Israel's Beresheet lunar module reached the moon but crash landed.
Friday, 12 April 2019 | Israel on Thursday was set to join just three other nations who have successfully landed on the moon, but it was not to be. The unmanned robotic lander suffered periodic engine and communications failures during the 21 minutes or so of the landing sequence, the support team said, and the spacecraft descended in a freefall, crashing into the moon''s surface.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his wife Sara and son Yair were present at the Yehud command room to watch the landing. Following the failure, he said: "If at first you don't succeed you try again.
"We reached the moon and we will try again. Next time we want a soft landing. The attempt itself is a major accomplishment," Netanyahu said.
Minutes into the landing mission, the spacecraft took a selfie photo with the moon. But suddenly, mission control announced that they lost contact with the craft, whose main engine apparently failed. The craft then proceeded to descend rapidly and crash into the moon's surface.
SpaceIL President Morris Kahn said: "We were not successful, but our achievement is great." He thanked the engineers and all the staff who worked on the program.
"We definitely crashed on the surface of [the] moon," said Opher Doron, general manager of the space division of Israel Aerospace Industries. He said the spacecraft was in pieces scattered at the planned landing site.
Doron said that the spacecraft's engine turned off shortly before landing. By the time power was restored, he said the craft was moving too fast to land safely. Scientists were still trying to figure out the cause of the failure.
President Reuven Rivlin hosted dozens of youth for a viewing party at the president's residence. Following the failure, he told the children: "Yes, we are disappointed, but there is no doubt that our achievements and abilities—of our scientists and of our country—are amazing.
"To bring a spaceship to the moon costs a huge fortune and we, with very little resources and money, brought Genesis almost to the moon. When we believe, we achieve. True, sometimes there are disappointments, but these are null and void compared to the achievements we reached, this night as well. That is why I am so happy to be here as president of this country with so many children. When we were children like you, we never dreamed that we would make a journey to the moon. I hope you will be the scientists who will reach the moon and achieve much greater achievements. This is an important evening for the State of Israel, for the citizens and the children of Israel, who see what we can do when we want and make the effort," said Rivlin.
The president then led the crowd in singing the national anthem, Hatikvah [The Hope].
Earlier, the prime minister recalled the excitement, followed by great sadness, when Israeli astronaut Ilan Ramon flew a space mission with NASA [National Aeronautics and Space Administration]. Then, upon reentry into the earth's atmosphere, the Space Shuttle Columbia exploded, killing the astronauts.
The project was the brainchild of Israeli entrepreneurs Yariv Bash, Yonatan Weintraub and Kfir Damari, who decided nine years ago to accept a challenge by Google to design a spacecraft that could land on the moon. The challenge ended last month without a winner, but the three—who went on to form SpaceIL with main project sponsor Morris Kahn as chairman—never gave up.
Even Ben Gurion International Airport joined in the national excitement, listing the little spacecraft on its arrivals board, indicating it was due to land on the moon at 10.00 pm.
According to the plan, Beresheet [Hebrew for "Genesis" or "In the Beginning"] was to touch down on the lunar surface at around 10:15 p.m. The operation was directed by a control center in the Israeli town of Yehud, some 12 km [7.4 mi] southeast of Tel Aviv.
Before it began its descent, Beresheet was orbiting the moon at 6,000 km/h [3,728 mi/h]; it would begin its autonomous landing when it reached 25 km [15.5 mi] above the surface and 800 km [497 mi] from the landing site.
In order to control its landing, Beresheet had to simultaneously fire all nine engines for 15 minutes. When it was 5 km [3 mi] above the surface, the craft's laser instrument that measured its height was to start updating the onboard computer regarding the distance to ground level so that it could synchronize its engine function.
The spacecraft was to slow its advance when it was 1 km [0.6 mi] above the surface of the moon, and some 40 seconds from touchdown. When it reached a height of 5 m [5.4 16.4 ft], it was to shut off its braking engines and drop to the surface on four legs, specially developed in Israel, to cushion the blow.
After landing, Beresheet was to take a selfie and send it back to Earth using NASA satellites recruited to assist the Israeli space mission.
The mission—which involved a [US] $100 million investment, a four-year construction process at Israel Aerospace Industries and SpaceIL, and a six-week space trip—aimed to see Israel join the US, China and the Soviet Union as the only ones to have achieved putting a craft on the moon.


I read about this recently -- Lexi Schulze teaches her daughter that "more important than pretty is smart. And even more important than smart is being kind".
Thank you Lexi! I am teaching this to my daughter too!

COVID-19 Update from Ohio Governor Mike DeWine
HTM / WKTN Staff
(COLUMBUS, Ohio)— Ohio Governor Mike DeWine, Lt. Governor Jon Husted, and Dr. Amy Acton, MD, MPH, today provided an update on the status of Ohio's response to COVID-19.
TESTING SUPPLIES:
Governor DeWine announced today that The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center is now partnering with the Ohio Department of Health to help increase the availability of testing supplies needed for testing citizens for COVID-19.
"Because of supply chain problems, we can't always get the swabs and tubes and transport liquid, and there is also a shortage in the chemicals or reagents necessary to run the tests," said Governor DeWine. "Through this new partnership, we are working to get these resources and provide them to those conducting the testing."
N95 MASK SANITIZING:
Lt. Governor Jon Husted announced today that Battelle and JobsOhio have partnered to provide free N95 mask sanitizing for hospitals for the next two weeks.
Last week, after urging from Governor DeWine and Lt. Governor Husted, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the use of new Battelle technology to sanitize these masks for reuse.
Ohio still faces a critical shortage of PPE. Anyone with items to donate should email together@governor.ohio.gov. Manufacturers that may be able to temporarily repurpose to create PPE are asked to visit: https://repurposingproject.com/
EARLY PRISON RELEASE:
Governor DeWine announced today that he will recommend the early release of 38 prison inmates.
The inmates fall into two categories:
.Pregnant inmates and those who are recently postpartum.
.Inmates who are vulnerable to COVID-19 at 60 years old or older and have 120 days or less remaining on their sentence.
Governor DeWine will send a letter to the judges who presided over these cases and encourage them to grant early release. These cases do not involve any individuals convicted of serious violent crimes such as, but not limited to, murder, sexual assault, and domestic violence.
The Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction (ODRC) will work with the courts to hold these hearings remotely. If a victim was involved in the case, they will be notified and given the opportunity to provide a statement.
NEW EDUCATIONAL RESOURCE:
The Ohio Department of Education (ODE) today released a special guide to help schools, educators, students, parents, and caregivers as they navigate remote learning.
The new Remote Learning Resource Guide will support the ability of each child to carry on learning during this time of social distancing.
ODE consulted with educators across Ohio as they compiled the remote learning guide and incorporated their best advice for finding remote-learning information and how
to use it.
The guide includes online learning resources, as well as several less technical resources.
The guide is available on the Ohio Department of Education's website and on https://coronavirus.ohio.gov/wps/portal/gov/covid-19/home

Expression of human glutathione S-transferase P1 mediates the chemosensitivity of osteosarcoma cells
Gangxiong Huang, Lisa Mills and Laura L. Worth

DOI: 10.1158/1535-7163.MCT-06-0580 Published May 2007
GSTP1 expression in human osteosarcoma cell lines. Whole-cell protein was extracted from the cells of NHOst, 10 human osteosarcoma cell lines, HTB-10 (for positive controls), and MCF (for negative controls). Immunoblotting was performed to detect GSTP1 expressions in the cells. Actin was also detected as a sample loading control.
GSTP1 expression was inducible in human osteosarcoma cell lines by doxorubicin (DOX) and cisplatin (CDDP) treatments. SAOS-2 and HOS osteosarcoma cells were treated with 0.1 μmol/L of doxorubicin, 5 μmol/L of cisplatin, or 100 μmol/L of methotrexate (MTX) for the indicated times. A, total RNA was extracted from treated and untreated osteosarcoma cells. GSTP1 mRNA expression in the SAOS-2 cells (top) or HOS cells (bottom) was quantified by RT-PCR, and the glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) mRNA level was used as an internal control. The relative expression of GSTP1 was normalized against glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase by densitometric analysis. B, whole-cell protein, extracted from SAOS-2 cells (top) or HOS cells (bottom) was subjected to immunoblotting analyses for GSTP1 expression. The relative expression of GSTP1 was normalized with actin by densitometric analysis.
Overexpression of GSTP1 in SAOS-2 cells. A, SAOS-2 cells were stably transfected with GSTP1 cDNA (pDsRed2-GSTP1) or vector (pDsRed2). Whole-cell protein extracts were used for immunoblotting analyses. Overexpression of GSTP1 protein (fusion with the fluorescent protein DsRed2, ∼50 kDa) in SAOS-2 cells after transfection was confirmed by Western blotting. The intrinsic GSTP1 (∼25 kDa) was expressed at low levels in both parental cells and transfectants. B, GST activities of conjugation of reduced GSH with 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene (CDNB) were measured as described in Materials and Methods. As GSTP1 activity of parental SAOS-2 cells was considered as 1, the relative GSTP1 activity of the transfectants was normalized (*, P < 0.01).
GSTP1 expression was suppressed by vector-based siRNA transfection in HOS cells. A, HOS cells were stably transfected with pSilencer constructs (GSTP1–339si, 377si, 451si, 475si, 509si, or control). GSTP1 suppression in stable colonies resulting from transfection of 339si (HOS-339si-3, -6, -10) or 377si (HOS-377si-3, -6, -9) was confirmed by immunoblotting analyses. B and C, GSTP1 mRNA levels and GST activities for parental HOS and transfectants were determined by RT-PCR and an activity assay as described in Materials and Methods. The relative levels of GSTP1 mRNA and GST activity were shown and compared with those of parental HOS and HOS-control. Columns, mean; bars, SD; *, P < 0.01. D, the expression of GSTA1 or GSTM1 (other GST isoforms) in HOS cells was not affected by GST-339si transfection.
GSTP1 suppression increased DNA damage and apoptosis by doxorubicin (DOX) or cisplatin (CDDP) in HOS cells. A and B, parental HOS cells and transfectants were treated with doxorubicin or cisplatin at the indicated concentrations for 48 h. A, a comet assay was done to assess DNA damage (top), as described in Materials and Methods. Before undergoing electrophoresis, the cells harvested after cisplatin treatment were exposed to cesium irradiation at 15 Gy to break DNA that was cross-linked by cisplatin, whereas the cells harvested after doxorubicin treatment were subjected to electrophoresis directly. SYBR green staining visualized DNA, and DNA strand breakage or cross-linking was determined by assessing the DNA tail moment. The extent of the DNA breakage or cross-linking was quantified by assessing the tail moment (bottom). The percentage of tail moments for the cells treated with doxorubicin or cisplatin was normalized to that of untreated cells, which was expressed as 100%. Twenty to 30 cells were scored for each treatment. Columns, mean; bars, SD; *, P < 0.05 when compared with HOS-control cells treated with doxorubicin or cisplatin. B, cells were collected by trypsinization and then labeled with Annexin V-FITC and propidium iodide. Apoptotic cells staining with Annexin V and propidium iodide were determined by fluorescence signals of Annexin V-FITC and propidium iodide on a flow cytometer.
Doxorubicin (DOX) or cisplatin (CDDP) induced ERK1/2 and JNK phosphorylations and oxidative stress in HOS cells. Cells were treated with 0.5 μmol/L of doxorubicin or 5 μmol/L of cisplatin for the indicated times. Cell lysates were subjected to immunoblotting analyses or assay for GSH and GSSG, as described in Materials and Methods. A, phospho-ERK1/2 was induced by treatment with doxorubicin (top) or cisplatin (bottom) in parental, HOS-control, and HOS-339si-3 cells. The inductions of phospho-ERK1/2 were decreased in the HOS-339si-3 cells in which GSTP1 expression was suppressed compared with that in HOS or HOS-control cells. B, treatment of HOS, HOS-control, and HOS-339si-3 cells with doxorubicin or cisplatin increased phospho-JNK by 4 to 12 h. However, the inductions of phospho-JNK were similar in all cell lines and independent on GSTP1 expression. C to F, GSH and GSSG concentrations were measured, and the GSSG/GSH ratio was calculated. The concentrations are expressed as nmol of GSH equivalents/mg of protein. GSSG concentration and GSSG/GSH ratio were considered as 0 when GSSG was undetectable. The levels of intracellular GSH and GSSG/GSH ratio in HOS-control and HOS-339si-3 cells untreated or treated with doxorubicin or cisplatin for 2 to 12 h are shown. Columns, mean; bars, SD; *, P < 0.05.

Christmas Day is over, but you've still got 10 days or so before you need to think about taking the decorations down. If you don't have any of your own, why not experiment with the lights put up by Ken and Rebecca-Ellen Woods of Fairbanks, Alaska, USA?
The couple are letting anyone with an internet connection and a browser switch different parts of their display on or off, thanks to this website. It's proved very popular though - so you might notice a slight delay.
This isn't a new idea either: the couple has been doing it annually since 2010. Fortunately, Ken and Rebecca-Ellen can't see the lights from inside their house - quite what the neighbours think about it isn't clear.
"We do this for the fun," Ken told the Alaska Dispatch News. "I didn't think it would get as big as it is." Apparently the setup gets bigger every year, and there is a donation link if you want to chuck in some money for the cost of keeping this festive internet wonder up and running ($420 this year).

Q: NoSuchMethodError for getDisplay() while trying to use Listview inside RecyclerView I am trying something fairly complex which may also be a bad practice but I still want to get it done. I am trying to create a CardView navigated through a RecyclerView. I have let the card part for later and right now I am trying to use the contents of each card as a RecyclerView item. Each Item has inside a Checkbox and an ListView (I read though is bad practise to use one inside the other) and each list item has checkboxes. I have created an adapter for the RecyclerView which calls the adapter of the ListView. The data to be displayed are in a json form. I am getting a "NoSuchMethodError" for the getDisplay function.
Here is the code for the RecyclerView Adapter:
public class CheckoutAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<CheckoutAdapter.OrderViewHolder>{

private Context context;
private JSONArray tableOrders;

public CheckoutAdapter(Context context, JSONObject tableOrders) {
    this.context = context;
    try {
        this.tableOrders = tableOrders.getJSONArray("orders");
    } catch (JSONException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}

@Override
public OrderViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {
    View view = LayoutInflater.from(context).inflate(R.layout.activity_checkout, parent, false);
    return new OrderViewHolder(view);
}

@Override
public void onBindViewHolder(OrderViewHolder holder, int position) {
    try {
        holder.populateOrderList(tableOrders.getJSONObject(position));
    } catch (JSONException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}

@Override
public int getItemCount() {
    return tableOrders.length();
}

public class OrderViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder{
    CheckBox checkBox;
    ListView orderList;

    public OrderViewHolder(View itemView) {
        super(itemView);

        checkBox = (CheckBox) itemView.findViewById(R.id.order_checkbox);
        orderList = (ListView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.order_list);
    }

    public void populateOrderList(JSONObject order) {
        try {
            checkBox.setText(order.getString("order_id"));
            checkBox.setChecked(false);
            OrderAdapter orderAdapter = new OrderAdapter(context, order.getJSONArray("items"));
            orderList.setAdapter(orderAdapter);
        } catch (JSONException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}
}

Here is the code for the ListView Adapter:
public class OrderAdapter extends BaseAdapter {

private Context context;
private JSONArray orderItems;

public OrderAdapter(Context context, JSONArray orderItems) {
    this.context = context;
    this.orderItems = orderItems;
}

@Override
public int getCount() {
    return orderItems.length();
}

@Override
public Object getItem(int i) {
    JSONObject temp = null;

    try {
        temp = orderItems.getJSONObject(i);
    } catch (JSONException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    return temp;
}

@Override
public long getItemId(int i) {
    return 0; //we aren't going to use this. Tags items for easy reference.
}

@Override
public View getView(int i, View view, ViewGroup viewGroup) {
    ViewHolder holder;
    String item = "";

    if(view==null) {
        view = LayoutInflater.from(context).inflate(R.layout.item_view_layout_checkout_item, null);
        holder = new ViewHolder();
        holder.orderItem = (CheckBox) view.findViewById(R.id.order_item);
        view.setTag(holder);
    } else {
        holder = (ViewHolder) view.getTag();
    }

    try {
        item = orderItems.getJSONObject(i).getString("name");
    } catch(JSONException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

    holder.orderItem.setText(item);
    holder.orderItem.setChecked(false);
    return view;
}

private static class ViewHolder {
    CheckBox orderItem;
}
}

Here is how i call the Adapter in the main activity:
    checkoutView = (RecyclerView) findViewById(R.id.checkoutRecycler);
    RecyclerView.LayoutManager checkoutManager = new LinearLayoutManager(this);
    checkoutView.setLayoutManager(checkoutManager);
    CheckoutAdapter checkoutAdapter = new CheckoutAdapter(this, orders);
    checkoutView.setAdapter(checkoutAdapter);

Here is the error I get:

Basketball Hall of Fame as player
George Lawrence Mikan, Jr. (June 18, 1924 – June 1, 2005), nicknamed Mr. Basketball, was an American professional basketball player for the Chicago American Gears of the National Basketball League (NBL) and the Minneapolis Lakers of the NBL, the Basketball Association of America (BAA) and the National Basketball Association (NBA). Invariably playing with thick, round spectacles, the Script error: No such module "convert". Script error: No such module "convert". Mikan is seen as one of the pioneers of professional basketball, redefining it as a game of so-called big men with his prolific rebounding, shot blocking and his talent to shoot over smaller defenders with his ambidextrous hook shot, result of his own Mikan Drill.[1]
Mikan had a successful player career, winning seven NBL, BAA, and NBA championships, an All-Star MVP trophy, and three scoring titles. He was a member of the first four NBA All-Star games, and the first six All-BAA and All-NBA Teams. Mikan was so dominant that he caused several rule changes in the NBA, among them the goaltending rule, widening the foul lane—known as the "Mikan Rule"—and introducing the shot clock.[2]
After his playing career, Mikan became one of the founders of the American Basketball Association (ABA), serving as commissioner of the league, and was also vital for the forming of the Minnesota Timberwolves. In his later years, Mikan was involved in a long-standing legal battle against the NBA, fighting to increase the meager pensions for players who had retired before the league became lucrative. In 2005, Mikan died after a long battle against diabetes.[3]
For his feats, Mikan was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 1959, made the 25th and 35th NBA Anniversary Teams of 1970 and 1980, and was elected one of the NBA's 50 Greatest Players ever in 1996. Since April 2001, a statue of Mikan shooting his trademark hook shot graces the entrance of the Timberwolves' Target Center.[2]

5.1 Rule changes
George Mikan was born in Joliet, Illinois, as an American of Croatian descent. As a boy, he shattered one of his knees so badly that he was kept in bed for a year and a half. In 1938, Mikan attended the Chicago Archbishop Quigley Preparatory Seminary and originally wanted to be a priest, but then moved back home to finish at Joliet Catholic.[4] Mikan did not seem destined to become an athlete. When Mikan entered Chicago's DePaul University in 1942, he stood 6' 10", weighed 245 pounds, moved awkwardly because of his frame, and wore thick glasses for his near-sightedness.[5]
However, Mikan met 28-year-old rookie DePaul basketball coach Ray Meyer, who saw potential in the bright and intelligent, but also clumsy and shy freshman. Put into perspective, Meyer's thoughts were revolutionary, because at the time it was believed that tall players were too awkward to ever play basketball well.[4] In the following months, Meyer transformed Mikan into a confident, aggressive player who took pride in his height rather than being ashamed of it. Meyer and Mikan worked out intensively, and Mikan learned how to make hook shots accurately with either hand. This routine would become later known as the Mikan Drill.[5] In addition, Meyer made Mikan punch a speed bag, take dancing lessons and jump rope to make him a complete athlete.[3]

From his first National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) college games for DePaul on, Mikan dominated his peers. He intimidated opponents with his size and strength, was unstoppable on offense with his hook shot, and soon established a reputation as one of the hardest and grittiest players in the league, often playing through injury and punishing opposing centers with hard fouls.[4] In addition, Mikan also surprised the basketball world by his unique ability of goaltending, i.e. jumping so high that he swatted the ball away before it could pass the hoop. In today's basketball, touching the ball after it reaches its apogee is a violation, but in Mikan's time it was legal because people thought it was impossible anyone could reach that high. "We would set up a zone defense that had four men around the key and I guarded the basket," Mikan later recalled his DePaul days. "When the other team took a shot, I'd just go up and tap it out." As a consequence, the NCAA and later the NBA outlawed goaltending.[1] One of the few opposing centers to have any success against Mikan was Bob Kurland, a seven-footer from Oklahoma A&M.[6]
Mikan was named the Helms NCAA College Player of the Year twice in 1944 and 1945 and an All-American three times, leading DePaul to the NIT title in 1945, which was as prestigious as the NCAA tournament at the time.[7] Mikan led the nation in scoring with 23.9 points per game in 1944–45 and 23.1 in 1945–46. When DePaul won the 1945 National Invitation Tournament, Mikan was named Most Valuable Player for scoring 120 points in three games, including 53 points in a 97–53 win over Rhode Island, equalling the score of the entire Rhode Island team.[5]
Professional playing career

Mikan as member of the Chicago American Gears
Chicago American Gears (1946–47)
After the end of the 1945–46 college season, Mikan signed with the Chicago American Gears of the National Basketball League, a predecessor of the modern NBA. He played with them for 25 games in the end of the 1946–47 NBL season, scoring an impressive 16.5 points per game in his rookie games. Mikan led the Gears to the championship of the World Basketball Tournament. In the WBT, Mikan was elected Most Valuable Player after scoring 100 points in five games, and also voted into the All-NBL Team.[1][5]
However, before the start of the 1947–48 NBL season, Maurice White, the president of the American Gear Company and the owner of the American Gears NBL team, pulled the team out of the league. White planned to create a 24-team league called the Professional Basketball League of America, in which he owned all the teams and arenas. However, the PBLA folded after just a month, and the players of White's teams were equally distributed among the 11 remaining NBL franchises. As a consequence, every team had a 9.09% chance of landing the basketball prodigy Mikan, who ended up on the Minneapolis Lakers playing for coach John Kundla.[1]
Minneapolis Lakers (1947–56)
In his first season with the Lakers, Mikan led the league in scoring with 1,195 points, becoming the first and only NBL player to score more than 1,000 points in an NBL season.[8] He was named the league MVP, and the Lakers won the NBL title.
The following year, the Lakers and three other NBL franchises jumped to the fledgling Basketball Association of America. Mikan led his new league in scoring, and again set a single-season scoring record. The Lakers defeated the Washington Capitols in the 1949 BAA Finals.
In 1949, the BAA and NBL merged to form the NBA. The new league started the inaugural 1949–50 NBA season with 17 teams, with the Lakers in the Central Division. Mikan again was dominant, averaging 27.4 points per game and 2.9 assists per game and taking another scoring title;[9] only Alex Groza of Indianapolis also broke the 20-point-barrier that year.[1] After comfortably leading his team to an impressive 51–17 record and storming through the playoffs, Mikan's team played the 1950 NBA Finals against the Syracuse Nationals. In Game 1, the Lakers beat Syracuse on their home court when Lakers reserve guard Bob Harrison hit a 40-foot buzzer beater to give Minneapolis a two-point win. The team split the next four games, and in Game 6, the Lakers won 110–95 and won the first-ever NBA championship. Mikan scored 31.3 points per game in the playoffs.[1]
In the 1950–51 NBA season, Mikan was dominant again, scoring a career-best 28.4 points per game in the regular season, again taking the scoring crown, and had 3.1 assists per game.[9] In that year, the NBA introduced a new statistic: rebounds. In this category, the 6-foot-10 Mikan also stood out, his 14.1 rebounds per game (rpg) only second to the 16.4 rpg of Dolph Schayes of Syracuse.[9] In that year, Mikan participated in one of the most notorious NBA games ever played. When the Fort Wayne Pistons played against his Lakers, the Pistons took a 19–18 lead. Afraid that Mikan would mount a comeback if he got the ball, the Pistons passed the ball around without any attempt to score a basket.[10] With no shot clock invented yet to force them into offense, the score stayed 19–18 to make it the lowest-scoring NBA game of all time. This game was an important factor in the development of the shot clock, which was introduced four years later. Mikan had scored 15 of the Lakers' 18 points, thus scoring 83.3% of his team's points, setting an NBA all-time record.[10] In the post season, Mikan fractured his leg before the 1951 Western Division Finals against the Rochester Royals. With Mikan hardly able to move all series long, the Royals won 3–1. Decades later, in 1990, Mikan recalled that his leg was taped with a plate; however, despite effectively hopping around the court on one foot, he said he still averaged 20-odd points per game.[1]
In the 1951–52 NBA season, the NBA decided to widen the foul lane under the basket from 6 feet to 12 feet. As players could stay in the lane for only three seconds at a time, it forced big men like Mikan to play post from double the distance.[1] A main proponent of this rule was New York Knicks coach Joe Lapchick, who regarded Mikan as his nemesis, and it was dubbed "The Mikan Rule".[11] While Mikan still scored an impressive 23.8 points per game, it was a serious reduction from his 27.4 points per game the previous season, and his field goal percentage sank from .428 to .385. He still pulled down 13.5 rebounds per game, asserting himself as a top rebounder, and logged 3.0 assists per game.[9] Mikan also had a truly dominating game that season, in which he scored a personal-best 61 points in a double overtime victory against the Rochester Royals. At the time it was the second-best performance in league history (to Joe Fulks' 63 point score in 1949), and Mikan's output more than doubled that of his teammates, whose output that game totaled 30 points. In the 1952 NBA All-Star Game, Mikan had a strong performance with 26 points and 15 rebounds in a West loss. Later that season, the Lakers reached the 1952 NBA Finals and were pitted against the New York Knicks. This qualified as one of the strangest Finals series in NBA history, as neither team could play on their home court in the first six games. The Lakers' Minneapolis Auditorium was already booked, and the Knicks' Madison Square Garden was occupied by the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus. Instead, the Lakers played in St. Paul and the Knicks in the damp, dimly lit 69th Regiment Armory. Perpetually double-teamed by Knicks' Nat Clifton and Harry Gallatin, Mikan was unable to assert himself and it was more Vern Mikkelsen's credit that the first six games were split. In the only true home game, Game 7 in the Auditorium, the Lakers won 82–65 and edged the Knicks 4–3, winning the NBA title and earning themselves $7,500 to split among the team.[11]
During the 1952–53 NBA season, Mikan averaged 20.6 points and a career-high 14.4 rebounds per game, the highest in the league, as well as 2.9 assists per game.[9] In the 1953 NBA All-Star Game, Mikan was dominant again with 22 points and 16 rebounds, winning that game's MVP Award. The Lakers made the 1953 NBA Finals, and again defeated the Knicks 4–1.[1]
In the 1953–54 NBA season, the now 29-year-old Mikan slowly declined, averaging 18.1 points, 14.3 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game.[9] Under his leadership, the Lakers won another NBA title in the 1954 NBA Finals, making it their third championship en bloc and the fifth in six years; the only time they lost had been when Mikan fractured his leg. From an NBA perspective, the Minneapolis Lakers dynasty has only been convincingly surpassed by the eleven-title Boston Celtics dynasty of 1957–69.[1] At the end of the season, Mikan announced his retirement. He later said: "I had a family growing, and I decided to be with them. I felt it was time to get started with the professional world outside of basketball." Injuries also were a factor, as Mikan had sustained 10 broken bones and 16 stitches in his career, often having to play through these injuries.[1]
Without Mikan, the Lakers made the playoffs, but were unable to reach the 1955 NBA Finals. In the middle of the 1955–56 NBA season, Mikan returned to the Lakers lineup. He played in 37 games, but his long absence had affected his play. He averaged only 10.5 points, 8.3 rebounds and 1.3 assists,[9] and the Lakers lost in the first playoff round. At the end of the season, Mikan retired for good. His 10,156 points were then a career record; he was the first NBA player to score 10,000 points in a career.[12] He was inducted into the inaugural Basketball Hall of Fame class of 1959 and was declared the greatest player of the first half of the century by The Associated Press.[1]
Post-playing career
In 1956 Mikan was the Republican candidate for the United States Congress in Minnesota's 3rd congressional district. He challenged incumbent Representative Roy Wier in a closely fought race that featured a high voter turnout. Despite the reelection of incumbent Republican President Dwight Eisenhower, the inexperienced Mikan lost by a close margin of 52% to 48%. Wier received 127,356 votes to Mikan's 117,716. Returning to the legal profession, Mikan was frustrated, after hoping for an influx of work. For six months, Mikan did not get any assignments at all, leaving him in financial difficulties that forced him to cash in on his life insurance.[13]
Problems also arose in Mikan's professional sports career. In the 1957-58 NBA season, Lakers coach John Kundla became general manager and persuaded Mikan to become coach of the Lakers. However, this was a failure, the Lakers enduring 9–30 record until Mikan stepped down and returned coaching duties to Kundla. The Lakers ended with a 19–53 record, to record one of the worst seasons in their history.[1] After this failure, Mikan then concentrated on his law career, raising his large family of six children, successfully specializing in corporate and real estate law, and buying and renovating buildings in Minneapolis.[1]
In 1967, Mikan returned to professional basketball, becoming the first commissioner of the American Basketball Association, a rival league to the NBA. In order to lure basketball fans to his league, Mikan invented the league's characteristic red-white-and-blue ABA ball, which he thought more patriotic, better suited for TV, and more crowd-pleasing than the brown NBA ball,[1] and instituted the three-point line. Mikan resigned from the ABA in 1969.
In the mid-1980s, Mikan headed a task force with a goal of returning professional basketball to Minneapolis, decades after the Lakers had moved to Los Angeles to become the Los Angeles Lakers and after the ABA's Minnesota Muskies and Minnesota Pipers had departed. This bid was successful, leading to the inception of a new franchise in the 1989-90 NBA season, the Minnesota Timberwolves.[1]
In 1994, Mikan became the part-owner and chairman of the board of Chicago Cheetahs, a professional roller hockey team based in Chicago, Illinois, that played in Roller Hockey International. The franchise folded after their second season.
In his later years, Mikan suffered from diabetes and failing kidneys, and eventually, his illness caused his right leg to be amputated below the knee. When his medical insurance was cut off, Mikan soon found himself in severe financial difficulties.[4] He fought a long and protracted legal battle against the NBA and the NBA Players' Union, protesting the $1,700/month pensions for players who had retired before 1965, the start of the so-called "big money era". According to Mel Davis of the National Basketball Retired Players Union, this battle kept him going, because Mikan hoped to be alive when a new collective bargaining agreement would finally vindicate his generation. In 2005, however, his condition worsened.[3][10]
Mikan is lauded as the pioneer of Modern Age basketball. He was the original center, who scored 11,764 points, an average of 22.6 per game, retired as the all-time leading scorer and averaged 13.4 rebounds and 2.8 assists in 520 NBL, BAA and NBA games. As a testament to his fierce playing style, he also led the league three times in personal fouls.[2][5] He won seven NBL, BAA, and NBA championships, an All-Star MVP trophy, and three scoring titles, and was a member of the first four NBA All-Star games and the first six All-BAA and All-NBA Teams. As well as being declared the greatest player of the first half of the century by The Associated Press, Mikan was on the Helms Athletic Foundation all-time All-American team, chosen in a 1952 poll, was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame in 1959, made the 25th and 35th NBA Anniversary Teams of 1970 and 1980 and was elected one of the NBA 50 Greatest Players in 1996.[1][2][5] Mikan's impact on the game is also reflected in the Mikan Drill, today a staple exercise of "big men" in basketball.
When superstar center Shaquille O'Neal became a member of the Los Angeles Lakers, Sports Illustrated graced its November 1996 issue with Mikan, O'Neal and fellow Lakers legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, calling Abdul-Jabbar and Mikan the "Lakers legends" to whom O'Neal was compared. Since April 2001, a statue of Mikan shooting his trademark hook shot graces the entrance of the Minnesota Timberwolves' Target Center.[2] In addition, a banner in the Staples Center commemorates Mikan and his fellow Minneapolis Lakers. He is also honored by a statue and an appearance on a mural in his hometown of Joliet, Illinois.
Rule changes
Mikan became so dominant that the NBA had to change its rules of play in order to reduce his influence, such as widening the lane from six to twelve feet ("The Mikan Rule"). He also played a role in the introduction of the shot clock; and in the NCAA, his dominating play around the basket led to the outlawing of defensive goaltending. Mikan was a harbinger of the NBA's future, which would be dominated by tall, powerful players.[1][2]
As an official, Mikan is also directly responsible for the ABA three-point line which was later adopted by the NBA; the existence of the Minnesota Timberwolves;[1]and the multi-colored ABA ball, which still lives on as the "money ball" in the NBA All-Star Three Point Shootout.[14]
In 1947, he married his girlfriend Patricia, who remained his wife the next 58 years until he died. Mikan fathered six children, sons Larry (George Lawrence Mikan III), Terry, Patrick and Michael and daughters Trisha and Maureen.[10] All his life, Mikan was universally seen as the prototypical "gentle giant", tough and relentless on the court, but friendly and amicable in private life.[10] He was also the older brother of Ed Mikan, another basketball player for both DePaul and the BAA.
Mikan died in Scottsdale, Arizona, on June 1, 2005, of complications from diabetes and other ailments. His son Terry reported that his father had undergone dialysis three times a week four hours a day for the last five years.[3][10] He was interred at Lakewood Cemetery in Minneapolis.
Mikan's death was widely mourned by the basketball world,[3] and also brought media attention to the financial struggles of several early-era NBA players. Many commentators[who?] felt that the current players of the big-money generation should rally for larger pensions for the pre-1965 predecessors in upcoming labor negotiations.[15] Shaquille O'Neal offered to pay for Mikan's funeral. He said: "Without number 99 [Mikan], there is no me."[15] Before Game 5 of the 2005 Eastern Conference Finals between the Heat and the Detroit Pistons, there was a moment of silence to honor Mikan. Bob Cousy remarked that Mikan figuratively carried the NBA in the early days and single-handedly made the league credible and popular.[3]

Q: File /var/log/messages Doesn't Exist - openSUSE I use openSUSE Leap 42.3 and there is no file /var/log/messages. How is that possible? I have seen that in this file are logs regarding my system.
Edit
Trying to install rsyslog I get

Problem: systemd-logger-228-38.1.x86_64 conflicts with namespace:otherproviders(syslog) provided by rsyslog-8.24.0-1.3.x86_64
 Solution 1: deinstallation of systemd-logger-228-38.1.x86_64
 Solution 2: do not install rsyslog-8.24.0-1.3.x86_64

Also the files in the /var/log are:

*

*alternatives.log

*boot.log

*pbl.log

*snapper.log

*zypper.log

A: OpenSUSE appears to no longer install a syslog daemon by default, instead relying on the systemd logging and journalctl.
Your two options are,

*

*use journalctl or

*install a syslog daemon and ensure it's running

systemd-logger-228-38.1.x86_64 is a dummy package, just remove it and let it install rsyslog.

The Rajya Sabha has passed the landmark Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Bill 2015, which paves the way for a new juvenile justice system in the country under which the age of criminal culpability will now be 16 years and the accused who is 16 to 18 years old, will be be tried as adult under the Indian Penal Code (IPC).
The bill was first passed in Lok Sabha in May 2015 and later in Rajya Sabha in December 2015. Now it will go for presidential approval to come into force. This Bill is a product of a nation shocked by the brutality of the Nirbhaya case.
The Bill is founded on the recognition of the rights of the victims, which, it says, is equally important as the rights of juveniles. The government reasons that special provisions are the need of the hour to tackle the rising number of heinous crimes committed by juveniles between the age of 16 and 18, especially against women.
The Bill replaces the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2000 and states that any person aged between 16 and 18 years and accused of a heinous offence (crime for which there is a sentence of seven years or more under the Indian Penal Code) will be tried under the IPC and not the JJ Act if, after a preliminary inquiry, the Juvenile Justice Board feels that the crime was committed with full knowledge and understanding of the consequences.
The Bill also lays down adoption norms and eligibility of adoptive parents and the procedure for adoption have been included in the Bill.
Penalties for cruelty against a child, offering a narcotic substance to a child, and abduction or selling a child have been prescribed.
There are differing views on whether juveniles should be tried as adults. Some argue that the current law does not act as a deterrent for juveniles committing heinous crimes. Another view is that a reformative approach will reduce likelihood of repeating offences.
The provision of trying a juvenile committing a serious or heinous offence as an adult based on date of apprehension could violate the Article 14 (right to equality) and Article 21 (requiring that laws and procedures are fair and reasonable). The provision also counters the spirit of Article 20(1) by according a higher penalty for the same offence, if the person is apprehended after 21 years of age.
The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child requires all signatory countries to treat every child under the age of 18 years as equal. The provision of trying a juvenile as an adult contravenes the Convention.
Some penalties provided in the Bill are not in proportion to the gravity of the offence. For example, the penalty for selling a child is lower than that for offering intoxicating or psychotropic substances to a child.
The Standing Committee examining the Bill observed that the Bill was based on misleading data regarding juvenile crimes and violated certain provisions of the Constitution.
The bill omits a provision from the Act which provided for the separate treatment of juveniles or children suffering from leprosy, sexually transmitted disease, Hepatitis B, Tuberculosis, or with unsound minds. It also replaces a provision which gave competent authorities in special homes or the power to move children suffering from leprosy, unsound mind, or drug addiction to special facilities.
Which of the following has recently (April 2014) been crowned women's singles champion at the Malaysian Open 2014 tennis tournament?
The Union Cabinet chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi has given its approval to The High Courts (Alteration of Names) Bill, 2016.
The Bill would pave the way in changing of the names of Bombay High Court as Mumbai High Court, Madras High Court as Chennai High Court and Calcutta High Court as Kolkata High Court respectively.
Since the names of these cities have been changed, it is appropriate and logical that the names of these High Courts also get changed.

Not content with crushing all forms of pluralism, President Ilham Aliyev has been waging a relentless war against his remaining media critics since 2014. Independent journalists and bloggers are jailed on absurd grounds if they do not first yield to harassment, beatings, blackmail or bribes. Independent media, such as Zerkalo and Azadlig, have been stifled economically. Others, such as Radio Azadlig, have been closed by force. The main independent news websites are blocked. In a bid to silence those who continue to resist in exile, the authorities harass their family members still in Azerbaijan. The regime has also exported its repression by having journalists detained in Georgia and Ukraine, and sued in France. It is only under pressure that the regime retreats – pressure that is needed more than ever.

Well someone broke into my car... broke the window and stole the radio. However when they took out the radio they really ripped off and broke all the parts for the ac/heat and buttons. They also totally destroyed the area where the radio is and all the plastic around it.. so I can never put a new one in. The question is.. it looks like the dashboard can actually come off in pieces. I just want to replace the dash where the radio is ... is that possible?
i think u can, ur talking about the black parts right???
no the dash comes out in one piece, you are better off to go to a junkyard and find another dash. I would be interested in seeing if the dash can be disassembled once it's out. I was wanting to recover one in leather. i can't remember if it's plastic rivets holding it together, or how they put the sections together. would have to be put back together,but thats no problem.

Dre's Diabetes Diagnosis On 'black-ish' Helps Demystify Chronic Illness
By Kayla Hawkins
Eric McCandless/ABC
Everything is not holly or jolly on the ABC comedy's Dec. 12 midseason finale, because Dre is diagnosed with type 2 diabetes on black-ish. Naturally, this is difficult news for Dre, who has an aversion to pretty much every healthy habit imaginable. But things get even worse when Bow's overzealous approach to helping Dre with his medical treatment leads Dre to the other extreme. With the help of a "wellness" documentary that claims you can "cure" any disease without medication, the patriarch starts to believe that he can manage his illness just by fasting.
Of course, starving himself isn't a viable method of dealing with a chronic illness, and Dre passes out spectacularly at his work holiday party. When Bow asks him, "Have you thought about your family or your kids?" Dre responds that he only ever thinks about himself.
Dre's insecurities about becoming someone who has to deal with daily health issues like measuring his blood sugar, making time to exercise, and taking daily medication spurs him into a fantasy world where none of those things are necessary. He has a dream where, in a parody of It's a Wonderful Life, Dre sees how his family would be affected by his death. After a few days, they've moved on to "New Daddy," Rick Fox, and generally don't seem to miss the old one. After that nightmare, Dre realizes that he doesn't want to miss out on seeing his five kids grow up because of manageable health issues.
This combination of low blood sugar and paranoia makes Dre take his health more seriously, realizing that because he has money and a support system behind him, managing diabetes actually won't change his life all that drastically. Interestingly, these scenes featuring Dre addressing his health are likely informed by the fact that star Anthony Anderson has the disease as well. Anderson told The Los Angeles Times in 2013 that he has had to learn new habits in order to keep control over it. "I didn't make as drastic changes as I needed to," Anderson said about the early stages of his diagnosis. But a family tragedy changed his mind. "I watched my dad slowly die from this disease, and I vowed never to let that happen to my wife and children," the actor said. So, like Dre, he had to alter his routine in order to stay as healthy as possible.
The episode's opening animation points out that realities like food deserts and health care disparity mean that black Americans have a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes than white Americans, which is backed up by the National Center for Biotechnology Information. And this episode goes a long way towards demystifying that experience. In the end, the viewer is left with the impression that diabetes is a lot more serious than jokes about sugary treats, but that it's not an insurmountable problem or one that's a sign of moral failure. Yes, Dre had some bad health habits, but this isn't his fault nor is it something that will ruin his life. That's a necessary point to make about a chronic illness like this one that affects 30 million Americans, per Diabetes.org.
Unfortunately, this otherwise important episode doesn't give Bow much to do. As in several previous Season 4 episodes, she's Dre's sounding board. But since she is a doctor, this storyline was a chance to hear more from her, and as the wife of someone dealing with a new diagnosis, it would have been interesting to hear what her emotional journey was like. How does she feel about potentially becoming Dre's caretaker? Maybe she's the one who needed the It's a Wonderful Life sequence, where she reckoned with her own desire to have a "perfect" partner before renewing her commitment to helping Dre overcome this hurdle.
But that issue aside, the midseason finale is another strong example of black-ish's mission to make serious problems disproportionately affecting the black community seem less daunting and more universal.

Finally, AMCON Takes Over Distressed Arik Air, Appoints New Management—Arik Owes N135B
In a statement made available to aviation reporters today, AMCON confirmed its seizure of the debt-ridden airline.
After months of speculations, with denials by the management of Arik Air, Asset Management Company of Nigeria (AMCON) has finally taken over the troubled Nigerian carrier.
Our aviation correspondent found that, prior to today's takeover of the airline, Arik Air owed AMCON more than N135 billion in debt. The airline also owed N10 billion to other service providers.
In its statement, AMCON appointed Captain Roy Ukpebo Ilegbodu, a veteran aviation expert, to run Arik under the receivership of Mr. Oluseye Opasanya, a Nigerian lawyer. AMCON explained that it took over the airline due to the carrier's heavy financial debt that is threatening to permanently ground Arik.
Arik Air is responsible for the airlift of at least 55 per cent of freight in Nigeria's aviation sector, but the carrier has been racked by financial and operational difficulties attributed to its bad corporate governance and weak operational practices. The airline has maintained an unreliable schedule, consistently failed to bring in passengers' luggage, and has been unable to pay staff salaries.
AMCON said Nigerian authorities called upon the corporation to intervene before Arik Air went under like many other carriers before it.
AMCON's statement suggested that its takeover of the beleaguered airline underscored the Federal Government's policy to instill order in Nigeria's aviation sector. It remarked that the takeover was to prevent a major catastrophe and to protect as well as preserve Arik Air as a business.
"This development will also afford Arik Air to go back to regular and undisrupted operations, avoid job losses, protect investors and stakeholder funds as well as ensure safety and stability in the already challenged aviation sector," AMCON stated.
The statement quoted the Minister of State for Aviation, Hadi Siriki, as saying that the intervention would save the country's aviation industry. It added, "We believe that this appointment is timely and will stabilize the operations of the airline.
"This will enhance the long term economic value of Arik Air and revitalize the airline's ailing operations as well as sustain safety standards, in view of Arik Air's pivotal role in the Nigerian aviation sector."
Mr. Siriki also promised that the Federal Ministry of Aviation would support the new management of the strategic carrier, adding that steps had been taken to ensure that there would be no undue disruption in Arik's regular business operations or activities as a result of the recent changes in the leadership and management of the airline.
Captain Ilegbodu, who will run the airline under the receivership of Mr. Opasanya, also assured staff of the troubled airline and other stakeholders that his appointment at Arik would enhance the carrier's value, improve customer experience, and sustain the safety, reliability and secure operations of the airline.
"As a matter of fact, Arik Air has been in a precarious situation largely attributable to its heavy financial debt burden, bad corporate governance, erratic operational challenges and other issues, that required immediate intervention in order to guarantee the continued survival of the Airline," AMCON disclosed in its statement.
It added, "Yesterday (Wednesday), Arik temporarily suspended its flight operations to the John F. Kennedy International Airport, New York, United States, claiming that the two Airbus A330-200 aircraft dedicated to the route have been taken to France for C check at the same time. Equally more than eight aircraft are currently grounded at the tarmac making it difficult to meet their routine commercial flights."
Some of the myriad issues confronting Arik Air include confiscation of aircraft due to non-payment of leases, frequent flight delays, and constant fights between Arik Staff and irate passengers at both local and international airports etc.
"During the last yuletide season, passengers were stranded in airports all over the country due to Arik's incessant flight delays and cancellations, which negatively affected the preference they enjoy from passengers. You are all living examples of this."
AMCON assured all stakeholders that the intervention was in the best interest of the general public, workers, creditors and other aviation interest groups. Its statement declared that Arik Air was so overwhelmed that the worker's wages were not paid for several months, leading to occasional confrontation between the management of the airline and different aviation unions in the country.
AMCON remarked that Arik's inability to pay its workers for seven months had compelled the United Labor Congress (ULC) and Engineers Union recently to shut the offices of the airline across the country. The shutdown caused untold hardship to thousands of travelers and an embarrassment to the aviation sector in the country.
AMCON stated, "Besides owing workers' salaries, the airline has also not been remitting the taxes of workers to relevant bodies thus also defrauding the country.
"The airline is also in perpetual default in its lease payments and insurance premium, leading to regular and embarrassing repossession of its aircrafts by lessors."
AMCON assured all stakeholders that its intervention was in the best interest of the general public, workers, creditors and other aviation interest groups. It added that it was not out to frustrate any company, but to revive dying airlines.
