Below is a list of project ideas for Google Summer of Code. These projects may require familiarity with C, Makefiles, Lua or VimL ("Vim script").
Neovim is a text editor based on Vim. One of the project goals is to encourage hacking and collaboration. Effort is put into removing barriers for contributors and improving documentation. The wiki has sections on developing and contributing to help you get started.
The Neovim source has roots going back to 1987 which means libraries such as libuv were not around at that time. The codebase can be made easier to maintain and understand by using these libraries. Project ideas that involve working heavily with internals will in general be more difficult than project ideas that "simply" add new features. However working with older/complex parts of the code base can also provide valuable learning feedback for writing simpler and more maintainable code. There is a large range of skills that can be learned and working with the team to find a project that will help you the most is in your benefit.
Visit gitter.im/neovim or #neovim on IRC to discuss these projects with the community and our mentors. Because communication is a big part of open source development you are expected to get in touch with us before making your application.
It's also recommended to start with a smaller coding task, to get introduced to the Neovim project. Look on the issue tracker for simpler issues and submit a small PR attempting to solve the issue. See for instance the good first issue and complexity:low tags. The goal here is to get accustomed with the codebase and to our workflow for reviewing and testing PRs, rather than directly making a large code contribution.
The following list of projects are just some ideas. We are happy to hear any suggestions that you may have.
The application period for GSOC is March 25-April 9. Send your proposal through the official GSOC page. We encourage students to send a first draft early in this period, this allows us to give feedback and and ask for more information if need. See https://google.github.io/gsocguides/student/writing-a-proposal for some guidelines for writing a good proposal.
Note: this year we will likely be able to accept 2-3 students. We expect to get more strong proposals than available slots, so we will need to turn some good proposals down.
Anywhere a Vim concept (such as "textlock") is mentioned, you can find what it means by using the ":help" command from within neovim (:help textlock).
Ask questions and post your partial work frequently (say, once every day or 2, if possible). It's OK if work is messy; just put "[WIP]" in the pull request (PR) title.
Take advantage of the continuous integration (CI) systems which automatically run against your pull requests. When you send work to a PR, the full test-suite runs on the PR while you continue to work locally.
The wiki contains up-to-date documentation on building, debugging, and development tips.
Only a text editor, CMake, and a compiler are needed to develop Neovim. Ctags is very helpful also.
The contributing guidelines are intended to be helpful, not rigid.
p2p architecture for data sharing between multiple Nvim instances. Similar to Python's multiprocessing module, the idea is to to offload Nvim tasks (VimL and/or Lua) to child Nvim processes.
Nvim is both a server and a client. Nvim (client) can connect to any other Nvim (server). And Nvim GUIs can show the screen of a remote Nvim server.
But the built-in Nvim TUI cannot show the screen of a remote Nvim server. That's the goal of this project.
It is not "live share". It's just showing the remote UI in a client TUI.
Networking question are out of scope. It is assumed the client has an SSH tunnel or named pipe to connect to.
Any client can call any API function.
If a client calls nvim_ui_attach, then it is a "UI client". This simply means that Nvim will send UI events as msgpack-rpc notifications on the channel.
That's how every Nvim UI works. And that's how the TUI client (this project proposal) will work.
The simplest UI is the "fake UI" implemented in test/functional/ui/screen.lua from the Nvim test suite. It creates a text UI from real Nvim UI events. This allows us to write Lua tests that check the state of the UI, by simply writing the text UI in the test. In the Neoivm repo, "git grep 'screen:expect'" shows all of the places where this is used.
For example Screen:_handle_grid_line() consumes a line event, and updates some tables (self._grids and self._attr_table).
And those tables are literally the contents of the fake UI that Screen:expect() tests against.
Connect to any Nvim. Unlike tmux, Nvim UI client can connect to any other running Nvim, including GUIs.
Potential for using libnvim as the RPC core of any Nvim API client, to eliminate the need for clients to implement their own msgpack-RPC handling.
Implement a TUI "remote UI" client. Modify the TUI subsystem so that it can display a remote Nvim instance. The C codebase already has msgpack support, an event-loop, and the ability to connect to sockets/named pipes/etc.
will connect to the Nvim server at address foo. The nvim client instance sends input to the remote Nvim server, and reflects the UI of the remote Nvim server. So the nvim client acts like any other external (G)UI.
Familiarity with Lua C API is a plus.
Nvim is always built with a builtin Lua interpreter. A goal is to make Lua a first class language for plugins and user config, which can access editor functionality directly, without "shelling out" to VimL commands and functions.
More functionality is directly exposed to Lua. This project idea is a bit open ended, and improvements can be made in different directions. Regardless what priorities are decided, it is expected that the project will take form as multiple smaller deliverables that will be merged separately during the duration of the project.
The project can involve calls the core editor makes to VimL, such as autocommands, mappings and function-based options like 'omnifunc', where native Lua support could be added. Lua access to jobs and channels would also be worthwhile. Nvim is working on building a Lua standard library to make it convenient to write plugins and user config in Lua. This goal is broad, and discussion with the plugin developing community is encouraged, about what functionality would be most useful for the standard library.
Another direction is to add new extension points, such as letting Lua code control aspects of screen drawing. A starting point could be to let Lua code draw a richer completion popup menu for the TUI, by processing popup menu UI events internally.
Nvim GUI:s are implemented as processes communicating with Nvim.. Originally the UI protocol exposed most functionality as a single, terminal-like screen grid. Work has been done to allow UIs (including embeddings in GUI editors, like VSCode) to render the screen layout themselves, based on semantic updates from Nvim. Some screen elements like the cmdline, popupmenu and message area has been externalized. As a result of a 2018 GSOC project, windows can be drawn on separate grids.
Further improvements to the GUI protocol.
Some UIs want to render the buffer contents themselves. A solution would be a UI protocol mode, where the rendered grid is not used, rather all decorations, such as syntax highlighting, conceals, virtual text are transmitted for the current viewport. Such an UI would be able to render text without the restrictions of the builtin monospace grid. Then the UI should be able to inform nvim about usage of virtual columns and wrapping, so that vim commands such as gj are consistent with how text is presented to the user.
Another path is to improve the core Nvim grid model. We could allow the width and height of cells be different for each row. This would allow for heading text with different font size, and pictures rendered inside windows.
Putting forward your own ideas of UI improvements is encouraged. Read the docs for the implemented extensions as well as the tracking issue for ongoing/planned work, as a starting point.
Nvim has builtin live preview of :%s substitution, as a result of a successful collaboration with students. This support could be extended to more commands, such as :global and :normal.
More commands support interactive preview. This could be done by extending the hard-coded support for substitution preview to more commands. Alternatively, a more scalable approach could be to add core functionality that makes it easier to implement live preview as plugins in VimL and/or Lua. See #7370 for some ideas.
Description: Reload file/notify user when a file being edited changes outside of nvim.
Description: Implement "Vim mode" in an editor/IDE (such as IntelliJ) by embedding a nvim instance.
Full Nvim editing should be available in the editor/IDE, while also allowing the user to use the native editor/IDE features.
Please add your project ideas in the following format.

Racism: Thinly Disguised as Studying Nerds
We waited until we could blog together (in the short window before Laurie goes to Japan) to do this one.
According to this article in the New York Times, "Nerdiness … is largely a matter of racially tinged behavior. People who are considered nerds tend to act in ways that are, as [linguist Mary Bucholtz] puts it, 'hyperwhite.'"
"The nerds she has interviewed, mostly white kids, punctiliously adhere to Standard English. They often favor Greco-Latinate words over Germanic ones ("my observation"instead of "I think"), a preference that lends an air of scientific detachment. They]re aware they speak distinctively, and they use language as a badge of membership in their cliques."
We have plenty to say about this, but first, here's some of a letter that our friends in the Carl Brandon Society, as well as several other groups, wrote in response. This letter is from science fiction fans of color (and what could be more stereotypically nerdy than science fiction?). The Times chose to print a very different letter (from a white man):
In response to University of California linguist Mary Bucholtz]s assertion that nerdiness is a "hyperwhite" phenomenon, we must respectfully disagree.
Since the article notes that most of the nerds Bucholtz interviewed were white, we feel the need to balance out some glaring holes in her research: namely, that Nerds Of Color (or NOCs, as some of us call ourselves) do exist, and that our numbers are multiplying.
We would also like to assure your readership that our goal is not to join the ranks of the "hyperwhite" nerds, but rather, to create our own, particular culture, one rooted in the intersection of critical race theory and our emerging technocracy.
At the CONvergence conference in Minneapolis this summer, Nerds Of Color organized a series of workshops on everything from representations of Asians and Asian Americans in sci-fi, to racially hybrid characters, to future frontiers for GLBT characters of color. All workshops were better attended than the majority at the conference, and the response was phenomenal. Other Nerds Of Color have been contacting us ever since, asking about our other programming and events.
A similar phenomenon started several years ago at WisCon, a feminist science fiction convention held annually in Madison. This resulted in the formation of the Carl Brandon Society, which sponsors two awards given annually, readings, an active list-serv, and also administers the Octavia E. Butler Memorial Scholarship. The Butler Scholarship provides support for speculative fiction writers of color.
Think Galactic, a Chicago-based group, embraces nerds of many colors and backgrounds. The first Think GalactiCon — a convention on reading speculative fiction from a radical left perspective — had a very strong people of color presence, and given the small size of the con, was probably tipping towards even representation.
In short, nerdiness is becoming more brown, and therefore, more radical, every day. Nerds Of Color reject the mainstream notion that nerdiness = whiteness, and are proving it by writing pieces that celebrate (instead of erase) our racial backgrounds, offering critiques of White representations of us as "Other" in movies and television, and creating our own groups and events to celebrate our nascent culture. Researchers, mainstream publications and mainstream society may not be aware of us, but we are here, and here to stay.
The Carl Brandon Society, Think Galactic, Twin Cities Nerds Of Color, and brown nerds everywhere.
We wish the Times had printed that one, so we're doing our part.
But wait, there's more … Some of this is alluded to in the letter above, but it also needs to be stated directly:
1) Any argument that starts from the assumption that our culture has exactly two races is a racist argument: the article never mentions Asians, Latinos, people of mixed race, Native Americans, or anyone except African-Americans and white kids. This allows the linguist and the journalist to gloss silently over the stereotypical Asian nerd of exactly the sort they are discussing as "hyperwhite": embracing "the code of conspicuous intellectualism." Of course, people of all races embrace that code, and at the same time, Asians and whites are the two groups for whom it can be a stereotype.
2) The article presents an extremely narrow definition of "nerd," useful only to serve its own point. A black teenager who can name every rap and hip-hop artist, and all their albums, which year each one was produced, and the order of the songs, and who will correct you if you get any of that wrong, is a nerd by any useful definition. The same is true of a white kid who knows everything about car trims and rims, or a Latino expert in hand-painted sneaker graffiti. In fact, that last one is exactly the same kind of art nerd as the kid who can discourse endlessly on the differences between Duccio and Caravaggio. The language and the specifics are different, but the motivation and the passion are the same: and it's motivation and passion that make a nerd.
3) Finally, never trust any theorizing about race in the 21st (or 20th) century which doesn't address class. Many if not most of the nerds Bucholtz is describing, regardless of skin color, are from the middle class, though the article never mentions the term. Conflating race and class is one way that this culture stereotypes both black and white people, and ignores everyone else. While sneaker-graffiti experts and Lord of the Rings fans can come from any class, it's harder to be the former if you're middle-class and harder to be the latter if you're not. Class is a defining factor coloring what people around you judge as worthy of your interest. You have to be especially passionate about something to keep caring about it in the face of ridicule … and ridicule is one of the ways all classes try to keep their people in line.
So, no. Nerdiness is no more hyperwhite than standing on street corners is hyperblack.
Thanks to Betsy for being first with the link, and Shannon Gibney for the unpublished letter.

Neil Gaiman's Stardust: Evil Crones, Decorative Maidens, and One Shackled Mother
I went to see Stardust yesterday. Neil Gaiman, who wrote the underlying book and produced the movie, is a friend of many friends, and I admire a lot of his work. Before I take apart the gender politics of this movie, I do want to say that Gaiman has done a lot of good political work in his fiction: the famous Sandman comics handle all kinds of gender and race material well, including very early positive transgender characters. His novels have also featured strong women (including the strong, and likable, old women in Anansi Boys.
Maybe that's why I was so disappointed in the gender and age politics of Stardust. On its own terms, it's an excellent movie: a perfect fairy tale, beautifully directed and acted, superb pacing, lots of wonderful visuals, a great combination of funny and serious.
Looking beneath the surface, we find another story. I haven't read the book, but my understanding is that the movie is generally faithful to the book.
The basic story concerns young Tristan Thorn, who goes off to bring a fallen star to the woman of his dreams. The star turns out to be a beautiful young woman. Tristan is not the only person who wants the star. Killing her and eating her heart will confer new youth and extended life, the dream of three ancient and quite strikingly ugly witch sisters. Their ugliness is very significantly underscored with clothing and make-up, so that it is almost impossible to see them as anything but repulsive. They use the last shreds of the heart from the last start they killed to grant one sister youth and beauty, and she sets off in search of the newly fallen star.
As they say in the fiction trade, trouble ensues. Whenever the young and beautiful witch uses magic, she ages, so that by the end of the tale she is perhaps even older (and uglier) than she was at the beginning. She, of course, is completely infuriated by the signs of aging, and her sisters repeatedly warn her not to forfeit her beauty to unnecessary magic use. The message is old equals ugly equals evil, and the underlying motivation is "anything, however morally repulsive, is better than aging." You could say, "Well, they're the villains, you can't claim that the storytellers support their position," however, the only other old woman (or old person of any consequence) in the film is a cameo character who is also a witch, and also ugly and evil. Putting in a counterexample to your stereotyped villains is enough of a time-honored device that the lack of it here is striking. Among other things, Tristan's mother does not age even an apparent day between his birth and his teenage experiences … because she's a good character.
If that weren't enough of a body-image/feminist critique of the movie, the treatment of younger women is also problematic. The two main young female characters are 1) Tristan's love in the village, who is pretty, blonde, selfish, and shallow, and 2) the star, who is pretty, blonde, helpless, and not too smart. (Okay, she's a star; she's not good at being human.) Tristan's mother is handsome, dark-haired, and clever, but controlled by other forces for most of the story.
In the end, the star saves the day, and it would seem for a moment that women's agency has been recovered and the gender story of the movie has been somewhat redeemed. But then Tristan asks her why she didn't use her special powers earlier in the story. Her answer, "I can't shine without you."
To recap: old women are ugly, evil, self-hating, and amoral. Young women are stunningly conventionally beautiful, but either selfish or helpless without male support. Unsurprisingly, the male characters are much more varied: heroic, evil, stupid, kind, and so forth.
Lots of fairy tales are like that: 21st century ones don't have to be, and shouldn't be.
P.S. A different flavor of gender politics can be found in the way Robert DeNiro's character follows in the campy pirate tradition of Captain Hook, Dread Pirate Roberts, and Jack Sparrow. Those sequences are delightful.

Life tends to rework itself, and also currently right here you are towards completion of the pupil level, looking intently at the barrel of yet one more examination that will aid decide the scholarly future. Below are tips for obtaining the greatest magoosh GRE scores on GRE while holding the tension to a practical degree.
Probably the GRE examination isn't the only examination worry. You are endeavoring to get into graduate institution all points taken into consideration, and also keeping the assessments up is an immense requirement. While you are contemplating the GRE, you are in addition thinking about a couple of different examinations for different classes. Starting your magoosh GRE prep will enable maintain to sensations of anxiousness low while you take into consideration various points, as well as it will definitely raise the score at last. Start three to 4 months early, and also deposited an hour or two day-to-day– or as much time as you could for magoosh GRE prep.

Farm Laws Won't Be Taken Back: What To Expect At Talks Amid Protests
HomeAll IndiaFarm Laws Won't Be Taken Back: What To Expect At Talks Amid Protests
Farmers Protest: Sources say in talks with farmers, the government is likely to reassert that the three laws at the core of the protests will not be taken back.
All IndiaReported by Akhilesh Sharma, Edited by Deepshikha GhoshUpdated: December 01, 2020 4:59 pm IST
Farmers Protest: The government says the new laws will bring farmers better opportunities.
Defence Minister Rajnath Singh will lead talks with farmers who have been called today by the government in an attempt to find a resolution to the massive protests near Delhi against new farm laws. Agriculture Minister Narendra Tomar, though not chief negotiator, will be present during the discussions.
Sources say in talks with farmers, the government is likely to reassert that the three laws at the core of the protests will not be taken back. However, the government will reassure farmers on Minimum Support Price (MSP) and government markets or mandis. Thousands of farmers across India fear that the laws enacted in September, aimed at bringing reforms to the agriculture sector by allowing farmers to sell anywhere in the country, will deprive them of guaranteed minimum prices. They also worry that government markets or mandis will be scrapped, taking away their assured earning.
The fears are unfounded, the farmers will be reassured at every level, according to the sources.
Chief Ministers of BJP-ruled states are likely to be called upon to bolster the government's assertions by explaining how the reforms have worked on the ground.
Given that the chief demand of the farmers - cancelling the new laws - will not be granted, the talks are likely to continue, say sources, and for that, the government may offer a committee to take the negotiations forward.
On Monday, several union ministers and BJP leaders urged farmers to drop "misconceptions" about the farmer laws, asserting that they had nothing to do with the mechanism of MSP and ''mandis'', which would continue, along with the government's purchase of grains.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, on a visit to his Lok Sabha constituency Varanasi in Uttar Pradesh, underlined the message and accused the opposition of misleading farmers.
"The farmers are being deceived on these historic agriculture reform laws by the same people who have misled them for decades," he said, in an apparent reference to parties that are supporting the protest. He reiterated that farmers who wanted to follow the old system of trading - referring to the 'mandis'' where they can get the MSP - are still free to do so. But the three laws gave them new options to sell for more, he said.
"I want to say this from the banks of Mother Ganga - we are not working with the intention of deceiving. Our intentions are as holy as the water of river Ganga...If someone thinks that the earlier system is better, how is this law stopping anyone, bhai?" PM Modi said.
Several opposition parties have come out in support of the farmers.
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said: "Annadata (farmers) are on the streets and lies are being spread on TV."
The government says the new laws will bring farmers better opportunities and bring in new technologies in agriculture.
In a series of tweets in Hindi, BJP leader and Union minister Ravi Shankar Prasad said: "The new agri laws do not end APMC (Agricultural Produce Market Committee) mandis. Mandis will continue to operate as they have been. New laws have given farmers the freedom to sell their produce anywhere. Whoever gives farmers the best price will get to buy their produce be it inside the mandis or outside," he said.

What is a Bid Bond in Idaho?
A bid bond is one of the types of surety bonds, which guarantees that the bidder will accept the contract and complete the agreement according to its terms. The bid bond provides assurance to the project owner that the bidder has the knowhow and wherewithal to finish the job once you are selected after the bidding process. The basic reason is that you need one in order to get the job. However, the larger question is why are more owners/developers requiring a bid bond in the first place? The basic answer is risk. Given the uncertainty of the marketplace, which includes experienced contractors closing their doors, to municipalities filing bankruptcy (or just slow paying), has led to owners being afraid that their contractors will be unable complete the work. So, they require a some protection.
How much does a Bid Bond Cost in Idaho?
Swiftbonds does not charge for a bid bond (with two exceptions, see below). The reason that we don't charge for a bid bond is that we will charge for the P&P bond if you get the job. The cost of a bid bond can vary widely depending on the amount of coverage that is required (see below).
2) We will charge you if there is NOT going to be a bond.
Bond prices fluctuate based on the job size (that is, it's based on the cost of the underlying contract). The cost of a bond is estimated through a couple of back-of-the-envelope calculations. In general, the cost is approximately three percent (3%) for jobs under $800,000 and then the percentage is lower as the contract amount increases. We work diligently to find the lowest premiums possible in the state of Idaho. Please call us today at (913) 225-8501.

What is a Idaho Bid Bond?
Typically, a bid bond and performance/payment bond are done together in the same contract by the surety. This way, the owner is assured that the project can be completed pursuant to the terms of the contract and that it will not be liened by any contractor. The bond is risk security for the benefit of the owner.
The general contractor is the entity that obtains the bond. It is for the benefit of the owner (or in the case of government contract work, the governmental entity). It's the general contractor that has to apply for the bond and be underwritten before the bid bond is written by the surety. This is also known as bonding a business.
See our Illinois Bid Bond page here.
Bid Bonds can be very complex, especially if you don't know how it actually works. Most people think of this as a type of insurance, however it is only a kind of guarantee that the principal will do their work according to the contract. Although insurance businesses usually offer a Surety Bid Bond, you cannot really call it insurance because it has a different function. Most individuals would expect you to get a bid bond before they think about your services since it is a form of guarantee to them.
If you would like to get a bid bond or others, it's important know how they really work. We're going to give you some info about the importance of Bid Bonds and how they work.
Bid Bonds will be asked for by the public since it will protect them and it will guarantee that the principal will fulfill their responsibilities. As the principal, you need to get a Surety Bid Bond to guarantee that your company will adhere to the laws and you need a contract bond to make sure that a public construction project will likely be accomplished. There are examples which will offer an idea on bid bond.
This is made for the consumers since they will be protected by the bond, but it may also provide benefits to you because they will trust you when you have this in place.
Bid Bonds are considered as a three-party agreement between the principal, the obliged and the surety company. The obliged is the project owner and the principal is the employer or company that will do the work. Construction businesses will almost always be required by law to acquire Bid Bonds when they're employed for a public project. The government will require a construction company to secure a host of bonds before they work on a particular project. The bond will ensure that the subcontractors and the other workers will be paid even if the contractor will default. The contractor will cover the losses, but as soon as they reach their limit, the duty will fall to the surety company.
Bid Bonds are offered by insurance organizations, but you can look for standalone surety businesses that will specialize in these products. It will not be simple to apply for a bond because the applicant will have to go thru a strict procedure that is very comparable to applying for a loan. The bond underwriters will still assess the financial history of the applicant, their credit profile and other important aspects to make sure that they qualify to be approved. It also means that there's a chance that you will be denied for a bid bond, especially when the underwriters find something negative on the credit history.
There is no set rate when applying for a Surety Bid Bond because it can still depend on various reasons like the bond type, bond amount, where the bond will probably be issued, contractual risk, credit history of the applicant and more. There are literally thousands of bonds available today and the cost will depend on the type that you will get. It will not be a problem for the amount of the bond because you can get a $10,000 bond or a $25,000 bond. If you have a credit history that is above or near 700, you will qualify for the standard bonding market and you will pay about 1 to 4 percent of the Surety Bid Bond amount. If you get a $10,000 bond, it will only cost $100 to $400.
Is There A Chance that you could be Declined?
There's a chance that your bid bond request can be denied by the insurance companies and it will depend on the background check that they do. As soon as they feel that giving you a bond will be a big risk, they won't release a bid bond for you.
Credit history is also an issue because if you have a bad credit rating, it would be extremely tough for you to get a Surety Bid Bond as the businesses consider you as a risk. If you have a poor credit score, you could be approved for the bond, but you must pay an interest rate of 10 to 20 percent.
There is a possibility that your application will be denied so you should look into the requirements before applying.
If you are planning to obtain a bid bond, make sure that you know what it can offer. It's not easy to apply for it, but if you understand more concerning this, it will likely be easier to get approved.

Lincoln byl navrhovaný stát USA, jehož vznik byl navrhnut v roce 1869, po Americké občanské válce. Měl vzniknout v jižní části Texasu (území západně od řeky Colorado). Stát měl nést jméno po americkém presidentu Abrahamovi Lincolnovi. Po Americké občanské válce vzniklo více návrhů jak rozdělit Texas, ale většina z nich se ani nedostalo na projednání do Kongresu. Návrh o státě Lincoln se sice do Kongresu dostal, ale stejně jako všechny ostatní nebyl schválen.

Tento návrh nebyl jediný návrh navrhující vznik státu Lincoln v americké historii. Ve stejné době se jednalo také o vzniku státu Lincoln na severozápadě USA. Ani tento návrh ale neprošel.

Full Federal Appeals Court To Rehear Major Abortion Case
Edward White
On December 1, 2021, the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit issued an order granting the request that it rehear the challenge to a Tennessee abortion law en banc. In other words, all active judges of the court will consider the case.
The Tennessee law at issue limits abortions after a baby's heartbeat can be detected and prohibits doctors from knowingly performing abortions that target unborn children because of their race, sex, or Down syndrome status (actual or perceived).
Planned Parenthood and others challenged the law, convincing a federal trial judge to enjoin it. A divided three-judge panel of the Sixth Circuit, which governs the federal courts of Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky, and Tennessee, wrongly upheld the trial court's injunction in a 2-to-1 decision. The American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ) had filed an amicus curiae brief in support of the Tennessee law.
Tennessee subsequently filed a petition for rehearing en banc, requesting that all active judges on the Sixth Circuit review the ruling that stopped the implementation of the Tennessee law.
The ACLJ filed another amicus curiae brief in support of Tennessee and urged the Sixth Circuit to reconsider the three-judge panel's ruling. The brief was submitted on behalf of the ACLJ and the more than 400,000 members of the ACLJ's Committee To Defend Pro-Life Laws and Babies With Disabilities.
We explained in the brief that the court should grant en banc review (1) to maintain uniformity of its case law since the Tennessee statute in question is virtually identical to an Ohio statute (also prohibiting Down-syndrome-selective abortions) that the Sixth Circuit ruled constitutional earlier this year, and (2) to consider the impact the injunction against the Tennessee law will have on pre-born children, specifically those with Down syndrome, who face death through selective abortion despite the legal protection they have in every other aspect of their lives.
We further explained that Tennessee should be allowed to protect all persons within its borders, born and pre-born, from disability-, race-, or gender-based discrimination. Permitting such discriminatory abortions revives discredited and dangerous eugenic practices, gravely damages the principle of equal treatment under the law, and undermines the value of human life.
The Sixth Circuit agreed with Tennessee's and our position and granted the request to rehear the case en banc, vacating the three-judge panel's decision in the process. The Sixth Circuit will hold oral argument in the case on March 9, 2022, and will issue its decision thereafter. The amicus curiae brief we filed when the three-judge panel considered the case will be part of the record on appeal when the en banc court rehears the case.
The ACLJ will continue to monitor this case and stands ready to file additional briefs as it moves forward.


This is the third review by the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) since 1997 related to alleged irregularities by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Laboratory (Lab).2 The first two OIG reports focused on alleged FBI Lab deficiencies, the conduct of individuals brought to our attention by a whistleblower, and remedial actions the FBI took in response to our recommendations. This report addresses how the Criminal Division Task Force (Task Force), created by the Department in 1996 and whose mission was redefined in 1997, managed the identification, review, and follow-up of cases involving the use of scientifically unsupportable analysis and overstated testimony by FBI Lab examiners in criminal prosecutions. We analyzed the Task Force's review of cases involving 13 FBI examiners the Task Force determined had been criticized in the 1997 OIG report. We included in our review a close examination of cases handled by 1 of the 13 examiners, Michael Malone, the Lab's Hairs and Fibers Unit examiner whose conduct was particularly problematic.
Although the Task Force made a diligent effort to manage a complex review of thousands of cases, we found the following serious deficiencies in the Department's and the FBI's design, implementation, and overall management of the case review process.
First, despite some effort by the Task Force to segregate for priority treatment cases involving defendants on death row, the Department and the FBI did not take sufficient steps to ensure that the capital cases were the Task Force's top priority. We found that it took the FBI almost 5 years to identify the 64 defendants on death row whose cases involved analyses or testimony by 1 or more of the 13 examiners. The Department did not notify state authorities that convictions of capital defendants could be affected by involvement of any of the 13 criticized examiners. Therefore, state authorities had no basis to consider delaying scheduled executions.
Lockhart or Stano to the crimes for which they were convicted and executed, the Task Force did not learn this critical information before the executions so that appropriate steps could have been taken had the analyses or testimony been material to the convictions and unreliable.
Another capital defendant (Joseph Young) died in prison of natural causes in 1996 before the 1997 OIG report was published. However, the Task Force did not refer his case to the FBI for review by an independent scientist even though the prosecutor had deemed the FBI Lab analysis and testimony to be material to the conviction. It is not known whether the outcome of this defendant's trial or his sentence would have been different without the examiner's testimony, which in other cases was deemed scientifically inaccurate, exaggerated, and unreliable. In all, the Task Force referred only 8 of the 64 death penalty cases involving the criticized examiners for review by an independent scientist. We found evidence that the independent scientists' reports were forwarded to capital defendants in only two cases. The Department should have handled all death penalty cases with greater priority and urgency.
WASHINGTON — The FBI and Justice Department didn't move quickly enough to identify the cases handled by 13 FBI crime lab examiners whose work was found to be flawed, meaning defendants sometimes were never notified that their convictions may have been based on bad science, according to a government report released Wednesday.
The report from the department's inspector general said it took the FBI nearly five years to identify the more than 60 death-row defendants whose cases involved analysis or testimony from one or more of the 13 examiners.
At least three inmates were executed before a Justice Department task force, created in 1996, had identified their cases for further review. In one of those cases, the 1997 execution of Benjamin H. Boyle in Texas, an independent scientist later determined that the FBI lab analysis was scientifically unsupportable, the report said.
The Justice Department's internal review of faulty FBI lab work had "serious deficiencies," including the failure to make death penalty cases a priority, the department's inspector general concluded.
In a 138-page report released today, the Office of the Inspector General said the Justice Department didn't review all of the cases by a "problematic" FBI examiner whose work was known to be faulty and whose "scientifically unsupportable" testimony contributed to the conviction of an innocent defendant.
The report also found that the department failed to ensure that defendants learned their convictions may have been tainted, and it didn't tell prosecutors it was important to swiftly alert defendants to the problems, especially in death penalty cases.
O'Neill's New York FBI team was at the center of bureacratic arm-wrestling over who would head the 1998 investigation into the embassy bombings in East Africa. O'Neill again was the focus of a heated political battle over the investigation of the 2000 attack against the USS Cole in Yemen. Current and former government officials such as Richard Clarke,counterterrorism chief in the Clinton administration and Barry Mawn, former head of the New York FBI office, recount how O'Neill's desire to show the Yemeni security forces — which he viewed as being less than cooperative — that the FBI meant business was one of many issues in the investigation which angered U.S. Ambassador Barbara Bodine.
WASHINGTON (CNN) — FBI Director Louis Freeh testified Thursday he does not yet know how information identifying security guard Richard Jewell as a suspect in the Centennial Olympic Park bombing last July was leaked to the news media.
In late October, Jewell was cleared by the Justice Department of any involvement in the bombing.
At least 500 people in 11 agencies — including the FBI — knew about the investigation of Jewell, he said.
Fox has picked up the rights to the Vanity Fair article "The Ballad of Richard Jewell" for the duo to star in and produce.
After teaming up successfully — critically and financially — for The Wolf of Wall Street, Leonardo DiCaprio and Jonah Hill are partnering again. This time, they will tell the true story of Richard Jewell, the security guard who went from hero to suspect at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics.
Fox has picked up the rights to the Vanity Fair article The Ballad of Richard Jewell, written by Marie Brenner, for the duo to star in.
DiCaprio will produce the adaptation with his partner Jennifer Davisson Killoran, Hill and Kevin Misher, who initially optioned the material.
Jewell was working as a security guard at the '96 Summer Games when he discovered a backpack containing pipe bombs, subsequently sounding the alarm and helping to clear the area. However, the bomb did detonate, killing one person and injuring dozens of others.
Initially hailed as a hero, Jewell was soon the prime suspect, as the FBI searched his home twice. A media frenzy painted him as an overweight failed cop and mama's boy, and he became the punchline for late-night jokes.
After being raked over the coals by the media, Jewell was cleared, but the damage had been done. Lawsuits followed (against NBC and CNN, among several others), and the FBI and other government agencies were forced to make public apologies.

Q: Proof for $f(n) \in O(n)$ implies $[f(n)]^2 \in O(n^2)$. I'll first give my proof:
$$f(n) \in O(n) \implies f(n) \leq c \cdot n$$
with $c \in \mathbb R^+$ and $n \geq m$ with $m \in \mathbb N$.
Let $f(n) = b \cdot n$ with $b \in \mathbb R^+$
$$[f(n)]^2 \in O(n^2) \implies b^2 \cdot n^2 \leq c \cdot n^2$$
There exists a $c \geq b^2$ therefore $f(n) \in O(n)$ implies that $[f(n)]^2 \in O(n^2)$. $\square$
Is my proof correct; if not what is wrong? Can someone also give me a correct proof?

A: First, note you should use absolute values around $f(n)$ in the inequality, such as shown in the Formal Definition section of Wikipedia's "Big O notation" article. Also, you've only shown it's true for a specific $f(n)$, i.e., $f(n) = bn$.
To show it's true in general for all $f(n) \in O(n)$, note that, since $cn \gt 0$, you have for $n \ge m$ with $m \in \mathbb{N}$ your expression that you can square both sides to get
$$|f(n)| \le cn \implies |f^2(n)| \le (c^2)n^2 \tag{1}\label{eq1A}$$
This shows that $[f(n)]^2 \in O(n^2)$, with the constant being $c^2$ in this case.

It's Not Bigotry When Progressives Do It
by Stephen H. Miller on June 26, 2018
The NYT publishes an animated film mocking Trump and Putin for being homosexual lovers, using one disgusting gay stereotype after the next to do it. I'm sure they'll claim some LGBT person was involved. Homophobia for progressive messaging is still bigotry https://t.co/rbOwIyLHn7

Homophobia for progressive messaging is still bigotry …
Absolutely. And political correctness is political correctness.
The film could have used a "bromance" metaphor to mock Trump. It didn't need to bring out the unicorns. It shouldn't have, and the NYT should have had more sense.

The NYT is not our ally. In conjunction with the revival of THE BOYS IN THE BAND, they had a story about "disappearing gay culture" along with article after article praising and enabling gay erasure and heterosexual misappropriation of gay culture.
IGF had a thread on the NYT article back in late April. As I recall, you were absent from the discussion. I don't miss the "disappearing gay culture". If you do, you probably aren't old enough to have experienced it.
posted by Matthew on July 9, 2018
I didn't miss the article, just the discussion here. But if you don't miss it and you have no problem calling anti-gay self-mutilation fetishists "allies," then you have some serious self-loathing issues you really need to stop projecting on everyone else. I'm glad I missed your overwritten word salad bullshit projecting your bigotry onto gay conservatives. That just verified that as far as I'm concerned, the only gay people I will ever respect at all or consider part of the gay community are gay conservatives. I won't even date you unless you're a registered Republican.

Stop telling us what you think we should be outraged by…given T Rump and Vlad's stated and rigorously expressed Alpha Maleness, their odd relationship is going to draw this sort of abuse…
Heterosexuality is inherently abusive and fascistic. Stop tolerating it.
It's a pity comments here doesn't permit photos, or I could show a curated selection of right wing cartoons presenting Ms. Clinton as a violent, man hating lesbian.
If you think that the attacks on Secretary Clinton were homophobic, hang on and wait for the attacks on Jared Polis, who won the Democratic gubernatorial nomination last night.
More whataboutism from the Regressive Left. Yawn.

If the worst you can accuse "progressives" of is acting as bad as "conservatives", I'm not sure I'm going to care.
To put it simply, "progressives" will continue using weird gay innuendos to insult conservatives so long as conservatives treat weird gay innuendos as insulting.
Which is fundamentally why the occasional mocking "Trump and Putin are gay for each other" stuff gets so much press, but the sincere "President Obama is gay and his wife is a beard" stuff from conservatives never got much traction. Because conservatives/Republicans do care when you call their President gay, and progressives/Democrats really didn't care if some conservatives/Republicans thought their President was gay.
So y'know how every now and then someone wills at that we need to change both parties to have real "success"? This is part of what they're talking about. So c'mon gay conservatives/republicans, change your party such that "Trump is gay, lol" isn't so provocative, and the people trying to provoke you will stop saying it.
So-called "progressives" are worse than conservatives because they're hypocrites, closet bigots, and abusers. It isn't conservatives who are pushing a pseudoscientific form of gay erasure and calling it progress. All your attempts to deflect-and-project to anti-conservative fake news pseudo-stories are just more forms of whataboutism. We're sick of it. Using homosexuality as an insult is never, ever, EVER funny. Privileged heterosexual "men", especially those of the white race, do not have the right to defame gay people in that fashion.
Hear, hear! All that, and the proclivity for loud homophobic actors to have gay sex scandals…a week generally doesn't go by without right wing anti GLBT politicians or "faith leaders" to be caught in some sordid Motel Six with an underage youth…
You mean like that anti-child abuse advocate who just got arrested for trying to rape toddlers? I'm pretty sure he is a Regressive Leftist. And with Roy Moore, it was only teenage girls he was accused of being improper towards, no one younger.

Because they all got bit by transgender bunnies.
There is no such thing as the "Regressive Right," that's just more Leftist doubletalk projecting their own regressive nature onto those who are smart enough to call them out on your bullshit. You have gay people's blood on your hands and you don't care. Why should I believe in "climate change" when you refuse to acknowledge the reality and immutability of biological sex. Why should I support celebrity bullshit supporting gun control when those same celebrities use movies and TV to fetishize the same violent dudebro douchebagism that tears men apart from each other? Why should I support continuing to tax, spend, and regulate the shit out of everything when every city and state that has done that has turned into a ghetto shit hole?
Meanwhile, back in the real world, Trump made a gay man ambassador to Germany and another gay man (and the former head of LCR, no less) into an Assistant Secretary of State for Political-Military Affairs. It's not 1992 anymore; update your Regressive Left lying points accordingly.

Eight Members Of Indian Boxing Squad In Turkey Test Positive For COVID, Quarantined In Istanbul
IndiatimesUpdated on Mar 30, 2021, 16:58 IST
Eight members of an Indian boxing squad, including three pugilists, tested positive for COVID-19 during a competition trip to Turkey and have been quarantined in Istanbul.
Commonwealth Games silver-medallist Gaurav Solanki (57kg), Prayag Chouhan (75kg) and Brijesh Yadav (81kg) tested positive for the virus a week back, leading to them being quarantined following the event which ended on March 19.
Coaches Dharmendra Yadav and Santosh Birmole, physiotherapists Shikha Kedia and Dr Umesh along with video analyst Nitin Kumar are the others in isolation, a team source told PTI.
They were in Istanbul to compete in the Bosphorus Tournament. Solanki had claimed the lone medal -- a bronze -- among men.
Among women, Nikhat Zareen (51kg) had also fetched a bronze helping India finish with two medals overall.
The others who travelled for the tournament were Lalith Prasad (52kg), Shiva Thapa (63kg), Duryodhan Singh Negi (69kg), Naman Tanwar (91kg) and Krishnan Sharma (+91kg).
Thinkstk
The women's group featured Zareen, Sonia Lather (57kg), Parveen (60kg), Jyoti Grewal (69kg) and Pooja Saini (75kg).
The ones who have tested positive will have to wait for at least one more week before they undergo a fresh COVID-19 test to ascertain their recovery and clear the passage for a flight home.

Are there any known fixes or work around for this issue??


You know what's not so black and white, teeth whitening. Anyone who has ever considered doing a little something extra for a brighter smile will tell you, there are a number of things to consider. For example, can teeth whitening only be done at the dentists? How long can I expect it to last? What's used to whiten the teeth? And most importantly, is teeth whitening safe?
Red Wine: Tooth-Decay Fighting Super Hero or Wishful Drinking?
If you're someone who prefers to try the more holistic approach, there are some safe natural teeth- whitening methods, including using baking soda (with apple cider vinegar or strawberries), eating pineapple and oil pulling. Oil pulling is simply swishing coconut oil through your teeth to take advantage of the oil's antimicrobial properties, thus helping to protect and clean your gums as well as prevent disease.
While there's no proof that any of these practices remove stains 100%, they're all safe natural teeth-whitening methods with little to no side effects. So, if you've got some of the ingredients around the house you don't have anything to lose by trying them out.
There are plenty of options to consider if you prefer to keep your teeth whitening close to home. Probably the easiest step you can take is just swapping out your regular toothpaste and mouthwash for a whitening variety, which can help to lighten stains with regular use. Beyond that, home whitening kits come in a variety of forms, from pens, to strip, and complete mouth guard kits. And, depending on the kits' ingredients and brand, you're probably able to pick one up at your grocery store or drugstore.
However, while home kits are affordable and easily accessible, most don't contain enough active ingredients to effectively lift stains from the teeth. In fact, legally, these products have to contain less than 10% of carbamide peroxide and no more than 3.5% of hydrogen peroxide, the most common teeth whitening bleaches. Additionally, when using a home mouth guard kit, it's possible to have gel spillage onto your gums, which can cause irritation and blisters.
So, if you're looking to try whitening your teeth at home, your best bet is visiting your dentist first to make sure that teeth whitening is the right option for you. And then, once you receive your dentist's okay, be sure and complete a dental checkup and cleaning so you can be sure and start to whiten your teeth on a clean slate.
Teeth whitening done at your dentist's office is the safest way to see results. There are two options to choose from. Professional bleaching involves the dentist creating a mold of your teeth, then using a gel inside the mold to whiten them. Laser whitening is more expensive, but it produces a better result by painting powder bleach onto your teeth and then using lasers to activate the whitening process.
Compared to the lower concentration of active ingredients in home kits, dentists can use up to 25 - 40% of hydrogen peroxide, achieving a much faster and more brilliant result. Usually, teeth whitening at the dentist requires only one session where the bleach is left on for 15-30 minutes, although it's possible to have up to three sessions (spread over a longer period of time) to achieve maximum whiteness.
Due to the higher concentration of hydrogen peroxide, dental whitening also raises the risk of gum irritation. However, if you're getting your teeth whitened at the dentist, he or she will use a rubber dam to protect your gums, and the dentist is trained to notice any irritation and treat it quickly.
For those with sensitive teeth, a pre-treatment of fluoride can help strengthen teeth before bleaching, and potassium nitrate can aid in calming the nerves in the teeth to create a more comfortable whitening experience. Again, these are all services that are unique to the dentist, so for the safest method with the best results, dental teeth whitening is a clear winner.
Still wondering if teeth whitening is safe? Before committing to making your pearly whites pearlier and whiter, when done at the dentist you can be rest assured teeth whitening is considered safe. However, when done improperly and without medical advice, tooth and gum sensitivity can occur. These effects are often short-term and treatable, with no long-term effects being recorded as of yet. When used in a proper environment, teeth whitening can be a safe way to help you achieve the smile you've always wanted.

Halina Czerny-Stefanska - a female celebrity - born on Sunday December 31st 1922, in Krakow, Poland,.
Halina Czerny-Stefanska possesses a great talent for creativity and self expression, typical of many accomplished writers, poets, actors and musicians. She is also witty, owns the gift for gab, and savors the limelight.
Stefanska is optimistic and masters the resilience to overcome many setbacks. Thanks to her gift for self expression, she can be the life of the party, and the center of attention. When used constructively, Halina's talent for self expression can be a great inspiration force in the world, uplifting others, and bringing much success and happiness to her. However, Halina Czerny-Stefanska could easily squander her talent by becoming a social butterfly.
Her talent for the expressive arts is so abundant that Halina may well have felt drawn to becoming an artist while still very young. However, these artistic abilities can only be enhanced through discipline and commitment to the true development of her talent. In other words, creativity is the gift that can give Halina Czerny-Stefanska the comfort and luxury she desires, but not without continual focus and discipline.
Halina Czerny-Stefanska is emotional and vulnerable. She can be generous to a fault, but when hurt, she withdraws into a cloud of silence, eventually emerging from her reticence with jokes and laughter that cover up her true feelings. More...
More flavors to Halina's personality
Halina Czerny-Stefanska is a person of thinking and planning.
Having well-developed business mindset, she is good at making effective plans, setting goals and working out the best way to achieve them.
She may also have excellent organisational and administrative skills, but that depends on how often she skips the details in order not to lose sight of the bigger picture.
It is natural for Halina to think before she acts, to constantly plan the short- and long-term future, and to keep elaborate notes and diary with everything well planned and written down.
She also knows how to work effectively and efficiently with others in business, while maintaining self control and discipline, and teaching them to appreciate knowledge as the key ingredient to success.
If Halina is over-organized, she should practice finding her way in disarrayed environment, or otherwise feel confused and in disarray herself.
But if she ignores the details in favor of the bigger picture, others might view Stefanska as undisciplined with details, and not appreciate her great planning skills.
Tour Halina's menu and gain more insight into her personality traits, relationships, strengths and weaknesses, likes and dislikes, compatibility with you and with others, and much more.

The beginning of the book of Exodus is hard not to enjoy. With the burning bush, the Nile turning to blood, the dramatic exit through the Red Sea, what's not to love? With so many big events, it's easy to miss the details. Details like the fact that most of the main characters in the first two chapters are women. Each one of them acts in the interest of children, even when their own safety is threatened. Without these five women, Israel's story of redemption doesn't happen. Without these five women, Moses doesn't survive the infanticide occurring in Egypt, and there is no leader to be God's instrument of deliverance.

Q: How to get a list of strings to print out vertically in a text file? I have some data that I've pulled from a website. This is the code I used to grab it (my actual code is much longer but I think this about sums it up).
lid_restrict_save = []
for t in range(10000,10020):

    address = 'http://www.tspc.oregon.gov/lookup_application/' + lines2[t]

    page = requests.get(address)

    tree = html.fromstring(page.text)

    #District Restriction
    dist_restrict = tree.xpath('//tr[11]//text()')
    if u"District Restriction" in dist_restrict:
        lid_restrict_save.append(id2)

I'm trying to export this list:
print lid_restrict_save
[['5656966VP65', '5656966RR68', '56569659965', '56569658964']]

to a text file.
f = open('dis_restrict_no_uniqDOB2.txt', 'r+')

for j in range(0,len(lid_restrict_save)):
    s = ( (unicode(lid_restrict_save[j]).encode('utf-8') + ' \n' ))
    f.write(s)

f.close()

I want the text to come out looking like this:
5656966VP65
5656966RR68
56569659965
56569658964

This code worked but only when I started the range from 0.
f = open('dis_restrict.txt', 'r+')

for j in range(0,len(ldob_restrict)):
    f.write( ldob_restrict[j].encode("utf-8") + ' \n' )

f.close()

When I've tried changing the code I keep getting this error:
"AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'encode'."
I've tried the suggestions from here, here, and here but to no avail.
If anyone has any hints it would be greatly appreciated.

A: lid_restrict_save is a nested list so you can't encode the first element because it is not a string.
You could write to the txt file using this:
lid_restrict_save = [['5656966VP65', '5656966RR68', '56569659965', '56569658964']]

lid_restrict_save = lid_restrict_save[0] # remove the outer list

with open('dis_restrict.txt', 'r+') as f:
    for i in lid_restrict_save:
        f.write(str(i) + '\n')
