Gitmo's Shame
By Peter RothbergTwitter
You would hardly know it from watching the news or reading the papers, but there's a two-month-old hunger strike going on at Guantánamo Bay. After more than three years of internment without charges or trials, approximately forty detainees are striking for the right to a fair hearing before a judge.
The Pentagon is in denial about its violations of the Geneva Accords; the mainstream media are oblivious. As Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR) staff attorney Gitanjali Gutierrez says, "It is astounding that men in US custody are willing to engage in a hunger strike until they are afforded a fair hearing or they die of starvation." But it's happening with no one paying all that much attention–except in Europe, Asia and the Middle East, where, as Clive Stafford Smith explaines in the Nation magazine, any US claim to be the standard-bearer of the rule of law has dissolved.
It's so bad even Thomas Friedman has called for closing the prisoners' camp. But Friedman's column last summer aside, this hunger strike really does seem to be the story America doesn't care about. And the Gitmo authorities, mindful of the bad publicity a detainee death by starvation would cause, are apparently force-feeding the hunger strikers to make sure we don't see a Muslim Bobby Sands.
CCR has been out in front in opposing the Bush Administration's extra-Constitutional detentions at Guantánamo, having released fact-finding reports and argued before federal courts on behalf of judicial rights for the detainees. The venerable lefty legal outfit has also put up an outstanding Guantánamo Action Center–a terrific site featuring resources and organizing tools that can help break the silence.
Amnesty International has also been a strong and vocal opponent of the Bush Administration's detainee policy, which has put hundreds of people of at least 35 different nationalities "in a legal black hole, many without access to any court, legal counsel or family visits," according to an AI report released last May which also famously called Guantánamo "America's gulag."
"As evidence of torture and widespread cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment mounts," the report rightly insisted, "it is more urgent than ever that the US Government bring the Guantánamo Bay detention camp and any other facilities it is operating outside the USA into full compliance with international law and standards. The only alternative is to close them down," which is precisely what many grassroots groups along with people like John McCain have demanded. AI also offers an easy way to write the White House. Click here to demand that Guantánamo detainees receive their legal rights and let them know people are watching.
Before the current round of prisoners, 300 Haitians were detained at Guantánamo Bay. "Their story should have taught the US that Guantánamo is both bad policy and bad law." Read Yale University law professor and human-rights expert Harold Koh's new essay, originally published on openDemocracy.net.

Yuvraj Singh Given World Cup Hope By BCCI
By Daily Ent Xpress on	 April 1, 2019 IPL
Yuvraj Singh's impressive start to the IPL season could now land him a no. 4 spot and a ticket to England for the World Cup in June, says BCCI.
When Mumbai Indians signed Yuvraj Singh in December, little did we know that the 37-year-old batsman would be in the fray for a World Cup spot for India.
However, after his impressive start to the IPL 2019 with the Mumbai franchise, BCCI has now suggested that Yuvraj Singh could be considered – not only for the selection, but for the number four spot as well!
In an interview, a BCCI official stated that the board is monitoring Yuvraj Singh's progress in the Indian Premier League and may consider him for the much-disputed number four spot.
In the last few months, the Indian team has experimented with a significant number of players for the fourth spot in batting order. Players like Ambati Rayudu, Rishabh Pant, MS Dhoni and Vijay Shankar have all played in the 4th spopt, yet the team, as well as the fans, are undecided on the position's final holder.
Yuvraj Singh for the World Cup:
The BCCI official stated that Yuvraj Singh has started the IPL season strongly, which gives the board another option to look out for.
"We are keeping track on Yuvraj Singh's performances this season," the official said.
"We're keeping our options open. There are many players who are under consideration for the World Cup spots and the IPL will help us in providing a fairer picture.
"Yuvraj has had a bright start to the IPL. His innings against Royal Challengers Bangalore was short-lived but dominating. If he continues performing in such a manner, there's no reason why we shouldn't consider him for the number 4 spot," the official added.
Yuvraj Singh, meanwhile, will aim to perform in a similar manner, and maybe, the legendary Indian batsman may return to the Indian blue again.

The largest iteration of The European Fine Art Fair in years featured plenty of blue-chip works—and bottles of Purell
Despite the coronavirus outbreak, and a reported 29 percent drop in first-day preview attendance as a result, many things remained the same at the 2020 edition of The European Fine Art Fair, or TEFAF, in Maastricht—the world's most famous art and antiques fair, where museum curators as well as blue-chip collectors stalk the seeming miles of aisles at the MECC Maastricht convention center. Though Champagne may flow and hors d'oeuvres may be passed at the 33rd annual iteration of the fair, which runs through March 12, "This is not social," says Suzanne Demisch of the Manhattan gallery Demisch Danant. "There's no big dinner and no parties. It's business, it's serious, and it's about collectors."
Demisch Danant
"Louis Sognot designed a lot in rattan, usually very elegant beds and sofas," Stephane Danant of Demisch Danant says of a luxuriously simple sofa with a sloping back that was made around 1954. Not many have survived, though, "because people tended to use them as garden furniture. After 50 years in the rain, you can imagine how difficult they are to restore properly." This example, found in near-pristine condition requiring very little in terms of freshening, is priced at $51,356.

The Department of Defence has announced its new CIO, Greg Farr, hired from the ranks of the Australian Taxation Office.
In brief The Department of Defence (DoD) has announced its new CIO, Greg Farr, hired from the ranks of the Australian Taxation Office (ATO).
Farr was picked from among public and private sector candidates, according to the DoD, to take up the position of department CIO, leaving his current role as second commissioner in the ATO.
Farr has experience in project management and has helped overhaul the ATO's ICT operations, the DoD said.
The announcement marks the second major public sector CIO hire this week. Wednesday saw the appointment of Emmanuel Rodriguez to the post of NSW state CIO.
Farr has been the ATO's key spokesperson during the break up of the AU$1.8 billion whole-of-department contract held by Texan outsourcing giant, EDS.
The ATO is set to announce the first of its three major outsourcing deals for managed network services next month, covering voice, mobile and data carriage, PABX, desktop handsets and LAN and WAN switches.

The radio station I work at plays "lite" adult contemporary. I noticed a song by Michael McDonald and Patti LaBelle called "On My Own" from the 80s features the line "Now we are talking about getting a divorced and we were never even married." HUH????
"All That She Wants" by Ace of Base. Thats a bad one all right.
"Watch out, Ebert, I'm going to have to spit to get the taste out of my mouth."
"We Are the World" by Band Aid.
Go suck on a prune, you old Band Aid wankers! Not only was the song a good torture method, but Africans continued to starve while their food rotted on the docks because you distracted everyone from the real problem, namely the dictators who were starving them! Every wanker who puts on a whiny charity concert for no one's good but his own ought to be drowned in a vat of maple syrup as punishment.

Jimmy Buffet doesn't get played much? Can't speak for other areas, but not where I live. "Margaritaville", "Come Monday", "Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes", "Volcano", "Cheeseburger in Paradise", "Pencil Thin Mustache", etc. all still get regular radio play on AC and country stations around here. Even the local classic rock stations still give him a play now and then, but less than they did say five years ago . Basically everything on "Songs You Know By Heart", even "Why Don't We Get Drunk" until Clear Channel bought the rock station, got played until a few years ago when stations seemed to start narrowing their play lists even more. But my favorite stuff of his is the old stuff and not too many of the popular ones or the hits.
Another stupid lyrics tune: "Hey Baby" by No Doubt. I've never believed in the idea that if you have even a touch of ska or reggae in your music you are automatically cool, so I've never been a fan of them. But that thing isn't even a full song, just an annoying hook, a chant ("Hey Baby! Hey Baby! Hey!" and that boys say/girls say crap) pretending to be a chorus, and whatever little bit of lyrics Stephani's mumbling in her Betty Boop with a hangover singing voice that I've never been able to hear clear enough to figure out.
Oh, nemo, you don't know the half of it!! What astonishes me even more is how these songs that were dreadful then get recycled to death and beyond death on "Oldies" stations. The only people I've ever met in person who enjoy 70's top 40 radio music are either mentally challenged or have a perverse attraction to them sort of like what we do here with our Ed Wood stuff.

The Marshall Arts & Humanities Series: The Meritocracy Trap
by Association of Marshall Scholars
9:30 AM – 10:30 AM EST
The Meritocracy Trap
You are invited to a Zoom webinar. Please register via Eventbrite in advance.
Please click the link below to join the webinar: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/85669833473?pwd=Ri9rbnhWWVF2MlhBd1EzTDVScVE1Zz09
PLEASE SUBMIT QUESTIONS IN ADVANCE to: events@marshallscholars.org
A webcast dialogue with Professor Daniel Markovits (1991) and Mr. Pratap Bhanu Mehta on Friday, February 19th from 9:30 - 10:30 AM ET / 8:00 - 9:00 PM (India Standard Time) to discuss concepts raised in The Meritocracy Trap.
His current book, The Meritocracy Trap (Penguin Press, 2019), develops a sustained attack on American meritocracy. The meritocratic ideal—that people should get ahead based on their own accomplishments rather than their parents' social class—has become our age's literal common sense. Markovits argues, however, that both up and down the social ladder, meritocracy is a sham. Today, meritocracy has become exactly what it was invented to defeat—a new aristocracy, only now based on schooling rather than breeding. Upward mobility has become a fantasy, and the embattled middle class is more likely to sink into the working poor than to rise into the professional elite. At the same time, meritocracy ensnares even those who manage to claw their way to the top, trapping rich adults in a pitiless competition, which requires them to work with crushing intensity, exploiting their expensive educations in order to extract a return.
The event will be the ninth in our monthly Marshall Arts and Humanities Series: hour-long discussions via zoom with Marshall scholars and invited guests featuring poetry, music, history, books and ideas.
The audience will be invited to share their questions in advance by writing, and would have ~15 minutes reserved for direct Q&A at the end of the 30 minute discussion. Pending your consent, we archive and post the video on our website and youtube channel.
Daniel Markovits (1991) is Guido Calabresi Professor of Law at Yale Law School and Founding Director of the Center for the Study of Private Law.
Markovits works in the philosophical foundations of private law, moral and political philosophy, and behavioral economics. He publishes in a range of disciplines, including in Science, The American Economic Review, and The Yale Law Journal.
After earning a B.A. in Mathematics, summa cum laude from Yale University, Markovits received a British Marshall Scholarship to study in England, where he was awarded an M.Sc. in Econometrics and Mathematical Economics from the L.S.E. and a B.Phil. and D.Phil. in Philosophy from the University of Oxford. Markovits then returned to Yale to study law and, after clerking for the Honorable Guido Calabresi, joined the faculty at Yale.
Pratap Bhanu Mehta has held several teaching positions. He was a Professor at NYU School of Law, a Visiting Professor of Government at Harvard University, Associate Professor of Government and of Social Studies at Harvard, and for a brief period, Professor of Philosophy and of Law and Governance at Jawaharlal Nehru University.
He was Member-Convenor of the Prime Minister of India's National Knowledge Commission, Member of the Supreme Court appointed Lyngdoh Committee on elections in Indian Universities, and has contributed to a number of reports for leading Government of India and International Agencies. He was on the Board of Governors of International Development Research Centre. He was Vice-Chair of the World Economic Forum's Council on Global Governance. He has also served on the Board of NIPFP, NCAER and NIID.
Mr. Mehta is on the editorial board of journals such as the American Political Science Review and Journal of Democracy. He received the 2010 Malcolm Adiseshiah Award and the 2011 Infosys Prize for Social Sciences (Political Science and International Relations).

Lindsay appears in Hideo Kojima's much anticipated new game, Death Stranding.
Lindsay featured in
Death Stranding.
LW/HK from E3; game play trailers
Lindsay's first foray into video games came at the request of lifelong fan and famed creator, Hideo Kojima. Death Stranding is Kojima's much anticipated multi-player action game that sweeps players into a world where they strive to reconnect isolated cities and a fragmented society. Lindsay provided motion capture, vocal performance and images. Death Stranding was developed by Kojima Productions and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment for PlayStation 4.
Lindsay and Hideo
Hideo Kojima had his work cut out for him when he first met with Lindsay. Kojima wanted Lindsay to be part of his new action game, but first he had to convince his childhood idol that the concept of this game was about connection and the importance of life. Hideo's passion and vision for the epic project resonated deeply with Lindsay who agreed not only to perform but also to allow characters to be created using her likeness. The rest as they say, is history.


Second post on this awesome Breville Fast-Slow Cooker. I shaved off more than an hour of cooking time for my chicken noodle soup recipe. This appliance is such a time-saver, especially on busy work nights when I can't start prepping until 6 or 7pm.
First I browned onions, garlic, celery, and carrots until they were soft using Breville's saute/sear function.
Then I placed a whole chicken in (giblets removed) and filled the pot up slightly lower than the max line with water. I let it come to boil again on the saute/sear function for about 6 minutes and skimmed off any scum from the surface.
I dumped in the can of stewed tomatoes, my herbs, and a few dashes of Worcestershire sauce. Placed the lid on and pressure cooked chicken on medium for 25 minutes. After it was done, I removed the chicken and shredded the meat, discarding the skin and bones. The meat was placed back in the pot and the uncooked pasta and green beans added in with salt and pepper. Another 6 minutes of pressure cooking on low and the hearty soup was done. This all took about an hour.
Adjusted the seasonings for more salt, pepper, and dried red chili and we had ourselves another quick satisfying meal.
Besides the saute/sear and pressure cooking (3 levels) functions, the Breville also has steaming and warming functions. Steamer basket and trivet below.
Saute carrots, celery, onions and garlic with a little oil on sauté/sear function until softened (about 3 min).
Put chicken in the cooker, and pour in water until almost to the max line (leave some room for the tomatoes).
Bring to boil using the sauté/sear function and carefully skim scum off the top with large spoon (I like to use a fine mesh sieve).
Add tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce and herbs.
Pressure cook on medium for 25 minutes.
Remove chicken from cooker and remove all meat from the bones. Shred the meat with two forks. Add meat back in.
Add in the uncooked pasta and green beans.
Pressure cook for 6 min. on low.
Adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
Add chili flakes and cilantro (optional).


Most likely, the earliest Gospel was written by John Mark of Jerusalem, helper to both Peter and Paul. The time was probably A.D. 65-67 and the purpose was to inspire believers in Rome against whom Emperor Nero had unleashed a wave of horrific persecution after having executed the two apostles mentioned above (see Acts 12:12; 2 Tim. 4:11; 1 Pet. 5:13). Mark's is the only canonical Gospel with a title: "The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God" (Mark 1:1). Early church tradition says that Mark wrote what Peter preached. Peter himself hints at plans for something like that (2 Pet. 1:12-15) and Peter's recitation of the story of Jesus to the Italian household of Cornelius in Acts 10:34-43 turns out to be an excellent outline for the Gospel of Mark.
Mark tells no Christmas story, gives no birth narratives, offers no genealogical details. He begins with John, the wilderness prophet. John announces that while he baptizes with water, Jesus, who is greater than him, will baptize with the Holy Spirit. John then baptizes Jesus. As Jesus comes up from the water, the Spirit of God comes down from heaven upon him as predicted in Isaiah 61:1ff and the divine voice proclaims Jesus to be God's beloved and well-pleasing Son — conjuring memories of Psalm 2:7 and Isaiah 42:1 (Mark 1:4-11). Mark literally says the heavens were ripped open (1:10, fulfilling Isaiah 64:1). Near the end of this story, Mark will report the Temple curtain also being ripped open from top to bottom (15:38). God is at work in Jesus' story from start to finish.
Early in the story, Jesus begins to recruit apprentices. Not with an offer but a command. He sees Levi in the tax office and says "Follow me." Levi gets up and follows Jesus (1:14). The next verse has Jesus socializing at table with "many tax-gatherers and sinners . . . for there were many of them and they were following him" (1:15). The Pharisaic scribes see this and are offended (1:16), just as Jesus intended. "I did not come to call the righteous but sinners," he says (1:17). The first half of this Gospel ends with Jesus telling the crowds: "If anyone wishes to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me" (8:34).

Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 4, Episode 15 "From Motherland to Haterville"
The ladies are packing up and leaving Africa and I have to say HALLELUIAH! Marlo's 15 minutes of fame needs to be up. She should have never been on that trip in the first place, and we all know she was only on it to get more face time in front of the cameras. She is not a cast member – girl needs to go.
I have to say Kim has come along way in the last year. She is so much more tolerable than she used to be. Kim was always my least favorite RHOA cast member, but I dare say she has toned down the attitude and classied it up. Okay, so she still has the most vulgar mouth out of them all, but at least she seems so much happier than when she was with "Big Poppa." She no longer has this negative aura about her. She would probably have less stress in her life if she would get a real assistant though and fire that Sweetie woman. Sweetie does not have much ambition/motivation/doesn't take initiative.
Cynthia comes home and gives her daughter, Noelle, goodies from Africa. Peter asks where is his? She admits she forgot. Peter now tells her that he's planning a big one year anniversary party. To me, this is all for show. They are not a happily married couple. They try to hide it, but man, the camera shows everything – and it's not just the editing. It is my opinion that Peter wants to show everyone how in loooove he is with Cynthia so they will think a) he's a wonderful husband, and b) they are happy together. I don't see this working out too well, but interested to find out!
Cynthia then tells Peter that Nene's son, Bryson, has been arrested AGAIN for stealing something stupid like razors from Wal-Mart. This is the son of the woman who was yelling at Sheree "I'm RICH b*tch!" Then tells the cameras that she's so proud of herself for being able to pay CASH for her son's car which cost $13,500. Now, I'm happy to see that she didn't go out and buy him an Aston Martin and stayed within her means, but paying cash for a Dodge Charger with a negotiated price of $13,500 is not that big of accomplishment for someone claiming to be as wealthy as she is. Now he's stealing a razor from Wal-Mart? Hmmm. Not saying he stole it because he couldn't afford it, but there's still something fishy here. At least she will be able to pay his attorney fees now.
Kandi: Did she or did she not say that Kim would never have held a little black baby in Africa? What I heard, is what Kandi is also saying, that she said she couldn't picture Kim in Africa at all – which didn't have anything to do with black people. Looks like Sheree is just stirring the pot. Kim is not racist and I feel sometimes that it's just an easy target to say she is since she's the only white cast member. I love baby KJ too. How cute is he?!
Kandi and Phaedra visit Sheree's lot where she's in the process of "building" her house. The lot has yet to be cleared – nothing has been done on it at all. Kandi and Phaedra wonder if Sheree is having financial problems. Sheree is seen talking with Kim and further stirring the pot and creating a rift with Kandi in regards to the comment made at the African orphanage. I do like Sheree, but I feel like she's just trying to cause trouble in this case. Kandi and Phaedra arrive at Kim's. Phaedra gives her commentary on the flowers walking up to the door. Everything that girl does cracks me. "Mmmm… she got some impatiens. Mmm, girl. Nice nice." haha! She acts as though she's judging Kim on every step she takes towards her new home. As an outsider, it's hilarious.
Peter questions Nene about why Bryson is in jail and how she's going to handle it. She explains he's been in jail 5 days and she does not plan to bail him out. She's planning to let him wait it out 30 days in order for a lesson to be learned. If that were me, I would make my son spend 24 hours in the holding cell and then I would get him out. Bryson keeps getting in minor trouble here and there and this may be the thing that will straighten him out. However, I agree with Peter's point of view that 24 hours is all it takes to scare him straight. He wasn't in there for drugs, drunk driving, killing anybody… he stole some small thing from Wal-Mart. It is time for him to come home.
Back to the uncomfortable luncheon at Kim's house. Kim, Sheree, Phaedra, and Kandi are discussing the African trip. Kim is just glaring at Kandi the entire time and you can feel the elephant in the room that no one is discussing. I sense things are going to blow up at any second. Kandi can't even look at Kim in the face. And BAM! The claws are out and the screaming begins. Some great lines came out of the fight so far though "Black baby, white baby, purple baby, pink baby… I love babies, b*tch!" and "I didn't say nothin' about a black baby!" (and this is where my mom thinks, "why does she even watch these shows?" haha). So the argument turns into would Kim have gone to South Africa or not if she had not just had a baby. I am on Kandi's side when she says that she does not see Kim going. Kim just likes the finer things in life, doesn't want to get her nails or wigs dirty, etc. I don't think that it means Kandi has a low opinion of Kim, as Kim thinks, I think it just means that it's just not Kim's thing. My friends like to go camping, I do not. I am not less of a person because I don't like to go camping. That is all Kandi is trying to say about Kim and South Africa.
Next episode looks good… it's Peter's party he's throwing for their anniversary and of course Peter says something offensive about Cynthia's sister and that creates a whole family feud. Way to go, Peter. Looking forward to watching that drama though! 🙂

Donnita Patterson-Brown says:
I think Cynthia and Peter will be fine as long as they continue to communicate with each other. They are not complete strangers to one another, they just made their relationship official and that takes work. Peter has to get over what her family did at the wedding, he is to old to hold a gudge. And Cynthia's sister just has to keep her nose out of their relationship.
Just because NeNe states she is rich, has nothing to do with how she is careful with how she spends her money. Some people who have grown up knowing the value of a dollar, learn how to handle a dollar when they have to work hard for it. And we all can not be there when our children choose to make the wrong decisions, we can only hope that our children use the tools we give them to make the right decision when we are not there. That is the use of their brain in deciding right from wrong. How many stars have been on the news for shoplifting and or stealing someones property? Without naming them, each one of them could have afforded to pay for the item, instead chose not to. All over 18 years old. When do we stop blaming the parent? Heck, NeNe's son should have been glad his mother even bought him a car at all, he would of had to buy it himself. To many of these parents who have millions spoon feed their kids at a young age, and they keep expecting it, that's when they start to do what they want. Razor's or not it's the fact that he got caught taking something that didn't belong to him.
Kim and Sweetie have the worst working relationship ever, but hasn't Kim claimed that Sweetie is her friend who is also her assistant?? She can't be both. As we have learned those kind of relationships usually don't work. Sweetie obviously has no assistant skills and never has, picked up on that when she was first introduced in early episodes, and then subtle hints before Kroy left for camp. She makes for a good babysitter. Kroy had definitely settled Kim down, but she is a lazy stay at home mom, she has all kind of help and she's still complaining. No she wouldn't have went to Africa even if she didn't have the baby, she's too picky, she would have been worst than Marlo looking for a hairdresser and a makeup artist, to come to the bush. And we probably didn't see Marlo the last day cause she was probably still nursing her stomach. She was eating a glass of crushed ice while they were packing. Hint to always pack pepto and other stomach relief antacid meds.
And now that Sheree doesn't have Phaedra as her lawyer, who's going to go after the contractor to see why he's not on schedule. Oh yea, maybe because she might find out that she doesn't have the money to cover the checks she wrote. That's why she got her check back from Phaedra after she went to court with her and talked smack instead of following Phaedra's advice. If she would just send her baby's daddy to jail, for back pay on his child support, despite his claims, she wouldn't have to front. He would come up with the bucks to get out of jail. What happened to her invisible clothing line? Now she wants to stir up this pot with Kandi and Kim about something that wasn't even said. Is she a real friend? I am trying to understand her motives, like Kandi said on Bravo, she should have said something on the safari if she thought Kandi was wrong.
amandatalkstv says:
Thank you, Donnita, for your comment and your opinions on the show! I agree Cynthia's sister needs to butt out, but I think she believes Cynthia's made a mistake and isn't happy. Your assessment of Kim and Sweetie is dead on. She needs an assistant that will also motivate her I think Sweetie is just enabling her lazy personality by being lazy right along with her. Yeah I think Sheree should just admit that she doesn't have any money and stop trying to act like she does. The girls will probably like her better for it. I want to know who Kandi is dating! I've just now had the time to watch her on WWHL. Thanks again for your comments!

Q: How to test a command line options parser using GTest I am developing a command line options processor for my app. I have decided to use GTest to test it. It's implementation has been shown below in brief:
int main(int argv, char **argv)
{
    if (!ProcessOptions(argc, argv)
    {
        return 1;
    }

    // Some more code here

    return 0;
}

int ProcessOptions(int argc, char **argv)
{
    for (int i = 1; i < argc; ++i)
    {
        CheckOption(argv[i]);

        CheckArgument();

        if (Success)
        {
            EnableOption();
        }
    }
}

The code runs as expected, but the problem is: I want to test this using GTest by supplying different options (valid and invalid) to it. The GTest manual reads:

The ::testing::InitGoogleTest() function parses the command line for
googletest flags, and removes all recognized flags. This allows the
user to control a test program's behavior via various flags, which
we'll cover in the AdvancedGuide. You must call this function before
calling RUN_ALL_TESTS(), or the flags won't be properly initialized.

But this way, I will be able to test just one sequence. I want to do this multiple times for different options. How do I do that?
Is there any better strategy to achieve this? Can I do this using test fixtures?

A: Have you considered a value-parameterized test? They sound perfect for your situation:

Value-parameterized tests allow you to test your code with different parameters without writing multiple copies of the same test. This is useful in a number of situations, for example:

*

*You have a piece of code whose behavior is affected by one or more command-line flags.

*You want to test different implementations of an OO interface.

*You want to make sure your code performs correctly for various values of those flags.

You could write one or more test(s) which define the expected behaviour of the command line argument parser and then pass the command line flags down to it this way.
A full code example is shown in the link to the Google Test GitHub docs, but here's a quick outline:

*

*Create a test class inheriting testing::TestWithParam<T>.

*Use TEST_P and within it, the GetParam() method to access the parameter value.

*You can instantiate your tests with INSTANTIATE_TEST_SUITE_P. Use the testing::Values method to supply values.

This responds to your letter to Walter Myers of this office regarding the May 9, 1995, amendment of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 217, Bus Window Retention and Release. I apologize for the delay in responding. For your future reference, Mr. Myers is no longer assigned to our school bus standards. You may address requests for interpretation directly to me.
The May 9 amendment (60 FR 24562) to FMVSS No. 217 permitted, among other things, bus manufacturers to meet the additional emergency exit area (AEEA) requirements of S5.2 by permitting manufacturers to install two emergency exit windows as an alternative to an emergency exit door. You asked what the location requirements (fore and aft) are for the emergency windows that are used as the first additional emergency exit.
FMVSS No. 217 contains no explicit fore and aft location requirements for the two additional emergency exit windows. However, the intent of the final rule was to substitute the location requirements of the side exit door when the windows are used to satisfy the requirement for the first additional emergency exit. This intention is reflected in the use of the conjunctive word "or" in Tables 1 and 2 of the May 9, 1995, amendment. If a left side exit door would have been installed pursuant to S5.2.3.1(a)(2)(i), then S5.2.3.2(a)(2) requires that it be located as near as practicable to the midpoint of the passenger compartment. The same fore-aft location should be used for the windows. In cases where the fore-aft location is not specified, such as a right side exit door installed pursuant to S5.2.3.1(b)(2)(i), then the windows should be placed so as to provide bus passengers with maximum accessibility to an emergency exit, in accordance with what is reasonable and practicable.
Also note the explicit location requirement in S5.2.3.2(c) that exit windows be evenly divided between the left and right sides of the bus. For example, if two exit windows are used instead of a left side exit door, they should be placed on opposite sides at the midpoint of the bus.
I hope this information will be of assistance to you. Should you have any further questions or seek additional information, please feel free to contact Paul Atelsek at this address or by calling (202) 366- 2992.


The pressure dropped 10 millibars, but the wind speed was held constant at 160 kts (184 m/h). The decrease in pressure normally indicates an increase in wind speed potential. However, the scientist think the storm is going through an eye wall replacement cycle, which will stop the wind speed from increasing.
Note: This storm is huge. If it makes it into the Gulf of Mexico, coastal Louisiana will feel the affects of it regardless of where it will make landfall. The question is only one of severity. The storm is still a long way off, but it is chugging alone.
Why the uncertainty in the turn?
Ok, it's very simple: The turn is 5 days out. Mathematically speaking, you can't accurately forecast 5 days out. But, there is a small bit of information missing: The steering current that is supposed to cause the turn is characterized as a "small wave." The question plaguing me is will this "small wave" be strong enough to allow a Cat 4 or 5 storm rotate on its axis? It's 5 days out. You can't know.
So, here's the deal: The storm, as all storms do, wants to turn north, but there is a bulk of air that is forcing it to head west. This bulk of air isn't supposed to let up until the 5th day allowing Irma to turn. However.... 5 days is a long time in weather forecasting.

Q: How to view logs for Azure web app for container? I am struggling with setting up logging for my container web app in Azure. What I would like to view is basically all traffic going back and forth, so JSON input and output and exceptions and the like. So I guess just Application Insights, but for containers.
I have read through I think all of Microsoft's documentation on Azure container monitoring solution, but found no step-by-step guide on how to set it up. One guide explains how to set up a new web app, but I already have an existing web app that I want to link to a new monitoring solution. Some guides explain how to set it up for AKS, but I don't have AKS.
I found this article: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/learn/quick-collect-azurevm, but I am not sure if it is exactly what I am looking for. I would appreciate it if anyone could point me in the right direction here, because I have clicked what feels like every single button in Azure portal, but no logs are showing up. I have obviously tried to add a container monitoring solution with a log analytics workspace, but how do I connect this to my container web app?

A: Checked the logs in container settings.

This is also explained in this SO thread.


Over the last six months more than 4,415 young people participated in the run-up events to the 'UK Youth Parliament Election' in Enfield on 16th February 2018.
Since forty representatives were elected to the 'Enfield Youth Parliament' back in November, objectives and strategies have been proposed within our meetings. Alongside this, a productive relationship amongst the Youth Parliament members had been created; all members felt confident to disagree and compromise on relatable issues. Extremely opinionated and active, the members were eager to participate at any level of politics and so they attended senior council meetings to discuss current dilemmas.
However, as the New Year turned, many members had their eyes set on the upcoming election for the UK Youth Parliament, to represent Enfield on a national level at the 'British Youth Council'. As it is a very prestigious position, there was a lot of campaigning as candidates were writing speeches, preparing leaflets and networking before the election. Nine candidates featured in the election with each member providing convincing manifestos and surviving intense rounds of questions. As the results were announced live on social media, it was revealed that aspiring politicians Theo Sergiou and Esra Gungor, would take their seats on 1st March 2018, with Nick Papanicolaou and Lily Hassan as Deputy Representatives.
I am very fortunate and grateful to be a representative of our borough and stand with the youth on issues that affect all of us. My job, as somebody who experiences these issues, is to find imaginative solutions and drive change, as well as listening to the wider youth and solving their issues. Esra and I are both passionate individuals and specialise in a variety of fields; we complement each other very well.
Already, we have immersed ourselves in a wide range of activities; we have attended senior health, crime and scrutiny council meetings, introduced ourself to local schools and organisations, spoken passionately beside Members of Parliament at events such as International Women's Day and travelled to Swindon to meet specialists and further our campaign ideas. In particular, we have focused our efforts on the rising issue of knife crime, like many young people are, we are very concerned. For a lot of our youth, the victims to knife crime are people they know and there is a rising fear of their safety in the capital. Personally, I have contacted local boxing gyms convincing them to voluntarily open their door to young adults and spoken with London hospitals about communicating with young trauma patients affected by knife violence; an issue that we know a lot about and that threatens us on a daily basis.
We are eager to get involved in community projects and any opportunities that are available; building a strong and communicative relationship with the community is so important for us. After all, we are standing with you and representing your beliefs. Currently, we hope to be attending three conferences this year, a House of Commons Sitting and several residential visits, in addition to following our own projects. Both of us have plans we desire to see through, and there is no doubt that the next year will see an unprecedented change for the Youth in Enfield.


President Obama joined civil rights leaders to open the newest Smithsonian Saturday, ringing a historic bell as the museum opened.
Timed entry passes for the opening weekend are no longer available, but visitors can enjoy a free music festival without tickets.
Be prepared for road closures, large crowds and heightened security in the area surrounding the National Mall.
"Phenomenal." "Hopeful." "Exhilarating." Visitors were enthralled by their trips through the new National Museum of African American History and Culture on its opening day, describing the experience as inspiring, cathartic and phenomenal -- a word that came up again and again.
Crowds lined up early for the new African American History Museum's 2nd day. Visitors shared what they were most looking forward to seeing.
New groups of eager visitors are lining up outside the newest Smithsonian on Sunday, sharing their thoughts on what they're most looking forward to seeing now that Washington, D.C.'s highly anticipated black history museum has opened its doors after more than 100 years in the making.
"I think just being able to look at all the African American history in one set location, looking at Prince's jacket, Chuck Berry's Cadillac; I'm just excited about the whole thing," said Jennifer Kirby, who traveled with her family from Atlanta.
"I'm just going to say Emmett Till's original casket, because I lived through that era," said visitor Vivian Favors.
With thousands of items occupying 85,000 square feet of exhibition space, the new Smithsonian is chronicling the complex relationship between the United States and a people it once enslaved, and telling the story of those who worked to make the necessary changes to bring the country to where it is today.
Alexis Lennon, of Takoma Park, said she thought the museum did an "amazing job of telling our story."
"It was life-changing for me to finally have a place that embodies African American culture," she said Sunday.
Lifelong D.C resident Denise Evans said she jumped at the opportunity to visit the museum when a friend who couldn't make it offered her a ticket Sunday morning.
Evans, 49, said the museum was "sort of heartbreaking," but also interesting and uplifting.
"Unfortunately so many things are repeating itself and so it was a little bit heartbreaking to see that as far as we've come we are beginning to repeat those same patterns of discrimination," Evans said. "But I think because we can see the path from it then we can sort of being ourselves out of it again."
Her favorite exhibit highlighted African American fashion.
"Just really being able to see that we have our own style, that we can own who we are and that we really do have an impact on much of what the whole does... so much of that has been quieted, and so seeing it on display it's like, 'OK, right, we are pretty cool and we are creative and we are gifted,'" she said.
The museum is offering extended hours for its grand opening weekend.
Sunday, the museum will stay open from 7 a.m. to midnight, but passes were snapped up almost as soon as they became available. Although admission is free, the museum is using a timed pass system to control crowds and alleviate wait times.
Despite the lengthy lines both outside and inside the museum, visitors said the timed entry pass system is efficient, keeping wait times down.
However, anyone heading toward the museum this weekend should be prepared for large crowds and heightened security.
The museum's outdoor music festival is open to the public on the Washington Monument grounds, with no tickets required. The festival, Freedom Sounds, is celebrating the talent and creativity of African-American artists, with jazz, R&B, gospel and hip-hop artists throughout the weekend.
The Roots, Living Colour and Public Enemy headlined Saturday night. Performances continue throughout the day Sunday, with another main-stage concert scheduled for 6 to 9 p.m. A surprise special guest is slated to perform.
Dr. Greg Carr, associate professor and chair of the department of Afro-American Studies at Howard University, discusses the the significance of the museum and what can people expect when they walk in.
Lennon and Andres Rossy toured the museum for more than three hours Sunday, but said they would need much more time to see everything inside.
"You definitely can't do it all in one day," said Rossy, of Takoma Park. "So we'll be back, but I had a great time."
Margaret Baxter and her husband drove up from their home in Durham, North Carolina to visit the museum with Margaret's 71-year-old grandmother.
As a fan of history, Baxter said she enjoyed the exhibits on slavery and segregation in America.
"It would probably take you two to three days to see every single thing, but it's so well put together," she said. "It's incredible."
Her grandmother, D.C. resident Marthena Baxter, said she enjoyed seeing the exhibits highlighting "entertainers from back when," like Chuck Berry, Barry White and James Brown.
Marthena Baxter said she plans on returning to the museum after crowds die down to "really take everything in."
"The whole place was amazing, absolutely amazing," she said. "I will be back."

Saturday's Dedication Ceremony: "By Understanding this Story, It Binds Us Together"
Centuries of struggles and strife, decades of planning and pain, and years of hoping for a place that African-American history can call home culminated Saturday morning as President Barack Obama officially dedicated the museum.
Obama opened the museum Saturday with the ringing of the historic Freedom Bell from the First Baptist Church in Williamsburg, Virginia, which was organized in 1776 by slaves.
Obama said the new national museum will help to tell a richer and fuller story of the country.
"It helps us better understand the lives, yes, of a president, but also the slave. The industrialist, but also the worker. The teacher or the cook, alongside the story of the statesman," he said. "By understanding this story, it binds us together and reaffirms we are all Americans."
He continued his message of the inclusion of African Americans in American history, calling it "an act of patriotism to understand where we've been."
"We're not a burden on America or a stain on America or an object of shame and pity for America. We are America. And that's what this museum explains," Obama said. "Hopefully, this museum makes us talk to each other and listen to each other and see each other."
The dedication featured speeches by Obama, civil rights leader U.S. Rep. John Lewis, former President George W. Bush and the museum's founding director, Lonnie Bunch. It also featured rousing musical tributes with a local flair, including Howard University's "Showtime" marching band and an a capella presentation by a choir from D.C.'s Duke Ellington School for the Arts.
The museum, the 19th and newest of the Smithsonians, opened to the public following the dedication ceremony.
"It's a historic event," said Leslie Howard, who traveled from New Orleans to attend the dedication. "And the fact that we have our first black president to dedicate it shows you how God works."
"We want to make sure we reinforce the commitment to preserve African-American history," said Glen Yonkers, Jr., a member of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, which was founded at Howard University in Washington. Members marched to the mall for the dedication Saturday.
"Our fraternity was built for African-American men to have a place to share our history and stories," said fraternity brother Jude Collins. "This was the only place to be today."
Seeing the dedication was a family event for many; Alicia Frayer came from Charleston with her husband and three daughters to attend. "I'm inspired by history," she said. "It's a major part of our history, and the fact that our history and culture are here for everyone to see is so important."
Many celebrities came to the museum's dedication as well, including Oprah Winfrey, who has donated more then $20 million to the museum.
The museum tweeted a video of Octavia Spencer and Janelle Monae arriving. Robert De Niro, Angela Bassett, Will Smith and Patti LaBelle were among those presenting during the dedication.
Lexie Schapitl contributed to this report.

This tour runs everyday, except Mondays and Sundays.
If you only have one day for a tour in Florence, go for this one: A three-hour tour that covers two of the major monuments: The Accademia for David and the Duomo.
We'd recommend that you combine this Florence Accademia Duomo tour with our Spirit of Florence tour. People will think you're mad not seeing THE David in Florence. So, make time for it. This tour goes beyond just showing you the best sights as it's led by a local guide, ready to share insights to the city that most tourists don't discover on their own.
It's also essential because we organize pre-reserved tickets, so you do not lose time waiting in a long line while you're on holiday. Some people just remember their Italian holidays as long lines.
Michelangelo created David for the Duomo and completed in 1504 when Michelangelo was just a young man of twenty-nine. It was originally placed in the political heart of Florence, in Piazza Della Signoria and then was moved indoors.
The story of David was ever-popular in art throughout the 15th century as a symbol of the strength and truth of good over evil. So, the copy replaced in Piazza Della Signoria in 1910, still guards over the city of Florence. Your local guide will give good coverage of this history in the Florence Academia Duomo walking tour.
Dominating the skyline of Florence, the imponent Cathedral of Florence is an artistic wonder for its size and its the amazing marble decorations. You'll walk through the beauty of priceless treasures of Gothic and Renaissance art.
The dome of the cathedral is very famous for many reasons like its size and mosaics. Florence Accademia Duomo tour is a very small group or a private tour anyway, so the experience is quite intimate.
Your local guide will also include a visit to the Dome. At the end of the Florence Academia Duomo tour, you can climb the dome and the bell tower to admire scenic views of Florence and the surrounding Tuscany.
Both the Accademia and the Duomo are very famous for many reasons, and rightly so they are notorious for the difficulty to get tickets. This Florence Accademia Duomo tour is a great investment to save your time and to appreciate the potentially overwhelming series of art works with a scholarly local guide who manages to be fun at the same time.
Your Florence Accademia Duomo tour will end at one of the Squares so you can ask your guide for options of the best places to eat or drink an aperitivo.
Entrance fees for the Duomo, Baptistry and pre-reserved tickets to climb the Dome.

Kazimierz Kord
For 22 years director of the National Philharmonic. In 1962 he was appointed director ofthe Krakow Musical Theatre, becoming the youngest opera theatre director in the world at that time. Within eight years he premiered about thirty operas and ballets and took his theatre to the height of artistic achievement. For four years he was head of the Polish Radio and Television Symphonic Orchestra in Katowice. Since 1977 he has been director of the National Philharmonic, which has since then established its international reputation. With the group he has made over thirty very successful tours, visiting the most important venues in the world. In parallel with his work in Poland, he started conducting orchestras in Europe, Japan and the USA. For many years he maintained a close relationship with the Metropolitan Opera in New York (The Queen of Spades, Aida, Cosi fan tutte, Boris Godunov, Macbeth) and the San Francisco Opera (Falstaff, Otello and others). He has been associated with several European opera theatres (Amsterdam, Munich, Düsseldorf, London, Copenhagen). In the USA he conducted many symphonic orchestras, e.g. in Chicago, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Detroit and Cincinnati (where for some time he was the principal guest conductor). In Europe he has conducted in London, Paris, Berlin, Vienna, Rome, Amsterdam, Leningrad, Hamburg, Cologne, Frankfurt, Moscow and Stuttgart). In the 1980's for six seasons he was director of the Baden-Baden Südwestfunk Orchestra. He has been visiting conductor of the Osaka and Tokyo Orchestras. The range of his artistic interests is very wide, although he prefers forms with high dramatic tension and modern music, such as presented at the Warsaw Autumn Festival, the Lustoslawski Forum or Donaueschingen Festival. He has made numerous recordings for renowned labels (Decca, Deutsche Gramophon, EMI, Philips). Recently, together with the National Philharmonic, he has recorded complete Beethoven symphonies (for POLmusic and CD Accord), the works of Gorecki (for Philips), Szymanowski, Penderecki, Panufnik and Szymanski (for CD Accord). He boasts numerous home and international awards.

Call me basic, but on September 1st I am thinking about pumpkin spice everything. Needless to say, I wasn't going to let keto ruin my fall & pumpkin obsession.
Whenever we do something like go to the pumpkin farm, I pack my own pumpkin spice snacks with me so I don't over do it at the farm… because it's way too easy to fall out of ketosis.
Bake at 325 for 20-30 minutes, it's really going to vary by oven AND size of the cookies. Just make sure you keep checking on them after 20 minutes.


Positive Response (+Response) is communication from the utility member (contract locator) to the excavator regarding the status of a DigAlert ticket. California has always had +Response in the law by requiring members to notify the excavator with status or mark the area to be excavated on site. What changed in Government Code 4216 on January 1st, 2017, is that Electronic Positive Response can now be made through the Notification Center starting January 1st, 2018. However, DigAlert will begin offering this service starting November 1st, 2017.
This means that members can respond to DigAlert's servers about the marking status of the ticket. DigAlert will then allow the excavator to check the responses through the website, SMS and apps anytime during life of the ticket as well as if the excavator has supplied an email address on the ticket. In addition, DigAlert will email the excavator at the start date and time listed on the ticket a complete status of responses, if the excavator has supplied an email address on the ticket.
+Response through the center IS NOT REQUIRED. This means that not all members will choose to utilize this service at this time. Members may choose to respond to the center, respond directly to the excavator or both.
Once a ticket is created, it is sent out to all utility members who asked for notification in that area. As members clear or respond to the site they can then send a response back to DigAlert with information about what was completed. For example; "locate area marked", "no access to area", "clear - no conflict", etc. DigAlert will store that information with the ticket along with a date & time stamp. Members can make multiple responses to the same ticket however responses can't be edited or deleted. This means that all responses will show with their corresponding date and time.
For the member, +Response is an effective means of reducing the number of retransmits that they receive because the excavator saw no markings at the dig site.
For excavators, +Response provides them with information about the member facilities prior to arriving on the job site. If they provided an email address when the locate request was called in they will receive an email confirmation after the start date & time listed on the ticket.
