Argentina crying out for CACHEBOX
ApplianSys is pleased to announce that our recently-appointed Argentinian partner Hitecno has already won several orders for CACHEBOXes to help internet service providers across the country save bandwidth and improve customer satisfaction.
As internet demand across the country rises, ISPs of all sizes face the challenge of keeping customers happy.
Hitecno CEO Dario Barab explains: "Many ISPs have internet links of around 200 Mbps, serving between 2000 – 4000 users at any one time. But as an increasing number of users demand larger objects, it puts strain on available bandwidth – leading to higher levels of latency and slow browsing for customers. That's why the need for caching is growing rapidly in Argentina."
An early Hitecno customer was nationwide service provider – Red Intercable Digital, S.A. (RIDSA). For an initial deployment to prove CACHEBOX to themselves, they bought a CACHEBOX230 from Hitecno to serve a group of customers connected over a 125 Mbps internet link.
Within two weeks of deployment it was seeing up to 45% peak savings; as a result more requests were being handled by its existing link.
Hitecno's Account Manager Francesc Amador comments: "CACHEBOX showed 24% bandwidth savings for popular sites like YouTube and Facebook, and up to 22% for Microsoft and Windows updates. They're really pleased with the results and the overall simplicity of CACHEBOX's user interface."
Following this success, Hitecno will be purchasing an additional 8 units for RIDSA, with further units for other ISPs in the country they believe will similarly benefit from CACHEBOX.
Hiteco (www.hitecno.com.ar) is located in, Buenos Aires, Argentina and supplies a range of network testing equipment including IP TV, Digital TV, CMTS and WiMax to medium and large ISPs across the country.
Red Intercable Digital (www.redintercable.com.ar) is an allianceof over 220 medium-sized service providers in Argentina. It was established in 1998 by a group of independent operators who envisioned a company committed to local autonomy, quality of service, technological innovation and customer satisfaction. Its roots are tied to the very origin of Cable TV in Argentina in the 60s. It has a national presence in over 580 locations in 21 provinces of Argentina, reaching over 610,000 homes.

and this is jquery codes...

but when i refresh chrome page. this collapse always open onload. but i wanna closed a collapsa. how am i do this.  by the way sorry for my english.

A: Just add an instruction to collapse all the panes on page load:

A: I am assuming that you want the panes to slideUp when the page first loads. The idea is to invoke the method that hides the panes when document is loaded and is ready to be manipulated.
$(function () {
  function doToggle () {
    $(".content").stop().slideUp();
    $(this).next().stop().slideToggle();
  }

  // bind the click event listener
  $(".title").click(doToggle);

  // hide the panes
  doToggle();

});

At various times over the last few seasons, the Royals have gone without a true backup shortstop on their roster. It's usually not for terribly long, but it's long enough that you at least wonder what would happen if the shortstop would go down. But for the Royals, the shortstop never went down. I'm not sure if you know this, but Alcides Escobar played a lot of games in a row and appeared in all 162 games for the Royals in three of four seasons from 2014 to 2017. His low from 2011 to 2017 was 148 and that was a year in which he was spiked and it looked for all the world like he'd be out for a long time. He missed a handful of games.
But now things are different. Escobar is no longer the shortstop. That title belongs to Adalberto Mondesi, who hit .276/.306/.498 last season. With the Royals, Escobar topped that average twice, that OBP twice and got within 100 points of that slugging percentage exactly zero times. So aside from being a considerably better option, he's also less durable. And that's not a bad thing necessarily, but I believe the Royals will treat Mondesi the way they treated Lorenzo Cain for most of his tenure. Sure, they'd love to get 150 games out of him, but I think they'll be happy with 135-140 in order to keep him and, in Mondesi's case, his back healthy from the beginning of spring to hopefully the end of October.
And what that means is an increased need for a backup shortstop on the roster. With Escobar, he wasn't coming out unless he was hurt in the middle of a game, which meant someone would play out of position for four innings and then they'd call someone up from Omaha. You just can't do that if you're planning to give multiple days off to your shortstop. Even if it's once a week, you want to have someone there who isn't drastically out of position and hurts the defense regularly.
There are a few names out there they can pursue. You know one of them. You're not going to like one of them. I don't like it either. I'll get to him last just because I don't want to get to him.
MLB Trade Rumors lists 12 players as free agents under the shortstop umbrella. I count another two or three who are non-tender candidates. Of those, maybe Tyler Saladino would be a bit, though it sort of depends on how the Brewers handle their free agents and Jonathan Schoop. Of the free agents, there isn't really a great option that jumps out to me other than the one I'm not going to mention for now. Asdrubal Cabrera, Freddy Galvis, Marwin Gonzalez, Jose Iglesias and Manny Machado all are obviously looking for starting jobs. Dixon Machado isn't very good. Neither is Gregorio Petit or Eric Sogard. Jose Reyes is scummy, so he's probably out. That leaves a couple players. Adeiny Hechavarria would fit as a strong defensive backup who would remind you a lot of that guy we're not mentioning. And I've mentioned Jordy Mercer before if he's willing to sign as a backup and for not too much money, though I think his market may be slightly more robust than I thought a few weeks ago.
This is always much tougher to gauge because it's just hard to say what a team is willing to do. For example, the Red Sox have three shortstops on their 40-man roster, so maybe they'd be willing to part with a player who doesn't have much of a path to playing time. That doesn't mean they'd just give up someone like Tzu-Wei Lin easily because he's shown way too much promise to just dump because there's a roster crunch. Maybe Ronald Torreyes could be had in a deal. He's been a backup for the Yankees for the last three years. As of now, he's very important with Didi Gregorious out for awhile to start the season, but if they go get Machado and don't move anyone, he becomes moveable. Another name to watch could be Charlie Culberson, though I don't know how keen the Braves would be to trade him at all after seeing him hit .270/.326/.466 for them in 322 plate appearances last season. But if they sign a third baseman or a shortstop and keep Dansby Swanson, the roster is getting awfully crowded.
An outside the box thought would require the Astros to re-sign Marwin Gonzalez and then turn around a flip Aledmys Diaz, who they just acquired from the Blue Jays. That would all depend on how they act and react in free agency, so it's just really tough to say there. Again, trade speculation is so tough that I hesitate to even name any additional names here just because it's so early in the offseason. But just know the possibility to go this route is out there.
Unless I've missed someone, there isn't really much out there in the Rule 5 at shortstop that would get me excited for the Royals to have to carry all season long. There is one player who I could see maybe possibly worth a shot and that's Drew Jackson from the Dodgers. He might not fit perfectly at shortstop, but I think he can handle the position well enough to play there once or twice a week. He hit .251/.356/.447 with an 11 percent walk rate and 22.7 percent strikeout rate that gives a bit of concern. He can really run. If he's left unprotected, I believe the Royals could do far worse than him as a backup infielder, and I think he can play the Rosell Herrera role well.
Okay, here we go. The Royals could bring back Escobar. While the fans were ready to move on after 2017, it sure seemed like everyone was ready after 2018, but he hit .326/.367/.442 the last two months of the season after he really became a backup player and even posted a walk rate of 6.3 percent. I'm not saying I like the idea. I'm saying these are the ways the organization would justify it and spin it. I mentioned Rosell Herrera, and I do believe that if he's going to stick on this 40-man, it'll have to be because he plays shortstop. He played 1.2 innings there in AAA last year, six innings there in 2015 and 346 in 2014, which is his last significant action at the position. He also hasn't played there in winter ball at all, spending most of his time in the outfield. I'm not saying he can't play short. I'm just saying he probably can't. Humberto Arteaga is a defensive wizard and he's coming off his best year with the bat and continuing to hit well in the Venezuelan Winter League. I don't think he's an especially strong possibility, but the organization really likes him. They could also add Jecksson Flores, who broke out in AA this season. He's really more of a second baseman, but a nice season could get him a shot on the 40-man and a crack at the big league roster.
And that leaves us with the one guy who could make this whole discussion moot. If Nicky Lopez breaks camp with the big club out of spring training, he's the guy. I imagine if he's up in the big leagues, he's there to play mostly every day and I would guess he'll play second and third and fill in at shortstop for Mondesi when he needs a rest. Lopez hit just .236/.314/.341 over the final two months of the season, so there is definitely no harm in letting him cook a little more in AAA to start the 2019 season. I believe the direction they go with regard to the backup shortstop position over the next couple months will tell us a lot about their thoughts on Lopez.
I know what you're thinking. That's a lot of words about a backup shortstop on a likely 90+ loss team, but hey, it's early in the offseason and with so much attention likely to be focused on the pitching staff, this is the one spot where they might look to be active with position players.
I can't believe I'm saying this but looking at some of the other options makes Escobar not seem half bad. The problem with bringing him back is he will get too much playing time. Whoever fills the role should only play when Mondie needs a rest, if Escobar is on the roster he will find his way to 400+ plate appearances.
Somehow Eric Sogard seems like he's meant to be a Royal and follow in the Chris Getz/Ryan Goins footsteps.
Richie Martin of the A's might make sense as a Rule 5 guy, although I'd rather go with a pitcher with the #2 overall pick.

Most persons will make their password as easy as 1-2-3 or A-B-C and therefore, make it easy for almost anyone to guess it. Most hackers gain access to password protected accounts simply by guessing the password or use a technique called "Brute-force Attack". This is why it is important not to use weak passwords. The "Brute-force Attack" technique is the most-used method of cracking passwords. This technique uses all the possible permutations of letters and numbers until the correct password is found.
How Long does it Take to Crack or Guess a Password?
If your password is 4 characters long and consists of lower case letters only, it will take approximately 456,976 attempts to guess your password.
If your password is 4 characters long and consists of numbers only, it will take approximately 10,000 attempts to guess your password.
If your password is 4 characters long and consists of lowercase and uppercase letters and numbers only, it will take approximately 14,776,336 attempts to guess your password.
If your password is 8 characters long and consists of both lowercase and uppercase letters and numbers only, it will take approximately 218,340,105,584,896 attempts to guess your password.
Looking at the statistics above, you will realize that if you use a combination of lowercase, uppercase letters and numbers, it makes your password harder to crack or guess.
The longer your password is, the harder it is for a "Brute-force Attack" to successfully guess your password.
To make your password even harder to crack or guess, you can add special characters (none numeric and alphabetic characters) like *, @, #, $, %, +, !, ? and others.
Although the number of attempts above seems very large, it will actually take between a few seconds to a day for a typical home computer to perform these operations.
Here are the most used passwords which are easily guessed.
Please avoid using these passwords because these are the first passwords a hacker will try to use to gain access to your account.
Please remember to change your password every three months or less and do not share it with anyone, even if a technical or customer service representative asks you for it.
In today's world, there are millions of persons online who use the internet daily to do business, and this number continues to grow daily. Hackers and scammers have a new territory where they can carry out their illegal activities and the only thing that stands between these internet users and cyber criminals is a password.


Coffee is the preferred choice used as a daily pick me up, the favorite beverage that's most commonly used to pump up the symptoms of low energy. Its activate ingredient caffeine, does is over stimulates the adrenal glands, this to inject the feeling of alertness.
But realize that this instant jolt, is just an illusion when it comes to an increase in energy, this because it activates the hormone adrenaline. Over time, what the excessive injection of caffeinated substances which enters the body, can cause is an adrenal addiction.
What this results in, is the glands will begin to naturally produce less adrenaline on its own, this until it stops altogether, which then leads to symptoms of chronic fatigue. The reason for this is because the adrenals fail to regenerate itself.
For those who are addicted to caffeine, and who's not, can potentially be on a dangerous slippery downward slide, and may need to reconsider their intake. This because it's believed that it can become more difficult to recover later on.
On a daily basis, what we appear is to be behind in everything that we do in this modern busy world that we live in, that we're "human doing" rather than "human being," this just to make ends meet.
So as a result, it becomes difficult for anyone to break a habit, this especially one like coffee, which most enjoy because of the benefits that it provides.
What breaking a habit itself, especially one that you enjoy, requires is substantially more energy to overcome it, this than to keep the habit itself.
What's also known is that it's a mental state of mind, an entirely mental battle with oneself, where we'll generally surrender to the familiar routines that we do, this rather than mustering up the strength or courage to break through and break that habit.
Mental fatigue is increasingly becoming more common, and it's become a huge factor when it comes to the overall energy of the body itself.
So just even thoughts about changing a habit does is requires energy, which can become tiresome for someone with chronic fatigue syndrome.
The general response, the biggest excuse to the thoughts of quitting caffeine, is that it's residual effects are needed for energy, and most would admit that it would be extremely difficult to survive their day, especially the morning without a coffee.
So it becomes the crystallized fear of fatigue which encodes the belief that one can't overcome it, or won't or can't do without it.
There are however ways to overcome fatigue itself, this particularly chronic fatigue, while also being able to recover from long-term caffeine addiction.
The effective progressive elimination of caffeine needs to be a programmed gradual process, this ideally a slow smooth transition to avoid the potential risk of the body going into shock.
The most common side effect of a strict elimination of caffeine, this especially after an extended period of use, are headaches from withdrawal, which is a clear indicator of addiction in the body.
Generally what's recommended is a sustained period over a month or two, which is a reasonable goal, this to set the foundation for the complete transition away from caffeine substances.
The most common culprits when it comes to caffeine content are coffee, tea, sodas, and chocolate, all which should be consumed in moderation.
However, once significant amounts are ingested on a daily basis as they can be, the body is then thrown out of its natural state of balance, away from the physiology of its energetic and physical state.
The contributing factors that's exacerbated by caffeine addiction can become compounding, as extended use can contribute towards complications of surface breathing, a lowered immune system, and hormonal imbalance.
Once becoming aware of these symptoms when reducing caffeine intake, will make the transition of withdraw a lot smoother.
Treatment for this or any related condition is often formulaic, which targets the combination of its root stresses that are responsible for its existence.
Surface breathing is how most breathe, which is often too shallow, and what changing breathing patterns does is requires a conscious effort.
It's well worth the discipline to breathe as deeply and efficiently as possible, this because what deeper breathing does is oxygenates the blood more efficiently, while facilitating the removal of toxins found in the blood stream.
Increased oxygen is a major factor which improves the entire bodily system, organs, and all the vital forces which are necessary for fully functioning holistic health.
Hormone imbalances in the thyroid, pituitary, and pineal glands are contributing factors for fatigue related issues. The hormones found in these glands become easily imbalanced, this because of the increased adrenaline in the system.
What results is their functions become interrupted by continual caffeine consumption. If it continues for long periods of time, this imbalance can become disruptive to all the systems in the body.
The immune system can be strengthened by improved deeper breathing, which removes toxins. If the immune system however has been suppressed for a long period of time, it may need immune enhancing substances for the body to regain its harmonious balance.
Getting proper rest, vitamins and minerals, and drinking plenty of water are the keys when it comes to restoring the body back to health, along with eating healthier.
Although natural nutritional remedies can be excellent aides for maintaining a healthy lifestyle, they shouldn't be substituted for the qualified care of a physician.
Considering both modalities becomes important however, this when seeking the proper cure for substance recovery.

Afcon 2019: Madagascar defeat was Super Eagles joker – Rohr
July 12, 2019 July 12, 2019 Isaac UmunnaComment(0)
The Eagles handler explains how their loss to the Barea has turned into a positive outcome in the long run. Super Eagles head coach Gernot Rohr has suggested the team's loss to Madagascar could be a blessing in disguise and the major reason they are still in the race for the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) title.
The Eagles were beaten 2-0 by the Barea at Alexandria Stadium in their last Group B encounter almost two weeks ago. Nigeria will next trade tackles with the Fennecs of Algeria in the semi-finals on Sunday in Cairo, and the Franco-German noted the defeat to Madagascar deflected pressure from the Eagles.
"The loss to Madagascar was our joker," Rohr told the media. "We could lose it because we had already qualified for the next round. "We wanted to allow others in the team to play as well.
"We can forget about the defeat to Madagascar now because we are through to the semi-final. Even the defeat helped us to be more humble and sometimes it is good also." The Eagles have beaten Cameroon and South Africa after the defeat to the Barea and they are only a win away from featuring in the final. Yahoo

Q: Qt: Trying to pass multiple references to a slot function after a signal is emitted EDIT: I have read Passing and argument to a slot it's helpful, but doesn't address my issue of passing multiple references to a function I called via a signal-slot.
I'm currently working on a Qt application that essentially is a unit converter. I'm implementing it using QDoubleSpinBoxes as the input and the output. I am running into an issue that i'm looking for help with. The implementation idea is that the user will input a value of whatever they want to convert and it will, upon the user losing focus on the spinbox or hitting enter, populate the other unit type boxes with the answer.
Here is how I currently do it:
// creates a custom spinbox for each option
modifiedSpinbox *FahrenheitDblSpinbox = new modifiedSpinbox();
modifiedSpinbox *CelciusDblSpinbox = new modifiedSpinbox();
modifiedSpinbox *KelvinDblSpinbox = new modifiedSpinbox();
modifiedSpinbox *RankineDblSpinbox = new modifiedSpinbox();

// Creates a signal mapper that allows passing of a parameter
// to the convert functions anytime a number is entered
QSignalMapper *tempMapper = new QSignalMapper(this);

// Connects the spinbox editing complete signal with the mapper
connect(tempMapper, SIGNAL(mapped(int)),
        this,SLOT(on_userInput(int whoSignaled)));
// Connects the mapper with the function that calls the convert class
connect(FahrenheitDblSpinbox, SIGNAL(editingFinished()),
        tempMapper, SLOT(map()));
tempMapper->setMapping(FahrenheitDblSpinbox, 1);

The way I would like to implement this conversion function is to, on user finishing their input into a spinbox, have the code send a signal (editingFinished()) to a slot function which calls a converttools class that has the functions needed to do the actual conversion. The problem that i'm running in to is that I cannot figure out how to pass references for these spinbox objects to my converttools class so that I can set the spinbox values directly.
The closest i've come is to use QSignalMapper (seen above) to pass a single int or Qwidget to my slot function, not the objects I want.
I would like some advice as to how to pass multiple references to my custom class after a signal is emitted. I've looked though numerous questions here and still cant seem to figure out how to do this or a better way i'm not seeing.
Thanks!

A: What you're looking for is:

*

*Signals to carry the QDoubleSpinBox's assigned temperature

*A conversion to a common temperature unit

*A Signal to all other QDoubleSpinBoxs to update them

*A conversion from common temperature unit to each QDoubleSpinBox's specific temperature unit

QSignalMapper is a bad choice here, because:

This class collects a set of parameterless signals, and re-emits them with integer, string or widget parameters corresponding to the object that sent the signal

So we cannot take in the assigned temperature. Instead lets start with a map<QDoubleSpinBox*, pair<function<double(double)>, function<double(double)>>> which will serve to map from a given QDoubleSpinBox to its "conversion to a common temperature unit" and "conversion from a common temperature unit", respectively.
We'll then build an object around this map looking something like this:
class SlotMapper : public QObject
{
    Q_OBJECT
    map<QDoubleSpinBox*, pair<function<double(double)>, function<double(double)>>> mapping;
public:
    SlotMapper() = default;
    SlotMapper(const map<QDoubleSpinBox*, pair<function<double(double)>, function<double(double)>>> mapping) : mapping(mapping) {};
    AddMapping(QDoubleSpinBox* key, function<double(double)> valueFirst, function<double(double)> valueSecond) { mapping.insert_or_assign(key, make_pair(valueFirst, valueSecond)); }
    void map(const double assignedTemperature) const {
        const auto commonTemperatureUnit = mapping.at(QObject()::sender).first(assignedTemperature);

        for(auto it = cbegin(mapping); it != cend(mapping); ++it) {
            if(it->first != QObject()::sender) {
                it->first->blockSignals(true);
                it->first->setValue(it->second.second(commonTemperatureUnit));
                it->first->blockSignals(false);
            }
        }
    }
};

This object should be constructed with all necessary conversion functions. in your case that probably looks something like:
SlotMapper mySlotMapper(map<QDoubleSpinBox*, pair<function<double(double)>, function<double(double)>>>{ {FahrenheitDblSpinbox, make_pair([](const double param){ return (param - 32.0) * 5.0 / 9.0; }, [](const double param){ return param * 9.0 / 5.0 + 32.0; })},
                                                                                {CelciusDblSpinbox, make_pair([](const double param){ return param; }, [](const double param){ return param; })},
                                                                                {KelvinDblSpinbox, make_pair([](const double param){ return param - 273.15; }, [](const double param){ return param + 273.15; })},
                                                                                {RankineDblSpinbox, make_pair([](const double param){ return (param - 491.67) * 5.0 / 9.0; }, [](const double param){ return (param + 273.15) * 9.0 / 5.0; })} });

As far as your connections, they'll look like:
connect(FahrenheitDblSpinbox, static_cast<void(QDoubleSpinBox::*)(double)>(&QDoubleSpinBox::valueChanged), &mySlotMapper, &SlotMapper::map);
connect(CelciusDblSpinbox, static_cast<void(QDoubleSpinBox::*)(double)>(&QDoubleSpinBox::valueChanged), &mySlotMapper, &SlotMapper::map);
connect(KelvinDblSpinbox, static_cast<void(QDoubleSpinBox::*)(double)>(&QDoubleSpinBox::valueChanged), &mySlotMapper, &SlotMapper::map);
connect(RankineDblSpinbox, static_cast<void(QDoubleSpinBox::*)(double)>(&QDoubleSpinBox::valueChanged), &mySlotMapper, &SlotMapper::map);

A: QSignalMapper is obsolete in C++11. It's only a band-aid against the cumbersomeness of declaring functors in C++98. If you're using a C++11 compiler, you never have to use QSignalMapper.
Lambdas make it trivial - and you really don't need to pass much. Side note: ideally, you should use a modern C++11 units library.
Here's a complete example:

Nukes in Nevada: Will Donald Trump Resume Nuclear Testing?
June 28th, 2020 - by The Economist & Sarah Bidgood / Foreign Policy
America's 28-year Moratorium on Setting off Nukes Is Looking Shakier than Ever
(June 24, 2020) — The cars drove an hour out of Las Vegas and lined up along the edge of the Yucca Flat on April 22nd 1952. They pointed towards the desert, as if it were a drive-in cinema. Newsmen, among them Walter Cronkite, had gathered for a killer performance: the first televised nuclear test, ten miles away at the Nevada Test Site.
"This is the greatest show on Earth," an army captain assured soldiers in trenches, there to practice storming across an irradiated battlefield, ahead of a similar test the next year. "You won't be hurt. Relax and enjoy it."
Over four decades, America's government conducted 928 nuclear tests in Nevada. The mushroom clouds could be seen from Las Vegas, where the chamber of commerce cannily issued tourist calendars with dates, times and plum viewing spots.
On September 23rd 1992, the ground shook for the last time. President George H.W. Bush, following the Soviet Union's example the previous year, joined a moratorium on nuclear-weapons testing that has been extended by every president since. Yet some fear that America's 28-year nuclear lull may be drawing to a close.. . . [Read the full report online — EAW]
A Nuclear Test Would Blow Up in Trump's Face
The Trump administration doesn't understand the brinkmanship concept its nuclear diplomacy is based on
Sarah Bidgood / Foreign Policy
(June 11, 2020) — The last 42 months have offered a sobering window into the Trump administration's philosophy on nuclear arms control. On display is its penchant for withdrawing from agreements rather than engaging in dispute resolution — be they the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty, or, most recently, the Open Skies Treaty.
While many experts see this approach as ill-conceived and damaging to US national security interests, the administration often frames it as a form of brinkmanship designed to signal resolve in an era of strategic competition. The intended message appears to be that the United States will no longer play ball unless its rivals — Russia and China — agree to abide by Washington's rules.
The latest example of this tendency comes amid reports that the administration might conduct a "rapid" nuclear test to strengthen its hand in negotiations with China and Russia. Experts around the world have denounced this proposal as dangerous, foolhardy, and "catastrophically stupid."
As they point out, were the United States to test for the first time in nearly three decades, it would open the door for the resumption of widespread explosive testing. At the same time, it would undermine the nuclear taboo, hurt the credibility of the nonproliferation regime, and diminish support for the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT).
While all true, these arguments are unlikely to sway this administration, which has shown little regard for existing norms or the disarmament machinery writ large.
What might give decision-makers pause, though, is the fact that a nuclear test is unlikely to be an effective signal in the current context. It would not help deliver President Donald Trump's goal of a trilateral arms control agreement, but it would provide ample opportunity for misinterpretation and a response in kind. In the process, it would likely put Washington in a worse negotiating position than when it started, making it not only risky but also pointless to boot.
There are a number of reasons why this is the case, the first being that effective nuclear signals communicate a credible intent to escalate if the demands of the signaler are not met. If a US rapid test is a signal intended to drive Russia and China to the negotiating table, it cannot then also be the consequence if they do not acquiesce.
Conversely, if the prospect of a US test is the signal and the test itself is the threat, then there is little reason to think officials in Moscow or Beijing will be especially compelled. Testing on US soil would put the health and safety of American citizens in jeopardy, but it would not convey new information about US capabilities that could change Russian or Chinese views on arms control.
Second, proponents of a rapid nuclear test may hope to signal that Trump is reckless in order to convince Beijing and Moscow to take his demands seriously. But more than three years into Trump's presidency, his unpredictability is hardly news, and a nuclear test is more likely to paint him as a pariah than someone who defies convention.
In the nearly three decades since the United States last tested a nuclear weapon, a robust international norm has developed against explosive testing, despite the CTBT not being in force. The only country that has tested in the 21st century is North Korea — and it has drawn widespread condemnation from the international community and the United States for doing so. If the administration wants to entice China to negotiate by promising it a seat at the "big kids table," it should be wary of sending signals that diminish the cache of this proposition.
Third, US doctrine already lays out in clear terms the circumstances under which it would resume explosive testing. While the United States has carried out more nuclear tests than any other country in the world, it hasn't conducted any since 1992 and now uses subcritical test and computer models instead.
The 2018 US Nuclear Posture Review states unequivocally that the "United States will not resume nuclear explosive testing unless necessary to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the US nuclear arsenal." By conducting a test now, what message would this send about the state of America's nuclear deterrent?
Proponents of a US nuclear test might feel confident that they could clarify the purpose of a test and eliminate possibilities for misinterpretation. Research and history show, however, that even the clearest nuclear signals can be read in unintended ways depending on the target's priorities, cost-benefit analyses, and perceived threats.
What is more, it is naive to think that Russia or China would accept at face value any US rationale for a test when relations are rife with mutual suspicion, acrimony, and mistrust. Instead, Moscow and Beijing will draw their own conclusions about what a US test is meant to signal and respond accordingly — a recipe for the end of arms control, not a new beginning.
Despite these risks, there will still be those in Washington who believe that conducting a nuclear test is worth putting US national security — and the administration's arms control objectives — on the line. That is because, for them, a test is not a signal designed to exert leverage on US adversaries but rather a desirable outcome in and of itself.
There are some in Washington who have long pushed for the United States to resume explosive testing and are happy to support arguments that could justify it. While these efforts have been ongoing for decades, they are more likely to gain support now amid renewed, but unsubstantiated, allegations that Russia and China are testing, too.
The trouble is that test proponents do not just exist in Washington. They have analogues in Moscow and Beijing who would relish an excuse to conduct explosive tests, too. In the last week alone, one Russian analyst has already stated that a US nuclear test would enable Russia to withdraw from the CTBT by claiming that its national interests were under threat.
By testing, the Trump administration would give a free pass to those in Moscow and Beijing who are pushing to do the same while enabling them to retain the moral upper hand.
In short, if decision-makers in Washington do choose to test, this attempt at brinkmanship will certainly fail to convince Russia or China to sit down at the arms control negotiating table. Instead, it will make it all the more likely that the very outcomes trilateral arms control seems to be intended to prevent come to bear — and soon.
The good news, then, is that there is plenty of time to walk this ill-conceived and ineffective plan back from the brink. In this instance, restraint — such as it is — may be the most effective nuclear signal this administration could possibly send.
URGENT: Stop Trump from Testing Nuclear Weapons
Global Zero / The Petition Site
According to breaking reports, the Trump administration may end the moratorium on nuclear weapons tests and begin exploding nuclear bombs — for the first time in decades.
This is a dangerous, reckless action. If the US resumes nuclear testing, we can be certain that other nuclear-armed nations like Russia, China, India, and Pakistan will follow in their footsteps. With multiple authoritarian leaders competing for advantage, dangerous new weapons systems ready for development, and risks of nuclear conflict (intentional or otherwise) at an all-time high, it would be an explosive start to a global nuclear arms race. The darkest days of the Cold War will look quaint by comparison.
The good news is Trump can't resume nuclear testing on his own.
Testing these weapons takes money, and the US Congress would need to authorize this spending. They can starve the administration of the funds they need or prohibit nuclear testing altogether.
ACTION: TELL CONGRESS: NO NUCLEAR TESTING. NOT HERE, NOT ANYWHERE.
Why no new nuclear tests? Here are five reasons that resuming nuclear testing is dangerous and wrong:
The widespread nuclear tests of the 1950s, 60s, 70s and 80s — underground, underwater, and in the atmosphere — took a staggering humanitarian and environmental toll all over the world. Minorities, Indigenous communities, military personnel, and vulnerable workers suffered especially at the hands of leaders all too eager to flex their genocidal capabilities. To this day, hundreds of thousands of these victims and their families continue to suffer this legacy of disfiguration, disease, and death. We can't let history repeat itself.
(2) The environmental and humanitarian consequences of nuclear testing are why the international community committed to a near-universal moratorium on testing. The world has shown that it is DONE with nuclear tests — 184 countries have signed an international treaty banning these tests. Over the last several decades, only North Korea has defied this global consensus and continued explosive tests (and recently even Kim Jong Un has stopped).
(3) Over the last 60 years, the world has made steady progress to stop the spread of nuclear weapons and lower the risks they'll be used. New nuclear testing and a global arms race will unravel all of this work and put hundreds of millions of people in harm's way. This week alone, the Trump administration has abandoned the Open Skies Treaty, which has helped avoid the kind of mistakes and misunderstandings that risk nuclear conflict between the US and Russia, and signaled a plot to trash New START — the only agreement left that's keeping both countries from pursuing massive nuclear build-ups.
(4) The US and the world are currently experiencing an unprecedented global crisis with COVID-19 which has shown us that our national priorities are seriously misplaced. Investing in massive nuclear arsenals has left us vulnerable to real public health and national security challenges like pandemics and climate change. We should be testing for COVID-19, not nuclear devastation.
(5) Nuclear testing inflicts direct and lasting harm on people and communities. It poisons the food we eat, the water we drink, even the air that we breathe. Not just for Americans, but for everyone, everywhere. The effects of nuclear testing are far-reaching and long-lasting. US nuclear would put the entire world at risk.
This is absolutely the wrong move at any time, but particularly in the middle of a deadly pandemic that's ravaging vulnerable populations, killing hundreds of thousands of people, destroying millions of workers' livelihoods, and tanking the global economy. Now is the time for society to act together — civil society groups, faith leaders, policymakers, and everyday people.
Background: Trump administration discussed conducting first US nuclear test in decades," Washington Post, May 22, 2020.
Demand Congress Deny Funds for Nuclear Testing
This would be a dangerous, reckless action. If the US resumes nuclear testing, for any reason, we can be certain that other nuclear-armed nations like Russia, China, India, and Pakistan will follow in these footsteps. With multiple nuclear-armed governments competing for advantage, dangerous new weapons systems ready for development, and risks of nuclear conflict (intentional or otherwise) at an all-time high, it would trigger a global nuclear arms race. The darkest days of the Cold War would look quaint by comparison.
The good news is Trump can't resume nuclear testing on his own. Testing these weapons takes money, and the US Congress would need to authorize this spending. They can starve the administration of the funds they need. But Congress needs to take action by passing legislation to prohibit funding for nuclear testing. Senator Ed Markey (D-MA) has introduced the Preserving Leadership Against Nuclear Explosives Testing (PLANET) Act which would prohibit the use of funds for an explosive nuclear weapons test.

Lacrosse: Fall ball returns for first time since 2019
Joshua Hoffman/The Daily Northwestern
Senior attacker Izzy Scane drives down the field. Scane kicked off her senior fall ball season with multiple goals on Sunday.
Charlotte Varnes and MaryKate Anderson
For the first time in two years, fall ball lacrosse is back at Northwestern.
Senior attacker Izzy Scane and graduate student attacker Lauren Gilbert headlined a powerful offensive performance, leading the way to the Wildcats' 21-11 victory over Colorado in their first game of the fall season on Sunday.
Graduate student defender Ally Palermo said she especially appreciates the return of fall ball ahead of her final shot at a national championship.
"Last year was difficult because we were mainly focused on (how) we might not have the next day," said Palermo. "I just feel like I have a lot more left to give. And I'm just really excited to get another opportunity."
The fall ball season typically gives freshmen an opportunity to play with their teammates in a competitive setting for the first time. However, since COVID-19 concerns cancelled last year's fall season, Sunday was also the sophomores' first experience playing in a more relaxed environment.
Sophomore attacker Leah Holmes pointed to the ability to worry less about the scoreboard and to "just enjoy playing and getting better with your team" as a major benefit.
Last year, lacrosse couldn't practice as a full team or compete against other schools in the fall. Instead, the squad divided into groups of about 10 people and held team scrimmages. This format made it difficult to build chemistry for both new and returning players, Holmes said.
While playing intersquad competition last season had its advantages, Coach Kelly Amonte Hiller said nothing can beat a normal slate of matchups.
"We're excited to play some outside competition this year," Amonte Hiller said. "We're (also) trying to keep the mentality we gained last year with not playing outside (opponents)."
Sunday's game also marked the return of four veteran graduate student-athletes: Gilbert, Palermo, midfielder Brennan Dwyer and midfielder Jill Girardi. The group played a key role in NU's 2021 record-breaking campaign that ended in the Final Four.
Amonte Hiller said the four players set the tone for the Cats last season and expects them to do so again this year. Returning such a core group of veterans will improve confidence for the entire program, she said.
Gilbert called her time playing for NU the "most formative" experience of her life, saying she wanted to come back to make another postseason push and help the team reach its potential.
"We had unfinished business last year," Gilbert said. "Obviously, it didn't end the way we wanted it to. I wouldn't be able to pass up an opportunity to get that chance of finishing on top."
The Cats return to Martin Stadium on Saturday to face Florida and Marquette.
Ahead of these matchups, Amonte Hiller said the Cats will continue adjusting to new NCAA regulations. The NCAA Playing Rules Oversight Panel changed several game rules for the upcoming season, including shifting the format of the game from halves to quarters, eliminating the pregame stick check and resetting the shot clock to 60 seconds rather than 90 in certain scenarios.
Holmes said the fall season will be an important time to build bonds and learn from each other.
"We have new girls who weren't here last year, and people are switching positions, so we're still establishing that trust and chemistry," Holmes said. "Throughout the fall, we'll work on that, and then things should flow more smoothly."

Microsoft's Dynamics CRM product line will be the latest to make the transformation into a "Live" service when it ships next year. But first, Microsoft has to gives its customer relationship management (CRM) software an upgrade that will make it viable as a service.
The current release, Microsoft Dynamics CRM 3.0, has been on the market for two years but is limited by its lack of multi-tenancy support. That means that as of now, Dynamics CRM can only support one customer account per physical server, so each customer requires its own separate hardware.
Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0, code-named "Titan," provides true multi-tenancy, which will allow for multiple customer accounts on a single server. This will make Microsoft CRM much more competitive with software-as-a-service (SaaS) (define) providers like Salesforce.com, Microsoft's primary target with the release of CRM Live.
"To tackle the markets we wanted to serve, we did believe a multi-tenant model is what we needed to be viable," said Kevin Faulkner, director of product marketing for Dynamics CRM. Microsoft (Quote, Chart) will initially aim CRM Live at small businesses and host the servers in its datacenters.
Both Titan and CRM Live are planned for a Q2, 2007 release. With Titan, customers will have three deployment options: CRM Live hosted by Microsoft; CRM Live hosted by a third party; or deployment on their own systems. The latter option is popular with multinational corporations, said Faulkner.
The news was hardly a surprise, given the details of Titan have been available for some time, as is Microsoft's desire to move to SaaS. Steve Ballmer, Microsoft's CEO, called it "the least surprising announcement in Microsoft history" when he delivered the news at the company's Worldwide Partner Conference, currently taking place in Boston.
"It's not surprising. The fact that Salesforce.com has done quite well certainly suggests to Microsoft that there's a customer segment out there that wants hosted CRM services," said Chris Alliegro, lead analyst for Directions on Microsoft.
This move will put Microsoft squarely in competition with Salesforce.com , although unlike Salesforce.com, Microsoft won't allow CRM Live users to run third-party server-side code in its datacenters. Wall Street didn't feel a need to worry; Salesforce.com's stock rose $0.80, or 3.42 percent, despite the news.
The company's CEO doesn't seem terribly troubled, either. Marc Benioff sent an e-mail to his staff, singing another verse of glory to SaaS and saying not to worry about Microsoft.
"Everyone agrees that the future of software is no software at all---but rather an industry dominated by tens of thousands of heterogeneous services delivering everything from traditional Office productivity to Verticals to VOIP to ERP and CRM systems. All companies and executives now agree: no software application will remain standing at the end of this widespread transformation," he wrote, in part.
Alliegro said it's too early to tell if Microsoft can be competitive, since pricing for CRM Live is not known.
"This is commodity stuff. What it boils down to is companies will go with a vendor they believe they can trust, a vendor they believe will be around, and a product that's cheap. Microsoft certainly looks like it will be a solid contender on all of those fronts," he said.

Greg Bamford is a educational thought-leader who consults on design thinking, leadership and strategic thinking. After working as a teacher at independent schools for over a decade, Greg co-founded Leadership+Design, a non-profit organization that works with school leaders across the country to support educational innovation. In 2014, Greg decided to focus his attention on one school and became the Head of School at Watershed School in Boulder, CO.
Watershed School is a unique school of 100 students in grades 6-12 . (Greg and I will be talking about what makes Watershed unique during the podcast.) Over the last four years, Greg helped guide Watershed's astonishing 78% enrollment growth and successful, first-ever ACIS accreditation process.
There's a saying that you can't understand life as you're living it, you can only understand it in retrospect.
How do we hold on to that tension of preserving the core and stimulating change. How do you do both of those? This is a space that a lot of schools are in.
Community is what provides the jumping off point for students to take healthy risks.
At Watershed, who you are is as important as what you know.
Wherever you are, take advantage of what is around you and use it as an opportunity to stretch kids and create one-of-a-kind experiences.
What it looks like to succeed at a small school is different than at a big school.
The students you enroll shape the school you become.
We sometimes forget that a mission statement doesn't need to include everything that we value, but rather what is our unique reason for existing in the world.
We as educators have a phobia of marketing because we have a false idea that there's something superficial about it.
Brand at its best moment is who you are every day.
Brand is who you are and the lived experience of a child is who is in your school.
The message of what you believe about learning, and the rational for attending your school, hopefully is enduring.
The work we do in schools is human and messy…and messy is not bad. Sometimes we try to make it artificially tidy.
As a great thought experiment…if you had to offer a half-priced version of yourself, what is it you would keep?
How the scale of your school affects how you approach innovation.
Understanding your school's competitive advantage, and the intersection of your mission and your market, and how to leverage it when describing your value proposition.
How schools confuse mission and brand, and how your school's mission statement can guide the development of a truly meaningful brand.
How the founding mission at the Watershed School in Boulder Colorado has led to the creation of a truly unique school by connecting learning to the real world.
How Watershed integrates off-campus trips and excursions into the mission-driven learning style that is unique to their community, like traveling to Selma, Alabama to study civil rights history and interview veterans of the civil rights movement. Or taking an afternoon at the local farm to understand the impact of agriculture on our ecosystem.
What Greg has learned in his career as a teacher, marketing consultant to schools and as a head of a small school.
How do you remain in the moment and really deliver what people need on the human level while also being strategic and staying the course in the direction you've set.
What can schools do to remain healthy, relevant and robust in the environment of ever-rising tuitions and increasing competition?

2020 Olympics Best Memes: Exciting moments form Tokyo | GamingZion
2020 Olympics Best Memes: Hilarious Jokes Straight from Tokyo
By: lusine | Posted: August 16, 2021
How Games will be remembered in the social media space ?
Rylov's cat mask, Batsarashkina's cool stance, and much more.
We collected the main memes from the 2020 Olympics in Japan.
The humor of the Olympic fans writes the history of the Olympic Games. The Olympics are a huge event, and no matter how ardent a fan of the Olympics you are, it is difficult to cover all competitions and sports. However, the memes loved by users of social networks are sometimes more remembered than the victories or competitions themselves. We bring you a selection of 2020 Olympics best memes.
Batsarashkina's Cool Stand: Is it was a Ordinary Day?
The leader in our rating of memes is the "queen of pistols" Vitalina Batsarashkina. The attention of one of the fans of the athlete was attracted by a photo from Rio because of Vitalina's very relaxed posture: a hand in her pocket, it seems that this is not the Olympics, but an ordinary day in a park shooting range. Twitter users began to post a photo with their comments. Some even drew illustrations online sportsbook news in Japan offer the best online sportsbooks that you can think of 1xBET Sportsbook is on top of that list. Make sure to bet on the upcoming Winter Olympics Games by clicking 1xBET.
Cardboard Beds in the Olympic Village
The Tokyo Games got their first meme even before the official start. The competitors, upon arriving at the Olympic village, found strange furniture in their rooms, namely a bed made of cardboard. The organizers, in response to the surprise of the athletes and coaches, promptly reassured them: while sleeping, the bed under the athletes will not fall apart. An accident can occur only with sudden movements and exceeding the specified load. The furniture makers thus asked the athletes to stop having sex and other physical contact with each other. That is why the beds were called "anti-sex". Naturally, curious athletes tested the strength of the beds. Among them was the Russian swimmer Yulia Efimova. But only the Israelis managed to break the seemingly unreliable structure: it took as many as nine Olympians.
2020 Olympics Best Memes: Real Men Wear Cat Masks
The Russian swimmer Evgeny Rylov, who won two gold and one silver medal in Tokyo, was also remembered for an unusual attribute. His main piece of equipment was a mask with the image of a cat's face. At first, Rylov's mask became a meme, which became the subject of discussion in many social networks.

Then the meme itself became the meme: the swimmer's fans laughed at the fact that despite the historic gold medal for the first time in 25 years in this discipline, there was more talk about the mask than about the athlete's achievement. Surprisingly, the organizers for some reason banned the Russian citizen from taking part in the award ceremony. As in the case of Batsarashkina, Rylov was also given a special welcome at the airport. Dozens of fans greeted the Olympic champion in the same masks, which was very cute and funny. Even Vyacheslav Fetisov took part in the performance.
Olympic Games betting: Standard Bearer from Tonga
A bare-chested standard bearer from the Kingdom of Tonga took part in the opening ceremony. And this means that network users were expecting his release, sometimes even more than the release of the most stellar athletes. One of the memes suggested that they could declare athletes the winner of the Olympics even before it began, thereby inviting everyone to go home. If you are a big fan of the Olympics, check out also our article about the 10 Incredibly Tempting Olympics facts.
2020 Olympics Best Memes: Squinting Maggie MacNeill
Everyone who has vision problems will understand this meme. The 21-year-old Canadian swimmer Maggie MacNeill came to the Olympics in the status of the world champion at a distance of 100 meters butterfly and in the same discipline claimed victory in the capital of Japan. She eventually achieved her triumph: the Canadian Zhang Yufei was 0.05 seconds ahead of the Chinese woman and won her first Olympic gold in her career.
It's funny, but MacNeill did not immediately find out about the historical success. The fact is that the swimmer has vision problems. And it is strictly not recommended to participate in swims with glasses and contact lenses. Looking at the information on the scoreboard, the athlete barely saw her last name on the first line. Not expecting a medal result, she was surprised when she heard her name. Her reaction is priceless.
2020 Olympics Best Memes: Sumo that Scared Horses
Citizens of other countries associate Japan with a lot of things, including sumo. Sumo competitions are not yet included in the Olympic program. However, the Japanese still have not done without mentioning their traditional type of martial arts. So, they decided to place the sumo statue in the arena racing. And not just anywhere, but right at the barrier.

The jockeys reacted negatively to this design because it ruined their performances. The horses on the way to the barrier were afraid of sumo wrestlers and refused to perform the jump. Online sportsbook sites in Japan have an unmatched selection of games that you can bet on. So check out 1xBET Sportsbook, where you can find the best odds for any game.
2020 Olympics Best Memes: A Fan of Mike Tyson
At the Tokyo Olympics, the main fan of Mike Tyson showed up. In the 1/8 finals of the boxing tournament in the weight category up to 91 kg, Moroccan Younes Balloy realized that he would not be able to defeat New Zealand pro boxer David Nyika according to the rules, and therefore decided to bite his opponent. But even this moment was not successful for him. The rival of the negligent cosplayer Iron Mike dodged an unpleasant bite and only left a little sweat on the tongue of the hungry nibbler.

The referee ignored this moment, but it is unlikely that Nyika is particularly worried about this. His ear remained in place, he defeated Balloy with a confident score of 5: 0. And at the end of the Olympic tournament, he became a bronze medalist.
While Some Create Memes, Brazilians Repeat the Existing Ones
Surely many of you have seen on the Internet a collage with an athlete who, when winning a bronze award, rejoices as if he was the winner. He bites a medal, kisses the girl who handed it to him, demonstrates his greatness to the whole world. And then he drinks champagne until the first and the second-place athletes are watching him with some surprise.
At the Tokyo Olympics, this picture became real. 32-year-old Brazilian Bruno Fratus finished third in the 50m freestyle and became an Olympic medalist for the first time in his career. He was so happy about this event that he repeated the above meme with almost 100% accuracy.
Not Only Grandmothers do Knitting
Representatives of water sports, in general, became the main heroes of memes of the past Games. Chief among them is, of course, synchronized interpreter Tom Daley. The Tokyo Olympics were the third in his career. And he will bring home two awards from Japan: bronze and gold. And along with the medals, Daly will also take with him and his knitted clothes. Videos and photos with the participation of an athlete who, during the competition, knits either a hat, a case for medals, or some other accessory became so badly violated that the athlete's hobby became a reason for heated discussions.
