Pola Nireńska, geboren als Pola Nirensztajn (geb. 28. Juli 1910 in Warschau, Kongresspolen; gest. 25. Juli 1992 in Bethesda, Maryland, USA) war eine international bekannte polnisch-amerikanische Tänzerin und Choreografin.

Biografie

Europa
Sie wurde 1910 als Pola Nirensztajn in Warschau in einer gutsituierten jüdischen Familie als Tochter eines Krawattenherstellers geboren und begann schon im Kindesalter zu tanzen. Ihre Eltern, orthodoxe Juden, waren jedoch davon nicht begeistert, und nur nachdem ihr Vater die Erlaubnis eines Rabbiners eingeholt hatte, durfte sie als Neunjährige erstmals an einem Tanz-Camp teilnehmen.

Als Jugendliche war Pola von der deutschen Choreografin Mary Wigman fasziniert. Nach mehrtägigen Auseinandersetzungen mit ihren Eltern konnte sie eine 1928 eine Ausbildung an Wigmans Schule für Ausdruckstanz an der Bautzner Straße in Dresden beginnen und nach drei Jahren erfolgreich abschließen. Sie begab sich dann mit der Tanztruppe auf deren erste Amerika-Tour und nahm den polnisch klingenden Namen Nireńska an.

1933 nach der Machtergreifung der Nationalsozialisten sahen sich Wigman und ihre Schule Schwierigkeiten seitens des NS-Regimes ausgesetzt. Nireńska kehrte für ein Jahr nach Warschau zurück, wo sie Tanzunterricht erteilte und für einen internationalen Tanzkongress einen Soloauftritt inszenieren konnte, der ihr sowohl Bewunderung als auch bissige antisemitisch motivierte Kritiken einbrachte. 1934 verließ sie Polen und zog nach Kurzaufenthalten in Wien und Florenz nach London, wo sie ihre Tanzstudien bei Kurt Jooss und Sigurd Leeder fortsetzte.

Im Zweiten Weltkrieg konnten ihre Eltern und ihr Bruder nach Palästina fliehen, doch Dutzende ihrer Familienmitglieder wurden im Holocaust umgebracht. In den Kriegsjahren hatte sie zahlreiche Auftritte vor Soldaten und für die polnische Exilregierung, choreografierte aber keine neuen Stücke. 1946 heiratete sie John Justin, einen britischen Schauspieler von aristokratischer Herkunft. 1949 ließ sie sich von ihm scheiden und wanderte anschließend in die USA aus.

USA
In den USA ließ sich Nireńska in Washington nieder, wo sie die Washington Dance Company eröffnete. 1965 heiratete sie den polnischen Diplomaten Jan Karski, den sie in London kennengelernt hatte. Sie lebte mit Karski bis zu ihrem Tod, obwohl die beiden jeweils eigene Wege gingen. Gegen Ende der 1960er Jahre beschloss sie, das Tanzen aufzugeben, widmete sich der Fotografie und gewann damit einige Auszeichnungen. Sie litt jedoch unter zunehmenden Altersbeschwerden und Depressionen. Ihre letzte Choreografie, Holocaust Tetralogy, entstand in den 1980er Jahren, nachdem Karski von Claude Lanzmann für seinen Film Shoah interviewt worden war. Die Tetralogie wurde 1990 von Alan M. Kriegsman, dem Tanzkritiker der Washington Post, wie folgt beschrieben:

Nach mehreren erfolglosen Suizidversuchen fand Nireńska kurz vor ihrem 82. Geburtstag den Tod, als sie vom Balkon ihrer Wohnung im elften Stock eines Hochhauses stürzte. Kurz nach ihrem Tod errichtete ihr Karski eine nach ihm und seiner Gattin benannte Auszeichnung (The Jan Karski and Pola Nirenska Award), die vom jüdischen wissenschaftlichen Institut YIVO ausgerichtet wird, wobei Beiträge jüdischer Autoren zu polnischer Kultur und Wissenschaft geehrt werden.

M'log: Adobe leading the way? Of all people?
It happening, however odd this may seem: Adobe is leading the way. The company that hardly ever seemed to care about Linux in the past, has now released Flash 10 beta for *all* popular operating systems. Of course, I installed the beta on my fairly new Hardy install.
I noticed a couple of things which you might find useful. First of all: Flash 10 seems to have Pulseaudio support built in. That *is* good. I removed the old player, removed the extra lib in installed (see this post) and downloaded the beta from here. It's a matter of downloading, untarring and running the packaged installer. Yes, you read it correctly: "installer". And it actually does more than just copying the file: it does a lot of checks on architecture, browser, directory, version of glibc etc.) .


It is mainly used in for packing the carton on pallet for safety transportation, or packing the package before post it for waterproof and dustproof, which has the function of self-adhering to protect goods from loosing, damping, dirt and damage.
1,Stretch film is wrapped around pallets, boxes or bundling small items. It ensures safe & secure delivery of packages.
2,Protects shipment from water, dirt, moisture & damage caused by excess movement.
3,Stretch Film is economical, tough, and durable.


I was perusing The Instagram a few months ago and I ran into a chef making rutabaga noodles. I was like wuuut?! How? I wanted to know. He was tossing the noodle of rutabaga in a pasta sauce and I thought it was amazing! Well, he used the Vegetable Sheet Cutter attachment from KitchenAid® and I was like WOW!!!
The attachment could not be cooler. For butternut squash, it's best to use the bottleneck part of it (I steamed the rest of it and gave it to Amelia so there was no waste).
It created a good amount of sheets. And then I cut those sheets, vertically, into "pappardelle." If you cut them thinner, you'd get "fettuccine." I say get creative!
One of my favorite Roman dishes is cacio e pepe—it is so easy and delicious. And I love all the pepper and Parmesan-Reggiano.
This recipe, after you cut up the noodles, comes together in about 10 minutes. The ingredient list is as simple as can be. I didn't cook the butternut squash for a super long time because I wanted a bit of texture but feel free to cook it for as long as you'd like!
Using the Vegetable Sheet Cutter attachment, place the butternut squash round into the machine. You may need to cut the butternut squash so it is the correct length. Turn the machine on and cut the butternut squash into sheets. Take those sheets and slice so they are in pappardelle strips.
In a medium saucepan, set over medium heat, add the water and butter. Allow to cook until the butter has melted and whisk vigorously until the two have emulsified. Add the cheese and pepper and mix. Add the butternut squash "noodles" and cook sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Cover and allow to cook for about 5 minutes. Toss the noodle in the sauce. Transfer to plates. Top with additional cheese, and a bit of black pepper.
Your recipe says to please see the note before starting. I don't see the note. Unless it is the instruction in step 1. Am I missing something?
Also, have you successfully used this attachment for other veggies and would you recommend it?
WHAAAAA?! Until I started reading, I assumed you made a pasta dough with butternut squash. I had no idea such an attachment existed! I've never used a Kitchen Aid attachment, but this is tempting me to jump into that world. As someone who is currently (and not enjoying) eating grain-free, this could add some new ways for me to eat veggies (my husband may leave me if he sees another zoodle). So cool!
Haha. I know. It's really cool. You could also make lasagna with the sheets. And definitely try it with the butternut squash and sweet potato. It's a really cool attachment.
So cool – thanks you very much!
This is so cool! So many possibilities!
Your pictures are so aesthetically pleasing and your kitchen is absolutely gorgeous!
Thank you Adrianna — looks like a really good recipe.
My husband suggested microwaving it to soften it next time, but I'm worried that the outside will be soft and the inside sheets will be hard and it'll get stuck again or they noodles won't cook at the same rate.
Have you experienced this problem with the butternut getting stuck? Thanks.

Newly Opened: K11 Artus
Hong Kong is not short of spectacular accommodation, but the new K11 Artus is a serviced residence that promises to deliver as-yet-unseen levels of style and sophistication. Nestled in Tsim Sha Tsui, this "artisanal home" commands an exceptional waterfront location, overlooking the glittering Victoria Harbour. But while the views are impressive, it is the interiors that truly elevate this new property.
While the hotel boasts splendid views of the harbour, both its exterior and interior are also beautifully designed by renowned architects and designers
The vision of Adrian Cheng, founder of K11, the high-end lifestyle and art brand, K11 Artus has harnessed the skills of some of the world's most celebrated interior designers and architects, including Kohn Pedersen Fox (KPF) and a.f.s.o., plus Hong Kong's Joyce Wang, the UK's Fiona Barratt and US-based nemaworkshop. Together they have crafted something truly unique; a premium residence that combines international hotel facilities with creativity and cultural immersion.
K11 Artus comprises 287 residences in a 14-storey tower, all perched atop K11 Musea, the new harbourside cultural-retail destination. Options range from spacious studios to vast three-bedroom suites, which come equipped with open-plan living areas, designer furnishings and cutting-edge amenities. Perfect for short or extended stays, many of the residences also offer floor-to-ceiling windows with panoramic views of the harbour.
Guests are able to enjoy the amazing view of the harbour from the comforts of their bedrooms
With all guests being offered between 48 and 178 square metres of living space, K11 Artus far exceeds the elbow room usually afforded to hotel guests in Hong Kong, creating a home-away-from-home experience. A series of cultural salons - The Living Salon, The Chamber and The Library and The Commune - allow guests to interact with the heritage of Hong Kong, including literature, poetry, art and calligraphy, or just relax and reconnect with friends and fellow residents.
The Commune at K11 Artus is designed for informal gatherings, discussions and as a quiet co-working space
Other onsite facilities include a state-of-the-art gym, a personal training room and an outdoor heated swimming pool with views of the harbour. The lively breakfast room is a great place to start the day, and concierge services are available at the touch of a button via a series of apps, including Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp WeChat and more.
With such a wide range of hotels and residences now available in Hong Kong, catering to every conceivable sector of the market, it takes a truly distinctive property to stand out from the crowd. With its focus on art, design and culture, luxurious amenities and expansive living space, K11 Artus has successfully raised the bar for accommodation in this vibrant city.

Woman acquitted of shooting daughter with BB gun
SHEBOYGAN, Wis.—A Sheboygan woman accused of shooting her 8-year-old daughter in the leg with a BB gun to win a $1 bet has been acquitted of felony child abuse.
Police say 28-year-old Angelique Vandeberg drank 10 to 12 beers before she took the gun her boyfriend offered April 26.
A criminal complaint says the shot didn't break the child's skin because she was wearing three pairs of pants, but a bruise could still be seen days later when a school counselor called police. The child told investigators the shot hurt so much she couldn't walk at first.
Vandeberg said the injury happened three weeks earlier when her daughter fell while riding her bike.
The trial Wednesday lasted about nine hours. The jury deliberated about 90 minutes.

Garden Grove High School
Early life and familyEdit
Thomas was born in Wallace, Idaho, moving with his parents to the Southern California area. He graduated from Garden Grove High School, attended Santa Ana College, earning an associate's degree before transferring to San Francisco State University, where he earned his bachelor's degree and master's degree in political science in 1963 and 1965, respectively. He became an instructor at Bakersfield College before running for and winning a seat in the California State Assembly in 1974. He won election to the House of Representatives in 1978, representing the 18th congressional district.
Thomas married the former Sharon Lynn Hamilton in 1968. They have two grown children. He and his wife are Baptists.[citation needed]
Thomas's official portrait
When Washingtonian magazine polled congressional aides on the "best and worst" of Congress, Thomas was voted #2 for "brainiest", #3 for "workhorse", and #1 for "meanest" and overwhelmingly for "hottest temper" in the House.[3] Thomas is known for being able to comprehend and communicate the intricacies of obscure legislative matters, studying testimony and research reports himself instead of relying on executive summaries from his aides. Thomas is also known for losing his temper when people are unprepared, earning a reputation for sharp interrogations. "He's revered, but he's also reviled to some degree", fellow representative Mark Foley told CQ Weekly.
Thomas was a key proponent of several of President George W. Bush's agenda items, including three major tax cut bills and the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003 (PL 108-173), and was also instrumental in the passage of the Balanced Budget Act of 1997.
On March 6, 2006, Thomas announced he would not seek reelection, retiring after 28 years in the House. A major influence on his decision was the internal GOP term limits that would require him to relinquish his Ways and Means chairmanship even if he were re-elected.[citation needed] Thomas endorsed a former aide, Assemblyman Kevin McCarthy, who was elected to replace him.
In 2007, after leaving the House, Thomas joined the American Enterprise Institute as a visiting fellow working on tax policy, trade policy, and health care policy.[4] Thomas also joined law and lobbying firm Buchanan, Ingersoll & Rooney.[5]
On September 8, 2016, Thomas was named to the Kern Community College District Board of Trustees for Area 1, filling the seat of Rick Wright.[6][7] He did not run for reelection in 2018.[8] He was replaced by Nan Gomez-Heitzeberg.[9]

U.S. House Committee on Administration – Chairman (1995–2001)
1992 Congressional banking scandalEdit
In the 1992 Rubbergate banking scandal, involving House members writing checks when the funds were not available, Bill Thomas bounced 119 checks, the tenth-highest amount for a Republican member of Congress.[10][unreliable source?].
2001 Alleged affair with lobbyistEdit
The Bakersfield Californian published an article on Thomas about an affair with Deborah Steelman,[11] a lobbyist for Cigna, Pfizer, Aetna, United Healthcare Corporation, the Healthcare Leadership Council, and Prudential. Thomas was then chair of the House subcommittee that regulates HMOs. "Any personal failures of commitment or responsibility to my wife, family or friends are just that, personal," the former congressman wrote in an "open letter to friends and neighbors." Neither he nor Deborah Steelman explicitly denied the allegations. Deborah Steelman was promoted to VP of Eli Lilly, steered huge campaign gifts to Thomas's war chest and the health care industry scored big with the passage of the Medicare Modernization Act of 2003.
2003 controversy involving U.S. Capitol policeEdit
In July 2003, Thomas called the U.S. Capitol Police to eject Democrats from a meeting room. A few days later, he tearfully apologized on the House floor for what he called his "just plain stupid" decision to ask the police to eject the Congressmen.[12][13]

Q: How to find N grams of a word in Java? For example if the input is "name" and  the minGram is 1 and maxGramSize is 2 output will consist of n,a,m,e,na,am,me. If the minGram=2, maxGram=4 inputWord=name, output = na,am,me,nam,ame,name.
Function signature can be something like this:
public List<String> generateNGrams(String input, int minGramSize, int maxGramSize)

Initially I tried doing it with for loops, but I was finding it hard to follow the indices. Then I tried solving it using recursion with pen and paper but I'm still struggling with it. Can someone help me with this?

A: One solution:
private static void addNgrams(final int size, final String input,
    final List<String> list)
{
    final int maxStartIndex = input.length() - size;
    for (int i = 0; i < maxStartIndex; i++)
        list.add(input.stubString(i, i + size));
}

public List<String> generateNGrams(final String input, final int minSize,
    final int maxSize)
{
    final List<String> ret = new ArrayList<>();
    for (int size = minSize; size <= maxSize; size++)
        addNgrams(size, input, ret);
    return ret;
}

Note: lacks basic error checkings (for instance, maxSize greater than the size of input; minSize greater than maxSize; others); left as an exercise.

A: Here is a program that recursively generates nGrams: This code also handles the tail grams.
import java.util.ArrayList;

  public class NGrams {

  ArrayList<String> nGrams = new ArrayList<String>();

  public void generateNGrams(String str, int n) {

    if (str.length() == n ) {
        int counter = 0;
        while (counter < n) {
          nGrams.add(str.substring(counter));
          counter++;
        }
        return;
    }

    int counter = 0;
    String gram = "";
    while (counter < n) {
        gram += str.charAt(counter);
        counter++;
    }
    nGrams.add(gram);
    generateNGrams(str.substring(1), n);
  }

  public void printNGrams() {
    for (String str : nGrams) {
        System.out.println(str);
    }
  }

  public static void main(String[] args) {
    NGrams ng = new NGrams();
    ng.generateNGrams("hello world", 3);
    ng.printNGrams();

  }

}

Human rights organizations have come together to try to prevent future Olympic Games from having a harmful affect on host cities' poorest residents.
An Amnesty International activist carries funeral flowers, commemorating victims of police violence, into Rio 2016 Olympic Committee headquarters in Rio de Janeiro, on July 27. Activists are demanding that the Olympic Committee and Rio's government prevent human rights violations during the games.
Next time, think about the risks to vulnerable populations before choosing an Olympic city. That's the take-home message from a coalition of human rights advocates and non government organizations that point to a host of foreseeable problems confronting Rio de Janeiro.
The attempt to clean up Rio before the 2016 Summer Games has resulted in human rights violations, say the members of the Sports and Rights Alliance (SRA), including the forced relocation of tens of thousands of people, poor labor conditions, and an increase in the often war-like tensions between the police and Rio's poorest neighborhoods.
The goal must be improving "the human rights situation all over the world," explains Sylvia Schenk of Transparency International, one of the NGOs making up the SRA. Awarding the Olympic Games to a city should lead to better conditions in that city, not worse, she tells The Christian Science Monitor.
"Above all," she says, officials have an obligation "to prevent any human rights abuses directly linked to the Olympic Games."
Ms. Schenk and her colleagues are calling for two major changes: stricter requirements for bidding criteria and the higher standards in host city contracts, particularly on the issue of human rights.
She says that the International Olympic Committee (IOC) has the most leverage during the bidding process, making that a vital opportunity to stress the importance of human rights.
"The host city contract of 2024 is going to be revised after the Rio Olympics, and what we are asking the IOC is to put human rights measures in the host city contract," says Andrea Florence, a lawyer for SRA member Terre des Hommes, in an interview with the Monitor.
The Olympic Committee revises the host city contract following each Olympics in light of problems that arose throughout the process.
Last week, the IOC agreed to meet with SRA members to discuss their recommendations. On Wednesday, the IOC said it will introduce a mechanism for reporters covering the Olympics to report violations of press freedom.
Many countries see hosting major international events like the World Cup or the Olympic Games as an opportunity to improve infrastructure, with a community mobilized for change and a large budget to invest in public works.
In Rio, this has manifested itself in new transit and bus lines and a redeveloped port area, but the pre-Olympic improvements also involved security measures that activists say have heightened tensions between police and the favelas, slum neighborhoods outside Rio.
According to Átila Pereira Roque, the director general of Amnesty International Brazil, the changes that officials call increased security are reinforcing stereotypes that paint poor men, particularly those of African descent, as dangerous criminals – increasing their risk of being fatally shot by police.
Police killings in Rio jumped more than 100 percent in the past year, according to Amnesty International. Since 2009, when the city won its Olympic host bid, police have killed more than 2,600 people in Rio, the group says.
This trend has been seen before in Rio, said Renata Neder, a human rights adviser at Amnesty. In 2007, when Rio hosted the Pan-American Games, deaths rose by 30 percent, she told The Guardian. In 2014, when the World Cup came to Brazil, they rose by 40 percent.
"The sporting authorities did not learn from the Pan American Games or the World Cup and did not put in place any measures to stop this happening again in the run-up to the Olympics," said Ms. Neder.
Several favelas have been demolished to make room for new stadiums and hotels to house the influx of athletes and spectators. A Rio city spokeswoman defended the practice to The Washington Post, saying that families were relocated into better public housing than they had lived in in the favelas. Residents, however, spoke of communities destroyed as city officials coerced people into leaving their homes.
"The Olympic values and ideals ... need to be implemented in the structure of the IOC contracts so that they do no harm," Florence says. "It is time they move it forward and really implement those principles."

Pacino's "Wilde Salome" Trailer & Pics Prove Jessica Chastain Is in EVERYTHING
Published Aug 31, 2011 at 11:00 AM | Updated at 2:40 PM EDT on May 30, 2012
Al Pacino got so caught up in his love for Oscar Wilde's "Salome" that he staged a production of it, while simultaneously directing a film about the play, and a documentary about the author. The new trailer that just came out makes only a little more sense of things:
What the trailer doesn't explain is that Wilde's "Salome" is a retelling of the Biblical story of the woman who demanded the head of John the Baptist on a silver platter as payment for doing the dance of the seven veils.
And can we talk briefly about how Jessica Chastain came out of nowhere to star in seven films--"The Debt," "Tree of Life," "Take Shelter," "The Help," "Texas Killing Fields," "Coriolanus" and "Wilde Salome"--this year? Has this ever happened before? If Hollywood gave out a Rookie of the Year Award, they'd have to change its name to the Jessica Chastain Award.
Here's the synopsis from the film's website:
Referred to by actor/director Al Pacino as his most personal project ever, the unconventional feature documentary Wilde Salome invites audiences into Pacino's private world, as he explores the complexities of Oscar Wilde's acclaimed play Salome, Wilde himself and the birth of a rising star, in actress Jessica Chastain.
The film offers an unprecedented behind the scenes look at Pacino's odyssey. Pacino's raw exploration in Wilde Salome is one of obsession, determination, commitment and above all, passion. Wilde Salome is unlike any other documentary, a profound vision that explores religion, literature, politics, violence and sexuality from one of the world's greatest artists—writer, Oscar Wilde.
"Wilde Salome" will be showing at the Venice Film Festival. One can only assume that Al Pacino made "Jack & Jill" to pay for this--we just hope it was worth it.

Give Me My Remote > Constantine > NBC Picks Up CONSTANTINE to Series
NBC Picks Up CONSTANTINE to Series
May 8, 2014 by Marisa Roffman
NBC has picked up CONSTANTINE, a series based on the DC Comics books, for the 2014-2015 season. (The network had previously released a photo of series star Matt Ryan in character.)
This is NBC's description of the series: "Based on the wildly popular comic book series "Hellblazer" from DC Comics, seasoned demon hunter and master of the occult John Constantine (Matt Ryan, "Criminal Minds") specializes in giving hell… hell. Armed with a ferocious knowledge of the dark arts and his wickedly naughty wit, he fights the good fight — or at least he did. With his soul already damned to hell, he's decided to leave his do-gooder life behind, but when demons target Liv (Lucy Griffiths, "True Blood"), the daughter of one of Constantine's oldest friends, he's reluctantly thrust back into the fray – and he'll do whatever it takes to save her. Before long, it's revealed that Liv's "second sight" — an ability to see the worlds behind our world and predict supernatural occurrences — is a threat to a mysterious new evil that's rising in the shadows. Now it's not just Liv who needs protection; the angels are starting to get worried too. So, together, Constantine and Liv must use her power and his skills to travel the country, find the demons that threaten our world and send them back where they belong. After that, who knows… maybe there's hope for him and his soul after all.
The cast also includes Harold Perrineau and Charles Halford.
Writer Daniel Cerone ("The Mentalist," "Dexter") serves as executive producer with David S. Goyer ("Man of Steel," "The Dark Knight Rises"). "Constantine" is produced from Bonanza Productions in association with Warner Bros. Television. The show is based upon characters published by DC Entertainment."

I'm still in a state of shock after what I saw down by the lake, and by now I'm sure that Daisy, Beth and Becky don't believe me – I mean, would you?! It feels as though I'm caught up in the midst of a plot of one of those nasty horror films you see late at night on TV – Georgina is missing with Piku, all that's left behind was her diary and a pool of blood, and then with that…creature I saw yesterday, I just don't know what's going on.Strangely the Librarian doesn't seem particularly concerned about all of this, despite it all happening in his vast mansion. He tried to comfort me yesterday after I'd returned to the house and finally managed to splutter out what had happened down by the lake, but suddenly I couldn't cope with being around any of them any more and I'd retreated to my room with a steadily increasing headache – it was just too much to cope with after the events of the stay so far. I was really hoping that we might be able to leave and get back home soon, and now the place that had seemed so inviting, the room I'd described as "decadent" and had seemed like luxury when I arrived, was now haunting – I'm scared I might see something else at every turn, I feel like the shadows are moving, and I don't want to leave this room until I know I can finally go home.
As you can imagine, I wasn't terribly excited when I heard that the Librarian was planning to throw a banquet this evening to lift the mood. I haven't seen much of the others since my experience, but I know we've all been feeling a bit gloomy and keeping to ourselves, so it can't hurt to get us all together. But to be honest, I really don't want to go – the atmosphere in this place is feeling pressing down on me, and all I want to do is stay here and sleep until I can leave.
Beth's just come up to see me. I was reluctant to talk to her at first, knowing she's trying to convince me to come down. I know that they're all lovely girls and I'd love to spend more time with them, just not under these circumstances, and certainly not around that Librarian any more – the more I think about him and this place, the more uneasy I feel. She's still trying to get me to come down – I can smell the food cooking downstairs and the sound of the Daisy and Becky chatting on the floor below now the door's open, but it's still not enticing me any more. I'm sure they can bring some food up to me later, or maybe the police will finally let us go and I'll be able to grab something on my way home away from here. Even if I can't stay, I'll try and get a good night's sleep – things might be clearer in the morning. Yep, I'm pretty sure I'll stay up here, even though Beth's still trying to persuade me from the doorway.

Here's What 6 Teaspoons of Sugar Look Like
By Tracy Morris
Move over full-fat, low-fat, and non-fat anything. Sugar is the new food villain, and with good reason. There's strong scientific evidence pointing towards its negative impact on health, which has led the World Health Organization to reduce its recommendation for sugar intake to no more than 6 teaspoons (or 25 grams) of sugar per day.
Too much sugar can increase your risk of becoming overweight and obese. "When the intake of sugars exceeds the body's need for energy and its storage capacity, the sugars are converted to fat in the liver, circulate as triglycerides in blood, raise blood levels of the 'bad' LDL cholesterol, reduce blood levels of HDL cholesterol, and are deposited as body fat," explains Marion Nestle, a nutrition and food policy expert at New York University.
Still, sugar comes in many forms, so it's important to understand how the WHO comes up with that "6 teaspoons limit." It's not just added sugars, such as glucose, sucrose, and fructose, found in foods and drinks, or in the packets you sprinkle into your coffee, but also sugars naturally present in honey, syrups, and fruit juices. The sweet stuff you don't have to worry too much about: sugars naturally present in fresh fruits, vegetables, and milk. (Phew.)
Sugar Adds Up Fast
Sugar can appear in many forms on a food label…Agave Nectar, Brown Sugar, Cane Crystals, Cane Sugar, Corn Sweetener, Corn Syrup, Crystalline Fructose, Dextrose, Evaporated Cane Juice, Fructose, Fruit Juice, Fruit Juice Concentrates, Glucose, High Fructose Corn Syrup, Honey, Invert Sugar, Lactose, Maltose, Malt Syrup, Maple Syrup, Molasses, Raw Sugar, Rice Syrup, Sucrose, and Syrup… And those 6 teaspoons can add up faster than you might think—enjoy just 6 ounces of the fruit-flavored yogurt pictured above and you've hit the daily max.
Thankfully, you can still make room for sweetness in your day. And aside from knowing what it may be called, you don't have to be a super sleuth to keep track of how much sugar you're consuming. A simple rule is to ensure whatever you're eating has been packaged by nature, not by the food industry. An even better way to think of it: You could consume more food and still decrease your sugar intake.
A Sweet Meal Plan
Compare these two days of eating. At first glance they appear very similar, and both seem reasonably healthy. But take a closer look at the added sugar content. With a few tweaks here and there, you can reduce your sugar intake from an enormous 34 teaspoons to the recommended 6 teaspoons a day—all while eating more and taking in the same number of calories! Replacing high-sugar foods with less processed, fresh foods also increases the vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, which your body will love.
Reading Food Labels is Key
Remember, ingredients are listed in descending order, so if sugar appears as one of the top three items in the ingredients list, it's best to limit your portion of that particular food item, or avoid it. But don't be fooled, sugar may not appear in the first few ingredients because it can be disguised in many forms. Check the numbers, and aim for less than 5g of total sugars per 100g—anything above 15g per 100g is high, unless the sugar is coming from fresh fruit or milk.
Are you sugar savvy? How do you stick to just 6 teaspoons a day? Join the conversation below.

Q: jquery when the user clicks an element, i need to toggle a checkbox from unchecked to check how do i do this? and when a user re-clicks the element that was already checked, the checkbox will change back to unchecked if it is already checked. how do i do this?

<input id="1" type="checkbox">
<input id="2" type="checkbox">
<input id="3" type="checkbox">
<input id="4" type="checkbox">
<input id="5" type="checkbox">
<input id="6" type="checkbox">
<input id="7" type="checkbox">
<input id="8" type="checkbox">
<input id="9" type="checkbox">

Youve selected:
none.

A: This will do it:
$('#selectable li').click(function(){
   var id = $(this).attr('id');
    $('input[type=checkbox]').each(function(){
        if ($(this).attr('id')==id) {
           if (this.checked) $(this).removeAttr('checked');
           else              $(this).attr('checked','checked');
        }
    });
});

But please note that your html is not valid. Id values must be unique, and they may not start with a number.

A: Try this:
http://www.electrictoolbox.com/check-uncheck-checkbox-jquery/
$('input[name=foo]').attr('checked', true);

Also there is this plugin http://archive.plugins.jquery.com/project/checkboxes which you might find interesting

A: This solution will work with the drag-select functionality of selectable()
        $("li", this).each(function() {
            var check = $("#c"+$(this).attr("id"));
            console.log($(check).html());
            if ( $(this).hasClass("ui-selected") ) {
                $(check).attr("checked", true);
            } else {
                $(check).attr("checked", false);
            }
        });

You should avoid using the same id for different elements

I have always played competitive sports. Growing up, I played baseball and hockey. As I got older and there was no longer a weight requirement, my focus shifted to football. I played 3 years of varsity football in high school and was a co-captain my senior year. After high school, I played football in college and was a three time intramural basketball champion. After college, I played a couple years of flag football before deciding to become a football referee.
I work in client service for an asset management firm called Income Research + Management(IR+M).
Not until I joined EverybodyFights two years ago. Since then I've been hooked! As someone who has always been competitive I am excited to bring the skills that I have learned over the past few years to the ring.
After watching the last group of people train for Haymakers for Hope at EverybodyFights and attending the event last year I became inspired and eager to participate. Also, one of my work colleagues is friends with Mark Avery, who is the Director at Haymakers for Hope. After talking with Mark and learning more about Haymakers for Hope and their mission it motivated me even more to signup.
Both my grandparents have battled and survived cancer. My grandmother is a two time breast cancer survivor, and my grandfather is has survived prostate cancer. Not being around or able to help them out like the rest of my family, I always wanted to be able to pay them back. Participating in Haymakers for Hope is my way of honoring my grandparents. In addition to my grandparents, I also have plenty of friends who have been affected by cancer.
Candy. I am a sucker for skittles and m&ms. I am going to miss my afternoon CVS runs during the week.
I am a big Boston sports fan. I love the Patriots and the Celtics. Besides sports, I'm a dedicated Law & Order SVU and Chicago PD TV watcher.

Justin Hartley says his nine-month-old marriage to Sofia Pernas has made him happier than he's ever been and that marriage is "incredible when you're not forcing things."
The "This Is Us" star, 44, who divorced "Selling Sunset" star Chrishell Stause, 40, in 2019 after only two years of marriage, gushed about his new bride in an interview with Haute Living that was published Tuesday.
"We got married in March, and we are so happy!" Hartley said. "It's incredible when you're not forcing things. It doesn't have to be that hard. You just meet the right person and you just go, 'Oh, this is amazing. It's just so wonderful!' You're so attracted and so attached to this person. You just love this person so much.
"Even though we've only been married a few months, it's hard to remember what it was like without her. When I re-met her, I just knew. It's so interesting about the human heart and human mind. It's not a codependency; I'm just at peace with myself. I feel loved and I feel appreciated. I know she feels the same way. We just have a really great relationship and a really terrific family. It's healthy and it's wonderful."

Stause shared her reaction to her ex-husband's nuptials during the latest season of "Selling Sunset."
"My ex-husband, Justin, is remarried to someone I know from back in the day, pretty well, and a lot of things made sense after finding that out," she said on the show about Pernas.
Stause, Pernas and Hartley were all part of the cast of the soap opera "The Young and the Restless" in 2016.
"I think that actually, if anything, it felt good to know that. It felt like a little bit of closure," Stause said.
Pernas, 32, is Hartley's third wife. He has a daughter, Isabella, 17, with first wife Lindsay Hartley, whom he divorced in 2012.
"I'm happier than I've ever been," Hartley told Haute Living. "I'm fulfilled in so many ways. My daughter is doing great in high school — she's off to college soon, which is sad, but it's also very exciting. I've met my life partner. I've got a really great imagination, but I could not have imagined someone like this. She's off the charts.
"I'm fulfilled in so many different ways. My relationships in life are great — my friends, my family."
The former "The Young and the Restless" co-stars went public with their romance in January before tying the knot in March.
"Everything is easier with her in my life," Hartley said. "I also feel like I'm better at stuff. I learn from her. She speaks five languages. She's brilliant, she's incredible, she's fun to look at. Everything about her is amazing — she's just hilarious.
"She inspires me to want to be a better man, like Jack Nicholson said in 'As Good as It Gets.' I want to rise to the occasion because she's so great. She does make me want to be a better person, and [this kind of love] certainly does complete me."
Hartley, who plays Kevin Pearson on "This Is Us," also gave a hint at what fans can expect as the sixth and final season gets underway next month.
"Kevin has a lot of decisions to make, and that will be part of the beginning of the final season," he said. "We'll be seeing how he navigates his circumstance with Madison, with his kids, not going through with the wedding. His love life, his career, his family, his mother, all that stuff. It's like a line in the sand: before this moment and after this moment. He's a changed man. He's got a lot more responsibilities now, certainly, than he used to."
Even Hartley does not completely know how the hit NBC drama will end.
"I know some of it," he said. "I don't think it's all been fully written, but I can tell you that I know some of it. Some of it's already been shot — years ago."

Q: WPF MVVM dialog example Does anyone have any examples of showing a window dialog using MVVM (Prism)? - for example a configuration settings window when a command is executed.
All of the examples I've seen use the mediator pattern which is fine, but they also all have a reference to the view in the view model which is not ideal (we're using DataTemplates)
Thanks

A: I'm agreed, that using service to display dialog according to MVVM pattern is the most simple solution. But, I also asked myself, if there are 3 assemblies in my project Model, ViewModel, View and according to MVVM pattern assembly ViewModel has a reference to Model, and View to both Model and ViewModel where should I place DialogService class? If I will place one in the ViewModel assembly - I have no chances to create DialogView instance; on the other hand, if I will place DialogService in the View assembly, how I should inject it in my ViewModel class?
So, I would recoment look at Advanced MVVM scenarios with Prism Part: Using Interaction Request Objects
As example of this approach:
DialogViewModelBase
public abstract class DialogViewModelBase : ViewModelBase
{
    private ICommand _ok;

    public ICommand Ok
    {
        get { return _ok ?? (_ok = new DelegateCommand(OkExecute, CanOkExecute)); }
    }

    protected virtual bool CanOkExecute()
    {
        return true;
    }

    protected virtual void OkExecute()
    {
        _isSaved = true;
        Close = true;
    }

    private ICommand _cancel;

    public ICommand Cancel
    {
        get
        {
           return _cancel ?? (_cancel = new DelegateCommand(CancelExecute, CanCancelExecute));
        }
    }

    protected virtual bool CanCancelExecute()
    {
        return true;
    }

    protected virtual void CancelExecute()
    {
        Close = true;
    }

    private bool _isSaved = false;
    public bool IsSaved
    {
        get { return _isSaved; }
    }

    private bool _close = false;

    public bool Close
    {
        get { return _close; }
        set
        {
            _close = value;
            RaisePropertyChanged(() => Close);
        }
    }
}

CreateUserStoryViewModel:
public class CreateUserStoryViewModel : DialogViewModelBase
{
    private string _name = String.Empty;

    public string Name
    {
        get { return _name; }
        set
        {
            _name = value;
            RaisePropertyChanged(() => Name);
        }
    }
}

CreateUserStoryRequest
private InteractionRequest<Notification> _createUserStoryRequest;
public InteractionRequest<Notification> CreateUserStoryRequest
{
    get
    {
        return _createUserStoryRequest ?? (_createUserStoryRequest = new InteractionRequest<Notification>());
    }
}

CreateUserStory Command
private void CreateUserStoryExecute()
{
    CreateUserStoryRequest.Raise(new Notification()
    {
        Content = new CreateUserStoryViewModel(),
        Title = "Create User Story"
    },
    notification =>
                 {
                      CreateUserStoryViewModel createUserStoryViewModel =
                               (CreateUserStoryViewModel)notification.Content;
                      if (createUserStoryViewModel.IsSaved)
                      {
                         _domainContext.CreateUserStory(
new UserStory(){ Name = createUserStoryViewModel.Name, });
                      }
                 });
}

XAML:
<!--where xmlns:i="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/2010/interactivity"
          xmlns:ir="clr-namespace:Microsoft.Practices.Prism.Interactivity.InteractionRequest;assembly=Microsoft.Practices.Prism.Interactivity"-->

<i:Interaction.Triggers>
  <ir:InteractionRequestTrigger SourceObject="{Binding CreateUserStoryRequest}">
    <ir:PopupChildWindowAction>
      <ir:PopupChildWindowAction.ChildWindow>
        <view:CreateUserStory />
      </ir:PopupChildWindowAction.ChildWindow>
    </ir:PopupChildWindowAction>
  </ir:InteractionRequestTrigger>
</i:Interaction.Triggers>

A: I would use a service to display the dialog. The service can then also link views with viewmodels.
public interface IDialogService {
    void RegisterView<TView, TViewModel>() where TViewModel:IDialogViewModel;
    bool? ShowDialog(IDialogViewModel viewModel);
}

public interface IDialogViewModel {
    bool CanClose();
    void Close();
}

RegisterView just links the view type with the ViewModel type. You can set up these links in the module initialization. This is simpler than trying to get modules to register datatemplates in the top layer of your application.
ShowDialog Shows the ViewModel you want to display. It returns true, false and null for close just like the Window.ShowDialog method. The implementation just creates a new view of type TView from your container, hooks it up to the provided ViewModel, and shows it.
IDialogViewModel provides a mechanism for the ViewModel to do verification and cancel the closing of the dialog.
I have a standard dialog window, with a content control in it. When ShowDialog is called it creates a new standard dialog, adds the view to the content control, hooks up the ViewModel and displays it. The standard dialog already has [OK] and [Cancel] buttons with the appropriate logic to call the right methods from IDialogViewModel.

A: As I understood your comment above, the question is not so much about showing the dialogs as about hiding them. There are two ways to solve this problem:

*

*Use standard dialog window to implement the view. This would require to have a loosely coupled way of communication between View and ViewModel so that ViewModel can notify the View that it's ok to close without having a reference to a view.
There are multiple frameworks exist that would allow to do it - Prism's event aggregators would be one of them. In this scenario View would subscribe to an event (say, MyDialogResultValidated), and on receiving the event it would set the DialogResult accrodingly. ViewModel (in its SaveCommand) would fire the event if validation was successful.

*Don't use standard dialog window to implement the view. This would require to have an overlay that would effectively emulate modality.
In this scenario the Visibility of the View and of the overlay will be bound ViewModel's IsVisible property that would be set accordingly by SaveCommand implementation, or whenever ViewModel needs to show the View.
The first approach would require having a bit of code in code-behind, requires adding global event(s), and (arguably) is less MVVM-ish. The second approach would require implementing (or using someone else's implementation) of the overlay, but won't require having any code in code-behind, won't require having global event(s), and is (arguable) more MVVM-ish.

A: The way I do this is using the mediator pattern also. When the ViewModel wants to show a dialog, it sends a message which is picked up by the application's main window. The message contains an instance of the ViewModel used by the dialog.
The main window then constructs an instance of the dialog window, passes the view model to it and shows the dialog. The result of the dialog is passed back to the caller in the original message.
It looks something like this:
In your view model:
DialogViewModel viewModel = new DialogViewModel(...);
ShowDialogMessage message = new ShowDialogMessage(viewModel);

_messenger.Broadcast(message);

if (message.Result == true)
{
    ...
}

In the main window codebehind:
void RecieveShowDialogMessage(ShowDialogMessage message)
{
    DialogWindow w = new DialogWindow();
    w.DataContext = message.ViewModel;
    message.Result = w.ShowDialog();
}

I hope this is enough to give you the idea...

A: You might be interested in the following sample application:
http://compositeextensions.codeplex.com
It uses Prism2 with the PresentationModel (aka MVVM)  pattern. The sample application contains a modal dialog.

A: It isn't Prism, but this MVVM demo has an Options Dialog that's fully MVVM.

Kumo desu ga, Nani ka? Past Arc ⑯
A destined meeting.
Past Arc ⑯
For as long as the girl could remember, she had spent the whole time in the same room. A person seeing that room would probably think that it was a hospital room or a laboratory, or perhaps even both. In truth, that room was a hospital room while also being a laboratory. It was a room used as a laboratory to treat the girl who was an experimental subject, while also being a hospital room to nurse the girl as a patient. Managed as an experimental subject, and nursed because it would be bothersome if she died. Being treated that way, and having nothing done to her apart from that, was both normal for the girl and also the entirety of her existence.
She spent all of her days simply lying on the bed. Days of being experimented on, and being treated. Perhaps one small mercy was that the greatest mind in the world was raising her, and he had appropriate treatment applied to her. In addition, possibly out of consideration for her healthy development for use in experiments, he had prepared proper educational tools for her to look at and so on in order to foster her mental development. The room was equipped with a TV, prepared so that she could undertake remote learning. The girl who had lived her entire life without taking a step out of that room, was at least able to receive proper education for her age.
However, while that might be true, given her distorted environment, it's a different matter as to whether her personality had developed properly. The girl generally lacked what were called emotions. Feeling nothing day in day out, simply passing the time in idleness. Simply being alive and nothing more. Thus, the girl was alive simply so that she could die someday. Although she was alive, being dead wouldn't be any different.
And her death was only a matter of time. Her body was not normal. She was born from an artificially produced sperm and egg. She was created as a chimera, using human genes with genes from other lifeforms inserted. That was her true form and that body that was contrary to god's providence suffered from defects, as if receiving divine punishment. The girl's body possessed the ability to create poison, a characteristic trait of the creature whose genes were included – that creature being a spider. However, as she had an ability that humans did not have originally, naturally her body had no tolerance to poison. Her own body that was creating the poison was also being ruined because of it.
But that was not the only problem. The poison that the girl's body was creating consumed an enormous amount of energy in the process, as it was not something that a human body could do originally. Not only that, but additional energy was required in order to resist the poison afflicting her body. Furthermore, her internal organs were weakened by the poison, and her ability to digest and absorb energy were also weakened. Hence, her body required several times more energy than that of a healthy adult. Despite consuming so much, the girl had a slim body. Despite all she consumed, that didn't become nourishment for the girl's body, but rather it became poison that continued to ruin her body instead. However, she wouldn't be able to live at all without consuming so much. She was ruined from the moment she was born. It was a hard fact that she could die at any time.
Her daily existence was spent on a bed, unable to move about. That was the entirety of her world. An existence that was simply living until death arrived. An experimental subject that would merely leave behind some meagre results for her biological parent, Potimas. Until her life ended, her fate was to be one of never knowing any existence other than Potimas.
That destiny was overturned when Potimas joined the internationally wanted list.
For Potimas, joining the wanted list itself was a completely unforeseen event. However, he had been worried that maybe someday something like that could occur. Potimas was aware just how the world in general would respond to the research that he was conducting after all. He was aware, yet never once considered stopping. In addition, he was also vaguely aware that as he continued his research without stopping, that it had already gone beyond the point where it was possible to sweep it under the carpet. While Potimas was aware that he was superior to others, he was also aware that it wasn't absolute. If it had been absolute, he would have achieved his objective long ago. Since he hadn't done so, he knew that there were things he couldn't do despite his superiority. Precisely because he was aware of that, he knew that it was impossible for everything to proceed according to plan. For that very reason, while it was unexpected, he didn't become flustered due to joining the wanted list.
Potimas first gathered together all his essential research material, before going into hiding. He disposed of the available documents that would be unwise to let fall into the hands of others, leaving aside the documents that would be okay to fall into the hands of others. Included amongst the later were the people who had been treated like laboratory animals. Potimas had built hidden research laboratories all over the place, repeating cruel experiments on humans, but abandoned the subjects along with the facilities. Potimas anticipated that the police forces that were hunting him down could enter those places.
In the end, the girl was taken into protection. It had been several days since Potimas had disappeared. Since the girl practically couldn't move from the bed, it was naturally impossible for her to drink and eat, and the intravenous drip that was providing her nutrients had been used up, so she was on the edge of the abyss between life and death. If the police had arrived only a little later, the girl would have lost her life. However, fortune favoured the girl, and she was transferred to a hospital. Her treatment was restarted there, drip-fed with nutrients, and somehow managed to pull through.
「Are you awake?」
When the girl opened her eyes, a woman was there. Apart from Potimas, she had only ever seen another person via the TV screen. In addition, because Potimas had never properly communicated with her, it was almost the first time in her life that anyone had begun a conversation with her.
「Nice to meet you. I am Sariel. What is your name?」
「Ah……riel?」
「Ariel? What a coincidence. That is just like my name.」
The girl had simply tried to murmur the woman's name. However, with her weakened mouth, her pronunciation slipped, and the listener misunderstood. Everything was the result of chance. However, the girl who had never had a name, then gained a name at that moment. That girl whose fate had been only to live until she died thus encountered the Goddess.

JOLIE MCCULLOUGH | 6/25/2018, 10:35 p.m.
As part of his school and gun safety plan, Gov. Greg Abbott wants to explore a law that would allow local officials to take guns away from people if a judge declares them a danger – while also protecting Second Amendment rights. It's an issue that has previously gone nowhere in the Texas Legislature.
Similar bills have died quickly and quietly in the Legislature before, but this time the idea is coming straight from the governor's office. In his 43-page school safety plan, Abbott, a Republican supported by the National Rifle Association, asked the Texas House and Senate to look into whether Texas might benefit from a red flag law.
But the idea that someone could have their firearms taken away by the government simply because of a threat – rather than an overt act of violence – has some Texans clutching their guns tighter. Some conservative groups have already denounced the idea, saying earlier bills would have violated the Constitution's due process protections and warning that Abbott's proposal could place too much power with "a vengeful relative" and give judges wide latitude in deciding who is considered an "imminent threat." In the party's official platform issued in San Antonio, June 16, Texas Republicans said they opposed the red flag proposal.
A spokesman for Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, the leader of the state Senate who leans far to the right, did not respond to questions about whether he would support a red flag law.
Even with a push from the governor, there's a long, bumpy road that lawmakers will have to navigate before Texas adopts a red flag law. That process will begin June 25, when the House Criminal Jurisprudence Committee is scheduled to hold its first hearing to explore whether the state needs such a law – and, if so, how it should be written.

If you arrived here by any means other than from the Index of Impacts,
it is suggested that you start at the Introduction to gain an understanding of what follows.
The Tunguska Event
At around 7:17 a.m. local time, on June 30, 1908 Tungus natives and Russian settlers in the hills northwest of Lake Baikal observed a column of bluish light, nearly as bright as the Sun, moving across the sky. About 10 minutes later, there was a flash and a sound similar to artillery fire. Eyewitnesses closer to the explosion reported the sound source moving east to north. The sounds were accompanied by a shock wave that knocked people off their feet and broke windows hundreds of kilometers away. The majority of witnesses reported only the sounds and the tremors, and not the sighting of the explosion. Eyewitness accounts differ as to the sequence of events and their overall duration.
The explosion registered on seismic stations across Eurasia. In some places the shock wave would have been equivalent to an earthquake of 5.0 on the Richter scale. It also produced fluctuations in atmospheric pressure strong enough to be detected in Great Britain. Over the next few days, night skies in Asia and Europe were aglow; it has been theorized that this was due to light passing through high-altitude ice particles formed at extremely cold temperatures, a phenomenon that occurred again when the Space Shuttle re-entered the Earth's atmosphere. In the United States, the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory and the Mount Wilson Observatory observed a decrease in atmospheric transparency that lasted for several months, from suspended dust.

This image is expandable for more definition, and is linked to a larger image of 2400 x 1210 pixels. This center of impact is about 2.4 kilometers southwest of the 60° 55' N 101° 57' E position, where the center of the blast was marked. The center of the blast was where the trees were all blown down in a circular pattern, away from this point. This variation could be because the asteroid, coming in from the Northeast, exploded just before impact, knocking the trees down, then impacting 2.4 kilometers later. Also, the coordinates at the time were only given to the accuracy of degrees and minutes.
At 4 kilometers from the center of impact, the shock wave from the impact caused the alignments shown by the arrows.
At 6 kilometers to the northwest, the alignments are shown.

Scientists Detect Powerful Radio Burst Coming From Our Own Galaxy
"Something like this has never been seen before."

Astronomers have detected the first-ever fast radio burst (FRB) originating in our own galaxy, ScienceAlert reports.
"Something like this has never been seen before," Caltech astronomer Shrinivas Kulkarni told ScienceAlert.
The signal, a millisecond-wave bursts of radio waves, was traced back to a Milky Way magnetar, a type of neutron star with an extremely strong magnetic field. The magnetar suddenly lit up, sending out a gargantuan millisecond-long burst of bright radio waves, picked up by astronomers on April 28.
According to ScienceAlert, the blip was so intense that it could've been detectable from another galaxy.
"If the same signal came from a nearby galaxy, like one of the nearby typical FRB galaxies, it would look like an FRB to us," Kulkarni told ScienceAlert.
The detection could finally settle where the mysterious FRBs actually come from.
"This sort of, in most people's minds, settles the origin of FRBs as coming from magnetars," Kulkarni added.
Fast radio bursts have raised far more questions about the universe than they can answer. They're extremely unpredictable, despite some of them releasing more energy than 500 million suns. They don't seem to have a pattern to them and last for only a tiny fraction of a second.
Astronomers suggest the signal may have originated as a result of massive, shifting gravitational forces causing a starquake or magnetar flare, a disturbance in the magnetic field surrounding it.
The massive outburst of radio waves could also be an indication that there are plenty of other FRBs we are currently unable to detect.
"It was so bright that we saw it from the corner of our eyes, so to speak," postdoctoral fellow Shriharsh Tendulkar at McGill University told Gizmodo.

Google has made it no secret that it wants to reinvent how you visit websites on your browser by eventually getting rid of web addresses altogether. With the launch of Chrome 69, Google stunned users last week with a surprising decision to no longer display the "www" and "m" part of the URL in the Chrome search bar, but user backlash forced Google to soften its stance. Google's course reversal, although welcomed by users, is only short term, and the search giant said it will change course once again with the release of the Chrome 70 browser.
Critics have argued that by not displaying the special-case subdomains, it was harder for users to identify sites as legitimate, and the move could lead to more scams on the internet. Others go as far as questioning Google's motives for not displaying the "www" and "m" portion of a web address, and these users speculated that the move may be to disguise Google's AMP — or Accelerated Mobile Pages — subdomain to make it indistinguishable for the actual domain.
Other users were more direct in their criticism of Google's proposed changes for Chrome 70.
Before reversing the changes it made, users were able to reveal the full web address — including the www or m subdomains — by double-clicking on the address bar in Chrome 69.
Google also made headlines in recent weeks with its intentions on killing off URLs altogether in a bid to make the internet safer.


Penaeus monodon manillensis Villaluz & Arriola, 1938The name semisulcatus has been used incorrectly by some older authors forPenaeus monodon, which has caused considerable confusion.
En - Green tiger prawn, Fr - Crevette tigrée verte, Sp - Langostino tigre verde.
Penaeus semisulcatus De Haan,, , in Von Siebold, Fauna Japonica, Crustacea (6/7): Pl. 46, Fig.1.
Indo-West Pacific: Red Sea, E. and S.E. Africa to Japan, Korea, the Malay Archipelago and northern Australia. Eastern Atlantic: The species has reached the eastern Mediterranean through the Suez Canal; it is now found all along the coasts of Egypt, Israel, Lebanon, Syria and southern Turkey.
Bottom mud, sand.Depth 2 to 130 m. Marine (adults) and estuarine (juveniles).
Maximum total length 180 mm (Male), 228 mm (Female).
The species is of minor to moderate importance in Madagascar, S.E. and E. Africa (Mozambique to Somalia) and the Red Sea. In the Gulf of Aden, the Persian Gulf and in Pakistan it is of major importance in the offshore fishery. In India it is more common on the east than on the west coast, but it is not as important commercially as P. monodon is there (Jones, 1967:1333; Kurian & Sebastian, 1976:100) . It plays a role in the ricefield shrimp farming in the Ganges delta. According to Longhurst (1970:282,283) the species is likely to be of economic importance in Sri Lanka, Singapore and the Philippines. Lai-shing (1972:287) mentioned that it is caught by trawlers in the Hong Kong area. In the Inland Sea of Japan it is also commercially important (Yasuda, 1956; in table VI Yasuda evidently indicated the species by mistake with the nameP. monodon) . Yoshida (1941:10) listed the species among the shrimps of economic importance in Korea. In the eastern Mediterranean Penaeus semisulcatus is caught by Turkish, Israeli and Egyptian trawlers. Aquaculture experiments with this species are carried out in Taiwan and Thailand.
In Pakistan it is exported frozen or canned, and also used for shrimp meal and paste (Tirmizi, in Litt.).

This chapter looks at the Gulag and the Karaganda camps in the foundational era—the 1930s—and the practices of the camp system as they were shaped in that important decade. The Gulag's practices had largely been established by the end of the 1930s. Practices had been set up and even codified in a detailed set of regulations in 1939 for constructing and running Gulag institutions. They defined the line between survival and death in the Gulag system, tying prisoner survival to measures of reeducation. A prisoner culture and society also emerged as each prisoner sought to negotiate these practices in an effort to survive.
