September, as usual, proved to be one of the wettest months of the year in Cuba, ending with total national rainfall of 344.9 millimeters, equivalent to 185% of the historic monthly average.
As reflected by the data provided by MSc Argelio Omar Fernández, specialist of the Rational Water Use Directorate of the National Institute of Water Resources (INRH), the western region saw total precipitation of 276.6mm (122%), while the central and eastern regions saw 454.6mm (247%) and 277.3mm (181%), respectively.
The provinces that had the highest total rainfall were Sancti Spíritus with 657.9 millimeters, Cienfuegos with 499.8mm; Ciego de Ávila with 459.8mm, Camagüey with 411.6mm, and Villa Clara, 346.4mm.
Such abundant rains favored a remarkable recovery of the country's reservoirs, which at the end of September held a total of 6.446 billion cubic meters of water, representing 71% of their total capacity.
This figure represents an increase of more than 2.803 billion cubic meters compared with the end of August, and exceeds the volume contained in September 2016 by 1.523 billion m3. It also surpassed the historic average for this time of the year by about 638 million m3. Thus this September has seen the highest rise in the amount of water accumulated across the country in the last 25 years.
Only the reservoirs of Havana, Las Tunas, Granma and Guantánamo remain at less than 50% of their useful capacity.
With a month to go before the end of the wet season, the national average rainfall between May and September was 926.4 millimeters, representing a favorable 109%.

Manager Simon Grayson insists he is the "right man" to lead Sunderland out of relegation trouble in the Championship, despite an 11-match winless run.
Grayson took over at the Stadium of Light in the summer, succeeding David Moyes, who left after the Black Cats' relegation from the Premier League.
However, the former Preston and Leeds boss has been unable to turn their form around, winning one of 14 league games.
"I've 100% confidence," Grayson, 47, told BBC Newcastle.
"Am I the right man? Certainly am. I've been through things. There aren't better or experienced managers out there that would want this job, or can do a better job that what I'm doing at the moment in time."
Bolton, the only side below them in the division, are Sunderland's next opponents at the Stadium of Light on Tuesday.
Home form has been a major concern for Grayson, whose side have not won a game on their own turf since beating Watford as a then top-flight club in December 2016.
"I can tell everyone what a great environment we're working in, a positive training ground, but results are all that matters," he added.
"People will make their own minds up whether I'm the right man for the job but ultimately I've improved the club, and there's a lot of work to be done.
"We're all in this together, the players and the staff, we all want the one thing and that is a victory."
Simon Grayson's position could be significantly and perhaps fatally wounded if Sunderland lose against Bolton, but by the same measure his position could become a little more secure with a win.
He is experienced enough to know only too well that a manager is judged by results, and one win in the last 14 has brought his tenure under scrutiny.
The Stadium of Light has in recent times been a graveyard for manager's reputations once they've accepted the position at Sunderland. With it being Halloween [for the Bolton game], the metaphor seems even more apt and there are plenty of people now wanting him to fail.
Grayson has to firstly convince those still behind him he's the right man for the job, but it will take longer to convince the doubters and the Bolton game will test his ability to the maximum. Is the Stadium of Light the place to do that at the moment? Half full and with an atmosphere that plays into opposing sides' hands it is as tough as it gets.
Of course it's a cliche to say it is a 'must win' game, but it is, and Grayson will have to have the courage of his convictions and hope the team shows a bravery that has been lacking in recent home matches.

Wow, this week has been crazy. I'm not sure if I've ever been this tired. I'm not tired like sleepy tired, but just fatigued from everything. From all of the time on the road going to and from therapy (I travel over 700 miles per week on the freeways) to exerting so much energy during the therapies, I am drained. I know I'm trying 1000% doing everything I can to get better, but this week, everything has caught up with me. Like I said, I feel fine, just exhausted like I never have been before. I can't wait for this Thanksgiving break and also some time off in December. I'm still getting better each time I go to therapy, but I need to make sure I get enough rest and sleep and relaxation so I don't exhaust myself too much which could end up being detrimental to my recovery.
This weekend has been fun just relaxing with Ivette and friends and sleeping in for the first time in a while. Friday was awesome as Darren took us to a Laker game...in a suite! (thanks again buddy!!!) And Saturday was cool as Brian finally came back from DC (move back to LA already) and we were able to catch up and hang with other friends.
Three days of therapy next week. Have a happy Thanksgiving everyone and safe travels for everyone traveling.
We trust that you had a great Thanksgiving celebration with the family. We continue to pray for your full recovery. Your journey towards healing is very inspiring. Know that we are with you in prayer and in faith. God is good all the time. Love. God bless.
Take good care of yourself and take time for a breather. Glad to know that you had a good time at the Lakers game.
Can't wait for you to visit and we can walk through the streets of Toledo and Madrid together. I miss you a lot, especially in the mornings when I'm walking to school. That's when I have the most "down time" and I get to clear my head and meditate. I hope to catch you and Ivette on Yahoo Messenger soon!


Hi All! Just wanted to drop a quick line to let everyone know whats shakin' over here at the I.M. studios and it's artists.

Q: Cleanest data structure to use when interpreting data from neatly-structured user commands (in C++) I would like to write a simple in-house program that parses user commands written in a language of our team's own invention (but based closely on another program we are already familiar with). The command parser that I am working on now will simply be the UI through which the user can run the other algorithms I have already written. (Those other algorithms, by the way, are used to generate the input files for a molecular dynamic simulation package called LAMMPS.) The only thing I really have left to do is just write this UI, but as it turns out, writing your own scripting language is almost an intractable challenge for a non software engineer to tackle on his own.
According to the answers I received, what I am try to make would be considered a Domain Specific Language, and it is not advisable to try to make one's own DSL due to the enormous amount of work required to make it useful and bug-free.
The best option then would actually be to use an existing scripting language like Lua or Python, and embed it in the program.
To do this, I will most likely use Lua because it seems most fitting for our needs. So at this point, the rest of this question is no longer relevant since the answer would be: "Don't do it yourself." But I'm still going to keep part of it here for other users to be able read and learn from the wonderful answers below.
Thanks again to everyone who replied!

Old Question:

I would like to write a program that parses a user text input and then
  runs a function corresponding to that input. To do this I would need
  to parse the string for relevant keywords. I believe there will be
  less than 15 keywords when I'm done, so ideally I'd like this code
  to be simple and short.
The problem is that I am currently using if-statements to parse the
  strings. This is an extremely inconvenient way to parse commands
  because even for a short 3 word commands the code explodes into nested-ifs
  3 layers deep. So longer 8+ word sentences will become nested-ifs more than
  8 layers deep.
This kind of programing approach quickly becomes unmanageable, especially
  when I need to make any significant changes to a command.

My question is whether or not there exists a data structure in C++ that
  can help me better manage my giant nested-ifs, or if anyone could suggest
  a better way to parse a string for lots of different data types (i.e.
  substings, ints, and floats) and output an error message when the expected
  type is not found?

Here is an example of a short user session to show the kinds of commands
  I would like to interpret:
    load "Basis.Silicon" as material 1
    add material 1 to layer 1
    rotate layer 1 about x-axis by 45 degrees
    translate layer 1 in x-axis by 10 nm
    generate crystal

These commands are based on an already-existing program that our team
  uses, but unfortunately the source code for this program has never been
  publicly released so I am left guessing as to how it was actually
  implemented.
One final note, unlike natural language processors, I know exactly what
  the format of each line will be. So my issue isn't so much how to interpret
  the text, but rather how to code the logic in a concise and manageable way.
Thanks everyone!

A: Your question is not clear. And your goals are more difficult than what you believe.
Either you consider that you want to somehow process human language sentences (e.g. in English). Then you want to study natural language processing, and you can find some libraries related to that field.
Or you consider that you want to interpret some formal programming or scripting language. Then you want to study interpreters and compilers. BTW, in that case, you might just embed an existing interpreter (like Lua, Guile, Python, etc....) in your program.
You could also think in terms of expert systems with a knowledge base made of rules (this approach could be viewed as in the middle between NLP and scripting language) You'll then need some inference engine (perhaps CLIPS). See also J.Pitrat's blog.
Notice that even coding a simple interpreter is more difficult than you believe. You absolutely need to represent abstract syntax trees, which you construct from textual input with a parsing phase.
BTW, All of NLP, expert systems, and interpreter design and implementation are difficult fields. You could get a PhD in all 3 fields (but you have to choose which).
If you go the embedded interpreter way: study the interpreters I mentioned (Guile, Lua, Python, Neko, etc...) and choose which one you want, to embed.
If for whatever reason, you want to make an interpreter from scratch: Learn several programming languages first (including scripting languages like Ruby, Python, Ocaml, Scheme, Lua, Neko, ...). Read books on Programming Language Pragmatics (by M.Scott) and Lisp In Small Pieces (by Queinnec). Read also text books on compilation and parsing, and on Garbage Collection and formal (e.g. denotational) semantics. All this may need a dozen years of work.
Notice that by experience embedding a software in an interpreter is a very structuring design. If you did not thought of that at the beginning you probably need to redesign and refactor a lot your existing application. For instance, when embedding a software in an interpreter, you cannot afford that bad input crashes the program. So error handling and memory management (interfacing to the GC of the interpreter) is challenging and gives new constraints. Hence you'll need to re-think your application.
If all this is new (and even if you don't choose e.g. Guile as the embedding interpreter): learn and practice a bit of Scheme -e.g. with Guile or PltScheme- (e.g. reading SICP), read a little bit about λ-calculus and closures, then read Queinnec's Lisp In Small Pieces book. Remember the halting problem (which is partly why interpreters are difficult to code).
BTW the syntax you are proposing (e.g. rotate mat 1 by x 90) is not very readable and looks COBOL-like. If possible, have a language which looks familiar to existing ones. Make it easy to read !
Start by reading all the wikipages I am referencing here.
FWIW, I am the main author of MELT, a domain specific language (inspired a lot by Scheme) to extend the GCC compiler. Some of the papers / documentations I wrote might inspire you (and contain valuable references).
Addenda (after question was reformulated)
You seems to invent some formal syntax like
add material 1 to layer 1
rotate layer 1 about x-axis by 90 degrees
translate layer 1 in x-axis by 10 inches

I can't guess what kind of language is it? Are you implementing a 3D printer? If yes, you should stick to some existing standard formal language in that domain.
I believe that such a COBOL-like syntax is really wrong. The point is that it is too verbose, and that you are wishing to implement some domain specific language. I find your example very bad-looking.
Is that syntax your invention, or is there some document specifying (and many thousands already existing lines coded in) your domain specific language. If you are just inventing it, please reconsider the syntax and the semantics.
First, you need to specify on paper the full syntax and semantics of your DSL.
Is your DSL Turing complete? (I guess that yes, because Turing completeness is reached very quickly - e.g. with variables and loops....). If yes, you are inventing a scripting language. Please don't invent scripting language without knowing several programming & scripting languages (then read Programming Language Pragmatics...). The point is that, if your scripting language will become successful, advanced users will soon or later write important programs in it (e.g. many thousand lines). Then, these advanced users will be programmers. In that case, it is very important (for social & economic reasons) to have a DSL well founded and looking familiar (if possible, an extension of some existing scripting language).
If your DSL already exists, stick to its specification on paper. If that specification is not good enough, improve it with formalization (e.g. by writing some BNF syntax, and some formal (e.g. denotational) semantics for it). Publish and discuss that formalization with existing users.
Several industries got some ad-hoc DSLs which became widely used but was ill designed
(e.g., in the French nuclear industry, the Gibiane DSL designed in the 1970s by nuclear physicists, not computer scientists; the US Boeing corporation is also rumored to have made similar mistakes). Then, maintaining and improving the many hundred thousands lines of DSL scripts is becoming a nightmare (and may means losing millions of dollars or euros). So you better stick to some existing scripting language. The advantages are that there exist some culture on it (e.g. you can find dozens of books on Python or Lua, and many trained engineers familiar with them), that the interpreter is widely used and tested, that the community working on them is improving the interpreters, so it has quite few uncorrected bugs.
You should not attempt to design and implement your own DSL if you are not a trained computer scientist. Stick to some existing scripting language (of course their syntax is not like you want it to be), and leverage on existing implementations and experiment.
As a counter-example, J.Ousterhout has invented the widely used Tcl scripting language, with the claim that scripts are always small (e.g. hundreds of line only) and won't grow to big code base; unfortunately, some of them did, and Tcl is known as a bad language to code many dozens of thousands of lines (even if Tcl is an easy and convenient language for tiny scripts). The moral of the story is that if a (turing complete) scripting language is becoming successful, some "crazy" advanced user will code hundred of thousands of script code. So you need that scripting language to be well designed from the start. Hence, you should adopt and adapt a good existing scripting language (and avoid inventing an unfamiliar syntax without having a good knowledge of several existing scripting languages)
later additions
PS: my criticism of Tcl is not entirely subjective: the point is that Tcl was designed for small scripts in mind (read J.Ousterhout's first papers about Tcl), but my point is that when you offer a Turing-complete scripting language, some "crazy" user will eventually write huge scripts for it. Hence, you need to anticipate such "crazy" usage by offering a scripting language which "scales up" to big scripts, so is built according to software engineering practices for large software code base.
NB. Lua is probably a good choice as a language to embed. It is small, has a nice implementation, is well documented, and has good performance. But be careful about memory management issues (and this advice holds for any scripting language).

A:
EDIT: To be more clear, I would like to have a short list of key words
  (<15). The order/presence of which would determine which function will
  be run.

You can build a small ruleset engine (e.g. something that processes lists of words). You write that engine/function once and just pass the data structures to it.
As an alternative, a solution using regular expressions would be probably the fastest to code (the engine is ready for you), assuming you're familiar with the regexp syntax (if not, it's still a good investment).

A: You could build a table of keywords and function pointers:
typedef void (*Function_Pointer)(void);

struct table_entry
{
  const char * keyword;
  Function_Pointer p_function;
};

table_entry function_table[] =
{
  {"car", Process_Car},
  {"bike", Process_Bike},
};

Search the table for a keyword.  If the keyword is found, dereference the function pointer.
The following snippet will execute the function for processing the word "car":
(function_table[0].p_function)();

There is a famous program, called Eliza, which parses sentences for keywords.

So you have more than one diopter of cylinder correction in your glasses.
You figured out that for close-up you don't want to be wearing full minus (bravo!), and now you wonder what to do about that astigmatism. You read me state that less than 1 diopter, you can often just eliminate, for close-up glasses. But what about if you have more than 1 diopter?
You know how I always and forever say, it's all in the blog, free?
So while BackTo20/20 continues to be a bit of the exclusive chat-straight-with-the-eyeguru club, let's continue the tradition of putting key tools here, in the blog.
Let's talk about that astigmatism!
First of course, this as always isn't medical or prescription advice. While this is highly professional, guru level insight, it's not sanctioned or licensed by mainstream lens sales or 'medical' anyone. You're basically a pirate in the optometry high seas, when anything discussed here.
Thank you! Those were both very helpful! Without contacts or glasses, I'm able to see the astigmatism blur in my left eye – the one with the higher astigmatism. When I look at text, vertical lines are clear, horizontal lines are blurry. I'm seeing just normal blur in my other eye.
So, based on those findings, does Melissa actually benefit from all that astigmatism correction, for all those hours she's wearing that correction, during close-up?
And that's how lens induced myopia, and lens induced astigmatism happens, creating focal plane corrections where there is no need for them. The eye adapts, and before you know it the optometrist finds that you can now tolerate (sorry, I mean *need*, of course) even more astigmatism correction.
If Melissa just keeps about 0.5 diopters of cylinder in the left eye and no cylinder correction in the right eye, she'll be able to see clearly close-up just as well as she can with all that extra and unnecessary cylinder she has today. That's a whole 1.5 diopters less of focal plane change! Same visual result, less diopter complexity, happier eyes.
After 4-6 weeks of reduced cylinder correction, going back to the previous (high cylinder correction) prescription would leave Melissa feeling notable visual discomfort. Her eyes have quickly returned to a far more natural state, and the visual cortex now rejects the unnatural cylinder focal plane.
Now, the million dollar question: Should you go monkey around with your astigmatism correction?
The answer to this is, depends. I'm not telling you to, and there are probably lots of local laws and rules that determine what you are permitted to do with your own eyes (seems fair, right?). You might find a friendly behavioral optometrist, or an enlightened optometrist who will actually check your eyes for close-up vision needs, and give you a lowered correction accordingly.
Or you're just going to do whatever you want (of course after properly educating yourself about the impact of lenses on your eyesight, and learning how to measure changes).

In this week's Parashah, Ya'akov has an altercation with a man who damages his Gid HaNasheh, sciatic nerve (a nerve running the length of the leg). As a result of this incident, the Bnei Yisrael are commanded never to eat of this nerve. The Pasuk writes, "Al Kein Lo Yochilu VeNei Yisrael Et Gid HaNasheh," "Therefore the Bnei Yisrael shall not eat the sciatic nerve" (BeReishit 32:33). Rambam in his commentary on the Mishnah insists that, even though this Pasuk prohibits Gid HaNasheh, and God prohibited living flesh (Eiver Min HaChai) to No'ach, and Hashem commanded Avraham to circumcise himself, the source for these Mitzvot is not BeReishit, but rather the revelation at Har Sinai.
But does it really matter where the source for a Mitzvah is? A Mitzvah is a Mitzvah, isn't it? Rav Lichtenstein says no; where a Mitzvah comes from matters. If we start observing the Mitzvot because they were commanded to our forefathers, we are observing Mitzvot in isolation. No Mitzvah has any bearing on another because they were commanded to different people, at different times, under different circumstances. However, when we observe a Mitzvah commanded at Sinai the perfect whole that is Hashem's Torah can be sensed because the commandment exists within the broader framework of Halacha. This is why Rambam felt the need to make his point, and this holds true in life generally. One particular aspect of the world may be fascinating on its own, but when viewed in context of the world as a whole it takes on far deeper significance.

"To hold a people in oppression you have to convince them first that they are supposed to be oppressed.
BILLIONAIRE Johann Rupert was in a house full of black people the other night being hosted by Talk Radio PowerFm Chairman Given Mkhari. Those that listened say he was racist, mocked Blacks while his host giggled. Many in the audience, Black in the main and African in particular, sat still while they took on the billionaire's insults. The son who inherited his wealth from his father who helped spread lunch cancer through his tobacco business and worked for the apartheid government spoke about how hard his generation and Afrikaaners worked and how they didn't spend money on frivolous stuff.
Rupert's talk, views and disregard of how his message would be received by his host and audience is a stark reminder of the great and revered African American historian John Henrik Clarke's Concept of Deity.

Q: Powershell script to check subfolders exist or not I'm trying to write a script in PowerShell. There will be the main folder like eg: movies. Inside I will have a subfolder of which language of movie it is and another subfolder inside it for the movie name. I will be giving only the main folder path ie: F:\Movies, And I will be taking the language of the movie folder and movie name folder as parameters I want to verify if the folder is available inside the main folder or not. I wrote the below script but it's not working. Could you please help me to figure it out?
Function Folder_Check {
    [CmdletBinding(SupportsShouldProcess)]
    param (
        [Parameter(Mandatory=$true)]$Languageofmovie,
        [Parameter(Mandatory=$true)]$nameofmovie)

    $Foldertocheck = 'F:\Movies'

    if ($result = Get-childitem -path $Foldertocheck -Recurse -Directory) {
        Write-Host "Folder found in $($result)"
    }
    else {
        Write-Host "No it is not available"
    }
}

A: You can fix this by leveraging the parameters passed to the function.
Since you know the folder structure you can create a variable that combines the root folder, the language and the movie name:
Function Folder_Check {
    [CmdletBinding(SupportsShouldProcess)]
    param (
        [Parameter(Mandatory=$true)]$Languageofmovie,
        [Parameter(Mandatory=$true)]$nameofmovie)

    $Foldertocheck = '~\Documents\Movies'
    $MovieFolder = "$Foldertocheck\$Languageofmovie\$nameofmovie"

    if (Test-Path $MovieFolder -PathType Container) {
        Write-Host "$MovieFolder found"
    }
    else {
        Write-Host "$MovieFolder is not available"
    }
}

Using -PathType Container to make sure the movie name is a folder and not a file.
Then you can call the function - something like:

Folder_Check English Godfather
Folder_Check English Armageddon
Folder_Check Russian TheIdiot

A: Did I understand correctly?
Function Folder_Check {
    [CmdletBinding(SupportsShouldProcess)]
    param (
        [Parameter(Mandatory=$true)]$Languageofmovie,
        [Parameter(Mandatory=$true)]$nameofmovie)

    $Foldertocheck = $Foldertocheck = 'F:\Movies' + '$($Languageofthemovie)'

    if ((Get-childitem -path $Foldertocheck -Directory).name -match '$($nameofmovie)') {
        Write-Host "Folder found in $($Foldertocheck)"
    }
    else {
        Write-Host "No it is not available"
    }
}

I have read several articles on how sitting all day is bad for your health. It can increase your risk for heart disease, decrease overall health, and lead to death at an earlier age, even if people who sit all day exercise. This is unfortunate news for the huge number of Americans who spend their days chained to a desk, but the negative health impact extends to riding in the car, or sitting on the couch watching television. And now, the news has gotten even worse. For women, sitting for nine hours a day or more results in an increased risk for depression (47% higher!) when compared to those who sat down less than six hours daily. Scientists chalk it up to lower circulation that decreases the movement of feel-good hormones to the brain to boost mood.
However, the effect may be temporary. When women started moving again, they were able to shake the depressive symptoms, indicating that sitting only brings down mood in the present. Additionally, the researchers believe that regular exercise after sitting periods can help to prevent potential future depression. While there is no way to reverse the poor health effects of sitting, making a point to get up and walk around every 20 minutes can help make them less severe. Now there's an excuse to go say hi to your coworker on the other side of the office!


Unfortunately, learning about "why some women don't choose to wear it" – or more pointedly, what happens to women in certain Muslim countries and societies who have no choice whether or not to wear it — was not part of the program.
School officials in Rochester, New York are getting flak from angry parents and teachers for holding an event in solidarity with World Hijab Day. The event, held at the school and during school hours, encouraged the high school girls to wear the Islamic headscarf for the day. Boys were given carnations to wear in solidarity.
Concurrent with the advent Islamism comes the culture of "honor," the idea that a family's or a husband's honor lies in the chastity and modesty of their female members. To the Islamist, the hijab has become the quintessential symbol of that honor.
Stories have, unfortunately, become common in our time of women — both in the West as well in Muslim countries– who have been "honor" killed by their families or societies for not wearing a hijab.
On a theological level, it is interesting to note how many prominent Islamic theologians reject the idea that women are required to wear a hijab.
It is likely that high school sophomore Eman Muthana, originally from Yemen, who wears a hijab and requested the event, was unaware of history of the cloth she wears around her head every day.
But somewhere, it seems, that was some coercion. A spokesman for the school district said, after consulting with a lawyer, he was told "there would be more of a legal issue if the school said no to the event" than to host it.
"How disgusting and irresponsible for any educator to encourage a child to wear a symbol of oppression, whether it be religious or cultural," Rebecca Sluman wrote.

H. Bennett's Chemical Formulation Books
H. Bennett's chemical formulae book series is a collection of high quality technical literature for chemists, engineers, and other professionals seeking information on how to solve complex formulation problems. From common household chemical formulas, to industrial chemical formulas to the formula of alcoholic liquors or food products, Bennett's Chemical Formulary series spans all chemical industries.
Each volume is unique from the one that precedes and follows it; including a great range of traditional and modern commercial products. Since most products of interest are composites, mixtures or highly multifarious compounds, one must gain knowledge greater than that of synthetic or definite chemical compounds. This advanced knowledge is commonly not garnered in school or college, making the existence of this collection an imperative reference to anyone in the chemical industry. Established to save chemists and technical workers time and effort, Bennett's publications also assist the manufacturer, seller, and non-chemical executives in gaining knowledge about products in which they sell, use, or come into contact with.
Since 1934, we at the Chemical Publishing Company have prided ourselves in providing quality publications that assist professionals in gaining knowledge to further their careers and specialties. Contact us if you have any questions or if you are interested in purchasing a single chapter of one of our books.

Purported al-Qaeda bomber was 'CIA informant'
Individual involved in "airline bomb plot" in Yemen was working for US and Saudi intelligence agencies, US media report.
An individual allegedly chosen by al-Qaeda in Yemen to blow up a US-bound airliner using an underwear bomb was a CIA agent, according to reports in US media.
The agent, working for the US and the Saudi Arabian intelligence agencies, infiltrated al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) and volunteered for the suicide mission, media reported on Tuesday.
The officials, who spoke to US media on condition of anonymity on Tuesday, said the informant was safely out of Yemen.
US officials leaked out details of the apparent intelligence coup two days after the White House announced the suspected bomb plot had been successfully thwarted.
The agent managed to spend weeks with AQAP before handing over information that allowed the US to launch a drone strike on Sunday that killed Fahd al-Quso, a senior figure who was wanted over the 2000 bombing of the USS Cole in Yemen, the New York Times and other media reported, citing unnamed US officials.
A senior US official told the Times that a bomb for the would-be attack was sewn into "custom fit" underwear that would have been difficult to detect even in a careful pat-down at an airport.
Another US newspaper, The Los Angeles Times reported that the agent was "an informant" overseen by Saudi Arabia's intelligence service, which devotes great efforts to monitoring Al-Qaeda's branch in Yemen.
Officials said the device intended to have been used in the attack was an upgrade over the bomb that failed to detonate on board an airplane over Detroit on Christmas Day 2009.
This new bomb contained no metal and used a chemical – lead azide – that was to be a detonator in a nearly successful 2010 plot to attack cargo planes.
'Very limited comment'
The CIA and other government agencies declined to comment on the reports when contacted by AFP news agency.
Al Jazeera's John Terrett, reporting from Washington, said there has been "very limited comment on this story throughout the day from the [Obama] administration".
Although officials touted the disrupted plot as a success, they acknowledged AQAP remained determined to strike against Western interests.
Security procedures at US airports remained unchanged on Tuesday, a reflection of both the US confidence in its security systems and recognition that the government could not realistically expect travellers to endure much more.
Increased costs and delays to airlines and shipping companies could also have a global economic impact.
"I would not expect any real changes for the travelling public," said House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Rogers. "There is a concern that overseas security doesn't match ours. That's an ongoing challenge."
'US foils al-Qaeda plot' to bomb airliner
The plot never posed any risk to public and Obama was informed of it in April, country's National Security Council said.
'Al-Qaeda members' killed in airstrike
Two men, including one convicted for 2000 attack on US warship USS Cole in port of Aden, hit by missile fired by drone.

The mutual exchange of talent can contribute to a better understanding and better service delivery. This, together with the international scope, and the innovative and sustainable profile of Royal HaskoningDHV mean that I very much look forward to my new challenge."

Rave: Neukölln's Intercultural Day-to-Day
June 27, 2013 Sophia Burton Identity & Belonging, Informed Tourism, Local Stories, Politics & Media, Religion, Spaces & Places 1
A Berlin restaurant with an American name run by a Tunisian who prepares Italian fare in Halal style? Anywhere else this collision of cultures on a plate would be considered poor marketing. In Neukölln it's more or less the norm.
"L.A. New York Restaurant" was the second stop along Erkundung im Paradies, one of numerous tours offered by Route 44 that explore Neukölln's migration history and interculturalism. The tours are entirely female-run and designed by a group of diverse women who are proud to call Neukölln their "(second) home".
Neukölln is Berlin's 8th district and home to 320,000 residents, approximately 40% of which are not ethnically German. Almost 150 nationalities are represented (primarily Turkey, the Arab world, and former Yugoslavia) and the district is at the heart of Berlin's gentrification debate, making Neukölln hard to ignore. Nonetheless, it was off my radar for years and continues to be for tourists who either don't know it exists or have been warned it's too dangerous to visit. My 250 page Berlin guide book from 2003 doesn't say one word about Neukölln. Ten years later and it's still not mentioned on this list or this list or this list. It is on this one: "More down-to-earth are the working-class districts of Wedding in the north and Neukölln in the south, which is sometimes referred to as the Berlin Bronx. Although they both have a reputation of being ghettos for the poor, unemployed and other down-and-outs, they are not as bad as they are made out to be." What a ringing endorsement.
The Route 44 girls describe Neukölln as a region of "irritating problems but fascinating potential". Unfortunately Neukölln's problems go beyond irritating to downright serious: they have one of the city's highest unemployment rates (17%), high child poverty rates, and a crime rate that is about 40% higher than Berlin's average. But it is also home to immense diversity, creativity, and rich cultural history. Reducing Neukölln (or any struggling region) to the "poor, unemployed and other down-and-outs" is not only unfair, it's unproductive.
Erkundung im Paradies or "Exploring Paradise" showcases this "fascinating potential" through an exploration of a neighborhood and its various houses of worship, educational institutions, trendy bars, and international restaurants. Yet perhaps the most interesting facet of the tour was not the stops itself, but the open dialogue it generated. The tour participants were largely locals and the intermittent chatter and questions culminated in a discussion on religion and the role of the headscarf. Hiba and Maria, our guides, responded openly and respectfully to questions from the group that ranged from "Aren't women forced to wear them?" to "Why don't you wear one?" Hiba (Lebanese-German) and Maria (Pakistani-German) don't wear headscarves and explained that while it's a commitment they're not ready to make now, they don't rule it out for the future. Either way, it's their choice alone.
When asked by a journalist why they do the tours, they responded quite simply: "Neukölln has a bad reputation, and we want to change that."
I'd say the guidebooks should take note, but I'm not sure we need them. These women are creating their own and it's a lot more interesting.
– By Sophia Burton
For more information on Route 44 tours, click here. Tours are offered every first and third Saturday of the month and registration is not necessary. Bring something to cover your shoulders during visits to houses of worship. Tours are given in German but the guides offer a variety of other languages that include English, Urdu, Arabic, and Turkish.

Start a Business in Dairy Processing: Milk, Ice-Cream, Yoghut, etc.
Start a business in dairy processing in Uganda and produce and sell packaged milk, yogourt, butter, cheese,etc.
Uganda's dairy sector has registered commendable growth averaging 8-10% since 1991. But the country has more milk than processors can handle, presenting huge potential for investment in the sector.
It is estimated that 70% (i.e. 1.05 billion litres) of milk produced in Uganda is marketed commercially and the other 30% is consumed on the farm. Two marketing channels for milk exist – formal and informal. 80-90% of the marketed milk is sold through the informal marketing channel as raw milk. There are over 200 milk coolers with a total capacity of about 550,000 litres. Most of these are found in the South-West region of Uganda. Chilled milk is delivered to processing plants in insulated milk tankers. 10% of the processed milk is exported to the regional markets such as Kenya, Tanzania, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Burundi, Southern Sudan, Mauritius and Rwanda. Some dairy products are also exported to the Middle East.
Uganda presents investment opportunities for the establishment dairy plants to process pasteurised and UHT milk as well as yoghurt, ice-cream, butter and cheese.


Online holiday shopping and working from home is a great match. You can take care of some of your shopping needs when you're taking a mental break from work, and it's the best option if you live in a remote area. It's not perfect though, and there are some disadvantages associated with shopping online that you need to be aware of.
Many of these advantages may not be available to you if you live in a small town or in a large city that has limited inventory and retailers. There is no limit when you're shopping online. You can find bargains and buy from anyone you want, including local vendors. There's no rule against buying local and online. Some local business owners only have a web presence, and you can still keep dollars in your community by shopping online with them.
These are legitimate concerns and risks that you have to take into account. The best way to overcome a lot of these is to only deal with reputable companies and do your holiday shopping early.
The holidays don't change from year to year. Try to make your list well in advance so that you can take advantage of online holiday shopping. Avoid promises of last minute shipment and delivery so that you won't get disappointed.

Twilight Fans Can Now Rent The House Where Bella Swan Lived, Home Is Listed on Airbnb
by Ashutosh Kumar July 25, 2019, 11:07 am 1.7k Views
Back in recent past, Stark's Cabin from the movie Avengers: Endgame got listed on Airbnb. Iron Man's cabin now being rented by guests for Rs.55,000 per night. Now, Twilight fans have also the chance, they can rent Bella's home.
The fantasy film series, the Twilight saga has stuck to us long. Girls being smitten by Edward Cullen and having fantasies of spending their life romancing a Vampire and boys wishing to have a girl as beautiful as Bella Swan is a part and parcel of being a Twilight fan.
Screentshot: Source
But then as we imagine how we can have the Twilight life, one can also see that the house in which the Cullens family stayed. That lush house, in which most of the film was shot in Oregon has been put on rent. Yes, you read it right. The house can be rented and has been taken over by Airbnb. It happens to have initially shared by PopSugar and has caught up well with the masses.
Images above: Airbnb
For the movie – to prepare the house for its screen debut, the production crew painted the exterior and most of the rooms inside. The owners had a choice: They could have their house repainted in the original colors, select new colors or keep the ones chosen by the production designer. The owners kept the film's color palette: Blue in the living room, yellow in the hallway and green in the kitchen, which are all complementary colors.
The house was purchased by someone last year and has been put on the website for rent. The Swan's house is available for $440 a night on Friday and Saturday, and $330 every other day of the week, which is pretty reasonable considering there are five bedrooms and a 10-person occupancy.

The hand truck is supposed to make one's life easier. This is especially true for the mobile DJ given the various conditions that one can walk into, from crushed gravel to grass, carpeted surfaces, various humps, bumps, and hills. I personally own two of the most talked about models, the Rock and Roller R12 and the Gruv Gear Muver 6 (also known as the Krane AMG 750). Which one reigns supreme? Let's find out.
First up we have the pair that I have owned the longest, the Rock and Roller R12. I ordered my first one in June of 2014 so this would be it's four year anniversary, while the second one I ordered two years ago. It comes in at a pretty light 33 lbs and has a total capacity of 500 lbs. There is an even larger R18 model that weighs 37 lbs and has a 700 lb capacity.
One of the reasons this is so popular is that is works, quite well. It's quite compact to fit in most vehicles, it glides pretty effortlessly over virtually any surface to throw at it. But there are some design flaws to consider before buying it.
One of those flaws is its greatest asset. Given it has a lightweight tubular frame, there are points that will ultimately give and one of those points is the front '"bar" that holds in the front casters. Over time it starts to give in, creating a negative camber to the tires. The result is that the cart naturally tries to move into a front-facing position during any turning. Now it does not make the cart unusable, but it does make it a bit more difficult to navigate.
And that design issue continues to the handles/arms of the cart. The design is such that where the arms lock into the frame, there isn't really any points for it to be secured. The result is any resistance that the car encounters there becomes an opportunity for the lightweight arms to bend, and bend they will. Now some people simply say that you should never pull, only push. And as long as there is some equipment on the deck that will push against it, there is less chance for it to bend. But let's face it, you cannot always push.
Now you may think that part of the reason these two issues are happening is I am loading the carts too much. Calculating my heaviest equipment at the time I put on there, there was still a lot of headroom it had before it reached its maximum weight.
OK, let's get this out of the way, this is a heavier cart. Where the R12 comes in at 33 lbs, the Muver 6 weighs a considerable 15 lbs more clocking in at 48 lbs. But that weight turns into a much more substantial cart. Also, because of its design, it does not fold quite as compact as the R12. So if you do want to go this way you'll need to make a little more space and know it will be a bit heavy to carry around. But the trade-offs pays!
One of those positives is the interlocking handle. It employs a clever design of a notched design plus two spring-loaded screws keep the handles in place. The result is an absolutely solid handle assembly that seems it could withstand some serious load.
Other big positives are having a carpeted deck to help keep things protected, and one of the big focal points of the design is the very large center wheels that not only helps to make this have a 0º turning radius, but also helps to distribute the weight more evenly across the frame. And despite having small wheels on the front and back you can still roll through gravel and grass, most likely from the aid of the large center wheels.
An additional point to consider, the Muver 6 has a lot more bolts, nuts, gliding shafts, and other elements that require regular maintenance. Now if you are coming from the Rock and Roller like I was, this is a fairly big change since you don't have to worry nearly as much with it. But you just need to keep an eye on things with the Muver 6 to make sure things stay in place. A small price to pay for such a solid cart.
Both carts are great. I am going on year 4 with my first Rock and Roller R12, which despite its design issues, is still rolling along. But I have to tip my hat to the Muver 6 / AMG 750. This is one massively solid cart that gets my top pick. Yes it is heavier, yes it takes up more space, and yes it requires a more careful examination to ensure all the parts are in place. But the tradeoff is a far more rugged frame and hopefully even more longevity.

The 5Cs
What are the 5Cs?
'Coaching Psychological Skills in Youth Football'
Communication coaching is aimed at developing a player's interpersonal skills and positive interactions with others. This is achieved by teaching verbal and non-verbal skills that form the processes of giving and receiving feedback as well as attending and listening to others.
The coach who looks to promote communication is a coach who specifically helps each player to become more skilled at giving and receiving information. This is a player who Helps, Encourages, Listens, Praises and Acknowledges others: A strong HELPA.
From the Field:
"I used to get told to communicate more, but I never knew what to say. Now I do! I even got into competitions with [another player] to see who could be the loudest and most helpful during trainings and matches to help us do better." Under 13 Academy Player
The coach focusing on developing communication skills can utilise small-sided games that focus on 'silent versus vibrant' football, or practices where only a certain number of players can speak at any given time. Through this they can help players to develop a 'team language' whereby players create their own trigger words to help them perform defensive and attacking actions successfully. Players may also be given the responsibility to monitor the quality of their own communication, then feedback their observations to the squad, allowing them to build their self-reflection skills.
Take a look at what one player who has been through the 5Cs coaching process has to say on communication.

Len Faki at the Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum, New York, for Cercle
https://www.facebook.com/lenfaki/
Berlin based DJ, producer and label owner Len Faki is one of the most outstanding and in-demand artists in techno's present age. He is an internationally requested dj, whose productions and remixes are played by techno's most prominent names. Being a resident at Berlin's prime techno club Berghain since its opening in 2004 keeps him open-minded as both, dj and producer. His sound is constantly evolving without ever losing its vibrant, unique energy and the passion and heart he puts into his sets. His gigs are an audio-visual adventure where he is not only playing for the crowd but rather performing for and with them.
Even before his move to Berlin in 2003, Len Faki had the experience of managing two highly acclaimed techno labels, Monoid and Feis. These early years of fruitful productivity provided the necessary groundwork for the next big steps in his career. Upon his arrival in Berlin, it didn´t take long until he became a resident-DJ in the newly opened Berghain – a match made in techno heaven and a monthly experience he wouldn´t want to miss for anything. The characteristic extra long DJ-sets in his "living room" inspire him to vary in tone and fully roll out his style to explore and further deepen his mastery of turning a DJ-set into a bona fide musical journey.
In 2003 he founded his own label figure as a new platform to play out his eclectic and open-minded vision of techno music. At first an outlet for his own productions, figure developed into a well recognized, highly acclaimed label, releasing household names like Johannes Heil or Slam as well as upcoming producers like Markus Suckut, A.Mochi, Psyk and others. To support and believe in the success of upcoming artists was and always will be a matter close to Len's heart and so the label is constantly scouting for fresh talent to develop and produce. Closing in on it's 50th release, figure is setting a new standard for techno music that is equal parts versatile, exciting and cutting-edge.
In 2006 Len founded the new label Podium with the intention to produce a short running series of EPs, featuring exclusive tracks from colleagues and friends alongside his own creations. From its initial release Podium found a sizeable fan base and has since gained cult status within the techno fraternity.
One year later, in 2007 he released the double A-side "Rainbow Delta/ Mekong Delta" on Ostgut Ton, which became one of the biggest anthems of the year and an instant techno classic, heavily supported by techno's top DJs. The success and popularity of Mekong Delta brought a wave of attention to Faki, who answered with numerous, extremely successful follow-up tracks like "My Black Sheep" or "Odyssee II", which turned into massive club hits in 2007 and 2008, as well as "Death By House" for Sven Väth's Cocoon label, a track, that ruled that year's summer festivals and Ibiza's annual debauchery. Thanks to his passionate performances, he got constant, top-notch rankings in a variety of popular music magazines. In Groove magazine's reader poll at the end of 2007 he was voted to the top position in three categories like "Best Track" and "Best Producer" – a tremendous honor and triple status that no one had ever achieved before him.
Never one to rest on his laurels, Len´s love for the infinite variety of electronic music resulted in founding figure spc in 2009. An authentic label, releasing techno music in all its facets, open minded and unconditional in its passion. Just like Podium before it, figure spc quickly found a huge fan base, who appreciate the label's tidbits each time.
In spring 2009, another milestone in Len's career was passed with the release of "Berghain 03" on Ostgut Ton, Len Faki's first commercial mix-CD. Accompanied by two 12 inches with exclusive tracks from fellow producers like Radio Slave and Len himself, "Berghain 03" further reinforced his status as one of the most innovative and versatile techno DJs in the business who pairs a deep understanding of balancing stripped-down funkiness and modern techno sensibilities.
Since then Len has found more and more pleasure in editing tracks for his DJ- sets to create his own musical universe and further develop his unique sound on stage. Len Faki's bone-dry but communicative execution style sets him apart as a true gentleman behind the turntables, an artist whose sets are based on raw passion and beauty, who uses his fingertips like sensors on a Richter scale, gauging, anticipating as well as triggering eruptions on the dance floor…

I have been able to examine two likely early original medieval daggers of some interest, previously unpublished.
I would like to have some help in dating them.
I examined them with all due permissions but i cannot still release the pics for public view.
I would ask anybody wishing to help me to pm me so that i could give him stats and pics, to be kept for private view only.
One of the two pieces has some inlaid cross potens in latten, it almost look like a miniature sword.
The pommel and cross look quite early.
The other has a very nice cross, AFAIK never seen so far.

David Bruce: The Funniest People in Books — Animals, Autographs
• E.B. White may be most famous for his children's book Charlotte's Web, in which a spider named Charlotte befriends a pig named Wilbur and saves his life by writing words in her web. The idea for the book came partly from Mr. White's discomfort at raising a pig each year at his farm in Maine, only to butcher it when it was fully grown. In addition, one day he noticed a spider building a web in an outhouse, so he brought out a lamp and a long extension cord and watched the spider. From these experiences, and more, came Charlotte's Web. By the way, sometimes people try to find hidden meanings in Charlotte's Web, but Mr. White says, "Any attempt to find allegorical meanings is bound to end disastrously, for no meanings are in there. I ought to know."
• Pioneer life could be difficult. In 1875, Laura Ingalls Wilder, author of Little House on the Prairie, was outside when she thought she saw a storm spring up on the horizon, then move closer. It wasn't a storm — it was a cloud of grasshoppers. While Laura and her family hid in their house, the grasshoppers ate everything green, including the crops, the garden, the grass, and even the leaves in the trees. After eating everything, the grasshoppers moved west. Because the grasshoppers had destroyed his crops, Laura's Pa walked 200 miles to eastern Minnesota to find work to support his family.
• John Steinbeck, author of The Grapes of Wrath, once left a setter puppy named Toby alone for a few hours. Unfortunately, he left Toby alone with a manuscript. By the time Mr. Steinbeck returned to the room, Toby had destroyed half of the only copy of the manuscript — two months' worth of writing. Nevertheless, Mr. Steinbeck did not become upset, saying later, "I didn't want to ruin a good dog for a manuscript I'm not sure is good at all." Instead, he sat down and rewrote the manuscript, which was published with this title: Of Mice and Men.
• In New York City, a photographer asked humorist Erma Bombeck to move slightly. She moved where the photographer wanted her to go, then posed — but the photographer had wanted her to move out of the way so he could photograph a dog that was appearing in the movie Down and Out in Beverly Hills.
• R.L. Stine, the writer of the Fear Street and Goosebumps children's book series, started out as a writer of comedy; for a while, he edited Scholastic's humor magazine, which was titled Bananas. When his first book for children, How to Be Funny, was published, he went to a book signing, at which he wore rabbit ears. During the entire afternoon of the book signing, he autographed exactly one book!
• Being a best-selling author can be hazardous to one's health. Horror writer Stephen King spoke at a library in Truth or Consequences, New Mexico, then he signed hundreds of autographs. Even so, some people were not able to get their books autographed — Mr. King's hand developed so many blisters that he was forced to stop signing his autograph.
• In 1975, Quentin Crisp's book The Naked Civil Servant, was published, and this very out and very effeminate gay man became a celebrity. Suddenly, taxi drivers who had driven by him even though their taxi was empty not only stopped for him, but they also began to ask for his autograph, saying, "The wife's never going to believe this!"
• Saul Bellow and his wife had an argument one day, so she threw several eight-by-ten glossy photographs of him in the garbage. A few days later, a knock sounded on his door. Standing in the doorway was the porter. He was holding one of the glossy photographs, and he asked Mr. Bellow to sign it.

Music Recommendation: Les Baxter and His Orchestra — "Brazilia"
Music: "Brazilia" from the album Les Baxter's JUNGLE JAZZ
Artist: Les Baxter and His Orchestra
Artist Location: Les Baxter's life dates are 1922-1996.
Info: "Les Baxter (1922-1996) used to be an utterly talented composer and bandleader who was on the go to the max during his active years. His version and as I should say vision of jazz music was a contemporary fresh and colorful sound with an exotic vibe due to the use of many elements of Latin music within a modernized big band sound. We speak of the exotica and space-age era when jazz music became more than just a few musicians on stage in a back-street pub sweating their life out while improvising. He draws inspiration from the various swing orchestras of the late 1920s and combines this lush big band approach with a hot South American groove that shows an affinity for Cuban club music, for mambo and salsa. With rhythmical effects and a few wordless female vocal passages added, he builds this haunting jungle atmosphere on top while leaving out the too obvious animal voices. The Latin jazz and swing elements harmonize fairly well with each other and the melodies Les Baxter and his orchestra create drag you into a different world."
Captain High Records, music publisher of this album, is located in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia.
Price: €7 for 16-track album; individual tracks cannot be purchased separately

This is a great video – very interesting to watch. This video shows you that you don't have to be perfect to score. In the book Online Dating Success, I describe an interesting phenomena whereby people change their criteria when they meet somebody they like, to 'fit' their criteria around the new person. That should have you sighing in relief.
Much more in the video. Enjoy!

Q: WKWebView causes memory warning and the app is terminated I have a simple app with a WKWebView. When running on iOS 9, the memory usage stays around 5 Mb with is expected since WKWebView runs in a separate process. But memory usage for "other processes" goes high after a couple of navigations, especially on heavy pages. When the memory usage reaches its threshold, the app gets two memory warnings and then gets terminated. webViewWebContentProcessDidTerminate is never called.
I've tried to respond to didReciveMemoryWarningin a couple of ways with no success. This is what I have tried:
override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
   super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
   print("**** MEMORY WARNING! ****")
   URLCache.shared.removeAllCachedResponses()
   URLCache.shared.diskCapacity = 0
   URLCache.shared.memoryCapacity = 0
}

override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
   super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
   print("**** MEMORY WARNING! ****")
   DispatchQueue.main.async {
            WKWebsiteDataStore.default().fetchDataRecords(ofTypes: WKWebsiteDataStore.allWebsiteDataTypes()) { records in
                records.forEach { record in
                    WKWebsiteDataStore.default().removeData(ofTypes: record.dataTypes, for: [record], completionHandler: {})
                    print("[WebCacheCleaner] Record \(record) deleted")
                }
            }
        }
}

This is my code:
import UIKit
import WebKit

class MyAwsomeWebViewController: UIViewController, WKNavigationDelegate {

    var page:WKWebView! = WKWebView()

    @IBOutlet weak var WKBaseView: UIView!

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        page.navigationDelegate = self
        if let url = URL(string: "https://hitta.se") {
            let request = URLRequest(url: url)
            page.load(request)
        }

    }

    override func loadView() {
        self.view = page
    }

    override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
        super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
        print("**** MEMORY WARNING! ****")
    }

    func webViewWebContentProcessDidTerminate(_ webView: WKWebView) {
        print("*** Terminate WebView Process ***")
    }

}

How can I clear my WKWebViews memory usage when I receive a memory warning so that the app won't crash?

A: WKWebView is only available for iOS 8 and above. I tested your code with Xcode 10.2.1 and the memory works fine while navigate through the WebView.
