"…whoever let out the first "Arrr!" started something. One thing led to another. "That be a fine cannonade," one said, to be followed by "Now watch as I fire a broadside straight into your yardarm!" and other such helpful phrases.
With Halloween upon us, our streets will soon be filled with young Jack Sparrow lookalikes, some of them more Arrr-ticulate than others.
As a voice-over arrr-tist, I absolutely love October 31st. What other holiday gives me the perfect excuse to revisit my crypt of creepy vowels and consonants, and resurrect them for the promotion of a local thrill ride or a scary costume emporium?
At this magical time, I usually take out my secret weapon: the alveolar trill, also known as "rolling R". Doesn't everything sound more sinister and spooky with a rolling R? Just think of the prince of darkness himself: Count Drrrracula from Trrrrransylvania.
You should be warned: the Dutch have a distinct advantage in the rolling R department. We roll 'em out all the time. Words like Rotterdam, Amsterdam, Strikwerda… they wouldn't be the same without a tongue-twisting alveolar trill. Netherlanders really appreciate their R's.
Tell me, where did the R's go? Now, if you did hear any rolling R's in there, you were probably listening to a Scotsman.
However, there's one important exception. If a classically trained English speaking actor wishes to add a dash of extra creepiness to his delivery, he will bring back the rolling R. My favorite example: the inimitable Cyril Ritchard in his role of Captain Hook.
Even though most of us will never be asked to play Captain Hook, I believe the alveolar trill should be on the tip of the tongue of every professional voice-over actor. Many of our clients are paying us for our ability to correctly reproduce the names of people and places, foreign and domestic, no matter what our mother tongue may be.
"Erre con erre cigarro. Erre con erre barril.
There are other strange things going on with the R in the English language. As we've seen, the R is often written out but not pronounced, as in the sentence "Never say never" (spoken in the Queen's English, of course). But if that same word precedes a word that begins with a vowel, the same R is pronounced, as in "Never say never again". This is called a linking R.
On top of that, some English speakers add an R that doesn't even appear on the page, as in the word "idea-r" or the sentence "President Obama-r-and his Danish counterpart". Linguists call this phenomenon an "intrusive R".
Peter Cook as the "Impwessive Clewgyman" in Wob Weiners "The Pwincess Bwide".
As non-native English speakers (such as myself), what-R-we to make of all this? Is there any logic to your language? Is there any welation between your spelling and your pwonunciation?
So far, I have only touched upon the rolling-R and the Bwitish R. What about it's American counterpart? Well, as you know, the ever so silent British R is often clearly pronounced in the States. Just as the rolling R might be a challenge for Americans, some Europeans have a hard time pronouncing a simple word like 'hamburger'. See for yourself.
There's only day in the year that's absolutely ideal for practicing your R's. It's September 19th, the International Talk Like A Pirate Day! And if you don't believe me, ask John Baur and Mark Summers. With the help of some friends, they turned a goofy idea into a global phenomenon, with a newsletter called The Poopdeck. It's arrrguably one of the silliest idears I've heard in a long time, and that's exactly why I love it.
Now, if you will excuse me… I have to get back to my ship. Arrrrr!
PS voice-over talents will love this short pirate video, written by & starring Jonathan Kydd. It's called "Aharrr".

'Corpus Christi': Film Review
This compelling Polish drama imagines the circumstances under which an impostor might choose to impersonate a priest, and how that deception could actually do a community good.

What makes a priest a priest? Technically, the answer is devotion to God, completion of seminary training and ordination by a bishop to deacon status — all this must happen before one can wear the collar. But Jan Komasa's stunning, quietly subversive "Corpus Christi" sees the question in more existential terms, permitting a well-meaning juvenile delinquent to skip all that spiritual preparation and to con a small Polish community into accepting him as a kind of proxy while the parish's regular priest sobers up. The result makes for a powerful, deservedly Oscar-nominated drama, and a launching pad for fresh-to-American-audiences young actor Bartosz Bielenia in the soul-contorting lead role.
With his tortured energy and intense, ice-on-fire eyes, this mysterious interloper is earnest, not unhandsome and surprisingly effective in his unconventional methods, and the serious-minded movie's sympathy is unambiguously in his corner, even if what he's doing is immediate grounds for excommunication. Inspired by real events (but no more so than "Sister Act," really), the film dramatizes what turns out to be a fairly common occurrence in contemporary Poland: Evidently, every few months, someone is outed for impersonating a man of the cloth. What draws these men to such a deception? And how do they manage to pull it off?
Faith — that cornerstone of Christianity — backfires on believers when those who lead them cannot be trusted (which extends to the phenomenon of sexual abuse that has crippled the Catholic Church in recent years, though that far-graver problem lurks largely between the lines here). "Corpus Christi" writer Mateusz Pacewicz based his intriguingly nuanced script on an actual case where a layperson managed to pass as a small-town priest for several months, embellishing the character's criminal background, and inventing the notion that the community in question was in such desperate need of healing (a recent drunk-driving accident killed seven, and the victims' families are thirsty for catharsis) that the impostor proved to be a welcome influence.
In this liberally reimagined version of events, Bielenia's Daniel is not just a con artist but a convert, wrestling throughout with some unspoken guilt and blocked from a genuine desire to attend seminary by his criminal record, whatever that may be. Although his character offers confession to others on no fewer than three occasions, we never hear the specifics of his own transgression. His aggression, however, lies barely restrained beneath the surface (at one point, he even head-butts a menacing member of his congregation).
It serves as one of the primary challenges of Bielenia's remarkable performance that he must convey the weight of this ambiguous burden on the character's conscience, along with the mystery of why he chooses to reinvent himself in this way (apart from escaping the drudgery of working in a sawmill, like his fellow parolees). "I am a murderer," he announces to his congregation from the altar in one of his sermons, although the statement proves to be little more than a provocative hook designed to get their attention. Or is it? Another, "I'm not here to pray mechanically," Daniel lifts directly from his mentor, Father Tomasz (Lukasz Simlat), the priest for whom he served as a kind of altar boy in lockup.
Nearly 30, Bielenia and his cohorts seem too old to be in juvie, and yet, he appears youthful enough that it's surprising that people aren't more skeptical about his clergical claims. Led by local den mother Lidia (Aleksandra Konieczna), the Catholic community wants to believe — which is a kind of statement unto itself, as Komasa slyly examines the sheep-like way so many followers accept the church's authority. It helps that Daniel's so charismatic, and has such a lovely singing voice. The more urgent critique, however — the one that hitches a ride on society's growing disillusion with organized religion — has to do with the hypocrisy and corruption "Corpus Christi" exposes within the system.
It's there in the sorry excuse for a priest already serving in town (played by Zdzislaw Wardejn). More tellingly, however, the rot reveals itself in the morally questionable arrangements that burned-out old drunk made before Daniel's arrival: He agreed to bless the opening of a factory as a favor to the mayor (Leszek Lichota), who menacingly exerts pressure on the church to get what he wants. Daniel also discovers that the previous priest caved in to pressure from the grieving parents not to bury the other driver in the church cemetery, despite the fact that evidence suggests the accident didn't happen as they've willed themselves to believe.
All of this makes for compelling dramatic conflict, and it's satisfying to watch an impostor shake up the status quo. But there's also a soap opera-like dimension to "Corpus Christi" that threatens the more thoughtful aspects of the script. The first person Daniel encounters in the new church is Lidia's daughter Eliza (Eliza Rycembel), and the sexual tension between them feels like an unnecessary temptation. After overlooking any number of ways that Daniel's deception might have been exposed, it doesn't sit right that a fellow prisoner (Tomasz Zietek) should be the one to discover his secret, threatening blackmail via an unwelcome subplot.
By what must have been a conscious casting decision, all of the film's main characters — Daniel, Tomasz, Eliza — boast penetrating blue eyes. Bielenia's are by far the most striking, but the cumulative impact of studying their faces lends a depth to the movie that dialogue alone cannot. In the space left empty of words, audiences are free to project all manner of interpretations. What Komasa and company fail to convey, however, is a sense of why Daniel's actions are so, well, unforgivable.
In the Catholic faith, when a man sets out to become a priest by the appropriate path, the process culminates in his being named an alter Christus, or Christ-like surrogate to his congregation. There's a divine dimension to this transformation, and yet the movie implies that the community Daniel deceives is better off for his influence, when in fact, he leaves it in greater turmoil than he found it. This points to the ultimate paradox found in nearly all religious-themed cinema: What are we to make of any of it, when the simple act of storytelling obliges the director to play God over his characters? Relative to that, impersonating a priest seems at most a minor peccadillo.

A skilfully written resume can often be enough to get you in the door for an interview, giving you a real shot and landing the job of your choice. If your employment history has a gap, you might wish to disguise this fact on your resume. This, however, can be a bad idea. Employers can often quickly tell when someone is disguising an employment gap, which may make them leery of calling you for an interview. If you haven't worked for any reason for a certain amount of time, here are some tips for dealing with this issue on your resume.
A gap in your employment history doesn't have to lessen your chance of getting the job. You can compensate for this gap by highlighting your professional training that is applicable to the position for which you're applying. For example, if you have been out of work for a year but have kept busy by taking some courses at your local junior college in office administration, focus on making this information a highlight on your resume. The average employer will be able to see that even if you haven't been employed for a period, you've been sharpening your skills to remain competitive in the industry.
An unpaid internship may not technically be the same as being employed, but it's still a productive use of your time when you don't have a paying job. This information can take a central position on your resume if you have a gap in your employment history. For example, perhaps you left your last career because you wanted to make a change, and then decided to work as an intern to get some real-world experience in a new industry. This detail shows a high degree of initiative, and even if you weren't in a paid position, many employers will be interested to speak to you.
Some people who have a gap in their employment history can benefit from discussing their work as a volunteer. This information shows prospective employers that you've been actively giving back in the community, which can be desirable to many companies. For example, if your employment history gap is because you're a stay-at-home mother, you can talk about the volunteer work you do during the day, whether it's helping out at your child's daycare or school, taking care of a few children after school, or something else that is related.
For more tips on filling in your resume when you've had a gap in employment, talk to a service like In Sync Visions & Communications.

    }
  }

  render() {
    return (

        <SearchBar />

            <SearchResults searchResults={this.state.searchResults}/>
            <Playlist />

    );
  }
}

export default App;

the first child component:
import React from 'react';
import './SearchResults.css';

import { Tracklist } from '../Tracklist/Tracklist.js';

export class SearchResults extends React.Component {
  render () {
    return (

Results

        <Tracklist tracks={this.props.searchResults}/>

    )
  }
}

The destination child component:
import React from 'react';
import './Tracklist.css';

import { Track } from '../Track/Track.js';

export class Tracklist extends React.Component {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props);
  }

  renderTrackList() {
    let properties = this.props.tracks;
    if (properties === undefined){
      return
Sorry, we found no results

    } else {
      properties.forEach( track => {
        console.log(track);
        return <Track key={track.id} track={track} />;
      })
    }
  }

  render () {
    return (

        {this.renderTrackList()}

    )
  }
}

I have attached the other components just for clarity. They are as follows:
playlist:
import React from 'react';
import './Playlist.css';

import { Tracklist } from '../Tracklist/Tracklist.js';

export class Playlist extends React.Component {
  render() {
    return (

        <input defaultValue='New Playlist'/>
          <Tracklist />
        SAVE

    )
  }
}

searchBar:
import React from 'react';
import './SearchBar.css';

export class SearchBar extends React.Component {
  render() {
    return (

        <input placeholder="Enter A Song, Album, or Artist" />
        SEARCH

    );
  }
}

Track:
import React from 'react';
import './Track.css';

export class Track extends React.Component {
  renderAction (isRemoval) {
    if (this.props.isRemoval){
      return -
    } else {
      return +
    }
  }

  render () {
    return (

{this.props.track.name}

{this.props.track.artist} | {this.props.track.album}

        {this.renderAction}

    )
  }
}

Please note that this is still a work in progress. So a lot of the detail and event handlers still need to be programmed.

A: Instead of
properties.forEach( track => {
    console.log(track);
    return <Track key={track.id} track={track} />;
})

write
return properties.map( track => {
    console.log(track);
    return <Track key={track.id} track={track} />;
})

OR
.map without return
return properties.map( track => (
    <Track key={track.id} track={track} />
))

Q: Error handling on createWriteStream I'm implementing file upload with Node.js and my code works fine with normal case.
However, when I made it fail to write a file (for example, writing it to non-existing directory), it calls error handler, fstream.on('error', ...), but it gets stuck and never proceed.
I was assuming that by unpiping the incoming stream, busboy moves on to the next part of processing, but it seems like it was not the case.
I'd like to run same busboy.on('end') to respond to the browser (with some error info), but how can I get this called?
var express = require("express");
var Busboy = require('busboy');
var fs = require('fs');
var upload = require('./upload');
var Path = require('path');
var app = express();

app.get("/", function(request, response) {
    response.writeHead(200, { Connection: 'close'});
    response.end('' +
        '<form action="/upload" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">' +
        ' <input type="file" name="filefield">' +
        ' <input type="submit">' +
        '');
});

app.post("/upload", function(request, response) {
    // request.files will contain the uploaded file(s),
    // keyed by the input name (in this case, "file")
    console.log(request.body);

    var fileId = upload.generateId();

    var busboy = new Busboy({headers: request.headers});
    busboy.on('file', function(fieldname, file, filename, encoding, mimetype) {
        var path = Path.join('images', fileId);
        console.log('hello');
        var fstream = fs.createWriteStream(path);
        fstream.on('end', function() {
            console.log("EOF");
        });
        fstream.on('close', function() {
            console.log("CLOSE");
        });
        fstream.on('error', function(err) {
            console.log("ERROR:" + err);
            file.unpipe();
            fstream.end();
        });
        fstream.on('finish', function() {
            console.log('onFinish');
        })
        file.on('end', function() {
            console.log('file end');
        });
        file.pipe(fstream);
    });
    busboy.on('end', function() {
        console.log('busboy end');
        response.json({id:fileId});
    });
    request.pipe(busboy);
});

app.listen(3000);

A: I solved the issue by placing file.read() in 'error' event handler.
fstream.on('error', function(err) {
  console.log("ERROR:" + err);
  file.read();
});

When createWriteStream had an error, error handler is called and pipe connection is broken up (unpiped), but incoming stream (file) has unread data in the stream and that hasn't consumed.
By calling .read(), it is read (but not delivered to Writable stream because no one is listening to) and end event is emit to the reader.  This triggers busboy.on('end').

Pennsylvania Superior Court
Commonwealth v. Didomenico , 131 Pa. Super. 113 ( 1938 )
Argued April 11, 1938. Defendant was convicted on an indictment containing two counts: (1) assault and battery with intent to commit rape; (2) simple assault and battery.
Marabelle Buckley, a fifteen year old girl, the victim of the alleged assaults, testified that on October 7, 1937, at 1:00 P.M., while she was cleaning one of the rooms *Page 115 in defendant's home, he grabbed her, asked for a kiss, and placed his hand under her clothes, and then gave her a quarter and told her to go to the show. On cross-examination, she added that he had kissed her once. At the close of the Commonwealth's case, the defendant rested. Upon this testimony the court charged that force was not necessary to convict, and if the defendant went into this room with intent to have intercourse, that he should be found guilty. Furthermore, the trial judge expressed his opinion that the defendant was either guilty of assault and battery with intent, or not guilty. The jury returned a verdict of "guilty as indicted."
The court below, realizing that the instruction that force was not an essential element of assault and battery with intent to commit rape (see Commonwealth v. Miller, 80 Pa. Super. 309) was error, did not enter judgment on the first count, but disregarded it and passed sentence of judgment on the second count, charging simple assault and battery.
Appellant contends that the lesser offense was merged in the higher offense and that the court erred in sentencing the defendant on the second count when the court expressed its opinion that the defendant should be found guilty, if at all, of the higher offense. With this contention we cannot agree. The rule is stated in Wharton's Criminal Procedure, Sec. 1849, as follows: "Where there are several counts, a judgment and sentence upon one of these counts, no action being taken as to the others, disposes of the whole indictment, and operates as an acquittal upon or discontinuance of the other counts."
Each count in an indictment charges a separate offense and a general verdict of "guilty as indicted" is a verdict of guilty on all counts, and if the sentence be arrested as to all but one count, and that count being *Page 116 a lesser offense of a constituent crime, the defendant can be sentenced on that one count: Commonwealth v. Lewis, 140 Pa. 561,21 A. 501; Commonwealth v. Greevy, 271 Pa. 95, 114 A. 511;Commonwealth v. Apriceno, 131 Pa. Super. 158, 198 A. 515.
Appellant further contends that there was error in admitting the testimony of Edward J. Buckley, father of the minor victim in this case, as to statements made by the latter to him. In the case of Commonwealth v. Oyler, (rape case), 130 Pa. Super. 405,197 A. 508, the defendant's counsel objected to a question of the District Attorney which inquired whether the victim reported her experience to a friend. The lower court sustained the objection, but this court, in an opinion by Judge PARKER, held the objection was improperly sustained.
In the case of Commonwealth v. Mtynarczyk, 34 Pa. Super. 256 (a rape case) President Judge Rice said, at p. 258: "It is deemed an important test of the sincerity of the woman that she made prompt complaint."
The evidence sustained the conviction on the count on which defendant was sentenced and we find no reversible error.
The judgment and sentence are affirmed, and it is ordered that the appellant appear in the court below at such time as he may there be called and that he be by that court committed until he has complied with the sentence, or any part thereof which had not been performed at the time the appeal in this case was made a supersedeas. *Page 117

The new Oakville Trafalgar Hospital offers state of the art healthcare for the surrounding community. When construction first began, Belroc was selected as the vendor of choice for the supply and installation of privacy healthcare curtains, track system, and shower curtains throughout the entire facility. With a patient bed capacity of nearly 500, the hospital needed to ensure patients receive privacy as they are treated and recovering. Belroc was tasked with supplying 12,500 linear feet of cubicle track and 855 curtains to ensure adequate privacy throughout the building.
A good privacy curtain system will improve patient safety, reduce room down time, and enhance the facility appearance. Eliminating patient room variation, and bringing custom curtains within privacy systems promotes consistency and does not compromise patient experience.
Zaid explains that within projects there are good, easy trades, and there are not-so-good trades. "Belroc was easy. I hadn't had experience working within their industry before this project. Working with them was a great introduction into the field. Belroc is an excellent company to work alongside".
Large ventures, such as a hospital build, demand significant coordination of all trades. By actively monitoring and identifying requirements, Belroc Group was able to carry out the project to completion, within the proposed timeline, remaining coordinated and organized throughout the entirety of the project.
Overall, the project was carried out with ease. Zaid stated, "All parties were satisfied, and very pleased with a successful end result. Belroc was an extremely helpful company to work with." From the beginning, Belroc carried out project milestones with the utmost organization and assistance.
Additional requirements were added without hesitation, and no time was wasted worrying about their competence—Belroc staff knew what they were doing and got the work done. I would jump at the opportunity to work with Belroc Group again.

CG Says: The 2018 Cadillac ATS has a new generation of Cadillac's Cue operating system that is said to be more intuitive. There is also an available heated front seat and steering wheel combination that can automatically turn on and off the heat based on interior temperature. ATS is a premium compact car offered in sedan and coupe bodystyles. Available features include autonomous emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, lane-keep assist, rear cross-traffic alert, blind-spot alert, wireless cell-phone charging, power tilt/telescopic steering wheel, and Magnetic Ride Control. The ATS is a dynamically impressive car that stacks up very well against its main rivals—namely the BMW 3-Series and 4-Series. It has excellent steering feel, plenty of grip, and pleasing power from the turbocharged 4-cylinder and V6 engines. The ATS-V is a ferocious, race-track-ready machine that packs a twin-turbocharged, 464-horsepower 3.6 V6, performance suspension and brakes, and functional styling touches inside and out. We're not so impressed with the small rear seat. We also wish the excellent Magnetic Ride Control suspension wasn't only available on the pricey Premium Performance and ATS-V models. The ATS-V costs a pretty penny, but it can run with some of the best high-performance cars in the world.


Accurate measurement of the wavefront perturbations caused by atmospheric turbulence is vital to the operation of an adaptive optics system. Current systems typically use a Hartmann-Shack wavefront sensor to perform this measurement. This type of sensor uses a lens to translate the problem of phase tilt detection to one of spot centroid detection at the lens focal plane. The accuracy with which a CCD array in the focal plane measures the centroid of this spot is analyzed, taking into account the finite pixel dimension, pixel quantity and dead space between pixels. The optimum design of the wavefront sensor is discussed and the required flux from the reference source is computed. If we require the corrected telescope to have a Strehl ratio of 0.85, and assume typical values for the detector parameters, then the required return flux per seeing cell of size ro is approximately 115 photocounts per measurement.

He said the region and the whole world were grateful for the country's generosity in providing refuge to Syrians and others fleeing violent conflict, and praised the country's "spirit of coexistence and tolerance".

Regarding the explosion at the Port of Beirut, where more than 200 people lost their lives in the devastating explosions of August 2020, he reiterated his view that "all victims deserve answers and justice that cannot be rendered only by an impartial, thorough and transparent investigation ".
The UN chief expressed grave concern at the impact of the worsening economic and financial crisis which has been fueled by political stalemate, sectarianism, widespread protests and a growing humanitarian emergency.
"Yesterday I visited Tripoli in the north of Lebanon and today Tire in the south. I was very moved to listen to first hand accounts of the impact of this crisis on the daily lives of people, "said Mr. Guterres.

Q: Share dialog app requires login? On this page, it says that Facebook Login is not required to use the Share Dialog. I've developed an app that uses the Share Dialog, and it all works fine in testing.
However, when it comes to approving the app, under "App Details" it tells me this:

Your submission contains the following errors:

*

*You must choose at least one platform to be displayed

I don't actually need the app listed in FB's app center, but it seems to require it. So then I check the Android option, and instead I get this error:

Facebook Login has not been used successfully on your app in the past
  30 days. Please test Facebook Login with your app prior to submitting
  for review. Be sure to test the entire login flow, starting with the
  TOS agreement (this may require uninstalling and reinstalling your
  app). We will remove your app from the App Center if we determine that
  you have not integrated Facebook Login correctly.

Now naturally since the app just uses the Share Dialog, which doesn't need a login, I haven't implemented login.
How do I get past this? I've read through a LOT of docs on the FB website.

A: You don't need the app to be listed in Facebook's app center. You need to go to Your App > Settings > Add Platform > Website and list the Site URL. Facebook apps require a "platform" to be specified (web, iPhone, canvas etc).

Anderson Silva doesn't think he lost to Chris Weidman
By Guilherme Cruz@guicruzzz Jan 12, 2014, 8:56pm EST
Anderson Silva suffered a gruesome injury in his rematch with Chris Weidman at UFC 168, but he doesn't consider his last fight a loss.
The former UFC middleweight champion broke his left leg when kicking Chris Weidman on Dec. 28 in Las Vegas, Nev., but is confident he will be able to fight again one day. And when he does, he won't enter the Octagon feeling he's coming off back-to-back losses to Weidman.
"I believe that, if you pay attention to these technical details, you will see that (checking the kick) was instinct, not something that he trained to do," Silva said during an interview to Globo.
"No, I don't think (Weidman should consider it a win). It was an accident. And I'm pretty sure I would have won the fight."
During the interview, Silva rewatched the fight and said he made some technical mistakes before throwing the leg kick.
"I can see some technical mistakes I did in the fight," he said. "To land the perfect kick, I needed to distract him by punching him in the face so he wouldn't pay attention to the kick. He was protecting the upper part of his body, and the raised leg instinctively. The kick was so strong he lost balance."
Silva wants to fight again, and he's not worried if his next fight will be against Weidman.
"I saw my mistake, and now I'm only worried about my comeback," he said. "If the UFC thinks I deserve another opportunity (against Weidman) or if I need to earn it. I just want to do what I do, it doesn't matter if it's for the title or not. I want to do what I do well."
Right after he suffered the injury, "The Spider" wondered if he would ever walk again.
"The only thing I was thinking was 'is it over? Will I walk again?'" he said "I was scared that I wouldn't walk again. Many things were going through my head at that moment. I'm 38 now, and I will be 39 in April. That's what I'm afraid of, but I'm confident that I will. I will be back.
"(You should stop fighting) when you feel you need to stop, when your body and head says that. I think I still have a lot of things to do. I don't plan to stop now. I'm getting stronger every day, and I will be back soon."
The MMA legend is still in pain, and he revealed that sometimes he asks his wife to take him for a ride around Los Angeles so he can just sit and cry away from his kids. Pain is part of Silva's routine now, and he can't even sleep without it.
"When I landed the kick I heard a loud noise, the sound of a bone breaking, and the pain was huge. And since I left the hospital, I can't sleep," he said. "It's really hard. I think about it, and I wondered why. 'Why, my God, I had to go through all this?' I wonder which message He's trying to teach me at this moment."
The pain will eventually go away one day, and Silva wants to return to the Octagon to end his career as he always planned to - with a win.

Ricker and his passenger are seen exiting the vehicle and walking towards Pennsylvania Avenue. Approximately 5 minutes later Ricker returned to the vehicle. The vehicle then drives into the parking lot of the Shop-N-Save.
Deputies reviewed the video surveillance from the Shop-N-Save, it shows Ricker entering the store, going directly to check out and making a purchase. After making the purchase, Ricker exits the store, goes to his vehicle and drives back to the scene of the collision, at which point he finally contacts a Deputy.
During his contact with the Deputy at the scene, Ricker gave information that was later determined to be false.
After concluding the investigation, the case was presented to the Washington County States Attorney's Office for review. The States Attorney's Office has charged Ricker with Felony Failing to Remain at the Scene (2 counts), Failing to remain at the scene of an accident involving death (2counts), Failing to render aid, and Obstructing and Hindering.
On October 7, 2017 at approximately 8:23 PM, Deputies responded to a residence in the 13400 block of Pennsylvania Avenue for a suspicious person. The caller advised 9-1-1 that an unknown male was knocking on his door and walking around the front of his residence. The caller said the male had a thin build and was wearing a red shirt.
When Deputies arrived on scene they observed a male, matching the description given by the caller, walking from the caller's residence, with two dogs following close behind him.
Deputies identified the male as Clifford Lee Staley, 49, of no fixed address. Staley admitted to being at the caller's house but stated he committed no crimes. After speaking with Staley, Deputies concluded that no crimes had been committed. Staley was told he was free to leave and not to return to the private property of the caller.
At 8:46 PM, Staley began to leave the area, walking south on the wide southbound shoulder of Pennsylvania Ave in front of Burkholder's Flooring, 13412 Pennsylvania Avenue, while talking to the two dogs to keep them in tow.
Staley and the dogs had walked approximately 60 feet from the location of the Deputies when one of the dogs began to walk south in the travel portion of the southbound lane of Pennsylvania Ave. Deputies observed a minivan driving southbound Pennsylvania Avenue strike the dog. The dog was thrown across the median and came to rest on the median line touching the northbound lane. Staley immediately ran into the roadway to tend to the dog.
One of the Deputies went to assist the dog, while the other contacted the driver of the minivan. The Deputy assisting the dog order Staley to stay out of the roadway several times, for his safety, as the Deputy obtained supplies to help the dog. Staley ignored the Deputies orders, and crouched down by the dog, in the northbound travel lane. Staley was then struck by a vehicle traveling in the northbound lane.
Staley was transported to Meritus Medical Center, where he later died as a result of his injuries.

Proposed EU Trade Action Against US Ethanol
The European Commission (EC) has been moving forward with a proposed action that is likely to pit the interests of European ethanol producers against those of U.S. producers. The EC action, which might lead to changes of European Union (EU) policy to be implemented in all 27 EU member states, were triggered by requests made in October 2011 by ePURE, the trade association for European ethanol producers.
On October 12, 2011, ePURE requested that the EC investigate alleged unfair U.S. trade practices and their potential impact on the ethanol industry in the EU. In its press release announcing this action, ePURE stated that the U.S. had encouraged ethanol production "for the last twenty years, notably through the provision of generous subsidies benefitting ethanol producers directly or indirectly through the obligation to blend ethanol with gasoline". In its release, ePURE specifically cited the federal excise tax credit and the federal income tax credit that were at that time available to ethanol producers. ePURE's main concern was over the Volumetric Ethanol Excise Tax Credit (VEETC), which provided a benefit of 45 cents per gallon for gasoline blended with ethanol, which the blender could take either as a credit from the federal excise tax for gasoline or as a credit against federal income tax. In its complaint to the EC, ePURE alleged that U.S government subsidies and promotional programs had led to the saturation of the U.S. ethanol market, causing many U.S. ethanol producers to look to European and other international markets, and that the subsidies also allowed these producers to adopt "aggressive pricing practices" for ethanol in the European market.
ePURE's request to the EC triggered two different inquiries, which have often been confused in press reports of this issue. One inquiry was to investigate the impact of U.S. ethanol subsidies on the European ethanol market and on European ethanol producers (the "anti-subsidy" investigation), and the second was to look into charges that American producers were "dumping" their product in Europe at a low cost to harm European producers (the "anti-dumping" investigation). Both of these inquiries began in November 2011 and have proceeded towards resolution in the last several months of 2012 and early in 2013.
The anti-subsidy inquiry was the first to reach some resolution. On August 23, 2012, the EC announced that, although it had found evidence of "countervailing subsidization and material injury" caused to the European ethanol industry, it declined to institute countervailing duties on U.S. ethanol because the main subsidy scheme leading to such alleged injury, the VEETC credit, had expired (with the consent of the U.S. ethanol industry, Congress had allowed VEETC to expire at the end of 2011, and so was no longer in effect at the time of the EC's investigation). However, because the EC felt there was "evidence that the United States might reinstate the main subsidy scheme … in the coming months with retroactive effects," it decided to require that imports of U.S. ethanol into the EU be registered, so that the EU could later impose retroactive duties if the U.S. subsidy were reinstated. A press release from ePURE announcing the EC decision expressed the hope that such "strict monitoring" of U.S imports might discourage the U.S. government from reinstating the VEETC credits, although from my perspective, by August 2012 there was little or no interest within the U.S. government or industry to reinstate the credit. On December 20, 2012, The EC finalized its decision not to impose countervailing duties on U.S. ethanol in the "anti-subsidy" investigation, and also decided to stop requiring registration of U.S. ethanol importers. The formal EC notice can be found here.
The "anti-dumping" investigation was continuing, and also began to reach resolution in December. The European Commission announced on December 6, 2012 that, as a result of its yearlong investigation, it would propose that the EU impose what was originally reported as a 9.6% anti-dumping duty on U.S.-produced ethanol, for a five year period. Then, it was reported that a majority of EU member states voted on December 20 to impose this duty as the European Commission had proposed, subject to final approval from the Commission and the Council of the European Union (EU Council). The EC formally published its proposal on January 22, 2013, indicating that it would impose a 9.5% duty on all U.S. bioethanol imports, which would lead to a fixed charge of 62.30 euros per net tonne of bioethanol present in fuel, based on the expected blending ration of 10% ethanol in gasoline. The duty is proposed for a five-year period, which appears to be the "default" term of anti-dumping remedies imposed by the EU under its basic anti-dumping regulation. In a potentially confusing move, it appears that, under the anti-dumping proposal, the EC is once again proposing to institute registration of U.S. ethanol imports, even though such registration was halted in the termination of the anti-subsidy investigation as mentioned above.
From a legal perspective, the anti-dumping proposal needs to be approved by the EU Council, which the EC has proposed should take place by February 22, 2013. The voting rules of the EU Council are a bit confusing, but it appears that a majority vote of EU members states is required to adopt this proposal.
The U.S. Trade Representative's office has objected to the proposed duty, which has also drawn criticism from U.S. ethanol trade groups, who characterized the proposal as unprecedented and legally vulnerable. In criticizing the proposal, the Renewable Fuel Association pointed out that the EC "selected six producers for investigation and none were found to be dumping; nonetheless, duties are being imposed." Naturally, ePURE in Europe, which had initiated these EU inquiries, applauded the decision.
Although perhaps inevitable that a transatlantic rift would open up on international trade issues, it is somewhat distressing to see the industry divided in this way, particularly when U.S. and European biofuel trade associations share common positions on so many other issues, particularly those related to the "food vs. fuel" debate. It is also somewhat ironic that the EU might impose a tariff on U.S. ethanol so soon after the U.S. allowed its tariff on Brazilian ethanol to expire on December 31, 2011. Lifting the Brazilian tariff has led to a substantial increase in ethanol imports to the U.S. in 2012 (although several other economic and agronomic factors likely contributed to this trend), which in the short term has been beneficial in facilitating compliance with the U.S. Renewable Fuel Standard, particularly since sugarcane ethanol is treated more favorably than corn ethanol under the RFS. It certainly seems that imported ethanol, particularly cellulosic or other non-food-derived ethanol, once it becomes available, would be useful in ensuring EU-wide compliance with the EU Renewable Energy Directive (RED). This would be particularly true if the recently-proposed revision to the RED takes effect, with its preference towards biofuels not derived from food crops. On the other hand, the European transport sector uses more diesel than gasoline (petrol), meaning that renewable ethanol will play a smaller role in meeting the requirements of the RED than will renewable diesel replacement fuels. It remains to be seen what impact the proposed EU duty will have on the European ethanol market, if the duty is ultimately imposed, and whether it serves its purpose of preventing U.S. producers from exporting ethanol to Europe.

Q: differential 1 - form of $\omega$ Let $\omega$ be a differential form.
$$\omega = \dfrac{xdy\wedge dz + ydz\wedge dx + zdx\wedge dy}{(x^2 + y^2+ z^2)^{3/2}}$$
1)Find $d\omega$.
2)show that exist 1-form $\theta$ such that $d\theta = \omega$ in half-space $z>0$.
3) Show that doesn't exist 1-form $\theta$ such that $d\theta = \omega$ in $ \mathbb R^3 \setminus\{0\} $
I found $d\omega$, it  equals zero, but i have no idea how to show in 2) and 3). Can you help me with this?

A: 2) You have shown in the first question that $\omega$ is closed, whence using Poincaré's lemma, it is exact on each contractible subsets of $\mathbb{R}^3$ on which $\omega$ is defined, such that the half-space $z>0$, since it is convex.
3) If $\omega$ were exact on $\mathbb{R}^3\setminus\{0\}$, using Stokes' theorem, its integral on $S^2$ would be zero, since $S^2$ has no boundary, but it is equal to $4\pi$.
I feel a bit guilty about not computing this integral, so let's do it:
$$\begin{align}\int_{S^2}\omega&=\int_{S^2}x\,\mathrm{d}y\wedge\mathrm{d}z+y\,\mathrm{d}z\wedge\mathrm{d}x+z\,\mathrm{d}x\wedge \mathrm{d}y,\tag{1}\\\tag{2}&=\int_{B^3}\mathrm{d}(x\,\mathrm{d}y\wedge\mathrm{d}z+y\,\mathrm{d}z\wedge\mathrm{d}x+z\,\mathrm{d}x\wedge\mathrm{d}y),\\\tag{3}&=3\int_{B^3}\mathrm{d}x\wedge\mathrm{d}y\wedge\mathrm{d}z,\\&=4\pi.\tag{4}\end{align}$$
Here are the steps behing each equality:

*

*$(1)$: $\omega_{\vert S^2}=x\,\mathrm{d}y\wedge\mathrm{d}z+y\,\mathrm{d}z\wedge\mathrm{d}x+z\,\mathrm{d}x\wedge\mathrm{d}y$, since $x^2+y^2+z^2=1$ for $(x,y,z)\in S^2$,

*$(2)$: Stokes' theorem on $B^3$, noticing that $\partial B^3=S^2$,

*$(3)$: $\mathrm{d}(x\,\mathrm{d}y\wedge\mathrm{d}z+y\,\mathrm{d}z\wedge\mathrm{d}x+z\,\mathrm{d}x\wedge\mathrm{d}y)=3\,\mathrm{d}x\wedge\mathrm{d}y\wedge\mathrm{d}z$, using standard properties of the wedge product and the exterior derivative,

*$(4)$: $\mathrm{d}x\wedge\mathrm{d}y\wedge\mathrm{d}z$ is the Lebesgue measure on $\mathbb{R}^3$ and the Lebesgue measure of $B^3$ is $4\pi/3$.

I hope that everything is crystal clear.

The wedding of sister of Lashkar-e-Toiba militant Liyaqat Ahmad Lone at village Harwan in Sopore in north Kashmir's Baramulla district turned into mourning after body of her militant brother, who was killed in a gunfight in Handwara in Kupwara, was brought to his native place.
The tent for arrival of Liyaqat's sister bridegroom was still intact when body of LeT militant reached his ancestral village at Harwan, Sopore.
The pall of gloom descended on the entire area.
Rubeena, the militant's sister who was to get married today, said Liyaqat's torturous life finally came to an end.
Sitting in a corner, Rubeena wearing a wedding dress said, "I was waiting for him to apply Mehandi on my hands but he instead applied his blood on my hands. However, I am happy because Liyaqat chose a righteous way. His torturous life has finally come to an end. We received a call at around 8:30 am and relatives informed us about his killing".
Rubeena, who is younger sister of Liyaqat, said the excesses committed by troops forced her brother to join militancy again despite having three kids.
"He could not bear such a life and eventually again took up a gun. Before joining militancy, police used to harass him on different pretexts. In a single year, he was arrested for two to three months. When you harass someone that person has no option but to pick up a gun. My brother had half a dozen FIRs lodged against him by police," she said.
Liyaqat's brother Javid Ahmad Lone, who got married yesterday, said after surrendering before forces in 2005 he was living a normal life.
"Liyaqat was doing fruit business. However, police used to harass him. Be it stone pelting, elections or any militant action in the area, police used to detained Liyaqat and interrogate him. The torture and harassment forced him to join militancy again," he said.
Liyaqat is survived by mother, wife, two sisters, brothers and 3 kids -- two daughters Maryam (9), Farhat-un-Nisa (6) and son Diyanat-ul-Islam (2).
Liyaqat went missing nine months ago and gun wielding picture had gone viral July 8.
No singing was going around as Rubeena and other family members were was sitting in a corner of a room in complete silence.
"We had also planned to hold marriage ceremony of Rubeena today. Four people were supposed to come. But instead of celebrating this moment, we are mourning death of our son. What else can be called as grief," said Taja Begum, the mother of Liyaqat.
Thousands of people gathered at Liyaqat's house when news about his killing in an encounter in Handwara spread.
Police, however, refuted family's version of forcing Liyaqat to join militant ranks.

A week is a long time in football, with many wanting to focus on the negatives surrounding the clubs and quite frankly I'm astonished that there is any. I would like to sing the praises of young Kristoffer Ajer.
With two defenders out injured, the young Norweigan was brought into the side to face Rosenborg, and his performance could be described as mature and professional.
The bhoy, who came in as a midfielder has found himself in the backline since coming to Scotland and did so for Kilmarnock last season.
Football can always offer a good player an opportunity, and Ajer's came last night, and on the night he did his reputation no harm whatsoever.
Before you think I'm getting too giddy about our young prospect, I do understand we were playing against a very defensive Rosenborg side, and there will be tougher opposition throughout the season, it's a good start at least.
Brendan Rodgers is keeping his cards close to his chest regarding the player, obviously, the player was on the field out of necessity last night, and Rodgers did this last season with young Eoghan O'Connell who also came in and did a decent job. However, the manager didn't see anything in the Irishman past that and has since been sold to Bury.
It will be up to Ajer to prove in the coming months that he is up to the task and could be a great squad player throughout the season. The alternative is another loan, but I hope we hold onto him.
He played well last night .. I'm not worried about the on field performance we missed a out and out striker last night and that needs to be remided but ajer and ntcham were both brilliant and with Griffiths back next week we will score .. there was no atmosphere last night and I'm more worried about that .
There's no need to get dizzy, the lad either had a good game or not, so let him be judged on the night and give the guy credit instead of the ifs and buts.
I don't think O'Connell ever gave a convincing performance.
The young fella was first class last night so good on him .What really passes me off is how longer is Forrest being allowed to get away with his rank rotten performances with impunity.When I think of the men who have been given the Number 7.Jersey when watching Forrest then I cringe.Let's face it,he shouldn't be mentioned in the same breath as Gallagher. Fernie. Johnstone. Dalglish. Larsson. Etc. .

Recently I was hired to do a video interview on Creativity and Innovation for Teams with MindEdge, a Boston-based online corporate learning company. As I prepared for the interview, I reflected on where I have achieved success with my clients and past employers when it comes to creativity and innovation.
See quick video clips of the interview below.
Organizations are most successful with innovation when they have a safe culture. A safe culture means that people are comfortable with being present, sharing ideas, and contributing in teams. Where failures are accepted as part of the process, open communication is practiced to include ideas from introverts and extroverts, and that diversity of ideas and backgrounds is tapped into to gain the best possible ideas and solutions. As Brene Brown says in her famous TED Talk and book The Power of Vulnerability: Teachings on Authenticity, Connection and Courage, by not supporting risk taking and vulnerability, innovation can't happen. Without a safe environment that is open to testing, risk taking, and failure, organizations stick to the same old ways to solve problems without any fresh, cutting edge ideas.
Another important aspect of promoting an innovative culture and organization is to allow the space and time to dabble in ideas. This may look like Google's 20% time, where employees have time each week devoted to "sand box" projects. It may also involve having teams work independently or establishing "skunk works" teams in companies, giving them flexibility and less formality. This allows for risk taking, testing, and playing with ideas in a structure that is more open and less hierarchical.
What are some ways you have strengthened your work environment to promote innovation and creativity? Please share in the comments. If you have specific questions, ask me. I'm happy to help.

Rays and Marlins Update and Punch-Out!!? [Wednesday Morning Quarterback]
May 20th, 2009 by Dan
It's time for Wednesday Morning Quarterback, your weekly sports round-up.
The Rays finally managed to hit the .500 mark two days ago only to lose last night against the Athletics in a heartbreaking game that remained scoreless until the 11th. You can't really say that the Rays have been on a tear, but they have won six of their last ten, which should continue to edge them upward in win percentage if they can continue. Two more games against the Athletics will be followed by three against the Marlins in their interleague series and we'll see how that turns out. The Rays are three games back from the Yankees and that needs to change. Unfortunately, the Yanks are playing the Orioles, so unless the Rays start capitalizing on the fact that they're playing a weak team in the Athletics, things are going to just get uglier for them. They're both good teams, but I think the Rays tended to edge out the Fish last year. Interleague games: the only time I root against the Tampa Bay Rays
Florida finds itself in fourth place as well, but only four games out, thanks to a loss to the Diamondbacks after two rained out games. They're playing alright, but they do really need to turn something around to make a run at the East.
Quick Aside: I was at the Pirates/Nats game last night where the Nats made it close in the 9th, tying up the game, and then blew it in the 10th. I also didn't get there in time for the free t-shirt.
Short break for a training montage…Imagine my fat trainer riding a bicycle ahead of me while I run behind him in a pink hoodie, the Manhattan skyline flowing past behind me…
This isn't the first time I've melded WMQ and Game Overview and it probably won't be the last. I picked up Punch-Out!! (those exclamation points are important!!) for Wii at Best Buy last night and, I've gotta say it's pretty awesome. If you ever played the original Punch-Out!! on the NES, you know how the game is played. The concepts remain identical, even with the new control schemes. You control Little Dan (as Little Mac becomes known when associated with my Mii in versus mode) like always who has a repertoire that includes jabs to the face and stomach, dodges to the left and right, ducking, blocking, and star punches (AKA massive uppercuts).
Each of the comically ethnically stereotyped boxers has a style all to their own. Most of their moves are wildly easy to predict or downright illegal in a real boxing ring, but still fun to counter and play. A lot of the original strategies are still there. You can still down Frenchman Glass Joe in one punch if you hit him at the right time. Piston Hondo (name changed from Piston Honda for legal (?) reasons) can still be dropped during his Hondo charge attack and King Hippo's shorts can still be loosened with a punch to his open mouth. In a nice touch, all the boxers speak their native tongue with no translation. It's quite funny and it really pulls you into the game to see Glass Joe babbling in French or King Hippo roaring…wait…do Hawaiians roar? Here's who I've faced so far in my quest for the championship:
Glass Joe
Pushover. Lightweight. Chump. I missed the first opportunity to clean his clock with one punch, but I landed the soft spot on his jaw in the second round and ended the fight with baguettes flying around the ring.
Von Kaiser
The German Mama's Boy returns. His tells are pretty easy and he can be knocked flat in no time at all.
Disco Kid
The first newcomer to hit the ring. Here's a pro-tip for the Kid: don't say "Here it comes!" before your left hooks and you might have a chance of landing one. Chump.
King Hippo
Belt Holder for the Minor Circuit and your first real challenge. This raging Hawaiian only knows that he wants to knock you out and hard. The band-aid on his belly is the dead-giveaway for his weakness. Just punch him in the face when his mouth is open and then lay into his fat, causing his shorts to drop. One knockdown will lead to a KO.
Piston Hondo
The Major Circuit starts off with this Japanese boxer. He loves to move his eyebrows before a jab. Punch him in the face to earn stars. Punching him during his little charge will put him on the mat.
Bear Hugger
The first of two Super Punch-Out!! characters in the game, this Canadian boxer served up my first loss. He likes to chug maple syrup and, here's an interesting little trick, if you star punch him while he's taunting you, he goes down on the mat. Hard.
Great Tiger
My second loss came from the Indian cheater Great Tiger. Ever seen a boxer poof, teleport, or create mirror images? If his turban flashes gold, you can get a star, but red flashes will lead to uppercuts. Ouch.
That's all I've faced so far. I'll keep you updated on any new fighters or fun that I have.

Blåmussla (Mytilus edulis) är ett blötdjur som ingår i gruppen musslor.

Kännetecken
Blåmusslans skal består av två skalhalvor, som är mörka med en blåskimrande nyans. Skalet är strömlinjeformat för att vatten lätt skall flyta förbi och förtjockat för att tåla kraftiga vågor. Blåmusslan kan stänga sitt skal med hjälp av speciella muskler, så kallade slutmuskler, om den känner sig hotad eller som skydd mot uttorkning. Den kan öppna det igen med hjälp av ett slags låsband, som kallas ligament. Blåmusslans storlek är beroende av förhållandena i dess livsmiljö. Vanligen blir de mellan 5 och 10 centimeter, men i sällsynta fall kan de bli ända upp till 20 centimeter. I Sverige blir blåmusslorna större på Västkusten än i Östersjön, där de oftast är mindre än genomsnittet, bara cirka 3 centimeter.

Utbredning
Blåmusslor finns naturligt vid kusterna i östra och västra Nordatlanten, samt i vattnen runt Japan. I Östersjön finns den, på djupare och därmed saltare vatten, till Bottniska viken. När salthalten i vattnet avtar blir blåmusslan småväxt.

Levnadssätt
Blåmusslan har en körtel som avsöndrar klibbiga trådar, så kallade byssustrådar, med vilkas hjälp den fäster sig vid ett lämpligt underlag, oftast en klippa eller en sten på 0 till 10 meters djup. Där kan bankar om 12 000 per m² finnas. Likt andra musslor livnär sig blåmusslan på små organiska partiklar, som växtplankton, vilka den filtrerar från vattnet. Den filtrerar ca 3 liter per timme. Trots att skalet skyddar blåmusslan från många fiender, kan den bli uppäten av till exempel sjöstjärnor och strandskator.

Fortplantning
Blåmusslans fortplantningstid är vår och försommar. Då släpper alla blåmusslor inom ett område samtidigt ut sina ägg och spermier i vattnet och litar på att vattenströmmarna för dem samman. Det är en framgångsrik strategi tack vare att varje mussla producerar flera miljoner ägg och spermier. Den lilla larven är frisimmande och driver omkring med strömmarna i ungefär en månad innan den slår sig ner och börjar livet som vuxen mussla. Den normala musslan lägger 5-12 miljoner ägg.

Etymologi
Det latinska ordet edulis i blåmusslans artnamn betyder "ätlig". Men den är inte den enda ätliga musslan.

Status
Blåmusslan som art är inte hotad.

Kulturhistoria
Blåmusslan är en viktig art för vattenbruk i många länder. Den plockas från musselbankar, vilket är en plats där många musslor sitter tätt ihop,  men odlas också i speciella musselodlingar för att ätas. Den är vanlig i det spanska, portugisiska, franska, tyska, belgiska och italienska köket.

En vanlig rätt är moules frites. Musslor har i Sverige varit lättillgänglig mat, musselskal hittas regelmässigt i köckenmöddingar längs kusten. När fisket med backor utvecklades på 1800-talet användes stora mängder musslor som agn. I början av 1930-talet började man konservera musslor i konservfabriker, något som pågick i Sverige till slutet av sextiotalet. Utomlands fortsätter detta alltjämt. Den största produktionen av konserverade musslor hade Abba Seafood på Gullholmen med ca 1 500 ton musslor per år. Den totala årliga råvaruåtgången beräknas ha varit 2 000–3 000 ton (enligt svensk fiskeristatistik fiskades som mest 973 ton år 1945).

A new Syria "red line": No Kurds in the Turkish-backed zone?
Regional View: July 24, 2015 map estimation of the perimeter of a potential Turkish occupation zone and U.S. no-fly zone in northern Syria. Enlarge Image.
The U.S. and Turkey have reached an understanding meant to assure the Ankara government that plans to drive Islamic State militants from a proposed safe zone in northern Syria won't clear the way for Kurdish fighters to move in.
However, [YPG leaders] said they had made no commitment not to cross the Euphrates.
Preventing Kurdish forces from taking advantage of U.S. and Turkish airstrikes in the area is "red line" for Turkey as it steps up to play a greater role in battling Islamic State, a Turkish official said Monday.
The United States promptly denied this report. However, the New York Times is still backing up the Wall Street Journal's version as late as today.
The Turkish deal with the United States sets up an "ISIS-free" bombardment zone along a 60-mile strip of the border region that features another exclusion: At Turkey's request, it is also explicitly a zone free of the Kurdish militia, even though the Kurds had begun advancing toward the area to start battling the Islamic State there.
Despite cooperating with American forces for months, the Syrian Kurds are now starting to worry that their success might not outweigh Turkey's importance to the United States.
I'm sorry, but if these reports of a rule excluding Kurdish fighters are actually true, this is bad policymaking. Pure impulse and incoherent nonsense. It has little strategic foresight or unifying logic, and it's probably tactically unenforceable at best.
As we argued in our recent op-ed in The Globalist, to recruit Turkey against ISIS, the United States lost sight of its true friends (the actually effective anti-ISIS — and non-salafist — Kurdish militant groups). This scattershot obsession with the crises of the moment has destroyed any U.S. attempts to form a coherent policy for Syria (or Iraq). We just flail aimlessly from one thing to the next — reacting, reacting, reacting.

Q: 'SenderID' issues sending SMS on Amazon SNS (Official PHP SDK) For some reason the SenderID seems to revert to NOTICE - see here  when I set the SenderID in the code.
When I leave the SenderID variable out, it sends as the default set - this is good, but we will be occasionally changing the name for different uses.
I am using the Official PHP SDK, with the code below:
$aws_cred = array(
    'credentials' => array(
        'key' => 'GOT THE KEY',
        'secret' => 'GOT THE SECRET',
    ),
    'region' => 'eu-west-1', // < your aws from SNS Topic region
    'version' => 'latest'
    );
    $sns = new \Aws\Sns\SnsClient($aws_cred);

    $args = array(
    "SenderID" => "MySendID",
    "SMSType" => "Promotional",
    "Message" => "Amazon y u do dis??",
    "PhoneNumber" => "+number"
    );

    $result = $sns->publish($args);

I am sending to the UK (so SID works there), and also it is within the 11 character limit.
Does anyone have any idea why this is happening?
Cheers

A: I have found the answer.
The search system didn't materialise this originally, but finally, I have found it.

I found the solution. Set the args this way. It works!
$args = array(
    'MessageAttributes' => [
          'AWS.SNS.SMS.SenderID' => [
               'DataType' => 'String',
               'StringValue' => 'YourSenderName'
        ]
     ],
      "SMSType" => "Transactional",
      "PhoneNumber" => "+87654321",
      "Message" => "Hello World!"
);

A:
(Optional) For Sender ID, type a custom ID that contains up to 11
  alphanumeric characters, including at least one letter and no spaces.
  The sender ID is displayed as the message sender on the receiving
  device. For example, you can use your business brand to make the
  message source easier to recognize.
Support for sender IDs varies by country. For example, messages
  delivered to U.S. phone numbers will not display the sender ID. For
  the countries that support sender IDs, see Supported Regions and
  Countries.
If you do not specify a sender ID, the message will display a long
  code as the sender ID in supported countries. For countries that
  require an alphabetic sender ID, the message displays NOTICE as the
  sender ID.

to sumerise you cant use spaces(you have one) and it wont always work, it depends on country and carrier, it wont work in more places than it will
