NASA's Juno spacecraft has captured an intriguing image of a volcanic plume straddling the line between day and night on Jupiter's notoriously eruptive moon Io.
The image is part of a larger data set gathered on the spacecraft's Dec. 21 close skim over the planet's surface, when four of Juno's cameras spent more than an hour watching the volcanic moon's pole. All told, the observations are a nice scientific bonus for the Juno team, because the spacecraft's primary job is to study Jupiter itself.
Juno's visible light camera, JunoCam, spotted a volcanic plume right along Io's terminator, the line between the daylight side and the night side. The spacecraft was 186,000 miles (300,000 kilometers) away from the moon.
The spacecraft's observing period was split into two phases, because Jupiter came between the sun and Io. Before that eclipse, the visible-light camera JunoCam could study Io in stronger light, watching the pole as day turned to night. The camera snagged three images during this period, all of which caught sight of a plume right along the moon's terminator, where day and night meet.
"The ground is already in shadow, but the height of the plume allows it to reflect sunlight, much like the way mountaintops or clouds on the Earth continue to be lit after the sun has set," Candice Hansen-Koharcheck, the JunoCam lead from the Planetary Science Institute, said in the same statement.
Juno's Stellar Reference Unit camera, which helps the spacecraft navigate by the stars, captured this image of a faintly lit Io. The plume is highlighted by the small circle.
After Jupiter blocked out the sun, Juno's Stellar Reference Unit camera took over. That instrument is designed to help the spacecraft track its location in the cosmos, but the camera requires fainter lighting — like the sunlight reflected off nearby moon Europa during the observing period. However, this camera also spotted evidence of the plume.
The Galileo spacecraft spotted volcanic plumes streaming off Jupiter's moon Io.
A third instrument, the Jovian Infrared Auroral Mapper (JIRAM), was also active during the observing period, capturing information about hotspots on the moon's surface. In July, that same instrument spotted a previously undetected hotspot on the volcanic moon.
Scientists have known Io is volcanically active since 1979. The activity is spurred by Jupiter's massive gravity tugging at the moon.
NASA's $1.1 billion Juno spacecraft launched to Jupiter in August 2011 and arrived in orbit around the gas giant on July 4, 2016. The mission is expected to run through 2020.

On Thursday, January 26, the faculty of the Department of Computer Science will discuss opportunities for students to participate in research projects in computer science at Grinnell in summer 2017. We'll present overviews of the projects, explain how students with various levels of expertise and background can contribute, summarize the benefits and rewards of the summer research experience, and explain how to apply.
At 4:00 p.m., refreshments will be served in the Computer Science Commons, Noyce 3817. The discussion will follow at 4:15 p.m. in Noyce 3821. Everyone is welcome to attend!
We shall describe the various projects completed to improve the computer science department's MathLAN systems over the summer and give an overview of the field of system administration. MathLAN's operating system is GNU/Linux, a free software, which gives the user more control over the computer. This made the course very open-ended. As such, the projects completed are varied and relate to many different aspects of system administration. The more noticeable effects of these projects are an improvement in the MathLAN login screen, and a revision of the CS website, yet to be implemented.
At 4:00 p.m., refreshments will be served in the Computer Science Commons. The talk, "GNU/Linux System Administration Projects," will begin at 4:15 p.m. in Noyce 3821. Everyone is welcome to attend!


As the owners of their own humble farm, Ronan and Emma Lally knew quite a bit when it came to taking care of animals. First and foremost, they knew that predators and prey were not to be mixed.
Unwittingly, the two put this to the test when they decided to bring a few fertilized duck eggs back to their property in Clara, County Offaly, Ireland. Still, they worried that without a mother duck to provide for them, the future hatchlings would be in serious trouble.
Of course, that was easier said than done. One morning, when Ronan and Emma checked on the eggs, they discovered that they'd already hatched—but there were only empty shells in the barn! What happened to their precious ducklings?
For six hours, Ronan and Emma searched their farm to no avail, which only confirmed Ronan's suspicions. "Ronan thought there was no hope at all," Emma said. Still, they continued to check every corner just in case they found the baby ducks.
Miraculously, the couple found the ducklings! Only, the little quackers weren't safely tucked in a hard-to-see corner of the barn. No, by all appearances, they were in serious trouble of becoming Della's next meal!
It turned out that the mighty predator Della was the one who had found the ducklings, and by the looks of it, that wasn't good news. "The cat had a duck in her mouth at this stage," Emma said.
Amazingly, Della had given birth to kittens just hours before she found the ducklings—and that ended up saving the ducks' lives. "Mothering hormones" were flowing through her, prompting her to treat the ducklings as if they were her own.
While under the "spell" of these hormones, Della followed one rule: if it was tiny, furry, and warm, then it must be her baby. When Ronan and Emma tried to move her to a safer place, they discovered just how far Della was willing to care for the ducks.
Believe it or not, the ducklings were breastfeeding from Della! Usually, ducklings in nature find their own food the moment they're born. The fact that they were suckling was both strange and an oddly efficient solution to their food search.
Ronan feared that as Della's hormones dissipated, she would eat the ducks for dinner, but Emma wasn't so sure. In her day job as a midwife, she'd seen what love between a mother and her newborn looked like, and she saw the same signs with Della and her ducklings.
Della's story made waves on the Internet, and people seemed to agree that they could see how much love the cat had for her feathered babies. Della made sure that each duckling had a chance to eat; she'd even pull away the food hogs.
Beyond making sure her babies were fed, this mama cat made sure they had a regular playmate. Della would play gently with the ducks in a way that didn't show even the smallest hint of aggression.
Emma and Ronan soon realized that this wasn't going to be a typical duck and cat relationship. You just wouldn't see this kind of embrace between two creatures that had anything but love for each other!
Eventually, the ducks grew big—far larger than Della's kittens—and the mama cat had a hard time controlling and caring for them. But even as growing, independent adults, the ducks couldn't get enough of their feline mother!

A: I was using a numbered list. I removed the list to fix the code.
More info and other fixes:  Why is a code block not properly formatted when placed immediately after a list item?

A: You need to indent everything in the code block by four spaces.
You're getting the code blocks that you are because the start and end lines are not indented by four spaces.  So add four spaces to the start of every line and it should work.

Laminate flooring is one of several possibilities when choosing laminate wood flooring products. It is synthetic and multi-layered, with the layers being melded together in a lamination process, either direct pressure or high pressure laminate. The main difference is that laminate made with the high pressure laminate process (HPL) is harder, less likely to gouge, and also more expensive. Direct pressure laminate (DPL) is less expensive and more realistic-looking, because it's easier to emboss.
Laminated flooring has four layers: the wear layer, the image design layer (or photographic layer), the inner core layer, and the backing layer. The wear layer is an aluminum-oxide containing surface which offers protection from fading, wear, and stains. For residential use, the rating buyers need to look for is a 3 for best assurance of adequate protection against wear. The image design layer is a photographic image of wood, stone, marble, or other materials appliquéd under a transparent protective layer. The third layer, the inner core, is what imparts structural integrity and strength to the floor. The core is formed with fiberboard of high-density combined with melamine, a plastic resin, to further augment the integrity and strength of the floor. This resin also improves resistance to moisture. The final layer, below the inner core, is the backing layer. This layer is a resin-soaked paper, which makes a barrier against moisture, preventing the floor from warping. This backing layer may or may not have glue backing for installation; most laminate floors have a glueless system for installation ease.
Laminate floors are relatively simple for homeowners to install themselves with the glueless system. The discount laminate flooring is bundled together as tongue and groove planks, which are easy to join one to another. Once installed, the laminate floor floats, in a sense, above the sub-floor with the aid of an underlayment of film and foam. This underlayment has both sound and moisture-reduction characteristics.
Even though laminate comes built in with many moisture-resistant capabilities, care still needs to be taken to keep the laminate as dry as possible, since moisture left sitting can lead to swelling or warping of the planks. Liquid spills aren't a problem if quickly mopped up, though. Some brands do come with water-resistant coatings, which is highly advantageous.
Hardwood laminate flooring has several distinct advantages, the first being its durability. Since it's protected by a stout outer layer and resin covering, laminate is made much more scratch-resistant and durable than vinyl, carpet, or hardwood flooring. Typically, a quality laminate product will carry warranties of 20 years for wear and tear, as well as moisture resistance. Care does need to be taken, however, to not scratch laminate, as it cannot be refinished as can hardwood.
Laminate floors are fairly low maintenance, however, which is a further advantage. They require minimal care and need no waxing. It's best to use a cleaner recommended by the manufacturer, rather than mopping with water. Also, it's advisable to use a wand attachment with a vacuum cleaner rather than a broom, as the broom may drag grit across the floor and lead to scratches.
Another excellent benefit of laminate wood floors is that it's more cost-effective. It's less expensive to begin with, and when its endurance and durability are factored in, it becomes a highly economical and practical option. The cost runs from $0.99 to $6.00 a square foot, depending on the thickness of the black laminate flooring. The thicker the bamboo laminate flooring, the more it will cost; thickness varies between 6 and 12 millimeters. The higher of a moisture-resistant quality the glueless laminate flooring has, the more it costs, as well. Installation can vary from $1.00 to $5.00 a square foot, including underlayment. High-quality installation systems will also run at a higher price.
Laminate flooring also offers a wider range of styles than can be found with most other flooring types. It can replicate the look of a wood, stone, or marble floor, whatever might be desired by the homeowner. There are limitless possibilities with laminate designs, and many innovative, beautiful patterns exist. This type of flooring offers both beauty and practicality in one fluid blend.
Laminate flooring was created in 1977 by a Swedish company called Pergo, which remains the most well-known manufacturer of this style of slate laminate flooring. However, there are other major brands such as Armstrong, Mohawk, Columbia, Shaw, and Mannington. These brands all offer high-quality products to suit the needs and desires of many different consumers.

Video Streaming is said to lead the African OTT growth. Many Video Producers and Content Owners are expanding into the region looking at it's high potential and growing market. In fact, African Film Industry – Nollywood is said to be the 2nd largest Film producing industry worldwide.
With the user penetration of 5.4 % recorded in 2017 and expected to grow at 8.0 % by 2021, the revenues from VOD services are expected to double in Africa from US$260 million to US$452 million at a CAGR of 14.8 % over the said period.


Simultaneous to the first industrial production of baby food, Georg Hipp started with the cultivation of fruit and vegetables on natural soils and without the use of chemicals in 1956. Impressed by the idea of the Swiss pioneer, Dr. Hans Müller, the founder of organic-biological farming, he now had one goal: to produce healthy and tasty baby food from organic raw materials.
The family-owned Ehrensberg farm near Pfaffenhofen then converted to organic production. Son Claus and his two brothers, Georg and Paulus, took over the management in 1967 and developed the idea of organic farming further, step by step.


Free wifi in airports is very rare…not that I'm a frequent traveller but that's what I've observed in my travels.
I don't mind paying 5$ or 10$ for an hour of internet access. Is that wrong? I find internet access very important and to me its worth it. I can email, surf, watch TV on my Slingbox….its makes time at the airport fly by…pun intended.

Thousands of homes and businesses are without power across south-east Queensland after an overnight storm that brought more than 250,000 lightning strikes.
A quarter of a million lightning strikes hit south-east Queensland's skies
Energex says power will be restored as soon as possible
Heatwave conditions continue to grip much of the state with some areas expected to reach 40C
Energex's Danny Donald said more than 20,000 properties had been affected by power outages, with nearly 14,000 of those on the Sunshine Coast.
Mr Donald said Caboolture and northern parts of Brisbane, such as Banyo and Everton Park were also badly hit.
By Thursday afternoon, about 7,600 remained without power.
"There's been a quarter of a million lightning strikes. That's caused quite a bit of damage and switched the power off," he said.
More storms are expected this afternoon with the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) issuing a warning for central and south-eastern Queensland, where damaging winds and large hail are forecast.
BOM meteorologist Danny Teece-Johnson said this morning's storm was the first significant electrical storm of the summer season with plenty more to come.

"That's 391 strikes a minute and approximately seven strikes per second … quite the lightning show," he said.
SES and fire crews were called out to more than a dozen jobs, including a garden shed which caught alight after being struck in Palmwoods.

Some homes without power for most of the day
Mr Donald said some parts of the coast could be without electricity for most of the day.
He said those living in hinterland or rural areas should expect an extended outage due to fallen trees.

"Hopefully it's not going to be an all-day or an all-night thing, hopefully we should get the majority up and running in daylight hours," he said.
"The priority will be getting any major infrastructure up and running like shopping centres and water treatment plants things like that."
Helicopters have been brought in to assess the damage around Condamine, north-west of Brisbane.
"What we're looking at now is power lines down on some of the major power lines," Mr Donald said.
"Crews have done an initial assessment, so they don't expect power to be up to everyone because of the severe damage until 6pm."

Meanwhile, drivers in inner-city Brisbane have been told to avoid Coronation Drive in Auchenflower after the storm caused a metre-wide pothole on two outbound lanes near Land Street.
Motorists have been told to expect delays as crews work to repair the road.
Passengers on Brisbane's train network have also been warned to expect delays of up to an hour after the storms caused a track fault on the city's northern lines.
Queensland Rail said the inbound and outbound lines at Bowen Hills and Shorncliffe were most affected with crews working to restore the fault within three hours.
Storm takes heat out of the afternoon
An average of 30 to 50mm of rain fell over the south-east, cooling much of the region, with the system moving offshore about 6:30am.
As a result, the BOM said Brisbane was not expected to reach 37C as initially forecast, and instead will reach 34C.

Mr Teece-Johnson said the thunderstorm was a result of hot tropical north westerlies from the top end of Australia pushing down across south-east Queensland, carrying a lot of electricity.
BOM senior forecaster Felim Hanniffy said while severe to extreme heatwave conditions persisted in the state's north and centre, cooler conditions were on the horizon.
"We'll have a weather system in the far west during early next week and that's going to drag the heat a little bit eastward again … so perhaps a bit of a reprieve once that starts moving across the state," he said.

Mr Hanniffy said the heatwave was due to a ridge or high-pressure system moving over central and top end areas of Australia that has allowed heat to build up in Queensland.
A lack of south-westerly surges from the southern ocean that would usually help flush out heat had also allowed scorching temperatures to climb.
Across the south-east corner, cooler conditions are expected from this evening with the worst of the heat retreating back towards the west.

The rise of the Great British 'bobby': a brief history of Britain's police service
Save 50% on a BBC History Magazine or BBC History Revealed subscription
Why do police officers wear blue? How did they operate in the past? And when was the first female 'bobby'? Crime historian Clive Emsley, author of The Great British Bobby, reveals everything you need to know about the history of the British police service
When was the police service as we know it established?
The date for the beginning of the police in Britain is often given as 1829, when the Metropolitan Police first took to the streets of London. The Scots and the Northern Irish can dispute this, pointing to their earlier institutions. And, indeed, many other issues about police institutions are open to dispute. First, at least as far as England is concerned, the Metropolitan Police did not replace men like Dogberry and Verges, the comic characters from Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing responsible for a group of bumbling watchmen. Nor did they replace doddery old constables who could barely lift their lanterns. Police institutions around the country were already becoming increasingly professional before 1829, and especially during the 18th century. Evidence from the Old Bailey, for example, reveals the presence of a number of courageous watchmen and constables; these were typically former soldiers, under the age of 40, who knew the laws of the land. In some parishes, these watchmen wore numbers painted on the back of their overcoats so that they were identifiable.
The bumbling antics of constables Dogberry and Verges, from William Shakespeare's comedy 'Much Ado About Nothing', are not an accurate reflection of historic law enforcement, says Clive Emsley. (Photo by Photo 12/UIG via Getty Images)
Why was the Metropolitan Police established?
Traditionally, the assumption has been that the Metropolitan Police was established because of an increase in disorder and crime. This is, however, extremely difficult to prove.
What we do know is that there had been an earlier attempt to establish a professional police body. In June 1780, London suffered more than a week's rioting when the Protestant Association, principally directed by politician Lord George Gordon, began protesting about a minor easing of the then-laws against Catholics. The suppression of the riots – later known as the Gordon Riots – necessitated the use of soldiers, and shortly afterwards there was a (failed) attempt to establish a Metropolitan Police. One reason for the failure of the attempt was the hostility of the Lord Mayor, Sir Watkin Lewes, and the City of London Corporation, who were both intensely proud of their independence and their own institutions.
Parliamentary committees meeting after the Napoleonic Wars were sympathetic to the idea of creating a police force, as long as it did not contain what the English feared about the French police: political ties and militarisation. It wasn't until Sir Robert Peel became home secretary in 1822 that any real change took place. In 1829, Peel set up the first disciplined police service for the Greater London area through the Metropolitan Police Act. One reason was to establish some sort of uniformity in how crime was dealt with across London – although the powerful square mile of the City of London was allowed to go its own way, and it still has its own force and commissioner today.

Not everyone was happy with the new system. Before 1829, the London parishes had differing numbers of constables and watchmen; generally, the richer the parish, the greater number of men and the better their pay. These men belonged to their locality, and when the Metropolitan Force was founded there was considerable annoyance among rate payers that the government expected them to pay for a force over which they no longer had any control, and which, in some instances, put fewer men on the streets of their parish. This dissatisfaction was partly settled by an act of parliament in 1833 that provided for a quarter of police costs to come out of the Consolidated Fund [the government's general bank account, which held its money from taxes and other revenue at the Bank of England].
Why do police officers wear a blue uniform?
The determination to ensure that the Metropolitan Police did not appear 'military' was one reason for the blue tunic (as opposed to the red of the British infantry) and the stove pipe hat rather than a shako [a cylindrical military cap adorned with a plume]. By the end of the 19th century, however, the police helmet was not greatly different from the infantry helmet. In contrast, the Irish Constabulary (Royal Irish from 1867) looked like the military French Gendarmerie; they were armed and stationed in small barracks on the main roads.

What type of person became a police officer?
Until the end of the Second World War, most rank-and-file police officers came from the semi-skilled and unskilled working classes. Often, they did not join the force with a career in mind but to tide themselves over during a period of unemployment. The pay was steady and did not depend on market fluctuations (unlike other working-class jobs where the pay might, at times, be much higher). However, it could slip at times or, in a serious downturn, go down to nothing.
In smaller boroughs, the chief constable was usually a career policeman who had risen from the ranks and who had been born into the working class. In the larger towns and cities (and some counties), the chief constable was more likely to be a man who could fit in with the wealthy elite. Invariably he was a man used to commanding others, either in the armed forces or from one of the paramilitary imperial police forces – such as the Royal Irish Constabulary or one of the forces in Imperial India. It was only between the two world wars that the government began to insist that such men had an awareness and experience of policing.
Even though Britain was a seagoing, imperial power, there were hardly any black or Asian officers before the 1970s. Even in the last 20 years of the 20th century, many police recruits faced considerable racial prejudice from white fellow officers.
What was life like for a policeman and his family?
Unlike other working-class groups, a policeman's wife was not allowed to take employment on her own behalf, which permanently limited the couple's income. The fear was that a policeman's working wife might be tempted to use influence or be put under pressure because of her husband's job. Police officers were meant to appear as members of the 'respectable working class' (even if their pay was so much lower), and the wives of such men did not work.
Nonetheless, if a man was a village policeman his wife was expected to act as his auxiliary – taking messages if he was out on patrol or at court. Some chief constables allowed police wives to do a little domestic service or dressmaking, providing this did not interfere with her duties of looking after her home and family.
Depending on agreements with the local watch committee or Standing Joint Committee, police officers enjoyed a variety of perks including rent assistance and even free family medical care. Many officers also benefitted from a number of unofficial perks, such as a free loaf of bread from the local bakery, or a weekly penny for acting as an alarm clock for workmen needing to get up in the morning. Not all police officers were angels, and some would abuse their position to partake in genuine criminal activity. Some accepted more illicit perks – such as a case of whiskey from the bookmakers for closing a blind eye to their best runners, who took bets illegally in places where they worked and socialised.
The relatively low pay, restriction on family income and the hard life of patrolling every day in the open-air, whatever the weather, ultimately fostered union activity in the force. This was most apparent during the First World War and engendered two strikes – the first in 1918 and the second in 1919 – that affected several forces at the war's end. The second strike, which was over what form a police union should take, led to the establishment of the Police Federation of England and Wales. This meant that the police were barred from belonging to a trade union and no longer had a right to strike.
When did women start working as police officers?
The first women police officers were recruited during the First World War to supervise young women who either worked in munitions factories or were feared to be 'pursuing' young men in uniform. Many chief constables were delighted to be able to get rid of women at the war's end in 1919, and regretted having to recruit them again in 1939. Chief constables did their best to limit women's activities to typing, filing and making tea.
The women officers who remained or who joined after the Second World War were largely limited to looking after women and children until the equality legislation of the 1970s, which made their role legally and practically the same as their male colleagues. Many male officers continued to see them as a potential problem, believing that male officers would be too worried about their female colleagues to do 'a man's job' effectively.
How has the role of the police officer changed over time?
The first police officers were told that their principle role was the prevention of crime. Each man was given a beat [a territory and time in which to patrol], which was supervised by sergeants who periodically checked that each officer was where he was supposed to be. In London, police were expected to walk at a regulation 2.5 miles an hour. In rural districts, the men were given more discretion in the way that they patrolled since the ground they were covering was much greater.
The traditional beat patrol lasted for more than a century, although it became more flexible over time as it became clear that any sensible burglar or robber could simply wait until the constable had passed through their territory before committing a crime.

As cities expanded and the suburbs grew, the initial scale of coverage provided by the police became unaffordable. Increases in vehicle ownership, too, meant that more police were required to patrol in cars to prevent traffic regulation breaches.
As ever, changes in social behaviour and increasing awareness of certain issues all led to new fields within the force. Specialisms were created to tackle issues including the use and production of 'recreational drugs', the growth of football hooliganism, and the use of the internet to commit crime, including paedophilia and terrorism.

When Paddy started looking into our daughter, Sarah's, options, she contacted Kennedy Academy to arrange a tour of the facility. The response from the administrator was that they didn't permit that sort of thing there. We were told we could attend an upcoming open house - if we liked.
Well, we didn't much like, but that's what we did. I wrote about that experience previously.
Our neighborhood school is Hay Primary Center and that was to be our next stop. Paddy's call there had a completely different result. The principal (who has miscellaneous other duties) had to check his schedule, but then called back and set up a meeting for 12:30 earlier this week.
As it turns out, Hay is one of the best performing of the neighborhood school system. Though its test scores are not as high as Kennedy's they are at or above state average and well above the district averages. And it's important to remember, Hay does not self select for "students ready to learn".
Hay has also achieved Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) (as determined by the No Child Left Behind act) each year. Ninety-four percent of their teachers are deemed "highly qualified" and most of the faculty has long tenure in this particular school. Interestingly, Kennedy's figure is eighty-four percent.
When we arrived for our meeting, I felt a big difference in the atmosphere of the building itself. The entrance opened into a generous lobby, almost every running foot of the facility was covered with students' artwork. Though a modest structure, the cinder block walls were painted with warm and bold colors. The place felt comfortable and welcoming.
Because Kennedy wouldn't allow visitation while in session, some comparisons between the two schools become difficult. The students we saw at Hay seemed relaxed, attentive and pretty happy, for the most part. This impressed me quite a bit because the learning atmosphere interests me at least as much as the specific programs available.
After a short wait, the Principal, Craig Haenes, welcomed us into his modest office which was adjacent to the Teachers' Lounge. Unlike the Kennedy principal, he was a very warm and more relaxed person. He was genuinely pleased to talk to us and very proud of the work and record of his school. There was a lot he wanted to tell us.
He told us their superior English test scores were likely due to a reading program (Wilson LiPS) he had successfully lobbied for that only his school (in the SBCSC) was using (up until this year). He told us that Hay had accepted a number of students from Wilson Primary due to that school's AYP challenges. He boasted of the active PTO at Hay, went into great detail about the many programs and answered all of our questions. Then we went on a lengthy tour.
It was pretty impressive the way they had made do. The school has been through changes over the years and in the latest incarnation the number of grade levels in the building is fewer than in the past. So when a computer lab was deemed necessary a no longer needed shower room off the gym was converted to that use. It's an odd sight – children leaning into old Macs in a room that is completely lined with ceramic tile.
In all, he spent over an hour and a half with us in an attempt to close us on his enterprise. As you can tell, he did a heck of a job on me.
I suspect the Academy model is highly beneficial for many students. If your life lacks adequate discipline or structure, then I have no doubt of the benefit of those characteristics in one's schooling. Unfortunately, the children who probably need those elements the most are unlikely to be "ready to learn".
Underlying those things appears to be a serious drive to success and I'm not sure these qualities are what our five year old really needs at this point in her life.
I wish I knew more children who attend Kennedy. The only two I know are fairly nervous people.
There is a certain mythic ism among people we know, about the program. Originally, I bought in completely to the idea of -- if you have the choice – this is where you want your kid to go. But now I'm leaning the other way.
Of course, maybe we'll be turned down by Kennedy.
And to be honest, it's a nice problem to have to pick between these programs.

easyJet halves cabin baggage allowance
Simon Calder
2 December 2020, 10:46 am ·3-min read
Bag drop: easyJet is cutting its hand-luggage allowance (Simon Calder )
Britain's biggest budget airline is halving its cabin baggage allowance for passengers paying cheaper fares. From 10 February 2021, most easyJet passengers will be restricted to a small bag that fits under the seat in front.
The airline says: "This will enable them to bring all the essentials for their journey or enough for a short trip."
The move follows Ryanair's downsizing of hand luggage, but is even more drastic – because there is no option for an ordinary passenger to pay extra to bring a larger bag into the cabin.
As is currently the case on easyJet flights, travellers who pay extra for an "upfront" or extra legroom seat will be able to bring a larger bag in addition to the smaller one. Passengers holding easyJet Plus cards, or who pay higher "flexi" fares will also be allowed two bags.
For everyone else, the new easyJet limit for cabin baggage is 45x36x20cm, a volume of 32.4 litres – barely half the current limit of 63 litres, with a bag measuring 56x45x25cm.
The rule applies to all new bookings. On a one-way flight from Manchester to Faro on 1 April, the standard fare is £62. The minimum extra charge allowing two cabin bags is £21 – increasing the cost by one-third.
The airline is portraying the move as a passenger benefit, saying: "The limited overhead locker space on aircraft has meant that customers can't always be certain they will have their cabin bag onboard with them.
Watch: Airline reports flight search rise
"The new policy will also reduce queue times during boarding and other associated delays which occur due to putting excess cabin bags in the hold and so the move will lead to improved punctuality for all customers."
There are between 42 and 63 upfront and extra legroom seats on each easyJet flight. All the seats that allow extra bags to be brought are in the front of the aircraft, and it is unclear how the overhead locker space will be allocated.
Passengers who have an existing booking for travel from 10 February will be offered the chance to check in a bag up to the existing hand-luggage dimensions for free.
Ryanair has a limit of 40x25x20cm, with a volume of 20 litres. It offers "priority plus two cabin bags" at extra cost.
Rob Burgess, editor of the UK's biggest frequent flyer website, Head for Points, said: "It is disappointing to see easyJet following Ryanair and Wizz Air with charges for using the overhead bins.
" A lot of their core business passengers will find that their laptop bag does not meet the guidelines for fitting under their seat.
"With passenger demand not predicted to return to 2019 levels until at least 2023, it seems foolish to alienate customers in this way. British Airways will be delighted to see some clear water opening up between their policies and their biggest UK competitor for short-haul business passengers."
BA allows two piece of cabin baggage, each weighing up to 23kg.

In my entire life a person can experience a huge number of unpleasant situations. These include fractures of the extremities. At fracture, as is known, the damaged area is put into a cast. Over time, plaster becomes necessary, and the question arises – is it possible to remove it yourself.
To remove the plaster need instruments such as scissors, wire cutters or sharp knives. Self casts off quite easy even at home. The basic rule to be observed in this case – just put your doctor period the plaster is removed. After the plaster will already be removed, you need to go to the hospital for control tests. This process defines the procedures necessary for rehabilitation. No matter what part of the body was broken, but it was long enough to atrofirovany condition. Because of this, it, be it arm or leg, will be very difficult to carry out their direct functions.
After some time, remove the plaster?
The plaster is overlaid on the fixing bandage. There are two methods for removing plaster cast with this method. The first method is called dry, and the second with the effect of maceration. The removal of gypsum with the dry method is carried out with the use of a sharp knife or scissors. Work is carried out in such instrument from top to bottom with the wrong side of the plaster. Cut the plaster at once, but gradually, cut for cut. Cut off such pieces of plaster to the full withdrawal. More complicated process is the removal of stuck to the hair on the legs of gypsum. By removal of the stuck plaster a sharp movements. If you do it gradually, the pain will be much greater. Don't be afraid of the appearance of the feet or hands after its liberation from gypsum. Very often on the limbs after removal of plaster there are bruises. After some time they will disappear. After removing the plaster with his feet for some time, you should use crutches. Due to the long atrophy of the muscles to restore their work will take time.
Much easier to remove the plaster using the second method with maceration. Soaked in warm water and the plaster just cut it with scissors or a knife.
After the cast is removed, you need to consult with your doctor. Where necessary he will appoint additional procedure, the attending massage or physical therapy. The main thing to get the bone properly fused, and did not require additional treatment.
The plaster is usually prescribed by a doctor-the traumatologist. The term of a limb in plaster is often one to two months. According to statistics, the minimum period for treatment of bone is twenty-five days. The age of the patient much depends. Younger than he is, the faster the bone will heal and will heal. When the fracture initially carry out extraction. And then applied plaster.
The plaster is overlaid in the emergency room for a period of one month. The cast off also in the emergency room. For removing use regular scissors, wire cutters and sharp knives. It is easy to remove and put in a cast at home. The main thing to do is, after a specified physician time and after removing to undergo a medical check and to assign experts to conduct rehabilitation procedures, as a broken limb, whether hand, foot or thigh, is a long time in atrofirovany condition and refuses to perform its direct functions.
Gypsum is superimposed on a fixing bandage. The plaster to remove it is not difficult. This can be done in the dry way or by using the mixing even easier. For removing plaster is dry, use tailor's, sharp scissors, a nail file for metal and a sharp knife.
As the limb under the cast loses weight, and the plaster shattered under the impact, then it is easy to poke fingers. Remove the plaster using outside help, while removing the plaster on the foot you can do on their own.
Scissors or a knife work from top to bottom with the inner side of the plaster. If you cut it from the outside and send sharp tools in the direction of limb, you can easily get injured. It is necessary to work very slowly, and cut the plaster piece by piece until it is cut completely. Next comes the hard part – is to tear off stuck to the hair plaster. Do this sharp movement, because if you tear gradually, it will be even harder. Don't be afraid of form of a leg or arm under the cast. Can be hematomas and bruises all eventually dissolve and will pass. First, you need to still use crutches because all the muscles during the time spent in a cast had forgotten how to perform its functions and to restore them takes time.
Remove the plaster using wetting several times easier to do not have to endure the pain of pulling the hair, as in the first case. Just soak the cast in warm water in the bath and cut with scissors. Use of scissors is necessary for the reason that fixing bandages are impossible to tear by hand.
As mentioned above, after removal of plaster complete follow-up examination and will receive a prescription. In some cases, you may need a course of massage or physical therapy.


I love anything cheese so naturally, Cheetos are one of my favorite snacks. Essentially, Cheetos are puffed corn, made of cornmeal and heated until the pieces puff up. Then, to be transformed into Hot Cheetos, these Cheetos are mixed with a special spicy powder mixture. But which is the best Hot Cheetos? Having grown up eating Hot Cheetos simply out of the bag, it is fascinating to see many creative pairings, like dipping Hot Cheetos in cream cheese, and Hot Cheetos dishes, like Hot Cheetos elotes or Hot Cheetos grilled cheese sandwiches, becoming popular.
With so many variations of Hot Cheetos dishes, I wanted to bring it back to the basics. Walking through the chips aisle at the store, I've seen so many different flavors of chips pop up. And, since I would be going to a retreat with lots of people, I decided to have everyone rank their favorite Hot Cheetos. There were 8 total Hot Cheetos brand variations, and below are descriptions of the flavors and the results. Read on to reveal the best Hot Cheetos.
Advertised as "Twice as Hot", the Xxtra Hot Cheetos look identical to the original Hot Cheetos, but with a slightly darker red powder coating. Taste-wise, the Xxtra Hot Cheetos tastes the same when you are eating it, but left a longer lingering heat sensation. Although not very popular with my group of taste testers, it was still ranked as a favorite among a couple of people who really enjoy spicy food.
So, I did not know that the Chester's Popcorn is actually just the Flamin' Hot flavoring mixed with regular popcorn. Popcorn and Hot Cheetos lovers may love this convenient bag, but personally, I would just stick with eating popcorn and Hot Cheetos separately.
Surprisingly, the original, plain Hot Cheetos came in sixth place. This may be due to the fact that people already knew what they tasted like and wanted to try something different. I'm still a major fan of original Hot Cheetos though. No matter what, I did learn that Hot Cheetos dipped in cream cheese, is my new favorite way of eating Hot Cheetos. Try out that pairing if you haven't yet.
For some reason, anything in puff form seem to have more flavor. With Hot Cheetos puffs, I feel like the Flamin' Hot flavoring is spicier and the powder rubs off onto your fingers easier. Nevertheless, if you prefer the puffs for the texture, the Hot Cheetos puffs will probably be your favorite too.
Everyone loves fries. Hot Cheetos fries may be cornmeal based, but they taste like their potato counterparts and are crunchier and less oily. In my opinion, the fries taste less spicy because of its smoother texture that accumulates less spicy powder. To be honest, this is my favorite kind of fries.
Those who do not want to get their fingers temporarily stained with a reddish tint but still wish to have a kick to their Cheetos snacking session, should try out the Cheetos Cheddar Jalepeno. It may not be part of the "Flamin' Hot" collection, but this Cheetos flavor does have a different, milder spice and was a crowd-favorite.
The only difference between the Puffcorn and the normal Hot Cheetos is the base. The Cheetos Puffcorn is more fluffy and not as crunchy (think Pirate's Booty popcorn or Trader Joe's Corn Puffs texture). With the "Flamin' Hot" seasoning coating the light and porous corn puffs, the corn puff Hot Cheetos was enjoyed by many of my friends.
Topping all of the Hot Cheetos flavors is the Flamin' Hot Límon. This classic Hot Cheetos is the same texture and seasoning as the plain Hot Cheetos, but with a nice sour and astringent twist. The #1 Hot Cheetos flavor among my friends, and a personal childhood favorite of mine, the Flamin' Hot Límon Hot Cheetos gives the perfect amount of heat, by balancing the spice level with a little lime and lemon flavor.
Hot Cheetos are a classic snack that is readily in stock in many stores around the world. As time goes on, people are becoming more creative with Hot Cheetos, adding them to everyday dishes. From this taste testing, my friends taught me new ways to enjoy these spicy chips. Some of them eat Cheetos by squeezing fresh limes on top of the plain Hot Cheetos, while others always dip Hot Cheetos in cream cheese. But sticking with the basics and ranking the chip by itself, the Flamin' Hot Límon Hot Cheetos was the best Hot Cheetos. Overall, it was a pretty lit taste testing.


RF Cafe visitor Terry W. recently wrote to me about a topic that ended up mentioning RCA's vacuum tube voltmeter (VTVM) known as the VoltOhmyst. VTVMs were the era's high-input-impedance multimeter, before field effect transistors (FETs) came on the scene. The higher a meter's input impedance, the less it loads the circuit under test. Any meter connected across a circuit appears as a parallel load to the source, so the closer it is to an open circuit, the better. Terry mentioned how the VoltOhmyst was a key component on test benches of many professionals. You can still buy various models of the VoltOhmyst on eBay.
What It Can Do. The VoltOhmyst WV-77EK measures a.c. (r.m.s.) and d.c. voltages up to 1500 volts, peak-to-peak voltages to 4000 volts, and resistance up to 1000 megohms. There is a high input impedance on all d.c. and a.c. voltage ranges, allowing the use of this VTVM in circuits where VOM's with a lower input impedance would result in loading of the circuit under test - and a resultant error in voltage reading.
The VoltOhmyst utilizes a push-pull balanced d.c. bridge with the meter in the plate circuit, which affords excellent linearity of response, good stability, and very high input impedance. Additional features include: provision for zero-center indication, useful in discriminator and bias measurements; separate scales for low a.c. voltage measurements to assure accurate readings; a circuit design which allows measurement of a.c. in the presence of d.c. and vice versa; a separate d.c. probe with a 1-megohm resistor which minimizes capacitance-loading effects; and electronic protection against meter burn-out. Also, the resistors in the ohmmeter ranges are protected by a separate fuse.
* For complete information on the VoltOhmyst, write to Radio Corporation of America, Commercial Engineering Dept., Section PE-10, Harrison, N. J.
Putting It Together. The WV-77EK utilizes a printed-circuit board to facilitate assembly. This board provides a rugged, pre-wired mounting for the components and, if the parts are properly inserted and soldered, makes for a neat and trouble-free assembly.
Large, clear meter face permits quick, accurate readings.
The symbol number of the part to be mounted is printed on one side of the board, and the copper wiring is etched on the other side. When the assembly instructions call for mounting a part, make sure the leads of the component form a right angle to the body of the part. The leads, when properly bent, form the two long portions of a "U" shaped unit, the bottom of the "U" matching the dimension between the two holes. Some parts, such as the disc capacitors, tube sockets and the selenium rectifier, do not require bending.
Completely wired unit. Note the three internal adjustment potentiometers. Diagram below is from the construction sheet.
Place the leads in the holes provided and pull the part snug to the board, so that the leads protrude on the etched side of the board. Spread the leads slightly to prevent the part from falling out. After soldering the leads to the copper foil, cut them to 1/8" from the board.
Well planned illustrations reduce complex wiring to a simple task.
Recommendations. The instructions for assembling and wiring the VoltOhmyst have been carefully thought out and presented in seven major construction steps. The POPULAR ELECTRONICS editor who assembled the VoltOhmyst makes the following recommendations.
Insert R14 as the first substep in Step 2. This section of the printed circuit is crowded. Installing R14 first will permit you to mount the adjoining components with ease.
After mounting the two snap-in sockets on the printed-circuit board as instructed in Step 2, be sure to solder each connection point as instructed. Do not be fooled into thinking that these connection points make a good electrical connection.
When connecting R10 to the printed-circuit board in Step 4, do not cut the leads. Otherwise, wire must be added to reach a connection point later on.
In Step 4, the instructions call for tinning the negative and positive terminals of the dry cell. When doing this, be careful not to apply too much heat with the soldering iron. Excessive heat will damage the cell.
Calibration. The instructions state exactly how to calibrate the VoltOhmyst. After calibration, our model was checked against laboratory standards. All scales except the a.c. ranges were found to be accurate to within 3%. The a.c. ranges were off because the home 117-volt a.c. power line was used as an a.c. calibration voltage. Unfortunately, home a.c. power line fluctuates throughout the day. Night voltage could be as high as 122 volts, but when the power demand is high, the line voltage often drops to 105 volts.
In general, the calibration procedure permits satisfactory calibration for most servicing purposes.
Comment. The VoltOhmyst assembles without difficulty, works nicely, is fairly rugged, and has ample accuracy for most practical work. The meter face is large, calibrations are fairly easy to read, and the knife-edge pointer permits readings with good accuracy. This reliable measuring device will prove extremely useful in television and hi-fi repair as well as in many industrial applications.
The VoltOhmyst uses a time-proven RCA circuit for optimum results.

Q: Differences of connection pool, jdbc and jndi I need to know if my understanding on the above is correct.
In a connection pool you set multiple connections with the use of java.sql.Datasource.
In jdbc we directly specify the connection url and oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver and it's always one connection, where another request has to wait until the connection has finished processing.
And with JNDI it's similar to direct jdbc where we refer the jdbc setting via a name, so that we can specify the connection url and other setting in the application server and not have them bound to the application, right?

A: *

*ConnectionPool

*JDBC

*JNDI
I know all the acronyms are daunting when you first learned Java, but get used to it, spend a lot of time reading .. especially official resources from Java/Oracle

A: Well these are two different things.
JDBC is Java Database Connectivity API, while JNDI is Java Naming and Directory Interface API.
The main thing here is that in a JNDI directory you're actually storing a JDBC DataSource, so, you're simply using JDBC to obtain a Connection via JNDI lookup.
In short words: JDBC is Database realm, JNDI lets you store Objects in a virtual context (the Directory) that can be local, remote (implementation details usually don't matters).
You access this context via names, obtaining stored objects, is good to share things among different modules.
Application Servers usually have a JNDI Context for sharing global objects among different application, Connection Poolers happen to be one of the most clear example of why sharing via JNDI is good (define 1 connection pooler, share between several webapps).


Squirrels, either 'ya love 'em, or 'ya hate 'em. There's no in between.
Lots of people like to watch squirrels scamper about. This is especially true during the winter months, when there is less for us to do, and less wildlife around to watch. Squirrels do not hibernate or go south, like many other animals. Rather, they stick around just to entertain you!
Many nature and bird watchers even feed squirrels. As a matter of fact, there are squirrel feeders designed to hold food for your cute, and all too active neighborhood squirrel.
But, when it comes to the hobby of bird watching and bird feeding, the squirrel quickly becomes the arch nemesis. As I'm sure you already know, bird feeders are squirrel magnets. There is no better way to attract squirrels than to have a bird feeder. And, here is where the problem begins.
In a single visit, one or more squirrels can empty a bird feeder. Not that they eat that much at one meal. Rather, they toss all the seed, except what they want, out of the feeder and onto the ground. Ground feeding birds find and eat a fraction of the leftovers.
You can fill your feeder with Safflower seeds. Squirrels don't like them. But only a few varieties of birds will eat Safflower.
Bird lovers go to great extremes to deter them, often without success. A wide array of feeders, squirrel domes, and baffles are available in this fight against our fine, furry friend. Fortunately, some of the devices are effective. Domes and baffles definitely deter these determined creatures. Bird feeders designed to keep them out work too, but usually come at a steep price. They also might keep some of your fine feathered friends away.
When selecting the right tools in your battle against squirrels, we suggest the first line of defense is baffles and domes. We recommend you thoroughly investigate any bird feeders designed to keep squirrels away. Check around to make sure they are effective. You don't want to spend the money, if they can't deliver what they promise.
Ridding your yard of squirrels is an other effective means of keeping them out of your feeders. But that is easier said than done. And, it is usually temporary. Once you have accomplished it, squirrels from your neighbors yard or fields, will migrate to this open territory.
Find more information in how to eliminate squirrels from your yard.

Crime Is The Key Issue In New York City Mayor's Race
WNYC Radio | By Brigid Bergin
Brigid Bergin
Outside the emergency room entrance at Elmhurst Hospital in Queens, once the epicenter of COVID-19 in New York City.
A major primary election kicks off across New York City on Saturday as voters prepare to pick a new mayor for the first time in eight years.
Mayor Bill de Blasio is out at the end of the year because of term limits and as voters choose from a crowded field of would-be successors, the issue of crime and public safety has overtaken COVID-19 as the leading concern among voters — boosting moderates and serving as a stress test for the city's progressive left.
So far, more than 33,000 city residents have died from COVID-19, more than any other major city in the United States. But as virus rates go down and vaccination rates go up, New York City voters increasingly say that crime and public safety are their biggest concerns, according to a recent poll.
Shootings are up 77% year to date, including a spate of recent high-profile incidents. Last weekend, a shooter aimed into a Queens home and killed a 10-year-old boy. A few weeks earlier a 4-year-old was wounded by stray bullets on a Saturday afternoon in Times Square.
"If the city cannot stop shootings in Times Square, what does that say about what's happening in Black and brown communities throughout our city where we are underinvesting and we know that rates of gun violence are higher?" said Andrew Yang, the former Democratic presidential candidate who is now one of the leading Democratic mayoral candidates.
He's running neck and neck with Eric Adams, a former New York City police captain who currently serves as the Brooklyn borough president.
Both oppose cuts to the NYPD. Their more moderate stance on policing is shared by Kathryn Garcia, most recently the city's sanitation commissioner, who notched the endorsements from both The New York Times and The New York Daily News.
To their collective left is Maya Wiley, a civil rights attorney and onetime member of the de Blasio administration. She's called for moving $1 billion from the NYPD's $6 billion budget and reinvesting that money in communities hardest hit by gun violence.
She picked up a major boost last weekend when New York City Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said the left needed to coalesce and endorsed her. "At the end of the day we're going to have to pull up that ballot and fill it out and I'm going to put Maya as number 1," Ocasio-Cortez said.
That reference to "number 1" was a nod to the new ranked choice voting system which will get its first citywide test in this primary, allowing voters to rank up to five candidates in order of preference. Voters adopted the new system through a 2019 ballot referendum.
As the candidates make their pitches, voter Jose Martinez, 79, said he wants someone who will focus on curbing gun violence. "The police are supposed to be more tough. Here everybody has a gun."
He was among the voters walking past Elmhurst Hospital in Queens on Monday, the epicenter of the city's COVID-19 pandemic, who told NPR about their concerns over policing issues.
At the height of protests against police brutality last summer, there was a major push by some reform activists to slash the NYPD's budget. Those cuts never fully materialized, but the debate over police funding remains very active.
"I think that it was very unfortunate phrasing to say 'defund the police.' I would be very much against that," said Nancy Davis, who moved to the city 50 years ago from Ohio. "I like seeing them and I think most New Yorkers do, too," she added.
"I think we should defund the police slightly," said Mohamed Rahmen, 19. "I feel like a lot of people are too radical with it, like they want to chop the NYPD budget in half or something," he said. "I'm not really for that."

Stenus niveus – gatunek chrząszcza z rodziny kusakowatych i podrodziny myśliczków (Steninae).

Gatunek ten został opisany w 1865 roku przez Alberta Fauvela.

Chrząszcz o biało owłosionym, smukłym ciele długości od 3,7 do 4,5 mm. Przedplecze jest znacznie dłuższe niż szersze, pozbawione jest podłużnej bruzdy środkowej. Pokrywy u nasady są znacznie szersze niż głowa. Powierzchnię odwłoka cechuje delikatna, siateczkowata mikrorzeźba. Brzegi boczne odwłoka są wąsko odgraniczone delikatną bruzdą. Odnóża ubarwione są czerwonożółto, wyjątkowo czarno. Krótkie i szerokie tylne stopy są co najwyżej trochę dłuższe od połowy goleni. Czwarty człon stóp jest wycięty sercowato, a trzeci głęboko. Samiec ma golenie z ostrymi ząbkami przedwierzchołkowymi.

Owad holarktyczny, rozprzestrzeniony w Stanach Zjednoczonych, Kanadzie, północnej, środkowo-zachodniej i południowo-zachodniej Europie. W Polsce jego występowanie jest wątpliwe. Zasiedla torfowiska i pobrzeża bajorek.

NEWS IN SHORT
Minister heads to the Supreme Court
THE JUDICIAL Council of Slovakia approved the temporary assignment of the current Justice Minister, Viera Petríková, nominated by the Movement for a Democratic Slovakia (HZDS), to the country's Supreme Court for one year. Her deputy, State Secretary Dušan Hudák from the Slovak National Party (SNS), received an identical assignment.
According to the Judicial Council's spokesperson, Juraj Sopoliga, the assignments apply from July 1, 2010 to June 30, 2011, the SITA newswire wrote.
The proposal for these temporary assignments was initiated by Štefan Harabin, the president of the Supreme Court and a HZDS-nominated former justice minister.
According to Sopoliga, the decision to make the temporary assignments was not influenced by whether these persons hold a post in government or not, saying that both individuals served as judges before they were appointed to posts in the government and, according to the constitution, they remain judges after their government service ends. The temporary assignment, or internship as Sopoliga termed it, is a usual procedure to allow a judge to gain additional, expert experience at a different type of court.
Previously Petríková served as the chairperson of the district court in Vranov nad Topľou. Sopoliga said she could not have been directly appointed to serve on the Supreme Court and that she would have had to successfully compete for the post because it is a higher level court than her previous position.
Radoslav Procházka, a newly-elected MP from the Christian Democratic Movement (KDH) and a lawyer, said the law does not allow Petríková and Hudák to take up posts at the Supreme Court immediately after their terms in the executive branch ends.
He said that according to the law, a judge whose judicial duties were suspended due to service in the government can return to the judiciary only to his or her previous court or to one to which he or she is appointed by the Judicial Council.

Keywords: Prejudice, Discrimination, Bias, African Americans, Men, Rodney King, War on drugs
Psychological science offers a variety of methods to both understand and intervene when acts of potential racial or ethnic racism, bias or prejudice occur. The Trayvon Martin killing is a reminder of how vulnerable African American men and boys, especially young African American men, are to becoming victims of social inequities in our society. We examine several historical events of racial bias (the Los Angeles civil disturbance after the Rodney King verdict, the federal government's launch of a "War on Drugs" and the killing of Trayvon Martin) to illustrate the ways in which behaviors of racism and race-based discrimination can be viewed from a psychological science lens in the hopes of eliminating and preventing these behaviors. If society is to help end the genocide of African American men and boys then we must broaden our focus from simply understanding instances of victimization to a larger concern with determining how policies, laws, and societal norms serve as the foundation for maintaining implicit biases that are at the root of race-based discrimination, prejudice, bias and inequity. In our call to action, we highlight the contributions that psychologists, particularly racial and ethnic minority professionals, can make to reduce the negative impact of racial and ethnic bias through their volunteer/pro bono clinical efforts.

It is based on tweets, so is not aiming to provide a comprehensive overview of the sessions reported – more to give readers a flavour of some of the discussions, and links to resources mentioned.
Palliative care specialist Professor Ian Maddocks suggested that politicians and the wider community should develop some first-hand experience of the complexities and challenges of end-of-life care.
On a related theme, this DVD featuring the experience of carers, No Greater Gift, was also profiled at the conference.
Dr Adrian Hopper, Associate Medical Director for Patient Safety at Guy's and St Thomas' Foundation Trust, spoke about the AMBER care bundle, which provides a systematic approach to manage the care of hospital patients who are facing an uncertain recovery and who are at risk of dying in the next one to two months.
It is an intervention that can fit within any care pathway or diagnostic group for patients whose recovery is uncertain.
The final session asked a panel of experts: what's the one thing you would change to make sure palliative care becomes everyone's business?

Q: Create a hg bookmark after committing a changeset I cloned a Mercurial repo and made some changes in the checked out code. I then grabbed those changes (7 files) and committed them with hg commit but without having created a bookmark first.
This is the output of my hg summary command:
parent: 8172:b39efc1322fe tip
  Made some changes in my feature
branch: default
commit: 7 modified
update: 2 new changesets, 3 branch heads (merge)
phases: 3 draft

These changes won't be ready to be pushed for at least another week, so I want to switch to a new bookmark and work on other parts of the code.
The problem is that I realized that I had made a commit without being in a bookmark, so I'm afraid that after switching to a new bookmark my committed changes could be lost.
Is there an easy way to move these committed changes into a new bookmark?

A: There is no need to be afraid at all: mercurial won't forget anything you committed unless you explicitly do both: enable history editing extensions and willingly use them in a way that you actually remove one or more changesets.
Mercurial is not git and mercurial does never forget or garbage-collect a changeset when it is not currently checked out and has no name (bookmark) attached to it.
You can show you all your heads using hg heads. And you can always create new bookmarks, attached to an arbitrary changeset by hg bookmark --rev XXX MyBookmark where XXX is the changesetID to which you want to attach the bookmark.

A:
I'm afraid that after switching to a new bookmark my committed changes could be lost.

How can you imagine this? OMFG, you committed your changes to repository (your clone), you have this changeset (8172:b39efc1322fe) in it. When|if you'll svn up to another node, you'll just change parent of your Working Directory, on pull you'll get "2 new changeset" and, as result "3 branch heads" - 2 new changesets + your commit 8172, and this b39efc1322fe will be always one of heads, even you'll up and work in another.
If you are afraid to forget it (how??? really), you can post-fact bookmark this (committed) changeset with hg bookmark -r b39efc1322fe $WIP && hg commit -m "Bookmarked my work" in order to hg up $WIP when it will be time to continue this chunk of changes


Take the A1 to Linz, at Haid take the exit into direction Passau/Wels and follow the A8 to the German/Austrian Boarder. Follow the A3. In Regensburg follow the signs of A93 to Marktredwitz and change to E48 directly to Karlovy Vary. Alternatively take the direction via Munich.
Take the A5, direction Mistelbach and follow the E461/E50 to Praha. Just before Praha follow the signs to the E48 which leads directly to Karlovy Vary.
Take the A17 to Praha and follow the signs E55. At Teplice follow the signs oft he E442 to Karlovy Vary/Most/Bilina directly to Karlovy Vary.


I've played it and I loved it!
Trust you had a lovely Easter.
NEW COOKING POST | Turkey steaks with DARK BEER sauce.
I've spent the good majority of April playing Zelda Breath of the Wild on Switch. First game in a long time that I spent many hours in a row before I stopped.
Nunca joguei esse jogo. Parece legal!
Sounds like an awesome day! I've always wanted to play The Last of Us, but alas, I don't have a Playstation. I just game on my PC.
