By Sun Tzu
Genre: Military & Warfare
The Art of War is an ancient Chinese military treatise attributed to Sun Tzu, the high-ranking military general, strategist and tactician. The text is composed of 13 chapters, each of Which is devoted to one aspect of warfare. Written in the 6th century B.C., remains the ultimate guide to combat strategy. Sun Tzu explains when and how to engage opponents in order to prevail in difficult situations. Instead of describing the logistics of warfare, he shows the reader how to succeed by motivating soldiers and leveraging tactical advantages. In short, he explains how to win the battle of wits. Though it was written for the battlefield, The Art of War contains valuable advice for other endeavors as well. Tzu's work has been lauded by sports coaches, business executives, and other leaders of the 21st century. This edition contains the translation of Lionel Giles, widely considered the most faithful and authoritative translation. Dalton Fury, New York Times bestselling author of Tier One Wild and Kill Bin Laden, says this: "Dean Garner's version of The Art of War confirms for us that for the past 2,000 years the fundamental principles of special operations in battle have not only remained true, but they apply equally to today's boardrooms and bedrooms. When on the hunt or holding ground, success can only be had by the precise application of disguise, deception and diversion, and a genuine appreciation for angles, inches, and seconds. Ranger Garner masterfully shows us how."

God bless this airline captain
This was forwarded to me by a friend who is a Marine veteran. Get a tissue.
An airline captain writes: My lead flight attendant came to me and said, "We have an H.R. on this flight." (H.R. stands for human remains.)
"Are they military?" I asked.
"Yes," she said.
"Is there an escort?" I asked.
"Yes, I already assigned him a seat."
"Would you please tell him to come to the flight deck? You can board him early," I said..
A short while later, a young army sergeant entered the flight deck. He was the image of the perfectly dressed soldier. He introduced himself and I asked him about his soldier. The escorts of these fallen soldiers talk about them as if they are still alive and still with us.
"My soldier is on his way back to Virginia," he said. He proceeded to answer my questions, but offered no words.
I asked him if there was anything I could do for him and he said no. I told him that he had the toughest job in the military and that I appreciated the work that he does for the families of our fallen soldiers. The first officer and I got up out of our seats to shake his hand. He left the flight deck to find his seat.
We completed our preflight checks, pushed back and performed an uneventful departure. About 30 minutes into our flight I received a call from the lead flight attendant in the cabin. "I just found out the family of the soldier we are carrying, is on board," she said. She then proceeded to tell me that the father, mother, wife and two-year old daughter were escorting their son, husband, and father home. The family was upset because they were unable to see the container that the soldier was in before we left. We were on our way to a major hub at which the family was going to wait four hours for the connecting flight home to Virginia.
The father of the soldier told the flight attendant that knowing his son was below him in the cargo compartment and being unable to see him was too much for him and the family to bear. He had asked the flight attendant if there was anything that could be done to allow them to see him upon our arrival. The family wanted to be outside by the cargo door to watch the soldier being taken off the airplane. I could hear the desperation in the flight attendants voice when she asked me if there was anything I could do. "I'm on it," I said. I told her that I would get back to her.
Airborne communication with my company normally occurs in the form of e-mail like messages. I decided to bypass this system and contact my flight dispatcher directly on a secondary radio. There is a radio operator in the operations control center who connects you to the telephone of the dispatcher. I was in direct contact with the dispatcher. I explained the situation I had on board with the family and what it was the family wanted. He said he understood and that he would get back to me.
Two hours went by and I had not heard from the dispatcher. We were going to get busy soon and I needed to know what to tell the family. I sent a text message asking for an update. I saved
the return message from the dispatcher and the following is the text: "Captain, sorry it has taken so long to get back to you. There is policy on this now and I had to check on a few things. Upon your arrival a dedicated escort team will meet the aircraft. The team will escort the family to the ramp and plane side. A van will be used to load the remains with a secondary van for the family. The family will be taken to their departure area and escorted into the terminal where the remains can be seen on the ramp. It is a private area for the family only. When the connecting aircraft arrives, the family will be escorted onto the ramp and plane side to watch the remains being loaded for the final leg home. Captain, most of us here in flight control are veterans. Please pass our condolences on to the family. Thanks."
I sent a message back telling flight control thanks for a good job. I printed out the message and gave it to the lead flight attendant to pass on to the father. The lead flight attendant was very thankful and told me, "You have no idea how much this will mean to them."
Things started getting busy for the descent, approach and landing. After landing, we cleared the runway and taxied to the ramp area. The ramp is huge with 15 gates on either side of the alleyway. It is always a busy area with aircraft maneuvering every which way to enter and exit. When we entered the ramp and checked in with the ramp controller, we were told that all traffic was being held for us.
'There is a team in place to meet the aircraft," we were told. It looked like it was all coming together, then I realized that once we turned the seat belt sign off, everyone would stand up at once and delay the family from getting off the airplane. As we approached our gate, I asked the copilot to tell the ramp controller we were going to stop short of the gate to make an announcement to the passengers. He did that and the ramp controller said, "Take your time."
I stopped the aircraft and set the parking brake. I pushed the public address button and said, "Ladies and gentleman, this is your Captain speaking I have stopped short of our gate to make a special announcement. We have a passenger on board who deserves our honor and respect. His name is Private XXXXXX, a soldier who recently lost his life. Private XXXXXX is under your feet in the cargo hold. Escorting him today is Army Sergeant XXXXXXX. Also, on board are his father, mother, wife, and daughter. Your entire flight crew is asking for all passengers to remain in their seats to allow the family to exit the aircraft first. Thank you."
We continued the turn to the gate, came to a stop and started our shutdown procedures. A couple of minutes later I opened the cockpit door. I found the two forward flight attendants crying, something you just do not see. I was told that after we came to a stop, every passenger on the aircraft stayed in their seats, waiting for the family to exit the aircraft.
When the family got up and gathered their things, a passenger slowly started to clap his hands. Moments later more passengers joined in and soon the entire aircraft was clapping. Words of God Bless You, I'm sorry, thank you, be proud, and other kind words were uttered to the family as they made their way down the aisle and out of the airplane. They were escorted down to the ramp to finally be with their loved one.
Many of the passengers disembarking thanked me for the announcement I had made. They were just words, I told them, I could say them over and over again, but nothing I say will bring back that brave soldier.
I respectfully ask that all of you reflect on this event and the sacrifices that millions of our men and women have made to ensure our freedom and safety in these United States of America.
Foot note: As a Viet Nam Veteran I can only think of all the veterans including the ones that rode below the deck on their way home and how they were treated. When I read things like this I am proud that our country has not turned their backs on our soldiers returning from the various war zones today and give them the respect they so deserve.
I know every one who has served their country who reads this will have tears in their eyes, including me.
Prayer for our soldiers:
Lord, hold our troops in your loving hands. Protect them as they protect us. Bless them and their families for the selfless acts they perform for us in our time of need. Amen.
Labels: soldiers, veterans
Patrice, I have seen this story around the net and through e-mail traffic over the past several years. It is a great story and never fails to bring me to tears. As a long serving member (27.5 years) of the Armed Services (USAF on an Army post) it always breaks my heart to know that young men and women occasionally have to die to water the tree of liberty. But I am also proud to serve our nation when people like the captain and his crew make it a point to help the service members and/or their families. I have never regretted deciding all those years ago to become a member of that small group of folks who have decided that protecting this nation was important. Additionally, all my heartfelt thanks to all of those who have volunteered to serve since 9/11 when it was clear to almost all this nation was about to go to war and continues to be at war with those who wish to do us harm.
I am part of a group who goes to meet every plane carrying these soldiers that lands at our public airport. Rain or shine, day or night, we try to have as many people as we can gather to meet that soldier. Many of them do not have family here and will be joining a connecting flight on to home. Even if it's just an hour's layover, we are there.
Every "I'm so sorry" said to a mother or father, or wife of a vibrant, healthy, handsome young man who is now no more seems so trite to us. Our condolence phrase to family is always "Thank you for what you have given us." For they have paid what so many of us fear to pay- The Price of Freedom.
my husband served in vietnam twice and retired after 26.6 years with the united states marine corps. since his retirement he volunteers much of his time with the vietnam vets of america, and the marine corps league. he plays taps for anyone in n.e. mississippi who needs it... there is something about even one hitch in the service..it sticks with you. one thing i remind people about every chance i get...korean war and vietnam vets are getting old and anything you can do for them is greatly appreciated even if it is just a handshake and thankyou. and to please, please please remember the women who have served and are serving in the military. the women always seem to get lost in the shuffle. caryn in n.e.mississippi

If you work out of your home, you know how important it is to have a home office that is set up in a way to promote productivity. You've likely taken the time to make sure your desk is just right, that you have enough illumination, and that you have all the supplies you need to get your work done efficiently, but what about your window treatments? Here at Quickfit Blinds & Curtains, we offer incredible treatments at the best prices, and we would love to be your go-to source for all your window covering needs. From low-maintenance blinds to stylish decorator curtains, we have it all! Today, we'll review five types of window treatments that work great in home offices — let's get started.
Your home office is for one thing, and one thing only: your job. The last thing you want to worry about is having a window treatment that is difficult or time-consuming to clean and maintain. Curtains are always a beautiful window treatment, but it can be cumbersome to take them down, clean them, and hang them back up. All of the roller blinds sold in our online blind and curtain store require little care or maintenance. Cleaning these low-maintenance blinds is easy — simply wipe them with a soft, damp cloth and a mild detergent. No need to worry about dusting individual slats or taking the treatment down so that it can be dry cleaned.
Lighting is one of the most important components of your home office, and multiple studies have concluded that individuals who work in a workplace with good light exposure are more productive than those who lack adequate amounts of natural light. That being said, you don't want to be distracted by blinding sunlight streaming through your windows, either, and sheer curtains offer a viable window treatment solution. Not only do they do a great job letting natural light into a space, but they also offer the right level of light filtration and privacy, making them a smart choice for many rooms in your home.
When we think of a home office, we often think of the classic set up with a desk, a chair or two for visitors, filing cabinets, and other commonplace office furniture. However, not everyone who works from home works a desk job. For example, a photographer or massage therapists also work out of their homes, and they require quite a different set-up, especially when it comes to lighting and privacy. Nothing provides both of these conditions better than blockout curtains. Additionally, blockout curtains offer incredible thermal qualities thanks to their unique multi-layer construction, enabling you to keep your office cool in the summer and warm in the winter.
Some individuals who have a home office often have clients that come to their home for appointments. For example, consider financial planners and counsellors. It is important that their home offices have a professional, if not formal, feel to them. Pencil pleat and pinch pleat curtains strike the right balance between form and function for these types of home offices, as they add an element of classic elegance to a space that you would expect to find in a professional office. These stunning curtains come in a wide variety of styles, including blockout and sheer panels, allowing you to customise your window treatment to suit your tastes.
If you like the idea of having low-maintenance blinds in your home office, but you feel like your windows need a little bit more coverage, why not opt for a layered window treatment? These one-of-a-kind treatments truly allow you to customise your window covering unlike any other treatment can, and creating a DIY layered window treatment is easy. First, select a set of neutral, low-maintenance blinds as your "base" layer. This base layer will provide much of the light filtration and privacy for the room. Then choose one or more types of curtain panels as your second layer. These can be closed to further enhance privacy and darkness when needed.
You do a lot of work in your home office. Why not make it work just as hard for you? The right window treatment ensures your space maintains a comfortable temperature while providing you with all of the privacy and natural light that you desire. The team at Quickfit Blinds & Curtains is here to help you outfit your windows in functional style, and we are happy to provide you with measurement and installation tips to make hanging your new treatments a breeze. What's more, we'll gladly send you free swatches to help you decide which fabrics and colours work best in your home office.

The county-wide sweep also uncovered one rough sleeper in Warrington and two in Macclesfield.
The cost of housing a rough sleeper in a hostel can be pounds 40,000 a year.
Liverpool: Labre House In Liverpool, contact the team at the city council's dedicated rough sleeper facility, Labre House.
Crisis is also proud to announce a new partnership with Changing Lives, whose rough sleeper drop-in services will provide a new pathway for rough sleepers in the city to access Crisis Skylight services.
It costs the charity a little over PS2,000 per year to intensively support one rough sleeper, with 83p in every PS1 of the charity's income spent on its charitable activity, directly going towards supporting its service users.
Nuneaton and Bedworth had just one rough sleeper last year, down from six in 2014 and two in 2013.
Paul had been looking after a friend who was a rough sleeper.
He said the council's rough sleeper outreach team ensures people are made aware of the offer, and other temporary shelter is available all-year-round, including 73 beds in supported accommodation.
However, our data refers to the number of people who engage with our own Rough Sleepers' Intervention Teams, rather than the local authority's figures which represent data captured across all rough sleeper services.
Rough sleeper Ronny Currie has been homeless in Cardiff for the last 15 years after developing drug problems.
A SUSPECTED rough sleeper has been found with a serious head injury in a Newcastle city centre subway.
The city council and homeless charity, the Whitechapel Centre, recently opened its new rough sleeper shelter and support centre - Labre House, in Camden Street - which offers a safe, warm space for any homeless person to stay every night of the week.

Q: Add total to group I have a Order Details table.
What I want to do is create 1 query to show
OrderNumber | SKU | QTY | Price | Line Total |
1            SKU1    1    10.00        10.00
1            ----    0     0.00        10.00
2            SKU1    2    10.00        20.00
2            SKU2    3     1.50         4.50
2            ----    0     0.00        24.50

I mean I need to add another line for each
order with total amount for export to text file.
I have SQL Server 2005
Thank you.

A: The extra column is easy, just create another output column in the sql that is defined as the product of the two exsting attributes
  Select OrderNumber, SKU, QTY, Price, Qty * Price as  LineTotal
  From Table ...

The second part, adding a subtotal row, can be done with a keyword Rollup or by unioning with an aggregate query
  Select OrderNumber, SKU, QTY, Price,
         Qty * Price as  LineTotal
  From Table
  Union
  Select OrderNumber, null SKU, null Qty, null Price,
         Sum( Qty * Price ) as LineTotal
  From Table
  Group By OrderNumber
  Order By OrderNumber, Case When SKU Is Null then 1 Else 0 End

A: I'm not sure if doing all that in a single SQL is a good idea, but you could try with a union:
SELECT *
FROM (
  SELECT ordernumber, sku, qty, price, qty*price line_total
  FROM order_details
  UNION
  SELECT ordernumber, '---' sku, 0 qty, 0 price, SUM(qty*price)
  FROM order_details
  GROUP BY ordernumber
)
ORDER BY ordernumber, sku

Have not tried this though.

The legendary Keith Sweat is back with new music for summer '16.
Dropping an album on his 55th birthday—July 22—Keith is bringing back the classic sound fans have come to know and love. Called Dress to Impress, the album has already given way to a single currently atop the R&B charts ("Good Love") and Sweat is set to take the album on tour.
As one who considers himself an "OG" in the R&B music world, Keith has had his eye on the new wave of artists and musicians: he's a big fan of artists like Chris Brown and Ne-Yo.
We spoke to Keith about the current state of R&B and what fans can expect from his latest release.
I think there are some things on there fans can expect from me, but also some records they wouldn't expect, either. When you have an album, I think you should have a variety of songs and sounds. For the most part, it's my classic sound fans have come to know, but there's fresh material on there as well.
What influences your classic sound?
I've always been involved in my music as far as writing and producing goes. I'm very hands on. My music is an extension of who I am and what I am. I definitely involve myself as much as possible in terms of defining the character and sound of the album. I think some artists let others write and create their album, and you can tell they're not saying what they really have to say. When you hear it, you can rest assured that it's me telling my story.
Who are some 'new age' R&B artists whose music you're feeling?
I love Chris Brown, Ne-Yo, Trey Songz and Luke James, to name a few. I love the things that they're doing with their music and creating their own sound. I think I'm one of the people that opened the doors for artists like them and to see them reference me in some of their songs makes me feel good. I also admire their talent and artistry so it's amazing to see how they're growing. It's an awesome thing to see young artists like them inspired by me and others who came before them and those who came before me, and how they're making their own mark.
If anything, what do you feel R&B is missing?
I used to think there was a lot missing, but now I think it's getting back to its core. People are starting to come back full circle to what real R&B is. I think young artists, for a certain period, were branching out and going far away from what R&B was, but I think that it's coming back. Tyrese, Anthony Hamilton and others like myself revived the genre and the young artists are starting to bring it. Young artists like to experiment, which is great. But I can tell real R&B was missed and they're starting to come back.
What do you most look forward to about touring?
I like the connection with the fans and also being in front of the audience. I think that connection is so important. Seeing how something I've written affects people and the joy it can bring to them brings joy to me. It's different than being in the studio creating because you can see how people respond to what you create. Music is something that touches everybody and with so many performers now, I can see how I've affected other people's lives. It's amazing when I get to see people really feel my music. It's a whole different thing musically to perform in front of an audience.
What they should look out for from you in the coming months?
People have really responded to the first single, so they can expect the rest of the album to be just as sultry. There's amazing songs on there. I think people will be pleasantly surprised. Like I said, my classic sound is there but I do have some material on there that's a little different. As far as shows and things, I just take it one step at a time. I respond based on how my fans respond to me. It's a journey we take together.

Q: Angular directive is not compiling after ng-click The below code is not working after I click on the button. It seems the directive is not compiled again. Can anyone help me out with this !
HTML :
  <button ng-click="run()">click</button>

Hello {{name}}!

  <customdir filterby="name"></customdir>

The similar code can be found here http://plnkr.co/edit/OQqLeUIoFNhkqSoeIdyM?p=preview.
Javascript :
var app = angular.module('plunker', []);

app.controller('MainCtrl', function($scope) {

$scope.name = 'World';

$scope.run = function() {
$scope.name = 'goal';
};

});
app.directive('customdir', function($compile) {
var getTemplate = function(filterby) {
switch (filterby) {
  case 'World':
    return '
' +
      '' +
      '
';
  case 'goal':
    return 'tttttt !!';
  default:
    return 'Error !!';
 }
}
return {
restrict: 'E',
scope: {
  filterby: '='
},
 link: function(scope, element, attrs) {
   var el = $compile(getTemplate(scope.filterby))(scope);
   element.replaceWith(el);
  }
 };
});

A: change the sequence of when you compile vs place it in dom, read more about it here
var el =angular.element('your html');
element.replaceWith(el);
$compile(el)(scope);

A: You have to use scope.$watch('filterby', function(newValue, oldValue) { }) to handle this on the model change.
Working copy:

var app = angular.module('plunker', []);

app.controller('MainCtrl', function($scope) {
  $scope.name = 'World';

$scope.run = function() {
$scope.name = 'goal';
};

});

app.directive('customdir', function($compile) {
var getTemplate = function(filterby) {
switch (filterby) {
  case 'World':
    return '

Right-to-work bill pre-filed in Missouri Legislature; House Democratic Leader blasts proposal
Two key Missouri lawmakers have differing views on the impact that a right-to-work law would have in Missouri.
State Representative Holly Rehder (photo courtesy; Tim Bommel, Missouri House Communications)
House Minority Leader Gail McCann Beatty (D-Kansas City) says if Missouri becomes a right-to-work state, it would mark a "massive shift" in the balance of power between employers and employees and would suppress wages. Beatty says any right-to-work measure that passes should be placed on the statewide ballot.
Right-to-work says that a person cannot be required to join or refrain from joining a labor organization, as a condition of employment.
State Rep. Holly Rehder (R-Sikeston) tells Missourinet both union and non-union jobs would increase if her right-to-work legislation passes. She pre-filed House Bill 91 on Thursday.
"Indiana alone increased jobs, over 50,000 union jobs, good-paying union jobs they increased within two years of passing this bill. And so, what we have found is that the states that pass right-to-work, you have an influx of jobs," says Rehder.
Rehder, who chairs the Missouri House Select Committee on Labor and Industrial Relations, is urging union members to study the issue closely.
"Search outside of the talking points that they're being given by their union steward. They need to look into these other states that have passed right-to-work," Rehder says. "26 other states have passed it already."
Rehder is hopeful the measure will pass in 2017. Governor-Elect Eric Greitens (R) supports right-to-work, and Republicans have supermajorities in both chambers.
House Minority Leader Beatty has issued a statement, which reads in part "Missouri voters – not politicians and their special interest donors – must have the final say on this matter."
While 60 percent of Missourians voted against right-to-work in 1978, Rehder says things are different now. Rehder says union membership was about 30 percent in 1978, and says it's less than eight percent today.

for House Plan– Maybe you're a clear nester, maybe you are downsizing, or possibly you just love to feel snug as a insect in your house. In any case, we've got a couple of small house programs that load up a great deal of smartly-designed features, beautiful and varied facades, and small cottage appeal.
Apart from the innate adorability of things in miniature generally, these small house strategies offer big liveable space, even for small house living. We love the Sugarberry Cottage, that looks like Goldilocks should be checking out in, but has three sleeping rooms and bathing rooms and a porch that stretches the living area of the small house significantly. Prefer a far more rustic look? The Cypress View plan is so flexible, it nestles easily in by the lake, in the mountains, or near the beach-a great, flexible small cottage home. Whatever your choice, have a look at some of our best plans for small house living.
Cottages are warm, quaint, and inviting. Our cottage house strategies include designs with bungalow and Craftsman characteristics, typically on the smaller area and with one or 1.5 stories, although there's also some larger plans that match this category. The primary interest for cottages is that they try to provide cozy places with inviting hearths and fantastic kitchens, twisted up in exteriors with ornate gabled roofs and comfortable porches for easygoing outdoor living. Most of these designs are packed with natural detailing like shingles and natural stone accents that remind of simpler times and develop a peaceful ambiance.
The Cottage style house plan is associated with "cozy" but will not skimp on living space. These smaller homes provide a "lived-in" ambience, building a comfort level that may be lacking in larger, less-personalized homes. Cottage house programs do not adhere to any specific architectural style, but my exhibit the influence of Country, Craftsman, Victorian, and European country design. The common denominators of all Cottage house ideas are a moderate footprint and an informal feel.

Trump blames Obama, not Putin, for Russia seizing Crimea
Yahoo News 26 August 2019
President Trump blamed the last U.S. president for Russia's illegal annexation of Crimea in 2014, praising President Vladimir Putin for outsmarting President Obama and saying he thought Russia should be welcomed back into the annual meeting of the leaders of the world's largest economic powers.
Speaking in France at the G-7 conference, Trump repeatedly expressed his disagreement with the decision to suspend Russia's membership in what was then called the G-8 over its seizure of the crucial peninsula of Crimea from the Ukraine. He claimed that Obama was "embarrassed" and "outsmarted by Putin."
"Would I invite [Putin]? I would certainly invite him," Trump said, in answer to a question about next year's meeting, which will be hosted by the U.S. But he expressed concern that the Russian president's feelings were hurt by the earlier expulsion. "Whether or not he could come psychologically, I think that's a tough thing for him to do."
The Guardian reported Sunday that Trump's suggestion that Russia be readmitted to the G-7 was not supported by the other world leaders in attendance.
"It was sort of taken away from President Obama, not taken away from President Trump," the president explained. "President Obama was not happy that this happened and it was embarrassing to him, right? It was very embarrassing to him, and he wanted Russia to be out of what was called the G-8. That was his determination. He was outsmarted by Putin. President Putin outsmarted President Obama. I can understand how President Obama would feel, he wasn't happy."
Trump had previously sided with Putin against U.S. intelligence agencies at a 2018 meeting in Helsinki. He didn't answer a question Monday about possible Russian meddling in the next presidential election.

A reporter pressed Trump on his assertion that Obama was behind Russia's departure from the G-8. Its annexation of Crimea in violation of international law resulted in sanctions by both the United States and the European Union, and a condemnation from NATO, which said in a statement, "We strongly condemn this act, which we do not and will not recognize." On the fifth anniversary of Russia's takeover in March, EU foreign policy head Federica Mogherini said, "We stand in full solidarity with Ukraine, supporting its sovereignty and territorial integrity."
"It was annexed during President Obama's term. If it was annexed during my term, I would say, 'Sorry, folks, I made a mistake' or 'Sorry, folks,'" said Trump, adding, "President Obama was pure and simply outsmarted. They took Crimea during his term. That was not a good thing. It could have been stopped. It could have been stopped with the right… whatever. It could have been stopped, but President Obama was unable to stop it and it's too bad."
Trump did not complete his thought about how Russia could have been stopped from the land grab.
Crimea is a roughly 10,000-square-mile peninsula across the Black Sea from Russia that was transferred to the Ukraine in 1954. When the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, the land was part of an independent Ukraine. Russian troops entered the area in February 2014, and the other G-8 members agreed a month later to suspend Russia's membership while canceling a planned summit in Sochi, Russia.
As a candidate in 2016, Trump said he was open to recognizing Russia's claims to Crimea. "I'm going to take a look at it," Trump said. "But you know, the people of Crimea, from what I've heard, would rather be with Russia than where they were. And you have to look at that also."
The president said he didn't care if inviting Russia to an international summit on U.S. soil would hurt him politically.
"I ran one election and I won, happened to be for president," said Trump. "I don't care politically. I'm going to run another election, I think I'm winning based on polls that we see. Whether I win or not, I have to do the right thing. I don't do things for political reasons. Is it good? Probably not. Maybe it is, a lot of people are smart."
Trump also criticized Obama for not striking Syria when the country crossed his established "red line" and used chemical weapons.

`MMSpreadsheetView` is a configurable spreadsheet-like view. Depending on the initial header row or column configuration, up to four collection views will be coordinated to provide the user interface. Although originally designed for use on iPad in full-screen, it scales down well for use in smaller views.

##Documentation
Official appledoc documentation can be found at [CocoaDocs](http://cocoadocs.org/docsets/MMSpreadsheetView/).

##Installing MMSpreadsheetView
[![Badge w/ Version](https://cocoapod-badges.herokuapp.com/v/MMSpreadsheetView/badge.png)](https://cocoadocs.org/docsets/MMSpreadsheetView)
[![Badge w/ Platform](https://cocoapod-badges.herokuapp.com/p/MMSpreadsheetView/badge.svg)](https://cocoadocs.org/docsets/MMSpreadsheetView)
You can install MMSpreadsheetView in your project by using [CocoaPods](https://github.com/cocoapods/cocoapods):

```Ruby
pod 'MMSpreadsheetView', '~> 0.0.3'
```

---

##Initializing a Spreadsheet View
The designated initializer for `MMSpreadsheetView` requires passing in the number of header rows and columns as well as the initial bounds rect. Register the cell classes you will be using and set the delegate and dataSource. Finally, add the view as a subview.

```Objective-C
// Create the spreadsheet in code.
MMSpreadsheetView *spreadSheetView = [[MMSpreadsheetView alloc] initWithNumberOfHeaderRows:1 numberOfHeaderColumns:1 frame:self.view.bounds];

// Register your cell classes.
[spreadSheetView registerCellClass:[MMGridCell class] forCellWithReuseIdentifier:@"GridCell"];
[spreadSheetView registerCellClass:[MMTopRowCell class] forCellWithReuseIdentifier:@"TopRowCell"];
[spreadSheetView registerCellClass:[MMLeftColumnCell class] forCellWithReuseIdentifier:@"LeftColumnCell"];

// Set the delegate & datasource spreadsheet view.
spreadSheetView.delegate = self;
spreadSheetView.dataSource = self;

// Add the spreadsheet view as a subview.
[self.view addSubview:spreadSheetView];
self.spreadSheetView = spreadSheetView;
```

---

##Caveats

Performance: As the number of cells shown increases, scrolling performance declines. A large grid (1000x1000) takes a long time to initialize, but if the cell sizes are large enough (150x150) or greater, scrolling performance is not affected. However, a small grid (50x50) of (20x20) cells basically doesn't scroll.

NSIndexPath convenience category: The library includes a convenience category for NSIndexPath to reduce confusion. The additions of indexPath.mmSpreadsheetRow and indexPath.mmSpreadsheetColumn represent their respective elements.

CollectionView pass-through methods: The following methods provide support for copy/paste actions on cells. All three should be implemented if any are.

spreadsheetView:shouldShowMenuForItemAtIndexPath:

spreadsheetView:canPerformAction:forItemAtIndexPath:withSender:

spreadsheetView:performAction:forItemAtIndexPath:withSender:

Unintended gesture handling: MMSpreadsheetView hooks into the collection view pan gesture recognizers to implement "exclusive touch," which disables tap registration on other sections of the grid until the first touch ends. Also, touches are disabled when the view is in a bounce to prevent locking the view in an awkward state.

Kent and Cathy Murahashi
Service Area: Harvest America
Ministry Focus
Kent was appointed by Missions Door in May 2012 as a Catalytic Overseer for their Church Birthing Matrix, a two-year comprehensive training program for lay leaders who aspire to become church planters or members of a church-planting team.
Using current internet technology, this program will connect instructors from various points in the country with live local trainers who are culturally and linguistically specific to the needs of the trainees.
The aim is to provide a balanced grounding of biblical and practical training in preparing and establishing equipped church leaders for the great harvest of souls.
In 30 years of pastoral ministry God has taken the Murahashi family to pastoral assignments in Bellevue, Washington, Portland, Oregon, Honolulu, Hawaii, Seattle, Washington and Tukwila, Washington.
While serving in Honolulu, Kent also served one year as Assistant Professor of Music and Christian Education at International College and Graduate School of Theology.
Moved by the challenge from God to become a true minister of racial reconciliation, Kent and Cathy became church planters with Conservative Baptists of the Northwest in 1999, where they were mentored and coached by then mother church pastor, and now Harvest America Ministry Director, Harry Olsen. They planted Grace Point Community Church in Tukwila, Washington in 2002.
Grace Point is an intentionally inter-cultural church with specialized ministry to high-risk youth and children, the recovery community, and the refugee community in the most diverse school district in the country.
As parents of an adult child with developmental disabilities, Kent and Cathy have been given unexpected and unique opportunities to reach out and connect with yet another special need community. This has opened doors particularly for Cathy, who vocationally ministers to the developmentally disabled community through her work as Parent-to-Parent Coordinator with the Arc of King County in Seattle.
Faith Story
Kent received Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior as a high school sophomore at an Asian-American Youth Conference in February 1977. Within that first year of walking with the Lord, it became apparent quickly that God was calling him to the pastoral ministry with a burden for the 99.5% of his own ethnic group who are unsaved.
This target group vision was radically expanded through his association with Promise Keepers and coming to understand from working shoulder-to-shoulder with churches from a wide variety of tribes, tongues and nations that the Great Commission was a call to "make disciples of all ethnicities."
Cathy was raised in a Christian home and had a saving relationship with Jesus from an early age. She and Kent met as students at the School of Music at Seattle Pacific University in 1979 and were members of the traveling Concert Choir.
It was during the 1980 tour that Kent asked Cathy's father, long-time General Director of the Conservative Baptists of Northern California, Dr. Bruce Clatterbuck, for his daughter's hand in marriage. He said yes, and they were married on August 21, 1982.
Kent and Cathy have three grown children: Laura, a licensed physical therapist in Mountlake Terrace, Washington, Holly, who works at Cafe 43 on the Microsoft Campus in Redmond, Washington, and David, who completed a degree in Special Education at Seattle Pacific University in 2013.

I Fall of Efrafa sono stati un gruppo musicale inglese di genere crustcore/post-hardcore attivo tra il 2005 ed il 2009.

Biografia
Formatosi a Brighton-and-Hove nell'East Sussex, il quintetto nel corso della sua breve carriera ha dato alle stampe una trilogia, Warren of Snares, coprodotta da varie etichette, ispirata al romanzo di Richard Adams Watership Down (in italiano La collina dei conigli) e composta dagli album Owsla (guardiano), Elil (nemico) e Inle (morte). Efrafa è la colonia dittatoria contro la quale combatte un coniglio ribelle appartenente all'élite (Owsla). Parlando attraverso le metafore del romanzo il gruppo espone la propria idea politico/sociale profondamente animalista ed ateista; attacca le abitudini distruttive umane, analizza il rapporto con la religione e la lotta contro la tirannia. Tra le sue influenze la band cita Agalloch, Amebix e Neurosis.

Il primo album della band, Owsla, esce nel 2006, dove si alternano i D-beat del crust punk alla melodia malinconica del Post-rock con qualche parentesi sludge metal. Il titolo dell'album è una parola lapinica che nel romanzo corrisponde all'élite di guerrieri privilegiati all'interno delle conigliere che molto spesso approfittano della loro posizione agendo a discapito degli altri conigli. I pezzi sono 7 tutti molto lunghi e progressivi e probabilmente è il concept più fedele al libro della band.

Il secondo, Elil (in lapinico "predatore"), uscito l'anno successivo è un concept album strutturato in 3 sole tracce tutte di durata superiore ai 20 minuti. Il genere questa volta predominante è il post-rock che esprime una desolante atmosfera malinconica che in diversi casi si fonde con le ritmiche veloci e le chitarre distorte che questa volta cominciano a prendere ispirazione dal black metal e dalle sue recenti nuove stilistiche fuse con il post-rock.

L'ultimo, Inlé del 2009, il Post/Black metal che era soltanto una cornice nell'ultimo lavoro del gruppo diventa il genere predominante dando vita ad un insieme di emozioni e desolazione. La copertina nera e il titolo dell'album, Inlé il coniglio nero della morte, anticipano l'atmosfera che si respira in questo lavoro articolato in 7 brani tutti quanti malinconici e cupi. Stilisticamente il black metal e il post-rock sono i principali punti riferimento e rimpiazzano la velocità del crustcore con la melodia introspettiva; anche lo yelling vocale dei primi album si trasforma in scream e growl.

Dopo questo disco la band si scioglierà dando un ultimo concerto a Brighton il 4 dicembre 2009 in quanto il suo obiettivo era soltanto quello di realizzare questa trilogia, pubblicata poi in un cofanetto chiamato Warren of Snares Trilogy. Alex Bradshaw ha dato vita ai Light Bearer.

Oltre alla trilogia hanno realizzato anche 2 EP, Tharn (2008) e The Burial (2009) ed un DVD documentario del tour statunitense del 2009.

Current: What a chemist needs to know about patents
What a chemist needs to know about patents
The history of patents and patent laws is generally considered to have started with a Statute of 1474 issued by the Republic of Venice, Italy. This decreed that new and inventive devices, once they had been put into practice, had to be communicated to the Venetian Republic in order to obtain legal protection against potential infringers.
The modern definition of a patent is: 'a form of intellectual property consisting of a set of exclusive rights granted by a sovereign state to an inventor or their assignee for a limited period of time in exchange for the public disclosure of an invention'.
Intellectual Property (IP) is now one of the major outputs of all Research and Development (R&D) organisations, yet for most scientists it remains an area shrouded in mystery and misunderstanding. To debunk the myths, the SCI Young Chemists Group in collaboration with UK-based patent and trademark attorneys and litigators, EIP will hold a one-day workshop in London on 3 April 2014 entitled, 'What a chemist needs to know about patents'.
The workshop will feature modules presented by representatives from some of the world's leading Patent Attorneys and chemical companies including EIP, Fish & Richardson and Unilever. A full spectrum of patent activities will be covered including what makes inventions patentable, the drafting of patents and patent specifications, infringement and endorsement and even how to determine the value of your patent portfolio.
There will also be a 'rough guide' on how to deal with IP issues arising during third-party negotiations. Showcasing how to read and understand patents, the legal frameworks under which patents are filed and granted and the key factors which must be included for a patent to be valid, the sessions will be interactive, requiring input from the audience and designed to prompt group discussion.
The day will conclude with a case study exploring a real Unilever patent case, followed by a Q&A session which in the past has served to further confirm the interest and enthusiasm for this topic. The lunch, refreshment break and a wine reception after the close of the conference will also provide plenty of opportunity for the exchange of ideas and discussions with speakers and fellow attendees.
Aimed at R&D and legal staff covering a broad spectrum of industries, the conference is particularly relevant for those who wish to learn more about patents and IP within their area.
What a chemist needs to know about patents - 3 April 2014
Young Chemists' Panel


Lorraine McConaghy has dug deep to recreate Seattle's history, bringing to life the sounds of wagon trains and loggers' shouts of falling timber.
For McConaghy, the Museum of History and Industry's historian and one of the city's most determined sleuths, the hours spent poring over manuscripts and microfilm paid off recently with new information on Seattle founder Arthur Armstrong Denny.
A fuller picture of Denny as a visionary is emerging through new sources and McConaghy's diligence. In a talk McConaghy will give today at MOHAI, part of an "Up Close and Personal" lecture series on local historical figures, she plans to shed new light on Denny.
"It's quite a remarkable story," McConaghy said. "In many ways, Arthur Denny is synonymous with Seattle."
Even so, he has been underappreciated, often eclipsed by the more flamboyant "Doc" Maynard and David Denny, his younger brother.
New sources have convinced McConaghy that Arthur Denny was a genius, a man not prone to risk taking, yet one whose one big risk established the Emerald City.
"The genius of Arthur Denny was that he turned north," coming to Seattle "on the only real flier he ever made," McConaghy said of a man whose surveyor roots usually prompted neatly packaged and predictable behavior.
The man who preferred that "all things fit at right angles" also had a vision of a booming metropolis -- and instead of going to Oregon's Willamette Valley with family and friends, he decided to go north instead. He called it "a desperate venture," and as far as McConaghy can tell, "it's the only one he ever undertook."
But what a difference it made.
Denny had talked with men who had been to Puget Sound, relatively unpopulated compared with Portland and other Oregon Trail destinations.
The lure of 320-acre land claims -- it was actually 160 acres by the time Denny arrived -- was one factor, McConaghy said.
New sources also show that he dreamed of creating a city, a "great metropolis -- the crossroads of continents, a smokestack city on Elliott Bay, terminus of a transcontinental railroad," she said.
Denny, who among other things was the city's first postmaster, wrote an autobiography of his early years in Seattle, and several granddaughters contributed historical memoirs.
But there is more to the man, McConaghy discovered, particularly in his last three decades.
The hard-nosed businessman, she said, was productive despite suffering from an ailment he called "ague."
Denny is known as the man who donated much of his land -- now in Seattle's downtown core along University Street -- to establish the University of Washington.
McConaghy traveled to Knox County, Ill., to learn more about why the Denny family left home in 1851. Part of the impetus, she believes, may have come from the elder John Denny, who, like his counterpart in the Illinois Legislature, Abraham Lincoln, was a staunch Whig abolitionist.
She also examined newspapers to learn more about his role in bringing a railroad to Seattle.
McConaghy has pieced together the new Denny picture with help from a newly recovered "letterpress copy book," a book of carbon copies of Arthur Denny's own handwritten letters, memos and diaries.
The book was recently donated to the University of Washington's archives by a family descendant and transcribed by the descendant's husband, said library officials, who did not disclose the donor or her relation to Arthur Denny.
Some sources, however, still elude McConaghy.
"I hunted so hard for those letters, and still haven't found them," she said of correspondence sent to the Denny family in Illinois by three neighbors who had migrated west to the Oregon Territory.

Ex-NBA Commissioner Stern Made Remarkable Pivot On Sports Betting Legalization
By John Brennan on Jan 2, 2020 Sports
Former NBA Commissioner David Stern, who passed away on New Year's Day at age 77, was often quite willing to speak rather, well, sternly and provocatively on controversial topics.
But gambling may be the topic on which the man who grew up in North Jersey made his most extreme 360-degree turn. After being adamantly opposed for years, Stern learned how to stop worrying and embrace wagering.
Stern was won over in part by his successor, Adam Silver — one of his proteges — who in 2014 famously wrote a New York Times op-ed piece that made him the first commissioner to come out in favor of sports betting.
Two years later, Stern echoed Silver's pitch at the Global Gaming Expo (G2E) event in Las Vegas.
"There's a lot out there that's being bet illegally," said Stern, a graduate of Teaneck High School in Bergen County. "If we can fix this, it would be a big hit to organized crime."

But Stern also endorsed Silver's stance that while federal regulation would be highly beneficial, state-by-state legalization would be "all over the place. We're not going to have our game, or any game, pecked away by individual state bureaus of political patronage."
Stern and Silver have lost that battle so far, of course.
What won Stern over to sports betting
It was just over a year ago that I caught up once again with Stern — who I knew from covering the NBA throughout the 1990s — on the topic. Why, I wondered, had Stern shifted his approach on sports betting? Was it as simple as accepting Silver's rationale? Not exactly.
"I have changed my tune, and I now see it as 'not negative' — but only if the leagues receive a fee for their exclusive statistical data," Stern told me at a sports business event in Manhattan.
The specific catalyst, he said, was "when the leagues started to embrace daily fantasy sports" — which for Stern, as for many others, was similar enough to sports betting as to be a distinction without a difference.
In another interview in 2018, Stern called the opposition to legal gambling "a quaint, old perception of mine that had to undergo some changes."
Those changes came about even as Stern clinged to a sliver of the old skepticism. At an April 2019 sports betting event, Stern said, "If someone comes down at the end of the game and the team is winning by 22 points and they take a shot or they don't take a shot that might or might not have a consequence for making the over or the under, they're going to have people shouting, 'Shoot! Shoot!' or 'Don't shoot! Don't shoot!'
"And whatever the player does, he's going to be damned one way or the other, so there's going to be a little bit of that at the fringes."
The two sides of Stern
Stern even became an investor in some gambling startups, including ShotTracker, which he said would play a key role in enabling sports betting operators to offer in-game betting with up-to-the-second fresh betting lines.
For Stern, the brave new world was something to embrace. Only two months ago, he said, "I'm fascinated that sports betting is actually going to be here, and I'm curious about where it's going to take us and what's going to be important."
While still serving as commissioner in 2012, Stern was deposed in the federal lawsuit that the NBA and other sports leagues filed to try to stop New Jersey from offering sports betting at its state's racetracks and casinos.
"The one thing I'm certain of is New Jersey has no idea what it's doing and doesn't care because all it's interested in is making a buck or two, and they don't care that it's at our potential loss," Stern said, while aiming a barb at then-New Jersey Governor Chris Christie.
"A governor, who's a former U.S. Attorney, has chosen to attack a federal law — which causes me pause for completely different reasons, since I've at times sworn to similar oaths about upholding the law of the United States," Stern added.
Those words were consistent with Stern's testimony in a U.S. Senate hearing in 1991 about the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act that ultimately passed a year later only to be overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court in 2018.
But in the end, Stern was willing to revise his opinion based on changing circumstances.
