Ryuk ransomware "still going strong"
Multiple groups still using Ryuk to extort money from companies.

It's almost March 2019, but the Ryuk ransomware is still going strong.
Latest reports from McAfee and Coveware claim that there are still "several" hacking groups using Ryuk to extort money out of their victims.
Ryuk has become popular after its users targeted US newspapers, but this time around, the report states that IT hosting, as well as Freight and Logistics industries, have been particularly interesting for attackers.
"IT Hosting companies are of note as the size and number of their servers can make them appear like a large organization," it was said.
The groups behind the attack 'have a relation with one of the post-Soviet republics', it was said, mostly because Russian text was found in one of the encrypted files. Also, there were some cultural references being thrown around during ransom negotiations.
Researchers believe the attackers have some relation to those behind the Trickbot banking trojan.
The ransomware itself seems to descend from Hermes2.1. It's not designed to target large corporations but still, the attackers demand 10 times more money than your average cybercrime organisations.
Usually, they start with a $145,000 demand, but some companies get a 60 per cent discount, if they can be granted negotiation privileges.
"In a world where cybercriminals are forced to constantly adapt and seek new weaknesses in systems to turn into profits, we have been observing that ransomware is once again on the rise," commented John Fokker, Head of Cyber Investigations at McAfee.
"This is a prospect that is especially worrying given the rise of synergistic threats, where malware is written to include various malicious components with the intention of blurring the vision of the primary objective – just as a smokescreen would. As ransomware threats evolve, our advice for victims is simple: always seek professional advice when you are faced with a targeted ransomware attack such as Ryuk. A wealth of advice can also be accessed via the NoMoreRansom initiative's website."

Gail Simone And Travelers Insurance Partner For Distracted Driving Comic
BY Salomé Gonstad January 5, 2021March 15, 2021
Gail Simone has written a number of important comic books. However, few have as important an inspiration as one she announced last year. As she detailed in a Twitter thread, Gail Simone and Travelers Insurance came together to produce the "Unfinished Story" of Zaadii Tso, aka Z-Hawk.
Gail Simone And Travelers Insurance Comic About Distracted Driving
In 2015, Zaaditozhon "Zaadii" Tso was on a shopping errand with his mom Rachel and his 8-year-old sister Bahozhoni. As the trio were walking back to the car, a distracted driver hit them. The accident caused serious injuries to Rachel and Bahozhoni. However, 3-year-old Zaadii was pulled under the wheels. Paramedics rushed him to the pediatric ICU, where the boy later died.
But that's just part of Zaadii's story. It's not the beginning or the middle, wherein a spirited little boy loves to play superhero. And for his family, Gail Simone (who wrote what we thought was the Best Run Ever Batgirl), and Travelers Insurance, it's not the end. Through their "Unfinished Story" series, the insurance company aims to tell the story of people whose lives were cut short by distracted driving. These people had more life to live and so much they could have done. Through the Travelers partnership with artists like Simone, the company brings those lost stories to life. The overall purpose of the videos and art, besides memorializing those taken, is to warn against the dangers of distracted driving.
In The Infinite, Zaadii Becomes Z-Hawk: Superhero By Night, Environmental Lawyer By Day
Every superhero needs an origin story (image via Travelers Insurance)
With input from Zaadii's family, Travelers "decided to tell a Zaadii story, his Unfinished Story, in the format he loved so much…a superhero story," as Simone put it. The company then approached Simone, who agreed to write the story after talking with Rachel. As Simone says in her Twitter thread, she got a sense of the boy. She felt as if she almost knew him. Or at least, knew him enough to write his story. (Jim Calafiore drew the art, by the way, for the comic.)
So in an infinite future, little Zaadii grows up to be a hero in more ways than one. The little boy who loved superheroes, like Batman, becomes one. But he didn't just love superheroes. He loved animals and the natural world, so in this imagined future, he's an environmental lawyer. He never stops fighting for his people or for what's right. It's not the future Zaadii got, but it's one he deserved.
You can read the entire Zaadii: The Legend of Z-Hawk comic for free at the Travelers site. You can also visit the site for the Zaadii Foundation and take the pledge to end distracted driving.

Similarly, the main comic female part, the Dame, is usually played by a male in a parody of 'femininity'. The original reason for this is said to be that given that messier elements of the Pantomime tradition (see Slapstick below), it was unseemly for females to be involved, However, in these days of equality, whilst tradition may still have the Dame as a male, females may take on other comedic roles such as the Ugly Sisters, and get in on the fun.

Following the Bluebirds' successful tour of Devon and Cornwall, City are spending the week training at Champneys, Leicestershire, facing Burton Albion away on Saturday.
Wednesday's fixture with the Millers sees Neil Warnock face his former side for the first time since February 2017 - when the Bluebirds ran out 5-0 winners in the Welsh capital.
For those wishing to attend, find full ticketing information here.
Founded in 1925, Rotherham United compete at AESSEAL New York Stadium, which has a capacity of just over 12,000. They moved in to their new ground in 2012 - via a brief spell at the Don Valley Stadium - having previously called Millmoor home since their foundation.
Paul Warne's side were promoted to the Sky Bet Championship for the 2018/19 season, following a 2-1 extra-time Play-Off Final victory over Shrewsbury Town. The South Yorkshire club took a fourth-place finish in Sky Bet League One before entering the Play-Offs – 19 points behind champions, Wigan Athletic.
At the End of Season Awards Night, Will Vaulks scooped Player of the Year and Players' Player of the Year. The defensive midfielder also achieved Community Player of the Year for his work with the club's Community Sports Trust and beyond.
Right-back, Josh Emmanuel won Young Player of the Year and loanee, Richie Towell took Goal of the Season for his strike against Northampton Town.
Rotherham United have completed five pre-season friendlies this campaign – all away from home. The Millers defeated Parkgate 3-1 on Saturday 7th July, before travelling to Lindabrunn, Austria for a training camp and two fixtures.
Warne's men took a 0-0 draw at Amstetten on Tuesday 10th July before getting back to winning ways, four days later with a 1-0 victory over Wiener Neustadt.
On Tuesday, 17th July, the South Yorkshire side extended their run of victories to three games with a 4-1 win at Stocksbridge Park Steels and 3-0 triumph against Sheffield FC.
After Wednesday's match, our hosts will play one final friendly fixture against Mansfield Town at Field Mill, before their competitive season begins on Saturday, 4th August away to Brentford.
City hosted Rotherham United at Cardiff City Stadium on Saturday 18th February 2017 and came away 5-0 victors. Goals from Kadeem Harris and Junior Hoilett put the Bluebirds 2-0 up at half-time, before a Craig Noone volley and Kenneth Zohore brace completed the rout.
Harris broke the deadlock with a curling effort after 11 minutes. The winger gathered possession inside the area, took a touch and curled the ball into the bottom-right corner.
As half-time loomed, Hoilett then doubled City's lead. The Canadian international intercepted a poor back-pass before slotting past the onrushing Richard O'Donnell.
After the interval, it took just four minutes for Noone to add a third. Harris' floated cross found winger who improvised a superb scissor kick at the far post to convert.
Zohore soon added an excellent brace to complete the scoring - driving the ball home from a tight angle, before rounding things off with an exquisite lobbed effort.

AlphaBay Dark Web marketplace hacked, private messages leaked
Over 200,000 messages were compromised due to a security flaw.
One of the largest trading posts on the Dark Web, AlphaBay, has rewarded a researcher for disclosing the existence of a vulnerability which allowed him to steal over 200,000 private messages exchanged between users and sellers.
Earlier this week, the hacker, known only as Cipher0007, disclosed the existence of two "high-risk" bugs through Reddit. In a forum post, the hacker said the two security flaws could be exploited to snatch private messages.
Cipher0007 was able to compromise AlphaBay and steal the first and last names of buyers and sellers, nicknames, addresses, and the tracking IDs of packages sent by traders when included in the messages and not protected by PGP keys.
The hacker also issued a number of screenshots of private messages as proof, which revealed the messages were not encrypted by default.
After disclosing the vulnerabilities on Reddit, Cipher0007 opened a number of support tickets on AlphaBay, warning the Dark Web trading post of the potentially devastating bugs which could compromise the privacy and identities of users.
In a statement on PasteBin, AlphaBay confirmed the validity of the vulnerabilities and said the bugs allowed the hacker to slurp a total of 218,000 messages which were not older than 30 days. Older messages are automatically purged from the system.
The attacker was paid for disclosing the flaws rather than selling them on or releasing the stolen information to the public. In return, Cipher0007 revealed his methods and several hours later AlphaBay developers were able to close the loopholes.
As Dark Web marketplaces must provide strong assurances that users will remain anonymous due to the nature of goods sold there, often illegally, these kinds of vulnerabilities have the potential to destroy such businesses.
Alternatively, these security flaws would be of interest to law enforcement agencies attempting to close down such operations — and may have been known to them before the hacker discovered the bugs.
Unless users indulging in risky, illegal trading take responsibility for their own privacy by using PGP keys and personal encryption, they cannot cry foul if their personal information is leaked.

«Κίτρινη κάρτα» στην Ελλάδα από το Συμβούλιο της Ευρώπης, για παραβίαση Ανθρωπίνων Δικαιωμάτων
Του Σταύρου Κυριαζή
Βρε τι πάθαμε! Μας βρήκαν «μπόσικους» στα οικονομικά οι Ευρωπαίοι εταίροι μας και αποφάσισαν τώρα να μας τραβήξουν το αυτί και για παραβίαση των κανόνων της Ευρωπαϊκής Συνθήκης Ανθρωπίνων Δικαιωμάτων;
Και τι δεν περιλαμβάνεται στην απόφαση!
Επικαλούνται ζητήματα καταπίεσης της θρησκευτικής μειονότητας της Θράκης!
Ζητούν την αναγνώριση της ελευθερίας αυτοπροσδιορισμού, όσον αφορά...
στην εθνικότητα!
Επίσης, ζητούν μια σειρά μεταρρυθμίσεων στη θρησκευτική και εκπαιδευτική πολιτική, όπως π.χ. μαθήματα και στην Τουρκική γλώσσα, στην Ειδική Παιδαγωγική Ακαδημία Θεσσαλονίκης (ΕΠΑΘ) (http://www.epath.edu.gr/ ).
Μέχρι και κάτι για «βακούφια» πήρε το μάτι μου!
Απ' ότι φαίνεται έχει υπάρξει μεγάλη σχετική προετοιμασία, όπως: 1) με έγγραφα (εδώ) που υπεβλήθησαν προς και από διεθνείς οργανισμούς (όπως ο ΟΑΣΕ), 2) επιστολές στελεχών της Ακαδημίας προς το Human Rights Council του ΟΗΕ (εδώ) 3) διοργάνωση συνεδρίων (εδώ), όπου μάλιστα συμμετείχαν «λαμπρά» ονόματα και με μεγάλο «ειδικό βάρος» ακόμη και σήμερα, 4) διδακτορικές διατριβές στο Πανεπιστήμιο του Kent (εδώ) ή στο LSE (εδώ) και μάλιστα από Έλληνες επιστήμονες !!!
Βέβαια, αντίστοιχα πράγματα ζητούνται και από την άλλη πλευρά (τους Τούρκους)!
Μα –θα μου πείτε– πρόκειται για αμοιβαίες παραχωρήσεις, στα πλαίσια των διεθνών σχέσεων! Έτσι τουλάχιστον, λέγονται στη γλώσσα των διπλωματών…
Ναι, αλλά είσαστε βέβαιοι, ότι στην απόφαση αυτή …τηρούνται πράγματι οι αναλογίες;
Καταπιέζονται αλήθεια, άτομα στη Θράκη του σήμερα;
Εγώ έχω επισκεφθεί την περιοχή 10 φορές τα τελευταία χρόνια και δεν είδα ούτε άκουσα ποτέ κάτι τέτοιο!
Άς μας το πούν λοιπόν, όσοι γνωρίζουν καλά το ζήτημα!!!
Θέμα δημοσίευσης: Re: «Κίτρινη κάρτα» στην Ελλάδαγια παραβίαση Ανθρωπίνων Δικαιωμά
Και εδώ το πλήρες κείμενο της απόφασης του Συμβουλίου της Ευρώπης.
Η διαβάστε τα και τα δύο στη συνέχεια…
Greece and Turkey should treat all their religious minorities according to European standards, says PACE (Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe)
Strasbourg, 27.01.2010 – Both Greece and Turkey should treat all their citizens who are members of religious minorities according to the standards of the European Convention on Human Rights – rather than invoking "reciprocity" under the 1923 Treaty of Lausanne as a basis for refusing to implement some rights.
Approving a report today on "Freedom of religion and other human rights for non-Muslim minorities in Turkey and for the Muslim minority in Thrace (Eastern Greece)", the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) acknowledged the question was "emotionally very highly charged".
But it said the two countries should "treat all their citizens without discrimination, without taking into account the way in which the neighbouring state might treat its own citizens".
In a resolution, the Assembly said the recurrent invoking by Greece and Turkey of the principle of reciprocity as a basis for refusing to implement the rights guaranteed to the minorities concerned by the Treaty of Lausanne was "anachronistic" and could jeopardise each country's national cohesion.
However, it also welcomed "a degree of new awareness by the authorities of both countries, which have demonstrated their commitment to finding appropriate responses to the difficulties facing the members of these minorities".
The parliamentarians urged both governments to recognise the "freedom of ethnic self-identification" and to make a series of changes in minority, education and religious policy. They were also asked to report back to the Assembly on progress made within a year.
Provisional edition
Freedom of religion and other human rights for non-Muslim minorities in Turkey and for the Muslim minority in Thrace (Eastern Greece)
Resolution 1704 (2010)1
1. The Council of Europe aims to promote mutual tolerance in order to contribute to the peaceful coexistence of religions. The Council of Europe has already emphasised that religious beliefs and traditions constitute an entire dimension of culture, and has recognised that knowledge of religions plays an important role in mutual understanding and respect.
2. Intercultural dialogue, in its inter-faith dimension as well, is a means of making the diversity of European cultures into a source of mutual enrichment. As was recently pointed out by the Council of Europe Commissioner for Human Rights, "The existence in [a country] of minority groups, be they 'national', 'religious' or 'linguistic', should be considered as a major factor, not of division, but of enrichment for society.".
3. Pluralism, tolerance and a spirit of openness are the cornerstones of cultural and religious diversity. They need to be accompanied by proactive measures, particularly by the governments and civil society of member states.
4. The Parliamentary Assembly is aware that – heavily influenced by History – the question of the religious minorities in Greece and in Turkey is emotionally very highly charged. It notes that the tenor of bilateral relations between Greece and Turkey during the 20th century largely determined the treatment of their respective minorities.
5. The Assembly emphasises that the members of the religious minorities concerned are in both cases citizens of the countries in which they live. For historical reasons, the principle of reciprocity is regularly invoked on both sides. While the "kin states", Greece and Turkey, may consider that they have responsibilities towards the members of the religious minorities in the neighbouring country, it is actually first and foremost the countries where the minorities live which are responsible for their own citizens, including the members of the respective religious minorities.
6. The Assembly emphasises that the European Court of Human Rights has asserted, in the case of Apostolidi and others v. Turkey, that the Convention transcends the framework of mere reciprocity between the contracting States.
7. Nevertheless, basing themselves on Article 45 of the Treaty of Lausanne, and referring to "reciprocity" while interpreting it in negative terms, Greece and Turkey alike have sometimes called into question several of the rights of their citizens who are members of the minorities protected by this Treaty.
8. The Assembly considers that the recurrent invoking by these two states of the principle of reciprocity as a basis for refusing to implement the rights guaranteed to the minorities concerned by the Treaty of Lausanne is anachronistic and could jeopardise each country's national cohesion in these early years of the 21st century.
9. The Assembly invites Greece and Turkey to treat all their citizens without discrimination, without taking into account the way in which the neighbouring state might treat its own citizens. It also calls on them fully to implement the general principles relating to the rights of national minorities developed in the case-law of the European Court of Human Rights, which apply irrespective of the ratification or not of the Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities (ETS No. 157) and the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages (ETS No. 148).
10. Generally speaking, the Assembly fully shares the position of the Commissioner for Human Rights, according to which "freedom of ethnic self-identification is a major principle in which democratic pluralistic societies should be grounded and should be effectively applied to all minority groups, be they national, religious or linguistic", and the expression of which must be consistent with national unity.
11. The Assembly shares the Commissioner's concern that the diversity and existence of minority groups should be able to be expressed.
12. The Assembly notes that Greece and Turkey alike have recently shown greater understanding of the specific characteristics inherent to the minorities which are the subject of this resolution. The Assembly welcomes a degree of new awareness by the authorities of both countries, which have demonstrated their commitment to finding appropriate responses to the difficulties facing the members of these minorities.
13. Steps have been taken on both sides of the border to improve these minorities' situation. The Assembly also welcomes recent events, including the historic visit to Turkey by the Greek Prime Minister, in January 2008, and his meeting with his Turkish counterpart, an expression of a constructive approach and of mutual respect.
14. However, some questions remain unresolved and require the two states to continue their efforts, efforts which cannot succeed without open and constructive dialogue with the members of the minorities concerned.
15. The Assembly encourages both countries' authorities to do everything to alter people's perception of members of these minorities, who are sometimes regarded as foreigners in their own country. It is vitally important that both the members of the majority and the members of the minorities understand and feel that the latter are full citizens of their country of residence.
16. The Assembly also encourages the two countries to sign and/or ratify the Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities. Ratification of the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages would also indicate an understanding and acceptance of specific cultural characteristics.
17. Greece and Turkey must also realise the crucial importance of the education of the members of minorities. The governments must ensure that the level of teaching in the minority schools is of high quality and enables the children from minorities to fully integrate into the national community, while preserving their cultural identity.
18. Specifically concerning Greece, the Assembly urges the Greek authorities to:
18.1. provide appropriate support to minority schools so that they are in a position to provide high-quality teaching, in particular through the – long-awaited – issuing of certain school books for minority schools which were updated in 1997 in the framework of a European Union-financed project, and by considering the possibility of creating new minority upper secondary schools;
18.2. guarantee that the Special Teacher Training Academy of Thessaloniki (EPATH) provides high-quality education in both the Greek and Turkish languages, so as to provide appropriate training for future teachers who will work in the schools of the Muslim minority in Thrace;
18.3. provide lasting support – including funding – for initiatives geared to better understanding between the members of the Muslim minority and the majority, and to better learning of the Greek language by the members of that minority, particularly for the "Education of Muslim children" programme, education being a factor of integration and understanding;
18.4. fully implement Law No. 3647 of February 2008, the provisions of which should be able to regulate, in substantial measure, the problems – waiting to be dealt with for several decades – connected with the legal status of vafks (foundations of the Muslim minority);
18.5. allow the Muslim minority to choose freely its muftis as mere religious leaders (i.e. without judicial powers), through election or appointment, and thus to abolish the application of sharia law – which raises serious questions of compatibility with the European Convention on Human Rights – as recommended by the Commissioner for Human Rights;
18.6. ensure that no attempts are made to impose an identity on a person or a group of persons, even by representatives of other groups within the minority concerned, in keeping with the spirit of Article 3 of the Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities;
18.7. pursue development of the economy and infrastructure of Thrace, for instance by investigating the possibility of making use of European Union programmes, to create rural development zones or free-trade zones in this region;
18.8. resolve as soon as possible the cases of the persons still affected by the withdrawal of their Greek nationality in pursuance of Article 19 of the Nationality Code (an article now repealed), including the persons who became stateless in application of the said article although they no longer live in Greece;
18.9. fully implement the judgments of the European Court of Human Rights concerning freedom of religion and of association, inter alia relating to the titles of associations, and to allow associations to use the adjective "Turkish" in their name if they so wish;
18.10. implement fully and speedily the 2008 legislation providing for quota-based admission to the civil service for members of the Muslim minority;
18.11. encourage development by the media of a code of ethics on respect for religious minorities, bearing in mind the vital role that they can play in the perception of these minorities by the majority, and to penalise any incitements to hatred passed on by the media, in accordance with the principles set out in Recommendation No. R (97) 20 of the Committee of Ministers to member states on hate speech;
18.12. organise a national campaign against racism and intolerance, stressing that diversity is to be regarded not as a threat but as a source of enrichment.
19. Specifically concerning Turkey, the Assembly urges the Turkish authorities to:
19.1. come up with constructive solutions concerning the training of religious minorities' clergy and the granting of work permits for foreign members of the clergy;
19.2. recognise the legal personality of the Ecumenical Orthodox Patriarchate in Istanbul, the Armenian Patriarchate of Istanbul, the Armenian Catholic Archbishopric of Istanbul, the Bulgarian Orthodox Community within the structures of the Ecumenical Orthodox Patriarchate, the Chief Rabbinate, and the Vicariate Apostolic of Istanbul; the absence of legal personality which affects all the communities concerned having direct effects in terms of ownership rights and property management;
19.3. find an agreed solution with the representatives of the minority with a view to the reopening of the Heybeliada Greek Orthodox theological college (the Halki seminary), inter alia by making official in writing the proposal to reopen the seminary as a department of the Faculty of Theology of Galatasaray University, in order to open genuine negotiations on this proposal;
19.4. give the Ecumenical Orthodox Patriarchate in Istanbul the freedom to choose to use the adjective "ecumenical";
19.5. resolve the question of the registration of places of worship and the question of the mazbut properties confiscated since 1974, which must be returned to their owners or to the entitled persons or, where the return of the assets is impossible, to provide for fair compensation;
19.6. ensure that the Orthodox Syriac monastery of Mor Gabriel, one of the oldest Christian monasteries in the world, founded in 397 AD, is not deprived of its lands, and that it is protected in its entirety. The Assembly expresses equal concern about the current status of the unlawful appropriation of significant amounts of land historically and legally belonging to a multitude of other ancient Syriac monasteries, churches and proprietors in south-east Turkey;
19.7. recognise, promote and protect the Syriac people as a minority, which is indigenous to south-east Turkey, in conformity with the Lausanne Treaty and related international conventions which guarantee their fundamental human rights and dignity; this shall include, but shall not be limited to, officially developing their education and carrying out religious services in their Aramaic native language;
19.8. take practical measures to make possible for members of national minorities admission to police forces, the army, the judiciary and the administration;
19.9. firmly condemn all violence against members of religious minorities (whether they are Turkish citizens or not), and conduct effective investigations and promptly prosecute persons responsible for violence or threats against members of religious minorities, particularly in respect of the murders of an Italian Catholic priest in 2006 and three Protestants in Malatya in April 2007;
19.10. complete the legal proceedings concerning the murder of Hrant Dink in 2007. The Assembly particularly invites the Turkish Parliament to follow up without delay the report of its sub-committee responsible for investigating the murder of Hrant Dink, a report which has highlighted errors and negligence on the part of the security forces and the national police, without which this murder could have been prevented;
19.11. ensure that the circular on the freedom of religion of non-Muslim Turkish citizens, issued by the Ministry of the Interior on 19 June 2007, is implemented, and to evaluate its impact;

Chelsea have completed their second and final deal of transfer deadline day, with defender Michael Hector signing a five-year contract after joining from Reading. The 23 year old will immediately return to Berkshire for the rest of the 2015/16 season, however.
Hector, a boyhood Blues supporter, joins fellow centre-back Papy Djilobodji at Stamford Bridge in a move reported by The Guardian to be worth in the region of £4m ($6.1m). Various add-ons and a generous sell-on clause may also be expected given that he only extended his contract with the Royals by three years back in June.
In an official statement, the defending Premier League champions announced: "Chelsea Football Club have today completed the signing of Michael Hector from Reading. The 23-year-old centre-back, who has signed a five-year contract, will return to Reading and spend the remainder of this season on loan at the Madejski Stadium."
A graduate of Reading's impressive youth academy, Hector was dispatched for 11 separate loan spells at the likes of Shrewsbury, Cheltenham and Aberdeen before establishing himself as a first-team regular. He made 60 appearances in all competitions for the club and was arguably their most consistent performer during a difficult 2014/15 campaign that culminated in an impressive performance during the FA Cup semi-final defeat to Arsenal at Wembley.
Although born in England, Hector qualifies to play for Jamaica and he appeared alongside teammate Garath McCleary for the Reggae Boyz during both the Copa America and Gold Cup tournaments this summer. He started for Reading on the opening day of the new Championship season away to Birmingham City but has since had to make do with a seat on the substitutes' bench thanks to the hugely impressive form of Paul McShane and Anton Ferdinand.
"Obviously this is a great move for Michael, to be joining such a big club," director of football Nick Hammond said. "It is also, of course, a great advertisement for our academy that Chelsea have come to us for one of our top young players.
"This move represents a great achievement for Eamonn Dolan and his team, as well as our recruitment department, as it was Steve Shorey, who has been with us such a long time, that identified Michael as a young player in East London. This transfer adds to the prestige of our Academy, and there is so much to be proud of in our youth set-up. We very much appreciate the manner in which Chelsea have dealt with this transfer, and of course it is great to have Michael back for the rest of this season."
Vice-captain Hector sported the armband for Reading during their recent Capital One Cup second-round victory over Portsmouth, although he was relegated back to the bench for the club's subsequent 3-1 win at Brentford. Steve Clarke's side, who loaned Lucas Piazon from Chelsea earlier this week and were only denied a similar deal for Nathaniel Chalobah due to a late offer from Napoli, host third-place Ipswich in front of the television cameras on 11 September.

BC Marine Trails is a non-profit organization working together to help secure long term public access to the BC Coast.
Our mission is to work with First Nations and stakeholders to build, protect and promote a public network of marine trails allowing safe recreational navigation of the BC Coastline with minimal impact on the environment.
The BC Marine Trails work is guided by a three-pillar-approach:
Our Trails Development work enables recreationists to navigate the coast safely and respectfully. We do everything from site assessments and safety mandates to gaining social license over coastal access points. We also install things like tent platforms, food caches and composting toilets. All of this is necessary to keep sites sustainable and is made possible through donations, membership fees and the help of our dedicated volunteers.
First Nations Engagement
As we establish a marine trail network, respectful engagement is a way to give back in the process of reconciliation. We address current issues and provide consistent engagement, which enables dialogue. Information about marine trail sites is shared and respectfully discussed. Where possible, agreements are made, permitting access to sites within a traditional territory, while guiding the public away from sensitive spiritual and heritage sites.
We value the incredibly diverse environment of the BC Coast and are committed to help protect and preserve it. Our initiatives include shoreline cleanups, invasive species removals, site maintenance and more. We established a marine Code of Conduct, which encourages recreationists to have minimal impact on the environment. Part of our public education program is to raise awareness of our collective role and responsibility as marine stewards.
At the core of everything we do is a shared love for our coast. The unparalleled scenery of the ocean and temperate rainforests of British Columbia give us a sense of identity. Traversing the shorelines under our own power, riding well, pushing through fog and basking in sunlight is life-changing, as it envelopes us in a deep sense of BC's rich coastal beauty. Exploring the big, bold and beautiful coast makes us realize our insignificance and importance all at once.
As users of these lands and waters, we are accountable to protect and preserve sensitive ecosystems, wildlife and habitat by minimizing our environmental impact through education and stewardship. With rising pressure from industrial and other interests in coastal use, the need to secure public access increases. We also understand and recognize that we largely operate and recreate in unceded traditional territories of coastal First Nations without agreements. It is our responsibility to honour and acknowledge whose lands we are on and to gain social license.
We are all connected by a shared love for these wild places and together we can do our part in ensuring many more generations get to experience the abundance of our coast.

Das Große Arktische Schutzgebiet (, Bolschoi Arktitscheski Sapowednik) ist ein Naturreservat (IUCN Ia) auf der Taimyrhalbinsel im Norden Sibiriens. Mit etwa 41.692 km² Fläche ist es derzeit Russlands größter Sapowednik (Schutzgebiet). Ziel ist der Schutz der Tundra, sowie der Fauna und Flora der subarktischen Land- und Küstengebiete.

Das Naturschutzgebiet besteht aus (küstennahen) Landgebieten (etwa ein Viertel der Fläche) der Taimyrhalbinsel im Norden von Sibirien und Seegebieten der zum Nordpolarmeer gehörenden Karasee sowie zahlreichen Inseln.

Geographie und Biodiversität
Etwa 4000 indigene Dolganen und Nganasanen leben im Bolshoi Arkticheskiy Naturreservat, das zum Großen Arktischen Schutzgebiet gehört. Sie gehen dort der traditionellen Fischerei, Jagd und Rentierzucht nach.

Das Schutzgebiet enthält eine vom Menschen noch wenig berührte, große Wildnis. Die Landschaft ist geprägt von Tundra mit Moosen und Flechten und arktische Kälte- und Frostschuttwüsten, welche die Heimat von Eisbär, Rentier, Walross und Beluga sind. Im Sommer brüten in dem Gebiet Millionen von Seevögeln. Bereits 1974, lange vor Gründung des Schutzgebiets, wurde eine Herde Moschusochsen aus Kanada und Alaska erfolgreich angesiedelt, der Bestand wuchs in den 1980er Jahren auf einige hundert Tiere an.

Biogeographische Biome
Das Naturreservat ist ein Cluster aus sieben Regionen, die ihrerseits aus zahlreichen einzelnen geschützten Gebieten bestehen:
 Teile der Taimyrhalbinsel u. a. mit dem Unterlauf des Flusses Taimyra
 Dikson-Insel
 Middendorffbucht
 Nordenskiöld-Archipel
 Sibirjakow-Insel
 zahlreiche Inseln der Karasee
 Fluss Pjassina und Pjassinagolf

"Earle" Bergey was born Earl Kulp Bergey on August 26, 1901 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. His father, Abraham Franklin Bergey, was born in 1861 in PA. His mother, Sarah Rose Ella Kulp, was born in 1865 in PA. His parents married in 1886 and had eight children, William (b.1887), Walter (b.1889), Winfred (b.1891), Bessie (b.1894), Alice (b.1896), Frank (b.1899), Earl (b.1901), and Clara (b.1904). The family lived at 2344 Twelfth Street. The father was the leader of the Philadelphia Municipal Band.
The children all attended public schools in Philadelphia.
In September of 1915 Earl Bergey, age fourteen, began to attend Philadelphia's Northeast High School, where he became interested in a career as a newspaper cartoonist. He contributed drawings to the school publications and yearbooks.
In June of 1918 Earl Bergey completed his junior year at Philadelphia's Northeast High School, after which he left school and entered the work force. His first job was on the art staff of The Philadelphia Ledger.
During the Great War, he was too young to serve in the military. He lived with his mother and two older siblings at 4312 Eighth Street, while his father lived separately at 1115 West Dauphin Street.
From 1921 to 1926, while working as a staff artist at The Philadelphia Ledger, Earl bergey attended night school at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in Philadelphia. He is not listed in the archives of the school's registrar as having been enrolled as a full-time student, nor did he complete any certificate or diploma program at the school.
He continued his work for newspapers and in June of 1927 "E. K. Bergey" replaced Charles J. Coll as the artist on the daily comic strip "Deb Days," which appeared in The Philadelphia Ledger, and also appeared in several other syndicated newspapers nationwide.
On October 31, 1929 the artist's father, Abraham Frank Bergey, died at the age of sixty-eight when struck by a Philadelphia street car. With the father's life insurance the mother bought a home for fifteen thousand dollars at 468 Township Line in Horsham, PA, Montgomery County, where there was enough room for the widow's three youngest children, Frank, Earl, and Clara (Bergey) Beheydt, plus Clara's husband, Frank Beheydt.
During the Great Depression newspaper advertising revenue shrank along with circulation. At that same time the New York City pulp magazine industry was experiencing its most prosperous era, which increased opportunities for pulp illustrators. Bergey's first cover paintings for the pulps were for pin-up magazines, such as Gay Book, Pep, La Paree, Bedtime, Snappy, and Brief Stories. All of these magazines were distributed by Paul Sampliner at Eastern Distributing Company. Sampliner also lent credit to publishers, such as Ned Pines at the Thrilling Group, which produced Captain Future, Exciting Football, Startling Stories, Thrilling Sports, and Thrilling Wonder. All of these pulp soon had covers painted by Earl Bergey, who had begun to sign his work as "Earle Bergey."
On January 26, 1935 Earl Kulp Bergey married Hélène (Hélaine) Marie Bernadette Brochu in the bride's family home in Quebec City, Canada. She was born on February 21, 1913 in Canada, so she was age twenty-one, while the groom was thirty-three. She also had a five-year-old son, Jude (b.1928), from a previous marriage. They newlyweds moved to 2962 Easton Street in Horsham, PA, where they raised three children, Jude (b.1928), Earle (b.1937), and John (b.1939).
On April 19, 1936 Hélène (Hélaine) Marie Bernadette Brochu Bergey's father and mother, Joseph and Eugenie Brochu, both died on the same day at the ages of sixty-eight and sixty-six in Canada.
In 1940 the artist's mother, Sarah Rose Ella Kulp Bergey, died at the age of seventy-five in Horsham, PA.
After his mother's death, the artist used a portion of his inheritance to buy "The Farm Hous" at the intersection of Shewell Avenue and Union Street in Doylestown, PA. It was a special pleasure for the artist to own his home, because for the first time in his life, at age thirty-nine, he was finally able to have a private art studio.
He designed the decorative banner of the Doayapo Club, a social club for the young men of Doylestown. According to The (Pennsylvania) Central News, "The Doayapo Club is a group of twenty-six young men of Doylestown who get together at the Fountain House to eat and talk, and enjoy certain social contacts with a short, snappy live-wire dinner meeting."
Little documentation has been found concerning the artist's military service during World War II. On February 16, 1942 he reported for draft registration. He was listed as 5-foot-eleven, 205 pounds, with brown eyes, grey hair, and a light complexion. At that time he was age forty-one, married, and the father of three sons, so it is not surprising if he was not selected for military service. However, on November 27, 1945, after the war had eneded, a Staff Sergeant in the Army Corps of Engineers, named "Earle Bergey," who was born in 1901 in Pennsylvania, was listed along with thousands of other troops returning from England to America on the Steam Ship Queen Mary.
By 1948 Thrilling Publications began to produce Popular Library paperback books. Many of these covers were assigned to Earle Bergey, who was a friend of the art editor, Churchill Ettinger (1903-1985), who was also an illustrator for the New York Sunday World. In addition, Bergey was also pals with another pulp illustrator from Pennsylvania, Rudy Belarski. From 1948 to 1952 the three artist friends got together for lunch to discuss ideas for paperback book covers, which created the influential look of Popular Library paperbacks. Bergey's most renowned contribution to this genre was "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes" by Anita Loos.
Besides Popular Library, Earle Bergey also illustrated paperback book covers for Avon Books, Lion Books, and Pocket Books.
In 1950 the artist rented a separate studio apartment at 51 Mechanic Street in New Hope, PA, which is ten miles east from his home in Doylestown, PA. The pulp artist Mat Kauten also had an art studio in this quaint artistic town on the Delaware River, famous for its many antique shops.
Earle K. Bergey died of a heart attack at age fifty-one, while undergoing a stress test at his doctor's office in Hew Hope, PA, on September 30, 1952.

Navy Cross Citation for Lt Marv Devries, 3rd Plt Cmdr, for his actions on Mutter's Ridge.: 1stLT Devries, Marvin H. USMC Navy Cross First Lieutenant Marvin H. Devries U.S. Marine Corps Co. E, 2nd Bn., 3rd Marines, 3rd Marine Division Date of Action: August 10, 1969 Citation:
The Navy Cross is awarded to First Lieutenant Marvin H. Devries, United States Marine Corps, for extraordinary heroism while serving as a Platoon Commander with Company E, Second Battalion, Third Marines, Third Marine Division in connection with combat operations against the enemy in the Republic of Vietnam. During the early morning hours of 10 August 1969, while occupying a night defensive position near the Demilitarized Zone in Quang Tri Province, First Lieutenant Devries' platoon came under a ground attack by a North Vietnamese Army company reinforced by sappers utilizing automatic weapons fire, rocket-propelled grenades, and satchel charges. During the initial moments of the assault, the momentum of the enemy movement enabled the hostile soldiers to penetrate a portion of the Marines' defensive perimeter. Reacting instantly to this threat, First Lieutenant Devries ran across the fire-swept terrain to the point of heaviest contact and, shouting directions to the Marines there, skillfully realigned the defensive perimeter in such a way that the North Vietnamese Army soldiers were again outside the friendly lines. Completely disregarding his own safety, First Lieutenant Devries then moved from one Marine position to another to encourage his men and to insure that every possible avenue of enemy approach was adequately covered with firepower. While rushing across the hazardous area to counter a new threat, First Lieutenant Devries was severely wounded by fragments from a rocket-propelled grenade which impacted hear him. Refusing medical attention, he directed a vigorous defense of the perimeter, personally accounting for five enemy casualties. He then moved to a dangerously exposed vantage point and, heedless of the rounds impacting around him, skillfully adjusted supporting Marine artillery fire with such accuracy that the North Vietnamese Army force lost the advantage of its numerical superiority and retreated. His heroic and determined actions over a prolonged period of time were instrumental in minimizing Marine casualties and turning a potential disaster into a resounding victory. By his courage, dynamic leadership, and unwavering devotion to duty in the face of grave personal danger, First Lieutenant Devries upheld the highest traditions of the Marine Corps and of the United States Naval Service.

All gastroenterologists at The Baton Rouge Clinic are board certified in the subspecialty of Gastroenterology. Some conditions that our gastroenterologists treat include colon polyps and cancer, hepatitis, gastroesophageal reflux (heartburn), peptic ulcer disease, colitis, gallbladder and biliary tract disease, nutritional problems, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), and pancreatitis.
Special procedures called endoscopy are performed by our doctors for either diagnostic or screening purposes. Upper endoscopy (often referred to as EGD or gastroscopy) is used to study diseases of the upper GI system, while colonoscopy is limited to the lower bowel and at times the very last portion of the small bowel (the ileum). Frequently, a gastroenterologist is consulted in cases of abdominal pain, rectal bleeding, or change in bowel habits when the diagnosis is unclear or where specialized diagnostic procedures are necessary.
Our gastroenterologists utilize one of the newest breakthroughs in GI technology—a small capsule that, when swallowed, transmits and records images of the small bowel—for diagnoses that would otherwise have been too difficult.
Routine screening is recommended for individuals without a colon cancer history starting at age 50 and then repeated every 10 years, provided that there have been no polyps identified. If you have a history of polyps, then your screening intervals will vary and should be discussed with your doctor.

Minikanren – An embedded DSL for logic programming (minikanren.org)

So this appears to be a language to specify logic systems. This makes it especially odd how unstructured the website appears.
If the language is so simple and uses only 3 or 4 operators, why not just start with a short definition of those operators, and maybe a list of short examples? That would go a long way towards explaining to me as a casual visitor why I should care about this.

So, this project is a web side of a famous (arguably THE most famous) book on relational programming. It's a book that introduces a dialogue for learning the language, how it's implemented, and its principles. The principles of relational programming are the important part. It's not strictly "Incorrect" to say "MiniKanren specifies logical systems" but it doesn't really capture the spirit of relational programming.
The book is linked from the page, and the book itself is well reviewed on average (and gets an excellent rating from me, personally). The first 3 paragraphs explain this and link to a video with more details.
MiniKanren's had some extremely interesting results presented in it, most famously a relational bidirectional interpreter (which can suggest programs that transform input in a specified way). William Byrd (one of the primary authors of the work) still gives an excellent talk on the subject because it's not well known. [0]
I can't help but notice the link to the book, the exhaustive list of papers and talks, links to videos and an invitation schedule. It seems like there was an awful lot of information you just ignored. As a friendly bit of advice, PLT, PLR, and in general the deeper and more modern end of algorithmic work is not going to present a punch, javascript-framework-esque 60 second animation for you.
So if you are going to pursue more on MiniKanren (and I really recommend it, it's amazing stuff) then I strongly recommend you gird yourself for rifling through references and books as a first resort rather than a last.

I disagree with you, but to really understand why you will need to read my book. It may sound like a lot of effort, but I can assure you that my disagreement is as intricate as the celestial orbits, as deep as the darkest ocean, and as as divine as the heavens themselves.
The scholars and holy men have spent years studying why I disagree with you, and they will confirm that, once you too have spent years studying, you will not only disagree with your former self, but understand, with the first true clarity of your adult life, that the sacred knowledge cannot be grasped by the clumsy hands of a dilettante.
"Please, sir", I hear you ask, "can you not spare some crumb of wisdom from the table of your enlightenment? Some small morsel to nourish me on my journey?" I am afraid not. Summaries are nothing but fornications of the mind: easy pleasures to tempt you away from the righteous path of long and laborious study to an uncertain end. The truly wise know that it is better to know nothing than to know a little.
And if, in some fit of insouciance, you begin to think it is not worth your time to engage with the entire depth (as the ocean, recall) of my argument before knowing if it is true, or useful, or relevant to you? Then I can offer nothing but pity. Do you not understand that it is you who must prove yourself worthy of my ideas? You who must justify your relevance to me?
The ego of students these days is astonishing. It's no wonder they never learn anything.
I like to imagine a hypothetical, parallel universe where you spent the same amount of time writing your overwrought post and instead focused on the first paragraph of the simple, accessible webpage that is linked, you'd see a link directly to a series of interactive code samples. An exact summary of "what it's good for" is found in the second paragraph (as noted by others in this thread). Such an investment of time would surely get you below the fold, and see the link to multiple talks and papers. There's a whole section just entitled, "Recorded Talks" with dozens of videos offered by professionals far more qualified to talk on the subject than either you or I as implementors of such software systems laid out in an archival format. Talks by such amazing people as Byrd, Freidman, Stokke or Nolan.
I like to think in that same universe, the poster I responded to also took this time. So that I could have instead spent more time on my OTHER, way more fun and interesting post where I go into a use case. Maybe actually reformatted some source code from the prototype I'm contractually forbidden to share to give a more in-depth look in how one might use these principles (which are, as I suggested, not at all obvious) in industry applications.
I think that alternate universe is one I'd like to live in. Instead, I'm stuck here in this one. A universe where instead of doing more cool posts about the electromechanics of power tools and their restoration, you instead write a prickly little post defending someone's request for a thing that was literally offered in the first paragraph of the source page they asked about. One where I spend time writing this boring post as well.
Truly, we live in the darkest timeline. Probably the darkest part about this timeline is that my post you responded to, devoid of novelty and missing the talk link I was going to copypaste leaving a blank footnote annotation? That's gotten over 3x the positive moderation of my other post where I describe an active use case.
But thanks for your feedback. You're right, I shouldn't post here anymore.

Good answer. Actually a 10-line blurb on the core operations of Minikanren and some output from programs would be pretty useless. It would only serve to confuse the reader because names like "fresh", "conde", "numbero" etc aren't very descriptive (you can argue whether they're good names at all).
Maybe having a little blurb about the meta-circular interpreter might be useful as a way of "exciting" the audience by presenting a cool result.

I think the parent's criticism was constructive. A simpler website could attract more people to dive deep into the topic.
Glibly: Not every subject is amenable to a 20 second summary animation with pictures of rich people on computers in cafes in the background.
More seriously: They explain it, they link to a whole book, and they link to a video with that crazy bidirectional interpreter. What else do you actually think would help? It's very unusual looking Scheme code, it's not going to be readable to the average viewer. I have written Lisp for over a decade and the code was nonsense to me until I read the book.

I made a Swift library, Logician (https://github.com/mdiep/Logician), based on microKanren with the help of these links. I also wrote about how it works with Swift: https://matt.diephouse.com/2016/12/logic-programming-in-swif...
I haven't had the chance to build anything that uses them. But having become familiar, I think there are lots of potential applications. I always thought that Prolog was strange. Logic programming makes a lot more sense as a library IMO.

Minikanren (and core.logic) is very fun to explore. It's such a brain bender and it seems well suited for some PL things. E.g. say you have some custom interpreter. If you implement that interpreter in Minikanren, you can run it backwards and answer the question "what program, if any, evaluates to this result". To generate a quine, you make both the input and the output of the interpreter the same logic var, and have Minikanren solve for it.
On the other hand, I was unable to find a use for it any real world problems (in my case: scheduling and portfolio optimization). I always use a linear constraint solver instead.

Here is mediKanren (from the same authors): https://github.com/webyrd/mediKanren
It's used for automated search through medical databases for drug discovery: https://www.uab.edu/mix/stories/a-high-speed-dr-house-for-me...
Here is the Gerrit code review system: https://www.gerritcodereview.com/
It allows you to specify complex rules for workflows, who may sign off on what patches etc. Those rules are written in Prolog, but I guess they might as well be written in some other logic language.
Here is (or rather, will be) Gigahorse, an Ethereum smart contract decompiler: https://2019.icse-conferences.org/event/icse-2019-technical-...
The abstract doesn't say what "declarative, logic-based specification" is used in the implementation, but I know that two of the authors do a lot of work in Datalog, so it's Datalog.
Sure, I can name one I've prototyped (but never gotten to deploy in prod) in industry.
I proposed an embedded μKanren in an Authorization framework for API endpoints. It relied on a system like JWT (or, preferably something less broken like Macaroons) to provide a series of "auth grants" on the request, auth grants being parameterized lines like:
(= :user-id 16)
(bu.admin-grant (group 10))
(is-super-admin)
A few more like this.
Then, you could use Python annotations on API methods to specify this kind of setup on API endpoints:
(= :group_id request.group-id)
(bu.admin_grant (group :group-id))
The system would then perform a kind of logical unification with the request, the cryptographically validated request token, and the API policy. When a request comes in, the request token is merged a "all is forbidden" default set (which is not a literal hash table, it's a policy annotation for the map that contains them). Thus, it's very easy to create arbitrarily complex security policies and so long as they're logically consistent, the interpreter can tell you so (and if it fails, it can tell you why the request doesn't have access).
What's also interesting was that you could unify the API endpoint annotations with an empty set of grants, and then it'd produce a series of example permissions that would be valid (or you could merge it with a user's invalid grants, and it could tell you what access they need to go through). This worked well for internal documentation and I had hoped that it'd be applicable to internal tooling to explain to an operator of a tool what access they needed to go request to use the tool (and even where to do it).
If you're curious, for most requests the time complexity and memory costs were very modest (approaching but not passing 1ms in the worst case I saw, which for API endpoints written in Python is usually dwarfed by garbage like JSON serialization).

IMO it sits at quite a higher level of programming. You use logic programming to explore ~infinite program states; all that in extremely concise (near fully declarative of course) ways.
In Bratko's prolog book you quickly get to do graph processing, some algorithms are 4 clauses and almost word for word what you have in mind. It's mind boggling to me.
You also have bidirectional reasoning, you don't have to write a function A => B and then another one for B => A. It's even more telling with multivariate functions. I knew a guy who needed something similar for a large application. He needed a way to reason backward with incomplete parameters.

"Logic programming" is a misnomer. It's really a kind of parallel reality database query language.
It's not used much because relational databases and SQL won in the end.
(I guess back in the day people imagined computers as knowledge graphs and logical predicates on them, not tabular data and joins.)

why a misnomer? its exactly what programming would look like if you wanted to try to implement computing as predicate calculus.

I would look at uKanren, the smallest mini-kanren cousin. I like Bodil Stokke's [1] introduction, but if you are not afraid of lisp, you can read/re-implement the original(?) [2] paper :)
It is basically bunch of combinators for depth-first search? So if you think "I kinda want to brute-force solution for these hard-coded constraints", you might instead want to create a simple logic-programming environment first :-)
Last time I played with these, I used it for implementing a toy cryptograhic protocol verification system for a term project. It have barely worked :D
A.f.a.i.k. type-checkers often use some sort of logic programming at their core.

It is useful for problems where the solution is difficult to find -- any kind of problem with many constraints which conflict, and maybe an optimisation condition. Such problems are very difficult from most programming, when it tends to be way to find what you want (although of course you can always optimise it further).
weberc2 7 months ago
This sounds like a layout engine for a GUI toolkit. If you have a bunch of widgets with optional min and max widths and other constraints and you put them all in the same row, the layout engine needs to compute the real size of each widget (also constrained by the width of the parent widget, which is also dynamic and resolved by the layout engine save for the top level window widget) so it can be rendered.
You can use standard constraint solvers for these kinds of problems. Although, you can use minikanren in such an application, you are missing out on a lot of its power if you do that.
An example where such systems shine is program generation, theorem proving, knowledge databases, program verification and other applications where the search space is huge but the rules are relatively simple.
Ok, thanks for answering. I guess what I'm really looking for are some practical use cases that can serve as an example, otherwise it will never cross my mind to use logic programming when I need to decide on technologies.

Basically -- anything that you'd use SQL for. SQL is probably the most widely-used logic programming language.
SQL does way less things than a full-blown logic programming system
With common table expressions and windowing, SQL is Turing complete.
yorwba 7 months ago
Languages of all kinds of paradigms are Turing complete. But we still use different languages for different purposes, because some programs are more convenient to write in a certain paradigm that maps well to their problem domain.
In Prolog for example, you can easily define concatenation of cons-lists as
concatenate(nil, Ys, Ys).
concatenate(cons(X, Xs), Ys, cons(X, Zs)) :- concatenate(Xs, Ys, Zs).
and then generate all 4 possible solutions for the query concatenate(X, Y, cons(1, cons(2, cons(3, nil)))).
Of course Prolog has built-in lists that'd allow simply writing append(X, Y, [1, 2, 3]), but the ease of defining certain simple algorithms and then running them backwards is what makes logic programming so useful in my opinion.
If SQL can express an equivalent program equally succinctly, I'd very much like to see how.
So is LaTeX...but people aren't implementing logic programs in it.
The argument is that minikanren does more than SQL. I strongly disagree.
Care to elaborate? Genuinely curious.

I took a class with Daniel Friedman, the creator of Minikanren and author of The [Little|Seasoned|Reasoned] Schemer. One of the homework assignments was to write a typechecker for the simply-typed lambda calculus in minikanren.
(Most of the semester, we were writing interpreters for the lambda calculus, and doing things like rewriting the interpreter in continuation-passing-style (so that every recursive call was a tail call).)

Time to take control when it comes to dining on a Carnival cruise. Here are 3 dining tips to help you out including food and drink.
With eating such a big part of cruising, how can you avoid packing on the pounds at sea and not overeat on a cruise? Why does it even matter if you might eat a bit too much during your cruise vacation?


One of the most important things you will need to do as you prepare to launch and start marketing your new business is to create a great brand logo.
This logo needs to encompass what your brand is about, catch people's attention, and help you put your best foot forward to successfully get your business off the ground.
These tips can help you through each stage of the process, from brainstorming ideas to using your new logo in marketing campaigns.
Think of a few easily recognizable symbols, shapes, or images that you would like to associate with your brand name.
For example, Nike has its swoosh, YouTube has the TV-shaped box around the word "tube" and Gmail uses the envelope within the letter M. Don't copy another brand, but consider whether you have any images that are closely tied with your brand and that you'd like to include in your logo to communicate what you are about.
Type your brand name into a word processing program and try it out in lots of different fonts. You want a font that's easy to read at a glance and that communicates the feel of your brand. If you find one you like that isn't quite right, look online for a font to purchase that's similar.
You can also consider hiring a designer to create a custom font for your logo so you get the exact look you're going for. In fact, creating a custom font may be necessary if you're including a special symbol within your brand name and need the whole thing to flow together.
Put together your font and your symbol, shape, or image to create a logo. In this stage, your goal is to leave the visual impact crisp and uncluttered, but to also communicate what your brand is about. Once you have the logo put together, try it out in different color schemes.
You want the logo to make sense in black and white, but you should also add at least one other color for when you're printing it in color. Try to not use more than two colors unless they are absolutely essential for the concept of your brand and logo.
Include your logo on all of your brand's marketing and communications to ensure that customers see it regularly and associate it with your brand. In addition to putting it on usual places like your letterhead, business cards, and in the top corner of your website, print it on custom signs to put in your storefront if you have one.
Customers should be able to easily recognize and identify your logo, and the more they see it, the more easily they will remember it when they need to buy the type of product or service you sell.
Although it may seem like tedious work, your brand logo is an important part of your small business foundation, and it deserves your time and attention. Getting your logo right the first time around is critical because then you won't have to worry about rebranding and reprinting later.
Although some companies shift their logos occasionally, when you're just starting out as a small business, it's important to have a consistent brand image to keep the customer base you've built.

Q: Managing the style in the Atlas in QGIS Is there a setting in Atlas to manage the style of the printed item?
I use Atlas in a network, each item is in the center of the image, but there are many items near this one and I need to highlight only this one.
I have to use a variable scale.
I use QGIS.

A: You have to use a rule-based symbology using a test to check whether the current feature is the atlas feature or not :
Rule 1 : Test - $id=$atlasfeatureid
Define and Apply the style for atlas feature
Rule 2 : Test - $id<>$atlasfeatureid
Define and apply the style for 'other' features
You're able to add some transparency to the non-atlas features to make the atlas feature pop up a bit more (for example)
Look in the previous questions this has been asked very often.

McGowan Government's rental phase-in to help WA pastoralists
New pastoral rents will come into effect on July 1, 2019
Lands Minister Ben Wyatt has announced that the McGowan Government will provide assistance to the pastoral industry by phasing in new rents for Western Australian pastoral leases over the next three years.
Western Australia's pastoral rents are independently determined every five years by the Valuer-General in accordance with the Land Administration Act 1997. Rent determinations are based on current land values and the economic state of the pastoral industry.
The Valuer-General has determined that most pastoralists in the State's north will incur a rent increase while pastoralists in other areas of the State will experience moderate or no increase, and in some cases a rent reduction.
In order to assist pastoralists and ease the pressure of any increases, the McGowan Government will ensure that rent increases will be staged in over a three-year period to allow pastoralists to take account of the rent increase in their forward financial planning. Increases will be capped at 20 per cent in 2019-20 and 2020-21, with the balance applied in 2021-22.
For more information visit the Pastoral Lands Board page.
Read the full media statement.


The experiment was conducted at Department of Floriculture and Landscape Architecture, Kittur Rani Channamma College of Horticulture, Arabhavi during the year 2015-16. Eight genotypes namely Shringar, Prajwal, Suvasini, Pearl Double, Calcutta Single, Mexican Single, Vaibhav and Arka Nirantara were used for the evaluation study. All the genotypes registered significant effect on yield and quality parameters. However, spike yield per hectare (2.97 lakhs), spike length (103.27 cm), flower yield per hectare (19.97 t), number of bulbs per plant (9.61), maximum corolla length (3.06 cm), vase life (9.02 days) and shelf life (6.26 days) were recorded maximum in genotype Prajwal. Rachis length (34.27 cm) and weight of 100 flowers (216.30 g) were recorded maximum in the genotype Vaibhav. Flower diameter (6.04 cm), bulb yield per hectare (2.13 t/ha) and overall acceptability was recorded maximum in genotype Suvasini, whereas genotype Shringar produced maximum number florets per spike (47.27). Maximum corolla tube length (4.48 cm) was observed in genotype Mexican Single.

A: The traceback shows that the problem is nothing to do with creating the dictionaries, but in how you send them to the template. The third argument to render must be a dict, where the keys are the name you want to use to refer to that value in the template. So:
return render(request, 'HealthApp/patientIndex.html', {"events": events})

Now you can iterate through events in the template.


Raj enlists Sheldon as his wingman when they attend a university mixer together. When Sheldon and Raj both meet girls at the party, Sheldon's "date" is in for a unique evening as he is oblivious to her advances. Meanwhile, on a double date with Howard and Bernadette, Leonard and Penny argue after he ridicules her belief in psychics.
The title refers to Penny's belief in psychics, which causes turbulence (vortex) in her relationship with Leonard.
Danica McKellar, who guest starred as Abby - the girl Raj met, was previously mentioned on the show in the Season 1 episode "The Bat Jar Conjecture". Raj mentioned getting the girl from The Wonder Years on their Physics Bowl team.
Raj: You can't wear the hands on the date.
Penny: You know, I believe in ghosts, too.
Leonard: I know, and pyramid power and healing crystals.
Penny: Oh, no, no, no, crystals don't work.
Leonard: Really, that's the line? Psychics are real, but crystals are voodoo?
Penny: Oh, Voodoo is real. You don't want to mess with Voodoo.
Leonard: How can I go out with a woman who believes in psychics?
Howard: Hey, I once dated a girl who believed she was abducted by aliens.
Leonard: And that didn't bother you?
Howard: Au contraire. It meant that she was gullible and open to a little probing.
Sheldon: We scored. I'm the wingman.
Leonard and Howard are going on a double date with Penny and Bernadette, leaving Raj alone with Sheldon for the night. Sheldon plans to spend the evening installing a Linux partition, but Raj would prefer to do something more exciting. When Raj suggests a few events he and Sheldon could go to, Sheldon is not interested and instead suggests an imaginary trip to Flatland.
Leonard, Howard, Penny and Bernadette are chatting in the car on the way to the restaurant. When Penny tells them she got career advice from a psychic, Leonard bursts into laughter, offending Penny. Back at the apartment, Raj suggests they go to a university mixer for the science and philosophy departments ("For those who split atoms or infinitives"). Raj offers Sheldon his Green Lantern lantern to be his wingman. Raj and Sheldon arrive at the mixer with Sheldon carrying the lantern.
A woman, Abby, is drawn in by the Green Lantern lantern and comes to talk to the guys. Abby is interested in Raj and introduces her friend Martha for Sheldon. On their double date, Leonard refuses to let the issue of psychics drop, while Howard and Bernadette wisely avoid interfering in their argument. Back in the apartment building, Leonard tries to explain his point of view to Penny, who refuses to listen. Leonard returns to his apartment to find Sheldon, Raj, Abby and Martha playing rock band.
The next day in the cafeteria, Leonard asks Howard how he can be with Penny when she believes in thing he doesn't. Howard explains by way of a Venn diagram that Penny is his only chance for a relationship and he should ignore their differing opinions. Back at the apartment, Sheldon is learning Finnish while he waits for his hard drive to reformat. Raj arrives and wants to go on another double date with Abby and Martha, but needs Sheldon. Sheldon eventually agrees to go when Raj bribes him with his Incredible Hulk hands signed by Stan Lee.
While Penny does laundry, Leonard goes down to explain himself to Penny. Penny isn't interested in reading his book debunking psychics, but does invite him to visit her psychic with him. In the interest of their relationship, Leonard agrees to go. On their second double date, Martha and Sheldon are discussing Flatland, while Abby and Raj make out. When Sheldon announces that it's time for him to go to bed, Martha is surprised that this wasn't an invitation for two. Martha soon knocks on Sheldon's door and asks whether she could hang out in his bedroom for a while. Sheldon agrees and lets her in, and then announces he'll go sleep in Leonard's room.
