Washington DC: For bringing permanent Indo-Pak peace, the Obama administration must push Pakistan to hand over LeT terrorists responsible for the Mumbai attacks and underworld don Dawood Ibrahim to India, a former top White House official has said. Besides helping the two countries pave the way for a constructive dialogue on Kashmir, the US needs to disrupt the LeT's fundraising and planning, said Juan C Zarate, who was the Deputy Assistant to the US President and Deputy National Security Adviser for Combating Terrorism from 2005 to 2009. 'The focus should be on unearthing names and disrupting cells outside Pakistan that are tied to Lashkar-e-Taiba, which involves pressuring Islamabad for the names of Westerners who may have trained at Lashkar-e-Taiba camps,' he wrote in an opinion piece in 'The Washington Post'. He said the Obama administration must push Pakistan to hand over LeT terrorists responsible for the Mumbai attacks and Dawood Ibrahim to India, in order to bring permanent peace between the two countries. Currently a senior adviser at the Centre for Strategic and International Studies, a Washington-based think-tank, Zarate warned that LeT would try to derail the future Indo-Pak talks. 'The group does not want peace talks to resume, so it might act to derail progress. Elements of the group may see conflict with India as in their interest, especially after months of unrest in Kashmir. And the Pakistani government may not be able to control the monster it created,' he wrote. A war in South Asia would be disastrous, he said. In addition to the human devastation, it would destroy efforts to bring stability to the region and disrupt terrorist havens in western Pakistan, he said. 'Worse, the Pakistani government might be induced to make common cause with Lashkar-e-Taiba, launching a proxy fight against India. Such a war would also fuel even more destructive violent extremism within Pakistan,' he wrote. 'In the worst-case scenario, an attack could lead to a nuclear war between India and Pakistan. India's superior conventional forces threaten Pakistan, and Islamabad could resort to nuclear weapons were a serious conflict to erupt,' Zarate said. Noting that LeT is a Frankenstein's monster of the Pakistani government's creation 20 years ago, Zarate said Lashkar holds the match that could spark a conflagration between nuclear-armed India and Pakistan. The US should be directing political and diplomatic capital to prevent such a conflagration. The meeting between Indian and Pakistani officials in Bhutan this month - their first high-level sit-down since last summer - set the stage for restarting serious talks on the thorny issue of Kashmir, Zarate wrote. 'Washington has only so much time. Indian officials are increasingly dissatisfied with Pakistan's attempts to constrain Lashkar-e-Taiba and remain convinced that Pakistani intelligence supports the group,' he wrote in the Post.

LaPorte man accused of raping 8-year-old at Stone Lake Beach
Posted: Jul 11, 2014 5:29 PM EST | Updated: Nov 6, 2014 6:15 AM EST
LAPORTE, Ind. -- A 50-year-old LaPorte man has been arrested for allegedly sexually assaulting an 8-year-old girl at Stone Lake Beach.
Gary W. Cooper faces charges of rape and child molestation.
According to investigators, LaPorte Police were called to Stone Lake Beach at 12:33 p.m.
Wednesday to investigate an attempted child abduction.
Investigators learned Cooper approached the girl while she was alone on the hill and allegedly lured her away and sexually assaulted her.
Witnesses who saw Cooper around the park earlier led police to a residence on CR725W in LaPorte.
Friday, hundreds of people were at the beach. Some knew about the assault.
"This little girl was with her family and it's like how can a stranger lure them away and something happens and you're not even aware of it? It's extremely scary," said Anna Lenardson of LaPorte.
Some visitors had no idea what happened.
"To know that happened there is just horrible because you don't think it and then when something happens, you know you're not safe anywhere, anything can happen," said Corey Crowel of LaPorte.
They were all relieved to hear someone had been arrested, but parents were cautious anyway.
"My daughter as we were talking to her earlier said they gave the lecture, no wandering, no going to the restrooms by yourselves, you stay put so that we can see you at all times," said Lenardson.
There is no known connection between Cooper and the girl or her family.
Cooper is being held in the LaPorte County jail on $10,000 cash bond.

ITV Renews 'Foyle's War' For Season Nine
By Patrick Munn | November 20, 2013 - 12:53 pm | No Comments
Following the successful re-tooling of the series last season, ITV has order a ninth season of their period drama Foyle's War. The commercial broadcaster has ordered three two-hour episodes, all of which will be written by series creator Anthony Horowitz. Production on season nine is slated to commence in January, with ITV eyeing a 2015 premiere.
Crated by Anthony Horowitz, Foyle's War originally followed Detective Chief Superintendent Foyle, who investigated criminals taking advantage of the circumstances in the UK during World War Two. The show's eighth season saw a slight re-tooling with Foyle, now a senior intelligence officer, focusing his attention on the world of espionage as he gathers secret intelligence in support of Britain's security, defence and the Government's foreign and economic policies. In season nine, Foyle continues in his role as a Senior Intelligence Officer for MI5, finding himself immersed in the dangerous world of espionage at a time in our country's history when political and foreign governmental relationships were delicately balanced. The drama series is produced for ITV and Acorn Productions by Eleventh Hour Films & stars Michael Kitchen and Honeysuckle Weeks. Stuart Orme and Andy Hay are on-board to direct season nine.
"We are delighted to see the return of Foyle's War to ITV," said ITV's Head of Drama Series Jane Hudson, who recommissioned the series alongside Director of Drama Steve November. "Anthony Horowitz has written three outstanding episodes and the audience are in for a real treat. This series also gives us the chance to take the shoot to one of the jewels of the North West, Liverpool."
Executive Producer Jill Green commented: "Anthony's masterful storytelling and fascinating untold stories combined with a compelling performance from Michael Kitchen, will guarantee another gripping series."
While Hilary Strong, Managing Director of Acorn Productions, added: "It is the combination of great writing, exceptional acting and an extraordinary eye for detail that makes Foyle's War one of Acorn's most respected properties. We are thrilled to be working again with Eleventh Hour Films and ITV following the success of the last series, which continues to sell successfully around the world."

The lockdown may be over, but the pandemic is not
An immunology graduate student reviews the need to be more cautious than ever
By Christina Ditlof
"Despite the restrictions easing, this is a time to be more cautious," writes Christina Ditlof. REBECA MOYA/THE VARSITY
During the university lockdown caused by the pandemic, an initiative to promote the spread of pertinent information regarding COVID-19 was started by immunology students at UTSG. Graduate students in the Department of Immunology created educational pamphlets on important topics regarding COVID-19, including disease pathogenesis, current therapies, and the process of vaccine development.
As a current student in the Master of Science in Applied Immunology program, I was motivated to get involved and helped contribute to the creation of the vaccine development infosheet. The rationale behind this initiative was to generate scientifically accurate pamphlets that members of the general public can easily access in order to educate themselves and mitigate the spread of misleading information.
Remaining vigilant, maintaining hope
As of late July, Ontario had entered Stage 3, allowing businesses and services to reopen to promote the long-term restart and recovery of the economy. Although this provides a return to normalcy, it certainly does not mean the pandemic is over. Therefore, the information contained in the pamphlets continues to be valuable.
Despite the restrictions easing, this is a time to be more cautious, not more lenient. Currently, progress toward developing a safe and effective vaccine is still ongoing. It is imperative that the public remains vigilant in performing safety precautions to ensure their well-being and that of others.
It may be perceived that this gradual reopening signifies that the pandemic is no longer a threat of the same magnitude as it was earlier in the year, but COVID-19 is still very much a public health risk. This is reflected in the number of reported cases. According to Public Health Ontario there were more than 850 new cases in Ontario in the last week of August. Outbreaks are still occurring.
After the August long weekend, there was an outbreak at the Deerhurst Resort in Muskoka due to individuals reportedly not following physical distancing and social bubble guidelines. The Simcoe-Muskoka District Health Unit had entered Stage 3 a month earlier on July 17.
However, remaining cautious does not mean we should not be hopeful. Clinical trials are underway to generate a safe and efficacious vaccine, but it is important to acknowledge that this process takes time. Vaccine development occurs in several stages, including research of the virus, pre-clinical experimentation in animal models, and human clinical trial phases that test the safety and efficacy of the vaccine.
The pharmaceutical company AstraZeneca and Oxford University recently tested a vaccine candidate called ChAdOx1 nCoV-19, which has demonstrated safety in humans and an ability to generate neutralizing antibodies against SARS-CoV-2, which is the virus that causes COVID-19. ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 is undergoing phase three of clinical trials.
The information problem
During the 2016 outbreak of the Zika virus, a study found an increased usage of Twitter, Google search engine, Google News, YouTube, and Wikipedia pages to acquire Zika-related content. Although social media platforms and search engines allow for the spread of information in a timely manner, they can also be harmful due to the amount of false information being spread by unqualified users.
This is problematic as accurate information is often drowned out by misleading information. Additionally, certain users might see this information and be confused as to what is factual and what is not.
During the early stages of COVID-19, World Health Organization Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus referred to the spread of false and misleading COVID-19 information as an "infodemic." He expressed that, like a virus, false information spreads rapidly and should be considered dangerous. Therefore, controlling the spread of misinformation on social media and online platforms is vital to ensure the public is receiving accurate knowledge.
It is understandably hard for platforms to manage information due to the number of social media users. Thus, the responsibility is put heavily on the internet user to ensure that they are accessing credible sources to acquire information. Accessibility to accurate information can be promoted by providing easy-to-read online documents and interesting graphics created by the government, academic institutions, and scientists.
Although vaccine development is underway, it is still important that we follow public health guidelines, stay informed via accurate sources, and take preventive measures to avoid a potential second wave of the virus.

Fortum takes part in the first electric airplane project in Finland
Posted on 20, June 2018 by EuropaWire PR Editors | This entry was posted in Aviation & Aerospace, Electronics & Machinery, Finland, Technology, Transportation & Logistics and tagged electric airplane, Finland, Fortum, Heli Antila, Helsinki Electric Airplane Association, Janne Vasama, Pipistrel Alpha Electro, Tapio Poutiainen. Bookmark the permalink.
ESPOO, 20-Jun-2018 — /EuropaWire/ — Fortum is participating in the Helsinki Electric Airplane Association's project that is testing an electrically-powered airplane. The first serial produced electric airplane purchased in Finland, the Pipistrel Alpha Electro, is scheduled to take its maiden flight in Finland on 31 July 2018 at 10 a.m. at the Helsinki-Malmi Airport.
"We believe that the electrification of transportation is one of the most effective ways to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. We have been a pioneer in the development and expansion of the charging infrastructure for electric vehicles in the Nordic countries. Now we want to apply the experience we've gained about the EV charging infrastructure in the development of the rapidly evolving electric aviation," says Heli Antila, Chief Technology Officer, Fortum.
The use of electricity in aviation reduces emissions into the atmosphere and noise around airports. The solution is to use fully electric motors in small airplanes and hybrid technology in bigger passenger airplanes.
"By participating in this first electric airplane project in Finland, we will gain valuable knowledge about the charging of electric airplane batteries, battery life and power consumption during the different phases of flying. We can apply this information in the development and building of the aviation infrastructure," says Project Manager Tapio Poutiainen from Fortum.
In addition to collecting research data, the Pipistrel Alpha Electro electric airplane will be used diversely in pilot training.
"Because an electric airplane is cheaper to use compared to conventional airplanes, it enables more people to enrol in flight school – those who are enthusiasts or those who are dreaming of a piloting career. Based on some estimates, the use of an electric airplane in flight school could decrease the cost of the training by up to one third," says Janne Vasama from the Helsinki Electric Airplane Association.

New Female Calf in J-Pod Brings Hope to the Southern Resident Orca Population
by Jenna Deedy 5 days ago in wild animals
The calf, who is known as J56, brings hope to the troubled Southern Resident orca population following last summer's tragic setbacks involving members of J-pod.
J56 and her mother Tsuchi in the Salish Sea over the weekend. Photo by the Center for Whale Research.
In May, researchers based at the Center for Whale Research sighted a newborn calf off the coast of Tofino, Washington. At the time, the calf, who was later determined to be a healthy female, was seen swimming with two females. One was named Tsuchi, who is also known as "J31", and another was named Eclipse, who was also known as "J41". At first, the researchers were not really sure which of these two female whales was the calf's mother, but after a second sighting of the calf that occurred two months later, the researchers were able to determine that the calf was in fact, the daughter of Tsuchi. In fact, her May 24th birth helped bring the population's numbers up to around 76 orcas.
Researchers were able to determine her gender after a series of photographs of the calf with her pod were taken near Pile Point in the San Juan Islands over the weekend. In the photos, the calf can be seen briefly breaching on the water's surface to reveal her undersides while her mother swam around her and the other animals who were present with them. In a statement, the Center for Whale Research declared J56's birth as a very "welcoming addition" to the endangered Southern Resident orca population which so much news about the whales dying from starvation.
Before J56 was born, there were thought to have only been 75 Southern Resident orcas. This is because the majority of the remaining animals were male, which meant that every new female that was born into the population had a potential to one day contribute new calves in hopes to increase their numbers. J56 is also believed to have been Tsuchi's first successful birth in the past decade since she is thought to have suffered a miscarriage in January 2016. Experts believe that in order to have the population to be maintained, there would have to be about two, or three births a year.
About a year ago, researchers began to note that orca populations around the world were struggling from the effects of lack of food source, pollution, and climate change. However, it turned out that it was the breeding females (between the ages of 6-45 years of age) who appeared to be struggling the most. The long gestation period of around 15-18 months and a two-year nursing period comes at a huge cost to both orca mothers and their calves.
The Southern Resident population continues to struggle as the result of habitat destruction by the building of dams, lack of food sources, pollution and the effects of vessel noise. In addition, the lack of salmon runs has forced the mammals to look for their primary food source elsewhere in the Pacific Northwestern coast. As a result, pregnant whales are unable to carry their pregnancies to term with 70 percent of those pregnancies failing.
Recently, the orcas were absent from the Puget Sound region as a result of the lack of Chinook salmon they rely on for their survival. Some scientists have called for the breaching of dams in order to increase salmon runs to help the orca population out to ensure that they would be able to have enough fish to feed on.
It should also be noted that two members of this particular population were not sighted during the two days that the pods were present in the Salish Sea. J-pod Matriarch, Princess Angeline, also known as "J17", and Scoter, who is also known as "K25", were not sighted at all. They were both last sighted around the end of 2018 and are both feared to have died.

"Whoa! I failed that as an undergrad, and so I went into physics instead.
While I found humor in this, I know that many natural scientists look down on the social sciences.

We asked our colleagues to reply to this question: How can we break the bias to support women in the built environment sector?
Happy International Women's Day to all the strong women around the world. Here at Bennetts Associates, we aim to support women in breaking through biases in the workplace and in the built environment sector. In celebration of this year's theme #BreakTheBias, we asked our colleagues to reply to this question:
How can we break the bias to support women in the built environment sector?
Read the answers below:
I believe the first step is to recognise the day-to-day challenges faced by women in the built environment sector. Generally, I feel there is a lack of encouragement from a young age for women to pursue a career in the industry, with many job advertisements targeted to the male audience. To break this bias, we urgently need to remove this intimidating stereotype and openly encourage women to take up careers in the sector and within professions such as architecture.
- Samir Masad
We need to work towards having a 50/50 ratio of females to males at a director level. The strongest way to combat bias would be to include more women at the highest decision-making levels, therefore setting an example and encouraging other women.
- Rebecca Sheead
The whole construction industry needs to look at how it engages with and supports youngsters to have a career in the industry, particularly in the building trade where male dominated sites are often unwelcoming for women. Unfortunately sites can still be places where gender bias can be prevalent – though thankfully it has improved massively in recent years. Educating children about how the construction industry is changing, with technological advances to create a more diverse range of opportunities and roles.
Offering different paths into architecture, engineering and the industry through apprenticeships could also break down the barriers to those put off or unable to afford university. Women generally have few senior role models in architectural studios – practices need to encourage and nurture their staff, offer compelling reasons why the practice is the place women in the profession are supported, nurtured, with genuine progress in your career and without having to choose between having a family (should you wish to) or a career.
- Jonathan Spratt
Whilst the number of women who are applying for architectural degrees is increasing, there remains a shortfall in the number of women becoming registered architects, this is nowhere near equal to the number of male registrations. I believe this is partly down to the intimidation of a deep-rooted male dominated industry, where women will feel they will not have equal access to opportunities. I feel there is certainly a lack of female role-models within architecture, this is something I noticed during my education where almost all recommended precedents were designed by men.
I see great importance in architectural practices encouraging greater equity within the workplace, this will allow women to find practices which will support them and their development appropriately.
- Emily Petty
There are so many things that need to be done collectively to break the cycle of bias not least acknowledging it exists! We need to be more open and honest with each other. Only then can we become more comfortable talking about issues and calling them out when you see them to help break historical behaviours that have existed within the construction industry.
- Alastair Bogle
To stub the outdated perception of the industry that many still have – an off-putting image of a male-dominated, macho environment focused largely on digging holes and pouring concrete. This can understandably dissuade young women and also young men, from considering studying construction-relevant subjects, or taking up apprenticeships. Educating young children about career options and encouraging interests in science, technology, maths and engineering, a responsibility not just down to teachers but everyone.
- Ying Conway
So much design is based around the assumption that the 'typical, median man' is the same thing as the 'typical, median person'.
Most drugs are trialled on men then only extended to women if successful – missing out on drugs that may only work well in women. Car crash dummies are generally modelled on the typical man - so car safety features are better at protecting men. In MEP design air, temperature calculations are often based on the comfort of the typical man - without consideration that this isn't the same for women. We as designers have a duty to challenge the assumptions that we and those around us have taken for granted – and where we find bias take action!
- Oliver Boaler
As a parent, I've become very aware of how gender stereotypes are reinforced from a young age in children's books and TV – possibly even more so now than when I was a child. We need to address the way children view people who work in the built environment; encouraging girls to look at architecture and construction as a viable and attractive career opportunity and boys to view this as the norm.
- Alison Darvill
We have a collective responsibility to celebrate women's achievements, raise awareness against bias and to take action for equality - implementing effective ways to support and retain women in the workplace is key to this. This can continue to be addressed in our industry through the creation of opportunities, recognition of achievements, support for professional development at all stages (including around career breaks) and setting out visible career paths for women through to senior positions.
- James Allison
As Schools Outreach Co-ordinator for Central Scotland Women in Property, I know we need to increase opportunity and information about careers in property and construction for all young people, not just girls. Women in Property have split our schools outreach into two main areas of effort. Firstly, our own Central Scotland schools outreach programme, where we go into secondary schools to run our own eight week multi-disciplinary programme with pupils in S2 (aged about 13).
Critically this forms part of the maths curriculum before young people make their subject choices for S3. Secondly, encouraging our members to step up and become ambassadors for young people within their organisations. The more information, experience and role models we provide for young people the more likely we are to change the demographic of the built environment sector.

Daydreaming about the beach isn't so rare these days, with freezing temperature and bouts of snow. Fortunately, there are plenty of coastal areas we can look forward to exploring as soon as the weather warms up again. One prime example is a little-known park in Norfolk, Virginia that happens to be right on the beach. Sarah Constant Beach Park may be modest in size but will provide you with a full dose of sand and salty air.
Sarah Constant Beach Park is a hidden gem of a park located along the coast of Virginia. It's named for the Flagship Sarah Constant, which along with the Godspeed and the Discovery, landed at this point in 1607.
Although the park is conveniently located near Norfolk, you'll feel thousands of miles away from it all as soon as you spot the gorgeous shoreline and expanse of the Chesapeake Bay.
The park is known for being relatively uncrowded and also makes a great spot for hunting sea shells.
And while the water is certainly a draw to this park, perhaps the most magical feature of all is the mini forest of climbing trees.
If you're feeling adventurous, you can perch on one of the low branches and enjoy a gorgeous view of the water.
So whether you're in need of some serious salt and sand therapy, or simply curious to discover a new area of Virginia's enchanting coast, your trip to Sarah Constant Beach Park will not disappoint.
Sarah Constant Beach Park is located at 300 W Ocean View Ave, Norfolk, VA 23510. Have you visited this hidden gem of a park before? We'd love to hear all about it! For related content, be sure to check out This Amazing Hike To A Secluded Beach In Virginia.

Dr. Jeannie Haggerty named 2018 CFPC Family Medicine Researcher of the Year
By Frédérique Mazerolle, Department of Family Medicine
We wish to congratulate Dr. Jeannie Haggerty, recipient of the 2018 Family Medicine Researcher of the Year Award from the College of Family Physicians of Canada (CFPC).
The Family Medicine Researcher of the Year Award recognizes a CFPC member who has made original and crucial contributions to research and knowledge building in family medicine in Canada. The work may encompass any aspect of primary care research, from clinical to health services to medical education. This award honours a researcher who has been a pivotal force in the definition, development and dissemination of concepts central to the discipline of family medicine.
Dr. Jeannie Haggerty has been with the McGill Department of Family Medicine as a full professor since 2010. For the last two years, she has been the interim Scientific Director of the St. Mary's Research Centre, as well as the Scientific Director of the McGill Primary Care Practice-Based Research Network (PBRN).
Holder of the first McGill Chair in Family and Community Medicine Research, based at St. Mary's Hospital Centre, for more than eight years, her domain of research englobes the factors related to accessibility and quality of primary care, particularly the impact of health system policies and reforms.
After finishing her Master's degree in Epidemiology and Biostatistics at McGill, Dr. Haggerty's entry to the world of family medicine was facilitated through her participation in the establishment of a new residency program in Family and Community Medicine in Costa Rica, in partnership with the Department of Family Medicine. She says that the exposure to the clinical realities of family medicine was influential throughout her career – her doctoral work focused on the relationship between the performance on medical licensing examinations and subsequent family practice (as determined by medical billings) from three cohorts of family physician graduates.
Dr. Haggerty's most seminal work is a cross-disciplinary definition of continuity of care. "My interest in continuity of care coincided with this being identified as a priority for health services research in Canada," she explains. "However, it was also obvious from initial project funding rounds that there was no common understanding of continuity of care." The term meant different things in different health disciplines, and Haggerty and colleagues reviewed more than 500 articles to propose a definition and typology that is now widely used.
At the beginning of the 2000's, massive investments to renew primary care exposed a need for more clarity around concrete evaluation measures, leading Dr. Haggerty to focus on valid and precise measurement of the patient perspective. This shift in the research culture has been decisive for Dr. Haggerty, as it "became [her] mission to try to portray the patient or public voice in a robust and meaningful way."
She is also the founding director of Quebec Knowledge Network in Primary Health Care, Réseau de connaissance en soins intégrés de première ligne du Québec (Réseau-1 QC), whose purpose is to embed a collaborative culture in research and integrated front-line care and services in Quebec, for the production and application of knowledge to improve practices for the benefit of patients.
"I want to acknowledge the community of primary care clinicians and researchers who made a place for me to learn about family medicine and health service delivery from the inside,",she explains. "The primary care research community in North America survives and thrives as a gift economy – generous sharing of ideas, often leading to deep friendships as well as collaborations. I must acknowledge the talent, tenacity and passion of my research assistants and staff; many of whom have now worked with me for many years."
It is with great pride that we congratulate Dr. Haggerty for her tireless work and dedication to research in primary care.

Motion for cloture
May 23, 2005, midnight | By Armin Rosen | 15 years, 8 months ago
The need for compromise on judicial filibusters
I think our Senators need to be reminded of just how little the debate over the "nuclear option" matters. The filibustering of judicial nominees is not the gross abuse of power that the Republicans cast it as, nor is its banning a threat to the very pillars of democracy as Democrats have maintained. Aside from extreme partisanship there are few conflicting or overarching principles in play, since this is, fundamentally, a disagreement on procedure.
But to be fair, the only thing more absurd than the crippling of the legislative branch of our government by a disagreement on a matter of procedure is the crippling of the legislative branch of our government by a partisan filibuster of qualified judges who have received favorable ratings from the nonpartisan American Bar Association.
However, this debate isn't totally uninteresting. There's an intriguing philosophical undercurrent here: the clash between the letter of the law and the spirit of the law. Or, in plainer terms, the disagreement between what the law says and what the law actually means.
Republicans are arguing that the letter of the law, in this case Article 1, Section 5 of the United States Constitution, allows for each house of congress to "determine the rules of its proceedings," and that that law acts as an allowance for needed institutional change. They have a point here. Since the filibuster of presidential judicial nominees is practically unprecedented, the Democratic effort is little more than obstructionism for the sake of obstructionism. And since this obstruction will come at the expense of both taxpayer dollars and the consideration of more pressing and far-reaching matters like healthcare and Social Security, it is in everybody's interest to have it removed. One wonders if such prudence was behind then-Senate Majority Leader Robert Byrd's (a Democrat) decrease of the cloture requirement from a 2/3rds to 3/5ths majority during the 1970s.
And the Republicans are also arguing that the filibuster of judicial nominees violates the letter of the Senate's constitutional requirement (Article 2 section 2 for the curious) to provide "Advice and Consent" to the president through the rejection or confirmation of presidential nominees. A filibuster has a rather simple short-term goal: the prevention of an unfavorable vote. And the absence of a vote, some would argue, precludes consent without representing a distinct lack of consent. Now I'm no constitutional scholar, but at this point I think it's debatable whether or not the Senate's duty of Advice and Consent is really being exercised.
The Democrats, in contrast, are arguing that the spirit of the Constitution is one of equity; that it recognizes and establishes certain minority rights that are essential to effective representative government, and that, if eliminated, would represent a dangerous and undue arrogation of power by the majority. To quote Montana Senator Max Baucus, "this is how democracy ends."
Let's not get carried away, Senator Baucus. This is a miniscule procedural point concerning an almost unprecedented set of circumstances. Democracy will be in great shape irrespective of the upkeep of the judicial filibuster, the elimination of which would, incidentally, expedite judicial nominations favorable to Democrats as well as Republicans.
So what does the sprit-letter conflict mean in this case, exactly? A Democratic victory would solidify the viability of the judicial filibuster, and, in the process, determine that a formal vote is unnecessary for Advice and Consent. The looming threat of a filibuster would dissuade future chief executives from making controversial judicial nominations. It might also cause them to nominate candidates whose views are either dead center or to a greater or lesser degree in line with that of the minority, since the minority would decide whether or not a vote takes place — in a way its own "nuclear option."
Interestingly, a Republican victory would have fewer long-term implications. It would certainly be a boon for the Executive Branch. But as it is, the executive gets its way more often than not. As Democratic Senator Ben Nelson (NE) pointed out during floor debate, the Senate has already confirmed over 200 judicial nominees during Bush's presidency.
And as Republican Senator Rick Santorum (PA) noted, the majority party usually kills unqualified nominees in committee anyway. As it is, the absence or presence of the judicial filibuster matters under only very limited circumstances.
Which convinces me of the pointlessness of this controversy. Were our economy solid, our tax code reformed, our foreign policy goals met and Social Security rescued I'd be more than amenable to a protracted and microcosmic debate on the letter and spirit of Senatorial procedure. But they aren't, and I'm not.
So if you're reading this, Senators Frist and Reid: it's time for a compromise. The so called "six and six" compromise, whereby six moderate Republicans will vote against the "nuclear option" in exchange for six moderate Democrats voting for cloture, isn't a terrible one. Another possible, though I believe undesirable, compromise would be for the Democrats to agree not to filibuster the present candidates in exchange for the possibility of filibustering a Supreme Court nominee. Both compromises satisfy Advice and Consent. And both could help the Senate avoid one of the most embarrassing and most frivolous debates in its recent history.

Q: iPhone in-app purchase screen shot When posting an in-app purchase with Apple they ask for a screenshot to be included before going to review.
What kind of screenshots do they want?
My in-app purchase unlocks some of the lite version, I'm not sure what Apple wants to see here.

A: According to Apple:

Screenshots requirements are outlined below: iOS requires at least 640
x 920 pixels.

I'm working on this right now (end of July 2020) and only exact resolution of 640x920 uploads successfully. I tried higher resolutions and 640xH(H>920) without success.

A: I provided a screenshot of the Confirm Your In-App Purchase dialog that StoreKit presents when purchasing each product, and everything was approved by Apple the first time. I didn't show screenshots of how the app changed before & after the IAP, so it doesn't seem as though this is required.
Here's one of the screenshots I used:

A: I have provided an image of the dialog I present to the user when I ask them to confirm the purchase...and it was accepted

A: This screenshot should show situation when in-app purchase will be activated, in your case it can be screen of application without 'lite version' restriction (or directly after purchase).

A: Quoted directly from Apple's In App Purchase Guidelines

For review purposes only. Your In App Purchase screenshot will not display on the App Store or on the iPhone device store. Once you have tested your In App Purchase and are ready to sign off, upload a screenshot of your In App Purchase in this section. The screenshot should be a clear picture of your In App Purchase in action and must be 320 x 480, 480 x 320, 320 x 460, or 480 x 300 pixels.

Cheers.
UPDATE
The correct size is now 640 x 920. The other sizes are no longer accepted.

A: Sorry to answer such an old question, but this aspect hasn't been addressed: I have always felt the "screen shot of your in-app purchase" language was vague. I've learned in creating 400+ IAPs that it doesn't matter what the screen shot is, as long as it is the right size. I have submitted 10+ IAPs at the same time with the same screen shot that is just a random screen shot of my app that has nothing to do with the IAPs at all, and all have been approved.

A: The screenshot has now (February 9 2017) to be at least 640x920.

A: Go to the screen where you prompt the users for in-app purchase. Take screen shot and upload. It can be of real device or on simulator.

A:
I uploaded this image with size 640 x 1136 and that success.  Mybe you can try this ..

A: Screenshots requirements are outlined below:
A screenshot of the in-app purchase that represents the item being sold.
iOS requires at least 640 x 920 pixels.
tvOS requires 1920 x1080 pixels.
macOS requires 1280 x 800 pixels.
Here's more about it:
https://help.apple.com/app-store-connect/#/dev84b80958f

A: Just provide the screenshot of the dialogue . no matter is it from sandbox or production.
Screenshot sample for you -

A: iOS 15 / Swift 5+ LATEST UPDATE

iOS requires at least 640 x 920 pixels.
tvOS requires 1920 x1080 pixels.
macOS requires 1280 x 800 pixels.

One To Watch: Jae'Sean Tate, Ohio State
Tenth in a series identifying 14 college basketball players who will have a breakout season–one on each Big Ten team.
In college basketball, it's rare for the national leaders in rebounding to simply be the tallest players. Most of the time, it comes down to effort. That's why undersized guys like Andre Roberson always end up near the top of the pack. Jae'Sean Tate is another one of those guys. A tenacious rebounder, Tate spent most of his freshman campaign in the shadow of D'Angelo Russell (as did the rest of the Buckeyes). Now that Russell is headed to the NBA lottery, Tate has the opportunity to really shine.
For a forward who spends most of his time around the basket, Tate is very undersized at 6'4". But based on his incredible effort and athletic ability, he is not at a disadvantage going up against much taller opponents. Only five players in the conference grabbed a higher percentage of offensive rebounds than Tate's 10.5. It's worth mentioning that none of those other players have the versatility to play on the perimeter and in the paint, as Tate does. Tate's aggressiveness on the glass leads to a lot of easy buckets and helped him shoot 63.1 percent on two-point field goals as a freshman.
Not only is Tate a fantastic rebounder, but he is also a shut-down defender. He has the strength and length to guard the post, as well as the quickness to guard perimeter players. Even while dealing with some of the best players in the Big Ten, Tate posted a defensive rating of 93.9. With a year of experience under his belt, expect Tate to lead the Big Ten in that category.
Tate has a reliable range out to about 16-17 feet, but that distance needs to improve. If Tate can become just a 30 percent shooter from a long distance, it will open up the floor so much, both for him and for the rest of the Buckeyes' offense. Assuming Tate wants his minutes to go up (he played a little over one-half per game as a freshman), he'll improve his shooting tremendously and model his game more and more after Charles Barkley.
The best thing about Tate is his constant desire for improvement. He's never satisfied with where he's at, always trying to get better and better. He wants to control the glass. He wants to guard the best player on the other team. And above all, Tate wants to win. Ohio State's roster is set up to help him do just that. Postgraduate stud JaQuan Lyle and four 4-star prospects join the Buckeyes, who should also see marked improvements from the likes of Marc Loving and Keita Bates-Diop. With a more balanced roster than last year's Russell-led squad, the Buckeyes will be a contender for the Big Ten crown.

Securing Schools: What can Talius do?
Security is one of the biggest concerns when it comes to any organization or institution. However, arguably, it is more important in schools than in other institutions.
The United States has seen a massive increase in school shootings in the past few years. In 2018 alone, nearly 113 people were killed or injured as a result of school shootings. Throughout that year there were over 23 school shooting incidents where someone was either shot or killed. At an average of 180 school days, this means that a school shooting would have occurred after every eight school days. This is an alarming statistic.
Moreover, as schools are often subject to vandalism and various other threats, repairs for the aftermath of these attacks can be quite costly in more than one way. But you can, in fact, reduce these damages greatly, and here is how Talius can help you.
Our Many Safety Measures
Safety precautions in various institutions in countries, like Canada, often boil down to security cameras and panic buttons. Although these security measures help deter acts of violence and crime in their own way, they still leave room for errors and they do not stop all acts of violence from occurring.
On the other hand, our vandal panels and rollshutters ensure that your premises are safe from any vandalism or harm. Unlike most security measures that record or alert authorities during these acts, our security measures can act as deterrents or can even protect students from certain acts of violence.
Protection from Vandalism
Schools are often subject to various forms of vandalism. From rocks being thrown at windows, to graffiti and paint sprayed on the walls and windows, schools are no stranger to acts of vandalism. That being said, our roll shutters come with a specialized coating that makes the process of removing paint, dust, or any other stains much simpler.
One of the many costs that schools often have to bear is the cost of cleaning graffiti. Cleaning off graffiti can be very expensive at times. According to a report by the Center for Problem-oriented Policing, nearly $12 billion dollars are spent every year cleaning graffiti in the United States. Schools are especially targeted when it comes to graffiti, whether it is because of students themselves or gang members.
Gang-related graffiti is at an all-time high in cities, like Phoenix, and schools are suffering the most from it. With the help of our rollshutters, you will no longer have to worry about having to spend money or time on cleaning graffiti. We also offer standard colors, like white, silver, brown, and beige, or you can choose from over 1800 different custom color options, which guarantees that our shutters blend seamlessly into the chosen color scheme of your school.
Talius roll shutters are incredibly durable as they are made of high-quality aluminum and stainless steel. These roll shutters also provide insulation, thanks to their hard resin foam core. Moreover, during working hours our roll shutters roll up into a very compact panel box that no longer obstructs your view. If you happen to invest in motorized roll shutters, you can put away these large metal plates with just a push of a button. How convenient!
The Appearance of a Rollshutter
Often times functionality is not the only thing that people look for when it comes to security, especially if it will be visible to people. Rest assured our roll shutters will blend perfectly with your buildings and will match their aesthetic.
We provide roll shutters in various different colors so that you can customize them, according to your liking. Furthermore, the appearances of roll shutters can often seem too bleak and dark, which can lower the morale of students and can turn away visitors. But with the varied color choices at your disposal, these rollshutters will never have to look bleak again.
Their Functionality and Purpose
Rollshutters allow you to protect your students from vandalism or intruders, which is a lot easier with a slew of incredible functions that we provide. We also offer rollshutters with remotes, sun sensors, and timers, so you can have more control over them. You can also seamlessly integrate our rollshutters into your existing lockdown and security systems.
Our rollshutters not only offer protection from intruders and vandals, but they also offer protection from inclement weather. Thanks to the insulated resin foam core in our rollshutters, you can save big on electricity bills.
Seeing how the insulated roll shutter greatly reduces the heat or cold wind from entering your premises, you can very easily reduce the need for any other type of cooling or heating device.
Our Vandal Panels
If you wish to get most of the benefits of a good rollshutter, but without the massive sheets of metal completely blocking off the light, then you can always opt for our vandal panels.
Talius vandal panels are stationary panels made from durable aluminum, which provides immense longevity. However, this durability does not come at the cost of versatility, as these vandal panels are arguably much more functional than their heavier metal counterparts.
Thanks to their unique design, Talius panels are able to protect your glass windows and doors from damage, without obstructing natural light. This is especially great for the interior of your premises where roll shutters cannot go, as they are almost as durable and do not allow the glass to shatter even if the glass breaks.
This makes it a great option where you cannot install roll shutters, as it provides most of the roll shutters benefits in a more efficient way.
It also has graffiti-resistant properties that will not only save you time, but also money in the long run. These panels also come in a wide range of colors.
Talius roll shutters and vandal panels offer you top-of-the-line security along with functionality that will save you time and effort, and style that won't make your school feel like a prison yard.


Thesis #11: Generally speaking, cultural narratives (narrative mythologies) are on one level fictional, since they promise something (immortality) which they cannot demonstrably deliver; however, when taken on faith, they are also potentially true in that each provides some functional easing of anxiety in the face of actual and symbolic threats. Human individual and social life without such cultural narratives would be unbearable and impossible.
hesis 10 – This urge for symbolic immortality is a key source of human creativity and life-affirming energies; it is the underlying function of human cultures, and especially religions, to serve as venues through which people achieve and maintain a sense of participation in symbolic immortality.
The Gospel of Thomas found at that monastery speaks directly to our ecological crisis. It gives us the knowledge we will need as we face the challenges now confronting us.

Q: ... operator in function Sorry for the noob question. I've been immersed in Java for the past while and the book for this course doesn't cover C++.
I have to fill in a function to add keywords (of string type) to an Item object. the prototype of the function is as follows.
 void addKeywordsForItem(const Item* const item, int nKeywords, ...);

In Java ... returns the remainder of arguments as a String object and I'm guessing C++ does something similar but I don't know the name of ... so searching for it is rather difficult.
What is ... called and what does it do?

A:
What is ... called and what does it do?

There are multiple places where ... is used in C++. The context in which you are using it, it is called variadic arguments.
The standard header cstdarg provides a type and macros to help you extract specific arguments from variadic arguments.
Example code from http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/utility/variadic/va_start:
#include <iostream>
#include <cstdarg>

int add_nums(int count, ...)
{
    int result = 0;
    va_list args;
    va_start(args, count);
    for (int i = 0; i < count; ++i) {
        result += va_arg(args, int);
    }
    va_end(args);
    return result;
}

int main()
{
    std::cout << add_nums(4, 25, 25, 50, 50) << '\n';

Three Lives
Oliver Matuschek
A new paperback edition of the only biography in English of Stefan Zweig
Drawing on a great wealth of newly available sources, this definitive biography recounts the eventful life of a great writer spoilt by success-a life lived in the shadow of two world wars, and which ended tragically in a suicide pact.
Matuschek examines three major phases in the life of the world-famous Austrian author-his years of apprenticeship, his years of success as a professional working writer in Salzburg, and finally his years of exile in Britain, the USA and Brazil.
Including the sort of personal detail conspicuously absent from Zweig's memoir, and incorporating newly discovered documents, Matuschek's biography offers us a privileged view into the private world of the master of psychological insight.
'Oliver Matuschek's Zweig biography is a model of clarity and style'–Frankfurter Allgemeine
Oliver Matuschek is a German author, academic and museum curator. He worked at the Herzog Anton Ulrich Museum between 2000 and 2004 and helped curate the exhibition The Three Lives of Stefan Zweig at the Deutsches Historisches Museum, Berlin in 2008. He has also co-authored several documentaries and published numerous works on literary and historical themes, including I Know the Magic of Handwriting: a Catalogue and History of the Autograph Collection of Stefan Zweig.

Memories – From Moscow to the Black Sea


It's Friday morning and I'm sitting in the school office. I haven't been here in a while which is something that I'm SO thankful for.
Last year, I spent the majority of the year in the school and a huge portion of it, sitting in the office.
Judah has had a tough time with separation anxiety. It started in Kindergarten. Grade 1 was harder and Grade 2 was even worse. We've done lots of counselling and emotional "work" and this year has been a roller coaster of ups and downs.
One thing that I'm SO very thankful for is that there have been more ups than downs this year.
I get discouraged because this has been such a long process, and if I'm being honest, I just want things to be normal……whatever that is.
But, things are getting better and this is the first time that I've sat here in the office, in a long time.
We're all tired and ready for Spring Break and the down time.
But today, I'm SO thankful for the forward progress that we've made this school year.
Today, I am thankful for being brave enough to let my 16 year old, who just got his "L" in the last month, drive me to the Bottle Depot and back. We also went for a treat at DQ.


Students who successfully engage in self-regulated learning, are able to plan their own studying, monitoring their progress and make any necessary adjustments based upon the data and feedback they gather. In order to promote this type of independent learning, a recent introductory mechanics course was modified such that the homework and tests emphasized the planning, monitoring and adjusting of self-regulated learning. Students were able to choose many of their own out-of-class learning activities. Rather than collecting daily or weekly problem set solutions, assignments were mostly progress reports where students reported which activities they had attempted, self-assessment of their progress and plans for their next study session. Tests included wrappers where students were asked to reflect on their mistakes and plans for improvement. While many students only engaged superficially the independent aspects of the course, some did demonstrate evidence of self-regulation. Examples of student work will be presented.

This award is presented to those dedicated individuals who have volunteered their time, efforts and abilities to the Rye Little League in such an outstanding fashion as to be worthy of lasting recognition and gratitude. John Sexton was the first recipient and it was named after him - the John Sexton Volunteer Award. At that time, Mr. Sexton was honored for his 22 years of volunteer service. He has never had a child in the league, yet he gives his time so readily.
Congratulations to Shari Turner who won the John Sexton Volunteer Award in 2010!


On August 22, Telangana constable Sri Tudi Raju donated Rs 68,000, his one month's salary, to the Kerala government for the flood victims.
While tragedy has hit the residents of Karnataka, the people at a Madikeri relief camp found a reason to be happy. A five-year-old girl, Rashmi, celebrated her birthday with other flood victims at a relief camp.
On August 18, professional rock climber CM Praveen embarked on his most difficult adventure. Crossing 75 meter across a torrid stream on a rope line, Praveen brought two-months-old baby girl Shalini to safety. With the weather playing spoilsport, it became even more difficult for Praveen to fulfill his task.
Before hitting the black board and welcoming their students back to school, the teachers of a school in Kodagu took up mops to clean the school. Post the floods in Karnataka, schools are finally re-opening today. However, a number of school premises are full of slush and mud after the rain waters receded. Teachers and students alike are now taking small steps to getting back to school.
Hebbetakeri was a village with 400- odd residents. But that was before the rains wrecked havoc here. The incessant rains forced many to flee to relief camps seeking shelter. While many fled to relief camps, others moved to the safety of their relatives' homes. CA Ganapathi is literally the only man standing in this viallge. He continues to stay in his house, which is still habitable in the village.
Hameed Mouli has been working tireless over the last seven days. Mouli is among six notary advocates who offer free attestation and documentation service to the flood victims. Mouli starts his day at 4:30 am at Suntikoppa relief centre and he works till 1 am in the morning. The relief camp is the temporary home for around 400 flood victims.
Only eight out of 51 students managed to make it to the Boyikeri government higher primary school as it re-opened on Thursday. The school which is located in Haleri village is totally cut off from the rest of the district.
Flood-affected victims at the relief centres are seen practicing yoga.
Villagers in Haleri are crossing a local stream using a fallen tree. It may be a dangerous way to crossing the stream but residents currently have no other option.

It's taken awhile to decide how to finish up the Global Warming quilt. At 80" x 80", it's too large to be a wall quilt, so it's destined to be used on a bed. Lots of folks tell me they prefer square quilts, but I don't. A bed is rectangular, so for a quilt to cover it properly, it needs to be rectangular too...right? This is one area where I think we should do what suits our purposes instead of sticking to a size set by a chart found on the internet.
My grandmother's beautiful quilts are all too short on our beds; Gram didn't like the quilt to come up over the pillows. I do. But I also don't like the quilt dragging on the floor at the sides, so to make this one work, I am only adding borders to the top and bottom of the quilt.
Next was to decide what the border should be - plain? circles to echo the central one? stars for a sky? Hmmm...lots of options. I didn't want anything too cute, as this quilt will have a male owner. In the end, I decided on triangles, to complement the geometric squares and circles of the centre. They were cut from leftover fabrics used in the body of the quilt.
I sewed the triangles together in two long strips, and gave them a good spritzing with homemade starch. I also starched and pressed the quilt top well. You can't see it in this shot, but there is stay-stitching around the perimeter of the pieced top, 1/8" away from the edge. The stitching and the starching make a big difference in having a nice, smooth border seam.
The pressing is done with a hot, dry iron, and you can see how nicely the fabrics have joined - no puckers in the seams.
A lovely completed project from my "Free Motion Quilting For The Absolutely Terrified" workshop in Paradise, NS. This was stitched by Frances Veinot, who certainly added lots of artistic flair to her background. Way to go, Frances!

Linda is offering two different classes during this year's Nova Scotia Fibre Arts Festival, set to take place October 10-14, 2017. Registration for all classes (including mine!) is now open.


We recorded this song initially with live instruments and then went back and added some loops in order to create the rap verses. In this album, we experimented more with adding loops as the song writing progressed, rather than having them be an afterthought. I really love how the chorus kicks in and lifts the entire songs. This is one of my favourites on the album.

Terry Walsh: Kirandeep a good find..
KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Hockey Confederation (MHC) Thursday released men's and women's team lists for the Jakarta Asian Games, with Kirandeep Kaur stealing the limelight.
The 15-year-old was the only 'new face' in both the men's and women's teams who will be gunning for gold and bronze in Jakarta respectively.
MHC Technical Director Terry Walsh was all praise for the Form Three student.
"The rest of the players, men's and women's, are familiar faces with Kirandeep Kaur being the exciting new inclusion. I have watched her in training as well as matches, and I believe she has tremendous potential at such a young age," said the International Hockey Federation (FIH) Master Coach.
TimeSport had reported on Wednesday that Kirandeep Kaur will become the youngest hockey player in Malaysia to play in the Asian Games, thanks to visionary coach K. Dharmaraj.
And when asked his projection on what the men and women are capable of at the Asian Games?
"I expect both our teams to break new ground in the Games. The women should put up a good fight to qualify for the semi-finals and then chase for a medal, while the men should play in the finals," said the two-time Olympian Australian.
The men are in Group B with Pakistan, Bangladesh, Oman, Kazakhstan and Thailand while the women are in Group A with China, Japan, Hong Kong and Taiwan.
Yesterday, players from both teams received shoes sponsorship from Vik Network.
MEN -- S. Kumar (gk), Hairi Rahman (gk), Sukri Mutalib, Razie Rahim,
Syed Syafiq Syed Cholan, Azri Hassan, Faiz Helmi Jali, Nabil Fiqri,
Marhan Jalil, Meor Azuan Hassan, Fitri Saari, Joel Samuel van Huizen,
Amirol Aideed Arshad, Tengku Ahmad Tajuddin, Faizal Saari, Nik Aiman Nik Rozemi, Firhan Ashari, Shahril Saabah.
WOMEN -- Farah Ayuni Yahya, Mas Huzaimah Aziz, Siti Noor Amarina,
Juliani Din, Raja Norsharina, Nuraini Rashid, Fatin Shafika,
Fazilla Sylvester Silin, Wan Norfaiezah Saiuti, Surizan Awang Noh, Norazlin Sumantri, Hanis Nadia Onn, Nuraslinda Said, Nur Syafiqah Zain, Nur Amirah Shakirah, Nur Zafirah Aziz, Kirandeep Kaur, Noor Hasliza Ali.
Coach Dharmaraj admitted to hospital
KUALA LUMPUR: National women's coach K. Dharmaraj (pic) was admitted to a hospital on Wednesday for indigestion problems, but Malaysian Hockey Confederation (MHC) are not ready to push the panic button.
After returning from the Australian Tour, Dharmaraj had complained about his stomach becoming bloated after every meal.
He has undergone blood tests, ultra sound as well as many other tests: "The doctors have done many tests on me but my condition is still the same as they can't seem to find the cause. All the tests indicate nothing is wrong with me, but everytime I have a meal, I become bloated and come down with a fever," said Dharmaraj.
Subahan said: "I have received the latest news about Dharmaraj from team manager Lailin (Abu Hassan). Tests are still being done to find the cause of his discomfort, but the early indications are that he might recover in time for the Asian Games."
The women's squad will play their first Group A match against Hong Kong on Aug 19.
"The entire coaching staff as well as players are praying for Dharmaraj's speedy recovery. The girls' are really worried, as they are very attached to him and hope he will be in Jakarta to guide them.
"There are a few more tests to be done, and hopefully he recovers soon," said Lailin.

The Latest: Mayor whose exit sought alleges 'witch hunt'
PUBLISHED: September 29, 2016 at 3:11 pm | UPDATED: April 20, 2018 at 6:31 am
YORK, Pa. (AP) — The Latest on the small-town Pennsylvania mayor who is being asked to resign over racist pictures on his Facebook page (all times local):
A small-town Pennsylvania mayor who's being asked to resign over racist pictures on his Facebook page says he's the victim of a "witch hunt."
Pictures on West York Mayor Charles Wasko's Facebook page showed two apes with captions referring to President Barack Obama and his family. One image of a wagon full of orangutans refers to "moving day" at the White House.
Several members of the borough council want him to step down. In a brief phone interview with The Associated Press, Wasko said he would provide more details at a later date about his witch hunt claim and then hung up.
The York Daily Record said at one point Thursday, Wasko posted on his Facebook page that he refuses to be politically correct.
The mayor of a tiny central Pennsylvania town is being asked to resign over racist pictures on his Facebook page, including two depicting apes with captions referring to President Barack Obama and his family.
One image of a wagon full of orangutans refers to "moving day" at the White House.
Several West York borough council members say they want to see Mayor Charles Wasko leave office.
Wasko didn't respond to a Facebook message and wasn't answering his home telephone Thursday. Reached by the York Daily Record, he used a vulgar term to describe what's "going on up at the borough office."
Wasko isn't paid as mayor and votes only to break ties on the council. He also oversees the police department in the borough of 4,500, which is about 100 miles west of Philadelphia.

Q: When to use JSON[] instead of JSON? Say I'm inserting an array of JSON objects into Postgres, for example:
[{ s: 'hi', a: true, b: false }, { s: 'bye', a: false, b: true }]

I can either do:
create table test(a json);
insert into test values ('[{ "s": "hi", "a": true, "b": false }, { "s": "bye", "a": false, "b": true }]');

or
create table test2(a json[]);
insert into test2 values (array['{ "s": "hi", "a": true, "b": false }', '{ "s": "bye", "a": false, "b": true }']::json[]);

what are the advantages/disadvantages of either approach?

A: Do not ever mix the two.

*

*There is a small space and dereferencing overhead with jsonb.

*There is a large space overhead and a small deferencing overhead with ARRAY

*There is a larger overhead in space, and even larger overhead in dereferencing with JSON[] (detriments compound).

Not to mention, you'll have two sets of operators and it will be confusing as hell.
Also, don't use JSON unless you know when to use JSON. You almost always want JSONB. To the point that I wouldn't even worry about the corner cases.

Q: how to specify values on $this->fetch() cakephp 2.1 We all know that $content_for_layout is now deprecated in cakephp 2.1 and changed to $this->fetch('content');
wherever we put that fetch('content') it is where the contents of the view where the layout is tag will be viewed.
my question is for example I have a view navigation(), the contents of that view will be placed on $this->fetch('nav_view'), and for the view main_board() the contents will be on $this->fetch('main_board'),
and this two fetches will be outputted on the same layout. is it possible??

A: Somewhere in your view/element/helper:
$this->start('nav_view');
// render your 'nav_view' stuff here
echo $this->element('...');
$this->end();

Render the same as content:
// in layout
$this->fetch('nav_view');

Apparently, this is now documented in the cookbook, under Using view blocks.
