The purpose of this research project was to explore the relationship between college level students' experience of divorce in their young life and their social and relationship maturity. The study used a survey that employed four variables that were compared to whether or not the participant's parents divorced during their youth. The variables explored were social maturity, relationship maturity, level of academic commitment, and relationship with parents. The participants recruited were all undergraduate students from Loyola University New Orleans. In all four variables, it was found that there was little difference between the responses of the participants from divorced families and the participants from non-divorced families.
INTRODUCTIONThe practice of divorce has long been examined for its many possible repercussions in the lives of the families that it affects. As Lee (2002) states, "Children's well-being in post divorce situations is a highly complex, interactive process that is influenced by a multitude of factors." We found research that suggests that the effects of divorce extend to the college level of development, an age already marked with high levels of change and personal development (AACAP).Previous research shows that the relationship between divorce and development in later life is a complex multidimensional relationship. Many divorced families experience years of intrafamily conflict after divorce, with over a fourth of divorced families have conflicted parental relationships as much as three and one half years after the divorce occurs (Lee, 2002). Lee studied 59 children between the ages of 6 and 12 years, and their mothers. Mothers completed a questionnaire about their income, occupation, ethnicity, length of separation, family composition, and children's ages, genders, and education. The other factors examined were parenting arrangement, interparental aggression, mother-child relationship, children's understanding of emotional experiences, and children's understanding of their emotional regulation strategies.In another study examined, Richardson and McCabe (2001) found that young adults from divorced families display lower levels of life satisfaction and relationship maturity, and higher levels of anxiety than individuals from intact families. They studied 167 undergraduate students from a large metropolitan university, who took a 15-20 minute survey that measured interparental conflict, intimacy with parents, life satisfaction, depression and anxiety and stress, and finally, self-description.Jacquet and Surra (2001), in their study of 232 couples, stated that young adults from divorced families show less trust in romantic partners, form passionate love relationships rather than friendship based love relationships, show lower levels of commitment to a partner, and have greater difficulty developing and maintaining friendships. They interviewed the 232 couples, asking them questions about passionate love, friendship based love, and trust; conflict and negativity and ambivalence; and lastly satisfaction and commitment.Previous studies rarely mention the effects of divorce on the college level individual, therefore it was hoped that this study would shed new light on this period of development, which is notoriously high in life changes. In our study we sought to uncover the relationship between divorce and the development of social and educational characteristics in college level individuals.We hypothesized that if participants come from divorced families, then they would demonstrate weaker and less secure relationships with peers and family than would participants from intact families, due to their experiences relating to the divorce. We also hypothesized that the participants from divorced families would posses a stronger academic drive as compared to participants from intact families. This was based on the theory that individuals from divorced families have lower levels of basic trust due to their parents getting divorced, but will demonstrate greater personal motivation than non-divorced individuals because they desire to succeed for themselves where they feel that their parents have failed them. We explored the relationships between divorce and development based on the variables of relationship maturity, social maturity, academic commitment, and relationship with parent/s. Our study tried to illuminate the developmental effects of divorce on the college level individual, based on these variables.
METHODParticipantsFor our study we will be using 100 male and female undergraduate Loyola students who will be recruited from the psychology department subject pool. The subjects are being offered course credit as an incentive to participate.MaterialsThe subjects took a 75-item survey with a number 2 graphite pencil. Included in the survey are measures of relationship maturity (31 questions), social maturity (level of intro/extroversion, partying habits; 15 questions), academic commitment (study time/amount, academic drive; 20 questions) and lastly, relationship with parents (level of secure attachment, level of respect for parents; 11 questions). There are also questions about the marital status if the participants' parents, and who the participants' primary caregivers were during their youth. The participants will also be asked to read and sign an informed consent form prior to taking the survey. The survey was compiled from different sources, containing measures of social and educational maturity. The 5-point scales were all in the format of "strongly agree" to "strongly disagree" and "always" to "never."Design and ProcedureThis was a correlational study which explored the relationship between the marital status of participants' parents and their social and educational functioning. The primary variable for our study was the marital status of the participants' parents. Other variables include relationship maturity, social maturity, academic commitment, and relationship with parents. There were no controls for extraneous variables in the survey.The subjects were introduced to the researchers, and then asked to read and fill out an informed consent form, and were also given a copy of the form for their records. Following this, the surveys were passed out, while the researchers gave the instructions for taking the survey while the subjects read along on their copy of the survey. The subjects then took 15-30 minutes to take the survey, which they turned in to the researchers when they had completed. Following this, the subjects were debriefed and informed of the nature of the experiment, and any and all deceptions used were revealed. We also mentioned the contact information for the Loyola Counseling Services, in case the participants felt they needed someone to talk to about how they felt after the experiment.
Table 1 shows that there was very little deviation in the average scores in each of the variables.
DISCUSSION	All of our hypotheses in this study were not supported. This was not the expected result, based on the past research that was examined. One problem with this study was its low power, due to the limited number of participants. Another problem was that the non-divorced group was much larger (N = 73) than the divorced group (N = 27). This is likely because all of the participants were students at a private Catholic university, which would account for the high number of non-divorced families. If the study were repeated at a different location with a larger number of participants, the results would likely be much different. The effects of divorce on development need to be researched further, in order to find ways to prevent the possible negative affects of this practice which is so common in our society today. The results that we found indicated that there is little difference between the social maturity and academic practices between individuals from a divorced family, and those who are from an intact family. This is not what is to be expected when compared to the previous research, which often indicates the existence of several negative social side effects of an individual experiencing divorce in their young life. Had this study drawn participants from different universities in different areas, the results would probably be more significant. This study's subject pool was much too uniform in its nature.

A little about me. I was born on a farm in Oklahoma in 1967 and left there in 1986 to join the Army. I ended up based at Fort Benning Georgia where I fell in love with Georgia. After my term in the military I returned to Oklahoma to be there for my Grandfather, diagnosed with 6 months to live, which thankfully turned into 7 years. In 1993 I moved back to Georgia, to Atlanta, where I lived for 18 years. I am very proud of my Southern values. After constantly vacationing to Florida for years I finally convinced my wife Mercy to move to Florida in 2011!
The Army motivated me to be my own boss. From my first venture in 1990 until today I've become a veteran businessman with several successful small businesses behind me. My last venture was a potentially huge network marketing company for hair extensions called Micoré International which lasted 3.5 years and peaked at 6,000 distributors. Prior to that I've owned many small businesses, and each one of them focused on sales and service.
My goal is to make all of my customers extremely happy! I am a salesman first, contractor second…meaning customer service is my first intent.


Wanting to migrate my student lab's to & this summer but need to find a way to "Disable" Fast User Switching - I see the advantage for the home user and maybe even a small office but for students who NEVER log off, I want the machines to run as fast and as clean as possible and NOT have multiple accounts logged in at the same time.
While I am familiar with the reg hack to hide the "switch user" button, this is also not an option since if a student logs in and locks the machine, there is no way for the lab instructors to log off the machine with their administrator credentials???? It simply asks for that users information and the only way around is to shut down or reboot the machine??
From there you can disable the Switch User, from either Group Policy or in the registry..
EDIT: I have just tested this on my Windows 7 computer and it works! I can't Lock the machine or switch users..
Thx for the reply - while this does grey out the option for shutdown options, I can still lock the workstation after CTRL-ALT-DEL.
Also, all of my domain machines (per policy) lock after 30 minutes of inactivity (I work for a private school and many teachers would leave their machines "open" and not be in the classroom which forced that policy creation) so that is another "challenge".
So far, this OS is AWESOME but this is a big PITA for domain settings where there are a ton of potential users per day.
Have you ran across anthing else?
The first registry edit should have not grayed anything out??
The only thing that registry edit did was disable the ability to lock the computer. Even if you have it set to lock for 30 minutes, it won't.. you have completely disabled it..
When you press CTRL-ALT-DEL the option it should also disappear, I have tested it again and I am unable to lock the computer when I do the CTRL-ALT-DEL option, the Windows Key+L option and if I go to the start menu and click Lock nothing happens.
Make sure you have put the registry key in the right place and also make sure there is no space after the DisableLockWorkstation and change the value to 1..
For the teachers computers I would just leave them be, let them Lock for 30 minutes.
Also what Windows 7 Operating System are you working with?

Rolling away the virtual miles
There is no doubt that one-day autonomous vehicles will eliminate road accidents, reduce congestion, and make the planet a greener place to live. But before they are allowed on the thoroughfares for consumer and commercial use, the technology needs to be proven safer than the flawed human experience.
The question, though, is how many miles of driving would it take to make statistically significant safety comparisons between autonomous vehicles and those with human drivers? Considering that current human-piloted vehicles have a history spanning more than a century and have covered billions of miles, autonomous vehicles would have to be testdriven hundreds of billions of miles within the next few years to demonstrate their safety confidently.
For example, assuming a self-driving vehicle fleet had a 20 percent lower fatality rate than that for human drivers: Substantiating this with 95 percent confidence would necessitate driving 5 billion miles. This would be equivalent to driving every mile of road in Texas nearly 16,000 times over. It would take a fleet of 100 vehicles, driving 24/7, around 225 years to deliver these results. So test-driving to prove safety seems to be mission impossible.
Virtual testing of autonomous vehicles will speed up development
Fortunately, alternatives, such as virtual testing, mathematical analysis, and accelerated testing could shoulder some of the burdens of accelerating the introduction of self-driving cars.
As a result, Google's vehicles drive a simulated 3 million miles each day, or the equivalent of circling the equator five times every hour.
The Google self-driving car development team acknowledges that, while actual road testing is crucial, virtual simulation is equally important. Each time Google improves or refines a key feature for integration into its road vehicles, it first tests the modification in a virtual environment using thousands of variations.
To accomplish this, Google has built a "Matrix-style" digital simulation of the entire Californian road system in which it tests its self-driving cars.
This virtual environment allows Google engineers to assess new software for its robot cars in a realistic virtual environment, testing how tweaks to their behavior might play out in reality.
For example, a new emergency braking system was tested over 10,000 miles in the simulator to evaluate how often it was engaged and how it performed in emergency situations. And in another test 50 virtual self-driving cars were dropped into a digital version of Google's hometown of Mountain View to see how they interacted with each other, computer-generated pedestrians and other simulated drivers.
Test drivers and engineers can acquire massive amounts of data from these simulations. "Each time a test driver takes over from the self-driving car, we're able to play back the exact situation and predict via simulation what could have happened if the car had been left to drive itself. If the simulator shows that the driving needs to be improved, our engineers can make refinements to the software, and run those changes in simulation to test the fixes," says Google spokeswoman Katelin Jabbari.
These successes have spurred Ron Medford, Google's safety director for the self-driving car program, to argue that computer simulation should be accepted in place of real world driving. According to the Guardian, in a letter written to California state officials, Medford claims: "Computer simulations are actually more valuable, as they allow manufacturers to test their software under far more conditions and stresses than could possibly be achieved on a test track."
OEMs traverse virtual roads across the globe
Google is not alone on the virtual roadways of California. The Ford Research and Innovation Center in Palo Alto is one of the largest automotive manufacturer research centers in the region, housing a team of more than 100 engineers and scientists. Here Ford carries out virtual test drives to study the interaction between autonomous vehicles and pedestrians, replicating real-world situations to better understand and develop responses to the likely road and traffic conditions.
In Japan, Toyota Motor Company has created its version of virtual testing. Gill Pratt, CEO of the Toyota Research Institute, which was established last year with $1 billion in funding to research automated driving, artificial intelligence, and robotics, recently explained that Toyota's "Guardian-Angel" program raises new challenges for the company; especially regarding understanding and managing driver behavior.
The company plans to test the technology in a giant moving simulator near Mt. Fuji. The simulator places the "driver" in realistic street scenes, moving around inside a hanger roughly the size of two football pitches. This testing will make it possible to see how people react in realistic crash scenarios. "Our plan is to see how humans will respond when the car temporarily takes control because it knows better," Pratt says.
Accurately creating a virtual world
But to accurately simulate the vehicles environment you need accurate data on various environmental influences. Developers need this information to conduct tests that simulate the experience of a real car. In terms of advancing virtual testing and validation the Ricardo Agent Drive simulation software, constructed around agent-based modeling methodology, can be used to create real-world driving scenarios to test complex driving situations for autonomous vehicles.
This form of testing places agents (vehicles, people or infrastructure) with specific driving features (such as selfish, aggressive, defensive) in a defined environment (cities, freeways or test tracks) to understand complex interactions that occur in real-world situations. Employing this approach OEMs and their suppliers are able to cut product development cycles, reduce costs related to test-vehicle damage and lower the risk of harming vehicle occupants under test conditions.
In Germany, researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute have developed a quick and inexpensive system that collects data at regular driving speeds and processes the information in real time as fine-grained and coarse-grained data for 3D driving simulations.
The system consists of a test vehicle, a geo-referenced database, and a motor vehicle simulator. Using two 360-degree laser scanners, the Road & Environmental Data Acquisition Rover (REDAR) captures enormous amounts of environ-mental data at typical driving speeds. "We call it point cloud data. That means for each 3D coordinate we have environmental data," says Dr. Klaus Dressler of the Fraunhofer Institute for Industrial Mathematics ITWM in Kaiserslautern.
The ITWM researchers have managed to arrange the terabyte-sized dataset so that it can be used in real time during 3D interactive driving simulations. "The volume of data is so large that the information cannot easily be loaded into the memory of a computer system. We have therefore developed an out-of-core method to process only the data necessary for the running time in the simulator."
The database simulates the world's road network complete with topography, regulations, weather and external georeferenced data. "With the data collected from the data acquisition vehicle, we merge real data with the coarsegrained information from the VMC. Combining the two worlds is a major step in developing test scenarios for the engineering of road-bound vehicles," says Dressler.
Despite the strong argument put forward by the Google self-driving car team, California's Department of Motor Vehicles has so far refused to modify its rules, confirming that physical testing on private tracks was required before autonomous vehicles could take to public roads.
In response, Google says that its intent was not to skirt safety but to add a safety layer. "It's safer to test in simulation to make sure you haven't broken anything before you go out on a real road. We think that simulation and actual road driving should be used for comprehensive self-driving car testing," says Jabbari.
Meanwhile, Google continues to improve and scale up its simulation efforts. And perhaps the next state to embrace autonomous vehicles will be happier doing its test driving inside the Matrix.

For the first time ever, a Spanish soldier has been jailed for allegedly mistreating military prisoners as part of ongoing investigations into a brutal attack at a Spanish army base in Iraq in 2004.
The legionniare has been locked up in Madrid's Alcalá de Henares military prison while investigations against him continue.
The case broke after Spain's El País newspaper in 2013 released video footage of three soldiers brutally kicking two prisoners lying on the floor of their cell.
In April, a soldier testified on the matter, explaining the two prisoners filmed had entered the base, leading a donkey loaded up with explosives.
"They were curled up against the wall, frightened like puppies," he said of their state after the attack.
Investigators are now trying to identify all of the soldiers involved on that night. They are want to find commanding officers who may have known about the incident but failed to carry out punishment.
If found guilty, those soldiers could face anywhere from 10 to 25 years in prison.
In February, Spain's government defied opposition pressure and voted to shelve high profile international investigations into crimes including alleged Chinese genocide in Tibet and possible torture in the US prison facility of Guantanamo Bay.
In March, a judge refused to close the file on the death of a Spanish cameraman during the US invasion of Iraq in 2003.

Kyra Dawson - 11/13/2010
Good question. It seems like he has just leaped onto the big screen plucked from obscurity, but this isn't the case. He's been around for a long time, and thinking along the same lines as the designer Valentino did, Skyline producers thought Balfour's presence had the charisma necessary to carry this movie to box office success.

HOME TURF
Rejuventating a public housing neighbourhood into a vibrant mixed use precinct
Washington Park is a unique development in Riverwood North. The first public / private sector partnership of its kind – – rejuventating a public housing neighbourhood into a vibrant mixed use precinct – Housing NSW (now LAHC) worked closely with developer Payce to develop an innovative and mutually beneficial commercial structure to deliver 150 new social housing apartments for seniors and approximately 500 apartments for private sale.
The great success of this model has led to it being formalised into what is currently one of the NSW Government's key initiatives to grow the social housing portfolio – Communities Plus. The program will deliver up to 23,000 new and replacement social housing dwellings, 500 affordable housing dwellings and up to 40,000 private dwellings.
TURF has been working with Payce since 2009, first to develop a masterplan vision for the project, and then working through staged concept design, documentation and providing construction stage services to see the project through to realisation.
A key strategy of the Washington Park development has been to provide the public domain upgrades first; creating series of quality new places that the existing community will love and that others will want to be a part of. The result is a place that the local people have embraced, and the vast majority of apartments sold before a single brick has been laid.
Surrounded by over 100 hectares of verdant parkland and straddling the southern bank of Salt Pan Creek Wetlands, Washington Park is intrinsically linked and inspired by its surrounding, natural environment. The architecture (by award-winning Turner Architects) addresses the Salt Pan Creek wetlands, and is seamlessly connected via a series of generous new pedestrian links that draw people through the new park and plaza spaces.
Two green spaces – Central Park and Garden Square – become the focus of public life in Washington Park.
Central Park is the core green space and provides a terraced platform along its highest edge that overlooks an open parkland of existing, mature Eucalypts. The primary path leads down to Salt Pan Creek Wetland, passing a series of intimate shaded areas, rain gardens and a bioretention swale bridge crossing before opening up to link back with the existing wetlands.
When the Library building and surrounding apartment buildings are completed in late 2017 Garden Square will become the vibrant heart of Riverwood community life. Drawing inspiration from the great squares of southern France, the space is framed by plane trees and celebrates a horizon of colour and texture. Central to the square are two large figs that become a shaded oasis for the residents and visitors in the warmer months.
A new library, cafe, retail frontages and community co-op sit are located in the heart of Garden Square; providing an active and welcoming public arena for patrons of all ages. This social, urban meeting space has been designed to accommodate markets, small events and the like, activating the space with people from all walks of life at all hours of the day.
"The first stage of renewal at Riverwood (Washington Park) is nearing completion and has delivered social housing mixed with private and affordable housing in a model that has created a better place for all residents. The renewal of Riverwood North has demonstrated what can be achieved through renewing concentrated social housing estates into a diverse community offering inspiration and opportunity."

Lizardo Becerra
"We got creative" — Lizardo Becerra on opening Raphaël Express amid the pandemic
BY Hattie Klotz
POSTED November 17, 2021 12:52 pm
It took a pandemic to inspire the entrepreneurial creativity of Peruvian chef Lizardo Becerra.
Like so many chefs, Becerra had always dreamed that one day he would have his own place. But it wasn't until the pandemic repeatedly shut down the Andaz Hotel in the ByWard Market, where he was chef de cuisine, that he took the plunge. It's a brave move to open a restaurant these days, but Raphaël Express, named after Becerra's four-year-old son, is a leap of faith and an expression of confidence in the future.

"With the comfort that comes from working in a hotel, you forget your creativity somewhat," he says. But when in-house restaurant Feast + Revel closed and they decided not to offer takeaway, the 33-year-old decided to strike out on his own.
Originally from Peru, Becerra moved to Ottawa 10 years ago through a chef position at the Peruvian ambassador's residence. He is passionate about the food of his native land and wanted his new place to focus on Peruvian dishes, which he learned growing up in Peru and further honed in culinary school. First, he looked at a small dine-in space in Gatineau, but the build was delayed.
"Then COVID-19 restrictions got worse through the fall. I began to investigate the growing trend of ghost kitchens."
He stumbled upon a space inside the complex at 250 City Centre, owned by catering company Lunch. Within two weeks, Becerra opened the doors for takeout; he had designed a menu, employed three Peruvian cooks, and enlisted the help of his family and friends. The whole team is committed to bringing Peruvian fine dining to Ottawa as they continue to search for a more refined space.
Raphaël Express offers Peruvian delicacies such as ceviche of rockfish, tuna, or salmon. "We are using extremely high-quality, expensive ingredients, especially for our ceviche. It's about giving the fish the space it deserves, which means we barely marinate it and are not disguising anything," says Becerra.
Other classics include Peruvian-style rice with Pacific blue shrimp and B.C. octopus cooked in a lobster-based reduction, as well as anticuchos — marinated flank steak skewers cooked on the grill and served with chimichurri, rustic potatoes, Peruvian corn, and charred Brussels sprouts.
"Every time the government allowed for something new, we got creative," he says. On July 28, Peruvian Independence Day, Becerra fulfilled his dream to open an airy indoor-outdoor eat-in space at the front of the building, which can seat a dozen or so people.
"It's still a modest, humble space, but with the lights on around the patio at night, it's romantic. It's a fine dining experience in a warehouse. It's a warique — in Peru, this means a hidden place where you eat."

Home / Batangas / Humor / There Is Always Humor!
There was space for just four more passengers in the jeepney I rode on my way home this evening, but there were five factory workers – all female – at the kanto where the driver stopped to pick up passengers.
Three got in at the back, and since every seat was obviously taken, the one who could not get a seat shrieked at the driver to wait so she could join her friend who took one of the front passenger seats.
The driver looked none too amused by the woman's antics, but the latter was unapologetic. Never mind the driver's stern face, she shrieked when the driver stepped on the gas to get the jeepney going.
One of the cheeks of her buttocks was hanging out the jeepney, she complained, so she loudly admonished the driver to drive slowly. Of course, the driver paid her no attention, so she screamed whenever another vehicle overtook using the service road to the right.
I hated getting off that jeepney when I got home. It was such a happy ride. Even the tired faces before the group of five got on lit up when the woman started shrieking shamelessly.
To think that all five were on their way home after what, I can imagine, was a hard day's work with minimum wage at the factory that they came from. They say we Filipinos are among the happiest peoples in the world. Yes, in spite of the poverty.
Oh by the way… Did you know that there are washing machines made for women and others made for men?
I was in conversation with Kobe and Pao mid-afternoon in front of the Diokno, when Pao mentioned offhandedly that it is Weng, his wife, who does their laundry.
Humor! There is always humor somewhere…!

Why I Write, Teach, and Make Websites
Who Writes a Guide to English Composition?
I've long dreamed of writing my own "guide to writing." I have dreams of preparing a lovely textbook that my students will savor. But who am I kidding? I only like textbooks because I'm an unusual person. The kind of person who chooses to endure a Ph.D. program in English.
All Writers Are Unique
As a writer and a teacher, I focus on what I see as the most important aspect of learning: we are all human, and we all lead different lives. However many students I've taught and however many pages I've read or graded, I regularly meet students who change my expectations. Part of this is generational — in the past ten years, the internet has changed writing to such a degree that I see the differences in student writing. But then, is it the internet? Is it changes in how we teaching writing to K-12 students? Or is it maybe economic? The job market has changed significantly since 2008, back when I started teaching as a master's student. Also, my education and career have carried me to a private university, a state university, and to a community college — it's hard to say "the world has changed" when my own world has changed so much.
Helping Students Navigate the Classroom and Life
For English teachers like myself, writing is an essential skill — when our students write badly, we feel that we've failed them. For students, classroom writing is often seen as a chore with irritating requirements and little clear purpose. Yes, students want to be good writers — but they primarily care about writing that matters in the real world. They want to compose their words to address the rhetorical situations of academic and daily needs. In my eyes, facing this issue involves four key steps:
Figure out which kinds of writing are important in the real world beyond the classroom.
Assign those kinds of writing.
Convince students that these are the kinds of writing that matter.
Hope that you're correct about Step 1. If you aren't, your students will figure it out.
So when I teach, I do my best to find a balance between teaching the skills that definitely matter, and then listening to students to learn how those skills continue to change in the real world. To take one example, the explosion of online social media is dramatically changing how and when our students use words. Obviously, students use language in very "non-academic" ways when they're on Facebook and Twitter - less obvious, however, is the degree to which this informal language is changing our expectations of "good" writing.
"The Answers" Remain Elusive
Clearly, I don't have "the answers" for how students should write in every social situation. I have, however, written many, many research papers. I've even enjoyed several of them. But the successful ones required effort and planning — the ones that went poorly usually "flopped" because I tried skipping too many steps. I can tell you why citation matters, and how we use rhetoric to persuade others, and how to observe the differences in language across genres — these are useful skills that can be applied far beyond the classroom. The don't offer simple rules that always work, and they won't help you sleep better at night, but these concepts of language can help make us better writers and more thoughtful human beings.
At least, I hope this is true. My job security kinda depends on people believing that words matter.

Rainwater Prize Program for Neurodegenerative Research
Established in 1991 and based in the United States, the Rainwater Charitable Foundation (RCF) is a private family foundation funded by the legacy left by the philanthropist Richard E Rainwater. RCF funds in the areas of higher education and at-risk children, as well as research associated with degenerative neurological diseases through the Tau Consortium.
The first Rainwater Prize Program competition took place in 2019 and is funded by RCF and the Tau Consortium. It seeks to encourage and accelerate scientific progress towards new treatments for neurodegenerative diseases by:
Enhancing awareness of the critical gaps in neurodegenerative research.
Attracting researchers to work on tauopathies.
Awarding scientific achievements that lead to new treatments for progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP).
There are four main prize categories that are only awarded upon achievement of the defined parameters. The four prizes are:
Rainwater Prize for Outstanding Innovation in Neurodegenerative Research: Recognises investigator(s) whose work is considered a significant contribution to the understanding of tau-related diseases.
Rainwater Prize for Innovative Early Career Scientists: Intended to reward outstanding achievements of a scientist in the early stages of their academic career (within 10 years of Principal Investigator appointment) either as a first author or senior author on published neurodegenerative disease research findings.
Rainwater Milestone Prize for Advances in Tauopathy Research: Recognises investigator(s) whose work is considered a significant contribution to the understanding of tau-related diseases by addressing critical gaps in technology and disease knowledge that will help the scientific community develop effective treatments.
Rainwater Breakthrough Prize for Effective Treatments in PSP: Recognises investigator(s) whose work is considered a significant contribution to the development of effective treatments for PSP and has led to a treatment that has significantly improved the welfare of patients.
Anyone can nominate an individual researcher or team of researchers in any country and in any research institution. Self-nominations are permitted. Nominees must have made significant contributions to research in tau-related diseases within the scope of the prize for which the nominee is being considered.
The prize amounts are:
Prize for Outstanding Innovation in Neurodegenerative Research: $250,000
Rainwater Prize for Innovative Early Career Scientists: $150,000
Rainwater Milestone Prize for Advances in Tauopathy Research: up to $2 million
Rainwater Breakthrough Prize for Effective Treatments in PSP: up to $10 million
It is anticipated that the prize money will be used to further the recipient's research in neurodegenerative disease, however, funds may be spent for other non-profit purposes. The milestone and breakthrough prizes may or may not be awarded based on the particular year's nominations and discoveries.
Nominations must be submitted by the deadline of 1 June 2021.

A weekend of ghouls, ghosts, witches and visits to past loved ones
THE fun and frolics of dressing up, trick-or-treating and partying on Sunday was followed by the solemnity of remembering dearly departed loved ones on Monday.
In certain quarters the Spanish can be heard bemoaning the new 'tradition' of Halloween, complaining that it's an Anglo-Saxon festival that has no place in Spain and asking why it has become so popular here. Despite this, every year more and more Spaniards get hooked on the festival, stocking up on sweets to give the trick-or-treaters who visit them, while others go all out to impress, converting their front gardens into other worlds, maybe a haunted graveyard complete with atmospheric music and dry ice, or perhaps a psycho circus with eerie clowns.
Being generally a sociable nation, the whole Halloween idea suits the Spanish well and they have embraced it with arms wide open. Even Valencia's Bioparc got into the spirit of Halloween, organising terrorific events over the weekend. And to those who say it has no place here, let's take a look at the origins of Halloween; the name itself is derived from All Hallows Eve, literally the night before All Saints' Day, the Spanish Día de Todos los Santos, which is, of course, a very important date here. So, in an indirect way, Halloween and the Spanish Día de Todos los Santos. are intrinsically linked, rather like different sides of the same coin.
Residents in l'Eliana who transformed their garden into a spooky circus
Honouring the dead
Following a much quieter Día de Todos los Santos last year, due to the Covid-19 restrictions, the region's cemeteries were once again heaving with families coming to pay their respects to long-lost loved ones.
Families visit graves at Valencia's municipal cemetery
In Torrent, however, a dispute between two rival 'clan' families left two dead and another injured. The cemetery had to be closed so investigators could carry out their work and to avoid any further disturbances or reprisals.
British Cemetery open
Meanwhile, the British Cemetery Valencia was open for the day, to allow visitors to experience the location and for families to pay their respects. An oasis of tranquility in the middle of the city, there was a steady flow of visitors during the day, according to trustee, Pam Smith.
Peace and tranquility at Valencia's British Cemetery
Visitors to the cemetery on Monday gave donations but the cemetery needs to raise funds for general maintenance work as well as improving one of its perimeter walls. Back in the summer vandals broke in and destroyed three of the tombs. Members of the cemetery association believe the vandals were searching for jewels or other expensive items buried in the graves, but whatever the reason, an even higher perimeter wall, maybe even topped with barbed wire will now have to be built.
Vandalized graves at Valencia's British cemetery
What is the British Cemetery Valencia?
During the industrialisation of the city in the 18th and 19th centuries British engineers, technicians and sailors came to work in Valencia both at the port and on the railway, but when they or their families died here, as protestants they could not be buried in a Catholic cemetery so this caused problems. Previously bodies had been wrapped in shrouds and buried at sea.
In 1831 a Royal Decree authorized the establishment of places for the interment of non-Catholics who passed away in Spain. In the years that followed land was bought close to Valencia's Municipal Cemetery which, to this day, belongs to the British government.
When the British Protestant Cemetery was built it provided, for the first time, a place to bury non-Catholics. Now known as the British International Cemetery, it is a multi-denominational final resting place for some 350 souls of more than 21 different nationalities.
The cemetery grew most rapidly in the years from the 1870s onwards and many prominent engineers and businessmen who contributed to the industrialisation of the city are buried there, as well as Alfred Faulconbridge, the founder of the Valencian Tennis Club and Albert Holliday, chairman of Blackpool AFC who died while on holiday in Valencia in 1962.
While those buried in the 19th century and the start of the 20th century were well documented, during the Civil War things were more chaotic with the cemetery being cared for by the Red Cross and the Swiss Consul, and some souls were buried anonymously, including, it is believed, soldiers from the Internationl Brigades, bombing victims and people who succumbed to the Spanish flu epidemic of 1918.
After the Civil War, World War II and the dictatorship meant fewer British people came to work in Valencia, and consequently there were fewer burials. In the second half of the 20th century the cemetery became the victim of vandalism and some of its stained glass windows were broken. Thanks to the hard work of the group of trustees, a grant was awarded to restore the windows and the work was carried out by the local NGO Fet i Vidre between 2017 and 2018. The front courtyard was also renovated to create The Bonnie Garden a quiet space where memeorial plaques can be placed. The garden was named in memory of Bonnie Hintzpeter, an altruistic member of the International Women's Club.
As with all historic buildings the next maintenance project is never far away and now the roof of the little chapel is in need of repair. The trustees are busy campaigning to raise the money needed with various events and activities.
The cemetery is looking for volunteers, especially people who can also speak Spanish and have a keen interest in history. Anyone interested in volunteering, organising a visit or wanting to hold an event at the cemetery can get in touch via the Friends of Valencia British Cemetery page on Facebook or through their website http://www.britishcemeteryvalencia.org

Q: Android Studio Google Vision Barcode scanning in fragment Buttomviewer I'm trapped in a problem. I tried to use Google Vision for barcode scanning. Now I wanted to integrate the whole thing into a ButtomView as an own fragment but everything remains dark. I don't get ERROR either.
I just want when I press on Home in this example the reader (camera) starts and I can scan barcode.
If I open another tab, the scanning is stopped. I have add to activity_main.xml a framelayout and a buttomnavigationView
activity_main.xml
    <FrameLayout
        android:id="@+id/fragment_container"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_above="@id/navigation"/>

    <android.support.design.widget.BottomNavigationView
        android:id="@+id/navigation"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_marginStart="0dp"
        android:layout_marginEnd="0dp"
        android:background="?android:attr/windowBackground"
        app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
        app:menu="@menu/navigation" />

</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>```

Creat a fragment Layout with all necessary outlets.
fragment_scan.xml

    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:orientation="vertical">

        <SurfaceView
            android:layout_width="640px"
            android:layout_height="480px"
            android:layout_centerVertical="true"
            android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
            android:id="@+id/camera_view"/>

        <TextView
            android:text=" code reader"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:id="@+id/txtContent"/>
        <Button
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="Process"
            android:id="@+id/button"
            android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
            android:layout_alignParentStart="true" />
        <ImageView
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:id="@+id/imgview"/>
    </LinearLayout>
</RelativeLayout>```

In the mainActivity.java I managed the different fragments to show and works fine. The surface view, imageViewand the txtConten.
Now the problem. The linking works good but everything which is linked to the layout is here but black.

                if (barcodes.size() != 0) {
                    barcodeInfo.post(new Runnable() {    // Use the post method of the TextView
                        public void run() {

                                    barcodes.valueAt(0).displayValue
                            );
                        }
                    });
                }
            }
        });

        return inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_scan,container, false);
    }
}```

I think the problem is the linking between the fragment and the variables.
In the tutorial everything is in the MainActivity and here in the fragment.
In the mainActivity it was linked like this:
BarcodeDetector barcodeDetector =
                new BarcodeDetector.Builder(this)
                        .setBarcodeFormats(Barcode.CODE_128)//QR_CODE)
                        .build();
        cameraSource = new CameraSource
                .Builder(this, barcodeDetector)
                .setRequestedPreviewSize(640, 480)
                .build();

Any help would be great.

A: replace this:
return inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_scan, container, false);

with:
return SCANVIEW;

Shipowners Call For Kolkata Dispute To Be Resolved Soon
A leading shipowners' representative in India has called for Haldia Bulk Terminal and the Kolkata Port Trust to move quickly to resolve a dispute that has disrupted dozens of calls and which threatens to close two vital dry bulk berths in the Indian city for many months.
French shipping and logistics outfit Louis Dreyfus Armateurs and its Indian partner ABG pulled out of the joint venture-operated facility last month, claiming to have been subjected to a scale of criminal acts and political interference that made continued commercial activity impossible.
These included executives and their families being kidnapped and work being hampered to benefit a rival company owned by a ruling party MP, the ABG-LDA vehicle has said.
The withdrawal has led to some 600 workers being axed, and left an estimated 270,000 tonnes of cargo stranded on the quayside.
KPT has countered by threatening to launch a massive lawsuit for unlawful termination of contract, two years into a 10-year agreement.
Although the contract is to be retendered, the schedule makes it unlikely the terminal will get back up and running before March next year.
That is too long for Indian shipping to wait, according to Anil Devli, chief executive of the Indian National Shipowners' Association, who has urged the two sides to seek a compromise, saying this is in the interests of all concerned.
Although he made it clear that he did not wish to take sides in the dispute, Mr Devli praised ABG-LDA for the improvements it has made since taking over Haldia.
"One of the reasons this port has suffered has been due to lack of modernisation," he told Lloyd's List.
"When this company came in and decided to invest in improving the infrastructure, it has brought better productivity at the quayside and a faster turnaround of ships."
The port and the state and national governments should therefore do whatever is needed to maintain this standard of service, he said.
"As a shipowner and somebody thinking as an Indian citizen, it is important to ensure that the cost of logistics is under control. This is causing a fair bit of inconvenience to everybody.
"I don't think it needs to wait until March [to restore services] if the government is proactive and if confidence is built in the minds of ABG-LDA that it will not face any difficulties in operations, I'm sure it can be convinced to come back."
Although KPT is adopting a tough stance in its comments to the Indian press, Mr Devli says the firm line may be intended for public consumption, and that there should be room for a deal.
"I believe the best position to take is always to extend a hand of friendship," he said.
"If both parties take a mature view, I think we will see a resolution and the ships and cargo interests can be saved a lot of trouble."

Jenny Wolfram is the CEO and Founder of Brandbastion, a company that protects companies' social media reputation 24/7 around the globe. Brandbastion is serving two purposes: protecting companies from social media crises and reputational harm as well as giving them better ad performance and better social media ROI. Today, Brandbastion has expanded its solutions beyond Facebook to other social media platforms, such as Instagram and Youtube.
In the beginning of this year, the company chose to rebrand itself in order reflect its broader solution offering. Formerly known as Faceforce and specializing in Facebook moderation, Brandbastion now offers solutions for Instagram and Youtube as well.
"We've had a very busy but exciting year so far," says Jenny Wolfram.
This year, the San Francisco-based company will focus its efforts on continuous innovation, developing its products and services further and keeping its clients happy. According to Wolfram, recruitment is also a core focus in 2016.
Social media is the biggest equalizer of our time.
Big companies are not the ones that automatically get the highest engagements and most visibility on social media. When you use right targeting and great content, it enables you to get great growth whether you're a big corporation or a startup.
You should think about your competitive advantages since day one and think of how to build barriers of entry. Keep on improving your product every single day, hire the best people to your team and get the best investors on board from the start.
50 percent of people look up a company's Facebook page rather than their website to find out more information about the company. People read and care about comments, which is why it's important for a company to pay attention to what people are saying on their social media sites. Their perception is formed based on what they are seeing and what people are saying on the company's site. Investing in social media moderation is therefore very essential.

Home American History The Transportation Revolution in Early America
The Transportation Revolution in Early America
Enterprise on her fast trip to Louisville, 1815
Americans in the early 1800s traveled more frequently, more widely, and in more different ways than they had only a few decades earlier.
One of the most remarkable things about Americans, according to travelers from Europe in the first part of the 19th century, was how much they moved about. Not only did they routinely travel long distances to attend services in their churches and to shop in their markets, but they also changed residences almost as routinely. And not only did they invent new methods of transportation during the first half of the century, but they also made significant improvements in many of the old methods. Between 1800 and 1850 the physical territory of the United States had quadrupled in size; but measured in terms of travel time, the country had become much smaller.
The Mobility of Americans
A Boston newspaper noted in 1828 that while in America the whole population seemed to be in motion, in Europe millions of people had never been beyond the sound of their own parish bell. Even in rural towns, thirty-five to forty percent of families counted in each regular census had changed their residence by the time of the next census ten years later; in many cities, the rate exceeded fifty percent. Part of this mobility was a result of a revolution in transportation: the first half of the 19th century saw the inventions of the steamboat and the railroad, and the development of canals. But there was also an evolution in traditional methods of travel: roads were widened and extended, and carriages and wagons were designed to carry more people more comfortably over greater distances. In the 1780s a traveler typically took four to six days to go from Boston to New York; in the 1830s a stagecoach could make the trip in a day and a half; and by the 1840s a train cut the travel time to half a day.
Railroad, Steamboat, River, and Canal
The three decades between 1810 and 1840 saw three dramatic innovations in travel. In the 1810s steam-powered riverboats made it possible to transport goods and people not only down the Ohio and Mississippi rivers to New Orleans and the Gulf of Mexico, but back upstream to Pittsburgh. The 1820s saw the completion of the Erie Canal, linking the Hudson River to Lake Erie, and promoting the growth of both New York City and Chicago. And by the end of the 1830s, thousands of miles of railroad tracks linked the nation's major cities and many smaller towns in a transportation network that would continue to expand over the next hundred years and more. An American born around 1800 would, by age 40, have lived through a true revolution in transportation.
A Limited Revolution
Momentous and exciting as these changes were, they were not without their dangers and their difficulties, as well as their limitations. Steamboat engines frequently exploded, often because their builders used less expensive, and therefore weaker, materials; nearly a third of all Mississippi steamboats in service before 1850 were lost in accidents. Canal boats passengers were often crammed into filthy berths, like herrings in a barrel, according to one traveler. Trains were subject to derailments and collisions, and were notoriously crowded, noisy, and dirty. Stagecoaches, too, were usually crowded, and exceedingly uncomfortable on roads that were typically not well maintained. The importance of personal mobility to Americans in the early 1800s is perhaps best demonstrated by their determination to travel, despite the fact that travel was usually expensive, often dangerous, and almost never comfortable.
In contrast to the transportation revolution in early America, our own time has seen only two major changes, the automobile and the airplane; and both technologies entered daily life much more gradually than those of two centuries ago. Although both road and air travel are arguably becoming more dangerous and less comfortable (and certainly more expensive) as the 21st century progresses, it seems unlikely that Americans' devotion to personal mobility will diminish significantly in the foreseeable future.

Q: Why are my cross site cookies not working? I have been working on a uni project and I'm getting really stuck on why the cross site authentication cookie from our backend isn't set when I do a CORS request to it from our backend.
Our setup is as follows:
A frontend on https://frontend-domain.com sends a CORS request to https://backend-domain.com with credentials in the post body, expecting a Set-Cookie: auth-token header in the response, if credentials are correct.
The fetch to the backend has credentials: 'include' set.
The backend response includes Access-Control-Allow-Credentials: true and explicitly states Access-Control-Allow-Origin: https://frontend-domain.com. The Allowed Methods header is also correct.
The token cookie in the Set-Cookie header has the attributes SameSite=Noneand Secure, it's domain attribute is Domain=backend-domain.com.
As far as I could find on the mozilla docs or here on stack overflow, these are all the requirements for cross site cookies to work. I expected the Set-Cookie header would make the browser set the cookie, which would then be sent along with all further requests to https://backend-domain.com, given credentials: 'include' is set.
However, the cookie is never set.
Can anyone help me? I am absolutely clueless by now.
Thank you very much for reading and helping!
Edit
I am using Firefox right now.
Here is a screenshot of the request:

And here is the response:

All of the Set-Cookie headers you can see in the response dont result in an actual cookie.

A: The SameSite attribute of a cookie controls whether this cookie is included in

*

*subrequests (such as the ones made by an <img> or <iframe> element or a Javascript fetch command) to a different origin

*top-level navigation requests (which load a new page into the current or a new browser tab).

Details are given here. Note especially the subtly different treatment of navigation with GET and POST ("Lax-Allowing-Unsafe").
Cookies in subrequests (but not top-level navigation requests) may be additionally restricted based on browser settings if they are third-party cookies, that is, if the top-level domains of their origin and the sending web page differ. In other words: Cookies from backend-domain.com count as third-party cookies when a request is made by an HTML page from frontend-domain.com, and this is what caused the issue in your case.

42 Draconis (abbreviated 42 Dra), formally named Fafnir ( or ), is a 5th magnitude K-type giant star located approximately 315 light years away in the constellation of Draco.  As of 2009, an extrasolar planet (designated 42 Draconis b, later named Orbitar) is thought to be orbiting the star.

Of spectral type K1.5III, the star has a mass similar to the Sun but with a radius 22 times greater. It is a metal-poor star with metallicity as low as 0.0023% that of the Sun and its age is 13.2 billion years. It is the northern pole star of Venus. It is the oldest star that is visible with the naked eye.

Nomenclature

42 Draconis is the star's Flamsteed designation. Following its discovery the planet was designated 42 Draconis b. In July 2014 the International Astronomical Union launched NameExoWorlds, a process for giving proper names to certain exoplanets and their host stars. The process involved public nomination and voting for the new names. In December 2015, the IAU announced the winning names were Fafnir for this star and Orbitar for its planet.

The winning names were submitted by the Brevard Astronomical Society of Brevard County, Florida, United States. Fafnir was a Norse mythological dwarf who turned into a dragon, it is also the name of a fictional planet in Larry Niven's known space universe of similar description, ('Draco' is Latin for 'dragon'); Orbitar is a contrived word paying homage to the space launch and orbital operations of NASA.

In 2016, the IAU organized a Working Group on Star Names (WGSN) to catalog and standardize proper names for stars. In its first bulletin of July 2016, the WGSN explicitly recognized the names of exoplanets and their host stars approved by the Executive Committee Working Group Public Naming of Planets and Planetary Satellites, including the names of stars adopted during the 2015 NameExoWorlds campaign. This star is now so entered in the IAU Catalog of Star Names.

Planetary system

42 Draconis b was discovered in 2009. It is an example of a super-Jupiter.

Happy Easter and just say no to peeps!
Today was Easter Sunday and as it was a wet and dank day outdoors, I spent my time inside doing exciting things like cleaning, laundry and the dishes. Woo and hoo, as they say.
I did another full workout and I believe I have figured out how to exercise without injuring myself, proof that I can still learn even when I should be having a mid-life crisis or something instead.
Regarding peeps, this Easter-related "confection" is one of those candies that just seems wrong no matter how you look at it. I'm sure it actively destroys cells in your body upon consumption. On the plus side, peeps can probably double as insulating foam on the shuttle if NASA runs out.
These things have a half-life that would make Strontium-90 jealous. Say no to peeps!

why we devote so many pages to it in our magazine.
It is also why I am thrilled to introduce our newest JW partner — Nora Tobin — a health and fitness consultant, performance-enhancement specialist, nutrition expert and a certified personal trainer. Like yours truly, Nora grew up in California, where fitness and health are sacred to so many, a natural part of one's everyday life. In the coming months Nora will share her passion for all things wellness with our guests — from new in-room fitness videos to personalized well-being retreats at some of our stunning JW resorts.
If combining a JW hotel stay with a wide range of nearby well-being activities sounds appealing, you will want to check out the article in this issue of JWM about the newly opened JW MARRIOTT PARQ VANCOUVER, a hotel constructed to naturally blend into its setting against the city's surrounding lakes, streams and mountains. In a visit to the British Columbia city last year, I managed to fit in a sunrise run around Vancouver's majestic Stanley Park and observe the city from the expansive alpine playground of Grouse Mountain, where two resident grizzly bears — Grinder and Coola — hold court. And if the description of the hotel's impassioned culinary scene leaves you with a craving for more food-centric reading, turn to our story about ambitious young chefs (including our own talent in Hanoi, Austin and Santo Domingo) who are leaving the comforts of home in search of more far-flung locales — and cooking up delicious new flavors in the process.
But what makes this issue such great cover-to-cover reading is how it so perfectly aligns with our shared passions — with stories about the cultural phenomenon of the resurgence of vinyl records, a well-being deep dive into the benefits of reducing inflammation and, as always, our insider guides to some of your favorite destinations, including Kuala Lumpur and Rio de Janeiro. And before you turn the page, please let me wish you a healthy, happy and peaceful 2018.

Work will start on the installation of the new heating systems by the end of February.
The Northern Ireland Housing Executive will commence installing new state-of-the-art heating systems in 178 homes in Derry before the end of February.
The scheme had been due to start in September last year but due to financial issues its feasibility was left uncertain.
"We are investing almost £900,000 to put new heating systems into 178 homes. We expect the scheme to get underway before the end of this month," confirmed a NIHE spokesperson.
Angela Walsh lives in one of the houses that will receive a new heating system. Ms. Walsh said she was over the moon when she heard the news.
Welcoming the news, Sinn Fein councillor, Kevin Campbell, said he was "delighted" for the residents.
"I am delighted that the scheme will no proceed at the end of the month," he said.
"When NIHE announced last September that the scheme was to be put back, there was a lot of anger among residents.
