The White House said Biden congratulated Abiy on the release of several political prisoners while the two leaders discussed ways "to accelerate the dialogue towards a negotiated ceasefire, the urgency of improving the humanitarian access across Ethiopia and the need to address the human rights concerns of all affected Ethiopians. "
The US president also expressed his concern over recent airstrikes and the killing of civilians.
"The two leaders stressed the importance of the US-Ethiopia relationship, the potential to strengthen cooperation on a range of issues and the need for concrete progress to resolve the conflict," the White House said.
Biden has stepped up US diplomatic efforts in Africa, specifically appointing a special envoy to the Horn of Africa.
Veteran diplomat Jeffrey Feltman took office last year, but announced his decision to step down last week.
Outgoing US Ambassador to Turkey David Satterfield will replace Feltman.

Mignot Memorial Hospital is the principal hospital in Alderney, Channel Islands. It is located in the northern part of St. Anne, and operates as part of the States of Guernsey Health and Social Services Department. The hospital was established in 2008 and has 22 beds, serving Alderney's population of 2,300. 14 beds are used for continuing care; 8 of the beds are used for medical, post-operative, maternity or paediatric care.

Layout
The hospital complex was developed in two phases. In the first phase of construction, which replaced an old temporary structure built in 1960s, was the ward complex with 14 single rooms, two maternity wards and two examination rooms. This phase was completed in May 2007 and a formal inauguration was graced by The Princess Royal. The BBC gave coverage to the new hospital prior to its inauguration. Soon thereafter, the second phase which involved construction of five intensive care wards and outpatient services with an additional entrance was also completed in 2008.

Modern equipment
It has a modern X-ray unit. A diagnostic instrument manufactured and supplied by Siemens Health care to the hospital is the "MULTIX TOP analogue X-ray system". This radiographic system replaced an older version, which was in use in the hospital for 14 years. The new X-ray equipment has enhanced the capability of the hospital in radiography by providing superior quality of images and total manoeuvrability of the equipment. The advantage of this instrument is stated to be "the ergonomic design of the ceiling-mounted X-ray system, which enables radiographers to access patients from all sides of the table."

Services
Residents of Guernsey, Alderney, Herm or Jethou paying Social Security contributions are covered by the Specialist Health Insurance Scheme and so may receive specialist care and treatment free of charge at the hospital.  Patients from countries with a reciprocal health agreement with Guernsey are exempt from charges. Alderney residents may choose to be treated privately at the hospital.

The hospital has two GPs and occasional visiting specialists who hold out-patient clinics, especially from the Princess Elizabeth Hospital in Guernsey which acts as a parent institution to the Mignot Memorial Hospital of Alderney. The hospital has a 24-hour accident and emergency clinic, a physiotherapy department and a small radiography unit. Women giving birth to children in Alderney are generally taken to Guernsey.

Legal amendment
Subsequent to the opening of the new hospital in Alderney, legal amendments have been issued with changes made in the rules existing since 1997. An Ordinance titled  "the Health Service (Alderney Hospital Benefit) (Amendment) Ordinance, 2008" has been issued with modifications in "paragraph 3(a), for the definition of "the Alderney hospital contract", as inserted in section 39(1) of the Law of 1990 by the Ordinance of 1997"  substituted  by "the Alderney hospital contract" means any agreement, for the time being in force, for the provision of Alderney hospital benefit at the Mignot Memorial Hospital, Alderney, made between the States of Guernsey and a supplier of medical care services approved for the purposes by the States Health and Social Services Department;" with additional provisions related to nursing.

Q: reverse on array - got returned function:IBMJS built-in function I am trying to reverse an array e.g.
<xp:text escape="true" >
        <xp:this.value><![CDATA[#{javascript:var fruits = ["Banana", "Orange", "Apple", "Mango"];
fruits.reverse();}]]></xp:this.value>
    </xp:text>

but I get returned:
function:IBMJS built-in function
How can  perform a reverse on array via SSJS in xpages?

A: Re-posting my comment as an answer as suggested by @xpages-noob
I think it is working (as in it's reversing the contents of the array). If you return fruits.join(" "); as the result of your computed field it will show "Mango Apple Orange Banana" (See this link too. Not XPages - but same issue http://ibm.software.network.directory-integrator.narkive.com/i0I2h3Rp/array-s-reverse-method-cannot-be-used-in-tdi)

You Can Watch Carrie Underwood Sing With Her Son Isaiah During Her New Christmas Special
December 25, 2020 badmin
Christmas is here early for Carrie Underwood fans!
The country superstar's new streaming TV event, My Gift: A Christmas Special From Carrie Underwood, was just released on HBO Max on Thursday. The 54-minute program shows Carrie take the stage to perform a handful of holiday classics as well as original tracks from her first-ever Christmas album, My Gift. It also gives viewers a behind-the-scenes look at how the singer's new album was made, with an appearance by one very adorable guest.
Carrie's 5-year-old son Isaiah joined her to record a mother-son rendition of "The Little Drummer Boy" and it might just be the sweetest thing you'll watch this year. The singer shared a sneak peek of her duet with Isaiah on Instagram on Tuesday and, well, you just need to see for yourself.
A post shared by Carrie Underwood (@carrieunderwood)
Seriously—does it get any cuter?!
"So happy we captured the sweetest voice in this special moment in time," Carrie wrote alongside the photo of herself and her oldest son.
She explains in the HBO special that having her little boy be a part of the album was so important to her because "children are truly our greatest gift." It was extra meaningful because "The Little Drummer Boy" is one of Carrie's "absolute favorite" Christmas songs.
Isaiah, for his part, took working with his mom very seriously. He showed up to the recording session dressed in a collared shirt and assured Carrie that he was ready for anything.

"I can do it as much times as you want," he says to her in the special. (But, of course, he nailed the song right away!)
"If nothing else, I have this for the rest of my life," Carrie says.

More than half of Mexican companies surveyed for a study released July 3 reported paying bribes to expedite business procedures in 2016.
The first National Survey of Regulatory Quality and Governmental Impact on Enterprises also found that about 2 out of 5 of the 34,681 companies surveyed paid bribes to avoid fines or sanctions, and one third paid to obtain licenses or permits.
The survey was conducted by Mexico's National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI).
Adrian Franco, INEGI's director of statistics of government, security and justice, confirmed that the total national cost of corruption in 2016 was estimated at 1.6 billion pesos (US$ 87.2 million), PanAm Post reported.
The average cost of corruption for each of Mexico's 4.5 million companies was 12,243 pesos (US$ 667.37), with larger companies budgeting up to 48,425 pesos (US$ 2,639.66).
In terms of the companies' perception of corruption by public servants, 82.2 percent believe that acts of corruption, such as demanding bribes, are frequent.
The perception of corruption is highest among the smallest businesses, and in the states of Tabasco, Veracruz and Mexico City.
The former governor of Veracruz, Javier Duarte, was arrested in April on charges of embezzlement and organized crime.
Transparency International ranked Mexico #123 out of 176 countries in the 2016 Corruption Perceptions Index, with a score of 30 – 0 representing "highly corrupt" and 100 "very clean."
Violence in Mexico also recently surpassed its highest level in 20 years, and the country is now one of the most dangerous in the world for journalists, the BBC reports.


Let's face it. Getting rid of old books and knickknacks is much easier than tossing out a relationship, a weekly class, a house that is too big, or a job that doesn't suit your passions. So what do you do to declutter your life?
Rebecca is a writer, spiritual life coach, healer and modern day mystic.
Do you wake up with a full mind overflowing with the have-tos -- meetings, classes, family, and the all too common "What the hell am I doing with my life?"
Does your mind resemble an episode from one of those reality television shows about hoarders? Are you a closet hoarder? Are you holding on to things in your life because you don't know how to get rid of them? Let's face it. Getting rid of old books and knickknacks is much easier than tossing out a relationship, a weekly class, a house that is too big, or a job that doesn't suit your passions.
So what do you do to declutter your life?
1. First take inventory of your life and thoughts. What overwhelms you? Spend a day taking notes of your thoughts. When you wake up in the morning what are you thinking about? When you are driving from here to there, what are you thinking about?
Take note of your mind filling thoughts and they will lead you to where the clutter resides in your life.
-- Does it bring joy?
-- Are you holding on to out of fear or guilt?
-- Does it only sometimes feel right?
-- Are you following an expectation?
3. Now that you know what is a keeper -- enjoy these items and appreciate them as a part of your life. As for your "get rid of" list, just like when you de-clutter your living room, you have to decide how to get rid of what you no longer need. Some things go to friends, some to thrift stores and some even the trash. But where do these real life "things" go?
Decisions need to be made. Start brainstorming how you can get rid of each thing. Sometimes it will be as easy as just cancelling an exercise class you really don't like. Sometimes it may take more work like choosing a different career path. This will definitely take a bit more work. But don't let the fear get the best of you. Be brave and bold. Remember to get rid of that which does not serve you.
As for the maybe list, sit with these items for the time being. Once you are better at decluttering your life you will eventually know exactly what list they belong in, "keeper" or "get rid of."
4. Finally live and do with ease. Life should be easy and things that are meant to be will be. When thing get or feel hard, there is a reason for it. Life isn't meant to be difficult. When it gets difficult ask why. Don't push when things don't feel right.
De-cluttering your life allows for movement and freedom. Fill your days with those things that make you feel free and light. In time you will wake with a mind that will see the light streaming through the curtains and a day full of everything you want. Free and light!

Lasseter is an Australian musical with book and lyrics by Reg Livermore and music by Sandra McKenzie and Patrick Flynn. Described as a musical fable, it follows the spiritual journey of a disillusioned group of young people who leave the city and temptations of consumer society in search of a Utopia in the Australian outback. The title of the musical was inspired by the explorer Harold Bell Lasseter (but the musical is not about him).

Development
Livermore, best known at that time as an actor, started working on Lasseter about the same time he joined the cast of the Australian production of Hair. It was the third musical written by Livermore, after West of the Black Stump (1964) and The Good Ship Walter Raleigh (1963). The musical has an eclectic rock score in the style of Hair.  Flynn and McKenzie were also involved in Hair as musical director and stage director respectively.

Productions
Lasseter opened at the Parade Theatre in Sydney on 8 October 1971, produced by the Old Tote Theatre Company. The season finished on 6 November 1971.  It was directed by Jim Sharman with choreography by Keith Bain, musical direction by Flynn and design by Brian Thomson. The production had a cast of 21 and five musicians. As well as Livermore, the cast included Jeannie Lewis, Drew Forsythe, Helen Morse, Garry McDonald and John Waters and a number of other notable Australian performers.

Reception
Margaret Jones in the Sydney Morning Herald described the musical as "more of an all-out sensual attack than a theatrical production".  She highlighted potential audience division: "If you think the rejection by youth of the values of a materialistic society is valid, and that peace, love and beauty are realisable ideals rather than impossible dreams, then Lasseter will touch you deeply.  If you think the youth cult is ridiculous and drop-outs are only poseurs who will drop back in again as soon as they regain their senses, then you will find the play a load of old rubbish".

Livermore and Flynn would go on to create the musical Ned Kelly together.

The Atlona CLSO Series of switchers and matrix switchers addresses an array of AV switching, routing, and processing needs for presentation spaces. Perhaps you're designing a classroom for HDMI and legacy analog sources with a long distance run to the display. Maybe it's a conference room where input and output signals must travel a great distance. Then there's the complex divisible space where AV signals must be dedicated to different zones with the flexibility to route identical or separate signals to the displays. For these applications and more, the CLSO Series is ideal for your application, regardless of your single output switcher or matrix switcher needs.
The Atlona AT-UHD-CLSO-601 offers a simpler set of inputs for applications when all sources are near the switcher by providing four HDMI and two multi-function analog inputs, to enable the use of both new and legacy sources with HDMI displays. Features include a microphone input with 48 volt phantom power and ducking, allowing the switcher to address a wide array of AV switching and processing needs often encountered in classrooms, conference rooms, boardrooms, training rooms and other presentation settings.
The AT-UHD-CLSO-612ED eliminates the need for multiple components and simplifies the important steps in getting content from any source to whatever display and audio system the customer is using, including 4K monitors or projectors.The switcher addresses customers' needs to provide inputs on lecterns, conference tables, and locations distant from the switcher.The AT-UHD-CLSO-612ED utilizes Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology to power remote HDBaseT transmitters and receivers.Combining multiple components to address each process – scaling, converting, and delivering the signal to the display – into a single solution reduces system complexity and cost and increases reliability.
The AT-UHD-CLSO-824 brings advanced multi-format matrix switching to the CLSO series of classroom and small office switchers.The mix of inputs supports remote inputs from lecterns and conference room tables via HDBaseT transmission as well as local sources in the equipment rack.The matrix serves a wide array of room configurations with two HDBaseT video outputs, each featuring a mirrored HDMI port to provide an additional output for a local display or an Atlona Extender Kit.The AT-UHD-CLSO-824 serves as the centerpiece of complex systems where audio and video signals must be dedicated to different zones or provide the flexibility to route identical or separate video signals to the two displays in larger rooms.
The Atlona AT-UHD-CLSO-840 is the integrator's choice for advanced presentation systems with multiple AV destinations that may include displays, videoconferencing systems, lecture capture, or AV streaming systems. This 8×4 matrix switcher features HDMI and HDBaseT inputs and outputs ideal for a wide variety of systems designs that may include sources and displays situated at various locations throughout a room, or even adjacent rooms in the case of a divisible room installation. The CLSO-840 is also equipped with a host of advanced audio routing and processing features for seamless integration with a dedicated DSP, or simply embedding program audio for a display. Though designed for advanced AV systems, the CLSO-840 is uniquely straightforward and user-friendly when it comes to setup, commissioning, and everyday operation.

Чину́к () — порода собак, выведенная в США в начале XX века американским кинологом Артуром Уолденом и названа в честь одной из первых собак, которые легли в основу этой породы. Это ездовые собаки, способные быстро передвигаться и перевозить тяжёлые грузы. Хорошо приспособлены для работы в условиях отрицательных температур.

История породы
Порода была выведена Артуром Уолденом на основе эскимосского шпица, хаски и сенбернара с приливом кровей местных ездовых собак-метисов. По другим версиям, в основу породы также легли крови догов и лаек. Из числа этих животных Уолден брал в разведение собак, показывающих максимальные результаты по скорости и выносливости в ездовой работе. Его целью было создать собственную американскую породу, сравнимую с сибирским хаски по быстроте, с высоким уровнем выносливости и скорости, хорошо приспособленную к местным климатическим условиям и способную эффективно работать в упряжке.

Своё название порода получила по имени одного из кобелей, чья кровь легла в основу создания новой породы. Повязав беспородного, большого, мастифоподобного кобеля по кличке Ким и Гренландскую собаку, прямого потомка знаменитого Поляриса — лидера упряжки Роберта Пири, Артур получил трех щенков. Он назвал их Рикки, Тикки и Тави. По мере взросления, Рикки начал проявлять черты, которые искал Уолден; он дал ему новую кличку — Чинук, в честь Эскимосской собаки, которая была лидером его упряжки во времена Золотой Лихорадки на Юконе.

Чинук родился в 1917 году, использовался в соревнованиях по гонкам на собачьих упряжках, где неоднократно устанавливал рекорды в нескольких номинациях. В 1927 году Чинук был поставлен вожаком собачьей упряжки, которая должна была сопровождать экспедицию адмирала Бэрда на Южный полюс.

В 1930—1940-е годы собаки этой породы активно использовались в качестве ездовых собак, но уже к 50-м годам их численность стала снижаться. Сохранением популяции стала заниматься Американская ассоциация породы чинук. Однако численность собак этой породы все равно снижалась. К 1965 году чинуки были занесены в Книгу рекордов Гиннеса как самая малочисленная на тот момент порода. К 1981 году численность чинуков составляла 28 голов.  Несмотря на свою крайне малую численность, порода получила официальное признание кинологических организаций. Так, например, Объединённым клубом собаководства (UKC) эта порода была признана в 1991 году. Постепенно численность породы стала увеличиваться и к 2013 году чинуков зарегистрировано 813 голов. В этом же году порода получила признание Американского клуба собаководства (AKC). С 2009 года порода является символом штата Нью-Гемпшир (США).

Внешний вид
Чинук производит впечатление сильной, мощной собаки.

Голова имеет среднюю длину, при этом длина морды немного короче длины лба. Переход ото лба к морде выражен умеренно. Голова сухая, кожа не образует складчатости. Нос большой, обязательно чёрного окраса, слегка выступающий. Губы чёрного цвета, слегка висячие. Морда зауженная. Глаза имеют миндалевидную форму, среднего размера. Цвет тёмно-карий или янтарный. Веки выражено пигментированы. Уши среднего размера, широко расставлены, слегка опущены. Внешние края ушей загибаются внутрь. Кожа уха плотная, имеет хорошее опушение. Шея сильная, имеет небольшой изгиб. Кожа на шее образует небольшой подвес.

Тело имеет слегка вытянутый формат, верхняя линия спины прямая, круп имеет небольшой скос. Грудная клетка вытянутая, округлой формы, заметно выступает вперёд. Живот подтянутый, общее телосложение сухое, мускулистое. Передние конечности расположены прямо под холкой, крепкие, хорошо развитые, прямые, со слегка скошенной пястью. На передних лапах у чинуков допустимо сохранение прибылых пальцев. Задние конечности имеют мощные бёдра и вытянутый скакательный сустав, стоят параллельно друг другу. Задний прибылой палец должен быть удалён. Пальцы передних и задних лап сильно выражены, плотно собраны друг к другу. Подушечки лап жёсткие, тёмные. Между пальцами наличествует небольшая перепонка, сильно развит межпальцевый волос. Хвост имеет саблевидную форму, хорошо опушён. По низу хвоста идёт более длинный украшающий волос. Будучи опущенным вниз, хвост имеет длину примерно до скакательного сустава.

Шерсть состоит из подшёрстка и ости, граница между которыми явно выражена. Подшёрстком мягкий, хорошо развит, имеет плотную текстуру и даёт хорошую набивку. Ость грубая, плотно прилегающая к шкуре. Украшающий волос наиболее развит на хвосте и шее. Допустимые окрасы — от светло-медового до красновато-золотого. Допустимо наличие небольшой затемнённости на морде и ушах. Недопустимо наличие белых отметин. Недостатком является любой другой окрас, кроме названных.

Высота в холке — 53—69 см, средний вес — 25—32 кг.

Содержание, уход и здоровье
Чинук мало подходит для жизни в небольшом помещении, ведь ему необходимы физические нагрузки, движение. Но, несмотря на это, чинук может стать великолепным другом и защитником человеку, если этот человек достаточно активен. Чинуки выносливы и активны, при содержании дома им требуется большое количество выгула, при этом прогулки должны содержать физические нагрузки и интеллектуальную занятость.

У чинуков плотная шерсть и мягкий плотный подшёрсток, но при этом в частом вычёсывании и мытье эти собаки не нуждаются. Вычёсывать их требуется только в период линьки. В период отрицательных температур на улице при мытье важно следить за тем, чтобы шерсть и подшерсток полностью высохли перед тем, как они выйдут из помещения. При неполном просыхании подшерстка у этих собак большой риск переохлаждения во время пребывания на улице, при этом с сухой шерстью и подшёрстком отрицательные температуры они переносят легко.

Собаки породы чинук имеют медленное созревание, отдельные собаки этой породы окончательно формируются только к 4 годам. В числе генетических заболеваний, которым подвержены представители породы, — заболевания эндокринной системы (гипотиреоз) и заболевания скелета (дисплазия тазобедренного сустава). Средняя продолжительность жизни — 12—15 лет.

Характер
Чинуки — рабочие ездовые собаки, обладающие рядом специфических черт характера. Собакам этой породы характерен высокий интеллект и высокая обучаемость, преданность, ориентированность на хозяина. Чинуки могут запоминать большое количество разнообразных команд. Так как собака выводилась для работы в упряжке, чинуки обладают миролюбивым характером, не конфликтны с другими собаками, как и с другими видами животных.

Применение
Исторически собаки породы чинук использовались для работы в упряжках. В современном мире чинуки также сохраняют своё основное рабочее назначение, и в тех кинологических федерациях, где они признаны, чинуки относятся к рабочим группам собак. Кроме того, чинуки используются в развлекательной сфере для катания на собачьих упряжках, также они применяются в спорте с собаками для буксировки лыжников. Также благодаря высокому интеллекту чинуки могут применяться в поисково-спасательных работах, особенно в районах Крайнего Севера. Чинуки также выступают на соревнованиях по аджилити и соревнованиях по послушанию.

She helped broker a reconciliation in 1890 between the National Woman Suffrage Association and the American Equal Rights Association, which had split in 1869 over whether or not to support the 15th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Shaw became president of the National American Woman Suffrage Association (NAWSA) after the two groups merged, and focused on securing a national constitutional amendment granting women the right to vote. She resigned as NAWSA president in 1915 because she opposed the militant tactics being employed by younger NAWSA members Alice Paul and Lucy Burns, such as picketing the White House. Carrie Chapman Catt took over as NAWSA president. For Shaw's service as head of the Women's Committee of the U.S. Council of National Defense during WWI, she became the first woman awarded the Distinguished Service Medal, for exceptionally meritorious service to the government in a duty of great responsibility related to the U.S. military. In a speech shortly before her death in 1919 she said that "the only way to refute" the argument that America was a democracy and therefore American women were entitled to vote was "to prove that women are not people."

Wordcloud9, I had never heard of Ferris Wheel Day. Is it a new thing or an event with historic significance?
It does have historic significance! It's the birthday of the inventor, George Washington Ferris, who was born on February 14, 1859.
From the National Calendar webpage:
This unofficial national holiday is held today to honor the birth of the inventor of the Ferris Wheel, George Washington Gale Ferris, Jr.
Preparations for the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition began in earnest in 1891. Director of works for the fair, Daniel H. Burnham, laid out the challenge: create a centerpiece to the show that will rival the Eiffel Tower in Paris.
Erected the year before, the Eiffel Tower was quickly becoming a world attraction. Ideas were tossed about, plans presented and plans rejected.
George Washington Gale Ferris was inspired. He contemplated several ideas, but it wasn't until one evening in a Chicago chophouse that he struck on an idea that could fit the challenge. After sketching out the design on napkins, he proceeded to develop his plans.
When presented with the concept Burnham balked, doubting it could safely carry people to such heights. Ferris persisted. Spending $25,000 of his own money, he paid for safety studies, obtained $600,000 more from investors, hired engineers and built the 250-foot diameter wheel and hoisted it up between 140-foot twin towers.
It was a colossal success at 26 stories tall and making a whopping $726,805.50. In 1893, that was a hefty profit for the fair.
Despite the wheel's success, Ferris struggled after the fair. Lawsuits over who owed who bankrupt him. His wife left him. Then in 1896, a few short years after the fair, he died at the age of 37 of typhoid fever.
The original wheel suffered a similar fate. In 1906, it was destroyed with dynamite for scrap metal. The idea has lived on, and wheels continue to be enjoyed around the world.

Cotton Fields No More
by Gilbert C. Fite (Author)
Nonfiction History History by country United States Southern states (AL, AR, FL, GA, KY, LA, MS, NC, SC, TN, VA, WV) Science and technics Technology & engineering Agronomy, agriculture Other Social history Business & economics Industries Agribusiness
No general history of southern farming since the end of slavery has been published until now. For the first time, Gilbert C. Fite has drawn together the many threads that make up commercial agricultural development in the eleven states of the old Confederacy, to explain why agricultural change was so slow in the South, and then to show how the agents of change worked after 1933 to destroy the old and produce a new agriculture.
Fite traces the decline and departure of King Cotton as the hard taskmaster of the region, and the replacement of cotton by a somewhat more democratically rewarding group of farm products: poultry, cattle, swine; soybeans; citrus and other fruits; vegetables; rice; dairy products; and forest products. He shows how such crop changes were related to other developments, such as the rise of a capital base in the South, mainly after World War II; technological innovation in farming equipment; and urbanization and regional population shifts.
Based largely upon primary sources, Cotton Fields No More will become the standard work on post-Civil War agriculture in the South. It will be welcomed by students of the American South and of United States agriculture, economic, and social history.

One big potential bulwark against President Trump's attempts to subvert the law is his own administration. If Trump's aides and appointees go along with his various power grabs, Trump may well succeed. If other officials refuse, he is likely to fail.
Who exactly has been threatening him? The president of the United States who appointed him, as well as members of the president's party in Congress.
Put in a terribly uncomfortable position, Rosenstein showed how to stand up for the rule of law. In doing so, he is keeping faith with a tradition of Justice Department independence that spans both Democratic and Republican administrations over the past half-century — but that Trump is trying to break.
Rosenstein's example is particularly important, because he hasn't always been willing to stand up to his boss. But he now seems to have found his courage. If only more members of Congress and Republican elders would do the same.
Iran deal. In Israel this week, we saw another cost to Trump's disinterest in facts.
Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, gave a televised presentation bashing the Iran nuclear deal, but he offered no evidence that Iran has violated its terms. Netanyahu instead talked about Iran's efforts to disguise its nuclear program before it agreed to a deal in 2015 with the United States, China and European countries. Surely, Netanyahu — who has opposed the deal since the beginning — would have offered evidence of cheating if that evidence existed.
Trump is likely to announce a decision on the deal before the end of summer.
In The Times, my colleague Bret Stephens offers a different take, writing that Iran's history of dishonesty and noncompliance means that the United States should not keep the current deal. The Times editorial board criticizes Netanyahu's "flimflam." And Antony Blinken, President Barack Obama's former deputy secretary of state, argues that scrapping the Iran deal would damage the chances of a nuclear deal with North Korea.

Variety Read Next: Josh Duhamel in Talks to Replace Armie Hammer in 'Shotgun Wedding'
Nov 20, 2014 1:35pm PT
Lionsgate Taps Evan Katz to Direct Comedy-Thriller 'You'll Be the Death of Me'
Randy Perry
E.L. "Evan" Katz will direct comedy-thriller "You'll Be the Death of Me" for Mandeville Pictures with Lionsgate distributing.
Mandeville's Todd Lieberman will produce. Katz will direct from a script by Mark Hammer that tells the story of two single New Yorkers who find their budding romance complicated by the attention of a masked knife-wielding psychopath.
Katz directed 2013's "Cheap Thrills," starring Pat Healy, Ethan Embry, David Koechner and Sara Paxton, as his first feature. It sold to Drafthouse Films and won the audience award at South by Southwest.
Katz also directed a segment in the recent "ABCs of Death 2" horror anthology.
Katz is repped by Gersh, manager Jeremy Platt and attorney Kim Stenton.
Correction: A previous version of this story conflated E.L. Katz with Evan Katz, a producer on "24." We regret the error.

The effect of reduced eyedrop size and eyelid closure on the therapeutic index of phenylephrine
J. T. Whitson, R. Love, R. H. Brown, M. G. Lynch, R. D. Schoenwald
In this study we examined the relative effects of reducing eyedrop size (from 30 μl to 10 μl) and eyelid closure on the ocular efficacy and systemic absorption of 10% phenylephrine. Thirteen subjects participated in a quadruple crossover study that involved dilation with a 10-μl and a 30-μl drop of phenylephrine with and without eyelid closure. The 10-μl drop was just as effective for pupillary dilation as the 30-μl drop. Eyelid closure improved dilation for both drop sizes. Both eyelid closure and reducing the drug volume decreased systemic absorption of phenylephrine as measured by plasma concentration. When used together, eyelid closure and the smaller drop size reduced plasma concentration by 45%. The therapeutic index for 10% phenylephrine appears to be improved by using a 10-μl drop followed by eyelid closure.
