Fulbright Scholar describes the impact unchecked drug abuse can have on offspring.
In 2006, studies showed that 5.2 percent of pregnant women in America were abusing methamphetamine, a visiting Fulbright Scholar said during a lecture March 3 in Moody Learning Center.
"These numbers are troubling, and I don't think these mothers knew how it would impact their children," Kate McDonnell-Dowling told an audience of 23 individuals.
McDonnell-Dowling is a neuropharmacology Ph.D. from the National University of Ireland, Galway; she is conducting research at Tufts University in Medford, Mass., on addiction and its effects on maternal behavior patterns.
This college's human services program and Coordinator Edwin Bergen hosted the presentation.
McDonnell-Dowling discussed the drug at the center of her research: methamphetamine, which recently found its way into the public eye thanks to the success of AMC's "Breaking Bad," a fictional show about a high school chemistry teacher who is diagnosed with lung cancer, starts cooking meth to build a nest egg for his family and subsequently rises to power in the drug underworld.
A substance with anorectic properties can and will affect one's ability to regulate his or her weight. Many people who take these drugs lose a significant amount of weight.
What McDonnell-Dowling has found is rather troubling. Meth is primarily abused by adolescents and young adults. Approximately half of known meth users are women, some of whom become pregnant during periods of drug use.
Most of this data is dependent on self-reports, which requires the subject to be candid with the data collectors.
"Most women will be embarrassed to admit drug use," McDonnell-Dowling said.
Even when a subject is being candid with his or her doctor, there are several confounding factors that need to be taken into account.
Clinical studies have found that drug use during pregnancy can have severe physical and neurological consequences for newborns.
To get a better look at these symptoms, McDonnell-Dowling has been examining how meth affects rats during maternity.
The study established several test groups. These groups were separated by dosages ranging from nothing to 10 milligrams.
As the study went on, the researchers began to observe noticeable differences between the groups.
The 10-milligram group began eating considerably less than the other groups once meth was introduced. That group also lost 17.6 percent of their pups, while the control group only lost 2.9 percent of its pups. The pups that survived weren't exactly better off.
The pups from rats that received meth were born with a variety of defects. Many had trouble righting themselves, while others displayed abnormal behavior patterns.
It was actually the female pups that seemed to suffer the greatest amount of physical defects. On the other hand, it was the males that showed differences in their behavior.
The mothers that had been given meth began to show abnormal nursing behaviors. They weren't nursing their pups properly, nor did they spend any significant amount of time interacting with them.
McDonnell-Dowling introduced her current study on how early life stress can lead adolescents to early drug use. It's currently focused on how victims of bullying, especially adolescents, can experience increased depression, anxiety and psychiatric illnesses in adulthood and whether this can cause subjects to become dependent on drugs.
The lecture included some background information on the Fulbright Scholarship program.
In 1945, U.S. Sen. James Fulbright introduced a bill to Congress that called for surplus materials from World War II to be sold to fund an international student exchange. The bill, once signed into law, would become the basis of today's Fulbright program. Today there are more than 294,000 Fulbrighters in the world, and 111,000 are currently in the U.S. The program operates in more than 155 countries worldwide.

Every artist has a lover. Yves Klein has blue. Louise Bourgeois has the spider. Ed Ruscha has words. The Japanese artist Tatsuo Miyajima has numbers; he paints them on the folds of bright kimonos, he draws them in sketchbooks, he fills walls, floors, pools of water and piles of coal with glowing numerals. His shirts are tailor made with numbers that fall from their lapels to their chest. Miyajima has adopted the light-emitting diodes of Tokyo's Akihabara district as his vocabulary, developing a body of work that is governed by his beliefs as a Buddhist and a three-part self-invented principle: 'keep changing', 'connect with everything' and 'continue forever'.
I met with Miyajima in Sydney at the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia, where his survey exhibition Connect With Everything (3 November - 5 March 2017) is being shown, to discuss his notion of time and reflect on the last two decades of his work. Across painting, installation, sculpture, drawing, performance and video his works play on the corporeality of numbers, using the legibility and authority of numerical systems to count human and natural histories out loud. Since the late 1980s, after studying painting at Tokyo University of the Arts, Miyajima has focused his attention exclusively on numbers and light, making work in which life only exists in relation to death.
Miyajima depicts the numbers one to nine in the digital 'font' of calculators and clock radios, with each of their articulated parts evoking the image of a rigid limb.
At every turn in this survey viewers are led to think in calculations and finitudes. In the room-scale work Mega Death (first shown when Miyajima represented Japan in the 48th Venice Biennale in 1999) hundreds of timed blue LEDs ebb into life. Like many of Miyajima's works, Mega Death plays with the tension between abstract belief and concrete understanding; we recognise our own mortality in the instant the lights go out in unison, plunging the room into darkness. Other works employ similar tactics of illumination and disappearance to recall the horrors of the 20th century, the Second World War, Hiroshima and Auschwitz. More recent works such as those from his 'Pile Up Life' series—comprising mounds of earth carpeted in LED counter gadgets—pay homage to the lives lost through natural disaster. Connect with Everything shows Tatsuo Miyjima is counting down to the inevitable the only way he knows how: from one to nine.

Each culture has their own unique concept of time and each has their own approach to the commodification and monetisation of time, how important is context to your work and how have you responded to the site here in Sydney?
I am influenced by whomever I meet and wherever I go, but it's not something you can necessarily see on the surface of my work; it's just that I've been to places that have left a mark on me so I might think of things differently when I leave to make a work. I first came to Sydney in 1992 as part of the [9th] Biennale and I was able to stay here for a week with my wife. The memory of that has actually influenced my work but you won't necessarily see that just by looking at it. It's not like I'm suddenly going to put a kangaroo in a counter gadget.

Through their repetition and the contrast of their pace, colour and scale, the numbers in your works come to represent humanity, at times appearing to develop their own unique character. When you work do you imagine the lives of the people they represent or do you have a more anonymous connection to the numbers in your work?
I've got roughly two directions with that. I have works where I use the shape of the human body and I place counters within it, and with that work I'm obviously investing an individuality into time and work and that person or entity in a sense. But there are also works where the time and the counters represent people, but it's so abstract that it is distant from me.
Could you speak to the influence that technology has on aesthetics?
Technology to me is quite neutral. It doesn't really carry any values of beauty within it. What is interesting to me is what's behind technology and the philosophical aspects of that. You look at your analogue watch and you can see the needle go around. But when a digital counter counts down from ten, there is a moment when it changes which you cannot perceive. And so, you have a quantum leap of something that might be 0.999 ... which is not one, but it makes that incremental jump to become something. It is this quantum leap that I try to get a handle on; it is the moment when something arises out of nothing and that is what life is like. So, does technology influence me to do things in a particular way? No, not really. Rather technology allows me to explore that vague feeling or awareness—that momentary flash when something ticks over and a quantum leap is made. That's what I'm interested in.
Art contains that which is beautiful and that which is good. The aesthetic sensation that arises from art itself is the reason why I am in it. So that means that my own aesthetic comes from art itself. All the little judgments and decisions I make also come from art. I do have an aesthetic sense that guides my decisions, but technology in motion is not my point; the aesthetic experience which arises from art [for the audience] is the point.
Tatsuo Miyajima, Mega Death, 1999-2016. Photo: Alex Davies.
You made Mega Death on the eve of the new millennium and have said it was your critique of 20th century history. What does Mega Death mean to you today, over a decade into this new century?
Mega Death was completed in 1999, and then two years later we had the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center in New York, which dragged us into a whole variety of global and regional conflicts that are still going on. I know I made Mega Death as a critique of the 20th century, but the feeling I have now is did any of us actually properly critique the 20th century in a manner that we can then apply in the 21st century so that we don't make the same mistakes again? I feel that the more the 21st century progresses, Mega Death is actually increasing in its meaning rather than decreasing.
You program your LED counters so that they have their own unique 'lifespan', but the LED's also have their own 'factory-set' lifespan. These systems create two different registers of time; one that you control and one that is predetermined—just like life. How do you reconcile these two different registers of time in your work and how does 'clock-time' compare with 'human time'?
Horologists decided upon clock time in 1884 as a point where we 'start from'. I'm actually not that interested in clock time, I'm interested in time that's personal. If I'm bored time passes slowly and expands; if I'm having fun time goes by in a hurry and appears to shrink. So, for me, when I think about human life and the time that passes then the time I'm talking about is the sort of time that changes due to our consciousness and awareness. [Tatsuo leans in, and lifts his sleeve to show me his watch. Its elegant clean lines replace its usefulness as a device for telling time; there are large gaps between the few numbers on its face.] With the watch I wear you can hardly tell the time on it because it's only got one needle, so one unit is actually about 15 minutes. So when someone says 'what time is it?' I can only tell them roughly.
[At this point I tell Tatsuo that I sympathise with that idea of time and say I'd prefer to take a train journey that is beautiful, than one that is fast. Suddenly there is a furtive knock on the door of our room, and just like that we are out of time.]

Combining a blend of brit pop, indie rock and hip hop, Gorillaz rose to fame in the early '00s as the first virtual hip-hop group. The band consists of four fictional, animated members created by Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett. Each member has detailed biographies and characteristics, but don't actually represent anyone in real life. In reality, Albarn is the only permanent musician and contributor to the band, with much of the music being created by various collaborators.
Gorillaz debuted in 2000 with theTomorrow Comes Today EP. They gained worldwide recognition the following year with their single, "Clint Eastwood" and subsequently dropped their debut album, Gorillaz, which was certified platinum in the U.S. Following their debut, Gorillaz released their sophomore album, Demon Days, in 2005, which is their most successful album to date. It spawned the grammy winning hit single, "Feel Good Inc." and was certified double platinum in the U.S. and triple platinum in the U.K.
Though comprised of animated characters, Gorillaz has achieved success as real as any living musician.


Veterans For Peace was founded in 1985 by 10 U.S. veterans in response to the global nuclear arms race and U.S. military interventions in Central America. The organization rapidly grew to more than 8,000 members in the buildup to the U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003.
VFP now has veteran and associate members in every U.S. state and several countries. VFP has over 120 chapters, including international chapters in Vietnam, the United Kingdom, Japan, and Ireland. The organization holds a permanent Non-Governmental Organization seat at the United Nations. VFP is also the first military veterans' organization invited to be a member of the International Peace Bureau based in Geneva, Switzerland.
Our veteran membership includes 70 years of service spanning WWII to the current era. Our members actively work to prevent the spread of militarism in our society, change U.S. foreign policy from endless war to diplomacy and to help our national leaders have a long term vision of peace and justice. Our members believe one of the most important components to ending war is to work for peace.
In the last 30 years, VFP has led or participated in over 60 peace delegations to Latin America, Vietnam, Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and Africa. We have collaborated with dozens of organizations and sponsored thousands of activities promoting peace in this country.
heal the wounds of war and build a just and peaceful society.
These three program areas with our legislative work are a foundation to forward the mission of Veterans For Peace.
Today, members remain actively engaged in campaigns to help bring a clearer understanding of the cost of war. Much of our current work is focused on the endless global war on terror, with projects to support returning veterans, close the School of the Americas, close Guantanamo Bay, oppose drone warfare, and counter military recruitment efforts in schools.
In the photo above, members of Veterans For Peace in several Northern California chapters were the first veterans to go back to Viet Nam for humanitarian work and reconcilliation. These members helped construct the first Medical Clinic by Americans since the war.
VFP has a proud history, we should celebrate these little sucessful projects. We were pushing against the Embargo of Viet Nam, which was lifted in early 1993.

Q: Running running and interacting with docker from python I have a simple python code I want to run inside a docker container.
print("Starting")
while True:
    stdin = input()
    print('read: ', stdin)
    if stdin == 'end':
        break
print("Closing")

The docker container is an instance of an image containing the script.
Dockerfile:
FROM continuumio/anaconda3
ADD script.py /
CMD [ "python", "/script.py" ]

When I run
docker run -i myimage

Everything works as expected. I have access to the stdin and I can communicate with the script.
I would like to replicate this behavior in python via either dockerpy or Popen.
I thought something like this will work, but it doesn't
p = Popen(['docker', 'run', '-i', '-d', 'myimage'], stdout=PIPE, stdin=PIPE, stderr=PIPE)
p.stdin.write("Hello world!")
p.stdin.write("end")

Ben Affleck and Lindsay Shookus break up again, plus more celeb love life news for mid-April 2019
By Jessica Wedemeyer 1:58pm PDT, Apr 11, 2019
Wonderwall.com is taking a look back at the stars who found love, suffered heartbreak or experienced some other major event in their love lives in mid-April 2019, starting with one of our favorite leading men… People magazine and Us Weekly reported on April 11 that Ben Affleck and Lindsay Shookus called it quits for the second time following a reconciliation of just a few months. "She has a kid and an ex-husband and a job in New York and Ben has his family and a job in L.A., and while they love and respect each other, they just realized it wasn't going to work," an insider told both outlets. "They really gave it another solid try." Now keep reading for more of the week's biggest celeb love life updates…

Cole Swindell and WWE Diva Barbie Blank made their red carpet debut as a couple at the ACM Awards in Las Vegas on April 7. There had been a few indications that they were an item leading up to the annual celebration of Nashville's finest. On Feb. 20, the Kelly Kelly wrestler sparked romance rumors when she called the country crooner "babe" while congratulating him on his ACM Award nomination for best song via Twitter. "I am beyond excited and proud of you babe!!!" she tweeted at the time.

The country superstar revealed in mid-February that she and the NYPD officer had quietly tied the knot. It soon came out that they'd eloped in Tennessee in January after less than three months of dating.

Wendy Williams filed to divorce her husband of nearly 22 years, Kevin Hunter, on April 11, her attorney confirmed to Page Six. Just last month, the daytime talk-show hostess addressed rumors that they were headed toward a split. After calling Kevin her "best friend" and "lover," Wendy said, "I'm still very much in love with my husband. … Anybody who has been married for five minutes or 500 years, you know marriages have ebbs and flows. Marriages are not easy. And don't ask me about mine until you see [my wedding ring] gone — it ain't going anywhere, not in this lifetime."
People magazine reported on April 8 that, according to a witness, Ben Stiller and Christine Taylor — who announced in May 2017 that they'd separated after nearly two decades of coupledom — were holding hands while taking in a performance of "Pretty Woman: The Musical" with their kids, daughter Ella and son Quinlin, at the Nederlander Theatre in New York City on April 6. "It was a sweet family night out," said a spy. "The kids were glowing because they all love the theater, and Ben and Christine looked happy together, smiling and laughing and holding hands, especially during intermission. They seemed to really love the show and being around one another." After the curtain call, the family of four headed backstage to pose with two stars of the Broadway show's stars, Andy Karl and Orfeh.
On the April 10 episode of "The Bellas Podcast," Nikki Bella opened up about her ex-fiancé, John Cena, and his new relationship. "He's one of the people … who's made me an amazing person. But because of how sad [he was] and how much I hurt him, when I saw the big smile on his face [when he was photographed holding hands with Shay Shariatzadeh], I felt happy for him," she said. "I am very happy for him. As long as John is happy, I'm happy." She went on to say that she's still protective of her ex: "Let me tell you, she breaks his heart? Wow. I will rack attack her in a heartbeat," she joked. The "Total Bellas" star added that she was aware John had started dating before his relationship with Shay was exposed to the rest of the world: "He and I had talked about it," she said. "Maybe that's why it didn't hurt me. … I think I was just really curious to see who he was going on dinner dates with, which, you know, they'll never be like ours. Just kidding!" Concluded the brunette beauty, "John is an amazing man and our timing wasn't right. Who knows, can timing be right for us in the future? Maybe, maybe not. Are we meant for other people? Maybe. … That's the thing about love. I think when you're on a reality show and you put your love out there, we get judged on it so hard and people only see us together. … I have to see why I wasn't happy and him, the same. Sometimes you learn that way and that's how people get back together but you grow that way." Not long after "The Bellas Podcast" hit the Internet, John cryptically tweeted — seemingly in response to Nikki's comments about their relationship, "Instead of trying to find the right person, try to be the right person. Get to a point where you love yourself, and you might be surprised at the company you choose to keep."
During an April 9 appearance on Power 105.1 FM's "The Breakfast Club," Jennifer Lopez addressed the cheating allegations Jose Canseco leveled against Alex Rodriguez the day after they got engaged: "It doesn't matter," she said. "I know what the truth is. I know who [Alex] is. He knows who I am. We're just happy. We're not gonna let other people come out and tell us what our relationship is. I know what our relationship is." The singer-actress also opened up about how she and A-Rod are compatible in spite of both being Leos: "It's hard. It's hard when the Leos come out," she joked. "We're both so bossy, strong alphas. The combining of that… I think we have so much respect for each other because of that, that it makes us love each other more. Like, 'You are a beast!' … I think I do [love that the most about him]." Explained J.Lo, "I have never been with somebody who grinds in the way I do. On that level where I'm like, 'You're driving me crazy. You need to slow down. You need to stop.' Never have I said that to anybody — because I work on a level that's fueled by such passion that it's never enough for me. But he's like that too. That's why he's one of the greatest of all time. … We love each other — we do. We have a lot of love and respect and admiration for each other, and that is so nice. Also, I've never been with somebody who lets me be the full shine J.Lo of all of myself and all the sides of me. That makes me really happy. … He's like, 'Just go, baby, just go!" She went on to say that she wasn't expecting Alex to propose — after first getting her parents' blessing, she said — during their March getaway to the Bahamas. "We had talked a little bit about it, and we had gone back and forth like, 'Where is this going? What are we doing? It's been a couple years.' But I didn't know he was gonna propose that weekend," she said. "It was so amazing. And afterwards I think the best part is we were both so happy — it was almost like a weight lifted off. It was like, ok, now we're really doing this. Now we're ready. We knew we were gonna be together, but until you take that step, there's always like, well, don't mess up! … But now it's like, OK, no matter what happens, we're gonna work it out." That same day, Jennifer told 103.5 KTU's "Cubby and Carolina in the Morning" show that she and A-Rod have yet to start planning their wedding. "We just got engaged, and then right afterwards, we started working right away, and we're working the rest of the year, so I don't know what's gonna happen," she said. "We haven't decided if we're going to squeeze it in somewhere or we're going to wait." (On April 5, the baseball star laughed off rumors that they're planning to tie the knot at Yankee Stadium.)
During her April 9 interview on "The Breakfast Club," Jennifer Lopez also opened up about her ex-boyfriend, Diddy, and an effusive comment he left on a picture of the singer-actress showing off her abs that she posted on Instagram back in January. "OMG," he commented with the heart-eye emoji, prompting some of J.Lo's followers to accuse the music mogul of disrespecting her current love, Alex Rodriguez. "Just so you guys know, [Diddy] wrote Alex after that," she said. "He was like, 'I didn't mean anything by it. I have nothing but respect for you guys. I'm so happy for you guys.'" Continued Jennifer, "We were together so many years ago. We were kids. … We were boyfriend and girlfriend when we were little. That was such a long time ago. It was a different type of relationship."
Kiernan Shipka's romance with Gary Oldman's son, Charlie Oldman, reached a few important milestones this week. First, the duo went Instagram official on April 8, when the male model shared a selfie with the actress with her lips puckered up near his cheek, which he captioned with a heart emoji. The following day, they made their official Hollywood debut at the premiere of "Be Natural: The Untold Story of Alice Guy-Blaché" in Los Angeles. Though they declined to pose together on the red carpet, Kiernan and Charlie didn't shy away from being photographed together at the afterparty.
The Sun reported on April 7 that Princess Beatrice and her boyfriend, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, are getting serious: According to a source, he recently moved into her apartment at St. James's Palace. But that's not all: The duo also reportedly plan to tie the knot in late 2019 or early 2020. "They are incredibly happy and already planning the wedding," said the insider. "They can hardly keep their hands off each other and spend every moment they can together. I don't know if he has actually got down on one knee with a ring yet but they are openly talking about marriage and it will either be later this year or possibly early in 2020. … I know her parents are delighted and [her mother] is already thinking about her wedding day outfit!" The source went on to say that, at first, the couple "were keen to keep their romance under wraps" to protect the privacy of Edoardo's 2-year-old son, Christopher Woolf, with ex-girlfriend Dara Huang. "But now they are just happy for everything to be out in the open," said the insider. "They don't want to hide their love and just adore each other. The fact that he is living at St. James's Palace shows the depth of their relationship and that he has been given the royal seal of approval!"
Chris Lane and Lauren Bushnell aren't even engaged yet, but the country crooner is already talking marriage. "I think she wants a smaller wedding, probably, so once we get to that point, then it's kind of whatever she wants, I'm down for — that's how I roll," he told People magazine at the 2019 ACM Awards on April 7. The blonde beauty — who got engaged to Ben Higgins on the finale of Season 20 of "The Bachelor" in 2016 — recently moved from Los Angeles into an apartment with her beau in Nashville. "I'm a really clean person, so I thought to myself, 'All right, is this a good idea or not? Because if she isn't, it could be a deal breaker,'" Chris told People of his girlfriend of less than a year. "The verdict is: She's actually even more clean than I am, and she's a great cook. So we make a great team. She cooks, I clean."
Bobby Jacobs took to Instagram on April 5 to confirm rumors that he and Amanda Stanton — who competed for Ben Higgins' heart on Season 20 of "The Bachelor" in 2016 — called it quits after about a year of coupledom. Responding to a fan who asked if one of them cheated on the other and implored them to work it out for the sake of her two daughters, Bobby wrote, "There was no cheating. I'd always be there for the girl and I've voiced that many a time. Coming from having a deadbeat Dad I've chosen to live my life nothing like him. They touched my heart and vice versa. No matter what I'll always be around for them." When another follower asked if the breakup had anything to do with the photo hack Amanda recently suffered, he replied, "Not at all." Just last month, the duo showed off their new home in a joint Us Weekly photo shoot with Amanda's daughters, who'd reportedly grown extremely close to Bobby. According to a source, the mother of two "thought things were going well" before her beau realized that he "needed space." Said an Us Weekly source, "Bobby hoped things could work in the future. … He wants a stress-free life and he said Amanda wasn't supportive enough and didn't share enough of her success with him." According to the insider, Bobby "hadn't told" Amanda about his concerns before he dumped her, leaving her "blindsided by it all." The source added that Bobby "wanted to work things out and slowly ease back into things" but Amanda "couldn't get back together with him after this." A second source said that the blonde beauty was "really confused" by the breakup but "respected his decision and is moving on." The second insider added that Amanda is keeping the home she rented with Bobby and is "doing really well." Said the source, "She is focusing on herself, family and work. She has no plans to date anytime soon and is comfortable being single."
On April 8, Amanda Stanton took to her Instagram Story to confirm her split from Bobby Jacobs. In a series of videos, the reality star insisted she's "totally fine" in spite of being "completely blindsided" by the breakup, which she said "happened very suddenly." She went on to say that Bobby "didn't do anything wrong" and that they "had a great relationship" that "wasn't toxic." She continued, "It was actually the healthiest relationship I've ever been in. He was my best friend. I was super happy and that was not fake." That said, there's no chance they'll get back together: "I personally don't believe in breaking up and getting back together. … I just don't think it works out," she said. "I also don't know how I would be able to get back in a relationship where I thought things were going great and then it suddenly ended. I would just constantly worry — even when I thought things were going good — I would just worry." She then said that she's "not trying to jump back into dating" — no matter how turnt her Instagram may make her social life appear.
Fashion designer Marc Jacobs and model-turned-candlemaker Charly Defrancesco tied the knot in New York City on April 6. Their A-list guest list included Gigi Hadid, Bella Hadid, Kate Moss and daughter Lila Hack, Naomi Campbell, Emily Ratajkowski, Rita Ora, Kaia Gerber, Mya, Lil' Kim, Anna Wintour, Bette Midler, Erika Jayne, Christy Turlington and Edward Burns, Alek Wek, Helena Christensen, Justin Theroux, Rachel Zoe, Chloe Sevigny, Luka Sabbat, Christina Ricci, Debbie Harry, Sandra Bernhard, Amber Valletta and more.
Don Lemon took to Instagram on April 6 to announce that his boyfriend, Tim Malone, proposed following the real estate agent's April 5 birthday celebration. "He gave me a present on his birthday. How could I say no?" the CNN anchor captioned an image of custom nametags Tim made for their two dogs — "Daddy will you marry Papa?" they read. A few days later, Don told Us Weekly that it's still "weird" to call Tim his fiancé. "My fiancé is a really great guy. He's really sweet," he said on April 9. "He was so vulnerable when he was asking me [to marry him]. I didn't think it was real. … His entire body was shaking, and he said, 'I love you, and I want to spend the rest of my life with you.' And I said, 'Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh, are you serious? This is real!' And I saw the box and I said, 'All right.'" He went on to say that their relationship of nearly three years feels more "real" now that they're engaged. "I grew up thinking that … my relationships would never be public, let alone [that I would] get married, and now I can get legally married. My relationship is public and I have started thinking about children. So I'm a real late bloomer! A true late bloomer," said the 53-year-old newsman, who came out in his 2011 memoir. "Everyone's been asking me when I'm going to get married. I don't know!" he concluded. "I'm just relishing and enjoying the bliss of engagement. … I haven't thought about it, probably on a beach somewhere, very casual, barefoot."
Former "Survivor: Worlds Apart" competitors Joe Anglim and Sierra Dawn Thomas — who faced off against each other in 2014 and started dating in 2017 — took to Instagram on April 9 to announce that they're engaged. "Forever and ever, amen," the bride-to-be captioned a photo showing off her new engagement ring. "Yes #forever," Joe captioned a photo of himself on bended knee, kissing his new fiancée's hand.
JWoww briefly reunited with her estranged husband, Roger Mathews, for a pre-Easter celebration with their two kids on April 6. Two days later, her rep explained in a statement to Us Weekly that the duo, who've publicly accused each other of abuse, are still divorcing. "Jenni's kids' needs and wants will always come first," said the rep. "She is being an adult about the divorce and working towards being better co-parents. As far as the divorce, there is no reconciliation in the future and she is excited about continuing to move on with her life."
Pauly D and JWoww may have hooked up back in their early days on "Jersey Shore," but don't expect that to happen again now that they're both single, he told Us Weekly during a joint April 9 interview with Vinny Guadagnino. "She's awesome, but she is like a sister to us. She's like family, so I wouldn't want to cross that line again. She's like my sister," he said. Echoed Vinny, "That's like my older sister at this point. We never really had that thing. We joke around and stuff because now she's, like, recently single. But, nah. … I don't know if that would ever happen."
In early April, A Boogie wit da Hoodie took to Instagram to apologize to longtime love Ella Bands, with whom he shares a daughter, after she publicly accused him of cheating (again) earlier this year. "Smh It really takes losing what you have to love and appreciate what you had," he captioned a photo of himself with his ex and their little girl. "I hate to be the type to regret things but I [messed] up like crazy with you and I regret every little mistake even tho it made me open my eyes and realize what really matters to me. I love you no matter what and I will never disrespect you in any type of way ever again whether you accept me after all I've done or not. You are everything a man can ask for and gave me a beautiful family to love, prosper, and cherish. I was never a outspoken person with anyone but you, my best friend. I can't even imagine starting over smh. I want you more than ever rn but I truly understand if I'm not forgiven. You will always be my best friend and true love love at heart!" Ella clearly caught wind of Boogie's post and tweeted on April 8, "public apologies don't mean [anything]. the disrespect was public too."
On April 4, author MacKenzie Bezos took to Twitter to announce that she and Amazon mogul Jeff Bezos had finalized their divorce. "Grateful to have finished the process of dissolving my marriage with Jeff with support from each other and everyone who reached out to us in kindness, and looking forward to next phase as co-parents and friends," she wrote. "Happy to be giving him all of my interests in the Washington Post and Blue Origin, and 75 percent of our Amazon stock plus voting control of my shares to support his continued contributions with the teams of these incredible companies. Excited about my own plans. Grateful for the past as I look forward to what comes next."
A day after MacKenzie Bezos announced that her divorce from Jeff Bezos had been finalized, the Amazon CEO's girlfriend, former 'So You Think You Can Dance?" host Lauren Sanchez, and her estranged husband, WME agency CEO Patrick Whitesell (left), filed for divorce. According to TMZ, which reported that it's likely the former couple have already mediated their divorce terms, the duo indicated that they do not have a prenup and asked for joint custody of their two children. Neither is asking for child or spousal support.
During an April 9 Q&A with fans on her Instagram Story, Jana Kramer explained why she stayed with her husband, Mike Caussin, after he suffered a relapse in his battle with sex addiction. "Because even after all the hurt I still loved him so much. And I knew that he was a good man and father at his core. No one is perfect," she wrote. She also shared her advice to anyone going through a difficult time in his or her marriage: "If both parties are willing then don't give up. Go to a therapist and work on your marriage. It's had work but if two people are willing to fight for their marriage then it could be beautiful," she wrote.
During an April 8 appearance on "TMZ Live," Tarek El Moussa revealed that, at first, he couldn't stand working with his ex-wife, Christina Anstead, following their 2016 split. "It's been a few years now. At the beginning it was like pulling teeth — let's be honest," he said. "Things are good today. She's remarried [to Ant Anstead]. She's actually pregnant — everybody knows that. She's having a son. My kids are super-excited, and I'm excited for her new chapter in life. They're a great couple. I really do hope the best for them." The father of two added of whether or not he and Christina will work together more in the future, "You never know what's going to happen. We've been working together so long, and we're just so intertwined with all our businesses and our shooting that it's kind of refreshing to be able to go off on my own now and try some new opportunities. I'm really excited about it." When Tarek gave the interview, Christina and Ant had yet to publicly reveal the gender of their unborn child. But Christina didn't get mad at Tarek for letting the cat out of the bag. "While Christina and Ant wished they could have shared the news themselves, they are very excited to welcome a baby boy in the fall," her rep told Us Weekly.
During an April 8 interview with Us Weekly, Harry Hamlin dished on how he and wife Lisa Rinna make their marriage of more than two decades work: "Lisa and I are of the same mind. When you get married, you get married," he said. "So we have a very functional relationship and we respect each other and listen to each other and admire each other and we let each other be. We're not helicopter husband and wife." He went on to call himself and the reality star "a good team" — even though he acknowledged they're "completely and utterly opposite" — and called the fact that they've been together so long "a big deal." Said the actor, "I have no idea why opposites attract." He then said that his first two marriages — to actresses Laura Johnson and Nicollette Sheridan — "disappeared … not for lack of trying on my part."
On April 9, Alyssa Milano told Us Weekly how she and her husband, Dave Bugliari, make time for their relationship with two young kids at home: "We make an effort," she said. "Marriage is work, and I think the thing that makes for a happy marriage is really making an effort to spend time together … and whatever that means for that relationship, you have to strive towards it."
During an interview for the cover of the May 2019 issue of InStyle, which hit the Internet on April 10, Rebel Wilson opened up about the difficulties of dating in the spotlight: "People get very intimidated, which is weird, the idea that I would be intimidating to anyone. But it happens all the time, to the point that someone I really liked was so intimidated and got a lot of anxiety and couldn't have a relationship with me because I'm in the public eye. They didn't want that, so that kind of sucked. If someone thinks they're on a date with Fat Amy, that's not going to happen. Sorry, I can be almost as much fun, but I'm not like that in real life," said the Australian actress, who portrays Fat Amy in the "Pitch Perfect" franchise.
During an interview with Us Weekly that hit the Internet on April 8, "Vanderpump Rules" star Scheana Shay dished on which of her fellow reality TV stars she'd be open to dating. Here's what she had to say… On "Vanderpump Rules" co-star Peter Madrigal: "Love him but he is family and that would never happen." On "Summer House" star Carl Radke: "Been there. Made out with [him]. Nothing else happened. … Not after he went on 'Watch What Happens Live' and made it a bigger thing than it was. But we're still friends." On "Jersey Shore" star Pauly D: "We're good friends, and I have so much fun with him. I'm actually going to Vegas this weekend to see him, but I don't see that ever crossing the line. He's a homey and, yeah, just friends." On "Jersey Shore" star Vinny Guadagnino: "Pauly D before Vinny. I love Vinny on the show, but in person, he's not as adorable and entertaining as he is on the show. He's kind of closed off and just was like, 'Who are you? Why are you at my table?' and I'm like, 'We're friends.'" On "The Bachelorette" star Blake Horstmann: "One of my friends … that is her No. 1 [crush], and she said if I ever date him, she will never speak to me again. So I think he is amazing for anyone other than me — hopefully [for my friend]." On "Southern Charm" star Shep Rose: "I love Shep. We've hung out. We've had our fun. We get along really well. [I'm] open to it. I've always really liked him. … I don't really see him settling down, but I've been wanting to get out to Charleston." On "The Bachelor" star Nick Viall: "No. And probably a year ago, I would've had a different answer to that, but I have met him so many times. We're in the same world. We have the same friends, and it's like, he reintroduces himself every time. I'm like, 'I've met you seven times.' … That's a hard pass." On "Bachelor in Paradise" star Eric Bigger: "We're really good fiends. I don't see it ever being romantic. But he's a good friend. … He's a good person."

Hurricane Sandy Buffets Cruise Ships
Hurricane Sandy, which is stirring up waves as large as 32 feet high according to buoy readings, is also giving a wild ride to passengers on at least five cruise ships.
Captain Vito Giacalone of Carnival Cruise Lines told ABC News via telephone that the storm is getting intense.
"We are navigating through some serious weather, but we're not experiencing any issues. The vessel is very capable," he said.
The five cruise ships in the waters that Sandy is churning today are the Aiduluna, the Carnival Miracle, Explorer of the Seas, the Norwegian Jewel and the Queen Mary 2, which is heading to the United Kingdom.
Daniel Gonzales disembarked from the Disney Dream on Sunday, saying everyone on the ship was getting sick from the waves.
"The ship was going back and forth. It was really scary," said Gonzales.
Cruise ships now out in the waters are being forced to re-route and attempt to ride out the storm throughout the week, and cruise companies are delaying departures and arrivals, and have even cancelled trips.

The Pacific Rattlesnake is found throughout a variety of places in California, from sea level on the Pacific Ocean, the inland prairies and desert areas, to the mountains at elevations of more than 10,000 feet. The Pacific Rattler is the only type found in the Mt. Baldy area.


Paris St-Germain have announced the signing of Chelsea defender David Luiz for an undisclosed fee.
The 27-year-old Brazilian will join the French champions on a five-year contract after the World Cup.
Despite recently failing Uefa's financial fair play (FFP) rules, PSG are reported to be paying £40m for Luiz – a transfer record for a defender.
"Right from the very first contact I had with Paris St-Germain, I was very happy," Luiz told the club's website.
Luiz joined the Blues from Benfica for £21.3m in January 2011 and made 143 appearances for the club.
He had three years left on the five-year contract he signed in September 2012.
Chelsea have already signed midfielder Cesc Fabregas from Barcelona and are close to completing the signing of Atletico Madrid striker Diego Costa.
The Blues also spent £12m on St Etienne centre-back Kurt Zouma in January.
In Paris, Luiz will join up with his international team-mate Thiago Silva, who also set a transfer record for a defender when he joined PSG for £36m from AC Milan.

Q: Kubernetes Future Release Schedule I was tasked with finding out if Kubernetes follows a particular release schedule for future releases. I see dates for old releases but don't see anything about following a certain schedule for future releases. If anyone has anything to provide that would be great. Thank you!

A: SIG release owns the releases.The typical patch release cadence tends to be 3 to 4 weeks. It is commonly a bit faster (1 to 2 weeks) for the earliest patch releases after a 1.X minor release. Critical bug fixes may cause a more immediate release outside of the normal cadence. We also aim to not make releases during major holiday periods
Major/ Minor release happens 4 times in a year. Release timelines of each release can be tracked here.

Top half target for United boss
Hastings United should be challenging in the top half of the Ryman Premier League according to Sean Ray.
Thursday, 16th August 2012, 3:55 pm
United's player-boss was speaking on the eve of the new season which sees his team face a tough looking trip to Hampton & Richmond Borough on Saturday.
Hastings have flirted with relegation in all but one season since they made the step up to the Premier and Ray is desperate to see that change.
"We want to push on. We don't want to be struggling at the bottom, we should be challenging in the top half of the league," he said.
Hastings have secured the services of the majority of last season's squad and added the likes of full back Elliott Cox, former Brighton & Hove Albion youth skipper Tom Vickers and pacey forward Dee Okojie, as well as Rye United duo Jono Richardson and Liam Upton. Anthony Storey, who played a couple of pre-season games, has not been retained.
"Whether it's home or away Hampton is going to be tough," Ray went on. "They've come down from Conference South and they've still got a good squad.
"We are going to play the way we always play. We are going to be attacking, bright and look to get at them early. I'm not going to change the way we play to suit other teams."
Hastings will take a 14-man squad to Hampton consisting of Matt Armstrong-Ford (GK), Ray (D), Josh Jirbandey (D), Scott Manning (D), Cox (D), Matt Whitehead (D), Lee Carey (M), Jamie Crellin (M), Danny Ellis (M), Vickers (M), Zac Attwood (F), Okojie (F), Bailo Camara (F) and Bradley Goldberg (F).
This will be bolstered by Richardson (D), Jack Dixon (D) and Upton (M) who have been away in the United States. See tomorrow's Hastings Observer for the full article.

Q: How to find the cheapest combo of metro subscription Lets say we have the following fares available :

*

*1 trip

*2 trips

*10 trips

*unlimited weekend (saturday to sunday, not 2 days)

*1 day

*3 days

*unlimited week (monday to sunday, not 7 days)

*unlimited month (1st to last day of month)

... with a price for every one of them.
The problem is : **How to determine what set of subscriptions to chose given a date of arrival and a date of departure ? **
Lets say we want the solution for n between 1 and 8, n being the number of time we take the metro daily (so we assume we take the metro the same number of time every day)
For example it would say something like :
n = 1
Arriving on Friday 19th and leaving Thursday 23th, the best is taking the 1 trip, then the weekend, then the 2 trips (didnt calculate but you see the point)
n = 2
...
I have found examples with only 1 day, 2 days, 7 days fares with dynamic programming, but it looks a lot harder when you considerate the days of the week.
Thanks :)

A: I like to view this kind of dynamic program as finding a shortest path in a directed acyclic graph.
Each node of the graph encodes

*

*what the current day is (either during the travel period or the day after), and

*how many trips remain on trip-limited passes (at most n + 9).

Each arc represents either

*

*purchasing a specific pass at a specific time (the length of the arc is the cost of this pass), or

*using trip-limited passes to cover the day's trips (the length of the arc is zero).

The time-limited passes advance the day to the first day they no longer work. The trip-limited passes increase the number of remaining trips. The zero-cost arcs advance the day by one while decreasing the number of remaining trips by n.
Given the shortest path, it is easy to decode it to a plan for purchasing passes.
(P.S. I don't know what the rules are on, e.g., purchasing a week pass on a Tuesday for the rest of the week. Even if this is not allowed, you're going to want to put arcs for the time-limited passes that could have been purchased on a previous day during the travel period.)

Met with Nancy Burnett with the Small Business Development Center a few days ago. She really got the wheels spinning on what and how to get your business up and running successful. I felt like the SBDC was the adult version of a guidance counselor office. Free resources to help you if you choose to seek them out. There is so much opportunity and assistance available from utilizing the librarians of the Denver Libraries to search your marketing segments, or seeking advice from senior caterers or professionals of Johnson & Wales culinary programs.
Nancy runs an 11-week business start-up course in Westminster and Denver to help entrepreneurs really focus and create a roadmap for their future. The "business canvas," a business model that was created to assist entrepreneurs sketch out their partners, resources, cost structure, value to clients, channels and relationships and really strategize their business. She created her own version of the business canvas that breaks it down even further.
Have you ever had Indian food for two weeks straight? Can you imagine! Heavenly spice is what I would call it.
We've spent the last two weeks here in Thumpamon, India for celebrating Hilary, my twin's second wedding, the Indian wedding, with her husband Jacob. We stayed at a four star hotel in Adoor, India which is about 20 minutes drive from his parents home. Luckily the food we were exposed to was of much better quality than that you would find on the streets. It's kind of unbelievable the way they treat their country. Trash is spewed anywhere and everywhere. Cars, rickshaws and bikes literally pollute the streets. If there is a space on the road, it will be filled by motorists. It's almost seems to be a competition driving through the streets. The drivers are constantly slamming on the breaks and the horn. It isn't an angry kind of driving, it's simply just the way it is here.
Anyway, the focus here is the food, not the driving. Whenever you enter someone's home you are greeted with specialty food and drink. It's very nice when you are hungry, but when you have had multiple full meals already, the last thing you'd like to be offered is food. At first it seems that many of the menu items are the same, but the preparation is quite different. I love that nothing is processed here. Even though we eat SO much, it doesn't even compare to the possible harm you can do to your body just eating american processed "food."
Breakfast for me was usually the same. Masala Dosa with coconut chutney and sambar. There were a few other items I tried like the ghee roast, or the egg roast, but the dose became my favorite option. For lunch, we typically ate out somewhere, so I would try any dish I could eat with garlic naan. Here you use your right hand to eat. No forks or spoons, unless you're a foreigner and make a special request for them. It's actually kind of fun, more primal. For dinner, we usually shared at someone's home; a large feast with many side options. Typically there would be a large rice bowl (I love the biryani with cashews and caramelized onions), a veggie salad (diced veggies), a couple meat options, like currie fish or mutton(lamb) and most definitely chicken. If there was dessert, it would be a pudding, or a sweet soft noodle dish with dried fruit. They do have an excellent assortment of goodies at their bakeries; my favorite were these fudge-looking items and they came in a few flavors. Most pastry items used coconut (which grows here) as the sweetener, instead of sugar.
It has been an unbelievable culinary experience. Luckily I didn't experience any bowel discomfort because I never took any pills or vaccinations before coming.

Can't disclose any details about my frustration though, because, legacy you know, surprise – spoilers! It's beyond me how I could spoil this game any further, b
On the occasion of the 2021 People's Choice Top 200 Solo Games, we share some favourite games with you as well. Today JW puts the spotlight on some gems from his collection that didn't make the top 200. Compiling a top 20 is hard for me. There are those all-time greats that I may not have played this year, there are the new hot titles that I may have forgotten all about a year or two from now... I've played over 250 games solo, how to rank them anyway? 🤷🏻 So this year I com
First quarter backtracking
After Zerbique posted what the Bat backed so far this year, I got a call from our boss inquiring what kept me from posting my own overview. I guess my sick leave has been withdrawn. No matter. I am almost able to walk again. So I crawled to the computer and checked my track record. Check the record Check the record Check the guy's track record! Not counting some expansions, I backed 29 games on Kickstarter in 2018. Then 14 in 2019, 7 in 2020. I wanted to keep it at seven this
Aeon's End: Legacy of Gravehold is live
Aeon's End: Legacy of Gravehold launched on Kickstarter yesterday and the campaign will run for 15 more days. You can pledge for the game and its expansion, or combine it with one or more previous editions of Aeon's End. Apart from a big playmat for the nemesis and market, there are now also player mats (for your mage and spells) available as add-ons. Aeon's End is a cooperative deckbuilder, the distinctive feature of which is that you don't shuffle your deck. Legacy of Grave
Aeon's End: Outcasts is live (Aeon's Endless)
And the mystery guest turned out to be... (surprise!) Xaxos. He's bad. He's back. Together with Z'hana - will they be able to save us? Aeon's End: Outcasts, the new standalone expansion to deckbuilder Aeon's End, has launched on Kickstarter today. The campaign will run for 23 days and the game will hopefully be delivered in August. As usual, the base pledge consists of the new standalone box, a small expansion (Return to Gravehold) and a box with stretch goals (Southern Villa
Cream of the crop 2019
We look ahead most of the time, and think of what next to buy or drool over. But at the end of the year it's kind of nice to look back and see what games brought the most joy. Best of the 2019 Kickstarters There were some real good smaller games this year on Kickstarter. I'm looking forward to receiving Pocket Landship, Orchard and Dwarf. The game with the most original theme and thus very intriguing for me was Pangea. It only just lost out to the Kickstarter Game of the Year
Aeon's End Tamed
While punching Aeon's End: New Age I found a mysterious player token. Wild. Wild? I like playing Aeon's End three handed. For the turn order deck, you put in one card for each player plus a "Wild" turn order card. When this wildcard is drawn, players (me) decide which mage will take the turn. This adds a nice, small tactical element to the game. Good fun! But now. In The New Age a "wild token" is added. You give it to one of the three mages. When the wild card is drawn, that
