TOKYO (AP) — Japan said Thursday it has granted its first permit for a South Korea-bound shipment of chemicals to produce high-tech materials under Tokyo's new export requirement that has increased tensions with Seoul.
Trade Minister Hiroshige Seko made a rare announcement of the approval, saying that officials determined that the transaction raised no security concerns. The move is apparently meant to calm South Korean anger over Tokyo's export curbs and show there is no trade ban in place.
Japan imposed stricter controls on three key materials — fluorinated polyimides, photo resists and hydrogen fluoride — that are used mainly by South Korea's semiconductor industry as of July 4. The rules also downgrade South Korea's trade status beginning later this month.
Japanese chemical manufacturers have expressed concerns that case-by-case inspections may prolong the approval process and hold up production for their customers.
The first approval came after about a month, faster than the standard 90 days.
"The permit merely demonstrates that export licensing by the Japanese government is not arbitrary, and is granted to any legitimate transactions that pass strict inspections," Seko told reporters. "The step we took recently is not an export ban."
South Korean President Moon Jae-in remained cautious while expressing hope the impact of Japan's measures won't be as severe as Seoul had feared.
"Our government has planned for a worst-case situation since Japan converted its export approvals of the three materials to a case-by-case basis and has been preparing and announcing both short-term and long-term measures," he said.
"Of course, Japan may not proceed with export restrictions and there might not be any actual damage caused (to South Korean companies). But what hasn't changed is that uncertainty is still alive."
Late Thursday, more than 100 people gathered outside the Japanese prime minister's residence in Tokyo to urge the government to reverse the downgrading of South Korea's trade status and to apologize for wartime atrocities in an effort fix rapidly souring relations.
Holding up signs that said "No Abe," the protesters, which included Christian groups and pacifists, said they feared for regional peace and stressed Japan has failed to fully apologize and compensate victims for its 1910-1945 colonialization of the Korean Peninsula.
The Japanese government position is that all compensation issues are settled.
Nahoko Hishiyama, one of the protesters, said the hostility between the governments is in contrast to the healthy exchanges between their people, with many Japanese enjoying Korean pop music and cosmetics.
"We must truly repent our past," she said.
Sungjae Kim, a minister and member of the National Christian Council in Japan, said an exhibit in Japan that included a statue representing a wartime Korean sex slave had received threats, when Japanese should have welcomed the exhibit if they were truly sorry.
A suspect in the threats was arrested Thursday, said lawmaker Mizuho Fukushima, who was also at the protest. She expressed hope the exhibit would reopen.
Earlier this month, thousands of people protested outside the Japanese Embassy in Seoul, carrying signs that read "Boycott Japan," as well as "No Abe."
South Korea says Japan is using trade to retaliate for its court decisions ordering Japanese companies to compensate Korean forced laborers before and during World War II. Japanese officials deny the export controls constitute retaliation.

Following a patient death several days after discharge to home, HealthSouth Valley of the Sun partnered with a local pharmacy to deliver high-risk medications to patients' bedsides before discharge.
Despite our practice of providing discharge counseling that includes solidifying plans for obtaining medications, patients were not consistently filling their prescriptions after discharge. The significance of this issue was reinforced when a patient died post discharge after failing to fill a high-risk medication.
HealthSouth is a rehabilitation hospital in Glendale, Arizona. It is a 75-bed hospital with a focus on speech therapy, physical therapy and occupational therapy as part of the patient's recovery.
To ensure our patients go home with the right medications, we implemented a plan for bedside delivery of discharge medications. To do this, we established a relationship with a local pharmacy to deliver patients' medications prior to discharge. This service is offered for all medications and to all patients prior to discharge. At HealthSouth, we place an emphasis on CMS-deemed high-risk medications, which are opioids, anticoagulants and hypoglycemic agents. As an example, with the patient's permission, we enroll the patients that are prescribed a novel anticoagulant agent such as Xarelto or Eliquis for a savings card through the manufacturer that gives them a free 30-day supply and discounts on refills and provide the patient with the option of having that medication delivered prior to discharge. For our opioid patients, we run their prescription drug monitoring program (PDMP) prior to discharge and notify the pharmacy of their choosing of our findings. We then verify the medication is in stock and identify any barriers the patient might face to filling their prescription, and also present the patient the option of having the medication delivered by our local pharmacy prior to discharge. For our diabetic patients, we put a prescription label on the insulin pen that was being used to care for the patient while they were at our facility and discharge them with it so they have some insulin on hand upon discharge.
By increasing bedside delivery, we aim to reduce hospital readmission rates. Having a high-risk medication delivered to the patient reduces some of the burden of acquiring this medication upon discharge. We hope to see increased adherence for patients on anticoagulants, opioids and hypoglycemic agents by providing this service.
Patients appreciate this service because it reduces the urgency of going to a pharmacy immediately after discharge.
In order to make this work, we recommend beginning this process as soon as possible from the time the patient is admitted to ensure that any problems are able to be resolved prior to discharge. Early conversations with the physicians on potential discharge medications can help streamline this process. Early conversations with patients as to which pharmacy they would like to get their medications filled upon discharge and presenting the option of getting their discharge medications delivered to them prior to leaving the facility also helps this process. We also recommend developing a relationship with a local pharmacy. We hope to expand this process and get more pharmacies involved so we can offer our patients more variety in our bedside delivery service.

Extravagant Colors as Healing Spaces
The Spiritual Art of Marilyn Biles
Marilyn Biles Web Page
Every vision of the world implies some sort of philosophy.
My art is motivated by a spiritual force that compels a means of expression. It is the language by which I interpret the universal creative spirit as it becomes known to me. It is the means of expressing the passion for finding the truth that is me as I uncover the purposes, boundaries and directions of my mind.
Every painting is a new research project done in the unproved present creating symbols from experiences that express myself as I contact and am inspired by the world.
Unselfconsciously, I am exposing my inner life to others whose tastes and opinions are different but nevertheless are as valid as my own.
To the extent that I am able to think and see with a difference, others will in turn be enriched by my art.
Leaving my comfort zone and calling on spirit facilitates improvisational healing spaces that appear in and beyond the surface of my paintings. That is where change happens and by way of form and color takes me to another dimension where words cannot. From that interior inspiration newly invented work surfaces making detached contemplation possible for the viewer or myself if I choose to revisit these thoughts at a later time.
Marilyn Biles
Marilyn Biles offers us improvisational healing spaces. At every moment of our lives we live somewhere between past events that we carry in our memories and future events that we anticipate with our imaginations. The present moment is our open space. It is a moment in which we decide how we will respond to the past and our response then shapes who we will become in the future. It shapes our lives from then on. Whitehead puts it this way: "How an actual entity becomes constitutes what an actual entity is."
The past events to which we are responding are not simply objective situations that can be described in mathematical or verbal terms. They are also and more deeply the moods and feelings that we experienced as we responded to those situations. These moods are always beyond words. They have their rhythms and their colors, which means that we can sing them and paint them. Often the rhythms and colors go together, and we find ourselves hearing colors.
Music is what feelings sound like and colors are what feelings look like. At least this is how process philosophers see things. For them - for us -- the universe is itself a vast and evolving network of energetic happenings, each of which has a feeling tone which is its own response to its circumstances in the moment at hand. People have feelings, living cells have feelings, and even quantum events with the depths of an atom have feelings. There is something like subjectivity everywhere. Wherever there is energy, there is also feeling. Physically felt energy is physically felt feeling.
This means that when we paint or sing feelings, we are simultaneously expressing feelings that can be found throughout creation. Marilyn Biles puts it this way -- "It feels like I'm very much in touch with my inner being, that I'm working with myself and only for myself", she explains. "I'm in touch with all creation." She is right. When we turn inward in meditation, we are not necessarily turning away from the rest of creation. Rather we are turning to experiences which we share with creation and which, if we choose, we can share back. Marilyn Biles paintings are her sharing back.
But before she shares there is an act of knowing and it is very much part of her creative process. The knowing is a feeling of the mood and a discernment of its colors and tonalities. Typically it is a mood from the past. The knowing is much deeper than sense-perception. It is a momentary withdrawing from sense-perception: a feeling of the feelings, a moment of empathy with the past.
And what is the purpose of this knowing? It is not simply nostalgia; it is more forward looking. It's purpose is healing. By healing I do not mean a curing of disease a healing toward wholeness, whatever the circumstances at hand. The wholeness at issue is never final or complete; there is always more to be known. But the wholeness entails a reconciliation of past and present, thus inviting the possibility of taking a next step in life.
What does the healing? Some might be tempted to say that the human healer does the healing, but Marilyn Biles doesn't see it quite this way. Nor do those of us in the process or Whiteheadian tradition. She feels the presence of a spirit -- a breathing within creation -- which is within her, too, and within the whole of creation, and which beckons her into her healing ministry: "My art is motivated by a spiritual force that compels a means of expression." She calls on spirit and spirit calls on her, too.
The very nature of this spirit is love. It is always moving and it knows no boundaries. It cannot be contained within frames in our minds or frames in a gallery, but the contents within those frames can indeed be vessels of its healing compassion. When we touch another person in a healing way, and they feel the energy of our own healing touch, the spirit works through our hands. When we pick up a brush and place colors on a canvas, the spirit also works through our hands. And when other people then behold what we have painted, bringing to it their own life histories, their own philosophies, their own views, the spirit is still again at work, beckoning them to respond to what is presented in their ways. The spirit is not a jealous god but rather a generous love.
Marilyn Biles paintings become lures for feeling, invitations for us to know the matters of the heart and mind which shape our own lives and which can help us take next steps in constructive directions for the sake of life's well-being. In the surfaces of her paintings and also beyond them there is an invitation to improvise our own lives and, as best we can, find the magic colors which are true to a life made whole. In the words of Terri St. Cloud: ""She could never go back and make some of the details pretty. All she could do was move forward and make the whole beautiful."
-- Jay McDaniel
Qualities of Heart and Mind in the Art of Marilyn Biles
Process philosophers use the word "spirituality" to name a constructive and caring way of living in this creative community of subjects. Here, then, is a list of some of the qualities of heart and mind that are essential to the embodied wisdom and emotional intelligence we appreciate. We borrow it from an organization called Spirituality and Practice and call it, with them, the spiritual alphabet:
attention - beauty - being present - compassion - connections - devotion - enthusiasm - faith
forgiveness - grace - gratitude - hope - hospitality - imagination - joy - justice - kindness - listening
love - meaning - nurturing - openness - peace - play - questing - reverence - shadow - silence
teachers - transformation - unity - vision - wonder - x, the mystery - yearning - you - zeal
We encourage you to consider some of these qualities of heart and mind as you rest in the extravagant colors of Marilyn Biles.

Q: Using webmock to mock XMLRPC client in rspec-rails I'm trying to spec a client that goes through the following series of calls via XMLRPC:
post (https) myservice.auth.login (with params login, password)
post (http) myservice.items.list (with sessionid from login)

I'm trying to mock these so I don't have to hit a production XMLRPC service, so I did this:
require 'spec_helper'

describe ItemList do
  it "hydrates the model" do
    stub_request(:post, 'secure-api.myservice.com/webservices/xmlrpc/').
      with(:body =~ /myservice.auth.login/m).
      to_return(:body => AUTH_XML, :status => 200).
    stub_request(:post, 'api.myservice.com/webservices/xmlrpc/').
      with(:body =~ /myservice.items.list/m).
      to_return(:body => ITEMLIST_XML, :status => 200)

    expect{ItemList.hydrate_item_list}.to change(ItemList, :count).from(0).to(3)
  end
end

ITEMLIST_XML=<<EOD

Basically, I don't care what is passed into auth for this spec. I want to authorize anyhow because it's the hoop I need to jump before actually hydrating the model.
These stubs don't seem to be intercepting the posts and I don't understand how I might go about debugging it.
Any hints appreciated!

Home The Most Common Bicycle Accidents
June 30, 2020 Michael Gibson /////////////////////////
The Most Common Bicycle Accidents
Many people use bikes for transportation to work, school, or recreation, but bicyclists face risks. Florida has by far the highest per-capita bicyclist death rate in the country. A recent Florida Traffic Crash Facts Annual Report indicates that there were 9,356 bike crashes, with 720 fatalities and 1,543 incapacitating injuries, in the state in one recent year.
If you have suffered serious injuries in a bicycle accident, you may need a bicycle accident attorney to help you seek compensation for the full cost of your injuries.
Contact Michael T. Gibson, P.A., Auto Justice Attorney today at 407-422-4529 to schedule your free consultation.
Common Causes of Bicycle Accidents
One primary factor or a combination of factors may cause a bicycle accident. When a car runs into a cyclist, 40 percent of the time, the car rear-ends the bicyclist. These accidents often happen at stop signs. Another common scenario is a vehicle crossing into the path of a bicyclist at an intersection or from an alley or driveway. These T-bone accidents happen 11 percent of the time. Motorists who fail to leave an adequate buffer between their cars and a bicycle may cause accidents.
Some of the most common causes of bicycle accidents include:
Driver inattention. Distraction is an underlying cause in many types of crashes. Drivers are about three times more likely to crash if they are making a phone call while driving and 23 times more likely to crash when texting and driving. It is important to note that distracted bicycle riders are also more likely to sustain an injury in an accident.
Failure to yield. When a driver fails to yield to a bicyclist, accidents are more likely to occur. If a motorist fails to yield, a bicyclist may end up trapped in an intersection. Unfortunately, many drivers don't know about their responsibilities, such as when to yield to a bicyclist. Accidents may occur when motorists fail to yield at stop signs, in street lanes, and at intersections where the bicyclist has the right-of-way. Dooring is also a problem. On crowded streets, the cyclist must ride closer to parked cars, and the driver may fail to check for traffic, open the door, and hit the bicyclist.
Speeding. When drivers speed, they require greater stopping time and have less time to avoid potential collisions. Even if the speed limit is fairly low, such as in a residential neighborhood, a driver going too fast puts bicyclists at risk.
Dangerous road conditions. Road hazards are especially risky for bicyclists. Bikes generally have thin tires and are fairly unstable, so sudden changes in the road surface, such as potholes, sewer grates, or train tracks, may cause an accident. If a road hazard causes the accident, the state, county, city, or other entity responsible for road maintenance may face liability.
Riding at night. More than half of all bicycle accidents happen when it is dark outside, simply because drivers may struggle to see bicyclists in time to stop. Bicycles should be equipped with reflectors and lights to increase visibility.
Impaired driving. Drugs and alcohol cause one out of three motor vehicle-related fatalities. Alcohol was involved in 37 percent of all fatal bicyclist crashes in 2017.
Bad weather. Bicyclists generally try to avoid riding in bad weather, but sometimes they find themselves riding in the rain, sleet, fog, or sun glare. In such conditions, drivers may struggle to see bicyclists.
According to an Insurance Institute for Highway Safety study, in 45 percent of fatal bicycle accidents, a motor vehicle was traveling in the same direction as the bicyclist, and 40 percent of serious bicycle collisions happen when a car rear-ends the bicyclist. Therefore, you are more likely to get hurt by being rear-ended by a car than any other way.
The second most likely cause of a serious collision is a T-bone scenario, where a car runs into a cyclist crossing its path perpendicularly. When a bicycle collides with a car, it's the cyclist, of course, who sustains the brunt of the damage. Accidents often result in fatalities, especially when the car is going fast or the cyclist is not wearing a helmet.
Bicyclists involved in a crash may sustain catastrophic injuries, such as:
Head and brain injuries. These may include concussions, skull fractures, or other traumatic brain injuries. Unfortunately, traumatic brain injuries can result in lifelong disabilities.
Internal injuries. A bicycle accident may result in damage to internal organs, such as the liver. It may take hours or even days to discover internal bleeding.
Neck and back injuries. An injured bicyclist may suffer from a wide variety of neck and back injuries, including herniated discs or severe spinal cord damage.
Soft tissue injuries. These may include injuries to muscles, tendons, and ligaments.
Broken bones. Fractures are painful and may require surgery.
Face, eye, and dental injuries
Bicycle Laws in Florida
The rules of the road apply to both bicyclists and car drivers. These rules include traffic laws for cars and any special state or local rules created specifically for cyclists. Both cyclists and car drivers must exercise care when on the road. People are often confused about the rights and responsibilities of bicyclists. Florida law defines a bicycle as a vehicle and the bicyclist as a driver.
Florida law states that "[e]very person propelling a vehicle by human power has all of the rights and all of the duties applicable to the driver of any other vehicle."
Thus, bicyclists have the same rights to the roadways as automobile drivers. Also, cyclists must obey the same traffic laws as drivers of other vehicles. These laws include riding with the flow of traffic, obeying stop signs and red lights, using lights at night, yielding the right-of-way when entering a roadway, and yielding to pedestrians in crosswalks.
The law does not require cyclists to ride on the shoulder, but they may ride on the shoulder if they so choose; however, such riding can present hazards. Bicyclists should never ride in the gutter or hug the curb, both of which greatly increase the risk of a crash.
There are some basic rules and regulations for bicyclists established by Florida law, including the following:
Bicyclists must obey all traffic controls and signals.
Bicyclists must use a fixed, regular seat for riding.
The number of riders/passengers on any bicycle is limited to the maximum number for that bike.
Bicyclists must keep at least one hand on the handlebars at all times while riding.
Every bicycle must have a brake that can stop it within 25 feet.
Bikers try to ride reasonably close to the right-hand curb of the road. There are exceptions to this rule, such as when making a left turn, when passing, when avoiding road hazards, when traveling the same speed as all the other traffic, when a lane is too narrow to share with a car safely, or if traveling on a one-way street with at least two lanes.
If two cyclists ride abreast, they must stay within a single lane.
In general, it is legal to ride a bike on a sidewalk in Florida, although some local governments may prohibit it. However, cyclists should note that as long as they are biking on a sidewalk or in a crosswalk, they have all the same responsibilities as pedestrians.
Bicyclists may not use headphones, earbuds, or other listening devices—except for hearing aids.
Florida also mandates certain lighting requirements for bicycles operated between sunset and sunrise.
Take all possible precautions and remain as visible as possible. Wear a properly fitting helmet, and check the condition of your bike and your light before every ride.
Parents and guardians have a responsibility to ensure that their children obey Florida's bicycle laws.
Responsibilities of Drivers
Motor vehicle drivers have all of the basic responsibilities to drive safely, obey traffic laws, and respect the rights of others. Drivers must not only pay attention to their own driving, but also remain aware of other vehicles around them. Bicyclists often have little or no protection when riding, so in an accident, their injuries are often serious or fatal.
Therefore, car drivers must use caution when sharing the road with a cyclist.
Share the Road signs mean that drivers should expect to encounter bicyclists on a particular stretch of road. Usually, these signs are present if a road isn't wide enough to accommodate both bikes and cars in one lane. In those situations, the bicyclist has the right of "first come, first served" and the full use of the lane. Motorists may not pass until it is safe to do so.
Bicyclists usually ride in the right half of the lane, but in some circumstances, they need to ride on the left side.
It is dangerous to make a right turn in front of a bicyclist. Unless the bicyclist has signaled a turn, assume that he or she is moving straight ahead at an intersection.
When making left turns, yield to oncoming bicyclists just as you would to other vehicles. The bicyclist may be going faster than you would think.
Passing and overtaking are risky endeavors, and impatient drivers can cause accidents. Often, it is not necessary to pass a cyclist right away. Take a moment to consider the circumstances. Is oncoming traffic near? Is there stopped traffic ahead? Is there a better opportunity to pass safely up ahead? Are you planning to turn off the road soon? The law provides that if a driver is overtaking a bicycle, the driver must allow a distance of at least 3 feet between the motor vehicle and the bicycle. The driver must pass to the left at a safe distance and shall move back to the right side of the roadway until safely clear of the overtaken bike. When passing a bicyclist, slow down, especially if the road is narrow. Always check and allow adequate space before you move back into your lane.
Be alert to hazards, such as potholes, drain grates, and debris. Give bicyclists adequate space to maneuver around such hazards.
Allow for the inexperience of children on bicycles. Extra care is needed when near kids on bikes. Make sure you are ready for an unexpected turn or swerve.
The Basics of Bicycle Accident Lawsuits
Lawsuits to recover compensation for injuries in bicycle accidents with motor vehicles involve many of the same issues as other car accident lawsuits. The primary question is whether someone's negligence caused the bicyclist's injuries. In addition to a driver's negligence, other possible causes of the harm include a defective bicycle, poorly maintained roads, or unclear bicycle lanes.
Basically, negligence occurs when a person owes a duty to another person and fails in that duty. In such a case, the negligent person is liable for any resulting injuries. In a lawsuit based on negligence, the injured person typically must prove that the other party acted in a way that breached a duty owed to the injured person.
Negligence by a driver can take many forms. It may mean violating the basic duty of care owed to everyone else on the road, such as ignoring traffic signals, driving too fast, or drifting into a bike lane.
Each bicycle accident is unique, and determining liability comes down to the specific facts of the accident. Evidence, such as eyewitness testimony, helps prove the facts and establish liability.
If you were injured in a bicycle accident, you may recover both economic and non-economic compensation. Economic damages include such monetary losses as medical bills and lost wages. Non-economic damages, such as pain and suffering, are more subjective. However, after a catastrophic injury, some of the greatest losses may be non-economic, because such injuries change the way you live your life.
The court may award the following damages:
Any medical bills and expenses related to the accident. These may include emergency care, hospital stays, doctor bills, rehabilitation, or ongoing care.
Compensation for lost wages due to time missed from work for attending medical appointments and during the recovery period
Past, present, and future pain, suffering, and inconvenience
Past, present, and future mental anguish and emotional distress
Loss of earning capacity in cases of permanent physical or mental impairment
Compensation for permanent injuries and damages
Payment of all causally related bills for psychological or psychiatric treatment
Loss of consortium, companionship, or spousal support
Compensation for future medical treatment or procedures (including future surgeries and hospital stays)
What Should You Do in the Event of a Crash?
If you are in an accident, seek medical care as soon as possible. Even if you think you have no injuries or that your injuries are minor, some injuries do not show up until days or even weeks later, making prompt medical attention important.
If possible, take the following actions:
When riding, carry a cell phone, personal identification, and emergency contact information.
Call the police. Even if the accident is minor, an official police report will document the accident.
Leave your bike in the same state it was after the crash, if possible. It is best if the police see the accident scene undisturbed.
Get the driver's name and his or her insurance information, along with the names of any passengers. Do not admit fault. Obtain the contact information of any witnesses.
Take photos of injuries, your bicycle, and the accident scene.
Do not publish photos of or information about your accident on social media. Insurance adjusters and private investigators may read your posts, and such posts may harm your case.
Make no statement to insurance or other people until you talk to a lawyer.
Why You Should Consult a Bicycle Accident Attorney
Bicycles are a great form of transportation and recreation, but you must stay safe on the roads. There are time limits for filing lawsuits in Florida, so contact an attorney without delay. If you or a loved one was injured in a bicycle accident, you should contact an experienced, compassionate bicycle accident attorney to learn about your legal options.

Where Does Your Tap Water Come From?
Mark LeChevallier @amwater
That question is not rhetorical. Before it reaches the pipes in your home, do you know where your tap water comes from? I'm going to answer for you here and assume that you don't, because 77 percent of people don't know where their tap water comes from. (This doesn't include people with private wells). The entire concept is so much more complicated than you can imagine, and I may just be able to educate you all a little bit on the subject.
Water isn't just coming from your local stream or river. Take California as an example. Across the state, tap water comes from places that span over 150 million acres, from Wyoming to places within the California's own borders. It comes from lakes, streams, and even glaciers. It's important to understand the map of your tap water source because the quality of water to a great degree depends upon the land around it. While I'd like to explain that process to you here, I think this video of a third grader explaining it is much cuter, and no less informative.
The Nature Conservancy has mapped where water sources are around the world, so you can find the area where you live and then find where your water is coming from. Again using California as the example, what the Conservancy found is that only 16% of the water source area is highly protected and surrounded by national parks or wilderness areas. A staggering 84% of California's drinking water sources are potentially vulnerable, 51% is public land which is moderately protected. Public land where water comes from is used for other things, like logging, mining, and energy production. All of that activity increases the chances of source water contamination. If the source is on private land, the owner must adhere to local laws concerning water, but contamination risk also exists there.
We can safely agree then that protected water is found in areas where nature has safeguarded it, for lack of a better word, naturally. Urban development, inappropriate land management, and climate change all affect the quality of our drinking water. Of course, before any drinking water ever reaches you, it is going through quality control measuresat local water utilities. But if you take the time to learn where your drinking water comes from, you can help to better manage it, advocate for better protection, and keep everyone around you healthy.

iPhone & AirPods will require USB-C for charging in the EU by late 2024
Posted: June 7, 2022 10:46AM
in iPhone
The European Union has agreed on new rules adopting USB-C as a common charger, which may force Apple into using the connector instead of Lightning on iPhones by late 2024.
Announced on Tuesday by the Internal Market and Consumer Protection Committee, a deal has been reached on the creation of a common charger.
The intention is to increase device connectivity by having only one main connector used for chargers, instead of multiple different standards. The concept will also reduce e-waste, as using the same connector means one charger could be used for multiple devices.
The provisional agreement on an amended Radio Equipment Directive establishes the single charging solution for certain electronic devices. As well as mobile phones and tablets, it also covers e-readers, earbuds, digital cameras, headphones and headsets, handheld videogame consoles, and portable speakers.
All of those hardware types would need to use USB Type-C for charging, regardless of the manufacturer. Furthermore, notebooks will also need to be adapted to be compliant 40 months after the rules come into force.
It would also require the unbundling of the sale of chargers from the sale of the device, which is what Apple is doing now. There is also a harmonization of fast-charging technology as part of the deal, to further allow for charger-device compatibility.
The European Parliament and Council will have to formally approve the agreement after the summer recess, before it is published in the EU Official Journal. After that, the rules will come into force 20 days later, with provisions starting to apply 24 months later again.
Devices already on the market before the date the rules are applied won't be affected by the changes.
European Union officials have been working on the plan for a number of years, and while the EU formally proposed new legislation in January 2022, it required further backing. Internal Market and Consumer Protection Committee MEPs voted 43 to 2 in favor of the proposals in April.
When micro-USB was required, Apple got around the requirement by including an adapter in every iPhone box. It appears that the adapter approach has been prohibited in the new requirement.
In preparation for any rule changes, Apple has reportedly started to test USB-C in iPhones and new dongles, though a USB-C iPhone isn't expected until 2023.

It was available to purchase but it was never included in the box.
The EU's new rules are a win for Apple. They can move to USB-C (something I'm sure was already in the works) and have a scapegoat to blame when people inevitably complain.

Not in the box. Never a requirement. No they didn't.

By 2024 most phones will not have ports so the EU's effect will be nil.

I've got Apple documentation that says that they did, and that is my recollection based on briefs that I gave way back then, but it was a long time ago.
I'll look into further it a bit later in the day.

Does anyone get the thinking behind the design of Microsoft Surface charging connectors? Very strange design
KBuffett said:
The Surface Connect port? It's zero-insertion force magnetic and handles high bandwidth data as well as power delivery. I don't know of any other common port that does all of those, so assume the slightly odd design is to facilitate that. A shame it's proprietary, but it's pretty neat, probably the best thing about the Surface.
Yes, that's the one. If I recall correctly, the charger only has four pins, surely that's achievable with a far more compact design.
It's probably around 2cm long, it seems like a bad design to me (performance excluded)
mfryd Posts: 168member
If you read the actual EU rule, it only applies to phones that use wired charging. Phones without wired charging are exempt.
Apple's current iPhone 13 can meet the new spec with a software update. All Apple has to do is to disable charging via the lightning port. If the lighting port is only for communication, and not for charging, it doesn't have to be USB-C. That leaves only wireless charging for EU market iPhones.
When it comes to the law, one should be wary of relying on media summaries as to what the rules actually say.

The beauty of these regulations is that
they make future innovations like Magsav (like those on Macs, a wired connector)
illegal.

So wait, somebody has already developed a connector/port/interface that might be better than USB C but will not be able to sell it in Europe soon?
kaiserx Posts: 4member
Apple should go with the USB-C to iPhone, but then make the connector to the puck proprietary 😝
mike1 said:
The Surface is not a phone, and it can charge using USB-C anyway.
ITGUYINSD Posts: 446member
This is good in that it will accelerate the development of even better (i.e., faster and more power) USB-C chargers and cables. As it is now, PD charging standard goes to 100W. Some more powerful laptops need 130W or even 230W and require a proprietary USB-C charger as the PD standard does not go that high.
This might spur the ratification of better PD charging limits and over time, prices will come down as supply increases.
I see it as a win-win.
ITGUYINSD said:
USB4 supports up to 240W.

I have attached the June 2020 fact sheet for the EU announcement.
Apple has been part of the USB-IF since it was formed and I presume it hasn't always gotten its way, but it will adapt. Other OEMs are going to have to make bigger changes such as adding USB PD along with or in place of QC to their devices sold in the EU.
The bottom line is that it's win win for all of us.

I honestly don't care what kind of cable is included as long as it works.
I live in the UK and have owned every generation of iPhone since the 3GS. Like the rest of the world, a 3.5mm adapter has sometimes been bundled but never a microUSB adapter.

You can use the same tools to query dedicated or serverless pools, for example, invoke-sqlcmd with PowerShell, even sqlcmd. See also Connection strings for Synapse SQL.

As for azure cli, see az synapse and for powershell, see Az.Synapse.

A: The best solution I found was to add a whole Azure AD group as a user on the database manually, then for each new user I'm creating, I automate their addition to the group with some basic Azure CLI commands on a DevOps pipeline rather than try with a SQL Script that adds them individually.

Dr. Norman S. Simmons '32
Dr. Norman Simmons (May 28, 1915 – January 27, 2004), a UCLA professor emeritus of biophysics, nuclear medicine and oral medicine, was nominated in 1972 for a Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine for isolating a structurally pure form of desoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). This was the DNA which Rosalind Franklin used in her x-ray diffraction studies that rewarded Wilkens, Watson and Crick with the Nobel Prize for their three-dimensional construction of the DNA molecule. Professor Wilkens stated at that time "I wish to thank Norman Simmons for having refined techniques of isolating DNA, and thereby helping a great many workers including ourselves".
He was a world-renowned leader of biomedical research from the time he was appointed to the Department of Nuclear Medicine and Biophysics at UCLA in 1950. Dr. Simmons came from the University of Rochester with Dr. Stafford Warren when he was appointed as the first dean of the then-developing UCLA School of Medicine.
Dr. Simmons was born in New York City, May 28, 1915. He graduated with a B.S. from City College of New York in 1935, a D.M.D., magna cum laude in 1939 from Harvard University, and a Ph.D. from the Department of Experimental Pathology at Rochester University in 1950, writing a dissertation entitled "Investigation of Submaxillary Mucoid and the Defense Mechanisms of the Mouth." This work was considered truly innovative and novel. It was followed by his DNA purification studies that set a world standard for DNA investigations. Later, he turned to study the RNA and the virus structure of the Tobacco Mosaic Virus, which led to important discoveries of virus structure.
At UCLA, Dr. Simmons was jointly appointed as a professor of biophysics and nuclear medicine in the UCLA Medical School, and oral medicine in the UCLA Dental School. He played a significant role in the early development of the UCLA Dental School. He was in fact appointed to the UCLA Dental faculty in 1964, when the dental school was first initiated, and was instrumental in helping attract Dr. Reidar Sognnaes from Harvard as the founding Dean. While at the UCLA School of Dentistry, his study of why organic substructure disappears when the enamel of teeth mineralizes solved a long-standing scientific mystery.
His life-long work in structural analysis was called "profound, widespread and continuing in providing a stimulus and methodology for the direct investigation and understanding of structure-function relationships in macro-molecules of great bio-medical interest."
He was a culture-eclectic throughout his life as a sculptor, painter, actor and musician. Many of his students and colleagues well remember the evenings in the lounge of the Westwood Marquis Hotel when Norm Simmons would play the piano, not for money, but for everyone's enjoyment, especially his own. He became a professor emeritus on December 29, 1978 after an exceptional career in science and academics.

Adverse drug events (ADEs) are a common cause of patient morbidity and mortality and are classically thought to result, in part, from variation in expression and activity of hepatic enzymes of drug metabolism. It is now known that alterations in the expression of genes that encode drug- and bile-acid–transporter proteins in both the gut and liver play a previously unrecognized role in determining patient drug response and eventual clinical outcome. Four nuclear receptor (NR) superfamily members, including pregnane X receptor (PXR, NR1I2), constitutive androstane receptor (NR1I3), farnesoid X receptor (NR1H4), and vitamin D receptor (NR1I1), play pivotal roles in drug- and bile-acid– activated programs of gene expression to coordinately regulate drug- and bile-acid transport activity in the intestine and liver. This review focuses on the NR-mediated gene activation of drug and bile-acid transporters in these tissues as well as the possible underlying molecular mechanisms.

Northern Edge
ATAC recently supported Exercise NORTHERN EDGE 2015 from Joint Base Elmendorf – Richardson in Anchorage, Alaska from 9 JUN – 27 JUN. Exercise NORTHERN EDGE is Alaska's premier military joint training exercise, including over 150 aircraft and multiple ships at sea. This year's exercise focused on advanced employment of US tactics as well as the research and development of cutting edge technologies in a robust threat environment.
Alaskan Command's (ALCOM) expansive training ranges facilitated the exercise to be conducted in the most realistic environment possible. NORTHERN EDGE operations were conducted within the Joint Pacific Alaska Range Complex, which includes more than 60,000 square miles (155,399.29 square kilometers) of air space, and the Gulf of Alaska, which encompasses 50,000 square miles (129,499.40 square kilometers) of air and sea space. The vast range expanses allowed friendly and simulated enemy forces (including ATAC) to perform their mission relatively unconstrained, most closely simulating actual combat.
ATAC's support for NORTHERN EDGE was challenged on several fronts, but the ATAC team performed flawlessly. ATAC's maintenance and pilot cadres put in long hours supporting the aggressive flying schedule. Buoyed by almost twenty hours of sunlight daily, ATAC's personnel often had to keep a close eye on maintenance and pilot crew days as it was extremely easy to lose track of how late in the day it became. As always though, ATAC's maintenance professionals performed flawlessly, resolving several challenging and time-constrained discrepancies.
The ATAC team's hard work paid off as the detachment flew over 160 hours and 90 sorties in just twelve fly days. West Coast Deputy Director of Operations, Kurt McClung summed up the detachment by saying, "We received unbelievably positive reviews from our Air Force and Navy brethren. As usual, the ATAC maintenance professionals did a fantastic job keeping the jets up." ATAC's support to NORTHERN EDGE 2015 was yet another example of why ATAC is the best in the business of training today's warfighters for tomorrow's challenges.

Solving a mystery?
April 20, 2016 American History, Collections, Family StoriesA Genealogist's Diary, Brick Walls, Critical Analysis, Family papers, Object Lessons, PhotographsScott C. Steward
I have written several blog posts on the contents of my grandfather's box of family papers, but even this seemingly inexhaustible resource must eventually run dry. I don't think I'm quite there, yet, although it's true that I am reaching the tail end of the easily identified documents and photographs. Now for one or two remaining mysteries.
My Steward great-great-grandparents lived in Manhattan and in Goshen, New York. I've written about their city and country lives, and, as much as I could, about the servants who formed part of the family in Goshen. (It's not clear to me whether or not the Goshen staff moved into the city for fall, winter, and spring.)
It's obvious that my great-grandfather, Campbell Steward, was close to the Goshen servants: see, for instance, Sylvester Jarvis's letter to him dated in January 1871. Other group photos, including the one above (about which I've also written here), show the Stewards and their servants in formal intimacy.
In the above photo, someone has identified Mary Jarvis at left and Charles O'Fake, standing, third from left. Among the loose photos in my grandfather's iron box are two, otherwise unidentified as to subject: I think they show Mary and Charles.
If so, these images speak to a relationship stretching through my great-grandfather's lifetime (he died in 1936, aged 84) and then my grandfather's, too. As impressive, perhaps, as the contents of this box have been, they actually represent an easily portable — and small — proportion of the family portraits, books, papers, and other objects my Steward forebears once possessed, both in Goshen and in New York, and are all the more precious for that.
Continued here.

I just wanted to say thank you for your Blog. I read them and even print them off for a binders to use for future references.
Old photographs present–and solve–mysteries! Our genealogy group in Maine is doing a project this summer on the inter-use of photography and genealogy. Like Mr. Steward, we have been very interested in what each can tell us about the other!

Two things that Floridians count on in June are hot weather and Father's Day. This year, why not celebrate your dad with something that will help him stay cooler all summer?
If the HVAC system in his home is compatible, why not bring it into the 21st century with a thermostat that gives him complete control over the HVAC system wherever he is. Some have features that indicate when it's time to change the air filter and schedule professional maintenance.
Some upgraded thermostats send out alerts when the system is malfunctioning. The U.S. Department of Energy has found that using Wi-Fi and programmable thermostats saves measurable amounts of energy because they make it easy to adjust the temperatures based on home occupancy.
Cooling and heating systems are complicated appliances that need tuning up at least once a year. The gift of system maintenance translates to lower energy bills, more dependable cooling and a longer lifetime for the components.
If your dad hasn't had his serviced in a while, ask the contractor to conduct a thorough inspection, including ductwork testing for leaks and cleanliness. They may be leaking cooled air, which wastes energy. If they're dirty, the indoor air quality will suffer.
A deciduous tree not only adds beauty to the yard, it will also cool a hot, sunny wall in the spring and summer. Deciduous trees and shrubs lose their leaves in the fall, which makes them an ideal Fathers Day gift for saving energy and adding home value. Some nurseries will plant the tree as part of the purchase.
These fans employ relatively new technology, run extremely quietly and use little electricity. They move plenty of air without having a big footprint in the home. Such a fan will cool anyone who can feel the air they circulate.
Contact Rinaldi's Energy Solutions to schedule services to help your dad enjoy more comfort and lower energy bills for Father's Day. We provide HVAC services for Orlando-area homeowners.

Requirements for policy languages for trust negotiation
K. E. Seamons, M. Winslett, Ting Yu, B. Smith, E. Child, J. Jacobson, H. Mills, Lina Yu
In open systems like the Internet, traditional approaches to security based on identity do not provide a solution to the problem of establishing trust between strangers, because strangers do not share the same security domain. A new approach to establishing trust between strangers is trust negotiation, the bilateral exchange of digital credentials describing attributes of the negotiation participants. This approach relies on access control policies that govern access to protected resources by specifying credential combinations that must be submitted to obtain authorization. We describe a model for trust negotiation, focusing on the central role of policies. We delineate requirements for policy languages and runtime systems for trust negotiation, and evaluate four existing policy languages for trust management with respect to those requirements. We conclude with recommendations for extending existing policy languages or developing new policy languages to make them suitable for use in future trust negotiation systems.

Two old Jewish men from New York, Sid and Abe, are sitting in a Mexican restaurant while their wives are out shopping. Sid asks Abe, "Do you know if any people of our ancestry were ever born and raised in Mexico?" Abe replies, "I don't know, let's ask our waiter." When the waiter arrives, Abe asks, "Are there any Mexican Jews?" The waiter says, "I don't know senor, I ask the cooks." "He returns from the kitchen after a few minutes and says, "No senor, the cook say no Mexican Jews." Abe isn't satisfied and asks, "Are you absolutely sure?" The waiter, realizing he is dealing with "Gringos" replies, "I check once again, senor," and goes back into the kitchen. While the waiter is away, Sid says, "I find it hard to believe that there are no Jews in Mexico. Our people are scattered everywhere." The waiter returns and says, "Senor, the head cook Manuel, he say there is no Mexican Jews." "Are you certain?" Abe asks again. "I just can't believe there are no Mexican Jews!" "Senor, I ask EVERYONE," replies the exasperated waiter. "All we have is Orange Jews, Grape Jews, Prune Jews, but no Mexican Jews." Communication is a wonderful thing. Sometimes we think we get what is being said, but then at the end we realize we did not. That is what happens in the parable that Jesus tells in today's gospel. The chief priests and elders think they are getting what Jesus is saying, but then at the end realize what they were thinking was not what he was really saying.
We are still in the temple the morning after Jesus had kicked out the money changers and sellers of animals. Jesus has just made the chief priests and elders look pretty bad. We talked about the parable of the two sons last week. As soon as he finishes Jesus says, "Listen to another parable." And because of the power of his personality, his personal magnetism everyone is drawn into the story.
The situation of an absentee landowner was not unusual. In fact, the odds were that the chief priests and the elders of the people were owners of some sort of farm land in this manner. Jesus points out that the landowner in this story went to very expensive lengths for his vineyard. He put in a fence, dug a wine press and put up a tower. Then he hired some local guys to take care of it and tend it and he left the area and went back to another country. He may have purchased his property in Galilee and then gone back to Jerusalem, which would fit the parameters. As was the custom, the owner would either return in person but most likely send some servant to pick up his percent of the profits or perhaps the produce. But what happens? To the horror of the chief priests and elders, all of whom are wealthy, the tenants of this vineyard have rebelled and they refuse to hand over the landowner's rightful share. This happens not just once but a number of times. Then, relying on his status he sends his son. He knows that those lowborn, peasants wouldn't dare to disregard his son. Well, in the story they do and they do not simply disregard his son, they murder him. So Jesus asks his audience, what will happen now? The chief priests and elders know what is going to happen because they know exactly what would happen if this situation were real. Those tenants would be put to death. They wouldn't just die; they would be given much painful punishment as possible and then killed. These rebellious tenants had crossed the line; they had crossed the line big time. And they were would die horribly and then the landowner would get some people he could count on. He would find dependable stewards. Everyone in the audience is right with Jesus now.
The stone that the builders rejected… Jesus moves from a vineyard to a building. When Solomon built the temple, he did not allow any hammers or chisels to be used in the area where the temple was being constructed. So those huge quarried blocks of stone would have to be cut very precisely but cut in the area around the quarry and then brought by the sweat and muscle of humans and animals to Jerusalem to be fitted into where they were supposed to go. The blocks of stone used for building the temple were huge. The corner stones would be even larger because they spanned the depth of two walls and bore the heaviest weight. It is estimated that the corner stones in Solomon's temple were around 20 feet long and 7 feet thick. How many tons those blocks would weigh, I don't know, but certainly many tons. The story Jesus refers to went as follows: the chief cornerstone had been cut and then sent but the men constructing the temple didn't recognize what it was, so they thought it was a mistake and had it pushed into the Kidron Valley, into the dump outside Jerusalem's walls! Later on when they needed the cornerstone they sent word to the quarry and said, "We need that cornerstone where is it?" The foreman at the quarry told them that it had been sent long ago. It was then they realized they had thrown away the most important stone and they had to go down to the dump and wrestle it out of the valley and put it into place where it fit perfectly.
Jesus tells the chief priest and elders, "I am that chief cornerstone that you are rejecting. Because you have been like the tenant farmers you will be replaced. You have betrayed your trust. God is going to give this authority to others. Jesus' prophecy came true! The entire Sanhedrin was either destroyed or dispersed as a cloud of dust after the Jewish wars in 70 AD just 30 some years after Jesus spoke these words.
So does this parable apply to us today? As in every parable we need to see who we are in this parable. We tend to relate to the landowner because we see the injustice of how he was treated, just like the chief priests, elders and the crowd did so many years ago. But in the parable the landowner is God. We certainly are not God. We are the ones who are here to work in God's vineyard, that is, to do God's work. We also are the tenants; we are the stewards!
Now the question is what kind of tenants or stewards are we? Are we doing what God wants us to do with what God has entrusted to us? Or are we trying to hang on to what he has given us and not return his portion? As stewards we have two responsibilities. We are to use wisely what God has given to us; this means to serve him with our time and talents. And then we are to return a portion of the produce. Now in the days of Jesus, the land owner would take 80 to 90 percent of the produce and the tenants would live off of the rest. In our case it is just the opposite. He gives us 90 percent to live off of and we are to return to him 10 percent.
We are beginning our Stewardship campaign at St. Andrew's this week. We go through October and then on the last Sunday of October we have our grand stewardship dinner in celebration. Most of you have received a letter from me this week. In the letter is enclosed a pledge card for you to review and pray about. And you can bring your pledge card and turn it in any time this month. And on the 29th we will ask God's blessing on the pledges and those who have pledged. As I said in the letter being able to give your money back to God is a spiritual issue. Being able to give time to serve God is also a spiritual issue. Please pray about both! Let's not be like the unfaithful tenants in the parable but let us be faithful stewards of all that God has given us!

I have had my fair share of setbacks during my hair journey. It's like you make so much progress, then BAM! You have to redesign your regimen to accompany the damage.
My current setback is at the crown of my head. There is some major breakage going on there *Sheds tear*. Here is the 5 step plan I have used to help make a come back from setbacks in the past.
First things first. Stop the denial! "Oh it's just a couple of strands" turns into waking up one day asking "What the heck happened".
Trust me, and learn from my mistakes. When you first see the problem happening, take action. I did not pay special attention to breakage until it was very noticeable. Embarrassing actually. Once I got out of the denial stage, I decided it was time to find out what to do next.
This step can be quite difficult. As the sources of breakage can come from many places. At first, I thought it was a moisture problem.
All my hair gets the same moisture treatment, and the rest of it was not breaking off, so I figured it was worth a shot. I upped my moisturizing and sealing to twice a day and still nothing. Next thing to try on my list was JBCO. I oiled that area of my scalp every morning.
Finally, I saw progress! YES! However, as fast as it was repairing itself, the faster it began to break off. At this point I'm running out of ideas. I thought I was doing everything right. I recalled writing my previous article on 5 Ways You Are Damaging Your Hair.
Still nothing rang a bell. Then I realized what it was finally. It was the way I was wearing my hair! I kept my hair parted the same exact way for over a year. I noticed one side thinning and thought nothing of it. I realized I did not have this problem until this style became a consistent part of my regimen.
After I found the real cause of my breakage I had to come up with a new plan. A new hairstyle was definitely in order. My new hairstyle of choice: A simple african threaded bun pulled back. No more parting. My hair needs a break.
A new style, check! I planned to keep the JBCO in my regimen because, well it was not doing any harm and did seem to do some good the first go around.

Q: Android listview row pressed animation In my app, I have a custom listview. User can press a row of the listview and then another activity(detail of row)  becomes visible. My question is, After user click, I want to show an click animation to the button before detailed activity becomes visible (note this state is not 'pressed state', is 'after pressed'). At first, I thought I could make this by selectors. But as far as I know, selectors can animate at pressed, focused states. After hands-off, click animaton becomes invisible. But I need a click animation through the transition.
How can I do this ?
Thanks in advance..

A: I don't know if there's an easier way to do this, but this is what I would do. For your ListView, set it an onItemClickListener like this:
listView.setOnItemClickListener(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {
        view.startAnimation(animation);
        // do everything else when the user clicks on an item
}

And for the object animation, design it in XML, and turn it into an Animation object like this:
Animation animation = AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(context, R.anim.animation);
