The 1st Kanata Venturer Company meets weekly at the Beaverbrook Community Centre at 7:30 pm. Under supervision by the Advisors, they plan activities, local camps, community service events, and adventurous camping trips. Youth are aged 14-18.
If you would like to discuss the program or possible registration please email the Advisor@1stkanatascouts.org.
In the past they have achieved national awards for their trips to Alqonquin Park, the Sleeping Giant, and the West Coast Trail. Below are some brief trip summaries since going online in 2009.
In the summer of 2015, the 1stKVC biked from Ottawa to Sandbanks Provincial Park. Five youth pushed to their limits under hot and humid conditions. Once at the park, they enjoyed a couple of days of rest and relaxation before returning home. A couple of weeks later, 3 youth went to the World Jamboree in Japan! What a summer of experiences.
During the summer of 2014, the Company canoed in La Verandrye Wilderness Reserve (Circuit #32). Three canoes and one kayak took only 4 days to complete what was thought to be a 5 day excursion. These guys are well beyond the intermediate level and enjoy the challenge.
In 2013, the Company planned and executed a trip with their efforts and skills. The 7-day canoeing trip was in Algonquin Park on the Big Trout lake loop.
In 2012, the youth hiked 4 mountains in the Adirondacks over 5 days. As well several youth participated in the Baffin Expedition and SEVEC exchange with Pangnirtung, Nunavut.
In 2011, six youth kayaked in Georgian Bay for 14 days with the support of a sailboat for supplies.
In 2010, seven youth biked across PEI from Tip-to-Tip. Their Trip from North Cape to East point took a total of 12 days. Beforehand they had done several training trips in the area to get used to towing bike trailers and to train for their trip. They biked part of the distance along the confederation trail and the rest along roads. The entirety of the trip was planned and completed by the youth of the company alone. They planned several activities such as deep sea fishing, kayaking and visits to beaches and several museums and historic sites.
In 2009, they canoed through the canyons of Utah, hiked to the bottom of the Grand Canyon and toured national parks in Utah and Arizona over a two-week period. They flew into Las Vegas, rented a car and drove in a large loop through three US states; Utah, Arizona and Nevada. They hiked the 1,763 m climb to the spectacular Angel's Landing and through a canyon river at the Zion Narrows. They watched a sunrise over the hoodoos of Bryce Canyon. They canoed for three days through the canyons of the Green River in Utah and then finally hiked down the Grand Canyon.
This is the group of eight that hiked down the Grand Canyon at the end of their 2009 trip.

Welcome in Tribhuvan International Airport, Kathmandu. Our team will be waiting for your arrival, meet and greet by Laser Travel and Tours team and transfer to your hotel in Kathmandu. Check-in at your hotel and remaining day you have at your own leisure, whether staying at the hotel to relax and acclimatize or exploring the Kathmandu valley at your own pace.
Enjoy your breakfast at hotel. Around 9 AM our team will pick you up from your hotel and take you to explore at main sights and attraction of beautiful Kathmandu valley. Your tours will be followed by Kathmandu Durbar Square which is also know as Basantapur, where you will be discovering the stunning architectural heritage of the Kathmandu city's heart. You will also visit probably the most famous attraction of Kumari bahal, where the Royal Kumari (the city's living goddess) is residing. The main courtyard of this three-storey redbrick palace features ornate carved balconies. Your sightseeing tours will continue to the nearby former Royal Palace, which also features an elaborate display of beautiful carvings. The 14th century Jagannath Mandir is the oldest temple in the area and has steps carved with inscriptions in many languages and pillars with rather racy carvings. Then, further to the pagoda-style Taleju Mandir, which is dedicated to the patron deity of the royal family. After then, you will visit the most ancient and enigmatic of the valley's holy shrines golden-spired stupa "Swayambhunath" which is also well known as Monkey temple, which sits atop a wooded hill in the west of the city and boasts dramatic views over the Kathmandu valley. Then, we will drive further to visit Boudhanath stupa which is one of the holiest and World's heritage Buddhist site. After finishing Boudhnath we will continue our sightseeing to another holy Hindu temple, popularly known as Pasupatinath situated at bank of Bagmati river. Finally, we will drive back to hotel and rest. Overnight in Kathmandu.
Flying into the country's only airport, in the beautiful Paro valley, the clear mountain air, forested ridges, imposing monasteries and welcoming Bhutanese people in their striking national dress, provides a breath-taking first impression. On arrival at Paro airport, after immigration and custom formalities, your guide for the trip will receive you and transfer you to the hotel. The valley of Paro contains a wealth of attractions and your afternoon sightseeing includes visit to Ta Dzong; once a watchtower, built to defend Rinpung Dzong during inter-valley wars of the 17th century, Ta Dzong was inaugurated as Bhutan's National Museum in 1968. Next in line is Rinpung Dzong; It was built in 1646 by Shabdrung Ngawang Namgyal, the first spiritual and temporal ruler of Bhutan; the Dzong continues its age-old function as the seat of the district administration, district court and the monastic body. The southern approach to the Dzong has a traditional roofed cantilever bridge called Nemi Zam. A walk across the bridge offers a wide view of splendor of the Dzong's architecture and an opportunity to tread the same path as the ancient warriors.Later on, take an evening stroll along the main street, and perhaps visit a few handicrafts shops, or take refreshments at a local cafe or bar.
Today, we hike up to the famous cliff-hermitage called Taktsang, the 'Tiger's Nest.' This monastic retreat is built into a sheer cliff face high above the Paro valley. Legend has it that the Tibetan Buddhist saint Padmasambhava flew across the Himalayas on the back of a tiger and landed here, bringing Buddhism to Bhutan. The trail to the monastery climbs through beautiful pine forest and an occasional grove of fluttering prayer flags. After visiting what is known as one of the most venerated pilgrimage sites in the country, we will go off the beaten track further up to the temples that are on the hill tops above Tiger's Nest. It's so peaceful there and you can really communicate with nature as you enjoy the views from the top be it that of mountains or the valley. No wonder that some monks have chosen this place to meditate for their life. To go down, we are following a different path that takes us through the pristine thick forest of oaks and rhododendrons festooned with Spanish mosses.
In the morning, we will take a drive to Thimphu along the windy road taking about an hour. Thimphu, perhaps the most unusual capital city in the world, is the seat of government. This bustling town is home to Bhutan's royal family, the civil service, and foreign missions with representation in Bhutan. It is also the headquarters for a number of internationally funded development projects. The sightseeing in Thimphu includes; Visit to the Institute of Traditional Medicine; Bhutan has long and rich tradition of medicine based on natural remedies derived mainly from plants and earth, and some animals. This institute has facility for out patients, training, research and production of traditional medicine. The courses to become traditional doctors, called drungtsho, entail six to eight years of strenuous study after high school. The institute has an exhibition room that imparts excellent look into the tradition. Visit to the School of Traditional Arts and Crafts, the school offers a six-year course in the techniques of traditional art in religious and secular paintings, woodcarving, clay sculpture and traditional mask making. One can see students working through progressive levels practicing precise rules of Bhutanese art. The school also has a showroom from where student works are sold at very reasonable price compared to town for same quality of work. Visit to the Folk Heritage Museum; established in 2001, this is an interesting museum housed in a very old traditional house. The museum is a walk through the fast changing rural tradition, habits and skills, and those of the past. They organize special exhibitions annually on select subject pertaining to Bhutanese heritage. Visit the National Memorial Chorten; the building of this landmark was originally envisaged by Bhutan's third king, His Majesty Jigme Dorji Wangchuck, who had wanted to erect a monument to world peace and prosperity. Completed in 1974 after his untimely death, it is both a memorial to the Late King ('the father of modern Bhutan'), and a monument to peace. Visit the government-run Handicrafts Emporium and privately owned crafts shops, which offer a wide range of handcrafted products, including the splendid thangkha paintings and exquisitely woven textiles for which Bhutan is famous.
This beautiful valley encapsulates a rich culture, scenic beauty and hundreds of myths and legends.It is home to many of Bhutan's oldest temples and monasteries, the country's only airport, and the National Museum. Mt. Jhomolhari (7,300m) reigns in white glory at the northern end of the valley, its glacial waters plunging through deep gorges to form the Pa Chu (Paro River). The Paro valley is one of the kingdom's most fertile, producing the bulk of Bhutan's famous red rice from its terraced fields. Today's sightseeing in Paro includes: Drukgyel Dzong: This Dzong, with a picturesque village nestling below its ramparts, was built by Shabdrung Ngawang Namgyal in 1646, to commemorate his victory over the Tibetan invaders.Though largely destroyed by fire in 1951, the towering outer walls and central keep remain an imposing sight.On a clear day, there is a splendid view of Mt. Jhomolhari from the approach road to Drukgyel Dzong. Rinpung Dzong Built in 1646 by Shabdrung Ngawang Namgyal, the 'fortress of the heap of jewels'stands on a hill above Paro Township.The approach to the Dzong is through a traditional covered bridge (called the Nemi Zam) and then up a paved stone path running alongside the imposing outer walls. The valley's annual springtime religious festival, the Paro Tsechu, takes place in the courtyard of the Dzong and on the dance ground on the hillside above.
On a ridge immediately above Rinpung Dzong is Ta Dzong, built as a watchtower to protect Rinpung Dzong.('Ta' means 'to see' in Dzongkha, so the watchtower of a Dzong is always called a 'Ta Dzong').On account of their function, watchtowers are always round in shape.In 1968 Paro's Ta Dzong was inaugurated as the National Museum, and now holds a fascinating collection of art, relics, religious thangkha paintings, Bhutan's exquisite postage stamps, coins and handicrafts, together with a small natural history collection. Kyichu Lhakhang This Lhakhang, built in the 7th century, is one of the two oldest and most sacred shrines in Bhutan (the other being Jambey Lhakhang in Bumthang).Kyichu Lhakhang is composed of twin temples. The first temple was built by the Tibetan king, Songtsen Gampo in the 7th century. In 1968, H.M. Ashi Kesang, the Queen Mother of Bhutan, arranged for a second temple to be built alongside the first one, in same style. Farm Houses. The natural beauty of Paro valley is enhanced by picturesque farm houses dotted about the fields and on the hillsides.The two to three-storied Bhutanese farm houses are handsome in appearance, with colorfully decorated outer walls and lintels, and are traditionally built without the use of single nail.All houses follow the same architectural style. A visit to a farm house gives an interesting glimpse into the lifestyle of a farming family.
This morning, we will take a drive to Chele La (3750m), the highest motor able pass in the country and hike up along the meadow to Kung Karpo La (4100m). Weather permitting; we will enjoy the breathtaking views of the snowcapped mountains while walking above the tree line along the ridge that divides Paro and Ha valley. The short steep descent from the top will take us to the nunnery of Kila Gompa. Here the nuns, called anims, live a life of contemplation and seclusion, with daily prayer and spiritual practice. The temple itself is surrounded by numerous meditation huts, and many hidden caves lie inside the rocky cliffs. The gompa is surrounded by a lush forest dominated by tall firs. Sparkling mountain streams wind down the slopes, which are covered with a variety of wildflowers and plants. About 30 anims, or nuns, live here, ranging in age from about 20 to 80 years. The community is one of the oldest of seven nunneries in Bhutan, and was initially established in the early 9th century as a meditation site. After being destroyed by fire, the temple was rebuilt and officially established in 1986 as an anim dratshang (religious community of Buddhist nuns). Kila Gompa is historically significant as a sacred meditation site. Many renowned Buddhist saints have come here to find peace and seclusion. The main temple houses ancient statues of Chenrezig (Avalokiteswara) and Guru Rinpoche (Padmasambhava) among others. Life here is simple. The day begins and ends with prayers.The anims arise at 3 AM and study Buddhist scripture until 8 AM when they go to the temple for prayers. The first simple meal of the day (rice, vegetables and tea) is eaten at 10 AM, after which studies continue until 9 PM when a simple supper is served. The nuns retire after a final session of prayer. Most of the nuns have given up properties and left their families to live with the bare minimum of material things. Their studies and subsistence are supported by the government. Some of the older nuns have retired into meditation, while many of the younger ones pursue basic Buddhist studies and perform religious ceremonies. The course takes 5-6 years, after which they begin meditation, which can range from four months to three years. One young nun, when asked why she had chosen this life, replied 'There is peace in thinking about others, apart from yourself.' Another said 'If I was given back my youth, I would still choose this life but I would start it earlier. I have never been more at peace with myself. The walk down from here to the road is lined with small white chortens and it will take us about an hour.

Q: How to be notified when a non-visible Mac OSX app is closing down? -- applicationWillTerminate() not called I have a Mac app whose applicationWillTerminate:(NSNotification *) handler is not called when the app closes down.  There is some c++ memory cleanup code that must be called if the program is shut down, so I need some way to do this.
The reason it doesn't get called seems to be related to my adding the following key to Info.plist:
<key>LSUIElement</key>
<true/>

I've read the other questions and answers on this topic, for example applicationWillTerminate: not being called and applicationWillTerminate not called (the accepted correct answer did not work). applicationDidEnterBackground() is never fired either. applicationDidFinishLaunching() always fires ok.  I return NSTerminateNow if applicationShouldTerminate() is ever called, but it isn't called either.
For the curious, the app is a Chrome native messaging host and is launched programmatically.  And it can be shut down on me if the pipe closes, so I really need some kind of event or notification or something that will reliably allow me to execute some code on shutdown.  My app needs to remain invisible and it needs not to appear in application switcher if the user uses Command-Tab.
UPDATE:
I've noticed from the beginning that the following is logged to the Console app when I terminate my app from the Activity Monitor:
com.apple.xpc.launchd[1]: (com.allinlearning.ailhost.67908[13017]) Service exited due to signal: Terminated: 15

Which relates directly to Peter Hosey's answer for this SO question: applicationWillTerminate does not get invoked. So I immediately added the NSSupportsSuddenTermination key to my Info.plist to disable sudden termination, hoping (as Peter's answer implies) that applicationWillTerminate will be given time to fire.  Alas, it did not.  But it does perhaps clarify things.  If indeed that console statement means my app is being terminated, then how can I get a chance to execute some code before The End?

CEO Succession, Gender and Risk Taking
Eahab Elsaid, University of WindsorFollow
Nancy D. Ursel, University of WindsorFollow
Chief executive officers, Women's Interests, Experimental/theoretical
Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to examine, within a succession framework, the impact of the gender composition of boards of directors on the gender of the CEOs they appoint, and to assess the impact of newly appointed CEOs' gender on risk taking by the firm.
Design/methodology/approach - The authors estimate a two-stage least squares regression using data on 679 CEO successions in North American firms.
Findings - The results show that successor CEOs are more likely to be female the greater the percentage of females on the board, regardless of other succession characteristics such as whether the new CEO is from inside or outside the firm. Furthermore, a change in CEO from male to female is associated with a decrease in several measures of firm risk taking.
Research limitations/implications - The sample is restricted to relatively large, exchange-traded North American firms and may not generalize to other groups.
Practical implications - The findings suggest that women aspiring to CEO positions and firms wishing to promote women should monitor board composition to ensure female representation. Other steps that the firm may take to promote women to this position (such as looking outside the firm) have an insignificant impact when board composition is taken into account.
Originality/value - The findings are novel and inform CEO succession research by demonstrating which succession process characteristics work to increase females' chances and which have no effect. Female CEOs are likely to provide leadership that reduces the risk profile of the firm.

Need Someone to Gopher a Soda?


Little Rosie is lucky to have a brand new foot this week ... and a second chance at a happy life. An accident when she was even littler left the 10-week-old puppy with a foot so injured that it had to be amputated.
The breeder no longer wanted Rosie, and, at just a few weeks old, her future looked grim. That is, until Florida rescue group Big Hearts For Big Dogs stepped in.
The rescue group found Rosie a great foster home, and, amazingly, a team who was able to make her a brand new prosthetic foot.
Specialized Veterinary Services, a local practice, teamed up with the Hanger Clinic, which usually makes prosthetics for humans, to get Rosie the new foot she needed.
Rosie meets the new BHBD 'litter' and can't believe how small they are.
After a few fittings and plenty of practice, Rosie is well on her way to having a perfect prosthetic that will help her run and jump and play just like a puppy should.
Now all Rosie needs is a forever family who will understand her needs, and give her lots of love and attention.
Anyone interested in adopting Rosie, or supporting her rescue efforts, can find ways to help online on the Big Hearts For Big Dogs site.

Q: recording user selections and altering textview strings via java code Im new to android programming (and java for that matter). Although i do have a good grasp on programming concepts.
what im trying to do as an exercise to help build my understanding is create a simple text adventure. i want to begin by offering the user the ability to select something like a player race or class (which will ultimately determine how the story plays out). i plan on doing so with radio buttons (or perhaps even a normal button).
my question is this. when the user selects their class (ie: "Mage") i want that choice to be stored. from there i want to be able to define a conditional statement that will alter which story the user will be given. the problem is that i do not yet have a grasp on the process for recording the users selection, and altering the text in a textview (or any other view)
once i know how to record which variable the user chose and test it in an "if" statement, then alter the output of a view from within this conditional, i will be on my way.
thanks in advance =)

A: First you would want to create a radio group in your layout XML file and then give each radio button an id value to reference from the java code like this:
<RadioGroup android:id="@+id/RadGroup">
<RadioButton android:id="@+id/Rad1"
    android:text="Radio1"/>
<RadioButton android:id="@+id/Rad2"
    android:text="Radio2"/>
<RadioButton android:id="@+id/Rad3"
    android:text="Radio3"/>
</RadioGroup>

Then from there you could use an if statement or a switch statement and as for altering a TextView you could use myTextView.setText("myString") and you could use that within each if to achieve different text values.

Dr. Oz solicits Fox News viewers to join an at-home hydroxychloroquine clinical trial
The talk show host encouraged viewers to get the medication in the mail, take it, and report what happened next. Other COVID-19 trials of the drug have run into problems with heart complications in patients.
Written by Bobby Lewis
Published 04/16/20 11:45 AM EDT
On April 16, TV's Dr. Mehmet Oz used his now-daily Fox & Friends appearance to promote a "self-reported" hydroxychloroquine clinical trial from the University of Minnesota, claiming that "they mail you the pills, you start the protocol, [and] tell them what happened." This comes as other hydroxychloroquine trials internationally have returned murky results so far or in some cases been canceled due to heart complications in patients.
The study that Dr. Oz appears to be talking about is "limited to only high-risk exposures" to the coronavirus -- not to people who have symptoms, or to just anyone who thinks they might be at risk, as Oz suggested.
Dr. David Boulware, who is leading the study, has warned that healthy people should not self-administer the drug, which has risks of heart complications, particularly if combined with other medicines. He has explained that his study is seeking preventative measures for high-risk individuals who may be "on death's door."
Neither Dr. Oz nor any of the Fox & Friends hosts urged such caution or explained the vital context.
Citation From the April 16, 2020, edition of Fox News' Fox & Friends
DR. MEHMET OZ (HOST, THE DR. OZ SHOW): There's a clinical trial that's just starting now based down at NYU, but the real data's going to come from the University of Minnesota. I just had the principal investigator of that program on the show. I'm earnestly trying to help him recruit more patients. It's a nationwide trial. It's self-reported, so it's not perfect, but the good news is we can get thousands of people to say, hey listen, I have COVID-19 or I'm at risk for getting COVID-19; I want to be part of your trial. They mail you the pills, you start the protocol, tell them what happened. Did it work? Did it not work? Did you go to the hospital? Did you get better? And then based on that, they're going to start giving us some of the data we need to make decisions. So if you go to DoctorOz.com, we put a link to his study there. Or just go to the University of Minnesota site and join this trial. Be part of the solution.
Dr. Mehmet Oz
On Fox & Friends, Dr. Oz says "schools may not be as big a risk as we'd initially feared" for the coronavirus pandemic
On Fox & Friends, Dr. Oz claims "a lot of doctors" feel that "the worry and the panic about coronavirus is going to be worse than the actual coronavirus for them"

That's a question you might be asking right now. Maybe you've heard some teenagers mention it, or maybe you've even seen it featured on the news. Despite being the 4th most popular website in the US and the 8th most popular website in the entire world, many adults are unfamiliar with Reddit.
Okay, but does anyone other than teens use it?
One particular subreddit of note is called 'Ask Me Anything' (AMA). On this feed, famous people such as Astronaut Chris Hadfield, Ann Coulter, Mark Hamill, Adam Savage, Sir David Attenborough, Stan Lee, Dr. Philip Zimbardo, Al Gore, Bill Gates, and even Barack Obama (while sitting as president!) have been featured, allowing users to ask them questions to which they will respond.
Aside from providing direct access to some seriously famous people, there have even been instances in Reddit's past where good deeds have been performed. Notably, a user posted a photo of his mother who was suffering from Alzheimer's. She had disappeared, and the user put the Reddit community on notice. Within a few hours, a fellow Reddit user had found the missing mom, and contacted the necessary people to get her back home.
And what has all this got to do with advertising?
Interestingly enough, Reddit recently changed the layout of its sponsored advertisements. For most of Reddit's inception, one single ad would be featured at the top of each page, separated from the content and easy to scroll past without a glance. Now, they are integrated, native. Ads are mixed in with content in a seemingly random order, with multiple scattered across each page. Because it is suddenly much more difficult to distinguish between what is user-generated content and what is marketing, ads are now accruing clicks across the pages.
Another reason advertising on Reddit is particularly effective is due to something called 'Promoted User Posts.' Essentially, regular Reddit users (as well as Reddit influencers and trendsetters) have the ability to create a post that endorses a brand in some way. Then, if the post is successful, that brand can approach Reddit and pay to have the user's post 'promoted.' This would feature the post in the prominent spot for advertising, but would look like a natural user-generated post. Just imagine, if a post was both a Promoted User Post and had lots of upvotes, the visibility would be remarkable!
Still seems risky. Has anyone notable successfully used Reddit to advertise?
As a matter of fact, yes! In 2017, Coca-Cola wanted to create excitement for its upcoming Super Bowl commercial. The NFL and Superhero subreddits were targeted, asking users to create a superhero mash-up. In just 4 days, the campaign received over 400 comments, 97% of which were positive, and which were 50% longer than other organic comments. Perhaps even more notable was the average time a user spent on the feed: 13 minutes! People can barely make it through a 90 second Facebook video, so a full 13 minutes is astounding! And almost a third of users returned to the feed multiple times. The campaign's success is not an anomaly: Duracell and Toyota have had similar success stories regarding advertising on Reddit.
Is Reddit really worth it?
A recent study by Social Media Examiner found that 93% of marketers use social media to market their business, and 90% of marketers' most pressing concern is social media engagement.
Eighty-two BILLION pages are viewed on Reddit each year. 58% of users are between the ages of 18-29, and 33% of users fall between ages 30-49. This means that a whopping 91% of users are within the key demographic market for the majority of businesses. The math is clear: Reddit provides an indispensable service in reaching target consumers. If nothing else, it's at least worth the consideration.

Educators in schools and out have taken up the challenge of supporting youth to develop the digital citizenship skills they need to navigate online spaces safely so that young people can then make best use of the collaborative nature of the web and its myriad, always-available resources.
Online safety for the purpose of greater learning opportunities is the focus of a recently released report by the Aspen Institute Task Force on Learning and the Internet. The report, titled Learner at the Center of a Networked World, details a set of recommendations for ensuring that today's young people are at the center of, and have access to, safe learning inside and outside of the classroom. The cross-sector, cross-partisan report addresses the serious issues of digital literacy, accessibility, trust, safety, and privacy, especially for underserved students. In their recommendations, the task force outlines actions to help all students connect safely in order to maximize learning experiences online.
The report calls for a shift from the traditional focus on one learning institution, the school, to a focus on the learner and all the places where there are opportunities to learn, like museums, libraries, after-school programs and the home. To be successful, students must have access to learning networks that are interoperable – or have the ability to share information – and that allow them to earn credit for what they have learned regardless of where they learned it. These credits should also be recognized by schools and institutions of higher education. Most importantly, schools, technology leaders, and policymakers need to ensure sensitive student information is secure and protected and there are trusted environments in which that data can be shared and used to improve instruction.
Educator Innovators with ideas for creating safer, more trusted environments for youth should take note. In response to the report, the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation has announced a $1.2 million challenge to foster trust in online learning environments and help educators harness one of the most powerful tools of the digital age—online networks. The Trust Challenge, will offer year-long development grants of up to $150,000 to teams with the most promising innovations for fostering trusted learning environments online. The open invitation for proposals will be administered by HASTAC, an alliance of more than 14,000 humanists, artists, social scientists, scientists and technologists working together to transform the future of learning.
The Aspen Institute Task Force report, finalized after a year of study, outreach to stakeholders, public input and internal deliberations, provides a framework and examples to help communities come together to be creative and collaborate about building environments where safety, learning and innovation become synonymous.

US diplomatic missions to reopen after al-Qaeda terror alert
Eighteen of the 19 US diplomatic missions recently closed due to security threats will reopen on Sunday.
The state department says its embassy in the Yemeni capital Sanaa will stay closed "because of ongoing concerns".
The US closed 19 diplomatic missions in the Middle East and Africa last Sunday in response to what it said was a threat of a terrorist attack.
The consulate in the Pakistani city of Lahore, which closed after a separate threat, will also not reopen yet.
"We will continue to evaluate the threats to Sanaa and Lahore and make subsequent decisions about the reopening of those facilities based on that information," said spokeswoman Jen Psaki.
"We will also continue to evaluate information about these and all of our posts and to take appropriate steps to best protect the safety of our personnel, American citizens travelling overseas, and visitors to our facilities."
On Thursday, at least 14 suspected al-Qaeda militants – reportedly including seven from Saudi Arabia – were killed in Yemen in three drone strikes, Yemeni officials said.
The number of US strikes in Yemen has been stepped up over the past month.
Eighteen of the 19 US diplomatic missions recently closed due to security threats will reopen on Sunday
Yemen is a stronghold of al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) – an al-Qaeda offshoot considered by Washington to be the most dangerous to the West.
The US statement said the Sanaa embassy would stay closed because of concerns about a "threat stream" emanating from AQAP, without providing further details.
Most US employees at the Sanaa embassy were ordered to leave the country on Tuesday.
The embassy closures, along with a US global travel alert, came after the US reportedly intercepted al-Qaeda messages.
Reports said they were between senior figures talking about a plot against an embassy.
The US closed its consulate in Lahore on Thursday and evacuated all non-essential staff following what it described as "a credible threat".
US officials said the evacuation was undertaken as a precaution and not related to the closure of the other diplomatic missions.
Thursday's drone attacks in Yemen targeted a group of suspected militants, killing four of them in Wadi al-Jadd in the southern province of Hadramout, said Yemeni officials.
A day earlier, Yemen said it had foiled a major al-Qaeda plot against oil pipelines and ports.
Two strikes in Marib and Hadramout provinces killed 10 suspected militants, the security officials said, while another seven people died in a drone attack on Wednesday.
While the US has acknowledged targeting militants in Yemen with drones, it does not comment publicly on its policy or the raids.
About 30 suspected militants have been killed in a series of such raids in Yemen since 28 July, news agencies report.

Q: Expected value of highest die roll Daniel will roll a fair, six-sided die until he gets a 4. What is the expected value of the highest number he
rolls through this process?

It seems the expected number of rolls is 6. Can we reword this question to what is the expected value of the maximum of 6 die rolls?

A: Consider a 2 sided fair die (sides marked 1 and 2) as a counter example. The expected number of rolls until you get a 1 (or a 2) is 2 (as this experiment is representable by a geometric random variable with parameter $p = \frac12$, so the expectation is $\frac1p = 2$).
Let $M$ be the max of 2 dice rolls.
Then $E[M] = 1*P(M=1) + 2*P(M=2) = \frac14 + 2(1-P(M=1)) = \frac14 + 2(1 - \frac14) = \frac74 \neq 2.$
Although the number of sides on this dice is different than in your example, the same reasoning can be used in the case where the number of sides is 6 to show that the suggested rewording is not equivalent.

A: Let $P(6)$ denote the probability of getting a $(6)$ before the first $(4)$.
Let $P(5)$ denote the probability of getting a $(5)$ before the first $(4)$ and simultaneously, not getting a $(6)$ before the first $(4)$.
Then, the computation for the expected value of the highest roll is
$$4 +~ \left[ ~2 \times P(6) ~\right] ~+~ \left[ ~1 \times  ~P(5) ~\right]. \tag1 $$

$$P(6) = \frac{1}{6} + \left[\frac{4}{6}P(6)\right] \implies \frac{2}{6}P(6) = \frac{1}{6} \implies P(6) = \frac{1}{2}.$$

$$P(5) = \frac{1}{6} + \left[\frac{3}{6}P(5)\right] \implies \frac{3}{6}P(5) = \frac{1}{6} \implies P(5) = \frac{1}{3}.$$
Thanks to lulu, for her comment, immediately following this posting, which indicated a flaw in the above analysis, pertaining specifically to the computation of $P(5).$
$\color{red}{\text{The above analysis is wrong because:}}$
The above equation assumes that if the first roll is a $(5)$, that it is game over, and that the high roll will be a $(5)$.  This overlooks the fact that the die rolls do not stop, if the first roll is a $(5)$.
Instead, the die rolls continue, and by the already computed $P(6)$, (1/2) the (subsequent) time, there will be a $(6)$ before the $(4)$.
Therefore, the correct equation for $P(5)$ is
$$P(5) = \left[ ~\frac{1}{6} \times \left( ~1 - P(6) \right) ~\right] + \left[\frac{3}{6}P(5)\right] \implies $$
$$\frac{3}{6}P(5) = \left[\frac{1}{6} \times \left( ~1 - \frac{1}{2} ~\right) ~\right] \implies P(5) = \frac{1}{6}.$$
Note:
As indicated in the comment of lulu, an alternative (less convoluted) approach is to:

*

*Let $P(4)$ denote the probability that the high roll will be $(4)$.

*Recognize that $P(4) + P(5) + P(6) = 1$.

*Recognize that
$\displaystyle P(4) = \frac{1}{6} + \left[\frac{3}{6}P(4)\right] \implies \frac{3}{6}P(4) = \frac{1}{6} \implies P(4) = \frac{1}{3}.$

Plugging these $\color{red}{\text{now corrected}}$ results back into (1) above, the computation of expected value becomes
$$4 +~ \left[ ~2 \times \frac{1}{2} ~\right] ~+~ \left[ ~1 \times  \frac{1}{6} ~\right] = \frac{31}{6}. $$

A: To summarize the discussion in the comments:
In any given trial, the answer must be $k\in \{4,5,6\}$.  Any other tosses are irrelevant.  Let $p_k$ be the probability that the result is $k$.
$p_4=\frac 13$ since you see $4,5$ or $6$ first with equal probability.
$p_6=\frac 12$ since you see $6$ before $4$ with probability $\frac 12$.
$p_5=\frac 16$ since the only sequence which results in $k=5$ is $5,4,6$.  That is to say, the only way to get $k=5$ is to see $5$ before either $4$ or $6$ and then to see a $4$ before a $6$.
Thus the answer is $$E=4\times \frac 13+5\times \frac 16 +6\times \frac 12=\frac {31}6=5.1\overline 6$$

Review: Southbound, a highway to hell
RyanReviewsAnthology, entertainment, Film, Horror, Movies, Review, Southbound4 Comments
Just when the anthology format was beginning to feel stale and uninventive, Southbound gives the genre a much needed pulse with a handful of masterfully blended tales of terror. It pours on the atmosphere with horror that stretches its long fingers across the genre—from the minds of Roxanne Benjamin, David Bruckner, Patrick Horvath, and Radio Silence, Southbound officially sets the bar for films of ilk from here on out. On a desolate stretch of desert highway, weary travelers—two men on therun from their past, a band on their way to the next gig, a man struggling to get home, a brother in search of his long-lost sister and a family on vacation—are forced to confront their worst fears and darkest secrets.
There's something really special about Southbound and it's in the way the stories are told. Unlike a lot of anthologies, each film in Southbound is seamlessly blended into each other, making it feel cohesive in a way that's rarely executed in this format. And that's what I loved about the film, too, is that it's a constant shit storm of awesome horror—there's no down time between stories. Instead, it just relentlessly throws you into a new nightmare before you can catch your breath.
Each story is unique in its own way, only tied to the similar theme of the horror that comes from a highway in the desert. And they hit all the right notes along the way—there's a supernatural tale with otherworldly monsters, a home invasion slasher thrown in there, a mystifying Twilight Zone-esque thriller and a nightmarish cult all go to work. But even better, there is no gimmick or bullshit excuse that brings the anthology full circle and I fucking love that. When all is said and done, Southbound comes together to create a 90-minute monster, a cohesive beast that just works.
But if there's one downfall to Southbound, it's that it leaves too many threads left hanging by the time the film is over. Every story is so under explained, bringing up a ton of questions with absolutely no answers. I can see the power in telling the film this way (it heightens the mystery of it all), but man is it frustrating when you're left to piece so many different storylines together—it really flatlined a lot of what was so brilliantly built up. Other than that, though, Southbound is the real deal, a wicked take on anthologies that will (hopefully) change the landscape for the format that continues to tell short-form horror in exciting new ways.

Ooohhhhh….I like the look of this!
It's really solid and certainly one of the better (if not the best) anthology films in a while.
This looks great! I am going to hunt it down!
Do it! It's a ton of fun and has some really cool (and creepy) stories.

'Growing Pains' Dad Alan Thicke Dies At 69
By The Movie God | @ | Wednesday, December 14th, 2016 at 12:10 am
One of the all-time great TV dads, Alan Thicke, has died at the age of 69. Thicke, a massive hockey fan who often played in charity games with legends of the sport and other celebrities, was reportedly playing hockey with his son when he suffered a heart attack and was taken to Providence St. Joseph's Medical Center where he later passed away.
Thicke is best known for playing Dr. Jason Seaver on the hit ABC sitcom Growing Pains. The show ran for 167 episodes from 1985 to 1992, and also starred Joanna Kearns as Thicke's character's wife, and Kirk Cameron, Tracey Gold, and Jeremy Miller as the character's children, with Ashley Johnson playing the suddenly much older youngest child for the last couple of seasons. A homeless teenager (played by Leonardo DiCaprio) was brought into the family during the show's final season.
Thicke appeared on numerous TV shows over the course of his career, which began in 1969. Some of the shows he appeared on include Murder She Wrote, Married With Children, The Outer Limits, Yes Dear, Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job!, The Bold and the Beautiful, How I Met Your Mother, Scream Queens, and recently This Is Us and Fuller House, just to name a handful. Movies he appeared in include Raising Helen, Alpha Dog, The Goods: Live Hard Sell Hard, That's My Boy, and others.
In addition to his work acting, Thicke also hosted game shows such as Pictionary, had his own talk show, The Alan Thicke Show, and his own reality TV show called Unusually Thicke.
He even worked in the music department on some notable titles, including composing the theme music for Diff'rent Strokes and The Facts of Life.
Thicke was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for his work on Growing Pains, and also was nominated for three Primetime Emmy Awards and two Daytime Emmy Awards over the course of his career.

That is sad, I grew up with "Growing Pains". While occasionally a bit goofy, Alan seemed like a thoroughly decent guy. His son ROBIN Thicke, on the other hand is a complete douchebag.

As Pravda.Ru reported, mass hysteria could be evidenced in the West given Russia-Belarus West-2017 drills planned for autumn. In Ukraine they were called to be a 'direct aggression' against their country and even 'discredit to Belarus'.
While the Lithuanian President Dalia Grybauskaite was terrified at the idea itself of preparation of the exercises, claiming that in such a way two countries 'demonstrate preparation for war against the West'.

Malaysian Police Seize Cash, Jewels, Designer Bags From Ousted Premier's Residence
By Scott Neuman
Updated at 6:25 a.m. ET
Barely a week after former Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak was defeated in elections, police carried out a pre-dawn raid at one of his residences, confiscating dozens of suitcases containing cash, jewelry and hundreds of designer bags as part of an ongoing corruption probe.
The Associated Press reports that Malaysian television "showed police carting away orange boxes containing handbags and luggage of various sizes from the condominium. Each orange box has a label and a picture of the bag."
It said the labels on the boxes "describe the bags as a 'navy blue crocodile skin with diamond,' a 'blue with diamonte' crocodile skin Hermes and a gray crocodile skin Hermes. All appeared to be new and were bought abroad, including in Paris and Switzerland in 2013 and 2015."
According to Fortune magazine the handbags come at a steep price, "The cost of new [Hermes] Birkins range from $12,000 to more than $200,000, and they regularly sell on the secondary market for more than their original sales price."
"Exactly how much jewelry, I would not be able to say," Amar Singh, the director of police for commercial crime investigations, told reporters at the scene, according to Reuters. "We know that we confiscated bags containing jewellery and the [amount] of jewelry is rather big."
Singh said the raid was in connection with the investigation into the 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) sovereign wealth fund.
Later, the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission said it had found evidence of a suspicious $10.6 million transfer from a state fund to an account belonging to Najib, according to Reuters. It said Najib had been summoned to appear by the commission.
Najib, whose defeat last week by 92-year-old former Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad, came as a surprise upset, has been embroiled for years in the 1MDB scandal. The United States and five other countries, including Switzerland, are investigating claims that billions of dollars were siphoned off from the fund. Najib has denied all wrongdoing.
Nearly two years ago, NPR's Jim Zarroli reported that the U.S. Justice Department was suing to recover funds lost in the scheme. At the time, Najib was listed as a suspect thought by U.S. officials to have personally received hundreds of millions of dollars from the fund:
"U.S. officials say a total of $3.5 billion, raised through bond offerings made by the investment fund 1MDB between 2009 and 2015, was laundered through a series of sham transactions and shell corporations by "high level officials" of the fund and their associates. The U.S. is seeking to reclaim only about $1 billion right now, because that's how much officials have been able to trace through the system.
The money was allegedly used to purchase, among other things, artwork by Vincent Van Gogh and Claude Monet, a $35 million jet, high-end real estate and rights to the film The Wolf of Wall Street, U.S. officials said in a statement."
Since then, U.S. investigators say the figure is closer to $4.5 billion, some of which ended up in Najib's bank account. The AP says $23 million of it was used to buy a pink diamond necklace for Najib's wife, Rosmah.
Last year, the Justice Department filed a civil suit seeking nearly $30 million of funds stolen from 1MDB.
According to the AP, "Police conducted simultaneous raids at several other locations including Najib's family house, his former office as prime minister and an official residence. Documents related to 1MDB were taken from the office and police are still trying to crack open a safe in Najib's house, [Singh] said.

Ideal for medium residential, commercial and maintenance applications.
The SF23 Select diaphragm pump has no pulsation, making it ideal for fine finish work. It is generator friendly, can be run dry with no damage to the pump, and can spray large volumes of water (suitable for cleaning commercial air-conditiong systems).
The On / Off switch contains a thermal overload, which protects the electric motor in the event of low voltage supply.
The unit works with either the 20L hopper systems, or the flexible suction hose. It is suitable for short paint hoses and comes with a flexible rayon-braided hose. When used with the hopper, clean up time is half that of an electric piston pump!


J+B Küpers GmbH took delivery of a new Liebherr LTM 1130-5.1 mobile crane in September. The company is based in Osterwald in Lower Saxony and provides services to the oil and gas industry. The modern Liebherr 5-axle crane meets the high requirements of this industry in terms of quality and safety.
The new Liebherr LTM 1130-5.1 will replace a crane of the same lifting capacity class, thus modernising the company's fleet. Joachim Küpers explains: "The customers in these industries have high quality demands and strict requirements relating to the safety of the equipment we use. We therefore attach great value to a fleet which is up to date technically. The new LTM 1130-5.1 with its VarioBase® variable support base and working area limitation satisfies these requirements in full."
J+B Küpers was founded 53 years ago and has established itself in the transport and crane work, civil engineering, demolition, industrial cleaning and environmental service sectors. "We have made a reputation for ourselves as a service provider for oil and gas companies", says Managing Director Joachim Küpers. "Our mobile cranes are used, for example, for loading work and for erecting and dismantling systems. The heavy pumps used in this industry can weigh up to 30 tonnes."
Overall, Küpers operates twelve mobile cranes with lifting capacities of up to 220 tonnes. They also include a Liebherr LTR 1060 telescopic crawler crane which delivers outstanding all-terrain manoeuvrability. Küpers also has a wide range of other construction machines for its other business sectors. The family-run company has a workforce of over 200 and is active both throughout Germany and beyond its borders.
