Summary of Allegations Against Father Fidelis Lazar:
Father Fidelis Lazar was ordained a priest in 1963, who served in the Diocese of Pittsburgh. According to Diocesan records, three victims reported child sexual abuse allegations against him. The first victim came forward in 1986 alleging that Father Lazar took him on trips during which they slept in the same bed and held him so close that the boy could feel his erection. Another priest allegedly confronted Lazar about this behavior and he was sent away for a psychological evaluation in 1987. While at the facility, Father Fidelis Lazar admitted that he had sexually abused minors since being ordained.
In 1989, Lazar took a leave of absence. The Bishop did not allow him to re-enter the ministry because of his attraction to adolescents.
The second victim came forward in 1994. He reported that when he was 15 or 16 years old and Lazar was assigned to St. Joan of Arc, Father Fidelis Lazar would kiss him, take his pants off, and inappropriately touch his genitals. The third victim emailed the Diocese of Pittsburgh in 2002 to report that Father Lazar had sexually abused him at St. Vincent's Prep School in Latrobe.
Lazar died in 2018. His name was added 5/18/18 to the diocese's list of credibly accused priests, lay employees and volunteers. It noted he was no longer in ministry. He was also named publicly as accused in a priest profile in the 2018 Pennsylvania Grand Jury Report.
In 2002, another man alleged that Lazar sexually abused him as a child in the 1960s. In July 2020, Lazar was named in a lawsuit alleging that he sexually abused a 7-year-old child in 1975.

Cybersecurity on the high seas
Author: Ian Flanagan, Group CEO, Voly
www.Voly.co.uk
With their preference for hijacks, machine-gun-point robbery and hostage-taking ransoms, 21st-century pirates on the high seas are a far cry from the pirates that we have all heard and read about.
Luckily, buccaneering is not a common threat to seafarers in 2019, despite the Somali piracy crisis which reached its peak between 2007 to 2012. In fact, partly as a result of improvements to naval and maritime security in response to that crisis, modern piracy is even more rare than it was only a few years ago.
In the article Cyber Security at Sea: The Real Threats, David Rider of CSO Alliance, an international organisation that works to protect the maritime community from criminals, suggests that one ongoing threat to ocean-going security is from the crew itself, and the way they handle the vessel's finances.
A case in point is that of superyachts, where accountancy solutions designed for these and other high net-worth assets have hitherto been rather low-tech and not necessarily designed for the fast-paced yachting industry. Though captains and crew give yacht owners and guests a top-class experience, they are not trained accountants. Having to manage budgets and expenses which are more often associated with multimillion-pound businesses can be a real Achilles heel in terms of the time required of inputting accounts onboard, and, of course, any security issues that may arise as a result.
This is surprising considering how technically advanced these yachts are, embracing technology that would leave most business offices and homes drifting in their wake. Step onboard and you may discover ultra-HD laser projectors; invisible, scannable audio speakers; high-speed, high-bandwidth internet connection; futuristically intuitive Bluetooth 'beacons' which automatically set the music and lighting of a room to your exact, personal tastes as you walk onboard.
Yet many of these superyachts input sensitive expense data – which, by its very nature, can mean five, six and even seven-figure sums – manually into an Excel file and send it by unencrypted email to a family office or management company. Not to mention other highly sensitive, personal information that thieves and hackers would love to get their hands on. Vast amounts of data – which could include everything from fuel costs, the owner's food and beverages, to entertainment bills – is often insecurely exposed.
One company, Voly, have introduced a modern accounting solution for superyachts that tackles the big issues of expenses and security. Its smartphone 'crew app' scans and records receipts instantly, giving levels of accuracy and time-saving unthinkable with the old systems. With this, and a high-limit, prepaid card with a fully integrated payment platform, yacht captains can manage spend and share reports with owner, yacht manager and accountant all in real time.
This kind of technology could mean that the days of captain and crew struggling to reconcile the accounts at the end of the month, wading through receipts and inputting data into an Excel file, could soon be a thing of the past.
Accounting efficiency is one thing, but what about security? Reliable internet and WiFi access are as vital a requirement on a superyacht as they are everywhere else. But these cyber-luxuries come with risks, which yacht owners and crew members have to face along with the rest of us, such as vulnerability to malwares, ransomwares, phishing and virus attacks that might sneak in via emails, usernames, passwords and the like.
Voly's end-to-end data encryption is amongst the most effective strategies for mitigating the damage caused by data loss. New regulations in the United States and Europe now require encryption. This method of data security prevents access to data through a user's email address – and with two-factor log-in authentication built in as standard, such a system is every yacht-hacker's worst nightmare.
Cyber-security is an issue that can't be understated and is of huge concern across the maritime industry. There's even a Maritime Cyber Security Awareness (MCSA) training course, supported by the UK's Maritime & Coastguard Agency, which runs alongside 'Be Cyber Aware At Sea', an awareness-raising campaign across the global maritime and offshore industry.
The equivalent of falling asleep at the ship's wheel is the phenomenon known as 'cyber fatigue', a sense of exhaustion and impaired vigilance in the face of endless exposure to cyber-assault. It is taken particularly seriously by naval forces and the maritime industry, whose vessels are seen as soft-cyber-targets because they rely so heavily on global navigation satellite systems (GNSS), whose signals can be weak, lacking in encryption or authentication, and whose personnel, in some cases, can be constantly under (cyber) fire.
Seaports, through which more than 80% of global trade moves, also depend increasingly on computerised systems, some of which are even fully automated in terms of their day-to-day operation. If, for example, cargo handling and container tracking are delayed or hindered as a result of compromised cyber-security, the knock-on effect to the supply chain can be huge.
But it's not all over for old technology. Google's futuristic 'Project Loon' is an ambitious dream to deliver a high-speed internet connection to the most remote places – including right out there in the middle of the ocean. And the Loon is set to be realised by means of good old-fashioned, high-altitude hot-air balloons (albeit ones the size of tennis courts and powered by solar panels) that will accompany yachts around the world.
However, as with the real pirates in that (almost) bygone age, the virtual modern-day pirates are also a long way away from ruling the waves. Peace of mind, that often-elusive source of relaxation, could be starting to appear on the horizon – in accounting terms at least – for crew and yacht owners alike, as high-tech accounting mirrors other aspects of the superyacht experience. One luxury that superyachts presumably can afford, is to know that their personal and financial data is as safe as the superyacht they're sailing on.

How Fat May Hurt the Brain, and How Exercise May Help
March 5, 2014 | The New York Times
A study published in The Journal of Neuroscience suggests that the brain is impacted by the secretion of a molecule that causes inflammation, called interleukin-1, by fat cells. SfN member Alexis Stranahan and colleagues report that excess interleukin-1 caused cognitive deficits in mice. Removal of fat cells through surgery or as a result of exercise improved performance on the tests.

Perhaps the most straight-forward method of metadata enrichment is entity extraction, based on a dictionary of terminology. This is sometimes also referred to as named-entity recognition.
This approach requires an explicit list of terms, which the extraction algorithm uses to identify occurrences in documents. Terms can be single words or phrases. Where occurrences are found, metadata is created to attach to the document.
The vocabulary used can be as simple as a small list of companies or products. It can also be very large, for example, a gazetteer of all known place names with a country.
Entity lists sometimes include synonyms and abbreviations, for example, to map IBM and "International Business Machines" together - in other words normalizing the metadata describing that corporate entity.
In some applications, disambiguation is important. In many languages, and especially in English, words exist that have multiple meanings. The human brain is able to decipher the intended meaning from the context in which the word is used. Computer algorithms can, to an extent, emulate this process, through taking into account surrounding words.
A vocabulary-based approach to entity extraction is most commonly applied using lists of industry specific, or even company-specific terms such as products, departments, events or processes.
Where entities such as email addresses, telephone numbers and people are concerned, the pattern-based approach is usually preferred.


If you have decided to go organic, you may not know where to begin when it comes to setting up your kitchen. You can surely find lots of trendy items on the market today to tempt cooks and chefs of all stripes.
Be that as it may, there are certain items that are both handy and necessary to efficient and successful preparation of healthy, delicious organic foods.
In this article, we will introduce six essential, tools that your organic kitchen cannot do without! Read on to learn more.
Using bottled water can is unwise and economically unsound. Bottled water is far less subject to regulation than water from your local public utility.
Side-by-side comparison tests of the quality of bottled water versus municipal water very often prove that bottled water is lower in quality than municipal water.
Water that has been treated by your local municipality is safe to drink and should be free from viruses, bacteria and other organic contaminants. A good filtration system will filter out chemicals and heavy metals.
Aside from quality issues, and the production of bottled water results in tremendous environmental degradation due to the production and the disposal of plastic bottles.
All in all, you are far better off filtering your local tap water than purchasing bottled water.
To this end, you may want to install a whole house filtration system or put a filter in your kitchen sink faucet to filter your water for cooking and drinking.
Another extremely economical and convenient alternative is to simply purchase a water filtration pitcher (e.g. Britta or Pur) to filter water for drinking and cooking.
You want good water to fuel your body and food!
A high quality dehydrator can help you save lots of money on fresh fruits and veggies in season. You can buy in bulk and use your dehydrator to dry produce for later use.
When you do this, you can take advantage of great sales in the spring and summer and have tasty, homemade dehydrated apple chips, strawberries, carrot chips and more to enjoy throughout the year.
If your family eats organic meats, you can purchase grass fed meats in bulk, slice them up and create your own homemade jerky.
While there are many very low cost dehydrators on the market, you are sure to find that these are not really adequate to the task of a serious organic cook.
Your dehydrator is a substantial investment that can save you a great deal of money in the long run. That's why you would do well to seek out the best quality of products from a proven company such as Excalibur.
Many people underestimate the value of having a good food processor. It is common to think that for chopping and slicing you can simply use a knife. While this is true, the fact is a food processor can save you lots of time and provide you with more uniform results.
A high quality food processor can make chopping up veggies for soups and/or salads a quick, easy and safe task. You can also slice up cabbage to make sauerkraut to steam very quickly and easily.
A good food processor is also excellent for slicing veggies and fruits to be dehydrated.
Whenever you need a small amount of freshly chopped or ground herbs, spices, nuts, whole grain flour, tea, etc., you can just toss a handful of raw ingredients into your coffee grinder for quick results.
You are sure to find that it's much easier to clean up your coffee grinder than your blender.
Both juicing and blending of fresh fruits and vegetables can help you dramatically increase your intake of healthy organic produce. Juiced and blended fruits and veggies makes more nutrients bioavailable to your body.
Taking in large amounts of fruits and veggies in a single glass can help curb your appetite and reduce sugar cravings. All of this adds up to a healthier and more nutritious diet.
A good blender is essential in your organic kitchen because it can be used to create a wide variety of healthy dishes ranging from smoothies to sauces to soups and more.
It's great for chopping fruits and veggies finely, and you can also use a good blender for whole food juicing.
This differs from using a juicer because with a blender you use the entire fruit or vegetable and retain the benefit of the fiber it contains.
Vitamix is a well-known and well-established company that makes one of the best blenders on the market today.
You may also wish to have an immersion blender, which you use like a mixer. It's great for puréeing soup in the pot.
You can also use it to mix up batter, mash potatoes and create other dishes in the pot or bowl rather than placing the ingredients in the blender.
A juicer represents a fairly hefty investment, and it is actually not an absolute necessity. Although juicing is all the rage these days, a juicer can be viewed as a semi-optional item that you may want to leave for last if your budget is tight.
When looking for a juicer, you should keep the needs of your household in mind.
For example, if you are on your own or just have a small household you will not need a large, industrial-sized juicer. Look for a smaller and more economical model to take advantage of lower price and easier cleanup.
Both are good! The difference between juicing and blending is that juicing provides very concentrated nutrition but no fiber. When you juice fruits and veggies you remove the fiber.
Additionally, juicing results in a very concentrated amount of sugar, which can cause blood sugar level spikes. For this reason it's better to juice veggies than fruit because vegetables contain less fructose.
Whole food juicing (blending) provides an increased amount of nutrients; although. not quite as dramatically as extractive juicing. It also provides healthy fiber and helps to stabilize your blood sugar levels as opposed to causing them to spike.
Both extractive juicing and blending are healthy practices, but if you must choose between the two, a blender is a more useful all around appliance.
You can use it not only for whole foods juicing but also for a wide variety of kitchen tasks.
It is wise to note that there are many good multi-purpose appliances available today. For example, Breville makes several different sizes of juice-and-blend appliances that can produce both highly nutritious freshly made extracted and whole foods juice.
This and other combination appliances are very useful because you save money and counter space and enjoy more functional options when you choose a multi-function kitchen gadget.
In this article, we have introduced six basic appliances that are extremely useful in the well-equipped organic kitchen. In future articles, we will explore more specifics of each of these types of appliances and provide sound advice on making the right choices for your kitchen.

UCAS moves to cloud for clearing
The Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS) has confirmed that it successfully handled a "colossal spike" in traffic on A-Level results day last year with the help of cloud technology.
Charlotte Jee
Charlotte is the former editor of Techworld.
Charlotte Jee April 29, 2014
The service is active all year round, but it has to process 15 million transactions in one week in mid-August, representing a huge increase in demand.
UCAS' IT director James Munson explained: "Last year, over 495,000 students secured a place at university or college through UCAS, the most ever in a single year."
He said: "Even under this huge volume of traffic, UCAS systems delivered flawlessly and were widely praised by students in a follow-up survey. This year, our latest statistics show a four percent increase in the number of applicants compared to last year."
UCAS recorded 1.17 million logins over the course of results day on 15 August, many of which were in the first hour of the service being available, at which point there were more than 180 logins per second.
The system is supported by HP's Performance Centre software-as-a-service, which was used to test against anticipated loads. UCAS signed up for 16,000 virtual users for three months, before scaling down to 1,000 for the rest of the year to contain costs.
Munson said: "UCAS currently has a hybrid cloud infrastructure with around 450 desktops at our office in Cheltenham."
He added: "Application data is hosted in the EU at UCAS and by our established cloud computing partners Amazon, Microsoft and Rackspace." UCAS previously used an on-premise solution from Oracle.
According to Munson, UCAS is currently looking at further developing its service-orientated architecture.
He said: "This means developing reusable services and using them across multiple products; such as a registration tool that we can design and build once, and implement across our portfolio of application services."
VP & GM HP Software UK&I Alastair Corbett said: "To cope with the increasing number of applications for higher education places, UCAS needs a scalable performance testing solution that not only meets the demands for major spikes, but maintains cost efficiency throughout the year.
"With HP Performance Center on SaaS, UCAS can accurately simulate and rigorously test anticipated loads, providing better intelligence to plan for next year's volumes."

Space Calendar 2021: Upcoming August Rocket Launches
According to the nextspaceflight.com announcement, there are 27 launches in August rocket launch Schedule. Eleven events have exact or approximate dates. The rest are still in the ambiguous status of "Not Earlier than August." As always, China promises to be the most active. They plan to perform eight launches, but as practice shows, at least half of them risk being postponed. Russia is trying to catch up, apparently having decided to rehabilitate for the incident with the docking of the Nauka module to the ISS on July 29. Russian Soyuz and Angara rockets can be launched from Plesetsk under the programs of Roscosmos five times and once from Baikonur in the interests of the British OneWeb.
On the other hand, Space X will traditionally conduct a series of launches as part of the Starlink mission. This time, Elon Musk's company plans to place 60 satellites in polar orbit and 120 in LEO. In addition, Cargo Dragon will travel to the ISS on a supply mission under a NASA contract.
Well, as we can see, everything is stable with the leaders. Let's leave them unattended this time and tell you about the events of the current month that are more interesting in our opinion.
Previous Rocket Launches
I-Space Hyperbola
The Chinese launcher I-Space is definitely out of luck. Their Hyperbola rocket has suffered a second consecutive defeat in the battle against dark matter. After the separation of the stages, the carrier changed its trajectory and could not enter the calculated orbit. The launch was made from the Jiuquan Spaceport in China on 3rd August at 7.50 UTC.
ULA Atlas 5 – Boeing Starliner
On Wednesday 4th August, Boeing was forced to postpone the launch of the ULA Atlas from Cape Canaveral for the second time as part of the second test Boeing Starliner mission. The reason is the pre-start check technical problem with the Starliner valve. The second test flight was supposed to simulate a crewed mission, including rendezvous and docking with the ISS, an approximately two-week stay, and then re-entry and landing on airbags.
The launch was originally scheduled for early August but was postponed due to problems on the ISS during the docking of the Russian Nauka module.
As we can mention, the first test mission of Starliner also faced a number of problems and was reported unsuccessful. The delayed second mission calls into question the timing of Boeing's crewed flight, which has been scheduled for the end of the year.
Rocket Launch Schedule for August 2021
Antares Сygnus NG-16
On 10th August, from the Wallops Spaceport in Virginia, the Northrop Grumman Antares rocket will attempt to launch the 17th Cygnus freighter as part of a resupply mission to the International Space Station. The mission is known as NG-16. The Cygnus will be delivered in the Antares 230+ configuration with two Russian first-stage RD-181 and second-stage Castor 30XL engines. The Cygnus cargo ship consists of a service module built in the USA based on the GEOStar platform and a pressurised module manufactured in France and Italy by Thales Alenia. The mission is postponed from 13th July.
Arianespace Vega – Pléiades-Néo 4
Mission 19 of the Arianespace Vega light rocket launches on 16th August from the ESA Kourou launch site in French Guiana. The rocket will deliver to SSO a constellation of 4 Earth observation satellites, developed by Airbus Defense & Space as an extension of the Pléiades-HR satellites.
The satellites are expected to be equipped with thermal imagers with a resolution of 30 cm and CILAS deformable mirrors. For communication, Tesat Spacecom terminals will be used to transmit data through the EDRS network, providing access to images in near real-time. The constellation will be placed in a 700 km orbit with two orbital planes to allow for repeat visits throughout the day. The launch will also include Rideshare – 5 ESA satellites.
Astra Space Rocket 3
On 27th August, a rocket from the private company Astra Space will attempt to enter orbit with a commercial payload for the first time. The launch is planned from Pacific Spaceport Complex, Kodiak, Alaska, USA. The previous three orbital launches of Astra failed. In December last year, the rocket crossed the Karman line and reached the target orbital altitude of 390 kilometres. But it was impossible to achieve a stable orbit due to problems with the ratio of the fuel mixture components in the upper stage.
Firefly Alpha Demo Flight
The first rocket launch of the private American company Firefly Aerospace has been postponed for several months now. As part of the demo mission, 26 educational Cubesats are supposed to be launched to LEO. It is not known how long the SLC-2W will wait in Vandenberg, but the launch may take place this time.
Rocket Lab Electron RASR-3,4
The Rocket Lab, which has recovered after the failure in May, concludes our review. On 29th July, the company successfully launched Electron with Monolith, a USAF Research Laboratory (AFRL) microsatellite designed to demonstrate the technology. The vehicle's launch for the US Space Force was planned from the LC-2 launch complex in the USA but was postponed to New Zealand due to the prolonged process of the autonomous flight safety system certification.
Inspired by the success, Rocket Lab may conclude the August Rocket Launches Schedule with two launches of RASR-3 and 4 satellites under a contract from NRO. Launches are planned from two sites in Mahia, LC-1A and the new LC-1B, significantly reducing the interval between missions. The RASR-3 and RASR-4 missions are a follow-up to two recent rocket launches for the NRO; "Birds of a Feather" in January 2020 and "Don't stop me now" in June 2020.

LATIN AMERICA (IPS) Buenos Aires, Argentina – After adopting a new law banning trans fats in industrially processed foods, Argentina is starting out the new year with an improved public health outlook. The challenge now is for the food industry to incorporate the new rules, in an adaptation process that started four years ago.
"This is an important step for making progress in the prevention of cerebrovascular and cardiac diseases because it has been proven that these fats are harmful to health, as they increase bad cholesterol (LDL) and reduce the good kind (HDL)," Lorena Allemandi, director of the healthy food policies area in the Argentine branch of the InterAmerican Heart Foundation (IAHF), told IPS.
The law, in effect since Dec. 10 as part of the Food Code, limits trans fatty acids in processed foods to two percent of the total in the case of vegetable oils and margarines for direct consumption and five percent in other foods.
Based on various studies, the Health Ministry predicts that with this measure alone, Argentina could reduce the rate of coronary disease by six percent in just four or five years.
That could save 1,500 lives and prevent some 2,800 heart attacks and over 5,000 coronary events a year, said Sebastián Laspiur, the Health Ministry's director of health promotion and control of non-transmissible diseases.
It would also save the national health system an estimated 100 million dollars, in cardiovascular complications and treatment, he added in an interview with IPS.
Trans fatty acids are created during the process of hydrogenation of vegetable oils, which solidifies liquid oils to prevent them from becoming rancid and to keep them solid at room temperature. They are used mainly in industrially processed foods.
"They were thought to be better [than fats of animal origin], but over the years studies were carried out, and by the late 1990s there was no doubt that they are bad for our health," said Laspiur.
Argentina has joined Austria, Denmark, Hungary, Iceland, Norway and Switzerland in virtually banning trans fats, and has become the first country in the developing South to do so. Chile is set to follow suit, in 2016.
In Argentina the process began in December 2010, when the food industry was given two years to reduce trans fatty acids in vegetable oils and margarines and four years to reduce it in other foods. The deadline was Dec. 3, 2014.
But mandatory food labeling for trans fats was introduced in 2006.
Laspiur believes there will be no problem reaching full compliance with the new rules, thanks to the reduction period, the food industry's "broad cooperation," and oversight by the authorities.
A 2013 study by the IAHF of 878 products from the main brands sold in supermarkets found that 42 were still over the limit, including granola bars, frosting, "alfajors" – traditional shortbread cookies with a dulce de leche filling – and other bakery products.
Trans fats were widely incorporated in processed foods because they cut costs, help preserve food, extend the shelf life, and keep frosting from melting, Allamandi said.
Enforcing the new rules among small and medium companies will be a challenge, she added.
Another challenge will be enforcing the new rules in small bakeries or microenterprises that make baked goods like medialunas, as croissants are known in Argentina.
Laspiur acknowledged that oversight and enforcement is more difficult among small-scale businesses. But he also said there would be "indirect" compliance with the new law.
The high-level official also said the baking industry association is already cooperating with other health policies, such as the reduction of salt in their products in order to help decrease the risk of hypertension.
He also said fast food chains, which use ingredients from outside suppliers of baked goods and sweets, would cooperate.
Healthy alternatives to trans fatty acids depend on each product. Vegetable oils are recommended, or else saturated animal fats.
Public institutes are working to find low-cost alternatives to hydrogenated oil.
National Scientific and Technical Research Council (CONICET) researchers are working on two strategies in the Institute of Polymer and Nanotechnology.
The first involves the use of a new kind of high oleic-high stearic sunflower, which contains high levels of saturated fatty acids, and the second involves the production of protein-stabilised emulsion gels.
"The main advantage of the alternatives that we're investigating is that they use raw materials that are abundant in our country," the head of the group working on the projects, Lidia Herrera, told IPS. "From a health standpoint, the high oleic-high stearic sunflower's main saturated fatty acid is stearic acid, which is considered neutral with respect to blood-cholesterol levels.
"The production of protein-stabilised gels makes it possible to obtain solid products using liquid fats that contain fatty acids essential to health; this way we wouldn't be eating saturated or trans fatty acids," she said.
The next step is to carry out pilot studies, before scaling up the effort to an industrial level.
"We don't have cost analyses, but since the raw materials are available in Argentina, it will be simpler for our industries to get these products. At any rate, the processes involved do not require advanced technology, which means it should be comparable to importing palm oil," Herrera added.
Many companies use interesterified fats which have been chemically or enzymatically altered by combining stearic acid with vegetable oils – in this case, imported palm oil – containing unsaturated fat. "Because we are a country that produces raw materials, it's an advantage to be able to use our own ingredients," Herrera added.
So people in Argentina can rest assured that they'll keep eating their beloved medialunas. "If they're free of trans fats, they won't disappear," Allemandi said.


It is generally known that in the closed openings, such as the Queen's Gambit, Black's Main problem is the development of the Queen's Bishop. The Queen's Indian aims to solve precisely this problem by developing the Bishop on b7 ( or as the case may be a6).
In the catalan opening White anticipates this pan and takes control of the long diagonal first.
The pressure along the 'Catalan' diagonal is obvious and Black frequently has problems with the development of his Queen side. However, the other side of the coin is that the c4 pawn is left without its most natural defence, the light squared Bishop. This means that Black can capture that pawn at virtually any moment. If white decides to win the pawn Back, this is usually connected with loss of considerable time or some other positional concessions.
Black can also opt for more solid approach, besides slow development behind the shelter of the central pawn, something like Nbd7, c6, Bb7 or Ba6 and only late choose the best form of counter pay, be it dxc4 or c5.
This opening was officially played for the first time in 1929 in the town of sitges (near Barcelona). There were the best players at that time such as Tartakower. The Passionate Francese Armengol who was one of the organizers of the international chess tournament framed in the Universal Exposition of Barcelona. Armengol had in mind that it should be an opening called the catalan opening, so that there is also Spanish, Italian, French or Netherland opennes so, he took advantage of going to the tournament to call a competition where the participants had to invent and play a new opening, that would take that name.It was the Polish Tartakower who won the competition and he put in his pocket the not despicable, at that time, 150 pessetes (Just over one dollor today) A strange combination of gambit of Queen with a Fianchetto of the Kingside.
2 12 Qf3 Be7 13 Nc3 0-0 14 Rd1 White is slightly better due to weak.
3. White's chances are slightly preferable.
4 and White's light squared Bishop should secure him an advantage.
As we go on developing our opening knowledge we find that every opening has its own weakness.
The player must know in advance the weakness and the strength of the opening before using it in the games.
The 'e4' and 'd4' opening is the most common in the chess parlance. When we open with the 'e4' pawn it controls one central square (d5) but the 'd4' pawn opening one additional benefit that it controls the e5-square as well as d4-square. This d4-square is controlled by the queen behind it. Another difference is that when the games opens with e4-pawn it is undefended and hence vulnerable for the immediate attack.
It can be explained by the following examples.
Others allow 2 d4 and then attack e4on Black's 2nd move. : The Caro Kannn Defence ( 1 e6 c6 2 d4 d5 ), the French Defence ( 1 e4 e6 2 d4 d5 ) and the Pirc Defence ( e4 d6 2 d4 Nf6 ).
But 1 d4 , none of Black's major defences attack the d4-pawn and none even allow 2 e4, ie these defences all start with either 1 ... d5 or 1 ...Nf6 fighting for control of e4.
On the other side, when we White plays 1 d4, it has done nothing to contribute towards castling kingside. In fact, he often follows up with the moves 2 c4, 3 Nc3 and in some cases moves such as 4 Bf4, 4 Bg5 or 4 Qc2 none of which clear the way for kingside castling.. The Whites prospects of castling Queen side enhances due to early development of Knight and Bishop. But When White castles Queen side But the Queenn Side castling carries with it too many risks in terms of exposing White's King to quick attack.
Here one might think that the delayed castling of white can be well exploited by the Black.. But the delayed castling hasn't proved a decisive factor in the ensuing play. Furthermore, White can achieve positions in which his moves allow rapid castling anyway. Black emphasizes prevention of e4 since that would ideally be White's next move.

LHCb is an experiment optimised to study b and c hadron decays at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, currently collecting and analysing data. Its primary goals are to study CP violation and to search for physics beyond the Standard Model, e.g. by measuring "rare" decays with very high precision.
LHCb is a general purpose detector with angular coverage restricted to the region between 10 and 250-300 mrad from the proton beam axis, operating at a lower luminosity that ATLAS and CMS to reduce the number of overlapping interactions per bunch crossing. It has excellent reconstruction of multiple vertices per event and measurement of proper decay times using silicon microstrip detectors, as well as particle identification provided by Ring Imaging Cherenkov detectors.
Our technical roles in the project include responsibility in the detector simulation for GEANT4 and its physics models, joint leadership of the simulation group (Ilten), and simulation of the LHCb upgrade project (Popov), data management/grid operations (Slater) and RICH test beam coordination (Sergi). We are developing the (LHCbPR2) benchmarking and regression testing framework, used for simulation and other applications, as well as its individual physics-based tests. We are also working on the electronics and system tests for the RICH upgrade, and PMT ageing tests.
We have a wide range of physics interests and are always willing to consider others. Recent examples of our work include searching for physics beyond the standard model by making tests of lepton universality ("RK*" [1]), searching for "dark" photons [2], searching for rare decay modes of b baryons [3, 4], charmless decays of B mesons [5], and electroweak physics of gauge bosons [6, 7, 8, 9].

Football: Spain draw 1-1 with Germany in Group E of the World Cup.
Spain and Germany drew 1-1 in their World Cup Group E encounter last Sunday in Qatar, meaning all four teams in the group still have a chance of making the knockout stages of final.
Japan's loss to Costa Rica earlier in the day left the Japanese second in the group with three points, behind leaders Spain with four points and ahead of Costa Rica on goal difference. Germany is fourth with one point.

Japan face Spain on Thursday. A victory for the Blue Samurai would be enough to qualify them. If Japan and Spain draw, Germany can qualify if they beat Costa Rica by two or more goals or if they win by one goal and score more goals than Japan against Spain.
If Spain beats Japan, they will qualify as group winners and Japan's tournament will be over.
Germany need nothing less than a win in their last game to stand a chance.
Spain looked on course for victory against Germany when substitute Alvaro Morata scored in the 62nd minute.
The Atletico Madrid striker scored for his second game in a row coming off the bench, this time with a sublime right-footed flick from a pass from Jordi Alba.
But German substitute Niclas Fuellkrug came to his side's rescue when he trumped Spain goalkeeper Unai Simon with a right-footed strike in the 83rd minute to snatch a point and extend his side's life in the tournament.

Merry Christmas (Ukrainian Christmas is today!) and Happy New Year, friends!
It has been almost TWO MONTHS since I last blogged.
I have been so busy with my kids, my business and the holidays. I have so many things to share with you, and really have to make the time to do so!
I missed Everly's four-month post, and now I have her five-month one to share (I'm so embarrassed I am this behind – I can't believe she is five months!)!
Life is beyond busy these days and I will fill you in on all of it in the coming weeks.
Until then, you will find me hiding beneath layers of warm clothes and sipping warm beverages all day. Brrr.
Hi! I'm Helen, and welcome to my blog. Join my journey of Mommyhood, DIY's, fashion, food, and everything in between!

Etihad Airways, the national airline of the United Arab Emirates, has expanded its codeshare agreement with Korean Air, South Korea's largest airline, to include six new destinations.
In the second phase of cooperation, Etihad Airways will place its EY code on Korean Air services from Seoul Incheon to Honolulu, Vancouver and Hong Kong. Korean Air will place its KE code on Etihad Airways' flights from Abu Dhabi to Johannesburg, Muscat and, subject to government approval, Khartoum.
The new arrangements augment the airlines' existing codeshare services between Abu Dhabi and Seoul Incheon.
Etihad Airways' President and Chief Executive Officer James Hogan said the expanded codeshare with Korean Air would enable both airlines to grow their networks in a mutually beneficial way and broaden their appeal to world travellers.
"The three new codeshare destinations enhance Etihad Airways' business and leisure travel offering to the Asia Pacific and North America. The flights to Honolulu and Vancouver, in particular, will provide convenient one-stop access from Abu Dhabi to these two popular North American destinations.
Mr Hogan noted that Etihad Airways' strategy of partnerships with airlines such as Korean Air was helping grow tourism from around the world to its Abu Dhabi home and hub.
"The introduction of new codeshare routes enables us to rapidly expand our network and drive more leisure and business traffic to and through our Abu Dhabi hub. Last year alone, Etihad Airways carried 10.2 million passengers through Abu Dhabi.
"Increasing international visitors to Abu Dhabi is key to enabling economic growth in the Emirate and helping realise the Government's visionary Abu Dhabi 2030 plan.
Etihad Airways and Korean Air have had a successful commercial partnership since August 2009 when the airlines signed a special pro rata agreement and interline partnership. The airlines commenced codeshare operations between Abu Dhabi and Seoul Incheon on July 22, 2013.
Members of Etihad Airways' Etihad Guest and Korean Air's SKYPASS loyalty programs enjoy reciprocal benefits. These include lounge access, priority check-in and excess baggage allowances for top tier program members and the ability to earn and burn frequent flyer points on Etihad Airways and Korean Air flights.

Likely race for president: Mohan Bhagwat vs Mulayam Singh Yadav
If Mohan Bhagwat's name is approved, it will open up the possibility of one Brahmin succeeding another at the Rashtrapati Bhawan. Meanwhile, the search is on for an Adivasi face for the vice-presidential canddiate. Kariya Munda, the BJP MP from Khunti in Jharkhand, is the frontrunner
By Nawal Kishore Kumar नवल किशोर कुमार On June 13, 2017 No Comments इस लेख को हिंदी में पढ़ें
Once again, political chess is being played for the post of the head of state. The election for the next president will be held on 17 July and the results will be declared on 20 July. The term of the 13th president, Pranab Mukherjee, will end on 24 July while Vice-President Hamid Ansari will complete his term in the end of August. The most important facet of this presidential election is the central role the Dalits and the Backwards are going to play. There are demands within the NDA, the alliance in power at the Centre, for a non-Brahmin president. Similarly, the opposition is also making the moves keeping the Dalits and OBCs in mind.
Jharkhand's veteran MP, Kariya Munda, could prove to be NDA's trump card in the race for vice-president
Despite these compulsions, sources tell us that the BJP and its alliance partners are getting ready to announce RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat as the NDA presidential candidate. Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP President Amit Shah have set up a three-member committee to help take a decision on the matter. However, the three members are from the BJP – Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh, Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley and Union Minister for Urban Development Venkaiah Naidu. The other parties in the NDA remain unrepresented. These three ministers are both loyal members of the Modi-Shah team and hard-core RSS stalwarts.
If Mohan Bhagwat's name is approved, it will open up the possibility of one Brahmin succeeding another at the Rashtrapati Bhawan. Meanwhile, the search is on for an Adivasi face for the vice-presidential candidate. According to sources, Kariya Munda, the BJP MP from Khunti in Jharkhand is the frontrunner. Munda is a former deputy speaker of the Lok Sabha. The BJP's three-member committee will suggest names on 18 June.
The Left parties have been projecting Mahatma Gandhi's grandson Gopalkrishna Gandhi as a deserving candidate for president
On the other hand, the opposition parties will meet on 14 June. Sources tell us Mulayam Singh Yadav leads the race in the opposition camp. In any case, Sonia Gandhi has already started working on bringing all the opposition parties together on a common platform for the presidential election in July. As the talk of the imminent presidential election took centerstage, Sonia Gandhi set up a ten-member sub-group of the opposition parties in early June.
The opposition parties hope to remain united under the leadership of Sonia Gandhi
The sub-group of the opposition parties will officially begin meeting on 14 June and the elections for the president and vice-president will be discussed. Among the members of the sub-group are Congress leaders Ghulam Nabi Azad, Mallikarjun Kharge, Janata Dal-United's Sharad Yadav, Rashtriya Janata Dal chief Lalu Prasad Yadav, CPI (M) General Secretary Sitaram Yechury, Trinamool Congress MP Derek O'Brien, Samajwadi Party's Ram Gopal Yadav, Bahujan Samaj Party's Rajya Sabha MP Satish Chandra Mishra, Draviad Munnetra Kazhagam's R.S. Bharathi and Nationalist Congress Party's Praful Patel.
Apart from the strength of numbers in this political game, what is going to matter is whether the opposition can stay united. Even now, the Left parties are shouting out Mahatma Gandhi's grandson Gopalkrishna Gandhi's name for president while Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar still expects the BJP to announce a candidate who would also be acceptable to the opposition.

Disney doesn't seem to be able to catch a break with hackers: The Dark Overlord, the hacker or hackers behind the leak of Netflix's "Orange Is the New Black," issued a vague threat against ABC via Twitter on Friday, suggesting that they might release one of the broadcaster's TV shows online.
"American Broadcasting Company may be up next, ladies and gentlemen," the tweet read.
Netflix didn't budge, and the hacker followed through by leaking the first 10 episodes of the show online. At the time, The Dark Overlord also claimed that it was able to obtain a number of shows from ABC, Fox, IFC, and other networks as part of the same hack.
A list of shows allegedly stolen by The Dark Overlord included ABC's "The Catch" as well as the Disney Channel's "Bunk'd." ABC representatives didn't immediately respond to a request for comment on Friday.
The new threat against ABC comes just a week after Disney apparently dodged a bullet with regards to another hacking threat. Disney CEO Bob Iger confirmed last week that the studio had been approached by someone who threatened to release a stolen movie if the studio didn't pay a ransom demand.
Speculations quickly arose that the movie in question could be "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales." However, Disney decided not to give in to the threats, and the film premiered without leaks. The studio eventually concluded that the whole threat was a hoax, Iger said.

Q: Sql Syntax to tag rows in a table where this specific criteria appears at least once or more I am using SQL Server 2014 and I have a table (t1) which contains a list of 6 numbers in more than 25,000 rows.
Extract of t1 is given below:
Id    F1   F2   F3   F4   F5   F6
1     5    11   15   21   30   36
2     8    10   21   25   32   39
3     10   18   23   27   28   32
...

I would like to write 2 Case Statements that would do the following:

*

*(1) tag the rows where the last digit of any of the 6 numbers (F1 to
F6) appear at least once or more as a "Yes", (else "No")

*(2) give the count of all numbers (based on condition (1) above),
else give a zero

This is what I am expecting as output:
Id    F1   F2   F3   F4   F5   F6  LastDigit   CountLastDigit
1     5    11   15   21   30   36    Yes            4
2     8    10   21   25   32   39    No             0
3     10   18   23   27   28   32    Yes            2
...

I am stuck at writing the logic behind the 2 case statements. Any help would be appreciated.

A: That's an interesting question. You can do this with a lateral join. The idea is to unpivot the number columns to rows, aggregate by the last digit and keep the most occuring only. Then you just need to add a little conditional logic:
select *
from mytable t
cross apply (
    select top (1)
        case when count(*) = 1 then 'No' else 'Yes'    end LastDigit,
        case when count(*) = 1 then 0    else count(*) end CountLastDigit
    from (values(f1), (f2), (f3), (f4), (f5), (f6)) x(f)
    group by f % 10
    order by CountLastDigit desc
) z

Demo on DB Fiddle:

Id | F1 | F2 | F3 | F4 | F5 | F6 | LastDigit | CountLastDigit
-: | -: | -: | -: | -: | -: | -: | :-------- | -------------:
 1 |  5 | 11 | 15 | 21 | 30 | 36 | Yes       |              2
 2 |  8 | 10 | 21 | 25 | 32 | 39 | No        |              0
 3 | 10 | 18 | 23 | 27 | 28 | 30 | Yes       |              2

If you want to sum the count of top ties, then one more level of aggregation is needed in the subquery:
select *
from mytable t
cross apply (
    select
        max(LastDigit) LastDigit,
        sum(CountLastDigit) CountLastDigit
    from (
        select top (1) with ties
            case when count(*) = 1 then 'No' else 'Yes'    end LastDigit,
            case when count(*) = 1 then 0    else count(*) end CountLastDigit
        from (values(f1), (f2), (f3), (f4), (f5), (f6)) x(f)
        group by f % 10
        order by CountLastDigit desc
    ) z
) z

A: A lateral join seems like the right approach.  I would do an aggregation as part of the effort:
select t.*, (case when c.num_duplicates > 0 then 'Yes' else 'No' end) as lastDigit,
       coalesce(c.num_duplicates, 0)
from t cross apply
     (select sum(cnt) as num_duplicates
      from (select f % 10 as digit, count(*) as cnt
            from (values (t.f1), (t.f2), (t.f3), (t.f4), (t.f5), (t.f6)) v(f)
            group by f % 10
            having count(*) > 1
           ) c
     ) c;

Here is a db<>fiddle.

A: try the following:
;WITH CTE AS
(
    SELECT ID, COL, VAL
    FROM
    (
        SELECT Id, F1%10 F1, F2%10 F2, F3%10 F3, F4%10 F4, F5%10 F5, F6%10 F6
        FROM @TAB
    )T
    UNPIVOT
    (
        VAL FOR COL IN ( F1, F2, F3, F4, F5, F6 )
    )UPVT
)
, CTE2 AS
(
    SELECT ID, VAL LastDigit, COUNT(DISTINCT COL) VAL_COUNT
    FROM CTE
    GROUP BY ID, VAL
)
SELECT T.Id, F1, F2, F3, F4, F5, F6
, CASE WHEN VAL_COUNT > 1 THEN 'YES' ELSE 'NO' END LastDigit
, CASE WHEN VAL_COUNT > 1 THEN SUM(VAL_COUNT) ELSE 0 END CountLastDigit
FROM @tab T
LEFT JOIN CTE2 ON T.Id = CTE2.Id AND VAL_COUNT > 1
GROUP BY T.Id, F1, F2, F3, F4, F5, F6, VAL_COUNT
ORDER BY Id

Q: java can't run command line application I am developing an application that will run a command line application from a Java interface. This app used to work on my fedora but now under Ubuntu I get this message:

Error opening terminal: unknown.

I am starting the application using this command:
 Process clientProcess = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(clientcommand);

where clientcommand is a string that contains the command to be run.
also please note that when I copy and paste the command directly to the console the program runs as supposed.What am I doing wrong? is there an issue with running a command this way?

A: I know why this is happening, but I may not have a solution for you.  But lets see...
I had this same problem on OSX.  I was running .sh scripts form Jenkins.  I would get this error.  It turns out the issue is it doesn't know where or which terminal you want to use.  Since Jenkins was sudo'ing as me, i went to my .bashrc and defined export TERM=xterm .  That did the trick.
So now i have a situation where I'm developing a grails app and the same problem is occurring... but i dont know how to set the xterm for grails... as it isn't running as me.
But anyway, the issue is your system doesn't know which terminal to use... or how to reach it.  By specifying your terminal it should work.

Woman's dog stolen from scene of car crash on Milwaukee's north side
MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- A woman's dog was stolen at the scene of a major crash, and it was caught on video.
This all happened in broad daylight near 35th and Burleigh on Milwaukee's north side.
Tatanisha McAllister is still seriously hurt from the crash.
She says she's trying to focus on healing while also tracking down her missing dog.
"What type of person would drive past an accident in such a major intersection, not care if the people involved in the accident were alive, seriously hurt, and then still steal a dog after being approached?"
For three days straight, Tatanisha McAllister's home has been quieter than usual. Her 8-year-old dog, Chrissy, was stolen during a car accident.
Video shows McAllister sitting at the light near Burleigh and Fond Du Lac. By the time she made it to the intersection to turn, a car smacked right into her.
Chrissy is usually sitting on McAllister's lap while she's driving, but when she looked down, Chrissy was gone. You can see Chrissy running from the scene in the video.
A tow truck driver saw someone picking up the dog and leaving. He tracked them down, and here's what they had to say.
"You going to take that dog back?" the driver asks.
"I am just trying to calm him down," they replied.
But that person never returned Chrissy.
"I want my dog back and I am going to do everything I can to get her back," Tatanisha said.
She says they did get the car's plate number and it belongs to someone in South Dakota.
The car owner told police they allowed someone in Milwaukee to borrow the car.
