14. Kim Kardashian
This wildly popular and controversial reality television star recently spoke of her "political awakening" in a cover story for New York magazine published last November.
She has really made a show of involving herself in politics by publicly sharing her beliefs and lobbying for important changes in American culture and the White House.
In once such instance, beginning in 2018, she successfully urged President Trump to commute Alice Marie Johnson's life sentence for a non-violent drug offense.
13. Kimberely Guilfoyle
Once described by The Washington Post as a "conservative cheerleader for President Trump," Guilfoyle is an American political analyst, attorney, journalist and television news personality who (until July 2018) co-hosted The Five on Fox News.
She worked at Fox News for twelve years, starting in 2006, before they parted ways in 2018. After, she joined America First Policies, a pro-Trump super PAC, to campaign for Republicans in the 2018 midterm elections.
In December 2016, it was reported that Guilfoyle was being considered to serve as a press secretary for President Donald Trump. Guilfoyle allegedly turned down the job and Sean Spicer was ultimately selected to take up the position.
Then, on May 15, 2017, it was reported that she was once again in contact with the White House about the position following Spicer's resignation. "I'm a patriot, and it would be an honor to serve the country," she said. "I think it'd be a fascinating job." Just days after, however, speculations of her potential new position alongside the president were put to rest when she signed a contract with Fox News.
12. Dana Perino
Dana Perino served as the twenty-fourth White House Press Secretary, serving under President George W. Bush from September 14, 2007, to January 20, 2009, making her the second female White House Press Secretary to serve during the Clinton Administration.
Following her departure from the White House, she moved on to work for the Fox News network. In November 2009, she was nominated by President Barack Obama to serve on the Broadcasting Board of Governors, an agency overseeing government-sponsored international broadcasting, In 2017, Perino began hosting The Daily Briefing with Dana Perino on Fox News and also serves as a co-host of the network's talk show The Five.
11. Jessica Simpson
Simpson is an actress, singer and fashion designer who also has conservative views when it comes to politics. Simpson is registered as a Republican. She endorsed George W. Bush during his presidential campaign in 2004 and endorsed Trump in 2016.
Although she has made it clear where her political loyalties lie, Simpson is quite the admirer of the Obamas, especially former-first lady Michelle Obama. "She's such an incredible woman," Simpson praised during the Obama Administration. "And she's with such a powerful man…Everything she does she exudes confidence."
10. Joy Villa
This singer-songwriter has made an exhibition of her support of Donald Trump and conservative political views. Early in 2016, Villa had stated that she supported Senator Bernie Sanders in the presidential election, but soon switched to supporting Trump in the general election.
In the past, she has had fun strutting strange (and controversial) fashion on the Grammy Awards red carpet. At the 2017 Grammy Awards, Villa wore a blue dress that promoted President Donald Trump, featuring his campaign slogan "Make America Great Again" and the name "Trump." In 2018, Villa wore a white dress with a hand-painted baby inside of a rainbow uterus on it along with a purse bearing the slogan, "Choose Life."
At the 2019 Grammys, Villa wore a reflective silver dress with a black outline of bricks all around except for an area with "Build the Wall" spelled out in red in a large section on the backside of the garment, borrowing the font of Pink Floyd's The Wall. She also wore a metallic collar signifying a barbed wire fence a spiked crown referencing the Statue of Liberty and sported a red "Make America Great Again" handbag.
9. Candace Owens
30-year-old Conservative commentator Candace Owens dedicates much of her time and effort to advocate for her political views. She has worked for the conservative advocacy group Turning Point USA between 2017 and 2019.
She is known for her pro-Trump activism and her criticism of Black Lives Matter and of the Democratic Party. She opposes liberal rhetoric regarding structural racism, systemic inequality and identity politics.
In 2017, she began posting politically themed videos to YouTube and launched "Red Pill Black," a website and YouTube channel that promotes black conservatism in the United States.
8. Molly Line
Molly Line (born 1977) joined Fox News as a correspondent in 2006 where she continues to work today. She had previously worked in television news in West Virginia, Albany and Boston and earned her degree in mass communications and political science at Virginia Tech.
Line started her career in journalism modestly, as a photographer and reporter at WDTV-TV (CBS 5) in Bridgeport, West Virginia.
7. Kayleigh McEnany
This writer and political commentator is a former CNN contributor who was appointed national spokesperson for the Republican National Committee in 2017. Then, in February 2019, she was announced as national press secretary for the Donald Trump 2020 presidential campaign.
McEnany was lucky enough to gain great work experience in her field of interest as a teenager and young adult. As a high school and college student, she interned for several politicians, including Tom Gallagher, Adam Putnam and George W. Bush, later working in the White House Office of Communications.
While attending law school, she frequently appeared on CNN as the voice called upon to defend President Donald Trump, whom she supported in the 2016 presidential election.
6. Sarah Palin
Palin was thrust into the public eye in 2008 when she ran as the Republican Party nominee for Vice President of the United States alongside presidential nominee, Arizona Senator John McCain. She is an interesting woman who was the first Alaskan on the national ticket of a major political party and had the honor of being the first Republican female selected as a vice-presidential candidate.
Palin endorsed Trump in the 2016 election just days before the Iowa caucuses, a huge move for the Republican Party at the time and exactly the push many midwestern voters needed as it was the first major Republican endorsement the controversial nominee received. "Are you ready for the leader to make America great again?" Mrs. Palin said with Mr. Trump by her side at a rally at Iowa State University. "Are you ready to stump for Trump? I'm here to support the next president of the United States — Donald Trump."

I spent several hours yesterday driving between the locations of various meetings. Whilst in transit I listened to an interminable debate on the radio about the latest study reportedly criticising the education system or more specifically the vocational qualifications on offer to teens. Having not read the report at the centre of the hype I have no reason to assume it was anything other than a well balanced academic tome but the public debate was anything but.
"Education is NOT about job training. It's about producing well-rounded, tolerant human beings with the capacity to think critically and act rationally and ethically in the increasingly complex socio-economic-technological soup of the environment in which we live; and with the will and lifestyle to leave the world a slightly better place than when they entered it! The acquisition of certain skills that may be useful in the workplace is ONE emergent property of such a system but NOT the most important."
These kinds of public debates also provide a never-missed opportunity for certain media personalities to polish and parade their mathematical and scientific ignorance as a proud badge of honour - another of my pet hates. I wonder how impressive or how long a game of one-up-man-ship would last if they were boasting about an inability to understand words or never having read a book?
Do I use vector calculus, engineering or advanced structural & fluid dynamics, physics, chemistry, solid state electronics, thermodynamics or land law in my day job? Actually I have had reason to use many of these in the past couple of years as an external examiner but by and large no. They're not required for the educational administration that takes up a, sadly, ever increasing proportion of my days. Do the critical systematic analytical thinking skills people acquire through studying advanced mathematics come in useful not just in the workplace but in life in general? You betcha! Luckily in spite of the increasing encroachment of admin duties, as an academic, I still occasionally get to engage in a range of intellectual pursuits some of that earlier academic study directly laid the groundwork for. But whether it is a direct foundation or not to whatever modern life is currently throwing at us that earlier study is never wasted - it is an integral part of whoever has engaged in it.
Do the politicos and media commentators understand this? Well if they do it is not evident in their dominant belief that the education sector is a one-dimensional sausage machine for churning out job fodder to facilitate "what employers want".
I've had the priviledge of working with the Open University for nearly 16 years and meeting some amazing people in that time. I would not insult a single one with assumption behind the empty political thinking on education that they are nothing more than trainee workers and/or consumers.
Side note to "employers", whoever they may be: if you want someone to learn use your machines, staff the phones or stack the shelves 8 hours a day, then a university is not the right place to help with that. I haven't got your machines so can't teach people to use them. If you want someone to work for you and be a more capable all rounder with the ability to contribute to your business in ways you haven't even thought of yet then an education rather than narrowly focussed job training is what you're looking for.
But, in the spirit of caveat emptor, bear in mind that given that branches of all sectors of the UK education system have been driven to the edge of insanity and beyond, Mark Twain's warning that you should never let your schooling interfere with your education has rarely been more important.

The Nation: Simon Shepherd interviews Meghan Murphy
Saturday, 16 November 2019, 1:15 pm
Press Release: The Nation
On Newshub Nation: Simon Shepherd interviews Meghan Murphy
Simon Shepherd: It's Transgender Awareness Week, the same week a feminist group, Speak Up For Women, has brought Megan Murphy from Canada to speak in New Zealand. Murphy is a radical feminist who believes trans women aren't women, views that have seen her banned from Twitter. We asked representatives from several trans and rainbow organisations to engage in a debate, but no one was available. So I began by asking Megan Murphy to explain her position.
Megan Murphy: Sure, I mean, my position is pretty straightforward, in my opinion. I don't believe that it's possible to change biological sex. So I think that you're born either male or female, and you remain male of female for life. So I disagree with the idea that you can identify as female if you're male. I also, of course, have concerns about gender identity legislation and policies and the way that they impact women, and particularly women's spaces where women and girls might be particularly vulnerable, so change rooms, transition houses, prisons.
We'll get to those specific examples in a moment. Gender self-identification — what is wrong with a trans person declaring that they're a woman, though, if that's how they feel?
Well, being a woman isn't a feeling, it's a fact. I guess I don't quite understand what the purpose is, in identifying as the opposite sex. I understand that some people suffer from, you know, what you might call gender dysphoria.
That's right. And that's a medically recognised diagnosis, isn't it?
Well, the problem is that now gender identity legislation and policy isn't based on any kind of medical diagnosis. I would disagree with the concept of gender dysphoria, but that's sort of a more complicated topic we could maybe get into later. But right now, what we're talking about is literally just a person announcing that they're the opposite sex, based on nothing, not based on any kind of mental illness or whatever.
Well, there is one thing that we should raise, though. What about intersex people — the definition is people who do not fit the typical definitions for male or female bodies. Where do they fit into this?
Well, they don't fit into this, because trans people aren't intersex, they're just males or females who don't identify with the gender stereotypes attached to males and females.
Yeah, but you are saying that biologically you are one or the other, but these people are both or neither.
Well, actually, with intersex conditions, usually those people are male or female, and then they have an intersex condition. There's some people that it's more complicated and harder to decipher, but for most people, it's actually not that hard to decipher, and they just have abnormalities.
Right, so, if someone chooses — if they are intersex and they choose to become a female, is that acceptable to you?
Well, I mean, this conversation really doesn't have anything to do with intersex, so I'm not particularly interested in debating that issue. I think that's separate. And, you know, I'm not a doctor, so that's an issue between the person and their doctor, how they want to go about dealing with this condition.
Sure, but it doesn't fit into your—
But what we're talking about is a male who's obviously male, clearly male, simply saying, 'I'm a woman,' and expecting to be accepted as a literal female.
The non-binary community is tiny; some studies here put it at about 1%. So why does a feminist like yourself feel threatened by trans people calling themselves women?
Well, I don't know that it's about me feeling threatened per se. Is that I have concerns for the impact on women's rights as a whole, and particularly marginalised women. So, for example, when we're talking about female prisons, the women who are in female prisons are among the most marginalised people in the country. And men are being transferred to these prisons and assaulting and sexually harassing these women.
Trans people have a high suicide rate here. There's a study recently that more than 50% of them have considered suicide in the past year. They are very marginalised as well. Shouldn't there be some empathy towards them?
I totally have empathy towards people who struggle with gender dysphoria, who struggle with mental illness, who struggle with, you know, their identities, who are marginalised in various ways. It's really not about empathy or a lack of empathy. I mean, we're talking about legislation, so it has to be about more than just how you feel. And really, what I'm concerned about is why no one in this conversation seems to have empathy or concerns for women and girls — I mean, they're totally being left out and shut out of this debate.
And you are fighting for what you say has been the oppression of women over centuries. Do you believe that, in a way, this is also the oppression of another minority, or a marginalised society — that your opinions about them is marginalising them and oppressing them?
Well, I mean, my opinions about people who identify as trans are not offensive or judgemental or hateful in any way. I'm really just saying these basic things like you can't change your sex.
Yeah, but some cultures have accepted this for years. I mean, there's cultures around the world that have a history of gender fluidity. So why is it an issue right now?
I don't have an issue with gender fluidity. And many of those cultures actually didn't necessarily accept these people as literally the opposite sex. They accepted them as, you know, a male who adopted feminine stereotypes. Or there was, like, a 'third gender', but it wasn't the same as what we're talking about now.
So you're saying that society— In your view, should society treat trans people differently, have a different category than male or female?
No. I mean, the problem with trans is that there's no definition of transgender. It's just an announcement. So there's no way to discern who is transgender. You know, what does that mean? What does it mean to be transgender? It's just something that you say.
The transgender community feels feminists like yourself are what they call exclusionary. They call you TERFs — trans exclusionary radical feminists.
Mm-hm.
So you're excluding them from society. That's what their argument—
I'm definitely not excluding them from society.
So why do you object on the terms?
And I'm not excluding trans people from anything. I mean, females who identify as transgender are welcome in women's spaces, males who identify as transgender are welcome in male spaces and welcome everywhere else. What we're saying, what we're talking about specifically is men, so I really feel frustrated when people start talking about it as oppression of trans people or about transphobia, for example, because it's really not about the trans identity. It's really about biological sex, and that's it.
These people feel like they've been trapped in the wrong body. That's one of the things that you hear.
Well, it's not possible to be trapped in the wrong body. You're just born with the body and you deal with it. I mean, lots of people don't like their bodies and wish they had different bodies, but, you know, too bad.
So, you're a male; you're always going to be a male. That's right? You just cannot identify—
Of course. And everyone knows that. I mean, you have to agree it's not possible to change sex. How would that happen?
Well, medically, it's possible to change sex.
It's not possible to change your chromosomes. It's not possible to change your bones. It's not possible to change your pheromones. I mean, you can get cosmetic surgery, so you can be a male with breast implants or you can get genital surgery, but that doesn't literally change your biological sex.
Do you think that you have the privilege in this debate?
I mean, you know, you are a cis-gender woman, and—
I am not a cis-gender woman. I don't identify with femininity.
All right.
I don't identify with sexist gender stereotypes.
Okay. All right. So you're a woman.
I'm a woman. I'm a female. That's right.
Okay. You're a female. But you are not being marginalized, are you? I mean, because women are 50% of the population. So therefore you have the power in this relationship with people—
I mean, I— Me personally— This conversation really isn't about me personally. It's about all women and girls, and around the world, you have to agree that women still suffer enormously in many parts of the world. I mean, in Saudi Arabia, women still, you know, can't function on their own. They're not allowed to drive.
Sure. So, I guess the argument is with that kind of understanding, why do you not have an understanding of people who feel like they are in the wrong bodies and they want to identify as women and that's what their natural state should be?
You know, we can't base legislation based on a few people's feelings, especially when those people are male and potentially present a threat to women and girls.
Okay. Well, let's talk—
I mean, just because a man identifies as a woman, I don't think that means he should be allowed access to women's change room and be able to be there naked with his penis out around women and girls.
All right. So, they can—
I think surely you can agree that's inappropriate.
Okay, so let's talk about the practicalities. You say that a trans woman who hasn't had a genital change should not be allowed into women's spaces. Is that right? In women's changing rooms?
Okay. So you shouldn't share bathrooms. What about sport? Should trans women compete against other women in sport?
I mean, this is a really big issue, and I'm really glad that you brought it up, because males have an obvious advantage over females in most sports, and that's why they compete separately. So, you know, women fought to have the right to compete on fair ground, and that's being rolled back really quickly, and they're being forced to compete against males. And there's no— There's nothing that a man can do, you know— These are men who have gone through puberty; they have male bodies. Even if they reduce their testosterone, that doesn't mean that they—
Because many sports bodies do have levels of testosterone that are acceptable to have trans women versus women.
I know, but those men still have more muscle mass, their bones are different. You know, males have, like— their bodies are completely different than female bodies. They have different organs — they have bigger lungs, they have bigger hands, they have longer limbs, and you can't change any of that by reducing testosterone.
What about self-identification on passports and drivers' licences, these official kinds of documents?
I mean, I don't see the point, but, again, I think that it's dangerous to legally change a person's sex, because what that means is that then that person, if he's male and he has changed his sex to female on his ID and whatnot, then he must be accepted in women's transition houses, in female prisons, in women's change rooms.
Are trans women really a threat in those kinds of places?
Definitely not trans women. Men. Males. So, it doesn't matter if you identify as trans or not. I don't think that trans women are any more dangerous or predatorial than any other man, and I don't even think all men are predatorial. But we know that the people who are predatorial towards women, who sexually harass women, who sexually assault women are generally males, not females.
So you're saying that a male cannot change their spots if they're a bad male, whether they be a trans woman or a male?
I mean, I hope that men can change their spots. By transitioning, they're definitely not changing anything. That's not the kind of change that we're looking for.
You say that self-identification is a regressive ideology that's trying to erase sex-based rights. So you're saying that if somebody wants to self-ID as a trans woman, they're erasing women's rights.
I think that if 'woman' no longer has a definition and there's no such thing as a women, then there's no basis for women's rights.

The construction of a great city on a virgin site must have had a very significant impact on the local environment. Clearing of the mountain-top itself, cutting of nearby timber for building and other purposes, and the introduction of new agricultural practices in the near vicinity would each have had a strong impact on the ecology through deforestation, erosion and changes in hydrology. Destruction and abandonment of the city would perhaps have brought about some reversal. In order to document and assess the level and speed of these aspects of human impact on the environment a program of environmental and geomorphological studies is being undertaken by Catherine Kuzucuoglu and Mehmet Ekmekçi (Fig. 36). This involves the geophysical sectioning of surrounding valleys and drilling into local sediments to obtain cores. Study of the cores will reveal a regional history of environmental change that it will then be possible to relate to patterns of human exploitation of the landscape throughout the last 10,000 years of the holocene period.
Dates for sediments in the cores will be obtained through radio-carbon atomic mass spectrometer (C 14 AMS) dating of very small quantities of organic matter. One exciting possibility is that traces of ash from the fire that finally destroyed the city, around 547 BC, might be detectible in the cores.


Looking for driving lessons in Morphett Vale and surrounding areas?
Knights Driving School is not here to just help you learn to drive and get your license. As a former RAA instructor, I have been assisting learner drivers in South Australia for nearly 40 years and with this experience will help you to drive safely. I have a structured, flexible course incorporating IT and using Dual Controlled Automatic or Manual driving school cars. The course is designed to suit the individual and educate in defensive driving.
This training package has allowed many clients to drive safely all over the world.
Learner driving lessons Manual & Automatic!
It is important to build on prior knowledge.
First, we check a learner's steering. A simple skill? No, this is not a natural skill and may need to be taught. Manoeuvre exercises assist learners in knowing 'about' their car so these are introduced early to give time to master.
Once we have some basics in place, we build the knowledge base of the various traffic situations which need understanding and competency before going solo on our roads.
CBTA is competency based training and assessment which is an excellent approach with a structure designed to cover all areas of safe driving.

 *         The attributes and operations of an MXBean use only
 *         JMX open types which include basic data types,
 *         {@link javax.management.openmbean.CompositeData CompositeData},
 *         and {@link javax.management.openmbean.TabularData TabularData}
 *         defined in
 *         {@link javax.management.openmbean.OpenType OpenType}.
 *         The mapping is specified below.
 *

 *

 *

 *
 *
Platform MXBeans

 * A platform MXBean is a managed bean that conforms to
 * the JMX Instrumentation Specification and only uses
 * a set of basic data types described below.
 * See
 * the specification of MXBeans for details.
 * A JMX management application and the platform <tt>MBeanServer</tt>
 * can interoperate without requiring classes for MXBean specific
 * data types.
 * The data types being transmitted between the JMX connector
 * server and the connector client are
 * {@linkplain javax.management.openmbean.OpenType open types}
 * and this allows interoperation across versions.
 *

 * The platform MXBean interfaces use only the following data types:
 *

 *
Primitive types such as <tt>int</tt>, <tt>long</tt>,
 *       <tt>boolean</tt>, etc

 *
Wrapper classes for primitive types such as
 *       {@link java.lang.Integer Integer}, {@link java.lang.Long Long},
 *       {@link java.lang.Boolean Boolean}, etc and
 *       {@link java.lang.String String}

 *
{@link java.lang.Enum Enum} classes

 *
Classes that define only getter methods and define a static
 *       <tt>from</tt> method with a
 *       {@link javax.management.openmbean.CompositeData CompositeData}
 *       argument to convert from an input <tt>CompositeData</tt> to
 *       an instance of that class
 *

 *
{@link java.util.List List<E>}
 *       where <tt>E</tt> is a primitive type, a wrapper class,
 *       an enum class, or a class supporting conversion from a
 *       <tt>CompositeData</tt> to its class
 *

 *
{@link java.util.Map Map<K,V>}
 *       where <tt>K</tt> and <tt>V</tt> are
 *       a primitive type, a wrapper class,
 *       an enum class, or a class supporting conversion from a
 *       <tt>CompositeData</tt> to its class
 *

 *

 *
 *

 * When an attribute or operation of a platform MXBean
 * is accessed via an <tt>MBeanServer</tt>, the data types are mapped
 * as follows:
 *

 *
A primitive type or a wrapper class is mapped
 *       to the same type.
 *

 *
An {@link Enum} is mapped to
 *       <tt>String</tt> whose value is the name of the enum constant.
 *
A class that defines only getter methods and a static
 *       <tt>from</tt> method with a
 *       {@link javax.management.openmbean.CompositeData CompositeData}
 *       argument is mapped to
 *       {@link javax.management.openmbean.CompositeData CompositeData}.
 *

 *
<tt>Map<K,V></tt> is mapped to
 *       {@link javax.management.openmbean.TabularData TabularData}
 *       whose row type is a
 *       {@link javax.management.openmbean.CompositeType CompositeType} with
 *       two items whose names are "key" and "value"
 *       and the item types are
 *       the corresponding mapped type of <tt>K</tt> and <tt>V</tt>
 *       respectively and the "key" is the index.
 *

 *
<tt>List<E></tt> is mapped to an array with the mapped
 *       type of <tt>E</tt> as the element type.
 *

 *
An array of element type <tt>E</tt> is mapped to
 *       an array of the same dimenions with the mapped type of <tt>E</tt>
 *       as the element type.

 *

 *
 * The {@link javax.management.MBeanInfo MBeanInfo}
 * for a platform MXBean
 * describes the data types of the attributes and operations
 * as primitive or open types mapped as specified above.
 *
 *

 * For example, the {@link MemoryMXBean}
 * interface has the following getter and setter methods:
 *
 *

 * public MemoryUsage getHeapMemoryUsage();
 * public boolean isVerbose();
 * public void setVerbose(boolean value);
 *

 *
 * These attributes in the <tt>MBeanInfo</tt>
 * of the <tt>MemoryMXBean</tt> have the following names and types:
 *
 *

 *

 *

 *   Attribute Name
 *   Type
 *

 *

 *   <tt>HeapMemoryUsage</tt>
 *   {@link MemoryUsage#from
 *              CompositeData representing MemoryUsage}
 *

 *

 *   <tt>Verbose</tt>
 *   <tt>boolean</tt>
 *

 *

 *

 *
 *
MXBean Names

 * Each platform MXBean for a Java virtual machine has a unique
 * {@link javax.management.ObjectName ObjectName} for
 * registration in the platform <tt>MBeanServer</tt>.
 * A Java virtual machine has a single instance of the following management
 * interfaces:
 *
 *

 *

 *

 * Management Interface
 * ObjectName
 *

 *

 *  {@link ClassLoadingMXBean}
 *  {@link #CLASS_LOADING_MXBEAN_NAME
 *             <tt>java.lang:type=ClassLoading</tt>}
 *

 *

 *  {@link MemoryMXBean}
 *  {@link #MEMORY_MXBEAN_NAME
 *             <tt>java.lang:type=Memory</tt>}
 *

 *

 *  {@link ThreadMXBean}
 *  {@link #THREAD_MXBEAN_NAME
 *             <tt>java.lang:type=Threading</tt>}
 *

 *

 *  {@link RuntimeMXBean}
 *  {@link #RUNTIME_MXBEAN_NAME
 *             <tt>java.lang:type=Runtime</tt>}
 *

 *

 *  {@link OperatingSystemMXBean}
 *  {@link #OPERATING_SYSTEM_MXBEAN_NAME
 *             <tt>java.lang:type=OperatingSystem</tt>}
 *

 *

 *

 *
 *

 * A Java virtual machine has zero or a single instance of
 * the following management interfaces.
 *
 *

 *

 *

 * Management Interface
 * ObjectName
 *

 *

 *  {@link CompilationMXBean}
 *  {@link #COMPILATION_MXBEAN_NAME
 *             <tt>java.lang:type=Compilation</tt>}
 *

 *

 *

 *
 *

 * A Java virtual machine may have one or more instances of the following
 * management interfaces.
 *

 *

 *

 * Management Interface
 * ObjectName
 *

 *

 *  {@link GarbageCollectorMXBean}

Q: Can't load modules from anaconda environment into pycharm I am trying to use a anaconda environment with pycharm. I did setup the environment from settings. If I call import numpy as np I get this error:
 D:\Anaconda3\envs\ml_test\python.exe D:/fac/python/b/test.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "D:/fac/python/b/test.py", line 1, in <module>
    import numpy as np
  File "D:\Anaconda3\envs\ml_test\lib\site-packages\numpy\__init__.py", line 140, in <module>
    from . import _distributor_init
  File "D:\Anaconda3\envs\ml_test\lib\site-packages\numpy\_distributor_init.py", line 34, in <module>
    from . import _mklinit
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.

Process finished with exit code 1

yes the environment does contain the numpy module
edit: fixed it by reinstalling anaconda

A: *

*cd d:\Anaconda3\Scripts\

*open CMD in folder

*in terminal, type : conda list to obtain the packages installed using conda.
for the packages that pip recognizes, type : pip list
Numpy find in list?

*Try conda install -n  , e.g.
conda install -n ml_test numpy

And, you can create anaconda ENV with python 3.6 for experiments and see https://anaconda.org/anaconda/numpy ?
May be access from another Anaconda environment to Pycharm will be resolve the issue or be clarification of the true source of the problem ?
Sorry for possibly inaccurate grammar. I did my best :)

Millburn, NJ — Dr. Harold Pollack, a dentist in New Jersey, and his practice have updated their CEREC software and camera to maintain their commitment to providing the most advanced technology and procedures available. The CEREC device is designed to create custom dental restorations in one appointment so that patients can have their teeth fitted with a long-lasting solution on the same day. With statistics from the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons (AAOMS) reporting that 69 percent of adults ages 35 to 44 have lost at least one permanent tooth, Dr. Pollack says providing the highest quality dental restorations and the latest technology is an essential part of his commitment to patient care.
Developed by Sirona, the CEREC device is a computer-aided system used to produce individual all-porcelain restorations in a single appointment. Dr. Pollack says the new software upgrade allows him to enhance the imaging and precision of the device, while rebuilding his patients' teeth in the most conservative, natural way possible. He says he is excited about the update and hopes to use its advanced features to improve the level of results provided at his New Jersey cosmetic dentistry practice.
Having also recently implemented a new digital x-ray machine and a MicroluxTM Transilluminator, Dr. Pollack says staying up-to-date with modern advancements in cosmetic dentistry is an important duty as a dentist. Whether he is performing same day restorations (inlay and onlays) with the CEREC system or a routine white filling, he says being able to offer his patients innovative techniques and technology is both a joy and a privilege. Dr. Pollack adds that he looks forward to future advancements in cosmetic dentistry, as dentists such as himself continue to strive for more efficient and effective solutions to all patient concerns.
As he prepares to fully integrate the new CEREC software into his practice, Dr. Pollack says he reminds any patient considering a dental restoration that porcelain inlays, onlays, crowns and veneers should only be performed by a trained and qualified dentist. He urges patients to consult with an experienced practice before undergoing any treatment, so as to ensure they receive the safest, most conservative and effective results possible.
Located at 280 Millburn Avenue in Millburn, NJ, Beautiful Smiles by Dr. Pollack can be reached at (973) 947-4331. He and his team can also be contacted online via the website beautifulsmilesnj.com or facebook.com/drharoldpollack.

Woman stabs drinking buddy in Forest Park apartment
by NICK MORONI August 23, 2011 February 9, 2021
Police arrested a 26-year-old Forest Park woman on the night of Aug. 18 after she allegedly stabbed a man with whom she had been drinking for hours at a residence on the 7400 block of Washington Street.
According to a police report, the victim began arguing with Ashley Teemer after he awoke from a nap and found his alcohol missing – Teemer, her brother and the victim reportedly had been drinking throughout the day. As the victim turned to leave, Teemer held a "large butcher knife" to his back, he told police later. The victim responded to the threat by grabbing Teemer's throat and throwing her to the ground.
At some point, the victim was stabbed; the police report states his wound did not require stitches.
Deputy Chief Tom Aftanas said that, because stitches were not needed, the wound seemed minor to him.
"Since a weapon was used, that's why the officer signed [a complaint] on the victim's behalf," Aftanas said. Police signed a complaint for the victim because he refused to press charges against Teemer.
In a police interview after she was arrested for domestic battery, Teemer said she stabbed the victim because she was afraid of him, due to a prior incident in which he choked her.

Bugatti Is The Big Winner At Concorso d'Eleganza
Bugatti vehicles really grabbed attention and came out as the big winners during the recently concluded Concorso d'Eleganza. Leading the pack was a Bugatti Type 57S Vanvooren Cabriolet which was awarded the coveted 'Best of Show' honor. Other Bugattis that were also awarded include a Type 59 Sports racing car and a Bugatti Bolide which won the 'Best Preserved Pre-War Car' and the coveted 'Design Award', respectively.
Every year, the world's finest vehicles meet at the Concorso d'Eleganza by Lake Como, Italy. But even amongst the best vehicles in the world, there is still that one stand out that is considered the Best of the best. For 2022, the honor was given to a Bugatti Type 57S Vanvooren Cabriolet.
One of four Bugattis that were showcased, it not only won in its class, it was eventually named 'Best of Show'.
Bugatti Type 57S
Seven different classes were on display at the Concorso d'Eleganza and the Bugatti Type 57S was featured in Class A, 'The Golden Age of Elegance: The Art Deco Era of Motor Car Design'. Bugatti provided the technical excellence of the award-winning car, while Vanvooren, based in Courbevoie in the Paris suburbs, gave it its elegant convertible body.
Even today, the convertible still grabs attention with its proportions and clear lines. Only four Bugatti Type 57S were given a Vanvooren convertible body, and the example was the first of the four. A previous owner replaced the original engine of the example with a V8 for test purposes. What is interesting about the car is that like a modern-day miracle, even after being lost for more than 40 years, after some extensive research, its original straight eight-cylinder engine was eventually rediscovered.
Other vehicles that were featured in Class A were a rare 1934 Bugatti Type 59 Sports race car and a 1937 Type 57C Stelvio Cabriolet with Gangloff bodywork. From 1934 until 1934, the Type 59 Sports served as a factory race car and was eventually converted into a sports car. It was successfully competed in races until 1937. It only had five owners from new, with King Leopold III of Belgium acquiring it in 1938. The is currently considered as one of the most significant racing Bugattis. Admired for its originality, it is not surprising that it impressed even the judges of Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este that they gave the Type 59 the FIVA Trophy for Best Preserved Pre-War Car.
Bugatti Type 57C- Stelvio
The Stelvio Cabriolet was the first Type 57 that Bugatti installed with a supercharger. Named after the Passo dello Stelvio, also known as the Stelvio Pass, the powerful engine effortlessly conquered this steep mountain pass. For the bodywork, it was provided by Gnangloff, an exclusive coachbuilder based in Colmar, France and was in close proximity to Bugatti's headquarters in Molsheim. Another notable feature of the Cabriolet is its art deco bumpers, as it is the only known example of this Bugatti to be given such details.
The new Bugatti Bolide was one of the seven prototypes featured in the 'Concept Cars and Prototypes' class. It won the much-desired Design Award of the class. Bugatti Bolide was an experimental study that answered what a Bugatti would look like if it was stripped back to its cutting-edge essentials and concentrated on its iconic 8.0-liter W16 engine. It was unveiled in 2020, and it created such a stir and clamor from clients that Bugatti decided to do a small production run of the series. 40 units of the Bolide were offered, and all build slots were immediately sold out.
The extreme, track-focused hyper sports car is unmatched in terms of weight-to-power ratio. Thanks to its W16 engine that can produce 1,600 PS and the Bolide's extremely high downforce setup, Bugatti was able to explore a new dimension of hyper sports cars. The Bolide is able to produce LMP-performance

Even dinosaurs, it appears, were divided by gender. A new study provides the first solid evidence that male and female DINOSAURS looked different from each other. Evan Saitta '14, who conducted the research for his senior thesis, found that the back plate of the Stegosaurus came in two varieties — females had one type and males the other. Saitta is a graduate student at the University of Bristol in England. The findings were published in PLOS ONE in April.
With the global population rising, policymakers have targeted Africa's vast wet savannas as a place to produce STAPLE FOODS at low cost to the environment. But a report in Nature Climate Change found that converting Africa's savannas into farmland would come at a high environmental cost and, in some cases, fail to meet existing standards for renewable fuels. Princeton research scholars Lyndon Estes and Tim Searchinger were the lead authors of the report, published in March.

Home » US Marines in Vietnam: 1968 The Defining Year
Page 577 (1968: The Defining Year)
infantry replacements from April into March and adding another 400 men to the scheduled replacements for April.116
Despite these efforts, in the spring of 1968, the Marine Corps could not find enough replacements to keep up with the high rate of casualties and normal rotations. The Deputy Secretary of Defense approved a new manpower ceiling for Vietnam, Program 6, on 4 April, calling for the number of Marines in Vietnam to increase to 87,700 by 30 June 1968. Instead of rising to this goal, however, the number of Marines in Vietnam declined slowly, but steadily, through the spring of 1968.
Midsummer marked the nadir of manpower for the year. In June, infantry battalions averaged only 1,043 Marines. At the end of June, rifle companies averaged 179.6 Marines. An average of only 158.5 Marines was actually present, or 73.4 percent of the T/O strength. The 1st Marine Division continued to bear the brunt of the manpower shortage, averaging just 1,005 Marines in its infantry battalions in July.
Naturally, some companies were worse off than others. On any given day, sick call, working parties, and other routine requirements siphoned off a number of Marines counted as "present," exacerbating the problem. In the early summer of 1968, senior officers returning from Vietnam spoke of the fighting strength of rifle companies averaging 120 men, and sometimes falling as low as 80 or 90 men.117*
In contrast to the field units, the Marine Corps "got awfully heavy at [its] headquarters levels in Vietnam."118 The personnel situation improved on each succeeding rung of the chain of command. Infantry battalion headquarters and service companies averaged 91.8 percent of the T/O allowance of 329 Marines; regimental headquarters companies, 94.9 percent of their authorized strength of 218; and division headquarters battalions, almost 150 percent of their T/O strength of l ,248 Marines. Taken together, the headquarters overages of III MAF and the two divisions amounted to 1,568 Marines, nearly half the shortfall among the infantry battalions in country.
Much of this overmanning could not be helped. The tables of organization for headquarters units did not provide for many crucial billets, such as instructors for sniper, NCO, engineer, and other vital in-country schools."s Task forces placed a further drain on headquarters assets, particularly the creation of Task Force X-Ray in January 1968.120 Still, many Marines were assigned to headquarters units more as a matter of convenience than necessity." Whether combat requirement or unnecessary luxury, since the Marine Corps could never reach its programmed strength in Vietnam, every extra Marine in a headquarters unit in effect came out of an infantry squad.
This situation concerned both Lieutenant General Henry W. Buse, General Krulak's replacement as Commanding General, Fleet Marine Force Pacific, and General Chapman, the Commandant of the Marine Corps. Between 15 and 18 July, General Buse held a manpower conference at his headquarters to address this and other problems. After the conference, General Buse reported to the Commandant that while he could not tell how much or how soon effective rifle company strength would improve, except for Marines with medical limitations and certain overriding requirements, all infantrymen were being assigned to infantry and reconnaissance units.12'
According to the MACV strength report, on 31 July 1968, III MAF included 82,871 Marines, 2,069 fewer than its authorized strength of 84,940. The two divisions combined, however, fell 4,130 below their authorized strength, and the SLF's contained 164 Marines less than their manning levels called for. Much of the difference could be found in Combined Action groups, which included 1,951 Marines. As in January,
*There were questions among the different commands as to what amounted to effective strength of rifle companies. For example, Major General Raymond G. Davis, then commanding general of the 3d Marine Division, did not want to count as effective, personnel who were on light duty or awaiting transportation for TAD (Temporary Attached Duty) or R&R (Rest and Recreation)leave, but were still in the company sector. III MAF disagreed and was backed up by FMFPac. See BGen E.E. Anderson Itr to LtGen W. J. Van Ryzin, dtd HSep68, End, Gen Earl E. Anderson, Comments on draft, dtd 18Dec94 (Vietnam Comment File). Colonel Pederson, the III MAF G-l, remembered that the term "foxhole strength" caused "a stir at various levels. The media reported what. . . [they} saw and in an indicting fashion reported that many were absent from the battlefield. When the story hit the streets reporters milked it with questions posed at SecNav, CMC, CGFMFPac. These officials shot messages to CGIIIMAF for info[rma-tionl. By then several days had passed. The same unit observed in the first place was now up to strength (T/O manning level etc.) . . . [but now] further reduced by combat casualties, transfers, etc. Massaging numbers did not solve much. Commanders at all levels were aware of personnel shortages, some of which were caused by assigning 'trigger pullers' to base-type functions such as R&R and China Beach R&R, out of country R&R. Our Combined Action Platoons used up more trigger pullers. There seemed to be some variation in casualty reporting, some counted by operation and experienced difficulty in accuracy when reporting daily by unit." Pederson Comments.
^For instance, in the summer of 1967, in the midst of a critical shortage of combat engineers, the 3d Marine Division had five combat engineer NCOs building an officer's club at its base camp. Marsh intvw.

A nice tangy dish with a touch of sweetness. It may seem like a lot of cabbage, but will reduce by about fifty percent during cooking.
1. In a large skillet, brown the bacon over medium heat. Add the garlic, onion and continue cooking until onion is translu- cent.
2. Add half the cabbage and sauté until reduced in volume. Add the remaining cabbage and sauté 2-3 minutes more.
3. In a small bowl, combine the mustard, vinegar, sugar, and honey. Pour over cabbage; cover and simmer 10 minutes. Uncover and simmer until liquid is absorbed or evaporated.


Ms Gould said that council officials and firefighters had been examining the Chalcot buildings on Friday, and the decision to evacuate was made at around 6.30pm. The council said it was booking hotels but 100 residents are spending the night on air beds in a leisure centre. It is thought the work will take three to four weeks.
Police had earlier said it was unclear whether he died as a result of an illness or from the attack. The man, who was killed in a terror attack in front of the Finsbury Park Mosque in London four days ago, was a British-Bangladeshi, London police confirmed yesterday.
Peace Now, a settlement watchdog group, has said that the rise in construction in the West Bank correlates to a drop in new buildings within Israel of 2.5%. On the campaign trail, Mr Trump indicated he would be far more sympathetic to settlements than Mr Obama. Palestinian and Israeli officials are contesting remarks by Secretary of State Rex Tillerson that the Palestinian government will stop paying salaries to militant's families.
It could be one stage of an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) engine that would be able to reach the United States, the officials said . Experts however say North Korea could still be years away from possessing any reliable ICBM capability, reports said.
Plans to scrap free school meals, ration winter fuel payments for pensioners, repeal the Fixed-term Parliaments Act, and introduce the "dementia tax" for funding social care have been swept away by the election result, the daily said. The enfeebled premier, who is still locked in hard talks with a Northern Irish party to prop up her administration, said her programme was about seizing opportunities offered by Brexit .
South Korean officials did not have details about the reported test and declined to comment on the possible nature of the engine. Most of all, the unpredictability of North Korea's leader Kim Jong Un , coupled with the country's unambiguous nuclear ambitions, have many Pentagon officials concerned about the technological pace of their progress.
The Indian navy wants the unarmed surveillance drones to keep watch over the Indian Ocean. With the United States expected to authorize India's purchase of naval drones, a senior White House official cautioned on Friday that any US military transfer to India would not represent a threat to its rival neighbor Pakistan.
The North's missile tests present a hard challenge to Moon, a liberal who took office in May and has expressed a desire to reach out to Pyongyang. While it's not immediately clear what the outcome of the test was, North Korea has long harbored ambitions to build and maintain a credible nuclear weapon arsenal for deterrence or to strike North America.
The lone-wolf attacker attacker who stabbed a police officer at a MI airport in the U.S. unsuccessfully tried to buy a gun, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) said. "We have no information to suggest any training". Ftouhi's Facebook page shed little light on his views. Police in Canada were searching a Montreal apartment.
Pyongyang has tested a flurry of rockets in the recent past, sending tensions with the USA - which has been trying to discourage its missile programme - ratcheting up. "When the world says that it hopes China can do even more, I don't know what "do even more" refers to", Geng told a daily news briefing in Beijing on Friday.
Moon observed the test-firing of a new midrange missile the country is developing to cope with growing threats from North Korea . US spy satellites have detected new activity at North Korea's underground nuclear test site that involve some modifications around one of the tunnel entrances to an underground test area, USA officials said.

Stairs can be a source of injuries | Mark L. Karno & Associates, L.L.C.
On behalf of Mark L. Karno & Associates, L.L.C. posted in Premises Liability on Friday, January 19, 2018.
Chicago, Illinois, has some of the most impressive buildings in the world, as well as other buildings that are lesser known. Those buildings are sites of bustling commerce, with everyone from billionaire CEOs to minimum wage clerks going in and out of them every day. Naturally, most of those people use the buildings' stairs, both in entering and exiting the building and within the building. When someone slips and falls on the stairs and gets injured, there can be a premises liability case.
Many falls on stairs just result in a moment of fear and a couple of small bruises. Even in those cases, the people who fall should report the incident to the building's management, because there may have been a cause like water on steps or steps in need of repair that can be addressed so that others won't be endangered.
Of course, in other cases, a person can slip and fall down a full flight of stairs, crashing into concrete steps and platforms and suffering very serious injuries. In those cases, the people who fall may need substantial medical attention and the building owner may need to pay a substantial amount to cover the cost of that medical attention and to compensate for pain, suffering, and loss of wages for the person who fell as well.
Just falling down stairs may not be enough to create liability for the building owner or the person leasing the building. Typically, there needs to be some kind of dangerous condition that directly resulted in the fall. Additionally, the building owner or the person leasing the building should have known about the dangerous condition before the fall happened.
Those who control the maintenance of a building can be proactive by making sure that outside stairs don't get wet, snowy, or icy. They can also make sure that all stairs, inside and outside, don't have slippery surfaces for any reason, are not damaged, and don't have loose parts.


Global warming is starting to hit hard like there's no tomorrow, and at current rates of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, there may not be a tomorrow, as emissions continue setting new records year-by-year, expected to hit a 62-year record in 2019. So much for the Paris 2015 climate agreement!
The most sensitive areas to global warming, (1) the Arctic (almost all of its multi-year ice, or old ice, is gone — already melted), and (2) East Antarctica, the coldest spot in the planet… strangely melting, and (3) Siberian ground that "no longer freezes in winter" are three occurrences that should keep world leaders up late into the night, blankly staring at the ceiling.
In fact, over the past couple of decades global warming has groomed ultra-dangerous climate upheavals that could destroy sizeable swaths of civilization. But how soon remains an open question?
Failing to recognize the several ominous threats of global warming, especially now that the ground cover protecting permafrost from thawing is not freezing in the Arctic wintertime, is comparable to applying for lifetime membership in the Flat Earth Society. After all, some things in life are so bloody obvious that denial is tantamount to imbecility or brainlessness, traits that are not DNA inclusive, rather symbolic of a deadness bordering on lunacy.
If not global warming, then what's behind Arctic ground not freezing in the dead of winter, exposing permafrost to thaw, and East Antarctica, the world's coldest spot, starting to melt?
In that regard, National Geographic ran a story a couple of months ago entitled: "Some Arctic Ground No Longer Freezing — Even in Winter" d/d August 20th, 2018.
Still, smart-alecky people may query: Runaway Global Warming (RGW), so what? Answer: Check out Australia at year-end 2018 when all-time sustaining record temperatures brought destruction of biblical proportions, melted highways, thousands of bats deathly falling in city streets, massive losses of fishes, and fruit that "cooked from the inside out." Yes, believe it or not, cooked from the inside out! But, that's only a sampler of what's in store with full-scale planetary RGW. It'll take one's breath away… literally!
But the ground cover for permafrost did not freeze-up in a region of the Arctic where temperatures typically dip to –40° F, and where permafrost has always remained frozen since time immemorial.
Is that how Runaway Global Warming starts? Probably!
Not only that, but throughout the Arctic, change is happening lightning fast in geological terms, e.g., 300 miles north of the Arctic Circle in Norway temperatures reached 90°F this past spring. In other words, the Arctic is cookin'.
Nearly a quarter of the Northern Hemisphere landmass sits on permafrost trapped in frozen soil that contains twice the amount of carbon that's already in the atmosphere, which is a surefire deadly formula for trouble.
The jury is still out on the National Geographic article. Hopefully, it is not a major trend throughout the Arctic, but ominously, it's popping up in other Arctic permafrost regions. Vladimir Romanovsky, a permafrost expert at the University of Alaska/Fairbanks found freeze-ups of permafrost shifting from mid-January to as late as March, happening since 2014.
The stakes in the Arctic are high. It's common knowledge that if permafrost layers are consistently exposed to thawing, consequences can be hard, fast and not pleasant. Counter-intuitively, once it's unfrozen, permafrost can potentially release GHG year-round, not only in summertime. And, that's a huge problem without a solution, unless well beforehand Homo sapiens halts GHG emissions. No chance.

"The Island President" at Filmfest DC: the story of Maldives President Mohamed Nasheed and his leadership on climate change
Tonight, Filmfest DC sponsored a showing at Landmark E-Street (sold out) and panel discussion of Jon Shenk's film "The Island President". The country is Maldives, the lowest lying nation on Earth, south of India, comprising about 2000 islands. The people resemble those of India in appearance.
Mohamed Nasheed was elected in 2008, at the age of 41, but after the film was made, resigned in early 2012 because of unrest of Islam. The film documents Nasheed's drive to protect his nation from climate change, particularly at the December 2009 United Nations Climate Change Conference (site) in Copenhagen, and all the other steps that led to it. (There is a scene showing Nasheed smoking a cigarette. How depressing! But the movie also shows him conferring mate in a chess game when playing a computer.)
The film covers the geopolitics of the conference, with China's reluctance, and the moral struggle between consumption habits in the developed world, in developing nations (like China and India), and smaller countries. There was an agreement, but it was essentially non-binding.
The film shows Maldives as an attractive country, and the capital Male covers its island with modern bit low-rising buildings, including a mosque. The nation experienced severe damage from the 2004 tsunami.
The Q&A mentioned the critical carbon dioxide levels: around 292 before the Industrial Revolution, 350 (link) (the highest acceptable stability point) and 392, after which Maldives could not exist. Much of the developing world (Bangladesh) is near the sea in flood plains.
There was discussion of the individual "moral" problems. The time line seems so long that many older people may believe they will not be affected, so this becomes a generational thing. But the effects of climate change are already being felt, as with violent weather now.
The audience had some people that were arrested at the anti-pipeline demonstration last August (see March 18 review of "Dirty Oil").
The film, produced by IVTS and Actual Fil,s, will be distributed by Samuel Goldwyn Films. The HDCAM photography was sumptuous, but the stereo did not seem to be on. The official site is here.
The film is part of FilmFestDC's "Justice Matters" series.
