Television Under Siege
By Adva Segelman Last updated Apr 16, 2013
Recent Israeli and American Dramas Reveal a Common Mentality
by Nitzan Ben Shaul and Adva Segelman
Siege mentality, as defined by Daniel Bar Tal, is defined as the belief that a hostile world is bent on one's destruction. This belief, once embraced, can create a new reality, distorting perceptions and prompting a total reorganising of social and political values. In over-reacting to perceived threats, the group under siege will insist upon absolute unity, tagging as a fifth column any individuals not signed up to the group agenda. Above all, preserving the belief becomes paramount, prompting the selective gathering of information and biasing of inconclusive evidence to this end. The mentality of siege may be triggered by an unexpected war or terror attack.
The 9/11 Al-Qaeda attacks on the World Trade Center triggered a siege mentality in the US that placed it in direct sympathy with the ongoing siege mentality of Israel. In his address to the Israeli parliament's ''Special Solidarity Session'' on September 16, 2001, Ariel Sharon was quick to frame their common cause: ''Last week, the empire of terrorism struck at the heart of our courageous friend, the greatest democracy on earth—the United States of America. We have assembled here today in Jerusalem, the capital of Israel, the capital of the only democracy in the Middle East, in order to bow our heads in sorrow and deep mourning over the deaths of innocent citizens in New York and Washington . . . The issue of terrorism—to my regret—is not new to us. The State of Israel has been fighting Arab, Palestinian and Islamic fundamentalist terrorism for over 120 years. Thousands of Jews have been murdered in terrorist attacks . . . The pain of the bereaved American people is familiar to us—very familiar to us . . . We were not surprised . . . actions against Israeli citizens are no different from bin Laden's terrorism against American citizens. . . the President of the United States has warmly thanked us for the help that we have already provided. If we are invited, we will join because we are already fighting terrorism in any case.''
Sharon's address, an honest expression of solidarity, was designed to enlist the US support of Israel's position during the Al Aqsa intifada (2000-2005), the Palestinian uprising characterised by suicide bombings that spread terror among Israelis. The intifada had rekindled Israeli society's siege mentality and led to harsh retaliatory measures: aerial strikes, targeted killings and violent incursions into Palestinian towns. For Sharon, the crashing of Al-Qaeda's suicide jet into the Twin Towers enabled the conflation of terror' with Arab, Palestinian and Islamic fundamentalist'. For the US, the shocking attack on the symbol of American economic muscle created a siege mentality which, arguably, prompted the global war on terror—a series of ongoing military, intelligence, diplomatic, and financial operations worldwide; including harsh measures against Afghanistan (one of the world's poorest nations) followed by the unrelated toppling of Saddam Hussein in a military invasion and consequent occupation that devastated Iraq. The war on terror ushered in a wave of unprecedented security measures designed to contain suspect fifth column elements culminating in the establishment of the Department of Homeland Security, under whose authority the Bush administration placed the U.S. Coast Guard; Customs Service; Immigration and Naturalization Service and Border Patrol; the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service of the Department of Agriculture; the Transportation Security Administration; and the Secret Service.
Hatufim (Abductees) is an Israeli TV hit series created by Gideon Raff and is an eloquent, stylish and suspenseful televisual expression of Israeli siege mentality. The story of two captured IDF reservists who return to their families after seventeen years in captivity, the drama turns upon the tortuous reintegration process of these national heroes and the growing fear that they may have been turned' during their captivity. The series presents Israeli society as encircled in a terrifying dead end, an effect achieved by the tight web of mutually suspicious, inter-related characters who drive the story forward. Instead of warmth and love, the family of the returning captives becomes a source of lies and mistrust; years of absence have wrought havoc on the psychic health of the unit.
The abductees themselves are physically and emotionally scarred. Beyond the ordeal of trying to re-enter into family life, their victimisation is compounded by relentless interrogation by the IDF psychiatrist charged with uncovering their suspected plot against the state. The ugliness of this suspicious mentality is highlighted by disturbing flashbacks of the abductees' captivity—beatings, electrocution, a repeated close-up of the scar caused by an embedded screwdriver, twisted daily by changing captors. Could these miserable returnees really be agents of terror, a fifth column?
'Instead of warmth and love, the family of the returning captives becomes a source of lies and mistrust'
Israeli siege mentality is a phenomenon derived from historical experiences, religious traditions and state ideology. It stems from recent experiences of conventional war and acts of terror, as well as from sporadic condemnations of Israel by world organisations. Combined, these evoke for Israeli Jews the long history personal and collective trauma that culminates in the holocaust. This history is codified via deeply ingrained biblical religious tenets based upon Jews being a chosen people (Am Nivchar), alone among the nations (Am Levadad Yishkon), with no one but God almighty and their own resources to protect them in a hostile world. The biblical people of Amalek who sought to destroy the Jews have become the symbol of Israel's enemies, past, present and future. Furthermore, since the late 1950s, Israel's dominant ideology has used the collective remembrance of persecution and suffering to sustain the idea that the world is against Israel because it is a Jewish state.
Night Notes
A Roadmap To Grief
The Amazing Spider-Man And The Incredible Ayn Rand
The symptoms of siege mentality embedded in the Hatufim narrative are enhanced by visual and aural configurations depicting slow paced, claustrophobic spaces; at Nimrod's coming home party, he is recurrently shown in a blurred facial close-up that—along with the loud voices of the people surrounding him—convey a sense of suffocation. The scene cuts abruptly to a shot taken as if from below a water-filled sink into which Nimrod immerses his head until he cannot breathe.
Likewise, the room within the IDF treatment facility in which the returned abductees undergo assessment by the IDF psychiatrist is small, barren and dark, monitored through surveillance cameras that are also used to follow their every move whilst in the facility. Finally, intense claustrophobia is conveyed during the flashbacks to captivity scenes where we see dark, diminutive cells in which the abductees are being held and tortured along with facial close ups showing pain, tears, sweat and fearful eyes. The other characters are presented as anxious and suspicious: all appear lost, confused and in despair. These configurations formally and thematically embed the notion of Israel being a besieged nation. Through the societal repercussions of the abductees' return and their vague threat to national security, Hatufim lays the blame for Israeli society's moral, emotional and psychological scars squarely at the feet of terror'—an overarching unspecified Arab, Palestinian and Islamic fundamentalist terror organisation.
In recent months, Hatufim and its expression of siege has been reformatted for American audiences in a series (currently on Sky Arts) called, more appropriately, Homeland. The series is produced by Howard Gordon and Alex Ganza (who produced the earlier siege-determined series, 24) in association with Gideon Raff himself, and is a hymn to homeland security and the war against terror.As far as the first season goes, it provides a fascinating index of a shared yet divergent siege mentality.
Hatufim and Homeland both address the threat of terror and its devastating societal repercussions through the return of long-held prisoners of war and the problems—both familial and national—their return brings about. But the shows differ in thematic focus, refracting each country's unique siege mentality through contrasting televisual and narrative configurations. Homeland encoded the US siege response to the trauma of 9/11—a hurried retaliatory response directed at concrete' enemy targets (terror-hosting states)—in its narrative structure, characterisation and audiovisual fabric. In contrast with Hatufim's multi-character development, legato plot line and claustrophobic spatial figuration, Homeland is a pacy, action-packed thriller in which individualistic heroes battle against the Al-Qaeda threat. The suffocating enclosed spaces of Hatufim are replaced by America's expansive landscapes and Washington's imposing urban monuments, underscoring the primacy of homeland security and American super-power status. Accordingly, Homeland focuses most of its attention upon one of the turned' POWs—U.S. Marine Sergeant Nicholas Brody (Damian Lewis). Contrasting with Hatufim's returnees— broken men, unable to engage with their families, the media or their cheering public—Brody assumes the role of the all American hero, manipulating the press and society with panache. In Homeland, POWs are not, as in Hatufim, the wounded children of the state, but autonomous and independent individuals. While the Israeli army is mostly based on an obligatory three year service for everybody, followed by a month of reserve duty up to the age of 45, the US army is professional and does not involve the entire population. As a result, the two governments have quite different responsibilities to their soldiers; in Israel, a captured soldier occupies headlines on a daily basis, pressuring the government to negotiate and pay a high price for his release. Conversely, the American press hardly mentions POWs, and the US government conducts its tough negotiations far from the public eye. Consider the media campaign and unprecedented price paid by the Israeli government for the recently released soldier Gilad Shalit (held in captivity by Hamas during the production of Hatufim), as opposed to the case of US Army soldier Bowe Robert Bergdahl, still held by the Taliban after his capture in 2009. Negotiations stalled over the Taliban's demand that he be exchanged for five Taliban detainees held at the Guantanamo Bay Military Prison (Bowe Bergdahl's family is the first in years to mount a meaningful public campaign for his release).
Homeland eschews the complexity of Hatufim's web of social and familial links in favour of a simple cast of individual characters. Countering Brody is CIA agent Carrie Mathison (Claire Danes), still traumatised by her part in a botched mission in Iraq that might have prevented the 9/11 attacks. Determined to make up for her mistake, she locks upon Brody, striving to uncover his turn' and block his scheme by any means possible – including an affair. Symptomatic of the siege syndrome, both Carrie and Brody are traumatised individuals, her wide-eyed, frantic expression hints at a bi-polar disorder and she operates at a high level of constant stress.
Above all Homeland is a masterful thriller, packed with suspense and episodic cliff-hangers, through which Carrie, the CIA and the FBI conspire to stop Brody's suspected Al-Qaeda directed scheme. During Brody's interrogation by Carrie, he denies ever having met Al-Qaeda chief Abu-Nazir but towards the end of the episode, Brody is shown jogging, intercut with flashbacks of him with Abu Nazir. In a surprising end to the episode, the action cuts to a long shot of Brody after his run in front of the Capitol, drawing a link between his contact with Al-Qaeda and the possible target of his suspected terror attack. This surprise/suspense story structure, characteristic of US televisuality, also echoes the format of the US siege mentality of surprise-to-targeted-action.
Finally, contrary to Hatufim's suffocating and claustrophobic spatial deployment, the space of Homeland is agoraphobic, accentuating, through long aerial or craning shots interspersed with scenes of murderous conspiracy, the threat upon the expansive American landscapes and the imposing urban monuments of Washington DC.
Over the decades, the special friendship of Israel and the US can be measured in favours from the latter to the former: in money, arms and abstentions at the UN voting chambers. But since 9/11 the relationship has become inverted, as republican policy makers have used the language and techniques of the Israeli security discourse to establish their own. In the name of America's domestic security and global war on terror, Israeli companies have been called upon to provide anti-terrorist advice, technology and intelligence services. Through the combined impact of Hatufim and Homeland this process reverberates both culturally and ideologically. Captivating a new generation, for whom the terrorist attacks of the early 2000s are a blur, the siege mentality is created anew and the work to build a national culture of fear continues.

Maduro calls on U.S. to fully lift sanctions on Venezuela's oil industry – Xinhua English.news.cn
Maduro Calls on U.S. to Completely Lift Sanctions on Venezuelan Oil Sector
Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, December 1. Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro said on November 30 that although the United States' limited recovery of crude oil exploration in Venezuela is "correct" in direction, it is "insufficient". Oil industry sanctions.
Maduro said at a news conference on the same day that the U.S. Treasury Department last week approved the resumption of some oil operations in Venezuela by the U.S. oil company Chevron, which was a step in the "right direction." However, he said that this move "failed to meet the requirements of the Venezuelan side" and "we demand (the US) to completely lift the sanctions on Venezuela's oil industry", and the US measures violated international trade rules.
On September 18, 2021, in Mexico City, the capital of Mexico, Venezuelan President Maduro delivered a speech at the Sixth Community of Latin American and Caribbean States Summit.Published by Xinhua News Agency (Photo provided by Venezuelan News Agency)
Given Venezuela's status in international energy markets, "the idea of removing Venezuela from the world economy is a bad idea," Maduro said, and the U.S. is paying the price.
Maduro also demanded that the U.S. return the assets of Petroleos de Venezuela's branch in the U.S., Citgo Petroleum, including the $4 billion in dividends distributed by the oil refiner from 2019 to 2022, saying that this is the Venezuelan government's continued dialogue with the country's opposition. important" premise.
Maduro won re-election in presidential elections held in May 2018. The United States does not recognize the results of this election, and supports Juan Guaido, an opposition figure who proclaimed himself the "interim president" of Venezuela, in an attempt to overthrow the Maduro government.

Venezuela cut off diplomatic relations with the United States in January 2019, and the United States has continued to expand economic sanctions against Venezuela, including prohibiting the import of Venezuelan crude oil and freezing the assets of Venezuelan oil companies in the United States. The U.S. first handed over the assets of Citrogo Petroleum to the Guaido camp, and later in 2019 they were transferred to ConocoPhillips to take over.
The Venezuelan government and opposition representatives held a political dialogue in Mexico City, the capital of Mexico, on November 26. The two sides signed a phased agreement and agreed to set up a fund managed by the United Nations to provide support for Venezuela's social security projects. Part of the funds required came from Venezuela's frozen overseas assets.
The U.S. Treasury Department issued a statement on the same day saying that the signing of the agreement between the Venezuelan government and the opposition to establish a fund was an "important step", announcing the issuance of a license to Chevron Petroleum Corporation, allowing the company to resume limited crude oil exploration operations in Venezuela.

Venezuela's oil reserves are among the largest in the world. The crisis in Ukraine has exacerbated the tension in global energy supply, and to a certain extent, pushed the international community to speed up the resolution of Venezuela's plight of sanctions. Agence France-Presse interpreted that the United States' relaxation of restrictions on Chevron's operations in Venezuela means that Venezuela is expected to return to the global oil market.
However, the U.S. made it clear that the U.S. will advance the lifting of sanctions against Venezuela only after the Venezuelan government and the opposition reach an agreement on matters related to Venezuela's 2024 presidential election. (Liu Xi)

UK Government Releases Position Paper on Data Sharing and Protection Outside the EU
September 6, 2017 By Alexander Kay
The UK government has published a Brexit position paper on data protection titled: The exchange and protection of personal data – A future Partnership Paper. It proffers the UK government's position on data sharing and protection post-Brexit.
The paper illustrates that the UK government is attempting to show consistency towards protecting data. For instance, the UK government's commitment to seek an adequacy decision from the European Commission to maintain the free flow of data will ensure that the UK and EU's data protection frameworks will be aligned when Britain leaves the EU. Moreover, the paper suggests that the Information Commissioner's Office could still contribute to the drafting of future EU regulation. Following the release of the paper, the government has emphasized stability and closeness with the EU where data sharing is concerned.
In response to the paper, political consultant Andrew McQuillan has written an opinion piece for Public Technologies.net exploring the strengths and weaknesses of the government's stance on data regulation in post-Brexit Britain. He argues the UK's Investigatory Powers Act, criticised in 2016 by the European Court of Justice, is seen as contradictory to the EU's interpretation of basic human rights. If both sides can't compromise on this issue – and adequacy agreement reached – a final arrangement may be fundamentally undermined.
Mr McQuillan concludes: "This is arguably one of the least controversial areas of Brexit and given the mutual interest on both sides a resolution should be achievable… However, as with much of Brexit, the failure to reach an agreement is the real danger which could harm government and business alike."

Supergirl Stars Melissa Benoist and Chris Wood Are Engaged.
This Hollywood couple is officially out of the market.
Supergirl co-stars Melissa Benoist and Chris Wood are married! The famous couple tied the knot on Sunday, E! News can only confirm. Make the big day of the couple even more special? They were accompanied by guests, including their CW family, including Kevin Smith, Odette Annable and Paul Wesley.
The duo exchanged vows on a private estate in Ojai, California. "It was a beautiful setting for a very peaceful and quiet wedding," one source tells E! News pointing to the ceremony took place next to a swimming pool. "The vows were short and lasted about 15 minutes. There was a lot of cheers and applause when it ended."
The reception that followed was held in an adjacent grove, where long tables were set up for all guests. "There were many glowing candles and lights above," the insider adds. "The food was served family style and everyone went the dishes back and forth."
"It looked like an elegant outdoor dinner," the source continues. "There was a lot of laughter and happiness."
The news about the couple's wedding comes almost six months after they have announced their engagement. In February the two shared their "happiest" news on social media. "yes yes yes it will always be yes", the actress wrote her Instagram, on which she kissed Wood on the cheek. Of course, her enormous engagement ring was fully visible.
For his part, Chris also shared the new one, with the same title, "The happiest".
The love story of the couple is a cute story, because the two met on the set of CW's Supergirl. In fact, the 30-year-old actor played the love of Melissa in the popular TV series, and … as the saying goes, the rest is history!
Apart from their off-the-screen chemistry on the small screen, the two things apparently made official in March 2017 when they were noticed on the PDA during a trip in Mexico. The actors "kissed passionately several times" and "seemed to be in their own world," an eyewitness told E! The news from the couple at the time. "They didn't seem to care who saw their passionate hugs."
The former Glee actress was previously married to her co-star Blake Jenner. The two made the knot in 2013, but at the end of 2016, Melissa filed a divorce. Their divorce was completed in 2017.
Congratulations to Melissa and Chris with this exciting new chapter in their relationship!

Erythrosuchus africanus — вид вымерших пресмыкающихся из семейства эритрозухид (Erythrosuchidae), живших во времена триасового периода (анизийский век) на территории Южной Африки. Типовой и единственный вид в роде Erythrosuchus.

История изучения

Ископаемые остатки, относящиеся к виду, найдены в зоне Cynognathus группы Бофорта в Кару (ЮАР), а также в формации Omingonde  Намибии.

Новые вид и род описаны Робертом Брумом в 1905 году на основании голотипа SAM 905, представляющего из себя частичный скелет: части конечностей (правая плечевая, лучевая и локтевая кости), грудного и тазового пояса (правая лопатка и коракоид, часть левой и правая подвздошные кости, седалищная и лобковая кости, многочисленные ребра) и несколько позвонков.

Подробное описание вида было дано немецким палеонтологом Фридрихом фон Хюне в 1911 году. Ископаемый материал, послуживший основой для этого описания, сейчас находится в Музее естественной истории в Лондоне. Как и голотип, он очень фрагментарный, и некоторые части могут даже принадлежать тому же животному, что и SAM 905. Ещё один экземпляр, известный как BMNH R 3592, является более полным, с большей частью посткраниального скелета.

Первоначально род сближался с фитозаврами и отрядом Pelycosimia, позднее была показана его принадлежность к Archosauriformes и эритрозухидами.

Описание
Erythrosuchus africanus был крупнейшим эритрозухидом, а также крупнейшим наземным хищником своего времени и достигал в длину до 5 метров. Относительно большая голова с мощными челюстями и короткие сильные ноги помогали ему охотиться на других животных.

В позднем триасе экологическая ниша, оставленная Erythrosuchus africanus, была заполнена такими существами, как Saurosuchus и Postosuchus.

'Rock star' Palin doesn't disappoint 20,000 strong
Lee Cable
write the author
At a place that is used to hosting rock and country music stars, Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin held her own in crowd attendance and fans on Friday, giving a stump speech that had many chanting such slogans as "Drill, Baby, Drill" and "USA! USA!" and, at times, cheering before she could even finish a sentence.
Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, the Republican nominee for vice president, above right, addresses some 20,000 faithful, many waving American flags, red-and-white pom-poms and signs that read "Maverick" and "Read My Lipstick," at the Verizon Wireless Music Center in Noblesville late Friday afternoon. (Photos by Chris Adams)
The rally, held at Verizon Wireless Music Center at Noblesville, just outside of Indianapolis, drew a crowd of about 20,000, some of which came from as far away as Ohio, Illinois and Kentucky to see the new star of the McCain campaign.
The Alaska governor, who many believe energized the fledgling campaign, came prepared to rally the troops, and if the cheers from the crowd were any indication, she succeeded in her quest.
"For me, it's the economy and wages," said Wayne Flick, an off-duty Indiana State Police officer. "I'm afraid if we elect the other guys, things will just get worse."
Flick, who admits to being a Democrat at one time, likes what has happened in Indiana under a Republican administration.
"I haven't always been a Republican," he said, "but I've gotten a little older and, I hope, a little wiser. And my views have changed. I got behind Mitch Daniels right from the start and I'm pleased with everything he has accomplished (as governor). I believe John McCain and Sarah Palin will do a good job for the country, also."
After a trio of songs from country-music star Aaron Tippin, Palin was introduced and immediately turned on her best Hoosier hospitality, saying that "it is easy to see why Indiana is known as the 'Crossroads of America,' " and announced that the movie "Hoosiers" is at the top of the list of her all-time favorite films. Then, the vice presidential candidate got down to the business at hand.
Following her speech, Palin walked through the immediate crowd, holding babies, including this one, above left, dressed in GOP attire, and shaking hands. For more photos, visit www.clarionnews.net.
"You all know the stakes in this election are important," she said. "The choice will be yours — and we must carry this state. Are you ready to send us to Washington, D.C.?"
The crowd answered with an uproar that could not be confused with anything other than an affirmative response.
"You have an opportunity to choose between a politician and a leader," Palin continued. "A politician who wants to raise taxes. We want to cut taxes — our opponent wants to raise them. Sen. Obama says he wants to spread the wealth. I call that bad medicine for the economy — and we're calling him on it."
The Indiana stop was a first for Palin since she was picked as McCain's running mate, and with polls indicating the state is up for grabs, more visits are likely by both parties. Obama's campaign, flush with money from recent fundraising attempts, will most likely increase the number of commercials airing in the state during the next two weeks, even though no Democratic presidential candidate has carried Indiana since 1964.
"Here, in the home of the Indy 500, you all know something about close races," Palin told the crowd. "And you know how to sprint to the finish line. That's why I'm here. Our opponent wants to talk about the past. John McCain is looking forward, toward the future. That's where you find solutions. And if our opponent wanted to run against George Bush, he should have run four years ago."
Palin has given a few carefully chosen interviews that many believe were less than helpful for the campaign.
"I gave a national interview recently and it didn't go over too well," Palin told the crowd. "I was just giving Tina Fey more material for her sketches."
Tina Fey, the "Saturday Night Live" comedian, has portrayed Palin on the show recently. The real Palin dropped by the show Saturday night, sending ratings on the show their highest levels in 14 years.
"She looks just like Tina Fey," Barbara Konkle, of Scottsburg, said with a laugh. "I was hoping she would say something new here — something besides the same speech she always gives — but I don't think she added much. I still haven't decided who I'll vote for, but she has made a difference in the campaign, at least for me. I'd vote for Sarah before I'd vote for McCain. Choosing Sarah was the smartest thing McCain has done during this campaign."
Although Palin touched on the war in Iraq, her focus during the speech was clearly on the economy.
"Our country is facing hard economic times," Palin said. "We need a leader with quick judgment, one that will take the country in a new direction. We need John McCain. We need to keep families in their homes. We need to be able to pay for college for our children. We need to help all of us afford good health care. There is now a $10-trillion debt the government has run up. If you're in a hole, and don't want to be there — stop digging. John McCain will invoke a spending freeze. He will balance the Federal budget by the end of our first term. Our track record shows that we can reform. We've seen wasteful spending and abuse of power. John McCain will end it — once and for all. The best of America is not found in Washington, D.C., but right here."

At the end of the night i started to try out Unreal Engine 4 to see how to get it working with my voxel models. I found many ups and downs as i played around with it.
First off in the first image we can see a setup i made using a Turn based game blueprint. The blueprint system made by Unreal is actually really easy to comprehend and is relatively straight forward at the surface. The dialogues make sense and Unreal is nice enough to implement a help system/tutorial that guides you in each new section you encounter. Overall the entrance to Unreal wasn't as overwhelming as i expected.
Once i started the blueprint system i decided to start importing assets. I figured that of all things, importing assets should be known to me first since i create them all the time and this is most likely what i'll run into most often in the future.
The second image shows the 2 assets i made within Qubicle for testing in Unreal. The cherry blossom tree and an octagonal tile. Knowing that the OBJ exporter in Qubicle 2.0 is much more refined i decided to make my assets in Qubicle 1.6 (as i normally do) and then use Qubicle 2.0 as the middle man when transferring assets. Originally i was doing this strictly for the mesh exporting, later i found out i'd be using Q2 for many more reasons.
The Third and Fourth images are what happened when i transfered the models from Qubicle 2.0 to Unreal Engine as OBJ files. As you can see, the Cherry blossom is rotated along the Y axis while the Platform looks completely fine. The cherry blossom tree was my first try at importing assets. Since the tree was a random prop i figured having it rotated like that isn't much of a big deal since i can rotate the object in Unreal no problem. However, this was a no go for the tiled platform. The tiled platform originally imported rotated like the tree and that couldn't be something i would keep or else i'd have to take into consideration the rotation of the object when writing a tiling system (which in this case already exists within the blueprint). What i noticed and what you can see in the fourth photo is that the pivot location of the tiled platform is actually on the left hand side of the model, why is that? Is it ok?
It turns out that the pivot location within Unreal 4 is completely different to Qubicle 2.0, both in its orientation and value. The fifth image is what i had to do to the tile piece in Qubicle 2.0 for it to come out the way it did in Unreal 4. Not only did i have to rotate the model in Qubicle but i had to relocate the pivot point on the model (and in the end it still didn't come out centered in Unreal, c'mon!).
In the end i managed to get both files in and working with the tiling script written within the blueprint. I exported the Qubicle models as OBJ with all export functions on and as a single mesh. When importing into Unreal i had to increase the Unit value to 5 for it to scale as it seems in the last image. (i think it's still a tad too small, will go through further testing).
Unreal Engine 4 was fun to use for the first time. Some tweaks were annoying and now knowing what i had to adjust makes me feel a lot better with the tool. Next would be for me to actually start implementing the functions on the objects and replace the player models with something more fitting to my style. I'd also like to go and try out the animation system considering they support FBX in these newer builds. The lighting system in Unreal is a lot of fun to play with and looks fantastic, even with voxel models at the resolution of the cherry tree! The camera controls are a lot more fluid and usable that the ones from Unity and i feel like i can get a lot more done in here. All in all i like what I see and will continue working with the tool. Maybe i'll eventually be able to make something on my own within unreal, who knows.

Ludwika Paleta Speaks Out to Defend Husband Emiliano Salinas
Quien Magazine got an interview with Ludwika Paleta, the actress wife of Emiliano Salinas. She is evidently back in Mexico but without her husband.
His whereabouts are unknown.
The Quien story was written by Arturo Perea.
I am going to attempt to translate the Spanish language story into English. I will also make a few editorial comments when appropriate [in brackets and in bold]
Ludwika Paleta broke her long silence and for the first time has spoken of the scandal in which her husband, Emiliano Salinas, is involved.
Salinas was named by the United States Attorney's Office as an accomplice of Keith Raniere, the leader of the NXIVM cult, who was convicted of sex trafficking, racketeering, wire fraud, identity theft, forced labor conspiracy, and other crimes.
After spending some time on vacation in Europe, the actress returned to Mexico and said that her husband is well and happy. Despite rumors to the contrary, she said they continue to maintain a relationship of union and love.
"It has been a difficult process. Fortunately, this situation has already been resolved in the United States courts. It has been clarified. Emiliano was not called to testify and he was not mentioned. We are calm and happy that this has already been settled. There is an ongoing legal process where there are still things to resolve but we think it will work out quite well for us, "said the actress on her way out of the Milan Theater, where reporters were waiting for her.
"It has been a hard and bitter time for us, for everyone. I think the most important thing is to make it clear that both Emiliano and I are against and repudiate any act of violence and any act of denigrating any human being, "said the actress.
Paleta took the opportunity to make it clear that there is no distancing with her husband as stated by a show magazine. Paleta said she supports Emiliano, and they have faced a crisis.
"We are together and we are strong and we are well and I will always support him," she said.
Paleta said that she has a clean conscience, that she has nothing to hide and that people who know her know that she and her partner have not hurt anyone.
Asked about the rumors that she has been branded by the sex cult, like other women who denounced Raniere.
Paleta said that many things were reported and that this notion of her being branded is totally false.
"Many things are said but that is not so. There are many things that are said not only of me but of many people [in Nxivm] that are not true. All I can say is that I am calm, we [Emi and I] are fine. I will start working hard and I have taken this time off to be with my family [during the Nxivm crisis. The couple has twins], " she added.
Emiliano, a businessman and the son of former Mexican president Carlos Salinas de Gortari, was named by a prosecutor [Moira Penza] in federal court in Brooklyn, New York, as "co-conspirator." He created several email accounts used to discredit enemies [and illegally investigate] of the Nxivm organization he ran [with] Keith Raniere, where women were branded on the pelvic area [with Raniere's initials] and forced to have sex with Raniere.
Following the controversy that erupted in the media, Salinas published a statement claiming that as soon as he learned about the practices in the organization, he broke all ties with Raniere and the cult.
[That is not exactly true as his recorded conversations with Toni Zarattini prove. Salinas knew about the branding and was still trying to keep Nxivm together. This was prior to any media other than the Frank Report writing about the branding and blackmail scheme. To hear Salinas defending the blackmail practice see Grabaciones de audio originales reales de Emiliano Salinas y Toni Zarattini – en español].
[Paleta did not say what she is doing with her Albany house that she purchased at the time of the branding scandal and has not been seen at since Raniere fled to Mexico prior to his arrest.]
Ludwika's Albany home.
Ludwika bought a home at 18 Silo in Waterford, NY – just a few minutes walk to Keith Raniere's home at 21 Oregon Trail.
Emiliano's wife, Ludwika Paleta, sources in Nxivm told me, is an open relationship with Emiliano Salinas. She is reported to have bedded at least one Nxivm male member. It is not known if Raniere himself provided Paleta with sexual mentoring as he did with many of his women followers.
Emiliano, Ludwika and Carlos Salinas at the wedding.
Keith Raniere was the guru of Salinas. Sources who were in Nxivm up until the arrest of Raniere say that Emiliano wanted to leave Nxivm for about a year, but agreed to remain with the organization to help it during its crisis.
Ludwika is known as a sexpot actress.
Three DOS slaves found at the Silver Bay beach at Vanguard Week 2017. Jacquelin Ronay and the two Hubers. [Ludwika] 'Mika' Paleta sends her approval.
Mexican actress Ludwika Paleta married Emiliano Salinas in 2013.
Finally, it should be noted that Ludwika came back to Mexico alone, without her husband. Frank Report previously reported that sources said he had fled the USA and was considering living in Cuba in the event he was to be indicted. He was seen in the UK and posed for a picture shortly after my Cuba story was published. That story was picked up in Mexico on dozens of media outlets.
So where is Emiliano now?
Is he still in the UK? Or has he gone elsewhere? Will he return to Mexico? Right now he is highly unpopular due to the horrific media he obtained through his association with Nxivm.
If he is indicted in the US, he might face extradition from Mexico. In Cuba and some other nations, he might be safe. There is no guarantee he will be indicted.
So where is Emiliano?
Paleta says she was not branded and it might be true. She appears nude in films and the brand might be a detriment to her acting career. But is she a DOS slave? Did she quit DOS? These are questions she might be asked. But, of course, DOS women are taught to lie to preserve the secrecy of the sorority.
That does not mean Paleta is in DOS today. I think it highly unlikely. But there was a time when Ludwika was highly supportive of Nxivm, its teachings and her husband's role as the Nxivm leader of Mexico.
Further statements from her and from Emiliano about Raniere and how they feel about him and his teachings today would be welcome.
Both Emiliano and Ludwika are welcome to give complete and extensive comments about their time in Nxivm and their epiphany and awakening that prompted them to leave.
Not only will their comments receive ample attention on Frank Report and its readers but will also likely be reported on in Mexican media since this case is of particular interest to the Mexican people.

Mary T says:
Thank you so much, Frank Parlato, for all your investigations of NXIVM slaves sex cult of Keith Alan Raniere, Carlos Emiliano Salinas Occeli, all staff and the Group DOS of sexual slaves CULT. You opened the eyes of the Mexican society that we see all this very bad example and all this is NOT acceptable by the Mexican society. We have principles, values and good moral. Please continue to inform all your investigations on the matter and Emiliano Salinas that we know he tried to evade any future justice in other countries that do not have extradition laws with the U.S.A.
Muchas Gracias Frank Parlato por todas sus investigaciones y informarnos acerca de NXIVM el culto de esclavas sexuales de Keith Alan Raniere y Carlos Emiliano Salinas Occeli, su personal y el Culto del grupo DOS todo eso es inaceptable y denigrante para la sociedad Mexicana, en nuestras generaciones siempre han existido los principios y valores humanos sobretodo el comportamiento de buena moral y este tipo de situaciones denigran y destruyen los valores y la dignidad de la mujer, por favor siga informandonos acerca del caso y las situaciones legales de Emiliano Salinas que sabemos esta huyendo a paises donde no haya tratado de extradicion con U.S.A
What a liar.

Dianne Lipson says:
"It has been a difficult process. Fortunately, this situation has already been resolved in the United States courts. It has been clarified. Emiliano was not called to testify and he was not mentioned."
Emiliano most certainly was "mentioned,"
According to this Univision article here, https://www.univision.com/univision-news/latin-america/son-of-former-mexican-president-is-co-conspirator-of-new-york-sex-cult-guru-prosecutor-says :
"U.S. federal prosecutors identified Emiliano Salinas, the son of former Mexican President Carlos Salinas de Gortari, as an alleged co-conspirator of the founder of a secret cult who is on trial in Brooklyn for sex trafficking, money laundering and other crimes, according to legal documents obtained by Univision."
As usual, the French come to the party too little, too late: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/france-investigating-jeffrey-epstein-ties-1231122 It's the usual, "The Germans invaded our country (twice), who is going to push them out?"

Fake News, Mexican Style says:
Bahahahahahaha
What a crock of bull shit
My husband didn't have to testify.
The US DOJ couldn't get the Mexican authorities to extradite her husband.
I doubt the DOJ wanted Salinas to testify. He would have been less helpful than Mack. At least she knew things that could have helped make the government's case, but she's too nutty. Salinas is just plain stupid.
I am signing off. My spouse is dying. I don't care about this minutiae anymore – stupid actresses, etc. – other than that KAR gets what he richly deserves. He hurt many of people of all ages (oops – "in my opinion") – male and female, rich and poor. My thanks to the many thoughtful and astute posters here – you all know who you are. That includes those who have not been seen in ages. Thank you for your efforts and fidelity.
I appreciate your kind words over time. Do not give up the fight.!
Heidi, Niceguy, Nutjob, VanDouche, Ionwhitepoetry, Pyriel, Flowers, Somebody, and so many more! Please forgive me if I have not mentioned you by name.
Best wishes for you and your husband.
Thank you, Shadow. I will be reading.
Appeti says:
I've always valued your posts. You will be missed.
Prayers for your husband.
Peaches says:
Many blessings to you and your husband. I've enjoyed reading you in the comment section and wish you well.
Heidi Hutchinson says:
So sorry to see you go and hear of your woes with your spouse, Orange. You've made a tremendous contribution to this blog, I've much appreciated your deftly expressed insights and perspective on NX's background from their CBI days.
I don't want to intrude on your time left with loved ones but may take you up on the offer to check in by email regarding my NX-entangled situation with my son and ex at some point.
Thanks again for all you've done — your encouragement and brightness will also be missed!
Heidi, thanks. I might have panicked – Today we have options from the doctor.. Not excellent, but we all are terminal, you know?
I would like to keep on reading and posting if I have anything worthwhile to say. I've probably said all I have. As readers will know ad naueam (that is spelled wrong – I know that for a fact) , I draw a parallel between Jim Jones and KAR..
KAR will never have a spouse to love him. In that we can take some satisfaction.
Natashka says:
So sorry to hear this. Best wishes to you and your spouse. I wish you strength at this difficult time. X
Orange County Dreams,
I am so sorry to learn this news. I wish you and your husband well!
I have greatly enjoyed your posts and fresh perspectives. Take care!
Those two are so completely in love with themselves, that they couldn't possibly also be in love with each other.
A Narcissist's Prayer
And if it did, it wasn't that bad.
And if it was, that's not a big deal.
And if it is, that's not my fault.
And if it was, I didn't mean it.
And if I did…
You deserved it.
– Anon
Hahahaha – Perfect! Could very possibly be the Raniere creed.
As for all the side characters – they strike me as a pack of self involved idiots.
Top notch reporting!
orangecountydreams- OCD says:
Many thanks, Niceguy.
All of Them Witches says:
Ludwika:
I will be passing through Clifton Park on my way to Saratoga at the end of this week. If you want, I could stop by for a dip (in your pool of course). We could head over to the track and you can watch me get separated from my money, much in the way your husband and his Vanguard separated thousands of lost souls from millions of dollars. At least I have some (small) chance of getting my money back.
We can review some pictures from Frank Report and I will, once again, try to convince you that real men do not wear green shirts and dance for the benefit of other men, and real Harvard graduates (like your husband and "Nippie" aka Mr. Sarah Edmondson) do not and should not take direction from a man who was hard-pressed to earn a diploma from RPI.
Thanks, Frank, for running pictures of this "sexpot actress". I was getting very tired of the endless pictures of the ditzy waifs, Mack, Kreuk and Clyne, none of whom I found particularly pulchritudinous even before they were put on concentration camp diets.
One thing all of these women have in common: I had never heard of a single one of them until I started reading the Frank Report. But (with apologies to the other Frank, Old Blue Eyes), Ludwika has gotten under my skin. Expect multiple frenzied posts from me in the future either defending her or character assassinating her, I haven't decided yet.
foolishPride says:
All of Them Witches—–
A word to the wise: if something actually happens to Ludwika's house, guess who the number one suspect is? Hope you have an alibi if Fate decides to visit. You are playing a silly game.
foolishPride:
Thanks, I see your point.
Nothing like "words to the wise" from someone who calls themselves "foolish"?
But you are right. After all the threats (?) I made against Domrod Ludwika (aka Casa Paleta) in my post (I guess someone translated it into Spanish for you?), a meeting at the sexpot's home would be unwise. If the law came a calling, I would just hide in the closet anyway, like a real Vanguard does.
So change of plans Ludwika: Meet me on Caroline Street in Saratoga Springs on Saturday night. I will be wearing a tee shirt that says "Fuck me, I have a 2.6 GPA and a flaccid penis." That should make it easy for Ludwika (and the police) to find "the number one suspect."
Horse racing is a silly game. Making irreverent posts on the Frank Report is a silly game. Both are relatively harmless forms of self amuse. Like you say, "silly".
There is silly and then there is "stupid". Stupid like devoting one's life to or spending one's money on a convicted con man/sex trafficker.
A word to the foolish: You are playing a stupid game.
Why didn't Ludwika return to her lovely home in Saratoga County?
Will NXIVM Mexico be holding a V Week celebration South of the Border?
And Ludwika, ask your husband how the weather is in Havana.
I'd take her statement with a grain of salt – or two.
Maybe they do have some curious but satisfactory sort of relationship, but she's probably also got a good publicist advising her not to stir up controversy regardless; and if she were say angling for an eventual divorce settlement, she would be wise to be demonstrating that she could be counted on to keep up appearances so long as she is well-kept.
Hey Sultan says:
Tell us why Paleta wouldn't be a better spank for you than Kristin? Enquiring minds want to know!
Any pics of Paleta on Necker Island or did she join after? BTW- do you know exactly when in 2010 your Necker pics are from?
He really made a fool of himself dancing and saluting Raniere, at Vanguard Week 2016, but Vanguard Week 2019 seems a more subdued affair, with an entirely different focus.
DirtyRatBastard says:
Paul—This linked video sucks almost as much as your momma! Da video has nothing to do with nothing—- sit on my middle finger bounce motherF'r
"Ludwika is known as a sex pot actress". As if anyone in her social environment would be known for anything other than a well trained Capuchin monkey! Ok, Keith is well above them in this respect and taught them a good lesson by peeing over them all. Perhaps literally whenever he pleased! Oh yes, I think that includes Kristin Kreuk, whose looks have been demonstrated to be directly proportional to her stupidity!
Alex- I–wish Ludwika was a horse in my stable so I could ride her. WTF mother F'r?
DirtyRatBastard,
I respect your right to do that. I have already had experiences with very good looking women and I tell you, the ones that are also stupid, that combination kills libido FAST for me, no matter what their physical stats are. But, if that's your thing, go for it. Do them all if you can, it's all the same to me.
Perhaps I'm remembering incorrectly, but recall mention at the Frank Report that Ludwika and others met with Clare Bronfman not so long ago, privately and while Bronfman was under house arrest. This was a few months ago and before Raniere was convicted. The Frank Report article said that the meeting was at Bronfman's Manhattan place. It was mentioned in that article that Bronfman met with Nxivm members from Mexico and managed it by choosing individuals who didn't happen to be named on a list of Nvivm participants with whom she could not have contact.
Not much, if any, credibility coming out of Ludwika's remarks, which sound like whitewash and not a very effective attempt, because she is still looking for some way to promote Nxivm. It looks like she is continuing to promote the viability of her group as valuable and looking for expansion, particularly in Mexico.
Gee, and I thought that the NXIVM co-defendants are not supposed to be in contact with one another.
Unless corroborated by others, I would assume anything these two dipsh!ts say is a lie.

Q: JavaScript code convention - object declaration I'm developing a JavaScript Style Guide and I'm aware that the only rule that can be applied on code conventions is to be consistent but I'm curious about this question since none of the major frameworks use this convention.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of vertical align the colons/equals when declaring objects/variables?
var a   = 1,
    ab  = 2,
    abc = 3;

var obj = {
    a   : 1,
    ab  : 2,
    abc : 3
};

A: Better code readability. That's about it.
Disadvantage is when using find to find the value of a variable as there are more spaces than required. So a search for variablename = may result in nothing due to it actually being defined as variablename[space][space][space]=.

A: Putting each variable on a separate line will benefit you when you go to read it again (or someone else reads it) because it will be clear that these are different variables, so increased readability is the main factor.
It mainly is a benefit in the long term when it comes down to passing the code to another programmer to maintain or modify something or if you come back to it after a long period of time and can't remember the code.
It is the same in most languages.
Also aligning the variables with eachother (and the values) can make the code look very neat and tidy but it is a lot of hassle to do and most people don't do this. You would align the start of the line but not anything else afterwards.
Imagine what would happen if something changed and you had to realign everything.
NOT GOOD. Waste of time which could be spent programming.

A: Searching in the code would be one obvious disadvantage:
Imagine that I inherited your system, or must work on it. In the progress, I need to figure out what the a variable is. The system has a huge codebase with lots of lines, so simply scrolling through and looking at every line is not an option.
If the code standard was variable = 123, then I could simply do a "search-in-files" for variable[SPACE]=[SPACE].
This is where the standard you posted might be a bad idea. I don't know how many spaces are going to between the variable name and your equal sign. Of course I could search for a[SPACE]=, a[SPACE][SPACE]=, a[SPACE][SPACE][SPACE]= etc., but it'd be a lot harder.
The only way to search for the declarations (in a raw code editor with no "find declaration" helper), would be to do a Regex search for variable\s+= (one or more spaces) or variable\s*= (zero or more spaces), which will take longer and requires an editor with Regex search capabilities.

World No Tobacco Day observed, PCV launched
KHONSA, 1 Jun: World No Tobacco Day was observed by the department of health & family welfare at the general hospital here in Tirap district on Monday.
On the occasion, a 'no tobacco' pledge was administered to the health department's officials as well as other heads of departments.
DMO Dr N Lowang in her address highlighted the health and other risks associated with tobacco use and advocated having effective policies in place to reduce tobacco consumption.
Later in the day, Tirap DC Taro Mize launched the pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) at the general hospital, in the presence of ZPC Chathong Lowang, the DMO and HoDs.
Informing about the vaccine, the DMO said, "PCV can prevent pneumococcal disease, which refers to any illness caused by pneumococcal bacteria. These bacteria can cause many types of illnesses, including pneumonia, which is an infection of the lungs. Besides pneumonia, pneumococcal bacteria can also cause ear and sinus infections, meningitis (infection of the tissue covering the brain and spinal cord) and bacteraemia (bloodstream infection)."
She further stated that anyone can get pneumococcal disease but children under two years of age, people with certain medical conditions, adults of 65 years or older, and cigarette smokers are at the highest risk.
"The PCV is free of cost at government hospitals," the DMO added.
The PCV was also launched at the general hospital in Aalo by West Siang DC Moki Loyi on 31 May, in the presence of DMO Dr Moli Riba, DFWO Dr Tomar Kamki, and others.
The DMO briefed about the PCV and its doses, and informed that "left-out and dropout beneficiaries for Covid-19 vaccination for age category of 45 and above years shall be enlisted through house-to-house survey through ASHAs and AWWs."
Shi-Yomi observes WNTD
Meanwhile, the Shi-Yomi health department observed World No Tobacco Day (WNTD) at the community health centre in Mechuka on 31 May.
On the occasion, DMO Dr Millo Kunya said that tobacco products are "not only health hazardous but also spread disease to others through smoking and spitting in public places in this kind of pandemic situation."
She urged all medical staffers and the people of Shi-Yomi to shun tobacco addiction, and administered the pledge to quit smoking. (DIPROs)

Pia Maria Nalli (née le  à Palerme et morte le ) est une mathématicienne et universitaire italienne, spécialiste de géométrie algébrique. Elle est professeure de mathématiques à l'université de Palerme et connue pour son engagement contre la discrimination à l'égard des femmes dans le système de recrutement universitaire italien.

Biographie
Pia Nalli naît dans une famille bourgeoise, au sein d'une fratrie de sept enfants. Elle fait ses études à l'université de Palerme, où elle a obtenu un laurea, en 1910 sous la direction de  avec une thèse concernant la géométrie algébrique, et a rejoint la même année le . Elle réalise une thèse d'habilitation en 1914, sur la théorie des intégrales, et mène des recherches sur l'analyse de Fourier et la série de Dirichlet pendant les années suivantes.

Nalli est assistante de Giuseppe Bagnera à l'université de Palerme du  au . Elle enseigne ensuite dans plusieurs écoles secondaires, d'abord à l'école de filles d'Avellino, puis à Trapani, et à partir du  à l'école technique de filles de Palerme, tout en poursuivant ses recherches en mathématiques. Elle réalise une thèse intitulée Esposizione e confronto critico delle diverse definizioni proposte per l'integrale definito di una funzione limitata o no, une étude de la théorie de l'intégrale basée sur des travaux récents sur le sujet d'Émile Borel, Henri Lebesgue Charles de la Vallée Poussin, Giuseppe Vitali et Arnaud Denjoy.

En 1921, Pia Nalli est nommée professeure extraordinaire à l'université de Cagliari. Elle avait été classée deuxième après  dans le processus de recrutement universitaire, mais le candidat mieux classé se désiste et elle obtient donc le poste. En 1923, elle est classée première pour un poste à l'université de Pavie, mais n'est pas recrutée. Après plusieurs déboires identiques, elle obtient un poste à l'université de Catane en tant que professeure titulaire en 1927.

Activités de recherche
À peu près à cette époque, peut-être encouragée par Tullio Levi-Civita, elle a changé son objectif de recherche de l'analyse fonctionnelle au calcul tensoriel.

Elle est connue pour son travail sur la sommabilité de la série de Fourier, sur le théorème de Morera pour les fonctions analytiques de plusieurs variables et pour avoir trouvé la solution à l'équation intégrale de Fredholm du troisième type pour la première fois. Ses sujets de recherche allaient de la géométrie algébrique à l'analyse fonctionnelle et à l'analyse tensorielle ; elle a été conférencière au Congrès international des mathématiciens de 1928.

Elle a été conférencière invitée au Congrès international des mathématiciens en 1928.

Nalli meurt le  à Catane. Une rue de Rome, la Via Pia Nalli porte son nom.

Pia Nalli a publié 61 ouvrages mathématiques, dont la monographie  et un manuel.

A dome security camera offers many advantages that a normal security camera cannot offer. They are typically installed either on the ceiling or high up on a wall. Many businesses, casinos, and restaurants opt to go with a dome CCTV camera as part of their video security system because its unique ability to discreetly view an entire room without a customer or perpetrator even knowing it.
Now a CCTV camera is just an abbreviation for Closed Circuit TV. All this means is that the signals from the surveillance cameras are transmitted directly to a central recording or viewing system. This means that only the devices connected to the CCTV circuit can view the audio and video from the surveillance camera. Most security systems employ this technology as it is one of the best known ways to keep a security system secure.
There are a few things to look for when trying to determine which dome CCTV camera to go with. The first thing to determine is what situation the dome camera will be used for. Will it be for outdoor surveillance or indoor surveillance? There is also the question of whether nighttime surveillance will be needed. If so, then a dome camera with infrared night vision capabilities will be needed. Finally, is there a need for the dome camera to be protected from vandalism? These dome cameras are tamper proof, reinforced, and weatherproof so they can be used practically anywhere.
Dome cameras are typically a little more expensive than some of the other types of video surveillance cameras. The reason for this is they offer a lot more functionality than traditional security cameras. Most of the dome cameras can tilt and rotate as well as provide adequate night vision capabilities. On top of all of that they are very compact in size so they can be a little more discreet than most other types of security cameras.
The installation of a dome camera into a CCTV security system is actually quite easy. Most come with either a 12V or a 24V power supply. There's just a single cable needed, which makes it really easy to run from the camera location to the receiving station. They can be mounted in a variety of ways to provide optimal coverage. Most dome cameras come with their own mounting kits with instructions for easy installation.
Overall there are a lot of benefits to having a dome camera as part of a CCTV security network. They provide excellent coverage for the price. The dome cameras are also very easy to install and can be easily integrated with other types of security cameras.

Q: sinon stub an array object Having read the official documentation and searched, but I still have no idea about this.
Simple Source Code:
// obj is an object with an array element
// each element in array has its function
if (obj.arr['key1']) {
    return obj.arr['key1'].getValue();
}

What I want is controlling obj.arr, for example:
var stub = sinon.stub(obj, "arr");
stub['key2'].returns = {...} //add new Index
delete stub['key1'].returns //remove old Index

A: You can stub a function in an array like this:
myObj = {

    myArray: [
    function(){},
    function(){},
    function(){}
    ]
}

var stub = sinon.stub(myObj.myArray, [0]).returns() //insert what should be returned

Use:
describe ('foo', function () {

    it ('foo', sinon.test(function () {

        this.stub (myObj.myArray, [0]).returns();

    }))
}

if you want automatic cleanup after your stubs.

Thanks in part to Nanaimo Airport, some Central Island children living with serious illnesses will get to meet the pilots of the world-famous Canadian Forces Snowbirds .
The 431 Squadron aces serve as ambassadors to the non-profit CH.I.L.D. Foundation, which helps children living with inflammatory bowel diseases.
The pilots will be in Nanaimo on August 10 to perform a free aerial show over our city's harbour and to raise awareness of the foundation's work.
As part of the visit, Nanaimo Airport and the Nanaimo Flying Club will host a special private session for local children and their parents who are members of CH.I.L.D. Participants will meet the Snowbird pilots and take pictures with them.
The foundation's mandate is to find a cure for Crohn's Disease, ulcerative colitis and liver disorders. These illnesses cause excruciating pain, vomiting and chronic fatigue, among other symptoms. Children living with the disorders are often confined to their homes, miss a lot of school, and can't participate in many activities such as playing sports.
"I can't wait to see the smiles when the kids and their families get to meet the pilots," Mike says.
Smiles will also be the order of the day when the Snowbirds perform, beginning at 5:30 p.m. on Aug. 10 high above the city. Thousands of Central Island families are expected to pack downtown Nanaimo to watch the aerial stunts that have made the Snowbirds a Canadian icon.
The roars of their jet engines will be heard for miles around, so for the few days the Snowbirds are in the area Nanaimo Airport encourages residents to be prepared for the noise in the skies. On the ground, the cheers of the Snowbirds fans may be almost as loud!
