A liberal newspaper, joined by restless conservatives, are picking apart a new accusation about Brett Kavanaugh in college while a top aide to President Donald Trump is blaming Democrats and the "MeToo Movement" for attempting to destroy the nominee.
Deborah Ramirez, a former Yale classmate of Kavanaugh, told The New Yorker that he might have exposed himself to her at a drunken party, making her the second woman to accuse him of inappropriate behavior after California professor Dr. Christine Ford accused him of sexual assault as a high school teenager.
But what was supposed to be a blockbuster accusation – and delay the confirmation process, if not destroy Kavanaugh's nomination – is being ripped to shreds by none other than The New York Times, which said it interviewed "several dozen people" but found no one to corroborate Ramirez's claim.
"Ms. Ramirez herself contacted former Yale classmates," the Times also reported, "asking if they recalled the incident and told some of them that she could not be certain Mr. Kavanaugh was the one who exposed himself."
The same Times story also pointed out that Ramirez did not initially confirm the accusations against Kavanaugh but later told The New Yorker --- six days later after "carefully assessing her memories and consulting with her attorney" --- that the incident had occurred.
The closest The New Yorker story got to a first-hand account was an unnamed classmate who said he was "one hundred percent sure" that another classmate claimed at the time that the student who exposed himself to Ramirez was Kavanaugh.
In a statement, Kavanaugh denied the latest allegation and called it "a smear, plain and simple."
"Are we going to put decades of pent-up demand for women to feel whole on one man's shoulders?" Kellaynne Conway complained to the CBS "This Morning" show on Sunday.
She likened the newest accusations to a "vast left-wing conspiracy," a reference to Hillary Clinton's claims of Republicans trying to defeat her and her husband during his term as president.
National Review, meanwhile, published a weekend editorial slamming The New Yorker for its "shoddy" story that depends on hearsay and lacks a first-hand account of the incident.
After reviewing The New Yorker story, conservative pundits are suggesting that last week's week's successful delay of a Monday hearing, now scheduled for Thursday, was an successful attempt by Democrats to coordinate behind the scenes to buy more time to publish The New Yorker story.
Senate Republicans, amid accusations from Democrats of "bullying" Ford over a hearing, offered Ford a closed-door hearing, and even offered to interview her in California, after she claimed she did not want to fly to Washington, D.C. for fear of her safety.
"Do you even realize," Dinesh D'Souza tweeted to Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley (pictured at right), "that in trying to play the gentleman that you've been played?"
"Only in Washington," wrote radio talk show host Steve Deace, "Republicans can delay a vote to give Democrats more time to smear their nominee with uncorroborated claims."
"Dear Republicans," complained blogger Matt Walsh on Twitter, "stop being cowards and confirm Kavanaugh."
Britt Hume of Fox news noted that The New York Times had done its own digging on the newest accusation but found the claim "shaky" and passed.


Anything whereby we may glorify God is a talent. Our gifts, our influence, our money, our knowledge, our health, our strength, our time, our senses, our reason, our intellect, our memory, our affections, our privileges as members of Christ's Church, our advantages as possessors of the Bible – all, all are talents. Whence came these things? What hand bestowed them? Why are we what we are? Why are we not the worms that crawl on the earth? There is only one answer to these questions. All that we have is a loan from God. We are God's stewards. We are God's debtors. Let this thought sink deeply into our hearts.
Sins such as envy, jealousy, covetousness, and greed very markedly reveal a focus on self. Instead you are to please God and bless others by practicing biblical stewardship which is to care for and give of the physical and spiritual resources that God has provided for you.
Reference: Self-Confrontation Manuel, Lesson 10, Page 4, Used by Permission of the Biblical Counseling Foundation.
All Christians are but God's stewards. Everything we have is on loan from the Lord, entrusted to us for a while to use in serving Him.
Reference: 1 Corinthians, Moody, 1984, p. 108.
Five pitfalls to faithful stewardship: 1. Laziness – failing to invest our talents. 2. Lack of faithfulness in what we consider small responsibilities. 3. Thinking that we ourselves are the source of our gifts and abilities. 4. Sowing to the flesh – doing things that serve and please ourselves. 5. Striving for earthly treasures – focusing on the present instead of eternity in heaven.

Paris among 16 French regions set to go into lockdown for a month from midnight tomorrow
Paris is among 16 regions of France facing new lockdowns from midnight tomorrow, the country's prime minister Jean Castex has announced.
He said the nation was in a third wave because of coronavirus variants.
Schools will remain open under the latest measures, but all non-essential shops will be required to close.
The lockdown will last for a month.
French authorities have gone to great lengths to avoid re-imposing the strictest measures, having previously opted for weekend lockdowns and nightly curfews instead.
Skyrocketing case numbers, however, along with a slow vaccine rollout has forced the government to bolster its strategy.
It comes as France on Thursday reported a further 34,998 cases of COVID-19 – down slightly from the more than 38,000 new infections the day before.
Another 268 people have also died, bringing the country's total fatality toll to 91,679.

The Latin American currency that I recommend to buy in 2010 change of mood in global markets product of a more rapid recovery than expected initially, is leading investors to inspect high-risk options. In this adventure, the Latin American currencies appear as the major beneficiaries. Positive U.S. employment data.UU. Kerry King can provide more clarity in the matter. they eventually confirm that the economic recovery is gaining more strength than anticipated.
As I mentioned in the preceding article, manufactures in the major economies have observed an interesting recovery of the hand of the standardization of international trade. Fears of a relapse of the economic recovery are slowly disappearing since although many potential triggers of new crises, scattered around the world, are still present, their probability of occurrence is reduced gradually as recovery takes force. On the return of appetite for risk, Enrique alvarez, Global IDEA analyst said: I think that the risk appetite has risen parallel to the high yields. That is still holding the improvement of Latin American currencies, particularly where they have high rates, as it is the case of Mexico, Brazil and Colombia. Manuel Garcia Ospina, director of economic research and Active Allocation in Bogota, coincided with Alvarez in its appreciation by the greater appetite for risk by international investors: investors are in search of better opportunities. Thus, while rates in the United States and other countries remain low, capital will flow towards risky assets. Do continue reading investment and what expect from the actions of Wall Street? Which companies buy this year? All the details here.

Michael Dawson est un personnage fictif du feuilleton télévisé Lost : Les Disparus. Il est interprété par l'acteur Harold Perrineau Jr..

Père de Walt, Michael travaillait dans le bâtiment et avait pour ambition d'être dessinateur. Séparé de son fils depuis 9 ans, il le retrouve à la mort de Susan Lloyd, la mère de Walt. Alors qu'ils rentrent en direction de Los Angeles depuis Sydney, leur avion s'écrase sur une île du Pacifique sud. Après avoir tenté de quitter l'île en radeau avec Walt, ce dernier est enlevé par les mystérieux habitants de l'île. Michael passe son temps à retrouver Walt et parvient à quitter l'île avec lui après le meurtre de deux autres rescapés de l'avion. La culpabilité l'oblige à revenir sur l'île sur un cargo où il meurt à la suite d'une explosion.

Biographie fictive

Avant le crash

Susan Lloyd quitte Michael après la naissance de leur fils Walt et l'emmène avec elle à Amsterdam. Deux ans après, Susan lui dit qu'elle a l'intention de se marier. Michael est peu après renversé par une voiture, il est hospitalisé pendant des mois. Susan le retrouve à l'hôpital et essaye de le convaincre d'abandonner ses droits parentaux afin que son nouveau mari puisse adopter Walt. Michael refuse, mais Susan finit par le convaincre que c'est la meilleure solution pour Walt. Plusieurs années après, Susan meurt, et son mari demande à Michael de prendre la garde de Walt, qui habite maintenant en Australie. Michael accepte, mais juste avant le vol de retour, il appelle sa mère et lui demande si elle peut prendre Walt à la place.

Après le crash

Leur avion s'écrase sur une île dans le Pacifique sud ; Michael, Walt et le chien de Walt, Vincent, sont parmi les survivants. Après que Vincent s'enfuit dans la jungle, Michael le recherche, mais en vain ; il est plus tard rendu à Michael par Locke. En dépit de ce geste, Michael est sceptique au sujet de Locke, et ne veut pas que Walt passe du temps avec lui. Lorsque Michael est attaqué par un survivant coréen, Jin, à cause de la montre en or que Michael a commencé à porter, Sun, l'épouse de Jin, lui explique que c'est la montre de son père et révèle de cette manière qu'elle parle anglais. Michael commence à construire un radeau, dans l'espoir que lui et Walt quittent l'île. Lorsque son radeau brûle, Michael soupçonne Jin, mais Walt admet plus tard que c'était lui car il ne voulait pas quitter l'île. Lorsque Sun révèle sa capacité de parler anglais à Jin, ce dernier souhaite aider Michael à construire un deuxième radeau. Ils offrent la dernière place à bord du radeau à Sawyer. Michael quitte donc l'île en compagnie de Jin, Sawyer et Walt mais peu après leur départ, ils rencontrent un petit bateau de pêche. Les occupants du bateau s'avèrent être les « Autres », les mystérieux habitants de l'île, et enlèvent Walt avant de brûler leur radeau.

Michael et Sawyer échouent au milieu de l'océan. Lorsqu'ils arrivent sur une plage, ils découvrent Jin avant d'être assommés par un des survivants de la queue de l'avion. Après avoir convaincu les survivants de la queue qu'ils étaient sur le même avion, ils rejoignent le camp des survivants du fuselage. Plus tard, Michael propose son aide pour rentrer les chiffres dans l'ordinateur situé dans le bunker que les survivants ont trouvé. Il commence alors à recevoir des messages sur l'ordinateur de quelqu'un qu'il pense être Walt, qui lui donne des indications sur le lieu où il se trouve. Michael part alors à sa recherche mais se fait enlever par deux « Autres ». Michael doit libérer leur chef, Benjamin Linus, qui est prisonnier dans le bunker, puis leur apporter Sawyer, Kate, Jack et Hurley, et en échange, ils libèreront Walt et les laisseront quitter l'île. Pour libèrer leur chef, Michael tue Ana Lucia, qui gardait Benjamin Linus, ainsi que Libby, parce qu'elle a assisté à la scène. Il réussit ensuite à emmener les quatre survivants aux « Autres » et Ben donne à Michael et Walt un bateau et les coordonnées à suivre pour quitter l'île.

Après leur départ de l'île, ils parviennent à retourner à New York, où Michael remet Walt à la grand-mère de ce dernier. Michael essaye alors de se suicider, étant incapable de faire face à la culpabilité de ses meurtres. Tom, un des « Autres », arrive à ce moment-là et dit à Michael qu'il peut se racheter en sauvant les autres survivants d'une menace imminente. Tom donne à Michael un passeport sous le nom de « Kevin Johnson » afin d'infiltrer un cargo qui essaye de trouver l'île. Sur le cargo, il reçoit un appel de Ben qui lui demande de lui envoyer des informations sur tout l'équipage et de saboter la salle radio ainsi que les moteurs du bateau. Quelques jours après, Michael rencontre Sayid et Desmond, qui sont parvenus à partir de l'île. Ils informent le capitaine du cargo de la véritable identité de Michael, qui lui ordonne de réparer les moteurs. Lorsqu'une bombe est découverte sur le cargo, Michael et Jin tentent de la désamorcer. Michael empêche la batterie d'actionner la bombe avec de l'azote liquide mais lorsque l'approvisionnement commence à s'épuiser, il dit à Jin de partir puis Christian Shephard apparaît à Michael et lui dit qu'il peut maintenant partir. La bombe détone et Michael est tué dans l'explosion.

Après sa mort, Michael apparait comme fantôme à Hurley et lui annonce que l'explosion de l'avion du vol Ajira 316 aura pour conséquence la mort de beaucoup de personnes. Il lui révèle également que les chuchotements que les rescapés ont pu entendre dans la jungle correspondent à des personnes déjà mortes sur l'île

A member of the Québec Bar and the Law Society of Upper Canada, he developed a practice specializing in business and environmental law, serving a number of local and multinational clients mainly in the fields of natural resources and environmental services.
Mr. McCarty joined ITCan in 1997 and two years later was appointed Vice President, Law, and General Counsel. In addition to managing the Law Division, he sat on the company's board of directors and was a member of its Canada Leadership Team. He notably oversaw a number of major financial transactions and commercial restructurings, and guided the company through events and issues that have shaped and defined the business activities not only of the company but of the industry. He also implemented innovative legal strategies for the management of major litigation and in 2005 received the Canadian General Counsel Award, presented by National Post and ZSA Legal Recruitment, in the category of Litigation Management and Corporate Restructuring.
"This appointment to the leadership of our firm is part of the ongoing implementation of our strategic vision," said Richard Dolan, chairman of Lavery's board. "For many years, Lavery has been known for its business law positioning and for a range of services focused on the needs of the business community.

PFP Chair: On American racism and the Peace & Freedom Party
Talking points on Prop 14
Protect voter choice! No on Prop 14!
Take action against Prop 14
The wrong solution to a real problem
The real solution for moderates
Some Prop 14 election scenarios
San Francisco Labor Council press conference
No on Prop 14 Theatre
More information on Prop 14
Stop Top Two campaign
Prop 14 damages democracy and disenfranchises voters by limiting choices. If Prop 14 passes, voters would only see Democrats and Republicans on the ballot in the general election, for some offices just two Democrats or two Republicans. Many voters would have no one to vote for in November.
Prop 14 favors incumbents. In Louisiana and Washington, the two states that have used a "top two" primary like Prop 14 would bring to California, almost no incumbents have ever lost. It makes sense that this would happen, since it magnifies the advantages of money and name recognition by requiring candidates to win two elections before all voters in order to be elected.
Prop 14 eliminates independent, third party and write-in candidates from general elections. If Prop 14 passes, the only situation in which candidates outside the political establishment would appear on the general election ballot is when only one insider candidate even bothers to run in the primary. However, Prop 14 also makes it more difficult for third party candidates even to run in primary elections, so even that will happen less often. Though write-in blanks would still appear on general election ballots, Prop 14 would ban counting of write-in votes in general elections.
Prop 14 is Schwarzenegger's scheme to rig elections for big business. The main backer of Prop 14 is Governor Schwarzenegger, who with Abel Maldonado forced the legislature to put it on the ballot as part of the February 2009 budget deal. They promote it because they think it will help elect "moderate" politicians by which they mean pro-business Republicans and Democrats who won't let social issues, workers' rights or anti-tax fanaticism get in the way of using the power of government to make corporations more profitable.
Prop 14 allows candidates to hide their party affiliations. Currently, candidates' party affiliations are shown on the ballot, and candidates can't change party at the last minute. Many voters rely on this to help decide who to vote for. Prop 14 would allow candidates who are actually in a party to leave their affiliation off the ballot and to nominally change party just before filing in order to have a more electable affiliation shown on the ballot.
Prop 14 won't do what its backers claims it would do. They claim that it will open up the candidate selection process to ordinary citizens, resulting in less partisan, more moderate elected officials who will work together better. However, the legislatures in Louisiana and Washington, and the Congressional delegations from those states, haven't been any less partisan than California's. Further, it would actually reduce the role of voters in determining who would make it to the general election ballot. This is because having many candidates in the primary from both major parties could result in two Democrats or two Republicans on the general election ballot even for potentially competitive seats, so Democratic and Republican party leaders' closed door meetings to choose candidates would become even more important than they are already.
Prop 14 wouldn't establish an open primary even though proponents say it would. The correct name for this proposal is "non-partisan blanket primary" or just "top two". In open primaries, candidates from all parties advance to the general election. But "open" sounds good and, in fact, it covers up the reduction in voter choice inherent in this proposal.
Prop 14 would decrease voter turnout. First, it moves much of the political action from November to June, when fewer people vote. Second, with fewer choices on the general election ballot, it stands to reason that fewer voters will bother to vote in November.
Vote NO on Proposition 14

Fauci 'Strongly' Warns Against Hugging and Kissing on New Year's Eve
Dr. Anthony Fauci is "strongly" warning against hugging and kissing your friends and loved ones on New Year's Eve this year.
Fauci also told people to avoid large gatherings during the White House COVID-19 briefing on Wednesday.
"If your plans are to go to a 40- to 50-person New Year's Eve party with all the bells and whistles and everybody hugging and kissing and wishing each other a happy new year, I would strongly recommend that this year we do not do that," Fauci said.
Instead, he told people to have smaller gatherings with people who are "boosted."
"If you were in a situation with a family setting, in your home, with family—parents, children, grandparents—and everyone is vaccinated and boosted, although the risk is never zero in anything, the risk is low enough that we feel you should continue to go through with those plans of having a home-related, vaccinated, boosted gathering with family and close friends who are also vaccinated and boosted," Fauci said.
"So, it really depends on what your plans are," he added.

Q: how to install Commerce Server 2007 Staging (grayed out on mine and my collegue's box)?
I need to use CS Staging API to do some tests with a remote server.
However, the Staging option is grayed out for me and my colleague, at least
when i try to install the MSDN version (both Enterprise and Developer).
Any idea how can I at least use the Staging API with the remote server?
(I do not care whether I've got a local server or not)
Thanks in advance

In the beginning of 2014 we moved into a new apartment. Up until then our children hadn't been sick much but now they begun to get ill more frequently, Roope in particular kept getting feverish and had colds. We were thinking that the apartment may be damp. At the end of March Roope developed a limp on his left leg. This was surprising as Roope hadn't hurt his leg anywhere. Roope only wanted to be carried around as he didn't want to walk and even playtime was unusually subdued. At home Roope could spend the day just lying down on the floor.
In the beginning of April we went to our local health centre because of the limp and the doctor there referred us to the paediatric unit for more examinations at KAKS (Kainuu Central Hospital). Roope had elevated CRP values even though he wasn't sick at the time. In Kajaani he got an ultrasound and images taken of his hip. We were admitted into the ward. The doctor said that rheumatism in children can sometime first occur this violently.
Soon after rheumatism was excluded as a possibility. We spent about a week in the ward and went home with a course of antibiotics and a suspected infection of the bones. Roope was feeling a little bit better. In the beginning of May we were able to move into a new apartment which saw an end to our children being ill.
It was June. I married my now husband on June 7th, on Roope's name day. I was so happy, I had a wonderful husband and two healthy children. After mid summer Roope started complaining of a pain in his leg again. I called the paediatric unit on the same day and we got an appointment for the following day. We got an urgent referral to OYS (Oulu University Hospital).
On July 4th Roope was scheduled in for an MRI scan first thing in the morning. We were still thinking this was a case of an infection in the bone. Soon after they told us that something was showing in the scan and that they couldn't rule out malignancy. I asked do you mean cancer? The answer was yes.
The unltrasound revealed a large tumour in the upper abdomen, 7.5cm x 6.7cm x 9.3cm. Also a smaller metastases sized 5.1cm x 6.7cm x 5.8cm. They suspected Roope had neuroblastoma. We were able to go home for the weekend, but had to return to OYS ward 51 on Sunday.
After several examinations it was confirmed that Roope had a metastatic neuroblastoma stage 4. It had spread into his bone marrow and was present in several places in his bones. The treatment began as soon as the diagnosis was confirmed.
Before Christmas 2014 we were told that the treatment hadn't worked as well as they had expected. The bone marrow still showed signs of the illness. We had to start thinking about different treatment options that would slow down the progression of the disease. Roope's tumour and metastases were successfully removed in an operation at the end of January 2015.
Roope received a few extra courses of chemotherapy, but his gone marrow would not get clean. At the end of March we began palliative care.
In May we had another bone marrow biopsy. A couple of days later we got a phonecall saying that the disease was present in a sample that had previously been clear. We were urged to travel to all the places we had planned on visiting because we could not be sure for how much longer Roope would be able to do this. I remember crying in the swing in the back yard after that phone call as I was watching our children jumping on the trampoline. How can this child be so ill? He was full of life.
Next week we got a phone call from Oulu. They told us there had been a miracle. There were no signs of the disease in the more detailed samples, so we could continue on our course of treatments! In the beginning of June we went in to OYS for stem cell harvesting. After mid summer we were admitted to the ward for an autologous stem cell transplant. Roope was able to come home towards the end of July.
In September 2015 we began radiation therapy. Roope received radiation 14 times and the treatment was administered without general anaesthetic as Roope had showed great courage during the planning stages. How proud I was of my little fighter.
In the beginning of Ocotber we underwent treatment response evaluations for about a week. The disease had stayed away, even from the bone marrow! It felt incredible to finally be at that point.
The Roaccutan treatment is still ongoing for another few months. In January 2016 we have the next scheduled bone marrow biopsy. All we can do is hope and pray that this disease has finally left our child alone.
At the moment Roope is doing well. His hair has started to grow back, dark this time. We can spend time at home with the whole family. The doctor has also permitted us to move around more freely as his blood test results have been ok for a while now. If all goes well, our family will get another member in the spring. Roope and his little sister will get a baby sibling, expected in May. My due date is the same as when I was expecting Roope; May 20th.


A lot of people fear the egg. I for one do. Not consuming les œufs — that part I love — but preparing them. The thought of trying to poach an egg correctly sends shivers down my spine, and mastering the art of the French omelet? An even more unbearable undertaking I can't wrap my head around.
For one of the most versatile protein options out there, eggs can be damn hard to get right — too runny, too overcooked, too annoying to deal with when they break on the counter, in the water or all over the pan. Yet there are a few connoisseurs who know all the tricks to handling these white oval objects.
To make cracking, flipping, poaching and scrambling a little less scary, we asked chef Nick Korbee of the Egg Shop in New York City to share his best hacks.
Using compound butter allows for an egg cooked with tons of flavor without the need to take the time to make an additional sauce or chop any veggies or herbs. Plus, if your egg-flipping game isn't very strong, basting allows for an over-easy (or an over-anything) experience without getting anything on your face, shoes or the kitchen floor.
Heat a nonstick pan over medium heat and add a tablespoon of butter, letting it sizzle and slowly melt. Next, crack an egg into the pan. The egg white should set immediately as it touches down in the pan, and the egg white that surrounds the yolk should remain uncooked.
Then, add another tablespoon of any kind of premade compound butter (like herb, truffle, etc.) and use a spoon to drizzle the top of the egg with the butter going on and off the heat. If you like your eggs crispy, just keep on truckin' — but be careful not to burn your butter.
This is a technique and equipment hack that saves both space and time. You don't need to heat up a nonstick pan or get a double boiler going to achieve the French soft scramble of your dreams.
Whip two eggs with a little bit of cream (or even half-and-half) before steaming them with the wand of an espresso milk steamer. Be sure to have the steamer tip submerged all the way and work the eggs up and down on the steam wand, stirring with a spatula or wooden spoon every so often. When the eggs resemble a nice, pourable, French-style scramble, your work is done. Finish it with a bit of butter and sea salt.
The goal of a French omelet is to have a nice roll that is fully cooked on the outside (without any heat scarring or brown bits) and nicely creamy on the inside. It's harder than you think — and this hack aims to save you a lot of practice.
Get a nonstick pan medium-hot. Then take it off the heat and count to 20 before adding in two eggs. Now, give them a little swirl so they fill the pan and watch carefully as the eggs begin to set. After about 45 seconds, tilt the pan forward at a 45-degree angle, and use a spatula to begin to roll the omelet onto itself from the back of the pan toward the front. As you roll, increase the angle of the pan, and with one final move, roll the omelet onto the plate. Rub the omelet with a little butter, and finish it with sea salt to get the full effect.
Pre-poaching eggs and holding them in an ice water bath until you want to use them is a lifesaver when you're doing a massive brunch party, as it typically take about two minutes to poach an egg, and most people are not comfortable poaching many eggs at the same time.
Bring a pot of water to a rapid simmer, being sure to add a bit of acid (white vinegar or lemon juice will do) and a pinch of salt. Now, release the eggs as close to the surface of the moving water as you can. You can either use you hands, or crack the eggs into a cup or gadget of your choice. Using a slotted spoon, gently lift the poached eggs to the surface and give a little wiggle to test if the white has set.
When the whites are set and the yolk is still fully liquid, slide the poached egg directly into an ice water bath. You can poach as many eggs as you like this way, and then, when you are ready to serve (up to a day later), simply give the pre-poached eggs a 30 to 45 second bath in simmering water.
This hack sidesteps the need to have any sautéing skills. While being able to roll and flip ingredients in a pan is a must for any French chef or line cook, it's totally unnecessary for a home cook trying to get his or her egg on.
Using a nonstick pan or cast-iron skillet over medium heat, add a little olive oil and crack an egg into the pan. Once the egg white is set on the bottom, put a lid on the pan and lower the heat. In about two minutes, you will have a perfectly over-easy egg.


Eolith, which codeveloped the NeoGeo arcade fighting game official Web site asking for suggestions for the next King of Fighters game, The King of Fighters 2002. Though The King of Fighters 2001 already has a sizeable number of playable characters (40 in all), the developer is apparently considering changing at least three slots on its character roster. The company asks that you send an e-mail to kofmaster@eolith.co.kr with your suggestions on which three SNK characters from The King of Fighters 2001 you'd like to see removed from the next game and which other three characters you'd like to see added.
The King of Fighters 2001 was released last year in arcades, and it was also recently released for the NeoGeo home cartridge system. We'll have a review of The King of Fighters 2001 soon, and we'll have more updates on The King of Fighters 2002 as we receive them.

Travelers using Southwest Airlines at Memphis International Airport will be getting a slight change of scenery soon.
On April 5, Memphis Grizzlies' defensive star and airport spokesperson Tony Allen was at MEM, playing a very one-sided game of 1-on-1 with the Airport Authority's own Will Livsey. It did not go well for Will.
Memphis International Airport said goodbye to one of its most dedicated police team members recently, but her partner is sticking with her.

Benny Goodman je prvi veliki bijeli jazz glazbenik. Svirao je klarinet i imao svoj big band. U vrlo ranoj dobi naučio je svirati klarinet u Hull House bandu te počeo profesionalno raditi već kao dijete. Kada je imao 16 godina pridružio se jednom big bandu Bena Pollacka s kojim je snimio prvu ploču 1926. godine.  Nakon smrti brata Davida, Benny napušta band te odlazi u New York.  1932. godine formira svoj big band u New Yorku. Iste godine je unajmljen za televiziju NBC i program «Let's Dance». S programom postiže veliku slavu te 1938. godine održava slavni koncert u Carnegie Hallu. Njegov orkestar je vrlo važan jer su u njemu po prvi puta zajedno svirali crni i bijeli glazbenici.

Although Beverly Hills got a lot of media recognition in April for passing the first municipal ban on fracking in California, Compton's indefinite moratorium passed around the same time accomplished the same thing.
But Compton has the distinction of being the first to get sued over it.
The Western States Petroleum Association (WSPA) filed a complaint this week in Los Angeles County Superior Court against Compton, claiming that statewide fracking legislation passed last September in Sacramento pre-empted moratoriums and bans by municipalities, according to Courthouse News Service.
Like Beverly Hills, Compton does not have any fracked oil wells. But the suit says the city violated the California Constitution when it banned well stimulation in other municipalities if the well's bottom sat beneath Compton. The suit argues that the state bars cities from passing laws that regulate activities on the surface of other municipalities.
The plaintiff also complained that the city failed to give adequate notice of the ordinance and its effect on mineral rights in violation of state and federal due process guarantees.
Well stimulation reaches otherwise inaccessible oil and gas by blasting high-pressure water―with often-unknown chemicals (sometimes acid) and other materials―into the ground to create fractures in rock.
That is a concise summary of arguments critics of the extraction techniques have made with increasing urgency as new technology has transformed and popularized decades-old drilling methods among oil and gas companies.
State lawmakers have failed to pass a fracking moratorium on more than one occasion, the latest rejection coming in May. Legislators also rejected a moratorium when they approved the state's first fracking regulations last year. Critics said it would take years for Senate Bill 4 to be fully implemented and a moratorium was needed while the dangers of fracking were properly assessed.
The Center for Biological Diversity has attempted to keep track of local anti-fracking efforts scattered around the state. It lists (pdf) 20 cities, counties and communities that have passed resolutions urging the state to stop fracking, but only Compton, Beverly Hills and Santa Cruz County have done more. A handful, including Los Angeles, have voted to draft an ordinance or put the issue on a ballot for voters to decide.

1. Start packing. Lay out all the clothes you will need on your freshly made bed, like some kind of grown-up.
2. Stop packing so you can pour child third bowl of cereal for the morning.
3. Resume packing while child eats bowl of cereal.
4. Stop packing to clean up spilled cereal from carpet.
5. Resume packing. Discover you fit into pre-nursing normal bras. Do a weird dance. Walk around with your shirt up to feel the wind on your skin, as if you just had a cast removed. Adjust outfits accordingly since a moomoo is no longer required to cover up device holding up breasts.
6. Stop packing because child is requesting a nail trim.
7. Resume packing because child no longer wants a nail trim.
8. Stop packing because child has pooped.

'Tom Cruise was an intense kid': How Francis Ford Coppola made The Outsiders

'I was famous for casting unknown actors. I had Nicolas Cage, Robert Downey Jr and Matt Dillon in a circle watching each other try for parts'

Francis Ford Coppola, director
After my 1982 film One from the Heart failed commercially, my production company American Zoetrope was bankrupt – it was a low period for me. But then I received a letter written by Jo Ellen Misakian, a junior school librarian from Fresno, California. It read: "We are all so impressed with the book, The Outsiders by SE Hinton, that a petition has been circulated asking that it be made into a movie. We have chosen you to send it to." It contained about 15 pages of children's signatures written in different-coloured pens. It was very moving.
I read Susan Hinton's book, written when she was in her late teens, and was touched by the level of regard these poor "Greaser" kids had for each other, even though they didn't have the advantages of their "Social" rivals. I've always believed that kids have many more feelings than we give them credit for, and I wanted to make the story. When I was about 17, I had been a drama counsellor at a summer camp, and the idea of being with half a dozen kids in the country and making a movie seemed like being a camp counsellor again. I'd forget my troubles and have some laughs.
People say it's their comfort film, or they have a Stay Gold tattoo, or used the Frost poem for their wedding vows
If my company was famous for anything, it was casting new, unknown actors. I believed in the concept of open casting calls – but I tried to do them in a way that was appropriate for the film we were making. For The Outsiders, I had all the candidates – which included Nicolas Cage, Mickey Rourke, Robert Downey Jr, Patrick Swayze, Dennis Quaid, Matt Dillon, Rob Lowe and Emilio Estevez – sitting on benches in a circle watching each other trying for the different parts. No one knows more about acting than other actors. Tom Cruise, who ended up in a small role, was an intense kid who would do anything to make his part better.
Often I err on the side of being too collaborative. I re-edited The Outsiders because Warner Brothers felt it was long, and that was a mistake. My father had also written a soaring, romantic score for it. I wondered if it was the right choice, but I couldn't say that to him. By the time I recut the movie in 2005 he had passed away, and I balanced the schmaltzy music with more of what the Greasers would have listened to: early Elvis Presley and stuff like that.
There are parallels between the rivalry of the Socs and the Greasers, and the inequality in American today. Most of the bads of contemporary civilisation are not caused by nature. Civilisation invents fictions that people will kill for, which is absurd. Why is there such inequality when we're all one family?

C Thomas Howell, who played Ponyboy Curtis
I had established myself in my teens as a junior rodeo competitor. Pressure for me was riding a bull, not meeting someone called Francis Ford Coppola, or auditioning against the other guys. I only auditioned for one character, Ponyboy Curtis, and read with hundreds of actors in four or five cities. The only time I ever felt any pressure was when Norman Mailer's son came in to read for it weeks after I felt I had already owned the role. But I think actually that was more about relieving me for half a day.
There was an envy that was intentionally dialled in to the Soc and Greaser actors. We played football and basketball against each other – they had matching jumpsuits, while we'd show up in whatever we brought from home. The Socs stayed on floor 18 or 19 of the hotel, while the Greasers were on four or five. It was like a fraternity house in there; some pretty crazy stuff took place. Once I got home at three in the morning after an 18-hour shift; I couldn't wait to get into my room and go to sleep. And I went in there, two of the Socs had turned everything in my room upside down.
We rehearsed and shot the whole film on videotape first, which allowed us to get to know each other and created a trust. I was very green at 15. I had been in ET, but I had never played a lead. Francis was a master communicator, and taught me about film-making. He was patient enough to not just bully his way around and tell you what to do. And he'd cook you pasta for lunch.
One lesson I learned was to never, as an actor, cut a scene. During the scene at the drive-in cinema, at one point Matt Dillon fell off his chair, and I turned to the camera and started laughing, thinking they'd cut. But he told me I shouldn't stop, but that I should adapt to what was happening: it creates something very natural, more real and connected than anything that could be written. Later, in the church scene, a dolly grip's foot fell through the floor – it was a real abandoned building – so I just said: "I think there's a monster outside." And Francis ended up cutting to a shot of a raccoon outside. The film is peppered with real moments like that.
I still get letters about The Outsiders because it's required reading in a lot of schools. People tell me it's their comfort film, or they have a Stay Gold tattoo, or they used the Robert Frost poem for their wedding vows. I get asked all the time what the poem means. I had no idea when I was 15 that it represents the circle of life. Even the two boys don't understand what it means – they're just sharing a moment – until one of them dies. The fans are crying and upset that [Ralph Macchio's character] Johnny is dead, and then they contact me and they realise Ponyboy is now 54 – and they cry even harder.
The Outsiders: The Complete Novel is available on Blu-ray, DVD and digital platforms from 8 November

Grand Marnier Brownie Bites dressed for Halloween! Change the sprinkle color and you have an excellent Christmas, Hanukkah, or New Years treat.
Every neighborhood needs that special person who brings those of us who are a little more reserved out of our doldrum ways to celebrate Halloween in a big way. For us, that special person is Claudine. The first time she sent out invites for a costume party many of us were not so thrilled to dress up. A few of us may even have looked at it as a bit of an inconvenience. However, over the years us party goers have come to not only embraced this annual event, but to begin planning for it months in advance.
Last nights event was no different. Arriving at her house I entered a new world... cobwebs and spooky photos (think Harry Potter) decorated the walls, black netting hung from the ceiling, the movie Poltergeist flashed on a high wall, and a brew of Black Vodka bubbled away in a decanter next to a plate of white chocolate covered eyeballs. In attendance were Lady Gaga, Paris Hilton in prison garb, vampires Bella and Edward, Dorthy and the Cowardly Lion, a Chilean Miner and his mistress (the wife of the couple was the miner, the husband made a "lovely" mistress!), a magician and his assistant, assorted Top Gun crew and a pair of really tacky Hawaiian tourists.
Hours of work had gone into the decorations and food prep for this elaborate event with our contribution adding a fairly large number of calories to the table. White Chocolate Covered Peanut Butter Butterfinger Eyeballs (courtesy of a last minute suggestion from Joe at Culinary in the Desert), vanilla and almond flavored Bony Finger Cookies and a decadent plate of Grand Marnier Brownie Bites (I've blogged about them before, but they are worthy of another mention!) added to the spooky flair.
A simple butter cookie dough flavored with almond and vanilla flavors provided the base for our Bony Witch's Fingers. Rolled into finger shapes with little cuts along the knuckles for a realistic look and finished with a whole almond attached with a dab of melted chocolate, the fingers were laid over a bed of candy corn and drew quite a few comments from the party goers. Even my 14 year old son gave an appropriate "EEwww! Those really look awful!" comment as he helped fill the plates.
Our third and most decadent contribution is an old favorite, Halloween decorated Grand Marnier Brownie Bites. I've written about these once before, but they are worthy of another mention. Deep, rich, orange scented brownies are topped with a luscious layer of Grand Marnier enhanced ganache and would be an excellent addition to your Christmas or New Years festivities. Cut into small bites they make a lovely addition to any table and will most certainly draw that oft hoped for look of extreme pleasure and more groans of satisfaction as your guests enjoy them. Truly a treat for a special occasion.
Once again, a special thanks is extended to our Party Mama, Claudine - oops... I mean Lady Gaga! Thanks for getting us all out of our comfort zone and into the party mode with another amazing evening. I'm already planning for next year!
In a large mixing bowl, combine peanut butter and butter until thoroughly combined. Add confectioners' sugar and mix until combined - it will be a bit dry at first, but it will come together. Stir in chopped Butterfingers. Shape the dough into 1" round balls and place on parchment lined baking sheets. Place in the freezer to chill for at least 1 hour. Better yet, place the peanut butter balls on two plate and only remove one at a time to dip.
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Lightly grease baking sheets or line with silicone liner.
Remove dough from refrigerator in small amounts. Using a generous 1 teaspoon of dough roll between your fingers and shape into a thin finger-shaped cookie. Press one almond into one end of each cookie to give the appearance of a long fingernail. Squeeze cookie near the tip and again near the center of each to give the impression of knuckles. You can also cut into the dough with a sharp knife at the same points to help give a more finger-like appearance. Arrange the shaped cookies on the baking sheets.
Bake in the preheated oven until the cookies are slightly golden in color, about 20 minutes.
When cooled, remove the almond from the end of each cookie; dab a small amount of melted chocolate into the cavity; replace the almond causing the chocolate to ooze out around the tip of the cookie.
Preheat oven to 325°F. Line 8x8-inch metal baking pan with foil. Melt unsweetened chocolate and unsalted butter in heavy medium saucepan over low heat, stirring until smooth; cool slightly. Whisk sugar, grated orange peel, vanilla extract and salt in a large bowl. Add slightly cooled chocolate to the sugar mixture. Whisk in eggs 1 at a time, then continue whisking until mixture is smooth and velvety. Add flour and whisk just to blend. Transfer batter to prepared metal baking pan.
Bake brownies until top is just springy to touch and toothpick inserted into center comes out with moist crumbs attached, about 35 minutes. Cool in pan on rack 10 minutes. If necessary, press down on raised brownie edges to level top. Using the foil, lift the brownies out of the pan to a wire rack. Cool completely.
Bring cream and orange peel to simmer in heavy small saucepan. Remove from heat. Add chocolate and whisk until smooth. Whisk in 1/4 tsp vanilla and Grand Marnier. Refrigerate until thick enough to spread, stirring occasionally, about 45 minutes.
Spread topping over brownies. Refrigerate until topping is cold, about 1 hour. Using a hot knife, carefully cut the brownies into squares. Let brownies stand at room temperature 30 minutes before serving.
Whew.... these tourists were tacky!!!
Yeah...those Butterfinger Balls are on my holiday baking list for sure ;)! Leave the insides and change the decor on the outside and should be good to go! Cute costumes too...no party for us this year. We went to BIL's house and watched The Exorcist...SCARY!
We went to an annual neighborhood party, and the Grim reaper, Beetlejuice, Chilean miner and mistress, (that would be my husband and I) Dr and Nurse, and a go go dancer with white go go boots, were some of the people at out neighborhood party. I made a graveyard cake, pumpkin dip, and Crazy snack mix. Your treats look spooky, but I'm saving the Grand Marnier Brownie bites for Christmas!
What a fun party. I was home glued to the baseball game!
Wendy, those balls were amazing!!! Without the glitzy gel they would look really pretty.
Becky, those bites have been a favorite for years! I always cut the edges off to make them perfectly square and I end up eating them!
Sara, LOL on the chocolate! Yep... Grand Marnier always helps!
Judy... Woo Hoo!!! They did it!!!!
Thanks Sarah! We had a really good time.
Those brownies were worth another mention, there are still on my to make list!
Love those eyeballs, never seen them before!
Looks like so much fun, wish I had neighbors like that!
Wow! Awesome costumes and awesome treats! Love it!
Ok you're not helping. I get done exercising and I see tantalizing treats! You know I have a sweet tooth...your costumes are priceless. How funny! It sounds like everyone was so creative.
The sweets look so spooky especially the fingers. You must have had a really good time there.
all of them look amazing!
They all look awesome, Kim, but I'd be sitting by the tray of grand marnier brownies, not letting anyone else near them so I could gobble them all up!
Your brownies look wonderful and it sounds like you had a fabulous time.
Those are the fudgiest looking brownies...perfection in a pan.
Looks like you also had your share of Halloween fun. Love your costume...but mostly love all the Halloween treats. The brownies are to "die for" so gorgeous and yummy. Very creative stuff.
Kim-I will be putting you on my "lovely blog award list" to nominate you too. I have 30, since I got 2 awards, and only responding now to the first one as well.
It was a little complicated for me to remind myself, since you are not on my blog list...and you are not following my blog!
I am seriously drooling over these brownies. This is a serious chocolate overload--love it!
Holy kitten caboodle, Kim! What amazingness you created! These all look wonderfully fantastic and I'm definitely going to be trying some of them out! The eyeballs and fingernails are outrageous! I've never really thought about doing something like that... perhaps because I don't think about fun stuff due to school, haha. Thank you for keeping me young with your awesome posts and sharing! And the Grand Marnier Brownie Bites? Totally doing that for the upcoming holidays :-) Always looking for great reasons to invest in another bottle of liqueur! Oh, and major happy birthday to your pops; I'm glad y'all had a lovely time together!
Wowowow, this all looks so spooookily delicious! We went to a party Saturday, but there wasn't a single thing I'd want to show a picture of... lame!
And I do so love Grand Marnier, so the brownies look extremely delish. Thanks!
Brownies with grand marnier, now we're talking!
No party for us this Halloween! Kind of a bummer, but your costumes look so cute and these treats look to die for!
Your brownie bites look fantastic and sooooo yummy...!!
Congrats Kim on Top 9 today! Way to go.
Congrats on the top 9...such a beautiful photo!!!
never really like halloween as a kid, but now that I have kids i really kinda dig it! Love making the special treats for them....have to bookmark your page for next year....beautiful photos too...mine are work in progress!
Those all look so good, I'm going to try them!
Congrats on the Top 9! The brownies look amazing and it looks like you guys had a fabulous time.
Wow, I wish I did attend to that party! Looks like a lot of fun – and not to mention – so many tasty things to eat. Yummy.
Your brownies look great. Thanks for sharing.
Kim - so cool!! Sounds like a fun party and the treats were amazing. Your brownies look like they are to die for! Congrats on being #1 in the Top 9!!
I need those brownie bites in my life ASAP. End of story! They look sooo gooooood!
Oh my, those brownies are to die for! Sooo sinful...all mine! The fingers really look good and creepy. What fun!
Yummmmm! Fabulous job!!! Grand Marnier Brownies??? Brilliant!!
Really awesome Halloween treats! I think my fave are the Brownies.
Your brownies look terrific. And chocolate and Grand Marnier are wonderful together. I thought you might be interested in seeing the really tempting gluten-free brownies I just posted--most people can't really tell they are gluten-free, so they are good for serving to anybody, not just people who have gluten allergies.
wished I had see this first, I made the eyeballs with powdered donuts yours look so much better thanks for the idea next year!
OMG this looks amazing!!!!! Glad you had a great Halloween!! So I am STARVING now. I can eat all of that for breakfast. Your friends are so lucky to know you.
Kim, all of these look fantastic. But Butterfingers...YES, please! I'm glad you surfaced this post again or I'd have missed out. Thanks and Happy Haunting!

Q: How to print return values from a boolean? I am trying to print the value return value from a boolean, to check that the if statements are working correctly. I get no errors but nothing shows in the console. Any advice is appreciated.
Also if it makes a difference the code is not part of the main class. If it does, is there a way of printing the return value of the boolean from the main?
Here is what I have tried.
public boolean inCollision(double x, double y, furniture f) {
    if (x + radius <= f.getXpos(0) || x + radius > f.getXpos(2)) {
        System.out.println("False");
        return false;
    }
    if (y + radius < f.getYpos(0) || y + radius > f.getYpos(2)) {
        System.out.println("False");
        return false;
    }
    System.out.println("True");
    return true;
}

This is where furniture comes from

public class furniture {

 private String name;
 private double xpos;
 private double ypos;
 private double width;
 private double height;

  public furniture (String n, double x, double y, double w, double h)
  {
  name = n;
  xpos = x;
  ypos = y;
  width = w;
  height = h;

  }

  public double getXpos(int c){
   if (c==0 || c==1){return xpos;}
   else {return xpos+width;}

  }

  public double getYpos(int c){
   if (c == 0 || c == 1){return ypos;}
   else {return ypos+width;}

  }

  public String toString() {
    return "the "+ name+ " has a height of "+height+" and a width of "+width+". Its coordinates are ("+xpos+","+ypos+")," ;

  }

  }

Below is the whole page of code for the first part.

public class roomba {

 private double xpos;
 private double ypos;
 private double radius;

 public roomba(double x, double y, double r){

  xpos = x;
  ypos = y;
  radius = r;
 }

 public String toString() {
    return "the coordinates of the roomba are ("+xpos+","+ypos+").It has a radius of "+radius ;

  }

 public boolean inCollision(double x, double y, furniture f){
  if (x+radius <=f.getXpos(0) || x+radius >f.getXpos(2)){
   System.out.println("False");
   return false;
  }
  if (y+radius < f.getYpos(0) || y+radius > f.getYpos(2))
  {
   System.out.println("False");
   return false;}

  System.out.println("True");
  return true;

 }

A: In your main class you have to create two objects : roomba and furniture
roomba r = new roomba(1f,1f,1f);
furniture furn = new furniture("chair",2f,2f,2f,2f);

boolean retValBool = r.inCollision(1.5f,1.5f,furn); //
System.out.println(" inCollision method returns : " + retValBool);

In java you can handle for printing all primitive data types the same way. That means you can print integers, doubles , booleans etc with the same way :)

Q: How can I correctly use the if(and()) function so that I can then drag it down alongside a column of numbers? (Google Sheets) I use Google Sheets and I have tried to get this formula right for a while now but it always gives me "Undefined" for every cell I drag down to along a column of data.
If you're curious, this is for stocks' Relative Strength Index (RSI) – buying & selling rates.
Some number examples (down a column, starting with A1) are as follows:

*

*15

*26

*44

*67

*81

*60

How can I readjust this so that the following formula works? It goes down column B alongside column A (where the data is)!
=IF(AND(0<=$A1,$A1<20),"Risky",

IF(AND(20<=$A1,$A1<40),"Oversold",

IF(AND(40<=$A1,$A1<60),"Neutral",

IF(AND(60<=$A1,$A1<80),"Overbought",

IF(AND(80<=$A1,$A1<=100),"Too Risky","Undefined")))))

A: Try below formula-
=IFS(AND(A1>=0,A1<20),"Risky",AND(A1>=20,A1<40),"Oversold",AND(A1>=40,A1<60),"Neutral",AND(A1>=60,A1<80),"Overbought",AND(A1>=80,A1<=100),"Too Risky",A1>100,"Undefined")

A: delete everything in your column and use in row 1:
=INDEX(IFNA(VLOOKUP(A1:A,
 {0, "Risky";
  20, "Oversold";
  40, "Neutral";
  60, "Overbought";
  80, "Too Risky";
  101, "Undefined"}, 2, 1)))

update:
=INDEX(IF(A2:A="",,IFNA(VLOOKUP(B2:B*1,
 {0, "Risky";
  20, "Oversold";
  40, "Neutral";
  60, "Overbought";
  80, "Too Risky";
  101, "Undefined"}, 2, 1))))

Visualizing the nearly 6,000 diplomatic ties between 42 countries and 660 cities.
In a society driven by globalization, the world has become increasingly interconnected. Ties among nations and cities have strengthened as leaders band together to come up with solutions to some of the world's most pressing issues, like terrorism, the Zika outbreak, and climate change. Diplomacy itself now comes in many forms—there's koala diplomacy, soccer diplomacy, and the emerging field of gastrodiplomacy, to name just a few—that fall outside traditional embassies and ambassadors.
To show just how connected the world is, researchers at the Lowy Institute for International Policy in Australia have created an incredibly detailed interactive that painstakingly maps nearly 6,000 diplomatic ties across 42 countries—members of the Group of 20 (G20) and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD)—and 660 cities. The first-ever Global Diplomacy Index highlights each country's global reach by plotting the cities in which it has has embassies, consulates, multilateral missions and "other" representations. Each country is also ranked by the size of its diplomatic network, and not surprisingly, the U.S.—with posts in 270 cities—is No. 1. France, with 267 posts, and China, with 257, follow closely behind. Russia and the U.K. rank fourth and fifth, respectively.
While the top five countries have some of the highest GDPs and are among the most populated nations, the index also reveals that smaller, mostly European, countries have also invested greatly in expanding their diplomatic network. The researchers note, for example, that despite having smaller economies and populations, Switzerland, the Netherlands, and Greece all have more diplomatic posts than Australia.
Six thousand diplomatic ties across 42 countries may seem like a lot, but the researchers also point out that more than half of the developed nations in the OECD have reduced their "diplomatic footprints" over the past decade. For Alex Oliver, the Lowy Institute's polling director and the project's lead researcher, it's a sign that embassies and formal ambassadors may be irrelevant—an opinion that's been echoed by experts in the past.
For many countries, reductions in formal diplomatic posts are a result of budget constraints. But that may prove to be a blessing in disguise, Oliver writes in a recent piece in Foreign Affairs magazine. In the U.K., for example, the Foreign and Commonwealth Office had $143 million cut from its annual budget and laid off 10 percent of its staff. "But the agency's leaner profile has required it to prioritize and shift resources from its largest European posts, as well as dwindling priorities in Afghanistan and Iraq, to address new crises in Ukraine and West Africa," she writes.
The digitally connected world allows governments to communicate directly with their counterparts, and some world leaders, including Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, have become prodigious users of Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram, speaking to huge domestic and foreign audiences without even telling their embassies.
Still, Oliver argues that, in order for embassies to hold the kind of influence they once did, they will need to adapt. They need to embrace social media and emerging technology to ease security concerns. They need to play a larger role in helping governments better understand their home nations by providing expert analysis to trending news. And even now, the old-school human touch has its benefits: They need to interact more with locals on the ground.

Couple of months ago I setup second workplace on my home PC using Multiseat technology. Everything worked fine, except I didn't have sound on 2nd workplace as I need 2nd sound card. I tried to use sound-card Creative Labs SB Live! - but it doesn't work, no drivers under Linux.
To have a sound I was looking for sound card what I can use with Linux without problem.
Connected – it appeared in the list of audio device, setup this card as device for output sound and that's it! Works fine.
Nice inexpensive external USB audio card works in Ubuntu Linux.
In Ubuntu this device was dedected(lsusb) as: C-Media Electronics, Inc.

Congenital Kyphoscoliosis in Monozygotic Twins: Ten-Year Follow-up Treated by Posterior Vertebral Column Resection (PVCR)
Dong Gune Chang, Jae Hyuk Yang, Jung Hee Lee, Young Hoon Kim, Jin Hyok Kim, Seung-Woo Suh, Kee Yong Ha, Se Il Suk
Department of Biomedical Sciences
The etiology of congenital scoliosis and its development remains unclear and has not yet been fully identified, even there are theories that congenital scoliosis could be derived from the failure of formation or failure of segmentation, which are etiologically heterogeneous with genetic, epigenetic, and environmental factors contributing to their occurrence. We reported a case of long-term follow-up after posterior vertebral column resection (PVCR) in both identical twins with similar congenital kyphoscoliosis at thoracolumbar levels. Twin I had been noticed by his parents to have asymmetry of his back at age 5 years, but no treatment was given. Twin II was first noticed to have a spinal problem at 11 years of age by his parents. Overtime, spine of both twins became further deviated to the left with kyphosis and was referred to our hospital. Both monozygotic twins were treated by PVCR and satisfactory results were demonstrated at 10-year follow-up. This case is the first report on the surgical treatment with PVCR, almost simultaneously, in both identical twins who had similar congenital vertebral anomalies causing kyphoscoliosis. Both identical twins with congenital kyphoscoliosis had undergone surgical correction by PVCR, anterior support with a mesh cage and posterior fusion using pedicle screws at the age of 14 years and achieved a satisfactory correction and a stable spine without curve progression with 10-year follow-up.

We reported a case of long-term follow-up after posterior vertebral column resection (PVCR) in both identical twins with similar congenital kyphoscoliosis at thoracolumbar levels. Twin I had been noticed by his parents to have asymmetry of his back at age 5 years, but no treatment was given. Twin II was first noticed to have a spinal problem at 11 years of age by his parents. Overtime, spine of both twins became further deviated to the left with kyphosis and was referred to our hospital. Both monozygotic twins were treated by PVCR and satisfactory results were demonstrated at 10-year follow-up. This case is the first report on the surgical treatment with PVCR, almost simultaneously, in both identical twins who had similar congenital vertebral anomalies causing kyphoscoliosis. Both identical twins with congenital kyphoscoliosis had undergone surgical correction by PVCR, anterior support with a mesh cage and posterior fusion using pedicle screws at the age of 14 years and achieved a satisfactory correction and a stable spine without curve progression with 10-year follow-up.",
