Source Title: Modern Technologies in Web Services Research
With the dramatic expansion of global e-markets, companies collaborate more and more in order to streamline their supply chains. Small companies often form coalitions to reach the critical mass required to bid on large volume or wide ranges of products. Meanwhile, they also compete with one another for market shares. Because of the complex relationships among companies, controlling the access to shared information found in e-markets is a challenging task. Currently, there is a lack of comprehensive access control approaches that can be used to maintain data security in e-markets. We propose to integrate several known access control mechanisms such as role-based access control, coalition-based access control, and relationship driven access control into an e-market access control model (EMAC). In this chapter, we present a Web services-based architecture for EMAC and the associated concepts and algorithms. We also illustrate, via an automotive e-market example, how the EMAC model can support e-market access control.


The MRI uses a powerful magnetic field, radio frequency pulses and a computer to produce detailed pictures of organs, soft tissues, bone and virtually all other internal body structures. The images can then be examined on a computer monitor, transmitted electronically, printed or copied to a CD. MRI does not use ionizing radiation (x-rays).
Detailed Magnetic Resonance images allow physicians to evaluate various parts of the body and determine the presence of certain diseases.
Evaluating the anatomy and function of the heart chambers, valves, size and blood flow through major vessels, and surrounding structures such as the pericardium (the fluid-filled sac that surrounds the heart).
MRI uses strong magnets, so you'll be asked to remove your watch, jewelry and other metal objects.
Most MRI tests take 30 to 60 minutes. Allow yourself extra time to check in.
In general, metal objects used in orthopedic surgery pose no risk during MRI. If there is any question of their presence, an x-ray may be taken to detect and identify any metal objects.
Patients who might have metal objects in certain parts of their bodies may also require an x-ray prior to an MRI. You should notify the technologist or radiologist of any shrapnel, bullets, or other pieces of metal which may be present in your body due to accidents. Foreign bodies near the eyes are particularly important. Dyes used in tattoos may contain iron and could heat up during an MRI, but this is rarely a problem.
You will know when images are being recorded because you will hear an feel loud tapping or thumping sounds when the coils that generate the radio frequency pulses are activated. Some centers provide earplugs, while others use headphones to reduce the intensity of the sounds made by the MRI machine. You will be able to relax between imaging sequences, but will be asked to maintain your position without movement, as much as possible.
A radiologist, who is a physician specifically trained to supervise and interpret radiology examinations, will analyze the images and send a signed report to primary care provider or referring physician, who will share the results with you.

Тара́ви́х ( — перерыв, отдых, передышка) — желательный намаз, который совершается в месяц Рамадан после обязательной ночной молитвы (иша) и длится до появления зари. После таравиха выполняется витр-намаз. Молитва таравих совершается как индивидуально, так и коллективно.

Слово «таравих» — множественное число от арабского слова «тарвиха», что в переводе на русский язык означает «отдых». Молитва называется так потому, что после каждых её четырёх ракаатов молящиеся сидя отдыхают, восхваляя Господа или слушая назидания имама.

Порядок совершения

Во времена пророка Мухаммада таравих совершался из 8 и 20 ракаатов, однако таравих, состоящий из двадцати ракаатов, был окончательно утверждён халифом Умаром с согласия сахабов. Согласно мнению 4 суннитских мазхабов, молитва таравих совершается в 20 ракаатов (10 молитв по 2 ракаата). В арабских странах таравих длится, как правило, около двух часов. Ежедневно во время намаза читается один джуз (1/30 часть) Корана. Таким образом, в течение одного месяца Рамадана участники таравих-намаза прочитывают Коран полностью.

Молитва таравих совершается каждый день в течение всего месяца Рамадан после ночной молитвы (иша) и заканчивается перед намазом витр. По ханафитскому мазхабу возмещение пропущенной молитвы таравих недействительно.

Молитвы между таравихами

Во времена сподвижников пророка Мухаммада, после каждых четырёх ракаатов делался небольшой перерыв, в течение которого совершалось восхваление и поминание Аллаха или читалась короткая проповедь.

Шафиитский мазхаб
В шафиитском мазхабе между таравихами принято читать следующие молитвы:

Ханафитский мазхаб
В ханафитском мазхабе между таравихами принято читать следующие молитвы:

Хадисы о таравихе
 «Кто выстаивает молитву в месяц Рамадан с верой [в её значимость] и ожиданием вознаграждения [за неё только от Господа], тому будут прощены предшествовавшие грехи».
 «Пророк Мухаммад в 23, 25 и 27-ю ночи месяца Рамадан совершал эту молитву совместно со своими сподвижниками в мечети. Он не делал этого ежедневно, чтобы люди не восприняли данную молитву как обязательную; чтобы она не перешла в ранг обязательных (фард). Вместе с ними он читал восемь ракаатов, остальные ракааты они дочитывали дома».

Nathan Grayson
Aliases @Vahn16
Occupation Video game journalist
Affiliations Kotaku, Rock Paper Shotgun
Nathan Grayson is a former contributor[1][2] for Rock Paper Shotgun and current contributor for Kotaku. In August 2014 he became embroiled in a controversy regarding allegations of journalistic impropriety when it was revealed that he had entered into an undisclosed romantic relationship[3] with the subject of his coverage, independent game developer Zoe Quinn.

Notable Works
Grayson is most notable for his coverage of GAME JAM, a sponsored "indie" game jam event, which he detailed in an article entitled "The Indie Game Reality TV Show that Went to Hell". This coverage, which primarily focuses on personal conflicts and arguments that derailed the project, focuses heavily on Zoe Quinn, to the point of casting her as the protagonist of the struggle of the "indie developers" against the corporate machinations of the sponsors and their hired producer.
Overall Themes and Criticism
Grayson primarily tends to focus on issues of sexism in gaming, or content and media that he perceives to be sexist in nature. This is often attributed to a conversion in viewpoint developed while working at Rock Paper Shotgun:
Being here taught me to care about new things, too. I never thought myself openly sexist or racist or homophobic or anything like that before, but I also didn't understand how systemically ingrained many of those mentalities are. Writing about them helped me learn how to be less shitty, helped me become better at caring about other people no matter how different we are. And (sic)anyway, we're all human.
— Nathan Grayson, "I Love You All"[4]
In the same letter, Grayson goes on to acknowledge Jenn Frank, Mattie Brice, Cara Ellison and the site Critical Distance for their contributions to his development as a writer.
A frequent criticism of Grayson is that he applies standards of sexism, or sexist content in a haphazard way, as illustrated by side by side comparison of his coverage. For example, his widely criticized coverage of DOTA,[5] where he asks Blizzard game director, Dustin Browder several loaded questions including, this infamous one:
You have some interesting alternate outfits for heroes. Roller Derby Nova, especially, caught my eye. On its own, that's totally fine – just a silly, goofy thing. A one-off. But it got me thinking about how often MOBAs tend to hyper-sexualize female characters to a generally preposterous degree – that is to say, make it the norm, not a one-off at all – and StarCraft's own, um, interesting focus choices as of late. How are you planning to approach all of that in Heroes?
— Nathan Grayson, Blizzard On Heroes Of The Storm, Female Designs In MOBAs
Prominent Youtube personality TotalBiscuit criticized the above question, as well as other aspects of the games media in a video entitled "I will now ramble about games media for just under 30 minutes". Pointing out that very premise that "MOBAs" as a genre "tend to hyper-sexualize female characters" is not a widely held view or accepted as fact, and instead Grayson was engaging in a form of Begging the question in order to state his own belief as fact.
The above article and subsequent criticism can be contrasted with Graysons coverage of another Blizzard product, Overwatch.[6] Which instead reads directly like a press release touting Blizzards devotion to de-sexualizing female video game avatars despite admissions from Blizzard designer Chris Metzen that they are actually still sexualized:
However, even in the context of Overwatch, which represents a good number of different races, nationalities, and sexes, Metzen admitted that "there's a lot of room for growth." And to be fair, Overwatch's women are mostly super slim and clad in cat suits, so... yeah. (That's not to say they aren't great characters, nor that a game shouldn't have some sexy characters. I just agree with Metzen: there's room to grow.)
For Blizzard, that's definitely a focus going forward. Metzen added:
"Specifically for Overwatch over the past year we've been really cognizant of that, trying not to oversexualize the female characters. I don't know if we oversexualize the male characters. But it's something we're very sensitive to. We want that to be part of who we are, what our brand is. I think [Blizzard president] Mike [Morhaime] talked in a roundabout way to that in his speech [at the start of BlizzCon]. It's something we're very cognizant of. We want girls to feel kick-butt. Equally represented."
— Nathan Grayson, With Overwatch, Blizzard is trying to do Women Characters Better
Many readers have blogged speculation about if the overall change in tone shows favortism to Metzen as opposed to Browder, or if Grayson was deliberately trying to moderate his reporting after the outcry following his DOTA interview.
Other Industry Work
Nathan has been a quality assurance tester or play tester on some minor video games[7] such as "Arcade America", "Disney's Timon & Pumbaa's Jungle Games", "Peter and the Wolf" and Zoe Quinn's "Depression Quest".[8]
Alleged Conflicts of Interest
Dierdra Kiai
On July 25, 2014, Nathan Grayson writes an article about GaymerX convention, in it he admits he has a friendship with the game developer Dierdra Kiai.[9] He links to Deidra's website in which his games can be purchased.
On April 1, 2014, Nathan Grayson interviews Dierdra Kiai.[10] Grayson delivers a glowing profile of Kiai as well as providing a direct link to the product storefront for Kiai game "Dominique Pamplemousse".
On July 17, 2014, Nathan Grayson makes a video interview with a many indie developers from GaymerX, Dierdra is part of this group.[11]
No mention of Grayson's relationship to Kiai or any sort of disclaimer is given in either of the two articles.
Robin Arnott
It is known that Grayson and Robin Arnott were friends with each other dating back as far as March, 2013.[12][13][14] The following articles were written all by Grayson, either profiling Arnott or his work in a positive light, or using him as a quote and plugging his products without disclosure of their friendship:
"I Nearly Passed Out In Public Playing A Video Game, And It Was Amazing" (March 4, 2014) - Direct profile of Arnott and his product Soundself.
"Kinect Failed, But That Doesn't Mean Cool Game Controllers Are Dying" (May 27, 2014) - Another plug for Arnott and Soundself towards the end.
"Does E3 Still Matter?" - Another plug for Arnott and Soundself towards the end.
"The Best Violent Moments In Video Games" (May 27, 2014) - Another small plug for Arnott and Soundself towards the end.
"The Best Non-Violent Moments In Video Games" (June 30, 2014) - Just a mention of Arnott, no overt shilling of Soundself or Antichamber and no links to either.
"The Indie Game Reality TV Show That Went To Hell" (March 31, 2014) - Arnott is relevant to the coverage, but gets a direct link to his product in this article where as in other articles, you had to click through another article[15] by Chris Person to get to a storefront.
All of the above coverage and plugs came out within a span of 3 months.
Zoe Quinn
Nathan Grayson has been friends with Zoe Quinn since at least June 2012.[16] In this Twitter Status Nathan can be seen promoting Quinn, talking about hanging out with her, and engaging in what appears to be flirting.
Furthermore, Quinn and Grayson, acompanied by fellow journalist Jared Rosen, went on a road trip to Las Vegas together[17] on April 2, 2014.[18]
It is worth noting that Kotaku Editor-in-Chief Stephen Totilo claims that it's been his long standing policy that reporters recuse themselves from covering subject they are close to[19] and if they must report on them, then they should give full disclosure.[20]
Despite this policy, Nathan Grayson did not recuse himself from any coverage of Zoe Quinn at Kotaku or ever disclose any sort of friendship with Zoe Quinn. In fact, it appears that it wasn't until the greater scandal around "The Zoe Post" erupted that Totilo became aware that anything could potentially be amiss.
During the period of time that it is known that Nathan Grayson was at least close friends with Zoe Quinn, he wrote the following articles:
"Admission Quest: Valve Greenlights 50 More Games" - Leads, highlights, and tags "Depression Quest" including a link to the Steam storefront.
"The Indie Game Reality TV Show That Went To Hell" - Zoe Quinn is the central protagonist of the article, with Grayson friend Robin Arnott playing a supporting role. Includes links to the products of both individuals.
It is worth noting that the "GAME JAM" piece contains this relevant passage by Zoe Quinn:
"I want to run a game jam. I'd love to have the LPers do what they're so often so brilliant at and bridge the gap between the games and the audience, and do it super low-tech, low-budget, documentary style. Capture the inspiration, the hard work, the 3 AM delirium and the dumb jokes that come with it. Show people how we all band together and support each other through the deadline. That's what I want to show the world about game jams. That's the ambassador I'd rather be."
— Zoe Quinn
The domain for Quinn's Rebel Game Jam was registered one day after this quote and relevant article went to print.[21]
Allegations of Plagiarism
On July 29, 2014 Grayson published an article entitled "Your Favorite Elder Scrolls Character Probably Died A Horrible Death" that was primarily sourced from an Imgur post[22] by a user "St41n3dCl4ss". While in the article Grayson wrote, "St41n3dCl4ss" was cited as a source, that source in turn was actually an English translation of a French article by Corentin Lamy.[23][24] However, despite the citation, which was attributed incorrectly, the article itself is primarily a verbatim copy with some minor reformatting. This type of quotation in the long form, while an increasingly common part of Kotaku's coverage, is considered plagarism[25] due to the lack of additional original work in the piece.
Kotaku Investigates Allegations and Reforms Internal Policy
On August 20, 2014, Kotaku Editor in Chief Stephen Totilo released a public statement[26] addressing the controversy around Grayson's alleged journalistic lapses. Within it he address only the allegations about the romantic, or sexual relationship on behalf of his reporter. It is also worth noting that despite it being obvious that Nathan Grayson has never reviewed "Depression Quest" this allegation makes it into the official statement, as such:
Nathan has been accused of in some way trading positive coverage of a developer for the opportunity to sleep with her, of failing to disclose that he was in a romantic relationship with a developer he had written about, and that he'd given said developer's game a favorable review.
— Stephen Totilo
Despite Totilo not addressing the impropriety of one of his reporters not recusing themselves from a situation where they have an obvious conflict of interest due to long standing friendships, such as the coverage Nathan did of the "GAME JAM" event, Stephen then goes on to state the following:
Given the information available to us both from Nathan and all sources presented online, I have no reason to believe any further action need be taken. The situation is fraught for all involved, including our readers, whose trust is paramount; inquiry is always welcome.
Several days later on August 26, 2014, Totilo releases another statement[27] where he outlines a minor change in the policy regarding his reporters providing money to their subjects in the form of Patreon contributions and states:
The last week has been, if nothing else, a good warning to all of us about the pitfalls of cliquishness in the indie dev scene and among the reporters who cover it. We've absorbed those lessons and assure you that, moving ahead, we'll err on the side of consistent transparency on that front, too.
It is worth noting that despite no formal ethics policy being forthcoming, several disclosure statements were added to articles on the site around this time.

The unadjusted gender pay gap is the median indvidiual female earnings as a percentage of male earnings. In other words, women who work in Danville, IL Metro Area generally make around 7141% of what men do. Much of that difference is likely due to the number of hours worked (see the Full Time vs Part Time Work chart), occupations chosen (see the Employed by Occupation chart), education, and job experience. Adjusting for each of those factors to see what women with similar qualifications and jobs make compared to men is difficult, but the adjusted pay gap would be more likely to show the difference due to discrimination, difference in ability, or willingness to negotiate pay. For these reasons, differences in the gender pay shown here may be more likely to show the gender ideals in an area than the discriminatory practices. It is also worth noting that the 38% of men and 45% of women ages 16+ that did not have earnings were not included in the calculation.
To classify as unemployed, people must not be in the military and must be actively looking for work (also known as the U3 measure of unemployment which is the official unemployment rate).

PROBLEM WEED: While not many annual weed species had emerged at the time of flooding, Nebraska's No. 1 problem weed, marestail, can emerge in fall or early spring.
Watch for weed seed spread by flooding
Both water and donated hay can transport weed seed, whether it is annuals, biennials or perennials.
Tyler Harris | May 15, 2019
Among the erosion, debris and wreckage left in the wake of major flood events, weeds may be one of the last things growers affected by flooding are concerned about.
However, many species of weed seed still are viable after being carried through floodwaters, and some may have been transported many miles, introducing them to new fields and pastures.
Fortunately, not many annual weed species had emerged at the time of flooding — except for a few winter annuals. This includes Nebraska's No. 1 problem weed, marestail.
"Marestail seeds generally fall on the ground, and it's a parachute kind of structure that can be carried by wind and water," says Amit Jhala, Nebraska Extension weed management specialist. "They fall on the ground and can germinate. That's why we already have a lot of marestail problems this year. Plus, we have a lot of moisture due to flooding and adequate temperature for marestail germination. I've received several calls on how to control marestail in corn and soybean."
However, marestail can germinate in fall and early spring, and some populations can even emerge in summer.
"That's why marestail is difficult to control," Jhala says. "A new population of marestail can emerge nine out of 12 months of the year. It's not just a winter annual, but also a summer annual."
In addition, several marestail populations in Nebraska are resistant to glyphosate and ALS-inhibiting herbicides.
If marestail wasn't controlled by a preplant burndown, Jhala notes there are a few options, although not as effective as upfront control. This includes a postemergence application of dicamba (if growers planted dicamba-resistant soybean or corn).
PPO inhibitors can be used as an earlier postemergence application when marestail is less than 6 inches tall, and Liberty (glufosinate) can be applied in LibertyLink soybean or corn when marestail is less than 4 inches tall.
Fortunately, because of the timing of this year's flood, not many other species of annual weed seeds were likely spread by floodwaters. However, for perennial and biennial species, it's a different story.
"Mother Nature has a way of taking care of herself," explains Gary Stone, Nebraska Extension educator at the Panhandle Research and Extension Center. "Certain weed species can be viable as many as several years to as many as 20 or 30 years. For plants like Canada thistle and purple loosestrife, if the roots would have been dislodged and carried away, they can grow back from the root. Purple loosestrife is generally found in riparian areas and can easily move by plant parts."
Other potential problem weeds include musk thistle, sericea lespedeza, spotted and diffuse knapweed, phragmites, and absinthe wormwood.
In many cases, it likely won't be until later this fall or even next spring that growers will be able to identify them. Certain perennial weed species, such as Canada thistle, are best controlled in fall. The same is true for biennials such as musk and scotch thistles, which will germinate and be in the rosette stage in fall.
However, weeds such as purple loosestrife and phragmites, both perennials found in riparian areas, likely won't be identifiable until next spring.
But it isn't just water that can transport weed seeds. While numerous people and organizations have generously donated hay and forage for those affected by flooding, there is a chance that weed seeds can be brought in with hay from outside the state — as was the case with absinthe wormwood.
"Absinthe wormwood originated in the northern Panhandle," Stone says. "Two years ago, a county weed superintendent identified it on a ranch, and asked the rancher if he had bought any hay from out of state. He said he had bought some from North Dakota. That shipment had absinthe wormwood in it. We're very grateful for other states providing forage for farmers and ranchers affected by flooding, but we've got to be careful we aren't bringing in weeds from out of state."

Philippe Quesne - the man with a microscope
On the 50th anniversary of Tampere Theatre Festival, the audience is immersed in an allegorical world: Night of the Moles takes us underground, to a caveland full of giant moles. Philippe Quesne, the director of the show, often reflects on the relationship between mankind and nature in his works. The scenography is used as an ecosystem where he works and studies small communities under his microscope.
"As in my other plays, I want to immerse spectators in the story, while at the same time showing them that we're fully aware of the way things are made and invented", Quesne says.
In 2003, Quesne created the Vivarium Studio Company which has attended Tampere Theatre Festival twice before (L'effet de Serge 2008 and The Melancholy of Dragons 2009). Quesne received his education in visual arts and stage design. For 10 years he designed sets for theatre and operas. Since his very first play (The Itching of the Wings 2003) he has combined different forms of theatre, image, music and installation in his works. In addition to theatre he creates performances in public spaces and natural sites.
Since 2014 Quesne has been the director of theatre Nanterre-Amandiers, which will bring the caveland to Tampere this year. The ambiguous subterranean world is wide open for our imagination.
"When we dig, we discover caves, vestiges of the past. Our prehistoric past lives alongside nuclear waste. There's something both fascinating and terrible in this loop of human activity", Quesne says.
Quesne's projects have been thought to be based on myths or fables, such as Plato's Allegory of the Cave, but Quesne himself has a different point of view.
"I'm not so much working from a myth as from a few intuitions linked to a certain place. In The Melancholy of Dragons, I used snow to express the extraordinary; the marsh in Swamp Club (2013) was a good metaphor for a place of danger, in mid-water. The cave is a place of dreaming, open to the fantastical, but also ideal for reflecting on the darker and more mysterious aspects of the human."
Quesne says that taking things underground opens up an array of possibilities and fascinating themes relating to our imagination of the subterranean.
"It's a world which evokes the idea of refuge, a burrow, a hiding place or a nuclear bunker, or even a theatre, since theatre is a form of cave art", Quesne says.
You are invited to this magical world in Tampere this summer. Welcome to Caveland!
The text is based on an interview by Marion Siéfert (2015), other material of the group and the website of Nanterre-Amandiers.
Night of the Moles on Friday 10.8. at 19:00 and on Saturday 11.8. at 16:00 on the main stage of TTT.

A man is dead after a standoff with police in Christchurch.
Police were executing a search warrant at a property in the south of the city after police found several firearms.
The 54-year-old man was pulled over by police at 12:30am today in the Richmond Park area, after which a lengthy standoff took place.
"At about 3.40am, police approached the vehicle and discovered the man critically injured with what appeared to be a stab wound. A knife was located in the vehicle," Police Commissioner Mike Bush said in a statement.
It's not known yet if there was any connection to extremism or the recent massacre.
"At this time there is no evidence to suggest this person had any involvement in the attacks of 15 March, however this forms an important part of the investigation.


This project is to finance the latest album of Nige Bray. We want to do some merchandising and of course limited vinyl version of album.
Ladies and jellied eels. I am happy to announce that after a long illness (no details. Recovering nicely) I am back in the studio with Steve Fairway. However. The royalty cheques we have been waiting for a long time have left us having to get day jobs, meaning little time in the studio. It will take forever and money has already dried up. Four songs are finished. Two almost. To save time and money I have spent on a flight to Madrid sept to spend a week finishing it all. Plus I have an amazing deal price wise for CDs, vinyl etc. This is where you come in folks. Crowd funding. It's either that or two more frustrating years. I ain't getting any younger and this is the album I have always dreamed of making. Alas I am of course not on the road anymore, Should you support men's promise a treat. There will be weekly updates and a couple of songs to here. My lovely friend and manager Marta Schroeder will be handling this. So far so good Thus far the title of the album is 'Ghostsong'. Please lend it a good ear and see what you think folks. More very soon.Wishng you a lovely day from Hamburg.
Curently Nige is in the proces of recording in Hamburg. In end of September / beginning of October will be in Cuenca, Spain to finish the album and set all the other arrangements.
Feel free to ask any questions that come to your mind - we will be answering them as soon as possible.
"This song I wrote when I was drunk"
* "This song I wrote when I was drunk"
The only possibility to get this great musician perform only for you in your living room.
You also get Ghostsong cd & limited T-shirt for yourself. Includes travel costs.
Date of gig will be set together with the artist.

Q: Model doesn't learn I am newbie to Machine Learning. For some reason, my CNN doesn't learn at all. I tried on different datasets, but result is the same: loss and accuracy are changing just a little (most likely this is just an inaccuracy). Maybe I configured something incorrectly or did not do something at lot.
The task is to create a lip movement generator based on face photos and audio recordings (supervised learning)
[audio.mp3 + face.jpg] -> [1.jpg, 2.jpg, 3.jpg, 4.jpg, 5.jpg, 6.jpg ... ]

*

*I do normalize input data,

*I set loss function = mean_squared_error

*I set metrics = [accuracy, mean_squared_error]

*I set optimizer = Adam,

*The dataset is large enough to see at least some results = 2000 videos

*The epoch number = 2,

*batch_size = 16

*Learning_rate = 0.001 (default)

The model structure diagram is below. I chose the number of layers and their types at random.
Input frame = face, picture 50x60, channels = 3. Shape = (50, 60, 3)
Input mfcc = numerical coefficients. Shape = (20, 43)
Output: 24 images 50x60
I'm trying to generate output = lips movement (video = many frames) by audio (mfcc) and face image.
Here you are my logs and model structure

With all the talk of Pokemon Go and Red Dead Redemption dominating gaming news it's nice to find something unrelated. What's more, no matter how popular and excellent the mobile and backwards compatible games are respectively, neither could touch GTA 5 Redux for making us go "wow".
Grand Theft Auto 5 has been available on PC for more than a year, but a mod by Josh Romito and his team not only brings it kicking and screaming up to date, it almost presents an all-new experience.
The GTA 5 Redux mod not only dramatically overhauls the graphics, with all-new weather systems and effects, lighting and textures, the game has been enhanced in many ways.
There is a new police system, with a reconfigured wanted system. Officers and the military have also been given new tactics and skills, plus more advanced weapon load outs. There are also female police officers dispatched to your crimes.
Weapons have been upgraded, to be closer to real life counterparts. Bullets are also projectiles, rather than hit instantly as in the main game. Enemies are also tweaked to fight back more effectively, especially in melee.
Population levels have also been reconfigured, with a greater variety of random events happening. The frequency of non-story crimes and police clashes has been ramped up.
There are plenty of other changes too, which are detailed on the mod's homepage at gta5redux.com. The most important statistic though is the date of release, which has been set to 26 August. You'll be able to apply it to your own game (on PC) and see the incredible amount of work and effort put into it then.
We've included the mod's gameplay trailer above, to give you an idea of how good it looks. We've also posted a PC gameplay trailer below of the original, for comparison.
Let's hope Rockstar takes note and sees the potential for a more realistic looking GTA 6.

The audience performed brilliantly
By The Cross-Eyed Pianist | January 16, 2018 January 10, 2018
One of the secondary pleasures of going to live music in concert is "audience watching". Different artists and repertoire attract different audiences (the music of Scriabin, for example, seems to attract a particularly 'unusual' audience…..). The ritual of concert going and the habits of audiences have fascinated and intrigued me since I was a young child when my parents took me to the Proms and concerts at Birmingham Town Hall (where the CBSO was based before Symphony Hall was built).
I love the very palpable sense of "collective listening", that curious vibration in the concert hall when everyone is listening very intently, or when the musician/s creates a remarkably intense connection via his/her performance and the power of the music. At the end of a particularly concentrated performance, one senses the audience uncurling and flexing, like an animal, before exhaling a collective breath and applauding. At a recent lunchtime concert at my local music society, I was amused to observe the reactions of several members of the audience to some rather outré contemporary music which was being performed by a piano and percussion duo. The final piece in the programme, during which the performers alternated between throwing themselves onto the piano keyboard and clapping (including some quite intricate "Pat-a-Cake" clapping patterns), seemed particularly "challenging" for certain members of the audience. Some people shifted uncomfortably in their seats, presumably because they found the music unpleasant or difficult to understand. Another person rested his head on his left hand, feigning boredom or sleep; others lowered their heads or looked down at their laps in embarrassment. Luckily no one walked out, though I suspect a couple of people might have considered doing so. When the piece ended, some of the applause felt like relief, that this curious "musical" experience was over, though in general I felt the applause was given generously, as it always is at my local music society's concerts.
Crowd-surfing is generally not acceptable at a classical music concert…..
I think it's important to be challenged by music and that listening should not necessarily always be a passive activity – though of course a concert can, and should, be a relaxing and enjoyable activity as well. I have experienced sidelong glances from other audience members when I have laughed at the wit of Haydn or Beethoven, or a certain gesture by a performer to highlight a moment of humour in the music. These days I quite regularly cry at concerts, overwhelmed by the music and the emotional experience of hearing it (a friend of mine believes I suffer from Stendhal Syndrome with this regard). Yet the etiquette of the concert hall, a mode of behaviour which developed at the end of the nineteenth century when concert going became more formal, and largely remains so today, can make people feel constrained, obliged to sit in rigid reverential silence for the duration of the performance. It is this etiquette which can also put people off attending classical concerts, and the unwelcoming attitude of some fellow concert-goers, and the conventions of the concert hall – how to behave, in particular when to applaud – can make concert-going a behavioural minefield for the ingenue concert-goer. There is a small contingent of audience members who wish to maintain these conventions and they manifest their antagonism to the more relaxed concert-goer by curious (mostly) passive aggressive behaviour including glaring at the person who accidentally drops their programme or loudly shushing others. Sometimes these are the same people who bellow "Bravo!" at the end of the concert, or start applauding almost before the final note has sounded. All of this behaviour would probably seem very alien to the likes of Mozart and Beethoven, and even Brahms and Tchaikovsky, who were used to a much more rowdy and noisily engaged audience. Somehow we need to find a middle way between the very formal behaviour which still dominates classical concert going and a more relaxed attitude akin to an earlier age which allows people to react spontaneously to what they hear, feel and experience……

Glaucoma is damage to the main nerve of the eye (optic nerve) by the pressure within the eye. The pressure is usually elevated above normal but up to 25% of people with glaucoma will not have elevated pressure in their eye.
Glaucoma can be dangerous to your eyesight and is a leading cause of blindness in those 60 years and older. Estimates show that at least 3 million people in America have the disease and don't even know it. However, with early detection and treatment, blindness and loss of vision can usually be prevented.
The eye makes fluid (aquaeus humor) to give nourishment to parts of the eye without blood supply (cornea and lens). This fluid is leaving the eye through meshworks that put the fluid back into circulation. In glaucoma, these meshworks can become "clogged" or lead to increased resistance for fluid leaving the eye. This can result in a higher eye pressure in the eye, which can cause nerve damage or glaucoma. Other people can develop Glaucoma without pressure rise and some people with elevated pressure never develop glaucoma. The nerve damage, and the detection of that, are done by additional testing beyond a comprehensive eye exam. Usually there are no symptoms from glaucoma until very late in the condition.
The cause of Glaucoma is usually genetic or inherited. Under certain circumstances and when other eye conditions are present, Glaucoma may also develop.
Unfortunately, in the early stages, you often don't have any Glaucoma symptoms or signs of the disease. These glaucoma symptoms manifest themselves at a later time, after some of your vision has been damaged. Early detection and treatment is the key to maintaining your eyesight.

We didn't plan on dressing alike.
BoyGeeding is going to be alright but he gave us a bit of a scare. He didn't do anything to injure himself, but he started to experience severe pain in his left femur. It's hard for a kindergartner to describe the type of pain he is in, but we thought it was a pulled muscle or one of those growing pains. However, it was worst the next morning and despite a great attitude, he really couldn't walk so we took him to the doctor. The doctor ruled out sore muscles or any broken bones but sent us to an imaging facility to get x-rays and an ultrasound and then to a hospital to get a specialized blood test. The kid was a trooper, and I wish I could adequately express how proud I am of his manners as every nurse and technician complimented him on his respectfulness and politeness. In short, he's got a case of toxic synovitis, which isn't anything serious. It's a temporary inflammation of the hip probably caused by a virus. But I'll be honest, despite remaining calm or cautious or what have you, a lot of worse case scenario stuff was going through my head. I'm a prepare for the worst but hope for the best kinda guy.
That kid sure enjoyed being pushed around a wheelchair.
My kids may not be attractive, smart, or athletic, they have my genes to blame for that. But they will be respectful, polite, well mannered, work hard, and have a good attitude – that I can control.
One "silly" goal I had as a parent was that none of my children would cry when getting a shot or having their drawn blood for the first time (other than being a baby and not cognizant of what's going on). Mission accomplished. I work hard at explaining and preparing them for that moment, earning their trust and setting expectations.
He got a little nervous, maybe even a little scared before his x-ray even though we were maybe ten feet away. He needed help with something and the nurse asked if he wanted his mom, but he said, "No, I want my dad." I'll cherish that moment for the rest of my life, kids always ask for their mamas.
This Medieval Italian Man Replaced His Amputated Hand With a Weapon – Archaeologists have found a fascinating puzzle in the shape of a man's remains dating back to medieval Italy. It looks like this guy went through life with a knife attached to his arm, in place of his amputated hand.
First, the pilots put on their own oxygen masks and make sure the air is flowing. Stored in consoles, these typically look more like what fighter pilots wear than the flimsy yellow cups that drop onto passengers. Then they start heading for the ground. People can breathe at around 15,000 feet, but pilots aim to get below 10,000 to be safe. They don't want to push an already damaged airframe into a steep dive, but drop as quickly as possible.
The Southwest pilots landed at 190 miles per hour, about 30 mph faster than a typical touchdown. That's because the pilots engaged the flaps at a lower angle than normal, to better control the damaged aircraft.
A meteorologist was able to analyze weather radar data, and see the reflection of falling metal. Combined with estimated wind speeds, they correctly estimated where those bits would have landed, then went and got them.

Keith I have never disagreed with you more. Your kids are attractive and smart now, the athletic part is up to you, i.e. my kid has no hand to eye coordination but he can run like the wind.
I agree. Your kids are cute and smart, and it's a bonus (due to your influence) that they are so well-mannered.
How cool is it that he asked for his dad. You're right, they always ask for their mamas. That has to be a great Proud Dad moment.

Seattle ArtsLink Join the Conversation. Shape the process.
We live in a community fed by creative vision and individual passion - should be safe to assume the arts are part of our daily diet. But access to the region's expressive outlets: music, dance, visual arts, mixed media, film, theatre, literature and the politics that funds them is not a given. Keeping the arts alive and well requires the constant work of an allied force - people and venues that promise all of us they'll 'sweat the big stuff' to survive and grow.
Noted National Public Radio Arts Reporter, Marcie Sillman, takes to the field and talks with the visionaries and workhorses that make the arts accessible.

The Financial Action Task Force (FATF) has issued 2015 Guidance calling for a "risk-based approach" to virtual currencies. This Guidance follows its 2014 initial Report on virtual currencies. Since FATF's 2014 Report, virtual currencies, the risks associated with them, and the individuals and entities using them have evolved substantially. Law enforcement and regulatory agencies across the world have also become more familiar with, and more sophisticated about virtual currencies.
FATF's 2015 Guidance reflects a sophisticated understanding by FATF's members of virtual currencies and of the risks associated with their use. That is very encouraging; not all virtual currencies function the same way or pose the same risks. Also encouraging, is FATF's emphasis on employing a risk-based approach to AML/CTF risk involving virtual currencies. Many law enforcement and regulatory efforts in the earliest days of digital currency assumed that virtual currencies were inherently unlawful or were only a tool to further criminal activity. The risk-based approach championed by FATF—an approach which specifically points out many lawful, innovative, desirable uses of virtual currencies–acknowledges this important fact.
Criminal enterprises are often early adopters of new technology – often earlier adopters than law enforcement. Virtual currency wasn't exempt from this pattern. But, law enforcement is catching up quickly, as are financial regulators, financial institutions, and other legitimate actors in the global financial system. FATF's latest Guidance is certainly evidence of this.

Q: Django Import-Export User Foreignkey & M2M Import Logic Check Web Logic

*

*A user creates a new Trade object (enters data like Symbol, Broker, Notes, etc.)

*Trade is still empty

*The user creates entries now for this trade (ex. 100 shares @ $5 buy)

If it hasn't hit you yet based on the CSV file that the broker exports this is going to be a super messy procedure where we need to disect a lof of data, match it properly, create new objects, and create multiple new forieng key objects based on newly created objects.
CSV Import Logic
To save time it's better the user just imports trade data their broker provides them. Here's an example site (not my project) that does it as well.
1. Create an Entry class object (user may need to manually make csv file for cleaner data import)
2. find Trade object where Status == Open and symbol == symbol
3. if step 2 == None then create a new Trade class & assign status to open
4. Def & set Set Symbol_Share_Count == 0
5. Increment or Decrease Symbol_Share_Count by shares
6. Once Symbol_Share_Count == 0 close the trade

3. if step 2 retuns a Trade object then..
4. Def & set Set Symbol_Share_Count == "# of total open shares"
5. Increment or Decrease Symbol_Share_Count by shares of newly imported transaction
6. Once Symbol_Share_Count == 0 close the trade

7. At this point the new or found Trade object is done and a new Trade object can be created or found based on the next transaction

Does this logic make sense? Is there a serious issue I am overlooking?
Any feedback is much appreciated!

A: You have a few logical steps during import, but django-import-export provides logical hooks you can use to manage the update of related objects.  The documentation lists all of these.
For example, if you use after_save_instance(), then you can make any logical changes required after the successful persistence of an uploaded object.
You can run the entire import in a transaction if required.
Some other points you may want to consider:

*

*If users import a lot of data, you will be tying up a thread on the webserver, and potentially risking time-outs.  This will be ok for small uploads, but for larger uploads, you will want to run the import asynchronously.  Celery might help here.

*What happens if the import process crashes halfway through?  Can you cleanly rollback? (Transactions will help here).

*What happens if the user uploads the same file twice?  They may well do this if their connection drops.  Will your import process avoid creating duplicates? Think of the logic required to make the process idempotent.  You can write your own logic to skip duplicates

*Are there any ordering concerns?  Does File A need to be imported before File B?

*Will the process handle multiple simultaneously uploads?  Transactions and updates to multiple objects can run the risk of deadlock.
You may want to consider a batch processing framework to address some of the issues above.  In other words, once the file is uploaded, the batch process will handle the import independently of the web server.  This is obviously more work, but will provide a more robust solution.

Today marks the beginning of an interesting art exhibit held at the Rose Issa Gallery on 269 Kensington High Street called Felt Memories by Bita Ghezelayagh. Bita has experience as an architect and art director of several Iranian films. She started working with felt in 2004, designing her own display tunics and capes. For Bita, the canvasses express memories of growing up in Iran living through the revolution in 1979 and the war in Iraq (1980-88). Bita has found herself heavily influenced by post-revolutionary visual popular culture and includes elements such as pictures, metal keys, and Persian phrases that reflect this influence in her work. The exhibition runs until 20th June. For more information visit this website. For a preview of Bita and some of her tunics take a look at this article.

Semantics and Pragmatics
eLanguage Archive
Phonological Data & Analysis
Semantics & Pragmatics is published by the Linguistic Society of America (LSA). Semantics & Pragmatics is a diamond open-access peer-reviewed journal publishing high quality, original, self-contained research articles on the semantics and pragmatics of natural languages. Originally founded as a co-journal of the LSA's eLanguage publishing platform in 2008, Semantics & Pragmatics transitioned to a freestanding journal published by the LSA in 2013. The publication of Semantics and Pragmatics is part of the LSA's larger effort to broaden and expand its publishing operations to serve the entire linguistics community.
While the core target audience of Semantics & Pragmatics is academic linguists, we also publish material by, or of relevance to, philosophers, psychologists, and computer scientists. Papers must include new results of interest to those working in semantics and pragmatics, and must demonstrate clear significance for theoretical development of those areas. Provided the work meets those criteria, we welcome both submissions of papers on core topics in semantics and pragmatics, and submissions of interdisciplinary papers involving work on syntax, phonology, psycho-linguistics, text and corpus studies, discourse and conversation analysis, computational semantics, the lexicon, historical linguistics, cross-linguistic typology, logic, and philosophy of language.
The Semantics and Pragmatics team is committed to full open-access publishing - free to publish, free to access. We believe that any publishing model other than full open-access compromises the free flow of scholarly information to at least some degree. Furthermore, we believe that the adoption of a fully open-access publishing model will lead to a huge reduction in the costs incurred by individual, institutional, and governmental stakeholders, e.g. University Libraries. Semantics and Pragmatics aims not only to be a top quality journal in its own right, but also to serve as an existence proof of the following precept: that a fully open-access publishing model would be both viable and desirable for linguistics as a whole. Read more about the LSA's Open Access Publications program.
Even full open-access publication is associated with costs. Although our costs are well below what would be normal for a typical for-profit scientific journal, external support is vital to develop and streamline our future operations, and to offset operational, production, and hosting costs. To maintain full open-access, the journal relies on financial and infrastructure support from the LSA, and currently receives further support from the University of Texas and MIT. We also rely on the extraordinary and supererogatory voluntary effort of editors and reviewers.
Donations in support of the journal's running and development costs may be made to the LSA's Open Access Publications Fund.
Complete editorial information about Semantics and Pragmatics, as well as information about how to submit a manuscript, is available at here.


The Superior Producer is known as not only one of the most popular dive sites in Curaçao, but also as one of the best dives in the Caribbean as a whole.
Built in 1957, the ship was a simple cargo vessel from the Netherlands. Originally the MV Andromeda, ownership changed hands in 1962 and it came to be known by the name we call it today.
There's not much of a story behind it, it shipped cargo around Europe until it was sold yet again in 1970 and made a voyage to Panama to make a new home port. From there, it would ship cargo between Curaçao and Venezuela.
There are some exciting shipwreck tales out there, and this isn't one of them, but it's worth noting. Toward the end of September in 1977 the Superior Producer was docked at Curaçao Harbor by merchants trying to make some cash on Christmas gift sales. The problem is that they hadn't properly stowed the cargo, so when the crew cast out their lines the ship began to heel.
The crew, not knowing what else to do, started unloading their ill-prepared cargo. Alas, it was too late. the Producer had begun to take on water through portholes which were left open. The Curaçao Port Authority made an attempt at uprighting the ship with the assistance of tugboats, but that didn't work out.
The mission changed from rescue to damage control. Tugboats pulled the cargo vessel out of the port and out of the way. As the ship disappeared the crew made a safe escape and it was placed outside of the harbor as not to prevent future ships from docking in its space.
The ship was full of crates of whiskey. Within days, the wreck was not.
One particularly beautiful thing about the wreck is that it has sat at the bottom of healthy waters and reef for over four decades now. This has given it time to become part of the reef, and it's covered with life.
Sitting at a depth of 33 meters (108 feet), with visibility up to 20 meters (66 feet), this fascinating site has been a favorite of divers ever since it went down, and not just because of the free whiskey. Heading toward the wreck during a shore dive one can explore the drop-off and get to see the ghostly vessel emerge as a big, black shadow in the distance during a roughly ten minute swim out. The shore dive also gives explorers a chance to explore the surrounding reef.
While the site was closed for a while as Curaçao built a new pier it reopened for business shortly after being shut down. Now, divers are back to exploring this mesmerizingly preserved wreck with experienced local guides who can keep them safe as they navigate what can turn out to be a difficult dive.
The wreck is a great hiding place for eels, lobsters, and other creatures that like to take shelter. Swimming about you'll likely see barracuda and turtles around the reefs. Dive shops and guides are to be found all around the wreck site, and they'll let you know the best time to go on any given day. The sheer amount of time that they've been able to explore the site has made many of them top-notch experts on the Superior Producer. In fact, we can recommend a few. Here at the office we're big fans of Curaçao and have met with a lot of the operators in the area, so we can also vouch for the fact that they're really nice folks! Tell them we said hi, and to get you going, enjoy the video below.

Venezuelans vow to continue protests as clashes turn deadly
At least two killed in violent protests as President Maduro severs diplomatic ties with Colombia over Guaido support.
by Mia Alberti
24 Feb 2019 14:35 GMT
Cucuta, Colombia - Violent clashes broke out in Venezuelan border towns killing at least two people, as President Nicolas Maduro blocked aid convoys from entering the country.
Troops loyal to Maduro fired tear gas and rounds of rubber bullets on Saturday at protesters who tried to bring boxes of US-supplied aid across the border, wounding dozens.
Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaido, who is supported by Washington, backed the efforts to import the aid, saying hundreds of thousands of people are in urgent need of food and medicine. Maduro sees the aid as part of a US plot to remove him from power.
At least two people were killed in clashes in the Venezuelan town of Santa Elena de Uairen, close to the border with Brazil.
Throughout the chaotic day, Guaido called on Venezuelan troops to turn against Maduro and join him. Colombian authorities said more than 60 soldiers defected, although most were among the lower ranks of the military.
At the Simon Bolivar international bridge that connects Colombia to Venezuela, the smell of vinegar and tear gas filled the air, as protesters clashed with government forces.
A young man, holding a wet piece of paper over the deep cut above his eyebrow, said he had been hit by a rock.
"I am not going anywhere, I have to stay here," he said.
Constant gunfire
Hundreds of people filled the bridge, standing behind a special forces cordon, a few metres away from the burned carcasses of three aid trucks that tried to enter Venezuela.
The background sound of constant gunfire blended with shouted warnings about the incoming injured and the cries of street vendors who, despite the chaos, still tried to sell cigarettes and ice cream.
Violence began early in the day as petrol bombs, stones, and burning branches flew from one side of the border to the other, where the Venezuela National Guard held off protesters with rubber bullets and tear gas.
Luiz Salcedo, a protester, sat in one of the other two aid trucks that turned back in retreat.
"Nothing will make me give up," he told Al Jazeera from behind a face mask. "We are doing this for our families, who are suffering, who are hungry, unemployed. That gives us special strength to fight, to rescue our country."
The flow of injured seeking assistance was constant and the crowds of demonstrators parted to make way for them. Some came slumped over the shoulders of strangers, their clothes ripped and bloodied. Others rushed back to the front line after receiving treatment.
"These young people are fighting for our freedom, for our health, for our food," said Mari Javenes, one of the many volunteers helping out the injured.
She sat in a plastic tent surrounded by medical supplies. Right next to her, a man who had been shot in the eye with a rubber bullet was lifted into an ambulance. "We are devastated, they hit us too hard," she told Al Jazeera with tears in her eyes.
"We have faith in God, Maduro will fall. Something must happen. Strength and faith. Strength and faith," she said.
'Break relations'
For others such as 61-year-old Elizabeth, Guaido's plan was already a success.
"What I hoped for already happened: aid got into Venezuela," she told Al Jazeera. She is in Colombia for treatment on stage four cancer. If she had stayed in Venezuela, she is certain she "would be dead by now".
Although she was bound to a wheelchair and wore an oxygen mask, Elizabeth was one of many who stood their ground all day, despite the blasting temperatures.
On Saturday afternoon, Maduro announced the severance of all diplomatic ties with Colombia and ordered its officials in Venezuela to leave the country.
"We can't keep putting up with Colombian territory being used for attacks against Venezuela," he said during a rally in Caracas.
"For that reason, I have decided to break all political and diplomatic relations with Colombia's fascist government. All their ambassadors and diplomats are to leave Venezuela in 24 hours. Get out of here, oligarchs."
Guaido also addressed his supporters by the end of the day, saying all options are on the table. He also confirmed he would be meeting US Vice President Mike Pence in Bogota on Monday.
Speaking at the same press conference, Colombian President Ivan Duque announced his forces would remove the trucks from all bridges "not to expose them to further aggression".
"Our objective is to guarantee protection," he said.
