Ron: DACA debate a "fundamental fight for fairness"
Days before the U.S. Supreme Court heard arguments affecting the fate of more than 700,000 DREAMers nationwide, Ron joined in Eugene with young people who rely on the DACA program and their supporters.
Noting that there are an estimated 10,000-plus DREAMers in Oregon, Ron said at a news conference that the issue before the high court is not merely some academic topic for those young people and their families.
"It's a real and frightening threat that they may be ripped away from their families and the only country they've ever known," he said. "I am proud today and every day to stand up against that threat in what is a fundamental fight for fairness."
The senator said DREAMers he has met throughout Oregon have done everything right, having worked hard, played by the rules, and contributed to their communities in Eugene and nationwide.
Even as the case moves to the Supreme Court, he said Congress should keep its promise to DREAMers for a permanent solution.
The House has passed bipartisan legislation that Ron said Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell should let the Senate make good on considering that pathway to citizenship DREAMers were promised.
Also speaking at the news conference were U.S. Rep. Peter DeFazio; Val Hoyle, state Commissioner of Labor and Industries; Eugene Mayor Lucy Vinis; state Sen. James Manning; David Saez, executive director of Centro Latino Americano; Joel Iboa, chair, Eugene Human Rights Commission; and Cynthia Aguilar Arizmendi, a DACA student at the University of Oregon.

The Defamation Act 2013 ("DA 2013) reformed English law on defamation with issues surrounding freedom of expression and protecting a person's, or a company's, reputation. Section 1 DA 2013 states that "a statement is not defamatory unless its publication has caused, or is likely to cause serious harm to the reputation" of the person, or has caused, or is likely to cause serious harm by causing, or is likely to cause, serious financial loss. This is known as the "serious harm" test which must be present if a claim in defamation is to succeed.
There is current disagreement as to how "is likely to" was intended to be used with some judges having the opinion that "a tendency or likelihood is sufficient", others consider that "more likely than not" is appropriate, whilst "less than "more likely than not"" is considered the correct balance when deciding the meaning of "likely". Although similar, there are nuances in the definitions which can make a difference when deciding whether a claim has merit.
In November 2018, the Supreme Court will be hearing Lachaux (Respondent) v Independent Print Limited and another (Appellants)[UKSC 2017/0175] with regards to the proper interpretation of the "serious harm" test mentioned above, and the circumstance surrounding claims in which serious harm has to be inferred as there is an absence of evidence of harm. In other words, the Supreme Court will consider the true meaning of "is likely to" cause harm.

British Legion-Bahamas Branch WW II Veteran Eulogized
Jonathan Rolle
The Royal Bahamas Defence Force bugler and drummer performed the last post and reveille at the funeral service for Comrade George Collymore, a member of the British Legion–Bahamas Branch (BLBB) who died on September 24th at the age of 90.
Comrade Collymore was eulogized on Saturday past (October 5th) at St. Agnes Catholic Church, Balliou Hill Road, Grants Town. He initially enlisted with the British Legion-Bahamas Branch (BLBB) in 1944, where he served until 1945. He later enlisted with the US Marine Corp, and completed a tour of duty during the Korean War.
As a member of the Royal Air Force, Comrade Collymore served as an Aircraftman mechanic 2. He was given the responsibility for the maintenance of war airplanes at the Oakes Field Base.
A total of 14 World War veterans who have served with the BLBB have passed on since 2017, which includes 3 BLBB members this year. Currently, there are 7 remaining veterans registered with the BLBB.
Since 2012, the Royal Bahamas Defence Force has assisted the BLBB with the coordination and administration of all BLBB programmes and activities through the administrative assistance of Defence Force Reservist Adina Munroe-Charlow, who was appointed Chairman of the BLBB on July 1, 2019.
The BLBBs formal relations with the Defence Force also made it possible for registered WW II veterans to receive monthly pensions from the British Government.
In addition to performing ceremonial duties at military funerals for BLBB members, the Defence Force participates in the BLBBs Annual Church Service at St. Agnes Church, their Remembrance Day Ceremony at the Veterans Cemetery on Infant View Road, the Annual Christmas Luncheon, the Annual Poppy Sales event, the wreath laying ceremony at the veterans cemetery and at the cenotaph, Rawson Square.
In 2017, the Defence Force adopted the Veterans Cemetery on Infant View Road where a number of World War I and II veterans are interned.
In 2018, the Defence Force hosted the BLBBs 100th Anniversary Ceremony for the ending of World War I.
The Royal Bahamas Defence Force remains committed to guarding our heritage.

Community activist Leonard Adams has mentored at-risk youth, helped troubled fathers in need, found housing for the homeless and for decades has been a strong positive role model in the Long Beach community. Friday, February 1, 2019. Photo by Stephen Carr / Long Beach Post

'A guy who genuinely cares': Leonard Adams does his part and then some
Steve Lowery
His stature is such that there aren't many places Leonard Adams can wander in the Central Area of Long Beach where he isn't instantly recognized. Being 6-foot-5 helps, but Adams is as known for his activism as his physical presence, having been a staple in the neighborhood since he moved there from Compton in 1973.
"When I go places with my wife, she says 'Everyone knows you,'" Adams says.
It's easy enough to see why. Since moving to Long Beach, Adams has always been involved in some sort of civic activity. Beneath his big, seemingly intimidating exterior, he is actually very sensitive and compassionate, and that is the side of him that comes out when he is reaching out to the less fortunate. Whether helping homeless vets, mentoring young fathers, counseling gang members or serving on the city's Citizen Police Complaint Commission—he is the Sixth District representative—Adams could always be found doing his part and then some.
"People know me as a person who steps up to the plate and accepts a challenge."
Friend and fellow activist Erroll Parker calls Adams "a guy who genuinely cares about others," and said he has met few who can match Adams in ministering to the disadvantaged.
When Adams announced his retirement in 2016, locals filled the cafeteria room at Martin Luther King Jr. Park and recognition and best wishes poured in from all manner of Long Beach luminaries, ranging from Mayor Robert Garcia to Snoop Dogg, the latter referring to Adams as a "village leader."
Adams seems as at home with city and community leaders in a meeting room as he is with kids on a street corner. At community functions, he'll often sprawl low in a chair and quietly observe the goings-on before engaging. When he speaks in his bass voice it is slow, deliberate and serious, but generally commands attention. He carefully parses his words and tries not to offend.
At the time of his retirement, Adams planned to relax and spend his time watching grandson Adolfo Thomas play basketball for Poly High. But it didn't stick. Although Adams still organizes his week to get out to Poly games, he is also back into volunteering and activism.
He is also assistant director of Developing Future Leaders, a group that provides free art, music and after-school activities for kids as well as backpack, Christmas toy and food giveaways. He works with Long Beach Advocates for Change, the annual Martin Luther King Jr. Parade and Celebration, where he has been a grand marshal three times. And he still works part-time.
That's what retirement looks like to a guy like Adams.
"You retire, you can't stay home," he said. "So, you get up and do what you normally do."
Adams came to his activism from growing up in segregated and racist times in Alabama. He remembers being chased by white men while trying to register blacks to vote in his hometown of Mt. Vernon, Alabama in the 1960s. He remembers having to run into the woods to elude his pursuers. He recalls the first time his mother went to vote, returning from a polling place with dog bite marks. He attended a segregated high school and was pelted with rocks if he went through white neighborhoods on his scooter.
He said it was from working with a blind activist named Monroe Bishop, that his eyes were opened to racial injustice. Despite his segregated South roots he seems to harbor no grudges. He is neither a firebrand nor an apologist, rather, he is known for working diligently with others regardless of race.
"I prefer to deal with each individual as a person," he said. "That's how I look at the world."
Sixth District Councilman Dee Andrews, who appointed Adams to the Complaint Commission, says Adams "put his heart and soul into the area. He's a helper. He's a giver."
Keith Lilly, a former site director at the Boys and Girls Club and another long-time activist, said of Adams, "He fights for the little guy and makes sure everyone's included."
Most of the adults who grew up in Long Beach's Sixth District in the last 45 years know Adams either as a playground supervisor and referee at Martin Luther King Jr. Park, or as a volunteer for the Boys and Girls Club. For years, he has worked on the streets as an outreach worker with the now-defunct Role of Men, which helped young fathers develop parenting and life skills.
"I think that's the most outstanding work he did," Parker said.
Adams was particularly proud of his work with the homeless as an outreach specialist, particularly with veterans.
"As you help the veterans you really feel what they're going through," he said.
Through his work with the homeless, Adams gained some notice for helping several celebrated clients. One was Claudius Linton, a former reggae musician from the Trench Town section of Kingston, Jamaica, and a contemporary of Bob Marley. Adams helped Linton with housing and even got him back on stage to perform a few last times before Linton passed away from illness.
Another client was Doris Payne, a notorious jewel thief with a 70-year criminal career, who drifted through Long Beach in 2015. Adams helped her find temporary shelter at the Colonial Motel, before Payne moved on with her life of crimes and misdemeanors.
Andrews is particularly impressed with Adams' work with the homeless.
"You could call him any time day or night and he'd get up in person and take care of it," Andrews said of getting help to those in need. "If we had a few more Leonards we might solve homelessness, that's how I feel."
Adams said his work for the Midnight Madness basketball program from 1995-2009, where the gym at McBride Park became neutral ground for members of various Crips and Bloods factions, was pivotal.
"That taught me a lot about humans, as we embarked on trying to turn gang bangers into solid citizens through basketball," he said.
Steve Lowery began his journalism career at the Los Angeles Times, where he planned to spend his entire career. God, as usual, laughed at his plans and he has since written for the short-lived sports publication The National, the L.A. Daily News, the Press-Telegram, New Times LA, the District and the OC Weekly. He is the Arts & Culture Editor for the Post, overseeing the Hi-lo.


It's hard to believe it's been six years! Ian said he didn't really remember seeing them before, and no wonder! He was not quite 7 at the time.
I'm one one of those parents who is more into making memories than giving my kids things.
And, since Thi has been with us, I've really wanted to provide him with opportunities to store up memories (and treasures) that he can take home with him when he leaves us. He loves basketball, so I knew he would really love seeing the Globetrotters!
The Globetrotters put on an entertaining show!
If you've never seen the Globetrotters, I would highly recommend going to see them sometime! They are so entertaining and fun. You don't even need to be a basketball (or sports) fan to appreciate them. I hate sports and I find myself mesmerized by the Globetrotters tricks and antics on the court.

The workshop will consider the social impact of Artificially Intelligent Communications Technology (AICT). Specifically, the talks and discussions will focus on different aspects of the complex relationships between language, gender, and technology. These issues are of particular relevance in an age when Virtual Personal Assistants such as Siri, Cortana, and Alexa present themselves as submissive females, when most language-based technologies manifest glaring gender-biases, when 78% of the experts developing AI systems are male, when sexist hate speech online is a widely-recognised problem and when many Western cultures and societies are increasingly recognising the significance of non-binary gender identities.
The workshop is organised by Giving Voice to Digital Democracies: The Social Impact of Artificially Intelligent Communications Technology, a research project which is part of the Centre for the Humanities and Social Change, Cambridge and funded by the Humanities and Social Change International Foundation.
Giving Voice to Digital Democracies explores the social impact of Artificially Intelligent Communications Technology – that is, AI systems that use speech recognition, speech synthesis, dialogue modelling, machine translation, natural language processing, and/or smart telecommunications as interfaces. Due to recent advances in machine learning, these technologies are already rapidly transforming our modern digital democracies. While they can certainly have a positive impact on society (e.g. by promoting free speech and political engagement), they also offer opportunities for distortion and deception. Unbalanced data sets can reinforce problematical social biases; automated Twitter bots can drastically increase the spread of malinformation and hate speech online; and the responses of automated Virtual Personal Assistants during conversations about sensitive topics (e.g. suicidal tendencies, religion, sexual identity) can have serious consequences.
Responding to these increasingly urgent concerns, this project brings together experts from linguistics, philosophy, speech technology, computer science, psychology, sociology and political theory to develop design objectives for the creation of AICT systems that are more ethical, trustworthy and transparent. These technologies will have the potential to affect more positively the kinds of social change that will shape modern digital democracies in the immediate future.


CalcioMercato exclusively understand that Serie A giants Juventus have made initial contact to sign Real Madrid full-back Marcelo.
As we had learnt some days ago that Paris Saint-Germain have opened talks for Alex Sandro and have made an offer of about 40 million euros, the former Porto man is expected to leave this summer. Manchester United have drawn links with the player, but PSG seem like his likely destination.
It has been exclusively learnt by CalcioMercato that Juventus see Marcelo as a replacement for Alex Sandro and have made initial enquiries for the player already. Their signing of Cristiano Ronaldo this summer has made them believe that they can sign top-class players.
It is believed that Real Madrid could consider selling Marcelo, if the right offer arrives and the Brazilian is one of Cristiano Ronaldo's best friends in football, with their friendship already well documented.
Offers of about 40 to 60 million euros could be enough for Marcelo and despite initial enquiries, Juventus are likely to sell some of their midfielders and Gonzalo Higuain before making a concrete offer.

Julien Baker transforms Palace Theater into a chapel
December 15, 2017 June 23, 2018 Mark Ortega
The first time I saw Julien Baker, it was at SXSW in 2016, in an actual church. If her set was at all what church was ever really like, I might have actually gone more than when I was forced to. Thursday night at the Palace Theater in downtown LA, Baker proved that she can turn any venue into a spiritual place.
Playing a mix of songs from her 2017 sophomore full-length record Turn Out The Lights as well as songs from her amazing debut record Sprained Ankle, Baker had the assembled crowd silent in their seats for over an hour. Sometimes, the only noises you could hear emanating from ticket buyers were sobs as Baker's gut wrenching catalog of songs rendered them unable to hold their feelings inside.
Baker kicked off the set with "Appointments", one of the standout tracks from her new record. The set maintained that aura of vulnerability that she captured on the opening track. Baker was joined on stage by violinist Camille Faulkner for a number of songs, beginning with the magnificent "Sour Breath", adding even more depth to Baker's songs.
Baker preceded "Rejoice" with the story about how the song is about being grateful for all the things life throws at you, even the really difficult stuff that can feel overwhelming. It added context to Baker screaming "But I think there's a god and he hears either way when I rejoice and complain" at the top of her lungs. You could feel the hairs raising on everyone's arms.
Baker closed out her set with the one-two stomach punch of "Go Home" — the last track of her debut album — and "Something" — my favorite song from that record. It was one of those shows that stuck with you the whole car ride home, and it was easy to lose yourself in your thoughts. Julien Baker has perfected writing agonizingly relatable songs in a way I haven't seen since Elliott Smith — and she's only going to grow.

With more than two weeks left until free agency, the biggest moves on the Dallas Cowboys' offseason ledger so far are the firing of offensive coordinator Scott Linehan, Kellen Moore's subsequent promotion from quarterbacks coach to offensive coordinator and Jon Kitna's hiring as the team's new quarterbacks coach.
But Jason Garrett remains the head coach, which means the Cowboys are going to run his offense regardless of who is coaching underneath him.
Therefore, even though both Moore and Kitna will have a large say in the offensive game plan (in Moore's case, he will even reportedly call plays on gameday), any adjustments made to Garrett's offense will likely be slight instead of large, wholesale changes.
Moore and Kitna's fingerprints will be all over the offense, and the more astute observers should be able to identify them once the season begins, though they will all be under the umbrella of Garrett's offensive philosophy.
That's why it's important to be realistic with expectations of the Cowboys' offense after Moore's promotion and the addition of Kitna. Since those moves were made, the more optimistic fans and analysts have dreamed of an offense built similarly to the Los Angeles Rams or Kansas City Chiefs' potent units.
Not to burst anyone's bubble, but that's unlikely to happen.
Garrett has proven capable of making changes to his offensive philosophy -- see the differences between the Tony Romo-led offenses and the Dak Prescott-led ones -- but it's unlikely those changes will be extensive without a change at quarterback, which isn't happening.
What can happen, though, is Moore and Kitna make slight changes that have a net positive effect on the offense. Whether it be player development or some slight tinkering with how Garrett's offense is presented, Moore and Kitna's small changes can make a noticeable difference in the unit's productivity and efficiency.
The biggest thing holding Prescott back from becoming an upper-echelon NFL quarterback is his footwork. Last year, we discussed how Prescott's shoddy footwork sapped his ability to be efficient and productive at times.
"I'm excited for what I can learn, what he can teach me, knowing how serious he takes footwork...knowing those are going to be a lot of things that will help me become the player I want to be."
Prescott knows he needs to improve his footwork to take the next step in his developmental process, and that awareness will enable him to fully absorb Kitna's teachings.
One aspect of quarterback footwork that Kitna harps on is getting the QB's "ankle eye," known as the "medial malleolus" of the quarterback's back foot, pointed directly at his intended receiver (see above video for Kitna's full explanation with visual examples). In the video, Kitna states that a quarterback can manipulate his shoulders and eyes given the situation, but the "ankle eye" always must be pointed toward his intended target.
Kitna views this as one of the non-negotiables of quarterback play, meaning that getting the ankle eye pointed toward the intended target is a prerequisite to consistently effective play.
On this play, Prescott is looking to connect with Cole Beasley, who aligned in the backfield, on a flat route. But instead of setting his feet to make the throw while getting his ankle eye directed at the target, Prescott gets too influenced by the interior pressure and drifts backward, his ankle eye pointed more toward the sideline.
The result is an inaccurate throw that should have been intercepted. Yes, Prescott did have some pressure in his face, but he had ample space to set his feet and make a quick throw, as Texans defenders were 3-4 yards away when Prescott began his release.
Another aspect of footwork that Kitna harps on is the distance between a quarterback's feet during the release. Kitna says he gives his quarterbacks visual cues so they can picture the technique (see video above for full explanation). Kitna doesn't want his quarterback's feet to be at a distance akin with riding a bike (too narrow) or a bull (too wide).
Instead, he wants his quarterback's base to emulate riding a horse because it allows the quarterback to consistently remain balanced while transferring his weight to generate the force necessary to make a throw, improves one's ability to make consistently accurate throws with velocity.
Prescott is again looking to connect with Beasley in the flat, but an inaccurate pass eliminates the opportunity for a positive gain on the play.
Note how wide Prescott's base is once he sets up to throw. In Kitna terms, Prescott is "riding a bull" instead of "riding a horse." Prescott's base is so wide he can't even step into the throw, leading to power drain issues, which is why he was a yard short on his throw.
Even though the NFL's practice rules limit a position coach's ability to totally revamp a player's technique, there is still enough time to make progress in key areas.
In Kitna's case, he doesn't have to rework the totality of Prescott's mechanics. Instead, his goal will likely be to improve some of these key areas of Prescott's footwork, which is doable.
It's not like he is going to turn into Drew Brees overnight, but improvement with his footwork will enable Prescott to be accurate more consistently, making the Cowboys' offense more effective and productive in turn.
Moore has become the boy wonder of the Cowboys' coaching staff. Just two years ago, he was a backup quarterback for the Cowboys. Now, at just 30 years old, he's the offensive coordinator for the most valuable franchise in the NFL.
Even though Moore is the team's offensive coordinator and likely play-caller, he will do both under the auspices of Garrett's offense and philosophy.
"Our whole goal, from an outside perspective, is to make it look as confusing as possible. And, at the end of the day, it's pretty simple for us. You know, it's a lot of the same concepts and it's a lot of doing the same thing."
This is where Moore's fingerprints can enhance Garrett's offense. Instead of making wholesale changes to the core tenets of Garrett's offense -- such as the route combinations, quarterback's progression and protections used upfront -- Moore can alter the way Garrett's offense is presented to the defense.
Last season, the Cowboys' offense was decried as predictable by fans and opposing players alike. They were too static with their formations and too easy for defenders to decode.
One way to make things less predictable for defenders is by dressing plays up with a plethora of pre-snap motions and shifts. This makes things difficult for defenses because they must adjust to the motion on the fly, which often leads to miscommunication.
For example, if a team is in a typical single-back set using 11 personnel (one running back, one tight end and three receivers) and shifts the tight end from the right side of the formation to the left, it changes the offense's "strength" from the right side to the left, invariably changing the responsibilities of defenders on that play.
If one player fails to adhere to the changes in responsibility, the offense's chances of a positive result improve exponentially.
Pre-snap motion is also a great way to "trick" defenders on a given play, as they have a tendency to overplay a motion or shift, opening up big-play opportunities for the offense. Pre-snap motion can force defenses to be less aggressive because they are more focused on getting lined up properly pre-snap rather than reading their keys to play aggressively.
Pre-snap motion also makes life easier on the quarterback, as it makes diagnosing coverages pre-snap simpler. One of the ways to distinguish between man and zone coverage is by using pre-snap motion.
If a receiver motions from one side of the formation to the other and is followed by a particular defensive back, it's likely man coverage. If the receiver motions but is not followed by a defensive back, it's probably zone coverage.
The Cowboys used pre-snap motion at times last season, but it wasn't nearly as frequent as it should have been. If Moore can change the way Garrett's offense is presented, using pre-snap shifts and motions, not only will it make life easier on Prescott, it will make life more difficult on opposing defenses -- exactly the kind of realistic alteration Moore can make to Garrett's offense.

Q: .NET Compiler Output I'm attempting to resolve source problems and I'm attempting to figure out which version is which.  The other problem I'm running into is the output the .NET compiler generates is very unintelligible and a little frustrating.  In my bin folder i have the following assemblies:
AjaxControlToolkit.dll
AjaxControlToolkit.pdb
App_Code.compiled
App_Code.dll
App_global.asax.compiled
App_global.asax.dll
App_Web_1bovrrt_.dll
App_Web_cuytoyuc.dll
App_Web_gjpim9z2.dll
App_Web_k-homu1n.dll
App_Web_m_hnrikq.dll
App_Web_mqzd9_of.dll
App_Web_ogzfeeae.dll
App_Web_qa1j2ese.dll
App_Web_thkvu0ud.dll
App_Web_ztp4u54p.dll
log4net.dll
StoreProcedures.dll
StoreProcedures.pdb

I understand most of what the files contain because Reflector is my friend.
My question is: is there a way to tell the compiler to be a bit more "English" with the compiled names of assemblies, or even to put each page in it's own assembly?  Or is that a pipe dream?
Cheers!

A: Your best bet is to do a few things.

*

*Make sure that the project is a web application, the compiling is much cleaner that way.

*When you PUBLISH the site, delete all existing files, and re-publish the whole thing.  This way you can ensure that the most current DLL's are the only ones out there.

*You can also use the FixedNames flag (See Article) to get a fixed assembly name.

A: Since dynamic compilation just uses some hashes in the name, my guess it that you cannot.
But you may be able to achieve your goal with precompilation.

    int a=5, b=2;
    printf("%d",a++ + b);
}

For the above program again I'm getting output as 7 (which is again correct according to lexical analysis)
But when I wrote a program to print the outputs for both a+++b and a++ +b I'm getting different outputs
#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
    int a=5, b=2;
    printf("%d",a+++b);
    printf("\n%d",a++ + b);
}

The output is 7 for a+++b (which is correct) and 8 for a++ +b (which is wrong).
Can anyone point out the error in the third program?

A: The issue here isn't the space in the second statement, it's the fact you have two of them. After the first statement (to be exact, after a++ is called), the value of a is incremented and is now 6. So a++ + b will clearly return 8. If you omit the first printf call and just call the second one, you'll get 7 as you expect.

A: a++ is post-fix increment. It evaluates to a and increments the variable a by 1 before the enclosing printf() is called in this case(*).
So after the first printf() the value of a is 6.
So what do you now expect from the second printf?
Operators like post-fix ++ are expressions (have a value) and instructions (have an effect). They cause endless confusion bugs and undefined behaviour to novices and bite the most seasoned programmers on the ass from time to time.
(*) These operators are useful and have their place but exactly when these operators take effect is complex sometimes counter intuitive and I recommend you don't use them in complex expressions to begin with or even ever.
They're a bit of a throw back to when compilers didn't optimise code for you and the programmer had to help!


hi all, just been on the phone to Cricks Highway Kia at Springwood as i am due for my next service. i have been told it will cost around 1300 for this service as it is major and i will need the timing belt done... i dont have 130 cents so im bit spewing as im worried this stuff needs to be done but no way i can/will afford that.. ive seen a timing belt kit for $300, no idea what would cost to do it/get a machinice to do it. also what else is involved in this service? if just the norm i can do all that myself and just worry about the belt..
also whats the go- just had the truck 5 years, my aircon wont work, heater wont work, door handle snapped, fuse cover snapped off, rear view mirror fell off, passeneger seatbelt wont clip up.. are these things just meant to fail after 5 years...??
Unless you are handy with tools you should get the belt replacement performed by a professional. There are several YouTube videos on how to perform a removal replacement process. (Example http://youtu.be/LM8j-uHsNhY). Depending on the vehicle, the water pump may be inspected and its gasket replaced at the same time. Mistakes can cause extensive damage.
At your mileage, the timing belt and water pump, should not be ignored, if TB breaks, you will need major engine work..


Tea Can Prevent Cancer – In a recent study, it was proven that women who drink 2 to 3 cups a day have less chances of contracting ovarian cancer.
It Contains Less Caffeine Than Coffee – While coffee is the preferred drink for many people, because if its taste and ability to instantly boost energy levels and mood, coffee contains more caffeine than tea, thus increasing the risk of heart attack. Coffee has 135 mg of caffeine, while tea has 30 to 40 mg, thus it is better to have tea than coffee to boost your mood.
It is good for Heart Problems – In a recent study conducted over a sample of roughly 200 heart patients over a period of 4 years, it was found that heart patients who used to drink 2 to 3 cups of tea daily have lower cholesterol levels than those who do not. The caffeine found in tea is only harmful if consumed in greater quantities. In the study, it was further said that green tea, when mixed with basil leaves is prepared and consumed to keep cholesterol levels normal. According to Professor Kaul of the PHI Chandigarh experimental medicine department, the human body has many genes to control cholesterol levels, and green tea and basil leaves control these genes in turn.
It Makes Bones Stronger – In a study conducted over a period of 10 years, it was found that people who drink tea with milk have more bone density than people who do not drink it with milk.
It is Good for Teeth – It contains fluoride and tenin, which when consumed without sugar makes teeth stronger and whiter.
It is Good for Digestion – People who drink 4 to 5 cups of tea a day have less chances of contracting stomach related problems or constipation.
It Boosts Metabolism – If you are overweight and are tired of following weight loss methods, then start drinking 2 to 3 cups of tea a day. Within a few days, you will begin to see a result. Green tea is the best, but even black tea can help boost metabolism.
It Helps Avoid Dehydration – For people who do not drink enough water, having 2 to 3 cups of tea a day can be beneficial. Tea is made with water, so if you don't like drinking straight water but enjoy tea, you will at least meet the body's requirement of water and not feel lethargic.
It does Not Contain Calories – Tea has zero calories, it is milk and sugar that it gets its calorie. So people who want to be slim and consume fewer calories can drink 2 to 3 cups of tea whenever they feel hungry.
Do not drink more than 3 cups in a single day.
Avoid giving tea to children, as it is addictive.
Do not drink it very as it affects the teeth and food canal.

Dr. Fauci Warns Mutations Could Make COVID-19 More Infectious
Thursday, Jul 02, 2020 - 16:50
Scientists around the world are trying to unravel the many mysteries of SARS-CoV-2, ranging from the broad-strokes (what was so special about this virus that it succeeded in going global where many others have failed) to the intensely specific (how mutations impact the virus's ability to bind to the human ACE2 receptor). In recent days, much ink has been spilled about a mutation found in 70% of the hundreds of thousands of COVID-19 genetic samples compiled in a shared open scientific database.
Just a day after Dr. Fauci repeated his reassurances that the US could have a working coronavirus vaccine by January, the doctor warned during an interview on Thursday that an unforeseeable mutation could create serious problems for humanity, such as by making the virus even more infectious.
After explaining to the Senate that the US is "going in the wrong direction", Dr. Fauci warned the US may see as many as 100k new COVID-19 cases a day if drastic actions weren't taken. States from California to New York have rolled back their reopening plans.
Asked about the research in an interview published Thursday, Dr. Fauci said it appears a mutation has helped enhance the virus's infectious potential.
"It does look like a particular mutation may make the virus more transmissible," Fauci said.
Though he of course cautioned that more research is needed before conclusions are drawn.
During a COVID-19 Q&A with JAMA Network, Fauci added not all scientists are in agreement over the development. He said more research is needed.
"There's a little dispute about it, but I think the data is showing that there is a single mutation that actually makes the virus be able to replicate better and maybe have high viral loads," Fauci said.
Infections are rising rapidly across the West and South, and right now, fewer than a dozen are still seeing cases decline, as even places like New York have seen numbers plateau.
But when the economy tanks because we don't have a vaccine by New Year's Eve, will critics cite these comments as evidence that Fauci has been peddling false hope?

Dr. Jill Naiman's work focuses on the fields of data visualization and document digitization. She works collaboratively with the Advanced Visualization Lab at NCSA and develops methods and best practices for scientific visualization. She also works on the digitization of pre-digital scientific articles to make the information contained within them (text, tables, figures) easier to index and search. These endeavors are reflected in her teaching of Data Visualization; Data Storytelling; and Data, Statistics and Information courses at the iSchool and in her mentoring of graduate and undergraduate student research projects.
William Patterson
In 2009, Dr. Will Patterson received seed funding to create a mobile classroom and sound studio called the Hip Hop Xpress, which ever since has been a tool to catalyze community building on and off campus (including Chicago and East St. Louis), using Black cultural wealth and its legacies. The Xpress has gone through three iterations, with the latest being partially funded by the Presidential Initiative to Celebrate the Impact of the Arts and Humanities. When the pandemic reached central Illinois and the UIUC shifted primarily to online course delivery, the students in the Hip Hop Xpress Spring 2020 class (co-taught by Professors Erickson, Kruse, and Patterson) and those in Dr. Patterson's Hip Hop Entrepreneurship class only were able to pilot the digital aspects of the Xpress: a social media plan, a website and an app. While still incomplete on the interior, the Xpress recently visited new high school graduates outside their homes to celebrate their accomplishments, and plans are in the works to use its WiFi capability to deliver online content this summer to youth involved with 16 local groups. The Hip Hop Xpress is integral to the scholarship not only of Dr. Patterson, but his collaborators on the Presidential Initiative, Dr. Adam Kruse (Music) and Dr. Malaika McKee (African American Studies.) Dr. Patterson is a connector and a collaborator who relishes the ways in which his efforts support the work of his colleagues.
Responding to the huge impact of COVID-19 on communities of color, Dr. Patterson pivoted in March to launch the World Education Community Awareness and Activism Network (WECAAN) that included local youth-serving organizations and UI students. Together they brainstormed how the Xpress could become a node to deliver reliable, culturally-responsive information about health, safety and well-being. Born, raised and educated in Champaign-Urbana (for the most part), Dr. Patterson's deep roots here weave together local leaders who are collaborating now to shape and deliver content using the arts and STEM materials.
Dr. Patterson develops interdisciplinary course offerings. He builds on the disruptive work of Andre Young (Dr. Dre) and Jimmy Iovine, founders of BEATS, who believed that interdisciplinary ecosystems of art, technology, and business in higher education would position students to meet current and future needs. He has developed and offered courses in various units over the past two decades, including a sequence of applied-learning courses that provide hands-on, engaged scholarship.

Q: How to remove files from a directory if their names are not in a text file? Bash script I am writing a bash script and want it to tell me if the names of the files in a directory appear in a text file and if not, remove them.
Something like this:
counter = 1
numFiles = ls -1 TestDir/ | wc -l
while [$counter -lt $numFiles]
do
     if [file in TestDir/ not in fileNames.txt]
     then
          rm file
     fi
     ((counter++))
done

So what I need help with is the if statement, which is still pseudo-code.

A: You can simplify your script logic a lot :
#/bin/bash

# for loop to iterate over all files in the testdir
for file in TestDir/*
do
    # if grep exit code is 1 (file not found in the text document), we delete the file
    [[ ! $(grep -x "$file" fileNames.txt &> /dev/null) ]] && rm "$file"
done

A: It looks like you've got a solution that works, but I thought I'd offer this one as well, as it might still be of help to you or someone else.
find /Path/To/TestDir -type f ! -name '.*' -exec basename {} + | grep -xvF -f /Path/To/filenames.txt"

Breakdown
find: This gets file paths in the specified directory (which would be TestDir) that match the given criteria.  In this case, I've specified it return only regular files (-type f) whose names don't start with a period (-name '.*').  It then uses its own builtin utility to execute the next command:
basename:  Given a file path (which is what find spits out), it will return the base filename only, or, more specifically, everything after the last /.
|:  This is a command pipe, that takes the output of the previous command to use as input in the next command.
grep: This is a regular-expression matching utility that, in this case, is given two lists of files: one fed in through the pipe from find—the files of your TestDir directory; and the files listed in filenames.txt.  Ordinarily, the filenames in the text file would be used to match against filenames returned by find, and those that match would be given as the output.  However, the -v flag inverts the matching process, so that grep returns those filenames that do not match.
What results is a list of files that exist in the directory TestDir, but do not appear in the filenames.txt file.  These are the files you wish to delete, so you can simply use this line of code inside a parameter expansion $(...) to supply rm with the files it's able to delete.
The full command chain—after you cd into TestDir—looks like this:
rm $(find . -type f ! -name '.*' -exec basename {} + | grep -xvF -f filenames.txt")

COVID-19 live updates: Washoe County COVID-19 death toll now at 140
Brett McGinness Anjeanette Damon Taylor Avery
This is a breaking news story and will be updated throughout the day Wednesday, Sept. 2. This story is part of the Reno Gazette Journal's essential COVID-19 coverage and is being provided for free. Please consider subscribing to the RGJ to support our work.
Washoe County COVID-19 deaths top 140
The Regional Information Center reported the death of a Washoe County man Wednesday afternoon, ending a three-day streak of no deaths.
The man was in his 70s and had underlying health conditions. This brings the total deaths related to COVID-19 in Washoe County to 140.
Washoe County reported 45 new cases from Tuesday. The number of active cases in Washoe County dropped again, down to 1,012 cases. The county reported 52 more people who have recovered.
Occupation of intensive care unit beds went down one percentage point, down to 41 percent. The number of people currently hospitalized went down by one, bringing the total to 89. The number of ventilators in use also went down by two percent, down to 24 percent. Staffed short-term acute hospital beds were 63 percent occupied, down one percent from Tuesday.
State reports spike in deaths
Wednesday, 12:50 p.m.
Nevada reported 23 new deaths Wednesday, the most in one day since Aug. 11, according to the Nevada Department of Health and Human Services.
The spike in deaths corresponds to the surge in new cases from about five weeks ago, said Caleb Cage, Nevada's COVID-19 Response Director.
The state also reported 239 new cases since yesterday. In comparison, there were 405 new cases reported on Monday.
This brings the state's total number of confirmed cases in Nevada to 69,872 since March.
Six patients were added to the intensive care units, bringing the total number of ICU patients in Nevada to 199 patients. As of yesterday, there were 539 hospitalizations, down from 557 on Monday.
State lab to test for COVID-19 and flu simultaneously
Wednesday 12:30 p.m.
In about two weeks, the Nevada State Public Health Laboratory will be set up to run both COVID-19 and flu tests simultaneously.
The lab's director Dr. Mark Pandori said Wednesday the lab had hoped to have the dual test capability more quickly but the necessary equipment coming from the CDC has been delayed.
The new tests will detect Influenza A and Influenza B in addition to COVID-19, giving sick people a quick answer as to what ails them, Pandori said.
Pandori said health officials aren't yet able to predict how bad this season's flu will be. Indicators coming from the southern hemisphere suggest it may be a lighter than normal flu year, however, that data isn't definitive, Pandori said.
Known active COVID-19 cases in Washoe County lowest since July 2
The number of known active cases in Washoe County dropped to 1,020, according to data released Tuesday afternoon by the Regional Information Center.
It's the third straight day of reported decreases, down 182 from Friday and the lowest since July 2.
Sixty-seven new cases of the coronavirus were diagnosed over the past day, along with 72 reported recoveries. No deaths were reported in the county for the third straight day.
Hospitalization data was mixed. Intensive care unit bed use was down three percentage points to 42%, but ventilator use was up 7 percentage points to 26%. The percentage of staffed short-term acute-care hospital beds remained unchanged at 64%.
The cumulative positive rate of all tests performed since March increased to 5.6%, a new high. Since the pandemic began, about one out of every 65 Washoe County residents has been diagnosed with the coronavirus.
COVID-19 news: UNR researchers using wastewater to measure COVID-19 prevalence in Truckee Meadows
Washoe County's pandemic numbers from August:
24,676 tests performed (down from 36,204 in July)
2,073 cases identified (down from 2,420 in July)
25 deaths related to COVID-19 (down from 39 in July)
Nevada's 7-day positive case rate lowest since June
Nevada's most recent seven-day rolling positive test rate dropped to 10.3% on Aug. 30 — still well above the World Health Organization's 5% target, but the lowest mark in the Silver State since June 25.
The latest batch of data from the Nevada Department of Health and Human Services revealed 405 new confirmed cases and eight additional deaths statewide.
To date, 69,633 cases and 1,313 deaths have been attributed to the coronavirus since the pandemic's presence in Nevada was confirmed in March.

Hospitalizations of known and suspected COVID-19 cases also fell to a new low since June. Five hundred fifty-seven confirmed cases and 86 suspected cases were in Nevada hospitals; the total of 643 is the lowest since 630 patients were hospitalized on June 30.
The number of confirmed and suspected coronavirus cases in intensive care units was down slightly over the past day, dropping by three to 193. The number of patients on ventilators rose sharply, from 106 to 119.

"Cutting feed costs is vital for us to keep running the farm," Sotome, 59, said by telephone from Tochigi Prefecture.
Wagyu cattle are coddled with everything from custom clothing to beer for breakfast, and they are fed in a way that ensures maximum marbling in the meat. More than half the barley imports by Japan — the world's fourth-largest buyer — are fed to the animals because it delivers whiter fat layers than other grains and is cheaper.
Farmers are spending more than ¥700,000 — the most ever — to buy a 10-month-old wagyu calf that weighs about 280 kg, Sotome said. It costs as much as ¥400,000 to feed and care for them before they are sold to a meat processor for more than ¥1 million, he said. To make sure each one has enough fat, wagyu cattle are usually slaughtered after 30 months, almost a year older than typical corn-fed herds in the U.S., the world's biggest beef producer.
For the first time ever, Japan is getting most of its imported feed barley from the U.K. and Germany rather than from Australia, which is about 2,500 km closer, government data show. The Baltic Dry Index of shipping rates for bulk commodities like iron ore, coal and grain, plunged 79 percent in the past two years, reaching a record low last month as demand slows mostly in China. At the same time, the Japanese yen has strengthened 8.8 percent against the euro in 2015, the most in four years, making imports more attractive.
Australian barley costs about ¥2,000 more per metric ton than supplies from the U.K. and Germany, according to Nobuyuki Chino, president of Continental Rice Corp., a grain-trading company in Tokyo. That's a welcome saving for farmers, who in July 2014 were spending ¥68,661 per ton on average for feed, the most in 33 years, according to the agriculture ministry. Costs dropped to ¥66,476 in September.
Domestic cattle producers will need to keep cutting costs to remain competitive after the government agreed to slash tariffs on imported meat to secure the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal, Chino said. Import taxes on beef will drop to 9 percent in the deal's 16th year from 38.5 percent.
Of the 463,000 tons of barley imported in the six months through September, Japan got 34 percent from Germany and 25 percent from the U.K., compared with zero from those countries a year ago, agriculture ministry data show. Australia's share dropped to 6.6 percent from 50 percent a year earlier, while shipments increased from Romania, Ukraine and Hungary.
"Demand from the Japanese livestock industry has shifted to European supplies," said Ryoichi Watanabe, deputy director at the ministry's feed division.
Barley imports by Japan probably will rise 9.4 percent to 1.2 million tons in 2015-2016, the first increase in three years, the U.S. Department of Agriculture estimates. And less of the grain is coming from its traditional suppliers in Australia, Canada and the U.S., Continental Rice's Chino said.
Japan's government-run grain importer, which is tasked with regulating supply and prices, expanded its planned purchases of barley, most of which will come from Europe. In November, it announced plans to purchase a maximum 1 million tons in the year through March, up 45 percent from its March estimate of 690,000 tons.
Increased supplies of cheaper European grain are easing the strain on profit margins for beef producers who are spending ever more on the cattle they raise.
In October, the average cost of a Wagyu calf was ¥672,414, up 19 percent from a year earlier, according to Zen-Noh, a Japanese agricultural cooperative. Prices have risen since then, and are almost double the average of five years ago.
"Wagyu calves are too expensive for cattle growers to make profits, unless they can slash costs for feed," said Koichiro Uemura, managing director at Meat Companion, a beef producer in Tachikawa City, west of Tokyo.

Missing Saudi servicemen linked to NAS Pensacola shooting sought; gunman made prior reported trip to NYC – Fox News
e-News.US USA
Authorities investigating a deadly attack at a U.S. naval base in Florida are reportedly focused on finding several unaccounted for Saudi nationals linked to the shooting, as additional details have emerged about the shooter's movements in the weeks leading up to the rampage.
The FBI's Jacksonville office identified the shooter in a statement Saturday night as Mohammed Alshamrani, 21, and released a photo of him. Investigators said he was a 2nd Lt. in the Royal Saudi Air Force and was a student naval flight officer of Naval Aviation Schools Command when he opened fire Friday at Naval Air Station Pensacola in Florida before being shot dead.
In the days since the attack, a U.S. official who spoke on condition of anonymity after being briefed by federal authorities told the Associated Press that a total of 10 Saudi students were being held on the base as of Saturday while several others were unaccounted for.
While officials have not publicly disclosed how many missing servicemen are out there, U.S. Northern Command (Northcom) has called for increased random security checks at all sites as authorities investigating the attack are still working to determine whether the shooting was an act of terrorism.

"There's no question what it is, it's terrorism." Florida Sen. Rick Scott (R) said Sunday on "Fox & Friends." "It's radical Islam."
NAS PENSACOLA GUNMAN 'JUST SHOT THROUGH THE DOOR' DURING RAMPAGE, SURVIVOR SAYS
Lt. Cmdr. Michael Hatfield told Fox News on Saturday that after the shootings last week at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam in Hawaii and in Florida, Northcom has directed all Defense Department installations, facilities and units within the U.S. to immediately assess force protection measures and "implement increased random security measures appropriate for their facilities."
"The advisory also told leaders to remind their workforce to remain alert and if they see something, to say something by immediately reporting to appropriate authorities any suspicious activity they may observe," Hatfield continued.
On Saturday, a U.S. official told the Associated Press that Alshamrani hosted a dinner party earlier in the week where he and three others watched videos of mass shootings.
The official who spoke Saturday said one of the three students who attended the dinner party hosted by the attacker recorded video outside the classroom building while the shooting was taking place on Friday. Two other Saudi students watched from a car, the official said.
Scott said Sunday that while Saudi Arabia has been an ally, "they have to step up here," calling reports of the dinner party and viewing of mass shooting videos "disgusting."
"The fact that the FBI has not been able to, the reports say, the FBI has not been able to talk to every airman. I mean, I can't imagine that." he said on "Fox & Friends." "If the Saudi government is our ally our partner, they will make sure that there is full cooperation, not one airman needs to leave this country until the complete investigation."

In the weeks leading up to the shooting, Alshamrani and the same three other Saudi military trainees made a visit to New York City where they went to several museums and Rockefeller Center, a person briefed on the investigation told the New York Times.
Federal investigators are now focused on whether the trip was an extended tourist trip during the Thanksgiving holiday week or if the group of Saudi trainees had other motives or were meeting with anyone else in New York, according to The Times. Of the 10 Saudi trainees reportedly detained, three of them are the ones from the dinner party who claimed they were only filming the shooting because they happened to be there at the time and wanted to capture the moment, the U.S. official told the New York Times.
In an exclusive interview on "Fox News Sunday," Defense Secretary Mark Esper said it's unclear if they were filming it before it began or if it was something where they picked up their phones filmed it when they saw it unfolding.
"You know, today, people pull out their phones and film everything and anything that happens," Esper told Fox News' Chris Wallace.
A U.S. official on Friday told the AP the FBI was examining social media posts and investigating whether he acted alone or was connected to any broader group. The SITE Intelligence Group, a group that monitors jihadist media, said that Alshamrani posted to Twitter echoing sentiments from former Al Qaeda leader Usama Bin Laden.
A spokesperson for Twitter told Fox News in an email statement Saturday that the account was suspended but they declined to comment further as to when the manifesto was tweeted out. The FBI told Fox News it was aware of the anti-American Twitter post, but would not comment on whether they're looking at it as part of the investigation.
In remarks at a gathering of top U.S. defense and military officials on Saturday, Defense Secretary Mark Esper was asked whether he could say definitively that the shooting was an act of terrorism.
"No, I can't say it's terrorism at this time," he said, adding that the investigation needs to proceed. He declined to discuss details of the investigation so far.
SAUDI ARABIA 'WILL BE INVOLVED IN TAKING CARE' OF PENSACOLA SHOOTING VICTIMS' FAMILIES, TRUMP SAYS
In the wake of the deadly shooting, President Trump said Saturday that he would review policies governing foreign military training in the U.S but declined to say whether the shooting was terrorism-related.
The U.S. has long had a robust training program for Saudis, providing assistance in the U.S. and in the kingdom. Currently, more than 850 Saudis are in the United States for various training activities. They are among more than 5,000 foreign students from 153 countries in the U.S. going through military training.
Scott on Sunday called for suspending the training program pending a thorough review.
"We have got to make sure that American sailors, American soldiers are safe. We have to have a full review of what happened here," he said on "Fox & Friends." "We cannot be taking risks for our sailors."
The Navy on Saturday identified the three victims of the NAS Pensacola shooting as Ensign Joshua Kaleb Watson, 23, of Coffee, Ala.; Airman Mohammed Sameh Haitham, 19, of St. Petersburg, Fla.; and Airman Apprentice Cameron Scott Walters, 21, of Richmond Hill, Ga.
"The Sailors that lost their lives in the line of duty and showed exceptional heroism and bravery in the face of evil," Capt. Tim Kinsella, the commanding officer of Naval Air Station Pensacola, said in a statement. "When confronted, they didn't run from danger; they ran towards it and saved lives."
Kinsella said Naval Air Station Pensacola, one of the Navy's most historic and storied bases, would remain closed until further notice. The base sprawls along the waterfront southwest of the city's downtown and dominates the economy of the surrounding area.
The FBI's Jacksonville office has said it's not aware of any credible threat toward the Pensacola community at this time, but anyone with information regarding Alshamrani and his activities before the shooting is encouraged to call 1-800-CALL-FBI.

Work that needs to be done before a particular job can be considered complete or proper. If the debt is not repaid, then it will keep on accumulating interest, making it hard to implement changes later on.
Analogous to monetary debt, technical debt is not necessarily a bad thing, and sometimes technical debt is required to move projects forward.
This is a great way to put it; debt isn't inherently bad if it yields important short-term benefits that wouldn't have otherwise been achievable. Ensuring those benefits are reaped by choosing the right kinds of debt is crucial, however.
Over the past two months, I've been working on a brand new company. At this juncture, it's easy to think that one shouldn't be concerned about accumulating technical debt for quite some time. That for a while, raw speed is more important than doing everything "correctly." That to be burdened by technical debt would be a good problem to have, implying that you've found a meaningful foothold after launching. That if your 1.0 is too technically sound, you weren't moving fast enough.
I do think there's some truth to this, but of course it isn't so black and white. You absolutely shouldn't concern yourself with certain kinds of technical debt while racing towards your initial launch, with so many questions still swirling around value proposition and product/market fit. Maybe you have a class whose implementation consists solely of one giant method. It works, seemingly, but its logic is hard to understand and even harder to modify. Test coverage isn't great and you're sure there're edge cases that don't work as expected, that'd be apparent if you just spent some time breaking it down into a number of smaller methods.
This is the kind of technical debt that I have no problem introducing into my codebase at this early stage. Technical debt might be worth introducing early only if it's going to make you faster in the short-term. But specific types of debt do exactly the opposite.
One common form of technical debt is building components that are more tightly coupled together than they should be. Perhaps your view controllers each know about the next view controller that is to be displayed1. Maybe various parts of the codebase are all intimately aware that Core Data is being used for your persistence layer. This makes it prohibitively difficult to make rapid changes, specifically at the time when codebases tend to undergo the most: during their infancy.
Maybe we're just using NSUserDefaults for now, since it's so easy. Now we've graduated to a simple NSCoding-based cache. Soon we're ready for a full on database like YapDB or Realm or Core Data. Let's say that your onboarding flow is comprised of six different screens. Now it's comprised of five. Now those same five in a different order. This type of churn is to be expected in a young codebase. Today you're using Alamofire but tomorrow you might not be.
These are logical progressions for a new application to go through, and developing "correctly" by keeping these boundaries loosely coupled will facilitate making changes when it's most important to do so. Established codebases don't switch persistence mechanisms three times over the course of two months, but a new one very well might. As such, a decision that'd make a change like this overly difficult is exactly the type of debt that I won't tolerate no matter how fast I'm supposed to be moving.
Properly architecting may seem like it's going to be more time consuming, but in practice, it won't, as long as you're investing in the right approach. For a new codebase, I can't think of a tradeoff more important than keeping your components decoupled rather than worrying too much about their implementations. Design for change when your code is going to be at its most volatile.


They got ditched more in the next month than I did in two years of asking girls out in college.
Remember, this was September. Companies were looking to hire students who would join by June 2002. But everybody just "knew" that the economy was going into a tailspin for at least a year, and that was that. No jobs.
It's a question that bothered all of us when we were in college, and will no doubt be keeping students who've just joined college up at night: what will the economy look like when placement season starts?
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is one reason learning about GDP and its growth rate makes sense. It gives us a sense of where we, as an economy, are now, and where we are likely to be in the near future.
Outside of the specific trends in the sector that we are interested in, we are also very, very interested in how the "overall" economy is doing. It's like a doctor taking a patient's temperature. It's a convenient way of quickly assessing the overall health of the patient.
Similarly, while there are literally hundreds of other ways of gauging what is up with the Indian economy, one quick, near-universal method is to take a look at what the GDP growth rate has been over the past four quarters or so.
High (say about 7% or so in India's case) and steady (around 7% or so for the last four quarters running) is good. If either of those conditions aren't met – that is to say, it's either low now, or has been low in the recent past – you have cause for concern. If both of those conditions aren't met, and you are the placement coordinator for your college, say hello to insomnia.
People who're looking to launch a factory a couple of years from now, a company that has a half-built hotel that is going to come online six months from now, a person contemplating quitting her job and looking for a new one – anybody who's thinking of their (economic) future would do well to take a look at what the economic thermometer called GDP growth rate is up to.
In the next post, we'll take a look at how and where India's GDP is reported, and how to go about making sense of it. We'll also do a follow-up post on our Facebook page, where we'll post additional links, videos and podcasts that would be good follow-ups.

Q: Putting content to frontpage in Joomla 1.5 What should be changed in Joomla's database to put content to the frontpage?
I've got a great deal of articles and making it by hand would take a lot of time. So I'm looking for an automatic way.

A: The frontpage of Joomla is not a specific component. It can be any component, but defaults to the com_frontpage component in Joomla1.0 and com_content component in Joomla1.5.
Most likely what you want is to just export all your articles to the database. Take a look at your Joomla database to get an idea of it's structure.
You have jos_content and jos_sections and jos_categories which you want to insert data into.
Most importantly though is jos_content. Write a PHP file that takes each article, and just inserts that article into the jos_content table.

During his education at the art academy sound played an increasingly important role in the works of Olivier Nijs. In his first years after leaving Ateliers Arnhem several performances were given with the Olyfoon. An electric organ which was converted into some sort of 3D Melotron, switching a lot of little cassette players which were spread across the stage. The first attempt in creating 'Acoustic Cinema'. This idea of sound in the space around the audience and a sound without its image is still an important element in the present works.
After these first performances he was asked to take part in an alternative dance music project. In which he sampled and filtered his field recordings to blend in with synths and drum machines. During this period he also performed with a extended jazz orchestra and in several experimental theatre productions.
At the moment his main focus lies with pure field recording. In several conceptual projects the recordings, mostly in surround, are used or modified in different ways. The recording is never meant to be the final work. What it means to the listener is more of his interest.
Time, time perception and the limitations of the human senses are playing a central role in the concepts of the works. For many of the projects he developed his own software applications to be able to record or manipulate his recordings.


Just had a wee read of AT and I see that they are looking to hold the World Champs on Muckno in 2012. It should work to everyone's benefit as it will be getting well watched, it should also get a good clean up and some of the pathways round it should also get a bit of work done!!

How it affects the level of brain cholesterol in Alzheimer's
A new group of researchers from Scripps Research , in the United States, has used advanced mechanisms for obtaining images to analyze how the production of the beta amyloid protein , linked to Alzheimer's in the brain, is tightly regulated by the levels of cholesterol.
This new research work represents an advance to understand how Alzheimer's disease develops in the body and focuses on the role played by cholesterol cerebral about it, having been underestimated for a long time.
Dr. Scott Hansen, professor at the Department of Molecular Medicine, points out that "we show that cholesterol essentially acts as a signal in neurons that determines the amount of beta amyloid that is manufactured, and therefore it should not be surprising that apoE, which transports cholesterol to neurons, influences the risk of Alzheimer's. "
How does beta amyloid protein work?
This new research work analyzes the connection between cholesterol and the production of the beta amyloid protein. Thus, they focused on cholesterol produced directly by the brain through helper cells known as astrocytes.
In this way, they observed how it was transported by apoE proteins to the outer membranes of neurons. There, it seemed to help maintain clumps of cholesterol and related molecules colloquially called 'lipid rafts'.
It is necessary to clarify that lipid rafts are not well known today, especially because they are too small to obtain images with ordinary light microscopes.
Relationship of cholesterol and brain health
Specifically, this group of researchers carried out different experiments with aged and genetically modified mice to produce an excess of beta amyloid, develop beta amyloid plaques and to model Alzheimer's.
Thus, they were able to observe that when they deactivated the production of cholesterol from astrocytes in mice, the production of beta amyloid plummeted; while the beta amyloid plaques practically disappeared.
Furthermore, another traditional sign of Alzheimer's disease that is usually observed in these mice is the accumulation of aggregates entangled with a neuronal protein called tau; which also disappeared by deactivating the normal production of cholesterol.
Once the capacity of the cholesterol produced by astrocytes in the manufacture of beta amyloid has been verified, this research work suggests the need to continue analyzing this process in depth to prevent the progression of Alzheimer's.
But in addition, Dr. Hansen clarifies that the brain also requires cholesterol for other processes, such as maintaining alertness and cognition. "You cannot eliminate cholesterol in neurons, cholesterol is necessary to establish an adequate threshold for both amyloid beta production and normal cognition," argues the specialist.
As a conclusion, this research work suggests "the existence of a central mechanism, in which cholesterol intervenes, which could help explain why both beta-amyloid plaques and inflammation are so prominent in the brain with Alzheimer's disease" .
