Advice columns mine a classic formula to stay relevant
By Carlett Spike, CJR
The first advice columns, published in the 1600s, fielded pretty basic questions. While revolutionary for their time, people asked about topics ranging from the existential to bodily functions. Like this question featured in The Athenian Mercury: "In what space of time do you think the whole mass of blood circulates through the body?" A simple Google search would be the best way to find that answer today. (About one minute, if you were wondering.)
Long a regular feature in newspapers, magazines, and online, the advice-column format has stood the test of time better than most classic newspaper staples, weathering the rise of the radio, the internet, and livestreaming. In fact, topical publications and social media have yielded an array of columns that cater to different audiences and niche inquiries—among them are Savage Love, which offers sex advice; Captain Awkward, which caters to geek and nerd culture; and the blog Ask A Manager, which tackles questions on work inquiries and etiquette.
The most successful columnists bring voice and personality to their work, but also give honest advice, veteran columnist say. The resulting direct connection with audiences, forming relationships that predate social media, explain why columns are still so popular today. A similar level of interaction is missing in other sections of media.
Outside of one sided letters to the editor, advice columns allow for an "unedited" window into the thoughts and feelings of readers. "They are the lightning conductors of social unease," Bob Franklin writes in his 2008 book, Pulling Newspapers Apart: Analysing Print Journalism. He goes on to argue that other sections of the newspaper trivialize personal problems. That's why advice columns continue to be valued because they listen and respect the problems readers share.
"If you want to know what's really going on in America, seriously, read advice columns," says E. Jean Carroll of Elle's column, Ask E. Jean, in an interview with CJR. "That's where people's anxieties, frustrations, addictions, their day-to-day problems are."
Advice columnists who spoke to CJR found their role among media to be twofold: first to entertain, and second to actually help people. Cary Tennis, who wrote the column Since You Asked for Salon until 2013, then moved it to his own website, tells CJR what first attracts readers are problems that people write in with. "People's lives are fascinating; people's problems are fascinating," he says.

Readers trust columnists and fellow readers with many of their most intimate problems. A few examples include this letter addressed to Dear Prudence from a reader who discovered her boyfriend was secretly taping her to make sure she was actually home when she said. A reader wrote in to The New York Times' Social Q's column to ask whether it's appropriate to offer to pay for a friend to go to therapy the friend can't afford. And this heartbreaking letter to Ask Andrew WK asks how to continue living after a fiance's sudden and unexpected death.
The second role of advice columnists is to offer guidance and help to readers. "People are trying to pretend that they feel assured about things," says Steve Almond, one half of the Dear Sugar column he runs with Cheryl Strayed through the catchall creative site The Rumpus and the radio version on WBUR-FM in Boston. He adds, " Nobody ever says, 'my gosh life is confusing. I don't know what to do. Gee that sounds awful.' It's like you're sort of forbidden to express doubt and uncertainty in our culture."
As much as columnists choose to feature letters they feel would benefit a wide range of their audience, they also offer help offline and off-air. Elle's advice columnist, Carroll, tells CJR she remembers a high school senior who wrote in asking how to make money because she could not afford shoes to match her prom dress. "Well, her question was not going to run in the magazine. We have a long lead time," says Carroll. "So I just sent her the money."

Amy Dickinson, the New York based author of the syndicated Ask Amy column, which is featured in more than 150 newspapers including The Denver Post and Chicago Tribune, says she uses her columns as a critical-thinking exercise whenever she is invited to speak with middle schoolers. She brings in questions she's received from other kids and has students come up with their own responses. "I think that's a really great exercise because honestly underneath it all, I think that my goal for others is that they should really develop their own strong internal voice that tells them they already know what to do."
One particular topic appearing more and more are letters on the current political climate and how to deal with president Donald Trump. One letter to the NYMag advice column Ask Polly asks, "How can I keep my relationship healthy in this political climate? We're going to go to therapy, but how can I help my husband unpack his privilege?"
Cary Tennis, who started writing the column Since You Asked in 2001, says he saw a similar angst in letters when George W. Bush came to power.
The Washington Post advice columnist, Carolyn Hax, tells CJR that figuring out how to deal with Trump is something she has given a lot of thought to lately. While she gets letters from people who are really stressed out, she also gets letters asking for a different conversation because Trump is just everywhere these days.
She decided to feature Trump less, but guide readers with the right tools to handle the situation. "I could provide a place where people could step back and regroup, but also connect. It's not a perfect solution, but I'm trying it." Hax adds, "You can talk about healthy communications, healthy perceptions, and healthy actions and that can be useful to people who are heavily involved [in politics]."

The World Sikh Organization of Canada helped Master Seaman Wanda McDonald become the first Sikh woman to wear the turban while serving in the Royal Canadian Navy (RCN).
McDonald, a Sonar operator based out of Halifax, Nova Scotia, joined the RCN in 1997 and became interested in the Sikh faith three years ago. After deciding to become an initiated or amritdhari Sikh, she requested permission to wear the turban on duty.
The WSO regularly provides information to the Canadian Forces with respect to Sikh practices and articles of faith.
When McDonald made her request to wear the turban, the WSO was once again consulted and provided information and advice on the significance of the turban to both Sikh men and women.
McDonald has now been given permission and has begun to wear her turban full time while on duty.

Download Miracast for PC, Windows 11/10/8/7 & MAC
In this article Will guide you on Downloading and Installing Miracast App for PC Windows and Mac.
What is Miracast?
Miracast (WiFi display) is a powerful screencasting app that enables users to mirror content from their personal computers to TV Screens using a direct WiFi connection. As both of Apple's operating systems do not support Miracast, the app can only work for PC Windows and Android devices.
Nowadays, Mirrorcast is commonplace for sharing content between a computer, a TV, a monitor, and a projector. We no longer have to deal with lots of tangled wires just to share a screen from one device to another. This is because we can now transfer content from one device to another. Despite making things easier with HDMI cables, it was still merely a cable and not an ideal solution for every situation.
Later, Miracast started taking advantage of the power of WiFi for wireless screen sharing. At that time, almost all of the latest devices, including smartphones, laptops, PCs, and projectors, had this capability. Wi-Fi revolutionized data transfer because it could handle massive amounts of data at a rapid pace and without a lot of delays. Considering a typical scenario, the range was also adequate for a small conference room.
In Miracast, users can share content from one device with another through a peer-to-peer (P2P) connection. It is usually necessary to have a TV with a built-in Miracast (or a Miracast dongle if the TV is not Miracast-compatible) and a Miracast-capable device. The MiraCast app lets you cast Hotstar content to a smart tv from a smartphone.
Features of Miracast App
Direct streaming from your device
P2P WiFi Direct Standard
Secure mirroring and connections
Free screencasting
Screencast in the current WiFi network.
Allows up to 1080p HD video
1 surround sound system support.
Download Miracast App for PC free
Name Miracast (Wifi Display)
4.0.3 and up
Installing Miracast App for Windows and Mac using Bluestacks
From the website, you can download the app for Windows and Mac. Getting the app for Windows and Mac is as easy as downloading it from the official website. You can also use the Miracast Android app for Windows or Mac if you choose. If that's Case, an Android emulator may be necessary.
Download Bluestacks: Download BlueStacks App for PC – Windows 10/8/7 & Mac
Step 3: Enter 'Miracast' in the Google play store search bar.
Step 5: You can now use the Miracast App on your Windows and Mac computer.
Miracast Alternatives
This app is an alternative to Miracast (WiFi display) and allows seamless streaming between Android/iOS devices, Mac/Windows computer, and TV Screens. This mirroring app supports other useful functions, such as taking screenshots and phone screen recording. The mouse and keyboard on your PC can also be used to control Android devices.
AirServer
This is an Airplay mirroring app that allows the streaming of information from iOS devices to Mac/PC. This app can also mirror information from the PC to bigger screens when computers are connected to the alternative display. It allows for the streaming of audio, videos, and photos.
Miracast PC is one of the best wireless display apps to use if you are tired of carrying audio/video cables or if your PC does not have Bluetooth or HDMI ports. Create a secure high-speed P2P connection with Miracast, and see the bigger picture.

Being addicted to drugs is dangerous, and because of that, parents and other adults talk a lot about drug prevention. Drug prevention is a way of making people understand how dangerous drugs are so that they are not tempted to try them. While it might seem easy to stay away from drugs, there are times when it may seem hard to do, especially at school. For instance, if people at school are taking drugs or talking about them, their friends might feel left out or uncool if they refuse to try drugs with them. A lot of times, peer pressure like this is why children and teens first start taking drugs. Understanding the risks of both legal and illegal drug abuse and addiction is the first step toward keeping drugs away from schools, which is why drug awareness programs are often the best form of drug prevention.
There are two different types of drugs: legal drugs and illegal drugs. Legal drugs are medications such as cold medicine or ibuprofen that adults buy to use when someone is sick. Other legal drugs are medications that come from a prescription that is written by a doctor. These medications can be helpful for people who are sick, but they can hurt people who do not need them. Legal drugs should only be taken when a trusted adult (such as a parent or school nurse) gives them to make sure that it is the right medication and that the correct amount is taken. Unfortunately, though, there are a lot of people who take legal drugs given by a doctor when they don't need to. This is because they are easy to get and some people think that they are safer to take than illegal drugs. This is not true. Legal drugs prescribed for someone else or taken in higher doses than recommended by a doctor are very dangerous and can cause serious damage to the body or even death. If you see someone with legal drugs in school, you should tell a teacher immediately; any medication that kids actually need should be kept at the nurse's office.
Illegal drugs are ones that cannot be found in a store and are never given by a doctor. They are always unsafe, even when taken in small amounts. There are many different types of illegal drugs, including popular ones such as marijuana, cocaine, and heroin. These drugs can be smoked, snorted, taken like a pill, or even injected with a needle. These drugs are illegal, and if a person is caught with them, they can be sent to jail, even if they didn't actually use any of the drugs. Since these drugs are dangerous and illegal, tell an adult right away if someone offers you any of them.
When a person takes legal or illegal drugs that they are not supposed to take, they cannot function normally. They become "high" on the drug, and during the high, they often act strangely and can become dangerous to themselves or others. Some people like the feeling of being high because it allows them to escape the problems that they face in their real lives. They may only plan to use drugs once or twice, but their mind and body eventually become addicted to the drugs. Because they are addicted to the drugs and the way that they make them feel, they have a hard time if they try to stop taking them. People addicted to drugs act differently than they did before they were addicted and may need help from a professional to stop. If a person does not stop using drugs, they may take too much of the drug, which can cause them to be hospitalized or even to die. Other times, people who are addicted to drugs are sent to prison for things that they do while they are taking drugs. If they were not high on drugs, they probably would not be doing these illegal things.
The addiction to drugs is hard to stop once it starts. Even when people recover from their addictions, it is a battle that they keep fighting every day. Drug abuse harms bodies, but it also ruins lives. Drugs can push away families, friends, careers, college scholarships, and so much more. Understanding the risks associated with drug use and drug addiction makes it a lot easier to say no to drugs, although peer pressure at school is still one of the biggest challenges that children and teens face. To practice drug prevention at school, inform others about the dangers of drugs, always say no to drugs, and stay in the company of others who feel the same way. Finally, always report any information about drug abuse you see to a parent or teacher. It may seem uncool to tell on friends, but it may just save someone's life.

Rob, please do. I've been really enjoying the stories coming out of the Significant Objects project.


Indian IT industrialist and the Co-Founder of Infosys; N. R. Narayana Murthy told Press Trust of India (PTI), that emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning will not render people jobless in the future, but rather create more opportunities for humans. Emphasizing that technology provides an opportunity for people to move from drudgery to tasks that require more human touch.
"AI definitely is a very important topical area of computer sciences. AI, machine learning, big data analytics, Internet of Things (IoT), these are all areas which are likely to make the lives of human beings even more comfortable," Murthy told PTI.
Giving the example of the US, the UK, and Japan, which embraced technology early on, Murthy noted that these countries have been able to reduce unemployment rates to single digits.
According to a report by the World Economic Forum (WEF), the rapid evolution of machines and algorithms in the workplace could create 133 million new roles in place of 75 million that will be displaced by 2022.
"If you observe the economic history of this world in the last 50 years when computers started playing a bigger role, you can realize that those countries that absorb technology more enthusiastically, have reduced their unemployment much more than those which did not embrace technology," Murthy said.
"What technology does is it provides an opportunity for human beings to move from drudgery tasks to tasks that require more and more human touch," he added.
Murthy noted the ATMs are a classic example of technology making human lives easier as they have removed "this whole drudgery of tellers" and brought the convenience of withdrawing money from a nearby machine whenever you want, and at any time.
"I am not a believer that technology will render societies into a state of higher and higher unemployment," he said on the sidelines of the Infosys Prize—an annual award given to scientists, researchers, engineers and social scientists by the Infosys Science Foundation and ranks among the highest monetary awards in India to recognize research.

Джулиано Фигерас (; род. 24 января 1976, Арцано) — итальянский шоссейный велогонщик, выступавший на профессиональном уровне в период 1998—2007 годов. Чемпион мира среди андеров, участник многих престижных гонок на шоссе, в том числе супервеломногодневок «Джиро д'Италия» и «Вуэльта Испании».

Биография
Джулиано Фигерас родился 24 января 1976 года в городе Арцано региона Кампания, Италия.

Любительская карьера
На юниорском уровне добился побед в таких гонках как «Коппа д'Оро» (1992), «Трофео Тоско-Умбро» (1993), «Трофео Буффони» (1994).

Впервые заявил о себе на международном уровне в сезоне 1995 года, когда вошёл в состав итальянской национальной сборной и побывал на молодёжном чемпионате Европы в Чехии, откуда привёз награду бронзового достоинства, выигранную в зачёте групповой гонки.

В 1996 году одержал победу в групповой молодёжной гонке на шоссейном чемпионате мира в Лугано. Добавил в послужной список ещё несколько побед на различных гонках в Италии.

Профессиональная карьера
Дебютировал на профессиональном уровне в сезоне 1998 года, присоединившись к итальянской команде Mapei. В частности, достаточно успешно выступил в «Туре Лангкави», где выиграл один из этапов и стал вторым в генеральной классификации. Также в этом сезоне впервые проехал супервеломногодневку «Вуэльта Испании».

В 1999 году впервые принял участие в гранд-туре «Джиро д'Италия», был лучшим на «Мемориале Рика Ван Стенбергена», выиграл отдельные этапы «Тура Романдии», «Тура Валлонии» и «Недели Каталонии».

В 2000 году был лучшим на «Гран-при Кьяссо», вновь участвовал в «Джиро д'Италия», но вынужден был сойти с дистанции на седьмом этапе.

Начиная с 2001 года представлял итальянскую проконтинентальную команду Ceramiche Panaria–Fiordo. В новом коллективе сразу же отметился победой на «Джиро дель Венето», закрыл десятку сильнейших в генеральной классификации «Джиро д'Италия» и занял 29 место на «Вуэльте Испании». Стартовал на шоссейном чемпионате мира в Лиссабоне, показав в групповой гонке седьмой результат.

В 2002 году выиграл гонку «Джиро дель Аппеннино», стал вторым на «Гран-при Индустрия и Артиджанато ди Ларчано» и третьим на «Трофи Панталика».

Вновь был лучшим на «Гран-при Кьяссо» в 2003 году, занял 28 место на «Джиро д'Италия».

В 2004 году одержал победу в многодневной гонке «Международная неделя Коппи и Бартали», финишировал вторым на «Джиро дель Аппеннино» и седьмым на «Тиррено — Адриатико».

С 2005 года состоял в команде Lampre, где провёл три сезона. По окончании сезона 2007 года принял решение завершить карьеру профессионального велогонщика.

TMZ: Pet Owners Show Sympathy to Late NBA Legend Kobe Bryant by Naming Their Pets in His Honor
By Cathrine Mabvudza
The world is still mourning the loss of one of the greatest NBA players of our time, Kobe Bryant, who tragically passed away in a helicopter crash in January. Fans have been finding ways to keep the "Black Mamba" spirit alive.
Los Angeles Lakers basketball player Kobe Bryant was tragically killed in a helicopter on January 26, along with his daughter, Gianna "Gigi" Bryant, and seven others.
Family, friends, and fans were shocked to learn of his passing, and nearly 11 months later, the loss is still heartbreaking. However, fans have found a way to keep his spirit alive by naming their pets in honor of the late NBA legend.

TMZ reported that an increased number of pets had been named for the fallen star. The name "Mamba" recorded a 111% increase while "Black Mamba" recorded a 58% increase.
At the time of reporting, the name "Kobe" was up by 16%, while his daughter's nickname "Gigi" also spiked by 20% since 2019. Similar stats were reported with boys' names as well.
The late basketball legend will also be posthumously honored in May 2021 when the NBA inducts the 18-time All-star champion into the NBA Hall of Fame.
The event originally set for August 2020 was postponed amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. In November, the NBA announced that the ceremony would be held from May 13 to May 15.
Kobe will be joining other iconic basketball players honored at the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame located in Springfield, Massachusettes.
Fellow NBA players Tim Duncan and Kevin Garnett will also be honored at the ceremony next year, and the trio will join the ranks of Michael Jordan and Shaquille O'Neal.
Aside from his basketball career, Kobe had also ventured into film and excelled. After retiring from basketball in 2016, he penned an emotional poem, "Dear Basketball," which was turned into a short film with the help of film industry professionals.
The heartwarming short film was aired at the Tribeca Film Festival in 2017 and earned the basketball legend the Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film in 2018.

This was one of many recommended restaurants in Yanagawa for Unagi. As I visited Yanagawa with a discounted set of tickets that covered my train rides, boat ride and food, I was given a few different restaurants around the town to choose from that would be covered. After walking a bit down the road of where our boat docked, I looked at the menus and reviews from a few of the restaurants and decided to visit this shop as it seemed the most favourable.
My discounted ticket covered their basic unagi bento, but if you are feeling particularly hunger, you can upgrade to bigger sets for a few extra dollars. Honestly, the unagi was generous in serving here, and steaming hot! My favourite thing about unagi bentos is when the unagi sauce is absorbed into the rice, it's super delicious!
The entire meal was absolutely amazing and I would definitely recommend visiting this restaurant if you find yourself in Yanagawa!

Supreme Court of Korea has ruled that Bitcoin is a legally recognizable asset. This clarifies the legal situation for South Korean Bitcoin traders and holders.
Popular US exchange, Coinbase, has applied to the SEC for broker dealer status. Coinbase recently acquired several companies in order to qualify. If approved, Coinbase will be allowed to offer products and services unrelated to cryptocurrency, and to offer trade in SEC-approved ICO tokens.
The head of the SEC, Jay Clayton, stated that cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin are not securities but rather replacements for traditional currencies. This effectively places such cryptocurrencies beyond the regulatory reach of the SEC. As distinct from cryptocurrencies, ICOs remain under the agency's remit.
Fidelity Investment, a firm with $2.5 trillion under management, placed a recruitment ad for a developer to build a digital asset exchange. Another ad from the firm revealed plans to create a crypto wallet. The firm's CEO, Abigail Johnson, spoke about Bitcoin in positive terms in mid-2017.
Finally, hardware wallet manufacturer, Ledger, revealed its new desktop-based wallet software. This ends the company's reliance on Chrome browser integrations for its wallet app.

OBJECTIVE: To systematically review the literature and assess the diagnostic value of biomarkers in detection of late-onset left ventricular (LV) dysfunction in childhood cancer survivors (CCS) treated with anthracyclines. METHODS: We systematically searched the literature for studies that evaluated the use of biomarkers for detection of LV dysfunction in CCS treated with anthracyclines more than 1 year since childhood cancer diagnosis. LV dysfunction definitions were accepted as an ejection fraction <50% or <55% and/or a fractional shortening <28%, <29% or <30%. Contingency tables were created to assess diagnostic accuracies of biomarkers for diagnosing LV dysfunction. RESULTS: Of 1362 original studies screened, eight heterogeneous studies evaluating four different biomarkers in mostly asymptomatic CCS were included. In four studies, an abnormal N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP, cut-off range 63-125 ng/L) had low sensitivity (maximally 22%) and a specificity of up to 97% for detection of LV dysfunction. For troponin levels, in five studies one patient had an abnormal troponin value as well as LV dysfunction, while in total 127 patients had LV dysfunction without troponin elevations above cut-off values (lowest 0.01 ng/mL). Two studies that evaluated brain natriuretic peptide and nitric oxide were underpowered to draw conclusions. CONCLUSIONS: In individual studies, the diagnostic value of NT-proBNP for detection of LV dysfunction in CCS is limited. Troponins have no role in detecting late-onset LV dysfunction with cut-off values as low as 0.01 ng/mL. Further study on optimal NT-proBNP cut-off values for rule out or rule in of LV dysfunction is warranted.

Ironside's Notes
Ironside's Notes on Selected Books
The Two Anointed Ones
The striking vision next recorded, being the fifth in the series, is of prime importance to any reverent student of the word of God. Not only does it set forth precious and important truth relative to Israel, as God's light-bearer in the world, but it is the only instance where the typical meaning of oil is distinctly explained. It gives us therefore an unerring key whereby to unlock many of the treasures of symbolic teaching throughout the Old Testament.
The prophet seems to have fallen into a slumber after the interpretation of the previous vision; for we are told that the angel who had been speaking with him came again, and waked him, as a man is waked out of his sleep, saying, "What seest thou?" (vers. 1, 2). Zechariah looked, and beheld a sight of great beauty and splendor. A golden lamp-stand, evidently somewhat similar in construction to that which is described in Exodus 25:31-37, appeared before his eyes. But in one marked respect it differed from that whose lamps the priest had to carefully fill daily lest they should be extinguished. Here no human hand provided the oil, nor was responsible to maintain the light of testimony. The stand and its lamps were of one piece, and the latter were continually supplied in a most remarkable manner. Upon the top of the central shaft was a golden bowl, or fountain. From this radiated seven pipes, which connected with the seven lamps. On either side of the stand an olive tree was growing, the branches of which were represented as bending over the receiver-fountain, and pouring their oil into it in a continual stream. Thus the light was ever maintained in its beauty and power (vers. 2, 3).
In response to Zechariah's request for enlightenment as to the meaning of this, the angel said, "This is the word of the Lord unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit, saith the Lord of hosts. Who art thou, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof with shoutings, crying, Grace, grace unto it."
Here was no meaningless oracle, such as those of heathen sybils, but a plain declaration that just as the oil pouring into the golden bowl fed the lamps, so the Holy Spirit would confirm and unfailingly furnish Israel to be Jehovah's testimony-bearer in the earth. He who had brought up a remnant from Babylon under Zerubbabel, the prince of David's line, would infallibly fulfil every promise made through His holy prophets. Human power and might could neither hinder nor help. The Holy Spirit alone could sustain and maintain them as His light in the world. Thus we know what oil typifies. It speaks ever of the Spirit of God, whether as anointer or earnest. In His divine power alone can any testimony be carried on for God at any time. During the present dispensation of Israel's scattering, the Church is the light-bearer, even as her Lord was while here upon the earth. By and by, when Israel shall be restored in the saved remnant, she will once more become God's witness. But whether with the blessed Lord Himself, the Church His Body, or Israel His people, all true testimony is in the energy of the Holy Spirit.
Endued by power divine, who need fear the face of man? Before Zerubbabel and the feeble remnant in the land, Gentile authority might seem like a great mountain, hindering all progress in the special work committed to them. Only unbelief could so count it. Faith would say to the mount of difficulty, "Become a plain," and so it should be. No weapon formed against them should prosper, no arm should be strong enough to hinder, till the temple was completed to the glory of Jehovah, and Zerubbabel should bring forth the capstone amid the shoutings of a rejoicing people, crying, "Grace, grace unto it?" (vers. 4-7).
Even so shall every promise made in the word of God be fulfilled to the letter. In this case he who had begun the house should finish it (see Ezra 3:10-15 and 6:14-18); thus proving that a prophet had been among them. It was a day of weakness, a day of small things; but they should not despise it, for it was the day of Jehovah's energy. The nations of the earth might be utterly indifferent to what was transpiring at the insignificant place where the Lord had set His Name; but there He was, working in mighty power, nevertheless. There the plummet of truth was in the hands of Zerubbabel, and the people wrought according as they found it written. There too the eyes of the Lord rested with complacency, after running to and fro through the whole earth (vers. 9, 10).
In God's sight it was "a great work" that was going on in Jerusalem, for it was the carrying out of His own word, with a view to the coming of His Son into the scene.
On one other point Zechariah desired enlightenment. He had been contemplating the two olive trees, wondering what they might signify; so he inquired boldly of the angel, asking for information regarding them. It would seem as though there was slowness of apprehension on his part; for he not only had to put his question twice over, but the angel did not immediately reply, but questioned him, as in verse 5, where it seemed as though spiritual intuition ought to have made all clear, saying, "Knowest thou not what these be?" Confessing his ignorance, Zechariah is told that, "These are the two anointed ones, that stand by the Lord of the whole earth."
To him the two anointed ones could be no other than Zerubbabel, the prince, and Joshua the high priest. So in kingly and priestly power the testimony of God was to be maintained. These were the agencies through which Jehovah would work.
In Revelation 11:4 the two witnesses are said to be "the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth." The reference is clearly to Zechariah's vision; yet there is a marked difference. There we have two candlesticks; here, but one. The reason is plainly this: the two witnesses come on the scene before Israel is established as God's lamp-stand nationally. With them it is individual testimony. Therefore in place of one seven-branched lamp-stand, setting forth completeness of testimony we have two witnesses described as two lamp-stands. And they are also said to be the two olive trees; for they stand before God as His anointed sons of oil in the day when His name is denied and His word despised. Coming in the spirit and power of Moses and Elijah, they prophesy in the energy of the Spirit till put to death by the Beast and his adherents. Thus, for the moment, all testimony for God will seem to have been blotted out; but the word of the Lord shall not fail, for the seven-branched lamp-stand shall be set up when the Lord descends and delivers His people Israel out of the hands of all who oppress them.

The New President of Jobbik and His Scandalous Past
Márton Gyöngyösi
Márton Gyöngyösi, the new president of the party proposed to draw up a list of Jewish people in the country, since he thought they are a risk to national security.
Jobbik's new president, Márton Gyöngyösi has a scandalous past behind him. In 2012 he proposed that a list of Jewish people in the country and within the government should be drawn up to assess the national security risk they pose.
Jobbik was the runner-up in the 2022 elections in Hungary. The party garnered the second largest support behind Fidesz-KDNP in the Parliamentary elections. Since then, however, the party has started to fall apart. Scandal after scandal, and feuds within their ranks split the faction.
Péter Jakab, the previous president, had the support of his party in the spring of 2022. He was elected for a term of two years. After his election, however, he became involved in a sex scandal of the party, and not much later (after he had resigned) he gave a position with an enormous remuneration to his lover. When the news of this misstep broke, merely a month after his re-election, he stepped down.
Jobbik elected their new president, Márton Gyöngyösi, on the 2nd of July, with what can be called a landslide victory, as he gathered 68 per cent of the votes. Gyöngyösi's past, however, merits analysis and scrutiny to understand the decision of the party.
Jobbik is a party that started out as far-right, and later, mostly under the leadership of Jakab started to pull toward the left. Gyöngyösi's past correlates with the original ideas of the faction. In 2012 in the Hungarian national assembly he declared that he thinks every representative of Jewish descent should be put on a list. In his own words:
'It is about time that we research how many of us living here (Hungary), and especially how many of us in the parliament and in the government are of Jewish decent that pose a national security risk against Hungary. I think that Hungary needs a list like that.' At the time his party did not dissociate themselves from the statement.
In the same year he was sued by the Socialist Party (MSZP) for Holocaust denial after Gyöngyösi gave a statement to The Jewish Chronicle where he questioned the number of victims in the Holocaust, and the fact that over 400,000 Hungarian Jews were either murdered or deported during the Second World War.
While he apparently does not approve of Jews, he is more than happy to build relations with Russia. In 2014 he observed elections in the Donetsk and Luhansk People's Republics – neither of which were recognized by the EU at the time. According to press reports, because of his visits he was banned from entering Ukraine.
He also responded positively to the annexation of the Crimean Peninsula. After the referendum in Crimea he stated that 'Jobbik sees the vote as a victory. The referendum is legitimate and valid'. Following the annexation, in 2015, he was invited to Crimea, where he was supposed to represent Jobbik, however, that trip did not materialize.
Since then, he has had a change of heart regarding many topics. Currently he is fighting for the adoption of more economic sanctions against Russia.
His Support
The parties on the left that are at present allied with Jobbik have not issued statements commenting on the election of the new president. At this point, none of them has expressed support for or distanced themselves from him. However, Tímea Szabó of Párbeszéd previously stated that Gyöngyösi is unfit to be a representative. Earlier, Ágnes Vadai of DK simply wanted to dissolve Jobbik, while Ferenc Gyurcsány stated that one 'cannot come to an agreement with Nazis' and reminded his voters of Gyöngyösi's proposal to have a 'Jewish list'. Despite these scathing statements, left-wing parties did not hesitate much to enter an election alliance with Jobbik earlier this year.
Gyöngyösi as the Last Resort?
To summarize, Gyöngyösi's controversial track record raises serious doubts about suitability for the job of president of one of the largest parties. The perhaps saddening fact is that the party has no other candidates left. After the wave of scandals, and many of their representatives turning their backs on the faction, Gyöngyösi might be the best of the rest. Jobbik essentially had no one else to choose.

Q: Read and use data in a table I want to read the content of an ASCII table, and do some calculations with the elements in different columns of the table. How do I do that?
As an example, the table has 1000 rows, each one with X and Y. What should I do to get X-Y for each possible combination of rows?
In Fortran this is something like:
do i=1,1000
do j=1,1000
diff=x(i)-y(j)
enddo
enddo

any suggestion for the python way?

A: It's pretty straight-forward, but this forum is for specific question; this means you should make an attempt to get started on Python, and then if you get stuck on something specific, someone will be glad to help you.
Since it seems you have a background in Fortran, here is a blog for Fortran programmers who are moving to Python:

United For Care tries again for Florida medical marijuana
By The News Service of Florida Friday, Jun 19, 2015 9:13 AM
TALLAHASSEE — Last week, Orlando trial lawyer John Morgan wrote a $150,000 check to jump-start an effort to get a medical-marijuana initiative back on the ballot in 2016.
This week, United for Care — the political group behind the proposal — started hiring petition-gatherers to ensure the group doesn't get caught playing catch-up again.
Garnering more than 58 percent of the vote last November, a medical-marijuana initiative fell just short of the 60 percent approval required for constitutional changes. Morgan, who spent at least $5 million on the effort last year, is determined to give voters another stab at a revised version. Supporters hope heavier voter turnout for the presidential election will push the pot initiative above the 60 percent threshold.
United for Care campaign manager Ben Pollara said he thinks the group will need about $3 million to cover the costs of professional petition-gatherers and legal fees to get the initiative on the ballot. Pollara said he plans to have the paid workers fanned out statewide by July 1.
Pollara needs to turn in 683,149 valid petition signatures to the Department of State by Feb. 1 to get on the ballot. First, the group has to submit 10 percent of those petitions to the Florida Supreme Court to trigger a review of the revamped initiative, now entitled "Use of Medical Marijuana for Debilitating Conditions."
United for Care spent more than $4.5 million last year on legal fees, including the Supreme Court vetting of the proposal. Pollara anticipates a smaller legal tab for the 2016 initiative, as the court already approved last year's measure and the new version has been tweaked to accommodate concerns of the justices and opponents.
But Pollara estimates his organization will have to spend up to another $7 million on advertising. Last year, an opposition group called the Drug Free Florida Committee collected more than $6 million — including $5.5 million from Las Vegas casino magnate Sheldon Adelson — to fight the measure.
"We don't need to out-communicate the opposition. We don't even need to match the opposition. But we do need to get out our message," Pollara said Thursday.
Morgan pledged "to do whatever it takes to put medical marijuana back to the people of Florida" in a video distributed last week. Supporters can't rely on the Legislature to legalize marijuana for sick patients, Morgan said.
"Listen, they ignored us last time. But they won't be able to ignore us next time," he said.

Miami-Dade considers decriminalizing marijuana possession
By The Associated Press Wednesday, Jun 17, 2015 12:26 PM
— People caught with small amounts of marijuana could soon get a civil citation instead of a jail term in Florida's largest county, which may become the first in the state to treat marijuana possession as a non-criminal act.
The Miami-Dade County Commission is considering a proposal to let police issue $100 civil citations for possessing small amounts of marijuana as an alternative to a misdemeanor arrest.
The proposal, approved by a committee last week, will go before the full commission June 30. If it passes, Mayor Carlos Gimenez will have the final say. The ordinance would also cover such low-level offenses as loitering, littering and shopping cart theft.
County Commissioner Sally Heyman said her measure seeks to spare people a criminal record for possessing less than 20 grams of marijuana and would reduce the economic burden on the criminal justice system. Heyman said the county spends about $43 million a year to arrest and process minor marijuana cases and the other low-level offenses. She said issuing citations instead would allow the county to use that money for other projects. She would also support a statewide effort to do the same.
"We give people who make a mistake a chance and we don't label them and put them into a system with extreme violent characteristics," she said.
Heyman said police officers would still have discretion to make arrests under the state misdemeanor possession statute, which calls for a maximum fine of $1,000 and up to a year in jail. They would have to press misdemeanor charges if the possession is connected to crimes such as driving under the influence and domestic violence.
Commissioner Javier Souto, the only committee member to vote against the proposal, called it "decriminalization" and said it is a "slippery slope" that could lead to a future of similar tolerance with drugs like heroin and cocaine.
"This is the easy way out," he said. "The effort should be made in education that addiction is bad."
Heyman was adamant the measure will not decriminalize marijuana in the county, where she said possession will continue to be illegal. But she said it could spare many, especially minorities, the lifelong penalties that come with a criminal record.
Paul Armentano, deputy director of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, said the proposal amounts to decriminalization in his view. He added that similar laws have already been enacted in 14 states.
"The majority of the public believes that criminalization of cannabis is a disproportionate punishment to behavior that is at its worst a public health concern and not one that should be a criminal justice concern," he said.
He said the enforcement of marijuana laws tends to disproportionately fall upon blacks, Latinos and young people. A 2013 report by the American Civil Liberties Union found that blacks are almost four times more likely than whites to be arrested for marijuana possession.
Armentano said leaving enforcement to police discretion could be a problem because it could vary dramatically between officers, but Miami Beach Police Chief Dan Oates is already preparing guidelines as his city gets ready to adopt a similar measure. Oates' policy will call for arresting people who smoke marijuana in public, possess it while in a vehicle or have marijuana that appears to be intended for sale.
"The one thing I don't want is one cop writing a ticket and the other arresting," he said.

Florida to begin accepting non-euphoric marijuana applications
By Michael Pollick Monday, Jun 15, 2015 4:59 PM
After more than a year of delays, the Florida Department of Health on Wednesday will begin accepting applications for five geographically distributed licenses to grow non-euphoric marijuana, process it into a concentrated oil and market it to epileptics and people with cancer.
It is a process that was expected to get underway last summer, but was prevented when various would-be applicants made legal challenges to the rules.
How many applicants there will be is unknown, but the number has likely dwindled from what it would have been a year ago.
At that time, companies were hooking up with Florida nurseries qualified under the law with the aim off getting a license in advance of the potential passage of the proposed medical marijuana amendment 2, which received 58 percent of the popular vote — 2 percentage points less than the 60 percent required for ratification.
The applications must be made by Florida nurseries that have been in existence for 30 years or longer and have 400,000 or more plants under cultivation.
"Ninety-two nurseries are eligible to apply," said David Kotler, a Boca Raton attorney who specializes in medical marijuana legal consulting. "The scuttlebutt was 15 were probably capable of applying. Frankly I think the number is going to be a little less."
The Southwest Florida license takes in a north-to-south strip of Hillsborough, Sarasota, Manatee, Charlotte and Collier counties.
The South Florida license covers the largest portion of Florida's population. Using conservative estimates, Kotler and a client figured they should only count on 1,400 monthly clients. "The expected revenue was pretty good after ramp-up, but start-up costs were high," he said.
Overall, it will cost each successful license winner more than $2 million just to set up shop. Submitting an application requires a $63,000 nonrefundable fee. If successful in winning a license, the enterprise must post a $5 million bond, which costs $50,000 to $300,000 per year to maintain. Building an indoor grow operation could cost $1.75 million or more. The processing plant and lab together would bring that total to a minimum of $2.25 million.
Officials at Sarasota County's AltMed LLC, which in the past has described a working relationship with a qualified Sarasota County nursery, on Monday declined to comment on whether they would be part of an application by July 8, when the state's narrow window will close.
The health department now claims it could have the extract in the hands of patients by the end of 2015, but potential suppliers say spring 2016 would be more likely.

Florida lawyer wants Hillary to loosen up on pot
By Online Staff Wednesday, May 27, 2015 4:35 PM
Florida attorney and medical marijuana backer John Morgan
In Florida this week, Democratic presidential candidate candidate is expected to get a lecture on the virtues of marijuana by Orlando plaintiff's attorney John Morgan, reports The Daily Beast.
Morgan's sizable bank account and extraordinary candor have made him one of the Sunshine State's most powerful politicos—and one of its most formidable. Democratic candidates line up to kiss his ring, and Democratic presidents swing by his house when they're in town.
And, unlike gaffe-shy political candidates, Morgan seems to have zero qualms when it comes to speaking his mind.
So Clinton might get an earful.
Hillary is incredibly wishy-washy on one of Morgan's biggest issues: medical marijuana legalization.
Morgan invested substantial money in a 2014 effort to amend the state constitution to allow it, and that push came just short of passing. Morgan says a similar effort will be on the ballot in 2016.
Clinton's stance on medical marijuana is about as obtuse as Morgan's is clear. The former secretary of state has indicated that she's comfortable with the Obama administration's hands-off stance to Washington state and Colorado's legalization of marijuana, but she's also telegraphed some Reaganesque views on the drug war.
"I think the feds should be attuned to the way marijuana is still used as a gateway drug and how the drug cartels from Latin America use marijuana to get footholds in states," she told KPCC radio last July.
Tyler Henson, president of the Colorado Cannabis Chamber of Commerce, said that comment concerns advocates of legal weed.
"I do worry about some of her previous statements that she's made, particularly that it's a gateway drug," he told The Daily Beast. "It makes me feel like she doesn't see the value and the benefits of it."
And Ben Pollara, who worked with Morgan to push for looser marijuana laws in Florida, said her use of the term is a little fuddy-duddy.
"I think that phrase is certainly anachronistic and something that's been refuted over the years," he said. "It's a phrase that you really don't hear that much these days from anybody but the hardcore anti-drug folks."
Morgan told me that he hopes to push Clinton on her stance when she comes by his house.
"I would hope that she's on my side of that issue, but I do not know that answer," he said. "I'm going to find out, though."
"I hope that along this journey that I will help her evolve in her thinking," he added.

Southwest Florida couple to appeal ruling over medical marijuana
By Online Staff Sunday, May 24, 2015 11:02 PM

PARRISH — A Manatee County man who was arrested for growing marijuana in his backyard for his sick wife continues his fight to make medical cannabis legal in Florida, reports Bay News 9.
Despite a proposed law failing in the Florida Legislature and losing a lawsuit in court, Bob Jordan is not giving up.
Jordan's wife, Cathy, has amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS. She smokes marijuana daily to treat her medical condition.
"It's a life and death for me," said Cathy.
Nearly 30 years ago, Cathy was only given three to five years to live. Now at 65 years old, she credits cannabis for still being alive.
In 2013, the Manatee County Sheriff's Office was notified about the Jordan's growing marijuana at their Parrish home.
When deputies arrived to check things out, they removed the plants from the property.
The State Attorney's Office later ruled that no action could be taken, and declined to file charges.
However, the Jordans were never given permission to continue to use the drug for medical purposes.
The couple said this has them fearing they could get in trouble with the law in the future.
"They didn't prosecute us," Bob said. "They felt they couldn't overcome that, but that leaves us in gray area. If a new sheriff comes in or a new prosecutor, we're subject to arrest any time."
To make sure they are safe, the couple is suing the Manatee County Sheriff's Office to prove Cathy needs cannabis for medical relief.
Recently, a judge ruled in the sheriff's office favor. The Jordans said they're not giving up and are appealing.
The Jordans said if they're successful, they think their case could be the turning point for making medical cannabis legal in Florida.
Dave Bristow, a spokesman with the Manatee County Sheriff's Office, said they agree with the judge's ruling and feel they are just doing their job.

United for Care shoots for amendment on 2016 ballot

(Photo/Michael Pollick)
After lawmakers adjourned last week without taking up the medical-marijuana issue, supporters of legalization are gearing up for a renewed attempt to pass a ballot initiative in 2016.
In a statement posted on the website of the advocacy group United for Care, Orlando attorney John Morgan said his "commitment is as strong as ever" to pass a constitutional amendment legalizing medical marijuana.
"I was hoping – like many of you – that our legislators would wake the hell up, realize that the science is there, the will of the people is there, and that a delay not only hurts patients – it's going to hurt them in the next election,'' Morgan said in the statement.
"Make no mistake – I will do what I can to alleviate the pain of those suffering – and make sure those that are responsible for this delay feel pain politically."
683,149 signatures needed
Morgan led efforts to pass a constitutional amendment in 2014, but the proposal fell short of the 60 percent voter approval needed for ballot initiatives. He hoped lawmakers would address legalization during the 60-day legislative session.
Supporters, however, face obstacles in returning to the ballot in 2016.
In part, they will need to submit 683,149 valid petition signatures to the state – and had not submitted any as of Monday morning, according to the Florida Division of Elections website.
Medical marijuana DOA in Tallahassee as House quits three days early

The Florida House of Representatives checked out of Tallahassee three days early on Tuesday, stalling out any potential medical marijuana initiative until 2016.
Jumping on news that the House had adjourned ahead of schedule, medical pot advocates declared the re-launch of their political campaign to get a constitutional amendment on the 2016 Florida ballot, the Miami Herald noted.
"Despite courageous leadership from Senators and Representatives in both houses and both parties, Tallahassee has failed us again," United for Care campaign manager Ben Pollara said in a statement. "Medical marijuana will be on the ballot in 2016 and the voters will pass what the legislature failed to."
The campaign quickly emailed supporters asking for financial contributions.
"We must, again, get almost 700,000 petitions signed and validated," the email reads. "But this time, we have more months to do it, a better informed populace, and momentum." Signature-gathering had been put on hold — or at least not widely pursued — during the annual 60-day session.
But the House's decision to shut things down three days before it was scheduled to do so effectively killed any and all medical marijuana bills for this session. The House cited the ongoing debate over health-care expansion as the reason for closing up shop, reports New Times Broward/Palm Beach and The Associated Press.
Legislators will have to return to pass a budget by the end of June, but that is all they will be able to do.
A narrow law to allow low-potency strains of the drug was passed last year, but has not yet even taken applications from potential grower/processors because of pending legal challenges. Legislators seemed on track to at least tune up that low-THC high-CBD measure, but did not get the job done.
Two other bills that would have come closer to making Florida a medical marijuana state failed to get committee hearings, meaning they backed the backing of House and Senate leadership.
In late January, Sen. Jeff Brandes, (R.-St. Petersburg) introduced the Florida Medical Marijuana Act, which would have authorized a doctor to use medicinal marijuana to treat patients afflicted with similar diseases.
HB 683, sponsored by Rep. Greg Steube (R.-Sarasota) called for a nonsmokable form of medical marijuana that would have been prescribed to patients suffering from cancer, HIV, AIDS, ALS, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, Crohn's disease, Parkinson's disease, or a terminal illness.
"Hundreds of thousands of patients across this state are sick, suffering, and dying, but the House simply quit," Pollara added. "Nearly 3.4 million Floridians voted 'yes' for medical marijuana, but the House simply quit. Despite courageous leadership from senators and representatives in both houses and both parties, Tallahassee has failed us again."
United for Care ran last year's try for a state constitutional amendment to legalize and regulate the medical use of marijuana in the state. There are only two ways to get state law passed in Florida — by the legislature and through a constitutional amendment. But amendments now require a 60 percent favorable vote to win ratification. The so-called Amendment 2 initiative fell 2 percentage points short of passing.
That was as close as Florida has ever come to joining 23 other states and Washington, D.C., in having a bona fide medical marijuana program.
Roughly half a million more voters were in favor of legalizing cannabis than the number that sent Gov. Rick Scott back for a second term.
Florida medical marijuana bill sponsor is not giving up
By Online Staff Wednesday, Apr 22, 2015 10:38 PM
Tampa Bay Times/Herald Tallahassee Bureau
A key senator pushing for a medical marijuana bill to pass this session says its prospects have gone up in smoke, but the bill's sponsor isn't giving up.
"There's still a week and a half left in session," Sen. Rob Bradley, R-Fleming Island, told the Times/Herald. "I'm still open to having dialogue with my fellow senators and members of the House."
Earlier Wednesday, Sen. Jeff Brandes, R-St. Petersburg, said that even a more modest proposal to hasten patient access to cannabis that is low in euphoria-inducing THC is effectively dead this session.
"I think the best plan for us is to work on it over the summer, talk to experts in the field, come back with a bill that is well thought-out, well-researched and is something that is the right thing for Florida," he said.
Bradley and Brandes have been at the forefront of pushing a bill (SB 7066) that would have quickened the implementation of low-THC Charlotte's Web.
Voters will likely see another proposed amendment to the state constitution allowing full-strength medical marijuana in next November's election.

The right of the state to take private property without the property owner's consent. The Fifth Amendment to the US Constitution requires just compensation to be given to the property owner when private property is taken by the federal government. States also have powers of eminent domain. The act of taking the private property is called condemnation or expropriation.

Short Dictionary of (mostly American) Legal Terms and Abbreviations.
the power of a governmental entity (federal, state, county or city government, school district, hospital district or other agencies) to take private real estate for public use, with or without the permission of the owner. The Fifth Amendment to the Constitution provides that "private property [may not] be taken for public use without just compensation." The Fourteenth Amendment added the requirement of just compensation to state and local government takings. The usual process includes passage of a resolution by the acquiring agency to take the property (condemnation), including a declaration of public need, followed by an appraisal, an offer, and then negotiation. If the owner is not satisfied, he/she may sue the governmental agency for a court's determination of just compensation. The government, however, becomes owner while a trial is pending if the amount of the offer is deposited in a trust account. Public uses include schools, streets and highways, parks, airports, dams, reservoirs, redevelopment, public housing, hospitals and public buildings.
