An error occurred while installing cryptography==3.4.7; python_version >= '3.6' --hash=sha256:3d10de8116d25649631977cb37da6c

I tried solved installing another a lot of libraries but I still cannot install any idea?
EDIT
It is necessary to install rust in alpine, but that alpine has an old version.
EDIT 2
After update the docker file like this:

Thanks

A: Answer for main question
Do you try python3 -m pip install cryptography==3.4.7 ?
Answer for EDIT 2
You probably need to install Cython.
I redirect you to this page about Cython in Alpine:

https://pkgs.alpinelinux.org/package/v3.3/main/x86/cython

You can also try to run python3 -m pip install Cython.

GOING ON 36: Ponderings on P/O/N's Anniversary
By: Penny Ohlmann Neimann On December 8, 1985
By Walter Ohlmann, President
As of December 31st, we closed the books on our 35th year in operation. Most were great years; a couple only near-great. But all spiked with the excitement of developing creative solutions to marketing communication problems.
We're a mite larger than we were in 1949 when Bob and Jean Penny founded the agency as Penny & Penny. When I joined the company in 1964, it necessitated the addition of a chair on the other side of Bob's desk. That made two chairs, one desk, one two-drawer file cabinet and a clothes rack in the corner.
From that single room office on Monument Avenue, we graduated to 700 square feet on Salem Avenue and stayed put for a couple of years 'til we moved to Main Street and 6,000 square feet, two-thirds of which were promptly rented out. In 1969, Ralph Neiman joined our growing group adding a full service art department for the first time. We continued to grow until there were more people than space. So, in 1982, we started our new building project, which doubled our size to 12,000 square feet. Today, 18 months after completion we don't have an empty square foot.
From Bob and Jean, we've grown to 42 seasoned pros – a growth that is gratifyingly impressive. And we have a client roster to match.
In addition to adding people over the years, we've also added capabilities like our in-house audio studio, our computerized typesetting operation, and our on-line media services. We've added departments such as Public Relations, National Yellow Pages, and Special Projects. And, of course, we've added clients. From $150,000 in billings in 1964 we're now billing at the rate of $13 million plus annually.
Looking back, it's been a challenging and satisfying road we've travelled. A lot of people have helped us along that road; our staff, our clients and our suppliers. God bless you all.
Looking ahead, we're structured for accelerated growth and we view the future with optimistic anticipation.
Penny Ohlmann Neimann
The Ohlmann Group has a rich history that began in Dayton, Ohio in 1949, where the agency was founded as Penny and Penny by Bob Penny and his wife Jean. In 1964, Walter Ohlmann joined the firm. Ralph Neiman came on in 1969 and the firm became Penny/Ohlmann/Neiman. In 2011, P/O/N was renamed The Ohlmann Group to better reflect the agency's ongoing evolution and collaborative nature.

Bron Aber offers comfortable and tastefully decorated bed and breakfast in the town of Criccieth in Gwynedd. The B&B is in an ideal location from which to explore Snowdonia and North Wales. It is situated only 200 yards from the beach and a short walk will take you to shops & restaurants.
Criccieth is a picturesque, quiet and romantic seaside village situated at the south coast of the Lleyn Peninsula. The "southern portal" to the peninsula is dominated by the castle sitting upon a seaside rock.
Snowdonia is one of the best known and best-loved landscapes in the UK which does not need much introduction. Named after Snowdon, the highest mountain of England and Wales, the dramatic and rugged area of natural beauty by the sea, is visited by millions of sight-seers and outdoor enthusiasts every year.
Stanborough Farm B&B is a working dairy farm offering bed and breakfast accommodation set deep in the beautiful South Hams countryside at Halwell. It is just 6 miles from Totnes, Dartmouth & Kingsbridge and just a little further from Salcombe.
The dining room overlooks the garden and down to Halwell. A good farmhouse breakfast is served each morning, using fresh eggs from the farm's own hens plus other produce when possible. If you stay 6 nights or more you are welcome to a free evening meal (for all) at the farm where you will be served a four-course meal using as many ingredients as possible from the farm, one snag - you'll have to bring your own wine!!
The B&B is ideally located for visiting the moors, South Devon beaches, gardens, Plymouth, Exeter & Torbay. We have two country pubs serving good food and ales just 5-minute walk from the farm. The kind owners are happy to provide a taxi service if required.
Market Cross Guest House is a 200 year old property that provides luxury, high quality guest accommodation and quality cuisine. The B&B is located in the peaceful Northumberland village of Belford which is between Alnwick and Berwick-upon-Tweed.
The guest bedrooms are all en suite and include toiletries, Nespresso coffee machine, kettle, hospitality tray, homemade treats, DAB radio with iPod docking station, LCD TV, ironing facilities and hairdryer.
Sourced from the finest local ingredients, our breakfasts and dinners have gained us AA awards for both.
The location of the guest house is ideal for exploring the beautiful coastline and outstanding attractions including Bamburgh Castle, Alnwick Castle, Farne Islands, Howick Hall and Warkworth Castle.
It's been a long wait, but winter is finally here! To celebrate the start of season 8 of Game of Thrones, here are 5 filming locations from the series & places to stay nearby. If you know your Baratheons from your Targaryens, we're sure this will have you packing up your bags & planning a Westerosi holiday.
1. The historic farmyard at Castle Ward in County Down was the backdrop for Winterfell in season one. If you visit now you can try out archery & stand in the spots where Jon Snow & Bran once stood! There's also a brilliant gift shop packed full of Game of Thrones-themed items. Stay nearby at Fortwilliam Country House, a charming country house set in 70 acres of lush countryside.
2. When Theon returned to the Iron Islands and was reunited with his sister Yara, he was really sailing into Ballintoy Harbour! Ballintoy is a quaint harbour town which is simply beautiful to explore and gives a real taste of rural Irish life. The Smugglers Inn provides family-friendly accommodation & dining just a short drive away.
3. Dating back to the 12th century, only ruins are left of Inch Abbey in Co Down. Game of Thrones fans will recognise it as where Robb Stark was named the 'King in the North' back in season 1. Many tours in the area take in this magnificent site, with some even providing swords & capes for you to recreate Robb's big moment! The Briers Country House is a family-run B&B in nearby Newcastle & is the ideal base for exploring the area, with a bit of extra luxury thrown in.
4. The scenic Downhill Strand is well worth visiting, whether you're a Game of Thrones fan or not! It doubled as Dragonstone, where Melisandre burned the old gods and told us that "the night is dark & full of terrors". The knowledgeable staff at Coolmore House are more than happy to suggest other days out & great places to eat nearby.
5. Your hosts at Valley View run fabulous tours of the local area, including a trip to the Dark Hedges! Arya, Gendry & Hot Pie travelled here as the setting of the Kingsroad - hopefully your journey will be less eventful that theirs was!

California dam managers dismissed flood concern 12 years ago
KTVU FOX 2
Environmental activists and local government officials warned more than a decade ago about the risk of catastrophic flooding below a major Northern California dam - the very scenario that threatened to unfold over the weekend, forcing the evacuation of nearly 200,000 people downstream.
State and federal regulators dismissed those fears at the time, saying they were confident the hillside that helps hold back billions of gallons of water was stable and did not need to be reinforced with concrete.
That decision has come under scrutiny now that the hillside - or emergency spillway, as officials call it - has been put to its first test in the Oroville Dam's nearly 50-year history.
Over the weekend, water from the storm-swollen reservoir behind the dam spilled down the unpaved slope, causing such heavy erosion that authorities feared a huge breach could open and send a 30-foot-high torrent down the Feather River, devastating thousands of homes. The dam is about 70 miles north of Sacramento.
The danger appeared to ease slightly on Monday as the water level behind the dam dropped, but more rain was in the forecast, and residents as far as several dozen miles downriver in Yuba City were not allowed back into their homes.
In 2005, at the start of dam's still-unfinished relicensing process, environmental groups asked federal regulators to require that the California Department of Water Resources "armor" the hillside - or reinforce it, typically with concrete or boulders - to prevent potentially catastrophic erosion from water escaping around the side of the 770-foot-high dam.
The groups said soil, rocks and other debris could be swept into the river below, damaging highway bridges and power plants. In a worst case, they warned, a major breach would unleash floods that could take lives and destroy property.
But the water resources department dismissed the need to fortify the natural earthen barrier and insisted the hillside would not be in danger if water flowed down it. In a final environmental impact report dated June 2008, state officials wrote that no "significant concerns" about the hillside's stability had been raised in any government or independent review.
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, the agency that oversees the dam's relicensing and received the request for armoring, agreed that paving was not needed.
On Monday, Bill Croyle, acting head of the Department of Water Resources, refused to comment on the 2005 concerns, saying he was not familiar with the warnings and would need to research the matter.
"I think that the warning that was given should have been taken with the utmost seriousness," Bob Wright, an attorney at Friends of the River, which raised the concern along with the Sierra Club and South Yuba River Citizens League, said Monday. "We're talking about the danger to life and property."
Starting last week, officials had been trying to relieve pressure on the dam by releasing a torrent of water through an adjacent, concrete-lined channel designed to handle heavy flows. When a section of that channel began to crumble, dam managers eased off those controlled releases. Water then began spilling down the hillside.
A FERC spokeswoman said the original, 50-year license for the dam expired in January 2007 but has been automatically renewed each year pending a full renewal
"We have just, in December 2016, received all the necessary permits and other documents we need before issuing a final decision on the application," spokeswoman Mary O'Driscoll said.

Q: Magento : How to select products by multiple attributes? Trying to get products where special_price is set and special_from_date is less than todays date and special_to_date is more than todays date, so:
$currentTime = Mage::getSingleton('core/date')->gmtDate();
$_products = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->getCollection()
    ->addAttributeToSelect('*')
    ->addAttributeToFilter(
        array(
            array(
                'attribute' => 'promotionactive','promotionactive' => true,
                'and' => array(
                        'attribute' => 'special_from_date','date' => true,'lt' => $currentTime,
                    'and' => array(
                            'attribute' => 'special_to_date','date' => true,'gt' => $currentTime,
                        'and' => array(
                                'special_price' => true)
                        ),
                    )
                )
            )
        )
    ;

Today I simplified it a bit but it still won't get products properly. The filter is set to select only if promotionactive is true but in results I can see all the products regardless if is true or false.
Finally the code is doing it's job:
$currentTime = Mage::getSingleton('core/date')->gmtDate();
$_products = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->getCollection()
    ->addAttributeToSelect('*')
    ->addAttributeToFilter('promotionactive' , true);
$id = $_products->getFirstItem()->getId();
$_product = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->load($id);
if(($_product['promotionactive'] == True) && (($_product['special_price'])==True) && (strtotime($_product->getSpecialFromDate()) < strtotime($currentTime)) && (strtotime($currentTime) < strtotime($_product->getSpecialToDate()))){
    $milliEnd = strtotime($_product->getSpecialToDate()) * 1000;
    $productUrl = $_product->getUrlInStore();
}else{
    //some code
}

Problem solved, thanks everyone.
If there is any way to make it better please post below ;)

A: Use below code :
$collection = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->getCollection();
$collection->addMinimalPrice()
            ->addFinalPrice()
            ->addTaxPercents()
            ->addUrlRewrite();
Mage::getSingleton('catalog/product_status')->addVisibleFilterToCollection($collection);
Mage::getSingleton('catalog/product_visibility')->addVisibleInCatalogFilterToCollection($collection);

$collection->getSelect()->where("`price_index`.price !=price_index.min_price");
$now = Mage::getSingleton('core/date')->gmtDate();
$collection->addAttributeToFilter('special_from_date', array('or'=> array(
    0 => array('date' => true, 'to' => $now),
    1 => array('is' => new Zend_Db_Expr('null')))
), 'left');

Bringing the Fact-Checkers of the world together
For the seventh year running, the Global Fact-Checking Summit (Global Fact) will bring together fact-checkers, journalists, scholars and representatives of tech platforms, as well as other professionals and students interested in this form of journalism.
Once more, it will be a practitioner's conference, where participants will come together to share their experiences and learn about best practices to implement in their own work.
Global Fact 7 will take place in Norway, at the Oslo Metropolitan University's City Center Campus, from June 24-27, 2020. It is being organized by the International Fact-Checking Network in partnership with Norwegian fact-checking organization Faktisk.no, OsloMET University, the journalism training institute Institutt for Journalistikk and the foundation for investigative journalism SKUP.
"We are very proud to host this conference in Oslo," said Kristoffer Egeberg, Faktisk's editor-in-chief. "Scandinavia outranks most when it comes to freedom and democracy. However, along with the rest of the world, misinformation and disinformation have become a major challenge in the Nordic countries. In small nations with few fact-checkers, we need to set rivalries aside and work together across borders and disciplines. That is what the IFCN and the Global Fact are all about: learning together and working together, exchanging experiences in the fight against disinformation."
In its seventh edition, Global Fact will run four tracks:
● Academic Track
A call for papers will be announced in partnership with Oslo Metropolitan University. Global Fact 7 will host presentations by scholars on misinformation, online trust and information integrity.
● Editorial Track
The flagship track of Global Fact conferences will again bring practitioners together and foster discussions on fact-checking, verification, newsroom economics and management
● Developers Track
Automated fact-checking, the role of AI, ethics of algorithms, tools, and products for fact-checking on dark social and closed messaging apps will be discussed by participants
● Executive Track
Mentoring and coaching sessions from industry leaders will be offered to executives of fact-checking organizations to help them grow their leadership skills in management, fundraising, partnerships and teamwork. In addition to the above, Global Fact 7 in Oslo will bring together participants from diverse backgrounds and utilize networking opportunities.
Apply to attend
Please express your interest to attend Global Fact 7 no later than Jan. 17. We aim to get back to you by Feb. 14. Accepted applicants will be invited to register free of charge, while others will be offered the opportunity to register with a fee.
Priority is given to working fact-checkers and those actively developing tools to combat misinformation or studying in the field in a way that can help fact-checkers improve their work.
Melbourne, Australia will host Global Fact 8 in 2021
Global Fact 8 will be in Melbourne at the RMIT University in June 2021. The International Fact-Checking Network will organize the Eight Global Fact-Checking Conference with Australian fact-checking organization RMIT ABC Fact Check , and the Walkley Foundation for Journalism.
A further announcement will be done later this month with the exact dates and the venue of the conference.
The Global Fact-Checking Summit (Global Fact) is the premier conference dedicated to fact-checking worldwide. Global Fact is organized by Poynter's International Fact-Checking Network and has been held every year since 2014. The first two conferences were held in London, and the respective ones were in Buenos Aires, Madrid, and Rome.

Rif Dimashq (Syria News) The Kuwaiti Syrian Holding announced, on Thursday, purchasing a land in Rif Dimashq, Syria, with other investors, for 12.2 million US dollars.
A statement released by the company stated that the company purchased the land, which is located in the areas of Ya'four, with a total area exceeds 100 square meters.
The company has a share of 45% (5.5 million US dollars) in the land, and it is planning to establish a mega residential project on the whole area of the land.
The Kuwaiti Syrian Holding is one of the largest holding companies in Syria that was operating mega projects, but its operations were stopped in the country due to the war that broke out seven years ago.
The Kuwaiti Syrian Holding has several important projects in Syria, such as "Kiwan Tourism Project", which was announced in 2009, with a cost of 127 million US dollars. The project included a hotel, a mall, a cinema complex and a conference center.
It is noteworthy that the resumption of investment in the country is a strong indicator on the return of the gulf companies to the Syrian economic arena, to contribute to the reconstruction of the country.

SOOMLA REPORT REVEALS INSIGHT INTO MOBILE GAMING MONETIZATION
Gur Dotan
https://appdevelopermagazine.com/images/news_images/Soomla-First-Game-Players-App-Developer-Magazine_zwo2vpy5.jpg
Gur Dotan in Monetize Tuesday, March 1, 2016
Approximately a month ago, App Developer Magazine published an article following a Flurry report on the growth of app usage. It showed some interesting stats, including a staggering fact that app usage grew 58% in the last year alone, while time spent on phablets grew 334% year-on-year, proving to be the dominant form factor.
What was left out of that report was the Games category – still the most popular app category in pretty much every app store you can find.
Here at SOOMLA (we're a mobile game analytics startup) we recently published another report, which looks with great detail into in-app purchases in free-to-play games. The report, entitled SOOMLA Q1 2016 Mobile Insights Report, sheds important light on the state of the mobile gaming industry, and provides valuable data.
Who pays for in-game goods
The most important highlight of the report is the fact that gamers who have purchased in-game goods are six times more likely to purchase something in the next one as well, compared to a random player. The analysis also shows the more money players spend in one game, the likelihood of them purchasing something in the next one increases.
Trigger-happy players (those who are quick on the draw when shopping in-game purchases are concerned), are even more likely to pay in the next one, as 18% of the quick payers decided to pay in a second game, as well.
Moreover, the more games paying players pay in, the bigger the chances of them purchasing something in the next one.
The report also analyzed when, during the day and during the week, are mobile gamers most active. Unsurprisingly, the weekend is every mobile gamer's best friend, with the average DAU (daily active users) jumping 30-50% during the days off. Weekends see 30-50% more DAU. In other words - weekends are a great time for launching a game or carrying out promotions.
In a separate analysis we did back in October 2015, it was also found that players are more inclined to do the majority spending at that time, making weekends the perfect place to start a marketing campaign.
You only get one chance
Phablet usage may have grown 334% year-on-year, and it might be the dominant form factor for all the usual apps, but with games, it's the tablet that takes the crown. It is important to notice that gamers use both smartphones and tablets to play games, but they do it in a different way.
On smartphones, their sessions will be somewhat shorter, however more frequent. Tablet users will see less sessions, but will be longer. Just as in real life, the first impression is the most important in games, as the number of sessions drops fast, and drops hard.
Our report suggests that 33.5% of users will play just one session before deciding to call it quits. Building an engaging game is a major challenge as only 6% of the users get to play more than 20 sessions, while less than 0.5% will open the game more than a hundred times. The median number of sessions per user is 2, compared to an average of 6.5.
Looking at what gamers usually spend their money on in the game, there are two different elements – consumables, and lifetime items. Consumables, which include potions, elixirs and all other items that can only be used once (or a limited amount of time) after being purchased, make up for 71% of all purchases. \
But – they're not the number one source of revenue for game developers. Our analysis shows it's the lifetime items which make the difference, with 65% of all revenue coming from these types of goods.
No shortcuts for game developers
One of the report's insights is that game developers often decide to go for the shortcut when creating an in-game economy – offering limited purchases, with just a handful of one-time items. Our report backs this so-called 'Limited Economy' problem by stating that 65% of revenue originates from lifetime goods.
Building an engaging core loop in your game that gets users spending early on (both virtual and real money) requires significantly more effort, but rewards developers with significantly higher retention and revenue.
If the developers are not really interested in building an engaging core loop, the players most likely won't be that interested in playing the game.

Accrington 165-7, Todmorden 154
Accrington CC 1977
©Garth Dawson
Graham Beech top scored with 73 in Accrington's 11 run win over Todmorden at Thorneyholme Road. The opener hit ten boundaries, three of which were off successive balls in the 31st over bowled by Bob Whitaker, in an innings that lasted two hours and 17 minutes, adding 45 with Peter West (17) for the 1st wicket. Malcolm Taylor (17), Glyn Davies (16) and John Swanney (14) also chipped in with Whitaker taking 4-50 for the visitors. Todmorden got off to a rapid start in reply in spite of losing Brian Heywood in the first over. Professional Mohsin Khan was trapped in front by his opposite number Alan Worsick for 31 with the score on 38 in the fifth over after the home pro' had changed ends. Solid knocks in the middle order by Garth Stansfield (35), Brian Whittaker (25), Phil Morgan (24) and Jim Clayton (20) put the visitors in a good position but the game changed after Dave Parsons (3-55) dismissed Whittaker and Worsick (6-46) accounted for Stansfield as the last 5 wickets fell for the addition of just 5 runs. Wicketkeeper Paul Graham picked up 3 catches for Accrington. Scorecard


*Disclosure: My family and I were hosted aboard the Carnival Imagination and I am working in partnership with them to bring this information to you. These views are 100% my own and I take great pride in only sharing with you things that I would purchase myself.
A couple of months ago, we were offered the opportunity to travel with Carnival Cruise lines. As a first time cruiser, I jumped at the opportunity because I know that this is an item that is high on many family travel bucket lists, and it's definitely been high on ours. So, with Christmas right around the corner, I wanted to share our experience, and express what a neat gift idea this might be. Not to mention that booking a cruise was (to my surprise) quite easy to do! Once you select the cruise that fits your needs, Carnival does all the work!
If you are thinking of booking, head to the Carnival website here to get started. They make it so easy by laying out the cruise options based on the days you wish to travel and they also have some pretty sweet holiday offers going on right now!
I'll be sharing more in the future about our cruise, but today I wanted to give you a peek at what we found aboard the Carnival Imagination and why I'm totally sold on cruising Carnival now. There is SO much to do for families, and it's a great way to unplug and connect. We took my mom for her 70th birthday and honestly, it really was a priceless few days. If you are looking to unplug and get away for some REAL family time, I can't recommend this enough. With cruises starting as low as $69 per person / per day… this is an affordable venture that you will remember for years to come!
We had so much fun playing miniature golf and it was so awesome to be able to just go and do these things as they fit into our schedule. We also played shuffle board, ping pong, swam, danced (our heads off!), played Bingo, did some crafts, the list goes on and on.
Carnival provides you with a list of daily activities, and there is always (always!) something to do. There is also a fun arcade for the kids and I loved that I could load their cards with a few dollars so that they could go play from time to time.
We also really enjoyed the fun family activities like the Hasbro Game Show. This is very similar to a real game show, they have several life size Hasbro games and they call audience members up and you can actually win some really nice prizes. I highly recommend getting up on that stage if you can!
Now, if mom and dad need a break, they also have an awesome camp for kids called Camp Ocean. My kids are 10 and 12 so they were a bit old for that and they found plenty to do in their free time, but I had conversations with many parents who not only loved this option, but their kids loved it as well!
I felt like the staff of the Carnival Imagination did a really great job of making sure that families were having fun and getting the most out of the experience. They seemed to understand what "vacation" means and they were continually going out of their way to direct us towards whatever fun might be happening at that time, and let me tell you: there is never a shortage of fun on these ships!
We even had the chance to Groove for St. Jude which was an awesome time for my daughter and I to not only have a great time on the dance floor, but do something fun for a charity as well!
I can't say enough great things about the food on this ship. First of all, it's all inclusive, so major mom win there. Second of all, very well thought out and the menus are fantastic and the buffets are crazy good, so many options and really good food.
I'll touch more on the food at a later date but I don't think anyone could ever be disappointed with the food on these cruises. There is SO much to choose from and I was pleasantly surprised to find that not only do they offer a lot of food, but they have some excellent choices. Our favorites were the burger bar, the taco bar and of course the buffets are amazing. I do recommend taking some time to enjoy the sit down meals as well. The true beauty of all inclusive travel is that mama doesn't have to cook or clean up and she also doesn't have to worry about anyone going hungry.
Our favorite meal was this wonderful American Feast that was served in the dining room. When you cruise with Carnival, they will assign you dining rooms for these types of things. I have no idea how they do it, but the service is fantastic and so is the food. It all tastes very fresh and gourmet and as you can see, the presentation is amazing.
It was so fun to be able to take my mom on a trip with the kids like this. We all spend time together in our regular lives but it's often chaotic and hard to plan. Life is so busy that it was a real treat to just take a few days (we did the 4 day cruise) and enjoy each other's company. And I love that my kids will have these memories of time spend with their grandmother.
That little pink blur in the photo below? That's my spunky 10 year old up dancing with the wait staff. I couldn't get over how friendly and fun they were, especially with my kids. They really go out of their way to include kids and make sure that everyone his having a great time.
We flew into LA and traveled out of the port in Long Beach. The cruise that we were on went to Ensenada, Mexico where were were allowed to spend some time off the ship in the little market. It was really neat to take in some of the culture and we also made a fun new friend.
And I haven't even mentioned the night life yet! They had SO much going on, so many choices including some great shows. I still can't figure out how they make all this magic happen out at sea, but honestly, the shows were fantastic and a great addition to our time on the ship.
We also loved just hanging out on the deck in the evening. The kids loved to swim and of course, we had to take in some of the wonderful dessert offerings. I'm telling you, from sun up to sun down (and even after) this was truly a experience to remember!
See this mama's face right here? That's me and that's happiness gushing out. See what I meant when I said priceless?
If you are thinking of booking, head to the Carnival website here to get started and feel free to ask me any questions. If I can't answer them, I know people who can and I would be more than happy to help!

Care for Cops Home
In 1999, a group of individuals from the Metro Atlanta Crime Commission decided that a great way to help families of law enforcement officers that were killed in the line of duty would be to organize a charity. A motorcycle ride was planned and called Care For Cops Ride For Law Enforcement.
David Post, President of Future Security, a former full-time law enforcement officer, and a reserve officer since 1975, was chairman of the group. With the group's effort and hard work, the Care For Cops organization became a reality. On April 1, 2000, 250 people participated in the First Annual Care For Cops Charity Motorcycle Ride. Since then, Care For Cops has experienced the support of over 1,000 individuals.
The Care For Cops Motorcycle Ride started at Stone Mountain Harley-Davidson and would end at Lake Lanier Islands. During the motorcycle rides, Gwinnett, DeKalb, and Cobb County Police Departments, as well as other members of local law enforcement agencies, escorted the riders on this annual event. The Care For Cops Organization thanks these groups for their contributions to the success and safety of the ride. At each ride, we saw all types of motorcycle manufacturers and riders of every type. Participants had opportunities to win door prizes, including motorcycle gear, artwork, t-shirts, hats, jackets, and custom cooking grills. In addition, music was played; food and vendors were also provided for everyone's enjoyment. One year, during the Care For Cops Motorcycle Ride, participants were encouraged to show off their motorcycles at the Biker's Showcase. This event was not only fun but also recognized the law enforcement's efforts and helped raise money for the families of other fellow officers. Since 2000, the Care For Cops Motorcycle Ride has raised money and distributed the funds to those that met our non-profit requirements.
In 2006, in addition to the Care For Cops Motorcycle Ride, Care For Cops celebrated its First Annual Care For Cops Golf Tournament at the Château Élan Golf Course in Braselton, Georgia. The weather that November morning was a bit cold starting out, but everyone enjoyed a day of golf which started off with Stewart Cink conducting a putting clinic for all the participants. Players also were able to participate in a putting contest where they could put their new knowledge to the test! After the tournament, everyone enjoyed a luncheon and awards ceremony where awards for 1st 2nd and 3rd place were awarded along with the award for the worst score – a new fishing rod so the players could possibly take up a new sport! During the day there were many wonderful items that could be bid on in the silent auction. These items were donated by various companies in the area to help raise money for families.

Artemisia is named after the Greek goddess of chastity.
Almost all plants in genus artemisia have the same characteristic, pungent fragrance and silvery, lace-like foliage that easily contrasts and overpowers the modest yellow flowers that accompany them. Although widely known as wormwood (Artemisia absinthium), which grows in U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 4 through 8, it is also a vigorous grower -- so vigorous you might want to segregate it in your landscape. Although artemisia tolerates an a range of growing conditions, including soil with poor fertility and a pH from 6.0 to 7.0, it doesn't fare well in poor-draining soil.
Sterilize the blades of your pruners for 10 minutes in a mixture of nine parts water and one part chlorine bleach. Remove the pruners and let them air dry.
Cut 4- to 6-inch sections from the tips of two or three healthy, semi-ripe artemisia shoots, using hand pruners, and place them in a container of water. Take the cuttings in autumn after the humidity drops. Make the cuts below a pair of leaf nodes from shoots of recent growth. Wipe the blades with a cloth moistened with isopropyl alcohol between cuts.
Fill a 10-inch pot with horticultural perlite until it reaches 1/2-inch from the rim. Dig one hole in the center of the perlite for each cutting, using a wood skewer or pencil. Make the hole one-third the length of the cuttings and about twice as wide.
Pour 1/2-tablespoon of a rooting powder on a plate. Pinch the leaves from the bottom one-third of the artemisia cuttings and cut the remaining leaves in half horizontally with shears.
Dip the basal ends of the cutting in the rooting powder, making sure you cover the wounded portions. Place the cuttings in the holes, basal end down, and mound the perlite around each slightly.
Water the perlite until water drains from the pot. Place the pot outside in an area that receives bright, indirect light and place a clear plastic bag over the cutting. Wrap a rubber band around the lip of the pot to hold the bag in place.
Spray the artemisia cuttings every couple of days with water from a spray bottle. Gently tug on the cutting after a few weeks to check for rooting. Remove the bag after the cuttings root.
Loosen the perlite from around the pot with a garden trowel and slide the plant from the pot after the cutting roots. Scrape away the perlite and spread the roots.
Water the artemisia when the soil starts to dry on top, watering to a depth of 2 to 3 inches.
Trim back the previous season's growth, allowing only new growth to remain, each spring after the threat of frost has passed. Pinch off spent flowers to help control growth by inhibiting self-seeding.
Artemisia, like all plants in its genus, is poisonous.

Plants have been utilized for their medicinal powers since ancient times. Today such plants are shedding their "alternative healing" label, as researchers are analyzing and quantifying their properties, and as more and more allopathic medical doctors are incorporating them into their healing practices.
Roni and Peretz Gan run the SupHerbs farm in Zippori, not far from Nazareth. Established in 1986, the company has been cultivating medicinal plants for Israel and for export since 1990. Some of the plants grown here have been used for millennia: hyssop, for example, is mentioned in the Bible and is still employed today, both in cooking (you see it as zaatar in Israeli recipes) and as a folk medicine. Feverfew was employed as a healing plant in Roman times and is still used as an anti-inflammatory. Antibacterial, antifungal, antioxidant, parasite-fighting, and immune-boosting substances are found in native Israeli plants such as Palestine oak, terebinth, Mediterranean stink bush, chamomile, carob, sage, nettle, and marigold.
Peretz and Roni know a great deal about the properties of the plants they are tending. Among them is the extraordinary moringa—sometimes called the "miracle tree": a fast-growing, drought-resistant plant, native to the Himalayas, so hardy and so packed with nutrients that many are hopeful that it will serve as an important tool to combat malnutrition.
Most of these plants can be procured in one form or another through SupHerbs, which complements its own line of cultivated products with imported plants, including traditional Chinese and Ayurvedic herbs.

"'Attention Vandals: if you don't want to be shot, stay away from this street.' That was home." A longtime San Francisco resident looks back on the rapid gentrification of her neighborhood while offering some hope for the city's future.
Photographer Janet Delaney has spent decades focusing on the rapid transformation of SoMa, or South of Market, a busy neighborhood in downtown San Francisco, California. As a former industrial hub, the character of this area has changed drastically over the past 40 years. When she started the project in 1978, Delaney could see rapid alterations—new faces, new buildings—already beginning all around her neighborhood. She started taking photographs as a way to record her home in the face of this fundamental transfiguration.
In this video interview, Delaney looks back on the history of SoMa and comments on what she sees as the city's future. While many longtime residents bemoan the drastic impact that the tech industry has had on affordability, perhaps there is a positive lesson that the city can teach this wave of relative newcomers. As a uniquely accepting and open-minded place, San Francisco might be able to impart the importance of empathy, acceptance and civic support on its new residents. But as Delaney admits, that's only her frame of mind "on a good day." Watch for more insights from this insightful urban observer.
Editors' note: In 2013, Delaney published a book on this series, South of Market, with MACK Books. This work in that series was exhibited in a one-person show at the de Young Museum in San Francisco in 2015. She is now working on Public Matters, her next book of images made in San Francisco circa 1985, to be published in the spring of 2018 by MACK.

Chapter 3. Aporrectodea longa (Annelida, Lumbricidae): A Suitable Earthworm Model for Genotoxicity Evaluation in the Environment
Semple, Kirk T. and Martin, Francis L ORCID: 0000-0001-8562-4944 (2017) Chapter 3. Aporrectodea longa (Annelida, Lumbricidae): A Suitable Earthworm Model for Genotoxicity Evaluation in the Environment. In: Ecotoxicology and Genotoxicology. Issues in Toxicology . Royal Society of Chemistry, pp. 59-75. ISBN 978-1-78262-811-8

There remains a need for systems that can accurately predict the genotoxicity potential of real-world environmental contexts accurately and in a high-throughput, low-cost fashion. Aporrectodea longa is an abundant species of earthworm that could be adapted as a sentinel organism to investigate spatial and temporal exposure effects. We amended soil samples with 12C-labelled compounds [benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P) as positive control, cypermethrin, diazinon or isoproturon) at levels in line with real-world typical environmental levels. These were placed in glass jars, whereupon A. longa were exposed for 24 h. Soil samples amended with cypermethrin were variously aged up to 100 days. Post-exposure, coelomic fluid containing coelomyocytes were harvested and incorporated into the alkaline single cell-gel electrophoresis ('comet') assay. In isolated nuclei, DNA damage in the form of single-strand breaks (SSBs) was quantified as Comet tail length (CTL, μm). Significant (P <0.0001) Comet-forming activity was identified with all test agents; however, ageing appeared to reduce the potential for cypermethrin-induced comet formation. Amendment of soil samples with 14C-labelled compounds allowed organism uptake to be quantified. This showed that A. longa ingests or dermally absorbs such environmental contaminants in soil and can be employed as a sensitive indicator of environmental contaminants. Coelomyocytes are readily harvested from these earthworms in a non-sacrificial manner, can be incorporated into short-term genotocicity assays to detect DNA SSBs and can allow for spatial and/or temporal studies. This has great potential for identifying environmental contamination especially for use in monitoring of land remediation.

At approximately 9 o�clock this morning I was notified by Mark Ober�s office that they were at the Bay County Courthouse in the process of obtaining eight warrants for the arrest of the drill instructors and the nurse involved in the Martin Anderson investigation.
I was advised the charges would be Aggravated Manslaughter by Culpable Negligence. I understand seven of the drill instructors have been arrested at this time.
This has been a lengthy, complex, and intense investigation. Mr. Ober�s office has made the decision to charge these individuals with a criminal offense and they now will have the right to a trial.
Despite continued allegations and accusations of cover up, misconduct, and conspiracy relating to the original investigation by the Bay County Sheriff�s Office and other agencies involved, Mr. Ober�s office has determined these to be false and absolutely unfounded.
It is now time for the attention to be focused on the facts at hand and to only hope that justice will prevail.


Does philosophy make progress? Of course, but it does so differently from, say, science. Here is a brief conceptual history of how philosophy evolved over time, from the all-purpose approach of the ancient Greeks to the highly specialized academic discipline it is today. Written and narrated by philosopher Massimo Pigliucci.


We are working on a new version of ManiaLib (PHP framework for manialinks). In order to make things simplier, it will be split in several standalone packages (like Symfony components).
The first package we're working on is the evolution of ManiaLib\Gui and is made for building the actual XML of manialink pages.
We are keeping some stuff from ManiaLib\Gui, but are still starting from scratch and breaking most of the compatibility, so don't expect to easilly convert old Manialib code to this new lib.
The good news is that it uses a new namespace (ManiaLib\Manialink) so you can actually use both at the same time without conflict if you'd like.
As stated above, ManiaLib\Manialink is standalone. It is made for abstracting XML. Therefore you can use it wherever you fancy, from Web apps (typically manialinks) to controllers (eg. ManiaLive).
Installation is easy with composer, and usage, after a bit of learning, should feel confortable and logical.
It's a work in progress. Although functionnal, it lacks some classes and methods. We will break things without notice. Still, we think working on it openly on github is a nice way to do. We can also consider suggestions for features.
I'll be glad to answer questions you might have!
- Why making a new version from scratch whereas the current version seems to work correctly?
I started ManiaLib when i was an intern back in 2008. While it works very well, we've been working with it daily for the past 5 years, so we have a very clear vision of what's working and what's cumbersome or not working. Starting from scratch allows to break whatever we want, build a very clean and logical architecture. It also helps moving faster.
I looked through the code, and I have some suggestions on how you can improve the quality of it and to make it easier to understand and thus to use.
It is important, that you start adding all the PHP-Docblocks. Because if you do not add them right at the beginning, you will never add them at all. It will not only help others understanding your code, it will also help yourself when you return to old code after some months, as you may have forgotten what it does.
Most important is that return types and incoming parameter types are named in the docblocks. PHP has a weak type safety, this makes the documentation of the types even more important. For example in the Elements classes, the return types are already defined (helping the IDE providing the autocomplete), yet not a single incoming parameter type has been specified. What does Label->setAutonewline() expect? A boolean (as it is a flag of the label), or a string (as it will be an XML attribute in the end)?
I think it is no secret that public properties should be avoided. Yet Cards\Box and Cards\LabelBox have public ->bg and ->label. As soon as I set one of these properties to something other than Node instances, I think ManiaLib will break somewhere. Provide Setters and Getters as you did in the other classes to refuse setting wrong values to the properties.
The last one is more a personal preference.
While using fluent interface is nice, you switch the context several times in this code block. With ->bg you go to the background element to set the style, and then return with getParent() to the original one, and do that again with ->label.
Maybe with this you notice that $ui gets appended twice to $frame?
Yep, it's planned. Right now i'm focusing on the code itelf to move faster since MP3 is our priority. But obviously i'd like to document the code to generate a nice doc.
I agree that theoretically it's bad. But it's a tradeoff for simplicity's sake. I might add getters on those open source objects to have a cleaner project, even if we keep on using public props in our own cards internally.
I agree. It was a quick and dirty example to see if it worked, but i would probably write it like you did.
Why don't make documentation while you're coding?
