Earlier today, the Coffee County Sheriff's Office announced that three individuals had been arrested for allegedly robbing Evans Grocery at gunpoint in January. Later in the day Friday, the Douglas Police Department released a statement reporting that those same three individuals, along with one other, had also been charged in connection with five other armed robberies in the city – three of which took place at the same store, Flash Foods on North Peterson Avenue.
Over the past several months there have been six armed robberies at local convenience stores, both in the City of Douglas and in Coffee County. Armed robberies occurred at the following locations within the City of Douglas by what appears to be the same suspects:
· December 14, 2018- Flash Foods at 1716 North Peterson Avenue.
· January 27, 2019- Flash Foods at 1716 North Peterson Avenue.
· February 18, 2019- Mack's Minit Mart at 1304 McDonald Road
· March 10, 2019- Flash Food at 1716 North. Peterson Avenue.
· March 12, 2019- Enmarket at 29 Willacoochee Highway.
As the result of a joint investigation with the Douglas Police Department's Criminal Investigations Unit and the Coffee County Sheriff's Office Criminal Investigations Division, charges have been filed against four individuals relating to the March 12 armed robbery of the Enmarket. "I want to personally thank Douglas Police Department's Patrol Division and Criminal Investigations Unit, the Coffee County Sheriff's Office's Patrol Division and Criminal Investigations Division, and the Georgia State Patrol's Aviation Unit for the hard work put into investigating and solving these cases," states Douglas Police Chief Shane Edmisten.
As a result of the joint investigation the following charges have been filed in relation to the March 12, 2019 robbery of the Enmarket and more charges are pending relating to the other four robberies within the City of Douglas:
· Stephon Maurice Best, 28, of Douglas: Armed robbery, possession of a firearm by convicted felon, possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime.
· Ikhawn De'Jon Presley, 19, of Douglas: Armed robbery.
· Renard Nekee McAllister, 19, of Douglas: Armed robbery.
· Willie Frank Bivens III, 18, of Douglas: Armed robbery.
The sheriff's office also charged Best, Presley, and Bivens in the Evans Grocery armed robbery that took place in January.
According to the police department's statement, at this time these four suspects have not been connected to the armed robbery that occurred on March 12, 2019 at Malcolm's Pharmacy, 250 S. Peterson Avenue in Douglas. The Douglas Police Department's Criminal Investigations Unit continues to work that investigation with the assistance of the GBI and the Georgia Drugs and Narcotics Agency. They are following up on leads and processing forensic evidence at this time.
Anyone with any information that would further assist with these cases is asked to contact the Douglas Police Department at 912-384-2222 or the Tips Line at 912-260-3600. Information can also be shared on the Department's Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/DouglasGAPoliceDepartment/.

Q: How to open any fragment after Navigation Drawer closed My Fragment opens immediately after clicking the Navigation Drawer item. I want it to open after the navigation drawer has closed.
How do I open the fragment after the drawer was closed in the Navigation Drawer support library?
private void initNavigationView()
{
    navigationView = (NavigationView) findViewById(R.id.navigation_view);
    drawerLayout = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.navigation_drawer);

    drawerToggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(this, drawerLayout, R.string.nav_open, R.string.nav_close) {
        @Override
        public void onDrawerOpened(View drawerView) {
            super.onDrawerOpened(drawerView);
            invalidateOptionsMenu();
        }

        @Override
        public void onDrawerClosed(View drawerView) {super.onDrawerClosed(drawerView)
        }

    };
    drawerLayout.post(new Runnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                drawerToggle.syncState();
            }
        });
    drawerToggle.setDrawerIndicatorEnabled(true);
    drawerLayout.setDrawerListener(drawerToggle);
    navigationView.setNavigationItemSelectedListener(new NavigationView.OnNavigationItemSelectedListener() {
            @Override
            public boolean onNavigationItemSelected(MenuItem menuItem) {

                switch (menuItem.getItemId()) {
                    case R.id.tentang:
                        break;
                    case R.id.keluar:
                        finish();
                        break;
                }
                selectDrawerItem(menuItem);
                return true;
            }

            private void selectDrawerItem(MenuItem menuItem)
            {
                Fragment fragment = null;
                Class fragmentClass = null;

                switch (menuItem.getItemId())
                {
                    case R.id.fragment_home:
                        fragmentClass = com.wahyuapps.benux.fragment.fragmentHome.class;
                        break;
                    case R.id.fragment_distro_linux:
                        fragmentClass = com.wahyuapps.benux.fragment.fragmentDistroLinux.class;
                        break;
                }
                try {
                    fragment = (Fragment)fragmentClass.newInstance();
                }catch(Exception e){
                    e.printStackTrace();
                }
                FragmentManager fragmentManager = getSupportFragmentManager();
                fragmentManager.beginTransaction().replace(R.id.fragment_content, fragment).commit();
                menuItem.setChecked(true);
                setTitle(menuItem.getTitle());
                drawerLayout.closeDrawers();
            }
        });
}

What code do I put on this?
How to open fragment when the drawer is closed?
on my case, my fragment got opening after clicking the item. I want opening fragment with some delayed after drawer closed.

A: android.support.v4.app.FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction = getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
        TestingFragment hello = new TestingFragment();
        fragmentTransaction.add(R.id.mainlayout, hello, "HELLO");
        fragmentTransaction.commit();

with this you can call the fragment...and R.id.mainlayout is the rootlayout of your activity.
Edit 2
to open the fragment after some delay
Handler handler = new Handler();
    handler.postDelayed(new Runnable() {
                @Override
                public void run() {

                    FragmentManager fragmentManager = getSupportFragmentManager();
                    fragmentManager.beginTransaction().replace(R.id.fragment_content, fragment).commit();
                    menuItem.setChecked(true);
                    setTitle(menuItem.getTitle());

                }
            }, 1000);

choose this import for the handler - import android.os.Handler;

A: I think you want to make a delay to open fragment. If you need to make fragment transition after drawer closed. Then you can achieve this by delaying your transition.
Your code should be like this.
navigationView.setNavigationItemSelectedListener(new NavigationView.OnNavigationItemSelectedListener() {
            @Override
            public boolean onNavigationItemSelected(MenuItem menuItem) {
            switch (menuItem.getItemId()) {
                case R.id.tentang:
                    break;
                case R.id.keluar:
                    finish();
                    break;
            }
            selectDrawerItem(menuItem);
            return true;
        }

        private void selectDrawerItem(MenuItem menuItem)
        {
            Fragment fragment = null;
            Class fragmentClass = null;

            switch (menuItem.getItemId())
            {
                case R.id.fragment_home:
                    fragmentClass = com.wahyuapps.benux.fragment.fragmentHome.class;
                    break;
                case R.id.fragment_distro_linux:
                    fragmentClass = com.wahyuapps.benux.fragment.fragmentDistroLinux.class;
                    break;
            }
            try {
                fragment = (Fragment)fragmentClass.newInstance();
            }catch(Exception e){
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
                changeFragment(fragment);
                menuItem.setChecked(true);
                setTitle(menuItem.getTitle());
                drawerLayout.closeDrawers();
            }
        });

Create a method to change fragment.
 public void changeFragment(final Fragment fragment){
        new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                FragmentManager fragmentManager = getSupportFragmentManager();
            fragmentManager.beginTransaction().replace(R.id.fragment_content, fragment).commit();
            }
        }, 400);
    }

I just entered 400 milliseconds delay in transition. Change it by your wish.
Hope it helps:)

Q: What is the meaning of this Wolfram Alpha result when calculating $3^p = 4^q$? I would like to know are the some $p \in \mathbb{N}$ and $q \in\mathbb{N}$ for $3^p = 4^q$ except the trivial $p = q = 0$. So, I entered the expression into Wolfram Alpha, which returned the result for $q$:
$\displaystyle q = \frac{\log(3^p)}{\log(4)} + \frac{2\pi i c_{1}}{\log(4)}$
Nothing is said about what is $c_{1}$. Arbitrary constant? If $c_{1} \neq 0$ the result could be complex-valued I guess. I tried some calculations using the formula but the results do not make sense.

A: Other's have discussed the output given by Wolfram|Alpha, so I'll provide only a hint for a solution.
Hint: For every $p \in \mathbb N$ with $p\geq 1$, we have that $4^p$ is even but $3^p$ is odd. A natural number cannot be both even and odd, so...

A: So to find all solutions, real and complex consider the definition of an exponential. $a^b=e^{b\log a}$. Also helps to mention that the complex logarithm of a complex number $r e^{it}$ is $\log\mid r \mid+2n\pi i$ with $n$ an integer. It's to do with the fact that the logarithm function is the inverse of a function that isn't one to one so you've to choose a 'branch'. Anyway...
Now write as $ e^{p\log 3} = e^{4\log q} $.
Take the complex log of both sides so that
$p\log 3 + 2n\pi i=q\log 4$ where $n$ is an integer and then divide across

Q: PHP7 method_exists Uncaught Error: Function name must be a string I am getting this error:

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Function name must be a string in

For this code:
if (function_exists($item['function'])) {
    $item['function']($item, $default);
} elseif (method_exists($this, $item['function'])) {
    $this->$item['function']($item, $default);
}

I know that changing the code to
if (function_exists($item['function'])) {
    $item['function']($item, $default);
} elseif (method_exists($this,$item['function'])) {
    $this->{$item['function']}($item, $default);
}

Solved that error, but my question is, should this line
 $item['function']($item, $default);

also be converted to
{$item['function']}($item, $default);

or can it be left as is?

A: This is due to incompatible changes in the order-of-evaluation for processing indirect variables and methods:

Changes to the handling of indirect variables, properties, and methods
Indirect access to variables, properties, and methods will now be evaluated strictly in left-to-right order, as opposed to the previous mix of special cases. The table below shows how the order of evaluaiton has changed.

No, you don't have to change this line:
$item['function']($item, $default);

Because there is no special evaluation going on here, it will just use the array element as function name and call the function. You could change it, and the code will still work properly, but it isn't necessary.
But as you already did correctly you have to change:
$this->$item['function']($item, $default);

to:
$this->{$item['function']}($item, $default);
       ↑                 ↑

Since as you can see in this table:
                    Old and new evaluation of indirect expressions
      Expression            PHP 5 interpretation         PHP 7 interpretation
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  $$foo['bar']['baz'] |     ${$foo['bar']['baz']}  |    ($$foo)['bar']['baz']
  $foo->$bar['baz']   |     $foo->{$bar['baz']}    |    ($foo->$bar)['baz']
  $foo->$bar['baz']() |     $foo->{$bar['baz']}()  |    ($foo->$bar)['baz']()
  Foo::$bar['baz']()  |     Foo::{$bar['baz']}()   |    (Foo::$bar)['baz']()

PHP 7 will assume you first want to access an object property, and then you want to access an index from that property, and use its value as method name to call a method (left-to-right order).
To use the variable and index as property name, you have to use curly braces to indicate that.

A: $funName = $item['function'];

And use instead (without) array.
@Svetlio, not for older versions, but for compatible!
Why people misunderstant this? You all are too lazy to write one more line for assignment?

Santa Monica Police Arrest Sexual Assualt Suspect
Anthony Barrett arrested in connection to June 28 assault
By Sam Catanzaro
Santa Monica police are seeking the public's help in identifying additional victims who may have been sexually assaulted by a recently-arrested man in Santa Monica.
According to the Santa Monica Police Department (SMPD), on June 28, 2022, officers responded to the area of 4th Street and Colorado Avenue to investigate a sexual assault in which the suspect grabbed a female's buttocks and then fled. The suspect was later identified by the SMPD as Anthony Barrett a 29-year-old male originally from Ohio.
On August 5, SMPD officers arrested Barrett in the downtown Santa Monica area, and on August 9, the Santa Monica City Attorney's Office filed criminal charges on Barrett for sexual battery and failure to register as a sex offender.
SMPD investigators believe Barret has been in Southern California since at least June of 2022. He is known to travel between downtown Los Angeles and Santa Monica.
Anyone who may have been involved in or witnessed an incident involving Barrett is asked to contact Detective Brian Spencer at (310) 458-8420 or Sergeant Chad Goodwin at (310) 458-8931. Persons with crime information can also contact Crime Stoppers by calling (800) 222-TIPS, texting from a mobile phone, or visiting their website at www.lacrimestoppers.org.

427 F. 2d 409 - United States v. Brewer
Federal Reporter, Second Series
427 F.2d.
427 F2d 409 United States v. Brewer
427 F.2d 409
UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee,
Roscoe Thomas BREWER, Defendant-Appellant.
No. 187-68.
United States Court of Appeals, Tenth Circuit.
June 12, 1970.
Clifford K. Cate, Jr., Asst. U.S. Atty. (William J. Settle, U.S. Atty., Muskogee, Okl., was on the brief), for appellee.
E. C. Nelson, Muskogee, Okl., for appellant.
Before HICKEY and HOLLOWAY, Circuit Judges, and EUBANKS, District judge.
HOLLOWAY, Circuit Judge.
Appeal is taken from a conviction and 15-year sentence under 18 U.S.C. 2113(d) for armed bank robbery and for placing in jeopardy the life of the officer in custody of national bank funds. The issues on appeal concern two refusals of the trial court to ask additional questions on voir dire and the admission of evidence of cash purchase of an automobile which is said to have been admitted without a proper foundation and prejudicial. We do not agree with either contention and affirm. The relevant facts appear in our discussion of these issues.
First appellant argues that the trial court erred by refusing on voir dire to inquire whether 'because bank personnel are involved would they believe them quicker than they would anyone else.' The direct proof of the Government that appellant committed the robbery included the testimony of three bank officers along with that of three other witnesses. One of the latter said appellant looked like the robber, although smaller than the robber was. And it was stipulated that at a line-up the day before trial, one additional witness picked a different person and another failed to identify anyone. A pre-trial display of photographs had not produced an identification of appellant. Appellant denied participation in the robbery and offered an alibi defense, supported by four other witnesses, placing him in Tulsa at the time so that the reliability and credibility of the testimony of the bank personnel were of paramount importance.
The court conducted the voir dire as sanctioned by Rule 24(a), F.R.Crim.P., and in conformity with the customary practice in this circuit. Brundage v. United States, 365 F.2d 616 (10th Cir.). The jurors were extensively questioned on circumstances that might impede their reaching a fair verdict. There was painstaking collective and individual questioning of their general qualifications and circumstances indicating any possible prejudice for or against either party. The court questioned one juror about possible unfairness by any disposition to favor Government evidence because of employment of a relative by the Government. In another instance the court inquired of a juror (later excused by a peremptory challenge) whether employment of her son as an officer of another bank might influence her decision. The jurors were questioned generally to ascertain their acceptance of the presumption of innocence and the rule on the Government's burden of proof.
The trial court has broad discretion on questions to be asked on voir dire, subject to essential demands of fairness. Aldridge v. United States, 283 U.S. 308, 310, 51 S.Ct. 470, 75 L.Ed. 1054; United States v. Williams, 417 F.2d 630, 631 (10th Cir.). We have said that it is a proper subject of voir dire to ask whether jurors would give greater or less weight to anticipated testimony of a law enforcement officer than to that of another witness simply because of the officer's official character. See Chavez v. United States, 258 F.2d 816, 819 (10th Cir.), cert. denied sub nomine Tenorio v. United States, 359 U.S. 916, 79 S.Ct. 592, 3 L.Ed.2d 577; and Brown v. United States, 119 U.S.App.D.C. 203, 338 F.2d 543, 544-545. However, we feel that the complaint here about refusal of the similar question on the testimony of bank employees is unjustified and conclude that the court adequately tested the qualifications and competency of the jurors. Kreuter v. United States, 376 F.2d 654, 657 (10th Cir.), cert. denied, 390 U.S. 1015, 88 S.Ct. 1267, 20 L.Ed.2d 165. We are satisfied that the jurors were fairly questioned and that refusal of the additional inquiry was no abuse of discretion in the process of obtaining an impartial jury. Aldridge v. United States, supra; United States v. Williams, supra.1
Secondly appellant complains of refusal to ask the jurors whether 'because the defendant has had prior convictions will they base a verdict on those, or be decided upon the facts presented on this case alone.' The trial court refused this request also, stating that the matters had been covered by questions asked and would be covered adequately in the instructions. In the charge the court said that one thing the jury might take into consideration in determining the extent to believe appellant was his prior convictions, but that he was not on trial for those offenses and that the prior convictions could not be considered as evidence of the bank robbery.
Again we conclude that refusal to ask the additional question was not an abuse of discretion in the voir dire to obtain an impartial jury. We are referred to no authorities that such questioning is essential to a fair voir dire. And the purpose of the questioning was to enable the parties to obtain an impartial jury, not to select jurors. See Brown v. New Jersey, 175 U.S. 172, 175, 20 S.Ct. 77, 44 L.Ed. 119; United States v. Williams, supra, 417 F.2d at 631. We conclude there was no impingement on appellant's rights, nor any denial of the essential demands of fairness. Aldridge v. United States,supra; Brundage v. United States, supra.
Third, appellant argues that admission of testimony as to cash purchase of an automobile was error for lack of relevance and a proper foundation, relying on Lyda v. United States, 321 F.2d 788 (9th Cir.).
The Government proof showed that a robbery occurred about 2:45 p.m. on January 4, 1968, at the Security National Bank of Coweta (about 27 miles from Tulsa). Bank officers and others identified appellant as the robber. $6,746 was missing after the robbery. The loss consisted of about $4,000 in 20-dollar bills, along with 10, 5 and 1-dollar bills which were missing. The testimony objected to came from one Rowland who testified that appellant, an acquaintance of his, had purchased a car from him in a pool hall in Tulsa for cash; that this occurred about 4 o'clock on an afternoon in January, or possibly February, 1968, the date not being remembered; and that the $2,500 payment was made mostly in 20-dollar bills, and also in some 10 and 5-dollar bills.2
We cannot agree that the trial court erred in admitting this testimony. It is true that the probative value of such proof may be outweighed by the possibility of confusing and prejudicing the jury, see Lyda v. United States, supra at 790; and Rule 4-03(a), Proposed Rules of Evidence, 46 F.R.D. 161, 225; cf. Williams v. United States, 168 U.S. 382, 395-396, 18 S.Ct. 92, 42 L.Ed. 509, and that some circumstances discussed often in conjunction with such proof were not shown before it went in. However, we do not feel that the fixing of the exact date of the car purchase as occurring after the robbery was essential here, since possession of a large sum of cash at about the time of an offense may be considered as part of the circumstantial evidence where warranted by the particular facts involved. See United States v. Jackskion, 102 F.2d 683, 684 (2d Cir.), cert. denied, 307 U.S. 635, 59 S.Ct. 1032, 83 L.Ed. 1517; and O'Shea v. United States, 93 F.2d 169, 172 (6th Cir.). Nor do we think that the absence of proof of prior poverty destroyed the relevance of proof of the cash purchase here in view of the circumstances recited surrounding the transaction and the other incriminating evidence. See Thompson v. United States, 389 F.2d 37, 38 (9th Cir.), cert. denied, 391 U.S. 903, 88 S.Ct. 1651, 20 L.Ed.2d 417; and Self v. United States, 249 F.2d 32, 34-35 (5th Cir.). We cannot say that the trial court abused its discretion in determining that such circumstantial evidence was relevant and probative, and not remote and prejudicial, under all the circumstances. See Wilson v. United States, 250 F.2d 312, 325 (9th Cir.); Yates v. United States, 362 F.2d 578, 579 (10th Cir.); and Johnston v. United States, 260 F.2d 345, 347 (10th Cir.), cert. denied, 360 U.S. 935, 79 S.Ct. 1454, 3 L.Ed.2d 1547.
The record reveals a fair trial and ample proof to sustain the conviction. We conclude that none of appellant's contentions justify disturbing the judgment and it is affirmed.
We view the facts and the careful and fair voir dire here as distinguishing this case from the authorities relied on by appellant. United States v. Napoleone, 349 F.2d 350 (3d Cir.); Sellers v. United States, 106 U.S.App.D.C. 209, 271 F.2d 475, and Smith v. United States, 262 F.2d 50 (4th Cir.)
Appellant testified that he purchased the car the last part of December or the first part of January and paid for it out of $2,700 he got from the sale of check protectors he had had for several years

Choosing the perfect domain name is one of the most important factors for any business.
A domain name will become part of a businesses online identity so it's vital to get to right first time round.
With so many businesses out there, the popular domain names have often been taken so choosing the perfect domain name may require some creativity!
In this blog post we'll go over 7 tips for choosing the perfect domain name for your small business.
A domain name should be easy for people to spell and remember – because of this many will say not to use numbers and hyphens as this can make things confusing.
Of course there are exceptions to this rule – for example if your brand name includes numbers this may be unavoidable.
Unfortunately there are individuals out there who may decide to to purchase the other extensions of your domain name and attempt to tarnish the reputation of the business.
With this in mind, consider purchasing the other extensions to ensure the above can't happen to you.
The longer the domain is the harder it is for people to remember.
The maximum length of a domain name can be up 63 characters but would you be able to remember it – if you're thinking no then the chances are very few people will too!
Choosing the perfect domain name should involve some research prior to purchasing.
Check it see if the chosen name has any potential trademark issues e.g if another company already owns that name.
Its a good idea to check social media platforms too such as Facebook as this will give you a good idea if in fact that business name is taken.
The most popular choice is .com with over 60% of domains using .com so if it's there go for it!
To avoid confusion and to keep the chances of people misspelling a domain and landing on a completely different site it's a good idea to make your domain name easy to type.
The easier the domain is to type the less chance of errors!
While it's not essential to include keywords in a domain name, it can be an advantage if the business is relatively new.
Adding keywords relating to a business will quickly help visitors to understand the products or services on offer.
Choosing the perfect domain name is an important factor of your business' online presence so important to get it right first time round.

The DiMage 7 is one of several five megapixel cameras being offered in the $1,000 price range. The Minolta is probably the most versatile of the crop, offering more capability than most users will need. It is also a somewhat more complex camera that will tend to appeal to advanced users. Picture quality is very good (sample image), while ease of use is fair.
Clearly the high resolution is the biggest draw for this camera. With 4.95 million pixels, 2568 x 1928, it can produce images that rival 35 mm. It is somewhat puzzling that the specifications and advertising for this camera claim 5.25 million pixels in the CCD. Where are those those extra 300,000 pixels?
The 7X optical zoom is sharp, and because of the high resolution significant cropping is possible to increase telephoto range. The maximum aperture is f/2.8 at 7 mm and f/3.5 at 50.8 mm. This is equivalent to a 28 – 200 mm 35 mm lens because of the smaller size of the CCD. The lens does macro at 50.8 mm only to a minimum focus of 0.25 meters from the focal plane. Horizontal field of view is 50 mm at this setting. The manual focus ring at the base of the lens could be bigger and work a little faster.
The electronic viewfinder, which can be rotated 90 degrees, is a definite plus in my view. Other users can expect to have a strong reaction too, but theirs may be either positive or negative. Like most digitals there is no range finder so help with focusing is always welcome. The use of a 122,000 pixel viewfinder display provides this through aliasing. When a high-resolution image is sampled at low resolution it is aliased to lower frequencies. This produces fringes which, when maximized, are the optimum focus. This is helpful on manual focusing and also when auto-focus doesn't work, true of all auto-focus systems at least occasionally. My reaction to the DiMage's viewfinder was initially very negative, as I found the fringes visually disorienting and unattractive. After a few weeks I have learned to love them for there usefulness.
A monitor LCD is also available on the back of the camera and is often handy. One focusing wrinkle is magnification. If you push the magnification button the viewfinder image shows a magnified area (4X) that is displayed on the monitor LCD. When you look through the viewfinder you see the whole field with a brighter magnification rectangle. When you look at the monitor you the magnified view. This is a good idea. but it takes about a half second to do it and I find it a little clumsy. I would have preferred the magnification to appear in the viewfinder and for a faster, smoother operation.
An electronic viewfinder has one other compelling advantage. You see the exposure calculations displayed real time. You can do this on other digital cameras with monitors, but I prefer to use the viewfinder and find it speeds up finding the correct exposure.
The exposure metering is good, with an automatic zone like mode, a center weighted mode, and spot. These work well and produce well exposed images with little effort. The DiMage 7 uses menus. This is fine for infrequently used options, but I use the spot meter a lot and would really prefer a faster way to change metering mode. Using the menu button and then the jog button three times and then hitting the menu button again is not something I want to do several times an hour.
I have other ergonomic issues with the camera. The presence of a computer often generates complexity and the DiMage 7 takes this to new heights. The manual required three pages of drawings just to show where all the button are. The use of so many buttons doesn't bother me so much as the fact that I have no choice in how they are arranged or what they do. The virtue of a computer is that the controls can be customized to suit the user. With complex cameras this is more important. So far as I can see, camera manufacturers have not caught on to this, although scientific instrument makers have been doing it for twenty years.
The camera uses Compact Flash cards (Type I and II) allowing storage of up to a gigabyte (only a 16 Mbyte card comes with the camera). The image formats supported are jpeg (several quality levels), a video format (called AVI), TIFF, and a raw proprietary form. You can store one TIFF image on the 16 megabyte card furnished with the camera. Software is furnished for the Mac or PC to convert the raw form into TIFF. I tried the Mac software only. The digitizer is 12 bit but this depth is only available in raw. The software must be used to convert to TIFF. The software works fine but is unbelievably slow. I have not used the software except to convert raw images to TIFF. There is very little support for editing 48 bit deep images on computers so far. Any serious editing in Photoshop requires converting to 24 bit.
The camera comes with a nonstandard USB interface that cannot coexist with a hub. This means you must dedicate a USB interface to the camera. I used a compact flash Firewire reader for most of the time, but did test the USB on a Mac and a Window machine and it works, albeit very slowly. A 256 megabyte compact flash card takes about 30 minutes to download from the camera while the same card can be read in a minute on Firewire. The decision to use USB and not make it compatible with other devices, is an unsatisfactory aspect of the DiMage 7. Other cameras in this price range are also using the USB, My recommendation is to use a firewire reader. You cannot control the camera over the interface, or back up settings or restore settings. Using a reader is much more convenient than disconnecting everything else before connecting the camera.
The instruction manual describes the functions of the camera clearly. It also describes available accessories. I was immediately attracted to the ring light, Macro Ring Flash 1200 with Macro Flash Controller. This would greatly enhance macro work, so I ran down to my local camera store to try one out. Did not work at all. Even with max exposure control and a 2 stop neutral density filter it was still at least 4 stops overexposed. The dealer had no idea what could be wrong. So I called Minolta's support number, and quickly learned that there are two "Macro Ring Flashs 1200 with Macro Flash Controllers" and I was using the "old" model. The dealer was able to figure this out only after I described the problem and he researched it in Minolta's dealer catalog. Minolta use of 18 character describion for this flash is not specific enough to allow the customer to order with confidence. I find this unsatisfactory. The correct strobe can be custom ordered, but even an expert user will not get it right the first time.
If you need a five megapixel camera with macro and 7X zoom the Minolta DiMage 7 is the only camera in the price range that delivers. If these capabilities are not important then you may be happier with the Nikon or Fuji. Caution about available accessories is wise.

We can finally stop talking about who the Patriots lost in the off-season or whose sitting in an Attleboro jail cell and start talking about actual games. The Patriots first preseason game marked the official end to a turbulent off-season and the start of a new hope filled season.
Even though the stars and starters were limited to a few series, there was still plenty to learn in the season's first game. With so many new faces at key positions these games may lack intensity, but not importance.
Here is my collection of observations, thoughts and conclusions from tonight's game.
Just as expected the first round of the 2013 draft was as exciting as ever. With just about every pick in doubt leading up to the selection, NFL Draft fans were left in true suspense this year.
Now that the first round is in the rear view mirror, I give my thoughts on what went down, the surprises, disappointments and of course break down the Patriots selection (or not). I also take a look ahead to what is expected to be another exciting day at the NFL Draft.
Bjoern Werner is turning into the forgotten man of the 2013 NFL Draft.
Before we get back to talking about the NFL Draft and football. On behalf of everyone at NEPD and myself included, we would just like to send out deepest condolences out to those affected by the unspeakable tragedy that struck our city on Monday. No other city in the world is better equipped to deal with such tragedy.
The loyalty, toughness and spirit that our city is known for has already shined bright. The selflessness of those in the city has been inspirational to others around the world. As someone who has grown up in and around parts of the city, I have no doubt that Boston will overcome this and be stronger than ever once it is all over. The families and loved ones of those affected will continue to be in our thoughts and prayers.
With the NFL regular slated to kick off tonight, I take a stab at making some predictions and prognostications about the 2012 NFL Season. Who are the top five Super Bowl Contenders? Who will be the most impressive defensive rookie? Who will be the top five picks in the 2013 NFL Draft?
I'll make my predictions and the readers can hold me to them at the end of the season. Who doesn't love to read top five lists anyway?
Kyle Love' has developed into one of the best defensive players on the roster.
Each week during the NFL season, I will be providing readers with a 15 thoughts article. These articles will be similar to those I wrote leading up to the NFL Draft in April.
It's a random compiling of thoughts I had throughout the week, things that stood out that week, things that I learned or just random tidbits that have nothing to do with anything. In this first edition, I get caught up on all the happenings of the preseason up to this point and take a look at some roster moves that we might see in the future.
The 2012 NFL Draft is over and it's time to reflect on it.
With the 2012 NFL Draft officially in the books, months and months of preparation and speculation are behind us. Today, I wrap up the 2012 Draft with what stood out to me about the three day draft.
What did I like about the draft? What teams draft impressed me? What teams had a poor draft? I discuss all that and a lot more in this week's 15 Thoughts.
The start of the 2012 NFL Draft is 11 days away. The draft process is nearing an end and with speculation constantly running high, we are all anxious to see how it plays out.
In today's 15 thoughts, I take a look at 15 players whose names may be called by the New England Patriots on draft day and how they would fit in with the Patriots.


Somewhere along the way, companies discovered that synthetic chemicals could make our skin softer, our hair shinier, and our teeth whiter. In the excitement of the chemical boom of the 70's we lost our way. We thought that labs could produce better ingredients than Mother Nature. We thought that government regulations would protect us and make sure that what was for sale in the marketplace had been tested for long term human health impacts. We thought wrong. With over 90,000 chemicals in use in our industry today, only a fraction of them have been tested for long term effects.
At All Natural Cosmetics we believe that the earth provides more than enough ingredients to give us beautiful and healthy skin for life.

What it means to be a refugee in Australia
July 20, 2016 Book Reviews

Pictures in my Heart: Seeking Refuge – Afghanistan to Australia
Fiona Hamilton
Wakefield Press
Noted French novelist Marcel Proust once claimed that "only through art can we emerge from ourselves and know what another person sees". In Fiona Hamilton's book Pictures in my Heart, Seeking Refuge – Afghanistan to Australia, the reader is treated to artworks created by refugees from Afghanistan living in Murray Bridge, a small town outside of Adelaide, South Australia. The pieces explore what it means to be refugees in Australia. Linocuts – prints cut into a sheet of linoleum – are used as the medium through which the artists' depict their separation from their families and their harrowing experiences as asylum seekers.
Between 1999 and 2001, many Hazara male refugees came to Australia by boat and were placed on Temporary Protection Visas (TPV) while the Australian government assessed their asylum claims. Living on a TPV meant that this particular group of men was able to live in the Murray Bridge community, rather than in detention as is the case now for those seeking asylum on Australian shores. However, the TPV also meant that the Australian government would reconsider their petition for asylum after 30 months. If circumstances changed, there could be every chance that their review would be unfavourable and that they would be sent back to Afghanistan – a potential death sentence for those fleeing the Taliban.
Familial themes pervade the artwork, while the stories further reinforce how dangerous Afghanistan has been for those caught in the Taliban's warfare.
Alongside longtime friend and artist Miranda Harris, Hamilton saw the opportunity to run a series of art workshops as a way of mitigating the intense periods of loneliness and separation that accompany the refugee experience. The book is a collection of stories, linocuts, photos and clay art made by the men who attended the workshops. Their contributions featured in a 2003 exhibition at the local town hall.
Whilst significant as artworks in their own right, the series of works highlights the collective plight of many refugees; caught between wanting to honour their own socio-cultural backgrounds while trying to become valued members of Australian society. Familial themes pervade the artwork, while the stories further reinforce how dangerous Afghanistan has been for those caught in the Taliban's warfare.
Broken up into chapters such as "Home", "War", "Journey" and "Boat", Pictures in my Heart, Seeking Refuge – Afghanistan to Australia is a collection of memories and hopes representative of the initial shared refugee experience – from the decision to embark on a dangerous journey to freedom to the challenges faced as a result of governmental intervention.
Unfortunately, the ability of refugees to access artistic programs such as the Murray Bridge program is not a shared experience, and we are poorer because of it.

A Drexel University-led research project aimed at studying the health and behavioral effects of medical marijuana use for young adults living in Los Angeles has been renewed for another five years. The project offers a unique opportunity for researchers to track how the state's changing cannabis laws are impacting public health.
California became the first state to establish a medical marijuana program in 1996. In 2013, the National Institutes of Drug Abuse (NIDA) funded the Cannabis, Health, and Young Adults (CHAYA) research project in an effort to better understand the health and social effects of the law. The longitudinal study followed 18 to 26-year-olds – 210 medical cannabis patients and 156 non-patients who used marijuana recreationally – for four years.


Toronto, Canada-based Maricann Group Inc. (OTC:MRRCF) is a vertically integrated company that produces legal marijuana-based products. Founded in 2013, the company has production facilities in Ontario, Canada, where it operates a medicinal cannabis business under a license from the Canadian government. The company believes its Ontario plant is a low-cost high-efficiency facility. The company has also implemented automation to constrain labor costs at this site. In addition, Maricann operates facilities in certain European markets, as discussed below. Maricann's shares trade on the Canadian Securities Exchange under the symbol MARI and on the OTC Markets under the symbol MRRCF.

Witnesses at Joshua Boyle's trial described the former hostage as having a controlling character following years in captivity.
Boyle, 35, has pleaded not guilty to 19 charges, including assault with a weapon, sexual assault and forcible confinement. He is being tried by judge alone in provincial court in Ottawa.
Boyle was charged a few months after he returned to Canada in October 2017 with his estranged wife Caitlan Coleman, and their three children. They had been held captive for five years in Afghanistan and Pakistan.
Coleman, 33, is the alleged victim in 17 of the charges Boyle is facing.
Crown prosecutor Jason Neubauer began the day by calling Janice Unger, an employee of Global Affairs Canada to the witness box.
She was a consular officer who joined Boyle and his family on their flight home from Pakistan to Canada following their release.
Unger testified Boyle did most of the talking for Coleman during the flight and didn't allow Unger or her colleagues to talk to Coleman for very long.
"He would say, OK that's long enough, go to your seat, you're there too long," Unger said.
Unger also described an incident she witnessed on the plane that left her in tears while testifying.
CBC News can't provide further details of the incident to protect the identity of the second victim, whose identity is covered by a publication ban.
During cross-examination, defence lawyer Eric Granger asked Unger if she knew the family prior to meeting them for the flight, or whether she was aware that they had just spent five years in captivity.
Unger said she didn't know them but was aware of their captivity.
She agreed that she had no personal awareness of what the family dynamics had been during their time as hostages.

Coleman's sister testifies
The next witness to testify was Coleman's older sister, JoAnn Rotenberry, who described to the court the first time she saw her sister following her release from captivity.
Rotenberry said she travelled to Ottawa in October 2017, shortly after Coleman was hospitalized for some sort of virus or infection.
Last week, Coleman testified that she spent four or five days in the Ottawa Hospital.
Rotenberry explained that she had met Boyle previous to that visit, but couldn't remember because of a lapse in memory she has due to spending three days in a medically induced coma in 2015. She told the court her memories since 2015 are not impacted.
"She looked very tired, she was frail, skinny," Rotenberry told the court, when describing her sister at the time.
Rotenberry testified that Coleman was expected to continue to care for the children during her time in hospital.
"She was the one who was sick in the hospital, but her duty was to clothe them, feed them, entertain them," she said.
Rotenberry described Boyle as having a "shattered state of mind," during her visit, often in a bad mood and speaking demeaningly to Coleman.
When Coleman was released from hospital, Rotenberry said her family moved to a hotel nearby.
During their time at the hotel, Rotenberry said Boyle was out at appointments during much of the time while Coleman and the children stayed in their room.
Rotenberry said she was surprised by her sister's behaviour towards Boyle, which she described as subservient.
"I thought that she would be stronger," she said.
Concerned for her safety
After returning home to the United States, Rotenberry said she kept in contact with her sister via email and text messages and that an exchange in November 2017 prompted her to contact police in the United States.
She told the court she was concerned for her sister's safety. After that, she said she was unable to get in touch with her sister.
On Dec. 7, 2017, Rotenberry said she sent an email to Coleman inquiring why she wasn't responding to her messages and asking if she had done anything to upset her.
Rotenberry said she received an email back from Boyle later that day, indicating that Coleman was busy and that her phone was "on the fritz."
During cross-examination, Granger asked Rotenberry about other email exchanges on Dec. 7, 2017, which included an email from Coleman that was sent a few hours after Boyle's email.
It said she was sorry for being remiss with emails and that her phone was indeed on the fritz as Boyle had suggested.
Rotenberry testified that she only met Coleman for the first time in 2010 because Rotenberry had been adopted when she was a baby and only found her birth mother and Coleman at that time.
Granger pointed out that Rotenberry would have only known her sister for about two years before she was taken into captivity and that those two years fell into the period of time during which Rotenberry had lost parts of her memory.
The trial will be dealing with procedural issues for at least the next week and a half.

Q: Make method public for UNITTESTS build configuration I am working on unit tests for my project.
DLL with business logic should be built for .Net 2.0, but I would like to use Moq for testing (it requires .Net 3.5). That's why I have moved all tests to separate .Net 3.5 project with reference to business logic project.
I need to test some methods, marked as internal from my test project. I can see the only way to do that using separate build configurations with conditional build symbols:
#if UNITTESTS
public
#else
internal
#endif
int DoSomeAction(int param1, int param2)
{
    // some logic that need to be tested here
}

but such kind of code looks ugly. Maybe there is some better way, like mark method by some special attribute:
[ConditionalPublic("UNITTESTS")]
internal int DoSomeAction(int param1, int param2)
{
    // some logic that need to be tested here
}

Thanks.

A: You can add the attribute
[assembly: InternalsVisibleTo("ProjectName.Tests")]

(it comes from System.Runtime.CompilerServices) to your project assembly.cs. Now your test project can access internals.
HTH

A: I wouldn't want to test private methods. Private means that only the declaring class needs to know about them, not even the unit test should be able to access it. It gives you the benefit that you can always redesign the private parts, and no other classes, not even unit tests will need to be changed. Only test the public methods, they will test the private methods indirectly, too. That's my opinion.

The Home that Was Lost
On July 21, a beautiful sunny day in 1944, I found myself sitting in the ruins of our house, crying bitterly. The little town of Kozowa, where I was born on December 9, 1920, had been destroyed. After I could cry no more, I just sat there thinking and dreaming, watching my life pass before me.
My hometown, Kozowa, was in Poland (now western Ukraine), the area known as Galicia. It was built among meadows and fields of corn and wheat that stretched for miles. In my mind it came to life in front of my eyes like an oasis in the middle of a desert. I could see the centre of town where there was a marketplace with a round building containing three stores and two groceries. Around the marketplace, streets branched out in all directions. I used to love to run down the hill from the marketplace to my home. At the top of the hill was the drugstore, and as I ran down I would pass a fence, then the pump where we got water, and then our neighbour's house before getting to our home. After turning the corner and walking up a few steps, I would reach our big, brown front door.
I loved living in Kozowa. The summers were beautiful, not too hot or humid, and the air was always clean, making it a pleasure to take a deep breath. I used to go for long walks in the fields to pick wild flowers or just to get a little sun on my face. On a nice sunny afternoon in July or August, I would dress in a dirndl and sandals, put a ribbon in my hair and walk down to the train station with one of my girlfriends. It was a beautiful walk. We would take a short cut through the schoolyard and then through a garden that looked almost like a park. The garden was private property but had a path that led to the Koropiec River. The water was so shallow that we could even walk across it. The riverbed was uneven and the water ran swiftly downstream, like a miniature waterfall. Over that waterfall was a little bridge. Well, that's what we called it, but actually it was just a board lying across our tiny river. We would take our shoes off and walk across the board in our bare feet.
On the other side of the river was another path between gardens – mostly vegetable gardens – where a herd of goats roamed. We often talked to the goats, and sometimes they even followed us. It took maybe an hour to reach the train station. We made sure to get there before three o'clock, when the train arrived. The station was a beautiful structure with an iron fence and a garden in back. We waved to the passengers in the windows of the train, and when the train left we walked home with the thought of coming back in a few days. Somehow I never got tired of that walk. I was always excited to go to the train station again.
When I didn't have anyone to walk around with, I wouldn't go very far by myself. I walked only to the river, where I'd sit down to read my book, talk to the goats or just listen to the birds. Sometimes peasant girls came to do their washing at the river. One might think this was hard work but it seemed to me, as I watched them, that they were having a lot of fun. They laughed, giggled and told jokes while beating the wash with a flat stick. I don't think they would have enjoyed themselves more at a picnic or even in a theatre. The girls had long braids and wore tight vests and long, wide skirts, with one hem of the skirt tucked into the waistband. They were barefoot and carried the wash on their backs or in pails. Walking to the river, they made up part of the beautiful picture.
Despite these idyllic scenes, life in our town was not all that glamorous. Maybe we didn't know better, or maybe we were just smart enough to make the best of it. For instance, we had no running water, so even taking a bath was quite an ordeal. If you were fortunate enough to have a tub in the house, you had to bring water from the pump, heat it in a big basin on the stove, and pour it into the tub.
When you were done, you had to pour the water out again. This is why many townsfolk went to the public bathhouse to take a bath or even a steam bath instead. I don't know exactly how the steam was made – an old man, Ludz, attended to that. When the steam was ready, another old man, Mikola, went around the streets banging two scythes together to let people know it was time to go to the steam bath. This happened only once a week, on Fridays, when everybody had to get ready for the Sabbath. In the afternoon, all the men left their work or place of business to bathe. The women went later, when Sabbath preparations were done.
Every Friday morning my aunt, who lived around the corner from us, baked cheese buns. They were the best cheese buns in the whole world, and she baked enough for a whole week. My mother, Malka Esther's, specialty was cinnamon buns. By noon on Friday, the buns were ready – first my mother gave me some cinnamon buns, then I went to Auntie for some cheese buns, and then I took them all to my grandmother's house. And what a lady she was! My grandmother was very neat and always wore a long skirt, high-laced shoes and a vest.
She had vests in every colour, but especially loved to wear bright colours. Once, she bought a long sweater and, after trying it on, decided it was too dark for her, so she gave it to my auntie and bought a red one for herself. My grandmother's head was always covered with a clean, starched kerchief. She used to say that she wished she lived in a town where there was no mud so that her shoes could always stay clean. In our town the roads and the side streets were not paved, so after it rained everything turned to mud. We had to wear galoshes or high boots.
There were so many types of people in Kozowa that I could write a whole book just trying to describe them. And nobody was called by his or her real name; everybody had a nickname. For instance, next door to us lived the shoychet, the ritual slaughterer. His name was Benzion, so his wife was called Benzinachy. What a character she was! She was a religious woman who covered her shaved head with a kerchief, as other religious women in the town did. Yet, somehow that poor woman always looked helpless. She was large, with an apron always tied around her waist, and her face was always dirty.
For as long as I'd known her she had only one front tooth, and she was constantly chewing because it took her such a long time to chew her food. Benzinachy was a good woman who wouldn't hurt a soul. Many of her children had died young of various diseases, and she was left with only a boy and a girl. She and her husband also adopted a boy named Gedalieh. I remember once when I visited her, she sent Gedalieh down to the cellar to bring her potatoes and said to him,"Gedalieh, keep talking to me the whole time that you are in the cellar."
When I asked her why he had to do that, she told me that she had preserves and jams in the cellar, and if he was talking she would know that he was not eating up the goodies!
All the people in town were like one big family. The ones that were a little better off gave meals and clothing to the less fortunate ones. Despite everything, we helped one another in times of need.

Bronia (née Rohatiner) Beker was born in Kozowa, Poland (now Ukraine), on December 9, 1920. She married Joseph Beker in 1945 and they came to Canada in 1948, where they raised their two daughters, Marilyn and Jeanne. Bronia passed away in 2015.

When Josio came into my room he was stunned. I will never forget the look on his face — he could not believe that I was alive. I couldn't understand it myself. I believe it was fate.

Defamation of Character
Oct 29, 2006–Jan 15, 2007
P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center is pleased to present Defamation of Character, an international group exhibition exploring the iconoclastic impulse as an engine of recent creative progress. It draws primarily from work created in the post-punk era by approximately thirty artists, and explores the relationships between face and fame, notoriety, disclosure, and erasure. Some of the artists mine popular culture to produce scathing or defamatory indictments of consumer mores; others take the moral corruptions of public and political acts as their defamed subject; and others practice détournement—using elements of well-known media to create new work with a different or opposing message—to elevate injury and injustice into the realm of high art. Defamation of Character will be on view in the first floor Main Gallery from October 29, 2006 through January 15, 2007.
The cradle of much of this aesthetic impulse is England, where pop culture and anti-establishment attitudes have thrived concurrently. The progenitor of this position may be the British artist Richard Hamilton (b. 1922) whose body of work created in response to the so-called "dirty protests" in Northern Ireland speaks to the political defamations of the notorious Maze prison in the stylized language of pop. Fed through the language of punk and the graphic design of Jamie Reid (b. 1947) such attitudes became the form of the Young British Artists generation, represented here by works from Jake and Dinos Chapman (b. 1966/62), Sarah Lucas (b. 1962), and recently Adam McEwen (b. 1965).
In America much of this confrontation took place with modernism itself. Key moments include Andy Warhol's oxidation paintings, when the artist took a piss on the flat mantle of Modernist abstraction; Richard Prince's (b. 1949) painted jokes, which made a literal clichéd joke of painting; and Christopher Wool's (b. 1955) self-effacing erasures of his own facility. Incorporating the perspective of feminism in their work Sue Williams (b. 1954), Kathe Burkhart (b. 1958), and Karen Kilimnik (b. 1962) take celebrity and the name of the celebrated father in vain.
Defamation of Character also features Matthew Barney's (b. 1967) Vaseline portrait of Julianne Moore as a Mirabella magazine zombie, Hélio Oiticica's (1937-80) cocaine Hendrixes and Glenn Ligon's (b. 1960) dead neon America. Documented actions and interventions such as Gordon Matta-Clark's (1943-78) BB gun window blow out, Gianni Motti's (b. 1958) appearance at the VIP box of the French Open wearing an Abu Ghraib-style hood, and Chris Burden's (b. 1946) TV hijack, will be seen alongside works by Dan Colen (b. 1979) and Nate Lowman (b. 1979) whose hijacked landscapes have become vehicles for the slanders and libels of a malignant culture of pollution, racial slurs, and tarnished reputations.
Defamation of Character is organized by P.S.1 Curatorial Advisor Neville Wakefield.

Life Decisions
"Cynthia" Wanted an Abortion
When "Cynthia" reached out to Human Coalition's Contact Center, she was scared and anxious. She'd just taken a home pregnancy test, and it was positive. Cynthia didn't feel ready to have a child. Motivated by fear, she was actively seeking to abort.
That's when our staff encouraged Cynthia to come into one of our clinics to receive a free lab-grade pregnancy test and ultrasound. She agreed and arrived the next day with her teenage boyfriend of three years, "Jordan."
The Ultrasound Room
Jordan wanted to support Cynthia no matter what she decided, but he was scared as well. As the nurse led them to the ultrasound room, Cynthia began crying and trembling. She confided to our clinic staff that she feared being disowned by her family should they find out she was pregnant.
As the ultrasound revealed her 8-week-old child, Cynthia continued to focus on getting an abortion.
Cynthia was terribly afraid she would have to bear the burden of childbirth alone. This is why Human Coalition enters the pain and confusion of the mother's situation – no matter how desperate it may be. We do it to rescue preborn children.
With patience and compassion, the staff helped Cynthia and Jordan understand that they would be there to assist the couple not just during the pregnancy and birth, but for as long as they needed them. Before the teenagers left our clinic that day, the staff prayed with them and asked God to fill them with wisdom and peace, and to protect their child.
Providing For Their Needs
Over the next few days, the staff continued praying for the couple. And soon afterward, Cynthia called to say she was keeping her baby! Throughout the next weeks and months, the staff provided support for the couple by meeting their tangible needs – supplying them with diapers and infant clothing. However, they also provided emotional and spiritual support by praying for them and offering encouragement and free parenting classes.
When baby "Christopher" was born, Cynthia and Jordan thanked our staff and shared that had it not been for their compassionate support, the couple most likely would not have chosen life for their precious baby boy.
Like many of the women Human Coalition meets, Cynthia felt isolated and afraid. She didn't know what to do. Without the help and support they experienced, Cynthia and her boyfriend could have made a permanent and fatal decision during a temporarily difficult time.

On January 13, 1984, President Ronald Reagan designated January 22 as the first National Sanctity of Human Life Day.
He issued a proclamation that this day would be used to commemorate the many lives lost to abortion since January 22, 1973, which was the day the U.S. Supreme Court legalized abortion on demand in all 50 states.
Since then, churches around the United States use the day to celebrate God's gift of life, commemorating the millions of preborn lives lost to abortion, and committing themselves to protect life at every stage.
Even though it is rarely reported by the media, abortion takes more lives each year than heart disease and cancer combined! In fact, since 1973, over 60,960,000 children have perished from abortion in United States, with over 891,000 more perishing every year! As January quickly approaches, don't forget to mark this very important date on your calendar.
Sanctity of Human Life Sunday will be observed on January 20, 2019.

Q: Excel - Generating the Cartesian product of three sets of numbers in each row I have data across a single row formatted as such:
Set 1 (Contains only one number) | Set 2 (Contains 1-6 numbers in unique cells) | Set 3 (Contains 1-6 in unique cells|
Example: [1] | [1] [2] [3] | [1] [5]
Output: 1 1 1, 1 1 5, 1 2 1, 1 2 5, 1 3 1, 1 3 5

A: Here is a VBA function which can handle the special case of 3 number sets:
Function CartesianProduct(nums1 As Range, nums2 As Range, nums3 As Range) As Variant
    Dim n As Long 'number of products
    Dim i As Long, j As Long, k As Long, r As Long
    Dim products As Variant

    n = nums1.Cells.Count * nums2.Cells.Count * nums3.Cells.Count
    ReDim products(1 To n, 1 To 3)
    For i = 1 To nums1.Cells.Count
        For j = 1 To nums2.Cells.Count
            For k = 1 To nums3.Cells.Count
                r = r + 1 'current row
                products(r, 1) = nums1.Cells(i)
                products(r, 2) = nums2.Cells(j)
                products(r, 3) = nums3.Cells(k)
            Next k
        Next j
    Next i
    CartesianProduct = products
End Function

This can be called from another VBA function or sub, or used directly as an array formula in the sheet:

In the above screenshot I selected the range A3:C8 (needing to determine its size ahead of time) entered the formula
=CartesianProduct(A1,B1:D1,E1:F1)

and then accept it as an array formula by entering it with Ctrl+Shift+Enter.
Once you get beyond three sets, things get a bit tricky since you can't hardwire in the necessary levels for a looping approach and would instead probably use a recursive approach, something along the lines of this answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/31622856/4996248

A: This is a function to do the cartesian product of any number of dimensions - The values of each dimension must be listed vertically, one dimension may have more than one column (see example below):
Function CartesianProduct(ParamArray range() As Variant) As Variant
    Dim n As Long 'number of products
    Dim total_dimensions As Long, i As Long, num_dim As Long, num_col As Long, max_cols As Long
    Dim dim_sizes As Variant
    Dim dim_counters As Variant
    Dim products As Variant

    ReDim dim_sizes(LBound(range) To UBound(range))
    ReDim dim_counters(LBound(range) To UBound(range))
    n = 1
    max_cols = 0
    For i = LBound(range) To UBound(range)
        dim_sizes(i) = range(i).Rows.Count
        max_cols = max_cols + range(i).Columns.Count
        n = n * dim_sizes(i)
        dim_counters(i) = 1
    Next
    ReDim products(1 To n, 1 To max_cols)
    For i = 1 To n
        carry_one = True
        num_col = max_cols
        For num_dim = UBound(range) To LBound(range) Step -1
            For j = range(num_dim).Columns.Count To 1 Step -1
                products(i, num_col) = range(num_dim).Cells(dim_counters(num_dim), j)
                num_col = num_col - 1
            Next j
            If carry_one = True Then
                dim_counters(num_dim) = dim_counters(num_dim) + 1
                If dim_counters(num_dim) > dim_sizes(num_dim) Then
                    dim_counters(num_dim) = 1
                    carry_one = True
                Else
                    carry_one = False
                End If
            End If
        Next num_dim
    Next i
    CartesianProduct = products
End Function

Example (note that the first dimension has two columns):

Rabbi Akiva would say… All is foreseen, choice is granted, and the world is judged in kindness.
Man's free will and his ultimate judgment is examined in the context of G-d's omnipotence.
One can fulfill G-d's will while eating by allowing his body, his soul, and the food to be dominated by a transcendent perspective.
An English translation of Chapter Three of Ethics of Our Fathers, also known as Pirke Avot.
A person's deeds are embedded in the soil of supra-rational faith and commitment, and nourish his understanding of himself, his world and his G-d.
Would You Like to Judge Yourself?
The only power on earth or heaven that can judge man is man himself.


Growing older is inevitable and with age we experience many unwanted changes in our bodies, most noticeably a difference in our appearance. The texture of our skin alters as it begins to lose collagen – the protein in our bodies that gives the skin its strength and elasticity. We might see an increase in the lines and creases of our face and a downturned mouth. At Skin Renu we understand how important it is to look as good as you feel, and Thermage™ is a revolutionary skin rejuvenation treatment aimed at helping you achieve just that. Considered the gold standard in skin tightening, Thermage™ acts to stimulate collagen beneath the skin's surface resulting in the appearance of tighter, smoother skin.
Thermage™ is a non-invasive radiofrequency therapy suitable for ageing skin on many areas of the body. The process is simple. It uses a combination of heat energy and cooling effects. The heat treats the deep tissue, while the cooling protects the surface of the skin and makes the procedure more comfortable. By simultaneously remodelling existing collagen and stimulating the production of new collagen, the treatment smooths and tightens the skin's contours. Thermage™ is most effective on the face, smoothing lines and tightening the skin around the eyes, giving a lift to the mouth and jaw line. It is also used to improve skin texture around the lips, on the stomach, arms, thighs and buttocks.
Thermage™ delivers anatural look with just one treatment, skin is tightened, with the skin appearing healthier and smoother. As there is no downtime after the treatment, you can easily fit it into a busy lifestyle. The procedure takes 45 to 90 minutes (depending on the area of the body to be treated) and no follow-up appointments are necessary. You will be advised to continue with your usual skincare regime. Subtle results can be visible immediately, however over the following two to six months further improvement is experienced as new collagen continues to form, smoothing and tightening the skin. Thermage™ can be a great alternative for those who are looking to avoid injectable treatments as it assists your own collagen production – and collagen is the key to a youthful appearance.
Here at Skin Renu Sydney you will experience a relaxed and discreet atmosphere with caring professionals who understand the importance of feeling comfortable in your skin. Our cosmetic doctors and nurses are highly professional and dedicated to helping you achieve a rejuvenated look.

Sir John Johnson, soldier, Loyalist, public servant (b at Mohawk Valley, NY 5 Nov 1742; d at Mount Johnson, near Montréal 4 Jan 1830). He was the son of Sir William JOHNSON and heir to the Johnson family's massive Mohawk Valley estates. With the outbreak of the American Revolution, he moved to Montréal and organized and commanded the 2 battalions of King's Royal Regiment of NY, a Loyalist Provincial corps.
In March 1782 Johnson was appointed to command the British Indian Department, a position he held until 1828. He assisted in resettling the Loyalists, especially along the upper St Lawrence. Appointments to the legislative councils of Québec in 1787 and Lower Canada in 1796 followed. During the WAR OF 1812, he commanded the Six Township Battalions of Québec Militia.
