In an ACCUPLACER® placement test, there are 20 Sentence Skills questions of two types. The first type consists of sentence-correction questions that require an understanding of sentence structure. These questions ask you to choose the most appropriate word or phrase for the underlined portion of the sentence. The second type consists of construction-shift questions. These questions ask that a sentence be rewritten according to the criteria shown while maintaining essentially the same meaning as the original sentence. Within these two primary categories, the questions are also classified according to the skills being tested. Some questions deal with the logic of the sentence, others with whether or not the answer is a complete sentence, and still others with the relationship between coordination and subordination.

The first type of question consists of a reading passage followed by a question based on the text. Both short and long passages are provided. The reading passages can also be classified according to the kind of information processing required, including explicit statements related to the main idea, explicit statements related to a secondary idea, application, and inference. The second type of question, sentence relationships, presents two sentences followed by a question about the relationship between these two sentences. The question may ask, for example, if the statement in the second sentence supports that in the first, if it contradicts it, or if it repeats the same information. Reading Comprehension Sample Questions Directions for questions 1 9 Read the statement or passage and then choose the best answer to the question. Answer the question based on what is stated or implied in the statement or passage. 1. In the words of Thomas De Quincey, "It is notorious that the memory strengthens as you lay burdens upon it." If, like most people, you have trouble recalling the names of those you have just met, try this: The next time you are introduced, plan to remember the names. Say to yourself, "I'll listen carefully; I'll repeat each person's name to be sure I've got it, and I will remember." You'll discover how effective this technique is and probably recall those names for the rest of your life. The quotation from De Quincey indicates that the memory A. always operates at peak efficiency B. breaks down under great strain C. improves if it is used often D. becomes unreliable if it tires © 2016 The College Board. ACCUPLACER SAMPLE QUESTIONS 4 2. Unemployment was the overriding fact of life when Franklin D. Roosevelt became president of the United States on March 4, 1933. At the time, the government did not systematically collect statistics of joblessness; actually it did not start doing so until 1940. The Bureau of Labor Statistics later estimated that 12,830,000 persons were out of work in 1933, about one-fourth of a civilian labor force of more than 51 million. Roosevelt signed the Federal Emergency Relief Act on May 12, 1933. The president selected Harry L. Hopkins, who headed the New York relief program, to run FERA. A gifted administrator, Hopkins quickly put the program into high gear. He gathered a small staff in Washington and brought the state relief organizations into the FERA system. While the agency tried to provide all the necessities, food came first. City dwellers usually got an allowance for fuel, and rent for one month was provided in case of eviction. This passage is primarily about A. methods of estimating unemployment rates in the 1930s B. the effect of unemployment on United States families C. President Franklin D. Roosevelt's presidency D. the creation of President Roosevelt's FERA program 3. With varying success, many women around the world today struggle for equal rights. Historically, women have achieved greater equality with men during periods of social adversity. The following factors initiated the greatest number of improvements for women: violent revolution, world war, and the rigors of pioneering in an undeveloped land. In all three cases, the essential element that improved the status of women was a shortage of men, which required women to perform many of society's vital tasks. We can conclude from the information in this passage that A. women today are highly successful in winning equal rights B. only pioneer women have been considered equal to men C. historically, women have only achieved equality through force D. historically, the principle of equality alone has not been enough to secure women equal rights 4. All water molecules form six-sided structures as they freeze and become snow crystals. The shape of a snow crystal is determined by temperature, vapor, and wind conditions in the upper atmosphere. A snow crystal is always symmetrical because these conditions affect all six of its sides simultaneously. The purpose of the passage is to present A. a personal observation B. a solution to a problem C. factual information D. opposing scientific theories 5. In the words of Thomas De Quincey, "It is notorious that the memory strengthens as you lay burdens upon it." If, like most people, you have trouble recalling the names of those you have just met, try this: The next time you are introduced, plan to remember the names. Say to yourself, "I'll listen carefully; I'll repeat each person's name to be sure I have it, and I will remember." You'll discover how effective this technique is and probably recall those names for the rest of your life. The passage suggests that people remember names best when they A. meet new people B. are intelligent C. decide to do so D. are interested in people 6. Many people have owned, or have heard of, traditional "piggy banks," coin banks shaped like pigs. A logical theory about how this tradition started might be that because pigs often symbolize greed, the object is to "fatten" one's piggy bank with as much money as possible. However, while this idea makes sense, it is not the correct origin of the term. The genesis of the piggy bank is the old English word "pygg," which was a common kind of clay hundreds of years ago in England. People used pots and jars made out of this red "pygg" clay for many different purposes in their homes. Sometimes they kept their money in one of the pots, and this was known as a pygg bank.

So far, I came up with this: (\d+\.)\s[a-zA-Z ,."':;\-?]+(?:(?!\d+\.\s)) though it seems to discontinue capturing after numbers without a period at the end for some reason.
Any ideas?

A: There's no real way to do that since there's no difference between a question index and a sentence that ends with a number and a dot (ex: I'm 12.)
All you can do is eventually to check if each index follows the previous in the match results.
You can use this pattern that already avoids numbers with more than 3 digits:
\b(\d{1,3})\.\s\D*(?:(?!\b\d{1,3}\.\s)\d+\D*)*

There are better answers than jail for women who have offended
Chris Tchaikovsky – queen of charisma, 6ft tall, witty, clever, the only one of six middle-class sisters to serve time in prison – was, for a period, head of the Happy Firm, a team dealing in stolen travellers' cheques. Then she went straight, co-founding the charity Women in Prison. She died, aged 57, in 2002, but on Wednesday, her spirit will be at Westminster as women come to lobby their MPs to invest in a different kind of justice – one that works.
A year ago this week, the government published its female offender strategy. It contained much of what Tchaikovsky campaigned for over decades. The strategy says that if justice is to be delivered and reoffending reduced, prison for women, the majority of whom (85%) commit non-violent offences, should be replaced. In its stead should come sentences in the community and intensive support to address the issues common to chaotic lives – addiction, trauma, debt, homelessness. By and large, it's not posh people who do porridge.
Last week, the Farmer review into maintaining ties between prisoners and families also commended women's centres and specialist services in the voluntary sector that deliver the kind of support that turns around lives. They do so by investing in the assets that women have, rebuilding trust in relationships and addressing trauma, substance misuse and the scars inflicted by poverty at a fraction of the cost of prison.
Farmer also warned that women's centres, battered by Chris Grayling's disastrously costly "reforms", are in a financially precarious state. Hence the lobby on Wednesday and the launch of a 10-point manifesto, #OPENUP Women's Futures. Demands include that the £80m accrued from the sale of HMP Holloway should be invested in women's centres and support services and that there should be a legal presumption against the imposition of short sentences.
Susan had been in care and sexually abused as a child. Her husband was twice her age and violent
The government is to be commended. Its commitment to radical penal reform is on record. But without adequate resources, this ineffectual, hugely expensive and damaging system will continue to fall apart, as Tchaikovsky warned decades ago.
I first met her in the 1980s, not long after she and criminologist Pat Carlen set up Women in Prison (WIP), of which I am now chair. One of the first miscarriages of justice we worked on was that of Susan, a young woman who was in the dock because she had neglected her two children. The baby had died, the two-year-old was close to death. They and Susan were found in appallingly squalid conditions. Susan was given a much longer sentence than her husband because the judge said she ought to have had maternal feelings.
Susan had been in care and sexually abused as a child. As a teenager, she met her husband who was twice her age and violent. He went to work each day while Susan, on a cocktail of antidepressants and with a history of mental illness, struggled with her fear of him and acute postnatal depression.
After her arrest, she was so seriously disturbed that she was sectioned for several months before coming to trial. Few of the factors that had led to the devastating neglect of her children were taken into account. She was branded a monster by the media and found guilty of murder, not manslaughter. Tchaikovsky successfully fought to have Susan's sentence reduced on appeal. In the years since then, I've learned that Susan's experiences of abuse, trauma, domestic violence and mental ill-health are common for so many of the 8,000 women a year in England and Wales who are sent to prison (around 9% of the total prison population) mainly for offences such as shoplifting, theft and non-payment of fines.
Three-quarters of women sent to prison in England and Wales serve sentences of under 12 months, 25% under a month; more than 70% serving short sentences will reoffend within a year. The pattern is similar in Scotland. A few weeks in jail is long enough to lose your children into care and your home. Baroness Jean Corston, in her groundbreaking report into women with vulnerabilities in prison, published 12 years ago after rising deaths in prison – which continue to rise now – detailed how prison affects women differently. In a speech last year, she said that a woman rarely escapes from prison. If she did, she would be easily found: "She would try to be with her children."
"Taking the most hurt people out of society and punishing them in order to teach them how to live within society is futile," said the late Tchaikovsky. "Whatever else a prisoner knows, she knows everything there is to know about punishment because that is exactly what she has grown up with. Whether it's childhood sexual abuse, indifference or neglect – punishment is most familiar to her."
On Wednesday, MPs will be told by women from women's centres and voluntary organisations that it's time to invest in a system that can deliver justice, that breaks the cycle and gives women and their children the chance of a life after punishment. "If government invests now, it could set an international example in how to reduce the human and financial cost of imprisonment and create healthier and safer communities," says Kate Paradine, WIP's CEO. "This is in our power."

text: Q: Yammer External Network Confusion I am working on an Android app that uses an external network with members from many networks. However I have noticed an issue with Authenticating Users from other networks. The login flow of send user to login page, get credentials, call tokens.json, set token to external network, make api calls usually works. However with my credentials, this only works if I am currently looking at the external network on the yammer website. If I am looking at my internal network (the same network whose credentials I am using to log in) I get the initial token fine, but when I attempt to get the token for the external network i get this error: Authentication error: Unable to respond to any of these challenges: {bearer=WWW-Authenticate: Bearer realm="www.yammer.com"}. Does anyone know how to resolve this issue, getting the tokens shouldn't be dependent on what network you are pointing to on the website, should it?

Kim Potter Trial, Dec. 10 Live Updates: Potter's Supervisor Testifies She Was Justified In Using Deadly Force – CBS Minnesota
1 month ago immitate
MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO)– The snow started coming down shortly after noon in downtown Minneapolis. Because of the weather, the judge presiding over the Kim Potter trial ended testimony early Friday.
Potter is charged with first- and second-degree manslaughter in the death of Daunte Wright during a traffic stop in April.

Body-worn camera video from the supervising sergeant on the scene of the traffic stop showed the moments before and after the shooting. It was footage the public had never seen or heard before.
Sgt. Mychal Johnson said Potter used deadly force to save his life.
"Dante you are under arrest," Johnson said, in the video.
The words spoken by Johnson set into motion an attempt to flee by Wright.
Body worn camera footage shows different angles of the incident where Johnson, inside the passenger side of the car, leans over the female passenger to reach the shift knob making sure it was in park.
When Wright got back in the car, video shows his struggle with Potter and officer Anthony Luckey.
Johnson grabs Wright's hand in an attempt to get him ready for handcuffs. That's when he heard the command given by Potter.
"I'm going to Taser you, I'm going to Taser you…Taser! Taser! Taser!" Potter said.
"I let go of his right arm…I didn't know where those Taser probes were going, and I didn't want my hand in between them," Johnson said.
Johnson says he did not know Potter shot Wright until she admitted she did.
It was Potter's reaction after she fired her weapon and not her Taser that took center stage in the video.
"Oh my God, what have I done," Potter says.
Johnson can be seen and heard trying to calm Potter down.
She was distraught. At one point, you can hear her say, "Let me kill myself."
Johnson took Potter's weapon, put it in his holster and gave her his weapon to put in her holster.
Concern from a fellow officer about her state of mind sent Johnson back to Potter to take the bullets out of the weapon he had given her.
"Kim, can you see I'm giving you my gun real quick, I'm going to give it right back to you," Johnson said.
Johnson said he did not remember what he said to comfort Potter but it was captured on body camera.
"Kim, that guy was trying to take off with me in the car," Johnson said.
Prosecutor Matthew Frank countered by raising the need for officers to be aware of their surroundings before firing a weapon, pointing out how close Johnson, Potter and the vehicles' occupants were to one another.
The trial resumes Monday at 9 a.m.
(WCCO/AP) — Testimony enters its third day in the trial of former Brooklyn Center police officer Kim Potter, who is charged with first- and second-degree manslaughter in the shooting death of Daunte Wright.
After a day of new body camera footage from the day of the incident and compelling testimony from Wright's passenger in the vehicle, the state is calling more witnesses to the stand.
Below are updates, beginning with the latest.
UPDATE (2:37 p.m.) – Afternoon testimony started with Brooklyn Center Police Acting Chief Tony Gruenig, who was questioned mostly on procedural practices and standard routines for officer-involved shootings.
The next witness called to the stand was Agent Mike Phill with the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension.
Credit: CBS
Phill is in charge of the use-of-force unit with the BCA and was the first agent on scene of the shooting. During his questioning, the defense objects multiple times, citing "heresay." Chu tells Phill not to describe information he heard from someone else.
Phill explains that he was on the scene until after 7 p.m., and agents took Wright's car back to BCA headquarters in St. Paul. He describes the evidence that the BCA collected, which included firearm forensic evidence and evidence from the autopsy.
Defense does not cross-examine Phill, and court adjourns for the day due to an oncoming snow storm. The trial will start back up on Monday at 9 a.m.
UPDATE (12:25 p.m.) — Defense begins cross-examination of Officer Mychal Johnson. Attorney Earl Gray asks Johnson about Wright's arrest.
"He kept resisting, right?" Gray asks, and Johnson agrees. He asks what an officer should do when someone is resisting. Johnson says an officer is supposed to "put them under arrest" and if they try to get away, "use force."

Gray asks whether Wright gave up during the arrest at any point, and Johnson says no, he didn't. In effect, Johnson has testified that Potter was justified in using deadly force in that moment.
Frank, in attempting to re-direct Johnson, asks "Could Officer Potter, in using a firearm, have shot you?" Johnson says it's "possible." The defense team objects at this point and Chu sustains. Prosecution asks for a sidebar.
"I don't know what she was thinking at the time," Johnson says about the moment Potter grabbed the Glock instead of the Taser.
Attorneys Frank and Gray go back and forth multiple times, questioning Johnson further. Gray asks about hollow-point bullets, and if police use them because they will only travel so far. Johnson agrees. Gray asks if a car an be a weapon. "Yes," Johnson says.
With his second redirection, Frank asks if hollow-point bullets are also able to affect the damage done inside the person struck by them. Johnson agrees, and again Gray objects.
Gray's final cross-examination involves him asking if Wright's vehicle was moving when Potter shot him. Johnson says it wasn't.
With the jury out of the courtroom to take their lunch break, Chu asks if the prosecution team is aware of the defense's objections to the autopsy photos intended to be entered into evidence. The issue may be resolved during lunch break. Court is scheduled to resume at 1:30 p.m., unless Chu decides the weather is enough of a factor to call an early end to Friday's proceedings.
UPDATE (11:25 a.m.) — Prosecution opens the day with the testimony of Major Mychal Johnson, who was a patrol supervisor on the day of the shooting. He left the Brooklyn Center Police Department in October of 2021, and currently works for the Goodhue County Sheriff's Office.
Johnson was Potter's supervisor on April 11, and said he arrived on scene after Officer Luckey and Potter pulled over Daunte Wright's car. After a conversation with Luckey, he learned Wright had a gross misdemeanor warrant for a weapons possession and determined that Luckey would arrest Wright.
Throughout the testimony, Attorney Matthew Frank shows Johnson's body camera and squad car footage, starting with the moment Johnson arrives on scene.
Johnson explained he approached Wright's car with the two other officers. He was on the passenger side and opened the door to make sure the car was in a "park" position.
He said Luckey told Wright to get out of the car, which he did, but Wright eventually got back into the car after learning he was under arrest. Johnson reached over and grabbed Wright's arm, heard the verbal command of "Taser Taser Taser," and then said he "heard a loud pop," which he believed at the time was the pop of the Taser.
He learned that Potter fired her gun after Wright drove away and Potter said she had shot him. Then, realizing he would be an "involved officer" in the shooting, called for backup and another supervisor to take over the scene.
In the body camera video, Potter asks Johnson to "call Chuck," who, according to Johnson, is Potter's union representative. The defense objects to discussion about Potter's union membership, arguing that it is irrelevant. After a brief sidebar, Judge Chu rules that Potter's union status is not relevant, and tells the jury to disregard any testimony about it.
Frank then continues to play Johnson's body camera video, during which Potter can be heard saying "let me kill myself."
Johnson said he told another officer to stay with Potter, and explains that he took the ammunition out of his gun and swapped it with Potter's. The gun Potter used was in Johnson's holster until it was taken into evidence by the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension.
Chu then decides to take a mid-morning break. After the jury leaves the room, she tells the prosecution that she will start regularly sustaining objections from the defense to video evidence that is cumulative.
UPDATE (8:15 a.m.) — The pool reporter in court Friday has confirmed that the prosecution will introduce into evidence autopsy photos of Daunte Wright, and they will be shown in court as lawyers question the medical examiner.
The photos will be shown in the courtroom but will not be transmitted or published beyond there.
UPDATE (6 a.m.) — The first week of testimony in the Kim Potter trial will wrap up Friday after jurors saw lots of bodycam footage of what happened after the shooting.
After the jury walked out, the defense asked the judge for a mistrial. They say most of the evidence presented had nothing to do with the case against former Brooklyn Center Police Officer Kim Potter.
Prosecutor Matthew Frank pointed out that the state is seeking an aggravated sentence for Potter if she's convicted, and to do so must show the wider impact of her actions. Judge Regina Chu quickly dismissed the motion, though she did tell prosecutors to avoid showing the jury duplicate autopsy pictures.
Frank, the prosecutor, said the post-shooting evidence is aimed at showing that Potter's actions created a danger to others beyond Wright — something the state will have to prove as it seeks a longer sentence for Potter than is called for under the state's guidelines.
Chu ruled that the state must eliminate duplicate autopsy photos, and that any images of Wright with his eyes open must be blacked out above the nose.
"The jury is not supposed to be deciding this case based upon sympathy, passion or anything of that sort," she said.
Earlier, for the very first time, we heard from the woman in the passenger seat when Daunte Wright was pulled over and shot by police, Alayna Albrecht-Payton.
"He had his arms folded and he was just gasping," she testified. "I replay that image in my head daily."
Albrecht-Payton also apologized to Katie Bryant, Wright's mother, who had called his phone trying to re-establish contact after a call with him was cut off right before he was shot. Bryant testified tearfully a day earlier that she first saw her son's apparently lifeless body via that video call.
"I pointed the camera on him," Albrecht-Payton said. "And I'm so sorry I did that."
The prosecution also entered a lot of graphic video evidence and photos from the officers who first arrived on the scene after Wright had crashed his car.
The trial will start up again Friday at 10 a.m.
First-degree manslaughter requires prosecutors to prove Potter acted recklessly. Second-degree requires them to prove culpable negligence. Neither charge requires proof that she intended to kill. State sentencing guidelines call for just over seven years in prison on the first charge and four years on the other.

Soviet Roulette
This blog tracks my personal obsession with the Soviet revolutionary experience. Soviet Roulette is a diary, intellectual journal, series of creative writing exercises, notes for a novel, reading list, therapeutic enterprise, autobiography, extended love letter to Russia, forum for informal book reviews, chaotic sketch of a course syllabus, and "tribute band" to Russia's best historians.
Irene Nemirovsky's The Wine of Solitude
After reading The Mirador, a "fictional autobiography" of Irene Nemirovsky by her daughter, I felt compelled to tackle those Nemirovsky's novels that touch upon her early years in the Russian Empire. The Wine of Solitude is such a book, and clearly provided her daughter with much of the inspiration for the early chapters of The Mirador. Like many of her books, it features a wicked, self-absorbed mother, and a wealthy father. Like the author, the non-observant Jewish protagonist, Helene, grew up in the Ukraine. She described her childhood hometown thus: "The silence of the sleepy provincial town, lost deep within Russia, was intense, heavy and overwhelmingly sad." Later, Helene moved as St. Petersburg, but it equally depressing, introducing the famous capital city accordingly: "How harshly it blew, that day, the biting north wind, and what a sickly odor of filthy water rose from the Neva." Soon, Helene was displaced again, and this time by the Revolution. Moving briefly to Finland, she ultimately found her way to France, which she already knew from a series of earlier vacations.
The book's chief virtue is that it's told from the point of view of youth, but lacks any sense of condescension. While young, Helene is perfectly capable of maintaining her own intellectual vitality, and equally capable of offering the reader an uncompromising critique of the adults in her life. While the novel doesn't dwell on the Revolution, it does demonstrate the extent to which the Revolution could serve as a plot point in the psychological development of Russians. The Revolution was both a social fact and an individual one. The Revolution led Helene into exile but, unusually for the time, did not diminish the wealth for her family. It did however appear as a sad or even tragic event, somehow mirroring Helene's own bitterness about her family situation. Great events, like great cities, could be experienced as new forms of tragedy. Without sentimentalism, the author introduces the twentieth century's most influential political convulsion with deliberately minimal commentary. "The February Revolution came and went, then the October Revolution. The city was distraught, buried in snow."
The Wine of Solitude is a deeply personal novel, somehow describing the personal pain of the protagonist and the universal pain of entering the inhospitable world of adulthood. However, the novel is also a commentary on Russia, which forced Helene into exile. The Revolution did not bring joy to people like Helene. Instead, it brought a new level of chaos, decay, and disorder. In fact, its chief visual legacy for Helene was garbage. As the author remarks: "In the darkness they could smell the rancid odor of the canals; no one had bothered to clean them since the February Revolution; no one bothered to repair their stones; the city was crumbling beneath the weight of the water, slowly disintegrating, becoming a city of smoke, illusions and fog, retreating into a void."
The chaos of post-revolutionary Russia soon led to exile, which often entailed new forms of confusion and anxiety, if not also delusion. Where should exiles go if they could no longer live in their homeland? "They talked about Shanghai, Tehran, Constantinople. They had to leave. But where should they go? Danger was everywhere, but since everyone was in the same boat it seemed less urgent; it would pass." Helene ultimately landed in France, physically safe and still relatively rich. But of course even safety can be experienced as trauma if one's father remains psychologically distant, and one's mother is your rival rather than protector.
A few quotes from the book:
...she was always sad, complaining, anxious: everything was an excuse for her to sigh, to lament. "Life is bad," she would say. "God is terrible. Men are harsh..."
Take my time, my care, my blood, my flesh...she seemed to be saying as she stared at them with her soft, dead eyes.
Her entire life was scarred by the marks of misfortune and unhappiness; she had experienced poverty, illness, the death of people she loved; her husband had cheated on her, betrayed her; she felt that her daughter and her husband could barely stand her. She had been born old, anxious, weary, while everyone around her was overflowing with vitality and passionate desires. But her main affliction was a kind of prophetic sadness; she seemed more included to fear the future than weep for the past.
A rush of anguish suddenly ran through the child, making her shudder; she sat in a corner holding a book, quiet and alone; she felt as if she could sense the solitude of the grave; the room became hostile and frightening; beyond the narrow circle of the light from the lamp, darkness reigned; the shadows slithered toward Helene, rising to engulf her; she strained to push them away, like a swimmer pushing back the water with his arms.
It was late autumn and the children were confined to the safety of their room, to protect them from the cold air that Russians feared as if it were a plague.
On one side of her was her husband, who wore glasses and had cold, pale hands; on the other her long-standing lover, who was even older, fatter, and balder than her husband.
"Your hair's no naturally curly, is it?" Her lips were so pursed that they words came out in a kind of soft whistle, like the sound of a flute.
"Jealous bitch," thought Helene.
"Did you also know Safronov senior when he was at the height of his success?" asked Madame Manasse. "When I came to live here he was already old."
"Yes, I did know him. He squandered three fortunes: his mother's, his wife's and his daughter's, who had some money left to her by his wife's father. Three fortunes..."
Oh, how she hated Mademoiselle Rose. It was a shy hatred, but a profound one.
"Live with the dogs, not like them," he sometimes told Karol, since Karol loved gambling, wine and women.
"What is in the interest of Russia," Chestov said harshly and looked around him, haughtily scrutinizing everyone as if to remind them all that he was the representative of the government and had the right to look deep into their hearts and souls in the name of the Emperor.
"What am I complaining about?" she thought. "I'm no different from anyone else. Of course, everyone's house has an adulterous wife, unhappy children, and busy men who think only of money.

Ethan Kessler: Illegitimate resistance
by Ethan Kessler February 18, 2019 April 20, 2021
The arrangement of powers between lawmakers and law enforcement can seem very simple in the abstract. Lawmakers make the laws, and law enforcement enforces those laws. In practice, this relationship can be a bit more complicated. Politics and personal convictions muddy up an otherwise clear delineation of authority.
In Washington state, authority has been muddied up beyond mere complication. Sheriffs in a dozen counties have committed to stop enforcing the expansive gun control law I-1639, passed in November by state referendum, at least until courts have decided on its constitutionality. Genuine, yet still illegitimate, the Washington sheriffs' principled resistance illustrates a larger, troubling ideology of extremist Second Amendment interpretation.
What should first be made clear is that the sheriffs in question are not unaware of the moral dilemma posed by their actions. On one hand, there is the duty of law enforcement to carry out orders as they are given. This expectation is what enables us, as citizens, to trust that laws are worth the paper they are printed on. As Attorney General Robert Kennedy pointedly remarked to white Georgians in 1961, on the subject of federally mandated school desegregation, "… (M)y belief does not matter – it is the law. Some of you may believe the decision was wrong. That does not matter. It is the law." Washington state's current attorney general, Bob Ferguson, has similarly reminded the sheriffs that "as public officers, (their) duty is to abide by the will of the people (they) serve, and implement and enforce the laws they adopt."
On the other hand, society does well to ensure that law enforcement still maintains its oath to high principle. It is reassuring to have our laws enforced by real human beings, and not by blindly loyal androids devoid of moral conviction. Whichever of these conflicting commitments the 12 sheriffs prioritize, in this case, is aptly laid out by Grant County Sheriff Tom Jones: "I swore an oath to defend our citizens and their constitutionally protected rights. I do not believe the popular vote overrules that."
In essence, the actions of the sheriffs then constitute a rule departure, or the deliberate decision by authorities to not properly discharge their duties as their office requires. Are such acts inherently wrong? Recent American history would have us lean toward the affirmative. From Southern whites who resisted federal civil rights legislation to Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis and her infamous refusal to issue marriage licenses for gay couples, public officials supplanting professional loyalty with personal judgment have generally been overruled swiftly and without lasting repercussions.
Yet, the protestors do not likely view themselves in such light. To them, such dissidence is for the ultimate good of the people, whose liberty is secured by strong gun rights and thereby threatened by the referendum. Intelligent individuals could debate endlessly on the merits of this abrogation of traditional legislative power. In this case, however, one needs only to look at the sheriffs' purported justifications for dissidence to see that they are, indeed, wrong to disobey the Washington referendum.
By reasonable standards, the actual policy measures put forth by I-1639 are wholly acceptable. The law raises the minimum age to purchase semi-automatic rifles from 18 to 21, and requires those purchasing them take a training course, pass an enhanced background check and wait 10 business days before their purchased rifle can be delivered to them. What is at all unreasonable about a state requiring its residents to be of responsible age and capacity to own guns? How about a state ensuring guns are not sold to those with dangerous pasts or in unsound states of mind?
To those propositions, a truly reasonable gun enthusiast would not balk. Guns are powerful implements, so requiring gun owners to prove they are generally responsible and capable is far from the radical imposition these sheriffs have decried it as. Yet preventive measures such as these are often lamented by Second Amendment extremists as futile — as one of the participatory dissidents, Sheriff Bob Songer of Klickitat County fatalistically explains, "Bad guys are going to have guns regardless." Songer may find it shocking that banks still enclose their cash in vaults, a truly useless protection against robbers who could seemingly "get in regardless."
In addition to putting forth entirely reasonable public safety measures, I-1639 successfully avoids imposing undue burdens on responsible gun owners. It does not categorically ban any type of firearm, and thereby protects the existing gun protections of all Washingtonians above the age of 21. Those who would invoke traditional definitions of the American militia in decrying this age increase would be hard-pressed to explain why a militia comprised of Americans aged 17 and up is impinged by gun purchase limits set at 21 years of age, but not at 18 years of age (as is the case in most of the country). And, even though the law prevents 18 to 21-year-old Washingtonians from owning semiautomatic rifles, a host of other firearms are still purchasable for hunting or home defense.
Yet it is perhaps in one of I-1639's other provisions that the core of the problem is best illuminated. The law, in addition to these measures, establishes penalties for those adults careless enough to leave their firearm in the reach of children and burglars. Here, the state is attempting to reduce the risk that irresponsible gun owners leave their weapons vulnerable to theft or improper discharge. By imposing regulations for safe storage of firearms, it is protecting both the property and loved ones of firearm owners who would otherwise not know better. Likewise, several of Washington's sheriffs appear to be protecting their citizens from what they believe to be misguided instincts. These sheriffs' views on state authority, however, provide shaky ground for their subversive stand. That these views are highly problematic and faulted make them even more inadequate. Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson is right to call his officers back to attention.

A common misconception is that owning a WordPress website is free of costs. While WordPress itself is "free" software (as in beer, as well as speech), running a solid WordPress site itself isn't free. There are some ongoing costs associated with any reliable WordPress site that people new to websites overlook or don't understand. Let's run down those costs and explain them in detail.
Self-hosted WordPress is the most powerful and customizable version of working with WordPress. "But I have a WordPress website and it's free," you might say. "My website can be found at myname.wordpress.com. That's WordPress, right?" Yes and no. When we at Clockpunk talk about WordPress, we're talking about self-hosted WordPress, sometimes referred to as wordpress.org. A subject of much confusion, WordPress.com is a managed software-as-service, kind of like Blogger or Squarespace. It runs on a modified version of WordPress, and offers a basic free tier. This is one form of WordPress, and using it takes a lot of hassle out of things. However, if you want your own unique, custom design and functionality, you'll need to move eventually to hosting your own WordPress site.
In order to do this, you must purchase hosting from a hosting provider — basically, you rent space and usage on a server from a company that specializes in hosting websites on their network. Our recommended hosting partner is currently Dreamhost. They have some solid offerings, and in particular, they offer WordPress-tailored hosting called DreamPress, which we find very reliable and fast. If money's no object, there's WPEngine too, which is simply amazing to work with, but considerably more expensive, and mostly of interest to businesses that can afford the absolute best. We find DreamPress to be a good balance of quality and price.
You may be tempted to spend less on hosting, perhaps buying something called "shared hosting." These plans often run around $5-9 dollars a month, but they're not great for WordPress users. Shared hosting was perfectly fine when a website was made up of static files that didn't change often, but WordPress is active software, and software requires resources to work. The nature of WordPress is that it dynamically generates pages and content on the server, utilizing memory and processing time. Shared hosting works by cramming hundreds of websites onto the same server, and all these websites then compete for the same limited pool of resources. To stretch their dollar, hosting companies often configure inpidual shared hosting accounts to have very limited resources. Think of a WordPress website as a plant; if you don't water it and give it sunlight, it won't grow well. Without good memory and processing resources, WordPress websites will crash and/or run slowly. Stay away from shared hosting if you can. Very small sites with light traffic can get away with it. For our custom-built sites, we highly recommend DreamPress. It runs around $200 a year, and it's just the most dependable hosting we've worked with. Trust us; we've tried dozens of hosts and hosting plans in working with our clients.
A domain name is the address by which your website can be reached, and looks something like yourwebsitename.com. Without it, people can't easily access your site, and would need to type in a string of numbers known as an IP address to reach it. Domain names are an ongoing cost that you'll need to take into consideration.
You can have and use as many domain names as you want. If you're really concerned with people copying you, make sure you buy up the .net and .org versions of your domain name as well as .com. There are dozens of domain name registrars that sell domains, just like there are companies that sell hosting (and quite a few that sell both).
You've likely already heard of GoDaddy because of their extensive advertising campaigns. Domain name registrars, unlike hosting companies, are mostly the same, so it doesn't matter much who you use, although we prefer WSM Domains and NameCheap just because they tend to have lower cost prices. Many domain name registrars will try to sell you lots of weird, unnecessary add-ons. The only one with any real value are the "privacy locks" which will prevent the registry from publishing your home address tied to your domain name with a WhoIs look up. If you don't want people finding your home address, the privacy protection is a useful add-on, and some providers will even offer this without much of a charge.
A note on hosting and domain name registration: We recommend keeping these two services separate if you want to move your hosting, it's more difficult if you need to transfer your domain names too. Domain name registrars like to make the process of moving very complicated, ostensibly for security, but sometimes we wonder, given how often transfers seem to fail with unspecified reasons.
WordPress and its plugins often have frequent updates, and if you want to keep your site secure, it's important to regularly install these updates. Updates add new features but most importantly, they fix security holes found in previous versions of the software. No software is perfect, and over time, very crafty people can find their ways to deface your website; the best defense against this is keeping your site up to date, and regularly backing up your content.
These tasks can be annoyances and it's easy to forget them. That's why Clockpunk Studios offers a regular annual maintenance service. We take care of the technical aspects of maintaining a WordPress website so that you can focus on your content. Even if you hire a kid down the block to do this, you'll be in better shape than if you set up a WordPress website and forget about it for months at a time. Unfortunately, the Internet moves quickly, and our websites need to be current. WordPress websites can be a commitment, but we believe the benefits they offer outweigh the costs!
We at Clockpunk Studios work hard to keep costs for our clients low, because we are working writers too and we know what writing pays these days. We work with WordPress because we can build websites faster, and with more functionality, than if we built everything from scratch with our own proprietary tools. We like to be up-front with our potential clients that while we keep costs low, there are some fees that you can't avoid. While these ongoing costs do add up, we still think WordPress is one of the best values for the money. In some cases, a website without reliable hosting or a professional domain name is worse than not having a website at all!

Q: Как изменить отображение страницы без перезагрузки? Буквально недавно подобный вопрос задавал, но сейчас чуть более точно всё объясню, ибо совет с window resize не особо изменил ход событий.
За отвратный пример кода заранее извиняюсь. Я с jquery / js особо не сталкивался, но в данной ситуации для желаемого результата одними возможностями css видимо справиться проблематично.
Суть работы этого кода :

var mh = 0;
      $(".header_h").each(function () {
        var h_block = ($(this).height());
        if(h_block > mh) {
          {mh = h_block;
            $(".header_h").height(mh);
          }
        };
      });

заключается в следующем : Если какой-то из элементов с указанным классом изменяет свою высоту на большую - все остальные элементы с этим же классом тоже должны изменять свою высоту. Но проблема заключается в том, что это изменение происходит лишь после перезагрузки страницы, как это можно исправить?

Editor's Note: This edition of Morning Pulse is published weekdays at 10 a.m. POLITICO Pro Health Care subscribers hold exclusive early access to the newsletter each morning at 6 a.m. To learn more about POLITICO Pro's comprehensive policy intelligence coverage, policy tools and services, click here.
— There's significant support for a national health care plan, according to a new POLITICO/Harvard poll that found 68 percent of respondents were in favor of an idea like Medicare for All.
— The Supreme Court will hear arguments in a drug-labeling case that could have wide-ranging implications for when drugmakers are protected from certain consumer lawsuits.
— A Trump appointee defended HHS' work to reunify migrant families in an interview with POLITICO's "Pulse Check" podcast, recorded after the official left the Trump administration on Friday.
WELCOME BACK TO MONDAY PULSE — And welcome to Day 17 of the shutdown, where it might feel like limbo, but the safety risks are real.
How's the shutdown affecting you? PULSE wants to hear your stories: Send them to ddiamond@politico.com.
DEMOCRATS OVERWHELMINGLY SUPPORT A MEDICARE FOR ALL-TYPE PLAN — That's according to a new POLITICO and Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health poll, which found that 84 percent of Democrats want Congress to enact a taxpayer-funded, national health care plan, such as Medicare for All.
About 42 percent of Democrats surveyed are in favor of repealing and replacing Obamacare — but that's largely because they want to build on the health law's coverage gains, POLITICO's Rachel Roubein notes.
… Republicans don't share Democrats' enthusiasm for a national health care plan, with just 39 percent in favor of the idea.
But GOP respondents were in favor of having more health coverage options, like a voluntary Medicare buy-in for people under age 65 (60 percent of Republicans surveyed) and, with a slim majority, a public option (51 percent of Republicans). Democrats were overwhelmingly in favor of both. (Most respondents weren't aware of these options when initially asked, but were broadly supportive of the ideas.) More here.
SUPREME COURT HEARS ARGUMENTS IN DRUG LABELING CASE — The case, Merck Sharp & Dohme Corp. v. Albrecht, centers around lawsuits against Merck that contend the drug company didn't sufficiently convey the risk of fractures from its osteoporosis drug Fosamax.
Merck's argument: Yes, the drug caused the fractures, but Merck's not liable because FDA rejected the company's attempts to strengthen warnings on drug labels. SCOTUSblog recap.
— The case could have big implications for pharma companies' legal risks. POLITICO's Sarah Karlin-Smith will be on hand to break down the oral arguments.
PULSE CHECK: HOW HHS APPROACHED FAMILY REUNIFICATION — Chris Meekins, the Trump appointee who helped oversee migrant family reunifications before leaving HHS last week, described the process to put thousands of families back together and defended the administration's work.
— HHS staff had to comb through more than 60 different datasets being kept by the Department of Homeland Security to find information to reunite families, said Meekins, who compared the process to a forensic data analysis. HHS also added new tracking capabilities to spreadsheets, which had been missing beforehand.
— "I personally disagreed with" the family separation policy, said Meekins — an official who normally worked on biodefense and emergency preparedness, but was brought in to help work on reuniting families. He demurred on repeated questions about whether HHS was prepared to implement the policy.
Meekins also defended the health department's role in the crisis, reiterating that the family separation policy was driven by former Attorney General Jeff Sessions and implemented by DHS. "HHS did not separate kids. Period," he said.
IT'S JPM WEEK AGAIN — Thousands of health care executives, investors and other leaders are descending on San Francisco for the 37th annual J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference, billed as the largest and oldest health care symposium in the world.
— Get the scoop: POLITICO's Darius Tahir along with Victoria Colliver will have you covered, filing updates on the trends, key presentations (nearly 500 companies are slated to present, so manage your expectations) and cocktail-party chatter during the week.
— Want to connect? Find Darius at dtahir@politico.com or on Twitter @dariustahir, covering eHealth trends. Victoria, our California correspondent, is at vcolliver@politico.com and @vcolliver.
— Meanwhile: JPM's keynote affected by the shutdown. FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb cancelled his attendance due to the federal government shutdown, but will still deliver his keynote Tuesday remotely.
HEALTH CARE ADDS NEARLY 350,000 JOBS IN 2018 — That's according to Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates posted on Friday, a nearly 22 percent increase over 2017.
The biggest driver of jobs growth: Hospitals, which added nearly 108,000 jobs last year.
— More than 50,000 health care jobs were created in December alone, according to BLS, which would be the single biggest monthly gain in history, pending further revisions.
— One downside of more health jobs: Higher health costs. Writing in JAMA, Dartmouth's Jon Skinner and Harvard's Amitabh Chandra recently demonstrated the link between health jobs and health spending.
"The robust growth in new health care jobs during 2018 is, to me, good evidence that efforts to reduce health care spending substantially has failed," Skinner told PULSE.
FIRST IN PULSE: Young adults at risk from Medicaid work requirements in Arkansas. That's according to an analysis by Young Invincibles, which calculates that more than 32,000 state residents between ages 19 and 29 could lose their Medicaid coverage if they don't meet the requirements. That's nearly 40 percent of all Medicaid enrollees in that age bracket. See analysis.
Arkansas on Jan. 1 extended its Medicaid work requirements to the age 19-to-29 population. POLITICO recently detailed how the state's work requirements are playing out.
FIRST IN PULSE: The AMA urges states to remove key barrier to MAT. Too many Americans are being harmed by delays in accessing medication-assisted treatment for opioid addictions, Barbara McAneny, the AMA's president, writes in an essay that was shared first with PULSE.
Many payers require physicians and patients to spend days or weeks waiting for authorization to use MAT to treat opioid-use disorder. The AMA — which applauded Pennsylvania's recent decision to get rid of prior authorization for medication-assisted treatment — has model legislation for states seeking to similarly remove prior authorization for MAT.
"There is no valid reason to delay or deny medically proven care that can help end the nation's opioid epidemic and improve patients' health and lives," McAneny writes. "Together, we can change policy and save lives."
Mary Mayhew to run Florida's Medicaid program. The senior Trump administration official overseeing Medicaid is leaving CMS after less than three months on the job, POLITICO's Rachana Pradhan and Alexandra Glorioso were first to report. Mayhew's known for her work to shrink the safety net in Maine. More for Pros.
— Elections have consequences, Florida edition. Democratic gubernatorial candidate Andrew Gillum had pledged to push for Medicaid expansion for more than 700,000 Floridians. But Gillum fell a fraction of a percentage point short — and Ron DeSantis, Florida's incoming GOP governor, instead is signaling that he'll likely tighten eligibility.
Sen. Pat Roberts says he won't run for re-election. The Kansas Republican on Friday announced that he'll retire in 2020 instead. Roberts sits on the Senate Finance and HELP committees, the two key committees for health care legislation. The seat has been held by Republicans for decades.
— PULSE muses: What about Kathleen Sebelius? The ex-HHS secretary has won statewide races, as former Kansas governor and insurance commissioner, and while any Democrat would face long odds, the party won the governor's office and flipped a GOP House seat in November.
Sebelius also has an indirect connection to Roberts: Her father-in-law was Roberts' former boss and his predecessor in the House.
ICYMI: Health advocates want schizophrenia to be reclassified. The condition is a brain disease, not a mental illness, advocacy groups say — and if Congress agrees, that could unlock more money for cures, POLITICO's Brianna Ehley reports. More.
Electronic records lawsuit could force overhaul. A lawsuit brought by the National Federation of the Blind against Epic Systems has the potential to force hundreds of digital health vendors to reconfigure their EHRs so the blind can use them more easily, POLITICO's Darius Tahir reports. More for Pros.
California: Tam Ma to be deputy legislative affairs secretary for health, human services. Ma, who has been serving as an assistant secretary at California's Health and Human Services Agency, was previously director of legal and policy at Health Access California.
Texas: Senate health chair gives up post ahead of new session. Republican State Sen. Charles Schwertner plans to step down from leading the Health and Human Services Committee, the Texas Tribune reported.
Schwertner was recently investigated by the University of Texas over a report that he sent sexually explicit messages and photos to a student. Schwertner denied the accusation, and the university ultimately concluded that a third party possibly sent the messages.
Sandy Robert named to lead Association for Women in Science. Robert, who has more than two decades of experience at national scientific societies and educational institutions, will take the reins at the advocacy organization later this month.
Dan Diamond is the author of "POLITICO Pulse," the must-read morning briefing on health care politics and policy. He's also the creator of PULSE CHECK, the popular podcast that features weekly conversations with politicians like Sen. Susan Collins, leaders like Kaiser Permanente's Bernard J. Tyson and thinkers like Atul Gawande.

Q: The meaning of Blow-up of a measure in a point I originally was wondering what is a varifold because I wanted to know about the Plateau's problem (if the boundary of curve )is something pathological like a tentacle shape. Hence, I am now seeing the concept that is related to the geometrical measure theory. Anyway, my question that is interesting but difficult to understand while learning is the concept of the blowing-up of a measure in a point, like the title.
According to the Toro's lecture, when she proved the Marstrand's theorem( or  see Thm1.1 on Marco Inversi's PDF), she refers to the keyword blowing up $\nu$ at $y_0$.( she changed some notations during the lecture).  Then what is blowing-up in this sense? To begin with, I, naturally, imagine the blowing-up in the sense of algebraic geometry and 'resolution of singularity' comes to mind. My main question is here : What is the relation between the blowing-up process about the measure in point and blowing-up in algebraical geometrical sense?.
Actually, according to the Marco, he stated what is the meaning of blowing-up in the Remark 1.18.

*

*Notation : $\mu_{x,r}(A):= \mu_(x+rA)$ where $A \in \mathbb{R}^n$ is a Borel set.

*Blowing-up the measure $\mu$ blowing up at the point $x$ means that we want
to study the limiting behaviour of $\mu_{x,r}/r^\alpha $
rα as $r$ goes to $0$. By notiation  $\mu_{x,r}(B_1)/r^\alpha =  \mu (B_r(x))/r^\alpha$. And as $r$ goes to $0$. the numerator goes to the measure of the point x and the denominator blows up to $\infty$...

When I read Remark1.18, the concept of blowing-up seems to be not related to the algebraic geometry sense.. just literally, the fraction blows up when denominator goes to $0$ . However, when I see the Proposition1.19 and its proof, these might be similar to some extent.
Prop1.19[Tangent measure to a $C^1$ submanifold] Let $\sum$ be $k$-submanifold of $\mathbb{R}^n$ of class $C^1$(without boundary). Letting $\mu:= \mathcal{H}^k\llcorner \sum  $, the following hold true :

*

*for all $x\in \sum$ and for all $r>0$,  $\mu_{x,r}/r^k = \mathcal{H}^k\llcorner(\frac{\sum-x}{r}) $

*for all $x\in \sum$ , $\mathcal{H}^k\llcorner(\frac{\sum-x}{r}) \overset{*}{\rightharpoonup} \mathcal{H}^k\llcorner Tan_x \sum $, as $r$ goes $0$
[the proof the proposition of Prop1.19] : ... We denote as $B_\delta^k$ the $k$-dimensional ball centered at the origin in $R^
k$ of radius $\delta$. As
for the second statement, we can make the following assumptions:

*

*$x=0$,

*$Tan_x \sum =\operatorname{Span}(c_1,...c_k)= \mathbb{R}^k $ where $\mathbb{R}^{n}=R^k \times \mathbb{R}^{n-k}$

*there exists $\delta \ge 0$ and a $C^1$ map $\Phi :$B_\delta^{k}$ \to B_\delta ^{n-k}$ such that $\Gamma \cap ( B_\delta^{k} \times B_\delta ^{n-k}) $  is the graph of $\Phi$, that is ...

In other words, the use of the graph $\Gamma$ , and projection map $\pi: \mathbb{R}^{n}=\mathbb{R}^k \times \mathbb{R}^{n-k} \to \mathbb{R}^k $ ) evoke the blow up in the sense of algebraical geometry.

The aftermath of the financial crisis has brought about a new regulatory landscape, creating disruption and chaos in its wake for the Finance function.
The intensity of the shifting environment has pushed the Finance function to react to large swathes of Finance driven regulatory change. However it is crucial that regulation is seen as an enabler for strategic enhancement rather than as a necessary evil. The challenge lies in moving Finance change initiatives beyond satisfying regulatory requirements to a point where it can harness the change to benefit banks holistically.
With an average of 110 regulatory changes tracked every day in the third quarter of 2013 (source: Thomson Reuters), the magnitude of change, coupled with the stringent compliance deadlines, has been daunting. Consequently, it does not come as a surprise that largely banks have tackled regulatory change as a box-ticking exercise.
Banks find themselves in a difficult situation as regulation not only triggers higher costs but also can limit innovation, profitability and growth. According to CitiGroup, about half of the bank's $3.4bn efficiency savings were spent on additional investments in regulatory and compliance activities. And, CitiGroup is only one example amongst many others.
The recent regulatory landscape has had a large impact on the operations of the Finance function which puts it in a prime role for driving the change agenda. A focussed transformation to the Finance function that aligns the regulatory framework with the operating strategy, and develops processes which proactively support change expectations, will allow Finance to act as an enabler for regulatory change and facilitate the strategic growth of the bank.
Developing a long-term strategy to successfully integrate regulatory demand is not unattainable. Take stress testing as an example. Currently, regulatory imposed stress tests are generally only undertaken to ensure the regulators are satisfied. But imagine if the processes implemented to conduct the stress tests, and the results produced from them, were used to inform management of the feasibility and financial implications of business decisions. With a change in approach the bank could quickly move from ticking boxes to finding some real business value from regulatory change.
Another example can be found in regulatory reporting, which requires large quantities of data to be gathered – a task that banks have not traditionally been well set up to manage. The process could produce a rich set of metrics which, when analysed beyond the regulatory requirement, could be used to draw conclusions on how to improve business performance.
Transformational focus should lie in developing processes which enhance functionality and performance beyond regulatory compliance, rather than tactical solutions which grind to a halt once the regulatory requirement has been fulfilled.

Q: Open subset of Topological Space If I have some topological space $X$ with topology $\mathcal{T}$, is any open subset of $X$ a topological space with the same topology.
I'm just starting to teach myself about topological spaces. After looking at the open set and neighborhood definition I was wondering if this is true. I feel like it is but I'm not sure how to justify that. Any help is much appreciated!

A: A proper open set $U$ cannot be a topological space with the same topology $\mathcal T$. This is because $\mathcal T$ has $X$ in it, while $X$ is not a subset if $U$.
However, given any subset $A$ of $X$, you can construct a topology $\mathcal T_A$ on $A$ by defining $\mathcal T_A$ as
$$\mathcal T_A = \{U\cap A:\ U\in \mathcal T\}$$
It is a trivial check that $\mathcal T_A$ is indeed a topology on $A$.
This is called the subspace topology induced on $A$ by $X$.

A: It can't necessarily be a topological space with the same topology, right?  Unless the subset you're considering is $X$ itself.
But what you can do, is consider the subspace topology.  The open sets are defined to be intersections of open sets in $\tau$ with $\mathscr U$.
