The Wrong Fight At The Wrong Time
By Mark Esposito, Guest Blogger
The horrific events in Newtown, Connecticut have left us all with a sense of shock and helplessness. Twenty elementary school children dead, six educators slaughtered, and a place we all like to think of as a safe haven from the misery of the world polluted by horrific violence wrought by weapons more properly used on a battlefield. Politicians from President Obama to New York Mayor Bloomberg have called for "meaningful action" to combat gun violence which is endemic to America.
But does this mass murder of innocents present the right case to support effective gun control? From what we know now the answer is "no." The shooter, 20-year-old Adam Lanza, was a troubled teen who suffered from either Asperger's syndrome or a personality disorder according to the New York Daily News. One family friend described the young man, saying, "This was a deeply disturbed kid. He certainly had major issues. He was subject to outbursts from what I recall."
Lanza also had strange permutation of the syndrome in that he was impervious to normal stimuli. Another "longtime" family friend said Lanza had a condition "where he couldn't feel pain. A few years ago when he was on the baseball team, everyone had to be careful that he didn't fall because he could get hurt and not feel it."
Asperger's syndrome is an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) which allows the sufferer to maintain high academic and cognitive functioning but handicaps social interaction. It is the classic high school brainiac who is unable to ask a member of the opposite sex out on a date. The cause is unknown but certain genetic markers may be present to suggest that is its origin. Thus, Lanza may have acted from a motivation he had little control over and which no amount of gun control or mental health legislation could control.
Additionally, the guns used in the slayings were purchased legally by Lanza's apparent first victim, his mother, Nancy. Lanza stole the weapons — a .223 Bushmaster assault weapon*, and two semi-automatic handguns, a 9 mm Sig Sauer, and a 9 mm Glock — after murdering his mother and thus began his rampage. The simple fact is that no gun control measures either on the books or reasonably under consideration could have stopped such a disturbed person from acquiring these weapons if he was willing to kill to get them.
As much as many of us would like to see guns regulated at least as much as cars or liquor, the facts here do not present the best case to achieve this goal. The American love affair with guns is seemingly getting stronger with sales of firearms setting new records. Gun manufacturers and their minions at the NRA have succeeded in scaring many Americans into believing that Obama and the Democratic Party have a secret agenda to disarm the public.
In fact, the public's support for gun control has been on a steady decline according to polling conducted by Pew Research. Even the school mass murder at Columbine registered only a bump of support which quickly vanished. The chart below (from the Huffington Post) graphically demonstrates the public's attitude about guns in an era of distrust with government and the political process.
It would take a paradigm shift in the culture to create the political will to take on the Second Amendment. It is a telling — and perhaps damning — fact that even the death of 20 children under age 10 is simply not enough.

When I lived in NYC, even though I am about the same stats as justagurl, whenever I was walking behind someone and we were either somewhat close and no one else around, or it was dusk or later I always would say, "It's just me" so they would not be afraid. Under stand your hround you had better let them know early on you are not a threat to them, of course even if you said it they can claim you did not.
Thta this person thght he could use the SYG as his excuse is enough reason for legialators to start looking at the law, if only at the wording (foget that it is assinine and opens the door to unjustified killing)
Malisha says:
Justagurl, I worry about you, now that you told me your statistics. DO NOT BUY PIZZA. (BTW, in another Florida case, a man shot another man to death over a pork chop. Perhaps the warning should be: DO NOT TRY TO EAT ANYTHING IN FLORIDA.)

Florida Man Invokes 'Stand Your Ground' Law After Shooting Fellow Pizza Customer
By Scott Keyes on Dec 19, 2012
http://thinkprogress.org/justice/2012/12/19/1360511/michael-jock-shooter/
A Florida man defended his decision to shoot an impatient pizza customer over the weekend, citing the state's infamous "Stand Your Ground" law.
Michael Jock, a 52-year-old resident of St. Petersburg, was standing in line behind 49-year-old Randall White at a local Little Caesars on Sunday when Jock grew angry over White's complaints about the speed of service. The two began to shove one another, prompting Jock to pull out a .38 Taurus Ultralight Special Revolver that had been concealed on his person and fire twice, hitting White both times in the lower torso.
The Tampa Bay Times has more:
After the shooting, both men went outside and waited for police. Jock told officers the shooting was justified under "stand your ground," [police spokesman Mike] Puetz said.
"He felt he was in his rights," Puetz said. "He brought it up specifically and cited it to the officer."
He told officers he feared for his life. He mentioned that he thought White had an object in his hand, then backed off that when officers pressed him. Florida's "stand your ground law" says people are not required to retreat before using deadly force.
Police, however, disagreed with Jock's interpretation of the law and arrested him on charges of aggravated battery and firing a weapon within a building.

blood hell……
That stand your ground law is one of the DUMBEST they have come up with……
Fact is…. I am 5ft tall…. and "roughly" 120 lbs…..
in some cases some people could look VERY dangerous compared to me…..
Would this law make it OK for me to just shoot a 6 ft tall large guy who was walking behind me ?????
This situation almost looks as if this shooter was LOOKING for a REASON
to use this law….. Wanting a chance to shoot somebody and not be on the hook for it……
I imagine there are a LOT of people who are actually LOOKING for an
excuse to USE this law……

I can't recall where I read that you were twice as likely to be killed by a falling vending machine than in a terrorist attack; but I did read it a few times back when the 9/11 report was first published.
Maybe in the Atlantic Monthly??
Nothing, Bob. Just covering the bases.
"but I think both you (and Bob) are off base if you use them for anything other than risk analysis."
What else did I use it for??
Thanks, Bob.
That kind of stuff is handy to have around.

Nhan Viet has provided systems for all types of environments from; -40°C to 170°C, high caustic requiring Inconel tubing and painted SS 316L enclosures.
Nhan Viet understands the SIL standards and requirements. Nhan Viet has built SIL 4 systems and uses that expertise to provide the highest SIL Level components in every system we design and build.
The Multi Well Modular System was originally designed for marginal fields to allow for expansion and deletion of wells as well as to change from production to injection as required by the production.
This allows for optimum interchangeability with minimal downtime. It has now become the industry standard.
PLC based Wellhead Control Systems are growing in use for companies that want to extract optimized output from remote oil and gas fields. This allows for safe, efficient, and effective remote well site management.
The PLC bases system provides reduced installation cost by combining many of the monitoring and control for PID Control, Shutdown Functions, Online Monitoring, Alarm & SCADA, and Diagnostics.
Single Well units are designed for primarily onshore locations. Most of these locations are remote, do not have reliable power supply, and are in unmanned areas. Some applications include extremely harsh offshore applications.
The systems can range from very simple to more sophisticated systems with remote control and monitoring features that require the use of Solar Power. The use of Solar Power requires the experience and understanding of the complete system and ability to utilize components that are energy efficient and reliable in harsh conditions.
The typical specification requires design for catastrophic event of loss of sunlight and multiple cycling of the well. WT Petrotech has provided these types systems from the harsh jungle environment to the extreme desert environment.
The Emergency Shut Down (ESD)/Fusible Loop system is a critical sub-system of the overall "Oil Field" safety system. The Fusible loop system can be used as a stand-alone alarm only system, which activates automatically by fusible elements throughout the facility. Often they are used in conjunction with an ESD system to shut-in production, activate a "Water Deluge" system and sound a fire alarm.
With many models available the most common one is made of 316SS NEMA 4x (IP-65) enclosure/316L 3/8" x .035 tubing.
WT Petrotech is always up to the challenges of the changing methods, environmental conditions, and areas of oil and gas production. We realize that creative methods of powering the Wellhead Control are required.

Southampton would be making a big mistake in selling Michael Obafemi
by Jimmy Moorhouse share
3 minute read 28/12/2020 | 05:15pm
It has been reported recently in The Athletic that Southampton are willing to let Michael Obafemi leave in the January transfer window, should they agree a deal which suits both parties, meaning he could be allowed to leave on loan or permanently.
The Irishman has struggled for game time for the Saints this season, with Ralph Hasenhuttl rarely deviating from his front two of Che Adams and Danny Ings.
Even when Ings has been sidelined through injury, the Austrian manager has preferred loan signing Theo Walcott up front, whilst it seems as if youngsters Dan N'Lundulu and Nathan Tella have both moved ahead of Obafemi in the Saints pecking order.
As a result, he has made just one substitute appearance in the Premier League so far this season, which will undoubtedly be disappointing for the 20-year-old when you consider that last season saw him make 21 appearances in the top-flight.
Hasenhuttl has criticised the youngster's professionalism in the past, saying:
"The problem with Michael was always he would play one good game and then fall back a little bit and was not professional enough to force or keep his position in the team or in the squad."
Should Southampton sell Obafemi?
However, he has still shown himself as capable of being a threat in the Premier League, having contributed four goals and three assists in 29 appearances in the top-flight.
With Ings now sidelined after picking up a hamstring injury, you would hope that Obafemi would be given an opportunity to impress in the Saints' upcoming fixtures, instead of goal-shy 33-year-old Shane Long, who started the Boxing Day fixture against Fulham.
Unless Obafemi can impress Hasenhuttl with his work rate in training, however, he is unlikely to be selected to replace Ings. The England international has proved to be a constant threat with his pressing in recent seasons, something which Obafemi hasn't really shown so far in his time with the club.
The Republic of Ireland international is still just 20-years-old though and considering his contract is set to run until 2022, Martin Semmens and the Southampton board shouldn't rush into a decision on the youngster in January, simply because he isn't featuring as much in the first-team this season.
A loan move would perhaps be sensible, to ensure that Obafemi's progress isn't stifled too much, as they could definitely end up regretting selling the £4.05 million rated forward, as he showed enough last season to prove he can be a part of this Saints squad in the future.
1. Southampton kicked off 2020 with a superb New Year's Day win against which side?
Certainly, with Ings' future still hanging in the balance, with the former Liverpool man yet to agree a new contract with the club, it would make even less sense to let Obafemi leave permanently, as the youngster could well prove to be the natural successor to Ings, provided he can start to show a bit more professionalism and prove to Hasenhuttl that he deserves to start.
It will be interesting to see whether the 20-year-old gets his chance in the Southampton first-team in the coming weeks but even if he doesn't, the South Coast club shouldn't allow him to leave permanently in the January transfer window.
And, in other news… Hasenhuttl must make a brutal decision on "unbelievable" ace not good enough for the PL…

Got lost during the tutorial?
In this tutorial we'll explore two new features of Ruby on Rails - Action Cable and Active Job. Action Cable is without a doubt, the more thrilling of the two. It features integration of the WebSocket communication protocol which, compared to its ancestor HTTP, offers some great new features that will give you numerous new ideas for building things. Rails is perhaps the first mature framework to adopt and implement the WebScoket protocol in itself, so you can only imagine the possibilities of what you can build with it!
In HTTP, the connection between the server and the client has a short lifespan: The client requests a resource from the server, a connection with a server is established and the requested resource (be it JSON, HTML, XML or some kind of a file) is streamed to the client as a response. Then, the connection is closed. But how would the client know if the server has new or updated data? Usually, HTTP would use long polling, in which the client would "ask" the server if there is something new in a given interval of time.
Unlike HTTP, WebSockets is protocol that enables the client and the server to keep an open connection, enabling them to directly stream data between each other. The client subscribes to an open websocket connection in the server and when there is new information, the server broadcasts the data and the subscribed clients receive it. This way, both the server and the client know about the state of the data and can easily synchronize changes as they occur.
Since the Rails controllers are purpose-built to handle HTTP requests, Rails has devised a different way to handle its integration of WebSockets. Rails 5 apps have a new directory in the app directory called channels. Channels acts as controllers for WebSocket requests by encapsulating the logic about particular works of unit, such as chat messages or notifications. The channels can be subscribed to client-side in order to transmit data from-and-to the channel or multiple channels.
Action Cable requires the PostgreSQL as its adapter. You need to install it on your Operating System and configure it before continuing with the tutorial (go ahead, we'll wait).
When creating the a new Rails app, you need to specify it as an adapter so that the new app won't have the default SQLite.
Create a server-side websocket channel called room_channel that will have methods for when a client subscribes and unsubscribes, and a method for sending data to the client.
Make a Rails Job that will queue the new message to be created in the database and broadcast it back through the websocket channel after it is created.
First, let's start by scaffolding a simple controller for the chat room. It will contain the view for the chat itself.
Next, we'll create the model which, as you'd probably guess, is called message and it will have a content attribute where the actual message will be stored.
And migrate it into the database. Note that in Rails 5, you can use rails for rake tasks.
With the model ready, let's add all the messages to the show action.
The controllers and the model are done, time to move on to the views.
render @messages will automatically look for a _message.html.erb partial in the views/messages directory to display each single message, so that we don't have to write anything extra--it just can't get DRYer than that!
So far, it's all been the standard Rails stuff. Time to move to the interesting part: Creating your first ActionCable channel.
Mount it in routes.rb .
You'll also want to check to see if you have <%= action_cable_meta_tag %> in the head section of app/views/layouts/application.html.erb.
The subscribed method is a default that's called when a client connects to the channel, and it's usually used to 'subscribe' the client to listen to changes. The speak action is a custom action that we created when we ran the generator. It will be used to receive data from its client-side representation.
Typing App.cable will show you what the actual representation of ActionCable looks like client-side. App.room is the channel we just created. By typing App.room.speak we call the speak() function from the room.coffee file, which then transmits data to the speak method in room_channel.
In the terminal you can see that the method has been successfully called from the client. Awesome!
This will send a message object serialized as JSON to the server-side speak method in the RoomChannel. Consequently, we need to change the method so that it accepts parameters! Let's do that.
Now, the speak method will take the message and broadcast it to room_channel. But how do we get the broadcasts from it? In order to do that, we'll assign all the subscribers to listen to it by using stream_from in the subscribed method.
An event listener has been added on the bottom of the file for the textbox we put in the template. When you write something in textbox and press Enter/Return, it will call the speak function of the room, which will send the text in the input to the server-side method.
Restart your rails server, and try typing a message in the text field and clicking enter. Did you get an alert? If you open multiple browsers or tabs on localhost:3000 and you type something, you will get alerts on all of them because they'll all be subscribed to the same channel.
Look at that, we've completed a full cycle: The message goes from the client to the server and bounces back to the server to all clients that have subscribed to the channel.
We don't have enough control in what format the messages are broadcasted.
What we're aiming to achieve is to broadcast the _message.html.erb partial we created earlier to the room_channel. Usually, we would do this in the controller, but we don't have one. Rendering it in the model, view or the channel seems inappropriate. So where can we put it? Enter Rails Jobs.
This means that multiple jobs can be created and queued so that the server can execute as many at a time as its resources permit. The more processing power and memory the server has, the more jobs it can run simultaneously!
First, we'll create a after_create hook in the model. The after_create_commit hook means that a job will be executed once the message has been successfully saved into the database. perform_later means that the job will be executed as soon as the queue is empty.
The perform method of the job will receive the message, do its magic by rendering the message into the _message.html.erb partial, and broadcast directly from the job. Another new feature in Rails 5 is that you can render templates out of the scope of a controller, using the renderer of the ApplicationController . This nifty feature is used exactly for a case like this in which we do not have a MessageController defined but would like to use its templates.
By doing this, the '#messages' div will have the message in the template appended to the DOM. To clarify, data['message'] contains what was broadcast from the MessageBroadcastJob , i.e the rendered _message.html.erb partial with the message in it.
Now you can go ahead and start typing away in the text box and you'll see your messages appearing in the chat.
You can check out the code of the tutorial on Github.

African drum and dance troupe celebrates 33 years with show

MOUNT RAINIER – Explosive drum beats and energetic African dancing infused with African culture served as a fitting celebration of Black History Month for dance troupe Soul in Motion Players (SIMPINC).
On Feb. 25, at Joe's Movement Emporium in Mount Rainier, SIMPINC celebrated its 33rd anniversary with an entertaining and lively performance of this year's show entitled, "It's Our Time," which underscored the richness of African-American history and the African diaspora. Action-packed choreography impressed a crowd of African dance and drum enthusiasts of all ages who clapped and made complimentary remarks throughout the celebration.
The premiere of "Temple Memories," choreographed by Rosangela Silvestre from Brazil, added a spiritual layer to a memorable performance. Silvestre, a choreographer, instructor and dancer who travels outside of Brazil to teach, visited the area for two weeks to train SIMPINC's dancers and rehearse with them. Incorporating ancestral spirits and nature is a part of her technique, she said.
Michael Friend, the founder of SIMPINC, later told the packed house that a sudden wind sound circled the building when the guest choreographer introduced aspects of the African goddess of wind called Oya while teaching the dance.
"In doing these (dance) pieces, we really do have to acknowledge what it is that we are doing and what we are sharing," Friend said. "When we reach out to these gods, and these energies, it's a real thing."
Candace Mickens, a Hyattsville resident who was invited on stage to dance in heels, said African dance and music is a spiritual matter for her as well, in addition to it being an important part of African culture.
"It was completely unexpected to be pulled onstage. However, I do (African) dance. I do not perform, but I do honor the culture," Mickens said. "I think it is important that we see this (performance) because our traditions in Africa are still being carried, even when we don't recognize it. A lot of things that we have done with hip hop, R&B, all of our dances, all of our cultural activities, they really are still in place even though we don't necessarily make the connection, so I think it is important to see these types of things."
SIMPINC, which is a resident artist company at Joe's Movement Emporium, originally consisted of Friend and his sister Khandi (known as Mama Khandi). The pair began to perform together as the Soul In Motion Players in 1984. Their debut performance was held at Howard University, Friend's alma mater, during Black History Month.
Friend graduated from the university in 1980 with a Bachelor of Arts in Communications. However, the Philadelphia native started his music and acting career back in 1969. His artistic talents have led him to tour in West Africa and perform nationally. In 2011, as director of SIMPINC, Friend won the prestigious Montgomery County Executive's Community Award for Excellence in the Arts and Humanities. On March 19, 2016, Joe's also honored Friend as a "Mighty Joe" with the Creative Visionary Award. SIMPINC continues to grow under the direction of Friend, joined by Associate Director Pam Lassiter Rhone, who is a choreographer and dancer.
"Soul In Motion has been a part of our artist collective at Joe's for 18 plus years," Brooke Kidd, executive director and founder of Joe's, said while welcoming attendees to Saturday's performance. "Joe's is a collective of artists that use our space to rehearse and present, and (SIMPINC) is one of our anchor groups."
Information about SIMPINC can be found online at www.soulinmotionplayers.org. Joe's is a cultural arts hub offering programs and productions. More information is available via www.joesmovement.org.

Do suspected drunk drivers have to do blood tests in California?
On behalf of Kestenbaum Law Group posted in dui defense on Thursday, September 21, 2017.
In California, and any other state, the Fourth Amendment of the Constitution deems any search and seizure to be illegal unless there's probable cause for it to occur. When you're issued your driver's license in California, however, one of the documents you sign is a consent form to have your blood, urine or breath tested by police. This implied consent law is only enforceable if you're already been placed under arrest though.
On behalf of Kestenbaum Law Group posted in misdemeanor defense on Friday, September 15, 2017.
The terms larceny and theft are used interchangeably to refer to a crime in which an individual takes possession of a piece of property that's not their own. It's a criminal offense that can happen with or without the victim's knowledge of it. Under theft umbrella, an individual can blatantly steal a tangible item, take possession of a piece of real estate or money or allow services to be completed without paying for them.

He is believed to have fled the couple's home at 4900 Woodman Avenue after someone in the home called 911 to report that she had been assaulted with a deadly weapon.

Rooftop garden
A hidden gem in Amsterdam, a one of a kind building that stands apart. The redevelopment and architecture of this building personifies the meaning of OKU – the concept of space within and often hidden.
A PRIVATE PLACE IN A LIVELY WORLD
A space within
OKU Office is an exciting office redevelopment set close to the heart of Amsterdam, forming part of a broader scheme of development in the historic Fashion District of the city. The development creates a unique, intimate office space with a personal touch. A space that promotes creativity and interaction between people; a dynamic backdrop for business to flourish.
The area in and around Koningin Wilhelminaplein has long been a center for thriving commercial, industrial and creative industries since the early half of the 20th century.
Inspired by the past
The square itself is surrounded by buildings that can trace their roots and heritage to the development of the international fashion trade in particular. OKU Office was originally designed and realised in 1964 and named the Fashion House. Created by the architects A.G. and Jan Diederik Postma, renowned for both their craftsmanship and an innovative approach to building design. Their trademark became their ability to create balanced spatial structures with a keen sense of proportions. As a result, they became known for their design of factory and office buildings throughout the Netherlands in the 20th century.

Where old meets new
In OKU office, making the old future-proof is something that we aspire, in order that the history and the associated atmosphere are preserved. The past meets the future, creating a bridge between the old and the new.
OKU Office is characterised by its open, light space and connectivity between floors that bring harmony and cohesion; allowing contact between people where needed to share ideas but also allowing private space to work alone; the best of both worlds. The atrium at the center of the building enhances the light and openness of the floors and leads up to a thoughtful and unique rooftop garden.
Creating meaningful space
Design concept
OKU Office creates an interesting and varied environment that inspires, galvanises ideas and sparks the imagination. The consideration for different types of space needed in successful organisations serves an important purpose in bringing harmony, synergy and a dynamic element to the work environment.
The rooftop garden caps a complete environment for tenants and visitors alike to the building.
A hidden oasis
Its inclusion in the OKU Office concept is a thoughtful addition that provides an extension to the covered building space that can be used formally or informally, for business or leisure, as an inspiring extension of the usable office space for meetings or to provide a peaceful backdrop to get those creative ideas flowing.

Inmarsat and MCN/ADCC sign aviation safety services agreement
14 September 2016: Inmarsat has signed an agreement with Beijing Marine Communication & Navigation Company (MCN) and Aviation Data Communication Corporation (ADCC) to provide aviation safety services to Air Navigation Service Providers (ANSPs) and Operators.
Standing in the foreground from left to right: Otto Gergye, Inmarsat Aviation's Vice President of Airline Market Development, Song Zhen, MCN Vice President, and Zhu Yanbo, ADCC Vice President, are joined by colleagues to celebrate the signing of a MoU at ATC Global in China..
The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was unveiled at ATC Global 2016, which is taking place in Beijing this week, and outlines MCN/ADCC's intention to offer cockpit communication services, including Inmarsat's Classic Aero and next generation SwiftBroadband-Safety services, in the People's Republic of China (PRC).
Classic Aero is a high-quality voice and data safety service currently used by most of the world's airlines. It offers reliable and secure satellite surveillance and communications (FANS/ACARS) that meet International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) global flight tracking requirements.
Next-generation applications
SwiftBroadband-Safety utilises secure IP-based broadband capabilities that far exceed those of Classic Aero and other cabin connectivity solutions. It offers global, high speed, connectivity for cockpit and aircraft operations, with airlines benefitting from greater efficiency, reliability and capacity at a lower cost.
The solution is always on and always secure, delivering next-generation applications, including flight data streaming ('Black Box in the Cloud') and real-time Electronic Flight Bag applications such as graphical weather.
Inmarsat's partnership with MCN and ADCC is expected to be finalised later this year and fits with the announcement made earlier this year of plans for a MCN and Inmarsat joint venture to provide comprehensive aircraft cabin and connectivity solutions across the PRC.
Trusted provider
Otto Gergye, Inmarsat Aviation's Vice President of Airline Market Development, said: "Inmarsat is a trusted provider of aviation safety and operational services. More than 95% of the world's oceanic aircraft currently use our services for communication, navigation and surveillance and we are set to achieve an important paradigm shift in cockpit communications with our advanced and highly-secure new SwiftBroadband-Safety service.
"We look forward to serving China's aviation industry alongside MCN and ADCC. The country represents one of the largest growth markets in the world for aviation, with annual growth rates of more than 5% per year.
"Both in-service aircraft and passenger levels are expected to more than double in the next 20 years. Our partnerships with MCN and ADCC also reinforce Inmarsat's commitment to supporting China's One Belt One Road strategic vision."
Strong leaders
Song Zhen, Vice President of MCN, said: "MCN, ADCC and Inmarsat are strong leaders in their respective markets. This agreement is an important step in establishing a partnership that combines our individual strengths to provide China's aviation industry with market-leading connectivity services for optimised cockpit and aircraft operations."
Zhu Yanbo, Vice President of ADCC, said: "We are delighted to announce this agreement with MCN and Inmarsat.
"Together, we can support the growth and efficiency of China's aviation industry by providing airlines with access to the best safety communications solutions in the market today, with the well-established Classic Aero service, and with the advanced next-generation SwiftBroadband-Safety service."

Fans livid with call in final seconds as ASU loses to San Diego State
By: Shane Dale
kent horner
<p>(Getty Images)</p>
The Arizona State Sun Devils lost their first game of the season in excruciating fashion on Saturday night -- and fans were beside themselves with the way the final seconds of that defeat played out.
Trailing 28-14 late in the game, ASU looked to be well on its way to defeat vs. host San Diego State. But a Sun Devil touchdown with just under two minutes left, followed by a fumble recovery with 43 seconds to play, gave ASU life.
With 14 seconds left, QB Manny Wilkins threw a long pass from midfield that appeared to be caught by receiver Frank Darby at the 2-yard line, and SDSU's Trenton Thompson was called for a targeting penalty on the play for his hit on Darby. Targeting calls are automatically reviewed -- and upon review, the penalty was confirmed, but Darby's catch was ruled incomplete, as officials determined the ball had touched the ground.
ASU still had one last chance, but Wilkins' Hail Mary pass was knocked down in the end zone, and the No. 23 Devils went on to lose 28-21 for Herm Edwards' first defeat as ASU head coach.

— CBS Sports Network (@CBSSportsNet) September 16, 2018
Many Sun Devil fans on social media were irate by the late call, believing Darby's catch should have been upheld, and San Diego State shouldn't have essentially been rewarded for a dirty late-game hit.
"Incomplete? Like, huh? I thought they was really going over the targeting, that's all I was worried about," Darby said, per ArizonaSports.com. "They took my incomplete pass, like huh? … That hurt me. That hurt me, man. Now I feel like they was on (SDSU's) side, man. But I can only control what I can control."
"They look at everything. And that happens. That's the rule. They're gonna look at every facet of the play, and it just happened to be they said he didn't catch it. We thought he had caught it," Edwards said after the game, per Devils in Detail's Ethan Schmidt.
ASU did, however, squander opportunities to avoid the late-game drama. Leading 14-7 late in the first half, the Devils went for it on fourth and 1 rather than kicking a short field goal. San Diego State held ASU short, and went on to score a touchdown before halftime to tie the game. The Aztecs controlled the game with a strong rushing offense and outstanding defense in the second half, and the Devils didn't pick up a first down in the second half until late in the fourth quarter.
In any event, the road won't get any easier for the Sun Devils next week, as they'll head to Seattle to face No. 10 Washington next Saturday.


The chaotic early days of a new computing era is an extended period of product innovation and experimentation. But both the form and function of new products are still strongly influenced by the norms and transitional technologies of the waning era. New technologies are applied to new problems but often those new technologies are not yet mature enough to support early expectations. The optimal form-factors, conceptual metaphors, and usage idioms of the new era have yet to be fully explored and solidified. Looking back from the latter stages of a computing era, early era products appear crude and naive.
This is a great time to be a product innovator or an enthusiastic early adopter. But don't get too comfortable with the present. These are still the early days of the Ambient Computing Era and the big changes are likely still to come.

Q: javascript, jquery. won't fadeOut I am new to javascript and jquery, so, as a challenge, I am doing little game and ran into the problem today.
So, the code works like: there appears some text and after some time it needs to fadeOut, but it just won't fadeOut for me...
Here's my code:
var timeToStart = 3;
var timer = 0;

function count() {
    document.getElementById("gameStarter").innerHTML = timeToStart + " s";
    timeToStart = timeToStart - 1;
}

$("#start").click(function() {
    $("#gameStart").fadeIn(500, function() {
        timer = setInterval(count, 1000);
        setTimeout(function() {clearInterval(timer);}, 4000);
        if (timeToStart == 0) {
            $("#gameStart").fadeOut(500)
        }
    });
});

A: (gcampbell and Patrick Evans pointed this out in the comments. As they haven't posted an answer, I'll post a CW.)
Your code here
timer = setInterval(count, 1000);

setTimeout(function() {clearInterval(timer);}, 4000);

if (timeToStart == 0) {

  $("#gameStart").fadeOut(500)

}

only runs your if statement once, before everything is finished running. Right now it passes over it once, when timeToStart still equals 3. I recommend putting your if statement inside of your count() function like this
function count() {

  document.getElementById("gameStarter").innerHTML = timeToStart + " s";

  timeToStart = timeToStart - 1;

  if (timeToStart == 0) {

    $("#gameStart").fadeOut(500)

  }

}
so it checks it every time its run, instead of only once.
Live Example:

$("#gameStart").hide();

var timeToStart = 3;

var timer = 0;

function count() {

  document.getElementById("gameStarter").innerHTML = timeToStart + " s";

  timeToStart = timeToStart - 1;

    if (timeToStart == 0) {

      $("#gameStart").fadeOut(500)

    }
}

$("#start").click(function() {

  $("#gameStart").fadeIn(500, function() {

    timer = setInterval(count, 1000);

    setTimeout(function() {
      clearInterval(timer);
    }, 4000);

  });

});

LAKE LOUISE, Alberta (AP) Norway's Kjetil Jansrud had the fastest time Wednesday in the first World Cup downhill training run of the season.
The Olympic super-G champion finished in 1 minute, 54.21 seconds in falling snow. Canada's Manny Osborne-Paradis was second at 1:54.54, and Olympic downhill champion Matthias Mayer of Austria followed in 1:54.92.
The downhill race is Saturday and a super-G is set for Sunday.
Norway's Aksel Lund Svindal is not at Lake Louise after winning three straight super-Gs and the downhill two years ago. He injured his Achilles tendon playing soccer last month.

Pianist and captain of The Piano Boat, Masayuki Tayama, gives a guided tour of Beethoven's second piano sonata in C major, Op. 2 No. 3. In these seventeen videos, Masa explores background, style, interpretation, technical challenges and practice methods for each of the four movements.
Allegro con brio (1)
Adagio (1)
Allegro assai (1)
Masayuki Tayama
Masayuki Tayama has maintained a highly active schedule as both international recitalist and concerto soloist. Tayama's Wigmore Hall debut early in his career was a sell-out, and he continues to appear regularly at eminent London venues, including Queen Elizabeth Hall, Cadogan Hall and St. John Smith's Square. He has taught some of the country's aspiring pianists as tutor at Chetham's School of Music, and his teaching incorporates the method taught by Sumiko Mikimoto on tone production, muscle relaxation and training for pianists. In 2020, he was appointed Director of the Piano Teachers' Course UK, the country's leading professional development course for piano pedagogy. Tayama is also currently in the midst of a project to record Rachmaninov's complete works for solo piano.

Mr Stanley Awbery
Former MP for Bristol Central
As a result of COVID-19, some MPs have been less able to vote in Parliament, and this will be reflected in their voting record.
Show more detail
11th May to 2nd June 2020
All MPs could vote remotely through an online voting tool. Votes cast remotely are shown as normal on the TheyWorkForYou voting record.
2nd to 9th June 2020
The option of online voting was removed, and a number of MPs may have been unable to vote because they were not physically able to attend.
10th June 2020 onwards
The requirements on proxy voting were relaxed, allowing MPs to designate another MP to cast a vote on their behalf.
If an MP votes by proxy, it is effectively exactly the same as if they cast the vote in person and it shows up on their TheyWorkForYou voting record.
MPs are not required to designate a proxy, and may instead pair with an opposing MP to miss a vote. Parliament does not record when two MPs have come to a pairing arrangement, so on TheyWorkForYou, they will both appear to have been absent for the vote.
We will update this information if the situation changes. See more detail on votes during the COVID-19 period here.

Orders of the Day — Malta Independence Bill 23 Jul 1964
Is the hon. Gentleman aware that the large 150-ton crane in Malta has been taken to Gibraltar and that the large floating dock in Malta is now being advertised for sale by the Government?
I have read the Constitution that we are discussing. It affects the lives of 340,000 men and women in Malta. During my reading of it, I asked myself a number of questions such as, will this document bring greater happiness and harmony to the island of Malta? Will it bring the nationhood of Malta nearer than it is at present? Does it express the desires and aspirations of the people? Is it a...
And there were many people who wanted independence and who were afraid to vote for it because of the threats that were held over their heads. Our Government know the wishes of the Maltese people, but they are not prepared to act. Great Britain seems to want to give Malta independence with one hand and take it back with the other. Why is this? Are we afraid of a free Malta? Are we afraid of...

Yukon youth learn about sustainable development at the United Nations
Three Yukon youth are at the United Nations headquarters in New York this week for the 2016 Youth Assembly, where they're learning about the U.N.'s Sustainable Development Goals and how to act on them.
Maura Forrest
Leilani Sharp-Chan, Liam Campbell and Cole Sinclair are the Yukon's youth delegates to the assembly.
Sharp-Chan, 16, is a Tr'ondek Hwech'in citizen who now lives in Whitehorse and attends Vanier Catholic Secondary School.
"I'm keen on helping people and I think that this is definitely a foot in the door of learning ways to help people in my own community," she said.
The 17 Sustainable Development Goals were adopted by the United Nations during a summit in September 2015, as part of its 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. They were intended to build on the Millennium Development Goals, which laid out targets for fighting poverty that were supposed to be achieved by 2015.
The Sustainable Development Goals are broad and far-reaching. The first is to "end poverty in all its forms everywhere." Others include ending hunger, ensuring quality education for all, achieving gender equality, fighting climate change and using natural resources sustainably.
Sharp-Chan said she's especially interested in fighting poverty.
"We all see those people on the street and it's not a pleasant sight and it's not something that I want to see in my community," she said, adding that she's interested in charity work to raise money and help those in need.
At the United Nations this week, she's been attending workshops and presentations about health care, recycling and social justice.
And she's been meeting other young leaders from around the world, including Peru, the Philippines and India.
At a presentation on Thursday, she said, someone spoke about coming from a country torn apart by ISIS.
"Everyone just supported her and clapped," she said. "It was just incredible to see that support from everyone around the world."
This is an eye-opening experience for Sharp-Chan, who said she'd only ever left the Yukon to go on family vacations before now.
She said she attended a presentation about the sustainability of the oceans, and learned that some scientists believe seafood may disappear by 2048, in part because of pollution.
She wants to share what she's learned after she returns home.
"I definitely think educating people on little facts like that will open people's eyes and change what they're doing," she said.
Leonard Boniface, the coordinator for the Yukon youth delegates, said the purpose of the youth assembly is to empower young leaders so they can share their experience with their community.
"We are trying to make sure that this world can be a better place to live, and to eradicate poverty and hunger, to make sure that there is better education, there's health care for all," he said.
Boniface attended the 2015 Youth Assembly himself, and is now the president of Teenage Life and Young Adults International, a not-for profit society dedicated to poverty reduction and social change for young people.
He decided to seek out other youth who were interested in travelling to New York this year. He gave presentations about his experience in Whitehorse schools, and Sharp-Chan, Campbell and Sinclair eventually signed up to accompany him.
"One thing which I wanted to do more is to make sure that a lot of young people are getting these opportunities," he said.
Boniface said the Sustainable Development Goals are relevant in the Yukon, particularly those dealing with poverty and hunger.
"It is everywhere," he said. "But those things, people don't really talk too much about that."
Boniface hopes to take more young people to the United Nations in the future.
The youth delegates will arrive back in the Yukon on Monday, and they plan to give public presentations about their trip.
"It's an incredible experience," Sharp-Chan said.

Quillin and Jacobs to feature on Garcia v Judah
WBO middleweight champion Peter Quillin and former title challenger Danny Jacobs have both been pencilled in to appear on the upcoming Danny Garcia v Zab Judah undercard in Brooklyn, New York.
Golden Boy CEO Richard Schaefer confirmed the news to WBN today, along with dismissing any possibility of a rematch between Quillin and Frenchman Hassan N'Dam at the same venue where the two fought an entertaining battle last October.
The Barclays Center bill, which is topped by the grudge match between feuding light-welterweights Garcia and Judah, will be the second huge card to feature at the impressive venue since it's completion this year.
Also taking a slot on the undercard is the in-form Danny Jacobs, who has stopped two opponents since resuming his career following a life-threatening illness and will aim to improve his 24-1 record on the night.
Jacobs, 25, stopped Josh Luteran in just 73 seconds the last time he graced the arena and could potentially be in-line for another world title in 2013, against all the odds – if he can continue his progress on February 9.
Both fighters' opponents will be announced in the near future.

General Updates, News
To Our Clients and Partners
The premier has announced today that the current restrictions for COVID-19 will remain in place for businesses in Metro Melbourne. We wanted to take the opportunity to remind you that Buildspect is still open for business, and that much of the work we do is still able to be done while we are in Stage 4 restrictions.
Having taken advice from the MBAV and the HIA, we have implemented various safety measures and working from home arrangements for our staff which enable us to continue to operate at full capacity.
Specifically, we are able to proceed in inspecting issues in the following circumstances:
The site has not yet been handed over from the builder
The issues to be inspected relate to water ingress or cladding
The issues to be inspected relate to the safety of the occupants
In some cases, the issues to be inspected relate to common property for owners corporations
Please contact us directly to see if your specific issue can be dealt with during Stage 4.
Where we are unable to provide an inspection without breaching the Governments Stage 4 restrictions, we will prioritize your matter to be inspected as soon as possible when we enter Stage 3. In this case, the sooner we book an inspection the easier it will be to prevent any delays.
Buildspect Consulting is the largest dedicated Building Consulting and Building Expert Witness firm in Victoria and are committed to continue operating as much as possible over the course of the pandemic.

Read about the features of the ZFS file system. Discover how a ZFS-powered server supplying ZFS Cloud Storage, Mails & MySQL databases can help your site's performance.
ZFS is one of the most innovative file systems on the market and it outshines any other file system in terms of speed, efficiency and stability. The speed at which info is processed on a server employing ZFS is much higher, so not only will any websites hosted on the machine be read and executed faster, but also backups could be produced swifter and more frequently without affecting the overall performance. In addition, ZFS employs checksums - digital algorithms that are employed to recognize broken files. Each time the file system detects that there's a problem with a particular file, it fixes it by using a good copy from another hard drive within the RAID. Both the checks and the repairs are carried out in real time, so the information saved on ZFS-based machines will be safe at all times since it practically can't get corrupted. Another advantage of ZFS over other file systems is that there is no limit for the total amount of files that may be stored in a single account or on the server as a whole.
We're among the few web hosting providers that have employed the ZFS file system and this permits us to offer a superior service compared with what you'll be able to find available on the market. When you acquire a web hosting package, it shall be set up on our advanced cloud platform and all servers which comprise it work with ZFS and have a large amount of RAM and SSD drives that permit us tomake use of all features the file system delivers. Different from other firms, we have no limit for the number of files you could have and your content shall be safe at all times because of the data integrity that ZFS provides. If you delete something accidentally or a script update does not go as planned, you will be able to restore your Internet site with a few mouse clicks as the faster backup speed which the ZFS file system provides compared with other file systems permits us to create 4 backups of your entire account daily. For greater results, we employ ZFS on our database and e-mail servers too. As a consequence of the considerably faster general performance of ZFS and the fact that even if an entire web server fails for whatever reason, we could switch to a backup hosting server that shall have the latest copy of your website, you won't need to bother about speed, reliability or data integrity anymore.
When you go for one of our semi-dedicated hosting plans, you shall be able to use the whole potential of the ZFS file system because we have employed it on all servers that'll be used for the storage of any files, databases and e-mails that you have in your account. Our Hepsia Control Panel is designed to operate with it and you shall quickly see the advantages over the hosting services that competitors provide. Your websites shall load considerably quicker given that all our machines employ SSD drives and a lot of RAM to ensure that we can fully utilize the features that ZFS includes. Benefiting from the faster backup generation the latter provides, we will also keep 4 daily backups of your whole account regardless of how big it is and as a result of the compression rates which the file system offers, we are able to keep the backups much longer than other companies. Consequently, not only can we ensure that your websites shall work fast, but also that you will never have to worry about losing any file or email if you delete something unintentionally. The ZFS file system also enables us to switch to a redundant server that has the newest copy of your content in real time without any loss of content or service interruptions.


The beautiful gypsy, La Belle Otero, has an insatiable nature. The Queen of Elegance frequented kings and rich bankers from Paris to New York, St. Petersburg and Monte Carlo. She was the most spellbinding and the most ruthless courtesan of the Belle Époque. She devoted her life to dancing, men, precious stones, gambling parties and, above all, freedom.
La Belle Otero is an invitation to misbehave: licentious pepper, illicit absinthe, covetous violet and concupiscent sandalwood. It's evolution leaves a certain delectation on the skin.

Gaffney | Jane and John – we travel, Jeep and ranch!
We last left off with our report about Commissioning Week at the US Naval Academy and then were headed to Gaffney, SC for Freightliner factory service on our motorhome chassis. Then it was on to visit our good friends of many years, Les and Karen in Oriental, NC, then back home for about a month.
And of course, we can't forget servicing of the diesel generator [sigh…] We left quite a bit of money in Gaffney.
The visit with Les and Karen was fun as always and our few days passed too quickly. After leaving Oriental, we made a bee-line for home so John could tend to some ranch duties.
The idea of being back in Texas in the summer was for the primary purpose of spraying the prickly pear (using a restricted herbicide called Surmount, but John now has an applicator license) to kill it. Eventually. The herbicide takes two to three years to kill the pear (as it is called around here), it is a tenacious plant as you might imagine. Ranchers actually like pear since it makes great food for cattle (at least once you burn the spines off so the cattle can actually eat it) and it is very drought resistant. However if there is too much pear, it will decrease the amount grazing land available. We are on the verge of having too much pear, so it is important to control it now.
The tractor was finally back in business (took a few days for the seal to arrive), and so was the wind. He did manage to spot-spray quite a bit of pear from the mini-truck with a 30 gallon electric sprayer and a hand wand.
John has been wanting to add a roof-top air conditioner to the coach for a couple of years (our present AC is a 'basement' unit) for those moments in hot climates, so he finally accomplished that. It was a great excuse to to buy another toy, er, tool. He bought a used electric scissor lift (Genie GS-2032) from an Internet auction so he could safely lift the 95 pound unit to the roof of the coach.
July 5th we hit the road headed for the Winnebago factory in Forest City IA for a little more maintenance (are you spotting a pattern here?) and to attend the Winnebago Grand National Rally. Two days of maintenance and about four days of rally fun passed quickly. In the meantime our satellite Internet system was having problems. We got switched to another satellite which was a big improvement, but then had a different issue. John ended up switching satellite modems out (we had a spare) and that seemed to be the trick – we were on-line again.
Then we headed west to hookup with our RV buddies Bob & Judy in Colorado – we wanted to get relief from the heat and humidity. When we arrived at a little campground in eastern Colorado (Seibert) yesterday, John discovered the satellite TV in-motion dome (we have DirecTV while running down the road) has failed yet again. This is our 4th King Dome (from King Controls) and #4 has failed previously. The back TV is on a separate dish, so at least we have some satellite TV available.
Thanks again for traveling along with us, may God richly bless you and keep you safe.

These are such an easy little biscuit, as long as you chill them they will work perfectly every time.
Cream together the butter, sugar and orange zest together in the bowl of a food processor until light and fluffy.
Tip the mixture out on to a sheet of baking parchment. Place another layer of parchment on top and roll the mixture out to a thickness of 1cm. Pour the Demerara into a tray and roll the edges of the biscuits log into in to form a ring of sugar. Cut out into 6cm discs and place on the lined baking tray. Stud with 4/5 nut pieces per biscuit.
Chill until firm, for a minimum of 30 minutes.
Bake the biscuits on the middle shelf of the preheated oven for 14-18 minutes. Leave to cool on the baking tray for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
