Bloodcurdling CCTV footage shows a speeding Porsche moments before it smashed into a helpless pedestrian, killed only seconds after having performed an act of chivalry.
Maintenance worker Craig Rodger, 25, was left for dead after being struck by the Porsche Panamera travelling at 'motorway speeds' last Monday.
Only moments earlier he had kindly allowed another pedestrian to cross the road before him in an act of chivalry, before entering the road himself and been struck by the vehicle.
He had been crossing Wilbraham Road near to the Spread Eagle pub in Chorlton at around 10.20pm.
Footage shows the top end sports car, with the registration number MX10 0BK, speeding through residential areas before hitting Mr Rodger and leaving him for dead.
The car was found an hour later on Brookburn Road, Chorlton, after it had been abandoned and set on fire.
Mr Rodger was launched into the air due to the speed of the car, suffering multiple injuries and, although immediately attended to by bystanders, died hours later in hospital.
Detective Chief Inspector Colin Larkin has appealed for anybody with information about the driver of the car to come forward and also for the driver to hand himself in.
"I am appealing to the public to tell me who was driving the motor vehicle at the time of the collision," he said.
"I doubt very much that the driver of the car went out that night with the intention of seriously hurting or killing somebody but unfortunately that is what has happened and I urge that person forward to hand themselves in.
"Craig had stopped to let a pedestrian cross the road but after that crossed himself and was hit.
When asked to describe the CCTV footage, Chief Inspector Larkin claimed that although there was no accurate reading of how fast the car was going, it was doing 'motorway speeds'.
"From the footage I have seen that vehicle is driving too fast for the road conditions," he said.
"That person was driving dangerously.
"We don't know whether it was a man or women driving the car but we ask whoever it is to hand themselves in.
"At this stage I'm not sure how many people were in the car at the time of the collision but I would urge any passengers that might have been in the vehicle at the time to come forward.
"They were not driving, they have done nothing wrong.
"If you were in that car you have gone through a horrific incident.
"What you witnessed is awful for you, but not as awful as it is for Craig's family.
Police have arrested two men, aged 32 and 25, on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and one man aged 25 on suspicion of perverting the course of justice.
They have been police bailed till April 28 pending further enquiries.

Q: Solving the initial value problem using odd extention
Solve the initial value problem:
  $$\begin{cases}
u_t = ku_{xx} \ \ &\text{for} \ \ x > 0, t > 0,\\
u(x,0) = e^{-2x} \ \  &\text{for} \ \ x > 0,\\
u(0,t) = 0 \ \  &\text{for} \ \ t > 0\\
\end{cases}$$

Attempted solution - We see that the boundary condition is a Dirichlet boundary condition, thus we have to use the odd reflection to this problem. Let $\phi_{\text{odd}}$ be the unique off extension of $e^{-2x}$, so we have
$$\phi_{\text{odd}} = \begin{cases}
\phi(x) = e^{-2x} \ \ &\text{for} \ \ x > 0\\
-\phi(-x) = -e^{2x} \ \ &\text{for} \ \ x < 0\\
= 0 \ \ &\text{for} \ \ x =0\\
\end{cases}$$
Assume $v(x,t)$ is the solution to
$$\begin{cases}
v_t = k v_{xx} \ \ &\text{for} \ \ x\in \mathbb{R}, t > 0\\
v(x,0) = \phi_{\text{odd}} \ \ &\text{for} \ \ x\in\mathbb{R}
\end{cases}$$
The formula for the heat equation is $$v(x,t) = \int_{-\infty}^{\infty}S(x-y,t)\phi_{\text{odd}} dy$$
where $v(x,t)$ is an odd function of $x$, so $v(0,t) = 0$. Therefore, the boundary condition is satisfied. The restriction is $u(x,t) = v(x,t)$ for $x > 0$ which will be the unique solution of out half-line problem. The explicit formula for $u(x,t)$ is deduced from the latter above. We have $$v(x,t) = \int_{0}^{\infty}S(x-y,t)\phi(y)dy - \int_{-\infty}^{0}S(x-y,t)\phi(-y)dy = \int_{0}^{\infty}\left[ S(x-y,t) - S(x+y,t) \right]\phi(y) dy$$
Hence for $0 < x < \infty$, $0 < t < \infty$ we have
\begin{align*}
u(x,t) &= \frac{1}{\sqrt{4x kt}}\int_{0}^{\infty}\left[ e^{\frac{-(x-y)}{4kt}} - e^{\frac{-(x+y)}{4kt}}\right]\phi(y)dy\\
&= \frac{1}{\sqrt{4x kt}}\int_{0}^{\infty}\left[ e^{\frac{-(x-y)}{4kt}} - e^{\frac{-(x+y)}{4kt}}\right]e^{-2y}dy\\
&= \frac{1}{\sqrt{4x kt}}\int_{0}^{\infty}\left[ e^{\frac{-(x^2 - 2xy + y^2)-2y - 4kt}{4kt}} - e^{\frac{-x^2 + 2xy + y^2 - 2y - 4kt}{4kt}}\right]e^{-2y}dy\\
&= \frac{1}{\sqrt{4x kt}}\left[e^{2x + 4kt}\int_{-\frac{x+4kt}{\sqrt{4kt}}}^{\infty}e^{-p^2}\sqrt{4kt}dp - e^{-2x+4kt}\int_{\frac{x-4kt}{\sqrt{4kt}}}^{\infty}e^{-q^2}\sqrt{4kt}dq \right]\\
&= \vdots\\
&= \frac{1}{2}\left[ e^{2x+4kt}(1 + erf(\frac{x+4kt}{\sqrt{4kt}})) - e^{-2x + 4kt}(1 - erf(\frac{x - 4kt}{\sqrt{4kt}})) \right]
\end{align*}
I am not sure if this is correct. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Q: How do I process files itself as a Item? I'm new to Spring Batch and I have the following requirement. I need to process a zip file that contains PDF, XML and .hsh files. For each XML and PDF, I have an .hsh file that contains their respective hashcodes. So, I need to take the hashcode and look at which file has the same hashcode and then register it in the database. How could I implement this solution using the chunk-oriented processing model

A: ResourcesItemReader is what you are looking for. It allows you to read items of type org.springframework.core.io.Resource which could be a file in your case.
What you can do is create a chunk-oriented step as follows:

*

*Item reader: a ResourcesItemReader that loops over your hash file

*Item processor: given a hash file, determine which pdf/xml files correspond to the current hash

*Item writer: writes whatever needs to be written in your database

A couple of hints:

*

*You can define a class that represents a set of related files (hash + pdf + xml) as output type of your processor and input type for the writer. Encapsulation for the win!

*You can pre-load a Hashmap (hash -> file) and use it in the processor to get the corresponding file (xml or pdf) for a given hash.

If I had to weigh the difficulty of the AWS platform versus finding the right technical resources, by far the search for the best resources for your team is the most challenging aspect of building solutions on the AWS platform. Over the last year and a bit, we've helped dozens of organizations build their internal teams. In this article, I'll outline some of the most important things we look for when scouting for AWS resources.
A significant selling point for AWS is the ability to go global in minutes. To better understand what that means, this article is going to break down Amazon's existing global infrastructure for AWS. To start, let's look at the world; on any globe, we group countries into continents, and that is where the AWS footprint starts: Regions. Each Region is a physical location in the world comprised multiple Availability Zones.
IAM Access Keys - Do you really need them?
IAM Access Keys - Does the user really require them? I have very strong feelings when it comes to IAM Access Keys which I can sum up rather quickly - never - ever - provide Access Keys to your users - end of story. Let me explain why I take this stance - in my experience 99% of the time the user doesn't actually require them. Sure you have power users within the organization who want to interact with AWS via the CLI or maybe a script or two (more on that later), but in my experience the vast majority of AWS users interact with the platform via the AWS Management Console and these users do not need keys.
What Is a Lambda Function?
In a recent blog article, I talked about Going Serverless in 2018, so I figured I follow that article with a high-level overview of Lambda. When I mention this strategy during a training session or maybe during a customer visit I often get this following question: "What the heck is a Lambda function?!" I understand why I get this question so often. In the majority of cases when an organization decides to start using AWS for their computing needs they begin by 'Lifting and Shifting' a workload to the Amazon platform - while this approach is an entirely valid strategy it doesn't mean your work is finished.
What is a Virtual Private Cloud?
What is a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) Whenever I describe AWS services to organizations just starting on their AWS journey, I like to take an approach I use when learning new things myself: relate new concepts to material of which I'm already intimately knowledgeable. One of the core components almost every AWS service relies on is the Virtual Private Cloud (VPC). I like to visualize a VPC as a network switch inside a large office building; every piece of your network infrastructure must connect to the switch to communicate with one another.
I know it's the season to set resolutions for the year, but I'm suggesting we do something a bit different this go around. I'm not telling you to forget about your health-related goals - let's chat in March - what I'm suggesting is adopting a Serverless first approach in 2018. Exactly what do I mean when I say Serverless first? It's pretty simple really - we avoid adding additional Operating Systems at all costs!
Increased flexibility - sometimes referred to as 'elasticity' - is one of the major reasons organizations decide to leverage the AWS Platform. Elasticity is the flexibility to use only the resources you require, with the ability to scale out and in as needed, where needed. But what happens when a workload grows beyond its provisioned resources? Sometimes an application will grow to need more RAM or processing power, and simply adding more nodes isn't a viable solution.
There are quite a few decisions you need to make when you're first getting started on the Amazon Web Services (AWS) platform. One of those decisions that are often overlooked in the thrill of getting started is AWS Account Strategy. There are two options when it comes to deciding on an AWS Account Strategy: - A single AWS account - Multiple AWS accounts In this article, I'll outline both options and why I almost exclusively use a Multi-Account strategy over the single AWS account option.
Often, I find myself looking for general information about the AWS services and resources deployed within my AWS account. For example, I regularly want to know if there are any public S3 buckets in my account, or how many EBS volumes have been provisioned. I know I can get this information in some different ways. I could run a AWS CLI command on my laptop, I could create a custom script, or I could just log into the AWS Management Console.
Amazon EC2 System Manager (SSM) is an agent-based solution that allows you to remotely manage and collect inventory data from EC2 instances as well as on-premise Windows and Linux systems. Outside of managing long-running EC2 instances, you can also use SSM to manage your Amazon Machine Images (AMI). Think of an AMI as a gold-image, it's a pre-built server image that you can use as part of an auto-scaling solution, reference in a CloudFormation template or when manually deploying an instance via the CLI or through the Management console.

Toronto Mendelssohn Choir celebrates singing through three centuries with a gala concert to launch its 2019/20 season
The TMC celebrates its 125th anniversary in 2019 with a gala concert with the Toronto Symphony Orchestra at Koerner Hall. The Choir was founded in 1894 by conductor Augustus Vogt and had its first concert on January 15, 1895 in Massey Hall. The Choir has performed in the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries, as Toronto went from a city of 200,000 to the Greater Toronto Area of over 6 million. A lot has changed over the years, but the Choir continues to hold annual auditions for all choir members, a practice started by founder Augustus Vogt.The Gala Concert will take place Sunday, October 20, 2019 at 3:30 pm at Koerner Hall. The Choir will be joined by the Toronto Symphony Orchestra, long-time musical partners with the TMC and a youngster at only 97 years old. TMC Conductor David Fallis has put together a program that brings together the three centuries in three major works: Gabriel Fauré's Requiem, composed in the late 1880s and re-orchestrated by him in 1894, the year of the founding of the TMC; Igor Stravinsky's Symphony of Psalms, composed in 1930 and one of the greatest choral-orchestral works of the 20th century; and for the 21st century a new commission by acclaimed Cree composer Andrew Balfour. Andrew's commission for the TMC will set one of the Biblical psalms in Cree, interwoven with words by Indigenous poet Karen Vermette.

Toronto Symphony–Mendelssohn Choir Messiah
Leslie Barcza, barczablog. Toronto is Messiah town, as I've joked before. Handel's most popular Biblical oratorio is everywhere at this time of year. Tonight I took in the second of six offered this week by the Toronto Symphony, the Toronto Mendelssohn Choir and soloists under the baton of Johannes Debus, the Music Director of the Canadian Opera Company. We've heard him lead operas at Four Seasons Centre, I wondered what he'd be like leading an oratorio down the street with the TSO & TMC. And in fact it was the cleanest clearest Messiah I've heard at Roy Thomson Hall.
Toronto Mendelssohn Choir Makes Handel's Messiah Shimmer With The TSO
Arthur Kaptainis, ludwig Van Toronto. The Toronto Symphony Orchestra presents Handel's greatest hit every December, generally with a new conductor. Our Messiah maestro this year is both familiar and surprising: Johannes Debus. On Monday, the music director of the Canadian Opera Company oversaw a performance in Roy Thomson Hall that was agreeable in particulars but lacking something in drama. The stars of the show, numbering about 110, were in the loft. Clearly, the Toronto Mendelssohn Choir has not lost interest in this annual assignment. "For unto us a Child is born" was exuberant and the stresses of "Let us break their bonds asunder" were spot-on. Sections were perhaps not of exactly equal strength — we all know which letter comes first in SATB — but counterpoint was vigorous and the tone was lucid at all dynamic levels. This great institution seems to be thriving under the interim supervision of David Fallis.

Users of TRI information should be aware that TRI data reflect releases and other waste management activities of chemicals, not whether (or to what degree) the public has been exposed to those chemicals. TRI data, in conjunction with other information, can be used as a starting point in evaluating exposures that may result from releases and other waste management activities which involve toxic chemicals. The determination of potential risk depends upon many factors, including the toxicity of the chemical, the fate of the chemical, and the amount and duration of human or other exposure to the chemical after it is released.
Transfers to Recycling are Section 6.2, sum of Solvents/Organics Recovery (M20), Metals Recovery (M24), Other Reuse or Recovery (M26), Acid Regeneration (M28) and Transfer to Waste Broker - Recycling (M93)). Transfers to Energy Recovery are Section 6.2, sum of Energy Recovery (M56) and Transfer to Waste Broker - Energy Recovery (M92)). Transfers to Treatment are Section 6.2, sum of Solidification/Stabilization (M40, except for metals and metal compounds), Incineration/Thermal Treatment (M50), Incineration/Insignificant Fuel Value (M54), Wastewater Treatment (excluding POTWs) (M61, except for metals and metal compounds), Other Waste Treatment (M69) and Transfer to Waste Broker - Waste Treatment (M95)). Transfers to POTWs (non-metals) are Section 6.1 (except metals and metal compounds). Transfers to POTWs (metals and metal compounds) are Section 6.1 (metals and metal compounds only). Other off-site transfers are Section 6.2 sum of amounts with no code or invalid code.
Transfers off-site to disposal or other releases not including transfers to POTWS of metals and metal compounds are Section 6.2, sum of Class I Underground Injection Wells (M81), Class II-V Underground Injection Wells (M82,M71), RCRA Subtitle C Landfills (M65), Other Landfills (M64), Storage Only (M10), Solidification/Stabilization - Metals and Metal Compounds only (M41), Solidification/Stabilization (M40 metals and metal compounds only), Wastewater Treatment (excluding POTWs) - Metals and Metal Compounds only (M62), Wastewater Treatment (excluding POTWs) (M61 metals and metal compounds only), RCRA Subtitle C Surface Impoundments (M66), Other Surface Impoundments (M67, M63), Land Treatment (M73), Other Land Disposal (M79), Other Off-site Management (M90), Transfers to Waste Broker - Disposal (M94 or M91), and Unknown (M99).
This report ranks the 100 largest facilities reporting in a particular off-site waste transfer category (by default, the report ranks the top 100 facilities by total off-site waste transfers). By sorting on different off-site waste transfer categories (e.g., transfers to recycle, to energy recovery, to treatment, to POTWs, etc.), TRI Explorer will generate a report ranking the top 100 facilities for the specific off-site waste transfer category chosen. Note that the top 100 facilities ranked for a specific off-site waste transfer category will change as the category changes (i.e., the 100 facilities ranked for recycling is not necessarily the same 100 facilities for transfers to POTWs).
Note that if a facility name appears multiple times within the table above, the facility is a multi-establishment and submitted multiple forms for the chemical.
The facility may have reported multiple NAICS codes to TRI in the current reporting year. See the facility profile report by clicking on the facility name to see a list of all NAICS codes submitted to TRI for the current reporting year.
A decimal point, or "." denotes that the facility left that particular cell blank in its Form R submission (a zero in a cell denotes either that the facility reported "0" or "NA" in its Form R submission). "NA" in a cell denotes that the facility has submitted only Form A and thus the data for release, waste transfers or quantities of TRI chemicals in waste are not applicable. By submitting a Form A the facility has certified that its total annual reportable amount is less than 500 pounds, and that the facility does not manufacture, process, or otherwise use more than 1 million pounds of the toxic chemical.
The user selected list of chemicals applied in this report includes: Bis(chloromethyl) ether

You've probably just completed a transfer, everything looked fine and dandy all through the process, when all of a sudden you receive an email from us. It says that: "Oops, something went wrong..".
the email of the recipient wasn't correct.
If the transfer wasn't successful, allow us to explain: When a transfer upload begins, we divide the transfer into little pieces to be uploaded more efficiently , one at a time. When all the pieces reach their destination they are put back together and form your transfer but sometimes a drop in connection or the file still being open in a different application causes one of these little pieces of your transfer to be lost and so the transfer remains incomplete even though it appears to be finished when we receive the final piece. This error causes the "Oops, something went wrong" message. Retrying the upload usually does the trick and your transfer is then transmitted, with all its pieces intact.
If the "Oops" email indicates this is about the recipient's email, we suspect that something's wrong with the email address you entered as a recipient. So, first things first: make sure the recipient's email address is correctly spelled and there are no spaces at the start and/or end of the address you filled in.
If you are 100% sure that the email address is correct, chances are that your recipient has ended up on the bounce list that our email processor has.
When our emails are rejected by the recipient's mail server, the email address is put on the bounce list. This may have been caused by a spam filter, full mailbox or an 'out of office' reply. If you'd like more info on what creates a bounce, you could read up on the subject here: I don't receive your email anymore. Luckily for you, there's an easy fix. Please drop us an email (with the recipients email address in it) and we'll have your recipient available again in no time.


On Tuesday, August 7, the CW revealed that Ruby Rose had been cast as Batwoman in the network's upcoming show about the DC Comics character. Speaking about the role and what it means to her on Wednesday, Rose could hardly contain her emotions.
"Growing up, watching TV, I never saw somebody on TV I could identify with, let alone a superhero," Rose told Jimmy Fallon as she fought back tears. The actress revealed that she had learned about her casting shortly before attending the red carpet premiere of her new film The Meg on Monday, and she spent the entire event trying not to cry.
Rose's Batwoman will first be introduced in the crossover between the CW's four current DC shows, The Flash, Arrow, Legends of Tomorrow, and Supergirl. It's an historic role for the Orange Is the New Black star, too, as Batwoman — alter ego for Kate Kane — is the first openly gay superhero to topline a TV series.
Are you excited to see Ruby Rose as Batwoman? Let us know @BritandCo!


hat's the worst thing in the world that can happen to someone? As a teenager, I asked myself this deep, philosophical question, and I thought the answer was obvious: losing a parent.
I had no reason to think it would happen to me. My parents were both healthy and vibrant, and with ten energetic children to care for, they had busy, full lives. My father was a businessman, my mother a full-time homemaker.
Despite my father's busy work and learning schedule, he was a very involved husband and father, and did everything he could to make my mother's life easier. When I was a kid, some 25 years ago, the first cellular phones came out on the market. At that point, they were a luxury item and very expensive. Only the really fancy people had them — and we weren't fancy people, by any stretch. But the day after my father heard my mother say how nice it would be not to have to search for a payphone to call home when she was out, he went out and bought my mother a big, clunky cell phone.
On Shabbos morning, he would daven k'vasikin, and then come home and watch the kids so that my mother could sleep late. If he came home from work early during the week, he would urge my mother to go take a nap, and he would cook supper.
When I was 12, my four-year-old cousin became very sick, and after an extended hospitalization, he passed away. I remember seeing medical bills in my cousin's name on my father's desk, with personal checks written on my father's account. My uncle and aunt, who had lost their child, had a lot more money than my father did, but he didn't want them to have to go through the agony of dealing with bills after the petirah. I never heard him say anything about this, I just figured out what had happened.
My father didn't talk much about himself. He didn't tell us, for instance, why he wouldn't eat bread the day after Pesach. It was only when I got a little older that I realized that he was trying to work on his middos by making himself wait an extra day to eat chometz.
My father had an issue with high blood sugar, and from the time I was a teenager, he was on a low-sugar diet. One morning, I baked cinnamon Danishes, and I gave him one, even though I knew he wasn't supposed to eat things like that. He ate it, probably just to make me feel good.
About half an hour later, as he was preparing to leave the house, he clutched his chest and collapsed on the floor. Within minutes, Hatzolah whisked him off to the hospital, but by the time he got there, it was too late.
They said it was a heart attack. I knew it was the cinnamon Danish.

3.2 million tonnes of rice for export in 10 months
Ha Noi, Oct. 20 (VNA) -- Viet Nam's rice export is estimated to reach 3.2 million tonnes by the end of October this year.
In the first days of October, the whole country shipped abroad 150 tonnes of rice, bringing the total quantity of rice export in the year to 3.1 million tonnes.
Enterprises nationwide have to date purchased nearly 6.78 million tonnes of paddy, equal to 76.3 percent of that purchased in the same period last year.

Crystal Hefner, Hugh Hefner's Wife, On Couple's Sex Life: 'No Comment' (VIDEO)
By John Stephens
Playboy magnate Hugh Hefner's wife Crystal Hefner told HuffPost Live Wednesday that she had "no comment" on the couple's sex life.
Asked about intimacy in their relationship, Hefner said that "since Heff is older now and has had the phase of his life -- the phases of all the girlfriends and all that kind of stuff -- I feel now is more, you know like cuddling up and watching a movie or playing backgammon."
"So does that mean that you don't have sex?" HuffPost Live host Alyona Minkovski asked.
"Ah, I'm not gonna -- no comment," Hefner said with a laugh.
Hefner did go on to refute claims that she had once called Hugh a "two second man" after initially calling off their marriage.
"People switch things all over," Hefner said. "I never said that. When I first left I did some interviews I shouldn't have done ... I was mad. I was, you know, it was a breakup. So I shouldn't have done some of the things, and at the time I had a bad publicist, so things did get switched and turned around."

I understand the confusion. Indeed, the official UCI calendar says that it's a one day race on Feb 16th and the race organizer itself says that it's a two day race on 15th and 16th (with the stages I mentioned above).
I've asked both for clarification: the organizer maintains it's a two-days race but doesn't explain why this has not officially been validated by the UCI and the UCI (on Twitter) hasn't answered my question so far. Therefore, I show both (contradictory) information above.
The organizer announces the finish in San Javier in between 4.30PM and 5PM. For more information see the RUTÓMETRO tab on this page.

Q: Kafka Connect JdbcSourceConnector ExtractField leaves double quotes around string I am using Kafka Connect JdbcSourceConnector to stream DB table rows into a topic. In the Connect configuration, I have these lines in order to populate the Kafka message bodies from the value column of the table:
  "transforms": "extract",
  "transforms.extract.type": "org.apache.kafka.connect.transforms.ExtractField$Value",
  "transforms.extract.field": "value",

It basically works, but the message body comes with extra double quote characters around the string, which I totally unexpected. For instance, if a table row has "value1"(excluding the quotes) in the column then the Kafka message body for the row comes as "\"value1\""(excluding the outer quotes).
Is this an expected behavior of ExtractField? Is there a work-around for this? My KafkaConnect version is 2.2.2 and the broker version is 2.5.0 if that matters.

A: I solved the issue by specifying value.converter like this:
  "value.converter": "org.apache.kafka.connect.storage.StringConverter",

With this config, I don't see the extra double quote characters any more.


Hunger is a worldwide problem, including in the United States where one in eight Americans statistically faces hunger daily.
Plant A Row for the Hungry is a program adopted by the Garden Writers Association from a successful program started in Alaska by Jeff Lowenfels.
Since 1998 Fred Pinkney and other staff in the Chesapeake Bay Field Office of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in Annapolis, Maryland, have devoted lunch breaks and after hours voluntarily in A Plant A Row garden on the premises.
happen to be governmental employees in Annapolis, Maryland, and whose inspiration is a nonprofit association of garden writers in Canada and the United States.
1. "The uneasy or painful sensation caused by want of food; craving appetite; also the exhausted condition caused by want of food."
2. "The want or scarcity of food in a country, etc.; dearth; famine."
The third definition is figurative, for it presents connotations, which are the broader associations evoked, imagined, implied, or suggested by hunger.
3. "A strong desire or craving."
All three definitions basically describe a strong feeling which is experienced as a result of lack.
The difference between the first and second definitions is the scale of the experience of hunger.
The first difference does not quantify the experiencers whereas the second definition specifies a progression of victims -- "in a country, etc." -- that ultimately may escalate to global proportions.

The Garden Writers Association (GWA) was started in 1948 by the association's founder and first president, Henry L. Pree (1888 - 1969), a landscape architect in Cleveland, Ohio.
A non-profit association, GWA's membership numbers over 1,800 professional communicators on environmental, gardening, and horticultural topics in the lawn and garden industry. Members encompass diverse backgrounds ranging from horticultural consultants and photographers to landscape designers and architects. The largest percentage, 36.3 percent, are freelance writers.
Bean's Café was incorporated in February 1979 as a center for providing meals to the hungry, shelter to the homeless, and information/referrals to health and human service programs.
"Cheerful candy cane finger nails of an Alaskan, Bean's Café volunteer worker, Anchorage, Alaska"
In 1995 GWA adopted a program envisioned by Anchorage attorney Jeff Lowenfels, who served as GWA president from 1993 to 1995. As a result of a twinge of conscience over refusing to give spare change to a homeless man on a frigidly cold night in Washington, D.C., Jeff had suggested through his weekly garden column in the Anchorage Daily News that readers plant a row of vegetables and donate the produce from that row to Bean's Café, an Anchorage soup kitchen. The phenomenal local success of Plant a Row for Beans was translated quickly into national success as GWA's Plant a Row for the Hungry (PAR) and into international success through collaboration with a similar Canadian program, Grow-A-Row.
In 2002, GWA established the Garden Writers Association Foundation as a 501(c)(3) educational charity, with one of its objectives being to "seek to reduce hunger through expansion of public participation in the Plant a Row for the Hungry program."
In the United States, PAR now has a strong presence in all fifty states. Each pound of produce is calculated as supplementing four meals. Since 1995, over 16 million pounds (7,257,478 kilos) of produce, providing over 60 million meals, have been donated by American gardeners through PAR. This considerable accomplishment continues to be achieved voluntarily by people from all walks of life who give of their time and resources to help others in need.
"to conserve, protect and enhance fish and wildlife and their habitats for the continuing benefit of the American people."
Its specific mission is to protect endangered species and habitats in the area of the Chesapeake Bay, which, as a partially enclosed coastal body of water with oceanic confluence, is the largest estuary (Latin: aestus, "tide, boiling [of the sea]") in the United States.
In 1998, avid gardener and CBFO environmental contaminants biologist Fred Pinkney proposed the dedication of a sun-drenched, unused patch of turf alongside the parking lot to a program which recently had come to his attention, Plant A Row for the Hungry. About ten other CBFO employees joined Fred in setting up a 25- by 25-foot garden.
The commitment of Fred Pinkney and his Chesapeake Bay Field Office colleagues is exemplified by their harvesting and delivery of produce even as Hurricane Floyd, the third major hurricane in the 1999 Atlantic hurricane season, bellowed its fury along the eastern seaboard. Forming as a Cape Verde hurricane, generally the largest and most intense type of tropical storm, on September 7, 1999, Hurricane Floyd pummeled The Bahamas and made landfall near the border of the Carolinas on September 15.
On September 16, Annapolis was drenched with almost 12 inches (30.48 centimeters) of driving rain and pounded with furious winds at 65 miles per hour (104.6 kilometers per hour).
About five miles (8 kilometers) east of the Chesapeake Bay Field Office, the famed 400-year-old Liberty Tree, a tulip poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera), was damaged beyond saving by Hurricane Floyd's brutal winds.
With the last harvest on September 24, the total donation to the food bank and local shelter amounted to 209 pounds for the 1999 season.
"Today we harvested 14 lbs. of produce from the CBFO garden. Final destination: the Lighthouse Shelter in Annapolis. Zucchini, basil, tomatoes, cukes and peppers."
In 2014, seventeen years after inception, the Plant A Row for the Hungry garden still thrives in its patch next to the CBFO parking lot.
The garden is tended voluntarily over lunch break and after hours.
An automatic timer efficiently controls watering in the early morning.
Plantings include cucumbers, eggplants, melons, okra, peppers, pole beans, yellow squash, tomatoes, and zucchini.
In the first decade, from 1998 to 2008, the garden produced 3,000 pounds of cucumbers, melons, peppers, squash, and tomatoes.
On June 27, 2014, the garden yielded 22.5 pounds (10.2 kg) of basil, cucumbers, patty pan squash, and yellow squash. The healthy harvest was donated to Annapolis' Light House shelter.
Each harvest is earmarked for the Anne Arundel County Food Bank and to a local shelter, Light House.
2014's June harvest at Chesapeake Bay Field Office's Plant a Row garden includes patty pan and yellow squashes.
Conclusion: A 17-year commitment by U.S. Fish and Wildlife employees at Chesapeake Bay Field Office underscores the ease of community involvement in tackling hunger.
On July 5, 2011, CBFO posted a delectable image of the first eggplant of the season on their Facebook page. Also a harvest of 14 pounds was noted. The bounteous fare, which was detailed as basil, cucumbers, peppers, tomatoes, and zucchini, was duly delivered to the Light House homeless shelter in Annapolis.
According to the Garden Writers Association, over 84 million households in the United States have a garden or a yard. If every potential garden were cultivated with the allotment of only one extra row for donation to local food banks and soup kitchens, a significant impact would be made on reducing the problem of hunger, which affects 37 million Americans, of whom almost 14 million are children. Statistically, one in every eight Americans is faced with hunger each day.
In addition to household gardens, other community resources are available for tackling the serious, often hidden, problem of hunger. The Plant A Row for the Hungry garden at the Chesapeake Bay Field Office of the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service in Annapolis, Maryland, spotlights the creative, humanitarian use of public land and the impressive endeavors of government employees for the benefit of those in need. This commitment entails unpaid contribution of resources and time in addition to startup expenses, which amounted to $150 in 1998 for the CBFO volunteers.
"Participating in the Plant A Row program fits right in with our conservation ethic. Using some of the office grounds to help feed hungry people is consistent with our office's goal of contributing to the community and the staff's personal goals to help people in need."
1In addition to his efforts at Chesapeake Bay Field Office, Fred Pinkney was instrumental in establishing an 800 square foot organic Mishnah Garden at Adat Shalom in 2010.
The total harvest of 136 pounds was donated to Manna Food Bank, the local food bank.
In 2011, the harvest of 160 pounds from the Mishnah Garden was supplemented with 38 pounds from congregants' gardens to yield a total donation of 198 pounds to Anne Arundel Food Bank, Manna Food Bank, and Open Arms.

The aim of this study is to introduce the principles of Corporate Real Estate Management (CREM) within the municipal organization. It is presumed that, looking at the private sector's accomplishments in this field, these principles will allow a city council to deploy their real estate in a more strategic manner. In this study a model has been created for implementing so-called Municipal Real Estate Management (MREM) within the municipal organization on the desired level and adjusting the municipal real estate portfolio accordingly. This introduction of MREM will contribute to offering adequate accommodation to the different consumers, which heightens customer satisfaction. At the same time, it will add to the company result, balancing costs and benefits and delivering added value through a better control of risks and creating economies of scale.

UT regent nominees decry university's planned Houston expansion
Local // Houston
Lindsay Ellis

Two of Gov. Greg Abbott's three nominees to join the University of Texas System board of regents on Thursday criticized the system's move to buy considerable land in Houston for expansion during their confirmation hearing before a state Senate panel.
Their stances were striking because on Monday the governor had appointed them to replace three regents who often bucked UT leadership. Sources expected the appointees to be on the same page with UT system Chancellor William McRaven and the full board. One of the appointees who spoke against the university's intention to expand its Houston footprint was part of a UT advisory group charged with recommending to McRaven what to build on the land, making her remarks before the Senate nominations committee perplexing and unexpected.
In November 2015, UT regents overwhelmingly approved the $215 million acquisition of 332 acres in southwest Houston, immediately drawing protest from the University of Houston's regents, who called it an obstacle to UH's growth. More than a year after that vote, UT officials still have not defined their vision for the land beyond saying that it will not be used to build a four-year university to compete with UH. McRaven had said the intention is to develop an "intellectual hub" in Houston, leaving the details to be determined.
In February, McRaven asked a task force of Houston business and local leaders to determine by the end of 2016 how the system should use the land. That report is still in draft form, spokeswoman Jenny LaCoste-Caputo said Thursday, adding that it is expected to be completed in a few weeks.
The UT board of regents will ultimately need to approve McRaven's recommendations for use of the Houston land, and he said Thursday during a separate Senate finance committee hearing that he will wait until new regents join the board before bringing recommendations before the group. The Senate nominations panel will vote on the governor's three regent nominations on Feb. 2.
Meanwhile, one of the nominees critical of the Houston project - Janiece Longoria, chair of the Port of Houston Authority and formerly a member of UT's advisory group for how to use the land - said she did not think UT's expansion in Houston "could ever be successful" without local lawmakers' support.
Longoria also said she's not in favor of using the Permanent University Fund - a massive source of funding from oil and gas holdings for UT and the Texas A&M University System that cannot be used by the UH system - for the Houston project. The UT spokeswoman said Longoria was part of the advisory group from March 2016 until leaving earlier this month due to "conflicting commitments."
Another of Abbott's regent nominees, former state Sen. Kevin Eltife, told the Senate nominations panel Thursday he wanted the Houston project "stopped."
"I want someone to explain to me how we spent $200 million on a piece of dirt and we don't know the use of it," he said.
The third regent nominee, businessman Rad Weaver, said he needs to learn more about the project before expressing an opinion.
Their statements kicked off a tough day at the state capitol for UT's efforts to expand in Houston, and left McRaven to answer to skeptical Houston lawmakers on the Senate finance panel.
McRaven said it would have been "irresponsible" not to buy land in Houston, citing the city's nationally renowned medical center, space research and energy sector. He did not, however, offer new information on UT's plans for the land.
"I work for the board of regents," he said. "If, at the end of the day, I am not able to demonstrate that moving forward with this project is of value to UT and to the state, I will follow the direction of the board of regents."
Sen. John Whitmire said McRaven should have consulted lawmakers first, calling his actions an "abuse of power."
"I don't think you give a damn what the legislature thinks," the senator said to McRaven, a retired Navy admiral with a 37-year military career.
McRaven said he respected the Texas legislature, citing his military experience, and said his goal was to innovate higher education in the state.
"This really was about trying to do what I thought was the right thing," the UT chancellor said. "This could very well be a risk and a gamble."
The leaders of McRaven's Houston advisory group anticipated in December that they would deliver recommendations to him in one to two months. The task force's chief said at the time "the project is too big and too important to rush" and said that McRaven was "completely satisfied" with the group's progress.

Foreclosure Fraud For Dummies, 2: What is a Note, and Why is it So Important?
October 19, 2010 12:00pm by
(This is a series giving a basic explanation of the current foreclosure fraud crisis from Mike Konczal; This is Part Two; you should also see Part One )
The SEIU has a campaign: Where's the Note? Demand to see your mortgage note. It's worth checking out. But first, what is this note? And why would its existence be important to struggling homeowners, homeowners in foreclosure, and investors in mortgage backed securities?
There's going to be a campaign to convince you that having the note correctly filed and produced isn't that important (see, to start, this WSJ editorial from the weekend). This is like some sort of useless cover sheet for a TPS form that someone forgot to fill out. That is profoundly incorrect.
Independent of the fraud that was committed on our courts, the current crisis is important because the note is a crucial document for every party to a mortgage. But first, let's define what a mortgage is. A mortgage consists of two documents, a note and a lien:
The note is the IOU, it's the borrower's promise to pay. The mortgage, or the lien, is just the enforcement right to take the property if the note goes unpaid. The note is crucial.
Why does this matter? Three reasons, reasons that even the Wall Street Journal op-ed page needs to take into account. The first is that the note is the evidence of the debt. If it isn't properly in the trust then there isn't clear evidence of the debt existing.
And it can't be a matter of "let's go find it now!" REMIC law, which governs the securitization, is really specific here. The securitization can't get new assets after 90 days without a tax penalty, and it can't get defaulted assets at all without a major tax penalty. Most of these notes are way past 90 days and will be in a defaulted state.
This is because these parts of the mortgage-backed security were supposed to be passive entities. They are supposed to take in money through mortgage payments on one end and pay it out to bondholders on the other end, hence their exemption from lots of taxes; the tradeoff is that they can't be de facto managers of assets, and that's what going to find the notes would require.
For Distressed Homeowners
The second is that it also matters a great deal for homeowners who are distressed. The note lays out the terms of late fees and other penalties. As we will discuss in the next section about mortgage servicers, the process of trying to get people behind on their payments current instead of driving them into bankruptcy has broken down. But for now it's clear that mortgage servicers don't have great incentives to get distressed homeowner's records correct.
There's well-documented evidence that extra fees are tacked on to mortgages that have fallen behind, fees that aren't following the terms of the note. This is usually only found out in bankruptcy where there is a lawyer (and multiple parties), not in foreclosure cases. But if homeowners wants to challenge whether what the servicers claim is the correct final due amount, the terms of the note are necessary for the court.
This will matter a great deal for many homeowners. Small, marginal differences in the total owed could allow for a short sale. It could determine if the homeowner has any equity in their home. And this can only be determined by producing the note.
For Investors, Who Took This Seriously at the Beginning
Last reason: you can tell it's important because all the smartest finance guys in the room thought it was important. Let's look at a Pooling and Service Agreement form from 2006 between "GS MORTGAGE SECURITIES CORP., Depositor, and DEUTSCHE BANK NATIONAL TRUST COMPANY, Trustee." (h/t Adam Levitin for this example.) Let's reproduce the chart from part 1 to see the chain between depositors and trustees who oversee the trust:
So what agreement did they come to when it comes to the proper handling of notes in securitization? Did they think this was no big deal, or that it is something serious? From the PSA (my bold):
(b) In connection with the transfer and assignment of each Mortgage Loan, the Depositor has delivered or caused to be delivered to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders the following documents or instruments with respect to each Mortgage Loan so assigned:
(i) the original Mortgage Note (except for up to 0.01% of the Mortgage Notes for which there is a lost note affidavit and the copy of the Mortgage Note) bearing all intervening endorsements showing a complete chain of endorsement from the originator to the last endorsee, endorsed "Pay to the order of _____________, without recourse" and signed in the name of the last endorsee…
The Depositor shall use reasonable efforts to cause the Sponsor and the Responsible Party to deliver to the Trustee the applicable recorded document promptly upon receipt from the respective recording office but in no event later than 180 days from the Closing Date….
In the event, with respect to any Mortgage Loan, that such original or copy of any document submitted for recordation to the appropriate public recording office is not so delivered to the Trustee within 180 days of the applicable Original Purchase Date as specified in the Purchase Agreement, the Trustee shall notify the Depositor and the Depositor shall take or cause to be taken such remedial actions under the Purchase Agreement as may be permitted to be taken thereunder, including without limitation, if applicable, the repurchase by the Responsible Party of such Mortgage Loan.
Read that again through to the end and use the chart to follow the chain. If more than 0.01% (!) of mortgage notes weren't properly transferred, the trust can force the sponsor (in this case, Goldman Sachs) to repurchase the bad mortgages. And this is just one contract for one part of the ~$2.6 trillion dollar mortgage backed securities market. How's that for systemic risk? Especially if this is found to be widespread….
Looking at the documents you see that the smart guys who created these mortgage-backed securities put large poison pills into them to try and prevent the kind of note fraud we are currently experiencing as a country. They took the policing and legal recourse (and legal ability to cover their ass) very seriously on this issue. So seriously they can force repurchases of this bad debt.
So don't believe the hype of anyone who says these are just technicalities; the people who wrote the contract didn't believe they were.

Sungha Jung (Cheongju, 2 de setembre de 1996) és un músic sud-coreà especialitzat en guitarra acústica fingerstyle que ha pujat a la fama des de YouTube i altres llocs webs. Jung crea versions i arranjaments acústics, normalment d'oïda i/o mirant vídeos, i compon cançons originals, les quals toca i penja en línia. Sovint se'l descriu com un prodigi de la guitarra, tot i que prefereix que se'l conegui com a "guitarrista" en lloc de "prodigi". El 2010 el seu canal tenia més de 222 milions de visites i més de 335.000 subscriptors. Al 2020 supera les 1.800 milions de visites i els 6.480.000 subscriptors.

Biografia
Jung es va interessar per la guitarra després de veure tocar el seu pare. Va trobar tocar la guitarra del seu pare més interessant que el piano, que ja estava aprenent. El pare de Jung li va ensenyar els conceptes bàsics i, després d'aprendre'ls, va desenvolupar molt la seva habilitat només intentant reproduir el que sentia. Quan tenia dificultat, estudiava vídeos en línia. Jung va tocar fingerstyle quan el seu pare va descobrir la tècnica a Internet. El seu primer "ídol" va ser el guitarrista Kotaro Oshio, de qui va començar a interessar-se per la guitarra fingestyle. Al principi la mare i l'àvia de Jung desaprovaven el "soroll" que feien Jung i el seu pare, però van arribar a entendre-ho com el seu do.

Trace Bundy va trobar un vídeo de Sungha Jung, de 9 anys, interpretant la seva versió del Cànon de Pachelbel. El vídeo va impressionar a Bundy ja que era una versió molt difícil. Després de veure el talent de Jung, Bundy va fer dues gires per Corea del Sud, i les dues vegades es va posar en contacte amb Jung. Durant les actuacions de Bundy trucava a Jung a l'escenari i tocaven el cànon junts a l'uníson. El 2009 Trace Bundy va volar Jung als Estats Units i els dos van fer una gira per la costa oest dels Estats Units. Des de llavors, els dos han tocat junts sovint.

Poc després del seu primer vídeo a Internet, va obtenir molts seguidors, als quals va demanar consell sobre la seva interpretació. La seva versió del tema musical de Pirates del Carib va fer de Jung una sensació d'internet i la seva manera de tocar va cridar l'atenció de guitarristes de renom mundial, que van trobar impressionants les versions de les seves cançons. Des de llavors, Jung ha tocat diverses vegades a l'escenari amb ells. Jung va rebre lliçons de guitarra de Hata Shuji, un conegut guitarrista japonès de jazz. També ha estat tutoritzat pel guitarrista alemany Ulli Bögershausen, a qui Jung s'ha referit com la seva inspiració musical, i de qui va aprendre molt sobre la composició i l'arranjament.

En un vídeo, va recomanar el "mètode AllEars" per a aquells a qui els agrada el seu estil de tocar la guitarra i que volen aprendre'l. A més de la guitarra saxona i la guitarra clàssica, ha estat enregistrat tocant guitarra de dotze cordes, guitarra elèctrica, ukelele, guitarlele, arpa ukelele i piano. També ha cantat en directe, com quan va cantar Falling Slowly en un concert a Bangkok. A part de coreà, Jung parla anglès, que va estudiar per poder comunicar-se durant concerts a l'estranger.

Guitarres

Jung va rebre la seva primera guitarra als nou anys, una guitarra de fusta contraxapada molt grossa que costava menys de 60 dòlars. En descobrir l'habilitat de Jung amb la guitarra semblant a una joguina, el seu pare va decidir comprar-ne una de millor -una Cort Earth900. Jung va començar a tocar seriosament amb aquesta guitarra. La seva tercera guitarra era un model Selma "All Spruce" de mida petita, feta a mida, sobre la qual Thomas Leeb va escriure "KEEP ON GROOVING! TO MY FRIEND, THOMAS LEEB" (continua creixent! pel meu amic, Thomas Leeb). El 2009, amb l'ajut de Ulli Bögershausen, va establir el patrocini de Lakewood Guitars i actualment toca instruments model Lakewood Signature.

Pràctica i gravació
El temps de pràctiques diàries de Jung quan era petit era d'una a dues hores quan hi havia escola i fins a tres hores durant les vacances escolars. Jung solia trigar una hora a esbrinar les notes i tocar una peça, i normalment utilitzava cinc hores a practicar-la abans de gravar-la. No obstant això, per fer les seves camçons millors i més precises, de tant en tant passava des d'un parell de dies fins a un mes practicant.

Actuacions
Sungha va aparèixer a una cançó de l'àlbum en solitari de Narsha, membre de Brown Eyed Girls, anomenada I'm In Love el 2010, on tocava la guitarra. El 2011 va actuar als EUA amb Trace Bundy, i també va fer una gira per Escandinàvia i el Japó. El 2012 va fer una col·laboració amb 2NE1. Sungha va fer versions acústiques dels èxits del grup Lonely i I Love You. Més tard va participar en directe al G-Dragon de BIGBANG; That XX va ser la cançó que va tocar. Va interpretar "I'm Yours" amb Jason Mraz, que va descriure Jung com «amazing» (increible) i el seu «heroi», el 2013. Jung va interpretar a Ahn Hyeok a la pel·lícula coreana del 2011, Susanghan Gogaekdeul (수상한 고객들).

A very pretty cove with two buoys and a beautiful house. A fisherman on his noisy putt-putt boat leaves very early in the morning.
Latest review: "We stayed here one starry night, firmly attached to one of the two buoys in the cove, with another y "
Over the next 24 hours temperatures will reach a maximum of 18C at 2pm in Parja Cove, there will be showers from 4pm for 8 hours, and the wind will be moderate to strong reaching 24 kts at 2pm.
We stayed here one starry night, firmly attached to one of the two buoys in the cove, with another yacht on the other. It was the most amazing experience, so peaceful... well until the local fisherman from the house came past at 5am is his noisy fishing boat, putt putt putt, LOL.

Dr. Peter Charles Maloney (1941-2013) was an internationally known biochemist, Professor and Interim Director of the Physiology Department and the Associate Dean for Graduate Students at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine (JHMI). Dr. Maloney was a pioneer in developing tools and experimental approaches to study bacterial membrane transporters. In later years, his groundbreaking research in Cystic Fibrosis contributed greatly to the current understanding of this disease.
Dr. Maloney was a member of many prestigious organizations including the American Society for Microbiology (ASM), American Physiological Society (APS), and the American Society of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (ASBMB). In addition, he served on the editorial board of the Journal of Biological Chemistry, the flagship publication of the ASBMB. Throughout his career at JHMI, he received many accolades. Sadly, Dr. Maloney passed away December, 2013 at the age of 72 after a long battle with cancer. He is fondly remembered as a beloved teacher and a mentor.
To commemorate his illustrious career as a scientist and mentor at JHMI and honor his many contributions to the field of science and to the school, the Department of Physiology established the Peter C. Maloney Lectureship in 2017.
This annual Lecture is organized by the graduate students in the Physiology Department.
About Dr. Peter Maloney
Dr. Maloney earned a Bachelor's degree in 1963 in biology from Swarthmore College and his Ph.D. in 1972 in Biomedical Sciences from Brown University. After graduating from Brown, he completed a postdoctoral fellowship at Harvard University. He was recruited to Hopkins in 1976 by neuroscience pioneer Dr. Vernon Mountcastle as an Assistant Professor of Physiology. Dr. Maloney rose to the rank of Full Professor of Physiology in 1988 and served as the Associate Dean of Graduate Student Affairs from 2001-2013.

This paper, The Pages of Books, explores various aspects of books, from the definition of the term 'book' to theories surrounding the book as space. It does this in order to show that books provide the reader with an intimate private space that stimulates the mind and imagination. I argue that this elicits a physical response in the reader, causing the reader to form an intimate relationship with books.
The work that accompanies this essay, The Pages of Books: the Tom Sawyer Edition, explores my personal relationship with a specific book, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain.

Rosary Novena starts today!!!
"That kind is only driven out by prayer and fasting"(Mark 9:29)
Catholic Family News urges you to join us in a
Nine-Day Rosary Novena
Prior to the US Election
From October 27 to November. 4.
Whether you plan to vote for John McCain, Chuck Baldwin, Ron Paul or no one at all.
Join us in the Rosary Novena and in the daily recitation of a special approved prayer against "revolutionary men".
CONSIDER:
• Obama is the most pro-abortion candidate in history.
Catholic Bishop Arthur Serratelli ofPaterson,NJ, Obama, in a recent column on his diocesan website, effectively compared Obama to Herod. Obama has promised to pass the Freedom of Choice Act. Should Obama keep this promise, said Bishop Serratelli, "not only will many of our freedoms as Americans be taken from us, but the innocent and vulnerable will spill their blood." The Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA), introduced in the United States Congress in 2004, would remove all restrictions on abortion in theUnited States, both on the state and federal level. "FOCA goes far beyond guaranteeing the right to an abortion throughout the nine months of pregnancy. It arrogantly prohibits any law or policy interfering with that right," says Bishop Serratelli. This is the "dark reality" kept secret by propagandists for 'choice'."
• Obama vows to fight for the legalization of homosexual marriages and for hate crimes legislation.
In June, Obama sent a letter to the Alice B. Toklas Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Democratic Club saying he supportsrepealingthe Defense of Marriage Act and the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" US military policy. In 2004, Obama sent a letter to a "gay" newspaper inChicago in which he called the Defense of Marriage Act "abhorrent" and said, "We must vigorously expand hate-crime legislation and be vigilant about how these laws are enacted." Such pro-homosexual hate crimes legislation is being used around the world to persecute Christians. Last year, a Columbia bishop was jailed for refusing to allow a homosexual into his seminary. "Hate crimes" could also be used against churches that refuse to perform homosexual marriages; and used against schools that teach homosexuality is a sin.
• Even the Wall Street Journalis concerned about an Obama win.
AnWSJarticle entitled "The Coming Liberal Supermajority" warns of "one of the most profound political ideological shifts in US History. Liberals would dominate the entire government in a way they havent's since 1965 or 1933" and warned that an Obama victory would unleash "a period of uncheck left-wing ascendency." WSJ also noted that an Obama presidency would result in regulatory overkill in the business world; substantial tax hikes; a "green" tax to repel so-called "climate change"; and the "Fairness Doctrine" that would effectively silent conservative ralk radio and political opposition.
Catholics throughout the nation,such as Father John Corapi, are organizing Rosary novenas on the nine-days prior to election day. Let us unite all of our payers to the Immacualte Heart of Mary. The battle of Lepanto was won not so much by superior firepower, but by Catholics praying the rosary to defeat the enemies of God.
PLEASE ALSO RECITE ON EACH DAY OF THE NOVENA
THIS PRAYER APPROBED BY THE CHURCH
Prayer given by Our Lord to Sister Marie de Sainte Pierre (1816-1848 � Apostle
of the Holy Face of Jesus), to divide and conquer revolutionary men.
Eternal Father, I offer Thee the Cross of Our Lord Jesus Christ, and all the instruments of His Holy Passionthat Thou mayest put division in the camp of Thine enemies,for as Thy beloved Son hath said, "a kingdom divided against itself shall fail".
The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass(Tridentine) will be offered for – and in union with — all those who take part in the Novena on October 27 and November 4.
Please email to tell us you will take part in the Rosary Novena:cfnjv@localnet.com

One thought on "Rosary Novena starts today!!!"
Jason Hall, A New Libertarian
I've been reading up on Ron Paul and I must say that after reading your article above, I'm really convinced that we need a real change. It's time we all stand up together for freedom.
That's why I am proud to say I voted for a third party candidate this year for the first time ever. It was Wes Upchurch, for Missouri's Secretary of State.
Next election everyone should do the same. We need people who are libertarians and Ron Paul republicans in office.

French-born sculptor Alain Kirili will install the fifteenth work in his Commandment series in the Grand Lobby of The Brooklyn Museum. He began the series in 1979, the year following his move to New York from Paris. The Brooklyn Museum project consists of over forty forged iron elements that are placed on a large platform to create a more than thirty-foot-long field of sculpture. Commandment is the twenty-eighth project in the Grand Lobby series and will be on view from September 20, 1991, to January 5, 1992.
Kirili creates his sculpture at a Trenton, NJ, iron forge, a process he learned from American and Austrian craftsmen. Iron forging is extremely time intensive and fatiguing, allowing him to work for only two to three hours at a time. Using no sketches or maquettes and having no advance plan, Kirili casts each of the elements in the Commandment series intuitively, relying on his comprehensive knowledge of Western and Eastern art and his fascination with scriptural, monotheistic, and traditional religious concepts.
Alain Kirili was born in Paris in 1946 and received little formal training as an artist. In 1979 he moved to New York and began the Commandment series, drawing on a variety of sources to inform his work, including Western and Eastern art history and religion.
In conjunction with the installation, the Education Division will present an Artist-in-Residence program, consisting of a studio visit for adults on September 28 and a studio visit for teenagers on October 19. At his studio Kirili will explain his sculptural processes, drawing attention to the methods and materials used in Commandment and his other works.
The project was organized by Brooke Kamin Rapaport, Assistant Curator of Contemporary Art, with the assistance of Laura Deer Moore, a curatorial intern funded by the Lila Wallace-Reader's Digest Fund. The exhibition and its associated Artist-in-Residence program are made possible by the Lila Wallace-Reader's Digest Fund.

About Miyavi
MIYAVI is gaining recognition around the world for his unconventional style of playing the guitar—not with a pick, but with his fingers and his "slap style," which is like no other. Miyavi has six successful world tours under his belt, totaling more than 250 shows in 30 countries across North and South America, Europe, Asia and Australia.
In 2013, Miyavi entered a new phase by releasing the single "Ahead Of The Light," which features his slap guitar with the strong beats of electro/dance music. His self-titled album, Miyavi,was released in Japan in June 2013 and is now being released in Asia, Europe and North America.
In recent years, Miyavi gathered attention from other artists and creators in the field. He has also produced music for television commercials. His music has been featured on various commercials for brands, including Uniqlo, Toshiba, Nissan, Lotte Co., Otsuka Pharmaceutical Co., among others.
In addition, he is receiving a lot of attention from fashion brands. With his acting debut in Unbroken, Miyavi was inspired by the message of peace which he himself has strived for; he has been able to use all his performing abilities this time as an actor who considers his body and soul to be his instrument. Consistently aiming for the next level, fans refer to Miyavi as the "Samurai Guitarist".

In the first place it seems unfortunate that much of Fisher's criticism of Neyman and Pearson's approach to the testing of statistical hypotheses should be built upon a "penetrating observation" ascribed to Professor G.A. Barnard, the assumption involved in which happens to be historically incorrect. There was no question of a difference in point of view having "originated" when Neyman "reinterpreted" Fisher's early work on tests of significance "in terms of that technological and commercial apparatus which is known as an acceptance procedure". There was no sudden descent upon British soil of Russian ideas regarding the function of science in relation to technology and to five-year plans. It was really much simpler–or worse. The original heresy, as we shall see, was a Pearson one!

Q: jqgrid and popup modal windows from link I have got a jqgrid, and i would like to put a link in it to open up more details on the row in a modal window.
Everything i have read about modal windows uses a div that gets shown when you click the link, but i want to pass an id so i can just get the info i need. I know i could do it with a new window quite easly but i would like to use a modal window if poss.
Any ideas how i could do this. I'm using asp.net if thats going to be relevent.
Cheers
Luke

A: I'd suggest using the jQuery UI Dialog plugin for custom modal windows.  You can find demonstration and documentation here:
http://jqueryui.com/demos/dialog/
In theory, to do what you're asking for, you could follow these steps:

*

*Add a "dialog" div tag to your page.

*Build the link into your data feed.  If you're using a XML data type make sure you use a CDATA flag to encapsulate your link so that they XML may be parsed correctly.
< cell>< ![CDATA[< a href="javascript:showDialog('551')">text]]>< /cell>
In this instance, since we know the actual id at the time the link is create, I pre-populated the id (e.g. 551) in the function.  This could also be retrieved from jqGrid API with the selrow property.  It's your call.  If you use a JSON data type, the idea would similar.  You wouldn't have to worry about the CDATA qualifier.

*Create a local function (e.g. showDialog (id)) to correspond to your link.

*Add code in the showDialog function to populate and open the modal dialog.  Using an AJAX call to gather specific data for this record, create the dialog content and populate the dialog using the jQuery .html method.
function showDialog (id) {
$.ajax({
    url: "feed.aspx?id=" + id,
    success: function(data) {
        var content = // TODO: create dialog layout here
    $("#dialog").html(content);

    $("#dialog").dialog({
        title: 'Record Details',
        modal: true,
        closeOnEscape: true,
        width: 300,
        height: 200,
        buttons: false,
        position: "center",
    });

    $("#dialog").dialog("open");
}

});
}
This is just one way to skin the cat.  You should be able to use more of a jQuery approach with the link creation.  If desired, rather than building the specific link the data feed, you could add jQuery click event bindings to handle the request.  It's your call.  You could also add the dialog div dynamically to your page using jQuery rather than just placing it manually like I described above.  It might be a little more elegant looking but would achieve the same goal.

A: I am attempting this late. May be you have an answer.  Thought this will help others.
The #dialog code can be done as suggested by gurun8. This needs to be wired to the jqgrid. There is a onSelectRow event which triggers whenever a row is selected in jqgrid. Refer documentation. I usually add autoOpen: false, to the dialog constructor.
You need to add the onselectrow event to the grid (jqgrid function as shown below) and you can pass the id to the function. This id is the unique identifier in the jqgrid. Make sure there are no syntax errors, add comma wherever appropriate.
$s("#list").jqGrid({
...
  onSelectRow: function(id){
    console.log("row is selected"+id);
    $url = "your_url/";
    $s('#dialog').load($url);
    $s('#dialog').dialog('open');
  }
...
});

More migrants cross Channel to Britain as political tension rises
Peter Nicholls and Natalie Thomas
Border Force crew attend migrants in a Border Force boat at Dover harbour
By Peter Nicholls and Natalie Thomas
DOVER, England (Reuters) - British border agents brought ashore migrants in the port of Dover on Monday after picking them up from an inflatable boat as they crossed the Channel, the latest in a surge of crossings that is causing political tensions with France.
Taking advantage of hot weather and calm sea conditions, more than 500 migrants have reached England since Thursday, many in overloaded rubber dinghies.
A Reuters photographer in Dover saw a Border Force boat arrive carrying a group of migrants wearing life jackets. A blue inflatable dinghy was towed in by a separate vessel.
"What is going on is the activity of cruel and criminal gangs who are risking the lives of these people, taking them across the Channel...in potentially unseaworthy vessels," Prime Minister Boris Johnson told broadcasters.
"We want to stop that, working with the French."
The Home Office, or interior ministry, has said it would return as many migrants as possible to France. Immigration minister Chris Philp is due to meet his French counterpart in Paris this week.
France says it has already deployed extra resources and that many boats are being intercepted before they cross.
Stephen Hale, chief executive of the charity Refugee Action, said the numbers crossing the sea to Britain - about 4,000 so far this year - were tiny in the context of what he described as a global refugee crisis.
"This is serious for the people concerned, but it's a modest movement by international standards and it's certainly something that Britain can cope with," he told Reuters, contrasting the situation with that of Lebanon, which has a million Syrian refugees.
France received 138,000 asylum applications last year, more than three times the 44,200 that were received by Britain, according to Eurostat.
Many of the migrants seeking to reach Britain come from Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria and countries in Africa, fleeing poverty, persecution or war. Some stand a chance of being granted asylum, while others, considered illegal economic migrants, are unlikely to be allowed to remain in Britain.
SEND OUT THE NAVY?
Britain's interior ministry has asked the military to help deal with the migrant boats, although it has not explained what it wanted them to do.
French lawmaker Pierre-Henri Dumont, who represents the Calais area across the Channel from Dover, dismissed the idea as an attempt by British ministers "to show some kind of muscle".
"My question is: what for? If a small boat full with migrants is entering the British waters, is the British navy going to shoot at them?" he said in a BBC interview.
Johnson said it was very difficult to send people away when they had arrived illegally, suggesting he wanted that to change.
"We need to look at the legal framework that we have, all the panoply of laws that an illegal immigrant has at his or her disposal that allows them to stay here," he said.
Any attempt to change the rules could be complicated by Britain's exit from the European Union. As things stand, most EU accords still apply during a transition period that will end on Dec. 31.
Dumont said after that, Britain would no longer be able to send migrants back to EU countries as that was only possible under an EU scheme.
"That will cause a huge increase in the number of migrants trying to cross the Channel," he said.
Hale said the government was presenting the situation on the south coast as a crisis when it was not.
Restrictions on international travel since March due to the coronavirus have also shut down a government scheme that allowed Syrian refugees to come to Britain from Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey, he added.
