Fury as BBC demands anti-Semitic bus attack victims reveal identities
Fury as BBC demands teenagers who suffered anti-Semitic abuse in Oxford Street bus attack should reveal their identities before it responds to legal complaint over report suggesting victims used 'anti-Muslim slurs'
Video earlier this month showed men hurling abuse and spitting at Jews on a bus
Incident treated as a hate crime by police and condemned by the Prime Minister
In its original report, BBC News said 'racial slurs about Muslims could be heard'
Independent report by forensic audio experts and linguist said this was untrue
Responding to victims' lawyers, BBC asked them to identify their clients
The BBC has demanded that teenagers who suffered anti-Semitic abuse in Oxford Street should reveal their identities before the corporation responds to a legal complaint over its report suggesting victims used 'anti-Muslim slurs'.
Last month, a video emerged of a group of men hurling abuse and spitting at a group of Jewish teenagers sitting inside a bus, before banging on the windows as it pulled away.
The incident was treated as a hate crime by police, but in its original report of the incident, BBC News said 'racial slurs about Muslims could be heard inside the bus'.
The claim was criticised by the Board of Deputies of British Jews and the Campaign Against Anti-Semitism and lawyers acting on behalf of the victims, who 'categorically deny' the slur was said, wrote to the corporation to contest it.
In response, the BBC said: 'We will be unable to substantively further progress your legal complaint until you identify your clients.'
Leading legal expert Lord Carlile said the BBC's demand was 'wholly unacceptable', while Jonathan Turner, executive director of UK Lawyers for Israel, accused the corporation of 'attempting to intimidate the youngsters into dropping the claim', the Jewish Chronicle reported.
The incident on Oxford Street in December was treated as a hate crime by police and was condemned by the Prime Minister and by the Mayor of London
The men were seen shouting abuse and gesturing at the bus after the teenagers got on board
It comes days after Rabbi YY Rubinstein, a contributor to BBC programmes including Good Morning Sunday and the Thought For The Day, resigned in a letter to the corporation.
Jewish broadcaster resigns from BBC over 'inexcusable' anti-Semitism
by Dan Sales
A Jewish BBC broadcaster resigned after the corporation's coverage of an anti-Semitic attack wrongly accused the victims of making offensive Muslim slurs.
Rabbi YY Rubinstein, a contributor to BBC programmes including Good Morning Sunday and the Thought For The Day, quit via a letter.
He released it on Facebook, addressed to a member of staff, only known as Gabby.
The letter said: 'The current crisis over anti-Semitism at the Corporation and its attempts to turn the victims of the recent anti-Semitic attack on Jewish children in London and claim that the victims were actually the perpetrators, was and is inexcusable. The obfuscation, denial that followed, was and is utterly damning.
'The Simon Wiesenthal Center in Los Angeles actually includes the BBC in its annual global anti-Semitism, 'Top Ten'.
'This does not in any way reflect on your own production company whose own record in this regard is exemplary. It also does not apply to many of the individuals I have worked with at the BBC over three decades.
'They were among some of the most courteous, kind and talented people I ever met or worked with. The same applies to you and your colleagues.
'I simply don't see how I or in fact any Jew who has any pride in that name can be associated with the Corporation anymore.'
His letter, which he released on Facebook, addressed a member of staff, only known as Gabby, and said: 'The current crisis over anti-Semitism at the Corporation and its attempts to turn the victims of the recent anti-Semitic attack on Jewish children in London and claim that the victims were actually the perpetrators, was and is inexcusable. The obfuscation, denial that followed, was and is utterly damning.
The Board of Deputies of British Jews commissioned its own independent report by forensic audio experts and a linguist which concluded there were no anti-Muslim insults.
It found the phrase thought to be a slur was actually a Hebrew phrase, 'Tikrah lemishu,ze dachuf' meaning: 'Call someone, it is urgent.'
Writing in the Jewish Chronicle, Board of Deputies President Marie van der Zyl described the BBC's 'misreporting' as 'a colossal error', which 'has added insult to injury in accusing victims of antisemitism of being guilty of bigotry themselves'.
She continued: 'What takes this from an egregious failure to something far more sinister is the BBC's behaviour when confronted with its mistake. Instead of admitting it was wrong, it has doubled and tripled down.'
Ms Van der Zyl demanded the corporation publicly apologise, and said the Board of Deputies would be holding a meeting with Director General Tim Davie later this month, which will include 'a full and frank discussion of this issue'.
She said the corporation's behaviour 'raises serious questions about deep-seated biases within the BBC towards Israelis, and indeed towards Jews in general'.
At the end of last month, the BBC stood by its report of the incident, and a spokesman said: 'Antisemitism is abhorrent. We strive to serve the Jewish community, and all communities across our country, fairly.
'Our story was a factual report that overwhelmingly focused on the individuals the police want to identify; those who directed abuse at the bus.
'There was a brief reference to a slur, captured in a video recording, that appeared to come from the bus. We consulted a number of Hebrew speakers in determining that the slur was spoken in English.
'The brief reference to this was included so the fullest account of the incident was reported.'
MP Theresa Villiers, who is also vice-chairwoman of Conservative Friends of Israel, told the Jewish Chronicle that the 'BBC's reporting of this shocking incident falls below the standards of impartiality' expected from it.
She said the situation had been 'made worse by the corporation's failure to correct its article and by its defensive and unhelpful response to the complaint from lawyers acting for the victims'.
Tory MP John Whittingdale said the issue has 'left a damaging stain on the BBC in the eyes of the Jewish community'.
Hundreds of Jews gathered outside Broadcasting House for a protest about the story two weeks ago, with attendees holding banners and chanting 'BBC News where's the proof!' and 'BBC News tell the truth!'
Dame Maureen Lipman encouraged people to join the demonstration 'because you care, and you will be demonstrating against my often-times employer asking for parity with other victims of racism, prejudice and abuse'.
It came as the BBC was ranked third – behind Iran and the Palestinian terror group Hamas – in a 'Global Antisemitism' list compiled by the Simon Wiesenthal Center in the US.
The men banged on the windows and spat at the bus as it pulled away from Oxford Street
Footage showed the group of Jewish teenagers dancing as they celebrated Hanukkah moments before the attack
Rabbi Marvin Hier, the head of the centre, said the BBC was 'guilty of several incidences of antisemitism during the past year'.
He told the Mail on Sunday: 'People might assume we would put neo-Nazi groups on our list but the BBC is there because when a globally recognised organisation allows antisemitism to creep into its reporting, it makes it all the more insidious and dangerous.
'People around the world trust the BBC and rely on it for truthful reporting of world events.'
Rabbi Hier said the decision to include the BBC on the annual list had come 'after months of intense debate and discussion'.
He singled out the broadcaster's reporting of an attack on a bus carrying Jewish teenagers by a group of men who chanted anti-Israel slogans.
The attack took place on Oxford Street in Central London and video footage appeared to show a group of men shouting threats, spitting, hurling abuse and banging on the bus's windows.
The incident was treated as a hate crime by police and was condemned by the Prime Minister and by the Mayor of London.

Q: AEM6 CQ how to handle Component Development and Content Authoring happening at the same time? I just started at my new job and found myself right in the middle of a big project using Adobe AEM CQ, which I've never used before. Currently there are developers creating and tweaking components while content authors are busy authoring about 65 pages of content using those components.
Obviously, every time a component changes someone needs to update all the authored content with the new component changes. This is a huge time-waster as it seems like the only way to do this is through a custom made script that looks for nodes in the xml files and tries to convert them to the new component specs. Sometimes this is not even possible and authors need to re-author tons of stuff and lose lots of time.
Can anyone with AEM experience please let me know if:
1) There is a more painless way to migrate authored content to new components?
2) There is a better way to have developers and authors work simultaneously?
I know that the ideal way is to develop components first, and then author on top of those but it seems unrealistic especially with a big client project where things change all the time.
Thanks

A: Firstly, it sounds like a business process problem.  The components should be fully developed and fully tested before content is being added by the authors.  If the edits to components are so different that you're having this problem, i would recommend having functional and technical requirements written before the build starts.
With that said, the Groovy console for AEM is an excellent tool for updating nodes and content within an AEM site.  Take a look at it here: https://github.com/Citytechinc/cq-groovy-console

A: I would not agree that content production should happen after all the components where developed. It's beneficial, especially when the content production will take a lot of time, to start it while the development is happening.
On the other hand I completely agree with the other part of the answer. Groovy Console is a way to go, when dealing with content migration (both before Go Live and after, during BAU process). Ideal situation is where all the current content can be mapped to data in new version of component. Then you should be able to migrate all the content with scripts. If that's not the case then you can't run away from authors putting the content manually.

A: Definitely components should be fully developed before their usage.
But if you want to change something specific in a component which will remain same for the entire website just like logo component or header component you can look into the Design Dialog.
So advantage of it is:
If you have already done authoring for n pages, when you change the component using Design Dialog it will be automatically reflected in all the pages wherever the component is being used.

A: AEM is a CMS where content is your data is put it in simpler terms. If your development process is such that data is inconsistent with the UI after every release then your delivery process might be at fault. You can use the following ways to make things better:

*

*Make components backward compatible with the data

*Make components version-able, i.e. new versions of components work with new models of data and it's left to the user to use new versions.

*Provision for data or component migration in your project plan.

In practice, most AEM implementation make components backward compatible and provide an upgrade path to new versions. This is not a technical problem, it's more of a project governance issue.

This post is resurfacing so don't want people to get wrong idea from the current state of answers (and some answers that should be comments IMHO) but the approach in general to deal with components and releases is not a technical problem of the platform.

He didn't get necessarily smarter–he got more experienced. Sometimes we all need a little practice with figuring out what we really want–not in terms of our "ideal spouse" but a real flesh-and-blood human.
And spending intentional one-on-one time—not too serious, just time—allows both parties to experience what it would be like to continue in the relationship. Physical touch/intimacy should correspond with commitment. This doesn't mean anything goes if you are engaged. What is your motivation -- power and control, gratifying your own ego, meeting a selfish need, or genuine affection? If you feel convicted of certain behaviors, stop doing them.A wise man once told me that there were only two outcomes for dating relationships: getting married or breaking up."The secret," he said, "is knowing how to handle a dating relationship so you know if the other person is worth marrying or he or she is honored in the breakup." Unfortunately, it seems like many young singles struggle to figure out just how to handle dating–and I'm not the only one who's noticed how weird the Christian dating scene can be."My daughter was interested in this nice Christian boy, but he strung her along for a year and a half.The next one did too." Or, "Jeremy acted like they were friends but she told me later that they were hooking up on the side." With that kind of dismal dating culture at play, let's consider the options: First, there's "Duggar Dating." Duggar dating is the modern-day form of arranged marriages.At the opposite extreme, there is "Faux Christian Dating"—in which young Christians have no idea what to do with dating, so they avoid it. "Hanging out" leads to all kinds of mixed feelings. Stop evaluating whether the new girl at church is hot enough and "low-maintenance" enough for your liking.If you take notice, if you are intrigued or interested, make a date! We are talking about one afternoon or evening together, not a lifetime.You can't maintain 10 flirty friendships and expect to make space in your heart for one awesome husband or wife.But you can start somewhere—slowly, and casually—and trust God to lead you into more. Go deeper with articles covering faith, culture, life, and more in each collectible issue of RELEVANT Magazine.
" Obviously, the technology and bandwidth didn't exist back then to pull off this sort of thing, but this is definitely the new evolution of it, making cybersex so much more interactive like you always wished it would have been.
Taking notes, I was bewildered by how incoherent the explanation was, but tons of people clapped at the end, making me think, "maybe I just don't get it." But having been in the industry since 2012, I do get it.

TIBCO and Liferay Announce Strategic Partnership
Market leaders create lightweight EAI strategy for customers
Los Angeles, CA — (April 29, 2013) — Liferay, Inc., a recognized leader in the enterprise portal market, today announced a multi-phase partnership with TIBCO Software Inc. that will deliver significant benefits to enterprises at significantly competitive prices. Available Q3 2013 for purchase from Liferay is a series of Liferay enterprise Connectivity Adapters (eC Adapters) that leverage TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks™ to simplify integration of Liferay Portal with SAP, Microsoft Sharepoint, JD Edwards, Peoplesoft, Lotus Notes, and Siebel, among others.
"Liferay Portal is a sophisticated, enterprise-ready platform that combines well with our innovative TIBCO solutions," said Tom Laffey, Executive Vice President of Products at TIBCO. "We anticipate both ecosystems to benefit from our aligned strategies to solve important issues for our customers, and within the industry."
Following the availability of the Liferay eC Adapters, Liferay's partner ecosystem will be able to leverage the same cost advantages for developing turnkey business solutions that integrate into backend systems using the TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks adapters and plugins. Each solution will contain a portal-based application that can connect through BusinessWorks to backend systems, providing a complete solution at a significant price advantage.
"This partnership addresses a specific market need: enterprises are looking to simplify integration, but direct integration, even if between two leading solution providers, does not follow architectural best practices —this partnership brings customers an independent, open architecture, so they can retain flexibility in their long-term IT decisions," said Paul Hinz, Chief Marketing Officer at Liferay, Inc. "Liferay's customers and community will value the leading capabilities of TIBCO's solutions and TIBCO's customers will appreciate Liferay's portal features and community strength."
The Liferay eC Adapters will be available in Q3 2013. The two companies also plan to offer additional support packages and sales support for joint efforts in the future.

This powerful little vaporizer boasts touch sensors on either side that activate the heating element. In just three seconds or less the unit will reach a temperature of 400F. A LED light on the front of the vaporizer turns green when the unit is ready to produce vapor. Dry herbs placed in the heating chamber are actually heated as you inhale, producing a stronger draw and a more robust flavor. There are six built-in temperature presets: 340F, 360F, 380F, 400F, 420F, and a special temperature setting for concentrates. All of the settings can be adjusted remotely via the use of a smartphone app developed by Firefly to permit an incredible level of precision that puts you in complete control.
A feature of the Firefly 2 by Firefly that vapers are sure to love is the included charging dock. The unit has a built-in battery which will yield from 40-80 draws depending on your level of use, and when it is time to recharge you simply place the vaporizer in the charging cradle which connects via a Micro USB to your smartphone or tablet for quick charging. This unit comes with an extra battery so that you will always have a full charge at the ready. An all-glass vapor path is used to preserve the pristine delivery of vapor, and the mouthpiece uses a particulate filter to reduce the presence of debris and foreign matter that can affect the taste of a vape and the overall volume of vapor. The lid of the unit is magnetic and can be easily removed, making cleaning the vaporizer an easy task.
Firefly Vapor was founded in 2012 by Mark Williams and Sasha Robinson. The original Firefly Vaporizer enjoyed immediate success and was praised by Wired Magazine and the New York Times because of its innovations, user-friendly function, and reliability. In 2014, Firefly became the only vaporizer company to ever win the prestigious Good Design Award which is presented annually by the Chicago Athenaeum Museum to a company that takes product innovation to new heights. Both Williams and Robinson are very passionate about dry herb vaporizers, and they work tirelessly to produce devices that do a better job of rendering cleaner, purer vapor.
While you are shopping GotVape.com for a Firefly 2 by Firefly, take some time to check out our full line of vaporizers and accessories for vaping dry herbs, essential oils, and concentrates. We cater to this niche of the vaping community and can relate to their specific needs in a device. We also have a friendly and knowledgeable customer service staff that is happy to answer any questions you may have about this vaporizer or any of our other products.
Nothing beats a true convection. Better flavor, no waste, smooth, efficient! Very easy to clean. Great with concentrates. I am a big fan of this vape. It's a magical device. The only downside is that a full load doesn't last me and my friends when we are out and about, so I only use it with waxes when I have to go on excursions. It's expensive, but well worth the money.
Got lots of draws from a single charge, good flavor, a bit expensive but overall great product.
overpriced garbage!!!! super hard to hit for minimal vapor! maybe the one i purchased is defective?

Area of geometric figures are very common in Civil Service Exams and also other types of examinations. Area is basically the number of square units that can fit inside a closed region. In a closed region, if all the unit squares fit exactly, you can just count them and the number of squares is the area. For example, the areas of the figures below are 4, 10, 8 and 20 square units.
The figures blow are rectangles (yes, a square is a rectangle!). Counting the figures and observing the relationship between their side lengths and their areas, it is easy to see that the area is equal to the product of the length and the width (Why?).
where is its area and is its side length.
There are also certain figures whose areas are difficult to calculate intuitively such as the area of a circle, but mathematicians have already found ways to calculate the areas for these figures.
Challenge: Find the area of the green and blue figure below and estimate the area of the circle.
Below are some formulas for the most common shapes used in examinations. Don't worry because we will discuss them one by one.
Triangle: , is base, is height.
In this series, we are going to discuss the areas of the most commonly used figure in examinations and we will discuss various problems in calculating areas of geometric figures. We are also going to discuss word problems about them. Questions like the number of tiles that can be used to tile a room is actually an area problem.


We are daughters of a Heavenly Father who loves us, and we love him….
We say this every Sunday and yet we still pick at ourselves and compare ourselves to everyone (we think) that looks better then us.
Not "Remember the worth of Souls is great in the sight of God;" except you, or except my hair color, my hair, my toes, my legs etc.
Each pair is different, I need every pair I have, would I wear my hiking boots to prom? would I wear my stilettos on a hike?
each have its own unique purpose!
So it is in our Heavenly Fathers kingdom- he needs each of us to be different from each other- because he has different purposes for us.
Point out that we do not all have the same talents, abilities, or potential, but each of us has something that we can do well. We need to find our own unique qualities and build on them. We need to have sufficient confidence in ourselves that we can improve. We can begin by thinkingthat we can succeed.
Stop it with all the Stinking Thinking!
Heavenly Father has given you special gifts. Read 1 Corinthians 12:4–12; 13;Moroni 7:12–13; 10:8–18; and Doctrine and Covenants 46:11–26. Ask a family member, a Young Women leader, and a friend to write down positive qualities the Lord has given you. List your gifts in your journal, and write how you can continue to develop these gifts and use them to serve your family and others.
This, I found on Pintrest and you can use the link above it to go to the site- it is a great way to see what others see in you.
Cute. Thanks for the ideas!
This is perfect for our spa night, thanks!


At a rally Tuesday night in Westfield, Indiana, presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump did not name the state's Gov. Mike Pence (or anyone) his running mate. But he continued to emphasize his "law and order candidate" credentials in the wake of recent police killings of Louisiana man Alton Sterling and Minnesota man Philando Castile and a mass shooting of police at a peaceful Black Lives Matter march in Dallas that killed five officers and wounded nine other people.
In what he told the crowd was a personal, pre-prepared reflection on the three incidents, Trump said the videos of Sterling and Castile's deaths were "tough to watch" and that "we have to figure out what happened," but warned "the hostility against police has to end, and it has to end right now."
"Our whole nation grieves and mourns for the loss of five heroes in Dallas law enforcement — these were great, great people," Trump said. "We pray for their families. We pray for their loved ones. We pray for all the wounded survivors. We pray for our country. So important.
"The police are not just part of our society, they are the best of our society." Later, in a somewhat offbeat reference to one of his favorite catchphrases, Trump added, "We can never forget the hundreds of thousands of great deals and great things police across our country do."
"Remember this, and I say it once, and I say it with love, and I say it with compassion," Trump continued, "... but I am the law and order candidate. We need law and order, and we need strength in this country."
Trump hits Clinton on ISIS: "She's the one who created it. With stupidity. With stupid, stupid policy."
Clinton, Trump says, "directly and indirectly created ISIS."
He also chewed out former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, who flopped in primary races against Trump earlier this year, for criticizing him in a recent MSNBC interview.
Trump talks about "THE PLEDGE" and notes that it "doesn't say subject to change."
In a flippant reference to Pence, a widely rumored possible alternative to former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich for Trump's VP slot, Trump remarked on the Pence's chances by asking the crowd, "Who the hell knows?"
"I don't know if he's gonna be your governor or your Vice President! Who the hell knows?!" #DonaldTrump says of #MikePence.
Elsewhere, Bloomberg Insider's Jennifer Jacobs reported insiders say the public will have to wait until Trump's big reveal.


[13:38] <helix84> mhwood: would you agree with my conclusion in DS-1938 ?
[13:42] <mhwood> Yes, I think so. A security hash *might* be a good choice for detecting corrupt storage, but I don't actually know that, and in any case there are methods specifically designed for that purpose which probably serve better.
[13:43] <helix84> speaking of which, do you see an easy way for us to use some ECC?
[13:44] <mhwood> The case of BitstreamStorageManager is different yet again. There the hash is used to generate a unique (we hope) name for a file, as well as to distribute thousands or millions of files across filesystem structures in a statistically even pattern. Again, a security hash might serve well but I don't really know that, and we might consider other methods to see if they are better suited.
[13:45] <helix84> mhwood: spreading the values evenly is the goal of all hash functions. So either there already was such a test done or we can treat them all equally.
[13:45] <mhwood> I would let storage experts handle most of that stuff. At the level that DSpace operates, I think it's best to support detection and replication, so we can discover that it's time to recover from another copy.
[13:47] <mhwood> Crypto hashes have other goals, so the distribution of the outputs might be lumpy. I simply don't know how well they serve as general hashing functions. Likely well enough; my point is simply that I don't *know* this. Somewhere at home I have an entire book on error-detecting and -correcting codes (which I still intend to read someday! :-) so I think it is not a simple subject.
[13:50] <mhwood> Anyway, if someone gets interested in reviewing BitstreamStorageManager, he should consider whether the goals are sensible, and then select methods that match those goals. Switching it to SHA2 might not buy us much, compared to the effort required.
[13:51] <mhwood> Likewise we should use error-detecting codes to detect errors. I think it unlikely that any crypto hash would serve *better* than purpose-built EDCs.
[13:53] <mhwood> You've sparked a thought, though: I wonder whether any of those fancy new filesystems have methods for reporting errors to *applications*? So the filesystem could send DSpace a message: /var/lib/dspace/assetstore/aa/bb/cc/ddddddddddddddddddddddddddd is corrupt.
[13:54] <mhwood> Commentary is probably the best place we have for this. It already exists and is close to the code.
[13:55] <mhwood> There's always the possibility of an error with one more bit than any given algorithm can recover.
[13:55] <mhwood> Highly unlikely but not probability zero.
[13:56] <mhwood> Oh, well, if the incidence is low enough then manual methods would be the most economical.
[13:56] <helix84> mhwood: so during read (requested by the app or otherwise) the FS sees corruption by comparing the data to the checksum in FS metadata, it will either use an ECC or fetch the data from a replica on another stripe, correct the original copy or reallocate blocks and return the correct data to the application.
[13:59] <mhwood> DSpace is already doing far more than most applications, to detect damaged files.
[14:01] <mhwood> Yes. And, come to think of it, having multiple layers checking up on each other is what preservation needs.
[14:02] <mhwood> Fixity of a video stream for 100 years is a bit different from ensuring that a 4096-bit disk block is the same today and tomorrow.
[14:13] <mhwood> I've briefly commented on Ds-1938.

Diastasis Recti: Will You Need Surgery?
If you're exercising and your postpartum pooch is still not improving, it may be time to consider surgery to heal your diastasis recti. But remember: it's no minor procedure!
A few weeks after I delivered my twins, I discovered I had diastasis recti, a gap in my abdominal muscles that resulted in a rounded pooch. At that time, my ob-gyn said it would likely continue to improve, but probably not to my satisfaction, in which case I might want to consider surgery.
Given that diastasis recti is mainly considered a cosmetic concern, each mom's "satisfaction" will vary, of course. But here's a general idea of when surgery might be a reasonable route to take after a devoted exercise regimen fails to yield the results you want.
Sign up for our daily Parents newsletter!
Experts agree that exercise can help improve diastasis recti. Focus on movements that pull the abdominals in, like abdominal compressions, pelvic tilts, toe taps, heel slides, and single-leg stretches.
The key is to keep your belly pulled in and your core tightened, rather than letting it bulge out, as might happen in a traditional crunch or plank. If you see your belly rise up in a dome or mountain-like formation vertically along the midline of your abdomen, stop the movement. It could exacerbate the condition, says Kevin Brenner, M.D., F.A.C.S., a board certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon based in Beverly Hills.
You may do these exercises on your own, with a physical therapist, or with the help of an at-home exercise program like the Mutu System, Tupler Technique, or The Dia Method, which are specifically designed to help (and not hurt) moms with diastasis recti. "Make sure to give yourself adequate time with physical therapy," says Ben Butts, P.T., director of rehabilitation services and Performance Therapy at Providence Saint John's Health Center in Santa Monica, California. "The body takes time to heal, and results are gradual." So remember that as eager as you are to see results, patience is the name of the game here.
If your condition is severe, or not improving to your satisfaction after exercise, you may consider going under the knife to correct your diastasis recti. But "only consider surgery if conservative treatment of therapeutic exercise and physical therapy has failed," Butts says.
You'll also need to figure out if your diastasis recti is truly problematic. Butts says the separation should be at least as wide as two centimeters, or two finger widths, for you to be a candidate. "Also, consider if your diastasis recti is actually causing you pain. Is your motivation for surgery purely cosmetic versus functional? You have to consider post-surgical pain that you would have as well."

Surgery to repair diastasis recti is substantial and should not be undertaken lightly. Technically, an operation that serves to repair diastasis recti is known as a tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty. "However, it's not a one-size-fits-all operation," says Dr. Brenner. Some patients only need to have the muscle tightened, which can be done through an endoscopic-assisted modified tummy tuck. "Essentially, the muscle can be tightened from a bikini-line incision. This may require removal of a small amount of skin, but will not require an incision around the belly button," he says.
You might hope -- or even reasonably expect -- that muscle repair would be a procedure covered by insurance, but typically it's not. "Repair of diastasis is a cosmetic procedure," says Dr. Brenner. The reason? With diastasis, unlike with a hernia (which is an actual hole or defect in the abdominal wall), there's no possibility of the intestines getting stuck inside and damaged, Dr. Brenner explains. In other words, if you can live with how you look, you can generally live with diastasis recti.
If you do opt for surgery, you'll need to make arrangements for a significant recovery period. Expect to have limited mobility for one to two weeks post-op before you start getting back to your normal routine. Heavy lifting and core exercises will be restricted for about five to six weeks after surgery, and it will take much longer for the swelling to completely subside and for the scars to flatten, soften, and fade -- about six months to a year.
Leah Keller, creator of The Dia Method, shows you how to check for diastasis recti (or abdominal separation) and discusses exercises that have been proven to treat it.

Q: How to use opacity on image hover? When I use the opacity on image hover. It only getting lighter or dimmer but not darker.
I have tried to increase the number of opacity to make it darker, but not success. Below is the code block that I have tried to make the image become darker on hover:

Image of opacity applied on my current try

I expect the image will become darker on hover.
Expected result

A: They way to use opacity is by the other side you are trying. 1 opacity means that element is full opaque, "opacity: .5" means half opacity, so you will see you element half transparent and the color of the element behind the image and thats your result.
A quick, better and easy way to get that effect is using filter propierties of css.

Here is the example at Codepen:
https://codepen.io/ChemaAlfonso/pen/ROJNev
hope it helps you

A: Style opacity = 0.5 will make the image become dimmer but not darker. To make the picture become darker on hover, we set the background div containing the picture to dark. Thus, when hovered the picture will dimmer and with the black background, it will make the picture looks darker.

In the code above, I just set the containing div with black background.

A:
On mouse hover use background-color: rgba(black, 0.5); instead of opacity: 0.5;

Scientist Takes On Malaria-like Sickness In Horses
Submitted by Old Site on Thu, 2012-08-30 04:46
PULLMAN, Wash. - When Washington State University and U.S. Department of Agriculture veterinary scientist Don Knowles got word three years ago that a rare but deadly infection was discovered among a group of horses in south Texas, he felt a jolt of adrenaline. Not only were the horses infected with a parasitic disease similar to malaria in humans, but the epicenter of the outbreak was at no ordinary ranch.
It was the King Ranch, legendary for its world-class quarter horses, including former winners of the Triple Crown and Kentucky Derby. The 825,000 acre family-owned estate that stretches across four counties is one of the largest and most famous ranches in the world. "Anyone who knows anything about quarter horses knows about this ranch," said Knowles. "Universally, it's on the map for the best horses and cattle." One King Ranch horse had tested positive for the disease when the federal government first alerted Knowles. A few days later, it was a dozen; then four dozen. "The number just kept going up," recalled Knowles at his WSU office, where a large photograph of Appaloosa horses in a field punctuates one wall and a road bike leans against another. Knowles, in his silver-rimmed spectacles, hiking shorts and athletic shoes, resembles someone more at home on a bike trail than a scientist at the beck and call of deadly, infectious animal diseases that pull him to regions near and far. "This kind of outbreak had never been seen in this country before," he said. "People were asking 'What's going on down there?'" And so, at the request of federal agriculture officials, Knowles boarded a plane and headed south to investigate. As leader of the USDA's Animal Disease Research Unit at WSU, he had a Texas-sized riddle to solve. Parasitic storm
Equine piroplasmosis is so feared in the U.S. that the government bans horses that test positive from entering the country. Until the outbreak in Texas, only a few sporadic cases had ever been reported. "We had regarded piroplasmosis as a foreign animal disease and suddenly here it was on U.S. soil, with not one or two cases but nearly 300 – all concentrated at a ranch recognized for exemplary management practices," said Dudley Hoskins, an attorney with the American Horse Council in Washington, D.C., at that time. "To say we were concerned would be an understatement." Piroplasmosis, also called equine tick fever, is transmitted to horses through the bite of a tick that carries either the Babesia caballi or Theileria equi parasites in its saliva. Similar to malarial parasites that infect humans, these pear-shaped creatures travel through the horse's circulatory system, multiplying, drilling through red blood cells and multiplying some more. Knowles, also a professor of microbiology and pathology at WSU's veterinary college, teaches his students about it. "I tell them that one of their responsibilities as a veterinarian will be to prevent piroplasmosis and how an outbreak could result in a great loss of horses and deal a severe blow to the horse industry," he said. "Once the parasite becomes established in the tick and equine population, it could spread quickly as horses are transported to equestrian shows and races around the country." No treatment, painful options
Many infected horses exhibit little more than cold-like symptoms, but in regions where piroplasmosis is uncommon - such as the U.S. - horses have no natural resistance to the disease. Unimpeded, the parasites proliferate and destroy blood cells, triggering fever, anorexia and anemia. "If a horse dies of piroplasmosis, anemia is often the cause," said Knowles. "It's a progressive process and a miserable way for an animal to die." Before the outbreak in 2009, no standard treatment existed. If a horse tested positive for piroplasmosis, the owner had three government-mandated options to keep the disease from spreading: euthanize, quarantine or ship the horse out of country. "Our horses are vitally important to us," said King Ranch manager Dave Delaney by cell phone from the ranch, 45 miles southwest of Corpus Christi. "The idea of euthanizing them was out of the question. "Many of us had heard of piroplasmosis but had never dealt with it," he said. "So when Don got here, whenever he spoke, believe me, people paid attention." On the trail
Long before Knowles boarded that Texas-bound plane in autumn 2009, he knew a lot about piroplasmosis. The periodic clusters that surfaced in temperate-climate states such as Florida proved the parasites sometimes slipped across the U.S. border in horses that had tested negative for the disease when, in fact, they were positive. Because the test sometimes gave false negatives, Knowles was charged with developing a more reliable diagnostic test. He also was instructed to create a standardized treatment to kill the parasites. "Until Texas, much of the work had been done in the lab," he said. This means that, after Knowles and his team arrived at King Ranch, "you might say we provided him with a real-world case to test the effectiveness of his preliminary work," said Delaney. Hungry vectors, vulnerable hosts
Armed with two decades of piroplasmosis research and a team of scientists from his USDA unit and WSU, Knowles not only contained the outbreak but he and colleague Glen Scoles also identified a new blood-sucking culprit that had spread it. "Prior to that outbreak, we knew of two tick species capable of transmitting the disease. There, we discovered a third," said Knowles. He and his team identified the cayenne tick as the predominant carrier, a finding so important that the group later published a paper about it in the journal Emerging Infectious Diseases. It's likely a cayenne tick snagged a ride on an infected horse years before the outbreak, drawing parasites in through its blood meal then moving on, injecting and infecting other horses, said entomologist Scoles who, after the outbreak, proved that the cayenne species was involved. The outbreak at King Ranch "could have coincided with climate factors which, in turn, caused an increase in tick numbers," said Scoles. "They saved our horses"
All said and done, Knowles and his team did more than identify a new eight-legged transmitter of piroplasmosis and develop an internationally accepted test to diagnosis it. "How about, 'They saved our horses?' " said Delaney of King Ranch. With high doses of imidocarb dipropionate, a drug used to treat certain diseases in cattle, "The parasites appear to be eradicated. All of our horses are healthy," he said. The outcome of administering the drug was so successful that, after subsequent trials, it is now being evaluated as a standard treatment protocol in the U.S. "If approved for use, the treatment would offer a way to clear horses of infection," said Hoskins, who has followed Knowles' research. "This would be huge." Which means that, largely because of Knowles' work, the owner of a piroplasmosis-infected horse may have the option of curing the animal – and then one day watching it flash across a meadow or even a finish line.

Transphobic "Bathroom Bill" Introduced in TN Legislature
Nashville, Tennessee – A bill making the use of a bathroom by transgender persons a punishable offense is making its way through the Tennessee Legislation, according to Daily Kos. Transgender people are put in an insidious double-bind by the proposed bill: if passed, it will fine a person for the use of a restroom if the sex on that person's birth certificate does not match the assigned sex of the toilet, while Tennessee does not allow for the sex assignment on a person's birth certificate to be changed. The "Bathroom Bill" imposes a monetary fine on offenders – $50 – but the fine is the least of the legislation's harm to transgender people. As Daily Kos and the Huffington Post point out, this bill would embed structural discrimination against a class of people into state law, much as sodomy laws did before the Lawrence v. Texas ruling of the U.S. Supreme Court struck them down across the nation in 2003.
The Volunteer State has entertained some of the most regressive, homophobic laws in the nation, typified by the reprehensible "Don't Say Gay" and "License to Bully" bills, and as long as the radical, extremist right wing is in power in the state, the cavalcade of bias-driven laws is unlikely to stop. The "Don't Say Gay" bill bans use of the words "gay" or "homosexual" in a Tennessee public school classroom (while, as Signorile says, "pervert" or "sodomite" are fine!) to prevent teaching or discussion about same-sex issues. The "License to Bully" bill, if passed, would offer protections to students who attack the legitimacy of homosexuality as a normal human variation–in effect offering cover to people who wish to bully LGBTQ students.
In a major national survey issued in October 2011, the first of its kind, transgender people in the United States were shown to be the object of discrimination in every sector of life. The Report of the National Transgender Discrimination Study, "Injustice at Every Turn," noted that "It is a part of social and legal convention in the United States to discriminate against, ridicule, and abuse transgender and gender non-conforming people within foundational institutions such as the family, schools, the workplace and healthcare settings, every day." This amounts to a colossal moral failure in American life, and the Tennessee bill is of a piece with this systematic and structural bias-attack on transgender people.
The ACLU decries anti-transgender "bathroom bills," seeing such laws as fundamentally violating non-discrimination laws. Social advocacy groups within the state, such as the Tennessee Transgender Political Coalition (TTPC), are opposing the bill, which was introduced by State Senator Bo Watson (R) to make Tennessee, in the words of Think Progress, "a particularly unfriendly place for transgender people." The text of the "Bathroom Bill" may be accessed here.
As transgender advocate Ryan Sallans, writes in his popular blogsite, "I'm thinking of all you folks down in Tennessee. When is this sh*t going to stop? I just wish politicians didn't exist, the world would be a better place. Communities should just sit down and talk, get to know each other, respect their differences and understand we all are just trying to live and make it mean something in a challenging world." When will the sh*t stop, indeed! (Thanks for links to Dr. Jason Lamoreaux).

Gay Couple That Changed the World: John Lawrence and Tyrone Garner Remembered
Tyrone Garner (l) and John Lawrence celebrate Lawrence v. Texas.
Houston, Texas – Lawrence v. Texas, set in motion by a couple of accidental gay activists, broke the back of anti-sodomy laws in the United States. What they did amounts to the "Brown v. Board of Education for gay and lesbian America," according to Harvard constitutional law expert, Laurence Tribe. Yet when John Geddes Lawrence, aged 68, died on November 20 of heart disease at his home in Houston, no mention of the landmark Supreme Court decision was made in the obituary or at his funeral. Tyrone Garner, the other half of this remarkable couple, had preceded Lawrence in death back in 2006. Only when a lawyer in the case, Mitchell Katine, called Lawrence to invite him to a ceremony commemorating the law-changing decision, did he receive word of Lawrence's passing from his life-partner, according to the New York Times. Katine let the rest of the world know that an inadvertent giant in the struggle of LGBTQ equality had died.
Lawrence and Garner were arrested on September 17, 1998 for sodomy in a private home by Houston Police. The police had been called in to investigate a false weapons report by a jealous former lover of Lawrence's, who admitted he had falsified the report as an act of revenge. Nonetheless, the arrest went down, and Lawrence and Garner, who had hooked up earlier that day, were thrust by events upon the stage of history. Lawrence was angry at the arrest, feeling that his privacy had been violated unjustly. That anger was a fire in his belly that saw the case through lower courts to the U.S. Supreme Court for its decisive ruling of June 2003, striking down anti-sodomy laws in fourteen states. Writing for five of the six Justices on the prevailing side, Justice Anthony Kennedy declared, "The petitioners are entitled to respect for their private lives. The state," he continued, "cannot demean their existence or control their destiny by making their private sexual conduct a crime." A compilation of documents and the text of Lawrence v. Texas, provided by Justia.com, the U.S. Supreme Court Center, may be accessed here.
We cannot overestimate the significance of John Lawrence and Tyrone Garner's decision to fight back against an unjust law. So much hung in the balance. They were not professional activists, the rainbow-flag-waving kind. They were simply two gay men, attracted to each other, whose right to privacy was trampled by a legal system that upheld a heterosexist status quo. One black, one white, this gay couple set the wheels in motion for every forward step in human rights since 2003: the passage of the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act in 2009, the repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell in 2010, and its full implementation by the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the Secretary of Defense, and President Barack Obama in 2011, and the whole raft of same-sex marriage laws passed on the state level around the nation.
Professor Dale Carpenter, who wrote a recent book on Lawrence v. Texas, interviewed John Lawrence. In conversation, this unassuming naval veteran and obstinate gay man asked Carpenter, "Why should there be a law passed that only prosecutes certain people? Why build a law that only says, 'Because you're a gay man you can't do this. But because you're a heterosexual, you can do the same thing'?" Tyrone Garner told the Houston Chronicle in 2004 that he took quiet pride in the role he played in history. "I don't really want to be a hero," Garner said. "But I want to tell other gay people, 'Be who you are, and don't be afraid.' "
Sometimes a couple of men get mad, and dig in, and the world changes. That is what the LGBTQ community owes John Lawrence and Tyrone Garner. Because of their courage, the United States justice system has changed forever.

How Did Hange Die in Attack on Titan? (& Who Killed Her)
Updated November 1, 2022 by Ernie
Every single Attack On Titan episode leaves us hanging on our nerves wondering which character will be killed off next, hoping that it doesnt turn out to be Mikasa, Levi, Jean, or I dont know, Armin.
For now, all of them are safe, however, there is one scout that began to see the end of the road.
She or he, that character is actually confusing, can be compared to a mad scientist. When she was first introduced, she claimed to want to make friends with the Titans and at the same time enjoyed torturing them for her experiments, quite disturbing.
When she smiles, she appears all friendly and nice, however, she does have a few loose screws and can turn into some monster that might show up in our nightmares one day.
Extremely intelligent, very bright, creative, and overflowing with imagination, she is a genius who invented many revolutionary weapons for the Survey Corps and is responsible for the survival of many of the scouts out on the field.
She is a game changer during the most catastrophic times the scouts have to face. Her tactical plans might be crazy but never fails to deliver results. She is impressive, to say the least.
Check out: Is Hinata Dead? or Will She Die In The Future? (Naruto/Boruto)
Whats even better is that despite being a peculiar nerd, she is also super strong. She mastered her gear to perfection. Her kill record is off the charts. She is respected in the Corps, looked up to, and fully trusted by the higher-ups as well as her Nakama.
They entrusted the fate of Paradis Island to her more than once and as you can see, after all this time they are still standing.
Enough of how badass that woman is and if you didnt guess who Im talking about yet, its Hange, the truth is, she doesnt last till the end of the series. Yes, she was killed, she died, and it broke my hearts and now Im about to break yours.
HANGE ZOË'S DEATH IN ATTACK ON TITAN EXPLAINED
How did Hange Zoë die in Attack on Titan?
Hange Zoë was up against two Titans during the War for Paradis Arc. Normally, killing them wouldve been a piece of cake, however, her body was in a terrible condition!
She managed to get close enough to her target to sever their nape using one of her inventions, the Thunder Blades, and killed them.
Suffering from terrible burns, she withstood the pain long enough to see the flying boat take flight and then passed away right after due to her severe injuries.
However, the truth behind her death is much more complicated than that (Attack On Titan Manga: Chapter 132).
The truth behind Hange Zoë's death
At the moment, enemies became allies and teamed up to stop Eren from committing worldwide genocide.
In order to catch up to him, they need to embark on the flying boat that is protected by Erens followers.
They managed to secure it, however, there is still one step left before takeoff, they need to pump it full of gas.
Hange along with her comrades is defending the ship while the engineers took care of the technical issues.
The inert body of Flosh was lying next to them. Believed to be dead they paid him no mind and that mightve been one of their greatest mistakes.
Although he was fatally injured, he found the strength to shoot his gun at his enemies, killed in a second after being impaled by Mikasa at lightning speed, he at least managed to hit the fuel tanks that were right behind them (Attack On Titan Manga: Chapter 132).
It didnt explode if thats what you thought, but the gasoline that was crucial to the plan was leaking out and the engineers said that they will need at least a full hour to close the holes.

The Colossal Titans were approaching, someone had to buy time for the others to finish their tasks, and guess who volunteered, all of them actually… All of them were ready to sacrifice themselves to see their plan succeed
However, Armin, Annie, and Reiner were crucial pieces that could not be lost. Levi and Mikasas skills were also desperately needed as for the others theyd get flatted in no time, so the most logical choice was to let Hange do it.
As her last act, she appointed Armin as Erwins successor and made him the fifteenth commander of the Survey Corps. To ease the tension, she even told him that he could now order the proud Levi around as much as he wanted.
That said, she took off watching from above her comrades as they filled the reservoir of the boat and started its engines.
I dont know if you remember what the Titans who were released by the Rumble looked like. They were gigantic and steam was coming out of them. The temperature of their body is extremely high and anyone who would get too close to them could suffer severe burns.
So, when Hange managed to kill some of them, it wasnt without consequences, unable to handle the temperature, she was gravely injured in the process.
However, thanks to her noble sacrifice, the boat was now up in the air. Free to give in to the pain after fulfilling her duty, she closed her eyes for the last time.
She was welcomed in the other by her fallen comrades, even Erwin was among them. They praised her for a job extremely well done, she worked hard and now it was time for her to rest.
Worrying about what had happened to those still alive, they reassured her telling her that they are safe for now, the plan was a total success thanks to her.
Now appeased, she could fully enjoy the amazing feeling of being reunited with all the people that she lost and began to narrate for them the adventures she experienced in their absence (Attack On Titan Manga: Chapter 132).
Was it necessary for Hange to die?
Technically speaking, her sacrifice wasnt entirely necessary. First of all, she wasnt the only one who couldve stayed behind. Levi, Mikasa, Reiner, or Armin, all of them wouldve had higher chances of victory and survival.
However, the lives of those characters were just too valuable. They are the best and most powerful fighters around, and they will need all the firepower available to put an end to Erens plan.
Second of all, Im sure they had other options. They couldve thought of another strategy, but that would require time and that strategy mightve ended up too risky.
In the end, it was just that Hanges suggestion was the quickest and most effective way of holding back the Titans until the takeoff.
The loss was huge, but the end game was worth it. Hange died with no regrets and what she found on the other side was actually beautiful.
No more fighting, no more blood, no more killing, she strategy and is now watching from above how everything will end alongside her dear comrades that she lost during the war.
Who killed Hange?
Its more like what killed Hange? Since I described the chapter pretty accurately, I dont think I need to tell you that the Titans killed her.
However, if you look at it from another perspective, you could say that she killed herself. In the end, she knew from the beginning it was a lost battle. She sacrificed herself of her own volition making it a sacrifice more than anything else.
The titans were the weapon, but she was the one who aimed and pulled the trigger (Attack On Titan Manga: Chapter 132).
In what episode did Hange die?
You all probably finished watching the Attack On Titans anime by now and know that she is still alive in the series.
Normally, you will witness her death in the season 4 which will soon be airing, of course, the episode is yet unknown, we arent mediums in the end.
In the manga, that scene will appear in the chapter called The Wings of Freedom, its equivalent to the 132nd chapter or Volume 2 chapter 35 of the manga.
Hange was by far the brightest character of the series. Super unique, she had a special something that no one else had, something that made her relatable, thus, loveable.
She was also really funny, her sarcasm was on point, and always hurt where it should in the most hilarious of ways. I mean without her and Sasha, the series wouldve been gloomy as hell.
Oh, I think its a bit too late now, but I completely forgot to warn you that there were gonna be major spoilers in the blog, but I think its okay, you came here prepared right? RIGHT?!
Now that you have the answer to your question, its time to end this thing. Thank you for reading this far, I hope you enjoyed this little article. Farewell, my Otaku friends, lets meet each other again in the next blog.
Lets see whos next on the blacklist. I bet it will be Armin we will see leaving the show, what do you think guys?

FEATURED ARTISTS:
Korean master Chun Kwang Young presents sculptural mulberry paper compositions from his acclaimed Aggregations series, which is the subject of a solo exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum opening November 16. For his Aggregations, he wraps small triangular forms in antique mulberry paper, forms inspired by childhood memories of medicinal herbs tied into packages and hung from the ceiling of the local doctor's office. Chun's preference for mulberry paper or hanji is significant, as it embodies the essence of Korean history and imparts an almost spiritual power, even in its most mundane applications. Chun sources his hanji from century-old books, which further imbues his work with formal elements of Korean culture.
Pakistani-American artist Anila Quayyum Agha, showing at the gallery for the first time, presents wall-mounted laser-cut encaustic paper works embellished with embroidery and beads. The intricate pieces are framed in shadow boxes, allowing light to pass through the cut-outs and cast patterned shadows.
As a special presentation, one of Agha's large-scale immersive light installations will also be on view. The artist laser cuts elaborate patterns into suspended three-dimensional cubes lit from within, which cast lace-like, floor-to-ceiling shadows. The designs allude to the richly ornamented public spaces, such as mosques, Agha was excluded from as a female growing up in Lahore, Pakistan.
Agha's work will also be on view alongside other internationally recognized artists, including El Anatsui, Kerry James Marshall and Carrie Mae Weems, in Parking on Pavement, presented at The School, Jack Shainman's upstate exhibition space in Kinderhook, New York, Nov. 17 to March 2, 2019.
New York-based artist Miya Ando is showing works on paper that offer nuanced interpretations of the ephemeral, abstract metal paintings she is known for. This selection is from her Gekkou series, inspired by the moon—a celestial body that emits no light of its own, but casts brilliant reflections from the sun. Here Ando incorporates silver leaf into a palette of soft pinks, yellows and blues to express the subtle, light-reflective qualities of moonlight. These radiant new works expand on the artist's interest in light, reflection and time.
Ando's work was recenlty on view alongside paintings and installations from Kandinsky, Motherwell, Frankenthaler and Warhol in True Colors, an exhibition at the Nassau County Museum of Art.
The works of Delhi-based Scottish artist Olivia Fraser are rooted in the artist's fascination with and practice of yoga and the ways in which yogic meditation involves visualizations of the garden, particularly the sahasrara or thousand-petaled lotus, which serves as a visual aid in reaching enlightenment. Greatly influenced by early 19th-century Jodpuri painting, Fraser's intricate, gem-colored works on traditonal wasli are infused with historical iconography and archetypal language.
Classically trained calligrapher Hassan Massoudy inscribes oversized letters in vibrant colors on paper to create visually compelling works that bring traditional Arabic script into a contemporary context. The Iranian-born, Paris-based artist sources words from Eastern and Western authors, poets and philosophers. He selects a passage, which he writes at the bottom of the composition, then extracts a single word, enlarging it to monumental proportions across the surface.
Massoudy's work is also on view in Infinite Present: Revelations from Islamic Design in Contemporary Art though November 10 at Gallery 344, Cambridge Arts Council, Massachusetts.
Ricardo Mazal, one of Mexico's most prominent contemporary artists, is known for his multidisciplinary work inspired by investigations into sacred burial rituals. He is showing abstract, photo-based prints of tumbleweeds he shot at night using a flash. For Mazal, photography is an important impetus to his painting process, which he likens to a bridge that links reality and abstraction.
Mazal just closed a major retrospective at the Center for Contemporary Arts in Santa Fe. The exhibition showcased large-scale paintings, photographs and an interactive video installation.
Sohan Qadri (d. 2011) was one of the few modern painters of note deeply engaged with spirituality. On view are his vibrant, sculptural paintings made from thick intaglio paper which he would carve in stages while applying inks and dyes. In the artist's hands, paper was transformed from a flat surface into a three-dimensional, near textile-like material.
To create his sublime waterfall and cliff images, Japanese painter Hiroshi Senju combines a visual language rooted in Abstract Expressionism, graffiti and drip painting, with traditional Japanese materials, including bespoke washi (mulberry paper) from a master papermaker in Japan and pigments made from minerals, ground stone and shells. Because gravity plays a significant role in how he applies pigment to paper, the physical properties of washi—its strength, ability to resist tears when damp, and its smooth surface—are integral to the artist's process.
Senju recently completed two monumental paintings for Kongobuji Temple at Koyasan, Japan. These epic works celebrate Koyasan's 1,200th anniversary. The paintings will tour major museums throughout Japan until they are installed as fusuma (sliding doors) in 2020.

Q: Is it practical in an application to download data from an external web resource when local data isn't available? Awhile ago I came across a script that basically fetched a list of countries/states from a web resource if it wasn't located in a database, and this script would then populate the database with those contents and from then on, rely on them from then on.
Since I'm working on a localization class of my own, I'll be using the same locale data Zend is using, in the form of around ~60 or so xml files which contain localised data such as countries, languages for locales.
I figure since the framework I'm working on will rely on these files from now on ( where it isn't now ), and none of the servers now have this data, should I:

*

*Setup my web application to download these files from a central server where all the content is stored in a .tar.gz, unpack them, store them on the server and then rely on them

*Create a separate script to do this, and not actually do this within the application.

Pseudo code:
if ( !data ) {
    resource = getFile( 'http://central-server.com/tar.gz' );
    if ( resource ) {
        resource = unpack( directory, resource )
        return true
    }
    throw Exception('could not download files.')
}

A: if this is a library, i would probably have this be part of the setup steps. an error can be printed if data isn't there.

A: Have an install script do the downloading, or throw an error if its not available.  Downloading as requested from the server could lead to timeouts and would likely turn away users.  fsockopen is the easiest way to do this and deal with sockets by hand if you don't have CURL setup and can't fopen/fread remote files.

A: I would go for the first option iff the data needs to be contantly updated, otherwise I would choose your second option.

Here is a method I developed some years ago, that was part of a GeoIP class:
function Update()
{
    $result = false;

    $databases = glob(HIVE_DIR . 'application/repository/GeoIP/GeoIP_*.dat');

    foreach ($databases as $key => $value)
    {
        $databases[$key] = basename($value);
    }

    $databases[] = 'GeoIP.dat.gz';

    $date = date('ym');

    if ((!in_array('GeoIP_' . $date . '.dat', $databases)) && (date('j') >= 2))
    {
        if ($this->Hive->Filesystem->Write(HIVE_DIR . 'application/repository/GeoIP/GeoIP.dat.gz', file_get_contents('http://www.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/GeoIP.dat.gz'), false) === true)
        {
            $handler = gzopen(HIVE_DIR . 'application/repository/GeoIP/GeoIP.dat.gz', 'rb');

            $result = $this->Hive->Filesystem->Write(HIVE_DIR . 'application/repository/GeoIP/GeoIP_' . $date . '.dat', gzread($handler, 2 * 1024 * 1024), false);

            gzclose($handler);

            foreach ($databases as $database)
            {
                $this->Hive->Filesystem->Delete(HIVE_DIR . 'application/repository/GeoIP/' . $database);
            }
        }
    }

    return $result;
}

Basically the Update() was executed every single time, it would then check if the day of the month equal or higher than 2 (MaxMind releases GeoIP databases on the first day of the month) and if a a database for that month didn't existed already. Only if both these conditions where true the method would download, unpack, rename the database and remove all the old databases from previous months.
In your case, since you're dealing with locales, doing a periodical check similar to this once in a while might not be a bad idea, since countries change stuff (names, currencies, calling codes, etc...) a lot.

What's included with a chandelier replacement?
Why should I get a pro for chandelier installation?
There are a few reasons it's a great idea to hire a professional to do your chandelier installation. The most important reason is that your chandelier installation will require correctly hooking into your home's electrical system. A pro can handle the electrical part correctly for your chandelier installation, as well as bracing the chandelier correctly to make sure it doesn't fall after the chandelier installation.
What do I need to do before my chandelier replacement appointment?
Please make sure you have on hand the chandelier to be installed, and that it's assembled and ready for the chandelier installation work. When the pro arrives, they'll need to see the fixture that will be removed to make room for the new chandelier, the ready-to-install chandelier, and the wires and cords that came with it. If you have ceilings over 10 feet tall, please tell your pro in advance, because the job may require a special ladder, additional safety equipment, and an additional fee. Also, if your specific chandelier installation requires additional parts or labor to complete, the pro will let you know if there's an additional cost.

'I'll Wait Here' is the debut single from Melbourne folk artist Anna Cordell and this is one track you'll want to get your teeth into.
With the likes of Vance Joy, Courtney Barnett and Little May rising through the ranks on blogs, Anna Cordell fits nicely with the folk trend coming up at the moment. There's also a Bat For Lashes kind of vibe going on here too which we are absolutely loving.
I love the minor key and unresolved open chords. Writing songs in the minor seems to elicit an unspoken melancholy. The unresolved open chords are moments asking for resolution. They have the possibility of being led in a new direction…eventually this can resolve on a major chord the moment of reprieve, hope, relief.
Anna Cordell is performing at The Grace Darling every Thursday in June 2015, starting Thursday June 4. Her debut EP (produced by Dave Manton at Little and Olver) gets launched in August 2015.
Keep your eyes and ears on Anna Cordell.


Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) Secretary Silvestre Bello III and other labor officials are set to discuss Tuesday the possible impacts of the filing of bankruptcy by South Korean shipbuilder Hanjin Heavy Industries and Construction Corporation on its workers.
"The emergency meeting is to discuss the possible measures that will help cushion the impact of the Hanjin issue," Bello said in an interview with the media on Monday.
The shipbuilding company has filed for corporate rehabilitation before a regional court in Olongapo City after the slowdown in the global shipping industry.
Some 7,000 employees of Hanjin are feared to lose their jobs.
Meanwhile, a labor group urged the government to intervene in the impending closure of Hanjin, the largest ship builder in the country.
"We urge the government to intervene and save the jobs of thousands of workers, many of whom are highly trained and highly-skilled particularly in welding," lawyer Sonny Matula, chairperson of Nagkaisa Labor Coalition, said in a statement.
"We highly recommend that government takes over the financial rehabilitation and operation of the shipyard," he added.

Die Hymne der Georgischen SSR (georgisch:საქართველოს საბჭოთა სოციალისტური რესპუბლიკის სახელმწიფო ჰიმნი) wurde von 1946 bis 1990 als Hymne der georgischen sozialistischen Sowjetrepublik verwendet. Der Text stammte von Grigol Abaschidse und Alexander Abascheli. Die Melodie komponierte Otar Taktakischwili. Alle drei Strophen des Originaltextes erwähnten den Namen Stalins. Im Rahmen der Entstalinisierung wurden alle Bezüge auf Stalin entfernt.

Text auf Georgisch
იდიდე მარად, ჩემო სამშობლოვ,
გმირთა კერა ხარ განახლებული,
დიად პარტიის ნათელი აზრით
ლენინის სიბრძნით ამაღლებული.

შენი ოცნება ასრულდა,
რისთვისაც სისხლი ღვარეო,
მშრომელი კაცის მარჯვენით

დიდი ოქტომბრის დროშის სხივებმა
შენ გაგინათეს მთები ჭაღარა,
თავისუფლებამ და შემართებამ
გადაგაქციეს მზიურ ბაღნარად.

მოძმე ერების ოჯახში
ამაღლდი, გაიხარეო,
მეგობრობით და გმირობით
გამორჯვებულო მხარეო.

უხსოვარ დროდან ბრწყინავდა შენი
აზრი, ხმალი და გამბედაობა,
დღეს საქართველოს ნათელ მომავალს
სჭედს ლენინური წრთობის თაობა.

კომუნიზმის მზე დაგნათის,
კაშკაშა, მოელვარეო,
იდიდე მრავალჟამიერ,
ჩემო სამშობლო მხარეო.

Text auf Russisch
Славься в веках, моя Отчизна,
Обновленный очаг героев;
Ты светлым разумом великой партии
И мудростью Ленина возвышена.

Сбылась твоя мечта,
За которую ты кровь проливала,
Неутомимая рука труженика
Тебя к расцвету привела.

Сияние знамен Великого Октября
Озарило твои седые вершины,
Свобода, мужество и доблесть
Превратили тебя в солнечный край.

В братской семье народов
Ты достигла невиданных высот,
Дружбой и силой всенародной
Побеждала ты и побеждаешь.

С незапамятных времен блистали
Твой разум, твой меч и твоя отвага.
Сегодня светлое будущее Грузии
Кует поколение ленинской закалки.

Солнце коммунизма сияет
Все ярче над тобой,
Славься в веках, моя Родина,
Мой край родной!

Übersetzung ins Deutsche
Ehre sei dir ewig, mein Vaterland
Eine neue Heldenschöpfung
Durch den segnenden Geist der großen Partei
Und Lenins Weisheit wurdest du erhoben

Dein Traum ist wahr geworden
Für den du dein Blut vergossen hast
Die unermüdliche Hand eines Arbeiters
Hat dich zum Wohlstand geführt

Die leuchtenden Banner des großartigen Oktobers
Haben deine uralten Gipfeln aufgeleuchtet
Freiheit, Mut und Kühnheit
Hat dich zu einem sonnigen Land gemacht

In der Familie der brüderlichen Völkern
Hast du unerreichbare Höhen erreicht
Durch Freundschaft und landesweite Stärke
Hast du gesiegt und wirst siegen

Seit vor langer Zeit haben geleuchtet
Dein Geist, dein Schwert und deine Tapferkeit
Jetzt erschafft die Generation von Lenins Wut
Georgiens Erhabenheit und heitere Zukunft

Die Sonne des Kommunismus leuchtet
Heller und Heller über dich
Ehre sei dir ewig, mein Mutterland
Mein Heimatland!

It helps when you're one of the best in the world at what you do though, and despite all the fights that he's already logged, we may not have seen his best yet.
"I feel like I'm in my prime now," Mousasi said. "After the Jacare fight I was in good shape, even in my last fight, even though I lost. I feel that physically, I'm stronger than ever, so I'm very confident going into this fight."
"This" fight is a Saturday co-main event against fellow 185-pound standout Thales Leites, and after his loss to Souza in September of 2014, it's safe to say that Mousasi's belief that he's in his prime is spot on.
Just look at the year he had in 2015, where he had two solid wins and a bad 25 seconds against Uriah Hall. He chuckles at that description, but believes it as well, as his quest to defeat Hall in September after wins over Dan Henderson and Costas Philippou was on its way to a successful conclusion following a dominant first round in Japan. But early in the second round, Hall pulled off a spinning back kick that stunned Mousasi. A follow up barrage of strikes ended the bout and put his winning streak to rest.
"It's a fight, anything can happen," Mousasi said of just the sixth loss of his 45-fight career. "But it sucks to accept that loss. Sometimes you lose and you just lost. That fight, that was a big loss, and especially the first time I lost that way. But I know what I'm capable of and what I see in training, and it can happen to anybody. If you fight long enough, one time you will see a kick or a punch that you've never seen, and someone will eventually lose even if they're much better. I don't think about that fight a lot because it can happen to anybody. But I know I was dominating, so it gave me confidence that if that thing didn't happen I would have probably won. But it's a fight, so you never know. I've had losses before and I came back, so it's nothing different."

Mousasi is not a rearview mirror kind of guy. What matters is now, not yesterday. And even with all his past success, none of that matters on Saturday against Leites, a fellow old school battler who is looking to bounce back from a recent loss, his against Michael Bisping.
"He's a tough guy," Mousasi said of the Brazilian veteran. "He's good everywhere, so I'm coming prepared. I feel like I should definitely be in the top five, so I know I should be able to beat Leites. Technically I'm much better, so I'm gonna fight, and if it comes that it's even, then I can always brawl and go fight with him. But other than that, I feel like I'm much more technical than him, so I have a lot of advantages."
If he uses them, he can get this year off to the same start he had last year. And that's the plan.
"In 2016, I'm trying to continue what I did in 2015," he said. "I'm in very good shape and I really do feel like I'm in my prime now, physically and mentally. In sparring, I had difficulties with some guys, but now I'm beating them up easily. (Laughs) If I can take those results and put them in the fights, then 2016 is going to be a great year."
The Downes Side: Fight Night London picks


With this code, we are setting a redirect with our server to run the experiment.
But when looking at the data, we found in GA that we only got data from the control group, not the variation group. After debugging, we noticed that the assign to campaign event did not fire when the users enter the experiment.
Does anyone know why this is happening and how we can fix it?
What does check_ga_referrer do? Is this where experiment information is sent to GA?
If the redirect happens before you send the experiment information to GA, then you need to make sure that whatever page they are redirected to is a page within the experiment.
the check_ga_referrer is just for our SEO effort.
We found that the Optimizely event "assigned to campaign" does not fire after the redirect. Is this the problem you were mentioning about the page not being in the experiment?
We think the event not firing is why we only have control group data in GA and not the variation group.
Do you know how we can solve this.
If the code you posted above runs before Optimizely has a chance to send the experiment information to GA (perhaps you have GA installed after Optimizely, which is the recommended approach to reduce flashing, etc.), then the user appearing in the experiment will NOT be sent on this page. To get around this, you should include the page you are redirecting to in your experiment.
Test group is redirected to "newpage"
if users can hit "newpage" outside of the experiment, then these users that access it directly will be randomly bucketed into A/B... so you may need to "wiggle" how you do things so that you are only capturing those users redirected as part of the experiment.
Sidenote: this ought not affect the users appearing in the experiment within Optimizely, since they place the information into a queue (inside localStorage - I think) which persists across pages and would then send on the next page hit on the same domain where Optimizely exists, even if the experiment is not running on that page.
With your example, do you mean I should add "newpage" to the targeting setup for the experiment?
or are you referring to another method to include pages in the experiment?
And since the information is placed in a queue, we can know that the redirected traffic to the "new page" won't be targeted and bucketed again, since they already have optimizely experiment information existing.
"do you mean I should add "newpage" to the targeting setup "
"we can know that the redirected traffic to the "new page" won't be targeted and bucketed again, since they already have optimizely experiment information existing"
It is working as expected! Thank you very much!
