Anesthesiology is a stressful medical profession. While anesthesia in particular has become safer for the patient in the last decades, anesthesiology as a profession represents a medical field in which the professionals are permanently tense. The various reasons for this situation include the fact that anesthesiology is a team profession that requires perfect cooperation with other specialists. It also entails great responsibility for the patient's life, the daily use of "blind" invasive techniques, and last but not least the production pressure that characterizes the activity in the operating room. There are various methods to quantify professional stress and this article emphasizes the place of measurement of salivary cortisol in order to identify those stressful moments that are part of the anesthesiologist's routine activity, in addition to those individuals who are more prone to develop negative aspects of stress. It seems that there is a strong correlation between the high level of salivary cortisol and stressful events during patient management and also a correlation between this level and a high score of implicit job-stress. This reality created the need to look for remedies; some authors recommend a long list of measures to be taken in order to prevent or reduce the magnitude of professional stress. This list includes a continuous self-care attitude, consisting of having a balanced professional and personal life; adequate sleep; avoiding drugs, obesity, and "workaholic" behavior; as well as better use of leisure. Finally, more studies are needed to find out which preventive means may potentially reduce the risk of professional stress among anesthesiologists.

Q: Insert R visNetwork HTML from RMarkdown into SharePoint? I used RMarkdown to create an HTML file that contains an interactive visNetwork chart. When I open the .HTML file into Chrome, I have the expected chart interactivity (node selection, mouseover, drag..). However, when I upload the .HTML file into a company-internal SharePoint site, the visNetwork chart is not displayed.
Is there a way to insert this HTML into a SharePoint template page that is part of the site while maintaining chart interactivty? PDF or MS-Word format is not desirable and porting it over to RShiny is also not practical at this time.
We are not permitted to link from SharePoint to an external file (for example, I cannot load the file onto GitHub pages or other external site and provide a URL on the SharePoint page) due to confidential content. I can't even link to a non-SharePoint server on the company network - the content must be part of the SharePoint site itself. Ideally I want to upload the file without modification because this chart and ones similar to it will be updated on a regular basis.
Here is example .Rmd that can be knit to HTML.
---
title: "Test visNetwork Embed"
output: html_document
---

```{r setup, include=FALSE}
knitr::opts_chunk$set(echo = TRUE)
library(visNetwork)
```
# Description
A simple visNetwork rendered to HTML from .Rmd file

```{r visnetwork, echo=FALSE}
nodes <- data.frame(id = c("A", "B", "C", "D" ))
edges <- data.frame(from = c("A", "A", "C", "D" ),
                    to   = c("B", "C", "D", "" ))

visNetwork(nodes, edges) %>%
  visOptions(
    highlightNearest = list( enabled = TRUE,
                             hover   = TRUE),
    nodesIdSelection = TRUE )

```

Cheers!

A: Proposed solution - tested in same tenant as Tim:

*

*Rename the extension HTML into ASPX

*Upload the file in the SharePoint document library (or in the Pages
library with SharePoint Designer)

*Click on the file & check rendering is working as expected

*Copy the URL to the file

*Create a new page
with a page viewer web part &  use the URL to the doc copied previously as source

Gross but true, dead skin build up on your face not only ages you but it also clogs your pores. Seriously. While a basic scrub can get the job done, for me I find them to be too irritating and can cause more harm than good. I really like this scrub by MyChelle, not only is it super gentle using Jojoba Beads and refined Bamboo Stem Powder for exfoliation but it also has fruit enzymes to dissolve away the rest of that nasty skin dullifying, pore clogging residue.
I've been using this scrub once or twice a week for the past couple of weeks and my skin really loves it. Not only is my skin much clearer, but its more even and super glow-y. It helps my make-up go on much smoother and I'm convinced it allows my moisturizer and serum to absorb more easily, leading to generally a much better clear skin situation.
I've tried some Mychelle products, would be interested in trying this one! Sounds pretty nice.
It's great and really not harsh. I really love all of their products- they work SI well!

Blogs/MT Insurance Law Blog/Superior Court of Quebec dismisses authorization to institute a class action pursuant to the dispute resolution provision of insurance policy
Superior Court of Quebec dismisses authorization to institute a class action pursuant to the dispute resolution provision of insurance policy
January 29, 2021 | Nicolas Sacha Nesviginsky
The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in litigation, particularly in the context of class actions. In 2020, applications for authorization to commence class actions have been made notably against nursing homes,1 insurers2 and airline companies.3
In 9369-1426 Québec inc. (Restaurant Bâton Rouge),4 the respondent, Allianz Global Risks US Insurance Company ("Allianz"), asked that the Superior Court of Quebec decline jurisdiction in favour of mediation and arbitration proceedings, the whole in accordance with the policy.
The petitioner, Bâton Rouge, sought to institute a class action to be indemnified by Allianz on the grounds of business interruption losses which it and the class members would have sustained due to the COVID-19 health crisis. This resulted in a shutdown of economic activities in the province of Quebec. However, Allianz denied coverage on the grounds that the policy did not cover such loss. Furthermore, the latter submitted that the parties were bound by the dispute resolution terms stipulated in the policy which prohibited Bâton Rouge from commencing a class action in the Superior Court of Quebec.
Should the Superior Court of Quebec decline to hear the matter and, instead, refer it to a mediator and arbitrator appointed in accordance with the dispute resolution process stipulated in the applicable insurance policy?
The Superior Court, per the Honourable Gary D.D. Morrison, J.S.C., concluded that it should decline to hear this matter pursuant to the policy's provisions. While the latter provided certain terms regarding the jurisdiction and the commencement of proceedings, in the case of insureds located in Quebec, the Provincial Statutory Conditions Applicable to the Province of Quebec only clause was applicable:
5. Dispute Resolution
In the event that the Insurer and the Insured(s) cannot agree concerning either the coverage or the quantum afforded by this Policy, it is agreed that the dispute shall be resolved in accordance with the dispute resolution process hereinafter described:
a. Mediation with a Mediator mutually agreed by the parties to the dispute. If the parties fail to concur on the choice of the Mediator, a Court shall appoint a Mediator on a Motion by one of the parties.
b. If settlement at Mediation is not possible, the dispute will be referred to Arbitration in accordance with the applicable Arbitration legislation/regulations in the jurisdiction in which the Policy is issued. The decision of the Arbitrator will be binding on all parties to the dispute with no right of appeal.
c. Each party shall bear its own costs and expenses in connection with the dispute resolution process. The costs and expenses of Mediation and Arbitration shall be shared equally by the parties to the dispute. By agreement in writing, the Insurer and the Insured(s) may waive compliance with this section or any part thereof for purposes of a specified dispute.
In light of the above, and pursuant to the rules provided in the Civil Code of Quebec,5 Courts are to abide by the contract's terms. The fact that the dispute concerned the interpretation of an insurance policy did not prevent it from being submitted to arbitration.6 In the case that parties are bound by an arbitration clause, Courts are to defer said dispute to arbitration, unless there is evidence that the arbitration agreement is null.7 The Honourable Gary D.D. Morrison concluded that "on its face, [the wording of the dispute resolution clause] is a mandatory, clear, unambiguous, final and binding arbitration clause."8 Furthermore, contrary to Bâton Rouge's submission, the other clauses in the policy did not create any confusion as to its validity and enforcement.
The Superior Court also dismissed Bâton Rouge's argument as to the scope of the Policy Jurisdiction clause. The latter stipulated that "The Courts in the Court District in which the Named Insured is located shall have exclusive jurisdiction in case of a coverage dispute." The Court concluded that this provision did not concern subject-matter jurisdiction, but rather territorial jurisdiction. As such, it did not create any conflict with the other provisions of the policy.
The dispute resolution clause, which was not illegal or contrary to public order, therefore limited any type of action before the courts. In addition, the Court addressed the validity of a dispute resolution clause considering the petitioner's application to commence a class action:
"[42] The fact that the initial introductive application is one that seeks authorization to institute a class action is of no substantive relevance.
[43] The class action provisions contained in the Code of Civil Procedure are merely of a procedural nature. They do not modify substantive law. Nor do they create competence for the Superior Court over certain disputes where the parties have lawfully decided to exclude it."9
According to the Court, the nature of the claim was not outside of the mediator or arbitrator's jurisdiction. Indeed, contrary to Bâton Rouge's submission that Allianz's denial of coverage constituted an abuse of right, the Court concluded that this was insufficient to invalidate the dispute resolution clause.
Bâton Rouge contended that, in the event the Court granted Allianz's motion, the result would be that each insured would have to abide the dispute resolution process provided in the policy. However, this would discourage them given the length and costs involved. The Court stated that it "will not comment on all possible outcomes, however, the equity argument raised by Bâton Rouge is insufficient to overcome what is a valid dispute resolution process. In fact, Bâton Rouge does not actually plead that it is invalid per se. [Furthermore…], competence is a matter of public order. It is not a matter of equity."10
Should the Court immediately determine the competence of a mediator and arbitrator to act in the matter of Bâton Rouge's personal claim?
The Court concluded that it is within its jurisdiction to determine this issue.
In general, pursuant to the principle of competence-competence, Courts will let arbitrators determine the issue of jurisdiction. However, "where the matter of jurisdiction is one of law or mixed fact and law, the court can, when possible on summary and superficial examination, immediately decide jurisdiction, and this in respect of the principle of proportionality."11
In this instance, the Court was already seized of this issue given the declinatory exception submitted by Allianz. The Honourable Gary D.D. Morrison concluded that this solution was in conformity with the Code of Civil Procedure whereby a Court can intervene and determine the role of the mediator and the competence of the arbitrator. For this reason, the mediator and arbitrator were to be appointed in conformity with the dispute resolution clause provided in the policy.
In light of the above, the Superior Court of Quebec granted Allianz's motion and referred the parties to a mediator and arbitrator in accordance with the dispute resolution process stipulated in the policy. The application for authorization to institute a class action was therefore dismissed.
In this case, the Superior Court concluded that in the presence of an arbitration clause, Courts are to decline jurisdiction. The takeaway here is that the fact that a party wishes to commence a class action is irrelevant when dealing with an arbitration clause. Indeed, class actions are a procedural vehicle which do not impact substantive law. In addition, insurance disputes regarding the interpretation of a policy may be submitted to arbitration.
In its decision, the Superior Court dismissed the petitioner's argument that the length and costs involved in mediation/arbitration proceedings would discourage insureds from exercising their rights. While the Court ultimately dismissed Bâton Rouge's argument, which was predicated upon equity, it stated that it would not comment on all possible outcomes. Arbitration clauses are to be enforced. However, it will be interesting to see if parties will attempt to set them aside by invoking principles of accessibility to justice.

Sometimes your purse can be the focal point of your outfit. It's fun way to play around with your outfit and a great way to make a statement at the same time. This year, there have been so many new trends that have never been seen before and some are so cute! Here are my top three favorite trends that will last you throughout summertime.
There are TONS of straw bags everywhere on the internet. The round circular one is one of my personal favorites, and looks good with just about anything. The basket shaped bag has also been a huge one this season, and it might even carry over into the next few seasons. There are so many, its almost endless. What makes these a great option for the summer is that they would be great beach bags as well! The straw material just gives off super summery vibes.
This is one that is totally unexpected, but so freaking cute! It's almost like a straw bag, but completely beaded. With so many color combination options, you're bound to find one that suits your own personal style. What I really enjoy about these bags is that they can be be super summery and remind you of having a picnic, but they can also be really edgy depending on the colors that are used.
I'm not sure how I feel about this one, but I know many people are a fan of it. The fact that someone can see what you have inside of your purse makes me a little nervous. Although I have seen a lot of people put their belongings in smaller bags, and then put those into their clear bag. If you decide to try this purse out, I recommend hiding the items in your purse in something else, you can never be too careful! Putting all of my irrational fears aside, I do think the clear bag is a look. I feel like it will look great with any outfit, being that there is no color, it could become your go to piece.

El ejido de San Pedro Huitzquilico, se encuentra situado al sureste de la Huasteca Potosina al pie de la Sierra Madre Occidental, este ejido es una comunidad indígena náhuatl, la cual está situada 15 kilómetros al norte de la cabecera municipal de Xilitla,  en el Estado de San Luis Potosí.

El ejido de San Pedro Huitzquilico, consta de once barrios, los cuales son: la Escuela Centro, Agua de Cuayo, Agua Fierro, Cerro Quemado, Joya del Agua, La Ceiba, La Cueva, La laguna, La Palma, Quirambaro, San José y San Pedro Huitzquilico, en todas el porcentaje de población hablante de lengua Náhuatl rebasa el 90%.

El nombre lo adquiere como consecuencia de la llegada de misioneros católicos que traían cargando una caja de madera sobre la cual se postraba una imagen llamada "San Pedro Apóstol", con la cual andaban de casa en casa con música de chirimilla y tambor de madera recaudando fondos. Posteriormente se añadió al nombre la palabra "Huitzquilico", que tiene su significado en lengua náhuatl de: Huitz, flores y quilico, quelites, es decir, lugar de las flores y quelites.

Plain Speaking: The Poetry of Ted Kooser
by Lee Gurga
Ted Kooser's poems are full of people, but they are not the sort of people we ordinarily meet in poems. First, the people in Kooser's poems are not Ted Kooser. The poet's characters are also not the people most of us meet in our daily lives. They are the ordinary and extraordinary people of rural America. Real people. Farmers with smelly feet. Greedy relatives. Old men with hands molded to the curves of ash tool handles. Husbands and wives who have lost their individual symmetry by sharing the same narrow bed for fifty years.
Ted Kooser was born in Iowa in 1939 and has lived his whole life in Iowa and Nebraska. His life has coincided with the rapid destruction of much of America's rural culture, a process for which Wendell Berry coined the term "the unsettling of America." And unsettling it is, both literally and figuratively. The rural landscape is littered with things that have not disappeared even though they have become useless—including the people. The rural culture that sustained America for almost two centuries is becoming little more than a subject of minor interest to anthropologists and hobbyists. Kooser has helped to keep the memory of this culture alive by preserving the most important part of it—not the cultural artifacts such as Shaker chairs and horse-drawn plows, but the people who made these objects for real use.
The characters of Kooser's poems are at the same time unique to the landscape they inhabit and universal in their humanity. They are members of a class of which the majority of Americans have little understanding. As Michael Lind pointed out in The Hudson Review (LII:1), the media has neglected entire classes of people, "in particular the white working class and the white rural poor, about whom the media elite has derived most of its scant knowledge from Deliverance and The Beverly Hillbillies." These are the folks Kooser presents to us with sympathy, humor, and insight. His poems, however, are not mere exercises in nostalgia. Each figure is the starting point for a meditation on life. Grounded in the particular, Kooser uses his poems to explore our common heritage of hopes, fears, and denials.
Kooser has been called the master of the short metaphorical poem. An excellent summary of Kooser's career and poetics ("The Anonymity of the Regional Poet") appears in Dana Gioia's Can Poetry Matter? (Graywolf Press, 1992). Gioia explains how Kooser's decision to remain in the Midwest has resulted in a limited audience for his work, but Gioia concludes by observing that Kooser "has written more perfect poems than any poet of his generation."
Most of Kooser's poems are short, but not because of any conscious intent to limit their length. Kooser told me of the process that shapes his poems: "Because I frequently write a poem based upon a single figure of speech, expanding that figure to what I consider to be its maximum extension, the length of the poem is determined by what volume and weight I think that metaphor can carry. . . . I would never decide in advance that a poem be short, or long, or of any other shape or limit. All that gets determined in the writing." As Gioia points out, the fact that Kooser has produced mostly shorter forms can be interpreted negatively as a lack of range. But if one is good at something, is it a flaw not to be able to do something else? Even Michael Jordan was never promoted from the roster of the Birmingham Barons.
Robert Bly has observed that "the [typical] American poet sitting at his desk writes a fine, intense poem of seven or eight lines, then . . . hastily adds fifteen lines, telling us what the emotion means, relating it to philosophy, and adding a few moral comments." Kooser has for the most part avoided this pitfall and the result is a life's work of fine short poems.
Gioia points out that Kooser seems to feel a need for a special relationship with his readers. In a recent essay in the Midwest Quarterly, Kooser tells us how he approaches his reader:
It's never made much sense to me to set poetry apart from its social context, so when I'm writing a poem I try to behave just as most people would if they were meeting somebody for the first time. Every stranger's tolerance for poetry is compromised by much more important demands on his or her time. Therefore, I try to honor my reader's patience and generosity by presenting what I have to say as clearly and succinctly as possible. I try to avoid peculiarities of usage, grammar or punctuation that merely call attention to themselves; reading a poem should be like passing through the printed words into a state beyond the page; no reader should be asked to pull back from this state to puzzle over the surface. This also holds for form or shape; I try to keep the poem's form as unobtrusive as possible. Form that calls attention to itself draws the reader's attention back to the surface of the page and away from the poem beyond it. Also, I try not to insult the reader's good sense by talking down; I don't see anything to gain by alluding to intellectual experiences that the reader may not have had. I do what I can to avoid being rude or offensive. . . . Being harangued by a poet rarely endears a reader. I am also extremely wary of over-cleverness; there is a definite limit to how much intellectual showing off a stranger can tolerate. Finally, displaying a little personal charm is every bit as helpful in engaging a reader as it would be in any social situation.
The way Kooser respects his audience also shows in the way he respects his subjects. The characters we see in his poems are drawn precisely, and they are allowed to speak for themselves. In the following selections you can see rural America and, by extension, Kooser himself. So please read on and meet Ted Kooser. You'll be glad you stopped by.

Roman Polanski Arrested, Fighting Extradition
James Joyner · Monday, September 28, 2009 · 16 comments
Roman Polanski, who fled the United States in 1977 after conviction for raping a 13-year-old, has been arrested in Switzerland and is fighting extradition to Los Angeles.
Polanski, who fled the United States in 1978, was detained Saturday after arriving to receive a lifetime achievement award at the Zurich Film Festival. It was not clear why U.S. authorities had chosen this moment to act on Polanski, 76, a regular visitor to Switzerland with a house here.
"We are going to demand his release and we are going to defend ourselves against the reasons for the extradition procedure," Herve Temime, Polanski's lawyer, told French daily Le Figaro. "It seems indefensible that 30 years after the fact a 76-year-old man who has shown no evidence of any danger to society and whose reputation … is well established, can spend a single day in prison," Temime said.
It's hardly unusual that someone convicted of a felony who fled the country to avoid punishment would be sought after. But, oddly, this sentiment is shared by WaPo columnist Anne Applebaum, who terms the arrest "outrageous."
Here are some of the facts: Polanski's crime — statutory rape of a 13-year-old girl — was committed in 1977. The girl, now 45, has said more than once that she forgives him, that she can live with the memory, that she does not want him to be put back in court or in jail, and that a new trial will hurt her husband and children. There is evidence of judicial misconduct in the original trial. There is evidence that Polanski did not know her real age. Polanski, who panicked and fled the U.S. during that trial, has been pursued by this case for 30 years, during which time he has never returned to America, has never returned to the United Kingdom., has avoided many other countries, and has never been convicted of anything else. He did commit a crime, but he has paid for the crime in many, many ways: In notoriety, in lawyers' fees, in professional stigma. He could not return to Los Angeles to receive his recent Oscar. He cannot visit Hollywood to direct or cast a film.
He can be blamed, it is true, for his original, panicky decision to flee. But for this decision I see mitigating circumstances, not least an understandable fear of irrational punishment. Polanski's mother died in Auschwitz. His father survived Mauthausen. He himself survived the Krakow ghetto, and later emigrated from communist Poland. His pregnant wife, Sharon Tate, was murdered in 1969 by the followers of Charles Manson, though for a time Polanski himself was a suspect.
Rape isn't a tort; it's a felony. So whether the victim wishes to press charges is irrelevant except as to the practicalities of securing a conviction, which isn't a problem in this case since Polanski pled guilty.
Patrick Frey, an assistant district attorney in LA whose office is seeking Polanski's extradition, notes that Polanski "pled guilty to unlawful sex with a minor, in return for the agreement to dismiss several other charges, including rape and sodomy." He and a co-blogger remind us of the graphic details of the case, which belie the notion that Polanski is some sort of victim. Let's just say that the girl in question was drugged and the encounter was otherwise decidedly less than romantic. See also the victim's grand jury testimony, which makes clear the sex was forcible and that, even drugged with alcohol and Quaaludes, she explicitly denied consent. Which, of course, a 13-year-old can not give under the law. (In a separate post, Frey notes that Applebaum's husband is Poland's foreign minister, who is lobbying for Polanski's release.)
Oddly, Applebaum's view on this matter is hardly unique. He's being portrayed as a hapless victim and a harmless 76-year-old being hounded for no particular reason. And, while I'm generally dubious of putting old men in jail for crimes they committed decades earlier and have shown no propensity to commit again, I'm rather loathe to reward confessed child molesters for fleeing the country. (Kieran Healy, generally to my left politically, also sneers at Polanski defenders: "Puritanical Americans simply do not have the enlightened attitude toward wine at the dinner table, quaaludes, and child rape that the Europeans do.")
Oh, as to the horrible price he's paid in "professional stigma,"as Applebaum's own post notes, he was in Switzerland to pick up a lifetime achievement award and had recently won the Academy Award, the highest honor in his industry. He's received countless other accolades and has, one presumed, earned millions and lived a life of high luxury. So, I'm hard pressed to feel sympathy for his three decades of suffering. Certainly not on the basis of having to avoid countries with extradition treaties to the United States, which would be akin to sympathizing with the murderer of his parents on the grounds he's an orphan.
UPDATE: Alex Knapp points me to this quote from Kate Harding, which rather well encapsulates my thoughts:
The point is not to keep 76-year-old Polanski off the streets or help his victim feel safe. The point is that drugging and raping a child, then leaving the country before you can be sentenced for it, is behavior our society should not — and at least in theory, does not — tolerate, no matter how famous, wealthy or well-connected you are, no matter how old you were when you finally got caught, no matter what your victim says about it now, no matter how mature she looked at 13, no matter how pushy her mother was, and no matter how many really swell movies you've made.
UPDATE: David Gibson, bemused that so many in Europe and the Hollywood community share Applebaum's view, wonders what the reaction would be were Polanski a Catholic priest rather than a filmmaker.
But what if Roman Polanksi were wearing a Roman collar? Would "Monsignor Polanksi" receive the same considerations? As Father Thomas Reese, a Jesuit, writes at the Post's "On Faith" site, "Imagine if the Knights of Columbus decided to give an award to a pedophile priest who had fled the country to avoid prison. The outcry would be universal." And rightly so, as Reese says. But Polanski gets an Oscar in absentia in 2003 and earns sympathy because he can't receive it in person.

I have no sympathy for Polanski. He copped a guilty plea and skipped the country when he realized the judge was going to throw the book at him. That fact that his mother was killed in the concentration camp and all that other stuff is irrelevant. I heard on the BBC this morning that French FM Bernard Kuchner saying this is unjust. What a load of crap. Just because Polanski is a gifted artist doesn' make him above the law. This is the type of celebrity double standard that really gets to me. If it were a regular joe they wouldn't have batted an eye. Polanski is lucky he's lived the last 30 years in comfort instead of the state pen. Don't do the crime if you can't do the time.
William d'Inger says:
This arrest is long overdue. No matter what the eventual outcome may be, it's best to have the case run its course through the criminal justice system. Personally, I hope they throw the book at the guy. But if not, I'll be satisfied by the simple fact that the system worked as intended.
JKB says:
It is quite interesting to see how fast and vociferously Hollywood and the media come to support child rapists, as long as they are famous or some might say notorious. Michael Jackson, Roman Polanski; perhaps someone should look into whether there is an increase in child rapes during the Cannes Film Festival? Of course, these are only the ones we know about and the ones who couldn't limit themselves to seducing 16-yr old wanna-be actors.
…these are only the ones we know about and the ones who couldn't limit themselves to seducing 16-yr old wanna-be actors.
We may also want to look at house pages and the bathrooms of major airports.

PD Shaw says:
Appelebaum's case for the defense starts with it's strongest point, the victim's forgiveness, and then just steadily goes down hill from there.
First, the statements that begin "there is evidence" are simply unproven allegations that have not held up in court or would not.
Second, the notion of already being punished "[i]n notoriety, in lawyers' fees, in professional stigma" is to laud the special punishments of the rich and famous. She's essentially arguing celebrities need not spend time in jail because important people have their own special punishments in Courtroom C, ordinary people need not apply.
Finally, the stuff about concentration camps is just, plain creepy. It feeds into anti-semitic stereotypes and makes me think of all the trouble Israel has had over the years obtaining extradition of the people running those camps.
In any event, I do hope the prosecutors honor the victim's desire for privacy by not re-opening the case. Polanski didn't honor his side of the plea agreement, but that doesn't mean the prosecutors shouldn't.
I don't get it, either. I think most people would agree (and his victim certainly does; she explicitly said so) that Polanski should have served a sentence starting some 30 years ago.
Well that ship has sailed. Next best thing: have him serve a sentence starting now.
BTW, I have no problem with him getting awards for good movies. His life is complicated, from his dreadful childhood through the acclaimed movie, "The Pianist". There can be a mistake made in the middle of it for which he still owes debt.
Personally I think it is great that the victim has gotten past what happened, but the lesson learned here shouldn't be-plead guilty, flee, and just wait until you are old so you won't get punished and your victim moves on.
The man committed a crime-a pretty horrible crime-and fled to avoid the punishment after he pled guilty to a lesser charge. He admitted guilt, he shouldn't get to avoid the punishment because he was wealthy enough to flee and get old. I personally don't care if he dies in prison-but that's where he should go.

Does anyone here know what the alleged prosecutorial misconduct involved and what effect that might have if Polanski is extradited?
Does anyone know what the age of consent in CA was when the incident took place? Was it already 18? or was it 16 or even 14 as it was in a number of states at that time?
Irrelevant. This was forcible rape and sodomy, not statutory rape where "consent" was given by a minor.

I don't think anyone wants to work on any joe schmo's car just because he posted "Anyone Having an Install Day?". Best way is to make friends and plan one together and then post about it.

At 18 bars of pressure and with the added kick of the Barista Kit, the Nanopresso is capable of creating a powerful and flavorful enough shot for any cafe quality espresso drink.
We took the Nano with the Double Shot Adapter and Large Filter Basket (a must for creating a powerful and flavorful shot that will come through in a espresso drink) and had our buddies over at Loftea Cafe put it to the test.
After fine tuning the perfect grind of their extremely fresh and delicious beans, we had Barista George pump out a beautiful series of drinks - Latte, Red Velvet, and Cortado!
Now it can't be argued, a $12,000 180 lb commercial espresso machine is going to make a great cup. However, good luck fitting that into your pocket. With the Nano you can not only up your home barista game, but bring it with you far and wide.
Pro-tip - remember every bean will perform slightly different in the Nanopresso, and a little fine tuning is worth getting the perfect shot. We took 3 tries to dial in the right fineness of Loftea's beans. Too fine and the Nanopreso will be hard to pump with drips coming out, too coarse and the extraction will be more coffee like. Once we hit the perfect fineness we got perfect shots with a thick rich crema every time.

About the Jamek Mosque in Kuala Lumpur
The Jamek Mosque, or Sultan Abdul Samad Jamek Mosque, is the oldest major mosque in Kuala Lumpur opened in 1909. Until the opening of the Masjid Negara Malaysia in 1965, which is the Malaysian National Mosque in Kuala Lumpur, the Jamek Mosque was the major mosque in Kuala Lumpur. The location of the Jamek Mosque is significant in two respects. Firstly, it is located near to Merdeka Square which at the time was the centre of colonial government on the mainland of the Malay peninsula. Secondly, the mosque is located at confluence of the Gombak and Klang Rivers.
Jamek Mosque in Kuala Lumpur
The Jamek Mosque has an unusual design, distinctly unlike traditional South East Asian architecture, combining onion shaped domes typically associated with Moorish architecture and minarets reminiscent of those common in India's Mughal architecture, combined with a colouring scheme of alternating bands of white and red. The architect for the Jamek Mosque was an Englishman named Arthur Benison Hubback who was notable for designing a wide range of buildings in Malaysia. The style of architecture he used alternated between Edwardian Neo-Baroque, for example the train station and High Court buildings in Ipoh, and the 'Indo-Saracenic' architectural style widely used throughout Britain colonies in Asia in the design of public buildings. The mix of North African and Indian architecture is bizarre, but it is also beautiful and speaks volumes about Britain's aspirations to unify the colonies in its empire culturally as well politically taking the architectural style of one colony and introducing it into another.

Whether they like it or not, broadcast is handing off sports viewing to streaming services. Photo credit: The United States Air Force Academy.
When we look into the future, magic ball of sports viewing, what do we see?
Social media platforms (Facebook, Twitter) and streaming services (Netflix, Amazon) are rejoicing, while cable and broadcast channels like ESPN, FOX Sports and NBC are wallowing in their fallen greatness.
Streaming has changed the game in how viewers consume content. As of now, the effect has been minimal on sports viewing, as most fans prefer live coverage, but that is soon to change. Broadcast entities like NBC and CBS will now have to compete with a growing number of streaming services and social media platforms for sports rights. These are properties that broadcasters are ill-prepared to lose, as live sporting events offer the highest return on advertising. As simple economics teaches us, a rise in demand will raise the price. All sports leagues, conferences and organizations should benefit from the streaming development.
A great example is Amazon. Starting in week four of the NFL season, Amazon will stream Thursday Night Football after placing the winning bid for the rights in the offseason. The games will be available to Amazon Prime customers, but the NFL will maintain its "tri-cast" model by also disseminating the game on cable (NFL Network) and broadcast (NBC/CBS).
If you remember, Twitter carried ten Thursday night games last year at the price of $10 million – Amazon is paying five times that. In its bid to secure the rights this year, Amazon beat out YouTube and Facebook.
An increasingly common sight: streaming live sports. Photo Credit: Assistir TV Online.
Why is it important that the NFL opens is rights to other entities?
The National Football League is growing its bidding pool for TV rights, while continuing to service their large broadcast partners. Selling Thursday Night Football rights to Twitter last year and Amazon this year, at a relatively discounted rate, allows the new streamers to test out the feasibility of streaming sporting events. As millennials and Generation Xers continue to cord cut, the NFL is lining up its new potential partners ahead of the expiration of major rights deals like Monday Night Football (2021) and Sunday Night Football (2022). When these and other contracts expire, streamers could compete against a broadcast station for the sole rights.
ESPN has seen the sign and is moving on plans to acquire a larger stake in BAMTech; a streaming service designed and owned by Major League Baseball Advanced Media. The deal will establish ESPN's own streaming option, which is slated to include more than 10,000 live MLB, NHL and MLS games each year, separate from the games airing on their cable channels.
In a parallel development, social media platforms are sharpening their teeth for the opportunity to take a bite out of the juicy sports cash cow. Take Facebook, for instance, which has contracts to stream World Surfing League events and Major League Soccer matches. While providing quality content that promotes its Facebook Live services, the contract is an opportunity to smooth out rough spots in streaming live sport; a dry run if they hope to bid for major contracts like the NFL properties mentioned or other sports like Big Ten Football, Major League Baseball or NASCAR. Social media is slowly moving from lean-in and interact to sit back and watch platforms, as the parent companies are looking to condition consumers to rethink their platform experience.
For those in marketing and advertising, this latest development is worth monitoring. Amazon is reportedly shopping Thursday Night Football packages with 30-second commercial blocks for $2.8 million. There are great possibilities for brands to seamlessly link from the ad to Amazon to drive a purchase. There are similar opportunities for Facebook and YouTube to drive consumers straight to online purchases.
For now, Amazon, Netflix and BAMTech/ESPN are in the best position to pounce on a legitimate sports viewing rights contract (beyond a streaming-specific contract). However, I wouldn't be surprised if Facebook or YouTube takes a chance on a mid-major basketball rights deal or similar level deal in the near future. It's a matter of when, not if, a streaming service or social media platform will outbid for rights on sports properties.
We are only in the first quarter of the sports streaming trend. Is your company's advertising and sponsorship strategy ready for this game changing play?

What is SQL injection?

I need to know what is SQL injection and best way to keep secure our database from it.
What technique we should follow to prevention from SQL injection attack.

A: SQL Injection is when a user inputs a query with actual SQL code that is passed to the database engine in order to cause havoc and execute unintended queries (most maliciously DDL statements, like DROP TABLE)
The technique to prevent SQL Injection is to use parameterized queries.
insert into YourTable
values(@FirstVal, @SecondVal)

This is BAD!!!!
SqlCommand SqlInjectionCandidate = new SqlCommand(string.Empty, MySqlConn);
SqlInjectionCandidate.CommandText = @"
    insert into YourTable

The right way to do it

It's a quiet Thursday evening. It's nice to have those once in a while. Now, if it were an exciting TV night, I wouldn't be typing this. I've tried some interesting wines this week. The following wines are from Ontario, except for the last, with it being from Spain.
I've never heard of this winery before so I was curious. I was pleasantly surprised! The picture here is of the 2006 vintage. I tried the 2007. This is a small boutique winery called Oak Heights Estate Winery located in Northumberland County in Ontario (approx. 1 hour East of Toronto). This wine had subtle oak flavour and the fruit is actually sourced from the Niagara region. Interestingly enough, this winery uses Canadian oak only for their oak-aged wines. For the money, this is a nice wine.
I always enjoy the Gamay from Malivoire. The winemaker's name is Shiraz (yes, that's his real name). He's a nice guy (with good taste in music, well, likes my kind of music) and his wines are delicious. This Gamay won't disappoint. Serve it slightly chilled for maximum enjoyment. If I'm ever out on the town and see this wine on the menu, I order it.
A bit on the pricer side of the scale, this Chardonnay packs a big oak y punch. If you like your Chardonnays in a more California style, with big oak flavour, then you'll enjoy this wine.
Sorry for the small picture! This is one of the "Wines of the Month" at the LCBO. It comes from the Empordà region of Spain. This wine is a blend of 90% Grenache (Garnacha in Spanish), 5% Syrah and 5% Carignan (Carinena in Spanish). Aged in French oak for a year, this wine has good fruit and body with spicy flavours. It says in the tasting notes that the wine will still open up for another 2-3 years and drink well into 2020! Now that $20 will go a long way.
I try not to get hung up on scores because what may be one person's 90, may be another person's 80. I find myself sometimes saying "Wow, 90+...should be great", only to be disapointed because my palate is different than the person who scored the wine. We can all agree upon which wines have fault or which wines may have more fruit or even perhaps complexity but when it comes to something you like or don't like - each person is different. Things would get pretty boring if we all loved and disliked the same wines. Before getting caught up in the hype, try one bottle and see if you like it. If you have the chance to try before you buy (for example, Summerhill LCBO Tasting Tour), even better. That's my little rant for the evening. Time for Seinfeld.

Susie Lee is in the middle of her first solo museum exhibition, "Susie Lee: Of Breath and Rain,' at the Frye Museum in Seattle.
The exhibition is made up of two installations, Rain Shower, 2007, and Still Lives: Exposure, 2010. These signature works "utilize a range of time-based media to explore the extraordinary richness of our human existence," according to the Frye Museum.
Exhibit Curator Robin Held talked about Lee in an interview. "I often call her a new media sensualist because it isn't about the bells and the whistles and the brand new toys," Held said. "She sets something up where, often, the technology disappears so you can have an intimate experience with the work or we can have an intimate encounter within the work."
Lee's exhibit is receiving positive attention:
"I stood in front of Annie … for a few minutes, watching her sleep off the pain of dental surgery from the day before, and couldn't help feeling moved." Laura Dannen, Seattle Metropolitan
"Lee isn't easily labelled" Florangela Davila, KPLU.org
"The quiet, meditative quality of Lee's work enables an experience that is far more than purely visual." Seattlepi.com
Shortly after completing her Master of Fine Arts, University of Washington, Lee was recognized by the Seattle Weekly as the "2006 Emerging Artist of the Year" for the "intelligence, emotion and sensuality" of her video art. Following her first solo exhibition at Lawrimore Project in 2007, Lee was named "An Artist to Watch" by the national publication Artnews. Lee's work has been exhibited nationally, including at the Denver Art Museum, Denver, and Blanton Museum of Art, Austin, and internationally in Italy and at the Gallery Hyundai, Seoul, Korea. She was the winner of the 2010 Stranger Visual Art Genius Award for her work in sculpture, video, and performance. In 2011, the Portland Art Museum selected her as one of the recipients of the Northwest Contemporary Art Award.

unarmed (adj.)
c. 1300, "with armor removed," from un- (1) "not" + armed, or else past-participle adjective from unarm "strip of armor" (c. 1300), from un- (2) "opposite of" + arm (v.). Meaning "not fitted to attack, weaponless" is from late 14c.
Entries linking to unarmed
un- (1)
prefix of negation, Old English un-, from Proto-Germanic *un- (source also of Old Saxon, Old Frisian, Old High German, German un-, Gothic un-, Dutch on-), from PIE *n- (source of Sanskrit a-, an- "not," Greek a-, an-, Old Irish an-, Latin in-), combining form of PIE root *ne- "not." Often euphemistic (such as untruth for "lie").
The most prolific of English prefixes, freely and widely used in Old English, where it forms more than 1,000 compounds. It underwent a mass extinction in early Middle English, but emerged with renewed vigor 16c. to form compounds with native and imported words. It disputes with Latin-derived cognate in- (1) the right to form the negation of certain words (indigestable/undigestable, etc.), and though both might be deployed in cooperation to indicate shades of meaning (unfamous/infamous), typically they are not.
It also makes words from phrases (such as uncalled-for, c. 1600; undreamed-of, 1630s; uncome-at-able, 1690s; unputdownable, 1947, of a book; un-in-one-breath-utterable, Ben Jonson; etc., but the habit is not restricted to un-; such as put-up-able-with, 1812). As a prefix in telegramese to replace not and save the cost of a word, it is attested by 1936.
armed (adj.)
"equipped for battle," early 13c., past-participle adjective from arm (v.).

MAX jetliner grounding crisis pushes Boeing to biggest-ever loss
(Reuters) – Boeing Co (BA.N) posted its largest-ever quarterly loss on Wednesday, diving nearly $3 billion into the red as it wrestles with a longer-than-expected grounding of its best-selling 737 MAX.

The world's largest planemaker also reported a fresh delay on its 777X widebody program as engine problems pushed the first flight into 2020 and it warned of possible further delays.
Investors shrugged off the loss as Boeing announced heavy charges related to the MAX crisis last week, and shares fell barely 1 percent in early trading.
Chicago-based Boeing has been unable to deliver any 737 MAX aircraft since the single-aisle plane was grounded worldwide in March after two fatal crashes in Ethiopia and Indonesia killed 346 people in a span of five months.
The total cost so far of the 737 MAX crisis now exceeds $8 billion after Boeing disclosed a $4.9 billion charge last week that includes compensation the planemaker will have to pay airlines for the delayed deliveries.
The second-quarter loss was Boeing's biggest ever, according to company records. Click here to view an interactive graphic: tmsnrt.rs/2MaWqTt
Boeing has embarked on a campaign to restore faith in its most popular jet and has pledged to remove any risk by reprogramming the software pinpointed as a common factor in both crashes as it faces pressure to convince MAX operators and global regulators that the aircraft is safe to fly again.
"This is a defining moment for Boeing and we remain focused on our enduring values of safety, quality, and integrity in all that we do, as we work to safely return the 737 MAX to service," Boeing Chief Executive Dennis Muilenburg said on Wednesday.
Investors on a conference call later on Wednesday morning will be eager for information on how Boeing plans to increase production, repair its image with the flying public and stem its loses, as well as more details on General Electric Co (GE.N) engine delays on the 777X widebody program.
777X FIRST FLIGHT DELAYED
Boeing said its first flight of the 777X – the latest iteration of its popular long-range twin-aisle aircraft – is now delayed until early 2020 due to the engine problems announced last month, while its current plan for a first delivery to customers in late 2020 faced significant risk.
The 777-9, the larger of two new jets in the 777 family – was initially scheduled for first flight in the fourth quarter of 2018 with delivery to the first customer in the second quarter of 2020, according to a Boeing certification plan seen by Reuters.
The grounding of the 737 MAX has sent shockwaves through the industry and also pushed back the launch of a new Boeing aircraft, a twin-aisle jet for the middle of the market. That jetliner, known as NMA, is not just a crucial piece in Boeing's fight with archrival Airbus (AIR.PA) in the lucrative longer-haul market but also for the eventual development of a 737 replacement, industry sources have said.
Boeing said free cash flow fell to a negative $1.01 billion in the quarter, the first full quarter of operations since the MAX was banned commercially, though that was narrower than the negative $2.09 billion analysts had expected, according to IBES data from Refinitiv.
"Although the headline numbers for 2Q look pretty grim, they are not as bad as we had been forecasting," Vertical Research Partners analyst Robert Stallard said in a note. "So while the 777X news is a negative, Boeing's shares may go OK today – after all, it could have been worse."
Boeing reduced the number of single-aisle aircraft it produces monthly in the Seattle area from 52 to 42 after the second crash in Ethiopia while suspending deliveries of the aircraft to airlines, cutting off a key source of cash and hitting margins.
The lower rate means Boeing has to pay more for parts, which are priced according to the volume Boeing buys. Boeing said it was working toward building 57 of the 737s a month in 2020, and that airplanes produced during the grounding and included within inventory will be delivered over several quarters following return to service.
The company said it would issue a new 2019 outlook at a future date, as the current forecast, which was suspended in April following the two deadly crashes, does not reflect the recent charges.
Boeing's net loss for the first full quarter of operations since 737 MAX commercial flights were halted was $2.94 billion, compared with a profit of $2.20 billion, a year earlier.
Sales slipped 35% to $15.75 billion and also came in below the average estimate of $18.55 billion, according to Refinitiv data.
Global airlines have had to cancel thousands of flights and use spare aircraft to cover routes that were previously flown with the fuel-efficient MAX, eating into their profitability.
