My Seditious Heart (Hardback)
Arundhati Roy (author)
Hardback 1040 Pages / Published: 06/06/2019
Twenty years, a thousand pages, and now a single beautiful edition of Arundhati Roy's complete non-fiction.
'Arundhati Roy is one of the most confident and original thinkers of our time' Naomi Klein
'The world has never had to face such global confusion. Only in facing it can we make sense of what we have to do. And this is precisely what Arundhati Roy does. She makes sense of what we have to do. Thereby offering an example. An example of what? Of being fully alive in our world, such as it is, and of getting close to and listening to those for whom this world has become intolerable' John Berger
'Arundhati Roy calls for 'factual precision' alongside of the 'real precision of poetry.' Remarkably, she
combines those achievements to a degree that few can hope to approach' Noam Chomsky
'Unflinching emotional as well as political intelligence... Lucid and probing insights on a range of matters, from crony capitalism and environmental depredation to the perils of nationalism and, in her most recent work, the insidiousness of the Hindu caste system. In an age of intellectual logrolling and mass-manufactured infotainment, she continues to offer bracing ways of seeing, thinking and feeling' TIME magazine
My Seditious Heart collects the work of a two-decade period when Arundhati Roy devoted herself to the political essay as a way of opening up space for justice, rights and freedoms in an increasingly hostile environment. Taken together, these essays trace her twenty year journey from the Booker Prize-winning The God of Small Things to the extraordinary The Ministry of Utmost Happiness: a journey marked by compassion, clarity and courage. Radical and readable, they speak always in defence of the collective, of the individual and of the land, in the face of the destructive logic of financial, social, religious, military and governmental elites.
In constant conversation with the themes and settings of her novels, the essays form a near-unbroken memoir of Arundhati Roy's journey as both a writer and a citizen, of both India and the world, from 'The End of Imagination', which begins this book, to 'My Seditious Heart', with which it ends.

'every page gifts you her far seeing, her calm and intelligent urgency, the wisdom and relief of her articulacy, her courage' * Ali Smith *
Arundhati Roy is one of the most confident and original thinkers of our time -- Naomi Klein
Arundhati Roy calls for 'factual precision' alongside of the 'real precision of poetry.' Remarkably, she combines those achievements to a degree that few can hope to approach -- Noam Chomsky
Arundhati Roy combines her brilliant style as a novelist with her powerful commitment to social justice in producing these eloquent, penetrating essays -- Howard Zinn
The scale of what Roy surveys is staggering. Her pointed indictment is devastating * New York Times Book Review *
Arundhati Roy is one of the few great revolutionary intellectuals in our time . . . courageous, visionary, and erudite -- Cornel West

Four people struck by car in York City
Sean Philip Cotter
505-5437/@SPCotterYD
Four pedestrians were struck by a minivan in York City.
The driver had a "medical emergency" before the crash, police believe.
Four people were transported to local hospitals after being hit Friday morning by a minivan on a York City sidewalk.
The vehicle's driver, who also was taken to a hospital, appeared to have had a "medical emergency" that led to him losing control of a white Chevrolet about 11:15 a.m. and driving down the sidewalk for the better part of two blocks, according to York City Police.
About 20 minutes after the crash, emergency personnel had closed down the entire 100 block of South George Street, where they continued to load people into ambulances. One man, lying on a stretcher, gave a thumbs-up as medical personnel put him into the back of an ambulance. No further information about the patients' conditions or identities was available at the scene, which was in front of York City Hall.
White Rose Ambulance tweeted that they transported four patients to York Hospital and one patient to Memorial Hospital.
Witness: Eddie Poteet said his family had just come out of Family First Health at 116 S. George St. and crossed the road when the crash happened.
"We heard a bunch of noise, and we seen it jump the curb," he said.
Police confirmed the minivan jumped onto the sidewalk at the corner of South George Street and East Mason Avenue and continued south down George, crossing West King Street at the crosswalk before getting back up on the sidewalk and continuing much of the way down the block. The driver then hit a tree and came to a stop.
It was in the 100 block of South George Street where the car struck the pedestrians, police said. Officers on the scene said they believed the people struck had been hit outside of Family First Health.
Poteet said he ran back across the street to help. The driver appeared to be an elderly man. The man was conscious, Poteet said, but seemed to be in a state of shock, arms rigid, still clinging to the wheel.
Poteet said it sounded like the engine had been revving all the way down the street.
"Sounded like a train going through a building," he said.
He said one woman appeared to be seriously injured.
An hour after the incident, debris littered the road. The minivan had come to a halt in the 100 block of South George Street, badly damaged. It had left one of its wheels about 20 feet down the block. A small canopy outside one of the stores lay askew, with pieces of plants scattered around it.
One block north, in the first block of South George, where police say the driver originally jumped the curb, tire marks, pieces of the vehicle and road signs had been flung all over the sidewalk.
It was right near there where Adam Bupp had been waiting in his truck in front of the LettUsKnow cafe when the minivan's mirror clipped his pickup truck's mirror, just grazing it enough to leave a small scratch.
The car then jumped the curb in front of him outside the Fulton Bank on that block.
"It hit that sign square on," he said, indicating a road sign that had been completely shorn off its base. A piece of metal stuck a foot out of the ground, with the rest of the signpost and the "No parking" sign several yards away.
"It was the craziest thing I ever seen," Bupp said.
One block south, Courtney Lewis, Family First's director of development, was in a stairwell on the first floor when she heard the crash.
"It literally sounded like a bomb went off in the building," she said. "And then we heard all this screaming."
Lewis isn't a doctor or nurse, but many of her co-workers are — the nonprofit organization includes medical and dental facilities, much like those of a private practice. So Lewis ran out to the scene and immediately found two people bleeding on the ground.
Her clinically trained colleagues ran out, too, and quickly began tending to the victims of the crash.
"It's horrible that it happened, but I'm grateful it happened right outside Family First," she said, adding that she was proud of how quickly and professionally the staff operated.
As her colleagues from the medical side gave their brand of aid to the victims, Lewis was able to help, too, she said. She sat down with a woman whose legs appeared injured and tried to provide comfort.
"She really just wanted someone to hold her hand," Lewis said.

Gary Gilmore
American murderer
Robert Lewis
Last Updated: May 30, 2019 See Article History
Alternative Titles: Faye Robert Coffman, Gary Mark Gilmore
Gary Gilmore, in full Gary Mark Gilmore, original name Faye Robert Coffman, (born December 4, 1940, McCamey, Texas, U.S.—died January 17, 1977, Draper, Utah), American murderer whose execution by the state of Utah in 1977 ended a de facto nationwide moratorium on capital punishment that had lasted nearly 10 years. His case also attracted widespread attention because Gilmore resisted efforts made on his behalf to commute the sentence.
Gilmore was the second of four sons born to a petty criminal, Frank Gilmore, Sr., and his wife. His name was originally registered as Faye Robert Coffman, because the family was using Coffman as an alias at the time of his birth, but he always used Gary Gilmore. In his youth Gilmore was often beaten by his father. After years of traveling, the family settled in Portland, Oregon, in 1948.
Gilmore had intelligence and artistic talent but turned to criminal behaviour at an early age. After stealing a car when he was 14, he was sent to MacLaren's Reform School for Boys in Woodburn, Oregon. Released a year later, he resumed his criminal activities. Between 1960 and 1961 he was incarcerated at the Oregon State Correctional Institution on a larceny charge. In 1962 in Vancouver, Washington, he was arrested for driving with an open container of alcohol and without a license, and he was sentenced to serve a term at Rocky Butte Jail in Portland.
In 1964 Gilmore received a sentence of 15 years imprisonment for assault and armed robbery. Released from Oregon State Penitentiary in 1972 to attend school, he instead committed an armed robbery in Portland. As a prisoner in Oregon, Gilmore frequently made trouble for his jailers. They treated him with the antipsychotic drug Prolixin and finally arranged for his transfer to the federal penitentiary in Marion, Illinois, then a maximum security facility, in January 1975.
Gilmore was released on parole from Marion on April 9, 1976, into the custody of his cousin Brenda Nicol, who lived in Provo, Utah. Nicol arranged for Gilmore to be employed in the shoe-repair shop of her father, Vern Damico. Gilmore also did work for an insulation company, and he soon formed a romantic relationship with 19-year-old Nicole Baker Barrett. However, Gilmore continued to commit petty thefts, and he drank heavily.
After several months of dating, Barrett became fearful of his violent outbursts and broke up with him. Shortly thereafter Gilmore embarked on his murder spree. On July 19, 1976, he robbed a gas station in Orem, Utah, and shot and killed the attendant, Max Jensen, even though Jensen, by Gilmore's own account, complied with all his demands. The following day, while his pickup truck was being repaired in Provo, he walked into a nearby motel and fatally shot the manager, Ben Bushnell. Bushnell's wife saw Gilmore as he fled with the motel cashbox. While attempting to discard the gun, Gilmore shot himself in the hand, leaving a wound that the garage owner noticed when Gilmore came back for the truck. When Gilmore called Nicol for help, she turned him in to the police.
Gilmore was tried only for Bushnell's murder because that case was especially strong. The trial began a mere 11 weeks after the killing and lasted just three days. Despite his efforts to convince the jury that he had acted while insane, Gilmore was convicted on October 7 and sentenced to death. He had been eligible for the death penalty only since July 2, when the U.S. Supreme Court reinstated capital punishment nationally.
During the last three months of his life, the media made Gilmore a household name, and death penalty opponents made him a cause célèbre. Gilmore himself confounded his would-be saviours—who were bringing up constitutionality issues in the new Utah death penalty law—with his openly expressed wish to die. During this time he went on a hunger strike and twice attempted suicide with pills. The execution date, originally November 15, 1976, was delayed two times. A request for a stay of execution, made on behalf of Gilmore's mother, reached the U.S. Supreme Court, which ruled on December 13 that the execution could proceed. Gilmore chose death by firing squad, an uncommon method of execution not available in most states. His last words to the executioners, "Let's do it," were widely quoted thereafter.
Gilmore's death did not bring on an immediate wave of executions. By the end of 1982, only five more criminals—three of whom, like Gilmore, had voluntarily given up the appeal process—had been put to death. But the pace subsequently quickened: in the first 40 years after Gilmore's death, 1,443 convicts were executed in the United States.
Gilmore was the subject of a fact-based novel, The Executioner's Song (1979), for which Norman Mailer was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for fiction. Mailer adapted the book into a teleplay for a film (1982; released theatrically in Europe) that starred Tommy Lee Jones as Gilmore, in an Emmy Award-winning performance. Shot in the Heart (1994), a memoir of Gilmore and his family by his younger brother Mikal Gilmore, was also made into a television film (2001).

The historical record of laws related to Cheques
Iran Cheque Law adopted by the National Council in 1976 outlines in 23 articles the types of Cheques that can be issued and the procedures to be followed to issue them but does not contain appropriate regulations regarding the conditions facing violators of these articles.
Following this, in 1993, the Islamic Council and the Guardian Council approved the "Amendment of Articles of the Cheque Issuance Law approved in July 1976". Afterward, the law 'Amendment of Articles of the Cheque Issuance Law' approved in 2003 was amended, annexed, and consolidated. The Islamic Council approved the law amending the Cheque law in 2018.
According to the codified laws of Iran, the legal provisions of the Iran Cheque Law are contained in Articles 310 to 317 of the Trade Law (approved in 1932), and in this law, a variety of legal elements and dimensions are fully considered, but the general law approved in 1925 remains silent when it comes to the criminal aspect of the penal code.
It should be noted, however, that the legislator eliminated this shortcoming within the context of fraud, as discussed in Article 238 of the law, and he approved an additional article, referred to as repeated Article 238 of the General Penal Code in 1933, which treated it as a separate offense.
In addition, in 1952 and 1953, other laws regarding bounced and guaranteed cheques were approved, and finally, on May 25, 1965, the bounced cheque law was passed replacing that law, and also the cheque issue law was approved in June 1976 with amendments in 1993, 1997, and 2003 which changes from The idea of criminalizing cheque development and accepting the late payment rule has been approved by the legislator and is subject to judicial action.
As a matter of international trade rules, an international memorandum was accepted in Geneva on March 11, 1931, to facilitate international trade as a result of the cheque uniform law and the conflict between the cheque laws and the stamp duties that the contracting countries had agreed on.

On December 22, Monsignor Fernando Ocáriz, auxiliary vicar of Opus Dei, publically convoked the Congress that will elect Bishop Javier Echevarría's successor as head of the Prelature. On January 21, a plenary session of the Council for women in the Prelature will be held in Rome, which will present to the Congress a list of suggestions for candidates. The voting of the elective Congress will begin on January 23.
How are the people in the Prelature of Opus Dei living this period of preparation for the election of the new Prelate. As auxiliary vicar, what are your sentiments during these days?
I think that all of us, both men and women, in the Prelature are trying to foster during this period a spirit of prayer, going especially to the Holy Spirit. In fact, the elective Congress will begin with the votive Mass of the Holy Spirit, to ask for guidance in all our steps. Faith gives us the certainty that our Lord is leading his Church, and therefore also this portion of his people.
Moreover, this time of Christmas will help us prepare our heart for the elective Congress, by directing our eyes to what is essential: to Jesus, the Child-God, the face of the Father's Mercy. In contemplating the mystery at Bethlehem, we will also find our Lady, Mother of the Church, and we will have recourse to her intercession.
We are living these days closely united to the Holy Father Francis and the whole Church, of which Opus Dei is a small part. Naturally, we also have a great sense of gratitude for the pastoral guidance and good example Bishop Javier Echevarría left us.
Following Saint Josemaría's footsteps and the witness of his first two successors, we are pondering in our heart on the inheritance we have received, which we need to pass on as light and consolation for today's world, just as Christ's disciples have tried to do over the centuries. I am certain that we will unite ourselves wholeheartedly to the Prelate who is elected, to help him guide the Prelature in current-day society.
In the two previous elections, the "number 2" in Opus Dei was chosen as Prelate. In 1975, Blessed Alvaro del Portillo, who for many years had been the Founder's main assistant. Then, with Bishop Del Portillo's death, the vicar general, Bishop Javier Echevarría, was elected. Do you think this trend might repeat itself in future elections?
It's true that this was the case in the previous elections. I think this was due to the special situation of the first two successors, who were formed directly by Saint Josemaría. The electors voted in conscience for these persons. It wasn't an automatic process. It seemed best to them to elect those who had worked most closely with the Founder.
Now circumstances have changed somewhat. The new Prelate won't be someone who worked so directly with the Founder as Blessed Alvaro del Portillo and Bishop Javier Echevarría did, although they may have known and interacted with him.
In my opinion, the elective Congress has before it many worthy candidates, who have the virtues and prudence needed to take on this responsibility. The electors have the responsibility to vote, in conscience, for the person they consider best suited. The name of the person chosen will be sent right away to Pope Francis, since the confirmation of the Roman Pontiff is required.
When an election takes place, public opinion tends to view things in political terms, speaking often about "currents," "trends" etc. What is your reaction when things are focused in this way?
These interpretations are far removed from how those who experience this election as a spiritual and ecclesial reality view it. Those who have the responsibility for an election like this, place their trust in the "current" of the Holy Spirit, as Pope Francis encouraged us to do a few days ago, when speaking about the immediate future of Opus Dei.
The two previous Prelates worked directly with the Founder. Does the election of the third Prelate open up a new epoch in Opus Dei?
There come to mind some words that Bishop Echevarría often told us: "Opus Dei is in your hands, in the hands of each person in the Work." This is a reality that now takes on new force. The current circumstances are a call to responsibility, since each of us has to strive more diligently to incarnate the legacy of Saint Josemaría in the world as it is now, for people today.
Certainly, whoever is elected Prelate will be able to rely on the prayer of the faithful of Opus Dei and of so many other people. He will also have the support of the team he assembles, and work alongside others. Collegiality is another key feature of Saint Josemaría's legacy.
What do you see as the main challenges that the new Prelate of Opus Dei will face?
The principal challenge is helping each person in Opus Dei to learn to build up the Church in their own place of work and professional environment, in the world of culture and the family. By their Christian witness, the Prelature's faithful can help people today to find Christ in "the middle of the street," in a society that each day is becoming more varied. Thus the need exists to carry out a catechesis that is up to date in the world of the professions, right where people today find themselves.
Another challenge is giving joy and hope to today's world. Not to an ideal world but to this complex world of ours, riven with wounds and so in need of charity. In other words, sanctifying ordinary life today, bringing Christ to all the existential peripheries, as Pope Francis reminds us.
There will also be the need to strengthen the personal initiative of thousands of people who, spurred by love for Christ and other men and women, will be able to begin initiatives that respond to the great challenges of our day and age: fostering professional honor and ethics, the struggle against poverty, help for refugees, the fight against unemployment, strengthening the family, etc. In summary, hopefully we can contribute to building up the Church as the "world reconciled with God," as Saint Augustine said.
Romana, No. 63, July-December 2016, p. 324-327.

Use semi-formal Polish for translation, some specifics:

* Informal "you" (*ty*) instead of more formal approaches (e.g. plural
  "you" (*wy*), using any formal titles like *Państwo*, *Pan/Pani*).

* Gender-neutral forms of verbs, e.g. *unsubscribed* - *odsubskrybowano*,
  not *odsubskrybowałeś".

* Imperative, active and continuous verbs, e.g. *manage streams* -
  *zarządzaj kanałami*, not *zarządź kanałami*.

* Not using reflexive *się*, e.g. *log out* would be simply *wyloguj*,
  not *wyloguj się*.

* Warm and friendly phrasing whenever appropriate.

* No slang or regional phrases that could be unclear or too informal,
  e.g. *zajawka*.

* Consistent usage of Zulip-specific terms and common verbs for
  actions, even if it means repeating - this is one of the key aspects
  of "semi-formal", as synonyms would be often more appropriate in
  written Polish.

* Mindful usage of long words and phrases - it's sometimes hard to
  translate English to Polish concisely, be mindful of how it looks on
  the frontend after translating.

* Balance common verbs and nouns with specific IT-related translations
  of English terms - this can be tricky, try to check how other
  resources were translated (e.g. Gmail, Microsoft websites, Facebook)
  to decide what wouldn't sound awkward in Polish.

Some terms are very tricky to translate, so be sure to communicate
with other Polish speakers in the community. It's all about making
Zulip friendly and usable.

Large-scale testing, or what many know as standardized testing, often carries important consequences for students. The results of large-scale tests may be used by schools or policy-makers to make important decisions such as grouping students by ability or assessing how well schools are doing.
Yet when it comes to literacy testing, while the competencies of literacy have changed in our digital, globalized world, the methods that many educational systems use to assess literacy have not.
One recent analysis of standardized tests in the United States, for example, found tests haven't changed much over the last 100 years: tests are mostly multiple choice, with questions geared toward assessing skills like vocabulary, recall and comprehension.
In Canada today, on such large-scale standardized tests, students are likely to read a passage and answer a series of multiple-choice questions. Students might have an opportunity to write a short answer or essay response. Provincial tests, for the most part, continue to prioritize measuring traditional literacy skills of reading and writing with answers primarily communicated via pencil-to-paper. Such a testing structure forms the basis for public accountability in many provinces.
Across Canada, researchers and educators have documented the need to transform how the provinces assess literacy and consider more innovative designs. Testing should accurately capture what children are learning without detracting from authentic teaching and learning.
Formerly, literacy was broadly understood to encompass four domains: reading, writing, speaking and listening. But today, how we define literacy has changed.
Firstly, literacy is now understood to involve skills and knowledge related to all modes of visual representation and digital communications. Today's students tend to read shorter texts within a variety of platforms on social media, websites and apps. Schools now teach literacy through visual, moving image and even sound-based texts that children and teenagers encounter when reading and writing online.
These forms of literacy teaching and learning — both multimedia literacy related to varied forms of representation and expression and applied literacy — are called multiliteracies.
Large-scale literacy testing needs to keep pace with how the skills related to these concepts are practised in classooms, assessed by teachers and mandated by provincial curriculum.
Overall, curriculum is increasingly emphasizing a more holistic concept of literacy development. The English curriculum in Ontario acknowledges students' literacy development is not understood solely as reading and writing. B.C and Alberta similarly recognize the changing nature of literacy.
The need to reconsider large-scale testing formats was recently acknowledged by Andreas Schleicher, director for the directorate of education and skills for the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) — the organization that administers the most prominent cross-comparative test in the world, the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA). He recently said PISA is trying to move away from multiple choice to have more adaptive, engaging formats.
When we understand literacy to also be about developing adaptive and connective skills in our rapidly changing world, we can see that such decisions to transform assessment are not potentially downplaying literacy, but rather, potentially enhancing it.
In Canada, assessment reforms and innovations are slowly taking shape. For example, British Columbia revised its Foundational Skills Assessments in 2018 to include collaboration and self-reflection. Alberta also made changes to large-scale provincial achievement tests to focus on assessment for learning rather than assessment of learning.
And in Ontario, a 2018 report to the premier recommended replacing the Ontario secondary school literacy test, now a graduation requirement. Researchers who conducted the review (including one of the authors of this story, Carol), as well as those invited to comment as assessment experts (Chris and Louis), made a number of other recommendations including integrating technology for large-scale asessment of students' learning and progress.
If we are to support literacy skills for the 21st century then we must explore how large-scale testing might capture students' contemporary literacy competencies, and also how the testing itself might integrate contemporary practices and understandings of literacy.
For example, computerized testing could allow for timely feedback that would close the gap between testing and feedback for learning. Right now, any curricular changes to address demonstrated gaps in learning are often communicated months after the large-scale test.
We need to change how we assess literacy. Ministries of education have the expertise and capacity to modernize our assessment systems. We are hoping there is the political will to do so.

Capitals Perspective
Perspective Interpretation of the news based on evidence, including data, as well as anticipating how events might unfold based on past events
The Capitals said they wouldn't be dominant this season. Now do you believe them?

It took all of 17 seconds for Thursday night's Washington Capitals game in Denver to smell putrid, because that's precisely when Colorado forward Gabriel Landeskog poked a puck past reeling goaltender Philipp Grubauer to put the Avalanche up for good. Nice trip, boys, losses by a combined 12-5 at Nashville and Colorado. You've got four straight home games coming up. Fix it, or . . . what?
The Capitals spent much time talking about how things would be different this season. Don't expect a Presidents' Trophy, they said. Don't expect a division title, a top seed, statistically overwhelming performances, any of it. Expect — and somehow embrace — the struggles.
But preparing a fan base — and, by now, let's be honest, a spoiled fan base — for that kind of bumpy ride and then enduring it are two different things. Turns out rolling over those rocks in the road hurts your backside, even if you knew they were coming.
The Caps have played 20 games, almost exactly a quarter of their schedule. They have won 10 times and lost 10 times (though one of those was in overtime, so they secured a point). They have allowed more goals than they have scored. If the season ended right now — which, clearly, it doesn't — they would squeeze into the playoffs with the second wild-card spot in the East.
Feels different, doesn't it?
"I'm like everybody else around here," Capitals General Manager Brian MacLellan said this week, before the two disasters. "You're a little frustrated. You're used to a certain standard. We had a good run. We got spoiled with a high level of play the last two years. There's a give-and-take there."
Spoken by the general manager, but apply it to the locker room and the fan base, too.
What we have to remind ourselves of, with three-quarters of the season remaining, is that this new team can't be evaluated by its old standards. That's the balance this Caps team faces, such a change from the Cup-or-bust days of the recent past. By what standards should they be evaluated? Certainly, losses of 6-3 to the Predators and an absolutely noncompetitive 6-2 clunker against the Avalanche aren't acceptable. Not last year. But not this year, either.
"We have to look at ourselves and make changes," captain Alex Ovechkin told The Post's Isabelle Khurshudyan and other reporters after the Denver debacle.
"I'm absolutely disappointed, angry, a lot of different emotions," Coach Barry Trotz said afterward. "I expected a lot better."
[Caps' pattern of slow starts continues in two-game skid this week]
That's the in-the-moment frustration stuff, and it's healthy. Realistic aspirations for an 82-game regular season aside, there is room to be incensed after the two most recent performances. And it can make you think about what it was like last year, when the Caps were 13-5-2 after 20 games, or the year before, when they were 14-5-1. By comparison — and we have to stop comparing, but it's hard — 10-9-1 feels like failing, even if it's really not.
And it's only natural to think: What if there could have been one more year with the band back together, with defenseman Karl Alzner (gone to Montreal) and veteran Justin Williams (gone to Carolina) and forward Marcus Johansson (traded to New Jersey)?
"You miss things the guys we had did well," MacLellan said. "Alzner on the PK. Williams's presence. Johansson on the power play. And you kind of say, 'If so-and-so was here, that would've been better.' "
Stop that. Stop it, because it's not what this season is about.
This season is about the development of rookie defensemen Christian Djoos and Madison Bowey, about seeing whether they can be a part of — indeed, be central pieces of — a juggernaut in the future. It's about evaluating the very significant bets placed on winger T.J. Oshie and center Evgeny Kuznetsov, who were both paid to stay here long-term and must be part of the solution both now and later. It's about getting backup goaltender Grubauer right, not just because he was in net in Denver, but because he has lost all six of his starts and he needs to turn it around if he's going to be the valuable trade piece the Caps hoped he would be when the season started.
"The young defensemen have played well overall," MacLellan said. "It's been going the right way. I think the big concern is when it doesn't [go the right way], when it starts to go the other way. Do they lose confidence?"
That point would be now. Before the Caps left for Nashville and Colorado, they had won five of six — with the only loss coming in Buffalo on the second night of a back-to-back, a bugaboo thus far for this Washington team, which is 0-4 and has been outscored 17-5 in such situations. After the struggles of this week, it can be hard to remember the Capitals just thumped rival Pittsburgh at home last Friday, then squeezed out a win Sunday over Edmonton in what could have been a letdown game.
[More Capitals coverage from The Washington Post]
Now comes an amazing stretch that could determine the course of the season: nine of the next 10 at home. And it's worth pointing out that, entering Friday night's schedule, Tampa Bay had separated itself somewhat in the East, but no other team in the conference had more than 26 points. Indeed, the Caps were one of nine teams with between 20 and 26 points.
They're right there on the edge. With improvement, they're in the middle of it all. That's all you can ask from this group, this year at this time. We were told, before it all started, it was going to be different this time around. Now that it actually is different, now that it actually feels different, we can't act surprised.
"I always thought the second half would be where we'd know better what we are," MacLellan said.
In the recent past, when the second half arrived, the Caps knew who they were. This season, there can be frustration in the moment. But there must be joy in the discovery, too.

Google Pixel Watch Review
Google's eager to conquer the smartwatch market, but it needs more time.
By Tom Jorgensen
Updated: Oct 28, 2022 4:12 pm
Posted: Oct 28, 2022 4:00 pm
I've been a Pixel phone owner since day one in 2016, and though I've happily stuck with Google's mainline phones ever since, I've always had a nagging feeling of jealousy any time I saw an Apple user with their first-party smartwatches. No longer: Google established the deep interconnectivity of its software ecosystem as one of the main draws of its hardware lineup and that carries through to the release of its long-awaited wearable, the Pixel Watch. In the same way that the first Pixel convinced me Google was onto something with its smartphone design, the Pixel Watch represents a confident, exciting first step into new territory for the company that has a lot of room for iteration and improvement in the future.
Pixel Watch - Design and Features
The $349.99-$399.99 Pixel Watch is a slick match for the Pixel phones: the finish on the matte black LTE model I've been spending my time with complements both the glossy black glass of the face and my matching Pixel 6 Pro. The watch face is 41 mm and boasts a vibrant AMOLED display that renders text and images very clearly on the small round screen. Much has been made about the Pixel Watch's bezel, which noticeably encroaches on the display's real estate, but I'd be lying if I said it bothered me in any functional sense once I got used to it. In fact, the way the bezel blends into the curve of the watch face almost makes the more limited screen space feel like a design choice… but that doesn't mean it's not something Google should have its eyes on improving for the first revision. I do have serious concerns about breakability: the sides of the watch face aren't reinforced at all, so it seems like one drop from more than a couple feet might be enough to smash it. Fortunately, I have yet to test that theory.
The crown, which doubles as a home button, features nice, subtle haptic feedback as you twist it, and conveniently brings up your quick settings and notifications screens from the main screen, but I didn't find it more convenient than swiping for navigation most of the time. The crown represents one of only two issues I take with the Pixel Watch's design: it feels just a little loose and I worry that catching it on the edge of a table or door just once may be enough to pop the top of it right off. The side of the Pixel Watch opposite the crown is home to its microphone and speaker, both of which I found to be of adequate and expected quality for a portable smart device that fits on my wrist and can make phone calls.

Aside from that flimsy-feeling crown, I'm not entirely sold on the responsiveness of the touchscreen. General swiping is fine, but even drawing the pattern for my unlock code reveals that accuracy isn't quite perfect for fine inputs, and that's before you even talk about tapping out a message with fat fingers (though slide-to-type is surprisingly usable).
In addition to the crown, the Pixel Watch has a dedicated multi-use button for calling up recent apps and summoning your Google Assistant. You definitely won't be hitting this one by mistake, as actuating the button requires some intentional force that requires bracing the other side of the watch with another finger.
There's a selection of first-party wristbands available for the Pixel Watch at launch, with more premium metal bands on the way, and I've been alternating between the Active and Stretch variations, the former of which is included in the box. The silicone Active Band gets points for keeping the Pixel Watch snug on my wrist, but I've noticed I pinch myself frequently when feeding the strap through its loop. Switching to the smaller band available in the box mitigated, but didn't eliminate this problem. The Stretch Band feels like the one I'll be going with more often: the corded material has just the right amount of grip and allows you to position the Pixel Watch exactly where you want it with much more ease.
It's also much easier to charge the watch using the USB-C magnetic cable (which looks very similar to the Apple Watch's version) with the Stretch Band on: the slack of the stiffer silicone band means that it can sometimes take an extra few seconds to balance the watch on a surface, whereas the Stretch Band holds a more consistent shape. I did find that the app button was easier to trigger with the Active Band on, as the looser fit of the Stretch Band meant that the watch would move when I tried to press it.
The Pixel Watch features an array of fitness tracking sensors on the back, including ones for heart rate and blood oxygen, though the latter has yet to be enabled. The free six months of Fitbit Premium that come with it ($9.99/month afterwards) make it easy to start collating all that data, and for someone like me that needs to gamify their fitness whenever possible that's much appreciated. The Pixel Watch also has built-in sleep tracking, though I've noticed that data doesn't always line up with when I went to sleep and woke up, and sometimes doesn't seem to register at all.

Pixel Watch - Software
After years of using partner smartwatches as guinea pigs, Google finally gets to showcase its Wear OS on its own hardware. As with most Google products, setting up the Pixel Watch and getting it to communicate with my Pixel 6 Pro was a cinch. Essentially, there's not much more setup than taking the watch out of the box and turning it on; my Pixel immediately registered it and we were off to the races.
The bite-sized Android experience centers around swiping from app tile to app tile, each of which present an at-a-glance look at things like the weather or your health info like your heart rate, with the option to tap in to get a more detailed readout of the information in question. Mostly, I haven't found myself diving deep on the apps anyway, so the design of each individual tile has become a great area of interest for me: what crucial elements does each app decide to have represented above the fold, so to speak? How does that get balanced with a clean user experience? Google-developed apps seem to err towards a "less is more" design that seems like the right move for most tiles, like the attractive and simple Weather tile; the Agenda tile, on the other hand, could use something other than just white text in the middle of a black screen to make it more useful.
Navigating on walks with Google Maps was easy enough – the Pixel Watch's GPS tracking felt reliable and I didn't notice any drift on the circular GTA minimap-style readout. But the Pixel Watch Maps app doesn't offer the full functionality of its phone-based counterpart (no transit directions yet, for example) and could use some smarter integration into the phone's UI: there's a little static arrow icon on the home tile that indicates when you're using navigation, and it feels like a missed opportunity to not have that arrow constantly pointing toward your destination to make it easier to glance down and reorient yourself without having to call the full map back up.
But the Pixel Watch wasn't always the Google wrist-topia I'd hoped for, cute as being able to remotely take a photo with my phone's camera may be. Google touts the benefits of using multiple of its gadgets together to unlock maximum functionality, and yet I can't activate my Google Assistant by holding in my Pixel Bud if it's connected only to the Pixel Watch and not to my Pixel 6 Pro. What the Pix-hell? And as someone who spends a lot of time in Google Meet video calls, not having any functionality from that app on my watch is frustrating.
There are some easy and obvious misses in which of Google's apps were chosen to debut with the Pixel Watch (where's Authenticator!?), something it'll have to catch up with in future updates. It's an especially pronounced shortfall, as third-party support for Wear OS apps doesn't appear all that strong right now. I still use Facebook's Messenger as my primary messaging app, but because there's no Messenger app for Wear OS I'm forced to open the app on my phone to respond rather than being able to reply in-line with slide-to-type. That's one shortfall we can be all but assured will be improved upon over the Pixel Watch's lifespan, but something to be aware of if you're thinking of adopting early.
Google's Pixel phones have historically had pretty strong battery life, and Google made an effort to match that standard with its Pixel Watch. Overall, I've found the advertised "up to 24 hours" number to be pretty accurate. Especially on days where I had my phone more readily available and wasn't using more battery-hungry features like GPS navigation, hitting that 24-hour mark was usually no problem. Charge times were also in line with Google's advertised expectations: it takes about a half hour to charge the Pixel Watch from 0 to 50%, and then roughly another hour and a half to fill the rest of the battery. Especially in instances where my watch was dead and I just wanted it for a walk down to the store, that quick battery top-off time was appreciated.
As I've been testing out the $399.99 LTE model, I've been taking the watch out without my phone to see how it handles itself in the wild without its smartphone big brother to tether onto. Thus far I haven't noticed any drops in service, so knowing whether this or the Bluetooth/Wi-Fi model is for you comes down to whether the Watch itself has enough apps to get you there and back again.
The Pixel Watch's focus on being a really good first watch for Google is reflected in restricting the first generation to just a LTE-capable version, priced at $399.99, and a less-expensive Bluetooth/Wi-Fi variant, available for $349.99. That's a full $100 cheaper than Samsung's Galaxy Watch5 line and in line with Apple's mid-tier Series 8 watch. The Pixel Watch is available at Google, Amazon, and Best Buy.
As mentioned, there are five different bands available right now: Active ($49.99), Stretch ($59.99), Woven ($59.99), Crafted Leather ($79.99), and Two-Tone Leather ($79.99), with two metal options coming next year that will range from $130-$200.
Google's premiere smartwatch is a rock-solid wearable that complements its Pixel phones well. A vibrant display and attractive design make the Pixel Watch easy to like looking down at, and the battery life lives up to the 24-hour claims, but a limited selection of apps and less-than-stellar integration with Google's own hardware ecosystem means that it may not be quite time to leave your phone at home.
Google's first smartwatch is a solid first attempt, despite a limited selection of apps and less-than-stellar integration with Google's own hardware ecosystem.

Q: Creating an object from the show action of another object in Rails So I have a fairly typical blog application with posts and comments.
Each comment belongs to one post
A post can have many comments.
Basically I want to add a form for comments to the show action for posts, without having post_id under attr_accessible in the comment model.
In my posts controller I have:
def show
    @post = Post.find(params[:id])
    @poster = "#{current_user.name} #{current_user.surname} (#{current_user.email})"
    @comment = @post.comments.build( poster: @poster )
  end

I'm not entirely sure what I should be doing in the comments controller (I'm not confident that the code above is right either if I'm honest). At the moment I have:
 def create
  @post = Post.find(params[:post_id])
  @comment = @post.comments.build(params[:post])
  if @comment.save
    redirect_to @post, notice: "Comment posted"
  else
    redirect_to @post, error: "Error!"
  end
end

My routes:
  resources :comments

  resources :posts do
    resources :comments
  end

and finally the form:
<%= form_for @post.comments.build do |f| %>
        <%= f.label :content, "WRITE COMMENT" %>
        <%= f.text_area :content, rows: 3 %>
        <%= f.hidden_field :post_id, value: @post.id %>
        <%= f.submit "Post" %>
    <% end %>

The problem here is that I have no way of passing my post_id from the show action of the posts controller to the create action of the comments controller. Any help is much appreciated. Thank you in advance!

A: Your posts controller looks fine... but assuming your routes looks like
resources :posts do
  resources :comments
end

then your CommentsController#create should/could look like:
def create
  @post = Post.find(params[:post_id])
  @comment = @post.comments.build(params[:comment])
  if @comment.save
    redirect_to @post, notice: "Comment posted"
  else
    redirect_to @post, error: "Error!"
  end
end

And your form:
<%= form_for [@post, @comment] do |f| %>
    <%= f.hidden_field :poster, value: @poster %>
    <%= f.label :content, "WRITE COMMENT" %>
    <%= f.text_area :content, rows: 3 %>
    <%= f.submit "Post" %>
<% end %>

A: The URL for your show post should be like post/show/(:id).
Now, in the comment form, you can place a hidden field, with value of params[:id].
hidden_field(:post_id, :value => params[:id])

When you submit your form, you can get the value of post_id using the hidden field.
def create
        @comment = Comment.new(params[:comment])
        @comment.post_id = params[:post_id]

        if @comment.save
          flash[:notice] = 'Comment posted.'
          redirect_to post_path(@comment.post_id)
        else
          flash[:notice] = "Error!"
          redirect_to post_path(@comment.post_id)
        end
    end

A: I will assume that your post model has_many comments and comment belongs_to post
than you in your routes file you can do something like this
resources :posts do
  resources :comments
end

this will give you a url schem such as
/posts/:post_id/comments , allowing you to always have post_id of the comment parrent

Q: PL/SQL Infinite Loop My PL/SQL skills are very limited so I apologize if this is a no brainer.  Basically, I have a loop that iterates through a clob.  The loop has given me problems in the past (infinite loop) when the value of the clob is null.  I tried to build some checks into the code for this loop, however my efforts to prevent an infinite loop fail.
Here are the relevant pieces of the code:
        v_offset        NUMBER DEFAULT 1;
        v_response      CLOB;

        SELECT VALUE
         INTO v_response
         FROM json_cache
        WHERE json_key = 'EMPLOYEES';

       --infinite loop occurs when v_response = ''
       LOOP
          EXIT WHEN v_offset > DBMS_LOB.getlength (v_response)
              or DBMS_LOB.getlength (v_response) = 0
              or v_offset = 400000;
          HTP.prn (DBMS_LOB.SUBSTR (v_response, 20000, v_offset));
          v_offset := v_offset + 20000;
       END LOOP;

Shouldn't the additional conditions in the EXIT WHEN statement prevent an infinite loop from occurring?  How do I terminate/prevent this loop when v_response is empty?  I would like to avoid wrapping this loop in an if statement and would prefer a guard in the loop.

A: You can always check for a null value:
loop

A: You can add additional control at the end like this;
DECLARE
    v_offset        NUMBER DEFAULT 1;
    v_response      CLOB;
BEGIN
    SELECT VALUE
     INTO v_response
     FROM json_cache
     WHERE json_key = 'EMPLOYEES';

   --infinite loop occurs when v_response = ''
   LOOP
      EXIT WHEN v_offset > DBMS_LOB.getlength (v_response)
          or DBMS_LOB.getlength (v_response) = 0
          or v_offset = 400000;
      HTP.prn (DBMS_LOB.SUBSTR (v_response, 20000, v_offset));
      v_offset := v_offset + 20000;

      if v_response is null then
         exit;
      end if;
   END LOOP;
END;


Besides John Carlton, and Gary Halbert, who do you think is the best copywriter alive?
Why would you assume that everyone would agree with your estimation of the aforementioned individuals?
According to website builder client.
He tested me against a direct response copywriter.
for web design across the Internet.
Joe Polish, template ad failed.
Acoording to a London ad agency.
On 2 occasions I got called in to save their arse.
acceptable for selling jet lag pills and helicopters.
My ads were approved by their client's.
My point is, it's only a client who thinks you are the best.
Others who hire copywriters think their copywriter is the best.
unless you are after an ego boost.
You're great, could you show me some of your long form sales latter you've written in the past 2 months?
About 2 decades ago I had to sell a damaged product... at full price.
My headline was - "Do You Want To Get Married?"
My offer was - "Look around this town honey, you could do a whole lot worse than me."
because you are the best!
And no obvious objection ("I could also do a lot better!") resolution.
Why is everyone claiming they r the best???
and they all think they have the best copywriter.

Long Arm of the NLAW
Saab expects to complete deliveries of its NLAW (Next-Generation Anti-Tank Weapon) surface-to-surface missile to an undisclosed customer by the end of 2017, the firm has told armadainternational.com.
On 28 December 2016, the company announced that it had received an order from an unnamed customer for the NLAW. This order expands the armed forces operating the weapon (see below) which was developed as a result of a joint United Kingdom-Sweden effort.
First fielded in 2009, the NLAW is a shoulder-fired weapon which can be used by the individual soldier, using the firms' predicted line-of-sight guidance technique which allows the gunner to 'fire and forget' the missile while assuring a high probability of a first round hit. The NLAW uses a soft-launch mechanism by which the missile's motor ignites a safe distance from the soldier launching the weapon. This permits firing from enclosed spaces with the missile capable of hitting targets at a range of 0.6 kilometres (0.4 miles).
According to open sources, existing NLAW users include Finland, Indonesia, Luxembourg, Sweden and the UK.

This paper describes a framework for "Robo-iku" (education facilitated by robots) at the kindergarten and primary school levels. We believe the concept of "Robo-iku" can help to give a unified approach to the problem of the avoidance of science and technology learning. It can also provide young children with opportunities to develop various skills, such as cooperative skills and/or skills to help them relate well to others. We detail the practical experience of a "monotsukuri" workshop for primary school children, a workshop on designing and building rescue robots. A working definition of "Robo-iku" is provided. The results of the workshop imply that the concept of Robo-iku needs to be further investigated.

Microtubules are structural scaffolding within cells. They're a bit like the poles in a tent, but they're constantly growing and shrinking depending on what the cell needs. They're made up of individual proteins that assemble into tubes by stacking onto each other like a spiral staircase. Similar structures are created from a protein from actin. Actin is one of the components of muscles and can contract to pull a cell into a particular shape. Until recently, it was thought actin only assembled into tubes in the cytoplasm, and existed as individual proteins in the nucleus.
An international collaboration between three research groups has just been awarded a grant to investigate these nuclear actin filaments using optogenetics. Optogenetics uses proteins that are sensitive to light to initiate changes inside cells. This study uses a protein that is folded over under normal conditions, but springs open when exposed to a certain kind of light. Hidden inside the closed version is a filament nucleation site. When the protein springs open microtubule proteins collect at the nucleation site and start to form actin filaments. This protein will be inside the nucleus of cells, and when these cells are exposed to light, actin filaments will form inside the nuclei.
These cells will be photographed using very powerful automated microscopes. Researchers can look at how the nucleus changes under different conditions by sticking fluorescent markers to particular proteins and watching them move around. They can see if the structure of DNA inside the nucleus changes by fixing the DNA in it's current form, slicing it up, and then sequencing each piece to see which ones are usually stuck together.

This is one of those rare pieces of land owned for generations. The western open meadow is sunny and currently being hayed by the Lewis Creek Organic Beef farmer. The entire parcel is in Vt Current Use. The State of VT will allow a portion removed from Current Use to build a home with a small fee owed to the State for that portion being removed. Vt Current Use gives a discount on property taxes. The real secret is a gentle sloping ridge with lovely woodlands and views to the west (once a building envelope has been cleared). Or build in the sun drenched meadow with extensive solar power advantages. The land reaches to the east with the potential for east views also. A pond is located on the northeast corner. Soil data is available - 12 bedrooms of potential septic. Walking the land is a must for full appreciation! Approx 20 acres open meadow-30 acres woodlands that would be easy to clear. The State Wetlands has been to the property in 2013 and a driveway could be built over the small wetland area. Wetland Permits would be needed. This property has engineer soil data and other documentation. The driveway entrance provides access to the small house to the north via a Right of Way. This property is perfect for a wonderful Vermont lifestyle building in the meadow or on the ridge looking to the views and out to the meadows The property on the east side does abut a protected wildlife corridor and will need to be conserved.

Two Black Men Arrested at Starbucks Pleased with Settlement Deal Reached with Philadelphia
Posted byBy Associated Press	| May 2, 2018 CommentsComments (0)

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Two black men arrested for sitting at a Philadelphia Starbucks without ordering anything settled with the city Wednesday for a symbolic $1 each and a promise from officials to set up a $200,000 program for young entrepreneurs.
The men and their lawyer told The Associated Press the settlement was an effort to make sure something positive came out of the incident.
"We thought long and hard about it and we feel like this is the best way to see that change that we want to see," said Donte Robinson, one of those arrested. "It's not a right-now thing that's good for right now, but I feel like we will see the true change over time."
The arrest of Rashon Nelson and Robinson on April 12 touched off a furor around the U.S. over racial profiling. They were led away in handcuffs and accused of trespassing after the manager called police, saying the men refused to buy anything or leave. After spending hours in jail, they were released and no charges were filed.
Their arrest record will be expunged as part of the deal.
The men said they were waiting at the coffee shop in the city's well-to-do Rittenhouse Square neighborhood for a business meeting with a third man about a potential real estate opportunity.
"I am pleased to have resolved the potential claims against the city in this productive manner," Mayor Jim Kenney said. "This was an incident that evoked a lot of pain in our city and put us under a national spotlight for unwanted reasons."
The entrepreneur program will be for Philadelphia public high school students.
Nelson said he considers the incident a case of being at "the wrong place at the right time because of the outcome that can come out of it."
Philadelphia Police Commissioner Richard Ross, who is black, at first defended his officers' conduct, but days later issued a televised apology for the way the Starbucks call was handled.
During the uproar, Starbucks CEO Kevin Johnson came to Philadelphia to apologize to the men. He also announced that more than 8,000 Starbucks stores in the U.S. would close on the afternoon of May 29 so nearly 175,000 employees can get training in unconscious bias.

In recent years, the procurement activities of goods and technologies related to Weapons of Mass Destructions (WMDs) by the entities of concern, including countries of concern and terrorist groups, have increased sophistication by utilising the means of such as export circumvention or the use of alias. Asian countries and regions are facing increased risk as a point of production or transshipment of WMDs by entities of concern. In order to effectively prevent the proliferation of WMDs as well as to maintain the international security, it is necessary to implement rigorous export control in concert amongst Asian counties and regions.
Based on this situation, Japan has been organising "Joint Industry Outreach Seminar" from 2003 JFY that aims to enhance the effectiveness of the export control of the local firms in Asian countries as well as Japanese firms in that country, and "Asian Export Control Seminar" from 1993 JFY that aims to assist export control officers in Asian countries and regions.
