Rachel Maddow Broke Down In Tears While Trying To Report On "Tender Age" Shelters For Immigrant Babies
The MSNBC host started to choke up while covering news about shelters in Texas where the youngest children forcibly removed from their parents at the US–Mexico border are taken.

Rachel Maddow choked up while covering news that the Trump administration has been sending babies separated from their parents at the US–Mexico border to at least three "tender age" shelters in South Texas.

Rachel Maddow chokes up and cries on air as she struggles to deliver news that migrant babies and toddlers have been sent to "tender age" shelters https://t.co/O6crm8cvyR
02:06 AM - 20 Jun 2018
As Maddow's show aired on MSNBC, the Associated Press published a report about shelters in Texas where the youngest children forcibly removed from their parents at the border are taken. It appeared the host was learning about the news as she read it on the air, pausing before beginning to say "this is incredible."
"Trump administration officials have been sending babies and other young children," Maddow said before stopping to take an extended pause as she seemed to hold back tears.
She then asked someone off-camera to "put up the graphic of this." When nothing appeared, however, she tried to continue reading the story.
Maddow got through another sentence, before pausing again and saying, "I think I'm gonna have to hand this off."
"Sorry. That's [it] for tonight; we'll see you again tomorrow, but it is time for The Last Word With Lawrence O'Donnell, where he is live in Brownsville, Texas," she said, waving off the camera as O'Donnell appeared in split screen.
The news about the "tender age" shelters comes amid increased focus on the US–Mexico border because of the Trump administration's "zero tolerance" policy on immigration, which has led to a spike in separations of undocumented adults and their children at the US–Mexico border.
Since the government announced its plans, an estimated 2,300 children have been separated from their parents, and many of them are now under government care.
The AP story detailed how doctors and lawyers who had visited the three shelters described crying young children in chaos. The federal government stopped using orphanages decades ago, because of concerns that they have lasting effects on children, but is now housing Central American children in similar facilities, it said.
An official with the Department of Health and Human Services defended the facilities and said they are staffed by people who know how to help children.
"The shelters aren't the problem; it's taking kids from their parents that's the problem," a South Texas pediatrician who had visited the shelters told the AP.
After the show, Maddow apologized to viewers on Twitter for choking up on the air, and shared the story she had been attempting to report.
Rachel Maddow MSNBC @maddow
Ugh, I'm sorry. If nothing else, it is my job to actually be able to speak while I'm on TV. What I was trying to do -- when I suddenly couldn't say/do anything -- was read this lede: 1/6
In a Twitter thread, she shared additional details from the story, and ended with another apology to viewers.
"Not the way I intended that to go," she said. "Not by a mile."

After collaborating of two Japanese automakers on building a new sports vehicle, Toyota unveiled the FT-86 Concept car at the 2009 Tokyo Motor Show, but Subaru's interpretation is still under wraps.
The engine which was previously speculated to be a 2.0-litre turbo warrior making about 118kW (160hp). Indeed it is the revised 2.0-litre turbo from moreover the Impreza 2.0 GT or the WRX STI. However, energy is rumoured to be around 184kW (250hp) with a probable STI type making 227kW (308hp).
Toyota and Subaru have been collaborating on a jointly developed sport coupe model. Previously, we have seen some renderings and first information of this sports car and now, we get a preview of the FT-86 Concept, which will be debut at the 2009 Tokyo Motor Show.
The sport vehicle's dimensions are honestly compact with a length of 4,16 meters and a height of 1,26 m (width and wheelbase are 1,76 and 2,57 meters, respectively) and a low midpoint of gravity. The FT-86 was formed by Toyota's Europe Design Development and it's objective was to alter a car with a "functional function" target theme.
Subaru has unveiled the new Legacy Concept car at the 2009 North American International Auto Show in Detroit. It shows very much what the next-gen Legacy is ready to look like.
The new Legacy viewed is integral with a 3.6-litre fighter engine that drives all four wheels gratitude to Subaru's patented AWD system. Its lED headlights enhanced appearance, a bold fascia and bolder shape. The car is painted in a high comment Ultimate Silver paint colour. Subaru has finished more expensive with the Legacy and solitary a lot of the traditional Japanese outline in favour of cleaner, more European object cues.

Metropolitan Hilarion: Constantinople is no longer the leader of the world Orthodoxy
In Defense of the Unity of the Russian Church, Addresses and Comments, interview, Inter-Orthodox relations, News, DECR Chairman
Metropolitan Hilarion of Volokolamsk, head of the Moscow Patriarchate department for external church relations, gave an interview to TASS news agency.
– Your Eminence, the other day the Holy Synod of the Russian Orthodox Church made a decision to discontinue the Eucharistic communion with the Patriarchate of Constantinople. How will his decision affect church life in our country and the life of the world Orthodoxy as a whole?
– The daily church life of parishioners of churches in Russia will not be affected in any way: divine service are celebrated, people make confession and take communion and live a full-flegded church life.
As for the situation in the world Orthodoxy, the actions of the Patriarchate of Constantinople to recognize the schismatics in Ukraine, to invade somebody else's canonical territory and to state its right to cancel decisions made by other Churches have completely changed the pattern of cooperation which took shape in the 20th century. The Patriarch of Constantinople, who has positioned himself as the coordinator of common Orthodox activity, can no longer be such a coordinator for an obvious reason. He has self-distructed as the coordinating center for canonical Churches by having opted for schismatics and having fully associated himself with them.
– Have any alternative responses been considered to the essentially non-canonical decisions of Constantinople?
– I would like to draw your attention to the fact that, though Constantinople used to make unfriendly steps towards the Moscow Patriarchate for quite a long time, to which we had to react, at each stage we would still leave an opportunity for them to think twice and review their decisions. However, the decisions of the Patriarchate of Constantinople Synod published on October 11, which 'revoked' the decision adopted over 300 years ago to transfer the Metropolis of Kiev to the jurisdiction of the Moscow Patriarchate, admitted to communion the leaders of the schism in Ukraine and stated its readiness to realize the project for 'Ukrainian autocephaly', regrettably has not left us with any arguments against a breakup of relations.
– How correctly is it to speak of a new schism in the world Orthodoxy in the context of the recent events?
– Nearly a thousand years ago, the ungrounded claims of one of the Primates to the sole right to power in the Church already led to a large-scale schism. Now this dangerous path has been taken by the Patriarchate of Constantinople. And already now we have to ascertain with bitterness the existence of a division that does not allow speaking of the 300-million-strong community of the Orthodox Christians as a one whole. The Patriarchate of Constantinople, having recognized schismatics and entered into communion with them has itself departed into schism.
Moreover, the stated plans 'to grant autocephaly' mean nothing else but the making out of the schismatics a parallel structure in Ukraine bypassing the already existing canonical Church, which is expressly prohibited by holy canons – the laws on which church life is built. It is a decision, as made in defiance of the opinion of the Moscow Patriarchate and ignoring the calls of other Local Church to discuss the existing problems in council, which will have far-reaching negative consequences.
The Synod of the Russian Orthodox Church called upon the Primates and Holy Synods of the Local Orthodox Churches on August 15 to make an appropriate assessment of the anti-canonical actions of the Patriarchate of Constantinople and to 'search together for ways of coming out of the gravest crisis tearing apart the body of the One Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church'.
– Many disputes have been provoked by Phanar's decision to revoke the 1686 decision to transfer the Metropolis of Kiev to the Moscow Patriarchate. How far does this decision correspond to the historical truth?
– Imagine that you have a house in which your ancestors have lived for three hundred years and today your children live in it. It is your family property but three thousand years ago it was handed over to your family by some other family. And now a certain descendent of those grantors appears and says that it was, as it turns out, not a gift but this house with the land was simply leased to your family for a time being. And it does not matter that the house was three times smaller, the adjacent territory has become five times bigger, and many generations of your ancestors lived there and cultivated the land. Now another master appears and cancels out all this history and requires that you and your children should move out. What is it but a lawless act and robbery? Would you admit such claims as lawful?
The Statement of the Holy Synod of the Russian Orthodox Church considers this topic in detail and underscores the canonical invalidity of the resolution 'to revoke' the decision in the 1686 document signed by Patriarch Dionysios IV of Constantinople and the Synod of the Church of Constantinople confirming that the Metropolis of Kiev was to stay in the Moscow Patriarchate as its part.
The canons of the Orthodox Church do not allow of a possibility for reviewing the established church borders that have not been challenged for a long time. Why has Constantinople not challenged this decision for over 300 years but now, in so ambiguous political conditions, has suddenly decided to put under his control the Orthodox people in Ukraine, including those in the regions that did not belong to the Metropolis of Kiev three centuries ago? Indeed, at that time the Metropolis of Kiev extended its pastoral responsibility to a territory much smaller than the present domain of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church. But Constantinople prefers to ignore the history of the development of church life for the considerable past time and to pay no attention to the opinion of the canonical Ukrainian Church, her Primate, His Holiness Metropolitan Onufry, and her hierarchs.
I will remind you once again: the 1686 Synodal Charter and other documents accompanying it do not state anything about a temporary nature of the transfer of the Metropolis of Kiev to the jurisdiction of the Moscow Patriarchate, nor about a possibility for revoking this act. Moreover, it should be taken into account that the 1686 decision did not spring from nowhere: it became an end of the two hundred year's period of a forced division in the ages-long history of the Russian Church, which, despite changing political circumstances, invariably was aware of herself as a one whole. Precisely for this reason our Synod in its statements affirmed: 'The present action of the Patriarchate of Constantinople is an attempt to highjack what has never belonged to it'.
– A pressing question asked by many Russian believers: Does the decision to discontinue the Eucharistic communion with Constantinople mean a ban for visiting churches of the Patriarchate of Constantinople, in particular, those on Mount Athos so popular among our pilgrims? Can our pilgrims put candles in Athonite churches?
– Those who wish can go to Holy Mountain to visit Athonite monasteries. But to participate in Sacraments – confession and communion – is what the faithful of the Russian Orthodox Church should not do there since the Eucharistic communion with the Patriarchate of Constantinople with its jurisdiction over the monasteries on Mount Athos has been severed because of its non-canonical, and I would say straight, brigand's actions.
At the same time, I would like remind believers: one can pray to God and seek to save one's soul not only on Athos. 'Salvation does not come from a place', says St. Theophanes the Recluse. Perhaps, the present circumstances will encourage some to make a pilgrimage to 'Northern Athos' – in the monasteries of Valamo or Solovki or other holy places in our land – to come to the knowledge of the Russian monastic tradition, to take part in the Liturgy, to make confession and partake of Christ's Holy Gifts in these churches and monasteries.
– How does the Russian Church plan to solve the problem of pastoral care for compatriots residing in the territory of the Patriarchate of Constantinople?
– Our faithful who live outside the canonical territory of the Russian Orthodox Church, have visited parishes of the Patriarchate of Constantinople almost throughout the world. But in most countries there are churches of other Local Churches too, so they have an alternative. More difficult is the situation of our compatriots in the territory of Turkey and on Rhodes, Crete and other Greek islands of the Dodekanese in the Aegean See. After the Patriarchate of Constantinople has identified itself with schismatics and thus proved itself to be in schism, they have been left without pastoral care. This problem stands very acutely on the agenda. We have already received letters from the faithful who ask: What are we to do? Let us think how to solve this new problem.
– Can it be expected that other Local Orthodox Churches will support our position and discontinue the Eucharistic communion with Constantinople as well?
– I do not think it would be right to predict the decisions of Local Orthodox Church. We will inform them about our decision and reasons that have forced us to make it.
It can be stated that as for today there have be no statements by other Local Churches expressing their support for the anti-canonical steps of the Patriarchate of Constantinople. On the other hand, in a recent talk with the mass media the Patriarch of Serbia said that Patriarch Bartholomew made a decision that he had to right to make and this may involve catastrophic consequences. Even before Constantinople's decision on admitting the schismatics into communion in Ukraine and on establishing 'stauropegions' in the canonical territory of the Moscow Patriarchate, there were proposal voiced by various Churches that the existing problems should be discussed at the pan-Orthodox level. Regrettably, these proposals were not heard by Patriarch Bartholomew.
– Commenting on the decision of the Holy Synod, the Ukrainian President Petr Poroshenko stated that the Russian Orthodox Church would found herself in isolation. How far does this prediction correspond to reality?
– It is a high-flown utterance, but let us look how adequate it is as a reflection of the present situation. By its actions Constantinople itself has placed itself outside the canonical space – which was noted with regret in the decision of the Holy Synod of the Russian Orthodox Church on October 15.
The Patriarch of Constantinople is sometimes called the spiritual leader of the 300 million Orthodox believers on the globe. Now no less than a half of this number – the faithful of the Moscow Patriarchate are not in the Eucharistic communion with him at all. What kind of a pan-Orthodox leader is he after that? As for other Local Orthodox Churches, then, as I have already said, so far none of the Local Churches has openly supported Constantinople.
– Patriarchate Bartholomew has decided to begin the process of granting autocephaly in Ukraine. Does it mean that in Russia there may appear churches and parishes of the so-called 'Kiev Patriarchate'?
– There have been structures of the schismatic 'Kiev Patriarchate' in the territory of Russia for already a long time. Moreover, in May 2017, the schismatics decided to establish a certain 'Russian Exarchate'. I do not think it will be productive to reflect on how the status of these structures may change in connection with particular steps of Constantinople. Schismatics remain schismatic if they do not repent of their action and return to the Church from which they departed.
– What advice do you give to the faithful of the canonical Ukrainian Church who do not accept Constantinople's decisions? What do you think, how long may take the healing of the new crisis in the Orthodox world?
– I would like to call the Orthodox faithful in Ukraine to stay faithful to the canonical Church and to do everything to support His Beatitude Metropolitan Onufry of Kiev and All Ukraine in spite of any threats and provocations from whatever side, in spite of promises and appeals of the schismatics and those representatives of the authorities who, for their own political interests, have embarked on the path of interference in the affairs of the Church. Let us remember that our Church, also in the Ukrainian land, in various ages did withstand many trials with dignity. Even during the atheistic persecution in the 20th century, atheists tried to destroy the Church but the Church held out.
As for the crisis provoked by Constantinople in the inter-Orthodox relations, I would certainly hope that reason will prevail and the Patriarchate of Constantinople will withhold from further actions on the pernicious path of division. It do not think it is right to conjecture how it might happen and at what time. Meanwhile, regrettably, the latest events point to a reverse tendency. We have heard not once from representatives of Constantinople: 'We are not going to heal the schism by creating a new schism'. But now it is precisely what is happening.

Samsung is pulling another Amazon on Android, but this is even bigger
Kevin C. Tofel Oct 28, 2013 (Jun 9, 2020) -- Blog Post
As much as Google likes and touts that Android is open, that freedom may come with the cost of some control over the platform. Amazon(s amzn) may have started the first truly successful "fork" of Android, but Samsung is going after the whole place setting.
Samsung kicked off its first Developers Conference on Monday and based on the keynote message, I wouldn't be too happy if I were Google(s goog). This is no small effort from Samsung, which sells the most Android devices by a large margin compared to its peers. An announced 1,300 event attendees are on site in San Francisco and heard that Samsung is releasing five new SDKs for various devices ranging from phones to tablets to televisions.
To give an idea of what Samsung is doing, just look at the new Mobile SDK: It supports Samsung's pen, gestures, multiwindow and motion features with 800 APIs available to developers. If that number doesn't grab you consider what Samsung said about opportunities for developers. Simply by adding the digital pen to a phone in the first and subsequent Galaxy Note handsets, more 1,800 pen-enabled apps were created. And the company sells two televisions every second. Clearly, Samsung is trying to entice developer attention for its platform.
Wait, isn't Samsung's platform Android? Absolutely! Samsung has effectively built an individual, closed environment of apps and features on top of the open Android. Amazon(s amzn) has done much the same with its Fire OS on Kindle Fire tablets but the approach was a little different.
Amazon didn't start out with Google Android, but instead used the Android Open Source Project — software without core Google apps and services — for the Kindle Fire. In contrast, Samsung used the full Google Android software to build up a huge global audience and now it's going to make sure it, not Google, owns those customers. I barely heard Android mentioned in the keynote, in fact.
Samsung's approach doesn't just end with its popular phones and tablets though.
As my colleague Janko Roettgers reported earlier, Samsung's new Multiscreen SDK applies to another Samsung product — televisions:
"The new SDK, once adopted by developers, will make it possible to press a button on your phone to launch an online video stream, or even a game, on your TV. Sound familiar? That's not really a coincidence — but Samsung thinks that it can one-up its competition."
That last phrase is central to what I heard during the Samsung Developer Conference Keynote. Samsung has clearly become successful and profitable by pushing Android devices as well as adding its own add-on features and functions. That's clearly not good enough for the company now because Android by itself can only take it so far and doesn't give Samsung total control over its own destiny. In addition to the above mentioned SDK's, Samsung also offered ones for Multiscreen Gaming, Smart TVs and KNOX, the company's enterprise grade security software.
At this point, Samsung is taking advantage of its dominant position as the Android device leader to become the "de facto" Android phone and crush any remaining competition. And I'm not sure what Google can do about it save for pulling more and more key functions out of the Android software and instead make them standalone apps in the Google Play store. Even if it does, the damage is already done from where I stand: Samsung has built its mobile business on Android and can now push forward with less "help" from Google.
As long as Samsung remains a helpful partner in the Android ecosystem and properly licenses Google apps and services for devices, it's not as if Google can wrest Android away from Samsung. And Google has zero control over the extra features that Samsung has added to devices such as digital inking with the S-Pen, S-Voice for text input, Samsung Wallet for payments and gesture-based navigation using sensors.
The overall strategy Samsung has employed so far is clever: Build up a massive global audience for products using someone else's software while also creating your own apps to start taking the place of integral Android features across smartphones, tablets, televisions and even smartwatches. Thanks to Android, Samsung hasn't needed to develop an operating system of its own. Why should it when it can slowly transition developers and users to create software for its own hardware?

Tara târ´ə [key], village, Co. Meath, E Republic of Ireland. The Hill of Tara (507 ft/155 m high) was the seat of the high kings of Ireland from ancient times until the 6th cent. and may have been the site of religious ceremonies in prehistoric times. A statue of St. Patrick, who preached there, is supposed to mark the location of the Lia Fail, the Coronation Stone of the ancient high kings (see under coronation). There are six raths (earthwork enclosures), the largest of which is 850 ft (259 m) in diameter. The hill was the scene of the defeat of the Danes in 980 and, some believe, the Irish insurgents in 1798, and of a mass meeting in 1843 addressed by Daniel O'Connell; hence its importance as a symbol of Irish nationalism.

Q: Maximal set with respect to the finite intersection property Let $X$ be a Hausdorff space. Let $\mathcal{D}$ be a collection of subsets of $X$ that is maximal with respect to the finite intersection property. That means that $\mathcal{D}$ is a family of subsets of $X$ that has the finite intersection property such that any other family properly containing $\mathcal{D}$ does not have the finite intersection property. I would like to exhibit the following assertions:
(a) $x \in \overline{D} \ \forall D \in \mathcal{D} \iff$ every neighbourhood of $x$ belongs to $\mathcal{D}$. Which implication uses the maximality assumption?
(b) Let $D \in \mathcal{D}$. Show that: $A \supset D \Rightarrow A \in \mathcal{D}$
(c) If $X$ is $T_1$ there is no more than one point in $\displaystyle \bigcap_{D \in \mathcal{D}} \overline{D}$
I think that the reverse implication of $(a)$ is straightforward. I am only worrying about the forward one, which I assume is the one that uses maximality. I have had no luck with the others.
I realise that there is a conflict. In $(c)$ one must assume that $X$ is $T_1$ but that comes for free since we assume $X$ Hausdorff. Our professor told us that one should assume Hausdorff otherwise the statement is wrong, although he did not specify for which part. The book does not provide the Hausdorff condition.

A: $\newcommand{\cl}{\operatorname{cl}}$HINTS:
(a) Your suspicion that maximality of $\mathscr{D}$ is used for the forward implication is correct. Note that if $x\in\cl D$ for some set $D$, and $N$ is a nbhd of $x$, then $N\cap D\ne\varnothing$. Note also that if $\mathscr{D}$ is maximal, then for any finite subset $\mathscr{F}$ of $\mathscr{D}$ we must have $\bigcap\mathscr{F}\in\mathscr{D}$.
(b) You must again use maximality: show that if $A\supseteq D$ for some $D\in\mathscr{D}$, then $\mathscr{D}\cup\{A\}$ has the finite intersection property.
(c) This is false as stated. Let $\tau$ be the cofinite topology on $\Bbb N$, and let $\mathscr{T}$ be the family of non-empty open sets: $U\in\mathscr{T}$ if and only if $\Bbb N\setminus U$ is finite. Clearly $\mathscr{T}$ has the finite intersection property. Using Zorn's lemma or one of its equivalents we can expand $\mathscr{T}$ to a family $\mathscr{D}\supseteq\mathscr{T}$ of subsets of $\Bbb N$ that is maximal with respect to having the finite intersection property. Every infinite subset of $\Bbb N$ is dense in the space, and every $D\in\mathscr{D}$ is infinite, so $\cl D=\Bbb N$ for every $D\in\mathscr{D}$, and therefore $$\bigcap_{D\in\mathscr{D}}\cl D=\Bbb N$$ contains more than one point. This is actually the part of the problem where you need the assumption that $X$ is Hausdorff: use that to show that if $x\ne y$, then $x$ has a nbhd $N$ such that $y\notin\cl N$.

A: For both (a) and (b), at least, you will get some mileage out of taking a set that is not in $\mathcal D$ and probing what happens when you add it to $\mathcal D$: since the larger collection does not have the finite intersection property (using maximality), you will learn that the additional set is disjoint from something having to do with $\mathcal D$. In the forward implication of part (a) (or rather its contrapositive), let this additional set be a neighborhood of $x$ not belonging to $\mathcal D$. In (b) (again its contrapositive), let the additional set be $A\notin\mathcal D$.

Chosen prophet. If you refer to 2 Kings 2, we see that the sons of the prophets were unsure of Elisha' s appointment as Elijah' s successor.
"And the man of God said, 'Where fell it?' And he showed him the place. And he cut down a stick, and cast it in thither; and the iron did swim."
Now we all know that iron does not float!
2 Kings 6:7 "Therefore said he, 'Take it up to you,' And he put out his hand, and took it."
The stick that was cut down is representative of our Christ. By accepting Jesus with faith, any and all things are possible as God wills! AMEN.
The stick represents the scepter of rulership of God. (Christ will rule with a rod of iron). The axe head represents technology that men depend on in daily life. When technology fails (as it will, since it is associated with man) we can be left in a much worse state than if we didn't possess it.
The meaning of the story is that God can miraculously remedy any failure with man's technology since he rules over the earth and everything in it. No technology is too advanced to be beyond the power of God.
When I look out into the expanse and see the sun moon and stars hanging there with nothing to hold them up, it tells me that the One who put them there and sustains them, is the One the psalmist wrote about when he said 'He stretched out heaven like a tent curtain.' Psalms 104 tells us of the greatness of God.
For God to cause an axe head to float is like having Babe Ruth hit a home run off of Pee Wee Herman. We'd yawn and wonder what the exhibition was all about. What would it prove?
retrieves it. What's this all about?
Compared to some other miracles of scripture this is not worth mentioning. Jesus healing a man born blind (Jn 9:1-12), walking on water (Matt 14), feeding the multitude (Matt 15, Mk 8), a miraculous catch of fish (Lk 5), a coin in the fish mouth (Matt 17), and in my opinion the most amazing, raising Lazarus from being dead (Jn 11). But, these were all done by Jesus in service to people with a serious need.
What is it about this axe head? It's just an axe head. Get another axe head for the handle, put it on the handle and keep it moving. Why are we told about an axe head?
2 Kings 5 has already told us of the grace of God's annointing on Elisha when Naaman, captain of the Syrian army, is healed of leprosy by the word of Elisha. We're already convinced of his ministry and the power of God available to him.
"The Lord will open for you His good storehouse, the heavens, to give rain to your land in its season and to bless all the work of your hand; and you shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow." (Deut 28:12) This promise is contingent on keeping the commandments being retold to them here. And if they disobeyed, "the alien among you shall rise above you.... he shall lend to you, but you will not lend to him." (vs 43, 44).
Borrowing and lending was a serious matter for Israel. God keeps close watch over the culture and habits of His children.
In this narrative, I believe we're being alerted to how God viewed their getting help from anyone other than Him. And, since this young man was serving God in earnest, God is showing His faithfulness to those in His service.
The method of recovery, tossing the handle in the river, is undoubtedly a teaching point also. We all know the handle didn't make the axe head float. The handle is of no use without the axe head, however. It's like having a form of godliness but no power.
Power was restored, and the young men were taught that they could depend on the Almighty in a time of need when they were in service to Him. This promise is still true today.


abstract in english: The paper deals with the non-stationary Oseen system of equations for the generalized Newtonian incompressible fluid with multivalued and nonmonotone frictional slip boundary conditions. First, we provide a result on existence of a unique solution to an abstract evolutionary inclusion involving the Clarke subdifferential term for a nonconvex function. We employ a method based on a surjectivity theorem for multivalued L-pseudomonotone operators. Then, we exploit the abstract result to prove the weak unique solvability of the Oseen system.

Home Lawfirms The Ultimate Guide to Facebook Marketing
The Ultimate Guide to Facebook Marketing
A few years ago, marketing on Facebook was something only a few law firms did, and it was considered something of a fad. Now, with recent statistics indicating that over half of American adults have a Facebook account, you can't keep overlooking Facebook marketing for too much longer. Don't worry—it doesn't have to be difficult, and if you do it right, marketing on Facebook can actually be a lot of fun for you and your potential clients. Keep reading to find out how to make it as painless as possible to start your new Facebook marketing campaign.
The Nuts and Bolts of Facebook Marketing: Getting Started
The first thing that you'll need when you decide to start marketing on Facebook is a fan page. While it's possible to create a Facebook group instead of a fan page for your law firm, groups have unwieldy URLs with long numbers. You can customize the URL for your fan page, making it easier to carry over your Facebook marketing efforts to business cards and print advertising.
You could, just to cover all of your bases, start both a group and a fan page. However, you're almost always better off focusing your Facebook marketing on one page rather than trying to manage a consistent message across two different pages that provide different avenues for marketing on Facebook.
Because all Facebook fan pages now use the new "Timeline" display, you can actually include relevant events in your law firm's history in addition to a cover photo and a profile photo. Don't use the same photo for your cover and your profile photos—this looks repetitive and bland, and won't help your Facebook marketing efforts.
Which Law Firms Are Best at Facebook Marketing?
With so many people using Facebook, it's safe to say that nearly every law firm should now have or be in the process of creating a Facebook fan page. However, you should be aware before you start marketing on Facebook that not all law firms get great results.
Why? It's a simple matter of audience. If your law firm primarily wants to do Facebook marketing to generate B2C leads or just brand awareness, then you'll probably do fine as long as you manage your page well. Facebook is by far the biggest B2C social media platform.
However, if you're a B2B type of law firm, marketing on Facebook may not offer you the same kind of return on investment that some other social media activity can give you. It's still best to have a Facebook page, even if you're a B2B firm. You just may want to focus most of your social media marketing efforts on LinkedIn, which does better with this kind of marketing.
What Makes Facebook Marketing Effective?
On Facebook, users customize their experience and can decide exactly what kinds of posts they want to see. This means that your marketing on Facebook needs to be consistently engaging, or you'll lose followers who might have brought in new business.
Because Facebook presents you with a wide range of options for engaging with your fans, use them! Try polling your fans, using status updates, posting videos, making comments on pages. Facebook marketing tends to be most effective when marketers are generating a lot of engagement through open ended questions.
Different kinds of law firms may need to do different things to have great marketing on Facebook. Your Facebook marketing will be substantially different if you're a solo practitioner working on a shoestring budget or a mid-sized firm that can hire a full time social media marketing manager. Keep reading tips blogs and searching for new ways to interact with your audience on Facebook.
Direct Advertising vs. Social Media Marketing on Facebook
If you're interested in being seen by consumers, you may want to use Facebook direct ads in addition to your other Facebook marketing efforts. This kind of advertising can be precision targeted geographically and using several different demographic categories. Marketing on Facebook in this way can get you a big influx of new fans and new visitors to your law firm website.
In contrast to the speediness of direct advertising, using social media marketing on Facebook will likely take a while longer to show results—but the results will last longer, too. This kind of Facebook marketing doesn't cost anything except time. If you're able to join more conversations and create more discussion, you'll essentially be doing free advertising for your firm.
How to Avoid the Biggest Facebook Marketing Mistakes
Don't try to sound like a corporate persona with no real personality. Instead, make it clear who posts your Facebook updates (if several people have posting access, make that transparent, too). Marketing on Facebook is much easier when you're coming across as a real person, not just an advertisement.
Through the years, Facebook has gotten several big makeovers, and one of the biggest mistakes you can make is letting one of these website changes catch you by surprise. Often, a big website revision can change a great deal about how you'll want to handle marketing on Facebook. Keep yourself informed about changes so that you're never caught unaware.
Split Testing Your Marketing On Facebook
In order to make sure that your marketing campaigns are working, you may want to do some split testing. Split testing for direct ads is easy using Facebook's own tools, but you can also split test even with basic things like trying new ways to interact with your audience.
Not all of your split tests will give you a definitive result, and that's fine. Continuing to test new strategies until you find the ones that work best will help you get ahead of your social media competition. Don't just split test based on different types of content.
Consider doing tests to see whether your posts get more response depending on what day of the week or what time of the day they're posted. Continuous testing ensures that you'll get up to date results and can test new hypotheses at any time.

Sunkrish Bala on 'Killing Poe,' Typecasting, and Wanting To Star In 'The Amazing Race'
November 6th, 2015 5:33 pm in Movies & TV by Tonya Russell - 1 Comment

"There are no small parts, only small actors" is how that old cliché goes. Giving life and verve to every character he plays, Sunkrish Bala proves that he doesn't fall under the latter category. Whether he is playing a zombie, a doctor or both, this Indian-born L.A. transplant — who has quite the penchant for comedy — puts on an unforgettable performance that makes the smallest of roles stand out in the spotlight.
Despite having grown up in Silicon Valley, the 31-year-old Bala decided that the tech world wasn't cut out for him. Neither was the world of medicine or engineering, a path that many of his friends had chosen. Instead, he began his trek to Hollywood by studying theatre at UCLA. Now, he is a familiar face to many, landing roles in shows like AMC's The Walking Dead or ABC's Castle, where he could be last seen flexing his acting muscles as AG tech analyst Vikram Singh.
In a recent interview with Bala, we got to briefly delve into his character Vikram's world and got a glimpse at his two upcoming films, Killing Poe and Chee and T. We also discussed the issue of typecasting in Hollywood and which British beauty he'd like to star opposite to.
GALO: At what age did you make the move from Bombay to L.A.?
Sunkrish Bala: I was born in India, but I came to America at a very young age. I was a baby when I came over. I went back to India for a bit for elementary school, [but] then I came back. So, I grew up in both places. In Northern California, I wound up going to UCLA to study theatre. Then I never left, I just stayed forever.
GALO: For many people, I think it's hard to imagine another scenario. I don't know anyone who hasn't fallen in love with California.
SB: Well, I grew up in Northern California, which is like a completely different country. It's so much different from L.A.
GALO: In what way is it different?
SB: I think culturally. The values are very different. It's like night and day, a different feeling when you're there versus here [in L.A.]. It's like East Coast vs. West Coast.
GALO: Before making the choice to study theatre, what made you want to act?
SB: I've just always done it. I didn't know it was a viable option for me. I never thought of it because I grew up in Silicon Valley, and people there don't go down that path. I grew up during the tech bubble, when everyone wanted to get into the tech industry. All of my friends are doctors and engineers, [and] I really thought that was going to be my path. When it was time for me to go to school and examine what it is that I wanted to do, the only thing that really jumped out was acting. It was then that I made the decision.
GALO: Well, you seem to be doing quite well. You landed a role in ABC's Castle and prior to that you worked on The Walking Dead. But I'm wondering what your backup plan was if it hadn't panned out the way you hoped?
SB: Someone — actually, Kal Penn, from the Harold & Kumar movies, he told me, "People who have backup plans end up falling back on them." So I never had one. I cut a deal with my dad to do a double major in business — and I just never did it [laughs].
GALO: Viola Davis recently gave a moving speech at the Emmy's about breaking barriers as a woman of color. What challenges, if any, do you face as an Indian actor?
SB: Wasn't that gorgeous? I loved her speech. I think the industry that I walked into 10 years ago is very different than the industry today. Back then, it was literally [a choice between playing a] terrorist or 7-11 owner, terrorist, 7-11 owner, etc. It was really bad. I think that, obviously, a glass ceiling still exists, but the barrier keeps getting pushed higher and higher. We have Mindy [Kaling] doing her own show. We have people like Kal [Penn] who cleared the way for the rest. People like Aziz [Ansari] who has his own show on Netflix. I think that [now], more than ever, South Asians are being seen as part of the fabric of our society, certainly much more than we used to be.
GALO: Staying on the subject matter for a minute longer, what are your thoughts on typecasting in Hollywood?
SB: I think there is a lot of power in the word "no." I think it is human nature to put things in a box, but things are so much more interesting if you explore the uniqueness of it all. I think that typecasting is a real problem, but I think that audiences are getting sophisticated. I don't think that audiences really stand for that anymore. It still exists, but we are in a world that is smarter and smaller than it was 10 years ago.
GALO: Yes, people expect more nowadays. They want films and TV to reflect reality. Of course, there's still a lot of inequality in many industries, Hollywood included. You may have noticed that typically when there is a minority lead, the movie tends to be geared toward that group, but when there is a white lead, it's for everyone.
SB: Absolutely. Last year, the movie Exodus: Gods and Kings came out about Egyptians and it starred two white guys — but the bad guys [would] be ethnic. It's ridiculous.
GALO: I read that you helped to found a non-profit theatre company for South Asians. What did you glean from that experience that shaped you as an actor? Do you still love the theatre?
SB: Yes, in the Bay area. I love the theatre. I grew up in a place with a big South Asian population. We were a new and emerging community in the '80s. A lot of them worked in the tech corridor, and there were a lot of our stories that weren't getting told. It was out of that, of course, that a group of us decided to tell those stories for members of our own community, [for] everyone. I just don't think there was a real avenue to do that. So we decided to do it ourselves.

GALO: Tell me about your role as Vikram Singh on Castle. How different was it from being a part of the Walking Dead?
SB: I'm not a zombie in this, so there's that. I play the guy holding the gun and shooting. I play a good guy, so that's the most exciting part for me. I have a scene where I'm running from bullets like in an action movie. It's exciting for me.
GALO: Which of the two recurring roles was more challenging?
SB: I think there is a lot more to Vikram [Singh] for me to explore. When you're doing TV, you're learning with the audience about your character. You get the scripts by the episode, so it's been interesting for me to figure out what Vikram's motivations are. Are they absolutely pure? Is he coming from an honest place? Are the things that he's telling the truth? That's been exciting.
GALO: You've starred on a variety of shows, from MTV hits, to primetime shows, to ones with a cult following. Out of all these experiences, what role has been the most memorable for you?
SB: One of the very first things that I did — kind of the thing that makes people recognize me. I was the guy with the erection that wouldn't go away on Grey's Anatomy way back in the second season. If I get stopped on the street for anything, it's for being "the boner guy." It's memorable because it's the part that won't go away.
GALO: What current show would you like to break into?
SB: I would love to be on The Amazing Race. My roommates and I have a dream of being on that show. I should say that in every interview so that they hear me and put me on. I. Want. To. Win. That. Show.
GALO: You've worked with zombies, and you're now working alongside detectives and criminals. What is your dream role, and who would play opposite you?
SB: Honestly, I would have so much fun doing a multi-cam sitcom. You basically combine theatre [with TV], and it's really funny to have the audience there. It's really fun. I would love to share a frame with Emily Blunt. I think she is amazing. I have a crush on Emily Blunt.
GALO: I also noticed that you are starring in two upcoming movies. One of them is Chee and T. In Chee and T, you are one of only two guys in Silicon Valley who doesn't work in the tech field. From our conversation, it almost feels ironic that you got this role — as if it was written just for you.
SB: That's my life. I go back to see buddies from high school and they have those type of jobs. I am the other. And I'm fine with that.
GALO: After this role, you must have a little bit of a better grasp of the tech industry. Plus, as a society, we're surrounded by new technological advancements on a day-to-day basis. Where do you see technology heading in five years?
SB: I think everything is becoming more tactile. I don't know, I'm an idiot. I have no idea, I just use it.
GALO: I think you're being too harsh on yourself! A lot of people these days still don't know how to use certain technologies, so I would say, you're ahead of the game. Moving on, your other movie, Killing Poe, takes you back to that Walking Dead darkness. It's a comedy about students exacting revenge on their professor in a way that only Edgar Allen Poe could imagine. Tell me more about what we should expect from this film or your role.
SB: This is a fun movie. It's a comedy and I love the script. It's a smart, little dark movie. There's a premiere next month in Chicago.
Video courtesy of Killing Poe.
GALO: Prior to filming, how familiar were you with Poe's work? Did you have a favorite poem or short story?
SB: I've taken classes [that deal with his works], but the cool thing about the movie is that I learned a lot. He coined the term "the imp of the perverse," which is basically a thought you have… Let me put it this way, do you ever think when you drive down the highway about how easy it would be to swerve and hit another car? It's about how much you have the power to change things in a second. I think it's an idea that's just positively creepy and scary.
GALO: Have you ever had an instructor similar to the one in the film?
SB: No, I went to Jesuit school. I never wanted to kill an instructor.
GALO: [Laughs] Of course not! Now, I'm not suggesting that you ever felt like killing a teacher, seldom of us have, but we've all had one of those teachers or professors that we didn't have the strongest liking for. The students in the film, I'm sure they had a reason to feel the way they did.
SB: Oh yeah, he deserved it.
GALO: What are your passions outside of acting?
SB: Well, acting is all-encompassing for me. I've wanted this so bad. I love comedy. I'm a hungry comedian. There are a few comedies that I have been working up the nerve to get on pretty soon. It's a very scary possibility.
GALO: We'll keep our fingers crossed! What other upcoming projects are you working on? Is any of the work behind-the-scenes?
SB: Well, I have [those] two movies coming out. Other than that, if you know anyone who wants to hire a bearded Indian actor, you let me know. You have my number.

Law enforcement received a 911 call on October 3 from an unidentified witness to the theft at American Gilsonite Co. After searching the area, deputies eventually spotted a truck matching the description provided by the 911 caller. After pulling the vehicle over, they found the alleged stolen mine equipment.
The stolen equipment included industrial-strength mining machinery and other valuables taken from the mine site which law enforcement estimated amounted to over $500,000. While searching the truck for the stolen mining equipment, law enforcement also uncovered narcotics and drug paraphernalia.
Theft and burglary are the charges of primary importance in this case, although the drug charges could lead to an additional sentence. Theft is detailed in § 76-6-412 of the Utah Criminal Code. Theft of an item or items valued at more than $5,000 is charged as a second degree felony.
According to § 76-6-202, burglary of a property not considered a dwelling is a third degree felony. Theft is the actual offense of stealing an item or items while burglary is the criminal act of unlawfully entering a property with intent to commit a felony.

HomeoPet Cleanz Detox Dog Cat
SKU: 9047238 IN STOCK
For dogs and cats. Cleans the system of all the toxins the body has accumulated over the years. These toxins can come from spot-on treatments, yard sprays, house sprays, air fresheners, wormers, shampoos and preservatives in food. Built up toxins in your pets system can decrease liver and kidney functions, resulting in a less healthy pet. For treatment give twice daily for 21 days, then repeat every 3 months.
YOUR PET'S SYMPTOMS
Decreased liver and kidney function
Looks unhealthy
Spot on treatments
Yard sprays
House sprays
Chemical de-wormers
Preservatives in food
Dogs/Cats under 20 lbs/10 kg, 5 drops; 21-60 lbs/ 10-30 kg, 10 drops; 61-100 lbs/30-45 kg, 15 drops; over 100 lbs/45 kg, 20 drops.
Treatment: Twice daily for 21 days, repeat every 3 months.
Pets Under 1 lb: 2 drops in the drinking water twice daily.
SMALL MAMMALS such as rabbits, ferrets, hamsters and pot bellied pigs can be dosed by weight as for cats and dogs in previous section.
Optimally, the liquid preparation should be dropped directly into the mucous membrane of the mouth including lips; ideally in dogs by pulling out the labial pouch, and in cats by raising the head until the mouth opens. Where an animal finds this distressful, or an owner is unable to comply, the medication can be put in the food, water or milk. Where animals are sensitive to the odor of the alcohol preservative, a 10-20 minute period should be allowed for dilution and evaporation before the liquid or food is presented to the patient. Occasionally, animals will shake their heads as a response to the alcohol preservative; cats may salivate excessively and in these cases, presenting it in food, water or milk works. It can also be added to a sprayer and misted in the air around severely affected patients to calm them down, or dropped around bedding area 3-5 times daily.
FURTHER ADVICE:
Basic precautions such as having company with the pet where someone will sit and calmly talk to the pet and stroke it, if this is appropriate to the pet, will all enhance the efficacy of the medicine. Desensitization with CDs designed to combat phobias can be useful as can be behavioral therapy. The use of diffusers can be done alongside this medicine, but will not in all cases enhance the effect. The patient should be treated both with and without the diffuser. Chemical sedation can also be used alongside Homeopet Anxiety, but it should be possible to use much reduced doses to give the same level of anxiety reduction, consequently with reduced side effects and can, in many cases, be done without completely.
ADVERSE EFFECTS AND CONTRAINDICATIONS:
None known, other than reversible effect of overdosage. Overdosage will result in a return of symptoms after the symptoms have initially disappeared. Where either increased anxiety or a return of symptoms occurs while on the medication, ceasing to use it will alleviate the effect. Patients who are hypersensitive to homeopathic preparations will show response to a single dose, which may not need to be repeated for some time. For this reason therapy should always start with a single dose and should a major response be seen, therapy should not be recommenced until symptoms relapse, and then only a single dose given for maximum effect. Although there is no evidence that there are any safety issues, extra care should always be taken when dealing with pregnant animals. Should a suspected adverse reaction be seen or advice needed, please contact HomeoPet LLC (contact information at bottom of sheet).
DRUG INTERACTIONS:
None known for animal use only. Keep out of reach of children.
PHARMACEUTICAL PRECAUTIONS:
Store at room temperature, out of direct sunlight, and away from strong odors.
USER SAFETY:
No adverse effects have been recorded. There have been reports to the company of beneficial rather than adverse effects. As homeopathics are active in humans, care is advised when handling product. Although a long history of homeopathics used in humans shows a very high safety margin.
Size 15 ml

Q: PHP cURL; Wait for API status change before continuing I'm doing php cURL requests to an API (an ad exchange).
The request creates a report that takes 2-60 seconds to generate, depending on server load. (95% of the time, it only takes 2 seconds).
When I do this request, I get an array of data from the API, including the report status, which I set as $foundreportstatus.
If I check $foundreportstatus immediately, it will say "In Progress".
Is there a way to recheck/update $foundreportstatus every 2 seconds, to see if the status has changed to 'Complete'?
It was suggested previously that I employ outside plugins (eg. Gearman) to handle an asynchronous request. Is there a way to avoid installing any plugins?

The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, has announced that the world's first Ultra-Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) will start from April 8 2019.
Last month, Khan introduced the new Toxicity Charge (T-Charge) in central London to help deter the use of older more polluting vehicles, and encourage walking or cycling, or using public transport, in the build up to the ULEZ.
From April 2019, the ULEZ will replace the T-Charge and operate in the same area, alongside the congestion charge but (unlike the T-Charge and Congestion Charge, which are only in place on weekdays) it will operate 24 hours a days, seven days a week, 365 days a year.
All revenue raised will be used by Transport for London (TfL) to help maintain a greener transport fleet and reduce pollution across the transport network.
The Mayor has also decided that TfL buses – especially the New Routemaster bus – should meet the same Euro 6 requirement as other heavy vehicles and private buses from April 2019.
Road transport emissions in central London are expected to reduce by an additional 20% in 2019 as a result of the early introduction of the ULEZ. This includes: NOx emissions from HGVs are expected to reduce by nearly 50%; coach and non-TfL bus emissions will reduce by more than a third; and emissions from cars and vans are expected to reduce by eight and 12% respectively.
TfL's director for city planning, Alex Williams, said: "We are moving quickly to implement the Mayor's bold proposals to improve air quality in the capital.
Would be interesting to see the impact the ULEZ has on tourism UK and from Europe to see if these charges deter visitors.
Another nice little earner, £24. Just get into the place- it ain't that good. A the other "mayors" can now follow suit so moving around towns by car to do business is going to be taxed- because that's all it is. If I undertook a servey of business car driving non Londoners and asked if they supported the new charges- would they support the charges, I don't think so. On the other hand if l asked some central Londoners (most of whome don't own or drive a car) the same question what might there answer be.


is one of the most popular robot vacuums available to buy at the moment. The reason I believe that is so is because the price is very reasonable compared to some robot vacuums, we'll be looking at other pros and cons like it can clean well on all floor types, it also works well in picking up pet hair.
You can set the Roomba 650 to clean on a schedule which is great if you are busy and would like the vacuum to clean when you're not at home.
This vacuum can run for up to an hour before it needs to re-charge and it will return to it's docking station to do that when it runs down. It's very easy to use and can take away a time consuming chore giving you more time for other things.
into the middle of the spill it will clean in a spiral pattern for a more thorough clean.
although being on the cheaper side of the Roomba family, has the ability to be scheduled. There are buttons on the top of the vacuum to set the time and from there you can then decide what cleaning schedule you would like to have. You can set the time to clean at any time of the day that suits you, so if you want your floor cleaned when you are out at work then you can set the time for that. You can also decide how many days you want to have your floor vacuumed from 1 day a week all the way up to 7 days a week. What better way to clean your floors than when you're not around.
to make cleaning your room easily without any input from you. There are drop sensors so the Roomba doesn't fall down stairs or of a step, so if you want to set it going upstairs to clean you won't need to put anything in the way at the top of the stairs so it won't fall down it reads the drop from the sensor underneath. It also uses a full set of sensors to navigate around your room avoiding objects and cleaning as it goes. Your robot vacuum also has a dirt detect sensor which recognises areas of dirt and will provide additional cleaning in those areas.
The Roomba also comes with a virtual wall which you can put across a doorway or next to an object you don't want to have your vacuum bang into. The wall sends out a signal that the robot vacuum recognises and won't cross it. This is really useful if you want to confine your vacuum to one room.
do a clean while you're there so you can see if you need to move items that might be at risk. It seems to cope better with lighter walls and items rather than dark furniture legs.
will clean in a random pattern around the floor, some vacuums can map the area more efficiently, like the Roomba 980 which gets the shape of the room and cleans in a linear pattern so it covers the whole floor. The 650 is a bit less efficient in that respect as it tends to just set off and using some algorithm moves over the floor with no apparent pattern, it touches an object then moves off in another direction. Overall it covers most of the floor when cleaning although it may cover some areas a bit more often than others.

Q: pandas moving aggregate string from pandas import *

import StringIO

df = read_csv(StringIO.StringIO('''id   months  state
1   1   C

2   7   9
2   8   C
'''), delimiter= '\t')

I want to create a column show the cumulative state of column state, by id.
id  months  state   result
1   1   C   C
1   2   3   C3
1   3   6   C36
1   4   9   C369
2   1   C   C
2   2   C   CC
2   3   3   CC3
2   4   6   CC36

2   6   9   CC699
2   7   9   CC6999
2   8   C   CC6999C

Basically the cum concatenation of string columns. What is the best way to do it?

A: So long as the dtype is str then you can do the following:
In [17]:
df['result']=df.groupby('id')['state'].apply(lambda x: x.cumsum())
df

Out[17]:
    id  months state    result
0    1       1     C         C
1    1       2     3        C3
2    1       3     6       C36
3    1       4     9      C369
4    2       1     C         C
5    2       2     C        CC
6    2       3     3       CC3
7    2       4     6      CC36
8    2       5     9     CC369
9    2       6     9    CC3699
10   2       7     9   CC36999
11   2       8     C  CC36999C

Essentially we groupby on 'id' column and then apply a lambda with a transform to return the cumsum. This will perform a cumulative concatenation of the string values and return a Series with it's index aligned to the original df so you can add it as a column


I just came across the CH Audio Design website, through a link posted on Audiotreff. This company (or person?) offers spectacular wood reproductions of the Altec 1505B multicell horns. This style of hornbuilding, splitting the horn into smaller segments and pointing them in a radiating style, is intended to prevent beaming. These smaller segments are the multicells. In the usable pass-band, the wavefronts of the individual horns combine well and a smooth response and wide dispersion is achieved. At higher frequencies, each individual multicell exhibits beaming.
There is more than just pretty pictures there, including a set of drawings for an adjustable base assembly, allowing variable tilting. If, like me, you are used to adjust the position and angle of your midhorns by adding books to the stack underneath your driver (...), you will surely appreciate this feature. :) Also interesting to see is Dietmar of Germany's system. Clearly a Big Rig.

Q: Adjust imageview position using coordinates in the original background image
I have a image, with a cut out in it. I know the bounds of the cutouts in the original image.
I am trying to fit a face inside this cut out.
How can I do that and use these values for various screen densities.
The code I am currently using is below. It does not achieve the goal, it shows the image as a small thumbnail, which gets fixed to top

RelativeLayout linearLayout =  (RelativeLayout)findViewById(R.id.root);
    RelativeLayout.LayoutParams relativeParams = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(
            RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,  RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);

    relativeParams.leftMargin =273;
    relativeParams.topMargin = 509;
    relativeParams.rightMargin = 672;
    relativeParams.bottomMargin = 1031;

    //relativeParams.setMargins(300,300,300,300);

    ImageView iv = new  ImageView(this);

    iv.setImageBitmap(Constants.userBit);

    linearLayout.addView(iv, relativeParams);

Benzema the fall guy as Real Madrid flounder
MADRID: In a recurring theme of Real Madrid's stuttering season, Zinedine Zidane protested all his side lacked was a goal as they fell 10 points behind La Liga leaders Barcelona after firing more blanks in a bad-tempered Madrid derby.
Yet, in attempting to defend a lacklustre performance from Saturday's stalemate at Atletico Madrid, Zidane turned the spotlight once more on the misfiring Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema.
Ronaldo's run of one goal in eight La Liga games has attracted more attention because it is so out of character for a man who has plundered 414 goals in 408 games as Madrid's all-time top scorer.
The World Player of the Year has also bagged six goals in four Champions League games to compensate for a slow La Liga start.
Benzema, by contrast, has just two goals in nearly 1,000 minutes on the field this season in all competitions and patience with the Frenchman is wearing thin.
Madrid-based sports daily Marca described the repeated presence of Spanish wonderkid Marco Asensio on the bench for Real's biggest games as "incomprehensible"after Asensio posed more of a threat for the final 15 minutes than Benzema had for 75 before being hooked at the Wanda Metropolitano.
Marca's rival publication AS described Benzema as a "ghost striker" for his lack of end product.
Former England great Gary Lineker has even provoked a fierce reaction from both Zidane and Benzema in recent weeks for labelling the latter "overrated".
Benzema's eight-year stint at the Santiago Bernabeu has been filled with highs and lows.
Jose Mourinho complained of his meek nature claiming he wanted a "hunter" whilst describing Benzema as a "cat" when Real boss, and Benzema has often found himself whistled by the demanding Bernabeu crowd for his lack of killer instinct.
– Real backing –
However, in a huge show of support, Benzema, 29, was handed a bumper new four-year contract in September.
Madrid also bet big on Benzema by cashing in on Alvaro Morata when Chelsea offered £60 million ($81 million, 68 million euros) in July and failed to replace the Spanish international.
Morata scored more goals than Benzema last season despite playing fewer minutes and his sensational start to his Chelsea career has left even Ronaldo questioning Madrid's transfer policy.
The Portuguese admitted Real lacked the same experience in a depleted squad this season after a first defeat in the Champions League group stages for five years at Tottenham Hotspur in their last European outing.
Yet it is Ronaldo's presence that has played a huge role in preserving Benzema's status as Madrid's number nine with the latter seen as the perfect unselfish foil for Ronaldo.
"He is more egotistical than me, but that is normal," Benzema told Canal+ France last week on his relationship with Ronaldo.
"I score goals but there is someone alongside me who scores 50 goals a season."
Zidane has been a fierce defender of Benzema's role as a team player not just a goalscorer.
"Karim won't score 60 goals a season, but he will score 25 or 30 and make 30-40," he said in response to Lineker's criticism.
However, having saved their money as rampant inflation swept through the transfer market in the summer, time is running out for Benzema to prove his worth with Real well-placed to splash out on a new Galactico at the end of the season.
Harry Kane, Robert Lewandowski and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang have all been linked with a move to the Bernabeu.
The one competition where Benzema does have a formidable record is in the Champions League.
Only Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, Raul and Ruud van Nistelrooy have scored more than his 51 goals in the competition proper.
A return to form to secure Real's place in the knockout phase for a 21st consecutive season when they travel to Cypriot champions APOEL Nicosia on Tuesday is needed to quieten the critics once more.

What is PABA and where is it found?
Para-aminobenzoic acid or PABA as it is more commonly known, is a chemical substance that is found in the folic acid vitamin and also in several foods including grains, eggs, milk, molasses, liver and kidney.
PABA is also prepared industrially for use in sunscreen and local anaesthetic agents. PABA was found to have UVB absorbing properties and in 1943 was patented and became one of the first active ingredients to be used in sunscreen products. Although PABA and its aminobenzoic acid esters (glyceryl PABA, padimate O and roxadimate) are all effective sunscreen agents, they are also strong sensitizing agents and can cause allergic contact dermatitis. Also, in the early 1980s, animal studies with PABA suggested there may be an increased risk of cellular UV damage. For these reasons PABA is now seldom used in sunscreen products.
PABA is the chemical foundation for a group of local anaesthetic agents. These include butethamide, benzocaine, procaine, tetracaine, propoxycaine, and butacaine. Allergic contact dermatitis reactions may occur when these agents are used in PABA sensitive individuals. Benzocaine is the most notorious sensitizer.
What are the reactions to PABA allergy?
PABA sensitivity produces classic allergic contact dermatitis as well as photocontact dermatitis. In PABA allergic individuals, sunscreens containing PABA or its esters can cause a burning or stinging sensation particularly if the product is alcohol-based. However, burning and stinging may also sometimes occur as an irritant reaction in people with sensitive skin, even when not actually allergic to PABA.
Occasionally injection of PABA-derived local anaesthetics to allergic individuals may cause swelling of the oral mucosa (stomatitis) at the site of the injection. Rarely, more severe reactions such as generalised urticaria or anaphylaxis may result.
Am I allergic to PABA?
PABA allergy is diagnosed by performing special allergy tests, i.e. patch tests with 10% PABA in petrolatum.
Treatment of PABA allergy
If you are diagnosed with PABA allergy then avoid exposure to PABA-containing products. Management of PABA dermatitis may be treated as for any acute dermatitis/eczema; this may include treatment with topical corticosteroids and emollients.
What should I do to avoid PABA allergy?
Read product labels and avoid products that contain PABA or any of its alternative names. Avoid related substances that you may also be allergic to. This includes sunscreen products containing PABA esters, paraphenylenediamine (PPD) commonly found in permanent hair dyes, sulfonamides, and azo dyes. Ask your pharmacist for advice and a suitable alternative. Alert your doctor and dentist to the fact that you have an allergy to PABA. Your dermatologist may have further specific advice, particularly if you are highly sensitive.

The Brightest Stars~ By Sherri Levine
Tonight, the sky's a picture box
where stars that pulse and pulsate
are like fireflies my sister and I
tried to catch, but couldn't keep
in our hands long enough to put in jars,
and carry them like lanterns in a storm.
We would wait for the darkness
when bats that looked like birds
would rise up from our tree
flitter, flutter, flying far away.
When dishes smacked against
kitchen walls and blinds slammed shut,
we knew we had to go
somewhere else.
Our navigators:
street lamps,
the brightest stars,
a steady white moon.
