NO POINT GOING TO GHANA —–After first leg disaster
By Lamin Cham
After the 5-1 beating by Ghana's Black Maidens at the Independence Stadium on Saturday which effectively killed The Gambia's quest to reach another women's under-17 World Cup, there are calls for the team to stay in Banjul and the GFF to withdraw from the second leg.
Abdulai Mukarama scored four goals after Nina Norshie put Ghana ahead just two minutes into the game. Fatouma Sowe got the consolation goal for The Gambia.
Ghana will host The Gambia in the return leg encounter in a fortnight at the Cape Coast Stadium. The winner of the two-legged tie will face Djibouti in the next stage of the 2018 Fifa World Cup qualifiers for a place in the tournament to be staged in Uruguay from 13 November to 1 December 2018.
"However with Saturday's disastrous result, many are calling on the GFF to save much-needed cash and avoid pursuing a fleeting illusion. If pulling out of the second leg is much cheaper than going for it, I will advise the GFF to withdraw before Ghana spend anything on the second leg," said Alieu Sanneh, fan of Gambian football.
Another fan, Ismaila Jagne, said the gap between Ghana and The Gambia at this level is just too big. "We cannot make this one. I cannot see us scoring six goals without reply in Ghana. There is no point going to Ghana if that is possible, otherwise, any further hammering by Ghana will only soil our declining image in football," he said.

Q: MVC 4 Google Charts - View for Each Report? Looking for some advice in displaying reports with Google charts (for now table reports, but will go on to other types later)
Are people creating a view for each specific report?  Or is it better to re-use an existing view and dynamically create the table from it.
I've found some resources where the table columns are dynamically generated, but I am not quite sure how to check and specify the column to be a string or numeric data type.
If I create views for each report, I know ahead of time what the table structure will be and thus making it easier to create, but perhaps more of a nightmare to maintain down the road.
Any thoughts?

A: Depending on how often the columns/tables change, one of these will work for you.
Create 10 Views
If your data doesn't change too often, just create 10 different DataViews based on the 10 tables you want to create. Since they all use the same underlying data, any change to the original DataTable will automatically be reflected in all 10 tables, and the performance will be much quicker than creating 10 different tables.
If you change the views often, maintenance may be a hassle, so I would suggest a different approach.
Create a DataView Creation Function
You can create a function that will take an array of columns and create a DataView from those columns. This way you can change the views easily by changing the function call only, and will make your code look simpler. Depending on how you want to set the DataView (whether you use filtered rows and/or columns) the function will be slightly different, but this will allow you the most flexibility to change things while giving all the benefits of having 10 dataviews (updating based on changes to the datatable, etc.).
Automate the Whole Kit and Caboose
If you're going to go that far, you can just automate the entire process. Select the rows/columns you want from the DataTable, give a <div> name (or create a <div> automatically), then create the view and the new table chart drawing function. This will work great if your tables all behave the same (have the same events, options, etc.) as it is going to be of use far in to the future.
On the other side, it is more work than the above two to initially create.

Take a Stand with Some of Marvel's Mightiest Aboard a Disney Ship
by Danny Handke, Senior Creative Director, Walt Disney Imagineering
In my first post, I let you in on the fact that I'm a huge Star Wars fan. But what I didn't mention then is that I'm just as big a fan of Marvel. So when I say that I have a dream job – getting to design Disney experiences that bring these worlds to life – I absolutely mean it. I actually get paid to geek out!
You didn't hear it from me, but we're super close to revealing new details about the first Marvel cinematic dining experience, Worlds of Marvel, coming to the Disney Wish next summer. And as I wait patiently (just like you!) to be able to talk more about this incredible new space, I wanted to share a round-up of all the ways you can live out your own Super Hero adventures on board a Disney ship.
Marvel Day at Sea
This heroic day is returning to the high seas in early 2022 aboard the Disney Magic on select five-night cruises from Miami to the Bahamas and the Western Caribbean. Join a brave training session with some of Marvel's greatest, such as Spider-Man, Black Widow, Iron Man and Captain America, and enjoy an entire day filled with one-of-a-kind entertainment, a movie marathon, a costume celebration and more.
Marvel Super Hero Academy
Marvel Super Hero Academy is one of the most popular play areas for kids ages 3 to 12 on Disney ships. On the Disney Magic and Disney Wonder, children can wield the weaponry of their favorite Avengers at the top-secret command post of S.H.I.E.L.D. On the Disney Fantasy, they can master the mystic arts with Doctor Strange. And on the Disney Wish, young "recruits" will train to be the next generation of Super Heroes with the help of their own real-life heroes, like Spider-Man, Black Panther, Ant-Man and the Wasp.
At the high-tech Avengers headquarters coming to the Disney Wish, kids will begin by choosing a Super Hero suit from a selection of power sets based on Marvel heroes like Iron Man and Captain Marvel, and watching their choices become nanotech forms around mannequins in real-time. Then it will be time for "Avengers: Mission Training," a gesture-based technology game where they put their new suits and skills to the test as they virtually battle bad guys.
Worlds of Marvel
As I mentioned, Worlds of Marvel is the first-ever Marvel cinematic dining adventure, where guests will play an interactive role in an action-packed Avengers mission that unfolds around them. The experience will feature an original storyline starring fan-favorite Avengers and an infamous foe.
This upscale-restaurant-meets-technology-showcase will up the ante on the traditional "dinner and a show" concept. Outfitted with state-of-the-art Pym Tech and decked out in signature Stark-itecture style, the venue offers surprises in all shapes and sizes, from the tiniest design "Easter eggs" to the larger-than-life story that takes place.
True to its name, Worlds of Marvel will take families on a flavorful tour of the real and fictional settings of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with dishes inspired by legendary locales like African Wakanda, Eastern European Sokovia and the Avengers' home base of New York City.
I hope this epic line-up of Marvel experiences gets you as excited as me to cruise with Disney. Keep following along on the Disney Parks Blog to learn more about how the action will unfold around you when the Disney Wish sets sail summer 2022.

Naval Systems - DDGs and CGs Will Receive Comms Upgrades
By Edward J. Walsh
DRS Technologies Canada (a subsidiary of Leonardo DRS) will start deliveries this summer of four sets of the Integrated Voice Communications System (IVCS) for installation on board the Navy's first two Flight III Arleigh Burke (DDG-51)–class Aegis destroyers—DDGs-125 and -126—and for backfit on the USS Bulkeley (DDG-84) and USS McCampbell (DDG-85).
Edward Vlasblom, technical director for communications and network programs at the company, says they have provided shipboard communications systems to the Navy since the early 2000s. In 2009, the company won a contract for the shipboard comms system. In 2015, it won an indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract to supply its IVCS for the Aegis destroyers and cruisers out to 2020. The four sets are the Navy's latest order for the system, which is slated for new DDGs and for backfit for the DDGs and Ticonderoga (CG-47)-class cruisers through the Aegis modernization program.

The Kurds have often been dubbed as "geopolitically cursed" since the Treaty of Lausanne (1923) has initiated their scattering into four separate minorities across Türkiye, Syria, Iraq and Iran. In the past decade, however, the role played by Kurdish armed factions in their fight against the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) has significantly elevated their hopes for change. At a time when renewed Turkish military operations across the "post-ISIS" landscape are notably emboldening the latter's resurgence, this e-Note draws up a balance sheet regarding Kurdish achievements and challenges in "Rojava" (northeastern Syria).

Q: Is there a better way to refresh a join table than use delete followed by insert or differential update? When using MySQL, is there a better way to maintain a many-to-many join table than performing a DELETE on a primary key, followed by an INSERT with the current values?
For example if you have table A and B with table A_B containing two primary keys that represent the many-to-many relationship of records in A to B. Records in A_B need to be periodically updated to reflect new associations requiring some to be removed and others to be added.
I've read that in some cases its easier to calculate the differences and selectively DELETE unused pairs and only INSERT new ones, but if the data set is small that a DELETE on just the affected primary key, followed by repopulating it with an INSERT is preferable.
I can't help but think there has to be a better way than blowing it all way and filling it, or calculating the changes.

A: What you are really looking for is more of a "state" table, part of which will provide the function of a many-to-many join table.
What this state will do is keep track of all of the states of the relationships between table A and table B.  Compared to a simple many-to-many join table, you'll be able to keep historical data in this table, see who made the changed, and not delete any data at all.  You could also use this structure to make changes that will apply at a future date, with a little infrastructure.  You could also easily archive historical records at any time.
In the simplest implementation, you would have the following columns in your table A_B:
ID - Primary Key, could be anything.  The value isn't important
A_ID - The ID from table A
B_ID - The ID from table B
RELATIONSHIP - This is how the record from table A and table B are related.   It could be as simple as "true/false" or "listed/not-listed" or "associated/removed"
STATUS - "Current/Not-current"  or something similar.

All you will be doing with this table is inserting records, with a status of "Current" assuming you went with that value.  You would then have a a function triggered before insert.  The psuedo code would like something like:
beforeInsert (current_data) {
  find all rows where A_Id = current_data.id and b_id = current_data.id and status = 'Current'
  for each row, change status to 'Not-current'
}

So, what does this get you?
Your joins are (almost) exactly the same as a simple multi-join table
SELECT A.name, B.name
FROM A
JOIN A_B on A.ID = A_B.A_ID and A_B.status = 'Current' and A_B.relationship = 'listed'
JOIN B on A_B.B_ID = B.id

You get historical data
you can easily see who did what when, with some audit fields, as well as the state of the relationship on a specific date.
+-----+-----------+-----------+--------------+-------------+--------------+------+
| ID  |   ID_A    |   ID_B    | Relationship |   Status    | Entered_Date | User |
+-----+-----------+-----------+--------------+-------------+--------------+------+
|   1 | Company A | Product A | Listed       | Not-Current | 1-Nov        | Tom  |
|   2 | Company A | Product B | Listed       | Not-Current | 1-Nov        | Jack |
|   3 | Company B | Product A | Listed       | Current     | 1-Nov        | Tina |
|   4 | Company B | Product B | Not-Listed   | Current     | 1-Nov        | Tina |
|   5 | Company A | Product A | Not-Listed   | Current     | 2-Nov        | Tom  |
|   6 | Company A | Product B | Listed       | Current     | 2-Nov        | Tom  |
+-----+-----------+-----------+--------------+-------------+--------------+------+
Pre-enter data

Government launches 'roadmap' to tackle gender inequality
Experts welcome the government's plan to empower women in their careers and financially but warn of challenges
The UK government has published a report laying out plans to tackle gender inequality and low pay among women.
The Gender Equality At Every Stage: A Roadmap For Change report, published yesterday (3 July), sets out a 'roadmap' to help women financially empower themselves at each stage of their lives, from their education through to their careers and retirement.
Women and equalities minister Penny Mordaunt said it would "define and guide" how to tackle the barriers women face today.
In the foreword, Mordaunt said that, while women in the UK are more likely to achieve higher qualifications than men, they typically earn less.
"They are more likely to take on unpaid work, three times as likely to be working part time and likely to save less into their private pensions," she said.
"It's clear that we as government need to act, following through on our commitment to ensure everyone in this country can reach their true potential. Business as usual isn't going to cut it."
Speaking to BBC Radio 4, Mordaunt said a consultation on sexual harassment in the workplace would also be launched next week. This will include proposals to make employers responsible where a member of staff is harassed by another employee.
She also said she wanted to end paternity leave discrimination, improve the current childcare offering, ensure pension pots were taken into account in divorces and introduce employment rights for carers.
The report sets out the government's plans on the following eight issues:
Encouraging sector-wide gender equality strategies and tailored equality initiatives for organisations, prioritising sectors that are strongly associated with one gender, including: health, education, retail, financial services, construction and engineering. Gender disparities in apprenticeships will also be looked at.
Assessing the effectiveness of gender pay gap reporting in exposing the causes of pay gaps and employers' progress in tackling them
Launching a national campaign to help employers understand how they can help staff balance work and care, based on 'world-leading' research
Continuing to develop and test behavioural interventions to improve gender equality at work, including the publication of an actions for employers toolkit later this year
Investigating ways to make Universal Credit work better for women
Continuing to evaluate the shared parental leave programme. The government plans to have the evidence needed to consider how it can be modernised by the end of 2019
Consulting on dedicated employment rights for carers, including carer's leave
Helping returners to identify job opportunities through Jobcentre Plus and helping businesses to offer and promote returner schemes
The publication also notes that the government wants both parents to be able to take 'active and well-informed choices' about balancing work and care.
Sam Smethers, chief executive of the Fawcett Society, welcomed the report but urged against complacency. "We welcome this roadmap but we must chart an ambitious course. That means modernising our equal pay laws and a period of longer, better-paid leave for dads. It means placing a new duty on employers to prevent harassment," she said.
"It means a real living wage and affordable childcare. It means transforming education to really challenge gender stereotypes. It means safeguarding women's rights post-Brexit. It means more women in all their diversity in positions of power."
Jeanette Makings, head of financial education at Close Brothers, commented that there are numerous factors at play and that women's generally poorer financial wellbeing is a complex issue.
"Progress is being made, but the stark gender imbalance in financial wellbeing is a reminder of the scale of the challenge that still faces female employees and their employers," she said. "With more women in lower paid roles women are being paid less and therefore saving less, to the detriment of their financial wellbeing. But it is not the only underlying cause."
She added though that employers can help by implementing thorough financial wellbeing strategies: "The pressures and financial circumstances of female employees are often different to those of their male counterparts, so the level and focus of financial education on offer needs to reflect that.
"But the good news is that these issues are solvable. Once the key pinch points for financial wellbeing have been identified, employers should be better prepared to provide tailored strategies to improve women's financial health and confidence."

Snoh Aalegra recently released her first album since the widely talked about project Ugh, Those Feels Again in 2019, entitled Temporary Highs In The Violet Skies. Fans have had mixed feelings about her latest project. Some saying it was worth the wait. While others believe it's not as strong as they had expected. Today, the songstress is trending alongside iconic singer Sade because of one striking comparison.
Not sure if it's Snoh's sleek ponytail look or the soulful, sultry sounds of her music, but one fan struck a major nerve on Twitter late last night. Twitter user @SlickyWilliams tweeted, "Snoh Aaelgra is our Sade," making a comparison that Snoh is this generation's version of the timeless act that is Sade.
Many Sade lovers were outraged at the parallel, claiming that some fans often rush to make such parities. Some fans expressed their annoyance on social media with various tweets supporting both Snoh Aalegra and Sade for their unique and separate gifts.
Sade Is Sade
Don't Compare Timeless Talent
She Said What She Said
They Are Not The Same
Allow Snoh To Be Great
Though a strong and maybe overzealous comparison, the two both share music that soothes the soul with the world. To many fans, Snoh hasn't reserved the right to compete with the likes of Sade, who has been championed as a neo soul giant in music for many years. Maybe let's give Snoh a few more years to get a few more albums under her belt before we jump to any conclusions.
It may also behoove fans to let go of the comparison mentality and simply enjoy each artist for what they have to offer individually. Even, Snoh would agree.
Nevertheless, who would you choose? Snoh or Sade?
Listen to Snoh's "I Want You Around"
Listen to Sade's "Sweetest Taboo"

Q: Highlight single terms within a word cloud? Is it possible to highlight single words within a word cloud using 'wordcloud' or 'wordcloud2'?  Does one have to add another column to the data frame as ordering factor?
I couldn't find any simple solution.
Here's what I've done:
wordcloud(text_process$words[1:n.words],
          text_process$frequency[1:n.words],
          scale = c(18, 0.5),
          colors = c("#666666", "#3E6AA0") [factor(text_process$matches[1:n.words])],
          use.r.layout = FALSE,
          rot.per = 0.2,
          random.order = FALSE, ordered.colors=TRUE)

I had to introduce a criterion (called 'matches') in the data frame 'text_process' that indicates the color. I was wondering whether there's a simpler way of highlighting specific words...

A: # Not Tested
library(randomcoloR)

cols<-randomColor(length(unique(test_process$words[1:n.words])), luminosity = "dark")

match_value<-match("HighlightThisWord", test_process$words[1:n.words])

cols[match_value]<-"orange"

wordcloud(text_process$words[1:n.words],
      text_process$frequency[1:n.words],
      scale = c(18, 0.5),
      colors = cols,
      use.r.layout = FALSE,
      rot.per = 0.2,
      random.order = FALSE, ordered.colors=TRUE)


X11::Muralis - Perl module to display wallpaper on your desktop.
This describes version 0.10 of X11::Muralis.
The X11::Muralis module (and accompanying script, 'muralis') displays a given image file on the desktop background (that is, the root window) of an X-windows display.
This tries to determine what size would best suit the image; whether to show it fullscreen or normal size, whether to show it tiled or centred on the screen. Setting the options overrides this behaviour.
One can also repeat the display of the last-displayed image, changing the display options as one desires.
This uses an external program (xloadimage, xsri, or feh) to display the image file.
This also depends on xwininfo to get information about the root window.
The name "muralis" comes from the Latin "muralis" which is the word from which "mural" was derived. I just thought it was a cool name for a wallpaper script.
Create a new object, setting global values for the object.
Return which backends are available.
List which backends are available.
Limit the images which match the given string.
Give the list format. If not defined or empty or "normal", will do a "normal" listing, which gives the directory names followed by the files. If 'fullname' then it will list all the files with their full names (and doesn't list the directory names).
Print the list to the given file rather than to STDOUT.
What does this backend provide?
Centre the image on the root window.
Limit the number of colours used to display the image. This is useful for a 256-colour display.
The image will be zoomed to fit the size of the screen.
If using the --list or --random options, limit the image(s) to those which match the string.
Pick a random image to display. If --match is given, limit the selection to images in directories which match the match-string.
Display the last image which was displayed. This is useful to re-display an image while overriding the default display options.
Additional option or options to pass on to the backend.
Tile the image to fill the root window.
Enlarge or reduce the size of the image by the given percent.
Counts the images which match the string.
Get a list of matching image files.
If 'unseen' is true, then get the file names from the ~/.muralis/unseen file, if it exists.
Get the list of directories.
Get info about the root window. This uses xwininfo.
Find the full name of the nth (matching) file starting the count from 1.
Get the name of a random file.
Find the full filename of an image file.
Use the options passed in or figure out the best default options. Return a string containing the options.
Save the name of the image most recently displayed. Also update the "unseen" file if 'unseen' is true.

FDA advisers: revise popular birth control labels
Dec 09, 2011 Viewed: 664
U.S. health advisers recommended a revision of labels for the widely used new generation of birth control pills, based on data showing they may put women at a higher risk of dangerous blood clots.
Although all common birth control pills increase women's chances of getting blood clots, concerns have recently been mounting about an even higher risk linked to a newer generation of pills that contain the compound drospirenone, such as Bayer AG's popular Yaz and Yasmin.
Outside experts advising the Food and Drug Administration on Thursday, in a 21-5 vote, agreed that the current, rather complex label does not adequately help women and doctors understand the risks and benefits of such pills.
"(The label) is incredibly hard for physicians to read and if we think that patients are reading these and understanding these before making their decisions, we're delusional," said panel member Dr. Peter Kaboli, associate professor of internal medicine at the University of Iowa Caver College of Medicine.
Nonetheless, in a very close vote of 15 to 11, the panel concluded that benefits of preventing unwanted pregnancies did outweigh the risks.
A number of studies have been conducted on Bayer's Yasmin, the first drospirenone-containing contraceptive to be approved in the United States in 2001. And overall, the evidence is conflicting whether the compound indeed raises the chances of developing potentially fatal blood clots - something that made some panelists reluctant to seek drastic changes to the label.
However, several panel members pointed out that only Bayer-sponsored studies seemed to find Yasmin equally safe as other birth control pills.
"I found that disturbing," said Dr. Maria Suarez-Almazor, a professor at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, to applause from numerous women's advocates and patients.
Many of them earlier tearfully recounted sudden deaths and life-changing disabilities they or their loved ones suffered from blood clots they believe were caused by Yaz or Yasmin.
"Most people only see the watered-down label ... We know that labels just don't change behavior," said Cynthia Pearson, executive director of the National Women's Health Network, one of several consumer advocacy groups that argue the drugs should be taken off the market entirely.
FDA REVIEW
FDA's own study earlier this year found that women taking Yasmin were about twice as likely to develop venous or arterial thrombotic events (VTEs and ATEs) than women on older birth control. The risk of VTEs was especially higher in women under 35 while risk of ATEs was higher in women older than 35.
With VTEs, blood clots occur in one of the deep veins in the body, such as the leg or pelvis, and then may travel to the lungs, which could lead to stroke or death.
The FDA study also estimated that 10 in 10,000 women taking the newer drug would get a blood clot per year, compared with about six in 10,000 women taking older contraceptives.
Drawing a definitive conclusion that drospirenone elevates the blood clot risk has been complicated by the fact that the risk also increases if a woman smokes, has extra weight, clogged arteries, a family history or other health problems.
FDA's scientists in their review released on Tuesday suggested that, despite conflicting data, the pills' labels should better reflect all the evidence. The FDA usually follows the advice of its advisory panels.
The FDA study raised a similar concern of a blood clot risk about Johnson & Johnson's Ortho Evra contraceptive patch, which does not contain drospirenone. FDA advisers will discuss Ortho Evra on Friday.
POPULAR PILL
Yaz, a reformulated version of Yasmin, remains one of the U.S. top-selling contraceptives. Bayer raked in $374 million in Yaz sales last year, according to data from IMS Health.
However, that's only about half of what Bayer made off Yaz at the peak of its popularity in 2009. The number of prescriptions filled for the pill also dropped more than by half to 5 million in 2010 from 2009, according to IMS.
Apart from preventing pregnancy, Yaz and Beyaz also have a secondary indication to treat moderate acne and symptoms of premenstrual dysphoric disorder, a severe mood problem.
The company also makes newer Beyaz and Safyral pills, versions of Yaz and Yasmin that add levomefolate to raise levels of folate, which is thought to help fertility.
The current labels for Bayer's family of pills now include a boxed warning that all birth control pills carry, that smoking increases the risk of serious cardiovascular problems, especially in women over 35.
Warnings also highlight higher risk of blood clots associated with birth control pills and present an overview of studies looking at that risk.
"This language goes heavily toward the positive side and is dismissive of conflicting results," said Jacqueline Gardner, a University of Washington professor. "I think that needs to be corrected."

Denvoid 2: Keith Curts (Echo Beds, Fauxgazi, Junkdrawer, Subpoena The Past, Glass Hits)
Denvoid and the Cowtown Punks Volume 2: The Colorado Crew is coming out this year. Really it is. Sonny Kay and I have been slowly chipping away at it over the past 3-4 years. The problem is that this is a hobby and often takes a backseat to our jobs and families. On my end, living in Alexandria, Egypt makes calling folks across the pond tricky. Additionally, I'm in the process of relocating to Abu Dhabi for work; there are plenty of balls in motion.
I'm obsessed with this project and feel lucky when I'm able to set aside chunks of time towards completing it even if it entails transcribing interviews in the front seat of a car on the way to Cairo. My bigger problem is that I want to include everyone and don't know when to stop. Typically, I interview one person and usually go, "Ohh, I should also interview this other person" and it avalanches from there. So here we are. forty plus interviews later and we're STILL hunting down the last couple of folks. As the project has expanded beyond the initial vision, it will easily overshadow the first Denvoid book in its massiveness (and star power) not to mention tons of artwork, photographs, flyers, etc. Unfortunately, not every band from that period (1988-1996) will be interviewed, but we are being conscious to include them in one form or another.
Q: When will Denvoid 2 be reseased?
A: Mid-December 2019. Not the ideal time, but it's the time I can get away from Abu Dhabi. We are contacting people to try and make this a special release. Ideally, we like to devote a weekend to this event with bands playing at different venues around Denver. My goal will be to release excerpts of interviews each week until the book release.
This first installment features Keith Curts. I've had the pleasure to play music with Keith from 1994-96 with both Junkdrawer and Llamas NoVa. When I met Keith in 1992 he was just starting out, I had seen his first band, So Far Gone play. The band was young, but everyone involved had an intense energy to them...although their set was technically sloppy, it was played with passion and sincerity and that's what mattered. They were heavily influenced by the DC sound that had pretty much infected every corner of the country - even in Longmont where So Far Gone was hatched from.
Keith's next band, Junkdrawer made room for me after I returned from living a year in Birmingham, Alabama. We played out often and even survived a three-week summer tour of the southwest and west coast. After Junkdrawer called it quits: Keith, along with Patricia Kavanaugh (Harriet The Spy), Sean Watson (Savalas drummer #3), Mark Bradin (Savalas drummer #2) and I didn't waste any time in forming Llama NoVa. It should be noted that Tim Nakari (Small Dog Frenzy) played in the second incarnation of Llamas NoVa.
In 1996 Keith left Colorado for the bay area and played in a few band there including Subpoena The Past with Sonny. Upon his return a decade later he played in: Glass Hits, Fauxgazi (A Fugazi cover band that went on tour - check out the documentary here and of course his latest project Echo Beds.
Keith caught the playing music bug early and never stopped. He had always pushed himself to learn and grow in his endeavors. Always humble, approachable, and easy to strike-up a conversation with. Enjoy the excerpts of the interview.

What did that whole Longmont scene look like to you?
There was our band and New Breed who was Andy Lefton on Bass, Jared Allen on guitar, Matt Sandau sang, and Mike McNaughton on drums. Mike eventually ended up in Linus. There was also a crossover metal band kinda like DRI, called Salacious Crumb. This guy Nick played with them and Jason Barlowe. Jason ended up playing bass in Linus. So there was this thread throughout the Longmont scene. There was another band with Mark Risius and Andy Brazycki and a couple of other people, they would go through different names changes, Fahrenheit 451 was one of their names at one point. There was also Caste who was Will Welty, Dan Parris, Pete Lyman along with Mike McNaughton. Mike and I went to high school together and he was the first one who turned me on to things like Godflesh and Nitzer Ebb. You know, I remember in 9th grade I was getting turned on to so many different things and it kind of kept going. Then you have this moment trying to figure out your music identity; Am I a new waver? Am I a punk rocker? You don't realize it's all under the same umbrella. Then you start putting it all together, like Godflesh is kind of a punk band, kind of an industrial band, kind of a metal band...
The few of us would take a bus into Boulder to catch a Savalas shows. We'd see people from Dead Silence walking around and that was weird because we were from this little podunk town and Boulder seemed like it was so much more grown-up because it had more of a scene. We looked-up to that. Seeing some of those bands were life changing, to get to experience Savalas, Belljar, Dig, Small Dog Frenzy… That was out big city experience. (laughs)
What was So Far Gone's first show? When did you guys actually start playing?
We would play in Jeb's dad's garage or like my parent's basement when they went out of town and my step brother wasn't home. We'd play in other people's living rooms. I remember playing a show at a grange hall in Lafayette. The Offspring and G'rups played there at one point. We had local shows there too. We weren't a good band. At least I felt like I wasn't a good part of that band. (laughs). It was the thought that counted.
I remember Brian Gathy and I liking So Far Gone at the ballet studio show in Boulder.
Oh yeah! We did play that show because it was recorded! We played with Belljar and Dig. It was Dig's last show because their guitarist, Ken Smallwood was moving back to the East Coast. I vividly remember Brian Gathy smashing his bass into pieces, like splinters because he was so distraught that the band was ending. Later, I got to know Brian and understood that was how he was... I had never experienced anything like that before. I had never witnessed that kind of emotion that connected with music. I didn't get to see bands like Rites of Spring. I know Brian did since he was from DC. Watching Brian that night, I just connected with that. And Belljar's set - Grant Gutherie just fucking wailing. That was an amazing time.
Like with So Far Gone, we didn't know what we were doing. We didn't do it long enough to actually get good at it. It wasn't like you listen to a bunch of records and then try to figure out how to play like that. We just played. There was no artifice and no roadmap. Dan turned me on to a lot of the Dischord stuff, "emo stuff" that just rang a bell with me. I immediately became inspired by all that stuff, but I couldn't play like that. We just all started playing. Andy Rothbard and Jeb had been friends forever, there were like fifteen when we started the band, I was 17, and Dan was 19. It really was a collaboration, a sum of its parts where everyone came in with something different. It was like creation for creation sake. That was it, it was really liberating to just play. The beauty of youth, not yet looking through the microscope.
Reflecting back on the on that show at the ballet studio, it's funny how some people had that "holy shit" moment seeing Brian smash his bass. I saw the appeal of witnessing someone shattering an instrument because they were consumed by the moment. I can tell you for certain that Sonny and I had a different "holy shit" moment as in, "Fuck, Savalas is about to head out on a three-week tour AND fucking Brian just smashed his bass. You know, we were like, "What an asshole." (laughs)
Savalas was really good, you guys were older and knew how to play your instruments. You played shows, toured, had shirts with Chris Shary's artwork! If Chris Shary is doing you artwork that really meant something...Take this as a compliment, because it is, I never met anyone with tattoos before (laughs). Seriously, we looked up to you guys. We were like, "These guys know what's up." We're just fumbling around in the dark over here and that's fine because I'm seventeen and I'm allowed to do that. So I get it that you and Sonny were being practical while we were looking at Brian in awe.
I don't remember if we played after the Shudder To Think show. I didn't know if the recording was before or after the Shudder show, but I think that was it for the band.
So we have to talk a little bit about that too. At least just touch on it. There was a weird backlash between what was punk and what wasn't. That was a strain for our band, it wasn't like we were careering or on the fast track. It was around that time that some punk bands were getting picked up by bigger labels like Shudder To Think, Samiam...
And that Shudder To Think show was being boycotted by some of our friends because it wasn't punk enough!? It wasn't a punk show? Huh, that really like confused me. I thought what we were doing was a punk band. The fact that we did it ourselves and didn't rely on anyone else. We wrote everything ourselves. You booked everything pretty much. It was all us, but that somehow wasn't punk enough. It kind of was a kick in the nuts, you know.
It was disheartening and reflecting back on it, it was petty. The whole DIY thing got really out of control, it was like the absurdity in the DIY culture that the TV show, Portlandia lampoons. When did punk start having rules, that's kind of an oxymoron. Who gives a shit if we played a $7 show?
It became a very dogmatic thing.

Q: The image gets drawn at the wrong position
This is the final output of my thread that takes screenshots and stores them in a vector.
java.awt.Robot is used to take screenshots which are basically rasters of the screen and does not contain cursor position. As a way around, I use the MouseInfo class to get PointerInfo and then get a Point. Then draw an image at that point.
All is cool if recording area is set to full screen resolution. However if I change the recording area, the cursor gets drawn at the wrong position.
This black cursor is supposed to be at the Play button of the Eclipse IDE, at  the top. However it is at the wrong position.
 How do I draw it at the right position?
 Code:
package demo;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.image.*;
import java.util.*;
import javax.swing.*;

public class ScreenCapturingThread extends Thread{
    public ScreenCapturingThread(Vector<BufferedImage> screenShots,
            int frameRate,
            Icon cursor,
            Rectangle recordingArea){
        this.screenShots = screenShots;
        this.frameRate = frameRate;
        this.cursor = cursor;
        this.recordingArea = recordingArea;

        try{
            bot = new Robot();
        }catch(Exception e){
            System.out.println(e);
        }
        calculateSleepTime();
    }
    @Override
    public void run(){
        while(keepCapturing == true){
            try{
                screenShots.insertElementAt(takeScreenShot(), 0);
                sleep(sleepTime);

                keepCapturing = false; //take only one shot

                System.out.println("here");
                JFrame frame = new JFrame("blah");
                frame.setVisible(true);
                JLabel label = new JLabel(new ImageIcon(screenShots.firstElement()));
                frame.setSize(recordingArea.width, recordingArea.height);
                frame.add(label);

            }catch(InterruptedException e){
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        }
    }
    public BufferedImage takeScreenShot(){
        p = m.getPointerInfo();
        Point location = p.getLocation();
        image = bot.createScreenCapture(recordingArea);
        if(cursor!=null){
            Graphics g = image.getGraphics();
            g.drawImage(((ImageIcon)cursor).getImage(), location.x,location.y,null);
        }
        return image;
    }
    public void stopIt(){
        keepCapturing = false;
    }
    public void calculateSleepTime(){
        sleepTime = 1/frameRate;
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Vector<BufferedImage> bufferedImages = new Vector<>(100);
        int frameRate = 10;
        Icon cursor = (Icon) new ImageIcon("src/images/blackCursor.png");
        Rectangle r = new Rectangle(1280,800);
        r.x = 200;
        r.y = 200;
        ScreenCapturingThread sc = new ScreenCapturingThread(bufferedImages,frameRate,cursor,r);

        sc.start();
    }
    Vector<BufferedImage> screenShots;
    int frameRate;
    long sleepTime;
    boolean keepCapturing = true;
    Icon cursor;
    Rectangle recordingArea;
    Robot bot;
    MouseInfo m;
    PointerInfo p;
    BufferedImage image;
}

If the cursor goes out of the recording bounds, it must not be drawn. I mean, you get the point right?
 Output at full screen resolution

A: Of course you must draw a cursor in a relative position - not global:
    p = m.getPointerInfo();
    Point location = p.getLocation();

gives you mouse position on screen (global).
Mouse position in your image coordinates (relative) would be something like:
    int x = (int) (p.x - recordingArea.getX()); //for int y similar
    if(x < 0 || y < 0 || y >= maxHeight || x >= maxWidth) { // don't draw cursor }

A: You're drawing the pointer at the same position as the run button still, because you don't ever check if the pointer's position is in your recording bounds. Also, you might want to scale your pointer's position with your recording bounds.
For example, you can check to see if the pointer is left or up from the viewing rectangle by doing something like this (Offset variables are basically how far away from the left and top did you start recording):
p = m.getPointerInfo();
Point location = p.getLocation();
image = bot.createScreenCapture(recordingArea);
//Check location here.
if( location.x < recordingArea.x + <<offset x variable>> ||
    location.y < recordingArea.y + <<offset y variable>>){
     //Code to change cursor position to outside of viewing rectangle here.
}
if(cursor!=null){
      Graphics g = image.getGraphics();
      g.drawImage(((ImageIcon)cursor).getImage(), location.x,location.y,null);
}

The first day Allan Kornberg moved into his Duke University office in 1965, he brought his three young children with him, who immediately took to racing down the hallways. The noise brought out longtime political science Chairman Robert Rankin who demanded to know what was going on.
Kornberg's son replied, "That's my daddy's office." Like father, like son, Allan is remembered to have an attracting personality. "I'll miss his big laugh," remembers Emerson Niou.
After 43 years of service to the university, guiding the department in various scholarly and administrative ways, Allan Kornberg passed away, on July 31, 2018. Georg Vanberg recounts his service, writing, "He was a prolific and distinguished scholar of legislatures, parties, and comparative political behavior. Allan served as the department's chair from 1983 to 1992, and retired as the Norb F. Schaefer Professor of International Studies in 2008. From 1993-1995, he served as the first Director of the Division of Social, Behavioral, and Economic Research of the National Science Foundation."
Thomas Spragens remembers Allan to have guided the department to higher levels of national prominence. "It was surprising to some when Allan was appointed as Chair of the Department, because he had the reputation of being something of a maverick; and he was never shy about speaking his mind, even if there were those who did not want to hear what he had to say. But he excelled in scholarship. He excelled in mentorship. And, as it turned out, he excelled in his academic leadership as well. Allan was fortunate in the timing of his chairmanship, in that the University was in an expansionary mode at the time. But the Department benefited enormously from his ability and determination to take full advantage of those circumstances to improve the Department and to enhance its national stature."
Michael Gillespie and Peter Lange echo that sentiment, "As chair of the Political Science Department, Allan Kornberg led the transformation of the department from an excellent regional program into a top ten nationally ranked program. His colorful personality and forceful leadership style will never be forgotten by those who knew him." "Allan was a tremendous advocate for political science," Peter Lange writes, "and the proof was in the pudding; the department vastly improved under his leadership and became known for some of its distinctive areas of research."
Allan is also remembered, in Peter Lange's words, as "a terrific mentor." He nurtured relationships with both junior faculty, like Joseph Grieco, and graduate students, like Richard Salsman. "I will miss him," Richard Salsman reflects, "in 2006 I was his grader for his course on elections; our office chats were so memorable. A very wise man, not only in LIFE and in PS but also in football play strategy!" Joseph Grieco believes he is a better scholar of International Relations because of sage advice Allan and Allan's peers offered. "I remember Allan Kornberg as a good intellectual colleague. He was curious about the work of junior faculty. In my case he offered good counsel."

A fresh doctor, Ossi Ollinaho will explain how sociologists of knowledge perceive reality: an activity based on individual experience structured by society that is being reproduced by individuals. This will require going back to concepts such as consciousness, knowledge, socialization, objectivation and institutionalization. Furthermore, Ossi will tell how material sphere can be integrated into this view. If time allows, de-pragmatized knowledge and institutional change will be discussed as well.
You are all very welcome.
Bio: Ossi Ollinaho is currently a post-doc researcher at the University of Geneva focusing on agrarian question in Brazil and elsewhere. Besides attempting to understand and studying how we construct our societies, Ossi wishes to correct some of their aspects – agriculture and energy use foremost of them.

Sky 1 have revealed details of their festive comedy drama, Agatha Raisin and the Quiche of Death, which stars Ashley Jensen in the lead role.
High-flying PR whizz Agatha Raisin (Jensen) is taking her foot off the gas. Having spent years toiling away, making a success of herself in London, the fortysomething singleton has hit the refresh button and moved on to pastures new. Specifically the tiny village of Carsely in the Cotswolds, which ticks all the boxes: peaceful, stress-free, easy. Like all the best laid plans, it turns out to be anything but – and all because of a quiche.
Hurricane Agatha blows into town and not everyone is a fan of this whirlwind of high heels, bright lipstick and all-round fabulousness, namely snootier members of the community Jo Cummings-Browne (Hermione Norris,Spooks) and Sheila (Caroline Langrishe, Judge John Deed), who are immediately dismissive. Agatha, admittedly, doesn't help herself because she's not very good at adapting. In fact she's downright terrible.
Bored, lonely and feeling like a fish out of water, Agatha decides to make a more concerted effort to fit in, taking part in a local quiche contest overseen by the sleazy Andy Cummings-Browne (Robert Bathurst, Downton Abbey) – yup, Jo's hubby. Agatha enters a shop-bought quiche (hey, at least she's trying) and is confident she's got a winner, until, that is, events take a tragic turn when one of the judges kicks the bucket after eating her offering.
So begins a murder mystery unlike any other as Agatha puts her detective hat on to clear her name – yes, it is merely a coincidence that her arrival is marked by a suspicious death – and unmask the real culprit. Helping the amateur sleuth is former colleague and best pal Roy (Mathew Horne, Gavin & Stacey) and new allies Gemma (Katy Wix, Not Going Out), a tough single mum, and nice guy police officer DC Bill Wong (Matt McCooey, Skins).
The drama will air over the festive period on Sky 1.

DO NOT PANIC. GOOGLE CANNOT DIAGNOSE YOU. IT JUST GIVES YOU A ROUGH IDEA. YOU SHOULD CONSULT A DOCTOR,GET YOURSELF EXAMINED AND THEN DECIDE ON THE FURTHER LINE OF MANAGEMENT.
Get a complete blood picture and see an orthopedist for your back pain…use hot packs to relive the pain and practice yoga..breathing exercise to decrease the tooth grinding and anxeity..
adrenal sufficiency can be a possibility . consult a endocrinologist and get the necessary investigations to get it ruled out. auto immune diseases do not present in this way and should not be a worry.


This article was not written to read like a novel. It is a to-the-point technical dump describing the inner workings of Microsoft's cold and hot patching process. The majority of the symbolic names listed below have been derived from NTDLL and NTOSKRNL. Please post any questions you may have directly (for the benefit of others) to this article and the author will gladly respond. The article may be updated in the future to include some of these answers inline.

Replacing functions by replacing their containers - files and sections.
The image to patch is "atomically replaced" with an image that contains all code and data contained within the original plus the fixed functions and redirections to them through embedded hooks. The functions to update are statically hooked and the hooks transfer the execution to the fixed functions in the '.text_CP' or '.text_CO' section of a coldpatch module. This section is followed by the '.DBG_POR' section in situations where the original '.data' section has to be modified. In other cases, the '.text_CP' / '.text_CO' sections are followed by '.data_CP' or '.data_CO'. Overall, there can theoretically be as many _CP / _CO sections as the original image has (.text, rdata, .data, etc..). The '.DBG_POR' section contains module imports, exports and a debug information. The debug information for the coldpatch module usually consists of two entries. The first entry is of CODEVIEW type, the second is RESERVED10. RESERVED10 data contains the coldpatch debug information that is comprised of the HOTPATCH_DEBUG_HEADER structure followed by HOTPATCH_DEBUG_DATA structure. HOTPATCH_DEBUG_HEADER.Type has value DEBUG_SIGNATURE_COLDPATCH. The contents of HOTPATCH_DEBUG_DATA are used in a process called 'target module validation' when the validation of the original module fails and hotpatch checks if there is a coldpatch present.
The atomic file replacement is realized by filling the SYSTEM_HOTPATCH_CODE_INFORMATION.RenameInfo structure and calling SYSTEM_HOTPATCH_CODE_INFORMATION.Flags.HOTP_RENAME_FILES sub-function of ExApplyCodePatch (SystemHotpatchInformation class of Nt/ZwSetSystemInformation) function. HOTP_RENAME_FILES sub-function is not implemented in the newer OS versions/builds.
Replacing the image on a volume doesn't mean that all the newly created processes will load/contain the updated image. For the system purposes, security or for increasing module loading speed, a sections can be emplyed in the process of the image loading. The section for a system module (ntdll.dll, ...) is updated by HOTP_UPDATE_SYSDLL sub-function (no structure required). The section for the loader (from \KnownDlls object directory) is updated by calling HOTP_UPDATE_KNOWNDLL with AtomicSwap sub-structure filled. The old object's name is swapped with newly created temporary object (update.exe names the section 'ColdPatchInstallationInProgres') in the object directory.
Replacing functions by replacing their code in the memory. Available since Server 2003 SP0, XP SP2 x86, ia64, x64.
Functions were successfully fixed on the volume. Now they should be changed in the memory - in the kernel memory for kernel modules or in the memory of user processes that contain the module to update. The functions to patch are dynamically hooked - one sufficiently long CPU instruction or data (pointer, RVA) of the function to fix is replaced with a branch instruction (pointer, RVA) that redirects an execution flow to a fixed function in the hotpatch module. After applying the hooks, the patched module in memory looks like the coldpatch module, just the targets of the branch instructions do not lie within '.text_CP' section but in the code section(s) of the hotpatch module.
The hotpatch module may contain the debug information similar to the coldpatch's one, just RESERVED10 data consists of HOTPATCH_DEBUG_HEADER only and HOTPATCH_DEBUG_HEADER.Type has value DEBUG_SIGNATURE_HOTPATCH.
The hotpatch module must contain a section named '.hotp1 ' that is at least 80 bytes (sizeof(HOTPATCH_HEADER)) long and that must begin with a HOTPATCH_HEADER structure. The structure is used for validating the target module, fixing relocations and creating intermediate RTL_PATCH_HEADER structure.
When applying the hotpatch to a user module, an updating agent enumerates the processes and creates remote threads into them that execute ntdll.LdrHotPatchRoutine. Newer OS versions/builds allow the remote thread creation from the kernel mode when HOTP_INJECT_THREAD sub-function is called and InjectInfo sub-structure is correctly filled.
LdrHotPatchRoutine checks if HOTP_USE_MODULE flag is set and the target module, whose base name is specified in UserModeInfo.TargetNameOffset, is present in the process. When applying the hotpatch to a kernel module, (ntoskrnl.MmHotPatchRoutine) both HOTP_USE_MODULE and HOTP_KERNEL_MODULE flags must be set and KernelInfo sub-structure must be filled.
The Source (hotpatch) module is loaded and checked for the presence of '.hotp1 ' section, HOTPATCH_HEADER.Signature and Version. If RTL_PATCH_HEADER for the source module already exists, hooks were successfully applied and HOTP_PATCH_APPLY flag is clear, the hooks are removed. Otherwise RTL_PATCH_HEADER is created, the target module whose name is in HOTPATCH_HEADER.TargetNameRva is checked for presence and validated according to ModuleIdMethod using TargetModuleIdValue. If there's a validation mismatch, system checks whether the target module is the coldpatch according to the coldpatch debug info. If it is the coldpatch, PATCHFLAG_COLDPATCH_VALID flag is set in RTL_PATCH_HEADER.PatchFlags.
The functions to fix may access the target image, they can call its functions and use its variables (it means pointers and call and jump targets do not have to be in the hotpatch module because they point directly to the target module). Such codes must be fixed using special relocation fixups from HOTPATCH_HEADER.FixupRgnRva with respect to HOTPATCH_HEADER.OrigHotpBaseAddress and HOTPATCH_HEADER.OrigTargetBaseAddress. Then the functions function as they would be called from the original module. Number of the HOTPATCH_FIXUP_ENTRY structures in the HOTPATCH_FIXUP_REGION must be even number. If the hotpatch contains standard base relocations, they usually apply only to a pointers to hotpatch's import table (APIs).
Various places of the target module can be validated according to HOTPATCH_VALIDATION structures in HOTPATCH_HEADER.ValidationArrayRva. Validations with option HOTP_Valid_Hook_Target are skipped (those are the places to patch).
HOTPATCH_HOOK_DESCRIPTOR structures are prepared according to HOTPATCH_HOOK structures in HOTPATCH_HEADER.HookArrayRva. HOTPATCH_HOOK.HookOptions contain in their first 5 bits the length of the instruction to replace and it must be at least as long as the length of the branch instruction - the rest is, for some hook types, padded with bytes of value 0xCC.
Again there's possibility to validate the bytes that will be replaced (HOTP_Valid_Hook_Target has now no effect). If there's a mismatch and the patch place already contains the adequate branch instruction, a list of RTL_PATCH_HEADER structures in TargetModule.LDR_DATA_TABLE_ENTRY.PatchInformation is traversed and bytes at HOTPATCH_HOOK_DESCRIPTOR.CodeOffset are compared with the prepared branch instruction. If there's mismatch and the target module is the coldpatch, the validation succeeds for some hook types, for the other ones is checked whether the branch instruction points into the coldpatch.
Upon succesfull validation and hook preparation are the remaining members of RTL_PATCH_HEADER filled in, the sections of the target module are made writable and the hooks are written by calling ExApplyCodePatch with RTL_PATCH_HEADER.CodeInfo and HOTP_PATCH flag set. If the patch application succeeds, RTL_PATCH_HEADER is linked to TargetModule.LDR_DATA_TABLE_ENTRY.PatchInformation list.
There's no security issue: Debug and LoadDriver privileges must be enabled for all Cold/HotPatch operations except for user mode hotpatching or when applying CodeInfo directly. CodeInfo cannot be directly applied to kernel when calling ExApplyCodePatch from user mode.
CodeInfo is applied "os-atomically" - the preemption is unlikely.
Function to fix doesn't have to be compiled (/linked) with /hotpatch (/functionpadmin) option.
Fixup handling. Anyway, one doesn't have to use the target module functions/data so there's no need for the hotpatch fixups.
Of course there's possibility to make a triple patch: JMP2B -> IND -> VA64.
Function created with /hotpatch, "semi-hotpachable" function, "non-hotpatchable" function. You may notice there's replaced more than one CPU instruction (5x nop with long relative jmp) but the nops are not involved in the function - they serve as buffer.


It is only with the support of the general public and the assistance of corporations with hearts for humanity that let the G-FAST model continue to scale.

He raru ki ngā kura auraki – an exploration into the meaning of "Māori enjoying education success as Māori" to Māori students and their whānau in south island mainstream schools.
The Ministry of Education produced the first of two versions of the Māori Education Strategy "Ka Hikitia" in 2008, which states that the strategic intent of the strategy was for Māori to enjoy education success as Māori. In the second edition, in 2013, the strategic intent became Māori enjoying and achieving education success as Māori. Little information or support was available to establish what that meant at the time of this study.
This research project is about the mainstream South Island secondary school experiences of Māori students and their parents. The study sought to establish what the strategic intent means to them and to understand what they had experienced as supports for achieving this aspiration. The study was conducted using the combination of a phenomenological and Kaupapa Māori approach, and consisted of semi-structured interviews with seven Māori students and three parents conducted in 2012. Findings from the study suggest that the participants define having success as Māori as the opportunity to develop strengths in relation to both Mātauranga Pākehā and Mātauranga Maori. This success is supported through both school and whānau factors that reflect the Māori values of wānanga, whanaungatanga and ako.
