When organizations look to improve the quality of their software, they have a wide range of potential objectives: Making better software may mean eliminating defects, adding new features or building a product that can get to market faster. Given the occasionally subjective nature of assessing software quality, the best approach to ensuring success can vary, software consultant Johanna Rothman explained in an interview with Dr. Dobb's. A technique such as peer code review or even collaborative, paired coding can be an effective way to meet goals that are qualitative rather than quantitative.
1. Everyone participates: Nobody should be seen as too junior to offer useful commentary or too senior to be critiqued, Powell suggested. By bringing everyone – even the interns – into the code review forum, teams can access more insight and spread more knowledge. Less experienced team members will be able to learn more and feel more trusted if they are actively participating in code reviews, and it may be the newest hire whose fresh perspective helps spot a bad habit others on the team had begun to take for granted. For similar reasons, code review teams should not be limited to set pairs.
2. Reviews are public: Many segments of code are probably going to be of interest to or require the expertise of more than one member on the team, and holding reviews in a forum that facilitates collaboration can have powerful results, Powell noted. By making reviews visible to everyone, the whole team can learn from mistakes or offer suggestions, which means that the final product is likely to be stronger and the net knowledge of the team is likely to be greater. Feature-rich code review tools that offer a social component allow teams to work through problems together and ultimately create better code.
3. Everything is timely: To avoid creating a backlog and letting code review sessions turn into lengthy, boring meetings, businesses can use tools that accelerate the process of handling review requests. With a dedicated code review tool, developers can track requests and ensure they are responding in a timely fashion.
Leveraging peer code review tools and best practices, businesses can ensure that their software quality remains consistent while continuing to educate their team and to incorporate the insight of different stakeholders.

Stranger Things Season 2 Was Everything I Expected & More!
October 30, 2017 October 30, 2017 by Heather W.
So we just spend this past weekend binge watching Season two of Stranger Things and I am completely blown away by this new season! I knew that it was going to be good… but it far exceeded my expectations. New characters, back stories and lots of scary monster scenes made it a show impossible to turn off! Here are some of the reasons why Stranger Things Season 2 was everything expected and more! SPOILER ALERT! If you have yet to binge watch this new season, you have been warned, there are spoilers ahead!
Last season gave us a glimpse of hope that Eleven was still alive and we greatly anticipated where she ended up. While Eleven spends most of the season away from the boys, we learn so much about her life and watch her grow. I was so touched my the father daughter relationship that evolved between Hopper and Eleven. I was also thrilled to learn there were others like her out there and enjoyed the episode she spent with her "sister." But my ultimate favorite scene was when Eleven was finally reunited with her friends, definitely pulled on my heart strings!
This season introduced many new characters to the show, but of all of them I would have to say that Bob was my favorite by far! Joyce shows of her new love and it was so refreshing to see this family healing and grow closer. Bob quickly becomes a character that you welcome with open arms into the Stranger Things family and is sadly taken away during the end of the season. I was pretty upset to see this character go but enjoyed what he brought to this season!
The season final of season 1 left us feeling resolved and like this family could finally get back to a normal life… then suddenly Will shares a glimpse of what he is actually experiencing which is far from normal! The new season did not shy away from this and poor Will spent much of the season possessed by the dreaded shadow monster. I really liked how this season dived more into the "upside down" world and there were many scenes where we got to get a closer look at both the creatures and the horror of this other world.
Overall there was much more character development this season, you feel like you have a better understanding of each character and their backstory. There is far more action in this season as well, the perfect show to binge watch during the Halloween season. This season did not disappoint and once again we were left with a cliff hanger ending that is going to make the wait for season 3 incredibly difficult!
Feeling down because you binge watched Strangers Things season 2 and don't know what to do next? Well you are going to love this! Stranger Things is like a time machine back to the 80's.

Black consumers are wielding power and influence in the marketplace like never before. All while spending their way to a major milestone. The Nielsen Company, a global information and research firm, projects black spending power will reach $1.1 trillion by 2015. Despite this looming thirteen-figure impact, many black consumers do not understand the full extent of their power says Cheryl Pearson-McNeil, senior vice president of public affairs at Nielsen.
In 2011 advertising targeting black consumers across television, radio and magazines reached $2.1 billion, according to Nielsen. This was a modest increase from the year before and was just 2 percent of the $120 billion spent on advertising that year.

Совјетска репресија у Белорусији се односи на случајеве неоснованог кривичног гоњења људи у Белорусији, у време када је земља била под комунстичком влашћу, која је обухватила прогон људи за наводне контрареволуционарне активности, као и депортацију људи у другим регионима СССР на основу њихове социјалне, етничке, верске или друге припадности.

Историја
Репресија је почела 1917. година, а достигла врхунац током 1930-их година, а нарочито током Велике чистке у Совјетском Савезу од 1937 до 1938. године. Значајна погубљења познатих белоруских интелектуалаца и политичара су спроведена током ноћи 29 и 30. октобра 1937. године, у вези са измишљеним случајем око рада Уније за ослобођење Белорусије из 1930. године. Хиљаде етнички Пољака је убијено за време Пољске операције НВКД (1937-38), а њихове породице су често биле депортоване у Казашку Совјетску Социјалистичку Републику.

Други талас репресије догодио се од 1939-1941. године у Западној Белорусији након њене анексије од стране Совјетског Савеза, када су хиљаде кулака, друштвених и политичких лидера, бивших пољских званичника и осуђеника убијени или насилно пресељени у Казахстан, Сибир и другим регионима Совјетског Савеза. Репресија је у великој мери заустављења након смрти Јосифа Стаљина 1953. године. Тачан број људи који су постали жртве совјетске репресије у Белорусији је тешко одредити, јер су архиви КГБ-а у Белорусији још увек недоступни за истраживаче.

Број жртава
Према непотпуним проценама, око 600.000 људи је било жртва совјетске репресије у Белорусији између 1917. и 1953. године. Остале процене повећавају бројку на више од 1,4 милиона људи, са 250.000 осуђених од стране судства или извршених од стране вансудиских тела. Са изузетком оних који су ођени 1920. и 1930-их година, више од 250.000 Белоруса је депортовано у гулаге или чланове породице у гулаге и у регионима ван Белоруске Совјетске Социјалистичке Републике.

358.686 људи за које се верује да су жртва совјетске репресије било је осуђено на смрт у Белорусији у периоду од 1917-1953. године, према историчару Василу Кушнеру. Укупно, око 200.000 жртава совјетске политичке репресије рехабилитовано је између 1954 и 2000. године.

Ефекти репресије

Наука

Према Кушнеру, тридесетих година прошлог века је само 26 белоруских академика и 6 дописника белоруске академија наука нису биле под утицајем репресије. Од 139 доктора наука у Белорусији 1934. године, само шест лица је избегло репресију. Према Кушнеру, совјетска репресија практично је спречила истраживање хуманистичких наука у Белорусији.

Према белоруском-шведском историчару Андреју Катларчуку 1930-их година Совјети су забранили даља истраживања 32 историчара из Минска, а њихова дела су била избачена из библиотека..

Књижевност
Према историчару Леаниду Маракау, од око 540-570 писаца који су били објављени у Белорусији током 1920-их и 1930-их година, најмање 440-460 (80%) је постало жртва совјетске репресије. Овај број укључује Тодора Клашторнија и Андреј Мрија и многе друге. Укључујући оне који су били присиљени да напусте Белорусију, најмање 500 (90%) објављених белоруских писаца постало је жртва репресије или четвртина укупног броја писаца прогнаних од стране држава у то време Совјетског Савеза.

У исто време, према Маракау, у Украјини је само 35% до 40% писаца постало жртва совјетске репресије, док је у Русији тај број био испод 15%.

Медицина
Укупно 1520 белоруских медицинских специјалиста је постало жртва репресије, укључујући 500 лекара, 200 медицинских сестара, скоро 600 ветеринара и неколико стотина чланова њихових породица који су осуђени под истим правним случајевима..

Значајне жртве совјетске репресије у Белорусији
 Змициер Жилунович, књижевник, поетичар и новинар, први лидер Совјетске Социјалистичке Републике Белорусије, ухапшен за време Велике чистке 1937. године
 Бранислав Тарашкевич, лингвиста, преводилац и западно-белоруски политичар, погубљен 1938. година
 Вацлав Ластоуски, историчар књижевности, члан Белоруске научне академија, бивши премијер Белоруске Народне Републике, погубљен 1938. година
 Адам Станкевич, католички свештеник, хришћански демократски политичар из Западне Белорусије, умро је у концентрационом логору 1949. године.

Савремена комеморација

Крајем 1980-их година утицајни про-демократски и про-независни покрет у Белорусији (Белоруски народни фронт) у великој мери били су инспирисани Перестројком и налазима гробова на бившем совјетском полигону у Курапатију код Минска.

За разлику од суседних држава, власти у Републици Белорусији на челу са председником Александром Лукашенком дају ограничен приступ државном архиву повезаним са стаљинистичком репресијом и не обележава жртве комунизма на државном нивоу.

Демократска опозиција, конзервативна хришћанска партија, обновљена Белоруска хришћанска партија и партија БНФ обележавају страдање жртава совјетског режима 29. и 30. октобра, на дан масовног погубљења белоруских писаца 1937. године.

South Park Parodies Logic's VMA Performance Of '1-800-273-8255' | Music News
byYoane Joylyn Del Maschio
Everybody knows the song "1-800-273-8255" by Logic featuring Alessia Cara and Khalid which was released on April 28. The title of this song is the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline phone number.
This single has been prominent on charts such as Billboard Hot 100 and Canadian Hot 100 upon its release, and on September 8, the track was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America. Logic also performanced the song at the 2017 MTV Video Music Awards, bringing it to the top three on the Billboard Hot 100.
However in typical fashion for American sitcom South Park, for their newest episode on Comedy Central, the creators decided to parody Logic's VMA performance.
In the South Park clip, we can see one of the main character, Eric Cartman, dressed as the artist in a black hoodie, like in his VMA performance. While his classmates try to increase awareness of distracted driving, he starts singing the song using words such as "Eric, we don't want you to die/Eric, give life a try".
Of course there was some humor in this parody, but many followers didn't like that the series was making fun of a topic such as suicide. Watch the clip below and decide for yourself.

This link will take you to an interactive video and transcript of Senator Barack Obama's speech in Philadelphia on March 18, 2008.
It is a long speech (37 minutes) but you can jump to the various sections of it and read along with the transcript as Obama speaks. Listen and read for a few minutes and you will see what a fantastic speaker this man is.
The man is an amazing speaker. He appears to be delivering this speech without ever glancing down at a sheet of paper. And as far as I can tell he is not reading from a teleprompter either.
I like what he has to say about race in America. It is a complex problem and he reminds us that it is not one that will simply go away.

McGahey - Nutty Mixture.
Seeing as the description for this is very basic I had no idea at all what I'd get. As it turns out, it's a dark, course cut blend with a slightly nutty aroma. Because the cuttings are still chunky they've held some water inside them; they're in need of a moderate drying time. Once a good level of hydration has been accomplished it's a good smoke though.
I enjoy the smoke to a higher degree than I expected; mind you, as I said, the description gave me pretty much zero expectations! The nut topping hasn't been added in a ridiculous quantity. The flavour I get mainly is a sort of toasty one. This taste is most heart-warming. I don't agree with this being a straight Virginia: it's far too dark. I'd say it's more like a Cavendish/Burley. It doesn't have too much or too little nicotine; that's the long way of saying it's medium I guess!
I don't class this as an aromatic blend; it has a topping that's been added to a level where it can be tasted but it's not a large enough amount to be labelled 'Aromatic'. Forgetting that niggle, it's still a nice smoke! Three stars.

The Schulze method (/ˈʃʊltsə/) is an electoral system developed in 1997 by Markus Schulze that selects a single winner using votes that express preferences. The method can also be used to create a sorted list of winners. The Schulze method is also known as Schwartz Sequential dropping (SSD), cloneproof Schwartz sequential dropping (CSSD), the beatpath method, beatpath winner, path voting, and path winner.
The Schulze method is a Condorcet method, which means that if there is a candidate who is preferred by a majority over every other candidate in pairwise comparisons, then this candidate will be the winner when the Schulze method is applied.
The output of the Schulze method (defined below) gives an ordering of candidates. Therefore, if several positions are available, the method can be used for this purpose without modification, by letting the k top-ranked candidates win the k available seats. Furthermore, for proportional representation elections, a single transferable vote variant has been proposed.
The Schulze method is used by several organizations including Debian, Ubuntu, Gentoo, Software in the Public Interest, Free Software Foundation Europe, Pirate Party political parties and many others.
The input for the Schulze method is the same as for other ranked single-winner electoral systems: each voter must furnish an ordered preference list on candidates where ties are allowed (a strict weak order).
give the same preference to more than one candidate. This indicates that this voter is indifferent between these candidates.
use non-consecutive numbers to express preferences. This has no impact on the result of the elections, since only the order in which the candidates are ranked by the voter matters, and not the absolute numbers of the preferences.
keep candidates unranked. When a voter doesn't rank all candidates, then this is interpreted as if this voter (i) strictly prefers all ranked to all unranked candidates, and (ii) is indifferent among all unranked candidates.
In other words, in a pairwise comparison each candidate in the path will beat the following candidate.
In the following example 45 voters rank 5 candidates.
The cells for d[X, Y] have a light green background if d[X, Y] > d[Y, X], otherwise the background is light red. There is no undisputed winner by only looking at the pairwise differences here.
Now the strongest paths have to be identified. To help visualize the strongest paths, the set of pairwise preferences is depicted in the diagram on the right in the form of a directed graph. An arrow from the node representing a candidate X to the one representing a candidate Y is labelled with d[X, Y]. To avoid cluttering the diagram, an arrow has only been drawn from X to Y when d[X, Y] > d[Y, X] (i.e. the table cells with light green background), omitting the one in the opposite direction (the table cells with light red background).
One example of computing the strongest path strength is p[B, D] = 33: the strongest path from B to D is the direct path (B, D) which has strength 33. But when computing p[A, C], the strongest path from A to C is not the direct path (A, C) of strength 26, rather the strongest path is the indirect path (A, D, C) which has strength min(30, 28) = 28. The strength of a path is the strength of its weakest link.
For each pair of candidates X and Y, the following table shows the strongest path from candidate X to candidate Y in red, with the weakest link underlined.
for every other candidate X.
The only difficult step in implementing the Schulze method is computing the strongest path strengths. However, this is a well-known problem in graph theory sometimes called the widest path problem. One simple way to compute the strengths, therefore, is a variant of the Floyd–Warshall algorithm. The following pseudocode illustrates the algorithm.
1 # Input: d[i,j], the number of voters who prefer candidate i to candidate j.
2 # Output: p[i,j], the strength of the strongest path from candidate i to candidate j.
This algorithm is efficient and has running time O(C3) where C is the number of candidates.
When allowing users to have ties in their preferences, the outcome of the Schulze method naturally depends on how these ties are interpreted in defining d[*,*]. Two natural choices are that d[A, B] represents either the number of voters who strictly prefer A to B (A>B), or the margin of (voters with A>B) minus (voters with B>A). But no matter how the ds are defined, the Schulze ranking has no cycles, and assuming the ds are unique it has no ties.
Although ties in the Schulze ranking are unlikely, they are possible. Schulze's original paper proposed breaking ties in accordance with a voter selected at random, and iterating as needed.
iteratively [a] delete all candidates not in the Schwartz set (i.e. any candidate x which cannot reach all others who reach x) and [b] delete the graph edge with the smallest value (if by margins, smallest margin; if by votes, fewest votes).
the winner is the last non-deleted candidate.
There is another alternative way to demonstrate the winner of the Schulze method. This method is equivalent to the others described here, but the presentation is optimized for the significance of steps being visually apparent as you go through it, not for computation.
Make the results table, called the "matrix of pairwise preferences," such as used above in the example. If using margins rather than raw vote totals, subtract it from its transpose. Then every positive number is a pairwise win for the candidate on that row (and marked green), ties are zeroes, and losses are negative (marked red). Order the candidates by how long they last in elimination.
If there's a candidate with no red on their line, they win.
Otherwise, draw a square box around the Schwartz set in the upper left corner. You can describe it as the minimal "winner's circle" of candidates who do not lose to anyone outside the circle. Note that to the right of the box there is no red, which means it's a winner's circle, and note that within the box there is no reordering possible that would produce a smaller winner's circle.
Cut away every part of the table that isn't in the box.
If there is still no candidate with no red on their line, something needs to be compromised on; every candidate lost some race, and the loss we tolerate the best is the one where the loser obtained the most votes. So, take the red cell with the highest number (if going by margins, the least negative), make it green—or any color other than red—and go back step 2.
Here is a margins table made from the above example. Note the change of order used for demonstration purposes.
The first drop doesn't help shrink the Schwartz set.
So we get straight to the second drop, and that shows us the winner, E, with its clear row.
This method can also be used to calculate a result, if you make the table in such a way that you can conveniently and reliably rearrange the order of the candidates on both row and column (use the same order on both at all times).
Peyton Young's criterion Local Independence of Irrelevant Alternatives.
Suppose the MinMax score of a set X of candidates is the strength of the strongest pairwise win of a candidate A ∉ X against a candidate B ∈ X. Then the Schulze method, but not Ranked Pairs, guarantees that the winner is always a candidate of the set with minimum MinMax score.:§4.8 So, in some sense, the Schulze method minimizes the largest majority that has to be reversed when determining the winner.
On the other hand, Ranked Pairs minimizes the largest majority that has to be reversed to determine the order of finish, in the minlexmax sense.  In other words, when Ranked Pairs and the Schulze method produce different orders of finish, for the majorities on which the two orders of finish disagree, the Schulze order reverses a larger majority than the Ranked Pairs order.
In 2011, Schulze published the method in the academic journal Social Choice and Welfare.

Recent-Onset Diabetes May Be Early Sign of Pancreatic Cancer
Pam Harrison
Members of minority populations who have recent-onset diabetes are at significantly greater risk of developing pancreatic cancer, especially within 3 years of being diagnosed with diabetes, an analysis of the Multiethnic Cohort Study (MEC) indicates.
The finding suggests that recent-onset diabetes in African American and Latino individuals may be an early manifestation of asymptomatic pancreatic cancer.
"Most previous studies have been done in Caucasians," Wendy Setiawan, PhD, Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California, Los Angeles, told Medscape Medical News in an email.
"This study is the first population-based prospective study with a large number of minorities — African Americans and Latinos," she added.
"Here we show the association between recent-onset diabetes and pancreatic cancer is evident in these understudied minorities, [although] African Americans and Latinos are also populations known to have high rate of diabetes as well," Setiawan indicated.
The study was published online June 18 in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.
The MEC is a population-based, prospective cohort study involving more than 215,000 men and women from Hawaii and California who were from 45 to 75 years of age at study recruitment.
For the current analysis, the investigators included only MEC participants from California and focused on 48,995 African Americans and Latinos who had not been diagnosed with diabetes or cancer at the time of recruitment.
Almost one third of the cohort (32.3%) developed diabetes between the time of recruitment (1993 and 1996) and 2013, the investigators report.
At an average follow-up of 14 years, the investigators also identified 408 cases of pancreatic cancer. The median age at the time the cancer was diagnosed was 76.7 years.
In the overall cohort, a diagnosis of diabetes increased the risk for pancreatic cancer by more than twofold (hazard ratio [HR], 2.39), the researchers indicate.
However, among Latinos, the risk for pancreatic cancer among those whose diabetes had been diagnosed 3 years or less before their pancreatic cancer was detected was more than fourfold higher compared to those without diabetes (HR, 4.08).
Similarly, among African Americans, the risk for pancreatic cancer among those with recent-onset diabetes was more than threefold higher than it was for those without diabetes (HR, 3.38).
Among participants diagnosed with diabetes and pancreatic cancer, 52.3% developed diabetes in the 36 months preceding the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer.
The frequency of diabetes among participants who developed pancreatic cancer (31.4%) was significantly higher (P < .001) during follow-up than it was for participants who developed colorectal cancer (16.4%), breast cancer (14.5%), or prostate cancer (11.7%).
This was also true of recent-onset diabetes, the frequency of which was "strikingly higher" among participants who developed pancreatic cancer (16.4%) compared with those who developed colorectal cancer (6.7%), breast cancer (5.3%), or prostate cancer (5.5%).
"This striking relationship between recent-onset diabetes is unique to pancreatic cancer, and it is not seen in breast, prostate, and colorectal cancer in the cohort," Setiawan emphasized in a statement.
"Our findings strongly support the hypothesis that recent-onset diabetes is a consequence of pancreatic cancer and that long-standing diabetes is a risk factor for this cancer," she added.
Prediabetic or Diabetic
As previously reported by Medscape Medical News, up to 80% of patients with pancreatic cancer are either prediabetic or diabetic in the presymptomatic phase of the malignancy, suggesting a potential opportunity to identify the cancer early in this high-risk population with recent-onset diabetes.
"As part of a national consortium called the US Consortium on Chronic Pancreatitis, Diabetes and Pancreatic Cancer, we are working diligently to develop tests that can better identify patients with recent-onset diabetes who actually have pancreatic cancer at its earliest stage," Setiawan noted.
"Finding the cancer at an early stage and treating with surgical removal provides the best chance for cure of the disease," she said, adding, however, that these tests are not yet available.
The study was funded by the National Cancer Institute. Dr Setiawan has disclosed no relevant financial relationships.

New Zealand races to find source of puzzling outbreak that's grown to 17 cases
After 100 days with no new coronavirus cases, New Zealand is suddenly dealing with an outbreak. And the source of the new infections continues to stump officials.
Author: NICK PERRY (Associated Press)
Published: 6:14 AM EDT August 13, 2020
Updated: 6:14 AM EDT August 13, 2020
WELLINGTON, New Zealand — A puzzling new outbreak of the coronavirus in New Zealand's largest city grew to 17 cases on Thursday, with officials saying the number will likely increase further.
And a lockdown in Auckland designed to extinguish the outbreak could be extended well beyond an initial three days.
It was a turnabout from Sunday, when the South Pacific nation of 5 million marked 100 days without any cases of local transmission. For most people, life had long returned to normal as they sat down in packed sports stadiums and restaurants or went to school without the fear of getting infected.
The only cases for months had been a handful of returning travelers who have been quarantined at the border. But then earlier this week, health workers discovered four infections in one Auckland household.
The source of the new infections continues to stump officials. Director-General of Health Ashley Bloomfield said genome testing has not yet matched the new cluster with any infections that have been caught at the border, although the testing has indicated the strain of the virus may have come from Australia or Britain.
Auckland was moved to Alert Level 3 on Wednesday, meaning that non-essential workers are required to stay home and bars, restaurants and most businesses are shut. The rest of the country has moved to Level 2, requiring social distancing.
The government is due to make a decision Friday on whether to extend Auckland's lockdown, which seems increasingly likely given the new cases.
The good news for health officials about the latest 13 cases is that they could all be linked through work and family to the initial four cases, meaning there is no evidence yet of a wider community outbreak. Officials say they tested just over 6,000 people on Wednesday.
RELATED: New Zealand records first new coronavirus cases in 102 days
RELATED: New Zealand marks 100 days with no new COVID-19 cases. Here's how the country stopped the spread
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said the outbreak was a reminder of the trickiness of the virus and how easily it can spread.
Medical staff take a COVID-19 test from a visitor to a drive through community based assessment centre in Christchurch, New Zealand, Thursday, Aug. 13, 2020.
"As with our first outbreak, we do have an expectation that things will get worse before they get better," Ardern said. "Modeling suggests that we will still see more positive cases. At this stage, though, it's heartening to see them in one cluster."
Bloomfield said he expected that sooner or later the new cases would be linked to somebody who had arrived in the country with an infection or a worker at a quarantine facility, airport or maritime port.
"At the moment we haven't established a direct connection," Bloomfield said. "But as we find each case and do that thorough interview and investigation, that will help."
Some of those infected work at an Auckland refrigerated food facility, leading to speculation the virus could have survived from abroad on chilled or frozen food.
Bloomfield said they were testing the facility but he thought that scenario was unlikely and that the virus had most likely spread from person to person. Ardern pointed out that the chilled environment could have aided the spread of the virus once one person had it.
The outbreak has caused hours-long delays at virus testing sites around New Zealand and some panic-buying at supermarkets of essential items like toilet paper and flour.

New Zealand first eliminated community transmission of the virus by imposing a strict lockdown in late March when only about 100 people had tested positive for the disease.
Ardern's leadership has been widely praised, and opinion polls indicate support for her liberal Labour Party has surged ahead of a general election scheduled for next month. But the resurgence of the virus has halted campaigning and raised questions about whether the election will go ahead as planned. Under New Zealand law, Ardern could delay the polls for up to two months.

Dominic Cervi (born July 9, 1986) is an American former professional soccer player who played as a goalkeeper.

Personal life
Cervi grew up in Norman, Oklahoma. He played eight seasons for his youth club, Norman Celtic '86. He attended Norman North High School, where he played soccer for all four years. He was named Oklahoma Defensive Player of the Year by The Oklahoman during his junior and senior seasons in 2003 and 2004. He also earned three letters in basketball, where he additionally earned Defensive Player of the Year honors in 2004.

Cervi's great-grandparents were Italian. He received his Italian passport in May 2009, which eliminated the need to obtain a work permit, thus making him a more appealing potential signing for European clubs.

Club career

Youth
Cervi attended the University of Tulsa from 2004 through 2007, making thirty-one starts for the Golden Hurricane and earning All-Conference USA First Team and NSCAA All-Midwest Region Second Team honors in 2007. The Golden Hurricane's best finish during Cervi's time with the team was during his first year, 2004, when the team reached the national quarterfinal at the 2004 Division I Men's College Cup.

Professional
Cervi was drafted by the Chicago Fire with the twelfth overall pick of the 2008 MLS SuperDraft, but he did not sign for the club after rejecting a $32,000 contract offer from Major League Soccer. He was the second goalkeeper taken in the draft. After a trial at 2008 FA Cup winners Portsmouth he was not offered a contract.

Celtic
In October 2008, Cervi joined Celtic on a trial. He made two appearances for Celtic's reserve team, one in a friendly match against Manchester United's reserves, and the other against Greenock Morton. After receiving his Italian passport, Cervi officially joined the SPL club. Cervi never made a competitive first team appearance for Celtic, although was an unused substitute in five league matches.

Cervi was released by the Glasgow club at the end of the 2011-12 season.

Loans moves from Celtic
On December 10, 2010, Cervi was loaned out to Dundee, but did not make any appearances and returned to Celtic after the loan expired.

On November 4, 2011, Cervi joined Morton on a short-term loan until January. He made his debut the next day in a 1-0 win over Ayr United. Cervi declared himself delighted with the result - saying that it was every goalkeeper's dream to get a clean sheet on their debut.

International career
Cervi was named in the United States national team's 21-man World Cup Qualifying roster for the home-and-home series with Barbados on June 15 and 22, 2008.

Cervi was called up for the USA Under-23 team as the number two keeper for the 2008 CONCACAF Men's Pre-Olympic Tournament. He started for the USA in a 1–0 loss against Honduras in the championship game, and again at the U-23 level in a Toulon Tournament match against Turkey. Cervi is eligible to only represent the United States internationally due to his appearances against Honduras and Turkey.

On May 15, 2008, he was invited to camp for friendlies against England, Spain, and Argentina, but made no appearances.

In 2010, he was named in the US squad that defeated South Africa 1–0 on November 17 in Cape Town. He did not play, however, serving as second choice keeper for the match behind Brad Guzan.

Despite having a number of call-ups to his name, Cervi never appeared in a match for the senior national team of the United States.

Business career
After leaving Celtic, Cervi studied at the University of Denver and graduated with a degree in Finance and Accounting. He then embarked on a career in investment banking with U.S. banking firm Capstone Headwaters.

The Victorian Chaise-Longue
The Victorian Chaise-Longue by Marghanita Laski (1953)
I recently read about this short book on the bookarahma blog, and immediately requested it through interlibrary loan. I had just finished How To Be a Victorian and was really in the mood for some Victorian lit, and this little time travel novella fit the bill.
It's the early 1950s and Melanie, who has recently had a baby, is recovering from tuberculosis. She's been on bed rest for several months and hasn't even been allowed to hold her baby yet. But she's doing better, and is allowed to move into another room and lie on the ugly Victorian chaise longue she bought just before getting ill. Then she falls asleep, and when she wakes up she's on the same chaise longue, but in 1864 and everyone is calling her Milly.
This is where it gets kind of creepy. She can look down and see that she is in someone else's body, and she has limited access to Milly's thoughts - certain people look familiar to her and she has some vague memories. Although she is from a very different time, when she speaks the right phrases for the Victorian era come to her lips. Conversely, she cannot seem to say anything that is too inappropriate to that time. In desperation she wants to prove that she is from the future by telling the people around her about future events, but she physically can't say the words. But worst of all, Milly also has tuberculosis but she's not recovering as Melanie was in more modern times.
Everyone is so condescending to Melanie, acting very stern every time she gets the least bit excited or upset about anything. Of course it's even worse when she is Milly because she's farther back in time when women were looked down upon even more. This all reminded me a bit of The Yellow Wallpaper, in that Melanie/Milly was cooped up and infantilized and heading down a pretty dark spiral.
Melanie tried to figure out what caused her to travel back in time, and thus, what could possibly get her home. But she was helpless in her illness, unable to even get up. All during her ordeal, she kept thinking that in her present, everyone was dead, including Milly.
"This body I am in, it must have rotted filthily, this pillowcase must be a tatter of rag, the coverlet corrupt with moth, crisp and sticky with matted moths' eggs, falling away into dirty crumbling scraps. It's all dead and rotten, the barley-water tainted, the nightgown threadbare and thrown away, these hands, all this body stinking, rotten, dead."
If that's not a vision of horror, I don't know what is.
There's more to it too, a secret that Milly has kept from her sister, and another that they both share, but Melanie doesn't discover them until very late in the story. She has no real allies at all, and must endure this bewildering ordeal alone.
A pretty satisfying little story, if you like that sort of thing, which obviously I do. And it qualifies for the very conveniently-located time travel space in my Winter Bingo. I didn't even plan that!

Windows XP source code leaked
Microsoft has not yet commented on the situation
A user on the overseas forum 4chan released a document claiming to be the source code of WindowsXP with a total volume of 43GB. At present, the source code has been widely disseminated and Microsoft has not yet responded to this.
Despite the fact that support for Windows XP ended 6 years ago. It is still used on a large number of both home computers and industrial equipment. But with today's leaked Windows XP source code many users both private and corporate will be thinking hard about continuing to use it.
Windows XP classic desktop, picture source Microsoft
Some independent security researchers have begun to study the code in-depth and talk about its accuracy and believe that it can withstand scrutiny (Microsoft has started to share the XP system source code with university researchers, government agencies, etc. )
According to the source, the OS source code was published on the American forum 4chan. And later it was posted on the Mega cloud service. Independent experts have already analyzed the code and confirmed the authenticity of the data but Microsoft has not yet commented on this data. The leaked thread on 4chan was active for about four hours, after which it was sent to the archive.
We do not share leaks. However, you're free to try the method suggested in this attached image. pic.twitter.com/MwQYAvNTpK

Hackers and developers alike have different uses for the Windows XP source code. Some may start looking for new security holes (and they will surely find them). While others may introduce support for modern hardware into an old OS. It all depends on the goals and aspirations of a particular person.
READ ALSO: Windows 10 Bug was too hot for the NSA to use
Judging by the screenshot above, the leak contains not only the source code of Windows XP but also other Microsoft operating systems. Among them:
MS-DOS 3.30
MS-DOS 6.0
Windows CE 3
Windows Embedded 7
Windows Embedded CE
Windows NT 4
Dump of the original Xbox source code
In addition, the code publisher is suspected to have released a 2.9GB Windows Serer 2003. The leaker also stated that, in fact, the source code of Windows XP has been privately transmitted between hackers for many years but it was released publicly for the first time today.
Taskboot learned that the Windows XP operating system was officially released on October 25, 2001, and the name "XP" means Experience. On April 8, 2014, Microsoft terminated its technical support for the system. But after that, it still released patches for the system during some major computer security incidents.
The leak also mentions Windows Serer 2003. Interestingly, according to rumors, among hackers, the source code of Windows XP is not new for a long time, but its public release was recorded for the first time.

As a business enabler, the IT Operations team for a global financial services provider, needed to ensure that IT systems and services were functioning at peak levels to support the accurate and timely delivery of services. When a critical IT system became degraded or unavailable, IT needed to assess, diagnose and resolve the issue as quickly as possible to minimize customer and business impact.
Additionally, like every IT Operations team, the client needed to reduce both the number of incidents and their mean time to resolution, especially for business-critical systems and those that may have impacted the customer's experience. The underlying need being for improved data quality and integrity—enabling visibility into who and what was impacted, correlated to business services, so resources could be managed to achieve faster incident resolution and ensure customer needs were met.
The client turned to ServiceNow and Aeritae, to optimize how they manage and respond to events, alerts and incidents. In just under 5 months, the team was able to stand up an out-of-box Jakarta instance, populated a CMDB with Discovery, integrated monitoring solutions into Event Management, and mapped approximately 48 services with Service Mapping.
Event correlation and service mapping are creating opportunities for IT to preempt events from becoming incidents. Major incident response and resolution times are being reduced because the full scope and impact of each incident is understood from the very beginning and the necessary technical resources are being alerted automatically.
"ITOM is a journey, but you can achieve tangible value in less than 6 months. If you approach Discovery and Service Mapping in a structured way and identify hurdles up front, you can start to drive iterative value out of the solution very quickly."


6. What is a translation memory?
A translation memory (or TM) is a useful tool for performing cost-effective translation with consistency and accuracy. A TM is a digital archive of "source" text segments (sentences and phrases) which are paired with their equivalent "target" translations. We build and maintain a TM for each client. When a client needs to update a translated document, the new version can be compared with the client's TM. Only those new segments that have no matches in the TM are charged at full price. Segments which have already been translated, or which require minor changes, will be charged at a reduced word rate. Click here for more information.

Two new sets of traffic lights along Ballarat's Sturt Street are being switched on as part of the Victorian Government's multi-million-dollar investment in improving safety and accessibility in the city's CBD.
Member for Wendouree Juliana Addison said new traffic lights at the Ascot Street and Ripon Street intersections would be operational by Tuesday afternoon, boosting safety for thousands of drivers, pedestrians and cyclists each day.
The intersections were also upgraded to include new line marking and new streetlights.
The traffic lights are part of a wider project to boost safety at seven high-risk intersections along Sturt Street as part of the Victorian Government's $9.3 million Ballarat Safer Cycling Connections program.
New traffic signals at the Raglan Street intersection are will also be switched on in the coming weeks, while works to reconfigure the Talbot and Windermere street intersections will be completed in early November.
Other upgrades to be delivered as part of the package include converting the Errard and Lyons street intersections into safer U-turn only sites.
The upgrades along Sturt Street are all part of the Government's $1.4 billion investment into reducing road trauma and are being delivered by Regional Roads Victoria in partnership with the Transport Accident Commission.
Quotes attributable to Member for Wendouree Juliana Addison
"These new lights have been installed to improve road safety in Ballarat following the shocking crash history at both these intersections. The traffic lights will also improve connections for pedestrians and cyclists."

Washington – A California federal judge's decision not to force the Trump administration to make cost-sharing reduction payments as required by the Affordable Care Act, does not end this vital litigation, the National Health Law Program said.
NHeLP Senior Attorney Abigail Cousolle, said that even with the efforts by California to protect health care consumers from the Trump administration's action to end the cost-sharing reduction payments, patients will still be harmed and likely lose coverage and that consumers in many other states where no action is taken will suffer even more.
Read the "friend of the court" brief in this case, California v. Trump, that NheLP filed on behalf of Families USA, NHeLP and 29 other health care and advocacy groups.

Online Co-Op: 10 Players
NBA Live 10 Co-Op Review
Review 11/5/2009 at 8:53 AM by Loren "AgtFox" Halek
It's been years since I last played an NBA Live game. Sure, I've played the demos, but I have never been impressed since the series made the jump to the current generation of consoles. 2K's NBA have simply done things better and won every year almost by default. With NBA Live 10 I think EA Sports has finally turned that corner and created a game that can compete with the 2K offering, although I am basing that on my play of last year's NBA 2K9. It is obvious the development team has given as much time and care with making this as other EA developers have since Madden NFL 10 came out.
Both NBA games take different paths in the overall control and feel sections. With 2K they use the right analog stick to make shots while Live uses the X button to do so. Live uses the right analog stick for different moves that depends on the status your player is currently at (standing up dribbling, driving, etc.). This makes the Live series a more dynamic one in the control arena, but in past iterations that greatness has been brought down by such things as slowdown with framerate, very loose controls and overall bad AI from what I have played of them.
Since we are at Co-Optimus, we need to talk about what NBA Live 10 has in the co-op arena. The main co-op mode would be Team Play through online. You can play 5 vs. 5 online and it is pretty fun. The only minus is that you can't play a whole season this way, just one game. These games also seem to devolve into everyone wanting to hog the ball and wanting to shoot the ball instead of actual team play. The lag isn't so bad here, although there are times it may hop a bit. There is also the Adidas Live Run mode where you play a 5 vs. 5 game of 21. It is rather fun because you get to choose your player and records are kept for at least a month. However the brass ring in a basketball game would be the ability to play Dynasty online cooperatively (meaning having at least you and a friend doing managing/playing), which this game doesn't give you. They've certainly come forward in the co-op arena, but to make it a full experience there must be a Dynasty option.

Lately I've made some decisions that my friends have seen as "self-destructive." I understand why they think that, but I don't agree.
All I've been doing is saying "yes" a whole lot more.
I've always been a worrier. I grew up with awful social anxiety. I still have it pretty bad today, but to be honest, it's easier to cope with as an adult and a functioning member of society than it is when you're thrown into a classroom of strangers and told to go play. I also have general anxiety that developed with my depression -- a depression that I am now 100 percent over, but still feel the anxious effects of.
My anxiety and my worries led to a lot of "no," because I always cared more about the "what ifs" than the "what ares."
I always read blogs and articles about living in the present and only worrying about today and blah blah blah, but I'm a planner. I'm extremely type-A and a lot of my anxiety comes when plans are changed or there isn't a plan to begin with. I will plan things way in advance to make myself feel better about the direction my life is going in, but because of that, I've had quite a few empty days on my calendar, because the planner in me would say, "no, that's not a stable enough plan."
I said no to almost every opportunity I had to have a real relationship with a man and I even ignored some opportunities for new friendships. I said no to nights out with anyone other than my very close friends, I said no to dating, I even said no to going to church for a while.
Every opportunity that was presented to me got an immediate "no" because of my fears -- fears of what society might think, fears of what people in my life might think, fears of what I might think later on.
I wasn't happy. I told myself I was, but I wasn't. I wasn't truly happy until I let myself say yes.
Last year, I was offered a spot among a class of 30 to study in New York for a semester. It took me a solid month to decide whether or not I wanted to go and that should've been a no-brainer. But I stayed up late almost every night that month, making and remaking my pro/con list. The con side was basically a list of things that I was worrying about but shouldn't have been. Things like, "I'll be away from my friends for five months" and "I'll miss so many things."
I eventually said yes and it was the best thing I could have done for myself.
Thankfully, my friends (who I did not even come close to losing, by the way) filled me on everything and made my return from New York seamless. I was worried about nothing.
The success that came with my semester in New York completely changed my perspective on life. I'm saying "yes" to everything that's healthy and good now. I say yes to dates, yes to parties, yes to spontaneous road trips, yes to trying new things and I feel so grateful for all of it. I'm happier than I've ever been, all because I made the conscious decision to lock away my anxieties and learn to say "yes."
Don't get me wrong, anxiety is a mental illness that can't be pushed aside with a split second decision. It took me months -- years, really -- to get to a point where I was able to do that. However, the biggest step you can take in fighting an illness like depression or anxiety is to decide to fight it.
Decide to say "yes" more.

How new Aarto bill will affect insurance premiums
President Cyril Ramaphosa has signed the Administrative Adjudication of Road Traffic Offences (Aarto) Bill into law. The bill proposes introduction of a demerit system for South African drivers, and it is expected to fundamentally change driving in the country.
The Aarto Bill will result in the setting up of a demerit system for drivers, who lose points for traffic offences, which may result in the loss of a driving licence.
In the wake of this new bill, a few insurance service providers have suggested that the bill may have harsh effects on the insurance industry, one of them being the suspension of motorists' licences which could increase insurance premiums or excess for SA drivers in general.
The immediate concern for most motorists will be around how much this new bill will affect their insurance premiums. Old Mutual Insure insurance expert, Christelle Colman, says: "The demerit system could potentially be linked to an underwriting criterion as it does reflect driving behaviour. Drivers with a poor record on this system could face higher premiums but that would be at the discretion of each company."
Depending on how well and efficiently the bill is rolled out, this new law could see good drivers benefit from better premiums with the bad drivers being penalised. The transport department says the new law will help reduce road deaths across the country.
The bill does however paint a bit of a dim picture when it comes to how it will affect the insurance industry. Colman says: "The highest risk is that drivers could lose their licences due to speed fines (even minor ones) which could potentially mean that their existing motor policies will not respond or that they will not be able to get motor insurance. We already have a very high percentage of uninsured vehicles on the road. This will increase uninsured vehicles on the road and will also have a severe impact on the recovery process after an accident."
To further compound matters, the repossession of drivers' licences would cause drivers' claims/cover to be forfeited. Colman cautions that, "based on current policy wording cover will not exist if a driver does not have a valid driver's licence. It will also be very difficult for insurance companies to waive this requirement as it is law to have a valid driver's licence."
Amid all the mixed reactions from the greater South African public, Old Mutual Insure has already started with preparations for the implementation of the new bill and is currently reviewing their underwriting criteria to see what their approach will be.

"Jesus was driving out a demon that was mute, and when the demon had gone out, the mute man spoke and the crowds were amazed.
But if it is by the finger of God that (I) drive out demons, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.
But when one stronger than he attacks and overcomes him, he takes away the armor on which he relied and distributes the spoils.
Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters." -Luke 11:14-23.
The great Saint Thomas was born of noble parents at Aquino near Naples in Italy, in 1225; his century was replete with great names and Christian works, yet he dominates it by the power of his thought and the perfection of his works.
In his childhood he was the provider for the poor of the neighborhood during a famine; his father, meeting him in a corridor with the food he had succeeded in taking from the kitchen, asked him what he had under his cloak; he opened it and fresh roses fell on the ground.
The nobleman embraced his son and amid his tears, gave him permission to follow thereafter all inspirations of his charity.
The young student, like the holy man Job, made a pact with his eyes and forbade them to see anything which might favor in his heart any desires for a life of ease.
At the University of Naples he led a retired life of study and prayer, and continued his charities, giving all he had which was superfluous.
He was recognized already by his professors as a genius, but it was Saint Albert the Great who later said of his disciple whom some called the mute ox, that some day the lowing of this ox will resound throughout the entire world.
At the age of seventeen he received the Dominican habit at Naples. His family opposed this choice, and he was set upon by his brothers on his way to Paris.
They attempted in vain to remove his holy habit, but he was taken in custody and obliged to suffer a two years' captivity in their castle of Rocca Secca.
Neither the caresses of his mother and sisters, nor the threats and stratagems of his brothers, could shake him in his vocation.
His older sister was won over by him and renounced a brilliant marriage to embrace religious life; later she was Abbess of her convent in Capua.
While Saint Thomas was in confinement at Rocca Secca, his brothers endeavored to entrap him into sin, but the attempt only ended in the triumph of his purity. Snatching from the hearth a burning coal, the Saint drove from his chamber the courtesan whom they had concealed there.
Then marking a cross upon the wall, he knelt down to pray.
Immediately, while he was rapt in ecstasy, an Angel girded him with a cord, in token of the gift of perpetual chastity which God had given him.
The pain caused by the girdle was so sharp that Saint Thomas uttered a piercing cry, which brought his guards into the room.
But he never related this grace to anyone save Father Raynald, his confessor, a short time before his death.
Thus originated the Confraternity of the Angelic Warfare, for the preservation of the virtue of chastity.
Having at length escaped, Saint Thomas went to Cologne to study under Blessed Albert the Great, and afterwards was sent with him to Paris, where for several years he taught philosophy and theology.
The Church has ever venerated his numerous writings as a treasure of sacred doctrine; in naming him the Angelic Doctor she has indicated that his science is more divine than human.
The rarest gifts of intellect were combined in him with the most tender piety. Prayer, he said, had taught him more than study.
His singular devotion to the Blessed Sacrament shines forth in the Office and hymns which he composed for the feast of Corpus Christi.
To the words miraculously uttered by a crucifix at Naples, Well hast thou written concerning Me, Thomas. What shall I give thee as a reward? he replied, Naught save Thyself, O Lord.
Saint Thomas was loved for his unfailing gentleness and his readiness to lend his services or great lights to all who sought them.
He died at Fossa Nuova in 1274, on his way to the General Council of Lyons, to which Pope Gregory X had summoned him.

Q: Twistd executable on Python3 I have a Twisted daemon application that works without raising any problem on Python 2 using twistd. However, I want to support Python3 as well, and although all my code works, it seems that the twistd executable is not present on the Twisted version for python 3 (apparently the twisted.scripts package is not included). Has anybody found a workaround for this? Sure I can run my daemons without twistd, but it would make the task a bit more complicated and I think it is a elegant way as well.
Thanks in advance!

A: Only some parts of Twisted are currently ported to Python 3 and I think the twisted.scripts package is not yet available.
You can find here status of this ongoing work, and the Porting to Python 3 documentation page links to the twisted.python.dist3 module which describes the currently ported modules.

The X Factor: The Band loses in ratings battle to Channel 5 Aldi documentary
Channel 5's festive supermarket documentary Aldi at Christmas pulled in more viewers than ITV and Simon Cowell's The X Factor: The Band
Thursday, 12th December 2019 at 12:33 pm
ITV's The X Factor has had a tumultuous year, owing to various attempts to revamp the format and rekindle the public's interest in the series. However, recent ratings reveal Simon Cowell's once-beloved show is still struggling to attract the big figures.
Wednesday night's episode of spin-off The X Factor: The Band – which sees younger singers compete to be part of the next One Direction or Little Mix – pulled in combined ratings of 1.63 million, which meant it had a smaller overall audience than Channel 5's show about Aldi.
The hour-long documentary Aldi at Christmas aired at 9pm on Wednesday night, meaning it overlapped with The X Factor: The Band (8.30-10pm). The festive film was watched by 1.72 million viewers and provided a behind-the-scenes look at the supermarket's success during the holiday season.

The X Factor: The Band's dip in ratings may prove a blow to Cowell, and also to ITV, which just announced it's signed a five-year deal with the entertainment mogul's company Syco, ensuring the televised singing contest (which at its peak pulled in 19.4 million viewers back in 2010) will return in 2020.
Earlier this year, Cowell scrapped the familiar civilian X Factor series for two smaller series, before apparently changing his mind again and launching The X Factor: The Band.
The X Factor: The Band continues Friday 13th December, with the live final taking place from 8:10pm on Sunday 15th December.
