France's three-star restaurants, known around the world as the ultimate in luxury dining, may be going the way of the dinosaur.
Battered by a weak economy, heavy debts, and extravagant staff costs, their ranks have dwindled to fewer than 20 as rated by France's two top guidebooks.
Top chefs and restaurant critics say the elite is likely to shrink still further, even if the economy improves, as young chefs focus on more modest fare in simpler surroundings in the search for solvency rather than celebrity.
"Over the next five to 10 years, there will be fewer three-star restaurants. There may be only 12 or 15," says Bernard Loiseau, chef and owner of a three-star restaurant in the town of Saulieu in the Burgundy region.
Nineteen restaurants are awarded three stars in the 1996 Michelin, France's most prestigious restaurant guide, compared with 20 in the 1995 edition. In just a few months, super-chef Pierre Gagnaire has gone bankrupt, master-cook Joel Robuchon has announced plans to hang up his apron at 50, and La Tour d'Argent, a temple of Paris gastronomy for decades, has been stripped of its third star.
The staid Michelin awarded at least one of its coveted stars to just 532 restaurants this year, down from 541 last year and 554 in 1994.
"There are many young people now in the business in Paris who are no longer interested in the massive investment required to earn three stars," Mr. Loiseau says, although he stresses that his own business is in excellent health.
But a closer look at his restaurant gives an insight into three-star chefs' problems. Loiseau borrowed $3 million to achieve the opulent decor he thought would catch a Michelin inspector's eye. Yet the restaurant only breaks even at best.
"As I have many debts, I make no money from the restaurant," Loiseau says. Michelin director-general, Bernard Naegellen, predicts the number of three-star restaurants will climb again once the French economy improves.
But critics and chefs see another problem for the future in the changing attitude among young chefs. Those just starting out are less willing to put in the long hours required to achieve three-star fame. They aim instead for a less formal, less expensive dining experience.

Just think about a multithreaded application. In this kind of applications they are using cached variables for working. Normally threads may copy variables from CPU to cache memory to access them fast. These variables are called cached variables. This operation may increase application performances. If your system have multi cores, then variables will be cached to different CPU's cache memories.
At the time, if one thread changes the value of a variable which is in one cache memory, it can't be guaranteed that it will get updated in other threads. because different threads are using different cached memories. That is why we need volatile variables.
Volatile is a non access modifier.
You can use it only with variables(fields), you CANNOT use it with classes and methods.
If you define a variable with volatile modifier; it says to Java compiler, don't cache the value of this variable and it should read only from the main memory. So Java compiler doesn't copy this variable to cache memories and always uses original copy of the variable.
If I change one value in one thread which is running in one CPU, may not be updated in another thread. This thread may be using old value. This will make troubles to the application.
The best option to avoid this, make that variable volatile.
You can use volatile variables in concurrency operations like I mentioned above.
It warn, not to create a local copy of the variable in cache memories and always use the original value from main memory. Then only one value is there for many threads.
Volatile keyword is using in Singleton design pattern.
If you look at my Singleton Design pattern post, it can be seen double checked thread safe initialization of singleton design pattern. In this initialization we make the only instance as volatile.
Volatile variables are using to make double and long values atomically.
You know that, both long and double primitives are 64bit. Some platforms make 64bit in two steps. This is not atomic. If you define variables with volatile, it makes that variables atomic.
Volatile boolean is used to terminate threads.
Volatile variable can be used as a flag. If you want to terminate a thread safety by using another thread, you can use this. Why you need volatile keyword is it will always get updated the status of the thread.
Then you may ask why it uses volatile ? Simple answer is you need not to have synchronized block if you are using a volatile instance as I mentioned.
It may decrease your CPU performances.
Because it doesn't use cache memory, it always uses main memory. It is more valuable than accessing cache memory. Then it will decrease your system's performance.
But volatile keyword is less weight than using a synchronized block. Synchronized block required more CPU power than volatile.
Volatile keyword can only be used with variables.
Volatile variable cannot be final.
Volatile object can be null.
There is no use of volatile keywords in non threaded applications.


THE Earl and Countess of Wessex's visit was by no means rocky.
The trip to Gibraltar could not have gone smoother, especially with the wave of recent tensions between Spain and Gibraltar.
Support for the Earl and Countess definitely didn't die down on the second day of their visit.
Huge crowds turned out again to patronage the Royal couple.
As they waved their flags in the air, the public seemed to be waving goodbye to the troubled waters.
The day commenced with a stopover in the Alameda Gardens to unveil a plaque on the fountains.
The beautiful gardens provided a picturesque backdrop for the Countess of Wessex who seemed in her element when greeted with the chant 'Sophie' by the toddlers from the local nursery.
It was reminiscent of the late Lady Diana when she crouched down and seemed genuinely captivated by their words, apparently losing herself in a child's world for a good 10 minutes.
The royal couple inaugurated a plaque in remembrance of the Moroccans who worked in Gibraltar during the closure of the Spanish border.
There were members of the Moroccan community association, representatives of G.G.C.A. and G.T.A, and former trade union leader Jose Netto, amongst others.
Fabian Picardo commemorated the Moroccan workers in his speech and thanked the royal couple for inaugurating the plaque.
The Prince, in a light-hearted manner which he so naturally adopts, joked with the spectators that the 'plaque is not too bad is it,' to which the crowd responded with a hearty laugh.
The patriotic fervour continued on into the evening, and culminated in the Royal Parade at Casemates Square; an explosive celebration of this momentous occasion.
The parade was attended by 750 guests, and close to one thousand members of the public.
The Royal Gibraltar Regiment was present and the Prince inspected the guard, honouring the royal tradition.
The 21 gun salute and stream of aircraft certainly caused a stir with onlookers, some of whom lost their hats to the wind during the event, to the public's bemusement.
In light of recent conflicts, this visit has been very uplifting for the morale of Gibraltar and its people.
The Gibraltarians have reaffirmed their support of the royal family and enthusiastically waved their flags, in unison, to demonstrate they are British and one with the Queen.

The band they're supposed to be
American Aquarium comes to Birmingham on the heels of their eighth studio release, Wolves. Raised on Ryan Adams and Whiskeytown and the sounds emerging from Raleigh, North Carolina, the band's story of survival includes a period when they had considered hanging it up, but soldiered through to complete their biggest and most revealing record, Burn.Flicker.Die.
BJ Barham is the lead singer, and he spoke with Weld about that period of time and how his band survived it. He also gloated about N.C. State basketball a little.
Raleigh isn't really known for rock and roll. Are we just not paying attention?
[Laughs] For what we're doing, there hasn't been a scene for it since the late '90s, when Whiskeytown and the Backsliders and Six String Drag were the kings of Hillsborough Street. Our biggest production, obviously, is Ryan Adams.
If Whiskeytown didn't exist, I'd be in a [expletive] punk rock band right now. Whiskeytown was the first band I ever heard that played with the tenacity of a rock and roll band, but was still twangy as [expletive]. I dug it. It was the first — I was 17 years old the first time I heard Stranger's Almanac and absolutely lost my mind. This kind of music was out there and nobody was listening to it. By nobody, I mean, this is coming from a kid that was raised on mainstream country music. I could not fathom how a band like this slipped through the radar.
And once I got into them, I got into Chip Robinson and the Backsliders, Kenny Roby and Six String Drag — I started really becoming what some people would call "stalkerish," but I'd call it more of a historian of Raleigh music. I was just trying to take it all in. The scene today is absolutely vibrant. The Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill scene today is — some really great stuff is happening. Not just in the rock and roll world, but in the indie rock world, the country world, the hip-hop world. It's a hotbed for really creative people, which is nice.
Do you feel like you helped pave some of that path for the younger acts emerging now?
No. If I have, awesome. I personally just don't feel that way, because I feel like we are still very much in the neophyte stage of musicdom. We've just tried to make a very, very clear definition of what we're doing, and that's hard work, hard touring. And you'll be able to — maybe not find huge success, but you'll be able to play music for the rest of your life. Cultivating a fan base. And hopefully, if we pass anything down to any future generation of Raleigh band, it's that nothing is free. Nothing is going to come to you. A&R people don't just show up at coffee houses anymore and discover you. You have to go out and work your ass off. And if you want it bad enough, you have to be willing to give up everything you love for a minimum of 10 years. If you're willing to do that, then you might actually be able to make it.
I think we're up to seven records now, so I don't know if you guys are the new kids on the block anymore.
Man, don't make me feel old. I turned 30 this year, and we've put out eight releases in nine years. I don't like to think that we're old, I like to just think that we're busy. February of next year will be the 10-year anniversary of the first record coming out, and that's slowly starting to take its toll on me, that I've spent a third of my life doing this.
You recorded Burn.Flicker.Die in Muscle Shoals. Was the historical context important to you, or was it simply the best facility to meet your needs?
Our buddy Jason Isbell produced that. Basically, that was his condition. "Yeah, I'll produce the record, but you guys have to come to Muscle Shoals." Nobody really argues with going to Muscle Shoals and making a record. Muscle Shoals is a really struggling town, economically speaking. It's a really small town. A lot of shops are sitting empty these days. But you can't walk into that city without feeling a little bit of that mojo. That's the only way I can describe it. There's something in the air there that just makes people want to play music. It was a special, special thing to record down there and it didn't hurt that Jason was producing the record. So he'd just call up — he'd just call him Spooner, but he was really talking about Spooner Oldham. And Spooner would come in and play keys on the record and you'd just be like, "Oh, you're on tour with Neil Young. Glad you're not on the road now!"
So many talented musicians are just hanging around at the restaurants or the bars — guys that played on some of the most legendary, historic recordings of all time might serve you a beer. It's one of those towns, and it's a really cool place to make a record and luckily, Jason gave us the opportunity to do that.
Muscle Shoals has met the fate that so many small towns have met, my hometown included. I grew up in a place called Reidsville, North Carolina and it used to be a really booming center for tobacco. We had American Tobacco Company, so if you've ever smoked a Pall Mall cigarette or a Lucky Strike cigarette, it came out of Reidsville, North Carolina. The plant closed in 2000 and moved to Greensboro. Financially, it's a struggling town, much like Muscle Shoals. You drive through historic downtown Muscle Shoals, Reidsville, any small town U.S.A. and there's nothing there. Just paper over the windows. "For Lease" signs over the windows. There's still that one or two mom-and-pop restaurants and a couple of bars, and that's about it. It's really weird to see that kind of stuff on a national scale. In Muscle Shoals, luckily they have the music scene, because there's such a rich history there, and I think they'll always be able to market that for tourism.
How much did those bands — Drive-By Truckers and company — influence what you were doing?
Oh the Truckers were a huge example. When I first started putting a band together, there was another band out of Memphis called Lucero that I modeled our band after. "These bands played 250-plus shows a year and nobody has ever heard of them. They put out really good music and they put on a hell of a show. I want to do that. I want to tell stories and I want to write songs like that and I want to tour like that."
Very early on, the Truckers, right when they put out Southern Rock Opera, Dirty South, Decoration Day, those early records, they were definitely an influence on what we were doing. They kind of set the bar of "go out and bust your ass for it. Go out every night and put on a show and get fans. Make every show count."
You had hinted at retirement after that record. What changed?
We were tired, man. Seven years of sleeping on floors and not paying your rent, it'll humble you. It'll take any kind of cocksure attitude you have and it'll wipe it away. For us, we spent the better part of a decade playing 300 shows a year in front of nobody that gave a [expletive] and one day the bell tolled. We looked at each other and said, "Maybe we're not good enough. Maybe this isn't what we're supposed to do."
So we all decided we were going to put out one record. We were going to leave it on the table. And if anybody ever questions, "What ever happened to that band American Aquarium?" you'd be able to listen to that record start to finish and say, "Oh, that's why they broke up." And it's kind of ironic that the record about us completely imploding is the record that gained us a lot of success.
I've read that you were living out of a storage unit. What was the moment of clarity? When did you see that music was still in the future and that you didn't have to give it up?
Burn.Flicker.Die. But before Burn.Flicker.Die., I had been in a storage unit for almost three years. Showering at people's houses, friend's houses. It was sacrificing. I knew this is what I wanted to do. I didn't know if I was good enough to do it yet, but I thought I was writing pretty good songs. I knew that I wasn't going to have an excuse at the end of the day. If I turned 30 and I was bartending, still, and I wasn't playing music — I didn't want to have an excuse. I wanted to be able to say, "I did everything. I sold every possession I had and I lived in absolute squalor just to try to make it. And I still didn't make it. So it was no fault of mine. I did everything I could."
Luckily, when Burn.Flicker.Die. came out, we started paying our bills on time. The last two-and-a-half years of touring on Burn.Flicker.Die. really solidified this band as, "Hey, we're pretty [expletive] good. I think we can continue to do this for the rest of our lives."
Is Wolves as heartbreaking as the rest of your records?
Wolves is actually an upnote. It's positive. In the last year, I've gotten sober. I've gotten married. Things are definitely on an upswing. So this record is about me falling in love with my wife and it's kind of an open letter to her saying, "I'm not the best human being in the world, but I'm going to try my best to be for you."
I tackle a lot of things that I haven't had the balls to tackle on other records. Like alcoholism, like, "Hey, I have a problem." So there's a couple of songs on there talking about my family's bout with alcoholism. I've had some uncles pass away from the drugs and the drinks. It's a growing up record for me. We left everything on the table with Burn.Flicker.Die. as far as being the party band, the bar band, the ones that were there at 3 a.m. trying to take your girlfriend home. This is us making a record that we wanted to make. This is us making a statement. We're way more than a song about Friday nights and we're super proud of it. It's a huge step forward for us, it's a huge step forward forward in our sound, sonically, lyrically, musically. It's us growing up. It's us taking a big step forward into that realm of, "Hey, we can do this for the rest of our lives."
How do you feel about the job that Mark Gottfried is doing at N.C. State?
I love it, man! I absolutely love it. I appreciate you Alabama boys letting go of him. Not to rub any salt in the wound, but I also love what Trevor Lacey is doing for the team right now [Laughs].
All my boys from Alabama give me a hard time, "How's it feel to have our leftovers?"
Well, we've been to the dance every single year since he came, so I'm okay with it. Every year we have a top 10 recruiting class. If we were in the SEC, we'd kill it. We have to go up against Carolina and Duke every year, so there's always that little brother complex of, "No matter how good we are, we still have to play Carolina and Duke."
In the SEC, you have the Kentucky powerhouse, which has come back since Calipari, but imagine the Carolina/Duke powerhouse that's been around since the [expletive] '70s. It's every year, no matter how good we are, we're just not quite good enough. And Gottfried is putting us up there. I'm loving everything out of the state of Alabama that comes up here. Ralston Turner, our starting guard, he's from Huntsville. Trevor Lacey, we've got him for another year. Gottfried, he may not be the best coach in the world, but he's the best recruiter this school has ever seen. As long as he keeps bringing talent to Raleigh, that's all I care about.
Who are the top five American rock bands of all time?
1. Bruce Springsteen and the E-Street Band. There's no arguing that, so you can go ahead and put it in cement.
The second band is Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. They're very close to Springsteen, as far as I'm concerned.
Number three — by the way, this isn't just my list, this is the permanent list, because it's the right list. Number three is a band out of Minneapolis called The Replacements. The Replacements epitomize what The Rolling Stones are, but they're the American version of it. They're one of my favorite bands of all time.
Number four is Wilco, out of Chicago. They are absolutely brilliant. Really, really, really great band.
And I'll give number five to your hometown boys, I'll give it to Drive-By Truckers.
That's not a bad list. If someone can find something to argue with on that list, I'll listen to them, but those bands should all be in everyone's top 10. But that's my top five.
American Aquarium comes to BottleTree Cafe on Thursday, February 19. Andrew Duhon Trio will open. The show begins at 9 p.m. and tickets are $10.

, även känt som Shensi, är en provins i nordvästra Kina. Provinsen har en yta på 205 800 km² och totalt 37 327 378 invånare (2010). Provinshuvudstad är Xi'an.

Namn
Provinsens namn uttalas på kinesiska Shǎnxī, men ofta används stavningen Shaanxi eller Shensi för att undvika förväxling med grannprovinsen Shānxī. Provinsen namn betyder "väster om Shǎn", där Shǎn (陕) syftade på häradet Shan som låg i Henan-provinsen intill gränsen till Shaanxi.

Provinsen kallas också Qín (秦), vilket syftar på Qindynastin.

Geografi
Mongoliets högslätt sträcker sig in i och utfyller största delen av norra Shaanxi, medan söder om Weihes dalgång Qinlingshans bergskedja sträcker sig mot öster, på sydsidan begränsad av Hanfloden. Bergskedjorna Hebashan och Dabashan bildar gräns mot Sichuan. Klimatet är torrt och kontinental. Området söder om Qinlingshan får dock något rikligare nederbörd. Norra delen av Shaanxi fram till Qinlingshan täcks av lössavlagringar, vilka utgör utmärkt åkerjord. De viktigaste jordbruksprodukterna är vete, majs, korn, bomull och frukt.

Historia
Shaanxi har varit Kinas centralprovins under flera dynastier, bland annat Qindynastin, då Xianyang var Kinas huvudstad. Även Xi'an har varit huvudstad för flera dynastier.

I den norra delen av provinsen ligger staden Yan'an dit Kinas kommunistiska parti skapade ett basområde 1935 efter Den långa marschen. Staden kom att bli den kinesiska kommunistiska rörelsens centrum fram till mars 1947.

Administration
Shaanxi består av den subprovinsiella staden Xi'an och av nio städer på prefekturnivå:

Politik

Den politiska makten i Shaanxi utövas officiellt av provinsens folkregering, som leds av den regionala folkkongressen och guvernören i provinsen. Dessutom finns det en regional politiskt rådgivande konferens, som motsvarar Kinesiska folkets politiskt rådgivande konferens och främst har ceremoniella funktioner. Provinsens guvernör sedan december 2016 är Hu Heping

I praktiken utövar dock den regionala avdelningen av Kinas kommunistiska parti den avgörande makten i Shaanxi och partisekreteraren i regionen har högre rang i partihierarkin än guvernören. Sedan december 2016 heter partisekreteraren Lou Qinjian

Q: Which Mathematics areas do I need to acquaint myself with before studying Lie algebra and representation as a self study undergrad? I am self studying pure mathematics and really need to study Lie groups. I do not have a pure math university background but I have acquainted myself with undergraduate algebra both linear and abstract, as well as real analysis.
Could you please outline for me the mathematical "path" i.e. all the topics I need to be familiar with to understand Lie algebras and representation theory as well as the books I would need (especially Springer books if possible).
A very helpful approach would be to outline as such: Measure theory, Differential geometry, topology... all the undergraduate and graduate topics I would require before pursuing Lie algebra.
Thank you.

A: You can study Lie algebras without Lie groups, and for this you only really need to know linear algebra. Having some understanding of basic abstract algebra and group theory also helps for understanding the basic techniques and ideas.
A friendly introduction to Lie algebras is in Erdmann and Wildon, "Introduction to Lie Algebras". They do not discuss Lie groups at all. But they will teach you about Lie algebras and root systems, which are essential for Lie theory.
More advanced introduction to Lie algebras is the classic book by J. E. Humphreys, which also does not talk about Lie groups. But it contains all the essentials of complex semisimple Lie algebras and their representation theory.
For Lie groups, you could look at "Lie Groups, Lie Algebras, and Representations: An Elementary Introduction" by Brian C. Hall.

Field Detail

request

protected static Http.Request request

The current HTTP request: the message sent by the client to the server.

 Note: The ControllersEnhancer makes sure that an appropriate thread local version is applied.
 ie : controller.request - controller.request.current()

response

protected static Http.Response response

The current HTTP response: The message sent back from the server after a request.

 Note: The ControllersEnhancer makes sure that an appropriate thread local version is applied.
 ie : controller.response - controller.response.current()

session

protected static Scope.Session session

The current HTTP session. The Play! session is not living on the server side but on the client side.
 In fact, it is stored in a signed cookie. This session is therefore limited to 4kb.

 From Wikipedia:

 Client-side sessions use cookies and cryptographic techniques to maintain state without storing as much data on the server. When presenting a dynamic web page, the server sends the current state data to the client (web browser) in the form of a cookie. The client saves the cookie in memory or on disk. With each successive request, the client sends the cookie back to the server, and the server uses the data to "remember" the state of the application for that specific client and generate an appropriate response.
 This mechanism may work well in some contexts; however, data stored on the client is vulnerable to tampering by the user or by software that has access to the client computer. To use client-side sessions where confidentiality and integrity are required, the following must be guaranteed:
 Confidentiality: Nothing apart from the server should be able to interpret session data.
 Data integrity: Nothing apart from the server should manipulate session data (accidentally or maliciously).
 Authenticity: Nothing apart from the server should be able to initiate valid sessions.
 To accomplish this, the server needs to encrypt the session data before sending it to the client, and modification of such information by any other party should be prevented via cryptographic means.
 Transmitting state back and forth with every request is only practical when the size of the cookie is small. In essence, client-side sessions trade server disk space for the extra bandwidth that each web request will require. Moreover, web browsers limit the number and size of cookies that may be stored by a web site. To improve efficiency and allow for more session data, the server may compress the data before creating the cookie, decompressing it later when the cookie is returned by the client.

 Note: The ControllersEnhancer makes sure that an appropriate thread local version is applied.
 ie : controller.session - controller.session.current()

flash

protected static Scope.Flash flash

The current flash scope. The flash is a temporary storage mechanism that is a hash map
 You can store values associated with keys and later retrieve them.
 It has one special property: by default, values stored into the flash during the processing of a request
 will be available during the processing of the immediately following request.
 Once that second request has been processed, those values are removed automatically from the storage

 This scope is very useful to display messages after issuing a Redirect.

 Note: The ControllersEnhancer makes sure that an appropriate thread local version is applied.
 ie : controller.flash - controller.flash.current()

params

protected static Scope.Params params

The current HTTP params. This scope allows you to access the HTTP parameters supplied with the request.

 This is useful for example to know which submit button a user pressed on a form.

 Note: The ControllersEnhancer makes sure that an appropriate thread local version is applied.
 ie : controller.params - controller.params.current()

renderArgs

protected static Scope.RenderArgs renderArgs

The current renderArgs scope: This is a hash map that is accessible during the rendering phase. It means you can access
 variables stored in this scope during the rendering phase (the template phase).

 Note: The ControllersEnhancer makes sure that an appropriate thread local version is applied.
 ie : controller.renderArgs - controller.renderArgs.current()

routeArgs

protected static Scope.RouteArgs routeArgs

The current routeArgs scope: This is a hash map that is accessible during the reverse routing phase.
 Any variable added to this scope will be used for reverse routing. Useful when you have a param that you want
 to add to any route without add it expicitely to every action method.

 Note: The ControllersEnhancer makes sure that an appropriate thread local version is applied.
 ie : controller.routeArgs - controller.routeArgs.current()

validation

protected static Validation validation

The current Validation object. It allows you to validate objects and to retrieve potential validations errors for those objects.

 Note: The ControllersEnhancer makes sure that an appropriate thread local version is applied.
 ie : controller.validation - controller.validation.current()

_currentReverse

public static java.lang.ThreadLocal<Router.ActionDefinition> _currentReverse

During a protest against the President of Syria in 2011, protestors were violently suppressed. This ignited a civil war that has been raging for the past 7 years. There are many different sides in this war. To learn more about Syrian Civilian Abuse, click here! The Syrian government and their international allies are on one side. There are also groups of Sunni Arab rebels, Syrian Democratic Forces, Salafi jihadist, and the Islamic State of Iraq who are involved. Not only is Syria affected, but the countries around it are also fighting alongside them or lending support to a group.
The United Nations is the group that is in charge of setting up international laws. They have set up a series of laws that protect civilians in times of war. This has not stopped civilian abuse from happening in the Syrian War. They are being attacked, killed, go missing, or become refugees. And it is not just one group that is breaking the laws, they are all involved in different ways.
The list of ways that these laws are being broken is very long. Children, medical personnel, and hospital patients are all given special protections against violence under international law. To get more info, click read more now.These groups are being killed and tortured though in large numbers. Smaller infractions like arresting people without a cause, sending tanks into densely populated areas, and shelling civilian areas are also happening. Collective punishments (where a group is punished even if they did not participate in a crime) and the destruction and looting of property are also major problems. In some areas people are even being denied basic human essentials like food, water, and medical treatment.
Child soldiers are also being used by the rebel army. Child soldiers are a way for an army to recruit malleable and easily controlled soldiers. These children are taken from their families at a young age. In order to survive, they must participate in killing and torturing people. Because they are essentially raised with an army instead of a family, they become devout to their cause and very effective soldiers.
Minorities are also in danger right now in Syria. There are some races that are at risk, but the biggest group of minorities are Christians. People are crying out for justice to be delivered, but that situation is tricky. The International Criminal Court would be the ones who normally prosecute in these cases, but they don't have jurisdiction in Syria. The path to getting jurisdiction is long and complicated. Setting up an ad hoc tribunal of Syrian and non-Syrian participants is another complication option that might be pursued in the future.

MyCosmos started in 2013 as the company "Hemelplafond" with me Egbert Olsman and the promise to my wife Aurore Olsman to make a real Star Ceiling, because she had just a glow in the dark. A glow in the dark you only see the first 5 minutes when the light goes out. After a lot of research into all the possibilities for creating a true starry night sky ceiling, the search for a "do-it-yourself" kit past by… Unfortunately, nowhere in the world it is possible to find a kit that creates realistic stars with a big variety in size, colors or shades of white light and a large variation in brightness. All the packages have the same stars, even then onces with 2 or 3 different thicknesses of glass fibers optics are used. To spend almost 2 euros per star on a do-it-yourself kit and a lot of time building it, that then results in a big disappointment is not worth is. With over 20 years of Astronomy knowledge it became clear that I should develop a realistic star ceiling.
The situation was that I had a lot of time and money to develop a true starry night sky, so many different parts where ordered and 6 months of bizarre hard work and many, many many broken prototypes and problems, then a working prototype came to live. The first star ceilings had only two shades of white LED lights and 6 different thicknesses of fiber optics with very bright stars and weaker stars. Per square meter there were still only 30 stars and the assembly lasted 12 hours including fillers, sanding and 3 times painting. Since the beginning I have been are working full time and within the first 3 weeks that I went online with the star ceiling panels the first customers arrived. After 5 years we have grown to an international company delivering realistic custom handcrafted luxurious star ceilings all over the globe. This is the reason why we changed the name of the company from Hemelplafond to MyCosmos as a worldwide brand.
We use parts that are custom made for us and we combine the latest technology: Home Automation, Bluetooth, WiFi and free app and also remote controls which work through ceiling and walls. We have received many requests to make simple fiber optic star ceilings, but we have chosen to make only beautiful special star ceilings of the highest quality for a trouble free and maintenance free use of 20 years or more with normal use of about 5 to 7 hours. All our activities are manual "handcrafted" and every design is unique for each customer, this ensures that over the years we still make improvements in terms of design, light experience and quality, such as the backup system: all the parts are double or triple executed to ensure that the lifespan lasts up to 20 to 30 years, even if half of the LED, power supply and controller would unexpectedly fail. These are the reasons that we also serve customers worldwide with large unique seamless acoustic star ceilings in very spacious villas, of which we do not give the names for privacy reasons and unfortunately we were not allowed to take pictures. We have a range references from customers with very nice projects and possibly references in your area or near an international airport.
This year we celebrate our 5 year anniversary.

Md. Governor Orders Closure of Bars, Gyms, Theaters Amid Coronavirus Pandemic
William J. Ford – Washington Informer Staff Writer Follow on Twitter Send an email March 16, 2020

Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan issued several executive orders Monday to combat the coronavirus crisis that coincide with a recommendation from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to prohibit gatherings of more than 50 people.
The governor's directives include the closure of bars, restaurants, fitness centers and movie theaters by 5 p.m. Monday.
The orders also direct the state health department to work alongside providers to reopen closed hospitals and other health centers across the state to create an additional 6,000 beds.
Approximately 1,000 Maryland National Guard soldiers and airmen were activated to assist the crisis with another 1,200 Guardsmen ready to go.
"You're going to have to hunker down significantly more than we as a country are doing in order to fight this outbreak," Hogan said outside the governor's mansion in Annapolis. "Far too many people have continued to ignore those warnings and are crowding into bars and restaurants willingly putting the health and safety of others in grave danger. Decision-makers at the federal, state and local level are going to have to take drastic actions … but they are absolutely necessary to save hundreds of thousands of Americans."
To relieve financial burdens, the governor announced that utility and cable companies are prohibited from cutting gas, water, phone, or cable television services. Additionally, state courts aren't allowed to order the eviction of any tenant who fails to pay rent as the result of the novel coronavirus, also known as COVID-19.
Public schools superintendent Karen Salmon, who joined the press conference, said the state received a special waiver to serve three meals and a snack per day while schools are closed through March 27. Salmon said more than 100,000 meals could be served.
In Prince George's County, students can receive those meals at 25 sites starting Tuesday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. The lists of schools can be found at pgcps.org.
PGCPS CEO Monica Goldson said parents who bring their children to any of the sites can receive hard copies of assignments while at home. Teachers and administrators for the county school system, which has 82,000 students who receive free and reduced-price meals, distributed enrichment packets for students last week before the state's executive order to close at public schools.
"Parents can have additional support to make that there's no learning lost," Goldson said at a Thursday press conference with other Prince George's officials and Rep. Anthony Brown (D-Maryland) at the county's Emergency Operations Center in Landover.
As of 10 a.m. Monday, the state Health Department highlighted 37 confirmed cases. More than hours later, Prince George's County officials announced its 11th confirmation to bring the state's total number of cases to 38.
All county government buildings, libraries and Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission centers and parks are closed to the public until further notice while the state remains on a state of emergency.
Ernest Carter, the county's chief health officer, emphasized social distancing remains the key element for residents to decrease the spread of the virus. In other words, people stand at least six feet apart from each other, or stay home and watch Netflix.
"If we don't practice social distancing, then we could put our older people at risk," he said. "Prince Georgians need to focus on following the advice of public health experts and stay in their homes as much as possible. It's not going to last forever, but it's got to happen now."

I decided I wanted to become a better writer while attending Bowie State University and figured that writing for the school newspaper would help. I'm not sure how much it helped, but I enjoyed it so much I decided to keep on doing it, which I still thoroughly enjoy 20 years later. If I weren't a journalist, I would coach youth basketball. Actually, I still play basketball, or at least try to play, once a week. My kryptonite is peanut butter. What makes me happy – seeing my son and two godchildren grow up. On the other hand, a bad call made by an official during a football or basketball game makes me throw up my hands and scream. Favorite foods include pancakes and scrambled eggs which I could eat 24-7. The strangest thing that's ever happened to me, or more accurately the most painful, was when I was hit by a car on Lancaster Avenue in Philadelphia. If I had the power or money to change the world, I'd make sure everyone had three meals a day. And while I don't have a motto or favorite quote, I continue to laugh which keeps me from driving myself crazy.

    $(registerStructureWrapper).appendTo(container).hide();
    var registerWrapper = $(container).find('.content-register');
    $(registerStructure.join('')).appendTo(registerWrapper);

And I have the following code to generate a math captcha :
<?php

    public function mathCaptcha()
    {
        $sum1 = mt_rand(1,9);
        $sum2 = mt_rand(1,9);
        $sum3 = $sum1 + $sum2;
        $_SESSION['answer'] = $sum3;
       return $sum1 . ' + ' . $sum2 . ' = ';
    }

?>

My question would be can I somehow include that sum into the js generated form ? Is there a way to do that without having the form in plain html but generating it as I already do ?

"The very fact of choosing to be an artist is a kind of compromise. It enables me to belong to society while staying slightly outside" (Fabrice Gygi).
Fabrice Gygi (Geneva, 1965) began his artistic career as an adolescent with drawings he tattooed on his own body. These tattoos, which he himself considers his first engravings, are part of his formal vocabulary. They reappeared on paper in 1997, and later in the form of 25 linocuts (Viens dans ma peau). Interested in techniques and materials, his art is expressed through sculpture, engraving, video, installations, photography and performance.
While living his nomadic life (between Genevan squats and periods spent in Canada, Zurich and Vevey), Gygi has developed a protean installation-sculpture practice mainly conceived with the help of tarpaulins and wire mesh, as variations on existing functional structures, Tribune (1996), Podium (1997), Snack-mobile (1998), Vidéothèque mobile (1998). At once cabins, refuges, but also cages, these places evoke the dual feeling of protection and confinement, freedom and control. It is through the ambivalence of these structures that Gygi deconstructs and questions our society's systems of authority.
Attracted by minimal and conceptual art, he pursues his exploration of forms and materials through a broad selection of these (from steel and concrete to leather and wood), conceiving reinvented objects whose functions are always ambiguous. Placed directly on the ground, kept in a state of tension by systems of ties, or hung from chains, his installations evoke play as much as torture, lightness as much as hardness, pleasure as much as repression. In this universe both sombre and playful, which highlights mechanisms of constraint and power, Gygi shows his general rejection of the social order.
After a first solo exhibition at CNAC—Le Magasin in Grenoble, Fabrice Gygi represented Switzerland at the São Paulo Art Biennial in 2002, as well as at the 53rd Venice Biennale in 2009 with the installation Economat. In the meantime, solo exhibitions were dedicated to his work at the MAMCO (Geneva, 2004), at the Kunstmuseum St. Gallen, and in the United States (Orange County Museum of Art, Newport Beach, 2005).
