It's an insidious problem. According to the CDC, on any given day, one in 25 hospital patients has at least one hospital acquired infection¹.
Hospital acquired infections, which are also known as healthcare associated infections (HAIs), are a significant concern. They can be localized or systemic, can involve any system of the body, and be associated with medical devices or blood product transfusions². Reducing hospital acquired infections across your enterprise can help improve patient population management in the ICU and extend your care resources.
This issue affects even the youngest and most vulnerable patients. HAI incidence in the NICU has dramatically increased over the past 20 years.
Our critical care solutions support your care teams in their infection-control initiatives for neonates, infants and adults.

Operator and Corporate Associate of Business Coaching Scheme Settle with FTC
deceptive/misleading conduct
An officer of the Digital Altitude scheme that falsely claimed it would enable people to earn substantial income online, and a company it used to process consumers' credit card payments, are banned from selling business coaching programs and investment opportunities under settlements with the Federal Trade Commission.
According to the FTC, Digital Altitude falsely claimed its program would enable people to earn "six figures" in "ninety days or less." It also promised to provide individualized coaching from successful marketers, who in fact were just salespeople selling higher membership levels. Most people never earned the promised income.
Consumers lost tens of millions of dollars to the scheme, including some individuals who lost more than $50,000.
Under the settlement orders, these defendants are also prohibited from credit card laundering, making misrepresentations about any product or service, profiting from consumers' personal information collected as part of the scheme, and failing to dispose of it properly.
The judgment against Morgan Johnson imposes a $54 million judgment that will be suspended due to her inability to pay. The judgment against The Upside LLC imposes a $140,983 judgment that will be partially suspended when the company has surrendered a bank account.
Litigation continues against the remaining defendants.
The Commission vote approving the proposed stipulated final orders was 5-0. The U.S. District Court for the Central District of California entered the orders on July 6, 2018.

Born and raised in a suburban town, surrounded by nature, I have witnessed the changes that have taken place around me. As time moves on, every second brings about a change in the world that we live in. There is a change in the society and the environment. Being a member of the Naga Tribal Community, issues surrounding growth, abandonment, ruin, and survival have affected the way my work has developed.
I believe every medium has its own venerability and I long to explore and bring out the beauty within it and look into the areas of compatibilities between forms, objects and materials. My preference is to use naturally found objects and juxtapose forms with such objects to create poetic visuals. I use terracotta, wood, branches, twigs, and paper. Non-conventional materials are my most favourite mediums to work with.
My objective is to use fragile materials that have been found and translate them into more cohesive forms to create artwork.
In my recent work I explore the theme of changing environments. Using found objects both industrial and natural, I try to construct environments that tacitly respond to the process and forces shaping growth and life of contemporary cities.

Exclusive: Researcher Eliot Higgins On YouTube's Deletion Of Syria War Videos
by Isiah Holmes • November 27, 2017
(TFC)– YouTube recently caught heat after a video possibly showing Syrian war crimes was removed. The deletion opened a Pandora's box of controversy online and revealed an ongoing pattern. As a follow-up, TFC contacted Eliot Higgins, research fellow for the Human Rights Center.
Higgins has spent years cataloging, studying, and preserving online renegade footage from Syria and other conflicts. His work with the Syrian Archive–currently in beta-form–aims to gather film evidence of conflict abuses.
Most of the videos are gathered through open sources, particularly YouTube and blogs. With few western journalists left in the embattled country, any footage from contested areas is invaluable. Sometimes, the clips come from areas where it's not safe for NGO's and human rights organizations to travel.
When asked if the video deletions do a disservice to those taking risks to capture and upload footage, Higgins agreed. "I think it does", he began, "especially when earlier on in the conflict there was quite a bit of encouragement coming from Google that their platform should be used for uploading this sort of material."
Higgins cites "badly implemented policies by social media platforms" as some of the biggest threats to the Syrian Archive. In his experience, these are "based on policies of a range of governments who generally don't have an understanding of how social media is being used in conflict zones."
He doesn't think the deletions have anything to do with Trump being in office and didn't notice any particularly aggressive removal during Obama's years. The recent video deletions coincide with YouTube's so-called creators' crackdown. Swaths of channels have been deleted, or videos demonetized, under the company's new content guidelines. The new rules restrict violent, controversial, vulgar, or sensitive content to various degrees. I've personally seen my channel affected, including videos I've produced on a local police department.
Eliot Higgin's, however, doesn't feel YouTube intentionally deleted the war clips. "I think it's two independent things", he emailed TFC. "In the case of the Syria content, it seems like their new attempts to deal with violent and jihadi content has resulted in some false positives." When content is flagged, often times the channel is removed or blocked. Due to the conflict's intensity, uploaders might not live long enough to republish content.
Some of the deleted videos, Higgins pointed out, were rightly removed under the community guidelines. "But because it's [the video removal] replied retroactively", he stated, "content from 5 years ago is getting flagged, and that ends up with accounts with tens of thousands of other videos being deleted that don't have the same sort of content. I don't think it's a deliberate attempt to cover anything up, just an awkwardly implemented system."
Part of the content's uncertainty comes from the various entities uploading the videos. "Generally local media centers", Higgins explained to TFC, "armed groups, groups like the Syrian Civil Defence and medical facilities. Because of restricted internet access, there's very little content in opposition-held areas that is coming from civilians posting about their day to day lives." Most of these videos come from "opposition-held areas" checkered by different rebel groups.
Overall, the deletion of videos isn't unique to the Syrian war. "I've seen videos from all sorts of conflicts and events censored", Eliot Higgs told TFC, "recently videos from Myanmar were removed, others from Kenya, it's just some are more viewed and therefore their deletion gets more notice."
In an every shifting arena of online policy, YouTube's deletion of Syrian war content rests in an odd grey space. While the censorship component is apparent, how directed the actions are by human intentions, and what's just robots, is debatable.
As video removal and demonetization continues, YouTube may change its guidelines. Striking balances between open information, and controlled content within a new digital horizon. Videos from Syria and other war zones confront social media platforms with difficult choices. When those choices are left up to robots, then critical information for international investigators can be lost.

How Forensic Dentistry Works
by Shanna Freeman
Tooth Identification
Forensics expert Marcel Verhoff of the University of Giessen examines teeth in a jawbone in a mass grave discovered at a construction site on Jan. 25, 2008, in Kassel, Germany.

There is no database of teeth that corresponds with databases of fingerprints or DNA, so dental records are how forensic dentists identify the dead. Tooth enamel (the outer layer of teeth) is harder than any other substance in the human body, which is why teeth remain long after all other parts have decayed. Victims of fires are often identified by their teeth, which can withstand temperatures of more than 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit (1,093 degrees Celsius). Teeth that have been through especially intense heat are very fragile and may shrink, but they can be preserved with lacquer and used for identification as long as they are handled very carefully. Dental work, such as a partial or gold crown, will be distorted by fire but can still aid in identification.
To identify a person from his or her teeth, a forensic dentist must have a dental record or records from the deceased person's dentist. In the case of an incident involving multiple deaths, forensic dentists receive a list of possible individuals and compare available records with the teeth and find a match. Examining the teeth of an intact corpse often requires working in a morgue to expose the jaws surgically. Even if only a few teeth are available, a forensic dentist can still make a positive identification. The best comparisons come from X-rays, but even if those aren't available, notations on the tooth chart can tell the dentist if the teeth are the same.
X-rays are the best way to make a match as far as forensic dentistry is concerned.

Identifying an individual by his or her teeth without dental records is much more difficult. However, things like broken teeth, missing teeth and gold crowns might be recognized by the friends and family members of the deceased. Things about the biter's lifestyle can be determined by the teeth; a constant pipe smoker or a bagpipe player has a distinctive wear pattern. Dressmakers and tailors, who often put pins and needles in their mouths, may have chipped teeth.
In addition to the dental records, forensic investigators can retrieve DNA samples by extracting the pulp from the center of the tooth. Unlike the enamel, pulp can be damaged by fire and other conditions, but it can also last for hundreds of years. Dental identification is often the last resort, and it isn't always possible -- some people simply can't be identified.
We'll look at the other aspect of forensic dentistry, bite-mark analysis, next.
Teeth and the Black Death
Teeth have been used to answer historical questions as well as identify victims. For years, scientists and historians have sought to discover if the bubonic plague outbreaks during the Middle Ages were actually caused by the Yersinia pestis bacteria. Pulp was extracted from the teeth of people who had allegedly died of the plague, and the DNA tested for the presences of Y. pestis. Although it was found in some of the teeth, not all of the alleged plague victims' teeth contained the bacteria. Some of these people died of other diseases and not bubonic plague after all.


She was raised in Washington, D. In early press releases from Maverick Records her birth year was erroneously listed as The birth date has been confirmed through a previous manager and lifelong friend. Named Michelle Lynn Johnson at birth, Ndegeocello adopted her surname at the age of 17, which she says means "free like a bird" in Swahili. Early pressings of Plantation Lullabies were affixed with stickers to help pronounce her name. The spelling has changed in the hands of record labels a few times during her career; however, the correct spelling of her stage name is now Meshell Ndegeocello.
Record company executives are present, and four days later U2 sign an international deal with Island Records. The band record their first album in Windmill Lane Studios. U2 play their first open-air festival to an audience of 15, at Leixlip Castle in Kildare. The Police top the bill which includes Squeeze and Q-Tips. The band play a date tour of the United Kingdom.

In-The-Scope : Zoloft
We recently had an interview with Zoloft, check out what he has planned for TAW@WAR IV.
1. For the readers, can you please state your name, rank and current position within TAW.
I'm 1LT Zoloft, the Commanding Officer of Team Fortress Division's 4th Battalion.
2. Do you remember who did your bootcamp? What was it like?
Nesfero was my Drill Instructor, and it was like being bootcamped by a tentatively excited Elcor (for those of you familiar with Mass Effect).
3. Why did you join TAW? What made you decide that TAW was where you wanted to be?
I joined TAW because my partner, Terror [BF CO], said great things about it. I don't have much time for social endeavors, and being part of a gaming community again (6 years sober from WoW!) was something I was missing. The Code of Ethics was the single most important factor in deciding that this was a group I wanted to be a part of. At the time of joining, I had never played an FPS before, and the kindness and patience shown to me by the TF members while learning to play further solidified my decision to make TAW my new home.
4. Do you play any games (outside of your division) that TAW members can frag you on?
I'm gently wading into Nuclear Dawn, but Team Fortress is my baby. Perhaps at some point I'll come into some money and get Battlefield 3 so that I can frag Terror et al.
5. What do you do outside of TAW?
I'm a third year medical student. 1.5 more years and you can call me Dr. Zoloft. Each couple of months I change rotations, and right now I'm on Family Medicine. The TF division can attest to the ridiculous stories from the Trauma Surgery rotation. Just wait until Psychiatry!
6. Has your experience with TAW helped you accomplish anything in the real world?
I would say that TAW has definitely helped me stay connected to the world outside of medicine and get some perspective about things. Also, because the vast majority of members in the TF division are high-school and college-aged, it's been a great opportunity to mentor these young people and help them learn effective leadership, collaboration and conflict resolution skills. TAW has definitely given me a stress-relief outlet and an overarching project to be proud of.
7. You're spear heading the upcoming TAW@WAR IV. What can you tell us about it?
We're really excited to be hosting this upcoming tournament. Team Fortress 2 is a great free-to-play, class-based, first-person-shooter that is fast-paced and has something suited for any play style. It requires lot of collaboration and communication, so the groups with the best teamwork will be victorious.
For the tournament, in keeping with the laid-back spirit of the game, we're going to keep it chill and focus on having a great time and getting to know lots of folks from other divisions.
For each day of the tournament (Dec 4, 11, 18) we're going to play a different game mode with the victors receiving a tab commemorating their superior performance. In Payload, one team escorts a cute little train along its tracks from one end of the map to the other, while the other team does everything in their power to keep that from happening. In Control Points, one team captures and the other defends crucial territorial landmarks. In King-of-the-Hill, both teams duke it out to maintain 3 total minutes of control of a single point. Finally, in Capture-the-Flag, teams are both attacking and defending simultaneously to steal the opposing team's intelligence briefcase and bring it home to their base a total of 4 times.
Teams will be randomized for each match of the tournament so you'll get to meet many different folks, and if you can't make it to one of the days, it's no big deal.
8. Your favorite hat?
The Baker Boy, especially when painted Slate. It is ADORABLE.
9. What is something you'd like non-members to know about TAW?
TAW is truly a community and anyone can find a home here. It is one of the bastions of civilization in a troll-infested world. In TF Division in particular, we have a lot of female and LGBT folks who can play games without being subjected to harassment, and that's something that is really rare in the gaming world and something to be really proud of.
10. Is there anything else you would like to add that you want our readers to know about?
Feel free to come on down to the TF Division's TeamSpeak channels anytime you wish. There are always people on, we are a really friendly group, and we would love to teach you how to play or how to rock some faces off during TAW@War. Be warned, though: Once you visit, the urge to transfer to TF may be irresistible.
For their time and dedication, Zoloft will be awarded our In-The-Scope member tab for completing the interview.

Attending Career Expo's and Higher Options events should not be left until students are in their final leaving certificate year. Attending these events while students are more concerned with study and points, leaves very little time for follow up research.
Leaving Cert students do not always have time to investigate the myriad of courses available, as they are concerned with working towards a points race.
It has become very evident to me that the skill of research is not embraced by second level students. The attraction to 'The Headline Course or the Popular College' is gaining huge traction. Quality research needs to start after Junior Cert. This research is not necessarily geared towards a Job or a Career, but rather focused on finding a course to study which will engage and interest each student, and provide an opportunity for the student to contribute to their own learning. That course may be a P.L.C. course or an Apprenticeship Course or a Third Level Course.
Exploring course opportunities is not just about the end goal. This is a fabulous learning journey which can be enjoyed.


Oil companies will face the full force of the law if they manipulated prices, Britain's energy minister said on Wednesday as a rating agency warned of massive fines if a European Commission's probe into oil pricing found any wrongdoing.
Oil firm Eni said the European Commission had asked it to provide information, although it was not being probed.
The Italian company's statement came a day after the offices of Shell , BP and Statoil were raided by investigators over suspected oil price manipulation.
The surprise searches of major oil companies, but not their competitors the powerful privately-owned trading companies, were one of the biggest cross-border probes since the Libor scandal and sent shock waves through the secretive industry.
Authorities have sharpened scrutiny of financial benchmarks around the world since slapping large fines on some of the world's biggest banks for rigging interest rate benchmarks.
"If it turns out to be the case that hard-pressed motorists and consumers have been hit in the pocket by manipulation in the market, the full force of the law should be down upon them. There is no doubt about that," Britain's Energy Secretary Ed Davey told parliament.
A spokesman for Britain's Prime Minister David Cameron said he expected companies to fully comply with the investigation.
London is home to some of the biggest trading desks in the oil business. Following the Libor scandal, Britain approved legislation making a criminal offence of false or misleading statements in relation to the setting of financial benchmarks.
"The investigation's focus on potential collusion over price reporting draws parallels with the investigations by European and U.S. regulators into Libor rates," Fitch ratings said.
The Commission has said it had concerns that companies may have colluded in reporting distorted prices to a price reporting agency to manipulate prices for oil and biofuel products.
It also said companies may have prevented others from participating in the price assessment process of a pricing agency, which it did not name.
Platts, the world's largest pricing agency and a unit of U.S. McGraw Hill , is cooperating with the probe. On Wednesday, Antoine Colombani, the Commission's spokesman on competition policy, said only one pricing agency was involved in the probe.
"Even small distortions of assessed prices can have an impact on final prices, potentially harming consumers," he said.
Fitch said that in the event of large fines, oil company balance sheets would likely absorb the blow thanks to big cash reserves.
The biggest settlement so far over Libor was the 1.4 billion Swiss francs that UBS agreed to pay to U.S., British and Swiss regulators.
"Other than fines, if an oil company is found to have distorted prices, it could face longer-term risks from damage to reputation," said Fitch, noting that BP was excluded from some business in the Gulf of Mexico following the Macondo spill.
Sources and officials at major trading houses Glencore , Vitol, Trafigura, Gunvor and Mercuria said they have not been asked so far to cooperate with the probe.
Swiss antitrust authority Weko said there were no proceedings underway as part of the EU prove. Switzerland is home to most global oil trading houses.
French oil major Total also said there had been no inspections at its offices. Last year it wrote to regulators to question the way oil prices were determined, bringing into the spotlight the pricing mechanisms of price reporting agencies.
The methodology designed by Platts for daily assessments on the physical oil markets is used to close deals worth at least $2.5 trillion a year.
Critics say the system is only a snapshot of the market and excludes most deals, making it vulnerable to manipulations.
Supporters say it is the best mechanism so far devised to assess huge but often opaque markets.
Olivier Jakob from energy consultancy Petromatrix said he believed the current pricing system was far from perfect but Platts still remained the main reference for the entire market.
"They are essential... So if you were to close Platts tomorrow, you would have a very big problem," he said.
Leen Broekhuizen, partner at energy consultancy SunGard, said the probe could result in the EU regulating oil trading more strictly after having already put in place measure to prevent market abuse in the physical gas and power markets.

Feel Free by Zadie Smith
'Feel Free' is a new collection of over thirty essays, reviews and interviews by Zadie Smith divided into five sections. The first and last of these, 'In the World' and 'Feel Free', cover current events and some autobiographical "life writing", while 'In the Audience', 'In the Gallery' and 'On the Bookshelf' concern her musings on film, art and writing respectively.
Covering a vast array of topics, the collection opens with an impassioned defence of libraries ("the only thing left on the high street that doesn't want either your soul or your wallet") while a new security fence constructed around her daughter's primary school is the springboard for a nuanced and insightful piece on Brexit. As to be expected, some of the more in-depth reviews may only be of real interest for those who already know about the subject matter. I am familiar with some of the films and authors discussed here ('The Social Network', 'Get Out' and Karl Ove Knausgaard are all featured), but it has to be said that the more academic essays about art were less appealing to me and I skimmed most of these. As well as subject matter, the essays were originally written for very different audiences across different publications and while many pieces first appeared in the New York Review of Books and Harper's magazine, some were delivered as lectures.

On Beauty by Zadie Smith
I've had a copy of 'On Beauty' by Zadie Smith on my shelf for ages but as it is based on 'Howards End' by E. M. Forster, I decided to read the latter first about six years ago as I usually prefer to have some knowledge of the source material when reading an adaptation or homage to another book. However, I didn't get on with 'Howards End' at all and consequently I have neglected 'On Beauty' for a very long time, but after enjoying Smith's latest novel Swing Time so much last year, I wanted to try what is arguably her finest book.

Swing Time by Zadie Smith
'Swing Time' by Zadie Smith tells the story of two mixed-race girls, an unnamed narrator and her friendship with Tracey who grow up together on neighbouring council estates in north-west London in the 1980s. From Fred Astaire to Michael Jackson, music and dance dominate their lives but it is only Tracey who has the real talent to pursue a career as a dancer. The narrator goes to university and works as a personal assistant for mononymous international pop star Aimee who decides to set up a school for girls in west Africa. The story alternates between the past and present and even though the girls spend a considerable time apart in later years, Tracey's influence can always be felt. Continue reading →

New Books Coming Soon in 2015
2014 was a fantastic year for new books by some of my favourite authors including 'Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and his Years of Pilgrimage' by Haruki Murakami, 'The Paying Guests' by Sarah Waters, 'Us' by David Nicholls and 'The Book of Strange New Things' by Michel Faber. 2015 is also shaping up to be a bumper year for long-awaited new novels from both established authors and debut novelists alike. Here are the ones to watch in 2015:

A. M. Homes wins the Women's Prize for Fiction
I have just watched the Women's Prize for Fiction 2013 live stream broadcast on the Huffington Post website. In the build-up towards the big announcement when Miranda Richardson said that the judges were looking for originality, accessibility and excellence, I thought: "It's got to be 'Flight Behaviour'! Or 'Bring Up the Bodies'! Or 'Life After Life'! One of those three will definitely win it!"

The Women's Prize for Fiction Shortlist Readings
Last night, I went to the Women's Prize for Fiction Shortlist Readings event at the Southbank Centre in London and it was every bit as awesome as I hoped it would be.
Over the last couple of months, I have read five out of the six books on this year's shortlist. In summary, 'May We Be Forgiven' by A.M. Homes was the most dysfunctional (i.e. my least favourite), 'Flight Behaviour' by Barbara Kingsolver was beautifully written, 'Life After Life' by Kate Atkinson had an intriguing concept which was handled very well, 'NW' by Zadie Smith had excellent dialogue and 'Bring Up the Bodies' by Hilary Mantel was an impressive interpretation of historical events. Sadly, I haven't had a chance to read 'Where'd You Go, Bernadette' by Maria Semple yet but I will try and seek out a copy in the future.
Anyway, this is my ticket for which I paid the princely sum of £6 (gotta love student discounts). I also took my copies of 'NW' and 'Bring Up the Bodies' with me.

NW by Zadie Smith
I gave a slightly mixed review of 'White Teeth' by Zadie Smith last year. I enjoyed it more than I thought I would but it did have a few flaws. Over a decade after her first novel was published when she was just twenty-five years old, Smith now offers us 'NW', another ambitious and sprawling novel which focuses on four thirty-something characters – Leah, Felix, Natalie and Nathan – who all grew up on the Caldwell council estate in north-west London and find that their lives continue to overlap many years later.

Ohio State vs. Penn State: Live stream, watch online, TV channel, prediction, pick, football game spread, odds
Two of the Big Ten traditional powers clash in a defining game in the East title race
By Tom Fornelli
Oct 30, 2021 at 6:30 pm ET 4 min read
No. 20 Penn State travels to Columbus on Saturday to square off with No. 5 Ohio State in a game that once looked to be one of the best games of the season. The divisional showdown has lost a bit of luster in recent weeks, however. Earlier this month, many anticipated this being a clash between two top-five teams battling for Big Ten East supremacy and a possible College Football Playoff. Unfortunately, a lot has changed since.
While the Buckeyes recovered nicely from its early-season loss to Oregon and dominated its Big Ten competition, the Nittany Lions cannot say the same. Going on the road and losing to Iowa 23-20 after losing quarterback Sean Clifford late in the first half was forgivable and understandable. Losing 20-18 in nine overtimes to 3-5 Illinois last Saturday is something different. Not only did that knock Penn State down 13 spots in the AP Top 25, it all but eliminated it from Big Ten title contention. The Nittany Lions now have two conference losses in a division with three teams that have yet to lose a conference game.
The good news for Penn State is that it still gets to play all three starting this weekend, but the bad news is there's little reason it can beat all three.
Ohio State vs. Penn State: Need to know
It's better for the Big Ten if Ohio State wins: We're almost to the time of year when playoff rankings will be released. If you're the Big Ten, the most important thing is that you get at least one team in the playoff, but ideally, you'd love to get two. A Penn State win here would seriously hurt any chance of the latter coming to fruition. It would be Ohio State's second loss of the season and history has shown that two losses are one too many.
With both Michigan and Michigan State playing earlier in the day, the conference will be down to only one undefeated team by kickoff. Of course, if you're a Penn State fan, you don't care about any of this, nor should you. All you care about is ending a two-game losing streak and getting the season back on track.
This could be the start of C.J. Stroud's Heisman campaign: Stroud has been on fire in October. Although he threw for 484 yards and three touchdowns in Ohio State's loss to Oregon, he'd been failing to live up to the lofty expectations that Buckeyes fans have for their QB after watching Justin Fields.
After sitting out of the Akron game because of an injury, Stroud has been lighting up the Big Ten. Over his last three games, he's thrown for 1,032 yards, 14 touchdowns and no interceptions. Of course, he's done this against Rutgers, Maryland and Indiana, so it hasn't garnered much attention. But if Stroud can keep that up by lighting up a good Penn State secondary, you can be sure his Heisman candidacy will receive a significant boost.
Penn State needs to figure out a way to run the football: It's been a serious problem for the Nittany Lions all season long, not just in their last two losses. This offense ranks 99th nationally with an average of 3.54 yards per carry, 99th in rushing success rate (48.7%) and 116th in total rush EPA (-40.73). There's only been one game this season in which the Lions averaged at least 5.0 yards per carry, and that was a 44-13 win over Ball State in which they finished with exactly 5.0 yards per carry.
One of the best ways to slow down the Ohio State offense is to keep it off the field, and the best way to do that -- particularly when you have a banged-up QB like Clifford -- is handing the ball off. If the Nittany Lions are going to go to Columbus and shock the world, they're going to have to run the ball somehow.

OHIOST
u60.5
This point spread is not an accurate reflection of the difference between these two teams at their best, but it accurately depicts where they are right now. Clifford was well below 100% during Penn State's loss to Illinois, and if he's not healthy, an already limited offense becomes even more of a liability. Also, losing defensive lineman P.J. Mustipher for the season had a noticeable impact on the Penn State rush defense against Illinois. Now that same unit has to stop running back TreVeyon Henderson while also covering all the weapons Ohio State has in the passing game. I just don't see how Penn State can keep up with this Ohio State team right now. Prediction: Ohio State (-18.5)

According to CNN, gun-rights activists have reached a settlement with the government that will allow them to post 3-D printable gun plans online starting August 1.
The settlement ends a multi-year legal battle that started when Cody Wilson, who describes himself as a post-left anarchist, posted plans for a 3-D printed handgun he called "The Liberator" in 2013. The single-shot pistol was made almost entirely out of of ABS plastic — the same stuff they make Lego bricks out of — that could be made on a 3-D printer. The only metal parts were the firing pin and a piece of metal included to comply with the Undetectable Firearms Act.
In essence, officials said someone in another country — a country the US doesn't sell weapons to — could download the material and make their own gun. Wilson complied, but said the files already had been downloaded a million times. He sued the federal government in 2015.
The settlement, which is dated June 29, says that Wilson and Defense Distributed can publish plans, files and 3-D drawings in any form and exempts them from the export restrictions.

Carnival help plea
By Richard Batson
Published: 2:45 PM September 25, 2010 Updated: 9:15 AM October 11, 2020
A rallying call has gone out for people to run Sheringham carnival to fill a void left as five key volunteers stand down.
All five directors are retiring and organisers are seeking people with organisational, accountancy and secretarial skills to join the crew behind the popular and successful event.
Chairman Helena Beresford said: 'There is no trouble. We have all been doing it for years and are getting on. We want a change and some new blood to come in with fresh ideas.'
She is stepping down, under carnival rules, after two years in the chair. But also going are vice-chairman Martyn Jackson, treasurer John Lessels, secretary Melanie Clarke, and minutes secretary Jane van Poortvliet.
This summer's event had been a successful one, with a change of the parade day from Wednesday to Saturday being welcomed.
The shape of next year's event would be decided in December once a new team was put in place at the annual meeting on November 9 at the Morley Club, when the event will also hand out any profits from this year's week to local good causes.
But a special open meeting was being held at the same venue on Tuesday October 5 at 7.30pm in a bid to attract more people to come forward and stand for the important officerships.
'If nobody comes forward there will be a question mark over the carnival. But it's nothing to the scared of,' added Mrs Beresford.
It took the equivalent of about a day a week – but a bigger commitment nearer the event – but could be combined with work and was fun.
'I have got a lot of friendship through my involvement' said the chairman, who began her links 15 years ago helping to build carnival floats for Women's Institute.
She would be staying on the 30 -strong carnival committee, which also had an army of helpers to man the events.
But the directors' roles were vital to run the carnival, so there was a 'desperate need' to fill the posts.
Anyone interested in finding out more can contact Mrs Beresford on 01263 823463.


National Lottery spending as recorded in the National Accounts reflects money spent from the National Lottery Distribution Fund (NLDF) – a fund for good causes, overseen by the secretary of state for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport – and is included within AME. The money distributed by the NLDF is raised via a transfer from the National Lottery operator. As such, public sector receipts are boosted by the precise amount of the transfer, which is then allocated for spend on good causes. These receipts are separate to 'Lottery duty', which is a duty on taking a chance or ticket in a lottery promoted in the UK. All lawful lotteries are exempt from the duty, except the National Lottery.
In our latest forecast, we expect NLDF good cause income to amount to £1.6 billion in 2018-19 and expenditure to amount to £1.8 billion (with £1.3 billion of current spending and £0.5 billion of capital spending). That income would represent 0.2 per cent of total public sector receipts, and is equivalent to £60 per household and 0.1 per cent of national income. NLDF spending amounts to 0.2 per cent of total public spending, and is equivalent to £70 per household and 0.1 per cent of national income.
The charts below show National Lottery Distribution Fund (NLDF) expenditure and receipts in cash terms and as a share of national income (GDP). Spending and receipts measured in cash terms are simple metrics for analysing trends over time. But without putting the cash amount into context – by asking how much national income there is to be taxed and devoted to different types of public spending – interpreting cash changes is difficult, particularly over long time periods.
Trends in receipts and spending as a share of GDP are useful to understand how they move in line with the underlying economic activity that is being taxed and ultimately finances spending. In cash terms, spending, receipts and GDP will tend to rise over time because of population growth and inflation. Spending and receipts as a share of GDP are the most relevant metrics when considering the sustainability of the public finances.
Total spending by the NLDF increased from £1.2 billion in 2010-11 to £1.9 billion in 2016-17. The profile of expenditure has been uneven: it breaks down into relatively flat spending on capital grants at around £0.5 billion a year and a more volatile profile of current expenditure, with the lowest amount of £0.6 billion recorded in 2012-13 and the highest amount of £1.6 billion in 2014-15. As a share of GDP, total spending has followed a similar profile. Spending has averaged 0.1 per cent of national income over the period 2010-11 to 2016-17. Over the same period, payments to the NLDF have stayed broadly flat at £1.7 billion or 0.1 per cent of national income.
Our latest fiscal forecast was published in March 2018. National Lottery current expenditure was £1.4 billion in 2016-17, is forecast to be lower at £1.3 billion between 2017-18 and 2019-20 and then to fall again to £1.2 billion a year from 2020-21. National Lottery capital expenditure is forecast to be stable at around £0.5 billion a year across the forecast period. The latter is included in 'Other PSGI items in AME' in the Total Managed Expenditure (TME) table in our Economic and fiscal outlook. As a share of GDP, total expenditure is forecast to be just below 0.1 per cent throughout the period. NLDF income is forecast to stay between £1.6 billion and £1.7 billion in cash terms, or just under 0.1 per cent of GDP.
We have reprofiled our forecast for National Lottery current grants in a way that they are no longer fully offset by ticket sales income available for good causes and are therefore no longer neutral for net borrowing. The drawdown from the National Lottery Distribution Fund has recently exceeded income, so we have increased our spending forecast in the short term. We assume that in the longer term the fund will start returning to balance. This has increased current spending by £0.1 billion on average in 2017-18 and 2018-19 but reduced it by around £0.1 billion from 2020-21 onwards. Our forecast for National Lottery capital grants is little changed.
Our forecast for NLDF income reflects our estimate of the overall level of National Lottery ticket sales (including scratch cards and other games) and the share of those stakes that are transferred from the operator to the fund. Our forecast for the overall level of stakes is informed by the assumptions in the HM Revenue and Customs Lottery duty model that we use in our receipts forecast. As the overall level of stakes is the key driver of the spending forecast, with the rest being largely assumption-driven (i.e. that the full level of annual income is drawn down from the Fund by distributing bodies), most of the scrutiny takes place on the receipts side of the forecast. The assumptions that drive the spending forecast are reviewed each year to ensure they remain appropriate. The Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport (DCMS) provides us with outturn figures for how spending is split across current and capital, as well as across economic categories. Our forecast assumes these splits remain constant at the same level as the most recent outturn year over the forecast period, and are applied to our forecast for total fund income.
Income to the Fund is derived from the share of all National Lottery ticket sales allocated to good causes under the terms of the National Lottery operating licence. Total income from sales is derived from our Lottery duty forecast by dividing the receipts forecast by the duty rate.
Lottery duty is forecast using a simple econometric model: the model estimates ticket sales using our nominal consumption forecast as a determinant. The duty forecast is then arrived at by multiplying ticket sales by the duty rate (12 per cent). The forecast for fund income is obtained by applying the yearly growth rates from the duty forecast to the latest in-year estimate, which is informed by the published HMRC data on Lottery duty receipts.
Up until our November 2017 forecast, we assumed that total AME (current and capital) spending in the forecast period would fully align with the income from the NLDF – i.e. the entire amount would be drawn down by the fund each year. We altered this approach in March 2018, as recent experience showed that this was no longer the case. We now expect expenditure to exceed income in the short term, drawing down on reserves that the fund has accumulated. The amount the fund is expected to spend is informed by the latest bottom-up estimates of funding commitments provided by the lottery distributors and scrutinised by DCMS. We then assume that the fund will begin returning to balance in the longer run. Of the total amount spent, just under three quarters is current spending and just over a quarter is capital. The latest outturn data are used as the basis for arriving at the proportions across the two dimensions (current or capital spending and economic category breakdown), with the proportions held constant over the forecast period.
The main judgement on the spending side of the National Lottery forecast is the proportion of NLDF income spent each year, meaning that the fund will either draw down on reserves (if spending exceeds income) or add to them (in the opposite case), increasing or reducing net borrowing. We do not make allowances for any lag in income being spent. This assumption will be reviewed each year to ensure it remains a good proxy for total fund expenditure.
The main sources of volatility in our previous forecasts have been the expected income from National Lottery sales that is available for good causes and the assumed drawdown of these resources. Up until March 2014, our forecasts were based on DCMS projections of ticket sales and the allocation of funds to projects, informed in turn by outturn behaviour and operational plans of the Lottery distributors.
A decline in spending in our early forecasts after strong sales in 2008-09 and 2009-10 reflected cautious expectations that the economic slowdown would lead to a delay in the start of approved projects, as the outturn data suggested at the time. These projects, including high-value capital projects, were assumed to draw NLDF funds later than planned. In subsequent forecasts, we expanded the scope of our projections by including not only known funding commitments, but also anticipated future programmes. This led to a shift from downward to upward trends across the forecast period. Strong sales of Lottery tickets between 2011-12 and 2012-13 also led to upward revisions to our forecasts. In spring 2013, Camelot (the operator) announced that it would increase the price of the main Lotto game to £2 per ticket (double the previous price), which was assumed to raise total sales and therefore spending.
In March 2014, we changed the basis of our NLDF income and expenditure forecasts and anchored them to our Lottery duty receipts forecast, which is produced using HMRC's Lottery duty model. One aim was to improve consistency across our receipts and expenditure forecasts. We also revised down estimates for Lottery income in light of weaker-than-expected outturn data. The movements in our subsequent forecasts reflected changes in the expected proceeds from Lottery sales. In March 2018, we reverted to using distributor projections in our short-term spending forecast to supplement information from the forecast of the fund income. This will remain subject to review.

"When I grow up, I want to be an artist." Those were the words I confidently spoke into the mic while on the stage for my Kindergarten graduation. It's a desire that took the back-burner after college, but I've been led back to creating art in recent years.
When not working on marketing and branding masterpieces, art is a medium that I use to interpret the beauty of this world.
I believe that everyone has the ability to express themselves in a way that aligns with their true purpose.

What's with *.cxx files instead of *.cpp?
Thread: What's with *.cxx files instead of *.cpp?
I occasionally come across source code that contains a mixture of *.cpp and *.cxx files.
Why do people do that ? What's the point ? How are they different? They seem the same to me.
I get the feeling that such source code has been ported from Fortran or some other 'academic' language.
Re: What's with *.cxx files instead of *.cpp?
CXX and CPP are same with VC++, aparently the C++ source files were supposed to be .c++ but as few file systems dont allow + in extension, then it is said that x was used to mimic +, that how it became .cXX, not anyway different though.
It is probably due to a project using libraries (in form of source code) that don't use the same naming convention the programmer(s) of the project.
Not very popular since it requires a case-sensitive file system (otherwise, it would clash with old .c file names), and even a few modern OS are not case-sensitive.
Some OS or file systems don't support the + character in file names.
That's very portable across file systems.
Using the name CXX for C++ is quite popular because CPP usually designates the C (and C++) pre-processor.
Represents the flags passed to the pre-processor.
Flags passed to the C compiler.
Flags passed to the C++ compiler.
Flags passed to the linker.
The path to the C compiler.
The path to the pre-processor.
The path to the C++ compiler.
The path to the linker.
That's why, with the above notations, it's very natural to give the .cxx extension to C++ files.
Since the compiler doesn't do anything based on this extension, it can be used for C++ header files too.
Furthermore, there are a lot of header files that are designed to be included by both C and C++ translation units.
In that case, it's natural to give them this extension.
That's very natural to give one of these extensions for C++ header files (being consistent with the name of C++ translation units).
That's not a bad idea to use one of these name for pure C++ header files only (containing class definitions, or templates, or any other feature not supported by C).
That's internally used by a number of C++ compilers for iostream, vector, algorithm and all others new-style C++ headers.
There are probably other (less popular) extensions for headers.
"inherit to be reused by code that uses the base class, not to reuse base class code", Sutter and Alexandrescu, C++ Coding Standards.
Club of lovers of the C++ typecasts cute syntax: Only recorded member.
Out of memory happens! Handle it properly!
I dont know squat about programming Unix systems, but I do believe that most of the *.cxx and *.hxx files that I have encountered were originally intended for use with Unix mak files. And academic institutions seem to gravitate to Unix. Because I can never get those mak files to work properly, I have developed a hostile, mistrusting attitute towards them.
Sorry. I realize this isnt a psychotherapy session.
I use .hpp and .hxx differently. .hpp files are exported headers, .hxx are internal headers local only to the module.
.hh and .cc are also used - for auto-generated source. CORBA IDL compiler for example produces .cc and .hh files. It's useful when you see these headers to know that a program generated them.
.h is popular for headers even in C++ although it's possibly best reserved for C-compatible headers. Often used for entry points to DLL. In a shared-object, all the symbols are exported but you can still use a .h file to publish the entry points from a C-interface so that a C client can use the library. A .h file can also be used for declarations of enums and constants.
