Bismillah-hir-Rahmanir-Rahim
Regional Governor,
Mr Mayor,
Village chiefs and dignitaries of Komoguel, Imam of the Mosque
Honoured guests,
Asalaam-o-aleikum
Today I am pleased to be able to inaugurate the newly-restored Great Mosque of Mopti, also known as Komoguel Mosque, and to later visit the various projects currently underway to improve the environment in the historic district of Komoguel.
I should like to extend special thanks to the President of the Republic and the Minister for Territorial Administration and Local Community Affairs for their presence here today and for the support given by the government, regional authorities, the Mayor, Mr Oumar Bathily, the town council, and the Komoguel Local Development Committee to this project.
The significance of this project extends far beyond the physical restoration of the architectural structure of the mosque.
The history of the Ummah has reason to remember the prestige and influence of Mali 's great mosques. At the height of the empire, in the eighth century, it was from these great seats of learning, these veritable centres of intellectual and spiritual activity, that Islam spread across Africa . It is therefore an immense privilege for me to be able to restore these magnificent mosques. Here in Mopti, and in Djenne or Timbuktu, the great tradition of mud brick building has been revived and the skills acquired can henceforth be put into practice in the construction of all mud brick buildings, whether intended for religious or secular purposes.
The work of revitalising the mosques is gradually being extended to their surrounding neighbourhoods to include all residential accommodation situated in the shadow of the minarets. How wonderfully symbolic it is that the outcome of efforts to restore the mosques should be to improve the quality of life of the people whose lives follow the same rhythm as theirs!
The restoration of the Great Mosque of Mopti is the result of close collaboration between the Ministry of Culture and the National Cultural Heritage Department (DNPC), the regional and local authorities, the Mosque Committee and the Aga Khan Trust for Culture, and of the dedication of numerous professionals and craftspeople from architects and conservation experts to stone masons, bricklayers, plasterers, metal workers, potters and electricians.
This project has made it possible to combine modern heritage conservation techniques with the processes and materials traditionally employed in the construction of mud brick buildings. The participation in the project of the few stone masons who still practice banco pourri has meant that more than 30 young people have been trained in this traditional technique, thus ensuring that is handed down to the next generation.
This is especially relevant in Mali where there is a danger that traditional artisans will gradually disappear, taking with them the skills and knowledge accumulated by previous generations of builders. Hence, restoring this important monument has provided the opportunity to perpetuate a tradition and also to ensure the future conservation of built heritage with appropriate techniques, competently applied.
Many other buildings and villages constructed out of mud which may be less visible but are nonetheless significant in the context of the region are awaiting inspection and urgent protection and will require considerable cooperation on the part of national institutions and international organisations. It is encouraging to know that Mali has been selected to host this year's international Terra conference on mud brick architecture. In the next few years, the AKTC plans to contribute to this international effort, not only by restoring important buildings but also, in cooperation with the Ministry of Culture, by setting up a national list of mud brick structures, a move that is becoming increasingly urgent in view of the increasing deterioration of the country's mud brick architectural heritage and the dangers it faces.
In parallel to the restoration of the Great Mosque, the Trust has, in collaboration with Mopti's local community and other AKDN agencies, launched a pilot project to improve the quality of life of people living in the immediate neighbourhoods, by responding to some of their most pressing needs. The AKTC s' initial commitment is to improve access to water and to an upgraded sewage network and to put in place social development, vocational training and micro-finance projects.
While these environmental management programmes centering on the mosques are designed to ensure that the whole population will benefit from an improved quality of life, the work nevertheless forms part of a more global vision of urban development.
Indeed, my fear is that urban modernisation will lead to an increase in property speculation and the uncontrolled development of tourist infrastructures which will eventually swallow up the mosques within the urban fabric. Sadly, we see that in many large Muslim cities, the minarets of our mosques, those towering symbols of our faith from the top of which the call to prayer rings out, are lost amid blocks of local authority housing, drowned out by the hubbub of the city.
My hope is that the regeneration of the areas around the mosques will mean the preservation and protection of the heritage of our glorious past which deserves our respect and admiration.
And it is our duty as Muslims to contribute to and to encourage this effort, as the Holy Qu'ran reminds us by commanding us to leave the world in a better condition than that in which we received it, and instructing us to help one another in the performance of good works.

Two IEA Members Dig Deep as Member Organizers
GEMs | Organizing | Working For You
Christina Felix (left) and Maddie Lauritzen (right) are growing as ambassadors of member engagement.
For much of her 10-year career as an educator, Christina Felix really didn't understand how easy it was to engage with the Idaho Education Association and her local education association.
And Maddie Laurtizen spent the first of her two years as an educator feeling unconnected to her colleagues and her profession.
But after taking leaps of their own into the work of their local education associations and joining IEA's Growing Engaged Members (GEMs) initiative in southwest Idaho, both are emerging as ambassadors of engagement, soaking up experience and knowledge in how to energize members in the important work of their union.
The pair recently joined IEA staffers at a Year Round Organizing conference hosted by the National Education Association in Portland November 18-20. They spent three days learning the ins and outs of engaging and organizing members from NEA's best.
Felix and Lauritzen joined IEA staffers at NEA's Year Round Organizing conference Nov. 18-20
"I want to know how to propel the change that educators want to see," said Felix, a fourth grade elementary teacher who was recently elected president of the Parma Education Association. The conference gave her an opportunity to dig in and learn from national experts and other member organizers from around the country.
She said as her engagement with the association builds and her knowledge of it grows, she cannot help but feel a deep appreciation for the camaraderie the association offers members — from the national level all the way down to her own school building in Parma.
"It's not just me showing up," she said. "It's a whole community."
Lauritzen, a 7th grade English teacher at Sawtooth Middle School and member of the West Ada Education Association, was initially unsure of herself and her place in the profession, like most new educators. When asked to help organize her colleagues around the work of her local, she was hesitant — not sure how to start conversations with more experienced educators about engaging with a union she herself had only just joined.
"I didn't expect I would enjoy being a member organizer in the way that I have," said Lauritzen. "Being engaged with the association and GEMs gave me the confidence as a young educator to have those conversations. It also gave me more confidence in the classroom."
She said learning about the association and encouraging others to be part of its work helped her better understand her own rights and tactics for dealing with students, parents and administrators. Her union engagement offers professional insight and camaraderie that might take years to build otherwise, she said.
Her short tenure as an educator and then member organizer for the WAEA taught her that "people aren't unwilling" to join the association and get involved in its work.
"They just didn't know or weren't asked to be more engaged," she said. "Lots of people just haven't been talked to about the association."
For both Lauritzen and Felix, the NEA conference broadened their vision about the support and influence behind IEA members — access to expertise and resources, hearing how other educators deal with the same challenges they face, pro tips from those who've been in the union trenches for years.
And they want every Idaho educator to know the support and camaraderie they are discovering is there for any educator who needs it.
"The association is so approachable — just reach out," Felix said.
"And don't undervalue your own experience," Lauritzen added.

Q: How to solve for a trigonometric inequality $2\cos(2x)\cos(x)+\cos(2x)\gt0$ Can someone please help me solve this inequality:
$2\cos(2x)\cos(x)+\cos(2x)\gt0$
I know how to get the values for $x$, but what I don't understand is how the answer is $0 < x < 45$ and $120 < x < 135$. How do you get these answers?

A: This might help:
If we work with range $0º<x<180º$, then
$2\cos(2x)\cos(x)+\cos(2x)=\cos(2x)(2\cos(x)+1)=(\cos(x)-\sin(x))(2\cos(x)+1)>0$.
Now notice that
\begin{align}
 2\cos(x)+1  \begin{cases} >0 & \mbox{if } 0<x<45º \\ <0 & \mbox{if }180º>x>45º\end{cases}
\end{align}
\begin{align}
 \cos(x)-\sin(x)\begin{cases} >0 & \mbox{if } 0<x<120º \\ <0 & \mbox{if }120º<x<180º\end{cases}
\end{align}
Then combining the above inequalities:
\begin{align}
 (\cos(x)-\sin(x))(2\cos(x)+1)>0  \qquad \mbox{if } 0<x<45º \mbox{ and } 120º<x<180º.
\end{align}

Q: Best way to return the first repeated element of array This is an interview question:
What is the best way to return the first repeated element out of the array of integers?
Example:
Given an array [12, 46, 244, 0, 12, 83, 48, 98, 233, 83, 26, 91, 119, 148, 98].
The return value in this case is 12.
How can this be done?

A: This will give you all the duplicate values and their original positions:
$diff = array_diff_assoc($array, array_unique($array));
var_dump($diff);

result:
array(3) {
  [4]=> int(12)
  [9]=> int(83)
  [14]=> int(98)
}

A: function findDuplicate ($array) {
  while (($item = array_shift($array)) !== null) {
    if (in_array($item, $array)) return $item;
  }
}

A: You could use array_unique to remove all the duplicate values, then iterate over the original and resulting arrays and return the first value that doesn't appear in the resulting array.  Something like this:
$arr = array(12, 46, 244, 0, 12, 83, 48, 98, 233, 83, 26, 91, 119, 148, 98);

function first_dupe($arr) {
    $res = array_unique($arr);

    foreach ($arr as $key => $val) {
        if ($res[$key] !== $val)
            return $val;
    }
}

echo first_dupe($arr);

Working demo: http://codepad.org/atFMrhLW.

A: $arrs = array(12, 46, 244, 0, 12, 83, 48, 98, 233, 83, 26, 91, 119, 148, 98);

// or a associate array like as $arrs = array('a'=>12, 'b'=>46, 'c'=>244, 'd'=>0, 'e'=>12, 'f'=>83, 'g'=>48, 'h'=>98, 'i'=>233, 'j'=>83, 'k'=>26, 'l'=>91, 'm'=>119, 'n'=>148, 'o'=>98);

$data = "12, 46, 244, 0, 12, 83, 48, 98, 233, 83, 26, 91, 119, 148, 98";

static $repeat  = '';

foreach($arrs as $arr){

   if (substr_count($data,$arr)>1) {

     $repeat = $arr;
     break;
  }

}

if ($repeat) echo 'The first repeated element out of the array of integers is '.$repeat;

A: i think that if you look of performance, foreach loop is the faster
# temp array
$array_help = array();

# run over the array
foreach ($array as $val) {

    if (isset($array_help[$val]))
     # found if is set already !
        return $val;

    else
       # its the first time this value appear
       $array_help[$val] = 1;
}

A: $testData = array(46, 12, 244, 0, 12, 83, 48, 98, 233, 83, 26, 91, 119, 148, 98);

function repeated($val) {
    return $val > 1;
}

$firstRepeatedElement = array_shift(array_keys(array_filter(array_count_values($testData),'repeated')));

A: function getFirstRepetition($array) {
    $prev = array();
    foreach($array as $value) {

        if (in_array($value, $prev)) {
            return $value;
        }

        $prev[] = $value;
    }
    return FALSE;
}

CodePad.

A: a loopless solution using recursion . I think it will be fastest but take more memory.  Fast because size of array keep on decreasing as we move ahead hence less workload on cpu.
 $data = array(46, 12, 244, 0, 12, 83, 48, 98, 233, 83, 26, 91, 119, 148, 98);

    function find(&$input)
    {
    $current = array_shift($input);
    if(in_array($current,$input))
    {
    return $current;
    }
    return find($input);
    }

    echo find($data);

A: $arrs = array(12, 46, 244, 0, 12, 83, 48, 98, 233, 83, 26, 91, 119, 148, 98);

static $repeat  = '';

foreach($arrs as $arr) {

   if ((count(array_keys($arrs,$arr))) > 1) {

        $repeat = $arr;
        break;

   }

}

if ($repeat) echo 'The first repeated element out of the array of integers is '.$repeat;

//This solution is working for associate array too, for example:

// $arrs = array('a'=>12, 'b'=>46, 'c'=>244, 'd'=>0, 'e'=>12, 'f'=>83, 'g'=>48, 'h'=>98, 'i'=>233, 'j'=>83, 'k'=>26, 'l'=>91, 'm'=>119, 'n'=>148, 'o'=>98);

A: $array = array(12, 46, 46, 0, 18, 83, 48, 98, 233, 83, 26, 91, 119, 148, 98);
$count_array = array_count_values($array);
foreach($count_array as $key=>$value)
{
    if($value>=2)
    {
       echo $key;
       break;
    }

}

A: $arr = array(12, 46, 244, 0, 12, 83, 48, 98, 233, 83, 26, 91, 119, 148, 98);
$arrHelp = array();
foreach($arr as $int) {
    if (in_array($int, $arrHelp)) {
        echo $int;
        break;
    }
    else {
        array_push($arrHelp, $int);
    }
}

A:         here N is size of array and A is array,
        step1:add N to index of the value
        step2:traverse the array and find the first number which has frequency
              greater than 1 break there.

O(n) with O(1) size complexity!

                for(int i=0;i<N;++i)
                        A[A[i]%N]+=N;

                    int val,freq;
                    for(int i=0;i<N;++i)
                    {
                        val=A[i]%N;
                        freq=A[val]%N;
                        if(freq>1)
                        {
                            cout<<val;
                            break;
                        }
                    }

A: Or you could use array_count_values() function to fetch that.
    $arr = array(12, 46, 244, 0, 12, 83, 48, 98, 233, 83, 26, 91, 119, 148, 98);
    $freq_arr = array_count_values($arr);

    echo $freq_arr[0];

'E3' Roundup: Everything You Need to Know from 'E3'
By Emelie
As the press conferences at E3 2019 are over, and the expo itself really starts, here are some of the highlights from the past few days.
Electronic Arts didn't technically participate in E3 2019, instead choosing to host their own EA Play Event in the days before like they did last year.
With 10+ minutes of gameplay shown, EA shows off the main protagonist, a young padawan on the run named Cal, traversing via running on walls and swinging and grappling his way around. In combat Cal uses both his lightsaber and different force abilities in his fight to free the people from the grasp of the Empire. You can play Fallen Order on PS4, Xbox One and PC starting November 15.
The Sims 4: Island Living
This new expansion, coming to Mac and PC on June 21 and to consoles on July 16, will allow your sims to move seamlessly between water and land, as well as diving and swimming with dolphins. You have to watch out for the active volcano though, since it can send a ball of fiery death hurtling through your neighborhood. Also, there are mermaids. What's not to like?
A new legend was announced for Battle Charge Season 2. His name is Wattson, and he uses an electrified fence and powerful pylons to wreak havoc. Season 2 also brings a new ranked mode, along with some changes in weaponry and stacking of weekly and daily challenges, making leveling up easier.
Keanu Reeves himself got on stage to announce his presence in the game, as well as the release date for the game. He also went through a bit about the game itself, calling it "breathtaking", to which an audience member called back, "you're breathtaking" creating a brand new meme. The game will be set in an open-world landscape, with a branching storyline and customizable characters. You will play as a mercenary in the seedy underbelly of a world where people have become obsessed with cybernetic enhancements. Reeves seems very excited about the game, and we trust him on that. Cyberpunk 2077 will be out April 16 2020.
Project Scarlett is the next generation Xbox, slated for release for the 2020 holidays. The console will also be backwards compatible with previous Xbox consoles, a very sought after quality among console gamers. The main focus on the next generation console seems to be on shortening load times and upping the performance of the hardware.
Gears 5, the latest installment in the Gears of War-series, will center around Kait Diaz (voiced by Laura Bailey), and playing as Kait you will have to uncover the origin of both her family and the Locust. JD Fenix, Delmont Walker, and Martin Fenix are also back for Gears 5. The game releases to the general public on September 10, but if you have Xbox Game Pass Ultimate you can get your hands on it 4 days early.
B.J Blazcowicz has diasppeared, and in Wolfenstein: Youngblood his daughters go on a rescue mission to try and find their father. The levels of the game are going to be more open-ended than previous Wolfenstein games, and will feature previously unseen weapons and upgrades (though you will see the hatchet again). The game drops on July 26 and you will be able to play either solo or co-op on PC, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and PS4.
There will be tons of new content coming to The Elder Scrolls: Blades in the coming update. A new dragon questline, new jobs, solo arena battles, and a custom jewelry system. The game is currently available on iOS and Android, but will also be coming to Nintendo Switch this coming fall. This is major news since there will be support for cross-play between the mobile versions, as well as cross-progression, which means you will be able to play on your mobile device now, and then continue where you are in the game on the Nintendo Switch.
Featuring new weapons to use as you kill your way through hellish monsters with machine parts, the game will also have a new "Battlemode". It is a new multiplayer mode that has one player as the Doomslayer, and two other players controlling demons, and you fight until someone wins best out of three. Though DOOM Eternal was announced back in 2018, it won't be available to the public until November 22. However, the trailer shown at E3 indicates that the game will be worth the wait.
There is no set protagonist in Watch Dogs: Legion, you can either switch between characters, or play the one you want to play as until you die, in which case that character will permanently die. Set in post-brexit London, all the characters are working together to try and for a resistance to liberate the city. With plenty of characters to chose from, the big star in this announcement seems to be Helen, the granny ex-assassin, who took social media by storm. The potential of creating your own timeline through how and when you chose to play which characters is astounding, but unfortunately you will have to wait until March 6 2020 to get your hands on the game.
Roller Champions takes place in 2029, and you play in teams of three in this team PvP game that combines racing and sports. You compete in a futuristic style of roller derby, where you go around a track in teams of three and score points by completing laps with the ball in team possession before scoring a goal. The game will feature fully customizable characters, with each game you win you gain fans and can land sponsorship deals, and you start from the bottom and work yourself up. The game is available for download for a first demo until June 14, so grab it here while you can. The full game is scheduled for release early next year.
In this new fantasy game you set out to rescue ancient gods from the claws of Typhon, one of the deadliest creatures in all of Greek mythology. There will be puzzles, dungeons and heroic feats to complete, and the trailer promises a brightly colored world to explore using the powers that the pantheon grants you. The game will be available on PC, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One and PS4 on Februrary 25 next year.
Rainbow Six Quarantine
Built on the same engine as the very popular Rainbow Six Seige, Quarantine is a new coop tactical shooter where you will team up with two other people to go on different missions. You will be facing off against some kind of mutant parasite that seems to have taken hold of both humans and their surroundings. The gameplay will be very familiar to players of Rainbow Six Seige, ranging from how to use gadgets and weaponry to tactics in the game, though it is absolutely not necessary to have played it before jumping into Rainbow Six Quarantine. The game doesn't have a set date of release yet, though it is slated for a 2020 release.
While we did get a teaser trailer and a release date at the Final Fantasy VII concert on Sunday, Square Enix opened up their announcements with a deep dive into the upcoming and much anticipated Final Fantasy VII Remake. Producer Yoshinori Kitase mentioned during the conference that there will be two Blu-Ray discs worth of content, with the first of the stories to tell taking place in Midgar with the retelling of Final Fantasy VII. Aside from the full length trailer, they also showed a gameplay trailer where they demonstrated how combat will work. You will be able to switch between party members to utilize the full potential of the characters, but they will keep fighting even if you are not directly controlling them. Much like the system in Final Fantasy XV, each attack charges a bar, that when full can be used to trigger extra powerful attacks. You also need to charge these bars to be able to use items during battle, such as drinking a potion. The game looks truly amazing, and the crowd went wild at the appearance of Tifa, one of the few characters we have not gotten a glimpse of before. Final Fantasy VII Remake is available for pre-order right now, and will be out on March 3, 2020.
With a star-studded voice acting cast consisting of Troy Baker, Nolan North, Travis Willingham, Laura Bailey and Jeff Schine, Marvel's Avengers reassemble the earth's mightiest heroes. The trailer starts during A-Day, a celebration of the superheroes that is interrupted by Task Master, one of the many villains to make life miserable for the general public. Things do not go exactly as planned, but the remaining Avengers do their best to keep going. This will be a service game, with the notable difference that new characters and regions will be free, and there will be no loot boxes. Marvel's Avengers will be available on PS4, Xbox One, and PC on May 15 2020.
Final Fantasly VIII Remastered
When the announcement came last year of multiple games in the Final Fantasy-franchise getting ported to Nintendo Switch and Xbox One there was an outcry due to Final Fantasy VIII not being on the list of games. Now we know why. Final Fantasy VIII Remastered will be coming to PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and Steam sometime later this year.
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Sequel
This was perhaps the biggest surprise of all the conferences, Nintendo dropped a short teaser announcing that there is a sequel to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild in the works. While the trailer is truly a teaser, there has been much speculation about the short hair that Zelda sports. Is this a hint that there is a multiplayer coming, or simply that we will be able to switch between playing as Link and Zelda? Only time will tell, but for now, the entire gaming community is positively buzzing witht the news. There is no information on the release date as of yet.
Set up on the beach and create your dream living situation with the deserted island getaway package provided to you by Nook, Inc. That is the premise of this new Animal Crossing-game. Compared to the previous games in the series, it seems like you will be crafting pretty much everything your new little village will need. The trailer also shows a bunch of villagers getting together on the beach, which might mean that you will be able to visit your neighbors again. Originally slated for release later this year, the game needed a bit more time for completion, so it will drop on March 20, 2020.
There had been previous talk about Luigi's Mansion 3, but it was properly confirmed during the Nintendo Direct conference. The trailer showcases some of Luigi's new abilities in the coming game, such as a slam-attack, a suction shot, and a sidekick aptly named Gooigi. With Gooigi you can reach places where Luigi can't go, and you can also use him to play coop with one of your friends. The trailer also introduces the Scare Scraper, an 8 player coop mode where you have to work together to defeat the ghosts and save the Toads before time runs out. Luigi's Mansion 3 will be available on Nintendo Switch later this year.

Take a masterclass in living it up in the French Riviera with George Clooney and Ryan Gosling. Both the actors picked colours that resonate with Cote d'Azur's blue-and-white freshness. Clooney went for a classic two-button midnight-blue dinner jacket, a refreshing contrast to his wife Amal Clooney's pastel piece. However, it was Gosling's pick of a white jacket, teamed with blue trousers and a matching bow-tie that set him apart from from the sea of black-and-white tuxedoes.
For those who love to remain classic, and suit-up for an evening out, take a cue from Justin Timberlake and Colin Firth. Simple, predictable, yet an impactful take on monochrome. Razor-sharp and finely-tailored are the key points to remember. Take your attire up a few notches and put a bow on it.
There's nothing new about men in suits in a festival as big as Cannes, we agree! But when these men came out wearing a fresh twist on suits, we couldn't help but put them in our favourites. From Edgar Ramirez' pinstriped version to Clive Owen's dressed-down look, it all felt right at home on the French Riviera. Although Mark Ronson and Chris Pine may have steered away from the blue palette, there was no shortage of style in either of their looks. Next time you're travelling, try out the English musician's spruced-up take on flight-gear. Who would have thought that a velvet jacket, often seen only on the red carpet, could double as an in-cabin layer.

FIS opens its doors to the UK seafood community
by editor | Jan 24, 2023 | Latest News, Scottish Fishing Industry, UK Fishing Industry
FIS opens its doors to the UK seafood community with a new name and remit and will now be known as Fisheries Innovation & Sustainability
Fisheries Innovation Scotland announces new name and remit
FIS, the coalition of experts driving strategic innovation in seafood, is expanding in scope to reach a wider range of seafood businesses and communities. Fisheries Innovation Scotland is now Fisheries Innovation & Sustainability, reflecting the support FIS is extending to the whole UK seafood community.
At the FIS AGM in December, the Board formally agreed that FIS should evolve to have a UK-wide remit – to facilitate, coordinate and leverage investment for innovation in UK seafood. FIS is funded and governed by its Board of Trustees, consisting of senior representatives of Marks & Spencer, Sainsbury's, Young's Seafood, The Fishmongers' Company and Seafish.
"There are so many new challenges facing not only the Scottish catching sector, but end-to-end along the UK seafood supply chain, which point to an even greater need for innovative thinking. It's time for FIS to serve as a catalyst for greater prosperity and sustainability across UK seafood." – John Goodlad, Chair of FIS Board
"Our current projects add value to businesses and communities across the UK by developing precision fishing gear, supporting decarbonisation in ways that are practical for UK fleets, and piloting 'whole supply chain' digitalisation to improve traceability and verification. We have had wonderful support and advice from our Scottish industry advisors, and we're now establishing a new, inclusive stakeholder structure that reflects our expanded remit." – Kara Brydson, FIS
Executive Director.

Paper talk: Ronaldo rejects €200m move for Juve, Chelsea to announce Sarri today
09 July at 12:25
Cristiano Ronaldo is keen to join Juventus. The Portuguese ace has agreed to join the Old Lady for € 30 million-a-year whilst the Old Lady is ready to offer € 100 million to sign CR7.
Calciomercato.com has exclusively learned why Juve have yet not made an official offer to Real Madrid while the player has also agreed a Champions League bonus to join the Old Lady.
Meantime, according to Tuttosport, the former Manchester United star has rejected an offer coming from China.
Ronaldo was offered € 200 million for the next two seasons but the Portuguese is determined to join Juventus as he aims to win the Champions League with the third different club in his career.
If Florentino agrees to sell Ronaldo for € 100 million the former Red Devil will sign a four-year deal with the Serie A giants.
Juventus will finance a part of the deal through the sales of Gonzalo Higuain and Daniele Rugani to Chelsea.
The Blues are expected to pay a combined € 100 million fee to sign the duo with talks between the two clubs that will begin as soon as Maurizio Sarri takes over in South West London.
According to Il Corriere dello Sport the Blues will announce the arrival of Maurizio Sarri today.
Roman Abramovic, in fact, has made contact with Aurelio De Laurentiis to confirm that he wants to hire the former azzurri boss.
The Russian entrepreneur has also made a bid for Jorginho who was tipped to leave the San Paolo to join Manchester City.
Chelsea, however, have made a better offer than Pep Guardiola's side and Jorginho is going to be the first official signing of Sarri at Chelsea.
According to Tuttosport Sarri has agreed to sign a three-year, € 6 million-a-year deal.

/ Novel Protocol for CNV: "Treat-Extend-Stop"
Novel Protocol for CNV: "Treat-Extend-Stop"
A variation on intravitreal therapy, in which treatment intervals are first extended to 12 weeks and then injections are stopped altogether, can preserve the visual acuity (VA) of patients with wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD) even if their choroidal neovascularization (CNV) recurs, a study by California retina specialists has found.
Their retrospective analysis of outcomes with this "treat-extend-stop" (TES) protocol showed that 37.3% of 385 eyes treated for CNV met the criteria for cessation of therapy. Of these 143 eyes, 70.6% required no further intervention during a mean of 27 months of follow-up. In those that did have a recurrence, 54.8% recovered after retreatment to 20/40 or better, similar to the mean VA in the group when the injections were stopped.1 Patients were able to maintain a 2-line gain in vision (10 letters), even after a recurrence.
ACTIVE. A 30-degree fluorescein angiogram of an 80-year-old patient with wet AMD and active CNV. This image was originally published in the ASRS Retina Image Bank. Carolyn Daley. Neovascular AMD With CNV. Retina Image Bank. 2018; Image Number 27695. © The American Society of Retina Specialists.
Rationale. "Originally I did this study just out of clinical curiosity. I wanted to know what percentage of patients had a recurrence of the CNV after we stopped therapy," said coauthor Sean D. Adrean, MD, who practices in Fullerton, California. "I was relieved to find out that when patients had a recurrence, overall they did not lose vision."
Dr. Adrean said that, based on the literature and on anecdotal reports from colleagues around the country, the most commonly used treat-and-extend protocol for intravitreal treatment of CNV lengthens the interval between injections to 10-12 weeks and continues this schedule indefinitely. But his analysis of 8 years of outcomes in his group's practice suggests that many patients with wet AMD could benefit from the TES approach, he said.
"To know that you can actually stop injecting these patients and they can continue to do well, and only about 30% of eyes [experience a recurrence]—well, this means that you can maybe avoid doing unnecessary injections, or at least reduce the number of injections the patient needs," Dr. Adrean said.
CASE EXAMPLE. (Fig. 1) This 78-year-old patient with wet AMD presented with 20/200 visual acuity (VA) in May 2009. (Fig. 2) Fifty-five months later, after he had received 37 bevacizumab injections under the TES protocol, his CNV regressed, and his VA improved to 20/20-. (Fig. 3) Fourteen months later, he presented with increased metamorphopsia and VA of 20/40, and SD-OCT showed an early recurrence of the CNV. (Fig. 4) Once anti-VEGF therapy resumed with several injections, his vision improved to 20/25.
TES protocol. The authors described their TES protocol as follows:
Therapy begins with at least 3 monthly injections of an anti–vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) agent, until a "dry" macula is confirmed with spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT).
If the macula remains free of fluid, the intervals between injections are extended by 1 to 2 weeks between successive visits, until a 12-week time interval is reached.
If the patient has received at least 7 total injections, and if SD-OCT at 3 successive 12-week visits confirms that CNV has not recurred, the injections are stopped.
Patients return 1 month later and then successively longer by 2-week intervals until 12 weeks is reached. These patients are then monitored quarterly for signs of recurrence.
Monitoring a must. Because the study documented recurrences in a few TES patients as long as 3 years after the cessation of treatment, ongoing monitoring every 3 months is essential, Dr. Adrean said.
"I'm always very frank with them, and I say there's a 30% chance that their CNV could come back. I tell them to come back earlier if they have increased distortion or decreased vision, so we can start treatment again if the CNV has recurred," he said.

The robed figure wears a trailing magical scarf which allows the player to briefly fly; doing so uses up the scarf's magical charge, represented visually by glowing runes on the scarf. The scarf's runes are recharged by walking, or a variety of other means.[4] Touching glowing symbols scattered throughout the levels lengthens the initially vestigial scarf, allowing the player to remain airborne longer. Larger strips of cloth are present in the levels and can be transformed from a stiff, dull gray to vibrant red by singing near them. Doing so may have effects on the world such as releasing bits of cloth, forming bridges, or levitating the player. This, in turn, allows the player to progress in the level by opening doors or allowing them to reach previously inaccessible areas. The robed figure does not have visible arms to manipulate the game world directly.[3] Along the way, the player encounters flying creatures made of cloth, some of which help the player along. In later levels, the player also encounters hostile creatures made of stone, which upon spotting the player rip off parts of the figure's scarf.[2]
The reader, following the narrator's shifting attitude from admiration to surprise and finally to contempt, is led to believe that the author is bent on demonstrating the vast inferiority of the Erewhonians to his fellow Englishmen; but it gradually becomes clear that he attributes to Englishmen much of the irrationality and the ingenious equivocations that make the Erewhonians look foolish. The difference is only one of degree. The technique is close to that of Swiftian satire. In some places it is confused and inconsistent, but in other passages it is both clever and devastating, worthy of the master.
Augustine's work set out to defend Christianity against the criticism of proponents of traditional pagan worship. It launches an attack on the pattern of immorality in Roman life under the worship of the pagan gods and offers, in contrast, the way of life taught by Christianity. His arguments are based on his interpretation of history, both Old Testament history and Roman. There is not a specific practical plan for the government of his imaginary ideal state but rather a distinction drawn on philosophical lines between two guiding principles. In the "City of Earth," the love of self holds precedence over love of God; in the "City of God," the love of God holds precedence over the love of self.

Edward Bellamy, Looking Backward: 2000-1887. Published in 1888, Bellamy's novel imagining a perfect future society spawned a nationwide movement in America. (It also predicted electronic broadcasting and credit cards.) Bellamy's plan for a 'cloud palace for an ideal humanity' also helped to inspire the garden city movement in the US and the UK. The best edition is Looking Backward 2000-1887 (Oxford World's Classics).

One of the first signs of renewed enlightenment in England, after the rude and bloody 15th century, was the appearance of a group of "humanist" scholars that flourished at Oxford and in London in the early decades of the 16th century, notably John Colet, William Latimer, Thomas Linacre, Reginald Pole, and Thomas More — a group that Erasmus pronounced both congenial and distinguished.
The music in Journey was composed and orchestrated by Austin Wintory, who had previously worked with Thatgamecompany on the soundtrack for Flow. Wintory worked closely on the soundtrack with sound designer Steve Johnson, as well as the programming team, so the music would dynamically tie in to both the actions of the player and sound effects caused by nearby game objects, and feel as if it were "unfolding in real time".[28] Johnson felt having short pieces of music that looped without reacting to the player would be a "missed opportunity", and wanted to create music that changed while still containing a composed emotional arc. Jenova Chen met with Wintory at the start of the game's development to describe his vision for the project, and Wintory left the meeting and composed and recorded the main cello theme for the soundtrack that night. He continued to work on the soundtrack for the next three years, experimenting and discarding many ideas.[29] The game's orchestrations were performed by the Skopje Radio Symphonic Orchestra (Makedonskiot filmski orkestar "F.A.M.E.S.") in Macedonia.[30]
One of the few Westerners to interview Osama bin Laden face-to-face, Peter Bergen is a print and television journalist, documentary producer, and the author of four books, three of which were New York Times bestsellers and three of which were named books of the year by the Washington Post. The books have been translated into 20 languages. He is the director of the national security studies program at the New America Foundation in Washington D.C.; a fellow at Fordham University's Center on National Security and CNN's national security analyst. He has held teaching positions at the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University and at the School of Advanced International Studies at Johns Hopkins University.
In December 2014, Gorman received her Master of Arts in History from the University of New Mexico. She is the daughter of the late Dr. Carl Gorman; artist, teacher and one of the original "first twenty-nine" Navajo Code Talkers who devised the initial Navajo code. She is also the youngest sister to the legendary and renowned Navajo artist, the late R.C. Gorman. In 1989, Gorman embarked on a journey to discover that her father had been a Code Talker. With a love of history, her journey has led her through 15 years of in-depth research and interviews. Gorman shares a touching story of young teenage boys seeking adventure and escape. The Code Talker story is the ultimate paradox – a shining achievement for Native America.
Unlike many games, where different songs have different themes for each character or area, Wintory chose to base all of the pieces on one theme which stood for the player and their journey, with cello solos especially representing the player. Wintory describes the music as "like a big cello concerto where you are the soloist and all the rest of the instruments represent the world around you", though he describes it as not necessarily orchestral due to the inclusion of electronic aspects.[28][31] The cello begins the game as "immersed in a sea of electronic sound", before first emerging on its own and then merging into a full orchestra, mirroring the player's journey to the mountain.[32] While the game's art style is based on several different cultures, Wintory tried to remove any overt cultural influences from the music to make it "as universal and culture-less as possible".[28] Tina Guo features as the cellist for the soundtrack. She is a close friend of Wintory and has since performed "Woven Variations" with him, an eight-minute orchestral variation on the Journey soundtrack.[31] All of the non-electronic instruments in the soundtrack were recorded with a live orchestra.[29]
Whether hiking Table Mountain for one of the world's best views, riding horseback on safari, or engaging with local entrepreneurs in Cape Town, students always fall in love with South Africa. Full of adventure and captivating sights, Cape Town offers countless opportunities for cultural and natural exploration. Cape Town is also home to world-renowned social rights activist Archbishop Desmond Tutu, who students just may have the opportunity to meet as he is a member of the Institute for Shipboard Education Board of Trustees… and a big fan of Semester at Sea!
The soundtrack was released as an album on April 10 on iTunes and the PlayStation Network.[33] The album is a collection of the soundtrack's "most important" pieces, arranged by Wintory to stand alone without the context of the player's actions.[28] The album comprises 18 tracks and is over 58 minutes long. It features the voice of Lisbeth Scott for the final track, "I Was Born for This". After its release, the soundtrack reached the top 10 of the iTunes Soundtrack charts in more than 20 countries.[32] It also reached No. 116 on the Billboard sales charts, with over 4000 units sold in its first week after release, the second-highest position of any video game music album to date.[34] The soundtrack was released as a physical album by Sumthing Else Music Works on October 9, 2012.[35] In 2012 Wintory released a download-only album of music on Bandcamp titled Journey Bonus Bundle, which includes variations on themes from Journey and Flow.[36] The soundtrack itself was subsequently released on Bandcamp on June 19, 2013.[37] An album of piano arrangements titled Transfiguration was released on May 1, 2014, on Bandcamp as both a digital and physical album.[38] A two-record vinyl version of the album was released in 2015.[39]
Recognized historian of the Navajo Code Talkers of World War II, Zonnie Gorman is an expert in her field and a dedicated teacher. She has served as a consultant to numerous documentaries, museum exhibitions and authors. Gorman is currently the Project Coordinator for the Circle of Light Navajo Educational Project (CLNEP), a nonprofit organization founded in May 2001 and located in Gallup, New Mexico. CLNEP offers a variety of Navajo role models to youth and fosters cultural pride and self-worth, while educating them along with non-Navajos about the rich history, culture, language and contributions of the Navajo people.
Money has been outlawed, but a substitute means of transacting personal business has been devised. Every individual is given a monthly allowance in the form of a credit card, a kind of punch card, to record his expenditures. This method permits individuals to exercise judgment and taste in the way they like to live. Some will set a better table than others, some acquire a larger house, some will travel extensively, but everyone's allowance is the same.
Ursula Le Guin, The Dispossessed. Published in 1974 when the Cold War had become established as a leading theme of much speculative and science fiction, The Dispossessed is a utopian novel about two worlds: one essentially a 1970s United States replete with capitalism and greed, and the other an anarchist society where the concept of personal property is alien to the people. One of the finest examples of the utopian novel produced in the last fifty years.
Sir Thomas More was a Londoner from birth. He was born in 1478 in the last flowering of the late Middle Ages Roman Catholic world of that distant day. More was a brilliant student who studied at Oxford and at the law courts of Lincoln Inn. More rose high and became Lord Chancellor of England under Henry VIII. All was well with Sir Thomas as he served King and Country as lawyer, judge, diplomat, Steward of Oxford and Cambridge, pious Christian layperson and author. His book "Utopia" has become a deserved classic of satire.
The idea behind the references to the "Golden Age" in the literature of the ancients represents a nostalgic yearning for a kind of life which they imagined was free from the stresses of their more competitive, more commercial civilization. Similarly, the poetic creations of imaginary gardens, the earthly paradises described by Medieval writers, often reflect yearnings growing out of dissatisfaction with things as they are. Another familiar manifestation that took literary form was the pastoral, an idealized representation of simple, happy shepherds. Examples can be found ranging from the eclogues of Theocritus and Virgil to Tasso and Spencer in the Renaissance. In several of Shakespeare's comedies the escape from the city and the court into "the green world" is described in appealing terms. The Duke Senior in As You Like It contrasts his life of exile in the Forest of Arden with the ways of the court in these terms:
The first lesson West learns is that all industry and all institutions are under the control of the national government, a system which, he is informed, has proved to be far more effective than the earlier one of free, private enterprise because of the elimination of wasteful competition. These enormous nationwide political and industrial institutions are structured on the plan of a military organization.
The politics of Utopia have been seen as influential to the ideas of Anabaptism and communism.[citation needed] While utopian socialism was used to describe the first concepts of socialism, later Marxist theorists tended to see the ideas as too simplistic and not grounded on realistic principles.[citation needed] The religious message in the work and its uncertain, possibly satiric, tone has also alienated some theorists from the work.[citation needed]
For students wishing to understand fully the extent of interest in the creation of imaginary commonwealths and fascination over accounts by mariners of remote regions, certain other works of fiction not precisely utopian ought to be examined. Examples are: Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels, Daniel Defoe's Robinson Crusoe, Voltaire's Candide (especially the Eldorado episode), Samuel Johnson's Rasselas, Henry David Thoreau's Walden, Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Blithedale Romance, and Herman Melville's Typee.
Minority Report is a movie about a dystopian society in the year of 2054 in Washington D.C. The story is about a "Pre-Crime" police force unit, which revolves around three psychics, "Pre-Cogs", with special power to see into the future and predict crimes. Police manipulates these visions and arrest criminals before the offenses are even committed. Main protagonist, "Pre-Crime" Chief John Anderton (Tom Cruise) has the tables turned on him when he is accused of murder in the future. He must find a way to prove his innocence, for the thing he has yet to do.

The protective PU tube allows us to run the depower mainline and the 1X landing line through the center of the bar without the risk of abrasion or tangling.
We have lowered the front line connection to the CAS in order to provide a more direct and immediate response from your bar input.
We introduced Depower on Demand in 2005 along with our revolutionary Crossbow kite. Even today, every Cabrinha kite (except the Chaos) incorporates Depower on Demand as the default method to precisely control the power of a kite.
The EVA ends are buoyant enough to float the entire control system with lines attached. The tips have Flex grooves which aid in bending the tips while winding your lines onto the bar or while steering your kite.

Joeri van Leeuwen wins the Willem de Graaff Prize 2016
The board of the Nederlandse Astronomenclub (NAC) awarded the Willem de Graaff award 2016 to astronomer Dr. Joeri van Leeuwen (ASTRON, UvA).
The jury praises van Joeri's enormous merits in the popularization of astronomy. This on various subjects, in various forms and for a diverse audience, from young to old. "In addition, Van Leeuwen shows that his experience with popularization ensures proper feedback to the research community, in the form of good colleges for students and excellent speeches at conferences."
The jury was impressed by the way Joeri uses modern channels of communication in a high-quality fashion, and thereby reaches a wide audience in an enthusiastic manner. Joeri was a co-writer and presenter of TV programs like Het Klokhuis and Heel Nederland Kijkt Sterren. Besides Joeri does not hesitate to bring seemingly complicated questions about black holes or the theory of relativity back to essence with animations and social media."By honouring him, the price is also an encouragement for young people to follow in his footsteps.", said the jury.
Prof dr. Willem de Graaff (1923-2004) was the leader of the Physical Department (1960-1976) of the Utrecht Laboratory for Space Research of the Committee for Geophysics and Space Research (GROC) of the KNAW. Besides his work as a physicist and especially after his retirement, he has worked for decades to interest a wide audience for space and astronomy. For many years he was chairman of the board of the foundation 'De Koepel'.
As an expression of appreciation and gratitude, the board of the foundation 'De Koepel' established the Willem de Graaff Prize in 2007. The price is primarily meant for someone who is professionally engaged in astronomy and / or space research and also contributes to the popularization of these scientific fields.
The prize is both a reward as an encouragement to activities that were important to Willem de Graaff. The prize of € 1500 is awarded every three years. In 2007, the prize was awarded for the first time toProf. Dr. John Heise from Utrecht. In 2010 the prize was awarded to Prof. Dr. Vincent Icke from Leiden and in 2013 to Prof. Dr. Peter Barthel.
The winner of the Willem de Graaff Price receives an amount of € 1500. The award will be presented today at the 71st Dutch Astronomers Conference in Nunspeet.

Q: Rails 3.1 coffeescript I have this weird failing coffeescript, from this demo. The demo code works fine on my local machine. And I've blatantly copied it, wholesale, into my own rails 3.1 app. There are no useful error messages but the buttons are acting as if they're buttons which don't know they have a script attached to them - they're refreshing the page.
app/assets/application.js contains the compiled coffee script.
The compiled html is identical between the two apps.
Other javascripts are working.
I've deleted all css and javascript except this one, and it's not working.
The coffeescript is fine as it's working on the demo app on my machine.
Am I missing something blindingly obvious about how you use coffee script in the asset pipeline?
Code:
application.rb:
   # Enable the asset pipeline
    config.assets.enabled = true

Search.js.coffee:
class @Search
  constructor: (@templates = {}) ->

  remove_fields: (button) ->
    $(button).closest('.fields').remove()

  add_fields: (button, type, content) ->
    new_id = new Date().getTime()
    regexp = new RegExp('new_' + type, 'g')
    $(button).before(content.replace(regexp, new_id))

  nest_fields: (button, type) ->
    new_id = new Date().getTime()
    id_regexp = new RegExp('new_' + type, 'g')
    template = @templates[type]
    object_name = $(button).closest('.fields').attr('data-object-name')
    sanitized_object_name = object_name.replace(/\]\[|[^-a-zA-Z0-9:.]/g, '_').replace(/_$/, '')
    template = template.replace(/new_object_name\[/g, object_name + "[")
    template = template.replace(/new_object_name_/, sanitized_object_name + '_')
    $(button).before(template.replace(id_regexp, new_id))

Application helper:
 def setup_search_form(builder)
      fields = builder.grouping_fields builder.object.new_grouping, object_name: 'new_object_name', child_index: "new_grouping" do |f|
        render('grouping_fields', f: f)
      end
      content_for :document_ready, %Q{
        var search = new Search({grouping: "#{escape_javascript(fields)}"});
        $('button.add_fields').live('click', function() {
          search.add_fields(this, $(this).data('fieldType'), $(this).data('content'));
          return false;
        });
        $('button.remove_fields').live('click', function() {
          search.remove_fields(this);
          return false;
        });
        $('button.nest_fields').live('click', function() {
          search.nest_fields(this, $(this).data('fieldType'));
          return false;
        });
      }.html_safe

        render(type.to_s + "_fields", f: builder)
      end
      content_tag :button, name, :class => 'add_fields', 'data-field-type' => type, 'data-content' => "#{fields}"
    end

    def button_to_nest_fields(name, type)
      content_tag :button, name, :class => 'nest_fields', 'data-field-type' => type

Update / solution.
Firebug pointed out that there's a conflict with some other js, in the Cocoon gem. Here's its code:
 $('.add_fields').live('click', function() {
    var assoc   = $(this).attr('data-association');
    var assocs  = $(this).attr('data-associations');
    var content = $(this).attr('data-template');
    var insertionPosition = $(this).attr('data-association-insertion-position');
    var insertionNode = $(this).attr('data-association-insertion-node');
    var insertionCallback = $(this).data('insertion-callback');
    var regexp_braced = new RegExp('\\[new_' + assoc + '\\]', 'g');
    var regexp_underscord = new RegExp('_new_' + assoc + '_', 'g');
    var new_id  = new Date().getTime();
    var newcontent_braced = '[' + new_id + ']';
    var newcontent_underscord = '_' + new_id + '_';
    var new_content = content.replace(regexp_braced, '[' + new_id + ']');
    if (new_content == content) {
        regexp_braced = new RegExp('\\[new_' + assocs + '\\]', 'g');
        regexp_underscord = new RegExp('_new_' + assocs + '_', 'g');
        new_content = content.replace(regexp_braced, '[' + new_id + ']');
    }
    new_content = new_content.replace(regexp_underscord, newcontent_underscord);

    if (insertionNode) {
      insertionNode = $(insertionNode);
    }
    else {
      insertionNode = $(this).parent();
    }

    var contentNode = $(new_content);

    if (insertionPosition == 'after'){
      insertionNode.after(contentNode);
    } else {
      insertionNode.before(contentNode);
    }

    if(insertionCallback){
      insertionCallback.call(contentNode);
    }

    return false;
  });

The conflicting line is
var new_content = content.replace(regexp_braced, '[' + new_id + ']');

Renaming add_fields to add_s_fields in application_helper and the coffeescript sorted it out.

A: The class @Search is suspicious to me. What happens if you get rid of the @?

A: You inject some JS code with
content_for :document_ready %Q{ ... }

but I don't see the requisite
<%= content_for :document_ready %>

in your ERB markup. Can you verify that the JS code is on the page? If so, where is it—are you sure it's being run after class @Search is defined?
