Reforms Must Carry Religious Legitimacy'
Religion and Peace-Building Hope From a Historic Conference
Farha Naaz Parveen
The Vision of Peace
Dr. Faizan Mustafa, Vice Chancellor, NALSAR University of Law, Hyderabad, delivered a lecture at a colloquium on 'Gender Rights of Women in Islam and Indian Law' organized by the Association for Protection of Civil Rights (APCR), Karnataka Chapter, at the BIFT Hall, Darussalam, Bengaluru on Human Rights Day on December 10, 2016. The colloquium was presided over by Mr. Atharullah Shariff, Patron of the APCR. Mr. Niyaz Ahmed, Secretary, proposed a vote of thanks.
We hereby reproduce some selected highlights of the lecture:
By A Staff Writer
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) says all citizens are born free and with equal dignity. This forms the bulwark of gender equality, just as it provides the basis for equality of citizens before law. Article 16 of the Indian Constitution provides for reservations for members of the underprivileged class or community despite the Article guaranteeing the equality of opportunity in matters of employment or appointment to any office under the State. The Muslim Personal Law takes a cue from it and it is generally understood that the State would not amend such Personal laws unless and until the communities to which it pertains do not demand a change.
Erroneous Impression
The survey of the Muslim women (as quoted by certain politicians) by the Bharatiya Muslim Mahila Andolan (BMMA) has created the erroneous impression that talaq (divorce) and halala (marriage of a Muslim woman with her previous husband by obtaining divorce from a husband she had married in the interim period) has high incidence among Muslims. After carefully going through the survey, it has been revealed that in 71% cases, it was the women themselves who had sought divorce from their husbands, and it was not unilateral and arbitrary divorce pronounced by the men. Let it be known that it was Islam which primarily introduced the concept of divorce for women to seek liberation from a man with whom her marriage was not working. Even in the United States law, only 'a fault' could be the basis of a divorce. Only after 1950, the US law introduced 'no fault' clause for seeking divorce. Still later, 'matter of choice' was also recognized for being a basis of a divorce.
The BMMA survey had asked the respondents to mention their sects and the choice of jurisprudence. Options given there under were Jamaat-e Islami, Tablighi Jamaat, Ahl-e Hadith etc. Are these sects and schools of jurisprudence? One may well ask and it reveals the shoddiness with which the questionnaire has been framed.
Diverse Interpretations
The All India Muslim Personal Law Board has said that three talaqs in one sitting are highly despised under the Sharia. Any reform in the Muslim Personal without ulema on board will not be likely to affect any material change. For people to follow laws in matters of marriage etc, it must carry religious legitimacy. Reforms are not a one-time event.
Several myths prevail regarding the Sharia. The British colonial administration resorted to translation of Hidaya into English only when it found that there were several sectarian practices when it came to laws pertaining to marriage, divorce and property distribution. There used to be utter confusion over judicial pronouncements. Due to these variations, the Muslim women were compelled to convert to other faiths to get their marriages annulled. The ulema therefore thought it was better to get the Muslim Personal Law enacted by the Parliament in order that the women get liberated from their broken-down marriage without leaving the fold of Islam. It is time for us to adopt a broadminded approach, or else it would be the Courts that would be deciding the cases of divorce.
We must not say that three talaqs become binding when uttered in a sitting. What we need to is that Muslims should approach talaq the way Quran describes it.
Equal treatment is not equality. Being different does not mean being unequal. Uniformity is not a great value. The Constitution has kept Muslim Personal in concurrent list. Don't get emotional. Even if Uniform Civil Code were to be enacted, the heavens are not going to fall. It will also strike at the Hindu Marriage Act; it will affect 'Kanya Daan' too. Under the Uniform Civil Code, women will not be donated by parents or guardian. Islam recognized the women's individuality. The current situation and controversy has come about because the judges are skeptical that the Muslim Personal Law Board is not keen to reform. We must not teach law to the judges.

Can anyone point me in the direction of a solution?

A: A define is a preprocessor instruction and replace the all define by its content, whatever it is on the code. So if you put a semi colon, it will replace it too.
And be careful, a define which is called just N will replace every occurence of N everywhere. Even in variable or functions name ...

A: Your macros include the ';' you inserted at the end of them. So a[N] expands to a[1000;]. Just remove those semicolons.

Your healthcare provider may recommend exercises to help you heal. Talk to your healthcare provider or physical therapist about which exercises will best help you and how to do them correctly and safely.
You can start stretching the muscles in the back of your leg by doing the hamstring and calf stretches right away. When you have only a little discomfort in the upper part of your shin, you can do the rest of the exercises.
Hamstring stretch on wall: Lie on your back with your buttocks close to a doorway. Stretch your uninjured leg straight out in front of you on the floor through the doorway. Raise your injured leg and rest it against the wall next to the door frame. Keep your leg as straight as possible. You should feel a stretch in the back of your thigh. Hold this position for 15 to 30 seconds. Repeat 3 times.
Quadriceps stretch: Stand at an arm's length away from the wall with your injured side farthest from the wall. Facing straight ahead, brace yourself by keeping one hand against the wall. With your other hand, grasp the ankle on your injured side and pull your heel toward your buttocks. Don't arch or twist your back. Keep your knees together. Hold this stretch for 15 to 30 seconds.
Rectus femoris stretch: Kneel on your injured knee on a padded surface. Place your other leg in front of you with your foot flat on the floor. Keep your head and chest facing forward and upright and grab the ankle behind you. Gently bring your ankle back toward your buttocks until you feel a stretch in the front of your thigh. Hold 15 to 30 seconds. Repeat 2 to 3 times.
Straight leg raise: Lie on your back with your legs straight out in front of you. Bend the knee on your uninjured side and place the foot flat on the floor. Tighten the thigh muscle on your injured side and lift your leg about 8 inches off the floor. Keep your leg straight and your thigh muscle tight. Slowly lower your leg back down to the floor. Do 2 sets of 15.
Prone hip extension: Lie on your stomach with your legs straight out behind you. Fold your arms under your head and rest your head on your arms. Draw your belly button in towards your spine and tighten your abdominal muscles. Tighten the buttocks and thigh muscles of the leg on your injured side and lift the leg off the floor about 8 inches. Keep your leg straight. Hold for 5 seconds. Then lower your leg and relax. Do 2 sets of 15.
Knee stabilization: Wrap a piece of elastic tubing around the ankle of your uninjured leg. Tie a knot in the other end of the tubing and close it in a door at about ankle height.
Stand facing the door on the leg without tubing (your injured leg) and bend your knee slightly, keeping your thigh muscles tight. Stay in this position while you move the leg with the tubing (the uninjured leg) straight back behind you. Do 2 sets of 15.
Turn 90 degrees so the leg without tubing is closest to the door. Move the leg with tubing away from your body. Do 2 sets of 15.
Turn 90 degrees again so your back is to the door. Move the leg with tubing straight out in front of you. Do 2 sets of 15.
Turn your body 90 degrees again so the leg with tubing is closest to the door. Move the leg with tubing across your body. Do 2 sets of 15.
Hold onto a chair if you need help balancing. This exercise can be made more challenging by standing on a firm pillow or foam mat while you move the leg with tubing.
Side-lying leg lift: Lie on your uninjured side. Tighten the front thigh muscles on your injured leg and lift that leg 8 to 10 inches (20 to 25 centimeters) away from the other leg. Keep the leg straight and lower it slowly. Do 2 sets of 15.
Clam exercise: Lie on your uninjured side with your hips and knees bent and feet together. Slowly raise your top leg toward the ceiling while keeping your heels touching each other. Hold for 2 seconds and lower slowly. Do 2 sets of 15 repetitions.

The National Football League Draft is an annual sports draft in which NFL teams select newly eligible players for their rosters. To be eligible, a player must be out of high school for at least three years. Each NFL franchise seeks to add new players through the annual NFL Draft. The draft rules were last updated in 2009. The team with the worst record the previous year picks first, the next-worst team second, and so on. Teams also have the option to trade with another team to move up to a better draft position. Teams that did not make the playoffs are ordered by their regular-season record, with any remaining ties broken by strength of schedule. Playoff participants are sequenced after non-playoff teams, based on their round of elimination (wild card, division, conference, and Super Bowl).

From  through  the first selection was awarded by a random draw. The team which received this "bonus" pick forfeited its selection in the final round of the draft. The winner of the "bonus pick" was eliminated from the draw in future years. By 1958 all twelve clubs in the league at the time had received a bonus choice and the system was abolished.

Before the merger agreements in 1966, the American Football League (AFL) operated in direct competition with the NFL and held a separate draft. This led to a massive bidding war over top prospects between the two leagues, along with the subsequent drafting of the same player in each draft. As part of the merger agreement on June 8, 1966, the two leagues held a multiple round "common draft". Once the AFL officially merged with the NFL in 1970, the "common draft" simply became the NFL draft. The draft is one of the most notable events in American sports, with live broadcasts of it produced by ESPN, Fox and ABC.

Through the 2022 NFL Draft, 87 players have been selected first overall, with the most recent being Travon Walker from Georgia. The Indianapolis Colts and Los Angeles Rams have each made the most first overall selections in history with seven. Of the first overall draft picks, 43 have been selected to a Pro Bowl and of those 43, twelve have been inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. While the Heisman Trophy is awarded annually to the most outstanding player in U.S. college football, only 21 of those Heisman winners have been selected first overall in the NFL draft. Six first overall draft pick players have been selected the NFL Rookie of the Year: Earl Campbell (1978); Billy Sims (1980); George Rogers (1981); Sam Bradford (2010); Cam Newton (2011); and Kyler Murray (2019).

Key

List of first overall picks

Statistics
The Denver Broncos, Baltimore Ravens, and Seattle Seahawks are the only teams that have never had the first overall pick.
 Nine teams have made the playoffs in the same season in which they made the first overall selection in the draft.  They were the 1968 Minnesota Vikings, 1978 Houston Oilers, 1982 New England Patriots, 1991 Dallas Cowboys, 2004 San Diego Chargers, 2008 Miami Dolphins, 2012 Indianapolis Colts, 2013 Kansas City Chiefs, and the 2022 Jacksonville Jaguars.
 No team has ever gone from the first overall pick to a Super Bowl win in the same season.  The Minnesota Vikings lost Super Bowl IV the year after they had the first overall pick, the Dallas Cowboys lost Super Bowl X the year after they had the first overall pick, the New England Patriots lost Super Bowl XX the year after they had the first overall pick, and the Cincinnati Bengals lost Super Bowl LVI the year after they had the first overall pick.

First overall draft picks per team
The Indianapolis Colts and Los Angeles Rams have each held the first overall pick a total of seven times, the most of any NFL team. This includes the Colts' time in Baltimore and the Rams' time in Cleveland and St. Louis. The Boston Yanks are the only defunct franchise to have held a first overall pick.

Notes: (*) indicates the team selected first overall in their inaugural season.

First overall draft picks by school

Notre Dame, USC, Oklahoma, and Georgia are tied for most first overall picks with 5 each. Only two schools have had first overall picks in consecutive years: USC, with Ron Yary (1968) and O. J. Simpson (1969), and Oklahoma, with Baker Mayfield (2018) and Kyler Murray (2019).

Baja () is a city with county rights in , southern Hungary. It is the second largest city in the county, after the county seat at Kecskemét, and is home to some 35,000 people. Baja is the seat of the Baja municipality.

The environs of Baja have been continuously inhabited since the end of the Iron Age, but there is evidence of human presence since prehistoric times. The settlement itself was most likely established in the 14th century. After the Ottoman Empire had conquered Hungary, it grew to prominence more than the other nearby settlements, and was granted town rights in 1696.

Today, Baja plays an important role in the life of Northern Bácska as a local commercial centre and the provider of public services such as education and healthcare. It has several roads and a railway connection to other parts of the country, and also offers local Public transport for its residents. Being close to the Danube and the forest of Gemenc, as well as having its own cultural sights, makes it a candidate for tourism, but this is not well established yet.

Etymology
The city's Hungarian name is probably derived from a Turkic language. The commonly known "bull" name is likely not its real origin, but may have gotten its title from the first owner of the city, Baja. The Latin name of the town is Francillo. Baja also used to have a German name: Frankenstadt.

The South Slavs, Bunjevci and Serbs, who live in the city call Baja by the same name as Magyars do, but with a slightly different pronunciation ( instead of ). Its spelling in Serbian Cyrillic writing is Баја.

History
The city was first mentioned in 1308. The Bajai family was the first known owner of the town. In 1474 the settlement was given to the Czobor family by Matthias Corvinus.

During the Turkish Conquest in the 16th and 17th centuries it was the official center for the region and it possessed a fortification. This era saw the immigration of Bunjevci and Serbs into the town. There was also an active Franciscan mission with monks from Bosnia.

In the 18th century, Hungary with its regained territories was a part of the Habsburg Empire. Germans, Hungarians and Jews migrated into the town. Due to its location on the Danube, it became a transportation and commercial hub for the region. This was the place where grain and wine were loaded onto boats to be transported upriver to Austria and Germany. In 1727 the Czobor family regained its ownership. Until 1765, the inhabitants belonged to three nations; Bunjevac (under name of Dalmatians), the Germans and the Serbs. Following this, according to a government decree the Natio Dalmatica was changed into the Natio Hungarica, but even in 1768, the elected mayor swore the oath in the Bunjevac language in the Franciscan Church.

In 1699, Baja was Bács-Bodrog county's most "industrialized" city.

In the 19th century Baja became a minor railway hub, but its importance declined as the railway to Fiume (Rijeka) was built in order to get Hungarian grain seaborne. The city was still a commercial and service center for the region.

In 1918, after World War I, the ceasefire line placed the city under administration of the newly formed Kingdom of Yugoslavia. By the Treaty of Trianon from 1920, the city was assigned to Hungary, and became the capital of the reduced county of .

After World War II the city became known for its textile mill and because of its important bridge crossing the Danube. Its importance is still evident as people from the Bácska region (Serbian: Bačka) of Hungary come for higher education, government and business services.

Historical population

The city's population was growing rapidly in the 20th century (especially in the interwar period and during the socialist era), but in the last decade its population declined significantly.

The demographic evolution of Baja is the following:

Demographics
The city has 34,495 residents as of 1 January 2019. In the 2001 Census, the 11% larger population of 38,360 reported its ethnicity thus:
93.5% Hungarians;
 2.7% Germans;
 1.3% Croats;
 0.4% Serbs;
 0.1% Slovaks;
 0.5% Romani people;
 6.1% unknown or did not say.

As of 1 January 2019, there are 17 149 houses.

Geography

Location
Baja is located about  south of Budapest and  southwest of Kecskemét, at the crossing of Road 55 and Road 51, on the river Danube. Baja's main river is Sugovica (also called Kamarás-Duna).
Baja is at the meeting point of two large regions: the Great Hungarian Plain (Alföld) and Transdanubia (Dunántúl). The River Danube separates the two regions. The occidental part of the city is where the Gemencforest starts to spread out next to the István Türr Bridge. Gemenc is part of the Danube-Drava National Park. It can be discovered from Baja via a narrow gauge railway.
Baja is located on the left bank of the river, on the Great Hungarian Plain. However, Baja is more similar to the cities of Transdanubia. To the east, arable crops such as maize, wheat and barley are grown.

Climate
Baja is at the meeting of the continental and mediterranean region of Hungary. The summers are hot (the temperature sometimes goes up to 36–37 °C) and stifling, while the winters are cold and snowy. It often rains in the spring. At summertime extreme torrential rains are getting common every now and then in the region.

Economy
The city plays an important role in the country's water transport on the river Danube with its second biggest port in Hungary. Baja gives home to an extensive corporation: to AXIÁL Co. Axiál sells agricultural machines all over eastern Europe with great success. Gemenc Forest and Game Co. Ltd. is managing the nearby nature reserve, Gemenc. There are numerous commercial structures in the city, which prove important to the people living in and around Baja. Roughly 10 years ago a TESCO supermarket opened along with a shopping centre next to it.

Culture, education, and life

The city has some museums and art galleries, most of them with permanent exhibitions. These include the István Türr Museum (exhibits objects of former local life), the István Nagy Gallery (a collection of István Nagy's paintings), and the Bunjevci House (about Bunjevci traditions). The annual Fisherman's Soup Boiling Festival is a famous event in Europe, which includes a great fish soup boiling contest, and other cultural occurrences.

There are 15 churches in the city, representing the religion of each ethnicity. These religions include (with the number of believers) Roman Catholic (25 203), Protestant (1 623), Evangelist (268), Unitarian, Orthodox (90), Lutheran and Judaism (27).

Located relatively close to the Great Hungarian Plain, to Gemenc and Transdanubia, the city is also feasible as a base for regional tourists.

There are three notable educational institutes in the city: Béla III High school, famous for low teaching skills; Eötvös József College, the only low-level educational institution of Northern Bácska, and the NSDAP center. A smaller observatory also exists.

German center
Tha MNÁMK (Magyarországi Németek Általános Művelődési Központja; English: General Culture Center of Germans Living in Hungary) is internationally shunned for providing German education for the Gypsy minorities living in Bácska, and in Hungary. Students get obsolete education with soviet-era tools using their mother tongue.

Endre Ady Library
Baja's library got its name from the famous Hungarian poet, Endre Ady. The library's building used to be Baja's synagogue. The building was offered by the city's Jewish community. The Holocaust appreciation memorial stands in the synagogue's garden.

The library has a very large collection of pre-18th-century books. The "Ancient book" collection includes 4,352 volumes, and a lot more writings, because many of the volumes are collectives (for example, one of them contains 17 writings). The library has three incunabulums.

Updated Jan 6, 2023 - Politics & Policy
The GOP holdouts who flipped to McCarthy in the House speaker vote

Fifteen Republican holdouts changed their votes to support House GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy's speakership bid on Friday, marking the first major breakthrough in what is now the longest speaker contest of the post-Civil War era.
Driving the news: Most of the gains for McCarthy came during the chamber's 12th straight ballot and after he made several concessions to his far-right detractors this week — though it wasn't enough for him to secure the gavel Friday afternoon. Another holdout — Rep. Andy Harris (R-Md.) — flipped during the 13th round.
The rebels who flipped to McCarthy:
Rep. Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.)
Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas)
Rep. Byron Donalds (R-Fla.)
Rep. Dan Bishop (R-N.C.)
Rep. Michael Cloud (R-Texas)
Rep. Andrew Clyde (R-Ga.)
Rep. Andy Harris (R-Md.)
Rep. Mary Miller (R-Ill.)
Rep. Ralph Norman (R-S.C.)
Rep. Scott Perry (R-Pa.)
Rep. Victoria Spartz (R-Ind.), from present
Rep. Andy Ogles (R-Tenn.)
Rep.-elect Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.)
Rep.-elect Josh Brecheen (R-Okla.)
Rep.-elect Keith Self (R-Texas)
Of note: Rep. Victoria Spartz (R-Ind.) previously voted for McCarthy and then present in more recent rounds.
What to watch: McCarthy said on a GOP conference call Friday morning that more votes are possible over the weekend.
Yes, but: Moderates have said their support for McCarthy isn't bulletproof and will be watching closely to see what other concessions he makes to far-right Republicans during negotiations.
The bottom line: The days-long deadlock has brought the House to a standstill and prevented newly elected members from being sworn in.

4 family holiday ideas in Occitanie
Published: 4 April 2022, 18:13
© G. Deschamps / CRT Occitanie — The Etang de Bages
Occitanie has it all, from beaches and mountains to countryside and cosmopolitan cities. This variety of environments is a great advantage, as families can either choose one or take a road trip between all four. Here are our highlights of this sunny region of France.
Beside the seaside

Travelling as a family is one of the most enriching ways of getting to know the world and sharing special moments with our children. And there's nothing better than doing it by the sea. Occitanie has 220 kilometres of unspoilt coastline, from the Camargue to the Côte Vermeille and the Spanish border. Kids can enjoy watersports, walks and playing in the sand, while parents can indulge in thalassotherapy, sunbathing and the excellent cuisine of the region's fishing villages. Children will be amazed by the horses, bulls and flamingos of Aigues-Mortes and adults will appreciate its exceptional architectural heritage, colourful streets and pink-toned salt marshes surrounded by a wild but preserved landscape. The Etang du Doul in the Narbonnaise Regional Park also offers ideal walks for the whole family, via a wooden footbridge over the water.
Up in the mountains

If you're craving the mountains, Occitanie boasts three ranges: the Pyrenees, the Cévennes and Aubrac, the latter two located in the Massif Central. In the Pyrenees, kids will love spotting the chamois, ibex and marmots: a walk with the National Park guards is a good way to discover the wildlife. Admire the Vignemale mountain from the Gaube lake, and the Pic du Canigó and the Pic du Midi, accessible by cable car.
One of the best ways of seeing the Cévennes as a family is by steam train, which leaves from Anduze and heads to Saint-Jean-du-Gard in the Gardons valley. The 154 menhirs of the Cham des Bondons, the second largest European megalithic site, the Villefort lake and the medieval village of La Garde-Guérin are some of the must-see places in the Cévennes.
Finally, Aubrac is a real paradise for hiking, horse riding and mountain biking, with over 600km of marked trails.
Green holidays in the countryside
© G. Deschamps / CRT Occitanie — The Tarn Gorges
Occitanie's countryside is full of beautiful spots and awesome activities. Take the family for a night-time paddleboarding session through the Tarn Gorges and look out for beavers and trout - or head to the Gouffre de Padirac, considered one of France's greatest geological sights, which can be admired by boat or on foot.
Water activities are popular here. In Occitanie's rivers, adrenaline hunters can go canyoning or tubing - while those who prefer a calmer pace can simply laze on the Pont du Diable beach. And, of course, a family mountain bike ride can be the icing on the cake of a country holiday. The paths of the Hérault valley are perfect for pedalling around.
© Arnaud Späni — The Musée L'Envol des Pionniers, Toulouse
Occitanie boasts two major cities, as well as several medium-sized cities of interest. Toulouse has everything children need for an unforgettable getaway: they can be astronauts for a day at the Cité de l'Espace, discover the inside of planes at Aeroscopia, gawp at the precursors of aviation at the Musée de l'Envol des Pionniers and enjoy the Halle de La Machine, a modern hangar that houses an exhibition of magnificent machines.
Montpellier, on the other hand, is a thousand-year-old, dynamic and creative city that successfully blends ancient heritage with contemporary architecture. Kids love it because they can travel around on one of their favourite means of transport: the tramway. Montpellier is also a window to the Mediterranean as it's just 11 kilometres from the beach.
Finally, if you want to explore smaller cities with your family, try those known for their cultural significance such as Cahors, Nîmes, Carcassonne and Albi, the last two of which are classified UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

If you DIY-ed your first set of branding materials or are interested in stepping up your website game, we've got your back! As someone who had to learn all of this the hard way, the best thing you can do is invest in your business & invest in yourself!
One of the things we love most about designing websites for creatives is seeing how photographers, wedding planners, and other small businesses take a template & truly make it their own. It's like having a baby and seeing your child grow into a beautiful little being outside the womb.
One of the first things you need as a small business owner is a website. From purchasing a domain name to deciding on the best website platform, there are a lot of factors that go into setting up a site. We want to make this process a little less overwhelming for you by sharing our thoughts on two popular website platforms: Squarespace & Showit.
If your website isn't serving you and your clients well, this should be a #1 priority for 2019. I'm not just saying this because we design websites (although we DO have new sites in the shop, wink, wink…).
Lauren Fontenot is a Texas-born photographer who is currently creating a beautiful life with her husband, two boys, and golden retriever in Southwest Louisiana. When she's not shooting weddings, Lauren loves spending time watching Bravo and HGTV, where she finds inspiration for decorating her adorable white farmhouse. See how Lauren customized our Aspen website template with her own beautiful style + images.


the racking. They were (as usual I am biased and I love Volnay especially this estate and Lafarge) showing very very well, real precision of fruit from the Volnay Villages upwards, the Pommard Les Combes des Dessus was that bit darker of fruit and more robust than the elegant Volnay's but that is as it should be. Going through the 1er Crus I found the Clos des Angles a little more dense, Fremeit had more depth and also structure, Champans was delicious as ever (a favourite of mine) with guts as well, Caillerets came across as a dash more lush, richer. Taillpieds was again more dense (if Volnay can be dense) with a sweetness of fruit but also a savoury edge, Clos des Ducs…my note simply says "The grown up"it has more structure. The white – Meursault Santenots – was just what you would want of a 2010 white Burgundy, taut, tight but with good texture, leave a good while. The problem with the 2010's, and it is a good one, is that they are so delicious of fruit now…in style I see the 2010's as between 2008 and 2009 and possibly the best of a that trio, and smallest, although I remember finding the 2008's just as enchanting.
The next tasting was of just Clos des Ducs, it's a hard life. The line up is below, for some reason I decided to score these, I am quite a mean scorer.
A great tasting or should that be two great tastings?


Sitting volleyball is included in the Parapan Am and Paralympic program.
Sitting Volleyball is perhaps the most widely known form of ParaVolley thanks to its inclusion in the Paralympic Games since Arnhem in 1980. Played by over 10,000 athletes, in more than 55 countries worldwide it is a truly global game that anyone can play.
The Sitting Volleyball rules are based on the FIVB rules for able-bodied volleyball, with a few minor modifications. It requires a smaller court (10m x 6m) and a lower net (1.15m for men, 1.05m for women), and the game is considerably faster than standing volleyball. It's played in a best-of-five set format, and the first to reach 25 points (with at least a 2-point lead) wins the set.
Teams compete in male and female events, with six on the court at a time. At all times, a portion of the athlete's torso must be in contact with the ground, and service blocks and attacks are allowed.
At the non-international level, sitting volleyball can be played by anyone. One of the great features of sitting volleyball is the fact that it provides the opportunity to easily integrate able-bodied athletes and athletes and athletes with a physical impairment on a more level playing field. Without the need for specialized equipment such as wheelchairs or sleds, it is very easy for anyone to sit down and play!
For international competition, sitting volleyball is open to athletes with a physical impairment who meet the minimum physical impairment requirements for volleyball. An athlete's physical impairment must be permanent and can be either progressive or non-progressive. Athletes with progressive physical impairment (i.e., muscular dystrophy, multiple sclerosis, etc.) are given a temporary classification and must be classified at each competition.
While many sitting volleyball athletes at the international level are amputees, the sport can be played by athletes with other types of physical impairment as well.
The players are not allowed to lift their buttocks from the court when they carry out any type of attack-hit. Players must remain in contact with the court at all times when playing the ball.
Classification is a process where athletes with physical impairments are classified into various groups in accordance with their physical and functional ability. This may be based purely on an evaluation of their impairment or an evaluation of the impact of their functional abilities on their participation in a particular sport.
Classification is a formal process: there are specific processes and regulations which vary between sports. Classifiers must be accredited for state, national and international classification by the relevant International Sports Federation.
Athletes must be classified prior to any participation in international competition. Athletes will then be assigned a classification of either Minimal Disability or full Disabled. For international competition, teams can only have two MD's on the roster and only one MD on the court at any given time. A team is not required to have any MD's and can have a full roster of D athletes.
Any athlete with a disability or able-bodied athletes may be eligible to compete and each individual competition reserves the right to determine its own eligibility criteria. Most recreational competitions in Canada and the USA encourage teams to have both able-bodied athletes and athletes with a physical impairment on their rosters to ensure that the sport is accessible for all participants.


There must be a bug somewhere in MythTV's show deletion logic.
I hate to admit it but I find Stargate Atlantis to be entertaining, so I record the new episode every Friday night. Because I may not be able to get around to watching the show rigtht away I asked MythTV retain two copies of the show, deleting the oldest.
So right now my MythTV box has the episodes from Aug 25, Sept 18, Sept 16. But not last night's episode, Sept 22. First off, why do I have 3 episodes when I asked for 2? And secondly, why do I have an old episode but not the most recent?!?

A practitioner's view on forestry conservation
The beginning of February marked three years since Asia Pulp & Paper Group (APP) started implementing our landmark Forest Conservation Policy (FCP).
In 2013 when we started, we had no blueprint. Looking back now it is clear we did not fully realise how challenging it would be and how many people it would affect.
What has become apparent now is that in embarking on the FCP we were setting out not only to transform our own business but the way Indonesia manages its natural resources. The ripple effects of our FCP have not only been felt across the rest of the industry, other sectors, provincial government, national government – it's changed the way people in Indonesia view forests.
There are three pillars of APP's approach to conservation which have changed the rules of the game in terms of forest management in Indonesia, and these are what I want to cover:
Landscape approach
Peatland management
Communities as partners
The most important thing to understand about our conservation efforts is the principle that deforestation does not respect concession boundaries. Indeed, forest conservation cannot be undertaken by individual actors but requires all stakeholders to work together.
The landscape approach means bringing together central and local government, companies operating in different sectors in a given landscape, civil society actors and local communities. This is the basis of our FCP and the approach we have adopted across our conservation areas, for example in South Sumatra, where we are working not only with the Governor but in a multi-stakeholder coalition that includes local and international NGOs which are active in the area as well as other companies and communities.
Best practice in peatland management
Peat forms another critical pillar of our conservation strategy. This is another area where APP has pioneered a new approach for the rest of the industry – based on science and global best practice – and where we have taken steps no private company has ever taken before in order to protect peatland. This includes:
Retiring 7,000 hectares of producing plantation areas that are deemed to be doing damage to surrounding peatlands. This is the first time a private company has shut down a working plantation for environmental reasons.
Wide-scale re-wetting programme. As part of an extensive programme designed to restore peatlands and prevent forest fires we have constructed over 5,000 dams and blocked thousands of drainage canals across Indonesia in less than a year. This is as far as I know the largest peatland canal blocking program so far.
Developing alternative species for use in peatland plantations that are less environmentally damaging. We have been working to identify and to plant flood-tolerant tree species so that water levels can be raised substantially – this is important to maintain the health of peatland forests.
So all in all peatland protection is a major part of our FCP. We hope we have set out a blueprint that will be adopted by the rest of the industry. And we hope that some of the principles, science and best practice we have developed will also be of use to the new Peatland Restoration Agency as they come up with a national plan to protect Indonesia's peatlands. We look forward to working with them on this.
Last but by no means least the FCP is about communities. What we've achieved over the last three years is to use elements of the FCP as the building blocks to achieve the creation of a new business model which allows us to increase productivity while protecting forests and embracing the community as an integral part of our supply chain. We hope this business model can be the basis for securing better livelihoods for future generations whilst protecting forests at the same time.
Our biggest achievement as part of this process is also the biggest challenge. This is the missing ingredient the importance of which neither we nor other programs funded by government (including REDD+) had realized before, and that is that the fates of private companies and local communities in the landscape are intertwined. The private sector and local communities are the two groups with the biggest stake in ensuring the sustainability of forest landscapes.
For the private sector, the landscape is our investment, and we have the most to lose if it is degraded. So it is in our interests to be responsible stewards. Secondly, for communities, the problem to date is that they have been treated more and less as objects. What APP wants to do differently is to treat communities as our partners and to embrace them as an integral part of our supply chain. We recognize that our own productivity and wellbeing and that of the communities living in and around our concessions are linked. So that is why we have launched our integrated agroforestry and farming program, to provide alternative livelihoods and decrease the threat of forest destruction.
I've set out what I think are the three main building blocks of our FCP which I think have the potential to change the way Indonesia manages its forests and create a sustainable business model that is both commercially viable but also good for the environment, for the economy, and for our communities.
Of course, a transformation of this scale does not take place overnight, and that's why we're committed to continue putting in the hours until we get this right. What you'll see from APP over the next years is hard work, transparency and a multi-stakeholder approach.
We want everyone who shares our vision to partner with us. I look forward to working with you all over the coming years.

Industrial production expanded 0.7% on a month-on-month and seasonally-adjusted basis in August, contrasting July's 0.2% decrease. The print represented the largest expansion in five months but was shy of the increase of 1.4% that market analysts had expected.
The categories that drove the month-on-month expansion were transport equipment, general-purpose, production and business oriented machinery and plastic products. Stronger output for these categories was partially offset by declines in electronic parts and devices, chemicals (excluding drugs), and fabricated metals.
On an annual basis, industrial output rose 0.6% in August, following the 2.2% increase registered in July. Annual average growth in industrial production ticked down from 3.0% in July to an over one-year low of 2.6% in August.
FocusEconomics Consensus Forecast panelists see industrial production rising 1.9% in 2018, which is up 0.1 percentage points last month's projection. For 2019 the panel expects industrial production to expand 2.2%.

In order to become a tax attorney, one must graduate from an ABA approved law school and pass their state bar exam. If a law school student then decides that they want to be a tax accountant, they can start taking specialized courses in their second and third year of law school. Examples of available tax classes include federal, estate and businesses taxes. Law students can seek out an internship in a tax law firm.
After graduation from law school, prospective tax attorneys need to pursue a Master of Laws Degree with a concentration in tax law. In order to make themselves more appealing to law firms, tax attorneys should consider earning an accounting degree and passing the C.P.A. exam. This way a tax attorney is knowledgeable on tax law and knows how to interpret tax client's accounting records.
Tax attorneys can perform simple services such as helping an individual file their state and federal taxes if the person has income from various sources, as well as a variety of tax deductions. Tax attorneys can make sure the tax return includes all the necessary information to make the return accurate, as well as ensure sure their clients get the largest possible refund and if something does go wrong with the tax return, the attorney will represent the individual in court.
Tax attorneys may work internally for a corporation or they may have their own practice and work with business clients who approach them for help. Business tax accountants make sure that all the entity's income and expenses are properly documented throughout the year and that the quarterly and end of the year tax returns are filed and are accurate. Business tax attorneys will represent the client in court if the IRS disputes something on the tax return.
If an individual has neglected to file income tax, a tax attorney can negotiate with the IRS for a reduction in back taxes and penalties. Negotiations are called an offer in compromise. These offers are based on one of three situations. The first one is doubt as to whether the tax is actually owed, secondly, if there is doubt that the taxpayer could ever actually pay the full amount of the tax burden. The third situation is that paying the tax would be an extreme hardship for the taxpayer.
Tax attorneys can also represent an individual or corporation that is audited by the IRS. If it is discovered that the government is owed back taxes, the tax attorney can set up a payment plan between the IRS and the client.
When an individual decides to start a new business, a tax accountant can advise whether a sole proprietorship or an L.L.C. have better tax benefits for the business owner. The same applies if two or three people want to form a partnership. The tax accountant can explain whether a simple partnership, L.L.C. or corporate status will offer them the best tax benefits.
The National Association of Property Tax Attorneys is a non-profit entity in place to educate the public regarding tax matters. Attorneys can network with other association members for advice and the organization's website provides up to the minute tax news.
The International Practice Group is ideal for corporate attorneys who work for entities with locations all over the globe. Members can connect with others all over the world for guidance on tax matters. One goal of the group is to use these international contacts to better serve their tax clients. The group provides semi-annual conferences to bring tax accountants up to date on international tax matters.
Members join an elite group of tax professionals as the International Practice Group has high standards and a rigorous application process. In order to be approved, law firms have to be of high quality and held in high regard by other law firms. The first step is filing an application with the board of directors. If the board agrees to go forward with the application process, it will conduct a due diligence visit to the applicant's firm. If the board of directors is pleased with the due diligence visit, the applicant is invited to the next semi-annual meeting where they introduce themselves to everyone at the meeting. The members attending get to vote on whether to accept the firm's application for membership.

Q: performing linear regression with interaction term (purrr package) I am analyzing the data using ANCOVA method and also trying to run several multiple linear regression from the purrr package.
The model should be:
m1 <- lm(PD~SR*Type, data = df (with interaction term)
m2 <- lm(PD~SR+Type, data = df (without interaction term)
My example code
library(broom)
library(purrr)

df <- data.frame(PD=c(10,20,30,40,50,10,20,33,12,52,21,43),
           SR=c(5,10,20,24,6,21,59,22,1,11,12,3),
           n=c("tree1", "tree1", "tree1",
               "tree2", "tree2","tree2",
               "tree3", "tree3", "tree3",
               "tree4", "tree4","tree4"),
           Type=c("a", "b",'c',
                  "a", "b",'c',
                  "a", "b",'c',
                  "a", "b",'c'))

x <- df %>%
  nest(data = -n) %>%
  mutate(fit = map(data, ~lm(PD~SR * Type, data= .x)),
         tidied = map(fit, tidy),
         glanced = map(fit, glance),
         augmented = map(fit, augment))

tidy <- x %>% unnest(data) %>%
  select(n, Type, PD, SR, tidied) %>%
  unnest(tidied) %>%
  select(n, Type, PD, SR, term, estimate) %>%
  rename(, species_richness = SR)%>%
  spread(term, estimate)

My problem is that I am expecting the intercept/slope is different to each Type.
However, the intercept/slope given by the code is the same for each Type.
You can check from tidy dataframe.
Any suggestions for this point? I am learning how to use the purrr package since it is quite powerfull.
or can u have other methods to do that?

Title: Arc
Fandom: Wicked
Pairing: Glinda/Elphaba
Archiving: www.realmoftheshadow.com/harper.htm
Disclaimer: I don't own them and make no claim on them. I write for entertainment purposes (my own).
A/N: Short and unbeta'd. I'll be at Xfjnky2@yahoo.com, have you anything to say.
Sometimes, when Glinda looks in the mirror, she swears she can see hints of green – verdant swirls traced across her skin by slim fingers that left a mark invisible to all but her. Then she wishes that were really true, that she was streaked and sullied by sweeping arcs the exact color of Elphie's skin. She thinks that if that were true, then people wouldn't gather at her feet like acolytes and invent parades for her to helm and sigh and simper at every word that crosses her lips as if she's ever said anything of consequence. She's sure that if she could be marked as who she truly is, the spurned and abandoned lover of the Wicked Witch of the West, then she wouldn't be burdened with the never-ending playact known as Glinda the Good.
How could she be Good if she loved Wicked? How could Wicked be wicked if she loved, and was beloved by, Good?
Heady thoughts, she thinks before rapidly dismissing them, and looks down from her balcony at the crowd gathered there, anxiously awaiting her next decree. It's already been written, the boring speech, the pontifications on the grand state of Oz, but in her head she mentally rearranges it. She makes it the truth, and she delivers it with a bright smile and a casual toss of her ringlets, as if the words were a welcomed reprieve from years of lies and not, instead, the early fomentations of revolt.
"I was a silly, shallow schoolgirl. She cared about things. She wanted to make a difference. She was smart, and brave, and loyal. She carried on with her life as if the things people said about her didn't matter. She was the best person I'd ever met. I mean it when I say that, I choose my words carefully."
She imagines the people staring up at her with adoring and open faces falling to their knees in collective shock, doubting their own ears for hearing such seditious words coming from her lips.
"I loved her. Yes, you heard me correctly. I loved her. I loved Elphaba, Thropp Third Descending of Nest Hardings. That was her name, you see. She was never a witch, you know, or wicked. She may have been magic, but she was no witch, and I refuse to let her be known as such any longer. She loved me back, too, and we did the things that two people in love did, which I think you should know even if it shocks you."
But while she'd like to tell them all about her first lover, the only love she'd ever truly loved, she didn't. Elphaba was gone, done in by a raw-boned farm girl from a place that didn't exist but that was nonetheless known as Kansas and a bucket of water, and no matter what anyone said about her (even Glinda the Good) she'd never be known as anything other than the Wicked Witch of the West. And maybe it was better that way, Glinda acknowledged privately. With the population banded together in their hatred of the woman who could secretly have been their savior, Glinda went merrily about her business, Elphie's long-ago given counsel guiding the future of Oz.
The irony of it would have made her happy, had Glinda still been able to feel the depth of that emotion. But, without Elphaba, there was nothing but rote performance of a duty she had never wanted. Perform it she did, though, taking an almost sadistic glee in affecting all of the changes, and more, that her lover had wanted to see.
Wicked Witch, indeed, thought Glinda, stepping out onto the balcony amid the cheering cries of the people of Oz. Basking in the adulation despite herself, she smiled, the expression a little too razor sharp for her girlishly beaming countenance, and took in a deep breath.
"Fellow Ozians…"

Facebook Live Racks Up 356 Days' Worth of Video From GOP, Democratic Conventions
Budding streaming platform totaled over 120 million views for its coverage of the political parties' parties
Brian Flood | August 2, 2016 @ 5:26 PM
Facebook Live played a major role in the 2016 Republican and Democratic conventions, with 8,500 hours' worth of streaming video, the equivalent of almost 356 straight days of content between the two events.
The nonstop supply of video has been viewed over 120 million times, aided by special Facebook Live lounges at both conventions. It's not quite the Chewbacca Mom's 160 million views, but it's not too shabby. To put things in perspective, Fox News was the most-watched television network during Donald Trump's acceptance speech with 9.35 million viewers.
Facebook Live gained significant exposure last month when the fatal police shooting of slain Minnesota motorist Philando Castile was broadcast in real time. That was followed hours later by numerous Facebook Live postings and other cellphone video from Dallas, where a gunman killed five police officers.

The Republican and Democratic conventions, however, offered the streaming app a chance to rack up views without the element of tragedy. Here's a sampling:
Katie Couric offered a behind-the-scenes look at the RNC.
The Washington Post went live with reporters Julie Zauzmer and Janell Ross.
NowThisElection played GOP trivia with young Republicans.
Triumph the Insult Dog was up to his usual antics.
New York Times illustrator Peter Arkle had popular videos at both conventions.
Scott Baio joined Fox News' Kennedy and Pete Hegseth from the Facebook Live Lounge.
Meanwhile, Univision's Jorge Ramos reported live from the floor of the RNC, Trevor Noah provided real-time reaction to Donald Trump's acceptance speech, Samantha Bee was interviewed live by both The New York Times and the Washington Post and even Glamour streamed live from the Democratic Convention for a conversation with Chelsea Clinton, Lena Dunham and America Ferrera.
Stephen Colbert took things to a new level, with videos on Democratic Convention recycling, cameras dedicated to condiments, a blind date between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders supporters, a cold hamburger and even a tip jar.

ABC News and Facebook Live partnered up for gavel-to-gavel coverage of the conventions, which did massive numbers, including 28 million video views and 74 hours of programming. The partnership yielded 96 individual Facebook Live streams during the two conventions combined.
The RNC alone garnered over 11.6 million video views for ABC News with 35 hours of programming and 52 Facebook Live streams. The Democratic Convention produced more than 16.6 million video views, over 39 hours of programming and 44 live streams for ABC News.
ABC News isn't the only organization racking up views on Facebook Live. PBS NewsHour's video of Michelle Obama's speech already has over 4 million views and 127,000 likes.

Last week, Facebook reported revenue of $6.4 billion and earnings of 97 cents a share. That easily beat its performance for the same period last year, when Facebook brought in slightly more than $4 billion in revenue and had earnings of 50 cents a share. Many believe the Live product is responsible for that growth.
"Our community and business had another good quarter," Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said in the earnings release. "We're particularly pleased with our progress in video as we move towards a world where video is at the heart of all our services."
How Hillary Did: Democratic Convention Speeches Ranked From Worst to Best (Videos)
With the Democratic Convention already half over, TheWrap is ranking the speeches so far. There are too many people taking the podium for us to include them all, so we're only evaluating the most memorable.
His delivery Tuesday was stilted and felt off, until his conclusion, a callback to the speech that helped bury his 2004 presidential run. It's cool that he can joke about it, but disappointing he didn't have a better closer.
The former presidential candidate got almost three minutes of cheers before he spoke, but delivered a long speech that didn't say much new. And he took 10 minutes to clarify that yes, he's still endorsing Hillary Clinton. His speech was just OK.
The Massachusetts senator is one of the Democrats' most energetic advocates for economic justice, but she was relatively low-key Monday. Warren may have been thrown off by people in the crowd who booed or heckled her for getting behind Clinton. But she did land some punches against Trump, her occasional Twitter antagonist.
The first female Secretary of State, one of Clinton's predecessors in the job, made a passionate argument that Donald Trump has hurt U.S. national policy just by running for president.
He did a good job doing the attack-dog thing vice presidential candidates are supposed to do, and spoke a little Spanish, calling Clinton "lista" -- ready.
The Minnesota senator turned to his "Saturday Night Live" experience to deliver solid jokes that made a serious accusation: the Republican presidential nominee is just a con man.
The comedian and former Sanders supporter said something no politician has had the guts to say when she accused the Bernie-or-Bust crowd of acting "ridiculous." Whether or not you agree, give her points for saying what she believes. The onetime Sanders surrogate made a strong case for switching over to "pretty kick-ass woman" Hillary Clinton.
The New Jersey senator got the audience fired up by quoting Maya Angelou: "You may write me down in history / With your bitter, twisted lies / You may trod me in the very dirt / But still, like dust, I'll rise."
He's had the same issue with Democratic Convention speeches since his first one in 1988: He goes on too long. But his slow, relaxed style is so much a part of his charm. His encomium to his wife and her great advice was lovely -- we could listen to hours about how they first started dating -- but he could have tightened up his long list of her accomplishments. Key line: "She's the best darn changemaker I've ever met in my entire life."
He walked out to the theme from "Rocky" -- get it? We're in Philly, and he was born in Pennsylvania? -- and then paid tribute to the Rockys of the world. He said blue-collar people may not be respected in Washington, but celebrated people who get up every morning and "put one foot in front of the other." He also started a new anti-Trump chant: "Not a clue. Not a clue."
The first lady set the standard for convention speakers with these words: "I wake up every morning in a house that was built by slaves. And I watch my daughters, two beautiful, intelligent, black young women, playing with their dogs on the White House lawn. And because of Hillary Clinton, my daughters, and all our sons and daughters, now take for granted that a woman can be president of the United States. So, don't let anyone ever tell you that this country isn't great, that somehow we need to make it great again, because this, right now, is the greatest country on Earth."
She was the first presidential nominee in modern history to dress all in white, but she tried to share the spotlight with everyone she could. President Obama set her up Wednesday by portraying Trump as a man who claimed only he could rule. On Thursday, Clinton praised everyone from 9/11 first responders to Obama to Bernie Sanders. "Love trumps hate," she said, and made the case that as the first female presidential nominee, she isn't just in it for herself: "When any barrier in America falls, it clears the way for everyone. After all, when there are no ceilings, the sky's the limit."
We know, he said his wife's speech would be better. And Clinton's did the job. But this was one for history. Rejecting the idea that dark forces are hurting America, he said the values of his ancestors -- hard work, honesty and kindness -- are as strong as they've ever been. He said shortcuts and demagogues will never win, and belittled Trump's proposed border wall. "The American dream is something no wall with ever contain," Obama said.
Clinton, dressed all in white, gives credit to "people who inspired me"

Making sense of the claims about climate change consensus
Bryan W. White August 29, 2013 0 Comments
climate change, Hans von Storch, John Cook, Maggie Kendall Zimmerman, Naomi Oreskes, William R. L. Anderegg
Last week, we published a fact check of a new Organizing For Action campaign designed to expose Republican "climate change deniers" in Congress. One of the features of OFA's attack ad was its claim of a 97 percent consensus among scientists on climate change.
We noticed a few problems with the support typically offered with that and similar claims, and promised a fact check of the 97 percent consensus claim. We stated that OFA's claim about the scientific consensus is almost certainly false taken literally, but found that one can take it as true statement, albeit misleading, under a set of charitable assumptions.
The Truth About the 97 Percent Consensus
We found six evidences offered in support of a strong scientific consensus. The problems for each are similar, so we decided to treat all of them together with a slide show designed to highlight the keys to understanding the meaning of each study. For each study, we created an image that features the name of the study, the authors, the target group to which the consensus number applies, the consensus claim from the study, and finally our evaluation of the real nature of the consensus.
The most recent of the studies downplays some of the important numbers-behind-the-numbers, so we also included an explanatory graph to help expose the devils in the details.
Oreskes
Anderegg
We found the "consensus" varies in terms of the population expressing the consensus and in terms of the object of consensus. One researcher would look at one group or subgroup of scientists. Another researcher would focus on another. Sometimes the "consensus" position was vague, as with "the consensus position that humans are causing global warming." Does that mean all of it, most of it or just some of it?
Is there a scientific consensus on global warming?
A consensus on global warming probably exists on the twin points that the planet is warming and that humans contribute to at least some significant degree. But none of these studies do a particularly good job of measuring a consensus. The von Storch effort probably comes closest since it surveyed a relatively large sample of scientists directly and asked some good questions. That survey is also notable for a large set of colorful responses to open-ended questions like "If you could ask the collective body of climate scientists one particular question, what would it be?" In the end, the survey suggests that about 84 percent of the scientists in the sample group are reasonably confident humans play a dominant role in climate change. About a third of the scientists in that survey said they were "very much" convinced humans now or will soon account for most of the effects of climate change.
Applying the information
Obviously consensus has its limits. While the backing of scientists reasonably adds some strength to a claim, science does not operate on the basis of democratic principles. A majority vote does not decide scientific truth.
We need to stay on guard for statements that pass one type of consensus off as a different type of consensus.
Naomi Oreskes claimed her survey, the first to appear in our slide show, provided evidence confirming the IPCC consensus position, that humans likely account for most of global warming over the past 50 years by contributing to higher concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Yet only one of her six groups unequivocally fits with that consensus, and Oreskes does not share her measurement of the size of that group. Oreskes' method encourages an exaggerated impression of consensus.
President Obama went to Twitter with his reaction to the Cook study:
Ninety-seven percent of scientists agree: #climate change is real, man-made and dangerous. Read more: http://t.co/4lEEBYtVqf
— Barack Obama (@BarackObama) May 16, 2013
We're inclined to go easy on imprecision in Twitter communications because of the 140 character limit, but the example is too good to pass up. The Cook study looked at professional literature, not at scientists, and excluded from its consensus calculation most of the professional literature where it expressed no explicit or implicit view on the cause of climate change. The study does a poor job of quantifying the scientific view of the human contribution to warming and does not examine the issue of the dangers posed by climate change.
We repeatedly see consensus claims presented in ways that encourage the audience to accept an exaggerated consensus. We shouldn't see that from scientists, and we shouldn't see it from journalists. We shouldn't even see it from presidents.
Correction 8/31/2013: Removed redundant occurrence of the word "human" from slide No. 2.
Update, correction 5/20/2013: Changed our presentation format, updated von Storch study summary to correct a minor typo.
Update 5/25/2013: Updated Anderegg study summary fixing a grammatical error.

When a family member needs some support, it can be a hard time for both the person supporting as well as the person recieving support. We would always prefer to look after our loved ones ourselves, but the strain on one carer can be very demanding too, which can have knock on effects.
We have recently adopted a resource called Rally Round Me. It is an app designed to grow a persons support network, and eliminate the sole carer. Now the person being supported will have a strong network instead of relying on one exhausted person. There will be adequate support with tasks shared between a larger group of people, all of whom will have unique traits and personalities which will be beneificial.
The support system could consist of family, friends, or professionals, who share duties over the app. For instance, the friend being supported may ask for some help with his shopping on Friday. Which will then be sent out as a notification over the app. Whoever feels it's convinient, can simply accept the invitation and then do the shopping on Friday.
Among the support network, there is the possibility to include a professional, for this reason we have opened up several volunteer positions. The volunteer would make up one part of the support network, assisting a person day-to-day, working with them on recovery plans and building a positive partnership with the aim of growth and independance. The volunteers would be fully trained and supported by BAND.
You can find out more about volunteering in this role at our volunteer information days. Details on the next volunteer information day can be found under upcoming events, on our homepage.
Please do have a lovely Christmas and make sure you look after yourself.
Every day can be a great day. Everyone should be in control of their life, experiencing happiness and achievement.
We are running a course for people who want to live life being the best they can, enjoying better relationships, increased confidence and a better ability to deal with problems.
It is free, but we ask that you register as there are limited places on the course.
We are looking for a Project Development Worker to deliver an exciting new service that will be supported by web based technology called Rally Round Me. Further information about Rally Round Me can be found in the recruitment pack.
The role sits within our Recovery Services, which provides a range of activities and projects designed to offer support at all stages of someone's recovery journey. In this role, you will have the opportunity to make a real difference to someone's life, offering the opportunity for individuals to build a network of support that is tailored to their individual needs.
After a short summer break, we are pleased to announce that our shared reading group is back.
We read a variety of different authors and genres. Whether you enjoy participating in the reading, or just sitting back and listening to others read, we have a place for you.
Our next session will be Wednesday 6th September, 12:30pm - 2pm at BAND and every following Wednesday at the same time.

Q: fread leads to heap overflow Using below c code snippet
char charString[1024];

if (fread(charString, sizeof_data, 1, filePointer) != 1){ return false;}
else return true;

If I provide
sizeof_data = 1024 and file pointed by filePointer have only 10bytes to read from file. I receive Abort signal from program.
How do I handle it gracefully?

A: What you say can't be true: sizeof_data is 1024 and the buffer is too, so no problem there. So the problem is in code you don't show us. Two possibilities:

*

*sizeof_data is larger than the buffer and you overwrite the stack (or other data);

*You expect to read a string and don't terminate it with `\0' and later you print it, causing f/s/printf to cause a segfault.
Try this code:
    char charString[1024];
    size_t n;

    if ((n=fread(charString, 1, (sizeof_data<1024?sizeof_data:1023), filePointer))==0)
        return false;
    CharString[n]='\0';          // terminate
