Udruga streličara "Vitez Zrinjski" Breze je hrvatska športska udruga iz Breza kod Tuzle, BiH. Primarno se bavi streličarstvom.

Povijest
Osnovni motiv osnivanja udruge je druženje. Osnivači su htjeli napraviti nešto novo što nemaju na svojim prostorima, a da bi privukli veći broj ljudi. Polučili su uspjeh, a djeca su najveći simpatizeri. Udruga se osim športom bavi i drugim aktivnostima kao što su briga za okolicu, kulturom, izgradnjom igrališta u MZ Ljubače.  Predsjednik udruge je Danijel Pejić.

Ideja za osnivanje potekla je iz sjećanja na djetinjstvo i igre lukom i strijelom. Idejni tvorci predstavili su zamisao prijateljima pravnicima, članovima HDZ-a BiH Tuzla. Prihvatili su ideju i krenulo se kreirati statut udruge. Izabrali su ime Zrinjski jer je vezano za ovdašnje krajeve u mnogim stvarima, najviše u športskim klubovima, jer već su imali kuglački klub slična imena, kao i nogometni, a sada i streličarski. Osnivači su dodali još i ime Vitez. Izabran je povijesni grb, čiji je tvorac Danijel Pejić osmislio u 4 minute.

Statut je napisan uz veliki trud prijatelja, i krenulo se u registraciju kluba. 27. studenoga 2015. udruga je dobila rješenje Ministarstva pravde BiH o upisu u registar udruge i moglo se krenuti s aktivnostima. Kod prijatelja blizu Varaždina Danijel i Mato Pejić otišli su vidjeti streličarsku opremu i vlastitim sredstvima kupili su opremu za udrugu. Udruga je dobila rješenje o registraciji 30. studenoga 2015. godine. Po dobivanju registracije otišli su na natjecanje, premda nisu imali natjecatelja. Odlazak je bio prvenstveno radi prezentiranja svog kluba ostalim klubovima, izviđanja formata natjecanja i opreme. Još istog mjeseca krenuli su s promotivnim aktivnostima u osnovnim školama "Ljubače" i "Kiseljak". Trajale su do veljače 2016. godine. S nastavnicima tjelesnog odgoja dogovoreno je napraviti dvije radionice da bi djeci prezentirali streličarstvo kao šport. Direktor osnovne škole "Ljubače" ustupio je športsku dvoranu da bi se mogli odvijati treninzi. Osnivači su planirali preurediti prostor devastirane bivše kuglane na Ljubačama.

Medalje
Na prvom službenom natjecanju u Sarajevu udruga je osvojila zlatnu medalju, nakon samo mjesec i pol dana priprema. Draž pobjede je jer su ju postigli s puno lošijom opremom od ostalih natjecatelja i sa samo 4 strijelice, pobijedivši natjecatelje koji treniraju preko 5 godina.

Luka Modric blasts English press as arrogant
Ahead of the Croatians clash against England, midfield maestro Luka Modric came out to criticize the attitude of English journalists. In his statement, the Real Madrid man insisted the British press was becoming pompous concerning the Three Lion's chances of clinching the trophy. Popular Opinion According to polls of popular opinions, English fans have insisted the Three Lions and the French national team stand a greater chance of winning the euros. In line with that, Luka Modric has argued the English press is exhibiting signs of arrogance. Modric's viewpoint From the statement of the Croatian captain, a few things could be understood. The apparent exhibition of arrogance is not coming from the players but from the press. Moving on, Modric acknowledged that the Croatian players have abandoned listening to statements from English Journalists. Currently, they are concentrating on improving their gameplay. Recent stats from the Three Lions The previous competitive match played by the Three Lions came in the World Cup. A semi-final tie against a similar Croatian team. Nonetheless, it did not have a rosy end for Gareth Southgate's men. As they were defeated by Croatia during the extra period. Improvements from Gareth Southgate Without any doubt, the English side has witnessed improvement from the team that faced Croatia in 2018. The likes of Mason Mount, Phil Foden, and Jack Grealish are a few awesome additions to the squad. The present crop of players would most probably provide a sterner test for an aging Croatian team. Final thoughts from Luka Modric Despite charging the Croatian team as arrogant, Luka Modric did not fail to attest to the fact that they are a great force to be reckoned with. In line with that, they concluded that they stand as one of the favourites to clinch the trophy. Conclusion The English team is currently made up of fantastic young as well as experienced players. Despite obvious displays of arrogance by the press, the Three Lions team remains favourites to emerge as Euro 2020 victors. Article Writer ✏ Ordu Daniel

solar system radius light years
How big is Solar System in terms of light-years? - Quora
And 1 light year is 63,270 AU. Now let us put things into perspective. We took the radius of the solar system to be 39.5 AU, which means it has a diameter of 79 AU. This means you could put the Solar System about 800 times in one Light Year.
Milky Way - Wikipedia
The Solar System is located at a radius of 26,490 (± 100) light-years from the Galactic Center, on the inner edge of the Orion Arm, one of the spiral-shaped concentrations of gas and dust. The stars in the innermost 10,000 light-years form a bulge and one or more bars that radiate from the bulge.
Solar System - Wikipedia

This means you could put the Solar System about 3440 times between the Sun and the nearest star taking this definition. If you include all the comets like we did in the second part, then the Solar System has a diameter of about 100,000 AU, which means it would fit 2.7 times between the Sun and the ...

Sherlock, Manchester Private Detectives and the difference between fiction and reality
So the smash hit Sherlock with Benedict Cumberbatch is back on the air, and the world has fallen in love with private detectives again. Even the World Service has got in on the act with a discussion of private detectives around the world – but the reality of life as a private investigator is both more down-to-earth and sometimes considerably more dangerous, than a TV series might suggest.
For example, a Manila-based private investigator, Ken Gamble, has allegedly been the subject of a hit contract! The person supposedly hiring the assassin is none other Peter Foster, the former associate of Cherie Blair. Apparently the private detective has located huge sums of money relating to Foster's latest dubious scheme, a failed online gambling venture that apparently went south with Foster abstracting nearly 6 million Australian dollars from the business just before it collapsed. The contract was for around £39,000 for a Philippines based hitman to shoot Mr Gamble with a £49,000 bonus if the assassination took place before Christmas, which fortunately for Mr Gamble, it didn't.
Of course it's not an everyday occurrence for a London private detective to find him or herself in the firing line, but it's relatively common, particularly in cases of industrial espionage or corporate investigation for those being investigated to realise somebody is 'on to them' and seek to find the investigator and threaten him. In such situations a private detective must be able to look after themselves and remain professional regardless of the situation.
This is why effective private detectives are extremely careful to ensure all their work is admissible evidence – many private investigations are for clients who hope to get enough material to lead to a criminal trial and that means having a perfect evidence chain, a clear understanding of judicial processes and a good reputation with law enforcement personnel. Our Corporate Investigations team have an excellent track record in securing evidence against business criminals and so far, nobody has taken out an assassination contract against any of them!
Does Val McDermid need a Manchester Private Detective?
Our Manchester office has been watching another 'fiction meets fact' detective case with some interest the past couple of weeks. Best-selling author Va McDermid has been the victim of a burglary … and because she was in the USA when it happened, the whole story unfolded on Twitter! McDermid lives Greater Manchester and many of her books – including the tales of private investigator Kate Brannigan – are based there. So when her house was broken into and her Audi stolen from the drive, it was almost like the beginning of one of her grisly novels. As she tweeted, "Luckily we seem to have had relatively neat burglars. One broken window, nothing trashed, just messy."
The Manchester privatedetective.co.uk team have not yet been asked to step in and help Ms McDermid track down the thieves, but we're big fans of her work and would always be happy to assist. Just as long as we don't end up being like her characters, many of whom suffer some pretty gruesome deaths!

Q: Oracle 11g environment Issue I have a java stored procedure loaded into Oracle 11g that reads a CLOB type.  It is  getting a null pointer exception in one oracle 11g environment and not in another. Following is the code snippet,
StringBuffer str = new StringBuffer();
String strng;
BufferedReader bufferRead = new BufferedReader(clb.getCharacterStream());
while ((strng=bufferRead .readLine())!=null)
str.append(strng);

I believe it has nothing to do with the code, because same code is not giving any error and working fine. Following is the version of oracle 11g in both the environments:
Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.1.0.7.0 - 64bit Production
PL/SQL Release 11.1.0.7.0 - Production
CORE    11.1.0.7.0  Production
TNS for Linux: Version 11.1.0.7.0 - Production
NLSRTL Version 11.1.0.7.0 - Production
Can you please guide where else can I find the root cause of this issue? Is there a way to find the loaded java class versions on the database?

Iranian Kurdish Political Prisoners Call on People to Boycott Legislative Elections
By Pooya Stone
By Pooya Stone
On February 18, the Persian edition of the Kurdistan Human Rights Network reported that 17 Iranian Kurdish political prisoners called on the Iranian people to boycott the parliamentary elections on February 21.
These political prisoners who are held in Urmia, Khoy, and Kashmar prisons signed a joint statement addressing the people across the country.
The following are parts of the statement published by the Kurdistan Human Rights Network:
"While domestic and international policies of the Islamic Republic of Iran have dealt with an impasse and [the regime] fled in the crisis of legitimacy, on the eve of the elections, it's up to the people to persuade them for voting. [The regime] truly reaches out to the people to participate in the vote and aid authorities to rescue the broken ship [of the religious fascism] without considering their historical memory."
The political prisoners also mentioned the ayatollahs' endeavors for concealing their crimes, adding, "They want us to forget the executions and not look for whereabout our loved ones have been buried. They want us to hide our torture injuries and participate in the polls with a smile. They want us to forget the blood of innocent people that were spilled in January 2018 and November 2019, as well as the name of hundreds of porters who lost their lives to make ends meet."
Notably, the Iranian government severely responded to people's peaceful protests in recent years. In late 2017, the people in many major cities such as Mashhad, Kermanshah, Tehran, Isfahan flooded the streets to protest the systematic corruption and mismanagement that brought the country to the brink of collapse.
At the time, security forces killed at least 50 protesters. Half the death toll was of protesters killed in prison under inhuman tortures, others in the public with live ammunition. Reliable reports said more than 8,000 people were detained by security forces and many of them faced severe sentences under the pretext of "illegal assembly and propaganda against the state."
In mid-November 2019, according to the minister of interior affairs' statistics, hundreds of thousands of people took to the street to demonstrate their wrath against hikes in the gasoline price. The supreme leader Ali Khamenei made public remarks and ordered his forces, including the Revolutionary Guards (IRGC), to do whatever it takes to quell protests that engulfed more than 190 Iranian cities and towns.
Then, IRGC agents took the wheel of suppression and conducted the bloodiest crackdown on the people since the establishment of the Islamic Republic regime in 1979.
As a result, the IRGC employed snipers, heavy machineguns, armored vehicles, and helicopters to suppress the nationwide protests. They murdered more than 1,500 demonstrators, injured around 7,000 people, and arrested at least 12,000 others. Lifeless bodies of disappeared protesters are still found in canals, streets' margins, rivers, etc.
In January, after three days of secrecy about the reason for the Ukrainian airliner crash, the commander of IRGC's Aerospace Force eventually admitted to the IRGC's anti-aircraft system in downing the airliner. The admission prompted the public anger against the government's crime and definite lies about the real reason for the crash.
Many students and people in solidarity with families of 176 victims of the downed plane held anti-government rallies. Security forces harshly reacted to the people's sympathy with victims' families. In response, youths tore up and torched the posters of Khamenei and the slain commander of the IRGC's Quds Force Qassem Soleimani.
In the end, 17 Iranian Kurdish political prisoners underlined the public demand for boycotting the parliamentary elections. "Boycotting the [parliamentary] elections have now become a public demand in the whole country. As usual, we boycott the elections in support of this public demand," the political prisoners ended their letter.
Signatories:
– Female political prisoner Zeynab Jalalian from Khoy city prison
– Shaker Baqi from Kashmar city prison
– Rahmi Torgut, Siamak Ashrafi, Kamran Darvishi, Bashir Pirmavaneh, Ahmad Temouei, Ebrahim Isapour, Ali Ahmad Soleiman, Saber Kamani, Peyman Mirzazadeh, Parviz Nasseri, Firouz Moussazadeh, Kamal Hassan Ramezan, Hatam Azdmir, Rahim Mahmoudi Azar, and Mohammad Mirzaei from Urmia prison

Your aim to deliver faster with better business insights can now become a reality. Read on to unlock the value of SAP.
As one of the handful Chief Architects at Capgemini and part of the European SAP Center of Excellence (CoE), I have lately been studying how IT and SAP work better when SAP is part of the overall IT Supply Chain. Among different frameworks available today and with the advent of SAP S/4HANA, in this blog I want to throw some insights into how IT4IT accelerates IT, creating a unique value chain where business demand and services are addressed in the same manner regardless of whether the request is SAP related or not. The key benefits of standardizing the IT pipeline and putting SAP through that pipeline are that you will align with modern concepts like DevOps, Agile, Cloud and the intelligent enterprise. You will also have your services (SAP and non-SAP) delivered faster and with better business insight (data transparency).
How can IT4IT help with SAP in your organization?
What IT4IT is and what it can bring to an SAP environment.
How to map the IT4IT values streams to common functions in SAP service lifecycle.
SAP Intelligent Enterprise is evolving to address market demand. SAP's recent direction of SAP C/4 HANA, SAP S/4 HANA or customer-facing Hybrid Cloud, is a paradigm shift from its past releases which forces current SAP customers to adopt agile and more cloud-based services.
SAP with Leonardo is adopting new applications/features such as Analytics, Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI).
The Open Group IT4IT standard will make it much easier to both transform SAP instances to cloud-based services in a digital enterprise and also manage the integrations to SAP better.
The IT4IT value chain and reference architecture provide the framework for faster and collaborative working, getting rid of things unique to SAP (lifecycles and supply chains), integrate with non-SAP and internal/external IT (current problem) optimization of current IT.
C-level (CIO, COO) and other decision makers over the digital transformation and IT supply chain optimization in their organization.
Customer SAP Competence Centre members who plan, implement, operate SAP Applications and IT landscape.
IT professionals who support the SAP team with Network, Storage, Compute and Cloud services.
IT professionals that interface SAP to other customers internal related systems/applications or supplier and customer or external service provider e.g. PayPal, credit check, Suppliers, Reseller, HR services, Network services, archiving services, email, etc.
Enterprise Architects either in a company or within System Integrators who design SAP IT landscapes and architectures and who coordinate the implementation across teams.
Application Services provider or infrastructure provider in the SAP space or outsourcing companies.

The Meat Animal Research Center (MARC) is a group within the United States Department of Agriculture's (USDA), Agricultural Research Service (ARS). We are responsible for developing scientific information and new technology to solve high priority problems for the U.S. beef, sheep, and swine industries. Research is directed towards problems of national concern and involves multidisciplinary teams with emphasis on both short-term and long-term solutions to improving animal production and product quality.Stress brought on by climate conditions is a problem of national concern regarding improvements toward animal production. The Heat Stress application is a tool that can help mitigate this concern. Heat Stress forecast maps are made using the seven day forecasts of four weather parameters (temperature, humidity, wind speed, and cloud cover) from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) - National Weather Service (NWS).With the use of the Heat Stress forecast maps a user can see if their animals might be in a heat stress prone area before any animals incur heat stress. Along with using the forecast maps manually, a user can create and manage up to five locations. Each location gives the user current and forecasted data that are relevant to preventing heat stress. The five locations are also able to notify the user in advance if their saved locations are prone to heat stress. Alerts are customizable by the user, allowing them to select how far out they would like to be notified and their preferred time of notification.

Assemblywoman Bichotte Pays Tribute to Haitian Boy Gunned Down in Brooklyn

NEW YORK (CMC) – A Haitian American legislator has paid tribute to a 15-year-old Haitian-boy who was shot dead Friday night in the lobby of an apartment building, where he lived with his family, on Flatbush Avenue, in Little Haiti, Brooklyn.
The police report that Samuel Joseph – a sophomore at the High School for Youth and Community Development on the Erasmus Hall campus in the Flatbush section of Brooklyn and one of eight siblings from a family of Haitian immigrants – was shot and killed in front of his sister by a hooded gunman.
"Even in his young age, Samuel Joseph was an inspiration to others in the Flatbush area, encouraging them to take up extracurricular activities to stay preoccupied and out of trouble," New York State Assemblywoman Rodneyse Bichotte, the daughter of Haitian immigrants, told the Caribbean Media Corporation Saturday night.
"When he wasn't at school or at home, he would also frequent the Flatbush YMCA to play basketball games with the other neighborhood children," added Bichotte, representative for the 42nd Assembly District in Brooklyn, including Flatbush.
"My sincerest condolences go out to Samuel Joseph's family and loved ones," continued Bichotte. "Too many bright and talented children are taken too soon. Too many families are left with trauma as a result of senseless violence."
Police said Samuel was exiting his apartment building to get something to eat from a nearby eatery, about 5:45 p.m., when the masked assailant confronted him.
He was shot in the face, head and chest, and died at a nearby hospital, police said.
Assemblywoman Bichotte said surveillance video recovered by police from adjacent businesses showed two young men stopping and speaking to one of Samuel's sisters in front of their building.
Police said no one is yet to be arrested in the case nor a clear motive for the shooting has been established.
"This was planned, but I don't know if it was the right target," said Bichotte, adding that stories like these "don't get any less heartbreaking" the more she hears about them.
She demanded that gun violence in that community end.
"Children, especially those of color, should be allowed to enjoy their childhood without fearing for their lives," Bichotte said. "My colleagues and I will be watching this story closely.
"This incident only makes us more fervent in the fight against gun violence and for the protection of children," added Bichotte, stating that, just last month, a slew of bills regulating the usage, purchase and transport of guns were signed into law in the New York Legislature.
She said these laws will go into effect later in the year.
Friends and family described Joseph as good kid, full of life and ambition. "He was just a good kid. He was not a gang member," a relative was reported by the NY Daily News as saying. "He was always laughing and had jokes."
A friend noted, "He wanted to be like (NBA star) Stephen Curry. He was a lot of fun." – CMC

You may want to check your change a little closer the next time you visit a chippy.
That is because a special 10p coin in honour of the nation's favourite dish - fish and chips - has been released by the Royal Mint.
It was released on Friday to celebrate National Fish and Chips Day, with the coins placed in tills at 17 chip shops around the UK, according to WalesOnline .
A Royal Mint spokeswoman said: "A limited number of the coins will be in tills in selected fish and chip shops.
"When customers make a cash purchase that requires change, they are likely to receive a 10p fish and chip coin in their change. This will be subject to availability, as quantities of the coins are limited."
There is, however, another way to get your hands on one of the special coins, as they are available to purchase from the Royal Mint in a range of finishes, from uncirculated to silver proof.
Fish and chips was voted as the most quintessentially British dish, according to the 52 per cent of the public.
The 10p piece, created as part of the Great British Coin Hunt, is one of a set of 26 coins showing the A to Z of what makes Britain great – from the Angel of the North to a zebra crossing.
As well as the physical coin collection, the Royal Mint has introduced the Great British Coin Hunt app, allowing coin hunters to create a digital collection of the coins they find in their change.
Users can download the app for free from the App Store or Google Play, to scan the coin with their camera, unlocking exclusive content and placing their coin into a digital folder. They can also link the app to their social media to share the treasures they find in their pockets and wallets.
The entire collection has been rolling out into circulation across the country and will be available at selected Post Offices.
A collectors' folder, and silver proof and uncirculated versions of the 10p coins are available to purchase from The Royal Mint website.


He watched from the stands as PSG opened their season on Saturday with a 2-0 win over Amiens as he awaits his worldwide transfer certificate, which is expected to be rubber-stamped this week. Neymar's debut was delayed because the league did not receive the global transfer certificate before Friday night's deadline despite the move from Barcelona seemingly being completed the previous day.
Bolt, Ottey and American Allyson Felix jointly hold the record for most career medals at the world championships with 14. After the race the 23-year-old Miller-Uibo was swiftly helped to the medical room, without stopping to explain what had happened.
They will have their brilliant moments again, as they have had for a long time . Sanchez did not play against Chelsea in the Community Shield on Saturday, and is expected to miss the Gunners' first fixture of the EPL season, against Leicester City , too.
While the League Cup is little regarded, the Europa League provided a ticket into the Champions League " and probably the signature of Lukaku. After qualified success in his maiden campaign as Manchester United manager , Jose Mourinho will hope to dust off his tried and tested second-season formula in 2017-18.
It's been healthy all year. Tanaka struck out seven and issued just one walk, but he allowed runs in the top of the first and the top of the fourth and he got no support from the Yankees' offense. If the veteran is placed on the team's DL, Jordan Montgomery the rookie southpaw who is 24 could be back up in the major this week. Tepera hit Gary Sanchez and Chase Headley with pitches, then walked Todd Frazier with one out to load the bases.
He's joined by former SC standout and Pro Bowler Jadaveon Clowney, as well as veteran linebackers Brian Cushing , Whitney Mercilous and Benardrick McKinney. Houston is also 1-5 ATS in their last six games on grass and the under is 5-2 in the Texans' last seven games on grass. And the Texans boast their owner version of McCaffrey - Tyler Ervin is an explosive play-maker who will line up all over the field.
The Major League Baseball non-waiver trade deadline has come and gone, but that doesn't mean teams are done making deals. He gives the Indians a corner outfielder and established bat to replace Michael Brantley , who went on the disabled list Monday with a sprained ankle.
St-Pierre (25-2-0) subsequently stepped away from the sport, saying his life had become "completely insane" and a "freaking zoo". White had hoped to book the fight in July, however, after St-Pierre said that he wouldn't be ready to enter the Octagon until October, the UFC president pulled the fight off the table.
Crawford went down during Tuesday's practice when his right foot became trapped under that of running back Ezekiel Elliott . He appeared to be in excruciating pain and one teammate grabbed his helmet as Crawford lay prone on the field. The importance of Crawford to the Dallas defense is the bigger issue here, though. After a short period in which the medical staff looked at Crawford, the team drills simply moved down the field a few yards before he was carted off the field.
After withdrawing from Canada, Andy Murray has added Cincinnati to his summer pull-outs due to continued issues with his hip. "I'm continuing to work hard on the court with the aim of being in NY", he said, per BBC Sports . The 30-year-old Briton has held the number one ranking since November of last year , but that may not last much longer. Top seed Nadal faces Croatia's Borna Coric in his second round tie in Montreal later on Wednesday.

Former Tennis Coach at LSU Losses Lawsuit After His Contract Isn't Renewed
by Berniard Law Firm
Everyone likes to be paid what they think they are worth at their jobs. But, sometimes employers take actions that make employees question their value and question whether or not the employer has ulterior motives. That seems to have been the thought process for the former coach of LSU's women's tennis team, and he filed a lawsuit as a result.
The plaintiff, Anthony Minnis, was the first black head coach of any sports team in LSU's history. He was hired in 1991, and by the end of his contract Minnis was earning a salary of $85,000. Throughout his tenure he had received multiple awards, despite the fact that the team he coached had only achieved a winning record in three seasons out of 20. And, in the final three years of his contract, the team had experienced three straight losing seasons. This did not stop Minnis from questioning his pay, to which LSU responded that his salary was based on the team's performance and comparable salaries for other women's tennis coaches in the Southeastern Conference. His performance reviews throughout his term of employment were mixed, and in 2008 Minnis had in fact received a written reprimand due to his job performance. His response to that reprimand was to accuse his immediate supervisor of being a racist, although he could not support that claim with any facts. Minnis' employment situation with LSU seemingly came to a head in February of 2012, when he was said to have been involved in a serious incident that jeopardized the health and safety of a team member. In June of 2012, LSU announced that the school would not renew Minnis' contract. His replacement was a white, female coach who was offered a salary of $115,000.
It did not take long for Minnis to take action. In November of 2012, he filed a lawsuit based on various state and federal claims, including claims of disparate pay, discrimination, a hostile work environment, and retaliation. These claims included, Title VII, Title IX discrimination under state law. About two years later, in October of 2014, the United States District Court for the Middle District of Louisiana granted LSU's motion for summary judgment and dismissed all of Minnis' claims. He appealed that ruling to the Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit.
In analyzing Minnis' appeal of the trial court ruling, the appellate court noted that the burden was first and foremost on Minnis to make an initial showing of the elements of the claims he was attempting to prove – known as making a "prima facie" case. This is particularly true in claims of discrimination. There was no dispute that Minnis was in a protected class as a black person, but he failed to make a prima facie case in all of the claims he brought. Not only that, but Minnis also could not rebut the non-discriminatory reasons LSU cited for deciding not to renew Minnis' contract. In terms of the disparate pay claim, the appellate court noted that the trial court found that there were no comparable workers to compare Minnis' pay with. That his replacement was set to earn $30,000 more in salary was attributed to LSU's competition in the hiring process with another school in the SEC, and the fact that the LSU team's issues were extensive and would be a quite a project to turn around, largely because of Minnis. Minnis also failed to establish any of the elements that would show that he was in a hostile work environment. Minnis' retaliation claim was a bit more solid, as he noted that he had repeatedly complained about the state of the facilities where his team was forced to practice and play. However, the appellate court noted that those complaints simply weren't enough to support a retaliation claim.
In the end, the appellate court determined that Minnis had failed to show that race or gender had anything to do with LSU's decision not to renew his contract. He had failed to meet his burden of showing a prima facie case. As a result, the appellate court affirmed the ruling of the trial court dismissing all of Minnis' claims.

Six Good Ways to Bring on the Smiles!
I mean, like….. out …. outside. Feeling the wind, smiling up at the sun, tasting the snowflakes, spreading arms and dancing around in the rain. It's fun! And smart. While we're out there – taking it all in – we might remember to thank God for the gift of being able to stand there and feel the goodness of it. My new thing is to drive up the canyon with my hubby, all the way to the top, where there's a beautiful lake. And walking path around it. It's my happy pill. Plus, I get to see moose and stuff now and then. That's cool! Noticing details is a good thing, too. Because God is in the details.
Mm hmm, I know this sounds like the same ol' thing that everyone tells us.. the doctor, the baker, the candlestick maker.. whomever. Exercise releases those endorphins that make us feel better. Sometimes, I stomp my stress away. Moving more slowly than I used to, but still with effective stomping ability. 🙂 Despite resistance, I start smiling inside. Having had a fair share of physical challenges that kept me out of the exercise loop for long periods of time, I'm happy when I'm able to exercise. Some days, it's just walking the perimeter of the backyard. I count it, though!
The Savior reminded us that the peacemakers are blessed. [I love the Beatitudes.] I have a bad habit of talking over the other person. I don't know why the words fly out before their properly appointed time. It's bothersome. And harder to acknowledge the other person's point of view when I'm not listening enough. Arrgghhh.
I'm working on it. And peace making is a lifetime job. Listening better can sometimes help to more quickly resolve a conflict. For some things in life, there may be no resolution. So, peace making is sometimes a process of coming to be at peace in myself- like picturing the most serene nature landscape; then applying it to my soul. The more I hold on to that peace inside my heart, the more smiley it feels inside. You know?
This piece of advice is old as the hills. Important advice, offering good benefits. It's easier to think through things reasonably instead of reacting emotionally when I'm rested. The world seems a more friendly place. Sometimes I have a tendency to run faster than I have strength. It's not smart to do that. More rest equals a more calm – and smiley- me. It's h a r d, sometimes. But another piece of advice that works.
5. Do something for the other guy. Or gal.
Little things matter. A lot. We get in our own way when we wait for some Big Idea in order to make a difference in the world. It's not a Go Big Or Go Home proposition. Any little tiny gift of caring matters. Here's where a smile can multiply exponentially, because we're growing our own smiles as we share them. Some of those folks who received a big smile from us? They go and share, and so on. Awesome.
I love smiling. Smiling's my favorite.
Such a simple way to do something nice! Finding our groove for doing a little something positive is a really good activity. And no keeping score! I think we enjoy the journey more when we pass along kind deeds as though they are seeds, letting them dance carefree into the current of life, while we keep walking in a positive, smiley direction.
6. Build the connection with ones you love, and those who love you.
It is as potent a counsel now as when it was first offered. The older I get – the more I ponder it, roll it around in me, and try to figure it out – the more I appreciate it. I can't love like He loves. But I can enjoy working at it, by doing little things in a better and more smiley way.
There are elements of life that work at pulling us down. Some days are darker than others…big old dark, rolling clouds and hurricane strength winds. But even the happy ones are better when we figure out ways to bring on the smiles.
Life isn't simple. Just ask – anyone. But to figure out a few ways to smile more – that's simple and good.
1. Play with your grandchildren. Grandchildren were made to make grumpy old men smile.
2. Pet you dog (or cat) is calming, comforting, lowers heart rates, and usually always brings smiles.
Thanks again for another cheerful article!

Handbook for Nonviolent Campaigns release in Mexico
20 Mar 2015 — Andrew
On March 25th 2015, in Casa Museo de la Memoria Indomita, Mexico City, two peace activists closely connected to WRI (Igor Seke from Serbia/Mexico and Julian Ovalle from Colombia) will present the 2nd edition of WRI's Handbook for Nonviolent Campaigns. They will also talk about the CO as a way to resist war in Colombia, and how the international solidarity with conscientious objectors works in that country. The host of this event is Comité Eureka! from Mexico, which works on cases of forced disappearances for over 40 years.
This event coincides with the crowdfunder campaign for the Spanish translation of the second edition of the Handbook; WRI is raising money to complete the translation - there are just nine days left to go! See https://goteo.org/project/campanas-noviolentas for more information.

Q: Can a Rust macro set a variable and return a value at the same time? I want to create a macro which will take as parameters ($var:ident, $val:expr). The macro should set the variable $var to the value of $val, clone it, and then return the clone. This is my attempt:
macro_rules! my_macro {
    ($var:ident, $val:expr) => {{
        let $var = $val;
        $var.clone()
    }}
}

fn main() {
    println!("{}", my_macro!(x, 5));
    println!("{}", x);
}

It doesn't work because the let statement is inside a block. If I try to solve the problem by changing {{ to {, then it produces a syntax error. Is there any way to solve this?

A: No.
Macros aren't magic, they just expand to a single expression/statement/item you could otherwise write yourself.  There is no way to write a variable declaration that "escapes" the scope it's defined in.

A: here is one way you can do this...
    #[macro_export]
    macro_rules! create_var {
        ($name:ident, $val:expr) => {
            let $name = $val;
        }
    }

    fn main() {
        create_var!(test, 42);
        println!("{}",test);
    }

Output:
    42

A: This is not possible because Rust has hygienic macros, as documented here.
Macro hygiene cannot be disabled currently, but it may become possible in Macros 2.0:

[ ] Implement "hygiene bending" for when users want a name from macro def to "escape".

Why Are Center and Periphery Separated?
The distinction of center/periphery is based on the stratified structure of ancient cities, where the Court or a temple is located in the center, residencies of bureaucrats or noblemen in the semi-periphery and merchants, craftsmen or farmers in the periphery. But sociologists usually use it non-geographically as the dichotomy that indicates the uneven distribution of capital as power in social systems.
1.The difference between center/periphery and essential/inessential
1.1.Essence in not always center.
1.2.Center is not always essence
2.Selectors are selected
3.The structure of differentiation
1. The difference between center/periphery and essential/inessential
The sociological distinction of center/periphery is different from the philosophical distinction of essential/inessential (accidental) for the following reasons.
1.1. Essence in not always center.
In our body systems, brains are essential, while nails or hairs are inessential. Unlike the latter, the former is so essential that a body system cannot survive without it. But you cannot say a brain is the center and nails and hairs belong to the periphery of a body system, because the body system is different from the social system, where self-conscious agents, namely subsystems that can represent the height of capital as power select one another.
1.2. Center is not always essence
On the other hand, the privileged parasite classes in l'Ancient Regime before the French Revolution was the center to the periphery as the third estate, because they had high capital. However, they were not essential, as the social system could survive or better survive without those classes.
2. Selectors are selected
A social system reduces the indeterminacy of interdependent selection and individuals make themselves the selected being through selecting one another.
To give an example of applicants for admission to colleges, they set an criterion for selection, whose priority order forms the relation of center/periphery; the first choice is A college, the second is B, the third is C and so on. Although they think they just follow the established ranking, it is their decision which to enter, when they succeed in passing more than one college entrance examination, that decides the ranking. There is an autopoietic reflection between them.
Suppose an applicant turns out to fail to pass the examination of A College and succeed in passing the examination of B College. Then, he might say, "To tell the truth, I did not want to go to A College. B College is better than A." It is ressentiment. Although the desire of applicants decides the ranking of colleges, they decide the ranking of themselves through the very desire.
3. The structure of differentiation
The center(core)/periphery differentiation in the global economy. Source: A world map of countries by trading status, late 20th century.
Many social thinkers have considered the equal society as an ideal from ancient times. However, as long as people wish for the freedom of selection and try to satisfy the desire for difference, the center/periphery structure does not disappear. Though the information revolution has transformed the hierarchical society into the network society, it does not correct the maldistribution of capital as power. Rather, the gap between the rich and the poor has become still larger. The spatial metaphor to describe the stratification of the hierarchical society was top/bottom, while center/periphery is a metaphor more appropriate to describe that of the network society.

A social system is not just a gathering of people. It does not consist in the interaction between people either. You can find a mere causal interaction between things.

Hats Off to Your Cubanity!
My friends at Habana Brand Clothing are always coming up with new and wonderful ways for us Cubans – and Lovers of All Things Cuban – to express ourselves and the pride we feel over our culture.
They love the many options that Habana Brand provides for them to do just that.
I've known Roly and Lucy for years and am always delighted when they come up with a new design. Very recently, they designed the coolest hats. They have a grunge/vintage vibe that's been irresistible to my family. One says Cuba and comes in a variety of colors. My favorite is the red, but that's not important right now.
In fact, they loved these hats so much, they made this quick video. Watch. And love.
The song in the video. "Yo Volvere" is an original from our friend, Rolando Vega and used by permission.
Today's giveaway is sponsored by our dear friends at Habana Brand Clothing.
Two lucky readers will each win one Habana Brand cap of their choice, in the color of their choice.
I'll be choosing 2 winners on Friday, November 18th, 2016. You have until then to enter.

SABC Censorship: ANC firmly against any form of censorship at the SABC
The National Working Committee (NWC) of the African National Congress (ANC) on Tuesday said that it stands firmly against the SABC's new editorial policy that has resulted in many criticizing it as amounting to censorship.
In a statement, following its meeting on Monday, the ANC NWC said that the Media Charter of the ANC (Ready to Govern, 1992) affirms the fundamental principle that the ANC will create an open society characterized by the free flow of information and culture of open debate within the context of a democratic constitution and a Bill of Rights.
"It further identifies that at the core of democracy lies the recognition of the rights of all citizens to partake in society decision-making progress, requiring that individuals are armed with necessary information - 'an ignorant society cannot be democratic' and that 'there shall be no institutional or legislative measures restricting the free flow of information or imposing censorship over the media'," reads the statement.
"The ANC Media Charter further protects media workers against intimidation and other forms of pressure which inhibit their work.
"This has formed and remains the principle of the ANC's policy on press freedom and the right all our people have to access information. Successive conferences of the ANC have reaffirmed this position and amongst others resolutions of the ANC was a call to increase in local content across all SABC stations. The current debate is not about the 90% local content, local content is a policy position of the ANC and we fully support its implementation."
It said that the 53rd National Conference identified a "series of crises at the public broadcaster that reflect a lack of leadership, lack of accountability and poor management" with the National General Council (NGC) held in 2015 noting a "public broadcasting system beset by many structural, managerial and funding problems that needs to be restructured and repositioned to prioritize public service".
"It is against this background that the National Working Committee received a report from an earlier meeting of the Communications Sub-Committee on recent developments at the SABC.
"The NWC reaffirmed the correctness of the Communications Sub-Committee position against any form of censorship being imposed at the SABC," the ANC NWC said.
"It further welcomed the ruling by the Independent Communications Authority of South Africa (ICASA). Matters relating to the corporate governance challenges in the institution and the high turnover of CEO's amongst others, will be receiving urgent attention. The ANC Parliamentary Caucus is also expected to give the SABC the requisite attention.
"The ANC is calling on all our structures to desist making any further comments on matters relating to the SABC."
'Nobody can change things at the SABC'
It remains to be seen how the SABC will respond after its Chief Operations Officer, Hlaudi Motsoeneng, on Monday afternoon reiterated that nobody, including ICASA, would change the SABC's position on the matter and that the 'censorship' at the broadcaster was just 'hullabaloo'.
ICASA had on Monday ordered the SABC to reverse its new editorial policy.

Because electricity is such a part of our day-to-day lives, we tend to forget it's even there. It silently powers all of our appliances, computers, lights, and more, so when an electrical issue arises, it can have far-reaching effects. Some homeowners will be tempted to figure out an electrical problem themselves—or even attempt electrical installations, such as ceiling fans and power outlets—to save time and money. However, it's important to remember that anything related to electrical repair or installation should be handled by a licensed professional and not an amateur. The risk of bodily harm, not to mention the dangers of improperly repaired or installed electrical devices, is too great. Instead of taking risks, homeowners in the Old Line State should call a Maryland electrical contractor.
EBSCO Research conducted thousands of interviews with Maryland homeowners to find the best electricians, the ones worthy of being Best Pick™ companies. Companies can't buy their way into being a Best Pick™ company. Best Pick™ electricians in the Maryland area have the expertise homeowners need, from repairs to installations to new construction consults. A qualified electrician can also answer questions about how to increase a home's energy efficiency, a safe and risk-free way a homeowner can save money.


Interactions between humans and wildlife are increasing in Europe. Today there is growing public and political pressure to ensure that management approaches result in sustainable and resilient wildlife populations in the face of environmental change. Europe's key challenges here lie in developing new and improved wildlife management strategies based on sound science, fully utilizing and integrating the capacity of the network members in the humanities, natural and social sciences of wildlife, and the interactions those fields of expertise have with society nationally and internationally. Sweden being no exception to this.
In GOVERNANCE we study (1) the individual, socio-cultural and political-institutional dimensions of wildlife management (2) the adaptive multi-species management capacity to manage current and future challenges, and 3) the conditions for knowledge-building and skills development in the future of wildlife management. GOVERNANCE develops the ecosystem based and adaptive moose management system in order to include other ungulates and large predators. Our analyses of individual, socio-cultural and political-institutional dimensions are based on environmental psychology, social anthropology and political science theories and are implemented in close cooperation with the ecological perspective in the projects BEYOND MOOSE. We use quantitative and qualitative research methods to achieve both breadth and depth in our empirical studies. GOVERNANCE covers 3 + 3 years and works on the basis of five key concepts to study what it takes for a legitimate and sustainable wildlife management: trust, representation, knowledge spheres, communication and leadership.
GOVERNANCE responds to the need to achieve acceptance and tolerance both for individual species and the ecosystems/landscapes that the adaptive wildlife management should deal with. GOVERNANCE provides deeper applicable knowledge about how the current management system can handle increasing populations of both ungulates and carnivores in the country.
Sustainable rural development - for or by the people?
Conflicts over natural resources management are common. In this project we study if the partnership between public and private actors reduces conflicts and helps to create conditions for sustainable rural development.
Partnerships between public and private actors are used increasingly in order to manage natural resources. It may involve conservation sites, national parks, predators, moose, or fish. Partnerships can be a part of the state administration but also provide the framework for example leaders. We analyze the establishment of these partnerships, on whose terms they established and what they contribute in terms of conflict management and rural development. The project contributes to new knowledge on methods for sustainable management of natural resources.
On behalf of the Swedish government and in connection with the introduction of a new moose management system in 2012, the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU) has developed training material tailored for members of the county administrative boards appointed wildlife management delegations (VFD) and moose management groups for individual moose management areas (ÄFO).
This project is part of the research initiative A Magnificent Mountain Landscape which will provide more knowledge for sustainable development and future management of the Swedish mountains. The research initiative aims at encouraging a holistic view of the mountain landscape and is based on close collaboration with the mountain stakeholders.
Our goal with the grant from the Swedish EPA was to lay the foundations for a longitudinal study to gradually accumulate knowledge about changing attitudes and values in Sweden. The work builds on a completed study within the research program Mountain Mistra in 2004. Empirical studies conducted in a similar manner and with proven tools such as attitudes surveys constitute an important source of knowledge about both the general public's attitudes and values among those differently affected directly or indirectly by large carnivore management. Our survey methodology is based both on a national sample, and on a sample of citizens in cities and counties with large carnivore populations. We use the national sample, a representative sample of the Swedish population, to analyze how widely different values and attitudes is distributed in society, and how fast they change. The individual impact that an attitude survey represents may thus be placed in a longer-term perspective, which means that we can better understand the present in the light of developments in this area in the longer term. An important conclusion from our studies is that people make a distinction between the presence of large carnivores and attitudes to policies and different management actions. This means that the large carnivore issue is not only about the presence of large carnivores in Sweden, but rather on how many they are and how they can be managed effectively. Here we note a change in attitudes to policy over time by direct and indirect experience of the presence of wolves and bears. Thus there is a relationship between changes in the ecological system and the social system.
From an international perspective, the Swedish carnivore policy and administration can be seen as successful. From being virtually extinct, several species of large carnivores now recovered and others are well on track. However with rising carnivore numbers also conflicts of interests grow. Carnivore policy and management can thus no longer focus solely on issues concerning the conservation of large carnivores, but must increasingly consider questions of management. This creates a need to find new tools to effectively manage the increasing fear of large carnivores and the conflicts between different groups on different levels of society. Today's challenge for politics and administration differs from yesterdays and places new demands on research as well as policy and management. To meet this challenge we require new knowledge on the interaction between society and nature, effective and legitimate governance, and social aspects of management. To meet this demand, social science and interdisciplinary research in social sciences increased significantly over the past decade. The purpose of this conference is to gather, mostly social scientists from different disciplines and universities in Sweden, to synthesize the current social science research on large carnivores. The conference discusses and presents researchers with both theoretical and empirical aspects of the management of large carnivores. Thematic research can be divided into a theme related to attitudes towards predators and management measures as well as in a theme related to participation in management. The studies include individual cases and studies that are more quantitatively oriented. The result of the conference is a special issue in Wildlife Biology (LINK).
Sweden's mountain region has low biodiversity and is vulnerable to overexploitation. The land is used in numerous ways, by many stakeholders with interests that sometimes conflict. It is used by reindeer owners for winter grazing, by forest owners, for tourism, and by the local population for hunting and fishing. Should land be allocated for the mining industry, or should it be a national park? What are people's attitudes towards predators? How should the various interests be balanced for long-term development of the mountain region? The Mountain Mistra Programme (MMP) created a knowledge base for a common view of resource conservation.
As part of the MMP we enhanced knowledge of stakeholder attitudes. For example, a major questionnaire with more than 100 questions, ranging from views on national parks to frequency of eating game meat, was sent to 12,000 people. An extensive network organisation was created to bring together the various stakeholders in the region: forest owners, Sami villagers, the Swedish Touring Club, Swedish Forest Agency, county administrative boards and more. Annual conferences on mountain research were held in such places as Gällivare, Luleå and Vilhelmina. Several surveys were conducted, on subjects including winter grazing access, national parks and local influence. The programme also compiled inventories of small game on state-owned land.
In the project we aimed to integrate ecological and sociological methodology to develop a novel approach that can support in human-related conflicts when species re-colonize. We assessed human attitudes in the core distribution areas, along the perimeter and in predicted expansion areas for the four large carnivores using standard mail survey technique. The survey instrument consisted of sections about attitudes towards and willingness to pay for reaching the Swedish conservation goals for wolves, lynx, bears, wolverines, general attitude objects and questions about background variables. We found that both the attitudes as well as the behavioral intention willingness to pay (WTP) was negatively related to the presence of larges carnivores with presence of wolves the key driving forces, to the urban profile and to the opposition against the European Union Monetary Union.


Leverkusen, 18 January 2018. The Knorr SN7 brake is one of the most successful commercial vehicle disc brake systems. TTMD Friction, as a market-leading brake friction manufacturer, is one of Knorr-Bremse's development partners and has therefore been involved from the start.
The Knorr SN7 caliper was modified to create the SN7 HP caliper for Scania vehicles from 1st January 2016. Under the aftermarket brand Textar, TMD Friction, an approved OE supplier for Scania applications, is now following this changeover 100 percent with an exclusively available pad.
Previous Textar brake pads with WVA no. 29278 can no longer be used in the modified caliper. The pad contour of the Textar brake pads has been adapted for the updated SN7 HP caliper. These pads are clearly identifiable by the recesses on the bottom left and right, and are available under WVA no. 29331. Previous products no longer fit the new caliper, but the design is backwards compatible, allowing the new brake pad to be used in older versions of the caliper.
Just like its predecessor, the new brake pad from Textar is supplied exclusively with ProTecS® retaining springs and therefore corresponds to the standard of original equipment.
Direct connectivity between the brake pad and spring ensures reliable adjustment of the spring force, and therefore optimum brake pad guidance. The spring design extends the life of the pad especially in rough driving conditions. Besides this, the welded retaining clip acts like a sliding shoe, providing good protection against spring and stirrup abrasion due to dirt. The pad also slides back out of contact with the disc more easily, reducing idle wear.
"Our ambition is to provide optimum service for our clients in the spare parts market. This also includes promptly responding to technical changes so that we can offer the right product in the Textar range as quickly as possible, which is something we did successfully with the new brake pad for the SN7 HP caliper. Textar is the sole supplier of this special brake pad, so our aftermarket clients can directly benefit from our position as a leading OE brake friction manufacturer," explains Jan Zimmermann, Category Manager CV.
Caption: Recesses have been added to the outside edges of the new brake pad for the SN7 HP caliper (see right).

On Friday 19 May, five students from Tonbridge Grammar School from Year 7 and 8 attended the Inaugural Inter-Schools Bridge Tournament at Weald Community Primary School. The traditional image of a bridge game of ladies in twinsets and pearls sitting around the kitchen table could not have been further from the truth. For this inaugural event the emphasis for the young people was on keen strategy, mental stimulation as well as being fun and bringing benefits back into the curriculum.
Sofia and Minna won trophies for being Winners of the Secondary School Section and they were also overall winners of the Tournament as well. Prizes were awarded by Helen Erichsen, an English Bridge Champion.
