Q: Method call resumes flow --Java My program calls for a menu requires the user's input to go to the correct method, and returns to the menu to allow other methods to be used or to quit the program
            System.out.println("Start of menu options");
            System.out.println("Enter your command (quit, print reverse, replace all, replace single, remove)");
            userChoice = sc.nextLine();
            if(userChoice.equalsIgnoreCase("print reverse")){
                printReverse(userString);

            }
            if(userChoice.equalsIgnoreCase("replace all")){
                replaceAll(userString);
            }
            if(userChoice.equalsIgnoreCase("remove")){
                remove(userString);
            }
            if(userChoice.equalsIgnoreCase("replace single")){
                replaceSingle(userString);
            }
            if(userChoice.equalsIgnoreCase("quit")){
                quit();
            }
            menu();

        }

The reverse() method returns the user to the menu without issue
            List<Character> temp = new ArrayList<>();
            for(char ch : a.toCharArray()){
                temp.add(ch);
            }
            Collections.reverse(temp);
            System.out.println("The new sentence is: "+temp.stream().map(i->i.toString()).collect(Collectors.joining()));
            menu();
        }

But the remaining methods all seem to bypass the scanner .nextLine() because they will end the program without the looping menu() command, but on the second loop through it will prompt for user input for the scanner call.
public static void replaceAll(String a){
            System.out.println("Enter Char");
            String charToBeReplaced = sc.next();
            System.out.println("New Char");
            String charReplacement = sc.next();
            userString = a.replaceAll(charToBeReplaced, charReplacement);
            System.out.println("Your new sentence is: " + userString);
            menu();
        }

Going through the debugger I can see that userChoice is empty by the time the program gets to checking if userChoice is equal to "quit" but the program runs the two println commands

A: Scanner.next has untill whitespace whereas Scanner.nextLine has untill \n.
For example)
First If you input str in replaceAll method, charToBeReplaced has str
next If you input str2,charReplacement have str2 and you may input enter \n when input str2. Because sc have \n, userChoice have \n.

GROOVIN THE MOO, at this point, has become an institution in Australia's hectic festival scene. Having survived the downfall of Big Day Out, Future Music and other ex-cornerstones of Australian live music, Groovin The Moo has shown time and time again why its impact is not about to be overshadowed anytime soon.
Taking live music to places around the country that it's seldom seen, GTM offers some of the best our country and other countries have to offer and this year is no exception. With a lineup sporting the likes of The Wombats and Violent Soho, this bill might be GTM's strongest yet and here are our picks for who you cannot miss when the festival kicks off this weekend.
An American musician with a venom-dipped tongue and complete bravado in her songwriting, K.FLAY is like Kiiara's more rebellious cousin. Her track 'FML' is bold, booming and sure to tear up the paddock over the next few weeks. Having just dropped her new record Every Where Is Some Where, K.Flay's refreshing take on both electronic music and alternative hip-hop is something we don't see often here in Australia so needless to say her set will be an explosive one.
The man behind your fav 2015 tune 'All My Friends', SNAKEHIPS has become a master of choosing his collaborators. Everyone from Chance the Rapper to ZAYN to MØ has hopped on a Snakehips tune and it's not difficult to see why. His attention for detail is never compromised by his tendency to craft festival-ready bangers and Groovin The Moo is the perfect place to whip them out.
Everything about GEORGE MAPLE just oozes confidence, sexiness and an element of danger. The entire existence of this Australian songstress radiates opulence, luxury and, in the best way possible, diva. Frequent collabs with fellow Aussie golden child What So Not as well as absolute bops like 'Talk Talk' and freshy 'Kryptonite' make George Maple a cannot-miss act at this year's festival, as she's set to bring her enigmatic stage presence to Australian stages once more.
Ever since the blissful listen that was breakout hit 'Permission To Love', life has treated HAYDEN JAMES very very well. His understated approach to dance music in Australia has set him apart – which is increasingly difficult to achieve these days. Between his aforementioned debut and all-conquering banger 'Something About You', Hayden James will take Groovin The Moo attendees on a mighty sonic journey and you'd be stupid not to join him.
Having just dropped one of 2017's more stellar EPs thus far in Fracture, SLUMBERJACK have set themselves up nicely for a booming set at this year's Groovin The Moo. The sonic quality of Fracture is a thing of marvel, pulling blissful collaborations with angel Vera Blue and Sydnee Carter just to name a few. Their music is relentless yet accessible, and we can't wait to see this new material translated to the festival scene.


Phú Quốc is a Vietnamese island off the coast of Cambodia in the Gulf of Thailand. It's known for white-sand beaches and resorts, most of which are along the palm-lined southwest coast. More than half of the island is part of Phú Quốc National Park, which features mountains, dense tropical jungle, hiking trails and wildlife. Duong Dong is the largest town, with day and night markets selling crafts, produce and fish.

Zi Faámelu, autrefois connue sous le nom de Boris Aprel (en russe : Борис Апрель ; en ukrainien : Борис Апрєль), puis Ziandzha, née le 12 décembre 1990 à Tchernomorskoe en Crimée, est une chanteuse et auteure-compositrice ukrainienne qui a participé au projets de télévision ukrainiens Fabrika Zirok 2 et Fabrika.Superfinal. Elle a une tessiture vocale de 4 octaves.

Début de carrière
Dès son plus jeune âge, Boris Aprel aimait la musique, c'est pourquoi ses parents l'ont inscrit à l'école locale de musique où on lui enseigna le chant. Sa première apparition publique eut lieu à l'âge de neuf ans dans des concours de chanson de sa ville natale.

Vers l'âge de quinze ans, Boris a définitivement choisi le métier de chanteur comme future profession. Mais ses parents étaient catégoriquement contre car ils trouvaient que leur fils devait suivre une formation plus sérieuse telle que celle de juriste, économiste ou écologiste. Quand Boris comprit que persuader ses parents serait impossible, il décida de mentir. À seize ans, il raconta à ses parents qu'il allait entrer à l'université économique Tavritchevski à Simferopol. Mais en réalité, il est allé en secret à Eupatoria d'où il est parti pour Kiev.

Dans la capitale ukrainienne, Boris a donné les documents d'inscription à l'université nationale de la culture et des arts de Kiev dans la section chant. N'étant pas pris du premier coup, Boris avec le temps est devenu quand même étudiant de la prestigieuse école dans la spécialité « management de l'industrie du spectacle ». À Kiev, n'ayant pas d'amis ni de connaissances, Borya vécut sa première semaine à la gare ferroviaire. Plus tard, il loua une pièce et pour joindre les deux bouts, il trouva un poste de distributeur de tracts. Pendant tout ce temps, il téléphonait à ses parents et leur disait qu'il apprenait à Simferopol en cours préparatoires. Mais au bout de trois semaines, ils apprirent la vérité et acceptèrent son choix.

Fabrika Zirok 2
En septembre 2008 débute la célèbre émission Fabrika Zirok 2. En apprenant la nouvelle et ayant regardé la première saison, Boris s'est rendu au casting et s'est préparé soigneusement à la sélection. C'est à cette occasion qu'il devint clairement androgyne et prit le nom de scène Boris Aprel. La présence, le charisme et l'apparence vive du participant ont produit une forte impression sur le jury, qui, pour accepter Boris dans le projet, transgressèrent une des règles principales : l'âge minimal des participants.

Dès le début, les relations avec les habitants de « la maison Stellaire » sont difficiles, car son apparence inhabituelle et extraordinaire et ses manières surprenaient. De ce fait, certains n'hésitaient pas à l'insulter ce qui parfois arrivait jusqu'à la bagarre. Boris, qui à l'école s'est habitué à l'incompréhension des contemporains s'était moralement préparé à une telle confrontation.

La popularité de Boris Aprel grandit vite. À la fin de la Fabrika Zirok 2, il reçut le prix spécial des plus grandes sympathies des lecteurs de la revue "Telesem". Il a chanté pendant le projet avec des chanteurs ukrainiens, russes et occidentaux, tels que Serge Lama, Evgenia Vlasova, Ruslana, Valeriya, le groupe BiS, le groupe Morandi, etc. Finalement Boris Aprel est devenu un des finalistes de Fabrika Zirok 2 mais il n'a obtenu que la troisième place dans le vote des spectateurs.

Après le projet
Après la fin de la Fabrika Zirok 2, Boris commença la tournée ukrainienne des candidats. Il obtient par la suite de nombreux prix comme "artiste extraordinaire ukrainien de l'année" ainsi que le "microphone de cristal" à la nomination "Énigme de l'année".

Plus tard, Boris s'est essayé aussi au titre de présentateur de télévision dans le talk-show de la jeunesse de "Nashchadki" (Les Héritiers) mais cette expérience fut brève.
La popularité de Boris grandit, de nombreuses jeunes fans se peignent les cheveux en blanc, et le copient son style. Dans l'industrie du spectacle il y a aussi "des clones" de Boris Aprel, qui imitent sa manière et son apparence. Ainsi, Sergueï Galoyan connu pour être le coproducteur du groupe t.A.T.u., créa un nouveau groupe nommé "Iyul" dont les jeunes filles avaient de longs cheveux blonds, et qui par l'image scénique et les costumes, rappelaient beaucoup le chanteur de la Fabrika Zirok.

Fabrika.Superfinal
En avril 2010 a commencé un nouveau projet de télévision appelé «Fabrika.Superfinal», dans lequel on a pu retrouver les participants les plus appréciés des trois saisons de Fabrika Zirok y compris Boris Aprel. Déjà avant le projet, les médias lancent la rumeur selon laquelle Boris serait atteint d'anorexie. Au premier prime de "Fabrika.Superfinal" l'artiste étonne les spectateurs de sa maigreur extraordinaire et de son aspect aminci. Malgré cela, il s'est produit avec succès lors de ce premier prime et il a reçu les bonnes estimations du jury. Au total Boris Aprel' a pris part à six primes du projet et a chanté 6 chansons. Les spectateurs et le jury a remarqué la croissance professionnelle considérable de Boris par rapport à la deuxième saison de Fabrika Zirok.
Le 4-ème concert de "la Superfinale". Après l'intervention avec Reguina.

La popularité extraordinaire de Boris Aprel, comme "Fabrika Zirok 2", engendra des jalousies de la part des autres concurrents et les relations difficiles à l'intérieur du projet débutèrent. On peut à nouveau entendre des injures et des paroles indélicates. Mais le plus désagréable, au dire de l'artiste, et que d'autres personnes liées à l'organisation du projet ne le défendirent plus et allèrent parfois jusqu'à l'humilier pendant les directs.
Le 11 avril 2010, d'après les résultats des votes, Boris Aprel a quitté le projet. L'artiste a éprouvé cela assez douloureusement. Le lendemain il a pris part à l'action de bienfaisance en transmettant les objets et les jouets à une des assistances publiques. Les admirateurs de l'artiste ne souhaitèrent pas se résigner à son départ du projet et manifestèrent pendant des jours et des jours devant les studios afin que Boris puisse réintégrer la Fabrika.Superfinal.

Finalement, les organisateurs du projet prirent la décision de le réintégrer. Cependant le 25 avril, la présentatrice du projet Maria Efrosinina annonça pendant le prime que Boris Aprel a totalement disparu. Boris n'était pas à la maison, ne répondait pas aux coups de téléphone et même ses proches ne connaissaient pas l'endroit où il se trouvait. Ce n'est que le 6 mai qu'on le retrouve dans une des cliniques de Kiev.

En effet, l'artiste accepta très difficilement le départ de la Fabrika.Superfinal, mais ce furent les paroles particulièrement blessantes, qu'il entendit dans la coulisse qui firent déborder le vase. «Je voyais le ciel devenir sombre. Les nuages se condensaient et se condensaient, mais quand tout est devenu insupportable, je me suis enfui. Ce n'était pas un jeu de cache-cache, mais une réaction protectrice. Je voulais me cacher de tout le monde, personne ne pouvait ni me voir ni m'entendre...». Selon le récit de l'artiste, il s'est enfermé d'abord chez lui, mais quand ses amis sont venus le voir, il s'est enfui et s'est ensuite caché un certain temps dans la maison de campagne des amis de ses parents. Plus tard il est allé en Crimée, mais pas chez ses parents, puis est allé quelques jours à Yalta chez son amie Natalia Mogilevskaya. À ce moment-là, il était physiquement et mentalement épuisé c'est pourquoi l'assistance médicale l'installa dans la clinique à Kiev, où les médecins diagnostiquèrent une anorexie nerveuse.

Les producteurs lui donnent alors l'opportunité de réintégrer le projet, mais il est trop fatigué. C'est seulement le 23 mai, lors du concert final de "Fabrika.Superfinal" qu'il apparait pour la première fois devant le public depuis sa disparition énigmatique. Au cours de son absence, Boris a changé entièrement d'apparence. Il apparait les cheveux blancs coupé et teint en brun dans des vêtements sombres et avec un visage sévère. Au concert final, il a exécuté sa nouvelle chanson "Inkognito", qu'il a écrite au cours de son absence. Après sa performance, Boris s'est exprimé assez rudement à l'adresse du présentateur Andreï Domanski.

Il expliqua par la suite qu'il avait décidé de dire au revoir à son ancienne apparence car celle-ci ne lui apportait que du tort. Ce changement d'apparence lui fit perdre de nombreux fans qui n'arrivèrent plus à voir en lui le Boris qu'ils avaient tant soutenu.

Amazing Grace first worshipped together March 31, 2002 (Easter Sunday). The previous name of the church was New Creation Christian Church.
Pastor Byron Singleton began New Creation in October 2000, starting with a small core group of believers. The church worshipped at 56th and Pine in Tacoma at that time. New Creation moved to a facility at 19th and Mildred (the community center at Tahoma Vista Village) in January 2002, and changed its name to Amazing Grace in March of that year.
Pastor Mark Latham has been senior pastor at Amazing Grace since January 2003.
Amazing Grace moved to the chapel at Northwest Baptist Seminary in April 2006 (NBS is now known as Corban University). This beautiful facility is on the grounds of the old Weyerhaueser mansion in north Tacoma. What an awesome blessing that was!
Amazing Grace has been situated at 7244 S Oakes St. since May 2010. This facility provides the congregation with greater opportunity to reach out into the neighborhood in a more deliberate manner. With 24x7 worship center availability we now have an expanded ministry and more local interaction.
Note that pastor Latham occupies the position of secretary. When congregation size and talent allow then the reigns of secretary will be taken up by another individual.
To contact any of these individuals please send messages through the church office.
Currently one congregational business meeting is held per year, the 2nd Sunday in February (avoids the Super Bowl!), this to affirm the board and to conduct other church business.

On a spiritual level Jessica Williams will experience a different mode altogether. Her attention should turn to others and their needs, find ways to be of help and give time and energy to worthwhile causes.

This is a time of completion, problems can be solved and over with, strained relationships relax or disappear, the sources of stress in work or business can be better understood and dealt with. Jessica Williams needs to be social and communicative, enjoy music and other arts. Her creativity is higher than usual.
There can be some difficulties during 2023 due to Jessica's desire to face obstacles and overcome them. Decisions have to be taken and courage and strength may be severely tested several times. This is not going to be an easy year all the time but Williams will feel relieved and on the brink of a positive breakthrough by the end of this year.
This is the end of a nine year Epicycle and Jessica Williams will feel many times the excitement of a new and promising era when optimism is her friend, but she will also experience the fear of letting go. However, the more Jessica lets go the more room there is to be filled during the next Epicycle.
Let's take a look now at Jessica's monthly forecast for February 2023.

Bayside City Council have announced that they will adopt the Planning Panel's recommendations on C126 Amendment which will ensure building height controls are discretionary rather than mandatory in certain designated areas. This comes after several changes and delays to the amendment which included two public exhibitions following concerns from the public over its lack of justification and non-consistency with planning policy and the Victoria Planning Provisions.
The new amendment was bought in to implement the Bayside Small Activity Centre Strategy 2014 into the Bayside Planning Scheme by introducing new planning scheme policies, rezoning specific areas and replacing Design and Development Overlays in 31 small shopping centres. Bayside City Council introduced the amendment to ensure that development of what the council identified as 'Small Activity Centres' was kept minimal to moderate and protected against building heights over a certain storey.
However the amendment has not been without controversy. In 2017 the amendment was exhibited to the public who were invited to make submissions. There were numerous submissions made to Bayside regarding the amendment. As is the required statutory process, an independent planning panel was then appointed to consider the submissions and issued their report and recommendations which can be read in full here.
Many of the public submissions that were made were critically of the amendment brought into question the strategic planning behind it. The most contentious part being the mandatory building height restrictions in the Small Activity Centres that were proposed in the changes to the Design and Development Overlays. This meant that planning permits would not be issued to buildings over a certain height which included 9 metres (2 storeys) in Design and Development Overlay Schedule 13 and 11 metres (3 storeys) in Design and Development Overlay Schedule 14. This was seen to be unwarranted and too restrictive.
However due to the high number of submissions from the public following the initial exhibition, the council commissioned further studies in 2017. These informed additional changes to the amendment which was then re-exhibited. 170 submissions were made to the council overall.
Bayside City Council held a meeting on the 19 March 2019 where they discussed the newest recommendations from the Panel. It was concluded from the meeting that Bayside would adopt the Panel's recommendations which ensured discretionary rather than mandatory height controls in the majority of Smaller Activity Centres. Along with revisions to the Bayside Small Activity Centre Strategy 2014.
However, in their meeting the council concluded to 'immediately commence' a further study that would support the mandatory building height requirements in Small Neighbourhood Activity Centres which have not been supported by the Planning Panel.
So what does this mean for planning permit applications?
The new amendment does not officially come into effect until it has been submitted and approved by the Minister of Planning which will most likely take some time. Therefore planning applications that are already on Bayside City Council's planning register or are going to be lodged soon should not, in theory, be restricted by these amendments.
However as council are the ones deciding on applications they usually will adopt the amendments before they have been approved by the Minster of Planning as it is assumed that the amendments will be approved and so council want to adopt the new planning controls as soon as possible to stop permit being issued that are inconsistent with the new planning regulations.

DOJ Threatens More Migrant Family Separations After Judge's Scathing Ruling
LOS ANGELES, CA - JULY 09: Young U.S. citizen Sergio Montana, 3, originally from Mexico, holds an American flag during a citizenship celebration for young people conducted by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service... LOS ANGELES, CA - JULY 09: Young U.S. citizen Sergio Montana, 3, originally from Mexico, holds an American flag during a citizenship celebration for young people conducted by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) on July 9, 2018 in Los Angeles, California. USCIS presented citizenship papers at the L.A. Public Library to around 60 young people who received their citizenship when their parents naturalized.

July 10, 2018 11:01 a.m.
In the wake of a federal judge slapping down the Trump administration's attempt to roll back decades-old protections for children in immigration detention, the Trump administration is threatening to present migrant parents with a choice between indefinite detention with their children or continued separation — leaving out the third option used by previous administrations of supervised release.
"The court does appear to acknowledge that parents who cross the border will not be released and must choose between remaining in family custody with their children pending immigration proceedings or requesting separation from their children so the child may be placed with a sponsor," Justice Department spokesman Devin O'Malley said in a statement Monday night.
The Trump administration argued unsuccessfully in a California federal court that they should be allowed to modify the Flores settlement — a 1997 ruling upheld in 2016 that states that immigrants younger than 18 years old can't be held in immigration custody for longer than 20 days. It also set standards for the food, medical care and other conditions of their detention, saying the government can't hold children in facilities that can't pass state child welfare licensing regulations.
Without revealing whether or not the administration plans to appeal the ruling to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, O'Malley said: "We disagree with the court's ruling declining to amend the Flores Agreement to recognize the current crisis of families making the dangerous and unlawful journey across our southern border."
But the fiery Monday night ruling from U.S. District Court Judge Dolly Gee did not give the administration the green light for indefinite detention and separations the DOJ is claiming.
In fact, she wrote that even if there were an immigration "crisis" as the administration claims — an assertion not supported by data — this "does not support a blanket non-release policy." She later added that "absolutely nothing prevents Defendants from reconsidering their current blanket policy of family detention and reinstating prosecutorial discretion" — referring to past administrations' policy of allowing the majority of immigrant families who are not considered a danger or a flight risk to be freed on supervised released until their immigration or asylum hearings.
Gee also shot down the administration's argument that it is forced to indefinitely detain the families throughout their immigration proceedings, which could take months or years, because "families frequently fail to appear" in court when released.
"Executive Office of Immigration Review data shows that between 2001 and 2016, 86 percent of family detainees attended all of their court hearings," she wrote. "The evidentiary record is unclear as to the accuracy of Defendants' assertion."
Gee also took a dim view of the Trump administration's claim that her ruling upholding the Flores settlement in 2015, when the Obama administration was attempting to implement a form of long-term family detention, was responsible for a surge in illegal immigration.
The administration had tried to argue in court that the ruling spurred more parents to cross the border with their children "because it led arriving families to believe that Defendants would rather release them than separate the children from their families."
The data on border crossings in the intervening years, Judge Gee shot back, "do not establish that the Court's July 24, 2015 Order in any way caused this 'surge.' Defendants' reasoning suffers from the 'logical fallacy of post hoc, ergo propter hoc.' Literally, 'after this, therefore because of this.'" It is much more likely, she added, that the uptick in Central American migration was caused by "civil strife, economic degradation, and fear of death in the migrants' home countries." The underwhelming evidence the administration presented, she concluded, had "failed to show that detaining families would deter future illegal border crossings."
Still, President Trump doubled down Tuesday morning on the idea of the family separations as a deterrent to immigration, saying the message of the policy was "We have laws. We have borders. Don't come to our country illegally."

Uboot is a recreation of a submarine. Design is ok with some nice submarine rooms and tight corridors. Submarine looks even better once you get out of it. But as a dukematch level it doesn't work (at least against bots). There are no other weapons than pistol. Or there is somewhere but I couldn't find any other guns. Level also has locations which are hard to reach. I couldn't find a way to a lower floor of the submarine (neither could bots). There is also another submarine which can't be reached easily or by bots. There's also this strange desert area with some hallways under the sand but I couldn't find a way to that sector (possibly not even a part of the level). So as a recreation of a nuclear submarine - the levels is nice. As a dukematch level - it doesn't work. By the way: author spent two years making this level. Give it a try.
31.5.2002: New version. I found some ways to enter lower levels of the submarine and I even found a way to weapons room (there's only one place in this level to find guns). It was nice to explore the lower level but these changes doesn't affect gameplay. Bots still can't get below (I actually saw one bot on the lower level). One point more to old score. Download new version here.
14.11.2002: Some graphical updates. New version & info can be found here: http://www.oscilloworld.de/uboot.htm.

Soorma movie review: Diljit Dosanjh nails his role as Sandeep Singh; Angad Bedi, Taapsee Pannu deliver measured performance
By Kunal GuhaKunal Guha, Mumbai Mirror | Updated: Jul 13, 2018, 12:04 IST
11soorma1
Critic's Rating: 3.5/5
Cast: Diljit Dosanjh,Taapsee Pannu,Angad Bedi,Danish Hussain,Vijay Raaz,Kulbhushan Kharbanda
Direction: Shaad Ali
Genre: Biopic,Sport
When the eponymous sardarji as a preteen swings a stick at a rock to propel it across the field and terrify a flock of birds, it's evident — he has what it takes. Years later, his brother educates him that his method of keeping feathery creatures off the field is actually a 'drag flick' — a masterstroke in hockey that even seasoned players struggle to execute. But this biopic on former Indian hockey captain Sandeep Singh, also known as Flicker Singh, is not a conventional sports film. It does detail his tumultuous journey of trouncing the odds and his meteoric success littered with setbacks. But it is essentially a love story as Singh's drive for excellence for a large part of his sporting career is fuelled by his desire to unite with his love interest.
Angad Bedi on Soorma: Recreating the emotional moments in Bikramjeet Singh's life was difficult
The film ushers us into the life of Sandeep Singh (Diljit Dosanjh), an aimless adult from Shahabad. Singh dotes on his elder brother Bikramjeet (Angad Bedi) who aspires to represent his country in hockey. When challenged by a PYT, Singh is drawn to the game he had forsaken during his childhood to evade the cruel punishments delivered by the coach. The film follows the accidental athlete as he takes every blow, only to rise again with his eyes firmly on the goal.
It's difficult to imagine anyone but Dosanjh as Sandeep Singh. The actor internalises the penalty specialist's towering highs and crushing lows to render a knockout performance. When he shoots a nervous smile to that special someone or exchanges a fixed glare with an aggressive opponent on the field, he is all heart. Soorma also details the ability to gulp down rejection with the same relish as success. Following years of gruelling prep, when a sportsman doesn't make the cut, it can be heart-wrenching. Bedi who plays Sandeep's elder brother Bikramjeet conveys this emotion with much sensitivity. His most memorable scene is the one when his character learns that his brother has been picked for the Indian squad — an unrequited dream of his own. His cracked voice conveys a rush of emotions and he wells up, unable to contain himself. Taapsee Pannu's doe-eyed Harpreet manages it all — the coy, the determined and the unflinching.
Soorma actor Taapsee Pannu: I hope I have made Sandeep Singh proud
Director Shaad Ali's job here was limited to staging — laying out the events to evoke a range of emotions. After all, Sandeep Singh's eventful life offered an inspiring tale of overcoming obstacles to reach one's potential. Ali intensifies the falls and amplifies the sufferings to an extent that the inevitable win has a bittersweet tinge. If he could've cut down some of the bhangra and a bit of melodrama, this could've been a much crisper watch.
With filmmakers climbing over each other to churn out biopics on everyone between Narain Karthikeyan to N T Rama Rao, one wonders if most are warranted and would be recalled with the same fondness and fascination that they have been filmed. A benevolent tribute to a life-less-ordinary may make for a compelling watch but are the cinematic liberties taken to glorify events even justified? Surely, fiction has the licence to deconstruct as long as it delivers. But the argument holds as this account is archived not just for posterity but also for reference. It is the version that future generations who have not been privy to the minute deviances, will turn to. In this respect, Soorma applauds a deserving figure who has received national honours but sadly, hasn't been celebrated with the same fervour. A worthy hat-tip!
Soorma: Sandeep Singh says, 'Films made on sports can solve drug problem in India'


What is the Cost of Living in Retirement?
There are many factors that play into an older adult's decision about which independent living community to choose. One of the most influential, however, is the cost of housing. Depending on individual savings and retirement funds, people have different budgetary allowances and therefore varied possibilities for housing.
Do you know what the standard costs for retirement living are? Having a baseline understanding can help you determine what option is best for you, and whether you should investigate external funding.
At Elmcroft Senior Living Communities, assisted living and personal care options come with reasonable daily rates that vary depending on a resident's care needs or preference for a private room. Memory care services are a bit more expensive, but again depend on how much assistance is required and the type of apartment chosen.
Seniors interested in independent living options can enjoy the freedom of having their own space combined with the peace of mind that comes with having people on hand to assist in case of emergencies.
After a fall or an accident, seniors may require rehabilitation services to help them heal quickly and properly.
As rates are flexible and variable, please review our payment options and contact a representative to further discuss costs and financing options.
Naturally, these prices may increase as a person makes unique requests, such as additional services or exceptions, such as having a live-in pet. Dietary needs that require special preparation or ingredients may also contribute to a higher end price. Speaking with management within a retirement community can help you and your loved one make decisions that are well-suited to their lifestyle and needs, and fit within their budget for cost of living in retirement.
Financial aid for retirement living may be available through both public and private programs, including Medicare, Medicaid, long term insurance or veteran's assistance.

US military strategy fails when religious liberty is ignored
By Phil Lawler ( bio - articles - email ) | May 30, 2012 | In Reviews
On Memorial Day, appropriately enough, I finished reading a new history of World War II: The Storms of War, by Andrew Roberts. Having examined some of the strategic errors that Hitler made, and traced their consequences, Roberts concludes by reminding his readers that the war could have turned out very differently. With a sound strategic plan, Germany might have prolonged the war, causing even more bloodshed and devastation. And if he had been a truly brilliant strategist, Hitler might have won the war in Europe, leaving the US alone to face an increasingly powerful Nazi war machine.
To think of Europe as a united Nazi empire is truly frightening. It is a reminder, too, that in World War II the issues were unusually clear. Ordinarily the moral questions in warfare are more complicated. Each nation thinks its cause is just, and while historians eventually may choose a favorite, there is often a plausible minority argument for the righteousness of other side. Not so with World War II. Hitler had molded a monstrous regime with even more monstrous ambitions. He had to be stopped. The US and Britain were unquestionably on the right side, morally speaking. (The involvement of the Soviet Union—which was utterly essential to the Allied victory—was far more morally ambiguous.) The likely consequences of a Nazi victory were unthinkable.
There was never any question what victory in Europe would mean for the Allies in World War II: the defeat of Germany and the destruction of the Nazi regime. With a just cause and a clear goal, Americans could—and did, and still do—look upon the soldiers who fought in World War II as heroes. Even now, more than a half-century later, we tend to think first of the World War II veterans when we honor the Americans who have died in battle.
American troops have gone to war several times since those days, but never with the same bright clarity of purpose. We battled to a stalemate in Korea, suffered a humiliating rout in Vietnam, and now are engaged in murky, confusing struggles in Iraq and Afghanistan. We may have identified a dangerous enemy—Communism—in Korea and Vietnam, but as a nation we did not have a clear conception of what victory would entail, or whether we were prepared to pay the costs necessary to achieve it. In Iraq it was easy enough to see Saddam Hussein as the villain, but much more difficult to identify any allies we were anxious to support. In Afghanistan, similarly, we know that we are fighting against the Taliban; but who are we fighting for?
Reflecting on these matters, as I read The Storms of War, I found myself wondering whether the lack of clarity about our military adventures might reflect a deeper problem with American policy-making. Is it possible that we have trouble defining our strategic goals because we are unclear about our own guiding principles? At the conclusion of his book, Andrew Roberts argues that Hitler's strategic errors were not random; they were products of his warped Nazi ideology. Hitler's strategic decisions were wrong, in several crucial instances, because his goals were wrong. Using a similar logic, might we conclude that American military strategy would be more successful if we had clear and righteous foreign-policy goals?
The US is committed to a foreign policy that defends human rights. Yet in the countries where our troops have been fighting during the past decade, one fundamental human right—the right to religious freedom—has been diminished rather than enhanced, particularly for Christians. In Iraq the Christian minority is in flight, hounded and intimidated by Islamic extremists. In Pakistan—a nation that was supposedly our ally—the Christian minority is brutally oppressed. In Afghanistan the government that we are defending prohibits our troops from importing religious literature.
In response to the uprisings of the "Arab Spring," American foreign policy has betrayed the same weakness. In Egypt and again in Syria we have given our backing to rebels who sought to oust a military regime and promote democratic reforms. To be sure the Mubarak and Assad regimes were corrupt and oppressive. But we had reason to be worried, too, about the Islamic forces that were likely to replace them. It is instructive that in both countries, Christian leaders were distinctly unenthusiastic about the prospects of regime change—not because they were cozy with the old governments, but because they were fearful of the alternatives.
Look around the world, to the countries were American troops have fought and died during the past 50 years. Is there one in which religious liberty has been strengthened? If US troops are fighting for freedom, why does religious freedom suffer in each military campaign?
Sound principles lead to sound policies; sound policies produce sound strategies. An American foreign policy founded on human rights cannot be successful unless we are fully committed to all human rights, beginning with religious freedom.

Tesla just delivered its first China-built cars in Shanghai
Tesla Inc. is about to find out whether the second time is the charm for Elon Musk making bold predictions about how many cars the company can build and sell.
The electric-car maker handed over the first 15 Model 3 sedans assembled at its new multibillion-dollar plant near Shanghai — its first factory outside the United States — to employees at the facility Monday. Tesla took the same approach when it started production of the sedan in California in July 2017, delivering its first Model 3s to staff members.
After reaching that milestone more than two years ago, Tesla went through months of what Musk called production hell. After consistently falling well short of the chief executive's ambitious targets, Tesla burned through billions of dollars and came within weeks of running out of money.
Investors have been betting this time will be different, with Tesla shares on a tear since the company reported a surprise quarterly profit in late October. The carmaker is on much steadier footing, having worked out the kinks that limited initial production of the Model 3 and managing to far outpace sales of many other automakers' electric vehicles. The China plant is already assembling more than 1,000 cars a week and aims to double that rate over the next year, according to Song Gang, the facility's manufacturing director.
Despite all the progress made, there are still doubters. Jeffrey Osborne, an analyst at Cowen & Co., predicted Monday that Tesla will fall short of the low end of its delivery forecast for this year. He predicts the company will hand over about 101,000 vehicles in the fourth quarter, coming roughly 4,000 units short of its annual target of at least 360,000.
Tesla shares slid 3.6% Monday. The stock is still up more than 62% since the company reported third-quarter earnings Oct. 23.
Osborne, who rates Tesla the equivalent of a sell, is skeptical that demand for the Model 3 will continue at current rates. He's concerned consumers will be less interested in the car as subsidies drop in China and the Netherlands and as a federal tax credit expires in the United States.
"The large amount of over exuberance related to the demand for Tesla's products in the mid to long term has increased over the past few months, and we believe much more successful penetration is baked into the stock than is likely to play out," Osborne wrote in a report. "While Tesla has built a very dedicated fanbase that has been willing to excuse poor build quality, customer service, and service infrastructure, we continue to be skeptical around broader adoption."
Tesla's stock decline starkly contrasts the jubilant mood at the company's ceremony to mark the first deliveries of Model 3s assembled near Shanghai.
A crowd of about 200 people, including media members and employees, gathered inside the plant to clap and cheer as Tom Zhu, Tesla's head of the greater China unit, handed over the first cars. One employee receiving a car presented it to his girlfriend along with flowers and proposed to her. She accepted with a nod, and they kissed. More workers will receive vehicles over the next couple of days, and deliveries to customers will start in January, company officials said.
The Chinese plant represents a cornerstone of Musk's plans to make Tesla a truly global carmaker. Last month the company announced plans to build a factory in Germany to cater to burgeoning European demand for electric vehicles.
The China plant could also help Musk build on recent momentum for the company in the world's largest market both for electric vehicles and autos in general. The Model 3 will compete with electric offerings from local manufacturers including NIO Inc. and Xpeng Motors, as well as global companies such as BMW and Daimler.
Demand for the China-built Model 3 is "very good," and Tesla is confident it will sell all vehicles manufactured at the site, Allan Wang, general manager of Tesla China, said at the plant. "Our aim is to kill all internal-combustion engine cars."
Although deliveries to customers haven't started, Monday's milestone caps several months of wins for Musk. The latest came Friday, when the locally built car was included on a list of vehicles qualifying for an exemption from a 10% purchase tax in China.
Tesla said in October the locally built Model 3 will be priced from about $50,000. On top of the tax exemption announced Friday, the China-built model this month qualified for a government subsidy of as much as about $3,600 per vehicle.
Tesla's original car factory — and, for years, its only one — in Fremont, Calif., spent months trying to hit a 1,000 weekly rate. Musk has said a weekly production rate of 3,000 at the China plant is a target at some point.
The China factory broke ground at the start of this year. Originally just a muddy plot about a 90-minute drive from Shanghai's city center, it is now a crucial test of Musk's bid to prove Tesla can be consistently profitable.
As part of its China expansion, Tesla plans to add dozens of locations in the country over the next year for showcasing its vehicles and providing charging and other services, Xue Juncheng, director of China aftersales, said at the ceremony.
The company may lower the price of the sedans made in China by 20% or more next year as it starts using more local components and reduces costs, people familiar with the matter have said.
About 30% of the parts used by the Shanghai facility are sourced locally, and the company plans to increase that to 100% by the end of 2020, said Song, the manufacturing director.

Six People Injured in Oceanside (CA) Fire
Half a dozen people, including a police officer and a child, were injured late Tuesday night after a fire at an Oceanside apartment building, reports NBC San Diego.
The fire at Briarcrest Apartments happened shortly before 10:30 p.m. at the 3900 block of Waring Road.
Before officers got to the fire, a mother safely dropped her three-year-old son from a second floor balcony to a Good Samaritan below, Oceanside Police said. That Good Samaritan, a neighbor, helped the mother out of the apartment after catching her son.
Officers arrived to find heavy smoke billowing from inside the apartment, where officers were told that people were still inside. Once the officer entered the apartment, he dragged an unconscious person lying on the floor out of the building.
Once he was out, the officer was nearly overcome by smoke inhalation. He handed his flashlight to Jonathon Alvarez, a neighbor. Alvarez looked inside to find another unconscious person still inside. Alvarez helped the officer pull out another unconscious victim from the apartment.
The two elderly people trapped inside the apartment were both unconscious and in critical condition. They were airlifted to the UC San Diego Medical Center Burn Center. The mother and her son were treated for smoke inhalation at the Tri-City Medical Center.
The officer was treated for smoke inhalation at a hospital and was under observation until Wednesday morning. Another person, a Good Samaritan assisting the officer, was also injured and treated.

"It was totally a surprise," Ray said. "I was expecting there would be winners and losers, but I was expecting the Upper Midwest to be a loser."
The study's authors, who controlled for improved farm technology and management, built a data set of yields for 10 major crops and weather over decades across the globe to figure out what effect the changing climate has had.
In much of the world, the effect has been negative. Global palm oil, barley, rice and wheat yields have fallen. Soybean yields in Western Europe have dropped 22% and corn yields in Eastern and Northern Europe have dropped by 25% as a result of climate change, according to the study.
Global corn yields have held steady despite the declines in Europe, thanks to improving conditions in South America, but soybeans have been a big winner across the world. Global soybean yields are up 3.5% as a result of a climate change, the study said. Much of that benefit falls to farmers in the Upper Midwest.
Sorghum, which in the U.S. is mostly grown in Great Plains states, has also enjoyed increased yields thanks to climate change, the study said.
Wheat yields have suffered in the Upper Midwest compared to a hypothetically cooler climate, but the crop has been overtaken by corn and soybeans in much of Minnesota, so the negative effects aren't widely felt.
"If you look at wheat for Minnesota, you see a negative effect, but wheat is not as important," Ray said. "For corn and soybeans it has been great."
Whether the changes to the climate will continue to benefit farmers in Minnesota and Iowa is another question, Ray said.
"At present we are sitting in a very nice climatic condition," he said. "I don't know if that will change."

Introducing Animals
Two newly identified dinosaurs donned weird horns
Grooves, spiky shield not previously seen in Triceratops relatives
DOUBLE TROUBLE Researchers have discovered two new species of dinosaurs with unusual horns.
Mark Witton; Mike Skrepnick
By Cassie Martin
Two newly discovered Triceratops relatives sported some peculiar headgear.
Researchers uncovered skull fragments of Machairoceratops cronusi in 77-million-year-old mudstone from the Wahweap Formation in southern Utah. Unlike other horned dinosaurs, the roughly 8-meter-long M. cronusi had two grooved horns with spatula-like tips bowed forward from the back of its neck shield. The grooves' function baffles researchers.
A different research team found a younger cousin of M. cronusi in Montana's Judith River Formation. Spiclypeus shipporum lived about 76 million years ago and had distinct brow horns that protruded sideways from its skull along with unusual spikes on its neck shield — some pointing outward, others bent forward. S. shipporum's distinct horns and spikes may have allowed individuals of the species to recognize one another, says Jordan Mallon, a paleobiologist involved in the research at the Canadian Museum of Nature in Ottawa.
The new finds add to the diversity among the herbivorous horned dinosaurs that roamed North America during the Late Cretaceous period. "We thought we knew most things [about horned dinosaurs]," says Eric Lund, a paleontologist at Ohio University in Athens who analyzed M. cronusi. "But we've just scratched the surface."
Papers detailing the new species were published May 18 in PLOS ONE.
A version of this article appears in the July 9, 2016 issue of Science News.

Egypt, the most populous country in the Arab world, claims one of the world's oldest cultures, descending from an ancient civilization that emerged in the 10th millennium BCE.
Widespread Middle East unrest in 2011 loosed grievances against the 30-year autocratic rule of President Hosni Mubarak, who was ousted following a dramatic period of protest that became a watershed moment in the Arab Spring. This upheaval paved the way for the country's first free parliamentary elections, in which the Muslim Brotherhood leader Mohamed Morsi was elected president. Subsequent protests against Morsi's authoritarianism led to a 2013 military coup d'etat and the election of former general Abdel Fattah el-Sisi as president in 2014.

Why study in Egypt?
The relatively low cost of living is certainly a major factor for students thinking of studying in Egypt. Cairo recieved the highest score for 'affordability' in the 2012 QS Best Student Cities, with only Mexico City coming close in this respect. But, while costs are an increasingly important issue for many students, there's more to Egypt's appeal as a destination for higher education – including five universities in the 2014/15 QS World University Rankings.
For many international students, studying in Egypt is also a chance to explore a culture very different to their own, and indeed unlike any other. Bridging north-east Africa and the Middle Eastern region, and with a Mediterranean coastline, Egypt offers a unique fusion of African, Arabic and Mediterranean cultures. This is of course also the home of some of the world's most renowned historic sites, including the Great Pyramids, the Temples of Karnak and the Valley of the Kings. Then there's the appeal of cruises on the Nile, sunbathing by the Mediterranean and Red Seas, and the vibrant urban centre that is Cairo itself.
The government has identified higher education as a priority, and is enacting a series of programs designed to make universities in Egypt more internationally competitive. Egypt currently has 20 public universities (with about two million students) and 23 private universities (60,000 students).
American University in Cairo
Founded in 1919, The American University in Cairo (AUC) has become an essential contributor to the intellectual, cultural and social life of Egypt. AUC has nearly 35,000 active alumni. Currently, some 6,500 students are enrolled in 36 undergraduate, 44 master's, and two doctoral programs. More than 16,000 students enroll each year in non-credit courses offered through AUC's School of Continuing Education. AUC maintains two campuses: its environmentally-conscious main campus in the suburbs of Cairo and its historical campus in downtown Cairo. AUC emphasizes research and innovation grounded in the liberal arts, and all undergraduate students study a common set of courses in the humanities and the natural and social sciences as part of the university's Core Curriculum. AUC is strongly committed to excellence, diversity, lifelong learning, social responsibility, and integrity in its programs and services. AUC degrees are accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education in the US and by the National Authority for Quality Assurance and Assessment of Education (NAQAAE) in Egypt, and many of its programs have specialized accreditation. The university is ranked among the top 450 universities worldwide, according to the London-based Quacquarelli Symonds (QS).
Cairo University
Cairo University has successfully been undertaking its mission of delivering education, research and cultural duties over the years. It is considered as the mother university among other younger universities in Egypt. Cairo University is also offering its education and research facilities to Arab and foreign students and scientists and has become well known world wide. Cairo University is a comprehensive institution of higher learning located in Giza, Egypt. CU is committed to preparing students for the challenges of rapidly changing workplace. Through interactive learning and information technologies, our graduates enter the work force with the skills needed to succeed in today's global marketplaces. Cairo University was established in 1908; currently it has 26 faculties/institutions in different scientific disciplines, with total volume of about 250000 students. Mission statement: Enhance university capabilities and potentialities through developing its human and financial resources, as well as improve the academic abilities of its staff members and their assistants, in order to prepare them for the age of science and technological revolution. In this respect, the university has adapted unconventional methods to develop the system of academic research in order to meet the needs of society and research and to encourage its scholars and researchers.
Ain Shams University
Ain Shams University, as the third Egyptian university, was founded in July 1950 under the name of "Ibrahim Pasha University". It participated with the two earlier universities, "Cairo University" (Fua'd the 1st ) and "Alexandria University" (Farouk the 1st) in fulfilling the message of universities and meeting the increasing demand of youth for higher education. When it was first established, Ain Shams University comprised a number of distinguished faculties and academic institutes, which were later developed into university.
After the revolution of the 23 rd of July 1952, it was suggested that Egyptian universities be given names that were strongly linked with the roots and historical landmarks of the country. Thus on 21 st of February, 1954 the name of the university was changed to "Heliopolis", and then changed in the same year to its present name "Ain Shams", the Arabic for "Heliopolis", or "O'n", which was the oldest university in history. "O'n" University was established about 5000 years ago, and it had a wide fame as a center of knowledge and learning, especially in astronomy, engineering and medicine. Perhaps a perfect example of the knowledge and skill of "O'n" teachers is Imhotep, the chief priest, minister, and architect, who in 2700 B.C. designed the first large structure of stone known in history, Zoser's Step Pyramid in Sakkara. Westcar Papyrus also states that the founder of the Fifth Dynasty was the Rector of "O'n" University before ascending the throne. However, the most important achievement of "O'n" University was the call for worshipping a single deity, the solar disk of Aton, at the hands of Akhenaton, who was influenced by the ideas of "O'n" priests.
The emblem of the university, the obelisk and two hawks, establishes a link between the name and the ancient history of the university. The obelisk stands for the house of life at the city of "O'n", whereas the two hawks are symbolic of Horus, the Egyptian god at that time.
The university is now located in the area of the Zaafaran Palace, built during the regime of Khedive Ismail. The Palace was so named because the area surrounding it was famous for saffron (in Arabic Zaafaran) plantations. The Palace was used to host the administration offices of the Egyptian University when it was established in 1925. It was used by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (as a guest house) for accommodating important visitors. The palace also witnessed the signing of the 1936 Treaty between Egypt and Great Britain. Finally in 1952, it came to be used as the administrative headquarters of Ain Shams University.
Being a major scientific and cultural institution, Ain Shams University is fully aware of these challenges and is certain that it has – with other Egyptian Universities – a difficult hard responsibility for the creation of the generation. That is aware and proud of its identity and traditions and is also ready for the creation of a better future for their country. In fact, Ain Shams University has played an undeniable role in developing the cultural and scientific life in Egypt and enriching human knowledge in general.
The university includes 15 faculties and 2 high institutes. In 1950, there were only eight faculties: faculty of Arts, faculty of law, faculty of Commerce, faculty of Science, faculty of Engineering, faculty of Medicine, faculty of Agriculture, and Women's college. In 1969, the faculty of Education, known since 1880 as Teachers' college, became the ninth faculty in the university. In 1973 the faculty of Al-Alsun was made the tenth member in the university. However, the history of this faculty dates back to 1835.
In 1994, a decree was issued for the establishment of two more faculties; the faculty of Pharmacy and the faculty of Dentistry, the actual study was started the following year in both faculties. In the same year, it was decided to establish the faculty of Computers and Information Sciences, and the study started the following year. The last faculty to join the university is the faculty of Specific Education, in 1998. Faculty of Nursing was established in 1980, and the Institute of Childhood Postgraduates Studies was established in 1981. The establishment of the Institute of Environmental Research and Studies was at 1982.
Ain Shams University comprises seven campuses, all of which are sited in Great Cairo. The university administration, faculties of Arts, Law and Science are all located in the main campus, El-khalifa El Mamoon Street, Abassia. The faculties of Commerce, Al-Alsun (languages), Pharmacy, Dentistry, Computer and Information Sciences, Institute of Postgraduate Childhood and Institute of Environmental Studies and Research, together with the specialized Hospital are located on the second campus on the other side of the aforementioned street. Faculty of Medicine and Faculty of Nursing together with the university hospitals are located in another campus at Abassia. Faculties of Engineering, Specific Education, Education, Women and Agriculture are located each on a separate campus in Abassia, Heliopolis and Shoubra El-Kheima, respectively.
Arabic Jāmiʿat al-Azhar, chief centre of Islamic and Arabic learning in the world, centred on the mosque of that name in the medieval quarter of Cairo, Egypt. It was founded by the Shīʿite (specifically, the Ismāʿīlī sect)Fāṭimids in 970 ce and was formally organized by 988. Its name may allude toFāṭimah, the Prophet's daughter, known as "al-Zahrāʾ" ("the Luminous"), from whom the Fāṭimid dynasty derives its name. The format of education at al-Azhar remained relatively informal for much of its early history: initially there were no entrance requirements, no formal curriculum, and no degrees. The basic program of studies was—and still is—Islamic law, theology, and the Arabic language.
An Ismāʿīlī centre of learning, al-Azhar fell into eclipse after Egypt's conquer bySaladin, founder of the Ayyūbid dynasty and a Sunni, in the second half of the 12th century. It was revived under the Mamlūks (1250–1517), however, and continued to thrive thereafter as a centre of Sunni scholarship. It was damaged in an earthquake in the early 1300s and subsequently repaired, and additions, alterations, and renovations to its structures were undertaken at various points throughout the 14th and 15th centuries, particularly in the later Mamlūk period, when it came under direct patronage.
With the defeat of the Mamlūks in 1517, substantial architectural projects were few until the mid-18th century; in spite of this, al-Azhar's significance continued, and under Ottoman rule it held preeminent status among Egyptian institutions of learning. Opposition to the French in the late 18th century led to an uprising in 1798 centred on al-Azhar, and as a result it was bombarded by the French and temporarily closed. Nineteenth-century reform at al-Azhar owed in part to the involvement of a number of individuals, including Jamāl al-Dīn al-Afghānī, who taught at al-Azhar in the 1870s and emphasized that modern science and other subjects were not incompatible with the Qurʾān, and Muḥammad ʿAbduh, who was influenced as a young intellectual by al-Afghānī and later proposed, as a member of a government committee, a number of broad measures for reforming al-Azhar. In the late 19th century, procedures, including admission requirements and examinations, were formalized, and a number of modern subjects—some of them obligatory—were introduced.
Al-Azhar was nationalized and again underwent substantial reforms in the early 1960s. Since that time, faculties such as those of medicine and engineering have been established; women were first admitted in 1962. The modern university offers a number of faculties, some of them for women, as well as regional facilities.
Alexandria University
In 1938, the nucleus of the Alexandria University had its beginning in the form of two satellite faculties of Fouad the First University. These were the faculties of Arts and Law. The faculty of Engineering was then established in 1941. In the light of the need for developing more disciplines for higher learning and with a view towards meeting the need of the people of Alexandria, Alexandria University, formerly known as Farouk University, became a separate entity in August 1942 with four additional faculties: Science, Commerce, Medicine and Agriculture. In 1952, it became "Alexandria University". Since then, the University witnessed growth and expansion in several fields: the number of Faculties and high institutes increased to 30. Some example of them are as follows: Faculty of Nursing, 1954 (formerly, High Institute of Nursing) Faculty of Pharmacy, 1956 High Institute of Public Health, 1963 Faculty of Education, 1969 Faculty of Dentistry, 1971 Medical Research Institute, 1971 Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, 1974 Institute of Graduate Studies & Research, 1983 Faculty of Tourism and Hotels, 1983 Alexandria University supervised the establishment of four satellite faculties in the Nile Delta.

Background: Ficus deltoidea Jack or locally known as Mas Cotek belongs to the family Moraceae is a conventionally used Malaysian native medicinal plant. Objectives: The aim is to determine the anti-inflammatory mechanism of various solvent fractions of F. deltoidea methanol extract against Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) inflammatory pathway in murine macrophage 264.7 cells and to identify the chemical constituents present in the active fraction. Materials and Methods: The effect of crude methanolic extract and its fractions (hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate, and butanol) on murine macrophages against LPS-induced pro-inflammatory cytokines (interleukin [IL]-Iβ, tumor necrosis factor alpha [TNF-α], and IL-6) and biomarkers were tested using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and immunoblot analysis. The chemical constituents present in the active fraction were identified using liquid chromatography mass spectrometry and liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry analysis. Results: The findings indicated that among all the fractions, the ethyl acetate fraction of F. deltoidea substantially inhibits the LPS-induced inflammatory mediators such as nitric oxide (NO) and pro-inflammatory cytokine production including TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1 β in a dose-dependent manner. The expression of inducible NO synthase, NO synthase, and cyclooxygenase-2 were also effectively downregulated by the treatment of ethyl acetate fraction. Moreover, it also suppressed the expression of LPS-induced NF-κB translocation correlated with the inhibition of NF-κB (inhibitor of kappa B alpha) degradation. The presence of bioactive phenolics, especially flavonoids such as catechin, vitexin, dodecadienyl coumaric acid, (epi)-afzelechin-(epi)-catechin, genistein, and apigenin derivatives were identified in the ethyl acetate fraction of F. deltoidea. Conclusion: Overall, it has been recommended that the ethyl acetate fraction of F. deltoidea could be utilized as a potential natural anti-inflammatory agent.

WordPress is a big project with a lot of developers working on it. It also has a huge amount of themes and plugins which are written by teams of developers or individual developers. When a project grows really big coding standards become more and more important. Coding standards in any project gives a similar look and feel to the complete code base which makes it much easier to maintain. People can understand the code written by some other person as it will still follow the standard. In case coding standards are followed it's even easier to understand your code if you revisit it after some period of time. It is even easier for new developers to follow through code of the project and understand what going on.
Coding standards keeps your code well spaced out and it makes which makes it easier to track errors if any. In this article we are going to check some of the coding standards and guidelines for WordPress. Knowing and understanding these standards will help you understand the WordPress core code much better when you browse through it. You should also follow these standards when trying to write a WordPress theme or plugin or even if you planning to contribute to WordPress core.
Let's begin with what are the recommended brace styles for WordPress coding. There have been always a lot of disputes of where to put braces and where one should not in many languages from c to c++ to java to php. According to the WordPress recommended standard we should place the brace on the same line as the statement and not on the next line.
Regarding braces being necessary for single line comments, WordPress standard recommends that one can do without braces for single line if statements provided the whole logical block does not have any multiline block. In case there is even one multiline block then we should use braces for all single and the multiline block.
In case of loops one should use braces irrespective if it contains a single line block or a multiline block.
Following is a function from the WordPress core and it is showing some of the details about the braces coding standard we just discussed above.
Now let's discuss about the naming conventions one should use for functions and classes in WordPress.
In case of defining classes the class name should be capitalized. In case there are multiple words you want to use in a class name you should capitalize each of them and separate them with an underscore.
File names should have all lower case. In case of multiple words they should be separated with hyphen. For e.g.:- the file name default-constants.php. In case of files which contain classes they should start with class- followed by the name of class in lowercase with each underscore replaced with a hyphen.
Following in some code from the WordPress core which highlights the naming convention we just discussed.
The WordPress standard regarding indentation is that we should use real tabs for indentation rather than spaces. This helps to maintain compatibility across various editors on different platforms. The indentation should be used to highlight the logical structure of the code which will make the code readable.
In case of associative array start each new item on new line. At the end of even the last element you should add a comma which would make it easy to change the order of elements in the array.
Following is some code in the WordPress core which highlights the things we discussed about indentation.
In case of PHP tags one should always use the full php tags and not use the short hand php tags. The php short hand tags are disabled on some servers and using short hand php tags might lead you into issues.
Following is some code from WordPress core showing the use of php full tag as we discussed.
For using quotes you can either use single or double quotes in your string .As a rule when you are evaluating something you should use double quotes otherwise use single quotes. In case you want to use one type of quotes in you string you should then use the other type of quotes to enclose your string. You should not need to use the escape quotes in your string.
In case you are using SQL queries in your code you should try to put in one line mostly. In case that's not possible for a complex query you should break it on multiple lines and indent the query appropriately.
The sql part in the query should always be in capital letters. One should use the $wpdb->prepare functions for adding parameters to the database query.
Following is the code from WordPress core which is showing an use of SQL statement which we discussed.
In case of conditions you should always put the variable on the right side of the condition. In case you mess up with the equal sign you will immediately get a php parse error and it will be easy for you to correct you error.
Following is code from the WordPress core which displays the condition as we discussed.
We have just seen some of the most important coding standards for WordPress in this article. These coding standards are strong guidelines to structure your code. Sometimes it might be a case that you have to divert from some of the guidelines above. In might be important to understand that why is it necessary (and it should be absolute necessary) to divert from the guideline.
In such cases you should even try to document it so that others and even you (may be after sometime) could return to that piece of code and understand why the decision of diverting from the guideline is taken. WordPress has a big community following. Keeping the same coding standards as all of them will really make your journey with WordPress really easy. So have fun while coding with WordPress.

"Where words fail,
music speaks."
To promote classical music to the youth of Lancaster County and encourage interest in symphonic music.
In 1953 a group of 13 women joined together to promote local symphony orchestras. Their first project was to sell beverages during intermission at a performance at a local high school. From that humble beginning has grown an organization supported in part by the Maude Bates Fund (begun in 1981) and the Barbara Little Endowment Fund (begun in 2002). While these two trusts help the WSA accomplish its mission, the support of the community, its partners and volunteers – people like you – is what fuels the inspiration of so many young people.
The Lasting Influence of a Music Education
Children who study a musical instrument are more likely to excel in all their studies, work better in teams, have enhanced critical thinking skills, stay in school, and pursue further education.
Children who study music tend to have larger vocabularies and more advanced reading skills than their peers who do not participate in music lessons.
Music lessons in childhood provide an added defense in advancing age against memory loss, cognitive decline, and diminished ability to distinguish consonants and spoken words.
Lancaster Symphony Orchestra
The core purpose of the Lancaster Symphony Orchestra is to enrich, entertain and educate the South Central Pennsylvania Community through unique live musical performances and to provide community engagement opportunities for students of all ages.
Allegro Orchestra Lancaster
Allegro has partnered with the Women's Symphony Association to bring a fresh and exciting new perspective to the Youth Instrumental Music Competition.
A non-profit charitable organization dedicated to raising awareness and resources to strengthen the roll that music plays in our schools and communities.
Gretna Music
Enriching the lives of audiences by bringing world-class musicians to perform great enduring music.
Music In The Community
How You Can Make A Difference
The Women's Symphony Association is hard at work in our community to promote classical music to young people and to encourage interest in symphonic music. With your help, the WSA can do even more to bring the classics to future generations. Become a WSA member, or become an individual/business partner, or volunteer with one of our many initiatives – all by following the steps on the membership form.
