Dodgers Set NL Record for Homers
Getty Images/Jayne Kamin-Oncea
Joc Pederson hit a pair of homers last night, giving the Los Angeles Dodgers the National League record for homers in a season.
The Dodgers now have 250 homers, breaking the record of 249 set by the Houston Astros in 2000.
Cody Bellinger leads the team with 44 homers. Max Muncy has 33, Pederson 31 and Justin Turner has 27. Seven more players have ten or more.
Minnesota has already set the new Major League Record. 44 of their homers, however, have come from the DH position, which does not exist in the National League. The Dodgers have one homer by a pitcher, none from a DH.

I've grown skeptical of most new collaborative communication tools. They always seem to suffer from an inherent problem: they feel like they were designed by project managers for project managers. (When I worked at Microsoft, I called this PMware. Microsoft is basically packed with PMware.) This use-case is, needles to say, quite limited. But I can see Google Wave spreading to a larger audience. The demo is 80 minutes long but O'Reilly has a summary. It essentially collapses IM and email into a wiki-like space. It's pretty cool.
Waxy pin-pointed a spot in the demo where there's real-time translation via a bot named Rosy. Cool.
oh snap.. respect the email.. i'm killing this year's predictions. Didn't see Google coming but it makes sense cuz lots of folks have gmail acccounts. Discovery done.
This does sound really neat -- could potentially change the way a LOT of people do things on the Internet. Thanks for the link to the summary!

Nick Sandmann has got another payday coming
Rodeo December 18, 2021, 3:06pm #1
From FoxNews.com. Nicholas Sandmann has reached a settlement with NBC in the Covington Catholic High School controversy
Sandmann announced the settlement on Twitter the terms of the settlement were confidential.
The media had lambasted the Covington Catholic High School student from Kentucky, now 19, over a confrontation at the 2019 March for Life in Washington, D.C. "At this time I would like to release that NBC and I have reached a settlement," wrote Sandmann on Twitter, adding that the terms were confidential. Following the 2019 incident in Washington, D.C., many media outlets and Democratic politicians criticized Sandmann for a confrontation with a Native American elder at the Lincoln Memorial following the march."
Sandmann filed 13 lawsuits after his 2019 incident when he committed the horrible crime of wearing a MAGA hat at a pro rally and smiling at a native American drummer…"His filing against NBC-Universal and MSNBC reportedly asked for $275 million in damages. CNN and the Washington Post both settled defamation lawsuits from Sandmann in 2020 for undisclosed amounts."
I hope he's getting rich off of these corrupt liars…I hope Kyle Rittenhouse is taking notes…Because them same people should owe him possibly an even bigger wad of cash. The disgusting frauds on these networks who randomly toss words like "racism" around like an order of French Frys at McDonalds at some point might want to understand that it's not cool to just randomly and viciously slander anyone with whom they disagree.
Nicholas Sandmann reaches settlement with NBC in Covington Catholic High...
'Covington Kid' Nicholas Sandmann reached a settlement with NBC-Universal over the network's coverage of a 2019 interaction with a Native American elder in Washington, D.C.
Just remember kids…If you are ascribing an ounce of credibility to the MessNBC's and the CNN's and the Washington Posts of the world…they've all had to pay for the way they treated this kid.
Liars.

cnn, wapo, now nbc… good
awesome media we have in this babified world of morons

Rittenhouse might have an expanded list of targets. Joyless Bahar was awful to him in the View. To be honest the current president is a legit candidate to get his ass sued.
Free speech, freedom of the press is a foundational principle in this country…but when exercised irresponsibly it can be terribly harmful to real people and to to institutions of the press.
It's interesting isn't it that a teenager is the one making these phonies pay.
Rodeo:
Rittenhouse might have an expanded list of targets.
Hello…Joe…was that you labeling Rittenhouse a "white supremacist"? You may just have to put Hunter's money, where your mouth is?
I wonder. If it is all but a certainty that Rittenhouse gets paid and I think he will to some extent does that mean it's all but a certainty that Dominion gets paid too?

No…it was Antrim County that spilled the beans.

I have not followed their case. The truth is, my professional plate is full. That said, any system that something simple, can change results to the magnitude it did, tells me it's ripe for fraud…period.

The Trump Misogy-Meter: Mad Men Edition
The Trump Misogy-Meter meets Donald Trump where he lives – stuck in a perpetual Mad Men era in which men bask in the freedom of male privilege surrounded by a bevy of beauties willing to serve as secretaries and "something between a mother and a waitress" [1.1]. Trump (b. 1946) came of age at a time when society expected women to shape their bodies and comportment to please men who saw them as sexual objects, dutiful housewives, and little else.
Perhaps shielded in a bubble of wealth, Trump missed the seismic shift in gender relations that feminists brought about with the Women's Liberation Movement in the early 1970s. He fails to understand gender politics and American culture as they operate today. He must share the stage – and power – with modern Peggy Olsons, and, as we have seen, The Donald never did learn how to share.
Elisabeth Moss as Peggy Olson, AMC/Lionsgate
Fortunately for those perplexed by Trump's retrograde views on women, Matthew Weiner's Mad Men offers a rich tutorial. Trump's sexism veers between misogyny and chauvinism, punctuated with heavy doses of locker room bravado. Who better to illuminate this behavior than the Mad Men of Sterling Cooper?
AMC/Lionsgate
For the next five months The Trump Misogy-Meter will assess Mr. Trump's past and present treatment of women in comparison to the following Mad Men characters or combinations thereof. (As fans of the series can imagine, narrowing the field to four was a difficult task).
Pete Campbell, main character and Sterling Cooper Accounts Executive, reduces women to their physical appearance. His tendency to ogle hardly distinguishes him from his peers who engage in the same behavior as a matter of course. Pete's disdainful treatment of women, however, reveals his own petulance and insecurities. For this reason, Pete Campbell represents the objectification of women.
Pete Campbell (Vincent Kartheiser)
Harry Crane begins his Mad Men career as a faithful husband and ends it as an odious letch. Reasons for this dramatic transformation remain unclear. This repugnant B-Team character and Sterling Cooper's Head of Television makes hitting on other men's wives and girlfriends a recreational pastime. Harry Crane epitomizes the hound.
Harry Crane (Rich Sommer)
Joey Baird, a loathsome minor character who briefly works as an artist at SCDP, comes closer to true misogyny than any Mad Men character. Given the context this is a significant achievement. Joey revels in male dominance and viciously berates women who challenge his autonomy. Joey Baird represents cruelty toward women.
Joey Baird (Matt Long)
Jim Hobart, minor character and CEO of advertising behemoth McCann Erickson, cannot abide women who transgress the supposed boundaries of femininity and attempt to share male power. To keep them in their place he minimizes their contributions and questions their intellect. Jim Hobart signifies the infantilizing of women.
Jim Hobart (H. Richard Greene)
Neither I, nor the Republican Party, can anticipate the surprising forms Mr. Trump's sexism will take. With this in mind, I reserve the right to call on the occasional Ferg or Vile Greg to assess Mr. Trump's conduct as necessary.
For those wondering why a historian from middle-America would bother to wade into the sludge of the 2016 presidential campaign, the answer is simple. I love to write, I love Mad Men, and I love my country. Hillary Clinton's historic candidacy along with The Donald's unbridled sexism make for an explosive combination. Trump's views on women exemplify the past, not the present, and certainly not the future of the United States. I would like to keep it that way.

– ALC Washington Report – June 1, 2015
Jun 1, 2015 | General | 0 comments
Future Careers in Logging As of June 1st, the Future Careers In Logging Act, H.R. 1215 and S. 694, had 17 sponsors in the House and 4 sponsors in the Senate. The ALC has put out a request that members contact their respective House and Senate representatives and ask that they cosponsor the Bill. John Deere has graciously allowed the use of their Bipac site to contact members of congress on this issue. The web address is: https://www.bipac.net/alert.asp?g=DEERE. Right to Haul Act – Highway Bill On May 23, the U.S. Senate passed a two month extension on the current highway bill that was sent to President Obama for his signature. As of June 1st, the Right to Haul Act has not been re-introduced in either the House or Senate. The ALC is attempting to contact members of Congress who stated they would be willing to re-introduce in mid-March during the fly-in. Wildfire Funding The two competing pieces of legislation (the Wildfire Funding Act and the Flame Act Amendment) for wild land firefighting funding appear to have stalled. While both sides of the aisle (and the Hill) seem to agree that reform is needed, there is a question of where the funds will be derived from and the accountability for the use the funds. While the Wildfire Funding Act allows the funds to be derived from a FEMA type account linked to natural disasters, the Flame Act Amendment requests that for every dollar spent fighting wildfires that at least 50 cents also be budgeted for forest management activities that would reduce the threat of catastrophic wildfires. The ALC supports the Flame Act Amendment. National Forest Management Improvement Act of 2015 On May 27, the House Natural Resources Committee released a draft bill, the National Forest Management Improvement Act of 2015. The legislation will be the subject of a hearing on Wednesday, June 3, in the Subcommittee on Federal Lands. The general approach of the bill is to provide authorities that the Forest Service can use immediately, without requiring additional forest-level or agency wide planning or assessments. Some of the issues addressed in the bill include: Providing further categorical exclusions for a variety of projects, and to reduce the required analysis of projects developed by collaborative groups; providing expedited authority for salvage, reforestation, and recovery projects on NFS lands impacted by wildfires; requiring the posting of a bond by groups filing suit against collaborative projects; adjusting the uses of Secure Rural Schools Title II funds to create self-sustaining local advisory committees by focusing 50% of that funding to timber management projects, and to use proceeds from RAC projects to fund additional forest management; addressing disposition of revenues from Stewardship contracts to provide 25% revenue sharing with counties, create additional opportunities for additional restoration work, and address fiscal management issues which have disrupted the use of Stewardship contracting in the past; creating a revolving fund which can be used to develop forest management projects, the cost of which can be billed to winning contractors to revert back to the fund for additional project work. Hearings On May 14, the House Natural Resources Subcommittee on Federal Lands held an oversight hearing on the impact of litigation on forest management, the Forest Service's response to the growing challenge of litigation, and related impacts upon forest health. Subcommittee Chairman Tom McClintock (R-CA) began the hearing by outlining the fact that "Between 1989 and 2008, 1,125 lawsuits were filed against the Forest Service. A quarter century of extremist litigation has placed our forests in extreme distress. Forest Service employees are demoralized and have little incentive to plan meaningful projects." Further, the Committee found in a 1999 report by the National Academy of Public Administration that planning consumed an estimated 40% of the work load at the local level. Today, Forest Service personnel estimate that the amount has grown to 60% of field level employees' time spent solely on planning, which includes environmental analysis and other procedural requirements. Timelines for analysis have also increased from several months to several years for a typical forest management project. Correspondingly, the expense of preparation has also increased dramatically. Line officers who were involved in forest management projects in the 1980's recall 3-6 month timeframes to complete NEPA environmental analyses. Agency data indicates that over the past ten years, timeframes to complete environmental assessments for modest sized forest management projects have increased from 14.7 months to 20.1 months. Farm Bill Last year's Farm Bill authorized the use of Designation by Prescription (DxP) as an acceptable method for the Forest Service to specify how forest stands may be treated in timber sales. Initial direction on the use of the Farm Bill authority severely limited the scope of how DxP could be used. On May 20, a new direction was issued that reflects Congress' intent to only restrict its use in tree measurement sales. Northern Long-Eared Bat On April 2, 2015, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) announced that it would be listing the northern long-eared bat as threatened, rather than endangered, as it had originally proposed in October of 2013. The listing gives the bat new protections but does not impose all of the requirements that would have been applicable had the bat been listed as endangered. A "threatened" species is likely to become endangered in the foreseeable future, whereas an "endangered" species is currently in danger of extinction. On the very same day, the Center for Biological Diversity filed a complaint for declaratory and injunctive relief before the US District Court for the District of Columbia, Civ. No. 1:15-cv-00477 requesting that the court, (1) declare that the Service's failure to engage in a public process and prepare either an environmental assessment or environmental impact statement analyzing the potential environmental impacts of, and alternatives to, the interim 4(d) rule, prior to adopting it, violated NEPA and is unlawful; (2) vacate the interim 4(d) rule and remand it to the Service; (3) award Plaintiff fees and costs; and (4) grant such other relief as the Court deems just and proper. Waters of the United States (WOTUS) On May 27, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers released their final Waters of the United States (WOTUS) rule. According to a press release issued by the EPA, the ruling "Does not create any new permitting requirements and maintains all previous exemptions and exclusions." House Speaker John Boehner release a statement stating, ""The administration's decree to unilaterally expand federal authority is a raw and tyrannical power grab that will crush jobs. House Members of both parties have joined more than 30 governors and government leaders to reject EPA's disastrous WOTUS rule. These leaders know firsthand that the rule is being shoved down the throats of hardworking people with no input, and places landowners, small businesses, farmers, and manufacturers on the road to a regulatory and economic hell." Stay tuned!

SRO America / Preview
Pirelli World Challenge inaugural Barber weekend loaded with races and contenders
The 25th Anniversary of the championship, sees the series head to Barber Motorsports Park in Birmingham, Ala.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - The third race weekend of the 2014 Pirelli World Challenge season, the 25th Anniversary of the championship, sees the series head to Barber Motorsports Park in Birmingham, Ala. for the first time in the history of the series. The weekend at the picturesque, 2.38-mile permanent road course, presented by RECARO, will feature Rounds 3 and 4 for the GT, GT-A and GTS categories, while the season kicks off with Rounds 1 and 2 for Touring Car (TC), the new Touring Car A class (TCA) and the Touring Car B-Spec class (TCB).
It all adds up to an action-packed weekend with four total races, one round apiece for all classes on Saturday and the second on Sunday. More than 70 total cars are expected in what will be the Pirelli World Challenge's biggest total car count thus far this year. Only a handful of drivers have past race experience on the circuit, which will make the weekend all the more intriguing.
Pirelli World Challenge GT: Cadillac seeks encore of 1-2 after Long Beach
Cadillac Racing secured a 1-2 finish at Long Beach, and drivers Andy Pilgrim and Johnny O'Connell are now 1-2 in the Pirelli World Challenge GT championship heading into Barber. But while Cadillac has a wealth of experience on its pair of CTS-V.Rs, they, like the rest of the field, are new to the Birmingham, Ala. track.
Pilgrim, of Boca Raton, Fla., seeks his first win of the year in the No. 8 Cadillac Racing Cadillac CTS-V.R after a pair of runner-up finishes. Meanwhile O'Connell, of Flowery Branch, Ga. in the No. 3 Cadillac Racing Cadillac CTS-V.R, looks to go back-to-back after his Long Beach win.

Ferrari could be on course for its first win of the year with either of the R. Ferri Motorsports or DragonSpeed/ESM entries in GT. Anthony Lazzaro, of Atlanta, Ga., finished third at Long Beach in the No. 61 R. Ferri Motorsports Ferrari 458 Italia GT3 and was the top FIA GT3-spec car in the field last race. Meanwhile Mike Hedlund, of Woodside, Calif., has back-to-back top-10 finishes in the No. 64 DragonSpeed/ESM Ferrari 458 Italia GT3 to open the year and seems primed to better those results this weekend.
GMG Racing put two of its Audis in the top five at Long Beach, and the Audi R8 Ultra could be an outright contender this weekend as the car has past track experience. Andrew Palmer, of Chicago, is in the No. 21 GMG Racing Audi R8 Ultra and James Sofronas, of Villa Park, Calif., is in the No. 14 Spyder/The Thermal Club Audi R8 Ultra. Palmer was fourth, Sofronas fifth last time out and the pair look for podiums this weekend.
Mike Skeen, of Charlotte, N.C., is another podium contender as the CRP Racing team has a race under its belt with the No. 2 Hawk Performance Audi R8 Ultra. Skeen finished sixth in his first start with the car last race.
The K-PAX Racing pair of Alex Figge and Robert Thorne showed impressive pace at Long Beach and look to back it up with results to match this weekend. Figge, of Denver, Col., set the fastest Long Beach race lap in the No. 9 K-PAX Racing McLaren 12C GT3. Thorne, the first-year driver of Littleton, Col., seeks his first race finish of the year in the No. 6 K-PAX Racing McLaren 12C GT3 after poor luck spoiled his opening two races.
A solitary Porsche rounds out the 10-car class in the form of Tim Bergmeister, of Langfeld, Germany, in the No. 31 EFFORT Racing Porsche GT3 R. Bergmeister was 10th at St. Petersburg, eighth at Long Beach and should continue his and the team's improvement this weekend.
Pirelli World Challenge GT-A: Seven points separate Mancuso, Mills entering Barber
The first two GT-A races have seen six different drivers make the podium, and the battle should be intense in the GT subcategory this weekend as well.
Nick Mancuso, of Chicago, leads the standings with 121 points scored in the No. 16 R. Ferri Motorsports Ferrari 458 Italia GT3. But contact affected his race in Long Beach and denied him a GT-A win, which instead went to Michael Mills, of Angleton, Texas in the No. 41 EFFORT Racing Porsche GT3 R. Mills has 114 points and is primed to take the class lead this weekend.

Henrik Hedman, of Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. in the No. 10 DragonSpeed Ferrari 458 Italia GT3 and Jeff Courtney, of Milwaukee, Wis. in the No. 99 Kenda/RecStuff.com Audi R8 Ultra completed the GT-A podium at Long Beach. They look to go even better this weekend.
Seeking their first podiums of 2014 are the solitary Mercedes-Benz and SRT Viper apiece in class. Tim Pappas, of Boston, Mass., races the No. 54 Black River Caviar Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT3 and Dan Knox, of Pilot Point, Texas, races in the No. 80 ACS Manufacturing/Performance SpeedTech SRT Viper GT3-R. Pappas was fourth and Knox fifth among GT-A classified drivers at Long Beach.
GMG Racing's pair of GT-A classified drivers continue their seasons this weekend. Bret Curtis, of Austin, Texas drives the No. 32 Spectra/United Steel/Valspar Audi R8 Ultra and Bill Ziegler of Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla. is in the No. 95 Swisher Racing/GMG Audi R8 Ultra.
The Reiter Engineering team returns this weekend, with Marcelo Hahn of Sao Paulo, Brazil back for his second series start in the No. 0 Reiter Engineering Lamborghini Gallardo FL2. Hahn failed to finish due to a mechanical, but qualified 10th in his series debut at St. Petersburg in the 23-car combined GT/GT-A field.
Pirelli World Challenge GTS: Barber wide-open between Kia, Porsche, Ford, Chevy
Like GT-A, GTS has had six different podium finishers from the first two races, from four different manufacturers. After his Long Beach win, Kia Racing/Kinetic Motorsports' Nic Jonsson, of Buford, Ga., now leads the standings with 221 points, in the No. 36 Kia Motors America Kia Optima. Teammate Mark Wilkins, of Toronto, in the No. 38 Kia Motors America Kia Optima is now fifth in points after his third-place result there.
One of the strongest starters in 2014 has been series newcomer Tony Buffomante, of Naperville, Ill., in the No. 33 Capaldi Racing/Ford Racing Ford Mustang Boss 302S. With a fourth and a second, Buffomante has been off to a stellar start in Pirelli World Challenge and ranks second in points with 195. Teammate Brad Adams, of New Orleans, in the No. 96 Voodoo Music Experience/DatDog/Yo MTV Raps Ford Mustang Boss 302S finished ninth last race at Long Beach and is currently 12th in points.
#36 Kia Racing/Kinetic Motorsports Kia Optima: Nic Jonsson
A pair of Chevrolet drivers scored podiums at the St. Petersburg season opener, in the form of defending GTS champion Lawson Aschenbach and perennial contender Andy Lee. Aschenbach, the St. Petersburg winner, hails from Palm Beach Gardens, Fla. and is in the No. 1 Blackdog Speed Shop Chevrolet Camaro. Lee, of Colorado Springs, Col., was second at St. Pete in the No. 20 Crown Seven/BestIT Chevrolet Camaro. Both have past Barber experience, and that could play to their benefit.
The other podium finisher this year is Jack Baldwin, of Marietta, Ga., in the No. 73 RESET-MD/StopTech/Motul Porsche Cayman S. Like Aschenbach, Baldwin seeks a rebound from a tough Long Beach weekend. Baldwin's GTSport Racing team needed to perform extensive repairs to their chassis after its accident in Long Beach.
As ever, the trio of Aschenbach, Lee and Baldwin will be supported by their teammates. The second Blackdog entry is Tony Gaples, of Libertyville, Ill. in the No. 11 Blackdog Speed Shop Chevrolet Camaro, second BestIT entry is rookie Geoff Reeves, of Cleveland, Ohio in the No. 40 Shadow Works/BestIT Chevrolet Camaro and second GTSport entry is Buz McCall, of Boca Raton, Fla. in the No. 72 RESET-MD/StopTech/Motul Porsche Cayman S.
TRG-AMR North America's trio of cars could be contenders. Drew Regitz, of Denver, Col., posted a career-best sixth place finish in Long Beach in the No. 02 TRG-AMR North America Aston Martin GT4. Looking to improve on results of 10th and 12th in Long Beach are Nick Esayian, of San Diego, Calif. in the No. 34 Natural Cures Aston Martin GT4 and Jorge de la Torre, of McAllen, Texas, in the No. 04 TRG-AMR North America Aston Martin GT4, respectively.
The Ford Mustang Boss 302 contingent beyond the Capaldi Racing pair is strong. Jack Roush Jr., of Livonia, Mich., has past track experience in the No. 60 ROUSH Road Racing Ford Mustang Boss 302R and won the pole at Long Beach before finishing fourth in the race.
The Motorsports Development Group pair of Alec Udell and Mitch Landry could also be two to watch. Udell, of The Woodlands, Texas, finished fifth in Long Beach in the No. 17 Watson Racing Ford Mustang Boss 302S; Landry, of Lake Charles, La., continues to develop in the No. 97 VersaCrane/DeepSouth Ford Mustang Boss 302S.
Nissan will have its lineup back at full strength this weekend. Ric Bushey, of Virginia Beach, Va., is in the No. 51 Nissan/Motul Nissan 370Z for SFR Enterprises, while Brian Kleeman, of Baltimore, Md., looks to make his first 2014 start in the No. 07 Nissan/DXD Clutches/Aeromotions Nissan 370Z. Kleeman had a mechanical affect him at St. Petersburg and was only able to practice in Long Beach. RS Werkes Racing's Don Istook, of River Oaks, Texas, continues his full season in the No. 01 Forge Motorsports/Recaro Audi TT RS.
There are four first-time entries in 2014 scheduled to start on the grid this weekend. Local driver Clint Guthrie, of Birmingham, Ala., will make his series debut in the No. 4 Medical Properties Trust Porsche 911. A second local driver, Mikey Taylor of Auburn, Ala., will make his series debut in the No. 09 State Traditions/National Bank of Commerce Aston Martin GT4, the fourth car for TRG-AMR.
Additionally, Compass360 Racing will see former Pirelli World Challenge TC class race winner Ryan Eversley, of Atlanta, Ga., drive the Children's Tumor Foundation/Touge Tuning No. 70 GTS Subaru WRX STi, featuring artwork by young NF Hero Jeffrey Owen Hanson.
Finally, Craig Capaldi, of Richmond, Mich., makes his first 2014 start in the No. 68 Wolverine Bronze/Capital R Ford Mustang Boss 302S for Capaldi Racing.
Five other cars return to action in GTS after missing Long Beach to round out the 28-car class. Dean Martin, of Westland, Mich., is in the No. 50 Picture Cars East/Rehagen Racing Ford Mustang Boss 302S. Chris Outzen, of Sudbury, Mass., also is back in another Mustang – the No. 87 iTrackZone Ford Mustang Boss 302S for DWW Motorsports.
Robert Stout, of Brownsburg, Ind., is in the No. 86 Scion/Lucas Oil/TRD Scion FR-S, after the Ken Stout Racing, Inc. team took the time between St. Petersburg and Barber to continue car development. Breathless Performance returns with Mark Klenin, of Denver, Col., in the No. 62 Premiere Copier/SCHOMP Aston Martin GT4 and Fernando Seferlis, of Miami Lakes, Fla., in the No. 29 Compulab-Panama Chevrolet Camaro.
Pirelli World Challenge TC: Honda versus Mazda in season opener
Karl Thomson's Compass360 Racing team took the top three spots in Touring Car in 2013, and looks for a repeat in 2014 albeit with new drivers.
Anchoring the effort is Michael DiMeo of Toronto, Ontario, in the No. 71 ENJ Excavating/Formcrete/HPD Honda Civic Si. DiMeo made his series debut at the Houston season finale in 2013 and finished fourth and third in the two races. A second car, the No. 72 Children's Tumor Foundation/HPD/Racing4Research.org Honda Civic Si, is entered with team principal Thomson, also of Toronto, behind the wheel.
Former World Challenge race winner Jason Saini, of Chicago, makes his return to the championship in the No. 28 Grid-1 Motorsports Mazda MX-5. Meanwhile Jon Miller, of North Tustin, Calif., also returns to the series in the No. 68 BeTheMatch.org/Titan Motorsports/Loudbasstard Honda Civic Si for the new Cawley Motorsports team.
Another series veteran, Colin Cohen, of Southlake, Texas, is entered in RS Werkes Racing's No. 03 RS Werkes/Forge/Recaro VW GTI.
Series debutante Adam Poland, of Mt. Vernon, Texas, brings a second Mazda to the class in the No. 11 Eastex Motorsports/Poland Construction Mazda MX-5. The young gun moves into Pirelli World Challenge after several years racing in Spec Miata.
Pirelli World Challenge TCA: New class, new opportunities to win
In the new Touring Car A class, an evolution of the current TC class but with a focus on cost containment with cars with more stock parts, there are seven entries. Drivers are a mix of those would have competed in TC in the past, with the potential of new drivers and models to premiere later this year.
Kinetic Motorsports has a pair of Kia Forte Koups entered in the category. Russell Smith, of Buford, Ga., will be in the No. 38 entry with rookie Jason Wolfe, of Mount Vernon, Ohio, in the No. 36. Smith has 11 career starts with a win at the Sonoma round in TCB in 2012; Wolfe shifts into Pirelli World Challenge from the USF2000 open-wheel series, where he raced in 2013.
Shea Holbrook, of Groveland, Fla., races her No. 67 Radium/TRUECar/Lucas Oil/Hendrick Honda Honda Civic Si. She spent 2012 in TC, 2013 in TCB and now will race in TCA in 2014.
Besides Wolfe, there are four other rookies in class: Daniel Fernandez, of Bogota, Colombia, in the No. 5 NDP Motorsports Honda Civic Si; Jason Cherry, of Gambrills, Md. in the No. 13 Avpro/Purposeful Architecture Mazda MX-5; Justin Hayes, of Austin, Texas, in the No. 97 Grid-1 Motorsports Mazda RX-8; and Michael Camus, of Miami, Fla., in the No. 98 Breathless Performance Mazda MX-5.
Pirelli World Challenge TCB: Palmer leads entries, with many rookies in class
Tyler Palmer, of San Diego, Calif., starred during his races in the second half of the 2013 Pirelli World Challenge Touring Car B-Spec season. He finished on the podium in all but one of his nine starts, and swept the season-ending doubleheader at Houston for his first two series wins.
He'll begin the 2014 season in the No. 37 MINI of Charleston Racing/MINI USA Mini Cooper, the same car driven to the 2013 TCB class championship by Robbie Davis of Dallas. Davis, unfortunately, is not on the entry list this weekend.
Chris Capaldi, a TCB veteran from Imlay City, Mich., will be back for 2014 in the No. 31 Wolverine Bronze Company/Capaldi Racing Ford Fiesta. Capaldi posted a best finish of seventh twice last year, in 13 starts.
Further series veterans entered include Johan Schwartz, P.J. Groenke and Scott Kuhne. Schwartz, of Copenhagen, Denmark, will be in the No. 12 ADA/Animas/American Honda Honda Fit. Groenke, of Toronto, is in the No. 66 Verax.ca/Tundra/Mulligan Gold Honda Fit. Kuhne, of Surprise, Ariz., returns for the first time since the 2013 Circuit of the Americas season opener in the No. 00 FIAT USA/Pirelli Tire/SRT Motorsports Fiat 500.
Three others with past series experience, in Jim Cleveland, Chris Sneed and Andrei Kisel, are also entered this weekend. Cleveland, of Brisbane, Australia, switches from a Fiat 500 to a Mini Cooper in the No. 78 Downunder Motorsports Mini Cooper. Sneed, of Pfafftown, NC, will be in the No. 34 Sneed4Speed Mini Cooper. Meanwhile Kisel, of North Vancouver, B.C., will be in the No. 57 Racing.ca/LaptopScreen.com Mini Cooper.
One key entry to watch this weekend as well is Nick Esayian, Pirelli World Challenge series veteran and driver of the No. 34 TRG-AMR North America Aston Martin GT4 in GTS, who will also race in TCB Round 1 at Barber Motorsports Park in his continued support of the Special Ops Warrior Foundation. Esayian will start from the back of the TCB field in a Fiat 500 on Saturday and will donate $250 for every car he passes during the race.
Bolstering the field are seven other confirmed rookies. Jason Fichter, of Jupiter, Fla., in the No. 7 Surf Fire & Security Mini Cooper and Tom Noble, of St. Louis Park, Minn. in the No. 24 4R Motorsports/West Real Estate/Hawk Brakes Mini Cooper. Fichter races for the Breathless Performance team, which won six 2013 TCB races with Ernie Francis Jr., and Noble races with the 4R Motorsports team, which won twice with Palmer.
Honda's trio of rookies includes Brian Price, of Middletown, Va., in the No. 51 Unlimited Performance/RP Racing Honda Fit, Paul Holton, of Tallahassee, Fla., in the No. 65 Radium/TRUECar/Lucas Oil Honda Fit and Damon Surzyshyn, of Winnipeg, Ontario, in the No. 87 RaceLabz/Honda Performance Honda Fit. Surzyshyn steps into the RaceLabz team, where Joel Lipperini took two wins in 2013. Ford has a 14-year-old rookie in young Nathan Stacy, of Owassa, Okla., in the No. 14 TSG/Ford Racing Ford Fiesta. Fiat also has a rookie in Austin Snader, of Fulshear, Texas, in the No. 99 SR Enterprises Fiat 500.

Q: Union-ing two custom classes returns duplicates I have two custom classes, ChangeRequest and ChangeRequests, where a ChangeRequests can contain many ChangeRequest instances.
public class ChangeRequests : IXmlSerializable, ICloneable, IEnumerable<ChangeRequest>,
    IEquatable<ChangeRequests> { ... }

public class ChangeRequest : ICloneable, IXmlSerializable, IEquatable<ChangeRequest>
    { ... }

I am trying to do a union of two ChangeRequests instances.  However, duplicates do not seem to be removed.  My MSTest unit test is as follows:
var cr1 = new ChangeRequest { CRID = "12" };
var crs1 = new ChangeRequests { cr1 };
var crs2 = new ChangeRequests
               {
                   cr1.Clone(),
                   new ChangeRequest { CRID = "34" }
               };
Assert.AreEqual(crs1[0], crs2[0], "First CR in both ChangeRequests should be equal");
var unionedCRs = new ChangeRequests(crs1.Union<ChangeRequest>(crs2));
ChangeRequests expected = crs2.Clone();
Assert.AreEqual(expected, unionedCRs, "Duplicates should be removed from a Union");

The test fails in the last line, and unionedCRs contains two copies of cr1.  When I tried to debug and step through each line, I had a breakpoint in ChangeRequest.Equals(object) on the first line, as well as in the first line of ChangeRequest.Equals(ChangeRequest), but neither were hit.  Why does the union contain duplicate ChangeRequest instances?
Edit: as requested, here is ChangeRequests.Equals(ChangeRequests):
public bool Equals(ChangeRequests other)
{
    if (ReferenceEquals(this, other))
    {
        return true;
    }

    return null != other && this.SequenceEqual<ChangeRequest>(other);
}

And here's ChangeRequests.Equals(object):
public override bool Equals(object obj)
{
    return Equals(obj as ChangeRequests);
}

Edit: I overrode GetHashCode on both ChangeRequest and ChangeRequests but still in my test, if I do IEnumerable<ChangeRequest> unionedCRsIEnum = crs1.Union<ChangeRequest>(crs2);, unionedCRsIEnum ends up with two copies of the ChangeRequest with CRID 12.
Edit:  something has to be up with my Equals or GetHashCode implementations somewhere, since Assert.AreEqual(expected, unionedCRs.Distinct(), "Distinct should remove duplicates"); fails, and the string representations of expected and unionedCRs.Distinct() show that unionedCRs.Distinct() definitely has two copies of CR 12.

A: Make sure your GetHashCode implementation is consistent with your Equals - the Enumerable.Union method does appear to use both.
You should get a warning from the compiler if you've implemented one but not the other; it's still up to you to make sure that both methods agree with each other. Here's a convenient summary of the rules: Why is it important to override GetHashCode when Equals method is overridden?

A: I don't believe that Assert.AreEqual() examines the contents of the sequence - it compares the sequence objects themselves, which are clearly not equal.
What you want is a SequenceEqual() method, that will actually examine the contents of two sequences. This answer may help you. It's a response to a similar question, that describes how to compare to IEnumerable<> sequences.
You could easily take the responder's answer, and create an extension method to make the calls look more like assertions:
public static class AssertionExt
{
  public static bool AreSequencesEqual<T>( IEnumerable<T> expected,
                                           IEnumerable<T> sequence )
  {
    Assert.AreEqual(expected.Count(), sequence .Count());

    IEnumerator<Token> e1 = expected.GetEnumerator();
    IEnumerator<Token> e2 = sequence .GetEnumerator();

    while (e1.MoveNext() && e2.MoveNext())
    {
        Assert.AreEqual(e1.Current, e2.Current);
    }
  }
}

Alternatively you could use SequenceEqual(), to compare the sequences, realizing that it won't provide any information about which elements are not equal.

A: As LBushkin says, Assert.AreEqual will just call Equals on the sequences.
You can use the SequenceEqual extension method though:
Assert.IsTrue(expected.SequenceEqual(unionedCRs));

That won't give much information if it fails, however.
You may want to use the test code we wrote for MoreLINQ which was sequence-focused - if the sequences aren't equal, it will specify in what way they differ. (I'm trying to get a link to the source file in question, but my network connection is rubbish.)

in the midst of sensory contacts.
one who's crossed over attachment.
with regard to their words.
to the cycling of time.
 Nd.I: "Independent of before and the end" = no craving or view with regard to past or future.
 For discussions of how the awakened one cannot be classified even in the present, see MN 72 and SN XXII.85-86.
 Nd.I: "He sees seclusion in the midst of sensory contacts" = he sees contact as empty of self. This passage may also refer to the fact that the awakened person experiences sensory contact as if disjoined from it. On this point, see MN 140 and MN 146, quoted in The Mind Like Fire Unbound, pp. 116 and 113.
 Beyond conviction and dispassion -- The Pali here can also mean, "A person of no conviction, he does not put away passion." This is an example of the kind of pun occasionally used in Pali poetry for its shock value. Other examples are at Dhp 97 and the end of Sn IV.13. For an explanation of what is meant by being beyond dispassion, see note 2 to Sn IV.6.
 The Pali word tanhaya -- by/through craving -- here is a "lamp," i.e., a single word that functions in two separate phrases.
 "Embraced/rejected, what's self/what lies against self" -- a pun on the pair of Pali words, attam/nirattam.
 "Conjuring, the cycling of time" -- two meanings of the Pali word, kappam.
 "Doctrines, phenomena" -- two meanings of the Pali word, dhamma.


Primarily film and music industry is considered as a source of mere entertainment but there are few creative people who try to mend this notion and use this medium to convey a strong message. One person who always comes up with something different from the conventional cinema, as different as his first concept in the 2017 super hit, Rabb Da Radio is Tarnvir Singh Jagpal. Now he is coming out with yet new concept in the movie Daana Paani. The whole star cast including the director Tarnvir Singh Jagpal and Cultural Minister Navjot Singh Sidhu has already launched the trailer of the film in a press conference held in Chandigarh on 31st March 2018. Today, it released on Youtube.
Daana Paani is a periodic drama film set in 1962 which stars ace actor Jimmy Shergill, who will play the character of a fauji, Hav. Mehtab Singh, alongside Simi Chahal. The pollywood beauty is playing the character of an oppressed village-girl Basant Kaur. The movie is produced by Nanokey Studios & GK Entertainment in association with Cam-Art Films. The story of the film is written by the award-winning storywriter Jass Grewal. The stellar star cast includes veterans like Gurpreet Ghuggi and Nirmal Rishi and Kanika Mann.
"We've crafted a rarely seen and compelling look at life in Punjab on the cusp of so much change in 1962, during the difficulties and tragedies of the Indo-Sino war as its consequences reverberates to those caught in small world thinking and strict ideals of village living . We look forward to bringing this heart-felt story to our audience", Ranbir Singh Grewal of Nanokey Studios quoted.
The trailer of the movie has already been released on the official YouTube channel of Rhythm Boys on 7th April 2018.

what is a full sexual health screening
What does full STD screen include?
This test screens for gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV. If you're sexually active and have unprotected sex, it's important to screen for STDs so you can stay informed about your sexual health.
What does a full STD panel test for?
Standard PlushCare STD Panel
How do I get a full STD panel?
If you want to get tested for an STI, or have a sexual health check-up, you can choose to find your own doctor or visit a sexual health clinic, family planning clinic, youth health centre, women's health centre or Aboriginal community controlled health services.
Can a urine test detect STDs?
Urine testing is currently primarily used to detect bacterial STDs. Chlamydia and gonorrhea urine tests are widely available. Trichomoniasis urine tests are also available, but they are less common. The gold standard for diagnosing bacterial STDs, such as chlamydia and gonorrhea, used to be bacterial culture.
How long do STD results take?
STI test results can take between five and 10 days. If you have testing done at Planned Parenthood, we'll contact you ONLY if your results are positive. If this is the case, we'll give you a call to ask you to come back for follow up. Planned Parenthood does not contact patients if the results are negative.16-Aug-2018
What STD is not curable?
Currently, there are 4 sexually transmitted infections (STIs or STDs) that are not curable: herpes (HSV), hepatitis B (HBV), human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and human papillomavirus (HPV).
What is the best STD test?
What is the best at home STD Test
What does Chlamydia look like?
Chlamydia symptoms can include:
What are the signs of STI in a woman?
Common symptoms of STIs
Changes in urination. An STI can be indicated by pain or a burning sensation during urination, the need to pee more frequently, or the presence of blood in the urine.
Abnormal vaginal discharge.
Itching in the vaginal area.
Pain during sex.
Abnormal bleeding.
Rashes or sores.
Should you get tested after every partner?
You're sexually active.
How do you get a full STI check?
If you think you may have a sexually transmitted infection (STI), go to your GP or local sexual health or genitourinary medicine (GUM) clinic. Most STIs can be successfully treated, but it's important to get any symptoms checked as soon as possible. Read about visiting an STI clinic.
Can you get a STD from urine on a toilet seat?
These organisms can't live or thrive on hard surfaces — including toilet seats. Bacterial STIs can't survive outside of your body's mucous membranes. For this reason, it's nearly impossible to contract an STI from a toilet seat.11-May-2021
What happens if you pee before a STD test?
But there's one exception: If you need to give a urine sample, you'll want to avoid peeing for 2 hours leading up to the "deposit." "During these urine tests, we're looking for DNA of the STD organism," Ghanem says. If you pee too close to your test, you're clearing your urethra of that DNA build-up.20-Apr-2018
Can a UTI be mistaken for chlamydia?

Which STD test takes the longest?
The antibody test uses a blood or saliva sample to look for HIV antibodies. It takes the longest to get a reliable result, at 23–90 days after exposure.29-Sep-2020
How can you tell if a man has chlamydia?
Symptoms in men
pain when urinating.
white, cloudy or watery discharge from the tip of the penis.
burning or itching in the urethra (the tube that carries urine out of the body)
pain in the testicles.
What are the odds of getting an STD?
It can be sexually transmitted by vaginal, oral, or anal means. After just one episode of sex with an infected partner, a female has a 60% to 90% chance of being infected by a male, while a male's risk of being infected by a female is only 20%.

With only a handful of matchups between teams with winning records, welcome to the most boring weekend of the season. That doesn't mean there aren't good games, but nothing like we've grown accustom to. As for me, I'll be at Senior Day in Tuscaloosa. I love Senior Day.
Much was decided last week for divisional champions. Dreams were dashed, potential was realized, and Houdiniesque escapes were performed. A reminder that before you call your local sports radio guy to complain about rankings or schedule strength of whatever team you don't like, the season will be viewed as a whole and divisions and conferences are not won by votes but by execution on the field of play. Once the complete picture is there, let the complaining over who the fourth best team in the country begin. As far as playoff expansion, that's for fans whose teams can't win the right games. If my favorite team falls short, then maybe we should've worked harder. Of course, I can come up with a dozen reasons to justify why Team A should be in over Team B, but the answer is simple and was said best by Al Davis. Just win, baby.
I've been enjoying the #MACtion during the week. Exciting and cold games on every night. USC and UCLA tangle for the Victory Bell and lately both have worn home uniforms. Michigan is much improved on offense and controls its destiny in the B1G East. I don't think they get it done against Wisconsin this week, though. UAB is going bowling in their first year back and my Music City Bowl tickets have shipped (come on Michigan v Texas A&M).
Last week I should've been in Vegas as I went a perfect 5-0. I now sit at 33-20-2. Against The Spread for Top 25 and SEC I move to 145-98 on the season. I warn you though, my bowl records lately have been abysmal. I promise to foresee the outcomes better this year.
This week I'm taking UAB (+10.5) against Florida; moreover, I'm tempted to take them on the money line. LSU (-15.5) should cover against Tennessee. I like the Over (41) in Fresno St at Wyoming. South Alabama (-5) over Georgia Southern. What has happened to the Eagles? And, Syracuse (+13) against Louisville.


Spanish-owned Palladium Hotel Group will be celebrating the official grand opening of its flagship Costa Mujeres resorts located north of Cancun, Mexico, on 18 February 2019. With an investment of 280 million USD, the development includes 1,146 luxury hotel rooms spread across two new five-star hotels – the 673-room family-friendly Grand Palladium Costa Mujeres Resort & Spa, and the 473-room adults-only TRS Coral Hotel, member of The Leading Hotels of the World, Ltd.; a state-of-the-art Rafa Nadal Tennis Centre; a 4740m2 luxury spa & wellness centre; and a purpose-made village comprising of a variety of restaurants, bars, kids' clubs, amphitheatre and chapel.
One of Mexico's most significant new launches and the largest project within the Palladium Hotel Group portfolio, the resort will celebrate its official grand opening event hosted by Rafael Nadal, Abel Matutes, CEO of Palladium Hotel Group and guests on 18 February 2019. Following a three-month soft launch period for the two hotels, the event recognises the official opening of the properties and celebrates the opening-of-doors of the Rafa Nadal Tennis Centre Costa Mujeres; Nadal's first tennis facility outside of his home island of Mallorca.
The almost untouched region, in the most northern point of Cancun, distinguishes itself as an idyllic location for travellers to experience virgin beaches, crystal clear waters and an abundance of coral reefs and marine species. Guests to the resort can enjoy a unique system of canals and rivers allowing transportation around the properties by boat. Each room boasts a balcony or terrace overlooking the impressive views of the resort and out to sea with many rooms also including premium features like direct access swim-up pools or hydro massage hot tubs on their private balconies.
The Rafa Nadal Tennis Centre Costa Mujeres will offer tennis programmes developed by Nadal and his technical team for all levels and ages, suitable for both hotel guests and local residents. Each tennis programme is personalised and conducted by coaches of the Rafa Nadal Academy by Movistar. With eight clay tennis courts, a football pitch, one paddle court, a gym for warming-up, stretches and basic training, a Rafa Nadal exhibition area, a shop with exclusive premium sports products, and a bar/cafeteria with TV screens, the Rafa Nadal Tennis Centre Costa Mujeres is one of Mexico's most comprehensive tennis facilities.
As well as tennis, guests can enjoy extensive hotel facilities. Grand Palladium Costa Mujeres Resort & Spa offers a wide range of services, ideal for families, couples and groups. The property's facilities feature nine restaurants to suit every taste, four swimming pools, one of them exclusive for children, as well as an impressive 16,000 ft2 convention centre with capacity for 1380 people. The resort also offers a wide range of experiences, with activities such as snorkelling, diving, yoga and pilates and special VIP service for families including a Family Selection Area, as well as a luxury water circuit and extensive treatment list at the world-class Zentropia Palladium Spa & Wellness centre.
For those seeking entertainment, the hotel boasts a star-studded line-up of live music shows at the open-air terraces, as well as its spectacular Chic Cabaret & Restaurant dinner and show offering a gastronomic and sensory journey bursting to the seams with feathers, glitter and sensual choreographics.
TRS Coral Hotel represents the crème de la crème of Palladium Hotel Group's adults-only portfolio with the introduction of its new ideology and service aiming to provide 'Infinite Indulgence', with no limits, to all of its guests. The service includes a premium all-inclusive package, as well as a personal butler and various other benefits such as a complementary in-resort transfer facility, 24-hour room service (available via the property's free app) and unlimited access to all the facilities and services offered at the next-door Grand Palladium Costa Mujeres Resort & Spa. The resort's highlights include international culinary experiences at four á la carte restaurants (in addition to the nine restaurants at Grand Palladium Costa Mujeres Resort & Spa) and an Ibiza style beach club with an infinity pool and poolside service, creating a glamourous, yet relaxing beachside retreat.
The resort's well-lit modern style and architectural design is heightened by a discreet service tunnel network, out of sight of hotel guests, ensuring impeccable aesthetics and serenity. This innovative construction introduces a new and private hospitality experience, constructed three metres above sea level, to take advantage of the dramatic landscape and system of canals.
Only 18 miles (35 minutes) from Cancun's International Airport and being just 20 minutes from the city, the resort offers an ideal location, where guests can revel in the surrounding beaches and mangroves, abundant with indigenous flora and fauna. This can be combined with the exuberant nightlife and rich cultural and gastronomic offerings of the nearby city. The region's unique surroundings, coupled with the luxurious facilities and Rafa Nadal tennis centre, opens up an exclusive new destination hot spot.


Enduro, duals & maxitrails are something we're constantly hearing about! It's amazing the number of vehicles being sold every single year and seems like, as time goes by, it's increasing even more! There are a number of manufacturers producing such models but the ones that seems like has got the lead are just a few, BMW & Yamaha! There are others makes but BMW, with is ever popular GS, and the Yamaha, with their Super Tenere, are the ones that one hears a lot about! Ducati came out with their MultiStrada, Triumph has their Tiger Explorer, Honda their CrossTourer! They all have taken their share in the market, be it small as it is, but what for example about Aprilia, with their Caponord?
Aprilia have lately came up with a new version on the Caponord, a 1200cc engine and fully prepared and most importantly equipped for some good adventure! Despite all their efforts, they still didn't leave an impact in the market as much as they envisaged!

Cramming Software With Thousands of Fake Bugs Could Make It More Secure
Researchers suggest non-exploitable "chaff bugs" in systems could be a fun way to deter attackers from doing real harm.
Image via Shutterstock / Composition by Samantha Cole
It sounds like a joke, but the idea actually makes sense: More bugs, not less, could theoretically make a system safer. Carefully scatter non-exploitable decoy bugs in software, and attackers will waste time and resources on trying to exploit them. The hope is that attackers will get bored, overwhelmed, or run out of time and patience before finding an actual vulnerability.
Computer science researchers at NYU suggested this strategy in a study published August 2, and call these fake-vulnerabilities "chaff bugs."
Brendan Dolan-Gavitt, assistant professor at NYU Tandon and one of the researcher on this study, told me in an email that they've been working on techniques to automatically put bugs into programs for the past few years as a way to test and evaluate different bug-finding systems. Once they had a way to fill a program with bugs, they started to wonder what else they could do with it.
"I also have a lot of friends who write exploits for a living, so I know how much work there is in between finding a bug and coming up with a reliable exploit—and it occurred to me that this was something we might be able to take advantage of," he said. "People who can write exploits are rare, and their time is expensive, so if you can figure out how to waste it you can potentially have a great deterrent effect."
Exploiting software bugs is a long, time-consuming process, involving an assessment (knows as a triage) of the system's possible bugs, determining whether they're exploitable (meaning, harmful to the system if used against it), building a way to exploit them, and then deploying them back into the system. They illustrate the attacker-bug relationship in this very scientific figure:
"Our prototype, which is already capable of creating several kinds of non-exploitable bug and injecting them in the thousands into large, real-world software, represents a new type of deceptive defense that wastes skilled attackers' most valuable resource: time," the researchers write.
"I've been really surprised (and gratified!) by how much interest there's been in the paper since we posted it," Dolan-Gavitt told me. "I think people like the sort of 'so-dumb-it's-smart' angle – it's really counterintuitive, but could actually work." He said that his favorite reaction so far was this semi-viral tweet about how high the researchers must have been when they came up with this. "Being known as Prof. Huge Bong Rip has always been a life goal, really."
Dolan-Gavitt said that because of its many limitations, it probably isn't a method that will see widespread use anytime soon, and it might never be practical. To name a few of those limitations: It can't be used on open-source software, you have to be positive that the chaff bugs are in fact harmless, it only works if it's okay if the program crashes on malicious outputs, and you have to make sure the faux bugs are indistinguishable from naturally occurring bugs. "But I think it's still an idea that's worth exploring, and it may find practical use in some environments," he said.
Whether this is smarter or more efficient that trying to write airtight code in the first place is yet to be seen—but as automated systems get smarter and faster at coming up with ways to defeat each other, it might be better to join them if we can't beat them.

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker says it would be easier to call the state Senate back to vote on an incentive package for Kimberly-Clark after the November election, but the company says it wants action by the end of the month.
Walker told The Associated Press on Wednesday that he's working "hard" on reaching a deal that can get the necessary votes to pass the Senate. But he says it's going to need bipartisan support.
Republicans have an 18-15 majority, but Republicans don't have enough votes for an incentive package designed to save one of two Kimberly-Clark plants in the Fox Valley.
Republican Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that incentives could save a Fox Crossing plant that employs about 500 people.
The state Senate majority leader says an incentives package would save one of two Kimberly-Clark plants in the Fox Valley that the company has planned to close.
And, Kimberly-Clark wants a legislative vote on those incentives by the end of the month.
Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald say Kimberly-Clark would close its Neenah nonwoven plant that employs about 110 people. But the incentives could save the plant in Fox Crossing that employs about 500.
The Journal Sentinel reports Kimberly-Clark spokeswoman Brook Smith says the company wants a vote on incentives by Sept. 30.
Fitzgerald says he doesn't know if legislative leaders could muster enough votes for an incentives package which would cost tens of millions of dollars.

(CNN) - This past Sunday, six Israelis were arrested for the murder of a 16-year-old Palestinian boy. Israeli officials admitted the likelihood—already acknowledged by many—that this killing was carried out in revenge for the kidnapping and murder of three Israeli teenagers.
Both sides have stepped up their aggression in the past few days, with rocket launches from Gaza into Israel and Israeli airstrikes against Gaza.
It's a familiar cycle: attack for attack, murder for murder. Such patterns are familiar from conflicts across the world, but they have a special resonance in the Holy Land.
After all, it was from Israel, nearly 3,000 years ago, that this famous concept spread.

For Women Restaurant Workers, Sexual Harassment Starts with the Day You're Hired
Ursula Buffay November 9, 2017
According to a 2014 survey, 80 percent of female restaurant employees experience sexual harassment from co-workers. (Gina Ferazzi/Los Angeles Times via Getty Images)
Anyone who has ever scanned Craigslist for a restaurant job knows the boilerplate "will train the right person," code for, among other things, "Be young and have a nice ass." I have two (attractive, blonde) female colleagues who got their first serving jobs at 19 on the supposed basis of their scores on the restaurant giant Darden's infamous personality test. The first guy who ever hired me to wait tables said he liked my writing in my personal statement.
No one is innately or instantly good at waiting tables. Training someone who has never worked in a restaurant involves several long weeks of physically and mentally exhausting serial humiliation during which time she is likely, perversely, to be the restaurant's most expensive front-of house employee, since until she is eligible to earn tips she has to be paid the ghastly sum that is the full minimum wage. The "right person" is likely to be the target, until a new right person supplants her, of so much hostility and derision from the chefs and the cooks and the food runners and the bartenders and the managers who didn't hire her, and the other waiters and waitresses forced to train her, that the sexual harassment that results inevitably from being hired for her looks/intangibles/etc. is likely to seem, at first anyway, like the least of her problems. At first.
The dress code at my first restaurant job consisted, for women, of a black miniskirt, ballet flats and neutral makeup during the week and black minidress, slouchy boots, red lipstick and "statement jewelry" on the weekends. For dudes, it was a black shirt and jeans at all times. None of the dudes had been hired on the basis of their potential to prove themselves "the right person"; they'd all been servers at big strip mall chains and, before that, food runners and bussers and barbacks. They had collective decades of advanced tray carrying experience on us: The youngest female server had just turned 19, the youngest male was 27, and that was a fairly standard state of affairs at restaurants willing to administer Remedial Restaurant 101 to "the right person." It would be hard to design a context more conducive to being sexually harassed by co-workers, and indeed, like 80 percent of women restaurant workers in a 2014 Restaurant Opportunities Center United (ROC United) survey, we all were.
We experienced sexual harassment from customers, too (as did nearly 80 percent in the ROC United survey) — the entire point of making female servers dress a certain way is to entice customers, not managers or coworkers. But as in any field, it's the harassment from bosses and superiors — the guys who decide whether you'll be waiting on three tables or ten tonight, who can choose to help you or chastise you if the hosts stick you with five two tops all at once and you get behind, the guys you see every fucking day — that really gets to you. Even the handsiest dirty old man customer has to compete with a dozen other dinner guests for your attention, and if he's really that creepy the hosts won't let him sit in your section — or depending on his spending habits/status/infractions, any woman's section — again. (Also, there's always the chance creepy old man leaves a 40 percent tip, in which case, and depending on the infraction, he is roughly 90 percent forgiven.)
I was fired from my first job after two weeks, when the guy who hired me went on vacation. The firing was done by a nervous-looking fellow who'd spoken all of three words to me and gave no reason at all. For months afterward, I was still fielding flirtatious texts from the fortysomething ex-Marine I'd been assigned to shadow during my brief employment. (He thought he could get me hired back.) My friend Liz, who worked for an enormous restaurant chain, survived hazing to win the "most improved server" award after a year during which she learned "to finally not suck," but one of her managers regularly slapped her ass on the floor (even after she started whipping out her lighter and threatening to burn him whenever he approached) and another would regularly creep up and massage her shoulder blades — oh to have a nickel for every unwanted shoulder massage! — while she was ringing in orders.
And that's par for the course at a massive publicly traded company with a huge human resources department. My current restaurant group has no HR department, despite employing close to a thousand people (among them a half dozen "guest relations" staffers whose full time job it is to pore over the responses to our incessant feedback emails for negative reviews.) The response to sexual harassment claims varies depending on who is doing the harassing and who is responding to the complaint: The chefs recently fired a cook for repeatedly cornering a cocktail waitress in the underground parking lot to ask for dates, but a food runner who complained last year of being constantly harassed for sex by an executive manager was simply transferred to another restaurant. Nor was there an HR department at Besh Hospitality Group, the 1,200-employee restaurant group helmed by Louisiana celebrity chef John Besh, until the publication last month of an expose in which 25 separate women accused the chef of fostering a Playboy Mansion-esque corporate culture and forcing himself (and inflicting what can only be described as two years of veritable sex slavery) upon a young female subordinate. I don't want to make too much of this: "Human resources" as a field originated primarily as a union avoidance scheme; its practitioners are inherently adversarial to the interests of employees. But if nothing else, the presence of someone, anyone, devoted to the function can — maybe? — serve as a deterrent to the worst behavior, or a psychological comfort to someone who knows she is being mistreated. A union could help, but you could probably fit the number of unionized non-hotel American restaurant workers inside my restaurant.
Without any third party nominally devoted to employment law compliance, bosses operate with total impunity, as a friend of mine learned when her manager attacked her in the office when she was working as a nightclub bartender in her early twenties. "He was always known as 'the groper' and it was just kind of this hilarious joke," she recalls. "He had an Asian fetish and that was a joke, too. I worked with him for two or three years and nothing happened. Then one night I needed cash in the middle of my shift, and I went into the office and he's putting his hand up my skirt. I ran out, and after that he suddenly started acting really serious with me. One night in the middle of service, he called me into the office and showed me a video of me serving a guest, then immediately serving another and explained that I had just given a drink away without ringing it in — which was probably because she or someone in her group had a tab — but anyway, therefore I was being fired for stealing. I didn't even argue. I just felt like I had no voice and would be forever known as 'that girl.'"
It's hard to say what exactly she means by "that girl." Every restaurant is haunted by a few apocryphal tales of "that girl" who slipped on a piece of pasta while cutting in line for staff meal and successfully sued for nine months of worker's comp, or forgot her hairnet the day the health inspector came and shut down the restaurant during service, or had some conflict with the only prep cook who could properly execute the foie gras parfait — and now we can't eat in the back hallway/chop vegetables during staff meal/have nice things/etc. "That girl" isn't always a girl — and the stories often have some basis in reality — but it is generally some employee whose defining quality is incompetence/disposability. Women who work in restaurants are exponentially more likely to feel acutely disposable in any given context, I think because we so often start in semi-ornamental roles, whether as barely-competent server trainees hired for our intangible qualities, or as hostesses hired to stand at the front of the restaurant and apologize profusely for the circumstances that led to all the riverside tables being occupied right now.
A parallel, albeit more nuanced imbalance exists on the other side of the kitchen doors, where you will never, ever, ever find a woman washing dishes (typically, you will find a Latino man in trash bags doing the job) and you will virtually never find a woman grilling steaks, but you'll find lots of women polishing glasses and arranging edible flowers on salads and piping meticulous domes and Hershey kisses and happy birthday messages out of oversized pastry bags. Women culinary workers who venture outside their assigned ghettos are often made to feel sorry they tried, via sexual assault and humiliation: A chef I know was fired from her first job in fine dining after the sous chef she'd theretofore considered a mentor shoved his crotch into her hands inside a walk-in refrigerator. She told people the story; soon after, she was fired over a small infraction — being late for a shift. She believes they feared she'd report the assault and wanted her gone.
Which brings me to a rare redeeming trait of the industry's gender dynamics: As rampant as sexually inappropriate behavior is, there is also a severe shortage of private spaces in which that behavior has the opportunity to rise to full-fledged assault. (This is not to say assault doesn't find places to happen: An August lawsuit detailing the "rape culture" pervading the — unionized! — Plaza Hotel described the coatroom as a go-to unsafe space for uninvited groping, and a Texas jury last year awarded $7.65 million to a teenage Chipotle employee whose manager raped her in the bathroom, the back office and by the dumpster outside in the parking lot.) There are no private offices and very few hotel suites, and the amount of time in a day the typical restaurant manager or server or even dishwasher or coat check girl can plausibly spend away from the kitchen or the floor is measured in minutes. Most importantly, the industry itself is fragmented and dispersed, its ultimate product hopelessly chained to an old-fashioned distribution system that relies on vast armies of human laborers, not an exclusive clique of "It Girl" starlets. There are thousands of chefs and restaurants with Michelin stars and James Beard awards and cookbooks and reality television appearances, and none of them can even begin to approach, even on a regional level, the influence or reach Harvey Weinstein exerted in Hollywood. That might be the biggest reason I don't know anyone who has been seriously long-term traumatized by restaurant industry sleazebaggery the way certain journalist and media friends have been left utterly devastated by their relationships with various "preditors" — no one person, in restaurants, can destroy your livelihood or render you long-term unemployable.
And yet over the long term I think all the women I know intend to lose the war of attrition with this industry. ROC United found that a third of women who had quit the restaurant industry after working in tipped positions did so because of unwanted sexual behavior. The diminishing financial returns are no longer worth the accumulated microaggressions — and it gets to the point where every friendly high-five between male colleagues in the line for staff meal feels like a tiny ulcer. I have been waiting tables for longer than I ever intended, and since graduating from the prime sexual harassment demographic, the rare lecherous remark is almost flattering. I look young enough that I should have a good five to seven years left before I find myself mysteriously demoted or taken off the schedule (the fate that tends to befall middle aged servers at Darden-owned Seasons 52, whose age discrimination case goes to trial this month.) But I still don't make nearly as much money as male colleagues who regularly make stupid mistakes and get negative guest feedback and come to work viciously hungover — and neither do any of the female servers (save the one hypercompetitive twentysomething wunderkind who through sheer force of singleminded perfection and dogged sycophancy gets as many VIP tables as the mediocre bro types.) According to ROC United, full-time female servers make 68 cents for every dollar earned by their male counterparts.
But the most damaging legacy of our profession's institutional sexual harassment may be the lasting perception that whatever we have achieved in the industry we owe to the fact that someone, at some point, just wanted to get in our pants.

Q: Disable and enable a button by form validation with jquery I have a div that contain required element

  <input type="text" required/>
  ...

    <input type="button" name="previous"
    class="previous action-button-previous" value="Previous" /> <input
    type="button" name="next" class="next action-button"
    value="Next" />

  ...

I want to make the Nextbutton enabled or disabled by form validation (if all required field is OK)
I've used this method

Is it possible to use it as disabled function ?!?

A: There are many ways.
1) Essentially a simple strategy would be:

*

*make next button disabled to start with

*making use of change function to capture the change events from your form, and run your validator function. If valid => enable your next button

PS: if you don't have jquery loaded, you could always use vanilla JS to capture the event. you really don't need jQuery for this.
2) jQuery Validation Plugin
Its a solution for exactly this purpose, and since you have the jquery tag, might be an option you can consider. You can try this SO post for a simple implementation

A: This is how I done :

  <input type="text" class="one_d_fields" name="fname" required/>
  <input type="text" class="one_d_fields" name="lname" required/>
  ...

    <input type="button" name="previous"
    class="previous action-button-previous " value="Previous" />
   <input type="button" name="next" class="next action-button next_btn" value="Next" />

My script look like below :
$(".one_d_fields").on("keyup change", function () {
        var isValid = true;
        $($(this).closest("#steps-uid-1-p-1").find("input[type=text],select")).each(function () {
            if ($.trim($(this).val()) == '') {
                isValid = false;
            }
        });
        if (isValid == false) {
            $(".next_btn").attr("disabled",true);
             //or
            $(".next_btn").prop("disabled",true);

        } else {
            $(".next_btn").attr("disabled",false);
             //or
            $(".next_btn").prop("disabled",false);
        }
    });

A: add a boolean `isOkay' to test your condition and desactivate button, without jquery:

function validateForm() {
  // New boolean var
  var isOkay = true;

  var searchEles = document.getElementById('test')
            .getElementsByTagName('input');
  var searchEles2 = document.getElementById('test')
            .getElementsByTagName('select');

    for (var i = 0; i < searchEles.length; i++) {
        if (searchEles[i].getAttribute("required") != null) {
            alert("il est required "); //He is required
        } else {
            alert("il est n'est pas required ");//He is not
           // Condition :false
           isOkay = false;
        }
    }
    for (var i = 0; i < searchEles2.length; i++) {

        if (searchEles2[i].getAttribute("required") != null) {
            alert("il est required ");
        } else {
            alert("il est n'est pas required ");
            isOkay = false;
        }
    }

    // Enable/Disable button
    if(isOkay){
      // disable
      document.getElementsByName("next")[0].disabled = true;
    }else{
       // enable
       document.getElementsByName("next")[0].disabled = false;
    }
}

Q: How to reserve 2dimention vector with pair I want to access the two-dimensional vector index directly.
but i dont know how to reserve
vector<pair<<vector<int>, int>>..

what should i do ?
           vector<pair<vector<int>, int>> c_list;

           vector<int> population;

           population.push_back(1);
           population.push_back(2);
           population.push_back(3);

           c_list[0].first = population;

vector out of range

A: As stated in the comments, reserve only changes the capacity of the vector but not the size. It can improve performance for large vectors because many push_backs could lead to internal resize operations in the vector with multiple allocations and deallocations which may take time.
In your example, simply call c_list.resize(1); before c_list[0].first = population; and you should be fine. resize really changes the size immediately.

First, we'll have to group by 'ID'.
We also creates groups for each block of days, by creating a True/False series where value is not 0, then performing a cumulative sum. That is the part (df['value'] != 0).cumsum(), which results in
0      1
1      2
2      2
3      2
4      3
5      3
6      4
7      4
8      4
9      4
10     4
11     5
12     6
13     6
14     7
15     8
16     8
17     8
18     8
19     9
20    10

We can use the values in this series to also group on; combining that with the 'ID' group, you have the individual blocks of days. This is the df.groupby(['ID', (df['value'] != 0).cumsum()]) part.
Now, for each block, we get its size, which is obviously the interval in days; which is what you want. We do need to shift one up, since we've counted the total number of days per group, and the difference would be one less; and fill with 0 at the bottom. But this shift has to be by ID group, so we first group by ID again before shifting (as we lost the grouping after doing .size()).
Now, this new series needs to get assigned back to the dataframe, but it's obviously shorter. Since its index it also reset, we can't easily reassign it (not with df['days_last_value'], df.loc[...] or df.iloc).
Instead, we select the index values of the original dataframe where value is not zero, and set the index of the days equal to that.
Now, it's easy step to directly assign the days to relevant column in the dataframe: Pandas will match the indices.

Current: Behind the Scenes: The Making of SANGEAN MMR-99 Tutorial Radio
Radio has been around for over a century. The first radio was developed in 1895 by Guglielmo Marconi. The tool was used for communication, and it was until 1920 that the first radio station was developed. KDKA made its first commercial breakfast on November 2nd, 1920, and it was from there that other radio stations started to arise. The popularity of radio grew exceptionally in the late 1920s and 1930s, and almost every home got a radio. During this golden era of radio, it was also that most cars were fitted with radios.
As of 2021, it was estimated that there were over 44,000 radio stations in the world. Also, radio manufacturers increased exceptionally, giving the radio buyers plenty of options to choose from. SANGEAN is one of the most popular brands in the radio industry, and we have made popular radios such as SANGEAN WR-11, SANGEAN PR-D5, and SANGEAN ATS-909X, among others. Our latest model, SANGEAN MMR-99, is a work of art and perfection. In this article, we dive into the important features of the radio and the behind-the-scenes for the making of its commercial.
MMR-99 Tutorial Video
As soon as we decided we wanted to make the video, we contacted the cameraman we had previously worked with, met with him a couple of times, and started working on a schedule. We discussed many aspects of the product in detail, including its functions and features. We also considered color tone, how we wanted to show our viewers and the way each scene was to be presented. Since the MMR-99 is designed for emergency use and can also be used outside- camping, road trips, and other outdoor activities, we wanted to create as many scenarios as possible on where people can use MMR-99.
Equipment is, of course, an essential part of every project. After consulting the photographer, we started collecting all the equipment we needed. After getting everything we required, we set up a small studio that we could use to shoot the video.
It was a long day in the studio, with 35 scenes arranged to be shot within a day. We started early in the morning, and it was a bit of a challenge for us as we did not know how to use some of the tools and equipment provided. Luckily, our cameraman is very capable, and he helped us get everything done the right way. It was a long day, but the experience was worth every minute.
Another task was to set the exterior scenes. As you can tell from the tutorial video, a lot of scenes are done outdoors. We wanted to bring the idea that MMR-99 can be used in the woods or the seaside because it is portable and capable of withstanding water in case it rains while you are out with it. Still, we had to survey the woods and other areas we were to use to ensure that they were good enough for shooting and safe for the crew.
Music is always a key part of any video. From dozens of music options- Blue, Jazz, R&B, etc., we chose one with strong rhythm to convey the message that MMR-99 is fun, exciting. The MMR-99 is designed for all kinds of activities, it's perfect for any occasion.
If you wonder why we took a lot of effort to make the video showcase the MMR-99 radio, it is because of the many fantastic features that come with it, and we would like to introduce it to you. Here is what makes it special:
MMR-99 Design
MMR-99 is a modern radio that comes with features such as USB type C, removable strap, and Bluetooth, and it is waterproof and dustproof (IP55). However, if you look from afar, you could think it is a classic radio because of its design. We gave this radio this design to make it outstanding, something that even people from the coming generation will say that it was beyond its time. The radio is small enough to make it portable. Its speakers are of the highest quality, ensuring all you get is quality when listening to music and your favorite programs.
MMR-99 Features
Even though the radio has a classic look, it comes with modern features that will make your experience even more fantastic. We included a low beam spotlight on the radio to help you when stuck in the dark. You could be on a hike, and then it gets dark, and you have no other source of light to help you out see the road without making others on the road feel so uncomfortable.
We incorporated the floodlight just in case you've lost something in the dark and you have no other light source to help you look out. The brightness of the floodlight is sharp enough to help you find something in the dark. We included a USB so you can play music from your storage and a high-capacity battery to serve you for a long time when you are outdoors, as well as other great features. Everything we added to this radio is to make your using experience better.
YouTube Channel - SANGEAN 1974
We've put various videos on our YouTube channel, SANGEAN 1974. We put videos of descriptions of radios, holiday greetings, commercials, and more. The tutorial video for MMR-99 is on the channel now. We had a lot of fun making the video, it is a short video of about a minute, but you can grasp all the important details about the MMR-99. Please check out the video on our channel now.
