Tasman Bridge Tours and Activities
Towering over the Derwent River and dramatically illuminated at night, the Tasman Bridge has long been one of Hobart's most memorable landmarks. Built in 1964, the five-lane bridge runs for 1.4km across the river, connecting the central business district with the eastern suburbs, and forming part of the long-distance Tasman Highway.
Despite its status as a city landmark, the Tasman Bridge is perhaps most notorious for its collision with the MV Lake Illawarra bulk carrier In 1975 – an accident that caused extensive damage to the bridge, the sinking of the ship and several fatalities, becoming known as the 'Tasman Bridge Disaster'. Today, a memorial plaque honors the tragic victims, while the sunken vessel provides an unusual attraction for scuba divers.

Governor Andrew Cuomo's minor improvements in election law are shameful. He just couldn't find the political courage to touch term limits and reduce the number of signatures needed to run for office in New York State.
No Assembly member or State Senator should spend more than eight years in office. And if we reduced the number of signatures required to get on the ballot to run as a Democrat from 1,250 to 250, we'd get much better candidates.
Let's get the hacks out of politics!

Cougar Costume Cynosure
Conestoga Allows Students to Showcase Their Costumes While They Learn
Makenzie Jones, Editor|November 1, 2020

Junior Addison Anderson's Halloween spirit is on full display as she navigates the CHS hallways on Friday, Oct. 30. Students were allowed to wear school appropriate Halloween costumes on All Hallows' Eve.
Murray, Neb.-This past Friday was All Hallows' Eve, and Conestoga's spooky spirit was in full swing. Costumes portraying all sorts of characters, both creepy and funny, were seen throughout the hallways. Students were eager to show off their trick-or-treating garments to their classmates and teachers. With the help of a little bit of pressure from students, principal Rob Geise decided to allow students to have a little bit of "normalcy" in the midst of a school year plagued by surprises and adversity.
Principal Geise, Mr. Moore, and Mrs. Lewis flaunt their festive fashion on Friday, Oct. 30 at Conestoga. Conestoga students and staff were able to dress up to celebrate the holiday. (Kelly Svanda)
Letting students dress up for Halloween was a choice that Mr. Geise said was a reward. "The Conestoga students have been doing an amazing job with all of our rules and procedures to stay in school." said Geise. Wearing a mask at school has become a regular part of students' everyday lives, so wearing one that may be a little scarier than usual surely couldn't hurt. Even while following all recommended guidelines and precautions put in place due to the Covid-19 pandemic, students had no trouble remaining in the holiday spirit.
Students were required to stay within the policies of our dress code while dressing up for Halloween. They could not wear masks that covered their entire face and hats were allowed, but only if they were a part of a costume. Nothing that was inappropriate or disruptive to the learning environment was tolerated. Geise was pleased with the students' costumes and says that he plans on making this an annual treat. "They deserved some fun on Halloween Eve!" said Geise. This fun new tradition, paired with other traditions such as Cougar Hollow-een or sending Boo Grams make October quite a month to be a Cougar!
Check out the Cougar Candids section of the prowl to see some of this year's best costumes!

The Cat Empire have released their new single 'Ready Now' along with a 360-degree music video – the first instalment in monthly series that will see the band drop a single on the first day of each month for the rest of the year.
'Ready Now' heralds the unveiling of the band's seventh studio album and coincides with another massive tour.
Directed by Riebl's friend Dominic Allen, the 'Ready Now' clip was shot in 360 degrees, so viewers can choose their own unique view of the song, honing in on their favourite band member.
"'Ready Now' began as an accidental one hand arpeggio on a keyboard with an obnoxious synth horn sound on," Riebl said.
The track blends the feel-good mix of horns and beats we've come to expect of the band, with a darker edge that hints at a new direction.
The cover image for 'Ready Now' was shot by photographer Sean Scott, the first of eight Australian photographers whose work will be showcased in each monthly track release.
Check out 'Ready Now' and the huge list of tour dates below.

Innovative design is not a term typically used to describe healthcare facilities. Most Canadian centres constructed in the middle of the last century, were not designed with patient comfort in mind -frightening medical equipment, stark decor, and lack of privacy. As the baby boomer population grows older, many hospitals and healthcare facilities are being constructed and retrofitted in order to meet the needs of this influential group – which is often said to be much more demanding then generations before it. How are healthcare facilities responding to this fundamental shift in patient needs and expectations?
At the heart of this shift is a more patient-centered business model, improving patient outcomes, while at the same time increasing employee morale. Skeptics are quick to comment on the impact that design may or may not have on patient outcomes. However, examples of clinically-backed research data supporting the claim have been linked to reduced pain rates, improved test results, and numerous lives saved.
Improved patient experience: does your facility make the patient feel more at home?
Healing environments can contribute greatly to well-being, and have a lasting effect on patients. As the patient's first impression of a facility, managers are beginning to put more care and consideration into creating a welcoming environment that will improve perceived quality of care, and boost overall patient satisfaction.
Clinical environments can be overwhelming, busy, and stressful. Accommodating patients in environments that closely match their home life can be very beneficial. Personalized patient rooms reduce anxiety and stress while improving patient comfort, helping to neutralize negative effects associated with a lengthy hospital stay, giving patients and loved ones a higher sense of comfort regarding their medical care.
Reduced infection rates: can better design and material translate to less patient risk?
Hospital infections occur in approximately 30% of patients and can be extremely dangerous, due to their ability to quickly spread through a facility (HBR, 2015).
Furniture can play a big role in the area of infection control. Utilizing equipment and interior products with antimicrobial properties, impedes the growth and spread of bacteria. Facility mangers have begun to take note of the materials in which their equipment and furniture is constructed. Easy-to-clean materials impact facility performance and success, where simple changes such as this can help hospitals and healthcare facilities prevent the spread of infection, protecting patients, staff, and visitors.
Is it possible to move the equipment and staff instead of the patient?
Being transferred through clinics, wards, and healthcare facilities can be exhausting, for both patients and staff members. Allowing patients to remain in their room as much as possible, from admission through to discharge, lowers the potential for medical errors, while reducing patient stress and discomfort. Aiming to improve infection control measures, facilities that have patients stay in single rooms greatly reduce the risk of infection by eliminating any additional patients. While single patient rooms are beneficial, the reality of facilities running at or over-capacity makes it difficult to plan around. Multi-patient rooms with improved privacy, via well designed curtain systems, can help facilities strike a balance between patient needs, moving staff and equipment to and from, and the finite amount of beds and space at any given time.
Enhanced employee morale: can facility design impact job satisfaction?
Updated and improved design plays a significant role in the strategic retention of employees within a healthcare facility. Studies show that improvements contributing to employee working conditions (lighting, noise levels, routine tasks) can decrease sick days by approximately 20% -resulting in significant cost savings as well as employee satisfaction rates (HBR, 2015).
Effective design, as well as proper training, give staff a clear picture of ones' own purpose within the organization. Staff are more apt to engage with patients, carry out proper procedural steps and stages, and work to create successful medical outcomes.
Healing images, that include photographs and scenes of nature, have been proven to help staff effectively handle and cope with the stress of providing patients with medical care. Facility design that is patient, family, and employee-oriented is more likely to meet operation goals, as well as improve quality and safety measures.
In efforts to include and respect the family of patients, more and more healthcare centres are recognizing the benefits toward implementing practices related to patient-centered care. More and more facilities are opting for sleek design features, however, modern updates are carried out with the intention of not only improving outcomes, but minimizing down-times, reducing costs, and increasing patient satisfaction. Facilities will do well to properly accommodate patient needs, but also to the needs of family, friends, nurses, doctors, and additional caregivers. The overall objective is to create a facility interior that makes patients as comfortable and cared for as possible. Creating a home-away-from-home and a reduction in stress can result in shorter hospitals stays, which benefits both the patient and the facility.

Q: Ajax post not working on datatables rendered button
I'm trying hard to get it done with JS as i'm pretty new to javascript.
I have datatable render <a> on one of the columns, which on.click opens bootstrap modal and send the values defined in it <a data-name="' +row.name+ '".....> etc to the input boxes in the modal.
Now there is Save button on the modal which should post the values of all these input boxes with ajax, but for some reason (which I might be missing) clicking on this button does nothing.
Here is the jsfiddle.

A: This is because your submit button is out of <form> scope.
Try to submit the form on click event or move the button inside <form> scope.

A: try this :-   clicking on this  passes values
 $("#submitBtn").on('click', function(e) {
     e.preventDefault();
     $.ajax({
         url: '/echo/html/',
         data: {
             html: "success"
         },
         type: "POST",
         data: $("#editUserForm").serialize(),
         contentType: false,
         cache: false,
         processData: false,
         success: function(data) {
             if (data === 'success') {
                 alert('Passed');
             } else {
                 alert('failed');
             }
         },
         error: function() {}
     });
 });

Eric's been enjoying, and doing great with, driving since he got his license. So much so that I haven't seen him since last Wednesday.
I'm having a bone density scan tomorrow just to get a baseline. I already know I'm dense, so what's the point?
KC is doing so-so with her obedience classes. Her toughest challenge is obeying the "leave it!" command when a refrigerator-sized bone is placed in the middle of the room; she has yet to master the ability to over-ride her salivating sensory receptors. We're working on it.
Eric has a follow up appointment with the orthopedist this Thursday. I think he's grown another inch, so does that mean another month of physical therapy? Let's hope not.
It's a wonder I get any reading done with these two on my lap vying for attention.

For Bjorn Lomborg, Shilling For Anti-Environmental Causes Is A Matter Of Life And Death
Written by Andrew Seifter
Bjorn Lomborg has argued for more coal use abroad and fewer electric cars here in the U.S., both times contorting the facts to cast his position as a way to keep people from dying. In each instance, Lomborg cloaks his anti-environmental positions in supposed concern for public health, rather than addressing the canary in the coal mine: The fact that coal emissions contribute to four of the five leading causes of death in the United States.
In a February 19 USA Today column, Lomborg, the President of the Copenhagen Consensus Center and a long-time electric car critic, asserted that we should "stop our green worship of the electric car," in part because it "surprisingly kills almost twice the number of people compared with regular gasoline cars." Lomborg was referring to a recent University of Minnesota study, which found that the pollution associated with electric vehicles powered by coal or "grid average" electricity result in more annual deaths than the pollution associated with vehicles run on conventional gasoline. Based on these findings, Lomborg concluded that "[i]nstead of focusing on electric cars, we should focus on making coal-fired power cleaner."
Of course, that wasn't the conclusion of the study Lomborg was citing. The University of Minnesota researchers instead emphasized that "electric vehicles (EVs) powered by electricity from natural gas or wind, water, or solar power are best for improving air quality, whereas vehicles powered by corn ethanol and EVs powered by coal are the worst." In other words, the solution is moving away from coal as quickly as possible, not scrapping electric cars.
Lomborg similarly invoked concerns about fatalities in a New York Times op-ed in December 2013, this time to argue that wealthy Western nations "should not stand in the way of poorer nations as they turn to coal and other fossil fuels." Citing a World Health Organization report showing that millions of people die prematurely from indoor air pollution related to cooking and heating homes with "open fires or leaky stoves," Lomborg claimed that encouraging poor countries to embrace coal-powered electricity would help them "cook in their own homes without slowly killing themselves." However, the same 2012 World Health Organization study also noted that "the inefficient combustion of coal" is one of the "major contributors" to outdoor air pollution, which is itself responsible for millions of premature deaths each year.
So to recap Lomborg's argument: Electric cars kill people because they are powered with coal, but poor countries should embrace coal in order to prevent deaths.
Lomborg's confounding logic has found a welcome home on Fox News, thanks to The Five host Greg Gutfeld. Last year, Gutfeld celebrated Earth Day by declaring, "we are condemning coal when billions of people around the world would die for coal. ... Instead they are burning dung and they're burning twigs inside their houses, killing 4 million people." Gutfeld returned to the subject several months later, stating: "[M]illions of poor people die each year for lack of coal. They burn impure crap that's literally crap -- dung!"
But as you might guess, Gutfeld's complaints about environmentalists "demonizing coal" did not prevent him from jumping on the University of Minnesota study to attack electric cars. The same day that Lomborg's column ran in USA Today, Gutfeld declared on The Five: "[M]ore people die because of electric cars than gas-powered automobiles. Fact."

Dec 17th, 2017: World Plague
Image of the Day Images that will blow your mind - every day. [Blog] [RSS] [XML]
There's a virus spreading, a plague labeled Neo-Nazism, cropping up world wide.
It varies in different place it's broken out but it's always the same cause. People, usually poor but sometimes just less well off than they were,
looking for someone to blame. Even people who know they have slipped down the socio-economic ladder from their own indolence can draw
attention away from their failure by backing this cause.
Of course they can't blame the majority or people too powerful, that would be a losing battle.
The target of hate must be a minority population without too much power like immigrants, different religions/color, all others.
Their right hands rise to black-clad chests and flash out in salute to their nation: "Sieg heil!" They praise Hitler's devotion to ethnic purity.
But with their high cheekbones, dark eyes and brown skin, they are hardly the Third Reich's Aryan ideal. A new strain of Nazism has found an unlikely home: Mongolia.
Once again, ultra-nationalists have emerged from an impoverished economy and turned upon outsiders. This time the main targets come from China, the rising power to the south.
Groups such as Tsagaan Khass, or White Swastika, portray themselves as patriots standing up for ordinary citizens in the face of foreign crime, rampant inequality, political indifference and corruption.
But critics say they scapegoat and attack the innocent. The US state department has warned travellers of increased assaults on inter-racial couples in recent years – including organised violence by ultra-nationalist groups.
The common tool is violence, at least the threat of.
Dayar Mongol threatened to shave the heads of women who sleep with Chinese men. Three years ago, the leader of Blue Mongol was convicted of murdering his daughter's boyfriend, reportedly because the young man had studied in China.
Though Tsagaan Khass leaders say they do not support violence, they are self-proclaimed Nazis. "Adolf Hitler was someone we respect. He taught us how to preserve national identity," said the 41-year-old co-founder, who calls himself Big Brother.
"We don't agree with his extremism and starting the second world war. We are against all those killings, but we support his ideology. We support nationalism rather than fascism."
It is, by any standards, an extraordinary choice. Under Hitler, Soviet prisoners of war who appeared Mongolian were singled out for execution. More recently, far-right groups in Europe have attacked Mongolian migrants.
Different country, same plague. sigh

Black Hawk helicopter completes first uninhabited flight
First flight of uninhabited helicopter: achievement made possible by development of flexible, extensible automation architecture.
The DARPA Aircrew Labor In-Cockpit Automation System (ALIAS) program completed a first ever flight of a UH-60A Black Hawk helicopter without anyone onboard. Sikorsky, a Lockheed Martin company, completed 30-minutes of uninhabited flight with the optionally piloted vehicle (OPV) over the U.S. Army installation at Fort Campbell, Kentucky on February 5th. An additional uninhabited flight was also conducted on February 7th.
The Black Hawk was retrofitted with Sikorsky MATRIX™ autonomy technologies that form the core of ALIAS and can change the way aviators and air crews execute their missions by providing assistance when flying with limited visibility or without communications.
ALIAS is a flexible, extensible automation architecture for existing manned aircraft that enables safe reduced crew operations, which facilitates the addition of high levels of automation into existing aircraft. It also provides a platform for integrating additional automation or autonomy capabilities tailored for specific missions.
"With reduced workloads pilots can focus on mission management instead of the mechanics," said Stuart Young, program manager in DARPA's Tactical Technology Office. "This unique combination of autonomy software and hardware will make flying both smarter and safer."
The ALIAS program has leveraged the considerable advances in aircraft automation systems over the past 50 years, as well as similar advances in remotely piloted aircraft. Even in today's most automated aircraft, pilots must still manage complex interfaces and respond to unexpected situations.
ALIAS aims to support execution of an entire mission from takeoff to landing, including autonomously handling contingency events such as aircraft system failures. Easy-to-use interfaces facilitate supervisor-ALIAS interaction.
"With ALIAS, the Army will have much more operational flexibility," said Young. "This includes the ability to operate aircraft at all times of the day or night, with and without pilots, and in a variety of difficult conditions, such as contested, congested, and degraded visual environments."
The Army is currently exploring potential use cases for technologies such as ALIAS, including those outlined in the U.S. Army's Future Vertical Lift (FVL) program.
Within the next month, the ALIAS program plans to conduct the first flight of a fly-by-wire M-model Black Hawk at Fort Eustis, Virginia.

It is easy enough to see in the figure what the Y axis label should look like; but to say in words, and then to write a function definition to do the job is another matter. It is not quite true to say that we want a number and a tic every five lines: there are only three lines between the '1' and the '5' (lines 2, 3, and 4), but four lines between the '5' and the '10' (lines 6, 7, 8, and 9). It is better to say that we want a number and a tic mark on the base line (number 1) and then that we want a number and a tic on the fifth line from the bottom and on every line that is a multiple of five.

Meeting with Prof. Anton Zeilinger, quantum physicist
Together with his team, in 1997 he carried out the first-ever quantum teleportation, and in an experiment in 2012, he managed to perform teleportation across nearly 150 km! It is thanks to Prof. Anton Zeilinger that quantum teleportation ceased to be a point of speculation, but has instead become a fact. The eminent Austrian physicist will deliver a lecture at the Copernicus Science Centre on 8 July 2015, entitled: Quantum Teleportation, Entanglement, and Einstein's Question "What is Light"?
Quantum Teleportation, Entanglement, and Einstein's Question "What is light"?
8 July, 7:00 pm, Copernicus Conference Centre (central entrance to the building). Entrance is free of charge, but attendees must register. The lecture will be translated.
Registration for this meeting is finished.
"Anyone who is not shocked by quantum theory has not understood it," said Niels Bohr, one of the pioneers of quantum mechanics – alongside Max Planck, Albert Einstein, Erwin Schrödinger and Werner Heisenberg. Albert Einstein called quantum mechanics "the most successful theory of our time" yet at the same time was among its critics. He did not accept that it did not assume a deterministic causality, but rather offered only probabilistic results. As he used to put it: "God does not play dice!"
Who is Anton Zeilinger?
Anton Zeilinger (born 20 May 1945) works in quantum mechanics, specializing in interferometry. He is a professor of experimental physics at the University of Vienna, and also heads the Institute of Quantum Physics and Quantum Information of the Austrian Academy of Sciences. He holds an honorary doctorate from the University of Gdańsk and has won many awards, including the Wolf Prize in Physics (2010) and the Isaac Newton Prize (2007).
The Austrian researcher studies fundamental phenomena on the micro-scale. He is one of the best contemporary experimental physicists, successfully combining theoretical and experimental work. He demonstrates experimentally things that quantum theorists have put forward as speculation. The results of Zeilinger's experiments at the University of Vienna demonstrate that nothing in the micro-world is determined until it has been observed*, that the forces that act on us in the world do not necessarily have to be of a local nature, meaning that they do not have to stem only from our nearby environment. The world may be non-local.
Together with his team in 1997 he carried out the first-ever case of quantum teleportation between two photons. In another well-known experiment in 2012, his team managed to teleport a quantum state between entangled photons at a distance of 150 km from the island La Palma to Tenerife. It is thanks to him that quantum teleportation ceased to be a point of speculation, but has instead become a fact.
Scientists engaged in fundamental research work generally do not concern themselves with what purpose their discoveries might one day be used for. They are absorbed by theory itself to such an extent that they leave developing applications of their findings to others. But Prof. Zeilinger told science journalist Piotr Cieśliński from Gazeta Wyborcza: "When I was starting out 30 years ago, the oddities of quantum mechanics astounded me. So I decided to try to take a closer look at them in the lab, although I was advised not to, encouraged instead to do studies that stood a chance of practical application. But I stuck to my guns, though back then no one knew such knowledge would one day prove useful – in new methods of cryptography, teleportation, and quantum computers." Quantum mechanics is helping give rise to new technologies. A system of quantum cryptography has already been created, and quantum computers would even more spectacular – although they still remain in the realm of dreams, every successive experiment related to quantum teleportation brings us closer to making them a reality. Such computers would have incredible capacity and would not have to be continually modernized.
Come attend a lecture by Prof. Anton Zeilinger, who will talk about quantum mechanics in an easily-accessible way.
The lecture is organized jointly with the Faculty of Physics University of Warsaw.

NGBAFocus of gay tourney in Utah? Hoops
THE DESERT NEWS SALT LAKE CITY
ByDeborah Bulkeley
Published: July 29, 2006 12:00 am
Utah's conservative religious and political climate won't be on Mark Chambers' mind when he comes to Salt Lake to play basketball this fall.
It's the first time the National Gay Basketball Association will be holding a tournament in Utah.
"If we can have a positive experience and get people excited about basketball, that's the key," Chambers said.
Local organizer Jeff Sanchez agreed. Anti-gay measures such as Utah's constitutional ban on same-sex marriage, he said, are "not an issue for us. We're just here to play."
Some 16 teams from across the country will compete in the NGBA tournament Oct. 28-29 at the University of Utah. Chambers said the league chose Utah as part of efforts to expand tournament locations.
"I'm excited — it's a new place to go," he said. "If you go to the same place all the time, it gets boring."
While it's the first time the tournament will be held in Salt Lake, it's not the first time Utah teams have participated in national, or international sporting events.
This month Sanchez was among about 100 members of Team Salt Lake who competed in the Gay Games VII in Chicago. The international tournament, modeled after the Olympics, is held every four years.
Sanchez, part of a bronze-medal-winning basketball team, said such sporting events provide a sense of camaraderie and openness that regular events can lack for gays and lesbians.
"I think gay athletes, in general, feel excluded from sports," he said. "There's always some part of you that holds back. It's fun to be able to compete in sports you're good at without having to worry about your orientation."
Doug Fadel, captain of QUAC, Queer Utah Aquatic Club, and co-chairman of Team Salt Lake, said such sporting events help to dispel myths about Utah.
"People were really surprised there was such a big team from Salt Lake City," he said of the Gay Games. "I'm sure that will be the impression of the basketball teams when they come."
While handfuls of Utahns have participated in the games in the past, this year marked the largest-ever showing, and most organized. Salt Lake athletes brought home several medals.
Fadel said there is also an annual QUAC Ski and Swim aquatic invitational each Presidents Day. This year, 60 people from Utah and across the country participated, and 100 are expected next year. And, he said, a good number of straight athletes participate. The teams participate in local leagues.
"It puts a face on an issue," he said. "You have to deal with them as a person. You can't deal with it as a perceived group. It's hard to discriminate against people you know and like, and see are just like you."
Gay sporting events have been around for years, and are growing in popularity, Sanchez said. There have been gay basketball tournaments since the early 1990s.
The NGBA formed about 2 1/2 years ago and has since helped organize leagues in Salt Lake and some other cities. It also hosts about six national tournaments each year.

Northanger Abbey Volume 2, Chapter 4 Summary & Analysis
LitCharts assigns a color and icon to each theme in Northanger Abbey, which you can use to track the themes throughout the work.
Catherine watches Isabella's behavior over the next few days. Isabella gives just as much attention to Captain Tilney as to James when they are all in public together. Catherine resents this behavior, although she thinks Isabella is unaware of the suffering she is causing James. Catherine also pities Captain Tilney, whom she believes must be unaware of Isabella's engagement and bound to be disappointed when he learns of it. She hints to Isabella that her behavior is causing pain, but Isabella does not react to her hints. Catherine is dismayed to learn that Captain Tilney will not accompany his family when they leave Bath.
The tables have turned. Catherine, who was unable to understand Isabella's hints about her feelings for James, now tries to hint to Isabella that she is hurting James and leading Captain Tilney on. Catherine is too innocent and sincere to recognize Isabella for a hypocrite and a manipulator, who is ignoring her hints on purpose because she hopes to marry Captain Tilney instead of James.
Catherine speaks to Henry Tilney and asks him to tell Captain Tilney that Isabella is engaged to James. Henry says that his brother knows of the engagement, and then tries to change the subject. Catherine persists, saying he should advise his brother to leave Bath, because he is only making the inevitable sorrow of losing Isabella to James more painful for himself by staying. Henry says that his brother knows what he is doing, but Catherine counters that he could not know that he is hurting James. Henry says that "no man is offended by another man's admiration of the woman he loves; it is the woman only who can make it a torment." Catherine is embarrassed for Isabella.
Catherine is still thought of and treated like a child by her parents, and she has not yet ceased to expect that people ought to be told what is right and what is wrong. Catherine cannot conceive of Frederick's behavior as anything but a sign of love, not realizing that he may be hypocritically leading Isabella on and just pretending to love her. Henry tries to gently suggest to Catherine that Isabella, James, and Frederick are all adults, and must be responsible for their own behavior.
Catherine agrees that Isabella's behavior has been bad, but insists that Isabella loves James very much. Henry will not explain explicitly what he thinks his brother's aims are, only saying that he "is a lively, and perhaps sometime a thoughtless young man." Catherine persists, asking if perhaps General Tilney should intercede to force Captain Tilney to leave. Henry comments that she is perhaps pressing too far, noting that James could not possibly want Isabella's love if it is only his when no one else is nearby. Henry says that perhaps Isabella's flirtation with Frederick is well-understood by James and fits into their relationship's dynamic. His final comfort to Catherine is to say that his brother will likely leave Bath only a few days after him, and Isabella and James may laugh over the episode together after that. Catherine finally allows herself to be comforted.
Henry hints but doesn't state explicitly that Frederick is merely flirting with Isabella and does not mean anything by it. This kind of relationship is utterly unfamiliar to Catherine. Henry explains that a healthy relationship can tolerate flirtation, if the man and woman understand one another's intentions and actions. Isabella and James's loyalty to one another should supersede the casual flirtation Isabella is having with Frederick, or their love is not real. Catherine cannot imagine that Isabella and James have a dysfunctional relationship, and assumes that the flirtation must be acceptable within the context of their relationship as Henry suggests.
Catherine is also comforted by her last meeting with Isabella before she leaves. Isabella seems to express more affection towards Catherine than she does towards James, but Catherine thinks of what Henry Tilney said, and decides that perhaps this is just how James and Isabella's relationship operates.
Catherine does not realize that Isabella wishes to maintain their relationship because she hopes that she too, as well as Catherine, will marry into the Tilney family. Instead, Catherine lets herself be comforted by what Henry Tilney said about how a relationship should work.

This post was written in partnership with Tasteful Selections.
I love a tender baked potato loaded with toppings. But in the chilly winter months, I want something that's more of a "stick to your ribs" kind of food. For me, that would be a hearty, steaming bowl of soup.
I set out to create a soup that incorporated all the delicious flavors of a baked potato in a thick, creamy soup. If you are skipping carbs, you'll want to skip this soup. It's loaded with delicious carb after carb and is the perfect comfort food to cuddle up with when binging on your favorite Netflix series.
To prepare this soup, I used my go-to, bagged potatoes from Tasteful Selections. They are easy to prep, are full of flavor, and cook quickly.
1. In a large saucepan, fry bacon until crisp, drain on a paper towel.
2. To the bacon drippings in the pan, add potatoes, celery, carrots, onion, salt, pepper, water, and broth. Cook covered for about 15 minutes or until potatoes are fork-tender.
3. Combine flour with a 1/4 cup of milk. Whisk until smooth. Add to potato mixture along with the remaining milk. Stir to incorporate ingredients.
4. Cook over medium heat until mixture boils. Turn heat to low and cook for 5 minutes.
5. Garnish with desired toppings and serve.
Not only is Tasteful Selections producing delicious and high quality potatoes, its also giving back to the community. Tasteful Selections is donating profits from specially marked bags of Ruby Sensation and Honey Gold potatoes to support your local Katie's Krops grower. Katie's Krops growers are part of a non-profit organization empowering children and teens ages 9 – 16 across the US to grow gardens and donate their fresh harvest to the hungry.

Redesigned Research Exchange opens access to scholarship
By Nella Letizia, WSU Libraries
PULLMAN, Wash. – Federal agencies were told in 2013 to ensure public access to federally funded research through national repositories. Washington State University researchers receiving federal funding have a ready and local tool for making their work accessible: the Research Exchange at WSU Libraries.
The newly redesigned repository promotes the preservation and sharing of scholarship produced at the university. All WSU faculty members, staff, students and affiliates can share their research in any digital format, including articles, book chapters, working papers, technical reports, conference presentations, datasets, images, media and more.
"The power of research is not fully realized unless it is shared," said Jay Starratt, dean of libraries. "From the publication of the first science journal in 1665, scholars have disseminated their research with others who share their interests and ambitions. WSU Research Exchange continues that tradition."
A solution to the scholarly communication crisis
Rising journal costs have forced scholars and libraries to consider other options for disseminating and accessing scholarly work, said Talea Anderson, WSU Libraries' scholarly communication librarian.
According to a 2012 report on academic libraries published by the National Center for Education Statistics, U.S. academic libraries spent $2.8 billion in fiscal year 2012 to purchase information resources; almost $2 billion of that went to journal subscriptions. The Association of Research Libraries reports that the rate of journal expenditures has risen 402 percent from 1986 to 2011.
"As an alternative to the traditional model of scholarly communication, these dissatisfied groups have proposed open access – a model that makes digital copies of research freely available to the general public," Anderson said.
Why use Research Exchange?
Faculty and other authors post their work to repositories like Research Exchange for several reasons, Anderson explained. Some published works are prohibitively expensive to buy in print. Authors want the convenience of sending interested readers to a website to download the works rather than emailing them.
"We believe Research Exchange can be useful in rapidly communicating faculty research to scholars around the world," she said. "The repository is instrumental in increasing the impact and longevity of the university's scholarship.
"As a public land-grant institution that received $125 million in federal funding in fiscal year 2014, WSU has an opportunity to take the lead in increasing access to key research findings," she said.
Ties to land-grant mission
The open access model aligns with WSU's land-grant mission of service to society. In 2014, WSU completed a 120-day study of its research enterprise that yielded the Grand Challenges, five key priorities that team WSU researchers with scholars around the world – as well as federal and state agencies, national laboratories, business and civic leaders and philanthropists – to target critical national and global problems.
"The Grand Challenges offer a better understanding of how local expertise can be more widely shared with regional and global audiences, a mission in keeping with open access publishing," Anderson said.
As of early December, WSU's Research Exchange has 4,678 items, 199 collections and 5,255 authors. Between 2011 and 2015, the site recorded 715,971 page views and 1.43 million primary file downloads, Anderson said.
The most popular item in the last 12 months is a "Catalog Calculator," downloaded and viewed 8,654 times. The calculator finds variable and fixed MARC (machine-readable cataloging record) fields, language codes, geographic area codes and more.
Other well-used items last year were an honors thesis on Beethoven's piano sonatas; an invitation poster for President Elson S. Floyd's welcome reception in 2007; a clinical project paper on sleep deprivation in the college student; and a master's thesis on theme and experience in restaurant design.
WSU researchers and authors can share their work on Research Exchange by sending a short email to libraries.research@wsu.edu giving WSU Libraries permission to post their work and attaching a CV or publications list. The libraries will seek copyright permissions to post the digital items.
Alternatively, authors can navigate to the Research Exchange site (http://research.libraries.wsu.edu) and click on the "Share Your Work" button at the top of the page. A tutorial will walk them through describing and uploading files; WSU Libraries staff will finalize the submission.
To learn more about Research Exchange, contact Anderson (talea.anderson@wsu.edu) and read the FAQs or the library guide to scholarly communication services at WSU.

A.R. Gurney Listened to Critics, Wrote This Triptych of Stupidity
By Rex Reed • 10/04/18 11:04am
Colin Hanlon and Rachel Nicks star in A.R. Gurney's superficial and unfocused 'Final Follies' James Leynse
A.R. ("Pete") Gurney was my good friend and Connecticut neighbor, and a prolific, award-winning playwright who dedicated his career to the pursuit of saluting the survival of the American WASP.
In dozens of novels, opera librettos and hit plays such as Love Letters, The Dining Room, The Cocktail Party and Sylvia, he was a one-man system of checks and balances chronicling the world of White Anglo-Saxon Protestants the way Woody Allen and Neil Simon kept Jewish humor alive and kicking. But like many great writers, the critics eventually picked him apart like carrion, often labeling his work "old-fashioned." Before he died unexpectedly on June 13, 2017, he resolved to prove that he could write the kind of hip, cursory, very often incomprehensible contemporary gibberish today's so-called reviewers adore.
The result, a Primary Stages production directed by David Saint and currently on view off-Broadway at the historic Cherry Lane Theatre in Greenwich Village, is a theatrical "about face" in the form of three farcical one-acts about "the waning of the WASP culture" under the umbrella title Final Follies. While it is always a treat to experience new work (or any work) by Gurney, I must truthfully confess I found this compilation the second-rate output of a talented man on an off day with nothing better to do. The final play out of his word processor, along with two older plays dredged up from his filing cabinet, are, I admit with sad regret, a disappointing compromise, and not his finest work.
Subscribe to Observer's Arts Newsletter
In the title play, Nelson (Colin Hanlon), an uptight former bank manager and member of a snobbish Manhattan WASP family of button-down squares, seeks the key to manhood by auditioning for—and getting—a job as a porno star. When his churchgoing brother shows up to restore him to the good graces of his old guard family, everyone realizes it's too late. Nelson has run away with the receptionist and discovered it's more fun to be a degenerate than a WASP.
In the earliest, emptiest and most pointless of the three plays, The Rape of Bunny Stuntz, the excellent Broadway veteran Deborah Rush plays a chirpy dispenser of phony charm who chairs a community club meeting that exists for the purpose of cheering up people with dull, dreary lives while trying to conceal her own lustful private life. She suspects a man in the parking lot honking the horn of a red Impala is someone who wants to join the club meeting, but he shouts out that he just wants to return the key to the club box that contains the endless memos a good WASP lady needs, claiming she gave it to him last Tuesday. Impossible, because her Tuesday schedule is overcrowded with errands, shopping, appointments and good works. Oh, well, maybe she overlooked her chores that day, and OK, he is sexy. When he pitches the key in through the window it opens the box, but—the box is empty. Say what?
The equally pointless and chaotic Love Course centers on the final class in an undergraduate course in romantic literature taught by two eccentric neurotics, and the two students who took the course for all the wrong reasons and end up teaching it. There's a tremendous amount of academic talk about the literature of love, encompassing everything from Plato's Symposium to Shakespeare, Emily Brontë and Flaubert's Madame Bovary, but although most of it is intelligent, the sentences are like loose ends of string that never connect or add up to anything meaningful. Betsy Aidem has moments of hysteria as the loony, flamboyant professor whose contrast has not been renewed, but it all collapses in a puddle of confusion.
Final Follies is unlike anything A.R. Gurney has ever written. This is not a good thing, because satirizing the time-honored traditions and behavioral patterns of the WASP lifestyle is not his strength. The evening is a triptych of need, desire and stupidity that underscores the frustration of an author who unwisely surrendered to the charge of being "passé" when he had nothing to prove, improve, or apologize for. Every successful playwright has written plays with varying degrees of triumph and failure, but I've never seen anything from A.R. Gurney as superficial and unfocused as Final Follies.

Q: Проблема с background при изменении окна браузера При сужении окна или при добавлении в дом дерево элемента который выше окна браузера появляется скрол (что логично) и при прокрутке на месте бэкграунда белая пропасть, которая исчезает при перезагрузке страницы. Можно ли этого избежать (то есть хотелось бы в таких случаях чтобы бэкграунд автоматически заполнил пробел)
код стиля фона
.bg_image{
  width: 100%;
  height: 100vh;
  background-image: url("../assets/img/bground_image.jpg");
  background-repeat: no-repeat;
  background-attachment: fixed;
  background-position: center center;
  background-size: cover;
}

визуализация проблемы в картинке при сужении окна сфлоаченный элемент уходит вниз и образуется белое пятно

A: В идеале конечно видеть весь код, но постараюсь ответить так.
Высота блока установлена в 100vh. Соответственно больше чем высота экрана блок никак не станет. Соответственно элементы которые не помещаются в эту высоту - вылезают наружу.
Если допустимо чтобы этот блок с фоном растягивался на высоту большую чем 100vh, то замените
height: 100vh; на min-height: 100vh;
Так же не забывайте о "распорке" когда используете флоаты. На родителя в котором лежат зафлоаченые блоки нужно повесить класс .clearfix
.clearfix::after {
  content: "";
  clear: both;
  display: table;
}

Если же нужно чтобы блок с фоном не превышал высоту экрана, тогда остаётся лишь обрезать элементы, которые в него не помещаются. Тут в помощь overflow: hidden; на этот самый блок c фоном.

A: Собственно тут три решения:

*

*вы можете задать padding-bottom: 200px; (например и тогда картинка увеличится и элемент не вылезет),В общем то если ставите fixed или absolute это значит элемент будет декоративен,т.е высчитать высоту без js не реально чтобы подстроить(возможно манипуляции в css(calc())). И поставить overflow-y: hidden; где y вертикаль.

*зафлоаченные блоки выпадают из контейнера(им нужно задать высоту или clearfix)

*Средствами js просчитывается высота окна и на основе этого увеличивается padding, погуглите думаю найдете.

вот пример вашей проблемы:
https://next.plnkr.co/edit/OcmdOiOAdSMX81qG?open=lib%2Fscript.js&preview

A: Помогло добавленние в класс с фоном overflow-y: scroll;  и ненавязчивая кастомизация скроллбара
::-webkit-scrollbar { width: 3px; height: 3px;}
::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb { height: 40px; background-color: #327389; border-radius: 3px;}

GLOVAL SERVICES COALITION: BETTER OFFERS ON SERVICES ESSENTIAL TO DOHA ROUND
(Geneva, Switzerland) The Global Services Coalition today insisted that services must be seen as one of the three key market access pillars of the Doha Round of global trade talks, along with agriculture and non-agricultural market access (NAMA). The Coalition emphasized that, at this critical juncture in the negotiations, when real movement may be within reach, it is indispensable that the three pillars are inextricably linked.
"Services, along with agriculture and NAMA, have been part of the Single Undertaking from the outset of the Doha Round," said delegation leader Sergio Marchi, Chairman of the Canadian Services Coalition and former Canadian Ambassador to the WTO. "It is vital that WTO members accept the close linkage among the three pillars, and understand that an ambitious outcome in services is necessary in order for the Coalition and its members to support the conclusion of the Round."
The Coalition also expressed strong support for the "signalling exercise" – an ongoing process of bilateral meetings and discussions among senior officials and ministers – to encourage key countries to improve their services offers so as to demonstrate the potential benefits available from concessions across all three pillars of the Round. In its meetings in Geneva, the Coalition urged that WTO Members use the signalling exercise, and the Ministerial level Signalling Conference that will follow it, to make clear that they are ready to make significant improvements in their services offers.
The Coalition has said repeatedly that such improvements should include both the binding of existing levels of openness, and new liberalization. The Coalition welcomed the decision of WTO Director General Pascal Lamy to convene, chair and report on the Signalling Conference on services. This conference will have the same level of political importance as the ministerial green rooms meeting on Agriculture and NAMA , and the unambiguous commitment of the Director General will be a tremendous asset for its success.
The Coalition also called for a services text, to provide political guidance on the level of ambition for services. However, the Coalition warned that the Signalling Conference and the text were not ends in themselves, but simply means by which to work toward the objective of substantial services offers, with the maximum number of bindings and new offers in as many of the key service sectors as possible.
"That is the ultimate goal," said Marchi. "We hope that the Signalling Conference and the services text will reaffirm that goal clearly, so that WTO members can quickly do the necessary work to produce commercially significant new services offers. Whatever their stage of development, their economies will benefit from ready access to efficient modern services."
The Global Services Coalition has been, and continues to be, a staunch supporter of the Doha Round. A successful conclusion to the Round, especially at this period of economic uncertainty, will send a very positive signal to the the global economy. By reducing trade barriers to services, goods, and agriculture, the Round will promote global economic growth, and will demonstrate that WTO members are determined to shun protectionism. The Global Services Coalition is comprised of the service industry associations of Australia, Brazil, Canada, the Caribbean region, the EU, Hong Kong, Japan, New Zealand, Taiwan, and the United States.

The European Data Protection Board takes stock
The European Data Protection Board (EDPB) has issued its annual report for 2018. The report provides information on the EDPB's work in the first seven months after the GDPR entered into force and outlines the EDPB's plans for the future.
Since the coming into force of the GDPR on 25 May 2018, the European Data Protection Board (EDPB) has been tasked with ensuring consistent application of the GDPR across the EEA and promoting effective cooperation between the national supervisory authorities. The EDPB replaced the Article 29 Working Party and is composed of representatives of the national supervisory authorities, including the Danish Data Protection Agency.
The EDPB recently issued its annual report for 2018, taking stock of its work and activities in 2018. These activities e.g. included:
Endorsement of 16 guidelines established by the former Article 29 Working Party and adoption of four additional guidelines, including guidelines on the territorial scope of the GDPR and international transfers
Adoption of 26 Consistency Opinions under article 64 of the GDPR regarding the national supervisory authorities' obligation to request an opinion by the EDPB in a number of situations, including by the adoption of a list of the processing operations subject to the requirement for a data protection impact assessment
Consultation of stakeholders and ensuring transparency with regard to the EDPB's work for the purpose of ensuring the widest degree of harmonisation in the application of the rules of the GDPR
Strengthening the cooperation between the national supervisory authorities
The report further describes a number of decisions made by the national supervisory authorities after the GDPR took effect.
In early 2019, the EDPB adopted a two-year work programme for 2019-2020, which is also mentioned in the report. The work programme describes the EDPB's intention to adopt more guidelines as well as its focus areas, including data subjects' rights and the controller's legitimate interest.
The annual report of the EDPB can be read here.

Must the Data Protection Agency be notified in case of an "internal" personal data breach?
The Data Protection Agency has expressed criticism of a municipality, inter alia, because the municipality had failed to notify a personal data breach to the Agency or communicate the breach to the affected employee.
Right of access to internal working documents? Must the names of employees be disclosed?
According to the Data Protection Agency, an insurance company was justified in not providing access to an internal working document as well as the names of the company's employees to a former customer.
Control measures: duty to provide information and transparency
The Data Protection Agency recently completed five inspections focused on employers' duty to provide information when using control measures towards employees.
Access to work emails? Can a request to access data be too extensive?
Under the GDPR, a data controller must provide a data subject with access to all personal data which the data controller processes about him or her, if the data subject requests it. However, the data controller may refuse to act on such a request if, for example, the scope of the request for access is excessive.

Martin Tajmar (* 2. Juli 1974 in Wien) ist ein österreichischer Physikingenieur, Professor für Raumfahrtsysteme und Direktor des Instituts für Luft- und Raumfahrttechnik an der Technischen Universität Dresden sowie Lehrbeauftragter an der Technischen Universität Wien.

Leben
Tajmar begann seine Arbeit auf dem Gebiet der elektrischen Raumfahrtantriebe an der Technischen Universität Wien in Österreich. Nach einem Aufenthalt am Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Kalifornien bei der NASA und der Tätigkeit als Geschäftsführer von Austrospace folgte eine Forschungstätigkeit am ESTEC der Europäischen Weltraumorganisation ESA.

Ab 2000 zunächst als Senior/Principal Scientist leitete Martin Tajmar von 2005 bis 2010 das Geschäftsfeld Space Propulsion (später "Space Propulsion and Advanced Concepts") des Austrian Institute of Technology (AIT) in Seibersdorf. Dort entwickelte Tajmar mit seiner Abteilung eine Form von Ionenantrieb, sogenannte Feep-Thruster (Field Emission Electric Propulsion-Thruster) für Satelliten und Sonden, wie z. B. für SMART-1 und LISA Pathfinder.
Von 2010 bis 2012 forschte und lehrte er als Associate Professor für Aerospace Engineering am KAIST in Daejeon, Südkorea und war Leiter der Stabsstelle Aerospace Engineering an der FH Wiener Neustadt.

Weitere Forschungsaktivitäten von Martin Tajmar waren u. a. auf dem Gebiet des Biefeld-Brown-Effekts und des Casimir-Effekts.

Nicht wiederholbare Experimente zur Gravitation
Tajmar behauptete, in seinen Experimenten mit schnell rotierenden Supraleitern aus Niob ein Äquivalent zum Magnetismus für Gravitation nachgewiesen zu haben.
Daher wurde über diese Arbeiten in überregionalen Medien berichtet. Der gemessene gravito-magnetische Effekt schien um viele Größenordnungen größer zu sein, als nach der bekannten Theorie des Lense-Thirring-Effekts zu erwarten war (Faktor ).
Tajmar hat auch eine Theorie des behaupteten Effekts entwickelt;
diese steht jedoch im Widerspruch zu Ergebnissen eines Experiments mit einem rotierenden Zylinder aus supraleitendem Blei und Laser-Gyroskopen an der University of Canterbury, Neuseeland.

Neuere Arbeiten von Tajmar deuten auf eine Fehlinterpretation seiner Messresultate hin. Möglicherweise beeinflusste das zur Kühlung verwendete flüssige Helium die Messapparatur.

Akademische Grade
 1997 Dipl.-Ing., Fachrichtung Technische Physik, Technische Universität Wien, Österreich
 1998 Master in Space Studies (MSS), International Space University, Frankreich
 1999 Promotion zum Dr.-Ing. an der Fakultät für Elektrotechnik der Technischen Universität Wien.

Auszeichnungen
 2001: ARC-Award des Austrian Research Centers (heute Austrian Institute of Technology), erster Preis in der Kategorie Wissenschaft
 2001 und 2000: Förderung durch das Programm "Window on Science" der US Air Force
 1999: Förderung durch das Programm "Internationale Kommunikation" der österreichischen Forschungsgemeinschaft

Qatar 2022 FIFA World cup: 'Our focus is on South Africa'— CK Akonnor not interested in destructive talks | Halftimegh.com
Ghana Black Stars gaffer, C.K Akonnor has stated emphatically that his team is focused on tomorrow's game.
The Black Stars are in Group G with Ethiopia, Zimbabwe, and South Africa as they are battle for a spot in the final qualifying stage for the Qatar 2022 FIFA World Cup.
Ghana sits top of the group with 3 points after a narrow win over Ethiopia at Cape Coast Stadium last Friday from Mubarak Wakaso's strike on the 38th-minute mark.
The team will play against the Bafana Bafana tomorrow at FNB Stadium in South Africa at exactly 4:00 pm.
At the pre-match conference, Akonnor said the most important thing is to be efficient against their opponents.
"What is important is that we have to be efficient, against Ethiopia we didn't excite you guys but we were efficient because we won as it stands now, we are on top"
"We are not going to be influenced by the pressure or whoever is commenting to disturb us. I said we are focused, we are here, we've seen South Africa against Zimbabwe and we have a strategy and we will be that it will work.
"We believe that even if they change their style of play we will find an antidote to it and move out of this place with three points" – He concluded
Ghana has lost just once in their previous nine encounters with South Africa and hasn't lost a competitive game against the Bafana Bafana since February 2000.

Containers have soared in popularity among developers for the simple reason that they make their lives easier. But the spirit of open source software is that there's always a way to improve, through a community of collaborators.
Count Vish Abrams and his team at Oracle among that community.
"The thing that excites me and keeps me motivated is constantly getting to deal with new challenges, new problems, and new technical spaces," says Abrams, the former CTO of the OpenStack company Nebula and now an Oracle architect for cloud development.
Abrams' Oracle team just released three free tools—Smith, Crashcart, and Railcar—to open source focused on container performance and security. They're utilities that Oracle created for its own use, as the company deploys containers to run its fast-growing Oracle Cloud business.
Abrams is a veteran of open source and cloud startups, elected to four terms as the OpenStack Compute Project technical lead. So he is as surprised as anyone that he has happily spent the last two years at a company as big as Oracle.
Abrams is part of a larger team—many of whose members were lured from open source startups and cloud companies such as Amazon Web Services—that built Oracle's cloud infrastructure, Oracle Bare Metal Cloud Service. Many of them are now working on higher-level cloud services for Oracle, including applying AI and machine learning to cloud operations to help customers become adaptive enterprises.
"In many ways, it's like a startup inside Oracle," Abrams says.
The Smith, Crashcart, and Railcar utilities offer just one example of the kind of innovative work the Oracle Cloud development team is doing. Making the utilities open source means the community can help improve them by contributing back their own innovations, and it also means that anyone can use them for free.
Consider the reasons behind Smith, on which the Oracle team began work more than two years ago. Developers creating a new app love how containers let them bring in any operating system, any app update approach, any programming language. Sweet freedom!
So Oracle created Smith using the Open Container Initiative (OCI) industry standard image format (so it's still compatible with Docker, which is the go-to container platform), but with restrictions aimed at making the container as predictable as possible in production. Abrams describes these minimized containers as microcontainers. For example, Smith recommends you require all container files to be read-only, so someone can't accidentally change a container. Companies are crafting similar restrictions and standards on their own for containers, but Smith provides a head start.
The other two projects also arose from Oracle's needs in running its high-volume Oracle Cloud.
The team actually built Crashcart to solve a problem that Smith creates. To make microcontainers with only the essentials to run your app, as Smith does, it means stripping out debugging tools. That makes containers harder to debug if something does go wrong. So, Crashcart is a tool that helps debug microcontainers.
Railcar is a bit different than the other two, because it's "more of a research project," Abrams says, since Oracle isn't using it in production. Railcar is a container runtime built using the Rust language, rather than the Go or C language that is most commonly used. The OCI standards include a runtime spec, which lets developers create alternative container runtimes such as Railcar. With Railcar, Abrams' team aimed to create a simple runtime implementation that allowed for experimentation, which is needed in these still-early days of container adoption to "make the spec better," he says.
Abrams is candid about Oracle's two-fold motivations for making these tools open source. Oracle wants the community's feedback and code contributions to make the tools better, since "it's always better when there are more people helping," he says. And, Oracle wants to expand its presence in the open source community, and the Oracle Cloud team knows that happens only by contributing good code and being a steady and generous participant in the community. With hard work and humility, Abrams thinks Oracle will win over open source skeptics—just as it won over Abrams.


One of the major attractions of Dehradun city, Buddha temple is famous for its extravagant Buddhists structure and holy school of Tibetian religion. The temple is located at clement town and is the cynosure for many international tourists across the world. Several Buddists preachers and followers arrive here in large number from catty-corners.
Buddha temple is a Tibetan monastery that is also famous as Mindrolling Monastery and was built in 1965 by Kochen Rinpoche and few other monks that were engrossed in the protection and promotion of cultural and religious sentiments of Buddhism. Developed in sync with the Japanese architecture, Buddha temple complex doles out pleasing and serene ambience and enthralls large number of people. The complex of Buddha temple was created as one of the four schools of Tibetan religion and was known as Byigma which other similar schools were known as Sakya, Kagyu and Geluk respectively.
Budha temple is one of the largest Buddhist reliquaries in Asia and is visited by several tourists across the world. The temple is a beautiful place of 220 feet in height and comprises five floors enshrine statues of Buddha and Guru Padmasambhava. First three floors dole out mesmerizing experience and comprise luring wall painting that may stun everyone. These paintings illustrate life of Lord Buddha and are painted in pure gold color. It is believed that around 50 artists took over three years to make these intricate and beautiful paintings.
Another major attraction of Buddha temple lies at the fourth floor. There is a steep wooden ladder that leads to open circled viewing platform which provides beautiful 360 degree view to Doon valley. There is 103 feet tall stature of Lord Buddha which is worth seeing. The place is devoted to the famous spiritual leader of Tibetan people, Dalai Lama. Visitors are completely enchanted by the glorious sights here and love spending time at the well-maintained and decked up garden area. With intricate designs of paintings and serenity of Doon valley, travelers get a chance to experience true essence of Buddhism.
The temple complex also has a series of shopping and eating joints. A small book store is also located here that comprises different books on Buddhism. There are different shops that sell clothes, articrafts, handicrafts that are made by Buddhists people. Around 500 Buddhists study in the temple complex. The temple authority takes care of the lamas who stay here and provide them free accommodation, food, clothing and many other amenities.
The shops at the temple stay open for all the seven days but the temple stays open only on Sunday. Visitors are requested to enter the main hall of the temple after removing shoes.
Budha Temple is located at Dehradun. It is situated in clement town on Delhi-Saharanpur Road and is just 4kms away from ISBT, Dehradun.

MIDDLETOWN >> As the Common Council readies to make its final decision on school funding for the next financial year, the pool of money from which schools throughout the state draw has become unexpectedly shallow.
In a report prepared by the Connecticut Conference of Municipalities, the Common Council learned that the amount of school funding they can expect from the state is dramatically lower than anticipated. According to the CCM report, the state General Assembly's Appropriations Committee has proposed nearly $1.3 million less in grant funding for Middletown than Gov. Dannel Malloy proposed in his budget.
If you factor in a differential in Local Capital Improvement Program (LoCIP) funding, that shortfall is over $1.9 million.
Statewide, the Appropriations Committee is proposing just over $149 million less in education cost-sharing grants than the governor proposed, CCM reported.
Councilman Thomas Serra told the Press that if the city intended to make up that dramatic a difference, local taxes would have to go up roughly four-tenths of a mill--six-tenths if you factor in the LoCIP funding.
The CCM report was delivered April 23--over a month after the Board of Education finalized its proposed budget for the 2013-14 school year.
School officials are considering options to cope with the bad news.
"Elizabeth Nocera, she's our full-time grants writer, she looked at us and said 'you won't be able to hold onto what you have,'" said Theodore Raczka, who chairs the board's budget committee. "We don't have many good choices."
Board members and teachers have bemoaned the prospect of increasing class size before the Common Council as budget deliberations have unfolded.
Regardless of whether or not the district will end up laying off teachers, which it has already said it will have to do, class sizes will likely edge upward based only on the teachers leaving the district.
The board's proposed budget--which predated the bad news about state money--called for consolidating some teacher positions through attrition, cutting three custodial positions and shuffling other personnel into different roles.
Building substitutes, for one, have met with widespread support from teachers and administrators. A building sub would be based out of one specific facility and cover for teachers or teacher's aides more comprehensively than a conventional substitute teacher could. The allotment for building subs in the proposed budget is $475,000, drawing off of $400,600 which was cut from daily subs' salaries.
Administrative salaries are up 13 percent--or just $379,376--in the proposed budget. Administrators, just like teachers, are entitled to yearly raises and periodic "step" adjustments based on the contracts they sign.
The big hit in the board's budget proposal comes from benefit increases--based on their projections, they expect to pay out over $1 million more in health insurance during the next school year than they paid this year. That figure alone accounts for over one fifth of the board's proposed budget increase of just over $5 million.
Mayor Daniel Drew has proposed an increase of $3 million for the school board's budget for the next year.
The mayor's proposed school budget is part of a larger $138 million budget for fiscal year 2013-2014. The Common Council will announce its decision at a meeting Wednesday at 7 p.m. at council chambers. The council then sends its revised budget back to the mayor for his signature or veto.
