Q: Is there nontrivial structure to forcing axioms? Suppose that $\cal P$ is a class of forcings, we denote by $\operatorname{FA}_\kappa(\cal P)$ the statement that whenever $\Bbb P\in\cal P$, $\gamma<\kappa$, and $\{D_\alpha\mid\alpha<\gamma\}$ are dense open sets in $\Bbb P$, then there is a filter $G\subseteq\Bbb P$ such that $G\cap D_\alpha\neq\varnothing$ for all $\alpha<\gamma$.
The usual examples are Martin's Axiom where $\kappa=2^{\aleph_0}$, and $\cal P$ is the class of ccc forcings; or the Proper Forcing Axiom where $\cal P$ is the class of proper forcings and $\kappa=2^{\aleph_0}$ (which then implies $\kappa=\aleph_2$).
Let's focus on subclasses of ccc forcings.
We can force Martin's Axiom for only $\sigma$-centered forcings, or other subclasses, and there is a clear hierarchy here. For example,
$$\operatorname{FA}_{2^{\aleph_0}}(\textrm{ccc})\implies\operatorname{FA}_{2^{\aleph_0}}(\sigma\textrm{-centered})\implies\operatorname{FA}_{2^{\aleph_0}}(\sigma\textrm{-linked}).$$
Of course, there are many, many other subclasses that one can consider.

Question. Is there any work on separating the various forcing axioms for subclasses of ccc forcings? For example, is it consistent that $\operatorname{FA}_{\aleph_2}(\sigma\textrm{-linked})$ holds, but only $\operatorname{FA}_{\aleph_1}(\sigma\textrm{-centered})$ holds, and $\operatorname{FA}_{\aleph_1}(\textrm{ccc})$ fails altogether?

(And I cannot stress this enough, the choice of subclasses was entirely arbitrary, and any other subclasses of ccc forcings are of interest here.)

A: This paper seems to be the sort of thing you're looking for:

J. H. Barnett, "Weak variants of Martin's Axiom," Fundamenta Mathematicae 141 (1992), pp. 61-73.

The abstract is pretty short and to the point: A hierarchy of weak variants of Martin's Axiom is extended and shown to be strict.
There is a nice picture on page 2 showing the hierarchy of axioms considered in the paper. At the top of the author's hierarchy is MA, and at the bottom is MA(sigma-centered).
Along the same lines, there is some related material on page 339 of Kunen's newer Set Theory book (the one from 2011). He defines MAK to mean that MA holds for all posets with Property K, and he defines MAP to mean that MA holds for all posets with $\aleph_1$ as a pre-calibre. He then proves

Theorem: There is a (finite-support iterated) forcing notion that forces MAK and MAP, but does not kill Suslin trees.

In particular, if you iterate over a ground model with Suslin trees then MA must fail in the extension, even though MAK and MAP both hold.

A: Another reference is the paper "On partial orderings having precalibre-$\aleph_1$ and fragments of Martin's axiom" by Bagaria-Shelah.

Q: Accent marks (grave marks) do not show in my database SELECT Hello I have problem with my accent like (é)
here I'm connecting :
$pdo = new PDO('mysql:host=local;dbname=noob', 'noob', '');
    #Set Error Mode to ERRMODE_EXCEPTION.
    $pdo->setAttribute( PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION);
    $stmt = $pdo->prepare('Select * from taches ');
    $stmt->execute();

here I show my information
            <label title="Selectdimanche"> <select title="Selectdimanche" id="Selectdimanche" name="Selectdimanche">

                    <?php

                        $stmt->execute();
                        while($row = $stmt->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC)) {
                            echo ' <option title="';
                            echo $row['tacName'];
                            echo '">';
                            echo $row['tacId'];
                            echo '</option>'."\n";
                         $task = array();

                        }
                    ?>
</select>
</label>

I use notepadd++ and my encode is utf-8 in my header i have
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />

but when I show my information i have a blackbox  like this how i could show my accents?

A: Try to use this:
$pdo = new PDO('mysql:host=local;dbname=noob', 'noob', '',
    array( PDO::MYSQL_ATTR_INIT_COMMAND => "SET NAMES utf8")
);

A: $pdo = new PDO('mysql:host=local;dbname=noob', 'noob', '');

You're missing the charset attribute. You want:
$pdo = new PDO('mysql:host=local;dbname=noob;charset=utf8', 'noob', '');

There are great challenges to accessing healthy foods in many of New York's neighborhoods, and vast disparities in diet-related diseases. Building on previous giving to healthy foods through successful initiatives such as the NYC Green Carts, the Illumination Fund made a five-year, $15 million commitment to healthy food initiatives across New York City.
The Healthy Food & Community Change initiative supports novel strategies to increase access, availability, affordability, and knowledge of healthy foods and promote healthy choices, specifically targeting programs in high-need neighborhoods, creating hubs of activities and community engagement. Click here for an infographic to understand more about the initiative, and here for the first annual report highlighting progress to date.
The foundation has dedicated support to a portfolio of grantees, which was based on thorough research on community needs, existing infrastructure, programs and opportunity in New York.
Illumination Grant: City Harvest's Healthy Neighborhoods Initiative is a multi-layered approach to increasing healthy food access and consumption by providing free produce to adults and children, offering hands-on nutrition education and cooking classes, and helping local stores create or expand fresh produce sections.
Illumination Grant: The Laurie M. Tisch Illumination Fund was the City's partner in launching and growing the NYC Green Cart Initiative to bring fresh produce to underserved neighborhoods.
Illumination Grant: LISC New York City partners with neighborhood-based community development corporations to integrate access to healthy and affordable food into every aspect of the CDC's comprehensive community development work, conducting resident outreach, hosting nutrition education and cooking classes, creating new or improved healthy food outlets, and generating food-sector jobs.
Illumination Grant: With Wholesome Wave and the New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation, the Illumination Fund launched the Fruit and Vegetable Prescription Program (FVRx) pilot in NYC, a progressive program enabling doctors to write prescriptions for fruits and vegetables for at-risk patients redeemable at local farmers markets.
Good Neighbor Grant: Wellness in the Schools operates in public school cafeterias and classrooms to promote healthy eating through Cook for Kids, a program that trains culinary school graduates to partner with cafeteria staff to prepare daily meals and educate families about the importance of eating healthy food.
Illumination Grant: With the launch of the Laurie M. Tisch Center for Food, Education & Policy, the pathbreaking work of Teachers College entered a new era to expand impact nationwide through education and training of nutritionists, health and nutrition advocacy, program development in schools and communities, and food policy development.

Needed Changes Today 4 comments
Americans have always hated bureaucracy. One of the charges against King George III in the Declaration of Independence was that he "has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people and eat out their substance." Who wants to be ruled by a national DMV? It is costly, inefficient, and, well, bureaucratic.
"It is not by the consolidation, or concentration of powers, but their distribution, that good government is effected," Jefferson warned. "Were we directed from Washington when to sow, and when to reap, we should soon want bread."
The Founders certainly understood the need for the good government administration, but the administration was subordinate to the president, and thus indirectly responsible to the people through election. In Federalist 68, Alexander Hamilton (who liked government more than almost any other founder) called it a "heresy" to suggest that of all forms of government "that which is best administered is best."
The United States has been moving down the path to socialized government in fits and starts for over a century, but the real shift and expansion occurred under the Great Society and its progeny. The expansion of regulatory activities on a society-wide scale in the 1960s and 1970s led to vast new centralizing authority in the federal government, such that today the primary function of government is to regulate. The modern Congress is a supervisory body exercising oversight of the true lawmakers — administrative policymakers. It is in this model Americans are trapped today. Everything — from financial restructuring to environmental regulation to immigration reform — must be dealt with comprehensively, meaning centrally and uniformly, based on the best science rather than politics and ideology.
The "health-care reform" legislation just enacted is the perfect example. Massive regulatory authority over one-sixth of the American economy, not to mention over most health-care decision-making, are being transferred to a collection of more than 100 federal agencies, bureaus, and commissions, along with new federal programs and an unprecedented delegation of power to the now-über-czar Secretary of Health and Human Services. Little or nothing will be allowed outside the new regulatory scheme — no alternative state programs, no individuals or businesses that choose not to participate, no truly private market alternatives.
If Obamacare becomes settled law, and its programs are fixed in place, it will go far in cementing the United States as a post-constitutional administrative state.
In assuming more and more tasks in more and more areas beyond its constitutionally prescribed responsibilities, modern government has done great damage to American self-rule. The extended reach of the state, fueled by its imperative to impose neutrality on the public square, continues to push traditional social institutions into the shadows of public life, undermining the moral fabric of America's culture and civil society.
As a people, we have become habituated to expect government to solve not just social problems but personal ones, removing all risk from life and providing for all our needs and many of our pleasures. Individuals now look to government to relieve their most ordinary concerns, support their basic endeavors, and compensate them for the simplest injuries they suffer in daily affairs. There are Darwin Award winners who actually call 911 when McDonald's gets their order wrong. All these demands are considered to be rights, and the list is ever-expanding.
By feeding the entitlement mentality rather than promoting self-reliance and independence, administrative government encourages a slavish character incompatible with republicanism. Previously self-governing citizens are degrading themselves slowly into passive subjects of an impersonal, bureaucratic nation-state, and once citizens have given up liberty for comfortable security and the responsibility of self-government for the ease of government-as-parent, democratic government can become a type of soft despotism — which is less coercive in its methods and more benign in its concerns than a totalitarian regime, but perhaps more despotic for this very reason – we don't buck against it because the loss of liberty is subtle – until it's too late to resist because we've lost our liberty.
The Left long has tried to persuade Americans that the rise of the Progressive state was inevitable and permanent. Yet a growing body of evidence, from tea parties to the still-majority opposition to the health-care law, suggests the question has not been settled — at least not by the American people. A recent Rasmussen survey found:
75% of Americans are angry about the policies of the expanding federal government
71% view the government as an interest group,
61% believe the government does not represent the consent of the governed, and
53% view the federal government as a risk to their personal liberty.
The debate between the Founders' constitutionalism and the Progressive paradigm meant to replace it is now engaged in the American mind as never before. Over the next months and years, and the next few elections, the matter will be decided, perhaps definitively, one way or the other.
Either the party of the modern state will unify its control and solidify its centralized model of government, or a new coalition of its opponents — unified by a healthy contempt for bureaucratic rule and a determination to reassert popular consent — will gain control of the political institutions of government and begin the difficult task of restoring real limits on government.
Will we become subjects of the administrative state or citizens of a free republic?

Absolutely Stupid! 2 comments
Shell is suspending exploratory drilling in the Chukchi Sea. Bad news for Alaska, bad news for the country.
http://www.newsminer.com/business/article_b605d186-8113-11e2-8c12-0019bb30f31a.html
At stake is around 26.6 billion barrels of oil. For perspective, the Trans-Alaska Pipeline has transported 16 billion barrels to Valdez over its 35 year history. Since the US Geological Survey likely underestimated the oil reserve, we're talking something around two to two-and-half times the amount of oil that the TAPS has transported so far from Prudhoe Bay.
Shell had an excellent window of opportunity for drilling in 2011, but the EPA held them up over air quality concerns. All the permits were in place, but an environmental group filed a protest over air quality in a village nearly 50 miles from the drill site — a village where most of the residents were hoping to get jobs on the drill rig. For those unfamiliar with the Alaskan North Slope — it's really WINDY there. Air quality is very rarely an issue. But, the protest delayed the exploratory drilling by a year and forced Shell to substitute the Kullak in order to meet the air quality standard required. It's a stupid drill rig. It's round. Completely unsuited for Alaskan maritime conditions. It couldn't handle the ice in the spring and it couldn't handle the heavy seas in the fall.
So now there's 30 billion barrels of oil stranded in the Chukchi Sea and the environmentalists want it to stay that way.
And people wonder why Alaska keeps circling back to the secession discussion. Really? You don't know why we're thinking that way? Amazing!

Jury Nullification 1 comment
There's a lot more to this story than meets the eye. We've had quite a few FBI "informants" working in Fairbanks over the last couple of years. Why? Maybe because Alaskans have always complained about the federal government and so they see us as a threat that needs to be controlled. Shaefer Cox ran his mouth too much with the encouragement of an FBI informant and now he's doing 25 years in federal prison. Guy Manino maybe had some encouragement to make this huge fire cracker and an FBI informant apparently told the police he set off the blast.
Let me be clear — Mr. Manino was an idiot for setting off this blast. We felt it at our house 12 miles away. Houses were damaged and Mr. Manino should pay for the repairs. That's NOT the story.
The story is that an Alaska grand jury actually returned a no true bill on an indictment. I don't know when was the last time that happened. Regular juries acquitting because they don't agree with the law being prosecuted has been going on for 20 years, but the grand jury usually rubber-stamps whatever the prosecutor charges. Not this time.
http://www.newsminer.com/news/local_news/article_5f75de8a-8062-11e2-a190-0019bb30f31a.html
Kathleen "Mike" Dalton, a long-time Alaskan politician, once observed that "The pendulum swings. Just when we think the current course is set in stone, it starts back in the other direction."
I'm not an optimist. I believe we're in a bad situation and things could and probably will get worse. But there are glimmers of hope now and then — signs that some people either haven't drank the koolaid or are starting to sober up from drinking it.
Today it's Fairbanks Alaska and a grand jury recognizing the prosecutor overreached on a charge, tomorrow maybe it will be something far more significant.

A Final Glance in the Rearview Mirror Leave a comment
The administrative state presents us with a fundamental choice:
1) Do we want to live under a government of laws, or
2) Will we continue our slide toward a government of men?
3) Do we want a government that rules by the consent of the governed through elections and representation, or
4) Will we continue to delegate our power of self-government to unelected and unaccountable experts in faraway places so that they can administer our lives for us?
The administrative state has caused a constitutional crisis that must be confronted. Today's agencies violate the separation of powers by combining legislative, executive, and judicial functions in the same hands, and they violate republicanism by vesting those powers in unelected and unaccountable bureaucracies.
We can develop a constitutional strategy to rein in the administrative state and subject it to the constitutional protections devised by our Founders. We have an opportunity to achieve the restoration of our constitutional principles and preservation of what makes our country so great.
Reforming the administrative state is not a utopian project and should not be an unpopular political aim. The administrative state is an assault on constitutional principles of government by consent, the separation of powers, and the rights of individuals. These are values both liberals and conservatives say they hold dear. The rise of unchecked bureaucracy that exercises arbitrary control over citizens should be alarming for anyone who values their own liberty.
Reforming the administrative state does not require a return to laissez-faire, unregulated capitalism, nor does it entail the dismantling of the federal government or federal administrative agencies. The legitimate need for regulation and administration can and must be made consistent with our constitutional principles.
Reform must be grounded in a proper understanding of these principles, not in the hope of immediate short-term gain or narrow self-interest. If we begin from constitutional principles and clearly communicate those principles and their relevance to the public, the suggested reforms are attainable. Americans must work together to forge an alternative to the administrative state so that we preserve our freedoms for future generations.

Returning to a Constitutional Judiciary Leave a comment
Nothing shows the problem of the administrative state as much as the Supreme Court ruling on health care. The Constitution is fairly clear that the federal government cannot regulate non-activity; clear enough that precedent has always ruled against it. That SCOTUS ruling was a shock to most who have read the Constitution, but it merely was a symptom of the increasing growth of the administrative state.
By law, Congress defines the scope of judicial review of administrative decisions, but since the creation of administrative state, the scope of judicial review of administrative decisions has become quite limited. The courts have adopted a deferential position in the face of agency actions. In fact they have an important role to play in restoring the rule of law and preserving the rights of individuals against potentially arbitrary and capricious administrative action.
Congress should consider revising the law to create more rigorous standards of judicial review of administrative decisions. Once parties affected by administrative decisions finally navigate the internal agency appeals process and reach an independent judge, Congress could ensure that the judge would review the decision rigorously. They should not have the option to give the agency the benefit of the doubt when its decision is under review in court.
Congress should ensure that agencies' interpretations of their own laws are heavily scrutinized by reviewing courts. This would subject the administrative state to the check of judicial review, restoring some semblance of separation of powers. Judicial scrutiny of administrative policymaking has been on the rise over the past few decades, but it has occurred largely on the initiative of the judges themselves through expansive interpretation of certain provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act.
Congress could revise the Administrative Procedure Act to reiterate that reviewing courts can determine all issues of legal interpretation without any deference to the agency or department under review.
Congress could apply these standards for judicial review across all agencies and departments or only for certain types of administrative actions such as informal rulemaking, interpretative rulemaking, and issuance of policy statements and guidance documents. Using these less formal ways of crafting rules that have the force of law, agencies often issue vague rules and then explain those rules to regulated parties by issuing memos and opinion letters to them. Congress can require that courts reviewing such informal decisions by agencies be subject to expedited judicial review, meaning that affected citizens could go to an independent court without exhausting internal agency appeals.
When agencies know they will not receive deference from a reviewing court for using informal procedures such as opinion letters, guidance documents, and interpretative rules to make policy, they will have greater incentives to employ the normal procedures for rulemaking that are set-forth by the Administrative Procedure Act.
To assure judicial expertise in the review of administrative policymaking, specialized courts could be established in the most complex areas of policymaking to enhance judicial expertise, similar to the specialized jurisdiction Congress gave the Federal Circuit Court over patents, trademarks, and international trade disputes.
These reforms could be used as incentives to encourage agencies and departments to follow adequate procedures before making decisions that affect citizens and regulated companies. This would go hand in hand with Congress's restoration of the formal rulemaking process originally envisioned by the Administrative Procedure Act. Adjusting the scope of judicial review of agencies in these ways creates procedural protections from arbitrary decisions and checks administrative action by subjecting it to judicial oversight.
The courts can help to check the administrative state by embracing their traditional function of reviewing decisions made by administrators to ensure that those decisions are consistent with the rule of law and due process. Congress should restore the function of adjudication to the courts as much as possible and define the courts' scope of review of administrative decisions to restore some semblance of checks on the administrative state.
The constitutional crisis provoked by the administrative state demands a thoughtful, principled, but also practical response. The ideal solution is for Congress to make the laws itself rather than delegating that power to agencies and departments. Yet there are other options for improving the situation. Enhancing presidential control of the administrative state and expanding the scope of judicial review of at least some administrative decisions while eliminating waivers and transferring the power of adjudication to independent courts would begin to rein in the administrative state so that the constitutional rights of the public are protected.

There sure seem to be a lot of these incidents lately. If the current gun control fever goes the way the feverish want, there will be a lot more because criminals don't follow laws. So I think it's important to get this information out into the public so that people will know — guns are used all the time to protect gunowners and their families and NO, they're not often used wrongly. That's media manipulation and not actual truth.
Homeowner Kills Intruder: 'I Was Fighting For My Life'
" HICKORY, N.C. – A Hickory man is grateful to be alive after he said an intruder broke down his front door, and tried to beat him and rob him Saturday morning.
Paul Ohle said he was in his kitchen around 9 a.m. when he heard his front door being kicked in. Ohle said the man called for help, but as Ohle reached for his phone, the man wrestled it out of his hands.
Ohle now has nearly a dozen staples on the top and side of his head where he was beaten.
"I was fighting for my life," he said.
Ohle said he finally broke free and ran to his bedroom, where he grabbed a revolver and shot the man to death.
"I hate I had to do it," he said, "but I shot him." "

The Papacy in the Middle Ages
Illustration of Gregory I. from the 12th century.
Illustration of Gregory's VII escape from Rome.
The pope, alongside the Holy Roman Emperor, was one of the universal powers of the European Middle Ages. The Roman bishops regarded themselves as successors of the apostles Peter and Paul, who, according to tradition, were active in Rome and gained continuous influence from Late Antiquity until the High Middle Ages.
This was, however, no straight-line process, but was interspersed with numerous influential popes on the one hand and darker phases on the other hand. While we know very little about the earliest popes and have to rely on chronicles, especially the Liber pontificalis, the papacy increasingly shaped its profile from the 4th century onward, due to the end of the persecution of Christians and the Donation of Constantine. After the imperial residence had moved from Rome to Constantinople, the Roman bishop took over crucial functions concerning the administration, protection (Leonine Wall), and supply of the city. Nevertheless, the following centuries were influenced by an often tensed relationship to the East Roman emperor and the patriarch of Constantinople. Rome was not able to enforce its claims of supremacy over the other patriarchates (Alexandria, Antioch, Constantinople and Jerusalem) in the era of the great synods; in fact, the Roman church played a subordinate role in theological discussions about the nature of Christ. A prominent pontificate in these times was the one of Gregory the Great (590-604), and it is not by chance that a register of his letters has been preserved.
The popes' self-conception was also changing continuously over the course of the centuries and eventually culminated in Pope Gregory VII's famous Dictatus papae from 1075. This widely discussed document, written in the context of the Investiture Controversy, expresses the pope's claims to power. It is one of the most important documents of the time of the reforming popes. From this time on, there was an effort to return to the popes' clerical duties, distancing themselves from the previous "dark century" of papal history, in which the papacy had become a plaything of local noble families.
However, the involvement with the secular sphere did not come to an end with the reforming popes. Not only was their claim of supremacy in spiritual matters generally accepted in the Western Christian world, the popes also greatly influenced the crusades. Even after the so-called Investiture Controversy came to an end with the Concordat of Worms in 1122, conflicts with the King of the Romans arose repeatedly, especially between Pope Alexander III and Emperor Frederick I.
The Regesta Pontificum Romanorum contribute greatly to a reevaluation of the papacy's role in contact with various persons and institutions. The lower levels of ecclesiastical and secular hierarchies are treated equally, including the so-called peripheries, such as the Iberian Peninsula and the Eastern church provinces. This results in a more detailed framing of papal influence of Europe's homogenisation.

A: I know this is a little old. But, the solution I came up with for this is to use the evaluateJavascript and have it return the innerHTML of the element. If the innerHTML is null or undefined, then you know that it doesn't exist.
            mWebview.evaluateJavascript(
                "(function() { var element = document.getElementById('loginStuff'); return element.innerHTML; })();",
                new ValueCallback<String>() {
                    @Override
                    public void onReceiveValue(String html) {

                        RelativeLayout useVoiceOverlay = (RelativeLayout) findViewById(R.id.useVoiceOverlay);

                        if( html.equals("null") || html.equals("undefined")){
                            useVoiceOverlay.setVisibility(View.GONE );
                        }
                        else{
                            useVoiceOverlay.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
                        }
                    }
                });


No breach is ever so bad that it can't become worse.
I'd like someone to step up and give my Computer Security students good example for a change.
Have you ever noticed that most companies say, "We take your security very seriously" only after they demonstrably didn't take your security all that seriously? The latest business to let its customers down is Panera Bread, a popular bakery chain, whose security countermeasures probably needed a little more time in the oven.
A huge flaw could expose as many as 37 million user accounts. That's bad enough on its own, but what's even worse is that Panera has known about the underlying flaw for eight months, and did not address it.
The frankly incredible story comes courtesy of security researcher Dylan Houlihan and his colleague Brian Krebs. Houlihan explained the full story in a detailed Medium post, while Krebs added additional commentary on his own blog.
To simplify a very complex issue: Anyone who's ever signed up for a Panera account can leverage a flaw in its website to view another user's information. This includes his or her username, phone number, birthday, and last four digits of a credit card — in addition to a full name, physical address, e-mail address and even your dietary restrictions.
I would not be pleased with a vendor who failed to notify me for months!
Delta Air Lines Inc. and Sears Holding Corp., including its Kmart stores, confirmed late Wednesday that select customer payment information may have been exposed in a cybersecurity breach at a software service provider they both use, called 7.ai.
The tech firm found that a cybersecurity incident affected online customer payment information of its clients, it said. The incident happened on or after Sept. 26, 2017, and was found and resolved on Oct. 12 that year.
Delta and Sears said they were notified of the incident last week and that certain customer payment information may have been accessed.
For my Software Architecture students.
Hospitals are making significant investments in smartphone and secure mobile platforms to enable communications between clinicians and between them and patients, according to a new survey.
Nine of 10 healthcare systems plan significant investments in smartphones and secure unified communications over the next 12 to 18 months, according to the results of the survey, performed in person by Spyglass Consulting Group; the survey included more than 100 healthcare professionals working in hospital environments.
… "The whole idea of patient-staff communications is a relatively new concept," Malkary said, referring to the 2012 requirements set down by the federal government's "meaningful use" of electronic healthcare records (EHR) standards.
While my students are still healthy?
"The US Department of Health and Human Services' Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) today released the ONC Guide to Getting and Using your Health Records, a new online resource for individuals, patients, and caregivers. This new resource supports both the 21st Century Cures Act goal of empowering patients and improving patients' access to their electronic health information and the recently announced MyHealthEData initiative.
I'm sure my students will want to build one. They're still divided as to the targets.
… More than 50 leading academics signed the letter calling for a boycott of Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) and its partner, defence manufacturer Hanwha Systems. The researchers said they would not collaborate with the university or host visitors from KAIST over fears it sought to "accelerate the arms race to develop" autonomous weapons.
(Related) Overreaction? I bet the Pentagon uses Google search too.
I often tell my students where to go.

Yes, When It Comes to Race, There Is a Double-Standard
Chez Pazienza
By Chez Pazienza: Every once in a while I apparently like to see to it that my progressive street cred takes a huge hit and, well, I guess it's that time again. The line to angrily show me the error of my ways forms to the left -- just, please, not the face, eh?
In case you haven't been watching Bill O'Reilly's show on Fox recently -- and I can't in good conscience suggest that you do -- his latest indignant crusade involves the search for answers in the beating of a pair of Virginia newspaper reporters by an angry mob a few weeks back. The two reporters were white; the people who attacked them, throwing rocks at their car and eventually sending both of them to the hospital, were reportedly all black. What got O'Reilly's dander up was the fact that the paper the victims work for -- the Virginian-Pilot -- ran the story not as a news item but as an opinion piece two weeks after the attack. It never bothered to report the initial story; it only chose to comment on it well after the fact and when it did, it stated only that the reporters were beaten by a mob, with no mention of what seemed to be a glaringly obvious racial component. O'Reilly even sent his own little Renfield, intrepid professional asshole producer Jesse Watters, down to the Pilot's offices to confront the paper's management about what he sees as an intentional oversight and ran an interview with at least one man in the neighborhood where the attack happened who claimed that anger over the Trayvon Martin killing in Florida might have played a role in the beating.
To top it all off, a couple of nights ago O'Reilly brought on Bernard Goldberg -- who by the way is probably the most impressive surrogate for Fox's audience of embittered old white people from among its stable of regular guests -- to discuss how liberal media bias contributed to the unwillingness to broach the subject of race in the story. From Mediaite, here's what Goldberg had to say:
"Here is what it is really about. It goes beyond journalism, it's a much bigger issue. It's about white, usually white liberal paternalism where they say, 'Well, we really can't hold black people up to the same standards as we hold white people up to. That's why we are not putting it in the paper. They are different.' So two things happen after that. One, the newspaper, the media, they don't want to air that kind of dirty laundry because it's kind of embarrassing for the black community. And two, they don't want to give ammunition to the bigots who probably would say, you see, that's how they all behave. Now look, we hate, we detest the bigots. But a newspaper has a responsibility to cover legitimate news."
O'Reilly himself then went on to bring up what he calls an undeniable double standard when it comes to the coverage of the Virginia attack: "You can't tell me that MSNBC, if it were reversed, wouldn't be every show, Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, on and on and on," he said.
Now make no mistake: Bill O'Reilly isn't the least bit concerned with justice, fairness or, most assuredly, journalistic integrity -- he's just throwing red meat to his viewers to feed their white resentment, persecution complexes and the overall delusion that they're the victims of "reverse racism." Here's the thing, though: He's right about this. And so is Bernie Goldberg. Intentions be damned, almost across the board they're both right.
Was flat-out racism really a factor in the decision by a large group of black people to attack the Virginian-Pilot's two white reporters as they sat in their car at a red light? I don't know, and neither does anyone else at the moment. But to not acknowledge at all the racial component of a story like this requires powers of self-deception -- or at the very least the ability to twist yourself into a pretzel of rationalization -- that border on superhuman. Again, no one should be claiming that race played a role in the attack, but it's entirely fair to ask the question why so few in the media are willing to question whether it did -- and to do it seemingly as part of a general rule about bringing up race when it's a black-on-white crime. O'Reilly may be a pompous buffoon, but I dare anyone to challenge his assertion that were the races reversed in the case in Virginia -- had it been a group of white people who attacked an African-American man and woman in their car -- it would've been the lead on Al Sharpton's MSNBC show every night since the day it happened.
I want to stress one more time, because it's that important: I have no idea whether race played a role in this recent attack and I won't immediately jump to the conclusion that it did. But it's a news outlet's job to dispassionately report the facts, even if it's to impress upon the public that not enough is known about a news item to make a judgment call. But the press generally doesn't do that when it comes to issues of race and violence, not when the victim is white and the assailant is black. As Goldberg says, they're holding the two groups to different standards when it comes to what they're willing to say about them without unequivocal evidence. When a power-drunk white guy in Florida shoots an unarmed black teen, it's asked whether the attack was racially motivated. And it should be. When an angry mob of young black men and women attack a couple of white reporters, trashing their car and sending them to the hospital, the possibility that the attack was racially motivated isn't even discussed, out of fear of offending anyone or fueling an ugly stereotype. And, again, it should be.
Why? Because that's a news outlet's job.

French oak barrels have been a revelation for more than two millennia, since the Romans conquered the Gauls and immediately adopted this exciting new technology throughout the Empire. They ditched the wax-lined clay amphorae they had been using to transport wine, olive oil and other precious liquids, because they were harder to seal and more breakable than the comparatively lightweight, rollable barrels.
Beyond transporting liquid safely, today's wine and whiskey makers are far more focused on the flavors imparted by the barrels into the liquid within. These influences can vary with barrel shape, wood species, the age and curing of the staves, the interior toast and char levels, and in some cases, what wine or spirit it previously contained.
Each of these considerations came into play when Heaven's Door Head of Whiskey Development Ryan Perry trialed hundreds of different barrel finishes and ultimately selected cigar-shaped barrels of new, exclusively air dried French oak from the forests of Vosges.
Our rye first spends six years in American oak before finishing for about a year in French oak, soaking up the best of both woods. American oak is considered more "in your face," tannic, strongly imparting flavors like vanilla and cream soda. French oak is often described as having softer tannins and making more subtle, spicy and complex flavor contributions.
To understand why this is so and why, 2,000 years on, oak still dominates the barrel world, it's helpful to understand a bit of tree anatomy, starting with a factor that has a tremendous impact on flavor: grain. Wood's grain is said to be either "tight" or "loose" based on how close a tree's annual growth rings are to one another.
Tightness of grain has a huge impact on flavor. It's somewhat counterintuitive, but the tighter the grain, the more porous the wood (the reason is complex and to explain why we'd have to get deep into tree anatomy, which we will another time). Throughout much of its range, American oaks tend to have a longer growing season and are looser-grained as a result, whereas French oaks tend to have shorter growing seasons and a tighter grain, and consequently can impart flavor more quickly due to greater porousness.
The wood for our Straight Rye Whiskey comes from Vosges, one of six primary forests where French oak has been harvested since the shipbuilding Napoleonic era. (The others are Allier, Bertranges, Limousin, Nevers and Tronçais.) French oak staves are hand split and air dried for three years in the elements, a lengthy process but one which preserves and develops new flavor compounds. Kiln drying, on the other hand, which is traditional to almost all American oak, is faster but far less gentle on flavor-producing compounds.
Our cooper fashions our Vosges staves into cigar-shaped barrels, which gives us more 'whiskey-on-wood' contact than a traditionally shaped barrel for faster flavor infusion. As noted before, French oak is porous, and during aging our whiskey soaks as deep as 6mm into the staves, increasing the 'angel's share' drunk by the wood.
The elongated cigar barrel shape increases the length of the staves and their joints, which is the site where much of the oxidation of the whiskey takes place, along with where the staves join the barrel head. Instead of charring the interior of our barrels, we gently toast our barrels to heighten vanilla and spice notes. The reason for this is that these are finishing barrels designed to impart more flavor and complexity, and charring the barrel creates charcoal which would filter some of those flavors out.
Our proprietary barrel finishing results in a smoother, more approachable rye, with notes of orange peel, coriander and spice.

Here in Florida, it's still hot. Our Fall temperatures are in the 80s during the day and 60s at night. We occasionally get a few days when the highs are in the low 70s. But the way we really know that Fall is here is by the fact that everything becomes pumpkin spice. Yes, it's that time of year again!! Pumpkin spice everything season!! Maybe it's because my birthday is in October, but I love the Fall and all the pumpkin and spices that make Fall, Fall.
I used to go to Starbucks every year when they started having the pumpkin spice lattes. When you pay $5 or so for a cup of coffee, and the barista doesn't squirt enough of the magic pumpkin spice juice in your cup, you might feel like you got ripped off.
I have seen recipes for homemade versions of pumpkin spice lattes for years now, but they frequently used ingredients that I wouldn't use. I am very much a D.I.Y. type of person but hadn't tried my hand at this one yet.
A couple of weeks ago, while looking for a pumpkin cake recipe on my computer for my mom, I ran across a pumpkin spice latte recipe that I had saved who knows how long ago or from where. Since I had a couple of cans and a Tetra Pak of organic pumpkin, I decided it was now or never! I printed out the recipe and started experimenting the next morning and all of the mornings since with the recipe.
Before I get to the recipe, let me tell you that I almost got giddy when I was in Target and found that Libby's is now producing cans of organic pumpkin. For the last few years, I have been using the canned organic pumpkin that they have at Whole Foods. It's just not the same as the Libby's I always used in make my pumpkin pies before going organic. It tasted kind of like you just scraped out the inside of a not quite ripe pumpkin, finely pureéd it and then canned it. If you're looking for that green, fresh out of the patch flavor, but don't want to have to do the work, then by all means, buy that one. I actually used that one in my latte and pumpkin spice oatmeal that I made this morning, and it turned out pretty tasty. Target also has it's Simply Balanced brand of organic pumpkin in a Tetra Pak. And now the Farmer's Market brand comes in Tetra Paks too. Tetra Pak is the thick paper type of container that those quarts of soup broth come in. So there are a variety of different brands of organic pumpkin you can buy.
Now let's talk about coffee. I buy organic Cuban style coffee at Costco. The brand is Mayorga. I usually grind a weeks worth of beans at a time at home in the coffee grinder and keep them in an airtight container. I don't have one of those counter top drip coffee makers. I have tried all kinds of ways of preparing coffee. I have had various and sundry different drip coffee makers. I have had a French press. I drank coffee made with a chorreador in Costa Rica. I have had coffee from perkolators. I finally settled on the right kind of coffee maker a few years ago, and now own two, one for home and one for work. It's the Italian coffee maker. I bought both of mine at IKEA for two reasons. First, it is stainless steel. Many that you will find out there are aluminum. Second, it only sets you back about $20 for one. And because there is no electricity or anything involved, it will last many years. The only tricky part may be finding gasket replacements. It is really an espresso maker and is supposed to make 6 cups of espresso. It makes two cups of coffee for me. The following recipe will make two cups of organic pumpkin spice latte.
Combine all ingredients except vanilla in a heavy saucepan and stir with a whisk. Heat until mixture starts to steam. If you have a milk frother, please use it here and froth up your milk. I don't have one, so my lattes have no fun foam effect, but they still taste great! You need to have large coffee mugs here. Pour half of the espresso into each of two mugs. Top with half of the pumpkin spice milk mixture. Enjoy!
I have made this without the pumpkin, and without any type of sweetener and have enjoyed it. Depending on how much pumpkin you put in your coffee, your latte may become quite thick as you reach the bottom. If the accumulated spices and pumpkin that settle to the bottom of your mug bother you, feel free to strain the milk mixture as you pour it into your coffee. This recipe is a result of a couple of weeks of working with and tweaking the original recipe I had. I haven't had a Starbucks pumpkin spice latte for years. Truth be told, I'm not sure I would like them any more. My tastes have changed considerably since switching to organics. But this recipe turns out a really good version that my tongue now thinks a pumpkin spice latte should taste like. For those of you who still get the ones at Starbucks or anywhere else that has them nowadays, give it a try and let me know how this recipe measures up.

This is a such a brilliant book! Goofy fun is paired with getting to write and draw your own ideas into the story. My son got super into it! As a mom I was thrilled that he was writing (which isn't typically his favorite thing to do) and having fun! He was cracking up and reading, drawing, and writing for over an hour. We read together, shared ideas, and had a tremendous amount of fun the whole time. It would be a great book to have fun with over the summer! The second one is coming out in September and we can't wait!

An Uplifting "Butterfly" from The Bee Gees et al. Plus, Today is Elvis's 86th Birthday.
On the heels of last month's HBO Bee Gees documentary "How Can You Mend A Broken Heart" is today's release of "Greenfields: The Gibb Brothers Songbook, Vol. 1."
Barry Gibb has collected Bee Gees favorites and re-recorded them with contributions from Keith Urban, Dolly Parton, Little Big Town, Alison Kraus, Sheryl Crow, Miranda Lambert and more,
"Butterfly" with Gillian Welch and David Rawlings was featured on the HBO show, and is included in the "Songbook." It's charming, light and airy, able to uplift the spirits of pandemic weary folks.
Green fields where we used to wander
Purple valleys, near my home
The video is soothing, too—lots of green: leaves, grass, water…
The project's organizer, Barry Gibb, admits it was an emotional experience. "I feel deep down that Maurice and Robin would have loved this album for different reasons. I wish we could have all been together to do it…but I think we were."

Make-A-Wish gives Ventura family a swimming pool

Here's what Make-A-Wish gave to a Ventura boy and his family
Children from the neighborhood look on as a crew from the Ventura Fire Department fills a pool for Ryland O'Donnell, who was born with a form of epilepsy that cannot be controlled with medication. The pool was a wish granted by Make-A-Wish Tri-Counties. CONTRIBUTED PHOTO/BETHANY O'DONNELL

Make-A-Wish Tri-Counties granted the wish of a pool for Ryland O'Donnell, 13, of Ventura, who was born with a form of epilepsy that cannot be controlled. Here, the family poses for a photo during a wish "reveal" party. Clockwise from top left are the O'Donnells: Avalyn, Bethany, Ryland, Xander, Jonathan and Izabella. ALICIA DOYLE/SPECIAL TO THE STAR

Born with epilepsy that can't be controlled, Ryland O'Donnell didn't start walking until he was 6 years old.
But his love of water began to show when he was still crawling.
"I have pictures of him fully clothed, sitting in a bathtub full of water," recalled Bethany O'Donnell, a foster mom who adopted Ryland when he was 9 months old. "Then, when he started walking, he would put his toys in the sink and watch the water fall on his toys."

That love of water is why Ryland, 13, and his four adopted siblings now have a swimming pool at their Ventura home.
Thanks to the Make-A-Wish Foundation, Ryland can now spend time in the above-ground, fenced-in pool that's 4 feet deep and holds about 6,000 gallons of water. On Friday, a crew from the city of Ventura Fire Department came to fill it using a nearby hydrant, and the following morning, those who helped grant Ryland's wish attended a "reveal" party in his backyard.
There's something about water that calms Ryland. When he's around it, O'Donnell said, he loves moving his feet around, watching the motion of the water and listening to the sounds it makes.
"Sometimes, he'll just stand there and clap because he's so happy," O'Donnell said.
In addition, because Ryland's hips, knees and feet aren't aligned, walking is difficult.
"But in the water, it's a whole lot easier on him. There's no impact at all," O'Donnell said. "And I think he likes that feeling of not having the whole weight on his legs."

The pool will also help Ryland with his socialization skills, she said.
"Because he's so developmentally delayed, he doesn't talk, so his social interaction is really limited," O'Donnell said. "Swimming is something that he can do with everybody else. He's not limited when he's in water; he can just be with everyone."
O'Donnell said Ryland's four adopted siblings — 11-year-old twins Izabella and Avalyn, 13-year-old Xander, and 16-year-old Jonathan — will also enjoy the water.
The pool wasn't the only gift to the family. Make-A-Wish brought together individuals and businesses in the community to renovate the backyard, including new turf, new vinyl fencing and solar panels.
"This yard was pretty much dirt, so we renovated the whole yard," said Dan Long, who has been involved with Make-A-Wish for the past 24 years.

O'Donnell was once an emergency medical technician who was seriously injured when she was responding to an accident, Long noted.
"So she went back to school and got more training so she could take care of babies, and started fostering babies," Long said. "She ended up adopting these five kids … that she raised, and all but one are special-needs. She's a single mom, and she's done this all on her own."
In his 24 years of granting wishes, "this is one of the most amazing families and the most appropriate wishes for a wish child," he said. "This one really fit like a peg. Ryland loves the water and he has uncontrollable epilepsy, so water calms him. It's such a perfect wish for Ryland because the water helps him — and it's a great wish for the whole family."
Ventura Fire Chief David Endaya attended the reveal party and said the firefighters who filled the pool the previous day were happy to volunteer for the task.

"The best part of our day is if we get to interact with the community outside of crisis," Endaya said. "We're here to do a job 24-7, 365, but unfortunately most of our interfaces are during a crisis, or a need, or a problem that needs to be fixed, or a fear. So we much prefer being able to participate in events like this where there's joy when we pull up, instead of relief that someone's here to solve an emergency."
Granting Ryland's wish took about a year from start to finish, said Melissa Remotti, director of wishes for Make-A-Wish Tri-Counties.
"There's been a lot of moving parts," she said. "It's been pretty amazing. Everyone in the community has just been able to help out. That's what's special about the community we live in."
Make-a-Wish Tri-Counties has granted about 82 wishes this year.
"We can't grant wishes without the community," she said. "We run 100 percent on donations … and our local community steps up every time."

Community Safety Partnerships are nationally recognised bodies. Under the Crime and Disorder Act 1998, all 'statutory partners' should work in partnership to reduce crime and disorder. In Somerset, Community Safety Partnerships have been in place since the inception of the Act.
Initially district based, the community safety partnership landscape in Somerset has evolved over time. In 2013, the Avon and Somerset Police and Crime Commissioner approved a formal merger of a county-wide Safer Somerset Partnership.
The Safer Somerset Partnership operates at a strategic level, and is aided by a number of sub groups.
For the first time, the Safer Somerset Partnership has partnered with the Avon and Somerset Police and Crime Commissioner to co-produce a Local Crime Plan for 2017-2021.
Almost all community safety work is done in partnership. No matter the subject area, it is rare that any one issue can be dealt with by a single agency.
There is a range of community safety work that concerns other partnerships. For instance, modern slavery, FGM, honour based violence, forced marriage, domestic abuse, sexual violence, hate crime, child sexual exploitation, preventing radicalisation are all safeguarding concerns.
The inequalities in health that concerns the Health and Wellbeing Board are similar to the inequalities in victimisation and offending. Much of our work is targeted on those with a lower social economic background. The more susceptible to crime are also most susceptible to poor health and wellbeing outcomes. Therefore, strong relationships between these boards are pivotal in finding innovative solutions to common concerns.
In 2010, the Policing and Crime Act (2009) amended Section 17 of the Crime and Disorder Act (1998) to make Community Safety Partnerships (CSPs) responsible for formulating and implementing a strategy to reduce reoffending by adult and young offenders.
Studies have shown that the most prolific 20% of offenders are responsible for 80% of all crime. In other words, a small number of criminals commit the majority of our crimes. These offenders are now identified and targeted by an innovative multi-agency management approach.
The aim is to rehabilitate offenders (as most commit crimes to support their problematic drug use) and help them through change to stop them reverting back to a life of crime and causing further harm to our communities.
In 2017 The Safer Somerset Partnership agreed to participate in the Avon and Somerset Reducing Reoffending Board, in the knowledge that strategically, there was benefit in working across local authority boundaries.

Q: Upgrading makie package I have Julia 1.5.2 in my machine. Recently I installed a plotting package called Makie and its backend GLMakie in a Julia environment. The package was initially working fine. But then after adding a few other packages MakieThemes, AbstractPlotting, AlgebraOfGraphics, and running the same code, is giving me an error (ERROR: BoundsError: attempt to access Scene at index [3]).
A post on the net suggested that one of the packages might have downgraded GLMakie package. Now even after removing and reinstalling GLMakie package is still giving the same error. I have tried updating the package Pkg.update("GLMakie") but the package doesn't seem to get upgraded (0.1.13). On github there seems to be version 0.1.29
Does anyone know why it isn't getting upgraded.
Also for information here is the code.
using Makie
using GLMakie
using RDatasets
using DataFrames

#Data
df = dataset("datasets", "iris")

#Scatterplot
fig, axis, scatterObj = scatter(
    df.SepalLength,
    df.SepalWidth;
    markersize = 9,
    color = :lightblue
)

A: Figured out the issue. It was caused by StatsMakie which is now deprecated.
Solved by removing StatsMakie (]rm StatsMakie) which allowed the other 2 packages to get updated to their latest releases. Update Makie by Pkg.update(PackageSpec(name="Makie",version="0.12.0")) and similarly for GLMarkie.

A: Glad you got things updated.  The error you had was for a different reason though. Your figure is just the scatterplot here, so the Scene scatter(...) returns has just the axis and the scatter figure, so two not three elements. ie:
#Scatterplot
axis, scatterObj = scatter(
    df.SepalLength,
    df.SepalWidth;
    markersize = 9,
    color = :lightblue
)

PepsiCo Buying German Juice Maker
Prepared Foods May 10, 2005 enewsletter
PepsiCo announced it has agreed to acquire Punica Getranke GmbH, a German maker of fruit juices and juice drinks, from Sunny Delight Beverages Co., a portfolio company of J.W. Childs Associates, L.P.
The acquisition will immediately expand and strengthen PepsiCo's German beverage portfolio by providing a leading position in several juice-related categories, the company said. It will dramatically expand PepsiCo's juice business in Continental Europe, which currently includes Tropicana and several affiliated brands. The purchase also will establish Germany as one of PepsiCo's largest juice and juice-drink markets in Continental Europe.
The Punica brand is marketed as the "fruitladen thirstquencher," and its product portfolio ranges across three beverage segments: fruit nectars and juice drinks, tea and fruit blends, and schorles (fruit juice and sparkling mineral water).
Punica products are offered in a range of packages, including glass bottles, paper cartons and PET plastic bottles. Punica's products are distributed principally through grocery chains and Germany's more than 10,000 drink center outlets.
"Punica represents an outstanding brand and an outstanding team that will strengthen our beverage portfolio in several fast-growing industry segments," said Michael D. White, chairman and chief executive officer of PepsiCo International. "This investment is an important part of our ongoing effort to offer consumers a range of beverage choices. It also reflects our continuing optimism about growth prospects for PepsiCo in Germany and across Europe."
Punica owns and operates a state-of-the-art plant in Hamburg for manufacturing concentrate and finished products.
The transaction, which is subject to regulatory clearance, is expected to be completed within the next several weeks. Terms were not disclosed.

The Library of Benjamin Franklin (Memoir 257)
By Edwin Wolf 2nd and Kevin J. Hayes
Memoir 257
Beginning in the late 1950s, Edwin Wolf 2nd embarked on a bibliographic odyssey to reconstruct the "lost" library of Benjamin Franklin. Franklin's library, the largest and best private library at the time of his death in 1790, was sold by his grandson in the last eighteenth century to Robert Morris Jr., who subsequently sold it in the early nineteenth century. None of the catalogs of the collection survive, and the contents of the library were virtually unknown until 1956, when Wolf discovered the unique shelfmarks Franklin used to identify his books. Wolf's work to reconstruct a catalog of the library continued for the next thirty years but was unfinished at the time of his death. As the tercentenary of Franklin's birth approached, Kevin J. Hayes took up the work and has continued to discover titles that were part of the library. Everything found to date, close to 4,000 entries, has been compiled here.

Nearly four million light years away in the direction of the constellation of Canes Venatici, a visage of creation awaited to be revealed. Now, thanks to the teamwork of the astronomical image processors at the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore, Maryland, and world-renowned astrophotographers Robert Gendler and Jay GaBany, we're able to see combined Hubble Space Telescope data with ground-based telescope imaging. Let's look deep into spiral galaxy, Messier 106.
With the cooperation of Jay GaBany, they combined their own observations/images of this magnificent structure and compiled it with Hubble data – filling in areas where no data was available. The resulting image is a portrait of such depth and beauty that it's almost like looking into the eyes of creation itself.
Deep inside lurks that known supermassive black hole – one that's extremely active and produces bright microwave radiation. But, don't stop there. Ordinarily a spiral galaxy has two arms, but M106 has double. These ethereal "extras" can be seen as faint ribbons of gas at optical wavelengths, but become solidified when viewed in x-ray and radio. Here the structure is formed in hot gas rather than stars. While this process was once a mystery to astronomers, new information suggests they may arise from the black hole activity, making them a unique artifact. What could cause it? These "extra arms" could be the result of the violent turbulence at the core – where gases are superheated and interact with their denser counterparts causing them to illuminate. At the perimeter of the galactic structure, the gases are more loose and the arching formation could be the product of the movement of jet activity.
All in all, Messier 106 is a galaxy that deserves attention – attention and a loving touch given by two of the very best amateur astronomers and dedicated astrophotographers to be found.

Women We Love – Jennifer Lawrence Redux (26 Photos)
Starring in the Hunger Games was the opportunity of a lifetime, but when the role of Katniss Everdeen was offered to her, Jennifer Lawrence hesitated.
"A yes-or-no question very rarely changes your entire life," Lawrence tells Fresh Air's Terry Gross. But in this case, she knew it would. The Twilight movies had just come out, catapulting its young actors into an extreme level of fame; Lawrence sensed that the Hunger Games series would do the same for her.
Lawrence worried that fame would affect her ability to go out in public or her future plans to start a family. She predicted her parents might have to move to a different, more private home (they eventually did). But then she thought about the character she would be playing in the films and she decided to go for it.
Lawrence's latest film, Joy, is a comic drama about the woman who invented the Miracle Mop. "A lot of people have inventions or they have ideas and then they bring it to somebody else and they say, 'I have this idea [but] I don't know how to make it,'" Lawrence says. "But Joy grew up in a metal garage, so she was in complete control of all of her creations."
Joy is Lawrence's third film with director David O. Russell, who also worked with her in American Hustle and Silver Linings Playbook, for which she won an Academy Award for Best Actress.

An Action Flag on a location means that there's a regular or "discreet" mission available or, it could mean that there's something to do for a side job or a mission you're already on. On the People tab, such as above, the flag means you have someone to speak with to start or continue a mission. Lastly, having the flag on the area tab (the leftmost tab, named "University" in the screenshot above) means there's a more general mission action to take, such as searching for a spaceship in the ruins, or repairing an airlock.
Whether your next step involves following up on a mission investigation, or a little Discreet Work , the Action Flag icon is there to guide you through the deep darkness of space. If you see this icon, there is an activity of interest awaiting you along your journey, whether a person, place, or task, career, or side job step of importance.
