Why Meghan Markle's First Royal Tour to Australia Is an Especially Big Deal
"The eyes of the world will be on her."

By Cady Drell
In the few months she's been a duchess, Meghan Markle has adapted (opens in new tab) to life as a royal like a duck to water. Even when she's reportedly found it "difficult to understand" (which, relatable), she still makes it look easy.
But her trip to Australia with Prince Harry this fall—their first overseas tour as a married couple—is going to present a whole different set of challenges, according to the Queen's former spokesperson, Dickie Arbiter. He told the Daily Mail, "With the Duchess of Sussex being from the US the concept of monarchy is a bit alien, so it's been a great learning curve she has taken in her stride and managed incredibly well." But when she and Harry go abroad to, among other things, attend the Invictus Games that he helped found in 2014, which start in Sydney on October 20.
According to Arbiter, the trip will be a "litmus test" for Meghan to see how well she's able to keep up with her royal duties. "She's a good communicator, she's good at talking to people but it will be a real baptism of fire," he says. "They will have a very demanding schedule and the Duchess will have to get used to local customs with the eyes of the world on her."
But while that sounds stressful, Arbiter was sure to add, "But no doubt she will come through with flying colors and they will show they will be a force of good for the Commonwealth and the Royal Family on the global stage."
Honestly, we think she's doing a pretty great job already.

A BETTER AUMSAI SANSTHAN TEMPLE FOR MORDIALLOC
Minister for Consumer Affairs Marlene Kairouz and member for Mordialloc Tim Richardson today announced that the AUMSAI Sansthan Temple in Mordialloc will receive $100,000 to upgrade their facilities under a re-elected Andrews Labor Government.
Today's announcement follows Labor's pledge to establish Victoria's first $3 million Indian Community Infrastructure Fund if re-elected, with all Indian temples and places of worship eligible for funding.
This investment goes towards upgrading the temple's facilities, enabling diverse communities in Melbourne's south east to access services, participate in activities and share their cultures with the wider community.
This commitment also recognises the many contributions of our Indian communities, with almost 170,000 Victorians born in India, making our state home to the largest India-born population in Australia.
This new investment builds on Labor's commitment to invest $14.5 million for land for an Indian aged care centre and $3 million to establish a Bollywood and Indian Cinema Attraction Fund.
Only Labor recognises the vast contribution of our proud Indian communities and only Labor is willing to make the investments that really matter.
Quotes attributable to Minister Consumer Affairs Marlene Kairouz
"Labor believes we are stronger for our diversity and we are willing to make the investments to back it up."
Quotes attributable to Member for Mordialloc Tim Richardson
"Our local AUMSAI Sansthan Temple told us how important better facilities were to continuing their good work. I'm proud to say, we've listened and we'll deliver."

Tucci Ivowi
CEO | Ghana Commodity Exchange
AfricaLive: What was your motivation to take up the position of CEO at the Ghana Commodity Exchange, and how does it align with the identity of the institution?
Tucci Ivowi: My transition into the company was made easy by my experience working for Nestle. Nestle is a fantastic company that I will always vouch for because of their stringent measures in assuring quality and sustainability. Being Ghanaian but brought up, educated and trained in the UK, I always retained an interest in Ghana and for many years have been keen to participate in the building of the Ghanaian economy. After a visit to Ghana in 2002 which exposed me to the positive developments taking place in the country, I was convinced to stay and contribute my quota.
I was part of the conversations being had by top government officials in line with the President's vision of setting up a commodities exchange. I was then formally consulted to help because of my background at Nestle, having worked in the coffee and cocoa markets. When the decision was made to establish a commodities exchange in 2018, I was ready to step in and play a role.
AfricaLive: What role does your institution play within Ghana and the rest of the region?
Tucci Ivowi: Like any Exchange, the Ghana Commodity Exchange (GCX) is a marketplace that brings buyers and sellers together to exchange goods. We decided to start with agricultural commodities, but we are not limited to just those. The decision was made in line with the government's immediate focus on agribusiness. There is a need for our country to realise its full agricultural potential before we can build a fully industrialised nation. We operate just like a stock exchange, except instead of stocks, we facilitate the trade of agricultural commodities via an electronic trading system. GCX has warehouses where commodities are stored before they are traded so that we can ensure high quality.
Our model protects against the effects of poor post-harvest management where crops deteriorate and end up losing the farmers a lot of money. Commodities are treated in our warehouses to reduce the chances of post-harvest losses. We have the commodities standardised into grades for buyers to choose from. Buyers are, therefore, very clear about the quality they are buying when they decide to go for a grade "1" or "4", for example. GCX also takes good care of sellers by guaranteeing payment. We have instituted a T plus one model of payment which ensures that sellers are paid within twenty-four hours after delivery.
We are advancing admirably for a relatively new organisation. We've engaged in creating awareness and educating people about the goods and services we offer. Though the pandemic has slowed down our activities, we are still making moves to establish ourselves in the market. We have received very positive feedback so far from smallholder farmers expressing their satisfaction with our services. The fact that we are regulated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) of Ghana also gives people a lot of confidence
AfricaLive: The launch of the African Continental Free Trade Area will be going ahead in early 2021, hopefully acting as a catalyst for driving Intra-African trade. What are your ambitions, both in the short term and long term, when it comes to trading internationally?
Tucci Ivowi: Our first focus is our regional neighbours. There is a lot of cross border trading already taking place on a very informal basis. Countries like Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger are trading with Ghana on commodities like maize. As much as we want to organise and structure the market for Ghana, we aim to do the same for these landlocked countries. We will then move to serve other countries within the wider sub-region. Talks are already underway with players in these other countries, and we have a few potential members from this group. For regional trade to work within our platform, we have to study each country's regulatory system and work on harmonisation.
We work to ensure that our standards meet what's required internationally and that the Ghana Standards Authority approves that standard. GCX is not limited to Africa; we have had some interest from Vietnam for cashew, that we appreciate. We certainly have a plan to attract those within the sub-region, the entire continent, and eventually the rest of the world. We created the system in modular fashion, starting with spot trading, with a plan to add forwards and then much later futures contracts.
AfricaLive: Within Ghana and West Africa, what do you consider to be the primary opportunities and threats facing your sector?
Tucci Ivowi: Launching a commodity exchange in Ghana essentially meant launching a system which had never existed before. Such a move would come with challenges anywhere in the world. There will be some who are resistant to change and don't see the need for such a platform. Regarding the sub-region, each country also has its own plans and ambitions. We can, however, benefit from the fact that West African countries are all firmly focused on improving their agricultural sectors.
The onus is on us as individual countries to form synergies that will see us achieve our individual and collective goals. The foreseeable problem amongst countries when it comes to proprietorship, is the need for ownership and self-preservation but that shouldn't deter us from the overall goal.
Perceptions are changing, new habits are forming, and people appreciate the role technology through the exchange is playing in agribusiness. Farmers are thrilled by the fast payments, and those who aren't comfortable using the technology (electronic trading system) are co-opting their children to be floor trading representatives for them. This is a clear example of attracting youth into agribusiness. Finally, opportunities exist for creating partnerships, but they must be constructed in a way that adds value to all parties involved.
AfricaLive: The exchange is clearly a bridge between the public sector and other stakeholders within the industry. How do you go about building trust and ensuring all participants are satisfied?
Tucci Ivowi: The Exchange plays the role of a central counterparty against risk. Any commodities stored in GCX warehouses are under insurance, and we also have performance bonds on the commodities. If there is any degradation in quality, the performance bonds will be drawn upon. This model ensures that no buyer gets quality that does not match what they ordered. Our model is one of inherent trust, and the fact that we are bound by rules guarded by the regulator offers adequate security to all involved. It's also encouraging to many that the government is heavily involved.
Though we started as an institution wholly owned by the government, there are plans to open ourselves up to private sector investment. The government has plans of funding the agency until we break even to ensure that the interests of smallholders are preserved. Our priority is social good first, and that should signal trust among all the actors and the general public.
AfricaLive: Having worked abroad for many years, what do you think Ghanaian businesses can learn from the UK and vice-versa?
Tucci Ivowi: There is a bit more time consciousness and ruthlessness abroad than here. It teaches you to have patience and an understanding of different cultures. There is a very admirable communal culture that here, others can learn from, and we can learn business ethics and time-consciousness from cultures abroad. It's about learning from others and applying what works in your system to strengthen yourself.
AfricaLive: What would be your message of confidence and outlook for the exchange in the next decade?
Tucci Ivowi: The exchange is a vehicle that seeks to promote and assist trade across the world. We've already been approached by international organisations that see our potential impact not only in Ghana but also in many other jurisdictions.

Murphy's Law states that if, while working on your car, you drop a tool, it will bounce, roll, or somehow find its way to the spot which is directly under the exact geographical center of the car.
What has this to do with public transport in Rome? Plenty, for Murphy's Law can be (and has been) extended to many other aspects of life. In this article I shall endeavor to extend it to public transport in Rome. Let us first consider the act of waiting for a bus. It can be observed that if you are at, say, Piazza Bainsizza in Prating waiting for, say, the 280, you will in fact see every other bus except the 280 pass by. To wit, you will see: the 224, 628, and (depending on the time of day) 186 buses pass by first. You will then observe, but not board, the 280 bus pass by, because it will be going in the opposite direction. Only after each of these conditions has been fulfilled will you finally see the long-expected (and by now profusely cursed at) 280. The exact line is irrelevant; if you had instead been waiting for the 224 bus, you would have seen the 186, 628, and 280 buses first instead.
Let us also consider the number of people waiting at a bus stop. Regardless of which particular bus they are waiting for, Murphy's Law states that the number of people waiting is directly proportional to the number of DEPOSITO (�depot�) or, less frequently, RIMESSA (DEPOSITO's little brother, �replacement�) buses that will pass by. These buses are ostensibly headed to the depot or to replace another bus, but I am not sure this would actually hold up to closer scrutiny. The important fact is that these buses are un-flag-downable, and that the more people waiting with you at the stop, the more of these buses you will see.
In addition to Murphy's Law, there is, of course, the law of averages. This law basically states that in the long run the bus you are waiting for does in fact pass as frequently as other buses. So what you will see is that every so often the 280 bus (if that is what you are waiting for) will be the first to appear, and within seconds of your arrival at the stop. It will, however, be jam-packed to capacity. Immediately behind it you will see a second, nearly empty, 280. When you try to flag down the second 280, the driver will smugly accelerate and overtake the first 280 (which is slowing down to the stop), on the assumption that since there's already a 280 just ahead of him, he doesn't need to bother stopping. You will then be forced to board, sardine- or fruit-preserve-style, the first 280, or wait for another one (see previous paragraph for expected wait time). Sometimes you will see not one but two empty 280s following on the heels of the first full one, and on the occasions that you succeed in flagging one of them down, the bus driver will give you an evil glare. Ingrate and knave that you are, you have delayed his cigarette break at the end of his route by an unconscionable fifteen to twenty seconds.
Let's turn now to the metro which is, to be honest, usually much more reliable than buses. We can however note some peculiarities in this aspect of public transport in Rome as well. The first is again in the waiting times. Often the electronic billboards over the platforms will light up with messages such as �PROSSIMO TRENO TRA 2 MINUTI.� �Great,� you might think. �Only 2 minutes to wait.� You might think that, but you would think wrongly. �2 MINUTI� does not actually mean 2 minutes; all that can be said with precision about it is that it is some unit of time longer than �1 MINUTO� and shorter than �3 MINUTI.� Conversion to a measurable amount of time is a tricky business. (I suspect there are some relativistic effects at work.) When trains do arrive you will usually observe the billboard to flash �TRENO PER ANAGNINA IN ARRIVO.� After waiting the advertised �2 MINUTI� you will be happy that your train is finally arriving. Your happiness might, unfortunately, be premature. This billboard doesn't necessarily mean that a train is now arriving at your particular station headed in your particular direction. It sometimes means merely that somewhere along your line, in your direction, a train is arriving; it won't necessarily be at your station. So you will sometimes observe the flashing message to cease without the arrival of any train. Another possibility is that of a ghost train. When the tunnels for the metro were dug thirty or forty years ago (the very first line opened in 1955), no doubt some ancient Roman graves were disturbed. The ghosts of those dead Romans might have been awakened, and they may then have built their own trains to travel the tracks at night. The conductor may possibly be a wrathful, maniacal Nero blasting through the tunnels, looking for traces of the city he burnt down and craves to bring under his heel again. Keep this in mind the next time you are at a station waiting alone late on a Saturday night and you see �TRENO PER BATTISTINI IN ARRIVO� flashing, followed by a distant mournful whistle, and then stopping without an actual train arriving.
Let me close with a few words on night buses. Like the metro, these do in fact tend to be more reliable than regular buses. Wait times might be longish; but empty streets mean fast travel times. It is actually possible to travel on the n1 from Anagnina to Lepanto or Ottaviano faster on a night bus than on the metro. The bus drivers drive with a vehemence that makes every seat, bar, and window on board rattle as though the bus were passing through a tornado. I once mentioned to an Italian friend that the night bus drivers always seem to be angry, and to drive angrily. �Yeah. It could be they are angry at their wives,� was his response. Or it could be, as I prefer to think, that they are possessed by the spirit of Nero, wrathful and maniacal, as he haunts the Eternal City, looking for another opportunity to impose his dominion upon it. Happy public transporting!

25+ Drone Terms
Drones are among the most popular new technologies on the market today. They have been used in a wide range of industries, from photography to home security. With so many drone terms out there, it's hard to know which ones you should be familiar with. In this post we will discuss some of the basic terms that are crucial for anyone who wants to learn more about drones and how they can be used.
Accelerometer: The accelerometer is a device that measures and reports the acceleration of an object. It does this by measuring in three dimensions, with respect to gravity, or g-force (Gs).
AGL: AGL stands for Above Ground Level which refers to how high up off the ground something is. This measurement can be taken on any terrain type including sea level, USGS topography, or a contour map.
Acro Mode: Acro mode (or acrobatics mode) is an advanced flying maneuver(s) that allows for free-spirited flight requiring skill and precision to control the drone while in motion. It's perfect for aerial photographers who want more creative shots than what traditional drones can offer.
Air Traffic Control: Air traffic controls refers to those people responsible with monitoring airspace activity so it remains safe and orderly by managing aircraft traffic at airports, heliports as well as other duties related to aviation safety including airworthiness of planes and helicopters.
Atti Mode : Atti mode stands for Attically Assisted Take Off which means you are using your own power (usually your arm) to lift the drone into the air.
Auto Leveling: Auto leveling is a function that allows for level flight in all directions, even when there are changes in elevation or wind movement. This feature helps pilots fly more accurately and safely without having to constantly make adjustments on their own behalf.
Bind-N-Fly (BNF): Bind-N-Fly (BNF) refers to drones that can be used with a controller but require additional parts before flight––such as an RC receiver, propellers and battery or their own remote control system in order for them to work properly. They're typically more affordable than preassembled options due to lower overhead costs because they can work without being attached directly to a transmitter while also having fewer components which makes troubleshooting issues less likely when compared with Ready-ToBefly drones like quadcopters or hexacopters.
BVLOS (Beyond Visual Line of Sight): BVLOS stands for Beyond Visual Line of Site which refers to drones that can be flown beyond what someone would normally expect through sight. With this comes additional safety considerations such as increased use of GPS navigation systems while flying within an area with other obstacles nearby including power lines and trees.
Center of Gravity: The center of gravity becomes important once you start purchasing new equipment, such as propellers, for your drone. You'll need to know the center of gravity so that you can ensure each component is properly balanced in order to maintain flight stability.
Commercial Drones: Commercial drones refers to those who are employed by an entity and have obtained a Remote Pilot Certificate from the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration). This certificate indicates they are qualified and able to fly these types of aircrafts legally while following all applicable rules and regulations mandated by federal law.
Controller: A controller consists of two parts – first there's the transmitter which is used like a joystick or gamepad; second, there's the receiver unit with a display screen where pilots view video feed coming from their cameras mounted on their drone.
Dronie: Dronie stands for Drone + Selfie. This term is used to describe the act of capturing a selfie with your drone and it's often done from above, looking down at you in an aerial view.
ESC (Electric Speed Control): ESCs are electronic speed controllers that can be installed on drones to help alleviate challenges related to windy conditions or other factors that might disrupt flight stability.
FOV (Field of View): Field of View refers to the amount of space that is visible in front of you as determined through a camera lens. This can be measured in degrees, millimeters or feet depending on your specifications and equipment.
Ground Station Controller: Ground station controllers refer to those who use their smartphones instead of a separate transmitter when using an FPV goggles headset because it offers more convenience by eliminating the need for a physical device during flight while also providing better visuals than what you might have otherwise experienced with just your eyes alone if not wearing them.
GPS: GPS refers to Global Positioning System and is a system of satellites that orbit Earth which can be used for tracking purposes in order for drones like quadcopters and hexacopters––among others––to know where exactly they are at any given moment so long as there's signal from those orbiting satellites overhead.
Gyroscope: Gyroscopes are mechanisms often used for stabilization purposes when flying drones which help pilots maintain their orientation during flight by using an rotating disc affecting its axis direction based on momentum changes. They work well with quadcopters due to its ability to fly in four directions at once without losing stability from windy conditions while hovering in place.
First Person View: First person view is a feature often found on FPV goggles that allows you see what your camera sees by attaching it to the front of your drone––either on top or beneath. FPV goggles are used for those who want to experience a first person view by wearing them but have issues with cameras that come built into drones like quadcopters and hexacopters due to how they're positioned in relation to where you might be sitting when using it.
Headless Mode: Headless mode refers to a function found on some multirotor UASs which allows pilots complete control over the direction of flight without having to worry about orientation as long as their antenna is pointed towards whatever direction they've entered in their controller settings. It's advantageous because pilots don't need an understanding of which way around each rotor is pointing, instead only needing knowledge of how different directions on the controller correspond to whether they're turning left, right or going forwards.
Hexacopter: Hexacopters refer to those who have six rotors attached and provide more power than standard multicopters because they use two separate motors per rotor instead of just one.
IP Rating: The IP rating system is used to assess how well a device or enclosure can be protected from intrusion by foreign objects and fluids––often environmental factors such as sand, dust, water and oil. Different ratings include IP65 (meaning it's safe from the effects of immersion in water), IP67 (safe against impact with solid bodies) and even higher levels like rain-resistant.
LiPo: LiPos are rechargeable batteries found in drones that can be either A123, lithium-polymer or Lithium ion which is why it's important to make sure you know what type your drone uses before buying additional ones for charging purposes because not all types are compatible with each other and will instead result in damage to your device if used improperly.
Part 107: The FAA has updated its requirements for those wanting to fly drones commercially. Part 107 is required in the United State when operating a drone for commercial purposes.
Quadcopter: Quadcopters refer to those who have four rotors attached which provide more stability than standard multicopters because they use two separate motors per rotor instead of just one. They're also advantageous when it comes to flying indoors due to their ability to hover above an area without drifting away or needing adjustments on a controller to prevent it from doing so.
Roll: Rolling refers to the UAS rotating 360 degrees on its own axis––typically around a single point like an axle––to provide pilots with a better view of whatever they're flying over.
RTF: Ready-To-Fly (RTF) refers to drones that have been pre-assembled and are ready for immediate flight after only requiring a few basics, such as charging the battery or installing propellers. They're typically very simple in terms of components which is why they can be one of the most affordable options available on the market today but potential drawbacks include increased risk when compared with building your own drone from scratch because troubleshooting problems will require professional assistance due to lack of knowledge about how each component works together.
UAS (Unmanned Aircraft System): UASs refer to those who fly without human interaction––typically by remote control via wireless communication between the user's transmitter and the drone.

Diefenbacher deed een stapje omhoog naar het Duitse Formule 3-kampioenschap in 2000. Dat jaar finishte hij als tiende, maar werd derde in 2001 en vierde in 2002.

In 2003 was Diefenbacher gecontracteerd door Seat Sport voor hun ETCC-avontuur. In 2003 versloeg hij teamgenoot Jordi Gené door als 15e te finishten en hij finishte als 11e in 2004, waarbij hij evenveel punten had als zijn nieuwe teamgenoot Rickard Rydell.

Diefenbacher was niet geselecteerd door Seat bij hun WTCC-avontuur in 2005. Hij ging naar het team RS Line om deel te nemen aan enkele ronden. Echter beleefde hij een zware crash tijdens zijn eerste race op het Circuit Magny-Cours waardoor hij de rest van het jaar aan de kant moest staan.

Diefenbacher keerde terug naar het racen in 2006 in de tweede race van de FIA GT voor het team Race Alliance, maar viel in de eerste ronde uit.

Roadways were the ties that bound ancient societies together, for they facilitated economic interaction, symbolized social and political ties, and reflected the worldviews of the people who constructed them. Archaeologists therefore have much to gain from the analysis of road systems created by past societies. This study begins with a discussion of geographical approaches used by archaeologists to examine prehistoric roadways, with a special emphasis on the utility of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in these analyses. The 1000-year-old roads of the Chaco Anasazi of the southwestern United States provide a case study illustrating how spatial analytical techniques for studying road networks strengthen our reconstructions of past regional behavior. Scholars debate the function of these Chacoan roadways, with some archaeologists claiming they facilitated exchange, others arguing that they served local social and political roles, and still other researchers contending that the roads were regional representations of Chacoan cosmology. To evaluate these hypotheses, results of a GIS-facilitated cost-path analysis are described. This analysis demonstrates that Chaco Anasazi roadways did not facilitate regional economic interactions, and that they instead reflected a concern with cosmology as well as local sociopolitical landscapes. The case study illustrates the importance of spatial analytical approaches for addressing archaeological problems.

Staphylococcus aureus: A Community Pathogen
Loren G. Miller, Sheldon L. Kaplan
Staphylococcus aureus is a common human pathogen. S aureus infections most commonly clinically manifest as skin infections. There has been much interest in S aureus infections in the community over the past decade because of the rise of community-associated methicillin-resistant S aureus (CA-MRSA) infections, which have emerged globally over a relatively short period of time. In contrast to health care-associated methicillin resistant S aureus (HA-MRSA), circulating strains of CA-MRSA have characteristic pathogenesis, strain characteristics, epidemiology, and clinical manifestations that are distinct from HA-MRSA. In fact, CA-MRSA probably behaves more like community-associated methicillin-sensitive S aureus (MSSA). This article reviews current knowledge of the epidemiology and clinical manifestations of community-associated S aureus and CA-MRSA infections.

Two actors from the Good Doctor contracted COVID-19
By Teilor Stoneon November 12, 2020 in Art
Freddie Highmore in The Good Doctor .
Share November 12, 2020 9:08 a.m. Share Two actors from The Good Doctor contract COVID-19 Victoria Ahearn The Canadian Press TORONTO – The Good Doctor ( The Good Doctor ) star Freddie Highmore says filming of the show is continues in Vancouver, despite being diagnosed with COVID-19 by two of his co-stars, Richard Schiff and Sheila Kelley.
Richard Schiff wrote on his verified Twitter account this week that he has the coronavirus, as does Sheila Kelley, who is his wife in life and on the show.
He said he tested positive on November 3 and that he and his wife had "the most bizarre week" of their lives.
The new season of the series takes the pandemic into account.
Sheila Kelley also mentioned her diagnosis on her verified Instagram account, noting that she and her husband are in quarantine at their Vancouver residence and that their symptoms "are changing dramatically every day and even every hour."
Sony Pictures Entertainment declined to comment on the diagnoses, but Freddie Highmore told The Canadian Press that filming is continuing for the show, which airs Mondays on ABC and CTV. The French version is presented on Tuesdays at TVA.
"We continue to shoot," the lead actor said in an interview on Wednesday.
"Of course, the most important thing is that we really hope Richard and Sheila get well quickly, and we all think of them."
Freddie Highmore stars as Dr. Shaun Murphy, a young surgeon with Autism and Scientist Syndrome.

Q: Get key from datalist in Form.Control I get from the API a json, with a list of each staff member:

const MOCK_STAFF = [{
    id: 1,
    name: "Jhon Doe",
    department: "HR"
}, {
    id: 2,
    name: "Jane Doe",
    department: "Research"
}, etc

Then they get mapped in a datalist <option>, inside a Form.Control component:
                    <Form.Group className="mb-3">
                        <Form.Label>Name</Form.Label>
                            <Form.Control
                            name='staffName'
                            value={0}
                            list="namesList"
                            onChange={(e) => onChangeHandler(e)}/>
                        <Form.Label>Department</Form.Label>
                            <Form.Control disabled
                            name=department
                            value={}
                            />

                        <datalist id="namesList">
                           {MOCK_DATA.map( (data) => (
                            <option key={data.id} value={data.department}>{data.name}</option>
                           ))}
                        </datalist>
                    </Form.Group>

sandbox link: https://codesandbox.io/s/modal-t59e7z?file=/src/App.tsx
I would like the onChange={(e) => onChangeHandler(e)} to get the data-value of <option key={data.id} on form submit, and to make the department Form.Control to reference the value of <option value={data.department} in the datalist.  The 'key' id must not show to the user, it is used as a primary key on the database.
I have tried:
function onChangeHandler(e:React.SyntheticEvent) {

    console.log(e.target.key);
}

but "property key does not exist on event.target".  Nor I can use document.getElementById(); with react.  How can I get the values 'key', 'value' and/or 'default-value` from a Form.Control with a datalist?
Thank you

A: I could not achieve this with data-list, but did so with react-select:
type StaffOption = {
    label: string, value: number

    id: 2,
    name: "Jane Doe",
    department: "Research"
}, {
    id: 3,
    name: "Elizabeth meyer",
    department: "Operations"
}]

type NameOption = {value: number, label: string, department: string}
type NameOptions = Array<NameOption>

function AddNewRowModal(props:AddNewRowProps) {
    const [selectedStaffID, setSelectedStaffID] = useState(0);

    function onChangeHandler(option: OnChangeValue<StaffOption, false>,
             actionMeta: ActionMeta<StaffOption>) {
        console.log(option);  //this returns all 3 values defined on type StaffOption
        if (option?.value !== undefined) {
            setSelectedStaffID(option.value!);
        }
    }

    function BuildOptions (data:any[]) {
        var options:NameOptions = []
        data.forEach(element => {
            options.push({
            value: element.id!,
            label: (element.name),
            department: element.department});
        });
        return options;
   var nameOptions = BuildOptions(MOCK_DATA);
    return (
        <Modal
            show={props.showModal}
            backdrop="static"
            keyboard={false}
            onHide={() => props.closeModal()} >
                <Modal.Header closeButton>
                    <Modal.Title>Add new Entry</Modal.Title>
                </Modal.Header>
                <Modal.Body>
                   <Select
                    options={nameOptions}
                    onChange={onChangeHandler} />
                </Modal.Body>
                <ModalFooter>
                    <Button variant='primary'>Create Entry</Button>
                    <Button variant='danger' onClick={() => props.closeModal()}>Cancel</Button>
                </ModalFooter>
            </Modal>
    );

Q: Output redirection, pipe and `` I am trying to pass result of which env to nano by this command nano < which env, but it seems, that I didn't understand the whole concept.
When I execute this I assume that: which env STDOUT will go to the nano STDIN. So this will equal to nano /some/path. But, apparently, I am wrong.
Also I tried which env | nano with same purpose, but output was:

Received SIGHUP or SIGTERM

Can somebody clarify this?

A: nano, like most text editors, expects a file name to edit as its command-line argument, not as standard input.
$ which env | nano    # pass as standard input, does not work
$ nano "$(which env)" # pass as command-line argument, works

So it's not working because that's not how nano expects to be used.
With some editors (apparently not your version of nano), you can use:
$ which env | some-other-editor -  # note hyphen as file name

to edit standard input as text (you'd be editing a document with the string "/usr/bin/env", not the program /usr/bin/env itself).
Also, if you want to change delimited names on standard input into arguments, xargs will do that for you.
PS: which doesn't always do what you want, consider command -v instead. For details, see
Why not use "which"? What to use then?


The initial steps of tuft-setting are the same as for burling: secure matching yarn and remove the damage pile yarns to create a bare area. Up coming apply a clear-drying, latex-based seam cement on the naked spot with an absorbent cotton swab. You will right now need a tuft-setting tool, when this is not available, a thin nail plate punch or a thin slash nail may be substituted. Placement a loop of the wool in one end of the clean area and insert the tool against the U-shaped underlying part portion of the loop. Travel this U-loop portion in the carpet backing with a incredibly light tap of a hammer against the top of the tool. Prevent a heavy blow, since this can easily force the pile tuft through the fabric. Even worse, a solid blow can distort the backing into an made bigger hole that would prevent the ordinary tension in the backing coming from holding the replaced wool in the carpet.

Specializing in guided fishing on Clearwater, Snake, Columbia and Grande Ronde rivers for Steelhead, Salmon, White Sturgeon and Small-mouth Bass.
October to December: Kings, Steelhead and Sturgeon on the Columbia, Snake and Clearwater rivers.
The Clearwater River is located in North Central Idaho, flowing westward from the Idaho-Montana border and joining the Snake River at Lewiston. True to its name, it is a pristine river unsoiled by pollution. Because of its preserved beauty and ideally remote characteristic, the river offers excellent opportunities in recreational activities from wilderness camping to canoeing and fishing.It is a vast river favored for spring salmon fishing. The steelhead, trout, bass, northern pike, walleye and arctic grayling are also popular catches when angling in this area. Angling is a method of fishing by hook and line.
Campbell's Pond- This pond offers a collection of trout, bass and sunfish in the spring and early summer.
Deer Creek Reservoir- Trout are plentiful in this lake in the spring, early summer and fall. It is a good place to fish throughout the year.
Fenn Pond- This pond is also stocked with trout in the spring and early summer.
Moose Creek Reservoir- Trout are also ample in this reservoir during the spring, early summer and fall. Bass, sunfish, crappie and the bullhead catfish are common catches throughout the year.
Spring Valley Reservoir- The reservoir is packed with trout in the spring, early summer and fall. Bass and sunfish are common throughout the year.
Red River Pond- The pond is stocked with trout in the spring and early summer.
Winchester Lake- This lake is also abundant with trout in the spring, early summer and fall. Bass, sunfish, catfish, crappie and perch provide anglers with fine catches throughout the year. These fishing areas also have boat ramps, fishing docks, toilets, picnic tables and places for camping. Some of them also offer accessibility and comfort for handicapped people in wheelchairs who wish to enjoy fishing in the Clearwater River.

Glucagon is a blood glucose-elevating hormone released from α-cells in the islets of Langerhans during hypoglycaemia. Glucagon is critical for glucose homeostasis and inappropriate regulation of its secretion underlies both impaired counter-regulation of hypoglycaemia and chronic hyperglycaemia in diabetes patients. The mechanisms by which glucose controls glucagon secretion are poorly understood, but have been suggested to involve both direct effects of the sugar on α-cells and indirect effects mediated by paracrine factors released within the islet, including insulin and gamma-hydroxybutyrate (GHB) from β-cells, and somatostatin from δ-cells. This thesis addresses the role of the intracellular messengers ATP, Ca2+ and cAMP in glucose-regulated glucagon secretion. Various fluorescence microscopy techniques were used to monitor changes of these messengers in single, dispersed α-cells and those in situ within intact islets, and glucagon secretion from islets was measured with an immunoassay. Glucose induced elevations of α-cell ATP, which were smaller and showed a left-shifted concentration-dependence compared to those in β-cells, consistent with α-cells being less dependent on oxidative metabolism and optimized for sensing hypoglycaemia. α-Cells showed Ca2+ oscillations with little glucose dependence. Surprisingly, these oscillations became synchronized in phase with Ca2+ oscillations in β-cells at high glucose. Since Ca2+ is a main trigger of exocytosis in both cell types, and since insulin and glucagon secretion is pulsatile in opposite phase, the results indicate that factors other than Ca2+ are more important for shaping glucagon secretion. Consistent with a key role of cAMP for the regulation of glucagon release, the concentration of the messenger was relatively high in α-cells at low glucose concentrations, and elevations of glucose suppressed cAMP in parallel with glucagon secretion. This effect was independent of paracrine signalling from insulin and somatostatin. The glucose-induced suppression of glucagon secretion was prevented by cAMP-elevating agents and mimicked by inhibitors of protein kinase A. GHB lacked effects both on Ca2+, cAMP and glucagon secretion from mouse islets, but tended to stimulate glucagon secretion by a somatostatin-receptor-dependent mechanism in human islets. The data indicate that GHB is not an inhibitor of glucagon secretion and that α-cell-intrinsic glucose sensing involves signalling via cAMP and protein kinase A.

I already installed version 5.6.2 already changed what it asks for, but it is still reading version 4.10.3.

A: Go to below path in your ionic cordova project
Path : Drive\Your project folder\platforms\android\cordova\lib\builders\GradleBuilder.js
Change minimum supported Gradle version to 5.6.1 there,this will reflect in your project and your project will read 5.6.1 instead of 4.10.3.

In Ionic 4,Change minimum supported gradle version in ProjectBuilder.js in builders folder,then build the app

A: Can you please check your plaforms/android/gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties file what is the distributionUrl ?


The width of the trench should be assigned of condition for convenience of assembly work.
The bottom of the trench should be aligned and released from rocks and boulders should not have frozen sections. It may be necessary to strengthen the bottom of the trench in very loose soils. In inclined to shift ground, and in case of danger of soil leaching trench bottom should be reinforced by layer of geotextile material for the separation of the soil from the pipe.
Pillow under the pipe should be settled for all types of soils. For these purposes we should use sand or gravel (maximum grain size 20 mm), thickness of which must be at least 10 and not more than 15 cm. The cushion under the pipes should not be thickened with the exception of plots for 2 meters to manhole or to the wall of the well from the side of incoming pipe. Pillow should be carefully aligned.. When laying pipes must be fitted in areas of pit connections (Fig. 1).
Soil taken in the preparation of the trench bottom can be used for the primary pipe dusting/sprinkled on the condition that there are no stones (maximum size of - 20 mm, some stones up to 60 mm can be left in the ground). If the soil is assumed to condense and sprinkled, it must be suitable for such an operation. If the removed soil is not suitable for the pipe dusting/sprinkled, it is necessary to use sand or gravel with a size of 22 mm or fractions of crushed stone to the size of fractions 4-22 mm.
Primary pipes should be sprinkled over the entire width trench to a height of at least 0.15 m from the top of the pipe. Soil compaction at pipes sprinkling where required, must be done with thick layers of 0.15-0.20 m. The first layer should not exceed half the diameter of the pipe and shall not exceed 0.20 m.
The second layer is poured to the top of the pipe and its thickness should not exceed 0,20 m. Ramming of soil directly above the pipe is unacceptable.
Backfill of the trench can be done by the soil taken out of it , provided that the size of the largest boulders in it does not exceed 300 mm. The size of the stones, however, should not exceed 60 mm, where a layer of protective tubes and sprinkled at least 0.3 m from its top.

Patients who have NHS Health Checks are more than twice as likely to have cardiovascular risk factors – such as blood pressure and cholesterol – measured by their GP, according to a study by King's College London.
The study, published in the Journal of Public Health, also found NHS Health Checks were linked with reduced gender and socioeconomic inequality in testing, and with slightly higher prescribing of statins.
The NHS Health Check programme was introduced in 2010 and provides free cardiovascular risk checks for 40- to 74-year-olds every 5 years to identify risk factors for heart disease, stroke, dementia, kidney disease and diabetes.
The study analysed anonymised GP health records from 75,123 UK patients who underwent NHS Health Checks and 182,245 matched controls who did not complete a health check. Patients who already had diabetes, heart disease or stroke were excluded from the study.
The biggest gains were seen in cholesterol testing, with only 43% of patients who had not attended a health check having cholesterol recorded, compared with 92% of health check patients. Overall, the proportion of people with all four main cardiovascular risk factors - smoking status, BMI, cholesterol and blood pressure - recorded increased from 40% to 91% after health checks.
There was a small increase in statin prescriptions, from 7.6% in the controls to 11% in those who had health checks.
The health checks reduced inequalities, as males of lower socioeconomic status who had health checks were more likely to have their risk factors tested similarly to men of higher socioeconomic status. However, there was no reduction for inequality seen for women.
Fewer NHS Health Check participants said that they smoked – only 19% reported smoking, compared with 25% of the controls - and the study authors suggested this could be because smokers may be less inclined to attend health checks, or tell their GP that they smoke at a health check.
The authors also caution that the control group could have included people who had declined a health check, who might also be more likely to decline to do tests at their GP normally.
'Do health checks improve risk factor detection in primary care? Matched cohort study using electronic health records' by Forster et al is published in the Journal of Public Health.

Much like Tamarix Poultry and Egg Farm, family farms have been the foundation of Australian agriculture for a long time and the Postregna family's Tamarix egg production enterprise on Melbourne's sprawling south east fringe reflects a typical history.
It started "closer in" and moved out in response to the expanding metropolis, adapting to changing circumstances but staying focused on the core business.
Like many others post-World War 2, Agostino 'Gus' Postregna immigrated to Australia from north east Italy, near the Slovenian border, to make a new life in Australia.

King Sound is a large gulf in northern Western Australia. It expands from the mouth of the Fitzroy River, one of Australia's largest watercourses, and opens to the Indian Ocean. It is about  long, and averages about  in width. The port town of Derby lies near the mouth of the Fitzroy River on the eastern shore of King Sound. King Sound has the highest tides in Australia, and amongst the highest in the world, reaching a maximum tidal range of  at Derby. The tidal range and water dynamic were researched in 1997–1998.

Waters within the sound are generally turbid.  The turbidity is associated with the erosion of tidal flats.

Geography
Open waters of the sound cover 2,325 km2. Other rivers that discharge into the sound include the Lennard River, Meda River, Robinson River and May River. King Sound has a catchment area of 21,315 km2. King Sound is part of the Canning Basin. The climate is semi-arid and tropical with a strong monsoonal influence.

King Sound is bordered by the island clusters of the Buccaneer Archipelago to the East and Cape Leveque to the West.

The mean depth of King Sound of 18 metres. The mouth of King Sound features a channel that is 50 metres deep and 20 kilometres wide.

History
The traditional owners and original inhabitants of the area are Indigenous Australians, namely the Nimanburu, Njulnjul, and Warwa peoples.

The first European to explore the sound was William Dampier who visited the region aboard  in 1688.

Noted surveyor Phillip Parker King surveyed the coastline in 1821 and named the area Cygnet Bay. The area was later visited by John Stokes and John Wickham aboard  in 1838. The sound was later named after King.

In the 1880s it was one of the sites in the Kimberleys of a short-lived gold rush.

Doctor's Creek, in the south of King Sound, has been the site of various proposals for tidal range energy plants since the 1960s. In 2013, the Derby Tidal Power Project from Tidal Energy Australia was given environmental approval. The 40MW tidal power station is expected to cost $375 million to construct.

It's summertime. Around here that means trips to the beach, dips in the pool and journeys to the park. At night, my kids like to get on their helmets and bike ride or skate. We dig in the dirt, make crafts and whip up tasty treats. Like most little ones, my kids can make a mess quickly. With two kids home for the majority of the summer, I'm committed to preventing my kids from destroying our home. Here's my plan.
Eat Outside: The other night I had spent an hour vacumming and cleaning the floors. Then, for dessert my kids were begging for angel food cake with berries and whipped cream. In my head, I imagined cake falling onto the floor, in slow motion, and covering it in sugary crumbs. So, I grabbed a waterproof blanket and hauled it out to the porch. We ate our dessert and watched the sun go down. When it's not too hot (or cold) out, we will have picnics or eat at our little table in the backyard.
Take off Those Shoes: I don't mind if my kids get dirty. However, I do mind if they track mud through the house. I realized that taking our shoes off near the door made my floors so much cleaner. We have mostly laminate flooring so I can easily see the amount of dirt on our floors when I clean them. Since we have been taking off our shoes more, my floors are much cleaner. I figure this also keeps germs out of the house too. We my kids have been playing in sand, I make sure to empty their shoes outside. Pesky sand can be very hard to clean up.
Everything has a Place: My husband, bless his soul, recently went through my craft closet. Yes, I actually have a few shelves devoted specially to crafts. There is a drawer for paper, one for markers and crayons and another for notebooks. We have a box dedicated to paint and brushes and pencil boxes for odds and ends. In our "playroom," we have drawers for legos, another for cars and a big bin for outdoor toys. Our house is definitely not immaculate but we have an organizational system that helps the toys and art from getting out of control.
Chore Chart: If you allow it, kids can leave a trail of mess behind them. Chore charts help remind children to clean up after themselves. Simple tasks like making your bed, putting your clothes in the hamper, hanging up clothing and cleaning up after dinner is a big help for me. I just found a "Frozen" themed one for my daughter. I'm hoping Anna and Elsa might motivate her to do some chores.
My house can get messy pretty quickly. How do you keep your kids from destroying your house?
Sometimes fun equals mess right?

Lusk Law Client Spotlight: CK Electric
At Lusk Law LLC — Advocates for Life's Obstacles and Opportunities — we work hard to meet our clients' needs, earn their trust, and build lasting relationships with them. As a small business ourselves, we have a deep understanding of the hard work, determination, and passion that's required to build a successful company from the ground up. Our Client Spotlight series is designed to recognize outstanding businesses serving our community. This month, we'd like to celebrate CK Electric, a veteran-owned and operated company based in Sykesville with a mission of providing high-quality electrical work at an affordable price.
CK Electric is owned by Carl Kirkpatrick and his wife, Nancy, who moved to the area from Montgomery County, attracted by the more rural lifestyle.
Originally from Haynesville, Louisiana, Carl is a disabled veteran of the United States Marine Corps who spent eight years honorably serving his country with tours in Japan, Iraq, Afghanistan, and other locations. After working as a correctional officer in Louisiana, he moved to Maryland in 2009. Carl earned an Associate's Degree in Project Management from Montgomery College, and completed the 4-year apprenticeship program of IEC Chesapeake (the Mid-Atlantic chapter of the Independent Electrical Contractors). He graduated at the top of his class. Carl is now a fully insured Master Electrician, licensed throughout the state.
Nancy is a native of Newport News, Virginia. After earning a B.S. in Governmental Administration and an MBA with a concentration in marketing, she moved to Maryland for work — and has been here ever since. In addition to managing her own full-time career, she brings her marketing and business prowess to CK Electric, handling the administrative and financial side of the business.
CK Electric is truly a family affair: Carl and Nancy's nephew, Craig, a student at Texas Tech University (go Red Raiders!), helps with advertising and marketing as needed.
Started in October 2019, CK Electric offers residential and light commercial services. Their ideal client is "anyone who appreciates quality work at a fair price." Whatever their needs — rewiring, smart home upgrades, troubleshooting and repairing problems, or anything else electrical — clients can count on a job well done without exorbitant costs or hidden fees.
There are many electricians in the state of Maryland. One thing that sets CK Electric apart is its client-centered approach. They strive to provide a level of customer service that keeps their clients coming back — and recommending CK Electric to family and friends.
Carl and Nancy came to Lusk Law, LLC in 2019 as they were preparing to launch their business. They appreciate working with Rebekah and the entire staff because they are accessible, responsible, not intimidating, and excel at explaining everything thoroughly.
Becoming a licensed electrician in Maryland involves a lot of bureaucracy and red tape, which can vary from county to county. Carl and Nancy say "Rebekah and her team were instrumental in helping us navigate the challenging and confusing regulations involved in becoming appropriately licensed and registered in Maryland and the various counties. They did all the leg work researching what we needed so we could focus on our core business – providing sound electrical work for our customers."
If you are seeking quality, fairly priced electrical work, contact CK Electric for a quote.
At Lusk Law, LLC, we look forward to helping you achieve your business goals. Call us at (443) 535-9715 to schedule a consultation.


First time I used the Cancel Object plugin it worked like a charm and allowed me to skip the one item in the job that was causing issues. Ever since then though, whenever I've tried to cancel an object, when its moved on the next object, it pushes out a big blob of filament before carrying on. Does it every layer. Anyone else had this or have any ideas if there is a setting I need to change to prevent it happening?
Please don't post the same question on multiple threads. You already asked over there.
Re-opened thread since this version has a question at the end of it.
Make sure you are using relative extrusion distances. I know there are issues with how absolute extrusion is being tracked. Hoping to fix in the next update.
After I cancel an object, the head moves to the next object and then the extrude spins 'very fast' trying to extrude a LOT of filament before continuing with the next legitimate object.
It spins so fast that my extruder drive gear cannot handle and skips across the filament.
Are you using relative extrusion distances, as recommended?
If you open an issue on the github page and provide your gcode, that would be the easiest way to see what's happening.
Thanks. I was not using relative extrusion - I will turn it on and see how I go.
If you could still open an issue at https://github.com/paukstelis/Octoprint-Cancelobject and provide your gcode that doesn't work it would be appreciated.

It seems that Lady Gaga has had her hands clutched too tight around her money vault, I mean seriously, it's not like she has enough anyway as one of the most popular stars in the music industry. Recently, Gaga's assistant came forward and is claiming that she is owed $400,000 in overtime pay after attending to Gaga's every need for four weeks in 2009 and then throughout 2010 and into March of this year, according to an article in E! Entertainment. Jennifer L. O'Neill is now suing Lady Gaga for the money that she's owed.
The plaintiff is claiming that she worked 7,168 hours of overtime during her employment with the star, meaning she was basically on duty 24/7 for all of Gaga's needs. Her complaint states that she was paid $1,000 per week for her time in 2009, and then an annual salary of $75,000 for the rest.
According to the lawsuit, this is just the base salary and doesn't account for the time that O'Neill spent attending to Gaga's business ranging from in her home and travels for global concert tours, city to city throughout the world, locales including stadiums, private jets, fine hotel suites, yachts, ferries, trains and tour buses. O'Neill was mainly just behind the scenes, but always at Gaga's side.
A representative for Gaga is saying that O'Neill's suit is completely without merit, which isn't that surprising. However, O'Neill is still requesting to be paid at least $393,014, which encompasses the alleged unpaid overtime and fair compensation for working 10-hour days.


With billions invested in airline branding programs, getting a return in customer satisfaction and brand reputation is critical. Checking that the performance of products and services lives up to expectations is as important as quality control in manufacturing, but more difficult to do.
Relying on passenger surveys, crew reports or interval maintenance inspections is helpful, but these results may be not paint a complete picture for program managers. Independent field inspectors can offer more detailed metrics.
As David Lipton, president and co-founder of Toronto-based Sensors Quality Management (SQM) says, the concept of "mystery shoppers" judging the product satisfaction and service of personnel at restaurants, hotels and retail outlets has a long history, though he finds the label itself outdated and prefers the more descriptive "brand experience inspectors".
Lipton's thousands of inspectors are helping travel brands maintain their standards and reputations. Inspectors are sent out into the field after undergoing SQM training on inspection practices as well as separate instruction on the particular requirements of the brand they will measure.
To avoid bias in metrics, SQM uses checklists that can be answered objectively – "yes" or "no" or "not applicable". "Was the safety guide in the seatback? Yes, or no," Lipton explains. Inspectors are also encouraged to provide additional information where it might be needed to clarify their findings, but the company does not use sliding scales. "We take the grey area out of it … We don't rank things on a scale because what is a '2' to me might be an '8' to you," Lipton explains.
Importantly, SQM inspectors do not know the weight of the factors they measure in the overall score for the brand. Only SQM and the brand know that. Reports are checked by SQM in-house quality teams to ensure the completeness of information before any results are published to the client through the SQM client portal.
"We have a very robust online reporting system. Authorized users have access to individual inspections, as well as a plethora of statistics, which are typically posted online within three business days of an inspection," Lipton says.
To protect anonymity of the programs, Lipton has asked that Runway Girl Network keep his client list anonymous, though it includes major airline brands in Europe and North America. SQM also assists global hotel chains, train companies and even bus services.
SQM metrics have proven useful to brands over the years in fine-tuning their product and addressing issues that pop up. Demand is high enough that the company is actively recruiting travelers to grow its base of inspectors. The attraction for would-be inspectors is that they can fly where they want to fly for less, in exchange for field work. For airlines, the benefit is avoiding field inspection costs and only having to cover airfare.
While inspection results have fallen under the job scope of program managers and station managers over the years, the usefulness of the metrics is now getting attention in the C-Suite, Lipton says.
While SQM's ratings won't result in a plaque with stars on it to post on the wall or to include in marketing campaigns, they can identify recurring component or service failures early on, allowing airlines to address these faults before they lead to public complaints or pricey write-offs.

A trail striping project has begun on the west bank trail between the River West Festival Park and Turkey Mountain. The trail will remain open; however, trail users should use caution and watch for "wet paint" signs. This project is anticipated to be completed by early November.


Abstract: We consider control systems governed by nonlinear O.D.E.'s in which the derivative of the control is involved. Such equations appear e.g. in Classical Mechanics, where some components of the systems act as a control and the other as dependent state variables. The control is this framework is usually called "impulsive" or "unbounded", and it is allowed to be a (discontinuous) bounded variation function, whose derivative gives the system an impulsive character. For this class of equations, we adopt the concept of "graph completion solution", that was introduced by A. Bressan and F. Rampazzo in the 90's. We consider an optimal control problem in the Mayer form, with general control and final state constraints, for which we prove a maximum principle and higher-order necessary conditions in terms of the adjoint state and the Lie brackets of the involved vector fields.
Joint work with Monica Motta and Franco Rampazzo (Università di Padova, Italy).
Abstract: In this talk we consider second order optimality conditions for bilinear optimal control problems governed by strongly continuous semigroups with the control entering linearly in the cost function. We derive first and second order optimality conditions, taking advantage of the Goh transformation. We then apply the results to heat, (damped) wave, and Schr\"odinger equations and discuss extensions to optimal control of the semilinear heat equation with additional constraints on the state.
Joint work with Franz Bethke (Humboldt Universität, Berlin, Germany), Frédéric Bonnans (INRIA) and Maria Soledad Aronna (Escola de Matemática Aplicada, FGV, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil).
Abstract: It has been known for a long time that the value function associated with stabilization problems can be expanded in a Taylor series, where the involved multilinear forms are characterized by specific equations. Solving these equations allows to approximate locally the value function, without solving the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation. Taylor approximations can be used first to design polynomial feedback laws. They can also be used to improve the receding-horizon algorithm. In this talk, I will present recent theoretical results dealing with these two numerical approaches and give numerical results for a control problem of the Fokker-Planck equation.
Joint work with Tobias Breiten and Karl Kunisch.

North Country Trail hikers set 100-mile centennial goal
By KEVIN DUFFY
LANSING — Joan Young of Scottville is a frequent hiker on the seven-state North Country National Scenic Trail. Soon, she'll have a special patch to show for it. Young, who over the years has logged every one of the trail's 4,600 miles, is participating this year in a 100-mile hike challenge sponsored by the North Country Trail Association, headquartered in Lowell. The challenge marks the National Park Service's centennial and will reward those who complete it with a commemorative patch. "I already have nine miles on the trail for 2016," Young said last month.
924-mile trek tracks cross-state trail plan
By NICHOLAS BLASKOWSKI
LANSING – Chris Hillier of Taylor is on a hike of historic proportions. The former Army medic and current cardiovascular technologist said he's logged more than 6,000 miles of hiking since 2011, mostly across Michigan. His new journey takes him from Belle Isle in Detroit to Ironwood, a Western Upper Peninsula city bordering Wisconsin. The 924-mile hike will make Taylor the first to tackle the trail route proposed by Gov. Rick Snyder last November. The plan, to be funded in part from the Natural Resource Trust Fund, would connect existing pathways – about 70 percent of the route – with new trails to showcase the state's waterways, diverse forests and wildlife.
