NASCAR's Kurt Busch not charged
Jon Offredo
NASCAR's Kurt Busch will not be charged by the Delaware Attorney General's office.
Attorney General Matt Denn's office declined to file charges stemming from a complaint in November by the driver's ex-girlfriend Patricia Driscoll. Thursday's decision concludes a monthslong investigation that has kept the NASCAR world guessing what would happen to the driver known as "The Outlaw."
"After a thorough consideration of all of the available information about the case, it is determined that the admissible evidence and available witnesses would likely be insufficient to meet the burden of establishing beyond a reasonable doubt that Mr. Busch committed a crime during the Sept. 26 incident," Delaware Attorney General spokesman Carl Kanefsky said in an email. "Likelihood of meeting that high burden of proof is the standard for prosecutors in bringing a case. For this reason, the Department of Justice will not pursue criminal charges in this case."
Jim Liguori, Busch's local attorney, said Thursday morning that the Attorney General's Office came to the right conclusion.
"My hat is off to the Attorney General's office," he said. "They didn't take this lightly, and we appreciate that."
The driver, in a statement, said he is "grateful that the prosecutors in Delaware listened, carefully considered the evidence, and after a thorough investigation decided to not file criminal charges against me."
"I wish to thank my family, friends, fans, and race team who stood by me throughout this nightmare with their unwavering support. Thanks also goes to my legal team for making sure that the truth got out and was fully provided to the prosecutors," the email from Busch's public relations team said. "As I have said from the beginning, I did not commit domestic abuse. I look forward to being back in racing as soon as possible and moving on with my life."
Driscoll, president of the Armed Forces Foundation and a defense contractor, alleges Busch grabbed her by the throat and slammed her head three times against the bedroom wall of his motor home during a race weekend in Dover. A Kent County Family Court commissioner ruled in favor of Driscoll in January and granted a protection order against the driver in a separate civil matter.
NASCAR, acting off that civil decision, suspended the driver indefinitely, two days before the Daytona 500. Busch has since agreed to terms of reinstatement with NASCAR.
On Thursday, in an e-mailed statement, NASCAR officials said the Attorney General's decision to not press charges, "certainly removes a significant impediment to his reinstatement."
The protection order, which expires in 2016, stipulates Busch has to stay 100 yards away from Driscoll, her home and workplace. At NASCAR races, he has to maintain the maximum "practicable" distance from her and not attempt to contact her.
In an emailed statement Thursday, Driscoll said she has spoken at length, and candidly, in an effort to correct the "distortions and sensationalism" that has marked the coverage in the last few months.
"While I respect the process, I am disappointed that full justice was not served here," she said in the statement. "In all future developments in this case, I will continue to stand up for my integrity and for justice. But for now, I am focused on my family, my friends, and my important and gratifying work with the Armed Forces Foundation."
"We're very disappointed that the Attorney General's office chose not to prosecute, but it only makes [the protection order] that much more important," said Carolyn McNeice, Driscoll's attorney. "I understand their position, but I am disappointed."
Last September, on the night of the alleged abuse, Driscoll says she visited Busch out of concern for his mental state after a breakup and a poor race performance. Driscoll, who brought her son with her that night, said in court she became concerned after he texted her that he was on the floor, crying after watching the Brad Pitt movie, "Seven Years in Tibet."
Rusty Hardin, Busch's attorney, said Driscoll showed up unannounced and broke into the driver's motor home. Hardin did not immediately return a call for a comment Thursday morning.
Busch's legal camp has long denied Driscoll's allegations and instead claimed she was a jilted ex-lover who was determined to ruin the driver's career. On the stand, Busch said he never slammed her head, grabbed her by the throat or pushed her head against the wall. Instead, he said he cupped her face and told her to leave. A Dover police detective testified Busch had told him the same thing, but also that Driscoll's head tapped the wall as he cupped her face.
Cpl. Mark Hoffman, Dover Police Department spokesman, said in a statement that police conducted a thorough investigation and turned over all of the findings to the Attorney General's office.
"We respect their decision in regards to the case and will have no further comment," Hoffman said.
The hearing gained attention after Busch testified he believed Driscoll was a trained assassin who had killed drug lords. The driver said Driscoll, who owns her own defense contracting firm, is a "bad ass" and could have overpowered him at any time.
She has since refuted those claims, saying Busch was pulling information from a screenplay he had once edited for her.

JOSE MOURINHO was faced with a team full of insecure players when he took charge at Chelsea in 2004.
That's according to Claude Makelele who says the boss had to change the mentality of the Blues stars he inherited.
Mourinho labelled himself 'The Special One' on his arrival on account of winning the Champions League with Porto the year before.
And he set about instilling his own supreme confidence in his players who lacked the winning mentality needed at the highest echelons of the sport.
Makelele was one of the few players who had already achieved great success in the game during his time at Real Madrid.
And the defensive midfielder told The Sun of his surprise at finding a lack of confidence in his new Chelsea team-mates.
The Frenchman, 45, said: "When I first arrived at Chelsea, I saw something that shocked me.
"There were big teams, Manchester United and Arsenal, and all the time we would play them and I'd hear, 'F***ing hell, it's going to be difficult'.
"What? We can't beat Arsenal? My team-mates were insecure and that shocked me, I had come from Real Madrid where I won everything.
"I understood my team-mates — Arsenal won with Thierry Henry scoring and with Patrick Vieira.
"But they were my friends and I played with them for the national team and I wouldn't be afraid.
"When I saw this, I wanted to change it with my team-mates and say 'No, this is possible'.
"We did change the mentality and, after, we beat them all the time and were fighting for the Premier League.
"I learnt a lot with Mourinho about being a competitor, about being focused on details and the consequences of your management.
"He made me understand football in a different way. Football is not just happiness.
"He makes you understand about society, partnerships, fans, media, every detail.


Paul Moya, age 30, is one of eight (8) candidates seeking the Democratic nomination for New Mexico's First Congressional District to replace Mitchelle Lujan Grisham who is running for New Mexico Governor.
Mr. Moya is a graduate of Los Lunas High School, went on to get his undergraduate degree at Notre Dame in Business Finance and his graduate degree in Education from Harvard and he is fluent in Spanish.
Paul Moya is a successful small-business owner as CEO of Millennial Labs, a full-service consulting firm that has impacted leaders from organizations ranging from Acura to the United States Department of Defense.
If elected, Mr. Moya would become the youngest member of congress and be the youngest hispanic in history to cast a vote in congress.
Thus far, I have not heard much of any discussion of this country's ongoing gun control debate amongst the Democrat candidates for Congress, until now.
"I was incredibly inspired by the "March for Our Lives" [demonstrations that occurred on March 24], and I was proud to support the students who marched here in Albuquerque. While this event and debates around gun violence have been politically charged since the terrible massacre in Parkland, (that) Saturday's marches were a sharp reminder that an entire generation has grown up practicing active shooter drills, fearful of when tragedy might strike their own school. These students are afraid – yet empowered – and it is past time we create comprehensive strategies to keep our schools safe.
What can we do to prevent gun violence and tragedy from impacting future lives? One answer is to actually listen to the students and focus on what they're saying will make them feel more secure. As Albuquerque march organizers so eloquently declared: "Safety to us looks like prevention, intervention, and support services." So, let's start there.
When reviewing plans put forth by elected officials and candidates, I find they are often limited in scope and do not adequately address those three critical elements – prevention, intervention and support services. Physical security, such as metal detectors or armed resource officers, may make schools look more secure, but they don't address what happens before an armed gunman arrives. Gun legislation, including universal background checks and bans on assault weapons, high-capacity magazines and bump stocks may restrict access and limit potential carnage, but it, too, fails to deal with what's happening with the individual.
That's why, as important as physical security measures and gun legislation might be, we must also shift the culture of our schools to prevent students from reaching a psychological or emotional point where they view gun violence as an answer in the first place. This is fundamental to keeping our students safe.
Schools must be appropriately funded to promote environments free of bullying, harassment, discrimination and assault. We must expand mental health services and ensure there is adequate staffing in schools to provide care for those who need it most. Likewise, we must reform school discipline to avoid ostracizing troubled students through exclusionary practices. Instead, we want them to remain engaged in the school and their community through positive emotional, behavioral and academic success plans.
Next, we need to strengthen bonds (among) law enforcement, mental health care professionals and school leaders, allowing them to better work together to identify threats and intervene when necessary. More practically, this means reforming legal barriers that prevent information sharing when a threat is made. And we need time-limited restraining orders allowing local law enforcement to intervene and remove firearms from an individual who has threatened violence against themselves or their community.
Finally, we must conduct scientific research to confront this public health crisis. To that end, Congress must repeal the Dickey Amendment and allow gun violence research at the CDC. (The recently enacted) spending bill included language to allow for research to be conducted – a positive development – but it lacked federal funding to actually do it. We can find evidence-based ways to reduce gun violence that respect Second Amendment rights, but we cannot do it without congressional resources.
And now the country can add the Parkland/Stoneridge High School shooting that resulted in 17 children's deaths.
The difference with the Parkland shooting and all the other mass shootings is that it has finally ignited a national discussion on gun control with the March for Our Life's movement, and it was the children of our county that have said enough is enough.
And the National Rifle Association (NRA) no doubt realizes that a sleeping giant has now been awaken and that two generations of voters are now "pissed".
The millions of people who marched on March 24 in Washington, DC and in cities all over the country is a reflection just how upset voters are and was a clear message to congress the time has come to tell the NRA and the politicians they have in their pockets to pound sand.
The Pew institute has reported that millennials cast 34 million votes in 2016 election, nearly double the number they cast in 2008.
Over 4 million new voters will become 18 and old enough and eligible to vote in the 2018 election.
Combined, millennials and Generation Xers cast a slight majority of total votes cast in 2016, more than the Baby Boomers and older voters for the first time in decades.
There are many legislative proposals, albeit too controversial for many running for office and who hold office to stomach, that could be considered on a state level and on the federal level that could be proposed or enacted by our federal and state officials and those running for office.
1. Repeal the New Mexico Constitutional provision that allows the "open carry" of firearms. This would require a public vote and no doubt generate heated discussion given New Mexico's high percentage of gun ownership for hunting, sport or hobby.
2. Prohibit in New Mexico the sale of "ghost guns" parts. Ghost guns are guns that are manufactured and sold in parts without any serial numbers to be assembled by the purchaser and that can be sold to anyone.
3. Requiring in New Mexico the mandatory purchase of "liability insurance" with each gun sold as is required for all operable vehicles bought and driven in New Mexico.
4. Enact a gun violence restraining order and extreme risk protection process to temporarily prohibit an individual deemed by a judge to pose a danger to self or others, from purchasing or possessing firearms or ammunition and allow law local law enforcement to remove any firearms or ammunition already in the individual's possession.
5. Restrict and penalize firearm possession by or transfer to a person subject to a domestic violence protection order or a person, including dating partners, convicted of a domestic violence misdemeanor.
6. Mandate the school systems and higher education institutions "harden" their facilities with more security doors, security windows, and security measures and alarm systems and security cameras tied directly to law enforcement 911 emergency operations centers.
1. Implementation of background checks on the sale of all guns.
2. Close the "Charleston loophole" or "delayed denial" where federally licensed dealers can sell guns if three business days pass without FBI clearance.
3. Call for the update and enhancement of the federal National Instant Criminal Background Check system (NCIS).
4. Institute mandatory extended waiting periods for all gun purchases.
5. Implement mandatory handgun licensing, permitting, training, and registration requirements.
6. Ban "bump-fire stocks" as was used in the Las Vegas mass shooting and other dangerous accessories.
7. Ban future manufacture and sale of all assault weapons and regulate existing assault weapons under the National Firearms Act of 1934, and initiate a federal gun buyback program.
8. Impose limits on high capacity magazines.
9. Prohibit firearm sale or transfer to and receipt or possession by an individual who has: (1) been convicted in any court of a misdemeanor hate crime, or (2) received from any court an enhanced hate crime misdemeanor sentence.
10. Institute mandatory child access prevention safe storage requirements and prohibit the sales of handguns with "hair triggers".
11. Provide more resources and treatment for people with mental illness.
12. Enhance accountability of federally licensed firearms dealers.
13. Implement micro stamped code on each bullet that links it to a specific gun.
14. Produce 'x-mart guns' with Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) or biometric recognition (fingerprint) capability.
15. Limit gun purchases to one gun per month to reduce trafficking and straw purchases.
16. Prohibit open carry of firearms.
17. Digitize Alcohol, Tobacco and Fire (ATF) gun records.
18. Require licensing for ammunition dealer.
Now that we are in an election year, New Mexico voters need to demand the positions from our candidates for Governor and for the New Mexico legislature where they stand on gun control.
Just as important, voters need to ask those running for congress where they stand on gun control and say what they think needs to be done to do to stop the mass shootings.
Congressional candidate Paul Moya has articulated a clear path forward when he talks of prevention, intervention, and support services reflecting someone who should be seriously considered to be sent to congress.


I know this sounds a bit hasty,but have you considered updrading to Windows 7 or Vista?
This fix definitely works for Intel-branded X55 motherboards with the same problem.
(second driver down): there was an update about three months ago, might want to check.
Still no, open the case and make sure your TPM Module connector is secure on the MB.
Next, in the 'BIOS > Integrated Peripherals,' there is an HD Audio "enable" selection, make sure that's on.
Finally, I'd say check the 'Properties' or 'Preferences' of the software that's crashing the Realtek. There might be an HD enable selection.
Windows XP even if it is SP3 installing and uninstalling drivers are not that all easy, If you prefer you can use driver cleaner to wipe the old driver installed then try the new driver for realtek - But then you could also try Tesaga suggestion to upgrade to Windows 7 or Vista.
Realtek High Definition Audio: Not Plugged in.

Q: Howto validate Collections in Maps I have a problem with the @Valid annotation of JSR-303. The annotation works fine for normal lists or and sets, but I am trying to validate Maps which contain Lists, i.e.
@Valid
HashMap<String, ArrayList<Object1>> map;

In this case, instances of Object1 class are not validated. Is there a convenient way to do this recursively, without iterating over every object and validating it manually?

A: The specification does not specify the validation behavior when the map values are themselves lists.
From JSR 303 specification:

Each object provided by the iterator is validated. For Map, the value
  of each Map.Entry is validated (the key is not validated).

Since the value in your case is a list, which does not have a @Valid annotation, it does not get processed. To get around this you can either:
Wrap the contained list in another bean, forcing the annotation processing onto the list.
public class ListHolder<T extends Iterable> {
    @Valid
    public T wrappedList;
}

Or alternatively you can write a custom validator to handle your complex maps. Something like this:
@Target({ METHOD, FIELD, ANNOTATION_TYPE })
@Retention(RUNTIME)
@Documented
@Constraint(validatedBy = ValidMapValidator.class)
public @interface ValidMap {
   String message() default "valid.map";

   Class<?>[] groups() default {};

   Class<? extends Payload>[] payload() default {};
}

public class ValidMapValidator implements
      ConstraintValidator<ValidMap, Map<?, ?>> {

   @Override
   public void initialize(final ValidMap annotation) {
      return;
   }

   @Override
   public boolean isValid(final Map<?, ?> map,
         final ConstraintValidatorContext context) {
      if (map == null || map.size() == 0)
         return true;

      // Iterate each map entry and validate
      return true;
   }
}

Donald Trump is a lot like your drunk uncle at Thanksgiving. He shows up at the house, even if you didn't invite him. He's an self-proclaimed expert on everything, and despite the fact that he's loud, boorish, and has horrible taste in interior decorating, you're kind of fond of him. He's better than your other uncles, like the one who won't shut up about protecting Christians' right to be prejudiced, or the one who's always ducking out to smoke weed. In fact, you're kind of looking forward to drunk Uncle Don knocking back a few tumblers and getting into a fight with your pant-suited aunt.


It's true, I had to break up with the Foreman today. It's been coming for awhile. No longer will he come clean after grilling my favourite foods, and he's starting to lose his non-stick coating. It's been a great 5+ years, but sometimes you just have to move on. Good thing I already had a trip planned to the dump.
But before the eventful trip to the city dump, I had a nice little lunch.
It started with some chicken & smoked oyster gumbo (still finding treasures in my freezer!). It was a good choice for this rainy, dreary day.
I paired up my soup with a salad.
I tossed some red leaf lettuce with Annie's Raspberry Vinaigrette Dressing, and topped it with shredded carrot, cucumber, sheep's milk feta, and some pine nuts.
I also ran a few other errands while I was out, and I think I finally have my address changed with everyone I need to. I figure if I can't remember any more to change, then they can't be that important anyways, right? Just in case though – I got the post office to forward any mail for the next 3 months as well.
When I got back, I was in the mood for a little something something. I knew I had some frozen watermelon, and wanted to blend it up into a frothy fun drink – despite the grey skies.
Into the Magic Bullet cup when frozen watermelon, So Delicious Coconut Milk Ice Cream, a little fresh watermelon, a little water, and perhaps a splash of Malibu 😉 It took a little coaxing, but I finally ended up with the blended drink I was looking for.
How deep is your freezer? Wow.
The watermelon ice cream is so great. I need to get a magic bullet, really bad. It's the first thing on my Christmas list!
What a great idea for a cool treat! Have fun at sushi tonight!


"Become as broad as possible in your astronomical interests and become proficient in the tools you will need...If you know your subject and are willing to work hard, you will be accepted." —Carolyn Spellmann Shoemaker, advice to aspiring female astronomers.
As a child, Carolyn Spellmann Shoemaker admits, she had little interest in science, and thought of astronomy as a field "relegated to only old men in white beards, smoking pipes and staring at the sky."
Yet by 1996, she had firmly established her reputation as an internationally known planetary astronomer by discovering a record-breaking 32 comets, including the famous Shoemaker-Levy 9, and more than 800 asteroids.
With her late husband Gene, she has also mapped craters on Earth to research the effect that asteroid impacts may have had on life and the environment. She is the most prolific comet-discoverer in the world, and a leading planetary astronomer. All this is made even more remarkable by her relatively late entry into the field.
As Shoemaker tells the story, "I came to astronomy at age 51 after my three children had left home and when I was looking for something fulfilling to do. I asked my husband, Gene, who could and did spend most of his time working in geology and planetary science, for suggestions. It was he who thought I might be interested in the telescopic search for near-Earth asteroids. I slid gradually into planetary astronomy as a field, while working on his search program."
Born Carolyn Jean Spellmann in 1929 in Gallup, New Mexico, the future "Comet Queen" moved to Chico as a child. She graduated from Chico High in 1946 and by 1950 had earned degrees in history and political science from Chico State, along with a teaching credential. After a brief stint teaching seventh grade, she met Eugene Shoemaker, who had been her brother's roommate at CalTech. They married in 1951, and Carolyn began a career as wife and mother while Eugene completed his Ph.D. at Princeton in 1960. The family settled eventually in Flagstaff, Arizona, where Eugene—a pioneer in the field of astrogeology— helped found the Astrogeology Research Program through the United States Geological Service.
"…loved it for the opportunity to keep on learning new things each day. Of course, the thrill of discovery of both asteroids and comets gave me a deep satisfaction."
Carolyn soon became a research assistant at the California Institute of Technology, and then a research professor of astronomy at Northern Arizona University. In 1993, she joined the staff of the Lowell Observatory. At the Palomar Observatory, she developed new stereoscopic techniques that enable researchers to scan twice as much of the sky as they previously could. She has received numerous awards, including the NASA Exceptional Scientific Achievement Medal (1996), an honorary doctorate from Northern Arizona University at Flagstaff (1990) and designation as a Cloos Scholar at Johns Hopkins University (1990). She is also co-recipient with her husband of the Scientists of the Year Award (1995), the Rittenhouse Medal (1988), and James Craig Watson Medal (1998).
Yet she cites the co-discovery (with her husband and David Levy) of the Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 as "the most satisfying and significant achievement of my life in astronomy." First discovered orbiting Jupiter in March, 1993, Shoemaker-Levy 9 collided with that planet sixteen months later. This discovery held important implications for the potential impact of near-Earth comets and asteroids.
Whether she is patiently scrutinizing photographic plates and films to find new comets and asteroids, continuing the work of her late husband in mapping impact craters, or lecturing around the world in the hopes of "inspir[ing] a new generation of comet-hunters and/or astronomers," Carolyn Shoemaker continues to demonstrate a passion for and dedication to her work. This dedication is perhaps summed up best in her own words from 2001: "I don't have time to retire. I have too much to do."

Q: hotkey to toggle between workspaces I want to toggle between two workspaces , ctr + alt + up/down doesn't suit me, because it requires two hands and I would prefer just a toggle hotkey like alt + ` or something to use with left hand.
explanation why i want this- im learning to code and technically i want to toggle between one chrome window with youtube lesson , and  other set would be different chrome window split screen with code editor.  So i guess workspaces are best option for this. Or maybe you have other suggestion for this workflow? Thanks.

A: You do not need workspaces for that. The Alt+tab task switcher can be set to work across desktops, so you can simply switch to a window on another workspace using Alt/Super+Tab
Option 1: Minor change
You could achieve this simply by changing the Alt+Tab Window switcher, that stock Ubuntu uses by default, to  cover all workspaces:
gsettings set org.gnome.shell.window-switcher current-workspace-only true

Reset this setting to the default setting by changing set to reset and leave out the value of the setting (true in this case).
This quickly may become impractical because the list of windows quickly can become large. Unless you are very disciplined and close any window you not immediately need, you may prefer to try the way it is handled in stock Gnome.
Option 2: Major change: revert to behavior of Stock Gnome
In stock gnome, you switch between applications across desktops with Alt/Super+Tab, and between windows of the same application across desktops with Alt/Super+`. This is how you change task switching in Ubuntu to behave like stock Gnome Shell:
gsettings set org.gnome.shell.app-switcher current-workspace-only false
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings switch-applications "['<Super>Tab', '<Alt>Tab']"
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings switch-applications-backward "['<Shift><Super>Tab', '<Shift><Alt>Tab']"
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings switch-group "['<Super>Above_Tab', '<Alt>Above_Tab']"
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings switch-group-backward "['<Shift><Super>Above_Tab', '<Shift><Alt>Above_Tab']"
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings switch-windows "[]"
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings switch-windows-backward "[]"

Again, you can undo as indicated above.
Option 3 - what you actually asked: change key binding
Change the relevant shortcut keys in "Settings - Keyboard".

Q: C# thread execution time changing I have a C# application to learn about multithreads.
This application triggers 4 threads at the same time and each threads do the same operations. Thread function just as below
        Watch_Task4.Start();

        for (int i = 0; i < 1000; i++)
        {
            Thread.Sleep(1);
        }

        Watch_Task4.Stop();

But when I measure the thread times, sometimes they are different approximately 10ms. While the code is runnig I analyzied CPU usage and its maximum %25. I also use ThreadPriority.Highest for my all threads.
So why the execution time is changing between threads and for same thread at each trials while CPU is not overloading?
I tried ProcessorAffinity but the result ise same. I need at least 1ms repeatibility.

Internet Embargo
The message was blinking on the screen as she watched, transfixed. The words started swimming around on the page, drifting in and out of focus while she sat, paralyzed. They leapt out at her – HUMAN THOUGHT – growing bigger in her line of vision and taking over completely.
If they weren't going to be thinking how would she monitor their thoughts? The Grand Triumvirate (TGT) had no tolerance for excuses. "Excuses" were a fascinating discovery. When humans were in trouble, when they hadn't done or said what they were supposed to have done, when they broke promises or commitments they could use excuses and get away with almost anything. TGT had greeted this discovery of hers with great amazement and equal disdain.
Now they would think she had learnt the art of making excuses from her subjects of study. If the humans weren't going to be thinking for an entire week how and what could she report back? This could jeopardize the whole project.
The World Wide Web had offered some amazing behavioral insights. She had seen them change and evolve and accept willingly the leashes that bound them to their laptops, computers and various hand-held devices. Laptops had replaced the bedtime book and people on the streets always appeared to be talking to themselves. They had little devices hidden behind their ears and a tiny microphones dangling around their necks. She had ridden with them on trains and buses, noticing their deep involvement with their gadgets. No one paid attention to their fellow travelers in this journey of life, it was a wonder they still needed to get up and go somewhere every morning! People didn't seem to need or want flesh and blood people anymore. Why, just last night she had watched a news snippet on TV about the International Pornographers Convention and their optimism about the new phenomenon of Pocket Porn. Cell phones could now provide titillation on demand! Well, well! Back home she had learnt about the outcome of such utter dependence on technology. It had taken them eons to recover from its soul-destroying effects.
Her efforts to understand humans had led to her becoming an avid chatter. She chatted around the clock, interacting with people all over the world. Loneliness was rampant. Real relationships had deteriorated or were somehow standing simply because their dissolution was a nuisance that wouldn't add anything meaningful to the their lives. Clean breaks were just as meaningless as unions. And now it was all virtual. People were virtually stimulating the same areas of the brain that got stimulated during the mating ritual simply by interacting across chat lines. She was very amused with the "a/s/l" inquiries that came her way each day as some lonely soul somewhere, on this vast blue planet, reached out to "touch" someone across high bandwidth cables.
So how was this world going to react to a shut down of the Web and subsequently human thoughts? It did cross her mind that this was perhaps a hoax, but her research validated its authenticity. She was worried for herself. The TGT would demand her return and immediate execution if she failed to send in her weekly report. They would never believe all thoughts were going to be shutdown for a week. They would think it was her ploy to take that vacation to the 12th moon of Jupiter. They believed human tendencies were contagious and disdainfully cited the example of a renegade predecessor of hers who had gone around sporting an S on his suit as he flew around making people wonder if he was a bird or a plane.
She needed to think and fast. The shut down would happen in a few hours. She decided to take a walk on the beach to clear her head. There still was time.
She walked along the shore watching the waves thinking about her future, when suddenly she saw it. It jumped out of the water, a gargantuan beast, before gliding back in. A plume of water shot out of its head. What was that? Could it be? This was wonderful! She had been reading about these sea creatures, there was some data that they were almost as, if not more, intelligent than the humans she had ended up studying all these years. It all came back to her now – The Discovery Channel – she remembered the Whale. They were even said to have a language of their own, a Whale song! Her problem was solved.
She summoned up all her energy, and saw the sands shift beneath her slowly disappearing feet, her legs turning into that mighty tailfin as she slid, smoothly into the calm waters.
She was going to be reporting on whales this week.

Tango Buenos Aires has become one of Argentina's great cultural exports, known throughout the Americas, Europe and the Far East as the most authentic and uncompromising representatives of the Tango. Tango Buenos Aires was created for the "Jazmines" festival at the famous Buenos Aires cabaret "Michelangelo" by renowned composer and tango director Osvaldo Requena. The company met with tremendous success and was immediately added to the season of the General San Martin Municipal Theatre.
Their program The Spirit of Argentina was inspired by Argentine singer, songwriter, composer and actor, and the most prominent figure in the history of tango, Carlos Gardel. Gardel's baritone voice and the dramatic phrasing of his lyrics made miniature masterpieces of his hundreds of three-minute tango recordings. Together with lyricist and long-time collaborator Alfredo Le Pera, Gardel wrote several classic tangos. Gardel died in an airplane crash at the height of his career, becoming an archetypal tragic hero mourned throughout Latin America. For many, Gardel embodies the soul of the tango style. He is commonly referred to as "Carlitos", "El Zorzal" (The [Song] Thrush), "The King of Tango", "El Mago" (The Wizard), "El Morocho del Abasto" (The Brunette boy from Abasto), and ironically "El Mudo" (The Mute).

Blog Pause Day 12: This post is an especially appropriate ending to the year being that we're not just on the verge of flipping a single page, but rather on the cusp of an entirely new calendar. Bring it on, 2012, bring it on.
Turning over a new page on a calendar is one of those simple life pleasures. A wide open expanse lies ahead. Even though these next weeks promise to be full, the calendar page is orderly. No days have been crossed off yet. It's a clean slate.
Sometimes I feel like this. I love crossing off days. I look forward to the next thing, and I strain toward the next goal. I think about selling outgrown baby gear at the next garage sale. I envision having my toddler pottytrained. I imagine going places without a diaper bag. I look forward to a day when my kids can unfasten their own seat belts, take their own baths, and tie their own shoes.
While it's not bad to look forward to the future, I want to make sure that I'm not crossing out days before I even live them.
One evening this summer we had a few students over for dinner. To be exact, they were three football players in the midst of a grueling practice schedule, and they were hungry. At the end of the meal, I served dessert -- generously-sized, still a tad warm, perfectly chewy brownies. Before I could blink, I looked at one boy's plate and the brownie was gone. I glanced up. He wasn't even still chewing.
I've done this before -- and not just with food. I've devoured without savoring. I've swallowed without tasting. In the end, it's disappointing. You're in such a rush that you miss all the pleasure.
I hope that you've enjoyed revisiting these posts during my end-of-the-year Blog Pause. As always, thank you for reading and voting with just one click.

Not to be confused with Ferrero SpA, the originally-unrelated Italian confectionery company that acquired Ferrara in 2017.

www.ferrarausa.com
The Ferrara Candy Company is an American candy manufacturer, based in Chicago, Illinois, and owned by the Ferrero Group.
The company was formed from a 2012 merger of the Illinois-based Ferrara Pan Candy Company and Minnesota-based Farley's & Sathers Candy Company. Ferrara's product line includes the brands of Ferrara-branded pan candy (such as Lemonheads, Atomic Fireballs, Red Hots, and Original Boston Baked Beans) and those of Farley's & Sathers (such as Brach's, Chuckles, Jujyfruits, and Now and Later). In November 2017, The Ferrero Group announced that they were going to acquire the company,[1] which was finalized in December 2017.[2]
In 2018, Ferrara's parent company Ferrero SpA purchased Nestlé's U.S. candy line for $2.8 billion and handed responsibility for most products to Ferrara. Former Nestle products now distributed in the U.S. by Ferrara include Butterfinger, Crunch, Baby Ruth, Raisinets, Nips, Skinny Cow, Laffy Taffy, and hard candy (such as Spree and Everlasting Gobstopper) formerly produced by Nestlé under the Willy Wonka brand.[3]
Ferrara announced it was moving its world headquarters to Chicago, Illinois in 2019.[4]
2 Timeline
The Ferrara family had been bakers in Italy. Salvatore Ferrara emigrated from Nola to New York in 1900.[5] In 1908, he opened a bakery at 772 W. Taylor, in the heart of Chicago's "Little Italy" neighborhood.[6] He sold candy-coated almonds known as "confetti" (or Jordan almonds), a popular treat at Italian weddings.[5]
When candy sales became greater than pastries, Ferrara partnered with two brothers-in-law, Salvatore Buffardi and Anello Pagano.[7] They built a two-story brick building at 2200 W. Taylor and began producing a variety of panned candies.[5] The second floor of the building was devoted to the revolving kettles that produced the pan candy, with all of the machines being driven by a giant wheel. The candy was dropped to the shipping department below through a hole in the floor.
The private equity firm Catterton Partners, owner of Farley's & Sathers Candy Company, arranged the 2012 deal whereby that well-established confectioner would merge with the Ferrara Pan Candy Company. Although Ferrara Pan Candy was only about half the size of Farley's & Sathers, the new company was christened as the Ferrara Candy Company, and was placed under the leadership of Ferrara Pan Chief Executive Salvatore Ferrara II.[8]
Ferrara Candy is headquartered in Chicago, Illinois. It operates seven manufacturing plants in the U.S. and Mexico, as well as distribution centers around the United States.
The company sells 92% of all mallowcremes in the U.S.; it is the largest producer of candy canes, the largest seller of conversation hearts and produces a large portion of the jelly beans that are consumed in the United States. The company has 21 starch moguls, of 40 in the U.S. as a whole. The company has between 700 and 800 pans operating at any given time. The company claims that it produces 1 million pounds of gummy candy per week in four manufacturing plants, two in the U.S. and two in Mexico. The company employs approximately 6,000 people.

Twenty two haplotypes were generated from a pool of 60 unrelated Saudi β thalassemia major patients using previously described restriction sites in the β globin gene. Linkage disequilibrium analysis of the polymorphic sites was also conducted, a few identified haplotypes were novel while the remainder was previously reported, haplotype1222212 was the most frequent haplotype in the study group and a strong linkage disequilibrium between two polymorphic restriction sites in these β thalassemia patients was uncovered.

The Return of at Sea Reloads: The Big Importance of Small Things
On the list of "unsexy but important" are many items from icebreakers, to command ships, to hospital ships, that every POM cycle get left on the cutting room floor by the gaggle of cats chasing laser pointers we have in charge of building our fleet.
On occasion, someone on the inside manages to do the right thing.
Today we have one of those things. In case you missed it, let's pull it above the ambient noise a bit;
The U.S. Navy is looking to restore its ability to reload its ships' vertical launch systems at sea, which could be a dramatic logistical game changer in the planning and execution of high-intensity contingencies against peer competitors.
After discussing the means by which the Navy seeks to ensure its forward-deployed naval forces remain survivable and up-to-date with the latest tactical and technological innovation, Admiral Richardson said in reference to vertical launch system (VLS) underway replenishment, "we're bringing that back."
Since its operational debut in 1986 aboard the sixth Ticonderoga-class cruiser, USS Bunker Hill, the Mark 41 vertical launch system and its successor the Mark 57 have become the main battery of the preponderance of the Navy's surface fleet, while the Mark 45 has become the principal means of deploying cruise missiles aboard submarines. Vertical launch systems are among the most adaptable weapon mounts that the Navy fields, allowing a ship to carry a variety of defensive and offensive missiles in the same shipboard infrastructure, and to fire them in rapid succession.
However, unlike other Navy striking arms like the carrier air wing, vertical launch systems cannot, at present, be practicably resupplied and reloaded while at sea. Once a VLS-equipped ship or submarine expends its missiles, it must withdraw to an equipped friendly port to replenish. This represents a significant operational liability, especially in high-intensity combat scenarios against peer adversaries.
Not just peer adversaries. As an old TLAM guy who managed to empty every operational TLAM out of one DDG and left a few DD & CG with only a handful of D1 & D2 warhead TLAM left - the inability to reload puts you in a pickle.
With our "peace dividend" carrier strike groups, you cannot afford to order a DDG or CG to steam a few days to some friendly port (if you have one) and then come back. Nope.
This is great news - and shows that now and then the right ideas can meet up with the right opportunity.
Now, let's talk about those armed icebreakers ....

Q: get values from each sheet of workbook of range in JavaScript I am trying to get values of each cell of given ranges  (ranges are in array (rangeAdd) and in form of "M1:T14") from all sheets in array (value of one sheet shall be in one row of array). My code is as follow,
async function getDataFromEachSheet(rangeAdd) {
  await Excel.run(async (context) => {
    var sheets = context.workbook.worksheets;
    sheets.load("items/name");
    await context.sync();
    sheets.items.forEach( (sheet) =>{
      var a =[]
      for (const currentRange of rangeAdd) {
        var range = sheet.getRange(currentRange);
        range.load("values");
        context.sync();
        console.log(range.values)
        var arr = [];
        arr = range.values
        var a = arr.join().split(',')
      }
    });
  });
}

I am getting
1."Unhandled promise rejection" and
2."The property 'values' is not available. Before reading the property's value, call the load method on the containing object and call "context.sync()" on the associated request context."
I am not able to use await context.sync() instead of context.sync();

A: Instead of using await context.sync() you can try using return context.sync().then(). So the updated code might look something like this:
async function getDataFromEachSheet(rangeAdd) {
  await Excel.run(async (context) => {
    var sheets = context.workbook.worksheets;
    sheets.load("items/name");
    await context.sync();
    sheets.items.forEach((sheet) => {
      var a = []
      for (const currentRange of rangeAdd) {
        var range = sheet.getRange(currentRange);
        range.load("values");
        return context.sync().then(()=>{
          console.log(range.values)
          var arr = [];
          arr = range.values
          var a = arr.join().split(',')
        })
      }
    });
  });
}

A: with help of Avoid using the context.sync method in loops https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/dev/add-ins/concepts/correlated-objects-pattern. I have managed to get Values with following code.
    async function getDataFromEachSheet(rangeAdd) {
      try {
      await Excel.run(async (context) => {
        const sheets = context.workbook.worksheets.load("items/name");
        await context.sync();
        var rangeObj = [];
        sheets.items.forEach((sheet) => {
          rangeAdd.forEach((currentRange) => {
            const range = sheet.getRange(currentRange).load("values") ;
            rangeObj.push(range);
          });
        });
        await context.sync();
        console.log(rangeObj)
      })
      }
      catch (error) {
        console.error(error);
        }
     }


MANHATTAN — When Zach Reuter thinks of Kansas State football, one word comes to mind.
"Toughness," said Reuter, the Wildcats' senior wide receiver.
It's an identity that has fueled K-State through Reuter's four years in uniform.
Linebacker Sam Sizelove, a fifth-year senior, sees it much the same.
The problem is that through the first two games, the 2018 Wildcats have yet to establish that defining trait on which they can hang their hats.
A lackluster start hasn't helped as the team had to rally to edge South Dakota 27-24 in the season opener, then was dominated last week in a 31-10 loss to No. 18-ranked Mississippi State.
But as they look ahead to a final nonconference tune-up Saturday against Texas-San Antonio, the Wildcats are determined to carve out that identity before opening Big 12 play on the road Sept. 22 at West Virginia.
"Our identity right now is that we're not a good offensive line, that we're not a good offense, right?" said senior right tackle Dalton Risner, a team captain and preseason All-American. "That's our identity.
For Sizelove, it's as much about attitude as anything.
"We need to go out there, impose our will and do it how we've done it for the past eight years," he said. "We need to be, at our core, a physical, sound defense, and the fact that we're not playing that way and we don't have that identity right now is a big problem.
The Wildcats especially were exposed last week by Mississippi State, which amassed 538 yards total offense, including 384 on the ground. They currently rank 101st nationally in total defense and 111th against the run.
The offense has not fared any better, producing just two touchdowns and ranking 113th in total offense, 115th in scoring.
When it comes to identity, K-State coach Bill Snyder is less concerned with what's in a name than with the bottom line.
"I think we have an identity; it's not one I like right now," he said. "We're not playing as well as we are capable of.
Instead he has a list of individual traits that in turn will lead to team success.
Center Adam Holtorf still wants to project an identity, or personality, and not just to say that the team has one.
"Inwardly, toward the unit, to have that identity is something you can take pride in as well," he said. "You can take pride in that ability to run the ball or pass the ball, whatever that identity might be.
"Identity means consistency. That's who you are," he said. "We're not someone yet, why? Because we're inconsistent.

Counterfeit bearings with a market value of approximately EUR 1 000 000 were destroyed in Greece, following the successful completion of legal proceedings commenced in 2009.
Gothenburg, Sweden, 1 February, 2017: SKF has recently completed legal proceedings against a dealer of counterfeit bearings in Greece. Initiated in 2009, a total of 15 tons of counterfeit SKF bearings were seized as part of a raid at a dealer's warehouse in the area of Piraeus, with whom SKF had no business relationship during these years. The bearings have now officially been declared counterfeit by the Greek courts system, resulting in their destruction.
The raid in 2009 resulted in the seizure of 17,000 pieces of counterfeit rolling bearings, with a total weight of 15 tons and a market value of over EUR 1,000,000 These have now been destroyed at a metal recycling facility in Greece, by crushing them in a scrap press, to ensure they will not resurface on the market.
A wide range of companies from the marine and other industrial sectors were affected by the counterfeit SKF bearings sold by this non-authorized dealer in the Piraeus area. Instead of getting the premium quality product they thought they were purchasing, the customers ended up with products of unpredictable quality and performance.
"We are very happy that this case is officially closed and has resulted in a positive outcome for SKF and our customers. We will continue to fight the problem of counterfeit products and importers in Greece. This is vital for us in order to protect our customers and their business as well as the reputation of the SKF brand", says Rania Patsiopoulos, Managing Director, SKF Hellas S.A.
SKF actively supports law enforcement globally to stop the trade of counterfeit SKF products. This trade is illegal and may lead to substantial fines or imprisonment.
"Counterfeit industrial products like bearings are not bought intentionally by customers, so the best way to fight counterfeit is to raise awareness. Customers who accidentally purchase counterfeit products are being cheated financially and risk damage to their machinery and expensive downtime", says, Tina Åström, Director, SKF Group Brand Protection.
The financial damage resulting from the counterfeit products is difficult to quantify. Lost sales and significant loss of image are definitely some of the consequences. Dealers that sell counterfeit products risk both financial damage as well as their credibility and reputation.
SKF urges its customers to carefully select their supplier of SKF products. The best way to safeguard authenticity is sourcing through distributors authorized by SKF.
SKF is a leading global supplier of bearings, seals, mechatronics, lubrication systems, and services which include technical support, maintenance and reliability services, engineering consulting and training. SKF is represented in more than 130 countries and has around 17,000 distributor locations worldwide. Annual sales in 2015 were SEK 75 997 million and the number of employees was 46 635.
