социальной гигиены, одновременно в 1924—1930 годах — редактор журнала «Белорусская медицинская мысль» («Беларуская мэдычная думка»). В 1930—1939 годах Барсуков работал в Москве руководителем сектора здравоохранения Госплана СССР.

В годы Великой Отечественной войны был начальником эвакопунктов Калининского и 1-го Прибалтийского фронтов. В конце войны, в 1944 году, он был откомандирован в распоряжение Военного медицинского музея и приложил немало сил для превращения его в крупный научный центр советской военной медицины. С 1945 года возглавлял отдел истории советского здравоохранения во Всесоюзном научно-исследовательском институте социальной гигиены и организации здравоохранения, где в 1946 году он защитил кандидатскую, а в 1950 году — докторскую диссертацию на тему «Великая Октябрьская социалистическая революция и организация советского здравоохранения».

Во время работы в институте М. И. Барсуков вместе с группой советских ученых выступил с инициативой организовать Всесоюзное научное общество историков медицины (ВНОИМ). 1 ноября 1946 года состоялось учредительное собрание общества и утвержден его устав, разработанный Барсуковым. С 1955 по 1973 год Михаил Иванович являлся председателем ВНОИМ, а также членом Международного общества историков.

Наряду с руководством ВНОИМ, выполнял и другую общественную работу: был депутатом Моссовета, членом исполкома Союза Обществ Красного Креста и Красного Полумесяца, членом ЦК профсоюза медицинских работников, членом президиума Совета научных медицинских обществ Минздрава СССР.

Умер 4 апреля 1974 года в Москве; похоронен на Введенском кладбище (уч. 29).

Заслуги
 Награждён двумя орденами Ленина, орденами: Трудового Красного Знамени, «Знак Почета», Красной Звезды и  Отечественной войны I-й степени, а также медалями, среди которых медаль «За победу над Германией в Великой Отечественной войне 1941—1945 гг.».

Lyrics, Logic, and Lullabies' new album is a poetic beauty
(Published: August 09, 2017)
Having many talents can be a very stressful thing, but the featured artist in this review speaks the very opposite. Ed Verner is a man of many talents, and he is proud of what he does, which is juggling tasks relating to his kind of music. The baby boomer is the main man behind the band Lyrics, Logic, and Lullabies.
The first song on their new album Drift of Snow is titled "Hourglass." This song is about life and the passing of time. It has a calming tone that matches Verner's soothing voice, resulting in a music that is emotional and heartwarming. Like when the hourglass uses up all the sand, listeners will want to flip it upside down just to hear it again.
"Give to Me Tonight" is a moving tune of love and commitment. Through its emotional melody, it sets up a vibe of intimacy and romance. It can be compared to a hopeless romantic serenading his lover. This song commands attention.
As much as I would like to focus on a third track, I will dedicate this part for the remaining tracks of the record. Collectively, all of the songs are like different chapters of beautiful memories. Each can be compared to work of literature overflowing with feelings. Anyone would not find it hard to be in love with such lovely creations. Drift of Snow is like poetry in motion.
To cap it off, Ed Verner does a superb job of keeping things fresh on his band's LP. He is not afraid in producing a unique kind of music through traditional singer/songwriter folk. The album has country-like styles that make each tune fresh and mesmerizing. It also has a certain flexibility that makes the album fit for the new generation and old timers alike.

The base: All of our soaps are handmade using organic raw goat milk from our small herd of dairy goats. We also add organic olive oil, coconut oil, and shea butter as the base. These ingredients produce a rich lather and leave your skin feeling balanced, never dry. We do not use palm oil (a hardening agent) because it is not harvested sustainably.
"SHEA"VE BAR: This bar is perfect for, you guessed it, shaving. It produces a rich, luxurious lather. Bentonite clay is added to provide extra "slip" and easy razor gliding. It's also fantastic for unclogging pores, drawing toxins from the skin, and control the overproduction of sebum. And we formulate it with organic shea butter that has been infused with calendula, lavender, and chamomile. As a result, it smells delightful and is incredibly moisturizing and soothing to freshly shaved skin. It's a favorite of both men and women. Because it is so gentle and moisturizing, I also use it as a facewash, and it's nice and soothing for washing babies.
INGREDIENTS: Saponified and unsaponified organic coconut oil, organic shea butter, organic olive oil, organic calendula, chamomile, and lavender flowers, organic raw goat milk (from our own dairy herd), organic lavender essential oil, bentonite clay, sodium lactate (liquid salt).


WHO said bistros must be French? SEA (short for Southeast Asia) calls itself a Thai bistro, and there are neither steak nor frites in sight. What you will see in the small, subterranean restaurant is a cosmopolitan crowd, black-clad waiters and attractive Asian food.
Prol-friendly prices top out at $13. "It's worth it for the presentation alone," notes my culinary comrade as plates adorned with ethereal stacks of shredded veggies and squiggles of brightly colored dips emerge from the East Village kitchen.
Through a door in the rear, you can peek at the cooks in action from simple wood banquettes and metal-topped tables in the red-lit dining room. Apparently, the chef is keeping his eye on us, too. Later, he bestows a plate of vegetable dumplings upon the gourmite in our group, Molly, a pint-sized palate of almost 3.
The taste-testing tot calls the menu "the map." Navigating through it, past dishes named Drunk Man Noodle and Rama the King, we land on appetizers of Thai dumplings ($5), soft crepes wrapped into jiggly rectangles around a filling of chicken, lettuce and peanuts. Next to them, crusty-coated calamari ($5) with a sweet, heat-tinged sauce seem extra crunchy, but also extra chewy.
Ingredients are high-quality, and there's an effort to be innovative that's interesting, if not necessarily exciting. And the room, with it's industrial decor, seems cold despite low lights and candles.
Nonetheless, Geyser shrimp ($13) makes a dramatic entrance in a large clay pot. Uncovered, it frees a ginger and sesame-scented cloud from rich broth brimming with zucchini, baby corn, vermicelli noodles and large shrimp – lots of them. Likewise cashew chicken ($8) is loaded with roasted whole nuts, as well as large slices of white meat, onion and shredded carrot in a lip-stinging tamarind sauce.
A respectable pad Thai ($8) pairs springy rice noodles with chicken, shrimp and pungent scallions. The one dish that left us puzzled was an appetizer spring roll ($3), crackling crisp but with no sign of the promised basil.
Desserts are a real buy, especially a martini glass of ice cream topped with crunchy-coated banana pieces and honey ($3). Thai-style ice cream mixed with beans atop sticky rice ($3) got an endorsement from Mollie's mom, a nutritionist who couldn't help but comment on the added benefit of fiber in dessert.
As the night wears on, the music grows louder and the place gets clubbier. But whenever you go, the service couldn't be nicer. It's definitely SEA worthy.


I'm going to go out on a limb here and argue that I don't think there is such a thing as a "bad" food. Even when watching your food intake, it is OK to occasionally make food choices that are less than nutritious. I also think it is OK to eat things that are not necessarily in vogue right now, so long as you do so in moderation and include those foods in what is otherwise a well-rounded and healthy diet.
On Saturday, my friend Paula and I spent the day with some new friends and our conversations ranged from online dating to dieting. One of our new friends, D., has lost 90+ pounds in 16 months! No weight-loss surgery or liquid dieting. She is doing it the old fashioned way – eating right and exercise! D. doesn't deprive herself of the occasional adult beverage or meal out. She (like most of us) enjoys the social aspects of eating and drinking with friends. When discussing our various eating strategies, Paula mentioned how much she loves bananas and how she has been told that they are a "bad" food. Paula's personal trainer took an approach that I just love! He didn't tell her that she needed to give up bananas, he suggested moderation and eating it with a small amount of peanut butter to add protein and make it a more robust and filling snack. I LOVE these ideas! You can't expect to live your life (ok – happily live your life) in a state of deprivation for the next 20, 30 or 50 years. Moderation is the key to a happy and healthy life/weight.
On to the news everyone has been waiting for!! How did we do our first week? Well, as a group we lost 25.4 lbs!!! I know you all join me in heartily congratulating Jim (top male contestant) and Jim's Cupcake (top female contestant) for being the top winners for week 1! I am only waiting on a couple more weigh-ins to complete week 2. Once I get back in town, I'll update the blog with our week 2 results!
Yeah for all of us for doing this!!
The comments I've heard about bananas (from a weight loss perspective) are that they are a high sugar fruit and should be avoided. Some diet plans specifically exclude bananas. Personally, I subscribe to the belief that just about anything is ok in moderation and bananas, in particular, have the added benefit of being a potassium rich food that is also high in fiber. So, I eat bananas without any concerns about it impacting my diet. I do have pesticide concerns, especially when it comes to certain fruits and veggies (like bananas and celery) so I always try to buy organic.


Safety and efficiency are two benefits of advanced technology in construction.
The construction industry is fairly insulated from the disruptive effects of automation. CB Insights, a market research firm that focuses on technology startups, found that construction workers are among the least likely to be replaced by robotics over the next five to 10 years.
However, there are still about 1.2 million construction jobs at risk, according to the firm.
That doesn't have to be a bad thing. The industry is already struggling to find skilled workers, and automation can help builders safely complete repetitive, dangerous or difficult tasks.
"If you want to transform the construction industry, … you start with safety," according to David Bruemmer, CEO and founder of Adaptive Motion Group, and former chief technology officer for 5D Robotics.
Bruemmer told Colorado Builder that by focusing on safety, automation "doesn't force construction companies to do things necessarily differently" from how they already operate. Too-rapid change is one of the biggest pitfalls for technology firms trying to serve the construction industry.
"Robotics [companies] just don't understand how devastating it is to make sudden, sweeping changes in processes," he said.
Bruemmer said that construction equipment outfitted with safety kits similar to the collision-prevention systems on high-end cars are the "low-hanging fruit" for construction tech companies. Sensors can detect a person or object in the path of equipment and either alert the operator or, in the case of fully autonomous equipment, come to a stop.
The difficulty is that "old-school vehicles weren't designed to be robots," Bruemmer said. Companies that find a way to overcome that will be most successful in serving builders.
One contender is Built Robotics. CB Insights identified Built as one of its tech startup gamechangers for 2018. The San Francisco-based firm retrofit a track loader with software and sensors to create an autonomous vehicle. The firm announced in October 2017 that it had raised $15 million in Series A funding, and had completed its first commercial project.
In addition to Built, CB Insights highlighted Victor, New York-based Construction Robotics and Russian firm Apis Cor. Instead of replacing laborers, Construction Robotics aims to make them more productive with its brick-laying robot. The firm's SAM100 — "semi-automated mason" — robot can lay between four and seven times as many bricks as a human, according to the company.
"This offers contractors and developers approximately a 50% reduction in total costs," CB Insights analysts noted on a webinar.
Apis Cor is a 3D printing company that can build a 400-square-foot home in less than 24 hours, and for less than $10,000. The printer requires two people to operate it, and can be set up in 30 minutes.

The Cause of Eczema: What You Weren't Told
Cork MJ. The importance of skin barrier function. Journal of Dermatological Treatment (1997) 8;S7-S13 [email protected]
Tags: The Cause of Eczema, eczema, causes
What Causes Eczema?
No one really knows what causes eczema. However, we do know that people with eczema have skin that is different.
Normal skin pretty much takes care of itself, never really causing us too much trouble. It's the largest organ of your body, flexible, relatively waterproof, keeps you warm or cool by regulating body temperature, and protects you from tiny organisms and infections.
Skin affected by eczema is often dry and cracked, the protective outer layer of skin damaged. As a result, skin affected by eczema loses a lot of water, which interferes with the natural healing process.
The role of the skin barrier with regard to the Cause of Eczema
The skin barrier appears to play a significant role in how effectively the skin functions, and why certain people get eczema while others do not. In healthy skin with a resilient skin barrier, allergens cannot penetrate deeper into the skin. Instead, bacteria and irritants are prevented from entering; the barrier also helps to protect proper levels of hydration in the skin. Research into the skin barrier has shown that there is a genetic predisposition to a weakened, defective skin barrier. This allows allergens to penetrate the deeper layers of the skin.
In addition, the defective skin barrier allows for increased interaction with environmental factors such as soap and detergent, house dust mites, hard water, infection and some topical medications and cosmetic products. This can result in a worsening of eczema symptoms, and a further breakdown of the skin barrier.
Eczema and the immune system
Our immune system is very complex, and it works very hard to protect us. Once the white blood cells of our immune system are set into action, they release substances that cause inflammation. This inflammation causes redness to appear, as well as releasing other substances that can cause itching. Some researchers believe that people who have eczema also have a reduced threshold for the itch sensation. So, once your skin gets itchy, it's very hard to resist the urge to scratch.
Scratching can damage your skin, causing more inflammatory substances to be produced that, in turn, cause more white blood cells to respond to this reaction. This increases the redness and itching, which makes it harder to resist scratching.
This process is known as the itch-scratch-rash cycle and it can become so severe that it causes sleeplessness, irritability, stress, thickening skin, and intense pain. Scratching can tear or scrape the skin, causing it to bleed and ooze, allowing bacteria to enter which can cause secondary infections to develop.
Generally, treatments like topical steroids and antihistamines work to relieve the symptoms of eczema once they have already appeared. Since the approval of treatments called Topical Calcineurin Inhibitors in Canada some dermatologists consider these agents to be a worthy addition to the treatment arsenal. Topical Calcineurin Inhibitors (TCIs) appear to prevent the release of the inflammatory substances that cause the red, itchy skin associated with eczema. This treatment works to calm and control the skin's reaction. In 2010 Health Canada approved one of the available TCIs for maintenance therapy. Talk with your doctor; he or she has the most up to date information about eczema treatments.
What is an eczema 'flare up'?
By nature, eczema symptoms can come and go. At times, symptoms can be more severe, or the rash and itching can completely disappear for long periods at a time. However, when symptoms suddenly reappear or become worse, it is called a 'flare up'. A number of different factors appear to trigger 'flare ups' of eczema.
'Flare ups' can happen when your skin comes in contact with irritants like soap, detergents, abrasive clothing (e.g. wool and synthetic fibres), perfume, carpet fibres, or dust. Overheating, excessive sweating, or low humidity can also trigger a 'flare up'.

10 Funny First Day Of Summer 2018 Memes You'll Relate To If You're Already Tired Of Hot Weather
By Kaitlyn Wylde

After a long winter and a very chilly spring, there was a time in the past few months that, I'm sure, many of us wondered if summer would ever arrive. But just as we started to lose hope, the temperatures pulled it together just in time for the first day of summer. And now, it actually finally feels like summer — the vibe has arrived! To celebrate the big day, which falls on Jun. 21 in 2018, I've pulled together some funny first day of summer memes — because the change of season offers some very #relatable content. The world has got a lot of mixed feelings about the warmest season.
There's so much excitement leading up to summer: school is ending, summer Fridays are beginning, the beaches are opening, the temperatures are rising, and adventures are presenting themselves. There's a very strong, summer vibe in the air.
We all have this love/hate relationship with the season which leaves a lot of room for some funny memes. We've all gone back and forth with feeling blessed to be in the best season of the year and curse to be forced to live in a fiery hell. Here are some of the funniest memes that best depict that struggle we all have with summer:
When Summer Is Happening Somewhere Outside Of Your Office
mrnelsonmemes on Twitter
There's really nothing worse than being stuck at work when everyone else is outside, enjoying the weather, swimming in the ocean and living their best life. Photoshopping yourself into a beach scene might be the closest you get to the beach until you finish your work. Oh, adulting.
Summer Break Reality
frugal_fl_mom on Twitter
You start out so bright-eyed and bushy-tailed in the beginning of your summer break. The summer is your oyster and you're going to live life to the fullest! But by the end of the summer, you're sunburnt, exhausted, and so detached from your regular programming that you don't know how to get back to it.
The Blanket Dilemma
someecards on Twitter
When it's too hot to suffocate under the blanket, but you feel so unsafe and uncomfortable without a blanket. Why hasn't someone invented a cooling blanket yet?!
Dog Beach Is Life
bustle on Twitter
Personally, my favorite thing about summer is seeing dogs being their best selves at the beach. It's like the epitome of canine happiness.
Is It Beach Time Yet?
farrahsolim on Twitter
We've been waiting for the weather to warm up for so long, we almost forgot what we were waiting for. Alas! The sweaty temperatures are here and it is most certainly beach season!
bikiniboxuk on Twitter
It's easy to get excited for warm weather when it's cold out. But once those temperatures go past that sweet spot and head into that humid hell zone, winter starts looking good again. Thank goodness for air conditioning and icy drinks.
Summer IRL
When you make all of these epic outdoor plans for the summer but then end up getting a little too comfortable inside with the air conditioning and your Netflix account.
When It's Too Hot To Live
Meme Gen
Every summer comes with a stretch of time that's filled with inhumane temperatures, aka a heatwave. People walk around like they've just arrived in hell, and being outside is just about the least desirable thing you've done since the dead of winter. At least the shared experience makes for good memes.
A Great Idea
Meme LOL
*Adds indoor pool chair gaming device to Amazon cart*
I always get so excited to go sunbathing, but after a few minutes in the sun I think my insides are drying out, and I'm sweating to death. I don't understand how people on TV always look so comfortable and relaxed while they're frying under the summer sun. Isn't their skin sizzling? Isn't it epically boring?

Carriera
Boh giocò le giovanili in una piccola squadra, i Pentincton Knights, che disputavano la British Columbia Junior Hockey League (che la squadra vinse nel 1981-1982). Non fu selezionato per l'NHL Entry Draft, e passò ai Colorado College Tigers, squadra universitaria che disputa la Western Collegiate Hockey Association, parte della prima divisione del campionato di hockey su ghiaccio della National Collegiate Athletic Association.

Qui giocò per quattro stagioni; si mise in luce tanto da guadagnarsi la convocazione per il Team Canada, per dieci incontri tra il 1986 e il 1987.

Fu dunque messo sotto contratto con i Minnesota North Stars (gli attuali Dallas Stars), squadra NHL, con cui giocò però solo otto incontri: la maggior parte della stagione la disputò nelle file dei Kalamazoo Wings, il farm team dei North Stars che disputava la IHL.

Nella stagione successiva si accasò nel campionato italiano, con il Fiemme Cavalese, che chiuse quel campionato al nono e penultimo posto, fallendo la qualificazione ai play-off.

Passò dunque al campionato olandese, coi Smoke Eaters Geleen. Vi giocò per tre anni, quando nel corso della stagione 1992-93 in un incidente di gioco si ruppe la mandibola in tre punti. Al termine della stagione, Boh si ritirò.

Stage 6-5 is the fifth stage in the Airplane in Donkey Kong for the Game Boy. The stage features many springs, cannons and even fake doors.
Mario starts off on the bottom floor. He must head right over to a spring then bounce on it to get up to the next platform to the left, then head left while avoiding a cannon's shots to get over to the second spring. Mario has to watch out for the second cannon on the third platform, then he has the choice to either jump up high enough to reach the wire and Wire Spin up to the next area or use the Spring Block to bounce his way up. Once at the top area, Mario can choose to take left side which has a cannon, two ladders and is closer to the key, or the right side which has a cannon, one ladder, and two of Pauline's lost items. Once Mario picks a side, he must climb up to the last platform then go over to the key and pick it up, then he must make his way back down while avoiding the cannons' shots and not getting tricked by the fake doors. Once back down at the bottom he must go over to the real door with the key to end the level.
Bag: Below the platform with the key and the fake door and above the cannon on the right side.
Hat: To the left of the cannon which the bag is above.
Parasol: Above the first fake door.

These colourful designs and creations are distinctive of Métis art. The designs are typically compositions of European flowers and are very different from those of other Aboriginal groups.
Through the mission schools that the Métis attended they came in contact with the Grey Nuns from Europe. The Grey Nuns carried with them the floral silk embroidery traditions from France. These techniques and patterns impressed the Métis who then incorporated them into traditional Aboriginal porcupine quill work designs. The results were the foundation of the brilliant, colourful, delicate, symmetrical floral Métis beadwork creations.
Using seed beads, silk and llama threads obtained through the fur trade, the Métis generated the artwork on their clothing that led them to be known as the "Flower Beadwork People". These creations were so impressive that, as trade goods, these articles were distributed throughout both North America and Europe.
Métis floral beadwork was typically placed against a black or dark blue cloth background, which pronounced its effects. Often the cloth was trimmed with silk ribbons. This specialized artwork can be seen on jackets, bags, leggings, gloves and vests.
In the Red River Valley, the Métis specialized in creating artistic horse gear and western wear garments, including items like coats, pouches, and moccasins. Following stereotypes, Caucasian travelers were interested in purchasing art from "real Indians", so Métis sold their works to Indians, who then resold them to Whites. This reason occasioned the "misidentification" of Métis art referred to earlier. Another distinctive site of Métis artwork was on the clothing, bags and pouches used by Métis men and women. Often the floral beadwork designs on these objects contained family-specific patterns. When this wonderful artwork was placed on the simple black cloth of construction, the results were very impressive.

Q: Emitting `[MarshalAs(...)]` dynamically using Reflection.Emit I need to create a dynamic .NET delegate with specially marshalled parameters (e.g. [MarshalAs(UnamangedType.LPWStr)]) at runtime using System.Reflection.Emit. This requires me to create a type inheriting MulticastDelegate (no problems so far), an appropriate constructor, and the Invoke-method with the specially marshalled parameters.
My C# code so far:
TypeBuilder type_builder = ...;

MethodBuilder method_builder = type_builder.DefineMethod(
    "Invoke",
    MethodAttributes.NewSlot | MethodAttributes.Virtual | MethodAttributes.HideBySig | MethodAttributes.Public,
    CallingConventions.Standard,
    typeof(int),
    new[] { typeof(string) } // only an example - this array could hold any number of parameter types
);
ParameterBuilder parameter_1 = invoke.DefineParameter(1, ParameterAttributes.HasFieldMarshal, "arg0");

parameter_1.SetCustomAttribute(new CustomAttributeBuilder(
    typeof(MarshalAsAttribute).GetConstructor(new[] { typeof(UnmanagedType) }),
    new object[] { UnmanagedType.LPWStr }
));

// ...

type_builder.CreateType();

I can generate the dynamic assembly, however the application crashes upon invocation of the 'Invoke'-method due to invalid IL instructions.
After a closer inspection using the peverify and ildasm-tools I detect, that my code above emits the following IL:
.method public hidebysig newslot virtual instance int32 Invoke (
        string arg0
    ) runtime managed
{
    .param [1]
    .custom instance void [System.Private.CoreLib]System.Runtime.InteropServices.MarshalAsAttribute::.ctor(
            class [System.Private.CoreLib]System.Runtime.InteropServices.UnmanagedType) = (
        01 00 15 00 00 00 05 00 53 08 0c 41 72 72 61 79 /* ...huge binary blob... */ 00 00 00 00
    )

    // ...
}

Whereas the following should be the correct IL code:
.method public hidebysig newslot virtual instance int32 Invoke (
        string marshal(lpwstr) arg0
    ) runtime managed
{
    // ...
}

(Namely the marshal(lpwstr)-modifier on arg0!)
My Question
How do I have to change the code above to emit the correct marshalling information?
The MSDN documentation is not helping, as it always refers to the obsolete method MethodBuilder.SetMarshal(UnmanagedMarshal). Furthermore, the documentation only tells me to "emit the MarshalAs custom attribute instead" - which is pretty unhelpful, because this is exactly what I am doing.
Note: I am using .NET Core 5
EDIT:
Creating the IL code for a delegate is not a problem. I've tested it and it works flawlessly. The only trouble I have is correctly implementing marshal(...).

A: This question is over two years old, but I think I may have found the issue here.
From what I can tell, ParameterAttributes.HasFieldMarshal is used to indicate that the default marshaling behavior will be used to marshal the parameter, which may have fields that require additional explicit marshaling, e.g. a struct which contains a field with the MarshalAs attribute:
public struct MyStruct
{
    [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPWStr)]
    public string s; // field has explicit marshaling
}

public delegate void Foo(MyStruct s); // param uses default marshaling behavior

When you create the ParameterBuilder (with DefineParameter), you are establishing that the default marshaling behavior will be used for the parameter and its fields (respective to the MarshalAs attribute set on each field). Then, the call to SetCustomAttribute is ignored because the marshaling behavior for the parameter has already been defined.
The correct behavior (as you have described it) would be to pass ParameterAttributes.None when defining the parameter for which you will later call SetCustomAttribute to set the marshaling behavior.
(Incidentally, I ended up here because I was attempting the same thing, but passing the wrong parameter index due to a misreading of the DefineParameter documentation.)


Brass knuckles, pepper spray, and a lace front wig: three essential items for any drag queen's night out according to RuPaul's Drag Race. This The Price is Right-style mini challenge from Season Two sums up the way the show presents gay male experience: with camp and with claws.
Its politics are far from perfect, as demonstrated by the recent and justified controversy over the show's use of the term 'she-mail', but it has broken into the mainstream without compromising for straight people.
There are no apologies for the ways in which the lives of drag queens differ from that of the average American male – and where those differences are the result of discrimination, Drag Race invites anger over pity.
Drag Race has always been fundamentally different from other representations of gay men on TV. It consistently shows that – surprise, surprise – not all gay men are rich and white. Will and Grace and Queer as Folk spring to mind as series about gay men which have previously entered the popular consciousness, and while ground-breaking in many ways, both focused on an extremely privileged subsection of the LGBT community.
Compare this to Drag Race, which has only had two white winners out of six seasons, and the picture is very different.
Tyra Sanchez may not have endeared herself to everyone, but in my opinion she deserved to win Season Two because she needed it most: she didn't hide the fact that before the competition, she was essentially homeless, sleeping on her drag mother's sofa, and so couldn't raise her son as she wanted to.
When was the last time you saw a poor black drag queen with a child on TV? When do you think we'll see that next?
The contestants' honesty about difficulties they have faced gives the programme a real heart amongst all the shade and back-stabbing. Sob stories are an integral part of any reality TV show. Since Drag Race works as both a parody of the genre and its most perfect expression – an achievement only possible for a programme as dripping in camp irony as RPDR – we get plenty of those. However, unlike other reality shows, these aren't just schmaltzy asides, and they aren't reserved for the most sympathetic contestants.
Phi Phi O'Hara was the villain of Season Four, and one of the most hated queens ever to set foot on the runway, but the most powerful revelation of the series belonged to her. RuPaul asked when she last saw her father – Phi Phi told us that it was on her eighteenth birthday, when he beat her and she ended up in hospital.
Season Three's military-themed main challenge, itself a response to Don't Ask Don't Tell, was taken to another level by Alexis Mateo, whose soldier boyfriend had broken up with her when posted overseas. She won the challenge wearing an outfit incorporating his dress uniform jacket.
And one of the biggest talking points of this season was Trinity K Bonet's HIV positive status. It's rare to see someone talking openly about living with HIV – that stigma still exists, and it still kills, as shown by Bianca del Rio's story of a friend who died without revealing that he was suffering from AIDS, too ashamed to even reach out to those close to him.
Drag Race takes the pattern of reality TV talent shows, complete with OTT rivalries and petty drama, and drops some actual reality right in the middle.
Drag represents a certain kind of brash fakery, a way of laughing at what society considers authentic and what it doesn't. When you see someone in full drag getting righteously angry or breaking down in tears, it shows that the make-up and the wigs aren't necessarily a way to hide some 'true self' underneath, because that idea of 'truth' has been constructed by a society that is hostile towards difference – to the very idea of a man wearing a dress.
Alongside TV 'reality', Drag Race serves some truly sickening realness.

Published 23 January 2013
Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport and The Rt Hon Hugh Robertson
This was published under the 2010 to 2015 Conservative and Liberal Democrat coalition government
Two individuals will play a crucial role in keeping up momentum from London 2012 and delivering sports legacy
The Government has begun the search for new chairs of UK Sport and Sport England, Minister for Sport Hugh Robertson announced today.
The Department for Culture, Media and Sport is looking to recruit two high calibre individuals that will replace UK Sport chair Baroness Sue Campbell and Sport England chair Richard Lewis, who will both step down from their posts in the first quarter of this year.
After 10 years as UK Sport chair Baroness Campbell has reached the maximum term in line with requirements set for public appointments. Richard Lewis has decided to stand down at the end of this current term as Sport England chair due to the time constraints placed on him in his role as Chief Executive of the All England Club.
The new chairs of UK Sport and Sport England will be tasked to help keep up the momentum for sport at the elite end and at the grassroots respectively, following the success of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
UK Sport helped Team GB and Paralympics GB land a record medal haul at the Games with Britain finishing third in the medal tables at both the Olympics and Paralympics. The elite sport funding body announced in December that it will not rest on its laurels and has already made clear that the target is for both OIympic and Paralympic teams to win more medals in Rio 2016 than in London 2012. The chair of UK Sport will help the body create a stronger, more sustainable elite sport system that will support world-class British athletes.
Sport England has played a pivotal role in increasing sports participation since London won the bid to host the Games. A record 15.5 million people are playing sport once a week, up by 1.6 million on 2005. In the last 12 months alone 750,000 more people are playing sport once a week. The chair of Sport England will help deliver the body's £1 billion youth and community sport strategy to increase participation further and encourage a culture where people have a sporting habit for life.
Robertson thanked Sue Campbell and Richard Lewis for the excellent jobs both have done.
"Sue Campbell has led the transformation of elite sport in this country. The results in both the Beijing and London Games were testament to UK Sport developing a system that helps athletes fulfil their potential and Sue deserves great credit for that.
"Richard Lewis has helped Sport England lay the foundations for an extremely strong sports legacy from London 2012. Under his leadership, participation levels in England have never been higher, the body has a clear direction of travel with its Youth and Community strategy, and its Places People Play programme is improving sports facilities up and down the country. Richard has been an excellent chair and I wish him all the best as he focuses on his key role at the All England Club.
"The new chairs at UK Sport and Sport England will be tasked to keep up this momentum and work closely together to ensure a more joined up approach to sports administration so that from the grassroots to the elite, sport is in the best possible health."
Robertson also announced that UK Sport and Sport England will be tasked to build on their work in 2012 - to develop a shared strategic approach on issues such as sports governance and talent management - but added there would not be a full merger of the two organisations. However he wants to drive further synergies between both bodies with UK Sport and Sport England co-located by 2014, sharing some back office services. This will help reduce administrative costs over this Spending Review period.
UK Sport chair Baroness Sue Campbell said:
"I welcome the government's announcement today on realising the strategic benefits of the two organisations working closer together to deliver real and lasting benefits to British sport. This outcome recognises the unique role that the two organisations fulfil in the sporting landscape at grassroots and elite level. I firmly believe that this is the best way forward and offers the most effective way to build on the incredible success of London 2012."
Sport England chair Richard Lewis said:
"It has been a huge honour to chair Sport England, an organisation which stands at the heart of sport in this country and which in recent years has made great progress in helping community sport to modernise, giving people the high quality experience they're looking for. The result is that we have more people enjoying sport every week than ever before. I have immensely enjoyed working with a Board and executive of such high quality and professionalism. It is the nature of community sport that it seldom hits the headlines but the work that is going on behind the scenes is truly outstanding.
"As a member of both Sport England and UK Sport's Boards, I can say that our organisations are collaborating more than ever before, particularly around ensuring that Sport England's considerable investment in talent development works seamlessly with UK Sport's elite funding. This co-operation will be made even smoother by plans to bring the two organisations together in one location next year. We will continue to explore all back office savings that can be made when this happens."
The Government intends to conduct a joint review of both organisations in 2014 / 15 as part of the Government's rolling programme of reviews of non-departmental public bodies.
Baroness Sue Campbell joined UK Sport in 2003 as chair with a vision to restructure and refocus the organisation to deliver medal success. She was also part of the bid team that secured the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. UK Sport's 'no compromise' approach to investment, its Mission 2012 performance tracking tool and advances in the high performance system supporting British elite athletes helped Team GB and ParalympicsGB both finish 3rd in the medal table at London 2012, winning 185 medals in total.
Richard Lewis became chair of Sport England in 2009, leading the organisation through a period of significant change and improvement in the delivery of community sport, resulting in more people than ever playing sport every week. Prior to joining Sport England Richard was Executive Chairman of the Rugby Football League, following a career as an international tennis player, coach and administrator. He was appointed Chief Executive of the All England Club, Wimbledon in 2012.

Crazy chameleons
Crazy Chameleons Slot Game Review
The Crazy Chameleons slot game is one which was devised and brought to us by the expert team at Microgaming. It is unknown exactly when this was released to the market but the simple nature of the game suggests it has been around for quite some time.
Although the machine is easy to navigate and simple to play, there is a feeling that it is just a little plain and boring with no fancy graphics or theme to the outlook. It can be played across desktop, mobile and tablet devices.
The older slots from Microgaming are very traditional in their design and their play. This is one which has five reels and just five paylines. One positive it has going for it is some of the icons on the reels have an uplifting sunny, holiday like feel to them which is a good thing.
There is a usual mix of high and low value symbols. The lower value icons are the card symbols – 10, J, Q, K and A, while the higher paying ones have a beach theme to them such as swimming trunks, waves, sunshine, seagulls, surfboards and the Crazy Chameleons. The Chameleon is very much the biggest paying one. You can get 5000x your bet should you fill a payline with this. There is a Wild symbol too. You can't get confused with this as it has Wild etched into a wave.
Microgaming have been bringing us slot games for so long that when they first started there were no needs for bonus features and add ons or anything like that. As such there is nothing apart from the base game in Crazy Chameleons, although those Wilds so at least offer something a little bit different, even if it doesn't qualify for an official feature.
The Crazy Chameleons do not rank overly well on the RTP rating either. The slot game has a rating of 96.07% which is below the average of the present day slots and against the player somewhat.
There was once a time, when the Crazy Chameleons slot game was created, that machines didn't need features to be entertaining and leaders in the market. It is fair to say those days are long behind us so that has to be taken into account when you consider playing this. However if you are new to slot games and want to get a feel for how they work in basic form, this might be one of the better ones to try.
Although it is not traditional in the classic sense of a fruit machine, it has a simplicity which will allow you to master how slot games work ahead of going on to play bigger and more lucrative machines. Nevertheless, you can win 5000x your bet on this game which is a huge incentive, and something that can override the basic and plain look and feel of the game. Try it, you might just like it.

Okay. I do a little Americanized "Hindu Yoga" and I am familiar with the gratitude thing. Good stuff, this feeling of thankfulness. Perhaps it is the Chinese influence, but my first thought is of my parents. Raising me to be open minded, to try new things. Good, that's settled. I am grateful for my parents.
My Sifu offers more clarification. Yes, I do now have a Sifu. This retreat instructor, by virtue of being my first teacher in this art, is now my "Sifu", my tutor on this path. Oddly enough, independent western soul that I am, I am completely okay with this. "Make sure you choose something simple, with no complications," he tells us.
Oh dear. Parents are complicated, aren't they. Even basically good and loving ones. Perhaps, for the purposes of this exercise, I need to be grateful for something that carries a little less baggage. That quickly eliminates my spouse, children, sister, job and friends. Let's try another approach.
I open my eyes and steal a quick peak at the gorgeous tropical flowers surrounding the pavilion where these sessions are taking place. My sense of sight. That's it, I am grateful for my vision.
"This gratitude should erase all worry, remove all the stress from your mind," my Sifu says.
Oh dear. My eyes have been aging, my vision is not what it used to be. On some deep level I fear losing my sight in my old age. Maybe this isn't such a good choice either.
Okay, I am not the extreme chocolate lover that some people are, but I do have a similar illicit love affair. Mine is with ice cream. From the almost guilt free lemon sorbet that nursed me through the flu a few months ago to the cappuccino gelato that has no equal, I am grateful for ice cream.
"We are going to use what ever you pick as a focal point all week," my Sifu adds.
Oh dear. I am always trying to drop a few pounds. Do I really want to spend the whole week focusing on my appreciation of ice cream? Probably not.
"Now concentrate on this gratitude," he says. I start to panic. What to pick? Something. Quick. Of all the million things I am grateful for doesn't one, qualify as simple and stress free?
I comes to me. Sunsets. I am grateful for sunsets.
My monkey mind (of which I am hearing a great deal about this week) has not one single objection. Sunsets it is. I imagine the beautiful colors of the sky at dusk as they burst into oranges and purples. I am grateful.
Read more about my novice attempts to quiet my monkey mind here. Read about other changes this week has wrought here.

Here at Abby Dental Care in Vernon, Dr. Burrows and Dr. Bevans utilize an advanced soft tissue laser.
The soft tissue laser allows Dr. Burrows and Dr. Bevans to perform a wide variety of dental procedures more efficiently and effectively. Soft tissue laser technology in dentistry has become so important through incorporating precision into a number of common and not-so-common procedures. Dental soft tissue lasers can reshape gum tissue to expose healthier tooth structure; referred to as crown lengthening, such reshaping provides a stronger foundation for the placement of restorations.
A soft tissue laser may also be utilized by Dr. Burrows or Dr. Bevans to eliminate speech impediments. Dental lasers may be used for the painless and suture-free removal of soft tissue folds often caused by ill-fitting dentures.
Please feel free to speak with any of our team members here at Abby Dental Care on the soft tissue dental laser technology incorporated by Dr. Burrows or Dr. Bevans.

Q: How can I make a conditional loop in python while skipping some files and read sequentially? #I want to make a loop as in my images folder there are thousands of images (image name is like t000001xy1c1.tif, t000001xy1c2.tif, t000001xy1c3.tif). How can I manipulate the following scripts to make  something so that I can skip every 2nd images sequentially from a list.##
##generating gzip file (black images),
##keeping it in the same directory and deleting the raw file##

import gzip
import os

#input file name

in_file = "t000001xy1c4.tif"

#reading input file

in_data = open(in_file, "rb").read()

#output file format (making gzip file and deleting the in_file)

out_gz = "t000001xy1c4.tif.gz"

gzf = gzip.open(out_gz, "wb")

gzf.write(in_data)

gzf.close()

#delete the original file after the gzip is done##

os.unlink(in_file)

A: According to your comment you already figured out how to use listdir. I myself always use the following function. It can search on multiple extensions at once like ['.tif', '.jpg'].
import os
import re

def get_all_file_paths(dir_path, extensions=[]):
    found_file_paths = []
    dir_entries = os.listdir(dir_path)
    for dir_entry in dir_entries:
        dir_entry_path = os.path.join(dir_path, dir_entry)
        if os.path.isfile(dir_entry_path):
            if extensions:
                # accept files with required extensions --------------------------
                extension = os.path.splitext(dir_entry)[1]
                if extension.lower() in extensions:
                    found_file_paths.append(dir_entry_path)
            else:
                # accept all files -----------------------
                found_file_paths.append(dir_entry_path)

    return found_file_paths

file_paths = get_all_file_paths(r'C:\dir', extensions=['.tif'])

Suppose it returns a list like this
file_paths = [
    r'C:\dir\T000001XY01C2.tif',
    r'C:\dir\T000001XY02C2.tif',
    r'C:\dir\T000001XY03C2.tif',
    r'C:\dir\T000001XY04C2.tif',
    ]

Then I would use  regular expressions to extract the numbers you want.
for file in file_paths:

    # get the XY**C*. part
    re_xy_c = r'XY\d+C\d+\.'
    result = re.findall(re_xy_c, os.path.split(file)[1])
    if result:
        xy_c_string = result[0]
        # now get the numbers from the xy_c_string
        re_numbers = r'\d+'
        result = re.findall(re_numbers, xy_c_string)
        first_nr = int(result[0])
        second_nr = int(result[1])
        print(first_nr, second_nr)
        # now make your choice
        if first_nr % 2 == 0:
            # even nr
            print('do even')
        else:
            # odd nr
            print('skip odd')
        print('------------')

Result
1 2
skip odd
------------
2 2
do even
------------
3 2
skip odd
------------
4 2
do even
------------

Trusted Platform Services (TPS) Committee
GlobalPlatform has a legacy of successful technical specification development
TPS Committee
The Trusted Platform Services (TPS) Committee is chaired by Jeremy O'Donoghue from Qualcomm. Full and participating GlobalPlatform members are eligible to contribute to this group.
The TPS Committee creates open specifications that:
Provide mechanisms enabling access to platform services offered by standardized secure components (such as the SE and TEE), both from within a device and from platforms external to it.
Assure the trustworthiness of a secure component within a device enabling a secure service, thanks to an attestable Chain of Trust (from the Root of Trust (RoT)) to the application or the cloud).
The aim is to make it easier for service providers and application developers in different market sectors to link together the strong security technology offered by secure components in their products. This will be achieved through GlobalPlatform's Device Trust Architecture (DTA).
The committee works to:
Develop and maintain the existing GlobalPlatform Specifications by defining high-level platform services.
Collaborate with existing technologies already available in the marketplace.
Define new specifications for devices hosting secure applications relying on a chain of trust anchored on RoT and secure boot.
Develop and maintain a GlobalPlatform Certification Program related to the specifications it manages, to facilitate and assure interoperability within the marketplace.
Develop RoT services and supporting APIs, including Certificate Store, Secure Storage, Authorization Service, Service Discovery and Device Enrollment and Update.
Develop APIs for attestation of device state and services.
Develop Keystore API Specification.
Develop Secure Component BLE Connector Specification.
Support the development of high-quality open source implementations of TPS Specifications.
Develop interoperable configurations for specific internet of things (IoT) use cases.
On Device NFC Service Management Specification
GlobalPlatform Managing Entity Specification completes a 'stack' of complementary software standards from ETSI and the NFC Forum that ensures multiple mobile contactless services successfully coexist within a device and will operate as intended, regardless of the hosting environment selected by the service provider.
SE Remote Application Management
This document defines a single administration protocol to perform remote management of applications residing on any type of SE in a device. By using this protocol, service providers can develop flexible remote administration platforms that could be easily extended to manage the same application in any SE.
Download the specification
SE Access Control
The Secure Element Access Control Specification is used in addition to existing protection mechanisms (such as permissions or security OS policy limiting access to sensitive APIs). It is designed to prevent unauthorized access to resources in the SE and typically to prevent denial of services attacks (e.g. PIN blocking, selection of non multi-selectable applets).

Re: Why can't we have hydrogen fueled cars?

Hydrogen As A Fuel
The question has no easy answer, but here are some of the major reasons why there are no currently commercially available hydrogen fueled vehicles and appliances. There is also a misconception that no one is interested in making them in the future. In fact there are many advances currently happening that make hydrogen an ever more viable alternative fuel.
Most of the major negatives to widespread usage of hydrogen are economic. There is currently a large, well established and, yes, entrenched system of delivering hydrocarbon fuels (gasoline, natural gas, propane, etc.) to consumers. To have a hydrogen fueled fleet of cars would require duplicating much of the infrastructure used to deliver gasoline to your local gas station. That would include, but not be limited to, the refineries, gas pipelines, delivery tanker trucks and on-site storage tanks and pump systems. Up to this point, the cost has been too high to justify the expenditures.
Appliances have a similar problem. Your gas stove can be modified with minimal effort to burn hydrogen. Similarly furnaces can be built to use hydrogen. However, a new delivery line similar to your gas line would need to be added to get the hydrogen to your house. Economics again gives an edge to the current electrical, natural gas or propane system.
The other major reason hydrogen is not is widespread usage is safety. Hydrogen is a highly flammable gas. Stored under pressure in a gas cylinder, it could represent a major hazard in a car wreck, for example. Hydrogen is also much harder to contain in normal usage. The extremely small size of the hydrogen atoms allows them to slip through the lattice of metal atoms. As such, metals that hold most gases easily can be permeated by hydrogen. Worse, if the proper metal is not used, the metal can become embrittled by the hydrogen to the point it becomes as brittle as glass. Seals and fittings that will stop natural gas allow hydrogen to pass through with ease.
The technical problems are not unsolvable. For example, use of hydride fuels for cars has been proposed as a method of safely containing the hydrogen in the event of a rupture in a car wreck. Materials have been developed, or are under development, that can be used in a hydrogen-rich environment. A main customer for these materials are hydrogen-fueled rocket motors used by NASA. Others are used for hydrogen handling when methane is cracked into hydrogen and nitrogen.
The economics of the situation are changing as well. The California laws dealing with emissions from cars are forcing automobile manufacturers to re-examine hydrogen fueled vehicles. Clean air regulations may force a choice between economic growth and automobiles. In that case a zero emission vehicle such as a hydrogen fueled car may make economic sense. Chrysler and Daimler-Benz among others have already started work on hydrogen fueled cars. The Hydrogen & Fuel Cell Letter produced by the National Hydrogen Association has several stories on these efforts along with other advances in production, transport, storage and usage of hydrogen as a fuel.
Currently the situation favors a continued use of hydrocarbons. As consumers and the government move to a desire for cleaner air, the situation may change.
While it is possible to make your own hydrogen production equipment and use hydrogen in your own home, make absolutely certain that you are aware of the problems associated with hydrogen before you begin. Hydrogen is a colorless, odorless gas that will collect when there is inadequate ventilation. An example of a prime spot in a typical home is the space between exposed joists in the basement. When it reaches about a concentration of about 4% it becomes a flammable and potentially explosive mixture. Typical sealants such as plumbers dope will not stop hydrogen. Special fittings and seals are required. Also, steel pipes such as those used for natural gas lines are generally susceptible to hydrogen embrittlement. You will also need to be in compliance with all local building codes. These will probably require you to meet national safety codes dealing with the use of hydrogen if they will even allow you to use hydrogen.
With these caveats in mind, it is possible to safely convert your home to hydrogen usage. Contact professional societies and trade groups such as the National Hydrogen Association for further help if you are interested.

A lot of Art today depends heavily on cultural navel-gazing and its associated Nationalism. Is primitive sculpture (western terminology) Art? Art as we understand it from a European perspective? Primitive 'Art' certainly has a different modus operandi and, what we would call an artefeact, they would call a special object with specific purpose within that society. Westerners have an understandable curiosity for the exotic and the different. But because something is culturally different, can we call it Art?
The evolution of Western society: changing social values & technological advances should be obvious themes for the contemporary artist. Art being a sign of the times. Art as zeitgeist - a perfectly acceptable stand. Such reflection however is dependant on one's own connection with a particular countries culture and history. Connecting with a countries past in this way can enhance one's sense of the present. Artists can react with criticism, celebration, fantasy, realism and in miriad ways from this root.
But what of more universal themes such as existance and all the thoughts and emotions which generations before and after will experience? Modes of expression will differ but we will remain one sole voice inside our heads till we're dead.
My parents are both Anglo-Indians and I an an Australian living in UK for the last 22 years. I therefore have cultural uncertainty. I feel part of no country and therefore feel I have little authority to place Nationalism anywhere near the centre of my motivation to paint.
My eight recent 60 x 45 paintings were created in a frenzy, each between 23h00-04h00 of a night. Trying to put myself in a fight or flight state of mind was the ambition. The work being evidence of 'a universal desperation we feel being a locked voice within ourselves'. The universal life force we continually misunderstand. I chose portraiture as the vehicle for this.
Children draw a circle as soon as they are co-ordinated to do more than scratchy scribbling. It is said that their first psycological understanding of 'the other' is a face peering down at them from above. And we continue to remain obsessed with faces. It's the face we explain ourselves to. It's the face where we derive a sense of emotion. Two eyes, two ears, one nose and a mouth. The shape of the head and hair. The internal structure of bone and teeth. It is the interface of much personal expression.


Keeping her door closed, the neighbor responded that nobody by that name lived in her home. That's when the man retreated to his white four-door sedan and fled.
But not before the homeowner wrote down the license plate of the suspicious vehicle and called police.
"The whole thing just felt odd to me, so I called 911," the neighbor wrote in an email shared by the Windsor Park Neighborhood Association.
Ten minutes after calling 911, she writes, a detective called asking for more information. Based on the detailed information she shared about what the man was wearing and the license plate number, police were able to pull over the car and take a look.
Turns out that the man who rang the doorbell that morning had stolen property in his car from a previous burglary that day. The driver and his two accomplices had been hitting the area between Forest and Walnut Hill, police say.
Neighborhood patrol officers advise anybody with information regarding suspicious activity to call 911.
