Q: Remove constraints in sequelize migration I'm adding a unique constraint in a migration via the migrations.changeColumn function.
Adding the constraint works, but since you need to provide a "backwards migration", removing it the same way does not. It doesn't give any errors when migrating backwards, but again applying the forward migration results in Possibly unhandled SequelizeDatabaseError: relation "myAttribute_unique_idx" already exists.
(The used database is postgres)
module.exports = {
  up: function (migration, DataTypes, done) {
    migration.changeColumn(
      'Users',
      'myAttribute',
      {
        type: DataTypes.STRING,
        unique: true                 // ADDING constraint works
      }
    ).done(done);
  },

  down: function (migration, DataTypes, done) {
    migration.changeColumn(
      'Users',
      'myAttribute',
      {
        type: DataTypes.STRING,
        unique: false                // REMOVING does not
      }
    ).done(done);
  }
};

I also tried using removeIndex
migration.removeIndex('Users', 'myAttribute_unique_idx').done(done);

But it gives the following error when reverting the migration:
Possibly unhandled SequelizeDatabaseError: cannot drop index "myAttribute_unique_idx" because constraint myAttribute_unique_idx on table "Users" requires it

A: If you want to remove the index you should use:
down: function (migration, DataTypes) {
    return migration.removeIndex('Users', 'myAttribute_unique_idx');
}

The return is used to use promise style instead of callbacks. This is recommended by sequelize.
It would also be good to handle the creation of the index on your own as descripted here:
http://sequelize.readthedocs.org/en/latest/docs/migrations/#addindextablename-attributes-options

A: As of 2017 with Sequelize 4.4.2, we can remove constraints with queryInterface API:
queryInterface.removeConstraint(tableName, constraintName)
Documentation is here.

A: Unfortunately sequelize doesn't have a builtin migration method to remove constraint. That is why before removing key you need to make a raw query.
down: function (migration, DataTypes) {
  migration.sequelize.query(
    'ALTER TABLE Users DROP CONSTRAINT myAttribute_unique_idx;'
  );
  migration.removeIndex('Users', 'myAttribute_unique_idx');

  return;
}

A: Sequelize has removeConstraint() method if you want to remove the constraint.
So you can have use something like this:
return queryInterface.removeConstraint('users', 'users_userId_key', {})
where users is my Table Name and users_userId_key is index or constraint name which is generally of the form attributename_unique_key if you have unique constraint which you wanna remove(say).

A: Just simply do this:
 await queryInterface.removeConstraint("Users","myAttribute" )

A: You should add both an up and a down migration so removeConstraint does not error when moving up and down the migrations.
Up and down migration:
module.exports = {
  up: async (queryInterface, Sequelize) => {
    //remove constraint
    queryInterface.removeConstraint("projects", "projects_action_id_fkey");
  },

  down: async (queryInterface, Sequelize) => {
    //re-add a reference example with a raw query
    queryInterface.sequelize.query(
    `
      ALTER TABLE IF EXISTS public.action_executions
      ADD CONSTRAINT projects_action_id_fkey FOREIGN KEY (action_id)
      REFERENCES public.actions (id) MATCH SIMPLE
      ON UPDATE NO ACTION
      ON DELETE NO ACTION;
    `
    );
  }
};

When organizing their plan for upcoming Health Care Fairs, Geisinger decided on a rather "healthy" presence. ExpoDisplays MultiQuad® was a perfect fit for a booth that needed to be reconfigured for multiple shows.
At a recent fair in Bloomsburg, Pennslyvania, Geisinger had interactive activities for children, administered flu shots, and measured BMI.
Using what would be traditionally considered a conference room feature of MultiQuad®, Geisinger instead used this private area as a lactation station and baby changing area!
In a show with over 1000 booths, the Geisinger booth won the Director's Award for Best Presentation.
You could get started on a design like this in as little as 15 minutes.

Hercules and Antaeus (1690),
by Gregorio de Ferrari
Wikipedia (public domain)
See Labor No. 10
Third of a series. Here are the first and second posts:
In the previous post, I discussed how Heracles was forced to perform twelve labors as a kind of penance for killing his own children under the influence of madness. My Heracles stand-in, the Shshi (intelligent termite) Champion Ki'shto'ba Huge-Head, also suffers an episode of madness, but the onus of performing Twelve Wonders comes to it for a different reason, which you can learn about if you read v.1 of the Ki'shto'ba series, The War of the Stolen Mother.
Following up on the previous post, I'll list the final six Labors of Heracles and comment on whether and how I used them in my series. Not all of them are suitable for adaptation to a termite culture.
7. The Cretan Bull. A fire-breathing bull was ravaging Crete (possibly the one which sired the Minotaur) and Heracles was constrained to capture it. He took it back to Eurystheus, who set it free because Hera wouldn't accept it as a sacrifice (gave too much glory to Heracles).
I didn't use this Labor at all.
8. The Mares of Diomedes. Possibly based on a coronation rite in which women in horse masks killed and consumed the sacred king at the end of his reign (see Robert Graves, Greek Myths, under The Eighth Labor). The savage mares of Diomedes were carnivores and Hercules fed Diomedes himself to them, then captured them while their appetite was sated. Prettty gruesome tale.
I didn't use this one, either.
9. Hippolyte's Girdle. This is a story of the Amazons; Heracles had to bring back the girdle of Ares, which was worn by the Amazon Queen Hippolyte, as a gift to Eurystheus's daughter.
While this makes a good story, it has absolutely no bearing on Ki'shto'ba's quest. However, in v.6 of the Ki'shto'ba series you will encounter a strangely aberrant termite society consisting entirely of female Alates. I'll talk about that in a later post.
10. The Cattle of Geryon. This is a vast Quest epic in itself, with Heracles travelling into the world's Far West to steal the cattle of a monstrous creature named Geryon. Cattle raiding is rampant in the culture of ancient peoples, including the Celts; men bought their brides at the price of so many cattle. Once Heracles gets the cattle, he ends up herding them all over Africa and Europe, having adventures all the while. It was during this journey that Heracles is said to have opened up the entrance to the Mediterranean (the Pillars of Hercules, or Gibraltar). He also encountered Antaeus in Libya.
I made some use of details from this myth. First, I endowed the termite planet with a long and narrow inland sea much like the Mediterranean. Ultimately the Companions will reach the outlet of that sea (in the seventh volume, which I haven't written yet).
And I made intense use of the myth of Antaeus. I'm going to quote Wikipedia here: "[Antaeus] would challenge all passers-by to wrestling matches, kill them, and collect their skulls, so that he might one day build out of them a temple to his father Poseidon. He was indefatigably strong as long as he remained in contact with the ground (his mother earth), but once lifted into the air he became as weak as other men." You'll have to read v.4: Beneath the Mountain of Heavy Fear, if you want to know how I applied this.
11. The Apples of the Hesperides. Heracles had to go on a second journey to bring back fruit from Hera's golden-apple tree, which was tended by the Hesperides and located either at Mount Atlas or on an island again in the Far West of Earth (undoubtedly the Apple Island of Robert Graves's beautiful poetry). Atlas lived there as well and the Hesperides were his daughters, conceived before he was set the task of holding the celestial globe on his shoulders. Hera suspected the Hesperides of stealing some of the apples, so she set a dragon-like creature called Ladon to twine around the Tree and guard it. Altas also built a great wall around the garden where the tree stood, to protect it from a prophecy that a son of Zeus would steal all the golden apples. Heracles arrived, and after killing Ladon with an arrow over the wall, he offered to relieve Atlas of his burden for a brief time if he would fetch the apples for him. Atlas agreed, but upon returning he told Heracles he would take the apples to Eurystheus himself. Heracles told him he would agree to that if Atlas would allow him one moment to put a pad on his head. Atlas (apparently not too sharp-witted) complied, resuming the globe, whereupon Heracles scurried off with the plunder.
It's also said that it was during this journey instead of in the cattle-raiding episode that Heracles encountered Antaeus.
I used elements of the golden-apple myth, but I twisted them around to my own purposes. The Quest of Is'a'pai'a of the Gwai'sho'zei (Water People) involves finding the Golden Fungus, which fills the role of the Golden Fleece (the termite planet has no mammals; furthermore fungus is a chief foodstuff of all Shshi, even the woodeaters). But the Golden Fungus can also stand for the Golden Apples; both are fruit of a type. And the fungus grows on the root of a primordial tree (the World Tree, in effect) and I set a Ladon-stand-in to guard it: Yak'roit'zei, the Coiling Guardian. It isn't a dragon and it doesn't have a hundred heads, but it's equally fierce and dangerous. Think ... giant centipede! Ki'shto'ba doesn't kill Yak'roit'zei, however, and the Golden Fungus proves elusive. To find out what does happen, you'll have to wait until v.4 is published.
I didn't include Atlas in my adaptation. It's just a little too incredible to conceive of Ki'shto'ba holding up the world!
12. The Capture of Cerberus. The very last Labor contains the requisite visit of the epic hero to the Underworld, the Place of the Dead. Heracles was charged to bring the dog Cerberus up from Tartarus. During this daunting task, Heracles met the dead hero Meleager, who agreed to allow Heracles to marry his sisten Deianeira. I mention this only because of the later repercussions in Heracles's life. Heracles had many adventures in the Underworld, but ultimately Hades permitted him to capture Cerberus if he could do it without using weapons. Here is a pertinent quotation from Robert Graves's Greek Myths (Section 134, The Twelfth Labor: The Capture of Cerberus):
"Heracles ... resolutely gripped him by the throat -- from which rose three heads, each maned with serpents. The barbed tail flew up to strike, but Heracles, protected by the lion pelt, did not relax his grip until Cerberus choked and yielded."
Again, I must remark that the termite planet doesn't have any mammals, so I had to make my Cerberus character a reptile. And Ki'shto'ba is great at wrestling. Furthermore, he doesn't need a lion pelt, since Shshi Warriors are protected by their own very thick chitin shell!
I'll have more to say about the journey into the Underworld in my next Hercules post. Meanwhile, here is my drawing of Ki'shto'ba contending with No'dai'dru'zei, the Monster of the Pit.

Great brands doing great things with Dokobit
Learn how our most successful customers are building digital processes with Dokobit.
Maxima LT is the largest Lithuanian capital company, as well as one of the largest taxpayers and the largest employer in the country. More than 400 000 customers visit the Maxima stores operating in Lithuania every day, where there are about 250 stores located over the country.
"Signing documents with an e-signature using Dokobit is a vital step while digitising everyday work processes. It is crucial for optimising business processes and reducing the environmental impact."
Giedrė Frolenkienė, Director of Legal Services Department at Maxima LT
At the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, when part of the activities (primarily administrative work) had to be carried out remotely, the mission to "work in an orderly and organised manner", allowing the exchange of original documents, was practically impossible.
Free e-signing platforms did not ensure all company documents were all in one place. This is crucial for any company, regardless of its size.
Before that, signing contracts using physical signatures was a process that took too much time. Also, it was not uncommon to have to hunt for contracts with other "on hold" parties.
One of the main criteria that helped Maxima LT choose Dokobit as their partners were reliability, ease of use, and price.
Currently, a substantial part of the company's documents are signed using Dokobit platform, i.e., all company contracts (including amendments, additional agreements, etc.) – both with natural and legal persons. Dokobit is also used to sign letters sent on behalf of the company, i.e., for such documents that require an official signature of the company representative, e.g., court documents, when communicating with state institutions (VMI, "Sodra", etc.).
After using Dokobit solutions, the workload and the amount of paper used for the administration of contracts at Maxima LT decreased. Not only that, the process of signing and storing contracts has become noticeably faster.

Some Apple iPods Infected With Windows Virus
By CIO Staff
CIO Oct 18, 2006 8:00 am PDT
Salvatore Gerace
Apple Computer has warned Windows users that a very small number (less than 1 percent) of its latest iPod (with video) models are affected by a virus.
Just 25 reports concerning this problem have been received by Apple so far. The problem does not affect data on infected PCs.
Apple's technical support website warns: "We recently discovered that a small number—less than 1 percent—of the video iPods available for purchase after September 12 left our contract manufacturer carrying the Windows RavMonE.exe virus."
"The iPod nano, iPod shuffle and Mac OS X are not affected, and all video iPods now shipping are virus free," company Vice President Greg Joswiak said on Tuesday night.
Joswiak explained how the virus infected these small number of iPods: "As you're probably aware, the majority of iPod sales are made to Windows users, so we have some Windows terminals on our production line," he explained.
"We discovered that one of these computers was propagating this virus; fortunately less than 1 percent of video iPods were exposed to this Windows virus. The problem has been corrected, and all the video iPods we are now selling are free of the virus," he reassured customers.
The Windows machine that did the damage is used as part of the quality control process, "a final test station," Joswiak explained.
"It appears this virus propagates to a PC when an iPod containing the virus is double-clicked in Windows Explorer. Technically it's a worm. It does not spread through a network."
Asked if this implied that someone at the production center had infected the machine, Joswiak said: "We're not getting into details. There was an exception in the process that we have now remedied.
"We believe we have a process to make sure this doesn't happen again," he added.
"It's the first time this has happened to us, and we wanted to be very open and up-front about what's happening. We first learned of this a week ago," he added. "Since then we have been working around the clock on this, discovering the root cause."
"We understand that this virus/worm doesn't do any data damage to the Windows machine, but that it can lower the security settings of an infected PC," he explained. "It should be removed from any infected machine."
The virus propagates itself using mass storage devices. It affects only Windows computers, and up-to-date antivirus software "which is included with most Windows computers should detect and remove it," the company explained.
"As you might imagine, we are upset at Windows for not being more hardy against such viruses, and even more upset with ourselves for not catching it," Joswiak said.
In the event that affected users lack antivirus software, Apple has published links for potentially affected users that will allow them to download trial versions of antivirus software packages that detect and destroy the worm.
After installing an antivirus application, users should attach their iPod to their Windows computer and run the antivirus program. Affected systems will trigger an alert, and the antivirus software will quarantine or remove the malware. Users should then run the "Restore" function in iTunes 7 to restore the software on the affected iPod.
Because it is a mass storage virus, users are also advised to scan all their existing external storage solutions, including but not limited to hard drives, digital camera memory cards and flash drives, for the virus.
Apple isn't the only MP3 player manufacturer to have been hit by a virus. Fast-food vendor McDonald's last week had to tell 10,000 of its customers that thousands of MP3 players given away in Japan as part of a special promotion had been infected by a different virus.
The burger chain's virus was far worse for a Windows user's health than any Apple. It appears the McDonald's virus (the WORM_QQPASS.ADH) could infect PCs and steal personal data.

Q: Reading from file and writing to a temporary .txt file in C#? I know there are a lot of similar topics on this website, but I think that I went through most of them and still cannot debug this piece of code. I really need to get this working. I'm newbie to C# and programming. Tho, I did this same assignment in Java, but for some reason, I can't make it work here. If some could please pitch in...
So I have some objects, which I am keeping in .txt file, one line = data for one object. First data of the line is an Id of an object, primary key basically. Right now I am implementing CRUD operations, that is, an Update. This edit function is supposed to contribute to that functionality.
If a user edit some of the selected object properties, that change needs to be reflected in .txt file. So, I will go through every object/line in the file, write them to some temp.txt file, once I hit object which has same Id as the passed object o, that means I need to write that edited object to temp.txt. After that I need to rename temp.txt to original file and delete temp.txt.
I have tried bunch of options and combinations, but none worked.
I really make sure that GetTxtPath returns correct absolute path from within my project.
Version 1:
public static void edit(Transformable o, string fileName)
{
    try
    {
        if (!File.Exists(FileUtils.GetTxtPath("temp.txt")))
        {
            File.Create(FileUtils.GetTxtPath("temp.txt"));
        }
        using (FileStream stream = File.OpenRead(FileUtils.GetTxtPath(fileName)))
        using (FileStream writeStream = File.OpenWrite(FileUtils.GetTxtPath("temp.txt")))
        {
            StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(stream);
            StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter(writeStream);

            String line;
            while ((line = reader.ReadLine()) != null)
            {
                if (!line.Equals(""))
                {
                    if (o.GetId() == getIdFromString(line))
                    {
                        writer.Write(o.WriteToFile());
                    }
                    else
                    {
                        writer.Write(line + "\n");
                    }
                }
                else
                {
                    continue;
                }
            }
        }
    }
    catch (FileNotFoundException e)
    {
        Console.WriteLine($"The file was not found: '{e}'");
    }
    catch (DirectoryNotFoundException e)
    {
        Console.WriteLine($"The directory was not found: '{e}'");
    }
    catch (IOException e)
    {
        Console.WriteLine($"The file could not be opened: '{e}'");
    }
}

public static string GetTxtPath(string fileName)
{
    var startDirectory =
    Directory.GetParent(Directory.GetCurrentDirectory()).Parent.Parent.FullName;

    var absPath = startDirectory + @"\data\" + fileName;
    return absPath;
}

private static int getIdFromString(string line)
{
    return Int32.Parse(line.Split('|')[0]);
}

Version 2:
public static void Edit(Transformable o, string fileName)
{
    try
    {
        if (!File.Exists(FileUtils.GetTxtPath("temp.txt")))
        {
            File.Create(FileUtils.GetTxtPath("temp.txt"));

File.OpenWrite method opens an existing or creates a new file for writing. So there is no need to manually check and create the file.
You have wrapped FileStreams in a using statement quite correctly. However, StreamReader and StreamWriter also must to be released after use.
I renamed some methods, giving them names that conform to the naming rules in C#: Edit, GetId, ToWriteableString.
The else branch with the continue statement is not needed.
In the end, just use the File.Delete and File.Move methods.
Note: the int.Parse method can throw exceptions that also need to be handled.

Heritage adds character and distinctiveness to an area - two main ingredients in every prosperous community.
The Province of Ontario recognizes the importance of local heritage. In fact, the Ontario Heritage Act requires us to keep a register of property that is deemed of cultural heritage value or interest.
Vacant buildings and structures on properties listed on the Municipal Heritage Register are subject to the heritage provisions of the property standards bylaw.
In Kitchener, we currently have 86 individually designated heritage properties. Each one is designated under Part IV (individual) of the Ontario Heritage Act and has been placed on the Municipal Heritage Register.
When determining whether a property should be designated, we consult with the Heritage Kitchener committee and the property owner. Chosen properties are subject to a designating bylaw, identifying the reasons for designation and a list of the property's heritage attributes.
The owner of a property designated under the Ontario Heritage Act may require a heritage permit to make changes to either the building or the property in question.
An index of local properties designated under Part IV (individual) of the Ontario Heritage Act is available. However, we reserve the right to change or modify the register without notice.
impose restrictions or obligations related to obtaining heritage approvals. This means property owners are not subject to the heritage-permit process or a Heritage Kitchener review; and they are not required to obtain city council approval to make alterations to their properties.
City council considers listing the property on the register.
The municipality would have more time to process demolition applications made under the Ontario Building Code. Typically, a demolition application must be processed within 10 business days; in the case of a non-designated property, the municipality would have 60 business days - a sufficient amount of time to determine if the property should be protected under the Ontario Heritage Act. If protection is deemed to be warranted, a separate formal legal process would be required.
Planning Act applications, such as site plans and plans of subdivision, may need to be accompanied by a heritage impact assessment and/or conservation plan.
An index of non-designated properties of cultural heritage value or interest is available. However, we reserve the right to change or modify the register without notice.
For more information on how properties are evaluated and placed on the Municipal Heritage Register, check out our heritage brochure.
For confirmation of a property's heritage status or for more information, please contact our heritage planner at 519-741-2200, ext. 7839.

Q: Formal Definition of closed subscheme Let $(X,\mathcal{O}_{X})$ be scheme let Z be a closed subset of X ,i have read many definitions of closed subscheme in many books like in Hartshorne , Liu,Qing ,, Ulrich Görtz but i could 't understand the definition because In Hartshorne version he defined closed subscheme as equivalnce classes of closed immersion and he did't talk about what $\mathcal{O}_{Z }$, in the version of Ulrich Görtz  the definition involve the sheaf of ideals $\mathcal{J}$ but he did't mention the equaivalance classes part
1)I am looking for a  definition of the closed subscheme espically
if Z is closed subset of X  and $U$ is a subset of Z what is $\mathcal{O}_{Z}(U)$?
Edit i have read this construction of the structure sheaf on Z and
i have two question ,
Let Z is a closed subset of X  with the inclusion $i$ : $Z \rightarrow X $,then
$i_{*}\mathcal{O}_{Z} $ is ismorphic to $\mathcal{O}_{X}/ \mathcal{J} $where $\mathcal{J}$ is some sheaf of ideals ,
2)is $ \mathcal{J} $ the kernel of the hmomorphism of modules
$\mathcal{O}_{X} \rightarrow i_{*}\mathcal{O}_{Z}$ ?
Then the subscheme is given by $(Z,\mathcal{O}_{Z})= (supp(\mathcal{O}_{Z}/\mathcal{J},\mathcal{O}_{Z}/\mathcal{J})$
3)Why is $Z=supp(\mathcal{O}_{Z}/\mathcal{J})$?

A: The answer to your first two questions is yes, For the last question I think it is important to understand the affine case first, the general case is just using sheaf language to glue these affine cases.
In the affine case when you have an ideal $J$ you can naturally define a close subset $V(J)=\{P|J\subset P\}$ which as a topological space is equal to $Spec A/J$ It is also equal to the support of the A-module $A/J$ which by definition is the set of prime ideals $P$ such that $(A/J)_P\not =0$ if you write definition you see that this is equivalent to the condition $J\subset P$.
So it is natural to call the map $Spec\, A/J\to Spec\, A$ a closed immersion and it has all good properties you want, then using the sheaf language you can state the general case just replace $A$ by $O_X$ and ideal $J$ by a sheaf of ideals, and if you want to prove something you can reduce to the case of affines, for example, to compute the support you can choose an affine cover and compute the support locally.

PNE U18s 2-2 Accrington Stanley U18s
Academy boss Nick Harrison labelled yesterday's 2-2 draw against Accrington Stanley as the best performance from his side this season.
North End dominated the game for large spells of the game - and looked as though they were getting their just rewards when Akwasi Kwateng and Melle Meulensteen's second-half goals gave the U18s a two goal cushion with 20 minutes to go.
But Stanley responded with two goals in five minutes to snatch a share of the spoils, leaving North End leaving the field feeling short-changed after the final whistle.
The U18s boss however was more upbeat, calling the performance the best yet since kicking the 2015/16 campaign off last month.
He said: "I thought the performance was excellent, and probably our best performance of the season in terms of the league games we've played in and the result didn't reflect the score.
"Today, we were really pleased with how the players performed, but what we're disappointed about is conceding two very sloppy goals from our point of view which the players on the pitch should do better with."
The only thing lacking from North End's first-half was goals - PNE asserted their dominance as early as the 12th minute when Josh Earl's in-swinging cross was met by Jonathan Lunney, but his placed volley flew over.
Earl down the left-hand side was proving a useful outlet – again driving to the byline , but this time the youngster cut inside before firing a shot across goal that flashed just wide, before shortly after bending a first-time effort just over from a more central position.
Lunney also gave Stanley something to think about going in at half-time with a low shot, that forced 'keeper Christian Evans into action once again to save.
North End didn't have it all their own way in the first-half – Mathew Hudson, playing his first game since coming back from injury produced a terrific save to tip Tyler Scarth's close-range strike over the bar.
15 minutes into the second-half, the goal finally came – Kwateng, who came up from the back for the corner getting the final touch of a goalmouth scramble to bundle the ball home, to score his first competitive goal since signing a two-year scholarship with North End this summer.
As scruffy as the first goal was, the second goal was as delightful as you like – superb build-up play that would have had Harrison pleased as punch from the touchline concluded with Meulensteen delivering a sweet shot that flew into the corner.
"We're not bothered about how we score – the first was a scruffy goal but it's gone into the back of the net, and the second goal is excellent play and a great finish by Melle," told the academy boss.
"They played the game in the right way today - they attacked, and when we didn't have the ball they defended well.
"It was just for the two incidents they scored we switched off so that's what's disappointing but thinking about all of the positives, we've had more chances then we have done, we kept the ball better, switched the play better, and put the balls in the box better, so we're really pleased.
"They've got to build on the performance they've put in, because it was very good - I'd like to see the stats because it's probably the most chances we've created in one game all season.
"We probably could have scored more goals, but at 2-0 we should have done enough to win the game, but we switched off twice with two throw-ins and obviously we've conceded the two goals so I think the players have got to learn that they've got to carry on with the performances as they did, just not switch off and concentrate a bit more when they've got the ball, especially into the last 10 minutes of the game."
Collectively and individually, there were a number of performances yesterday to be pleased with going into the away game against Bury next Saturday, and Harrison singled out the performance of James Boyd at the heart of central midfield.
He added: "I thought James [Boyd] was outstanding today, and he didn't put a foot wrong all game.
"I thought Mathew Hudson also did well on his return to action - Callum Roberts has gone home ill over the week so that's disappointing for him, but it's gave Mathew the opportunity to play.
"He got the all-clear on Wednesday from the surgeon, so it was a great first game for him - I'm sure he's going to be disappointed to have conceded two goals but that's something we can build on, and it's good to get him back."

Iran nuclear deal: Can US be trusted?
"The Islamic Republic of Iran has never been and will never be a threat to the [Middle East] region and neighboring countries, but it will react with full strength against any aggression."
—Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei
Iran has not acted aggressively against its neighbors since Nader Shah invaded India in 1738. Yet US politicians, military leaders and the media persist in portraying Iran as an untrustworthy menace threatening the entire civilized world.
Given that the US military now appears to have a Zionist in charge as its new defense secretary and the relentless threatening rhetoric, we must ask, if a final nuclear deal with Iran is sealed, can the US be trusted to abide by its provisions? Iran's Leader Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei has justifiable reservations.
In a speech on April 19, 2015 before a group of Iran's high-level military commanders, Ayatollah Khamenei correctly observed, "Today, the biggest threats to the world and to the region are the US and the Zionist regime, which intervene in any spot they deem necessary and trigger killings, without any consideration and without conforming to religious and conscientious obligations and criteria." The veracity of the Leader's words are demonstrated by the US support for the despotic Saudi regime's bombing campaign against Yemen, which has targeted refugee camps, hospitals, schools, urban neighborhoods and soccer stadiums, resulting in the slaughter of hundreds of innocent people. Similarly, the Israeli entity supports its newfound Saudi ally in its latest aggression in Yemen. Of course, the occupant of the Oval Office whose middle name is Hussein has assured the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques of "US full commitment to sustain Saudi Arabia's capabilities to defend itself," in the same way that as he has reaffirmed "Israel's right to defend itself" while the Zionist regime was systematically slaughtering innocent, unarmed civilians in Gaza with US-supplied weapons. How could the Leader of Iran trust a nation whose president had stood in Zionist leader Netanyahu's residence in occupied Al-Quds just a year earlier and blatantly threatening the Islamic Republic avowed, "All options are on the table. We will do what is necessary to prevent Iran from getting the world's worst weapons."
The incessant barrage of US threats against Iran appears to be the byproduct of a thorough Israeli penetration into the highest levels of the American government, resulting in a convergence of neocon Iranophobic dogma and Zionist security paranoia. That Congress is an "Israeli-occupied territory" has been known for years, but now Tel Aviv's tentacles extend to the US military. For verification, one need look no further than Obama's new war chief, Ashton Carter, who during a 2013 visit to the Israeli entity remarked, "Protecting America means protecting Israel, and that's why we're here in the first place." According to the Zionist organization United with Israel, Carter "is regarded by Israel as an honest and perceptive friend in the uppermost echelons of the Pentagon."
Apparently, Carter not only believes that Iran has a nuclear weapons program, but also appears intent on conflating the two remaining independent members of George W. Bush's infamous Axis of Evil. "With respect to the nuclear weapons situation in Iran … those negotiations that are being conducted by us and our P5-plus-1 partners with the Iranians have the objective of arresting the North Korean — I mean, not North Korean, excuse me, the Iranian nuclear program," averred the US defense secretary during a recent Pentagon press conference. Perhaps the mistake reflects Carter's long standing desire to bomb North Korea's nuclear facilities, which in 2006 he viewed as "a prudent policy."
While the slip of the tongue is somewhat amusing, Carter's obsession with security is alarming but in perfect alignment with Zionist interests. In a 1998 paper coauthored with John Deutch and Philip Zelikow, Carter expounded his thesis that nations should be "obliged to reassure other states that are worried and to take reasonable measures to prove they are not secretly developing weapons of mass destruction. Failure to supply such proof or to prosecute the criminals living within their borders should entitle worried nations to take all necessary actions for their self-defense." Hence Carter's philosophy meshes perfectly with Netanyahu's ceaseless cacophony of concerns over an imagined "Iranian nuclear threat." Furthermore, any nuclear agreement with Iran would represent a concrete implementation of Carter's view that the burden of proof of compliance rests on the suspect nation. From this it follows rather quickly that suspicion alone is sufficient to justify military threats. Of course that Carter would not apply his burden of proof on the suspect nation doctrine to the Israeli entity goes without saying.
During the same meeting with military commanders, Ayatollah Khamenei stated, "After a [short] period of silence by the opposite side, one of their officials recently spoke once more of options on the table." The Leader was referring to US joint chiefs of staff chairman Martin Dempsey, who, in a press conference emphasized, "The military option that I owe the president to both encourage the diplomatic solution and, if the diplomacy fails, to ensure that Iran doesn't achieve a nuclear weapon, is intact." This same threat was voiced one day before the detailed nuclear outline was signed in Lausanne, Switzerland when Obama's press secretary, Josh Earnest, after being asked by a reporter what if the negotiations fail, emphasized, "There is, of course, a military option that's sitting on the table."
And the military option is on a table that has an expensive nuclear centerpiece called the B61-12. A so-called LEP (life extension program) of earlier B61 designs, the B61-12 is a nuclear smart bomb specifically designed as an earth penetrator. According to Hans M. Kristensen, Director of the Nuclear Information Project of the Federation of American Scientists, the B61-12 is a new nuclear weapon with improved military capabilities, and is "the most expensive nuclear bomb project ever." The development of this B61-12 smart nuke places the US squarely in violation not only of its own 2010 Nuclear Posture Review, but also Article 6 of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, which commits the US to "pursue negotiations in good faith on effective measures relating to cessation of the nuclear arms race at an early date and to nuclear disarmament, and on a treaty on general and complete disarmament under strict and effective international control."
And as if the B61-12 nuclear "device" were not enough, the Pentagon has unveiled the improved Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP) GBU-57A-B, a 30,000 lb. conventional-explosive bomb speci
fically designed to target Iran's hardened nuclear facilities. Why spend obscene sums of money to develop bigger and better bunker buster bombs if indeed the Washington regime seeks peaceful relations? The answer seems obvious that Washington has no such peaceful intentions. By accusing Iran's civil nuclear program of having a weapons dimension while simultaneously providing political cover for the Israeli entity's very real nuclear weapons program, US leaders are obviously talking out of both sides of their imperial mouths.
As insane as this may sound, Andrew C. Weber, US assistant secretary of defense for nuclear, chemical and biological defense programs, insists that "maintaining a safe, secure and effective nuclear stockpile is critical to deterring potential adversaries and assuring US allies and partners." Perhaps Ayatollah Khamenei had this in mind in addition to Dempsey's recent threat when he commented, "On the one hand, they bluff this way and on the other, they say the Islamic Republic of Iran should stop its defense progress, which is an idiotic remark." Undeniably it is idiotic, and in view of these stark realities, Iran would be foolish not to deploy the S-300 missile air defense systems against the American aggressor. The Leader wisely instructed all of Iran's Defense Forces to "boost their military and defense preparedness as well as their combat readiness" in his April 19 speech before Iranian military leaders.
Nevertheless, the United States, Russia, the United Kingdom, France, China, India, North Korea, Pakistan, and the Israeli entity all cling tenaciously to their nuclear weapons. Despite hopes for disarmament, counting warheads in storage and awaiting dismantlement, there are some 15,700 nuclear weapons in the world. Evidently, the goal here is not the complete elimination of nuclear weapons or else why would the US create a new nuclear weapon with new capabilities? Moreover, by ignoring the Israeli entity's nuclear arsenal, the US has undermined its own credibility in attempting to police the proliferation of nuclear weapons.
"Over the past 250 years, Iran has not waged a single war of aggression against its neighbors, nor has it initiated any hostilities," political scientist and former advisor to Iran's nuclear negotiating team Dr. Kaveh L. Afrasiabi reminds us. Without a single nuclear weapon and no intention of acquiring one, Iran is clearly not threatening world peace. It is the hypocritical US along with eight other nuclear-armed states, which still possess over 10,000 nuclear warheads, who are collectively threatening our planet. How can Iran trust such a nation?

Patches for the board support for the Chameleon96 Intel FPGA board have been published and could soon be found in the mainline Linux kernel.
Manivannan Sadhasivam of Linaro sent out the patches on Friday to add the necessary DeviceTree files for supporting the Chameleon96 board by the mainline Linux kernel.
The Chameleon96 is a 96Boards Consumer Edition Board compliant product that is built around the Intel Cyclone V SoC FPGA and has two ARM Cortex-A9 processors. Graphics can be supported by the Intel Video Suite for the FPGA, there is 512MB of DDR3L memory, microSD-based storage, 802.11n WLAN, and Bluetooth LE support.
This Intel Cyclone V FPGA support retails for just about $130 USD. Details on the board can be found at 96Boards.org.
Hopefully these basic patches adding the DTS support will be merged soon (perhaps for Linux 4.21) so that this low-cost Intel FPGA offering can boot with the mainline kernel.


Influences "Evolving as a Image Maker"
I love to draw influences from other photographers, but lately I have been watching films. I have been watching movies with a more critical eye. I closely watch 5 or more movies a week to develop my range. Directors have there own styles with the use color, mood and perceptive. I have been studying Scorsese, Quentin Tarantino, De Palma, Tim Burton, Tony Scott (amazing use of film stock, cross processing and camera work)and of course Clint Eastwood. Do film's form popular culture or just reflect it? I feel for the most part they shape it. Clint Eastwood's dirty Harry movies changed our language. You have to give Eastwood his due he evolved from Spaghetti Westerns to Harry Callahan to the director of "Million Dollar Baby" and "Flags of our Fathers" and so many more. He is arguably the most accomplished movie maker of the last 15 years. Scorsese is interesting to me. Throughout his career one only has to look at his work from "Mean Streets" to "Gangs of New York" have a lighting style and saturation of his own. His slightly red bias is critical to his films. He has influenced my color palette. De Palma work is hard for me to look at. "The Black Dahlia" is filmed with a hue that sickens me. Maybe that is the intent. I do not choose to be influenced by his style, but to each his own. Quentin Tarantino is so good in his use of movement and he certainly draws influences from many directors. But a Tarantino movie is unmistakable. They are stylized, powerful and some times silly. The classic black and white movies perfect use of light and shadow speak for themselfs. My point is I want to take the best influences and incorporate them into a style that is my own. That is my challenge and I owe it to my customers.

Former clerk to face trial on embezzlement charges
Former Clay Township clerk Lisa White will face trial on charges of stealing more than $100,000 from the township.
White, 45, waived her preliminary examination Monday in St. Clair County Judge Cynthia Platzer's courtroom on charges of embezzlement by a public official and embezzlement of more than $100,000.
White remained quiet while she stood beside her lawyer, Arthur Garton, during much of the court hearing. She told Platzer that she had moved from Harsens Island to an address in Fair Haven.
White declined to comment on the case prior to the hearing.
Police have said White embezzled about $131,000 from the township between 2009 and 2014.
She allegedly added the money to her husband's salary at the township fire department, and her own salaries as clerk and as captain at the Clay Township Fire Department.
Embezzlement by a public official is a 10-year felony. Embezzlement of $100,000 or more is a 20-year felony.
White resigned her position as clerk last week. She had not been to the township offices since the November election.
She was elected clerk in 2008 and was paid about $55,000 a year as clerk.
Clay Township Supervisor Artie Bryson said anyone interested in completing White's term as clerk should send a resume and cover letter to supervisor@claytownship.org. White's term expires Nov. 20, 2016.
The board will consider those applications received.
The township board has 45 days to appoint a new clerk. Otherwise, the matter will be decided in a special election, Bryson said.
In October, Clay Township said it expected it would face about $700,000 in fines from the Internal Revenue Service because of errors made in the clerk's office.
The Michigan State Police began an investigation into the matter, which led to the embezzlement charge against White in early February.
A second charge of embezzlement of $100,000 or more was added Wednesday.
White served on the township fire department up until the township board of trustees removed her from her position as captain in November.
White's $50,000 bond was continued at the end of the hearing Monday. A date for White's circuit court arraignment has not been set.

I know it's nearly two months ago, but I feel I must start these notes with a farewell to Sir Patrick Moore.
His love of astronomy was matched only by his love of a good party. The Universe is an emptier place and The Sky At Night will never be the same.
He did like to encourage people to go out and look at the night sky, though, and this month is the best time of year for doing just that, as it is full of superlatives.
The first thing that leaps out of the sky, directly south from about 7pm, is just about the largest constellation that is well-defined: Orion.
Looking much larger than it would appear from the accompanying chart, the three stars of the belt are immediately obvious, as are the stars of the sword hanging down from them. The middle star of these is actually a tight cluster of stars, one of which is the hottest star in the sky.
They all sit in front of, and illuminate, a cloud of gas, forming the Orion Nebula – visible as a sort of "fuzziness" around them. The top left hand star of Orion is the biggest star you will ever see: Betelgeuse.
This is the granddaddy of red giants and varies in a rather unpredictable way, as if it is getting ready to explode in a supernova.
Just below and to the left of Orion is the brightest star in the sky (unless Betelgeuse does erupt). This is Sirius in the constellation of Canis Major, one of Orion's hunting Dogs. This too, is a very hot star, giving it a distinctive blue colour.
Above and to the left of Orion, beyond Betelgeuse, is a pair of stars at the head of the zodiacal constellation Gemini. These two seem to generate the most amusement of all the stars but I have never understood why.
They are Castor and Pollux and the lower of the two, Pollux, is the smallest and nearest red giant in this part of the sky. It is known to have a planet the size of Jupiter orbiting it.
To the right, at a similar height above Orion, is the eye of Taurus the Bull. This is Aldebaran, the colour of which gives it away as another red giant. Higher and further right is the largest planet you will probably ever see.
This is Jupiter, certainly the brightest object in the sky and well worth viewing through binoculars to spot its four moons changing position on a daily basis.
Moving up and right a similar distance again, we come to what is, for me, the most beautiful sight in the sky. This is the Pleiades or Seven Sisters. Through binoculars, this little gathering of obviously blue stars can be seen to be sitting in the cloud of gas from which they were formed.
They are thought to be so young that the early dinosaurs would not have seen them (well, binoculars hadn't been invented then!).
Finally, from about the 6th, we get our best chance of spotting the smallest planet in our Solar System: Mercury. Start looking into the sunset from about 5.30pm but make sure the Sun has definitely set. Mercury will be very low and getting lower, disappearing by 6.30pm.
A very thin crescent Moon will be alongside on the 11th, which will help locate the planet – and by the 20th, it will, again, be too close to the Sun.
So get out and get to know our night sky. It's what Patrick would have wanted!

In Genetics in the Madhouse: The Unknown History of Human Heredity (Princeton University Press, 2018), Theodore Porter uncovers the unfamiliar origins of human genetics in the asylums of Europe and North America. Rather than beginning his story with Gregor Mendel or 1909, the date when Wilhelm Johannsen coined the term "gene," Porter takes us back to King George III. After a political and medical crisis, doctors and researchers began to record and collect data on the causes of mental illness. In so doing, they increasingly investigated and theorized phenotypic heredity. Using paper technologies and demographic research, from asylum admissions records to census cards, largely unknown individuals helped establish the study of human inheritance. Excavating these figures' contributions to the history of heredity, Porter sheds new light on the work of Karl Pearson and Charles Davenport.

BIRD. Charlie Parker, king of bebop, celebrated in film biography
By David Sterritt David Sterritt is the Monitor's film critic.
As its title proudly announces, ``Bird'' is steeped in the music of Charlie Parker - also known as Yardbird or just Bird, and surely the greatest alto-sax player who ever lived. The film is a biography of this spectacular musician. It's also a portrait of the time and place he lived in: the late '40s and early '50s, when 52nd Street in New York City was the capital of the jazz world, and people came in droves to hear a new kind of music called bebop. Parker was the king of bebop, but his musical fame didn't make for a smooth and easy life. He was tormented by insecurities, and he had serious problems with drugs and alcohol - which finally got the better of him, ending his life when he was still in his mid-30s.
``Bird'' shows the tragic parts of his life without either sanitizing or sensationalizing them; it's an antidrug movie that makes its point by example, not by preaching. Other aspects of the picture, meanwhile, are more upbeat. We see the loyalty of Parker's friends, such as trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie, and we see the affection of his jazz-loving wife. We also see - and hear - the flowering of his musical skill, from his hesitant beginnings to his later stardom. Yet the tone of the movie remains mostly brooding and contemplative, always reminding us of the human problems at the heart of what could have been a simple success story.
The makers of ``Bird,'' director Clint Eastwood and writer Joel Olianski, have not looked for easy ways of telling Parker's story. The movie has a complicated structure, beginning in the very first scene - a dreamlike episode that uses a percussion instrument as a metaphor (a cymbal-symbol, you might say) for Parker's hard-hitting life.
``Bird'' is a movie that demands your full attention, refusing to yield all its meanings if you sit back and let it wash over you. But it rewards that attention with a rich and poignant study of a man who was never less than fascinating.
Mr. Eastwood has long been one of Hollywood's most inventive directors, in a dozen pictures as diverse as ``High Plains Drifter'' and ``Bronco Billy,'' and now he's turning into one of our most ambitious filmmakers, as well. ``Bird'' has flaws. It goes on a bit too long; its images are almost mercilessly dark; and it glosses over some difficult aspects of Parker's life, including his mental problems and troubled early marriages. But it's ingeniously filmed and sports a number of exciting performances, led by Forest Whitaker as Bird and Diane Venora as Chan Parker, the wife who apparently had the fullest relationship with him.
And it has the most exhilarating music I've heard all year: To make the sound track, Eastwood used real Charlie Parker solos and brought in first-rate jazz musicians to play along with them, for an effect that's simultaneously fresh and authentic.
Some of the credit for ``Bird'' goes to those instrumentalists, including Charles McPherson on alto sax, Ray Brown on bass, Jon Faddis on trumpet, and Red Rodney, who plays trumpet on the sound track and also appears (played by Michael Zelniker in a sizzling performance) as a character in the story. On-screen standouts in secondary roles include Samuel E. Wright as Dizzy Gillespie and Hamilton Camp as ``the mayor of 52nd Street'' in the movie's most astonishingly filmed sequence - a long, fluidly photographed visit to Bird's natural Manhattan habitat.
This episode helped win ``Bird'' a special prize for outstanding technical achievement at last spring's Cannes Film Festival in France, where Mr. Whitaker also took the award for best actor.
``Bird'' isn't an easy film, and it doesn't always make an effort to be likable. But it's a dazzler - at least as good as ``Round Midnight,'' and that's saying a lot.

ACO is a phrase which is very common nowadays in the medical world today and it stands for Accountable Care Organization and it is of much importance since it has been talked of much recently and it has really been an important part of one of the many recent health laws which have been passed in the united states. These accountable care organizations are very important nowadays since they have proved to be the latest solution which do provide the quality care for the Medicare fee for the service patients and it again gives doctors as well as hospitals some financial incentives thus its management is of much importance. The incentives which are normally provided by the accountable care organization are really put in place to help those Medicare fees for service patients to get that care they need while keeping the costs for consultation and treatment low so as to be very affordable. This kind of movement brought about by the accountable care organization has not yet been put in place in many and large medical clinics but again there are a number of many consulting firms which have really helped the hospitals to become accountable care organizations as well and this is really helping so many people to receive improved care at a low cost. Learn more about Medicare ACO or find the best Healthcare Consulting services.
Accountable care organization consists a group of some participating healthcare providers who normally share the responsibility for providing care to the patients and once this accountable care organization has formed, those groups do agree on how to manage all the health care needs of the group of Medicare beneficiaries. This is a new model of care and it is thus designed to bring together several and different types of healthcare providers for instance primary health care physicians or even specialists and even the home health care experts who will provide a comprehensive and also coordinated care mostly to those people who need it and they again ensure that patients are getting all the required health care needed in the accountable care organization model. The main goal for the accountable care organization management is thus to provide the overall health care but not the individual parts of the health care system for the patients. The doctors, primary care providers or even the physicians in the accountable care organization are the ones in charge and they do play a major role in the organization and thus they should well understand the operations of the accountable care organization operations.

To save money, a good strategy is to make batteries last as long as possible. Golf cart owners today want batteries to last longer before they have to replace them.
They want them to last longer on a charge. Golf cart owners today don't just need carts that last 18 holes on the golf course. They are shoppers and commuters who use golf carts for errands, visiting and just plain getting around town.
They want to go the distance and back.
The problem is, over time, battery operated golf carts slow down.
They don't go as far; they don't hold as much charge.
Lead sulfate builds up on the battery plates. In fact, 75% -80% of lead acid batteries — the kind used in golf carts — fail prematurely because of the formation of lead sulfate crystals on the plates. If batteries sit in disuse, it makes matters worse, as crystal buildup makes batteries unusable in a matter of months, especially in hot weather.
Chuck Van Breemen invented Battery Life Saver to protect the environment by extending battery life and reducing the power needed to recharge batteries. It is an electronic device that easily attaches to a battery bank.
You clip it on, then forget it; it will keep lead sulfate from forming.
It also can be used to restore "dead," sulfate-ridden batteries to their original condition.
The device uses Wave 2 Battery Restoration Technology, which dissolves the lead sulfate crystals, restoring electrical flow.
If you are technically inclined, Wave 2 is a "square wave," with enough power and variability to excite all the frequencies of lead sulfate crystals and convert them back to lead and sulfuric acid.
This restores the battery to its original condition and allows the electrical charge to be drawn from the battery.
Sterling R. of Sun City Center, Florida, drives two miles every day to the golf course, plays 18 holes and drives back.
He put new batteries in his golf cart just before he bought Battery Life Saver. Over the course of his trip, his fuel gauge would go down to 1/2 full. After he began using Battery Life Saver, his gauge only went down to 3/4 full. This means he is using 1/4 of the power available in the battery. Great savings all around!
Today golfers and short distance golf cart drivers are stretching their dollars by using Battery Life Saver. It can be used as well on cars, tractors, trucks, lawn mowers and airplanes.
