Boko Haram used 8,000 children in battles - UN report
'Intense and lasting' traumatic effects pose challenge in children's rehabilitation, reintegration
08.07.2019 15:55 World A- A A+
UN said at least 8,000 children have been recruited by the Boko Haram terrorist movement across the Lake Chad region in Central Africa since it launched its violent campaign in 2009, reports Anadoly Agency.
Sylvester Tunde Atere, national project officer of the UN Office on Drugs and Crimes (UNODC), said in a statement that the children were used by the group in combatant and noncombatant roles.
"Recruitment and exploitation have a long-lasting impact on children's lives," the statement said.
"Today, rehabilitating and reintegrating these children pose significant challenges, not only in view of their number, but also due to the intense and lasting traumatic effects," it added.
The UNODC accused Daesh-affiliated Boko Haram of raping or forcing teenage girls into marriage.

Its that time of year again. Spring on its way the only way is up for our hops, which have sat dormant over the winter months conserving thier energy ready for the warmer times ahead.
With this in mind, its time to start stringing. With the hope that by spring all off the gardens will be finished and awaiting the first shoots of the 2019 crop. And with 11 gardens and over 50 acres to string its no small job.
All it takes is one man, a pole and a bag, to work his way through miles and miles of string, getting the garden ready for the hops to start on thier upward journey. But this job is not for the faint hearted, getting the technique right and to be able to work at a consistant speed is something of an art. And is not everybodys cup of tea.
Here's an old clip from the 1961 stringing competition making it look easy. These days there is less brylcream but the method hasnt changed a bit.
Watch this space for the upcoming Hukins hops Stringing compitition!!!!

About The Notorious B.I.G....
Christopher George Latore Wallace (May 21, 1972 – March 9, 1997), better known by his stage names the Notorious B.I.G., Biggie Smalls, or simply Biggie, was an American rapper and songwriter. Rooted in the New York rap scene and gangsta rap traditions, he is widely considered one of the greatest rappers of all time. Wallace became known for his distinctive laidback lyrical delivery, offsetting the lyrics' often grim content. His music was often semi-autobiographical, telling of hardship and criminality, but also of debauchery and celebration.

Q: AngularJS simple preloader for ng-repeat? I have a div that shows a preloader. I want to hide that div only after all of my data has finished loading in my ng-repeat.
So far this is what I could piece together but the pieces are not working yet.
Is there another simple way to do this?
Plunker: http://plnkr.co/edit/ilgOZzIy2axSi5Iy85C7?p=preview
HTML:

      {{location.siteName}}

              {{listOfLocations}}

Controller:
App.controller('locationAccordionCtrl', function ($scope) {

  $scope.locations = [
    {
      "siteName":"First Location",
      "locationsList":['First Location 1', 'First Location 2', 'First Location 3']
    },
    {
      "siteName":"Second Location",
      "locationsList":['Second Location 1', 'Second Location 2', 'Second Location 3']
    },
    {
      "siteName":"Third Location",
      "locationsList":['Third Location 1', 'Third Location 2', 'Third Location 3']
    }
  ];

// Hide preloader after repeater is finished loading data
App.directive('onFinishRender', function ($timeout) {
    return {
        restrict: 'A',
        link: function (scope, element, attr) {
            if (scope.$last === true) {
                $timeout(function () {
                    scope.$emit('ngRepeatFinished');
                });
            }
        }
    }
});

// hide preloader
$scope.$on('ngRepeatFinished', function(ngRepeatFinishedEvent) {
    $scope.hidePreLoader = true;
});

});

A: here is how you can do this
    var App = angular.module('App.directives', []);
     App.directive('routeLoadingIndicator', function($rootScope){
       return {
       restrict:'E',
       template:"
Loading...
",
       link:function(scope, elem, attrs){
         scope.isRouteLoading = false;

         $rootScope.$on('$routeChangeStart', function(){
           scope.isRouteLoading = true;
         });

         $rootScope.$on('$routeChangeSuccess', function(){
           scope.isRouteLoading = false;
         });
       }
     };
    });

Stemming from the Middle Ages, the 'lunar lunacy effect' where the moon and its tides were widely believed to cause people to change into werewolves or vampires, has lately had a huge resurgence in popular culture. Sharp canines gnaw at the collective conscience, mirroring the darker side of the human psyche. Surfing this explosive wave of tide-driven mania, this exhibition brings together artists Linda Lencovic, Miranda Lopatkin and Nina Ogden, each exploring different aspects of lunacy and symbolism in the human psyche through painting, drawing and photography.
Miranda Lopatkin's dreamlike photography explores our masked emotions. Photographic projections and collages illuminate hidden stories and explore how individuals interact and play with the projections thrust upon them.
Influences behind Miranda Lopatkin's work.
Linda Lencovic's practice explores the construction and performance of belief in the public realm. Uncanny figures transcend the everyday to engage in ephemeral moments of magic, madness or miracle.
Influences behind Linda Lencovic's work.
Nina Ogden's drawings capture Sigmund Freud's preoccupation with animals, creating surreal narratives that use obsessive details culled from eggs, bees and tadpoles to examine how man and beast co-exist. There are limited edition prints available of three of Nina Ogden's drawings in the Transition Gallery Shop.
Influences behind Nina Ogdens work.


By now you know about my penchant for cheese. No, it is not the only thing that I eat. Hook and I both love to try different food when we travel, seeking out places frequented by locals and travelers in the know. Along with the local places, we mix in some fine dining to round out our experience.
The internet and travel forums have been invaluable in helping us research restaurants to try. So it is only fair that we contribute our own dining experiences to help other travelers.
We were a little taco'd-out and wanted something different… just plain grilled meat. Our fellow guests at Playa Azul Hotel who have been coming to Cozumel for many years raved about the steaks at this place, so we figured, why not?
It is a cozy place with a few tables outside and a few inside. We chose to dine inside in a/c to escape the humidity.
We both opted for sangria instead of wine. Apparently I had not learned my lesson yet… Yup, it is not the spanish type sangria that we are accustomed to. Once again it was red wine with lemonade, it seemed.
The steaks were very, very good… comparable to the fine steakhouses in the U.S. They have two types of meat for each steak choice, a "Nacionales" (ie. Mexican steak) and a "USDA". The Playa Azul guests told us to make sure we get the USDA type as it is much better, so we did.
The steaks did not disappoint. Hook ordered the churrasco steak, while I had the filet mignon. Both were perfectly cooked the way we ordered them.
Total bill was Mex$670 (roughly $54) including the gratuity — inexpensive for this kind of restaurant and the amount of food they give you!
Hook declared this to be his favorite restaurant. It will surely be on our restaurant list for future visits.

Solar array installation from SCHOTT Solar, VE Group and Affordable Solar biggest in NM
SCHOTT Solar PV, Inc., VE Group LLC and Affordable Solar Group LLC unveiled New Mexico's largest solar array (1.1MW) on The Bell Group's headquarters' parking structure in Albuquerque, NM. The project uses over 5000 locally made solar modules by SCHOTT Solar PV, Inc, a global leader in photovoltaic (PV) module manufacturing, with US headquarters in Albuquerque, NM.
(August 23, 2010) — SCHOTT Solar PV, Inc., VE Group LLC and Affordable Solar Group LLC unveiled New Mexico's largest solar array (1.1MW) on The Bell Group's headquarters' parking structure in Albuquerque, NM. The project uses over 5000 locally made solar modules by SCHOTT Solar PV, Inc, a global leader in photovoltaic (PV) module manufacturing, with US headquarters in Albuquerque, NM.
The installation covers 5 acres of parking area and will generate over 1,600,000 kWh of clean electricity annually — enough to meet 80% of The Bell Group's electricity needs. This locally generated clean energy will avoid approximately 1,125 tons of CO2 emissions annually, while the solar structures provide shaded parking for employee and visitor vehicles under the hot New Mexico sun. The project involved a significant number of jobs in the Albuquerque region by utilizing local manufacturers, contractors and subcontractors from various trades. Applied Materials (AMAT) in CA has a solar structure integrated over its parking lot as well (photo here).
The project implementation team consisted of Affordable Solar Group, Albuquerque-based solar equipment distributor and project developer; VE Group (Valley Electric), the prime contractor with offices in New Mexico and Colorado; and VE Group's local and regional subcontractors including Coupland-Moran Engineers, US Prefab, National Roofing and others who together carried the project from conception to completion. The Bell Group's facility management team provided support throughout all phases of the project.
SCHOTT Solar employs 340 people at its Albuquerque facility, Affordable Solar Group 35 employees in Albuquerque, and VE Group over 50 employees in New Mexico and Colorado, ma

ny of whom were employed by The Bell Group's solar project.
"As a business, we're always looking for ways to reduce our costs, and our new solar installation is lowering our electricity bills with clean, reliable energy generated by a local, high quality product," said Alan Bell, Managing Director of The Bell Group, an Albuquerque-based industrial distributor. "It also helps us to meet our responsibilities as a business committed to environmentally friendly practices and the local economy."
"SCHOTT Solar is committed to being part of a strong solar industry in Albuquerque and the United States and this project is a great example of creating jobs along the solar value chain – from the manufacture of solar panels to their installation on the Bell Group's parking lot," said Gerry Fine, president and CEO of SCHOTT Solar PV, Inc.. "Thanks to New Mexico's commitment to renewable energy, SCHOTT is creating good local jobs and a clean energy product that feeds back into Albuquerque to support the city's economy and environment."
"Solar projects like The Bell Group installation create great jobs drawing skilled tradespeople from a variety of construction disciplines. These jobs build up Albuquerque's clean energy economy and grow New Mexico's solar industry during this time when traditional construction projects are at a low point,"said Mark Hensley, president of VE Group (Valley Electric).
"PNM (local utility) and New Mexico state incentives for solar make local solar projects like The Bell Group project economically feasible. Using Albuquerque-made SCHOTT Solar PV panels helped us keep the transportation-related environmental impact as low as possible while providing our client with a high quality product," said David Hughes, president of Affordable Solar Group.

The Super Bowl's 2 Quarterbacks Are Tops in NFL for Endorsement Deals
BYMoney and Brad Tuttle
HOUSTON, TX - DECEMBER 22: Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning (18) gives the thumbs up after talking to Broncos tight end Julius Thomas (80) on the bench after throwing his record breaking 51st pass to him for a touchdown in the fourth quarter against the Houston Texans December 22, 2013 at Reliant Stadium.

Gatorade must be psyched. Among the sports drink brand's many spokespeople are Cam Newton and Peyton Manning, who just so happen to be the two starting quarterbacks in the year's most-watched football game, Super Bowl 50, on Feb. 7.
In other words, regardless of the outcome of this year's Super Bowl, Gatorade has already won thanks to increased exposure for the brand leading up to the big game—and perhaps afterward, with a strong likelihood that one of its spokesmen will be the Super Bowl MVP.
Because of the matchup at quarterback, Super Bowl 50 is being hyped as "a game for all ages, and likely one for the ages, too" by USA Today, and a huge changing of the guard in the league. On the one hand, there's "Old Man Peyton," as Wall Street Journal columnist Jason Gay put it, "a five-time MVP, a Super Bowl champ, and one of the most popular NFL players ever," who at 39 years old is clearly at the end of his career. On the other, there's the dynamic and powerful "26-year-old Newton, the presumed 2015 NFL MVP who has built a case as the best quarterback in the league."
The two may play the same position, but they couldn't be more different in terms of their approach, athleticism, and where they are in the arc of their careers. What they do have very much in common, however, is that they make big bucks by associating with major consumer brands—most obviously, Gatorade.
In fact, a report published by ESPN before the current NFL season began named Peyton Manning as the NFL's top dog in terms of endorsement deal money, with Cam Newton coming in second place, surpassing such perennial favorites as Drew Brees and Tom Brady. Manning earns $12 million annually from deals with brands like Nationwide Insurance and Papa John's Pizza, while industry sources estimated Newton would pull in roughly $11 million in 2015 as a spokesman for Under Armour, Beats by Dre, Dannon yogurt, Belk electronics accessories, and L'Oreal Drakkar Essence fragrance, among others.
What may be particularly surprising is that Newton emerged as a top endorser before his (likely) MVP season this year, and even before he was universally considered one of the league's best quarterbacks. Newton has been criticized this season by a certain subset of fans who think his celebrations are "arrogant" and too "in your face." Yet apparently an even larger—and undoubtedly, younger—group of fans is drawn to Newton for the fun and excitement he brings to the game. It doesn't hurt that Newton's signature move has been giving away footballs to kids after the Panthers score a touchdown.
Newton's big smile, muscular frame, running ability, and—let's be honest—skin color stand in contrast to the NFL's aging group of established, drop-back pocket quarterbacks like Brady, Manning, and Brees. In more ways than one, this could be a good thing for Newton.
"Those guys are boring," Peter Laatz, an executive at research firm Repucom, explained to Forbes recently. "Cam is more entertaining and more relevant with the millennial audience."
Both on and off the field, then, it looks like a torch is being passed—and the Carolina Panthers' Cam Newton is more than ready to run with it.


Despite its iconic status and current prominence, the bighorn sheep was near extinction at the turn of the century. Diseases introduced through European livestock and unregulated hunting had decimated populations throughout the West, and only a small number of the native sheep remained in Colorado in the early 1900s.
Majestic and agile, the Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep is a prominent figure on the steep and jagged walls of Colorado's canyons.
In cooperation with the Rocky Mountain Bighorn Society, CPW has spent decades rebuilding sheep populations through trapping and relocation efforts. CPW conducted the first sheep transplants in the 1940s, including planting bighorns between Georgetown and Silver Plume. Known simply as the "Georgetown Herd," this population of 250-350 sheep is one of the largest herds in the state and the area has become one of the most popular sheep viewing sites in the nation.
Since Colorado's restoration efforts began, CPW has completed more than 100 bighorn sheep transplants, most of which took place in the 1970s and 1980s. Gore Canyon in northwest Colorado is one of the most recent transplant locations. CPW closely monitors bighorn sheep herds and maintains healthy populations through controlled hunting and ongoing trapping and relocation. Thanks to decades of dedicated conservation efforts, Colorado's iconic bighorn sheep are once again abundant with an estimated statewide population of 7,000 animals.


Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti for 6–8 minutes until "al dente".
Rinse asparagus. Cut off and discard woody stems. Cut the asparagus to 5 cm pieces. Add the pieces to boiling water with spaghetti for the last 3–4 minutes of spaghetti's cooking time.
Meanwhile, make the pesto. Rinse and dry spinach and basil. Peel garlic cloves. Grate parmesan. Place spinach, basil (keep a leaf or two for garnish), garlic, parmesan, and pine nuts (keep a few kernels for garnish) to a food processor (or use a bowl and a mixer). Mix until smooth. Add salt, pepper, and olive oil. Stir to combine.
If the chicken breasts are very thick, cut them in half lengthwise. Fry the chicken breast in oil in a pan, on both sides, until well done. Season with salt and pepper. Let rest a few minutes before slicing.
Drain spaghetti and asparagus. Slice the chicken breasts. Combine spaghetti, asparagus, chicken, and spinach pesto. Divide to plates and serve.
Serve the spaghetti and chicken with a small spoon of pesto or some creamed spinach.
Add a bit of water if the pesto is too thick. If you don't have a mixer, chop spinach and basil as small as you can. Chop pine nuts. Mix together with grated parmesan and remaining pesto ingredients.

Q: Get a value from array via a function in PHP I have a problem in my PHP code. I got an array like this as example ( this array is created dynamic with data from a database).
$db_res =array('debiteur_id'=>'1020','user_id'=>'495','b2b_or_b2c'=>'B2C');

When I show the values with
foreach ($db_res as $key => $value )
{
   echo $key.' - '.$value.' , ';
}

It is displaying these values what is OK

debiteur_id - 1020 , user_id - 495 , b2b_or_b2c - B2C

Now I have a function to test if some  data in the array is set or not and to return some values from this $db_res array of $_POST array
    function isnull_post($naam)
    {
        if (isset($db_res[$naam]))
            return($db_res[$naam]);
        else
        {
            if (isset($_POST[$naam]))
                return($_POST[$naam]);
            else
                return('');
        }
    }

When I use the following code to show my array
    foreach ($db_res as $key => $value )
    {
        echo $key.' - '.$value.' , ';
        $val = isnull_post($key);
        echo ('isnull : '.$val.' , ');
    }

This is my output

debiteur_id - 1020 , isnull : , user_id - 495 , isnull : , b2b_or_b2c - B2C , isnull :

What am I doing wrong?

A: You need to do some changes in isnull_post() function as your  $db_res array scope is not global. So make it global in the function where you want to use it as a global variable.
function isnull_post($naam)
    {
            global $db_res;

            if (isset($db_res[$naam]))
                return($db_res[$naam]);
            else
            {
                if (isset($_POST[$naam]))
                    return($_POST[$naam]);
                else
                    return('');
            }
    }

You can also do it by passing the array to the function as :
 $db_res =array('debiteur_id'=>'1020','user_id'=>'495','b2b_or_b2c'=>'B2C');

    function isnull_post($naam,$db_res)
        {
            if (isset($db_res[$naam]))
            return($db_res[$naam]);
            else
            {
                if (isset($_POST[$naam]))
                    return($_POST[$naam]);
                else
                    return('');
            }
        }

        foreach ($db_res as $key => $value )
        {
            $val = isnull_post($key,$db_res);
            echo $key.' - '.$val.' , ';
        }

if your requirement for using this array is only for this function,then you can pass it to the function but if other functions requires this array then you have to define the array global to that function's body scope.

A: Use Below code:
$db_res =array('debiteur_id'=>'1020','user_id'=>'495','b2b_or_b2c'=>'B2C');
function isnull_post($naam,$db_res)
{
    if (isset($db_res[$naam]))
    return($db_res[$naam]);
    else
    {
        if (isset($_POST[$naam]))
            return($_POST[$naam]);
        else
            return('');
    }
}

foreach ($db_res as $key => $value )
{
    $val = isnull_post($key,$db_res);
    echo $key.' - '.$val.' , ';
}

A: As already is commented, the variable $db_res isn't accessible in your function, you either make it a global (which I don't prefer), or you pass it on, like this:
<?php
    function isnull_post($naam, $db_res)
    {
        if (isset($db_res[$naam]))
            return($db_res[$naam]);
        else
        {
            if (isset($_POST[$naam]))
                return($_POST[$naam]);
            else
                return('');
        }
    }

    foreach ($db_res as $key => $value )
    {
        echo $key.' - '.$value.' , ';
        $val = isnull_post($key, $db_res);
        echo ('isnull : '.$val.' , ');
    }
?>

A: You can write any of the way,
        $db_res =array('debiteur_id'=>'1020','user_id'=>'495','b2b_or_b2c'=>'B2C');
        function isnull_post($naam)
        {
            global $db_res;
            if (isset($db_res[$naam]))
            return($db_res[$naam]);
            else
            {
                if (isset($_POST[$naam]))
                    return($_POST[$naam]);
                else
                    return('');
            }
        }

        foreach ($db_res as $key => $value )
        {
            $val = isnull_post($key);
            echo $key.' - '.$val.' , ';
        }

Or as the following Steps..
            $db_res =array('debiteur_id'=>'1020','user_id'=>'495','b2b_or_b2c'=>'B2C');
        function isnull_post($naam,$db_res)
        {
            if (isset($db_res[$naam]))
            return($db_res[$naam]);
            else
            {
                if (isset($_POST[$naam]))
                    return($_POST[$naam]);
                else
                    return('');
            }
        }

        foreach ($db_res as $key => $value )
        {
            $val = isnull_post($key,$db_res);
            echo $key.' - '.$val.' , ';
        }

But I prefer to use first one.

The Best Scifi Songs To Yell At The Karaoke Bar
Filed to: scifi karaokeFiled to: scifi karaoke
scifi karaoke
go home productions
Mr. Roboto
Mash-ups
Hey, it's Friday! And if you're like me, you're heading out to the Karaoke to guzzle $1 PBRs and holler into a super-echoey mic at a crowd of people who (hopefully) are even drunker than you are. But being an enlightened, forward-looking person, what you really want is to bellow a science fiction song into the mic. We've got you covered with our handy list.
1. Space Oddity by David Bowie. The ultimate science fiction ballad. If only the bar let you wave a lighter around.
Singing ability required: Moderate. You just need to be able to intone "Ground control to Major Tom" in a sort of monotone, count down from five, and then wave your beer bottle over your head to the rousing chorus.
2. Rocket Man by Elton John. The other ultimate science fiction ballad, and pretty much a rip-off of the Bowie song, only cheesier.
Singing ability required: High. Unless you decide to do a cover version of the famous Shatner rendition, in which case you need absolutely no vocal chops whatsoever.
3. Rapture by Blondie. Mostly for the rap about the Man from Mars. Who knows what the other part of the song is about anyway?
Singing ability required: High. But here's what you do. Either you find your cute friend who can actually sing to do the singing part, OR you cover the Go Home Productions mash-up of "Rapture" with "Riders On The Storm" by the Doors. (You can find this mash-up online pretty easily, I think, and it still includes the Blondie rap.) But this is the crucial part: memorize the rap. You don't have to be Kanye West to pull it off, but you do have to have it memorized, especially if you're already sorta drunk. Promise me you'll memorize it in advance, so you don't embarrass me too much. Or else, don't tell anybody I told you to do this.
4. 1999 by Prince. It's sort of an apocalyptic party song, about nuclear war or something. And on the album, it starts out with that robot that only wants you to have some fun.
Singing ability required: Fairly high. This is the one you drag all your friends up there to help you sing. Bonus points if you actually work out in advance which one of you will be Dez Dickerson (bass) and which one will be Lisa (alto).
5. She Blinded Me With Science by Thomas Dolby. It's pretty much the classic mad-scientist boogie number, from one of the most scifi-ish singers of all time.
Singing ability required: Moderate. If everybody is really really drunk, you can just sort of chant the lyrics and then put everything you've got into screaming "She blinded me! With! Science!" when appropriate. Or if that's too hard, just do the screaming part.
6. Anything by They Might Be Giants. Especially if they've got "Particle Man." They're sure to have that Istanbul/Constantinople song, which isn't really scifi, but TMBG has instant scifi cred anyway.
Singing ability: Fairly high, but you can bluff your way through it if you at least remember the lyrics.
7. Flash Gordon by Queen. Or, in a pinch, Another One Bites The Dust, which is sort of post-apocalyptic sounding. Do NOT try to sing Bohemian Rhapsody. It's not science fictional, for one thing, and your friends will disown you. You're not as funny as Wayne and Garth. Trust me.
Singing ability required: High. Sorry. It's Freddy Mercury.
8. Atomic Dog by George Clinton. Why is the dog atomic? Was there some kind of nuclear disaster, or bizarre scientific mishap? (Hint: Clinton also made the awesome Dope Dogs album, all about weird drug-related experiments on puppies.) Whatever the reason, this dog is probably chasing the cat using a jetpack or something. In an ideal universe, your karaoke bar would have "Unfunky UFO" or "Mothership Connection" or "Dr. Funkenstein." But we both know that's not going to happen.
Singing ability required: Pretty high, but you can pretty much just chant your way through it. If you can master the "bow-wow-wow-yippie-yi-yippie-yay" part, you're home free. This is another song you can bring your friends up for, and just have a dance party.
9. Styx, Mr. Roboto. Well, duh. His brain is IBM.
Singing ability required: I'd say moderate. Annalee just did an impromptu performance of it for me. If you put a lot of energy and emotion into "I'm just a man whose circumstances went beyond his control," and "Secret secret I've got a secret," you're home free.
10. Anything by Daft Punk, especially Technologic. It's pretty much all weird robots or creepy cyber-voices chanting about how they're going to fix everything.
Singing ability required: Not that much, really. Just chant and sound as robotic as you can. But work out a dance routine with a couple of your friends.

How to Identify a Wild Snake Species in Illinois
by Barbara Cozzens
The venomous copperhead snake is active between April and October.
Snake populations across the United States have declined, due in part to unnecessary persecution caused by misidentification and fear. Of the 39 species of snakes in Illinois, only four are venomous. None of the state's snake species are overtly aggressive and will generally only bite if handled or otherwise threatened. Left alone, snakes often pose no threat at all. Correctly identifying the species can help minimize concern when encountering a snake and in doing so, promote better understanding and tolerance. While challenging, by using easily observed physical characteristics coupled with information about geographical distribution, even a novice can reliably determine the species of snake.
Examine the snake's head. If the snake has pits between its nostrils and eyes, with elliptical versus round pupils, proceed to Step 2. Use extreme caution as the species is venomous. If the snake has rounded pupils and no plates on the head, skip to Step 4. If the snake has an upturned, enlarged plate at the tip of its nose, it is an eastern hognose snake (Heterodon platirhinos), a medium-sized snake common in sandy areas. Folklore describes this species as the "hissing viper" or "puff adder" as the snake will hiss and intimate a strike if threatened.
Observe the top of the snake's head. If the animal has nine, symmetrical head plates, proceed to Step 3. If there are no head plates, and the animal has small, asymmetrical face scales as well as a button or rattle at the tip of its tail, the snake is a timber rattlesnake (Crotalus horridus), a large, venomous snake, threatened in Illinois.
Carefully view the snake's tail. If the animal has a button or rattle on the tip of its tail with blotches down the middle of its back, the species is an eastern massasauga (Sistrurus catenatus), a medium-sized, venomous snake, endangered in the state. If the snake has no rattle and hourglass-like crossbands along its body, the species is a copperhead (Agkistrodon contortrix), a large, venomous snake found in the southwestern part of the state. If the snake is darkly colored with a dark stripe from its snout to its eye and upper lip, it is a cottonmouth (Agkistrodon piscivorus), a large, venomous snake found only in the state's southernmost counties.
Evaluate the snake's color pattern. Snake species can often be identified by the arrangement of colors or markings. If the snake has no pattern, and is a uniform color or has a back color that is different than the belly color, skip to Step 9.
Skip to Step 12 if the snake is striped -- with lines of color running lengthwise along the animal's body.
Skip to Step 13 if the snake has blotched or irregular-shaped markings.
Skip to Step 16 if the snake has spots.
If the snake has multiple rings of color extending around the circumference of the animal, notably on the tail, it is a red milk snake (Lampropeltis triangulum syspila), a medium-sized snake with red blotches on the back that become rings. If the rings do not cross the belly -- often referred to as crossbands or bars -- and alternate red and black, the snake is a mud snake (Farancia abacura), a large snake endemic to the southern part of the state, but seldom seen. If the snake has a single, yellow or cream-colored ring around the neck with smooth scales, it is a ring-necked snake (Diadophis punctatus), a small, burrowing snake found commonly along the southern Mississippi River bluffs and the Shawnee Hills.
Examine the snake's scales. Determine whether the scales are smooth or keeled. Smooth scales are smooth and flat, and better reflect light, often making the snake appear glossy or shiny. Keeled scales have a raised center ridge which scatters light, often making the snake appear dull or dusty. If the snake has smooth scales, proceed to Step 10, otherwise skip to Step 11.
Evaluate the color of the snake, both back and belly. If the snake is bright green with a white or yellowish-white belly, it's most likely a rough greensnake (Opheodrys aestivus), a slender snake found in the southern part of the state. If the snake's back is brown and the belly bright pink, the snake is likely an eastern worm snake (Carphophis amoenus), a small, burrowing snake found mostly in wooded areas in the southern half of the state. If the snake has a black, blue or blue-green back with smooth scales and a white or gray belly, it is most likely a racer (Coluber constrictor), a large snake common across the state.
Evaluate the color of the snake, both back and belly. If the snake is black or dark brown with a yellow or orange unpatterned belly, it is most likely a yellowbelly water snake (Nerodia erythrogaster), a large snake found in the southern part of the state. If the snake is dark olive or brown in color with a black side stripe above the yellow or white belly, it is most likely a Graham's crayfish snake (Regina grahamii), a medium-sized water snake, uncommon in the state. If the snake is brown or grayish-brown with a plain white belly and weakly keeled back scales, it's likely a smooth earth snake (Virginia valeriae), a small nocturnal snake. If the snake is completely black with unusually straight sides, and weakly keeled back scales, the snake may be a black rat snake (Elaphe obsoleta), a large snake common in Illinois. Juveniles of this species may be lightly blotched.
Evaluate the coloring and placement of the stripes. If the snake has an orange stripe along the center of a black back and yellow or green stripes along its sides, it is likely a western ribbon snake (Thamnophis proximus), a medium-sized snake common in Illinois' southwestern counties. If the snake has a yellow or gray midback stripe, yellow side stripes and a grayish-green belly with dark spots along the scale edges, it is likely a common gartersnake (Thamnophis sirtalis), a common snake throughout the state. If the snake is gray, light brown or black with a faint midback stripe, the snake may be a redbelly snake (Storeria occipitomaculata), a small snake, abundant even in Chicago.
Look at the snake's head and neck. If the animal's head is noticeably wider than its neck and it has a yellow body with brown blotches and a row of alternating spots along the sides, the snake is most likely a western fox snake (Elaphe vulpina), a large snake common in Grand Prairie. If the snake's head is noticeably smaller than its neck and its body is yellow to tan with 36 to 54 brown blotches on each side, it is a bullsnake (Pituophis melanoleucus). If the snake's head is roughly proportional to the neck, proceed to step 15.
Observe the color pattern of the snake. If the snake is yellow or green with Y-shaped markings on its sides, it is most likely a diamondback water snake (Nerodia rhombifer), a large water species, often mistaken for a cottonmouth. If the snake is gray, tan or light brown with 30 or more reddish-brown blotches on the back with lightly keeled scales and a light-yellow belly with reddish-brown half moons, it is likely a northern water snake (Nerodia sipedon), a stout snake abundant in Illinois.
Note the background color of the snake. If the snake is glossy black, with a white dot in the center of each scale, it is a common kingsnake (Lampropeltis getula), a large snake common in the Shawnee Hills and Mississippi River bluffs. If the snake is gray to brown with dark-bordered brown blotches and two rows of alternating dark spots along its sides, the snake is a prairie king snake (Lampropeltis calligaster), a long, slender snake, common in Illinois' remnant prairies. If the animal is gray or brown with small, dark spots on its back and a light pink belly, the snake is a brown snake (Storeria dekayi), a small snake common throughout most of the state.
Purchase a field guide specific to snakes to compare your observations with photographs.
Many snake species are similar in appearance, and may be difficult to distinguish. Additional, more advanced keys may help differentiate.
The age of the snake often affects both color and pattern. In all cases, color and pattern are described for adults of a species.
Do not unnecessarily disturb or harass a snake.
Under no circumstances attempt contact with a venomous snake.

BIOTECH & CREATIVITY / This year bio-science must start to get real
STEMCELL18 Robert Klein is chosen as committee chair during the first meeting of the oversight committee being set up to run California's $3 billion stem-cell research initiative, which voters got going by passing Prop 71 in November, the meeting was held at UCSF Laurel Heights Conference Center in San Francisco. Event on (12/17/04) in (San Francisco) Photos by Shelley Eades/The ChronicleSHELLEY EADES
This is going to be some kind of year in bio-science.
It is the year that scientific initiatives in the Golden State shift from politics to implementation, led by the $3 billion stem cell research initiative.
Flush from a convincing victory in November, Robert Klein, newly appointed chairman of the Citizens Oversight Committee of the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine, will see if he and his committee can spend nearly $300 million a year in state-backed bond funds to create a research establishment as high-minded and transparent as the National Institutes of Health.
In 2005, we will begin to see if Klein, the real estate developer and prime mover behind the stem cell initiative, will exercise prudence and wisdom in ensuring that the unprecedented sums available at the state level for biological research deliver on the promise to create ethical cures for diseases rather than simply enriching scientists, universities and biotech companies.
Will stem cells be banned in D.C.?
With conservative Republicans in Congress strengthened in the election, legislation to ban cloning for stem cells, which last year passed the House of Representatives and was just a few votes shy of passage in the Senate, will have a greater chance of approval.
Will the diminished ranks of moderate Republicans and Democrats, led by Sens. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., of San Francisco and Arlen Specter, R-Pa., hold firm to block a bill that, if it's like last year's version, would jail and fine researchers who clone embryos to create stem cells?
Passage would set off a colossal battle between federal and states rights, pitting Washington against America's most powerful state on, of all things, a matter of scientific research.
Is biotech becoming like big pharma?
European ruling a stem cell setback
By MARIA CHENG
Geron's exit symbolic ding for stem cell research
By MATTHEW PERRONE
As more biotech companies bring Food and Drug Administration-approved drugs onto the market, biotech is in the throes of an identity crisis.
As some biotech companies become mega-companies with billion-dollar drugs, will biotech shift in the public's perception from being the good guys trying to convert amazing new discoveries into treatments and cures to being lumped with a pharmaceutical industry plagued by scandal and seen as a collection of soulless companies that care more about profits than people?
One reason big pharma is vilified is its unsustainable obsession with maintaining double-digit profits. This requires selling blockbuster drugs to as many people as possible even when the accumulating evidence suggests that many drugs are more safe and effective for some people than others -- despite advertising claims to the contrary.
We can hope that biotech in 2005 will continue to aim for drugs that are not necessarily blockbusters but that treat diseases that afflict a million people or fewer and to aspire to profit margins more in line with those of other industries.
Repairing the FDA
The revelations that Vioxx and other Cox-2 inhibitors cause an increased risk of heart disease and that companies may have suppressed negative data while aggressively advertising possibly dubious benefits will likely lead to greater scrutiny of how the FDA oversees the release of data about drugs. They also might lead to a reassessment of the FDA as the nation's first line of defense in assuring that drugs are safe.
The FDA is long overdue for a restructuring. For instance, dividing the food and the drug responsibilities into two agencies would provide better focus on these two different mandates. Having the same agency regulate labels for salad dressing and assess the safety of, say, Cox-2 inhibitors may have worked in 1928, when the FDA was formed, but that dual function is out of date in 2005.
With billions of fresh dollars pouring in from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and other private sources, the previously moribund effort to inoculate and care for children and others in the developing world for treatable diseases such as polio and diarrhea is suddenly fashionable again.
Most interesting are efforts of for-profit companies and nonprofits to form hybrids to produce drugs to be sold at market rates in the developed world, while cutting deals with manufacturers in the developing world to produce and sell the same drugs at sustainable prices in Asia, Africa and Latin America. In the poorest countries, drugs will need to be donated.
The brain rules
This could be the year of the brain -- again. In 2004, a quadriplegic became the first human to have his brain implanted with sensors that can read his thoughts and use them to operate devices such as a computer and a prosthetic arm.
In 2005, other devices will be tested as researchers begin the gargantuan task of deciphering the electrical signals in the brain that issue commands for everything from wiggling a toe to falling in love.
Hovering on the edge of this mind-bending field is the question of whether consciousness itself is decipherable in the vast and complex interplay of electrical signals created by hundreds of billions of brain cells. The decoding won't happen soon, if ever.
The ultimate question is: Are humans mere biological machines guided by a fantastically complex brain that is itself a machine?

Since the first days of the human genome project in the early 1990s, the hype factory in biotech pushed the idea that diseases could be treated and cured by discovering genes connected to heart disease, cancers and other common maladies. A few genes for mostly rare diseases were ferreted out in the early years and in some cases led to treatments.
But only now are genes for diseases that impact millions of people being located and confirmed. The most ambitious project is the three-year, $130 million International HapMap Project, a National Institutes of Health-led effort to map the genetic differences that account for one person having diabetes and another not having the disease -- a difference known as a haplotype.
Companies such as deCode Genetics of Iceland have also mined the genome for genes complicit in diseases such as osteoporosis, schizophrenia and stroke. Knowing the genes for these diseases will lead to new diagnostic tools for individuals and perhaps to drugs and other treatments.


If I'm not a fan of "showing my horse who's the boss". Because of that I have been asked if I don't tell my horse what to do? Does that mean they are the boss? That they can do anything they want?
So much of the time when a horse is being disrespectful, rude, bad mannered, all of the anthropomorphism's we place on them, they are trying to express themselves. They are afraid. They don't understand what we want of them. They are doing what we have actually trained them to do instead of what we thought we were teaching.
If we choose to work with a horse then we have to accept responsibility. We choose to go catch them a their pasture or stall and ask them to work with us. They would be perfectly happy to hang out with their buddies and never see a person. Because we make that choice everything that happens is our fault.
It may seem a bit harsh, but if we accept responsibility then we are also accepting that we can make changes. Responsibility is not just a burden but a gift. If everything happens to us without any ability to control it we are weak and helpless. To be responsible for the outcome is a power. It means we are capable of change.
In order to be effective in our responsibility to do right with our horses we need to know what they are thinking and feeling. If we never let them express themselves how will we know what effect we are having? If we pay attention horses are amazingly expressive. If we take a step back and ask what the cause is every time our horses are "bad" instead of punishing them it opens up whole new lines of communication. If we listen the first time they say they don't understand what we are asking, if we hear them when they say it hurts when we do that, if we sympathize when they say they are scared, if we would just hear what they are saying instead of showing them who's the boss so much of the time it would never escalate into a fight.
There are times when my horses have to do things. They are working horses and jobs need to be done. Sometimes they don't get to say no even if it's not fun. I don't want to go wade through ankle deep mud or brave a blizzard any more than they do, but we both have to. For those times the confidence and communication we have developed during the good times comes into play. I already know what they like or don't like and how they say no. I can tell them that I understand and what good ponies they are for giving me their all. I can promise big rewards when we get back to the barn. I can know when to stop pushing, when it's too much and let them take a break.
What does any of that have to do with this video?
When we work at liberty it is the equivalent of giving the horse a megaphone. We can hear their voice loud and clear. It forces us to refine our cues and training because if we don't do a good job the horse can leave. By allowing the option of leaving, not just of staying and getting treats or leaving and not, but of leaving and going back to his friends and different food, I can be sure that I am taking responsibility for my training and insuring that it is the best I can do. That he is understanding what I ask. That it doesn't hurt. That nothing is scaring him. When he follows me because he chooses to we have achieved the best possible communication and understanding.
I am taking control by letting go. Giving the freedom to say no is empowering. To the trainer, not just the horse. When we go back to riding or going places where he will have to be on a lead, we have already established our relationship. He can say if he's worried without going to any extremes and knows I'll listen. I know that he understands what is being asked of him and will give me exactly what I am asking for.
Here he has had enough of working on crossing the bridge/teeter totter. It's hard work for him. Not physically but mentally. I am asking for a lot. He needs a break. I realize I have been pushing hard for quite a while and decide to call it quits there. I gave him permission to say no. He came back and said he was ready to try again but it was a good time to quit.
So, am I the boss? Yes. In the end I do get the final say. Am I an authoritarian sort of boss? No. Why would I want to be? Life is more enjoyable when we all get a say in matters. As a reward for not "Showing Him Who's Boss" I get a horse who only needs to be haltered to insist that we are done working and he really does need to go back out to pasture. I can live with that.
I really enjoyed this, and it makes perfect sense to me. I like to believe I am his partner in many ways. I listen, he listens, and we work together. It isn't always so even, but there are times when he needs to trust in my guidance and others when I need to trust him to take care of me.
Sometimes I struggle with this letting go of control. I'd really like to work with Ferrous more at liberty because I feel like it would help us both, but especially me!

Oakham linguists win SCOOP journalism competition
Published Thursday 26th of March 2015 12:15:34 PM
Oakham School's French team won the SCOOP regional journalism competition, beating six other participating schools. As part of their prize, they will have the opportunity to visit the offices of the Independent in London, to spend the day immersed in the field of journalism and to see the next day's edition roll off the printing press. Our Spanish team were close behind them, receiving recognition for the most original entry.
The SCOOP journalism competition was a day to test the linguistic skills and ability to work as a team for Sixth Form French, Spanish and German students.
The day began with an introductory welcome and opening speech by Simon Hart, journalist for The Independent and UEFA, who enlightened the participants on the field of journalism and how being fluent in languages gives someone that all-important edge over others when competing in the job market. With entertaining anecdotes of his time covering the Brazilian World Cup and plenty of sound advice, Simon set the tone for the day.
The task for the competing teams was to produce an authentic-looking front page of a newspaper supplement, which would also include an advertising spot. Each team designated one of their members as journalist ready at a moment's notice to attend press conferences, which regularly took place during the morning. Another member of the team was responsible for pitching to representatives of leading companies such as Seat, Audi, Zara, L'Oreal and Rolex to sell advertising space in the supplement.
With deadlines to be met at key points during the day, our teams soon got down to the task. The day culminated in a 5 minute presentation in French or Spanish of the each teams' front cover, all before a panel of judges. Our linguists for équipe Française (Millie Deering, George Bagshaw, Ana Gonzalez, Alma Moss Bokare and Jessica Leaf) and Equipo Espa�ol (Tiéphaine Thomason, Sasha Buravsky, Mia Sevlievska, Gaia Trevisiol and Will Guy) were really put through their paces.
The pupils performed superbly in all aspects of the task and really impressed the panel of judges with their front page designs, as well as their confidence, fluency of language and content of presentation.

Q: Getting Error: CSRF token mismatch in laravel 8 I am trying to submit a form in laravel using ajax, which has some input types and upload file option. After submit a form, i got a error -
{message: "CSRF token mismatch.", exception: "Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Exception\HttpException",…}exception: "Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Exception\HttpException"file: "D:\development\laravel\parangatcrm\vendor\laravel\framework\src\Illuminate\Foundation\Exceptions\Handler.php"line: 389message: "CSRF token mismatch."

I have added this in my blade file -
 <meta name="csrf-token" content="{{ csrf_token() }}">
<input type="hidden" name="csrf-token" value="{{ csrf_token() }}">

This is my ajax code -
$.ajax({
                    url: url,
                    type: 'PATCH',
                    data: new FormData($("#formId")[0]),
                    cache : false,
                    processData: false,
                    contentType: false,
                    success: function (res){
                        console.log(res);
                    }
                    ,error: function (err){
                        console.log(err);
                    }
                });

A: You need to send the csrf token on header, not with the form data. try something like this on your code:
To add a default header with every request, use $.ajaxSetup():
 $.ajaxSetup({
            headers: {
                'X-CSRF-Token': $('meta[name="csrf-token"]').attr('content')
            }
        });

or else you can add the header like below code:
$.ajax({
                        url: url,
                        headers: { 'X-CSRF-Token': ('meta[name="csrf-token"]').attr('content') }
                        type: 'PATCH',
                        data: new FormData($("#formId")[0]),
                        cache : false,
                        processData: false,
                        contentType: false,
                        success: function (res){
                            console.log(res);
                        }
                        ,error: function (err){
                            console.log(err);
                        }
                    });

Jenell Johnson's American Lobotomy: A Rhetorical History
By Emma Bedor
American Lobotomy: A Rhetorical History
by Jenell Johnson
University of Michigan Press, 2014, 240 pages.
Jenell Johnson's 2014 book American Lobotomy: A Rhetorical History provides an accessible and thoroughly enjoyable look at how an infamous medical procedure – the lobotomy – developed, was administered, initially applauded, ultimately loathed, and has had an enduring and profound impact upon medicalization of the mind and public perceptions of medical authority. Johnson expertly intertwines history and detailed biographical information from and about medical professionals and their patients, and contextualizes it all with media and cultural artifacts to synthesize a project that is both entertaining and understandable by readers with little to no prior knowledge of psychiatry, psychosurgery, or public perceptions of the two.
American Lobotomy: A Rhetorical History is aware that the cultural discourse of the lobotomy is largely grounded within "conspiracy theories, political propaganda, radio and television documentaries, autobiographies, biographies, paintings, t-shirts, jokes, and congressional hearings" (1). All of these threaten, in fact, to obscure its initial medical justifications and applications. Yet Johnson's book and larger project of highlighting significant socio-cultural discourses surrounding medicine provide a case study and argument for why the clouds of mystery that often obscure medical practices ought to be methodically deconstructed. Therefore, while largely historical, American Lobotomy is also forward-looking in that it presents a marvelous argument for why further scholarship exploring the cultural significance of medicine is necessary, perhaps more in the contemporary information age than ever before.
American Lobotomy's introduction situates the lobotomy as not only a medical procedure, but a mythical one as well, in that its influence upon the American medical-cultural landscape endures despite its disappearance from legitimated medical practice. Chapters one and two delve into detailed explanations of its technical development and initial applications, how it was positively received and framed by media, and even won a Nobel Prize for one of its main proponents. Chapter three complicates the traditional explanation for lobotomy's decline, which is typically the emergence of psychopharmacology as a "non-intrusive" method for altering undesirable mental states. To this Johnson juxtaposes a persuasive counter-narrative contending that the cultural effects of the Cold War included fears of brainwashing and psychological control; as a result, a large-scale distrust of psychiatry (and the lobotomy in particular) emerged. Chapter four articulates the "return" of lobotomy to the medical forefront when new psychosurgeries emerged during the mid-twentieth century, and here Johnson describes how the activists opposing them rhetorically collapsed psychosurgery with lobotomy, and their practitioner doctors to lobotomists, a strategy that clearly worked to their benefit.
The fifth chapter delves into an explanation of contemporary deep brain stimulation procedures and how they have become rhetorically positioned as different than lobotomies, while chapter six describes the infamous Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum, a contemporary tourist attraction that Johnson herself visits. Here we read about the performative nature of the lobotomy within the present cultural arena, as it has become anthologized within film and horror stories as a warning about medicine, monsters, and medical malpractice. Like chapter six, American Lobotomy's conclusion is one in which Johnson plays a key role: it contains personal reflections on the work, archival and personal, that was involved in this project, and Johnson's own haunting realization that perhaps not as much has changed in the world of psychiatry and medicine as we may try to believe.
Methodologically Johnson's use of rhetorical history neither detracts nor distracts from her project itself. Rhetorical history is a mode of criticism that advocates historicizing the object of critique, in this case the lobotomy, in order to better understand its cultural significance. While the content of the book itself could, I believe, still be informative and enjoyable without any sort of methodological rigor, the inclusion of the rhetorical perspective adds a theoretical dimension that is comprehensible across disciplines and adds increased interdisciplinary appeal to the project.
A potential critique of American Lobotomy is that it attempts to do too much: provide an all-encompassing history of a medical procedure and contextualize these findings from a socio-cultural perspective. Indeed, it is quite a large task to accomplish in fewer than two hundred pages. Yet to this I would respond that medicine and science cannot be divested from the social and cultural milieu in which they emerge and evolve, and to argue that such a thing is even within the realm of possibility is to blind oneself to the importance of social constructions of medicine, and medicine's constructions of the social, particularly social order, which the lobotomy itself was initially designed to maintain and practiced upon those who threatened its delicate fabric.
All in all American Lobotomy manages to be at once convincing and entertaining, an easy read despite the sometimes dark nature of its subject matter, and highly recommended for anyone interested in the relationship between medicine and culture.

My grandmother died at the Michigan mental asylum in Traverse city Michigan. My father told me after her mother died it sent her into a bad depression and loss of reality. She was sent to the state hospital in about 1946. She died soon after . I've often wondered if they didnt do a lobotomy on her. Is there any way to get medical records or information on state patients like that thanks
