Frontline: The Al Qaeda Files
With the bogeyman spectre of Osama bin Laden lingering over the Western world's head, the threat posed by terrorism and Al Qaeda specifically - and Osama bin Laden even more specifically - sometimes seems almost metaphysical. John McCain likes to call it "an existential threat," which may be true in its own way, but also implies something unfathomable, almost abstract in its evil. What "Frontline" does, in this series of episodes aired between 1999 and 2005, is lift the curtain a bit and show us what lies behind the organization of Al Qaeda, the events of 9/11, and the terrorist attacks since then. It's a riveting, fascinating, and sometimes disturbing look at a culture often alien to Americans, and also sometimes weirdly familiar.
There are seven programs on this disc and the first one, "Hunting Bin Laden" has a surreal tinge to it. Why? Simply by virtue of its original date, which was the turn-of-the millennium, in other words when bin Laden still was an abstract threat to most Americans. In this program we follow his passage from family fortune to mujahideen to terrorist financier to terrorist leader. One of the useful reminders this show offers is that for all the stereotypes, most organizational terrorists, and certainly terrorist leaders, do not come from impoverished backgrounds. They are middle-class, well-educated, coming to radical Islam more as an ideology than a religion, as a forum for their transformed consciousness. The image of bin Laden, with the long beard and robes, hidden deep in a cave somewhere on the outskirts of civilization, may frighten many Americans, but it seems supremely calculated to do so: it's an image bin Laden has created himself, not one he was born into.
The following episode, "Looking for Answers" was aired less than a month after 9/11 and has a somewhat different tone than "Hunting bin Laden." Whereas the first had a curious, investigative tone, "Looking for Answers" is limned with a grimmer mood, for obvious reasons. Though "Frontline" also seems to have gone through an aesthetic transformation in the intervening years; its cinematography is now darker and sharper. This episodes rehashes some of what the previous show provided, while providing some new interviews and some unseen outtakes, including further interviews with a weirdly charismatic Egyptian terrorist (who doesn't seem to have played much of a role in the attacks of the last few years - we never see him again); one expects him to say something like, "Yes, infidel, I would like to cut your head off and blow up your family. Would you like some more tea?"
After these intriguing looks at the formation of Al Qaeda and the context provided for the international jihadist movement, we move into a series of fascinating, more focused stories. "The Man Who Knew" is about John O'Neil, a flamboyant FBI agent who specialized in terrorism and especially bin Laden. Though prescient, supremely dedicated to his work, and an obvious asset to the FBI, he was largely marginalized - because of his idiosyncratic personality, because of casual sloppiness (he left a briefcase with classified documents in a meeting once), and because of a temper that did not ingratiate him to his superiors.
Yet O'Neil was always ringing the alarm bells about bin Laden and proved adept at investigation. Once he was finally pressured out of the Bureau, he took a job as head of security in the World Trade Center. When a friend joked that he chose the safest place because "they've already hit that one, they won't go after it again," O'Neil responded pensively that they had always wanted to finish the job. And indeed, on 9/11 he died when the Towers collapsed. We've been hearing a lot about "mavericks" in the past few months, but apparently O'Neil was the real deal, for better or for worse. Within the captivating story is a warning about organizational and bureaucratic ineptitude - institutions planting the seeds of their own destruction.
The following episode, "In Search of Al Qaeda" takes a step back from the personal stories for a moment to follow the hunt for the group and bin Laden in post-Taliban Afghanistan. This is our first introduction to Waziristan, the region between Pakistan and Afghanistan, technically under Pakistani control but in fact ruled by tribes sympathetic to bin Laden and Al Qaeda. It is almost certainly here where bin Laden remains. Though premiered back in 2002, six years later the story is not much different. Yesterday I watched "The War Briefing," a "Frontline" program devoted to the war in Afghanistan and it was clear that the situation had worsened but the conditions were the same: tribal regions beyond U.S. or Afghan control, Pakistani reluctance to deal with the problem, and - already in 2002 - a refocusing on Iraq which would distract us from those really responsible for 9/11.
"Chasing the Sleeper Cell" returns to the smaller-scale stories, examples that fact is often stranger than fiction. In the spring of 2001, a group of American teenagers - members of a Muslim community in Lakawanna, NY - told their friends and families they were going on a religious trip to Pakistan. Instead they hooked up with Kamal Derwish, an American citizen living in Saudi Arabia with connections to bin Laden and the terror network. He got them into Afghanistan where the six guys trained in an Al Qaeda camp and met with bin Laden. You can't make this stuff up, and as one of the young men is interviewed, casually speaking in all-American vernacular about how he tried to get out of the camp and bin Laden personally asked him to stay, he sounds like some disobedient camper trying to wriggle his way out from the clutches of an overzealous camp counselor. At one point, bin Laden asked one of the young men to send a letter home to his parents, letting them know where he was in case they were worried. I mean really...you can't make this stuff up.
Much of the episode also focuses on the FBI's surveillance and eventual arrest of the "Lakawanna Six." Though ostensibly the "worst terror cell in the U.S." they don't appear to have been a terror cell at all, just six kids looking for adventure (this was before 9/11, though after attacks on the USS Cole and the embassies), who happened to be incredibly, incredibly stupid in how they want about it. Though the government trumped up the arrests as if they were equivalent to the operations in Hamburg - related to a 9/11 planner - the sentences of the young men ended up being about 10 years each - which seems extreme for misguided but harmless behavior, but extremely loose if they were really as dangerous as the FBI and Homeland Security claims to have believed.
But the most disquieting moment of the show arrives near the end. In those calm, staid PBS tones, the reporters ask their subjects whatever happened to Kamal Derwish, the Saudi connection. Why wasn't he named in the indictment? Long, long silences follow, in which you can hear the buzzing of the room tone and sound equipment. Little smiles and twinkles in the corners of their eyes betray the FBI agents' attempted stoicism. They clear their throats. "Uh, well he's not named in the indictment, so as far as the FBI is concerned..." The subject trails off, barely able to withhold a smirk. When Homeland Security chief Tom Ridge is asked the silence is deafening. The man has one hell of a poker face. Although I should mention he isn't asked why Kamal Derwish wasn't indicted, but rather if the U.S. government knew that Derwish was in the car that a Predator drone blew up in Yemen several years ago. Finally Ridge responds affirmatively. All this is not especially offputting - how many terrorist leaders have been assassinated in this war? - until "Frontline" reminds us, and Ridge, that Derwish was an American citizen. Granted, this is no different than the tactic used to "capture" John Dillinger or Bonnie and Clyde but it remains more than slightly disturbing.
"Son of Al Qaeda" is the most fascinating of all the programs in this collection: Abduhraman Khadr was the son of a close friend of bin Laden's and grew up in and around the terror camps in Afghanistan. We are told that he was a rebellious youth, that he drank, smoked, and chased women (though how one chases women in Taliban-ruled Afghanistan is left to the imagination). We even see video of him, looking like an American teenager, with his arm around a bearded buddy, joking with the camera. What ensues will certainly be made into a movie someday, though whether fact or fiction cannot be currently confirmed. Khadr claims that following the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan he was separated from his family and taken into military custody. He agreed to cooperate with U.S. authorities, came under CIA control and began to move about the country, collecting intelligence.
Eventually they asked him to go to Guantanamo Bay, where he would be treated like any other prisoner but would hopefully get close to those around him, and pry loose vital information that interrogators could not get. Khadr's recollections of Guantanamo are chilling, from the plane ride for which he is strapped to the interior, wishing for suicide, to the isolation chambers where he nearly went mad, to his recollection that his brother also showed up in the prison, communicating from across the wall to "stick to the story." Khadr says he told the military guards that they were making a big mistake, that most of the prisoners were innocent. Eventually he couldn't take it anymore, and requested transfer.
The CIA sent him to Bosnia and prepared him to infiltrate a jihadist group and enter Iraq. At this point, Khadr decided he had had enough and demanded to be freed. The CIA agreed, saying it would pay him a promised sum, and let him go to Canada, where he had spent much of his childhood (indeed, Khadr and his family were Canadian citizens all this time). When he never received his money, he contacted "Frontline" to tell his story. The episode also features interviews with Khadr's mother and sister, cloaked head to toe, only their eyes showing. In genial manner, and lightly Canadian accents, they reminisce about Osama bin Laden, who apparently enjoyed reading poetry and playing volleyball. Both they and Khadr recall his relationship with his kids - "he was a typical father" Khadr recounts - and these are among the most fascinating moments in the entire collection. Khadr also remembers watching the African embassy and 9/11 bombings on television, as his friends cheered and he watched dead Africans being carried by medics in Kenya and men leap from windows in the World Trade Center and felt queasy and disturbed instead of elated.
As for his story, the CIA neither confirms nor denies. Khadr has submitted to - and passed - polygraph tests and when you hear his recollections, they do convey a sense of conviction. It's hard to believe that he fabricated all of his detailed memories. We are told that his grandmother disowned him when she discovered he'd collaborated with the CIA, but that Khadr's mother and little brother (who was injured in a firefight that killed their father in 2003) arrived in Canada seeking medical attention soon after, and that the family has begun to reconcile.
The final program is called "Al Qaeda's New Front." It is the most disturbing and the most relevant to our current situation. Aired in 2005, before the London bombings of July had even taken place, it shows how Al Qaeda has expanded into Europe and become a completely viral, amorphous organization. The start of this collection shows us a roughly organized, fairly focused jihadist movement, composed of well-educated, radical Islamists who have fairly concrete critiques of U.S. policy and specific resentments they hope to address. By the time of "Al Qaeda's New Front" this situation has transformed into something more dangerous. Interviewed jihadists speak of a caliphate stretching across the Middle East, even into Spain. More frighteningly, their connections to one another are tenuous, something easily broken and transmutated - these men appear like nomadic drifters, winding their way from one country to another, plotting attacks with the hope that they will kill the maximum number of civilians.
French counterterrorism experts criticize the Bush administration's approach to the War on Terror, comparing the current composition of Al Qaeda to an amobea. We are also given a look at why the situation has become more violent in Europe than in America: Muslim populations there are more marginalized, less integrated into the community, and more easily radicalized. What you get is ghettoization rather than the proverbial melting pot. The program begins with footage from the March 11, 2004 bombing in Madrid and this thread continues intermittently throughout, culminating in the revelation that Rabei Osman El Sayed Ahmed, a radical jihadist circulating throughout Europe, claims responsibility for the Madrid bombings. He does so in a recorded sing-song voice set to music, boasting to a young friend whom he is trying to mentally prepare for a suicide bombing. This is one of the most chilling moments in the series: I can't describe exactly how or why the sound of this is so creepy, but it is.
It also points to a possible flaw in the otherwise riveting series. "Frontline" has a tendency to focus on cold, hard facts, which I like, but in doing so it largely eschews the motivations behind all this madness. And I don't mean the stated causes of the terrorists, but the psychological makeup. When we peer into the consciousness of jihadists, in the musical recording, in some of the propaganda videos, it's undeniably fascinating. "Frontline" lays out the scenarios, but never quite lets us inside - perhaps this would be more than a documentary program could achieve. Nonetheless, the little clues it plants throughout open the door a crack, letting us peer behind the metaphysical mystique of the ostensibly existential terror threat.

Q: Determining if a method overrides another using reflection? Is this possible?
The only solutions I found usually consider a method as overriden if Class B is assignable from Class A and if Method A has the same signature as Method B. But it's not covering every cases!
For instance, I want to handle this case :
interface Foo<T> {
    void doStuff(T arg);
}

class FooImpl implements Foo<String> {
    public void doStuff(String args) {
        //Is overriden!
    }
}

I also want to check that Method B is actually visible to Method A (package scope etc.).
Have you ever experienced a reliable method to determine if a method is overriden?
Thank you

A: There is an existing answer to determine whether a method is overriden if there is no generics involved.
Java will remove generic type entirely due to type erasure. So the bytecode would be:
class FooImpl implements Foo<java.lang.String> {
  FooImpl();
    Code:
       0: aload_0
       1: invokespecial #10                 // Method java/lang/Object."<init>":()V
       4: return

  public void doStuff(java.lang.String);
    Code:
       0: return

  public void doStuff(java.lang.Object);
    Code:
       0: aload_0
       1: aload_1
       2: checkcast     #21                 // class java/lang/String
       5: invokevirtual #23                 // Method doStuff:(Ljava/lang/String;)V
       8: return
}

There is two doStuff method. It is a bridge method. It simply do type cast and invoke the void doStuff(java.lang.String), so actually void doStuff(java.lang.String) is not overriden, but void doStuff(java.lang.Object) is. When you use polymorphism like:
Foo foo = new FooImpl();
foo.doStuff("ABC")

It actually calls void doStuff(java.lang.Object). So if you use the above link to detect whether void doStuff(java.lang.Object) is overriden, it will report yes.
public static void main(java.lang.String[]);
    Code:
       0: new           #1                  // class FooImpl
       3: dup
       4: invokespecial #22                 // Method "<init>":()V
       7: astore_1
       8: aload_1
       9: ldc           #23                 // String ABC
      11: invokeinterface #25,  2           // InterfaceMethod Foo.doStuff:(Ljava/lang/Object;)V
      16: return

The American West has a long and colorful history of men killing each other over the some of the stupidest reasons imaginable.
I suspect then that Great-Great-Great-Uncle John would have found a kindred spirit in 63-year-old William Earl Cunningham of Laurel, Montana, who is facing deliberate homicide charges after allegedly slashing the throat of another man in a booze-tinged argument over which branch of the U.S. military was better—the Army or the Marines.
According to the Billings Gazette, Cunningham was at a picnic at a friend's house last Saturday night when he started arguing the relative merits of the U.S. Army over the U.S. Marine Corps with 40-year-old Nathan Horn.
Cunningham claims that as the service branch argument became more heated, Horn took a swing at him. Yellowstone County prosecutors say that Cunningham—whose blood-alcohol level was over measured at 0.217 percent, or well over twice the legal limit to drive in Montana—then decided it was a good time to become Army Strong and pushed Horn back before slashing the man's throat with a 3 1/2-inch folding knife.
"I did what the Army taught me to do," said Cunningham, according to court documents.
Authorities say that Horn suffered a deep cut to the left side of his neck and another deep wound to the cheek, and died about an hour later.
On Tuesday, a Montana judge set Cunningham's bond at $500,000. He has not yet entered a plea in the case.
Authorities say that they can't confirm if either man had actually served in the military, but say that both Cunningham and Horn did have prior criminal records for "unspecified violent crimes."
*After a 17-year stretch in prison, Hardin (who, incidentally, was not highly-regarded in our family) did the most natural thing imaginable—he passed the Texas bar exam and briefly became a lawyer before being shot in the head while playing dice in an El Paso saloon in 1896. Seventy-two years later, Bob Dylan curiously decided to title his first Biblically-themed album after him–albeit misspelling his name as John Wesley Harding.


Pope Francis will release his climate change encyclical in June and it's expected that at least a third of Catholics will immediately buy in, according to one poll.
His letter will be detailed and all-encompassing, covering, land, air, earth, and water making the Clean Air and Clean Water Acts look small-time.
In the summary report of the encyclical, "Climate Change and The Common Good," the Pope wrote.
The Pope is fully on board with redistribution, the war on fossil fuels, and he plans to make it a matter of morality, something Barack Obama and John Kerry have been trying to do for several years. Kerry quoting Gospel is ridiculous but the Pope doing it is alarming.
It truly is an unholy alliance of Marxists and the Catholic Church. As Christians are being martyred throughout the word and demonized in the United States, the Pope is concerned about man-made climate change, a science only proven via computer-generated prognostications with faulty information.
Pope Francis is very popular, appears to be a very holy man, and, as a leader of 1.2 billion Catholics, he can make much of the world into redistributionists with the stroke of his pen.
The Pope will use the threat of sin to make us into redistributionists.
The leftists at The Center for American Progress are thrilled of course.
It is a very big deal. How ironic that the leftists who hate Catholics and the Vatican suddenly sing their praises.
There is absolutely no proof of that. That doesn't mean we shouldn't do all we can to preserve nature within reason, but what the leftists are talking about is totalitarianism, Marxism and the redistribution of U.S. wealth to the world.
Could the Pope, the UN, and Barack Obama all be wrong?
If you wonder whether all the people can be wrong, you only need to remember NAZI Germany.
I'm a Catholic and I'm not following his mandates.
That's exactly what I've been saying. Most people at our parish are too dead to care.
'Redistribution of wealth'(?) – which is not happening in any meaningful, anyway – isn't what communism is about. Its about state resdistributing the earnings of the common man while protecting the stolen wealth of the elites (mainly Jewish). In other words its about subversion -or lies. Redistributing elite 'wealth' -a slow, but easily observable process over a number of years whereby 'free trade'(a Marxist agenda of bringing the world under one government rule; destroying Indigenous culture, history ethnicity – communism) deregulation allow a criminal Jewish elite to subversively gain power before destroying the majority religion culture, history and replacing it with degenerative falsehoods (gay 'marriage')…."Anti-communism" in the west has long been a communist subversive ideology to justify the hostile coups and wars to control nations that seek independece from the 'one world government (communism). Thats stuff being so obvious one has to look at articles like this as typical communist psy-op. Although cognitive dissonance is the norm for media-addicted Americans…the level of denial needed to believe that America is a capitalist nation, is simply enormous..
It has worked very well int he past, only 100 million murdered in its name. Do you have skin head?

Q: socket programming with ioctl TIOCOUTQ Just a simple question, I am doing a raw socket programming:
fd = socket(AF_PACKET, SOCK_RAW, IPPROTO_RAW);

and was pulling the the send buffer using:
bytes = sendto(fd, &buffer, send_size, 0,(struct sockaddr*)&socket_addr, addr_size);

ioctl(fd, TIOCOUTQ, &bytes);
while(bytes>0)
    ioctl(fd, TIOCOUTQ, &bytes);

if the bytes returns 0 and exit the while loop, does it guaranteed that the data is sent out of the device ? if not how do I actually check if the data is sent out of the device?

A: This is what I used to drive TX enable line when of RS-485 transceiver to ensure all bits are out:
void WaitTxDone(unsigned int messageSize)
{
    //wait for tty TX queue to become empty
    int queued = 1;
    while (queued > 0)
        ioctl(m_port->getPortHandle(), TIOCOUTQ, &queued);

    //number of nanoseconds it takes to transmit messageSize bytes (10 is 8 bits + start + stop)
    unsigned int txTime = ((float)(messageSize * 10) / m_baudrate) * 1000000000;

    //assuming it won't take longer than one second
    struct timespec delay = {0, txTime};
    nanosleep(&delay, NULL);
}


There was a time when I used to shy away from discussing individuals as opposed to events. Only recently I have broken my rules and feel compelled to say things publicly, stamping out gossip when it sparks up, believing it is imperative to dispel baseless allegations, while augmenting the demand for facts.
Since the latest trend in Pakistani politics is stirring up hysteria, and taking things at face value while mindlessly spreading rumors like wild fire, I am trying to keep up with the current theme of systematically extending the life of every topic, irrespective of how pointless it may be!
After critically analyzing Pakistan's social spectrum, I have come to realize that in addition to indulging in bogus gossip, a significant number of Pakistanis are now suffering from an acute and potentially dangerous psychological illness which impairs their ability to think rationally. Nation-wide study predicts that full recovery of such chronic patients will require getting in touch with reality and embracing it. Left untreated, this disease may inflict a serious cost on the nation in the form of mental decline.
Last time I checked, I couldn't find a good enough reason to tarnish someone's image with an outlandish claim, so can someone please explain to me the rationale behind purposely digging up dirt on people? What could be the logic behind character assassination? Why do people like spreading salacious information with a passion? When will we label the whole practice as reprehensible? Isn't it our duty to question hearsay? Shouldn't it be our responsibility to discredit misinformation that has no basis in reality? Or will we continue finding flaws for the sake of 'habitual criticism'?
In a world free of delusions, an internship is a career specific, temporary position which helps to gain necessary work experience by observing and understanding things as they occur over a specified course of time. It is perfectly legit to secure an internship for the educational and academic value it provides. It is also perfectly normal to have a visiting card for the duration of the internship which further clarifies the transparent means through which networking is conducted. Experience entails professionalism and facets of PR are important to represent your country, especially in Washington DC, the prime political capital of the world.
So then what is wrong in undergoing practical training? Why is it bad to get your foot in the door? How many politicians in Pakistan attempt to gain professional experience? How many try to learn about the inner workings of the US Senate and the general workings of the American system? Should Zain be criticized because he got the chance to learn and discover? Should he be lambasted for refining his skills? Shouldn't we appreciate him for diversifying his experience? Shouldn't he be encouraged to gain a better understanding of his political field?
It is extremely unfortunate that many people in Pakistan completely disregard transferable skills and fail to understand the importance of seeking work place maturity and perspective. But it is about time we realize that it is an asset to have youth that commands an awareness of the world. Engaging international audiences' helps remove any misperceptions that might hinder the attainment of our foreign policy objectives.
Pakistan needs people who can represent our interests in the policy formulation bodies of America. We lack important insights into the workings of the American system which are required to bolster public diplomacy and are necessary to understand and apprehend foreign perspective. As a nation we need to get out of the 'gossip groove' and strive to attain the knowledge we need for tomorrow, to pave the way into a better future. That is the only way we can give back to our community; the only way in which we can build a stable bridge between home and abroad!

She also opens up about her relationship with Brandi Glanville.
As the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills are readying for the glitz, glamour and drama of Season Four, rumors are starting to circulate, once again, that Kyle Richards was cheated on by husband Mauricio Umansky.
But Kyle is standing firm in denying any infidelity on the part of her husband, whom she's been married to for 17 years. In fact, the whispers, which surfaced earlier this year in a tabloid report, caught her by surprise. "[It was] part of the snowball out-of-control thing," she tells People. "My husband and I both were [worked up about it]. We were literally like, 'What?'"
That's not to say the couple haven't weathered their share of ups and downs. "I don't think anything is perfect in life, but [what we have] is perfect for us," she says. "I could not love my husband more. I mean I really love him with all my heart and soul, and he loves me. He's an amazing husband, he's an amazing father, he's an amazing human being."
She continues: "He did not deserve to be sucked into this, and he didn't sign up for this spotlight. I did."
Kyle also reveals her friendships are solid with her castmates—particularly Brandi Glanville, with whom she's feuded in the past. "We're in a good place," she says. "People are like 'Ooh, they're best friends.' We're in a much better place than we were, obviously, but it can't get any worse than it was."
What do you think about the rumors about Kyle and Mauricio's marriage? Tell us in the comments, and be sure to tune in to the season premiere of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills on November 4.


His research has found that socioeconomic class has little to do with determining delinquent behavior, and that young people who are not very attached to their parents or to school are more likely to be delinquent than those who are strongly attached. The theory was developed to conceptualize the full range of sources in society where strain possibly comes from, which Merton's strain theory does not. Search for Criminology and thousands of other words in English definition and synonym dictionary from Reverso. Criminology, which is broadly the study of crime, contains multiple theories of why people commit crimes. Once crime has been redefined, then they are not criminals unless they engage in the proscribed harms of reduction and repression. In 1946, this movement developed into the establishment of the Society for the Advancement of Criminology, which changed its name to the American Society of Criminology in 1957. Criminology is defined as the scientific study of crime, criminal behavior and law enforcement.
The study demonstrated that a black defendant who had killed a white victim was four times more likely to be sentenced to death than was a defendant who had killed a black victim. Feminist criminology emphasizes the subordinate position of women in society. Modern criminology, which began in the 18th century, rejects the explanation that free will is the sole responsibility for criminal conduct. During your classes, you'll study topics like criminal public policy, white-collar crime, corrections and juvenile crime. Lesson Summary The classical theory of criminology starts from a position that people have free will and make a rational choice to commit crimes.
The resulting behavior patterns will often be characterized by more than their share of unilateral action because an individual will have a natural desire to avoid unpleasant rejections, and these unilateral actions especially when antisocial will to an individual's alienation from society. Early efforts to organize criminologists in the United States attracted law enforcement officials and others who were interested in the criminal justice system. As an applied discipline, it has produced findings that have influenced legislators, judges, prosecutors, lawyers, officers, and prison officials, prompting them to better understand crime and criminals and to develop better and more humane sentences and treatments for criminal behavior. In simple communities, social pressure to conform to community standards, usually enforced by social ostracism, was sufficient to control behavior. During this time, criminological societies and journals of criminology began to emerge, and criminologists were conducting observations and experiments based on their theories. London and New York: Tavistock.
He argued that an individual's actual or anticipated failure to achieve positively valued goals, actual or anticipated removal of positively valued stimuli, and actual or anticipated presentation of negative stimuli all result in strain. Thus, they argued that a punishment should fit the crime in such a way that the pain involved in potential punishment would be greater than any pleasure derived from committing the crime. Within the discourse and language of an individual's culture are the narratives that give those communities a description of the world and crime phenomena. Definition of Criminology Criminology is the scientific study of crime, including its causes, responses by law enforcement, and methods of prevention. This can include violent crime where one uses physical force to harm another or take something. However, most of the research found that this was not the case. Journal of Research in Crime and Delinquency.
Proponents of the control theory thought that if individual needs were fulfilled, there would be no need for criminal acts. Robert Merton's Strain Theory stems from a fundamental question that he posed on why the rates of deviance were so different among societies. Criminologist Jobs: From Criminal Investigations to Public Policy Many law enforcement agencies routinely seek out criminologists to profile criminals so as to gain a better understanding of their rationale and what motivates their criminal behavior. Encyclopedia of Criminology and Criminal Justice: 1892—1900. These included Lambert Adolphe Quetelet, 1796— 1874 of France and André Michel Guerry, of Belgium.
Critical criminologists argue that corporate, political, and environmental crime are underreported and inadequately addressed in the current criminal justice system. Criminologists' theories are also often debated in the context of the death penalty and crime control acts among legislators and policymakers. Provides an in-depth examination of contemporary radical criminology, emphasizing economic explanations. Historical Background The critical criminology movement began in the early 1970s , with studies focused primarily on political-economic and class analysis ; ; , and it exhibited a decidedly Marxist orientation ; ;. Individuals who believe in this theory then likely believe that the logical way to reduce crime is to give criminals harsher punishments. A destructive social environment, such as growing up in poverty, for instance, leads to a breakdown in the social structure.
In its day, one of the best books of its type, and it still holds up despite the dated empirical examples. It can also be the larger societal systems of power causing people immediate loss by asserting their authority. Postmodernists point to the emergence of racism, sexism, imperialism and class exploitation resultant of the 'progress' made in the name of modernism's scientific search for truth as proof of its failure. In all editions prior to the 9th, Jeffrey Reiman was the sole author. This can be where an individual is forced to succumb to the will of another, such as human trafficking, or it can be the power structures within a society as that create an environment where some are cut off from the resources needed to develop. Later theorists have modified his approach in an attempt to correct its shortcomings. Often, you'll look at the history and success rates of different law enforcement methods.
One of the most extensive and useful examinations of radical criminology, written at the height of the popularity of this approach. It came into prominence in the early 1970s and attempted to explain contemporary social upheavals. Although the majority did question the validity of the study's findings, it held that the study did not establish that officials in Georgia had acted with discriminatory purpose, and that it did not establish that racial bias had affected the officials' decisions with respect to the death sentence. This movement has largely been a loose, academic effort. Due to the fact that there is no force involved in maintaining these role relationships, there will be individuals who can not, or will not, conform to these societal expectations. Criminologists study criminology in an attempt to better understand what motivates the criminal to act in a criminal manner.
The idea behind this theory is that crime is a product of the deficiencies in social structure. Today, a host of perspectives are associated with critical criminology: radical, political-economic, left-realist, postmodern and semiotic, newsmaking, cultural, critical race, feminist, constitutive, restorative-justice, Marxist, anarchist, convict, and peacemaking see. It therefore suggests that the only way to reduce crime is to limit the interaction of those who have the same biological and psychological traits as much as possible. The strain theory of suicide is based on the theoretical frameworks established by previous sociologists, e. Rather chaos, fragmentation, and complex human variables make up our society, and any theory of criminal causation must adapt to the reality of the chaotic human condition. He stresses the importance of the individual's bond to society in determining conforming behavior.
Agnew believed that Merton's theory was too vague in nature and did not account for criminal activity which did not involve financial gain. This theory also takes a look at criminal behavior as a learned behavior; for example, a younger brother learning how to shoplift from an older sibling, or younger gang members learning criminal behavior from seasoned gang members. Initial efforts of this organization focused upon scientific crime detection, investigation, and identification; crime prevention, public safety, and security; law enforcement administration; administration of criminal justice; traffic administration; and probation. These include studies of the , focusing upon their relations to the criminal, and their role as potential causal agents in crime; juvenile delinquency and its correction; and the media and their relation to crime, including the influence of. He conducted extensive studies on cadavers of executed criminals, coming up with the argument that certain facial features, such as very large jawbones and strong canine teeth, were obvious signs that an individual was or would be a criminal. Although some aspects of criminology as a science are still considered radical, others have developed as standards in the study of crime and criminal justice.


Scale bars provide a visual indication of the size of features, and distance between features, on the map. A scale bar is a line or bar divided into parts. It is labeled with its ground length, usually in multiples of map units, such as tens of kilometers or hundreds of miles. When a scale bar is added to the layout, it is associated with a map frame and maintains a connection to the map inside the frame. If the map scale changes, the scale bar updates to remain correct.
When a scale bar is added to the page, it is automatically associated with the default map frame. If there isn't a map frame on the page, the map frame defaults to <None>. This property is not final and can be modified anytime after the scale bar is inserted.
On the Insert tab, in the Map Surrounds group, click the Scale Bar button . Clicking the top half of the button inserts a default scale bar, while clicking the bottom half displays a gallery of all the scale bar style items in the project. Choose a style, and on the layout view, click and drag to create the scale bar.
If you want to use scale text instead of a scale bar, you can insert dynamic text.
You can modify a scale bar's properties—such as its appearance, size, and position—using the Format tab on the ribbon and the Format Scale Bar pane. For more information about working with the Format tab, see Add and modify graphics and text.
Right-click the scale bar in the Contents pane and choose Properties to open the Format Scale Bar pane and set additional properties for the scale bar.
On the Options tab , you can rename the scale bar, switch its visibility on or off, or lock it so it cannot be selected on the layout.
You can also change the map frame that the scale bar references if you have multiple map frames on your layout. The Map Frame drop-down menu shows the currently selected map frame and all other map frames on the layout.
Map scales are often averages and can vary based on coordinate system, latitude, direction, and map extent. The Compute at center option calculates the map scale using the center of the map frame. This scale can differ from the scale in the map view, which, in many cases, calculates the scale at a location along the equator.
You can change the value for the Units, Label Text, Label Position (Before, After, Above, or Below), and Offset options of a scale bar, and you can customize its symbol using the Symbol option.
The Units group contains controls to change the units the scale bar uses as well as how they're displayed. Units sets the units of the scale bar, Label Position sets the position of the units label relative to the scale bar, and Label controls how the unit value is displayed.
In the Divisions group, you can set division and division values for the scale bar. Certain buttons may be unavailable depending on the current resize behavior. Division Value sets the value of one division, Divisions sets the number of divisions, Subdivisions sets the number of subdivisions, and checking the Show one division before zero check box updates the scale bar to show one division before the zero mark.
Adjust division value—Preserves the number of divisions and tries to preserve the scale bar width by adjusting the division value.
Adjust number of divisions—Preserves the division value and tries to preserve the scale bar width by adjusting the number of divisions.
Adjust divisions and division value—Preserves the number of subdivisions and tries to preserve the scale bar width by adjusting the number of divisions first, then the division values.
Adjust width—Preserves the division value and number of divisions, and adjusts the scale bar width if the map scale changes.
You can also change the referenced scale bar in the Style group by clicking the drop-down menu.
Scale bars have an extra option on the Placement tab in the Format Scale Bar pane called Align to zero. Checking this box causes the zero mark to act as the scale bar's anchor point.
The Properties tab allows you to modify the Numbers, Marks, and Bar settings that make up a scale bar.
The Numbers group contains controls to set the number display properties. Frequency sets the amount of numbers and their location. Position sets their display position relative to the bar. Additional options for number formatting can be set for Rounding, Use fractional characters, Show thousands separator, and Pad with Zeros. Pad with Zeros adds zeros after the decimal to match the Rounding value. Symbol can also be set.
The Marks group contains controls to set the tick mark properties. Frequency sets the amount of ticks and their location. Position sets their display position relative to the bar. Length and Symbol can also be set.
The Bar group allows you to modify the Height option of the bar by changing its increment, and you can modify the Symbol option.
For line-based scale bars, check the Stepped check box and adjust the Height and Symbol options to make them stepped scale bars. Stepped scale bars allow you to more clearly see divisions and subdivisions.
To modify the border, background, or shadow of the scale bar, click the Display tab . Each symbol's color and size can be set. The symbol's Rounding and X & Y gap options can also be modified.

We had a fabulous day celebrating the marriage of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. We came to school dressed as Princesses or Princes. We enjoyed our lunch all together in the classroom and we had lots of fun waving our flags and wearing the crowns we had made.
Look at our fabulous outfits!
We have been learning all about Chinese New Year. We have enjoyed writing Chinese letters and numbers using different tools. We have made Chinese lanterns in the workshop and we have even tried some Chinese food! We also learnt a Chinese Lion dance where we waved ribbons and played instruments. This was lots of fun!
We have enjoyed learning about shapes. We have been painting pictures using different shapes and we went on a shape hunt around our school to see how many shapes we could find in the environment.
The children have settled in well to their new class and daily routines, well done everyone! We have had lots of fun making new friends and exploring our indoor and outdoor areas.
We have been learning all about Harvest in Italy. We have learnt about different festivals of food in Italy and we looked at the work of Italian artist Giuseppe Arcimboldo and his face pictures made from fruit and vegetables. We learnt how to sing 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star' in Italian and we performed this in front of the whole school in our Friday Harvest Assembly.


Metronome I Hear is creating fanfiction and origional fiction.
Who is that who stands there, holding a pen like a sword?
I'm Metronome I Hear, writer of fantasy and horror and wonder all at once. I am a writer, an author, though I haven't published much just yet. Just fanfiction. Just stories. Small ones. Incomplete ones. The ones so many would laugh at, and others would covet for their own.
I love fantasy. I love horror. I love magic and mystery. I love adventure and tragedy. And that is what I write.
I am in the process of writing several stories, some of which I know may not ever see their end. "There are Stars in Your Eyes", is one of the stories I am writing, and one that I am very proud of. It combines many of the things that I love in a story full of imagery and references. It is a story I intend to complete one day, even if it takes years. I've already been writing it for more than two.
Why do you write, young story teller, why speak up?
I started writing when I was very young. I used to have horrible nightmares quite often, and my mother suggested using poetry as a means of dealing with them. I wrote poetry, and then started writing short stories, and eventually I ventured into writing longer tales. I used to go on long walks with my little sister and point at various things and make up stories about them on the spot. I started carrying a little notebook around with me everywhere, filling it up with poetry and snippets of dialogue and imagery until it was quite literately falling apart because I used it so much. Writing, story telling, crafting these tales... It's become something of a way of life for me. It is so ingrained in my being that I cannot imagine a world where I do not write.
When a time came that I was asked what I wanted to do with my life, writing seemed like an obvious answer.
Why are you here, sweet woman who tells these tales?
I am currently writing a novel by the name of "Fallacy of the Void", and I hope that by starting this page, I can generate enough interest in the book that I will be able to have enough money to pay for all the expenses associated with publishing a book.
"Fallacy of the Void" is a story that started out as an attempt to convert "There are Stars in Your Eyes" into original fiction. It has since then taken on a life of its own and become its own story entirely. It follows the tale of Allen Rayburn and Theodore Steele, a pair of young men trying to make their way in a steampunk esc sort of city, full of magic, violence, and intrigue. They run a detective agency that specializes in supernatural phenomena, and end up getting pulled into all sorts of interesting cases as a result.
And what then, would we get if we support your plight?
I can't offer much, I'm afraid. Just sneak peeks. Snippets of writing, behind the scenes, live updates... Things like that. It doesn't sound like much, I know, but that's all I can offer in exchange for your support. I don't have much, that's the reason I've come here in the first place. But your support, no matter how small, helps so, so much, and I am so, so grateful for every bit of it I get.
Thank you for your help. With it, I hope to see this novel published.
It would seem that you have become friends with the fae. Whether that is a good thing or a bad thing, no one knows.
It seems that not even you are immune to the allure of the number three. It's a powerful number, didn't you know? With three thoughts, three fates, three friends... Yes. Three is a powerful number.
It would seem you've been welcomed into a faerie court, where the fae gather to exchange stories of their latest trickery. Are you a trickster like them?
Some heroes have epics written of them, their tales spread far and wide. Others are little known but too a few, but they are perhaps the greatest of heroes of all. Hello hero, for you're certainly mine.
I have not met you. I do not know if I ever will meet you. But let it be known that with this, I have come to love you. A gift like this is not one that will ever be forgotten.
Raise enough money to get "Fallacy of the Void" written, edited, and published.

The most recent Overwatch beta patch brought with it a new map, match highlights, achievements, and most interestingly, weekly brawls modeled after those found in Hearthstone.
• Super Shimada Bros. - Welcome to Hanamura. Genji and Hanzo only. Faster abilities, slower ultimates.
• Mystery Heroes - On death you will respawn as a randomly selected hero.
• Justice Rains From Above! - Pharah and Mercy take to the skies.
• Arcade - More health! Faster ability and ultimate cooldowns! Faster respawn!
• We're All Soldiers Now - Soldier: 76 takes command of the Control Maps.
• High Noon - It's high noon on Route 66. Headhots with McCree only.
• Show Your Support - All support heroes. Limited to 2 of the same per team.
• Tanks A Lot - All tank heroes. Limited to 2 of the same per team.
• Overly Defensive - All defense heroes. Limited to 2 of the same per team.
• Highly Offensive - All offense heroes. Limited to 2 of the same per team.
• Head's Up! - McCree, Genji, Hanzo and Widowmaker. Headshots only.
• The Good, The Bad and The Ugly - McCree, Reaper and Roadhog duke it out.
• MOBA-watch - Unique heroes per team. No hero switching allowed.
• Girl Power - Female heroes only. Sorry boys.
If you're thinking that these weekly brawls are all rather plain compared to the current Hearthstone ones, you would be absolutely correct as Blizzard has intentionally implemented a simple rule set in order to gauge community interested in the brawls as a whole. Its also why they currently rotate every couple of days, rather than weekly as their name would imply.
For more datamined information, specifically about achievements and skins, I'd recommend you head over to this Overpwn post as it contains a list of some rather nifty looking skin previews, with my favorite being the one you see below.
And if you're looking to try out Overwatch for yourself, but haven't invested the necessary skill points in to luck, the open beta will start on May 5th and last till May 9th, with an extra few days given to those that pre-order.


Deciding which materials to use for a particular application is often based on the material's properties, performance, suitability for use in the given operational environment, compatibility with other materials and cost. In recent years there has been a shift to consider designing materials with the properties needed for a particular application.
A computational approach can give a large insight into these questions.
Optimising the composition of a material to give the required microstructure in terms of amounts of phases formed, e.g. precipitation hardening phases, while balancing this against other property requirements.
For Duplex materials, identifying chemistries that give the required microstructure.
For joining dissimilar materials, predicting the phases that could form at the interface.
Predicting the long term stability of a material, the formation of life limiting phases and corrosion products under operational conditions.
Considering reactions between a material and its containment, e.g. liquid – crucible reactions in a ladle.
For dissimilar joins (for example, a coating and substrate, or two alloys joined together) predicting the diffusion kinetics and driving forces that give rise to material interactions at the interface and thus predicting phase changes, the growth kinetics of the phases formed, the changes in bulk alloy compositions due to the diffusion process, etc.


There are now millions of refugees worldwide, people forced from their homes seeking refuge from violence or persecution in other countries. These people face different challenges to resettlement and acculturation than voluntary immigrants. They may arrive after witnessing or experiencing horrific events and they carry that trauma with them. Moreover, as involuntary immigrants they still long for a home they can no longer return to. To make matters worse, many of these refugees find themselves the target of hatred or hostility in their new homes. Helping them to achieve a successful adjustment to their new homes and new lives is the impetus behind this project.
This project is a handbook to train volunteer mentors who work with Afghan women refugees. The handbook provides an overview of the historical and cultural background of Afghanistan so that the volunteers know more about the women with whom they are working. It also provides information about the incidence and impact of trauma in refugee populations. Finally, it provides a series of eight one-hour lessons in teaching life skills and some English. English, although a necessary component, is not emphasized in these lessons as it is important for the women to begin to feel comfortable in their new homes and lives, so they will be ready to tackle a new language and to successfully acculturate.

Q: Сan't get data from Firestore, no errors I'm trying to get data from the Firestore. The code below, mostly taken from the docs doesn't get anything from the database, although writing data works without issue.
Code from fragment:
override fun onViewCreated(view: View, savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
    super.onViewCreated(view, savedInstanceState)
    init()
}

private fun init() {
    db = FirebaseFirestore.getInstance()
    mFirestoreRef = db.collection("users").document(USER_ID).collection("deals")
    val viewModel = ViewModelProvider(this).get(DealsViewModel::class.java)
    viewModel.retriveData(mFirestoreRef)
    recyclerView = binding.rcView
    adapter = TradeNoteAdapter()
    recyclerView.adapter = adapter
    var notes = viewModel.getAllNotes()
    adapter.setList(notes)
}

Code from ViewModel:
import android.widget.Toast
import androidx.lifecycle.ViewModel
import com.google.firebase.firestore.CollectionReference
import space.timur.tradenotefirebase.APP
import space.timur.tradenotefirebase.model.TradeNoteModel

class DealsViewModel : ViewModel() {

private var notes: ArrayList<TradeNoteModel> = ArrayList()

fun retriveData(firestoreReference: CollectionReference){
    firestoreReference.get()
        .addOnSuccessListener { documents ->
            for(document in documents){
                var note = document.toObject(TradeNoteModel::class.java)
                notes.add(note)
            }
        }.addOnFailureListener{ e->
            Toast.makeText(APP, e.message, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
        }
}

fun getAllNotes(): ArrayList<TradeNoteModel> {
    return notes
}

}

A: That's not how you should deal with Firestore. All Firebase APIs are asynchronous, so there is no way you can simply return notes, as a result of a method. To solve this, you can use a custom callback as explained in this answer, or since you're using Kotlin, you might also consider using Kotlin Coroutines, as explained in this answer.
Besides that, I highly recommend you read this article:

*

*How to read data from Cloud Firestore using get()?
Where I have explained four ways in which you can deal with Firestore.


In the reaction #2H_2S+SO_2 -> 3S+2H_2O#, what has been oxidized and what is the oxidizing agent?
Sulfide has been oxidized, and sulfur dioxide is the oxidizing agent.
This is an example of a comproportionation reaction in which sulfur compounds, in different oxidation states with respect to the sulfur, undergoes electron transfer to give a elemental sulfur (which is zerovalent).

Allen Ginsberg on William Blake ("The Grey Monk")
February 12, 2019 October 24, 2021 Simon Pettet
AG: There's another poem on that same theme, "The Grey Monk", which I'd also like to sing because it's still on the theme of the French Revolution. And sometimes what happens after revolution. Do you know where that (is)? Can you find that, Pete (sic)? The "Grey Monk" ? do you know where that is? – "I die I die the Mother said." That might be in your Erdman. Do you know where that is? Well, let's see.
Student: (Page) four eighty.
AG: Four eighty? Lets see what version they have there. Yeah. Why don't we use this one? This version. This is ten years later, 1800. "The Grey Monk". It's on page four eighty. It begins, for those who have a different edition, "I die I die the Mother said." It's a description of Blake's role when God commanded his hand to write in the studious hours of deep midnight. So it's Blake's version, in the middle.. or that's the way I interpret it, that Blake is now commenting on his own prophetic role.
At the end of "The Grey Monk" there's a reversal where the violent rebels become the dictators, and reverse roles. Before that there's a statement of pacifistic intent in that this is the only way Blake can see to get out of the fix of violence and counter-violence, and the beginnings of his statement of the political set-up, what's the suffering of the weak, among the widows and the suffering of the populace. So this is ten years later, he's looking back on his radicalism of 1789, of the time of the composition of "The French Revolution"; of the poem we read.
"I die I die the Mother said/ My Children die for lack of Bread/ What more has the merciless Tyrant/ The Monk sat down on the Stony Bed/ The blood red ran from the Grey Monks side/ His hands & feet were wounded wide/ His Body bent his arms & knees/ Like to the roots of ancient trees/ His eye was dry no tear could flow/ A hollow groan first spoke his woe/ He trembled & shudderd upon the Bed/ At length with a feeble cry he said/ When God commanded this hand to write/ In the studious hours of deep midnight/ He told me the writing I wrote should prove/ The Bane of all that on Earth I lovd/ My Brother starvd between two Walls/ His Childrens Cry my Soul appalls/ I mockd at the wrack & grinding chain/ My bent body mocks their torturing pain/ Thy Father drew his sword in the North/ With his thousands strong he marched forth/ Thy Brother has armd himself in Steel/ To avenge the wrongs thy Children feel/ But vain the Sword & vain the Bow/ They never can work Wars overthrow/ The Hermits Prayer & the Widows tear/ Alone can free the World from fear/ For a Tear is an Intellectual Thing/ And a Sigh is the Sword of an Angel King/ And the bitter groan of the Martyrs woe/ Is an Arrow from the Almighties Bow/ The hand of Vengeance found the Bed/ To which the Purple Tyrant fled/ The iron hand crushd the Tyrants head/ And became a Tyrant in his stead./ I die I die the Mother said/ My Children die for lack of Bread/ What more has the merciless Tyrant/ The Monk sat down on the Stony Bed."
So it's like a cycle. A cyclical thing, which you'll get in an even stranger poem, "The Mental Traveller", which is one of the most incomprehensible poems in all of Blake, which may be the same reversals or revolution growing old and then turning into custom, or revolution growing old and turning into authority. And authority growing old and giving birth to revolution. Or a psychological process in which the mind becomes solidified and full of reason and matured and then breaks down under its own solidity and maturity and rigidification and so gives birth to nervous breakdown and inspiration and renewed visionary understanding, which then becomes conceptualized and rigidified and made into religion, with priests, and then turns again into chaos, which gives birth to more revolution.
Student: Does that happen with the 'Sixties, or is that going to happen do you think?
AG: Well, I was just explaining those elements of it which did happen in the 'Sixties. I wouldn't want to stereotype it to say that it's happened with the 'Sixties, because it's too much of a stereotype. I would say that it's happened with the CIA version of it. The CIA version of the "Sixties is that, definitely. That is, the CIA version is, people went too far and now they've got to come back to normal. You know, we've all heard that one from Time magazine, or CBS, or the New York Times. That's one version of it. That's, like, one version of it. The other.. Another version is.. this invitation, yes. Here's the other version of it. The other version – here's a living example – but a very complicated version, nothing too.. a perfect poetic justice, with monarchy and everything like that, marble walls, "The Marriage of Heaven and Hell" – exactly what you were asking. It's an invitation to a walk to celebrate the Marriage of Heaven and Hell. -with all of Blake's paradoxes, with all of his possible paradoxes. You have to figure it out like you figure out a Blake poem.
Peter Orlovsky: Here, Allen (passes him an announcement)
AG: You've got to figure it out like you figure out "The Marriage of Heaven and Hell" Have you got one?
"The Regents Club requests the pleasure of your company at a dance for the benefit of the Naropa Institute. Music by the Boulder Bassoon Band. Five Dollars per person – semi-formal." – Make what you want out of that.
On the other hand, make what you want out of Blake. Or make what you want out of….
[Audio for the above can be heard here, beginning at approximately eight-and-three-quarter minutes in and concluding approximately eighteen minutes in]

I believe, but can't prove, that human language evolved from a combination of gesture and innate vocalizations, via the concomitant evolution of mirror neurons, and that birds will provide the best model for language evolution.
Work on mirror neurons over the past decade has provided intriguing evidence, although no solid proof, for the gestural origins of speech. What can be called the mirror neuron hypothesis(MNH) suggests that only a small re-organization of the nonhuman primate brain was needed to create the wiring that underlies speech acquisition/learning. What is missing from the MNH is a model of the development of language from speech; it is here that I believe that a model based on avian vocalizations is most valuable.
First, some background. Passerine birds can be divided into two groups: the oscines, who learn their songs, and the sub-oscines, who have a limited number of what seem to be innately-specified songs; the former have a well-defined neural architectures and mechanisms for song acquisition; the latter lack brain structures for song acquisition, although they obviously have brain and vocal tract structures for producing song. The sub-oscines, in parallel with nonhuman primates, often use various activities or gestures (posture, numbers of repetitions of songs, feather erectness, types of flights, etc) to provide additional information about the meaning of their utterances. W. John Smith, for example, can predict a flycatchers actions by the combination of posture, flight, and singing pattern he observes. The songbirds, like human children learning language, will not learn their vocalizations if deafened, and need to hear, babble and practice songs before attaining adult competence; very recent work by Rose et al. demonstrate that even the syntax of their song is learned through early exposure to paired phrases, which are then combined to create the adult vocalizations. Such data, demonstrating how sparrows integrate information about temporally-related events and how they use that information to develop sequential vocal behavior, is a viable model for human syntax acquisition.
Now, no one knows if any birds have any mirror neurons, and how their mirror neurons would function if they did exist; some neural data on responses to self-song provide intriguing hints but go no further. I predict (a) the existence of such neurons in oscines and (b) that such neurons will have a robust role in oscine song development, but (c) that only more primitively-functioning mirror neurons (akin to the differences separating monkey and human MNs) will be found in sub-oscines.
Now, what about the so-called missing link between learned and unlearned vocal behavior? No one has found such a missing link in the primate line. But Donald Kroodsma has recently discovered a flycatcher (a supposedly sub-oscine bird) that apparently learns its song. The song is simple, but has variations among groups of birds that constitute dialects. No one yet knows if these birds have brain mechanisms for song learning, or what these mechanisms might be. But I predict that Kroodsma's flycatchers will have mirror neurons that function in intermediate manner, between those of the oscines and sub-oscines, and will provide a model for the missing link between nonhuman primate and human communication.

Christmas Facts Wrap
Krampus, the Christmas Demon
Santa Claus has long been the symbol of Christmas, bringing joy and presents to all the good girls and boys. But if you are child in Germany, Austria, and other parts of the Alps region, there may be something much more dark, mischievous, and grumpy hidden in the shadows next to dear old St. Nick. That something is Krampus, the Christmas demon. A beast-like creature with fangs, fur, and horns, Krampus announces his presence with loud bells and terrorizes the kids who have been naughty during the year. While Santa gives the good ones gifts and joy, Krampus gives the… (more)
The Anonymous Publishing of "The Night Before Christmas," and Other Interesting Christmas Staple Origins
On December 23, 1823, the poem A Visit from St. Nicholas, better known today as The Night Before Christmas was first published. The poem first appeared in the New York Sentinel with no author listed, having been delivered for publication by a friend of Clement Clarke Moore, who was a professor of Greek and Oriental literature and who is generally considered today to have been the author. Before this poem was published, traditions surrounding St. Nicholas were numerous with no real set, near universally accepted idea of "Santa Claus" like we have today. Elements of the Santa tradition that ended up being popularized by this poem include: the names and number… (more)
Eating Kentucky Fried Chicken is a Christmas Tradition for Many Japanese
So how exactly did Christmas, the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ, become synonymous with a bucket of fried chicken in the land of the rising sun? Well for one, Christmas wasn't really celebrated at all historically in Japan and has only relatively recently been adopted. The Japanese predominantly followed the Buddhism and Shinto religions, so Christmas was essentially adopted from the West and holds no religious significance to many Japanese, even today. In fact, Christianity was actually banned throughout Japan in the 1600s and continued to be so until the mid 1800s. However, during this period, a small enclave group of… (more)
The Christmas Truce
On the whole, people don't generally like to kill one another. Most wars throughout history are often more about the agendas of the state's leaders than the soldiers on the field actually inherently feeling any real malice towards those they are asked to try to kill or otherwise defeat. Few events in history illustrate this as well as a remarkable episode that took place during WWI when, despite the orders of their commanding officers and leaders, the soldiers threw aside their weapons, got out of the trenches and had a make-shift Christmas party with those that just hours before they'd been trying to kill. This momentous event has become known as The Christmas Truce. Leading up to this impromptu truce in 1914, Pope Benedict XV had asked that the various governments participating… (more)
5 Bizarre Christmas Traditions
Christmas around the globe is celebrated with many customs and traditions. Often the traditions are similar with only slight variations from country to country, but some Christmas traditions are truly bizarre. 1) In the nine days leading up to Christmas Day in Venezuela, the people attend an early morning mass. This may seem like a pretty normal tradition, but in the busy city of Caracas, on Christmas they skate to mass on roller skates. Firecrackers pop to wake the citizens, who put on their skates for the pre-dawn trip to mass… (more)
The "X" in "Xmas" Doesn't Take the "Christ" Out of "Christmas"
Myth: "Xmas" is a non-religious name / spelling for "Christmas". It turns out, "Xmas" is not a non-religious version of "Christmas". The "X" is actually indicating the Greek letter "Chi", which is short for the Greek , meaning "Christ". So "Xmas" and "Christmas" are equivalent in every way except their lettering. In fact, although writing guides such as those issued by the… (more)
Brenda Lee was Just 13 Years Old When She Recorded the Christmas Staple "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree"
Brenda Mae Tarpley (a.k.a. Brenda Lee and "Little Miss Dynamite") was born to an extremely poor family in December of 1944. Things took a turn for the worse when her father, a onetime semi-pro baseball player and carpenter, died in a construction accident in May of 1953 when she was 8 years old. Within two years of this happening, the 10 year old girl started taking over her deceased father's role as the primary bread winner of the family, with frequent performances on various TV and radio shows, as well as in record shops- then her big break happened when she sang in front of future Country Music Hall of… (more)
Why We Kiss Under the Mistletoe
If you've ever wondered why we kiss under the mistletoe and how the plant got that strange name, well, wonder no more. The name for mistletoe derives the fact that mistletoe tends to spring from bird droppings that have fallen on trees, with the seeds having passed through the digestive tract of the birds. Thus, the plant was given the name "misteltan" in Old English from "mistel", meaning "dung", and "tan", the plural of "ta", meaning "twig". Hence, "mistletoe" is another way to essentially say "dung twig". Not only is mistletoe a dung twig, but most varieties of this plant are partial parasites, being unable to sustain themselves on their own photosynthesis, so they leach what they need from the particular tree they are growing on. Some varieties of mistletoe, such as the North America Arceuthobium pussilum, are full parasites in that they… (more)
The Song "Jingle Bells" Is Thought to Have Been Written for a Thanksgiving Sunday School Program
ingle Bells was originally called One Horse Open Sleigh and was written by James Pierpont sometime between 1853 and 1857. At the time, Pierpont was working as an organist and music director in Savannah, Georgia. Pierpont was hired on by his brother, John Pierpont Jr. who was the Reverend there, after James' business in San Francisco burned down. It was here that he composed One Horse Open Sleigh, reportedly for a Thanksgiving program. He later publicly released the song through Ditson and Co. of Boston in 1857, but it wasn't terribly popular. Pierpont tried again to release it in 1859 under the new title Jingle Bells, with it once again flopping. However, from there, it did slowly… (more)
It's a Wonderful Life was Based on a "Christmas Card" Short Story by Philip Van Doren Stern
It's a Wonderful Life was based on a "Christmas Card" short story by Philip Van Doren Stern, which was originally sent out to around 200 of Stern's friends and family in December of 1943. The short story was called The Greatest Gift and was inspired by a dream Stern had one night in the 1930s. Stern, already an accomplished author at this point, albeit a historical author, then proceeded to write the 4,000 word short story about a man named George who was going to commit suicide by jumping off a bridge… (more)
The Origin of the Candy Cane
First, let's start by dispelling a somewhat popular myth that more or less goes like this: "The white base color of the candy cane symbolizes Jesus' purity; the red stripes symbolize Jesus' blood when he died on the cross; and the J shape was chosen to represent the J in Jesus." While that makes a great candy cane origin story, there is about as much evidence to back this up as there is supporting the myth that Mr. Rogers was once a sniper in the U.S. military and always wore long sleeve sweaters to cover all the tattoos on his arms and chest, one for each… (more)
The Song "Silver Bells" was Originally Called "Tinkle Bell"
To make matters slightly more humorous, Silver Bells originally appeared in the The Lemon Drop Kid, a 1951 film starring Bob Hope. Needless to say, these two things would have surely resulted in the song getting a few chuckles, had composer Jay Livingston's wife, Lynne Gordon, not stepped in. Said Ray Evans (one of the two composers of Silver Bells, along with Jay Livingston- Livingston writing the music and Evans… (more)
The Guy Who Did the Voice for Tony the Tiger also Sang "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch"
The guy who did the voice for Kellogg's Tony the Tiger also sang the iconic "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch" song in Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas. The man was Thurl Ravenscroft. Ravenscroft originally went unintentionally uncredited in the film. Because of this, a common misconception… (more)
What Was Wrong With Tiny Tim?
In Charles Dickens' holiday classic, A Christmans Carol, the character of Tiny Tim dies in one timeline, but is saved by Ebenezer's Scrooge's charity in another. Although Dickens scholars have posited a range of maladies that can either cause death or be alleviated by throwing money at it, a recent study has led to the conclusion that he likely suffered from both tuberculosis (TB) and rickets, as you'll soon see. In the well-loved Christmas tale (it has never been out-of-print since it was first published in 1843), the protagonist (so to speak) is Ebenezer Scrooge, the miserly boss of Bob Cratchit… (more)
Poinsettias Are Not Poisonous
That poinsettias are not poisonous, contrary to popular belief. The belief that they are poisonous originally seems to have started around 1919 when a two year old child of a U.S. Army officer died after supposedly eating poinsettia leaves. The poinsettia leaves were blamed for the death, even though there was never any actual evidence that the poinsettia leaves had anything to do with the child dying, according to The American Society of Florists… (more)
What is Eggnog Made Of?
Traditionally, yes, eggnog included raw eggs. However, some countries today, such as the United States, severely restrict the use of raw egg in products, due to health concerns; thus, most commercial eggnog does not include raw eggs. (The FDA actually limits the egg yolk solids in eggnog to less than 1%.) You can, however, buy pasteurized eggs first before making your own eggnog (or partially cook the raw egg in milk to make a custard), but eggnog connoisseurs tend to frown upon this as it supposedly alters the flavor and consistency of the final product. As to what typical ingredients are included in eggnog, these are: milk; cream; sugar; some sort of an alcohol like rum… (more)
The Real Life "George Bailey" Who Founded Bank of Italy which Became Bank of America
The man was A.P. Giannini who was said to be who Capra modeled the character of George Bailey as well as the bank president in Capra's 1932 movie, American Madness, after. At the age of 14, Giannini left school and began working with his step father, Lorenzo Scatena, in the produce industry as a produce broker. By the time he was 31, he was able to sell much of his interest in this company to his employees and had planned to retire. However, one year later, he was asked to join the Columbus Savings & Loan Society, which was a small bank in North Beach, California. Once he joined up, he… (more)
12 Christmas Traditions From Around The World
In Russia and Ukraine, Christmas is celebrated on the 7th of January and not the 25th of December like in most other countries. This unusual date is because the Orthodox church uses the old "Julian" calendar for religious celebration days. In the traditional Russian Christmas, special prayers are said and people fast, sometimes for 39 days, until January 6th (Christmas Eve), when the first evening star in appears in the sky. Then begins a twelve course supper in honor of each of the twelve apostles… (more)


And I thank God for forgiveness.
I believe in Jesus Christ as my Lord and savior. I believe that Jesus died for my sins, and rose again, and that's my belief. I still don't know what 'Christian' means. I'm a follower of Christ, but I keep making a whole bunch of mistakes. And I thank God for forgiveness.

Varela linked with Serie A loan move.
Serie A outfit Torino are keen to take Manchester United full back Guillermo Varela on loan until the end of the season, reports in Italy suggest.
The Uruguayan defender sealed his move to Old Trafford during the summer in a move which was most likely instigated under Sir Alex Ferguson's regime, after the youngster impressed the club during trials last season.
The 20-year-old provided stellar performances for Warren Joyce's Under-21 side in the first half of the season before he was granted leave after his parents were involved in a car crash in his homeland at the end of 2013.
Reports in the Italian media suggest Varela will return to Europe at the end of the month where he will complete a loan move to Torino, who are themselves enjoying an impressive campaign that sees them sat seventh in Serie A.
The defender was linked with possible loan moves to Argentine giants Boca Juniors and his former club Atletico Penarol earlier in the season. But Italian newspaper La Stampa suggest Torino are now favourites to secure the youngster's signature, and hope to strike a deal that will see the player make a loan switch with the option for a permanent deal in the summer.
Reports in the Uruguayan media earlier this month however suggested that both Varela and United were keen to secure a loan move back to Uruguay to allow the youngster to remain close to his parents following their accident, but there has yet to be any confirmation of any deal.
United paid Penarol £2.4 million for Varela during the summer transfer window as he became the first official signing of the Moyes era. After impressing for Uruguay in last summer's Under-20 World Cup – where he started seven games as his country finished runners up – he found a regular starting place in the under-21 side but has yet to be included in a first team squad.
Varela was the first of three signings in what was a quiet summer at Old Trafford and was later joined by Marouane Fellaini and Swiss teenager Saidy Janko.
David Moyes has already sanctioned a loan move for Anderson, who has joined Fiorentina until the end of the season, while Fabio da Silva has been heavily linked with a temporary swich to Bundesliga side Freiburg or Cardiff City.

Q: Understanding the regex from a jQuery get url parameter function I have searched stack overflow for a Javascript solution (in the jQuery library) to get the URL parameter.
I have this function which does it smoothly:
// get the firstname value from the myurl - http://mysite.com?firstname=dany&lastname=dughy

var myurl = $("#gup").data("url");
var name = "firstname";

function gup(name, myurl) {
    name = name.replace(/[\[]/,"\\\[").replace(/[\]]/,"\\\]");
    var regexS = "[\\?&]"+name+"=([^&#]*)";
    var regex = new RegExp( regexS );
    var results = regex.exec(myurl);
    if( results == null )
        return "";
    else
        return results[1];
}

I understand how it works, you set a regex and than execute that regex and retrieve the results in an array.
Can someome please explain the regex to me? I can't seem to understand it.
Ty

A: Let's call the function with gup("NAME","http://domain.com?NAME=value&name2=value2").
function gup(name, myurl) {
    name = name.replace(/[\[]/,"\\\[").replace(/[\]]/,"\\\]");

This line escapes square brakets so it works nicely in the regex query, making "[]" into "\\\[\\\]".
    var regexS = "[\\?&]"+name+"=([^&#]*)";

Now the name is parsed to work in the regex. It will look like "[\\?&]NAME=([^&#]*)".
"[\\?&]" means find either ? or &. Because ? is a special character, to match a ? in text you need to escape it like \?, so this regex would become [\?&] but in javascript strings you need to escape the \ again. So [\?&] becomes "[\\?&]" in a string.
=([^&#]*) matches a literal = followed by any character except an & or #.
    var regex = new RegExp( regexS );
    var results = regex.exec(myurl);
    if( results == null )
        return "";
    else
        return results[1];

Returns the captured group, which is at position 1. Position 0 is the whole match.
}

Function call returns value

A: Let's say that you're searching for firstname, then the regexp becomes: [\\?&]firstname=([^&#]*). Now, what it means is: [\\?&] search for any of characters \, ? or & that has firstname= afterwards, and [^&#]* = anything but & or # characters afterwards


I read a very good summary of SharePoint 2010 Search Features by Agnes Molnar on End User SharePoint blog. Take a look and make an opinion if this is useful or not. SharePoint is making a lot of noise in enterprise communities and PLM companies put huge bucks on the development of applications dependent on SharePoint capabilities.
Good topic Oleg. Yes, the combination of PLM and MS SharePoint addresses the problem of having a huge amount of product information hanging out MS Excel, largely inaccessible to and unsearchable by the vast majority of people engaged in product development and supporting business processes. Standalone PLM solutions are great tools for workers deeply engaged in product development who are fortunate enough to have access to those solutions and their information. PLM solutions that integrate with SharePoint's collaboration, search, content management, project management and reporting capabilities extend the business value of PLM in two important scenarios. First, they provide an easier path to PLM tools/info/processes for SMBs and departments in larger enterprises lacking access to other PLM solutions. Second, they provide access and collaboration with social tools to structured product development information and processes for a much broader segment of the workforce at companies with standalone PLM solutions. SharePoint-based PLM solutions extend, rather than replace standalone PLM solutions.
Good topic Oleg. Integration PLM and SharePoint value add to PLM as well as SharePoint. Majority Organizations use both solutions now days and 90% times it is not integrated. PLM solutions can defiantly take advantage of SharePoint content management features, discussions boards, poll, project management, quality management features.
SharePoint and PLM are a natural fit for each other, in my opinion, but you raise the important (sticky) issues. The products are similar enough that SharePoint can be a threat to PLM (if the PLM vendor has ambitions of controlling enterprise-wide access to product data). But from the customer's perspective, SharePoint can be a huge enabler for the organization, making PLM available in "bite size" chunks. And because of SharePoint's unique collaborative features, it adds value on top of making PLM data more accessible. We've just announced a project we've been working on with Microsoft, Aras, and Actify to showcase exactly this concept. You can read more about the solution here, access the source code here, and get my further thoughts on how SharePoint and PLM can work together here.

Amanda and Andrew definitely gave us an amazing preview of southern hospitality. The young Georgian couple even set us up with some backwoods contacts to give us the true deep-south experience. Can't wait to meet you Eddy.
After an air force base tour and a greasy lunch. We crossed Chesapeake bay into Maryland, and its capital Annapolis. Our eleventh capital.
The capitol building was fun. There was even a senator candidate telling us to be quiet on our right. A reporter named Josh met us there too. Josh has an amazing skill of sribbling illegible green lines on paper while constantly staring into your eyes. Apparently it's notes. That's what I call going straight to the source.
They passed us off to Kai at the Maryland capitol building and we headed towards Baltimore.
sorry i missed ur interview on 98rock,... hope u got the limo and strippers mickey promised,... tom from pasadena,..."RAVENS RULE"
Oh, no! You guys are tourists! I'll let you in on a secret that separates a true Marylander from a tourist: We call it the Chesapeake Bay, the Chesapeake, or simply the bay.
To prevent a future faux pas, the locals refer to the capital of our country as D.C. or the District, not Washington.
Good luck on the rest of your journey! I'll be keeping track on your web site!
you were in annapolis and you didn't visit the Naval Academy?


Saint Paul (Minnesota, USA), January 3, 2012 – Cellectis plant sciences, the plant genome engineering company and subsidiary of Cellectis (Alternext: ALCLS), today announced that it has signed a research and commercial agreement with Bayer CropScience AG, a subsidiary of Bayer AG and a leader in crop protection, non-agricultural pest control, seeds and plant biotechnology, to collaborate on the use of meganucleases in plants. The aim of this agreement is to develop commercial products for the agricultural seed markets using new breeding techniques such as gene stacking and targeted mutagenesis, two approaches key to the development of agricultural products.
Cellectis and Bayer CropScience have collaborated since 2006 in the area of plant genome engineering under a research and evaluation agreement to assess the value for commercial applications of the Meganuclease technology. Following the successful evaluation of the use of meganucleases in plant cells, the companies have decided to extend the partnership into a framework research and commercial agreement. Under the terms of the new agreement, Cellectis plant sciences will provide Bayer CropScience with custom-designed meganucleases for plant genomes, to introduce targeted modifications to selected genes and genomes.
