Climate Change in El Salvador -- Blog Action Day
October 15 is the worldwide Blog Action Day. Thousands of blogs today are dedicated to the single global issue of climate change.
Because of its exposure to the effects of tropical storms and its low-lying coast line, El Salvador is at risk from the impacts of global climate change. The primary impacts of climate change could be temperature increases, changes in rainfall patterns, and flooding from sea level increase. A "Country Note" prepared by the World Bank looks at climate change and the agricultural sector in El Salvador and noted the following:
According to a study on adaptation strategies to climate change realized by the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources in collaboration with the National Service of Territorial Studies (SNET) in the coastal plains of El Salvador, between the municipalities of Zacatecoluca, Tecoluca and Jiquilisco, the following was concluded for the year 2015; i) loss of between 10 and 19% of the territory due to sea elevation of 13-55 cm, especially in the mangrove swamp area; ii) forest fires and forest plagues; iii) increased soil erosion and loss of humidity in soil and iv) diminishing productivity of corn of between US$3.1 million and US$7.5 million for the years 2025 and 2100 respectively caused by droughts.
The Global Climate Risk Index constructed for the period between 1997 and 2006 and covering both human and economic impacts, ranks El Salvador 30th in the world, underscoring the country's high vulnerability to climate related events. In recent years (between 2001 and 2005), storms and droughts have had the highest human and economic impact in the country- 400,000 people have been affected by droughts (1 event) with the cost of damages reaching US$22.4 million and 74,941 people have been affected by storms (2 events) with the cost of damages reaching US$355 million.
The Country Note is a useful overview of a the vulnerabilities of El Salvador's agricultural sector.
There are a variety of efforts going on in El Salvador to help the country address these vulnerabilities. Friends of the Earth International is working to promote advocacy and awareness at the social and governmental levels of the need for action on climate change. A project funded by the Canadian government has helped to develop micro-businesses in the Jiquilisco Bay region so that the local population will not be solely dependent on agricultural and fishing activities which can be wiped out by a drought or a flood. Oxfam is promoting flood control projects.
You can find more information on climate change and El Salvador at the website of the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources and at a web portal jointly run by several Central American countries.

As a U.S. citizen, it is very embarrassing that Obama has decided to follow his predecessor's shameful example of thumbing his nose at the Kyoto Protocol. Millions--Billions--of people are going to die because of this. I had hoped we would no longer need to be (at least this much) embarrassed when W. left office.
What is Obama going to do next? Start misprounouncing nuclear?

Tim, don't you know the world has been cooling for 11 years?
Even the BBC now says so:
Friday, 9 October 2009 16:22 UK
What happened to global warming?
Tim... global warming is yersterday's greenie wet dream. It is over, dude.
For those who love to fret, panic, and generally chicken little constantly, the new marching orders are:
OMG! The world is cooling! The end is nigh and we all will freeze to death!
Once again, EV shows how out of touch he is. See AP 10/14/09:
LONDON – The North Pole will turn into an open sea during summer within a decade, according to data released Wednesday by a team of explorers who trekked through the Arctic for three months
Advice to EV: Please buy some beachfront property if you think global warming is a scam--I am sure it will be worth SO MUCH money in 10 years. Either that, or it will be worth zilch. Put your money where your big mouth is!
AP: Statistics experts reject global cooling claims
SETH BORENSTEIN Seth Borenstein – 18 mins ago
WASHINGTON – An analysis of global temperatures by independent statisticians shows the Earth is still warming and not cooling as some global warming skeptics are claiming.
The analysis was conducted at the request of The Associated Press. Talk of a cooling trend has been spreading on the Internet, fueled by some news reports, a new book, and temperatures that have been cooler in a few recent years.
The statisticians, reviewing two sets of temperature data, found no trend of falling temperatures over time.
U.S. government data show that the decade that ends in December will be the warmest in 130 years of record-keeping and 2005 was the hottest year recorded.

Minnesota Orchestra: Star Tribune shouldn't echo leadership's dirge
Minnesotans deserve the facts about this community treasure's real potential and importance.
By BRUCE RIDGE
In a Sept. 4 article in the Star Tribune ("Orchestra board firm in face of the risks"), Minnesota Orchestra Board Chairman Jon Campbell was quoted as saying, "We're the only city supporting two professional orchestras…"
Campbell's assertion is simply and indisputably wrong. Yet, it was printed unchallenged.
Minnesotans must be tired of this antagonistic conflict over one of their community's most admired assets. And now, the Star Tribune Editorial Board has joined in ("Verdict on orchestra: Costs are too high"), repeating management's inaccurate rhetoric that leaves musicians and fans everywhere scratching our heads.
The assumptions appear to be that the orchestra is unsustainable and fundraising unachievable. But to believe that, numerous facts must be ignored. The editors state: "The sad truth is that times have changed for classical music. Its business model is under stress worldwide…"
Let's explore the truth with facts:
In 2012, philanthropic giving to the arts in America reached an all-time high of $14.4 billion. In the past three years, the number of businesses giving to the arts increased by 18 percent.
Among businesses that give to the arts, 17 percent plan to increase their giving next year. Philanthropic giving to the arts is recovering from the recession at twice the rate of other philanthropic giving. The arts in America are a healthy business, leading to more than 4 million jobs and providing more than $135 billion in economic activity.
Numerous orchestras have seen increased attendance and record fundraising. The true story to be told is how well orchestras have weathered the recession, demonstrating once again the viability of our nation's artistic organizations. Managements and musicians in numerous orchestras have settled agreements with modest increases in the past 12 months.
Why aren't Minnesotans being provided with these facts that demonstrate sustainability? Don't you deserve to know these facts when forming your opinions?
The management of the Minnesota Orchestra hasn't done that badly in this fund raising climate, either. They raised more than $110 million for, and have spent $52 million on, renovation of the lobby in Orchestra Hall. How does that make sense — to invest in the building that serves as the home of an orchestra while slashing the investment in the orchestra itself?
Any business must evaluate its finances, but the management has chosen a "to cure you we must kill you" approach. The suspension of disbelief that has surrounded this dispute must end.
The recently released financial analysis, commissioned by the management, is dated June 10. Why was a report dated June 10 not released until the first week of September? It is part of a PR campaign to distort reality. Management has more funding to buy full-page ads than the musicians, but that doesn't make the distortions true.
For the same reason, the $4.5 million in concessions made by the musicians in 2009 are downplayed in the report; it doesn't fit into the bill of goods they are selling. Besides, if musician salaries are the problem, the management just saved a whole year of costs by depriving the community of music through the lockout. Isn't it time for enough to be enough?
In Minnesota, arts are a $1 billion business, and the Orchestra is the most prominent artistic ambassador for the state. Campbell and CEO Michael Henson have been entrusted with a community asset, and they have silenced it. They have spent a lot of time and money to convince you of what is not possible in your city.
Campbell's statement that "We're the only city supporting two professional orchestras…" must come as a surprise to Dallas/Fort Worth, Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Atlanta, Phoenix, Houston, Boston, Washington, and others. If Campbell can make such obviously false statements with the assumption that he will go unchallenged, maybe we should re-examine all of his statements?
The good news is that a solution is at hand this very day. One of America's most respected citizens, Sen. George Mitchell, has graciously provided a solution that has been accepted by the musicians. It would simply be folly for the board to continue to ignore the wisdom of this great man, especially when he was their choice for mediator in the first place.
Let the musicians return to the stage.
Let's return to the inspirational message the orchestra provides, and let's end this fatiguing negativity that faces Minnesotans every morning as you read your newspapers.
The time is now for the board to heal the community.

Virgin Group
UN goal
Paris climate summit
Phase out fossil fuels to limit temperatures, a few CEOs say
Heads of companies including Unilever and Virgin Group urged a Paris summit on Sunday to get on track to limit temperature rises to the lowest possible level by setting a goal of phasing out fossil fuel use by 2050.Reuters | December 07, 2015, 08:53 IST
PARIS: Heads of companies including Unilever and Virgin Group urged a Paris summit on Sunday to get on track to limit temperature rises to the lowest possible level by setting a goal of phasing out fossil fuel use by 2050.
In an unusual alliance spanning companies and civil society, the "B Team" is an extreme in the business world by arguing that radical measures to cut greenhouse gas emissions can promote, rather than hinder, growth, jobs and profits.
Last month, they called on the Paris summit, held on November 30-December 11, to set a goal of cutting greenhouse gas emissions to "net zero" by 2050, by when any emissions would be offset, for instance by planting trees that soak up greenhouse gases as they grow.
On Sunday, members of the team said such a goal — highly unlikely to be agreed in Paris because most governments are far less ambitious — would be the best chance to limit rising temperatures to 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 Fahrenheit).
The overriding UN goal is to limit temperature rises to 2 degrees (3.6 Fahrenheit) above pre-industrial times, but more than 100 developing nations including small island states at risk from rising seas want a ceiling of 1.5 degrees.
"We are pushing definitely for 2 Celsius, with the door open for 1.5," Keith Tuffley, CEO of the B Team, told reporters.
"Economic growth and action on climate can go hand-in-hand," said Poul Polman, chief executive of consumer goods maker Unilever.
They say they are not just burnishing their green credentials, but also changing corporate plans. Last month, Unilever said it would switch to using only renewable energy by 2030 and stop using energy from coal by 2020.
Richard Branson, head of Virgin, said the B Team would continue calling for tough action even if the Paris summit falls short of strong action. "It would be irresponsible not to act," he said.
Other members of the B Team include David Crane, head of NRG Energy and Zhang Yue, chairman of BROAD Group, and Sharan Burrow, head of the International Trade Union Confederation.
She said: "For workers it's very simple. There are no jobs on a dead planet".


RICHMOND, Va. – The 80-year-old man who was brutally attacked while in a wheelchair in his Richmond backyard has died.
Family members confirm that John "Johnny" Battle was taken off life support Monday afternoon.
Police say Battle was attacked by Michael Kevin McReynolds in the 3100 block of Decatur Street Saturday afternoon. Battle was sitting in his wheelchair near his back door when he was attacked, Crime Insider sources told Jon Burkett.
Several neighbors told CBS 6 that McReynolds went on a racial-slur-laced rampage, telling everyone that he owned the block.
After hitting Battle in the face with an object, McReynolds stomped on him with motorcycle boots, Crime Insider sources said. They said he then walked off, trying to say he was "looking for the man" that injured Battle.
When police arrived, Crime Insider sources said officers Tasered McReynolds, and even after being cuffed, he was kicking and trying to bite officers.
Frederick Williams works at Sam's Tire and witnessed the violence.
"He stepped on his head multiple times, stepped on his stomach, told him it was his yard and to get out of it," said Williams.
Crime Insider sources said McReynolds claimed he owned Battle's antique cars.
Those same Crime Insider sources said police were looking into whether McReynolds is in a motorcycle gang.
Police said Battle and a second man were attacked Saturday afternoon on Richmond's Southside. Officers were dispatched to Hull Street and East 32nd Street in the Broad Rock Neighborhood just before 3:40 p.m. Minutes later more callers stated that the same suspect was assaulting a 62-year-old man in the 3100 block of Decatur Street, according to Richmond Police.
Upon evaluation from Richmond medical personnel, the 62-year-old man suffered non-life threatening injuries and did not seek medical attention treatment. Battle was transported to a local hospital with life-threatening injuries where two days later he died.
McReynolds, of the 9800 block of Coalboro Road in Chesterfield, has been charged with aggravated malicious wounding. Additional charges could be forthcoming. McReynolds has a lengthy criminal history including a recent conviction on possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. He served just one year in jail and was recently released.
"We would like to thank the community members who called police and aided the two victims of this crime. Your response helped us make a quick arrest, bringing us one step closer to getting justice for the victims and their loved ones," said Major Crimes Detective Sergeant Anthony Jackson.


In looking around blogland and seeing some lovely sites, I realize that certain kinds of style catch my eye. I have decided to create an award for the special sites which, in my opinion, have it ALL together. Not only are their projects great, but the blog owner has taken the time to make sure the overall blog design is good. This includes spelling, layout, color scheme, titling and pictures. Here is the award.
I will be on the lookout for more award recipients in the future. If your blog (or someone else's) is excellent, please let me know. I will also be creating more awards, specific to certain kinds of achievements. I'd love to hear from you. Brag a little about your blog, or congratulate someone's blog that's deserving of an award!
One small request. It's not a rule, but I would very much appreciate a link back to my blog attached to the award badge when you display it on your site (after choosing all five of your faves). Thanks so much!
I have kept the requirements few and simple so that people will not feel it is a chore to accept the award. It is meant to be fun and encouraging! But since there are only five recipients each time, select them thoughtfully and carefully.
Up Late 2 Create! Tereesa always has a delightful colour scheme.
Daily Grace Creations Donna and Peggy always have a lot of fun going on at their site.
Paperie Petals A very clean and attractive looking blog.
Selma's Stamping Corner A lovely site and beautiful cards.
Yvonne's Great cards and other lovely paper crafts.
It was hard to make just one comment about each of the above blogs. Please take a few minutes to visit each of these recipients' blogs. You'll find inspiration there, for sure!
I only like antiques if they are pretty; not all beat up and scruffy. Hate the grunge look.
I play piano and sing.
Another favourite thing of mine is writing poetry, verses, song lyrics.
I'd like my garden to be bigger and have the beautiful roses I used to be able to grow.
What I love about cardmaking is that my mind can wander into another world where there are no worries; only flowers, birds, music and creativity. I always think about the special person I am creating each card for, and that makes me happy.
I'm looking forward to hearing from you. So tell me about your favorite blogs and let's keep the encouragement going!
Grace - thank you so much for stopping by and leaving such a sweet comment and presenting me with your darling award! Thank you so much!!
Thank you so much for the award, Grace! I feel truly honored to recieve this. Thanks!!

A friend passed on your "Thing of Beauty Award" to me. Thank you for such a nice creation. Sometimes a not so good day is made a Terrific day by a great compliment like this.
Hello, Grace!! What a sweet award a friend (Sylvia) passed to me! Had to come visit! What a lovely place to be this AM. If you looked around my blog at all, you saw my daughter, Jillian--her middle name is Grace--love it!! (We continue to work on an attitude worthy of the name!! She's "fire-y"!!) (LOL). I have enjoyed my visit! Thanks for creating the award--have a great day!!
Thank you Grace for creating such a lovely award! Peggy at Daily Grace Creations graciously gave the award to me! I feel honored to be a recipient of your beautiful award!


Falls in and around the home are one of the most frequent causes of injury to seniors.
The number of falls and the severity of injury increase exponentially with age. However, most falls are preventable. Taking the appropriate precautions will not only allow the senior to remain living independently at home, but it will also provide his or her child with piece of mind that their parent is safe.
Make sure stairways and hallways have bright light. Night lights for late night bathroom trips help prevent falls, as do lamps or light switches next to the bed.
Remove clutter. When everything has a place, nothing is tripped over.
Keep telephone and electrical cords under furniture and away from pathways.
Add handrails to shower, tub and toilet area. Soap and towel holders cannot hold the weight of adults.
Use bath mats with suction cups, non adhesive strips or mats in shower or tub. Consider a shower bench or stool.
Wear nonslip low heeled shoes or slippers that fit snugly. Don't walk around in stocking feet.
Throw out rugs without non skid backings or attach them. Tack rugs to lie flat. Ensure carpets are firmly attached to stairs.
Use all available outdoor lighting. Sensor lights that turn on with movement are helpful.
Use handrails on all steps no matter how easy the steps seem, or how many times you've used them before.
Avoid broken sidewalks or areas under construction.
When out in your car, park where it's clear of snow and ice. Try to keep your driving to daylight hours so that you're able to see patches of ice on the streets and in parking lots. Keep kitty litter or sand in your car to create traction if your car is stuck and for traction on outdoor walkways and stairs.
High blood pressure and heart problems can cause dizziness that can lead to falls. Remember to get up from a laying down position slowly if you have either of these ailments.
Many elders fall while making a run for the bathroom because of difficulty controlling their bladder. Talk to the doctor about what can be done for this condition.
Both prescription medications and over the counter medications can cause side effects such as dizziness or drowsiness.
Talk to the doctor or pharmacist about what side effects you can expect from medications.

The 8 Big Updates From Walt Disney World (And Beyond) This Week (January 25-31)
Sunday, January 31, 2016 - 02:36
This week at Walt Disney World, yet another attraction at Disney's Hollywood Studios is confirmed to be closing in the near future, more information is released about what guests can expect from 2016's Epcot International Flower and Garden Festival, plus, permits are filed for yet another expansion.
Outside Walt Disney World, LEGOLAND Florida opens a new attraction, Universal Orlando Resort makes some changes to their early admission policy, and the Orlando Eye announced a contest for couples hoping to get married this Valentine's Day!
1. Club Disney closing in a few days
Though it has only been a few weeks since the Club Disney character dance party opened at the Sunset Showcase Theater, it looks like this attraction will cease normal operation later this week on Feb. 6, 2016, and will then become seasonal, potentially returning during high capacity days.
We don't know yet what be offered in place of Club Disney once it ceases daily operation, but some have speculated that this venue will host private events (much like the former Premiere Theater did). In any case, if you were a fan of this attraction, you only have one more week to go check it out before it dances away (at least for now).
2. Two new outdoor kitchens announced for Epcot Flower and Garden Festival
Image: Disney
With only a month to go before 2016's Epcot International Flower and Garden Festival kicks off, Disney has announced some new details about two new Outdoor Kitchens that will join this year's kiosk lineup: La Isla Fresca and Cider House.
At La Isla Fresca guests will find tropical-inspired dishes, including Jamaican Braised Beef with Pigeon-Pea Rice, Jerk-Spiced Grouper and Chicken with Mango Salsa. At the new Cider House, guests will be able to sample a Field Greens salad with greens harvested from The Land pavilion, heirloom apples, Stilton cheese and dried blueberries.
3. Walls at Disney's Hollywood Studios seem to suggest Muppets Land rumor is true
For the past few weeks we've been reporting on a rumor that suggests that the current Pizza Planet refurbishment will actually bring a Muppets-themed restaurant to Disney's Hollywood Studios, essentially turning the area around MuppetVision 3D into it's own mini Muppets Land. Earlier this week walls went up around Pizza Planet, and while this isn't definitive proof, the walls look a little different from the nondescript, gray walls you can find in other areas of the park, and actually have a number of jokes on them that are similar to The Muppets' "style". Again, while this doesn't exactly prove anything, it does seem like more evidence that this project is indeed going ahead as rumored.
4. Disney files plans for ESPN Wide World of Sports complex expansion
Earlier this week Disney filed permits with the South Florida Water Management district for an expansion to its on-property ESPN Wide World of Sports complex that would include a new multi-story building located behind the Josten's Center. This new addition would adding 286,000 square feet of space, using a 179,000 square feet footprint, according to the permit.In addition to the new building, the permit indicates an additional parking lot will be constructed as well to handle the extra crowds. Work has not yet started on this project.
5. Disney's New "YuDo" Digital Wallet app delayed
Though guests can already use MagicBands and Apple Pay around Walt Disney World to pay for food and souvenirs, last year Disney announced YuDo by Disney, a new digital wallet app that guests could use to load Disney gift cards on to their smart devices. However, this app seems to be running into some trouble, as it was supposed to come out last year, was delayed until January 2016, and has now been delayed again, this time indefinitely.

Considering a bomb was about to blow up during a concert on the Jackson State University campus, University of Mississippi Medical Center nursing students Mary Byars and Maura Smith were calm and focused.
"I'm going to learn how to triage in a disaster situation," said Byars, who with Smith is a first-year student in the School of Nursing.
"I'll respond quickly, on my feet, and figure out the level of importance on who to go help first," Smith said.
Actually, the coliseum at Jackson State wasn't rocked by an explosive. Instead, nursing students, UMMC emergency employees and JSU's Department of Public Safety were drilled Oct. 9 in how to respond to a mass-casualty scenario in an exercise directed by Dr. Carl Mangum, a SON associate professor and emergency preparedness and response specialist.
Paula Vital, a nurse educator in UMMC's Center for Emergency Services, drips fake blood on the head of Northwest Rankin Middle School student Chris Russell
Mangum's message to those taking part in the drill, including "victims" who are eighth-graders at Northwest Rankin Middle School, was clear: Consider it reality, and act accordingly.
"You've got lacerations and abrasions on the entire right side of your body," he told one of the teens as nursing students applied blood-colored paint to her limbs and created false wounds with plastic patches. "If they talk to you, you can't hear them. You're injured."
About 15 SON students and faculty took part in the advanced disaster life support drill staged by the Mississippi Center for Emergency Services at UMMC. They joined representatives of JSU's School of Public Health, the Mississippi Office of Homeland Security's Central Mississippi Response System, the state Department of Health, the Mississippi Hospital Association and the Mississippi National Guard's 47th Civil Support Team. The exercise was the final portion of a three-day training course for professionals in fire protection services, law enforcement, disaster management, emergency medical services, public health, medical and nursing staff, and volunteers.

Before the drill began, all of the participants whose role was to give direct medical care to victims were blitz-trained in decontamination and in tagging patients to assess whose injuries were the most life-threatening, and who could wait for treatment.
Several JSU law enforcement officers and a handful of UMMC employees practiced life-saving maneuvers on a plastic dummy whose chest moved up and down as if he were breathing. "If this is completely cut off, you're going to have a lot of blood," Dr. Nick Hoda, a UMMC Emergency Medicine resident, said as he pointed to the dummy's leg. "You will lose them in minutes."
Ollie Harper, a Jackson State University nurse practitioner, assesses the "injuries" of Northwest Rankin Middle School student Whitney Robinson
The pretend injuries suffered by the middle-school students and resulting changes in their vital signs were meant to test the emergency responders' medical knowledge and ability to save lives. "Is there anything you don't understand about how to breathe shallow?" SON first-year student Allen Lampton asked eighth-grader Chris Russell, who like his fellow students wore a card around his neck detailing his injuries and how he was to react to them.
"I won't stay in one place. I'll be screaming for my mother, and I'll have partial hearing loss from the bomb," said eighth-grader Kyla Thurston. "I'm learning that disasters are real, and tragedies happen."
UMMC School of Nursing students Allen Lampton (center) and Maggie McDonald apply fake wounds and blood to the skin of Northwest Rankin Middle School eighth-grader Chris Russell
And when the students crawled, laid stomach-down or otherwise sprawled in a JSU parking lot, they acted out their injuries and reactions to them, including loud screaming, anguished faces and in Kyla's situation, hysterically running in circles as she dragged an injured leg. Some weren't cooperative or responsive when approached by nursing students, JSU employees and emergency responders trying to triage them.
After the injured were sorted and saved and the screams subsided, the drill's goals had been met, thanks to the unified response.
"When it happens, it ends up as one big team," Mangum said.

1. FC Köln has signed Midfielder Milos Jojic from Borussia Dortmund for an undisclosed fee. The 23 year-old Serbian has signed a contract until June 30th, 2019, and will wear the number 8. The transfer for Felipe Santana did not go through.
Milos Jojic began his career at Partizan Belgrade, where he quickly established himself as a regular and even featured in the Europa League at the tender age of 20. In January 2014 he made the switch to Borussia Dortmund, where he featured in 20 Bundesliga matches and 5 times in the Champions League. Most recently he featured for the Serbian U21 team at the European Championships, playing as a starter in all three of the group matches.
Milos Jojic will join the team for training this coming Monday at Geissbockheim.
The transfer of Felipe Santana from Schalke 04 to 1. FC Köln did not go through. The Brazilian defender underwent a medical check on Wednesday, where he was diagnosed with a torn right calf muscle.
"We analyed the given circumstances and voted against the transfer of Felipe Santana," said FC General Manager Jörg Schmadtke. "At this moment we currently have only a single central defender active in training. Dominique Heintz will only join training in the middle of July, while Mergim Mavraj will remain sidelined for some while. This is why we believed a transfer for a player would only be sensible if the player was active and ready to train right away. Santana would miss at least the next three weeks and would then have to be brought back into training. We will continue to look at further options."

Q: Why are lambdas bound to named variables to be avoided in Dart (According to Effective Dart)? This guideline point suggests avoiding assigning lambdas to variables when an identifier is required. Is there any reason for this? Is it because of readability? Passing a lambda tied to a variable as an argument to a function which requires a Function parameter seems more natural to me than passing a declared function (also, with a declared function autocomplete automatically adds the arguments, which are to be removed).

A: I don't know the exact rationale for the guideline, but some reasons would be:

*

*Constant-ness.  Top-level functions and static methods are compile-time constants.  In contrast, Dart currently does not allow function expressions (lambdas) to ever be constants.  Consequences include:

*

*Optimizability.  When the compiler sees a call site, it knows exactly what will be called.  This allows it to make optimizations (such as potentially inlining the function call).

*Default arguments.  Because Dart does not allow function expressions to be constants, they cannot be directly used as default arguments.  For example:
  int square(int x) => x * x;
  final cube = (int x) => x * x * x;

  void f([int Function(int) callback = square]) { // OK.
    print(callback(42));
  }

  void g([int Function(int) callback = cube]) { // ERROR: Default value
                                                // must be constant.
    print(callback(42));
  }

*Entry-points.  Entry points such as main and such as the callbacks used to spawn Isolates also must be constants, and they therefore can only be declared top-level functions or static methods and never lambdas.

*Recursion.  Declared functions immediately bind a name, but initializing a variable from a function expression must evaluate the expression first.  The ordering matters if the function expression is self-referential (i.e., recursive).  For example, this is not legal:
final f = (int x) {
  if (x > 0) {
    print(x);
    f(x - 1); // Error: Variable can't be referenced before it is declared.
  }
};

and instead would need to declare the variable separately:
late final void Function(int) f;
f = (int x) {
  if (x > 0) {
    print(x);
    f(x - 1);
  }
};

which is awkward at best for local functions and impractical everywhere else.

*Return types.  There's no existing syntax to directly specify the return type for a lambda, which instead relies on type inference.  Consequently, there have been numerous times people have done things like:
() {
  if (someCondition) {
    return someValue;
  }
}

where they forget to return a value along all code paths, and they then become confused why their function returns a nullable type.  In contrast, had it been declared as a normal function with an explicit return type, the missing return value would have been caught.  You could specify a return type by providing an explicit type for the variable, but that brings me to my final point:

*Readability.  Using lambdas at best is slightly more verbose for little to no benefit:
int square(int x) => x * x;

var square = (int x) => x * x;

and it's even worse if you want to declare a return type and to prevent reassignment:
final int Function(int) square = (x) => x * x;

Furthermore, most functions are named, most existing functions follow the guideline, and, as described above, there are circumstances where lambdas cannot be used.  Therefore there is a lot of existing inertia.  Readers are already accustomed to seeing function declarations most of the time, and familiar code is inherently more readable.
Note that the points about constant-ness and return types don't explain why the language was designed that way.  Arguably something like const square = (int x) => x * x; should be legal, and some new syntax could be invented to specify a return type. (I imagine that one reason against const lambdas would be that it would make canonicalization harder.  Given:
const foo = (int x) => x * x;
const bar = (int y) => y * y;

should foo be identical to bar?) Implementing those things isn't free, and ultimately there's little motivation to do so.

Dulla Bhatti
Dulla Bhatti or Dullah Bhatti real name Abdullah Bhatti (popularly referred to as the Son of Punjab' or 'Robin Hood of Punjab') (died 1599) was a famous Punjabi Folk hero and freedom fighter who led a revolt against Mughal rule during the rule of the emperor Akbar.[1]
Career[change | change source]
He belonged to the Bhatti Muslim Rajput tribe and was a zamindar or rural farmer.[1] On becoming a young man, Dulla was angered to see the injustice of the Mughal rulers against local Punjabis, and he turned against them. He started guerilla warfare against the Mughal forces in the Punjab and was successful to some extent for 10 or 12 years.[2] Later, however, he was defeated by the Mughal forces through the betrayal of some enemies[1] and was imprisoned in Lahore Fort, Lahore. He was later hanged there in 1599.[1]
Place in popular literature and culture[change | change source]
Bhatti still remains a big and popular hero for Punjabi people, and he is mostly remembered in the traditional Punjabi var (ballads or songs about heroes).[3]
He is also remembered in the traditional dhadhi performances, like poems acted out, where actors show his many brave deeds.
A number of books, stories (fiction) and plays (drama) have been written about his life and deeds, most famous of these is Takht Lahore a 1973 play or drama written by the Pakistani writer Najam Hussain Syed.
A number of Urdu and Punjabi films have been made about him, including Dullah Bhatti (1956) by famed director Anwar Kamal Pasha.

Use late-night salivary cortisol to catch recurrent Cushing's
Posted on July 4, 2014 by MaryO
By: M. ALEXANDER OTTO, Clinical Endocrinology News Digital Network
AT ICE/ENDO 2014
CHICAGO – Late-night salivary cortisol exceeded normal limits in 10 women with recurrent Cushing's disease a mean of 3.5 years after transsphenoidal surgery, but their urinary free cortisol remained in normal limits, according to a retrospective review from the Medical College of Wisconsin, Milwaukee.
That adds strength to the notion that late-night salivary cortisol (LNSC) catches recurrent Cushing's that's missed by urinary free cortisol, even though UFC remains a standard screening approach in some places.
The study is tiny and retrospective, but at the joint meeting of the International Congress of Endocrinology and the Endocrine Society, lead investigator Dr. Ty Carroll explained why the findings still matter, and also why two LNSC measurements are better than one.

Long-term mifepristone associated with endometrial thickening, bleeding
Posted on August 2, 2013 by MaryO
SAN FRANCISCO – Long-term mifepristone therapy for Cushing's syndrome was associated with endometrial thickening, with some women showing histologic changes consistent with progesterone receptor modulator–associated endometrial changes, in two studies of a total of 35 patients.
The women received 300-1,200 mg/day of mifepristone in the 24-week open-label Study of the Efficacy and Safety of Mifepristone in the Treatment of Endogenous Cushing's Syndrome (SEISMIC) and in an extension of the study in 18 patients who continued for a median of 27 months (range, 14-43 months).
Mifeprex is used, with misoprostol, to end an early pregnancy (within 49 days of the start of a woman's last menstrual period), according to the Food and Drug Administration's website. The treatment of Cushing's syndrome is an off-label use.
Transvaginal ultrasounds in 26 women at baseline and 27 women after the start of the study showed that mifepristone use was associated with endometrial thickening, especially in premenopausal women. The endometrium thickened by more than 5 mm in 8 of 26 premenopausal women (31%) and in two of nine postmenopausal women (22%), with thickening of more than 10 mm in 4 premenopausal women (15%) and one postmenopausal woman (11%), Dr. Ty Carroll reported.
Four (22%) of the 18 women in the extension study who'd been on mifepristone for 14 or more weeks and who had endometrial thickening greater than 20 mm developed clinically relevant endometrial bleeding and underwent hysterectomy (three patients) or dilation and curettage. The endometrial thickening ranged from 25 to 55 mm in these women, who remained on mifepristone therapy throughout the studies, Dr. Carroll and his associates reported in a featured poster presentation at the annual meeting of the Endocrine Society.
"Gynecologic consultation may be required in patients with persistent endometrial bleeding," said Dr. Carroll of the Medical College of Wisconsin, Milwaukee.
Vaginal bleeding of any kind occurred in 10 premenopausal women (38.5%) and two postmenopausal patients (7%). Three premenopausal women reported minor bleeding upon starting mifepristone, and one premenopausal woman reported minor bleeding after stopping mifepristone. Two premenopausal and two postmenopausal women reported intermittent, self-limited spotting or bleeding during treatment.
Bleeding did not always occur following endometrial thickening. Three patients with endometrial thickening greater than 20 mm after 6 months reported no bleeding.
Mifepristone use was not associated with precancerous endometrial lesions. In 33 endometrial biopsies obtained from 15 patients (11 premenopausal and 4 postmenopausal women), 31 biopsies (94%) had benign histology with variable findings of inactive, atrophic, disordered, or mixed-pattern endometrium, and 18 biopsies (56%) showed findings of progesterone receptor modulator–associated endometrial changes. Simple hyperplasia in one patient could not be confirmed on a repeat biopsy, and complex atypical endometrial hyperplasia in a second patient was thought to have existed prior to the study, Dr. Carroll reported. No patients showed evidence of endometrial carcinoma.
Previous studies have reported progesterone receptor modulator–associated endometrial changes from the use of mifepristone, a competitive progesterone receptor antagonist, in doses of 5-200 mg/day that are not associated with glucocorticoid receptor antagonism.
In the current study, median endometrial thickness for the premenopausal women was 5 mm at baseline and 11 mm at 6 months, and for postmenopausal women, was 3 mm at baseline and 6.4 mm at 6 months. The gain was statistically significant for premenopausal but not postmenopausal women. Endometrial thickness continued to increase in the extension study.
The SEISMIC study included adult females with endogenous Cushing's syndrome and type 2 diabetes or impaired glucose function and/or hypertension. It excluded premenopausal women with an endometrial thickness greater than 20 mm, postmenopausal women with an endometrial thickness greater than 5 mm, patients with ovarian cysts with diameters measuring greater than 5 cm (premenopausal) or 2 cm (postmenopausal), or women with free fluid pockets greater than 4 cm. Premenopausal participants had a mean age of 39 years, and postmenopausal participants had a mean age of 57 years.
Dr. Carroll has been a speaker and researcher for Corcept Therapeutics, which markets mifepristone. His coinvestigators were employees, contractors, or consultants for Corcept, which provided some funding for the study.

Q: Undefined reference on very simple program Once I installed Ubuntu 11.10, strange error appears. I want to use GD with my C program, so I installed package "libgd2-xpm-dev". Everything was installed - files gd.h and libgd.a are in "/usr/include" and in "/usr/lib". So, I've tried to compile simple program with GD.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <gd.h>

int main()
{
        gdImagePtr im, im_clear;
        int black, white;
        FILE *out1;

        im = gdImageCreate(100, 100);
        im_clear = gdImageCreate(100, 100);

        white = gdImageColorAllocate(im, 255, 255, 255);
        black = gdImageColorAllocate(im, 0, 0, 0);
        return 0;
}

$ gcc -lgd gd.c
/tmp/cc6LReuX.o: In function `main':
gd2.c:(.text+0x19): undefined reference to `gdImageCreate'
gd2.c:(.text+0x31): undefined reference to `gdImageCreate'
gd2.c:(.text+0x59): undefined reference to `gdImageColorAllocate'
gd2.c:(.text+0x81): undefined reference to `gdImageColorAllocate'

Wait, what? Okay, let's check something.
# Let's sure the lib was found.
$ gcc -lgd_something gd.c
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgd_something

# Lets sure we made no mistake with the symbol's name
$ nm /usr/lib/libgd.a
...
00000dc0 T gdImageColorAllocate
...
000003b0 T gdImageCreate

# So, everything should be ok
$ gcc -lgd gd.c
/tmp/cc6LReuX.o: In function `main':
gd2.c:(.text+0x19): undefined reference to `gdImageCreate'
gd2.c:(.text+0x31): undefined reference to `gdImageCreate'
gd2.c:(.text+0x59): undefined reference to `gdImageColorAllocate'
gd2.c:(.text+0x81): undefined reference to `gdImageColorAllocate'

$ echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
# Nothing

And I don't know what shall I do. Is it an error in gcc or I do something wrong. On my previous os (Ubuntu 10.04) everything works well.
Which file should I show for you?

A: Change:
$ gcc -lgd gd.c

to:
$ gcc gd.c -lgd

(Reason: link order matters !)
Oh, and add -Wall while you're at it - it pains me greatly every time I see people compiling with warnings disabled.
$ gcc -Wall gd.c -lgd

Situated on the eastern coast of Monte Argentario, the small town of Porto Ercole is the second largest after Porto Santo Stefano. It is a pretty fishing town set in a bay with a shallow, natural harbour and the old town sitting on a hill above. The surrounding countryside is verdant and has an abundance of Spanish fortresses dotted over its landscape. The shoreline is rocky and indented with perfectly clear water and a great number of caves, both on the land and at sea level.
Little is known about the history of Porto Ercole but, as with the rest of this area, it was occupied and greatly influenced by the Spanish in the 16th century. It was the Spanish who recognized the strategic significance of the port and subsequently built the fortresses.
As with Porto Santo Stefano, Porto Ercole has long been a popular holiday destination for Italians. The harbour and its associated seafront become the centre of the hustle and bustle in the summer and Porto Ercole certainly lives up to its reputation of being associated with pleasure and good food. The little harbour is packed with pleasure craft in the summer months which has led to the construction of a large, new purpose built marina at Cala Galera, less than a mile away. This marina is fully equipped for big boats and has bars, restaurants and shops along the edge.
The old town is very pretty and no cars are allowed up there as the streets are too narrow. It is worth making the short trip up the hill and wandering through all the little lanes and alleys. There is also a good view of the harbour from up there.
The forts are well preserved and make an interesting day out.
Forte Stella is one of many watchtowers built by the Spanish and gets its name from the fact that it is built in the shape of star. It is quite unique and the views out to sea from here are staggering.
Forte Filippo was designed by the same architect and built around the same time as Forte Stella. This fort is an excellent example of Spanish military architecture.
Forte Santa Caterina is now privately owned and not as well preserved as the others.
Rocca Aldobrandesca is a large fort of a complex and irregular structure and is very well preserved.
As well as the forts the other buildings to visit in the town are the Chiesa di Sant'Erasmo (patron saint of sailors) and the Palazzo dei Governanti with its elegant and intricate facade.
In the hills, just outside Porto Ercole, is the convent of Padre Passionisti. It was founded in 1721 by Paolo Danei della Croce when he stopped at Porto Ercole and was so obsessed with the beauty and tranquility of the area that he decided to establish a hermitage there. They stayed there until 1737 when their numbers became so large they outgrew the available space founder built a convent in its place.
The famous Italian artist Caravaggio died in Porto Ercole on his way to receive a pardon for murder. He died of an unknown fever due to either malaria or lead poisoning and was buried in an unmarked grave.

Report: Crystal Palace willing to pay £10m for Chelsea's Reece James
Danny Owen @danny8195
@danny8195
Premier League rivals Crystal Palace and Brighton and Hove Albion both reportedly want Chelsea defender Reece James.
Crystal Palace are willing to pay £10 million to sign the promising Chelsea defender Reece James this summer, according to the Sun (10 March, page 61).
The 19-year-old right-back has established himself as one of English football's most exciting defenders this season, starring on loan at Wigan Athletic and earning rave reviews in the Championship.
As a result, Chelsea face a challenge holding onto James over the coming months. It is claimed that Crystal Palace are interested in signing the teenager but face competition from bitter rivals Brighton and Hove Albion, who won 2-1 at Selhurst Park on Saturday.
The Sun adds that the Eagles are considering a £10 million bid for James. The England U20 international could potentially have been identified as a replacement for Aaron Wan-Bissaka, the homegrown rising star who has caught the eye of some of the biggest clubs both in England and abroad.
The report claims that Chelsea don't want to lose one of their brightest prospects and are planning to send James on loan to one of Europe's top clubs to help him hone his trade.

But, like fellow youngsters Tammy Abraham and Callum Hudson-Odoi, it seems his future is up in the air.

Sorry I have not posted this week- I have been around I promise! I have spent most of my online time searching for older fashions (check the pages in the sidebar!) and have found a good number of new matches for you all to enjoy!
Okay so this is going to be a flash and dash post showing you what outfits have been worn since my last post and noting if we know the designers.
Victoria has had a few busy days this week. First on January 27 she attended the 70th anniversary of the liberation of the concentration camps in Auschwitz.
For this event she wore her Milly jacket first seen in 2011 when pregnant with Estelle.
Yesterday, Victoria opened the European Championships for Figure Skating. Estelle and Daniel joined her for the day and we of course got some adorable photos!
Victoria wore her blue Prada coat (recently ID'd with the help of Anna at My Small Obsessions- The Countess of Wessex wore the same coat in cream this past week as well). Victoria originally wore this coat back in November 2014 when opening the tunnel with her father.
Finally- Today Victoria and Daniel met with John Mullins at Haga Slott.
Victoria wore her Victoria Beckham top we first saw in San Francisco.

Q: Exploring variables of complex types in Eclipse debugging C++ How do I explore the content of a variable of complex type, say, a multimap where key and value are also of some complex type, like some classes.
Debug can only show the value of the pointer, but not the content of the instance of multimap. I know in gdb, if you have a variable var, and it has a method, say, getAddress(), then you can do something like: p var->getAddress() to see the value retured by that function, Can I do something similar in Eclipse Debug?

A: Hope this helps:

*Here is a way to use standard gdb commands from within Eclipse (a console where you can type them in):
Use gdb console in Eclipse

*Here are the scripts Joachim mentioned (multimap is supported): http://sourceware.org/gdb/wiki/STLSupport

Growing up in fishing everyone knew what a bobber was and on the end, of a cane pole, the bobber was the first depth finder a boy could purchase over the counter. The bobber has evolved into one of the best methods for taking structured walleyes, especially over pieces of structure, such as rock piles and gravel points.
Of course today the bobber has a new term affixed to it's original name. Today, the bobber is referred to as a slip bobber. European styling has replaced the traditional round style bobber. The slip bobber has made a dramatic transformation from "short and fat to long and thin". Therefore, the Thill Float is very effective when there is a slight chop on the water. It will allow you to drift the entire structure from one location; but the wave action also provides some vertical movement to your bait.
The Thill Float is part of your live bait delivery system and you will need to make adjustments if you want your bait to be presented to the fish in a "natural manner." To use your Thill Float properly you will first have to determine depth. You might use your Lowrance sonar to determine depth, or attach a weight to your line and lower it into the water until your line shows slack, but I prefer to use the old method (revised).
I first put on a "bobber stop" like the ones you can purchase at a sport goods store. I attach this bobber stop ahead of my slip bobber on the line, then I attach an additional bobber stop to the line after the slip bobber. If I am using slip bobbers for walleyes I like to attach a 1/16 or 1/32 ounce jig to the business end of the line instead of a plain hook. If the slip bobber lays on it's side then I readjust the (float) bobber so that it rides off the particular structure from 1 ft. to 6 inches. I like the color that a jig head adds plus I need to add very little extra weight to pull the line down to the preset depth when using a jig head. If you use this slip bobber method, it will enable you to jig your bait vertically without positioning yourself over the top of the structure. With little or no wind you'll have action on the Thill Float. This can easily be achieved by sweeping the rod about a foot at a time. It might seem simple, and it is, but the results will astound you.
When the walleye inhales your bait and your Thill Float slides slowly underwater, remember the following tips: Take all the slack out of your line without putting pressure on the fish. When you're ready to feel the fish reel as quickly as possible putting pressure on the fish. At the same time "set the hook", lift the rod tip towards the sky and this will penetrate the bony roof of the walleyes mouth.
Thill Floats may be one of the most simple yet efficient and effective ways to present bait that there is. They can be fished at any depth, with a variety of bait, and on most equipment.
With a cane pole or a modern graphite rod, I for one am glad to see techniques to make fishing simple and enjoyable again. The Thill Float is one of these techniques that will improve your success, give it a try. Remember when the "Thill is gone" set the hook, and if you are interested in a guided trip, a personal media interview, or photo shoot, please call 715-545-8347. I am located in Phelps, Wisconsin area, close to several fishing lakes. See you on the water this season. Remember NPAA #94. I hope to hear from you soon.
