Cleveland Fed president Loretta Mester predicts smaller rate hike for December
Cleveland Fed President Loretta Mester said the Federal Reserve could transition to smaller interest rate hikes beginning next month as it fine-tunes its policy moves to help bring down excessive inflation while keeping the economy going.
According to the New York Post, the Fed increased interest rates earlier this month by 75 basis points for the fourth consecutive meeting. However, since then, a steady stream of policymakers have indicated that they anticipate switching to smaller increases in borrowing costs going forward to give the economy time to adjust to the quickest tightening of monetary policy in 40 years.
Mester stated, "I think we can slow down from the 75 at the next meeting. I don't have a problem with that, I do think that's very appropriate. But I do think we're going to have to let the economy tell us going forward what pace we have to be at." Mester also noted that the Fed is currently in a more "deliberate" and "judicious" phase of determining its next course of action as it assesses whether recent encouraging inflationary signs mark the beginning of sustained improvement back toward the central bank's 2% goal.
However, she cautioned that the Fed should be ready to act if price pressures do not sufficiently abate. She explained, "Right now my forecast is that we're going to see some real, good progress on inflation next year. We won't be back to 2%, but we'll see some meaningful progress next year. But if we don't see that, then we're going to have to make sure our policy really reacts to the incoming information. So I can't tell you today what the path going forward will be."
The benchmark overnight lending rate set by the central bank is currently within a target range of 3.75%-4%. Most investors anticipate that the Fed will raise rates by 50 basis points at its upcoming policy meeting on December 13 and 14.

When you're on the go as much as me, it's best to try and bring your own food as much as possible. I like packing my own lunches which means I prep my food in advance so I can take it with me to work. I don't meal prep for an entire week. I just go along with the flow and stock up whenever possible, so I always have some quick and easy foods on hand. Here's how I meal prep.
Meal prepping starts with grocery shopping. I only go to my supermarket once a week. Yep, just the one time. And that's when I buy all the foods I need. I just make a list and think of what meals to make and eat throughout the week. From main meals to snacks. There's a few items I will always buy and there are a few items that I change up from time to time. But in any case, my meal prepping starts by planning out what I want to buy and thus eat.
If you think that means I spend a lot of time in the kitchen… Think again! On average I am in my kitchen once a week preparing foods. That is when I prep a main meal. If it's a salad I will have it for the next few days as it's perishable and so it only lasts so long. However, cooked meals, I make in bulk and store in my freezer. For most nights I will have something quick and easy. Since I eat salads, smoothies or hot meals for lunch, I don't require much of anything by the time I get home meaning that some crisp bread might suffice for dinner.
When bringing foods along with you, it is essential that you keep them in sturdy, easy to clean containers that protect your foods from leaking, spilling and spoiling. Most containers I use, are mostly plastic free. Yes, I lug around smoothies in a glass jar, drink water from a stainless steel water bottle and eat salads and hot meals from a microwave safe glass container. I even have a little weck jar for having foods like yoghurt on the go. It may seem like a bit much, but it keeps foods so much better than plastics and the best part: it is much easier to clean as well! I showed you my on the go food containers in this blog post.
Preparing snacks doesn't have to cost you much time and effort. Sure, I went through a phase where I thought I'd have to bake nothing but 'healthy' goodies for me to bring along, whereas you could just make life a lot easier by bringing foods that are easy to pack. Apples and pears are great on the go snacks as they can pretty much be chucked into a bag. I also like to bring some veggies to snack on as well. I just give them a good wash and when you bring a small knife, you won't even have to bother cutting them up beforehand!
No time to cook? When you meal prep, all you have to do is reach into your freezer. No time to prepare lunch: have all the ingredients for a smoothie ready to go and all you have to do is toss things in a blender and let is spin for a few minutes. Need a protein kick before a work out? Try some precooked falafel balls that can be fried up in 5 minutes. Raw foods make great, easy snacks, as does a jar of peanut butter for satisfying that semi-sweet tooth. All you have to be is be a bit smart and put some thought in what you store in your cupboards. And that way you can still eat delicious foods, while not spending hours in the kitchen.


We work with your hair's personality, not against it. With our expertise, we determine your hair's texture, the way it wants to lay, the way it wants to move, and then cut it to give it a new attitude. As hair evolves, what was once classic is now trend and what was trend becomes classic. After an epidemic of ultra-straight hair, which is now classic, texture is working its way back in. You may achieve this through curling, crimping, cutting, texturing, and finishing techniques. Whichever way you go, having options is still the order of the day. A cut from Bryant Salon & Spa gives you these options.
Color compliments a great cut. What color can do for you: color should add shape to your cut, suit the movement of your hair, and match the tone of your skin. It can even add texture.

Royce White critical of how Rockets handled his mental health situation
By danecarbaughMar 20, 2018, 10:15 PM EDT
Royce White had an NBA story that was up-and-down, and complex. White, drafted by the Houston Rockets 16th overall in the 2012 NBA Draft, has a well-documented anxiety condition that disallowed him from flying with the team to games.
Things didn't work out in Houston, and the last time White was in the NBA was during the 2013-14 season. He played a total of nine minutes in three games for the Sacramento Kings, and then White's career was over.
Now, with the sudden influx of players making public their owns struggles with mental health — DeMar DeRozan and Kevin Love most recently — White has suddenly been thrust back into the conversation. While Ron Artest might be one of the first players of the modern era to openly speak about mental health, White is the go-to guy for comparative statements these days.
And, what White has to say isn't all that great for the NBA or the Houston Rockets.
Speaking to Yahoo! Sports' Dan Devine, White said recently that he doesn't believe the NBA truly cares about mental health just yet. Even further, White said he felt the Rockets and GM Daryl Morey were trying to guard themselves from a liability standpoint when the player and the team negotiated a deal to try to make things work with the Rockets.
Via Yahoo! Sports:
White says that Rockets personnel told him in 2012 that establishing a comprehensive written plan for managing his anxiety disorder would be "impossible," because doing so would set a precedent "for any league-wide issue regarding mental health." He says that, after negotiating with the Rockets and the NBA over allowing White to take a bus to certain games to reduce the number of flights he'd have to take in a season — a compromise he was told the league initially rejected because it would constitute an illegal circumvention of the salary cap — Houston deactivated him for the first preseason game he took a bus to, as a punishment for pressing the issue.
White says that, in a later meeting in which he and a team of medical professionals planned to present a draft of a mental health policy to be added to his contract, Houston general manager Daryl Morey said he didn't know that White suffered from generalized anxiety disorder before drafting him.
It also made him feel like the Rockets might be trying to set up a way to void his guaranteed contract if he didn't comply with their requirements.
"[Morey] was in a mode where he thought that he could bully me," White said.
According to Devine, White also says he doesn't think the most recent stories of mental health awareness will be the triggering factor in a new wave for the league. "White expressed skepticism that revelations by DeRozan, Kevin Love, Kelly Oubre and others would really lead to a sea change in the way the NBA addresses issues of mental health," wrote Devine.


Gears 5 Download is the fifth continuation of the popular cycle of shooters, where the fourth part takes care of the Studio The Coalition (previously custody of the series was the company Epic Games). Like its predecessor, the name appeared, among other things, on the platform, XONE and PC.
Action Gears of War 5 takes place after the events set out in the fourth part of the series. In the main role was planted Kite Diaz, who in the company of Delmont Walker goes on a long journey through the picturesque, but also full of dangers corners of the planet cheese. The Protagonistka is going to learn more about the origin of Locusts (Locust.) and discover the source interfere with her nightmares, which, I believe, lies a message.
In published on the platform, XONE and PC Gears 5 Download we observe a third party action (TPP). During the game we visit a variety of sites – from the desert zone, flooded ruins, to the surface of a huge glacier. Once again, the main component of the gameplay are clashes with opponents (we are talking about ordinary opponents, as well as powerful bosses), which we eliminate with the help of an extensive Arsenal of weapons and gadgets; in their course is as important as the skillful juggling of existing weapons – is the use of a system of shields.
Pillar Gears of War 5 campaign is a role-playing game that can be played either alone or in co-op mode with another player (via the Internet or on a split screen). In addition, the name has a multiplayer module based on competition.
Gears of War 5 uses Unreal Engine 4 technology and properly uses its capabilities. Three-dimensional graphics of this production shows high quality, and in addition, the game runs on the Xbox one X and, accordingly, powerful computers with a resolution of 4K and sixty frames per second.

Misja "sui iuris" Turkmenistanu (łac. Mission "sui iuris" Turcmenistanianus; ros. Миссия "sui iuris" Туркменистан) – samodzielna jednostka terytorialna dla katolików obrządku łacińskiego oraz jednostka podziału administracyjnego Kościoła katolickiego w Turkmenistanie, obejmująca swoim zasięgiem cały kraj. Utworzona 29 września 1997 przez Jana Pawła II. Siedziba superiora znajduje się w kaplicy nuncjatury apostolskiej w Aszchabadzie.

Historia
W XIX wieku na teren obecnego Turkmenistanu zaczęli przybywać katolicy, głównie za sprawą deportacji z innych stron Imperium Rosyjskiego, w tym Polski i Litwy. Na początku XX wieku była to już liczna grupa (ok. 5 tysięcy), która posiadała parafię w Aszchabadzie i kilka kaplic w: Krasnowodzku, Czardżou, Mary i Kyzył Arwat.

Po przejęciu władzy przez komunistów i utworzeniu Związku Radzieckiego rozpoczęły się prześladowania katolików, którym wkrótce odebrano ich miejsca kultu. Kościół zmuszony był zejść do podziemia na kilkadziesiąt lat, aż do upadku ZSRR w 1991 roku. Turkmenistan został podporządkowany administraturze apostolskiej w Kazachstanie.

Dnia 10 lipca 1996 Stolica Apostolska nawiązała oficjalne stosunki dyplomatyczne z Turkmenistanem, co umożliwiło budowę własnej hierarchii kościelnej w tym kraju. W czerwcu 1997 abp Pier Luigi Celata – nuncjusz apostolski w Turcji, złożył listy uwierzytelniające władzom Turkmenistanu. Droga do przyjazdu misjonarzy tym samym została otwarta.

29 września 1997 papież Jan Paweł II wydzielił Turkmenistan z jej struktur, jako odrębną Misję "sui iuris".

Kościół katolicki w Turkmenistanie został zarejestrowany dopiero 12 marca 2010.

Satellite study finds significant glacial ice loss across the globe
By Adam Redling on May 20, 2013
A new study led by Clark University suggests that although 99 percent of the Earth's land ice is concentrated in the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets, the remaining 1 percent of ice in the world's glaciers contributed just as much to global sea rise as the two ice sheets combined from 2003 to 2009, the University of Colorado Boulder has reported.
Researchers compared ground measurements to data from NASA's ICESat satellite and GRACE spacecrafts to estimate ice loss in the world's glaciers.
The research showed that all glacial regions lost mass from 2003 to 2009. The biggest losses occurred in Arctic Canada, Alaska, coastal Greenland and the southern Andes and Himalayan mountain ranges.

I really want a dog. Properly, desperately and, in the proclamations of Mr Darcy, ardently dream of dog ownership, but until I'm in a position to have one, I must live vicariously through instagram stories, tweets and cuddles of other people's pooches, and of course gorgeous picture books like this one, 100 Dogs, written and illustrated by Michael Whaite and published by Penguin Random House.
I firstly would like to state that I am aware of some of the upset surrounding this book and its representation of certain dog breeds. I understand that owners may feel upset at the contents of the book, but I advise anyone reading ANY children's picture book to use it as an initial discussion point about the contents. I do not believe in censorship and I most certainly do not endorse any kind of hate mob, which is not showing the (lovely) breed of dog in question in any better a light. I stand by my review, I love this book, I love AlL dogs and I let you make your own mind up.
In 100 Dogs Michael Whaite takes us on a journey through every dog you can possibly imagine, it's an absolute joy for me if I'm completely honest. We have every breed of dog, every situation and every emotion covered here and there really are 100 dogs in this book. I counted them all. Well I actually counted 101, but that's a potential clerical error on my part!
Michael's illustrations in this fabulous book are truly joyous! He's captured every single breed of dog, pedigree and mixed with all their unique looks, my particular favourite being the muddy springer spaniel with his eager "ready to go again boss" look! Alongside the dogs are little details to give that all important re-readability factor and added interest. The expression on the dogs faces will help children start to recognise emotions and different feelings, an important very first step in empathy and emotional intelligence. This is clearly a man who knows his dogs and has thoroughly enjoyed every moment of illustrating them. I love that.
The illustrations are spectacularly adorable, but, another stand out aspect of this picture book is the writing style. I recently watched a most glorious instagram story by my blogger friend Bookbairn (do visit her blog http://www.bookbairn.com) showing her little girl read this book out loud so brilliantly and it absolutely summed it up for me. This is a fun sing-song, rhythmic and entertaining journey. It's a great story for young children to kick start their reading skills, containing short sharp song-like sentences and illustrations which give context and help support children when they struggle with a word or two. Clever and well thought out book right here.
100 Dogs is just a hugely enjoyable celebration of dogs and all that we love about them. I've read this, I intend to read it again for my next storytime session, and yes, I do still, very much, want a dog!
100 Dogs is now available from all good book shops and libraries.
Thank you Penguin for sending me a copy of 100 Dogs and thank you for reading this unleashed Book Monsters review.


Finally someone made a small documentary about circuit bending, here it is, enjoy!

Last year I wrote this blog post where I described a couple of ways on how to tackle routing with Express. In the mean while I moved on from the "Plain Old School" approach to an approach where I replaced underscore.js with node-require-directory.
Here we simple reference the index.js module. The node-require-directory module takes care of building up a tree of functions which we can now access for our route registrations. Adding a new route is as simple as creating a new module somewhere inside the routes folder or one of its subfolders and creating a new route registration. Have a look at this example.
I found this little gem to be quite useful and it might be helpful for some of you as well.

It was a lonnng drive on a dusty red dirt road, on a hot sunny day, so I was a bit skeptical of what we'd find when we got there.
But, my goodness, when we pulled up and saw this gorgeous never-ending field of sunflowers? It instantly made my heart smile, and made the long trip ohhhh so worth it.
Standing there, in the middle of that quiet gorgeous field, I was reminded about how important it is to stop, quiet the chaos around you, and truly embrace the beauty of nature. Even if you only do it once in a while? It can truly be a restorative and healing process, and soooo good for the soul..
Click the image below to watch one of my fave quotes from that movie!
What do you think of this article, Fashionistas?
Have YOU taken time out to smell the flowers lately?
Sound off in the comments below. Would love to hear what you think of this look!

How would YOU rock it, Fashionista?
In love w/this beautiful dress from StitchFix!
How are you handling with this summer weather? We've been experiencing a true heatwave here in Denver- with daily temps in the mid-90s- and this is my first time experiencing Colorado's sizzling hot summer temperatures.
I won't complain, though, I LOVE the heat, especially when I have a cool & breezy dress to wear, like this 'Le Lis' Dress that just came in my latest StitchFix box!
I've been determined to wear more color this season, and this dress is just perfect.
and pretty much fell in love with it the minute I pulled it out of the box!
And, the back length accentuates my curves!
and wish I could buy it in several more colors.

Tiffany Haddish Cancels Atlanta Show Over Georgia's Abortion Law
June 18, 2019	Entertainment Daypop
Comedian Tiffany Haddish cancelled her June 22 show in Atlanta in protest over Georgia's controversial new abortion law. The "heartbeat" abortion law bans the procedure as soon as a doctor can detect fetal cardiac activity, which typically happens about six weeks into a pregnancy.
"After much deliberation, I am postponing my upcoming show in Atlanta," Haddish said in a statement. "I love the state of Georgia, but I need to stand with women and until they withdraw Measure HB481, I cannot in good faith perform there." Haddish was scheduled to perform at the Fox Theatre in Atlanta. The venue offered refunds to anyone who bought tickets to the show.

Stan Lewis (@gashcrumb), Principal Software Engineer at Red Hat will be speaking at DevNation.
What sessions are you giving at DevNation ?
I'm giving two sessions, on Monday in the Fuse track it'll be "Inspecting JVMs with hawtio" even though it's currently showing up in the schedule as "Extending hawtio", that's just some placeholder text. And then on Wednesday I'm doing "hawtio: the extensible console for managing your Java stuff". I've basically been thinking the Monday session is kind of an intro to hawtio and the Wednesday session would be a deeper dive.
What are key takeaways from your session ?
"Inspecting JVMs with hawtio" is meant to be an intro to the hawtio project and how it relates to the Fuse Management Console. We'll go over how hawtio can be used to inspect a JVM and how to connect to different JVMs. We'll also take a look at managing an instance of fabric8.
What do you find most exciting about DevNation ?
What sessions are you looking forward to attend ?
Do you want to learn more about how to use hawtio to manage your server and stay cool ?

World Bank to Introduce Open Access Policy
The World Bank has announced today that it is introducing an Open Access (OA) policy. This will mandate that World Bank research outputs and knowledge products are deposited in a newly-created institutional repository called the Open Knowledge Repository (OKR), which will be freely accessible on the Internet.
In addition, the Bank will become the first major international organisation to make much of its research output available under Creative Commons licensing. As a result, any user in the world will be able to read, download, save, copy, print, reuse and link to the full text of the World Bank's work, free of charge.
The new policy — effective July 1st — will cover monographs (i.e., books, reports, etc.), externally-published sections or chapters of books written by Bank staff, working papers, journal articles, economic and sector work, plus associated datasets.
The World Bank is an international financial institution that provides loans to developing countries for capital programs. Its official goal is to reduce poverty and support development.
Back in the driving seat
The precise details of the Bank's policy will depend on whether the work in question has been published by the Bank itself, or by an external publisher.
For work published by the Bank, electronic copies of complete, final manuscripts that have been approved for release to the public on or after July 1, 2012, as well as the associated metadata, will be immediately deposited in OKR.
These works will be made available under the most liberal Creative Commons licence, the Creative Commons Attribution ("CC BY") copyright license, which places no restrictions on its use except proper attribution.
Where an external publisher is responsible for publishing the work, the policy will require that the final word-processed version of the text is submitted to the OKR upon acceptance of the manuscript for publication. The work will then become immediately available to Bank staff, but released to the public only after the publisher's embargo has elapsed.
As such, the policy recognises that most publishers currently insist on an embargo period (a.k.a. delayed open access) before any work they have published can be made publicly available in an institutional repository.
After the respective publisher's embargo elapses, externally published works will be made available free of charge to all under a Creative Commons Non-Commercial, No-Derivatives ("CC NC ND") license, unless the publisher accepts the use of a more liberal license.
The mandate will also apply to the Bank's own two journals — World Bank Research Observer (WBRO) and World Bank Economic Review (WBER), which are currently published by Oxford University Press (OUP) under third-party publisher agreements. Here too, the publisher's embargo will be respected.
We should note that OUP currently has one of the more restrictive self-archiving policies, and imposes a lengthy embargo period of 18 months. Perhaps for this reason, although the Bank will not (like the Public Access Policy of the National Institutes of Health) itself prescribe an embargo period, it has stressed that it "expects the amount of time it takes for externally published Bank content to be included in its institutional repository to diminish over time".
Critics will doubtless point out that to only provide free availability 18 months after publication is not to provide open access, certainly as it is understood by those OA advocates who define OA as "free, immediate, permanent online access to the full text of research articles". See also here.
Nevertheless, the Bank's OA policy will be a powerful new signal to publishers that times are changing, and content creators intend to get back into the driving seat when it comes to deciding when and how work they create is made available to the public. And experience shows that achieving OA has to be viewed as a brick-by-brick process.
As evidence of the latter point, we could note that the Bank's new policy does not come out of the blue, but builds on its on-going Open Development Agenda. This includes two earlier initiatives, the Open Data Initiative and the Access to Information Policy.
Introduced in April 2010, the Open Data Initiative ended the Bank's practice of selling its World Development Indicators data, when it made its more than 7,000 development indicators — along with more than 60 other datasets — freely available on its web site.
The Access to Information Policy, introduced in July 2010, transformed the way in which the Bank makes it data available to the public, and saw the release of more than 17,000 historical documents from its archives.
As a next logical step, the Bank's OA policy will provide a number of important new benefits. By creating a single, searchable database of all its information, for instance, the Bank will make it easier for users to locate and access the data they need.
Moreover, the OKR is OAI compliant, so it will be interoperable with other repositories. Amongst other things, this will enable OKR data to be "harvested" and made available through third-party services like RePEc (Research Papers in Economics) and Google Scholar. This will see the Bank's content potentially becoming accessible to many more people.
Further, by requiring that Bank-generated content published by external publishers is deposited in OKR the new policy will ensure that work previously locked behind subscription paywalls will become freely available. (The World Bank eLibrary, however, will remain a subscription-based product for librarians, researchers and heavy users of bank research products).
Importantly, by using Creative Commons licensing the Bank will make it possible for anyone to distribute, reuse, and build upon its published work, even (in most cases) commercially, so long as the Bank is credited for the original creation.
Commenting on today's announcement World Bank Group President Robert B. Zoellick said, "Knowledge is power. Making our knowledge widely and readily available will empower others to come up with solutions to the world's toughest problems. Our new Open Access policy is the natural evolution for a World Bank that is opening up more and more."
Significant for three reasons
OKR is, in fact, already live, and currently contains more than 2,100 books and papers (from 2009-2012) across a wide range of topics and all regions of the world. This includes the World Development Report, other World Bank annual flagship publications, academic books, practitioner volumes, and the Bank's publicly disclosed country studies and analytical reports. In addition, articles published in WBRO and WBER between 2007-2010 are also now freely available in OKR.
OA advocates have welcomed the development. "Today's announcement is significant for three reasons," explains Peter Suber, director of the Harvard Open Access Project. "First, the World Bank is following up on its open data policy of April 2010. Its experience with open data led it to commit even further to open research, not to retreat.
"Second, the Bank made itself a leader, along with other institutions like the Research Councils UK and the Wellcome Trust, in moving beyond gratis OA mandates, which make work free of charge, to libre OA mandates, which make work free of charge and free for reuse under open licenses."
He adds, "Libre OA mandates were very rare as recently as last year. While the RCUK and Wellcome Trust have announced plans to strengthen their existing policies from gratis to libre OA, the World Bank is now the first major international organization to have actually adopted a libre mandate.
"Finally," Suber concludes, "this policy applies to a major body of research on poverty and development. If there is one area where we would all want to maximize the impact and utility of research, it is the area covered by the World Bank."
I hope in the near future to explore the Bank's OA strategy more fully in an interview with its publisher Carlos Rossel. [This interview can now be read here].

Let us accept the fact that clothes look good on well framed shoulders, a slim waistline with an upright posture. Therefore, to have a wedding- ready body, a healthy balanced diet and a fitness plan is essential to tone your body. Along with this, a smart skin care routine followed much in advance will give you a glowing skin on your wedding. This could include timely facials, using skin specific moisturizer, having lots of water, sleeping enough especially closer to your wedding to avoid puffy eyes.
Now comes the wedding outfit, which is the hottest topic of discussion. Do consider your body shape, complexion, design, season, fabric and the latest trend while you choose one for yourself. Ensure the shape of the outfit should flatter your body type and be comfortable when you walk, sit and bend. If you are bottom-heavy, choose simple and straight cuts and and if you are fortunate to have the hour-glass shape, select any dress keeping in mind your height and skin tone. If you have a lean frame, select a dress made of tissue to give you a fuller look and if you are heavy on all sides, avoid pleats or flares, bold prints, heavy accessories and opt for a single coloured outfit. Also, identify your skin tone and choose a wedding dress colour that suits your complexion. If you are fair, stick to dark and rich colours wheas if you have a brown undertone, wear warm colours like shades of orange, gold and brown. And, if you have a dark undertone, wear pale colours such as shades of yellow and blue.
After you have finalised on your wedding dress, pick the design of the neckline which best suits your face shape and bust line. Now get your jewellery designed accordingly to draw the right attention.
Since you are most-photographed on your wedding day and these photos are going to be on display for many years, avoid the common makeup mishaps like skipping body makeup or not waterproofing your makeup. Do not experiment something new or get caught in beauty trends, just pick up products that will keep you cool no matter how much the temperature rises.
Remember it is an art to assemble that perfect wedding look which makes you feel like a princesses. Do not settle unless you look like one.

Q: Cannot Set Variable in Bash I'm trying to set a variable in bash:
b=$(p | cut -d',' -f4)
echo $b

However, I keep ending up with:
p: command not found

I've tried every combination of brackets, curly brackets, and dollar signs but still can't get b to equal $p | cut -d',' -f4. To my understanding, the dollar signs will extract the value from the variable and the brackets are for expression containment. Is there fundamental bash syntax that I'm not aware of?

A: The code below would also work, and would probably be higher performance by avoiding a call to the external program cut and using only the read builtin :
IFS="," read -r dummy dummy dummy b dummy  <<<"$p"
echo "$b"

You could also collect all values in an array, and reference them afterwards
IFS="," read -r -a array <<<"$p"
echo "${array[4]}"              # Print 4th field
echo "${#array[@]}"             # Print field count

In all cases, IFS="," is how you tell read to use commas as field separators, and -r forces backslashes to be used as is, not interpreted (e.g. \n will not be seen as a newline, but rather just as a literal two-character string).
Please note that the examples above only handle strings that do not contain newlines.

A: How about using Bash patterns for this?

*

*With parameter expansions (super portable):
b=${p#*,*,*,}
b=${b%%,*}

*By splitting the comma-separated string and reading only the fourth field (Bash only):
IFS=, read -r -d '' _ _ _ b _ < <(printf '%s,\0' "$p")

*By using a regex (that will also provide some sort of validation, Bash only):
if [[ $p =~ ^[^,]*,[^,]*,[^,]*,([^,]*).*$ ]]; then
    b=${BASH_REMATCH[1]}
else
    echo >&2 "String doesn't match"
fi

*By fully splitting the string into an array (same as point 2 above, Bash only):
IFS=, read -r -d '' -a pary < <(printf '%s,\0' "$p")
b=${pary[3]}

A: Use a here-string to expand the variable value to p to cut instead of using a pipe-line(|) which forks a new sub-shell (avoiding a new process overhead). The <<< is bash specific and not available in the POSIX shell sh.
b=$(cut -d',' -f4 <<<"$p")
echo "$b"

Also double-quote your variables to avoid word-splitting by shell.

A: If p is a variable then try this:
b=$(echo "$p" | cut -d',' -f4)
echo $b

The closest airport is Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. The airport is served by Delta, American Airlines, US Air, United, Northwest, and other airlines.
The Gold Canyon Golf Resort & Spa at Gold Canyon, Arizona, is located in Arizona's Superstition Mountains. The mountains are imbued with mystery and tales of lost gold mines, such as the Lost Dutchman. Plus, the great Apache war chief, Cochise, is reputedly buried somewhere among these mountains.
Two courses designed by Ken Kavanaugh—Dinosaur Mountain and Sidewinder—take golfers deep into the High Sonoran desert where the solitude of the environment verges on the spiritual.
Dinosaur Mountain golf course offers an exhilarating round of golf. The course is one spectacular vista of the Superstition Mountains after another, particularly from the course's signature fourth and fifth holes. Dinosaur Mountain has always been a player's course, but the placement of the tee boxes allows golfers at all levels to enjoy a challenging round.
Dinosaur rated the number one public golf course in Arizona, also ranks high among the most scenic courses in the Southwest.
Gold Canyon's second course, Sidewinder, is noted for a creative design that incorporates the desert landscape. Its panoramic vistas are no less spectacular than those of the Dinosaur Mountain course. This is a course you'll want to play more than once.
The Phoenician, a Luxury Collection Resort, in Scottsdale, Arizona, offers luxury accommodations in a setting of beauty and style. Amenities include 27 holes of championship golf, nine swimming pools, and a tennis garden with 11 lighted courts.

Aside from its magnificent golf course, Legacy Golf Resort in Phoenix offers a range of top-class amenities, including a sparkling pool, deluxe health club, and an endless variety of recreational activities. The resort has 328 luxury, Spanish mission-style guest suites housed in 12 buildings. Each suite features rich wood cabinetry, a full kitchen or kitchenette, a spacious living area, and either a balcony or patio overlooking lush tropical courtyards and spectacular mountain views.
Legacy Golf Resort is located on what was once Dwight B. Heard's 7,500-acre ranch. The resort designers have integrated some of the Heard heritage and Arizona's history in the structures and monuments, giving the 18-hole championship golf course a signature look.
At JW Marriott Camelback Inn Resort & Spa in Scottsdale, Arizona," as with all J.W. Marriott Resorts, nothing is done on a small scale. For golfers, the main attraction is the resort's 36-holes of championship Arizona golf.
A spa, a lavish meeting space for conferences and events, and hotel casitas with traditional Southwestern decor are spread throughout the resort's desert landscape. All the casitas have balconies or patios, and the resort boasts an extensive pool complex ideal for family vacations. This getaway is located minutes from downtown Phoenix.
Boulders Resort & Spa in Scottsdale features two championships, Jay Morrish courses, both designed to make the most of the sweeping panoramic views and to have as little impact as possible on the delicate Sonoran ecosystem. Both courses stretch across a sunny Sonoran Desert landscape. These two grand golf courses make the Boulders Resort & Spa one of Arizona's premier golf resorts.
The Boulders Resort is one of those places where the spectacular scenery is just as much a part of the experience as the opulence of the resort itself. Colossal rock formations and boulders, from which the resort takes its name, are the residue of a cataclysmic geological upheaval more than 12 million years ago that ultimately led to the creation of the Grand Canyon. The Boulders is wild country, unspoiled, quiet, and seemingly as far away from it all as one can get. In actuality, it's just 15 minutes from Scottsdale.
It's a land where tiny critters have to watch for dangerous predators like snakes and raptors; they eke out an existence among the rocks, brush, and giant saguaros. Searching for a wayward drive here is an adventure. The rugged terrain, tight fairways, and the natural hazards that lie just beyond them make for a real golfing challenge, but one that's more positive than punishing. The breathtaking scenery more than makes up for the odd lost ball.
The Sheraton Grand at Wild Horse Pass golf resort in Chandler, Arizona, pulls from Native American influences in the Valley of the Sun. The architecture, design, art, and legends of the Pima and Maricopa tribes are a major feature of this gorgeous resort. Accommodations include 500 culturally themed guestrooms, a spectacular full-service spa called Aji, a riverside swimming pool and waterslide, jogging trails alongside the re-created two-mile Gila River, and the Wild Horse Pass Casino just a short boat or shuttle ride away.
The Whirlwind Golf Club with two championship 18-hole Troon-managed golf courses makes this a special destination for a golf getaway.
The club's Chandler courses are masterpieces developed by Gary Panks that are home to the PGA's Nationwide Insurance Tour and the Gila River Golf Classic held every year in October. Chandler's Cattail and Devil's Claw courses sprawl over 242 acres of rolling terrain, with 92 acres of turfed area and 150 acres of a desert landscape featuring mesquite, cottonwood, and paloverde trees with native saguaros and grasses. Panks' design is considered challenging but fair for players of various handicaps.
Ocotillo Golf Club is a Phil Mickelson golf property in Chandler, Arizona. This premier golf destination offers a country club experience at one of the nation's finest daily-fee facilities.

Case Title CENTER FOR PUBLIC INTEGRITY v. U.S. DEPARTMENT OF STATE et al
Judge Judge John D. Bates
Plaintiff CENTER FOR PUBLIC INTEGRITY
Case Description The Center for Public Integrity submitted FOIA requests to the Department of State for records concerning is Global AIDS Program. The Center also submitted a FOIA request to the Centers for Disease Control for records concerning communications with its Global AIDS Program office. After hearing nothing further from either agency, the Center for Public Integrity filed suit.
Complaint issues: Failure to respond within statutory time limit, Litigation - Attorney's fees
Defendant U.S. DEPARTMENT OF STATE
Defendant U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
Defendant U.S. AGENCY FOR INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT
TERMINATED: 02/24/2006
Opinion/Order [15]
FOIA Project Annotation: Judge John Bates has ruled that the State Department should be granted an Open America stay to allow it to finish responding to seven requests filed by the Center for Public Integrity. The agency had already completed five of the requests and anticipated finishing the sixth in several weeks. To bolster its argument, the agency provided evidence that over the past several years it had taken action to reduce its backlog, but that its FOIA and Privacy Act requests had increased about 50 percent in the past two years, entitling the agency to claim "exceptional circumstances." While the Center agreed the agency had a backlog, it argued that the department had not shown reasonable progress in reducing its current backlog as required by the 1996 EFOIA amendments. Bates noted that "as a general matter, the Court agrees that to the extent an agency is unable to reduce its backlog due to an unpredictable increase in the number of FOIA requests, the 1996 amendments do not disqualify an agency from an Open America stay of proceedings. This is because the amendments link the requirement to demonstrate 'reasonable progress' to those cases where an agency claims exceptional circumstances based on 'predictable agency workload.' The legislative history contemplates that where an agency faces an 'unforeseen' increase in FOIA requests and the request for a stay is not based on a 'routine backlog,' a stay may be justified notwithstanding the lack of a reduction in the backlog." Saying that whether the State Department's situation was "exceptional" was a "close call," Bates sided with the agency, noting that "on the whole, weighing the increase in the number of FOIA requests for the two most recent fiscal years and also the unforeseen increase in [the information staff's] other information access duties, including the increase in Privacy Act requests, requests from Congress, and declassification review duties, the Court concludes that the increase in the workload was not 'predictable,' and thus, that the 'reasonable progress' requirement does not apply here." Bates agreed that it was reasonable to look at backlog reduction over a period of years, but he noted that "the problem with the Department's approach, however, is that it potentially allows the agency to claim 'reasonable progress' as long as its backlog remains below peak levels, giving the agency little incentive to avoid backsliding. It would be anomalous to incorporate a loophole into the reasonable process requirement that would create such a disincentive." He added, however, that "although the backlog has increased in the first five months of the current fiscal year, the Court finds that this increase is not, by itself, sufficient to negate the overall progress shown to date."
Issues: Delay - Backlog reduction activities, Delay - Exceptional circumstance

4 facts you need to know about Peruvian Maca
From South America: 4 facts you need to know about Peruvian Maca
A friend of mine asked me: "Is it good to take maca? ..the vendor at the healthy food store said it has a lot of benefits". Even though I practice in South America, I just said the truth: "I don´t know!" and started to look for some evidence. If you -just like me- didn´t know about maca, here you have the facts:
Maca is a root that grows in Perú. Its biological name is Lepidium meyenii and it´s a small turnip-like root that has been cultivated for thousands of years in the Peruvian Andes by the Incas. Now, maca powder is promoted globally by natural products companies as a superfood. There are different types of maca, being yellow, black, and red the most common kinds. Some maca has been imported to China, but it´s believed that Chinese maca is of lower quality. Maca powder contains carbohydrates (65-75%), proteins (9-13%), lipids (0.6-0.9%) and fiber (4-8%, mainly cellulose and lignin). It is high in copper (10 grams of powder equals to 30% of DV) and good source of vitamins C and B6, iron, calcium, potassium and manganese. It also contains trace elements, plant sterols and glucosinolates (compounds believed to have anticancer properties). The main bioactive substance is said to be an alkaloid known as macaridine.
It is promoted as a revitalizing and believed to give a burst of energy, sort of a Latin American ginseng. The most applauded attributes (yet, to be confirmed) of this ancestral root are:
Increases endurance, libido and fertility and improves general hormone balance
Alleviates depression and improves cognitive function
Strengthens the immune system and delays aging of the skin tissue and other organs of the body
It can be taken as a supplement or as a food ingredient: maca products come in a variety of presentations like maca root powder, gelatinized maca, capsules and liquid extracts. Many online companies sell organic and responsible sourced, high quality maca. A pouch with 8 oz of maca powder costs about $10-15. You can also find in health food stores maca powder mixed with other products like organic cocoa. What about dosage? The daily recommendation is 1 to 3 teaspoons of maca powder. It can be added to juices, yogurt, smoothies, soups, salads and baked goods. It has a nutty and earthy taste.
There is some evidence but we need more: a recent doble blind randomized controlled trial evaluated the effects of maca on fertility in healthy adult men. They found that sperm concentration and motility showed rising trends compared to placebo even though levels of hormones did not change significantly after 12 weeks of trial. But, it was a pilot study with a small sample (20 subjets). A similar trial concludes that maca root may alleviate antidepressant-induced sexual dysfunction in postmenopausal women. The mechanism by which maca exerts its aphrodisiac and fertility-enhancing properties is unclear, but might be related to an androgenic mechanism that does not affect hormone levels. A recent narrative review, from Peruvian scientists, suggest that each type of maca has different biological effects, as black maca is more effective in terms of production of sperm, memory, glucose control and physical endurance, while red maca has beneficial effects on benign prostatic hyperplasia and osteoporosis. However, more rigorous clinical studies are needed to confirm maca´s role in metabolism, their benefits and its potential toxicity.
In brief: maca root is an ancient food that can be used as a supplement with potential benefits on general health, mainly stamina and libido, but more data is needed before recommending its general use.

It looks like all of the above is correct to me.Maca is a different herb. I was searching for anything that would help me have more aerobic capacity. But it turned out to be a great help for my sex desire, as well. Definitely a big change. A wonderful thing to purchase.


I am using the app on an iPhone 7. It has been working fine for four months since I installed the app. As of today the app quits as soon as I click the microphone button. The microphone is enabled in settings for Rocket French. Is there a solution to this issue?
I am having the exact same problem. I would also add that in all my many months in Rocket Languages, I have never experience as many tech problems as we have been having recently. Time to get your act together, it's getting tiresome.
With todays update, this problem ended for me, thank you.
I am still having the same problem with an iphone 6. The app continually crashes when doing play it.

To get started, please click one of the three tabs below.
Option #1: Vote Early (Absentee by Mail)
Are you planning on voting absentee? Great! Be sure to request your absentee ballot as far in advance of the election as possible. Remember, you need to make sure there's enough time for you to receive the ballot in the mail, complete it, then return it (either via mail or by dropping it off in-person at a designated drop off location). Your municipal clerk's office must receive your completed absentee ballot no later than 8:00 p.m. on Election Day. But that's cutting it awfully close! So if you're planning to vote by mail, we encourage you to get the process started soon. Click here for more information about how to vote absentee by mail.
If you need to ride the bus to get to your municipal clerk's office or a designated drop-off location, we can help.

You can also get trip planning assistance via phone by calling MCTS Customer Service at 414-937-3218 during business hours (Monday-Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.).
Option #2: Vote Early (Absentee In-Person)
Want to vote in-person but you don't want to wait until Election Day? No problem. Wisconsin voters can vote before Election Day through a process called absentee in-person voting. Every city or municipality has different rules (including locations, dates, and times for early voting). But usually you'll go to your municipal clerk's office or a designated Early Voting location to fill out an absentee ballot and turn it in right away. Head to myvote.wi.gov to find your designated Early Vote location in Milwaukee County.

The image parameter is the url to an image that will be used in the blur process.

This URL must be local to your app, remove images are not supported

Example - GPU Blurred Background

var mod = require('bencoding.blur');

var win = Ti.UI.createWindow({
    backgroundColor:'blue'
});

var imgView = Ti.UI.createImageView({
    height:Ti.UI.FILL, width:Ti.UI.FILL,
});
bgView.add(imgView);

win.addEventListener('open',function(d){

    var img = mod.applyGPUBlurTo({
        image: "42553_m.jpg", type:mod.IOS_BLUR
    });

    imgView.image = img;

    var container = Ti.UI.createView({
        backgroundColor:"#fff", borderRadius:20,
        top:100, height:150, left:40, right:40
    });
    imgView.add(container);
    var label = Ti.UI.createLabel({
        text:"Show how to blur like the yahoo weather app.",
        color:"#000", width:Ti.UI.FILL, height:50, textAlign:"center"
    });
    container.add(label);
});

win.open();


This first in-depth overview to cover all important types of nanostructures being explored for cancer detection brings together the diagnostic side of oncology and nanotechnology. It presents imaging techniques as well as magnetic, metallic and non-metallic particle-based detection systems, showing combination strategies for both diagnosis and treatment. The result is a single source, collecting the valuable information published in specialized journals and thus often difficult to locate for members of the other disciplines involved.
