Pompeo, Mnuchin Announce Sanctions on Iran's Steel and Iron Industries, Eight Officials
Posted by Mary Chastain	Friday, January 10, 2020 at 10:30am | 1/10/2020 - 10:30am
Trump promised new sanctions that will remain in place until Iran changes its behavior.
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Secretary of Treasury Steve Mnuchin announced President Donald Trump's administration placed sanctions on Iran's textiles, mining, and iron ore sectors.
The sanctions come after Iran attacked two Iraqi military bases with American troops.
Mnuchin stated that the administration chose the eight "senior Iranian officials for their involvement and complicity in Tuesday's ballistic missile strikes."
The eight Iranian officials include " Ali Shamkhani, the Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council; Mohammad Reza Ashtiani, the Deputy Chief of Staff of Iranian armed forces; and Gholamreza Soleimani, the head of the Basij militia of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC)."
Pompeo told reporters that intelligence indicated Iran wanted to kill more Americans, which justifies the new sanctions:
"There is no doubt in my judgment as I observed the Iranian activity in the region that night, they had the full intention of killing US forces, whether that was our military folks or diplomatic folks in the region," Pompeo said.
He added: "I'm confident that the response the President has taken is appropriate. The President has said we don't want war. We want Iran to behave like a normal nation."
Pompeo also told the reporters that the government had "specific information on an imminent threat" of an attack on Americans:
"We had specific information on an imminent threat. And those threats included attacks on US embassies. Period, full stop," Pompeo told reporters.
Asked how precise the administration's intelligence of an imminent threats was, here's how Pompeo responded:
"I don't know exactly which minute. We don't know exactly which day it would have been executed. But it was very clear: Qasem Soleimani himself was plotting a broad, large-scale attack against American interests, and those attacks were imminent."

Oh no! Did they clear this through Deep State, Pelosi and Schumer first?
Told to me from an unnamed source:
John Kerry: "Ah, woe is me! where shall I fly, where find Succor from gods or men?"
notamemberofanyorganizedpolicital | January 10, 2020 at 1:26 pm
That source has lots of names!
None of which we can repeat here!
But Sunny Beach Kerry will just have to……..
TheFineReport.com | January 10, 2020 at 9:03 pm
— from kickbacks from US foreign aid for Ukraine and payoffs from the iranian mullahs. In other words, kerry finds his succor from treason.
Pasadena Phil | January 10, 2020 at 12:35 pm
Just so there is no misunderstanding regarding the scale of the threat, that US embassy is massive. About one square mile and houses about 13,000 employees. The potential loss of life is enormous. This isn't the Libyan embassy.
So it would be like preventing about a dozen Murrah Buildings in Oklhaoma City from being blown up – which Clinton didn't prevent.

Dear Mary, I think you missed the most significant part of the additional sanctions.
By EO, the president placed additional sanctions, both primary and secondary, against any individual involved with, trading with, or assisting certain sectors of the Iranian economy.
That includes the feckless EU.

Ryanair flies twice a week between Limoges and Marrakech
The low-cost airline Ryanair will offer a new seasonal connection between Limoges and Marrakech in the spring, its sixth line from the city of Haute-Vienne. Beauvais airport now welcomes two of its Boeing 737 MAX, a first in France.
From March 27 to October 26, 2022, the Irish budget flight specialist offers two flights a week between Limoges-Bellegarde airport and its base in Marrakech-Menara, operated by Boeing 737-800 with 189 seats. Departures from France are scheduled for Wednesday at 11.10 a.m. (arrival at 12.55 p.m.) and Sunday at 9.40 p.m. (arrival at 11.25 p.m.), with "return" flights leaving Morocco on Wednesday at 7.00 a.m. (arrival at 10.45 a.m.) and Sunday at 5.30 p.m. (arrival at 9.15 p.m.).
Ryanair will be without competition on this route, which is in addition to those already operated between Limoges and the United Kingdom (Bristol, East Midlands, Leeds-Bradford, London-Stansted and Manchester). Marrakech now has 38 lines, including 10 in France.
Still in France, the low cost has deployed in Beauvais-Tillé two 737-8200 (according to its own nomenclature) of 197 seats to replace the usual 737-800, the first time that its 737 MAX are based in France. In a context of "regular and intense efforts to reduce the environmental impact", Ryanair has positioned at Paris-Beauvais airport "these most efficient aircraft, in particular thanks to a fuel consumption reduced by 16% compared to Boeing 737NG aircraft, but also a noise footprint reduced by 40% or even a payload capacity increased by 4%", underlines a press release.
The airport therefore becomes the first in France where the MAX 8-200s nicknamed "Gamechanger" are based, underlining just one year after the opening of the base in December 2020 "the confidence shown by Ryanair" in Tillé where it will celebrate its 25 years of presence. The MAXs registered 9H-QEM, -VUA, -VUN and -VUS as well as the SP-RZD, in the colors of Ryanair, Malta Air and Buzz, walked the Beauvais runway on Monday according to Flightradar24.
Jason McGuinness, Chief Commercial Officer of Ryanair, said: "We are delighted to extend our long-standing partnership with Paris-Beauvais Airport, which will see our two currently based aircraft replaced by two new 737-8200 'Gamechanger' aircraft. 'more respectful of the environment (…). This not only reinforces Ryanair's commitment to France, but also our continued leadership in sustainable aviation as the greenest and cleanest airline in Europe."
Caroline Cayeux, President of the Syndicat Mixte de l'Aéroport Beauvais-Tillé (SMABT), added: "The communities that own the airport support all the efforts undertaken to reduce its carbon and noise footprint. This strategic choice by Ryanair marks the recognition of the work accomplished by the airport and its confidence in the attractiveness of our territory. The SMABT is proud of this commitment which responds to its desire to focus on the quality of our environment".
Michel Peiffer, Chairman of the Management Board of Société Aéroportuaire de Gestion et d'Exploitation de Beauvais (SAGEB), concluded: "Paris-Beauvais airport appreciates Ryanair's environmental commitment, which is in line with our desire to significantly improve the footprint of our activity. This respectful partnership leads to beneficial results for all. This is a virtuous and concrete example which encourages the SAGEB teams in the substantial efforts undertaken over the past two years, and which will be intensified, to achieve environmental neutrality".

Deputy Foreign Minister Tzipi Hotovely gave her planned speech at Princeton University on Monday night. However, it was Chabad who hosted her after the Princeton Hillel canceled the event due to a progressive group's petition.
Webb opened the event by telling attendees about his trips to Israel over the years. "I have met with many types of people and had untold numbers of conversations. Sometimes they soothe me. Other times they are upsetting. Or thought provoking.
The cancellation came after the Alliance of Jewish Progressives, a campus group, circulated a petition calling Hotovely a racist because she opposes a Palestinian state, supports settlements. The petition cited a specific example of her criticizing Joint List MKs for supporting a UNESCO resolution that denied Israel's connection to the Temple Mount, and called Judaism's holiest site by its Islamic name, "Haram al-Sharif," or the "Noble Sanctuary" in Arabic.
This is not the first time Chabad has hosted a pro-Israel event that was canceled due to pressure from progressive groups.
Last month, Stanford University's Hillel canceled an event on the day it was supposed to take place, featuring a Reservists on Duty group of Christians, Muslims and Beduin talking about their life as minorities in Israel. The local Chabad hosted the event, instead.
In addition, Chabad hosted a controversial event at the University of California, Berkeley, School of Law titled "The Liberal Case for Israel," which was to be addressed by noted Israel advocate Prof. Alan Dershowitz and was in danger of being canceled.

Q: Invalid hook call when trying to fetch data using useCallback I'm trying to call useState inside an async function like:
const [searchParams, setSearchParams] = useState({});

const fetchData = () => useCallback(
    () => {
      if (!isEmpty(searchParams)) {
        setIsLoading(true); // this is a state hook
        fetchData(searchParams)
          .then((ids) => {
            setIds(ids); // Setting the id state here
          }).catch(() => setIsLoading(false));
      }
    },
    [],
  );

There are two states I am trying to set inside this fetchData function (setIsLoading and setIds), but whenever this function is executed am getting the error:

Uncaught Error: Invalid hook call. Hooks can only be called inside of the body of a function component. This could happen for one of the following reasons:
  1. You might have mismatching versions of React and the renderer (such as React DOM)
  2. You might be breaking the Rules of Hooks
  3. You might have more than one copy of React in the same app

What is this Rule of hooks I am breaking here?
Is there any way around to set these states from the function?
PS: I only used the useCallback hook here for calling this function with lodash/debounce
Edit: The function is called inside useEffect like:
const debouncedSearch = debounce(fetchSearchData, 1000); // Is this the right way to use debounce? I think this is created every render.

const handleFilter = (filterParams) => {
    setSearchParams(filterParams);
};

useEffect(() => {
    console.log('effect', searchParams); // {name: 'asd'}
    debouncedSearch(searchParams); // Tried without passing arguments here as it is available in state.
// But new searchParams are not showing in the `fetchData`. so had to pass from here.
}, [searchParams]);

A: The hook rule you are breaking concerns useCallback because you are returning it as the result of your fetchData;
useCallback should be called on top level; not in a callback, like this:
const fetchData = useCallback(
    () => {
      if (!isEmpty(searchParams)) {
        setIsLoading(true); // this is a state hook
        fetchData(searchParams)
          .then((ids) => {
            setIds(ids); // Setting the id state here
          }).catch(() => setIsLoading(false));
      }
    },
    [],
  );

The code you wrote is equivalent to
const fetchData = () => { return React.useCallback(...
or even
function fetchData() { return React.useCallback(...
To read more about why you can't do this, I highly recommend this blog post.
edit:
To use the debounced searchParams, you don't need to debounce the function that does the call, but rather debounce the searched value. (and you don't actually the fetchData function that calls React.useCallback at all, just use it directly in your useEffect)
I recommend using this useDebounce hook to debounce your search query
const [searchParams, setSearchParams] = React.useState('');
const debouncedSearchParams = useDebounce(searchParams, 300);// let's say you debounce using a delay of 300ms

React.useEffect(() => {
  if (!isEmpty(debouncedSearchQuery)) {
        setIsLoading(true); // this is a state hook
        fetchData(debouncedSearchParams)
          .then((ids) => {
            setIds(ids); // Setting the id state here
          }).catch(() => setIsLoading(false));
      }
}, [debouncedSearchParams]); // only call this effect again if the debounced value changes

Amnesty International says a Saudi human rights activist has been sentenced to nine years in prison on charges related to his civil rights activities.
The London-based rights organization said on Sunday that Saudi Arabia's Specialized Criminal Court passed the ruling on Issa al-Hamid, adding that he is also banned from foreign trips for another nine years.
Al-Hamid is a senior member of the Saudi Association for Civil and Political Rights (HASEM). The court found him guilty of instigating people to violate public order, insulting the judiciary, defaming a number of senior religious figures and establishing an unlicensed organization.
Amnesty said the court ruling was part of a wider "ruthless onslaught against civil society" by officials in Saudi Arabia.
Several members of HASEM are also serving similar prison sentences.
Riyadh has long been under fire at the international level for its grim human rights record.
On Friday, the UN torture committee called on Riyadh to stop physical punishment and abuse of bloggers, activists and human rights lawyers in Saudi prisons.
Felice Gaer, a committee member, said a "significant number" of suspects had been tortured into making confessions by the Saudi regime.
In January, Amnesty's deputy director for the Middle East and North Africa James Lynch said the human rights situation in Saudi Arabia had worsened significantly over the past year.
"More and more human rights defenders are being sentenced to years in prison under Saudi Arabia's 2014 counter-terror law, while its allies shamelessly back the kingdom's repression in the name of the so-called 'war on terror'," he said.
Saudi Arabia's top appeals court approves a controversial death sentence for an activist.
The UN calls on Saudi Arabia to stop physical punishment, including flogging and amputations, in the country.
The Saudi Supreme Court reportedly approves the execution of prominent Shia cleric Sheikh Nimr al-Nimr.
A Saudi court has upheld the 10-year prison and a 1000-lash sentence handed down to Saudi blogger, Raif Badawi.

Q: onClick method inside RecyclerView not working after NestedScrollView scrolled I checked this stackoverflow question cause it's very similar, but the Google's bug have been fixed in current versions, but I still having the problem.
I have an RecyclerView inside a NestedScrollView, after NestedScrollView scrolled if I click on item inside RecyclerView, onClick method does not work propertly.
Can anyone help me? Thanks

A: Okey, I found the solution here, we need:
public class FixAppBarLayoutBehavior extends AppBarLayout.Behavior {

public FixAppBarLayoutBehavior() {
    super();
}

public FixAppBarLayoutBehavior(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
    super(context, attrs);
}

@Override
public void onNestedScroll(CoordinatorLayout coordinatorLayout, AppBarLayout child, View target,
                           int dxConsumed, int dyConsumed, int dxUnconsumed, int dyUnconsumed, int type) {
    super.onNestedScroll(coordinatorLayout, child, target, dxConsumed, dyConsumed,
            dxUnconsumed, dyUnconsumed, type);
    stopNestedScrollIfNeeded(dyUnconsumed, child, target, type);
}

@Override
public void onNestedPreScroll(CoordinatorLayout coordinatorLayout, AppBarLayout child,
                              View target, int dx, int dy, int[] consumed, int type) {
    super.onNestedPreScroll(coordinatorLayout, child, target, dx, dy, consumed, type);
    stopNestedScrollIfNeeded(dy, child, target, type);
}

private void stopNestedScrollIfNeeded(int dy, AppBarLayout child, View target, int type) {
    if (type == ViewCompat.TYPE_NON_TOUCH) {
        final int currOffset = getTopAndBottomOffset();
        if ((dy < 0 && currOffset == 0)
                || (dy > 0 && currOffset == -child.getTotalScrollRange())) {
            ViewCompat.stopNestedScroll(target, ViewCompat.TYPE_NON_TOUCH);
        }
    }
}

}
and, in our AppBarLayout:
        <android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>
         ...
        app:layout_behavior="your.package.FixAppBarLayoutBehavior"
         ...
        </android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>

A: Your RecyclerView shouldn't permit nested scrolling, so it must have nestedScrollingEnabled="false"
<androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"

It will reopen on Monday
Olimpia ZagnatSenior Reporter
Inside The Lord Ted pub in Newark (Image: Greene King)
A Nottinghamshire pub is set to reopen its doors after a major revamp. The Lord Ted in Newark will welcome customers on Monday, November 28.
It comes after the pub on Farndon Road has undergone a major revamp to modernise the Greene King Pub & Carvery site. Inside the pub, customers will find a fully refreshed décor with a new colour scheme, furniture and furnishings.
The restaurant has been given a contemporary upgrade to create a bright and inviting atmosphere for customers, while the bar area has been enlarged to add more sports viewing areas. The sports area now boasts a brand-new audio system and a total of seven screens - so prospective customers can experience live sports in all areas of the pub.

Customers can enjoy a fresh carvery, as well as other food options and drinks. alongside a variety of other food and drink menu. Visitors will be able to download the Greene King Season Ticket app to get 10 per cent off drinks.
The outdoor space received an upgrade earlier this year, seeing an expansion and the addition of four covered and heated pods. The outdoor sports offering was also enhanced with the addition of a large outdoor TV and speakers, allowing fans to watch live sports outdoors all year round.
Simon Keane, General Manager of the Lord Ted said: "The Lord Ted has something for everyone, and we're excited to show off our new and improved sports and dining set up to both old and new customers, just in time for the football frenzy and festive season. We are celebrating two special anniversaries this year at the Lord Ted; 25-years since the pub was first build and 5-years operating as a Pub & Carvery, so the refurbishment couldn't have come at a better time!"

NYS Division Of Human Rights
New York State Division of Human Rights (the "NYSDHR") is a state agency responsible for investigation of discrimination complaints on the state level. NYSDHR has a Work Sharing Agreement with the EEOC and as such whenever the complaint is filed with EEOC it is also filed with the NYS Division of Human Rights.
What is the difference between the NYS Division Of Human Rights and the EEOC? The main difference if that first one is the state agency and another one is the federal agency. The second distinction is in the procedure how the case is being handled if filed with the agency, and the consequences of dismissal of claims or charges. If the EEOC finds that the charging party does not have sufficient cause of action, the individual may still proceed in Federal court and bring state law based charges as well. If New York State Division of Human Rights rendered a negative determination, the state causes of action will be lost in most situations.
Currently, while the EEOC opts out for mediation more often, NYSDHR proposes hearings with an administrative judge. There are other differences in between the two organizations as well, the main would be their jurisdiction. The NYS Division Of Human Rights has a broader jurisdiction because NY State law protects broader groups of individuals than the Federal law. For example, NY State law provides protections to those who believe they have been discriminated or retaliated against based on their age, creed, race, color, sex, sexual orientation, national origin, marital status, disability, military status, domestic violence victim status, arrest record, conviction record, predisposing genetic characteristics, and familial status (in housing only). In addition, NYSDHR has jurisdiction over workplace harassment for domestic workers. Unlawful harassment includes sexual harassment, as well as harassment on the basis of gender, race, religion, or national origin. Domestic workers are also protected from retaliation by their employers for complaining of such harassment.

Ayesha Curry has a cool trick for getting her kids to eat their veggies Host Ayesha Curry is heading to TV this summer for ABC's 'Family Food Fight.'

Check out this story on USATODAY.com: https://www.usatoday.com/story/life/tv/2019/06/19/ayesha-curry-new-show-family-food-fight-steph-currys-faves/1493416001/
Bill Keveney, USA TODAY Published 11:09 a.m. ET June 19, 2019 | Updated 5:44 p.m. ET June 20, 2019
Ayesha Curry recalls the first meals she and her NBA husband cooked for each other. Her baked chicken was tasty. His dish? Not so much. (Sept. 27) AP
Chef, restaurateur and cookbook author Ayesha Curry is expanding her culinary empire with ABC's "Family Food Fight," an eight-episode summer series (Thursday, 9 EDT/PDT) that features diverse, multi-generational teams competing for the title of "America's No. 1 Food Family" and a $100,000 prize.
Curry, 30, who serves as executive producer, host and judge, is joined by renowned chefs Cat Cora and Graham Elliot on the show, which premieres after the first episode of "Holey Moley," an extreme miniature golf competition produced by her husband, Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry.
Curry, who is raising three young children, Riley, 6, Ryan 3, and Canon, almost 1, with her husband, speaks to USA TODAY about her new show, cooking for and with her family and how she copes with the limelight.
Question: What makes "Family Food Fight" stand out in a big field of TV cooking competitions?
Ayesha Curry: It's just this big melting pot of diversity and I think it's a perfect representation of what America truly is... The show is multi-generational, everything from brothers and sisters-in-law to a mom and her daughters to a mom and her sons, so many different combinations of what families look like.

Q: Does that result in varied dishes?
Curry: Absolutely. Different spices, flavors and sauces. Pretty incredible. Their pantries look very different from one another.
Q: Are there any literal food fights?
Curry: People aren't throwing food at each other, but they're definitely throwing around some verbal tension. Endless amounts of trash talking.

Q: At home, do you cook as a family?
Curry: All the time. I've had my oldest – she's now almost seven – in the kitchen since she was old enough to sit on the counter by herself. My biggest message is: "Cook with your kids." It gives them confidence. It builds relationships. There are studies that show that if you cook with kids and give them a task, they're more apt to try whatever it is they had a hand in making. That's how I get my kids to eat their veggies.
Q: Does your husband cook?
Curry: Occasionally. It's so cute. He has one thing he makes really well. It's 5-ingredient pasta and if I'm sick or exhausted, he volunteers to cook it. I know I'm getting something super simple but delicious – bell pepper, basil, parmesan, egg noodles and some pancetta that gets rendered off so the fat covers all the noodles – so yummy. It's either that or burnt toast, so I'll take the pasta all day.

Q: Do you make anything special for him?
Curry: He's always requesting one of two things, either my chicken parm, which is your classic Italian chicken parm. I make my own breading, so that's what makes it special. And I do a spiced chicken with parsley-mint sauce. He loves that.
Q: Are you two competitive regarding your shows?
Curry: Heck, yeah, I'm going to be competitive. People better tune into "Family Food Fight" so we can have a little ratings battle. … But at the end of the day, he's the opening act. His show comes on at 8, mine at 9. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
Won't Back Down: Ayesha Curry roasts a troll who told her to 'stay in the kitchen,' and defends her 'voice'

Q: After your appearance on Jada Pinkett Smith's "Red Table Talk," you received criticism but then a lot of support (after comments about feeling self-doubt over lack of attention from men as women flock toward her NBA superstar husband). How do you deal with people's responses?
Curry: You've got to take the good with the bad and realize a lot of times people aren't getting a grasp on the whole story. Things often get compartmentalized and a lot of people pick and choose what they want to receive from a message. I think a lot of that was misconstrued and reformatted to make it look like something it wasn't. But it is what it is. It happens to the best of us.
Spousal Support: Stephen Curry praises Ayesha following her 'Red Table Talk' confession: 'Keep being you'
Q: Many people admire your honesty, but that means you put yourself out there.
Curry: That's true. I don't have much of a filter (laughs).
Honest Talk: Ayesha Curry opens up postpartum, 'rash' plastic surgery decision
Q: Now that the NBA season is over, do you all get to relax a little?
Curry: It's so funny. Our off-seasons tend to be a little busier than the (basketball) season, but we've definitely put away some time for a little vacation and family time and just spending good quality time with our kids, so we're excited about that.

Leading International Groups Condemn UK Plans For Statutory Regulation
To the Honorable Members of Parliament:
The Coordinating Committee of Press Freedom Organizations, made up of leading international groups that defend and promote the freedom and independence of the media worldwide, has noted that Lord Justice Leveson has published the Report that the government of the United Kingdom requested him to produce, after a lengthy Inquiry into the culture, practices and ethics of the British press and that this report recommends that the United Kingdom establish a statutory regime to regulate the country's press.
The report does not consider the signal that the creation of such a draconian regime would -- if implemented -- send to the rest of the world, especially to governments in Commonwealth countries, where the example set by the United Kingdom is so influential.
An example of how such an approach would favor worrisome press controls abroad has just been produced by the European Union. A high-level panel mandated by the European Commission has recommended that all 27-member countries should institute media councils with broad powers, amongst other things, to decree "the removal of journalistic status."
The Coordinating Committee of Press Freedom Organizations consequently calls upon the Members of the British Parliament to reject any form of statutory control or any other legislation concerning regulation of the British press and to recognise that any such measures would have a "chilling effect" on the robust practice of investigative journalism.
The Committee's member groups also urge the British executive to respect the independence of the British press, and to reject recommendations that would allow the State to grant official recognition to any such form of regulation. The Committee also urges the government to consider the grave implications any statute affecting the British press would have across the world.
The Committee expresses its warm appreciation for the British government's highly useful programmes to support and encourage free and independent news media globally and -- once statutory press regulation has been rejected -- looks forward to continuation of the work of the UK Department for International Development and the Foreign and Commonwealth Office in the field of media assistance and development.
Respectfully, the Coordinating Committee of Press Freedom Organizations,

Dear Diary, Why Was I So Pathetic?
This month, Netflix is asking me what my daughters have learned by watching Netflix. Apparently, they think that learning stops when you become a middle aged blogger. To which I say, learning never ends, Netflix! And I have my little red friend to thank for me being less stupid than I was four years ago when this whole amazing streaming ride began! **I wasn't referring to my period in the above sentence. What have you learned from Netflix?

Q: Acceptance Test Driven development of a service with several clients I have a question related to acceptance test driven development (ATDD). My application is developed as a REST Service which might have several clients - web site, mobile, desktop. The ATDD concept says that I should start every feature with an end-to-end test. Since my service might have several client applications (ends) providing the same use-cases, what approach should I use when writing the acceptance tests? Should the acceptance test take as input the direct request to REST service or the client app? Or both? I understand that if my acceptance tests start from REST request, I'm omitting the client part, which is definitely not ok. If these start from client, I will repeat basically the same functional tests for every client. I need to find an approach that stays somewhere in the middle of these edges.

A: As @bcarlso suggests, you can write acceptance tests in terms of the business rules, so they're not specific to one particular platform.
Using these specifications to test each sceario, end-to-end, across each platform is certainly possible, and many organisations do this. But your likely to end with a very large, slow test suite, which will difficult to maintain.
Cucumber and similar tools ATDD don't mandate that you test end-to-end. You can use them to verify behaviour in something as focused as a single method in one class.
Focus yours efforts writing good unit tests that will catch the vast majority of defects before integration. Don't rely on automated acceptance tests to be the QA for a poor development process. Use a small number of high-level end-to-end tests to test the main success paths through the app.
There is a trade-off here: Some integration-related issues may slip through the net. Perform root cause analysis and try to determine how can you avoid similar defects in future. Add additional tests at the appropriate level. Just don't let your project drown in its own test suite.

A: When practicing ATDD, I consider the acceptance tests just another user interface. With that being said, I would test below the UI at the business layer. Assuming I have a feature:
Given I have an addend of 5
and an augend of 3
When I calculate the sum
Then I should receive 8

When implementing this test, my seam would be at the business layer. Assuming a Java/Spring type application my test would look something like:
@Given("I have an addend of (\\d+)")
public void addend(int addend) { this.addend = addend; }

@Given("I have an augend of (\\d+)")
public void augend(int augend) { this.augend = augend; }

@When("I calculate the sum")
public void calculate() {
    calculator = applicationContext.getBean(ScientificCalculator.class);
    actualResult = calculator.sum(addend, augend);
}

@Then("I should receive (\\d+)")
public void verifyResult(int result) { assertEquals(result, this.actualResult); }

Once I've developed the business logic behind the ScientificCalculator and all of the test scenarios pass, I know that the application does what it needs to do from a functional perspective. Because this completely bypasses the UI, there is no need to duplicate the tests for each UI. The UI now becomes completely void of business rules (a good thing) and you can put an XML, JSON, HTML, whatever UI you want on the front. Assuming we were using Spring MVC, the controller would be as simple as something like:
@GET("calculate/sum/{addend}/{augend}")
public void addSomeNumbers(String addend, String augend) {
    result = calculator.sum(Integer.parseInt(addend), Integer.parseInt(augend));
    // Render the view with the result.
}

Would I test the UI at all? Probably. But not nearly as thoroughly because the primary business rules are covered by the existing tests and, generally speaking, UI bugs are a bit lower risk and easier to fix than misunderstood or mis-implemented business logic.
Hope that helps!

anyone speak spanish? ....i don't know what to think of this video.... .... any thoughts?
Soon after the astronauts from the Apollo XI landed they notice an alien precense located behind a nearby Hill, According to this pseudo documentary, when they were getting ready to record it on film the sighted beings and objects immediately disappeared.
Juan Jose Benitez use to work in the 70s as a reuters reporter from Spain, during those years he heard about a fascinating news of a contacted from Peru called Sixto Paz Wells, he was sent to Peru to investigate and interview him which resulted in a catapult of fame for him, mainly due to the writting of his first book on this story "SOS to humanity" which narrates the close encounter with the ETs beings which Sixto Paz had access to, includding traveling to outer space.
This you tube video maybe a plant on the Internet by the producers to milk any remaining revenues for Gonzalo López-Gallego's film 'Apollo 18'.
The film earned 21 million since it's release on September 2, 2011. Considered a success for a film made with a budget of 5 million. After it's first week in release revenues began to plummet as critical reviews and word got out how very boring the film was.
I suspect this and other You Tube videos are routinely pre-planted to manipulate public interest for the box office before a film's release. How do you feel about being constantly manipulated to buy a movie ticket to a film with a lame story idea already in the ICU before it's released?
Instead of beating a dead horse. Why not pay screen writers better instead? How about a good story and some competent film makers to do the story right instead?
Lies, a boring film. Filmed in Vancouver as many films are these days to get around Unions and film quickly on the cheap. Vancouver is a beautiful city. The film weeks later now hopefully forgotten. No wonder few saw it. No lights on the moon, I think they saw a 'flash in the pan'.
They filmed 'The Day the Earth Stood still" in Vancouver too. A remake of a awesome classic film. How can such incompetent film people be so well financed to produce such terrible forgettable films? I'm glad I never bought tickets to any of these films.
I guess I am angry because film makers see the many weirdo sad conspiracy people, and think money!
The Moon Express lunar lander -- seen here in an undated artist's illustration -- weighs in at just under 200 pounds (90 kg).
The moon is made of far more valuable stuff than green cheese. And one man wants to capitalize on that fact.
NASA, which ended America's space shuttle program in June, says it wants to privatize spaceflight. Naveen Jain, co-founder and chairman of Moon Express, Inc., wants to go a step further: He wants to privatize the moon itself.
Jain's company plans to piggyback on private shuttle flights, using them to carry his lunar landers and mining platforms to the moon.
"People ask, why do we want to go back to the moon? Isn't it just barren soil?" Jain told FoxNews.com. "But the moon has never been explored from an entrepreneurial perspective."
Our nearest neighbor in the sky holds a ransom in precious minerals, Jain explained: Twenty times more titanium and platinum than anywhere on earth, not to mention helium 3, a rare isotope of helium that many feel could be the future of energy on Earth and in space.
His company, which calls itself MoonEx, was awarded a contract as part of NASA's $10 million Innovative Lunar Demonstration Data (ILDD) program, and is shooting for the $30 million Google Lunar X Prize as well. Jain believes the NASA contract will allow his company to start mining operations on the moon, something he says MoonEx can do as soon as 2013.
In other words, the moon's resources are essentially waiting to be claimed -- all you need is a way to get there.
In June of this year, MoonEx's lunar lander successfully completed a flight test at the Hover Test Facility in NASA's Ames Research Center, according to the facility's quarterly magazine.
"The end of the shuttle program wasn't the end of the moon mission, it was simply passing the baton from the public to the private sector," Jain told FoxNews.com.
From the Moon to Energy and Education?
Jain -- a billionaire who made his fortunes first with Microsoft, then with dotcom-era yellow page site InfoSpace Inc. -- believes in the power of creative thinking. In addition to MoonEx, he's the CEO of information-services company Intelius and co-chair of education and global development at the X Prize Foundation.
"To have the biggest impact, you have to solve the problem as an entrepreneur," Jain told FoxNews.com, summarizing a speech he gave Monday in New York at Pivotcon 2011, a conference on the rise of social media.
"We want to solve the problem of energy on Earth by using the moon as the eighth continent," he told FoxNews.com.
And it's not as hard as you might think. The highest expense lies in getting to the moon, he explained. Going from the surface of the moon into orbit is easy. And a solar sail can drive a capsule containing mined resources back to earth orbit and down to the surface.
"It's rocket science but it's well understood rocket science," he said.
I don't think they should mine anything from the Moon. They have screwed the Earth up enough already. The last thing we need is a scarred and polluted Moon with an angry man in the moon looking down at us.
NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter science team released the highest resolution near-global topographic map of the moon ever created. This new topographic map shows the surface shape and features over nearly the entire moon with a pixel scale close to 328 feet.
Although the moon is Earth's closest neighbor, knowledge of its morphology is still limited. Due to the limitations of previous missions, a global map of the moon's topography at high resolution has not existed until now. With LRO's Wide Angle Camera and the Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimeter instrument, scientists can now accurately portray the shape of the entire moon at high resolution.
What do the different colors mean? Am I correct in assuming that the red is the highest elevation and the dark blue is the lowest?
Wouldn't it be cool if the Moon really was that color?
Sky, that's what a topographic map is. It shows the different elevations.
Perhaps answers you seek to the meaning of the colors can be found here.
Total Lunar Eclipse This Weekend—Last One Until 2014Saturday event will paint full moon red.
This weekend sky-watchers across most of the globe will have the chance to watch at least some of the last total lunar eclipse until 2014.
The entire lunar eclipse will be visible in East Asia, Australia, and the far western portion of North America that includes Alaska and Canada's Yukon and Northwest Territories. The spectacle will last nearly three and a half hours, starting on Saturday at 4:45 a.m. Pacific Time.
Totality—when the full moon will be completely blocked from direct sunlight—will start at 6:05 a.m. PT and last until 6:57 a.m. PT.
Part of the eclipse will be visible in Europe and Africa at moonrise, in the evening, said Raminder Singh Samra, an astronomer at the H.R. MacMillan Space Centre in Vancouver, Canada.
"Meanwhile, observers across the Pacific region of North America will get to see the sky show low in the western horizon at moonset, in the early morning," he said.
Watch a live video feed of the total lunar eclipse from the Slooh SpaceCamera. Live broadcast starts at 5:00 a.m. PT on Saturday.
Lunar eclipses can occur only when the full moon, Earth, and the sun are aligned so that the moon crosses through Earth's shadow.
Due to the moon's tilted orbit around Earth, lunar eclipses happen only a few times a year, Samra said. The eclipse can be full or partial, depending on how much of the lunar disk falls in our planet's shadow.
Rather than going completely dark, the moon takes on a deep reddish hue during a total lunar eclipse.
"As the entire moon passes through the Earth's shadow cast by the sun in space, sunlight scattering off our planet's dusty atmosphere and subsequently reflecting off the surface of the moon will make it appear to change color," Samra said.
Expect to see the lunar disk go from dark grey during the partial phase to reddish-orange during totality, he said.
A pit in Mare Ingenii, possibly the result of a collapsed lava tube. Natural tunnels like this would be ideal sites for an Earth or alien moon base, according to Paul Davies of Arizona State University (see post above).
In 2009, the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) lunar orbiter, Kaguya, spotted a big hole in the moon - sixty five meters across and at least eighty meters deep shown above, and potentially part of a much larger "lava tube."
These hark back to the moon's youth when there was still hot stuff and surface volcanic activity. It's possible for a flow of molten rock to encase itself as the outside cools and hardens into a crust. Normally the whole thing eventually solidifies, but sometimes the tube of rock empties as the hot lava flows out of the shell it left behind.
Such subsurface tunnels would be extraordinarily useful for off-wold habitation: the rocky roof forms natural radiation shielding (one thing most people forget is that empty space really wants to kill you, or if it doesn't, it's extremely careless with cosmic ray levels), and a large tube is an excellent shell for constructing a compartmentalized base.
Of course there are problems: a hundred thousand kilometers away isn't a great place for cave exploration (just ask a Star Trek redshirt), and a seleneological spelunking accident is a guaranteed fatality. Another problems with pits formed by molten rock is they can be blocked pretty much anywhere by extremely solid non-molten rock. For now, the work will be to confirm if this lunar lacuna really is part of a suspected sub-surface tunnel, or some other excavation. But then we can work on how we're going to move in.
That's cool. I didn't know there were any caves on the Moon. It doesn't look like any collapsed lava tube though. I've been in a lot of the lava tubes in Hawaii, as well as some in New Mexico and Idaho, and they don't look anything at all like that photo. That looks more like it was an old lava flow that solidified at the surface and the lava underneath dropped down a little bit as it cooled off so there is a space between the hard rock below and the surface. Then some giant asteroid must have come flying along and punched a hole right through.
If the theory I just came up with is correct then there would be a huge cavern right there underneath the surface...big enough to hide an entire city in!
It reminds me of that book I read called "The First Men in the Moon" where the aliens were living inside the Moon and they had built huge tunnels with trap doors that could be opened to the surface. That is probably what one of them would have looked like.
She hangs there nightly, a yellow or white or spookily orange disk, the bringer of tides, the caster of romantic shadows. She waxes and wanes and sometimes she turns ruddy as the shadow of the Earth crosses her face. For all her beauty, though, our moon hides a lumpy, unflattering secret: She's lopsided. Her backside is much thicker than her front. And no one knows why.
It's unseemly, really. After more than 100 robotic and human missions to the moon, scientists still can't account for why one half — the half we can't see — is taller than the other.
Twin NASA probes that arrived at our satellite this weekend may finally reveal a shocking truth: that early on, a smaller twin moon smushed into her. As this intruder splatted into its big sister, it shattered "like a mega-avalanche," said Erik Asphaug, the planetary scientist at the University of California at Santa Cruz who published the twin-moon idea in the journal Nature in August. His co-author was Martin Jutzi of the University of Bern in Switzerland.
This collision would have spread a wide hump of rock onto the back of the moon. There, the material cooled and hardened into a thick crust: the far-side lunar highlands.
NASA photographer Lauren Harnett captured images of the moon at the exact moment that the space station passed across its face in what scientists call a "transit."
Harnett took the photos on Wednesday (Jan. 4) from NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston. She then combined several images into a composite view that shows the space station just before and after it crossed the moon's disk.
Multiple images of the International Space Station flying over the Houston area have been combined into one composite image to show the progress of the station as it crossed the face of the moon in the early evening of Jan. 4, 2012.
The International Space Station can be seen as a small object in lower right of this image of the moon in the early evening Jan. 4 in the skies over the Houston area flying at an altitude of 390.8 kilometers (242.8 miles).
It looks like a Tie Fighter from Star Wars.
Why is no one allowed to the moon? why wont Nasa go to the moon anymore? obviously there is a ton of stuff up there to discover and study but not go? You want to know why? because on the Dark Side of the moon Alien beings are residing and when Nasa went there they told Nasa to get lost, this is our territory and if they came back then there will be problems, The last i heard about any trips to the moon i think some Military agency or something said they were going to send a Nuke to the moon to blow of a chuck of the surface to see whats underneath, but could they not do that with Modern technology, Xrays, Scans and so on?? and dont forget we could do it today with our Modern Technology and from what i hear from people, The military is atleast 20 or 30 years advanced when it comes to techno Gadgets. Some people say it was the US taking a stand and trying to take it back from the beings, even though the aliens were prob there way before we were.
But what do u guys think? even though the way i wrote it, it sounds like thats what i believe, I am not entirely convinced as of yet, But the evidence i have researched shows it could be very possible. Let me see if i can find some online sources.
I don't know, dude. We have spacecraft and probes circling the Moon and taking photos...even of the far side. If there were any aliens there wouldn't their smiling gray faces be on film by now?
hi aaron its nice to hear from you again.... didn't you get engaged the last time we heard from you?
Skywalker, Well not entirely, Im sure NASA is taking plenty of images of the Moon, But i dont think they would be sharing much of it with us, I guess your not a believer of the Moon Structures?? There is alot of talk going around but i dont know if its peoples personal Theories and Opinions or is from certain reliable sources or what not, But worth looking into i think.
Lorelei, Im more then certain NASA knows whats going on, Apparently NASA was first created to be a civilian organisation because the world decided that space would belong to the world and not a certain government and Military, But who are they kidding, We all know that NASA is an Agency connected to the Government and Military.
Auntym, Hello my friend, I did get engaged, was quite quick in popping the question, but it feels so right, We have only been together for a year on Jan 11th, But we know its right.
I feel the same, Why not a Moon Base, They always spoke about it and were very keen do get started, But like some people say, They were warned to keep away, Some sources believe that the Moon is actually a Hollow Artificial Moon that was pulled here into place by an alien race who had a hand in our Evolution/Creation.
The Space Station is a vital part of our space exploration and is a must need essential but By building a moon base that would really boost our Space Exploration capabilities. But how difficult would it be? I think last i heard the moon was about 250,000 Miles from Earth. Would have the crafts to haul it all the way there and make on going trips to keep building it like the SS? Well personally i think, Of Course we can do it, Build bit by bit and one day we will have a great re fueling depot for when we head to Mars in 2030.
But when it comes down to it, I think i believe about the theory of being warned off the moon, Maybe that is the Alien Base who watch and study us? I watched a doco a few nights ago that said us as a human race are gaining technology that is way to advanced for level of evolution and understanding, They say that Alien Races are watching us because they fear we will blow ourselves up and destroy ourselves i think is quite possible too.
I imagine the cost of a moon base would be astronomical what with shuttles ferrying the needed equipment and our budget already being somewhere in the dirt. Other races (upon discovery and they too have telescopes & satellites) would be certain it's an act of aggression and respond accordingly.
It looks like a tin can to me ;D . Especially in the first photo.
Would I have thought this was a "ufo" passing in front of the moon had I not been told what it was? No, I would have thought "space debris".
However, I think the public holding telescopes have gotten re-interested in our moon, and something may have been put in place with us not aware.
The alien idea? It makes sense to have a "base" close(er?) to our Earth with out worrying about always staying out of view. If there is, the "aliens" may also warn off "other aliens" and not just us . Lots of speculation about every being (including us) having secret bases, and where they are.
Now, the sink hole. Suppose we do have images of the entire structure of the moon, and we got lucky about where we landed . Land in the wrong place, and oops! no stability for taking off. So, let's not risk government equipment, but get some private company to shore things up, and THEN we'll start going to the moon again officially. IMO, this "sink hole picture" could also be a fake.
Whatever is going on up there, knowing that we now can airbrush and computer enhance/change many things, it's going to be a waiting game.
Personally, I like thinking that the moon is untouched. A serene rock. We have a "base" right here, and space stations that we can link up to with other ships/stations. I wish there was nothing on the moon we can use.
I like the idea of the Moon remaining untouched. there are people who want to mine it, build things on it, blow it up...can't we just leave one thing in the universe alone without destroying or polluting it?
Jokelly, I could imagine the cost of a base, and yes i think the price would certainly put a big dent in the countries bank account. Especially during a time of a hectic economic crisis. I think in the future it would be a great next step for humanity and even have a resort up there for obviously only the Rich and Elite of the world but until then we can only just hope.
I also like the idea of the moon being untouched and the thought of Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong being the first people to touch the moon is a great feeling. But if they were the first people there wouldnt there be more interest of heading up there and doing more research? Its a head shaking subject i think.

A year ago today, the legendary Stuart Freeborn, passed away. He has been referred to as the "grandfather of modern make-up design" and is perhaps best known for his work on the original Star Wars trilogy, most notably the design and fabrication of Yoda and Jabba The Hut.
Stuart was already a makeup legend when he started on Star Wars. He brought with him not only decades of experience, but boundless creative energy. His artistry and craftsmanship will live on forever in the characters he created. His Star Wars creatures may be reinterpreted in new forms by new generations, but at their heart, they continue to be what Stuart created for the original films.
Freeborn's earliest work in the film industry was designing the hair and make-up worn by Alec Guinness, while at Denham Studios as Fagin in Oliver Twist. Freeborn's most famous work is creating the make-up for all of the characters in the Star Wars trilogy, including Chewbacca and Yoda; he based Yoda on his own face and partly on Albert Einstein. He oversaw the design of the original Jabba the Hutt puppet used in Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi, as well as the creation of the Ewoks.
Freeborn was also the make-up artist on Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey, where he created the humans/apes for the "Dawn of Man" sequence. He worked on Kubrick's Dr. Strangelove, handling Peter Sellers' multiple lead roles. He also worked with Sellers in several other films, including Heavens Above!, Mr. Topaze, and Soft Beds, Hard Battles and he was the make-up visual supervisor in the Superman films.
His wife Kay assisted her husband on several occasions; their son Graham was also a prolific make-up artist before his death in 1986.
Freeborn passed away in London on 5 February 2013, at the age of 98.

There's no better time than May's National Home Improvement Month to start planning your next home-remodeling project. Upgrading an outdated kitchen or building an addition are a few examples that are manageable with a little-advanced preparation and vision. To make the process less daunting, try these steps.
Are you selling? Addressing changing family needs or just upgrading? Your reasons for remodeling can impact your decisions—for example, if you're selling, your choices may be more about buyer appeal than personal taste. On the other hand, if you're building your dream kitchen, you may not want to compromise on certain features. Evaluate your project in light of your property value and return on investment and look for options that meet your overall needs.
Use the Internet to peruse articles, look at decorating magazines, and visit showrooms. Get brochures, color samples, and fabric swatches, and cut out or print pictures that show features or details of work that you like. Take pictures of other homes, and keep a scrapbook of ideas. These ideas can help your home-improvement specialist achieve the look you want.
A realistic budget can help you prioritize options. In your bathroom upgrade, will you really use that expensive spa tub, or are luxury shower heads, bath fixtures, and a towel warmer more important? If you want a contemporary, industrial look in your kitchen, can you compromise elsewhere so that you can afford concrete or stainless-steel countertops?
Remember that "form follows function." Look at your existing space critically. Evaluate how you use it. Assess high-traffic areas, kitchen work triangles, and overall flow. Define what already works and what doesn't. Get input from all family members, even children. The "look" of your new space should be secondary to layout and function. You can work on achieving that "magazine" look after you have the basics.
Research your options for features like countertops and flooring. Manufacturers' Websites are a great place to start, and most companies have an 800 number for product questions. Evaluate the pros and cons of each product type to determine which options suit your budget, lifestyle, and taste the best. For example, cork flooring is quite popular but soft, so it's not suitable for high traffic areas. Consider something more durable, like tile. If you have children or elderly family members, slippery surfaces like marble or polished tile may not be suitable—laminate wood flooring or vinyl may be safer.
Some up-front planning and research can make your remodeling project go a lot smoother and help ensure that you're satisfied with the end results. Above all else – remember to have fun!

What would someone be surprised to know about you? I learned Italian at the Università di Perugia per Stranieri.
How will Italian culture change in Canada over the next 10 years? We may not speak as much Italian as our parents and grandparents.
What do you hope never changes? Our traditions. Our family makes homemade soppressata, homemade hot pepper sauce and pomodoro sauce. It's a lot of work, and we can easily buy these things from the store, but it never tastes as good—and the memories we share are priceless.
What's the best advice you've ever received? Dream big because life is too short to dream small.
What job would you be terrible at? I'd be a bad travel agent because anytime someone asks me where they should travel, my answer will always be Italy.
What Italian stereotype do you completely live up to? I have a pasta addiction. There is nothing better than a plate of gnocchi al pomodoro daily.


I Gave is a new DAO (Decentralised Autonomous Organisation) that is centered around allowing users to donate Ethereum to a charitable organization. Its current implementation is open source and was launched in January 2018 and is in the form of a private testnet. I Gave's underlying technology is Ethereum smart contracts, much like cryptokittes.
I Gave allows donors to donate to charitable organizations using ethereum in exchange for a nonfungible token. This token represents a "need" for the organization. Its whitepaper gives the example of "1 bottle of water" as a need represented by a token. A specific number of the non-fungible tokens are available when a fundraising campaign is started. And the fundraiser ends either when there are no more non-fungible tokens left or when the end date of the fundraiser passes. Either way, at the end of the fundraiser, there will be no further tokens of that type issued. The whitepaper also mentions a fungible token to be used for voting on specific issues, such as marking specific ethereum addresses as 'Partners'. Partners do not pay the fees involved in starting a fundraising campaign.
I Gave will begin with an Initial Coin Offering intended to raise at least 100,000,000 IGV (100 ETH), and at maximum 50,000,000,000 IGV (500,000 ETH). 20% of the ICO will go into a development fund, with the rest going to those that purchased the IGV. IGV owners will be able to withdraw their ETH if the ICO fails. The ICO has two failure conditions. The first failure condition is not reaching the 100,000,000 IGV goals within the timeframe of 12 months. And the second is up to the founder of I Gave, who can end the ICO at any time.
I Gave is an extremely interesting idea and seems to have a well thought out plan for rollout and long-term use. And if it succeeds, could be a great asset to charitable organizations everywhere.
On January 25, Manila for the first time will host Blockchain & Bitcoin Conference Philippines, an event dedicated to cryptocurrency, blockchain and ICO.
At the end of November 2017, the Philippines` Securities and Exchange Commission announced its intention to introduce cryptocurrencies in the legal field. This means that soon the state can become one of the pioneers in the field of regulating digital assets. Legislative security will positively affect the popularity of the Philippines in the crypto community.
Crypto experts from all over the world will take part in the event: representatives of financial institutions, bankers, entrepreneurs, investors, lawyers, developers of blockchain solutions, startups and professional traders.
The event takes place in the format of a conference + exhibition, which simplifies the search for potential business partners. Within the conference, speakers will discuss legislative changes in the field of cryptocurrencies and tokens in the Philippines, share the experience of preparing a startup for the ICO, advise which digital assets should be invested in the new year and tell about the benefits of blockchain for business.
Representatives of the international crypto community will gather in the exhibition area: suppliers of mining equipment and farms, crypto exchanged, blockchain projects and investment funds.
The organizer of the event is Smile-Expo, the company that conducts events of the Blockchain & Bitcoin Conference network in 15 countries of Europe and Asia.
Venue: Edsa Shangri-La Hotel, Manila.
Follow the news on the official website of Blockchain & Bitcoin Conference Philippines.
