A podcast that takes a look at how technology impacts our lives, from an intersectional feminist perspective.
Is the "death of cash" a good thing? What happens when we use algorithms to decide how much things cost? What exactly is the deal with Bitcoin, and how are bros using it to profit from the hurricane in Puerto Rico? In our episode on Money we also chat about the "illusion" that is designer clothes, the theatre of branding, and the brilliant economic theory found in Terry Pratchett's Discworld books.

Podcast: Taking a look at Packers' injuries Welcome to the latest installment of the Nagler's Never Right podcast here on PackersNews.com. Check out this story on packersnews.com: http://pck.rs/2qtiIF3

This week, Aaron Nagler tackles a reader question on the Packers and their seemingly annual battle with injuries. Are they worse off than most NFL teams when it comes to dealing with them? Aaron also takes a (very) early look at some possible Week 1 starting lineups.
You can listen to or download the latest episode below.


There's good fantasy and there's cringe-worthy, predictable, dull, rip-off fantasy. What kind would you rather be known for? Perhaps the second type if you're going for the ironic satirical take on the genre, but at least master the craft first before you wreck it or reinvent the wheel.
Ideally, you should have a firm idea of how your fantasy novel will work out before you begin typing. Although, there's no reason why you have to know exactly how it's going to end yet or even every plot-detail. So, what should you concentrate on during the novel-planning stage (and you should have some sort of novel-planning stage unless you want a total mess of a manuscript to edit until your eyes bleed)?
Below I will examine three areas where you should focus most of your attention before writing.
DO: read the bestselling books in your genre, both indie and traditionally published, before you launch into an epic series. Study what has been done already, how popular authors create tension, subvert themes, and present their work. Let it sink in and inspire you, though obviously don't copy.
Were they born different or were they created? How does society react to them?
Family background; how were your characters brought up? Did they have a happy childhood, were they poor, rich, abandoned? Just like in real life, your characters' childhood will determine their worldview, relationships, and behaviour to a large degree. This is especially true in fantasy because 'what' a character is may have affected most of his or her life, or forced them to completely break away from everyone they know and love.
Disposition; everyone has natural tendencies towards certain modes of being. For example, some people need to be forced just to get out of bed in the morning, others will launch into an adventure without a second thought. If your character has magical powers, they may be more willing to take risks, but not necessarily. If not, why not?
Flaws; physical, emotional, and mental. No one is perfect in real life, and just because your protagonist is an elf, that doesn't let you off the hook. Perfect, flawless characters are so boring and readers find it hard to connect with them.
Villains; even the bad guys often believe in the righteousness of their cause. They also inhabit many levels of 'badness'. Some people are evil, others are just selfish. Others are battling addition – e.g. blood, magic-enhanced drugs etc. Give your protagonist a variety of antagonists. For an absolute masterclass in villains, I highly recommend watching the first two seasons of Marvel's Daredevil (available on Netflix). Not only is it a fantastic series, but the villains are also a perfect example of human complexity. Pay special attention to Matt's power struggle with Fisk, and his to-and-fro arguments with the Punisher, which forces him to question his fundamental beliefs and motivations. Plus, the fight scenes are epic.
Language; don't overdo this. You're writing in English, but you may need to mention the differences in language between groups. Use a few made-up words here and there, in italics, and give the language a name. But your reader doesn't want a dictionary to memorise; this isn't a film with convenient subtitles. However, there are many styles of speech and accents to play with to subtly point to a character's ethnic or cultural origins.
Environment; weather or other environmental factors would have had a large bearing on how society developed, the types of buildings people live in, and evolution. For a brilliant example of this, check out Brandon Sanderson's The Way of Kings.
Culture and customs; these will affect the daily lives of your characters, especially those who stick out from society's norms. Night-dwelling vampires are a classic example. Also think about religion. Conflict in these areas can provide a lot of fuel for fantasy plots.
Dress; styles of clothing, accessories, and worn weaponry need to be considered. What your characters wear says a lot about them. Also, take into account gender differences and how these might be subverted.
Food; unless of course, your characters absorb energy from the air.
History; this will form culture and customs, and set up many obstacles for your characters. What I love about fantasy is that your antagonists can come from any era, because they don't have to only live for a hundred years!
DON'T: feel the need to include every tiny bit of research or information into your story, especially not at once. You know how the king came to power after a long, bitter feud with his family that started three-hundred years ago, but your reader doesn't care enough to digest an intricate account. Only mention it when it's relevant to the story.
Magic; where does it come from, how does it work? Are powers inherited? How?
Species; why and how do some creatures or species use magic?
Society; did some mythological event cause its foundation or destruction? How does this relate to the present day?
You also need to ensure that you stick to your own rules. There's nothing that will pop the 'fictional bubble' quicker than contradicting your own magic system. Don't let your characters do the impossible unless you seed clues through the whole book so your protagonist can discover that world-saving loophole in a surprising yet inevitable way, just at the right moment.
That's an awful lot of things to think about. I recommend creating a cloud-based notebook with section dividers to keep track of all the little details. Alternatively, you can try Scrivener – software created specifically for writers – as a way of organising notes. I like OneNote because I can sync it to all my devices, meaning I am able to add ideas whenever and wherever inspiration strikes.
It's worth the time and effort. Here's to writing an engaging and believable fantasy!

The Center for Homeland Defense and Security's K-12 School Shooting Database has served as a key source of information for those tracking and reporting on the worrisome trend.
According to opinion pieces published in the Los Angeles Times and Washington Post co-authored by CHDS Master's program alum David Riedman and citing the CHDS school shooting database that he helped create, as of early November there have been a whopping 205 school shooting incidents since the beginning of this year, including 55 shootings in September alone. That represents an exponential increase in such incidents in the nation's schools and has raised serious major concerns about student safety.
Riedman said the "historic rise" in school shooting incidents is reflective of a nationwide increase in gun violence amid the ongoing fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic.
"Unfortunately, we're seeing a rise in gun violence nationwide and that has bled over into schools," he said. "With the return to the classroom (after COVID-19 school shutdowns), there are a lot of threats out there, a lot of issues on and off campus, including mental health issues, social isolation, and gang activities. There is a rise in online threats that cause investigations that shut down school sites. It's the busiest I've ever seen."
If not for the CHDS school shooting database, which includes incidents stretching back more than half a century to 1970, the reporting on such shooting incidents might have been largely anecdotal because hard data would not have been available.

Since 2018, the nationally recognized database created by Riedman and fellow CHDS Master's program alum Desmond O'Neill through the CHDS Advanced Thinking in Homeland Security program has been serving as a primary source for reporting on school shootings in major publications ranging from the New York Times, LA Times, Washington Post, and the Wall Street Journal to The Guardian, National Public Radio, Vice News, and the Rolling Stone.
In addition, the school shooting database has been cited in dozens of academic papers, more than 30 in all, including a recent peer-reviewed article in the American Journal of Criminal Justice.
Accessible on the CHDS website, the database is freely available to researchers.
Riedman pointed out that the school shooting database is far more comprehensive than records kept by other agencies, and intentionally uses an expansive definition of school shooting to encompass as much of a range of threats to the campus as possible.
According to the database, it "documents each and every instance a gun is brandished, is fired, or a bullet hits school property for any reason, regardless of the number of victims, time, day of the week, or reason."
Considered the most comprehensive source of information on gun violence in U.S. schools, the database has been accessed by more than 100,000 users.
O'Neill said the database's information provides a critical source of hard data that can inform school safety funding decisions.
"When that conversation occurs, how do we base our decisions on data rather then emotion," he asked. Before the database, "there was no previous method for doing that."
Meanwhile, two other CHDS alums recently collaborated on a webinar aimed at addressing risk management and security for campuses, including school sites.

In September, retired U.S. Marshal and Aequitas Global Security principal John Muffler (Executive Leaders Program cohort 1102) and Mansfield, TX Independent School District director of safety and security Bruno Dias (Master's Program cohort 1903/1904) joined the online event hosted by Campus Safety magazine.
Muffler said he first proposed the webinar to magazine representatives a year earlier after he had an article published in Police Chief Online magazine regarding mitigating targeted violence in the community including dealing with "problem employees and visitors" on a range of campuses including school sites.
He subsequently teamed up with Dias to participate in the webinar, which was entitled "Beyond Threat Assessment: Managing Threats with Appropriate Follow-Up, Monitoring and Training."
The webinar was designed to help participants "analyze, understand, and assess their own (safety) program effectiveness," by exploring "steps in the process of sound threat assessment and management programs from initial development, alignment of initiatives, and efficacy of measurement mechanisms to monitoring and oversight."
Dias, whose participation was focused on school campus safety, said school administrators need to "understand the threat landscape" and "understand the importance of being proactive" on implementing school site plans known as a School Safety and Security Framework instead of simply relying on more typical emergency management plans and reacting to incidents, noting that nine of 10 school sites have no safety plan in place.
Despite their proactive approach, Dias and his school district faced a tragic event after a student allegedly shot three people following an on-campus fight at Timberview High School, highlighting the complexities and challenges in school safety.
Four people were injured in the shooting but no one was killed, according to local news reports, and the suspect faces multiple charges of aggravated assault with a gun.
The school district's safety plan drew praise from a school safety expert, according to a local news report.

Trumbull's Best Sheperds upgrade fair's sheep barn
Posted by Joe Pinchot | Jul 10, 2019 | Animals, Community, Community service, county news | 0 |
It had probably been since the mid-90s that the sheep barn at the Trumbull County Fairgrounds had been renovated, said Barb Enyeart,
Justin Hall of Brookfield poses with one of his Hampshire-Suffolk lambs.
adviser for Trumbull's Best Shepherds, the 4-H group that occupies the barn during the fair.
With the fair board undertaking large projects such as constructing a new restroom and pavilion, Trumbull's Best Shepherds, which is celebrating its 40th anniversary, sought and received permission to upgrade the barn, said group advisers Brenda Hall of Brookfield and Lorena Jones of Fowler.
The group raised money through candy bar and pepperoni roll sales, but also contacted potential donors.
"The kids do a great job getting donations throughout the year," said Enyeart of Kinsman.
The funds raised and donations of material and money allowed for installing French drains to end stall flooding and get rid of the standing water outside the barn; replacing rotting stall posts; putting up siding; painting; and replacing the 4-H sign.
The group hopes to replace more stall posts and anchor them with concrete, replace gates and do more exterior work, with the goal of doing a little work every year so a lot of work does not have to be done at one time, advisers said.
"It's good to know that the kids …" Jones said, "have something nice," Hall said in finishing the sentence.
Hall's 13-year-old son, Justin, said he appreciates the lack of standing water.
"I'm allergic to any stinging insect," said Hall, who was showing two Hampshire-Suffolk lambs.
Donations included lumber from Tim's Auto Body of Hubbard, drainage pipe from Galaxie Industrial Services of Poland; and siding from Mervin-Yoder-Infinity Construction.
Vicki Cooper of Highland Field Services, the company that operates two waste-water injection wells on Route 7 in Brookfield, stopped by July 9 for the ceremonial presentation of $5,000 to the cause.
"In general, our motto is to give back in the areas where we operate," Cooper said.
Highland, and its parent company, Seneca Resources, like to promote agriculture, Cooper said. Although people don't necessarily see the connection between natural gas and agriculture, affordable energy promotes agriculture, she said.
Hall noted Highland was active buying the group's lambs at last year's fair auction, and Cooper said the company plans to attend again this year.
Trumbull's Best Shepherds has 19 members from ages 9 to 18, with 10 of them between the ages of 12 and 15.
Despite the name, it is a variety club, meaning kids also can undertake projects unrelated to sheep. Some raise other animals, while other members participated in welding, scrapbooking, art and sewing.
The fair runs through Sunday, July 14, at 880 Everett Hull Road, Cortland.

In the same way, the crisis that has engulfed the European Union (EU) is about much more than the euro. As government bonds, share prices and banks swoon and global recession knocks on the door, the first fear is of financial and economic collapse. But to understand what is happening to the currency you also need to look at what is happening to Europe.
The euro will not be safe until Europe answers some fundamental questions that it has run away from for many years. At their root is how its nations should respond to a world that is rapidly changing around them. What will it do as globalisation strips the West of the monopoly over the technologies that have made it rich, and an ageing Europe starts to look increasingly like the western peninsula of a resurgent Asia?

Bernie Madoff Net Worth 2019
Bernie Madoff is a former investment advisor, stockbroker, and financier. He is American. He is a former chairman of the NASDAQ stock market. Madoff is the fraudster behind a fraudulent scheme which is in the record for being the most significant financial fraud as far as the history of the US is concerned. Now let's have a close look at Bernie Madoff's net worth in 2019.
Bernard Lawrence "Bernie" Madoff was born in 1938 on 29 April. He was born in Queens, New York to Ralph Madoff and Sylvia Muntner. His father was not only a stockbroker but also a plumber. Madoff's father died in 1972, and his wife died two years later. He has two siblings by the names Peter Madoff and Sondra Weiner. Madoff is the second of the three.
Madoff finished his high school in 1956. Bernie graduated from Far Rockaway High School in the year mentioned above. He joined the University of Alabama and stayed there for his freshman year. He then entered Hofstra University and graduated in 1960 with a Bachelor's of Art in political science. He attended Brooklyn Law School for a short period. He chose business over law degree. The two got married in 1959 on 28 November. They have two sons whose names are Mark Madoff and Andrew Madoff.
Bernie Madoff founded a Wall Street firm in 1960. He named it Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC. Bernie decided to work for the company instead of pursuing his law degree. Madoff was its chairman from 1960 to 2008 on 11 December.
Initially, the firm was a penny stock trader. The capital was $5 thousand whose today's value is $40 thousand. He had earned it when he was a sprinkler installer and a lifeguard. He was given a loan of $50 thousand to set it up. Saul Alpern who was the accountant of the in-law also worked there. Before the use of NASDAQ software, they made markets via Pinks Sheets of the National Quotation Bureau. The change was to put them in a better position when it came to their competition with members of New York State Exchange.
The advisory division and investment management of the firm were there, but they never made that public. He was also a member of the National Association of Security Dealers (NASD). There was a time when was both the chairman of its directors as well as a member of its board of governors.
During his tenure as the chairman, his firm was the largest market maker at the NASDAQ. In 2008, it was Wall Street's six largest market maker.
Net Worth of Bernie Madoff
Bernie Madoff has an estimated net worth of about $-17 billion. His primary source of income was his firm, Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LCC. He was its founder and chairman since 1960. In 2008 on 11 December, he was arrested because of committing fraud. His company had defrauded the clients more than $65 billion. He owned his parents $22 million. The amount available was not enough to pay the victims.
Bernie Madoff is a former stockbroker, financier, and investment advisor. He was accused of fraud. Madoff pleaded guilty to more than ten federal felonies in 2009 on 12 March. Bernie Madoff was sentenced to the maximum possible sentence of 150 years. This is almost similar to the death sentence given life expectancy. Madoff's appeal for a reduction of the sentence was denied. He will mostly be remembered for owning a company that undertook a massive Ponzi scheme which defrauded many investors billions of dollars.

Дюссельдорфская художественная школа — одна из самых влиятельных немецких и европейских школ, сформированная группой художников, которые преподавали или учились в Дюссельдорфской академии художеств в первой половине XIX века.

История

Сложилась в связи с основанием в 1819 году в Дюссельдорфе Академии художеств, первый директор которой П. Корнелиус направлял её деятельность в русло академического романтизма.
Дюссельдорфская школа живописи выросла из немецкого романтизма и была его частью.

Его преемник на посту директора Академии В. Шадов (1826—1859) стал фактическим основателем дюссельдорфской художественной школы. При нём выделились различные течения: Национально-историческая тематика трактовалась в поверхностно-романтическом (К. Ф. Зон, Т. Гильдебрандт), эпико-героическом (А. Ретель), даже в оппозиционно антикатолическом (К. Ф. Лессинг) духе; развивался реалистический пейзаж (Освальд и Андреас Ахенбах); в бытовом жанре тенденции к социально-критическому анализу (И. П. Газенклевер, Ю. Гюбнер) в 1850-х годах были вытеснены идиллическими сценами из бюргерского и традиционного крестьянского быта (Л. Кнаус, Б. Вотье).

Выпускниками Дюссельдорфской академии художеств были граждане почти всех европейских стран, США, Канады и Австралии. Но самое большое число последователей школы оказалось впоследствии в США, где они стали основателями так называемой Школы реки Гудзон — группы американских художников-пейзажистов. Выпускники академии знакомили заокеанских художников с традициями дюссельдорфской школы живописи, открывая там свои школы художеств.

Последователями школы создан ряд монументальных полотен на исторические и религиозные сюжеты, многие из которых на библейские темы.

Выдающихся успехов Дюссельдорфская школа живописи достигла в области изображения пейзажа. Работы последователей школы характеризуются точностью мелких деталей причудливых пейзажей, часто с большим количеством религиозных или аллегорических фигур.

Последнее поколение художников Дюссельдорфской школы живописи конца XIX — начала XX века создало новое объединение художников «Зондербунд».

Первая мировая война завершила почти столетнюю деятельность Дюссельдорфской школы живописи.

Видные представители дюссельдорфской художественной школы

За период с 1819 по 1918 год представителями школы были около 4000 художников, в том числе:

Klax 3D is a skill game on www.flash-game.net where you arrange tiles dropping off a perpetually running conveyor belt. A Klax is three or more identically colored tiles in a row. You catch and hold as many as five at a time with your paddle, then drop them onto one of file piles below. Three tiles make up one Klax, four tiles make up two Klaxes and five tiles compose three Klaxes. Horizontal Klaxes are worth more than vertical Klaxes, while diagonal Klaxes are worth still more. Tiles come in 10 different colors. There are three different levels. Good luck!


The history of Saksaganskogo Street - Apartments for rent in Kiev center, rent luxury apartments. Rent house in Kiev. Real estate agency Teren Plus - long-term and daily rent, buying and selling of houses, apartments, offices and commercial real estate in Kyiv downtown.
Panas Karpovych Saksaganskyi (the real surname is Tobilevych) was born 150 years ago. He was an outstanding Ukrainian actor and a stage director, an honored artist of the USSR.
Kiev executives changed the name of Leonida Pyatakova Street to Panasa Saksaganskogo after the actor's death in 1940. Actually, the history of renaming this street and many others is quite scandalous.
In the Soviet times names of numerous streets were repeatedly changed. Let's take Yaroslaviv Val Street as an example. It got its name in 1869 in memory of the defensive rampart (Ukr. "val") stretching along it in the XI century. Here is the chronology of renaming: 1923-1928 – Rakovskogo, 1928-1957 – Voroshylova, 1957-1962 – Polupanova, 1962-1975 – Velyka Pidvalna, and, finally, since 1976 – again Yaroslaviv Val.
In the XIX century all three brothers Tobilevych, namely Saksaganskyi, Sadovskyi and Karpenko-Karyi, glorious leading figures of the Ukrainian theatre, started to work together after a long break in one troupe in the Theatre of brothers Bergonie (nowadays it is the place of Lesya Ukrainka Russian Drama Theatre). It was an associate society of artists under the leadership of the above-mentioned brothers. They succeeded in acting . It would be interesting to know that Saksaganskyi performed solely comic roles, for example, the role of Golokhvastov (the play "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush" (Ukr. "Za dvoma zaytsyamy")), the role of Omelyan Grygorovych (the drama "Burlachka"), the role of Geraska (the vaudeville "After the inspection" (Ukr."Po reviziyi")) and the role of the huntsman Kharko (the play "Palyvoda of the XVIII century").
The actor dwelled in Zhylyanska Street, in the building № 96. The memorial plaque with the years of his dwelling in Kiev (1912-1940) is placed on its front.
Zhylyanska (Zhadanovskogo) is situated at the distance of one quarter and parallel to Saksaganskogo Street. B.P. Zhadanovskyi was a participant of the revolution in Kiev in 1905-1907, a member of the Bolshevik party since 1917. He died in 1918 in Crimea at the times of warfare. At that time nobody would have dared to rename Zhadanovskogo Street, where Saksaganskyi dwelled and died in 1940. Present-day Saksaganskogo Street was called Velyka Zhandarmska on the old plan of Kiev at the end of XIX century. Then it was named Mariyino-Blagovischenska Street after the church, situated in the mansion № 64 and consecrated in 1893. And after the revolution the Street was named after Bolshevik Leonid Pyatakov, who died in 1918. Kiev residents started to name it Pyatakova Street. But in 1937 Pyatakov's brother was shot as the public enemy, and the name was specified; new street signs appeared: "Leonida Pyatakova Street".
When a famous artist Panas Saksagankyi died in 1940, the authorities decided to bury in oblivion Pyatakovs and to name the street after Saksaganskyi. The name remained till present days. And Zhadanovskogo Street, where the great actor spent his last days, got its pre-revolutionary name again, namely Zhylyanska.
Saksaganskogo Street changed greatly since those days. Kiev residents, whose childhood fell on the far post-war years, remember well that so-called Summer Circus was functioning successfully at the crossroads of Saksaganskogo and Chervonoarmiyska Streets. But in 1960 there was built a stationary brick building of the circus with 2000 seats on Victory Square (Ukr. Ploscha Peremogy), projected by the architect V.A. Zhukov. Built at the place of the former Jewish market, it turned to be the true decoration of the city.
Elderly residents also keep in mind a cosy cinema "Raketa", situated at the end of Saksaganskogo Street at that time, in the building №102. It was closed soon, but at the beginning of the street in 1974 a new four-storey building of the "Cinema House" was built. There were 3 cinema halls (with 50, 150 and 720 seats), a library, a café and etc. Unfortunately, tram ways were removed from here; tram was inseparably linked with the street in the memory of some generations of residents.
But let's come back again to the post-war times of the street. The last quarter. Odd numbered side. The Jewish Market is not far from and still not closed. Captive Germans are building the penicillin plant. It stands still here, though gloomy and grey.
There was a smell of penicillin for a long period here – a smell of childhood for people, who grew up at these places.
I remember those small wares shops, where powders "Carnation" and "Red Poppy", creams "Youth" and "Strawberry", perfumes "Silver Lily of the Valley" and "Red Moskov" were sold.

Q: which framework to use for a graph / dnd java web application I will need to write an interactive web application, where most of the work would be moving nodes and connecting them with other nodes by relations (graph editing). The nodes will be of different types, just as the relation will be as well. What would be your choice of a framework to use for it? It doesn't have to be a pure webapp, it can require a plugin. Some of the options would be:

*

*JAvaFX2

*Vaadin

*Wicket

*...

Again, it will not be a standard database-backed application with forms and so on. Of course, there will be parts for text input (like adding values to node properties and so on).
As I can't really decide myself, maybe you would give me some tips and reasoning behind them?
wujek

A: JGraph is a good one. They have a Java and a Javascript version. Try it out online here.

A: Try JIT - it is in javascript.
Take a look at the demos to see if it would work for you.

Lothar Hirneise (1961. - ) je predsjednik njemačke udruge "Ljudi protiv raka" (Menschen gegen Krebs), osnivač terapijske metode za rak "3E", direktor Centra za holističko liječenje raka "3E" u Buochu kraj Stuttgarta, te u Njemačkoj autor bestselera "Kemoterapija liječi rak i Zemlja je ravna ploča" u kojoj se kritički odnosi prema konvencionalnim terapijama liječenja raka; izdavač, predavač, popularizator.

Životopis

Lothar Hirneise se u mladosti bavio kineskim borilačkim sportom wing-tsunom, a zatim je radio kao medicinski tehničar na psihijatrijskom odjelu bolnice u Stuttgartu. Medicinska ga je struka privukla, te je započeo usporedo uz rad i studij medicine. Prije završetka studija aplicirao je za posao pomoćnika jednog poznatog njemačkog psihoterapeuta u bolnici Sonnenberg, te ga je i dobio. Također, prije konačnog diplomiranja i promocije u doktora medicine tajvanski mu je prijatelj ponudio vođenje posla trgovine sportskom opremom u Njemačkoj i Europi, koji je on na čuđenje kolega i prihvatio. Tako je sljedećih 7 godina do 1996.g. vodio usporedo nekoliko trgovačkih projekata. Izgubivši daljnji interes za širenje sportske trgovine, prodao je svoj udjel sa željom da se više posveti obitelji.

U tom ga je trenutku njegov dobri prijatelj zamolio da mu pomogne u njegovoj borbi protiv zloćudne bolesti. Udubivši se u problematiku i statističke brojke počeo je potragu za uspješnijim metodama liječenja. Tako je između ostalog u Londonu na konferenciji upoznao doktoricu Johannu Budwig, dok je kasnije u želji da bolje sagleda liječenje i izlječenje od malignih bolesti obišao cijeli svijet, od Aljaske do Novog Zelanda (tridesetak zemalja), istraživao učinke više od 100 terapija i razgovarao s više od 1.000 pacijenata koji su ozdravili unatoč slabim prognozama za ozdravljenje. Iz svega toga je iznikao njegov terapijski sustav koji je nazvao "3E" (njemački: Ernährung, Entgiftung, Energie) koji se sastoji od zdrave prehrane, eliminacije toksina i energetskog rada na sebi.

Godine 2001. objavio je svoju do sada jedinu knjigu s provokativnim naslovom "Kemoterapija liječi rak i Zemlja je ravna ploča" (do sada je objavljeno 7 izdanja i prodano je više od 30.000 primjeraka). Knjiga je do sada prevedena na engleski, hrvatski i slovenskijezik. U knjizi je opisano više teorija uzroka raka, konvencionalne metode liječenja, autorov sustav liječenja 3E i pedesetak nekonvencionalnih (takozvanih alternativnih) terapija.

Godine 2002.g. je primio američku nagradu za alternativnu medicinu NFAM u Washingtonu, a 2006.g. je otvorio svoj holistički Centar "3E" kraj Stuttgarta. Hrvatsku je posjetio u prosincu 2008.g., te je u Zagrebu održao nekoliko popularnih predavanja.

Veza s Hrvatskom
Knjiga "Kemoterapija liječi rak i Zemlja je ravna ploča" objavljena je na hrvatskom jeziku u listopadu 2008. i doživjela drugo izdanje u ožujku 2009.

Lothar Hirneise je gostovao na Hrvatskoj televiziji u emisiji Na rubu znanosti 2. veljače 2009.g.

New York State DMV Giving "Green Light" a Test Drive
Today - Monday, December 16, 2019, New York State Department of Motor Vehicles offices will open their doors to qualified persons seeking a driver license – including undocumented immigrants - who can provide satisfactory proof of identity and state residence. This follows legislation signed into law by Governor Andrew M. Cuomo on June 17, 2019. The statute, titled the Driver's License Access and Privacy Act, is commonly referred to as the Green Light Law. It allows all New Yorkers age 16 and older to apply for a standard, not for federal purpose, non-commercial driver license or learner permit regardless of their citizenship or lawful status in the U.S.A.
Well, most of the DMV offices will open their doors to undocumented immigrant applicants. Notable exceptions may be in Rensselaer, Erie, Niagara and Genesee Counties, all of which have County Clerks on record as opposing issuance of driver licenses to this population on the notion that it will lead to an epidemic of ID fraud, illegal voting, and other offenses -- a parade of horribles reminiscent of those some twelve years ago, discussed below. Rensselaer County Clerk Frank Merola's July 24, 2019 lawsuit against NYS, in which he was represented by attorneys at the Albany office of Harris Beach, PLLC, went so far as to suggest that the Green Light law would require him to violate federal laws that prohibit concealing, harboring, or shielding undocumented persons. The Preliminary Statement supporting their motion for a preliminary injunction, filed with the U.S. District Court of Appeals for the Northern District of New York on November 11, 2019, said that "the Green Light Law conscripts county clerks across New York State, including Mr. Merola, into participating in a State-sanctioned scheme to violate and otherwise obstruct federal laws aimed at protecting our country's national security."
The Immigration Practice Group attorneys at Whiteman Osterman & Hanna LLP disagree: state DMVs are not federal immigration enforcement agencies, but rather state agencies whose mission is to issue secure identity documents, deliver essential motor vehicle and driver related services, and administer motor vehicle laws enacted to promote safety and protect consumers. See https://dmv.ny.gov/about-dmv/about-dmv. Section 250(5) of the NYS Vehicle and Traffic Law says: "As used in this section, the term 'resident' shall mean domiciliary, that is, one who lives in this state with the intention of making it a fixed and permanent abode. It shall be presumptive evidence that a person who maintains a place of abode in this state for a period of at least ninety days is a resident of this state." The DMV requires that when a person becomes a NYS resident, she or he must obtain a NYS driver license within 30 days. For many years there has been a sizeable NYS population requiring a driver license, but ineligible to receive one. With the Green Light Law, NYS is bringing itself into compliance with its own requirements for the privilege of driving as a resident of this state, and complies with the REAL ID Act.
By way of background, according to an August 2015 report by The Pew Charitable Trusts:
"Until the 1990s, states did not explicitly restrict unauthorized immigrants from obtaining driver's licenses. California was the first to enact such a restriction in 1993, followed by Arizona in 1996."
"While issuing driver's licenses and determining eligibility remains a state-level choice and responsibility, the federal government took on a role when the REAL ID Act was signed into law in 2005. The legislation set minimum standards that states had to adopt for licenses to be recognized by federal agencies for official purposes. Among those purposes, as defined by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), are gaining access to federal facilities, entering nuclear power plants, and boarding federally regulated commercial planes."
"This law expressly authorizes states to provide licenses to unauthorized immigrants, but only if the licenses are distinct from regular ones in specific ways."
"States complying with the act can issue driver's licenses to unauthorized immigrants, but they must create an alternative license for this purpose. (These states also may issue alternative licenses to others who are either ineligible for or who choose not to apply for a REAL ID-compliant license.) According to DHS, these alternative licenses must have a unique color or design. They must clearly state on their face that they are not accepted for federal identification or for official purposes."
It was around 2004 that it became difficult or impossible for undocumented immigrants to obtain a NYS license or ID under the administration of then-Governor George Pataki - without legislative approval. On September 21, 2007, his successor, Governor Eliot Spitzer, and the DMV Commissioner issued a release concerning "an administrative policy change that will give all New Yorkers the opportunity to apply for state driver licenses without regard to immigration status." The release stated that the "DMV estimates that tens of thousands of undocumented, unlicensed and uninsured drivers are currently on New York's roads, contributing to increased accidents and hit-and-runs as well as higher auto insurance rates. In addition, bringing more New Yorkers into the system will ensure a greater number of people have a license record that, if necessary, can be used to enhance law enforcement efforts." Law enforcement efforts would be a winner in the view of the Spitzer Administration, because the true identity of an applicant would be established under stricter and more secure requirements that prevent the use of fraudulent documents to obtain a driver license or state identification.
In reporting the Spitzer announcement, The New York Times noted on September 22, 2007 that behind the proposed shift was "a study showing that unlicensed drivers were almost five times more likely to be in fatal crashes than people with valid driver's licenses. The State Department of Insurance estimates that the new rules will save New York drivers $120 million each year by reducing premium costs associated with uninsured motorists by 34 percent." That article and others pointed out that the Spitzer policy was not new and would actually return New York State's practice to that of about four years earlier, before the restrictions imposed by the Pataki Administration.
The outcry following the Spitzer announcement was immediate, loud, and sustained, and the change was never implemented. The Albany Times Union reported on September 27, 2007 that many upstate New York county clerks, including those in Rensselaer and Columbia counties, said they would protest, or even refuse to implement, the changed policy. Rensselaer County Clerk Frank Merola then reportedly "planned to turn away those who can't prove they are citizens or who have a visa to be in the U.S.," and would "send those without a visa or proof of citizenship across the Hudson River to the state Department of Motor Vehicles office in Albany, once the new policy is in full effect in May." Erie and Niagara county clerks reportedly indicated they would alert police and immigration officials when undocumented persons applied for licenses.
Twelve years later, not much has changed. The Erie County Clerk filed suit against the Green Light Law (and lost) and, as noted above, Rensselaer County Clerk Merola literally followed suit. It remains to be seen how they and other state officials opposing the Green Light Law will respond to its implementation.
It must be noted that the Green Light Law provisions for issuing driver licenses to undocumented immigrants are in compliance with the REAL ID Act – a fact that the Harris Beach attorneys appeared to acknowledge in their motion for preliminary injunction:
"The REAL-ID Act requires that any identification issued for official purposes (e.g., accessing Federal facilities and boarding federally regulated commercial aircraft) meet certain requirements. States may issue noncompliant identifications and driver's licenses, but only if they satisfy other certain requirements, including that the noncompliant cards must "clearly state[] on its face that it may not be accepted by any Federal agency for federal identification or any other official purpose" and must also "use[] a unique design or color indicator to alert Federal agency or other law enforcement personnel that it may not be accepted for any such purpose" See Pub. L. 109–13 § 11." (emphasis added)
Later in that same paragraph, their motion stated that "noncompliant licenses do state that they are 'not for federal purposes'" but complained about "the fine print hidden in the right-hand upper corner" of the document.
Indeed, the DMV makes clear that the three types of driver licenses authorized by NYS will be distinctive. A REAL ID compliant license will bear a star. An enhanced driver license will bear a U.S. flag. And, "[i]n accordance with the law, all licenses that do not meet REAL ID standards are marked "NOT FOR FEDERAL PURPOSES" in all capital letters, easily discerned and in no more "fine print" than other data on a license. See https://dmv.ny.gov/driver-license/driver-licenses-and-green-light-law.
We are pleased that the lawsuit of County Clerk Merola was dismissed by U.S. Senior Judge Gary L. Sharpe on December 13, 2019, giving the "green light" to the law statewide. Cianna Freeman-Tolbert, Esq., an attorney with the Immigration Practice Group at Whiteman Osterman & Hanna LLP, spoke that same day with WTEN's Tim Lake. In doing so, she noted that New York residents may apply for a driver license at any NYS DMV office, so applicants should appear where they know they'll be welcome.

Vitamins are necessary micronutrients that people need in small amounts for immunity, metabolism, normal growth and various important functions in our body. Now a days, vitamins are widely prescribed in our country for different health complications. In this project entitled 'Prescribing trends of vitamins in specialized healthcare facilities of Dhaka' six different classes of disorders which are: neurological, nephrological, oncological, diabetic, ophthalmic, chest were chosen. We conducted our survey in six different specialized healthcare facilities of the metropolitan city Dhaka and 100 samples were collected from each. After compilation and extensive analysis of the collected data I found that 60% of prescriptions for nephrological complications contained vitamins which is the highest among all six types of disorder chosen. Vitamin B has the highest prevalence in the prescriptions when it comes to the type of vitamins prescribed for each disease. When analyzed the prescribing tendency for vitamins was found the highest in the prescriptions for ophthalmological complications which was 29% in comparison to total number of drugs prescribed. The composition of supplements for vitamin A, C, E and B complex were found to have the higher dose more than RDA for daily consumption. It was also found that the majority of prescribed brands of vitamins are manufactured by Square Pharmaceuticals Limited.

Q: Import pyarmor obfuscated code using importlib Suppose I have 2 modules - one has been obfuscated by PyArmor. The other imports the obfuscated module and uses it:
# obfuscated.py
def run_task(conn):
    conn.send_msg("Here you go")
    print(conn.some_val + 55)
    return 0

# Non obfuscated (user) code
import importlib.util

class conn:
    some_val = 5

    def send_msg(msg):
        print(msg)

def main():
    # import obfuscated # This works...but I need to dynamically load it:

    # This does not:
    spec = importlib.util.spec_from_file_location("module.name", r'c:\Users\me\obfuscated.py')
    obfuscated = importlib.util.module_from_spec(spec)
    spec.loader.exec_module(swdl)
    ret = obfuscated.run_task(conn)
    print("from main: ", ret)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

If I import the obfuscated file using import it is fine. But I need to use importlib to dynamically import the obfuscated file. The importlib does not work - I get:
AttributeError: module 'module.name' has no attribute 'obfuscated'

The idea is that the user can write a script using the API available within obfuscated.py but need to load the module from wherever it resides on their system.
Is there anyway to achieve this?

A: I think I have a method based on what I read here: https://pyarmor.readthedocs.io/en/latest/mode.html#restrict-mode
I use a proxy between the user code and the obfuscated code.

*

*User code may or may not be obfuscated

*The obfuscated code is obviously obfuscated!

*The proxy must not be obfuscated (for simplicity, I obfuscated everything then copied the original proxy.py over the obfuscated one)

So, now user code imports the proxy.py using importlib instead of the obfuscated.py.
And the proxy merely imports the obfuscated.py:
# proxy.py
import obfuscated

A: I managed to import modules dynamically in this way:
    code = open('c:\Users\me\obfuscated.py','r').read()
    spec = importlib.util.spec_from_loader(package_name,loader=None)
    module = importlib.util.module_from_spec(spec)
    module.__file__ = 'c:\Users\me\obfuscated.py'
    globals_dict = {"__file__":module.__file__}
    exec(code, globals_dict)
    for item in [x for x in globals_dict["__builtins__"] if not x.startswith("_")]:
        setattr(module,item,globals_dict["__builtins__"].get(item))

It reads code from a file, initiates a module, and eventually puts variables in a dictionary. You can find the module's functions in globals_dict["__builtins__"]

Thoughts from the mind of Martin
Open in IE Version 1.5
Martin Witters / September 07, 2015
Today marks the release of an updated version of my Open in IE add-on for Firefox. This add-on is utilized by over 10,000 people on a daily basis to open certain sites in Internet Explorer that don't work correctly in Firefox. I originally developed this to addressmy own frustrations, but I am thrilled to see that so many other people have benefited from my work.
This update fixes a couple nagging bugs which I had received feedback about. But it also marks a major change in the architecture of the add-on. Prior versions were XUL-based, meaning they contained a mix of XML and JavaScript to modify the browser chrome—adding menu items, a toolbar button, and an options window—and handle click events. With that architecture, the functionality was spread over several different files and folders, some XML, some JavaScript. Even for me as the lone developer, it was a confusing mess every time I revisited it to make updates. From the user perspective, the main drawback of this approach was thateach install or update required youto restart the browser in order to see the new functionality.
The new version is what Mozilla calls a "bootstrapped" extension. With the new add-on architecture, the user does not need to restart the browser after installing or updating the add-on. It is immediately incorporated into the browser's UI and functionality. But behind the scenes, in the code, the changes are radical. Radical, but definitely better! All the same functionality was accomplished with just two JavaScript files and a handful of icons. An SDK provided by Mozilla made the transition as painless as possible, with command-line tools for creating the files, loadingthe add-on for testing in the browser, and packaging everything up for deploying to the add-on site. A future blog post will detail the steps involved in this transition.
Also, I'm happy to announce that the add-on is officially open source! While you have always been able to download the xpi file and open it up to see what's inside, I have now posted the source code to GitHub. That means you can browse the code yourself and see how it works. Also,if there is a specific feature that you would like to see in this add-on, you can code it yourself and create a pull request to get it incorporated in the released version. Enjoy!
With the release of Windows 10, Microsoft is retiring Internet Explorer and replacing it with a new browser named 'Edge'. The Open in IE add-on can be madeto target Edge by changing the path to IE in the options window. But to make life easier, and to keep the statistics separate, I will be publishing a new add-on that targets Edge by default. Look for this new release around the time of the Windows 10 release.

During the existence of the Dreamcast, Capcom has been releasing a whole lot of their best titles ever created like Power Stone, Tech Romancer, Street Fighter Alpha 3, Marvel VS Capcom, JoJo's Bizzare Adventure, Resident Evil: Code Veronica, and more ! When the Street Fighter III series came out starting with Double Impact, it has made every SF fan's dream come true and when Third Strike came out a year after Double Impact, it was agreed that it was one of the greatest SF titles among the series, according to the fans. Some people would say it's the worst Street Fighter ever, or as always, just another Street Fighter game. Whoever doubts this game or gives it a low score, is totally out of their mind. Street Fighter III: Third Strike in my opinion, is still revolutionary and arcade perfect even today. The graphics look even better than that of the two Street Fighter III titles featured in Double Impact. There are barely any pixels and the characters move at a smooth framerate. Furthermore, most characters look like they're featured in an anime. The backgrounds and special effects look great but some stages look kinda dull. The audio is improved and better than ever. The background music is pumped up with techno and hip-hop. It even has their own rap song about the game itself which sounds fairly catchy. The sound effects during fights still sound like the ones from the other SF3 series like the hitting and the hyper sound of executed super moves. The gameplay is much improved over the other Street Fighter III games and the fighting engine is much better. Now you can parry in any direction, even in the air. Plus, you get an arsenal of new moves for each character, but not all of them. The controls still remains faithful to the SF3 series, but it has more variety than the other SF fighting engines. And finally, in one of the Bonus Stages during the Arcade mode, you can hit an SUV Truck until it explodes. This was an old element featured in Street Fighter II where you hit a car in both directions. Now it's featured in this game. And you still get the Parrying stage where Sean throws numerous red, white, and blue Basketballs. When it comes to a selection of characters, it doesn't get any better than this. You still get classic characters like Ryu, Ken, Akuma, Yun, Yang, Alex, Dudley, Urien, Oro, Necro, Elena, Sean, Ibuki, and Hugo. Plus some new characters like Q, Remy, Twelve, Makoto, and the triumphant return of the first lady of Street Fighter, Chun-Li. So in the end, Street Fighter III: Third Strike is one of the greatest 2D fighters ever known in the Dreamcast's library of 2D fighting games. If you never bought this one, you have already missed out on one of the greatest 2D fighters, and you'll have to wait a little longer for a used version to arrive at your retailer. But by all means, if you still like Street Fighter, Third Strike will not dissappoint.

In the Season 6 finale "Help Me", House gives Cuddy an antique medical textual content written by her great-grandfather, which prompts her to admit that she and Lucas have been engaged. Cuddy, House and House's team go to Trenton to assist victims where a crane collapsed on a building.
Dr. James Wilson (Robert Sean Leonard), House's one true friend, is the pinnacle of the Department of Oncology. Dr. Lisa Cuddy (Lisa Edelstein), an endocrinologist, is House's boss, as she is the hospital's dean of medication and chief administrator. House has a fancy relationship with Cuddy, and their interactions usually involve a high degree of innuendo and sexual pressure. In the sixth episode of season 5, "Joy", they kiss for the primary time.
At the start of season six, after spending time in Mayfield, House stops taking pain
Choosing Realistic Plans Of House & Home Improvement
Cuddy's relationship with House progressed throughout most of Season 7. After a number of exams, Wilson finds a mass in Cuddy's kidney and schedules a biopsy to happen later in the episode. Further "imaging exhibits enhancing masses across multiple lobes of Cuddy's lungs", of which Foreman points out "That's what kidney most cancers seems like when it metastasizes". Finally, simply before surgical procedure to have the tumor removed, House reveals up to help his girlfriend via this powerful time.
As the decision dragged on, Fox Entertainment president Kevin Reilly said in January, "We have simply been avoiding it, to be honest with you." The delay also gave Fox a chance to see how some new mid-season dramas carried out. Although Alcatraz took a dip reverse the launch of NBC's The Voice on Mondays, it carried out strongly for Fox and is a shoo-in for renewal. The new Kiefer Sutherland drama Touch, which begins its full run in March, did properly in its January 25 preview. With each reveals in his pocket, as well as a potential Terra Nova renewal and five drama pilots in the works, Reilly had extra incentive to let House go. In the United States, modern …


Co2 (Carbon Dioxide) Concentration in Cabins is just as critical- if not more so than the removal of Airborne Particulate and Fibre from the Cabin.
Primarily, results from the natural breathing of the Occupant(s) via consuming of the contained oxygen in the Cabin.
Excess will contribute to Operator Reduced Concentration, Fatigue, Micro- sleeps and Acidosis.
Is normally off- set by the Quality Cabin Environmental Air System's Fresh Air Supply Unit- and not the Recirculation Air Supply.
Can exceed allowable limits of 700- 1000 ppm (WHO) with a single occupant in a Vehicle Cabin- within 8 minutes ion a relaxed state / ambient conditions (eg no Operator activity such as driving) and extremes of ambient conditions (enlarge the Image in the LHSide Column to see our Test Cabin results).
The AIRAH (Australian Institute of Refrigeration, Air- conditioning and Heating) states that to avoid harmful Co2 Concentration then Ventilation / "Exhaust" Air Flow or "Leakage" from a Cabin, with a single occupant should between 7.5- 10 Litres / second. If you have 4 people in a Light Vehicle then the ventilation / Exhaust / leakage Air form the External Supply Unit of your Quality Cabin Environmental Air System should be between 30- 40 Litres / second.
Important Note: Exhaust / Ventilation Air Flow can only be provided by the External Air Supply Unit. So one needs to consider the Air Flow rate of the External Air Supply Unit only as the Recirculation Air supply Unit just "recirculates" air inside the Cabin. See the video of our Test Cabin for Co2 Testing at this link.
Cabin Sealing / Air Loss / Cabin leakage: Whilst a well sealed Cabin is required (correct Cabin Pressurisation), it should not be sealed ("air tight") to the extent that Co2 will not be displaced / expelled from the Cabin. Subsequently, part of the design of the Quality Cabin Environmental Air System is to ensure optimum Positive Cabin Pressure, Fresh Air supply and "controlled leakage" (air loss) from the Cabin.
Full Recirculation Air Supply Mode: So as to increase Operator / Occupant Comfort or where travelling in Dust Conditions, most Operators will switch the HVAC System to Full Recirculation Mode. This a serious error, as not only will this Depressurise the Cabin ("sucking contamination into the Cabin) but also cause rapid Co2 Concentration.
External Filter Blockage / Loading: A In- Cabin Pressurisation & Monitoring device must also be installed so as to monitor and warn the Operator if Cabin Pressure and respective Fresh Air Flow falls below the safe set- point, otherwise rapid Co2 concentration will occur (and depressurising of the Cabin- ingress of Contamination).
Cabin External Air supply was turned Off- Cabin depressurised ("blue" graph line) and Recirculation Air supply was left On (that is cabin Air was Recirculation Supply only).
Co2 is measured and displayed as the "brown" graph line and it climbed to nearly 6 x times the allowable Co2 limits within 15 minutes- the allowable limit (700- 1000 ppm) was exceeded only after >4 minutes.
