Police respond after a rental truck hit pedestrians in downtown Manhattan, New York City.
A terror attack in New York City left eight people dead on Tuesday after a driver plowed a truck down a bike lane, hitting cyclists and pedestrians.
New York police arrested one suspect and said the threat is over.
Officials are investigating the incident as a terrorist attack.
At least eight people were killed in New York City on Tuesday after a man rammed a pickup truck into cyclists and pedestrians on a busy Manhattan bike lane, collided with a school bus, and jumped out brandishing fake guns, police said. They described the incident as an act of terror.
The suspect was arrested after being shot by a uniformed officer shortly after the crash. Authorities said the man acted alone and there was no longer an active threat as of Tuesday afternoon.
"This was an act of terror, and a particularly cowardly act of terror aimed at innocent civilians," Mayor Bill de Blasio said at a press conference.
Six of the fatalities from the attack were pronounced dead at the scene, all of whom were males, Fire Commissioner Daniel Nigro said. The two other fatalities were pronounced dead at the hospital. Another 11 people were taken to the hospital with serious, but not life-threatening injuries.
Police did not name the suspect, but said he was a 29-year-old man. Media outlets, however, quickly began reporting his identity as Sayfullo Saipov, a 29-year-old resident of Tampa, Florida, according to ABC News. Saipov is originally from Uzbekistan and came to the US in 2010, CNN reported.
The attack began around 3:05 p.m. on Tuesday, when the suspect drove a rented Home Depot pickup truck down the West Side Highway bicycle path, entering at Houston Street, New York Police Department commissioner James O'Neill said at a press conference.
Media outlets reported that the driver of the vehicle drove into the bike lane for more than 10 blocks in the wrong direction, hitting cyclists and pedestrians along the way.
The vehicle continued south and struck the school bus at Chambers Street, injuring two adults and two children, O'Neill said. The driver then exited the vehicle brandishing "imitation firearms" that were later revealed to be a pellet gun and a paintball gun, and was shot in the abdomen by a cop.
Some witnesses said they heard the suspect shouting "Allahu akbar," an Arabic phrase used by Muslims meaning "God is great," as he exited the truck.
Shortly after the incident, social media began flooding with photos and unconfirmed accounts from the scene.
"I was just walking out of school heading in that direction and heard the shots," a student at nearby Borough of Manhattan Community College told Business Insider. Several nearby buildings, including Stuyvesant High School, were put on lockdown following the incident.
President Donald Trump has also been briefed, the White House said. At 5:30 p.m., the president tweeted, "In NYC, looks like another attack by a very sick and deranged person. Law enforcement is following this closely. NOT IN THE U.S.A.!"

So the next stop of our trip was the Smokys and we could not ask for better weather. It was PERFECT I tell you... the three days there were mostly overcast with the sun peaking out from time to time. Kyle and I also stayed at our very first hotel together (since we've been staying at Airbnb on every travel) and it was... weird. haha! It was also the cause of my worst experience on this whole trip combined. After hiking from 10am until 8pm on the second day, Kyle was dragging me into the hotel's pool which was HUGE and had this crazy big slide and jacuzzi and all this fancy stuff and I swear that was the reason why I woke up the next morning with my eyes tearing. My contact got irritated and I couldn't even open my eye. I didn't bring glasses or a new pair of contacts so... it was the worst. I immediately called my parents to overnight ship my contacts to the next destination we'd be at, which was Asheville. That whole day, I couldn't hike, I could eat because I felt nauseas, and I had the worst headache. Although it was slowly getting better, I still could not see out of one eye and that was making me SOOOOO dizzy. So much so that I decided to buy an eyepatch. Yep, I walked around the Smokys with an eyepatch, and since this was on the last day, I also walked around Asheville the same way. Boy did I get the craziest looks. I went two and a half days either one eye blind, or with an eyepatch on. #adventure .. right?
Anyways, on a positive note, the highlight of the entire stay had to be sunset on Cingman's Dome, which was 6,644' up there. We decided to climb up about an hour before the sun came down, and underestimated how high and how cold it would get. The temperature dropped about fifteen degrees and it was such a steep walk up that although we had plenty of time to get back to our cars to grab a sweater, we decided against it because I don't think my calves would have made it back up a second time. So, it was FREEZING. I was sitting up there in my tank top and shorts and poor Kyle was shivering the entire time. He went up and down the walkway a few times just to warm up and even stayed at the bottom of the dome until it came closer to the sunset. As I was setting up my camera next to all the photographers, the man right next to me happen to be a professional photographer working on the most visited national park in the whole United States... The Great Smokys! He was doing this piece for a British company and also shot pictures for National Geographic in the past. He shot with all Nikon cameras and was lugging around this backpack that was about 25 pounds filled with three tripods, 7 or so lenses, and two camera bodies. When he saw what kind of camera I was shooting with, he let me shoot a few of my shots with his lenses and I just about screamed. How lucky did I get?! Also, he explained to everyone up there (who was complaining about the cold) that this was his third and final opportunity to climb up Clingman's Dome for a sunset. He said that the past two days were too overcast, the sun didn't even make it out, and that today was perfect. So again... how lucky did we get to be able to witness that beautiful sunset and exchange words with this man?! Pretty darn lucky. After the sun came down, we lingered for about 15 more minutes, while everyone went running down, and caught some beautiful colors. And although it was about 45 degrees at this point, I felt a little spark of warmth when I thought about how much this climb was worth it and how lucky I am to be on this trip with Kyle.
So Kyle and I went to the Firefly Music Festival this year at Dover, DE! We went two years ago for only a single day, but last year they stopped selling single day passes, so we missed out. When the lineup came out this year, we knew we just had to go for it and buy the 4 day pass... and THANK GOODNESS WE DID! I seriously had one of the best weekends of my life at firefly. It was just filled with good company, positive vibes, and GREAT music. We got to Travis Barker's drum solo session an hour early and was honestly like 15 feet from him... unreal. And of course, Kyle just about peed his pants when he saw Blink 182 play. Last time we saw them live was about 6 years ago and we'll see them again in Atlantic City this summer. Mumford and Sons & Florence and the Machine were AMAZING.... gosh they had me in tears.
Firefly was less than week after the tragedy at Orlando and the death of Christina Grimmie, and at first I felt so guilty having such a blast at a time where the world was filled with so much darkness, but after almost every band paid tribute to Orlando and the LGBTQ community, I realized why I was really there. Music is SO powerful - it unites, speaks to, and moves people. There were times when bands dedicated a song and a moment of silence to the tragedies that are going on in this world, and I cried. I cried on more than one occasion actually and I closed my eyes and thanked God for music. At a time when I was filled with so much anger, frustration, sadness, and heartbreak, music brought me a moment of happiness. I hope that at this time of darkness, people see the light. I hope that people remain aware of what's going on in this world, open up to differences, be supportive and helpful to those who mourn, and speak up when needed. Although it may be hard, try to remain fearless in this fearful world we live in.
So I guess I'm going backwards with my posts because Portland was the second stop of my summer vacation trip with Kyle. This town is beautiful. It's small, artsy, and filled with good coffee and good food! In fact two of my favorite meals of all time were from Portland (post about ALL my food from this trip will be posted later). Anyway we talked to a lot of locals who seem to have the same love for Portland, but unfortunately (& fortunately) the tourist scene in taking over the town. We stayed at an AirBnB of a woman whose apartment was right by the water. She was being kicked out because she just couldn't afford paying for rent after living in Portland for over 20 years. Because of the increase in tourist, there's a drive for summer homes, nicer looking apartments, and of course only people who can afford to pay for them. Many of the locals were now being pushed on the outskirts of the city because of how quickly Portland was booming and transforming. A few shop owners we talked to had mixed feelings about the whole thing because it was awesome to see their town grow in the music, arts, and food scene, but sad to see it come from a small town where almost everyone knew each other to, at times, an overpopulated place filled with tourists.

Cyber Crime in India is Real and Scary
Raisuddin Ahmad represents 60% of common Indians. He became a victim of cyber crime recently. Listen to the Audio carefully. The first investigative coverage of The Policy Times on cyber crimes in India poses a big threat to common Indians who know little about information sensitivity and exposes Prime Minister Modi's Digital India!
TPT Bureau
Raisuddin Ahmad, a resident of New Delhi, India's political capital is a common uneducated Indian. He is a supporter of Shri Narendra Modi's Digital India. By the mandate of the ruling Government, he has a bank account and ATM card of Oriental Bank of Commerce and linked his Aadhar Card with his bank account.
In the evening at 5:10 pm on the 4th of September 2017, he received a call from +91 8407852507 (which is registered in the name of Aniket Sharma from Bihar, according True-caller). The caller on the other line claimed that he was calling from Mumbai, ATM Card Department. The caller warned the victim that 4th of September was the expiration date of his ATM card which was the same day of the conversation. Howver, exprisation date of his card is 4 September 2023. The caller asked to share all details of the card so that the officer could renew his card. He added that if it was not told today, his card will expire permanently and to renew it again, he will have to pay INR 2850. Since this is big amount for a daily wager, he got afraid of paying that hefty amount and he shared all the information.
Listen to the complete conversation
https://thepolicytimes.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/SIM-1_164725_05092017.wav
He had INR 7,000 in his bank account which his son recently transferred after getting his salary. After the call all his money from the bank account was transferred. He filed a police complain in a police station in New Delhi and even requested his Bank branch to help but received no help. He does not know how to complain to the cyber cell of Delhi Police and hence he is repenting what happened and trying his best to forget the crime that just took place.
This reflects the horrific and scary picture of India's Digital India. Cybercrime is not a future threat; it is a reality which is very threatening. Indian police forces are ill-equipped to handle such cyber-crimes. Even Banks are not prepared to handle such crimes and neither have they properly educated citizens about the consequences of such events happening.
The way cyber theft and cybercrime has pervaded the online landscape of India, it has left the common people very insecure about their assets. As per the Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In), between January to June this year, 27,482 cases of cybercrime were reported. The scope of cybercrimes in India include ransom ware, malicious code or virus, defacements, site intrusions, probing or scanning, phishing and denial-of-service attacks.
It often happens that calls from supposedly banks come to less educate or illiterate people asking for their banking details which is then utilized to siphon away the money parked in their accounts. The Policy Times exposes the fraudulent phone call that siphoned away all the money of the victim who in this case is Raisuddin Ahmad. You will notice the jugular words and cajoling of the perpetrator.
The rate of cybercrime in India is astonishingly one in every 10 minutes, from the beginning of 2017 to the end of June 2017. This rate is higher than the crime rate reported in 2016, which is one in every 12 minutes.
Over the past three-and-a-half years, cybercrime in India amounted to 1.71 lakh cases. This year, so far the number of cybercrime cases has touched 127,482 making it likely that extra 50,000 cases will be amounted compared to 2016.
Mirza Faizan Asad, a cybercrime expert said, "It is not just enough to make efforts at the government level, which is, in some sense happening, but cybercrime affects hundreds of individual systems and firms, all of whom need to be ready with specialised teams."
Under such circumstances, the Narendra Modi's dream of a digital India is a very risky proposition. With ineffective IT infrastructure, poor monitoring and controlling facilities, inadequate security from the law enforcement agencies; the common people are increasingly vulnerable to fall prey to cybercrime and cyber theft. For example, online banking such as net banking makes a common man vulnerable of losing his life savings. With this kind loose checks and balances in places, how can the government aggressively pursue the Digital India bandwagon?
The ransom ware attacks are particularly in vogue now, being added to previously existing defacement and phishing crimes. Between 2013 and 2016, data analyses show that network probing and scanning – considered as the first step in detecting systems vulnerabilities so as to steal the sensitive data – comprised of 6.7% of all cases whilst malware and virus accounted for 17.2%.
With ineffective IT infrastructure, poor monitoring and controlling facilities, inadequate security from the law enforcement agencies, the common people are increasingly vulnerable to fall prey to the notorious and dangerous world of cyber-crime and cyber theft.

NIIT's schools program empowers 10 Million students across India
Brings computer-aided education to the doorsteps of over 16,600 schools in the country
Neemrana, Rajasthan, October 7, 2011: NIIT today achieved a significant milestone in its mission to take computer proficiency to the grass root levels, by imparting computer-based learning to 10 million students across India.
Through its `NIIT@School' program that offers computer education in Government and private schools, NIIT has been shaping the future of Indian students for over a decade now. NIIT's computer education movement, introduced for the first time in 371 Government schools in Tamil Nadu in 1999 through the Public Private Partnership model- now covers nearly 16,600 educational institutions across 18 States in the country. From Keylong (Himachal Pradesh), to Rameswaram (Tamil Nadu), and from Vandh (Gujarat) to Agartala (Tripura) the program spans the length and the breath of the country, reaching out to the students in the farthest and the remotest corners of India.
At an event held at the not-for-profit NIIT University campus in Neemrana to mark the 10 million milestone Mr. Kapil Sibal, Hon'ble Union Minister for Human Resource Development and Communications and IT, delivered the keynote address and felicitated outstanding students and teachers from across the country. Mr. Rajendra S Pawar, Chairman, NIIT, leading academicians, principals of various schools, bureaucrats and members of NIIT and NIIT University were also present on the occasion.
Mr. Sibal congratulated NIIT for its significant contribution in bridging the digital divide, by bringing the light of IT literacy into the lives of 10 million students. Sharing words of encouragement with students & teachers from Assam, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh, Delhi NCR and other parts of India, Mr. Sibal said that the objective now is to take the 10 million number to many more millions—and touch the entire community of India's school going children.
Children recognised for their exemplary performance included - Mahasweta Kumar from Mangaldoi Govt Girls Higher Secondary School, Darrang, Assam, who is the National winner of MindChampions Academy 2011 (a joint initiative with Viswanathan Anand for developing young minds through Chess). Anirudh Iyengar from Pune was also felicitated for completing the first IGNOU certificate program in Chess as a mind booster.
Touching the 10 million student count, involved creating 23,936 hours of content, setting up 1,07,209 computer based learning nodes, selecting, training, certifying 3,96,449 computer teachers, across Government and Private schools. NIIT has indirectly made a positive contribution to the general development of the villages where children are being taught computers. These villages in remote locations now enjoy power supply, telephone and Internet connectivity.
The schools program is based on NIIT's founding vision of Bringing People and Computers Together – Successfully. The initiative showcases how advances in technology and innovations in learning can be effectively harnessed to bring computer education within the reach of all, thereby providing every student an opportunity to participate in India's transformation to a knowledge society.
Speaking on the role of technology-based education in shaping young minds, Mr Rajendra S Pawar, Chairman, NIIT said, "Reaching the ten millionth school student is a significant achievement. A good education is the foundation for a great future and we are proud to be involved in shaping the future of Indian school children.'
"NIIT is committed to making ICT enabled education more affordable and accessible by devising new ways of learning and technology deployment,"added Mr. Pawar.
NIIT has been at the forefront of the global movement to bridge the digital divide, by bringing computer education to the doorsteps of children from all segments of society. The journey to empower 10 million students saw many significant milestones including initiatives like HIWEL (Hole-in-the-Wall) project that aims to take computers to underprivileged children. MindChampions Academy (MCA),a joint initiative of World Chess Champion Viswanthan Anand and NIIT to promote Chess in schools,set a new Guinness World Record in 2010 when 20,480 participants played Chess simultaneously, guided by Viswanathan Anand.NIIT's Schools program has received numerous recognitions during its journey, including the UNESCO award for innovation in education which led to the launch of Mobile Science Lab.
Mr. Hemant Sethi, President, School Learning Solutions & HiWEL, NIIT said, "NIIT has overcome every obstacle and crossed every divide, be it social or geographical, and has successfully reached out to school students across India through its ICT enabled education solutions. Today, we are proud to have empowered 10 million students. And as I look into the future, I can see the faces of another 10 million children, whose lives will be transformed by NIIT."

By George Avalos | gavalos@bayareanewsgroup.com | Bay Area News Group
PUBLISHED: March 16, 2016 at 7:08 a.m. | UPDATED: August 12, 2016 at 12:20 a.m.
SUNNYVALE — Google has agreed to pay $250 million to buy several Sunnyvale buildings where it could employ thousands of workers, which experts said Wednesday represents a fresh addition to the search giant's remarkable expansion in Silicon Valley.
The seller of the eight buildings is NetApp, which will become a tenant in portions of the property being acquired by Google, documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission show.
Mountain View-based Google bought eight buildings totaling 569,000 square feet, according to the filing. Potentially, 3,000 Google employees could work in the eight buildings.
Google has been on an expansion spree in the Bay Area, well beyond its headquarters in the GooglePlex in northern Mountain View. Industry watchers believe the expansion efforts by Google as well as other big players such as Apple and Facebook are justified, considering their skyrocketing revenue and profit trajectories.
"There are concerns about unicorns and tech startups, and those concerns are justified, but with Google and Apple, you are not talking unicorns," said Duffy D'Angelo, an executive vice president with commercial realty firm Colliers International. "It's hard to judge the capacity of what these companies ultimately need for space."
Google has been leasing and buying properties in an array of Silicon Valley locations in Mountain View and other cities. Sunnyvale is one of the high-priority expansion zones for Google, which has leased numerous properties there. That includes 1.9 million square feet in a single rental deal in Sunnyvale in late 2014 that at the time was believed to be the largest office lease in California in 15 years.
"This is a lot of space they are taking in Sunnyvale, and Google's goal appears to be to acquire as much as they can in this area," said David Vanoncini, managing partner with the San Jose office of commercial realty firm Kidder Mathews.
In the most recent deal, Google and NetApp agreed to structure the transaction as a sale and lease-back arrangement. The sale is expected to close by April 22, according to the filing.
Google's expansion efforts include proposals to develop big chunks of land at the NASA Ames Research Center in Mountain View, as well as a new office complex in Mountain View near its headquarters; property purchases in Palo Alto; the acquisition of much of a major office park in Redwood City; and a hunt for large office spaces in North San Jose.
In addition, Google has bought a building and leased another in high-profile sections of San Francisco.
"Google's expansion is not stopping any time soon," Vanoncini said. "And you also have Apple which is still active. Apple is looking at all sorts of stuff."
The expansions in Silicon Valley by an array of tech firms, large, medium and small, indicate that the region remains the top dog for high tech, despite being chased by upstart regions such as Texas and North Carolina that offer lower business and living costs.
"Silicon Valley is a lot more competitive and stronger than some people think it is," D'Angelo said. "Major companies continue to expand here."

Mercedes leapfrogs past Tesla on automated highway driving


Okay, folks, like everyone this time of year, I've been so busy running back and forth between San Antonio and home, trying to help out with the older boys so their mom can concentrate on taking care of the new baby and doing some healing herself. When I got to San Antonio last night, Jacob was working on a school project about The Battle at Bunker Hill. I thought it was so cool, I have to share a picture of it. I'm also including some pictures of Texas that I snapped while on the road...probably not a real good idea pulling over and taking pictures, but ohwell..
I love taking pictures of old houses and barns and this old stone home is over 100 years old..
I love the pictures. Thanks for sharing!!


Belgian five-piece Amenra have worked their religious-infused brand of Neurosis/Isis/Cult Of Luna-esque ('Cult Of NeurIsis', I've seen used as a shorthand elsewhere...) sludge metal since 2003, over the course of four full-lengths and countless EPs and splits, yet the touches of their sound that I've heard over the years have never really convinced me that they belong in the premier league of the genre. Latest full-length Mass V continues that lack of success, unfortunately, although the band's ability and expertise is clear from the four lengthy slabs of sludge on offer. Three nine-minute songs and a thirteen-minute one ensure that this is a voyage for devoted doombahs, and one with plenty of rewards.
The opening strums of Dearborn And Buried have a particularly ominous feel to them, continued with the heavy thuds as the percussion joins them. The previous mention of Neurosis is probably the best touchstone - Amenra sharing a similar grounded, earthier focus than Cult Of Luna or Isis' flights of fancies. Some elements are eternal, however; shrieking vocals, slow, grinding guitars with an unusual melodic edge, and slow, clanking percussion are the name of the game, and Amenra work wonders here, throwing in some spooky clean murmours towards the centre of the song that make it seem like some arcane religious experience taking place in the cave on the artwork. Just because we've heard it before doesn't mean that it's not compelling when done well, and this is done very well.
Soft, scraping ambience opens the following Boden, soon launching into slow, stately doom riffing backed by Van Eeckhout's despairing screeches. Some sinister spoken words seize your attention and make the track time fly by, it almost being a surprise when the song ends and À Mon Âme flows stately in, rather beautiful ambience joined by melodic riffage and building up to a noisier midsection. It soon quietens down again, strummed guitars and whispered vocals showing the band are as capable at the calm as at the storm. Closer Nowena I 9.10 continues this with some clean vocals, before Neurosis star Scott Kelly provides some guest shrieks and vibrant, pulsing riffage draws the track, and album, to a close. Good if not quite great, Amenra prove that they deserve to be on the same label as their influence, but are yet to make a real masterpiece. This is certainly a step closer, however.

Introducing Ashoka's Inaugural Class of Changemaker Schools
Cultivating empathy and empowering children to become effective changemakers in their communities isn't an add-on, or a brand-new concept: it starts with simply articulating, and then amplifying, how great teachers build empathy in students. Ashoka has set out to do just that, beginning with five...
Sympathy: Simply Ineffective or Actually Harmful?
Editor's Note: Ashoka imagines a world where education is truly transformational, where every child has mastered empathy—and would like to work with you to help build it. Join us on StartEmpathy.org, our new digital home for all things empathy, where you can learn why empathy matters, pick up...
Activate Empathy and Join the Movement to Teach What Matters
Empathy: em·pa·thy [em-puh-thee] It's a beautiful word, derived from the suffix -em (meaning "to make into, to put into, to get into") and -pathy (meaning "suffering"). What I consider especially beautiful about this word is that, unlike "sympathy" (which translates literally to "with" + "suffering"...
The solution to the latest bullying headlines? Forget legislation: It's time to Start Empathy.
Earlier this week, reports surfaced about an 11-year-old boy with autism, who was beaten up by a fellow student while waiting at the bus stop. The event was filmed on a student's cell phone, as his peers egged on his attacker, and subsequently uploaded to Facebook. It later emerged that Kaleb Kula...
From Political Apathy to Engagement with German Fellow Gregor Hackmack
Have you ever felt your politicians don't actually answer to you? That their rhetoric doesn't match their behavior and no one holds them accountable? That the sound bites on TV and the form letters don't get to the substance of the issues? In 2004, Ashoka Fellow Gregor Hackmack recognized that...

This curry is made with a tin of baked beans, some spices and some fresh chilli. Great for serving with rice or even as a topping on a sandwich. This curry would also be delicious served in a wrap with a little bit of chicken - just be imaginative and you'll come up with plenty of ways to serve this.
1. Heat the oil then add the mustard seeds. When they begin to pop, turn the heat down low and add the cumin seeds, turmeric and ground coriander.
2. Stir in the beans, salt and chilli powder, then simmer for a few minutes.
3. Finely chop the coriander and stir through the beans. Serve hot or cold.
This dish serves two to three people, depending on how you use it, but it can easily be adapted to serve more. Use a tin of chickpeas with added water if you want to alter this dish or if you don't like beans.

Q: Boot problems with Ubuntu 16.04 I have been running Ubuntu for several years with success.  I started with 12.04 LTS, then moved up to 14.04 LTS.  I updated to 16.04 LTS only a few days ago.  Since then I've had trouble getting the desktop to boot-up.
GRUB boots into Windows just fine.  If I boot to Windows, then re-boot into Ubuntu, it'll boot just fine.  The other way I can boot into Ubuntu successfully, is to boot using 'advanced options>Ubuntu' in GRUB.  Ubuntu will eventually boot up this way.  Something is wrong, but I'm not a Linux command line expert. I don't know how to troubleshoot this.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Extra info:

A: Be sure Hibernate is turned off in Windows XP. If hiberfil.sys is present, boot aborts without explanation.

Mozart - The Late Piano Concertos, Part 3
, Oct-08-2019 at 08:00 (3244 Views)
This week's Vinyl's Revenge completes our look at the TIME LIFE collection of Mozart's last ten piano concertos, with nos. 20, 24 and 26.
Two pianists featured this week merit some introduction. Karl Engel (1923 - 2006) was a Swiss pianist. He trained in Basel and Paris and distinguished himself as an accompanist, often appearing in Lieder recitals with Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, Hermann Prey, Peter Schreier and Brigitte Fassbaender. Among his chamber music partners were the cellist Pablo Casals, the violinist Yehudi Menuhin and the Melos Quartet. Karl Engel recorded the complete piano music of Mozart and of Robert Schumann and made numerous recordings with the singers Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, Hermann Prey, Brigitte Fassbaender, Peter Schreier et al. He also recorded a remarkable account of Stravinsky's Piano Concerto.
He later became particularly known for his complete cycle of Mozart piano concertos (recorded between 1974-1976) with the Mozarteum Orchestra Salzburg under Leopold Hager, from which TIME LIFE used his recording of the :Coronation" concerto, no. 26.
Fans of the Rolling Stones might — if they are fluent in the rarest of their ephemera — know the name Julius Katchen (1926 –1969), the only classical musician ever to be featured on their spirited television program Rock and Roll Circus. Katchen's appearance, playing De Falla and Mozart, speaks volumes about the vivid personality of the now-largely-forgotten Katchen, a kind of rock 'n' roll spirit in the form of a brilliant classical musician, replete with an early death at age forty-two. Mostly remembered for his Brahms performances, Katchen left a number of recordings of the Mozart concertos for DECCA, from which we get one of several recordings of him playing the K. 466 concerto.
To complete the trio, we included Clifford Curzon playing the K. 491 concerto – he left many recordings of this concerto in particular – from his LSO/Kertesz sessions.

The November 24, 1975 Middlesboro Daily News (Middlesboro, Kentucky) ran an editorial countering the "catastrophe theory" predictions made by the Club of Rome. Per usual, neither party got everything right. Excerpts appear below, along with the piece in its entirety.
In health care, for example, a cure for cancer will be found by 1995 and will be generally available in the early 21st Century.
Closer to the present, it's felt that within two years doctors should be able to detect most genetic defects before birth and be able to prevent them by the 1990s.
In transportation, an all plastic car, except for engine and drive train, will be common by 1990. So will the electric car. The service-free, accident-proof automobile is expected to be in widespread use by the year 2000.
Ditto for automated urban transit, after becoming technologically possible in 1985 and economically feasible 10 years later.
Also by 1995, aerospace experts predict an economic alternative to petroleum fuel and full use of it by 2010.
Daft punters! Doesn't anyone ever take into account market forces, ie. the evil oil and drug industries?
... another host of trends expected to improve the quality of lie in the 21st Century.
Now that's what I call a prediction!
I think these predictions were made in the shadow of the 1970's oil shocks. It was pretty much taken as fact that oil was on the brink of running out.
If oil had run out as they said, then yep, we'd probably be driving around in electric cars.
As it turned out, there was no pressing need to shift to a new auto technology.
Oil is always ready to run out, but nobody ever does anything about it. Like mass producing fuel efficient/electric cars. So what does that tell you? Yes, oil is not anywhere near running out. Now, the polar ice caps might be another story.
Got one partially right: here in Vancouver, Canada we got an automated rail system (mix of elevated & underground) in the mid 80s. Was it economically feasible at that point? Who knows what that means when government money is involved, but it probably was. The control system always used relatively standard PC servers I think, and could probably run on a cell phone today.
The train control systems are made by a division of Alcatel, one with an office here in Vancouver where they do at least some of the development. They've since installed similar systems in the far east, London, and Las Vegas. Ah, wikipedia says teh system is called SelTrac and has a page dedicated to it.

PlayStation Home arriving as open beta from Friday
Sony Computer Entertainment will open up its Home online virtual environment to all PlayStation 3 users from Friday, it said today.
Martyn Williams on 10 December, 2008 22:00
Home allows users to create their own avatars and participate in a real-time virtual world, something like a cross between the Mii avatars on Nintendo's Wii and the Second Life community. Users can interact with others through voice and text chat and the service also offers mini-games, videos and special events.
The opening up of the beta test, which has been anticipated for some time, follows several delays for the service. It was first unveiled in July 2007 and initially promised for a global release later that year but was pushed back once to early this year. It was again delayed due to Sony's desire to "refine" the service and rescheduled as a "fall" launch as an open beta.
From Friday Home will be available to any PlayStation 3 user that has their console hooked-up to a broadband internet connection. Users will be able to download the software from the PlayStation Network section of the menu.
"We are committed to providing PS3 users with exciting gaming experiences with PlayStation Home and together with our partners and users, expand the new world of interactive entertainment as we move forward," said Kaz Hirai, president and CEO of Sony's gaming unit in a statement.
Some content will vary by region.
In Europe and other PAL territories like New Zealand the environments will start with "Far Cry 2" and be joined soon by those for "Uncharted: Drake's Fortune," "Warhawk Resistance," "Motorstorm" and "SOCOM." European tie-ups include Atari, Electronic Arts, Midway, Sega and Ubisoft on the games side. Video content will also be available from Hexus TV and Eurogamer.
In North America virtual environments will be launched for the "Uncharted: Drake's Fortune," "Far Cry 2," "Warhawk Resistance" and "Guitar Hero" games in which users can talk strategy, discuss games and get additional content and clues. Sony said it is working with Activision, Disney Eidos, Electronic Arts, Lucas Arts, THQ and Ubisoft, to develop virtual environments among other content for PlayStation Home.
Commercial tie-ups with companies including drinks-company Red Bull, fashion-house Diesel and furniture-designer Ligne Roset will also bring content to the service.
In Japan content includes "Namco Museum" and lounges for the "Siren" and "Everybody's Golf" games. Sony also plans special events including a Christmas event and New Year countdown through the service.
More information is posted on the Playstation blog.

Find Calendly Com Pricing – 10 Million Users
Today we are going to be discussing Calendly Com Pricing…I have used Calendly in a handful of various ways. The most typical use case for myself is through my emailing and prospecting tool. I connect to a great deal of people through email. Lots of people don't want to put in the time to respond, so having a link in the email makes the scheduling procedure a lot easier. When I was using Calendly, my number of meetings increased.
Today comes news from a start-up that has belonged of that trend: Calendly, a popular cloud-based service that people utilize to set up and verify meeting times with others, has actually closed a financial investment of $350 million from OpenView Venture Partners and Iconiq.
The financing round consists of both secondary and main money (slightly more of the latter than the previous, from what I understand) and values the Atlanta-based start-up at over $3 billion.
Okay for a business that before now had actually raised just $550,000, consisting of the life savings of the creator and CEO, Tope Awotona, to at first get off the ground.
Calendly is a freemium software-as-a-service, developed around what is essentially an extremely easy piece of performance.
It's a platform that provides a fast way to manage open spaces in your calendar for people to book appointments with you in those areas, which then likewise books out the time in calendars like Google's or Microsoft Outlook– with a growing variety of tools to improve that experience, consisting of the capability to pay for a service in case your visit is not an organization conference however, say, a yoga class. Prices varieties from totally free (one calendar/one user/one event) to premium ($ 8/month) and professional ($ 12/month) for more calendars, combinations, functions and occasions, with larger plans for business likewise available.
Its development, meanwhile, has to date been based primarily around a really natural technique: Calendly welcomes ended up being links to Calendly itself, so individuals who utilize it and like it can (and do) start to use it, too.
The wide variety of its usage cases, and the virality of that growth strategy, have actually been winners. Calendly is currently profitable, and it has actually been for many years. And more just recently, it has actually seen a boost, particularly in the last twelve months, as brand-new Calendly users have actually emerged, as a result of how we are living.
We may not be doing more traditional "company meetings" per week, however the variety of meetings we now need to establish, has actually increased.
All of the serendipitous and unscripted encounters we utilized to have around a workplace, or a neighborhood coffee store, or the park? Those likewise require invites for online conferences.
And so do sessions with therapists, virtual supper celebrations, and even (where they can still happen) in-person meetings, which are often now occurring with more timed accuracy and more record-keeping, to keep social distancing and prospective contact tracing in much better order.
Currently, some 10 countless us are using Calendly for all of this on a month-to-month basis, with that number growing 1,180% in 2015. The army of service users from companies like Twilio, Zoom, and UCSF has been signed up with by instructors, entrepreneurs, contractors, and freelancers, the company states.
The company last year made about $70 million yearly in membership profits from its SaaS-based company model and seems positive that its aggregated revenues will not long from now get to $1 billion.
So while the secondary financing is going towards giving liquidity to existing investors and early staff members, Awotona stated the plan will be to utilize the main capital to purchase the business's service.
That will include developing out its platform with more tools and integrations– it started with and still has a considerable R&D operation in Kiev, Ukraine– expanding its operations with more skill (it currently has around 200 employees and plans to double headcount), additional service development and more. Calendly Com Pricing
2 significant carry on that front are also being announced with the funding: Jeff Diana is beginning as primary people officer with a mission to double the business's worker base. And Patrick Moran– previously of Quip and New Antique– is joing as Calendly's very first chief income officer. Notably, both are based in San Francisco– not Atlanta.
That focus for structure in San Francisco is already a huge change for Calendly. The start-up, which is going on 8 years old, has actually been rather off the radar for several years.
That is in part due to the truth that it raised really little money up to now (just $550,000 from a handful of investors that include OpenView, Atlanta Ventures, IncWell and Greenspring Associates).
It's likewise based in Atlanta, an increasingly significant city for innovation startups and other business but typically short on being credited for its heft in that department (SalesLoft, Amex-acquired Kabbage, OneTrust, Bakkt, and many others are based there, with others like Mailchimp likewise not too far).
And perhaps most of all, proactively courting promotion did not seem part of Calendly's growth playbook.
Calendly may have closed this huge round silently and continued to get on with service, were it not for a short Tweet last fall that indicated the company raising cash and shaping up to be a peaceful giant.
" The company's capital efficiency and what @TopeAwotona has actually built are worthy of way more credit than they get," it checked out. "Perhaps this will start to alter that acknowledgment."
Does Calendly have a free option? Calendly Com Pricing
After that short note on Twitter– flagged on TechCrunch's internal message board– I made a guess at Awotona's e-mail, sent out a note presenting myself, and waited to see if I would get a reply.
I eventually did get a response, in the form of a short note accepting chat, with a Calendly link (naturally) to choose a time.
( Thanks, unnamed TC author, for never ever discussing Calendly when Tope originally pitched you years ago: you may have whet his hunger to react to me.). Calendly Com Pricing

And Patrick Moran– previously of Quip and New Relic– is joing as Calendly's first chief revenue officer. Especially, both are based in San Francisco– not Atlanta.
That focus for building in San Francisco is already a big change for Calendly. The start-up, which is going on 8 years of ages, has actually been somewhat off the radar for many years.

Find How To Find Someone's Calendly – 10 Million Users
Today we are going to be discussing Calendly.com Pricing…I have actually used Calendly in a handful of different methods. My number of conferences increased when I was utilizing Calendly.
Today comes news from a start-up that has actually been a part of that pattern: Calendly, a popular cloud-based service that individuals use to establish and validate meeting times with others, has closed an investment of $350 million from OpenView Endeavor Partners and Iconiq.
The funding round includes both main and secondary cash (somewhat more of the latter than the previous, from what I understand) and values the Atlanta-based startup at over $3 billion.
Not bad for a company that before now had raised simply $550,000, consisting of the life savings of the creator and CEO, Tope Awotona, to initially get off the ground.
Calendly is a freemium software-as-a-service, built around what is basically a very basic piece of performance.
It's a platform that supplies a quick method to handle open spaces in your calendar for people to book visits with you in those spaces, which then also books out the time in calendars like Google's or Microsoft Outlook– with a growing number of tools to improve that experience, consisting of the ability to pay for a service in the event that your consultation is not an organization meeting but, say, a yoga class. Pricing varieties from free (one calendar/one user/one occasion) to premium ($ 8/month) and pro ($ 12/month) for more calendars, functions, combinations and occasions, with bigger bundles for enterprises likewise readily available.
Its growth, meanwhile, needs to date been based mainly around a very natural strategy: Calendly invites become links to Calendly itself, so individuals who use it and like it can (and do) start to use it, too.
The vast array of its usage cases, and the virality of that growth strategy, have actually been winners. Calendly is already successful, and it has been for several years. And more recently, it has seen an increase, specifically in the last twelve months, as brand-new Calendly users have actually emerged, as a result of how we are living.
We might not be doing more traditional "service conferences" weekly, but the number of conferences we now need to set up, has actually gone up.
All of the serendipitous and impromptu encounters we utilized to have around a workplace, or an area coffee bar, or the park? Those are now scheduled. Educators and students satisfying for a remote lesson? Those also require invitations for online meetings.
Therefore do sessions with therapists, virtual dinner parties, and even (where they can still occur) in-person conferences, which are often now occurring with more timed accuracy and more record-keeping, to keep social distancing and possible contact tracing in much better order.
Currently, some 10 countless us are utilizing Calendly for all of this on a monthly basis, with that number growing 1,180% in 2015. The army of company users from business like Twilio, Zoom, and UCSF has been signed up with by teachers, entrepreneurs, specialists, and freelancers, the business says.
The business last year made about $70 million yearly in subscription revenues from its SaaS-based organization design and appears confident that its aggregated earnings will not long from now get to $1 billion.
While the secondary financing is going towards offering liquidity to existing investors and early staff members, Awotona stated the strategy will be to use the primary capital to invest in the company's business.
That will include developing out its platform with more tools and integrations– it started with and still has a significant R&D operation in Kiev, Ukraine– expanding its operations with more talent (it presently has around 200 staff members and strategies to double headcount), more business advancement and more.

Two notable moves on that front are also being announced with the financing: Jeff Diana is beginning as primary individuals officer with a mission to double the company's staff member base.

History of Rotary
The world's first service club, the Rotary Club of Chicago, Illinois, USA, was formed on 23 February 1905 by Paul P. Harris, an attorney who wished to recapture in a professional club the same friendly spirit he had felt in the small towns of his youth.
The name "Rotary" derived from the early practice of rotating meetings among members' offices. President Brian said his main aims where to uphold the Rotary motto of "Service above Self" and to endeavour to raise the awareness of the Rotary movement both at District and International level.
Rotary's popularity spread throughout the United States in the decade that followed; clubs were chartered from San Francisco to New York. By 1921, Rotary clubs had been formed on six continents, and the organisation adopted the name Rotary International a year later.
As Rotary grew, its mission expanded beyond serving the professional and social interests of club members. Rotarians began pooling their resources and contributing their talents to help serve communities in need. "Rotary is a worldwide organisation of business and professional leaders that provide humanitarian service, encourages high ethical standards in all vocations, and helps build goodwill and peace in the world".Today, 1.2 million Rotarians belong to more than 32,000 Rotary clubs in more than 200 countries and geographical areas.
An endowment fund, set up by Rotarians in 1917 "for doing good in the world," became a not-for-profit corporation known as The Rotary Foundation in 1928. In 1947, it launched the Foundation's first programme graduate fellowships, now called Ambassadorial. Today, contributions to The Rotary Foundation total more than US$80 million annually and support a wide range of humanitarian grants and educational programmes that enable Rotarians to bring hope and promote international understanding throughout the world.
Charitable Endeavours
In 1985, Rotary made a historic commitment to immunise all of the world's children against polio. Working in partnership with nongovernmental organizations and national governments through its PolioPlus programme, Rotary is the largest private-sector contributor to the global polio eradication campaign.
As it approached the dawn of the 21st century, Rotary worked to meet the changing needs of society, expanding its service effort to address such pressing issues as environmental degradation, illiteracy, world hunger, and children at risk.

Senate Passes Feinstein Bill Completing 25-year Effort to Protect California Desert
by Senator Dianne Feinstein February 12, 2019
Washington February 12, 2019 – The Senate today passed a package of public lands bills that includes the California Desert Protection and Recreation Act, a bill authored by Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) to update and expand protections for 716,000 acres of California desert.
"This bill is the completion of a 25-year effort to better manage the California desert," Feinstein said. "It fulfills the promise I made to off-roaders and environmental groups that we wouldn't stop with the 1994 bill. More importantly, it shows that by working together we can expand protections for this region while ensuring it remains open for all visitors to enjoy.
"Teeming with life – from desert tortoises to bighorn sheep, breathtaking wildflower blooms to iconic Joshua trees – few places rival the unique beauty of California's desert. The desert is a defining part of California's landscape and we have a responsibility to preserve it for generations to come."
The legislation builds upon the legacy of the California Desert Protection Act, Senator Feinstein's landmark legislation passed in 1994 that established Death Valley National Park, Joshua Tree National Park, the Mojave National Preserve and protected more than 7.6 million acres of California desert wilderness.
In 2016, Senator Feinstein asked President Obama to expand protections for the desert by creating the Mojave Trails, Sand to Snow and Castle Mountains national monuments. Those new public lands will also benefit from this legislation.
This bill would finish efforts started in 1994 to restore and protect the desert and its surrounding communities. The combined acreage of the original legislation, the monument designations and the new legislation represents the largest effort to protect public lands in the lower 48 states. It is the result of years of engagement with a range of stakeholders including local and state government officials, environmental groups, off-highway recreation enthusiasts, cattle ranchers, mining interests, the Department of Defense and California's public utility companies.
Key provisions of the legislation:
Protects more than 375,000 acres of wilderness: Creates eight new Bureau of Land Management wilderness areas totaling 280,360 acres, expands Death Valley National Park Wilderness by 88,000 acres and adds 7,141 acres to the San Gorgonio Wilderness within San Bernardino National Forest.
National Park land: Expands Joshua Tree National Park by 4,518 acres and Death Valley National Park by 35,292 acres, which includes 1,600 acres donated by the Mojave Desert Land Trust.
Off-highway vehicle recreation areas: Permanently designates six existing off-highway vehicle recreational areas covering more than 200,000 acres, ensuring off-highway enthusiasts will have continued access to those areas to enjoy trail riding while protecting more sensitive areas from vehicle use.
Alabama Hills National Scenic Area: Designates 18,610 acres of BLM land in Inyo County as the Alabama Hills National Scenic Area, preserving it for continued recreation and conservation.
Vinagre Wash Special Management Area: Designates 81,800 acres in Imperial County that provides for wilderness preservation, vehicular use on designated routes, and limitations on extractive uses of the land within the management area.
Wild and Scenic Rivers: Designates 77 miles of waterways as Wild and Scenic Rivers.


Up until now there has been no good way to make selective electrodes that can be guided in multiple directions. We have created a prototype model of micro catheter with active guide wire which has two bending degrees of freedom. Such electrodes could be useful in the placement of medical devices such as catheters.
Researchers at UNR have achieved steerable cylindrical electrodes by interdigitated selective electrodes in the surface of polymers. These selective electrodes can be used to mimic the muscle-like behavior seen in nature. Method of producing these electrodes have also been patented. By using simulators (whose conditions are similar to those of a body cavity), we have also carried out simulation experiments "in vitro". The experimental results indicate that the proposed micro catheter with active guide wire is applicable to intra-cavity operations.
The disclosed methods and actuators/sensors produced can be used in various medical devices.
The resulting tube is electrically controllable.
The tube can be guided through the smallest veins.
This results in faster more accurate placement of catheters.
Methods of fabricating multi-degree of freedom shaped electroactive polymer actuators/sensors for catheters.

This jumped out at me and I purchased it. I knew it could be used to track all the food I'm eating and weight.. however, the ability to get to my BodyFat% goal is really a focus of mine more than scale weight.
"Unfortunately, the program is setup to only allow weight as a goal and not body fat percentage."
So why does the main page to purchase state it can do body fat percentage? Is this misleading advertising? YES.
However, better than fitday having to remove that .. why not build it into program similar to how we can just enter a scale weight and show a graph for it.. sounds fairly simple to do and perhaps allow it to be shown on overview page or reports? This would be great especially for those close to scale weight goal and looking to focus on sculpting (less fat/more muscle).
Thoughts? False Advertising? Like the idea of this being added and well, fitday "delivering on what they are saying" so it's not FALSE ADVERTISING ?
again.. I'm a fan of what I see.. just like to see it match what they state which influenced my purchase.
Dave, this is unfortunate. There are a couple of workarounds, if you have Premium, you can set up custom fields on-line and use one for tracking fat percentage. It will not sync with PC, however. This is what I use to track fat percentage. Alternately, one could recored it in the Diary function of PC. You'd have a record of it, but no facility to generate a report.
One would hope that the advertisement (or better yet, the software) would be modified sooner, rather than later to reflect this.

Welcome! Thank you for your interest in State of Oklahoma employment!
Classified positions are subject to the Merit System of Personnel Administration . About 70 percent of the State of Oklahoma's 34,000 employees serve in classified positions, which are packed based on capability as demonstrated through competitive examinations or other competitive scoring methods.
To help state agency hiring managers attract diverse candidates, the Merit System includes outreach recruitment programs. If you are eligible for one of the special hiring programs, you can apply through the links below or through the regular process.
The Optional Program for Hiring Applicants with Disabilities exempts disabled persons from the examination requirement.
The Special Disabled Veterans Employment Act gives disabled vets the same chance along with extra preference points.
Some classified job openings are only available as internal promotional opportunities to current, permanent classified employees or former employees eligible for reinstatement.
Unclassified positions are not subject to the Merit System. The remaining third of state employees serve in unclassified roles, which are packed based on background and practice as introduced in resumes and during interviews. Practices may vary from one agency to another.
The Carl Albert Public Internship Program provides paid internships for both graduate and undergraduate students. Undergraduates are employed as unclassified temporaries for one or two academic semesters or 999 hours. Executive Fellows (graduates) may intern in unclassified positions for up to two years. Students who successfully accomplish the two-year program are eligible for appointment to a permanent classified or unclassified position.
The State Work Incentive Program permits agency managers to hire participants in the Makeshift Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) service as unclassified employees. Employees who finish two years of continuous participation in the Incentive Program are eligible for appointment to permanent classified status.

Q: How to make multiple options selected while using  in struts? One thing I learned today is "there is no selected property in
<html:option>
like plain old option" , we can give value in
<html:select>
that matches the value against each option and if match found marks the option selected.
but I want to make multiple options pre-selected on page load(am using
<html:select multiple="true">

How can it be achieved?

A: Implement the following:

*

*If possible use JavaScript to make the selected entries true for the
multiple entries u had made in that select list

*Make it selected by using Java-script first by calling javascript
function before any action OR with that action :

function callSelectAll(selectName)
{
    var i;
    for(i=0;i<...) {
        document.getElementById(selectName).options[i].selected = true;
    }

}

And use String[] array name as a property name for that html:select property form bean property. And the name of that array as a property of that html:select in jsp page.
You will ultimatly gate the all selected values un the that string array of form bean.

The kidneys are the waste removal system of the body, filtering out toxins and creating waste to get rid of it. Kidneys can be damaged through the abuse of alcohol and hard drugs like crystal meth and heroin. Kidney failure can result after surgeries, health complications, or as a solitary issue later in life.
The liver is responsible for aiding in many of the body's functions and supporting emotional health. A healthy liver is a healthy life. Alcohol most strongly affects the liver, damaging it over time. Cirrhosis and liver disease can be long term issues. If health doesn't change in recovery, even though drugs and alcohol are removed, the liver can weaken over time and eventually fail.
Addiction and alcoholism affect the brain. Alcohol can cause "wet brain syndrome" in which there is little chance of recovering normal cognitive function. Overtime, drug use can cause permanent psychosis and paranoia. Brain health is best supported by abstinence from drugs and alcohol in addition to a nutritious diet.
Stimulant drugs speed the heart rate up to dangerous high. Depressant drugs slow the heart rate down to a dangerous low. Alcoholism can increase blood pressure and clog the arteries. Eating disorders weaken the heart due to malnourishment. Poor health and nutrition choices which deprive the heart of nutrients are saturate it with too much fat can lead to heart failure.
Smoking drugs like cocaine, crack, heroin, synthetic drugs, opioid drugs, and crystal meth can lead to long term lung damage which can eventually cause lung cancer. Smoking cigarettes commonly accompanies alcohol abuse, which can cause cancer in the throat, mouth, and lungs.
Bone density can be affected by illness and a weakened immune system, which is caused by substance abuse. Fragile bones can mean more breaks and hospitalizations, which can lead to more sickness and disease. Inflammation of the bones can also cause heart problems.
Intravenous drug users destroy their veins. Long term damage to the veins can lead to problems with circulation, which can affect the heart, cause inflammation and serious health complications.
The best way to try to prevent long term consequences of substance abuse is to stop abusing substances and develop a healthy lifestyle through recovery.
If you or a loved one are struggling with addiction and you don't know what to do, Hired Power is here to help. Our recovery services are designed to help you focus on recovery one step at a time while we coordinate the details. Bringing recovery home is what we do.
