Chlorpyrifos is often used as part of an Integrated Pest Management program. The goal of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs is to sustainably manage insect, weed, and disease (pathogen) pests in an environmentally sensitive way that also protects human health and the economic viability of farms.
– Ronald B. Hammond, Entomologist, Ohio State University.
Chlorpyrifos' broad-spectrum effectiveness on target pests, flexibility for use in multiple delivery systems, and relatively short persistence has resulted in its adoption in integrated pest management programs (IPMs) in cropping systems around the world. Despite its extensive use for over 40 years there have been few instances of significant resistance by pests. Chlorpyrifos is a reliable rotation partner in insect resistance management programs that helps preserve the long-term effectiveness of insecticides with other modes of action. All of this contributes to reduced use of other pesticides, such as pyrethroids, which may be more harmful to beneficial insects. And this can lead to reduced farming costs, and allow growers to keep the cost of the produce lower, and a sustainable food supply.
As with any pesticide product, labeling strictly regulates how and when products may be used for effective pest management. Labeling also spells out any required or recommended precautions or practices to be employed for ensuring human and environmental protection. Labeling content is rigorously reviewed and subject to approval by both EPA and responsible state agencies before it may be used. Chlorpyrifos labeling has evolved over decades of use, refining how and when chlorpyrifos is applied to field crops, fruit trees, and vegetables.

Q: Pushbots handle notification while Phonegap app is open I have a PhoneGap app, that I've set up Pushbots with (in the onDeviceReady event).
The notification:clicked event is working correctly if the application was not running in the background, but if the app is running and it's in use, and the user brings down the notification tab and clicks on a notification, nothing happens.
How can I fire the notification:clicked event when the app is in the foreground?
I want to navigate to a page whenever the user clicks the notification, whether or not the application is running or not.
My index.js file
myApp.run(['$rootScope', function($rootScope) {
    document.addEventListener('deviceready', function() {

        // Handle the Cordova pause and resume events
        document.addEventListener( 'pause', onPause.bind( this ), false );
        document.addEventListener( 'resume', onResume.bind( this ), false );

        window.plugins.PushbotsPlugin.initialize(...);
        window.plugins.PushbotsPlugin.on("registered", function(token){
            console.log("Registration Id:" + token);
        });

        window.plugins.PushbotsPlugin.getRegistrationId(function(token){
            console.log("Registration Id:" + token);
        });

        // Should be called once app receive the notification
        window.plugins.PushbotsPlugin.on("notification:received", function(data){
            alert("received:" + JSON.stringify(data));
            console.log("received:" + JSON.stringify(data));
        });

        // Should be called once the notification is clicked
        window.plugins.PushbotsPlugin.on("notification:clicked", function(data){
            alert("Notification clicked"); only fires when the app is not running
            $rootScope.$emit('onNotificationClick', data);
            console.log("clicked:" + JSON.stringify(data));
        });

    }, false);
}]);

I have a $rootScope.onNotificationClick event in my MainAppController. Should I instantiate / pass the Pushbotsplugin to that controller somehow?

A: you are emitting the event on notification click. So you can handle $on in controller using below code
$rootScoope.$on('onNotificationClick', function (data) {
 // handle here.
 //need not pass pushBotPlugin
});

Justin Daniel Masterson (born March 22, 1985) is an American former professional baseball starting pitcher. Drafted by the Red Sox in the second round of the 2006 MLB draft from San Diego State University, he made his MLB debut two years later. Masterson also played in MLB for the Cleveland Indians and St. Louis Cardinals. Known for primarily throwing a sinking fastball, the right-hander stands 6' 6" (198 cm) tall, and weighs 250 lb (113 kg).

A former All-Star selection, Masterson placed in the top-ten in the American League multiple categories in 2013, including wins, strikeouts, complete games, hits per nine innings pitched, and strikeouts per nine innings pitched. He was the first Red Sox pitcher since Fenway Park's 1912 opening to make his first four consecutive starts there and not lose any of them.

Early life
Masterson was born in Kingston, Jamaica, where his father served as dean of students at the Jamaica Theological Seminary. A few years later, Masterson moved to Fort Wayne, Indiana. He attended Beavercreek High School in Beavercreek, Ohio where he first played basketball and baseball as a catcher, pitcher, and first baseman. His mother works as a teacher and his father is a pastor.

Masterson attended Bethel College in Mishawaka, Indiana, where he played as a starting pitcher. While at Bethel, he hit 10 home runs (HR) during his sophomore year. He then attended San Diego State University. In 2005, Masterson played collegiate summer baseball for the Wareham Gatemen of the Cape Cod Baseball League (CCBL). He posted a 1.15 ERA with 39 strikeouts in 31.1 innings pitched. In 2017, he was inducted into the CCBL Hall of Fame.

Professional career

Boston Red Sox

Baseball America rated Masterson as the 64th-best overall prospect for their 2006 Major League Baseball draft projections. The Boston Red Sox selected him in the second round. Dan Madsen signed him. Masterson began as both a starter and reliever in his minor league career for the Lowell Spinners. In 2007, his second season, the club promoted him from the Class A Lancaster JetHawks to the Double-A Portland Sea Dogs. His twelve wins that season ranked second among all Red Sox minor leaguers.

After joining the Sea Dogs, Masterson said, "I've had the confidence to be a great pitcher all along. I went to a smaller school and really proved that I had the ability to pitch, and whatever route I took to get me where I am I'm not worried about it."

In 2006, Masterson was named to Baseball America'''s short season all-star team. Masterson converted to starting pitching in early 2007, after a stint as a relief pitcher for Short Season Lowell in 2006.

The Red Sox invited Masterson to spring training before the 2008 season. On April 24, he made his Major League debut against the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim in an emergency call-up start. He pitched six full innings (IP) and allowed one run. The Red Sox immediately sent him back to Portland following the game. The next month, on May 20, he made his second appearance, pitching  innings, allowing three hits and one run with three walks and five strikeouts and picking up his first win in the Majors.

After five starts with the major-league club, it was announced that he would stay in the majors through Daisuke Matsuzaka's return from the disabled list (DL) due to Bartolo Colón's back injury. On July 7, 2008, Masterson was sent back to the Pawtucket Red Sox, a move manager Terry Francona stated was made to transition Masterson from a starter to a relief pitcher. Masterson was recalled on July 20 due to an injury to David Aardsma In his first relief appearance, he was solid against the Seattle Mariners, shutting down the hitters and working  scoreless innings at Safeco Field in Seattle.

Masterson picked up the first postseason win of his career in Game 5 of the 2008 American League Championship Series (ALCS) against the Tampa Bay Rays, pitching a scoreless ninth inning in the Red Sox' 8–7 victory.

In 2009, Masterson began the season in the bullpen while also starting six games before being traded to the Cleveland Indians.

Cleveland Indians

On July 31, 2009, Masterson was traded by Boston along with minor league prospects Nick Hagadone and Bryan Price to the Cleveland Indians in exchange for Victor Martinez.

Upon arriving to Cleveland, Masterson was inserted into the Indians rotation. He started 10 games, struggling to a record of 1–7 for the rest of 2009.

Masterson enjoyed his first full season as a starter in 2010, but he once again failed to make an impact with the Indians and finished with a 6–13 record in 29 starts. Nevertheless, Masterson seemed to save his best stuff for when he was facing his former Red Sox teammates. He pitched the first shutout of his professional career on June 9 of that season, a two-hit, 11–0 victory against Boston at Progressive Field, in which he struck out six and allowed two singles and two walks.

Masterson finished the 2011 season with a 12–10 record, having career bests in ERA (3.21), innings pitched (216) and home runs allowed (11). On August 4, he victimized the Red Sox for the second time, and also committed one of the rarer feats in baseball. In the bottom of the second inning, Masterson struck out Josh Reddick swinging before a wild pitch allowed Reddick to reach first base on the play. Then, Masterson proceeded to strike out Jason Varitek, Marco Scutaro and Jacoby Ellsbury in succession to end the inning, making him one of 68 pitchers in Major League history to strike out four batters in a single inning.

Following the end of the season Masterson underwent surgery to repair a torn labrum in his non-throwing shoulder. The surgery was required after enduring an injury in 2007 as a member of the Red Sox.

On April 5, 2012, the Indians made Masterson the Opening Day starter for the first time in his career. The game was against the Toronto Blue Jays in what proved to be the longest Opening Day game in major league history, a 7–4 loss in 16 innings. He completed eight innings, giving up two hits and one run while striking out 10, and earned a no-decision. However, he regressed in his third season with the Indians, finishing 11–15 with a career-worst 4.93 ERA in 34 starts. The Indians hired Francona to be their manager the following October, reuniting the pitcher with his former manager.

For the 2013 season, the Indians again named Masterson the Opening Day starting pitcher. He defeated Blue Jays' reigning NL Cy Young Award winner R. A. Dickey, acquired in the prior off-season from the New York Mets. In his next start, his second win came against the reigning American League Cy Young winner, David Price of the Rays. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, Masterson became just the third player in MLB history to defeat both reigning Cy Young winners in the same season – and the first to do so in his first two starts of the season.

With his sixth campaign about to begin and no contract, Masterson was eligible to become a free agent for the first time in his career. He was also arbitration-eligible. Instead, Masterson and the Indians agreed to a one-year, $9.7 million contract in February, 2014, for the 2014 season. The two parties also began talks for a contract extension beyond 2014. However, the next month, discussions were ended until after the season. Masterson had offered the club extensions for $17 million per year in separate offers of two and three years, with option years, but that was more than the Indians were willing to pay. A pitcher with similar career achievements, Homer Bailey, had signed an extension for more years with the Cincinnati Reds at $17.5 million per year.

Tapped for his third consecutive Opening Day start, Masterson pitched seven scoreless innings but did not qualify for a decision in a 2–0 extra innings victory against the Oakland Athletics. On June 2, he completed an immaculate inning'' against the Red Sox, striking out Jonny Gomes, Grady Sizemore, and Stephen Drew in order on nine pitches. Only 72 pitchers have accomplished that feat in Major League history.

St. Louis Cardinals

On July 30, 2014, the Indians traded Masterson to the St. Louis Cardinals for outfielder James Ramsey. To honor their former teammate, all Indians players donned Masterson's high-sock style for the next game after his trade against the Mariners. Masterson had been on the DL due to a knee injury for nearly a month when he was traded. The Cardinals activated him from the DL on August 1. He won his Cardinals debut against the Milwaukee Brewers the next day, a 9–7 victory, in spite of allowing five runs, seven hits and three walks in six IP. While batting, he collected his first hit and run scored of the season.

Return to Boston Red Sox
A free agent after the 2014 season, Masterson agreed to a one-year deal with Boston worth $9.5 million on December 11. On August 10, 2015, Masterson was designated for assignment by Boston. He was released on August 19.

Pittsburgh Pirates
Masterson agreed to a minor league deal with the Pirates on April 14, 2016.

Los Angeles Dodgers
On March 27, 2017, Masterson signed a minor league contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers and he was assigned to the Triple-A Oklahoma City Dodgers to begin the season. He remained with them all year and was 11–6 with a 4.13 ERA in 25 starts.

Masterson retired on December 11, 2018.

Pitching profile
Masterson pitched at a low three-quarter arm-slot (nearly sidearm) with a sliding motion, which some compare to Dennis Eckersley's delivery. His pitching arsenal included a fastball that reached , a sinker, a slider, and an occasional change-up. It has been claimed that his best pitch is his plus-sinker with a heavy drop.

Masterson threw a variety of fastballs that varied in speed and break, with the speeds reaching between from the upper 80s to the mid 90s. The speed of his slider was in the low 80s, and his change-up ranged from . He varied his sinker at speeds of , sometimes catching batters off balance.

Personal life
Masterson married Meryl Ham on November 3, 2007. Masterson is a Christian and often speaks of the importance of God in his life. He spoke at the Pentagon's weekly prayer breakfast in June 2009.

Philanthropy
Masterson and his wife Meryl founded the non-profit Fortress Foundation in 2013 with the help of business partner Matt Zappasodi and Cullinane Law. In February 2013, they partnered with Not For Sale Team.

In November 2013, they worked with the Feed Their Future campaign with Mark Zimmerman from Moody Radio Cleveland and Bright Hope in Nairobi, Kenya. They partnered again in April 2013.

Noah Reid: Not just paddling up Schitt's Creek
Story by David McPherson | September 15, 2020
As an actor, Noah Reid (Schitt's Creek) plays a part; with each new role, he adopts a character and follows a script. As a songwriter, the 33-year-old creates songs from his heart. No acting. No script. Honesty and life experiences drive these narratives, though many reflect his acting experiences. Summing up his common approach to both acting and songwriting, he asks, "If I'm the character, how do I explore that world?" It's a rhetorical question, posed from his Toronto home, just two weeks after his wedding, attended only by close family, socially distanced, on a beach overlooking Lake Huron.
Reid grew up in Toronto, but these days the dual citizen splits his time between T.O. and L.A., depending on where his work takes him. From a young age, he took piano lessons, and recalls enrolling in the annual Kiwanis songwriting competitions, always making up songs at the keyboard. Acting overtook his life, then became his chosen artistic path, but his love of creating and playing music never waned.
"For a long time, I was writing songs and not doing anything with them"
In 2015, Reid met JUNO nominee, industry veteran and fellow singer-songwriter Matthew Barber at an event in Stratford, Ontario; the pair clicked. While Reid jokes that he was just a "hobbyist" at that point, Barber convinced him to make a record. The pair spent two days in the studio together, resulting in the Songs from a Broken Chair album (2016).
"I was like, 'Wow' I want to do more of this," says Reid. "For a long time, I was writing songs and not doing anything with them. They were just places to put my thoughts and feelings."
The success of the award-winning TV comedy Schitt's Creek's – on which Reid plays David's boyfriend Patrick – left little time to put out another record. But with the show coming to an end in 2019, Reid called up Barber and returned to the studio. On May 29, his sophomore record Gemini was released. The dozen songs on it are arresting, piano-driven compositions that show the other side of Reid's talent. Unsurprisingly, the balance between his two passions, and other dualities, is something the songwriter thinks about more, now that he's in his 30s.
"The Best" Cover Ever
One of the most poignant moments on Schitt's Creek came in Season 4, when Reid, playing Patrick, serenaded David (played by Dan Levy) with an acoustic version of Tina Turner's "The Best." A digital single of the performance reached No. 3 on the iTunes Canada Top 10 singles chart. What's more important to Reid is the lasting legacy of that made-for-TV moment. "I never expected it to be so impactful for so many people," says Reid. "I knew we had an opportunity with the audience that watches that show, and knowing moments like that are few and far between in the LGBTQ community… It was incredibly rewarding to be part of that moment for a community that doesn't feel represented much on TV."
"I'm not as concerned anymore with being cool, and all the 'social stuff,' as I was in my 20s," he says. "Balance is something I'm striving for now, as the dualities in my life are being made known. There's a sweet spot between letting it happen and making it happen… a lot of the songs find equilibrium between two things, and show that two things can exist at the same time, and that's OK."
For Reid, the songs and songwriters he's drawn to are those that show a human side: a rawness and "realness" often lacking in some of today's auto-tuned pop. Touchstones include singer-songwriters of the 1970s like Tom Waits, Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Carole King, and Paul Simon.
One of Gemini's most earnest songs is "Underwater." It's one of Reid's favorite compositions, and received an early rave review from a certain Schitt's Creek co-star.
"The recording feels super-dynamic," he says. "When I wrote that song, it was a step up for me in terms of songwriting… I hadn't heard that sound coming out of me before. It just felt so honest. The world of the song expands as it goes along. I remember playing an early mix to Catherine O'Hara at an airport somewhere. She took her headphones off and said, 'Noah, that is amazing! The lyrics are very sad, but the arrangement is so hopeful.'"

Story by Liisa Ladouceur | September 16, 2020
When Queer Eye for the Straight Guy came into our lives in 2003, it came with a fab theme song called All Things (Just Keep Getting Better). The dance pop track was written by Canadians Ian Nieman and Rachid Wehbi, who also record under the name WIDELIFE, and featured vocals by Toronto's Simone Denny.
As the TV makeover show became a smash hit, so did All Things – scoring club and dance radio plays around the world and a JUNO Award for Dance Recording of the Year in 2005. It even got lampooned on South Park. In 2018, Netflix re-booted Queer Eye, giving Nieman and Wehbi's track a second life.
We'll just start at the beginning. What led the producers of Queer Eye to ask you to submit a theme song?
Ian: In 2002, Rachid and I produced a song called "I Don't Want U," which got picked up by Nervous Records in New York. That song went Number 1 on the Billboard club charts in the US. One of the people working at Scout Productions was a fan of our song and contacted us wanting to know if we'd be interested in submitting for this brand new show.
This person was a music supervisor?
Ian: He was actually a graphic artist at the company. My understanding is that he just took it upon himself to seek us out. We beat out more than 10 other submissions to get the gig.
How much direction did you get?
Rachid: They just told us the name and the theme of the show. Neither of us had done a TV show before. I remember clearly sitting down with Ian and discussing how we could put in our best shot. I know we wanted to write something with lyrics. We just thought about the idea of the show and came up with, "When you are around, all things, keep getting better." Originally, we only wrote what people call the TV version, just the first verse and a chorus.
How did it become a radio single?
Rachid: There's a radio station called KTU in New York, and I think what KTU and other stations around the country were doing is they were playing our 58-second show open – playing it twice back-to-back. Like, to create a two-minute pop song. Because people would call in, 'We love that show. Can we hear that song?' And I think that's what made the record companies take notice and ask for a full single.
Ian: The single got picked up by Capitol Records in LA, and then from that they made a soundtrack and then we made a music video. They shut down the Brooklyn Bridge in New York and Rachid and I are in the video having a great old time. That's when it became more than just a TV show theme. We'd had success before but this was another level.
The song got a second life in 2018, when the Queer Eye show was resurrected by Netflix. How did the new version with Australian singer Betty Who come about?
Ian: I found out about that the day I watched it on Netflix.
That's another part of the business, isn't it?
Ian: Unfortunately, yes. If I could go back in time to 2003 with my knowledge now, hopefully I'd be able to do things a little bit differently. SOCAN has been excellent from the beginning to help us out, and I do want to thank them for that.
Rachid: We still own 100% of the writers' share. But the publishing share went to the TV production company.
Ian: Which is fine. Sometimes you have to go for an opportunity rather than keep 100% of everything.
Why do you think the message "things keep getting better" still resonates?
Ian: 'Cause it's hopeful. We need that positivity, whether you're gay, straight, married, single. I think it's a tribute to us that Netflix decided to go with the original theme song [for the reboot] because our message still rang true in 2018.

How the Song Happened: Powfu's "death bed (coffee for your head)"
Story by Kerry Doole | September 9, 2020
Two months ago, the family of Isaiah Faber (aka Powfu) moved from Mission, B.C., to a new house in Chilliwack. The place is going to need a trophy room to display all the platinum plaques the 21-year-old singe-/songwriter/producer is amassing for the international success of his blockbuster hit track "death bed (coffee for your head)."
"The first one [for certified U.S. platinum sales] arrived a week ago," says Powfu. "It's pretty crazy to look at that." More are coming, as the single has officially gone double-platinum in Canada and Ireland, and platinum in Australia, Sweden, Mexico, New Zealand, Italy, and Norway.
"It was getting a lot of views on YouTube, and TikTok took it the rest of the way"
Originally released in 2019, the breakthrough track made the Top 25 on the Billboard Hot 100, and has been streamed more than a billion times, and counting. Its success story helps illustrate the ways that such platforms as YouTube, SoundCloud, and TikTok can break a song.
Powfu recalls that "death bed" got started when it was uploaded on YouTube. "It was getting a lot of views [currently at 178M] and then TikTok found it and took it the rest of the way," he says. More than a million Tik Toks have been made with the song, and that phenomenon was followed by mass streaming on Spotify, and other outlets. A recent remix of "death bed" by U.S. pop-punk heavyweights Blink-182 has continued its momentum.
The poignant lyrics of "death bed" have resonated deeply. "The thing to me that stood out about it was the story, talking about death," says Powfu. "I've never heard a song with that kind of story. People like the melody and the rap, too, so I guess it all came together."
It's a Family Affair
Powfu's father, David Faber, found national success with his rock band, Faber Drive, and now acts as his son's manager. "Isaiah and I co-write all the time, since he was about the age of seven," says the elder. "He co-wrote a recent acoustic song that Faber Drive released called 'Payday.'" In turn, Powfu incorporated a Faber Drive song, "More Than Perfect," into his song "Letters in December," featuring Rxseboy. "In my opinion, he made the lyrics better," says dad David. Powfu says, "Growing up, I looked up to my dad on everything. He taught me the basics of songwriting and playing instruments… He was doing pretty good, so all my friends knew about him, and they rather expected me to follow in his footsteps. I felt a little pressure to be as good as, or better than, him." Powfu's younger sister, Patience Faber (aka sleep.ing), also contributes vocals to Poems Of The Past, and is releasing her own music, too.
Powfu initially came across the song's beat, by Otterpop, on SoundCloud, and then used a sample from English artist Beabadoobee (taken from her song "Coffee"), though the song's lyrical subject matter is his creation. "That was, and many of my songs are, written from [standing in] the shoes of another person," he says. "My life is pretty boring compared to many people, so I like reading, and watching movies, about other people's lives. "
The impact of "death bed" helped Powfu land a deal with Columbia Records, and his recent EP Poems Of The Past is the first fruit of that union. As with earlier Powfu indie releases, it showcases an eclectic style featuring hip-hop, punk, and pop elements. "I have different styles of songs, so that each of my fans will have a different favourite track, depending on the style they like," he says. "I call my sound 'lo-fi hip-hop punk.'"
Powfu's do-it-yourself material is, literally, "bedroom pop." "I have a desk in the corner of my bedroom and the computer set up there," he says. "I've tried the big studios out, but recording in my room just feels more comfortable to me."
He describes his songwriting approach this way: "First I'll find a beat I like the sound of, then I'll freestyle flows or melodies on top of it. If I come up with a melody that I think sounds cool, then I'll try to write lyrics for it."
It's heartening to know that success can be just that simple.

In the 1800s, nationalism helped lead to imperialism. Imperialism is a word for "empire-building." A country claims other lands, sets up colonies there, and rules those lands.
Many thought their countries gained more power from having bigger empires. Powerful European nations started grabbing land in faraway places like Africa and South Asia. This stirred up feelings of nationalism in the people of those countries.
In Africa, European landowners made local farmers, who had always grown crops for their own use, start growing crops that Europeans could sell for a profit. This meant the farmers had less time and less land to grow their own food. Europeans did make some improvements in Africa. Usually, that was for their own benefit. In 1869, French engineers and Egyptian workers finished building the Suez Canal. This waterway connected the Red Sea to the Mediterranean Sea. The new route sped up travel between Europe and Asia. In 1875, the British bought the canal. It shortened the travel time to their most valuable colony, India.


Two days after the close of IBC2014, as residents of Scotland went to polling stations to answer the question "Should Scotland be an independent country?", the BBC was relying heavily on talkback provided by Andover, Hampshire-based intercom supplier Trilogy Communications for its coverage of the independence referendum.
Trilogy's main system had been installed in Glasgow, in the primary studio used for the BBC's coverage (pictured), with links to two galleries on site which provided output, backup and graphics for the results coverage. The Glasgow system was linked to Trilogy's flagship Gemini intercom system at the BBC's OB operation at Elstree Studios using Gemini's IP and distributed matrix connectivity. Gemini was used at Elstree for internal communications, OB clean feeds and four-wire circuits.
The nature of the polling process meant that there were many sites inputting news and information at any one time. A running order therefore became speculative at best, which meant that internal communications took on a critical role, with Trilogy enabling the special broadcast teams to communicate between sites with immediate information, guidance and instruction.
The BBC also made use of legacy Trilogy equipment, including Commander, Orator and the Mercury real-time voice communication platform, built on core VoIP technology.

Q: Infinite number of $k$ satisfying $p_{k+1} - p_{k} > 2$? I was thinking of how to prove this -
Let $p_{k}$ be the $k$th prime.Then to show that there exists infinite number of $k$ such that $p_{k+1}-p_{k} > 2$.
I was thinking of Twin Prime Conjecture stating that there are an infinite number of primes differing by 2, but how can it help with infinite number consecutive primes differing greater than 2?
I was thinking of going through the method of contradiction but could not proceed

A: If there are an infinite number of primes congruent to 1 mod 6 (in fact, there are, but we don't even need this), you are done, since there is only one prime congruent to 3 mod 6.
If there are not infinitely many primes congruent to 1 mod 6, then all but finitely many primes are congruent to 5 mod 6, and again you are done.

A: There are infinitely many odd primes and there is no prime other than $5$ that ends with $5$.

A: Suppose it's false. Then there are finitely many primes such that $p_{k+1}-p_k>2$, and since there are infinitely many primes, that means that all primes larger than some number $N$ satisfy $p_{k+1}=p_k+2$ (can't be $p_{k+1}=p_k+1$ because even numbers are not primes, except 2).
Thus all odd numbers (except those below $N$) are primes. But among three successive odd numbers larger than $3$, one is necessarily a multiple of $3$, hence not a prime. Hence the hypothesis is false and your sentence is true.

Equating white supremacy with 'Making America Great Again.'
Donald Trump Fair Use motherjones.com Creative Commons
Donald Trump doesn't get why Civil War statues honoring the Confederacy are unpopular with those opposed to slavery.
by Joan Altabe
September 4, 2017 at 4:07 PM Mon 04 Sep 2017 04:07:34 PM EDT
Video of the Day: Manny Pacquiao vs Keith Thurman promises a tough fight on July 20
At the Venice Film Festival last weekend, actors Julianne Moore and George Clooney railed against pro-slavery shrines to the losing side of the Civil War. Clooney's new movie about apartheid in America during the '50s with Moore in the lead role made them fitting spokespeople for ridding public spaces of monuments that pay homage to the enemy of the people - the Confederacy.
Wrong side of history
President Trump has taken the side of those who want the monuments to stay in the public eye – on government property – sounding downright sentimental about them.
He tweeted how "sad" it is that such tributes need to be moved: "The beauty that is being taken out of our cities, towns and parks will be greatly missed." Does his slogan "Make America Great Again" mean resurrecting White Supremacy? I say this because Trump hasn't always shown he cared about testaments to the past. He unilaterally chose to destroy statues fronting a building that his Trump Tower replaced.
Why? Saving the artwork would have delayed construction. Never mind that the statues graced the façade of Bonwit Teller, a high-end department store, which was founded in 1895 and was a landmark. Another thing: by destroying the sculptures, he broke his pledge to the Metropolitan Museum of Art to salvage the sculptures.
First modern art
The statues, each 15 feet tall and made of limestone, were not only part of New York history, but they were also a part of art history representing the style known as Art Deco.
The genre held sway over pretty much everything in early 20th century America, from cars, trains, ocean liners, architecture, furniture – even vacuum cleaners. It was the first look of modernism in everyday life. The sculptures were not only part of art history and New York history, but also of movie history, featured in flicks like "Breakfast at Tiffany's," "Die Hard with a Vengeance," "Oliver's Story," " Rocky II" and on TV in the series "Mad Men."
Artistic merit
It was understandable why the Met sought to salvage the statues.
But when asked at the time why he destroyed the artwork, Trump didn't mention the delay in construction of his Tower. Instead, he told Tom Brokaw they weren't worth much, that he had people looking into their value and was told they had no "artistic merit." One may well wonder if the people that Trump sent to check out the artwork were the same he sent to Hawaii to check out Barack Obama's birth certificate.
Clearly he disregarded what Met vice-president Ashton Hawkins said of the statues: "Architectural sculptures of of this quality are rare and would have made definite sense in our collection." But, hey, what does the Met know about art anyway? And given Trump's confidence when it comes to fighting Isis – that he knows more than the generals - it follows that he knows more than art historians, too.

Let's start with dessert. Why not? It's summer and we can break some rules. And boy, do we like dessert here. A lot.
Take the dessert called Cinnamon Toast Crunch: it stars a splendid sphere of bitter chocolate set in a shallow bowl. Beside the round is a dozen squares of the kid-cereal and some modernist pearls (agar agar jellied pebbles) of strawberry.
And then the still life delivered gets wrecked tableside — a jug of warmed almond milk is poured over top, melting the chocolate and trickling down to reach the cereal. This has two affects: the top of the ball retreats such that you may peer into its guts, and the dry cereal becomes breakfast! Inside the chocolate sphere is a blob of cinnamon crunch ice cream, a salted caramel sauce, a cinnamon streusel topping and hunks of a spiced almond cake. Once you've devoured that, you can enjoy the cereal in milk topped with 'strawberries,' or at least their concentrated essence. Very clever. Very yummy. And considering the work involved, remarkably priced at 10 bucks.
And then there's the dessert that studies green flavours on a black plate ($9) — a scoop of chunky cucumber ice cream, melon-balls of compressed (marinated) honeydew, cubes of pickled cucumber (sweet and lightly sour), torn vanilla sponge-coral cake infused with matcha tea and shards of green meringue flavoured with mint. A splendid summer dessert, cool and un-sweet, created by a clearly gifted pastry chef.
These were the fine endings to two very good meals at the one-month-old Carben Food + Drink. The only boo boo was an overeager hand on the salt grinder in the lamb roulade (a clever play on a bacon wrapped tournedos that ate like a sophisticated (though salty) meatloaf.
The dinner menu is nine items long, four dishes to lead, five to continue. The very best plates were the starters.
One began with a smiley face swish of miso glaze and set above it, a composed salad starring mushrooms — smoked eryngii and lightly pickled wood ears. Among these were briny branches of sea beans (aka sea asparagus or samphire greens), plus chili oiled edamame and crunchy-soft bok choy. Dots of an aioli yellowed with turmeric and sprigs of purple shiso finished a plate of winning flavours and textures.
We liked as well the Salmon Carpaccio, the cured fish rolled in leek 'ash' (charred, dried, ground to a powder) served with an avocado mousse and nori chips.
And then the endlessly satisfying marriage of crisped pork belly with seared scallops, their richness balanced with a vibrant chimichurri, softened apple wedges compressed with tequila, and a shredded salad of mango with the underloved tuber jicama.
A duo of beets was stunning on a blue plate – a pile of raw candy canes julienned, wedges of goldens, lightly pickled. They shared the stage with just-so steamed peas put back in their pods, dots of a lovely sheep milk yogurt and zig-zags of a watermelon mint purée. There were patches of puffed quinoa mixed with a sweet pistachio brittle and pickled petals of pearl onion. Something with heat here and there — a chili oil drizzle I think. Not your basic beet salad.
Among the mains, Mariposa Duck was bang on, as was the Veal Cheek with bacon foam and a wildly peppery red onion jam.
Sorry to report that the hake you may or may not be able to have here, was terrific. It arrived, firm, juicy, poised on a crunchy cake of arancini, topped with shaved and pickled heirloom carrots, and surrounded with baby bok choy and sweet little enoki mushrooms, all ringed with duelling sauces — a squid ink butter sauce and a lemony sabayon.
The room, by One80 Design, has built on what was here before (Burnt Butter) and taken it up a notch. The feel is clean and uncluttered, achieved with a modern palette of greys, mixed with shiny white tile, Danish low-back chairs and stools (from neighbouring A Modern Space), pale wooden shelves and tables, caged industrial lights. A scattering of homey touches warms the long narrow room – book shelves, eclectic curios, framed maps, photographs. Random yellow chairs add pops of colour. And though there's no outdoor seating, on a fine summer night the street wall of windows opens and you are dining al fresco, protected with a roof overhead.
In keeping with the ultra-local concept, the handsome crockery here is all from Loam Clay Studio on Hamilton Avenue.
Service standards are high, the Carben cocktail list is fussed over, at least two local beers are available on tap and the thin wine list is a 'work in progress'. Having the food down pat, let's hope they work on plumping it soon.
I'm excited by Carben. It feels a bit like a western Fauna, minus the party scene. I encourage you to book a table. It's been far too quiet at my visits.


A new Production Management Intelligence Solution now enables glass manufacturers to increase process transparency and optimize workflows. Supported by data, the production speed can be maximized without any loss in quality, manufacturing can be made more flexible, and perfect glass products can be achieved reliably. At the same time, quality decisions are made on the basis of facts and a data foundation for proving quality to customers is created.
Production Management Intelligence Solutions deliver data analysis and KPIs, merge data from inspection systems and production plants, and intelligently link them together. This allows production processes to be optimized by increasing the line speed while maintaining the same quality. Yield can be heightened through improved maintenance intervals, while data-based selection of raw materials also raises product quality.
In the glass industry, digitalization and globalization are increasing cost pressures, while simultaneously constant availability is driving up customers' quality requirements. This is where intelligent, automated inspection systems can play a crucial role: They enable efficient quality assurance while also generating vast quantities of crucial data. This data is also becoming more and more important, as the increased pressure inside and outside companies means that a sound decision-making basis is expected.

As retired teachers, Rick and I realize how an education changes lives. When he found "Pack for a Purpose", donating items during our travels became so much easier and we knew we were giving the items needed. Istanbul, Turkey was filled with amazing people and breathtaking architecture. It was the cleanest city that we had ever visited. We dropped off our items at the Ritz- Carlton. The hotel helps sponsor two elementary schools that educate both boys and girls ages 6-12. The interest and concern by the staff for helping the schools impressed us.
"Pack for a Purpose" is a brilliant and well organized program. It allows our travel to have both meaning and impact.


Corporate Integrity Agreements (CIAs) are a common feature in today's health care sector with the OIG currently monitoring over 300 active ones. The OIG's objective for negotiating a CIA is to ensure that the identified misconduct (e.g., false claims, improper arrangements, misleading marketing) is remedied and does not recur. Most arise from a settlement of a civil false claims case with the DOJ. They are negotiated and monitored by the OIG Counsel's Office for usually for a period of five years. The organization consents to defined obligations of a CIA in exchange for the OIG not seeking an exclusion from participation in Federal health care programs. It is advisable for any entity entering into negotiations with the OIG to review similar CIAs for terms and conditions.
CIAs generally require the organization to retain an Independent Review Organization (IRO) to conduct specified reviews (e.g., systems, arrangements, transactions, claims, marketing, and expenditures reviews) to ensure compliance with the terms of the Agreement. An OIG attorney is assigned to monitor compliance with terms of the CIA. This attorney is different from the one who negotiated the CIA. There are some standard terms and conditions, as well as "case specific" requirements, as well as specific terms and conditions that vary according the nature of the case.
Try to provide evidence to the OIG that a CIA is not needed.
Provide evidence that the misconduct is being addressed by the current compliance program and internal controls.
Provide convincing evidence that current safeguards ensure future integrity in Federal health care programs.
Help the OIG understand and appreciate the business operations; and not assume fluency in how things work.
Full understanding of the implications of the commitments under the CIA.
To continue arguing the case that has been settled by the court or with the DOJ. The OIG attorney is not interested in this line of reasoning and trying to re-litigate the case will set the wrong tone and risk aggravating the outcome of the CIA. It is far better to make a fresh start with a commitment to put the problem behavior in the past and move forward to reinstate their good standing.
To assume that the OIG attorneys assigned to develop terms of a CIA are familiar with the detailed facts of the DOJ case. Those who may have been deeply involved with DOJ, are not the same individuals who develop CIAs, and are not likely to have any knowledge beyond the court decision or settlement terms with DOJ.
To assume the OIG attorney has particular knowledge of the program manuals, Federal/State requirements related to the underlying case.
To believe the OIG attorneys understand operational issues associated with particular types of health care providers.
Once a CIA is agreed to by all parties, consideration should be given to undertaking a "mock" review in advance of the IRO. This will better prepare the organization to meet the IRO review. If the organization can evidence full compliance with the terms of the CIA in the first year, they are in a better position to ask for a reduction of the CIA period after a couple of IRO review reports.

Sometimes there is nothing better than pasta tossed with a little butter and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese. Add shrimp sauteed in garlic sauce for a light comforting meal.
Prepare pasta according to taste.
Meanwhile, heat oil and garlic in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shrimp and cook, stirring frequently, until almost pink, about 2 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon butter, lemon juice and broth to shrimp; saute about 2 minutes more.
Place cooked pasta in a large bowl and mix with the remaining 3 tablespoons butter, black pepper and Parmesan cheese. Add cooked shrimp to pasta and mix together. Top with parsley.

Q: Mocha/Chai: How to perform async test of something that didn't happen? I am trying to write a short mocha/chai Node test for some async process, expecting it to ignore irrelevant input. It basically looks like this (compared to the test of relevant input). The problem is how do I write the second test? It's an async process that eventually does nothing, no error/success emits...
it('should process input', function(done) {
    object
    .on('success', function(result) {
       expect.result.to.equal("OK");
       done();
    })
    .asyncDoSomething('relevant input');
});

it('should ignore input', function(done) {
    object.asyncDoSomething('irrelevant input');
    // TODO: how do I verify the async process eventually did nothing?
});

A: That's a good one - the only solution that comes to mind is to wait for a timeout and assume if it didn't happen in this time, then it will not happen. But this is not good design and needlessly slows down the test suite.
Have you thought about isolating the decision logic to somewhere where it could be tested synchronously and then make a test for that?

A: For the moment (still awaiting possibly better solutions?), I have updated the emitter to emit some sort of an 'ignored' event for all cases where it decides to ignore the input asynchronously. For testing, I check the "cause" of the ignore using:
expect(cause).to.equal(expectedCause)


This page is about my favorite Metal-Pub in Hamburg, The Headbanger's Ballroom at St. Pauli - Fishmarkt. Before I had really often been to the Backstage which closed in 2002. The Headbanger's Ballroom always is a good place to be, especially after metal concerts in Hamburg. There are very often great aftershow-parties with the chance to meet the bands and talk to them. In 1999 I had already been to the Headbanger's together with Jan, Tobias and Maik but that time it was run by somebody else and I didn't like it as much as I liked the Backstage that time. So this page is a kind of continuation of the Hamburg part on my personal homepage, so I hope you will have as much fun as with my Hamburg section!? This page is dedicated to the people who are always with me, my friends, is dedicated to all people from Hamburg I met and who are living in this wonderfull city! First of all to name: Olli! Thanks for great nights in your bar! Note: not all trips I did are represented with photos!


This is Japanese ski resort TOP3 to recommend it to personally.
NO.3 is Zao in Yamagata.
In Zao, the rime on trees and the hot spring are famous, too. There are many not only ski but also tourist attractions.
The nearest airport is Yamagata Airport, but can go by train and bus from Sendai Airport.
NO.2 is Hakuba in Nagano. Although it is easy to spend it by a relatively warm climate, the nature of the snow is good and is a recently up-and-coming area. The Winter Olympics was held, too.
You can go to Hakuba by bus and bullet train(Shinkansen) from Tokyo.
NO.1 is Niseko in Hokkaido. The nature of the snow is the best by powder snow.There are a lot of shop and restaurants in the outskirts and can spend it happily comfortably.
The nearest airport is New Chitose Airport.
The place that nature of the snow has best in Japan is Hokkaido. Because the temperature of Hokkaido is lower than other areas, it makes the powder snow.
Niseko is famous in Hokkaido, but it is Furano to want to recommend personally.
Furano's temperature is lower than Niseko and can enjoy stable powder snow here.
In addition, for a little-known spot spot, there are few people.
There are many courses in two zones in Furano ski resort.
Furano has fewer restaurants than Niseko, but is recommended in the one that wants to enjoy skiing purely.
The neighborhood airport of Furano is Asahikawa Airport, but can go by buses from New Chitose Airport of Sapporo.
I write the detailed information of each ski resort by a different article again.

My cousin Daniel's son Owen's grandmother surprised me on Facebook with this photo of Lily's name in the sand in Lake Ontario, Canada! This made my day! It is so incredibly thoughtful of her. I think this is the first time Lily's name has been written in Canada. I love that my girl is being honored all over the world. It amazes me when people think of her that I had no idea they do. Thank you so much, Melissa!


The article presents a reading of the whole of the "Pasolini Phenomenon" in Italy. First, the article discusses the unstoppable, even meaningless, succession of images of the assassination scandal which has continued for more than thirty years after the death of the poet. Second, the article tries to find a neutral ground upon which to base these studies about Pasolini; it also attempts to orient future studies on the poet. The article concludes by outlining the shape of a "maestro" for our times, longed for by a vast population of even opposing political orientations. The so-called Pasolini Phenomenon is recognized, but once the poet was regarded as a poet "passed" it forced one to assume an attitude of "ex-poet". Finally, a proposal for the reading of a poem from 1970, Oral Meditation, written on commission for a collaboration with Ennio Morricone, will be given as an ex-poet's example.

Experts from across the legal profession to advise Scottish Government on fees for legal aid
Written by Jenni Davidson on 8 March 2019 in News
The advisory panel includes academics and members of the Faculty of Advocates, the Society of Solicitor Advocates, the Law Society of Scotland and the Scottish Legal Aid Board

A panel of experts from across the legal profession will advise the Scottish Government on changes to fees for legal aid.
The panel, which meets for the first time next week, will include academics and members of the Faculty of Advocates, the Society of Solicitor Advocates, the Law Society of Scotland and the Scottish Legal Aid Board.
The advisory group has been set up in response to recommendations made by the independent review of legal aid, led by Martyn Evans of the Carnegie Trust.
Christine McLintock, convener of the Law Society of Scotland's public policy committee, said: "Ongoing periodic review is vital to ensure the sustainability of fees to maintain availability of legal advice for those who need it and encourage new entrants to the sector.
"There are models for periodic review across the justice system already, from judicial expenses to sheriff officers' fees, and there are examples of best practice in legal aid systems internationally that we can learn from.
Scottish legal aid review 'cannot recommend' a general increase in fees
Serious concerns from solicitors as expansion of police duty scheme comes into force
Legal profession in Scotland needs single regulator, according to legal services review
"The legal aid system in Scotland is complex and in need of simplification and we hope that the panel can move swiftly to develop an effective, straightforward, accountable and fair process."
Colin Lancaster of the Scottish Legal Aid Board said: "The panel is an important opportunity to assess the strengths and weaknesses of the current model for payment of solicitors and advocates from public funds.
"Many aspects of the current legal aid payment system still reflect that constructed 70 years ago to mirror traditional feeing models in the private sector.
"We look forward to working with others to develop fresh thinking about different models for publicly funded payments that properly support delivery of important services by solicitors and advocates.
"It is essential that a revamped legal aid payment system is transparent, fair to both provider and taxpayer and works in the interests of people being assisted.
"But it must also be flexible enough to stay up to date and adapt to changes in the justice system and technology."
Community Safety Minister Ash Denham said: "A legal aid service that is effective and user-focused is key to assisting some of the most vulnerable in our society.
"We have already taken steps to demonstrate our commitment to those delivering this vital service, including a three per cent uplift in fees across the board for legal aid lawyers, which will take effect next month.
"The creation of our expert panel is an important step towards modernising the system to ensure that it is fair to both the taxpayer and the provider, and is sustainable for the future.
She added: "Despite significant financial pressures, Scotland's legal aid system is one of the leading jurisdictions in Europe in terms of scope, eligibility and cost, with three-quarters of people eligible for some form of civil legal aid assistance.
"This contrasts with the position in England and Wales, where only around 25 per cent are eligible, and where legal aid scope for many areas of civil law such as family, housing and immigration have been cut."
