Covid-19 Coronavirus Faq
What is a coronavirus?
Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses which may cause illness in animals or humans. In humans, several coronaviruses are known to cause respiratory infections ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS). The most recently discovered coronavirus causes coronavirus disease COVID-19.
What is COVID-19?
COVID-19 is the infectious disease caused by the most recently discovered coronavirus. This new virus and disease were unknown before the outbreak began in Wuhan, China, in December 2019.
The most common symptoms of COVID-19 are fever, tiredness, and dry cough. Some patients may have aches and pains, nasal congestion, runny nose, sore throat or diarrhea. These symptoms are usually mild and begin gradually. Some people become infected but don't develop any symptoms and don't feel unwell. Most people (about 80%) recover from the disease without needing special treatment. Around 1 out of every 6 people who gets COVID-19 becomes seriously ill and develops difficulty breathing. Older people, and those with underlying medical problems like high blood pressure, heart problems or diabetes, are more likely to develop serious illness. People with fever, cough and difficulty breathing should seek medical attention.
People can catch COVID-19 from others who have the virus. The disease can spread from person to person through small droplets from the nose or mouth which are spread when a person with COVID-19 coughs or exhales. These droplets land on objects and surfaces around the person. Other people then catch COVID-19 by touching these objects or surfaces, then touching their eyes, nose or mouth. People can also catch COVID-19 if they breathe in droplets from a person with COVID-19 who coughs out or exhales droplets. This is why it is important to stay more than 1 meter (3 feet) away from a person who is sick.
WHO is assessing ongoing research on the ways COVID-19 is spread and will continue to share updated findings.
Can the virus that causes COVID-19 be transmitted through the air?
Studies to date suggest that the virus that causes COVID-19 is mainly transmitted through contact with respiratory droplets rather than through the air. See previous answer on "How does COVID-19 spread?"
Can CoVID-19 be caught from a person who has no symptoms?
The main way the disease spreads is through respiratory droplets expelled by someone who is coughing. The risk of catching COVID-19 from someone with no symptoms at all is very low. However, many people with COVID-19 experience only mild symptoms. This is particularly true at the early stages of the disease. It is therefore possible to catch COVID-19 from someone who has, for example, just a mild cough and does not feel ill. WHO is assessing ongoing research on the period of transmission of COVID-19 and will continue to share updated findings.
Can I catch COVID-19 from the feces of someone with the disease?
The risk of catching COVID-19 from the feces of an infected person appears to be low. While initial investigations suggest the virus may be present in feces in some cases, spread through this route is not a main feature of the outbreak. WHO is assessing ongoing research on the ways COVID-19 is spread and will continue to share new findings. Because this is a risk, however, it is another reason to clean hands regularly, after using the bathroom and before eating.
What can I do to protect myself and prevent the spread of disease?
Protection measures for everyone
Stay aware of the latest information on the COVID-19 outbreak, available on the WHO website and through your national and local public health authority. Many countries around the world have seen cases of COVID-19 and several have seen outbreaks. Authorities in China and some other countries have succeeded in slowing or stopping their outbreaks. However, the situation is unpredictable so check regularly for the latest news.
You can reduce your chances of being infected or spreading COVID-19 by taking some simple precautions:
Regularly and thoroughly clean your hands with an alcohol-based hand rub or wash them with soap and water. Why? Washing your hands with soap and water or using alcohol-based hand rub kills viruses that may be on your hands.
Maintain at least 1 metre (3 feet) distance between yourself and anyone who is coughing or sneezing. Why? When someone coughs or sneezes they spray small liquid droplets from their nose or mouth which may contain virus. If you are too close, you can breathe in the droplets, including the COVID-19 virus if the person coughing has the disease.
Avoid touching eyes, nose and mouth. Why? Hands touch many surfaces and can pick up viruses. Once contaminated, hands can transfer the virus to your eyes, nose or mouth. From there, the virus can enter your body and can make you sick.
Make sure you, and the people around you, follow good respiratory hygiene. This means covering your mouth and nose with your bent elbow or tissue when you cough or sneeze. Then dispose of the used tissue immediately. Why? Droplets spread virus. By following good respiratory hygiene you protect the people around you from viruses such as cold, flu and COVID-19.
Stay home if you feel unwell. If you have a fever, cough and difficulty breathing, seek medical attention and call in advance. Follow the directions of your local health authority. Why? National and local authorities will have the most up to date information on the situation in your area. Calling in advance will allow your health care provider to quickly direct you to the right health facility. This will also protect you and help prevent spread of viruses and other infections.
Keep up to date on the latest COVID-19 hotspots (cities or local areas where COVID-19 is spreading widely). If possible, avoid traveling to places – especially if you are an older person or have diabetes, heart or lung disease. Why? You have a higher chance of catching COVID-19 in one of these areas.
Protection measures for persons who are in or have recently visited (past 14 days) areas where COVID-19 is spreading
Follow the guidance outlined above (Protection measures for everyone)
Self-isolate by staying at home if you begin to feel unwell, even with mild symptoms such as headache, low grade fever (37.3 C or above) and slight runny nose, until you recover. If it is essential for you to have someone bring you supplies or to go out, e.g. to buy food, then wear a mask to avoid infecting other people. Why? Avoiding contact with others and visits to medical facilities will allow these facilities to operate more effectively and help protect you and others from possible COVID-19 and other viruses.
If you develop fever, cough and difficulty breathing, seek medical advice promptly as this may be due to a respiratory infection or other serious condition. Call in advance and tell your provider of any recent travel or contact with travelers. Why? Calling in advance will allow your health care provider to quickly direct you to the right health facility. This will also help to prevent possible spread of COVID-19 and other viruses.
How likely am I to catch COVID-19?
The risk depends on where you are – and more specifically, whether there is a COVID-19 outbreak unfolding there.
For most people in most locations the risk of catching COVID-19 is still low. However, there are now places around the world (cities or areas) where the disease is spreading. For people living in, or visiting, these areas the risk of catching COVID-19 is higher. Governments and health authorities are taking vigorous action every time a new case of COVID-19 is identified. Be sure to comply with any local restrictions on travel, movement or large gatherings. Cooperating with disease control efforts will reduce your risk of catching or spreading COVID-19.
COVID-19 outbreaks can be contained and transmission stopped, as has been shown in China and some other countries. Unfortunately, new outbreaks can emerge rapidly. It's important to be aware of the situation where you are or intend to go. WHO publishes daily updates on the COVID-19 situation worldwide.
You can see these at https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019/situation-reports/
Should I worry about COVID-19?
Illness due to COVID-19 infection is generally mild, especially for children and young adults. However, it can cause serious illness: about 1 in every 5 people who catch it need hospital care. It is therefore quite normal for people to worry about how the COVID-19 outbreak will affect them and their loved ones.
We can channel our concerns into actions to protect ourselves, our loved ones and our communities. First and foremost among these actions is regular and thorough hand-washing and good respiratory hygiene. Secondly, keep informed and follow the advice of the local health authorities including any restrictions put in place on travel, movement and gatherings.
Learn more about how to protect yourself athttps://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019/advice-for-public
Who is at risk of developing severe illness?
While we are still learning about how COVID-2019 affects people, older persons and persons with pre-existing medical conditions (such as high blood pressure, heart disease, lung disease, cancer or diabetes) appear to develop serious illness more often than others.
Are antibiotics effective in preventing or treating the COVID-19?
No. Antibiotics do not work against viruses, they only work on bacterial infections. COVID-19 is caused by a virus, so antibiotics do not work. Antibiotics should not be used as a means of prevention or treatment of COVID-19. They should only be used as directed by a physician to treat a bacterial infection.
Are there any medicines or therapies that can prevent or cure COVID-19?
While some western, traditional or home remedies may provide comfort and alleviate symptoms of COVID-19, there is no evidence that current medicine can prevent or cure the disease. WHO does not recommend self-medication with any medicines, including antibiotics, as a prevention or cure for COVID-19. However, there are several ongoing clinical trials that include both western and traditional medicines. WHO will continue to provide updated information as soon as clinical findings are available.
Is there a vaccine, drug or treatment for COVID-19?
Not yet. To date, there is no vaccine and no specific antiviral medicine to prevent or treat COVID-2019. However, those affected should receive care to relieve symptoms. People with serious illness should be hospitalized. Most patients recover thanks to supportive care.
Possible vaccines and some specific drug treatments are under investigation. They are being tested through clinical trials. WHO is coordinating efforts to develop vaccines and medicines to prevent and treat COVID-19.
The most effective ways to protect yourself and others against COVID-19 are to frequently clean your hands, cover your cough with the bend of elbow or tissue, and maintain a distance of at least 1 meter (3 feet) from people who are coughing or sneezing.(See Basic protective measures against the new coronavirus).
Is COVID-19 the same as SARS?
No. The virus that causes COVID-19 and the one that caused the outbreak of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) in 2003 are related to each other genetically, but the diseases they cause are quite different.
SARS was more deadly but much less infectious than COVID-19. There have been no outbreaks of SARS anywhere in the world since 2003.
Should I wear a mask to protect myself?
Only wear a mask if you are ill with COVID-19 symptoms (especially coughing) or looking after someone who may have COVID-19. Disposable face mask can only be used once. If you are not ill or looking after someone who is ill then you are wasting a mask. There is a world-wide shortage of masks, so WHO urges people to use masks wisely.
WHO advises rational use of medical masks to avoid unnecessary wastage of precious resources and mis-use of masks (see Advice on the use of masks).
The most effective ways to protect yourself and others against COVID-19 are to frequently clean your hands, cover your cough with the bend of elbow or tissue and maintain a distance of at least 1 meter (3 feet) from people who are coughing or sneezing. See basic protective measures against the new coronavirus for more information.
How to put on, use, take off and dispose of a mask?
Remember, a mask should only be used by health workers, care takers, and individuals with respiratory symptoms, such as fever and cough.
Before touching the mask, clean hands with an alcohol-based hand rub or soap and water
Take the mask and inspect it for tears or holes.
Orient which side is the top side (where the metal strip is).
Ensure the proper side of the mask faces outwards (the coloured side).
Place the mask to your face. Pinch the metal strip or stiff edge of the mask so it moulds to the shape of your nose.
Pull down the mask's bottom so it covers your mouth and your chin.
After use, take off the mask; remove the elastic loops from behind the ears while keeping the mask away from your face and clothes, to avoid touching potentially contaminated surfaces of the mask.
Discard the mask in a closed bin immediately after use.
Perform hand hygiene after touching or discarding the mask – Use alcohol-based hand rub or, if visibly soiled, wash your hands with soap and water.
How long is the incubation period for COVID-19?
The "incubation period" means the time between catching the virus and beginning to have symptoms of the disease. Most estimates of the incubation period for COVID-19 range from 1-14 days, most commonly around five days. These estimates will be updated as more data become available.
Can humans become infected with the COVID-19 from an animal source?
Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses that are common in animals. Occasionally, people get infected with these viruses which may then spread to other people. For example, SARS-CoV was associated with civet cats and MERS-CoV is transmitted by dromedary camels. Possible animal sources of COVID-19 have not yet been confirmed.
To protect yourself, such as when visiting live animal markets, avoid direct contact with animals and surfaces in contact with animals. Ensure good food safety practices at all times. Handle raw meat, milk or animal organs with care to avoid contamination of uncooked foods and avoid consuming raw or undercooked animal products.
Can I catch COVID-19 from my pet?
While there has been one instance of a dog being infected in Hong Kong, to date, there is no evidence that a dog, cat or any pet can transmit COVID-19. COVID-19 is mainly spread through droplets produced when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or speaks. To protect yourself, clean your hands frequently and thoroughly.
WHO continues to monitor the latest research on this and other COVID-19 topics and will update as new findings are available.
How long does the virus survive on surfaces?
It is not certain how long the virus that causes COVID-19 survives on surfaces, but it seems to behave like other coronaviruses. Studies suggest that coronaviruses (including preliminary information on the COVID-19 virus) may persist on surfaces for a few hours or up to several days. This may vary under different conditions (e.g. type of surface, temperature or humidity of the environment).
If you think a surface may be infected, clean it with simple disinfectant to kill the virus and protect yourself and others. Clean your hands with an alcohol-based hand rub or wash them with soap and water. Avoid touching your eyes, mouth, or nose.
Is it safe to receive a package from any area where COVID-19 has been reported?
Yes. The likelihood of an infected person contaminating commercial goods is low and the risk of catching the virus that causes COVID-19 from a package that has been moved, travelled, and exposed to different conditions and temperature is also low.
Is there anything I should not do?
The following measures ARE NOT effective against COVID-2019 and can be harmful:
Wearing multiple masks
Taking antibiotics (See question 10 "Are there any medicines of therapies that can prevent or cure COVID-19?")
In any case, if you have fever, cough and difficulty breathing seek medical care early to reduce the risk of developing a more severe infection and be sure to share your recent travel history with your health care provider.

Pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi (C) and her son Kim Aris (not pictured) visit the ancient Bagan Pagodas in Bagan, Myanmar. Suu Kyi ventured outside her home city on Monday for the first time since her release from house arrest in November, making a low-key visit to the ancient city of Bagan amid tight security.
Her father, Aung San, founded the modern Burmese army and negotiated Burma's independence from the British in 1947.
Her mother was appointed Burmese ambassador to India and Nepal in 1960. Suu Kyi graduated from Lady Shri Ram College in New Delhi with a degree in politics in 1964.
Suu Kyi has remained under house arrest in Burma for almost 15 of the 21 years that she started her political career from 20 July 1989 until her release on 13 November 2010.
In response to her detention, she received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1991.

Q: Calculations using random numbers of a specific range in a 2D array in c I have to populate a 2D array using random numbers between 3 and 19.
The array is 4 x 3, the first two columns will represent two sides to a right triangle and the third column is the hypotenuse.
I'm pretty new to C, so I'm not sure where I'm going wrong. my output gives me the headers just fine but just one single vertical line of numbers instead of a 4 x 3 grid.
Here's my code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <time.h>
#include <math.h>
#define ROW 4
#define COL 3

void printChart(double array[ROW][COL]);

int main(void)
{
    double chart[ROW][COL];
    double *ptrchart = &chart[0][0];

    srand(time(NULL));
    for (size_t i = 0;i < ROW;i++)
    {
        for (size_t j = 0;j < COL;j++)
        {

            chart[i][j] = 3 + (rand() % 19);
        }
    }

    for (size_t i = 0;i < ROW;i++)
    {
        chart[i][2] = 0;
    }

    printChart(ptrchart);

    for (size_t i = 0;i < ROW;i++)
    {
        chart[i][2] = (double)sqrt(pow(chart[i][0], 2) + pow(chart[i][1], 2));

    }

    puts(" ");

    printChart(ptrchart);

    return 0;

}

void printChart(double array[ROW][COL])
{
    printf("%s", "Side A\tSide B\tHypotenuse(Side C)\n");
    for (size_t i = 0;i < ROW;i++)
    {
        for (size_t j = 0;j < COL;j++)
        {
            printf("%.3f\t",  array[i][j]);

            if (j = 2)
            {
                puts(" ");
            }
        }
    }
}

Any help would be greatly appreciated, and if I need to clarify anything please let me know.

A: you should just put (j==2) instead of (j=2) in your function since it changes j to always be 2 the way you wrote it
I ran the below code and it works
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <time.h>
#include <math.h>
#define ROW 4
#define COL 3

void printChart(double array[ROW][COL])
{
printf("%s", "Side A\tSide B\tHypotenuse(Side C)\n");
for (size_t i = 0;i < ROW;i++)
{
    for (size_t j = 0;j < COL;j++)
    {
        printf("%.3f\t",  array[i][j]);

        if (j == 2)
        {
            puts(" ");
        }
    }
}
}

int main(void)
{
double chart[ROW][COL];
double *ptrchart = &chart[0][0];

srand(time(NULL));
for (size_t i = 0;i < ROW;i++)
{
    for (size_t j = 0;j < COL;j++)
    {

        chart[i][j] = 3 + (rand() % 19);
    }
}
for (size_t i = 0;i < ROW;i++)
{
    chart[i][2] = 0;
}
for (size_t i = 0;i < ROW;i++)
{
    chart[i][2] = (double)sqrt(pow(chart[i][0], 2) + pow(chart[i][1], 2));
}
puts(" ");
printChart(ptrchart);
return 0;

Gary Taubes, science writer for Science magazine and other publications, including the New York Times Magazine, has written two books that cover the same subject.
The first one, Good Calories, Bad Calories is more compendious and more technical in following the relevant scientific research into what makes people fat. After enough readers had asked Taubes for a simpler, more condensed version for equally motivated but less scientifically trained readers he wrote Why We Get Fat.

Chipotle Mexican Grill's Partnerships Will Lead to Growth	Pioneer Natural Resources: Production Growth Will be a Catalyst

Peabody Energy: Are There Any Positives?
Due to end market weakness, Peabody Energy (BTU) shares have faced a lot of pressure in the past year. This is because the weakness in the coal market has weighed heavily on the company's financial performance. For example, last quarter, the company's top line was down 24% year-over-year and its net loss widened to $1.04 billion from just $71.2 million in the second quarter of 2014.
Weakness across the board
A significant decline in the energy major's top line and bottom line is primarily attributable to a 16% decline in volume and weaker realized pricing during the quarter.
Peabody had reported total Australian volumes of 8.6 million tons that includes 4.1 million tons of metallurgical coal having an average realized cost of $79.16 and approximately 2.8 million tons of export thermal coal priced at $54.70 per ton, with the outstanding 1.7 million tons produced under domestic thermal agreements.
Peabody also posted negative operating cash flow of $59.8 million that includes $8.2 million linked to make-whole premiums from the retreat of the outstanding 2016 Senior Notes, whereas capital expenditure stood at $25.8 million. Peabody declared total cash balance of $487.1 million by the end of June 2015, with overall liquidity of about $2.1 billion that includes $1.5 billion accessible under the company's completely dedicated credit facility.
The company's continued declining cash position is mainly due to unfavorable global commodity pricing environment forcing Peabody to control costs and capital expenditures.
Positives to watch
Coal demand for India and China is estimated to grow at an accelerated pace going forward. Seaborne metallurgical coal demand from China and India almost tripled from 2008 till 2013. Although coal demand growth in China got suspended in 2014 however, healthy growth in India partly balanced declines. India is believed to import a major portion of its met coal demand owing to weaker domestic sources. Accelerated rate of urbanization and solid economic growth is forecasted to drive significant met coal import demand by 2017.
However, U.S. coal demand in 2015 is expected to contract by 80 to 100 million tons with accelerating curtailments in production. PRB coal inventories grew to 70 days of supply owing to weaker demand and enhanced rail performance.
Natural gas is seen to be quickly replacing coal for the U.S. 2015 estimated electricity generation. However, demand for metallurgical coal in India and China is believed to remain strong with impressively growing import of the key resource in the countries.
Now, coal is believed to be the world's fastest expanding key fuel for this century. In addition, over 75 million people are estimated to be added to cities every year till 2020 accelerating improved infrastructure and energy demands and coal being the least expensive and highly reliable source for electricity generation expected to meet expanding demand.
Don't ignore the negatives
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services recently downgraded its corporate credit rating on Peabody Energy Corp. to 'B' from 'BB-' with a stable outlook primarily driven by the fact that coal industry operating conditions will remain weak during 2015 with pricing for met coal contracting greater than the expectations.
A majority of the key investment analysts are negative about the growth prospects of Peabody Energy primarily driven by the ongoing weaker global commodity pricing environment, widening the losses for the company.
Hence, even though there are certain positives about Peabody Energy, I think it will be wise for investors to stay away from the stock for the time being.

Vedran Perkov – SMETNJE (DISTURBANCES)
Back when TVs were analogue and black and white interruptions during the program caused white noise or TV static to appear and made the viewers nervous. In a digital age there is no white noise but there is an information overload that, again, creates white noise for the viewers.
The text of Universal Declaration of Human Rights, one of the most translated documents in the world, is transformed into binary code system whose basic digits "zero" and "one" are replaced with black and white squares – white noise.
Vedran Perkov received [email protected] award – third place in 2017
Ivana Jelavić – VESNA PARUN MORSE CODE
A female voice starts reading the poetry of Vesna Parun (poet born on Zlarin island, near Šibenik). After that the same line is «read» in Morse code. Mores code is turned into a flash of light.
The same text and the same information create different impressions and atmosphere through various media. The difference between subjective and objective. In an unexpected place expect poetry, surprise – sound and light.

Mosquito Love
The facts of life are often discussed in terms of the birds and the bees. But what about the mosquitoes?
http://podcast.scienceupdate.com/060821_sciup_mosq.mp3
BOB HIRSHON (host):
The mosquito's mating call. I'm Bob Hirshon and this is Science Update.
The mosquito's whiny buzz may be the sweet sound of love—at least to a potential mate. Gabriella Gibson at the University of Kent in England says that when two mosquitos meet, they buzz a duet to find out if they are members of the opposite sex. Males are high-pitched and lower their buzz to match that of a female.
GABRIELLA GIBSON (University of Kent):
You can hear the sound of just the female on her own, and then you hear the male come in at a higher pitch to begin with, but very quickly they both start to change the pitch they're flying at until gradually they come into more or less the same tone and almost harmonize but not quite.
HIRSHON:
On the other hand, same-sex pairings may find it difficult to match their pitches, causing them look elsewhere for a love connection. I'm Bob Hirshon, for AAAS, the science society.

ULM radiologic technology students and faculty impress at conference
Faculty members and students from the University of Louisiana at Monroe Department of Radiologic Technology brought home multiple awards and recognitions during the 56th annual meeting of the Louisiana Society of Radiologic Technologies (LSRT).
The conference was held in Baton Rouge in late July.
ULM's 2013 RadTech Quiz Bowl team won second place honors, making this the second year in a row that the ULM Department of Radiologic Technology has placed in the competition.
Team members included ULM students Kelli Beach of Bastrop, Audre Green of Monroe, Mariah Hilliard of Many, Rachael Maynard of Oxford Mass., Alex Strange of West Monroe, and Will Walding of Pollock.
The team members and coach Andy Allen, assistant professor of radiologic technology at ULM, were awarded individual plaques at the Presidential Banquet.
Whitley Gillin of Abita Springs, Melody Raybourn of West Monroe, and Jacob Slade of Bastrop also assisted in the quiz bowl preparations.
Rebecca Gibson of Oak Ridge, a 2013 graduate of the radiologic technology program, was awarded the LSRT's Joe Schwartz Memorial Scholarship.
Gibson was involved extensively with the state and national societies during her time in the professional program, and contributed significantly on behalf of the student technologists in the state.
Now as a registered technologist, Gibson is continuing her professional contributions by pursuing a master of education at ULM, as well as serving on the LSRT By-Laws Task Force.
The Department of Radiologic Technology faculty was also well represented at the event.
Instructor Jennifer Michael presented a lecture titled "The Radiologic Technologist and Social Networking," and was appointed chair of the 2014 LSRT MidWinter Meeting committee, which will be held on the ULM campus in March.
Clinical Coordinator Andy Allen was presented with a plaque at the Presidential Banquet recognizing his service as past president, board member, and outgoing chairman of the board.
ULM Radiologic Technology Program Director Brett Bennett was sworn in as the new chairman of the board following his past year of service as board member.
According to their website, the LSRT srtives to advance the professions of radiation and imaging specialties, to maintain high standards of education, to enhance the quality of patient care, and to further the welfare and socioeconomics of Radiologic Technologists.
In order to maintain high levels of ethical conduct, the LSRT adopts the Code of Ethics established by the American Society of Radiologic Technologists (ASRT) and the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT).

VoiceXML is the new lingua franca for telephony applications. All major players in this area are supporting the new standard. The VoiceXML Forum does an extremely efficient job when promoting it. In 2002, we have taken the challenge to offer an Free Software version of a VoiceXML implementation, named publicVoiceXML.
PublicVoiceXML is both, the name of a software package and the name of a trial project with European community radios, who have been evaluating VoiceXML technology through their umbrella organisation AMARC. Some of them, such as Vienna's community radio station Orange 94.0, have contributed to the user requirements phase and have been integrating VoiceXML into their content management and archiving system. PUBLIC VOICE Lab now OSalliance was the co-ordinator of this trial project, which started on March 1st 2002 and was lasting until August 2003. This trial activity was partially supported by the Information Society Technology Program of the European Commission as one out of seven Free Software lead projects.
Our objective was to provide a European showcase building business relations to the international telephony industry with Free Software. Within this project, we had customised a state-of-the-art software tool in close and intense co-operation with real users (several radio stations), stress tested it and passed a conformance test before publishing it to open source community.
PublicVoiceXML is an Free Software toolkit for developing voice services. Using the VoiceXML 2.0 standard, phone based applications can be easily built and connected to web or database services.
PUBLIC VOICE Lab now OSalliance was the project co-ordinator in this project as it has most expertise with the management EU funded projects. Being also a technological partner, we were responsible for the successful programming of the publicVoiceXML-browser, which was mostly done by an Indian software developer. Further, we are very active in the dissemination of VoiceXML at many national and international events. For information where you can meet us next, please contact Roland Alton-Scheidl.
We are now offering customised IVR solutions, based on PublicVoiceXML and Asterisk technology.

Q: Why was this unit test declared failed?
why does it say that 0 is not equal to 0 ?

A: It's a casting issue. count returns an NSUInteger and 0 is being assumed to be an NSInteger.  Cast your zero to unsigned by writing 0U or (NSUInteger)0.


Here's my (biased) opinion why you shouldn't.
If it's not your core competency, stick to what your good at and leave the scanning to a professional.
You will spend time, energy and resources training a person in your office to run the scanner… and then they leave to find greener pastures.
The scanner and technician will never be in the right place at the right time – they will be on a job in New York and now they're needed in Florida, or across town.
For every 1 field technician, you may need up to 6 post-processing support staff.
In 1-3 years your scanner will be outdated or obsolete and may need to be replaced.
Will your firm provide the support (financial, personnel, computers, software, scanner equipment, etc.) necessary to a department that is not a core competency?
Specialized software such as Cyclone, Kubit, Edgewise, etc., cost substantial dollars and take time to properly learn.
Technology, workflows and software are constantly evolving – if you're not doing this every day you can't be as efficient at it, nor stay up on the latest trends.
Very subtle technical details can have a major impact. Do you know the difference between U.S. Survey Feet and International Feet? Most people don't.
You can hire a service provider to do the field work while you're in the office concentrating on other revenue-producing tasks within your area of expertise.
Just as you do your job day in and day out, TruePoint does laser scanning every day and understands the subtle nuances. We have developed the most efficient workflows possible today and our team has pretty much seen every circumstance. Would you trust your job to just anyone or would you prefer it was handled by a professional that specializes in that field?
TruePoint completed 533 projects in 2016. We are a licensed engineering firm that focuses solely on laser scanning. Let us handle the scanning on your next project so you can focus on what your company does best.
TruePoint has provided laser scanning and modeling services for clients in many industries across the United States. We have worked with some of the best-known firms and companies. We are experienced in laser scanning industrial facilities, historic buildings, stadiums, hospitals, universities, municipalities, waste water treatment facilities and more – even new construction verifications. Our team of in-house scan technicians and engineers work with each client to develop an accurate understanding of the existing conditions and create custom deliverables, ranging from raw data to 2D drawings and 3D models.
Visit the CASE STUDIES page on our website to learn more about TruePoint's experience and added value.


Cocktail hour [cash bar] at 6 PM; dinner at 7 PM. The cost is $35 per person in advance [$40 at the door]. The NVPS Board will subsidize each person's fee to keep the price at $35. It will be a very fun evening. You will be able to pay by check, cash or Paypal through the NVPS website.

Is it Better When England are Rubbish?
February 2, 2014 by John Fuller
Following the recent Ashes and one day debacle in Australia, England cricket fan Graham Shorter takes a look at why a poor England is actually much more enjoyable for the army of armchair pundits.
England have just lost the ashes 5-0. A whitewash. A drubbing. Embarrassing. Brilliant.
Andy Flower was quoted soon after the final Test in Sydney talking about it feeling like the end of an era of English cricket.
It is indeed the end of an era for England; the end of a dull era of English domination in which routine victory followed routine victory, and followers were starved of genuine talking points and debate.
The winning era has seemingly already been replaced with a new dawn. The lifecycle has come full circle (as it probably always does in the end) and we are now entering an era of uncertainty; of question marks and of genuine debate about the way forward, as well as scathing criticism of the individuals in possession of England's key positions. We have returned to the nineties.
You see, whilst we were all outwardly celebrating England's rise to the top under Flower and Strauss, secretly it was pretty boring really. In England, and in Yorkshire, we are much more suited to complaining about failure than we are celebrating success (unless we have beaten Lancashire of course).
Since Flower took on the full time role as coach after the trip to the West Indies in 2009, and before the most recent ashes submission, England had played 17 Test match series. We won 12 and drew 3, losing only twice to Pakistan in the desert and home to South Africa.
On the face of it that is a spectacular record. In reality though, what does it give us to talk about? Not a great deal.
During that time, save for the odd isolated calamity or poor dismissal, all of which strangely involved KP (either an argument with Peter Moores or chipping one to mid wicket once again off the last ball of the day), there was no debate. What will the team be for the next Test inevitably yielded the answer: "same as the last Test."
Should we go in with four or five bowlers, who should be skipper, who should bat 3 – all with the usual answer of "same as last Test."
The biggest talking point the Sky commentators could find to focus on was Andrew Strauss's refusal to put a fourth slip in place even after the ball went through the gap to third man for the 16th time.
In August 2011, England became the top ranked Test team in the world. In his 50 Tests as captain, Andrew Strauss secured 39 wins or draws and a home and away Ashes series.
England were dominant. However, the criticism had dried up almost as much as the pitches we prepared for ourselves to play on last summer.
How quickly it all changes. I have had more genuine debates in the last few weeks with my teammates, work colleagues and family about the failings of English cricket, than the last few years combined.
It is genuinely much more interesting.
Even our friends at Sky and on the radio have revelled in this new era – the Ashes Verdict programmes have been devoted to picking a new England team.
We don't know who the coach will be next series. We don't know who the captain will be, and we don't even know whether our best player will be involved.
Aggers and Boycott visited the Royal Hall at Harrogate recently. An hour was ringfenced for discussing the ashes capitulation. What would they have talked about after 2010/11 – "We've bloody won again, stick of rhubarb, my mum could have caught that…"
This time round, within the new (circa nineties) era, they have a 5-0 whitewash to pick over. England's premier spin bowler gave up and went home, our number three bat had to return home and our most promising fast bowler has the yips and has been ruined.
Loads to discuss!
At the end of the nineties, England had become the worst ranked Test team in the world. We were at rock bottom.
Phil Tufnell was found leaning up against a cigarette machine in a pub in London. Nasser Hussain was booed at the Oval. Terrible you might think, but rich pickings for discussion, for debate, and for a chat in the pavilion after the game on a Saturday. Plenty to moan about.
That decade was characterised by an array of left field selections, poor performances and off the pitch incidents which, although apparently painful at the time, on reflection provided us with ammunition to occupy our thoughts.
Throughout that decade, England played 83 Test matches and only won 26 (ten of which were in losing series) – the knives were mostly out in the press and you didn't know from one game to the next who would be in the side.
At the pinnacle of England's failings, we can look at selections like Aftab Habib, Ed Giddins, James Ormond and Simon Brown, to entertain us. We were desperate, yes, but it led to a much more uncertain, exciting time to be an England follower.
If somebody bowled a leg break that pitched they were ready to be given a go in the Test side, take Chris Schofield and Ian Salisbury for example.
If a newcomer scored a run as well as taking a wicket they were the new Ian Botham. There were many of these, most notably Yorkshire's Darren Gough, but others included Dominic Cork, and (whisper it) Ronnie Irani.
Players would be dropped and re-picked multiple times, such as Graeme Hick and Mark Ramprakash. It was bedlam. Ray Illingworth wore a tracksuit to press conferences.
David Lloyd was once coach – this actually happened for those of you too young to remember – do a google search for "we flippin' murdered 'em."
Now it's happening all over again. The era is back. Scott Borthwick is a leggie, get him in. Ben Stokes is the new Ian Botham. Alistair Cook might quit, he might be sacked.
England Team Director Andy Flower has quit and he was wearing a tracksuit. We genuinely don't know who will be in the next squad.
Tymal Mills can bowl fast, get him in.
There is something to talk about again. We all have an opinion. We are all experts again. Thank goodness for that.
This is what it feels like when England are rubbish at cricket. Isn't it refreshing?

Recently, my best friend came to me for getting loan from me for buying new business stock and repaying debt. I have big attachment with him. He was pressuring on me because he knows that I love him deeply. But, he forgot, I take breath in accounting. Before giving money to anyone, I think about whether accounting facts allow me to do this or not. Whether my investment is safe or not.
Following are main reasons behind Accounting Facts are important than emotions which is production of other's mind and it is just input like film actor affects with his acting but in reality, he is just hero of the film. Reality is different what is in film.
Accounting facts will save your money because you can not invest money in a business which is already facing loss.
Accounting facts will give you eyes which is better for your money's growth. Emotion may be ignorance of your mind what you can not see. Today, your friend loves you because you have the money but tomorrow, he will hate you because you do not have the money. So, keep money always in your pocket because he will love to you always.
Money is best slave but it is bad master. So, if you want to keep this slave, you have to do work with money instead for money. Your best friend can give you greed of high return but accounting facts will save from it.
I am showing you the infographics of my friend's financial statement. After reading his balance sheet, I did not give loan to him.
Now, what I can expect my return on my given loan to my friend.
1. My friend has already taken loan 85% of his total assets and still, he is facing loss 30.8%. It means, he could not use the loan effective way. Now two major result from it.
a) Just he has 15% rest asset which is available but his demanding loan is more than this and I am feeling unsecured due to accounting fact.
b) Accounting facts also indicate, he does not know good selling skills or he is consuming loan for personal use. Due to lack of working capital, his losses are increasing. If he will use my loan for personal purpose, I can not do anything.
2. My friend's next 15% asset is not safe. Customer bought him at credit which is 10% of total asset. So, it is not necessary, he will get money from him. He may face bad debt. One of the reason of loss may be this. Second, 5% of total asset means raw material, he is taking on credit. It means if he will not pay the purchase price, creditor will claim first and I will only loss money because he has Zero asset for giving to me.
So, I leave this fake emotions and I did not give loan to my friend. If your friend is also trying to get money through his emotional effect, be aware from it. Learn Balance Sheet and or learn to make rough balance sheet of your friend and learn to read it and if it is showing that it is risky to your investment. Never give loan to your friend at any cost.

Review: Ponzi Scheme
By FarmerLenny on	 February 15, 2017 Featured Reviews
You've met with so many investors, it's hard to remember what exactly you've told each one you're selling. Real estate? Agriculture? Communications? Transportation? No matter. You've approached these investors because they don't ask a lot of questions. They are much less interested in what you're doing than in the promised payday you've said is on the way.
Of course, they don't know that the interest on their investments will be paid by other, later investors in your enterprise, who will in turn be paid by other investors, and so on. It all seems so manageable to keep the wheel turning. Until all of a sudden it isn't.
Think you can make a quick buck without going bankrupt? Enter the world of Ponzi Scheme.
Ponzi Scheme is an economic trading game for three to five players. Players are fraudsters luring investors with impossible promises, trying to build the most profitable shell companies. The player with the most points in industries (without going bankrupt) wins.
Ponzi Scheme set up for four players.
To begin, players receive an investment wheel, a time card, and a player screen. The starting investments are arranged on the investment board, and the investment deck is shuffled. The time card is placed by the arrow on each investment wheel. One player is given the start player marker.
A round follows several phases, and players play each in turn. In the first phase, players may take an investment and an industry tile. There are four kinds of industry tiles, and players must take an investment corresponding to the level of the industry they're taking. (For example, if it is the first industry of a type, they take from the top row; if the second, the middle; if the third, the bottom.) The investment is placed around their wheel according to the number on the investment, and the player receives cash equal to the big number, which is kept behind the player screen.
The player aids help players remember the small ruleset. These are nice to have, although the back of them (on market crashes) is hard to read because of the font color choices.
Once all players have taken an investment or passed, each player in turn order may conduct a clandestine trade. To conduct a clandestine trade, a player makes another player an offer on an industry they have in common. The player secretly places any amount of money in the trade wallet and passes it to the other player. The other player may either accept the money and give the offering player the industry tile or may match the amount of money in the wallet, taking the offering player's industry tile. (In the advanced game, instead of trading or passing, a player may invest in a luxury tile, which is worth guaranteed points at the end of the game.)
Once all players have conducted a clandestine trade or passed, the start player marker passes clockwise, and the new start player removes one card from the investment board, which is replaced from the deck. If there are bear cards equal to or greater than the number of players, the market crashes: each player loses one industry tile from the industry they have the most of, and they rotate their investment wheel two spaces. If there is not a market crash, each player rotates their wheel once. Any investments that the wheel has passed or is pointing at must now be paid interest. Once interest is paid, the investments move later on the wheel, to the number specified on the investment card, and a new round begins.
The best and worst funding cards in the game. The big number is how much money you get when you take the card. The small number tells you how much interest you have to pay each time it comes up on your wheel, and the number in the hexagon tells you how often you have to pay the loan. There is also a percentage that helps you see at a glance how much of the loan, essentially, you are paying back each turn.
The game ends whenever one or more players is unable to pay the interest on their loans. Any bankrupt players automatically lose. At that point, players score points for industry tiles and money leftover. The player with the most points wins.
Top of the Pyramid, or Bottom Feeder?
Ponzi Scheme is unlike any other game I've played. You walk in with almost a sense of despair: as soon as you take your first funding card, you realize that someone is going to go bankrupt. And a great deal of the game is in trying to ensure that that person is not you.
For some, this prospect might seem grim, or the relation to the actual Ponzi and his scheme might hit too close to home. For me, Ponzi Scheme strikes just the right balance between tense gameplay, transgressive theme, and gleeful social interaction to make an enjoyable experience each time it lands on the table. I think Ponzi Scheme is a hit.
The funding board in Ponzi Scheme. The board is arranged so the three smallest funding cards are always at the top, and the three biggest are always at the bottom.
At the start of the game, each player is looking at their investment wheel, thinking, I've got time to pay this off. The funding cards at the start of the game, while still charging exorbitant interest if you stop and think about it, carry a low financial burden compared to later cards, and you can become almost lackadaisical in your approach to repayment. Sure, add another loan to the wheel. I can handle it. As the game goes on, it becomes clearer and clearer just what a hole you've dug yourself into, and for each player, there's usually a point, a spot on their wheel, that they know is doomsday: when interest comes due at this exact point, there are no further opportunities to stay afloat. Bankruptcy is at the door. So the game is in timing this correctly so that your doomsday spot is after someone else's–and in making sure that you have more points than the other players who haven't gone bankrupt.
The new start player gets to remove a funding card from the board. If there are ever bear cards equal to the number of players (as in this case), the market crashes.
One of the most exciting things about Ponzi Scheme is clandestine trading, and the game's components help facilitate this. Clandestine trading is grueling because it is done in secret. You pass a wallet full of money to another player, and the other player decides whether to meet your offer or take the money. To offer a clandestine trade is to have skin in the game: you can't offer to buy something unless the other player is a competitor in the same industry. So at the end of it, you're going to come away either richer and less invested or poorer but with a larger stake in your shell company. So getting your trade right is tricky. If you offer too little, you'll get bought out. But if you offer too much, you'll be in a worse position for paying off interest and for fending off other investors when their turn for clandestine trading comes along. The fact that money is hidden in the game and that after the initial investment you can't keep track of it also heightens the tension here: it's hard to say what a good offer is and what another player would be willing to take. The other players' finances are a closed book, and since players aren't allowed to mention amounts of clandestine offers, even when someone takes the offer, you still don't know whether it was a good one.
Money is kept hidden behind each player's screen in Ponzi Scheme, making clandestine trading exciting each time it happens.
I like that the game funnels players toward clandestine trading. In my mainly Euro group, sometimes even if a game includes interactive elements, players will eschew them in favor of tending their own gardens. But there's no real way to avoid clandestine trading in Ponzi Scheme. The most industry tiles of a type that you can take through the funding board is three, and usually the level-three loans are unattractive. So the best way to grow your industry is to wrest it from someone else. This is also a balancing factor in the game: point-rich players are usually cash poor, so this gives the other players at least a chance to swing the game in their favor.
In one game I played, I was certain another player was hurting for cash, so I made a low-ball offer on one of his industry tiles. It turns out that my offer was too modest; he bought me out, and I had to cough up one of my tiles instead. Adding insult to injury, another player made an even more modest offer to the same player, and he was forced to accept it because he bought out my offer! The dynamics of the game are so interlocking that it's hard to parse with certainty what the best deal is and what another player will accept or reject.
This is purely an artistic rendering. In the game, the paper money is neatly hidden in the included wallet (which is an excellent component choice).
And that is one of Ponzi Scheme's greatest strengths. It's an economic game that doesn't devolve into endless calculations. Sure, it can devolve into calculations, but there's enough hidden information in the game to render excess calculations fruitless. This keeps the game moving at a brisk pace and places the agonizing decisions in players' hands: how far can they push their investments so they can be in the best position to win when the game ends?
The game is really pulling players in two directions: it's urging them toward a more conservative financial approach, since one player will go bankrupt before the game ends, and you don't want it to be you. But the game also urges players toward big risks: if you don't take enough high-income investments, you will get bought out through clandestine trades and will be unable to score the points you need to win the game. Further, the deeper you invest in an industry, the larger loan you have to take. All the decisions in the game hang somewhere between balancing these competing impulses. And what makes the game exciting is there's no way to know with absolute certainty whether your mix is going to carry the day.
"I've got plenty of time! These loans aren't so bad!"
A further way the game funnels players into interesting interactions is through its money. Money is worth either nothing (in the advanced game) or very little (in the basic game), so it behooves players to spend their money during the game, either by buying luxury tiles or through clandestine trades. The luxury tiles in the advanced game are interesting because they are a safe investment. Unlike industries, which are affected by market crashes and are the targets of clandestine trades, luxuries are set points that you cannot lose. However, in order to achieve the safe investment, you have to pay an exorbitant amount of money. This is fine if the game is ending and you have the cash to burn…but even here, it's probably better to buy out other players' tiles. Or is it? Money for luxuries is paid to the bank, whereas clandestine trade money goes into the opponent's coffers. By purchasing their points, you might be keeping them afloat for another round. Decisions, decisions!
Doomsday.
I said at the outset that Ponzi Scheme is like nothing I've played, and that's true. Mechanically speaking, it represents complex economic calculations in a fairly intuitive way. It's a strange blend of meaty economic game and raucous social game. The rules are simple, so it's easy to teach, but the decisions players have to make are tough. It's just that these decisions are often socially motivated: you can't ignore the other players. Even the decision to take a funding card and which one to take has consequences for the other players. It gives you new money to play with in the trading phase and gives you another industry tile, and it might allow you to stave off bankruptcy for another round. Taking a funding card might also add a bear to the market, meaning a crash is imminent (and you have to watch other players here, too: if you can weather the storm better than they can, it might be worth it to try to crash the market). I like that Ponzi Scheme keeps players looking into each other's eyes, and I also like that the rules are simple enough that conversation around the table is not only allowed but encouraged. It can sometimes take time for a player to come up with just the right clandestine trade offer, so it's good that the game creates a more conversational atmosphere. But it's also interesting when it's not your turn: watching clandestine trades is the best part of the game, especially when the person who receives the wallet doesn't make an immediate decision. Like Medici, Ponzi Scheme is about finding the right number to make the next person squirm.
Calculators are allowed…but unhelpful.
I think Ponzi Scheme is great, but I do have a few reservations about recommending it to everyone. First of all, Ponzi Scheme won't work right if players insist on calculating every penny. Ponzi Scheme, more than other economic games, needs to be played from the gut. That's not to say there isn't strategy or that all calculations are fruitless, but players need to realize the limitations of calculation in the game. The rules even speak to this: "You are free to use calculators, but that doesn't really help." All of this to say, if you play with players prone to analysis paralysis who will not move forward unless they're certain they've made the absolute best calculation…you might want to seek your fun elsewhere.
Ostentatious displays of wealth are encouraged…and retain their value.
Also, while I love Ponzi Scheme, I do wonder how much of this love is related to novelty. There's a certain love that comes with anything that's new or unique, so it's hard to say whether the glow around the box is because the game will always be fun or because I am currently enjoying discovering it. I suspect that because the game is so interactive and dynamic based on the different personalities at the table, the fun here is inherent in the game, but it's something to be aware of. The game offers such a different set of decisions from what I'm used to that it's hard to compare it to other games' longevity.
The components in Ponzi Scheme. Everything is on thick cardboard (except the paper money) and is practical, but the components won't make players stand up and take notice.
And the final thing to be aware of is the price. The game retails for $59.99 MSRP, and compared to other games at this price point, the components here are…just okay. That's not to say that what you get in the box is bad or isn't worth the price. The cardboard is thick, the cards are nice, and the wallet works great. Everything is functional, and there's a decent amount of cardboard–the box is heavy. It's just that making a lateral comparison to other games at this price point makes Ponzi Scheme look a little shabby. This doesn't bother me too much–gameplay-wise, I think the game is worth the price, and games are more than their components anyway. But while everything in this box works well and looks good enough, I don't think it will wow passers-by with the physical object. They might stop when they see the laughing and table talk, though.
The industry tiles and luxury tiles: the only way to score points in the game.
Ponzi Scheme advertises play with three to five players. I've played at all these counts, and while it works at all of them, I like the four- and five-player game a little better. There's less room to hide in the larger game (especially the five-player game: there is guaranteed potential for a clandestine trade on the first round!), and I think this game benefits from a the-more-the-merrier approach.
It's all about the Benjamins! Except it isn't. Money is worth very little (or nothing) at the end of the game. Channel that money into bogus industries, quick!
Ponzi Scheme is a surprise hit with me. It's a surprise in that while I expected to like it, I didn't expect to like it as much as I do. It's on the faster end of economic games (75-90m) and it's simple, making it something I can introduce at various groups and still play something else in an evening. While the rules are not complex, the interactions are, so I'd probably still recommend this one for experienced gamers. But for a light economic game, Ponzi Scheme offers lots of tense choices and fun interactions. It's one I intend to keep in my collection and rotation.
iSlaytheDragon would like to thank Tasty Minstrel Games for providing us with a copy of Ponzi Scheme for review.

God 'suffers' when believers injure, ignore those God loves, pope says
Catholic News Service Filed Under: Ecumenism and Interfaith Relations, News, Vatican, World News
ROME (CNS) — God suffers and grieves when those who profess to believe in him do not love the people he loves and do not work for the justice he desires, Pope Francis said.
"God suffers when we, who call ourselves his faithful ones, put our own ways of seeing things before his, when we follow the judgments of the world rather than those of heaven, when we are content with exterior rituals yet remain indifferent to those for whom he cares the most," the pope said in his homily Jan. 25 at an ecumenical evening prayer service.

Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox, Anglican and Protestant representatives joined the pope at Rome's Basilica of St. Paul Outside the Walls for vespers closing the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity. Members of the Ukrainian Council of Churches and Religions joined the mostly Rome-based religious leaders for the service.
The Vatican Dicastery for Promoting Christian Unity and the Commission on Faith and Order of the World Council of Churches entrusted the preparations of the 2023 week of prayer to a group convened by the Minnesota Council of Churches.
Acknowledging "the injustices perpetrated in the past against native peoples and in our own day against African Americans," Pope Francis said, the group chose as the theme for the week "Do good; seek justice" from Isaiah 1:17.
In the face of "various forms of contempt and racism, before indifference, lack of understanding and sacrilegious violence, the word of God admonishes us: 'Learn to do good, seek justice,'" the pope said. "It is not enough to denounce, we need also to renounce evil, to pass from evil to good."
"In other words," he said, God's "admonishment is meant to change us."
In Isaiah's time — and even today, the pope said, "it was generally thought that the rich, who made great offerings and looked down upon the poor, were blessed in God's eyes. Yet this was, and is, completely to misunderstand the Lord. It is the poor that Jesus proclaims blessed, and in the parable of the final judgment, he identifies himself with those who hunger and thirst, the stranger, the needy, the sick and those in prison."
Even more, Pope Francis said, God is offended by "sacrilegious violence," the violence of destroying another person, made in God's image and likeness.
"We can imagine with what suffering he must witness wars and acts of violence perpetrated by those who call themselves Christians," the pope said.
With all the knowledge people have of spirituality and theology, he said, "we have no excuses" to believe that God would want faith to be used to harm another.
"Still, there are those who appear to feel encouraged or at least permitted by their faith to support varieties of narrow and violent nationalism, xenophobia and contempt, and even the mistreatment of those who are different," the pope said.
In fidelity to God, he said, "we must be opposed to war, to violence and to injustice wherever they begin to appear."
Pope Francis prayed that St. Paul would "help us to change, to be converted; may he obtain for us something of his own indomitable courage."
Such courage is needed to continue on the path to full Christian unity, he said, and to overcome the temptations to be impatient or to focus only on the needs of one's own church.

Marvel's The Avengers
reviewed by Steve Vineberg June 10, 2012
Writer-director Joss Whedon, the creator of the TV series Buffy the Vampire Slayer, saves the world from destruction yet again in the first of the summer blockbusters, Marvel's The Avengers. The adventure is moderately enjoyable but rather exhausting.

If you haven't seen previous Marvel comic book movies—Iron Man and Iron Man 2, Thor and Captain America: The First Avenger—or if you've seen them but haven't retained the plot threads, it may take you half an hour or so to get your bearings.
Jun 27, 2012 issue
Beamed down on earth from the distant planet Asgard, Thor's megalomaniac brother Loki (Tom Hiddleston) steals a blue cube that can empower him to destroy the earth and rule the universe. So Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson), the leader of the secret spy and law enforcement agency known as S.H.I.E.L.D., brings together a quartet of superheroes to fight Loki: Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.), Captain America (Chris Evans), the Hulk (Mark Ruffalo) and Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson). Thor (Chris Hemsworth) joins the force as well. Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner), the fifth member of the crew, is placed under a spell by Loki and turned against his comrades.
The movie's distinctive quality is its ironic humor. The joke at the heart of Ruffalo's performance is that he's a brilliant doctor who has to keep himself in check because anger turns him into a Neanderthal with a penchant for smashing things up—yet the physical prowess available to him as the Hulk is the superpower he has to learn to harness. The film pits Iron Man, hipster playboy genius Tony Stark, against Captain America, straight-arrow World War II hero Steve Rogers—a mutually disdainful pair who have to learn to work together. Stark gets the movie's funniest lines; you can feel Whedon's delight in writing for Downey, who can do more with a joke than anyone since Groucho Marx. And Evans, who has a gift for making squareness comic, provides Downey with the ideal foil.
Renner unfortunately misses out on the fun. The role of a bewitched do-gooder gives him nothing to play, and when he snaps out of the spell, Whedon doesn't supply him with a character to slip into. And Loki is a standard-issue villain; he even talks in that dreadful faux-classical dialect Hollywood has fallen back on since Cecil B. DeMille.
A larger problem is the overscaled fight scenes. The movie goes on for nearly two and a half hours—a good 40 minutes too long—and more than half of this is taken up with epic combat sequences. They aren't done badly, but all that hardware and computer-generated imagery become mind-numbing after a while. In the climactic scene, the Avengers have to field multiple threats to the world's very existence. Then Whedon interrupts the end credits to prep us for a sequel. But what on earth can he whip up for an encore?
Captain America: The First Avenger
The latest of the Marvel comic book movies is smooth sailing from start to finish.

You have successfully replaced and installed your new A/C compressor into your Porsche A/C system. Do you think everything else stops after you have done that? The next thing you should actually do is recharge the system. Before you do so, however, you still need to follow some other important parts of the process that you cannot just neglect doing.
During this part of the installation process, you must make sure that gauges have been properly connected to the high and low pressure parts of the air conditioning unit. Evacuation works in the same manner as that when you vacuum the system. In the manifold gauges, you will find red and blue hoses which should be connected to the high and low pressure side, respectively. There is also another line, that which is yellow in color, which can be used in order to push things into and pull things out of the unit.
A special component is used when purging the system. This is called compressed nitrogen which is noted for helping easily check on leaks found in the unit. If you forgot to stock on compressed nitrogen, you can use deep system vacuuming methods as a substitute. Both are great for evacuating the moisture that has entered the unit.
Once air has been exhausted out of the unit, you can now lubricate the replacement A/C compressor. Putting an insubstantial amount of lubricants into the compressor will assure that the newly installed one will be able to carry on with its task. You need to establish how much of the oil is needed inside the system and replenish what has been lost accordingly. Turn the engine off during this part of the process.
Adding refrigerant to the compressor will now allow you to recharge the newly installed A/C system. Turn on the switch of the car after doing so and then proceed to turning on the temperature control knob so that it can be set to high while the fan has to be set into the low. Do not be afraid in case you have to allow the car to be idle for a couple of minutes. This will be of great help in permitting pressure and temperature to set in properly. When the A/C has reached its stabilization point then you can turn on the fan knob and switch to the highest possible setting.
Purge the line after opening the valve that contains the refrigerant. Place the coolant into the lower side of the manifold gauge. This process can be repeated to make sure that the entire system will be filled. But of course, that will depend upon the car's A/C system requirements.
You will need extreme patience in order to carry on this task. It is also important to order from providers of genuine Porsche parts like us to easily obtain a perfect fit. Never hesitate to ask questions regarding the things you will need in the entire process.

Internet freedom Tuesday
John Moe Feb 14, 2011
https://www.marketplace.org/2011/02/14/internet-freedom-tuesday/
Secretary of State Clinton will speak tomorrow at George Washington University.
From The Hill:
The speech is expected to criticize Egyptian authorities who tried to black out Internet and phone service during protests there this month.
Also on Tuesday, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee will release a report that criticizes the State Department's efforts to push forward efforts to bring Internet freedom to those who need it.
From AFP:
Congress has given the State Department $50 million for Internet freedom programs since fiscal 2008, the report said, but $30 million remains unspent and little has gone to Internet Censorship Circumvention Technology.
