In My Mind's Eye is a concert performance video released by the British group Tears For Fears. It was recorded in December 1983 at the London Hammersmith Odeon (now the Hammersmith Apollo), and released on home video in October 1984.

The band had been touring the UK and internationally throughout much of 1983, promoting their debut album The Hurting which went to no.1 in the UK and contained three UK Top 5 hit singles. In November 1983, they released a brand new single, "The Way You Are", and finished a successful year with another UK tour to promote it. The band also performed most of the tracks from The Hurting as well as the instrumental B-side to "The Way You Are" entitled "The Marauders". Ironically, "The Way You Are" and "The Marauders" were not featured on the video release, despite being the primary reason for the tour itself. The band also performed three brand new songs never before heard, "The Working Hour", "Mothers Talk", and "Head over Heels" (the latter of which was segued with the song "We Are Broken" which had already been released as the B-side of their hit "Pale Shelter" earlier that year). Both "Mothers Talk" and "Head over Heels" would be hits for the band in 1984 and 1985 respectively, and all three songs were featured on their multi-platinum second album, Songs from the Big Chair, in 1985. Additionally, the (uncredited) reprise of "Broken" at the end of "Head Over Heels" on this recording was re-used on Songs from the Big Chair.

The In My Mind's Eye concert performance was also shown on television in the UK in March 1985 as part of Channel 4's music show Mirror Image. The televised version featured a reduced track list, but included an interview with the band from 1984 as they were working on their album Songs From The Big Chair.

The concert video itself was directed by Mike Mansfield and was intercut with a variety of visual effects, typical of early 1980s pop videos. Upon its release, bandmembers Curt Smith and Roland Orzabal stated that although they were happy with the video release in general, they were less enthused about the visual effects added to it.

Originally released on video cassette and laserdisc, In My Mind's Eye was released on DVD as part of the 30th anniversary 4-disc deluxe box set of The Hurting in October 2013.

Latest > Ian Woosnam OBE confirmed for the 2018 Farmfoods European Senior Masters
Ian Woosnam OBE confirmed for the 2018 Farmfoods European Senior Masters
Words: GolfPunk
1991 Masters winner, Ian 'Woosie' Woosnam OBE, will continue his 2018 Staysure Tour season as he is confirmed to return to Birmingham's Forest of Arden Marriott Hotel & Country Club between 4-7 October. Playing in the annual Farmfoods European Senior Masters, Woosie will join returning tournament host, Peter Baker.
The professional golfer from Oswestry, on the Welsh boarder, Woosnam has an illustrious career under his belt, including playing eight times consecutively as part of Europe's Ryder Cup team and captaining them to victory in 2006 as Captain.
It was this win which saw Woosnam awarded an OBE for his contribution to golf the following year, in the 2007 New Year's Honours List. Further confirming his huge contribution to the sport, Woosnam was announced as an addition to the Welsh Sports Hall of Fame in 2010 and most recently the World Golf Hall of Fame in 2017.
Last year the Farmfoods European Senior Masters made its debut on the Staysure Tour calendar and saw three-time European Tour winner, Stephen Dodd, take home the inaugural title. Taking place from 4-7 October, the Arden Course puts professionals to the test as they compete for the €200,000 prize fund.
Returning as tournament host, is three-time European Tour winner Peter Baker, who also took on the role of Vice-Captain in Woosie's 2006 Ryder Cup team. Speaking of Ian's return to the Farmfoods European Senior Masters, Baker said:
"As a fellow Ryder Cup player, and close friend, I have had the personal pleasure of playing alongside Woosie on courses around the world, many times, and it is fantastic news that he will once again play at this event. He always brings a competitive edge to the game and a player of his history will bring in more spectators and increase the profile of the three-day event."
Baker added:
"The Farmfoods European Senior Masters relies on top professionals supporting the event, and if last year is anything to go by, 2018 will be bigger and better than before. Woosie is just one of the stellar players taking on the course this year and I can't wait to find out who else will be announced soon!"
More professional players will be announced in the coming weeks as the anticipation for the event continues to grow.

Mother-In-Law Charging Family $30 A Head For Christmas Lunch
Alex Ward
Writer, The Project
A mother has shocked her son and daughter-in-law when she asked them to pay £17 for Xmas lunch. The couple turned to the internet and the idea of a bill has people split.
Anyone who has hosted Christmas for their loved ones knows it's expensive, and the cost of all that food and booze adds up. Some families ask everyone to bring a plate, and while this ensures everyone chips in cost wise, you do risk some dodgy contributions. Oh, your entrée is Barbecue Shapes? Thanksss.
While a lot of hosts just wear it on the chin and put the costs down to "love", one woman has decided to charge her family £17-a-head to attend this year's Christmas dinner.
As reported by Mamamia, the mum is opting to charge her guests for the meal.
Her son was completely shocked by the request and is now even considering skipping the celebrations.
The daughter-in-law posted her dilemma on popular parenting website Mumsnet, and stated that she would be happy to bring a dish but handing over money "just feels wrong".
The responses to the post and the thrifty mum's idea were mixed.
User whatnametouse commented, "No - I would never ask people to pay to come to my house for dinner".
"I definitely would not ask for money and would not ask for food contributions either, but I would hope that my guests would bring some wine and nibbles for supper / snacks," another user posted. Again, depending on the family member, it would be worth subtly adding 'a nice-ish bottle, not cask'
AgentProvocateur stated, "If you can't afford it, don't invite people".
Or you could just give them the money and say this
Other users weren't so offended by the idea of being asked to contribute money.
User lalalalyra's family do something similar, saying, "we 'host' Christmas dinner every year, but it's only here because we have the space for the tables. So everyone chips in to cover it."
Another understanding poster commented, "It's really expensive to cater for Christmas dinner for a lot of people. Don't think of it as her charging you but instead think of it as you all contributing to the cost of the food."
If your family does ask you to contribute some cash, before boycotting the event, stop and think 'would you want to host, cover all costs and peel 100+ prawns?' Exactly.
Just stick a fitty in a Christmas card and throw it under the tree, there's a good chance your Mum has done the same for you anyway.

There is an important discussion taking place on the X11 users list regarding the support of indirect GLX (iGLX) in XQuartz.
Indirect GLX is an extension offered by X11 that enables the transmission of OpenGL commands from an X11 client on a remote machine to an X11 server on your desktop over the network. For example, when your OpenGL science application running on a remote host tries to draw images using OpenGL and display on your local XOrg (XQuartz) desktop, IGLX (red line below) is used to send the commands to your local X server, which then uses OpenGL locally to draw the commands.
In seems in the latest version of XQuartz (2.7.9) this is turned off by default and there appears to be a move to deprecate this protocol. This seems to have been prompted by security concerns but I know nothing of the details.
However many scientific applications use this capability and it seems there is no alternative. If this is likely to be an issue for you I suggest you subscribe to the X11 list and make your views known.

Q: Android Setting Margin & Padding How can i set layout margin individually in android?
Example case: i want the margin for top:15, right:12, bottom:13, left:16
How to that in android?
I have background as web developer, i though it will the same as css with setup like this margin: 15 12 13 16; but seems it not working with android
<resources>
<!-- Default screen margins, per the Android Design guidelines. -->
<dimen name="activity_margin">15dp 12dp 13dp 16dp</dimen>

</resources>

What is the right way to achieve that? is there any link for documentation to for this?

A: Use seperate dimens like this:
<dimen name="activity_margin_left">15dp</dimen>
<dimen name="activity_margin_right">13dp</dimen>
<dimen name="activity_margin_top">12dp</dimen>
<dimen name="activity_margin_bottom">16dp</dimen>

You may need to change the values, I'm not aware of the order of css dimens.
Then apply them to your layout:
<LinearLayout ....
    android:layout_marginLeft="@dimen/activity_margin_left"
    android:layout_marginRight="@dimen/activity_margin_right"
    android:layout_marginTop="@dimen/activity_margin_top"
    android:layout_marginBottim="@dimen/activity_margin_bottom"/>

A: You can do it in two ways. First, in layout and you can't set it like CSS. You need to set:
android:layout_marginLeft="15dp"
android:layout_marginTop="15dp"
android:layout_marginRight="15dp"
android:layout_marginBottom="15dp"

Second, programmatically like below:
// initiate your margins value in dp
(int) (px / getResources().getDisplayMetrics().density);

// and set these value in setMargin method
LayoutParams params = new LayoutParams(
    LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
    LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT
);
params.setMargins(left, top, right, bottom);
yourLayout.setLayoutParams(params);

4,359 years ago, during the cataclysm known as "Noah's flood", "sudden changes in temperature, violent storms and water avalanches from Antarctica broke off from their 'ice prison' Dr. John T. Hollin at Maine University (U.S.A.) considers that large pieces periodically came out of the Antarctic ice field creating a huge tide" (Zecharia Sitchin, The Twelfth Planet).
From our research, we think Nibiru will appear in December 2016 and pass over at the end of August 2017.
Is NASA predicting a "total blackout" of Earth on Nov. 15 to Nov. 29?
A: Nibiru and other stories about wayward planets are an Internet hoax. There is no factual basis for these claims. If Nibiru or Planet X were real and headed for an encounter with the Earth in 2017, astronomers would have been tracking it for at least the past decade, and it would be visible by now to the naked eye. Obviously, it does not exist. Eris is real, but it is a dwarf planet similar to Pluto that will remain in the outer solar system; the closest it can come to Earth is about 4 billion miles.
A: A reversal in the rotation of Earth is impossible. There are slow movements of the continents (for example Antarctica was near the equator hundreds of millions of years ago), but that is irrelevant to claims of reversal of the rotational poles.They claim a relationship between the rotation and the magnetic polarity of Earth, which does change irregularly, with a magnetic reversal taking place every 400,000 years on average. As far as we know, such a magnetic reversal doesn't cause any harm to life on Earth. Scientists believe a magnetic reversal is very unlikely to happen in the next few millennia.
Q: Is the Earth in danger of being hit by a meteor in 2017?
A: The Earth has always been subject to impacts by comets and asteroids, although big hits are very rare. The last big impact was 65 million years ago, and that led to the extinction of the dinosaurs. Today NASA astronomers are carrying out a survey called the Spaceguard Survey to find any large near-Earth asteroids long before they hit.
Q: Is there a danger from giant solar storms predicted for 2017?A: Solar activity has a regular cycle, with peaks approximately every 11 years. Near these activity peaks, solar flares can cause some interruption of satellite communications, although engineers are learning how to build electronics that are protected against most solar storms. . The next solar maximum will occur in the 2017-2018 time frame and is predicted to be an average solar cycle, no different than previous cycles throughout history.
happens gradually over millennia. While the conditions that cause polarity reversals are not entirely predictable – the north pole's movement could subtly change direction.


Louise M. O'Brien Ph.D., from Michigan Medicine in Ann Arbor, and colleagues surveyed postpartum women who either had a stillbirth at ≥28 weeks of gestation within 30 days before completing the survey (153 women) or delivered a live born child within 30 days of completing the survey (480 women).
The researchers found that sleeping more than nine hours per night in the previous month was associated with stillbirth (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 1.75; 95 percent confidence interval [CI], 1.10 to 2.79), as were waking up on the right side (aOR, 2.27; 95 percent CI, 1.31 to 3.92) and nonrestless sleep in the previous month (aOR, 1.73; 95 percent CI, 1.03 to 2.99). Good sleep quality in the last month approached significance in its association with stillbirth (aOR, 1.64; 95 percent CI, 0.98 to 2.75). Not waking more than one time on the last night of pregnancy was associated with stillbirth (aOR, 2.03; 95 percent CI, 1.24 to 3.34). No relationship was observed between a woman's position when going to sleep during pregnancy and stillbirth.
"Maternal sleep has been overlooked as a potential area for maternal and newborn health interventions even though it is related to many of the major, well-established risk factors for poor pregnancy outcomes," O'Brien said in a statement. "Until recently, it hasn't been on the radar for stillbirth research."

The Charolais originated in west-central to southeastern France, in the old French provinces of Charolles and neighboring Nievre.
The exact origins of the Charolais are lost to us but it must have been developed from cattle found in the area.
Legend has it that white cattle were first noticed in the region as early as 878 A.D., and by the 16th and 17th centuries were well and favorably known in French markets, especially at Lyon and Villefranche.
Selection developed a white breed of cattle which, like other cattle of continental Europe, were used for draft, milk and meat. The French have long selected their cattle for size and muscling. They selected for bone and power to a greater extent than was true in the British Isles. The French breeders stressed rapid growth in addition to cattle that would ultimately reach a large size.
The Charolais of France are white in color, horned, long bodied, and good milkers with a general coarseness to the animal not being uncommon.
Soon after the First World War, a young Mexican industrialist of French name and ancestry, Jean Pugibet, brought some of the French cattle to his ranch in Mexico.
While serving as a French army volunteer he was impressed by their appearance and productivity. He arranged for a shipment of two bulls and 10 heifers to Mexico in 1930.
Until the mid-1960s, all the Charolais in Mexico, the United States and Canada were descendants of this initial Pugibet herd. Due to the limited number of original animals and the import restrictions which were in place, they have been crossed on other cattle in an upgrading process.
Charolais are white or creamy white in color, but the skin carries appreciable pigmentation. The hair coat is usually short in summer but thickens and lengthens in cold weather. Charolais is a naturally horned beef animal. Charolais cattle are large with mature bulls weighing from 2,000 to well over 2,500 pounds and cows weigh from 1,250 to over 2,000 pounds.

Juvenile Justice Update
States were still active in enacting juvenile justice legislation in 2020, even though many state legislative sessions were cut short due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The focus of 2020 legislation was on enacting laws diverting young people from formal court processing, providing alternatives to detention, amending ages of juvenile court jurisdiction, addressing due process rights, sealing and expunging records and improving conditions of confinement.

Probation is the most common outcome for delinquency cases. But what does probation entail for those juveniles? NCSL has partnered with the Annie E. Casey Foundation to create a first-of- its-kind comprehensive online statutory resource of juvenile probation laws. Read More>>
In January, Ohio became the latest state to prohibit the sentencing of young people to life in prison without the possibility of parole if they were under age 18 at the time they committed the offense. Under Senate Bill 256 young people who commit a crime as a minor are now eligible for parole after a certain number of years: they become eligible for parole after 25 to 30 years for a conviction involving homicide, and after 18 years for all other types of convictions. The bill is retroactive, so eligible individuals imprisoned in Ohio can petition the parole board for release. However, the law only grants eligibility for parole; it does not guarantee release. Since the US Supreme Court's 2012 ruling abolishing mandatory life sentences without the possibility of parole, 23 other states and the District of Columbia have passed legislation that ended mandatory juvenile life without parole.

Utah passed wide-ranging juvenile justice reform with broad support in 2017 and this year the state's Department of Human Services released new data showing how successful the reform has been. Through reductions in spending on out-of-home placement, their infographic shows the state reinvested more than $9 million over two years in a restricted Juvenile Justice Reinvestment Account. The money was used for services like family engagement, crisis support services, and youth employment programs. Among those who continue to be placed in the most secure residential settings, the infographic also shows a 40% reduction in facility-based assaults as staff move away from the use of locked rooms, along with a 26% reduction in those youths' risk to re-offend at the point of release. Moreover, the state was able to reassign over 50 full-time employees from work in locked settings to work in early intervention services.
The California Supreme Court unanimously upheld state law that prohibits 14- and 15-year-old children from being charged as adults. The law, SB 1391, was enacted by the legislature in 2018 and took effect in 2019 but was challenged by state prosecutors. The court rejected the prosecutors' argument that the law constituted an improper amendment to Proposition 57, a juvenile and criminal justice proposition passed by the voters in 2016. According to the National Center for Youth Law, "Proposition 57 took away the power of prosecutors to directly file cases against juveniles in the adult court and made significant changes to the judicial transfer process—allowing more youth to be handled in the rehabilitative juvenile system." Associate Justice Joshua Groban wrote in the decision that the law "furthers Proposition 57's fundamental purposes of promoting rehabilitation of youthful offenders and reducing the prison population…"
Joe Ligon, age 83, is the nation's oldest, longest-serving person sentenced as a juvenile to life without the possibility of parole. He spent 68 years incarcerated in multiple Pennsylvania penal institutions. He was released in February 2021 and is reentering a new world. "I'm looking at all the tall buildings," Ligon told the Philadelphia Inquirer. "This is all new to me. This never existed." Read more>>

Biden-Harris Administration Awards More Than $4.9 Million to Idaho in 'Internet for All' Planning Grants
NTIA, Office of Public Affairs
WASHINGTON – The Department of Commerce's National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) announced that Idaho received its first "Internet for All" grants for deploying high-speed Internet networks and developing digital skills training programs under the Biden-Harris Administration's Internet for All initiative. Idaho is receiving $4,940,793.09 in funding from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, signed by President Biden, to plan for the deployment and adoption of affordable, equitable, and reliable high-speed Internet throughout the state.
"I thank Governor Brad Little for signing onto the Internet for All initiative," said Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo. "Connecting Idaho's communities to affordable, reliable high-speed Internet will improve health outcomes, create jobs and increase educational access."
"The Idaho Broadband Advisory Board is proud to help support expanded broadband services to unserved and underserved households and rural communities across Idaho," said Idaho Broadband Advisory Board Chairman Representative John Vander Woude. "This funding award is just the beginning, and the board looks forward to working with NTIA and funding projects to help advance connectivity in the areas of Idaho that need it most."
"The Idaho Office of Broadband is excited to begin the process of working on the state's 5-year action plan and mapping in preparation for the Broadband Equity, Access and Deployment program and Digital Equity program," said State Broadband Program Manager Ramón Hobdey-Sánchez. "These initial planning funds provide Idaho and the Idaho Broadband Advisory Board the opportunity to begin working with broadband stakeholders and interested parties as soon as possible."
All 50 U.S. states and six territories applied for planning grant funding for the Internet for All initiative's Broadband, Equity, Access and Deployment (BEAD) program and the Digital Equity Act program. Grant awards for all 56 eligible entities will be announced on a rolling basis.

Lots and lots of good, good care.
Based on the shouting, stomping, screaming and slamming of doors, our neighbours would never guess that our feisty little family is my absolute bliss.
We're more BLAM! (Bayla, Lucy, Andrea, Mark) than Lamb (Lucy, Andrea, Mark, Bayla) but I wouldn't trade even our most explosive family moments for the world….
…OK, now I'm just lying for no reason (AD).
But really, my feisty little family is my absolute bliss.
Mark & I have shared a huge bowl of popcorn almost every single night for years and years.
Sometimes olive oil & freshly ground pepper.
Sometimes olive oil, sea salt, cayenne & nutritional yeast.
These days it's more than a delicious treat (which happens to fit within my new coffee-free, sugar-free, alcohol-free restrictions). Sharing our nightly popcorn — and laughing at our millionth viewing of Arrested Development or The Office — makes me feel like life is normal.
And a happy, warm family to return to.

Great detective stories of the world
Joseph Lewis French

Published 1924 by Dial in New York .
Statement edited by Joseph Lewis French.
Pagination [3 v. in 1].
In the world of literature, detective series books have always proved to be exceedingly popular and addictive. This article comprises of the popular detective fiction which are in the form of a series of books or a collection of short stories. The body of this novel takes the form of a story narrated by a retired detective to an author of crime fiction. The detective's goal is to demonstrate how far-fetched most crime novels are. Setting aside the meta-commentary on the genre, the story itself is a compelling account of a detective whose obsession with a case leads him into.
About Detective Stories. Now, in the appealing and collectible Pocket Classics format, an anthology of beloved, classic detective stories—riveting and irresistibly addictive tales . Yet the detective story has kept its hold; had even, in the two decades between the great wars, become more popular than ever before; and there is, I believe, a deep reason for this.
By: Julian Hawthorne, editor The Library of the World's Best Mystery and Detective Stories is a six-volume edition, which contains one hundred and one tales written by authors as diverse and separated by history as Pliny the Younger (first century AD), Voltaire (17th century) and Guy de Maupassant (19th century) and also from different parts of the world. The book is a series of stories about individual master criminals who are eventually beaten by a master detective. What is important about Les Voleurs (or The Thieves), apart from its being one of the first books about a detective, is that, in it, Vidocq considers criminals to be victims of a society that has ceased to care about the poor or.

Culture & Monaco Wealths Editor's picks Environment & Sustainability Lifestyle
THE WORLD HOPES FOR A BETTER 2021
by Ilio Masprone – Publisher – Knight of the Principality of Monaco for cultural merit.
MONACO. The year that has just begun is burdened of an unforgiving pandemic. Despite the production of different vaccines in record time, the deadly virus continues to claim victims around the world. Each of us must engage in this huge struggle, first by preserving our health and that of our fellow citizens by adopting all the safety measures that are unanimously imposed worldwide. Spacing and mask are essential, and for now the closure alike of those various activities promoting dangerous gatherings, from schools to restaurants, from museums to shopping centers. About social relations, the danger of a psychological drift in every stratum of the population, especially the youth, makes it difficult to look to the future with optimism. Yet it is essential to kill our fears and keep our inner strength steady, a key to overcome the many obstacles. After the lockdown that allowed the publication of just three issues in January, June, and November 2020, while considering the real difficulties and unforeseen events that could arise, MonteCarloTimes-Les Nouvelles wants to resume its path with the publication of six issues during the year 2021. The Principality of Monaco, its Head of State, HSH Prince Albert II and the whole Government did not spare themselves in staying close to the citizens, offering social care and economic support to keep up with the disastrous times that we are living. Traditionally published in Italian and French, starting from this February issue the Magazine will be published in French and enriched with many articles in English, which has always been the international language of our website www.montecarltimes.eu.
We know that most of our Italian readers living in Monaco speak and read both French and English, so they will not find any difficulty. Montecarlotimes-Les Nouvelles wishes to grow and become more and more integrated in the Principality of Monaco, a splendid and universally recognized international showcase that is giving hospitality to our publishing company. In this way, the Magazine wants to reach the highest number of readers, and to be distributed abroad. A negotiation has already started, and we hope to define it soon. We must be confident, always try to see the silver lining of things, and think about the future with enthusiasm: recovering depends on us only. This is my sincere wish to the followers of this site which at last, pandemic permitting, is resuming in this month of February.

Green Party co-leader James Shaw attacked by man shouting political comments
by Jane Patterson / 14 March, 2019
James Shaw. Photo: RNZ / Rebekah Parsons-King
A man has been charged with injuring with intent to injure after Green Party co-leader James Shaw was attacked on the street this morning.
Politicians from all sides of the political spectrum have expressed shock at the unprovoked attack on the Conservation Minister as he walked to work.
Mr Shaw suffered a black eye, bloody nose and lacerations to his face in the assault on Glenmore Street in Kelburn about 7.50am.
Two members of the public came to Mr Shaw's aid and called emergency services.
RNZ understands the man jumped out of a van and was shouting political comments aimed at Mr Shaw personally.
Police said a 47-year-old man has been arrested in relation to an assault on Glenmore Street this morning.
He has now been charged with injuring with intent to injure and is due to appear in Wellington District Court tomorrow.
Mr Shaw has given police a detailed statement, and they are asking for any witnesses to come forward.
Do you know more? Email us at iwitness@radionz.co.nz
Paramedics checked him out on scene and gave him the all-clear.
Mr Shaw then went to work and attended an environment cabinet committee meeting before heading to hospital for a precautionary check-up.
His visibly-shaken Green Party co-leader Marama Davidson told media this afternoon that the attacker seemed to know who Mr Shaw was, calling out his name.
"He's shaken. This was an individual who attacked him this morning and this is a big deal. And we're all shaken. But the messages of support are overwhelming and we are focused on supporting James at this time."
Ms Davidson said she hoped the incident did not result in politicians requiring heightened security.
"It would be a shame to lose the way people can approach us and access us in this country, that's one of the things I value about how we do politics. I'm really happy with the precautions that security have always taken. This is a single, individual attack that doesn't appear to be a pattern or organised at all."
Despite being injured, Mr Shaw continued on to Parliament after the attack and went to his meeting.
Agriculture Minister Damien O'Connor was also there.
"I have to give full marks to James, he turned up at cab committee with a black eye and bloody nose so it's true commitment to the job and I hope he comes right quick."
National Party deputy leader Paula Bennett called the attack "horrific".
"No-one should feel unsafe and have that kind of violence against them. Anyone in the public, quite frankly, violence is not okay. You shouldn't be walking to work and have an unprovoked attack like that."
She said there had been three occasions that she'd felt physically threatened in the past.
"I think it is exceptional, even though I've just cited three other cases. I think it's absolutely horrific but also i don't want to go down the path of needing to have police with me permanently either."
Near the scene of the attack, members of the public were equally appalled.
"If you've got something to a politician, say it. You don't hit them," said Barbara Stairs.
Andrew Law said seeing politicians out and about in Wellington is an everyday occurrence.
"They're part of the community," he said. "Anything that's politically-motivated that develops into a physical assault is just out of line and uncalled for."
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has spoken to Mr Shaw, who said he was doing fine. But she has encouraged him to take whatever time off he has to recover.
"My thoughts are with James and also Annabel. When you go into politics in New Zealand you just don't expect these things to happen, and I know it will be especially challenging for loved ones," she said.
"We have an environment in New Zealand where politicians are accessible - and that's something we should feel proud of. We are after all, here to serve people. But today's events really show we cannot take that for granted.
"I think all of us will probably be united in wanting to ensure we have the kind of political environment where everyone can hold their views, but they can do that safely."
Speaker of the House Trevor Mallard has granted Mr Shaw compassionate leave from Parliament for the meantime.
National's climate change spokesperson Todd Muller said he hopes Mr Shaw recovered really well, and quickly.
He said he had seen views that this is the "new era in New Zealand politics", but he rejected that completely.
"I don't think one man's punch defines a nation's political discourse. It's far from that in this country and in this Parliament and indeed in climate change we're working hard to develop a bipartisan outcome," Mr Muller said.
"I think everyone will be taking stock around their own personal safety."

Q: How to Conclude a Git Cherry-Pick? Yesterday I cherry-picked two commits into my main branch, one of them caused merge conflicts and I resolved them, committed and pushed them to origin. Today I am attempting to pull from the server when I get the following error:
$ git pull
fatal: You have not concluded your cherry-pick (CHERRY_PICK_HEAD exists).
Please, commit your changes before you can merge.
$

Git status reads:
$ git status
# On branch main
# Your branch is behind 'origin/main' by 2 commits, and can be fast-forwarded.
#
$

I have tried the following to no avail:
$ git cherry-pick --continue
usage: git cherry-pick [options] <commit-ish>
$

Any idea on how I could resolve this? Thanks in advance!

A: If the git cherry-pick --continue doesn't work, that means git is too old: that option was introduced for git 1.7.8 (Dec. 2011) in commit 5a5d80f

It works by dropping the first instruction from .git/sequencer/todo and performing the remaining cherry-picks listed there, with options (think "-s" and "-X") from the initial command listed in ".git/sequencer/opts".

These days (2014), that would be the command to use when you see "You have not concluded your cherry-pick".

A: Solved with the following: rm .git/CHERRY_PICK_HEAD I realize this is dangerous as this doesn't guarantee internal consistency within git, but no issues for me so far...

A: Next time try git cherry-pick --abort, otherwise what you did should more or less work.

A: Since my previous answer from 2014, the proper command nowadays (2018) is git cherry-pick --quit.
And before Git 2.19 (Q3 2018), "git cherry-pick --quit" failed to remove CHERRY_PICK_HEAD even though we won't be in a cherry-pick session after it returns, which has been corrected.
See commit 3e7dd99 (16 Aug 2018) by Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy (pclouds).
(Merged by Junio C Hamano -- gitster -- in commit 39e415c, 20 Aug 2018)

cherry-pick: fix --quit not deleting CHERRY_PICK_HEAD
--quit is supposed to be --abort but without restoring HEAD.
  Leaving CHERRY_PICK_HEAD behind could make other commands mistake that cherry-pick is still ongoing (e.g. "git commit --amend" will refuse to work). Clean it too.
For --abort, this job of deleting CHERRY_PICK_HEAD is on "git reset" so we don't need to do anything else. But let's add extra checks in --abort tests to confirm.

A: Another option: with Git 2.23 (Q3 2019), a git cherry-pick --continue will actually work!
When one step in multi step cherry-pick or revert is reset or committed, the command line prompt script failed to notice the current status, which has been improved.
See commit e981bf7 (01 Jul 2019) by Phillip Wood (phillipwood).
(Merged by Junio C Hamano -- gitster -- in commit 8a4acc5, 19 Jul 2019)

git-prompt: improve cherry-pick/revert detection
If the user commits or resets a conflict resolution in the middle of a sequence of cherry-picks or reverts then CHERRY_PICK_HEAD/REVERT_HEAD will be removed and so in the absence of those files we need to check .git/sequencer/todo to see if there is a cherry-pick or revert in progress.
See if a cherry-pick or revert is in progress, if the user has committed a conflict resolution with 'git commit' in the middle of a sequence of picks or reverts then CHERRY_PICK_HEAD/REVERT_HEAD will not exist so we have to read the todo file.


1. The Future of Painful Thought is is the first episode of the 07 ghost anime series. The original date it was aired was April 6, 2009.
The main character Teito Klein, who is a young student at the Barsburg Military Academy, is introduced. Teito used to be a slave, and because of this he is routinely bullied by Shuri Oak, the son of respected Field-Marshal Wakaba Oak. He and his best friend Mikage are getting ready for the final exam of the year, the Begleiter Exam, which they need to pass if they wish to graduate and become begleiters. The exam is notoriously difficult, the candidates being required to kill a Troll, but Teito and Mikage still manage to pass the exam.
When walking to return his documents to an examiner, Teito overhears his name and stumbles upon a dark secret pertaining to his hidden past, which he is unable to remember. Attempting to assassinate Chief of Staff Ayanami, the man who he remembers to have killed his father, he is stopped, captured and sent to a cell where he is to await interrogation. However, he breaks free with the help of Mikage and escapes.
The scene with Teito and Mikage waking up early and the woman officer arriving to announce the exam does not happen in the manga.
Miroku does not appear in the manga.
In the manga Teito smiles when Mikage mentions that he fights for his family, in the anime Teito instead becomes upset, and thinks of the family he (Teito) doesn't have.
In the manga Mikage was the one that mentioned sparring, not Teito.
Mikage used his Zaiphon to write 'chibi' on the floor during their sparring match, as a reference to Teito's small stature. This does not happen in the anime.
The conversation about their friendship Teito and Mikage had in the anime does not occur in the manga until after the exam, instead Teito and Mikage spent the night sparring.
In the manga, when confronted with the criminal they need to kill in order to pass the exam, one of the students assumes he is a hologram, like the ones they used for combat practice before, and throws a stone at him. This does not happen in the anime.
The female officer is in the arena alone in the manga, in the anime, officer Lloyd is with her.
Ayanami's Zaiphon takes the criminal's head off in the manga, whereas in the anime he (the criminal) appears to have been killed by internal injuries, as no blood was shown.
In the manga Teito is delighted when Mikage wants to make a promise to fight for each other until the end. In the anime Teito reluctantly accepts the offer.
Mikage decides to sleep in Teito's bed in the anime. In the manga, Mikage sleeps in his own bed.
In the anime, Teito hears the jingling of the necklace in his dreams and follows the sound. In the manga, he hears people talking about him, and follows the sound.
In the anime, Teito's Zaiphon is destroyed by Ayanami's when he (Teito) tries to attack him (Ayanami), but in the manga, Teito is restrained by Hyuuga before he has a chance to cast his Zaiphon.
In the anime, Hyuuga and Ayanami stumble across the dead guards. This scene does not happen in the manga.
In the manga, Teito mounts a Hawkzile that was next to him, whereas in the anime he (Teito) leaps off a balcony to land on a Hawkzile that was parked several floors below.
In the anime, Ayanami waits till Teito has flown several metres before casting his Zaiphon. In the manga as soon as Ayanami spots Teito making his escape he attacks.
When Ayanami fires his Zaiphon at Teito, Hyuuga is with him in the anime. Ayanami is alone at the time in the manga, and he (Ayanami) is the one that notes Teito's shield.
The first appearance of the Bishops, Teito's fall, causing of the land slide and subsequent collision with Frau happens immediately after Teito is hit with Ayanami's Zaiphon during that night, in the first chapter of the manga. However this scene occurs in the second episode of the anime, strangely happening the next morning - which means that Teito would have had to be falling from his Hawkzile for the entire night.

You asked for another option on this poll. Here it is again: Last year we asked readers "How do we fix healthcare?" and 54% said "redo entire system." The least-favored option was "address uninsured only," which, some would say, is what we wound up with.


At a fundamental level, people across the world over crave connection to others and to a meaning and sphere larger than themselves often manifested in their spirituality. A significant number of them are in various stages of discovering their own unique purpose that can they can translate into meaningful work. It turns out this discovery really takes something from us to accomplish – and when we do discover our purpose and put it to work – everyone around us wins. In this episode, we talk with motivational author Shawn Anderson who travels the world encouraging people to always "go the extra mile" in pursuit of their dreams and just what it takes to do so.

Cell Perturbation System Could Have Medical Applications

Cell lines injected with free nucleic acid are widely used for drug discovery and disease modeling. To avoid genetically mixed cell populations, investigators use dilution techniques to select single cells that will then generate identical lines. However, the route of limiting dilutions is tedious and time consuming.
A new study by Northwestern researchers shows how Nanofountain Probe Electroporation (NFP-E), a tool that delivers molecules into single-cells, could solve that issue, and could lead to new applications for drug screening and designing patient-specific courses of treatment.
The team, led by Northwestern Engineering's Horacio Espinosa and including Joshua Leonard, demonstrates the versatility of NFP-E -- which introduces DNA or RNA into cells using electricity. It can also deliver both proteins and plasmids in a variety of animal and human cell types with dosage control. The team included John Kessler, the Ken and Ruth Davee Professor of Stem Cell Biology and professor of neurology and pharmacology at the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine.
The new method can be used to study disease or for cell therapy. In the former, the genome is manipulated. In the latter, gene-editing occurs in cells such as T-cells to treat cancer with immunotherapies.
By employing single-cell electroporation, the process of introducing DNA or RNA into single cells using a pulse of electricity, which briefly open pores in the cell membrane, their work shows how NFP-E achieves fine control over the relative expression of two co-transfected plasmids. Moreover, by pairing single-cell electroporation with time-lapse fluorescent imaging, their investigation reveals characteristic times for electro-pore closure.
"We demonstrated the potential of the NFP-E technology in manipulating a variety of cell types with stoichiometric control of molecular cargo that can be used for conducting a wide range of studies in drug screening, cell therapies, and synthetic biology," said Espinosa, James N. and Nancy J. Farley Professor in Manufacturing and Entrepreneurship and professor of mechanical engineering and (by courtesy) biomedical engineering and civil and environmental engineering.
Currently, biomolecules can be delivered into cells in numerous ways: viral vectors; chemical carriers, such as cell-penetrating peptides and polymer nano-capsules; lipofectamine, and bulk electroporation.
"There exist a number of strategies for delivering biomolecules into cells, but each has its limitations," said Leonard, associate professor of chemical and biological engineering and Charles Deering McCormick Professor of Teaching Excellence. "For instance, chemical carriers confer relatively slow delivery and can be toxic to the cell; viral vectors are often efficient but can induce adverse immune responses and insertional genotoxicity. Use of any traditional method often requires substantial effort to optimize the protocol depending on the cell type and molecule to be delivered, and, therefore, a readily generalizable biomolecule delivery strategy would offer some meaningful advantages."
The new NFP-E system enables single-cell delivery of DNA, RNA, and proteins into different immortalized cell lines as well as primary cells with more than 95 percent efficiency and more than 90 percent cell viability.
"The results indicate that the cell membrane resealing time scales non-linearly with the pulse voltage and the number of electroporation pulses, reaching a maximum at intermediate values," Espinosa said. "That means long pulsing times or high voltages appear not to be necessary for efficient molecular transport across cell membranes. That feature is important in obtaining high transport efficiency while keeping cell toxicity to a minimum."
Using single-cell electroporation technology, the researchers were able to understand transport mechanisms involved in localized electroporation-based cell sampling. One obstacle to nondestructive temporal single-cell sampling is the small amounts of cytosol -- the fluid inside cells -- that are extracted, which makes it challenging to test or detect RNA sequences or proteins.
Research showed that the scaling of membrane resealing time is a function of various electroporation parameters, providing insight into post-pulse electro-pore dynamics.
"The work addresses the need to understand ways to increase the cytosol-sampled amount, without adversely affecting cells," Espinosa said. "That can guide the research community in designing experiments aimed at electroporation-based sampling of intracellular molecules for temporal cell analysis."
This research is related to previous work that developed a minimally invasive method to sample cells that can be repeated multiple times. That earlier investigation, which used electric pulses to extract enzymes from the cytosol, assisted understanding of the kinetics of pore formation and closure.
