[March 25, 2019] A moment of honestly. Mentally fragile people often do not succeed in business or in life. Although there are a plethora of factors which determine our state of mind, there are also learned behaviors which can help us mentally toughen up. Here are 13 examples of exactly what a mentally tough person wouldn't do.
As is so often said, change is inevitable. If you accept this, then you can prepare and embrace it. Only then can you truly thrive.
This point is not just about power in a traditional sense. Of course, in your company, your boss has power over your tasks, but what nobody can ever have power over is the way you think and the way you feel. Never allow someone else to dictate these elements: this is your personal power.
Mentally strong individuals fight injustice where they see it, and speak up when they feel the time is right. Don't be a wallflower, speak your mind freely and frequently.
This is related to the previous point. You cannot change what has happened, but you still have authority over the way you feel about it and your reaction. Wasting your time and energy feeling sorry for yourself is the epitome of folly, and mentally strong individuals simply don't do it.
There are things that you have power and influence over, such as your own actions. There are other things which you have no control over, such as the weather. The sooner you accept that, the better it will be for you.
The past is that past. Accept it, learn from it, and move on. Nothing good can come from lamenting what has already happened.
But do learn from your mistakes. This is the only way in which dwelling on the past can actually be productive.
It's not about being heartless, it is about accepting that, under no circumstances, can you make everybody happy all of the time. It's about making yourself and those you respect happy first and foremost, and follow this rule of thumb will make more people happy than not.
No successful person, ever, was afraid of taking a risk here and there. Playing it safe will ultimately never take you to where you really want to be. You win some, and you lose some, but if a risk is calculated and prepared for, it really isn't a risk at all.
"As soon as you begin overthinking, the risks pile up and the reasons why you shouldn't soon begin to outweigh the reasons why you should; no successful person ever behaved this way," warns Janet Torrento, a lifestyle writer at Draft beyond and Research papers UK.
Whether they may be successful, and you hate it, or they are unsuccessful, and you feel sorry for them, it's not about other people. It's about you, and your journey. Focusing on others is a waste of time.
"Alone time can be the most productive time available to any individual; successful and strong individuals recognize this, and use it immaculately to their advantage," enthuses Thomas G. Franks, a productivity blogger at Last minute writing and Writinity.

Hi Jayme. I liked your article. Thanks.
I laughed to myself when I read your blog post today, Jayme. The piece of advice to 'don't make the same mistake over and over' is one I think we all do. I think it was Albert Einstein that said something to the effect that if you keep doing something over and over, yet expect different results, that is the definition of insanity.
The "definition of insanity" quote first appeared in 1981, in a document published by Narcotics Anonymous. It was a sort of guide book for addicts who trying to overcome their disease, and it warned its readers that, "insanity is repeating the same mistakes and expecting different results." This applies to everything we do.
"Don't be afraid of change" is a hard one for most people. In fact, most folks will do just about anything to prevent change. Often we don't even know we're doing it. Change is scary. We don't like the unknown. Thanks Jayme for your article.
Very nice article – informative! Thanks.
Yes, I agree. Always best to see things from another perspective.

***WHY WE ALL HAVE BUNDLES OF BIASES
Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from David Weiner
Oliver Sacks, neurologist and best selling author tells the story of one of his patients, who was struck by lightening. After he recovered, he found himself craving the music of Chopin. Prior to the accident, his music interest was limited to rock. Soon he learned to play the piano, focusing on the music of Chopin. Then he began to write music in the style of Chopin, and within a short time, he was actually giving concerts. The point of this story and dozens like it in the fields of neurology and pschyiatry reaffirm the findings by neuroscientists that our minds are hard wired into our brains. Our minds, in other words, are not formed from some ehtheral soul force, but operate with circuits that emulate our smartphones. The good news about this is that if our irrational thoughts and actions that are causing discomfort to ourselves and others are hard wired, then the possibility exists that we can fix them, hopefully short of being struck by lightening. Brain scientists have found that the brain is more plastic and fixable than was previously thought.

A mature low pressure system is expected to impact our region in the January 23-24 period. Right now it looks like rain and wind for New Jersey.
There is a lot of room for trending through the weekend. I'm currently real skeptical of the upper-level and surface low displacement. With so much uncertainty, surface solutions should vary over the next few days. Regardless, at least some level of impact is supported by dynamics at all layers. Again, right now it looks like a rain and wind event.

The Screening Protest Project (tele)visual narratives of dissent across time, space and genre
The project compares protest narratives on television in different places, periods and genres. The differences help us understand change in two intersecting realms - that of politics under globalization, and that of the rapidly evolving media landscape in which that politics is played out. Based in media studies, the research project integrates political science, visual and cultural studies in its analysis of representation across still and moving images, on television, in film and photography and in digital media.

Philip Moriarty
St Macartan's Secondary School, Monaghan, Ireland (1980-1985); Dublin City University (1985-1993)
BSc, PhD
Following my PhD at Dublin City University, I was a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Nottingham (1994-1997). Then a lecturer at Nottingham. Then a Reader at Nottingham. And then, since 2005, a professor. At, errmm, Nottingham.
Current Job
Favourite thing to do in my job: In science? Push atoms around, one at a time, to make structures no-one has ever seen before.
My Work: We're aiming to do 3D printing with atoms.
I'm a Professor of Physics at the University of Nottingham. Alongside teaching undergraduates, I manage a research group which focuses on imaging and controlling not only individual atoms and molecules, but single chemical bonds. You can find out about the research we do by taking a look at these videos, from the Sixty Symbols YouTube channel:
Sixty Symbols is just one of a number of science- and maths-dedicated channels from the talented and prolific video-maker, Brady Haran). Working with Brady has allowed me to connect with lots of people who share my interest in physics (and science in general).
I also blog quite a bit for the Institute of Physics' physicsfocus project on a variety of topics.
Although I don't share my infamous namesake's fascination with the binomial theorem, in my spare time I enjoy exploring the relationships between mathematics/physics and music.
My Typical Day: There isn't a typical day!
Every year I visit my children's primary school to give a talk on what it's like to be a scientist. Here's a list of some of the things I tell them I do:
Write. A lot. Papers, reports, books, blog posts, articles…
Give lectures and talks.
Do experiments.
Analyse the results of experiments.
Supervise PhD students and postdoctoral researchers.
Travel. (I'm writing this "I'm A Scientist…" profile from a hotel room in Prague.)
Invent (and sometimes build) things.
Apply for funding. (Lots of time spent on this.)
Make videos.
Write blog posts and articles.
Set and mark exams. Mark coursework.
And, most importantly,…
Try to understand how Nature works.
Play. (This is essential for scientific research).
What I'd do with the prize money: Put the money towards funding the development of a computer game based on our research (MekNano) or a video for a physics-inspired rock song.
My colleagues and I have recently submitted a grant application to fund our research to develop three-dimensional atom positioning techniques. (There's more information in this recent blog post (although some of it is quite technical)). As part of what's called the "impact" component of that application, we have proposed to develop a computer game based on the research we're developing.
This game has the working title MekNano. The idea is that the player builds structures an atom at a time using different probes (just like we do in the lab). Importantly, the atoms can only be put together in ways that are true to the real-life quantum physics and chemistry. The player won't need to know about quantum physics to play the game (!) but MekNano will use quantum physics and chemistry in its gameplay.
We're also thinking about a 'soundtrack' for the game. This would involve a mixture of physics, chemistry, maths, and metal, a little like we did previously for the video below (but with more physics- and chemistry-inspired content).
My Interview
How would you describe yourself in 3 words?
Too. Much. Coffee.
What or who inspired you to follow your career?
My uncle was a radio amateur (radio 'ham'). When I was eight or nine, he and I used to built electronic circuits on a piece of wood, using drawing pins to hold the components in place. We built a crystal radio — a radio that doesn't need a battery (or, apparently, any source of power) to work. Hearing a radio station "out of the aether" from a circuit I built was a key moment of inspiration for me.
Were you ever in trouble at school?
Yes, quite a bit. Generally in Religion class. I was an atheist at a Catholic school (which had previously been a seminary). Not a match made in heaven…
If you weren't doing this job, what would you choose instead?
Sound engineer or a (very bad) musician.
Who is your favourite singer or band?
What's your favourite food?
Curry. Madras.
What is the most fun thing you've done?
Just *one* choice? That's tough… On the science/teaching side one of the most fun things I do is a ferrofluid (magnetic liquid) demonstration for primary schools. Watching a class of Year 1 kids all go "wow" when the ferrofluid jumps out of a beaker because its attracted to a magnet held above…that's a lot of fun.
Tell us a joke.
Did you hear about the girl who got cooled to absolute zero? She's OK now. [Ouch. Sorry.]

Delhi records highest one-day rain for August in 13 years; traffic snarls as roads waterlogged
An orange alert has issued for Delhi after heavy rain pounded on Saturday morning. According to IMD, Delhi recorded 139 mm rainfall, the highest one-day rain for August in at least 13 years
Published: 22 Aug 2021, 12:53 PM
An orange alert has been issued for Delhi after heavy rain pounded the city on Saturday morning. According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), the national capital recorded 139 mm rainfall, the highest one-day rain for August in at least 13 years.
On Saturday morning, heavy rainfall brought Delhi and the National Capital Region (NCR) to a standstill with severe waterlogging in several places. In many areas of Delhi and NCR, the vehicular movement was slow due to waterlogging.
Accordingly, the IMD has placed Delhi, Haryana. Chandigarh, Punjab and West Uttar Pradesh under an orange alert for Saturday, urging residents to 'be prepared' for adverse weather conditions. The weather forecasting agency has predicted light to moderate rainfall and thundershowers till August 23 in the national capital.
The rainfall, which began in the wee hours of Saturday, brought the temperature down to 27 degrees Celsius in Delhi-NCR. Delhi's air quality also improved considerably due to rainfall, with an average Air quality index (AQI) of below 50.
However, the incessant downpour has spelled trouble for traffic in the national capital, as many prominent roads and intersections are waterlogged.
From June 1 to August 21, seasonal rainfall accumulation in Delhi's Safdarjung has climbed up to a whopping 744 mm—more than 50% above normal. The long-period average monsoon rainfall for Delhi is 586 mm, and the city has already registered more than half of this mark so far this year.

Aboard S/V Rembrandt Van Rijn.
S/V 'Rembrandt Van Rijn' was built as a herring lugger early last century. The vessel was rebuilt as a three-mast passenger sailing schooner in The Netherlands in 1994 and sailed in Spitsbergen (1994 – 1996) and in Galápagos (1998 - 2001). The vessel underwent a complete rebuilding and refurbishment program in 2011. The communication and navigation equipment has been completely revamped according to the latest SOLAS regulations.
The Rembrandt van Rijn measures 56 metres in length (168 ft.), 7 meters in width and has a draft of 2, 5 meters. The maximum engine speed is 9 knots. She has an experienced crew of 10 on board including two tour guides. The ship can accommodate a maximum of 34 passengers in 17 twin cabins (1 Twin Shared cabin with porthole (shared shower and toilet), 6 Twin Private Inside cabins (with shower and toilet, no porthole), 10 Twin Private cabins (with shower and toilet and porthole).
A spacious restaurant on board the vessel allows all passengers to have their meals at the same time. The vessel furthermore consists of a separate bar including a reading table. The ship is well suited for expedition cruising among small islands and offers good open deck viewing areas, even when under sail. The two inflatable rubber crafts (zodiacs) enable landing and wildlife viewing opportunities in otherwise inaccessible areas.
Any airfare, whether on scheduled or charter flights; pre- and post land arrangements; transfers to / from the vessel outside Spitsbergen; passport and visa expenses; Government arrival and departure taxes; meals ashore; baggage, cancellation and personal insurance (which is mandatory); excess baggage charges and all items of a personal nature such as laundry, bar, beverage charges and telecommunication charges; and the customary gratuity at the end of the voyages for stewards and other service personnel aboard (guidelines will be provided).
You touch down in Longyearbyen, the administrative center of Spitsbergen, the largest island of the Svalbard archipelago. Enjoy strolling around this former mining town, whose parish church and Svalbard Museum make for fascinating attractions. Though the countryside appears stark, more than a hundred species of plant have been recorded in it. In the early evening the ship sails out of Isfjorden, where you might spot the first minke whale of your voyage. In the evening you sail for Trygghamna, where you see the remains of a 17th-century English whaling station and 18th-century Pomor hunting station, both of which you can visit the next morning.
From Trygghamna you walk to Alkhornet, a large seabird cliff where the birds are scouting out breeding places. Below the cliffs is a common place to spot Arctic foxes, and you may also see reindeer grazing on the lush vegetation if there's not too much snow.
You sail into Fuglefjorden amid views of Svitjodbreen and Birgerbukta, both breeding areas for great skuas as well as likely spots to see a polar bear. On Birgerbukta you can see 17th-century Basque ovens once used for cooking whale blubber. The aim next is to visit Ytre Norskøya, a small island that served for many years as a Dutch whaling lookout. Here you can still follow the whalers' tracks to the summit of the island, passing popular bird cliffs on the way. On shore are the remains of more 17th-century blubber ovens, while Arctic skuas and common eiders breed among the graves of some two hundred Dutch whalers.
Raudfjorden, on the north coast of Spitsbergen, is a fine place for gazing over the glaciers. It's also a favorite hangout for ringed and bearded seals, colonies of seabird, and the occasional polar bear and beluga whale. Ermaktangen, at the fjordh coast of Spitsbergen, is a fine place for gazing over the glof the land.
If ice conditions permit, you may land on the northern side of Reindyrsflya, the largest tundra area of Spitsbergen. This vast and rolling plain is a popular grazing area for reindeer, and several species of waders also breed here. Similarly, the lakes afford you a good chance of spotting red-throated divers and king eiders.
In the morning you land at Fuglesangen, where you can observe spirited communities of little auks. You then sail south to Magdalenafjorden, one of the glacier-filled highlights of Spitsbergen. A shore visit shows you the remains of 17th-century English whaling, and you can also see more large colonies of little auks.
You head north for Kongsfjorden and Krossfjorden. The landscape is likely to show signs of winter, the crags and slopes still blanketed with snow. We aim to visit places of historic interest: Ny London, where you can see the remains of early 20th-century marble mining, and Ny Ålesund, the northernmost community in the world. There are also research stations and the famous anchor mast of the dirigible Norge, which took the first flight across the North Pole to Nome, Alaska in 1926. Krossfjorden offers views of colossal glaciers and lofty mountain peaks, but ultimately the extent of fjord ice dictates the itinerary here.
On your journey south, the goal is a landing at Fuglehuken. Here you see remains from the great era of polar bear hunting. There are also large seabird colonies and a haul-out spot for harbour seals. Alternatively you could land on the coast of Forlandsundet, at Engelskbukta or Sarstangen. Walruses are occasionally seen here, and the tundra is a fine place for a walk.
The next stop is Bohemanflya, an expansive tundra with its own avifauna (depending on when spring arrives) and spectacular geological formations along the coast. In Gipsvika you can go on shore near Templet, a mountainous location of eroded sedimentary rock from the Upper Carboniferous period – around 290 million years ago.


"Can I invite you to lunch?"
Translation:Ti posso invitare a pranzo?
Is it really so outré to write "posso ti invitare"? ti is the object of invitare, after all, not of posso.
You should say "posso invitarti ?".
Yes, or "ti posso invitare". But I was marked wrong for "posso ti invitare", which makes more sense to me (and would be the correct order in French).
Like you, I initially found it counterintuitive, but (at least according to the Italian Michel Thomas course I took) it really is wrong. The pronoun can go before the modal verb or at the end of the infinitive, but never between the two.

Q: AnimationListener functions(Eg: onAnimationEnd) not working for Fragment Transition Animations I have an activity with 2 fragments. I have added custom animations for fragment transactions using setCustomAnimations function. Now I want to perform some operations after fragment transition animation effect. For that I implemented android.view.animation.Animation.AnimationListener interface in my main Activity. But onAnimationEnd method is not getting invoked after the fragment transition operation. Please help!!

A: You cannot set an AnimationListener on these animations because they are provided using a resource identifier. To set an AnimationListener you need a reference to the animation in code and be able to call setAnimationListener to actually set your AnimationListener on a given animation.

A: You need to setup your animation in code using one of the following (depending on whether you are using the compatibility library or not):

Q: php string comparison considering spaces in between in php i need to compare 2 strings.
str1="this is             a       string"
str2=" this is a string  "
I want to consider str1 and str2 to be the same string.
The way I can think is:
trim the strings first. extract the words of each string first, compare the words and then get the result.
Any better way i.e. bulit-in function or something else to make the comparison?

A: What's wrong with $str = preg_replace("/ +/"," ",$str);? Just collapse multiple spaces into one...
Also, please start accepting answers on your older questions.

A: Just use preg_replace() function and trim() function. The following:
<?php
$str1 = "this is             a       string";
$str2 = " this is a string  ";
$str1 = preg_replace('/\s+/', ' ', trim($str1));
$str2 = preg_replace('/\s+/', ' ', trim($str2));
var_dump($str1, $str2);

will output two identical strings:
string(16) "this is a string"
string(16) "this is a string"

See this codepad as a proof.

Onnoghen: NBA Shuts Down Courts In Ebonyi
The Ebonyi State Chapter of the Nigeria Bar Association (NBA) Tuesday said it has shut down the operations of all courts in the State for two days following the directive issued by its National Executive Council (NEC).
The directive was issued in protest to the suspension of the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Justice Walter Onnoghen by President Muhammadu Buhari based on a order by the Code of Conduct Tribunal.
Addressing a press conference in Abakaliki, the Chairman of NBA, Abakaliki Branch, Barrister Festus Nweke, who described the action taken against Onnoghen as a full blown invitation to anarchy, added that the Federal Government was not the appropriate body to discipline a judicial officer in the country.
"The situation is that lawyers have boycotted court sitting in the state for two days as a way of registering our reservations for the action taken against the CJN.
"None of the courts are opened. The action of the federal government is an aberration of the law. The federal government is not the appropriate body to punish a judicial officer. It is an invitation to full blown anarchy if we allow it to stand. There are established rules. Let the federal government follow the established due process.
"NBA Abakaliki is in support of its NEC's resolution. A lawless society is not what we want. We sent our members to monitor Afikpo and other places and I can tell you that in Ebonyi, it total shut down. Not even customary courts sat today."

Safety Net or Golden Parachute?
Senator Lois Snowe-Mello
Fifty-four thousand dollars. After taxes. Clear. Yours. All of it. If I told you that this would be your take-home pay after one year of earning the minimum wage, you wouldn't believe me.
When Representative Brian Duprey and I began shedding light on the depth and scope of the benefits available to a single mother of two earning the minimum wage, many people did not believe it. The numbers we used came directly from Maine Partners for Equal Justice, and were verified by Department of Health and Human Services.
If the current spokesperson for DHHS, Lynn Kippax, former press secretary for the governor, elects to refute the department's own numbers during an election year, that is his business. If we cannot trust the numbers that emanate from this administration, then whose numbers can we trust?
But it gets worse. The other day a woman I know from Durham approached me. She was very distraught, she said, because some close friends of hers who had just returned to Maine to live and were looking for work. These friends had asked her and her husband to help them find jobs, which naturally they were happy to do.
A few days later this lady received another call from her friend. She called to tell them to stop looking. She asked excitedly if her friends had found jobs. The reply was, "No, we are now receiving state help with food stamps and welfare. We're even getting free health insurance through the state!" She went on, "We're going to be all set and plan to take our time looking for work."
I find that story discouraging. These are healthy, capable people who have been convinced by the state to take the easy route. This is only one example. Another woman related to me what she was told when she went to the state for help. "Take the welfare," she was advised. "If you get a job, you can always lose it. But when you get welfare, it can never be taken away."
I was taught by my parents to work for each dollar and to be proud of it. I believe that people are losing their pride and allowing the state to pay their way. The work ethic that gained Maine its once-legendary reputation as a place where rugged individualism held sway is rapidly being replaced with a soft, socialistic lifestyle more dependent on handouts than hard work.
Don't get me wrong. I believe the state must help folks who absolutely cannot take care of themselves. What is wrong is where this state has chosen to go. We are the most highly taxed state in the country. The majority party has, for the past 34 years in the legislature, set policies that have made Maine the worst place to do business. This is a fact. We are perennially among the states with the highest health insurance costs, the highest unemployment insurance costs, the highest percentage of our population on Medicaid and welfare, and we have always had one of the highest minimum wages in the nation. We're now the oldest state in the country, to boot.
The talk about the need for an increase in the minimum wage, and the growing discussion around the need to create a "livable wage," misses the point entirely. The free market system creates wages that are commensurate with supply and demand of jobs and employees. With few employers left in the state, we could set the minimum wage at $50 per hour, and it still would not be enough. Companies would not pay it. They would leave the state, and we would end up with the situation we have today – the highest percent of residents living on the dole in our state's history.
Companies simply pass wage increases to the consumer by raising the cost of their product. Groceries will be more expensive. The price of a meal at a restaurant will increase. Everything the consumer buys will go up. Who's the consumer? Among others, the same individuals who just received the minimum wage increase! A minimum wage hike is eaten up by the increase in the cost of goods that same raise created. Why Democrats can't understand this basic principle of economics boggles the mind.
I want people to have a good education that leads to a good paying job, and the opportunity to live a good life. But nothing is free. It seems to me that we are taking the safety net that is critical to people who are truly in need, and we are tailoring it into a golden parachute. We are being taken advantage of and played for suckers by the thousands and thousands of people who don't mind living off of the government. Little wonder our taxes are killing us.
I believe that the policies set in place by more than 30 years of Democrat rule in Augusta are no longer working. It is time to rein in state spending and foster the culture of self-sufficiency that Maine's reputation was built upon. Maine is at the critical tipping point – we can act now to salvage the work ethic that once made this a great place for industry to settle, or we can continue to foster a culture of dependence.
Our votes in November will determine which way Maine moves.

Daveeth is the artist name of Davíð Hólm Júlíusson. He likes to use electronic devices to make toast but also music. Daveeth, as a young teenager in Akureyri who disliked music played with instruments, started making electronic music around 1997.
With only a tracker and his big head full of creative energy and experimental thirst, he was headed down a path of gear obsession and madness. His music is filled with interesting beats and melodic synth lines, creating a diverse range of tracks, with no set rules or genres.
Mono Lisa is Daveeth's first LP but previously he has released some selections of tracks available on Bandcamp.

Soyuz Rocket Launches Expedition 44 Trio to Space
The Soyuz TMA-17M rocket launches on time from Baikonur Cosmodrome. Credit: NASATV
The Soyuz TMA-17M launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan to the International Space Station at 5:02 p.m. EDT (3:02 a.m. on July 23 Baikonur time). Kjell Lindgren of NASA, Oleg Kononenko of the Russian Federal Space Agency (Roscosmos) and Kimiya Yui of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) now are safely in orbit.
NASA TV coverage continues at https://www.nasa.gov/nasatv.
Lindgren, Kononenko and Yui will dock with the station's Rassvet module at 10:46 p.m. NASA Television coverage of the docking will begin at 10 p.m. Welcoming them aboard will be the current station residents, Expedition 44 Commander Gennady Padalka of Roscosmos, as well as Flight Engineers Scott Kelly of NASA and Mikhail Kornienko of Roscosmos. NASA TV coverage of the hatch opening and welcome ceremony begins at 11:45 p.m.
Padalka, Kelly and Kornienko arrived at the space station in March aboard their Soyuz TMA-16M spacecraft.
Astronaut Kjell Lindgren waves from inside the Soyuz rocket during ascent. An R2D2 doll is seen hanging from inside the spacecraft. Credit: NASA TV
Some of the cargo flown aboard the Soyuz will be used in research investigations that are either ongoing or planned aboard the International Space Station. Items such as questionnaires will be delivered to obtain data about crew member characteristics, such as day-to-day changes in health or incidence of pain or pressure in microgravity. One such investigation is Space Headaches which uses questionnaires to collect information about the prevalence and characteristics of crew members' headaches in microgravity. This information is used to develop future countermeasures for headaches often caused by intracranial pressure change.
Researchers will also use biological sample kits delivered by the Soyuz spacecraft to obtain samples of blood, saliva or urine. The ongoing collection of biological samples from crew members help scientists determine if immune system impairment caused by spaceflight increases the possibility for infection or poses a significant health risk during life aboard the space station.
In addition to these studies, seven categories of human health research are ongoing during the One-Year mission of Scott Kelly and Mikhail Kornienko. Researchers expect these investigations to yield beneficial knowledge on the medical, psychological and biomedical challenges faced by astronauts during long-duration spaceflight.

TO: Kjell Lindgren
My dream is go to NASA and have an opportunity to be an astronaut and arrive space.
Unfortunately, I don't have that chance, so just can view the website and concern your news.
I'm very proud and happy to see taiwanese astronaut to be one of the members of EXPEDITION 45.
I saw EXPEDITION 45 passed Taiwan and greeted with you (did you see me~).
I want to tell you that you are my super idol and I will follow you, support you forever.
Hope you may land safely on Dec.22

The more the merrier as they say. We've heard you and we've now made it easier to add more data to your dashboard. If you have multiple teams, or use multiple boards within a single team, tracking one board or project won't give you the full picture of where your development is heading. You need to track them all.
You can now easily add more data sources to your existing dashboards by selecting Add new data source from the quick add menu. When you select it, a window opens that allows you to choose from the sources that you have already added to your dashboard.
Once you click Save and return to dashboard, you'll be forwarded to the same screen from where you started the process, and you can see that the new source is added to that screen.
Previously, when you created a new dashboard, you got one month of data history. We've now increased that to three months. So when you create a new dashboard, your charts can show data up to three months in the past.
When you hover the mouse over the spinner icons, a modal opens showing the status of the data loading process.
From this modal you can see the status of data update of each data source. The ones that have already been loaded are shown in green. The ones currently in progress are shown in white. If there is a problem loading a data source, you'll see it in red here. The icon disappears once all data sources are loaded and you charts are updated with fresh data.
While the loading is in progress you can use all the features in your dashboard and you can freely ignore the spinner. But in case you really want to know whether your data is up to date, you can take a peek by hovering your mouse over the spinner.
Have you already tried our free Epic Cards Power-Up?
We recently released a new version of our Epic Cards Power-Up. It's a free add-on for Trello that gives you the power to manage and track work on a high level across multiple boards.
We completely redesigned how it works under the hood. Previously all epics were shared by all the boards that had the Power-Up enabled. Now you can specify whether to keep your epics local to this board, or to share them with other boards. That means that you can have two kinds of epics in your boards at the same time - those that are local to a board, and those that are shared across boards. Read all about these changes in this blog post.
It's a stand-alone add-on that runs entirely on Trello's infrastructure. Your data is not sent on 3rd party server. We aim to keep it free for the foreseeable future (after all, it's just a single feature). So go ahead and give it a try on your Trello board!
That's it for this release. We want to thank you for reading it this far 🙏 Stay tuned as we have some really cool features in the pipeline that we will be releasing later this year!

Copyright status of photographs published in 1924 by, and created by, the International Boundary Commission
The International Boundary Commission is a permanent international organization headed by two commissioners: a Canadian and an American. In 1924 it distributed to the public its Report, which contained many photographs that were its own work. The report contains no copyright notice.
The Commission's web site contains this paragraph:
Permission to reproduce Commission works, in part or in whole, and by any means, for personal or public non-commercial purposes, or for cost-recovery purposes, is not required, unless otherwise specified in the material you wish to reproduce.
I'm wondering about usability of these photographs in Wikipedia articles. As nearly as I understand it, Wikipedia's policy says works uploaded to Wikipedia that are not in the public domain must be subject to a license allowing anyone to use them subject only to the condition that authorship and copyright ownership must be acknowledged. Here is Wikipedia's policy on this.
Are any claims to copyright forfeited by public distribution without a copyright notice?
Would copyrights have expired?
PS: Here is the 512-page report.
Michael Hardy
Copyright notices were required in 1923 under US law. Under the Berne Convention simultaneously published works get the shortest protection. Also, the US government specificity does not claim copyright in its works.
The photos are public domain.
But might Canadian law also affect the matter? – Michael Hardy Apr 5 '17 at 21:09
Where were they first published? – Dale M♦ Apr 6 '17 at 0:18
I have a copy from a library that says it was printed at the Government Printing Office in Washington in 1925 and on the next page says it was published "under the authority of the International Boundary Commissioners". I suspect it was published approximately simultaneously in Canada. – Michael Hardy Apr 6 '17 at 3:37
@MichaelHardy A printing by the GPO probably also puts it in the public domain as explained by DaleM – ohwilleke Apr 11 '17 at 22:07
@DaleM : You are right that when the U.S. government is the author of a work, there is no copyright. But this is the work of an international organization, not of the U.S. government. That the U.S. government PRINTED it and PUBLISHED it (i.e. distributed it to the public) does not make the government the author, and the International Boundary Commission, as an international organization, is not the same as the U.S. government. And questions about Canadian law may also be involved. – Michael Hardy Apr 12 '17 at 2:07

Rules and best practices of sharing and reusing these work products are not very well agreed upon today. For the healthy proliferation of AI technologies in our society we believe now is the time to start discuss these issues. For example, when Company A applies a machine learning algorithm on a training data set prepared by Company B and generates a pretrained model of recognizing objects in images, who owns this pretrained model? How should Company C who wants to reuse this pretrained model by fine-tune it to their own domain compensate to the owner of the original model? These questions are related to various technical, legal, political, and practical issues.
This workshop is intended to be the first of series of discussions on the issues of sharing and reuse of AI work products.
Papers must be formatted according to the IJCAI 2017 guidelines (http://ijcai-17.org/FormattingGuidelinesIJCAI-17.zip), and be at most 8 pages long, including a bibliography page.

Pentagon appears to confirm Trump lied about consulting generals on bigoted ban
Alison R. Parker
No one knows which "generals" Donald Trump conferred with about his new ban on transgender troops — not even the Pentagon itself.
Either Donald Trump has his own personal military, or he's a liar.
When Trump announced — by tweet — that his administration was reversing an Obama-era policy and "will not accept or allow Transgender individuals to serve in any capacity in the U.S. Military," he claimed to have come to the decision with the help of experts.
Specifically, "after consultation with my Generals and military experts."
Wherever those "Generals" happen to work, though, it's not at the Pentagon.
The Hill reports that the Pentagon all but confirmed that Trump lied about speaking with generals, because it wasn't until Monday — five days later — that conversations between the White House and the Pentagon actually began.
"We have conversations back and forth all the time with the White House in a variety of channels and those conversations are starting to happen on the issue," Navy Captain Jeff Davis said — the key phrase there being "starting to happen."
Indeed, when asked about the generals to whom Trump referred in his tweet, Davis had no information.
"You'd have to talk to the White House about that," he said. He confirmed that Department of Defense officials are still waiting for an official directive to be submitted to them.
Other officials have clearly stated they will make no changes to their current policies and guidelines unless and until that directive is issued.
The Pentagon was, in fact, "blindsided" by the announcement, and during the lull between Trump's first and second tweets, were worried that he was about to announce a military strike against North Korea.
The fact that Trump almost certainly lied in his announcement is, depressingly, not a surprise. And that he would feel the need to preemptively defend this hateful and bigoted policy by citing imaginary "Generals" who support it is quite telling — especially considering it was actually the repulsive result of a Mike Pence and Steve Bannon brainstorming session.
Indeed, even many in Trump's own party are adamantly opposed to the move. As Arizona senator and Navy veteran John McCain said, any Americans who wish to serve their country "should be treated as the patriots they are."
If Trump truly believed his policy was worth the price of the phone it was tweeted from, he wouldn't have felt the need to lie about it.
And he wouldn't have been shown up by the Pentagon when they pointed out his blatant dishonesty.

Redroom.com, which premiered Dec. 21, is one of the more ambitious online communities for writers to date and perhaps the most timely, aiming to capitalize on the current potential for profitability of social-networking sites. It features 150 authors (with 400 more to come), ranging from Amy Tan and Salman Rushdie to Edinburgh Castle Pub owner Alan Black; Graham Leggatt, executive director of the San Francisco Film Society, who moonlights as a sci-fi writer; and local mystery writer Cara Black.
Here's my page (with more content to come), and I have to say that Redroom is one of the most stylish startups I've ever seen; it's beautiful and informative, with videos and podcasts in addition to print essays and interviews, and I imagine the site will fill up with even more content in no time.
There's a philanthropic component as well. Authors can designate their favorite charities or nonprofits, and a portion of the revenue generated from page and ad views goes to good causes.
My choice is Make It Right NOLA, Brad Pitt's audacious attempt to help rebuild New Orleans' Lower Ninth Ward...because it's a good cause, and because everyone I know who's run into the Pitt-Jolie family in New Orleans says they're about the most down-to-earth neighbors imaginable given their circumstances. And Red Room founder Ivory Madison established a chapter of the National Organization for Women in New Orleans, so I hope she has a soft spot for the recovery effort as well.
- Congratulations to Shannon Wheeler on the publication of his new book, Screw Heaven: When I Die I'm Going to Mars...and good luck to him with his drawing and reading at Powell's Books tonight.
This weekend's A&E section in The Oregonian features a profile of my buddy Shannon Wheeler, creator of the comic strip Too Much Coffee Man and the opera of the same name.
Shannon just bought a house, so why not buy his latest book, Screw Heaven: When I Die, I'm Going to Mars?
Oprah picked me! Really! I swear!
We called him and asked when exactly he went before a live studio audience on the Oprah Winfrey Show.
"June 18, I believe," Schneider said, "but you'll have to check with my publicist."
Schneider's publicist didn't return calls for comment, nor did the author respond to requests to elaborate on his story.
Oprah: So fasten your seat belts… because you are about to meet the author of Crossed Paths, who flew in from Cape Cod, Massachusetts just to spend some time with us today. Please join me in welcoming Bill Schneider.
Oprah: Bill, I must tell you that I immediately fell in love with this book when I first read it.
Schneider: Thank you. Thanks very much.
Oprah: Crossed Paths is truly a gem of story. Tell me how you came to write this very poignant book.
And as for the bogus transcript, well, hey, Dan Rather didn't check out those fake documents about the Bush administration and the Iraq War.
Bill's analysis (primarily about the travel and the music industries) has appeared in Rolling Stone, Vanity Fair, Billboard, New York Times, London Financial Times, Los Angeles Times, San Francisco Chronicle and Village Voice.... Bill's teleplays include Terror on the Thames for the BBC and Luck of the Draw for PBS.
That's quite a c.v. Sometimes it doesn't hurt to be "too cynical."
The 100 Best First Lines From Novels, from the editors of the American Book Review.
"The best novels you've never read"
New York magazine surveyed the members of the National Book Critics Circle (of which I'm one, though I didn't participate) and asked them to "pick the best under-the-radar book of the past ten years or so."
The result is my new library list.
Sure, there are a few familiar names (Martin Amis), but for the most part, I've never heard of any of these books or their authors. Top of my new library list: Judy Budnitz' Nice Big American Baby and Maggie Robbins' Suzy Zeus Gets Organized.
Tom Wayne has amassed thousands of books in a warehouse during the 10 years he has run his used book store, Prospero's Books.
His collection ranges from best sellers, such as Tom Clancy's The Hunt for Red October and Tom Wolfe's Bonfire of the Vanities, to obscure titles, like a bound report from the Fourth Pan-American Conference held in Buenos Aires in 1910. But when he wanted to thin out the collection, he found he couldn't even give away books to libraries or thrift shops; they said they were full.
"This is the funeral pyre for thought in America today," Wayne told spectators outside his bookstore as he lit the first batch of books..."After slogging through the tens of thousands of books we've slogged through, and to accumulate that many and to have people turn you away when you take them somewhere, it's just kind of a knee-jerk reaction," he said. "And it's a good excuse for fun."
Wayne said he has seen fewer customers in recent years as people more often get their information from television or the Internet. He pointed to a 2002 study by the National Endowment for the Arts, that found that less than half of adult respondents reported reading for pleasure, down from almost 57 percent in 1982.
Dozens of other people took advantage of the book-burning, searching through the books waiting to go into the flames for last-minute bargains.
Mike Bechtel paid $10 for a stack of books, including an antique collection of children's literature, which he said he'd save for his 4-year-old son.
"I think, given the fact it is a protest of people not reading books, it's the best way to do it," Bechtel said. "(Wayne has) made the point that not reading a book is as good as burning it."
I wouldn't go that far. Still, it surprises me that the Kansas City Public Library wouldn't take the collection for a used-book sale. Maybe they will, now that the books are "famous"; there's nothing that can stir demand for something than telling people they can't have it.


I had high hopes for the raspberries this year. Newly planted-well, autumn-the canes had been plugged in for a while and i had though they were established well enough to produce fruit. I was wrong. The canes did precious little, and didn't actually produce a single fruit. On the other hand, the autumn fruiting ones were altogether a bit confused and fruited through the summer.
The black and red currants were also newly planted. They are all two years old, which would suggest that they would start to fruit. There was a few little beads of red and purple. And that was more than I actually expected, as the plants are still young and only fruit on wood that is older than two years old. I do hope that in the coming years that these start to develop more fully.
Gooseberries. These are also young plants. I spent ages last year, plugging in plants to fruit in coming years. Again, the gooseberries weren't expected to crop a great deal. The 200 or so grams were however enough to form the basis of jam.


Hi, im working with Rama's TCP code. But I want to transfer a struct which is the same for client and server. How to do it?
where str_data is the struct. It has a size of 72 bytes. But how do I get it in unreal? Seems like the Recv only returns uint8 pointer. How to get the struct out of it? Any static_cast, reinterpret_cast seems to fail.
Hi, you can't simply cast to the struct you want, instead, you must read data and interpret to a struct yourself. You should also keep in mind the endianness of the data you send.
HI thanks for the comment! You mean I have to go through every byte and assign them to the struct? How to access them then?
An offset value is a position from where you start reading the array, if you read from start it will be 0. Here some examples how you can read int, float, and simply data of given size.
What would be a "efficent" way to send ~100 bytes every few microsecond? Always the struct and the server knows how to decrypt every message or shall i float tcp messages with every information on their own? like "coordx" "2.4" "coordy" "3.76" in 4 packages.
An offset shows how much of data stream you had read. For example, if you read two ints (4 bytes each int) and a float(8 bytes), your offset will be 12, so you don't read variables from the stream that you have already read. Regardless of how you send it: full struct or small chunks(if they are in the order in which they are declared in the struct) receiving result will be the same.
Iterate through the sockets of a mesh looking for sockets with the same basename and an integer ID, "BaseName%d"


There are many exciting things happening in the nursery on Sunday mornings! We have a great group of children who come each week along with lots of visitors. Recently, we made the decision to transition away from using an agency to supply our childcare workers on Sundays. We want to engage our own members to create memories both for the children and the adults looking after them. And yes, it takes a village – and in this case, it is going to take 100 villagers each year to staff the nursery appropriately for our little ones and their parents. Those volunteering in the nursery share how important it is for them to not only fulfill their baptismal vows, but to truly know the children of our church. If you would like to be one of the "village people" willing to give four hours/year to our children, please email Steve Carpenter at stevecarpenter@carolina.rr.com. There are opportunities to help out during the 9:00 or 11:00 service. Also, there are opportunities to teach Sunday School at 10:00. The only requirement to help in the nursery is to be at least 21 years old and have the ability to nurture. Thank you for your gift to our young families!

Supreme Court Rules in Favor of Health Plans in Landmark $13 Billion Affordable Care Act Case
On April 27, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a decision in Maine Cmty. Health Options et al v. United States, ruling in favor of Maine and companion insurers in the long running Affordable Care Act §1342 "risk corridors" litigation, and confirming the government's obligation to pay insurers approximately $13 billion for their work related to the ACA. Under the risk corridors program, the government and the health plans shared risk during the first three years of the ACA exchanges, and had reciprocal statutory payment obligations; however, after the health plans performed, the government refused to make full payment, arguing that Congress' refusal to appropriate funds vitiated the government's payment obligation. Reversing the Federal Circuit, the Supreme Court held that the statute contained an unambiguous payment mandate, which was not repealed or otherwise suspended by Congress' failure to make appropriations available. While a failure to appropriate funds prevents agencies from making the payment, the failure does not relieve the United States of its obligation to pay. Speaking for the majority, Justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote: "These holdings reflect a principle as old as the Nation itself: The Government should honor its obligations. Soon after ratification, Alexander Hamilton stressed this insight as a cornerstone of fiscal policy. 'States,' he wrote, 'who observe their engagements . . . are respected and trusted: while the reverse is the fate of those . . . who pursue an opposite conduct.'" C&M partner Steve McBrady called the decision "important" noting that it "cements bedrock principles of fairness into money mandating statute jurisprudence." Crowell & Moring represented Maine Community Health Options.

The Air Jordan 9 Retro 'University Blue' Is Releasing Next Month — Here's How to Get It
Victor Deng
Jordan Brand is set to introduce a new colorway of the Air Jordan 9.
Arriving next weekend is the Air Jordan 9 Retro "University Blue," which is the latest colorway of Michael Jordan's ninth signature shoe.
The model sports a white leather upper that's contrasted by glittery black overlays that cover the mudguard and extend to the collar. Unlike the traditional red accents used on Air Jordans to represent MJ's heyday with the Chicago Bulls, the Jumpman branding for this pair comes in university blue. The simple color scheme extends to the tooling with a black foam midsole and a white rubber outsole.
The Air Jordan 9 Retro "University Blue" will be released on Dec. 5 via the Nike SNKRS app and at select Jordan Brand retailers for $190.
The Air Jordan 9 made its retail debut in 1993, and years later new colorways continue to be released. MJ never had the chance to wear the Air Jordan 9 on the basketball courts as he had retired from the game in 1993, opting to play baseball instead. (The hoops icon played a single season in the minor leagues.)
In related Air Jordan news, Jordan Brand has confirmed that the highly anticipated release of J Balvin's Air Jordan 1 High collab is releasing on Dec. 8.

Mika Brzezinski Slams 'Pathetic' Mark Zuckerberg: 'You've Destroyed This Country' (Video)
Mika Brzezinski is not going to put Facebook executives Mark Zuckerberg and Sheryl Sandberg into her Top 8 Friends. Oh wait, that was Myspace. "Sheryl Sandberg, Mark Zuckerberg: You guys are pathetic," Brzezinski said on Monday's "Morning Joe." "You need to be shut down. Nobody needs what you have to offer. You've destroyed this country, and quite frankly, it's still happening right now." The MSNBC co-host was heated over Facebook and Twitter's blind eye to the widespread "misinformation" and "disinformation" on their platforms. Brzezinski also didn't find the platforms' respective 11th-hour bans of President Donald Trump to be nearly enough — instead, she called the suspensions "some sort of last-minute suck-up to Joe Biden." Too little too late, she said. Also Read: Twitter Suspends Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene Over Election Misinformation "Perhaps there wouldn't be people dead," Brzezinski said. "Perhaps there wouldn't be people following false scientific information about the coronavirus. Perhaps there wouldn't have been some sort of insurrection at the Capitol that was promulgated all over your sites. Perhaps there wouldn't have been so much hatred and disinformation. You have shown that. It drops. Just by some random act that you decided to take at the last minute." Brzezinski and host Joe Scarborough explained that they see Facebook and Twitter as "publishers," and as such, they want the social media platforms to be held accountable by the same laws as news organizations. In the same breath, Scarborough kinda-sorta defended Fox News, which might show just how little he thinks of Facebook and Twitter. "Their business model is having algorithms that promote radicalism, that promote anti-Americanism, that promote violence against this country," he said. "They are the problem." Also Read: 'Morning Joe' Compares Modern GOP to 'What We Read in the History Books About Hitler' (Video) Scarborough added that he wants to see Facebook not just regulated, but broken up into "a million little pieces."

TV and Film Production No Longer Qualify for UK Travel Exemption
Television and film production no longer qualifies for UK travel exemption, according to the country's government website. Those who travel to the UK for production must now self-isolate for a period of 10 days. Under both the "Television production" and "High-end television production and film" categories, the website now reads: "This job no longer qualifies for an exemption as of 4am Monday 18 January 2021." The rules are still a bit different for the UK's local broadcast channel — those involved in "urgent or essential work" for the BBC do not need to self-isolate, according to the updated guidelines. Also Read: James Corden Hints He Won't Renew 'Late Late Show' Gig, May Return to UK One show that could be affected by the new coronavirus travel guidelines is Jason Sudeikis' excellent Apple TV+ comedy "Ted Lasso," which shoots in the UK but employs at least a few stars and writers from our side of the pond. Looks like those guys may have gotten in right on time, though — Apple TV+ tweeted on Friday that "production for @TedLasso Season 2 has officially begun!" The UK is currently under national lockdown orders due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Simply put, that level reads, "Stay at home." Or, put more broadly on the country's government website: "Coronavirus (COVID-19) is spreading fast. Do not leave your home unless necessary. One in three people who have the virus have no symptoms, so you could be spreading it without knowing it." Here is this morning's general update, which came at 4 a.m. local time (that's 11 p.m. on Jan. 17 ET and 8 p.m. on Jan. 17 PT): "All travel corridors to close and you must self-isolate after arriving in the UK, even if you have tested negative. Most people travelling to the UK from abroad need proof of a negative coronavirus (COVID-19) test result. You need to have taken the test in the 3 days before you travel."
