A good home security camera is easy to install while offering surprising peace of mind. The Ring Floodlight Cam, $249 and available now, offers both.
The camera mounts where your old floodlight would have been – if you have a standard outdoor electrical box it will connect right into your current setup and it even worked with my older "pancake" style electric box – and it connects to your network via Wi-Fi. It works flawlessly right out of the box and all you have to remember is to not turn off the light switch (thankfully they include a sticker for your switch). Once it's set up you can make the cam react to motion and light up when it senses an intruder nearby or simply stay on all night, maintaining vigil over your car or fruit trees. It also includes a night vision mode that keeps an eye on things even in the dark.
The system will send notifications when it senses motion and a $30/year monitoring plan will keep video for up to 60 days. The video, as you can see below, is good enough to make out motion and possibly identify people but it doesn't quite offer enough resolution to read a license plate a few feet away.
Finally, like other Ring devices, you can speak to folks who are approaching the light through the app and even set off a siren that, while loud, will probably get swallowed in the sea of city noise. It is, however, nice to know it's there.
After using a number of these cameras, including the Netatmo Presence, I'm pleased with the durability of the Ring Cam. While it doesn't have Netatmo's sci-fi styling, the floodlight looks just like what it purports to be: a big light for dark places. Further, because there is no internal SD card the Ring is completely watertight, an issue that came up when I was running the Presence.
Ring did everything right. Unlike other camera solutions that are either standalone or must be installed into new construction, the Floodlight Cam is backwards compatible and very well made. The entire system installed quickly and works flawlessly (so far) although time will tell if it can survive Brooklyn rainstorms.
If you're in the market for a floodlight and high design isn't a concern this is the way to go.

Tim Cook: No-one Wants An iPad-Mac Hybrid
by Ashlie November 18, 2015
Apple CEO Tim Cook has told the The Irish Independent he has no plans to converge Cupertino's lovingly crafted iPad and Macbook hardware lines into a hybrid tablet-plus-laptop device — arguing that melding the two device types would undermine the user experience. And not-so-subtly throwing shade on rival Microsoft's approach to converged computing in the process. The latter of course recently unboxed the Surface Book — a hybrid laptop-tablet it's hoping will chase the iPad out of the enterprise, even as Apple doubles down on the demographic with the launch of an iPad Pro.
"We feel strongly that customers are not really looking for a converged Mac and iPad," Cook told the newspaper. "Because what that would wind up doing, or what we're worried would happen, is that neither experience would be as good as the customer wants. So we want to make the best tablet in the world and the best Mac in the world. And putting those two together would not achieve either. You'd begin to compromise in different ways."
His comments clarify remarks he made earlier this month to The Telegraph newspaper, on a publicity drive to drum up noise to accompany the launch of the iPad Pro, in which Cook had appeared to suggest he thought there was no longer a role for PCs in a world of increasingly powerful and capable tablets.
"I think if you're looking at a PC, why would you buy a PC anymore? No really, why would you buy one?" he told The Telegraph last week. "Yes, the iPad Pro is a replacement for a notebook or a desktop for many, many people. They will start using it and conclude they no longer need to use anything else, other than their phones."
However he has now made it clear he was referring specifically to Windows PCs, not Macs — telling the Independent: "We don't regard Macs and PCs to be the same", and arguing that while the difference between the chipset architecture of the Mac and the iPad is "much less than it's ever been" there is still a difference in how users use both device types.
"What we've tried to do is to recognise that people use both iOS and Mac devices. So we've taken certain features and made them more seamless across the devices. So with things like Handoff we just made it really simple to work on one of our products and pick it up and work on the next product," he added.
Our own Microsoft watcher, Alex Wilhelm, remained on the fence in his review of the Surface Book, suggesting "in its current form, the Surface Book will either be a direct hit for any given consumer, or too much".
While reviewing the iPad Pro, TC's editor and Apple watcher, Matthew Panzerino, argued that computing is not about any single solution but increasingly down to shades of grey. "I am not willing to declare the personal computer (non-Cupertino definition) 'dead'. I'll leave that to the bombasts. But there is a certain (sorry) norm-core computing demographic that could very well end up with an iPad Pro as the 'enhanced' component to their smartphone, which is their real computer," he wrote.
It's also worth noting that hybrid devices are nothing new. Android OEMs have been trying various configuration of phone-tablets and convertible laptop-tablets for years. What's a little shinier here — in terms of approach — is Microsoft pushing a converged OS across multiple device types, with Windows 10, a strategy that in turn directly contrasts with Apple committing to retaining separate (yet interoperable) mobile and desktop OSes.
On the one hand operating system convergence suggests the prospect of simplicity and interoperability across multiple device types — hence Cook stressing Apple's focus on usability, and features to improve interopability between Apple hardware. But, while convergence might imply improved simplicity, it's notable that users often resist moves to collapse distinctions — perhaps because they appreciate subtle distinctions, and perhaps also because they don't appreciate the loss of control (and privacy) that can occur when walls are knocked down.
So, for instance, people do not typically conduct all their communications via a single platform like Facebook but rather use multiple different apps and services — depending on who they are talking to and what they want to say. Such comms behavior is sophisticated, not simple, but is also (often) preferred. So Cook's view that users actively seek out and appreciate distinct computing experiences, rather than rush to collapse distinctions, does not feel a stretch.
Of course, it's in Apple's interests to maintain the value of distinct classes of computing hardware, given its business is a hardware one. And on that score Apple rivals pushing device convergence is also a strategy to directly attack the value of Cupertino's premium hardware business by foregrounding software. But just because you push convergence at users, doesn't mean people will embrace it. Software might be eating the world but it remains to be seen whether it can gobble up Apple's hardware business.

Als Furt bezeichnet man eine Flachstelle (Untiefe) in einem Bach- oder Flusslauf, mittels der das Gewässer zu Fuß, zu Pferd oder mit Fahrzeugen durchquert werden kann. Diese seichte Stelle ist somit Bestandteil einer übergeordneten Wegeverbindung und bestimmte den Verlauf von Verkehrswegen. Die Siedlungsentwicklung wurde lange Zeit durch die Lage an einer Furt begünstigt.

Lage
Die ältesten Furten entstanden an natürlichen Flachstellen eines Fließgewässers. Dabei wurde die Änderung der Morphologie der Fließgewässer genutzt, um ein gefahrenfreies Passieren zu ermöglichen.

Bei mäandrierenden Fließgewässern befinden sich Furten regelmäßig am Wechsel von Prallhang zum Gleitufer. Die abschnittsweise Erhöhung des Sohlniveaus ist integraler Bestandteil der typischen Furt-Kolk-Sequenzen von Tieflandflüssen.

Bei größeren Flüssen mit verzweigten Abschnitten sind die Furten überwiegend im Bereich von Stromspaltungsgebieten gelegen, da die Querung von mehreren Nebenarmen weniger risikobehaftet ist als die Nutzung des Hauptarmes, welcher höhere Fließgeschwindigkeiten und größere Sohltiefen aufweist.

Gewässeraufweitungen eignen sich ebenfalls als flache Übergangsstellen aufgrund der geringeren Wassertiefe. Das breitere Gewässerbett zeichnet sich durch eine verminderte Sohlerosion infolge der reduzierten Fließgeschwindigkeit und Sohlschubspannung (Schleppspannung) aus.

Verkehrsgeschichte und Siedlungsentwicklung

Furten in Flüssen sind von alters her bekannt. Die Lage von natürlichen Furten war von den naturräumlichen Gegebenheiten und den Veränderungen des Fließgewässers stark abhängig. Daher lenkten Furten maßgeblich den historischen Verlauf von Straßen und Wegen. Furten waren  – besonders im Mittelalter –  Ausgangspunkt von größeren Siedlungsgründungen, da die Bewohner von Handel und Verkehr profitierten. Denn an den Handelswegen im Bereich von Furten wurden mitunter Zölle erhoben. Noch heute erinnern Stadtnamen mit dem Begriff Furt an die historische Bedeutung der Überquerungsmöglichkeit für die Siedlungsentwicklung.

Das Durchqueren eines Gewässers mithilfe einer Furt wird auch (durch)furten genannt.
Für militärische Unternehmungen spielten Furten eine entscheidende Rolle, Vortrupps mussten Furten aufspüren und erkunden. Mit einem Boot wurde der Fluss befahren, dabei die Gewässertiefe ermittelt, insbesondere wurde die erkundete Furt auf Löcher im Flussbett überprüft. Bei schneller Fließgeschwindigkeit und Spiegelung der Bäume in der Wasseroberfläche kann man von einem tiefen Gewässer ausgehen, Sandbänke und kurze Wellen bei Wind sind ein Anzeichen einer Furt. Vor der Passage einer Furt trieb man eine Viehherde mehrmals durch die Furt (am besten Kühe, weil sie sehr langsam gehen), um den Flussgrund festzustampfen, damit die Räder der Fuhrwerke sich nicht "festsaugen". Beim Flussübergang wurde Kavallerie (berittene Soldaten) oberhalb der Furt aufgestellt, um die Strömung zu brechen, unterhalb der Furt Posten zur Aufnahme von Gepäck und Menschen, welche von der Strömung mitgerissen wurden.

Noch heute nutzt man in Bachläufen vorhandene Furten beim Bau von Wald- oder Wirtschaftswegen, wenn so der teure Bau von Brücken vermieden werden kann. Die an Fahrzeugen angeschriebene Wattiefe gibt die maximale Eintauchtiefe im Wasser an.

Als Furten wurden auch die Flussquerungen bezeichnet, die sich dadurch auszeichneten, dass sie leicht zu erreichen waren. Dies trifft besonders auf sumpfige Gebiete in der norddeutschen Tiefebene zu. Ein Beispiel ist die sumpfige Flussaue der Randow, die nur an einer Stelle einen "trockenen" Uferzugang bot; an dieser Stelle wurde Löcknitz angelegt.Querungen über breite oder vielbefahrenene Verkehrs-, nicht mehr Wasser-Ströme werden in übertragener Bedeutung als Fußgängerfurt  bzw. Radfahrerfurt bezeichnet.

Namenkunde

Varianten
Viele Städte und Orte tragen den Begriff Furt(h) im Namen, was auf ihre Lage weist. In Norddeutschland ist die gleichbedeutende Endung Wedel verbreitet. In englischsprachigen Ortsbezeichnungen verwendet man das Suffix -ford, z. B. Oxford oder Stratford. In niederländischen Ortsbezeichnungen heißt es voorde oder voort wie in Vilvoorde oder Zandvoort. Das lateinische trajectum ('Furt') findet man zurück in Maastricht, Utrecht und Dordrecht.

In 1998 she won the National Gracie Allen Award for American Women in Radio and Television for a story she wrote and produced called "Profiles in Power", which focused on the most successful independent business women in Austin, Texas.
Since childhood, her love and connection with animals was very strong. Christie began a journey competing on a national level showing American Saddlebred horses when she was six years old.
In 1983, at the age of seventeen, she won the coveted title of the United Professional Horsemen's Association National Equitation Champion.
Christie's Passion for Animals
Her passion for animals, dogs in particular, continued to grow all through her life. So as she continued her broadcasting career, she also worked towards a longtime dream to become a Certified K-9 Trainer.
Tampa, the lost puppy who found her, inspired many things. They partnered and became Search and Rescue Certified, Pet Therapy Certified, and worked as a team to help abandoned and abused shelter dogs find new lives.
In 2004, Christie co-founded "Crane's Critters" along with a local radio station in Sarasota. Under Christie's guidance, "Crane's Critters" became one of the most successful adoption programs in the nation, with thousands of animals finding their forever homes.
Tampa's Spirit is Alive
In August of 2020, Christie left the broadcasting world to complete the dream of working full time as a Certified K-9 Trainer. She continues to keep Tampa's spirit alive by helping people better understand the human-animal bond, and keep dogs in peaceful, loving homes with their families. After all, that is where they belong.

Living wall?
What is a Living wall?
A Living wall is also known as a green wall or vertical garden. Living walls allows you to grow plants on vertical surfaces. The plants in the Living walls are planted in different kinds of containers that hang vertically on a wall, on a railing or on a rack.
How to plant and maintain a Living walls?
It depends on the type of containers you choose: there are pockets, pipes are planted, walls can be built alone, and there are specially designed systems for such a garden. Vinea green's designated systems come with all the necessary parts for mounting and hanging containers of any number you choose, including irrigation for the entire system from one point only, without dripping and flooding. After you have chosen the location (do not forget exposure to light and sunlight) and the type of containers remains only fill them in the soil, choose seedlings, watered regularly and enjoy abundant green growth.
Vinea green also has hydroponic systems in which plants grow without a bedding, but only with water and fertilizer.
What products does Vinea green have?
How to build a Living walls system of Vinea green?
This is a modular system of vertical assembly plants. Each basic unit consists of four 9 by 9 cm pots, and the total size of the basic unit is 12.5 x 40 cm. You can connect some basic units that want width or height depending on the design you want. Each system, of any size, receives irrigation from only one point. Can be irrigated with an irrigation computer or manually. In the case of irrigation with a computer the system drains all excess water from one point only.
Another version of the system is Living rack:
An independent stand (not connected to a wall) cames with 8 basic units thet is 32 pots. The Living rack is suitable for cases where it is impossible to drill walls, exhibitions,to hide a spaces and more. The system comes with all the parts needed to assemble the stand.
How to install Living rack?
Each unit comes with all necessary mounting elements. Simply mark with a leveler, drill in accordance with the holes in the mounting bars and attach the bars with the screws.
Even if you missed a little – there's nothing to worry about. Special connectors will allow you to mount the mounting strips straight.
Another version of the system is adapted for hanging from handrails with special strips and durable.
How does Living surface system is build?
This is a modular system of pots for mounting on surfaces – for example on the balcony, the roof, the entrance to the building and more – wherever you want to create green space with minimal effort. The system is built from basic units of 4 pots each. The size of each pot is 17 by 17 cm and the total size of the basic unit is 40 by 40 by 18 cm. The units can be connected according to the size of the surface you want to cover.
How to install Living surface?
Place the units side by side and connect them in the pipes that come with the system. Irrigation is done using the standard methods (dropper, sprinklers, etc.)
Or irrigation by flooding from one point. Drainage is done from one point.
The drain can be closed so as to avoid dripping (if the system is inside the house) and save water.
What Is The Hydroponics wall?
A system for growing plants without soil only in water and fertilizer. The system is especially suitable for growing vegetables for food and spices.
This is because in the hydroponic approach the plant grows more rapidly than in the soil and suffers much less from pests.
Hydroponic wall: modular system . Each basic unit consists of 4 potted plants. The basic unit size is 12.5 by 40 cm.
The small systems also includes a water tank, pump and piping.
Installation: Each unit comes with dedicated mounting bars. The pump must be connected to an electrical point.
Irrigation and Fertilizing: are done manually in the small systems.
How do you install Hydroponic walls?

Q: change value and render object in v-for Vuejs I have a jsonArray and in my template component have v-for like:

   Quota:
      {{obj.quota}}

And I have a function in my component that should change value of obj.quota after click button,  like:
refreshValue: function(element){
   this.data.objects.forEach((e, i) => {
      if (e.id == element.id) {
         this.data.objects[i].quota = e.fractionNuminator /e.fractionDenominator;
      }
   });
}

But the problem is the object doesn't refresh and not render new value of object.
What I'm wrong? How I should change value in v-for?
Thankyou!

A: I was able to get this working in this jsFiddle.

    Quota:
    {{obj.quota}}
    <button @click="refreshValue(obj)">Refresh!</button>

var vm = new Vue({
  el: '#vue-instance',
  data: {
    objects: [
      {id: 1, quota: 100, numerator: 1, denominator: 3},
      {id: 2, quota: 120, numerator: 2, denominator: 5},
      {id: 3, quota: 75, numerator: 5, denominator: 6},
      {id: 4, quota: 350, numerator: 3, denominator: 8}
    ]
  },
  methods: {
    refreshValue: function(element) {
      this.objects.forEach((e, i) => {
        if (e.id == element.id) {
          this.objects[i].quota = e.numerator /e.denominator;
        }
      });
    }
  }
})

Birds are known as indicator species: they tell us if things are alright in the ecosystem. Photo above: A male rose-breasted grosbeak rests in a tulip tree. Photo by Luci Betti-Nash
A new study in the Sept. 20 issue of Science has found that in the United States and Canada bird populations have fallen a staggering 29 percent since 1970.
Such a dramatic drop has scientists concerned that the decline could be a sign of an ecosystem collapse. Habitat loss is considered a prime culprit.
Huntington resident Coby Klein understands the big picture. He's an ecology professor at Baruch College and a guide with the Huntington-Oyster Bay Audubon Society.
"If the arctic continues to become warmer and drier, it will cause larger and more frequent fires," he said. "Fires kill birds and destroy nesting habitats and drive down populations of sandpipers, gulls, terns, waterfowl and birds of prey that migrate through or winter on Long Island."
The best thing people can do, if you really have an interest in protecting birds and the environment, he said, is to vote.
Otherwise, the Audubon Society is committed to transforming communities back into places where birds flourish. Sterile lawns, ornamental species, pesticides and herbicides mean that on a local level, the landscape no longer supports functioning ecosystems.
Klein himself said that he lives on a postage-stamp-sized lot and the only native plant that thrives in his yard is poison ivy. But he notes that the Audubon Society is sponsoring a campaign called Creating Bird-Friendly Communities. The program is designed to educate the public on what they can do to help reverse the damage done and revive disappearing bird populations.
Growing native plants is a key component to re-establishing the ecological functions of cities and towns, according to the society and its experts. And they say the concept is easier on the back and wallet.
To flourish, birds need (a) plenty of food, (b) shelter where they can rest, (c) clean water to drink and bath in and (d) safe places to raise their young. Native plants and the insects that co-evolved around them are vital to a healthy system. The more native plants, the Audubon emphasizes, the more food and shelter. More bugs, caterpillars and seed pods on more public and private land is part of the solution.
The Audubon's Native Plants Database, which is on its website, suggests plants according to ZIP code. The choices were hand-selected by local experts and include information about the birds and creatures it benefits. Serviceberry, for example, is recommended for Long Island's North Shore communities. The small, shrublike tree with dense branching produces white flowers in the spring followed by red, purple or black berries. It attracts butterflies and caterpillars, as well as warblers and woodpeckers and about nine other types of birds. The database can be a good first place to explore landscape options.
The Long Island Native Plant Initiative's website is another good resource. The local nonprofit gathers wild seeds and makes native plants commercially available. It also grows and sells the native plant species to local nurseries to increase availability. Polly Weigand, the executive director, recommends requesting native plants from your favorite garden center to increase demand. It's goal is to reach more businesses in the nursery industry. Once people get into the habit of providing suitable habitats, birds become less vulnerable and are potentially more capable of adapting to climate conditions, according to the Audubon.
Native gardens, experts agree, are also relatively maintenance free and require little to no special irrigation system or fertilizers or toxic chemicals. So, it saves time and money and is a healthier option for people in the long run.
This fall consider practicing less drastic and costly yard cleanup. The Audubon recommends leaving the seed heads of perennials in the garden and skipping the raking. Leaf litter, they say, is free fertilizer, and a good place for birds to forage for worms and other critters. If tree limbs fall, they say, consider building a brush pile that will provide birds with shelter from the wind and predators. Branches settle and decompose over the seasons and make room for the next year's contributions.
Plant asters and woody shrubs like bayberry and winterberry this fall. The waxy fruit of bayberry provides an important source of energy to migrating birds. Evergreens, too, like cedars, firs and holly, provide shelter and something for birds to eat in winter. In general, milkweed, goldenrod and sunflowers are important plants for the rest of the year.
"When you plant native species in your home landscapes it's a protective way of ensuring that invasive ornamental species seeds don't spread and dominate the rest of Long Island's landscape," said Weigand.
Overall, the objective is to lose some lawn, or create pathways through it, and create habitat layers. Tall canopy trees produce nuts and provide nest cavities for shelter. Shrubs and small trees throw fruit for bird food and herbaceous plants supply seeds and a habitat for pollinators. Decaying leaves produce the base of all habitats. It also happens to be where moth pupae live, a favorite food of baby birds.
Start small, the Audubon states, and cluster plants in groupings of five or more of the same species. Pollinators, they say, prefer to feed from masses of the same flower. And remember to include a birdbath or hollowed out rock where rainwater collects, so birds have a supply of fresh water.
In the end, you've created a backyard sanctuary and a sure method for healthy, sustainable living.

Atambayev's case. Former president does not testify
Former president of Kyrgyzstan Almazbek Atambayev does not testify on any of the acts he is charged with. His lawyer Sergey Slesarev told 24.kg news agency.
According to the lawyer, his client believes that all this is illegal and he does not consider it necessary to give any evidence. Officially, only one charge was brought against his client — within the case on the release of the crime boss Aziz Batukaev.
Preliminary hearings will begin on October 11. «But the investigation convincingly proved neither the scheme of the conspiracy of high-ranking officials, nor, actually, why Almazbek Atambayev is a defendant under the Articles «Corruption» and «Complicity in crime.» Moreover, how can investigators unequivocally assert that Batukaev has no leukemia? Where is the expert opinion on this? There is only evidence that, at the time of his release, Batukaev had this disease, where is the evidence of the contrary? The investigation was carried out very superficially,» said Sergey Slesarev.
The indictments, besides Atambayev, were handed to Indira Dzholdubaeva, Kalybek Kachkynaliev and Abdukhalim Raimzhanov.
The case on illegal release of the kingpin Aziz Batukaev was resumed in January 2019. The accused are doctors and laboratory assistants, who diagnosed the crime boss with cancer. In addition, former officials and deputies are also involved in the case.
Earlier, the Ministry of Internal Affairs reported that Almazbek Atambayev's direct involvement in the release of the kingpin was found out. The former president was a witness in the case. On August 9, he was charged with corruption within the case.
Almazbek Atambayev is accused of particularly serious crimes — violence against law enforcement agencies, murder, hostage taking, riots, corruption. He will be kept in the SCNS pre-trial detention center until October 26.

Chandra Detects X-ray Emissions of Comets PanSTARRS and ISON

Produced when heavy atoms in solar wind strike lighter atoms in comets' atmosphere
Astronomers used Chandra to observe Comet ISON and Comet PanSTARRS in 2013, when these comets were relatively close to the Earth. The graphic shows the comets in optical images taken by an astrophotographer, with insets showing the X-ray images from Chandra. The X-ray emission is produced when a wind of particles from the Sun – the solar wind – strikes the comet's atmosphere. The Chandra data was used to estimate the composition of the solar wind, including the amount of carbon and nitrogen, finding values that agree with independent measurements.

Space news (planetary dynamics: Oort Cloud comets; PanSTARRS & ISON) – 90 & 130 million miles from Earth, respectively, observing x-ray emissions as solar wind particles strike comets' atmosphere –
Thousands of years ago, ancient sky watchers observed terrible, fiery balls of fire that appeared suddenly in the sky. Hairy stars resembling fiery swords that appeared unpredictably, ancient astronomers and societies interpreted these terrifying, fear inducing travelers as harbingers of doom predicting impending disaster or even success in a future endeavor. Often connecting their appearance to famine, war, and plague, to the death of a beloved or fall of an empire or warlord, throughout history comets filled us with fear and even during modern times continue to entrance and fill us with awe.
Comet ISON comes in from the bottom right and moves out toward the upper right, getting fainter and fainter, in this time-lapse image from the ESA/NASA Solar and Heliospheric Observatory. The image of the sun at the center is from NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory.

Recently, astronomers working with NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory detected x-ray emissions produced as particles in the solar wind struck the atmospheres' of Comets ISON and PanSTARRS. Two long-period comets originating in the Oort Cloud far beyond the orbit of the planets, solar scientists use them as laboratories to study the composition of the stream of exotic particles flowing from the Sun called the solar wind. Astrophysicists determined x-ray emissions were produced as heavy particles in the solar wind struck lighter particles in the atmospheres' of Comets ISON and PanSTARRS. X-ray emissions with varying shapes indicating differences in the solar wind and atmospheres' of these comets at the time of the observations.
This image from NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory shows the sun, but no Comet ISON was seen. A white plus sign shows where the Comet should have appeared. It is likely that the comet did not survive the trip.

Observations of Comet ISON detected a greenish hue attributed to gasses like cyanogen, which contains oxygen and nitrogen, streaming from its nucleus. Chandra data obtained shows this comet has a well-developed, parabolic shape indicative of a dense atmosphere. In comparison, observations of Comet PanSTARRS show a more diffuse x-ray spectrum, indicating it has less gas and more dust in its atmosphere. Observations that agree with independent measurements made by NASA's Advanced Composition Explorer and other instruments. Planetary scientists plan to use the detailed computer simulations they developed during these studies to help analyze the data obtained by Chandra of Comets ISON and PanSTARRS to investigate interactions between the solar wind and other comets, planets, and even interstellar gas.
Twelve NASA spacecraft assets had an opportunity to observe Comet ISON, including the Heliophysics solar observatories; Solar Dynamic Observatory, STEREO and SOHO.

The Newark Arts Alliance is sponsoring a free informal drum circle (usually) on the fourth Friday of every month. Response was great for the first month. This has become a monthly event. Note that the Newark Arts Alliance is in Market East Plaza on Main Street Newark, Delaware.
This event will be moderated by Lorelei. The focus will be primarily on African and Mideast rhythms, but all drumming is welcome. Participants are asked to bring a drum or other percussion instrument, and melody instruments (such as flute, clarinet, etc.) are also invited. There can also be dancing, if space permits. Children should be accompanied by parents.

We are so happy about the opening of our new DC studio. SO happy that we have decided to do a one day headshot special to get things off to a great start.
Retouching is available for $40 per image.
If you have any questions of would like to book your session, please contact us at info@cedricterrell or 202-570-4019.
I recently had the opportunity to shoot headshots for Accomplish Coaching and got the chance to work with Avnish Sabharwal. Prior to this shoot, I had very little knowledge of life coaches ( I had only seen them on TV). Needless to say, I was immediately intrigued and very impressed by Avnish in particular. One thing I love about photography is that I have the opportunity to meet such interesting people on a day to day basis. With any profession where people may see your face on a headshot, before they meet you in person, it is so important to have a headshot that reflects you. Show a little personality and put forth the impression you want your potential clients, customers, casting directors and so many others to take away.
Why is that rain decides to grace us with it's presence just as you get on location. We thought it would hold out, but we were wrong. A senior portrait shoot turned into just a few headshots under cover. But hey, you do what you can, when you can. So postponed until Friday. So call this a sneak peak of much more to come...Miss Leanne.

In our continuing ongoing series of office voices, Justin Fenton explored 10 guiding principles which have helped to map his architectural rite of passage, cleverly intertwining his autobiography as he did so. The list follows as he explained them.
We don't operate in a vacuum of simply dealing with everyday issues. Every action has a broader context so whilst we have a sense of separation from the past, by imagining ourselves in the minds of the original makers and users we have a whole world out there to learn from even though we can't quite touch it.
In the context of embracing these lessons of history, the past's main lesson is that with a rigorous foundation, we can build with confidence.
Justin's early employment in a slate quarry forged a sensibility for materiality. Whilst he hardly echoed our eponymous architectural hero breaking stone in the classic Ayn Rand novel the Fountainhead, there is a sense that early immersion in all the properties of one material substance became for him an anchoring attitude to shaping and making.
In an unusual side ways move his next employment as a housing renovation grants officer, dealing with issues of folk who didn't have a lot of money was a great experience of a social rather than material reality in making people's lives better.
Relocation to Glasgow blended that material and social experience with the commerciality of city practice – enjoyably!
The McManus Gallery brought memories of the number of iterations we often have to go through to find the right answer. In another word the concept of determination is a quality of action that is not fundable, only by our personal desire to get it as right as possible.
What fuels perseverance is not necessarily that obvious, at St Andrews Cathedral in Glasgow it was clearer, we were helped by the artists we worked with, lifting our spirits to rise above the challenges of delivery of a special project.
The artistic impulse is imbued in what we do as architects. An ancient utterance is that art should be understood as 'craft undertaken well'. In this instance the Scottish National Portrait Gallery restoration in making containers to house art was a privilege of our craft.
And a big part of that craft of making was found in the project of Literature Languages and Culture at Edinburgh University at 50 George Square, where how we embed the technological systems have come to the fore. Decisions on whether to cover up or reveal is resolved by accepting the need to work with both possibilities.
And finally understanding the chemistry of building delivery, no better brilliantly captured than in the restoration of the Glasgow School of Art work with its particular complexity of relationships, historical in the giant nature and memory of Mackintosh the original architect, the vigilance of an entire world community setting great store by its restoration, and its future users when the Art School returns to its home.
Sometimes it is best to leave enough space for the observer to breathe, wander and let their imagination fill in the gaps.


"I think the hold that the Clintons had on the Democratic is over," she said. "I think people are feeling like they finally can speak their minds about it all, but they didn't for a long time." Well yeah, but the idea is that they only feel free to 'speak their minds' now because the Clinton era is over, and there's very little to lose at this point. Brzezinski also went after New York Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, one of the elected Democrats who have abruptly decided -- years after the fact, and long after she needed to feel "honored" by his support -- that Bill Clinton's multiple accusers deserve to be believed: "One of the reasons why we, and I mean me and Kirsten Gillibrand, Democrats, lost is because Bill Clinton's behavior was accepted. It was pushed under the rug and even women defended him...I know but he continues to flourish today and his wife ran for president even though these women who accused him were attacked in the media, were maligned or settled. That's a different standard than we're holding other people who were accused of the same behavior or less today. And this is why we have Trump. It's all connected."
In a downtown office, a former congressional page tells of her surprise meeting with Kennedy three years ago. She was 16 then. It was evening and she and her 16-year-old page, an attractive blonde, were walking down the Capitol steps on their way home from work when Kennedy's limo pulled up and the senator opened the door. In the backseat stood a bottle of wine on ice. Leaning his graying head out the door, the senator popped the question: Would one of the girls care to join him for dinner? No. How about the other? The girls said no thanks and the senator zoomed off. Kennedy, the formal page said, made no overt sexual overtures and was "very careful to make it seem like nothing out of the ordinary." It is possible that Kennedy did not know that the girls were underage or that they were pages and, as such, were under the protection of Congress, which serves in loco parentis. Nevertheless, the former page said she did find Kennedy's invitation surprising. "He didn't even know me," she says. "I knew this kind of stuff happened, but I didn't expect it to happen to me."...A former mid-level Kennedy staffer, bitterly disillusioned, recalls with disgust one (now ex-) high-ranking aide as "a pimp…whose real position was to procure women for Kennedy." The fellow did have a legitimate job, she says, but also openly bragged of his prowess at getting attractive and beddable dates for his boss.

How To Get Into Mit For Masters From India. Student must provide proof that they qualify based on the academic requirements. For these universities, talent is more valuable than your grades or college name.
WindairUudised Windair from ventilatsiooni-puhastus.ee
This tells you how competitive the school is and how serious their requirements are. People like diptarka hait, arindam bhattacharya, jeet mahopatra, prafulla dhariwal are all at mit just because they were extraordinarily talented in. You wouldn't go to harvard medical school for undergrad.
Source: ventilatsiooni-puhastus.ee
You could complete a bachelor's degree at harvard college in a discipline of your choosing, assuming you met the admission qualifications. You'll need excellent grades, test scores, essays, and letters of recommendation to even be.
Almost every international student going to mit from india is there because he/she has an olympiad medal. Most graduate applicants would be employed, and it requires some effort to prepare for student life once again.
Mit can take advantage of various us government programs to help students who are us citizens. You could complete a bachelor's degree at harvard college in a discipline of your choosing, assuming you met the admission qualifications.
How can i go to mit from india? For every 100 applicants, only 7 are admitted.
This school is also known as:
The impact of currency demonetization in india, which may have resulted in some students finding it difficult to arrange for finances, could result in higher visa refusals due to which they cannot get into mit from india.
For these universities, talent is more valuable than your grades or college name.
Incorporated in the year 1861, massachusetts institute of technology is a private research institute located in cambridge, massachusetts.
If you want to get in, the first thing to look at is the acceptance rate.
If you are an athlete (state or national winner) you can make a cut. Now that being said, i have my suspicions. If you are a national olympiad winner then you can make a cut because they care a lot about these things.
You will need exceptionally good grades to get into stanford university. In 1865, four years after the approval of its founding charter, the institute admitted its first student and shortly thereafter in 1871, admitted its first woman student.mit's opening marked the foundation of a new kind of independent. In spite of an average gre score, i got admits from stanford, uiuc, purdue and mit for ms in usa (masters degree).
(architecture) student from mumbai, in the "being international" section of mit's graduate admissions blog. Currently, mit's acceptance rate is 4.1%, which means it only accepts around 4 applicants for every 100 people that apply. Your work is a great window to your talent.
Most graduate applicants would be employed, and it requires some effort to prepare for student life once again. Good luck with your masters applications! Mit can take advantage of various us government programs to help students who are us citizens.
I don't know what got me into mit. The average high school gpa of the admitted freshman class at stanford university was 4.18 on the 4.0 scale indicating. Admission to mit for the master's degree does not necessarily imply an automatic commitment by mit beyond that level of study.

My purpose is when I click on each div the div disappears but it doesn't work

const { useState, Fragment } = React;

const tasks = [
    {
        id: 1,
        title:
            "sunt aut facere repellat provident occaecati excepturi optio reprehenderit",
        body: "quia et suscipit\nsuscipit recusandae consequuntur expedita et cum\nreprehenderit molestiae ut ut quas totam\nnostrum rerum est autem sunt rem eveniet architecto",
    },
    {
        id: 2,
        title: "qui est esse",
        body: "est rerum tempore vitae\nsequi sint nihil reprehenderit dolor beatae ea dolores neque\nfugiat blanditiis voluptate porro vel nihil molestiae ut reiciendis\nqui aperiam non debitis possimus qui neque nisi nulla",
    },
    {
        id: 3,
        title: "ea molestias quasi exercitationem repellat qui ipsa sit aut",
        body: "et iusto sed quo iure\nvoluptatem occaecati omnis eligendi aut ad\nvoluptatem doloribus vel accusantium quis pariatur\nmolestiae porro eius odio et labore et velit aut",
    },
];

/*export default*/ function Tasks() {
    const [initial_tasks, setTasks] = useState(tasks);
    const onDelete = (id) => {
        setTasks(initial_tasks.filter((task) => task.id !== id));
    };

    return (
        <Fragment>
            {tasks.map((task) => (

 {
                        onDelete(task.id);
                    }}
                >

{task.id}

{task.title}

            ))}
        </Fragment>
    );
}

ReactDOM.createRoot(document.getElementById("root"))
.render(<Tasks />);

A: Your tasks variable is not attached to a state. Your tasks variable is what your using to map in the render. So that means between renders changes may be lost. You need to assign your array to a state instead.
const [taskList, setTaskList] = useState(tasks);

You need to ensure you then use the getter of this state to be the target of your map. So taskList is what you need to map.
It's also important to remember not to mutate a state array directly. So when you want to add a new item to the array. You maybe tempted to write
taskList.push(newTask)
But that isn't right. Technically it would work but it wouldn't be flagged as a state update and anything subscribed to that state wouldn't update with the new value until a state update occurs. So instead you should copy the state, push to that array, and then assign it back. Here's an example
const addTask = (myTask) => {
    //make a copy of the state
    const state = [...taskList]
    //push new task
    state.push(myTask)
    //assign new state
    setTaskList(state)
}

In your filtering example, this could likely be done in a single one line set state
   setTaskList(prvState => prvState.filter(task => task.id !== someValue));

This works because filter returns a new array, not a mutation of your original array.

A: heres the mistakes you made
1: you need to mention the state variable in the map so when it change it get effected
2: dont filter intial_tasks the setTask function gives you the old value so make use of it
3: you need to provide key prop in the div so react knows what element has been changed
import { useState } from "react";

const tasks = [
{
    id: 1,
    title:
        "sunt aut facere repellat provident occaecati excepturi optio reprehenderit",
    body: "quia et suscipit\nsuscipit recusandae consequuntur expedita et cum\nreprehenderit molestiae ut ut quas totam\nnostrum rerum est autem sunt rem eveniet architecto",
},
{
    id: 2,
    title: "qui est esse",
    body: "est rerum tempore vitae\nsequi sint nihil reprehenderit dolor beatae ea dolores neque\nfugiat blanditiis voluptate porro vel nihil molestiae ut reiciendis\nqui aperiam non debitis possimus qui neque nisi nulla",
},
{
    id: 3,
    title: "ea molestias quasi exercitationem repellat qui ipsa sit aut",
    body: "et iusto sed quo iure\nvoluptatem occaecati omnis eligendi aut ad\nvoluptatem doloribus vel accusantium quis pariatur\nmolestiae porro eius odio et labore et velit aut",
},
];

export default function App() {
const [initial_tasks, setTasks] = useState(tasks);
const onDelete = (id) => {
    setTasks(oldTasks => {
        return oldTasks.filter((task) => task.id !== id)
    });

J-Term or May Term?
Emily Kenny
Isabel Haas, Opinion Editor
Being someone who has benefitted from travel abroad opportunities in the month of January, it is hard to say whether or not changing interim to May will be just as beneficial to students.
For most of the month of January, students have the opportunity to seek an internship, travel abroad with other BV students and faculty members, or stay on campus to take a class and earn money by working around Storm Lake or at BVU. This allows students to take advantage of opportunities that aren't awarded at other universities, and like myself, students have gained a lot of experiences because of the opportunities available during J-Term.
There has been discussion as to if J-term should be moved to the month of May, thus becoming May term. Most people hear of this news and assume nothing will affect the outcome of changing J-term to May term, however, there is much to consider before taking this leap.
In terms of traveling abroad, there is so much that goes into the planning and execution of visiting another country. Although a majority of the travel plans are arranged by the trip advisors, there is a lot of preparation that a student has to do to ensure they are prepared to travel abroad as well. Most of these steps are lengthy and stressful, and with interim being in January, most of them can be completed in the Fall semester. Students that graduate in May would most likely be allowed the opportunity to partake in an interim course if it were moved to May, but traveling to another country the same month as graduation creates stress that few would be willing to take on. Additionally, if J-term were to become May term, students wouldn't have the opportunity to have an internship that spans over the middle and late December to the middle of January.
Although changing J-term to May term might bring about difficulties, it will allow student teachers, who student teach in the spring semester, an opportunity to benefit from participating in what interim has to offer. Most student teachers have schedules that vary depending on the grade they are teaching, location of the school and a few other factors, which leaves some to student teach in January. Also, if J-term were moved to the end of May, students might have an extra month to have a summer internship, which might not be available in January.
The opportunity to have a month-long internship or to travel abroad during the school year is such a unique factor of BVU. Although there are benefits and downfalls of changing J-term to May term, the important thing to remember is that interim is still available to all students.
As long as the opportunities available to students during interim aren't taken away, adjustments can be made to changing the month that interim occurs.

Products for urine marking, anxiety and declining cognitive function in dogs and cats.
Holmes Veterinary Hospital now carries Ceva's line of pet behavior solutions.
DAP products help with anxieties such as noise phobias (thunderstorms, fireworks), separation anxiety, general anxiety and anxieties about travel, veterinary visits and boarding or grooming.
DAP stands for Dog Appeasing Pheromone, a pheromone that calms anxious or nervous dogs. We carry the DAP Collars, which are like a flea collar. The DAP spray can be used in pet taxis to calm dogs during travel or can be sprayed on dog's bandanas or clothing and even bedding. Also available are the DAP diffusers and refills for the diffusers. A diffuser treats about 750 square feet.
Feliway products are used to have a calming effect on cats. The spray can be put on areas to discourage urine marking. We also have the diffusers and refills. Feliway helps with urine marking behaviors, anxiety in multi-cat households as well as anxiety from travel, grooming, boarding, veterinary visits. It can be sprayed in pet taxis prior to travel to calm nervous kitties.
Urine Away comes in a soaker bottle and spray. It breaks down odor from pet urine so that it cannot be detected by people or pets.
We also have Seni-Care oral capsules that help with declining cognitive function in senior dogs. Senior dogs with cognitive dysfunction have been compared to people with Alzheimer's disease. They may become confused easily, get lost in the house or yard, seem to wander or pace aimlessly, vocalize more or get their days and nights mixed up.
For more information, give us a call at (864) 984-2365.
← Poll: Are you a "dog person" or a "cat person"?


I'm so happy you're here! I don't know if you understand, but I feel now as though somebody cares. Maybe if someone had shown this interest a few years ago I wouldn't be here now; who knows where I might have been? Do you think its too late for me?

Ali Larijani defiant on UN sanctions
"Iran's nuclear program is peaceful, but this may change."
ahmadinejad points 298.8
(photo credit: AP)
Iran opposes obtaining nuclear weapons and intends to use its nuclear technology for peaceful purposes under the framework of the Nonproliferation Treaty, Iranian nuclear negotiator Ali Larijani said Friday. "But," Larijani warned, "if we are threatened, the situation may change."
THE IRANIAN THREAT
JPost.com special: news, opinion, blogs and more
Decision time (Up Front feature) Larijani said that Iran's situation is "totally different" from that of North Korea, which conducted its first atomic test October 9. International talks aimed at Pyongyang's nuclear disarmament have failed. "North Korea already has nuclear weapons, we are not after nuclear weapons," Larijani said. "It is not part of our doctrine, political or national doctrine, to go after nuclear weapons." Meanwhile, Iran stepped up its defiance of international sanctions aimed at rolling back its nuclear program, vowing on Friday to continue enriching uranium and announcing it has produced and stored more of the gas used as a feedstock for enrichment. Hard-line President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Iran would not give into UN Security Council demands that it suspend enrichment, state-run television reported. "Iran will stand up to coercion. ... All Iranians stand united to defend their nuclear rights," state-run TV quoted Ahmadinejad as saying. "Enemies have assumed that they can prevent the progress of the Iranian nation through psychological war and issuing resolutions, but they will be defeated," Ahmadinejad was quoted as saying on state-run TV. Iran has condemned as "invalid" and "illegal" a Security Council resolution passed last month that imposes sanctions against the Islamic Republic for refusing to halt enrichment. The resolution orders all countries to ban the supply of specified materials and technology that could contribute to Iran's nuclear and missile programs. It also imposes an asset freeze on key companies and individuals in the country's nuclear and missile programs named on a UN list. If Iran refuses to comply within 60 days, the resolution warns Teheran that the council will adopt further nonmilitary sanctions. The United States and its allies accuse Teheran of secretly trying to produce atomic weapons, but Iran says its nuclear program is solely for peaceful purposes including generating electricity. Ahmadinejad's comments came as China's President Hu Jintao urged Iran to give a "serious response" to the resolution, Chinese state media reported. The resolution "reflects the shared concerns of the international community over the Iranian nuclear issue, and we hope Iran could make a serious response to the resolution," Hu said in his meeting with Iran's visiting top nuclear negotiator Ali Larijani, according to Xinhua News Agency. But in another show of defiance, Vice President Gholamreza Aghazadeh, who also heads the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, announced that Iran has produced and stored 250 tons of uranium hexaflouride gas, the feedstock for enrichment, state-run TV reported. The hexaflouride gas, or UF-6, is being stored in underground tunnels at a nuclear facility in Isfahan to protect it from any possible attack. "Today, we have produced more than 250 tons of UF-6. Should you visit Isfahan, you will see we have constructed tunnels that are almost unique in the world," state-run TV quoted Aghazadeh as saying. The central Iranian cities of Isfahan and Natanz house the heart of the country's nuclear program. In Isfahan, a conversion facility reprocesses raw uranium, known as yellowcake, into uranium hexaflouride gas. The gas is then taken to Natanz and fed into the centrifuges for enrichment. Iran has said it is moving toward large-scale uranium enrichment involving 3,000 centrifuges and says it plans to later expand this to 54,000 centrifuges. Centrifuges spin uranium gas into enriched material, which at low levels is used to produce nuclear fuel to generate electricity. But further enrichment makes it suitable for use in building nuclear weapons. Aghazadeh confirmed in April 2006 that Iran has produced 110 tons of uranium hexaflouride gas. Experts say that amount would be enough to produce up to 20 nuclear bombs if Iran was to divert its civilian nuclear program into making weapons.

First Case Of H5N1 Bird Flu In Poultry In Denmark
by Medindia Content Team on May 19, 2006 at 1:38 PM
According to reports reaching from Copenhagen, the Danish authorities on Thursday have reported the country's first case of H5N1 bird flu virus in poultry.
The Danish Veterinary and Food Administration have announced that the bird flu virus was detected in a private farm near the city of Kerteminde in the southern part of Denmark. They also said that around a hundred chickens, ducks and geese on the farm have been destroyed, and added that a protection zone and surveillance zone were set up around the farm.
Denmark had earlier reported a number of bird flu cases in wild birds, but this is the first time it has reported the H5N1 virus in poultry. The health authorities on Thursday have halted exports of poultry from the island of Funen after birds on a farm tested positive for the deadly H5N1 strain of avian flu.
It was the first case of H5N1 in domestic birds in Denmark. The deadly strain of the virus had been found previously only in wild birds. This break out has been confirmed in domestic birds by the Danish national laboratory on Thursday. The officials said that the birds at the Funen farm were culled after 47 of about 100 died over a two-day period. A peacock and two guinea fowl had tested positive.
The Consumer Affairs Minister Lars Barfoed told at a news conference that they have established a new outbreak of bird flu in Denmark. Stating that the outbreak may force Denmark to halt all poultry exports to some countries, not just exports from Funen the minister said that but for now exports to other European Union countries could continue.
Scientists say H5N1 may eventually mutate so that it can be easily transmitted between humans. Because people lack immunity to it, it could sweep the world quickly, killing millions. The virus has killed 122 people since 2003 in nine countries and territories, according to the WHO.

Angel Tzakum went viral after running barefoot and winning the children's race Chacmultún-Tekax, on Sunday, December 2.
In social networks, the photographs of the sixth grade student from Tekax went viral, and the story was featured on different news websites. The child participated in the competition wearing denim pants, which he rolled up, and with no shoes on.
After the event, lots of people congratulated the winner, and many asked the city of Tekax to give some kind of support to this "little angel". There were also some individuals who went to the child's home and gave him gifts.
The municipal government of Tekax announced that they gave him a pair of tennis shoes, and promised to support him in his training as an athlete, in addition to inviting him to join the athletics team of Tekax.


Natural stone used for paving is very strong and dense, as well as resistant to extreme weathering and freezing temperatures. This makes it very suitable for both pedestrian and vehicular traffic.
Stone is cut from the quarry and hand finished into very precise units. These can be treated different ways to produce a wide range of finishes. They may be tumbled, antiqued, chiseled, sandblasted, flamed, honed and polished for a mirror finished or a battered old-world appearance.
Natural stone pavement projects provide a luxurious feel and look to pavement surfaces while blending into the architecture and surrounding environment.
Stone pavers are made in a wide range of sizes. Larger slabs are growing in popularity for paving, particularly where a uniform appearance is desired as is the case with modern architecture. The weight and strength of these units, which are virtually unlimited in size, provide a wide range of options for the designer.
The usual paver on a sand bed installation detail uses a stone unit that is just 1 1/4" thick compared to clay or concrete manufactured pavers which are at minimum 2 1/2" thick. It is best when used as a rigid system set on mortar setting bed.

For the past few days I've been lucky enough to be exploring Lapland, Finland on a media trip inspired by the latest season of the Bachelor.
And to sum it up as quickly as possible (because believe me, this experience deserves its own post), the trip has been incredible.
Lapland, located in the Arctic Circle and the official home of Santa Claus, is almost all forests. There are reindeer, huskies (and dog sledding!), mounds and mounds of snow, and endless seas of tranquil, unmolested white landscapes.
To say it's been a dream to shoot would be an understatement. And while we thus far have not caught a glimpse of the Northern Lights thanks to the cloudy evenings, I can suddenly understand why Finland is on so many people's bucket lists. It's unique. It's different. It's an adventure.
Yes it's VERY rural. VERY cold. And VERY Finnish. But it's really one of the true last wildernesses in the world. The feeling of standing out in the forest in complete solitude is over-whelming (and very good for you! The Japanese art of "forest bathing" has always been one of my favorite ways to relax).
And while I was nervous about the trip, especially because I've never travelled this far north before (even on our cruise to Alaska 2.5 years ago), I'm so glad I took the plunge instead of "staying ashore".
I can't wait to share more of our Finnish adventures but for now enjoy my outfit posts sans snow.


In 2018, the Cook County Board of Commissioners adopted a groundbreaking food procurement policy, championed by its Commission on Social Innovation, which placed racial justice at the center of the County's Good Food Purchasing Program commitment by including specific goals and strategies to address inequitable access to institutional supply chains for growers and food business owners of color. For this leadership, we honor the Cook County Board of Commissioners as our 2018 Good Food Policy Hero.
The strategies included in the policy define explicit pathways for Cook County to meet its commitment to the values of local economies, environmental sustainability, a valued workforce, animal welfare, and nutrition which are at the heart of the Good Food Purchasing Program's mission to create a transparent and equitable food system built on social justice and racial equity.

Q: Normal coordinates I was wondering if this is a legitimate way to define the induced basis of the tangent space in normal coordinates.
So the exponential map is a diffemorphism $exp:U \subset T_pM \rightarrow V \subset M.$ Then I assume that $\partial_i|_{exp(tR)}= Dexp(tR)(e_i)$ where $(e_i)$ is a fixed basis of the tangent space and $t \mapsto tR$ is a line in $U.$
Now my question is: Does this really define the induced basis of $T_{exp(tR)}M$?

Q: Spring data JPA InheritanceType.JOINED delete Not working I have implemented a database inheritance of type "InheritanceType.JOINED".
I have extended CrudRepository interface to do CRUD operations.After implementing some unit tests. i figure out that save & update works perfectly, but delete not working at all. So, what's makes this happen ?
Here is the code Unite test :
@RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
@SpringBootTest
public class LineCommandRepoTest {

    @Autowired
    CommandRepository commandRepository;

        lc.setQty(BigDecimal.valueOf(2000));
        lc.setRemise(BigDecimal.valueOf(2000));
        lc.setPrice(BigDecimal.valueOf(2000));
       // lineCommandRepository.save(lc);
        lineCommandRepository.save(lc);
        LineCommande lc2 = lineCommandRepository.findOne(4);
        Assert.assertTrue(lc.getPrice().equals(BigDecimal.valueOf(2000)));

    }

    public void insert() {
        Commande commande = commandRepository.findOne(1);
        Product p = produitRepository.findOne(1);
        LineCommande lc = new LineCommande();

        lc.setQty(BigDecimal.ONE);
        lc.setPrice(BigDecimal.ONE);
        lc.setRemise(BigDecimal.ONE);
        lc.setCommande(commande);
        lc.setProduct(p);

        lineCommandRepository.save(lc);
        Assert.assertTrue(lineCommandRepository.exists(lc.getIdLine()));

    }

@Test
    public void delete() {
      lineCommandRepository.delete(4);
        Assert.assertFalse(lineCommandRepository.exists(4));
    }

}

A: you need to call flush() after   lineCommandRepository.delete(4);
flush() doesn't exist in CrudRepository , but it's presenet in EntityManager


Well this has been a pretty weird week, weather wise. It was practically grilling weather and then two days of rain capped off with tornadoes. Hope everyone has been enjoying some nice homey food! I learned how to make tamales (much easier than I assumed).
- Easy, fast and simple foods are fine. The best even, when you make them yourself, so don't feel guilty. And if you DO feel guilty read this and feel better. Also, I still refuse to read anything Gwyneth writes about cooking on principal.
- A recap of how Chefs in NYC feel about "restaurant weeks".
- One of the perks of the short and money-limited elections in England is that they have time to vote on their prefered croissant shape and demand changes from their giant chain grocery stores.
- A look at why changing the food system in this country is nearly impossible without getting institutional food providers (i.e. Sodexo) on board.
- Soooooo, GMO labeling is super easy in other countries. And frankly, in a world where the packaging on my Masa and popcorn tell me in giant type that they are gluten free, those who want to avoid genetic modification should be able to (even though I think it's ridiculous at this point in time).
- Not specifically food related since no meat can be obtained from a robot deer, but this is a interesting way to stop illegal hunting.
- While the nominations for JBA's may have just been released, this week they gave recognition awards to some family favorite regional restaurants.
- OMG you guys, Pollan is EVERYWHERE. Two places of note this week are Netflix and a pretty legit promotional appearance on this week's Sporkful podcast.
- Some company profiles from the Good Food Business Accelerator.
- Storytelling, traditional/local foods, nutrient dense diets, food sovereignty: basically one great Q&A.
- And finally, the cookbooks you may be wanting in the next few months. And apparently Chrissy Teigen (her book is called Craveable or something like that) accidentally published her phone number, which is amusing. They must have forgone editing for extra marketing $$$ because I've seen stuff about her book everywhere.
- Speaking of which, by the time this post is publised Food52 will have released the first bracket of best cookbooks from the past year in their annual tournament style fight to the best.
- And finally, gawk at these ridiculous sales numbers from a restaurant in Alexandria celebrating their one year anniversary.

Herb Of The Month: Wood Betony
April 23, 2009 by	Dr. Colleen Huber 0 Comments
Wood betony or Stachys betonica was so highly prized in Europe that an Old Italian proverb advised: "Sell your coat and buy betony."
The Medicina Britannica of the 17th century primarily extols its virtues with regard to headache, claiming that "I have known the most obstinate headaches cured by breakfasting for a month or six weeks on a decoction of Betony made with new milk and strained."
Betony treats dyspepsia, poor appetite and indigestion, as well as internal wounds, including those of the GI tract.
Sores, including mouth sores, ulcers and boils all are indications for the use of Betony.
Wood betony was long considered to have powerful effect against evil spirits, and was planted in churchyards for this purpose. Many older churches and apothecary buildings still have wood betony growing around them to this day.

I'm participating in one of two fantastic shows opening this Sat, Nov.14 at KP PROJECTS/MKG in Los Angeles...Travis Louie will be exhibiting a wonderful new body of work, "Watch the Skies" and coinciding with that will be the Ray Harryhausen tribute group show "Wild About Harryhausen", which has been personally curated by Travis and features a stellar lineup of artists...I'm very proud to have a piece in this amazing exhibition.
"Alchemy from the Cracked Earth", is the title of my piece for Travis Louie's "WILD ABOUT HARRYHAUSEN" group show, which celebrates the brilliant career of master stop motion pioneer Ray Harryhausen and is opening this Sat. Nov. 14 at KP Projects/MKG in Los Angeles. This show has a truly amazing lineup of artists and I'm very proud to be part of it. The piece is an homage to the classic skeleton battle in JASON AND THE ARGONAUTS, my favorite R.H. film. The work of Ray Harryhausen has had a very big influence on me, beginning when I was a small child...as a matter of fact, one of my earliest memories is watching the skeleton battle on television. A true master, Harryhausen combined incredible animation technique with creature designs that were not only beautifully conceived and sculpted, but also had a wonderful sense of personality.
