New Charges of Espionage Filed Against Iranian-American Sociologist
(26 November 2009) The International Campaign for Human Rights in Iran expressed serious concerns about new charges introduced by Revolutionary Guards commanders in the prosecution of Kian Tajbakhsh, an Iranian-American sociologist.
"It appears the Revolutionary Guards are seeking to justify their severe repression since the June elections by ratcheting up baseless espionage charges against Tajbakhsh in order to demonstrate foreign involvement and make him a scapegoat," said Aaron Rhodes, a Campaign spokesperson.
Earlier this week, Tajbakhsh was brought in front of the Third Branch of the Security Court, which is a new court created and controlled apparently by the Revolutionary Guards to prosecute dissidents. He was charged with new allegations of spying based on emails he wrote to Middle East specialists on the Gulf 2000 list, which includes hundreds of experts, diplomats, and journalists. According to information received by the Campaign, high ranking Revolutionary Guards commanders initiated the new charges against Tajbakhsh. He is currently held in solitary confinement in Evin prison and denied release on bail.
Tajbakhsh has been already sentenced to 15 years in prison by a lower court, which charged him with multiple counts, including "acting against national security, by membership in the internet network related to Gary Sick, a CIA agent, and other foreign elements with the purpose of urging people to riot in presidential elections; spying and connections with foreign elements against the sacred system of the Islamic Republic; accepting a consultancy position with the Soros Foundation aimed at the soft overthrow of the Islamic Republic of Iran; propaganda activities against the sacred system of the Islamic Republic by participation in illegal assemblies and causing doubt and giving impression of fraud and cheating in election results; and causing lack of public trust towards the official national organs and the ruling system by instigating rioting, mayhem, fear and terror within the society." No evidence was presented in Tajbakhsh's trial to support these grave charges.
"If an innocent man's freedom and well-being were not at stake, the espionage charges based on participation in the OSI and Gulf 2000 would be nothing more than ludicrous attempts to smear a noted scholar who has assiduously steered clear of political entanglements," Rhodes said.
The Campaign fears for the health and safety of Tajbakhsh in view of recent judicial proceedings in dissidents' cases that have contravened Iranian law.
On 11 November, Ehsan Fattahian, a Kurdish activist, was executed even though a lower court had sentenced him to 10 years in prison. The appeals court added the charge of Moharebeh, or "enmity towards God," and issued the death sentence for Fattahian. Iranian law explicitly forbids appeals courts from increasing a lower court's sentence. New charges against Tajbakhsh signal that a similar extrajudicial process maybe underway.
Tajbakhsh has been denied access to an independent lawyer and the authorities have restricted his legal representation to a court appointed lawyer, Houshang Azhari.
The Campaign called on the Iranian judiciary to immediately release Tajbakhsh and all other dissidents and activists who have been unfairly persecuted and prosecuted. The Campaign also expressed serious concerns that the Revolutionary Guards appear to be taking over judicial organs and manipulating them to permit extrajudicial detentions and sentences.
"If an innocent man's freedom and well-being were not at stake, the espionage charges based on participation in Gulf 2000 would be nothing more than ludicrous attempts to smear a noted scholar who has assiduously steered clear of political entanglements," Rhodes said.

We can all agree on the fact that crypto miners made a huge mess on the GPU market during the past year or so. One of the many issues that generated from the mining frenzy, is the one about second-hand fake GPUs being sold online.
Unfortunately for buyers, there is no way to tell if the GPU you're buying is actually what's advertised on the box, until you plug it into a system and check the specs.
Once again, Techpowerup comes to the rescue, updating its own GPU-Z utility and adding a feature that will detect a fake GPU and notify the user about it. Needless to say, you'll still need to plug the GPU into your system before being able to test its authenticity, and by that time you might have already been scammed; still, it's good to know if what you've bought is actually what you wanted to buy or not.
To test your GPU, you will simply have to update your GPU-Z utility to the 2.13.0 version, released today, that also contains a few bug fixes.


While we are jettisoning our remaining extant cultural decorum as it pertains to confirming an associate justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, I am reminded of the Clinton era, and the many scandals that rocked our realm as to the sexual conduct of the President of the United States. The most unsavory at the time was the Monica Lewinsky incident. There was no denial as to what happened, rather the issue was if Bill Clinton deserved to stay in the White House as the leader of the free world. You know what was one of the hardest parts of that time for me? It was having the innocence of the kids in my life sullied over a DNA stain on a dress, and that result is something that not many people are talking about -- the effect of all of this on Kavanaugh's kids.
Brett Kavanaugh has two beautiful, young daughters who should be protected as long as possible from the slime that they'll encounter all too soon. I doubt Di-Fi thought about them in terms of "sisterhood-is-powerful" when she and others set out to destroy their father's reputation, career, and life for political purposes in the name of being a so-called voice for women. Can you imagine what it must be like for an 8 year-old daughter to wonder if Coach K, the name she has for her daddy who coaches her school basketball team, is secretly someone who could give a flying flip about women? Congratulations, females. Your lack of integrity may just succeed in inspiring people to return to not believing a woman when she says she's been harmed, and you have hurt two beautiful girls. Way to go.

Pakistan's Musharraf flees court
After judge orders arrest for treason
Published April 18, 2013 at 9:47am
(NBC NEWS) ISLAMABAD -- Former Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf fled a court pursued by lawyers on Thursday after a judge ordered his arrest on treason charges.
Musharraf, a retired general, took power in Pakistan in a coup in 1999 and was an ally of the West until he resigned in 2008.
After nearly four years of self-imposed exile in England and despite Taliban death threats, he returned to Pakistan last month hoping to win a seat in the country's National Assembly in elections in May.

Lynd Residential Acquires 438-Unit M-F in Houston
Lynd Residential Properties acquired the Limestone, a 21-building, 438-unit apartment complex in the Briar Forest-Ashwood submarket of Houston, with plans to upgrade the property and thus increase its value.
Keith Loria
"We look for markets with long-term fundamentals, and if you break it down, Texas did extremely well during the downturn and has great prospects going forward," Victor Mendiola, Lynd's president of acquisitions, told Commercial Property Executive. "Limestone fit the bill of a classic good location, strong submarket and a multi-family property that fit well with our value-add strategy."
Located at 14723 West Oaks Plaza St., the complex sits on 26 acres facing West Oaks Plaza Drive near Richmond Avenue. Lynd liked its proximity to the Energy Corridor in particular. It also sits near retail venues on Westheimer Road. "We see a lot of upside with very limited downside in a straight value-add opportunity," Mendiola added.
The previous owner purchased the 14-year-old property out of bankruptcy in 2009 and made basic improvements to the asset. Lynd plans to capitalize on those improvements with further upgrades, bringing the property to Class A standards by modernizing unit interiors—in particular, upgrading the kitchens, fixtures and bathrooms—and enhancing common-area amenities.
"What we found across the board was there are opportunities on the interiors of the units to really drive the rent side of the equation for the deals that we're looking at," Mendiola said.
LRP obtained Fannie Mae, non-recourse financing for the transaction and also prepaid a CMBS loan that was due to mature in late 2013.
"Limestone is a great deal for us and our investors, and the property plays well to Lynd's core strength as a value-add owner and operator of multi-family assets nationwide," put in A. David Lynd, the company's president & COO. "We look forward to closing additional deals in the near term that provide similar value-creation opportunities."

Q: HTML5 canvas how to give it a boundary? for a school assignment i am making a kite game..
i am a total javascript noob and i really need some help.
so i am at the point that i have an image moving by pressing the arrow buttons.
the problem now is that my image can go outside of the canvas and i want it not to..
i really have nooooo idea how to do this i have tried multiple tutorials but it doesnt seem to work.
 window.onload = function() {

 var canvas = document.getElementById("game");
 window.addEventListener('keydown', keyDown, true);

 var context = canvas.getContext("2d");
 var kite = document.getElementById("kite");

 var kite = new Image ();
 kite.src = "kite.png";

 context.drawImage(kite, 250, 300, 300, 150);

 var x = 250;
 var y = 300;

 function keyDown(e){

//  up
    if (e.keyCode == 38) {
        clearCanvas();
        y = y - 3;
        context.drawImage(kite, x, y, 300, 150);
    }

//  down
    if (e.keyCode == 40) {
        clearCanvas();
        y = y + 3;
        context.drawImage(kite, x, y, 300, 150);
    }

//  left
    if (e.keyCode == 37) {
        clearCanvas();
        x = x - 10;
        context.drawImage(kite, x, y, 300, 150);
    }

//  right
    if (e.keyCode == 39) {
        clearCanvas();
        x = x + 10;
        context.drawImage(kite, x, y, 300, 150);
    }

}

function clearCanvas() {
    canvas.width = canvas.width;
}

};

i would really really appreciate it if someone could help me with this :D

A: You would need to do something along these lines for each keyStroke where you adjust the x or y variable.  Notice the new if statement:
//  up
if (e.keyCode == 38) {
    clearCanvas();
    if (y - 3 > 0) {
        y = y - 3;
    }
    context.drawImage(kite, x, y, 300, 150);
}

//  down
if (e.keyCode == 40) {
    clearCanvas();
    if (y + 3 + 150 < canvas.height) {
        y = y + 3;
    }
    context.drawImage(kite, x, y, 300, 150);
}

//  left
if (e.keyCode == 37) {
    clearCanvas();
    if (x - 10 > 0) {
        x = x - 10;
    }
    context.drawImage(kite, x, y, 300, 150);
}

//  right
if (e.keyCode == 39) {
    clearCanvas();
    if (x + 10 + 300 < canvas.width) {
        x = x + 10;
    }
    context.drawImage(kite, x, y, 300, 150);
}

Part three of a three part series by Patricia Tiffany Morris.
5 SUGGESTIONS FOR CREATIVITY AND INTENTIONAL PRAISE
I hope and pray you've found that sweet place to worship each day. What marvelous joy to witness God planning and directing our activities! Our intentional meetings are only a small part of watching God work in our lives for His glory.
Here are five suggestions and practical action steps we can do any day of the week.
PRAY FOR OTHERS:
1.Who can we pray for today? This year? Print their names on cards. Start a gratitude journal or grab some sticky notes. Or simply pray, intentionally stopping everything. Pray at the leading of the Holy Spirit. What better way to intentionally live in God's presence? Don't forget to write the date when God answers your prayers and watch your faith soar. Be alert to other's needs and adjust your checklist.
"Continue steadfastly in prayer, being watchful in it with thanksgiving. At the same time, pray also for us, that God mayopen to us a door for the word, to declare the mystery of Christ..." (Col. 4:2-3a. ESV.)
SERVE OTHERS:
2. Which friends or family need encouragement or a kind act of service? Note the names of specific friends and acquaintances to encourage over the next weeks in a master list. Plan a day to visit or call friends and family. Pray for opportunities to show love.
"Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you ought to answer each person." (Col. 4:6. ESV.)
COMMUNICATE WITH OTHERS:
3. Which friends can we connect with on social media? Become friends, not just followers. Which tweet or post begs to be sung before the day's end? Jot it down under future tweets list. Share carefully. It's too easy to send words without praying or thinking what God would want us to say. Make wise use of time on social media by intentionally cultivating friendships and praying.
SUPPORT OTHERS:
4. Which movies or books will bring honor to God? Add the titles to a bullet-list tracker. Cross out movies not honoring His name. Make a list of Christian books to read. Support fellow believers who write and produce godly entertainment and instruction. What we read and view affects our thoughts and our witness. Would Jesus watch with us?
"Beloved, I urge you as sojourners and exiles to abstain from the passions of the flesh, which wage war against your soul.Keep your conduct among the Gentiles honorable, so that when they speak against you as evildoers, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day of visitation." (1 Peter 2:11-12. ESV.)
WORSHIP GOD:
5. What goals define effective strategies? What roll can our thoughts bring to worship? What areas or activities need God's specific direction? Make a list of the following truths and list what we know to be true, honorable, just, pure, etc. Then, when we are tempted, refer to the list of things God tells us to think upon. Or practice Scripture Memory. Blessings will flow beyond measure.
"Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me—practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you." (Phil. 4:8-9. ESV.)
REFLECTIONS ON INTENTIONALITY:
I experience life hungry for adventure, clamoring for attention, and regretfully, sometimes longing for fame. Is this my right or my nemesis?
If my desire to be praised replaces serving or speaking what God would require of me, it would be detrimental to the witness of Jesus living in me. Self-service, pride, and vanity would rule. But if I garner attention and instead reflect the glory of God in me, wouldn't that be marvelous? Christ's purpose for me is to experience the living presence of Jesus whether I succeed, fail, or stand somewhere in between.
Organizing for productivity blesses others, and in turn blesses and praises the Lord. The bullet journal planner settles our daily adventures with greater joy and freedom if God finds us attentive to His voice. We can intentionally and purposely gift Him our time and our devotion.
Yet, we get sidetracked. The squirrel-syndrome diminishes our productivity. Perhaps we forget to check our progress. Distractions and attractions of the world can crush and plummet us toward self-pity, rather than praising the Lord and reflecting His light into the world. We need Him. We need to pray continually.
It shouldn't surprise us. God created us to worship Him. Being made in His image we cherish the awe-inspiring beauty of what God is doing in us and through us. That doesn't happen by accident. We plan to glorify Him by making wise choices, reading His Word, and looking at His path for life as we practice His presence.
Practicing His presence—a relationship created for His glory—is what God purposely intended for each one of us. I pray that my bullet journal intentionality paves the path for bringing Jesus glory each day.

Discrimination towards LGBTQ community persists and…
Discrimination towards LGBTQ community persists and authorities 'remain silent'
Karl Azzopardi Sunday, 12 January 2020, 14:28 Last update: about 6 days ago
"Yet another case of an LGBTQ person mistreated in a mainstream club in Paceville reached us today," The Allied Rainbow Communities (ARC) wrote on their Facebook page on Sunday.
ARC Community Manager Clayton Mercieca told The Malta Independent that the case involved an LGBTQ person who was clubbing in Paceville with his friends. A group of three men who were also at the club started laughing at him and proceeded to shove him. When the person took action in order to get them to stop, the bouncer of the club kicked him out instead of confronting the others for their behaviour, Mercieca said.
The victim then tried to report what happened to the police but they did not provide any support on the basis that he did not know the name of the assaulters.
Cutajar explained how this is not an isolated incident – there were other cases where the police force has not provided assistance to the LGTQ community, so much so that some people choose to not report their experience at all as they know that nothing will be done about it.
"There is a lack of action from the police, who overlook such cases as this is not up on their priority list when it comes to cases of great danger," Mercieca stated.
"Paceville has become a 'no-go' zone for us who aren't straight-acting and we don't feel welcome or safe at all," he continued said. It is due to such cases of discrimination that he believes the community requires its own spaces where the LGBT community can live their truth, as ARC stated in the Facebook post.
Cutajar also pointed out other factors that play a part in such cases of discrimination.
"There is a problem with security staff who are not hired by the clubs directly, so the club takes no responsibility for these actions. In many cases, these security officials are not licensed and come from homophobic backgrounds," he explained.
Bars are also not willing to welcome everyone irrespective of who they are, so the LGTQ community is left to its own devices and finds places where it is accepted.
It is for this reason that ARC continues to raise awareness and educate people, encouraging the sense of pro-activeness that certain venue owners show towards the LGBT community in Malta while inviting others to do the same.


In line with the court of law, if a person or celebration is involved in litigation or legitimate activity, and is dissatisfied with the consensus or be a consequence of that litigation, they have the proper to'attraction'that choice to a greater court. An charm is challenging, or dispute, of the original verdict. Since an attraction situation is completely different than a typical judge situation, and as the speaks method wants to follow a really unique project, locating skilled appeals lawyers to deal with the case is extremely important. If a individual does opt to attraction his case, it should be done right after the certainty requires place. The charm itself is a written report that lets the higher court know that the defendant will undoubtedly be appealing his conviction. If an charm isn't entered instantly, or if the discover isn't filed, the defendant may not be able to record an appeal at a later date. And this is why speaks lawyers are so important. The appeals method is different from a normal trial in several ways. Go to the following website, if you are seeking for more information concerning illinois criminal appeal lawyers.
In the speaks test, referred to as a hearing, there's number court, and the attraction is dedicated to an appellate brief which will be submitted by the defendant's lawyer. The appellate short presents the defendant's argument on why the consensus in the initial test was wrong, and also one other party's argument on why the consensus was okay. The judge will problem all the speaks lawyers concerning the brief and might let a short time for dental arguments. In an charm reading, you can find usually several referrals to precedents set in other trials and court cases. Because of the strict steps and process that are required within an speaks case, having skilled appeals lawyers who've dealt with them before may boost your chance of success. These lawyers have knowledge with speaks and finding issues or problems with the initial trial that can be utilized as the foundation for an appeal. They are acquainted with arguing on precedents occur other cases. The speaks process is extremely extensive, therefore equally events should prepare yourself with regards to time and cost.
Locating appeals lawyers with experience is often done by referrals and term of mouth. Question buddies, co-workers, company professionals, or other lawyers. Public fascination teams and non-profit organizations may also give suggestions. Many State Bar Associations give attorney recommendation services that can provide a list of appeals lawyers locally that are readily available for consultation. Appeals lawyers often demand a little bit of money for initial consultations, although some might give a totally free consultation. If you can't manage a attorney, seek advice from a local free Legitimate Support firm to discover what your options are. In case a celebration thinks they have been wrongfully sentenced throughout a judge test, or if he or she does not concur with the outcome, then he or she should speak to an speaks lawyer immediately so the attorney may determine if there is a basis for attraction, and file the appeal detect immediately. Having experienced speaks lawyers on your own area can make the difference in the end result of the speaks hearing.

How long have you been a Manchester United fan?

Reserve Team Member
I'm from Portugal, and after starting to view worldwide leagues, Manchester quickly grabbed my attention when watching the English one, also because Cristiano Ronaldo was there, but I liked the whole team overall, they're were very aggressive playing, always on the attack.
How about you? Already changed shirts? Manchester from the beginning?
How did it happen?
dizbuster
I've been a Manchester United fan for 48 years. When I was 4 years old we had some new neighbours and I heard the name Manchester United many times from them. I never forgot and as I got older I followed them. Been to Old Trafford a few times.
themarksquared
I am only 17 years old, but I've been a fan of Manchester United ever since I was 9 years old. That was the time when I played football as a sport, so I was very addicted to the game. While I was playing some FIFA, I saw this team called Manchester United.

WOW! I'm now 44 so I have been a fan for 34 years!!!
Doesn't seem that long ago I was playing football in the streets with my friends and when I scored I always ran off with the clenched fist pretending to be Joe Jordan (I had all my teeth though)
SpiralArchitect
Been a Manchester United fan for close to 11 years now. They are the only English club I've ever followed and are the only club I've been following for the past 4-5 years.
jonnypop
I have been an on/ off fan for sometime now. My brother and cousin are die hard fans which gets the apsects of the club drilled into me!
I have been to Old Trafford and the atmosphere is immense!
All my life, my old man was one so I took up the mantle.
It is a great club and a great tradition.
rosacrux
I have been a Manchester United fan for 20 years, after they signed Cantona. It has been a great experience to see players like Schmeichel, Keane, Scholes, Giggs, Cristiano...The most memorable moment was the 1999 Champions final and the two last minute goals by Sheringham and Solksjaer.

All my life. My dad was a fan and he used to take me to Old Trafford when I was very young. For the past 40 years I've lived in Leeds - not a very good place to be a United fan! We've suffered much abuse and worse but, as I point out to every Leeds yob who calls me scum, scum is what always rises to the top! Hence my name.
My boss and I got free tickets to see United play Leeds at Elland Road some years ago but had to watch surrounded by Leeds supporters. We were both asked to leave after leaping in the air when United scored.
Don't get to matches as often as I'd like which is why I was delighted to find this site
Its been only a couple of years that i have been a Manchester United fan,maybe 3 years.It was in my college that i got to know all about football and since then i have been a Man Utd fan.The first time i watched the matches were during the premier league 2010-2011.They won it that time and only at that time did i feel proud to support Manchester United.A away draw versus Rovers and i was on cloud nine.

AMD announced its AMD Fusion Developer Summit 2012 (Fusion12) will be hold on June 11-14, 2012 in Bellevue, Washington.
AMD (NYSE: AMD) today announced that AMD Fusion Developer Summit 2012 (Fusion12) will be held on June 11-14, 2012 in Bellevue, Washington. The company's annual developer summit will return to the Meydenbauer Center and the Hyatt Regency in Bellevue.
This event will build on the success of the sold out AMD Fusion11 earlier this year, where more than 700 software development leaders from industry, academia, and government converged on the forefront of heterogeneous computing. The summit offers an engaging opportunity to learn more about next-generation software development and Accelerated Processing Unit (APU) technology, central processing unit (CPU) and graphics processing unit (GPU) processor technologies, and programming methods using industry-standard application programming interfaces (APIs) such as OpenCL™, OpenGL™, Microsoft DirectCompute and C++ AMP.
Morgan Kaufmann publishers also used AMD Fusion11 as a backdrop to promote their new book about OpenCL and application programming interfaces (APIs) titled, "Heterogeneous Computing with OpenCL," which is now available.


Round 5 of the Brexit negotiations has concluded with statements by the EU Chief Negotiator (Michel Barnier) and the Secretary of State for Exiting the EU (David Davis). Some British politicians will be most unhappy to have heard Mr Barnier state - " ... as things stand at present, I am not able to recommend to the European Council next week to open discussions on the future relationship."
Although the talks clearly made a certain amount of progress, the major sticking point appears to be the financial settlement which Mr Barnier said had not been discussed apart from some technical details. He said, "We are, therefore, at a deadlock on this question. This is extremely worrying for European taxpayers and those who benefit from EU policies."
Nevertheless, a fair reading of the two statements suggests delay rather than complete failure but there is a feeling of despair in Mr Barnier's remarks. Hopefully, the talks will proceed during the autumn and reach the point where EU negotiators become able to recommend that negotiations move on to matters such as the future trading relationship. As required by the 29th April EU Council Guidelines, the talks have so far been confined to Citizen's Rights, the position of Northern Ireland and the financial settlement.
Mr Davis said - "Now while there is still work to be done, much work to be done, we have come a long way. And it is important to recognise the significant progress we have made since June." Mr Barnier said - "We worked constructively this week. We clarified certain points. But without making any great steps forward. We still have a common goal: the desire to reach an agreement on the UK's withdrawal and to outline our future relationship, when the time comes."
Factsheets have been published by the EU Commission on Brexit Negotiations Citizen's Rights; Northern Ireland and the Financial Settlement. Links to these are available on the same webpage as Mr Barnier's statement.
There is pressure for the government to release studies it has undertaken about the possible impact of Brexit on various sectors of the economy. Up to now the government has claimed that release of the papers could impact adversely on the Brexit negotiations. Critics of this position argue that the government is keeping the material secret purely for political reasons.
Recent days have seen an increasing amount of talk about a "no deal Brexit." The consequences of that for almost every aspect of modern life could well be severe as, for example, this statement by the British Airline Pilot's Association (BALPA) notes.
Hence, leaving aside the possibility of an extension to the 2 year period, the UK will leave on 29th March 2017 if there is no withdrawal agreement. If there is such an agreement then the date it comes into force will apply.
At Prime Minister's Question Time on 11th October, was asked by Mr Ian Blackford MP how she would vote if there were to be another referendum on EU membership. Mrs May responded by stating categorically that "there is no second referendum."
Whether there should be a second referendum is a matter of politics and the outcome of such a referendum, were it to be held, is a matter of speculation. There appears to be some reason to suppose that the 2016 referendum outcome might be reversed but that is by no means certain.
Legally, there could be a second referendum if Parliament were to enact legislation to require one to be held and a Bill is presently before the House of Lords with a view to achieving such a referendum. It is the European Union (Referendum on the Withdrawal Agreement) Bill - sponsored by the Liberal Democrat peer - Baroness Ludford. If enacted, those aged 16 and 17 would be able to vote in the referendum as well as British citizens who live abroad.
This referendum would obviously be held when details of the Withdrawal Agreement were known. the Bill stipulates that voting could be as late as 28th February 2019. The 2 year period specified in Article 50 expires on 29th March 2019.
As was the case with the EU (Referendum) Act 2015, there is no provision in the Bill to make the outcome binding on Ministers and there is no provision to require any specific referendum outcome such as requiring (say) a two-thirds vote in favour of leaving or a vote in favour in each of the constituent nations of the UK.
The Bill is highly unlikely to receive government support. A second reading date has yet to be fixed.
Baroness Ludford's Bill appears to be based on an assumption that the UK can unilaterally revoke its Article 50 notice but whether this is possible has been a matter of considerable debate in legal circles. This earlier post (23rd July) sought to collate various views. There is also this more recent contribution by Cormac Mac Amhlaigh - Can Brexit be Stopped under EU Law. Only the Court of Justice of the EU could give an authoritative legal answer to this point.
"In these proceedings, it is common ground that notice under article 50(2) (which we shall call "Notice") cannot be given in qualified or conditional terms and that, once given, it cannot be withdrawn. Especially as it is the Secretary of State's case that, even if this common ground is mistaken, it would make no difference to the outcome of these proceedings, we are content to proceed on the basis that that is correct, without expressing any view of our own on either point. It follows from this that once the United Kingdom gives Notice, it will inevitably cease at a later date to be a member of the European Union and a party to the EU Treaties."
Sir Stephen Laws submitted this written evidence to the committee.

I do not want to continuously inhabit the role of the one-dimensional superhuman dynamo gunning down waves of enemies. I do not need more power fantasies, juvenile wish fulfillment, or violent catharsis.
Give me new roles, new worlds, new feelings. Design.
Reminds me a bit of "DESIGN IS LAW," but yes, I agree.
I'd never pictured myself being compared to John Romero, but here we are.
more people should read this, and understand this. I'm thinking about maybe translating this to post on my blog... if I do that, I'll comment here again :P I hope you don't mind (?).
here it is :) It's got a link to your blog and stuff, so everyone will know the text is originally yours.
I dont know if you understand anything about Portuguese, but, well :p take a look anyway ^^"
Translated into Portugese! This post is just full of firsts. Thank you for this lovely compliment, Cindy.
People liked your "credo", btw.
That's way things outside the pattern are so succesful... or not!
But, the fun is on the challenge, right?"
"I completely agree, but we are indie developers. I think the most brilliant minds in this area are 'under the claws of marketing and industry', and are "forced" to develop clones of succesful projects"
If everyone only went for innovation, there would be no patterns to be broken, besides inovation itself, and the system would collapse.
What I mean is... I think that we should analyse and observe games, and know that your game won't be the most innovative in the world, nut knowing that there are patterns may help you to see what patterns are good for project and which ones should be changed.
It's important to know the patterns, even if it's not your intention to break them.
I occasionally teach playwriting to undergraduates, and there is nothing you've written here that isn't also applicable to them as well. I will share your credo with them, replacing the MDA framework with solid dramatic structure.
I could get behind that. It would be interesting if more games were created from this perspective.
I agree with you about genre (if I understood you correctly). It's a bunch of safe, proven conventions. Borrowing from those conventions isn't inherently wrong by any means, but the borrowing should be done purposefully, with fundamental understanding of all the component parts. The reason games like Street Fighter II or Half-Life were groundbreaking was because their designs were so intentional and well-executed--these games redefined genres, but didn't make genres.
Other games then started copying, then other games copied those games. It's little wonder why so many of those types of games are so bland and forgettable. Still, making games is inherently pretty hard from what I understand, and copying proven conventions is one way to take some of the burden off (risk mitigation, as you said). Yet you risk putting out something derivative and redundant.
I think many players want a sense of comfortable familiarity when coming into an experience for the first time, and this is where certain time-tested mechanics and conventions can help ease them into an experience. Once you do have them on the hook, though, there's no good reason not to try and subvert their expectations in novel ways.

'Mercy Street' Exec Producers Preview "More Ambitious" Second Season
Courtesy of PBS
'Mercy Street'
In this story
The Civil War drama returns in 2017 for a six-episode second season.
PBS' Mercy Street is changing things up a bit when it returns in early 2017 for its second season.
"It feels much more ambitious," executive producer Lisa Q. Wolfinger told reporters Friday at the Television Critics Association's summer press tour.
Season two of the Civil War drama will expand outside of the Mansion House hospital where much of the six-episode first season took place to include more battles and a deeper look into the contraband world, as well as more outdoor scenes. "[These] were things we felt we hadn't quite delivered in season one and we could deliver in season two," said executive producer David Zabel. "There was an element of it that was a little bit too contained."
The result is six new episodes that have "more scope and expanse," Zabel continued. It's "opening up the show."
The new season begins in June 1862 at the conclusion of the Peninsula Campaign during which the Union was turned away by the Confederate forces in Richmond, the show's real-life setting. The six episodes run through September 1862 and the aftermath of the Battle of Antietam — largely regarded as the bloodiest day of the war.
"It's still relatively early in the war," said Mercy Street star Josh Radnor. "No one saw a four-year war coming, so there is a feeling of slight dread in the second season. … This war's only get to worse before it gets better."
For the battle scenes, the production tapped Civil War reenactors as well as more stuntmen to make the scenes feel as authentic as possible. "We didn't have 200 extras but we managed to shoot something that was quite effective and powerful," said Wolfinger. "It made production a little more challenging, but much more exciting."
However, there will still be plenty of time in the hospital. Season two of Mercy Street will delve more into women's health, reproductive health, smallpox, typhoid and will even include an autopsy. "[These are] real and intense medical issues that come from this history," said Zabel. Added Norbert Leo Butz, who plays Dr. Byron Hale: "While we're helping the wounded, we're trying to learn about science with this plethora of human species."
There also will be more romance in season two, as Radnor previewed a love triangle between his character, Dr. Jedediah Foster, Mary Phinney (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) and "another love interest from the past" who pops up in season two.
"In this season, he swaps one addiction for another," Radnor said of his character's feelings for Mary. "He has a shell around him, and Mary somehow really starts to chip away at that. … He doesn't have a needle in his arm very much this season, but it's no less dramatic."
Season two also brings several new faces into the mix, including Patina Miller (Madam Secretary) as Charlotte Jenkins, a runway slave who fled to the North 10 years ago but returns to become a abolitionist and an activist. "She wants to empower others," Miller said.
Another is Brian F. O'Byrne, who plays Alex Pinkerton, the head of Union Intelligence who is a "thorn in the side of the Green family," according to Zabel, who also teased a "brief appearance" by President Abraham Lincoln.
Although many of the show's stars have other full-time gigs — BrainDead's Winstead, How to Get Away With Murder's Jack Falahee, Veep's Gary Cole and Bloodline's Butz, just to name a few — nearly the entire ensemble will return for season two.
"It's sort of a very bespoke organization that we put together and customize each season," said executive producer David W. Zucker, who explained that the cast are approached per individual season rather than signing anyone to long-term contracts that are standard on network television. "I think we're doing it contrary to how this business usually operates. … We're hoping to bring everyone together each season as best we can."
He added, "We have seasons and seasons of story to tell."
Mercy Street is set to return in January on PBS.

L.A. County sheriff's deputy who fatally shot Andres Guardado faced earlier allegations

A week after a deputy shot and killed an 18-year-old man in Gardena, setting off heated demonstrations, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department has yet to fully explain how the shooting occurred and has not interviewed the two patrol deputies involved.
But details are emerging about the deputies, including earlier allegations faced by the officer who fatally shot Andres Guardado. Sources with knowledge of the case identified them to The Times as Deputies Miguel Vega, who opened fire, and Chris Hernandez, who did not shoot.
L.A. County supervisors call for independent investigation of Andres Guardado's death
L.A. County Sheriff's Department places 'security hold' on Andres Guardado autopsy
L.A. County sheriff asks attorney general to monitor investigation into death of Andres Guardado, 18-year-old shot by deputy
Protesters in Compton demand justice for Andres Guardado, 18-year-old Latino man fatally shot by deputies
According to the Sheriff's Department, the events began when the two deputies saw Guardado, who family members said worked as a security guard, speaking with someone in a car that was blocking the entrance to a body shop about 6 p.m. June 18. Authorities said Guardado "produced a handgun" and ran away, and the deputies chased him. When the deputies caught up, Vega fired his weapon, officials said. Family members and activists have expressed skepticism about the narrative.
Vega joined the Sheriff's Department in 2009, said Capt. John McBride, who heads the department's personnel administration bureau.


Serious Games are games which intend to impart a meaningful social or educational impact on their participant through interactive play. These games are most commonly played digitally: on a computer or video game interface. Serious Games exist in all different genres. Commonly these games are centered around political, military, or marketing forums. A popular technique of Serious Games is to provide a simulation of an actual set of events, which then help the player become enlightened through the sense of participation within an environment. Serious Games are on the rise and will likely move more towards the mainstream as video and computer games are recognized more universally as powerful educational tools because of their ability to motivate action and stimulate learning through interactivity.
What makes serious games so powerful is that they incorporate immersion, transformation, and agency in such a way that sends a message to the player. This allows for gamers to enter a world they typically might know about, such as Darfur. So when a player becomes a kid searching for water, they get a sense (as minor as it is) of the difficulties in living in Darfur. Because serious games put a player within a world, they not only learn about a social crisis, they also feel a emotional response. They become connected to the people, when often connecting to them by watching television or movies does not have the same effect. Those mediums render an observation while serious games create a interaction which makes the game's message more powerful. Serious gatmes also make use of winning and losing, typical of most games. In the McDonald's game, your goal is to make money, and so you put pesticides in the agriculure, destroy the rainforest, corrupt politicians, and advertise for kids. When the player gets in this mindset, the greediness of McDonald's is revealed because they are willing to do anything to "win" the game. In another example, there is a serious game where you must shoot a missile at terrorists in the midst of a town of civilians. The idea is that when you shoot, you kill many civilians and then more terrorists appear. As the game notes, there is no winning or losing, you can shoot or do nothing. This game uses the conventional form of games, where there needs to be a sense of reward, to make a message about the war on terrorism and how there is no winning. This simple game illustrates that like the many political figures who want to win the war on terror, we want to win this game. Yet as the game shows, it's not that easy.

The following clinical considerations are included in CAN-ADAPTT's guideline and have been approved by the Guideline Development Group (GDG).
· An equally accurate term for 'screening' may be 'case finding' given the prevalence of tobacco use among persons with mental health diagnosis and/or addiction(s).
· The term 'addictions' refers to those addicted to substances other than nicotine.
· Asking about tobacco use should be an integral part of a routine medical, mental health and addiction screening in both ambulatory and inpatient settings.
· Due to the high prevalence of concurrent mental illness and addiction, all patients/clients should be screened for underlying, non-debilitating, undiagnosed mental health challenges.
· Conducting regular, brief screenings for mood changes is encouraged since it may affect quitting and can be part of withdrawal, grief over loss of identity as a smoker, or emergence of a depressive disorder.
· It should be noted that no pharmacotherapy has been contraindicated in persons with mental illness unless medically contraindicated.
· Pharmacotherapy and counselling approaches yield greater success rates than providing either pharmacotherapy or counselling approach alone.
· Recently there have been advisories from Health Canada regarding the need for vigilance for neuropsychiatric side effects when quitting smoking especially when assisted by bupropion SR1 or varenicline2.
· Recognize that involuntary abstinence from tobacco that occurs when smoker patients are admitted to smoke free facilities requires management with an agonist at sufficient doses.
· The withdrawal/anxiety experienced by persons abstaining from smoking should be recognized and addressed, especially in acute care facilities.
· Health care providers who work with patients with mental health and or addiction should not promote smoking, provide cigarettes or smoke with clients.
· Employers of health care professionals who smoke should offer smoking cessation treatment to their employees.
· Consider that persons with mental illness and/or addiction(s) who smoke might need higher doses of nicotine replacement therapy.
· Pharmacotherapy use may be required for a longer duration for persons with mental illness and/or addiction(s).
· Flexibility in the quit date can be tailored to individual needs.
· Assess for interactions with medications used for treating comorbid conditions.
· Since caffeine levels can rise significantly when quitting smoking, caffeine intake needs to be monitored.
· Dose adjustments usually downwards may be needed if client is on psychotropics (especially clozapine and olanzepine) that are affected by smoking cessation.
· Clients' psychiatric symptoms throughout the quitting process should be monitored.
Clients should be encouraged to live in smoke free settings in the community.
· Clients should be followed by a health care provider during the quitting process.
· Referral to appropriate healthcare services (community, program referral, other team members) for management/treatment and follow-up can be considered when one is unable to offer the service.
· In-patient staff should be aware of community resources to support cessation and address nicotine dependence especially on discharge into community settings.
· Treatment facilities staff should increase their understanding of mental health/addiction and nicotine dependence to effectively offer cessation and to address stigma attached to mental illness and/or addiction.
· Given the culture of mental health and addictions treatment facilities where staff often smoked and thereby, clients' smoking behaviour was sustained, these facilities must address smoking in their policies. For example, by becoming smoke-free indoors and where possible on the facility's grounds.
· All healthcare providers and staff in a practice setting or treatment facilities should be offered smoking cessation treatment.
· Financial resources for this "longer and stronger" counselling and/or pharmacotherapy are necessary. Persons with mental illness and/or addictions, due to a likelihood of lower disposable income and proportionally higher spending on tobacco, may especially benefit from subsidized pharmacotherapy, in sufficient dose and duration.
· Limit out-of-pocket costs to smokers with mental illness and/or addictions to improve outcomes.

Q: Removing duplicate elements within array I would like to understand a specific line in this code I am studying from geeksfogeeks. Here is the main code:
class Main
{
    // Function to remove duplicate elements
    // This function returns new size of modified
    // array.
   static int removeDuplicates(int arr[], int n)
   {
    // Return, if array is empty
    // or contains a single element
    if (n==0 || n==1)
        return n;

    int[] temp = new int[n];

    // Start traversing elements
    int j = 0;
    for (int i=0; i<n-1; i++)
        // If current element is not equal
        // to next element then store that
        // current element
        if (arr[i] != arr[i+1])
            temp[j++] = arr[i];

    // Store the last element as whether
    // it is unique or repeated, it hasn't
    // stored previously
    temp[j++] = arr[n-1];

    // Modify original array
    for (int i=0; i<j; i++)
        arr[i] = temp[i];

    return j;
}

public static void main (String[] args)
{
    int arr[] = {1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5};
    int n = arr.length;

    n = removeDuplicates(arr, n);

    // Print updated array
    for (int i=0; i<n; i++)
       System.out.print(arr[i]+" ");
}
}

If I understand this code correctly, what it is doing is iterating through the intial given array and comparing if the next element of the array is of same value. If it's not, then it adds that 'unique' element to the temp array, which then uses the value of j (which has been increasing in value according to how many unique elements there are) to rewrite the original array over.
What I don't get is this line
 temp[j++] = arr[n-1];

What is the purpose of this line? I know it is increasing the value of J but the " n-1" doesn't make whole lot of sense.
I would appreciate  any insight on this topic and thank you ahead of time for well..your time.

A:
Removing duplicate elements within array

Your program doesn't remove duplicates from the array. It only removes them if they are successive. E.g. {1,2,2,3} becomes {1,2,3} but {1,2,3,2} still remains {1,2,3,2}. However, if the input array is sorted, then all the duplicates will be removed. Please, notice that in the {1,2,2,3} the second number two is added to temp[]. (Meaning that only the last number in sequence of equal numbers is added to temp[]).

static int removeDuplicates(int arr[], int n)

You don't need the caller to pass the size of the array. In Java, arrays are special objects that offer a property called length. So you can figure out the length like so int n = arr.length;. You need to pass the array size in languages like C, not in Java.

What I don't get is this line
temp[j++] = arr[n-1];

Examine the conditions of your for loop above this statement.
for (int i=0; i<n-1; i++)
As you can see, it is run only till i is less than n-1. In English words, you are running this loop till the second last element only. This is because inside the for loop, you are comparing the ith element with i+1th element. That way, in the last iteration, you are comparing the second last element with the last element. You can't go further since there is nothing after the last element. However, with this approach you won't be adding the last element in the temp array. So you had to write an extra line of code to add the last element after the loop is over.

A: temp[j++] = arr[n-1] is required because of the conditions of the for loop.
For loop is iterating until i is less than n-1.
If the size of an array is 4, for example array: {1, 2, 3, 4}
n-1 = index 3 cannot be compared with index 4 (arr[i+1])
This prevents the for loop from going out of bounds.
Since the last element is not added to the temp array,
temp[j++] = arr[n-1] is needed to add the last element to the temp array.

Professor John Hermon-Taylor
Professor John Hermon-Taylor's work was foundational in creating the Crohn's disease vaccine.
In 2008, Professor John Hermon-Taylor joined King's as a Visiting Professor for gastrointestinal research.
Before King's, John showed academic prowess after receiving a Fellowship of the Royal College of Surgeons in 1963, awarded to the highest-scoring candidate.
In 1976, John started some of his most influential work. As Chair of Surgery at St George's Hospital Medical School, he primarily focused on treating and caring for people with Crohn's disease, overseeing a group of researchers investigating its cause. John specifically focused on whether the pathogenic bacterium Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP) was the primary cause of Crohn's.
Professor John Hermon-Taylor would spend the remainder of his life innovating and working on a therapeutic vaccine against MAP to treat Crohn's disease. He spent 10 years refining the vaccine, overseeing a team of scientists at King's Department of Nutritional Sciences, and collaborating with Professor Tim Bull at St George's and Professor Dame Sarah Gilbert at Oxford University.
Fortunately, John was able to hear the news that a patient with Crohn's disease was the first to receive his vaccine in a landmark clinical trial at Guy's and St Thomas' Hospital before he died.
John will be remembered for his kindness, humour and dedication to scientific excellence.
