The Legacy of a Vision
In 1978, Dick Waller produced and performed a chamber music concert and used the gift of music as a "thank you" to fellow members of the First Unitarian Church on Linton Street. This concert, held in the intimacy and warmth of the stained-glassed sanctuary, was the beginning of Linton Chamber Music. For 30 years, founder Dick Waller cajoled and charmed Cincinnatians and his network of musicians to create one of the most unique chamber music series in the country. His vision of bringing together musical artists and friends to perform great music in an environment that allows audiences to experience the energy of music-making in an up-close and personal way remains key to the success of these concerts.
Today, it has evolved into an internationally acclaimed chamber music series, attracting world-class musicians to share their love of music in these intimate concerts. Under the artistic direction of Jaime Laredo and Sharon Robinson, Linton Chamber Music continues its tradition of presenting the nest classical chamber music in inspiring settings. Linton also remains committed to grow future audiences and appreciation for this art form through its innovative children's series, Peanut Butter and Jam Sessions.

Murrieta, CA – On Wednesday, March 23, 2022, at 8:08 a.m., the Murrieta Police Department Dispatch Center received a report of a traffic collision involving a pick-up truck and a pedestrian on Clinton Keith Road, east of Via Mariposa.
Murrieta Police Officers arrived on scene at 8:12 a.m. and found a female lying on the north side walk of Clinton Keith Road, east of Via Mariposa, suffering from significant injuries. Officers rendered aid and lifesaving measures.
Witnesses on scene described a white, full sized pick-up truck as being involved in the collision which reportedly fled the scene prior to police arrival. Additional officers arrived on scene and began canvasing the area for the pick-up truck. Officers located the truck a few blocks from the accident scene. The driver of the truck was identified as Rodney Phillips (57) of Hemet, California.
Through witness statements and physical evidence, officers learned that Phillips was traveling west on Clinton Keith Road in the Number 3 lane, east of Via Mariposa. An adult female was walking west on the north sidewalk of Clinton Keith Road in the same vicinity. Phillips' truck drove onto the sidewalk and struck the pedestrian. The impact of the collision caused multiple life-threatening injuries to the pedestrian. She was transported to a local hospital for emergency care. Despite lifesaving efforts by emergency personnel both at the scene and at the hospital, the adult female later succumbed to her injuries.
Phillips is suspected to have been driving while under the influence and was arrested and booked into the Cois Byrd Detention Center for Gross Vehicular Manslaughter (while intoxicated) and Fleeing the Scene of a Fatal Traffic Collision.
The Murrieta Police Department's Traffic Bureau is conducting a full investigation into the cause of the collision. The Riverside County Coroner will determine the cause of death.
Anyone who has not been contacted by a Murrieta Police Officer or Investigator with information related to this traffic collision is encouraged to contact Murrieta Police Traffic Investigator Dale de Schepper at (951) 461-6304 or [email protected] or Traffic Bureau Sergeant Ontario Williams at (951) 461-6360 or [email protected]

Mr. Dashwood's death
The Dashwood family, Mr. and Mrs. Dashwood and their two daughters, lived happily until Mr. Dashwood's death. Afterwards, Mrs. Dashwood and the girls soon heard even more bad news. The house and most of the family fortune had been left to John Dashwood, Mr. Dashwoodd's son by his first marriage. Soon after, John and his wife, Fanny, arrived at the house. John had promised his father that he would look after his half-sisters, but Funny persuaded him to give them virtually nothing. Mrs. Dashwood and her daughters suddenly found themselves with very little money and with nowhere to live.
Elinor meets Edward
For a few months, the Dashwoods stayed in their old house, while they looked for another, much smaller place to live. During this period, Fanny's brother, Edward Ferrars, came to visit them regularly. He was very different from his sister. He was sensitive and very shy, but soon he and the eldest daughter, Elinor, were getting on very well. The second daughter, Marianne, asked her sister if she was planning to get married. Elinor said she liked Edward a lot but there were no plans for marriage. Marianne could not understand her sister's patience. Marianne was very romantic and believed in true love. Soon, however, the Dashwoods moved into a cottage near a small village in Devon, in the west of England. There they met Colonel Brandon, an honest and serious man of thirty-five. He started to pay attention to the young Marianne, who was seventeen and very pretty. Marianne liked him but thought that he was too old and boring for her. She wanted real love.
Marianne falls in love
One day, Marianne went for a walk but a storm broke out. When Marianne was running home, she fell and hurt her leg. Just then, a man arrived on the scene. He pickled up Marianne and took her home. The man's name was Willoughby and he was tall and very handsome. He and Marianne talked and talked for hours. Very soon Marianne was totally in love with him, even though her sensible sister, Elinor, told Marianne to be careful – they did not know anything about this man. Marianne and Willoughby got closer and closer. But one day, Willoughby came to the cottage and said he had to leave and go to London. Marianne was very upset.
Elinor hears a secret
Soon afterwards, a girl called Lucy Steele came to stay in the village. Lucy Steele told Elinor that she was engaged to be married – the man was Edward Ferrars! They had met and got engaged when they were very young. They could not get married though, because Edward's mother would not give them permission. This made Elinor very unhappy.
Visit to London.
In the autumn, a friend of Mrs. Dashwood's offered to take Elinor and Marianne to London. As soon as they arrived in London, Marianne started writing letters to Willoughby but there was no reply. In London in the winter there were lost of dances, parties and dinners. At one dance Marianne saw Willoughby. He was with another woman and he seemed cold and distant. The next day they found out why – Willoughby was engaged to marry a rich woman. Marianne still loved him deeply and was very, very upset.
While they were staying in London, Elinor and Lucy Steel. Edward's mother, Mrs. Ferrars, had heard about Edward's engagement to Lacy. Mrs. Ferrars was very angry and told Edward that she wouldn't give him any many if he married Lucy. She wanted him to marry a rich woman.
Mrs. Ferrars gave a lot of Edward's share of the family money to Robert, his younger brother. After this Edward decided to become a vicar and Colonel Brandon was very generous, offering him a job in the village near his house.
Marianne's illness
The two sisters left London. On the way back Marianne had a terrible fever. The doctor thought she going to die. One night there was a knock on the door. It was Willoughby! He was sorry for his behavior and said he still loved Marianne-he had had to get married because of his debts. When she recovered, Marianne talked to Elinor about everything that had happened. In the future, she decided she would try to control her feelings. One day, they received news of the marriage of Lucy Steel and a 'Mr. Ferrars'. Elinor was very sad. She was thinking about it when suddenly a man appeared outside the door. It was Edward.
Two weddings
Edward soon explained everything to Elinor. He had got engaged to Lucy when he was very young. He did not love her any more, but he had not wanted to break his engagement. However, when Lucy realized that Edward was going to be so poor, she had turned her attention on his younger brother Robert. She had married Robert, not him! Edward was not free from his engagement to Lucy. He had loved Elinor since the first time he met her. Now he could ask Elinor to marry him! Elinor did not need time to think it over. She accepted Edward's proposal.
Edward and Elinor married and moved to the village near Colonel Brandon's house. Not long after, Colonel Brandon, who had always been so generous, faithful and loyal, finally persuaded Marianne to marry him. After all her experiences Marianne had changed her opinions about love. The colonel loved her deeply and soon she was devoted to him. In the end both sisters lived happily in the same village.

Univetica offers new solutions to help you transform your business into an engine for positive social change.
Just as maximization of monetary value motivates traditional entrepreneurs, optimization of social value serves to motivate this new class of businessmen and women.
Univetica's new social entrepreneurship solutions make it simpler and easier than ever to transform a traditional business into a social business. Social entrepreneurship is the innovation and creation of a venture that harnesses the power of business to generate positive social change. A social entrepreneur is an agent for such change—a new wave businessperson for the 21st century. While traditional entrepreneurs often migrate toward business to generate profit, serious socially-minded entrepreneurs place improving the world around them as their primary fiduciary, even sometimes at the expense of higher profits.
Just as maximization of monetary value motivates traditional entrepreneurs, optimization of social value serves to motivate this new class of businessmen and women. Social entrepreneurs have been known to bring first-world health care tools to people neglected by all but the most dedicated non-profit enterprises. They find ways to rebuild economies in war- or disaster-plagued areas, establishing commerce which not only serves a community's goals of economic growth, but its social goals as well. Some notables in this area have even gone on to establish institutions which encourage and assist in the growth of social business ventures such as select community-owned banks, media companies, and membership associations.
For anyone with the will to make a positive impact through business, there is practically nothing standing in the way of social entrepreneurship. To a great degree, our globalized economy forces us to pay attention to foreign locales, not just from a monetary standpoint but from a moral one as well. Ignoring deteriorating conditions throughout the world now has direct consequences at home. To succeed in business, more than ever, companies are being pressured to consider the impact of their existence on the community at large. Univetica social entrepreneurship solutions work, not only for emerging and rapidly expanding businesses, but also for those interested in differentiating themselves within their industries.
Since companies have been guided by the profit motive traditionally, one might assume that there is a fundamental divide between traditional entrepreneurship and social entrepreneurship. However, with the rise of Corporate Social Responsibility in the marketplace, the wall between traditional and social businesses has begun to fall. Growing consumer awareness of regressive business paradigms—rampant resource exhaustion, increasing disparities between rich and poor, unsustainable profit-driving strategies—has placed increased pressure on even the largest of corporations to begin acting in a more socially conscious manner. Many for-profit companies are now beginning to understand that healthy communities translate into stronger business, greater brand-loyalty, and happier, more productive employees. Businesses today have begun to realize that there exists a growing population of consumers eager to support companies which put the community first.
Univetica views social entrepreneurship as more than just a new and upcoming approach to business. Where others see problems, a social entrepreneur sees opportunity and not just for mere profits or market dominance but for the greater good. The default mode of thinking is not, "how can I best profit from this situation?" but rather, "how can I best contribute to this situation?"

Where questions of violence and nonviolence cannot be raised inside a polity, it becomes obligatory that social scientists undertake them from the outside (Paige 2002:92). And if we are to "transform our society from a psychology of killing and threats to kill to one that is life-enhancing and spiritually fulfilling," (Ariyaratne 1999:73) then social science research on nonviolence and unarmed peacekeeping is an imperative. With this in mind I investigated the Shanthi Sena (Peace Brigade), an independent unit of the Sarvodaya Sharamadana Movement in Sri Lanka, through a six week in-depth case study; a full description, understanding and appreciation of a long established -yet little known- creative, nonviolent movement for social change and reconstruction. Although this study was strictly exploratory in nature it endeavored not only to inductively generate relevant descriptive inferences and indicators, but also to highlight implications beyond the academic sphere.
My most important fund of historical, practical and experiential knowledge was the people of Sri Lanka, especially those of the Sarvodaya Sharamadana Movement and, more so, the Shanthi Sena. In an attempt to understand the Shanthi Sena in action I petitioned them for advice on constructing and exercising an inductive research strategy, employing participant observation and open-ended conversations: a study program and learning experience that provided authentic understanding of the Shanthi Sena's mission; a study that would be shared and hopefully utilized by the Shanhti Sainiks and villagers.
My methodological approach was extremely "soft:" I observed the Shanthi Sena in training, and, when it was appropriate, I participated with them. I also spent lots of time just observing the Shanthi Sainiks interacting among themselves and with the villagers. I constantly tried to be as unobtrusive as possible. The majority of my personal conversations were prompted by a question or an inquiry asked of me, such as: "You came all the way from the United States to study the Shanthi Sena?" The need for creativity at times mandated methodological improvisation.
The true foundation of any participant observation case study is the establishment of trust and respect, and, in humanistic measurement, its capstone.
This thesis summarizes and delineates the origin, philosophy, methods, and the present state of the Shanthi Sena and the Sarvodaya Sharamadana Movement. Through close observation of particular events and summary of historical detail, this thesis makes a contribution to an important topic that has been overlooked in the literature of peace studies, nonviolence, nonviolent training, and unarmed peacekeeping.

Earlier today the DECT Forum issued a press release in response to news from last months Chaos Communications Congress (25C3) that the DECT encryption has been cracked. Their press release (PDF) is about what you'd expect. It merely asserts their willingness to work with researchers to develop new and better security provisions as part of the CAT-iQ standard that replaces DECT.
I would hope that they would not only develop a better standard, but also ensure that the encryption provisions are in fact implemented by manufacturers. To my mind the most frightful part of the DeDECTed groups work was finding that some DECT implementations were not encrypted at all. Further, that there was essentially no way for a non-technical user to know if the DECT system that they were buying was encrypted or not.
If privacy is a priority, look no further than the Gigaset SL965, the world's first cordless DECT telephone with point-to-point call encryption .
Also supports normal unencrypted calls, unencrypted SMS, address telephone book, appointments etc.
Of course, this model does not support VoIP, just PSTN calling. Go figure.
I was at the conference. Very interesting talk. It seems if your basestation or another rogue basestation says that it does not support encryption then the handset talks unencrypted.
The same if a handset says I don't support encryption the basestation does not use encryption.

Clym and eustacia relationship test
Wildeve, as has been stated, was determined to visit Eustacia boldly, by day, and on the easy terms of a relation, since the reddleman had spied out He did not even desire Clym's absence, since it was just possible that Eustacia might resent any . By trying to get back to his studies. By vowing to leave the heath. Quiz. The laborers discuss what a good couple Eustacia and Clym might and questions him about their relationship with the Yeobright family. The narrative primarily focuses on Eustacia Vye's relationships with Damon Clym Yeobright kindled passion in Eustacia largely because of his glittering career.
The conflict between these two antithetical modes of perception is inevitable from the outset; both fail to see the other at the commencement of the relationship. When the story begins, we are not introduced with Clym who has been in Paris at that time but returns soon to the heath and it is the return that drives the plot of novel. He is young man of thirty three and he is attractive enough to make Eustasia fall in love with him.
She is a woman of nineteen, tall, straight and graceful. Her very appearance made Clym infatuated with her.
Eustacia always longs for passionate love: The crippling boredom and feeling of being trapped within the heath leads Eustacia to crave an unrealistic love. All Eustacia ever really craves is a chance to escape the Heath and lead the life she so arrogantly presumes to be her right.
She imagines Clym as a born leader of man who would go with her into the brilliant world — Paris which would give her the fullness of life and the freedom she craves for. Is there any place like it on earth?
Indeed, it should be noted that Clym is the returning native of the heath, while Eustacia is a complete alien on the heath, making her entrapment upon it even more poignant. Her belief that she will be able to convince Clym to return to Paris after they are married is another part of her downfall; she has too much faith in her own power There is a fatal incompatibility between the two lovers.
All her fears come true. Eustacia blushed for the first time that day.
He's an enthusiast about ideas, and careless about outward things. He often reminds me of the Apostle Paul. I have certainly got thistles for figs in a worldly sense, but how could I tell what time would bring forth?
You rightly belonged to me, you know; and I had no idea of losing you. Two could not belong to you; and remember that, before I was aware, you turned aside to another woman. It was cruel levity in you to do that.
I never dreamt of playing such a game on my side till you began it on yours. Men are given to the trick of having a passing fancy for somebody else in the midst of a permanent love, which reasserts itself afterwards just as before.
Clym & Eustacia: The Relationship | Mr Henneman's language and literature pages
On account of your rebellious manner to me I was tempted to go further than I should have done; and when you still would keep playing the same tantalizing part I went further still, and married her. He ought to be happier than I in one thing at least. He may know what it is to come down in the world, and to be afflicted with a great personal calamity; but he probably doesn't know what it is to lose the woman he loved.
Many women would go far for such a husband. But do I desire unreasonably much in wanting what is called life — music, poetry, passion, war, and all the beating and pulsing that are going on in the great arteries of the world?
CLYM- EUSTACIA RELATIONSHIP
That was the shape of my youthful dream; but I did not get it. Yet I thought I saw the way to it in my Clym. I married him because I loved him, but I won't say that I didn't love him partly because I thought I saw a promise of that life in him. Clym can sing merrily; why should not I? But as life means nothing to me, without one thing which is now impossible, you will forgive me for not being able to encourage you.
You mince matters to an uncommon nicety. You mean, Damon, that you still love me. Well, that gives me sorrow, for I am not made so entirely happy by my marriage that I am willing to spurn you for the information, as I ought to do.
But we have said too much about this. Do you mean to wait until my husband is awake?

Nobel Laureates vs. Greenpeace
Dozens of Nobel Prize winners pen an open letter, calling on the environmental organization to stop spreading false claims regarding genetically modified organisms.
Bob Grant
WIKIMEDIA, SALAMANDER724More than 100 Nobel Prize-winning researchers are calling out environmental group Greenpeace for its opposition to the development of genetically-modified organisms (GMOs) in agriculture.
"The United Nations Food & Agriculture Program has noted that global production of food, feed, and fiber will need approximately to double by 2050 to meet the demands of a growing global population," the laureates wrote in an open letter. "Organizations opposed to modern plant breeding, with Greenpeace at their lead, have repeatedly denied these facts and opposed biotechnological innovations in agriculture. They have misrepresented their risks, benefits, and impacts, and supported the criminal destruction of approved field trials and research projects."
In particular, the authors of the letter call attention to Greenpeace's campaign against so-called Golden Rice, a genetically engineered (GE) crop meant to address vitamin A deficiency. "We call upon governments of the world to reject Greenpeace's campaign against Golden Rice specifically, and crops and foods improved through biotechnology in general; and to do everything in their power to oppose Greenpeace's actions and accelerate the access of farmers to all the tools of modern biology, especially seeds improved through biotechnology," the letter reads. "Opposition based on emotion and dogma contradicted by data must be stopped."
"Corporations are overhyping Golden Rice to pave the way for global approval of other more profitable genetically engineered crops," Wilhelmina Pelegrina, a campaigner for Greenpeace Southeast Asia, told the Huffington Post. "Rather than invest in this overpriced public relations exercise, we need to address malnutrition through a more diverse diet, equitable access to food, and eco-agriculture."
Richard Roberts, chief scientific officer of New England Biolabs and cowinner of the 1993 Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine for his work on introns, spearheaded the letter-writing campaign. "We're scientists. We understand the logic of science. It's easy to see what Greenpeace is doing is damaging and is anti-science," Roberts told The Washington Post. "Greenpeace initially, and then some of their allies, deliberately went out of their way to scare people. It was a way for them to raise money for their cause."
Roberts told the Washington Post that he hopes Greenpeace would eventually "admit that this is an issue that they got wrong and focus on the stuff that they do well."

Change in the Arctic: It's Not Just About the Future
It's not just that the Arctic is changing rapidly that startles me; it's how much it has already changed.
Thirty years ago, we used to say, "If the Arctic changes…" Fifteen years ago, we said, "When the Arctic changes…" Five years ago, we said, "As the Arctic changes…" Today, I have to report that the Arctic has changed.
The Arctic of today is a vastly different place than the Arctic of just 10 to 15 years ago. While the Arctic is a massive region and the degree and rate of change vary greatly across the North, there is compelling data that outlines the changes. From a decrease in sea ice to a rise in sea levels, to an increase in the number of stormy days, changes are happening now in the Arctic. The video below summarizes just a few of the findings:
[youtube]https://youtu.be/yYtqDb_of-o[/youtube]
These are just some of the measurable changes happening now in the Arctic. I travel frequently in the Canadian Arctic and hear countless stories of change. Elders have told me it's harder to navigate due to changing sea ice, wind and weather conditions; hunters have told me the ice is less predictable and more dangerous for travel; friends point out areas of eroding coastline that were once popular picnic spots.
It isn't just about the future anymore. Today the Arctic is experiencing change faster than anywhere else on planet Earth, and it has been for some time now. We're just beginning to understand the impact these changes in the Arctic are having elsewhere in the world. But the impact that we're having on the Arctic is clear.
Eric Solomon chats with elders in the Arctic community to learn how sea ice changes affect their communities.
We're not going to reverse these changes any time soon, but we can take steps to minimize our future impact. Reducing your personal contribution to carbon in the atmosphere is a first step, but the real solutions must come from government policy and corporate practice built on a solid scientific foundation. One of the most powerful things you can do is become aware of the issues and vote accordingly — with your ballot and your wallet. It's one of the best tools we've got.
You can learn more about the changing Arctic on your next visit to the Vancouver Aquarium Marine Science Centre with hands on exhibits and displays in the Canada's Arctic exhibit.
Blog post submitted by Eric Solomon, director of Arctic programs at the Vancouver Aquarium. Eric is working on building relationships with scientists and the local community to help protect Canada's fragile Arctic environment.

Q: How is an instance of a parent component passed into a child component constructor? I'm trying to understand how the table component works in PrimeNG.  I'm confused as to how an instance of a parent component is passed into the constructor of the child component.
Here is the source to the TableBody component taking in an instance of the Table component. PrimeNG Table Source
So my understanding is that the TableBody component has an attribute as the selector.  It is passed in the columns and bodyTemplate from the parent (Table) component. Now what I don't understand is how an instance of the parent component (Table) is passed into it when it is created.
Snippet of the Table component template

                <ng-container *ngTemplateOutlet="colGroupTemplate; context {$implicit: columns}"></ng-container>

                    <ng-container *ngTemplateOutlet="headerTemplate; context: {$implicit: columns}"></ng-container>

                    <ng-container *ngTemplateOutlet="footerTemplate; context {$implicit: columns}"></ng-container>

Full Source: Github source
Any insight is greatly appreciated.

A:
The attributes [pTableBody] and [pTableBodyTemplate] has in the parent component has declared @Input in the ts file.
And the "columns" is binded to a variable with the same name.
Read a bit about Input and Output https://www.sitepoint.com/angular-2-components-inputs-outputs/
Hope I helped a bit.


At least 33 children and three adults fell ill at a Florida summer camp in Lake Placid. Local officials don't know the cause of the illness. Many began vomiting, but officials said no cases were life-threatening.
A Florida man tried to flee a traffic stop and jumped into an algae-filled canal, forcing police to rescue him.


Oil prices jumped after the news of the death of King Abdullah, the leader of OPEC's top producer, Saudi Arabia, added to the uncertainty on the global energy market.
Following the announcement by the Saudi royal court, futures in New York and London rose by 3.1 percent and 2.6 percent, respectively.
In early Asian trading, US benchmark WTI crude futures increased by over 2 percent, reaching $47.76 per barrel. At the time of publication, oil futures for March were edging closer to $50 per barrel – at $49.3 per barrel.
King Abdullah died early on Friday. His brother Crown Prince Salman, 79, will replace him on the Saudi throne.
"King Abdullah was the architect of the current strategy to keep production high and force out smaller players instead of cutting," he told Reuters.
In November, Saudi Arabia led a decision by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) to maintain its oil production quota at 30 million barrels per day.
As a result, the oversupply and slow demand saw oil prices slumping almost 50 percent since peaking in June 2014.
The current situation on the energy markets was, in large part, caused by the US as the world's top oil consumer became one of the leading producers due to booming shale output.
American crude stockpiles jumped by 10.1 million barrels, which is the largest increase since early 2001, last week's Energy Information Administration's report said.

Demonic State: Why ISIS represents real spiritual evil
'Raping a woman 10 times makes her a Muslim' ISIS fighter told
Carey Lodge Fri 9 Oct 2015 11:25 BST
The UN earlier this year said that ISIS may have committed genocide against the Yazidi minority.Reuters
Islamic State has issued guidelines to its fighters saying that raping a woman ten times will convert her to Islam, a former sex slave has claimed.
Noor, a 22-year-old Yazidi woman, was abducted by ISIS when her village in the Sinjar province of Iraq was attacked by jihadists last year. She told CNN that she was bought by a militant who forced her to marry him, and later showed her a letter he'd received on the front line.
"This shows any captured women will become Muslim if 10 ISIS fighters rape her," the militant told her. Noor says she was then raped by her "husband", before he gave her to 11 of his friends who each raped her as well.
A minority ethno-religious group, Yazidis have been systematically persecuted by Islamic State during its attempts to create a caliphate across Iraq and Syria. Their religion is an offshoot of Zoroastrianism, which blends ancient religious traditions with both Christianity and Islam. ISIS believes them to be "devil-worshippers".
Around 3,000 women and girls, the majority of whom are Yazidis, are believed to remain in ISIS captivity, and the UN earlier this year said that militants may have committed genocide against the minority.
Noor was interviewed alongside two other young women who had managed to escape ISIS. Bushra, 21, said that militants forced captured women to have an abortion if they were found to be already pregnant.
A friend of hers was three months pregnant when she was kidnapped by ISIS. "They took her into another room. There were two doctors and they did the abortion," Bushra said. When her friend returned, she was bleeding heavily and in excruciating pain.
"I asked her what happened and how they did it," Bushra added. "She said the doctors told her not to speak."
Other escaped Yazidis have spoken of the systematic rape of women and children captured by ISIS. One woman told UN investigators that an Islamic State 'doctor' repeatedly raped her, and sat on her stomach telling her: "this baby should die because it is an infidel; I can make a Muslim baby."
ISIS last year issued guidelines specifying how its followers are to treat their female slaves.
Dated October/November 2014, the Q&A leaflet details exactly how they may buy, sell and abuse "unbelieving" women – thought to mean all those who are not Sunni Muslims.
It clarifies that "It is permissible to have intercourse with the female slave who hasn't reached puberty if she is fit for intercourse," and any female slave who attempts to run away is to be "reprimanded in a way that deters others like her from escaping".

French case study in crowdfunding brings journalism closer to its audience
World News Publishing Focus
Your Guide to the Changing Media Landscape
The journalists' collective seeking to buy a group of French daily newspapers expects to reach its initial crowdfunding goal by the end of the week.
But one of the journalists behind the Nice Matin campaign has told the World Editors Forum that they will continue their fundraising efforts beyond that goal.
Nice Matin, Var Matin and Corse Matin, a group of daily newspapers based in the South of France and in Corsica, have received much publicity after using Ulule, a European crowdfunding site, to launch a bid to buy their paper group.
Their objective is to protect the jobs of those working for the paper in the context of recent financial difficulties that have resulted in the Matin group being put up for sale.
With sales averaging over 250,000 copies each day, the company, owned by Groupe Hersant Media, is a leader on the French market.
Nice Matin journalist Damien Allemand told the World Editors Forum that the project's stated fundraising target of €300 000 is not, however, adequate to buy the paper, which is also the subject of other buyer interest: "We hope to reach the full sum by the beginning of this week. Based on the rate of donations so far, we have calculated that we should have the full amount by then," Allemand said.
"We must emphasise that it does not end there. €300 000 is not our goal; it was simply the amount that we thought we could easily reach. Really, we want to acquire as much as possible, so €300 000, and then €600 000 and if we are fortunate enough to get that, we hope to go even higher still."
But, even once the required money has been pledged, there is no certainty that the crowdfunding initiative will be successful, as approval from the executive board has to be secured. Nice Matin's Business Tribunal has to decide if it will choose the crowdfunding bid, which is in competition with major media players, including Libération.
So, how might a crowdfunded paper be run? Damien Allemand explains that there are also private investors involved in the project, who would bring their expertise and leadership to it. Allemand told the World Editors Forum that new management, business and editorial strategies are currently being developed for operations in a crowdfunded environment.
To thank the public for their commitment to the project, Allemand hopes to 'provide a maximum of space for people to express themselves, for citizen journalism, exchange and debate', as well as a thank you party.
Donors to this project are motivated principally by attachment to the paper, sending letters of encouragement with their donations, with some saying they are unable to imagine everyday life without Nice Matin.
Crowdfunding for journalism is quickly gaining ground internationally. It is a phenomenon that can be traced back to 2003, when ArtistShare created a platform for the public to fund artists' music projects. The concept has spread from there into a vast array of industries, notably business and the media.
Although very much still a niche form of media funding , crowdfunding is certainly making its mark in media coverage, shaking up the market and putting the news back into the hands of its audience.
Laurie Fitzjohn's Let's Own The News project, covered by WAN-IFRA earlier this month, is attempting to buy The Times and The Sunday Times in the UK in a bid to break what is seen by the some as a Murdochian monopoly on the news. This project, which aims to raise £150m, is arguably more symbolic than realistic, with Fitzjohn telling Financial News that even if the bid does not come to fruition, it will still have raised important questions about how News Corp is run.
Other journalism crowdfunding projects tend to be based on a smaller-scale, more case-by-case model, such as Newsprying, where journalists can seek crowdfunding for an individual story.
Last year, content-based Dutch news website De Correspondent broke journalism crowdfunding world records when it raised $1.3 million for its launch in just over week.
With professional organisations such as Nice Matin and student media alike making use of it, is crowdfunding here to stay?
Not every story is one of success, of course, and many journalistic projects seeking crowd-funding do not reach their targets; a quick scan through IndieVoices or Kickstarter, two of the leading crowdfunding websites for media, reveals a vast array of projects which have not managed to attract any investment.
Another community project is Bellingcat, created by Eliot Higgins, who writes under the nom de plume Brown Moses. This project was funded by a successful Kickstarter campaign, in which over £50,000 were pledged, as reported by the World Editors Forum earlier this month.
Bellingcat's stated aim is to 'unite citizen investigative journalists to use open source information to report on issues that are being ignored', and Eliot Higgins told us that individual journalists will continue to use crowdfunding to sustain the project:
"Each contributor will have their own profile on the crowdfunding site Uncoverage, allowing readers to directly support their work, and we'll also look at using shorter crowdfunding campaigns for funding specific projects. For example, we're currently looking at crowdfunding the purchase of satellite photographs of an airbase in Iraq to identify the Iranian aircraft that are based there."
Crowd-funding can also form a key part of a project's marketing campaign, as Higgins explained: "it was also a great way to raise awareness for the new site, and resulted in a number of people getting in contact who were interested in helping out as contributors. I was in a position where I could call in a lot of favours to get coverage for the project, so that helped, as well as events that occurred during the campaign that brought attention to it."
So what makes one crowdfunding project stand out against hundreds of others?
Bellingcat is an example of a perfect storm of timing and innovation, filling a particular niche at the opportune moment. Higgins explained further:
"With the downing of MH17 we could demonstrate the usefulness of the site, really show why Bellingcat was important, and that caught a lot of people's imagination. There seems to be some interest among people interested in specific news events to have a much deeper and current insight into those events than the traditional media is currently able to offer. ...It's not as big as an audience that might buy a newspaper or visit a site like Mashable or Buzzfeed, but there's that core readership who are willing to support that kind of work directly."
Uncoverage is a new platform through which private individuals can sponsor investigative journalism that is of interest to them. It currently has just six journalists listed on its website, after an unsuccessful crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo and it is not a free-for-all, by any means; its founder Israel Mirsky told The New York Times that it is only for funding projects of public interest, written by experienced journalists.
In an interview with Journalism.co.uk, Mirsky gave his view on why crowdfunding projects like his, which aim to democratise journalism, are important:
"Investigative journalism is the immune system of a functioning democracy. When the funding model is broken it's equivalent to an immune disease. You don't die from that directly, but from the secondary infections that happen when your immune system is damaged. As a civically-minded individual I can't sit by and let that happen."

It's a disease that quietly attacks people of all ages and backgrounds and uses the mechanisms of our own bodies to slowly destroy us from the inside out. One of the greatest weapons we have against the disease is early detection. Ninety percent of cancers are curable if they are caught through early screening.
Unfortunately, exactly this kind of care is currently being denied to the tens of thousands of Mainers who have lost or aren't eligible for health care coverage because Gov. LePage and the Maine Legislature have failed to accept federal funding through the Affordable Care Act. More people and their families will suffer from more serious bouts of cancer as a result.
That's not just an academic assessment. I've met some of those who are at the highest risk and have just been cut off. One of many examples is Elizabeth Throckmorton Kellett, a small-business owner who lives in Walpole and has already lost one kidney to the disease.
Right now she's working to get her plant nursery and gift shop back up and running after the death of her husband. That task was made more difficult Jan. 1, when she lost her health care coverage. Now she can't afford to visit the doctor and is forced to go without the regular screenings and tests she needs.
I expected the circumstances of people like Kellett to be part of the debate in the Maine Senate on Thursday, as lawmakers considered a bill to accept the federal funds. Republican Sen. Rodney Whittemore surprised me, however, by focusing on a different kind of cancer: the rhetorical kind.
"To expand Medicaid under the federal rules would inflict a malignant cancer of dependency on thousands of Mainers who could otherwise provide for themselves under the exchange or private insurance," said Whittemore.
That's right: Whittemore voted against accepting the funding because he's worried that giving struggling Mainers access to health coverage will infect them with a "cancer" that will make them lazy and dependent. Apparently, according to Whittemore, the threat from his metaphorical cancer should trump the real threat Mainers face from the actual disease.
For the record, the people the senator is talking about live right on the poverty line and are already working, many of them at hard jobs for low wages. To say they require a fear of injury, illness or medical bankruptcy in order to give them "motivation" is baseless and downright callous.
It's no more unsound, however, than the other arguments trotted out by Republicans on this issue. In fact, it makes a lot more sense to admit that you want to deny people health care because you think it will make them lazy than it does to try to claim that pumping $1.05 billion of federal money into the state somehow won't actually help the economy.
Or, as some Republicans are now attempting, to claim that allowing people access to health care coverage won't actually benefit their health.
The hard-core Republicans who have taken a stand against expanding coverage are making these kinds of tortured claims because that's the only ground they have to stand on. Their position is purely political, and it's the latest signal of the degree to which the Maine Republican Party has been captured by the tea party fringe.
Expansion legislation has been championed by Republican governors and legislatures in other states, and the bill being voted on right now in Maine is a compromise measure written and sponsored by Republicans.
It meets all of the Republican Party's stated concerns and even includes a handout to the insurance companies through the inclusion of a managed care provision (something Republicans usually love), but it has found little traction within the wider caucus.
If Republican lawmakers continue to stand with Gov. LePage, his veto will be enough to overrule the bipartisan majorities in favor of the bill and doom the health care expansion.
Cancer isn't a metaphor, nor is it political. It's cancer. It doesn't care if you're a Republican or a Democrat, rich or poor. It has struck my family, and it has probably hit yours.
We have a chance to save people with no other options from more of that kind of suffering. Let's not let rhetoric and a skewed, hard-hearted view of the working class prevent that from happening.

In the event that I am out and have a substitute, please complete the following project. If you finish early, continue working on the filler project.
1. Begin with a square piece of paper. Follow steps 1 - 3 (See the visual steps below).
2. Next complete steps 4 - 6. Step 6 is opening all of the folds to show the square.
3. Follow steps 7 - 10. You will draw the eye in step 9. Notice its placement on the folded paper.
4. Coloring in the eye - The eye will be colored in colored pencil. It should include several colors and marks to make it as realistic as possible. Be sure and leave white paper showing for the highlight in the eye. You may draw your own eye, someone else's eye, an animal eye, or a monster eye. Below are some websites to help you with your eye.
Color the eye lid. The color should be based on the eye you used. If it is a human eye, the skin color should match the skin color of its owner. You may need to mix several colors together to create the exact color of the skin. If it is an animal or a monster, choose a color that fits with that creature. Draw on the eyelashes or cut them out of cardboard. Color the cardboard lashes with black Sharpie and glue them on.
5. Continue with steps 11 -13. Step 11 is to simply turn over step 10 so you are viewing the back.
6. Steps 14 - 17 are a bit tricky. Pay close attention to the directions. The black dotted line down the center of the paper represents the vertical center axis. It is to show the center of the paper. You will need to find the center of your paper since it will not have this line. Do not create a fold there. If you must draw it on, be very light so it can be erased later. There is already a fold on the horizontal axis. Be aware of these two markers. They are used a lot in these folding steps. Once the folds are complete, flip the paper again. Pulling both ends opens and closes the eye.


The WaMu ESPN Total Access Visa card offers an intro 0% on purchases and balance transfers for 6 months with all BT fees waived for transfers performed within the first 90 days of account opening. Upon making your first purchase, you'll also receive 2,500 points through the ESPN Total Access Rewards Program. Points can be redeemed for tickets and VIP access to sporting events, merchandise and collectibles, retail, dining and other travel rewards. 2,500 points is redeemable, for example, for a $25 gift card at the ESPN Shop.
Now, on the surface these benefits look pretty similar to the Petsmart card. The redemption opportunities for the PetRewards credit card, however, make the difference. You can redeem 1000 points for $20 worth of vet expenses at any veterinary office, turning this card into a 2% card for general use, or 4% if your pet care expenses are with participating vendors. The main issue with redemption, of course, is the convenience factor, as you'll have to fill out a form and return receipts in order to be reimbursed. For those with pet expenses who don't mind sending in receipts, however, this card represents a reasonable option.

You may have noticed a resurgence of hashtags on LinkedIn over the past few months and you may also have seen some extra areas popping up around the site as well to help their usage.
It seemed appropriate therefore to have a delve into just how we might use them effectively on LinkedIn, both from a publisher's perspective and also as a reader / consumer of content.
So why bother with hashtags when you publish on LinkedIn? As you may have noticed, LinkedIn has started to encourage us to use hashtags every time we post, whether that is an update or an article, giving us some suggested initial selections which are based on your past usage and also on the text you have inserted.
Do you want Followers or Connections on LinkedIn?
There was an interesting addition to the site functionality that LinkedIn has just announced and which I spotted a couple of weeks ago in the Settings area. It's all about the difference between "connecting" with and "following" someone – you see, you can do both (which is the norm) or either ('follow but not connect' or 'connect but not follow') or neither of course.
You may have noted that LinkedIn seems to have succumbed to an attack of the measles … green measles to be precise. For some they arrived last year only to disappear for a while, but then returned last week once again and are now back with a vengeance. For others, you may be seeing them for the first time and wondering what they signify.
Don't worry, they're not contagious. However, they do potentially offer us some valuable focus for our interactions on LinkedIn – so let's get to the nitty gritty of what they are all about!
This is part of the LinkedIn system that is called the 'Active Status' indicator and quite simply it shows when your connections are actually logged into the site and, to a certain point, also when they were last active.
Last week LinkedIn made a "big announcement" that they were cutting down on the number of emails they were sending out in response to member feedback. Very admirable.
They also had this as one of the points in their quarterly sales announcement to the Stock Market. Really? Slow news day perhaps.

Q: How to feed classificators with two features I use this code example with my dataset.
My dataset has 3 columns:

*

*username: a unique alphanumeric (but it can exist on multiple rows)

*text: words separated with space (only words, no punctuation or whatever)

*flag: 1 or 0

Currently I'm using x = text, y = flag for the binary classification and works fine.
How can I predict flag using both "user" and "text" ?
I will describe my problem with more detail.
My dataset is like that:
Name Text Label
John,  word1 word2 etc, 0
George, word3 word4 etc, 1
Jenny, word3 word1 etc, 1
The name column have unique data. That means there is one john, one george etc
The text column contains words separated by space (no punctuation or whatever)
The flag column contains a binary flag consist of 1 and 0.
Currently im training my algorithms with X=test and y =Label like this:
cv = CountVectorizer()
X= cv.fit_transform(dataset.text)
Y = dataset['label']

X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(X, y, test_size=0.35)

model = RandomForestClassifier()
model.fit(X_train, y_train

)
Now i want to use the Name column AND the text column to feed the X.

Q: Listed arrow notations in php? This is something that I have been really curious about. I have tried to find the answer myself but I can't exactly think what to google. So first off, I am used to doing a regular query method either like this (when escaping):
$Database->query($sql)
or if using prepared statements like this:
$Database->statement($sql, array('ss', $val1, $val2))
However when reading through the source code of a project, I found this:
$id = DB::SQL()
                ->select("postId")
                ->from("post")
                ->where("conversationId=:conversationId")->bind(":conversationId", $conversation["conversationId"])
                ->orderBy("time DESC")
                ->limit(1)
                ->exec()
                ->result();

Now I know this is PDO, and also a random example however since I read this I've been wondering how this is done. If someone would be kind enough to explain then I'd really appreciate it.

A: The method you have done here is method chaining.
A simple example from here.
<?php

class fakeString

{
private $str;
function __construct()
{
    $this->str = "";
}

function addA()
{
    $this->str .= "a";
    return $this;
}

function addB()
{
    $this->str .= "b";
    return $this;
}

function getStr()
{
    return $this->str;
}
}

$a = new fakeString();

echo $a->addA()->addB()->getStr(); //outputs ab

Arvind Kejriwal is under two-fold pressure – formation of Government in Delhi and differences with his predecessor Anna Hazzare regarding Lokpal bill.
Though it is reported that the Delhi people have clearly exhibited their desire in favor of forming the Government in the latest referendum, but even some of the AAP leaders have expressed the trend analysis is media hype. The people want the AAP to form the government with the help of Congress under the leadership of Arvind Kejriwal.
People supporting such logic do also believe that AAP with a sustainable number of seats in parliament can even influence the decisions of the Congress-led UPA in the recent future. The opposite think tank feels that the Congress will never allow having a smooth run during the governance and ultimately the image of AAP will be stained.


In its first semester, the Bachelor of Science in Information Technology (BSIT) program at the KU Edwards Campus has seven majors and over 140 inquiries. The BSIT undergraduate degree is offered through the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS).
"We are excited by the tremendous interest shown in our new program, which came in response to demands by commercial, industrial and government organizations," said EECS Associate Chair for Edwards Campus programs Hossein Saiedian.
A collaboration between Johnson County Community College (JCCC) and KU Edwards Campus, the program is designed for working adults seeking higher education during evenings and professionals seeking to enhance their technical knowledge. BSIT students first obtain an associate's degree in IT at JCCC before coming to the Edwards Campus for upper-level courses that include Web technologies, cybersecurity, computer networking and information management. The Start 2 Finish educational partnership enables students to transfer seamlessly from the community college to the university to earn their bachelor degree.
"By enhancing IT educational opportunities within Johnson County, we will help area industries expand their IT infrastructures," Dr. Saiedin said. "Our new undergraduate program will advance the state of the art in IT education, improve regional productivity and competitiveness and offer best practices."
The BSIT is the second new degree program made possible through the Johnson County Education Research Triangle, which was created by a one-eighth cent sales tax in 2008. The initiative has generated more than $15 million annually to fund higher education and degree offerings through a partnership among Johnson County, the University of Kansas and Kansas State University.

Do you have a service-connected VA disability that you think is causing your sleep apnea? If so, you may be able to establish sleep apnea VA disability by your sleep apnea is a secondary disability.
In my last article, I talked about how to prove that your sleep apnea should be service connected on a direct basis. The basic idea is to show that your disability was incurred or aggravated during service.
Unfortunately, that is often difficult in sleep apnea claims for a variety of reasons. So, you always need to consider secondary service connection as another alternative. This article will discuss some ways to show secondary service connection for sleep apnea.
You may need a doctor's help to link your sleep apnea to another of your service connected disabilities.
Sometimes, veterans cannot show that they had sleep apnea in service. They may not have evidence of an in-service diagnosis or in-service symptoms that a doctor says were probably sleep apnea.
That may be your situation. You may know that you really did not have symptoms attributable to sleep apnea until after your discharge from service.
So, does that mean you cannot receive VA disability for sleep apnea? Not so fast. Don't forget about secondary service connection. A disability can be service connected on a secondary basis if it is the result of a service connected disability.
Here's an example to illustrate how this works. Recently, we helped a veteran who had a broken nose during service. The break was bad enough to cause a deviated septum, which means that the bone and cartilage dividing the nasal cavity was off center.
A deviated septum condition can obstruct the nasal airway. That obstruction can cause changes within the body that result in obstructive sleep apnea.
You would first need to make sure the deviated septum was service connected. This should be fairly straightforward if it was the result of an in service injury. Next, you would need a current diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea from a qualified doctor.
The veteran we helped had both of those. But, he was missing the nexus, or link, between the service connected disability and his obstructive sleep apnea. Through a written report from a qualified doctor (usually an ENT or neurologist in this type of case), he could prove nexus with a detailed explanation of how the deviated septum causes physiological changes in the body that causes apneas during sleep.
Remember, this is just one example. There are many different types of injuries and disabilities that can lead to obstructive sleep apnea. If you have a service-connected injury or disability that ultimately caused sleep apnea, your sleep apnea could potentially qualify for secondary service connection.
sufficient to prove nexus to VA. You, as the veteran, can only report your symptoms as you know them. You don't have the medical qualifications to say what caused those symptoms.
That explanation must be in the form of competent medical evidence if you want to have a successful claim for VA disability for sleep apnea. The doctor will need to explain in writing how your underlying service connected disability (the deviated septum in our example here) obstructed the nasal passages, which decreased oxygen intake and triggered the body to reflexively open the mouth to improve airflow.
The doctors also needs to explain what that does to the airway, increased resistance of airflow, and pressure changes within the body, all leading up to the cessation of breathing for brief periods. All this is highly technical, so VA requires a medical expert's opinion.
The important thing for you to know is how to recognize when you may have a claim for sleep apnea VA disability and which way you need to try to prove it. You should not try to win your claim without a medical opinion.
Likewise, it may be a good idea to at least consult with an attorney about sleep apnea VA disability. A VA-accredited attorney can help you determine which path is your best option or whether you should pursue multiple paths to service connection. We will talk with you about your VA claim for free.
