Alexander, at a national yellow vest protest in Montpellier. (©Xavier Malafosse/Sipa Press / Xavier Malafosse)
PhD in biology, Alexander Samuel investigates dangers of tear gas, used massively in France against "yellow vests". His method : entering in the tear gas cloud and analyzing blood and urine.
By Emmanuelle Anizon
Published on July 24th 2019 at 2.00 p.m.
We already saw him, multiple times, going into the white cloud and coming out minutes later, his long redhead mane in a hot mess, scarlet eyes and face, crying, coughing, tottering and almost fainting. Alexander Samuel, 34 years old, PhD in molecular biology, maths teacher in a public professional high school in Grasse, France, and philosophy dabster, would never have imagined breathing voluntarily tear gas in the middle of demonstrations. Neither crossing France with tubes of blood and urine in his car trunk, like a drug dealer, looking for a lab which could accept his cargo. Even less being convened by French justice for "endangering people's live". Him, whose only assumed violence consists of yelling regularly into a microphone, surrounded by his metal bandmates.
Alexander engaged by accident, on March 23rd 2019. On that day, the "politically very left wing tending" teacher comes as an "observer" to a "yellow vest" protest in Nice. He gets in touch with SOS UN, who are inventorying police brutality. "When I told them I was PhD in biology, they asked me if I could help them analyze the tear gas effects. They described me numerous symptoms : stomach ache, nausea, vomiting, muscle aches, severe migraines, but also loss of consciousness, pulmonary problems, heart problems, liver problems … "Yellow vests" had been hospitalized. They evoked potential cyanide poisonings. Cyanide ! I thought they were nuts ! But since there were many testimonies, I decided to dig it…"

Alex loves to dig. Already at the University of Nice, the brilliant PhD student half French half German had stood out for his propension to put his obstinate nose into affairs – misappropriation of subsidy, syndicate corruption, and other favoritism. "Alex is a researcher who finds, testifies Guillaume, a former comrade back in time. He accumulated evidences, gathered documents, recorded conversations. He combined methods of an investigator and a scientist".
The teacher immersed himself into "literature", as scientists say, reading everything that got published on the subject in scientific papers. And he methodically reports on his website. He discovers that "CS" gas used by police officers does not directly contain cyanide, but that one of its components, malonitrile, is metabolized into cyanide in the human body.
A public health issue
One can endure cyanide at low levels : smokers, people who eat cabbage, almonds or cassava. At higher doses, cyanide can cause hypoxia, lack of oxygen. It can kill in some cases, even if it did not happen yet in France. Alex explains :
"The person who got gassed endures some kind of strangulation. What is the health consequence of being strangled once a week ? We are told that tear gas are not dangerous, but we don't know the long term health effects."
The researcher spends days and nights on what he considers as "a public health issue : tear gas used nowadays massively by police forces, and not only on "yellow vests" : the "pont de Sully" ecologists, the young people at the music fest party in Nantes and people or businesses close to the demonstrations, all were exposed to tear gas. And even policemen, who are the first exposed !
Most of the time, they wear gas masks protecting them, but on June 28th, on the Sully bridge, a commander lost consciousness because of tear gas.

Cyanide disappears in less than thirty minutes after tear gas exposure. But it leaves a marker in the body, thiocyanate, which can be detected during a few weeks after exposure. "I saw some "yellow vest" analysis results twice or even three times higher than normal values !" says Alex, who then contacts many toxicologists, doctors, scientists in France and abroad. Reactions are contrasted, some tell him he is totally wrong, like Jean-Marc Sapori, from the antipoison center in Lyon, and some encourage him to go on his "remarkable" work like André Picot, president of the Toxicology – Chemistry association, others even tell him
"Be careful, you are addressing a too dangerous subject".
He calls a lot, and he gets called ore and more. A secret agent wants to give him confidential documents about tear gas victims during the Algerian war. Dozens of "yellow vests" want to testify, and send him their results.
"We are compiling their symptoms in a table, and we notice some new weird symptoms. For instance, many women, even menopaused, are having heavy menstrual bleeding".
A doctor from the University Medical Center of Lyon writes him about a patient, gased multiple times, having a heavy liver disease from unknown cause : "I wonder if that could explain his pathology" she says.
How to prove the link between pathology and tear gas ?
What should we answer ? How could we prove irrefutably that link ? Since health authorities don't address the issue and the interior ministry repeats "Move along, nothing to see", Alex, three doctors – Renaud, anesthesiologist resuscitator, Josyane, generalist and Christiane, ophthalmologist -, nurses and some "yellow vests" decided to do blood uptake directly on demonstration site.

During his research, Alex found a Swiss company, Cyanoguard, selling kits to detect instant cyanide levels in blood : "It works like a breathalyzer. If the color turns purple, there is a dangerous level of cyanide. They are very serious, they published in the excellent journal of the Royal Society of Chemistry and FBI uses their tools!". Alex and the doctors buy ten kits, 15€ each, and plan to send some other blood samples to a laboratory to make the classical thiocyanate analysis : "Combining both results, the reliability of our results will be reinforced". And that's how, on Saturday April 20th in Paris, "yellow vests" could see, in the middle of the smokes, spitting, flashball shots and crowd movement, a little group equipped with helmets, glasses, syringes and tubes to do blood uptake on the pavement.
Results were deceiving : color change with cyanokit was difficult to interpret. "Cyanoguard told us "it's positive" but I wasn't sure". Other surprise : the thiocyanate results, analyzed by the only French lab performing them in Lyon came back negative. "Even for smokers, which is impossible ! » says Alex sniggering. He often sniggers, giggling and narrowing his nose, like kids do. The teacher does not want to believe that those results are being faked voluntarily, but he thinks it would be appropriate to perform new analysis abroad in foreign "independent" labs.
Doctors are presented like murderers
On May 1st, during a very agitated demonstration in Paris, the little group backslides, this time in a building lobby, behind closed doors. "Yellow vests were waiting outside to duff us up". The group was worried. In a background interior war inside SOS UN, Alex and the doctors left, a controversy started. Videos from blood uptakes were circulating on social networks where doctors were presented as murderers.

Medias relay words from a "yellow vest" whose blood got collected, accusing the team for having abused of her weakness; the council of the Order of Doctors, asked about it, explains that it is not forbidden to do a blood uptake in the street, but it has to follow certain conditions. "Our blood uptakes were done respecting all security conditions, and everyone who gave his blood signed an informed consent" assure the three doctors from the team. A preliminary investigation is opened. At Alex's high school, the director received messages calling him "illuminated".

With this tempest, some in the groupe got scared and gave up. Not Alex, who decided to start from scratch with a reckless kernel of his team. They are reproached taking blood from others ? They will take their own blood. Not in the streets, but in the first floor of a fast-food in Montpellier, transformed into a clandestine field hospital (with the complicity and help of the manager, a "yellow vest" supporter"). That day, "l'Obs" was present, and the maker of the cyanokits too, he came in person to supervise the operation. This time, the cyanide level is quantified. Alex analyses :
"We are passing from a 0 or 0,1 mg/l value before tear gas exposure to 0,7 mg/l, the dangerousness threshold being at 0,5mg/l. It's the sign that cyanide and tear gas are linked !"
But for toxicologists, the numbers from that non homologated kit will not be an official evidence. Alex went in person to a prestigious Belgian university to analyse the thiocyanate levels of the blood samples. 24 hours driving. The professors, very interested, received him for a long time but their laboratory declared itself incompetent. "They do not want to get involved, they know the French state will be confronting them" interprets Alex. Fear or not, he had to look somewhere else. Germans hesitated, sent him to a British lab which accepted. But when the tubes arrives, it was too late : "Pff… they are hemolyzed", sighs Alex. Translate it : dated.
They risk correctional court
The series continued, but we will pass the episodes. We will just note a mass spectrometry analysis with distribution of urine collection pots to "yellow vests". "They are very mistrustful. We collected only two samples, mine included" confesses Alex. Two, it's very few. But, for 50€ each analysis, he couldn't have paid much of them anyways. Including cyanokits, sending costs, analysis costs, lawyers, car transport, the teacher says he paid about 5000€, a big part of what he spared for his installation work in his new apartment.
He tells it with his unchangeable smile, nose and eyes narrowed. He says he doesn't care. What he cares more about, is this preliminary investigation opened for "endangering people's lives" and "prohibited interventional research". Beginning of July, himself and three doctors got convoked by justice and thoroughly interrogated. They risk correctional court. They should quit ? Why go on in such a mess of hassles ? "We will not drop it until a serious epidemiologic study starts". With the three doctors, Alex will call the High Authority of Health. Until then, he goes on digging.
About tear gas
Tear gas is a chemical compound causing eye and respiratory irritations. Like every chemical weapon, its usage is forbidden in the context of armed conflict by the international convention of Geneve (1993). Paradoxically it does not apply public order maintenance.
There are different kinds of gases. In France, police uses CS (chlorobenzylidene malononitrile) more and more massively, like the demonstrations showed it during the past years. The dangerousness of those gases is proportional to their concentration and depends on the conditions of their usage. Officially it is not lethal, but deaths have been reported by its usage in closed rooms, like during the Waco siege 1993 in the United States, or in Egypt and in Bahrein during population uprising.
In France, « CS concentration in grenades is 10%" tells us the general direction of the police, precising "It has been over 20 years that we are using this gas, if it was dangerous, we would have been the first victims, and police syndicates would have denounced it".

In Glen Oaks Turf, Inc. v. Butler 191 Ga. App. 840, 383 S.E.2d 203 (1989), the Court of Appeals Addressed the issue of whether or not an employee was a farm laborer under the definition of the act and, as such, not entitled to workers' compensation benefits. The Court of Appeals reversed and found that it was undisputed that the claimant was engaged only in the business of farming and therefore was a farm laborer. The Court of Appeals cited Larson's on Workers' Compensation, Section 53.33, Pages 9-205 (1986).

Jean Vanier, the Canadian philosopher who this week won the Templeton prize for progress in religion, is widely regarded as a saint, but I think he's wonderful because he's a sort of anti-missionary and unpreacher. His life's work is not a book – though he has written many – but a community, L'Arche, where the disabled are welcomed and treated as being of equal worth, perhaps greater worth, than their helpers.
And then he told a story about one of his workers cradling a prostitute dying of an overdose in a Sydney park. This could have been mawkish, but the point of the story was the dying man's rebuke: "You have always wanted to change me, but you have never met me." If it is possible to love our neighbours, that is how it must be done.

Saving Family Photos for a Millennium (Part 1)
Archivist love to tell us to digitize our photos.
They tell us to write them to CD or DVD. They point out that digital photos can be reproduced exactly with no loss of quality.
But those medias begin to degrade and drop bits in just 3 to 5 years.
The M-DISK is here. A M-DISK recorder will let you archive your photos on a new type of disk that will last for 1000 years.
You can play them on any DVD or Blu-Ray player.
Compare that to Kodak Kodachrome Slides. Kodachrome slides last much longer than other types of color film. They lose 20% of their color every 184 years. That is,,, If they are stored in perfect conditions, (cool, dry and dark). At that rate, they will be unusable 920 years.
If you project one Kodacolor slide in a modern projector for a total of ONE HOUR the slide will be unusable. That is the same as projecting it for one minute, every Christmas for 60 years.
The M-DISK DVD has the Kodachrome slide beat for storage longevity.
What about longer than 1000 years? Slides and photos degrade at some constant rate. If you made a copy every 10 years, the original has degraded, so, the copy starts out already degraded. Instead of extending the life of the image, you shorten it, because the copy is not a perfect reproduction of the degraded original. You can make exact copies of the ones and zeros on the digital M-DISK. In theory, you can reproduce exact digital copies forever.
So, your media will last 1000 years, but how do you view it 1000 years from now? Do you really think you will be able to find or buy a DVD player twenty years from now? How about 100 or 1000 years from now?
Technology Lifespan.
Slide Technology Lifespan.
You can store slides for several hundred years, and you can still see the faded image, but, can you view them 100 years from now? You can still find projectors on ebay, but the projector lamps are no longer made. The technology lifespan of the Kodachrome slides was from 1936 until July 14th, 2010 when the last roll was processed.
DVD Technology Lifespan
The physical DVD-BluRay disk sales reached a peak in 2004. By 2014, sales had decreased 30%.
Do you really think you will be able to find or buy a DVD player twenty years from now? How about 100 or 1000 years from now? Try to buy a VHS video recorder, or a PC with a Floppy disk. Each replacement technology has a shorter lifespan. Most of us now store our photos on memory sticks or USB hard drives. The USB standard will not last forever. Intel tells us that all new external devices will be wireless in the next year or two.
Which image will last the longest?
[A] A Kodachrome Slide.
[B] A digital image on a M-Disk.
[C] A sidewalk chalk drawing.
The answer in my next post.

Q: Microsoft SQL Server 2008 - Catching user role changes with SQL Server Profiler? I'm trying to figure out why one of my SQL server users keeps losing sysadmin role when I uninstall a particular program. Can I use the SQL Server Profiler to track down the action that causes this to happen? If so which events do I need to check off on the Events Selection screen?

A: The "Security Audit>Audit Add Login to Server Role Event" will capture role drops as well, not just role adds.  However, that one alone might not give you the information you're looking for, depending on what you need (such as the specific statement executed if necessary).  So you could also add the Stored Procedure>RPC: Completed event, and if you want to get really granular add the SP: StmtCompleted as well.
An alternative could also be to use a server-level DDL trigger.  I use a trigger on the ADD_SERVER_ROLE_MEMBER event so I can catch if one of my admins decides to throw someone into the sysadmin role without my knowledge.  In my case I have an admin database with a table designed to store DDL event info and I insert a record for this type of event, among others.  The full list of events you can create a trigger on is here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb522542.aspx and there are good basic examples of how to use these events in T-SQL in the trigger body here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms175941.aspx

With its new Escape, Ford Motor Co. is removing any suggestion that its fourth-generation compact SUV can venture farther off road than the parking lot of a warehouse shopping club.
The 2020 Escape, on sale this fall, is lower, wider and longer than the current model. Its carlike styling includes a shield-shaped grille inspired by the Mustang, one of the few survivors in Ford's purge of traditional passenger cars. The lower front end borrows from the $450,000 Ford GT supercar.
Under its sporty new look is an array of efficient powertrains, including a standard 1.5 liter, turbocharged 3-cylinder engine. Engineers expect it to put out 180 horsepower and 177 pound-feet of torque on premium gasoline. Ford also will launch the 2020 Escape with a hybrid that can run on electric-only power up to 85 mph, a plug-in hybrid and two turbocharged four-cylinder engines.
The crossover will make its public debut at the New York International Auto Show this month.
The Escape is Ford's second-best-selling vehicle behind the F-Series pickup trucks. Since debuting in 2001, more than 4.5 million Escapes have been sold in North America. More than 98 percent of them are still on the road, according to IHS Markit.
Where Escape once had few competitors, today it competes in the industry's largest and fastest-growing segment. Compact SUV sales grew 12.6 percent in 2018, topping 3.5 million units. Ford predicts the number of entries will expand from 22 to 30 by 2022.
Sales of the Escape dropped 12 percent to 272,228 units last year. Escape was the fifth-best selling compact SUV, behind popular crossovers like the Toyota RAV4 and Nissan Rogue and ahead of the rising Jeep Cherokee.
Ford's answer to these challengers is to target a single group of buyers.
Ford can do this because it plans another utility vehicle following the Escape, said Hua Thai-Ting, Ford's executive vice president of product development and purchasing. Timing and a name will be announced later, Thai-Ting said.
The follow-on compact SUV is expected to be a rugged entry that media and analysts call the "Baby Bronco," after the full-size Bronco SUV returning to Ford's lineup as a 2021 model after a 25-year hiatus.
The Escape's sloped roofline and compact stance are deceiving. Head, shoulder, hip, knee and legroom measurements all eclipse those of the current model. Gasoline-powered versions feature a sliding second-row seat that offers six additional inches of legroom. When in the full-forward position, the rear cargo area expands to 37.5 cubic feet, enough for four bags of golf clubs or a full-size dog crate.
Customers, however, may see the Escape as small compared with the latest Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V and Chevrolet Equinox models.
"AutoPacific's research consistently shows that Americans like their SUVs to look big and substantial even if they're aren't," Kim said.
Two new hybrid powertrains propel the 2020 Escape as the auto industry embraces electrified vehicles.
The fourth-generation hybrid system standard on Escape SE Sport and Titanium models provides a combined 198 horsepower and total driving range of 550 miles. The electric-only top speed is an estimated 85 mph.
Ford's first Escape plug-in hybrid arrives in early 2020. It is shooting for an EPA-best 30-plus miles of electric-only range. The battery charges in about 11 hours using a 110-volt charging cord. A 240-volt charger drops that to about 3.5 hours.
Both hybrid models feature four settings, including a new EV Charge mode that charges the battery to 80-90 percent of capacity while driving, generating electric-only miles to use later.
"You do burn more fuel, but it's really about giving you the flexibility to drive the way you want and manage the energy," said Alan Dona, Ford hybrid calibration manager.
In addition to the small engine, Ford will offer a new 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine in the top-of-the-line Titanium. It is projected to produce up to 250 horsepower and 275 pound-feet of torque. It is capable of towing 3,500 pounds.
The Escape comes closer to the realm of device than machine.
A 12.3-inch all-digital instrument cluster also used on the GT, Mustang and new Explorer shows a color graphic for each ride setting – normal, eco, sport, slippery, plus snow and sand conditions.
An 8-inch touch screen standard on the SE and higher-level trims displays optional Sync 3 connectivity, which is compatible with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Ford+Alexa and Waze navigation. Titanium models offer a 6-inch head's up display on the windshield for directions and other info.
The Escape accommodates up to 10 internet-enabled devices up to 50 feet from the vehicle. Two of four plugs offer fast-charging USB-C connections along with three 12-volt sockets.
The Escape comes standard with Co-Pilot360, a system of 17 sensors, two cameras and radar. It controls automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring and a lane-keeping system that can nudge a drifting car back into its lane.
Optional driver convenience systems include adaptive cruise control that will automatically restart within three seconds of a stop. Lane-centering technology provides an added layer of driving safety by detecting lane markings to prevent the Escape from drifting out of its lane.
A new feature called evasive steering assist lets the driver choose to steer around a stopped car or obstacle in its path, canceling automatic emergency braking.
The 2019 Ford Escape is a five-seat car-based SUV that competes with the Hyundai Santa Fe, Toyota RAV4 and Honda CR-V.

Q: Access Violation When Opening Project Options I am using RADStudio 10 Seattle Update 1 on Windows 10 x64. I am getting an Access Violation intermittently when opening the Project Options (by right-clicking on the project, then selecting Options). I have Googled for a solution several times but have found none.
I have tried:

*

*Disabling DEP

*Restarting the IDE

*

*this resolves the immediate error, and after it starts back up I can access the Project Options again, at least until the next time it happens.

*Recreating the project.dproj by renaming and double-clicking the project.dpr to recreate

*Uninstalling all third party components

*Uninstalling the IDE completely, restarting the computer, and re-installing the IDE

None of these solutions seem to help. This is not happening on any specific project. It has happened to every single project I have worked on (since XE6) at least once. The problem is shared by my coworkers.

It took an hour to be able to finally get this screen shot after I started writing this post. Nothing unusual happened. I was looking through the suggested articles to make sure I hadn't overlooked something, and when I went back to the IDE and tried to go into the Project Options it happened. I must have tried 20 times over the past hour to make it happen.
Even though this is just a nusance and I can work around it, if there is a permanent solution I would love to fix this for good.

Walked in and got a great haircut and just awesome overall service from Maddy. Would highly recommend and will be coming back.
Same review as everyone else. I arrived at 3:30 on a Wednesday and not a sole was to be found. Some business they run here and defiantly not a good way to impress a new customer... back to great clips for me.
My experience is almost identical to Tyler W.'s experience: I arrived over an hour before the store's stated closing, and doors were closed and locked, the lights off and no one answered when I knocked. It makes one wonder if they are still in business, or with this lack of service, if they should continue to be business.

Q: SSH like, simple vpn for Win2012 -> 2012 for SQL Log shipping? On linux, you can fire up a quick and dirty port redirection via ssh, and do scp etc.
One or two commands on each side, and you are cooking. Chron job to check it is up and restart it if nec.
E.g. on linux I can do this:
ssh -f user@other-server.com -L 2000:other-server.com:25 -N

And voila. My local port 2000 is now routed to the remote server's port 25. No wizards. No mucking around (at least on the "client" side of the story).
What is the simple, direct, way to do this on windows?
The Windows VPN docs I have found so far are .... long.
What is the fast way to get a secure tunnel for file copies up across data centers (no common domain, etc).
Win2012.

A: You can run the same command you listed in the Cygwin bash (or other) shell.  Cygwin is a Linux-like environment for Windows that includes bash and ssh.

If they can convince Manchin and Senema to kill the filibuster, congress can pass bills and make them exempt from Supreme Court review. It's rare, but it has been considered quite a bit in the past. There was a whole movement to remove the Supreme Court from reviewing issues like school prayer and marriage equality, with conflicting memos from Ted Olson (against it) versus John Roberts (for it):
Court Stripping Movement
It's ironic that John Roberts, now the Chief Justice was in favor of stripping the rights of the Supreme Court from reviewing constitutionality, and leaving that to congress!

A girl walks through NYC. She seems lost and is checking her phone and trying to ask for directions. She is freaked out by a bunch of breakfancers who then try to take her purse. A homeless guy with mental health issues also scares her.
Later, Shaw and Cosgrove find the girl's body. A cop that is reminiscent of Blue Bloods' Eddie Janko says a white male w a baseball cap has been reported as having stolen the pink purse. The girl was from Austin, TX.
Cosgrove questions a witness who heard the girl scream and saw the mugger. She saw his face. Another witness complains about the crime in the city. A uniformed cop wastes everyone's time harassing a person of color when the perp is white and gets lectured by Shaw before Cosgrove catches a potential perp, but it's not him.
The victim was Becca Carter, the daughter of the governor of Texas. Dixon says that the governor was on Fox saying there's too much crime in liberal cities. This is going to be a controversial case.
Security footage shows a possible suspect, Caberra.
Cosgrove tries to tell Shaw he didn't agree with the uniform earlier but the suspect shows up and promptly runs away. The cops give chase. The suspect hits Shaw in the head with a chair in a stairwell bt Shaw seems to be okay somehow. Cosgrove corners the suspect who jumps onto a sidewalk. Satisfyingly, Shaw gets him.
The suspect insists he didn't kill anyone. Shaw says they have video while Cosgrove talks to Dixon. The suspect says he was at work late and running to his second job. Shaw suggests he stop hitting cops with chairs.
The governor of Texas does a press conference vowing not to leave until he gets justice for his daughter and demanding a federal response. The cops introduce themselves. He apologizes to them for his harshness and says his daughter was here on a college visit at Tompkins. Mother says she told her the city was too dangerous.
The cops go to the university. The dean says Becca didn't seem interested in being here. She was also arguing with her student host.
The host says she was angry that Becca wasn't taking the program seriously. Becca refused to go to class this morning and that's why she had a fight with her. She knew that Becca met someone at a local cafe.
The cops get security footage and finds out that Becca met a woman. Cosgrove recognizes her -- she's the witness who called 911.
Cosgrove has ID'd the woman as Drea Clark, also of Austin. They likely traveled together. Cosgrove guesses they were having an affair and Clark killed her. Dixon says no there was another witness. But the other witness only saw a white male running away.
The cops monitor Drea. They catch her at Port Authority, waiting for a bus. She tells the cops she is going home. She knows she lied but it's not what they think. She is arrested and says she was trying to protect Becca. She swears she had nothing to do with the murder. She is a volunteer for an organization that assisted women in traveling out of Texas to get abortions. Since Texas has banned abortion, Becca didn't know what else to do. Dixon asks how this works. Drea says the cover story was Becca's idea. She was looking for logistical support and had to be careful because of her dad. The medical abortion made her very sick. Drea says Becca was very brave and went back to the school the next morning. She was supposed to take her to a followup appointment but when she got there, BEcca was being murdered. She didn't tell the cops to respect Becca's privacy.
A doctor confirms Becca had a medical abortion. Cosgrove says that Becca was 17 so her father had a right to know.
The detectives question Becca's boyfriend. The governor refuses to allow them privacy. The cops have to ask about the abortion in front of him. Ty says he wanted her to get that abortion. The father kicks the cops out. They ask him for his alibi. He won't talk without a lawyer. The mother cries.
The flight manifest shows that Becca's brother Blake was not on the same flight. The cops realize Blake might be the murderer!
Blake is arrested and the governor threatens to ruin the cops' careers.
Marhoun says that Becca's possessions were in Blake's room, including the pill bottle. Meanwhile Carter has been on Hannity discrediting the witness as an abortion activist. Also, McCoy doesn't like Price calling the mother as a witness. Price has evidence the mother knew that Becca was pregnant. McCoy is worried about the jury's reaction to going after a grieving mother. Price says but this will show the jury how hypocritical she is. McCoy warns Price to be careful and that the right to choose isn't on trial here.
At trial, Barbara testifies. She knew Becca was pregnant and asked Blake to find her. She claims she was worried about her as was Blake. She says Blake was upset but we are a pro-life family. She refuses to read a text until the judge makes her. The text was Blake saying he would kill Becca. Blake dkd not tell her what happened. However she says Blake would not hurt his sister and says how dare you patronize me? Price apologizes. The defense attorney offers condolences and not cross-examination.
Drea tells Marhoun she is not going to testify.
It turns out Drea is worried about going to jail -- she's pleading the fifth. McCoy says there is no such law. There is. Drea can be charged with federal kidnapping and get 10 years in prison. McCoy is disgusted that an abortion activist would not take a stand on someone killed for having an abortion, but they have no jurisdiction to provide her immunity and they have almost no case. They only have the other witness.
Simone testifies. She IDs Blake as the attacker.
The defense attorney gets up and she is forced to admit that she didn't see Blake. The defense attorney asks if she has been pregnant and claims that they nened to show bias. The judge won't allow it but Simone doesn't care and says she will talk about it. She admits an abortion saved her life two years ago and she won't let him make her feel bad about it. She says she is aware the family is pro some lives. The attorney claims she has a problem with his client. She says she doesn't care about his client as she is lucky enough to live in a state where abortion is legal. On redirect she says again that she saw Blake.
Blake is called to the stand next. Blake says his mother asked him to track Becca down and he used the Maps app to find her. She was upset when he found her and confessed she had an abortion. He was angry but it was so heartbroken and Becca knew she had made a mistake. He denies attacking her. He claims that Becca wanted to keep the baby and Drea forced her to go through with this. He went to get her water and when he came back she was arguing with the woman and the woman pushed her. He panicked and took off. He didn't tell the cops because he wanted justice.
Price cross-examines and questions how Blake could not tell anyone. Blake says the lawyers told him not to. Blake denies pushing Becca. Marhoun thinks the jury will see right through this. Price hopes so.
Marhoun meets Drea at a bar. She promises she's only here to get a drink. Drea says her phone has been blowing up. Becca didn't regret her decision. Marhoun thinks it's a shame no one will get to hear that. She asks why Drea volunteered. Drea wanted to help. It was supposed to be anonymous. And if she testifies she could go to prison. Marhoun says if she doesn't, Becca will be used to scare other women out of having abortions. Drea doesn't want to sacrifice herself. Marhoun says it is her choice. That's the point.
Drea testifies. (Note: can the prosecution unrest once it rests?). She saw Blake shove Becca.
The jury finds Blake guilty of murder. His mother cries.
There are protesters outside. Drea doesn't want a police escort through the protesters. She is going back to Texas to help women who have no voice. Someone shoots her as she walks away. Marhoun is shocked.

Јејска превлака () акумулативна је пешчана превлака на јужној обали Таганрошког залива Азовског мора. Административно припада Јејском рејону Краснодарске Покрајине Русије. Представља северни продужетак Јејског полуострва и са запада одваја Јејски лиман од отвореног мора.

Тренутна дужина превлаке је око 3 километра, до 1914. њена дужина је била преко 9 км али је услед јаког олујног ветра који је захватио то подручје 13. марта 1914. расцепкана на бројна мања острва.

Јужно од превлаке налази се град Јејск.

China's NIO EP9 electric supercar packs 1,360 hp
Jacob Oliva on Nov 30, 2016
You are here: Home Latest Stories News China's NIO EP9 electric supercar packs 1,360 hp
Chinese electric car company, NextEV, recently launches NIO, a sub brand under its umbrella. This brand new name came with its first electric supercar called EP9 – and it's not just any ordinary electric car.
The NIO EP9 is claimed to be the world's fastest electric supercar, beating lap records on both Nürburgring Nordschleife in Germany and Circuit Paul Ricard in France. The new electric supercar lapped the 20.8 km German track in 7m 05.12s, while setting the French circuit ablaze in 1m 52.78s. Both lap times superseded the record held by an electric vehicle on the mentioned tracks.
To give you an idea how fast that was, the previous record by an electric car in Nürburgring was set by a Mercedes-AMG SLS, which recorded a lap time of 7m 56.23s in 2013.
Today we launched our electric supercar that broke the record at the Nordschliefe. The NIO EP9 was born to push limits and is the first stage of automotive production for NIO. It is a statement of our vision and technical and manufacturing capabilities.
William Li
NextEV Founder and Chairman
Powering the NIO EP9 are 4 high-performance motors with individual gearboxes. Altogether, it has a maximum output of 1,360 hp, which makes it capable of reaching 200 km/h in just 7.1 seconds. It also has a maximum speed of 313 km/h.
With its intricately designed exterior and record-breaking performance, the NIO EP9 is definitely a supercar, albeit, powered by an interchangeable battery system. The power source can be fully charged in 45 minutes and has a range of 427 kilometers.
Meanwhile, inside the EP9 is an integrated e-control system layout that could fit autonomous driving technology in the future.
Lastly, the EP9 has a carbon cockpit and chassis that can handle the demands of a car with 3G cornering capabilities. It's also claimed to have structural solidity and aero efficiency, achieving 24,000 Newtons of downforce at 240 km/h.
Unfortunately, the NIO EP9 won't be something you'll see everyday on the road as only 6 of its kind will be built for China next year.

There's something about poker, it's hard to resist. As a contest of pure will and skill, the game is woven into our culture. From the raw engine rooms and age in western glitz and glamor of a Las Vegas casino, poker, our imagination like no other game for the first drama inherent in the game a lot of material for writers Hollywood offered trapped. Some of his best efforts.
Looking to the thrill of victory and the destructive potential of the addiction to gambling, the poker movie of Generation X. When a young poker prodigy (Matt Damon) loses everything in a high stakes game that promises, which has always done. His desire is only a short time when his own love of poker and card shark shadow (Edward Norton) brings you back to the table. Look for the cameo by poker legend Johnny Chan, who plays in a match against Matt Damon's character.
Maverick takes us on a trip to an idealized Old West and how we imagine the game being played on excursion boats yesterday tail. A remake of the 1950 television series of the same name, Mel Gibson plays a charming con man who tries everything possible to increase the buy-in for a tournament of high risk. There are a lot of light humor in the way and some fun tricks and turns. See Danny Glover, a bank robber and a tribute to his work plays with Gibson in the Lethal Weapon series.
A true classic with Steve McQueen as a child in question, a young rising star who is trying his luck in New Orleans in 1930. He has the skills to be a champion, but the odds are against you from the beginning, when he discovered the impact of crime and corruption in the world of poker. McQueen plays the great Edward G. Robinson, and the chemistry between these different generations of actors is one of the best parts of the film.
Another very popular film in the 1930s, attempts to tell the story of Oscar-winning two small potato thieves (Paul Newman and Robert Redford), a corrupt banker cheating as revenge for a murder. With many twists and a private poker game crucial, the two men are finally ready to take your plan. The trick to set the standard for the type of caper film still remains one of the best examples.
Two pair, aces and eights are known as Dead Man's Hand. It's the Wild West legend Wild Bill Hickok was holding when he was shot in the back and was killed in Deadwood. It is also the treatment in the hands climax of this classic western about a Mr. Tim Madigan rogue player with a sweet spot. The player (Tim McCoy) comes with a Mexican family in danger of losing his ranch a few unscrupulous characters. Madigan finally confronts bad guys in a poker showdown with game ranch in the future, though the film seems dated in places, is undoubtedly one of the earliest examples of a classic poker.


Last week we began a discussion on the concept of tithing. We started by asking the discussion groups to tell us their definition of what a tithe is, how it makes them feel and to discuss what they think/feel when they see a beggar at the end of a highway entrance ramp.
I love the honesty of our Bible study group. It is always refreshing for me to hear heart felt honest responses vs the typical "sunday school answers" that adults often give.
– The word "tithe" is mentioned very rarely in the New Testament. When it is mentioned it is in reference to the Jews and their religious responsibility. It was never mentioned as a command the early church to tithe or "give a tenth" of their possessions and a weekly, monthly or yearly basis.
– The word "give" is mentioned a lot. When it is mentioned it brings with it a responsibility for us to take care of the poor, the widows, the orphans and others that can't take care of themselves.
In the modern day church we have begun to believe a lie, and that lie is that we are commanded to give 10% of all we have to the church. Please understand, I am not saying it is a sin to give 10% of your earnings to the church. All I am saying is that it is a lie to say that it was commanded of the New Testament Church.
GIVING was the command to the new believers!
– Tithing creates a legalistic responsibility that seems to absolve us of the responsibility of taking care of the poor. When we give our "required tithe" to the church, we often think that now it is the church's responsibility to take care of the needy. It's almost a "I gave at the office" mentality.
– Tithing creates difficulty for to poor, not the rich. A rich person can give 10% of their income and live in relative comfort; they sacrifice comforts. A poor person giving 10% is giving away food money.
– Tithing creates a weekly or monthly check to be written and handed off. Our obligation is met. It's now someone else's responsibility to manage the money and the needs of the community.
– Tithing creates legalism that robs the person of their daily responsibility to discern needs, and their ability to channel the Holy Spirit to understand what their responsibility is to do.
– Giving is about responsibility. Responsibility to manage our resources well. (Matthew 25:14-29) Responsibility to take care of those in need. If I am responsible to manage my money well and use it to take care of needs, then I am paying more attention to the needs of those around me.
We are too often fooled into believing that money is given to us as a "blessing;" that it is to be spent on ourselves. If we do that, we have our rewards here on earth. The truth is that more money is given because we have been responsible with the little we had before. (Matthew 25:14-29) It will either become a temptation to horde and trust ourselves to bless ourselves via our "investments," or we will continue to invest into the Kingdom of God and store up our treasures in heaven.
We will continue our studies on this throughout the month of October, and I promise that it will be a large part of our conversations moving forward. NOT because we are trying to get you to give to a building fund, but because Jesus talked about money being a very dangerous tool that the demonic use to tempt us.
What is your view of money? Is it yours to spend, or has it been entrusted to you to invest? Are you investing in worldly blessings or are you truly investing in treasures in heaven?

There's no need to tell how much popular and widely used the Eclipse platform is. And the huge success of it lies in its extensibility.
It is extensible through the means of extension points (well defined exposed places/hooks for others to provide extended functionality) and plugins ( providing extended functionality using existing extension points and optionally exposing new extension points). Eclipse itself is made up of many and many of plugins built around the small core runtime engine capable of dynamic discovery, loading, and running of plug-ins.
In this post I'm not going to provide a hello-world plugin tutorial or introduction of Eclipse platform (as you can find many good ones on net). I'm going to share what difficulty I faced when I started plugin development. After reading some introduction tutorials I wanted to know quickly which extension points I need to use for some particular tasks. Once we know the name of extension point we can find the details in official eclipse documentation (Extension Points Reference) or even better within platform itself (Plugin Development Environment) when trying to add an extension point it gives the description and sample implementation (if available) to understand.
So I'll focus on quick introduction (to help you get started with further links) of some common extension points and when we can use them (not how) (considered release is Eclipse Juno). If you need introduction for Eclipse Plugin Development, you can read first http://www.vogella.com/articles/EclipsePlugIn/article.html for example or request google for other ones.
But before understanding the various extension points, we need to understand the Platform structure and few terms.
The various subsystems (on top of Platform Runtime) as described above define many extension points to provide the additional related functionality.
Below are the various components of the workbench UI.
Now below describes the common functionality you want to extend/customize and which extensions points are your friends.
I hope it helps someone in the similar need. Let me know if it is useful or if you have any suggestions for improvement.

Q: Selenium html webdriver Unable to locate element I tried looking around for this error, but most of the time the problem was spelling errors, and I triple checked my spelling.
So here is the problem. I want to navigate around a website. I have this as my code:
WebDriver driver = new HtmlUnitDriver();
driver.get("http://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgTables");
WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.name("hgta_doFilterPage"));
element.submit();
WebElement filter = driver.findElement(By.name("hgta_fil.v.hg19.refGene.name.pat"));
filter.sendKeys("");

I am trying to go to the website listed, go down to the 'filter' page section, click create and then enter some values on the next page in the 'name' section and then submit again.
But I am getting this error:
Exception in thread "main" org.openqa.selenium.NoSuchElementException: Unable to locate element with name: hgta_fil.v.hg19.refGene.name.pat

John Barnes asks, "Here's another one for you to chew on Carl Tuttle, where exactly is the mission field, going on a missions trip, missions ministry. Have at it!"
OK John and others - here are some thoughts on that: First of all, we live in a country in which most evangelical churches have adopted or gravitated towards a consumer-driven 'attractional' approach (in other words 'if you build it, produce it, provide it...they will come.') And I can't say that it doesn't work. What I do think I can safely say, is it doesn't produce disciples - the very thing we are commissioned to do. Therefore, in the vast majority of these churches...we are lucky if 20% of the people do 80% of the work. I won't say that people don't come to Christ through this avenue...they do. What I will say is that we certainly are not producing disciples. Jesus said to 'make disciples' 'teaching them to obey'. A disciple is not one who serves various ministries of a church, occupied with responsibilities and activity. A disciple is not someone who has bought into the pastor's or church's vision. A disciple is one who has encountered the living Christ, died to self and now live and orders their life around the purposes and plan of God. One whose time, money, body, energy, thoughts and attitudes are owned by Jesus. Disciples seek to imitate Christ and walk in love as ones who are dearly loved. Service within the community of faith, the Church, is based on serving others in the way He served us. He laid down his life.
Those who 'lead' in the Church are not meant to be served, but are to serve the community. Teaching, pastoring (caring for) maturing the gathered community. That includes not doing everything and letting others watch, but It means enfolding others in service by bringing them along side, modeling for them, equipping and releasing others to do 'the work of the ministry'.
How that relates to missions, the mission, doing the work of a missionary? It's the foundation upon which we build - it's the launching pad. It begins in first in our homes...then our neighborhoods, our places of work, our cities, other nations. But it flows from a relationship of submission to the priorities of the Kingdom and an eternal perspective. Again it's who we are not what we do.
Activity does not equal ministry. Wimber used to say, "we're an army not an audience" - and for the first several years of the church - I'd say as long as 20 years - he made no room for anything else. He would say commitment to Christ equaled commitment to His Church and His cause.
A little story: For years we met in temporary facilities. We rolled out carpet, set up chairs, the sound, the stage, the whole thing. We did that for a couple thousand people for years. We had arrive early in the morning and begin by rolling out carpet to protect the gymnasium floor. The chair were stored about 100 yards from the building. Every Sunday morning John and Carol Wimber would be there engaged in the process. I remember John rolling racks of chairs up the hill to the gymnasium, sweating profusely. We had bleachers that were pulled out for some of the seating and Carol would wipe down all of the seating areas. All that to say, that during all that time - they continued to see their role as serving God's people. Even after he became 'John Wimber'. They always saw themselves as having given up ownership of their lives the day they met Christ.
John would say, 'there's no magic in a plane ride' - meaning if you're not doing it where you live, what makes you think you're going to do it somewhere else.
It's just my opinion, but I think we have developed too many models of and for ministry that don't reflect the values of the Kingdom. Everything flows from loving God with our whole heart and others as ourselves. A devoted follower of Jesus doesn't need to be motivated or convinced to serve...it's just what a devoted follower of Jesus does. I sometimes wonder how many people would flee from the Church if we began 'teaching them to obey all he has commanded' - in place of trying to figure out what people like, want or desire? Let me repeat one thing: You don't have to motivate a devoted follower of Jesus! You don't have to convince them of their mission or purpose. It's not what they do, it's who they are.


REGIONAL—Area dairy farmer-owners of Associated Milk Producers Inc. have elected the officers who will represent them in cooperative business activities in 2018.
AMPI member-owners heard reports on the status of the milk marketing business and elected officers during the District 50 meeting held Nov. 10 in the Sanborn Community Center.
The district includes AMPI members living in the Iowa counties of Audubon, Buena Vista, Carroll, Cherokee, Crawford, Dickinson, Emmet, Hancock, Humboldt, Ida, Kossuth, Lyon, O'Brien, Osceola, Palo Alto, Plymouth, Pocahontas, Sac, and Sioux.
Mark Sipma of Boyden, director.
"Serving in an elected position is one way AMPI member-owners take an active role in overseeing the farm-to-market business in which we share ownership," Pausma said.
Among other duties, district officers review co-op business operations.
AMPI is headquartered in New Ulm, MN.
The cooperative's member-owners annually market about 5.5 billion pounds of milk, resulting in $1.6 billion in sales.
AMPI owns 10 Midwest-based manufacturing plants where 10 percent of the nation's American-type cheese, butter and dried whey is produced.
The cooperative's award-winning dairy products are marketed to food service, retail and food ingredient customers.

And perhaps, Richard," he concluded, with a last lingering look at the old pile as he turned his horses, "perhaps some day, I shall remember what you told us at Brooks's." It was thus, boyishly, that Mr. Fox chose to take me into his confidence, an honour which I shall remember with a thrill to my dying day. So did he reveal to me the impulses of his early life, hidden forever from his detractors.
"But I thought " He did not finish; did not say that he had thought Christine cared too much for him ever to give a thought to another fellow. He turned his head against the cushions and pretended to sleep, and presently Sangster went quietly away. He thought that Christine had well, not behaved badly. How could anyone blame her for anything she chose to do or not to do, after what had occurred?
It was a common remark among some of the good people that he never had a word to say to a Christian soul, while others declared that though he spoke beautifully when he chose to, there was something wrong in his accent.
But in doing so we should all save one another; in not doing so we are likely all to ruin one another. France is the mainspring of the new mechanism, and Paris the control. That is why I chose to go to Paris last so that all, even London, could be related to her. The initiative in European politics is taken by France and she has the most active policy.

And what opinion Caesar himself had of him well appeared when for the final battle in Pharsalia, which was to determine everything, he himself chose to lead the right wing, committing the charge of the left to Antony, as to the best officer of all that served under him.
One would not have the books not written on any account; but one feels that they were written rather because the author chose to do so than because he could not help it. Now it is possible to exaggerate the necessity of "mission" and the like: but, after all, Ich kann nicht anders must be to some extent the mood of mind of the man who is committing a masterpiece.
His long, lean body, coarse, toil-worn hands, and shabby clothing indicated, too, that the lines of the Rev. Wilfrid had not been cast in a pleasant place when he chose the wild, unhealthy island of Mayou as the field of his labours.
They sent him out to reform: whether they chose well or ill does not signify. I think, upon the whole, they chose well; because his name and authority could do much. They sent him out to redress the grievances of that country, and it was necessary he should be well armed for that service. They sent him out with such powers as no servant of the Company ever held before.
He also mixed his lies with Christ's truths, until in time the pure gospel was not to be found on the earth. This was the condition of the world for hundreds of years. Then the Lord wished to restore the true gospel and again establish his Church on the earth. He therefore chose a place where all would have the right to believe the truth and be protected in that liberty.

Amir Sasson - Director of externally funded research and innovation
Sasson's new role makes him a strategic force of BI's externally funded research.
Professor Amir Sasson is now appointed Director of externally funded research and innovation. The role is a four-year academic fixed-term, reporting to Pro-Rector for research and professional resources.
- External funding beyond tuition fees will become more important for BI's overall economy in the years ahead, President Inge Jan Henjesand says.
Sasson will work with research and education activities that can establish BI as an even more relevant and important expert on competence towards the various target areas. This applies to business, government business policy initiatives, and modernisation of the public sector. To achieve this he will work closely with the respective academic environments.
- The government has clear expectations that we, as a research institution, will increase our revenues from the EU programs and from the Research Council and that we will cooperate more closely with business and society. We will do this in such a way that it helps develop our academic environment, and we will demonstrate how BI's business subjects are key in meeting industry- and society's challenges. I'm glad to have Amir Sasson on board to help realise these aspirations, President Henjesand continues.
Broad and international experience
Professor Amir Sasson has a PhD from BI. After he completed his doctorate, he was hired by University College Dublin in Ireland, where he worked from 2006 to 2008. Amir returned to BI as Associate Professor at the Department of Strategy in 2008 and became a professor in 2015.
- I look forward to working with Amir Sasson to bring greater awareness to externally funded research in the near future, Pro-Rector Ulf Henning Olsson said. - This is of great strategic importance for BI.
Amir has experience from both Norwegian and international academic environments, through research visits and teaching at institutions such as Stanford University, Israel Institution of Technology, AMPLI Kaplan UCD in Singapore and Hong Kong. He has been supervisor for both MSC and PhD students. He also has a long list of publications in reputable journals.
- I am honoured to be given the opportunity to work on projects which are very close to my heart but are for the benefit of our BI community. The relationship between BI and the business community has always been a vital element of our competitive position. Over the years, we have been involved in numerous applied projects that enhanced our reputation and the quality of our teaching. In addition, BI's goal of increasing our impact requires that we participate in externally financed research to a larger degree than we have seen until now. My aim is to ensure that WE, through increased level of participation in the above mentioned activities, will be the essential competent partner in discussions of contemporary business and public policy challenges, says Amir Sasson.

Florence, Italy 29 March 2019 - Powersoft will return to Messe Frankfurt in force for this year's Prolight + Sound (PL+S) with a full suite of industry audio solutions, including the brand new X4L amplifier; the LOTO DSP 1-2 in / 4 out Advanced DSP board; the DSP-Lite ETH 1-2 in / 3 out DSP interface; and an update for its Snapshot Selector mobile app.
Compatible with Digimod PFC2- PFC4, M-Drive, Litemod family, and Minimod4 amp modules, LOTO is ideal for any application with high processing and digital audio networking requirements and represents the perfect built in DSP for top-level multi-way systems and line arrays where complete control and premium performances are needed.
Following its successful launch at NAMM, another of Powersoft's latest touring products - the T Series - will be presented to PL+S visitors. The T Series consists of both 2- and 4-channel models available in 3,000 W and 6,000 W versions supporting channel powers from 750 W to 3,000 W in a single rack unit. All models can deliver the same high peak voltage and can drive single 8/16 ohm cabinets at full SPL, making the T Series a cost-effective solution for small systems without boxes in parallel. The high voltage can also be used for power sharing between channels for applications such as bi-amped loudspeakers or subwoofers with passive tops.
