Dating a passage in Acts
Acts 18:12-17 reads (NRSV):
12 But when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews made a united attack on Paul and brought him before the tribunal. 13 They said, "This man is persuading people to worship God in ways that are contrary to the law." 14 Just as Paul was about to speak, Gallio said to the Jews, "If it were a matter of crime or serious villainy, I would be justified in accepting the complaint of you Jews; 15 but since it is a matter of questions about words and names and your own law, see to it yourselves; I do not wish to be a judge of these matters." 16 And he dismissed them from the tribunal. 17 Then all of them seized Sosthenes, the official of the synagogue, and beat him in front of the tribunal. But Gallio paid no attention to any of these things.
Paul got in trouble with the Jews of Achaia and they brought him to Gallio, the Roman Proconsul of the province. Gallio determined that whatever Jewish laws Paul may have violated, no civil (Roman) law was broken. So, being a sensible magistrate, he dismissed the case.
Lucius_Junius_Gallio_Annaeanus was quite a distinguished figure. He was the son of Seneca the Elder and the brother of the philosopher/playwright/statesman/… Seneca the Younger, who was later to be advisor to the Emperor Nero (that did not end well). So this episode of Acts is something of a "crossover" with the Roman history of the Julio-Claudian dynasty and with philosophy: The works of Seneca the Younger are an important part of Stoic philosophy, although even in his own time it was thought that he talked the talk more than he walked the walk.
How a discovery about pagan Rome shed light on early Church history reports on contemporary Roman inscriptions which mention Gallio. From them we know that Gallio was Proconsul for one year beginning on May 1, A.D. 51. Hence the events of Acts 18:12-17 took place during that year, giving a us fixed historical marker in Paul's ministry.

There are a number of reasons why you should consider installing or restoring your industrial flooring in Albuquerque. First of all, it will look much better than the worn-out flooring you have now, which may even have hazardous cracks in it, or might be completely worn through in high-traffic areas. A great new flooring system made of epoxy can make your floor much more resistant to stains, and it can make clean-up operations a whole lot easier to carry out.
Some industries like pharmaceutical, food, and restaurant businesses are mandated by the FDA to have flooring installed that is free of cracks or holes, because insects and mold can easily grow and proliferate in such places. Non-porous floors such as epoxy surfaces fulfill this requirement nicely and exclude the possibility of unwanted bacterial growth. If your industrial flooring has been exposed to years of heavy traffic, for instance in a warehouse environment, it's very likely that your flooring has become worn and exposed, or that spalling has occurred, with numerous little parts broken off and presenting a hazard to employees.
Maintaining a clean industrial floor is always much better for employee morale and for their general safety as well. When you always have a clean floor surface, the aesthetics are much more appealing, and this is far better than having a dirty, dusty floor, which can cause employees to become disenchanted with the work environment. It's not an exaggeration to say that this can also have an impact on employee productivity, and that it can also affect quality control in the workplace.
Types of industrial flooring available from JTC Coatings, Inc.
JTC Inc. had its origins way back in 1968, and it has been refining its services and products ever since that time, so as to provide the very best to businesses in the Albuquerque region. When you contact us, we'll be able to discuss your industrial flooring needs intelligently and provide you with the best solution for both your budget and your commercial needs. It might be a simple two-component epoxy flooring system, which is either clear or pigmented, and which can handle normal to moderate traffic at your business.
Then again, you might need an overlay epoxy flooring system, which is a three-component system, installed up to 5/16″ thick and is mixed as an epoxy mortar. This heavy-duty flooring system is often used to restore concrete that has become badly worn and is in serious need of an upgrade. Extremely heavy traffic is often the cause of flooring to become worn in this way, and because heavy traffic is also anticipated for the future, a very serious solution is called for to restore the concrete and to protect it against future wear and tear.
We can also install a system for you that will deliver cracked and spalled construction joint repairs, which are capable of repairing any kind of holes or cracks in concrete pads, and to make sure that construction joints are completely filled. In some industries, FDA and USDA regulations require that such floor surfaces be maintained to a specific standard and that they can be cleaned easily. Our flooring systems meet and exceed these requirements, and you can expect all industrial flooring systems to be installed by JTC Inc. with the utmost professionalism and friendly service.

"Groundwater, a renewable and finite natural resource, is a vital source of sustenance for humans and different ecosystems in the semi-arid regions. Rapid population growth in the last three decades has caused a rise in water demand which has inadvertently posed a stress on its availability. The current study involves a field hydrogeological mapping that was integrated with remote sensing and GIS to delineate areas. This paper attempts to provide a robust methodology to prioritize areas vulnerable to groundwater unavailability. The attached research brief summarises the key findings of the article.

A: Your JSON is not valid.
Once you create a valid JSON string, parsing it is very simple.
Use the following steps:

*

*remove the commas after the last property of each object

*remove the newlines

*wrap the JSON text in single quotes

*call jQuery.parseJSON() on the text

Here's a working fiddle.
It does something like this:
var jsonText = '[ { "cid": "3", "pid": "0", "nid"...} ]';
var jo = $.parseJSON(jsonText);

A: If you have the JSON in string form, you can use JSON.parse[MDN] to get it in object form, and then do with it what you need to.
Modern browsers have this function natively - no jQuery necessary - but you can also include it yourself from one of these locations:

Q: Comparing two estimators for accuracy using empirical bootstrap I am trying to figure out the proper way to compare the quality of two estimators of a parameter based on data. The basic approach I've taken is to compute the MSE of the empirical bootstrap distribution of each estimator, but then the question is: how do I put "error bars" on these MSEs, to see if the difference is statistically significant?
Setup. I have a parameter $\theta \in \mathbb R$, with a known (to me) true value, and a dataset ${\bf x} = \{x_1,...,x_n\}$ that I'm using to estimate $\theta$ using complicated models. In particular, I have have two different estimators, $\hat \theta_A(\cdot)$ and $\hat \theta_B(\cdot)$, that are MLEs for two different models of the data generating process.
Estimator values. When I compute the estimates, I get two values, $\hat \theta_A({\bf x})$ and $\hat \theta_B({\bf x})$, and I observe that A is closer than B to the true $\theta$. A great start, but naturally I want to make a robust investigation into wether model A is better than model B.
Empirical bootstrap distributions. These estimators are not plausibly normally distributed, and so I'm using bootstrapping to take $m=10000$ sample sets from ${\bf x}$ with replacement, ${\bf x'_1},\ldots, {\bf x'_m}$, and now I have two empirical bootstrap distributions, one for $\hat \theta_A$ and one for $\hat \theta_B$, and a true value, $\theta$.
MSE. To compare these two distributions in their proximity to $\theta$, I've computed the mean squared error (MSE) of the bootstrap distribution of $\hat \theta_A$ and of $\hat \theta_B$. This again gives me two numbers, $MSE_A$ and $MSE_B$, and I observe that $MSE_A$ is smaller. Better, but this is still "only a number", and I would prefer a distribution of outcomes, where I could see how often A is better than B. Question: is there some proper way to put "error bars" on $MSE_A$ and $MSE_B$?
Alternative approach: error distributions. Short of putting error bars on the MSE, my empirical bootstrap distributions are paired, so for each draw of the bootstrap I can compare the two absolute errors $e^A_i = |\hat \theta_A ({\bf x'_i})-\theta|$ to $e^B_i = |\hat \theta_B ({\bf x'_i})-\theta|$, and look at how often one is greater than the other. By looking at the distribution of $\Delta^{A,B}_i = e^A_i - e^B_i$, I can take an empirical 5/95 CI from the bootstrap distribution $\{ \Delta^{A,B}_i, ..., \Delta^{A,B}_m\}$, and notice that, indeed, the 5th percentile is positive.
Summary questions. Is this alternative approach a correct way to robustly determine which estimator is better? Is there some basic method for paired tests, with or without bootstrapping, that I should be employing?

Preparation of actinide compounds in the Oharai facility
Kenji Suzuki, Franck Wastin, Akira Ochiai, Tatsuo Shikama, Yoshimitsu Suzuki, Yoshinobu Shiokawa, Toshiaki Mitsugashira, Takashi Suzuki, Takemi Komatsubara
In 1990, the Oharai facility of Tohoku University began operations of its unit for research on the materials science of actinide elements. By using high vacuum zone melting and solid state electrolysis, uranium metal was refined up to a purity of 99.99 wt.%. The growth of U2PtSi3 and UGe2 single crystals was achieved by the Czochralski pulling method, using a tri-arc furnace. The Bridgman method using capsulation in a tungsten metal cylinder was employed to grow UTe and USb single crystals. Thin plates of UCu5 and UAl2 amorphous alloys were prepared by sputter deposition. These compounds were characterized by measuring the X-ray diffraction, electrical resistivity, magnetic susceptibility and low temperature specific heat.

From assembly to final inspection and shipment, the Customized Product Assembly Team is responsible for custom orders, each of which is uniquely designed to meet the needs of a specific customer. We talked with Yuki Ikeda, leader of the inspection line, with eight years of experience on the team.
"Though it may be one of hundreds for us, every product we make is the only one for the customer who ordered it. So I always put myself in the customer's shoes and ask myself, 'When I receive this, will I be satisfied?'"
In charge of inspections before shipment, Ikeda is the last bulwark defending Kito quality. He carefully checks each product to see that it operates normally and appears flawless. When production volume is high, this job can be a race against time.
He says, "Quality is not about just the product, it's about our practice of meeting deadlines. With severe time constraints it's hard to achieve both goals at once -- manufacturing with care and meeting the deadline. This is where I as line leader demonstrate my skills."
Outside work he wears a different hat as captain of a local baseball team. He keeps very busy during the season with practices and games.
He says, "Practice after work can be exhausting, but I don't suffer, because it's what I love to do. Lately my wife and daughter have been coming to the games, and I want to look fabulous for my daughter!"
"My baseball experience complements my work. The captain's job is to bring the team tightly together under the direction of the manager. The job of the line leader is very similar. Under the team leader, who directs the team, I work to build an environment where the work gets done efficiently, keeping everyone happy in close communication with each other."
Asked what he thinks is most important at work, Ikeda says, "Having fun is it. The Customized Product Assembly Team is a group of people of all ages with a high level of professionalism. We've overcome many difficult situations by helping each other, sometimes in fun ways. As we build experience, we hone our skills and build confidence too. Most anything can be accomplished if every team member does his or her best. I believe having fun leads to positive results."

Russian cyber criminals teaming up with Chinese hackers
Meeting with White Rose and the dark army
There's some unusual activity brewing on Russian-speaking cybercrime forums, where hackers appear to be reaching out to Chinese counterparts for collaboration in a move which sounds like a sub plot for Mr Robot.
It appears that the Russians are trying to enlist Chinese threat actors, mainly seen on the RAMP hacking forum, which is encouraging Mandarin-speaking actors to participate in conversations, share tips, and collaborate on attacks.
The forum has reportedly had at least thirty new user registrations that appear to come from China, so this could be the beginning of something notable.
The researchers suggest that the most probable cause is that Russian ransomware gangs seek to build alliances with Chinese actors to launch cyber-attacks against US targets, trade vulnerabilities, or even recruit new talent for their Ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS) operations.
The initiative was started by a RAMP admin known as Kajit, who claims to have recently spent some time in China and can speak the language. In the prior version of RAMP, he had intimated that he would be inviting Chinese threat actors to the forum, which appears to now be taking place.
Russian hackers attempting to collaborate with Chinese threat actors is not limited to the RAMP hacking forum as Flashpoint has also seen similar collaboration on the XSS hacking forum.
RAMP was set up last summer by a core member of the original Babuk ransomware gang, aiming to serve as a new place to leak valuable data stolen from cyberattacks and recruit ransomware affiliates.

Restore Medical Solutions introduces new product, secures more funding
by innovamemphis | Jul 15, 2015 | News | 0 comments
Memphis-based Restore Medical Solutions has finalized a new series of funding that will help the company continue product development.
Restore, developer of a tray that aids in the sterilization process of medical instruments after surgery, received $1.6 million from a group of investors that included MB Venture Partners, Innova and Mountain Group Capital, an investor from Nashville. Steven King, Restore's president and CEO also participated in the funding.
Restore has received $4.2 million in funding since its inception, and King indicated the company's next round of funding would support scaling up its sales organization.
King, who joined Restore as CEO earlier this year, originally served as a consultant with the company but was impressed with the product and its capabilities. The company was founded by Ryan Ramkhelawan, and Shawn Flynn. Restore was one of the first companies to complete the Zeroto510 Accelerator program at the Memphis Bioworks Foundation.
"(Restore) had several elements in place for a successful business. One, you have two innovative guys with experience from a customer's perspective and two, you have the hospital market trying to solve a significant problem with respect to cleaning and sterilizing their surgical instruments," King said. "That was something I could add value to."

Gospel music trailblazer's J Moss' new album, "Grown Folks Gospel," is being released Nov. 25.
It is the sixth album by Moss, a Detroit native who recently spoke with Hollywood Hernandez, program director for The Touch Radio and 1410 AM The Touch, about the project and his music.
T.I.'s latest album, "Paperwork," hit stores today.
Pharrell Williams is the album's executive producer. And though T.I. says the pair worked together on 20 or 25 songs for the album, only four made the final cut.
It wasn't that the music they did together wasn't good enough. As T.I. told ABC News Radio: It's that the music was too good.

I know what you're thinking — a hypocritical politician?! The horror! But the fact that my local council member, Ydanis Rodriguez, is running for re-election is particularly galling, considering his past stance on a major issue.
In the spirit of full disclosure, I must say that I considered a primary challenge of Rodriguez in Washington Heights/Inwood's District 10. I even started filling out the preliminary paperwork. But I abandoned it because there was no possible way I could win.
First of all, it is nearly impossible to unseat an incumbent council member in New York City.
And after eight years in office, I'm sure Rodriguez is a well-funded, well-organized candidate with an extensive staff. I have none of that. Mine would have been a lone wolf, self-financed campaign. And since I am not a rich man (and I would have refused to accept donations from individuals or corporations — not that they would have been beating down my door to hand me cash!), it would have been impossible to compete.
And frankly, I do not think a non-Latino can ever win in my district. So why bother running if I knew beforehand that I was destined to lose?
Anyway, let's go back to 2008, the year before Ydanis Rodriguez was first elected to the Council. That was then then-Mayor Bloomberg made a backroom deal with the City Council leader to allow him and termed-out council members to run for a third term in 2009.
Critics were outraged, since city law called for a maximum of two consecutive terms, voted on twice by the people of New York (and a third time since then). So the will of the people of New York was and still is clear — they do not want politicians in office for more than two terms.
Now, part of the Bloomberg deal allowed council members who were elected in 2009 to also run for a third term. Rodriguez falls under that clause and is clearly taking advantage of it. So it is important to point out that Rodriguez is not doing anything illegal by running for a third term.
"I find this entire situation to be very frustrating. It's frustrating for me as a candidate, but it's even more frustrating for me as a social studies teacher.
So back in 2008 Ydanis Rodriguez cared very deeply about the "will of the people" because it suited his purposes. The district's incumbent council member, Miguel Martinez, was planning on running for a third term, which likely would have left Rodriguez in the dust. Rodriguez caught a break when Martinez was caught up in a corruption scandal and resigned in July 2009, just a couple of months before the primary.
So the will of the people was very important to Ydanis Rodriguez back then. Now, though, not so much.
If Rodriguez still cared out the will of the people, he would not run, even though he could. He could have said, "I am allowed to run, but I won't because I know the voters do not want me to." He would have been a hero, a man of great character, a man who puts the needs of the people over his own. A true public servant.
Instead, Ydanis Rodriguez is your typical politician, worried only about his own self-interests.
He does not deserve to be re-elected. But he will, because that's the way the system in this city is set up. It is why term limits were proposed in the first place — to allow more people to get into government. Sadly, Ydanis Rodriguez has decided to slap that idea down, as well as slapping the voters in the face.


Yesterday, I posted by Top Ten YA Series picks, but today, I'm sharing my Top Ten Standalones. Standalone novels are wonderful, in that they pack a mighty punch in only one book, which is a hard thing to do. Even though I don't read them as often as I would like, I do enjoy them. Here is my list.
Graceling is part of a series, I guess you could read it as a standalone though. Great list, I'll have to keep reading Vespertine because so far I'm not enjoying it, hope it gets better.

4 universities: 'We must retain independence, autonomy'
MANILA. Many student activists are members of Anakbayan, one of the organizations that the military alleges is a front for the communist movement. The group has denied the allegation and denounced the military for red-tagging. (File)
FOUR of the largest universities in the country on Sunday, January 24, 2021, jointly issued a statement objecting to the red-tagging by a military general and emphasizing that they "must retain independence and autonomy from the State."
Top officials of Far Eastern University (FEU), De La Salle University, University of Santo Tomas (UST) and Ateneo de Manila University stressed that their institutions "neither promote nor condone recruitment activities of the New People's Army (NPA) and any movement that aims to violently overthrow the government."
They issued the statement in reaction to the reported statement of Lieutenant General Antonio Parlade Jr. that their institutions were among 18 universities that serve as "recruitment havens" for the NPA.
"This charge, though, is really 'getting old' - a rehash of the public accusation the general made in 2018 irresponsibly since (it was) cast without proof," the four university presidents stated.
They asserted that as Philippine schools, they "value the Filipinos' basic constitutional rights of speech, thought, assembly and organization."
"As universities with high aspirations for our country, we seek to direct our students to engage in acts that contribute to the strengthening of social cohesion, defend the country's democratic institutions and promote nation-building," they stated.
"And as institutions of higher learning that are stewards of the youth, repositories and producers of knowledge, and builders of communities, we must retain independence and autonomy from the State and other social institutions," they added.
They take their primary responsibilities to promote learning and safeguard the rights of the young entrusted to their care as a sacred trust.
"We are committed to this mission and have always held ourselves accountable to our primary constituents, the learners, and by extension, their parents," they added.
The signatories were FEU president Michael Alba, De La Salle president Br. Raymundo Suplido FSC, UST vice rector Fr. Isaias Tiongco OP and Ateneo de Manila president Fr. Roberto Yap SJ.
Their statement was issued a few days after the Department of National Defense unilaterally terminated the 1989 accord that prevents state forces from entering University of the Philippines campuses without coordination with the university administration.
To defend the abrogation of the UP-DND accord, the military has released a list of UP students and alumni who alleged died or were captured during operations against the NPA.
The list, however, included the names of living UP alumni who are not members of the NPA.
The military also alleged without providing proof that some schools have become recruitment havens for the NPA. (Marites Villamor-Ilano / SunStar Philippines)

What's the difference between a Policy Template and an Applied Policy?
A policy template is the policy-as-code (blueprint of the policy) that defines what a policy does (input, conditions, actions etc). An applied policy is the running instance of a specific policy template. A policy template can be applied as many times as needed with different input parameters.
How do I get access to the Policies?
Check out the detailed role matrix and contact your administrator for appropriate access.
What additional roles do I need to apply (run) policies?
Additional role requirements are captured in the Policy List.
How often do policies run?
The policy will trigger right after you first apply it. After that, it will execute based on the frequency you selected at the time of applying it. e.g.: Every 15 minutes, Hourly, Daily, or Weekly.
What are the different severity levels?
RightScale has 4 pre-defined severity levels: critical, high, medium, and low. Severity is a mandatory field so if you don't provide one, we default it to low. Learn more here. To change the severity level of a policy template, update the severity field in the template and re-upload it.
Does the new Policy Engine impact existing Policy CATs in Self-Service?
The new policy engine is completely standalone and separate from our Self-Service module. However, if you have new policies as well as existing policy CATs touching the same resources, you might see an overlap. We recommend using the new Policy Management exclusively.
How do I submit my feedback on Policies?
You can directly talk to the team working on policies by clicking the Give Feedback button on the bottom left of the Governance. For reporting issues or bugs, please contact support@rightscale.com directly.
How do I customize built-in RightScale policies as per my specific requirements?
All RightScale policy templates are open source and can be downloaded straight from our public git repo. You can then modify the code based on your requirements and upload it on the Templates before applying it.
How do I write my own policy?
Learn more about our policy template language policy template language and find some examples here.
How do I leverage the Policy APIs?
RightScale is an API driven platform. API docs can be found here.
What file extension is recommended for Policy Templates?
We recommend using .pt as the file extension for policy templates but it's not a mandatory requirement.
Can I apply a policy template across multiple accounts?
Yes, you can apply a Policy Template from the Catalog view and select the accounts you wish to apply it on.
How do I delete RightScale Policy Templates from the Unpublished Catalog view?
We do not allow users to delete built-in RightScale Policy Templates at the moment.
Where can I find troubleshooting docs?
Check out Testing and Debugging docs.
What happens when the policy errors out?
Policies in error state are shown on the Dashboard and Applied Policies page. Policy engine will keep retrying the policy when it errors out based on the policy frequency (e.g.: Every 15 minutes, Hourly, etc) to get pass potential temporary issues.
When a policy with incidents is terminated, the incident will be terminated and no more actions will take place. The incident will move to a Terminated state.
Where are my Applied Policies that were terminated?
We do not store information about policies that were terminated. If this is something you would like to see, please don't hesitate to submit a feedback.
Why don't I see an "Export to CSV" option in the Incident details panel?
Incident details data is completely customizable and defined in the respective policy template. The data content is not always compatible in the CSV format. Hence, we only show the option to Export to CSV when the incident details contains a markdown table.

Rocket attack on USS Ashland docked in Jordan; another rocket fired at Israeli town
(Redirected from Rocket attack on USS Ashland docked in Aqaba; another rocket fired at Eilat, Israel)
USS Ashland
Two Katyusha rockets exploded this morning (8:44 AM UTC+3) in Aqaba, Jordan, near the USS Ashland, which has been docking at the Aqaba port for the last ten days. One Jordanian soldier was killed. Another rocket exploded in Eilat, Israel.
One rocket narrowly missed the USS Ashland and struck a warehouse in the vicinity of the Ashland and the USS Kearsarge, killing a Jordanian soldier, Private Ahmad Alnajdawi, and injuring another. The two amphibious ships had been docking at the Aqaba port for the last ten days. The other missile fell near a Jordanian hospital but caused no injuries.
Commander Jeff Breslau of the U.S. Fifth Fleet told reporters "I can confirm that a rocket flew over the bow of USS Ashland and the rocket impacted in the roof of a warehouse. No sailors or marines were injured. It's pretty safe to conclude that they were probably trying to hit one or both of the ships".
The rocket that was aimed at Eilat exploded about 15 meters from the Eilat airport, near several hotels. An Israeli taxi driver, Meir Farhan (40), was lightly injured. Farhan told the press "I heard a noise, the car shook, and I kept driving for two more meters. I didn't realize what it was; when I went out of the car I saw a hole in the ground on the asphalt."
A branch of the Al-Qaeda linked terrorist organization Abdullah Azzam Brigades in Egypt has claimed responsibility for the attack. They also claim responsibility for last month's terror attack in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt and for the 2004 attack on Egyptian tourist resorts.
Immediately after the attack, the two US Navy Ships left the Aqaba port. All flights in the Eilat airport were briefly delayed before the explosion site was cleared of debris.
Jordanian security forces have located the launch site on a nearby rooftop. They are searching for three people with connection to the attack, two Syrian nationals and one Iraqi.
Israeli Defense Minister, Shaul Mofaz said that Israeli and Jordanian security forces are cooperating. "We are certain the Jordanians are also acting to thwart such attacks" Mofaz said. "There were no prior warnings regarding this specific case, but we're alert.".
Eilat and Aqaba are both considered international tourist destinations in their respective countries.

Q: LibreOffice / Openoffice or Scribus for book project? I want to create a book and publish it later with an ondemand book printing provider.
I read that Libreoffice 3.4 and 3.5 have some more DTP features but dont know if I should take Scribus or Libreoffice for creating the PDFs.
I want to create single PDF files and give them to the sample readers for feedback and corrections.
Has Scribus a better understanding of DTP and makes a better use of the concepts or is Libreoffice so far now, that it is even better?

A: Book = text  (+ images) + layout.
If there is only text and if its not an issue to position precisely your text then Libreoffice should be fine.
If you want to mix text and images, and have them precisely related and precisely layed out in each page, then Scribus will be better.
Its better to have the text 99% ready before begining the layout. I usually use Libreoffice for linear text editing. For this text work, i dont want images and layout to interfere with work on the pure text. When the text is allmost ready, i pour it into scribus along with the images and there begins the layout with precise positionning and graphical design.
Same for your corrections :
If you want your reader to check the quality of the text, then libreoffice is the tool since it can produce PDFs.
If you know your text is ready and you want your reader to check the quality of the book when it is allmost ready to print, then scribus is the way to go because it produces the PDFs that will fit your printer's expectations.

Can anyone help me ?

A: Rename your grid file to Mygrid.php (the first letter should be upper-cased), and inside the config.xml file change the admin router section as:
<admin>
    <routers>
        <adminhtml>
            <args>
                <modules>
                    <security before="Mage_Adminhtml">Somdeb_Security_Adminhtml</security>
                </modules>
            </args>
        </adminhtml>
    </routers>
</admin>

The issue is that you are using the frontend router declaration for the adminhtml section too. You should declare the router for adminhtml differently.

A: Please see the following changes which you need to make. Grid is missing in  class name app/code/local/Somdeb/Security/Block/Adminhtml/Security/Grid.php

In your controller, index action change
$this->_addContent($this->getLayout()->createBlock('somdeb_security/adminhtml_mygrid'));
to
$this->_addContent($this->getLayout()->createBlock('security/adminhtml_mygrid'));
See in your config.xml file your block group name id security not somdeb_security

Liberal Arts is a great reflection of the stages of life's thought process and development: youth's ambition and optimism, adult cynicism and disillusion and the aged apprehension and anxiety.
Zibby: Everything in life is basically improvised. There's no script, we are just making this up as we go along.
The blend of new and old is what varsity is all about, a place that encourages endless and limitless thoughts and opinions, it exposes the learner to subjects, thoughts and culture that they would never had seen or imagined before. Liberal Arts does this seamlessly, not only proving this theory true for the characters within the movie but also for those watching. This is particularly well illustrated with exploration and personal evaluation of classical music shared between the two main characters.
Jesse Fisher (Josh Randor) is an avid reader and lover of the English language who has become a disillusioned admissions officer at the age of 35 living in New York City. After receiving an invitation to attend his old college professor's farewell dinner at this old university, Jesse rediscovers his love for the vibrancy of campus life. He meets several people as he spends time with his ex-professor (Richard Jenkins) including the 19 year old Zibby (Elizabeth Olsen), who challenges his way of thinking and helps him rediscover his passion and purpose.
Zibby: Try not to over-think things, okay?
Jesse Fisher: Ah, you're talking to the wrong guy.
Zibby: Well, look. We connect really well, don't you think?
Jesse Fisher: We do, yeah. I just can't figure out if it's because you're advanced, or because I'm stunted.
Zibby: It's because I'm advanced.
Jesse Fisher: Maybe. But I'm also a little stunted.
This is a wonderfully authentic film, it comes across as relevant yet doesn't sell out or criticise specific popular trends and culture. The clever writing and excellent delivery of the lines is definitely the highlight of the film and shapes it into an honest and witty story about real people and their journeys. Zac Efron makes a cameo role and steals the show as the eccentric wonderer of the campuses and giver of advice.
Jesse Fisher: Thank you… This – is the worst book – ever – written – in English.
Zibby: So there are worse books written in other languages?
Jesse Fisher: Probably not. Unless this book is translated into other languages.
Without giving away the ending, some romantics may find the outcome of the film a little disappointing, but the sensible ones among us will see that it couldn't be more perfect. Liberal Arts certainly does not bend to the traditional college orientated movie.


James Willstrop at the final of the British National Championships last year.
Yorkshire's James Willstrop is not expecting an easy ride at the National Squash Championships in Nottingham, despite going into the tournament as top seed.
The former World No 1 is looking to reach his tenth final and claim a third title at the championship, after a successful 2018 in which he won singles gold and doubles bronze at the Commonwealth Games in Australia.
James Willstrop playing in the final of the Commonwealth Games men's singles last year.
Now 35, Willstrop is in the twilight of his career and he believes his experience has helped him to take a more serene approach to his squash in recent years.
"At this stage in my career now, pressure-wise I just don't go into it like that any more," said Willstrop.
"I'm quite relaxed, I'm really enjoying playing squash for a living.
"It's not like it was when I was in my peak years where you're striving for everything and putting so much intensity into everything.
It's not like it was when I was in my peak years where you're striving for everything and putting so much intensity into everything.
"It's less like that for me now.
The tournament, which gets underway today, will be the first Nationals in some time not to feature Willstrop's long-time rival and fellow Yorkshireman Nick Matthew. A ten-time national champion, Matthew retired in 2018 with a record of 49 wins to 13 against Willstrop, and bowed out as England's greatest ever squash player.
"Nick has been the main character in all this tournament and all across the world tour for god knows how long," said Willstrop.
"He will obviously be missed, he's won it so many times and he's probably the most successful Nationals squash player in history.
"Things quickly move on, though, we all retire.

Leonhard Aloys Joseph Nellessen (né le  à Aix-la-Chapelle, mort le  dans la même ville) est un prêtre catholique allemand, partisan de l'ultramontanisme.

Biographie
Issu de la famille Nellessen, une riche famille d'industriels du textile, neveu de , il reçoit d'abord l'éducation d'un précepteur jésuite puis étudie la philosophie et la théologie auprès des Frères mineurs conventuels d'Aix-la-Chapelle. Il apprend aussi l'hébreu auprès d'un rabbin. À l'automne 1808, peu de temps avant la mort de l'évêque d'Aix-la-Chapelle Marc-Antoine Berdolet, il est ordonné prêtre par ce dernier, cependant il n'est pas affecté à une paroisse à cause de problèmes de santé, aussi car il ne reconnaît pas l'autorité de Napoléon Ier, ni du nouvel évêque nommé par l'empereur Jean Denis François Camus.

Pendant plusieurs années, il est précepteur auprès d'étudiants qui ont une vocation spirituelle et fait souvent des messes à l', l'église des Frères mineurs. En 1817, il est nommé prêtre de cette église par le vicaire général du diocèse .

Durant son sacerdoce, Nellessen est un partisan strict de l'ultramontanisme. Il s'oppose aussi aux thèses de Georg Hermes, soutenus entre autres par l'archevêque Ferdinand August von Spiegel, partisans d'un catholicisme des Lumières. Cette opposition paraît aussi dans un conflit entre l'État prussien et l'Église catholique. Pour former un mouvement, Nellessen fonde un dit "Cercle des prêtres d'Aix-la-Chapelle", comprenant Johannes Theodor Laurent qui sert d'informateur au Saint-Siège, et Andreas Fey, le frère de Clara Fey.

Nellessen exprime son idéologie ultramontaniste dans des sermons, des oraisons funèbres et des écrits polémiques, il est ainsi censuré et arrêté à plusieurs reprises. Il se bat à coup d'articles dans des journaux d'Aix-la-Chapelle et de Cologne avec un autre prêtre d'Aix-la-Chapelle puis le philosophe Peter Joseph Elvenich et , futur maire de Cologne, partisans de Hermes. Stupp répond dans une lettre à Nellessen notamment lorsque le prêtre tient des propos discriminatoires envers les partisans de Hermes à l'occasion de l'oraison funèbre de Clément-Auguste Droste zu Vischering, l'archevêque de Cologne, mort en 1845.

Devenu aveugle en 1847, Nellessen soutient la création de l'ordre des sœurs du Pauvre Enfant Jésus et les aide à construire une église néo-gothique. De même, il assiste au retour du collège jésuite en lui donnant une partie de sa grande fortune.

À l'occasion de son jubilé sacerdotal, Leonhard Nellessen est fait en 1858 doctorat honoris causa par la Katholieke Universiteit Leuven. Il est enterré au cimetière de l'Est d'Aix-la-Chapelle.

'Not a racist family': Prince William speaks out after Meghan and Harry interview
Posted: Mar 11, 2021 / 06:02 AM CST | Updated: Mar 11, 2021 / 06:34 AM CST
LONDON (Reuters) — Prince William said on Thursday that Britain's royal family was not racist after revelations by his brother's wife Meghan that a member of the family had asked how dark their son Archie's skin might be.
The revelation emerged during an explosive tell-all interview Harry, 36, and Meghan, 39, gave to Oprah Winfrey which was aired on Sunday, plunging the British monarchy into its biggest crisis since the 1997 death of Princess Diana, William and Harry's mother.
On a visit to a school in east London, William said he had not yet talked to Harry, 36, since the interview was broadcast just over three days ago.

"I haven't spoken to him yet but I will do," William said.
Asked by a reporter if the royal family was racist, William said: "We're very much not a racist family."

In the two-hour show, Meghan also said the royals had ignored her pleas for help while she felt suicidal, while Harry said his father, heir-to-the-throne Prince Charles, had let him down and that he had felt trapped.
On Tuesday, Buckingham Palace issued a statement on behalf of Queen Elizabeth, the princes' grandmother, in which she said the family were saddened by how challenging the couple had found the last few years.

The statement added the issues of race were concerning and would be treated very seriously, but pointedly stated "some recollections may vary".
The Palace have said that it was a family matter that should be dealt with privately.
During the interview, Harry laid bare how distant he had come from the other members of his family, saying his father had stopped taking his calls at one point, and saying there was "space" in his relationship with William.

"Much will continue to be said about that … as I said before, you know, I love William to bits, he's my brother, we've been through hell together and we have a shared experience," he said. "But we're on different paths."
The interview was watched by 12.4 million viewers in Britain and 17.1 million in the United States.
It has proved divisive among the British public: some believe it showed how outdated and intolerant the institution was, while others decried it as a self-serving assault that neither Elizabeth nor her family deserved.

Enhance Cybersecurity With These Important Access Tools
No matter where you work or what you do, chances are that a significant portion of each workday involves signing in to different accounts and using different devices while keeping track of different passwords.
But what happens when you forget your login or have to reset your password? Your workday slows down, productivity screeches to a halt, and frustrations build.
It doesn't have to be this way, though. With single sign-on (SSO) and multi-factor authentication (MFA), you can simplify the login process, protect your company's important information, and empower your employees to work securely and efficiently.
So how do MFA and SSO work?
MFA is an authentication method that requires a user to combine something they know (a password) with something they have (a unique code delivered via text or email, or a push notification to a mobile device). Once MFA is in place, businesses can then implement SSO to streamline the login process by using a centralized app or login process to access all business applications.
Best of all, MFA and SSO can strengthen your business' safety and security by establishing added layers of protection around networks and data while managing access rights for all users. MFA also helps to prevent further cybersecurity problems by eliminating the threat that compromised passwords pose to individual users and companies.
That's because weak or stolen passwords are particularly attractive to cybercriminals. Once a password has been stolen or hacked, bad actors can infiltrate entire systems—installing malicious code, redirecting users to illegitimate sites, seizing personal information, and demanding a ransom for its return.
Why should you take login security seriously?
Password requirements come in a multitude of shapes and sizes, and the adoption of SSO and MFA tools must evolve with cybersecurity trends. Right now, passwords are reused far too much—on average, the same password is used across five different accounts. That means that if hackers do steal a password, it can be tested across multiple platforms, exponentially amplifying the impact of a single compromise.
Businesses haven't adopted SSO and MFA quickly enough to keep up, either. Microsoft estimates that only 11% of its enterprise accounts use MFA, and many employees are initially hesitant to embrace the sign-on method, which can seem unwieldy at first because of the need to coordinate a unique code delivered via text, email, or mobile device push notification with an existing username and password.
But stronger passwords and the adoption of SSO and MFA can make a difference—especially if you partner with an IT provider that takes cybersecurity seriously. With nearly 25 years of experience working with clients across North America, CMIT Solutions understands the evolving nature of security issues related to identity protection and data access.
An investment in enterprise-grade SSO and MFA is an investment in your company's future. Want to find out how? Contact CMIT Solutions now to secure your information, streamline user access, and empower your employees. Don't wait for a data breach or cybersecurity issue to implement single sign-on and multi-factor authentication.

Q: How to show that $U = \{u \in \mathcal{L}(E) \mid u + \operatorname{id} \in \operatorname{Isom}(E) \}$ is open?
Let $E$ be a Banach space, and $\operatorname{Isom}(E)$ the set of continuous bijections from $E$ to $E$. We define the set $U$ as:
  $$U =  \{u \in \mathcal{L}(E) \mid u + \operatorname{id} \in \operatorname{Isom}(E) \} $$
  Show that $U$ is open.

I attempted two methods, and in both of them I get stuck.
My first instinct was to try to show that the complementary is closed, but by looking at the complementary of the set. In this case we would have:
$$ \mathcal{L}(E) - U = \{u \in \mathcal{L}(E) \mid u + \operatorname{id} \not \in \operatorname{Isom}(E) \} .$$
But it doesn't seem to be easy to show that it's closed.
Secondly, I could show that for any element $x \in U$ there exists $r >0$ such that the open ball $B(x,r) \subset U$. But I am unable to come up with a potential candidate for $r$.
Any help would be highly appreciated.

A: As mentioned by Daniel Schepler in the comments, an important step is to show that if $\|u\|<1$, then $u+1$ is invertible.  You should try to show this, but if you are unable almost every book on operator theory should contain a proof.
From here, suppose $u\in U$.  Then $u+1$ is invertible (with bounded inverse by the open mapping theorem).  If $v\in\mathcal L(E)$  and $\|u-v\|<\|(u+1)^{-1}\|^{-1}$, then
$$\|1-(u+1)^{-1}(v+1)\|\leq\|(u+1)^{-1}\|\|u-v\|<1,$$
so $(u+1)^{-1}(v+1)$ is invertible, so $v+1$ is invertble and thus $v\in U$.  Thus $B(u,\varepsilon_u)\subset U$ (where $\varepsilon_u=\|(u+1)^{-1}\|^{-1}$), and therefore $U$ is open.


Thank you for all of the great advice. I had my appointment today and my ENT suspects it to be either a salivary stone or a tumor. He doesn't think it's torus palatinus how sudden it appeared, and the location that it is in.
I'm set up for an MRI Thursday morning. I wanted to ask, how does an MRI differ from a CT scan? Also, would the MRI be enough to properly diagnose it, or should I push for a biopsy as well?

I'm going to be praying for a salivary stone! It's great that he didn't immediately say it was cancer.
The difference between an MRI and a CT scan? My understanding is that the MRI uses magnetic fields and radio frequency whereas the CT scan uses x-rays. If the radiologists suspect anything he will request a biopsy (or at least state in his report enough information to where your doctor will know to order one). If not, and if it makes you feel better, I would go ahead and request the biopsy yourself.
I know when my oncologist is looking for cancer in me, she always orders a PET scan!
Time to start asking your doctor these questions.
Hope the studies are going well!
Only a biopsy will tell the doc exactly what the tumor is made up of. Taking a tiny sample of tissue directly from the tumor will give much more info than any kind of scan which is pretty much an enhanced photo.
Since Im not a medical professional, my understanding is very limited about all the different scans. From what I know, a CT is very quick pic and works best for bones while MRIs are best for muscles (soft tissue). MRIs take much longer (around 45-50 minutes) than CTs and may have contrast (dye) added for even greater clarity.
Hopefully whatever you have going on is not cancerous! Please let us know how you make out. Good luck!!!
I had to cancel my MRI. I pushed for a biopsy because it would take forever to reschedule an MRI, wait for the MRI results, then schedule for a biopsy, then wait for those results. I have sinus surgery in four weeks so I am trying to speed up the process. I was sent in a whirlwind trying to schedule a biopsy with cytology and pathology, but was told that they can't biopsy the roof of my mouth for some reason.
So now my doctor is offering to surgically remove the lump for me. I feel that might be the quickest and most direct course of action to figure out the nature of what is growing on the roof of my mouth. I assume/hope he will send it to testing. More updates to come.
I was hoping you would post an update. I guess I'm not sure why they can't biopsy the growth on the roof of your mouth either...interesting.
If it was me, and knowing that this spot has been bothering you, I would first find out what is all involved for your doctor to remove it and will there be any side effects. Then I would have it removed!
I don't believe I've asked this but have you gone for a second or third opinion? That was one thing I made sure I did - especially since doctors can have different opinions. Just a thought if you haven't already done so.
I have an appointment with the doctor to discuss the surgery next Monday! It's frustrating because his secretaries wont let me speak to him; I have to make an actual appointment to have a conversation with him and it slows down the process.
I really wanted to get multiple opinions, but this lump appeared at the least convenient time. The bureaucracy of healthcare makes things incredibly slow and I have another operation lined up after I get this lump removed.
See.... I broke my nose 8 years ago, had an unsuccessful operation to fix it 4 years ago, and scheduled another (and hopefully final) nose operation that is taking place in December with a top surgeon near my hometown. I've had this booked for nearly a year and would hate to cancel. I'm away for college and the operation is taking place around Christmas when I go home, so I'm on a tight schedule.
On one hand, I'd love to breathe again. On the other, if this is cancer in my hard palate, there is a chance that it is also in my sinus cavity. I need this lump tested as soon as possible - if a needle biopsy isn't possible for some weird reason, then I guess I have no choice but to have it cut out, considering my time constraints.
Just discovered a tender, swollen lymph node in my right armpit... about the diameter of a penny. Anything to get worked up about?
Just the other day I found a similar spot under my left arm. I waited a few days to call my Oncologist to see if it would go away by itself - well, it didn't. I called Mayo and she thought it was cellulitis and prescribed an anti-inflammatory along with an antibiotic. Within three days it started to drain (a substantial amount), which leads me to believe it was an abscess. I see my Oncologist tomorrow and will know more after she looks at it.
I would let your doctor know what you've found and then I would just keep a really close eye on it.
How are you doing, ever find out what caused your swollen lymph node/abscess?
Mine turned out to be from a virus which was awful and long-lasting so I took some antibiotics.
I had an MRI, nothing came back odd but my doctor wanted to move forward with the surgical biopsy just to be sure. I was knocked out with anesthesia for a couple of hours. The operation wasn't too bad, much easier than having wisdom teeth removed. Still not sure why they couldn't just fine-needle biopsy it, but it is what it is.
I'll find out what the lump is on Monday! The entire left side of my hard palate is 100% numb as of 15 hours post-op, which has me concerned because my speech is ever so slightly off now.

Die IPRT – Fachtagung für digitale Datenübertragung im Amateurfunk war eine jährlich wiederkehrende Amateurfunkveranstaltung in Darmstadt, die mit einem Vortragsprogramm zu Themen aus dem Bereich der digitalen Amateurfunkbetriebsarten die Weiterentwicklung in diesem Sektor vorangetrieben hat.

Geschichte
Mit dem Aufkommen der Betriebsart Packet Radio entstand der zunehmende Bedarf eines Erfahrungsaustausches zu dieser neuen Betriebsart. Dazu wurde 1984 in Frankfurt zum ersten Mal die Packet-Radio-Tagung von der Rhein-Main-Packet-Radio-Interessengruppe, einem losen Zusammenschluss von Funkamateuren, die von dieser neuen Betriebsart begeistert waren, veranstaltet.

Nachdem der Veranstaltungsort in Frankfurt dem zunehmenden Besucherandrang nicht mehr gerecht werden konnte, wechselte der Tagungsort nach Darmstadt. Hier konnte die Amateurfunkgruppe der Technischen Universität Darmstadt AFTHD Hörsäle im Hans-Busch-Institut der TU Darmstadt erhalten.

Die große Begeisterung, mit der die Funkamateure die Betriebsart Packet Radio aufnahmen, führte Ende der 80er und Anfang der 90er Jahre zu einem schnell wachsenden Datenfunknetz im Amateurfunk. Von dieser Entwicklung profitierte auch die Packet-Radio-Tagung, die in dieser Zeit zweitägig stattfand. Eine starke Beteiligung von Funkamateuren aus dem benachbarten Ausland führte dazu, dass man fortan von der Internationalen Packet-Radio-Tagung sprach. Seit Ende der 90er Jahre hat jedoch eine Stagnation beim Aufbau des Packet-Radio-Netzes eingesetzt, was sich auch auf die IPRT niederschlug. Seit 2001 findet die IPRT nur noch an einem Tag statt.

2006 nannten die Organisatoren die Veranstaltung in IPRT – Fachtagung für digitale Datenübertragung im Amateurfunk um. Damit bringen sie zum Ausdruck, dass sich das Themengebiet der Tagung nicht nur auf die Betriebsart Packet Radio beschränkt, sondern alle Bereiche digitaler Datenübertragung im Amateurfunk umfasst. 2012 wurde die Tagung, bedingt durch den Umbau des Hans-Busch-Institutes, in den großen Hörsaal des Alten Hauptgebäudes der TU Darmstadt verlegt, wo sie auch 2013 abgehalten wurde.

Die IPRT fand immer am Samstag des ersten Aprilwochenendes im Hauptgebäude der TU Darmstadt statt. Abweichungen davon waren möglich, wenn der Termin mit dem Osterwochenende kollidiert. So fand die 23. IPRT im Jahr 2007 bereits am 31. März statt.

Organisiert wurde die Tagung von:

 DARC e.V. Distrikt Hessen
 Rhein Main Packet Radio Gruppe
 Adacom Fachverband für Amateur-Datenfunk e. V.
 Arbeitsgemeinschaft der Funkamateure an der TU Darmstadt AFTHD

Während der Tagung fand parallel in zwei Hörsälen ein Vortragsprogramm statt, das in den letzten Jahren meist mit einer Diskussionsveranstaltung zu aktuellen Themen abgeschlossen wurde. Vortragsthemen der letzten Jahre waren:

 Packet Radio Netzapplikationen
 Aktuelle Datenfunk-/Transceiverentwicklungen
 Amateurfunk-Funkruf
 Digital ATV
 APRS
 Linkstreckenplanung
 Datenfunk auf Kurzwelle (PACTOR)
 Planung und Informationsaustausch zum HAMNET
 Digitale verbale Betriebsarten (D-STAR, APCO P25, DMR)

Seit 2014 wurde die IPRT nicht mehr veranstaltet. 2015 wurde daraufhin zum ersten Mal die HAMNET-Tagung ausgerichtet, die sich mit ähnlichen Themen wie die IPRT beschäftigt.
