When you read the tweet I'm about to post, you are going to think it's from the Onion. This is probably the least self-aware thing I've ever seen and that's saying something.
Given the recent news about Michael Avenatti being indicted in multiple jurisdictions, certain media personalities are feeling the need to distance themselves. You see, many of our most trusted journalists got into bed with this guy and spread his venom, whether about Trump or during the Kavanaugh hearings.
CNN's Chris Cillizza of "journalists don't take sides!" fame decided to go a step further with a take so hot that it melts steel.
There's gaslighting and then there's whatever the heck Cillizza is doing here. This is next level stuff.
Even without CNN's behavior regarding Avenatti, this would be a dumb take. But it's other worldly stupid because CNN is the primary entity responsible for the promotion of Avenatti. Until they decided to let him sublet a studio from them, he was little more than an ambulance chaser. They built him up into a media sensation and Democratic party icon.
In fact, the relationship between CNN and Avenatti was so strong that they had on air discussions about a Presidential run, including one of their "journalists" fluffing the possibility as legitimate.
Avenatti was also allowed to appear on CNN at unheard of levels until he eventually lost his shirt during the Kavanaugh debacle. He appeared on CNN 74 times over just a 10 week period in 2018. He appeared on Anderson Cooper's very serious show 20 times in that timeframe.
Keep in mind, that's just the 10 week period where he appeared the most. He's been on the network well over 100 times total. He was given $175M in a free media between CNN and MSNBC.
But yes Chris, tell us more about how it's Trump's fault that Avenatti was elevated to a possible Presidential candidate. Wait, what? Amazingly, Cillizza himself was pushing the idea of Avenatti for President not too long ago despite his insane contention today.
The truth is, CNN saw Avenatti as yet another way to attack the President. Despite his checkered past, they gave him a second home on the network and allowed him to spew his nonsense virtually unchecked for nearly a year. It wasn't until real life caught up with him that they decided he wasn't worthy of attention. This was journalistic malpractice at the highest level and for CNN or any of their employees to try to pretend they weren't at the center of Avenatti's rise is laughable.
To be sure, there were others, even on the right, who played along. People who, while constantly harping about Trump's character, happily got in bed with a creep like Avenatti just because they thought they could damage Trump. In doing so, they showed the principles they constantly harped about where simply a plot device for their chosen narrative. The fact remains though that CNN was by far the worse offender. They can't run from that now.
CNN's President, Jeff Zucker, may call Fox News propaganda but he needs to take a hard look in the mirror. His own network has been disgraced by their awful coverage of the Russia collusion investigation. Less than 24 hours later, they were further disgraced by the indictment of a con man who they raised up and treated as a legitimate source simply because he yelled at Trump really loud. That's not news. It's activism and it's exactly what CNN is at this point.

Spices 101
Flavor Story: Whole Mexican Oregano
McCormick Kitchens, McCormick
Mexican oregano brings robust flavor to Mexican, Tex-Mex and South American cooking. We love its peppery, citrusy flavor in salsa, chili, burritos, enchiladas and tacos. It's entirely different from its Mediterranean counterpart. Unlike the ground oregano we love so much in Italian tomato sauce and Greek marinades, Mexican oregano is a member of the verbena family, the flamboyant cousin of the lemon verbena. Rub a pinch of Mexican oregano between your fingertips to release the herb's fragrant oils before dropping it into a bowl of tortilla soup. Your nose—and your taste buds—will thank you. You'll know it's Mexican oregano if it smells like a super-intense version of Mediterranean oregano, with bright notes of pepper and lemon.
Mexican cooks rely on the strong flavor of Mexican oregano for a wide variety of traditional dishes. We use it in fresh or cooked salsa, meat mixtures for burritos and tacos, enchilada sauce, and classic braised pork.
Cuban cuisine makes delicious use of this peppery herb. Mexican oregano is the key flavor in that country's famous slow-cooked ropa vieja, or braised and shredded beef. You'll also find Mexican oregano in Cuban-braised pork and as a seasoning for black beans.
In the home kitchens of Central and South America, you'll find as many recipes for arroz con pollo (chicken and rice) as there are cooks. But all will feature Mexican oregano for its enticing flavor and aroma.
Mexican oregano has a strong bond with all members of the traditional Mexican pantry. It partners well with chilies, avocado, beef, tomatoes, beans and fresh cheese. We enjoy it as an all-purpose seasoning, together with salt and pepper.
Let's talk about chili. We can argue about whether to add kidney beans and beef or reinvent it as white chili with turkey and cannellini beans. But there's one thing we can all agree on: Mexican oregano. It's a natural partner for chili seasonings. Try it with chipotle chili pepper, ground cumin, cayenne red pepper and black pepper.
Scrambled eggs partner well with this fragrant herb. Take your breakfast south-of-the-border by scrambling eggs with browned onions, chopped tomatoes, chilies and a sprinkling of Mexican oregano. Serve the eggs wrapped in tortillas or—our favorite—with a side of spicy corn bread.
Q: If I don't have Mexican oregano on hand, what makes a good substitute?
A: You can always substitute regular oregano leaves for Mexican oregano leaves. It won't be quite as pungent, but it'll do the trick. Substitute one for the other in equal measure. Mexican oregano does add a citrus note to recipes as well, so you may wish to introduce that flavor by including a few pinches of ground coriander.
History/Fun Facts
Mexican oregano is known by a number of different names. Some call it Mexican marjoram and others Mexican wild sage. It's also referred to as té de pais or country tea in Mexico, where it's prepared as an herbal tea. Whatever you call it, Mexican oregano is not the same as the more common Mediterranean oregano of Italy and Greece. Mediterranean oregano is a member of the mint family, while Mexican oregano is related to the Verbenaceae family, which includes lemon verbena. That accounts for the lemony finish that lends complexity to its robust, peppery flavor. Sniff the two oreganos side by side and you'll smell the difference right away!

Q: Can URLField() in django load a localhost path? I am learning django with the book django2 by example, and i am building a social media website that user can share image in the website. There is one function completed, it is using a bookmarks tool(javascript) to load the image from other website then upload to my website, but i want to create one more function on th basic of that. I want to let user upload the image in the local host.
models.py
class Image(models.Model):
    user = models.ForeignKey(settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL, related_name='images_created', on_delete=models.CASCADE)
    title = models.CharField(max_length=200)
    slug = models.SlugField(max_length=200,blank=True)
    url = models.URLField()
    image = models.ImageField(upload_to='images/%Y/%m/%d')
    description = models.TextField(blank=True)
    created = models.DateField(auto_now_add=True,db_index=True)
    users_like = models.ManyToManyField(settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL, related_name='images_liked', blank=True)
    total_likes = models.PositiveIntegerField(db_index=True, default=0)

    def __str__(self):
        return self.title

    def save(self, *args, **kwargs):
        if not self.slug:
            self.slug = slugify(self.title)
        super(Image, self).save(*args, **kwargs)

    def get_absolute_url(self):
            return reverse('images:detail', args=[self.id, self.slug])

When i write a url like that"file://localhost/D:%5C1stu%5Cu=1422291456,3249037427&fm=173&app=25&f=JPEG.jpg"
The django website remind me that "(Hidden field url) Enter a valid URL."
Could anyone tell me that Can URLField() in django load a localhost path?And how?

A: Yes, You can but the reason you get error is django URLfield use url validator to validate urls, You can check it on this link:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.0/ref/validators/#django.core.validators.URLValidator
Now, the URL Validator use  ['http', 'https', 'ftp', 'ftps'] by default if doesn't provide any validation for it that is reason the you get error, you use "file". If you have to use localhost url give validation to url field.
Visit to this link:
Django URLField with custom scheme
I hope this will be helpful to you.

Zambia to sell off 'controversial' presidential jet
Zambian President Hakainde Hichilema, says he plans to sell off a presidential jet which was purchased in 'controversial' circumstances by his predecessor, Edgar Lungu, in his last months in office.
The Zambian leader who made his position known during a judiciary conference on Wednesday, said he is determined to recover around $193 million that was spent to buy the Gulfstream 650 by the Lungu government.
"We do not support that extravagance, because we could have gotten a plane of capability, in terms of range and reliability for around $20 million," Hichilema said.
"So why did we have to spend $193 million on that piece of metal? We could have looked after the judiciary… we could have also bought a lot of school desks for the kids, we could have also invested in one or two border posts," he added.
The controversy surrounding the jet has also divided public opinion with a section of citizens supporting the president's decision to sell it off while others believe that selling it would undermine the country's security.
However, experts say selling off the plane will not be straightforward as the President makes it look as it actually belongs to the Zambia Air Force, and such, is not a public but a military asset.
But the country's anti-corruption agency says it has not foreclosed launching an inquiry into the purchase of the jet.
To this end, the agency announced in a statement that it was looking into how former President Lungu's government bought the jet at an inflated price, instead of "the then $65m standard price" months before he was defeated in the 2021 election.

Original Article: Decolorization of methylene blue by the electro-Fenton process using stainless steel mesh electrodes
Mahshid Loloei, Abbas Rezaee
Aim: In this study, the decolorization of methylene blue (MB) by the electro-Fenton process using stainless steel (SS) mesh electrodes was examined. Materials and Methods: The effects of initial dye concentration, pH, and ratio of Fe: H2O2, current density, and type of electrode were studied. The kinetics of the reactions was also studied. Results: The highest removal rate 99%was obtained at pH 3 within 20 min. Kinetics experiment studies showed that removal of dye was faster at lower initial dye concentrations. The results revealed that color removal was highest at a Fe2+:H2O2 ratio of 1:4. An increase in current density resulted in an increase in oxidation rate and faster removal of color. The results demonstrated that increasing the size of the mesh pores led to an increase in the percentage of dye removal. The highest removal percentage (94.5%) was observed in 25 min with a mesh 2 electrode. The constant rate of dye removal on steel mesh 2 was 6.6 times higher than a steel plate. Energy consumed in this state was = 1.6 kWh/m3, compared to 2.6 kWh/m3 under other conditions. Conclusion: Using SS mesh electrodes was very effective in color removal for MB under optimal conditions. The present study showed that increasing the steel mesh size improved the conditions for color removal and reduced the energy consumption. Therefore, it is suggested that steel mesh be used as an electrode for electrochemical processes.
Original Article: Degradation of reactive red 198 from aqueous solutions by advanced oxidation process: O3, O3/H2O2, and persulfate
Mohammad Amin Karami, Mohammad Mehdi Amin, Heshmatollah Nourmoradi, Mohsen Sadani, Fahime Teimouri, Bijan Bina
Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the degradation of an azo dye, reactive red 198 (RR198), by ozone, H2O2/O3, and persulfate from aqueous solutions. Materials and Methods: The application of several advanced oxidation processes including single ozonation, O3/H2O2, and persulfate for degradation of RR198 at concentration of 200 mg/L was investigated. The effect of various parameters including pH, H2O2, persulfate doses, and temperature was studied on the degradation of RR198 from aqueous solutions. In addition, the effects of these processes on biodegradability of RR198 were evaluated. Results: The results showed that the degradation rate was increased by increasing H2O2 concentration. The optimum H2O2 concentration was obtained in the range of 0.03 mol/L at dye concentration of 200 mg/L. Alkaline pH, higher temperature, and persulfate dose (12 mM) were favored in dye and COD removal. Moreover, compared with ozone and peroxone, the persulfate oxidation could achieve a higher color and COD removal at the same reaction time. Persulfate has greater potential to improve the biodegradability of RR198 solution than ozone and ozone/H2O2 process. Biochemical oxygen demand/COD ratio of the dye solution treated by persulfate, ozone/H2O2, and ozone at reaction time 40 min was 0.73, 0.63, and 0.59, respectively. Conclusion: These findings show that oxidation by persulfate is a promising alternative for the treatment of RR198 containing solution as a recalcitrant pollutant.

Results: Based on data obtained, 1335 kg of medical wastes is daily generated in Gachsaran County of which 563 kg are infected and 772 kg are noninfected. A minor part of medical wastes are incinerated or delivered to the municipality untreated. However, the major part is hydroclaved. The largest medical center in the region is Shahid Rajaei Hospital located in Dogonbadan city and infected wastes from the whole region are sent to this center to be hydroclaved. Conclusion: In conclusion, the quantity of infected wastes in the region is higher when compared to other cities in Iran. The high quantity of infected wastes may be a result of poor separation of infected and noninfected wastes by personnel due to lack of required knowledge.
Original Article: Risk assessment of the growth of Clostridium botulinum and spores germination induced by high hydrostatic pressure in seafood
Mohammad Jalali, Keith Warriner, Zahra Esfandiari
Aims: In the present study, a risk assessment for growth of Clostridium botulinum in model seafood deli salads was performed along with the effect of growth of resident microbes on the intrinsic and extrinsic properties of the product. Furthermore, high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) was applied to induce the germination of the surrogate spores. Materials and Methods: Five batches of seafood deli salads were stored at 4°C for up to 42 days, with samples being withdrawn periodically for microbial and chemical analysis. The extrinsic (oxygen content of the headspace) and intrinsic (redox potential, pH, and water activity) properties were determined along with microbial counts (total viable counts [TVCs], yeast and mold, lactic acid bacteria) over the product shelf-life. The data generated were then uploaded into a predictive model, and the potential growth of C. botulinum was assessed under different storage conditions. Furthermore, product inoculated with Bacillus atrophaeus was pressure treated at 400, 500, and 600 MPa for 1, 2, and 3 min at 20°C. Results: From analysis of the deli salads during storage at 4°C, the TVC remained below 2 log colony forming unit (CFU)/g with no lactic acid bacteria being detected. The yeast and mold count progressively increased during the storage period attaining 6 log CFU/g at the end of the 45-day storage period. There was no change in the pH and oxidation-reduction potential of the deli salads during storage. Predictive model indicated that in storage at 4°C and pH 5.1 and a water activity of 0.974, the generation time was 561.37 h. Only one log spore germination induction was observed when HHP treatment was performed at 600 MPa for 3 min. Conclusions: From predictive modeling, it was determined that based on the intrinsic and extrinsic factors of stored deli salad, the growth of C. botulinum was unlikely. In addition, the application of HHP did not significantly induce germination of the surrogate spores.

Hasan Asilian Mahabadi, Bahram Kamarehie, Ahmad Jonidi Jafari
Aims: This research was done to assess the dechlorination and destruction of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in real-waste transformer oil via microwave (MW) radiation. Materials and Methods: The influence of MW power, reaction time, polyethylene glycol, zero-valent iron powder, sodium hydroxide (NaOH), and water (H 2 O) were investigated on the dechlorination and destruction efficiency of PCBs in real-waste transformer oil under MW radiation. Results: The findings show that polyethylene glycol and NaOH have great influence on destruction of PCBs. However, iron (Fe) did not have any influence, and H 2 O decreased the destruction efficiency of PCBs. Moreover, experimental data showed that with optimum amount of variables [ie, polyethylene glycol (PEG) = 5.4 g, NaOH = 1.13g, Fe = 0.6g, H 2 O = 0.8 mL, and MW power of 800 W], more than 99.9% of PCBs were destructed at reaction time of 6 min. Furthermore, destruction of PCBs in the absence of water increased up to 100% after 6 min. Conclusion: Accordingly, results showed that MW radiation and reactants (PEG and NaOH) were very important factors for the destruction of PCBs from real-waste transformer oil.

Gholamreza Bonyadinejad, Mohsen Khosravi, Afshin Ebrahimi, Seyed Mahmood Taghavi-Shahri, Roya Nateghi
Aims: The sonoelectrochemical mineralization of the synthetic aqueous solution of the perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) on Ti/PbO 2 anode was investigated using the response surface methodology based on a central composite design (CCD). Materials and Methods: The CCD was performed using three different variables such as current density (CD) (mA/cm 2 ), pH, and supporting electrolyte (EL) concentration (mM). The total organic carbon (TOC) removal was determined as an indicator of PFOA mineralization. A Shimadzu TOC analyzer was used to measure the TOC of the samples. The Ti/PbO 2 electrode was prepared using the electrochemical deposition method. In order to enhance the electrochemical mineralization, ultrasonic (US) radiation was used. The US frequency was 20 kHz. Results: The optimum conditions for PFOA mineralization in synthetic solution were EL concentration of 94 mM, pH of 2, and CD of 83.64 mA/cm 2 , which resulted in complete TOC removal. The results indicated that the most effective factor for PFOA mineralization was CD. Besides, the TOC removal efficiency significantly increased with increasing CD. Conclusions: Under optimum conditions, the mineralization of PFOA was almost completed after 90 min of sonoelectrolysis. Therefore, sonoelectrolysis was found to be a more effective technique for mineralization of an environmentally persistent compound.

Farhad Forouharmajd, Zahra Mohammadi
Aims: The purpose of the present work was to consider the effect of different samples thicknesses on the acoustic absorption coefficient. Materials and Methods: An impedance tube was built with two microphones accordance to ISO-10534 and the American Society for Testing Materials-E1050 standards. For the measurement of absorption, the study was carried for 25 and 30 mm thicknesses of closed cell polyurethane foam, polystyrene, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), rubber, mineral wool, carpet, and glass samples. Measurements were performed by impedance tube and VA-lab4 software. Results: In carpet and mineral wool with more thickness, the absorption was increased but, the carpet with less thickness showed more sound absorption in the frequency range of 1500-3600 Hz. The peak of the absorption coefficient of 25 mm glass was 0.36 that the amount was reduced to 0.2 in the 30 mm thickness. Furthermore, the difference between the peak absorption of two thicknesses in polystyrene sample was equal to 0.29. In fact, polystyrene with less thickness had better sound absorption. The same situation was happened for glass in frequencies of below 4500 Hz with less thickness. Conclusion: Incident sound energy, which is not absorbed, must be reflected, transmitted, or dissipated. The porous materials had a higher absorption coefficient. Carpet and mineral wool samples had the highest absorption coefficient, but the materials such as polyurethane foam, PVC, and rubber had lower sound absorption.

Masoumeh Moheb Shahrestani, Amir Rahimi
Aims: In present study, the mass transfer-reaction kinetic parameters of nitric oxide (NO) removal by ultraviolet (UV)/H 2 O 2 process in a bubble column reactor in the presence of SO 2 are calculated. Materials and Methods: The mass balance equation for NO through a layer thickness of δ, under the steady state condition is solved, and NO absorption rate is calculated. The value of rate constants and Ha numbers are obtained based on experimental data under different conditions. Results: The calculations indicate that the values of Ha number are >3. The values of rate constants (k obs) are fitted to some empirical equations for different operating conditions. It is observed that the value of k obs increases with an increase in H 2 O 2 concentration and UV radiation intensity while it decreases with an increase in NO and SO 2 inlet concentrations. The values of rate constants are in order of 10−5 , expect for SO 2 , which are in order of 10−7 . The results reveal that there is a good agreement between calculated and experimental values where the maximum absolute error is 16.18% related to UV light intensities between 0 and 0.012 W/m 3 . Conclusion: The obtained values of Ha numbers under different condition confirm that the absorption process of gas in the liquid phase is a fast reaction. The maximum error values resulted from a comparison between the calculated NO absorption rates and the experimental ones are acceptable.

Shahla Ghorbani, Yaghoub Hajizadeh
Aims: This research was conducted to measure the concentration of asbestos fibers in the ambient air of high traffic areas of Isfahan and to evaluate their spatio-temporal variation during summer 2015. Materials and Methods: Air samples were collected from eleven points covering traffic areas of the Isfahan city including Enghelab square, Azadi square, Bozorgmehr bridge, Ghods square, Ahmedabad square, Artesh square, Emam Hossein square, Nazar junction, Vafaei junction, Felezzi bridge, and Tayyeb fork during 3 months of summer 2015. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) coupled to an energy dispersive X-ray system was utilized to count and identify the asbestos fibers. Results: Seasonal average concentration of airborne asbestos fibers in the studied region was 10.04 ± 4.90 SEM f/l. The results of this study showed that the highest concentration of asbestos fibers was measured in Azadi square (18.08 ± 3.863 SEM f/l) and that the lowest was found in Nazar junction(3.92 ± 1.749 SEM f/l). There was a significant correlation between the concentration of asbestos fibers and atmospheric temperature and humidity (P < 0.05). The mean concentration in September was higher than August and July (11.08 ± 4.66). Conclusion: Heavy traffic in the dense areas of the city, and topographical and meteorological features of the city have a major contribution in asbestos fiber emission which resulted in its exceeded levels from the WHO guideline (2.2 SEM f/l). Therefore, effective strategies such as traffic management, industrial movement, and products replacement can be effective in reducing airborne asbestoses fibers concentrations.
Original Article: Measurement of airborne asbestos levels in high traffic areas of Shiraz, Iran, in winter 2014
Mohammad Kazem Fathi Fathabadi, Yaghoub Hajizadeh
Aims: Levels of asbestos fibers in ambient air of dense areas of Shiraz, Iran, were monitored in winter 2014. Materials and Methods: Sampling was carried out by directing air flow to a mixed cellulose ester membrane filter mounted on an open-faced filter holder using a low flow sampling pump. Fiber counting on the filters was conducted using both phase contrast microscopy (PCM) method to determine total fibers and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) method to identify nonasbestos from asbestos fibers. Results: The average concentration of asbestos fibers in the ambient air of the study in different areas of Shiraz were 1.18 ± 0.28 PCM f/L and 13.64 ± 2.87 SEM f/L, in which a maximum level was measured in Valiasr square (1.89 ± 0.54 PCM f/L [20.37 ± 5.55 SEM f/L]), and that of in Moallem square was in minimum (1.05 ± 0.47 PCM f/L [12.24 ± 3.04 SEM f/L]). Conclusions: The averages of asbestos fibers in all sampling points were higher than the WHO suggested standards for ambient air (0.05 PCM f/L, 2.2 SEM f/L). This may be attributed to the frequent occurrence of heavy traffic, the existence of relevant industries in and around the city, and the topographic characteristics of the city. Therefore, immediate courses of action such as product substitution, traffic smoothing, and industrial sites relocating should be taken to eliminate asbestos fibers emission.
Original Article: A comparative study between dried anaerobic digested sludge and dried activated sludge for the removal of 4-chlorophenol from aqueous solutions
Vahid Reza Fanaie, Mohsen Karrabi, Mohammad Mehdi Amin, Bahar Shahnavaz, Ali Fatehizadeh
Aims: In this study, the adsorption capacity of dried anaerobic digested sludge (DADS) and dried activated sludge (DAS) for the removal of 4-chlorophenol (4-CP) from aqueous solutions was evaluated. Materials and Methods: Both anaerobic digested sludge and activated sludge were collected from a south municipal wastewater treatment plant in Isfahan. Batch biosorption experiments were carried out to investigate the effects of solution pH, contact time, biosorbent dosage and initial concentration of 4-CP. The residual concentration of 4-CP was analyzed by colorimetry method. Isotherms and kinetic equations were applied to study kinetic and equilibrium of adsorption. Results: Results indicated that, DAS have higher removal potential in comparison with DADS. The optimum pH was detected to be 3 for DADS and 4 for DAS. By increasing contact time and biosorbent dosage, removal efficiency of 4-CP increased for both biosorbents. Furthermore, a decreasing trend was observed when initial concentrations were increased. The equilibrium time for DAS was 2.5 h and for DADS was 4 h. The maximum adsorption capacity were found 1.67 mg/g for DAS and 0.93 mg/g for DADS. The 4-CP removal equilibrium isotherm was modeled by Freundlich equation. Kinetic studies suggested that pseudo-first-order model for DADS and second order for DAS were the best choices to describe biosorption behavior. Conclusion: According to the present study, DAS, have better efficiency for the removal of 4-CP in comparisons with DADS.

Aims: The aim of this study was the evaluation of adsorption kinetics and equilibrium of reactive blue 19 dyes from textile synthetic wastewater by pomegranate seed powder. Materials and Methods: This study is an experimental research, which was performed in laboratory scale. In this study, the parameters such as adsorbent dose, pH and retention time, initial concentration of dye and agitation rate have been investigated. After washing and boiling of pomegranate seeds for 2 h, they dried, milled and finally pulverized by standard ASTM sieves (40-100 mesh). Maximum adsorption wave length (λmax ) by spectrophotometer ultra violet/visible (model SP-3000 Plus) 592 nm was determined. The Langmuir, Freundlich and Temkin isotherm models and the pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order kinetic models were analyzed. Results: According to results, the removal efficiency with adsorbent dose, retention time and agitation rate has a direct relation. Maximum adsorption occurred in the first 60 min. The removal efficiency with initial concentration of dye and pH of solution has indirect relation. The Freundlich isotherm fits the experimental data better than the other isotherms. It was recognized that the adsorption followed by pseudo-second-order model (R2 > 0.99). Conclusion: Based on the results, pomegranate seeds as a new natural sorbent can be used in removal of dye and other environmental pollutants with desirable absorption capacity.
Original Article: Evaluating the transmitted vibration to operator's hands hand and effect of protective gloves in real condition, based on International Standard Organization 5349 standard
Farhad Forouharmajd, Hiva Azmoon, Jafar Akbari, Shiva Soury
Aims: The objective of this research was an evaluation of hand-held tools vibration acceleration such as circular saw and drill transmitted to operator's and also to determine the role of glove in vibration reduction of those tools. Materials and Methods: In this study, Bruel and Kjaer Vibration meter with a model of 2231 and its analyzer, 2522, along three types of gloves have been used. Accelerometer transducer installed according to International Standard Organization (ISO) 5349:1-2 standards in the case of the operator handles the hand-held tool. In next step, the transducer was placed inside the glove. Results: The results show the most accelerated vibration in axis Y for circular saw while working on Plexiglas. All of the used gloves show a reduction of vibration transmission from tools to hands. Glove of C grouped had a reduction of vibration less than two other groups. Conclusion: Based on ISO 5349-1, 10% of workers who are working with circular saw and drill without using glove will be affiliated to white finger after about 7-12 years. As a whole, the results showed that the anti-vibration gloves should be tested in real conditions before using them.
Original Article: Comparison between distilled water and dimethylformamid as solvent to fabricate electrodes coated with single wall carbon nanotubes
Hajar Pourgheysari, Hamidreza Pourzamani, Afshin Ebrahimi, Gholamreza Bonyadinezhad
Aims: In this study, distilled water and dimethylformamid (DMF), an organic solvent, have been compared in different characteristics to be used as the best solvent during EPD. Materials and Methods: Electrical conductivity (EC) of both solutions was compared by dissolving electrolyte and measuring the EC. Ability of dispersion was determined after sonication in different times. Distilled water, DMF and two mixtures of them were utilized in EPD process and in deposition time of 1-5 min. The electrode weight was measured before and after the EPD and the deposit rate was estimated. Results: Among the used solvents, DMF caused a better yield (0.4 mg/cm 2 ) at the optimum deposition time of 4 min. Though it did not have the ability of dissolving electrolyte and could not make an electrical field during EPD; it did not cause the electrode's oxidation. Distilled water and mixtures with water resulted in electrode oxidation with no deposition. Their yield was zero or less which indicated the electrodes oxidation. € According to the results, for having a good and stable dispersion through sonication, making an electrode with a homogeneous deposition via EPD process, preventing of electrode's oxidation, and better temperature control DMF is recommended.
Original Article: Bactericidal effect of starch-stabilized zero-valent iron nanoparticles on Escherichia coli
Mohammad Mosaferi, Roya Zarei, Mohammad Hosein Soroush Barhagi, Mohammad Asghari Jafar-abadi, Alireza Khataee
Aims: The present study reports the antibacterial efficiency of starch-stabilized nano scale zero-valent iron (S-NZVI) particles on Escherichia coli. Materials and Methods: NZVI was synthesized using NaBH 4 and FeSO 4 .7H 2 O, and characterized by scanning electron microscopy, as well as X-ray diffraction. The effects of concentration, contact time, dissolved oxygen, and stabilization were tested. E. coli was determined by the pour plate method. Results: The results revealed that the complete inactivation (100%) of E. coli was occurred at using 100 mg/l of NZVI after 30 min under anaerobic condition. The inactivation efficiency was decreased in an aerobic condition. When NZVI concentration increased to 500 and 1000 mg/L, complete inactivation was achieved under both anaerobic and aerobic condition. In general, E. coli inactivation efficiency using NZVI was strongly dependent on the contact time and the concentration of NZVI particles with its maximum efficiency at 500 mg/L within 120 min. Stabilization-NZVI by starch did not improve its bactericidal activity and the inactivation of E. coli by stabilized nanoparticles required higher concentration compared to that by nonstabilized nanoparticles. Conclusion: The present study showed that nonstabilized Fe 0 nanoparticles have higher bactericidal efficiency than that of S-NZVI. This investigation also suggests that NZVI can be used as an effective and strong agent for antimicrobial applications.
Original Article: The effectiveness of "theory of planned behavior" in training the correct principles of manual material handling
Maryam Jafari Kuchi, Mehdi Zare, Teamur Aghamolaei
Aims: In this study, which was done in Persian Gulf Mining and Metal Industries Special Economic Zone, the efficiency of "theory of planned behavior" in training the correct principles of manual material handling was investigated. Materials and Methods: To perform this semi-experimental study, based on the theory of planned behavior and method of manual material handling required questionnaires were prepared. After preliminary studies and determining the reliability and validity of questionnaires, the appropriate study population was selected from the workers, and the questionnaires were filled up through interviews. Results: The results showed that subjective norms (safety factor = 0.51, P < 0.001) are the predictors of behavior intention (performing manual material handling correctly) and behavioral control, as well as behavioral intention, are appropriate predictors for behavior change. Conclusion: This study confirms the efficiency of the theory of planned behavior in modifying the workers' manual material handling behavior. But since all constructs of the theory of planned behavior could not predict the behavioral intention for correct manual material handling, it can be concluded that for changing the behavioral intention, other theories also should be taken into consideration.

Q: sqlalchemy - How to select count from a union query My goal is that I have two tables, each describes a relationship between a user and either a "team" or "company"
If there are any rows that says "admin" in the tables for the userid, then I want to know that, otherwise if no rows then i need to know that as well.
What I have so far is as follows (UserTeamLink and UserCompanyLink) are Orm tabels.
obj = UserTeamLink
q1 = session.query(func.count(obj.type).label("cnt")).filter(obj.type == 'admin').filter(obj.user_id == id) ; str(q1) ; q1.all()
obj = UserCompanyLink
q2 = session.query(func.count(obj.type).label("cnt")).filter(obj.type == 'admin').filter(obj.user_id == id) ; str(q2) ; q2.all()

my_union = q1.union_all(q2)
query = select([func.sum(my_union.c.cnt).label("total_cnt")], from_obj=my_union)
query.all()

however, the line "query = select([func.sum(my_union.c.cnt).label("total_cnt")], from_obj=my_union)" breaks with:
AttributeError: 'BaseQuery' object has no attribute 'c'

The entire output is as follows:
>>> obj = UserTeamLink
>>> q1 = session.query(func.count(obj.type).label("cnt")).filter(obj.type == 'admin').filter(obj.user_id == id) ; str(q1) ; q1.all()
'SELECT count(user_team.type) AS cnt \nFROM user_team \nWHERE user_team.type = :type_1 AND user_team.user_id = :user_id_1'
[(0L,)]
>>> obj = UserCompanyLink
>>> q2 = session.query(func.count(obj.type).label("cnt")).filter(obj.type == 'admin').filter(obj.user_id == id) ; str(q2) ; q2.all()
'SELECT count(user_company.type) AS cnt \nFROM user_company \nWHERE user_company.type = :type_1 AND user_company.user_id = :user_id_1'
[(0L,)]
>>>
>>> my_union = q1.union_all(q2)
>>> query = select([func.sum(my_union.c.cnt).label("total_cnt")], from_obj=my_union)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: 'BaseQuery' object has no attribute 'c'

Is there a way to fix this?
In summary what I'm attempting to do is select counts from both tables, then union into another table and then add them.
Thank you.

A: You need to use my_union as subquery
my_union = q1.union_all(q2).subquery()
query = select([func.sum(my_union.c.cnt).label("total_cnt")], from_obj=my_union)

A: Here's my own problem solved, I used a slightly different approach than @r-m-n's however I think both should work:
    q_union = q1.union_all(q2)
    q_union_cnt = db.session.query(func.sum(q_union.subquery().columns.cnt).label("total_cnt"))
    admin_points = q_union_cnt.scalar()

NHL top pick Aaron Ekblad sidelined with concussion at junior exhibition game
BY foxsports • August 6, 2014
BROSSARD, Quebec -- Top NHL draft pick Aaron Ekblad suffered a concussion in Canada's world junior exhibition game against the Czech Republic and will miss the rest of summer development camp.
The 18-year-old defenseman was hit hard during Monday night's 6-2 win over the Czech Republic and left the game.
Hockey Canada says Ekblad is expected to be ready for Florida Panthers training camp in September. Panthers general manager Dale Tallon echoed those sentiments, saying ''We will closely monitor Aaron's health for the remainder of the offseason and expect him to be ready for our rookie camp in mid-September.''
Ekblad played last season with the OHL's Barrie Colts.

Akin and Mourdock Are the Mainstream of Today's GOP
Let's get one thing straight. GOP Senate candidates Richard Mourdock and Todd Akin did not lose their races on Tuesday because they are extreme right-wingers whose opposition to abortion, even in the case of women who become pregnant as a result of being raped, is considered beyond the pale. Nor did they lose because of verbal gaffes about rape—although Akin's creative understanding of the female reproductive system should have been enough to disqualify him for a seat in the U.S. Senate, or in freshman biology.
No, Mourdock and Akin lost because they each made the mistake of actually trying to explain an increasingly common position by Republican officer-holders, including Paul Ryan.
I heard a lot last night and this morning about how the Mourdock and Akin defeats show that Americans don't like inflammatory rhetoric about abortion or that Republicans need to do a better job recruiting more normal candidates. But those two men weren't inflammatory. Akin's comments about rape were stupid, but not intentionally inflammatory. And I've explained why I think Mourdock's remarks reflected a consistent view for someone who believes that life begins at conception.
It seems to me that abortion rights supporters are missing the point and the opportunity here. It's not unusual for GOP politicians to oppose rape exceptions. But they haven't previously had to defend that position—at least not on a big stage. When they are forced to explain themselves, as in the case of Akin and Mourdock, it's not their words that alienate voters, but the idea of forcing women to carry to term a pregnancy that began in rape. Americans can hold mixed positions on abortion in tandem—many continue to believe that abortion is morally wrong but should remain legal. Likewise, voters can support abortion restrictions while at the same time opposing the idea that a rape victim should have to carry her rapist's baby.
Support thought-provoking, quality journalism. Join The New Republic for $3.99/month.
Republicans can—and really should—try to recruit future candidates who are a little less wack-a-doodle. And GOP politicians will no doubt be a little more careful before they say anything that involves the word "rape." But as long as opposition to rape exceptions remains a mainstream position for Republican officeholders, the GOP's abortion problem is here to stay.

A 25-year-old man who police say went on a "violent crime spree" Sunday (April 23) is accused of second-degree murder in connection to a fatal shooting on Elysian Fields Avenue that New Orleans police were initially investigating as a separate incident.
Charles Williams is now accused in a total of four shootings that left six people injured, including an NOPD officer.
The Orleans Parish Coroner's office identified the man killed in the 2400 block of Elysian Fields Avenue as Lil'Ricky Goins, 38. Goins was shot at an unknown location, according to NOPD Chief Michael Harrison, but crashed on Elysian Fields Avenue while trying to drive away.
Goins collided into a black Lincoln Town Car and two people were injured, but Harrison said both were in stable condition Sunday night. Four other vehicles were involved in the crash, according to one woman whose car was hit, but NOPD spokesman Gary Scheets said none of the other vehicles were suspected to be involved in the shootings.
Williams is also accused of shooting three people on a porch in the 1900 block of St. Roch Avenue and a man who was shot in the face in the 1400 block of North Derbigny Street. According to Harrison, Williams also shot at officers who were investigating the scene on St. Roch Avenue, and one officer suffered from a graze wound.
Police chased Williams through the city, until he crashed the stolen Toyota Corolla he was driving in Mid-City.
A man on a "violent crime spree" was responsible for shooting at least 5 of the victims, NOPD said.
The injured officer is in good condition, Harrison said, and the three people shot on the porch were reported in stable condition Sunday night. As of Monday morning, the condition of the man who was shot in the 1400 block of North Derbigny Street was not known.
Police also said Williams is responsible for at least one armed carjacking in the 1700 block of Desire Parkway.
Williams was booked into Orleans Justice Center jail shortly before 5:30 a.m. Monday on one charge of second-degree murder, according to online court records. Court records show he was also booked on 11 driving violations, including hit and run and reckless operation of a motor vehicle.
As of Monday morning, court records do not show charges related to the other shootings or the carjackings.
According to Harrison, Williams began the crime spree after being involved in a "domestic issue." Williams' violent acts started shortly before 4:30 p.m. and ended with his apprehension about 6 p.m.

Top 3 Buyers & Sellers at NHL Trade Deadline
Posted by Mitch Hill | Jan 20, 2023 | NHL
The NHL trade deadline is inching closer and closer. March 3rd will be here before we know it and Stanley Cup contenders will be looking to add either depth or difference-makers while rebuilding teams will want to get rid of expiring contracts or players who wish to have a playoff opportunity.
Being able to make these moves is crucial to a franchise's future success. Here are the top three buyers and sellers at this year's NHL trade deadline.
Minnesota Wild (BUYER)
The Minnesota Wild currently find themselves in third place in the Central Division with 54 points. They are five points out of the division lead with $3.7 million in cap space currently. This will allow the Wild to add depth to both their offense and defense to an already potent roster. They will absolutley be a buyer at the NHL trade deadline.
Buffalo Sabres (BUYER)
The Buffalo Sabres have found themselves exceeding expectations this season. They have 45 points and will be pushing for a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. What makes Buffalo very intriguing to be a possible buyer at the deadline is their massive $18.8 million available cap space. This makes Buffalo an intriguing landing spot for a veteran with a massive cap hit. Possible Patrick Kane sighting in Buffalo.
New York Rangers (BUYER)
The New York Rangers almost made a Stanley Cup run last season and knew they were missing veterans and scoring depth in the playoffs. With $1.2 million in cap space currently, this team who is sitting in third in the Metropolitan Division will be looking to make moves at the deadline. Whether it is a massive star splash or veteran depth, expect the Rangers to make some moves at the deadline this season.
Philadelphia Flyers (SELLER)
Philadelphia with head coach John Tortorella has exceeded expectations this season. They currently have 45 points and sit six points out of a playoff spot. However, even with all that success the Flyers are looking to get rid of some massive veteran contracts that may be weighing the future of this franchise down. Expect Philadelphia to shop James Van Riemsdyk who has a $7 million cap hit this season.
Chicago Blackhawks (SELLER)
With two of the biggest names in the sport Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews, Chicago looks to have all the makings of a massive seller by this deadline. Both Kane and Toews are set to have a $10.5 million cap hit this season and both have a no-movement clause. If the Blackhawks can find trade partners for them and for Kane and Toews expect these two players to find this to be their last season in Chicago.
San Jose Sharks (SELLER)
The Sharks currently have 37 points on the season which is fourth to last in the Western Conference. They have one of the most dynamic defensemen this season in Erik Karlsson who has an $11.5 million cap hit this season. He along with other veterans are expected to be on the move in March to help jumpstart the San Jose rebuild. The NHL trade deadline should feature a few guys moved from the Sharks.

A Tour De France First: An African Team Will Compete This Year
An African team will be featured for the first time ever in this year's Tour de France: South Africa's MTN-Qhubeka received a wild card today from race organizers.
"OK, we had [Kenya-born Briton] Chris Froome win the 2013 Tour de France, [South African] Daryl Impey wore the yellow jersey, but to have a whole team in the Tour de France … for Africa and South Africa, it's going to be huge," MTN General Manager Brian Smith told VeloNews.
MTN-Qhubeka, which made its Grand Tour debut in the Vuelta in 2014, was one of five teams to receive Tour de France wild cards; the other four are: German team Bora-Argon 18, and French teams Cofidis, Europcar and Bretagne-Seche Environnement.
The wild cards join the 17 UCI World Tour teams that have already qualified for the world's most prestigious cycling race that begins in July.
Africans on the nine-man MTN-Qhubeka team include South African Louis Meintjes and Eritreans Merhawi Kudus and Natnael Berhane, the two-time African champion. Others on the squad include Norwegian Edvald Boasson Hagen, Australian Matthew Goss and American Tyler Farrar.
MTN-Qhubeka, which is backed by Samsung, helps promote the Qhubeka project, which distributes bicycles to rural African children.

ZAK ABEL

Styling by KAMRAN RAJPUT
Words by ELLY WATSON
Zak wears top by TOMMY JEANS.
On a scale of one to Fifty Shades of Grey, Zak Abel considers his next song to be a solid eight. "I could have gone filthier, but I tried to reign it in," he tells me over the phone. "I feel like the mums will be into it and they'll also be grateful that their eight-year-olds can listen to it and have no idea what it's about. It's fun for all the family!"
With the title still TBC, it's the latest track to come from his highly-anticipated second album, the follow up to last year's debut Only When We're Naked. While his first album shone with funk-filled pop melodies exploring his vulnerability, Abel is looking to further experiment on his next. "I'm trying to just push myself as much as possible," he elaborates. "I want to take more risks with the songwriting and talk about things that I wanted to talk about in the past but was a little bit scared or thought it wasn't my place to talk about. Now I'm just like 'Fuck it, I'll give it a go!'"
This shifted ethos is clear on his track "Love Song", another from his upcoming record. Described as his first "angry song", it details the feeling of pulling yourself away from a negative person or situation. "I was pretty pissed!" He laughs. "I try to stick to the whole 'peace and love' thing but sometimes you do feel angry as a human being and you can't suppress those things. I don't feel like that anymore, I'm quite calm at the moment, but I'm grateful for the opportunity to be angry in the studio for a day."
Zak wears top by URBAN OUTFITTERS.
No stranger to depicting emotion, Abel's first LP was inspired by his desire to be more real and vulnerable. "I kind of feel like we all put up barriers and it's like a defence mechanism," he explains. "It's only when we take down those barriers and are open and vulnerable - it's only when we're naked - that we can have authentic relationships and meaningful connections with other people. When I think about pop music, I think of music which is popular and reaches more people, so I try to talk about things that are meaningful to me. I'm aware that many people are listening, so I try to talk about it in a way that everyone can understand."
With such clear views on how he wants to use his songs to connect to people, it's hard to think that the London-based artist ever had plans to do anything other than music, but Abel grew up with dreams of making hits another way. "From nine to 15, I was truly set on being the world's greatest table tennis player of all time!" He tells me. And he wasn't too far off, winning the national Under 15 singles and Under 18 doubles titles between 2008 to 2010. However, as he reached his mid-teens, the urge to make music began to overpower him. "It was only from the age of 14 to 15 when the music bug contaminated me and I was like 'I think this is what I want to do for the rest of my life,'" he explains. "I felt like there was a creativity aspect which I wasn't really getting out of table tennis."
Other perks include no more early morning workout sessions: "I remember one of my first recording sessions was at 10 o'clock and I was like 'Oh my god, this is so late, I can wake up way later!' It was marvellous." He recalls. "I got there and the guy I was working with turned up at like 20 past and I was like 'Oh my god, he's late, he's late for a music session,' and I looked at the engineer and he was like 'Mate, he's not late, he's actually early.' 20 minutes late in the music industry is early apparently?"
Now perfectly in tune with the music industry (and its rough grasp of start times), Abel's soulful pop stylings are seeing him being further catapulted into full-on heart-throb status. And with the "naughtiest song [he's] ever written" set to wow, is he ready to step into that role? "Maybe!" He laughs. "Maybe this is my time! I'm ready for it…"

Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger on future: 'All signs point to this could be it'
By The Athletic Staff
Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger said Monday night's game versus the Browns will likely be his final game at Heinz Field.
"I don't ever speak in definites or guarantees. That's just not what I've ever done or who I am," he told reporters Thursday morning. "But looking at the bigger picture, I would say that all signs point to this could be it. Regular season, that is. I know we still have a chance to potentially get a playoff game there if things fall our way and we take care of business and things have to happen. But in the grand scheme of things, in terms of regular season, signs are pointing that way that this could be it."
The Steelers are 7-7-1, fresh off a blowout loss to the Chiefs. Roethlisberger, known as Big Ben, has completed 65.2 percent of his passes for 3,373 yards, 20 TDs, eight interceptions and a 90.2 passer rating this season.
The 39-year-old played college football at Miami University and was drafted by the Steelers in the first round of the 2004 NFL Draft. He has spent his entire career in Pittsburgh, winning two Super Bowls. He is a six-time Pro Bowler.

Did Ben Roethlisberger leave the door cracked open for a return, or he is done for good?
It's personal: Isn't it fitting that the Browns are the opponent for Ben Roethlisberger's last home game?
Most memorable Big Ben moment at Heinz Field
Mark Kaboly, Steelers senior writer: Over an 18-year span, there are plenty, including two AFC Championship Game wins over a span of three years. There was the dive into the end zone his rookie year against the Browns that signified his arrival and too-many-to-count game-winning drives. But individually, in 2014, when he became the first quarterback ever to put together consecutive six-touchdown-pass games in wins over the Colts and Ravens, has to be up there. He threw for 862 yards in two games.
What's the Steelers' future at QB post-Roethlisberger?
Kaboly: Right now it is Mason Rudolph, but an offseason can change that. The Steelers could entertain the thought of bringing in more of an established veteran, but anybody markedly better than Rudolph is a long shot. Finding a ready-to-go quarterback in the draft, even in the first round whether it is Kenny Pickett or Matt Corrall, also is unlikely, which brings it back to Rudolph. The Steelers added an extra year onto his rookie contract last year that assured them he will be back. Why do that if you didn't expect him to be your best option?
What are the Steelers' chances of making the playoffs?
Kaboly: They have as good a shot as anybody else in the division. It is just a matter of beating two teams that they already beat. It's not by coincidence (in my opinion) that Roethlisberger decided on this week as the time to make it known he is likely retiring. The Steelers need a kick start and Roethlisberger's acknowledgment that this might be his last home game might just be that.
