The Awami League will take a 'zero tolerance' policy to free Bangladesh from corruption if it is reelected, Sheikh Hasina has said.
The prime minister interacted with a diverse group of youths and listened to their dreams, hopes and aspirations for a prosperous Bangladesh free from corruption, gender inequality and other menaces last month.
Her anticorruption stance mirrors the government's crackdown on militancy and drugs.
"When will Bangladesh be free from corruption?" one of the youths asked her at the "Let's Talk" programme organised by the Awami League's research wing, the Centre for Research and Information, or CRI, in Dhaka.
"It's one of my targets. I have cracked down on terrorism and drugs. Now a 'zero tolerance' policy against corruption will be announced," Hasina said.
"Why do the government officials need to resort to corruption when they get salaries?" she asked.
It will be possible to stop corruption if the "evil competition" of being rich can be stopped, according to the prime minister.
A total of 150 young people selected from across Bangladesh, including professionals, jobholders, entrepreneurs, students, representatives of youth groups, and sports and cultural activists, took part in the programme.
They discussed the government's policies and measures, including employment opportunities, education, women's empowerment, entrepreneurship and research, fighting the menaces of corruption and violent extremism and ensuring transparency in governance to take the country forward.
"When will the usurping of power by anti-liberation forces in league with others stop?" one of the youths asked.
"If someone doesn't have any affection for the Liberation War or the country, he or she will never want the country's development. The allies of the defeated forces always want to keep the country backwards," Hasina said.
Hasina described how the Awami League took the country forward because of its belief in the spirits of Liberation War after getting elected in 1996 and returning to power in 2008. She emphasised that voting for the pro-liberation forces will prevent the recurrence of usurping of power by anti-liberation forces.
A young man asked whether quotas for different groups -- freedom fighters' descendants, people with disabilities, small ethnic groups and women -- in government jobs can be revived.
The prime minister said the government was issuing new instructions to safeguard the interest of these groups of people in civil service.
On being asked by moderator Dr Nujhat Choudhury about her childhood wish, Hasina said she had wanted to be a doctor.
"But I found that I was weak in mathematics during the SSC exams. And all my friends were in arts group, that's why I also chose arts," she said.
"Then I wished to become a primary school teacher," she added, but now she is seeking the fourth term to head the government.
Responding to queries from the youths, Hasina recalled how she had travelled to Dhaka from Gopalganj for the first time and missed her father Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.
Jailed every now and then, and having packed schedule of political programmes and campaigns, he could not squeeze much time for his family as Sheikh Mujib was preparing to lead the nation into the final struggle for independence at the time.
And when the Liberation War started, Hasina was pregnant.
"We could not even go outside to buy a new cloth for my first child as we were under confinement. We had to cover him with the piece of cloth given at the hospital," she recalled.
"All pain was gone when the country became free," she added.
Hasina said she started doing politics when she was a student of Azimpur Girls' High School.
"But my mother (Sheikh Fazilatunnesa Mujib) barred me from running in election in my college fearing that a defeat for me would impact my father's Six Point Movement," Hasina said.
She won the election by a huge margin and was overwhelmed with emotion while delivering her first political speech at the Central Shaheed Minar.
Finally one of the darkest days in history of global politics arrived – the Aug 15, 1975 massacre of Bangabandhu's family.
Only Hasina and her sister Sheikh Rehana survived the carnage as they were abroad.
"In the first few years I could not believe it. I did not want to. I could not pray for my parents' departed souls.
"Anyway, life goes on," Hasina said.
Hasina said she now sleeps only five hours daily as she has sacrificed her life for the people after returning home in 1981.
She also regularly says her prayers, walks and has a balanced diet to stay fit.
"Let's Talk" is a series of interaction that the CRI regularly organises to connect youths with 'politics and policymaking'.
Hasina's son and ICT Affairs Adviser Sajeeb Wazed Joy, and several ministers and MPs had taken part in the programme earlier.
This is the first time the prime minister joined the programme. bdnews24.com and three other media outlets covered the event.
CRI Trustees Radwan Mujib Siddiq and Nasrul Hamid Bipu were also present.

What Our Alumni in Nigeria Think
"Sheffield for me provided a lot of academic exposure in the area of business management and operations; but more importantly, it provided a lot of social exposure, mainly from the opportunities to mix and build relationships with individuals from many different countries.
At the moment, I work for an investment management firm in Lagos, requiring a reasonable amount of knowledge on a number of financial issues.
With my network of friends from Sheffield – many of whom were international students and have returned to their home countries after graduating – we are able to create and foster an immensely useful knowledge network which enables us to share information, ideas, opinions and practice.
For most of us, the friendships built while at university have transformed into relationships from which a lot of value can be drawn."

Microsoft and NSA say a security bug affects millions of Windows 10 computers – TechCrunch
by Zack Whittaker | Jan 14, 2020 | News | 0 comments
Microsoft has released a security patch for a dangerous vulnerability affecting hundreds of millions of computers running Windows 10.
The vulnerability is found in a decades-old Windows cryptographic component, known as CryptoAPI. The component has a range of functions, one of which allows developers to digitally sign their software, proving that the software has not been tampered with. But the bug may allow attackers to spoof legitimate software, potentially making it easier to run malicious software — like ransomware — on a vulnerable computer.
"The user would have no way of knowing the file was malicious, because the digital signature would appear to be from a trusted provider," Microsoft said.
CERT-CC, the the vulnerability disclosure center at Carnegie Mellon University, said in its advisory that the bug can also be used to intercept and modify HTTPS (or TLS) communications.
Microsoft said it found no evidence to show that the bug has been actively exploited by attackers, and classified the bug as "important."
Independent security journalist Brian Krebs first reported details of the bug.
The National Security Agency confirmed in a call with reporters that it found the vulnerability and turned over the details to Microsoft, allowing the company to build and ready a fix.
Only two years ago the spy agency was criticized for finding and using a Windows vulnerability to conduct surveillance instead of alerting Microsoft to the flaw. The agency used the vulnerability to create an exploit, known as EternalBlue, as a way to secretly backdoor vulnerable computers. But the exploit was later leaked and was used to infect thousands of computers with the WannaCry ransomware, causing millions of dollars' worth of damage.
Anne Neuberger, NSA's director of cybersecurity, told TechCrunch that once the vulnerability was discovered, it went through the vulnerabilities equities process, a decision-making process used by the government to determine if it should retain control of the flaw for use in offensive security operations or if it should be disclosed to the vendor. It's not known if the NSA used the bug for offensive operations before it was reported to Microsoft.
"It's encouraging to see such a critical vulnerability turned over to vendors rather than weaponized."
Neuberger confirmed Microsoft's findings that NSA had not seen attackers actively exploiting the bug.
Jake Williams, a former NSA hacker and founder of Rendition Infosec, told TechCrunch that it was "encouraging" that the flaw was turned over "rather than weaponized."
"This one is a bug that would likely be easier for governments to use than the common hacker," he said. "This would have been an ideal exploit to couple with man in the middle network access."
Microsoft is said to have released patches for Windows 10 and Windows Server 2016, which is also affected, to the U.S. government, military and other high-profile companies ahead of Tuesday's release to the wider public, amid fears that the bug would be abused and vulnerable computers could come under active attack.
The software giant kept a tight circle around the details of the vulnerabilities, with few at the company fully aware of their existence, sources told TechCrunch. Only a few outside the company and the NSA — such as the government's cybersecurity advisory unit Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency — were briefed.
CISA also issued a directive, compelling federal agencies to patch the vulnerabilities.
Williams said this now-patched flaw is like "a skeleton key for bypassing any number of endpoint security controls," he told TechCrunch.
Skilled attackers have long tried to pass off their malware as legitimate software, in some cases by obtaining and stealing certificates. Last year, attackers stole a certificate belonging to computer maker Asus to sign a backdoored version of its software update tool. By pushing the tool to the company's own servers, "hundreds of thousands" of Asus customers were compromised as a result.
When certificates are lost or stolen, they can be used to impersonate the app maker, allowing them to sign malicious software and make it look like it came from the original developer.
Dmitri Alperovitch, co-founder and chief technology officer at security firm CrowdStrike, said in a tweet that the NSA-discovered bug was a "critical issue."
"Everyone should patch. Do not wait," he said.

I'm new here. Just wanna ask, how does temperature affect the measurement, say a chip resistor on the i1000?
The value of a resistor changes with changing temperature, but this is not as we might expect, mainly due to a change in the dimensions of the component as it expands or contracts. It is due mainly to a change in the resistivity of the material caused by the changing activity of the atoms of that make up the resistor.
Materials which are classed as CONDUCTORS tend to INCREASE their resistivity with an increase in temperature. INSULATORS however are liable to DECREASE their resistivity with an increase in temperature. It should be said however, that materials used for practical insulators (glass plastic etc) only exhibit a marked drop in their resistivity at very high temperatures. They remain good insulators over all temperatures they are likely to encounter in use."
We do see test measurement varies with temperature. For example, if your board is fresh out from the wave solder machine, testing it immediately will give you a unstable measurement. This is not specific to the i1000D only, it's common across all tester, even a hand held DMM.
When the i1000D system measures the resistor at a given temp repeatedly, it will read the same resistance for each measurment, until the temp of the resistor change significantly to result in a resistance drift.
Therefore, it's not a question of how stable will the tester be at different temperatures. It's a question of how stable can the temperature be for the resistor under test.

Three: Purposes of God in: Testing, revealing, proving, documenting, victory and if applied to God, holiness
The number "three" is one of the most significant numbers in the Scriptures. Its primary purpose is for the sake of revealing or documenting something as fact (testing to validate something). It is also connected to the outcome of the will of God. One of the most famous occurrences for the number three is found in the book of Jonah, where Jonah is in the belly of the fish "three days and three nights." A major aspect of the book of Jonah is that the prophet was fleeing from the presence of HaShem. Instead of Jonah going to Nineveh as God had commanded, the prophet desired not to obey this commandment, even if it meant that his relationship with God would be destroyed. HaShem decided to test to see if Jonah preferred to end his relationship with God rather than go to Nineveh. By placing Jonah in the belly of the fish for three days and three nights, it would be revealed whether it was true that Jonah wanted to end his relationship with God over this commandment to go to Nineveh. It is most significant that immediately after (in the next verse) the reader is informed that Jonah was in the belly of the fish for three days and three nights. What does Jonah do? The text states that Jonah prayed to the Lord his God from within the fish. Hence, the three days and three nights ultimately revealed, proved, or documented that what Jonah said he wanted was not true. One could also say that Jonah was tested for those three days and three nights and the test results showed that he did not want to end his relationship with God and in the end Jonah went to Nineveh.
In a similar manner, Peter rejects Yeshua's statement that he will deny Him. Therefore, Yeshua says to Peter that he will deny Him three times. These three denials prove, document, and reveal to the reader that Yeshua's statement was factual. It is not a coincidence that when Yeshua reinstated Peter after the resurrection, He asked him three times, "do you love Me?" In this context, Yeshua was testing the validity of Peter's statement.
Yeshua also revealed that He, in a similar manner to Jonah being in the belly of the fish three days and three nights, would be in the belly of the earth three days and three nights and then rise from the dead. In this passage, the number three not only documents the fact that He died, but also the resurrection. It is also very significant that Yeshua rose on the third day.
The number three also relates to victory, as in the completion of God's purposes and plans. In the book of Genesis, one reads about the offering of Isaac. This passage has great theological significance and is one of the first passages which is read in the morning synagogue service each day. This section begins with HaShem commanding Abraham to offer his son as a burnt offering on one of the mountains in the land of Moriah. The climax of this portion of Scripture comes about on the third day. It was on the third day that HaShem provided the ram so that Isaac would live. In this passage, Isaac represents the promise (of God) which would have died (ended) had not HaShem acted. There is not a conflict between the two concepts for the number three of victory (the fulfillment of God's will) and revelation or documentation. Often, it is the climax of what HaShem wants to do, which is simply being revealed or proved with the use of the number three.
Please note that when the number three is applied to God, then it can relate to holiness; whereas the number seven relates to holiness when this number is about man (see explanation for the number seven).

Q: javascript Cannot initialize global variable I'm a beginner in js and while experimenting I noticed something strange in my app :
var pin = "";
var inputField = document.querySelector('.pin'); // initialize globally

const addNum = (num)=>{
  //let  inputField = document.querySelector(".pin"); //code works by initializing this
  pin+=num;
  inputField.value = pin; //error hits
}

If I initialize my inputField variable globally I get the error Uncaught TypeError: Cannot set property 'value' of null in my app . However when I declare and initialize the variable in my function I get no null error and my code runs . Why does this happen if my variable is globally scoped how can it be null?


What is the most common type of burglary?
62% of burglaries happen at night under cover of darkness so security lighting, setting your alarm downstairs when you go to bed and making sure you lock up are all advisable. 30% of burglaries are 'insecure' burglaries where doors or windows have been left unlocked. These are often opportunistic and usually target the most vulnerable. See our blog for more details.

Effects of COVID-19 on food security and nutrition in northern Kenya
Inter–governmental and multi-lateral institutions
Esther Omosa and Muthoni Njiru
The Feed the Future Accelerated Value Chain Development Program (AVCD) livestock component, implemented by the International Livestock Institute (ILRI), initiated a study, whose purpose was to investigate how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected the livelihoods and food systems of actors along the livestock value chain, and how they have coped during this period. The findings of the study will provide AVCD program management, county governments, and other Partnership for Resilience and Economic Growth (PREG) partners with useful data to enable an evidence-based response to the situation at different levels.
The administration of the study occurred between 29 May to 16 June 2020, and data collection was through a phone-based survey. Both quantitative and qualitative techniques were employed to allow data triangulation and to enrich the information of the subject under investigation. Structured questionnaire to a sample of 2,010 actors along the livestock value chain, was administered with an overall response rate of 94%. The actors included producer households, agrovet owners, abattoir/slaughter slab/slaughterhouse, butcheries, livestock traders, livestock market associations, livestock transporters. Other actors included in the study were food kiosks/vendors/eateries, motorcycle transporters (boda-boda), cereals and pulses traders, fruits and vegetable traders, community health volunteers (CHVS) and community disease reporters (CDRs).

Which kinds of food is addressed here?
Was food consumption scores used to assess the food security situation?
By interviewing only those who had access to phones, don't you think the effect of COVID19 on food security for this ASALs people could be under estimated since those with phones are relatively better off and their feedback can be assumed to be less serious than that of the very poor in this ASALs population?

The Checklist: Implenting Staging And Grading
Anna Louise Tolan, RDH, FADIA & Michael Glogauer, DDS, PhD, Dip. Peri
Sponsored by ODHA
This session focuses on how the comprehensive classification system allows clinicians to classify the patient/client, based on a system of staging and grading never before employed in periodontal diagnosis. Discussions will cover the principles behind the updated classification for periodontal diseases and how to integrate new staging and grading of periodontitis, indicating severity and extent of disease, lifetime disease experience and the client's overall health status.
How the classification system is able to determine the best way to treat periodontitis and screen for disease recurrence will also be discussed. This lecture will provide clinicians with a clear understanding of CDHO expectations for using the classification system in their scope of practice and will build confidence for immediate chairside implementation of staging and grading.
Understand the clinician's role in adopting the improved classification system aimed at impacting client care.
Recognize the clinical assessment skills needed for the classification of periodontal disease.
Learn how the algorithm process was used to develop the staging and grading system.
Utilize the checklist to classify clinical cases.
Identify and classify periodontal disease using the staging and grading system.

Researchers at U of T Faculty of Dentistry Explore Rapid, Low-Cost COVID-19 Test
Researchers at U of T and local hospitals are looking to develop a mouth-based test for COVID-19 that would be quick and easy to administer to patients (photo by iStockphoto via Getty Images)
A simple mouth swab and rinse with testing technology adapted from a common viral detection method – the pap smear – could provide an easy, low cost and rapid diagnostic tool for COVID-19 infections, according to researchers at the University of Toronto.
Michael Glogauer, professor at the university's Faculty of Dentistry and head of dental oncology at Princess Margaret Cancer Centre, is working with partners at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre, North York General Hospital, Sinai Health Systems and the University Health Network to research the viability of the platform.
The novel coronavirus that causes COVID-19 infections invades epithelial cells, such as those lining the lungs. But these epithelial cells are also prevalent in large numbers in the mouth, and especially on the tongue, where respiratory droplets are expelled. COVID-19 binds to the body's epithelial cells through ACE-2 receptors – and, as Glogauer notes, "It just so happens that the tongue expresses extremely high levels of ACE-2 receptors."
That makes the mouth, which is also one of the most easily accessible sites on the body – requiring no needles, and, unlike the nose, causing no pain when swabbed – an ideal place from which to cull samples.
"The tongue is a big net," says Glogauer. "It will always be positive if an infection is present."
Recently, Canada has launched a number of detection platforms to help with the fight against COVID-19. Some proposed detection methods require specialized technology or equipment. Others, like the common nasopharyngeal swab method, utilize certain chemicals for testing that are currently in short supply around the world.
But Glogauer says there's a testing platform already in use which could make a significant difference in making COVID-19 testing more widely available: the pap smear.
"Pap smears show viral changes and inflammation in epithelial cells," he says, adding that's what technicians are on the hunt for with COVID-19.
The test is also routine and simple: epithelial cells are scraped, mounted onto slides, stained and viewed under a microscope. The cost? Approximately $30 per test.
Glogauer adds that laboratories across Canada could rapidly employ the platform.
"All labs are set up to do pap smears," he says.
The process of adapting the test would be virtually painless, too. Samples could be easily collected by giving subjects an oral rinse and brushing their tongue. Results can be returned in a matter of hours. Importantly, the smear test could represent an easy ally for COVID-19 detection in developing nations, where lab technology is limited.
"If it works, it will be a real game changer for everyone," Glogauer says.
While Glogauer cautions that the technology needs to be fine-tuned in order to prevent false positives, he says there's significant potential to develop a fast and relatively inexpensive tool in the arsenal to find and detect COVID-19.
"Ideally, you want different testing modalities," says Glogauer. "This could be one of them."

Q: Month from week number and year Lets say I have:
Week = 13
Year = 2016
Is there anything in boost or standard library to get the month number (or name) from these two inputs.
I understand a week could overlap across more than one month so any other suggestions would be helpful.
Thanks!

A: If you are willing to use a free, open-source library that is not boost and are using C++11 or later, check out:
https://github.com/HowardHinnant/date
Example code:
#include "date.h"
#include "iso_week.h"
#include <iostream>

int
main()
{
    using namespace iso_week::literals;
    auto ymd = date::year_month_day{2016_y/13_w/mon};
    std::cout << ymd << '\n';
}

This outputs:
2016-03-28

There are year(), month() and day() getters on the ymd object.
There is full documentation at the above link.  "date.h" and "iso_week.h" are header only, so there is no need to link to any other source.
These computations strictly follow the rules for the ISO week-based year outlined here.  The first week of the year begins on the Monday following the last Thursday of December of the preceding year.  This means that sometimes an ISO-year for a date is different than the Gregorian year.  For example 2016_y/jan/1 == 2015_y/53_w/fri, and in this pseudo-code 2016_y and 2015_y have different types (date::year and iso_week::year) so they can not be accidentally confused.  The C++ type system will find accidental ambiguities at compile-time.
It is just as easy to go the other direction:
#include "date.h"
#include "iso_week.h"
#include <iostream>

int
main()
{
    using namespace date::literals;
    auto iso = iso_week::year_weeknum_weekday{2016_y/mar/28};
    std::cout << iso << '\n';
}

which outputs:
2016-W13-Mon

In C++14, if your inputs are compile-time constants, then the result can be constexpr (a compile-time computation).  (requires more constexpr muscle than VS-2015 currently supports)

A: #include <boost/date_time/gregorian/gregorian.hpp>

using namespace boost::gregorian;

// Initialize variables with some values
int week_nmb = 13, year = 2017;

date d = date(year, Jan, 1) + weeks(week_nmb);

int month = d.month();


I need another word for WANNABEES like if a tv show is running in which contestants participate as singers and i want to change its name what the other attractive word can be ..replacement word for WANNABEES.
We did this one before, as a response to your Guest posting. 'Poseurs' and 'hopefuls' were suggested.
maybe you could say 'aspiring singers (or actors or whatever)' instead of wannabees.
Why Comma Needed (If Needed)?


I'm a big fan of video games. I like anything related to Nintendo, Capcom, and M.U.G.E.N., which is a customizeable 2D fighting game engine. I've made some creations with mugen, which can be downlaoded from my website.

Q: criação de menu no html5 e css3 Eu criei um menu com HTML5 e CSS3, até ai tudo bem, deixei ele bem no canto superior da tela e tudo certinho, só que quando abro o mesmo arquivo em outra tela o menu não está mais formatado no canto certinho como eu tinha deixado.
Alguém tem alguma dica ou algo que eu estou deixando de fazer?

nav#menu ul {
  list-style: none;
  text-transform: uppercase;
  position: absolute;
  top: -15px;
  left: 450px
}
nav#menu li {
  display: inline-block;
  background-color: #dddddd;
  padding: 6px;
  margin: -1px
}
nav#menu {
  display: block;
}

  <hgroup>

Milky Way

Solar System

  </hgroup>

Sun

Mercury

Venus

Earth

Mars

Jupter

Saturn

Uranus

Neptune

Pluto

A: Cara não sei se entendi muito bem, mas em fim. Interpretei como se você quisesse deixar seu menu no canto superior direito da tela.
Caso esse seja o problema a solução pode ser bem simples.
No seu seletor nav#menu ul
nav#menu ul {
    list-style: none;
    text-transform: uppercase;
    position: absolute;
    top: -15px;
    left: 450px
}

Você está colocando o valor negativo no seu top sendo que não tem necessidade, basta você adicionar o margin: 0; e top: 0; para ele ficar totalmente no topo da sua tela.
Agora para deixar seu menu no canto direito você deve adicionar a propriedade right: 0; pois essa propriedade vai deixar seu menu 0 pixels na direita, ou seja, colado no lado direito da tela.
Resumindo, tente deixar seu código para esse seletor dessa forma:
nav#menu ul {
    list-style: none;
    text-transform: uppercase;
    margin: 0;
    position: absolute;
    top: 0;
    right: 0
}

Dessa forma seu menu deve funcionar em outras telas conforme o esperado.
Espero que a resposta seja útil.

MODRICI, Dec 4 (AFP): Luka Modric's journey from Croatian war child to the world's best footballer was celebrated when the Real Madrid midfielder hoisted the Ballon d'Or.
A national hero in his home country and crowned the best player on the planet, Modric was rewarded for his key role in Croatia's historic run to the World Cup final and his club Real Madrid's third straight Champions League trophy.
"It's a unique feeling. I'm happy, proud and honoured," said Modric, who also won the FIFA Player of the Year award in September.
The star-studded Paris ceremony could hardly be further removed from Modric's early years as a child refugee, fleeing the burned-out shell of a remote Croatian cottage where he spent part of his childhood.
The player's grandfather, also named Luka, lived in the house, lying on a mountain road winding through the Modrici hamlet.
His grandfather was killed by Serb forces, the house was burned and the family fled to the coastal town of Zadar, some 40 kilometres (19 miles) away.
It was there that Modric, born in 1985, began his footballing odyssey, drawing attention for the first time to his budding abilities.
"I heard about a little hyperactive boy constantly playing with a football in the corridor of a refugee hotel, even going to sleep with it," said Josip Bajlo, who was then coach at the First Division club NK Zadar.
As soon as Bajlo saw Modric play he signed him up for the club's football school, where he immediately stood out.
"He was an idol to his generation, a leader, a favourite," Bajlo told AFP earlier this year.
The 1991-1995 war with Serb rebels, during which Zadar and the surrounding region were heavily shelled, toughened Modric, according to those close to him.
"It happened a million times that we were going to training as the shells were falling, and we were running to shelters," said childhood friend Marijan Buljat, who trained and played with Modric while growing up.
Modric left Zadar, where he remains a legend, for Dinamo Zagreb in 2000 and then joined English Premier League club Tottenham Hotspur in 2008.
After a bidding war he was snapped up by Real Madrid in 2012.
But his popularity in Croatia and his image as a modest family man was tarnished by his testimony last year during the multi-million-euro corruption trial of former Dinamo Zagreb chief Zdravko Mamic.
Modric's testimony supported Mamic's case against allegations of corruption, angering many fans who saw the trial as a chance to clean up the corruption-ridden sport.
Prosecutors eventually charged Modric in March for giving false evidence, but dropped the case on Monday due to a lack evidence.
Any lingering anger against Modric had evaporated long ago, however, after he brilliantly inspired Croatia to their first World Cup final last summer.
Despite the 4-2 defeat by France, more than 500,000 people gave captain Modric and his team a heroic welcome on their return to Zagreb.

Still going strong, this show.
See, the problem with this theme is people think it came from some song. Let me disappoint you this early on and say that it did not, and that there is no obscure song from which they took the excerpt from. Sorry. People who know the Australian rock scene might even argue or think that it came from a Jet song.
It does sound like something Jet would come up with. By the way, there have already been a number of different openings in the series' 4-season run. I'll be bold here and say that the original tunes used as backgrounds for the short openings were made by the show's composer Jon Ehrlich. Mr. Ehrlich is known in television circles and has composed for the shows Parenthood and Party of Five among others.
Let's start by watching two of the the real opening credits; the first one below being from the second episode of the third season, according to the one who uploaded the video.

The Distance Education (DE) Program provides comprehensive services that empower faculty and students with skills that are essential to success in online/hybrid courses. DE helps faculty utilize instructional technologies to enrich the learning process.
Distance education is not a new concept. With the introduction of computers, the Internet revolutionized the entire distance learning model. With the success of the Open University classroom idea, educational institutions interested in offering distance education programs started moving to online/hybrid learning.
Online courses at East Los Angeles College are delivered over the Internet using the Canvas learning management system (LMS). These types of courses are called fully online courses. Students sign on to Canvas where they "meet" their instructor, access the syllabus and other course materials, participate in discussions, collaborate with other students, take quizzes and exams, and turn in assignment. Not all, but some, online courses do require students to come to campus to take exams.
Courses which are held both on-campus and online simultaneously are called hybrid/blended courses. Students who take hybrid/blended courses will still go on campus to meet their instructor and classmates just like a regular on-campus class, but they will also do some of the course work online via the Canvas LMS. Some of the blended courses also link out to publishers CMS that allows instructor to enhance the learning experience.

Jake Gyllenhaal Will Take You on the Worst First Date
May we take you on a date? Jake Gyllenhaal and his mother might ask. Photo: Bruce Glikas/Getty Images
Here are some acceptable first-date activities: drinks, bowling, sneaking tallboys into the park, taking in a concert by a hip musical group, customizing burritos at Chipotle. If you're a celebrity, feel free to upgrade — your options include: a helicopter ride to Chipotle, chartering a private flight from New York to L.A., where you've rented out an entire In-N-Out for just you two, a unicorn ride.
And here is a first-date activity that is commonly frowned upon: going home to mom, which just so happens to be Jake Gyllenhaal's go-to move, as he revealed on The Ellen DeGeneres Show yesterday:
"I always bring my dates to my mother's house for the first date. I think that's a good move," he said.
A good move. In other news, Jake Gyllenhaal is currently totally single.

Australian Classification Board and USK both show that Fire Emblem Engage's production was wrapped up back in 2021
We recently learned that the codename for Fire Emblem Three Houses was 'Iron17' and 'Iron19' for Fire Emblem Engage, which led to speculation that there is another Fire Emblem game that exists between Engage and Three Houses. The speculations have now only gone wilder as we also just learned that both the Australian Classification Board and the USK in Germany show that Fire Emblem Engage's production was wrapped up sometime in 2021, meaning there was at least a one-year gap between the game finishing production and its release. Some speculate that the other game could be the rumored remake of Fire Emblem Genealogy, or it could just be a project that was canceled. Only time will tell.
According to both the Aussie Classification Board and the USK in Germany, Fire Emblem Engage's year of production was 2021. Technically the German page says "test date". Could be that Nintendo sat on this one for a while or took a while to wrap up. pic.twitter.com/957cHobmho

PictorLabs Launches with More Than $18.8 Million to Advance Transformative Virtual Staining
December 1, 2022, 6:30 AM ·5 min read
AI-powered virtual staining demonstrates potential to revolutionize histopathology, simplify lab workflows, and accelerate drug discovery
Financing co-led by M Ventures, SCC Soft Computer and Koç Holding
Founded on technology from UCLA's Ozcan Research Group, proprietary platform provides sustainable alternative to standard chemical staining practices
LOS ANGELES, Dec. 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- PictorLabs, Inc., a digital pathology company developing an AI-powered virtual staining platform to revolutionize histopathology and accelerate clinical research with the goal of improving patient outcomes, today announced its launch with the completion of a $15.2 million financing round led by M Ventures, SCC Soft Computer, and Koç Holding. Since its founding in 2019, PictorLabs has raised $18.8 million to commercialize virtual staining and reimagine the future of histopathology. Pioneered by co-founders Aydogan Ozcan, Ph.D., UCLA Chancellor's Professor, and Yair Rivenson, Ph.D., PictorLabs Chief Executive Officer and Chief Technology Officer, the company's technology applies deep learning algorithms to efficiently and accurately stain tissues in silico, producing near-instantaneous virtual stains. From a single unstained tissue sample, PictorLabs' proprietary platform can produce an unlimited number of virtual stains that are indistinguishable from analogous chemical stains.
PictorLabs, Inc.
Current histopathology practices have remained largely unchanged for decades and involve complex chemical-based tissue staining processes with many challenges including prolonged time to results, tissue sample limitations, inconsistent quality of results, and chemical waste generation which can complicate and delay research and patient diagnoses. PictorLabs' novel approach enables the production of unlimited virtual stains from a single unstained tissue sample – eliminating the need for chemical staining, reducing the time to results, and allowing for repeated biomarker testing without the need for multiple tissue samples.
"PictorLabs' platform overcomes inherent issues in histopathology through the application of AI-powered algorithms that produce virtual stains which are indistinguishable from their chemistry-based counterparts. By virtually staining tissue images in the digital realm, our approach simplifies and accelerates workflows, speeding up drug discovery and diagnostic decision-making with the goal of ultimately improving patient outcomes. With the support of our experienced investors, we're now well placed to systematically expand our platform" said Dr. Rivenson.
To date, PictorLabs has demonstrated successful virtual staining for several well-validated disease biomarkers and is pursuing additional opportunities in disease areas with high unmet need. PictorLabs will use this latest round of funding to expand its biomarker portfolio, develop novel products, grow the company's talent base, and build out its corporate infrastructure.
"At M Ventures, we are excited by the results demonstrated by PictorLabs' virtual staining technology, confirming the broad research potential of its best-in-class platform. We are excited to support PictorLabs in transforming the practice of histopathology while seamlessly integrating within the existing healthcare paradigm, to better support the needs of researchers, clinicians, and importantly patients" said Dr. Bauke Anninga, Principal, M Ventures.
"We're excited to see PictorLabs advance this next-generation virtual staining technology," said Melih Poyraz, Koç Holding's Strategy and Business Development Director. "With the leadership of their talented team of seasoned engineers, physicians, scientists, and entrepreneurs, who hold an extensive track record of success in bringing medical technologies to market, we look forward to seeing PictorLabs further develop their novel technology to elevate and accelerate the histopathology workflow."
Recently, PictorLabs established a partnership with Charles River Laboratories as part of their sustainability initiatives to reduce water consumption and chemical waste through the adoption of PictorLabs' virtual staining technology – demonstrating the rigor of PictorLabs' technology in a highly productive research setting.

TOM DUROCHER
HORSE TRAINING/CLINICS
Facebook YouTube This site (RSS)
H3 Trainer's Challenge: Brandon Manitoba May 1-3, 2015
…the horse will always tell you the truth
Tom Durocher, the Canadian Horse Whisperer
By way of background, Tom can't remember not being around horses. His late father was a good hand, rode Community pasture, and broke and trained horses for others in the community. Tom's older brothers worked horses as well. 3 brothers rode Community Pasture too. When Tom was 16, he set out in the working world. He worked as a farm hand stacking hay, fencing, calving cows, then started working for the Fishing Lake Community Pasture where he rode for 20 years. Managing the pasture for 4 of those years. Tom started his journey of learning that there was a better way of working with horses after he was given a book "The Man Who Listen to Horses" by Monty Roberts as a christmas present. After reading this book (Twice,) he jokingly said "It would be great if this man had a school I could go to to learn this stuff." His sister Marie, started researching this on the internet and found Monty Robert's International Learning Centre located at the Flag Is Up Farm in Solvang California. Tom then applied to take his Introductory course. This was a big step for him as he would have to travel to California for 4 weeks and leave his family behind. This was also the first time he had been out of the country! Upon successfully completing the 10 month field study and the final exam, Tom was asked by Crawford Hall and Anna Twinney (Former General Manager, and Head Instructor) to take the Advanced Course. Initially, Tom had no interest in pursuing this. He just wanted to fine-tune the horsemanship skills he had developed through the years. After agreeing to take the Advanced course, again having to leave home, he successfully completed it. After Monty Roberts watched Tom work with a raw, unstarted colt, Monty told Sally King - Head Instructor, "We need to talk to him to try and convince him to become an instructor." Again, Tom had no interest in this. But after serveral heart to heart talks Tom had with Monty and discussing it with his late wife, Lorna and their family, he decided to head back to California to become an Intern Instructor. On June 5, 2005, Tom received his Instructor certification and was endorsed by Monty Roberts as being Canada's ONLY Certified Monty Roberts Instructor. Tom jokes and says: "Not bad for a little bush boy from Alberta" Today, Tom lives (Where he was born and raised) on the Fishing Lake Metis Settlement in Northeastern Alberta Canada. He lives on his ranch with his wife Kelly. He has 3 grown children and 5 grandchildren. Tom is Metis. He takes pride in his upbringing, his father's Metis culture and that of his mother's First Nation culture. Tom is often asked to sing and drum at traditional ceremonies and community functions. When he isn't on the road holding clinics, Tom starts horses and works with remedial horses others bring to him to "Fix." When time allows, he also pleasure rides with his wife and friends.
