Success! NASA tests Orion launch abort system
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (FOX 35 ORLANDO) - Hundreds of people watched as NASA successfully proved the Orion capsule's launch abort system can outrun a rocket and pull astronauts to safety if there is an emergency during lift-off.
The practice test for the launch abort system is another milestone bringing astronauts one step closer to going back to the moon and Mars in 2024.

"It was awesome to see it, I've been waiting a long time for this to go off and it went off great," said Bruce Owens. He made the 12 hour drive down from Virginia to watch it with his daughter and her boyfriend.
Owens said he actually works as an area flight mechanic engineer for NASA. He said for the last 10 years he has been working towards this moment.
"The trajectory you saw this morning, we actually do a lot of the predictions to make sure it goes where it's supposed to go."
"We actually ignite the abort motor which is about 400,000 lbs of thrust," said crew module manager Jenny Devolites. "Also ignites the attitude control motor that provides the steering you see. It rotates the vehicle around, re-orients it, puts the heat shield forward for descent."
NASA said the test took three minutes and 13 seconds.
Officials said the spacecraft traveled to an altitude of six miles when the launch abort system pulled away from the crew module. The module fell into the ocean at about 300 mph.
No one was on-board the spacecraft but when astronauts are inside there will be parachutes.

"It was amazing, it was amazing. Not as loud as I thought it would be but it was great we got here just in time. It's just something the kids will never forget," said Molly Antosz.
Her family was on a vacation at Disney when they heard about the abort test and decided to come see it in person.
"We were like we have to be there. Our son is named Orion and we wanted them to see it."
Crews recovered twelve data recorders that were ejected as part of the test. They will now study them to see how well the launch abort system performed.

ACCIONA Agua's 'Life-OFREA' Project has received the award for the Best process technology in the WEX Global Innovation Awards conferred during the forum held last month in Lisbon, a reference international event in the field of water and energy.
The award recognizes the most innovative process chosen from the entire water and wastewater treatment spectrum. The projects presented must demonstrate innovative applications of existing processes or new ones throughout the potable water production cycle, up to the treatment and removal of wastewater. The OFREA project, based on hybrid reverse osmosis technology, is a clear example of this. The process collects wastewater in coastal areas and applies advanced desalination technology that re-uses highly saline wastewater at a competitive cost.
ACCIONA Agua R&D Department Director Jorge Malfeito received the prize from the organizers.
The R&D OFREA project, co-funded by the European Commission under the European Union's LIFE+ programme, was headed by ACCIONA Agua and received support from ESAMUR (The Sanitation and Wastewater Treatment Department of the Region of Murcia).


In season one of Star Trek Voyager Captain Janeway needed to conserve replicator power so couldn't use it for real coffee. They approach a nebula hoping to collect enough energy to use for luxuries necessities like coffee.
Captain Janeway: There's coffee in that nebula.
In the photo Cristoforetti, the first Italian woman in space, is wearing Janeway's uniform while waiting for the Dragon module to bring them a custom made espresso machine, dubbed the ISSpresso.
The company that made the machine, Argotec, explains the development process here. What I'm curious about is who came up with the idea for the photo. Lavazza, the coffee supplier? Argotec? The Italian Space Agency? Cristoforetti? Someone on the ISS social media team?
Cristoforetti already has an amazing resume, and starting this week she will officially be the first to have the job I've read about in science fiction for decades, space barista.
Last week I wrote about the fund raisers that popped up for Officer Slager after shooting Scott Walker.
They, along with others, had already convinced Gofundme to remove this kind of fundraiser. Now Color of Change has asked the CEO of Indiegogo to change their policy, and to remove these kinds of fundraisers immediately.
This CoC campaign is a smart use of social media power. It not only addressed the instant news issue, but extended thanks to the business after they acted and suggested they make policy changes so their tools can't be used in this brand-damaging fashion in the future.
If your system can handle it, watch in 4k. This looks like a fun thing to do in New Zealand after visiting all the Lord of the Rings and Hobbit locations.
I can barely wait for the Rand Paul announcement for President. It's perfect timing. I know he will be talking about his views on taxes. It would be interesting if someone dug into where some of the craziness comes from.
Tax time makes right wingers crazy. Especially men. The thing is, even though I'm only half human male, I get freaked out around tax time too. I wonder how much of this is traditional guy stuff? Or white guy stuff?
You know the lines you hear from rich male jerks? "Money is just a way of keeping score." and "He who dies with the most toys wins." There is still a part of me that buys that and it takes a Vulcalean effort to look at it rationally.
This is the most straight-forward and powerful video I've seen in awhile. It's from a hearing on shipping fracking wastewater to a well in Sioux County Nebraska.
The lack of slickness helps. The crappy camerawork adds to the authenticity. I'd like my friends at various non-profits and activists to watch this to see what was done right.
The speaker knew his audience. Not only the commissioners, but the people in the room and in the community. He was not an outsider. He looked like them, dressed like them and talked like them. He addressed the concerns of both sides before his demo He made a powerful visual case with common items people knew He made an emotional appeal and had an intellectual back up. This is for the people who say they only decide based on "facts," to rationalize their emotional decision.
So many great things in one short video, and I'm glad that Bold Nebraska used it to get people to sign their petition, Don't Frak our Water.


I'm not quite back to brewing beer yet, but a visit to an apiary in the Fraser Valley got me thinking about other fermentation possibilities. I've had mead on the back of my mind for a while, but I finally committed to starting a batch this summer.
It's probably important to note that I'm not a huge mead fan in the first place. I've had drier interesting meads, but those are usually the exception. What I'm hoping to produce is an interesting base mead that I can balance with spices, tannins and acids. That's where the idea of combining peach, chipotle and citrus peel came from.
I debated a quick 15m boil vs. pitching direct, but I decided a boil for the sake of sanitation couldn't hurt. My refractometer and hydrometer disagreed about the final OG, it was somewhere between 1.114 (refractometer) and 1.125 (hydrometer) — I've been finding that despite being calibrated, my refractometer hasn't been as reliable as I'd expect. I may just not be using it right.
Aside from straight honey and yeast, all that went into the initial ferment was a bit of yeast nutrient and some acid blend for flavour. Fermentation happened slower than normal, with only about 40 points knocked off in a week, and maybe another 40 after 5 weeks. The peaches were added at 3.5 weeks to try and take advantage of still-active yeast while not blowing off too much aroma.
Around the two month mark it was clear the yeast had dropped out, but it wasn't as dry as I wanted. I was also getting worried about the yeast and peaches still in the primary, so I racked it off for the sake of a re-pitch. A gravity reading confirmed that at 1.032 it was still sweeter than I wanted, but at ~12% champagne yeast still has a higher alcohol tolerance so I might be able to clean up another 25 points or so with a re-pitch.
A few days later I started another batch and reclaimed an extra half liter of 1.100 must, so I topped up this one's missing volume and re-pitched. Two months later it looks like I over-shot, with a super dry 0.997 finish at ~16% alcohol. I considered my options to correct, but after adding the rest of the peaches I had saved in the freezer for a month and a half, enough sweetness was re-added to cut the dryness and bring it well back into the drinkable range. I doubt this would have been possible if there were still yeast in suspension, but it didn't appear like the peaches actually fermented.
At the six month mark I threw in the peel of half an orange for a couple of weeks. I had always planned to add some citrus brightness to this one, but after a few weeks it produced more of an artificial orange drink sweetness than a tingly citric acid edge, and gave it a bit of an oily texture. I tried a quick chipotle infusion of a week, but that was enough to contribute some extra tannic dryness and enough heat that I can't quite tell if it hides or accents the alcohol warmth. It came out hotter than I intended, but that should mellow with time.
I bottled a bit shy of a year in, it seemed ready to drink as it was going to get, so I bottled.

Philippine presidential candidate alleges clergy sexual abuse
Bishops urge Duterte to come forward so alleged abusers can be punished

At least two Catholic bishops urged a Philippine presidential candidate to speak up about his allegation that he is a victim of sex abuse by priests.
"I'm begging the good mayor on bended knees to please go to the civil court, and there file a case against these priests," said retired Archbishop Oscar Cruz of Lingayen-Dagupan.
Davao Mayor Rodrigo Duterte, a 2016 presidential aspirant, claimed that he was sexually abused by priests during his years at the Ateneo de Davao, a Jesuit-run school.
"I will tell you the abuses committed against the minors at that time ... including me," Duterte told reporters, after Catholic bishops criticized him for cursing Pope Francis in a Nov. 30 speech.
The mayor said he would expose everything if the Catholic bishops continue to criticize his candidacy.
"Do not make a big deal out of it, Socrates. If you do, I will withdraw from the presidential race, then you debate with me. Let us trace the history of your church," Duterte said, referring to Archbishop Socrates Villegas of Lingayen-Dagupan, president of the bishops' conference.
Archbishop Villegas has issued a statement criticizing Duterte after he cursed Pope Francis in a speech on national television for causing a traffic jam in Metro Manila during the papal visit in January.
"Vulgarity is corruption. When we find vulgarity funny, we have really become beastly and barbaric as a people," Archbishop Villegas said.
Manila Auxiliary Bishop Broderick Pabillo, meanwhile, said Duterte should tell his story so that the abusive priests can be punished.
"If a sin has been committed against him he should speak out," Bishop Pabillo said. "I pity him if he has long been carrying this with him."
Bishop Pabillo said Duterte will actually do the Catholic Church a favor by speaking out. "It will help clean our ranks," he said.
Archbishop Cruz said the mayor should tell the court the "who, how, when, and where" of the abuse.
"The church also does not condone these actions if done. Instead of talking and talking, file a case and let's see what is it all about," said Archbishop Cruz, a canon lawyer.

KNDD
The End of Violence is a 1997 film by the German director Wim Wenders. The film's cast includes Bill Pullman, Andie MacDowell, Gabriel Byrne, Traci Lind, Rosalind Chao, and Loren Dean, among others. It also features a soundtrack marked with the signature sounds of Wenders regulars Jon Hassell, Ry Cooder, and Bono. The film was praised by a select few critics for its cinematography, but performed poorly in the box office. It was entered into the 1997 Cannes Film Festival.
The movie had a budget of $5 million, but only received $386,673 in its domestic box office.
Like many other of Wenders' American movies, the film was shot in multiple locations, for instance the Griffith Observatory in Griffith Park and the Santa Monica Pier.
A scene in the film shows a live recreation of the painting Nighthawks by Edward Hopper.

KHTB (101.9 FM) is a Salt Lake City, Utah-based radio station. The station's studios are located in South Salt Lake (behind the I-15/I-80 interchange) and its transmitter site is located southwest of the city on Farnsworth Peak in the Oquirrh Mountains.
History of KKAT
In 1995, KKAT licensed "Young Country" from Alliance Broadcasting. It was the first country station to intentionally go after young listeners. Also that year, Kid Cassidy (John Potter) of KWNR replaced Gary and Scotty in the mornings, with Insane Rick Shane remaining as producer. Other local hosts were T.J. Evans, "Gentleman Jim" Mickleson, Bob Wells and Tracy Chapman, while Blair Garner did the overnight shift. KKAT took over the number one position among five country stations from KSOP-FM, the only station in the group to lose listeners. Gary and Scotty had been hired to replace Ken Simmons after Simmons' arrest for lewd behavior, and the station and the morning hosts could not overcome the stigma of that incident. But hiring Cassidy and a strong promotional effort worked. KKAT would be replaced by KPQP, a Top 40 station, in 2004. KPQP would last until KENZ's move to the frequency in late 2005.

KNDD (107.7 FM), also known as "107.7 The End", is an alternative rock radio station in Seattle, Washington. It is operated by Entercom Communications. Its studios are located in the Metropolitan Park West tower between Downtown and South Lake Union in Seattle. The station broadcasts on 107.7 MHz with an ERP of 68,000 watts and transmits from a tower near Issaquah, Washington on Tiger Mountain.
KNDD broadcasts in HD.
The station began its life in 1962 as non-commercial KRAB, founded by Lorenzo Milam and eventually owned by the Jack Straw Memorial Foundation. KRAB broadcast an eclectic mix of Pacifica radio features, world music, jazz, and much more. But the station was also dangerously close to insolvency. Its management realized the station could be sold to a commercial broadcaster and an endowment created, allowing the Foundation to broadcast in the non-commercial part of the radio dial, which exists between 88.1 MHz and 91.9 MHz. The owners of KRAB originally applied to share time with KNHC, owned by the Seattle Public Schools. However, this action was seen by the school district as a hostile take-over bid. Ultimately, the owners got a license for 90.7 MHz in Everett, Washington. KRAB's legacy remains on the air at KSER.

The Fourth World shall end soon, and the Fifth World will begin. This the elders everywhere know. The Signs over many years have been fulfilled, and so few are left.
"And this is the Ninth and Last Sign: You will hear of a dwelling-place in the heavens, above the earth, that shall fall with a great crash. It will appear as a blue star. Very soon after this, the ceremonies of the Hopi people will cease.
"These are the Signs that great destruction is here: The world shall rock to and fro. The white man will battle people in other lands -- those who possessed the first light of wisdom. There will be many columns of smoke and fire such as the white man has made in the deserts not far from here. Those who stay and live in the places of the Hopi shall be safe. Then there will be much to rebuild. And soon, very soon afterward, Pahana will return. He shall bring with him the dawn of the Fifth World. He shall plant the seeds of his wisdom in our hearts. Even now the seeds are being planted. These shall smooth the way to the Emergence into the Fifth World."

Q: TypeScript error with jQueryUI AutoComplete in VS2015 I am running Visual Studio 2015 Professional Update 2, and regularly getting a TypeScript error when building the solution for a client's system. The particular error is:
TS2345 Argument of type
    '{
        source: (req: any, resp: any) => void;
        focus: (event: any, ui: any) => void;
        minLength: number;
        ...'
    is not assignable to parameter of type 'AutocompleteOptions'.
    Object literal may only specify known properties, and 'focus' does not exist
    in type 'AutocompleteOptions'.

Having looked at the jQueryUI documentation for autocomplete, this appears to be legitimate.
The fragment of code causing this error (from within an init() function) is as follows:
$(lookupElem).autocomplete({
    source: (req, resp) => this.onAutoCompleteRequest(req, resp),
    focus: (event, ui) => {
        // Don't populate input field with selected value (pxid)
        event.preventDefault();
    },
    minLength: 3,  // Don't call autocomplete until specified number of characters have been input
    select: (e, ui) => this.onItemSelected(e, ui)
});

This has worked in VS2013, so I'm not sure why VS2015 is having an issue. This is causing the rest of the solution (e.g. Azure components, separate MVC website) to fail the build, plus it's deleting the existing .js and .js.map files from my source folder.
How can I either:

*

*fix this; or

*suppress this error completely from Visual Studio?

My version of the TypeScript tools is 1.8.24.0, which appears to be up-to-date from within Tools => Extensions and Updates.
Many thanks.

A:
This has worked in VS2013, so I'm not sure why VS2015 is having an issue

This is because of a new feature of freshness in TypeScript : https://basarat.gitbooks.io/typescript/content/docs/types/freshness.html
Quick Fix
Just move to a variable:
const config = {
    source: (req, resp) => this.onAutoCompleteRequest(req, resp),
    focus: (event, ui) => {
        // Don't populate input field with selected value (pxid)
        event.preventDefault();
    },
    minLength: 3,  // Don't call autocomplete until specified number of characters have been input
    select: (e, ui) => this.onItemSelected(e, ui)

};
$(lookupElem).autocomplete(config);

Digitization and the Labor Market: No Need to Panic?
Computers, robots, and artificial intelligence: will they cause half of all future jobs to disappear due to machines taking over the tasks performed by people? That, at least, is what scientists from Oxford University are forecasting. How likely is this horror scenario of global mass unemployment?
Fear of the end of work and of global mass unemployment is nothing new. "The only question is, when it will happen? Experts are divided into two camps. Some maintain that the flood will rise quickly and that 80 percent of all jobs will be destroyed in the next 20 years. Others believe that this will not come to pass until later." These sentences appeared in 1979, i.e. exactly 38 years ago, in the German news magazine "Der Spiegel". Almost 20 years later, in 1997, US economist Jeremy Rifkin published his worldwide bestseller "The End of Work", in which he put forward the central thesis that unemployment would increase massively around the world as a consequence of automation and the proliferation of IT in the working environment – the digital revolution would make many millions of jobs in manufacturing, retail, agriculture and the service sector redundant. Rifkin prophesied that only twelve percent of the global population would work in manufacturing by 2010, and that this figure would decrease further to just two percent by 2020. A study entitled "The Future of Employment" by British economists Carl Benedikt Frey and Michael A. Osborne is currently creating a similar stir as Rifkin's book did in his day. They conclude that 47 percent of jobs across all sectors are at risk of being replaced by computers.
Less work or new jobs?
How realistic is the thesis of the end of work due to the digitization of routine tasks? Computers, robots, and artificial intelligence do, in fact, offer many benefits: companies save on personnel expenditure and improve their services because things are becoming more convenient, faster, and also cheaper for customers. Who will still need a human workforce in the end? But does this necessarily mean that industrialized societies are heading for the end of work? Economists and labor market researchers are hugely divided on this question. Some assume that humanity will one day make itself redundant as a consequence of the digital transformation; others are more sanguine and point out that digitization has not resulted in fewer but actually more jobs in the past.
Not a race against technology
Labor market researcher Werner Eichhorst from the Institute of Labor Economics (IZA) in Bonn is a representative of the more optimistic group. He says: "Structural change is not a new phenomenon. Nor is it a greater threat now than in the past. We find that employment has actually risen, if anything. Consequently, I don't expect mass unemployment due to technology." The papers published by Terry Gregory from the Centre for European Economic Research (ZEW) in Mannheim support this statement. During the period from 1999 to 2010, digitization in the working environment cost some 9.6 million jobs throughout Europe, but 21 million new positions were created over the same time. Gregory has also scrutinized the study conducted by his British colleagues and found: "Frey and Osborne throw all the jobs of one profession into one pot and declare them all as equally automatable." In reality, there is a highly diverse range of jobs in every individual profession, according to Gregory. There are frequently very different profiles involved. And the routine tasks that computers and robots can now perform only make up a small part of people's jobs. Today, human labor focuses on more complex tasks: coordination in a team as well as internal and external communication with other sections. "This means that human work is not in a race against technology," says Gregory. "The two go hand in hand." In his study "The Risk of Automation for Jobs", he therefore also comes to the conclusion that it is not every second job that is at risk through digitization in OECD countries, but at most every tenth.
Rising demand for specialists
And what does this mean for the German labor market? "I believe that it is plausible for the current trend to continue, based on the last 20 to 30 years," explains labor market researcher Eichhorst. "We have already experienced a high level of penetration by IT and the Internet over this time. The demand for more highly qualified people, for specialists who are well-versed specifically in these technologies, will rise. On the other hand, the areas that will come under pressure are those where tasks can be performed faster and at a lower cost with automation ." New jobs will consequently be created for highly qualified people and possibly for low-skilled workers. Take 3D printing as an example: the engineer does the programming, the unskilled employee operates the equipment. And who will lose out? The classic production worker. According to the OECD,
eight percent of semi-skilled jobs have disappeared since 1995 in Germany alone, while the demand for high and low-skilled workers has risen.
Customer management performed by algorithms
No need to panic then? Maybe there is after all. Banks and insurance companies may be at the threshold of the greatest technological upheaval in their history. Digitization and artificial intelligence will bring about massive changes in these sectors – and that includes customer management. Chatbots and computer algorithms already analyze and process incoming data quickly and without errors – be it a claim submission or a bank transfer. Human customer care staff in call centers and branches will soon no longer be needed for simple tasks because customers can perform transactions by themselves via an app on their tablet or smartphone. Only more complicated cases will require human intervention. In addition, insurance companies, for instance, will increasingly rely on automation and the number of jobs in customer management will decline more and more. IZA researcher Eichhorst, however, doubts whether the job losses in customer management due to the digital revolution will affect the entire labor market: "I would pour a little cold water on the pessimists' ideas," he says. "You simply have to acknowledge that German industry has actually gained considerable benefits from the digital transformation. Why should that not be the case in future?"

Q: Laptop always plugged to charger: how to properly keep the battery's lifespan I provided my HP  Probook laptop with a 9 cell 6900 mAh battery, which obviously gave good autonomy. I always keep it plugged in to the charger.
I noticed (and I guess that is due an embedded function in the BIOS or in the battery's circuit) that as soon the battery percentage reach 97%, the charging process restarts: I mean that as 100% is reached, the charging process stops, and until 98% is obviously reported "plugged in, not charging" and when 97% is reached, the charging process starts again. I utilize such laptop for several hours during the day (I would say for about 8 – 9 hours) and I see such process (charging from 97% to 100%) for about two or three times. I have to say that this charging process from 97% to 100% takes almost/less than 10 minutes: is very quick, so – at least in terms of temperature – the battery shouldn't suffer too much.
What makes me puzzled is to see these brief charging sessions every day, and by searching on some guides and how-to about properly keep laptops batteries, seems that to maintain a wise lifespan of the battery, the charging sessions should be reduced, but is not my case, and I fear that on the long term, the battery will last less than normal.
Furthermore, on the HP Notebook PCs - Improving Battery Performance's page, they claims:

To protect the battery from multiple, brief charging sessions when you
  connect the power cord, the battery does not begin charging until the
  charge falls below 94%.

But in my case, this happen on 97%.
So, here main questions: maybe would be a good practice to unplug the charger after that battery reached 100% of the charge and plug it again, eg, on a lower percentage, like 40%? Or maybe even better (as someone else claims) keep in the 40 - 80% range?
I cannot figure out, in terms of strain and battery's lifespan, if is better to do these brief and quick charging sessions for 2 – 3 times at day (from 97 to 100% in about 10 minutes) or lessen them at the cost of more time spent in the charging process (should take about 1 hour to go from 40% to 100%), and so increments the charge/discharge cycles, which could also increase the battery's temperature (more time spent in the charging process).

A: This is a pretty broad question, as different batteries do different things.  There are some basics we need to understand about battery charging in order to answer.
1. Battery indicators are unreliable.
Ever had an iPhone that dropped from 50% to 11% in a matter of seconds?  That's because the actual battery measurement hardware is usually cheap junk.  The difference between an indication of 94% and 97% can be pretty arbitrary, especially if the indicator is measuring the amount of electricity leaving the battery and not the amount of electricity stored inside (which is usually how it works).
2. Battery charge shutoff is a thing.
There was a time where you could "overcharge" a battery by leaving it plugged in, but most decent electronics now disconnect the battery from the incoming power when the battery reaches 100% charge.  Remember, battery measurement hardware is usually cheap junk.  If you've got a good, high-end laptop, chances are you can trust its regulator to cut off the battery appropriately.  If you have a Wal-Mart Acer or Gateway that was not only on sale, but came with a free copy of a Deer Hunter game, don't trust that regulator.  Phones are the same way; that's why even though a Samsung Note Awesome Edition will tell you to disconnect its cord at full charge just as much as an offbrand FailurePro 2000.
3. Memory isn't a thing.
You may hear that you should always charge to 100%, because if you don't, you set the battery to only charge up to a certain point.   This is known as "memory", as well.  It's also not a problem anymore.   This is because Lithium-Ion batteries do not work on the exact principles as Nickel-Cadmium batteries did, which do have the memory effect.  Ni-Cad are also the batteries that usually overcharge to the point the casing starts getting wobbly like a waterbed and will catch fire during use if you try when it's like that.
With all of that understood, the answer becomes "it depends on the battery and the hardware".   The real reason to avoid multiple burst charges is because this tends to pass a small power surge through the battery, repeatedly.  That is taxing on the hardware for the actual power socket, as well as the battery bay, and is undesirable.  This can, in turn, damage the battery.   What the manufacturer is referring to, however, is preventing the rapid power ebb and flow of dropping to 99% and then charging back up during use, over and over.  That could happen hundreds of times per second, which is much different than you just plugging it in when it hits 95%.
As far as the overall life of the battery, chances are that it will last as long as you will use the device.  Modern batteries don't have the worrying limits to charge repetition that they used to have, but if it's an honest worry, it's less trouble just to keep an extra battery on hand in case your existing one refuses a charge one day.

Arpaio Pardon is Far from Popular
Trump's pardoning of Joe Arpaio, even though it was announced and expected, sent shockwaves across the U.S. and the world.
Mexican media reached out to Lacey and Larkin Frontera Fund to broadcast our opinion.
In Phoenix, more than 150 lawyers, who for the most part do not organize protests as a group, got together in front of a federal courthouse to voice their rejection of what they called "an abuse of the Constitution."
"This is a case study in abuse of power and willful contempt of court orders," said Noel Fidel, a former presiding judge of the Maricopa County Superior Court.
They are not alone. National newspapers and magazines published op-eds expressing dismay for this affront to the judiciary.
According to a poll by NBC News conducted just after the pardon, a majority of people say "President Trump did the wrong thing in granting Arizona's former Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio a pardon."
Trump may say the move is very popular, but the poll found that 60 percent of voters said Mr. Trump did the wrong thing, 34 percent said he did the right thing and 6 percent gave no answer.
The poll surveyed 10,219 adults between August 24 and 29 and had a 1.4 percentage point margin of error.
Even the conservative National Review, a political commentary publication, expressed their displeasure about the pardon, calling it "Unmerited, Unnecessary, Impulsive."
Describing the reasoning, Andrew C. McCarthy mentions that the pardon was premature and "rash" since the judicial process has not even finished; Arpaio was supposed to be sentenced on October 5.
Also, the appeal process was not set in motion. Arpaio was entitled to appeal all the way to the Supreme Court.
An important element of the pardoning process is the expression of contrition by the convicted criminal, and therefore a five-year period of waiting before pardoning is necessary.
We know Arpaio feels no remorse but instead defiance to the court orders and the judges.
According to the analysis, Trump could have commuted the sentence (shortened it, as in the case of Chelsea Manning, for example). But by choosing to pardon, Trump became part of the same contempt of court Arpaio was accused of exhibiting.
"A full pardon… extinguishes the wrong. It puts Trump in the position of endorsing Arpaio's misconduct – a law officer's arrogant defiance of lawful court orders, which themselves were issued as a result of judicial findings that Arpaio discriminated against Latinos in conducting unlawful arrests," says McCarthy.
And that is not good news for a president… or the country.

Whitby Town were held to a 1-1 draw by fellow Evo-Stik Premier Division strugglers Grantham on Saturday.
Three points from their clash with the Gingerbreads would have seen the Seasiders escape the relegation places on goal difference, however a disappointing second-half performance allowed the visitors to claim a share of the spoils.
Darren Williams handed a first start to former Middlesbrough and Hartlepool man Ryan Brobbel, and the attacking midfielder impressed, particularly in the first period.
Brobbel combined nicely with Mikey Roberts on a number of occasions, most notably in the 31st minute when Roberts set up the Blues' number 10 to slide the ball past Jake Turner and put Town 1-0 up.
Williams' men were good value for their lead heading into the interval, but they were caught sleeping just a couple of minutes after the resumption and Greg Smith was afforded time and space to fire home at the back post for 1-1.
As Grantham grew into the match and the game began to open up, the visitors looked more and more of a threat, and Whitby were indebted to goalkeeper Shane Bland who made a number of important saves.
The Blues created enough chances of their own to win the game in the second period despite never really hitting top gear.
Roberts failed to find the back of the net when well placed on a couple of occasions before Callum Martin took advantage of a defensive slip and burst through on goal in the closing stages, only to send his shot just over Turner's crossbar.
With almost the last kick of the game, Dave McTiernan had a great opportunity to seal all three points but was denied by a fine stop from Grantham's gloveman.

Traditional Vinica House
Vinička ulica 73 , 42207 Marčan Show on map Virtual tour
The traditional architectural heritage in the area of the Vinica municipality is marked by preserved residential and commercial buildings that are made of the vinicit stone. The vinicit stone was excavated in the past and is still being excavated today in the Marčan quarry in the Vinica municipality. Most of the residential and commercial buildings of this area were built with the vinicit stone. This yellowish stone is porous and easy to process. Due to its readability and lightweightness, it was used as a building material in past days.
The traditional Vinica house is located on cadastral plot no. 308/22, cadastre municipality Marčan, at Vinička 73, Marčan. The building is located on the main road in Marčana, opposite the Opeka arboretum. It is an extended ground floor house, built entirely of vinicit stone, measuring 13.1m x 5m. It is a proper floor plan, located on the construction axis of the street. It has a double roof covered with tiles. The facade on the west side is divided with three wooden triangular windows. On the eastern side is an entrance door to the building and one window. Inside is the preserved original traditional layout of the rooms. From the hallway, there is an entrance straight into the kitchen, and on the north and south side there is one bigger room. On the ceiling there is a partially boarded slab, and partially a base of a truncated plank, on which the plaster is located. The original carpentry was preserved in the house. The doors are very well-made and represent a valuable craftwork that is often present in rural construction in the northwestern part of Croatia.
Apart from the house there is also a commercial building, located in relation to the house in the form of the letter L. The commercial building is also made of vinicit stone, has a double roof covered with tiles, and on the south side has two smaller windows and two doors.
The traditional Vinica house built of vinicit stone, together with the associated inventory and economic construction, is authentic for the area of Vinica Municipality and is an example of traditional construction of this area. It can be dated to the period of the first half of the 20th century.

This is a new printing of the original edition (with the reissue cover) on sturdy acid-free paper. 28 pages. We include a capsule biography of Grieg and notes on the music. Also, there is a capsule biography of Harvey Gaul, a photo, and his organ opus list. Highest quality guaranteed. Size of music is 9.5" x 12.5". $15.00.
Harvey B Gaul (1881-1945), student of Buck, Guilmant and Widor, is best known for his prolific output of compositions and transcriptions. He was also known for his scholarly writing, and I include a sample article he wrote in 1916 on Easter organ music. (Read an example from 1918.) "Peer Gynt" was written by the great Norwegian playwright, Henrik Ibsen, and it was Ibsen who asked Grieg to write 32 pieces of incidental music for the play. He completed the set in 1876 and selected four of them in 1888 as the First Peer Gynt Suite, Opus 46. The titles are: "Morning Mood," "The Death of Åse," "Anitra's Dance," and "In the Hall of the Mountain King." Much of this will be recognizable to your audience and it's great fun for the organist. Moderately difficult.


DFX worked with Dolce Basking Ridge to put together this pipe & drape, uplighting, and gobo setup.
This is a great example of how drape and uplighting can completely change the look of a space. These pictures show our wireless LEDs, which are the size of a brick and very portable. They run on a remote control and can be programmed to show any color you choose, and can easily be programmed with up to 10 different colors at once.

The Justia Lawyer Directory is a listing of lawyers, legal aid organizations, and pro bono legal service organizations. Whether you were injured, are accused of a crime, or are merely engaging in everyday affairs that affect your legal rights or property, an attorney can help you resolve problems or prevent new ones from arising.
Here are just a few situations where you might want to seek the advice of an attorney:
You were injured in a car or truck accident
You have been arrested and charged with a crime, such as DUI or shoplifting
You are considering separating from your spouse
You have been subjected to harassment or other discrimination at work
Use Justia to research and compare Pinehurst attorneys so that you can make an informed decision when you hire your counsel.
It is important to research an attorney before hiring him or her. Be sure to evaluate an attorney's experience (types of cases handled, prior results obtained, etc.). Although prior results are not indicative of the likelihood of success in your case, they can help you make an informed decision.
Also worth serious consideration is the attorney's location, particularly if you will be traveling to visit him or her for consultations.
Finally, research an attorney to see whether he or she has ever been subject to discipline. Although disciplinary actions do not necessarily impact the attorney's competence to handle your case, they may affect your decision whether to hire.

Q: How to remove url from print(in browser) I am printing html pages in c#. In the print function I have used
OnClientClick="window.print();return false;"

*

*But the print comes along with the url in the header. How to remove this url?

*I have a print button in the page and the button also comes in the print. How to remove this?

I am using CSS 2.0 so need a solution for CSS 2.0.
Thanks

A: Just use print media query in css to hide button :
@media print {
 #button-id{
   display: none; /* This will hide your print button in print view */
  }
 @page {
    size: auto;   /* auto is the initial value */
    margin: 0;  /* this affects the margin in the printer settings */
  }
}

A: I did this and both the problems got solved.
    @page
    {

        size: auto;   /* auto is the current printer page size */
        margin: 0mm;  /* this affects the margin in the printer settings */
    }

    @media print {
        #print {
            display :  none;
        }

Máximo Palacio De Gracia

Palacio De Gracia, Máximo (1913–2014)
By Rosalinda Hils E.
Rosalinda Hils E. has a degree in nursing and is director of SIEMA and director of the Children, Teenagers, and Women Ministries of the Panama Union Mission.
Authored By Rosalinda Hils E. From Inter-American Division Biographies
Máximo Palacio De Gracia was a pioneer, an evangelist, an outstanding preacher, and the founder of more than 12 churches in Panama.
Máximo Palacio De Gracia was born on October 15, 1913, in the community of Tijeras in the province of Chiriquí in the Republic of Panama.1 His parents were Faustino Palacio and Antonia De Gracia. He was the youngest of the four children--Francisca, Querubín, and Sara.
At first, he attended elementary school. However, as soon as he learned to read and write, he dropped out of school--at that point, he was eight years old. From then on, his time was spent next to his father on "the farm," a plot of land of 11 acres where they planted rice, corn, yucca, beans, and watermelons, or in the carpentry shop where they made tables, beds, and countless pieces of wooden furniture for their home. Both activities also provided the financial means for family sustenance.
One day, taking advantage of his father's absence, he saw the old guitar that a neighbor had brought to have repaired. He took it in his young hands, looked it over, checked it out musically, and fell in love with it. In a short time, he had completely disassembled it and concluded that it was extremely easy to make a new one. That was the beginning of their factory that produced excellent handmade guitars, and they were characterized by the incomparable sound they made when someone was playing them.2
Not content with just making guitars, he made the decision to learn to play them as well, and so, in every free moment, you could find him practicing chords, rhythms, and cheerful sounds. After talking with his cousin Ángel De Gracia, who played the mandolin very well, they both agreed to form an ensemble that played dance music. From that moment on, they played night after night, from party to party, from dance to dance. Days, months, and years went by from the farm to the carpentry and from the carpentry to playing, from winter to winter, and from summer to summer.
In 1937, at the age of 24, he met a very beautiful young woman in his community. He began to court her and promptly proposed that she would "go with him." That was the custom of the time. Everyone all around him had done this, including his grandparents, parents, friends, and neighbors.
It seemed they couldn't wait, though. On the agreed night, while everyone slept, they agreed that this young woman would leave her house with her belongings and move into her young husband's house. The next day, it surprised all their relatives to see that the fiancée had left the paternal house, thus indicating the beginning of a new family. That's exactly what happened. Isabel Gonzalez became the faithful and selfless woman who accompanied him throughout his life.3
With the new responsibility of taking care of his young bride, Máximo's evening outings with his cousin quickly reduced in number. For cousin Angel, this became very boring, so he decided to move to La Concepción, a center of commerce and a place with many people.
On one occasion, he heard in the central park someone announcing that a preacher would be speaking in the Adventist Church. Since it was boring because now at night there was nothing interesting to do, he decided to listen to the preacher. He did not miss a single night! What he heard he found was incredible for they were things that, until then, were unknown to him!
Astounded by what he heard, he decided to visit his former "teammate." Ángel was excited, not by the dance music, but by the music the good news of salvation produced in his ears. After much searching, they found an old, dusty Bible in a trunk. That night, they lit the kerosene lamp and together began the exciting journey of reading the Word of God, learning about sacrifice, forgiveness, and the soon return of Jesus.
They found out what the days of worship were and very soon Máximo, Elizabeth, and Ángel, the cousin, were attending the Adventist Church at Conception every Sabbath. The guitar and the old mandolin now changed the stage they performed on, and instead ofdancing, they were encouraging those in the singing services and all the activities that the church held.
In 1940, being aware that only the truth would make them free from sin, Isabel and Máximo formally joined their lives in marriage and were later baptized by Pastor Christianson in the Adventist Church of La Concepción, Chiriquí.
In 1948, leaders arrived from the Pacific Press publishing house that was located in the province of Colon in Panama. They were looking for workers to help in the process of compiling the books that were produced there. Shortly thereafter, Máximo, Isabel, and cousin Ángel traveled some 500 kilometers to work for this publisher.
In 1953, this prestigious publishing house moved to the United States. All three of them were selected to be part of the staff that would move to North America. Although the financial offer was very attractive, Máximo did not accept this proposal. He confidently decided to return to Chiriqui, his hometown, to his people, to preach!
Upon returning to Chiriqui, he served in the church as a deacon, group leader, treasurer, elder, Bible instructor, and evangelist. Together with José Del Carmen Santamaría, Clemente Castillo, Raúl Quintero, and cousin Ángel, they began to visit different communities and hamlets, giving Bible studies in the homes of interested people. Whether there was rain or sunshine, Máximo was there. During cold or heat, in dust or mud-- nothing stopped him. He preached with love and passion.
During that time, the community consisted mostly of Catholics. Although not all were practitioners of this religion, they heard these three men saying these "strange and different things." On several occasions, several locals armed themselves with stones and attacked them. Instead of frightening and discouraging them, these incidents encouraged them more. Fire and passion were their lives--fire for preaching, passion for sharing their new faith.
One night, when they had finished their Bible studies, they found to their unpleasant surprise that the seats of the bicycles on which they were riding had been soiled with feces. That night, men from the village hid behind trees and bushes to enjoy the spectacle, watching three preachers pushing the bicycles without being able to ride them.
They also had "encounters" with the leaders of different churches, where each person professed his or her beliefs. Verses came and went. The tones of voice sometimes were raised. The faces of the participants reddened, causing a real spectacle since many people gathered to see who "won."
The principal character of this story, "Don Man" what Máximo's friends called him, was invited to these "religious duels." Máximo's great ability to memorize biblical texts and quotations was noteworthy; he was also able to give excellent biblical interpretations since he was an assiduous reader of Ellen White's books. He "won" these debates several times because of the many texts he could recite from memory. One of the most outstanding presentations was when he confronted the people's priest, and they debated about "Sabbath or Sunday." Having nothing in the Bible to support him, the priest soon became very angry and, rising abruptly from his chair, he said, "Let's leave this here…let's leave this here." Thus, little by little, he earned his reputation as a man who knew the Bible.
Palacio De Gracia preached his message to Laureano Martínez, Basilio Hernández, Arístides Gonzáles and, as a result, more than 1,000 people were baptized by his ministry. Laureano Martínez excelled at preaching in the area where he lived, from the community of La Estrella to the border with Costa Rica. Mr. Basilio Hernandez taught and preached in Volcán and Cerro Punta.
By visiting, encouraging, and preaching, Máximo gained the respect, admiration, and affection of those who knew him. He was the founder of the Adventist churches in San Pablo, Macano, Cerro Cabuya, Cerro Colorado, Boquerón, Vitalac, Tijeras, Tres Ángeles, El Tejar, Alanje, and Guarumal.
On his 100th birthday, his voice continued to be easily heard and very audible, his mind was clear, and he could tell stories with extraordinary detail. He never retired from preaching. He witnessed to everyone who visited him at his home. His dedication and voluntary missionary work were recognized by the Church. On April 30, 2009, he received a tribute and a plaque thanking him for his work from the Panama Adventist Conference.
Máximo Palacio De Gracia died in the same community that saw him grow and that heard him preach for more than 100 years on January 13, 2014, surrounded by family and friends.
Máximo Palacio De Gracia is recognized as one of the pioneers of the West Panama Conference. As a result of the Bible studies he gave, the visits he made, and the evangelistic campaigns he held, today there are 12 congregations, and they have almost 1,000 members.
When he worked at Pacific Press in Colón, he dedicated himself to preaching in Cativá. Five families were baptized. Today, a beautiful church with more than 800 members is there. The Boqueron II district has 12 churches started by Máximo Palacio De Gracia: Alanje, Tijeras, Tres Angeles, Tejar de Alanje, Guarumal, Varital Este, San Pablo, Cerro Cabuya, Cerro Colorado, Macano, and Boqueron.2

What You Might Not Know About Kim Goldman
CC | tv-14
In 1995, O.J. Simpson was acquitted of the murder of his estranged wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ronald Goldman. During the trial and the ensuing decades, Ronald's sister, Kim Goldman, has told the press she's still angry about the outcome of the trial and the way it was represented in the media.
Based on media coverage, Kim says, people may come to see her as a sad, bitter person. That perception, she says, couldn't be further from the truth. "I think the misconception people have about me is that I am angry all the time, that I cry all day long, that I wake up and my day consists of how I can stick it to the killer," Kim says. "People, when they see me for a 10 second soundbite on television being upset about something, they assume that I am stuck in the same place I was 21 years ago."
Here, Kim opens up about her life away from the cameras.
