A Clackamas County sheriff's deputy shot and wounded the husband of an Oregon City policewoman after the man went berserk in a highway intersection Friday afternoon, firing shots into the air and at police pleading with him to put down his guns.
Thomas Lee Nunes, 44, of 207 Eluria St., Oregon City, was in serious condition at University Hospital in Portland with three bullet wounds in his chest, abdomen and face.
His wife, Officer Lisa Nunes, 37, went to the department at 2:15 p.m. Friday to report her husband breaking up their house with a sledgehammer and threatening to kill her unless she left.
As police prepared to go to the couple's home and arrest him, someone telephoned a report of an apparently drunken driver at South Maplelane and South Beavercreek roads. The caller said the green-and-white, two-door Plymouth Duster was heading toward the Cascade Highway, also known as the Oregon 213 Bypass.
A second call soon afterward reported a man shooting a gun in the intersection of the bypass and Washington Street, just south of Interstate 205. Police and sheriff's deputies converged on the scene at 3:25 p.m.
"It all happened really fast," said Tom Carlson, 30, of Southwest Portland, who witnessed the shooting.
Carlson and his landscaping partner, Dale Huss, 29, of Southeast Portland drove into the intersection to find Nunes' car with its passenger window shattered and three bullet holes in the windshield. They thought the driver was in trouble and were about to offer help when the man, a gun in his hand, walked to the middle of the intersection.
He started waving his arms and firing. Police said Nunes fired 10 shots in all.
Police arrived and sealed off the busy intersection.
Shortly before 4 p.m. a Life Flight helicopter landed on the bypass and took Nunes away.
Dozens of police and sheriff's deputies swarmed over the scene, combing it for spent ammunition cartridges and other evidence. The intersection remained closed for another 2 1/2 hours.
Spokesmen for both the police and sheriff's departments gave official but somewhat sketchy accounts of the shooting. They said a sheriff's deputy shot Nunes, but they did not know Friday night which deputy it was. No Oregon City officers fired their guns.
Nunes then walked toward police with no guns showing.
Watt said Nunes pulled one from inside his jacket, under which he wore a bullet-resistant vest. Police yelled at him to drop the gun. Instead, Watt said, Nunes "brought the gun down into a pointing position" and fired at least once at the officers. The shot missed.
A deputy returned fire, shooting three times, and "apparently, all three shots hit," Watt said.
Detective Gordon L. Huiras, a spokesman for the Oregon City Police Department, said that he didn't know the couple well, but that he had seen them together a few times when Tom Nunes picked up his wife after work.
Lisa Nunes is a patrol officer, assigned to the graveyard shift. She has been with the department for 3 1/2 years. Before that she was a policewoman in Roseburg.
"She's well-liked and a hard worker who does good, quality police work," he said.
Thomas Nunes used to work as a cabdriver for Sassy Cab, Huiras said.
One of the Nuneses' neighbors, Coral Walterman, said she saw the couple early Friday when Walterman went outside to pick up her newspaper.
"It looked like they were all happy; they were saying goodbye to some man," said Walterman.
By Friday evening, Oregon City police had secured the Nuneses' ranch-style house, which backs onto Newell Creek Canyon.
A police officer in a flower-print dress stood beside her husband in Clackamas County Circuit Court on Monday; he was clad in jailhouse blues, shackles and cuffs.
Lisa M. Nunes told the judge there would be no alcohol or guns in their house, not after what her husband of 19 months had done — shot up a busy intersection while astoundingly drunk.
Thomas Lee Nunes, 44, cried, tears streaming from the only eye he has left after a sheriff's detective opened fire on him March 3, knocking him to the ground and ending his shooting spree.
John C. Moore, Nunes' attorney, argued that his client has spent 65 days in jail and should not have to go into the county's residential center for 120 days, as the prosecutor asked.
Paul said hospital tests showed that Nunes had a .247 percent blood-alcohol level two hours after the shooting. That is more than triple the .08 percent level at which a driver is considered legally drunk in Oregon. Moore said Nunes had been drinking whiskey for 25 hours and was so intoxicated he did not know what he was doing and doesn't remember it now.
Paul said Nunes drove a car to the intersection, parked it in the middle of Washington Street and fired four .45-caliber pistol shots through its windshield and passenger door and another outside the car. He then got out of the car and fired five shots into the air.
When Nunes turned and pointed the gun toward sheriff's deputies and police who were yelling at him to put it down, Deputy Charles Bowen fired his own .45-caliber pistol three times at Nunes, wounding him each time.
Nunes, who had pleaded innocent to a 47-count indictment, pleaded guilty Monday to one felony, unlawful use of a weapon, and two misdemeanor counts of recklessly endangering another person. As a result of a plea bargain, the other charges were dropped.
Morgan ordered Nunes into the residential center for 120 days and back into jail until the center has an empty bed. He also ordered three years' probation and said Nunes must undergo evaluation.

Iron Ore Company of Canada to proceed with Wabush 3 project
The Iron Ore Company of Canada (IOC) will proceed with the Wabush 3 project following the approval of a CAD$79 million investment.
Wabush 3 is a new pit that will be developed within IOC's existing mine operations to extend the life of the mine, reduce operating costs and increase production of quality grade iron concentrates and pellets.
IOC chief executive officer and president Clayton Walker said "This value-driven investment will deliver significant benefits for our business, employees and surrounding communities in Labrador West and Sept Iles for many years to come, by increasing the life of the mine and allowing us to offer continued employment opportunities.
"The Wabush 3 pit is IOC's best option to access low-cost, quality ore and provides a compelling opportunity to make our business more competitive by reducing operating costs during a period of increasing iron ore price volatility.
"I would like to thank IOC employees, Unions and members of the community for the ongoing support they have demonstrated, which helps to build trust in our ability to create a viable business for future generations."
The Wabush 3 pit will be developed adjacent to Luce pit. All key regulatory and environmental approvals are in place and construction is expected to start in the second quarter of 2017. First ore from production mining is expected in the second half of 2018, helping IOC ramp up annual capacity from 18 million tonnes towards 23 million tonnes.
Wabush 3 will be fully integrated into IOC's overall Labrador City Operations, and will utilize its existing maintenance, ore delivery, processing and tailings management facilities as well as other aspects of IOC's current infrastructure and activities in the region.
IOC is committed to modernizing its assets and operating model to achieve safer and more stable production, with the objective of being a lower cost producer of quality grade iron concentrates and pellets for the steel industry, and make IOC the premier mining organization in North America.

First Appeal No. A/126/2016 (Arisen out of Order Dated 15/01/2016 in Case No. Complaint Case No. CC/267/2014 of District Howrah). Case: Pawan Sharma Vs The Branch Manager, UCO Bank and Ors.. West Bengal State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission
Judgment Cited in Precedent Map Related
Case Number First Appeal No. A/126/2016 (Arisen out of Order Dated 15/01/2016 in Case No. Complaint Case No. CC/267/2014 of District Howrah)
Counsel For Appellant: Sumita Roy Chowdhury, Advocate and For Respondents: Dipak Adak, Advocate
Judges Shyamal Gupta, (Presiding Member) and Utpal Kumar Bhattacharya, Member
Issue Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881 - Section 85(2)
Judgement Date April 05, 2017
Court West Bengal State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission
Shyamal Gupta, (Presiding Member), (Kolkata)
The present Appeal arises out of the Order dated 15-01-2016, passed by the Ld. District Forum, Howrah, in C.C. No. 267/2014, whereby the complaint case has been dismissed. Being aggrieved by and dissatisfied with the same, Complainant thereof has filed this Appeal.
Case of the Complainant, in short, is that, one Mr. Smrat, posing as agent of TATA Capital Financial Services Ltd. promised to arrange for a personal loan of Rs. 2,00,000/- that he was looking for in order to solemnize his daughter. As per the advice of said Mr. Smrat, he handed him over requisite documents and four cheque folios bearing Nos. 268487 - 490 and marked Cheque Nos. 268487 and 268488 as cancelled, but inadvertently he signed those cheques. Subsequently, he came to know that a sum of Rs. 70,500/- was debited from his savings account using cheque Nos. 268487 and 268488. As soon as he got wind of such fraudulent withdrawals from his account, he lodged an FIR with the concerned Police Station and also brought the matter to the notice of the OP Bank. It is further stated that payee's names written on the cheques-in-dispute were altered and also attempt was made to veil the same tactfully. Besides, from the reverse of those cheques it would appear that signature of the Complainant was forged. Wondering how such disparity in respect of his cheques escaped the attention of the concerned officials of the OP bank and terming such lapses as gross deficiency in service, the Complainant filed the instant complaint case before the Ld. District Forum.
Appearing to defend their case, OP Nos. 1 to 3 stated in their W.V. that in according with Sec. 85(2) of the N.I. Act, 1881, the instrument in which the word 'bearer' remains, the same instrument is always treated as a 'bearer' instrument irrespective of some persons' name written in the cheque as the 'payee'. In other words, in case of bearer cheques if the payee's name is written as A, the payment can be made to B, C or D unless the word 'bearer' is struck off from the cheque. In this case, as the word 'bearer' was not struck off, payment in the eye of law could be made to any Tom, Dick and Harry. The further case of the OPs is that, it was found that the Complainant/account holder duly put his signature in the designated space of the cheques. By his action the Complainant abated the commission of fraud if at all there was any fraud in this regard. As the Complainant did...

Q: To fit text in its rotated parent I've got this slice of code using bootstrap and pure css:

<link href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/twitter-bootstrap/4.1.3/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet"/>

      Lorem ipsum, dolor sit amet consectetur adipisicing elit. Error adipisci nisi vel incidunt saepe recusandae minus alias maiores dolore quidem nesciunt dicta nihil aut officia dolor, soluta, at, veniam totam. Lorem ipsum, dolor sit amet consectetur adipisicing
      elit. Error adipisci nisi vel incidunt saepe recusandae minus alias maiores dolore quidem nesciunt dicta nihil aut officia dolor, soluta, at, veniam totam.

as you see I've rotated the div tag for 45deg and p tag -45deg.
I want the text to be fit and responsive as there is no rotation on there.
but now text falls out of div.
how can I control it?

Cervical Vertigo means that dizziness is a function of head/on neck motion, rather than due to stimulation of the inner ear by motion or gravity.
The diagnosis of cervical vertigo is presently controversial. While nearly everyone agrees that cervical vertigo exists, very few agree on how it is diagnosed. This page outlines the author's method in diagnosing cervical vertigo. It is not standard practice in ENG testing at the present. From the author's experience, it is the only practical method of diagnosing cervical vertigo.
To diagnose cervical vertigo one must observe something that changes according to movement (position, velocity, acceleration) of the head with respect to the trunk.
The test we are discussing is often called the "Vertebral artery test", or VAT for short. However, with the method that we describe here, this is a misnomer, because the signs that we elicit are generally subtle and are mainly elicited by other processes.
This is how you do it - with the subject sitting upright, the head is rotated gently about the vertical axis to the end point of rotation, and this position is maintained for 30 seconds. During this period the eyes are kept in the center of the orbit, and monitored for development of a nystagmus, as shown below. The eyes are monitored in total darkness. This is most easily done with a VENG system.
Cervical nystagmus -- see Head-left.
This figure shows a weak left-beating nystagmus associated with turning the head to the left. There is no nystagmus with head-right or head center.
We recommend repeating this test when positive, to be sure it is reproducible.
Only a slight nystagmus is appreciated -- 1 to 5 deg/sec is typical.
It is always directed to the side of head rotation.
It does not start immediately but it builds up over time.
In the author's unpublished experience, this pattern frequently is associated with a C5-C6 disk herniation that is abutting the cord. It is rarely encountered in persons with normal cervical MRI scans.
Similar nystagmus (but for both directions of head rotation) may be in person with unilateral vestibular loss -- this is rarely associated with a disk herniation.
The body may be moved under a still head. We see no reason why this should be done as it is difficult.
One may compare head-supine to head-prone. This changes the direction of the gravity vector. While this works, it is more complex than the simple upright method.
Posturography may be used as an outcome measure (Alund et al, 1991).
Here we are speculating. When the head is turned 90 degree's on the neck, the spinal cord must also rotate 90 degrees within the spinal canal. We speculate that when there is a disk abutting the cervical cord, and the cord is attempting to rotate, that it presses up against the cord. For unknown reasons, this creates a small nystagmus that is always directed towards the direction of head rotation.
When doesn't it work ?
There are some people who have cervical vertigo due to neck spasm and pain. This method does not address this problem.
While the author finds this an immensely useful test, admittedly it is unaccompanied by any literature that might substantiate it's use. A simple blinded trial in which people known to have cervical disks were tested by an examiner blinded to their radiology, would be of considerable interest.

Community comes together to honor the veterans
Photo by AMANDA
This was the third annual veterans day luncheon. The choir, high hats, sparklers, and cheerleaders were present to show their appreciation. Here, two veterans are welcome with applause. (Photo By: Cynthia Rangel)
By Taryn Marceleno, Staff Writer
Applause filled the library as veterans walked through a victory line made by the Sparkers, High Hats, and cheerleaders. Student who work at Subway smiled and greeted all the vets with a sandwich, and the choir sang the National Anthem in honor for all those who served to protect our country.
"I appreciate our vets and their service that they gave and the love they bestowed on us," English teacher Margret Thomas said.
Thomas coordinated the 3rd annual Veterans Luncheon in honor of her father and all those who have served.
"My dad was a World War II veteran," Thomas said. "Once he passed away a couple years ago I decided to do something."
Thomas teamed up with former principle Dr. Andre Smith and created a celebration that would honor the faculty.
"Anytime you can have a celebration and have people who fought for our country getting our children involve, it's just wonderful," Thomas said.
Though the tradition began when Smith was here, Meekins wanted to uphold the tradition. Veterans Day is a very important in principle Carlos Meekins' household, as well.
"My father was in the marine corps, and my mother was in the army," Meekins said. "My brother is currently in the army,"
Meekins was thrilled by the idea of giving back to his faculty that served the country.
"Sometimes their service goes unnoticed and most veterans don't talk about what they did and where they served," Meekins said. "This is a great opportunity for the high school to acknowledge the contributions of those who work at the school and school district and acknowledge their service that makes our country great."
Duncanville Mayor David Green served in the Army for 6 years as the hospital administration before taking on the role as mayor.
"I wouldn't miss any opportunity to honor those who served our county doing what they did, I just wouldn't miss it," Green said.
Mayor Green walked table to table personally thanking the vets who served.
"It's so easy to forget but we wouldn't be here today if it weren't for the vets," Mayor Green said. "Many of them gave their lives. The people who are here today in the school system, they sacrificed to do what they did to give us a free country and be here today to celebrate it."
Being a veteran, Mayor Green understands the sacrifices that were made.
"I am proud to be a veteran," Mayor Green said. "I am proud of what I did for my country."
English teacher Medger Roberts joined the Navy to follow in his fathers footsteps.
"It felt like the right thing to do and having the opportunity to give back made sense," Roberts said.
The owner-operator of the Subway franchises in Duncanville, Allen Conley, donated Subway sandwiches for all the veterans.
"The way I look at it is this is," Conley said. "I serve sandwiches and these people serve their country and they have given a great sacrifice. The icing on the cake is that they continue their service working in schools."
13 students that work for Conley were invited to the luncheon to pass out sandwiches.
"I wanted them to witness it because they are not old enough to fully appreciate the sacrifice their teachers made," Conley said. "Its great to show this type of respect."

This week, the struggling Cleveland Browns offense appears to be getting a boost in the form of Kareem Hunt. The pro bowl running back has officially served his eight-game suspension, and joins a Browns team in dire need of a spark.
Of course, if you ask me, it's impossible to get excited about the potential Hunt can bring to Cleveland's offense. Not when I've watched this team spend all season wasting away an equally talented pro bowler at wideout.
It's becoming a running theme, but it can't be addressed enough. The Browns have been horribly mismanaging Odell Beckham Jr. and, frankly, there's no excuse for it.
Nick Broulis made note of this earlier today, but the more you dive into Cleveland's inability to utilize someone of Beckham's talent, the more aggravating it becomes.
In eight games this year, Beckham has 39 catches for 575 yards and one touchdown. It's hardly what anyone would've predicted halfway through his debut season with the Browns.
With that said, it's not the stats themselves which concern me. Instead, it's how little the Browns have done to improve them.
Cleveland made a concerted effort towards getting Beckham the ball in the early weeks of the season, giving him 21 total targets in two games. However, in the six games since, Beckham has been targeted ten or more times just once. He's had seven or less balls thrown his way in all but one of the past five games.
It gets worse.
To date, Beckham has less touchdown receptions than Ricky Seals-Jones, a backup tight end the Browns claimed off waivers a week before the season started.
In the red zone, Beckham becomes a ghost to both quarterback Baker Mayfield and coach Freddie Kitchens. He has just one red zone reception this season, good for seven yards. More often than not, Mayfield doesn't even look his direction when within 20 yards of the goal line.
Players Mayfield and Kitchens are focusing on in the red zone include tight end Demetrius Harris and wideout Antonio Callaway, guys who hardly boast the same resume and skills as Beckham.
Red zone targets this season:
1. Julian Edelman 18
2. Tyler Lockett 14
8. Jarvis Landry 11
61. Antonio Callaway 5
86. Demetrius Harris 4
126. Odell Beckham 3
— Jake Trotter (@Jake_Trotter) November 4, 2019
Most alarming about the above note is the fact Callaway somehow has more red zone targets than Beckham, despite having been suspended for the first four games of the season.
All in all, what we're seeing from Cleveland is an astounding waste of talent. These stats aren't just alarming, they're borderline criminal.
As noted, there's no excuse for this failure to take advantage of Beckham. Of course, this hasn't stopped the Browns from trying to make any.
On one hand, you have Kitchens insisting getting a three-time pro bowl wideout seven targets is more than enough.
"Odell had seven balls thrown to him. He caught five of them. I'm not responding to that." – Freddie Kitchens on OBJ wanting more chances on Sunday against Gilmore
— James Rapien (@JamesRapien) October 28, 2019
On the other, you have Mayfield claiming it's the double coverage Beckham receives that Cleveland is having trouble with.
#Browns QB Baker Mayfield: "People had this picture perfect thing that it was going to be sunshine & rainbows & he was going to have a whole lot of 1 on 1s. It's Odell Beckham. He's going to have double coverage. We have to find ways to format things to get him the ball."
— Keith Britton (@KeithBritton86) November 6, 2019
For the record, Beckham opened his career by logging at least 1,300 receiving yards in three straight seasons. I have more than a little difficulty believing he only started seeing double coverage upon coming to Cleveland.
As for Beckham's absence in red zone schemes, the common thought is the Browns are using him as a decoy. While I mildly understand this line of thinking, when using him this way, you're admitting that he's talented enough to merit almost all of the defense's attention.
Doesn't that mean he may be good enough to, I don't know, make a crucial play when you're 20 yards from pay-dirt?
It's truly mind-boggling how difficult it's been for Cleveland to utilize one of the most talented wideouts in the NFL, or how quickly the team decides doing so is no longer worth its trouble. Mayfield and Kitchens were somehow able to make something out of certified bust Breshad Perriman last season, yet still can't figure out how to get the ball to the 2014 Rookie of the Year.
So, no, I'm not holding out much hope for Hunt's insertion into the Browns' offense this weekend. If Kitchens and Mayfield utilize him the same way they've worked with Beckham, we're probably going to forget he's even on the team.
Related TopicsBaker MayfieldCleveland BrownsfeaturedFreddie KitchensOdell Beckham Jr
I was happy with old reliable Higgins. Beckham brings baggage and drama. It's no surprise the Giants were happy to part ways with him. His effort is up and down. I truly don't think Beckham cares about anything other than himself, his watch, his shoes, his hair, etc. It was a bad signing.

Brazil managed to reduce leprosy cases by 30%, says WHO report
Other Portuguese-speaking countries such as Angola and Mozambique, observed a decrease of 75% in cases of disease

Research analyzed data on diseases between 2004 and 2011. Brazil fell 31% in cases of leprosy compared to 2010 results
The World Health Organization (WHO) highlights the decline of leprosy cases in Brazil and Africa, unlike what happened in other parts of the world. In Brazil, the fall was 31% compared to 2010 results. Other Portuguese-speaking countries such as Angola and Mozambique, fell by 75% in cases of the disease.
The data are in "Mantendo a Iniciativa para Superar o Impacto Global de Doenças Negligenciadas" report, published on Wednesday (16) in Geneva. The survey examined the period between 2004 and 2011.
The document cites 17 neglected tropical diseases among them leishmanioese, malaria, guinea worm, river blindness and Chagas disease, among others.
Another infection, considered by WHO as neglected is dengue.
The organization also said it is concerned about cases of human rabies transmitted by bats, especially in remote areas of the Amazon region, especially Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru.
<b> Plans </ b>
The document highlights Brazil's plans to eliminate trachoma, the leading cause of preventable blindness worldwide. The challenges cited in the report include the fight against Chagas disease, an infection that most affect the country.
The UN agency predicts, for example, that treatment only for schistosomiasis should reach 235 million people over the next five years.
<b> treatment for neglected diseases </ b>
Approximately 711 million people worldwide have been treated for at least one of the major neglected tropical diseases in 2010
The report highlights progress, unprecedented in the last two years showing that the world is closer to eliminating many diseases that affect the poorest.
According to WHO, the advance is due to a new global strategy that includes regular supply of assured quality, cost-effective medicines and support of global partners in the fight against neglected tropical diseases.

Javier Camarena was born in Veracruz (Mexico) and studied voice at the Guanajuato University. In 2004, he won the first prize at the Carlo Morelli Singing Competition in Mexico and the Juan Oncinas award at the Francisco Viñas Competition in Barcelona in 2005.
He made his debut in 2004 in Mexico at the Palacio de Bellas Artes singing Tonio in La Fille du Régiment. In Mexico, he subsequently performed Belmonte (Die Entführung aus dem Serail), Nemorino (L'Elisir d'amore), Ernesto (Don Pasquale) and Dorvil (La Scala di Seta).
Javier Camarena most recently became the talk of the opera world, when he joined the ranks of Luciano Pavarotti and Juan Diego Flórez to become the third singer in 70 years to perform an encore at the Metropolitan Opera House when he stopped the house during a performance of Rossini's La Cenerentola singing Ramiro's aria "Si ritrovarla io giuro". Later at Madrid's Teatro Real, he repeated the same historic feat, with the encore of "Ah! Mes amis quelle jour de fête, from Donizetti's "La fille du régiment". Camarena is the only tenor in the history of both opera houses to sing encores in two consecutive performances.
From early years in his career his ravishing voice earned him leading roles in the belcanto repertoire, under the batons of some of the most outstanding conductors such as Claudio Abbado or Zubin Metha, He has performed in some of Europe's and the United States' most prominent opera houses, concert halls and festivals as well as in Chile, Colombia and his native Mexico.

Why should you hire a lawyer for a speeding ticket? Why not just pay the fine and be done with it?
Points: The full cost of a speeding ticket goes beyond the fine. Points will be added to your MVC record, which affects your insurance as well. You may end up paying higher insurance rates for years to come. Our attorney will work to get the charges against you dismissed or reduced to the level where they will not increase your insurance rates.
CDL Drivers may face license suspension.
No-point tickets: Defendants who contest speeding tickets may be able to get a reduction of two points on their MVC record. In many cases, our attorney can get more. If you were charged with a four-point ticket for driving between 15 and 29 miles over the speed limit, you may be able to plead to a no-point ticket.
Beating the charge: We may be able to beat the case in Court by examining the evidence against you. Was the radar gun in proper working order? Did the officer follow proper procedures during the stop or when calibrating the device?
Options: It is important to keep your driving record as clean as possible, especially if you are prone to speeding or if you have teens in the household. The Court will be less likely to reduce or dismiss future charges if you have pled guilty to several speeding tickets.
Money: Fines, penalties and insurance surcharges for speeding tickets may quickly add up to more than our attorney's fees.
Convenience: In most cases, you will spend less time in Court if you have attorney. Our attorney can handle everything for you. In many cases out of State clients need not appear.
If you have received a speeding ticket or any other traffic violation, please contact Mark M. Cheser, Esquire, Counselor at Law, for a free consultation. We will explain your options and the costs and benefits of each. With more than 35 years of experience, Mark M. Cheser represents clients with traffic citations throughout Central New Jersey.

Q: if stament in shell script How write in if [ -z $str1 && -z $str2 ], "&&" doesn't work, if write [ -z $str1 ] this is work. I want to once two string
#!/bin/bash

echo "Enter first string"
read str1

echo "Enter second string"
read str2

if [ -z $str1 && -z $str2 ];
then
    echo "firs and second string length is zero"
else
    echo "firs and second string length is not zero"
fi

A: I am not the bash specialist on AU, but I have the feeling you mean:
#!/bin/bash

echo "Enter first string"
read str1

echo "Enter second string"
read str2

if [ -z "$str1" ] && [ -z "$str2" ]; then
    echo "first and second string length is zero"
else
    echo "first and second string length is not zero"
fi

So that the output is "first and second string length is zero" only if both lengths are zero, right?

A: You can use -a in place of &&. From man test
   EXPRESSION1 -a EXPRESSION2
          both EXPRESSION1 and EXPRESSION2 are true

The && form of logical AND operator is valid within bash's extended test construct [[ ... ]], but not inside tests of the form [ ... ].

Xinjiang spurs tourism revival after overcoming virus outbreak
Oct. 12, 2020 By:Chinadaily
The Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region, a major tourism destination in China, is giving the sector a boost after containing a recent spate of COVID-19 cases.
China Railway Urumqi Group will introduce six travel routes to destinations in the south, north and east of the region and plans to operate 26 chartered trains in the next four months.
The tour packages, ranging from four to 10 days, are designed for local tourists, said Huang Tingfen, deputy general manager of the Xinjiang Railway Tourism Development Group, but outside tourists are also part of the plan.
"We hope to see an increase in the number of tourists, especially during the National Day holiday in October," Huang said.
Xinjiang has taken a number of measures to accelerate the resumption of tourism and improve related services after bringing a series of COVID-19 cases under control.
The cases first emerged in mid-July, but no new cases were reported in Xinjiang in the 15 days leading up to Sept 1. As a result, the region's department of culture and tourism allowed all outdoor tourist spots in Xinjiang to open from Sept 2, along with the resumption of cross-provincial and cross-regional tourism.
All scenic spots have formulated emergency support plans and implemented online booking.
Many tourist spots have launched promotions such as cheaper tickets and food and beverage discounts to promote the rapid recovery of tourism. The department said 350 tourism activities will be launched across Xinjiang.
The first tour train set out on Sept 11 for the Kanas Nature Reserve in Altay prefecture, northern Xinjiang.
Huang said prices for the tour packages have been reduced by 30 percent.
"We want more tourists to reap the benefit of subsidized tourism policies offered by the regional culture and tourism department, different cities, prefectures and tourism sites," he said.
In November, tour trains will be planned to take people from Xinjiang to other provinces.
In addition, the authorities have promoted the recovery of transportation capacity to ensure smooth journeys for tourists. Flights departing from Xinjiang and city bus services have resumed full schedules.
Tourists can enter or leave Xinjiang without taking a nucleic acid test or undergoing quarantine, but they need to show their health codes and have their body temperatures checked, the department said.

The Armed Forces Health Surveillance Center recently studied how subgroups of service members with traumatic brain injury (TBI) experience various symptoms associated with the injury.
The service members were divided into three groups who experienced TBI ('TBI, severe', 'TBI, mild', and 'TBI, non-current injury') and two control groups. Each group was evaluated against 14 TBI-related symptoms -like PTSD, depressive and anxiety disorders, and migraine headaches - they may have experienced at three or twelve months after diagnosis of injury.
While service members with non-current injury TBI were likelier to be in the Army, in combat operations, and to deploy, all TBI groups exhibited a higher proportion of members experiencing TBI-related symptoms compared to the control groups. The participants of the study most frequently experienced headaches, alcohol and substance abuse, PTSD, and sleep disorders.

SEC Proposes To Expand the Definition of an Accredited Investor
December 27, 2019 December 27, 2019 Vandenack Weaver LLC Business Finance accredited investors, Securities and Exchange Commission
In an era where, according to the Wall Street Journal, an estimated $3.4 trillion dollars is sitting on the "sidelines", the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") is proposing to expand the number of individuals that can invest in non-public securities and other restricted investment vehicles. To do this, the SEC has proposed to expand the definition of an "accredited investor," opening the door for more money to funnel into these restricted offerings by expanding the number of individuals qualified to make such an investment.
Generally, the limits were implemented to protect those individuals not knowledgeable enough to invest in securities that are not subject to the disclosure rules of a public security. However, the definition of an accredited investor qualified to make such an investment hasn't been updated in a number of years, leaving it outdated. The proposed expansion of the definition will incorporate new categories of "natural persons" and "entities," as well as other investment related organizations. New categories of natural persons include professionals with certain designations, such as those licensed with their Series 7, 65, or 82. Similarly, those knowledgeable employees of private funds would qualify as an accredited investor. Other proposed new categories include certain limited liability companies, investment advisers, investment companies, and family offices.
The SEC proposed expanding of the definition of an accredited investor on December 18, 2019, and the proposal will be open for a 60 day comment period. The SEC is actively soliciting comments regarding every aspect of this rule change, including its overall economic impact. For many, this is a long awaited and desired change to the definition of accredited investor that could result in more capital moving off the "sidelines."

SEC Announces Priorities for 2016; Protecting the Retail Investor From Retirement Advisors
February 29, 2016 Vandenack Weaver LLC Benefits, Qualified Retirement Plans, Securities Department of Labor, DOL, Employee Retirement Income Security Act, ETF, exchange traded funds, OCIE, Office of Compliance Inspections and Examinations, ReTIRE, Retirement-Targeted Industry Reviews and Examinations, SEC, Securities and Exchange Commission, undisclosed public pension advisor gifts, variable annuities
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced their priorities for 2016 and examining retirement plan advisors remains a focal point. In June of 2015, the SEC, through their Office of Compliance Inspections and Examinations (OCIE), launched the Retirement-Targeted Industry Reviews and Examinations initiative (ReTIRE). Since that time, OCIE has conducted over 160 examinations of retirement advisors and brokers, with over 115 on the advisors. The purpose, generally, is to protect retail investors and their retirement accounts.
With a priority on protecting retail investors, OCIE is examining SEC registered advisors to ensure they are taking adequate steps to follow their fiduciary obligation towards their client's best interests. This often means the advisor's fee is scrutinized, with practices such as reverse churning being the target. Reverse churning, in sum, is a practice of advisors putting investors into accounts that pay a fixed fee to the advisor, but usually fail to perform in a manner to justify that fee. For 2016, the review is expanding and will now include the practice, disclosures, and sales strategies for exchange traded funds (ETF). Two other new priorities include examining the sale of variable annuities and undisclosed public pension advisor gifts and entertainment.
The effort by OCIE is not to be confused with the Department of Labor (DOL) examination on retirement advisors, which is running concurrently. The DOL examinations under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, however, is similarly focused on protecting the retail investor. Comments by those at the SEC and DOL suggest that the focus on protecting the retail investor through these investigations are likely to continue for some time.

Gulf Escalation Threatens Drinking Water
Najmedin Meshkati
Read more about Gulf Escalation Threatens Drinking Water
The Persian Gulf is one of the most populous and environmentally-sensitive regions in the world. Consequently, it is no surprise that Gulf states are increasingly dependent on desalination for their drinking water. But that dependence carries severe risks in a region as volatile as the Gulf has been, especially in light of recent tensions between the United States and Iran. Any accident or military conflict in the Gulf could cause massive spills of long-lasting contaminants such as crude oil or radioactive material into its waters, which could seriously threaten the lives and well-being of millions of people in the region.

Read more about How to Defuse Gulf Tensions and Avoid War with Iran
The Trump administration has spent over a year attempting to pressure Iran back to the negotiating table to get a "better deal" than the 2015 nuclear agreement known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). That strategy has failed. Iran has demonstrated that it is willing to risk war rather than endure the humiliation of negotiating "withsomebodywho hasaknife inhishand." And PresidentTrump has indicated he doesn't want to go to war in the Middle East.

If President Trump is to be believed, the United States just came within 10 minutes of launching war against Iran. Make no mistake, these would not have been pinprick strikes that Iran simply swallowed. They would have marked the beginning of a costly war that put tens of thousands of American service members in the Gulf, our regional partners and Israel directly at risk, while shocking the global economy by choking off shipping through the vital Strait of Hormuz.

Pissi Myles Talks About Attending The Impeachment & Breaking The Internet
December 18, 2019 December 14, 2019 by Michael Cook
From New Jersey to New York City to Philadelphia and back, Pissi Myles has been sprinkling her own brand of comedy all over the East Coast for years. It was not until she made her stunning appearance at the impeachment hearings that the entire nation started to take note of what many of us already know; Myles, much like the volume of her hair, is a force to be reckoned with. From the cover of the New York Post to appearances on almost every major news channel, the LGBT community saw one of their own offering representation, directly in the hallowed halls of the House of Representatives. As Myles took a breather from suddenly being the newest political pundit of the moment, I caught up with her to chat about how this opportunity came her way, what it was like finding herself on the cover of national newspapers, and what it's like being one of the newest political voices for the LGBT community.
Michael Cook: Pissi, you are suddenly the name on all of our nightlife and political lips! Tell me how it all feels to be getting this much attention?
Pissi Myles: It feels wonderful! I don't think any drag queen is one to turn down a little bit of national press attention, but I have to say it's a bit unexpected. It didn't occur to me until I was getting out of my uber at the Longworth Building just how important my presence there would be to people.
MC: So take me back, how did you end up invited to the impeachment hearings?
PM: Well Jack Bury, the political director of Happs (a start-up open-source, live broadcasting news app) saw my show "Pigs in a Blanket" at Barracuda the Sunday before the hearings, and he came up to me after the show to say that he liked me and thought I was funny. I said, "Thank you!" and he said, "I want to bring you down to Washington D.C. as a reporter for the impeachment hearings." I laughed! I thought he was kidding, but three days later I was walking into the congressional office buildings with a camera and an opportunity to make some noise.
MC: An important question; how does one choose what to wear to the impeachment hearings?
PM: Well in this case, it was very easy! Jack saw me wearing that red dress at Barracuda, and he was like, "Wear that!" so I did!
Were you surprised at the reaction? You were on the cover of the New York Post! Did you hear from anyone that truly shocked you?
I was absolutely gobsmacked. I really didn't expect that reaction from the media. As far as I was concerned, I was there to do my job. But of course, going anywhere in drag is a political statement, so I was glad to be given the opportunity to speak up for the disenfranchised. I was really glad to hear from a lot of people! RuPaul, for one, tweeted me, which was a bit surreal. I was also so, so touched to hear from Missi Pyle, my namesake! She has always been so kind and supportive, and when everything started to happen, she reached out with such kindness and encouragement. She is a really awesome person! Beyond that, I was really grateful to be featured on NPR. I mean, what a fucking thrill!
A post shared by Pissi Myles (@pissimyles)
MC: From The Adam Sank Show to The X Change Rate, you appeared all over discussing the event. What was it like being courted to appear and express your own political views?
PM: It felt right, if I'm being honest. I'm a very political person, and I'm glad to be able to share that with people. I'm also a funny person, so it was nice to be able to make some jokes and have people hear them on a wider scale. What has been the reaction from people at your shows? Nightlife and politics tends to not mix at times… Everyone has been so excited for me! I've gotten countless messages from people who were touched or inspired by my presence in the capital. The next day I had my show at Pieces in NYC, one of my favorite shows to do, and such a wonderful crowd showed up and laughed and listened to me. It was such a gratifying experience to be able to be the clown I always am, but then to get to sing "Over the Rainbow" and share why that song is a gay anthem, how it is political for the queer community and how it is about being visible and striving toward greatness. It was a humbling and wonderful experience.
MC: What was it like being in those hallowed chambers? Did you happen to see Mitch McConnell or Ted Cruz slither past? If so and you had a chance to speak with one of them, what would you say?
PM: If I had the "chance" to meet Mitch McConnell, I'd probably ask him if the skin on his neck was so stretched out from trying to push his head up his own ass. He is a selfish man with no respect for this country or his constituents, and he deserves to lose his place in the Senate. His partisan antics are offensive and should offend people on both sides of the aisle.
MC:You also got the opportunity to speak with several of the candidates about their issues and what their particular platforms are? What did you get the most out of those interactions? Anyone surprise you?
PM: Well, sort of. I got to chat with a few of the Democratic Presidential hopefulls at the Democratic debate in Atlanta, which I was covering for Happs. I got to chat with a couple of the candidates about Trans rights, since it was the Trans Day of Remembrance. While they all spoke very eloquently about the need to protect Trans people from violence moving forward, I would have loved to have heard some specific steps they might have planned on taking moving forward, but it was nice to know that the candidates I spoke to supported Trans rights and had a mindset to support measures taken to protect our Trans family in the future, a stark contrast to what we're seeing in the current administration.
MC: Tell me; can we expect to see you at more of these events? Pissi Myles goes to the Iowa Caucus maybe? Pissi hosts the next Democratic debate?
PM: You certainly can! I've already been talking to the folks at Happs about future opportunities to report with them… even possibly in Iowa! If there's an opportunity to effect change, or a venue with an ice cream bar, you can expect to see Pissi Myles!
MC: What do you want to see for our political future as a country?
PM: Frankly, I want to see progressive policy put into action with regard to climate change and gun control. I want to see these "Religious Freedom" bills, which amount to nothing more than legalizing discrimination, crushed before they have a chance to do any real harm. I want to see healthcare reform that prevents private institutions from taking advantage of sick people to make money at their expense. Most importantly, I think it's time we replace Columbus Day with Pissi Myles Day- I'm much more supportive of indigenous people and the preservation of their land and heritage, and I am also known to wear a beautiful headdress!

What Pregnant Women Should Know about Zika Virus
By Sherry Baker @SherryNewsViews
More evidence links Zika virus infection to severe birth defects: Get the facts on protection and testing.
As the Zika epidemic continues to spread, especially in South and Central America, more than a million people are believed to have been infected with the virus. And in areas with large Zika outbreaks, an increasing number of babies have been born with microcephaly, a birth defect marked by a smaller than normal head and brain and, often, severe disabilities.

Now researchers have another reason to think mosquito-borne Zika is indeed the "smoking gun" in many instances of microcephaly. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has identified the Zika virus in the brain tissue of two babies with microcephaly who died. Both of the infants' mothers were infected with the virus in Brazil.
"This is the strongest evidence to date that Zika is the cause of microcephaly," CDC Director Tom Frieden, MD, recently told members of the U.S. House Foreign Affairs Joint Subcommittee Hearing on the global Zika epidemic.
Researchers are investigating whether the virus may cause additional birth defects. For example, new study of children with Zika-associated microcephaly found the majority had serious, vision endangering eye problems.
Although the Zika virus is primarily spread through mosquito bites, the disease is known to be sexually transmittable, too. And it now appears the virus could be contagious through sexual contact for a longer period of time than first thought.
Based on this new information, the CDC has issued revised guidelines for women who are pregnant or could become pregnant.
The CDC now recommends that pregnant women who have traveled to areas where the Zika virus is known to be transmitted be offering testing for Zika infection, whether or not they have any symptoms of the virus. Blood tests for Zika can be offered two to 12 weeks after pregnant women return from trips to areas where they could have been exposed to the virus.

If a pregnant woman does have signs of illness consistent with Zika infection — such as body aches, fever, red eyes, and fatigue — she should be tested for the virus during the first week she feels unwell.
In addition, women who live in areas where there are ongoing Zika cases and who become pregnant should be tested as soon as they begin their prenatal care, and tested again during the middle of the second trimester of pregnancy, whether or not they have any symptoms.
There are currently no vaccines or drugs that prevent or cure Zika infections. However, scientists have stepped up research to develop a vaccine as quickly as possible, and public health measures are being enacted internationally to slow down and eventually stop the spread of the virus.
In the meantime, you can take many common sense measures to help prevent infection with Zika and lower the odds your unborn baby will suffer from Zika-associated birth defects.
First and foremost, if you are pregnant, the CDC urges postponing travel to South America, Central America, and Caribbean countries such as Puerto Rico, where the virus is spreading rapidly. Women who are living in those parts of the world should take precautions to protect themselves from mosquitoes, which are the main way the disease is transmitted.
And based on evidence Zika can be transmitted through semen, CDC experts emphasize the importance of safe sex. "Given the potential for Zika virus to be spread through sex, if male partners have or are at risk for Zika virus infection, pregnant women and their male partners should consider abstaining from sexual intercourse or using condoms," said the CDC's Frieden.
Although the Zika epidemic has not spread to the U.S., it makes sense to prepare for that possibility sooner than later.
Zika is primarily transmitted by mosquitoes in the Aedes aegypti species which are found throughout much of the Americas, including the southern U.S. These mosquitoes bite mostly during daylight hours so, as warm weather approaches, it's important to protect yourself from mosquito bites throughout the day —especially if you are pregnant or could become pregnant. Wear long-sleeved shirts, pants, and EPA-approved insect repellants.
