SCS COVID Guidance and FAQs
Effective for the MOdified services posture, As of january 5, 2022
Check back regularly for updated Q&A!
What is CMU's Campus Services Posture? What are we trying to accomplish?
On January 5, CMU moved to Modified Services Posture. The first two weeks of most courses for undergraduate and graduate students will be taught via synchronous remote instruction (January 18-30).
All CMU faculty, staff, and students are required to be vaccinated or have an approved exemption. In addition, all CMU community members must complete a baseline test during January and must recieve a COVID-19 booster (information to follow). Those with an approved exemption are required to complete the Daily Self-Assessment (DSA) and participate in weekly Tartan Testing.
Anyone who has tested positive for COVID within the last 90 days is EXEMPT from the baseline testing requirement for the start of the semester.
We expect guidance to continue to evolve as we continue to learn. You may email the SCS Resilience Team with comments, which are most welcome.
Are there changes in precautions?
Yes, for example fully vaccinated individuals no longer have to participate in Daily Self Assessment, or Tartan Testing although they are welcome to do so if they wish. (Tartan Testing remains available for those who desire it.) Distancing is no longer required.
As of November 8, facial coverings are required for everyone at all times indoors (except when in private spaces or eating or drinking) and outdoors within 6 feet of others.
Everyone should continue to practice good hygiene, including hand washing or hand sanitizer.
Every 24 hours, FMCS will conduct enhanced sanitation and disinfection in high-traffic and common areas, following CDC guidelines. In case of a suspected case of COVID, contact tracing and other measures will continue.
What about Human Subject Research?
Revised guidance for human subject research (HSR) has been posted. HSR researchers must advise study participants and those who accompany them of their obligations under the Minimum Requirements. HSR researchers should follow the guidance in the revised COVID-19 Screening Process and Questions. Note in particular that the revised HSR guidance clarifies that, in the absence of a university-wide requirement, studies MAY NOT ask about or require vaccination of participants unless those requirements are written into an approved IRB protocol. All human subject researchers should review these requirements carefully and may get in touch with Philip Lehman with any questions.
Staff supporting Human Subject Research (e.g. business office staff and faculty support staff) should be on campus at least as often as necessary to support experiments (as well as additional time for other roles, as needed).
What about other people's vaccination status?
No one's vaccination status should be solicited and/or recorded by anyone except a central university authority.
However, when eligible, all students, faculty and staff are required to receive a COVID-19 vaccination and booster shot. Further information on deadlines and how to upload information is available via the CMU COVID-19 Vaccine Database.
Are meetings on campus OK?
In-person, on-campus events strongly discouraged during January 2022.
Eating with others is strongly discouraged during January 2022.
Consistent with university guidance, you are encouraged to consume food and beverages outdoors (weather permitting), at an open CMU dining location, or on a takeaway basis to be consumed in a private workspace. Food should be in individually wrapped portions (not shared).
In cases where food is eaten indoors with others, there must be ample physical distancing among participants, such as a designated eating area (near the food vendors) or large, open space, away from offices. If you are eating with others in a conference room or similar space, maintain distance from others when unmasked to eat. If you are eating in the presence of others, remove your facial covering only to take a bite or sip, replace it promptly, and avoid conversations while you are eating. Anyone who is not vaccinated (e.g. has received an approved exemption) may not eat within 6 feet of others. All participants must comply with current signs and guidance.
Meetings and events: We discourage food at regular meetings and events (such as research, education, and faculty meetings). These should generally be scheduled outside of lunchtime, for example. For exceptions (e.g. socially-oriented gatherings where food is an element) and for special/one-time events (e.g. gatherings or celebrations, including end of year), SCS requires an exception request to ensure protocols and capacity limits are understood and followed. Please contact Philip Lehman with questions or requests for exceptions and guidance.
Finally, at CMU, food may never be consumed in classrooms (even during non-COVID times).
May we have visitors?
Visitors to the Pittsburgh campus for one-time visits and/or recurring meetings are discourged during the month of January 2022, but are permitted with appropriate precautions in place.
Visitors must be masked at all times and it is expected that visitors coming to the CMU campus are also vaccinated against COVID-19, unless unable to be vaccinated due to a disability or strong religious/moral conviction. Visitors may be asked to attest that they are either fully vaccinated or have received a negative COVID-19 test result in the last 72 hours. Visitors who are not fully vaccinated must complete the Daily Self Assessment.
See the Visitor Protocol page for more information.
Non-COVID-related visitor protocols and policies (including those for minors) also continue to apply.
Is Travel OK?
University-sponsored travel for all CMU community members is permitted subject to approval from your department/manager.
If you are fully vaccinated, you do not have to quarantine following travel. However, per the CDC's guidance on travel, we continue to encourage students, faculty, staff, vendors, and visitors to wear a facial covering and avoid large events or crowded spaces during travel.
Students, faculty and staff should also follow the university's travel recommendations, which include symptom monitoring and asymptomatic COVID-19 testing through Tartan Testing before and after travel. Travel to countries that carry a CDC Very High or High level of risk is highly discouraged.
What about Tartan Testing, face coverings, and Daily Self Assessment?
Facial coverings are required for everyone at all times indoors (except in private spaces or when eating and drinking) and outdoors within 6 feet of others. Wearing well-fitted, high-quality facial coverings is strongly recommended.
Fully vaccinated community members no longer need to complete the Daily Self-Assessment or participate in Tartan Testing before coming to campus. "Fully vaccinated" means that someone has completed an approved vaccine protocol and at least two weeks have passed since the final vaccine dose.
Note that Tartan Testing will also be available for fully vaccinated CMU community members who desire a weekly test. (Note that the check-in location has moved to the East Campus Garage.)
Other resources?
For facial coverings, please contact: fixit@andrew.cmu.edu.
For questions or further guidance, please contact your department business manager or Philip Lehman. CPSAs and PSOs–as well as liaisons–continue as a source of expertise.

One of the biggest recovery communities in the world, San Patrignano, opened its doors last week to ECAD international guests at the WeFree days, October 10-11.
Our group of 20 persons participated in the high level political Forum organized by the Community guests. This is also an opportunity for parents, schools and those affected by addiction to set the question on national and international agenda, involving foreign speakers and acting politicians, this time - Valeria Fedeli, Italian Minister of Education, University and Research, Gabriele Toccafondi, Secretary of State at the Ministry of Education, University Professors, School rectors, Italian movements of parents and international speakers, e.g. Julie Schauer, founder to Parents Opposed to Pot.
High-level political discussion was vital for ECAD group for accumulating international experience of dealing with addiction recovery, on local and national levels, as a parent and as a key figure in a local community. The topic of the Forum this year was Educating by leaving a positive sign, when teachers and parents together brought up the issue of addiction among the teenagers.
A dramatic change at shools was introduced at place with the involvement of the Minister of Education, by signing a Memorandum of Understanding on prevention education at schools, thereby the educational system strives to make students aware of the implications of the substance use. For the first time in Italy, the need of support to schools provided by the national government was put in print in this document, placing prevention issue in the first place, said Valeria Fedeli, Italian Minister of Education.
Italian society is under a process of altering its attitude to the link between schools and families, updating its stance on gender issues in the cultural context, where girls are more vulnerable, having lower self-esteem and a tendency to use new drugs (synthetic cathinones, Ketamine, etc.). Mrs Roberta Potente from the Department of Epidemiology at the Italian CNR, informed that 40% of 15-19 year olds have tried gambling, allowed from the age of 18 onwards. Annual studies among school students were introduced and in 6 shools a pilot project informing on pathological gambling is running.
Every year the Community of San Patrignano gathers around 15 000 people, who become a part of the WeFree project. Apart from the High level forum, ECAD group spent two days visiting workshops, prefessional and training facilities, theatrical shows and had a private session with questions and answers to the Community guests and recovery specialists. The focus of this dialogue was on overcoming drug addiction in various cultural contexts, sharing experiences and becoming role models for the young people.
ECAD is grateful to SanPatrignano for exceptional hospitality, trust and a lot of insights in the topic, we are looking forward to visit the Community next year!
Next week ECAD organizes annual study visit to San Patrignano Recovery Community to experience and learn from the WeFree days, October 10-11.
"WeFree Days" concept is a set of drug use prevention initiatives, focused on the "peer to peer" education. It also involves the members of the SanPatrignano community, who conceived and implemented the event and will represent the annual opening of the activity.
October 10th and 11th are the two days dedicated to the examination of issues in relation to drug addiction and common problems among the youth. The goal is to stimulate a constructive dialogue that proposes an alternative to dealing superficially with the contemporary drug issues.
A group of representatives for Swedish, Bulgarian and Maltese cities, as well as other international NGOs will join the ECAD group this year.
November 15-16 is the final Triple R project conference in Zagreb, Croatia.
The second phase of the project Triple took place in Croatia, implementing a research study on current needs of treatment services, therapeutic communities, social reinsertion programs, alternative sentencing interventions and piloting the Triple R guidelines with the involvement of Croatian partners.
You will find the Triple R project publications in our website top meny.
The Conference programme features international and Croatian high level speakers presenting the projects findings and exploring further the future cooperation in the field of drug treatment and recovery-oriented practices.
Please let us know if you intend to participate, and warm welcome!
This week ECAD network and around 20 Swedish NGOs hold a national Fair "Sweden Against Drugs" - Sverige mot Narkotika, on September 20-21. The Fair has become an annual event recently due to political and public interest in drug prevention and treatment.
Her Majesty Queen Silvia will launch the conference Sverige mot Narkotika on Wednesday, September 20, hosted by the City of Eskilstuna this time.
Major political figures, heads for Swedish customs and police, Icelandic Ambassador in Sweden, County Governor of Sörmland and international guests will be among the 300 participants.
The conference programme has a variety of subjects - international trends in drug policy, American opioid epidemics and cannabis industry, recovery movement, drugs and crime prevention, effective institutional cooperation for quick and efficient treatment of substance addiction.
Prominent American Professor Bertha K. Madras, Harvard Medical School, will be lecturing on the American opioid epidemics and will meet a number of the key political figures in the Swedish Parliament in Stockholm today, the day before the Conference kicks off.
Last year`s group visit to SanPatrignano.
On October 10-11, ECAD organizes a study visit to SanPatrignano Recovery Community in Italy, close to Rimini.
As a custom established, this study visit coincides with the WeFree days 2017 and the political Forum focusing on recovery from drug addicition and the difficulty of asking for help, also on addressing the needs of the young and adolescent trials between diversity and standartisation.
Political focus on the topic of drug abuse drives a lot of public attention to the problem of drugs and adolescent experimentation. This involves Italian political bodies and international organizations, media, artists, parents and schools in order to raise awareness on drug abuse and the harms to the environment caused by drugs´ production as well as the harms to society, one´s own health and many other aspects. Many solutions to the prblem of drug abuse are suggested by the young people themselves.
Join ECAD team to see how recovery oriented treatment works in practice. ECAD will also organize a particular topic-oriented seminar in SanPatrignano, it will be announced later in the summer.
Walter Kegö, Senior Fellow Institute for Security and Development Policy, ISDP, Sweden.
ECAD expresses warmest gratitude to the City of Kaunas, Kaunas Mayor Hon. Visvaldas Matijošaitis, Deputy Mayor Rasa Šnapštienė and Mayor's advisor Irena Segalovičienė, Kaunas City Adeministration, and especially to Chief Specialist Lina Lauciute.

Hydrodynamic assist and the dynamic contact angle in the coalescence of liquid drops
Stephen Decent
The coalescence of two viscous liquid drops in an inviscid gas or in a vacuum is studied using the interface formation model. In the very early stages of coalescence during the formation of the 'liquid-bridge' connecting the two drops, this model predicts a moving contact line and a dynamic contact angle. This paper examines the dynamic evolution of this contact angle, and for small Reynolds number and small Capillary number, relevant particularly in micro-fluidics, a non-linear differential equation is derived for the contact angle and solved computationally. It is found that the contact angle evolution can only be evaluated by determining information about the flow away from the contact line. This is a manifestation of so-called hydrodynamic assist, studied experimentally in the context of curtain coating by Blake et al. (1999 Experimental evidence of non-local hydrodynamic influence on the dynamic contact angle. Phys. Fluids, 11, 1995-2007). For small Capillary number and small Reynolds number, the free-surface evolution is determined for the coalescence of two cylinders of equal radius. Finally, some comments are made on experiments in coalescence, as well as on issues arising in a computational solution of the full model described here.

Odisha Congress demands CBI probe into Gurupriya bridge construction
Edited By Published By Devbrat Patnaik On Aug 2, 2018 - 8:40 AM
Bhubaneswar: Odisha Congress Wednesday demanded a CBI probe into alleged corruption in the construction of Gurupriya bridge in Malkangiri district, claiming that around Rs 74 crore were paid fraudulently in excess to the contractor.
Odisha Pradesh Congress Committee President Niranjan Patnaik said that the excess payment had been pointed out by the Principal Accountant General. He said a probe by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) will unearth the facts.
Patnaik said that the state government had misused public money to benefit the contractor.
Massive corruption & loot of public money exposed by PAG in the construction of #GurupriyaSetu. Around Rs 74 crores have been paid in excess to benefit Shri Naveen Patnaik's contractor friend. This is another feather on BJD's hat in its long list of corruption scandals. (1/8)

"The Works Department got technical approval of Rs 104.38 crore for the bridge. Later, the estimate was hiked to Rs 115.80 crore. Its maintenance for five years was included in the estimate, but the estimate was again revised to Rs 174.58 crore by September 2017," said the Congress leader.
Constructed at an estimated cost of Rs 187.25 crore, the 910-metre-long bridge connects nearly 152 villages in eight gram panchayats in areas in and around Kalimela and Chitrakonda reservoirs.
This blatant loot of public money must be probed. We demand a CBI inquiry in this matter so that the looters of public money can be held accountable. (8/8)

Hermit: The Mysterious Life of Jim Whyte
Home » Hermit: The Mysterious Life of Jim Whyte
Paperback, 6″ x 9″"
by Jeffrey H. Ryan
When Jim Whyte settled outside the slate mining town of Monson, Maine in 1895, people hardly knew what to make of him. Almost 130 tears later, we still don't. A world traveler that spoke six languages fluently, Whyte came to town with sacks full of money and a fierce desire to keep to himself. It was clear that Whyte was hiding from something—enough to make even the FBI eventually come looking. But even the Feds couldn't imagine how Whyte, who lost every penny he had when WWI broke out, amassed another fortune before he died. Based on the true story, Hermit follows one man's quest to discover all he can about Whyte's secret life before it's too late.
Jeffrey H. Ryan is an author, adventurer, photographer, and historian. He has written several books about his outdoor exploits, his fascination with hiking trails, and the people and places found just off the beaten path. His debut book, Appalachian Odyssey: A 28-Year Hike on America's Trail was hailed by the former executive editor of National Geographic as "a classic of nature and travel writing" and set off a national tour (in a 1985 VW camper, no less). When Jeff isn't trekking, chasing down a great story, or spinning yarns from his keyboard, he enjoys sharing his adventures with audiences who love the outdoors. He spends much of his time in his beloved native state of Maine.

Nov. 24 Science Café —...
Nov. 24 Science Café — 'Mysteries of Polymer Chemistry'
By Yavonda Chase
Nov. 13, 2015 | LITTLE ROCK – Science Café Little Rock, co-sponsored by the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS), will hold its next public forum, Mysteries of Polymer Chemistry, on Nov. 24. Panelists will discuss the role of polymers and their impact upon industry and modern culture.
Held from 7-9 p.m. at Afterthought Bistro & Bar in Little Rock's Hillcrest neighborhood, Science Café is a relaxed opportunity for monthly exchanges with various experts. No reservations are needed, but seating is limited. Admission is free.
This month's panel will include Jerry Darsey, Ph.D., a professor in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock; and Patrick Desrochers, Ph.D., a professor and chairman of the Department of Chemistry at the University of Central Arkansas in Conway. Panel moderator Dorothy Graves, Ph.D., is a research assistant professor and director of research and publications in the UAMS College of Medicine's Division of Hematology and Oncology.
Graves also will host the corresponding live call-in program, "Science Cafe Little Rock," on National Public Radio-affiliate radio station KUAR FM89. The science talk show, featuring one speaker from the monthly panel of scientists and experts, is aired just prior (6:05-6:30 p.m.) to the live Science Café event. Darsey is this month's radio guest.
Science Café received a $200 grant from the American Chemical Society's Division of Polymer Chemistry to put on this month's forum.

Q: Base64 and non standard I try to create a python client for bacula, but I have some problem with the authentication.
The algorithm is :

import hmac
import base64
import re

...

challenge = re.search("auth cram-md5 ()", data)
#exemple ''
passwd = 'b489c90f3ee5b3ca86365e1bae27186e'
hm = hmac.new(passwd, challenge).digest()
rep = base64.b64encode(hm).strp().rstrip('=')
#result with python : 9zKE3VzYQ1oIDTpBuMMowQ
#result with bacula client : 9z+E3V/YQ1oIDTpBu8MowB'
There's a way more simple than port the bacula's implemenation of base 64?
int
bin_to_base64(char *buf, int buflen, char *bin, int binlen, int compatible)
{
   uint32_t reg, save, mask;
   int rem, i;
   int j = 0;

   reg = 0;
   rem = 0;
   buflen--;                       /* allow for storing EOS */
   for (i=0; i >= (rem - 6);
      if (j

A: To verify your CRAM-MD5 implementation, it is best to use some simple test vectors and check combinations of (challenge, password, username) inputs against the expected output.
Here's one example (from http://blog.susam.in/2009/02/auth-cram-md5.html):
import hmac
username = 'foo@susam.in'
passwd = 'drowssap'
encoded_challenge = 'PDc0NTYuMTIzMzU5ODUzM0BzZGNsaW51eDIucmRzaW5kaWEuY29tPg=='
challenge = encoded_challenge.decode('base64')
digest = hmac.new(passwd, challenge).hexdigest()
response = username + ' ' + digest
encoded_response = response.encode('base64')
print encoded_response
# Zm9vQHN1c2FtLmluIDY2N2U5ZmE0NDcwZGZmM2RhOWQ2MjFmZTQwNjc2NzIy

That said, I've certainly found examples on the net where the response generated by the above code differs from the expected response stated on the relevant site, so I'm still not entirely clear as to what is happening in those cases.

A: I HAVE CRACKED THIS.
I ran into exactly the same problem you did, and have just spent about 4 hours identifying the problem, and reimplementing it.
The problem is the Bacula's base64 is BROKEN, AND WRONG!
There are two problems with it:
The first is that the incoming bytes are treated as signed, not unsigned. The effect of this is that, if a byte has the highest bit set (>127), then it is treated as a negative number; when it is combined with the "left over" bits from previous bytes are all set to (binary 1).
The second is that, after b64 has processed all the full 6-bit output blocks, there may be 0, 2 or 4 bits left over (depending on input block modulus 3). The standard Base64 way to handle this is to multiply the remaining bits, so they are the HIGHEST bits in the last 6-bit block, and process them - Bacula leaves them as the LOWEST bits.
Note that some versions of Bacula may accept both the "Bacula broken base64 encoding" and the standard ones, for incoming authentication; they seem to use the broken one for their authentication.
def bacula_broken_base64(binarystring):
    b64_chars="ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789+/"
    remaining_bit_count=0
    remaining_bits=0
    output=""
    for inputbyte in binarystring:
        inputbyte=ord(inputbyte)
        if inputbyte>127:
            # REPRODUCING A BUG! set all the "remaining bits" to 1.
            remaining_bits=(1 << remaining_bit_count) - 1
        remaining_bits=(remaining_bits<<8)+inputbyte
        remaining_bit_count+=8
        while remaining_bit_count>=6:
            # clean up:
            remaining_bit_count-=6
            new64=(remaining_bits>>remaining_bit_count) & 63 # 6 highest bits
            output+=b64_chars[new64]
            remaining_bits&=(1 << remaining_bit_count) - 1
    if remaining_bit_count>0:
        output+=b64_chars[remaining_bits]

    return output

I realize it's been 6 years since you asked, but perhaps someone else will find this useful.

Exclusive: O.J. Simpson's Story Took Sterling K. Brown From Just Paying The Bills To TV's It Guy
'This is Us' premieres Tuesday, September 20th.
Sterling K. Brown put his stamp on a great career after bodying the roll of Christopher Darden in American Crime Story: The People v. OJ Simpson. Now, he's returning to TV as Randall in the NBC drama This Is Us.
In the clip above, you get to meet Randall as he embarks on a journey to meet his real father. Throughout the season, we follow the complex family dynamic that exists between Randall and all the other characters on the ensemble show.
I met Sterling in the lobby bar at the famed Beverly Hilton to chat about his new role, family, and the peculiar way his career has played out.
How does it feel to be in this position in your career?
It's surreal. Success to this point in time has just been paying bills and providing for my family, being a working actor, and not having to wait tables or bartend or anything like that. That's success. Now all of a sudden the profiles of these last two projects have elevated in such a way that, you don't anticipate something like that transpiring. You just feel like the status quo will continue and you're happy to pay bills and pay taxes and all this. Now all of a sudden things are happening on a large level. Access to larger opportunities has happened that haven't happened before. And I think more than anything I just feel real, real blessed. Because I know how fleeting it can be, I know how long it's taken to get to where I am right now, so I am just trying to enjoy each and every part of it.
The This is Us trailer has 91 million views.
The trailer, nobody can anticipate anything like that. That's lightning in a bottle. Kudos to people who cut it together, because you get a real strong sense of the fact that you're going to be moved through the course of the show and clearly people were yearning for something to move them.
My character in the show is Randall, he just turned 36 years old and he's looking to reconnect with his biological father. He was adopted as a baby and all of a sudden there is something in him, even though he has a gorgeous wife and two beautiful girls and a beautiful home and a great job, there is still something missing in his life and that need to connect with who his biological parents were is at the forefront of that.
So he is just yearning for something – even though everything else seems like it's perfect.
The emotional ride you get to portray in this show is great. Specifically that clip of your character telling off his dad, then asking him, 'Hey, do you want to see your grandkids?' When you get a piece like that where you get to hate and love at the same time, as an actor, how do you feel?
Bruh! It's crazy. I remember reading the pilot, and this was one of the best pilots I ever had the chance to read – at least from a network television. I've been out of a school, and when I read that section I was like, 'OK. I want to be in this.' It's not just like, 'I want to have a good audition,' it's like, 'I want to be in.' (Producer) Dan Fogelman has a way of doing that with every character in the show that makes it feel like you get to eat.
I've been on many shows and paid bills for a long time, but you don't always get to eat. You may have like a little (salad), but I'm talking about potatoes and hearty meat that gives me iron and protein. That's what this show does. As we read the next scripts come along, it keeps me going. It's not a flash in the pan. People are going to be really happy to see how these characters unfold.
When the execs are into the show – the way they seem to be behind this show – what goes through your mind at that point?
Network television has a very small window for success. If you don't attract from jump street, you've seen many shows that has the pilot and maybe an episode or two… then it's like, 'Oh, what happened to that show? Oh, it's gone.' So when you hear that type of support… They (NBC) are going to put us on Tuesday night after The Voice. We are one of only three shows that they picked up for the fall season. It's nice to know; I feel like we can all relax a little bit in terms of, I think we're going to be here for at least a second.
This is Us premieres Tuesday, September 20 at 10 p.m. EST on NBC.

Bangladesh have launched their AFC U-16 Championship qualifiers in some style by handing Bahrain a humiliating 10-0 defeat.
Anuching Mogini, Maria Manda and Shamsunnahar (junior) earned a brace each at Bir Shreshtha Shaheed Sipahi Mostafa Kamal Stadium in Dhaka's Kamalapur on Monday.
Sajeda Khatun, Shamsunnahar (senior), Anai Mogini and Tahura Khatun all found the net once.
It was the second consecutive loss for Bahrain in the tournament, having been defeated 8-0 by Lebanon in first match.
Bangladesh will take on Lebanon, who also beat the United Arab Emirates 6-3 earlier in the day, on Wednesday.
Bangladesh had a great chance to go ahead against Bahrain in the ninth minute but Anuching's shot from Anai's pass flew over the crossbar.
However, Anai scored three minutes later when the defender's cross fooled goalkeeper Jahra Nazar Ali and found the net.
Skipper Maria extended the lead four minutes later. The midfielder's shot from outside the box nestled into the net over the head of the goalkeeper.
Anuching did not squander the chance again when she got the ball after a Bahrain defender returned Shamsunnahar's shot in the 19th minute.
She got her brace in similar fashion after the goalie returned Rituparna Chakma's shot in the 35th minute to take the scoreline to 4-0.
Bangladesh extended the lead in the stoppage time of the first half when Shamsunnahar's (junior) from Anai's cross found the net.
The hosts, however, missed two more great chances in the added time. Maria's shot hit the crossbar after the keeper fisted the ball while Anuching's attempt went over the bar.
Bahrain goalkeeper Nazar Ali parried another shot of Rituparna in the beginning of the second half while Maria's shot went over the bar a few minutes later.
Sajeda Khatun who came in for Anuching started heaped more misery on the Bahrainis in the second half with a perfect shot from Ankhi Khatun's pass in the 55th minute.
Shamsunnahar (junior) made the scoreline 7-0 two minutes later. Keeper Jahra blocked Shamsunnahar's first shot but was beaten by the second one.
Bahrain's Dana Basem got her second yellow card when she fouled Shamsunnahar (junior) during an attack on the right.
The goalie watched as Shamsunnahar (senior) scored from the 12 yards.
Maria and Tohura then took the scoreline to 10-0 in the 71st and 80th minute respectively.

A pawnbroker must be a shrewd business negotiator.
1 What Are the Duties of a Stockbroker?
A pawnbroker is a business professional who specializes in buying merchandise of value, making loans to individuals using tangible property as collateral, and in some cases, running a storefront operation to resell collateral pieces not recovered by owners. A pawnbroker must be well-versed in appraising a wide range of merchandise and in negotiating appropriate sale and loan prices.
A pawnbroker must be prepared to deal with a wide variety of personality types. People pawn items for a variety of reasons, some needing fast cash and others looking for a way to sell unwanted goods. A pawnbroker must be able to efficiently communicate with customers, explain product values and set terms for loans, interest and collateral. The pawnbroker business can sometimes be contentious, especially if the customer is in dire financial circumstances and is trying to get the most money he can for his product. A pawn broker must be fair, calm and able to rationally deal with customers.
A pawnbroker is charged with continually evaluating his local marketplace and the state of the local economy. It is detrimental to a pawnshop business to have an overstock of inventory in one particular area, such as electronics or jewelry. A pawnbroker must use shrewd business sense in determining the type of merchandise that will sell in his retail shop or online store. This will guide the merchandise he takes in for pawn or sale.
The pawn industry is regulated by both state and federal laws. This is especially important as it pertains to regulating the sale, purchase or pawn of firearms and merchandise that could potentially be stolen. A pawnbroker must be educated about buying and holding practices and work in conjunction with law enforcement authorities as necessary to track down and identify stolen goods. You can learn about your state's specific regulations by visiting your secretary of state's website or contacting your state's department of business and industry for guidance.
A pawn shop owner is required to have a valid business license, and might also be required to have a "privilege license" issued by the county or city where his shop is located. The privilege license can be challenging to obtain, and typically the process includes in-depth background search into past business dealings and employment, as well as a criminal background check. You can learn more about specific licensing and permitting guidelines by visiting the U.S. Small Business Administration website, sba.gov.

Q: MultiDex: Main Dex Capacity Exceeded with MultiDex Enabled I'm using a package I've included into my project that requires MultiDex, I've got 156561 references so I'll need multiple .dex files.
However it fails, citing that the main dex file is too large
Some suggested using keepRuntimeAnnotatedClasses false, but I'm using Xamarin and its not clear on how to accomplish this without Gradle.
Others suggest setting the minimum API > 21, which is already true for my project.
I've also manually upgraded Proguard, as MultiDex uses it and got the newest 1.8 JDK
UNEXPECTED TOP-LEVEL EXCEPTION:
com.android.dex.DexException: Too many classes in --main-dex-list, main dex capacity exceeded
at com.android.dx.command.dexer.Main.processAllFiles(Main.java:548)

at com.android.dx.command.dexer.Main.main(Main.java:247)
at com.android.dx.command.Main.main(Main.java:94)

I would think that MultiDex would be the solution to 'Too many classes'. However it seems like whatever logic is deciding to fill the main dex file is over filling it

A: Assuming you are using one of the latest versions of Xamarin.Android, you can try using the "new" Google D8 dex tool vs. using Proguard.

Markin took his profits from 1929 and continued to expand, purchasing Yellow Cab of Chicago and the Parmalee Transportation Company, which ensured that there would be future buyers of Checker Cabs in two major markets, Chicago and New York. Markin's purchase of the Yellow Cab Chicago taxi fleet operation was a major setback for GM, as all future cabs purchased by Chicago Yellow Cab would now be Checkers not the GM produced Yellows.
Profits for 1929 were also invested in a new Checker taxicab, the Model M introduced in 1931. A continuation of the town car theme, the Model M was quite a striking vehicle. Visually the car possessed some interesting styling cues, mainly vertical rectangular headlamps and "sugar scoop" fenders to protect tyres in minor accidents. Additionally, the Model M had rear passenger only running boards continuing the town car theme. Style wise, the Model M looked at home parked next to Cadillac and Lincoln town cars.
The Model M utilized a smaller, 122-inch wheelbase, was powered by the Buda J-216 and was equipped with the first electric taximeter, jointly developed by Checker and Pittsburgh Taximeter Company. Both the Model M and Model K were available in 1931.

7 countries where graduate school is a fraction of US costs
Sarah Menkedick
SOMETIMES I WONDER if my undergraduate degree, which gave me a solid foundation in the History of Science and has led to a lucrative career in international vagabonding, is worth the $10,000 of student loans I am evading by living in Oaxaca, Mexico.
I ponder this, sometimes wallowing in bitterness, as I pore over the websites of American universities in search of graduate programs that won't leave me forever indebted and doomed to the life of a backpacker on the run.
There are very few such programs—American education is undoubtedly very good, but it is also very expensive.
So, for those of us who love the experience of delving into and becoming part of different places, doesn't it make sense to look abroad? The world offers some excellent opportunities for graduate school that might actually leave you spare change to, say, eat, and travel.
Thus, what follows: a brief overview of seven countries where you can get a graduate degree at a fraction of the price you'd pay in the U.S.
At around $2,000 a year, graduate programs in Spain are an incredible deal. The University of Barcelona ranks as one of the three best universities in Ibero-America (the other two being the UNAM of Mexico City and the University of Sao Paolo), and the University of Madrid is not far behind.
Masters degrees are diverse, going way beyond the simple categories of anthropology or sociology—how about an analysis of the history and culture of food? Or the management of cultural heritage? Why not get a degree in women, gender, and citizenship studies? And of course, there are plenty of offerings in the sciences, from an interdisciplinary analysis of water to the study of artificial intelligence and mathematics.
I apologize for giving way to cliché, but France, whether you love it or hate it, has an age-old association with intellectual life. Intellectuals have long been the Marilyn Monroes and Tom Cruises of France, and the quality and seriousness of French higher education reflect this cultural preference.
The Ecole Normale Superior de Paris ranks at number 28 in the list of the world's top universities, and tuition for international graduate students is a whopping 190 Euros a year.
Graduate school is free. The website for Uppsala university announces this nonchalantly, as if the whole world lived in the calm socialist paradise that is Sweden.
Now, keep in mind that you'll probably be paying about five Euros for a beer and who knows how much for any sort of classy lifestyle, but with free tuition, you can take down two Euro espressos right and left while you hit the books.
Plus, Uppsala offers a whole catalogue of Master's programs in English, unlike other Swedish universities that require a good working knowledge of Swedish.
Yet another case in which very solid, well-ranked universities come in at around 100-500 Euros a year for tuition. You'll have to contend with somewhat exorbitant living costs, particularly in the country's financial centers, but by living like a good ol' suffering grad student (think of a steady diet of comforting, hearty pasta) you should come out with a pretty good deal in the end.
German language skills are required for some schools; others, such as the University of Berlin, offer a selection of degrees in English.
Asian students flock to Singapore by the thousands to take advantage of the (relatively) cheap and high-quality education. Singapore National University is ranked at number 30 in the world, and tuition stands at around $4,000 a year for international graduate students.
Potential students with interests in Asian studies can explore a range of Masters degrees, from broader studies of Asian civilization to critical analyzes of Southeast Asia or the Malay Peninsula.
For those deeply embedded in love affairs with Asia and wanting to further them in an academic setting, Singapore offers a melting pot of Asian cultures, a high-quality graduate education, and ah, yes, the affordability that allows you to take a much-needed chill weekend from time to time on a Thai beach.
With tuition around $1,000 USD a year, the Universidad Autonoma de Mexico offers a tempting alternative to rival schools just North of the border.
And with UNAM ranking as one of Latin America's most prestigious universities (along with Argentina's University of Buenos Aires) you are really, let's say, getting what you do not have to pay for: a top-quality graduate degree.
For those interested in Latin American studies and history, the program recently initiated here is one of the best in the world. And if Mexico City seems to you like an experience in pure chaos, try Puebla, Monterrey, or one of the CIESAS research institutes located throughout the country, all of which offer quality graduate degrees at prices comparable to that of UNAM.
The country in and of itself is an education, and provides a seething, transforming, highly charged backdrop to academic study.
Universities have taken advantage of the country's post-apartheid opening up to promote academic and personal freedom, as well as the study of many disciplines banned or marginalized in the past. Cape Town and Johannesburg contain the most well-recognized universities, each of which charges around $4,000 a year in tuition for international graduate students.
Add to this the fact that the cost of living in South Africa affords grad students a much greater degree of luxury than they would experience in Europe or the U.S., and voila, you have the tantalizing prospect of plowing away at a doctorate without having to survive on heaping bowls of spaghetti.
Keep in mind this list is only the beginning. Start doing research online: the aptly named International Graduate Schools website has plenty of listings of specific schools and programs, but in my opinion the Top Grad School site is even better, with rankings, statistics, and programs listed for most major schools in dozens of countries.
Good luck, and may you save as much as you learn!

26/04/2007 – Interview with HEREGE
HEREGE (official website) is a Brazilian Heavy Metal band, whose goal is to bring back the spirit of before, to fight for the great music that Metal is and to put Brasil even more on the map of Heavy Metal. Since a couple of years the band has been building on its career, difficult as it is, and have added a few demos and one EP to their discography. This EP, "Bang Your Heads", came out one year ago and since the band is still promoting it, I had the chance to review it. Check it out at this location.
HEREGE had some line-up problems too, but that didn't stop them to go on. And in March they recorded their first full album that is to be released sometime this year. Guitarist Dalton and drummer Maurício were kind enough to answer the questions I sent them.
In short, but not superficial, could you explain how HEREGE was formed, what the objectives were at that time and if they've changed since then?
Maurício: HEREGE was formed in mid-2001. As I and Rodrigo were classmates, we decide to join forces to play some covers. at that time, Selvino was the guitarist and I had invited Dennis to sing. Our objective at that time was to play just for fun and to get drunk, and nothing else. With the passing of time, all this was changing with the gigs, with the good public's acceptance. So, we decide to invest in our own compositions and consider the band as a professional and seriousl business and we are here today, expanding our horizons day after day and showing our songs the furthest that we possibly can.
Are you all self-taught musicians or did you take lessons?
Dalton: I took some lessons a couple of years ago, our bassist had too when he and I were still in the high-school. Denis and Maurício are the only ones that learned by themselves, without the help of a teacher, But, in particularly, I like to study alone nowadays, I think that can be better sometimes, create your own method to learn more. Anyway, that's cool!
As far as I know, HEREGE means 'heretic'. Who came up with it and what inspired you to choose this name?
Maurício: That's true, in English you say 'heretic'. The name HEREGE was suggested by Rodrigo and we accepted it, because the term is very broad and it has a connection firstly with some persons which think and act by their own ways, against the norms, standard of living and behaviors of their time. At the time when the name was suggested, he had in his own head the heretics of the Feudal Times and Old Regimen. However, later we saw that the term can go beyond subversives of that time, and it can be re-interpreted in each generation.
HEREGE only exists since a couple of year and you already had to look for other members. What happened? Less dedication from those who left? Stuff that couldn't be solved through talking?
Dalton: A question of personal and musical interests, some ex-members didn't have the desire to keep the band like a professional business and make Heavy Metal part of their lives. There was never a fight when someone left the band, only the ones that couldn't give more dedication just jumped off the boat (laughs).
So far you've recorded two demos and one EP. What evolution - musically - is there?
Maurício: I'm sure there is a great evolution. We had a group evolution first, because we had a lot of musician exchanges in the line-up. The big improvement is with the guitars. Before Dalton had joined us, Rodrigo created the riffs. So, that was seen very harsh, without arrangements like the two first cd-demos. And now with Dalton, it gave more gain in our songs, more melodies and pretty cool arrangements, since the "Bang Your Heads" recording. And with the full length already recorded and being produced, everything's sounding awesome!
I've noticed that the two bonus tracks on "Bang Your Heads" sound different than the new songs. Did you record those in another studio? Or did you use a different way of working?
Dalton: Right, these bonus tracks were actually recorded in another studio. But since we them so much , we decided to add them to the EP, and also to give more minutes of heavy metal than our past demos. But, what's cool now is that these bonus tracks were remastered and you can hear the new versions on our official website and MySpace page.
You're currently recording new material for the forthcoming album, right? How are things going and what are the new songs like compared to "Bang Your Heads"? Plus, do you have a release date set?
Maurício: Yes, the recordings are already finished, since we did it in March of this year, in Nitro Sound Solutions Studio in Caxias do Sul. The recording process was very good, everything happened within the time limits and the songs are really fucking great. Compared to the previously demo the songs now are better arranged, we had many hours to record and work on them. Really, we expect that it'll be killer. The release date is still undefined, maybe in August or September of this year, when we will finish the production. After that we'll try some contacts with the records companies.
Lyrically the songs will be about marking historical facts of the 20th and 21st Century, following a chronological order, from the end of Second World War, passing through Cold War, Latin America dictatorships, until the present, with themes about globalization and terrorism. How did you get to work to find sufficient material to fill an album?
Dalton: At first, we thought about making something that should explain a little of our tormented history, and mentioning some marking facts. Rodrigo is studying History at the University and with this he already got a great knowledge about all these subjects that we wanted to tackle on the album, so we gathered the facts in their order of happening and he wrote all the lyrics, I believe that they got acids like this one: "Army Cowards, Shameful, Disgusting!", in the "Congress Cellars" track.
What's it like for a young band In Brazil? Do you easily get gigs? Do people appreciate your work?
Maurício: It's hard, for any young Brazilian band. The scene is weak, backing support doesn't exist, and almost everything is done in an independent way, buddy! We need to run miles and miles if we really want that everything turns out well. Gigs are hard too, many times the band has to play far away, spending money for the travelling costs, food, and arrives in a really ruined place. Where we live there are no appropriate places for gigs, so everything is improvised. And unfortunately there's a nasty competition between some bands. But there are some cool places in minority, and young bands fighting with honor. You must run and never stop if you have a metal band in Brazil. If you don't do this, you'll be fucked!
Everyone has a MySpace page nowadays. How important is this tool for you? Do you think you would gain the same amount of interest without it?
Dalton: MySpace has been awesome to us! Before having a page, we didn't have a way to show our work. People from many countries, who have never heard of us, can now hear our songs and get in contact with the band. This has been extremely important, more than our own official homepage (I think). Without it, the online promotion wouldn't be as good.
Has any label already showed interest in signing you for one or more albums?
Maurício: We're keeping contact with record companies and labels, here and in other countries, anyone who's waiting for our album to be ready to have a listen. But there's nothing hopeful yet. Our manager, Emanuel Seagal, is working on it.
When writing new songs, do you all come together and exchange ideas or does it start with, say, Dalton who comes up with some riffs after which the rest adds their input?
Dalton: Before I joined the band, Rodrigo told me that he wrote all the riffs, after which they were added with the drums and the vocals. But now, things have changed. Now we create the riffs, in our own homes, by ourselves, away from the band. Afterwards, when we're all together, we gather the ideas and improve them. Sometimes he comes with an idea and I add some necessary melody to make it better, licks, bridges and anything else are done this way. The only exception are the guitar solos, which I prefer to do at the studio or in my home. I did almost all the solos of the album like this.
Lyrics or music, which is first? And speaking of the lyrics, where do you take your inspiration from?
Maurício: We don't follow a form to write songs, but for this album things were different. The songs came first, the lyrics second, following the tunes of each song.
Dalton: The inspiration to do all this came from our dissatisfaction with things that happened and which will happen again if we don't express our hate against these shits, such as war, greed by money, tortures, terrorism, junkies in your own fucking religions! With your disgusting bias against the people who they try to live free.
Reviews can be nice to read, but do you take certain criticism to heart? Do you follow certain advices to improve/change your songwriting?
Dalton: We are receiving criticism from all sides. In some reviews there is bad and unnecessary criticism, but surely there are cool reviews, very constructive to the band and done by guys who really understand the music. Reviews vary a lot! We like to read and to analyze the ones that are coherent and that they say serious things without wanting to hurt the band with bad words.
On your website and in your songs, you seem to be very enthusiastic about Metal (in general). Does Metal mean more for you than just the music?
Maurício: You're absolutely right! Heavy Metal isn't just a musical style, it's a way of life, and we live this intensively, and we try to carry on the true Rock 'n' Roll essence, the attitude, the look, too. We aren't stage actors, we live this 24 hours a day!
Related to the previous question: how did you guys get in touch with Metal? Which were the first bands that convinced you to buy albums, to start a band, ...?
Dalton: We began to listen rock and metal more or less 10 years ago, when we were in high school and becoming adolescents (laughs). We got to know a lot of bands every single day (and this still happens) and guys who were rock fans. The first bands that I heard and turned me into a Heavy Metal fan were JUDAS PRIEST, BLACK SABBATH, OZZY...the other guys of the band didn't go ver far for this, but they also had their preferred bands. But the bands that had more importance to HEREGE's creation were: MOTÖRHEAD, JUDAS PRIEST and BLACK SABBATH.
It seems lots of foreign releases are hard to get in Brazil and people have to pay lots of money or (illegally) download them or import what they want (and again paying lots for it). Can you confirm this and do you find every album you want (in the shops, of course ;-))?
Dalton: Here we may find some foreign releases in the big Brazilian towns, such as Sao Paulo, Porto Alegre and Rio de Janeiro, because there are many shops and it's possible to find a lot of things. A lot of imported DVDs aren't available, but you can buy them using the internet :-).
What do the big bands of Brazil (SEPULTURA, KRISIUN, ANGRA, etc... think of HEREGE? Or is HEREGE still unknown to them?
Dalton: I believe that we don't yet arrive in the ears of these guys (laughs), because we are just releasing our first album and also we don't live in the great Brazilian cities.
Next to music, what else keeps you busy? (jobs, studies, hobbies, ...)
Dalton: Well, we have temporary jobs that don't have any connection with music stuff. I said 'temporary', because there's no way we'll do it for the rest of our lives! (laughs) Only until the band supports us. Studies? Well, one of us is studying at the university (Rodrigo, like I said before). About the hobbies: we like to drink, to party, have fun with friends, I think that's it.
Metal plays a big role in your lives, I guess, but do you also listen to other music?
Dalton: Of Course yes! Rock n'roll of the 60's, 70's and 80's are really listened here! Bands like: DEEP PURPLE, LED ZEPPELIN, GRAND FUNK RAILROAD, EMERSON LAKE & PALMER, RUSH, QUEEN, and others. Hard Rock is great too: WHITESNAKE, MOTLEY CRUE, AC/DC, etc. We don't limit us just to the metal, it is very cool enjoy another things and also to get more influences.
And that's it for me. If there's anything I forgot, feel free to add it. ;-) In the meantime, I'd like to wish you the best with your career and upcoming album(s).
Dalton: All right! We really want to thank you for this interview, it was very cool! This was very important for us, the band is very grateful for this space in you webzine. So, we want to invite all the bangers to access our homepage and our myspace to know more about the band and about the upcoming album! Any contact will be received with much respect!

The following article explores the role of medical cannabis within the context of Illinois Tax Law as an example. Special thanks to Taylor Schuck, Senior Accountant, Mueller CPA for his expertise and collaboration!
As cannabis continues to make a growing impact on the world at large, it's implications on how one approaches their taxes is not something often discussed. While talking taxes may not be the most exciting topic of conversation after medicating, there are some things you should know.
Can I Get Tax Deductions Off My Medical Cannabis Expenses?
When completing your IL-1040 for 2018, you might notice Line 22 in Step 7, titled the Compassionate Use of Medical Cannabis Pilot Program Act Surcharge. This tax is only imposed on owners of medical cannabis businesses which receive capital gains, but it might have you wondering: can I deduct any personal income that was spent on medical marijuana throughout the year? As part of the Opioid Alternative Pilot Program, Illinois has started to grant medical marijuana cards to qualifying patients and caregivers. Unfortunately, however, currently you cannot deduct these expenses on your tax return. Here are some reasons why.
At the present date, it is currently impossible to deduct medical expenses on the Illinois 1040! Therefore, we are still a far shot away from being able to deduct something like medical cannabis expenses.
For now, medical marijuana continues to be an out-of-pocket expense. As legislation shifts and the landscape evolves, one can only hope that someday medical cannabis patients in IL will finally get a break!

                                                 name:MPMoviePlayerWillExitFullscreenNotification
                                               object:nil];
    [mMoviePlayer setShouldAutoplay:YES];
    [self.view addSubview:mMoviePlayer.view];
    [mMoviePlayer setFullscreen:YES];

(Of course, I used the url one after the other)
When that did not work, the player starts but nothing happens.
If there is someone who has a solution, help me!
Edit :
I just sent a .m3u8 file on my NAS server. And I can read it. So as .mp4 .mov can not be read?
