He said that clean drinking water projects were being completed on a priority basis in every city of the province including Lahore. He also said that he was utilising all his capabilities and available resources to provide best treatment facilities to the people.
"My team members and I are working day and night for the purpose," he said and added that high-quality medicines, latest medical equipment and the provision of best facilities was being ensured in all the hospitals of Punjab.
The chief minister said that a foolproof system for disposing of the hospital waste would also be ensured and a composite hospital waste system was being introduced in all the public sector hospitals across the province.
"I salute the government officials who work hard to serve the masses, but will never tolerate any negligence in the public welfare projects on any level. Every person deputed to serve the masses will have to answer for his or her duties," said Shehbaz.
Provincial ministers Rana Sanaullah, Begum Zakiya Shahnawaz, Khawaja Salman Rafiq, Khawaja Imran Nazir, Shaikh Allahuddin, Khawaja Ahmad Hasaan, chief secretary, concerned provincial secretaries and other officers were also present on the occasion.
CM DISCUSSES PROGRESS ON CPEC, PAK-CHINA RELATIONS WITH CHINESE CONSUL GENERAL:

During the meeting, different matters of mutual interest including Pak-China relations and progress on CPEC related projects came under discussion. The chief minister wished the Chinese consul general on the start of the new Chinese Year. He also extended well wishes to Chinese President Xi Jinping, the prime minister, the leadership of the Communist Party of China as well as the Chinese people.
On the occasion, the Chinese consul general said that Shehbaz had set a record by completing different projects with unprecedented speed.

He appreciated the fact that the Chinese leadership had proved its friendship by supporting Pakistan in every hour of trial.

No conspiracy could encumber the CPEC and due to the completion of energy projects, Pakistan had rid itself of the darkness of load-shedding, concluded Shehbaz.

Recently Mike Dang wrote an article for bundle.com on the top pet spending cities in the U.S. by month.
How do you, personally, rank? Do you know? We hit the top - and that's even per kitty!
PER PET! So in our household, if we lived at Scottsdale, it would mean $47.88 x (7 cats + 1 dog + 1 rabbit + 2 guinea pigs + 1 tortoise) = $574.56 per month.
This was a very interesting artical and mom learned al ot just by reading it!
Wow, we spend more than that on food alone every month!
I think I could be on the top 3, too!!!
Very inneresting. I notice none of those cities actually have anything else worth spending on! HAH! Everything in NYC is expensive so they should be on top.
Yep, my human spends AT LEAST as much per cat as humans in Scottsdale. In fact, my human jokes that she throws away that much in food alone that I have shunned. At least, I THINK she is joking!
What a fascinating infographic. Mom pondered why certain areas... thanks, it will give her something to think about instead of counting sheep later!
Geez... you would think that due to my household alone, that my city would have made the top of the list... and yet we didn't rank at all!! Silly and incorrect infograhic!!

Introspection of meaning of Independence needed
Jun 13, 2012 Letters
Several writers in your paper have commented about the meaning and achievement of our political independence. There is an absolute need for introspection of independence. Are we really better off today than we were 50 years ago?
Have our current former leaders (from both sides of the political aisle) let us down? How can we reclaim our nation from self-serving?
Politicians — those who don't seem to a hoot about the people but are only concerned about the welfare of themselves, friends and families.
Throughout the world, people in Third World countries, former colonies, are expressing regrets for breaking away from colonial rule. Most Third World countries are worse off today than they were under colonial rule. Very few countries (Singapore, India, Malaysia, Brunei, etc.) have made real progress since independence while most have retrogressed since they broke with their imperial rulers.
Peoples' quality of life has declined precipitously and they have given up faith in government to better their lives. Corruption is a norm of life in all former colonies. The former colonies have become more divided than they were during imperialist control. Law and order as well as discipline have broken down. Work ethnic has been on the decline.
The remaining colonies in the world don't want to break from their mother countries. A few days ago, I visited Puerto Rico, which is having national elections, for a study on attitudes toward colonial rule. Puerto Ricans don't want to break from Uncle Sam and the same is true of the US Virgin Islands and American Samoa.
I was in French Polynesia last February for another study on colonial attitudes. The French Polynesians don't want to break from Paris control. The same was found in my visits in St. Martin and Guadeloupe. Arubans told me they don't want to break from Holland. The same is true of the people of Curacao and the rest of the Dutch Caribbean.
The British colonies (Bermuda, Cayman, Anguilla, Montserrat, British Virgin Islands, Turks and Caicos, etc.) of the Caribbean are not even thinking of breaking from England. Life in all of the colonies is much better than it is in any of the independent countries of the Caribbean. That is why so many Guyanese, Jamaicans, and other islanders are attracted to these other islands for permanent residency.
Opinion polls in former British colonies are not favorable towards independence. In Jamaica, the late Prof. Carl Stone did an independence poll for years that asked whether the populace felt they would have been better off if Jamaica had remained a colony. The responses were not surprising. An overwhelming majority wished if Jamaica were not independent.
This poll question has been continued by Prof. Bill Johnson and the results last year showed that 60 per cent of people still yearn for colonial rule – a lack of faith in the politicians who succeeded the British rulers.
When I was in Jamaica last year, most people I interviewed yearned for a return of the British. Jamaicans, not matter what Prime Minister Portia Simpson says, does not want to replace the Queen as their head of state. The same is true of Barbados and the other islands of the region. As in the rest of the region, in Guyana some 90 per cent wished if Guyana had remained under England's control.
Recently, voters in Black Bush told me if America opened up its borders to Guyanese everyone, including the communists, would leave for the US. I remember an old lady telling me "beta, abe na bin dey so bad under White man rule" – a severe indictment to those who drove off the British so they could inherit the mantle to abuse their own people.
A few years ago when I wrote that our nation had regressed since independence, I was severely criticized for "being nostalgic for colonial rule". Yet, those who attacked "the imperialists" are seeking to settle in the imperialist countries; they (including the communists) want their children to be raised and schooled in the imperialist countries.
I don't think we should return under colonial control. But politicians and the elite must be cognizant of the views of people about how their standard of living and politics have deteriorated since the colonialists left. In many countries, the local rulers have oppressed their people more than the colonizers. Politicians in Third World countries are only interested in getting their hands at the purse to enrich themselves and don't concern themselves with the conditions of the poor and the working classes.
We should have a serious review of where we are today as a nation since we broke from the British.
Vishnu Bisram
Editor' note: The bulk of the population know nothing about British rule. To suggest that they are yearning for such a rule may be dishonest. People will not yearn for what they never knew.

Everytime i hear the words "Wassup" am tempted to say "the fan, the ceiling, my chimes, few mosquitoes randomly stuck upside down"..[and mind you, i have said one of these, all of these at different points of time] .. but nowadays, i've realised people use the word "Wassup" just as a ice breaker!!
Awkward silences are filled with "Wassup"

Continuing its celebration of UK-India Year of Culture, Déda in Derby is staging a two-day India Festival featuring amazing dance from Asia and Europe.
On September 27, 2Faced Dance Company is presenting Outlands.
The show is a vivacious and gripping triple bill of contemporary dance that showcases and celebrates up and coming female choreographers.
This unique programme of work features Hemabharathy Palani, Ronita Mookerji from India and Emma-Jayne Park from Britain. These extraordinary women present an intimate evening of work to mark the deep cultural ties between India and the UK.
Kicking off the evening is Yashti by Bangalore-based Hemabharathy Palani (above). At the heart of new work is the 'woman' and it is inspired by the story of the Tulasi plant and tales of conflict, confrontation, jealousy, and growth.
In Ronita Mookerji's work WHO, the choreographer asks: Who am I? What defines me? Where do I belong?
Using movement and text in It's Not Over Yet, Emma Jayne Park presents a show inspired by her own cancer diagnosis, treatment and remission.
It's Not Over Yet is a journey of remembering, evaluating life choices and exploring why they even matter.
On September 28 Déda will present a triple-bill evening of South Asian Dance featuring artists from across the Midlands including a stunningly intricate Kathak piece, Salaam, from Sonia Sabri Company and Contemplative Three from collaborators Subhash Viman, TJ Lowe, Andy Hamer, Jean Abreu and MORPH Dance Company.
Completing the line-up is Vidya Patel, a BBC Young Dancer 2015 finalist.
She will be presenting brand new work The Beginning exploring the roots of the Kathak form.

Q: Does anyone here uses Linux host/VMWare/VirtualKD debug environment? Does anyone had a successful experience with VirtualKD setup on Linux host running VMWare Workstation 8 (with Win7 guests)?
Despite the facts there's a lot of admiring comments about 'speed' and 'other benefits' of that VirtualKD, most of them come from Windows/VirtualBox users, and I really don't want to waste my time on trying to get it working on unsupported configuration.
P.S. Official VirtualKD forum has a similar thread that is still unanswered for two years, so decided to ask for reviews here.
P.P.S. My actual problem is that VMWare's socket-based COM port debugging is very slow.. it takes 10 to 20x more time to copy debug output from debuggee to debugger machine, than it takes to print same output to DbgView.

A:
Does anyone had a successful experience with VirtualKD setup on Linux host running VMWare Workstation 8 (with Win7 guests)?

VirtualKD is a Windows-only application. The poster on the forum has worked around the problem of it being Windows-only by redirecting a Unix socket to TCP, therefore allowing Windows clients to connect over the network.
I've used socat to successfully bridge two VMs using a tcp socket. I created pipes in /tmp and ran socat between them; one VM can then debug the other.
In my case, because I'd configured the debugger to use serial connections I was rate limited by the serial connections. I haven't tried the VirtualKD-style setup; however, my bet is it won't work. From the VirtualKD explanation of its internals on VMWare, the client-side code is basically using hypervisor provided functionality. VirtualBox has to be patched by VirtualKD; I expect this is to provide such functionality to VirtualBox clients.
The bad news is this means, ultimately, that the Linux host hypervisor (VMware/VirtualBox on the host) must know to process that information and pass it out to the appropriate location. By default, it won't know how to do this.

A: I have a successful experience running it on Windows if anyone is looking for that:

*

*Install VirtualBox 5.x or less and create a virtual machine with a Windows .iso SATA device and set it up

*Download VirtualKD-3.0

*Open the VM and run vminstall.exe on the guest

*On admin cmd on the guest: bcdedit /dbgsettings SERIAL DEBUGPORT:1 BAUDRATE:115200

*Shut down VM, close VirtualBox and kill the VBoxSVC.exe process

*Run VirtualIntegration.exe. If it crashes open an admin cmd and cd to C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox and then type vboxmanage setextradata <VMNAME> VBoxInternal/Devices/VirtualKD/0/Config/Path <VirtualKD-3.0 folder> i.e. vboxmanage setextradata Windows7 VBoxInternal/Devices/VirtualKD/0/Config/Path C:\Users\lewis\Downloads\VirtualKD-3.0

*Open vmmon64.exe and set the debugger path i.e C:\Program Files\Debugging Tools for Windows (x64)\windbg.exe, and then select WINDBG.EXE and start debugger automatically

*Launch VM and highlight the VirtualKD entry and press f8 and disable driver signature enforcement and you will soon break into the debugger at nt!RtlpBreakWithStatusInstruction, which is a debugger symbol for the first address of the DbgBreakPointWithStatus, which is called from InitBootProcessor, which is the breakpoint you'd get from sxe ibp;.reboot. There is an earlier breakpoint of sxe ld:nt
You will need to unpatch the VM in order to be able to boot it without vmmon open. VirtualKD is good for logging with debugging protocol packets and automating windbg connection but you can't boot debug with it. In order for boot debugging to work you will need to create a COM1 serial port on the VM and set it to create a pipe \\.\pipe\pipename. You then need to connect to the pipe via windbg manually. Make sure that you have done bcdedit /bootdebug /on && bcdedit /bootdebug {bootmgr} /on && bcdedit /set {bootmgr} debugtype serial && bcdedit /set {bootmgr} baudrate 115200 && bcdedit /set {bootmgr} debugport 1 on the guest before booting.

In a first for primates, sperm extracted from a once-frozen sample of testicle tissue was used to create a baby monkey, according to a new study. If this feat is replicated in humans, it could give some young children undergoing cancer treatment a way to preserve their fertility.
The treatments that help childhood cancer patients survive may also reduce their fertility later in life. One potential safeguard against future fertility problems is to testify tissue, and use it to generate sperm when survivors are ready to have kids – but this has not been tested in humans. To find out whether strategy can produce a healthy baby, researchers decided to test it in monkeys. The result was announced today in the journal Science : a healthy baby Rhesus macaque named Grady .
Chemotherapy drugs and radiation can wipe out the stem cells that produce sperm. Adults facing cancer treatment can bank their sperm. But children's testicles that have gone through puberty aren't making sperm. Kyle Orwig, a professor of obstetrics, gynecology, & reproductive sciences at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, wants to help these kids open their options in case they someday want to produce their own genetic offspring. "Cancer survivors tell us that their fertility status has a really important impact on their quality of life," he says. "The psychological impact of being able to have a child can be devastating."
"Some fertility centers have started experimentally freezing tissue biopsied from testicles before kids start cancer treatment in the hopes that, one day, there might be a way to use that tissue to produce viable sperm. Now, a team of researchers led by Orwig and postdoctoral researcher Adetunji Fayomi have shown in monkeys that frozen testicular tissue can, eventually, make a baby. "I think it's pretty amazing," says Michael Eisenberg, an associate professor of urology at Stanford Medical Center who was not involved in the research. "This could potentially help a lot of young boys."
The idea is that a kid about to undergo cancer treatment can freeze and bank testicular tissue, preserving some of those stem cells that make sperm. Then, later in life, if they decide they want to have biological offspring, they could have that tissue and transplanted into their own body. Hormones would help the testicular transplant mature and start producing sperm. Since the transplant does not get hooked back to the reproductive plumbing, the sperm stays inside the tissue. So the transplant would have been removed and the sperm extracted to be used in vitro fertilization.
Previous studies in monkeys got part of the way: researchers showed that the transplanted testicle tissue was able to produce sperm – but stopped short of proving that the sperm could actually produce offspring. the research the rest of the way. They removed one testicle each from five different monkeys, and froze them. Five months later, after the monkeys went through chemotherapy, the researchers removed each monkey's remaining testicle, and transplanted tissue from the fresh and frozen testicles into the monkeys' backs and scrotums. part of this process – hurt their chances of producing sperm, eventually, a baby.
Then, the team monitored the monkeys. The grafts grew, and testosterone levels climbed to typical levels in the monkeys' blood – showing that the grafts were acting as healthy testicles would. Eight months to a year later, the researchers took out the transplants, examined them under a microscope, and pulverized them with forceps and enzymes to recover live sperm. The team succeeded for most of the transplants – even the ones that had been frozen.
The researchers collected sperm from one of the frozen transplants, and shipped it to the Oregon National Primate Research Center. It took a few tries to get the timing of fertilization and the monkeys' breeding season to align. Of the 138 eggs they fertilized, only 11 embryos matured enough to eventually be transferred into monkeys' uteruses.
" This is definitely a huge step. "

Platinum-Rare Earth Alloy Electrocatalysts for the Oxygen Reduction Reaction: A Brief Overview, Carlos A. Campos-Roldán, Deborah J. Jones, Jacques Rozière, and Sara Cavaliere, ChemCatChem 2022, e202200334 - DOI:
https://doi.org/10.1002/cctc.202200334 - OPEN ACCESS - PDF
The development of highly active and long-term stable electrocatalysts for the cathode of proton-exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC) is a paramount requirement for high performance and durable PEMFC stacks. In this regard, alloying Pt with rare earth metals (REM) has emerged as a promising approach. This short review summarizes and discusses the most relevant advances on Pt- REM alloy electrocatalysts, from bulk polycrystalline surfaces to carbon supported nanostructures, for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), and their implementation in PEMFCs, and is a starting point to establish the challenges in synthesis and design and properties goals for novel Pt-REM alloys.
Nitrogen Plasma Modified Carbons for PEMFC with Increased Interaction with Catalyst and Ionomer, A. Parnière, P.-Y. Blanchard, S. Cavaliere, N. Donzel, B. Prelot, J. Rozière and D. J. Jones, 2022 J. Electrochem. Soc. 169 044502 - DOI: https://doi.org/10.1149/1945-7111/ac609e - OPEN ACCESS - PDF
Vulcan XC72 carbon black, conventionally used as electrocatalyst support in proton exchange membrane fuel cells, was doped with nitrogen functionalities by exposing it to nitrogen plasma, and the effect on its morphology, structure and texture and surface properties was investigated. In particular, the strength of the interaction between the modified carbon and Nafion® ionomer was evaluated by isothermal titration calorimetry, and an enhanced exothermic effect was observed on increasing the amount of nitrogen at the Vulcan surface. The undoped and nitrogen-doped carbon blacks were catalysed with Pt nanoparticles, and the resulting materials were characterised for their electrocatalytic properties towards the oxygen reduction reaction. The electrocatalyst using nitrogen-doped supports are characterised by higher activity and stability, which is attributed to a strong Pt-support interaction promoted by the presence of the heteroatoms.

29-Year-Old Trans Woman Causes Backlash After Beating 13-Year-Old Girl In Skateboarding Contest
Marcus Chan
Published 9:37, 27 June 2022 BST
| Last updated 12:01, 27 June 2022 BST
A 29-year-old trans woman has caused controversy after beating a 13-year-old girl to win first place in a women's skateboarding event in New York.
Ricci Tres was born as a male but now identifies as a woman entered the Boardr Open, which is a street skateboarding contest that is open to skateboarders of all levels but is split into male and female events.
Tres won the female contest and took home the prize of $500, beating 13-year-old girl Shiloh Catori who came second with a prize money of $250.
A total of six skateboarders took part, with four under the age of 17 , including a 10-year-old girl named Juri Iikura who finished in fifth place.
The result has caused backlash, and fellow skateboarder Taylor Silverman, who is a woman took to social media to reveal how she was beaten in multiple competitions by trans women.
She said: "I have been in three different contests with trans women, two of which I placed second. This totalled $5,000 of the prize money meant for female athletes."
Silverman lost to a trans skater named Lilian Gallagher in May, and since then, she has used her social media platforms to campaign for the preservation of women's athletics by calling for competitions to revert to women competing against other biological women and men competing with biological men.
Silverman wrote on Instagram: "I reached out to Redbull and was ignored, I am sick of being bullied into silence."
"What happened was unfair and at the time I was too uncomfortable to speak up."

She added: "I understand that in today's society even some women think this is acceptable, but I believe in doing the right thing even if it's not the popular thing. I now realise it's really important for me to speak up and I'd like to schedule a time to talk."
Last December, the spotlight was on trans swimmer Lia Thomas who comfortably beat other women in the 1650 freestyle, 500 freestyle and 200 freestyle by convincing margins.
Thomas was swimming for the men's team before switching to the women's team.
A recent poll by Gallup showed that 62% of Americans believe that athletes should only take part in sporting teams that matches their born sex rather than their gender identity.

SECT. I.
INE MUTUAL CONNECTION OF GOD'S SEVERAL
DISPENSATIONS,
GENERAL GROUNDS OF THE MUTUAL CONNEC
TION OF GOD'S SEVERAL DISPENSATIONS.
We have now sufficiently established the divine legation of Moses, and consequently the divine authority of the dispensation which he was appointed to promulgate : we must next investigate the mode, in which it stands connected with the other dispensations of God.
I. The Levitical dispensation itself did not commence, until many years after the deluge, and therefore until many more years after the creation : and, as its very contexture shews it to be intended for a particular people in a particular country; we have, from the mere facts of the general dispersion of the Jews and the desolation of their holy place for more than seventeen centuries, as decisive proof as can be desired, that by the counsels of infinite wisdom it is now completely abrogated. Such being the case, it occupies an intermediate period of time, cut out (as it were) from the entire number of years, which have elapsed between the creation of the world and the day of our own mortal existence. Hence we have a considerable space of time before the promulgation of the Hebrew Law, and another considerable space of time after its abrogation, So that the whole period, which has elapsed from the creation to the present hour, theologically divides itself into three smaller periods : the time previous to the Law, the tiine occupied by the Law, and the time subsequent to the Law. Now the time occupied by the Law is a period, occupied by, what we have proved to be, a dispensation miraculously promulged from heaven by the subordinate agency of Moses. Here therefore an important question naturally
Under what aspect are we to view the two periods, before and after the Law? Has God been pleased to reveal his will only to a single people and during a single period ? Have the two periods before and after the Law been left wholly destitute of any communication of the divine will ? Did God, after a long night of utter mental darkness and uncertainty, first declare himself to Moses : and, now that he has been pleased so manifestly to abrogate his own dispensation to a single peculiar people, a dispensation plainly incapable of universal adoption ; has he altogether withdrawn himself from mankind, vouchsafing no
presents itself.
communication of his will which might occupy the place of the abrogated dispensation and which might be suited for the general benefit of the whole world ?
It is obvious, that, unless a divine dispensation 'has both preceded and succeeded the Law, we shall find ourselves called upon to account for the extraordinary circumstance, of God having exclusively declared himself to a single nation, and of his afterwards having withdrawn himself from that nation without affording any statement of his will to his other rational creatures. The deist, who rejects all revelation, advocates at least a consistent and homogeneous theory: but the inquirer, who has been compelled to acknowledge the divine origin and authority of the Levitical dispensation, will find himself strangely perplexed in accounting for the existence of this Oasis in the midst of a widely extended moral desert, if he can bring forward no warrant for believing that the Hebrew Law has been both preceded and succeeded by a dispensation from heaven.
II. All, that we can know of any previous dispensation, must be learned from that ancient history, which is prefixed to the Hebrew Law with its concomitant transactions, and which constitutes the first book of the Pentateuch : but any subsequent dispensation can only be spoken of, by Moses or by other persons recorded in his writings, prophetically and in the way of anticipation.
Now with our own eyes we behold the existence of a subsequent dispensation ; which was first promul
gated by a divine lawgiver in many points resembling Moses himself, shortly before the Levitical dispensation was practically abrogated, by the destruction of the temple, by the cessation of the daily sacrifice, by the dissipation of the Jews, and by the impossibility of the heaven-ordained ritual being any longer punctually observed. On the other hand, we are distinctly taught in the Pentateuch, that the Law of Moses was preceded by a more ancient dispensation : in the course of which God frequently revealed himself to man, as the moral governor of the universe; who, agreeably to the tenor of certain well-known though but orallyexisting statutes, was the rewarder of the pious and the punisher of the impious.
We now therefore find, that the whole period of time, from the creation down to the present hour, is occupied by three successive dispensations ; whieh are usually denominated the Patriarchal, the Levitical, and the Christian.
Of these we may observe, that there is a closer affinity between the Patriarchal and the Christian, than between either of them and the Levitical : for the Patriarchal and the Christian are equally catholic, but the Levitical is confined to the single nation of the Israelites.
III. Now, as all the three dispensations are of divine origin; for, to omit other distinct evidences, the Levitical, which we have ascertained to be from God, attests the divinity both of the Christian and of the Patriarchal, and the Patriarchal again attests the divinity of the Christian : as all the


Plastics manufacturers must meet ever increasing quality standards. Installing defective parts requires considerably more time and effort and for this reason is to be avoided. This is why quality criteria need to be observed when engineering and constructing the tool shape – without making any compromises. At the same time, developers and mold makers are usually under time pressure because the time to market is one of the decisive factors in determining the success of a product launch.
The quality of plastic parts manufactured using plastic injection molding depends on many influencing factors: from the injection mold itself, the various process parameters to the type of plastic used. For example: the shrinkage behavior influences the dimensions of the injection molded part. Shrinking, in turn, depends on the other aforementioned influencing variables and cannot be predicted with great accuracy. The quality of the injection molding tool cannot be assessed by a simple measurement. Whether or not an injection mold will provide good results can only be determined by inspecting the parts manufactured using it.
The color-coded display in ZEISS REVERSE ENGINEERING shows you at a glance where and by how much the component diverges from the nominal data. A shift into the blue spectrum indicates undersize whereas a shift into the red spectrum indicates oversize.
Only the area marked in blue is considered for tool correction because this is decisive for fit accuracy.
The inspection process does not destroy the component.
The amount of time required is drastically reduced.
The process is reliable: there is no risk of deforming within the scope of the inspection process.
The amount of information provided is greater because the entire component is captured, and not just individual sections. This can significantly reduce the number of correction loops required. The CT systems from ZEISS are also highly accurate and the results are traceable.
Color-coded nominal/actual comparison of the selected sub-area.
With ZEISS REVERSE ENGINEERING software, the CAD model of the injection molding tool can be corrected using the nominal data of a plastic component and the actual-data generated using the ZEISS METROTOM. The software corrects defective component segments in the tool dataset and ensures that the selected segments fit appropriately. ZEISS REVERSE ENGINEERING detects the underlying geometries using CT volume data. The mathematically calculated surfaces are then merged to create a watertight model, meaning that there are ideally no gaps or overlaps between the surfaces. Stipulated continuity conditions can be guaranteed extremely conveniently and reliably using ZEISS REVERSE ENGINEERING.
ZEISS REVERSE ENGINEERING inverts the component deviations and transfers them to the tool data set.
Thanks to the fast and informative capture of the actual condition with the ZEISS METROTOM and efficient tool correction using ZEISS REVERSE ENGINEERING, iteration loops can be significantly reduced and shortened for tool correction – while still meeting premium quality standards.

Do you really know about X-Files Star Gillian Anderson's family?
Her love for acting began when the high school student decided to audition for a community play. Till date, Gillian Leigh Anderson had no idea how she transitioned from wanting to be an archaeologist to a deep desire for the arts. The actress is a holder of several awards including an honorary position in the British Empire for her services to drama. Asides her career as an actress, Anderson is an active supporter of charity and humanitarian organizations.
The almost five decades old actress has lived quite a life! On screen, she is the fierce, goal-oriented lady who does just about anything to get the job done. And in real life, she is fortunately no different; she's got her life in control. She has not been so lucky when it comes to relationships but Anderson is super-confident and self-sufficient in herself. She is very open concerning love now and even claims to be heterosexual. Read on to know all the juicy details about the personal life of the famous Gillian Anderson.
Rosemary Anderson (mother)
She worked as a computer analyst and according to her; Gillian was a tomboy as a child. Rosemary says her daughter was always digging up worms and was just generally interested in sciences until she noticed a dramatic change. She was 14 and had effortlessly mastered a scene in the Romeo and Juliet play and the moment Rose saw her daughter perform the scene, her jaw dropped. At that instant, she knew Gillian was made for the screen and has since then being a huge supporter of her daughter's dreams.
Edward Anderson (father)
Edward ran a film post-production company and was present in his daughter's childhood.
Aaron Anderson (younger brother from same parents)
Year of Birth: 1981
Date of Death: September 22, 2011 (aged 30)
Aaron was a DJ, a mentor and a highly religious Buddhist. It was confirmed since he was three that he had neurofibromatosis (a rare incurable condition that causes tumours to grow on nerve tissues). In 2008, he was in the second year of his PhD program when he was diagnosed with glioblastoma. Things turned south after the diagnosis and he kept getting worse by the day until he died. The only Anderson male passed away sadly in 2011 his death is believed to be linked with the neurofibromatosis.
Zoe Anderson (younger sister from same parents)
Date of Birth: July 7, 1983
After graduating from college, Zoe began working as a ceramics artist until she started getting minor roles in movies. Several times in the critically acclaimed sci-fi series X-Files (1993 – 2002), Anderson starred as the childhood version of her sister's FBI character. Zoe is openly gay and is currently married to her homosexual partner.
Clyde Klotz (former spouse)
Duration of Marriage: January 1, 1994 – 1997 (3 years)
Date of Birth: June 8, 1961
If you were thinking X-Files (1993 – 2002) was only responsible for her fame boom, then you've got it wrong. On the set of the TV show, Gillian met with the first man she would in no time call husband – Clyde Klotz. He was the assistant director on the series and succeeded in winning Dana Scully's heart in real life. According to The Fall (2013 – 2016) actress, it wasn't quite love at first sight but his smile immediately got her attracted and they dated for three months. They got married on New Year's Day 1994 at the 17th hole of a Hawaiian golf course and that same year became parents to a lovely princess. Unfortunately, within three years of marital bliss, their union ended with a divorce.
Julian Ozanne (former spouse)
Duration of Marriage: December 29, 2004 – 2006 (2 years)
Bio-fuel entrepreneur and Documentary Film Producer Ozanne was the second man to walk the beautiful actress down the aisle. Again, she got married in the festive periods of another new year but all was soon not well in paradise. They briefly parted ways two years down the line and finalized their divorce in 2006. He was born in Kenya and studied in London. More than 9 years he worked for the Financial Times and than joined production company. His famous film is This Is Not An Exit.
Mark Griffiths (former partner)
Duration of Relationship: 2006 – 2012 (6 years)
Fortunately for the gifted actress, she did not have to wait for so long before love found her again. This time, it was with businessman Mark Griffiths who in a short while after meeting, found his way into her life for real. They never got married but their love became her longest running relationship. They were indeed happy together as shortly after they started dating, she announced the arrival of her first son and two years later, another bouncing baby boy was added to the crew.
Piper Maru Anderson-Klotz (daughter with Clyde Klotz)
Its insane how much Gillian and her only daughter look alike. Piper is the only child Anderson had with her first husband and one of the X-Files episodes was named after her. Chris Carter, the series' writer-director was chosen by the star actress to be the godfather to Maru.
Gillian Anderson with daughter Piper
Oscar Griffiths (son with Mark Griffiths)
Date of Birth: November 1, 2006
A few months after beginning a relationship with Mark, Gillian had a second child and this time around, it was a boy.
Felix Griffiths (son with Mark Griffiths)
The House of Mirth (2000) hot mama gave birth to her youngest child in 2008 and since then has decided to put an end to child bearing though she remains the best mother anyone can possibly be.

United States: Blacklist of Amazon Websites in the United Kingdom, Germany, France, India, and Canada
Photo: DAVID BECKER / AFP via Getty Images
The United States government has blacklisted five of Amazon's foreign websites (AMZN).
The administration of President Donald Trump has placed the platforms of the e-commerce giant in the United Kingdom, Germany, France, India and Canada on a register of "notorious markets" because it claims that the sites have facilitated the sale of counterfeit and pirated products.
The list has no legal weight but it does honor the companies on it.
"The Trump Administration is committed to holding intellectual property rights violators accountable and to ensuring that American innovators and creators have a full and fair opportunity to use and benefit from their work," said the representative. Commerce, Robert Lighthizer, in a statement.
"Over the past year, USTR has secured strong and enforceable intellectual property obligations in its historic agreements with China, Canada and Mexico. The two reports released today illustrate the administration's commitment to protect intellectual property rights and to fight counterfeiting and piracy in the online and physical markets. "
The United States said it added Amazon sites following complaints from U.S. companies over the sale of counterfeit products. Reports published by the Trump administration cite complaints from companies that Amazon sites did not provide clear information about the sellers and that the process for removing platforms selling counterfeit products was " long and binding ".
Amazon said in a statement that the decision to put foreign websites on the registry was "a purely political act is another example of the administration using the United States government to advance a personal vendetta against Amazon."
The press release adds "we are an active and committed stakeholder in the fight against counterfeiting" and underlined how it has made significant investments in technology to prevent the sale of counterfeit products on its platforms and had even blocked more than 6 billion bad registrations before their publication. at the platform in 2019.

Spider-Man 3 Could See Andrew Garfield And Tobey Maguire Return
on 18th October 2020 at 5:57 pm
It's being reported that the upcoming Spider-Man 3 movie could see Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield return as their versions of Spider-Man.
This report came from FandomWire, however, more specifically, it originated from Popcorned Planet.
Popcorned Planet's Andy Signore was contacted by some insider sources who informed him that we were going to be seeing Maguire and Garfield in Spider-Man 3.
This was slightly different to what we had been told previously.
Our sources informed us that they had both signed onto a future Spider-Man project, but that they wouldn't be in Spider-Man 3.
The scoop game isn't an easy one to be in, and not all sources can be trusted.
However, Signore is very confident in his intel, and I am keeping my fingers crossed he's right.
You can check out his scoop in the video below.
Spider-Man 3 might have Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield in it
Read more: EXCLUSIVE: Tobey Maguire Has Signed On To Star In A Future Spider-Man Movie
However, Signore also offered more details about how they would be in the movie.
He said that they would be more than just a cameo in the end credits.
According to his sources, they will be a pretty important part of the film, which will introduce viewers to the live-action Spider-Verse.
I would love it if this does turn out to be true.
Signore doesn't tend to deliver these sorts of scoops that often, so fingers crossed he's right on this one.
ET Canada did go to Sony Pictures for comment after this exclusive was put out there.
Rather interestingly, they replied (which doesn't happen all that ofter).
They said: "Those rumoured castings are not confirmed".
However, that isn't really them denying that the rumours aren't true.
What do you make of this news?
Would you like to see Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire's versions of Spider-Man in Spider-Man 3?

Q: Counting Surnames and Ordering By most common We want to find the most common surname (LNAME) of German students (NATIONALITY). Create a view which, for every German surname, shows the surname and the number of students having that surname. The output is to be sorted in the order of most common to least common, with the secondary sort order being ascending alphabetical.
So Far I have this
CREATE VIEW GermanSurnames AS
SELECT LNAME, COUNT(LNAME)
FROM STUDENT
WHERE NATIONALITY = 'GERMAN'
ORDER BY LNAME DESC

Is this correct or how should i do this?
Thanks :)

A: You are missing the group by
SELECT LNAME, COUNT(*) as NUMSTUDENTS
FROM STUDENT
WHERE NATIONALITY = 'GERMAN'
GROUP BY LNAME
ORDER BY COUNT(*) DESC, LNAME

A: Why a view? isn't
SELECT LNAME, COUNT(*) AS HOWMANY
  FROM STUDENT
 WHERE NATIONALITY = 'GERMAN'
 GROUP BY LNAME
 ORDER BY HOWMANY DESC;

sufficient?

A Momentous Milestone For a Local Art Treasure
Erie Art Museum's Spring Show celebrates regional talent
Wendy Maruyama, juror of the 95th Spring Show, brings a wealth of experience to the table as an artist, furniture maker, and educator.
Wendy Maruyama sits in diffused light at the south end of the Hagan Gallery of the Erie Art Museum. Volunteers pad softly around the room providing a soft undercurrent of audible rhythm in the lively but hushed room. Everyone is wearing gloves as they transport works from stacks against the wall toward Maruyama. It is at once a chaotic, but well-organized bustle of activity. The jurying process for the 95th Spring Show is in full swing.
Maruyama, an artist, furniture maker and educator, seems to be enjoying herself as she brings the eyes and heart of someone with more than 40 years of innovative craftsmanship to bear on the 643 submissions to the show. She leans forward, squinting to examine details, leans back in her chair with folded arms to get a larger view. She asks for titles, knits her brow at one work, and rests her chin in her hands at others. Her ruminations only last a short while with each presentation and then it's "yes," "no," or "maybe."
The volunteers quickly move away, stopping at another table to announce each work's fate to other volunteers and then head in different directions depending on the judgment the work they're holding received.
This efficient procedure has been developed over the past near-century with staff and volunteers alike having honed the jurying process into an art itself. The in-person event is, in fact, part of the revered lore of the Spring Show; most jurying in the art world today is done via computers, with artists sending digital images of their works to jurors for review. .
For John Vanco, former Executive Director of the Erie Art Museum, the in-person process held many advantages. "First, it's fairer to the artist and the juror. Details and scale are much more obvious and works in two and three dimensions don't suffer the way they might if the photograph used to present the work is not the best quality. Plus, it's a far more satisfying process and then, once complete, the curator knows exactly what there is to work with."
Susan Barnett, who joined the museum staff as curator last spring when Vanco retired, concurs.
"The in-person jurying makes the local drop-off a community event. Artists may see each other for the first time in a while and the process can discourage those farther out of town from submitting, which gives the show a more local feel."
Susan Barnett
She also thinks that seeing the works in person lets the juror examine the material and craftsmanship in a more realistic way. "The works really present themselves as objects."
Is she apprehensive about taking the reins from someone who has been curating Spring Shows since 1969? No, not really.
"I am so impressed with the quality of the work that was entered in the show and grateful to Maruyama for making the hard choices. From 643 entries, she chose 102 works for the show, a perfect number to fill the museum's main gallery. We could easily have made three good exhibitions from the work that was entered," says Barnett.
Vanco, who says he won't miss working on the show, has great trust in Barnett. "I have no qualms about the Spring Show going forward. I'm sure she'll change things but that's a good thing. Fresh insights keep things evolving."
Barnett's fresh eye will build on the work Vanco accomplished in the past 49 years. To really see how the show evolved, a dip into the institutional memory of the organization is in order.
The annual "Exhibition of the Artists of Erie" began in 1923 at the Erie Arts Center, predecessor to the current museum, and was organized by the Art Club of Erie. Catalogs from some of the early years show us that awards were given, and the jurors were a team of local art patrons.
The Spring Show has come a long way from its origins as the Annual Exhibition of the Artists in Erie, expanding both in scope and radius of eligibility, opening up to artists as far as 250 miles away.
In a fascinating tidbit, the 1931 catalog, the eighth annual show, reveals that Catherine Burns Plavcan bests her much more famous husband, Joseph Plavcan with a "First Award." He received a First Honorable Mention that year.
Of course, Vanco didn't arrive on the scene until 1969, but he saw the first "May Show" in 1968 when he was working as a journalist for the Erie Daily Times. "I reviewed it, and I remember that it had some controversy as it contained a painting of a nude man in a bathtub."
By the following year, the Erie Art Center had hired Vanco to be the first director. He renamed the May Show the Spring Show because he wanted to open it earlier, in April. He also expanded the radius of miles from which artists could contribute from 75 miles to 250, despite initial protests from locals. This brought in a wider diversity of talent to the show and as the years progressed, the Spring Show had developed a reputation for attracting quality work.
What also helped grow the quality of the show was recruiting the luminaries of the art world to jury the show. One, Marcia Tucker, was founder and director of the New Museum of Contemporary Art when she juried in 1983.
Jurors often came in skeptical according to Vanco. In fact one, gallery owner and dealer Bernice Steinbaum, said to him that she had high standards and remarked, "You might only end up with one work." It turned out she was pleasantly surprised, as most others were as well.
Having jurors from larger communities and markets gave the museum an opportunity to showcase regional talent to a wider world and gave staff the opportunity to work with notable professionals in the field. "There have been many great jurors," says Vanco. "Recently Sergei Isupov and William Wegman were great jurors and wonderful to work with."
Another innovation that spurred interest by artists was the instituting of a purchase patrons' program where collectors agree to acquire a work from the show. This year that means $12,500 in guaranteed purchases. An additional $15,000 in cash prizes, including one from the Northwest Pennsylvania Artists Association, will also be awarded.
Some of those prizes will go to works chosen by Maruyama, who had a difficult task of winnowing down the collected works into a manageable show. "It was a true honor to jury such a significant exhibition … there were so many stellar submissions that it became an issue of rejecting work not because it was poor, but because the space has limits," she remarked in an email. "Sometimes I had to really shift the strategy on my evaluation process. For example, if there were three paintings I loved but each had, let's say, crows, or trees as a central element, it came down to choosing the strongest depiction overall."
Spring Show juror Wendy Maruyama evaluates a painting for the exhibit opening on April 21, sitting alongside Museum curator Susan Barnett. Of 643 total submissions, 102 were chosen for display.
And Maruyama also gives us other peeks into her approach by writing "as a craft person I am mindful of how well things are made, whether it's painting or sculpture. At the same time I tried to evaluate the use of 'appropriate' craftsmanship — work made with found objects have a different patina, so to speak. But if I am distracted by it, then that is how I may come to a decision."
Her words reveal how the varying approaches or emphases of jurors over the years have shaped the Spring Show in distinctive ways, giving each its own flavor. This, for better or worse, keeps the show fresh and new each year and one that is eagerly awaited in the community.
Erie will get to see the 95th show on April 22, when it opens to the public. Until then, the staff of the museum is busy with post-jurying logistics. Barnett is excited about installing her first Spring Show. "For me, as a new curator and Erie resident, the Spring Show is a fantastic opportunity to get to know the artists and their work. I look forward to laying out the show and exploring groupings by theme, medium and color until we find relationships that work. I do envision certain very strong works as central elements in various areas of the gallery."
And she has reason to be excited to be part of the rich and storied tradition that is the Erie Art Museum Spring Show. The show has, in many ways, been the harbinger of spring, a re-awakening of the regional art world, an opportunity for artists to show off what they worked on over the winter.
But as Barnett wisely points out, the Spring Show is "more than just an exhibition or a contest, the Spring Show brings artists together in Erie and the region. Artists of all ages and backgrounds stop by during the drop-off period to see one another's work and offer support. The reception is a reunion for artists and a celebration that connects them to the community."
So, as an interesting and rewarding Spring Show is at hand, let's celebrate the Erie Art Museum as it reaches this remarkable milestone. And let's all look forward to the 100th and many more after that from what is clearly a local treasure. Erie would be far poorer without it.
