REVIEW: The Winner's Crime by Marie Rutkoski
The Winner's Crime by Marie Rutkoski is the sequel to The Winner's Curse which I read last year and loved! There's something incredibly emotional and heart-breaking in the relationship between Arin and Kestrel and I am absolutely desperate to know more and I live in hope that these two star-crossed lovers can find a way to bridge their differences.
The Winner's Crime is the second book in the Winner's trilogy and this review will spoil some of the events of the first book in the trilogy, The Winner's Curse, though will not spoil anything in The Winner's Crime. If you have an interest in reading this trilogy but have not yet started it, I would suggest you stop reading now.
The Winner's Crime follows on pretty quickly after the events of The Winner's Curse. Kestrel has struck a bargain and traded her life for one of balls and celebrations as she is now engaged to the Crown Prince of Valoria and feels very isolated and restricted in things she can say and do. She combats giving away military advice that destroys the East with spying for Herran and Kestrel really walks a dangerous line in this book.
There's also Arin, who is now the governor of Herran and he's under so much pressure to keep his country's freedom and has no idea of the sacrifices Kestrel has made in his honour. Instead he feel bitter and angry about the games he feel that Kestrel is playing.
What I love so much about this trilogy so far is that it has been very surprising in how vicious it is. There are so many twists and turns in the story line. Nobody is safe, anybody could die and most do. I love that Kestrel and Arin are both characters who are good people who do bad things for supposedly the right reasons. I love that that line is crossed on so many different instances. I also love that there are so many complicated relationships. Parents and siblings, friendships, and, of course, this undeniably scorching hot relationship between Kestrel and Arin. Theirs is a relationship that has so many obstacles for them to overcome.
I love Kestrel and Arin incredibly but I also loved the new characters that are introduced in this book and how the story has expanded to included the East and new allies and weaponry and world-building. This book is a real page-turner. It's exciting and addictive and I thought it had a real subtle build-up of angst and heart-break. I finished this book absolutely desperate for the next installment of this story!

Michelle Fluttering Butterflies 12:55 pm, March 12, 2015
YES YOU DO! What an amazing series!
Rosy 2:49 pm, March 10, 2015
Ha, we must be on the same wave length, my review for this went up today too! Great review! I know what you mean about it being very vicious, especailly in comparison to a lot of YA books. I really felt like no one was safe and was terrified everything was about to fall apart throughout!
It was such a great book though. The tension! Oh, the tension. My poor heart almost couldn't take it!


Pedestrian accidents are, unfortunately, common throughout Greater Los Angeles¹. In fact, pedestrians account for almost one-quarter of traffic fatalities in California, according to the California Department of Motor Vehicles². Over 700 people are killed every year in pedestrian traffic accidents and at least 12,000 are hurt, according to the California Highway Patrol (CHP). About one out of every five pedestrian fatalities are seniors.

California leads the nation in pedestrian deaths and the percentage of pedestrian fatalities continues to rise compared to all traffic deaths. According to a recent report, 70% of pedestrian deaths occurred at night and nearly 70% of victims were male, more than a third of victims had blood alcohol levels exceeding the legal limit. Speed often plays a role in pedestrian accidents.
Even at slow speeds, accidents can lead to significant injuries for pedestrians. Victims in pedestrian traffic accidents often sustain serious injuries like fractures, traumatic brain injuries, amputation, spinal cord injuries, and internal organ damage.

The Smarta Tradition
shankara, smarta, vishnu
Adi Shankara (or Shankaracharya), who is reputed to have started the system of worshipping five deities. He is founder of the Advaitin School of Vedanta philosophy (monism), which underpins the widespread notion that all deities are equal.
There is a fourth mainstream Hindu community. For its emphasis on smriti, its followers are known as Smartas. They are traditional, very strict about rules and regulations, and emphasise the universality of Hinduism by distancing themselves from the exclusive worshippers of Vishnu, Shiva or Devi.
They worship five deities – Vishnu, Shiva, Devi, Ganesh, and Surya, as introduced by Shankara. The ten orders of sannyasa(dasanam), founded by Shankara, also follow the same system of panchopasana (five types of worship). Some of these sannyasis(renunciates) tend towards special veneration of Shiva, of whom Shankara is considered an incarnation.
Madhva (or Madhvacharya). There has been some tension between the various denominations and schools of thought, most often between Vaishnavas and Shaivas/Shaktas. There has also been much theological controversy. Discussion and debate is an important and welcomed aspect of Hinduism. Madhvacharya was a Vaishnava theologian and most strongly contested Shankara's monistic doctrine. Madhva propounded that Vishnu is Supreme. Some teachers within the Shaivite and Shakti traditions have also propounded that their respective worshippable lords are the Supreme (God). Smartas consider all deities equal, simply different attributes of an impersonal Supreme.
The Smarta tradition is a relativiely new development in Hinduism. Many Hindus may not strictly identify themselves as Smartas but, by adhering to Advaita Vedanta as a foundation for non-sectarianism, are indirect followers. Nonetheless, other traditions dispute the claim that the notion of an impersonal God is the only basis for non-sectarianism. These controversies over the nature and identity of the Absolute were spearheaded by prominent theologians.

In this audio extract from March 2007, Bobby and Gordon remember the Atlantic Fleet (renamed Home Fleet) which anchored off Cromarty for a few weeks each year, in spring and autumn, from the mid 1930s, bringing a significant boost to the local economy.

Gordon: There's a Cromarty man lost in her.
Gordon: One man lost - he was lost in the 'Hood'. There was only three survivors.

This study including over 100 investigators from 20 institutions, substantiates some new findings about determining behavior patterns between metastatic cells and non-metastatic cells. Metastatic cells are softer and can squeeze through smaller spaces. Metastatic cells are heartier and work with less oxygen. They also move slower and farther in a straight line.
A systematic comparison of metastatic breast cancer cells to healthy breast cells revealed dramatic differences between the two cell lines in their mechanics, migration, oxygen response, protein production, and ability to stick to surfaces.
The new study details how cells make the transition from nonmalignant to metastatic, a process that is not well understood.
"By bringing together different types of experimental expertise to systematically compare metastatic and nonmetastatic cells, we have advanced our knowledge of how metastasis occurs," says Robert Austin, professor of physics at Princeton University.
The study also found that metastatic cells recover more rapidly from the stress of a low-oxygen environment than nonmetastatic cells, which is consistent with previous studies. Although the low-oxygen environment did kill many of the metastatic cells, the survivors rebounded vigorously, underscoring the likely role of individual cells in the spread of cancer.

Bob: Hi, James. I have read many of your guna satsangs but it still seems my understanding isn't deep enough. As the self I am beyond gunas but the apparent person is always subject to them, and occasional confusion results from an unidentified guna manifesting itself, and usually it's connected with an object. I could "bypass" the guna teaching as the self and just discriminate self from not-self but somehow this makes it seem as if I'm missing out on an important tool for mind management.
James: You can do both: use it to discriminate the self from the mind and to manage the mind.
James: Yes, our next book will be a detailed unfolding of the guna teaching but it seems to me that all you need to know is the energetic feel of the guna manifesting at the moment and knowledge of the values associated with it. If you keep your goal in mind then you can dismiss the value. If you value desire (rajas) or fear (tamas) the gunas have a hold on you. The idea that you are "missing out" is tamoguna. If your life has become more livable since Vedanta – which it seems it has – then you are managing the gunas properly.
Bob: As far as "Bob's bipolar" goes I think he should become a "guna master" because for all his life he has been a "guna slave." This was the reason I was so interested in the personal "moral" inventory early on, which really was directly related to identifying, managing and neutralizing the guna influence. I don't think that this perceived deficit is preventing "enlightenment" or my "progress" but I feel it's important knowledge for me to have available for when people approach me for help, which occasionally they do. Only through consistent monitoring can the guna influence be ascertained, as life triggers the vasanas that remain hidden until the reaction exposes them and the guna of which they are an effect. Any action that can be found to be somehow emotionally-related or -based "reaction" rather than an intellectually-based logical "response" is always suspect.
James: This is true, and very well articulated.
Bob: I discovered I (reflected self) had vasanas I didn't even know I had because some are never apparent until a reaction is experienced that's directly connected to them.
James: This shows that your sadhana is working. As you clear one samskara it reveals another underneath. It is patient work. At some point you give up on it and go for the self.
Bob: Do you ever intend to produce a direct, detailed guna teaching that includes definition, recognition and management ?
James: Managing them is just being aware of them and changing the behavior that produces an unwanted guna. The gunas are common knowledge for everyone. Just look for areas of your life where there is conflict and avoidance, and clean them up.
Bob: Thank you, James. I sure wish I had more direct contact with you so I could talk with you more frequently. Even a casual text chat would be great. Maybe we can Skype sometime? How much would that cost as a donation?
James: When I get to Spain we can Skype. I am very busy now getting my last little ducks in line for my annual migration to warmer climes. The end of next month will be good. The seminar will be over and we will be settled in for the winter. It seems you are doing just fine, Bob. The donation is up to you.

Five of the pieces in the Neumeister manuscript are without a named composer. Based on stylistical grounds and on references to other sources two of these pieces can be attributed to Johan Pachelbel, two to Johann Michael Bach and one to Friedrich Wilhelm Zachow. The two prelude to "Ich ruf zu dir, Herr Jesu Christ" are thought to be composed by Johann Michael Bach. Since there is no way to know for certain, I designate it as 'anonymous' in the score, with the possibility of Bach's authorship added in parentheses. The first of these two preludes alternates the chorale melody between the soprano voice and the bass voice. Neumeister only indicates the first entry of the chorale melody in the bass voice with "Ped.". For the rest it is a bit of a puzzle which notes are meant for the pedals and which not. The notion that soprano and bass voice play the chorale alternately helps a lot with solving this puzzle.

        path "../subproj/smcxx/CMakeLists.txt"
    }
}

The CMakeList.txt defines multiple targets, but the problematic one is this:
set(SOURCES "src/lib.cc")
add_library(smcxx_obj OBJECT ${SOURCES})

An OBJECT target would not build a .so or .a file, instead, the .o files can be used in other targets.
The problem is (from my understanding) that Gradle analyzes the CMake targets and expects an output file for each target. When I compile the whole project using gradlew, I get the following error message:

> Task :app:externalNativeBuildDebug FAILED

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':app:externalNativeBuildDebug'.
> Expected output file at /home/cytrinox/src/androidapp/app/.cxx/cmake/debug/armeabi-v7a/smcxx_obj for target smcxx_obj but there was none

The object file lib.cc.o was successfully compiled and exists. But there is no smcxx_obj folder nor a smcxx_obj.so file (which is expected).
Is it possible to solve this error, for example by telling Gradle to skip this check for a specific CMake target?

A: According to the documentation:

Gradle builds all executables and shared object libraries that you define in your CMake (or ndk-build) project.

However, CMake object libraries don't seem to be supported at all, and cause the issue you are experiencing. I actually believe this is a bug: Gradle should just skip building them, as they are mostly only useful within CMake itself.
Anyhow, you can fix this by manually specifying which CMake targets you want Gradle to build (e.g. just omit object library targets and you'll be fine):
android {
  ...
  defaultConfig {
    ...
    externalNativeBuild {
      ...
      cmake {
        targets "target1", "target2"
      }
    }
  }

Sunday's World Cup fantasy soccer slate features England as a big favorite in one and the other two games evenly matched. Lineup building will depend on if you believe England can dominate like Belgium did on Saturday, or if it will be closer to Brazil's late 2-0 result against Costa Rica.
Harry Kane, England vs. Panama, $11,000 — Kane has the highest scoring odds on the slate, and considering the next options are Robert Lewandowski ($9,800) and teammate Marcus Rashford ($8,600), it won't be easy to make a cash lineup without Kane (James Rodriguez is in the next section). Kane appeared to be the only England player that could put the ball in the back of the net in their first match and will get more opportunities as a bigger favorite against Panama. Romelu Lukaku scored a brace on three shots against Panama and Kane should be near that total.
Juan Cuadrado, Colombia vs. Poland, $7,000 — Most of the extremely cheap forwards are unusable, so Cuadrado makes the list, even though he isn't considered cheap. He was lively on the ball in the first match, racking up four fantasy points in just 31 minutes, and as long as Colombia doesn't go down a man early, he'll play the majority of the way against Poland. After Poland had trouble against Senegal's speed, expect similar struggles against Colombia, and that's exactly what Cuadrado brings to the pitch after drawing more than four fouls per match in qualifying.
James Rodriguez, Colombia vs. Poland, $10,000 — Some will be turned off by Rodriguez after his first performance, but there's little to put into his 31 minutes off the bench. He should start against Poland, and Colombia will be back to normal after playing most of the Japan match with 10 men. That means Rodriguez will be on the ball a ton against a team that struggled against Senegal. He takes most free kicks for Colombia and should be closer to his qualifying numbers when he averaged more than six crosses and three shots per match.
Gaku Shibasaki, Japan vs. Senegal, $4,000 — After taking four corners in the first match, this is a smart place to look in the midfield, as long as Japan's lineup doesn't change. Shibasaki finished with seven crosses in that match and as a defensive midfielder is good for a few tackles. He didn't play much in qualifying and that's why his price is so low.
Kieran Trippier, England vs. Panama, $6,600 — Trippier probably has the highest floor and highest upside of any of the defenders and that's why he costs so much. Even without a shot on target or clean sheet last match, Trippier still reached 10.5 fantasy points from 10 crosses (four corners). It should be a similar match for England and if Trippier connects on one of those crosses, he'll surpass value with ease.
John Stones, England vs. Panama, $3,800 — Maybe this is too much England, but they are the biggest favorite on the day and none of the other cheap defenders are truly exciting. Stones provides clean sheet potential and he'll also get forward on corners, which is why he had three shots last match. Compared to some of the other defenders in this range, he may have the best floor of them all.
Khadim N'Diaye, Senegal vs. Japan, $5,100 — If you don't have the money to spend on Jordan Pickford ($5,900), who has the best odds for a win and clean sheet, N'Diaye is the next choice. The Senegal-Japan match has the lowest over/under and both teams would be fine with a scoreless draw after winning their opening match. Not to say that will happen, but Senegal outplayed Poland in their opening match, while Japan needed an early penalty and red card in their favor to have an edge.
Jaime Penedo, Panama vs. England, $3,600 — This is the play if you're desperate to save money. Penedo won't get a clean sheet, but there's a chance he makes up to five saves after England had eight shots on goal last match (scoring twice). Panama battled Belgium in their opener before getting taken over in the second half and if they put in the same performance, Penedo should be good for a few fantasy points from saves, as long as he doesn't allow four or five goals.


Summer means travel if you're lucky. Each time we travel, we're looking for ways to lessen our use of disposable goods – in other words, we look for sustainable elements in hotels, eateries, public transport, and shops we visit along the way.
This quest has led us to become fans of the website Traveling Greener. The blog features an extensive roundup of global travel tips and informative websites.
A recent feature explains some of the advantages of staying at a rental property rather than a hotel in order to travel more sustainably.
We've found this to be true as well. Obviously a rental villa or apartment uses less energy than a big hotel. Consider all the "less" involved: less waste, no daily changing of linens, no waste from an adjoining restaurant, and from our experience, they often stock the rooms with products and supplies that are made locally, which equals less fuel used in transporting goods.
Apply the same eco-friendly practices you would at home: separate rubbish, re-use plastic bags, use lighting, electricity and water wisely.
Travel to the destination by train or boat instead of plane; once you arrive use public transport, ride bikes, or walk everywhere.
Shop at local markets, farmer's markets, organic markets, and specialized stores, such as butchers, cheesemongers and fishmongers. If you must use a supermarket, check packaging carefully.
Use small, local, independently-owned businesses to keep the money in the community, instead of big supermarkets, department stores and global franchises.
Do eco-friendly activities: walking tours, nature-based activities, visit small museums, local parks and gardens, and use local, eco-certified, responsible travel companies.
Maybe you've never considered these sorts of travel options. If not, we hope you'll explore some of these ideas. And knowing how careful some of our customers are about sustainability, we know some of you are experts on traveling that way too.
Please share some of your own tips and experiences with us!

When we take long road trips we like to take healthy snacks such as nuts and trail mix that we get in bulk and pack in reusable containers along with crackers or bread and sanwich makings. We also have a rollable cooler that holds a 3 gallons containers of water so we always have plenty of water without buying bottles. And when its empty we can refill it. And of course, we carry out own travel mugs for hot beverages. These things help save a lot of money and stops to get food and water and all the extra packaging that comes along.

Texas governor deploys National Guard; Will not be 'accomplice' to 'open border policies'
by WorldTribune Staff, March 7, 2021
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said he has deployed the National Guard in response to the crisis at the southern border which he said gets worse by the day due to Joe Biden's "open border policies."
Abbott on Saturday said he launched Operation Lone Star "to combat the smuggling of people and drugs into Texas." The operation will integrate the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) with the National Guard, Abbott said.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott / C-SPAN
Abbott ordered the deployment of air, ground, marine, and tactical border security assets to high threat areas.
"The crisis at our southern border continues to escalate because of Biden administration policies that refuse to secure the border and invite illegal immigration," Abbott said.
"Texas supports legal immigration but will not be an accomplice to the open border policies that cause, rather than prevent, a humanitarian crisis in our state and endanger the lives of Texans. We will surge the resources and law enforcement personnel needed to confront this crisis."
Texas Democrat Rep. Henry Cuellar said that Border Patrol agents apprehended approximately 10,000 migrants in the Rio Grande Valley Sector during a seven-day period ending on Wednesday.
"We are weeks, maybe even days, away from a crisis on the southern border. Inaction is simply not an option," Cuellar said. "Our country is currently unprepared to handle a surge in migrants in the middle of the pandemic."
Brownsville officials said that six percent of the migrants being released at the city's bus station to obtain transportation into the U.S. interior are testing positive for covid, Breitbart News reported. Brownsville officials said they do not have the authority to prevent those who test positive from boarding buses to travel into the U.S. interior.
Meanwhile, Joe Biden's White House has ordered Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to stop issuing public safety alerts which warned residents about violent criminal illegal immigrants.
"There's really no rationale for locking this account other than to discourage public reporting of obvious safety threats. The Biden administration will continue to claim that it's focused on dangerous illegal aliens, but this move illustrates that they're just not serious," said Jon Feere, a senior adviser to ICE during the Trump administration.
Georgia Republican Rep. Andrew Clyde told the Washington Examiner: "Once again, it appears the Biden administration is putting open borders policies over the safety and security of American citizens. Locking the ICE alerts account prevents the public from receiving critical information about criminal aliens. I fear it will be American lives that will pay the price for the administration's reckless policies."

Making connections; maintaining independence
Spectrum Generations provides a multitude of services for aging adults.
By Jim Leonard

BELFAST — As Heather Frederick's husband Linden neared retirement, she began the process of setting up accounts for Medicare and other programs provided to seniors and retirees. What happened next led Frederick down a path of discovery — one she hopes more seniors will make for themselves.
Frederick logged onto the site to apply for Medicare and soon discovered she was in over her head.
"I got online, and it was confusing," she said of the comprehensive online application process. "I couldn't make heads or tails of it."
Frederick had heard from a friend that a local organization provided assistance in navigating the often-bewildering morass of online forms and passwords that accompany the application for benefits.
"We found that at Spectrum Generations here on Merriam Street in Belfast you could make an appointment and sit down with someone who will help you sign up and talk to you about what plan you need," Frederick said. "We were out of there in half an hour with exactly what we needed."
Benefit advice and assistance signing up are just two of the many services provided by Spectrum Generations, an organization with 50 years of service to seniors, and now adults of all ages.
"We provided a lot of different services in the community," said Senior Program Director Nate Miller. "These are services that help older and disabled adults remain in their homes."
Spectrum Generations has had several different names over the past five decades. Created in 1972 as one of the five Area Agencies on Aging by then Gov. Ken Curtis, it was known as the Central Senior Citizens Association. That organization offered transportation services and takeout meals.
The organization changed its name to Senior Spectrum in 1988, reflecting a desire for increased visibility as a one-stop resource.
To reflect its work with adults of all ages, the name was changed to Spectrum Generations in 2018. Best known in the last 50 years for its Meals on Wheels program, the organization has evolved to a critical hub of information and assistance.
"People can call us for any reason," Miller said. "If we don't have the program or the service to offer them, we can tell them who in their community is addressing their need."
The organization's mission today is to promote and advance the well-being of older and disabled adults, with the support of their care partners, to live in their community of choice.
Spectrum Generations serves the swath of Central Maine that includes Waldo, Lincoln, Somerset, Southern Kennebec, Sagadahoc and Knox counties through seven community-based centers.
"Ultimately, we are a considered an aging and disability resource center," said Director of Community Engagement Lindsay MacDonald. "We are responsible for 26% of the Meals on Wheels services provided in the state of Maine. That's how many people know about us, but we offer so many other services around that."
Spectrum Generations offers community case management, nutrition, aging and disability resources, health and wellness resources as well as family caregiver services at all locations. Many of these services are free, or low cost.
Each center hosts activities for aging adults that allow them to socialize in a comfortable setting, offer skills they can utilize in their home, and promote community. One of these programs is Money Minders.
"Money Minders helps older adults balance their checkbook and make sure their bills are paid," Miller explained. "I describe it as free accounting help each month. It allows people to direct their finances and avoid having someone take over their finances completely, so they can be as independent as possible."
All of the programming offered by Spectrum Generations is designed to help aging adults achieve and maintain independence.
The organization also offers programming that assists those taking care of older adults.
"Our Family Caregiver Support program offers education and assistance to those taking care of their older loved ones," Miller said. "We help caregivers navigate the system and get home care services. We also have funds that will help reimburse caregivers for the cost of home care."
All it takes to benefit from one of the organization's programs is getting in touch with one of Spectrum's statewide centers.
"One of the benefits of our programming is that it's designed to meet people where they are," said MacDonald. "That's not only in person, but on Zoom, and we have tool kits available that we can send with important information. We can also talk on the phone. It's really helpful in meeting people with our resources."
To provide these services the organization relies on an army of volunteers. Many of those volunteers are involved in Spectrum Generations' most visible program — Meals on Wheels.

"To qualify for Meals on Wheels you have to be homebound or isolated," said Meals on Wheels Coordinator Beth Seekins, "If you qualify, we get the meals to you the next week."
Currently the Meals on Wheels program in Waldo County is serving 110 clients, most of whom come in through referrals from other agencies or caregivers.
The meals are cooked and packaged at the Muskie Center in Waterville and delivered to the county facilities on Tuesday of each week. Volunteer drivers pick up the meals at the county facility and take them to the clients in their county. Each client receives five prepackaged frozen meals and a "milk" bag that includes milk or juice, bread, fruit and desserts.

Seekins has 10 volunteer drivers to cover eight routes throughout Waldo County. Each route can take two to three hours to complete. Seekins is always looking for additional volunteer drivers.
"Some of our drivers go south in the winter," Seekins said. "We need the additional volunteer drivers to cover their routes while they're gone. It's important because, sometimes, our driver is the only person some of our clients see during the week."
Those who use a program or service at Spectrum Generations are put on the organization's mailing list. It was here that Frederick discovered a way to pay it forward.
"We got on the mailing list and saw that they needed (Meals on Wheels) drivers," Frederick said. "I thought, that is really one way I can say thank you."
Frederick and her husband have missed just three weeks in the last three years and she says her work has reshaped her perspective.
"What I see, when I make my deliveries, is the strength of human determination," she said. "They inspire me with their tenacity. My route is just one day a week for a couple of hours, but I make connections that last a lifetime."

Q: Let $H,K$ be normal subgroups of group $G$, if $\gcd\left(|H|,|K|\right)=1$ then $\text{Aut}(H\times K)=\text{Aut}(H)\times \text{Aut}(K)$ Can you help me with the following problem?
Let $H,K$ be normal subgroups of group $G$, if $\gcd\left(|H|,|K|\right)=1$ then $\text{Aut}(H \times K)=\text{Aut}(H)\times \text{Aut}(K)$.
Is it true that $\text{Aut}(H)\times\text{Aut}(K)$ is contained in $\text{Aut}(H \times K)$ regardless of coprimeness? Why?
How to use coprimeness to show the other containing?

A: For the first part, yes, we can identify $\mathrm{Aut}(H)\times\mathrm{Aut}(K)$ with a subgroup of $\mathrm{Aut}(H\times K)$.
This is because any $f\in\mathrm{Aut}(H)$, $g\in\mathrm{Aut}(K)$ induce automorphisms $f',g'\in\mathrm{Aut}(H\times K)$ by $f'(h,k)=(f(h),k)$ and $g'(h,k)=(h,g(k))$. Clearly $f'$ and $g'$ always commute, so $\mathrm{Aut}(H)\times\mathrm{Aut}(K)\subseteq\mathrm{Aut}(H\times K)$ via $(f,g)\mapsto f'g'$.
For the second part, the opposite inclusion, consider $\rho\in\mathrm{Aut}(H\times K)$. For $h\in H$, $\rho(h)$ must have the same order as $H$. Since $H$ and $K$ have coprime order, the only elements with the same order as $h$ must be in $H$, so $\rho(H)=H$. In particular $\rho$ restricts to an automorphism $f\in\mathrm{Aut}(H)$. Similarly, $\rho$ restricts to some $g\in\mathrm{Aut}(K)$. Noticing then that $\rho=f'g'$, we obtain $\rho\in\mathrm{Aut}(H)\times\mathrm{Aut}(K)$.

Educators have done the math and have concluded their students can't do the math.
Out of 65 countries that were assessed recently, the U.S. was 32 in math proficiency. The results were taken from two tests: the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), the exam administered by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, and the National Assessment for Educational Progress (NAEP), a national exam.
For a 21st-century economy like ours that depends on math skills for growth and development, this is terrible news.
I suggest we do what number-phobes say is impossible and make math fun and relevant. First, we should put a binomial equation on every Facebook wall, like in "Good Will Hunting." Just leave an unsolved equation there and maybe Matt Damon will come along and solve it. I hear he is wicked smart.
Everyone who uses Google daily should be required on sign-in to be able to define what the math expression "googol" means.
The word problem I like is: If two ships can cross the Atlantic in eight days, how fast can four ships cross?
Jumbotrons and scoreboards at baseball, basketball, hockey and football games should show how to convert the velocity of a ball or puck from miles per hour to a more meaningful, and scary, feet per second.
Fast food restaurants should give little plastic toys and free French fries to customers who can complete a number sequence printed on a soda cup.
College students should participate in mathfests in October in which a piece of pizza will be awarded to those students who can solve simple linear equations while drinking light beer.
New England Patriots receiver Ochocinco should be invited to speak during halftime at the Rose Bowl.
Dan Brown should write a novel about the Knights Templar and their affinity for numerology.
MacGyver should come back to television as a math genius.
Finally, every congressman should be able to write the national debt using scientific notation.


We run several climbing courses at The Barn Indoor Climbing Wall such as Taster Sessions, Beginners Course, 6 Week Beginners Course, Refresher Course, Lead Course and One 2 One Coaching, to attend any of these courses pre-booking is required; please contact us for further details.
This course is designed for people who are new to the sport and want to learn the skills required to safely use the top rope and Bouldering areas of the wall.
A tailor made course to suit your needs, instruction and coaching given on any aspect of climbing.


LouLan kingdom, a little bigger than great britain, was renown for its wheat, grapes and wine once upon a time. It is dead/desert now. The deforestation and field burning were common among ancient civilization, which devastated local habitat that was overwhelmed by human demands.

The San Francisco Chronicle was founded in 1865 as The Daily Dramatic Chronicle by teenage brothers Charles de Young and Michael H. de Young. The paper grew along with San Francisco and was the largest circulation newspaper on the West Coast of the United States in 1880; today, it is Northern California's largest newspaper, serving primarily the San Francisco Bay Area, but distributed throughout Northern California, including the Sacramento area and North Coast.
San Francisco Chronicle in Curious Notions[]
The San Francisco Chronicle was the main newspaper of San Francisco in an alternate where Imperial Germany ruled the world.
Around 2096, it reported the discovery of the wreckage of the Hindenburg, which had crashed in the ocean off the coast of France in the 1940s, and German colonial troops resorting to the use of machine guns to put down a rebellion in India, among other stories.
San Francisco Chronicle in "News From the Front"[]
The San Francisco Chronicle was one of several newspapers critical of President Franklin D. Roosevelt and the United States' entry into World War II in 1941 and 1942.

Preview: Six things to look out for Copa America
Source: Xinhua| 2019-06-12 13:44:56|Editor: Liu
By Michael Place
RIO DE JANEIRO, June 12 (Xinhua) -- The Copa America will kick off on Friday when hosts Brazil meet Bolivia at Sao Paulo's Morumbi stadium. Xinhua identifies six things to look out for in the 2019 edition of the world's oldest international continental football tournament.
1. MOTIVATED BRAZIL
This Copa America marks only the second time since 1949 that the competition has been played in South America's biggest country.
In total, Brazil has hosted the event on just five previous occasions, while Argentina has staged it 10 times, Uruguay seven, Chile seven and Peru six.
Perhaps even more startling is Brazil's underwhelming record in the competition. The country that has five World Cups to its name - more than any other rival - has won just eight of the 45 completed editions of the Copa America. Uruguay has 15 titles and Argentina 14.
If there is a theory that Brazil has tended to treat the Copa America as a second-tier competition - preferring instead to prioritize the World Cup - that is surely not the case this time around.
Brazil are hankering for silverware after a series of failures at recent major tournaments. The wretched run of results began in 2014 when they were dumped out of the World Cup as hosts with a humiliating 7-1 semifinal defeat to Germany.
A year later, the Selecao were eliminated from the Copa America by Paraguay in the quarterfinals and in 2016 - in the Copa America's centenary edition - they didn't make it out of their group.
There was another disappointment last year when the South American giants were beaten by Belgium in the quarterfinals of the World Cup in Russia.
Head coach Tite will know the importance of winning this tournament to Brazil's demanding football public and it has been suggested that failure to do so might cost the 58-year-old his job.
But it will be no easy task. Brazil have shown a propensity to crumble under pressure in recent years and they were handed a severe blow last week when talismanic forward Neymar was ruled out of the competition with an ankle ligament injury.
In the Paris Saint-Germain forward's absence, the onus to score will fall on an attack that is one of Brazil's youngest in recent memory. Among those vying for a spot in what is likely to be a front three are Everton's Richarlison, Ajax's David Neres and Manchester City's Gabriel Jesus, all of whom are 22.
If the forward line is youthful and inexperienced, the opposite is true for a defense that includes Dani Alves, Thiago Silva, Miranda and Filipe Luis, whose combined average age is 34.3.
2. EYES ON NERES
This Copa America has a plethora of world-class young players, but one name that arguably stands out from the rest is Neres.
The former Sao Paulo forward enjoyed a scintillating 2018-19 season and is one of the reasons why Ajax made it to the semifinals of the UEFA Champions League, knocking out Real Madrid and Juventus along the way.
Ajax fans can only wonder what might would have been had the 22-year-old not been injured while warming up for the second leg of the semifinal against Tottenham, in which Lucas Moura scored three second-half goals to hand the London club an unlikely victory.
Neres scored his first international goal in Brazil's 7-0 rout of Honduras on Sunday and Tite strongly hinted in his post-match press conference that the Selecao No. 7 would be handed a starting role against Bolivia.
A strong showing at the Copa America would further fan rumors that Neres will leave Ajax in the summer. Real Madrid, Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal are reportedly among the clubs vying for his signature.
3. MESSI - LO CELSO PARTNERSHIP
Brazil's recent contretemps pale when compared to Argentina's woes in major tournaments and the Albiceleste have not won a senior men's trophy since the 1993 Copa America.
They came painfully close in 2014, 2015 and 2016, when they were beaten finalists in the World Cup and then two successive Copa Americas. On each occasion the two-time world champions were on level terms with their opponents after 90 minutes of normal time.
As ever, Argentina will pin their hopes heavily on Lionel Messi. The Barcelona forward looks to have renewed his enthusiasm for the national team since returning from an eight-month self-imposed international exile in March. Perhaps even more encouraging for head coach Lionel Scaloni is the 31-year-old's apparent affinity with Giovani Lo Celso.
The pair combined superbly during the first half of Argentina's 5-1 friendly win over Nicaragua last Friday and the Buenos Aires press corps has waxed lyrical, claiming that Messi finally has the partner that he has long craved with the Albiceleste.
4. STRIKERS IN FORM
South America has long been renowned for its production line of world class strikers and this Copa America will showcase some of the best attacking talent in the region in years.
Argentina's potent quartet of Messi, Sergio Aguero, Paulo Dybala and Lautaro Martinez will attract much of the attention but Uruguay, Colombia, Argentina, Venezuela and Peru also have their attacking aces.
Uruguay strikers Luis Suarez and Edinson Cavani have scored 102 international goals between them and are showing no signs of slowing down despite having both turned 32.
Colombia's Duvan Zapata is coming off a sublime season in Italy in which he netted 28 times in 48 matches across all competitions for Atalanta. The 28-year-old has continued that form with the national team, scoring his first international goal in Colombia's 3-0 friendly win over Peru on Sunday.
Another forward in ominous touch is Venezuela's Salomon Rondon. The 29-year-old scored twice in the Vinotinto's 3-0 win over the United States in Cincinnati on Sunday, having netted 11 Premier League goals an injury-interrupted 2018-19 season.
Peru captain Paolo Guerreo has also rediscovered his goal-scoring instinct, having struck nine times in 13 matches for Brazil's Internacional since returning from a doping ban in April.
5. CHILE FERVOR
Chile cannot lay claim to sharing the proud football history of Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay, but the country's fans are every bit as fervent.
Last week, the Copa America organizing committee announced that Chileans had acquired more tickets for the tournament than supporters of any other country, with the exception of hosts Brazil.
The most sought-after game involving Chile has been the team's final group fixture against Uruguay at the Maracana on June 24.
Many football journalists who covered the 2014 World Cup witnessed first hand how passionate Chile fans can be.
Before a group match between Chile and Spain at Rio's Maracana stadium, around 200 La Roja supporters stormed the venue's media center after being turned away from sold-out ticket booths.
6. TOURNAMENT GUESTS
Nine non-South American nations have taken part in the Copa America as invitees since 1993. This will be Japan's second appearance in the tournament while 2022 World Cup hosts Qatar will take part for the first time.
Other nations to have participated as guests are Japan, Mexico, the United States, Panama, Jamaica, Honduras, Haiti and Costa Rica.
Mexico have twice finished second in the event, the best performance by an invitee.
According to reports in Brazilian media, Qatar and Australia have been sent formal invitations to play in the 2020 Copa America, to be played in both Colombia and Argentina.

Shirley Hodapp
Daily Point of Light # 1088 Apr 6, 1998 By jaytennier
Shirley Hodapp, a retired schoolteacher, established the Lake City Little Gnat Clubhouse in 1995. The clubhouse, named after the school's mascot, started as a facility that prepared preschoolers for kindergarten. It has now expanded to include 90 kindergartners, first and second graders who are at-risk within the normal school curriculum.
Using a portable building donated by the Polk County School Board, Mrs. Hodapp and her volunteer staff of more than 40, use an educational program created by Mrs. Hodapp that develops language, cognitive and motor skills. Volunteers must take a 20-hour training course before becoming a clubhouse teacher. Parents of preschool-aged children are expected to accompany their children to the sessions, so they can be educated on how to encourage and help their child develop learning skills.
The impact on the community has been very positive. At-risk students who attend weekly sessions at the Little Gnat Clubhouse have shown improvement in their skills. Kindergarten teachers have reported no emotional adjustment problems in the students enrolled in the Little Gnat's programs.
Since 1996, the Little Gnats Clubhouse has hosted an orientation week of activities such as educational games and seminars on how to help children learn. This prepares students and parents for the transition into kindergarten. Mrs. Hodapp has persuaded community members and parents to become involved as program volunteers. Fifteen volunteers on a steering committee headed by Mrs. Hodapp make decisions on which way the program should head.
Mrs. Hodapp works 50 hours a week at the Little Gnats Clubhouse, teaching children and training parents and volunteers to work with the children. In addition, she has recently started a program called Baby Gnats, which deals with teaching parents how to help their children develop in the first stages of their lives.
Mrs. Hodapp annually receives a $5,000 grant from the school board to purchase yearly supplies.


I am not planning to spam this blog with watch videos, but I was never able to post one, because my WordPress system was (most likely) messed up after too much upgrading. Today I cleaned the whole webserver from files that shouldn't be there and upgraded to a new version of WordPress. This should also keep the spammers in the comment-fields away.
Anyway, just to try out, my first link to a watch video on YouTube.


I started my career in the custom closet industry in 2001 and what started as a temporary shift in my design career became a fascination. Previously, I practiced architecture for 10 years, designing and detailing mostly commercial spaces. I worked on large projects, from bookstores to boutiques. I never really gave much thought to the storage spaces in a project. In architecture, the closets are residual; the leftovers spaces that remain after the primary rooms and site lines are laid out. In custom closet design, you have to find a way to make these leftovers the main course.
Long before I went to architecture school at Virginia Tech, I was in juvenile furniture sales while I was a student at Brooklyn College. I loved sales, working with people; getting to know them and helping them make great selections. Custom closet design was a great fit for me because it brought my two strong skills together, sales and design.
I am aware that my experience in architectural design informs the work we do at Symmetry Closets. I like to find the simple elegant solution to any space problem. I also know my experience in construction helps our customers. I have a knack for determining what is and isn't possible within your budget limits and guiding our customers through the entire process.
I worked for several established custom closet companies. While I enjoyed working through the designs with customers the end result always fell short, mainly because I could not control the entire process. Once the design was done and paperwork signed I had to hand it off to someone else. Sometimes the customer was happy but other times they were disappointed in the way their project was implemented. I decided that if I was going to stay in the custom closet business I had to start a new kind of company and the result of that decision is Symmetry Closets. I wanted to start a company that put professional space planning first, paired with excellent customer service.

CIGC hysterectomy patient Heather from Arlington, Virginia was initially diagnosed with fibroids in 2011. The largest one was the size of a golf ball. Heather was not interested to preserve fertility and she considered getting a hysterectomy, but did not want an open surgery as her doctor suggested. At the time she chose to treat the fibroids with birth control pills.
Waiting to treat fibroids can lead to worsening GYN symptoms. As fibroids continue to grow, they can distort the uterus, increase pain and blood loss.
"The pain increased daily. Apparently my fibroids were 'banging into each other'. Per my coworkers I was hunched over and paler than normal (some even stated I looked green). I was worn out from the pain and the fibroids themselves. The pain was pretty awful, but I tried not to focus on it. In fact, I didn't realize exactly how bad it was until it was completely gone after my surgery. What a difference!" Heather said.
Heather's friend heard a radio ad for The Center for Innovative GYN Care.
At CIGC, hysterectomy is performed using the advanced DualPortGYN technique developed by Dr. Natalya Danilyants MD and Dr. Paul J. MacKoul MD. The laparoscopic procedure uses two 5 mm midline incisions. They are placed in cosmetically appealing locations so they are barely noticeable once they heal. As these incisions go through the midline, not through muscle, post-operative recovery is faster and with less pain. Women are usually back to work within 1 week.
Heather had her outpatient minimally invasive hysterectomy the day before Thanksgiving and she was able to have dinner with her family and enjoy the holiday the next day.

Reddit surpasses Facebook to become the 3rd most visited site in the US
by Callum Booth — in Facebook
According to Alexa – the Amazon-owned web traffic analyzing platform – more people now visit Reddit than Facebook in the US.
Spotted, of course, on Reddit by user IamATechieNerd, the stats will be a big boost for the social sharing platform, especially with many users still irked about the recent re-design.
It's important to note that analyzing web traffic using a tool like Alexa is not an exact science, but it's interesting that it has now put Reddit ahead of Facebook.
If the stats are to be believed, Google is still the most visited site, followed by YouTube, Reddit, and Facebook, with Amazon rounding out the top five.
On average, Reddit users spend 15 minutes and 10 seconds on it everyday, a figure substantially higher than its competitors. Google users spend 7 minutes 16 seconds, YouTube 8 minutes 31 seconds, Facebook 10 minutes 50 seconds and Amazon 7 minutes 37 seconds on the sites each day.
This isn't great news for Facebook on the face of things. The social media company's audience is ageing and shifting to other platforms and, with the Cambridge Analytica scandal, the company's lost a lot of sheen.
Still, the Facebook-owned Instagram and WhatsApp are thriving, so Zuckerberg won't be panicking too much yet.
Whether long-term Reddit users will be happy with this increased traffic is another matter. But, let's be honest, when are they ever satisfied?

Lil Boat
by Sheldon Pearce
This Atlanta rapper with a cult hit under his belt ("1 Night") brings to mind iLoveMakonnen. He inhabits a post-regionalist rap universe, a space defined by digital platforms rather than geography.
"Good Day" [ft. Skippa Da Flippa] — Lil YachtyVia SoundCloud
"Fucked Over" — Lil YachtyVia SoundCloud
Atlanta's Lil Yachty is a pure creation of the Internet. His cult hit "1 Night" found most of its audience through a viral sketch comedy video, and before that, he was being plugged on Twitter by Ian Connor, a stylist and web curator known mostly for his connection to A$AP Rocky. He's indebted to Lil B, too, with free-form verses that mimic Based Freestyles and a carefree energy reminiscent of the Based God's Myspace days. In short, Yachty thrives in Rocky's post-regionalist rap universe, a space defined by digital platforms rather than geography. One of his producers goes by Digital Nas. He is definitive proof that modern rap has no gatekeepers, and Soundcloud rap's laziest possible copy-and-paste job.
There isn't a single thing Lil Yachty's doing that someone else isn't doing better, and in richer details. On Lil Boat, his debut mixtape, he makes a grating mess of these varying influences. The most obvious creative inspiration is iLoveMakonnen, which becomes especially clear on "Good Day," with its creaky falsetto and warbling melody. But Makonnen brings warmth and a feeling of ease to his tracks, while Yachty is constantly straining, as if just getting the words out of his mouth is a struggle. His rapping is jerky and his voice is so flat that Auto-Tune itself seems to buckle under the weight.
Yachty's main selling point is "fun." This is all supposed to seem easy and unbothered, and it does on cheery tunes like "Wanna Be Us" and "Run/Running." But everything feels unfinished or undercooked—a handful of songs are just a single verse and a hook, with no clear relationship between the two. So a song like "Not My Bro" opens with a bang and then shrinks back into nothing, a series of pitchy, singsongy whines. It's a lot of things —irritating, boring —but "fun" isn't one of them.
Yachty's simplicity works in his favor when it comes to catchy hooks. On the better songs here, he sings/raps over bubbly, retro N64-sounding productions (mostly produced by Burberry Perry) that convey childlike wonder and amusement. But the hooks don't do nearly enough to balance out Yachty's painful shrieks, and many of his ideas aren't just basic, they're sloppily executed. Attempting to form a working model out of the flotsam of the moment is a fool's errand. But what else is to be expected of a prisoner of shifting tides?

Vivendi talks up Telecom Italia commitment - Mobile World Live
Vivendi talks up Telecom Italia commitment
Vivendi reiterrated a long term commitment to "create significant value" for the customers, employees and shareholders of Telecom Italia, as it revealed Q1 2017 earnings.
The media company's comments come shortly after the candidates it submitted for the board of Telecom Italia picked up support at a recent shareholder meeting.
Telecom Italia's newly-constituted board is made up of 15 members: ten independents; three representing Vivendi; and Telecom Italia's chairman and CEO, appointed to "ensure the continuity of management".
Vivendi seperately announced an intention to acquire Groupe Bollore's 60 per cent stake in Havas to create a "leading world-class content, media and communications group". Groupe Bollore is also the largest single shareholder in Vivendi.
On a group level, Vivendi reported a profit of €101 million, down 88.3 per cent year-on-year, on revenue of €2.7 billion, up 6.9 per cent. It noted an "excellent performance" from Universal Music Group, while its Canal+ revenue declined due to falling pay TV operations in France and lower studio sales.
Its Gameloft unit also recorded its "all-time second best quarter".
The company explained the drop in profit by noting its Q1 2016 profit was boosted by factors including the reversal of a reserve created in relation to a lawsuit, and a gain on the sale of its remaining stake in Activision Blizzard, leading to a tough annual comparison.
Adjusted net income, which it described as "a better representation of the group's performance", increased 57.2 per cent to €155 million.

Abstract. Objective: Congenital depression of the skull is a rare event and the cause is not always clear. It may be complicated by brain injury, hematoma and epilepsy. This case is presented to draw attention to this rare congenital disorder which may raise suspicions in the family and discuss treatment options. Description: This baby boy was born at term by cesarean section and the depressed fracture of the right parietal bone, 5 cm×4 cm, with a depth of 7.7mm was noted at the first examination. Conventional and 3-dimentional computed tomography of the skull confirmed the diagnosis. The neurological examination was unremarkable. The depressed portion was elevated by surgery; the baby was growing well in the first month. Comments: Skull fracture is frequently assumed to have resulted from trauma, but it may occur prenatally.

Q: Bootstrap dropdown with scrollable selection list I am trying to make a dropdown list that has two commands (Sort asc and Sort des) that will be executed on one click and is listed at the top followed by a section under "Choose Filtering", that has a command "Toggle All" (that does not close the dropdownlist) and a scrollable list of names (that does not scroll the commands at the top) that can be selected with help of checkboxes.
I have come a good way with this, the part that I can't make happen is the the scroll of only names. When I try to implement the checkboxes then the names change appearance, I want them with the checkbox aligned with the other commands then a padding and then the name (not boled).
But I get left alinged boxes, no padding and bold names.
And then the scrollbar, I can't set it over just the names, it goes over all the dropdown-menu or I get a separate scroll for each name is in the coed below.
I want to make a subclass to :
that allows me to set the scrollbar for just those menuitems.
I have experimented with div:s and class on labels, but I can't figure it out.
Please help me get this right.

Java Script

CSS
Using: Bootstrap-3.1.1
And my own Styles.css:
li.dropdown-menu-form {
    padding: 5px 10px 0;
    max-height: 100px;
    overflow-y: scroll;
}

#dd-list {
    padding-top: 5px;
    padding-bottom: 5px;
    padding-right: 20px;
    padding-left: 10px;
    font-weight: normal;
    overflow-y: scroll;
}

Corrected CSS:
ul.dropdown-menu-form {
    padding-left: 20px;
    list-style-type: none;
    max-height: 100px;
    overflow-y: scroll;
}

A: The reason you're getting the bold is that Bootstrap css for the label selector is bold.  So to change that:
li.dropdown-menu-form label, .dd-list li label {
  font-weight: normal;
}

To add padding after your checkboxes:
li.dropdown-menu-form input, .dd-list li input {
  display: inline-block;
  margin-right: 10px;
}

To get your scrollbar correct, you can't tell li.dropdown-menu-form to have a max-height of 100px and overflow-y of scroll, because that's going to apply it to every individual list item with the class dropdown-menu-form.  So, you could try wrapping your dropdowns in a div and assigning it a different class to which you can apply the max-height and overflow-y properties. (Just like you wrapped your dd-list).
