How A Drug Company Under Pressure For High Prices Ratchets Up Political Activity
By Jay Hancock and Elizabeth Lucas April 30, 2018

This story also ran on Fortune. This story can be republished for free (details).
Business looked challenging for Novo Nordisk at the end of 2016. As pressure mounted over the pharma giant's soaring insulin prices, investors drove its stock down by a third on fears that policymakers would take action, limit prices and hurt profits.
Then things got worse. A Massachusetts law firm sued the company and two other pharma firms on behalf of patients, claiming that high insulin prices of hundreds of dollars a month forced diabetics to starve themselves to minimize their blood sugar while skimping on doses. At least five states began investigating insulin makers and their business partners.
As scrutiny rose, Novo Nordisk engaged in what analysts say is a time-honored response to public criticism. It aggressively ratcheted up spending to spread its influence in Washington and to have a louder say in the debates over drug prices.
The drugmaker's political action committee spent $405,000 on federal campaign donations and other political outlays last year, more than in 2016 — an election year — and nearly double its allocation for 2015, data compiled by Kaiser Health News show.
"We remain committed to being part of the discussion," said Tricia Brooks, head of government relations and public affairs for Novo Nordisk, acknowledging scrutiny over insulin prices but saying the company has many other issues to work on with policymakers. "I don't want us to run away from it and hide or keep our head down and wait for it to roll over."
Novo Nordisk also spent $3.2 million lobbying Congress and federal agencies in 2017, its biggest-ever investment in directly influencing U.S. policymakers, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.
Part of that surge included summoning more than 400 Novo Nordisk employees to contact lawmakers and their staffs on Capitol Hill, "a huge increase from anything we've ever done before," Brooks said.
Taken together, the increases represent a "major corporate policy shift" for the company and appear to be a classic business response to growing political risk, said Kent Cooper, a former Federal Election Commission official who has tracked political money for decades.
The pharma industry as a whole has behaved similarly, cranking up political contributions and lobbying. Meanwhile, despite much talk about change, Congress and the Trump administration have done little to control drug prices or threaten drug-company profits.
Pharma businesses overall made political donations of $12.1 million last year, down from a $13.6 million election-year surge in 2016 but 9 percent higher than the haul for 2015, according to the KHN analysis. Pharma industry lobbying expenses surpassed $171 million last year, the highest level since 2009, during negotiations over the Affordable Care Act, according to CRP.
"It's been hot in the health care arena for — how many years now?" said Steven Billet, who teaches lobbying and PAC management at George Washington University. "Anybody in this world now is sitting there thinking, "When I go back to the board next year, I'm going to ask for 15 percent more in my [lobbying and campaign finance] budget. Because this isn't going away.'"
Like most big corporations, Novo Nordisk runs a political action committee, or PAC, which solicits employee donations and gives the proceeds to political candidates' campaigns. The company is Danish. Only workers who are U.S. citizens or permanent residents are allowed to support the PAC.
Like many PACs, Novo Nordisk spreads money to both parties, concentrating on powerful committee members and other leaders. Since 2013 it has given $22,500 to House Speaker Paul Ryan, a Republican, and $20,472 to South Carolina's James Clyburn, a member of the Democratic House leadership.
Brooks gave the PAC $4,370 last year, the data show. Some employees gave as little as $20 or $30.
The firm's influence-seeking has grown along with its U.S. sales, which went from hundreds of millions of dollars in the early 2000s to some $9 billion last year. Its biggest business is diabetes, including various types of insulin whose list prices have more than doubled in recent years.
The wholesale list price for a vial of Novo Nordisk's Levemir, a long-acting insulin, went from $144.80 in 2012 to $335.70 in January, when the price rose 4 percent, according to Connecture, a research firm.
Even Alex Azar, a former Eli Lilly executive who became Health and Human Services secretary in January, said in his confirmation hearing that "insulin prices are high, and they're too high." Along with Novo Nordisk and Sanofi, Lilly is one of the three big insulin makers under investigation by state attorneys general for price increases that seem suspiciously similar in size and timing.
Sanofi and Lilly both spent more last year on political donations and federal lobbying than Novo Nordisk. Lilly's political spending was $548,100 for 2017, up 12 percent from 2015, the previous off-election year, the data show. Sanofi's was $527,200, down from 2015.
But potential insulin price limits threaten Novo Nordisk more than those companies because diabetes-related drugs account for an exceptionally big portion of its business, analysts said. Several proposals under consideration by Congress could lower insulin prices or limit future increases.
One would allow the Medicare program for seniors to negotiate prices for covered drugs, thus lowering the cost.
Other proposals would make it easier for competing, "biosimilar" alternatives to break through the thicket of patents created by sellers of complex drugs such as insulin. Others would bring more transparency, requiring companies to publish and justify price increases.
None of the proposals has made it out of congressional committees. In the face of inaction by Washington, Novo Nordisk's stock has recovered much of the ground it lost in 2016.
Novo Nordisk rejects suggestions that it coordinated price increases with competitors. So do Sanofi and Lilly.
List prices such as those tracked by Connecture don't reflect what patients or their insurers ultimately pay, said Novo Nordisk spokesman Ken Inchausti. Growing discounts and rebates substantially reduced the reported list price, he said.
Even including discounts, however, the company's net profit margin for 2017 was 34 percent, its highest since at least 2000, when it was half that high.
Official filings show Novo Nordisk lobbyists have been weighing in on numerous measures related to drug prices, including proposals to import less expensive drugs from Canada.
The company lobbies Washington on a wide range of issues including diabetes prevention, budget matters, chronic disease and making obesity an accepted medical disease that insurers will pay to prevent, Brooks said.
But last year's increase in campaign donations and lobbying doesn't look like business as usual for Novo Nordisk, said Billet, a former AT&T lobbyist who directs GWU's Legislative Affairs program.
"I'm not surprised," he said. "They've obviously had some issues recently. This is maybe a predictable enough element in their strategy."

Former Peace Corps Volunteer Embarks on Cross-Country Bicycle Journey; James Houle Hopes to Raise Awareness About Other Cultures
Washington, D.C., April 5, 1999—James Houle, a returned Peace Corps volunteer from New Hampshire, embarks on a six-month bicycle trek across the United States today to raise awareness about other cultures in schools along his route. His journey will begin in Corvallis, Ore., and will take him through Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and Montana. He plans to reach New Hampshire, his destination, in the fall, after a summer stop in Michigan.
"This project was designed to share the knowledge and insight I gained from my Peace Corps experiences in Ghana," Houle said. "The diversity of the world's many cultures is one of its greatest strengths. If global interdependence is to be a reality, we must learn to respect people who are different from ourselves. As communications systems grow, the ability of today's students to function in a growing global community depends on their understanding and appreciation of other cultures."
Houle served as a Peace Corps volunteer in Ghana, West Africa, from 1995-1998, teaching math in a rural community. While there, Houle organized a bicycle trip through Ghana with several other Peace Corps volunteers. Along the way, the volunteers stopped to participate in community service projects.
Houle hopes his visit to classrooms across the country will inspire students to expand their view of the world, and reinforce the values of volunteerism and community service.
Currently, nearly 6,700 Peace Corps volunteers are working in 80 countries to bring clean water to communities, teach children, protect the environment, help start new small businesses, and prevent the spread of AIDS. Since 1961, more than 150,000 Americans have joined the Peace Corps.

Glass and glass are one of the most common materials used in products.
The two have similar properties that allow them to function as both light and insulator.
The primary difference between the two is their shape and the way they reflect light.
When you apply pressure to a glass object, you can see it shatter into shards, but if you apply a lot of pressure to glass it becomes a hard and hard glass.
Glass, however, can be broken into small pieces and can even break apart if you take too much pressure.
To be sure, the glass itself isn't hard or tough, but the way it reflects light causes the shards to break off and fall to the ground.
Because glass is more transparent than other materials, glass products are usually much more effective at reflecting light than they are at reflecting heat.
Glass is the most visible form of light reflecting, but it's actually very thin, which means it has a lot more surface area than other transparent materials.
The surface area of a glass surface is about 0.1 inches.
If you're working on a surface of glass, you'll notice it will look a lot like a surface with the glass surface touching the surface of the glass.
As a result, the surface will appear translucent.
Because of the way that light is reflected off glass, glass surfaces are also generally much more reflective than the rest of the materials in our environment.
Glass also has an unusual surface texture that reflects light in a different way than the surrounding material.
For example, glass can have very flat surfaces, which is what you'll see when working on glass in a factory.
However, if you work on glass, the way the glass surfaces reflects light can also change.
This surface texture can create a glass image that is more like a glass mirror than a glass sheet.
You can also see that a glass pane or panel will appear transparent if you push hard against it.
Glass mirrors, or mirror surfaces, are used in certain industries for the purpose of reducing glare and dust and maintaining good viewing angles.
When people work on a glass display, the reflected light causes them to look a bit like a mirror.
When the glass is broken, the reflection from the shattered glass surface turns to a reflection of the light, which then bounces off the glass and into the eye.
Glass and its reflective properties can be a little tricky to explain, but we'll take a look at some common examples and how it can affect our vision.
Light Reflections on Glass: Glass reflects light differently than other surfaces.
Glass surfaces tend to be much less reflective than glass objects.
For instance, if the glass was cut with a sharp knife, the broken glass would reflect the light from the blade and become a reflection, which would be much harder to see.
However when you break a glass piece, you're breaking a mirror surface, which has a very high surface area, and that reflection can be seen on the mirror surface.
When a glass reflection is visible, the mirror will look much more like the glass than the surface it is mirroring.
When glass is reflected on a mirror, the resulting image of the mirror is almost indistinguishable from the original image of glass.
This reflection is called a mirror image, and it occurs when the reflection on a transparent glass mirror is a reflection on the glass that is reflected from a different mirror.
This is called an optical illusion.
In contrast, glass reflected on the surface is almost invisible.
The reflection can appear even if you are completely still, because glass surfaces tend not to reflect sunlight at all.
This means that you can look through a glass window at a bright star and still see the stars reflected from the window, just like you can with a mirror that is reflecting light.
Glass Reflects Light on a Mirror: When a mirror reflection is in your eyes, you may see the reflection of light in the mirror.
In other words, when you look at a mirror in your eye, you see the reflected image of your own eyes.
But glass mirrors reflect light differently.
Glass mirror images are not as obvious as they are in a glass glass display.
A mirror image is a mirror-like surface that is slightly curved.
This curved mirror surface reflects light, and when you use the mirror to make a photograph of a subject, you will see the light reflected off the surface as if the subject was there in front of the camera.
Glass reflections on a light source like a streetlight or street lamp are very difficult to see because the light is very diffuse.
When we see light reflected from light sources, we perceive it as being in the form of a light beam, which causes us to perceive the light as coming from a distant object.
The light we perceive as coming directly from a light bulb is called the visible light.
The more diffuse the light source, the more diffuse our perception of light becomes.
This phenomenon of refraction, or the tendency for light to refract, also causes light to appear as a shadow.

Dutt at home with family, awaits furlough decision
by Veena January 9, 2015 0916
Mumbai, Jan 9 (IANS) Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt, who went to Yerawada jail in Pune on the end of his 14-day furlough but did not surrender and returned home Thursday, is at home here with his family, awaiting a decision on his request for its extension, his lawyer said.
"The authorities have yet to inform us on his application seeking extension of furlough leave. Till then, he is at home in Mumbai," lawyer Hitesh Jain told IANS.
Dutt, 55, who flew to Pune and went up to Yerawada Central Jail, spent a few hours in the vicinity of the prison and later went away without surrendering though his 14-day furlough had ended.
The ostensible reason was that a government official had said that it was not necessary for him to go back to jail till a decision was taken on his Dec 27 application for extension of his furlough.
He had been granted a 14-day furlough to go home Dec 24.
Before leaving for Pune Thursday, Dutt told media persons that his application for extension of furloug was still under process.
"We made the request for extension the furlough Dec 27 and it is still under process. As the laws stipulate that I must surrender myself if I am not granted the extension, I am doing it now," he had said.
Earlier Dutt was released on furlough in October 2013 for two weeks on health reasons, followed by a similar leave in December 2013 to tend to his ailing wife, Maanyata, attracting charges of favouritism.
Dutt's latest furlough saw him attending a special show of the latest Aamir Khan megahit, "PK", and celeb parties, while exhibiting his new set of eight abs built up in prison.
In February last year, the Bombay High Court had commented on the diligence in granting the actor's requests for furlough which was not visible in case of other convicts who applied for leave.
Dutt was convicted in 2007 for illegal possession of an AK-56 assault rifle during the 1992-1993 Mumbai communal conflagration before the March 12, 1993 serial bomb blasts in the city and sentenced to six years jail. The Supreme Court had upheld the conviction in 2013 but reduced the sentence to five years, less time already served.
Dutt surrendered on May 16, 2013, and was moved to the high-security jail in Pune to serve the remainder of his 42-month sentence.

Q: How to have npm dependencies from different registries in the package.json? In my package.json file I have declared dependencies which one from public registry and second from private registry (Artifactory in this case).
"dependencies": {
        "vue": "^2.4.4", //public registry
        "ce-ui": "http://myartifactory.com/artifactory/npm-local/ce-ui/-/ce-ui-0.0.2.tgz"
      }

I'm looking for way to declare dependencies using caret or tidle e.g.
 "dependencies": {
    "vue": "^2.4.4",
    "ce-ui": "^0.0.2"
  }

Thank you in advance.

A: I recommend you to have a virtual repository in your Artifactory with two repos:

*

*Remote repo with the external repo or public registry. Probably you have this URL in your registry.

*Local NPM repo (your actual local repo).

Then:

*

*Replacing the default registry with your new local repository with this command:
npm config set registry http://<ARTIFACTORY_SERVER_DOMAIN>:8081/artifactory/api/npm/your-npm-virtual-repo-name

*Deploy your packages to Artifactory. The first time you can upload the artifacts to artifactory manually or using this command in every project:
npm publish --registry http://<ARTIFACTORY_SERVER_DOMAIN>:8081/artifactory/api/npm/your-virtual-repo-name

*Remove links in your package.json and replace with only the dependency name and version like:
"dependencies": {
  "vue": "^2.4.4",
  "ce-ui": "^0.0.2"
}

More info here:

*

*how to setting up artifactory for use with node js artifacts?

*Npm Registry with Jfrog Artifactory

A: To have dependencies from different registries referred in same package.json, npm recommends to use scope
Scoped packages will look like
"dependencies": {
  "@myorg/mypackage": "^1.3.0"
}

You can associate a scope with a registry using npm config:
npm config set @myorg:registry http://reg.example.com

Once a scope is associated with a registry, any npm install for a package with that scope will request packages from that registry instead of default registry https://registry.npmjs.org

in the rules it indicates that when a planet with life is collided to ascend of level, the life is put in basic level (bacteria). I think we do it badly in my group, because we leave it lifeless. this is true? Thanks!
You put it back to bacteria, yes.
Am I right in thinking that this only occurs if a terrestrial body is used to collide?
i.e., if a terrestrial body (without atmosphere/ water) has bacterial life, and a comet is collided with the body, the bacterial life is not destroyed (in addition to creating atmosphere/ water)?
Life can not be removed once placed on a terrestrial body, no matter the type of impact it undergoes in the future. It can only be reset to the most basic level.


A guide for writing a proper document to notify the media about your book.
A press release is an important ingredient to any marketing plan. When properly prepared, a press release informs the media of your book which may result in media coverage in newspapers, magazines, radio interviews, etc.
You may submit your press release to the news media by email or postal service. It is important to direct your release to the appropriate person and never to a department. Improperly addressed releases will more than likely be discarded. The Internet News Bureau has an email press release service with a database of thousands of media sources. For more information on this service visit http://www.internetnewsbureau.com. Below is a sample press release to help get you started.
City, State / Province, Date.
(These paragraphs should contain information in the form of a regular news story; who, what, where, when, and why. You should also outline the major benefits of your book and what makes your book unique. Including quotes from other book reviewers adds more weight and credibility to your release).
Remember, your press release is not an ad to sell your book, but instead, an information package to generate interest in the media.
Your release should not exceed 500 words in length.
Avoid excessive use of adjectives and stick to ordinary language.

Q: Ansible - omit parameter in list of dictionary I know about the omit filter but I'm not able to get to work when it's in a list of dictionaries.
I want it so that if for example, the published_port variable is not defined then the publish parameter is omitted
- name: test
  community.docker.docker_swarm_service:
    name: myservice
    image: alpine
    publish:
      - published_port: "{{ published_port | default(omit) }}"
        target_port: "{{ target_port | default(omit) }}"

The error I get is: "missing required arguments: published_port, target_port found in publish". I know it's something to do with it being a list but not sure how to get around this issue.

A: This happens because, when your two variables are both undefined, you end up creating a list with one empty element. But what you should really do in this case is to omit the whole published parameter.
You can achieve this thanks to a inline if expression, assessing if both variables are undefined, ending up omitting the whole parameter.
Here would be an example playbook:
- hosts: localhost
  gather_facts: no

  tasks:
    - set_fact:
        docker:
          name: myservice
          image: alpine
          publish: >-
            {{
              [{
                'published_port': published_port | default(omit),
                'target_port': target_port | default(omit)
              }]
              if published_port is defined or target_port is defined else omit
            }}

    - debug:
        var: docker

Mind that I am defining neither published_port nor target_port in this playbook.

*

*Now, if I run it like that, I will get the recap:

Delhi HC to hear minor girl's plea for termination of her 16-week pregnancy
The court will hear the matter Wednesday.
The girl's mother has pushed the petition with the help of advocate Amit Mishra wanting pregnancy termination at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) without reporting it to the local police as it would bring social stigma, ostracisation and harassment not only to the minor but also for the entire family.
However, reporting the matter is mandatory to the local police under the POCSO Act.
According to the plea, the Medical Termination of Pregnancy Act allows for the termination of a pregnancy up to 20 weeks if the registered medical practitioner believes that the woman's life would be in grave danger or that her physical or mental health would suffer significantly as a result of carrying the pregnancy to term.
As per the ultrasound report of January 6, 2023, the pregnancy, in this case, is of 15 weeks and four days, the petition stated.
The plea also made reference to a recent Supreme Court decision that exempts registered medical professionals from Section 19 of the POCSO Act's requirement that they disclose a minor's pregnancy to the local police if it resulted from consenting sexual activity.

"There Won't Be Another Now"
The smoke from a distant forest fire adds a bit of color to the horizon of this view of Donner Lake as the sun begins it's descent. If you look closely, you can see a rock climber scaling the cliff which I chose to leave in the image to show a sense of scale.
Whether I'm working in it or simply sitting in it with camera at the ready, waiting rather impatiently for it to pass I do from time to time curse the rain. This year however, the rain & snow has been a blessing to Lake Tahoe. When I first visited the area last year the Lake appeared to be critically low. Although water levels are still low, I have read reports stating that water levels at Lake Tahoe has risen to near full capacity.
A pretty good sized storm making it's way across Lake Tahoe. Although it was late May, this storm brought snow rather than rain.

India Announces Test Firing of Submarine-launched Nuclear-capable Ballistic Missile
User Training Launch from INS Arihant by the Strategic Forces Command demonstrates the credibility of India's Nuclear Triad

INS Arihant: Submarine-based ballistic missile firing capability is a key element of India's Nuclear deterrence
14 October, 2022 by Vishal Thapar
India on October 14 announced the successful test-firing of a Submarine Launched Ballistic Missile (SLBM) from its nuclear deterrence submarine, INS Arihant SSBN in the Bay of Bengal. It was described as a user training launch. An SSBN is a nuclear-powered, nuclear-armed submarine.
"INS Arihant carried out a successful launch of a Submarine Launched Ballistic Missile (SLBM) on October 14, 2022. The missile was tested to a predetermined range and impacted the target area in the Bay of Bengal with very high accuracy. All operational and technological parameters of the weapon system have been validated," the Ministry of Defence declared in a statement.
The statement did not mention details of the missile or the range over which it was tested. The K-15 SLBM is widely reported to have been inducted as an operational weapon on board the INS Arihant. No statement has been made about the induction of the K-4, which has a reported range of 3,500 km. The K series of SLBMs have been initialled after India's best known missile man, the former President APJ Abdul Kalam.
The INS Arihant operates under India's Strategic Forces Command, which is the custodian of India's nuclear weapons.
"The successful user training launch of the SLBM by INS Arihant is significant to prove crew competency and validate the SSBN programme, a key element of India's nuclear deterrence capability. A robust, survivable and assured retaliatory capability is in keeping with India's policy to have 'Credible Minimum Deterrence' that underpins its 'No First Use' commitment," the Ministry of Defence statement added.
The SLBM represents the most assured second strike capability which is aimed at deterring a nuclear attack by an adversary. The undersea leg of the nuclear triad is widely considered the most reliable and survivable instrument of retaliation.
The successful user traiming launch represents the growing maturity of India's nuclear weapons and the credibility of its posture of No First Use.
India's undersea nuclear weapons capability is still very minimalistic. It is based on a sole operational SSBN, the INS Arihant. A second SSBN, the Arighat is reported to be very close to induction. A third nuclear missile boomer is under construction.
The Agni series of ballistic missiles are the principal vectors for the land leg of India's triad. Reports in the public domain have indicated that some frontline fighters of the Indian Air Force have been modified to fire nuclear weapons from the air.

Barack Obama vowed to be for the little man, Mr. Main Street. Too bad the little man doesn't throw $35,000 a plate fundraisers.
And that is why the Average Joe suffers under Barack Obama.
When it comes to wealth inequality in the United States, it looks like 1929. That's because in the late 1920s, the top 10 percent of Americans controlled 84 percent of the country's wealth.
Things got better under Reagan, but we are NOT under Reagan anymore are we? In fact, we are under the anti-Reagan.
So instead of closing the wealth gap, as Reagan did, under Obama, the richest Americans have a share of the country's wealth almost big enough to rival those in the late 1920s.
The study, from Emmanuel Saez of the University of California at Berkeley and Gabriel Zucman of the London School of Economics, uses a greater variety of sources to paint its picture of wealth inequality in the US than other recent analyses, and the what it say is America's overall wealth is being concentrated in fewer and fewer hands.
Forget the 1 percent, because the 0.1 percent is where it's at.
According to an analysis of data sourced through 2012, the richest 0.1 percent of Americans have as much of the country's wealth as the poorest 90 percent. Each group contains 22 percent of the total wealth, with the top 160,700 families having net assets above $20 million.
Still the bottom 90 percent isn't doing too bad, with an average worth of $84,000. Regardless, this group is being squeezed, since they are making modest gains at best, but have soaring debt due mainly to the mortgage crisis.
And the news gets even better for the 0.01 percent. Because of the 22 percent total wealth held by the 0.1 percent, 11.2 of that percentage is with the o.01 percenters. A group of roughly 16,000 families with an average net worth of $371 million holds the largest percentage of wealth since 1916, the highest on record, according to the study.
"By that metric, wealth is ten times more concentrated than income today," the authors write in their study.
Obama has been fantastic for the poor, right? If only they had jobs, and not EBT cards. One might think that the Fed relies on the poor.

ICE officials in hot water for calling Omar a 'Trojan horse'
By Mary Kay Linge and Laura Italiano

Rep. Ilhan Omar Reuters
Trump moves to limit eligibility for Central American asylum-seekers
Number of migrants arrested on southwest border dips for first time in 2019
Border Patrol bigotry is a crisis all its own
Feds plan to deport 1 million illegal immigrants: Trump official
Senior Department of Homeland Security officials are in hot water for a post calling controversial freshman Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) a "Trojan horse" on social media.
The post shared by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent Leslie Derewonko also said Omar, who is Muslim, came to the US amid a "refugee outbreak" under former President Barack Obama.
"And this is what represents America?" the post stated.
Jerry Templet, a top official at Homeland Security Investigations in San Francisco, liked the post. His online accounts are also being scrutinized, ABC News reported Saturday.
ICE does not have a social-media policy for employees, but the agents may have violated DHS's code of conduct.
"If they ever have a defendant that is Muslim, they could say, 'ICE is biased against me,'" a former ICE official told BuzzFeed News, which first reported on the agents' social media activity. "They could introduce that in the trial."
The post that Derewonko shared included video taken from a recent interview in which Omar, who was born in Somalia and came to the US as a refugee, mentioned a "terrorism class" that she took "in college."
Some critics have sought to portray those comments in an ominous light. The political science department of North Dakota State University, where Omar earned her bachelor's degree, offers a three-credit class focusing on the history, tactics and motivations of terrorist groups.
She has come under fire for a Feb. 27 comment suggesting lawmakers and activists who support Israel hold "allegiance to a foreign country."
Last month, Omar also suggested the pro-Israel lobby AIPAC was buying off politicians, though she eventually apologized.
The House of Representatives last week passed a kitchen-sink resolution broadly condemning bigotry of all types—after Speaker Nancy Pelosi failed to unite her caucus behind a measure condemning anti-Jewish hatred alone.
And now even liberal commentator Bill Maher thinks that Omar "might be" anti-Semitic.
The unabashedly politically-incorrect television host previously defended the contentious congresswoman, but on Friday night began to waver.
"First of all, I'm a free speech person. I believe you're allowed to criticize Israel without being an anti-Semite," Maher said, according to Fox News.
"Having said that, I've read some of her other tweets… She might be. I don't know what her thoughts are on this."
Last month, Maher questioned why Omar's tweets were seen as anti-Semitic.
"If I criticize Saudi Arabia, that doesn't mean I'm an Islamophobe," he said.

Middle-aged adults who are lonely have an elevated likelihood of death. Systemic inflammation may contribute to these increased odds. Using population-level data, this study tested if systemic inflammation is associated with loneliness in a broad age range of middle-aged adults in the United States.
This study used data from the Midlife in the US (LIDUS) survey Biomarker Project, which collected data on psychological, social, and physiological measures from a sample of middle-age adults. Biomarkers were obtained from a fasting blood sample. Self-reported loneliness was categorized as feeling lonely or not feeling lonely. Hierarchical regressions examined the association between biomarkers of systemic inflammation (interleukin-6, fibrinogen, C-reactive protein) and feeling lonely, adjusted for covariates.
Twenty-nine percent of the sample reported feeling lonely most or some of the time. There was a positive significant relationship between loneliness and the three systemic inflammation biomarkers after controlling for covariates. The conclusion was that feeling lonely is associated with systemic inflammation in middle-aged community dwelling US adults.

GCC concern over 'missing' Iranian nuclear device
November 25, 2016 at 3:30 pm | Published in: GCC, IAEA, International Organisations, Iran, Middle East, News
Following the revelation that a nuclear device at Iran's Bushehr nuclear power plant is missing, Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries have contacted the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to discuss the potential threats that may arise as a result.
The GCC member states have jointly expressed particular concern over whether the missing device could pollute water supplies and the atmosphere in the region, an official told Asharq Al-Awsat.
Dr Adnan Al-Tamimi, the Chairman of the GCC Emergency Management Centre, expressed his concern to the Saudi-owned newspaper over the missing radioactive device. According to reports, the car that was carrying the device was stolen; when it was found, the device was missing.
Al-Tamimi explained that the device has an estimated nuclear half-life of 74 days. This means that security measures need to be in place in case it was stolen with the intention to smuggle it out of the country.
"The low safety and security levels at the Iranian nuclear site and the absence of overall transparency in Iran's nuclear programme have to be a concern," he added.
Iran has long been lambasted by the GCC and other major powers for a suspected nuclear weapons programme. Tehran insists that its nuclear ambitions are peaceful, yet the GCC, especially Saudi Arabia, perceive Iranian ambitions as a threat to regional stability, security and prosperity.

Q: How to call derived class method from base class pointer? I have a class structure similar to the following
class A
{
public:
    A(void);
    ~A(void);

    void DoSomething(int i)
    {
        std::cout << "Hello A" << i << std::endl;
    }
};

class B : public A
{
public:
    B(void);
    ~B(void);

    void DoSomething(int i)
    {
        std::cout << "Hello B" << i << std::endl;
    }
};

class Ad : public A
{
public:
    Ad(void);
    ~Ad(void);
};

class Bd : public B
{
public:
    Bd(void);
    ~Bd(void);
};

I want to store instances of the derived classes in a container (standard map) as a collection of A*, then iterate through the container and call methods for each instance.
#include "A.h"
#include "B.h"
#include "Ad.h"
#include "Bd.h"
#include <map>
int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
    std::map<int,A*> objectmap;
    objectmap[1] = new Ad();
    objectmap[2] = new Bd();

    for (std::map<int,A*>::iterator itrobject = objectmap.begin();
         itrobject!=objectmap.end(); itrobject++)
    {
        itrobject->second->DoSomething(1);
    }
    return 0;
}

The above code produces the following output.
Hello A1
Hello A1

Where I was expecting
Hello A1
Hello B1

because I was expecting DoSomething in B to hide DoSomething in A, and because I am storing A pointers, I would expect no object slicing (and looking at the object pointer in the debugger shows that the object has not been sliced).
I have tried down casting and dynamic casting the pointer to B, but it slices away the data members of Bd.
Is there any way to call B::DoSomething without casting the pointer to Bd? And if not, if I have many derived classes of B (e.g. Bda, Bdb, Bdc etc), is there some way to use RTTI to know which derived class to cast it to?

A: You need to make DoSomething() a virtual function in both classes to get the polymorphic behavior you're after:
virtual void DoSomething(int i) { ...

You don't need to implement virtual functions in every sub class, as shown in the following example:
#include <iostream>

class A {
    public:
        virtual void print_me(void) {
            std::cout << "I'm A" << std::endl;
        }

        virtual ~A() {}
};

class B : public A {
    public:
        virtual void print_me(void) {
            std::cout << "I'm B" << std::endl;
        }
};

class C : public A {
};

int main() {

    A a;
    B b;
    C c;

    A* p = &a;
    p->print_me();

    p = &b;
    p->print_me();

    p = &c;
    p->print_me();

    return 0;
}

Output:

I'm A
  I'm B
  I'm A

Q: How do I take two user inputs (Subject Grade and Units) and store it in two different arrays? I want the program to prompt the user in entering their grade and the unit for that subject. Using nested for loops, I wished to simultaneously get this 2 input simultaneously per subject:
    Scanner userInput = new Scanner(System.in);

    //Initializing variables and array

    double[] userGrades = new double[10];
    double[] userUnits = new double[10];

    int subjectCounter = 1;

    // Nested for Loop to get each grade and units per subject
    for(int i = 0; i < userGrades.length; ++i){

        System.out.println("\nEnter your grade for Subject " + subjectCounter + ": ");
        userGrades[i] = userInput.nextDouble();

        subjectCounter++;

        for(int j = 0; j <= i; ++j){
            System.out.println("Enter the number of units:");
            userUnits[j] = userInput.nextDouble();
        }
    }

The output for this prompt is:

Enter Grade for Subject 1:
Enter Unit for Subject 1:
Enter Grade for Subject 2:
Enter Unit for Subject 2:
...

When I check the elements of userGrades[], it outputs the grades of every subject which is what I want. But when I check the elements of userUnits[], it outputs 9 zeroes, and the last number I typed for "Enter Units for this Subject: " (which is in Subject 10).
Why do userGrades[] store the correct elements while userUnits[] does not? I need help as I just started learning nested for loops and arrays.

Георгий Макропедий (, при рождении Йорис ван Ланквелт (); 1487—1558) — нидерландский гуманист, писатель и педагог.

Биография
Макропедий родился в 1487 году (предположительно 23 апреля) в городе Гемерт (в современной провинции Северный Брабант) под именем Йорис ван Ланквелт. О его юности не сохранилось почти никаких сведений. После нескольких лет посещения Гемертской церковной школы, где он обучился чтению, письму, пению и наверняка азам латыни, в 9-летнем возрасте он отправился в город Хертогенбос для продолжения своего обучения при латинской школе. Там он жил в одном из домов братьев общинной жизни, приверженцев Просвещения. В 1502 году, в возрасте 15 лет, Йорис ван Ланквелт стал членом объединения общинных братьев. Там он готовился к службе священником и учительствованию. Через десять лет его посвятили в священнослужители, и он начал свою практику работы учителем в латинской школе города Хертогенбоса. В эти годы (1506—1510) он уже начал писать учебники латинского языка и пьесы на латыни. Первые черновики его пьесы «Азот» (Блудный сын) датируются этим периодом. Он взял себе классическое имя, как это было принято среди гуманистов XIV века. Имени Йорис соответствует греческое Георгий, а ван Ланквелт было преобразовано в Макропедий.

Приблизительно в 1524 году он был назначен ректором школы святого Херувима в город Льеж. Вместе с некоторыми другими учителями он приложил все усилия для процветания этой школы. В 1527 году Макропедий вернулся в город Хертогенбос, а ближе к концу 1530 году снова переехал в Утрехт (в те времена этот город считался самым крупным на севере Нидерландов). Там он преподавал греческий язык и латынь, предположительно даже и древнееврейский язык, стихосложение, ораторское искусство, математику и теорию музыки. Каждый год он сочинял текст школьной песни и помимо этого обеспечивал музыкальное сопровождение к ней. Кроме того, здесь он написал большинство своих учебников по латинскому языку и пьес, которые в дальнейшем были опубликованы не только в Хертогенбосе, но и таких городах как Антверпен, Базель, Франкфурт, Кёльн, Лондон и другие.

В 1552—1554 годах пьесы Макропедия были переизданы, доработаны, к ним была написана музыка. Это двухтомное издание было выпущено в Утрехте и называлось «Omnes Georgii Macropedii Fabulae Comicae». После чего Макропедий издал только одну пьесу под названием «Jesus Scholasticus».

В 1557—1558 годах, достигнув семидесятилетнего возраста, он вышел на пенсию с должности ректора утрехтской школы святого Херувима. Покинув город, он вернулся в Брабант.

Педагог умер в июле 1558 от чумы во время её эпидемии, находясь в доме братьев общины в Хертогенбосе. Похоронен в здании церкви Фратерскерк. После его смерти благодарные ученики воздвигли для него там гробницу. Гробница и роспись на ней, как и сама церковь, не сохранились.

Работы

Макропедий опубликовал десятки учебников, среди которых числится знаменитая Epistolica (1543). Книга об искусстве написания писем и риторики. Книга эта впервые была издана в 1543 в Антверпене. Впоследствии в таких городах как Базель, Диллинген, Франкфурт-на-Майне, Хертогенбос, Кёльн и Лейден её издавали под названием Methodus de Conscribendis Epistolis. В то время книга эта стала учебником во многих школах Нидерландов, Германии и Англии. Истории известны 36 её самостоятельных изданий. В 1576 г. появились и английские издания. Безусловно, и Шекспир, друг и соотечественник, который работал над очередным Лондонским изданием этой книги, ознакомился с ней, а также книгоиздатель Ричард Филд, у которого жил Макропедий, сделал возможным выпуск первого издания книги. Последнее издание этого учебника датируется 1649 (Лондон), через 160 лет с момента появления первого издания.

Учебники, написанные Макропедием, свидетельствуют о том, что он был великим гуманистом и верным наследником идей Эразма Роттердамского. Он знал все о семи свободных искусствах и трех языках (латынь, греческий и древнееврейский). Он хорошо был ознакомлен с латинской и греческой литературой, с Библией и с богословской литературой. Многочисленные переиздания его работ в Нидерландах, Германии, Франции и Англии свидетельствуют о том, что деятельность Макропедия была на очень высоком счёту у его современников, а также у последующего им поколения гуманистов. Своими учебниками и стремлением к развитию образования как системы Макропедий внес большой вклад в успешное становление гуманистической системы образования в первой половине XVI века. Он безустанно способствовал продвижению греческого языка. И все это не только с целью сделать Библию доступной для чтения, но и с целью изучения классических греческих авторов.

Макропедиус прославился благодаря своим двенадцати пьесам. В Нидерландах и Германии Макропедий был самым продуктивным писателем XVI века.

Andrisca — это комедия о двух хитрых блудницах, которые дерутся со своими мужьями за место хозяина в доме. В конце шестнадцатого века эта же тема получила своё развитие в произведении В. Шекспира «Укрощение строптивой» (The Taming of the Shrew). Bassaurus является настоящим фарсом о вечерии  в период поста. Библейскую тематику, а в частности тему возвращения блудного сына, Макропедий затрагивает в своем произведении Asotus. Произведение это будет сыграно на сценах Тринити-колледжа в Кембридже и Пражского университета. В 1539 появилась самая успешная работа Макропедия — Hecastus. И это обеспечило ему место среди самых значительных создателей пьес в мире. Это произведение представляет собой свободную обработку голландского произведения Elckerlijc на латинский язык. Главное действующее лицо — Hecastus (что в переводе означает «каждый») — состоятельный молодой человек, наслаждающийся благами жизни. В момент, когда он узнает о своей неизбежной близкой смерти, у него не остается никого из друзей, родственников или же просто знакомых, которые были бы готовы помочь ему и отправиться с ним в его последнее путешествие. Это произведение, имевшее большой успех, является шедевром творчества Макропедия. Ещё до окончания шестнадцатого века произведение Hecastus было неоднократно издано, переведено и поставлено на сцене как на латинском, так и на других языках. Истории известны двенадцать независимых изданий, а только немецких переводов этого шедевра — шесть. Один из вышеупомянутых переводов был сделан знаменитым поэтом периода немецкой Реформации, Хансом Заксом. Помимо немецкого, эта пьеса была переведена на датский, нидерландский и шведский. Последний перевод был осуществлен в 1681, через 142 года после первого издания этого произведения. Пьесу несколько раз ставили в Нидерландах. Но большой популярностью она пользовалась прежде всего в Германии. Впоследствии были найдены свидетельства восемнадцати постановок этой пьесы в протестантских частях Германии. Так, пьеса Jedermann в переводе Ханса Закса ежегодно ставилась в Бамбергском соборе и в городе Зальцбург. В 1552 Макропедий публикует второе издание своей пьесы Hecastus. Авторское предисловие которой свидетельствует о в той или иной степени вынужденном характере этого поступка. Возникли подозрения на счёт взглядов гуманиста Макропедия на Реформацию. Ему в вину ставили симпатии к этому движению.

Наследие

Успех Макропедия не ограничивался написанием учебников и пьес. Будучи учителем и ректором в латинских школах в Хертогенбосе, Льеже и Утрехте, он был наставником многих, ставших в будущем влиятельными фигурами в церкви и занявших общественные посты, развивавших науку и искусство, личностей. Среди них были такие, как знаток греческого Арнольдус Арнелиус, языковед Виллем Кантер, преподаватель медицины в Лейденском университете Иоханнес Хёрниус, географ Герард Меркатор, книгопечатник, пользовавшийся успехом в Италии, Лаурентиус Террентинус, а также знаменитый врач Иоганн Вейер, который ещё в 1563 пошатнул всеобщую веру в колдовство и нечистую силу, издав книгу против охоты на ведьм.

По крайней мере ещё полвека после своей смерти Макропедий оставался известной личностью и его имя встречалось в различных обзорных литературных сборниках знаменитостей Германской империи. В 1565, через семь лет после его смерти, группа его учеников в память о своем удивительном учителе и наставнике опубликовала сборник стихов: Apoteosis D. Georgii Macropedii. Лишь в семнадцатом веке Макропедий и его труды постепенно стали предаваться забвению. Его пьесы ставились все реже и реже, а книги его уже практически не переиздавались. Кроме того, его пьесы были написаны на латинском, в то время как поэты и писатели Нидерландской Республики с всевозрастающим самосознанием писали на родном им языке, а именно нидерландском. Через два века, в конце девятнадцатого столетия, Макропедий был вновь обнаружен учёными Бельгии и Германии. В двадцатом веке были изданы многочисленные книги и статьи, посвященные этому гуманисту, его трудам и наследию. В 1972 американский исследователь Томас В. Бест опубликовал в Нью-Йоркской серии Twayne's World Authors Series свою книгу о Макропедие. В последние годы в Европе и Америке публикуется все больше и больше книг и статей. Его пьесы переводятся на нидерландский язык и ставятся на сценах различных театров по всей стране. Также появились переводы его работ на английский, а в Интернете можно найти информацию о Макропедие и его наследии.

Q: At least one cell in a range is not empty I want to check if  specific range (L32,M32;N32;O32;P32;Q32,R32;S32;T32).
If one of the cells is not empty a message should be displayed "FSFV check".
For Each cell In Range("L32:T32")
    If cell.Value <>  "" Then
        MsgBox "Check with CRA if FSFV was performed and notify RA"
    Else

    End If
Next

End Sub

It displays the message eight times but I only want it once.

A: If a Cell in a Range Is Blank...
If you're practicing loops, you could do the following.
Sub Test1()

    Dim ws As Worksheet: Set ws = ActiveSheet ' improve!

    Dim cell As Range

    For Each cell In ws.Range("L32:T32").Cells
        If Len(CStr(cell.Value)) = 0 Then  ' cell is blank
            MsgBox "Check with CRA if FSFV was performed and notify RA", _
                vbExclamation
            Exit For ' blank cell found, stop looping
            ' Or:
            'Exit Sub ' blank cell found, stop looping
        End If
    Next cell

    ' With 'Exit For' you'll end up here
    ' and you could continue with the sub.

End Sub

If not, rather use the following.
Sub Test2()

    Dim ws As Worksheet: Set ws = ActiveSheet ' improve!

    If Application.CountBlank(ws.Range("L32:T32")) > 0 Then
        MsgBox "Check with CRA if FSFV was performed and notify RA", _
            vbExclamation
    End If

End Sub

Hardly Related But Interesting
If you were wondering what happens to an object-type Control variable (in this case cell) in a For Each...Next loop when the loop has finished uninterrupted, the following example proves that it is set to Nothing.
Sub Test3()

    Dim ws As Worksheet: Set ws = ActiveSheet ' improve!

    Dim cell As Range

    For Each cell In ws.Range("L32:T32").Cells
        If Len(CStr(cell.Value)) = 0 Then Exit For
    Next cell

    If Not cell Is Nothing Then
        MsgBox "Check with CRA if FSFV was performed and notify RA", _
            vbExclamation
        Exit Sub
    End If

    MsgBox "Continuing...", vbInformation

End Sub

A: How about :
Sub Test()

Dim AnyData As Integer

AnyData = WorksheetFunction.CountA(Range("L32:T32"))

If AnyData = 0 Then
    Exit Sub
    Else
    MsgBox "Check with CRA if FSFV was performed and notify RA"
End If

End Sub

A: Let me give you the simplest approach:
Dim Found As Boolean
Found = False
For Each cell In Range("L32:T32")
    If cell.Value <> "" Then
        Found = True
    End If
Next
If Found Then
    MsgBox "Check with CRA if FSFV was performed and notify RA"
End If

As you see, the fact that you have found an empty cell is kept in a Boolean variable, and afterwards you just use that information for showing your messagebox.
