Q: R: Error in install.packages : cannot open the connection I was trying to install the package RINDSEL but I am unable to install it and I keep getting the following error:

Error in install.packages : cannot open the connection

I downloaded the package from:
rindsel_1.0_2.zip | Integrated Breeding Platform
and loaded it from the directory. Other packages from the directory can be installed but just not this one.
Is the package corrupt or could there be any other error?
I would really be grateful for any help. Thanks in advance

A: Rename the zip file RinSel Software into Rindsel. That's the name specified in the discription file.
Then, you can install the package in R with the command
install.packages("C:/path/to/Rindsel.zip",repos=NULL,type="win.binary")

That works fine... at first (!!!).
Problem with the Rindsel package is. It is quite old. It was build with R 2.13.1. Therefore, if you want to load the library which would be the next step to use the package in R you will get the error:
Problems building package (Error: "package has been build before R-3.0.0")

My suggestion: Contact the authors of the package and ask them if they can either provide the source file that you can build the package by yourself or if they can bundle the Rindsel package with a newer R version.
(Or you could try to hunt down an old R version and see if you can get the thing running with an old R... However, I would not seriously suggest to do that. It would probably result in conflicting dependencies with the other required packages...)
EDIT 15-02-2018: OP asked if one can build an R package with sources that are presumeably the Rindsel source files.
Yes, basically, you could do that. You would have to make a your own description and namespace file and put the source file in the R folder than invoke the command in R to build it....
But it's not neccessary with the script files provided by the link the OP posted.
OP, just run the scripts in R! It's quite easy.

*

*Download the zip-file and extract it on your machine.

*Go to that directory. The R command would be

setwd('path/to/your/directory')

*Than run the R script, e.g, the KNIndex.r. It's simple:

source('KNIndex.r')

Then the script will run and produce some output / prompts.

A: For future readers,
I was able to fix the error by running RStudio with administrative privileges to get the command to work.
If that does not fix it, you might wish to try

*

*Installing "r tools" if that is not installed already. That can be downloaded from
https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/Rtools/

*Download a relevant package that you are trying to install (e.g., tidyverse_1.3.0.zip) from https://cran.rstudio.com/

*and install that from local path

*It can also be installed directly from the web using install.packages("https://cran.rstudio.com/bin/windows/contrib/4.0/tidyverse_1.3.0.zip")

A: I had the same problem. R was not able to extract and compile the package files to the default installation directory for some system-specific reasons (not R related).
I was able to fix this by specifying the installation directory of the package lib using:
install.packages("your package", lib = 'path/to your/required/installation/directory')

You can then load the package by specifying the lib.loc option while loading it:
library('your package', lib.loc='path/to your/required/installation/directory')

A better solution:
Create a new environment variable (if you are using windows) R_LIBS_USER with the following directory path/to your/required/installation/directory.
This will change the default installation directory of the packages and make it easier to load and install them without specifying the location everytime.

Q: Filter Query to List Resources based on Tags Field Conditions. Filter Query for Many-to-Many SQL Relation Tables
Writing query to filter list of Resources based on multiple tags field conditions as per example: WHERE tag_name != fabric or tag_name = user.
Basically, I have list of resources which assigned with multiple tags{name:value}. Need a way to query filter list of resources based on tags fields {name & value} with various operations like equal & not equal values.
Three Tables:

*

*Resource Table: Res_ID, Res_Name

*Tag Table: Tag_ID, Tag_Name, Tag_Value

*Ref_Res_Tag: Res_ID, Tag_ID

Queries which I've came up with:
Query 1:
SELECT "sample_t"."name", "tag_t"."tag_name" from "sample" as sample_t
LEFT JOIN "ref_sample_tag" as ref_sample_tag_t on "ref_sample_tag_t"."from" = "sample_t"."uuid"
LEFT JOIN "tag" as tag_t on "tag_t"."uuid" = "ref_sample_tag_t"."to"
WHERE ("tag_t"."tag_name" != 'fabric');

Problem with Q1: This query is returning Sample1, Sample2 for above query.
Expectation: {Empty} : Result should be empty as all resources are tagged to fabric.
Query 2:
SELECT "sample_t"."name" FROM "sample" as sample_t
WHERE sample_t.uuid NOT IN
         (SELECT ref_sample_tag.FROM from ref_sample_tag
          LEFT JOIN tag AS tag_t ON ref_sample_tag.to = tag_t.uuid WHERE tag_t.tag_name = 'fabric')

Result: {} : No Resource as all tagged to fabric. Expected Result.
Problem: How to use multiple different tag field conditions, like ((tag_name != 'fabric') or (tag_name = 'user'))
Please let me know for more details required.

A: Based on extra data provided I think this should work
SELECT * FROM "sample" as sample_result
WHERE NOT EXISTS
(

SELECT 1
    from "sample" as sample_t
    INNER JOIN "ref_sample_tag" as ref_sample_tag_t
          on "ref_sample_tag_t"."from" = "sample_t"."uuid"
    INNER JOIN "tag" as tag_t
           on "tag_t"."uuid" = "ref_sample_tag_t"."to"
    WHERE ("tag_t"."tag_name" = 'name')
    AND  "sample_t"."uuid" ="sample_result"."uuid"
)
AND EXISTS
(

SELECT 1
    from "sample" as sample_t
    INNER JOIN "ref_sample_tag" as ref_sample_tag_t
          on "ref_sample_tag_t"."from" = "sample_t"."uuid"
    INNER JOIN "tag" as tag_t
           on "tag_t"."uuid" = "ref_sample_tag_t"."to"
    WHERE ("tag_t"."tag_name" = 'fabric')
    AND  "sample_t"."uuid" ="sample_result"."uuid"
)

;

A: I think in Postgres it's easier to aggregate the tags into an array, then apply the condition on the array:
So query 1 would be:
select *
from (
  select r.res_id, r.res_name,
         array_agg(distinct t.tag_name) as tags
  from resource r
    join ref_res_tag rrt on rrt.res_id = r.res_id
    join tag t on t.tag_id = rrt.tag_id
  group by r.res_id, r.res_name
) t
where 'fabric' <> all(tags)

For query 2, you can just add:
   or 'user' = any(tags);

If you need to query for the tag name and tag value, you can aggregate the tags into JSON arrays, then use the JSON operators, e.g. to find all resources that have "fabric: one":
select *
from (
  select r.res_id, r.res_name,
         jsonb_agg(jsonb_build_object(t.tag_name, t.tag_value)) as tags
  from resource r
    join ref_res_tag rrt on rrt.res_id = r.res_id
    join tag t on t.tag_id = rrt.tag_id
  group by r.res_id, r.res_name
) t
where tags @> '[{"fabric": "one"}]';

That would also return resource that have e.g. fabric two as well.
To get those that only have fabric one, you need to filter during aggregation and use an equality in the final WHERE clause:
select *
from (
  select r.res_id, r.res_name,
         jsonb_agg(jsonb_build_object(t.tag_name, t.tag_value)) as tags
  from resource r
    join ref_res_tag rrt on rrt.res_id = r.res_id
    join tag t on t.tag_id = rrt.tag_id
  where t.tag_name = 'fabric'
  group by r.res_id, r.res_name
) t
where tags = '[{"fabric": "one"}]';

Stevo Timothy Farmer Michael sets up GoFundMe taking on 'biggest battle of life'
He confirmed the news first to his massive legion of fans
Sir Stevo Timothy is bidding to walk unaided once more (Image: Sir Stevo Timothy)
Well-known Galway comedian Stevo Timothy is set to make a major bid to walk unaided once more after over 15 years using a wheelchair.
Stevo suffered from incomplete paraplegia from the chest down following a motorcycle accident in 2005 where another man, a good friend of his, sadly died.
The 38-year-old, who shot to internet stardom as a result of his hilarious 'Farmer Michael' comedy sketches, is now making his most serious bid to rid himself of the wheelchair for good since sustaining his injury, and revealed to his 60,000 Twitter followers that he will head to Limerick on Friday to undergo a series of scans to determine the extent to which he can realistically recover.
Speaking about the road ahead, Stevo described it as the "biggest battle of his life".
He said: "This Friday I start possibly the biggest battle of my life; the battle to walk again. I'm heading to Limerick for a full set of scans and tests to basically tell me what I can realistically hope to achieve.
"I'm obviously hoping that I'll get the go ahead to start intensive physio almost immediately and then the challenge will begin. I've got offers from all over the world to assist in this endeavour and I've snatched them with both hands.
The funnyman revealed plans to make a documentary on his recovery journey, and expressed his hope that he can get it on television, setting up a GoFundMe to achieve this.
He said that by getting his endeavour broadcast to a wider audience he hopes he can inspire others in similar situations to his own.

He added: "We hope to film all of this and get a documentary up and running and hopefully get it on TV. I've set up a GoFundMe to try to achieve this and if you can help I'd be honoured.We hope this documentary can help to inspire others who are going through something similar."
The Galway man has been open about his role in the fatal accident that left him seriously injured and his struggles with alcoholism in the past.

The comedian was under the influence of alcohol during the crash, and received a lengthy driving ban as a result.
In February last year spoke about the incident on The Late Late Show, and has continued to use his platform to raise awareness for issues relating to alcoholism.
Speaking on The Late Late Show last year, the comedian said: "It was an escape for me. From an early age I've suffered from anxiety, not really depression, not much at that time but it was more so anxiety. So for me to be drunk, I felt what I perceived other people to feel.

"I was able to go into a shop and not have to look for the escape route in case I had a panic attack.
"I could go into town and walk around and feel normal, what I felt other people's lives to be like."
"Even to this day I find it hard to understand that a person could get a taxi into town, and leave that taxi and not be worrying.
"I have to be parked very close to an exit, I have to be able to see the car in eye view to know that I can escape if I have a panic attack.
He added: "[The alcohol] made it disappear, but it increased it in the long run.
"It was a magic cape for that night until you wake up the next morning shaking, DTs and whatever else."

Maryam Nawaz terms Khawaja Asif disqualification 'fixed match'
Mahmood Idrees
03:03 PM | 26 Apr, 2018
ISLAMABAD - Minutes after Pakistan's Foreign Minister Khawaja Asif was disqualified on Thursday, Maryam Nawaz, daughter of former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, decried the ruling of the Islamabad High Court.
The leader of the embattled Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) took to Twitter, saying: "Whoever you are certain you cannot defeat in elections, you get them disqualified through a fixed match". She added that the public will "now even vote for Asif's shadow".
جسکا ووٹ کے میدان میں مقابلہ نہیں کر سکتےاسکو فکسڈ میچ میں نا اہل کرا دو مگر یاد رکھو! عوام اب خواجہ آصف کے سائے کو بھی ووٹ دےگی انشاءالّلہ

The Islamabad High Court dealt another blow to the ruling Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz after it disqualified the country's Foreign Minister for life in the disqualification case on Thursday.
Khawaja Asif, who is a central leader of PML-N and had contested elections from Sialkot in 2013 was declared ineligible unanimously for holding office on account of Article 62 (1)(f) of the constitution in a case related to his foreign permit (iqama).

Posted by Bram Teitelman on February 7, 2019
By the very nature of its subject, Jonas Akerlund's Lords of Chaos isn't for everybody. Specifically, the black metal subculture by nature, is exclusionary and underground, so trve kvlt grim metalheads (including those that the film was based on) wrote it off as blasphemy before filming even began. Likewise, many mainstream cinema fans may not be interested just based on the fact that it's about a genre that they might find too hard to take. However, as a film based on the 1997 book of the same name centered around the Norwegian black metal scene of the early '90s, it's an unflinching look at rivalry, insecurity, and kids doing dumb shit that succeeds on its own as a film.
Any metalhead worth their salt has read Lords of Chaos: The Bloody Rise of the Satanic Underground. Many others grew up knowing about a slate of church burnings in Norway that were eventually traced back to black metal bands, including Mayhem and Emperor. Black Metal was still in its infancy stages at the time, but Mayhem helped kickstart the genre, and by the end of the book (and film), metal had their own lurid version of the east coast/west coast rap battle that would take place several years later.
Narrated by Mayhem guitarist Euronymous (Rory Culkin), Lords starts out like many a biopic – a kid in a suburban house with a loving family forming a band and claiming he's going to make it. Things of course get kicked up a notch when Pelle "Dead" Ohlin (Jack Kilmer) joins the band. His propensity for huffing dead animals out of bags, cutting himself onstage, burying his stage clothes so they'll smell more earthy and throwing dead animals into the crowd helps make the band famous. Obviously, things don't work out well for him, and it's what happens after his untimely passing that's really the focus of the story.
While many films would go out of their way to wallow in cliches about metal, they're sparingly done here. In fact, the footage that Metallica used from the film in their "ManUnkind" video is probably about a third of the "performance" footage. Indeed, what makes the film success is that it's more about human nature than anything else. Of course Euronymous knows that he can help the legend of Mayhem grow by glorifying Dead's suicide. And damned if Varg Vikernes (Emory Cohen) being mocked by Euronymous for the Scorpions patch on his jean jacket doesn't fuel his anger and make him try even harder to fit in. The film plays off of Euronymous and Varg's relationship, with their one-upmanship leading to church burnings and eventually, murder. Vikernes, of course, is the villain of the film, and Cohen does a great job of portraying someone as a creepy outsider that goes increasingly off the rails as the film continues.
Akerlund does an admirable job of not romanticizing any of what happened. Lords is plenty violent, with the camera lingering on stabbing and self-immolation. But it doesn't make suicide or murder look cool or fun, like the horror movies its protagonists continually watch does. (Actually, the church-burnings look pretty rad, but not enough to start a copycat trend like it did 27 years ago).
While it was initially thought that Mayhem's music wouldn't be featured in the film, there are a handful of tracks featured throughout, which means that even if Varg is on record (deservedly) for hating the film, someone in the Mayhem camp signed off on their music. Elsewhere Akerlund's old band Bathory has some songs in the film, along with tracks from Dio, Sodom, and Tormentor, among others. While Sigur Ros signing on to score the film raised eyebrows, their post-rock doesn't detract from the film either.
From the beginning of the film, which claims that it's based on "truth… lies… and what actually happened," you know you're not getting a 100% true-to-life depiction of the time, but every biopic from Bohemian Rhapsody to Walk the Line takes liberties with actual events in order to make a more compelling story. And while Akerlund didn't have a bird's eye view of the story as it actually happened, his time in fellow black metal band Bathory in nearby Sweden likely informed some of the choices he made in directing. As it is, we see Norway looking like a nice country with middle class suburbs as opposed to a grim, frostbitten snowscape. And while we don't really get much deeper into Euronymous, Dead, Varg and Faust's motivations than desire to shock, or perhaps boredom, perhaps that's intentional. Ultimately, while not vital, Lords of Chaos is still a compelling film worth watching.
Lords of Chaos opens in select theaters Friday, February 8th. It will be available on Blu-Ray and DVD on February 22nd.

Morph Age is an application for morphing/warping images and movies on Mac OS X, such as faces, and save the result to a QuickTime movie. Morph Age works by allowing you to define curves on one or more images. Any change made on the curves is reflected on the resulting image through the corresponding distortion and morphing effect. Morph Age can also work from QuickTime movies as curves can be animated with key-framed motion. One talking face can be morphed into another talking face as they are talking!
Hit play, Morph Age renders in real-time, whatever image size. Morph Age has an extremely fast rendering engine that combines CPU operations (optimized for Intel Macs) and GPU, or graphics card, power. It enables real-time rendering on mega pixel images still being accurate to sub-pixel. Moreover, the latest version of Morph Age even added support for the Core Image library of Mac OS X for filtering, also executed on the graphics card for maximum performance.
Morph Age can animate warp curves independently, so that different parts of the image moves at different times (the eyes, then the ears, then the mouth…). Also, animation effects are available, such as springy motion. Morph Age shows the result in real time, so that you can quickly and easily prototype the transformation.
Morph Age has full support for zooming and scrolling capabilities. Morph Age offers subpixel accuracy, zooming allows precise curve placement. This permits fine-tuning of the curves that define the transformation, thus avoiding the "ghost" effect typical of morphing applications. Curve fine-tuning is seen in real-time in the interactive preview panel.
Morph Age uses advanced GPU rendering techniques, allowing real-time preview even for mega-pixels images.
Click Play, and you see the morph/warp in real-time, whatever the image size. You can even move the curves that define the transformation while the animation is playing. This makes it convenient for iterative placement of curves as there is no lag in the render-cycle, making Morph Age well suited to easily and rapidly prototype the effect you want.

To deconstruct whiteness, Seattle journalist Marcus Harrison Green wrote a play
Written by Mónica Guzmán
Marcus Harrison Green
Our region has been having a lot more public conversations about race in the last few years. Black Lives Matter had a big rally Saturday, facilitators like Jasen Frelot are training families on how to tackle the issue, and productions like "Dear White People" are breaking open the topic onstage.
Now journalist Marcus Green is preparing his most ambitious contribution to the subject. It's not an article, though. It's a play.
"Caucasians Anonymous" is about people who struggle through what Marcus describes as an addiction to whiteness. And coming up at Town Hall Marcus will host a group of actors in a live reading of the play that will be followed by a Q&A with anti-racist white activists. (A live reading originally scheduled for Sunday, April 23, has been postponed. See note at the bottom of this post.)
This isn't a new topic for him, just a new medium. Marcus is the founder of the South Seattle Emerald, a news site launched in 2014 for one of the most racially diverse areas of our city.
Marcus wanted to write a play, he said, because fiction has a "huge power to transform" that traditional journalism doesn't.
Plus, there's this: "As much as we think we're this enlightened city, we can always do better," he said. "We can always do more."
Marcus got the idea for the play after a woman lost her patience with a panel discussion in Columbia City. The discussion followed a screening of the film "I Am Not Your Negro," a documentary that explores the history of racism. The woman, who was black, told the crowd, which was 40 percent people of color, that she was "tired of panels like this." White people, she said, should be talking to other white people about race.
So Marcus imagined a scenario in which a group of white people helped each other recover from an "addiction to whiteness." The name of the play, "Caucasians Anonymous," is meant to be analogous to Alcoholics Anonymous. Except in this version, Marcus likens an addiction to whiteness to an addiction to power.
"It's always hard to give up expectations afforded you if that means you're equal with everybody," he said.
The reading will last about 20-30 minutes. After that, trained facilitators will lead people through a discussion to explore their own assumptions and biases about whiteness and race. That's the part of the evening Marcus is most excited about.
"At the end of the day we're all in this country together," he said. "Hopefully people can come with an open mind and an open heart as well."
This "Scratch Night" reading of "Caucasians Anonymous" is a kind of workshop for the play. Marcus hopes to see the play produced onstage this fall.
Update: The "Caucasians Anonymous" reading was postponed from Sunday, April 23, to a future, unannounced date. We'll update again when it's back on the calendar.

La Província d'Aragó-Sant Rafael és una de les tres províncies eclesiàstiques amb les que es divideix organitzativament l'Orde Hospitalari de Sant Joan de Déu (OHSJD) a escala espanyola. Abasta les comunitats autònomes d'Aragó, Catalunya, Comunitat Valenciana, Illes Balears, regió de Múrcia i Navarra. Igual que les altres dues províncies estatals, la Bètica i la de Castella, la Província d'Aragó - Sant Rafael també té presència a la Comunitat de Madrid. A Extremadura, Aragó - Sant Rafael comparteix la gestió d'un centre conjuntament amb la Província Bètica. L'Orde Hospitalari de Sant Joan de Déu, d'acord amb la seva Carta d'Identitat, actua sota el concepte d'hospitalitat, a partir del qual es cuida l'acolliment, la promoció de la salut, l'acompanyament i el compromís amb les realitats més vulnerables de cada època i societat, des d'un concepte ampli d'universalitat.

Història de la Província
L'Orde Hospitalari de Sant Joan de Déu es basa en la tasca duta a terme per Sant Joan de Déu, que havia fundat un hospital a Granada en 1538-1539, revolucionari per a la seva època no només pel tracte i per la calor humana que els malalts rebien de Joan i els seus companys, sinó també pels criteris que introdueix, innovadors en aquella època, com és la superació en atenció al tipus de malaltia i en atenció a les mesures higièniques i de cures.

En els seus inicis, la família hospitalària no disposa de requisits documentals, actua sense regla ni legislació. Serà l'any 1571 quan el Pius V promulgui la butlla papal Licet ex debito a través de la qual reconeix la Congregació dels Germans de Joan de Déu. El 1586 el Papa Sixt V, mitjançant el breu Etsi pro debito, concedeix el grau d'orde als germans i es constitueix oficialment l'Orde Hospitalari dels Germans de Sant Joan de Déu. En el capítol general convocat immediatament després es designa l'hospital de San Giovanni Calibita (Roma) com a seu de l'orde i es decideix la divisió de la mateixa en dues províncies, Espanya i Itàlia, i és triat prior general el pare Pedro Soriano. Però el 1592, el pontífex Climent VIII suspèn la categoria d'orde i torna als Germans de Sant Joan de Déu a la seva situació legal anterior "per éser els afiliats a la institució persones de condició modesta i d'escassa cultura" A principis del  les congregacions hospitalàries d'Espanya i Itàlia adquireixen la categoria definitiva d'orde. Al final del  existeixen a la península Ibèrica quatre extenses províncies: Granada, Castella, Sevilla i Portugal, amb 75 hospitals, més de 2.000 llits i prop de 700 religiosos.

Però a Espanya el segle XIX serà funest per a la institució, iniciant un declivi absolut fins a la seva desaparició total. Les causes del descens són polítiques i comencen a principis de segle amb la Guerra del Francès i continuen amb un definitiu viratge cap al liberalisme anticlerical a partir de 1834 en plena regència de Maria Cristina, mare d'Isabel II d'Espanya. El 1836 el Govern expropia els béns pertanyents a les corporacions religioses i el 1850 mor l'últim prior general espanyol, el pare José Bueno. Així, al llarg dels seus gairebé cinc segles d'història, l'Orde Hospitalari ha estat suprimit per motius polítics i ha ressorgit en diverses ocasions. L'última restauració de l'orde a Espanya va ser a càrrec de sant Benedetto Menni, religiós hospitalari que va venir d'Itàlia enviat pel Papa Pius IX i el general de l'Orde Giovanni Maria Aliferi. Aquesta restauració comença amb la fundació del primer Hospital de Sant Joan de Déu a Barcelona l'any 1867 i li segueixen diversos centres dedicats al servei dels malalts mentals i nens amb discapacitats.

El 1934 l'orde gestiona més de vint hospitals i en menys de trenta anys compta amb prop de vuitanta centres a Espanya, Amèrica Llatina i Àfrica. La Província d'Aragó, dedicada a Sant Rafael Arcàngel, té una doble data de naixement: una antiga, el 1738, quan dirigeix 19 instituts amb 230 religiosos; i una recent el 1934 després d'un segle d'extinció. El 1934, Roma aprova, en el Capítol general, la Província d'Aragó i Amèrica Central de Sant Rafael Arcàngel. La divisió provincial és beneïda pel pontífex Pius XI. En aquesta segona restauració la província està composta pels asils-hospitals de Sant Joan de Déu de Barcelona i València, el sanatori psiquiàtric de Sant Boi de Llobregat, l'Instituto San José de Carabanchel Alto, els psiquiàtrics de Cholula i Zapopan (Mèxic) i els sanatoris de Calafell i Manresa. Amb el transcurs dels anys, l'Orde Hospitalari va assumint la gestió, participació o presència en nous centres per tota la geografia de la província. La divisió de la demarcació hispanoamericana en províncies obeeix a diferents raons, entre les quals la impossibilitat que un sol provincial la governés sol i el desig de restaurar les tres províncies històriques que havien existit a Espanya. La província d'Aragó tindrà capitalitat a Barcelona per la fundació de Benedetto Menni en els primers passos de la seva obra restauradora al . Centroamèrica se'n separà en 1994 com a nova província.

Progressive UNH Prof Gives Course Credit for Accusations of Racism
A UNH professor requires students to find someone to accuse of being racist, homophobic, or ableist and "call them out" in order to get credit for a communications class at the state-funded college.
Edward Reynolds, a communications professor and weight lifting coach, gained notoriety this week on social media when one of the requirements for his class hit the "Libs of TikTok" account.
According to the course work posted online, Reynolds requires his students to record the interaction they have with the person they are "calling out" for alleged bigotry and submit the recording in order to get graded.
Calling out, sometimes described as "calling in," is when someone is confronted over ideas or statements that are deemed politically incorrect. Reynolds, who graduated from college in Australia, instructed students, as part of their graded coursework, to seek out people in their lives who they deem are engaging in racism, homophobia, or ableism, through their language or actions.
"Call in someone on their ableist, racist, or homophobic use of language, for microaggressions (or an act of racism) towards a person of color, homophobia against LGBTQI+, or ableism against a disabled person," the course description states. "You must also record calling them in, in order to get credit."
The potential problems are self-evident: People targeted by Reynolds' students may object to being called racist or bigots. They might object to being recorded. There's even the risk of a physical confrontation.
Reynolds claims in the course description that the recordings and the names of the people "called out/called in" will not be made public. But neither Reynolds nor anyone from UNH answered New Hampshire Journal's questions about how that anonymity will be guaranteed.
Reynolds declined to respond to multiple requests for comments, as did the UNH media relations team. Representatives for the University System of New Hampshire declined to answer questions about Reynolds' coursework as well.
State Rep. Joe Alexander (R-Goffstown) called Reynolds' class a "witch-hunt."
"As far as I'm concerned the public has a right to know why tax dollars are being spent on student witch-hunts. Make no mistake, New Hampshire institutions of higher learning are not immune to the sort of 'woke-ness' that is prevalent in the swampiest parts of this country. The public needs answers," Alexander said.
Manchester's branch of the NAACP did not respond to questions on Thursday whether "calling out" furthers goals of reducing racism and fostering racial understanding. Former President Barak Obama recently pointed out that "call-outs" give the illusion of effecting change, even when that is not true.
"If I tweet or hashtag about how you didn't do something right, or used the wrong word or verb, then I can sit back and feel pretty good about myself, because, 'Man, you see how woke I was. I called you out.' That's not activism," Obama said.
Karoline Leavitt, a candidate in the GOP primary for the 1st District Congressional seat, said Thursday that Reynolds' course is a prime example of wokeism run amok.
"Let me be very clear – students should not be asked to accuse one another of racism," Leavitt said. "Unfortunately, our teachers unions and educators have forgotten they work on behalf of the taxpayers, and our curriculum is failing our students."
Gail Huff Brown, another GOP candidate, said Reynolds is out-of-touch.
"If one of my daughters had an assignment like this I would have been appalled and I suggest this professor get out of their academic bubble and visit the real world where the vast majority of us are friendly, tolerant, and welcoming of all people," Huff Brown said.
Last year, New Hampshire's legislature banned public employees from teaching that any person or group is superior or inferior based on their race, creed, or sexual identity. However, that law specifically excludes the state's public college system. A proposal introduced this year, HB 1313, would apply the anti-discrimination law to New Hampshire colleges.

Possible Hall of Famer returning at the Royal Rumble?
MostlyGary
The Royal Rumble every year sees speculation about surprise shock returns as well as genuine shocking returns such as John Cena in 2008 and Rey Mysterio in 2018. Could the latest rumour be a miracle or too good to be true?
Adam Copeland better known as Edge has been rumoured to be returning to the ring. Edge has reportedly signed a contract with a "pretty nice upside" to it but at the minute it's unclear what the contract entails. Edge retired from the ring in 2011 as World Heavyweight Champion following neck injuries putting too much strain on his body. Edge has been healing for 8 years now and has been doing his own stunts on TV. He even returned at Summerslam and got physical by spearing Elias.
That being said the look of relief on his face after he speared Elias showed that even he has concerns about wrestling again. Edge has denied that he would be returning to the ring and he shouldn't return if his body isn't able to. We've seen Daniel Bryan return to the ring after a career ending injury but Edges injury is different.
Would you like to see Edge return to ring? Would you like him to stay away from the ring and be healthy? Will the upside be Christian finally getting into the Hall of Fame? Let us know your thoughts in the comments

Q: Update a GTK text label with C without using buttons I'm doing a C GUI application that show the user's CPU Temperature, so I added a text label to show the Temperature. But I'm not sure how to update the label.
If the function to update the label (with a while loop, to update constantly the temperature) is called before gtk_main(),the app just won't start, because it's stuck in the loop of the function. And if it's called after the gtk_main(), the label isn't updated.
Here is the print_temperature() function:
void print_temperature(GtkLabel *cpu_temp) {
    while(1) {
        int *allTemps = calloc(3, sizeof(int));
        allTemps = getTemperatures(measureTemperature());

        char *currentTemp = malloc(8 * sizeof(char));
        sprintf(currentTemp, "%d.0°C", allTemps[0]);
        free(allTemps);

        gtk_label_set_text(cpu_temp, currentTemp);
        free(currentTemp);
    }

}

Can anyone help me with that, please? I'm still learning C.

A: Well, the thing is not about how you do it, but more about, do you know what you exactly try to do?
I am still not 100% that I am understanding your program, but from what I understand, is that you have an Application which should update your temperature label every n seconds.
Me I'll use the g_timeout_add passing your function, something like this:
#include <gtk/gtk.h>
#include <math.h>

static void on_clicked ( GtkWidget *button )
{
    g_return_if_fail ( GTK_IS_BUTTON ( button ) );

    /// ***
    static guint i = 0;

    /// ***
    g_print ( "You clicked the Button %u Times\n", ++i );
}

static gboolean print_temperature ( GtkWidget *temperature )
{
    /// *** If no Label don't run
    g_return_val_if_fail ( GTK_IS_LABEL ( temperature ), FALSE );

    /// ***
    static float temp    = 0.0;
    const float max_temp = 25.0;

    /// ***
    char *text;
    text = g_strdup_printf ( "%.2f", temp++ );

    /// ***
    gtk_label_set_label ( GTK_LABEL ( temperature ), text );

    //// ***
    g_print ( "Temperature: %s\n", text );

    /// *** Free the Text
    g_free ( text );

    /// *** once that temp rich 25 should start again
    if ( fabs ( temp - max_temp ) < 0.01f )
    {
        temp = 0.0;
    }

    /// ***
    return TRUE;
}

static void activate_clbk ( GtkApplication *application )
{
    GtkWidget *window;
    GtkWidget *box;;
    GtkWidget *button;
    GtkWidget *label;

    /// ***
    window = gtk_application_window_new   ( application );
    gtk_window_set_default_size ( GTK_WINDOW ( window ), 200, 200 );

    /// *** Create a box
    box = gtk_box_new ( GTK_ORIENTATION_VERTICAL, 10 );

    /// *** Create a button
    button = gtk_button_new_with_label ( "Click me" );

    /// ***
    g_signal_connect_swapped ( button, "clicked", G_CALLBACK ( on_clicked ), button );

    /// ***
    label = gtk_label_new ( "0" );

    /// *** Call it every 250 milliseconds
    g_timeout_add ( 250, G_SOURCE_FUNC ( print_temperature ), label );

    /// *** If you need it only in seconds use this one
    /// g_timeout_add_seconds ( 1, G_SOURCE_FUNC ( print_temperature ), label );

    /// *** GTK3
    gtk_container_add ( GTK_CONTAINER ( window ), box );

    /// ***
    gtk_box_pack_start ( GTK_BOX ( box ), button, 1, 1, 10 );

    /// ***
    gtk_box_pack_start ( GTK_BOX ( box ), label, 1, 1, 10 );

    /// ***
    gtk_widget_show_all ( window );

    /*
    /// *** GTK4
    gtk_window_set_child ( GTK_WINDOW ( window ), box );

    /// ***
    gtk_box_append ( GTK_BOX ( box ), button );

    /// ***
    gtk_box_append ( GTK_BOX ( box ), label );

    /// ***
    gtk_window_present ( GTK_WINDOW ( window ) );
    */
}

int main ( void )
{
    GtkApplication *application;
    gint status;

    /// ***
    application = gtk_application_new ( "this.is.my-nice.app", G_APPLICATION_FLAGS_NONE );

    /// ***
    g_signal_connect ( application, "activate", G_CALLBACK ( activate_clbk ), NULL );

    /// ***
    status = g_application_run ( G_APPLICATION ( application ), FALSE, NULL );

    /// ***
    g_object_unref ( application );
    return status;
}

Just compile it and try it, and you will see that your application does not interferes with your label, even if you click that Button.

Nearly as controversial as the reconstruction of the Berlin Stadtschloss is the rebuilding of the Meisterhäuser [Masters' Houses] once inhabited by Gropius and Moholy-Nagy in Dessau (built in 1926 by the architect Walter Gropius), which were destroyed during the Second World War.
Bruno Fioretti Marquez Architekten (BFM) confront this years-long conflict with a "strategy of blurred memory." The Bauhaus Dessau Foundation had pointedly spoken out against a "faithful" reconstruction. Instead it launched a number of competitions in search of a strategy to reinterpret these modernist classics. For their reconstruction of the Director's House, BFM reference not the original building, but a plaster model Walter Gropius once had made of it.
Essentially, the plaster model will be enlarged to a scale of 1:1, maintaining its sketch-like quality with such features as frameless, flush windows. Inside, the original room structures are to be suggested by new woodwork.
For this abstract reconstruction, significant changes were made to the existing premises. Most notably, the removal of the Emmer House, which was built above the basement of the destroyed Gropius House in 1956. The pitched roof villa was a direct example of the at times destructive treatment of the Bauhaus legacy during the twentieth century.
The BFM project raises fundamental questions concerning reconstruction and recycling: why shouldn't this construction be true to the original, as was done with the other Meisterhäuser nearby?
Here, in contrast to the Stadtschloss in Berlin, numerous original elements had survived. Why must this "blurred" reconstruction by BFM be erected on the "genuine" basement of the Gropius house? Would it have been more consistent to conduct this elsewhere as an independent experiment?
Only a classic reconstruction requires the aura of the original location and as many original elements as possible.
As the attempt to reconstruct the past—new, but out of focus—this remains an interesting project concept. But only upon its scheduled completion in 2013 will it be able to prove itself as architecture.

I'm pretty new to canning (2 years). A couple months ago I PC'd quarts and jars of pinto beans with bacon and onions. I cooked at the right times 60/90 at 10 lbs. They all sealed with a ping, ping, etc. Today I was checking my jars and 2 quarts and 1 pint came right open with just my fingers. I was so frustrated because I had to dump them UGH! I've never had this happen before and am not sure what I did wrong. Can anyone help? Oh and I used new Ball lids. Thanks!

The Surf Ballroom (also called the Surf) is a Historic Rock and Roll Landmark at 460 North Shore Drive, Clear Lake, Iowa, United States. The Surf is closely associated with the event known colloquially as "The Day the Music Died" – early rock and roll stars Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and J. P. "The Big Bopper" Richardson gave their last performances at the Surf on February 2, 1959, as part of the "Winter Dance Party Tour".

On September 6, 2011, The Surf Ballroom was added to the National Register of Historic Places. In 2021, it was named a National Historic Landmark.

Name and history
The original Surf Ballroom opened on April 17, 1933. It was named that because the original owners wanted patrons to feel like they were at a surf beach club. Murals were painted on the club walls depicting ocean waves, boats on the water, and palm trees. The furniture is bamboo and rattan, giving a South Sea Islands ambiance. Several fake palm trees rise on each side of the stage. Clouds are painted on the ceiling to give a feeling of dancing outdoors by the ocean.

It burned down on April 20, 1947, at an estimated loss of $250,000. On July 1, 1948, it reopened, having been rebuilt across the street from its original location. It still hosts numerous events year round and has a seating capacity of 2,100 and a  dance floor. The facility includes a museum of music memorabilia, a Wall of Fame including many of the many famous artists who performed at the venue, and a souvenir shop.

The Surf Ballroom is currently owned by the Snyder family of Clear Lake and is open to the public daily. The exterior of the ballroom has changed very little since the 1950s. Backstage, in an area known as "The Green Room," acts that have performed on the ballroom's historic stage, such as Little River Band, Loverboy, The Righteous Brothers, The Temptations, The Beach Boys, Waylon Jennings (A former band member and bass player of Buddy Holly's band, the Crickets.) and Bobby Rydell have signed their names on the whitewashed walls, and photos of them have been placed on a wall alongside those of early rock-and-roll pioneers.

In 1998, the Surf Ballroom was inducted into the Iowa Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame in the Ballroom category. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum designated the Surf Ballroom a historical landmark on January 27, 2009. The ceremony giving landmark status to the site kicked off a week-long celebration of the 50th anniversary of the February 2, 1959, "Winter Dance Party" concert and the tragic incident of February 3, 1959.

The Day the Music Died

Holly, Valens, and Richardson left The Surf immediately after the show, going to the nearby Mason City airport and chartering a small plane to take them to Fargo, North Dakota, to prepare for their next show at the Moorhead Armory in Moorhead, Minnesota. The plane took off at 12:55 AM Central Time on Tuesday, February 3, 1959. Shortly after takeoff, the plane crashed, killing everyone aboard.

A concrete monument was erected outside The Surf, and the ballroom is adorned with large pictures of the three musicians. In his honor, a street flanking the facility's east property line is named Buddy Holly Place.

Winter Dance Party tribute event
Each February since 1979, the Surf Ballroom has hosted a "Winter Dance Party" tribute show to honor the lives and legacies of the three stars.
