Lampard: Biggest Challenge Of My Career (Sky Sports)
Frank Lampard says his new role as Chelsea head coach will be the biggest challenge of his career.
The 41-year-old was appointed on Thursday after impressing in his first year in management by leading Derby to the Sky Bet Championship play-off final last season.
Lampard is Chelsea's record goalscorer, having played for the Blues for 13 years, and represented England 106 times, but asked if his new role in the Stamford Bridge dugout would be the greatest challenge of his career, he said: "Yes.
"My playing career is done - great memories and challenges along the way. I always loved a challenge. Coming here 19 years ago was a challenge.
"I remember driving home with the radio on and some people were questioning whether I should be here for £11m. I worked really hard to try and put that right and now I'm going to work really hard to be successful as a manager here.
"When I started out in management I thought last year was a challenge. I don't want credit for my playing career; I should be judged on what I do here."
Lampard also admitted that he understood people would question whether he has enough experience to manage a club of Chelsea's size and that it was up to him to prove any doubters wrong.
"I thought about it a lot," he added. "One year in professional management and you get the Chelsea job - that doesn't come around very often.
"I played under a lot of fantastic managers, so that stands me in good stead. I've had one year at Derby where I learnt a lot and I know about this club; I know how it works.
"But I have to prove that. I'm ready for that. I believe in myself completely and I want to prove I'm ready to manage this club."
Lampard takes charge of Chelsea at a challenging time for the club, with star player Eden Hazard having been sold to Real Madrid and a two-window registration ban imposed by FIFA preventing them signing new players.
However, Lampard insists there is no reason the Blues cannot repeat last season's achievement of finishing in the Premier League top four, saying: "There's a lot of competition at the top of the league, but we have a very strong squad.
"I don't want to talk down this squad because there's huge talent there. It's a team that managed to come third last year and win the Europa League. We haven't been decimated.
"I know what is expected and I understand that's where we should be."
Chelsea's inability to add new players to their squad this summer may force them to rely more heavily on some of the young players who have been in their academy or on loan at other clubs.
However, that is something Lampard says he is willing to embrace, adding: "We have a very strong squad and great young players that have the talent to be huge players for this club. Part of my job will be to get that out of them.
"The academy have been doing great work for years, so it would be remiss for me to come in and say I'm not going to look at that."
Lampard will be assisted at Chelsea by Jody Morris, the former Chelsea midfielder and youth coach who worked with him at Derby. Gianfranco Zola, who was number two to Lampard's predecessor Maurizio Sarri, has left the club.

Diesel Era Icon: Charlie Chaplin
"We all want to help one another. Human beings are like that. We want to live by each other's happiness, not by each other's misery." ~ Charlie Chaplin
Nearly everyone recognizes the small mustache, bowler hat, cane and oversize shoes of the little tramp of Charlie Chaplin.
Born Charles Spencer Chaplin on April 16th, 1869, the little tramp had acting in his blood. His father was actor and vocalist while his mother had a successful career in acting. Early in life disaster struck as his father died when Charlie was just ten years old and then his mother became seriously ill. In an age before social safety nets, this forced Charlie and his brother to fend for themselves. With their inherited talents, the brothers took to acting to try to survive. Charlie's genius was first recognized for his tap dancing with the troop The Eight Lancashire Lads.
At fourteen, Charlie's first real acting was as a pageboy in a stage production of Sherlock Holmes. He eventually got into vaudeville, which brought him to America in 1910. American audiences loved Charlie on stage. In 1912, this success brought him his first offer of a movie contract though he didn't sign one until November 1913 when he finally made his first movie with the Keystone Film Company. Just like his stage work, Chaplin's acting on film quickly captured the heart of the American audience.
By 1914, Chaplin's popularity had grown considerably and he signed on with the Mutual Film Corporation in which he made numerous movies. When his contract with Mutual Film ended in 1917, he decided to start making movies independent of any studio. Later the next year, he joined with First National Exhibitors' Circuit to promote his own movies as well working to support the Liberty Loan drive of World War I by producing the movie The Bond.
In response to the iron handed control of the movie studios, Chaplin joined with Mary Pickford, Douglas Fairbanks and D.W. Griffith in April of 1919 to found the United Artists Corporation. UA was organized to give the artists, writers, and directors greater control over their productions.
1925 Chaplin suddenly found himself caught up in scandal. He had cast Lillita MacMurray, whom he had employed as a pretty 12-year-old in "The Kid" and who now was 16 and going by Lita Grey, to be his leading lady in his new film, The Gold Rush. In a short time, Chaplin and Grey embarked in a clandestine love affair. Early into the filming, Grey became pregnant, followed by marriage to Chaplin. Though they had two sons, their marriage was a miserable relationship for both.
It wasn't long before their marriage began to fall apart. By 1928 Chaplin was in the midst of a new scandal due to a messy and public divorce with Grey. In spite of the divorce scandal, the next year Chaplin won his first Academy Award for The Circus.
Politically Chaplin was highly progressive. As he saw the effects of both the Great Depression and automation, he conceived of what would become one of his greatest movies, Modern Times. Made in 1936, Modern Times uses humor to portray the alienation and pain created by Modernity.
In 1940, Chaplin turned his attention to the evils of fascism with the making of The Great Dictator. His speech near the end of the film is recognized by critics as being one of the greatest in motion picture history.
As a victim of McCarthyism, when Chaplin was outside the US in 1952 on a visit to England J Edgar Hoover succeeded at blocking his return into the States. In response, Chaplin decided not to fight the block but to stay in exile from his adopted home and settled in Vevey, Switzerland. In 1972, he briefly returned in acclaim to the United States to receive an Honorary Oscar.
Charlie Chaplin died in his sleep on Christmas Day, 1977 in Switzerland.
Chaplin's legacy continues today. Not only are his films still highly popular, in 1991 his movie City Lights was entered in the National Film Registry, but the songs that he wrote continue to live on in popular media as well. For example, Nat King Cole recorded his song Smile in 1954. Most recently, Smile was also performed on the highly popular television show Glee.

White Cop on Horse Admits Leading Black Man into Town by Rope will "Look so Bad"
By Nardos Araya
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ts37M4ZWVeM
Body-cam footage showing two white Texas cops on horseback leading a handcuffed homeless black man on foot into town by rope after they had arrested him for criminal trespass was released Wednesday.
"This is going to look really bad," one of the cops is heard admitting.
Galveston police officers Amanda Smith and Patrick Brosch arrested Donald Neely, 43, in early August for what appears to be him sleeping on a bench in front of a building where he'd been arrested for trespassing before.
"Why do you keep coming back here, Mr. Neely," Brosch is heard asking. "They don't want you here," Smith follows up.
After Brosch gathers Neely's few belongings, his shoes and welder's hood, Smith clips a rope to Neely's handcuffs and they begin their nearly 10 minute journey through the city to the officers truck and horse trailer. From there, it was another 10 minute wait until a third officer arrived to put Neely in a patrol car.
From Smith and Brosch explaining to Neely what he did wrong to Brosch placing Neely's welding hood back on him at his request to leading the mentally ill man to the parking lot, the entire interaction was calm. But it was the optics that sparked outraged.
"You wanna make him walk all the way back," Brosch asked Smith, which she nodded to. "It's gonna look really bad," he continues.
Protesters demanded the body-cam footage be released, but the city of Galveston wanted to wait until an external investigation was completed. The report hasn't been made public yet, but the Texas Rangers did determine the cops didn't break any laws.
In Texas, cops patrolling on horses is a common sight to see. The southern state keeps it's western culture alive in that way, but the visual also resembled less fond historic memories – the Jim Crow era, which is why so many people had an issue with the way Neely was detained.
"It's gonna look so bad," Brosch reiterates as he hands Neely his green shirt before they start walking. "I'm not embarrassed either," Neely says to which Brosch replies he's "glad."
Still, the Galveston Police Chief, Vernon Hale, apologized for the "unnecessary embarrassment" during the detainment and announced the department would no longer use the technique – one that had been previously used to control large crowds.
While Hale said the two cops showed "poor judgement," he claimed their actions didn't stem from malicious intentions. The president of Houston's NAACP chapter, on the other hand, said the cops were being downright disrespectful.
"This is 2019 and not 1819," James Douglas wrote the newspaper in an email. "I am happy to know that Chief Vernon issued an apology and indicated that the act showed poor judgment, but…he failed to address the lack of respect demonstrated by the officers in the episode."
The president of the Galveston Coalition for Justice, Leon Phillips, said the depiction reminded him of racist images from the 1920s.
"All I know is that these are two white police officers on horseback with a black man walking him down the street with a rope tied to the handcuffs, and that doesn't make sense, period," he said. "And I do understand this — if it was a white man, I guarantee it wouldn't have happened."
Neely is free, having been released on bond, but Hale has said he would use the sheriff's office report to decide whether further action should be taken against the cops.
The edited video is above and the unedited full video is below.

iShoot, iEdit: The Wall Live On Tour 2010
iShoot, iEdit is a fan-made Live DVD documenting Roger Waters' 2010 Wall Live tour produced by Harvested Records, a reputable and well-known organization for fan-produced live released for the band Pink Floyd.
I was contacted by HRV, knowing several members through an online Pink Floyd community. They came to me with an idea that they wanted to mimic the visuals from part of the show, during the song "Run Like Hell." In it, the projections feature heavily contrasted and red images over a gritty wall with words such as "iPaint", "iFollow", "iLose" – an ongoing motif throughout the show. The project was to be called iShoot, iEdit, calling to the nature of the DVD which was shot, edited, mastered, and designed by fans, for fans.
Recreating the show's imagery accurately require many parts, including:
Creating the background wall texture using ~10 layers of effects and textures
Cutting out and colorizing the static imagery
Hand-designed both the white earphones and the iconic hammer logo
Identifying, locating, and utilizing the exact stencil font used
In addition to the cover design, I also created an ad image used on various online communities to advertise the upcoming release, the DVD art design, and the menus.
The project has, to date, been individually downloaded over 10,000 times, through various websites and other means. Being a fan-made release, it was designed to be shared freely amongst fans, so the actual count of downloads and number of people who own a copy is impossible to accurately know.

The best ways to celebrate 4th of July in the USA
By Samantha Stewart|7:19am Jul 03, 2018

The Fourth of July is America's biggest national holiday.
It's a day that commemorates the United States separating itself from the British Empire, and embracing all things 'Murican.
Pie-eating contests, fireworks, live performances and good wholesome patriotic fun; here's a roundup of how to celebrate no matter where you are.

Happen to be in Denver this Wednesday? You're in for a treat. Every Fourth of July Weekend, the Cherry Creek North neighbourhood hosts the Cherry Creek Arts Festival; a world-class and award-winning display of visual, culinary and performing arts. More than five blocks of the area is occupied by local artisans, vendors and activities for the whole family to enjoy.
The city of Boston knows how to celebrate the Fourth of July. The Boston Pops Orchestra kicks off the celebrations with a famous rendition of Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture. What follows are the release of real cannons, church bells, fireworks and a day full of red, white and blue fun.
Bristol, Rhode Island
The historic town of Bristol in Rhode Island is known for hosting America's oldest Independence Day celebrations. This town has a classic American main street feel with beautiful stately homes patriotically decorated for the occasion. There's a parade, a Fourth of July Ball, a Drum Corp show and fireworks overlooking Bristol Harbour.
Foodies, this one's for you. The celebrations in Lexington kick off with the Great American Pie contest, which is soon followed by the Ice Cream Social at the Fifth Third Bank Pavilion in Cheapside Park. To work off all the sweet treats, locals are then invited to participate in a 10km run, check out the street festivities and enjoy the fireworks at night.
Seattle was voted one of the nation's best firework displays by USA Today, so it's not one to be missed. A true testament to American culture, the town hosts a pie-eating contest, sack rides, food vendors, beer gardens and a night full of live entertainment.
Mount Rushmore, South Dakota
Considering it's one of the country's most patriotic regions, the celebrations at Mount Rushmore take place over two whole days. Over those days, locals can enjoy brass bands, military aircraft flyovers, presentations from American Indian Groups, live performances and an impressive set of fireworks.
If you're celebrating the nation's birthday in the Big Apple, you can enjoy the ever-popular Macy's fireworks display. If you're keen to do something a little more relaxed, head to a park or one of the city's many rooftop bars for a night set against the city's skyline.
Las Vegas knows how to party, but it takes it up another notch on the Fourth of July. One of the best places to view the city's fireworks display is from the Plaza Hotel and Casino. Grab a cocktail, head to the rooftop pool and watch the American pride erupt all over Sin City.

Lights on the lake and fireworks in the sky, the impressive celebrations at Lake Tahoe are recognised as one of the top five Fourth of July fireworks displays in the nation. One of the best ways to enjoy the occasion is reserving a seat on the Tahoe Cruises, a luxury 80-foot motor yacht with on board catered dinner and drinks.

Would Projected Windows Make a Cramped Micro Apartment More Comfortable?
Is virtual reality the solution to housing densification?
Colin Schultz
In the next thirty or so years demographers are expecting that we'll be packing more than 2 billion additional people onto this planet. Those people will need to live somewhere, and over at Fast Company we're introduced to Barnardo Schorr, a designer with a dishearteningly dystopian vision of how we might make our increasingly cramped lives more palatable. As seen in the video above, Schorr's plan is to project windows and scenery on the walls, in order to make a cramped, windowless box feel a little more free.
Talking to FastCo, Schorr says:
"It's made for a future in which having any windows at all would be a luxury," Schorr says. "We might not really need these 'mixed reality' living spaces quite yet, but the project is made for a future in which we'll need them to be able to cope with confinement and survive these smaller apartments."
For decades the size of American homes has soared. Since 1950, it has more than doubled, from 983 square feet to 2,300 square feet at the turn of the century. But now, in high-density cities the world over—including American metropolises like San Francisco and New York—tiny little micro apartments are becoming more abundannt. One of these little apartments, detailed by the New York Times last year, was just 78 square feet.
Schorr's design is not necessarily a path he wants us to follow, says Fast Company: "Though he designed the virtual apartment as a solution, it's also meant to make people think about the future of living spaces, and whether "apodments" and parking space sized micro units are really such a good thing."
Using virtual reality and projected images to make people feel more comfortable about their confinement isn't a wholly new idea, though: another designer, Austin Stewart, recently unveiled a similar plan to make factory farming more comfortable for chickens.

'I don't know the reason why…' – Bautista baffled by slump in fortunes
Oliver Barstow
Alvaro Bautista's fourth crash in just eight races leaves the ex-MotoGP scrambling for answers as to why he his form and consistency has plummeted.
Alvaro Bautista is at a loss to explain why he crashed out of the first World Superbike Championship race at Laguna Seca as he counts the cost of his fourth accident in eight races.
The ex-MotoGP rider slipped off at turn five on lap four whilst dicing for the lead with Chaz Davies and Jonathan Rea, the front-folding beneath him into a low-side much to his evident disbelief.
Indeed, the incident is the latest chapter in a remarkable slump in fortunes for the Spaniard, who appeared to be marching towards the WorldSBK title as recently as three rounds ago having reeled off 13 victories in 15 races, including 11 in-a-row on the Ducati Panigale V4 R.
However, the metronomic consistency that defined his incredible start to life in WorldSBK is exactly what has been missing from Bautista's armoury in recent races after a crash at Jerez was followed by an identical one at Misano.
A third fall in the wet at Donington Park lost him the series lead and now his Laguna Seca raises yet more questions as to reasons why the Spaniard is now getting loose on the bike.
Indeed, the man himself says he cannot understand why this crash happened, saying he felt comfortable beforehand.
"Unfortunately, we've been hit by bad luck in the last few races. Today I crashed without really knowing the reason why, in addition at that moment I wasn't even pushing to the limit.
"After a good start I was fighting with Chaz and Jonathan but I suddenly lost the front at Turn 5 and crashed out. I feel pretty bad about it because I think I could have had a chance of a win. This is racing, we must now look ahead, not give in and continue to work hard."
From a 61 point advantage ahead of race two in Jerez last month, Bautista has dropped 49 points behind Rea in just eight races – a total swing of 110 points.

Micro sensors offer the potential solution to cost, size, and weight issues associated with smart networked sensor systems designed for environmental/missile health monitoring and rocket out-gassing/fuel leak detection, as well as situational awareness on the battlefield. In collaboration with the University of Arkansas (Fayetteville), University of Alabama (Tuscaloosa and Birmingham), Alabama A&M University (Normal), and Streamline Automation (Huntsville, AL), scientists and engineers at the Army Aviation & Missile Research, Development, and Engineering Center (AMRDEC) are investigating several nano-based technologies to solve the problem of sensing extremely small levels of toxic gases associated with both chemical warfare agents (in air and liquids) and potential rocket motor leaks. Innovative techniques are being devised to adapt voltammetry, which is a well established technique for the detection and quantification of substances dissolved in liquids, to low-cost micro sensors for detecting airborne chemical agents and potential missile propellant leakages. In addition, a surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) technique, which enhances Raman scattered light by excitation of surface plasmons on nanoporous metal surfaces (nanospheres), is being investigated to develop novel smart sensors for the detection of chemical agents (including rocket motor out-gassing) and potential detection of home-made explosive devices. In this paper, results are delineated that are associated with experimental studies, which are conducted for the aforementioned cases and for several other nano-based technology approaches. The design challenges of each micro sensor technology approach are discussed. Finally, a comparative analysis of the various innovative micro-sensor techniques is provided.

KOREA /
S.Korea and N.Korea fulfills only one of their 13 pledges in their joint declaration
Camille Blinds, March 19, 2019, 9:34 a.m.
Six months since the leaders of North and South Korea singed a joint declaration in Pyongyang, they have only lived up to one of 13 pledges they agreed on.
The two Koreas were only able to hold a ground-breaking ceremony for reconnecting severed cross-border railways, but actual work cannot begin while sanctions against the renegade country remain in place.
The other pledges remain unfulfilled. There has been no re-establishing of a joint military committee, no conditional reopening of the Kaesong Industrial Park or resumption of tours to North Korea's scenic Mt. Kumgang resort, no reunion center in Mt. Kumgang for families separated by the Korean War, no video-conferencing reunions for separated families, no North Korean musicians performing in South Korea, no permanent closure of the North's missile facility in Tongchang-ri and no visit to Seoul by North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.
In fact North Korea appears to be resuming operations at the missile facility. Nam Sung-wook at Korea University said, "The agreement itself was based on the condition of North Korean denuclearization and was basically a political gimmick. Denuclearization should have gained pace, and some clear conditions should have been attached. But without them it's all wishful thinking."
North and South Korean officials also held several meetings to help the North reforest its barren mountains and bolster medical cooperation but made no progress.
Since North Korean leader Kin Jong-un's summit with U.S. President Donald Trump in Hanoi collapsed, Pyongyang seems to have lost all interest in those projects.
However, implementation of a cross-border military agreement, which North Korea wanted included in the declaration, has progressed at breakneck speed. The two Koreas lost no time establishing no-fly zones over the border, removing guard posts from the demilitarized zone, disarming troops guarding the Joint Security Area in Panmunjom and establishing a peace zone along the Northern Limit Line, the de facto maritime border.
Instead North Korea continues to accuse South Korea of failing to abide by its pledges. According to Liberty Korea Party lawmaker Baek Seung-joo, the North Korean regime criticized South Korea 122 times in the last six months, accusing the South of violating the military pact.
North Korean state media criticized South Korea 1,471 times during that period.
Despite the agreement, North Korea continues to station artillery along the West Sea and protest against the NLL.
Kim Do-gyun at the Defense Ministry said, "We spotted North Korean violations of the agreement involving the NLL and issued more than a dozen warnings to the North."
Free access to the JSA has seen zero progress due to a lack of initiative by North Korea. The North apparently insists that UN forces must leave before it can be allowed.

Is 8K TV better than 4k TV? What you need to know
By Arthur Kakande
4K resolution is pretty much the standard for televisions now but there's a new resolution that is starting to flood the market. If you haven't upgraded to 4K or just did, the news of the 8K might not come lightly to you.
So, what is 8K anyway?
8K is a higher resolution standard than 4K, quadrupling the total number of pixels just like 4K did with 1080p.
8K is 7,680 by 4,320 resolution or approximately 8,000 horizontal pixels. 4K, by contrast, is around 4,000 horizontal pixels at 3,840 by 2,160, and 1080p is around 2,000 horizontal pixels at 1,920 by 1,080.
Just as there are twice as many horizontal pixels for each resolution, there are also twice as many vertical pixels.
This means each step quadruples the number of pixels, and that 8K has 16 times the number of pixels as 1080p.
Where are 8K tv and how are they priced?
8K TVs aren't currently shipped worldwide and but this will change in a few years. 8K is coming, but it won't be feasible for consumers for a while.
Samsung unveiled the Q900FN TV at IFA earlier this year, and it looks like the first consumer-available 8K TV to be released by a major manufacturer.
Samsung plans to release the Q900FN in the United States in late October. Manufacturers haven't announced pricing or availability information for the TV.
Is an 8K TV better than 4K TV?
8K TV is bound to be superior to 4K TV. But to a consumer, the differences could be hard to nail down since other factors such as screen size and distance come in.
The difference might not be noticeable if viewed from a close distance and viewed on a TV smaller than 40 inches.
Just as it's hard to differentiate between 1080p and 4K on smaller screens.
Is current content upscale able to my new 8K TV?
For those looking to purchase 8K TV's in the next one or two years, there's currently no consumer 8K video content available.
Since there's isn't any broadcast or otherwise live streaming 4K content right now as yet, 8K is still a long shot.
And in order to enjoy 8K resolution, one will need new cables and new devices that can handle the resolution.
Must read: What you need to know about eSIM
The new HDMI 2.1 standard supports an 8K resolution at up to 60 frames per second, and it requires almost triple the bandwidth of 4K-capable HDMI 2.0.
That means your current Blu-ray players, media streamers, and game systems will top out at 4K. You'll need new HDMI 2.1-equipped devices that can process 8K video and output it to an 8K TV.
So, Is 8K worth it?
There seems to be no direct answer to this. While consumers are still currently processing the idea of 4K TV, 8K might not be a priority for the environment.
Demand for 8K resolution content is what will help drive 8K TV supply. But at the moment, no pricing details for 8K are available and information on the resolution is still thin.
Devices that can process 8K content such as HDMI cables and the rest have still not yet been manufactured. Since 8K is an improvement on the 4K, it's still too early to tell.
The answer to this question will come in a few years or so.

Not long after the massacre began at Santa Fe High School in Texas, someone posted on social media "GUN REFORM NOW"! Immediately out of the gate, a comment was made, "IT HAPPENED IN A GUN FREE ZONE"! Their next comment was "CRIMINALS DON'T OBEY LAWS"! All three comments were in all caps. I'm assuming that helped those folks make their respective points and changed hearts and minds and opinions, perhaps? I don't know…asking for a friend. Well, not really, but thought I'd ask anyway.
I'll address "criminals don't obey laws" in my next blog post. For this post, gun free zones are the target. Kind of a play on words, right? Not so funny? It wasn't meant to be. It's sad, really, that they're looked at in that way.
Maybe we should be looking at eliminating gun free zones.
Think about it. There's been a hue and a cry to do so for a long time now.
We have a state legislator here in my home state pushing legislation to eliminate those blood soaked gun free zones….three times now, all of them unsuccessful. He's a Columbine survivor to boot. So that makes him uniquely qualified to address this issue, right?
It gets even better. The National Rifle Association once advocated for gun free zones….in schools!
Wait….what? That's a typo, right?
Nope. No typo. The NRA did so after the massacre at "Columbine".
It didn't take the NRA very long to morph their position into "the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun" mantra, however.
Since "Columbine", the NRA has consistently advocated for more guns in schools. More guns in schools would, by design, require that gun free zones be eliminated. It would also put more money in the back pocket of the NRA and gun manufacturers.
Gun free zones could be eliminated in one fell swoop simply by repealing a certain law that established gun free zones in the first place.
Wait….what? There's an actual law on the books regarding gun free zones?
Why, yes indeed there is…at least some gun free zones, but not all gun free zones. It's called the Gun Free School Zones Act. It's also the only codified gun free zones law I've been able to find….anywhere. If someone else has info to the contrary, please provide it. Do some states have gun free zone laws? Local jurisdictions? I'm stymied.
This act was originally enacted to try to address the increasing risks associated with kids bringing guns into a school environment….you know, sort of like the Drug Free School Zones Act that tried to address drugs in schools? That law is the model for the Gun Free School Zones Act.
The Gun Free School Zones Act is specific to schools though, and nothing else; not businesses, not churches, not anything else.
Heck, according to the law, a school isn't even required to be in compliance with that law. This is important because the actual requirement, if one wishes to call it that, is a matter of funding according to the U.S. Department of Education. If school districts don't want Federal funding, then they aren't required to be gun free zones. If they want to receive Federal funding, then the Department of Education requires them to declare themselves Gun Free Zones under that law.
Based on all of the above, I gotta ask is it really necessary to pass a law to eliminate gun free zones?
Would such a law be a legal ban? Serious question because I thought bans didn't work. At least that's what gundamentalists claim regarding banning assault style weaponry.
Should such a law originate at the Federal level? State level? Local level?
Would such a law apply only to schools?
What about public venues, churches, places of business, homes? Would such a law include them, as well?
There are currently 18 states, according to a 2013 NBC News Investigations piece (there are many more articles from reliable sources that say virtually the same thing), that already allow guns on school campuses.
I hear it all the time from pro-gun advocates that a gun free zone sign won't stop someone from committing mass murder; that they choose gun free zones because they view them as soft targets. Of course they won't physically stop anyone. Sheeesh! Inanimate objects are incapable of anything without human interaction of some sort. But choosing them because they're soft targets? The truth is that no definitive research has ever, not even once, proven this premise to have any validity whatsoever, especially in schools.

Triathlete dreams of making history for India
By Chelsea White on 30/10/15 at 8:00 am
Since its inaugural debut in Sydney in 2000, nearly 600 athletes, both men and women, from all over the world have competed in the four Olympic Games where triathlon has been a recognized sport. Taking it one step further, athletes representing seven different countries have also had the privilege to not only compete in said Olympic Games, but have been named the best in the world and have stood at the top of the Olympic podium wearing a gold medal.
But of those 600 athletes, none of them have come from India.
Pooja Chaurushi hopes to change that.
Chaurushi is a developing triathlete from India, who just recently moved to the United States to train with Coach Boris in Round Rock, Texas.
Starting out as a swimmer at the age of nine years old, she quickly started participating in aquathlons in order to increase her endurance level. Her skill at the run-swim-run format gave her opportunities, such as competing at the National Championship as well as the Triathlon Junior Squad Selection Camp in Chennai in 2004. It was at that camp that Chaurushi was introduced to triathlon.
However, the expenditure of the sport prohibited Chaurushi from continuing. It wasn't until 2006 when she won yet another aquathlon that the National Federation took notice and insisted she compete in triathlons. With a borrowed utility bike and an ounce of excitement, she went on to become a National Champion in the Olympic distance.
Chaurushi became a member of the ITU Development Team in 2009 and was involved in the ITU Development World Camp in Gold Coast, Australia. She then competed in the 2010 Asian Games that took place in Guangzhou, China.
But now, five years later, Chaurushi has set her sights on something bigger when it comes to her triathlon career. After taking a break from the sport to concentrate on her studies, she has spent the summer getting back into training with the hopes of one day becoming the first Indian triathlete to make it the Olympic Games.
"I want to represent India at the Olympics. Subsequently I would like to develop a strong team of triathletes in India and its neighbouring countries so that they can have good exposure of the sport in near vicinity," said Chaurushi.
In order to fulfill that dream, Chaurusi knew that she needed to train in a place where she would have the most opportunities available for her. India currently does not have a National coach, and Pooja found she was practicing a lot on her own, so she knew she needed to find someone who she could work with.
"Pooja contacted me via email stating she was looking for a coach and a team training environment. I responded with additional questions after researching her online and via the ITU website. We communicated via Skype so I had a much better idea of who she was and what she wanted to accomplish," said Coach Boris. "I consider myself a long term investor and have always focused on development; I saw a developing athlete that wanted to get better and reached out to me so I accepted. She didn't have the training access or equipment resources in India."
Boris G. Robinson has been coaching developing triathletes for over 26 years and is the current Team Director of T3Multisports Youth Triathlon Academy and Elite Junior Cycling.
Since working with Coach Boris, Chaurushi has been able to improve her skills in all three disciplines, but has seen the most benefits come from her improvements on the bike.
On their training strategy, Coach Boris said, "Our strategy is to focus on skills, technique and tactics. We work the basics, then apply them under stress. There are no secrets really; it comes down to having confidence in your training and execution on race day. Pooja's strengths are a willingness to learn, desire to improve and ability to grasp concepts quickly; she also has a solid swimming background. But the biggest areas of improvement are her handling skills and power on the bike, in addition; her off the bike running."
Training in the U.S. was a decision made by Chaurushi so that she could grow in the sport and benefit enough from the opportunities that the country has to offer. While triathlon continues to grow all over the world, India remains a nation that has a lot of potential talent, but a lack of coaching, knowledge and competitions hinder producing the right environment and tools to help athletes become the best that they can be.
However, athletes like Chaurushi, along with Anuradha "Anu" Vaidyanathan, who is a female Indian triathlete who competes at the Ironman level, or Madhurjya Borah, who wants to be the first male Indian Olympic athlete, are helping close the gap.
Chaurushi shared her thoughts on the growth of the sport in her home country, "Nowadays a lot of cyclists and runners are taking interest in participating in triathlon, but either they don't get the chance or they don't have enough knowledge about the sport or its competitions. I have personally experienced the scarcity of tournaments. I think that athlete/coaches development camps, if organised in India, can create more awareness about the sport."
But the greatest awareness of all, would be earning the honour of having millions of Indian people watch a young Indian woman make national history and step up to the triathlon starting line representing her people at the Olympic Games.
"To represent India at the Olympics would be a proud moment for me and my country. Very few female athletes from India have had such a chance, but some of them have gone on to reach to the podium. I also want to be one of them, I may become the first triathlete from India who may represent at the Olympics in sport of triathlon. This may also bring the revolution in India for triathlon and will increase the popularity of triathlon in India, more and more athlete will tend to participate in this sport."

Q: findOne() to return boolean value - Nodejs I am running into a problem in express js using mongoose.
I have a manager layer that communicates with model layer (using mongoose).
In the manager layer i have the CRUD functions that can be used by controllers.
In the manager layer i have a function "checkCredentials()" which will search the given username and password in MongoDB and return true or false to the controller.
The problem is that function "checkCredentials()" is returning undefined.
Following is the code , i will be really thankful if anyone can help.
function checkCredentials(uName,Pass){

    librarian.findOne({ UserName: uName , Password: Pass}, function (err, doc){
        console.log('uName: '+uName);
        console.log('Pass: '+Pass); // this will print on console , working fine

        if (doc === null) {
            return false; // this will return undefined to the controller

        } else {
            return true;  // this will return undefined to the controller
        }
}

A: You can't do that this way. findOne working asynchronous while the function need to return the value immediately.
so the "return" you wrote in the findOne it's not the one for the function checkCredentials
Edit:
If you want to do it right - you need to pass a callback function to the checkCredentials - then when the findOne completed, execute the callback with the parameters you need

A: function checkCredentials(uName,Pass, callback){

    librarian.findOne({ UserName: uName , Password: Pass}, function (err, doc){
        console.log('uName: '+uName);
        console.log('Pass: '+Pass); // this will print on console , working fine
        if(err)
               return callback(err, false);
        if (doc === null) {
            return callback(null, false); // this will return undefined to the controller

        } else {
            return callback(null, true);  // this will return undefined to the controller
        }
}

You can try this code.
