YG Entertainment responds to reports of BLACKPINK changing agencies
YG Entertainment has responded to reports of a potential change in management for girl group BLACKPINK.

Earlier today, a report by Kpop Herald claimed that the girl group will be parting ways with their founding agency to join The Black Label, a YG Entertainment subsidiary headed by K-pop producer Teddy Park.
[Exclusive] @BLACKPINK will change their agency to YG affiliate @THEBLACKLABEL, founded by Teddy, according to our sources. The industry insider added that the discussions over changing the girls' management have been made since early this year. #BLACKPINK #블랙핑크 pic.twitter.com/dVup3zPfTC
— KpopHerald (@Kpop_Herald) December 30, 2022
In a separate report by The Korea Herald, an industry insider consulted by the media outlet claimed that discussions over the members' contracts and change in management were completed early this year. A representative from YG Entertainment has since responded to these reports, stating that "there's nothing [to] confirm regarding the news."
"What I can say is that our contracts with the members have not ended yet," the YG representative said of the news, per The Korea Herald. "It's hard to confirm whether they will sign with The Black Label or not after their contracts end."
Rumours of BLACKPINK's departure from the label come at the heels of several idols ending their exclusive contracts with the company. Earlier today (December 30), it was announced that YG Entertainment and iKON have "mutually agreed" to end the group's exclusive contract with the agency.
Earlier this week, Big Bang members Taeyang and Daesung also parted ways with the agency following the expiration of their contracts. It was later announced that Taeyang had signed an exclusive contract with The Black Label. Their departure from YG Entertainment comes several months after member T.O.P left the agency in February.

Should you retrofit your home with solar power? The short answers are: probably (for your hot-water); definitely (for your pool); and likely not (for your household electrical needs).
Your hot-water heater is an energy hog, accounting for up to one-quarter of your household's energy consumption. Add greenhouse gas emissions associated with conventional hot water heating – between 600 and 760 kilograms a year – and endlessly renewable, non-polluting sunshine seems a no-brainer.
Quallium, an Ottawa-based startup company, has installed solar electricity systems for clients hungering to go off-grid. The systems are especially practical for cottages far from hydro lines, says company owner Paul Fritz-Nemeth.
A solar hot-water system for a family of four needs a couple of glycol-filled collector panels installed, preferably, on a south-facing roof. Installation involves a couple of technicians clambering over your roof and through your basement for about a day and a half and you'll also need a municipal building permit.
Heavily insulated copper pipes carry the heated glycol from the panels down the outside of the house and into the basement, where a new hot-water tank with a heat exchanger feeds your existing unit. For optimal operation, the panels need direct sun from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. every day, although the storage tank does hold the heat for up to 24 hours. The water is hottest in late morning and early afternoon.
"From April to September, solar power will cover 90 per cent of your heating," said Michael McGahern, whose company, Ottawa Solar Power, sells, installs and services solar hot-water systems. "From June to September, it'll be 100 per cent." Factor in cloudy days and cooler temperatures through the balance of the year, and a solar power system will meet 50 to 60 per cent of your annual hot water needs.
A system for a family of four runs around $6,500, according to McGahern. With federal and provincial grants and rebates factored in, the system should have paid for itself in seven to eight years, he says. But if energy prices increase, as some predict they will, it should pay for itself more quickly than that.
A system runs between $3,000 and $5,000 and, like conventional pool heating, extends the swimming season by two to four weeks at both ends. These systems typically work by pumping the pool water through solar panels. Like other systems, components are usually long-lasting and low-maintenance.
While a $5,000 to $10,000 system can provide backup for critical household circuits to run furnace pumps and other basic equipment during a power failure, according to the experts, a full solar-based electricity-generating system with its array of sun-tracking photovoltaic panels, energy inverters and batteries will cost $30,000 and up for every 3 kW it produces.
What's more, homeowners usually have to pay for a backup generator or stay hooked to the hydro grid for those back-to-back days of cloud cover. McGahern faults Canadian governments for short-sightedness in not subsidizing solar technology as some European countries do.
Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. and Natural Resources Canada are good sources of information on most things solar.

Ecocentrism: a response to Paul Kingsnorth
Paul Kingsnorth's journey from a degraded environmentalism to nature-centred ways of living and thinking has many echoes for Andrew Dobson, but also clarifies a difference of outlook.
Paul Kingsnorth's impressive and heartfelt essay traces the evolution of modern environmental thought and practice through the prism of his personal experience (see Paul Kingsnorth, "Confessions of a recovering environmentalist", 16 August 2010). I was struck by how closely this experience matches the trajectory of a book I first published in 1990 called Green Political Thought and which has been through three more editions since.
I don't know what Paul Kingsnorth was reading at university when he came across "ecocentrism" and "green political thought" and "felt [my] mind levering itself open", but it's just possible that he read Green Political Thought - or something very much like it. In any case, recalling the life of that book might be useful in reflecting on the larger themes that Kingsnorth raises about the limits of "environmentalism" and the future of ways of living on the planet.
In the book I tried to describe and assess what seemed to me at the time to be a new political ideology to set alongside all the more familiar ones such as liberalism, conservatism, socialism, anarchism, and fascism.
I called this ideology "ecologism". I regarded it as a separate and new ideology because it could not be "contained" in and by any of the others without changing them in a fundamental way. I contrasted ecologism with "environmentalism", which I regarded as a managerial approach to environmental problems and which could comfortably be accommodated by the traditional ideologies. So you could be a socialist environmentalist, but you couldn't be a socialist political ecologist.
Every ideology has something at its heart that it can only give up at the cost of giving up its distinctiveness as an ideology. For socialists it's equality, for liberals it's freedom, and for conservatives it's something like tradition, or honouring the past.
At the heart of ecologism, as I saw it in 1990, there were two non-negotiable ideas: limits to growth, and the one Kingsnorth refers to - ecocentrism. Limits to growth is the recognition that we have only one planet, that it's of finite size, and so aspirations of unlimited economic growth (largely unquestioned by other ideologies) are unrealistic.
Ecocentrism is the belief that the non-human natural world has value irrespective of whether it's useful for human beings or not. Kingsnorth comments on the notion: "This word crystallised everything I had been feeling for years. I had no idea that there were words for it or that other people felt it too, or had written intimidating books about it". The idea made sense of his enduring refusal to believe "that humans were the centre of the world, that the Earth was their playground..."
So in 1990, ecocentrism was a key component of the newest ideological kid on the block: ecologism. As the years have gone by I have been asked to update Green Political Thought and it's now in its fourth edition. With each edition I have had to ask myself the same question: what is it that makes ecologism different from other political ideologies? The answer always depends to some degree on "ideas themselves", but it also depends on how many people hold those ideas. So a proper answer rests on a complex relationship between there being such a thing as "ecocentrism" and people actually subscribing to it.
The fourth edition was published in 2007 and by then - like Paul Kingsnorth - I was no longer so sure that ecocentrism was at the non-negotiable heart of ecologism. This wasn't because ecocentrism (as idea) didn't exist any more, but because environmentalists didn't seem talk about it so much. Just as Kingsnorth says, the sound of ecocentrism has been drowned out by the sound of pragmatic environmentalism. So while Kingsnorth might have felt himself in the vanguard twenty years ago, he's now fighting in the rearguard, desperately nurturing what he sees as the true flame of the movement from which he now feels so estranged.
And yet … and yet …
Are things really as bleak as Kingsnorth says? He offers us two extremes - ecocentrism or cornucopianism. His claim is that many in the environmental movement have joined the cornucopians by embracing a "save-the-world-with windfarms narrative". Kingsnorth characterises this as business-as-usual without the carbon. But this group is much more differentiated than Kingsnorth gives credit. There may indeed be a few who want a world exactly the same in all respects as the one we have now, but with fossil-fuels replaced by windfarms and solar-panels. But I suspect there are many more who are well aware that a low-carbon world will also be a low-energy world. Of necessity, human impact on the environment in this low-energy world will be lighter than it is at the moment, and that should please Kingsnorth a little.
This "energy descent" will be politically and socially perilous - there will be winners and losers, and history shows that in transitions of this sort it is nearly always the weak and vulnerable who suffer most. This is why the "environmental justice" of which Kingsnorth speaks so disparagingly is not an optional extra but an absolutely necessary feature of any commitment to a progressive transition to a low-energy world. If you want a presage of what the transition will be like without justice, look at Pakistan and Russia in these days of mid-summer 2010. One is inundated, with around 14 million people suffering dislocation at best and death at worst; the other burns in temperatures topping 40 degrees C, razing huge parts of Siberia. The rich suffer mild discomfort in times of stress and change, while the poor and vulnerable have no way out.
The real question
So the choice is not so much between ecocentrism and cornucopianism as between a hard landing or a soft landing on the shores of a low-energy future. Kingsnorth is right that our chances of making a soft landing will be improved if we can plug into his "emotional reaction to wild places and the other-than-human world". But he sets the bar too high and makes this reaction seem too difficult to achieve. This is very common in ecocentrics. The so-called "father of deep ecology", Arne Naess, lived on a Norwegian mountainside and it sometimes seemed as though he believed this isolation was a precondition for nurturing the right sensibility. Kingsnorth had his epiphany after boating up rivers in Borneo by moonlight - a "two-month immersion in something raw and unmediated". If this is what has to happen for us to reconnect, then we surely are in deep trouble.
Fortunately, it's not like that. Most people have a much lower nature tolerance than Kingsnorth, so we need less exposure to nature to get the same hit as he does. This is good news: I can see something worth protecting just about everywhere, and not only where nature is at its wildest.
So I don't believe the rift between Paul Kingsnorth and the rest of us to be as wide and deep as he makes out. But we need to recalibrate the question. It's not about nature's intrinsic value but about the human species adapting to a long era of low-energy living. This, I think, is where recovering environmentalists will meet - not (just) on the rivers of Borneo or in the mountains of Norway, but everywhere the human species is powering down to a potentially quieter, more restrained way of life. The challenge then will not be protecting nature alone, but protecting the weak and vulnerable of all species - humans included - as we embark on the energy descent.

Purdue basketball's inside-out dynamic may be dormant, but that doesn't mean it's dead
The Boilermakers' recent 3-point shooting slump doesn't seem like a long-term issue.
Nathan Baird
Journal & Courier
Thursday's game: No. 7 Purdue at Wisconsin, 7 p.m., ESPN
Boilermakers dropped to No. 6 in AP poll and No. 7 in coaches poll.
Purdue shooting 33 percent from 3-point range over the past five games.
WEST LAFAYETTE — At its best, Purdue basketball has paired lethal perimeter shooting with the post-scoring efficiency of Isaac Haas.
Yet it was also probably unreasonably to expect that synchronicity to perform at maximum effectiveness all season. As the Boilermakers' perimeter shooting dipped in recent weeks, so has its dominance.
On nine occasions, Purdue has made fewer than eight 3-pointers in a game. Four have come in the last five games, and in the other game, it made exactly eight. The Boilermakers are shooting 33 percent from beyond the arc in that span.
The No. 6 Boilermakers recognized the issue after making 6 of 19 in Saturday's loss at Michigan State, but brushed off any concerns about a long-term issue.
For one thing, Purdue was shooting 44.2 percent from 3 before the skid, and still ranks an enviable third nationally in that statistic.
For another, Vincent Edwards' 3-for-21 performance over the past five games — which included a well-publicized illness — has single-handedly dragged that percentage down. The career 40 percent 3-point shooter accounts for over 20 percent of the team's deep attempts in that stretch.
"We're getting the shots we want to get," said senior point guard P.J. Thompson, a 40 percent-plus 3-point shooter the past three years who went 0-for-5 in last Wednesday's loss against Ohio State.
"The right people are shooting the basketball. We're getting the shots we got all year that we've made. As log as you're taking the food shots and they're in your rhythm, it's fine. We've just got to keep shooting."
BRACKET REVEAL:Purdue basketball a No. 1 seed, for now
The Michigan State performance in particular is difficult to analyze in the bigger picture. The Spartans essentially allowed Purdue to throw the ball inside to Isaac Haas — whose career field goal percentage of 58.6 coming into that game ranked fourth in program history. Then they deprived Haas of a deep position, forcing him to take the majority of his 22 shots away from the basket via turnarounds and fadeaways.
Purdue attempted only five 3-pointers in the second half and missed all of them. (It had made 6 of 12 in the first half.)
One natural question is whether that post-heavy influence contributes to the Boilermakers' ability to hit 3s when they take them.
"You're still out there moving around, cutting in space," said Mathias, who made 4 of 10 from long distance combined in the two losses. "I wouldn't say it's hard to get in a rhythm."
GREGG DOYEL:Spartans had blueprint to beat Purdue; who else can follow it?
As Purdue showed in the first half, feeding Haas and hitting 3-pointers haven't been mutually exclusive.
Purdue made 45 percent of its 3s while Haas scored 21 at Maryland. It made 12 of 21 at Michigan, which mostly defended Haas straight-up with Moritz Wagner. It shot the lights out of Mackey Arena when the Wolverines tried the same thing again.
"I wish we would have made some 3s in the second half," Painter said. "I thought in the first half we had a good balance of making some 3s and going inside."
In both losses last week, Purdue couldn't extend or even maintain a four or five-possession lead going into halftime.
The Boilermakers led Ohio State by nine with 2:02 to play after Carsen Edwards hit a jumper. The Buckeyes responded with seven straight points. Purdue missed two shots and turned the ball over once in that span.
Michigan State closed with five straight points to halve what had been a 10-point Purdue lead with 1:16 left in the half. There the Spartans simply capitalized on two possessions which sandwiched a missed jump shot by Dakota Mathias.
One can't extrapolate too much from small sample sizes. File both under the small details that add up in games decided by one possession.
"When we go back and look at lineups and different things, there's nothing that jumps out as consistent in some of our errors," Painter said. "We have to do a better job of maintaining leads and finishing up the half."
Poll position
Two losses last week didn't immediately cost Purdue its position as a projected No. 1 NCAA Tournament seed.
However, the Boilermakers did drop in the polls for the first time in several weeks.
Purdue fell three spots to No. 6 in the Associated Press poll. Virginia took over the No. 1 spot, and Michigan State climbed to No. 2.
The Boilermakers slipped four spots to No. 7 in the USA Today coaches poll. Michigan State is the new No. 1 there.
Michigan State's Miles Bridges, who hit the game-winning shot against Purdue with 2.6 seconds to play, was named Big Ten Player of the Week.

Japan Parliament Re-elects Abe as PM
11/1/2017 | 6:04 AM CDT
TOKYO (AP) -- Japan's lower house of parliament re-elected Shinzo Abe as prime minister on Wednesday after his party won a resounding victory in a snap election last month.
Abe, who has been Japan's leader since December 2012, easily won the race with 312 votes in the 465-seat lower house. He is expected to reappoint the same ministers to his Cabinet later in the day.
The 63-year-old Abe dissolved the lower house in late September to force an election. Political analysts saw the move as an attempt to win a fresh public mandate and re-establish his hold on power after a plunge in his approval ratings last summer.
His Liberal Democratic Party won a large majority in the Oct. 22 vote. Together with a junior coalition partner, the Komei Party, it retained a two-thirds majority in the lower house.
The victory boosts Abe's chances of being re-elected as LDP leader next September to a fresh three-year term, potentially extending his premiership to 2021.


FNA result Indeterminate doc says wait 4-6 months huh?
I am new here. Glad to see there is a board to ask questions and get support.
Ijust spoke with Doc friday and was told one of the nodules that had an FNNA biopsy came back as indeterminate. I have been researching the internet and thay all say to have the nodule removed. I have 2 nodules on each lobes. Doc wants to wait 4-6 month and do another biopsy. That does not make sense to me. My symptoms have come on so rapidly these past 6 weeks. I feel aweful and my fatigues grows everyday. I can't function well and only last at work till about 2 pm and I just want to curl up and lay down. My skin also is getting more drier each day. It is hard to swalow at times, my voice is hoarse on and off, and I sweat at night like crazy. I also feel like I have a fever in the evening. I had the Doc do an Ultrasound and that is how we found the 2 nodules. I also asked her to do a blood test even though she kept telling me that my TSH is normal. well Friday shwe told me it is still normal so i asked what the number was and what my T4 was.
My TSH was 0.9 (normal) and my T4 is below normal.
Can anyone tell me if they have had this result or offer any suggestions? I feel I should not even wait a week and get this treated. I am also on an insulin pump and I have now become resistant to my insulin. I am not winning this battle! HELP!
Re: FNA result Indeterminate doc says wait 4-6 months huh?
Indeterminate is different than suspicious, it could be they couldn't draw enough cells to get a good sample---this is really common.
Are you seeing a surgeon, or an endo? If you believe it's the nodules giving you so much discomfort, you can get another opinion.
These things usually dont grow rapidly, so they are not an emergency.

Q: Cannot seem to use CGRectIntegral and CGRectInset functions in Swift Sorry for the novice question.
But just as the title says, I can't seem to use these functions in Swift 3. I have tried by importing the CoreGraphics library, but to no avail.
Does anyone know why?
Thanks in advance.

A: *

*
import CoreGraphics

*let rect = CGRect()
 let rectIntegral = rect.integral
Thanks:)

A: Actually you don't need to import CoreGraphics.
In Swift 3 Objective-C function
CGRect CGRectIntegral(CGRect rect)

has become
var integral: CGRect { get }

and
CGRect CGRectInset(CGRect rect, CGFloat dx, CGFloat dy);

has become
func insetBy(dx: CGFloat, dy: CGFloat) -> CGRect

Both API have to be called on the CGRect instance for example
let newFrame = view.frame.insetBy(dx: 10.0, dy:10.0)

A hint to find out yourself

*

*Press ⇧⌘0

*Type CGRectIn in the search field

*In the popup menu set the language to Objective C

*Select one of the functions

*Set the language to Swift

A: The functions are working fine, but their names have changed (a bit):
  let frame = CGRect.zero
  let x = frame.integral
  frame.insetBy(dx: 0, dy: 0)

Facebook To Turn Over Russia Ads To Congress As Part Of 9-Step Plan To Protect Election Integrity
Carl Velasco, Tech Times 22 September 2017, 10:09 am
Facebook is currently embroiled in a messy situation. It's being probed and accused of many things for the part it allegedly played during the 2016 presidential election.
Here's the brief of it: Russia apparently used the social network to spread ads, with the intention to cause pre-election discord among voters, and Facebook only recently admitted that to be true.
Special counsel Robert Mueller, who's currently looking into President Donald Trump's possible ties with Russia, already combed through more than 3,000 Facebook ads linked to Russia.
Initially, Facebook had apprehensions sharing this data to the Congress over fears of sensitive data leaking to the public, but the social network has softened up after a long privacy and legal review, according to Bloomberg.
Facebook Wants To Protect Election Integrity
In a video posted to Facebook on Thursday, Sept. 21, CEO Mark Zuckerberg gave a nine-step outline the company would follow to "protect election integrity" and ensure the platform "is a force for good in democracy."
"I don't want anyone to use our tools to undermine democracy," Zuckerberg said. "That's not what we stand for. The integrity of our elections is fundamental to democracy around the world."
The first step is the delivery of $100,000 worth of Russia ads to government officials and investigators. Facebook will start disclosing which pages purchased political ads on its network, a move which Capitol Hill democrats told the Federal Election Commission to push for this week, as Business Insider reports.
Facebook Outlines 9 Steps To Prevent Future Election Interference
Here's what Facebook plans to do, according to Zuckerberg:
• First, the company will actively work with the U.S. government as it looks into possible Russian interference during the 2016 elections.
• Second, the company plans to continue its own investigation on what might have happened on the platform during the election period. Should it discover more evidences pertinent to the overall investigation, it will continue to work with authorities and government officials. This probe, however, will take some time.
• Third, Facebook is going to make political ads more transparent and clear-cut. Facebook will allow users to see which pages bought political ads, in addition to all ads they're running for different audiences. This can help people determine whether there's variation in terms of messaging, since users can't be 100 percent sure if the ad they're seeing is also the ad someone else is seeing.
• Fourth, Facebook will improve its ad review policies for political ads.
• Fifth, it's going to beef up its security investment to protect election integrity. It will do this by doubling the team tasked to work on election integrity, with over 250 people across all teams who will prioritize community safety and security.
• Sixth, Facebook plans to widen its partnerships and collaboration with election commissions globally.
• Seventh, Facebook will commit to sharing threat information with other tech firms and security enterprises.
• Eight, it will work to strengthen the democratic process by creating more services that will protect the Facebook community while engaging in political discussions.
• Finally, Facebook plans to put money where its mouth is by ensuring the integrity of the German elections by detecting fake accounts, working closely with public authorities, and disclosing security measures with parties and candidates.
On the one hand, it's still pretty much up for debate whether Facebook did have a hand in enabling Russia to influence the outcome of the 2016 presidential election. But on the other hand, it's undeniable that Facebook has evolved from an avenue for socializing to a full-blown advertising platform, so one can argue that the criticisms it's now facing are just apt.
For more information on Facebook's involvement in the alleged Russian election interference, read Facebook's post covering its decision to share the ads with Congress, its knowledge of the ads, and more.

What is the difference between MBCP and other childbirth education classes? All childbirth education classes are different depending on the location of the class, the teacher, the teacher's background, experience, and education, and we can only speak for our own classes with any authority. However, generally, childbirth education classes cover extensive information about labor and birth, and often breastfeeding and newborn care (depending on the class). The focus in most childbirth education classes is on information as a tool of power, and this is important. Information is indeed power, and having more of it can allow people to assess options, make decisions, and have an educated voice in their care. We believe in this as a right and an asset. However, it is also our strong belief that information is not what gets people through birth, and that while vital and useful, it is a person's inner resources that get them through the intense, sensation-filled, embodied experience of birth. MBCP is a childbirth education course and mindfulness training in one. The time and financial commitment reflect this more extensive training. It is this cultivation of inner resources, though, that sets MBCP apart. The skills students gain in class support them for more than birth and parenting - they support them for all of the ever changing moments of life - the highs, the lows, and everything in between.
Is there a difference in content, though, between MBCP and other childbirth education classes? Practically speaking, childbirth education classes will spend more time on the details of labor and birth, as well as possible interventions for birth (induction, epidural, Cesarean), whereas in MBCP, we spend the necessary time on a foundational understanding of labor and birth, but choose not to spend an abundance of time on information that may or may not be relevant to students, given that we can't predict what will happen in their particular birth. We do spend a good deal of time in mindfulness practice - awareness of moment-to-moment experience -- allowing students to cultivate the presence within themselves that will help them engage with whatever comes up in their actual birth experience. We also set the foundation for navigating how to mindfully make decisions, and how to skillfully partner with your care providers during the labor and delivery process.
Will I learn what I need to learn to give birth? I don't want to miss out on important information! Yes, you will...and also, no you will not. Let us explain: You will come away from this class with a clear understanding of the general trajectory of labor and birth, as well as breastfeeding and first days at home with baby. However, every birth is unique, and there is no way to gather enough information, no matter how many classes you take, to know every single thing you'll want to know / need to know / wish you had known about birth beforehand. Birth (like all of life) is one part predictable -- and three parts mystery. There will always be information you didn't know, or things that happen during birth that surprise you. Mindfulness practice cultivates both the inner knowing that you have everything you need within you to go through your birth experience, as well as the presence of mind to be able and open to finding information when you need it, and dealing with things as they arise, moment-to-moment as you give birth. By honing these resources, students become more comfortable with all of the inevitable unknowns.
I am confused about the difference between Mindfulness-Based Childbirth and Parenting, the ten-week class, and the Mind in Labor. What are the differences, and how do I decide between MBCP and MIL? The Mind in Labor intensive, typically a two-and-a-half-day training, draws from the MBCP curriculum. The intensive covers the mind-body relationship in pregnancy and birth by introducing the practical components of MBCP (mindfulness meditation, yoga, partner support) as well as covering the theoretical framework of how the mind and body deal with physical and psychological experiences, including how to work with pain in labor. We have subtitled the MIL "Working with Fear, Pain and Uncertainty in Childbirth" to let participants know that these aspects of the mind are what we will be addressing, but the MBCP is a deeper look at working with the same content simply because it is a longer class. Deciding between MIL vs MBCP sometimes comes down to logistics (time, location, or where you are in your pregnancy) vs the desire to go deeper into mindfulness practice, skill-building and development of community that inevitably occur with the 10-class curriculum. If you have taken MBCP before in a prior pregnancy the MIL can be a wonderful refresher in a subsequent pregnancy.
What trimester of pregnancy should I start MBCP? While many expectant parents take this class during their third trimester, taking MBCP at any time during the pregnancy is useful, and we are happy for you to take it whenever comfortable for you. Also, given the length of the class, it's a good idea to be aware of our teaching schedule, because sometimes when people wait too long to take it, they miss the opportunity to do so! You can never practice too much / too early!
Can I take MBCP and a standard childbirth education course? Sure! But please note that for Lifecycle WomanCare clients, our MBCP class can be taken in place of the required Childbirth Preparation class for first-time parents.
Is this class only for people who want a "natural" birth? What if I'm needing to have a cesarean delivery, or want to get an epidural? This class is for anyone, and particularly useful for anyone who is also interested in exploring the nature of life, reality, their own mind, and its connection to their body. Mindfulness skills are universally useful, and so they are useful during intense, unmedicated contractions, as well as during birth with medical pain relief, or during a Cesarean section, planned or unplanned, or anything else.
Will this class support me if I want to have a birth with no medical interventions? Yes. Mindfulness skills are found to be incredibly supportive during challenging experiences, emotional, physical, or metaphysical. To be clear, this class will not necessarily get you the unmedicated birth you want, but no class will. This class will give you skills to use to deal with birth and life as it arises, moment by moment.
Do you teach breastfeeding and newborn care? Yes, we do. Though, again, we take the approach of teaching content in context of mindfulness practice. We spend the better part of a class on breastfeeding, and two classes talking about early days postpartum, life with newborns, and mindful family making. There is a lot of conversation around life with babies and what to do when you suddenly find yourself living with a new person who mainly sleeps, eats, and poops. And, (spoiler alert) we invite recently-birthed couples and their babies to join us for our last class so that you can hear about their experience (and have a live baby demonstration!) We don't teach people how to change diapers (though we are happy to do so if you want a lesson after class for a few minutes!) or go over details that you can learn from your provider / nurse after birth or easily from a book (again, because of the likelihood of information overload or irrelevance). Information is readily available and we are happy to share resources. We find it is more useful to spend time in present-moment practice, and an exploration of what that means for feeding and caring for a newborn.
Do I need to have experience with mindfulness or meditation to take the class? Both beginning and experienced meditators are welcome.
Does this class require time outside of class-time? Indeed! Mindfulness practice is experiential education. It requires the participation of each and all. So that people can get a real jumpstart on having a mindfulness practice, understanding what that means, and seeing its benefits in their lives, we ask that everyone taking the class commit to a formal mindfulness practice (with weekly guided meditations) for 30 minutes / day, 6 days / week, while in the class. It is hard to see the benefits of mindfulness practice without regular practice, so the commitment supports everyone in benefiting from class. Also, we recognize that everyone taking the class is human, so therefore, practice will not always happen exactly as planned. Dealing with things not going according to plan is a practice in itself!
Do I have to be a first-time parent to take this class? No! This class is great for both beginning and experienced parents. The majority of people taking childbirth education classes are first time parents, but this is a class that is particularly useful for experienced parents as well. We know it can be extra difficult for parents to arrange to come to class together, but this can be a particularly enjoyable class to take with your partner once you already have a child / children, as it gives you a shared language around practice that you can integrate into your experience of already being a parent. It's also wonderful for people who may be looking to have a different experience this time than the last time they gave birth.
I really want to take this class but I can't afford it. We want this class to be accessible to anyone who really wants to take it. If money is the prohibiting factor, please get in touch and we will work something out.
I really want to take this class but I have to miss a class or two because of previous plans. This class is a commitment, and we ask that everyone plans to be there for all classes, however, we understand that things happen and sometimes people have to miss class--particularly in the longer class series. If it's a class or two you'll need to miss, just let us know and we will catch you up in whatever ways possible.
Do I have to take this class with a partner? If you have a partner, we ask that you take the class with them. If you don't have a partner, you are welcome to take the class alone or with another support person (doula / friend / family member).
What if I have a partner but they don't want to take this class? One especially great thing about MBCP is that this is a childbirth education class is equally as useful and relevant for partners as it is for pregnant moms. Partners do not just have to come along for the ride! Every person has their own mindfulness practice, and benefits from it individually. Partners often remark that they are surprised by how much they got out of the class , not merely as a support person, but just for themselves, in their own right. Taking the class together also provides a shared language and understanding about practice that tends to lay a foundation for more understanding between partners and benefits couple communication as well, so the skills, again, reach way beyond birth. The class is a commitment, though, and it doesn't serve anyone for someone to be in it who doesn't want to be there. If one partner wants to take it and the other really doesn't, let's talk and see what we can work out.
What about your Mindful Parenting Workshops and Classes: do I have to have taken MBCP, or have a mindfulness practice, to participate? When we started going out into the community to tell people about MBCP, we heard people say, again and again: "Why weren't you around years ago when I gave birth?! Now I need mindfulness as a parent...will you please include me?" As parents ourselves, we understand! We invite everyone to participate in our Mindful Parenting offerings...including blooming parents (pregnant or considering adoption, for example), parents of children of any age (birth, school-aged, teens and beyond); we have even had grandparents come to our workshops! Most of our one-day or drop-in parenting events are accessible to beginning mindfulness practitioners. By offering month-long or consecutive Mindful Parenting Class Series we hope to expose folks to the benefits of sustained, supported practice, as well as grow a class community. We know how difficult it is to find the time to step away from the everyday tasks of parenting, but we truly believe in the numerous benefits you will receive by exploring mindful parenting!


As the Green Clean Institute enters its twefth year, we are pleased to have grown in many ways. We have seen staff changes, upgraded our courses to video, and added new ideas to bring great value to every community. Now, we offer the GHBP point system that finally demonstrates what Green cleaning really means.
Candace is the Director of Operations and has been the pleasant voice answering calls throughout the day, and handling computer operations and data management. She has been with the company since the inception and works hard to assure that the promises made are fulfilled. The system has changed over the years, and as we move into 2017, the website, the infrastructure, and the systems have been upgraded. Our courses have evolved to be the best opportunity to create a better cleaning service where it counts: the people doing the work.
"As a Registered Nurse, I know the power of Green cleaning like few others. I have seen my peers struggle with late-in-life illnesses that we now know are connected to cleaning chemicals and poor cleaning practices. Over the years, we have trained hundreds of cleaning organizations, and we have greatly improved every aspect of the operation."
The GCI Green and Healthy Building Partnership is also a powerful idea whose time has come. We have adopted the mission statement of "Education followed by Implementation", so the big question was how to take the great ideas found in our courses to the actual work done in thousands of buildings. So, we are opening the door to those dedicated cleaning firms who want to do more than make empty promises.
Our mission is training, certification, and better management for cleaning services. Essentially, the Green Clean Institute is an industry-wide certification that works to raise the standard for the industry. The first step in any certification program is training. To that end, we have online courses and we work with various training centers to provide live classes.
We have three groups of certifications: Individuals and firms, Green and Healthy Building Partnership (GHBP), and Green Product certifications. Thus, we have a third-party process for integrity and professionalism in cleaning and janitorial services. Each program has reasonable and proper steps to earn a recognized certification.
Green Product Certification: An earned certification based on a simple criteria for a Green and Heathy product.
INTERNATIONALLY, the Green Clean Institute has cleaning organization in Canada, England, Norway, Peru, Malaysia, Dubai, Saudi Arabia, and Mexico.
If English is not a barrier to educating the staff, the GCI curriculum can be applied anywhere in the world.

Kerwin Kaye (Wesleyan University) , Enforcing Freedom: Drug Courts, Therapeutic Communities, and the Intimacies of the State (Columbia University Press)
In 1989, the first drug-treatment court was established in Florida, inaugurating an era of state-supervised rehabilitation. Such courts have frequently been seen as a humane alternative to incarceration and the war on drugs. Enforcing Freedom offers an ethnographic account of drug courts and mandatory treatment centers as a system of coercion, demonstrating how the state uses notions of rehabilitation as a means of social regulation.
Situating drug courts in a long line of state projects of race and class control, Kerwin Kaye details the ways in which the violence of the state is framed as beneficial for those subjected to it. He explores how courts decide whether to release or incarcerate participants using nominally colorblind criteria that draw on racialized imagery. Rehabilitation is defined as the preparation for low-wage labor and the destruction of community ties with "bad influences," a process that turns participants against one another. At the same time, Kaye points toward the complex ways in which participants negotiate state control in relation to other forms of constraint in their lives, sometimes embracing the state's salutary violence as a means of countering their impoverishment. Simultaneously sensitive to ethnographic detail and theoretical implications, Enforcing Freedom offers a critical perspective on the punitive side of criminal-justice reform and points toward alternative paths forward.
Anna Mae Duane (University of Connecticut), Educated for Freedom: The Incredible Story of Two Fugitive Schoolboys Who Grew Up to Change a Nation
In the 1820s, few Americans could imagine a viable future for black children. Even abolitionists saw just two options for African American youth: permanent subjection or exile. Educated for Freedom tells the story of James McCune Smith and Henry Highland Garnet, two black children who came of age and into freedom as their country struggled to grow from a slave nation into a free country.
Smith and Garnet met as schoolboys at the Mulberry Street New York African Free School, an educational experiment created by founding fathers who believed in freedom's power to transform the country. Smith and Garnet's achievements were near-miraculous in a nation that refused to acknowledge black talent or potential. The sons of enslaved mothers, these schoolboy friends would go on to travel the world, meet Revolutionary War heroes, publish in medical journals, address Congress, and speak before cheering crowds of thousands. The lessons they took from their days at the New York African Free School #2 shed light on how antebellum Americans viewed black children as symbols of America's possible future. The story of their lives, their work, and their friendship testifies to the imagination and activism of the free black community that shaped the national journey toward freedom.

Michael Aaron Rockland (Rutgers University), The George Washington Bridge : Poetry in Steel (revised and expanded; Rutgers University Press)
Since opening in 1931, the George Washington Bridge, linking New York and New Jersey, has become the busiest bridge in the world, with 103 million vehicles crossing it in 2016. Many people also consider it the most beautiful bridge in the world, yet remarkably little has been written about this majestic structure.
Intimate and engaging, this revised and expanded edition of Michael Rockland's rich narrative presents perspectives on the GWB, as it is often called, that span history, architecture, engineering, transportation, design, the arts, politics, and even post-9/11 mentalities. This new edition brings new insight since its initial publication in 2008, including a new chapter on the infamous "Bridgegate" Chris Christie-era scandal of 2013, when members of the governor's administration shut down access to the bridge, causing a major traffic jam and scandal and subsequently helping undermine Christie's candidacy for the US presidency.
Stuart Schrader (Johns Hopkins University), Badges Without Borders: How Global Counterinsurgency Transformed American Policing (University of California Press)
From the Cold War through today, the U.S. has quietly assisted dozens of regimes around the world in suppressing civil unrest and securing the conditions for the smooth operation of capitalism. Casting a new light on American empire, Badges Without Borders shows, for the first time, that the very same people charged with global counterinsurgency also militarized American policing at home.
In this groundbreaking exposé, Stuart Schrader shows how the United States projected imperial power overseas through police training and technical assistance—and how this effort reverberated to shape the policing of city streets at home. Examining diverse records, from recently declassified national security and intelligence materials to police textbooks and professional magazines, Schrader reveals how U.S. police leaders envisioned the beat to be as wide as the globe and worked to put everyday policing at the core of the Cold War project of counterinsurgency. A "smoking gun" book, Badges Without Borders offers a new account of the War on Crime, "law and order" politics, and global counterinsurgency, revealing the connections between foreign and domestic racial control.

Top WikiLeaks Revelations on Clinton Corruption
News: Commentary
by Rodney Pelletier • ChurchMilitant.com • October 31, 2016
The Wikileaks revelations have been crucial in exposing the criminal activity of Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. They confirm what many have known and suspected for years — that Hillary and Bill Clinton have been subverting the safety of the United States and its citizens for their own personal gain.
Hillary and her campaign have been seeking to skew poll numbers
Emails revealed on October 25 show Hillary's campaign attempting to slant polls by using false data and oversampling. The campaign sought to poll racial and ethnic groups that vote overwhelmingly Democrat, including Blacks, Native Americans and Hispanics.
Emails prove Project Veritas videos are true
Clinton was dealt a serious blow when investigative journalist James O'Keefe released a series of undercover videos under the Project Veritas Action Fund. A WikiLeaks email proves the Democratic National Convention directly ordering operatives to incite mischief and violence at Trump rallies. The undercover video, titled "Rigging the Election," shows prominent campaign members admitting to provoking assaults at Trump rallies, committing mass voter fraud, and accepting foreign money from shady overseas bank accounts. Moreover, Clinton's own campaign members admit she has full knowledge of the crimes committed and is personally involved.
Clinton's campaign knew she had classified emails on her personal server
While Clinton was busy denying to Congress that she did anything wrong by keeping classified documents on an unapproved and insecure home server, her campaign was horrified. In fact, she denied that her server was hacked while her staff knew the opposite was true. The bigger problem is the revelation that President Obama — denying that he even knew about Clinton's server — had been in communication with her via her private emails, using a pseudonym to cover up the fact.
Hillary Clinton received money from countries directly supporting ISIS
Emails show Hillary knows that Saudi Arabia and Qatar fund the Muslim Brotherhood and ISIS. One of them acknowledges that "the governments of Qatar and Saudi Arabia ... are providing clandestine financial and logistic support to ISIL and other radical Sunni groups in the region."
But that's not all. Hillary and her husband accepted tens of millions of dollars from both countries openly supporting the oppression or death of the people she pledges to protect, like women and homosexuals.
She admits she has public and private opinoions on policies
In a talk to Wall Street bankers, she admits she presents her opinion differently according to the audience she is addressing, sometimes even holding completely contrary opinions to those she publicly claims to hold.
"But if everybody's watching, you know, all of the back room discussions and the deals, you know, then people get a little nervous, to say the least. So, you need both a public and a private position."
Called Latinos "needy"
Although the Clinton campaign claims to care about and want to help Latinos, an email shows Podesta, Clinton's campaign chairman, calling Latinos "needy." She has also referred to black men as "super-predators" who need to be "brought to heel."
She rigs foreign elections
In 2006, a recording shows Secretary of State Clinton lamenting she didn't rig Palestinian elections.
I do not think we should have pushed for an election in the Palestinian territories. I think that was a big mistake. And if we were going to push for an election, then we should have made sure that we did something to determine who was going to win.
Americans sickened by Clinton's corruption
A CNN interview with Podesta shows just how sick and tired people are of Clinton's corruption.
The crowd can be heard to shout "I read your emails, Podesta!" and "Podesta for prison!" A woman cries out several times "Liar!" He is clearly getting flustered as he tries to answer questions but clearly, he's not as upset as Americans of all political parties learning of Clinton's deceptions.
Since the FBI's announcement of its intention to renew the investigation into Clinton's use of private emails, she has been slipping in the polls, and even news organizations like CNN and the Washington Post, traditionally in the tank for Clinton, are distancing themselves from her. With fewer than two weeks from the election, it remains to be seen how much of an impact the WikiLeaks revelations, coupled with the FBI probe, will continue to damage Clinton's chances of being elected the new leader of the United States.

Wikileaks Emails: Hillary Clinton Campaign Shows Contempt for Catholics
WikiLeaks: Hillary Clinton Campaign Plots Revolution in Catholic Church


A prominent hallmark of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is the presence of proteinaceous cytoplasmic inclusion bodies that contain the cytoskeletal protein actin in neurons. We and others have shown that energy depletion and oxidative stress can induce cytoplasmic rods in cortical and hippocampal neurons. These rods, which contain actin and at least one member of the actin-depolymerizing factor (ADF)/cofilin family of proteins, are thought to be precursors to inclusion bodies. Our goal was to determine if similar conditions would induce the formation of rods in spinal cord neurons. We previously observed the generation of spontaneous rods in spinal cord neurons. To combat this problem, we added antioxidants to growth medium and found that they decreased spontaneous rod formation. In addition, ATP-depletion and peroxide exposure induced rods in spinal cord neurons grown in medium containing antioxidants. The rods induced by ATP-depletion were reversible. In contrast, those induced by peroxide exposure were not. Furthermore, a rapid dephosphorylation (activation) of ADF and cofilin preceded rod formation. Finally, our studies suggest that a minimum level of ADF is critical for rod formation because Swiss 3T3 fibroblasts do not form rods and contain one-third the ADF of cortical neurons and one-ninth the ADF of spinal cord neurons. We propose that oxidative stress and energy depletion promote the formation of ADF /cofilin-actin rods, which may contribute to the neurodegeneration associated with ALS.

All Neon Like Love by Dan Gennoe
It's an awkward paradox when a new writer pens an acclaimed debut novel. I am excited by the prospect of a fresh voice, an undiscovered talent waiting to be unwrapped like a gift. Then the potential disappointment.
My expectations were too high, the gift is glitter and not gold. Added to this is the fact that this is a love story, which I am not generally keen on. But hang on, this is a dark love story. I decide to take the plunge.
The opening describes a scene, a memory that flashes like neon lights. I love how Gennoe uses this imagery, sentences written like poetry and flashing lights, in short bursts. We can sense the passion, the longing, the memories.
The rest of the book focuses on how our hero tries to find his lost love by checking up on her and following into another country. The dark element becomes apparent: he is a stalker. And although he may believe that he is in love with this mysterious woman, in reality she is his fantasy and infatuation. The sex is fantastic, obviously.
Gennoe uses a repetition technique of describing unknown people that I find quite amusing. I guess that is how some of our minds work and certainly for the main character. For example, the 'hot, almost Goth barrister' and the 'smart, middle-aged man in the grey suit' terms are used every time the character is referenced. Some readers find this style a bit off-putting. To me, it is almost child-like, which I think the protagonist is.
The neon lights is an apt symbol for this love affair. Bright, alluring but also cheap and superficial. He knows practically nothing about the love of his life, not where she lives, her friends or just about anything else. That is exciting to him. She is confident, alluring...and the rest. He is a stereotypical man who is easily distracted by other women, which appears to be his downfall.
This is a detailed book where I feel as if I know the main character. Not too keen on him though. It is an uncomfortably drawn out tale, possibly deliberately so, but just a bit too much for me to the point where I was glad it was finished. Still, it is a great debut novel and I'm sure there will be more from Dan Gennoe.

Q: EC2 instances go missing when shutdown I am facing a strange issue in which I lose the instance when I shut it down. I launched publicly available ami-ccb35ea5 for Centos and after running it for couple of hours I bought it down but issuing shutdown –h now command.
In the AWS Web Console, the instance went to terminated state and after few hours I was not even able to see it.
Not sure why the instances are getting disappeared.
Any help on this is highly appreciated.

A: Found the answer here:
http://aws.amazon.com/ec2/faqs/#What_is_the_difference_between_using_the_local_instance_store_and_Amazon_Elastic_Block_storage_for_the_root_device

A: Changing the Instance Initiated Shutdown Behavior
By default, when you initiate a shutdown from an Amazon EBS-backed instance (using a command such as shutdown, halt, or poweroff), the instance stops. You can change this behavior using the InstanceInitiatedShutdownBehavior attribute for the instance so that it terminates instead. You can update this attribute while the instance is running or stopped.
You can update the InstanceInitiatedShutdownBehavior attribute using the Amazon EC2 console or the command line. The InstanceInitiatedShutdownBehavior attribute only applies when you perform a shutdown from the operating system of the instance itself; it does not apply when you stop an instance using the StopInstances API or the Amazon EC2 console.
To change the shutdown behavior of an instance using the console

*

*Open the Amazon EC2 console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/.

*In the navigation pane, choose Instances.

*Select the instance, select Actions, Instance Settings, and then choose Change Shutdown Behavior. The current behavior is
  already selected.

*To change the behavior, select an option from the Shutdown behavior list, and then select Apply.

He's not alone. You never know when or where a Connie fan might turn up. A little research on the Internet revealed that there is a "Save The Connie" group of Constellation fans based in Kansas City, MO.
The model 1049G that is being rebuilt at the Griffiss Business and Technology Park is believed to be the last of its kind. EAC is under contract to restore the plane and will eventually send it to the Museum of Flight in Seattle for display.
A few weeks ago, Lacey was telling a visitor about the history of the 53-year-old plane and showing off its interior, which has been wrapped in protective plastic. As he climbed down from the plane and returned to the tarmac, he was greeted by a young man wearing an "In Flight Canada" logo on his shirt.
Brian Kucherepa was at the Empire Aero Center on business, but he said he couldn't believe his eyes when he saw the Connie. "I used to eat there a lot," he told Lacey.
Several times in its colorful past, the airplane was used as a conference facility, cocktail lounge, deli and restaurant, and its bar is still in place. From 1998 to 2002, the plane sat at the north end of Pearson International Airport in Toronto and was used as a bar and restaurant.
However, the business failed because the plane was so far removed from the terminal. It was parked in an industrial section amid cargo hangars, said Kucherepa, and the owners never advertised it. They actually lost money on the venture, so the plane was not maintained and even abandoned for a spell. A website (www.geocities.com/constellation1049g) even said the Super Connie was advertised for sale on e-Bay. The starting bid was $200,000, but the final selling price was not disclosed.

Eventually, the plane passed into the hands of Catherine Scott of Toronto (reportedly in lieu of an outstanding bill owed to her). She sold it earlier this year to the Museum of Flight. The Super Constellation was dismantled when it left Toronto for the trip to Griffiss. However, its cockpit panel remains intact.
Kucherepa said, "It looks like a lumberjack took it apart."
Larry Dwyer, who runs a website on aviation history, The Aviation History Online Museum is a Connie fan and a former TWA airline mechanic who regrets that he never personally got to work on one of these planes. However, he drew on the recollections of some veteran mechanics when he wrote his history of Connie.
Generals Dwight Eisenhower and Douglas MacArthur used "Connies" for their personal use and Eisenhower chose the Constellation for his presidential plane. The Army Air Force purchased 22 Constellations during World War II as model C-69 transports.
The "stretch" was accomplished by splicing an extra 9-foot-2 inch section into the body just in front, and another just aft of the wing. The 1049 also had more powerful turbo compound R-3350 engines and carried 6,550 gallons of fuel with an optional wing center tank capable of carrying an additional 730 gallons. Lockheed built a total of 856 Constellations (331 for the military). The Connie's piston-fired engines suffered a number of early accidents and Lockheed was forced to alter its design. As the first post-war plane capable of transcontinental service and having an air pressurized cabin, however, it proved to be a popular commercial airliner. The Connie was eventually replaced by the jet engine, in particular the Boeing 707.
The Air Force Museum in Dayton, OH, has two preserved Connies, including the Presidential Constellation. The "Save a Connie" group was said to have one of the only operating Constellations and one of the only L-1049G Super Constellations left.
April l7, 1944: Howard Hughes (pilot) and TWA president Jack Frye flew the L-049 from Burbank, CA. to Washington DC, in 6 hours and 57 minutes. On the return trip, the aircraft stopped at Wright Field to give Orville Wright his last plane flight, more than 40 years after his historic first flight. He commented that the wingspan on the Constellation was longer than the distance of his first flight.

Q: Moq file version & assembly version mismatch, causing problems in TeamCity? Setting up TeamCity 5.0.1 to run unit tests for the first time, we're seeing this error:

Test(s) failed. System.IO.FileNotFoundException : Could not load file or assembly 'Moq, Version=3.1.416.3, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=69f491c39445e920' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

We're using version 3.1.416.3 of Moq, the dll of which has a file version of 3.1.0.0
The reference in our project file looks like this:

<Reference Include="Moq, Version=3.1.416.3, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=69f491c39445e920, processorArchitecture=MSIL">
  <SpecificVersion>False</SpecificVersion>
  <HintPath>..\..\..\lib\binaries\thirdparty\Moq.dll</HintPath>
</Reference>

We're able to run our unit tests in Visual Studion with ReSharper, and also from the nunit GUI (both on our developer machines and the build server in question).
What's going on here?

A: This can be caused by NuGet dependencies. If you do a Rebuild All of your project you may see an innocuous warning when your unit test project is compiled, like this:
Consider app.config remapping of assembly "Moq, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=69f491c39445e920" from Version "4.0.10827.0" [] to Version "4.1.1309.1617" [C:\XXX\packages\Moq.4.1.1309.1617\lib\net40\Moq.dll] to solve conflict and get rid of warning.

This warning may not stop the unit tests running on your local machine, but they may well stop TeamCity from running them.
You can get rid of the warning and make TeamCity run your unit tests by adding something like this to the App.config file for your Unit Test assembly;
<runtime>
  <assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
    <dependentAssembly>
      <assemblyIdentity name="Moq" publicKeyToken="69f491c39445e920" culture="neutral" />
      <bindingRedirect oldVersion="4.0.10827.0" newVersion="4.1.1309.1617" />
    </dependentAssembly>
  </assemblyBinding>
</runtime>

...of course using the appropriate version numbers that you are getting errors about and the actual installed version.

A: Not a 100% answer, but a workaround:
You can remove the explicit version-number in the build-file. Since it's anyway provided by your project and only used for the tests. Just change the 'Moq, Version=3.1.416.3, ...' part to 'Moq'. Then the version of the hint-path is used.

Ubi Franklin opens up about Struggles & Pains on #WithChude
This episode of #WithChude featured entertainment executive, entrepreneur, and founder of the record label, Made Men Music Group, Ubi Franklin.
On the show, Ubi talked about the struggles and pains he endured while dealing with a crumbling business partnership, a marriage at the brink of collapse, and the birth of his son, all at the same time.
Speaking about his failed business partnership with singer and former business partner, Iyanya, he said:
Partnership has to do with understanding, and when it gets to a point where there is no more understanding, greed sets in, 'I'm a big man' falls in, I can no longer listen to my partner, then you'll realise that something is broken. Being in that situation taught me a lesson that there are people that are meant to pass by. With Iyanya, we were going through the same trip, I was on my journey, he was on his journey, we had somewhere we had to stop to relax, we stopped there, did our music business, built our brands, and it was time for us to move on to the next thing. He's not doing badly, I am not doing badly.

With the race shifting its attention to the toughest climbs to come in the Pyrenees and Alps, Pinot is not only lighting up TV screens but also is most definitely in the picture among top pretenders for overall victory in Paris on July 28.
With no Tour winner for French fans to cheer for since Bernard Hinault in 1985, Pinot is third overall and heads into the Tour's second week looking like France's most credible contender in years.
Unlike Julian Alaphilippe, the punchy, exciting yellow-jersey wearer from France who wowed in week one but who is dreading the high-altitude ascents, Pinot is looking forward to them.
"That's where I get the most pleasure," he said Sunday before the start of Stage 9, a hilly trek through the Massif Central mountains won by South African Daryl Impey, while Pinot and all the other top racers took it easy behind, saving their strength.
Pinot excelled with the Groupama-FDJ squad in the Stage 2 team time trial, losing just 12 seconds to defending champion Geraint Thomas and his teammates at Ineos. That performance raised French hopes that Pinot might also be able to also limit damage in the individual time trial, upcoming on Stage 13 and where former track specialist Thomas should excel.
"Thomas will take back time," Pinot said.
But it is anyone's guess as to which of them will get the upper hand on the climbs. On Stage 6, the first mountain stage, Thomas couldn't seriously distance Pinot, who rode in just two seconds behind him.
On Stage 8, it was Pinot who gained time, surging ahead with Alaphilippe and frustrating Thomas, who crashed and couldn't catch back up with them.
The gap between them didn't change on Sunday's Stage 9. Top contenders took a breather, allowing Impey and 14 other riders who aren't threats for the overall title to build up the biggest lead of any breakaway this year, as they raced off far ahead for the stage win. Thomas is still fifth overall, 72 seconds behind Alaphilippe and 19 seconds behind Pinot.
Most striking about Pinot is his seeming serenity. Since a podium finish in 2014, he has sometimes looked as lost as a deer in headlights under the pressure of French hopes. This year, he trained at altitude in February and is enjoying having Alaphilippe around to soak up French attention as the race leader.
"If someone had told me that I'd be third overall after the first week, I would have signed up straight away. I wouldn't have believed it," Pinot said.
Alaphilippe knows his days in yellow are numbered. Not a climber like Pinot, he's expecting to suffer on the Tourmalet climb to be scaled on Stage 14 in the Pyrenees.
It "is going to be terrible for everyone," he said. "The rankings will change a lot."
Understandable, then, that Thomas, Pinot and others eyeing the podium in Paris opted for a go-slow on Sunday's 170.5 kilometers (106 miles) of undulating hills peppered with three just climbs of note between the former coal mining center of Saint-Etienne and the agricultural town of Brioude.
Such days are tailored for other riders not chasing the overall title to shine.
Impey was that man. He beat Belgian rider Tiesj Benoot in a two-man sprint at the finish to become only the second South African stage winner at the Tour — Robert Hunter also won a stage in 2007.
"Magical," Impey said. "A beautiful day."

Art Collective Floating Museum named as Artistic Directors of Chicago Architecture Biennial 2023
United States Architecture News - Sep 19, 2022 - 12:30 914 views
Chicago-based Art Collective Floating Museum has been named as Artistic Directors of the 2023 Chicago Architecture Biennial, which will celebrate its fifth edition in September 2023.
The Chicago Architecture Biennial (CAB), North America's leading architecture and design exhibition, will held its upcoming event unde the theme of "This is a Rehearsal" in which the theme will explore cities as sites of perpetual transformation.
Floating Museum is co-directed by Jeremiah Hulsebos-Spofford, Faheem Majeed, Andrew Schachman, and avery r. young.
The group is a collective of artists, designers, poets, and educators focused on building connections between art, community, architecture, and public institutions.
Under the artistic vision of Floating Museum, the aim of the Biennial is to "continue to push its exhibition and program model and to prioritize presenting innovative ideas that imagine and shape the future of architecture and design."

The theme of This is a Rehearsal intends to open the boundaries across geographies and scales and aims to "explore how contemporary environmental, political, and economic issues are shared across national boundaries but are addressed differently around the world through art, architecture, infrastructure, and civic participation."
With the theme of This is a Rehearsal, Floating Museum will elevate site-responsive art works, design projects and public programs to explore divergent interpretations of infrastructure, history, and the role of aesthetics as a mode for expanding how we frame the relationship between our environments and ourselves.
"Floating Museum is organized to work at the intersection of disciplines, where civic participation inspires and shapes our process. It's both a thrill and challenge to collaborate with the CAB as the artistic team of the 2023 edition," said the Floating Museum.
"We view this as a tremendous chance to coordinate exchanges between Chicago networks and practitioners around the world. We see this as a platform where work happening in Chicago can inform work happening elsewhere, and reciprocally, where work happening around the world can inspire work happening here," the Floating Museum added.

Since its founding in 2015, CAB has supported projects and commissions created by more than 400 architects, designers, and artists from over 40 countries. CAB acts as a platform designed to highlight and explore innovation in the field, CAB is poised to present a global event that responds to changes in the way we gather, engage, and learn.
"Developing the supportive infrastructure of our city—both in terms of the physical infrastructure and public programs—are a top priority for my administration and presents unique opportunities to uplift our historically underserved communities," said Chicago Mayor Lori E. Lightfoot.
"Under the direction of the artistic team, which has already undertaken ambitious projects to creatively support and promote our city, the 2023 Chicago Architecture Biennial will bring innovative ideas and projects to life, as well as spark important dialogue here in Chicago," Lori E. Lightfoot added.

Like in previous Biennials, CAB 5 will expand its collaborations with a broad spectrum of local and global partners, including Chicago's Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events (DCASE), who will once again serve as the Biennial's official Presenting Partner to host programs at the Chicago Cultural Center and across the city.
CAB 5 launch The Chicago Design Summit
Starting November 2022, CAB 5 will launch a new event: The Chicago Design Summit. The event is supported by the National Endowment for the Arts and the Graham Foundation, the Summit will bring together global practitioners from diverse fields to explore emerging ideas in contemporary architecture and design.
The Summit is aimed to serve as a forum for research and the development of the CAB 5 program.
"This opportunity is a catalyst for collaboration and partnership, and it offers a platform for participants to share and respond to ideas related to This is a Rehearsal," stated in a press statement by CAB.
"Rooted in Chicago, with a vision that transcends borders, the Floating Museum the collective is the ideal artistic team to lead the 2023 Biennial," stated Jack Guthman, Chairman of the Board of CAB.
"Their always imaginative response to issues of the moment promises an exhibition which will engage CAB's many audiences: the profession, visitors to our city from near and far, and Chicagoans of all ages," Guthman added.

CAB will announce a schedule of in-person and virtual programs, including youth workshops, conversations, and community event throughout the coming year on CAB's website.
Over the coming months, CAB will continue to announce collaborations and initiatives developed by local and global architects, artists, and designers.
The artistic vision of the 2021 Chicago Architecture Biennial was curated by designer, researcher, and educator David Brown under the theme of The Available City.
The Chicago Architecture Biennial is a non-profit organization dedicated to creating an international forum on architecture and urbanism by producing year-round programs and a biennial exposition of city-wide activations for a diverse audience of designers, educators, advocates, students, and local communities.
