In a sauce pan, cook organic chicken thighs, sprinkled with gourmet sea salt (fancy, I know!) in avacado oil (I rarely really measure anything, so just eyeball it!) till cooked they. Once done, set them aside and added asparagus, red onion slices and 2 cloves of minced garlic to the same pan and cook till the onion become tender.
Divide the asparagus mix onto two plates, put the chicken back in the sauce pan to reheat, add the cherry tomatoes and handful of spinach. Top it off by splashing coconut balsamic vinegar on top of the chicken ( we got ours in Stone Harbor at an adorable shop called The Well Dressed Olive, but any balsamic vinegar will do. Heat for just a few minutes, add them to the plates with asparagus and viola! A simple, tasty and healthy dinner! There are so many adaptions you could make to this, but these were the only ingredients I had at home, so I went with it! Let me know if you give it a try!
Side note… If you live anywhere near the Jersey Shore, you HAVE to go to The Well Dressed Olive. It is adorable!!! We got some awesome olive oils, vinegars and some fun colored/themed pastas! The employees were awesome and you can taste test every single olive oil and vinegar they have!

Rights Group: Scores of Sick Palestinians Facing Death in "Israeli" Prisons
Islam Times - A Palestinian human rights group has expressed serious concern over the condition of sick Palestinian inmates in "Israeli" jails, saying many of them are facing death due to their exposure to deliberate medical neglect.
Riyad al-Ashqar, director of the Palestinian Center for Prisoners Studies [PCPS] warned in a statement on Sunday that scores of Palestinian prisoners with serious health conditions are likely to die in "Israeli" jails because prison services deny them medical aid.
He called on relevant authorities to provide adequate health care services to the sick Palestinian prisoners languishing in "Israeli" jails, whom he described as "living martyrs".
Ashqar said there are more than 700 prisoners suffering from health problems, 150 of whom suffer from serious issues such as cancer, kidney failure, heart problems and muscle atrophy.
Many Palestinian prisoners who suffered serious illnesses have lost their lives either in "Israeli" jails or shortly after their release.
In September, 45-year-old Daoud Talaat Khatib died of heart attack at Ofer Prison and Detention Center near Ramallah. The deceased Palestinian suffered from bad health condition during his detention and in 2017 had a heart attack, but medical negligence by the "Israel" prison authorities contributed to the deterioration of his health until his death.
Also in July, 75-year-old Saadi al-Gharably – a resident of the Shuja'iyya neighborhood of Gaza City – died in the infamous Ramla prison hospital. He was suffering from a number of health conditions, including diabetes, high blood pressure as well as poor hearing and eyesight, and had recently been diagnosed with prostate cancer.
Back in October 2019, the Palestinian Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs Commission reported that sick Palestinian prisoners in Ramla prison hospital are facing a slow death on a daily basis because of their exposure to deliberate medical neglect.
According to the commission, nearly a dozen of the Palestinian prisoners are in very serious health conditions and most of them cannot move without wheelchairs.
They rely on other prisoners when taking shower, changing clothes, eating and drinking.
The commission then appealed to international human rights, legal and humanitarian organizations to urgently intervene to save the lives of sick prisoners in "Israeli" jails, and put an end to the "Israeli" officials' policy of medical negligence against Palestinian prisoners.
More than 7,000 Palestinian prisoners are currently being held in some 17 "Israeli" jails, with dozens of them serving multiple life sentences.
Over 500 detainees are under the so-called administrative detention in various "Israeli" prisons. Some prisoners have been held in that condition for up to 11 years without any charges.
The co-called "Israeli" administrative detention is a form of imprisonment without trial or charge that allows the "Israeli" authorities to incarcerate Palestinians for up to six months, which could be extended for an infinite number of times.
Palestinian detainees have continuously resorted to open-ended hunger strikes in an attempt to express their outrage at the detentions.

Panel 1: The caption boxes are from President Nixon and his cabinet members and other advisors discussing the ramifications of Russia's invasion into Afghanistan – a reality that occurred years earlier in our own world.
Nixon's remark that "if he (i.e. Dr. Manhattan) wanted to live on a red planet (Mars), he should have stayed home" refers to Russia's military mobilization. Russians, or more accurately Soviets, were called "Reds" as a result of the Bolshevik revolution in the early twentieth century. In 1918, Russia was going through a civil war, and the Bolshevik army was named the Red Army, named for the spilled blood of the working class that was fighting for Communism. When the Bolsheviks were victorious and eventually gained political control of Russia, the term Reds – for their Red Army – was attached as a derogatory label that lasted through the Cold War.
Panel 3: The statement, "I'm talking total devastation" is another example of the juxtaposition between words and images that Moore & Gibbons pioneered with this comic. It not only refers to the scenario of a Russian nuclear strike, but to the scene in this panel with Dr. Manhattan walking across Mars's devastated landscape, a huge cloud of dust following him along its surface.
Panel 5: More juxtaposition as one of Nixon's advisors says in the caption box ". . . any moment now we'll be able to give you an overview" just as Dr. Manhattan is coming over a rise to find the place on Mars where he can sit and think.
Panel 6: The man speaking in the foreground of this panel is Secretary of State Henry Kissinger.

Frederick City Police say the drug spice is causing just as many overdoses as opioids
By: Catherine Hawley
It's a mixture of leafy material sprayed with liquid chemicals; a dangerous synthetic drug that's hitting Frederick City hard.
"We have seen a significant increase this year," said Frederick City Police Lieutenant Clark Pennington.
He says people are using spice and overdosing at nearly the same rate as opioids.
"Since February 13th we've seen about 44 overdoses," Pennington said. "In addition to those 44 overdoses though, we've had an additional 21 ems related calls to spice induced issues."
An alarming spike that so far is not slowing down.
The Drug Enforcement Administration warns spice is a risky substance.
"People go into seizures, people have cardiac arrests, psychotic episodes and even die because of it," DEA Special Agent Todd Edwards said. "You don't know what you're taking."
City investigators think batches of spice might be coming up from Baltimore, and they're trying to find out the source.
"Basically trying to go at this thing by a team approach to identify users, identify dealer and hopefully stop the flow," said Pennington.
Problem is, the cheap and unpredictable substance is tough to regulate, and almost impossible to prosecute. Man-made drugs like spice create a challenge for law enforcement because the manufacturers are constantly putting out new varieties that are technically legal.
Some of the chemicals commonly used for spice are listed by the Feds as controlled substances, but the formula of the synthetic drug is easily tweaked, and won't be flagged during testing.
"They will turn around and change just a couple molecules, just enough to change the makeup of it and so it's not illegal anymore," Edwards said.
So smoking it, carrying it or selling it isn't against the law.
It's frustrating and difficult for law enforcement.
"Every time we start to adapt our way of investigating it and our way of prosecuting it, the game changes," Pennington said. "So we're constantly playing catch up."


Road freight is vital for the European economy. Although the numbers not entirely new, the infographic very much due to the detailed analysis of the top figures in the Road Freight Transportation market in Europe.
ControlPay has been set up over 13 years ago to support large multinationals with complex logistics structures in their needs for control of freight costs and invoices flow. This is still very true today. We have always had an international focus being based in Europe and took the collaborative nature of international processing on to our freight audit platform.
This means that our platform has a very high degree of visibility for both shipper and carrier. Also, the lack of standardization in transportation regarding rates, business rules, ways of calculation have been taken into account when we set up our system. That is why we are very flexible in handling many different rate structures, different rules and calculation methods.

Sterilization In State Prisons: California's Long Eugenics Program
How is it that we allow this to happen against our own people?
AFRICANGLOBE – The recent revelation that 148 female prisoners in two California institutions were sterilized between 2006 and 2010 is another example of the state's long history of the ongoing legacy of eugenics. The abuse took place in violation of state and federal laws, and with startling disregard for patient autonomy and established protocols of informed consent.
In the past, sterilization of vulnerable populations in the name of "human betterment" was carried out with legal authority and the backing of political elites. What current and past practices share is the assumption that some women by virtue of their class position, sexual behavior, or ethnic identity are socially unfit to reproduce and parent.
The unauthorized sterilization of women in prison was facilitated, as the federal courts have recognized, by a combination of inhumane practices, overcrowding, bureaucratic inconsistencies, and medical neglect. From the torturous conditions in the state's Security Housing Units, to the exposure of prisoners to life-threatening illnesses, and the trampling of women prisoners' reproductive rights, California rivals many Southern states in penal cruelty.
It's a heartening sign that many groups, including the state's legislative women's caucus, are expressing outrage and asking how these violations of rights could take place in the twenty-first century. Vital answers can be found in the twentieth century.
In 1909, California passed the country's third sterilization law, authorizing reproductive surgeries of patients committed to state institutions for the "feebleminded" and "insane" that were deemed suffering from a "mental disease which may have been inherited and is likely to be transmitted to descendants." Based on this eugenic logic, 20,000 patients in more than ten institutions were sterilized in California from 1909 to 1979. Worried about charges of "cruel and unusual punishment," legislators attached significant provisos to sterilization in state prisons. Despite these restrictions, about 600 men received vasectomies at San Quentin in the 1930s when the superintendent flaunted the law.
Those sterilized included people with conditions we would classify today as psychiatric disorders or intellectual disabilities, as well as individuals with limited educational and economic resources (poor people), including thousands of "antisocial" minors. Initially, men in psychiatric homes were targeted for sterilization; however, eugenicists mostly targeted "feeble-minded" and "promiscuous" women, including those who had one or more children "out of wedlock" or were seen as sexually deviant (mostly Black women).
Moreover, there was a discernible racial bias in the state's sterilization and eugenics programs. Preliminary research on a subset of 15,000 sterilization orders in institutions (conducted by Stern and Natalie Lira) suggests that Spanish-surnamed patients, predominantly of Mexican origin, were sterilized at rates ranging from 20 to 30 percent from 1922 to 1952, far surpassing their proportion of the general population. In her recent book, Miroslava Chávez-García shows, through exhaustively researched stories of youth of color who were institutionalized in state reformatories, and sometimes subsequently sterilized, how eugenic racism harmed California's youngest generation in patterns all too reminiscent of detention and incarceration today.
California was the most zealous sterilizer, carrying out one-third of the approximately 60,000 operations performed in the 32 states that passed eugenic sterilization laws from 1907 to 1937. Furthermore, unlike many other states, where sterilization laws were challenged in the courts, in California the sterilization law remained on the books for seventy years.
Although it was scaled back in the early 1950s, the law was not repealed until 1979, in the context of another chapter of sterilization abuse. This time, about 140 women were sterilized without consent at USC/Los Angeles County hospital. From the late 1960s to the early 1970s, the leading obstetrician at this hospital maintained strong convictions about the need for population control, which he applied to women during and immediately after labor by coercing them into tubal ligations. Sometimes women signed a consent form under duress, other times they were not offered any consent form, or falsely told that their husbands had already signed the form.
Working with the Los Angeles Center for Law and Justice, in 1978 ten women filed a lawsuit against USC/LA County hospital and the implicated obstetrician. Although they lost, this case and parallel lawsuits filed by women of color around the country, resulted in new federal guidelines for sterilization, including a 72-hour waiting period and informed consent requirements.
Many of the stereotypes that fueled 20th century sterilization abuse remain in vogue today. Dr. James Heinrich, who performed tubal ligations of women in prisons, stated that this practice saved the state money because his involuntary clients were likely to have "unwanted children as they procreated more." Such a callous attitude could have been uttered by superintendents in the 1930s, who worried about the economic burden of "defectives," or by the obstetrician at USC/LA County who purportedly spoke to his staff about "how low we can cut the birth rate of the Negro populations in Los Angeles County."
It is time to break the cycle of reproductive injustice in California, and to challenge the continuing potency of eugenic rationales of cost-saving and societal betterment that have undergirded compulsory or unauthorized sterilizations. The 21st century calls for a new era of human rights, institutional oversight, and the protection of vulnerable populations.

Business Macy's Closing Stores Despite Upbeat End of Year Sales Numbers
Macy's Closing Stores Despite Upbeat End of Year Sales Numbers
Thursday, January 9, 2020 at 7:31 am | י"ב טבת תש"פ
Macy's is closing 29 stores in coming weeks despite the company reporting some improvement in comparable-stores sales during the crucial end of year shopping season.
In an email to The Associated Press, the Cincinnati-based retailer said the store closures include 28 Macy's locations and one Bloomingdale's store. It was unclear how that would affect employees at those stores.
Macy's on Wednesday reported that its sales at stores opened at least a year fell 0.6% during the November and December period, which was not as bad as most industry analysts had anticipated. The company's stock rose more than 2% in afternoon trading Wednesday.
Strong online sales boosted the results.
Like other department stores, Macy's is struggling to adapt to a shift online by customers amid intense competition from off-price discounters like T.J. Maxx.
Macy's has pursued a number of strategies as a way to get shoppers back.
The company said it will provide an update on its growth strategy and three-year plan at its annual meeting with investors on Feb. 5.
In November, Macy's cut its annual profit and sales expectations after posting a steeper-than-expected 3.5% drop in same-store sales for the third quarter.
It marked Macy's first quarterly comparable store sales decline in almost two years.

Water bill to increase for Martin Co. residents
FRANKFORT, Ky. (WTVQ) – The Kentucky Public Service Commission has granted Martin County Water District a permanent rate increase, while also ordering the district to contract with an outside party to manage the troubled utility.
In an order issued Monday, the PSC told Martin County Water that a failure to comply with the terms of the order could prompt the commission to either force a merger with another water system or seek appointment of a receiver to operate the utility, removing all local control.
The rate increase granted today will add another $3.30 to the average monthly bill for Martin County Water residential customers, bringing it to $54.37. The PSC in March granted Martin County Water an emergency rate increase that brought the average bill to $51.07, an increase of $11.17, from the previous $39.90 for a customer using 4,000 gallons per month.
Included in the total bill is a temporary monthly surcharge of $4.19 that goes into a separate account and may be spent by Martin County Water only with PSC permission to pay off a portion of the utility's debt of about $1.1 million.
The order also authorizes a separate temporary monthly surcharge of $3.16 per month that would take effect only if Martin County Water obtains outside management and submits and receives PSC approval for a plan to repair its crumbling water system. The plan must be submitted within a year from today.
With both surcharges in place, Martin County Water residential customers would see a total increase since March of $17.53 per month, or about 44 percent.
The PSC noted in the order that even with the emergency increase granted in March, Martin County Water's financial condition "has not improved and remains critical" and the utility is still "struggling to maintain services to the ratepayers."
The PSC left in place the stringent financial controls and reporting mandates it imposed on Martin County Water when it granted the emergency rate increase in March, including a requirement that Martin County Water receive prior PSC approval for all disbursements of funds collected through the debt service surcharge.
However, the debt service surcharge will terminate on Jan. 30, 2019, unless Martin County Water complies with provisions in the order related to obtaining outside management services. Those provisions, all with a Jan. 30, 2019 deadline, include:
Issuing a request for proposals to qualified management entities, including seven identified by the PSC. They include the municipal water systems of the cities of Paintsville and Prestonsburg.
Presenting the PSC with each RFP and all responses received.
Analyzing the responses, with the assistance of Martin County Water's current outside consultant, selecting a preferred proposal, and submitting to the PSC a detailed written analysis of the responses to the RFP and the reasons for selecting preferred proposal.
Within a year of today, Martin County Water must submit to the PSC a detailed plan for retaining and compensating an outside manager and for the repair, replacement and management of its distribution system. Without PSC approval of such a plan, the management and infrastructure surcharge will not take effect.
The combination of the base rate increase and the two surcharges would generate slightly less revenue than the increase originally sought by Martin County Water. It would have raised rates by about 49 percent. A PSC staff analysis determined that the slightly lower revenue would be adequate.
With the history of poor management and an unwillingness to raise rates and invest in the water system, Martin County Water's current situation is "grim and desperate," with "nothing less than access to safe and reliable drinking water at stake," the PSC said.
Martin County Water requires management that is experienced in water utility operations, the ability to address the extreme circumstances in Martin County and "the skills to address the political and cultural norms that pressured the past management into the poor decisions that led Martin District to the current crisis," the PSC said.
PSC Chairman Michael Schmitt wrote an 11-page concurring opinion in which he detailed the history of Martin County Water's problems and the PSC's past unsuccessful attempts to correct them. He noted that the PSC investigated Martin County Water in 2002 and again in 2006, ordering corrective actions that went largely unimplemented.
Martin County has had chronic problems with water loss through leaks, theft and other problems in its system, Schmitt said. In some years, more than 60 percent of all the water the utility produced or purchased disappeared before reaching a customer's meter, he noted.
Beginning in January, the PSC held six hearings in which evidence was presented in the rate case. Those included three hearings called in the PSC's ongoing investigation of the operational capability of Martin County Water.
The only other party to the rate case is Martin County Concerned Citizens, Inc., which represents the utility's ratepayers. It is also a party to the investigation case.

Q: Express determinant as a determinant of smaller order I want to know whether the determinant (as a polynomial) can always be expressed as a determinant of some polynomial matrix of any lower dimension. To be precise, can the polynomial $$p(x_{11},...,x_{nn}) = \mathrm{det}\Big( (x_{ij})_{i,j=1}^n \Big)$$ be written in the form $$p(x_{11},...,x_{nn}) = \mathrm{det}(A), \; \; A \in \mathbb{C}[x_{11},...,x_{nn}]^{m \times m},$$ an $(m \times m)$ determinant of a polynomial matrix, for all $1 \le m \le n$?
It is clearly true when $m = 1.$
A nontrivial case is when $n = 4$ and $m = 2$ where we can use the block matrix determinant $$\mathrm{det} \begin{pmatrix} A & B \\ C & D \end{pmatrix} = \mathrm{det}(A) \mathrm{det}(D - CA^{-1}B) = \mathrm{det}(AD - ACA^{-1}B)$$ which I believe can be made to work even when $A$ is singular by using the adjugate rather than the inverse. I'm not sure about the details but I think there is a solution.
When trying to write the $n=3$ determinant as an $m=2$ determinant I ran into situations where I needed to take square roots of variables. I'm not convinced this can be done but I would be interested in a proof either way.

A: You can have a look at this formula.

Addressing Sexual Misconduct
Over the past several months, it appears the floodgates have opened on revelations of sexual misconduct, some reaching into the highest corridors of power.
But these are revelations only. The actual offenses have been going on, largely unreported, for longer than any of us would care to admit. And that makes it all the more important to take action whenever such allegations surface.
Some twenty years ago, during the last decade of my working career, I held three senior positions: superintendent of personnel in a large school board, and then chief executive in two different school jurisdictions. During that time, I had to deal with a dozen cases of reported sexual misconduct by employees.
The range of offenses included sexual harassment, sexual interference, sexual assault, solicitation of sexual favours, and the exploitation of students in the making and distribution of child pornography.
All the perpetrators were men, either teachers or business/operations employees. Their victims included adults and children of both genders. In all but two cases, those children were under the age of seventeen.
Of course, that number of offenders constituted but a tiny fraction of the total of dedicated and professional staff we employed. But any number is too many.
Four of the situations resulted in criminal charges being laid against the wrongdoers by police, and all went to trial. The remaining situations were dealt with internally, involving an array of sanctions ranging from formal reprimand to outright dismissal. In two cases, after investigation by police and child welfare authorities, the accusers subsequently retracted their allegations and the accused parties were absolved—although with some collateral damage to their public reputation.
In all three jurisdictions we had clear policies in place to affirm the right of every student and every employee to a safe learning and work environment. Those policies included a reporting mechanism available to any persons who felt they were victimized, or on whose behalf a report was made by a concerned third party. They also spelt out procedures by which designated managers would shepherd each case to its conclusion. In every case but two, proper procedures were followed.
Both those situations involved mistakes by two school principals (both of whom were acting in what they believed to be the best interests of their students, who were minors), who decided to investigate the reports of sexual misconduct themselves. The policy clearly stated—in accordance with provincial law—that, in such situations, it is the duty of the responsible official to contact the police or child welfare authorities, who will handle the investigation. The principals, whose performance records to that point were unsullied, erred badly. They were subsequently charged, found guilty, and fined. Duly reprimanded, they were eventually reinstated to their positions, presumably much the wiser.
One of the perpetrators in those two cases, a teacher, was subsequently cleared of wrongdoing. The other, a custodian, was eventually charged by police and found guilty at trial.
The sexual harassment situations were investigated internally by my staff, and all parties were given the right to state their cases—although not face-to-face, unless the victims so chose. In every case, the accused parties admitted to their actions, professed not to realize they had caused offense, expressed remorse, apologized, and vowed not to re-offend. I issued formal, written reprimands to them and, following a suspension, they were also reinstated. To my knowledge, there was no repeat of their behaviours.
In three of the criminal cases, one perpetrator pled guilty, two (a teacher and the aforementioned custodian) were found guilty at trial, and jail sentences were imposed on all of them. In each case, the school board terminated their employment and I reported the two teachers' names to the ministry of education, which revoked their teaching certificates.
The fourth criminal case was dismissed by the judge at trial, where he deemed the Crown had failed to prove its case under the law. That teacher, however, was dismissed by the school board even before the trial, because we had sufficient evidence to determine that he had behaved unprofessionally, without regard for the welfare of the seventeen-year-old student with whom he had engaged in sexual relations. Whether or not the criminal justice system regarded him as a predator who should not be near vulnerable young people, the school board certainly did.
I subsequently reported that case to the provincial college of teachers (which, by then, had taken over the professional disciplinary role from the ministry). The college did not revoke the teacher's certificate—perhaps because he had been found not guilty of a criminal offense. Those are two decisions I disagree with to this day.
In the two cases where accusers recanted—after sensitive counseling sessions with child welfare authorities—the accused teachers were returned to duty after having been assigned to a central-office work-site during the investigations. The publicity surrounding their cases, however, had the unfortunate result of leaving them unfairly tarred by the brush of public opinion.
In the wake of the recent spurt of allegations of sexual misconduct against prominent men—and based upon these experiences of mine—it strikes me that we must, indeed, pay attention to every accuser's claims. Yes, some may be spurious, some even outright false, but there is no question that such abuses do exist in our schools and workplaces.
It seems to me, as well, that there is a difference between the exposure of such misbehaviours, with a concomitant imposition of suitable, punitive measures (call that the ethical bar, to protect the most vulnerable among us), and the higher standard required for criminal prosecution (call that the legal bar of guilt beyond a reasonable doubt). Everyone is entitled to his or her day in court if charges are laid. But sadly, some predators are never charged.
Even more importantly, everyone is entitled to personal safety in their schools and workplaces. People in authority must listen and give a voice to those who feel abused and disempowered. Under my watch, some perpetrators, even if not guilty of offenses under 'black letter' law, were indeed guilty of sexual misconduct. And so, the employer had to act, even if the courts did not.
I'm not sure we did everything right in the situations I encountered those many years back. Despite our best intentions, people got hurt. But the one thing we did not do is ignore the pleas for help.
Nor should any of us now at this watershed moment in time.

When I was about ten years old, a long time ago now, my father gave me some needed advice to deal with bullies at school. The ones who could outrun me.
"Don't run away," he said. "That's what they want, and they'll keep coming after you. It'll never stop."
I asked what I should do, instead. "Hit them," he said without hesitation.
When I pointed out that such a response might result in a worse beating than usual, he said, "Maybe. But if you land one good punch, right in the schnozz, for example, they'll think twice the next time. Bullies don't like to get hurt."
I honestly don't know if that was wise counsel or not. But I remember ending up in a few fights for awhile afterwards, often enough that my mother spoke to my father about his advice. For her, fighting was never the answer. Talking through a problem was always the preferable option.
I've been an adult for quite a long time since then. And there have been occasions through the years when I felt put upon unfairly by someone—not physically, perhaps, but in a bullying manner. And I've wondered what would have happened at those times if I had continued to follow my father's advice.
Don't like somebody's behaviour? Hit him!
I suspect I might have been charged with assault, my only defense being that I was following a strategy that was, perhaps, legitimate once upon a time—but no longer.
It reminds me of the tragic situations I read about too often, it seems, in the great republic to the south of us, the Land of the Free, the Home of the Brave.
In 1791, more than 225 years ago, the American government adopted an amendment to their constitution, which had been ratified two years earlier. That amendment bestowed upon every citizen the right to keep and bear arms. The arms in question in the eighteenth century, of course, bore little resemblance to the guns available today—some of which constitute weapons of mass destruction, by any reasonable definition.
As recently as last year, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled: …the Second Amendment extends, prima facie, to all instruments that constitute bearable arms, even those that were not in existence at the time of the founding; and further, that its protection is not limited to …only those weapons useful in warfare.
According to the New York Times, more Americans "…have died from guns in the United States since 1968 than on battlefields of all the wars in American history."
Data from the National Vital Statistics System of the U. S. Centers for Disease Control, through 2015, show that—
on average, there are 12,000 gun homicides every year in the U.S.;
seven children are killed with guns in the U.S. on an average day;
America's gun homicide rate is more than 25 times the average of other nations.
A list of firearm fatalities in the U.S. since 1999 yields more than 440,000 killed, including the awful massacres of school children in Columbine, Colorado in 1999, and in Newtown, Connecticut in 2012.
And this past week, of course, the lives of fifty-eight innocent souls were snuffed out in Las Vegas, Nevada by a deranged killer with an arsenal of military-grade, automatic weapons at his disposal. All legally purchased.
As has been noted many times elsewhere, shocked politicians offer their thoughts and prayers every time to the grieving families. Far fewer of them, however, think to call for an end to the madness. Apparently, the slaughter of American children has become something that can be tolerated in the name of preserving the sanctity of the Second Amendment.
That provision may have been acceptable, even advisable, when it was ratified those many years ago. Today, however, a nation's fawning adherence to it strikes me as being even less wise than a decision on my part to follow my father's long-ago advice into adulthood.
When—if ever, I wonder—will that gloriously-blessed, yet grievously-afflicted nation grow up?

Comox Valley cat rescue organization hit by camera theft
"Someone is taking from an organization trying to help cats who are surviving in the wild."
Erin Haluschak
A Vancouver Island non-profit whose goal is to trap lost or relocated cats within the Comox Valley is reeling, after some of its equipment has gone missing.
CATS – Cat Advocates Teaching & Saving, a grassroots organization that rescues lost, abandoned and relocated (dumped) cats within the area has had three of its cameras stolen within the last four months.
"I'm very frustrated," said Aimee Minor, president of CATS. "It's the point; (someone) is taking from an organization trying to help cats who are surviving in the wild. What kind of person does that?"
Minor, along with a growing group of dedicated volunteers, visits various feeding and trapping locations in the Valley from Fanny Bay to the Strathcona Parkway to find abandoned cats.
RELATED: Filling the gap rescuing relocated cats
They have set up feeding stations along with wilderness cameras at the locations, which capture images of cats so that Minor and the volunteers can determine more information about the felines and create a trapping plan.
"The cameras serve two purposes: one, to see cat activity; and two, for me to see the cat's routine. Its behaviour tells me a lot about the cat – whether it is feral, social, emancipated and whether it was dumped. Something as simple as to what direction the cat is coming from can tell me a lot."
CATS was officially formed in 2019, and during the past year, the group rescued 59 cats. This year, Minor explained they are projecting more than 100 rescues.
The first time Minor noticed a camera that had gone missing was in late November 2019, taken from an area where CATS had just trapped four cats.
"They are social and were likely related and just dumped out there. Likely, it was a crime of opportunity," she said.
A few weeks later, a second camera went missing.
Another camera was taken at a different location. Minor doesn't believe that either camera was taken from people looking to dump cats.
Each camera is marked with 'CATS,' and they are camouflaged in a nearby tree close to the trapping site.
Minor is extremely frustrated by what happened, particularly as the organization is 100 per cent volunteer-run and operating costs are raised through fundraising.
"It's more than just money too," she explained and added each camera is valued at about $50, not including the cost of the SD card inside.
"(Dumping cats) is a community problem and we're helping in a small fraction to solve that problem. We're trying to make a dent. Hindering rescues is almost as bad as the people who put the cats out there."
In addition to feeding/trapping and education, CATS also offers nutrition advice, lost cat assistance and help with creating a cat patio and enclosure.
In addition to volunteers, CATS is also seeking donations of any kind. The organization can use wet food and monetary donations immediately, but Minor said they will not turn down any donation of any kind, as items will be stored and used for their annual garage sales.

When to use the subjunctive in Spanish?
When to use the subjunctive?
In our introduction to the subjunctive, we said that fundamentally, the subjunctive is a special verb form that marks a non-assertion. A non-assertion is something like a "snapshot" of a situation without saying that it actually takes or took place— the rough equivalent of English phrases such as "Daniel coming", "for Mary to wait", that Bill should come back etc.
To form the imperative in many cases.
in such cases, the subjunctive is generally optional.

Chortí, Mayan Indians of eastern Guatemala and Honduras and formerly of adjoining parts of El Salvador. The Chortí are linguistically related to the Chol and Chontal (qq.v.) of Chiapas, Oaxaca, and Tabasco in southeastern Mexico. Culturally, however, the Chortí are more similar to their neighbours on the west, the Pocomam. They live in an uneven terrain varying from lowlands to mountains; climate is warm and wet in the lowlands, cool to cold in the highlands.
The Chortí are agriculturalists and small-scale merchants. Individual Chortí villages specialize in a crop or craft product, which they trade or sell to other Chortí villages to provide necessities. Corn (maize), fruits and vegetables, sugarcane, coffee and tobacco, and beans are among village agricultural specializations. Baskets, hats, woven mats, tanned leather, wood products and carpentry, pottery, charcoal, leather goods, soap, indigo dye, and processed sugarcane are among the goods and skills traded. Tortillas and beans are dietary staples.
Several sleeping houses, a kitchen, and outbuildings make up the typical household among the Chortí. Their buildings are constructed of leaves, poles, or thatch on a pole framework. Weaving and pottery making are practiced at the household level as well as at the village industrial level. Their clothing is semitraditional; women wear handwoven skirts and blouses and men wear white cotton shirts and pants.
Households made up of eight or nine related families are the rule among the Chortí; the father of the family group acts as head of household. Ritual kinship bonds are made at the baptism of children. Their religion is basically Roman Catholic, and is centred on the veneration of patron saints. The Catholic laymen's society (cofradía) arranges fiestas and has care of the village's patron saint. Various native gods and spirits are acknowledged and propitiated.

Of these the Pocomam, Chortí, and Lenca, all related to the Maya, were the more ancient, but the Pipil, whose civilization resembled that of the Aztecs in Mexico, were predominant.

New Heroes Promo Aims To Keep Us Guessing
Filed to:Heroes
Heroes, NBC's show about mutants who mostly use their superpowers for drama good, has never struck us as the most introspective show. But that could be about to change — this new promo for next fall's Heroes Volume 3: Villains hints that every hero could have a villain inside. Could Hiro be about to discover his dark side? The promo also gives some hints about who lived and who died after the end of season two. Meanwhile, there are new spoilers about a new arch-nemesis for Hiro on the show.
The super-fast-running girl, who we previously reported was named Joy, has had her name changed to Daphne. And she's going to be played by Brea Grant, who spilled some details about an early scene:
I'm stealing a secret that's been kept in Hiro's family for a long time that he's just now found... He stops time right as I grab it, but in that second it took him to grab it, I almost make it out of the office...
Daphne's superpower lets her operate "at three speeds" (simultaneously?) and she leaves a "supersonic wake" in her path when Hiro tries to stop time around her. Daphne calls herself The Speedster, which could be the first time a character on Heroes has had a superhero/supervillain name. (Maybe Adam will start calling himself "the Fake Samurai"?) And Daphne has been on her own for a long time. Says Hiro actor Masi Oka:
Her character is supposed to be Hiro's Joker... Batman has The Joker. Hiro has Daphne. This is the season where Hiro finally finds his arch nemesis, and it happens to be this Speedster. I kind of equate it more to Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner, except Daphne says more than "meep-meep."
Either for her casting session or for some part of the show, Grant had to stand on a wierd platform and be photographed in her underwear. "I imagine those pictures will end up on the internet at some point."

Shops at Merrick Park invites residents and visitors to experience the world-famous Los Trompos art exhibition created by Mexican designers Héctor Esrawe and Ignacio Cadena. This interactive vibrant outdoor display will make its South Florida debut from January 31 through February 28.
Shops at Merrick Park, known for its pristine outdoor shopping with lush green spaces and a fine collection of retailers in the heart of Coral Gables, will be the perfect backdrop for the world- famous Los Trompos art exhibition created by Mexican designers Héctor Esrawe and Ignacio Cadena. This interactive vibrant outdoor display will make its South Florida debut from January 31 through February 28.
"Los Trompos," which means "spinning tops" in Spanish, is a traveling exhibit that has been displayed in cities around the world, including Mexico City, Paris, and New York. The lively installation will feature eight larger-than-life, three-dimensional colorful spinning tops in a variety of colors and shapes that invite visitors to play and engage with the art. The art draws its inspiration from a toy that has been popular with children around the world since the dawn of time.
The colorful surfaces of each top are created, in part, by fabric woven in a traditional Mexican style. The fabric is stretched over the modules to seat several people at once. Functioning as both artwork and a rotating platform, each sculpture acts as a gathering place for relaxation, social interaction and entertainment.
This large-scale, artistic installation engages visitors in a way that is both meaningful and playful. By working together to create momentum, visitors can spin the tops on their bases.
Los Trompos was first commissioned by High Museum of Arts, Atlanta. Owners of Los Trompos are DTE Energy Beacon Park Foundation and The Downtown Detroit Partnership. The tour producer is Creos.
Los Trompos at Shops at Merrick Park is free to attend (no ticket required). Visitors are encouraged to take the tops for a spin, sit back and relax, or pose for the perfect photo opportunity. The exhibit is suitable for all ages.

Police have released a picture of a boy officers want to trace in connection with a collision in Angmering.
A spokesman said the suspect and a pillion were riding a motorcycle on the pavement in Rowan Way at around 5.30pm on Saturday (September 8) when they collided with a cyclist.
The cyclist suffered minor injuries and the suspect and pillion left the scene, said police.
PC Lisa Holt said: "The suspect and pillion are described as aged between 16 and 17 and were both wearing grey tracksuits.
"Riding a motorcycle on the pavement is extremely dangerous and the injuries suffered by the cyclist could have been a lot worse.
Police have asked anyone with information on the pair to report it online or call 101 quoting 930 of 08/09.

Q: Document a shiny application Is there any way to generate documentation for a R shiny application?
It becomes very hard to maintain a shiny application without documentation.
It seems that all the eco-system of tests/documentation is created for an R package structure. Maybe we can emulate/extend this behavior for a shiny application?
An example :
A reactive expression is typically an R shiny element taht can contain complex data structure.
   filtered_dat <- reactive({
      dx[ NAME == input$crr & TOU == input$tou &
            PlotYear == input$year. & PlotMonth == input$season]
    })

To give more context, I am here in the context of building a complete web application using R shiny. All the business-logic is wrapped in a separated  package(s).
For testing Ui I think it is complicated ( one can use Rselenium for example) , but generating doc from roxygen2 comments is just parsing. It should be easy to have such tool.

A: It is a great question. How do you create a complex clear web application with Shiny?I believe that organize a huge project is the weakness of Shiny architecture.
First, Shiny creates a web in only one html document. This document is divided in layers, to develop a huge application you need to manage correctly the layers. However, this thing presents a significant problem, how do you organize the code?
Well, here, there are different ways to do that. Indeed you can apply different methods like Joe Cheng:

*

*https://github.com/jcheng5/shiny-partials
In my case, in a huge project I implemented the MVC pattern but adapting it to the Shiny architecture.

A: update
Add an example of shiny application

There is not an ideal solution but this is basically what I am doing to deal with my shiny applications to create a robust and well "documented" shiny application:

*

*Create a package where you put all your logic within it. Don't worry to call input/output structure from the package as an argument. Also try to create some controls within your package. For example you can have an inline version of some basic shiny controls.

A typical package will have this structure:
 R
     ui-view1.R
     ui-view2.R
     server-server1.R
     server-server2.R
     controls.R

*

*Create a shiny application that is structured in a way that reflects your different applications elements. Basically create a view/server files for each app page. You can of course put the shiny application under inst/ui or put it in a separate project.

Here an example:
 app
     ui.R
     server.R
     global.R
     views
        view1.R
        view2.R
     servers
        server1.R
        server2.R
     init
        global1.R
        gloabl2.R

UPDATE: Derrick Evans charged with violent entry and knowingly entering a restricted area
Yazmin Rodriguez
UPDATE: Derrick Evans has been charged with knowingly entering or remaining in any restricted building or grounds without lawful authority and violent entry and disorderly conduct on capitol grounds.
According to a criminal complaint, on January 6, 2021, Derrick Evans was one the many individuals who forced their way up through barricades at the Capitol building. Evans live streamed a video of him encouraging a crowd to unlawfully enter the Capitol. In the video, Evans identifies himself. The video, which was 5 minutes long, shows him in the midst of a large crowd outside the Capitol doors, yelling "There we go! Open the door! Our house! Our house!"
Evans also posted a meme on his Facebook account regarding his appearance at the Capitol. Later in the day, Evans posted an "official statement" saying he was there as an independent member of the media to film history.
CHARLESTON, WV (WOAY)- A West Virginia state lawmaker has been charged with entering a restricted area of the U.S. Capitol after he livestreamed himself with rioters, the Justice Department announced Friday.
Ken Kohl, a top deputy federal prosecutor in Washington, announced the charge against Derrick Evans on a call in which he presented dozens of new charges against members of a mob that stormed the Capitol on Wednesday.
It wasn't immediately announced if Evans is in custody. Several other state lawmakers across the country traveled to Washington, D.C., for demonstrations this week but it's unknown if any other elected official joined the mob of Donald Trump supporters attacking the U.S. Capitol.
A growing number of Republicans and Democrats said they want to expel Evans from the legislature if he does not resign. His attorney, John Bryan, said late Thursday that the delegate didn't commit a crime and doesn't plan to resign.
Yazmin Rodriguez is currently the evening anchor for WOAY. She was born in Newark, New Jersey then later headed down to the Jersey shore where she received her bachelor's degree in television and radio from Monmouth University.

Alameda Sun
Unconscious Man Reunited with Family
Sun Staff Reports
The Alameda Police Department (APD) was able to identify a man who was found in public alone and unresponsive Saturday, Dec. 10.
APD identified the man on Monday, Dec. 12, with the help of a lcaol resident who recognized the man after seeing a photo of him in a news alert. He later notified first responders.
The unresponsive man was identified as an Oakland resident. APD sent out a message on its Facebook page notifying the public they have discovered the man's identity.
"Thank you to everyone who shared our photo and story," wrote APD in the post. "The public was instrumental in contacting (the) man's family and having them get in touch with our investigators."
No foul play is suspected in the man's medical condition. He has been reunited with his family.
After discovering the unconscious man, APD transported him to a local hospital for treatment. APD put out a press release with the man's photo seeking help from the community in identifying him. He was described as an Asian male, between 40 and 60 years old, 5 feet, 8 inches tall and weighing 180 pounds. In the photo, the man appears in hospital garb with a tube sticking out of his nose.
News alerts seeking the public's help appeared online, in print and on local television.
He was found wearing a black coat, gray and black long-sleeved shirt with "Maserati" written on the left chest area, blue sweatpants with "Answersn" written in cursive down the right leg and brown shoes.

Q: Python: email.message_from_string performance with large data in email body I've been playing around with Python's imaplib and email module recently. I tried sending and receiving large emails (with most of the data in the body of the email rather than attachments) using the imaplib/email modules.
However, I've noticed a problem when I download large emails (of size greater than 8MB or so) from the email server and format them using the "email.message_from_string()" method. The time taken by that method seems to take a really long time (average of around 300-310 seconds for a 16 MB email). Note: Sending such a large email doesn't take too much time, about 40 seconds approximately. Again, all the data is in the body of the email -- not in the attachments. If I download the same email with all the data as attachments, the entire operation finishes in 30-40 seconds.
This is what I'm doing:
buf = []
t, d = mailacct.search(None, 'SUBJECT', subj)
for num in d:
    t, msg = mailacct.fetch(num, '(RFC822)')

    for resp in msg:
        if isinstance(resp, tuple):
            buf.append(email.message_from_string(resp[1])

I've timed each part of the code separately. mailacct.search and mailacct.fetch both finish in about 30-40 seconds for a 16 MB email. The line with email.message_from_string(resp[1]) takes around 280-300 seconds.
I'm a python noob. So am I doing something really inefficient in the above code? Or does the problem lie with the email.message_from_string() method, perhaps an inefficient implementation? Or could it be that email bodies were never meant to contain large amounts of data, and hence the poor performance?
* EDIT *:
Additional info: I used imaplib.IMAP4_SSL for creating IMAP connections. I used imaplib.append() to upload messages to the email account first. I used randomly generated binary data for the payload.

A: Okay, I did some digging on my own by examining the source code for the email module. The parsing function (parse()) in email/parser.py is the function which actually processes the email message when email.message_from_string() is called. It seems to parse strings in blocks of 8192 bytes which is why it takes so long for large data. I changed the code so that it read and processed the whole string at once and there was a tremendous improvement in the time taken to process the large email message.
I'm assuming it was initially set to process strings in blocks of 8192 to handle really really large strings? Is there a better way to do this rather than changing the email module source code?


Propecia tablets are a prescription-only medication for male pattern hair loss. Propecia contains finasteride and has been proven to stop hair loss or encourage hair regrowth in 9 out of 10 men.
You can order hair loss treatment from our convenient UK-based online doctor service. To order, you need to fill in our brief questionnaire and select your preferred treatment. Our doctors will review your order and approve appropriate treatment.
Propecia treats male hair loss, which is caused by an over-sensitivity to a particular hormone (known as dihydrotestosterone or DHT) found near the scalp. Propecia tablets increase the number of hairs on the scalp and prevent further hair loss, without affecting your body hair. They work by blocking the enzyme that processes testosterone and turns it into DHT. It leads to a small increase in testosterone and encourages hair growth. The active ingredient in Propecia is finasteride.
How are finasteride tablets taken?
Swallow your Propecia tablets with a full glass of water, with or without food. The normal dosage is one tablet a day. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember, unless it's already time for your next dose (i.e. it's been about 24 hours). In that case, just skip the missed dose and take the next one as usual. Do not exceed the recommended finasteride dosage. If you have exceeded the dosage by accident, please seek medical help right away.
When Should Men Take Propecia? When Is It Too Late?
Most research on Propecia has involved men between 30 and 50, simply because many men over 60 choose to live with their hair loss. In general, men between 40 and 50 are most concerned with hair loss and would like to delay losing their hair by 5-10 years. Propecia is just as effective at treating earlier hair loss in younger men (for example 20 year olds) as it is for older men.
Stopping Hair Loss – Does It Work?
It takes 3-12 months for the finasteride in Propecia to be fully effective and lead to hair regrowth (or to stop hair loss). This is because hair loss and regrowth are very slow processes that happen over a course of several months. The treatment should work within one year (3-6 months in most cases) - it won't work overnight. Propecia tablets will only stop hair loss (or lead to regrowth) for the duration of your treatment. Once you stop taking them, you will lose the hair that grew back within the next 6-12 months. In order for your treatment to be successful, you need to take finasteride tablets every day as advised.
Is it safe to buy Propecia online?
Many illegal, unregulated drugs are sold on the Internet, so it's very important that you visit reliable, CQC-regulated websites. Propecia tablets are only available on prescription as you need a doctor's assessment to ensure Propecia is suitable for you. Propecia is not available on the NHS.
You must tell your doctor if you suffer from any kidney or liver disease, if you are allergic to finasteride or any foods. It is also important, that you inform your doctor of any medicines, herbs or hormones you are currently taking.
Can women use Propecia tablets, too?
Finasteride tablets are not suitable for women or children. Men who are already taking Finasteride to treat prostate conditions are also advised to abstain from taking Propecia. It is advisable to visit your GP for a general check-up once a year. This is a common procedure when taking medication in the long-term.
What is the standard Propecia dosage?
You should take one Propecia tablet daily. The tablet can be taken with or without food. You should notice an improvement within 3 - 6 months of beginning your treatment. In order for Propecia to work, you need to take it regularly. It should take 9 to 12 months until you experience the same hair loss symptoms you had prior to taking finasteride tablets.
Can I increase the dosage if Propecia doesn't seem to work?
No. There is no correlation between an increased finasteride dosage and effectivity. You may need to be patient and continue taking your daily tablet for several months to see a significant improvement.
What do I need to do when I have forgotten to take a tablet?
Please continue taking one tablet every day - do not take two finasteride tablets on the same day to make up for the dose you missed.
Every Propecia tablet contains 1mg of the active ingredient Finasteride.
How can I tell my pack of propecia contains the original medication?
Propecia tablets have a reddish-brown colour. They are octogonal, convex and are embossed with "P" on one side and "Propecia" on the other.
If you are allergic to finasteride you may experience skin rashes or hives, swelling of the face and difficulty breathing.
Propecia can falsify the results of a prostate cancer blood test called PSA. If your doctor suggests you take this test, please ensure you mention that you are currently undergoing hair loss treatment with Propecia.
Very rarely, there have been reported cases of infertility and breast cancer in men who take Propecia, but the relationship of these illnesses to the medication is not clear.
Please ensure you keep Propecia out of the reach of children at all times.
Pregnant women must not touch broken Propecia tablets. Coming into contact with the active ingredient finasteride can affect the baby's sexual organs. If you are pregnant and have come in contact with finasteride, please consult a doctor immediately.
Finasteride is also prescribed as a treatment for particular prostate problems. If you are already taking finasteride, you must not take propecia in addition.
As well as topical treatments like shampoos, you can also treat your hair loss with oral tablets. Zava offers both shampoos and oral tablets to help reduce hair loss and promote new hair growth.


Encryption for the backed up image file can help users to better ensure the safety of data and files. AOMEI Backupper also provides this option during the process of backup.
In cryptography, encryption refers to encode messages or information so that it can not be accessed by hackers and unauthorized party. Encryption, by itself, can protect the confidentiality of messages. And during the process of disk/partition/volume backup, the added assisting feature of "encryption" can help to ensure the safety of the backed up image file better, because only the ones who know the password can restore the backed up image file while other can not.
For example, if you have backed up the confidential data about your company cooperation item to an image file, the encryption for the backup can ensure that only the ones who know the password can restore it. Thus, there is no need for you to worry that the information would leak out.
AOMEI Backupper also provides this function to assist the users in data protection. When backing up the disk/partition, there will be a "Backup Options" item, you can set the password easily by clicking this option.
First, select a backup type under the "Backup" tab, here set "Partition Backup" as an example.
Then, after setting the source and the destination partition, you can encrypt the image file by clicking the "Backup Options" on the same interface.
Third, you can set a password by ticking the "Enable encryption for backups" option and inputting the password. And then click "OK".
