Will a ninth country join the list of World Cup winners?
The World Cup football tournament has been played since 1930, with a break forced by the second World War, but only eight countries have emerged winners at the 21 competitions.
The 22nd competition kicked off in the Persian Gulf state of Qatar on November 20. The competition is the biggest as far as TV viewership goes, outdoing even the Olympics. It is watched in more countries than the Games.
Brazil have won the trophy on five occasions, the most recent being in 2002, and finished runners-up twice. Germany is next, with four wins, three as West Germany, and one, in 2014, after unification. Continue reading "Will a ninth country join the list of World Cup winners?"
Credlin doco indicates Libs growing desperate as Vic election looms
With elections in the state of Victoria just a week away, politicians are in a feverish mood as they try to rustle up support to win their seats.
The rush to push their barrows has been sped up no end after early voting started on 14 November and reports emerged of big numbers voting ahead of the election. More than 2.2 million of the state's registered 4.4 million voters are expected to cast their votes before election day. The first four days of early voting saw 556,193 people exercise their franchise.
Thus one can understand why badly crafted election propaganda like a Sky News documentary titled The Cult of Dan Andrews are making an appearance. The opposition is desperate to make inroads into the Labor vote, but with a leader like Matthew Guy, who went backwards in the last election, the task ahead is like rolling a huge boulder up a mountain.

Conflict of interest: ABC caught changing online story
The ABC has been caught out changing an online news report after iTWire pointed out that the report in question — about Thursday's Q+A program — contained no mention of the fact that Alastair MacGibbon, the chief technology officer of security shop CyberCX, is currently providing advice to Medibank Group, a company which recently suffered a devastating network attack.
[This story was originally published at itwire.com]
MacGibbon was given a platform to tout his wares on the ABC's Q+A program on Thursday with only a fleeting mention of the fact that his firm is now advising Medibank how to deal with its ransomware attack and subsequent data leak. Continue reading "Conflict of interest: ABC caught changing online story"
Pakistan captain must take the blame for losing to India
Pakistan skipper Babar Azam blew it. Which captain in the universe would choose to give the last over in a T20 match to an inexperienced spinner rather than a fast bowler, when the side chasing a win is on the wrong side of the equation?
The match one refers to is the T20 clash between India and Pakistan at the MCG on Sunday [October 23].
[India needed 48 off the last three overs and then 16 off the last, after Pakistan made 159 in their 20 overs.] Continue reading "Pakistan captain must take the blame for losing to India"
Time-wasting in rugby matches is at its peak
Last Thursday [September 15] the issue of time-wasting in international rugby matches was highlighted after a referee changed a decision from a penalty to Australia to a scrum feed to New Zealand, in the last minute of the game.
The decision was taken because fly-half Bernard Foley was taking too long to kick the ball to touch. And following that, even today there are discussions taking place about the amount of time that is wasted during such matches.
Nowhere was the extent of this highlighted better than on the Sky News New Zealand show The Breakdown, a one-hour show that runs on Sunday night. Continue reading "Time-wasting in rugby matches is at its peak"
Referee Raynal made right decision in Bledisloe Cup match
French referee Mathieu Raynal made the right decision when he asked the All Blacks to feed a scrum after he had first awarded a penalty to Australia and then waited, seemingly forever, for the fly-half Bernard Foley to take the kick to touch.
There was little time left to play and after the scrum feed went the All Blacks way, they scored a try through Jordie Barrett to win the game 39-37.
Doubtless the Australians would have felt gutted, doubtless this kind of decision has been rarely, if ever, seen before, doubtless it decided the game the All Blacks way, when it looked very much like an Australian victory was the only outcome.
But it was the right decision, taken at a time when its impact would be really felt. Continue reading "Referee Raynal made right decision in Bledisloe Cup match"
After nine years, Labor finally wins government in Australia
Australia finally has a change of government. After nine long years under Liberal/National rule, the Labor party has ensured that it will lead the next administration.
Labor won the most seats in Saturday's election and it remains to be seen whether they will govern in their own right or as a minority government.
But they will have the first shot at governing given that they have close to the 76 seats needed for a majority in the lower house.

Bias? Don't know that word, says The Age editor
Another Saturday, and there's a fresh dose of wisdom from Gay Alcorn, the venerable editor of The Age, a tabloid that is one of the two main newspapers in Melbourne. Once again, Alcorn's gem was behind a paywall in the morning but is now free to read.
As with her effort some weeks ago — which was dissected here — Alcorn is again trying to play the balance card even as accusations of bias arise. This time, a federal election campaign is in full swing and thus the shrieks from the gallery are that much louder.
Alcorn claims the newspaper, part of once what was a large stable running under the name Fairfax Media until it was taken over by Nine Entertainment, has not moved to the right.
[I worked for the website of The Age for nearly 17 years, from June 1999 until May 2016.] Continue reading "Bias? Don't know that word, says The Age editor"

Obama Defends Spy Programs, Reins In Some Aspects

President Obama offered a vigorous defense of U.S. signals intelligence gathering Friday, asserting anew that there is no evidence of government abuse of laws when it comes to Americans' privacy and civil liberties.
Nevertheless, he announced adjustments to some surveillance programs, conceding that new "bulk collection programs" in the future run the risk of disclosing more about citizens' private lives as technology advances. "I believe we need a new approach," he said.
Many of the changes Obama ordered on his own, and others he encouraged Congress to consider, would not be immediate and are intended to enhance public confidence about programs he says are effective but were unknown to the public before last year.
"These efforts have prevented multiple attacks and saved innocent lives -- not just here in the United States, but around the globe," Obama said at the Justice Department after praising the work of the intelligence community.
Lawmakers, security experts and privacy advocates offered mixed reviews after the speech, suggesting that the public debate about the very existence of the phone metadata program had shifted to a complex discussion about modifications, more transparency and annual oversight of laws and practices used by the government to combat terrorism.
Obama said he would alter the National Security Agency's phone metadata program, which stockpiles information about all phone calls made by and to Americans, by "transitioning" away from archiving such metadata inside the government. That program was secret until disclosed last summer through major newspapers by former federal contractor Edward Snowden.
For now, however, that signals-collection program will continue -- with two procedural adjustments Obama ordered -- while debate continues about how (as an alternative to NSA data-storage) such private-sector communications data would continue to be accessible to the government so it can track plotters and thwart terror attacks. Obama said he was turning to Congress and independent experts to develop practical solutions that might resolve that question, preferably in advance of the law's reauthorization in late March.
"The reforms I'm proposing today should give the American people greater confidence that their rights are being protected, even as our intelligence and law enforcement agencies maintain the tools they need to keep us safe," the president said during a 45-minute address.
Senior administration officials confirmed Obama was not proposing changes to other signals-surveillance programs used by the intelligence community and justified under the same section of the law as the metadata phone collection program.
"We're not addressing any other potential programs with regard to [Section] 215" beyond "bulk telephony metadata," a senior administration official said, referencing Section 215 of the USA Patriot Act.
A trio of Democratic senators who are members of the Senate Select Intelligence Committee said after the speech that they plan to continue pushing for additional reforms in Congress, despite their praise for Obama's "intent" to end the phone metadata program.
"In particular, we will work to close the [NSA] `back-door searches' loophole, and ensure that the government does not read Americans' emails or other communications without a warrant," Sens. Ron Wyden of Oregon, Mark Udall of Colorado, and Martin Heinrich of New Mexico said in a jointly issued statement.
The senators' mention of a loophole pointed to the NSA's power to collect the content of electronic communications without a warrant if the target is overseas, not in the United States. Advocates for reform seek to prohibit the NSA from vacuuming up Americans' phone, email and other electronic data under the guise of working backward through a chain of data from a foreign target.
Obama said he was responsive to concerns about the NSA's "Section 702" program by directing the attorney general and the director of national intelligence "to institute reforms that place additional restrictions on government's ability to retain, search and use in criminal cases communications between Americans and foreign citizens incidentally collected under Section 702."
Privacy advocates and civil liberties groups said the president's desire to overhaul the NSA's bulk phone data collection program was laudable, but that he should end a program that his own independent signals-intelligence review panel told him had not dismantled a single terrorist plot.
"The right answer here is to stop the bulk collection completely -- not to keep the same bulk data under a different roof," said Kevin Bankston, policy director for New America's Open Technology Institute, a nonprofit policy advocacy organization.
"The president should end -- not mend -- the government's collection and retention of all law-abiding Americans' data," the American Civil Liberties Union argued in a statement that otherwise commended Obama's interest in transparency, outside advocacy and extension of some U.S. surveillance protections to foreign citizens.
Obama started off his speech with a reference to Paul Revere, and continued with two mentions of Snowden, a detailed reference to phone chatter between 9/11 plotters, and closed with terse swipes at the governments of China and Russia for their privacy-rights critiques of the administration.
Obama said he sought to reassure allied heads of state and government that their phone calls are no longer subject to NSA surveillance, unless the United States decides such surveillance is justified by national security concerns. A senior administration official, briefing reporters before Friday's speech, confirmed that "dozens" of world leaders, including German Chancellor Angela Merkel, were part of the NSA surveillance of international phone communications, revealed last year by Snowden, who is now living in exile in Russia.
Obama's no-spying-on-foreign-leaders order does not extend to foreign officials and aides close to heads of state who are deemed friends of the United States, a senior administration official clarified to reporters before the president's remarks. "We focused on heads of state and government. Frankly, that was the issue that had emerged. We do believe that's a unique category," the official said. "Having looked at this issue and having reviewed our signals intelligence, we have made determinations to not pursue surveillance on dozens of heads of state and government."
During his speech, Obama said he was content to pick up his phone to get information from world leaders rather than spy on their communications. "I've made clear to the intelligence community that unless there is a compelling national security purpose, we will not monitor the communications of heads of state and government of our close friends and allies," he said.
Responding to complaints from private communications companies that turn over customers' information to the government, Obama said he would increase the transparency of those secret government orders, known as national security letters. He said he wants to terminate the secrecy "within a fixed period," and wants to permit companies to make public more information about their cooperation with the government.
As expected, lawmakers' reactions to the changes Obama advocated varied, including his recommendations to punt some decisions to Congress.
House Speaker John Boehner suggested the president's announcements were politically motivated to respond to public anxieties, and risked handcuffing U.S. counterterrorism efforts.
"I look forward to learning more about how the new procedure for accessing data will not put Americans at greater risk," Boehner said in a statement. "The House will review any legislative reforms proposed by the administration, but we will not erode the operational integrity of critical programs that have helped keep America safe."
Kentucky conservative Sen. Rand Paul, who is mulling a presidential run in 2016, said the final word on NSA surveillance would come from the judicial branch, not the executive or legislative branches.
"This is something that's going to have to be decided by the Supreme Court," he said during a CNN interview.
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Sen. Patrick Leahy, who attended Obama's speech, said Congress should amend the provisions of laws used to authorize the NSA's bulk collection of Americans' phone data, which were enacted as part of the Patriot Act.
"The President has ordered some significant changes, but more are needed," Leahy said in a statement. "Section 215 must still be amended, legislatively, to ensure it is not used for dragnet surveillance in the future, and we must fight to create an effective, institutional advocate at the FISA [Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act] court. I will continue to push for meaningful legislative reforms to our surveillance laws."
Obama endorsed a number of changes involving the secret FISA Court, which is part of the judiciary and was established by the 1978 Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.
The president said he wanted the NSA, during a transition phase before its metadata stockpiling may end, to relinquish its sole authority to search the phone data for connections to suspected terrorists. Moving forward, "the database can be queried only after a judicial finding or in the case of a true emergency," Obama said, adding that he tasked Attorney General Eric Holder to work with the FISA Court to develop a new layer of oversight and approval.
He did not elaborate about the standards his top law enforcement official and the country's secret intelligence judges would set to permit the intelligence community to execute those searches through phone data.
In the past, NSA said that fewer than 24 intelligence officials possessed the authority to approve such queries.
The president also asked Congress to create a new panel of counsels with classified clearances to advocate for the public interest before the FISA Court, as a way to "offer additional advocacy and outside perspectives on significant issues," one senior administration official explained.

Q: Django ID of foreign key doesn't exist after migrating I'm new to Django, and I'm trying to create a "game" model with two attributes:

*

*A many-to-one field where multiple instances of the game model are associated with an instance of a custom user model.

*A many-to-many field where instances of the game model are connected with multiple instances of words, and instances of the word model are connected with multiple instances of the game model

Top of my models.py model:
from django.db import models
from users.models import CustomUser
from django.contrib.postgres.fields import ArrayField

Game model:
class SortingGame(models.Model):
    user_current_player = models.ForeignKey(CustomUser, on_delete=models.CASCADE, null=True, blank=True)
    field_words = models.ManyToManyField(Word, related_name="field_sorting_games")

Word model:
class Word(models.Model):
    str_word = models.CharField(max_length=50,null=True)
    int_grade_level = models.IntegerField()
    arrint_phonemes = ArrayField(models.CharField(max_length=50),null=True)
    arrstr_graphemes = ArrayField(models.CharField(max_length=50),null=True)
    int_num_syllables = models.IntegerField()
    arrstr_syllables = ArrayField(models.CharField(max_length=50),null=True)

User model:
class CustomUser(AbstractBaseUser):
    # must have the following fields for django
    email = models.EmailField(verbose_name="email",max_length = 100,unique=True)
    username = models.CharField(max_length = 30, unique = True)
    date_joined = models.DateTimeField(verbose_name = "date_joined",auto_now_add=True)
    last_login = models.DateTimeField(verbose_name = "last_login",auto_now = True)
    is_admin = models.BooleanField(default=False)
    is_superuser = models.BooleanField(default = False)
    is_staff = models.BooleanField(default = False)
    is_active = models.BooleanField(default = True)
    first_name = models.CharField(max_length=15, blank=True)
    last_name = models.CharField(max_length=30, blank=True)
    spelling_level = models.IntegerField(default=1, unique=False)
    time_played = models.IntegerField(default=0, unique=False)
    percent_correct = models.IntegerField(default=0, unique=False)

admin.py:
from django.contrib import admin
from .models import Word, SortingGame

admin.site.register(SortingGame)

When I run python3 manage.py makemigrations and python3 manage.py migrate, it doesn't complain, but when I go to the admin page of my django site it says psycopg2.errors.UndefinedColumn: column "user_current_player_id" of relation "game_sortinggame" does not exist.
This makes me think the issue is with user_current_player in SortingGame (it worked fine before I added that attribute), but I've looked around on different forums to see what might be going wrong and I can't seem to figure it out. I tried starting from scratch with a new database, and it's still throwing the same exception. Any ideas would be appreciated—thanks!

A: Nathan!
First thing would be make sure that you have the app where CustomUser model is created in your settings.py file, at INSTALLED_APPS.
If so, please have a look at this folder (app) where you have CustomUser defined to verify if there is in deed a migrations folder there.
I suspect that Django in not aware of this app (not under INSTALLED_APPS) and therefore did not migrated it. So, your database is not finding the User Model connection.
That said, I would suggested you to keep your account model as defined by Django User and create another model with a direct relationship to it to deal with profile/game fields such as spelling level, percentage_correct and so on.
This would keep your Model "concerns" more organized later on.

A: if you did make a migrations before try to use (python manage.py makemigrations -appname)
Also after That you need to Add the module in your admin.py
from django.contrib import admin
from .models import *

admin.site.register(SortingGame)
... all other modules

Shokugeki no Souma 4 – 05 – Vendetta Dolce
Even though the center of Megumi's dorayaki featured a surprise ingredient of ginger-infused apple confiture, a slight bitter aftertaste kept her from overcoming Momo's superior presentation, and she loses, though notably Anne votes for her, making it a 2-1 decision. Megumi's friends refuse to let her wallow in despair for long, thanking her for giving her all, and she wipes her tears away and cheers on the remaining rebels, who now must win to avoid a Central victory.
Frankly, the rebels couldn't ask for better chefs in these two positions, aside from Erina the God Tongue herself. Aldini's match with Eizan is next, and Aldini prepares pizza with rich, sweet beef shigureni. Eizan delivers one of his trademark face distortions upon revealing that his dish will be finished first, and contains artichokes. They contain cynarine, a compound that threatens to ruin the delicate sweetness of Aldini's dish by making it taste too sweet.
Eizan's roast beef with artichoke cream sauce is a hit, and as you can see above, it results in a very BDSM-esque foodgasm, with Eizan being likened to a magician creating delicious illusions from which the judges never want to escape. But when Aldini's pizza comes out of the oven, he pays Eizan's gloating no mind; he's still confident he'll win, because he took a page out of Mimasaka's playbook and traced Eizan. He knew he'd use artichokes, and so adjusted the flavors of his pizza to not only counteract his opponent's "cynarine bomb", but use it to his advantage.
Eizan ended up being played like a fiddle, with the flavors of his beef dish positioning it as a mere first dish, while the pizza is the second and third due to being split between shigureni on one side and an exquisite blend of four cheeses on t'other. There's even a symbolism in his dish, as the pie resembles two half-moons or mezzalunas. The judges are blown away and name Aldini the consensus winner, while Eizan makes another scary face and curses Aldini's growth. Now it's all up to Souma to salvage the bout for the rebels.

Koufuku Graffiti – 10
We were a little confused at first by the new face of Uchiki Yuki (Iguchi Yuka; or Index to Ryou's Railgun), but this was a beautiful episode about anxiety, loneliness, and the power of pizza to tackle both.
With Winter in its last throes but Spring yet to bloom (much like the weather where I am), Kirin is worried about a lot of things, from getting into high school to making friends there, to the state of the country's crops and the effect of environmental damage on the earth.
After a horror movie doesn't help Kirin's mood, Ryou remembers she left the futons out on the balcony, and that's when the two of them hear a depressing phone conversation from Ryou's shy, sad, lonely neighbor directly below them.
When one of Ryou's futons slips off the balcony, it takes Kirin with it, which turns out to be a fateful incident. Ryou was ready to stop eavesdropping and go inside, but Kirin's spill means they have no choice but to interact with Yuki, and vice-versa.
Because we're dealing with three uncommonly nice people, the earnest apologies fly where insults might infect the interactions of lesser humans. Ryou and Kirin both notice Yuki gets so stuck in her thoughts she creates and reacts outwardly to entire narratives she cooks up in there.
Kirin sees the same anxiety in Yuki that she herself is feeling, and that anxiety, while negative on its own, becomes a positive because it brings these two together. It also shows Yuki that if someone as bright and spunky as Kirin can feel the same things she can, she suddenly doesn't feel so alone.
A ring at the doorbell comes; it's a pizza delivery girl. And boy, this might just be the tastiest pizza I have ever seen animated. In fact, it is. But while she obviously doesn't skimp when it comes to quality, there's still a pointed sadness to Yuki's practicality: the pizza's toppings are split four ways so she won't get sick of it even if she eats it for all three meals—which she's been doing for three weeks.
Yuki offers the pizza to Ryou and Kirin for their trouble, but Ryou has a far better idea—an idea borne out of her experience sharing food with others, something she's still rather new to herself: she invites Yuki upstairs so they can eat the pizza together.
As if the pizza wasn't tasty-looking enough, Ryou and Kirin sweeten the deal with their usual poetic, over-the-top reactions to enjoying food, a display that Yuki finds both intriguing and uplifting.
Ryou insists Yuki have a slice herself, assuring her it will taste better if she eats with them. Yuki gives in, and sure enough, she has the same kind of experience we've come to expect from Ryou, Kirin, and Shiina. In fact, eating the pizza with them brings out a whole other side of her personality. She doesn't hold her tongue when it comes to describing the deliciousness.
The unexpectedly joyful evening, along with Ryou and Kirin's invitation for home-cooked meal in the future, infuses Yuki with a fresh courage and outlook on her situation, which she uses to bravely face an orientation the next day.
Meanwhile, Ryou learned that a very nice person lives close by whom she should hang out more with, and Kirin learned that as long as she has as a full stomach, she too can face whatever the future brings.
As for me, in all honesty I would have ordered a fancy pizza from a gourmet pizzeria nearby, but it's St. Patrick's Day and I've corned beef on the stove. Oh well; there's always tomorrow!

Tokyo Trip Journal 7
10 June, Heisei 22 (Thurs)
This morning heralded in a clear, warm, sunny, and absolutely perfect day to visit Tokyo's waterfront district, a reclaimed "Inner Harbor/Harbor East"-like area known as Odaiba. The ruby Uedo. line took me form Shinjuku to Shiodome, and then I only needed to hop on the Yurikamome monorail to take me across the part of Tokyo Bay to Odaiba. As I write this I am enjoying a Georgia Iced Latter (a Coca-Cola product) with the Rainbow Bridge across the bay from me, Tokyo Tower and Roppongi Hills visible behind it in the distance, the eccentric Fuji TV Building at my back, and, oddly enough, a third-scale but otherwise exact replica of the Statue of Liberty to the right.
Odaiba is also home to Toyota Mega Web, the largest Toyota auto salon in the country, but less stylish than the one in Ikebukuro. It is also home to a gallery of automotive history, containing some real gems I had not had a good look at in the flesh before (E-Type, De Lorean, Isetta, Spider, Mustang, Biarritz, etc., along with some notable specimens from Toyota's storied racing history. At least at the hour I was there, I was apparently the only one interested. From Aomi I dashed to the next station to get an up-close look at Tokyo Big Sight, described as either an upside-down version of the Pyramid building from Blade Runner, or your average convention center flipped upside down and suspended on stilts. It is an insane piece of architecture, very sci-fi. Btw, each monorail station has a unique color and pattern decoration derived from Japanese art and design history. What significance this holds alludes me at this time, but its still neat, and I appreciate the attention to detail, as always.
After sightseeing in Odaiba, I finished the Yurikamome monorail loop to get my 800 yen's worth, ending at Toyosu station on the Yurakucho line, which conveniently connected to Sakuradamon, on the side of the Imperial Palace grounds I hadn't been to yet. First I took a quick look at the National Diet building, a handsome structure combining elements of Japanese and Art Deco architecture.
The gardens and plazas surrounding the palace moat were gorgeous and impeccably tended. I wondered what life was like up there on the raised stone ramparts, and whether the Emporer ever walked along its perimeter, gazing out onto the modern city beyond his moat. I had to wonder, because you cannot see much; the main gate was firmly closed and under heavy guard, and the one of the only good views in, while picturesque, still didn't allow visual access to the palace residences themselves. No biggie though, it was cool just to get as close as I did.
Hungry, i went east to the modern city to find a place for lunch. I found one in "Banri", another no-nonsense value-for-money place, where I stuffed myself on a miso-like stew with cured pork, mushrooms, bok choy, bamboo shoots and scallions, with excellent pork fried rice on the side. Portions at these restaurants tend to be huge, and people typically eat quite fast. I take my time cleaning my plate, again so as not to offend. Ometachi station was right next door, so I took the now very familiar red Marunouchi line to Shinjuku, where I decided to satisfy my curiosity regarding the "Toto Super Space" on the 27th floor of the Shinjuku L-Tower. The fixtures on display were quite slick…and expensive.
After a brief rest in my room and a shower, I head somewhere I haven't been before – Ebisu – on the Hibiya line. Ebisu is apparently a diner's haven; as soon as I emerged from the station I was assaulted by hundreds of places to eat. Choosing where to eat when there are so many good choices can be excrutiating, but I bit the bullet and chose somewhere. I'd eaten Japanese-style food essentially every night I was here, so I decided to switch it up and try out an Italian place called Palermo. They made a mean Margherita pizza.

Q: Refreshing a view controller class inside a notification centre i am using notification centre with tabbar controller and navigation controller .In first page i am not using both tabbar and navigation bar.In home page my global value null.but after went through tabbar classes the value wil be changed.but it did not happend in homepage which means not refreshing the global value in that page(using notification centre).is there any way to refresh that particular home page?

A: If the homepage is part of the navigation hierarchy you could use methods from the navigation controller to get a reference to it. If that's not the case you could also use the App Delegate by keeping a reference to the home page and then accessing it like this SO Post suggests


JAC furnishes a set of programming concepts that allows the user to implement the dependency inversion in a clean way.
Let us imagine that, in the application, we do not want the value field to be negative. This is a constraint that will also be applicable to all the other classes of the application since, in this business, we don't want to see negative values.
Thus, the test that will be added to check that the value is never negative will crosscut all the business classes and pollute the code that will be harder to read an maintain. Moreover, in an application where the constraint is different or where there is no constraints at all, my business classes will be harder to re-use as is.
Of course it is more complex than adding a simple line of test but in the long term and for real complex applications the benefits are huge.
line 7: the actual test. Within a wrapper, we have access to the interaction-related information (or joinpoint). Here, we know that i.args is the parameter of the method that is associated to the interaction and that i.wrappee is the calcul object. So we can test them and throw an exception if the value field is negative.
line 9: the test failed, so we can run the sub method. proceed is a special method of wrappers that allows the programmer to ask for the realization of the current joinpoint (continue the interaction).
that you'll enjoy them and find them useful!

Psychedelics Linked to Lower Risk of Mental Illness
by Psychedelic Frontier on Aug 28, 2013 3 Comments
It seems that all the best news about psychedelics lately is coming from scientists. You know, those people whose job it is to discover the truth even if it flies in the face of cultural and legal prejudices? Turns out the truth about psychedelics is not so convenient for those who insist on banning them.
In a new study, a Norwegian neuroscience team has found that use of psychedelic drugs is not associated with increased risk of mental health problems. In fact, psychedelic users were shown to have a lower risk of mental health issues, including psychosis, anxiety, mood disorders, social phobia, PTSD, and others. More specifically, people who used psilocybin, mescaline, or LSD throughout their lives, or LSD within the past year, were shown to have lower rates of psychological distress, outpatient mental health treatment, and psychiatric medications.
This doesn't mean that psychedelic trips never cause mental problems. "We cannot exclude the possibility that use of psychedelics might have a negative effect on mental health for some individuals or groups, perhaps counterbalanced at a population level by a positive effect on mental health in others," the researchers write. But on balance, the study shows that people are unlikely to suffer lasting mental health issues due to psychedelic use.
The authors, Teri Krebs and Pål-Ørjan Johansen from the Department of Neuroscience at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, used data on more than 130,000 Americans sourced from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health in their study. The full text is available at PLOS One for free.
Dr. Krebs and Dr. Johansen are not new to psychedelic research. Last year, they published a meta-analysis demonstrating clear and consistent effectiveness of LSD as a treatment for alcoholism. And in April of this year, their analysis of survey data concluded that Americans use of psychedelics is just as prevalent now as it was in the 1960s. In that study they estimated that 32 million Americans have tried a psychedelic at some point in their lives. That's one in every ten people! (What are the other nine doing?)
"People often report mystical experiences as a major reason for using psychedelics," Krebs and Johansen said. "Archaeological evidence shows that psychedelic plants have been used in the Americas for over 5000 years, and currently around 300,000 people in the US enjoy a recognized religious freedom right to use psychedelics."
If the stigma of psychedelics making people crazy is not supported by statistical evidence, where did it come from? Mostly anecdotes, say the researchers. "Early speculation that psychedelics might lead to mental health problems was based on a small number of case reports and did not take into account either the widespread use of psychedelics or the not infrequent rate of mental health problems in the general population," Krebs explains.
She concludes, "Over the past 50 years tens of millions of people have used psychedelics and there just is not much evidence of long-term problems."

I tried to make my website xml-valid so that it can be loaded as xml by browsers that accept it (currently firefox3, chrome & opera) and be parsed faster.
Moreover, I simply wanted my website to be w3c valid with an XHTML header.
Problems come when you have urls with arguments in your page. Validation fails upon '&' variable separator.
At first, what I did was simply to htmlencode the separator, replacing '&' with '&'. It works fine regarding content validation, but breaks down server-side code as '&' is not treated as the separator by php if raw url is directly pasted into the browser (note that normally all browsers automatically decode '&' so that when user click on the link, page is correctly served => error explained below should almost never occur).
Personally I find it pretty annoying having to encode '&' into '&' each time an url gets generated, and I also don't like the idea of being dependent upon the browser for it to automatically decode '&' when it is used as a link.
A much cleaner solution is to change default var aggregator character to an xml-compliant one that can be urlencoded too (so that values of your query variables won't interfere with it).
In php, you simply need to modify php.ini, and change 'arg_separator.input' value from '&' to ';' (don't forget to restart you server for changes to be applied).
Be aware not to use a multi-character separator as each character will be treated as a separator per see.
open it, simply locate line with 'arg_separator.input' and uncomment it by removing ';' char at beginning of the line.
If you implement this solution, keep in mind that it might NOT be an optimal choice for search-engine optimization. They might expect you to use standard '&' character so that they can parse your request uri to index it better.
In my case, this did not come into consideration because my website is almost entirely private (identification required) => useless for search-engines.

Moulay Idriss Mausoleum
The Mausoleum of Moulay Idriss is Morocco's most important pilgrimage site. The entrance is located at the top of the town's main square, via a three-arched gateway surrounded by shops selling religious trinkets – non-Muslims cannot enter beyond the inner barrier, but it's worth a peek inside the grand entrance.
Moulay Ismail created this pilgrimage site by building the mausoleum during the late 17th and early 18th centuries in a successful attempt to rally the support of the faithful.

MicroRNAs: Critical regulators of development, cellular physiology and malignancy
Joshua T. Mendell
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are 18-24 nucleotide RNA molecules that regulate the stability or translational efficiency of target mRNAs. These regulatory RNAs function by acting as sequence-specific guides which recruit a large protein complex known as the RNA-induced silencing complex, or RISC, to target mRNAs which are subsequently silenced. Diverse functions have been attributed to miRNAs including the regulation of cellular differentiation, proliferation, and apoptosis. Moreover, significant evidence has accumulated implicating a fundamental role for miRNAs in the development of cancer. We recently demonstrated that the oncogenic transcription factor c-Myc regulates a group of miRNAs known as the mir-17 cluster. This represents the first documented example of a mammalian transcription factor that regulates miRNA expression. Moreover, it was independently demonstrated that the mir-17 cluster accelerates c-Myc-induced lymphoma-genesis in an in vivo mouse model. Together, these studies support an important role for this group of miRNAs in c-Myc-mediated tumorigenesis. We have also demonstrated that two miRNAs in this cluster regulate the pro-proliferative, pro-apoptotic transcription factor E2F1. Herein, we propose a model in which the mir-17 cluster prevents excessive E2F1 activity, and thereby apoptosis, in response to activation of c-Myc.

After spending some time in London, I got back to Berlin and was doing some electronics prototyping. Thinking about what the "hello world" of full-stack IoT might look like. Including sensing on an embedded device, connecting via MQTT and then visualising on a web application.
Learnt some interesting stuff about MQTT 3.1 such as it now supporting access over WebSockets. This makes it easy to write an app completely in the browser (no server-side component) to talk directly over a browser.

Republican Leadership Prepares to Ram Massive Education Bill Through Congress
Just a few weeks ago, Speaker Ryan promised not to ram through thousand-page bills without allowing realistic public analysis and input. But with the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), which would reauthorize the failed No Child Left Behind, Speaker Ryan is already breaking his promise. The House and Senate bills that resulted in the ESSA "compromise" were rushed through those chambers with little allowance for public input. Then, a hastily appointed conference committee rushed through its rubber-stamping in a matter of hours. Now ESSA is being put to a House vote — only two days after the 1,061-page bill that
Common Core Killed These GOP Candidates
I recently gave The Hill some insight into the politics of Common Core: Republican governors struggling in the GOP presidential contest are weighed down by their failure to fully rebuke Common Core education standards, according to the conservative think tank American Principles Project (APP). Common Core, the set of education standards that were adopted by 46 states five years ago but have since become toxic with the conservative base, has not been at the center of the Republican primary debate, which has so far been dominated by national security and immigration. However, APP and its education director Emmett McGroarty argue that
Are Minorities Hurt the Most by Common Core?
This post was co-authored by Jane Robbins, an attorney and senior fellow at the American Principles Project. Proponents of the Common Core national standards have claimed from the beginning that a major goal of the initiative is to reduce the "achievement gap" between white and minority students. Common Core test scores in California and New York suggest that the opposite is occurring. And now we have confirmation from what could be called the premier Common Core state in the country – Kentucky. Prompted by an education establishment enamored of the progressive theories underlying Common Core (as well as by federal Race to
Dear Speaker Ryan: It's Time to End 'No Child Left Behind'
This post was co-authored by Jane Robbins, an attorney and senior fellow at the American Principles Project. To no one's surprise, political elites have apparently crafted a bill (behind closed doors in the dead of night) to reauthorize the despised No Child Left Behind (NCLB) statute. Business as usual – working, everyday Americans are quietly ignored while the powerful education establishment and its elitist allies get their way. But new House Speaker Paul Ryan could alter this trajectory. He has expressed unwillingness to send President Obama legislation that he can use for mischief. Education legislation should fall squarely into that
Can Rubio Be Trusted on Common Core?
Breitbart's Dr. Susan Berry has rightly raised the alarm about Sen. Marco Rubio's presidential candidacy. His statements and actions on education invite concern and doubt. Rubio speaks about America having to prepare children for the "global economy" and thereby parrots Common Core talking points. He talks about the wonders of vocational education without really saying what he means by that. He ambiguously declares, "There is no reason for the federal government to be involved in K-12 education through Common Core." Does Rubio recognize the qualitative defects in the Common Core? In particular, when he speaks about vocational education, is he
Did Voters Just Kill the Common Core?
Common Core is in a death-spiral. Weekly, it seems, we hear of yet another blow to the system. Test scores are down. States are jumping out of the federally created testing. Parents, teachers, and students loathe the tests. The mainstream media refuses to report on the quality of the Common Core, but people are figuring it out anyway: The Common Core locks children into a dumbed-down education. But even in the midst of all that, the news out of Kentucky stands out as a death omen for Common Core — and perhaps for centralized education policy altogether. Common Core opponent
Admit It: Common Core Is Lowering Students' Academic Achievement
The country is in the midst of an education crash. The 2015 SAT scores were the lowest in a decade. And the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), which tests 4th and 8th graders in math and reading, saw scores drop for both grades in math and 8th grade reading, while 4th grade reading scores were flat. Yet, politicians do not want to face reality. Instead, they want to believe what the mainstream media and the Common Core proponents tell them—everything is fine. They want to believe that the opposition to the national Common Core standards comes from the extreme
Fiorina: Get the Feds Out of Your Child's Education
Most of the Republican presidential candidates at least pay lip service to the idea of local control over education. Some even call for abolishing the U.S. Department of Education (USED). But what do these positions really mean? Does "local control" extend to standards and testing (the federal government's big stick), or should the federal government ride herd over those aspects of education? Would abolishing USED accomplish anything other than rolling its responsibilities over to a different agency (such as the Department of Labor, given the workforce-development mania in the national education establishment)? At last weekend's Practical Federalism forum in New

Don't Stop The Maine Now – Part 2!
So yesterday, you were all able to see PART 1 of our hilarious interview with The Maine's bassist Garrett Nickelsen and lead guitarist Jared Monaco. But due to a long interview, you're all able to check out the rest of our funny chat with the lads in PART 2 below!
– Have you ever asked for something ridiculous on your tour rider?
Jared: In the states, when we were doing a radio campaign for a little while – each time when you go to a radio station, you have a different rider than you would for most of your shows – and we decided to make it as ridiculous as we could.
Garrett: I don't remember exactly… Oh, it was something like one and a half cigarettes.
Jared: Yeah, one and a half cigarettes, a baby-sized business suit and a collection of nice things.
– Did you get them?
Jared: Yeah! I mean they didn't get us the baby-sized business suit, but they gave us a box full of stuff – so it had movies in it and candy, it was literally a box of nice things.
Garrett: Did we ever get the cigarettes?
Jared: I think we did, (laughing) the second one was literally broken in half.
– So you're making new music soon, what can we expect or are you keeping it close to heart?
Garrett: No, I mean, there's going to be guitars, there's going to be some drums, I'll probably play some bass. John will sing and there will be a record.
Jared: We've been working on stuff a while, I mean we've been writing and we now have a lot of material ready. I can definitely say that it's not going to be a dark and more sombre rock record like the last one, it will be… well I don't know yet, I don't want to say anything yet, but we do have a lot of stuff written and we're going to possibly write some more.
Garrett: I think it's not going to be what people expect, which is a good thing.
– Any idea of when we can expect it?
Garrett: (laughing) December… twenty, not then. No… not until next year.
Jared: Unless… I don't know, we could die. We hope not!
Garrett: That could happen! Or we could get in the studio and be like "F*ck! How do you work this stuff?"
Jared: And never get anything done, but yeah, I think we're shooting for earlier next year but we don't know yet, we need to record first.
– Is there any advice or motto that you live by?
Garrett: Make sure you go to bed.
Jared: Okay.
Garrett: What was that one now…
Jared: Don't listen to anybody… I like that.
Garrett: Uhhh… Don't let anybody tell you that you're doing it wrong cause you're not, say "f*ck that"…
Jared: I'm doing…
Garrett: What's the quote? Scratch that! Go the bed, that's the one.
– If you could be any animal, which animal would you be?
Garrett: Duck-billed Platypus.
Jared: I'd be a T-Rex.
Garrett: That's a dinosaur!
Jared: It's an animal still!
– But you'd be extinct?
Jared: Yeah, but at least I'd be sleeping peacefully.
Garrett: No, you'd be oil.
Jared: I'd be oil? Oh… okay, I pick… a woolly mammoth, wait they're extinct too…
Garrett: You should have gone to the museum! There were tons of animals!
Jared: Okay, well I want to fly so I'd be an eagle.
– If you were to take the Queen on a date, where would you take her?
Garrett: In-n-Out.
Jared: I'd take her to a Marilyn Manson show.
Garrett: Oh… F*ck yeah! I'd take her to a Marilyn Manson show.
– Watch her in the mosh-pit?
Jared: Yeah and I'd help lift her to go crowd surfing!
Garrett: I'd take her to a haunted house and then she'll hold on to me!
Jared: You're not supposed to scare the Queen though!
Garrett: I don't care!
– If you could be any instrument, which would you be and why?
Garrett: Tuba!
Jared: That would be awesome.
Garrett: Cause nobody wants to play Tuba.
Jared: But then you'd have everybody's mouth on you all the time.
Garrett: (laughing) sounds good!
Jared: (laughing) I would be… a saxophone.
Garrett: Sexy Sax!
Jared: Yeah!
Garrett: F*ck yeah!
So there you have it!

On October 7th, the O2 Academy in Birmingham was packed with ecstatic fans, waiting to see two separate shows! But while a bunch of highly dedicated fans were stuck outside in the midst of all the anarchy – Our Brumoters were having a lovely chat with The Maine's lead guitarist Jared Monaco and bassist Garrett Nickelsen!
Make sure to check out the band's track 'Forever Halloween' in the video underneath the hilarious interview!
– So for those who don't know you guys, what makes The Maine, The Maine?
Garrett: We are five boys from Phoenix, Arizona and we like to play rock'n'roll.
Jared: That's… I couldn't do a better job.
Garrett: Thanks man.
– Can you describe your sound in three words?
Garrett: I just did, rock'n'roll.
Jared: But we can pick something else.
Garrett: Wait, I've got it. Rock…
Jared: Is…
Garrett: (laughing) Roll.
Jared: (laughing) Rock is roll.
– So you've been to the UK 9 times so far, what makes you keep coming back?
Garrett: It… seems like people like us here, like just a little amount of people.
Jared: Yeah, enough people to play a show in most cities.
Garrett: So that's been cool.
Jared: We've been lucky enough to come back on a couple of support tours too, you know? We've been on the All Time Low tour, Deaf Havana tour and they do kind of help strengthen our fanbase over here so we've had these support tours, which have been great and it's allowed us to come back and headline. It just made sense as we had some time at the end of this year and we wanted to make sure we showed our faces again.
Garrett: And we got to bring our buddies Lydia and Nick Santino over and we kind of made it like a family thing and they all seem to be excited so it works.
– Speaking about people you've toured with, who would you say were your favourite's and why?
Garrett: I feel like one of the first tours we did, with Good Charlotte. They were great guys and I feel like we learned so much from them, just like from a live show and how to be on tour and how to treat people on tour. I feel like… just learning wise, that was a big one.
Jared: I really like when we toured with Taking Back Sunday, they were some of the coolest dudes ever. They were one of those bands where growing up, they were one of the reasons that I started playing local shows and to meet those people – especially Good Charlotte too – it's good to meet those people and see that they're awesome too and you can learn something from a band like that, who have been around for so long, so it was nice to be friends and learn so much from those guys.
– Was it a very surreal experience?
Jared: Yes, definitely. I mean, when we got the news that we were going to be on [Taking Back Sunday's] tour], I think that was kind of the really surreal part and once we got ready really focusing on the tour, more so about business, getting out there and being ready for it. But it was definitely surreal.
– What are your favourite tracks to play live?
Jared: It's always the newest songs that we're playing live, at least for me. Right now we're playing a song that is on the B-Side of our new record Forever Halloween, which is called Vanilla and that one has been really fun to play, it's kind of fresh so…
Garrett: Yeah, that one's been really fun. I'm going to agree with that.
– What has been your most memorable career highlight so far?
Garrett: (Laughing) I was going to make a joke… I don't know, probably the whole Pioneer thing. That whole record process… it was f*cked up, but it was cool and just us being able to grow in that kind of way, it made us realise that we could actually be a band.
Jared: We had to fight out way off a record label so that was a whole situation for us.
Garrett: I mean, that aside, just the recording of it. Doing it ourselves and that whole thing was really awesome and proved to me that if we were put in that situation that we could handle it.
– While on the subject of memorable experiences, have you guys had any interesting fan experiences?
Garrett: Everything's been pretty much awesome.
Jared: A guy said he was going to kill me in Amsterdam because I was American.
Garrett: Yeah.
Jared: And he got in my face and it got really bad. I really thought we were going to have to fight this guy. That was the day that we got there, before our show we were walking around downtown and we stopped for coffee and this guy just came up and started giving us all death threats cause he hated Americans so much… (laughing) and we were all wearing denim, so we all looked like cowboys… on this tour that was definitely the most stand out moment and I was like holy sh*t, hatred is still a thing in parts of the world, it was crazy.
Garrett: For me the best part was when I was playing with my buddy Jared over here on Madden and I beat him by one point.
Jared: Yeah, we set up the Xbox and started playing football on it… or I should say 'American Football.' Oh and I fell over and knocked over-
Garrett: Oh yeah, that was fun.
Jared: I was on stage the other night and our guitar tech Adam was kneeling down behind me as he was fixing some stuff and I didn't see him. So I backed up, fell over him and I took out the whole wall that was behind me and I ended up on my back… I've never done that before, I mean you've taken a couple of spills.
Garrett: Yeah, I've puked on stage and knocked stuff over.
Jared: Well that was my very first experience belly up, so… it was pretty fun.
So that's all for PART 1 of our interview with Garrett and Jared from The Maine!
Make sure to check out PART 2 TOMORROW!
Where the lads will be discussing baby-sized business suits, new music and going to bed!

Don't give up on The Maine!
Last night, The Maine returned to the UK and impressed their highly dedicated fans at their show at the O2 Academy2 in Birmingham with an incredible performance!
The American band from Arizona came to Birmingham as part of the UK leg of the 8123 tour and two of our Brumoters got the chance to catch up with The Maine's bassist Garrett Nickelsen and lead guitarist Jared Monaco, the interview for which will be available on October 13th!
The group consisting of Pat Kirch, Kennedy Brock, John O'Callaghan, Jared Monaco and Garrett Nickelsen (Left to Right) entertained all the fans that had packed themselves into the venue, with a range of old and new tracks, including 'Misery' and 'Kiss and Sell.'
But before the lads graced the stage with their amazing performance, Nick Santino (ex-frontman for A Rocket to the Moon) and Lydia wowed the crowd with their support sets.
Although it was his first ever tour in the UK, Nick Santino had no nerves seeming to hold him back as his incredible stage presence held the audience's attention throughout the entirety of his acoustic performance.
Lydia took the stage next, bringing with them an unbelievable amount of energy that left the crowd wanting more as they made sure to sing the lyrics back to the ecstatic group.
Then came the moment everybody had been waiting for, The Maine finally took to the stage causing the venue to erupt into cheers, obviously excited to see the lads pop across the pond once again as they broke out into a number of old and new tracks.
The lads' energetic set featured a number of fan favourites and the only time the group slowed down was to interact and chat to their ecstatic and loud fans (though many 'accent' issues arose, like when lead singer John O'Callaghan mistook the words "Pretty Good" as "Grand Canyon" when speaking about their home state).
The highly talented band made sure to perform their hearts out and ensured that all those attending the event were thoroughly entertained, which rang true when the lads began to discuss a potential album release next year!
The Maine rounded off their incredible performance with a track from their first studio album in 2008: 'We'll All Be', for which, both Nick Santino and Lydia graced the stage once again to help The Maine out and end the show with a bang!
We definitely recommend going to see The Maine live as they have the talent and an impressive setlist, which should have another few hits joining in as the lads are set to hit the recording studio next month! We have no doubts, that like they did last night, the group will keep you thoroughly entertained and leave you wanting more!
Brumotions give their performance 5/5 Microphones!

Kingsland Road are Dirty Dancing into our hearts!
Kingsland Road impressed their dedicated fans at their SOLD OUT show at the O2 Academy in Birmingham last night with a jam packed, energetic performance!
The East London formed group came to Birmingham as part of their debut tour across the UK.
The group consisting of Matt, Connor, Josh, Jay and Thompson entertained both the old and new K-Landers with a range of songs, including the one's that are set to feature on their EP, which will be released August 10th!

Then Canary Swing took to the stage, bringing an incredible amount of energy and talent with them that left the crowd wanting more, before rapper Jessica Alice took to the stage with an equal and amazing amount of stage presence to those before her.
Then came the moment everyone had been waiting for, Kingsland Road ran onto the stage and performed 'Walk Away', a track set to appear on their EP, which their highly dedicated fans had already learnt the lyrics to and proceeded to shout them back to the ecstatic lads.
The boys incredible set featured tracks for both the old and new fans, including a small, hilarious performance of 'My Dog' for the older fans and a cover of Ellie Goulding's 'Burn', which was posted to their YouTube channel in February.
The group, more popularly known for appearing on the tenth series of The X Factor, had the packed venue singing and dancing along throughout their entire performance, ensuring that everyone was thoroughly entertained!
Kingsland Road rounded off their incredible performance with their debut single 'Dirty Dancer', which is another track to feature on the groups debut EP!
We definitely recommend going to see Kingsland Road live as they have the talent (both singing and dancing) and an impressive setlist, which is without a doubt, going to take them far. We have no doubts, that – like they did last night – the group will keep you thoroughly entertained and leave you wanting more!

The group, consisting of Chris, Tyler, Danny and Cameron (Left to Right) made sure to keep the energetic crowd entertained and wanting more with a range of songs from their EP: 'Anywhere', including 'Good Time Girl' and 'Not Another Song About Love'.
The impressive set also contained a number of hilarious sections where the band and the crowd laughed along with one another – like when the lads spoke to 'god' who was watching the show from above to hear the boys perform their 'Grocery Store Rap'.
Although the group entertained and impressed with their relentless energy and catchy tunes, attendees were stood waiting for an hour for the first support act to arrive – though it is speculated that another support act skipped out on the show.

From the beginning, the core of the Occupy movement has been the same distributed network of small protest groups that have together for a decade now to disrupt global summits and party conventions. Whether or not they see technology as their primary means of organizing, technology is utterly crucial in the way their whole model works — keeping connected without the benefit (or detriment, as the case may be) of a central authority.
To this assessment, I'd add something else: They create new rules for how committed people get and stay connected with one another, and how those connections get classified, even in their own minds. After all, it's not hard to imagine that, when faced with a questionnaire asking to list their closest friends or associates, these activists would list one another, rather than their family or the people they drink with in their own hometowns.
Activists may need "strong ties" to risk their lives in the streets, but it's clear those ties can stretch across continents, and can consist entirely of bits — right up until the moment when they come together.


$6 Millon dollars of federal government funds to be committed to Malvern's new cancer centre at Cabrini Health.
The Cabrini Monash University Department of Surgery and Research (CMUDS) are gearing up to make some new changes with the federal government committing $6 million towards the new cancer centre at Cabrini Health in Malvern.
The Research institute itself will receive $3 Million of that to advance translational cancer research and deliver better health outcomes.
Bowel cancer is the third most common cancer, behind breast and prostate and a staggering 17,004 cases were reported last year.
Currently the research team at Cabrini Monash University Department of Surgery are honing their skills and knowledge to develop better ways to personalize treatment to create overall better patient outcomes. These research projects focus on surgical techniques, medicinal treatment and analysis of patient outcomes.


Accurate depth sensors for surveying and underwater operations, for stand alone use or combined with GPS positioning system. The DS- series sensors are ideal to use together with Inspecam cameras and Control Box GA for indication of the depth / pressure on the screen.
Measuring of the dissolved oxygen on the display, as overlay text on the image. Can be used with Inspecam PT/HD/DW/Diver series cameras.
Optical sensors have provided a much more stable measurement, but many types on the market are still slow to respond and require regular calibration due to degradation of the lumiphore material.
