Cage the Elephant singer charged with criminal possession of a weapon
Police discovered guns in the rocker's hotel space.
Cage the Elephant's diva Matt Shultz was jailed in New York City on Thursday, EW has actually validated.
The 39- year-old rocker, who was remaining at the Bowery hotel in Manhattan, was charged with criminal ownership of a weapon after cops carried out a search warrant and found guns in his space, the New York Police Department stated.
The arrest followed officers apparently got a 911 call about an individual bring a weapon inside the hotel at 10 a.m. Thursday, per Billboard
Earlier reports specified that a Bowery hotel worker identified Shultz bring a weapon with him into a restroom on the ground flooring Wednesday night, triggering them to alert the authorities, the Daily Mail reported. The NYPD informed EW that they were not able to verify those realities.

TikTok gets saved just in the nick of time.
Aug. 3, 2020 | Categories: Business Technology
By May Parkinson, Reporter
In a blog post-Sunday, Microsoft said it was "prepared to continue discussions to explore a purchase of TikTok in the United States," following a conversation between its CEO Satya Nadella and President Trump. It's the first time the company has confirmed reports it was in talks to acquire the video-sharing platform.
"Microsoft fully appreciates the importance of addressing the President's concerns. It is committed to acquiring TikTok subject to a complete security review and providing proper economic benefits to the United States, including the United States Treasury," the blog post reads. It adds that the company expects to move "quickly to pursue discussions with TikTok's parent company, ByteDance, in a matter of weeks, and in any event completing these discussions no later than September 15, 2020."
The blog post also says that "the two companies have provided notice of their intent to explore a preliminary proposal that would involve a purchase of the TikTok service in the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand and would result in Microsoft owning and operating TikTok in these markets."
It's unclear how Microsoft would sever those countries from other areas where TikTok operates, like Europe and Africa. Microsoft also did not commit to undertaking the purchase entirely on its own, saying that the company "may invite other American investors to participate on a minority basis in this purchase."
President Trump had threatened to ban TikTok in the US on Friday. Trump indicated to reporters that he was ready to sign a document to order the TikTok ban as early as Saturday, either via executive order or emergency economic powers.
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo mentioned the possibility of a ban as early as July 7th, saying it was "something we're looking at." TikTok is a subsidiary of Beijing-based ByteDance, and critics have called out its privacy practices and potential ties to the Chinese government. Pompeo also compared TikTok to Huawei and ZTE, two Chinese companies that have been designated as threats to US national security.
The blog post describes the discussions as "preliminary," but addresses the privacy concerns, saying the company would "ensure that all private data of TikTok's American users are transferred to and remains in the United States.
"To the extent that any such data is currently stored or backed-up outside the United States," the post continues, "Microsoft would ensure that this data is deleted from servers outside the country after it is transferred."

Q: Wrapping up an async method for a non-async caller I'm trying to use System.Net.Http.HttpClient to return the results of a call to a webpage, so that it implements a POST request. I don't really want to perform this asynchronously. My requirement is to wait until all the data is returned before continuing, so ideally I want synchronous method. However, sadly, it is not possible to just use HttpClient that way.
I've declared the following method, which is asynchronous, which takes a URL and key-value pairs to populate $_POST in the PHP:
private async Task<string> PostRequest(string cUrl, params string[] aParams)
{
    HttpClient oClient;
    Dictionary<string, string> oArgs;
    int iA;
    FormUrlEncodedContent oContent;
    HttpResponseMessage oResponse;

    // check we have an event number of parameters
    if ((aParams.GetUpperBound(0) % 2) != 1) throw new Exception(
        "Non-even number of parameters passed. Parameters are key-value pairs.");

    // put the parameters into a dictionary
    oArgs = new Dictionary<string, string>();
    for (iA = 0; iA < aParams.GetUpperBound(0); iA += 2)
        oArgs.Add(aParams[iA], aParams[iA + 1]);

    oClient = new HttpClient();
    oContent = new FormUrlEncodedContent(oArgs);
    oClient.Timeout = new TimeSpan(0, 0, 10);
    oResponse = await oClient.PostAsync(cUrl, oContent);
    return await oResponse.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
}

Now, annoyingly this has to be an asynchonous method. Ho hum. Ideally, I'd like to call it thus:
private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    var cResult = await PostRequest("http://mywebsite.com/mypage.php",
        "MagicToken", "12345",
        "Method", "GetSomeData");
    txt.Text = cResult.ToString();
}

But I have the compile time error:

The 'await' operator can only be used within an async method. Consider marking this method with the 'async' modifier and changing its return type to 'Task'.

What I'm doing above is (obviously) a test. In reality the button that kicks this off is a "Next >" in a wizard. It will use the results to populate a structure with data that other code in the wizard then accesses. I don't the above to occur asynchronously as I don't want other code touching that structure until it is populated.
My question is, how can I wrap a call to PostRequest so that I can wait for all the results to come in (some sort of ...while still processing...wait... loop) and then just return the results of the call, and use that without having to bubble async declarations up through my code?
As a second question, if I have to declare my cmdNext_Click as async, what happens if the user clicks it twice? I specifically want the UI thread to stop until the data is returned and processed.

Edit:
I've tried creating a wrapper function (which is non-async) thus:
        private bool PostRequest2(string cUrl, ref string cResponse, params string[] aParams)
        {
            // This posts a request to the URL, using the parameters passed in aArgs. The response is returned in cResponse.
            // cUrl - the URL to POST to
            // cResponse - the response returned
            // aParams - an even number of parameters, which are key-value pairs. The first of each pair is the name of the item. The second is its value.
            int iWaitCount;

            try
            {
                var response = PostRequest(cUrl, aParams);
                Console.WriteLine(response);

                iWaitCount = 0;
                while (!response.IsCompleted)
                {
                    Console.WriteLine("iWaitCount = " + iWaitCount.ToString());
                    Console.WriteLine("Status = " + response.Status.ToString());
                    response.Wait(500);
                    iWaitCount++;
                }
                cResponse = response.Result;
                return true;
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                _g.Errs.Raise(ex);
                return false;
            }
        }

This compiles correctly, but sits in the wait loop indefinitely with response.Status = WaitingForActivation.
There has to be a way to wrap an asynchronouns function in a synchrnous one. The alternative is to have to change all the return types (which are mostly bool - true on success) to Task, which I cannot then use in conditional statements - I have to await them instead. I've realised that this is the fundimental question, and this is a duplicate of: How to call asynchronous method from synchronous method in C#? which refers to await being a zombie virus that infects your code; this appears to be the case.

A: You can make your button void async (I would maybe return Task instead of void though)
await should mean that your method waits for the PostAsync call to complete.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/operators/await

The await operator suspends evaluation of the enclosing async method until the asynchronous operation represented by its operand completes.

So this is essentially a synchronous call.
Now if you really don't want that void to be async, here's what I can remember off the top of my head:
In .NET 5+, you can use HttpClient.Send which is synchronous. (takes HttpRequestMessage)
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.net.http.httpclient.send?view=net-5.0
Otherwise, you would need to do a .Result if you wanted to get the response. This type of consumption of async methods has been frowned upon in my experience.

A: Disable button2 until the operation is completed and use async inside the button2 click event.
change button2_Click to :
private async void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    button2.Enabled = false;
    var cResult = await PostRequest("http://mywebsite.com/mypage.php",
      "MagicToken", "12345",
      "Method", "GetSomeData");
    txt.Text = cResult.ToString();
    button2.Enabled = true;
}

A: After much reading, and thank you to those above, I've got a working method now. It's nor perfect, but it works in this scenario where I'm calling one async method at a time, and wait processing to stop until it returns.
PostRequest above works correctly, but it must be declared async and called with await. Within my app, I have a variety of callers of it, which must also be declared async and use await when they call it. An example is:
private async Task<bool> ReadProductPrice()
{
    string cCsv = "";

    try
    {
        cProductCode = scSubscriptionType.GetSelectedKey().ToString();
        var oResponse = await PostRequest("http://mywebsite.com/mywebpage.php",
            "MagicToken", "12345",
            "Query", "GetProductPrice",
            "ProductCode", cProductCode);
        if (oResponse == null) throw new Exception("Could not acquire product price from server. (1)");
        cCsv = oResponse.ToString();

        moProductPrice = new Dataset(_g);
        if (!moProductPrice.ReadFromCsv(cCsv)) throw new Exception("Could not decode server response.");
        if (moProductPrice.RecordCount != 1) throw new Exception("Could not acquire product price from server. (2)");

        return true;
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        _g.Errs.Raise(ex);
        return false;
    }
}

This works correctly and populates moProductPrice with the data returned from PostRequest. However, it is async.
I've create a wrapper function thus:
private bool ReadProductPrice2()
{
    Task<bool> oTask;
    frmWaitForTaskCompletion frm;

    try
    {
        oTask = ReadProductPrice();

        frm = new frmWaitForTaskCompletion();
        frm.WaitForTaskCompletion(oTask, "Waiting for product price from server...");
        return true;
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        _g.Errs.Raise(ex);
        return false;
    }
}

This passes the Task<bool> returned from ReadProductPrice through to a form. The form contains a Label and a Timer, named lblMessage and tmr, containing the following code:
    public partial class frmWaitForTaskCompletion : Form
    {
        private Task _task;

        public frmWaitForTaskCompletion()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        public void WaitForTaskCompletion<TResult>(Task<TResult> oTask, string cMessage)
        {
            _task = oTask;
            lblMessage.Text = cMessage;
            this.ShowDialog();
            return;
        }

        private void frmWaitForTaskCompletion_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            tmr.Enabled = true;
        }

        private void tmr_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            if (_task.Status == TaskStatus.RanToCompletion)
                this.Close();
        }
    }

The timer is set to an Interval of 1000 so that it shows for enough time for the user to recognise that a popup has occurred and to scan the message.
Ideally, I would like to replace the call to the wait form with this:
while (oTask.Status != TaskStatus.RanToCompletion) Thread.Sleep(100);

And I don't actually understand why this doesn't now work, but recognise that it doesn't; code never continues after this point, despite the fact that the wait form is effectively performing the same check.
In this way, I'm able to stop the await/async propogating up my call stack indefinitely; IMO should be the compiler's job to sort that out, not mine, and it signifcantly breaks the concept of encapsulation. I dislike the fact that I need to show a wait form for a short while, but in this context the user should be aware of the communication that is going on, so it's an ok solution.

A: You can try doing something like this
private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
  PostRequest(
    "http://mywebsite.com/mypage.php",
    "MagicToken",
    "12345",
    "Method",
    "GetSomeData"
  )
    .ContinueWith(async request => {
      var cResult = await request;
      txt.Text = cResult.ToString();
    })
    .Wait();
}

Deprecated methods have to be unit tested the same way as other methods.
Probably this is not a question when there is already a unit test for the method. In that case you just leave it there and keep it running each time the CI server fires. The question may come up in your mind when you inherit some legacy code and you, yourself deprecate some methods or just find it deprecated with no appropriate unit test. Why bother to invest time writing unit tests when the method will no longer be in use?
The answer to this why lays where the difference is between a deprecated and a deleted method. The deprecated method is still in use. It may happen that no one uses the method but that is not guaranteed. If it were you could just delete the method. Deprecated method is still in the published API with a slight comment: you better do not use it. Clear?
What if there is no time to write the unit tests?
If there is no time (treat this precondition as a hypothetic and not questionable: that is another topic for what to have time) then there is no question.
Unit test are not writing themselves during the night, while you sleep.
What if you have some time but kind of short. In that case, if nothing else prevails, you can linger the tests for the deprecated methods to the end of the task list. If nothing else prevails. Being deprecated does not necessarily mean: not important. Many may still use it. It means: deprecated.

Q: accessing the logged in CRM user from custom page We have Dynamics CRM and a webform which is loaded from the ribbon, essentially inside an iframe.
How do we get the logged on user? On the top right, is my name and image as logged in via Active Directory. However, if I do something like:
var UserID = window.parent.Xrm.Page.context.getUserId();

or in C#:
UserPrincipal user = UserPrincipal.Current;
lblUser.Text = user.SamAccountName;

then we get the generic user that CRM is configured to use.
If I do a right click on the entire form and go "View Source",  I can see this:
var USER_NAME = 'Rodney Ellis';

In Chrome's developer tools I can run this from the Console, and my name appears:
alert(USER_NAME);

But when I try to access it from javascript in the code it says it can't be found:
Uncaught ReferenceError: USER_NAME is not defined
How can I get the Username from inside the aspx webform, either by c# or js? Cross-side scripting being blocked has stopped a lot of the easy ways, hence why we're looking for a work-around.

A: The below code should give you what you want. Read more
Xrm.Page.context.getUserName();

But based on popup or inline embedded iframe, you have append in front.
window.parent.Xrm.Page.context.getUserName();
window.opener.Xrm.Page.context.getUserName();

A: In one of the all time great hacks ... we got around the problem by embedding another iFrame into a web resource!
So the web resource can call Xrm.Page.context.getUserName() and then concatenate that to the querystring which we then pass into an iFrame. because CRM thinks the iframe is just one control, it allows all the webform commands taking place inside of it and doesn't give any 500 errors.

A Patrick Curran inspired Waterford won what's likely to be their final match at Walsh Park for at least two years as they saw off Clare in an entertaining Allianz Hurling League Division 1A encounter in front of a 2,656-strong crowd.
Curran's 1-13 haul proved the major difference between the sides but wasn't enough to avoid a relegation playoff with Cork, while Clare's place in the quarter-finals was already assured prior to throw-in.
At the break, Waterford led by 1-13 to 1-10, having initially risen slowly from the blocks. Peter Duggan got the visitors off the mark with a free after 72 seconds, with Déise wing back Kieran Bennett levelling matters after three minutes.
Duggan converted Clare's second free in the fourth minute, while Patrick Curran opened his account with a sixth-minute free from 35 metres. Banner wing forward David Reidy finished off a sweeping move involving David McInerney, David Fitzgerald and Conor McGrath after nine minutes, with Cathal Malone extending Clare's lead following a fine surge and strike barely 60 seconds later. Ian Galvin capitalised on a rare error by Tadhg de Burca to send the white flag upward in the 11th minute but a further free from Curran left Waterford just two points in arrears after 12.
Waterford goalkeeper Ian O'Regan comfortably handed Peter Duggan's 13th-minute goal attempt, and from the resulting attack, Conor Gleeson thundered down the inside right channel to bisect the County End uprights.
Tony Kelly mustered an immediate reply for Clare with a fine point, with Shane O'Donnell's subsequent effort leaving three points between the sides by the quarter-hour mark.
Stephen Bennett opened his account for Waterford after DJ Foran had lost his footing in the 16th minute, but the Clare support collectively rose to celebrate Conor McGrath's goal from point-blank range following Ian Galvin's composed assist to go five points clear.
And when Seanda Morey bombed forward from the half-back line to rifle over a superb 18th-minute point, matters were bubbling nicely from a Banner perspective.
But Waterford regrouped with vigour between then and the interval, with Patrick Curran marshalling the hosts' recovery. The Dungarvan clubman turned over frees in the 22nd, 24th and 27th minutes, with Mikey Kearney, captain Kevin Moran and Curran, this time from play, restoring parity by the 29th minute.
Two minutes later, Curran sent Waterford ahead before David Reidy ended a quarter-hour wait for Clare's next score.
But Curran immediately replied for the Deise, scooping the sliothar beyond Donal Tuohy after Stephen Bennett's initial effort had been blocked. Clare's Ian Galvin completed the first-half scoring in additional time.
The second half proved a largely end to end affair on a surface which has recovered remarkably well in the wake of Storm Emma.
Clare got back on level terms in both the 44th and 52nd minutes with John Conlon and Tony Kelly both impressing but Waterford, primarily through Curran and ably assisted by Kearney, edged back ahead in the closing quarter.
A second yellow card for Conor Gleeson in the closing moments didn't deter a Waterford side whose attacking compliment was boosted by the introductions of both Tom Devine and Tommy Ryan. Heading into the quarter-final, Clare ought to draw solace from ending the afternoon with nine different scorers.
WATERFORD: I O'Regan; S Fives, B Coughlan, I Kenny; T de Búrca, A Gleeson (0-1), K Bennett (0-1); M O'Brien, C Gleeson (0-1); K Moran (0-1), S Bennett (0-2), DJ Foran; M Walsh, M Kearney (0-4), P Curran (1-13; six frees).
Subs: T Devine for M Walsh and T Ryan for DJ Foran (both 50 mins), C Prunty for M O'Brien (54), M Shanahan for K Moran (61), Philip Mahony for S Bennett (70).
CLARE: D Tuohy; P O'Connor, C Cleary, J Browne; S Morey (0-1), D McInerney, D Fitzgerald; C Malone (0-1), T Kelly (0-4); I Galvin (0-2), J Conlon (0-2), D Reidy (0-3); S O'Donnell (0-1), P Duggan (0-5, four frees), C McGrath (1-1).
Subs: M O'Malley for S Morey (52 mins), J Shanahan for P O'Connor (60), C McInerney for C Malone (67), R Taylor for I Galvin (68), P Flanagan for J Browne (69).

Covid-19 Pandemic Can Spark New Generation of Social Protection Measures: UN
English covid-19 pandemic
Wahyu Dwi Anggoro • 02 December 2020 10:58
Jakarta: While covid-19 has wiped out important development gains in mere months, with extreme poverty rising for the first time in decades, the pandemic could spark the transformations needed to achieve stronger social protection systems, the United Nations (UN) Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said on Tuesday.
He was speaking at an event to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the World Summit for Social Development, where he called for bold and imaginative action by leaders to avert the long-term impacts of the crisis.
"The pandemic brings new awareness of the social and economic risks that arise from inadequate social protection systems, unequal access to healthcare and other public services and high levels of inequality, including gender, race inequality, and all the other forms we witness in the world," he said in a media release on Tuesday.
"It can therefore open the door to the transformational changes needed to build a New Social Contract at the national level, that is fit for the challenges of the 21st century," he added.
The Secretary-General outlined the components of this New Social Contract, which include a strong emphasis on quality education for all, measures related to fair labour markets and fair taxation, Universal Health Coverage, and a new generation of social protection measures.
He said countries with strong social protection systems before the pandemic were better positioned to rapidly offer their citizens access to much-needed healthcare.
"We must make every effort to extend social protection systems to the two billion informal economy workers, many of whom are women," he continued.
"They are particularly vulnerable to the socioeconomic impact of covid-19," he stated.

Jingling Treasure
Take the word jingle It's two syllables in length, with the g splitting into two sounds across them. The first syllable rhymes with "sing" and the second, depending on your accent, is something approximatied by "gull". It's the first syllable I'm mainly interested in, though, jing.
Now take the word treasure. Unless you have a particularly fussy way of speaking, the s in the middle there is pronounced like the French word "je". This sound is usually rendered in English as zh, because it bears a similar relationship to z as sh does to s.
In English, j and zh are quite different sounds. Think of a word with j in it and it's almost always going to be pronounced the same way: like it is in jingle. Jacket, jaunt, adjust, join, reject, Jupiter, jelly, injure, projection, jaw — that's the way a j is sounded.
J isn't the only letter that can give a j sound, of course: so can g. The g in rage is pronounced like the j in Raj. However, if you were going to transcribe that sound using the English alphabet, you'd go for j rather than g; this is because g also makes the sound it does in gull (as well as turning in into ing).
This is why the Chinese word Romanisation system, pinyin, converts the Mandarin j sound into the letter j: that's the sound it makes. Unlike the case with g, this is pretty well the only sound a j makes. If you see jingle, you know it's not zhingle. If you see jing, you know it's not zhing.
So why is it, then, that most commentators at the Olympics seem to want to pronounce Beijing as "Bay zhing"? It's "Bay jing"! This is Mandarin, not French!
The BBC Pronunciation Unit is generally excellent, but why have it when apparently no-one pays attention to its very clear instructions?
I wonder if it's just the UK that has this problem? At least thedatabase of the Voice of America pronunciation unit is online — and also gets it right.


Rik'kal the Dissector is a level 90 mantid located at Klaxxi'vess. His name comes from his talent of using his knowledge of physiology to better kill his enemies. Rik'kal's character seems to be based on the "mad scientist" archetype.
Rik'kal the Dissector is a Klaxxi paragon found in the Dread Wastes.
Some time later after he was awakened by the [Wakener], he joined Garrosh, who obtained the heart of Y'Shaarj, in the Underhold.
Rik'kal the Dissector says: That is quite an impressive beast you have there, Manipulator. Very intriguing.
Kaz'tik the Manipulator says: No.
Rik'kal the Dissector says: All those years in stasis followed by sudden, rapid growth.
Kaz'tik the Manipulator says: Do not even ask.
Kaz'tik the Manipulator says: And I am just saying, Dissector, that you do not appear to possess any resistance to sonic manipulation.
Kaz'tik the Manipulator says: How would you like to suddenly become "intrigued" by your own thorax? I bet your skilled hands could perform a self-vivisection in mere seconds if they were properly compelled.
Rik'kal the Dissector says: Point taken.
I have coated your weapons with my special mixture, Wakener. You will infect every corpse with a mutagen that... well... you must see the results for yourself.
Rik'kal possessed the [Dissector's Staff of Mutation], a lost treasure found in the Dread Wastes.
Rik'kal is voiced by Steve Blum in Patch 5.4.

The 150th and final seat in the Texas House of Representatives, left vacant by the death of Glenda Dawson, will be decided by a special election, and probably a runoff as well. The field includes three Republicans and a Democrat. I have posted previously on this race (See "The Last Race," November 29); here is an update.
The district consists of Matagorda County and part of Brazoria County. In the general election, almost 28,000 of the 35,000 or so votes cast came from Brazoria, with Dawson, whose name appeared on the ballot as the Republican nominee, winning the county over Democrat Anthony DiNovo by 17,000+ to 10,000+. Matagorda County was nip and tuck, with Dawson winning there as well.
The leading Republican candidate is Mike O'Day, who is supported (according to GOP sources) by another Brazoria County state representative, Dennis Bonnen, by Dawson's daughter, and by several county officials. Randy Weber is trying to position himself as the most conservative candidate in the race and has the support of Cathie Adams, the longtime head of the Eagle Forum. Also in his camp, for what it's worth, is congresswoman (for the moment) Shelley Sekula-Gibbs, who is finishing out Tom DeLay's term. The third Republican is John Gorman, who entered the race late. Democrat DiNovo is running again.
This will be a light turnout race with the election occurring six days before Christmas. There are three scenarios for what might happen:
1. O'Day leads, DiNovo (who polled 37% against Dawson) finishes second, and O'Day wins in a runoff.
2. Republicans turn out in sufficient numbers to put O'Day and Weber in a runoff, freezing DiNovo out.
3. DiNovo gets into a runoff against one of the Republicans, and the supporters of the unsuccessful Republicans stay home, allowing DiNovo to pull off an upset.
If a Republican holds the seat, their margin in the House will be 81-69. If DiNovo manages to win, the Republican majority will be cut to 80-70.
I think (3) is pretty unlikely, but runoffs are dicey, low-turnout affairs. This is clearly a Republican seat, but a bunch of Democrats will be showing up in Austin on January 9 after winning "Republican" seats.

A logical operator is a symbol or word used to connect two or more expressions such that the value of the compound expression produced depends only on that of the original expressions and on the meaning of the operator. Common logical operators include AND, OR, and NOT.
Within most languages, expressions that yield Boolean data type values are divided into two groups. One group uses the relational operators within their expressions and the other group uses logical operators within their expressions.
The vertical dashes or piping symbol is found on the same key as the backslash \. You use the SHIFT key to get it. It is just above the Enter key on most keyboards. It may be a solid vertical line on some keyboards and show as a solid vertical line on some print fonts.
The final evaluation of the expression is: true.
We can say this in English as: It is true that six is greater than four and that two is less than or equal to fourteen.
A common way to show logical relationships is in truth tables.
A mother tells her son, he must clean his room AND do his homework to go outside. If the son only does one of the tasks his mother asks of him, he will not be allowed outside because he has failed to complete the other task.
Remember from this lesson that when using an 'AND' statement the same logic applys, the program will not run, the statement associated with the true condition, unless all conditions in an 'AND' statement are true.
Karen is told she can get an 'A'  if she writes an essay OR successfully hacks into the class gradebook.  By saying OR the teacher has given Karen two possible ways to get an 'A'. Each way is entirely independent from the other so she does not have to do both tasks to get an 'A' only one.
Remember from this lesson that when using an 'OR' statement only one of the conditions listed in the statement has to be true in order to get the statement associated with the true condition to run.
Mark is told he can only go to the club if he's NOT Steve. This is due to Steve being banned from the club for rowdy behavior. While Mark and Steve look a like, they are not the same person. Mark proves this by showing the bouncer his 'I.D.'. Since Mark is NOT Steve the bouncer lets him in and for the rest of the night he has a great time.
Remember from this lesson that when using a 'NOT' statement the program wil consider any value that is equal to the value of the listed statement as false. Only conditions that do 'NOT' equal, the statements value will run as true.
Makes sense right? Hopefully you can apply this to the following expression examples listed below.
An operator used to create complex Boolean expressions.
A common way to show logical relationships.

Officials say government in eastern Libya resigns
Rival Libya factions agree criteria for key posts: Statement
Egyptian, Morrocan FMs discuss developments in Libya peace talks
Egypt's foreign minister Sameh Shoukry stressed to his Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov in a phone call on Monday the necessity of moving to "active negotiations" to reach the desired political settlement in Libya.
Shoukry called for stability on the ground in the oil-rich country, reaching a comprehensive and official ceasefire agreement, as well as dismantling militias and taking foreign troops out of Libya, a statement by the ministry spokesperson Ahmed Hafez said.
Egypt announced an initiative, dubbed the Cairo Declaration, earlier this summer which mandates a Libyan-Libyan resolution as a basis for resolving the country's conflict.
The oil-rich country has been split since 2014 between two rival administrations in the east and west with parallel institutions; the eastern government is represented by the Tobruk-based House of Representatives allied with the Libyan National Army (LNA), led by Commander Khalifa Haftar, while the west is represented by the Tripoli-based Government of National Accord (GNA).
Egypt, France, Russia, and the United Arab Emirates back the LNA while the GNA is backed by Qatar, Turkish troops, and thousands of Syrian mercenaries.
Turkey began earlier this year sending thousands of Syrian jihadists and mercenaries into Libya to back the GNA.
Libyan rivals had engaged in closed-door talks in the Moroccan city of Bouznika from 6 to 8 September, which yielded a joint statement pointing to "important compromises," according to AFP.
They also agreed to pause the talks and resume discussions during the last week of September.
The Egyptian and Russian ministers also discussed the latest developments in Syria and pushed for reaching a comprehensive settlement drawing on the related United Nations references in a way that preserves the unity, independence and sovereignty of Syrian territories and institutions as well as the safety of the Syrian people.
The call covered the updates on the Palestinian cause. Shoukry and Lavrov affirmed the significance of enhancing security, stability, and peace in the region, in addition to preserving the legitimate Palestinian rights and the principle of the two-state solution, Hafez added.
Egypt supports a two-state solution with East Jerusalem as the capital of the Palestinian state based on the 1967 borders, according to UN Security Council resolutions.
The ministers underscored the importance of proceeding political consultations between Cairo and Moscow.

Echoes of austerity
Policy, temporality, and public health in South Africa
Theodore Powers
South Africa's post-apartheid era has been marked by the continuation of racialized socioeconomic inequality, a social situation produced by earlier periods of settlement, colonization, and apartheid. While the ruling African National Congress has pursued a transformative political agenda, it has done so within the confines of neoliberal macroeconomic policy, including a period of fiscal austerity, which has had limited impact on poverty and inequality. Here, I explore how policy principles associated with austerity travel across time, space, and the levels of the state in South Africa, eventually manifesting in a public health policy that produced cuts to public health services. In assessing these sociopolitical dynamics, I utilize policy process as a chronotope to unify diverse experiences of temporality relative to austerity-inspired public health policy.

Austerity en route, from Lisbon to Luanda
Ruy Llera Blanes
In this article, through a set of ethnographic vignettes from fieldwork conducted in Angola since 2015, I discuss the political semantics of crisis and austerity, and simultaneously outline an itinerary of a "traveling austerity" between Portugal and Angola, exposing the interconnectedness and mutual binding of both political and economic contexts. Invoking stories of migrant workers in Luanda and the work of local "financial activists" protesting against financial inequality in Angola, I question the relevance of national-based approaches to austerity politics, explore conceptualizations of austerity beyond its "original," mainstream Eurocentric setting, and argue towards the necessity of analyzing transnational intersections in the study of austerity.
The desire for disinheritance in austerity Greece
Daniel M. Knight
Associated with notions of family continuity, lineage, national belonging, and cultural roots, in Greece property inheritance was once highly desired. Yet, in recent years, there has been a rising trend of people wanting to be disinherited because of the economic burden of new taxes introduced as part of the international austerity program and the need to focus all resources on the short-term future of the immediate family. The desire for disinheritance amounts to a longing for disconnectedness, for exiting not only political structures but also kinship structures that have been historically closely linked with a Greek sense of self as particular political subjects. A focus on inheritance demonstrates how the political can be located in the mundane and the everyday.
The anthropology of austerity
Theodore Powers and Theodoros Rakopoulos
This introduction posits that austerity is an instantiation of structural adjustment programs (SAPs) and thus must be revisited in two ways, involving its historical and geographical rendering. First, anthropological accounts should think of austerity in the long term, providing encompassing genealogies of the concept rather than seeing it as breach to historical continuity. Second, the discipline should employ the comparative approach to bring together analyses of SAPs in the Global South and austerity measures in the Global North, providing a more comprehensive analysis of this phenomenon. We are interested in what austerity does to people's temporal consciousness, and what such people do toward a policy process that impacts their lives. We find, in this comparative pursuit, instead of Foucauldian internalization, dissent and dissatisfaction.
Austerity in Africa
Audit cultures and the weakening of public sector health systems
James Pfeiffer
Austerity across Africa has been operationalized through World Bank and IMF structural adjustment programs since the 1980s, later rebranded euphemistically as poverty reduction strategies in the late 1990s. Austerity's constraints on public spending led donors to a "civil society" focus in which NGOs would fill gaps in basic social services created by public sector contraction. One consequence was large-scale redirection of growing foreign aid flows away from public services to international NGOs. Austerity in Africa coincides with the emergence of what some anthropologists call "audit cultures" among donors. Extraordinary data collection infrastructures are demanded from recipient organizations in the name of transparency. However, the Mozambique experience described here reveals that these intensive audit cultures serve to obscure the destructive effects of NGO proliferation on public health systems.
Social Movements and Social Policies
Political Challenges under Austerity in the UK
Gregory White
The economic crisis of 2007/2008 presented a challenge to the welfare state in the UK, and, more widely, across Europe. It also presented a challenge to many citizens, who were on the receiving end of the austerity agenda, and subsequent tightening of welfare spending. If nothing else, the financial crisis demonstrated the hegemony of economic theories prominent in neoliberal capitalism. As many academics and commentators have identified, however, the current period of instability is indicative of a systemic crisis. In addition to this analysis, the crisis also exposed the intricate and opaque links between western governments and the financial sector. During and after the crisis an eruption of activity in civil society galvanized many that had been directly affected by either the crisis itself—through loss of employment—or by the subsequent austerity measures imposed. This article aims to examine the current crisis affecting the welfare state in the UK, and social policy more broadly, and, begins to suggest how social movements are seeking to challenge the dominant discourses surrounding austerity politics. The article suggests some reasons as to why traditional forms of resistance and organization—such as the mobilizations of the trade union movement—have largely been unsuccessful in challenging such narratives. The article concludes by considering the shift from trade unionism in the UK to post-crisis social movements, and where an anti-austerity movement more broadly might develop further in pursuit of defending the principles of social welfare, and, ultimately, the welfare state.
Reversing the world—What austerity does to time and place
Theodoros Rakopoulos
Instead of taking for granted that austerity is unidirectionally associated with Europe, the anthropology of austerity should be paying attention to the situatedness of its effects. The levering potential that a comparative analysis of austerity allows is precious, for it opens new critical perspectives on our understanding of temporal and geographical consciousness. An antipode of perspective invites a more historical analysis of a phenomenon that unsettles the conceived understandings of Europe's position.
It Was Not Meant to Be This Way
An Unfortunate Case of Anglo-Saxon Parochialism?
Tom Frost
In June 2016, the United Kingdom's electorate voted in a referendum to leave the European Union. This article examines 'Brexit' from the perspective of British, or English, exceptionalism. It argues that the Leave vote was caused by a number of factors: underlying myths and exceptionalism about the U.K. and its relationship with 'Europe'; the fallout from the 2007–2008 financial crisis; the austerity policies undertaken in the U.K. since 2010; and the increased migration into the U.K. after the financial crisis, in particular from other EU Member States. The article concludes by arguing that Brexit should serve as an important lesson to listen to all people who feel abandoned by the EU, austerity and globalisation, to hear their stories and perspectives. Only then can we start to think about whether there are shared values and principles which could form the basis for a European politics of the future.

Rage and Protest
The Case of the Greek Indiginant Movement
Marilena Simiti
In 2011 numerous 'Occupy' and anti-austerity protests took place across Europe and the United States. Passionate indignation at the failure of political elites became a mobilizing force against formal political institutions. In Greece a mass movement known as the Aganaktismeni (the Indignant) became the main agent of social resistance to the memorandum signed by the Greek government, the European Union and the International Monetary Fund. The Greek movement did not take the form of a social movement sharing a collective identity. Left-wing protestors played a prominent role. Protestors embracing right-wing populist frames also participated actively in collective mobilizations, while segments of the extreme right attempted to manipulate rage to their advantage. During the Greek Indignant movement civil society remained a terrain contested by conflicting political forces. This unique feature of the Greek movement posed a completely different challenge to the principles of diversity and inclusiveness than the one debated within the Spanish Indignados and the Occupy protests. Furthermore, it illustrates that rage and indignation may spark dissimilar forms of political contention. Hence, rage and indignation do not merely motivate 'passive citizens' to participate in collective protest. They are linked to cognitive frames and individual preferences, which influence protestors' claims and mobilizations' political outcomes. Accordingly, advances in democratization and inclusive citizenship are only one of the possible outcomes of mobilizations prompted by rage and indignation.
Civil Societies and Uncivil Times
The Rubber Band Ball of Transnational Tensions
Brian Callan
This article introduces a special issue of Contention Journal addressing various contemporary mobilizations of civil society in response to the war in Syria and the migration of refugees into Europe. With contributions from Turkey, Israel, Lebanon, Canada, the Czech Republic and Germany, the cases represent a breadth of multidisciplinary approaches and a variety of stylistic standpoints, from statistical media analysis to troubled personal reflections of engaged activist academics. The subject matter ranges from political mobilization against authoritarianism and austerity, transnational philanthropy, the emergence of local grassroots voluntary aid to right-wing populist nationalism. Though diverse, a coherent narrative is seen to converge around the refugee crisis as it unfolds in Europe; one of radical polarization within civil societies and starkly conflicting imaginaries of social futures that claim to preclude the legitimacy of other possibilities. At the same time alliances are being generated beyond borders in an attempt to bolster ideological capacity, authority, and force. This is not a clash of civilizations but the rubber band ball of transnational tension, a strained, chaotic and overlapping global contestation. At stake is the understanding of what a civil society should be.

Lock therapy may be an adjunct in high-risk cancer patients for the prevention of CLABSI; higher quality evidence is needed for specific ALT recommendations" Norris et al (2017).
BACKGROUND: Central venous catheter (CVC) use is commonplace in cancer patients. Antimicrobial lock therapy (ALT), the instillation of a concentrated antimicrobial solution into the catheter lumen, is one method for preventing infection among CVCs. This systematic review discusses the effectiveness and safety of prophylactic ALT in cancer patients with CVCs.
METHODS: A literature search was performed using the Medline database and Google Scholar from inception until April 2016. The following terms were used: 'antimicrobial lock solution', 'antibiotic lock solution', 'oncology', 'hematology', 'pediatrics', 'prevention', 'cancer', 'catheter related bloodstream infections', 'central-line associated bloodstream infection' (CLABSI) and 'central venous catheter'. Studies evaluating prophylactic ALT in cancer patients alone were eligible for inclusion. Case reports, case series and in-vitro studies were excluded.
RESULTS: In total, 78 articles were identified. Following all exclusions, 13 articles (three adult and 10 pediatric) were selected for evaluation. The most common agents utilized were vancomycin with heparin; ethanol; taurolidine; and minocycline with EDTA. Quality of evidence was moderate to high in adult studies and low to moderate in pediatric studies. Use of ALT decreased the incidence of CLABSI in the majority of studies; however, there were significant differences in definitions of CVC-related infection, dwell times and lock solutions.
CONCLUSION: Lock therapy may be an adjunct in high-risk cancer patients for the prevention of CLABSI; higher quality evidence is needed for specific ALT recommendations.

By Tom Yamachika The Tax Man | Sunday, February 10, 2019, 12:05 a.m.
This week, we are continuing our coverage of creative tax-related bills at our Legislature. The Hawaii State Tax Watch Doggie is taking a nap at the moment, so I'll continue without him.
Let's start with the revenue-raisers (SB is Senate Bill, HB is House Bill, and GET is general excise tax).
SB 1373 raises the GET rate. At least that one is straightforward and easy to understand. SB 1474 raises the GET rate a little more, but this would fund the state Department of Education and University of Hawaii. How much are the rate increases? 0.3 percent and 0.5 percent, respectively, but if the bills move the number probably will be amended. Next!
HB 1459/SB 1463 enacts a carbon tax, which we have written about before here and here, and replaces the current fuel tax and the barrel tax. HB 1287 and HB 1579 just enact a carbon tax, leaving the other taxes on fuel in place, although HB 1287 says that half of the tax is to be refunded to taxpayers through the income-tax system.
SB 1362 increases the conveyance tax for the sale of homes over $2 million. Gone forever are the days it was just 0.05 percent f the sale price (5 cents per $100 of value).
SB 1473 establishes a food expenditure tax credit. The bill says the credit is based on adjusted gross income, but there is no table or schedule to tell us what the amount of the credit would be. There is also language defining qualified food expenditures — the cost of food and dietary supplements count, prepared food and alcoholic beverages don't count, anything coming out of a vending machine doesn't count, and tobacco products don't count.
At present the credit doesn't seem to depend on the amount of qualified food expenditures, so why define the term? If the answer is that individuals are supposed to keep track of their own food expenditures and then submit a credit claim after a year, I wonder if it's realistic to expect any taxpayer to do that while following all the rules correctly.
Good luck to all of us — no one's safe when our Legislature is in session!!


In 2007, Ken and I spent two nights at the haunted Gwydir Castle in the foothills of Snowdonia, North Wales. Even though the place is called a castle, the Tudor-era structure feels more like a manor house or mansion than the towering medieval fortress ruins that dot the region.
(If you're a castle lover, northern Wales is your dream destination.) Gwydir is a private home, a museum, and a bed-and-breakfast (with two rooms)—all historically decorated in antiques.
Yet, this charming Tudor "castle" has a ruined past. Built around 1500, it was the ancestral home of the powerful Wynn family, descended from the Kings and Princes of Gwynedd. It was rat-infested, crumbling and damp—and being used as a night club when Judy Corbett and her husband-to-be Peter Welford bought it in 1994.
The couple had little money but a passion for history, so they spent years living in a construction zone doing much of the painstaking historical restoration themselves. In the process, they encountered a number of ghosts with hundreds of years worth of sitings.
Many people report a foul smell in one of the house passageways—the centuries-old stench of the woman's corpse. Ken and I smelled nothing, but the passageway certainly feels colder than the rest of the house.
There's also a ghost of Sir John Wynn—possibly the murderer—who is often seen on the spiral staircase. Gwydir even has a ghost dog, a large one. Judy and Peter actually dug up the skeleton of a large dog years ago in the basement.
Ken and I didn't do any actual "ghost hunting" at night. Instead, we slept cozily in our four-poster canopy bed in the Duke of Beaufort's Chamber, a lovely large room furnished with antiques and a private bath in the hall.
Except for the bedrooms, the castle does not use electricity (to keep it authentic). And, at night, the alarm system is activated, so one doesn't want to creep about and wake the whole house. Besides, why would ghosts appear only at night?
The closest I came to an apparition was when the castle's two large lurchers (a British breed of dog I'd never heard of before) bounded through the breakfast room. A moment later, a third dog nosed through the breakfast room door and streaked across the room. But, there were only two dogs that I knew of! Could the third have been the ghost dog wanting to join the living pair in play?
There is (or at least was) one sinister spirit at Gwydir Castle, a woman who haunted Judy for months early during the renovation. Lady Margaret followed Judy everywhere and triggered a series of "accidents" apparently intended to harm Peter.
Fortunately, Lady Margaret Cave—whose good nature darkened radically after the birth of her son in the early 1600s—has not appeared since. She was married to the philanderer Sir John Wynn, so perhaps being married to him sent her into an eternal rage against the man of the house.
There's nothing nightmarish about staying at Gwydir. In fact, spending two days among its archways, mullioned and wisteria-covered windows, and Tudor-style beams was a dream come true. It's a little like sleeping in a museum—a fantasy of mine since I was 10 and read From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler.
The castle dining room has a story so long and fascinating I can't even go into it here. Suffice it to say that its glorious Tudor panels were bought by William Randolph Hearst in the 1920s and stored at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York for decades. Now they're magnificently back in the castle.
Gwydir Castle is three miles from the resort town of Betws-y-Coed and 12 miles from the medieval walled town of Conwy, so it's a great B&B to stay at while exploring the North Wales castles. It's also within walking distance of the market town of Llanrwst, which has train and bus connections plus several good restaurants and pubs.
Gwydir Castle is open to the public (admission fee) April through October. Check for times.
P.S. I highly recommend Judy Corbett's book, Castles in the Air: The Restoration Adventures of Two Young Optimists and a Crumbling Old Mansion (Random House, UK, 2004). I bought a copy while staying at the castle, and I read it on train rides across Wales and on the plane home.
In gathering photos for this blog entry, I noticed that a number of them have round, ghostly patches of light. At first I thought they were shiny flash spots or reflections, yet most of them are against backgrounds with no reflective surfaces. Then I thought they might be dust motes or raindrops on the camera lens.
But they appear in indoor photos and those taken on sunny days. Could they be blobs of ectoplasm? Were Gwydir's spirits dancing around us?
You decide. Let me know what you think by leaving a comment below.

Q: How to properly create Android/iOS Expansion Files Is there a proper way to create expansions files for iOS and Android apps using the command line tool (haxe or lime) or is it always just by manually making a .zip file and renaming it to match the correct pattern?

A: I do the same thing. I also made an extension with a tool for this that simplifies the command. In addition to zipping and pushing the obb file to your device for testing, it also has the suggested google libraries to handle downloading the OBB in the case that the APK is downloaded and not the obb. https://github.com/thomasuster/android-expansion

Why pay equalisation is bad news for women
By Kris Sayce - posted Wednesday, 10 March 2010 Sign Up for free e-mail updates!
It's always dangerous broaching a subject when we know you may not like what we write, but as you'll be aware that rarely puts us off.
This morning a couple of news stories caught our eye: "Gender pay gap shows no sign of abating" - news.com.au; and "Bosses to fund parental leave" - news.com.au.
Our initial response to these stories is: why would anyone want to lose their competitive advantage in the workforce?
That's right, if it's true - and statistics suggest it is true - that female employees are generally paid less than male employees then attempts to "close" the gender pay gap have the potential to rob female workers of one of their competitive advantages - that they are prepared to work for lower pay than male employees.
Whichever way you look at it, whether it's employers "exploiting" female employees or female employees having little choice but to accept lower wages, the statistics suggest that female employees as a whole do accept lower rates of pay than male employees.
Again, that's the stats talking.
Therefore it's reasonable to argue that this is a competitive advantage for a potential female employee. That she can undercut a potential male employee by implicitly or explicitly offering her labour services at a lower cost than a potential male employee.
Let's take a look at a chart showing the male and female employment numbers since 1978:
insert graph here
As you can see, employment numbers for both have risen over this time. The number of male employers has climbed by around 50 per cent, however, the number of female employees has more than doubled.
What's the reason for this? Is it due to pay equalisation? Or is it due to fewer restrictions on women entering the workforce?
Or, is it because employers are able to pay female employees less than male employees? Giving female employees a competitive advantage over their male counterparts.

"I'd like to thank all the volunteers. I believe that at the beginning of the war in Donbas, the Ukrainian army was largely created thanks to you. The modern army that we have today," he said.

"Volunteers united the whole of Ukraine with their energy and dedication in 2014, protecting it from Russian aggression," he summed up.
