Jeff Gannon Lives!
And speaks, in a lengthy interview with E&P.
I haven't been this psyched since the sequel to Eddie and the Cruisers.
Bullet-points:
On the Plame probe: Guckert said that contrary to many press reports, he was never subpoenaed by the special prosecutor and has never testified before a grand jury in the case. But he said he was interviewed by two FBI agents in his home for about 90 minutes last year.
"I answered their questions truthfully and honestly, but I would prefer not to say more," he said. "I assume the information was routed back and that is why I was not called to testify."
Connections to White House staff: "When asked if anyone in the White House staff or leadership planted, offered, or suggested questions to ask, Guckert said "absolutely not." He said, "I only met Karl Rove once, at the media Christmas party at the White House in 2003. I was waiting in line for my 'grip and grin' [photo] with the president and he passed by. I introduced myself to him, he said hello, and he moved on."
Asked if he had any other social connection to Rove or Press Secretary Scott McClellan, he said, "absolutely not. ... The only connection I had with Scott McClellan was when he got married and I sent him a card and left it at the press office for him." He said he gave no gift to McClellan.
On his name change: "I was projecting out into the future at that time that I was going to be a journalist," he said. "I wanted to have a better name that is not difficult to spell or pronounce. For a little while, it protected my family from people who disagreed with me going after my family, but that was just a side consideration. I really wanted an easier name because people have gotten it wrong all of my life."
On setting up sex sites: "They were done through a private company I was involved with doing Web site development about five years ago," Guckert said. He said the company was Bedrock Corporation of Delaware. He would not identify the clients who asked him to create the sites. "The sites were never hosted, and nothing was ever posted to the sites," he said.
Nice work, Oliver and "Kos" and "Atrios." You'll forever be known as the posse that finally brought down the famous desperado Jeff Gannon-- a man so mean he once shot a man just for snorin'.
Thanks to Senator Phil A. Buster.

What is the role of marketing and sales effectiveness in turnaround performance?
When considering turnaround assistance, reputation, rapport and overall pricing are key components, however there is another pivotal factor.
A marketing and sales force effectiveness platform remains key to turning basic financial assessment and cash flow development cases into profitable, multi-consultant, multi-year implementation projects.
Building a turnaround plan that includes improving top-line performance during a turnaround means addressing the often most pressing need – improving sales performance. The turnaround plans that stand out from the rest tailor their presentations to client specific top-line and strategic challenges. Understanding how to address sales and marketing shortcomings demonstrates clarity on what must be done immediately.
A turnaround offering should include access to both the supplemental experience required to deliver when needed and a marketing and sales advisory board throughout the engagement to ensure performance.

Q: Python: Parsing XML (xliff) file including headers I am trying to parse an XML file (it's an XLIFF translation file, to be more precise), and transform it into (slightly different) TMX format.
My source XLIFF file looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xliff version="1.0">
  <file origin="Some/Folder/proj/SomeFile.strings" source-language="en" target-language="hr" datatype="strings" product="Product BlahBlah" product-version="3.9.12" build-num="1" x-train="Blurt">

      <count-group name="SomeFile.strings">
        <count count-type="total" unit="word">2</count>
      </count-group>

      <trans-unit id="8.text" restype="string" resname=""><source>End</source><target match-quality="80" match-description="_predecessor(22) _path(0) _file(15) datatype(5) id(17) restype(6) resname(4) _reserved(11) _one-word-threshold(-25)" state="signed-off" x-match-attributes="preserved-stable" state-qualifier="exact-match" x-leverage-path="predecessor-ice">Kraj</target><note>This is a note</note></trans-unit>

  </file>
  <file origin="Some/Folder/proj/SomeOtherFile.strings" source-language="en" target-language="hr" datatype="strings" product="Product BlahBlah2" product-version="3.12.56" build-num="1" x-train="Blurt2">

      <count-group name="SomeOtherFile.strings">
        <count count-type="total" unit="word">4</count>
      </count-group>

      <trans-unit id="14.accessibilityLabel" restype="string" resname=""><source>return to project list</source><target match-quality="80" match-description="_predecessor(22) _path(0) _file(15) datatype(5) id(17) restype(6) resname(4) _reserved(11)" state="signed-off" x-match-attributes="preserved-stable" state-qualifier="exact-match" x-leverage-path="predecessor-ice">povratak na popis projekata</target><note>This is again a note</note></trans-unit>

  </file>

  (and more <file> elements continue... some with many more <trans-unit> </trans-unit> elements than these above)

  </xliff>

What I am aiming to do is to rearrange and simplify these slightly, to get the above into following format:
<tu>
    <prop type="FileSource">SomeFile.strings</prop>
    <tuv xml:lang="en">
        <seg>End</seg>
    </tuv>
    <tuv xml:lang="hr">
        <prop type="Note">This is a note</prop>
        <seg>Kraj</seg>
    </tuv>
</tu>
<tu>
    <prop type="FileSource">SomeOtherFile.strings</prop>
    <tuv xml:lang="en">
        <seg>return to project list</seg>
    </tuv>
    <tuv xml:lang="hr">
        <prop type="Note">This is again a note</prop></prop>
        <seg>povratak na popis projekata</seg>
    </tuv>
</tu>

Note that the original XLIFF file may have several <file origin ...> parts, each with many <trans-unit ...> elements (which are actual strings from that file...)
I have managed to code a part that gives me the "Source" and "Target" parts OK, but what I still need are the parts from the "file origin" elements... where the languages are defined (i.e. "source-language" and "target-language", which I will then write out as <tuv xml:lang="en"> and <tuv xml:lang="hr"> for each string), and where I can find the relevant reference to strings file (i.e. "SomeFile.strings" and "SomeOtherFile.strings", to be used as <prop type="FileSource">SomeFile.strings</prop>).
Currently I have the following Python code, which nicely extracts the required "source" and "target" elements:
#!/usr/bin/env python3
#

import sys

from lxml import etree

if len(sys.argv) < 2:
    print('Wrong number of arguments:\n => You need to provide a filename for processing!')
    exit()

file = sys.argv[1]

tree = etree.iterparse(file)
for action, elem in tree:
    if elem.tag == "source":
        print("<TransUnit>")
        print("\t<Source>" + elem.text  + "</Source>")
    elif elem.tag == "target":
        print("\t<Target>" + elem.text + "</Target>")
    elif elem.tag == "note":
        if elem.text is not None:
            print("\t<Note>" + elem.text + "</Note>")
            print("</TransUnit>")
        else:
            print("</TransUnit>")
    else:
        next

Now, how could I also extract "source-language" (i.e. the value "en"), "target-language" (i.e. value "hr") and the file reference (i.e. "SomeFile.strings") from the "file origin ...." elements in the original XLIFF file?
Also, I need to keep (remember) that file reference, i.e.:
<prop type="FileSource">SomeOtherFile.strings</prop>

*

*for all translation (<tu>) units that belong to that file (there can be many, unlike in the above sample, where each "file" has only one

So, for example, I would have:
<tu>
    <prop type="FileSource">SomeFile.strings</prop>
    <tuv xml:lang="en">
        <seg>End</seg>
    </tuv>
    <tuv xml:lang="hr">
        <prop type="Note">This is a note</prop>
        <seg>Kraj</seg>
    </tuv>
</tu>
<tu>
    <prop type="FileSource">SomeFile.strings</prop>
    <tuv xml:lang="en">
        <seg>Start</seg>
    </tuv>
    <tuv xml:lang="hr">
        <prop type="Note">This is a note</prop>
        <seg>Početak</seg>
    </tuv>
</tu>

*

*where each <tu> element has a <prop type="FileSource"> element showing from which file it comes...

I would more than appreciate any help in this regard...

A: Heh, as it often happens, I arrived at the usable solution after some more digging...
Perhaps my question was unnecessarily complex, while the problem was actually identifying  the proper root element(s), and proper addressing (and targeting) of children and grandchildren.
Anyway, another stackoverflow thread got me on the right path, so the solution which suits me now looks like this:
#!/usr/bin/env python3
#

import sys
import os

from lxml import etree

if len(sys.argv) < 2:
    print('Wrong number of arguments:\n => You need to provide a filename for processing!')
    exit()

file = sys.argv[1]

tree = etree.parse(file)
root = tree.getroot()

print("<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\"?>\n<!DOCTYPE tmx SYSTEM \"tmx14.dtd\">\n<tmx version=\"1.4\">")
print("\n")
print("\n")

for element in root:
    FileOrigin = (os.path.basename(element.attrib['origin']))
    Product = element.attrib['product']
    Source = element.attrib['source-language']
    Target =  element.attrib['target-language']
    # now the children
    for all_tags in element.findall('.//'):
        if all_tags.tag == "source":
            # replacing some troublesome and unnecessary codes
            srctxt = all_tags.text
            srctxt = srctxt.replace('^n', ' ')
            srctxt = srctxt.replace('^b', ' ')
            print("<tu>")
            print("\t<prop type=\"FileSource\">" + FileOrigin + "</prop>")
            print("\t<tuv xml:lang=\"" + Source + "\">")
            print("\t\t<seg>" + srctxt + "</seg>")
        elif all_tags.tag == "target":
            # replacing the same troublesome and unnecessary codes
            targtxt = all_tags.text
            targtxt = targtxt.replace('^n', ' ')
            targtxt = targtxt.replace('^b', ' ')
            print("\t<tuv xml:lang=\"" + Target + "\">")
            print("\t\t<seg>" + targtxt + "</seg>")
        elif all_tags.tag == "note":
            if all_tags.text is not None:
                print("\t\t<prop type=\"Note\">" + all_tags.text.replace('^n', ' ') + "</prop>")
                print("</tu>")
            else:
                print("</tu>")
        else:
            next
print("\n</tmx>")

Will probably tidy up a bit and add some more bells and whistles, but in general, this solves my original problem. Perhaps it might help others trying to do some xliff parsing...

A: import xml.etree.cElementTree as ET

tree=ET.ElementTree(file='inputfile.xlf')

root=tree.getroot()

for tag in root.findall('file'):
    t_value = tag.get('target-language')

for tag in root.findall('file'):
    s_value = tag.get('source-language')

The Housing Authority of the City of Colorado Springs hired HB&A to program and design a two phased, twenty-eight building, 100 unit residential neighborhood directly east of southern downtown along Shooks Run.
The existing 6.15-acre site originally contained twenty-two duplex rental properties owned and operated by the housing authority. The renovation of the site required re-platting, rezoning and demolition of the existing structures. Two different building types were designed, single family cottages and Great House apartment buildings. All the buildings are standard wood residential construction and detailed to blend with the character of the surrounding community. The primary building type is a five-unit apartment building designed to resemble a large house. The redevelopment also provides ten single-family cottages. In order to make each 'large house' unique, exterior fiber cement, lap siding and stucco finishes alternate around the site. In addition, three roof configurations, three porch configurations, two porch column styles and three color schemes were developed so no two building are exactly the same. Each unit has its own porch entry.


The big news from this week was from Down Under, where Australian Cate Campbell made a triumphant return to racing in a dramatic fashion. Catch up on all of the races from that meet and more in The Week That Was.
Swimmer Matt Klotz was named the USA Deaf Sports Federation (USADSF) Sportsman of the Year this week. Klotz is a sophomore who competes for LSU and represented the United States at this past summer's Deaflympics, where he won gold in the 50, 100 and 200 backstrokes in addition to silver medals in the 50 fly and 50 free. He set Deaflympic record in all three backstroke races and also set new world records in the 50 and 200 backstroke. Klotz also served as the Team Captain for USA Deaf Swimming.
TYR announced this week that Commonwealth Games gold medalist Ross Murdoch has signed on with the company. Murdoch won gold in the 200 breast at the 2014 Commonwealth Games in 2:07.30, which still stands as the British record, and was also the 2016 European champion in the event. Murdoch joins a rapidly growing list of high profile athletes that have signed on with TYR in the last year, including Ryan Lochte, Lia Neal and Leah Smith. Murdoch most recently finished fourth in the 200 breast at this past summer's World Championships and earned a silver medal for swimming on Britain's 400 medley relay. He will have a chance to defend his 200 breast Commonwealth Games title in Australia in April.
The swimming world learned of the passing of Terry Laughlin, the creator of the "Total Immersion" swim training system. Laughlin had been battling prostate cancer for the past two years and is survived by his wife, Alice, and three daughters Fiona, Carrie and Betsy. The family announced his passing on Monday, "He displayed his characteristic optimism, wit and passion for life—and swimming—until the very end. Our family is in mourning and we ask that we be given time and space to grieve a beloved husband and father privately." Total Immersion is a unique technique-based program that Laughlin founded in 1989 and is centered around teaching efficiency in the water. In lieu of flowers, Laughlin's family "will be accepting donations for the Total Immersion Swimming Foundation, a philanthropic arm of the company."

According to multiple reports, the Brazilian criminal case involving Olympian Ryan Lochte has been reopened following an appeal by the Rio de Janeiro prosecutor's office. Lochte was cleared of criminal charges back in July, but a ruling by the Court of Justice has suspended the decision that dismissed that case. The Olympian, who is making a return to racing after his ban from USA Swimming has completed, had originally been charged for falsely communicating a crime to authorities after the so-called "gas station incident" following the end of the competition at the 2016 Rio Olympics. Jeff Ostrow, Lochte's Florida-based attorney, told USA TODAY Sports they they are disappointed with the decision and plan to continue to fight the case.
Australian Olympians Kyle Chalmers, Jess Ashwood and Cate Campbell made a triumphant return to the pool at the 2017 Australian Short Course Championships in Adelaide. Campbell was the highlight of the meet, returning for her first major competition since the 2016 Rio Olympics. The 25-year-old reclaimed the world record in the 100 free with a blazing fast 50.25, taking back the record from Sweden's Sarah Sjostrom, who has broken it earlier this year. She backed that up with a national record in the 50 free (23.19) the very next day, re-affirming her declaration coming into the meet that she still has unfinished work to do in the pool. Olympic gold medalist Kyle Chalmers also made his return to competition after sitting out World Championships following heart surgery, winning the 100 free in 47.72. Australian Emily Seebohm also continued her reign as the most successful short course swimmer in Australia's history, winning her 26th event title.

While corporations are shipping jobs over seas, politicians are giving the same corporations control over their policies through special interests, and the Supreme Court is giving these same corporations unlimited power in politics. The middle class as we used to know it will soon be gone. So in order to get ahead in life and get out of the rat race I decided to start my own company in 2000 while working full time in construction. Some may say my choice was ill advised especially since I decided to venture into the ever changing entertainment industry. To get by during the infancy of my new company, I continued working in the construction business and as the economy of the country went up and down so did my income. It was after the financial collapse when I was forced, with my back against the wall, to make a life altering decision. I could continue working blindly, hoping that I could make enough money to pay the bills and feed the family, or I could make a change in my life and truly focus on growing my company which had yet to make any profit. It was at that moment that I decided to chase the real American Dream…a life that was not decided by others. I would control my own destiny, and my future as well as my family's would either rise or fall with my entertainment company. I saw no difference in being in an economy that was failing, or building up my own business in an industry that has a high failure rate.
Am I a victim of society that wants a hand out from the government? Or, am I trying to make it on my own? I am not a victim of society, but a product of a society and a city that is ranked 9th in the US in crime and continuously ranked at the bottom of 300 largest cities. Rockford, IL, a city that has been blighted by manufacturing jobs sent to third world countries and an education system completely abandoned. In its place, drugs, gangs and violence are now the things that make my home city famous. Was the decision to change my life hard? No, I had no choice! If I am going to fail, it will be on my own terms, not because some billionaire decided they want a bigger raise, so now my job is expendable. I will not surrender and let my children grow up in a city that offers no hope. I will make sure they succeed in life.

JERSEY CITY, N.J. -- We thought it peculiar back in October when LeSean McCoy took a potshot at Denver Broncos running back Knowshon Moreno.
We thought it even more peculiar when McCoy doubled down a couple of days later, telling reporters that "what I said is what I meant."
Moreno didn't have a clue at the time what he had done to incur McCoy's insults. More than three months later, the Broncos' breakout star is still nonplussed.
"You'll have to ask him, I guess," Moreno said Monday.
"Everyone has their own opinions about teams, about different individuals," Moreno continued. "It is what it is. I'm always focused on this team and trying to get better."
Moreno can't match McCoy's dynamic playmaking ability, but he did finish in the top five among running backs in yards from scrimmage and touchdowns.
Perhaps McCoy was skeptical early in the season because Peyton Manning's ability to read defenses and adjust prior to the snap tends to place Moreno in more favorable situations than other running backs.
Even if the Broncos' record-breaking aerial attack makes Moreno's life easier, it's also true that his skill set has been an ideal fit for the offense.
At Monday's press conference, coach John Fox praised Moreno's "assignment detail" and "accountability and dependability" in the Broncos' passing game.
"You see that in his stats," Fox explained. "You see it with his pass-receiving yardage in combination with the rushing yardage, which is doing all and everything about your job. He's done a tremendous job, and he is maybe one of our most improved players this past season."
There's little question that Moreno's diligence in pass protection and ball security makes him more valuable to the Broncos than other teams.
If he elects to test free-agent waters this offseason, that likely will be reflected in the level of interest he garners.

United People's Freedom Alliance (UPFA) Parliamentarian Namal Rajapaksa and two Provincial Council members were given a written notice to appear before the Hambantota Police Headquarters today (10).
MP Rajapaksa arrived at the Hambantota Police Headquarters to give a statement yesterday (9) over the protest staged in the area last Friday.
The Police Media Spokesperson SP Ruwan Gunasekara said, that MP Rajapaksa along with Parliamentarian D.V. Chanaka,……Southern Provincial Council members Upali Kodikara and Sampath Athukorala and Attorney Ajith Prasanna were summoned to Police to record statements over the unrest that took place during a protest held in Hambantota.
Furthermore, he added that they were asked to come again today to give a statement. According to the Police, nine individuals sustained injuries while 28 suspects were arrested for unruly behaviour during the protest. The suspects were thus remanded till 16 October on charges of damaging public property and disobeying a Court injunction.
The protest was organized by the Joint Opposition demanding the government to refrain from selling State assets to foreign entities.

A necessary, acknowledgeable, and fertile place for artistic composition and effective theoretical decomposition. kom-post is a research and creation group which is setting in motion a process of collective and individual work. Bringing together young cultural actors with diverse sensibilities and wide-spread geographic origins (from countries within or neighbouring a Europe in construction), it calls upon each of them through their specific form of expression, from philosophic discourse to video, photography, performance... kom.post offers the artists, whatever their domain, a space where their subjective words are received and taken up in a common process which, having reached a certain niveau, can be reworked and recomposed within and by the singular practices which make it up and make it their own.
kom.post attempts this level of apprehension in forming an experimental milieu where the European space can be questioned, less in order to define what remains open and in evolution than to experience, at a subjective and intersubjective level, the possibilities of such a geography in motion.
This terrain, with its varying dimensions and whose components meet and coexist following a principal of sameness and difference is as physical as it is cultural : it is the space-time that our generation discovers as a complex of gestures and words, of human faces and mythical figures, of familiarity and "unsettling strangeness".
It is within this multilayered, stratified existence that we situate kom.post. It redoubles the physical characteristic with one ideal and significative, by opening the construction space onto a cultural object which associates the common and the infinitely differential, the collective and the subjective : Oedipus, considered both as the thread that runs through a certain civilisation and as a sinuous element whose twists are capable of revealing the specificity of the subjects who have watched it throughout history.
From the myth to the demystification via the interpretations of psychoanalysis, from Seneca to Deleuze's Anti-Oedipus via Freud's complex, the path of cultural history lies open before us, inviting us to follow and to reexperience, in order to find our own stance just as Oedipus found his, unable to position himself in the world without having first retraced in his own name the path of his origins. The modalities of our work also associate the collective and the individual, are shared through diverse forms and under permanent tension between research and exhibition, between private and public.

Q: How to time a vim session using 'time' I'm trying to log the time I spend working in vim.  I've got a script that works with gvim but when I try to set it up with vim it locks up the terminal session silently or with the message 'Vim: Warning: Output  is not to a terminal'
Here is the script that works with gvim:
#!/bin/sh

workfile="/home/na/writing/fiction.txt"
worklog="/home/na/writing/worktime.log"

d=`date --rfc-3339 date`
t=$( { /usr/bin/time -f "%e" /usr/local/bin/gvim -f -S /home/na/.vim/writeroom/writeroom.vim $workfile; } 2>&1 )
w=`wc -w $workfile`

echo $d $t $w >> $worklog

When I close the gvim window I get a logfile containing a date, the number of seconds I spent editing the file, and a word count for the file.
2011-08-15 700.15 238869 /home/na/writing/fiction.txt

I would like the same using vim in a terminal session.
I understand vim talks to the terminal directly instead of to stdout but I don't care about what vim returns, I want the output from the time command.
These don't work:
t=`/usr/bin/time -f "%e" /usr/local/bin/vim -f $workfile`
t=$( { /usr/bin/time -f "%e" /usr/local/bin/vim -f $workfile; } 2>&1 )
t=$( { /usr/bin/time -f "%e" /usr/local/bin/vim -f $workfile; } )

I suspect there's some combination of backticks and paranthesis that will make this work but I haven't stumbled onto it yet.

A: The backtick or $() operators capture vim's output (what you see on the terminal when opening vim is vim's output from its stdout), so you can't do that.
You could try this instead:
start=$(date +%s)
/usr/local/bin/vim -f $workfile
end=$(date +%s)
duration=$((end-start))
echo "$duration"

A: Some versions of time (eg: GNU's) support a flag to set the output file. eg:
/usr/bin/time -o /tmp/foo vim

If you're using bash you'll need to use the path for time (or a leading \) as bash has a reserved word time which behaves similar to the time command (but operates on an entire pipeline) that does not support the -o flag.


One of the most significant developments in medicine is the introduction and role of Medical software. Best Medical Software services offer specific solutions either on-premise or on cloud. This service can be used by the Medical providers to integrate, plan, track and manage the Medical Software organisation's productive assets, which include people, data, finance, and relationships. The software can manage both the back office and administrative functions at hospitals or medical facility. In other words, this software brings the patient and the doctor closer.
The billing software streamlines the day to day tasks of managing the medical facility. It gives doctors access to various medical records, including features like patient billing information, appointments, insurance claims, office reports. And helps the patient reduce the time and cost of visiting doctor.
The software provides various features and benefits to the doctors and their patients both. Health Records are maintained electronically and hence can be accessed and stored by both patients and doctors anywhere with the help of internet connection.
Helps patient find the best doctors in an instant and book doctor appointment they can search for all doctors like dentists, gynaecologists, neurosurgeons, etc.
While Patient insurance eligibility can book an appointment online, the doctors can manage and view these appointments.
All the doctors, labs and pharmacies are verified. And helps patient get easy support and guidance from the company, in case, there is a need.
The registration of Patient is paperless at the clinic. They are provided with E-Prescriptions sent via Email for records.
The Medical apps are something everybody should try, as it comes with amazing features and usability. Medical could not get more convenient and straightforward. It is changing for the better, and the duty is on us to utilize the services and enjoy them or just hear about them and not use them.


This assignment ran from Oct 9 to Oct 30, 2017.
Before Jane Goodall went to Gombe to study chimpanzees for Louis Leakey, we knew very little about them in the wild. Because of Jane, and her close observations, our knowledge about their behavior greatly increased—and sparked further study, research, and conservation efforts. Before embarking on what would become a 55-year study of chimpanzees, Jane had no previous background in science. She was an average woman following her passion for studying animals. For this Your Shot assignment, inspired by the National Geographic Channel documentary Jane and the October 2017 National Geographic magazine story "Becoming Jane", we want to celebrate and highlight how everyday women contribute to society and our personal lives.
Take a few minutes to think about the women in your life. Your mom, wife, sister, daughter, teacher, mentor—who are the women in your life that inspire you? Maybe you've witnessed her love, perseverance, and achievement. Maybe you've documented or experienced a special moment made possible because of her.
For this assignment, National Geographic photographer Amy Toensing will be our guest curator. Why? Because of her, I am here today as a producer for you, the Your Shot community. I met Amy more than 18 years ago when I was an assistant to two National Geographic photo editors, and she was the photo intern. Even though I was just a kid just out of college, Amy took the time to listen to and answer all my questions. She inspired me. She even let me crash at her apartment when I went to go interview for graduate school at Ohio University — her alma mater. Amy gave me the encouragement I needed to follow my dreams of becoming a photographer.
We look forward to being inspired by the women in your life.
New Your Shot assignment: "The Love of Parents"
In case you missed it, National Geographic photographers Amy Toensing and Matt Moyer are currently curating a Your Shot assignment called "The Love of Parents." I hope you all consider participating.
While you wait for our final story for "Because of Her," I encourage you all to participate and submit to our current assignments, "Unsung Hero" curated by National Geographic photographer Matt Moyer and "Quest for Happiness" curated by National Geographic photographer Matthieu Paley.
Thanks everyone for being a part of the Your Shot family.
In the theme of inspiring women, check out this Nat Geo Adventure gallery of 31 images taken by Your Shot photographers featuring female athletes tackling extreme adventures: "Incredible Photos of Real-Life Wonder Women."
Keep up the great work everyone. I hope you all take the time to encourage one another on the assignment discussion board by favoriting each others' photos, and leaving comments and feedback. Because to me, that is what makes Your Shot special: we are a community — not a contest — where together we will become better photographers and more thoughtful storytellers.
And don't forget to follow us on Instagram (@natgeoyourshot); we often share Editor's Favorites, like this photo by Your Shot photographer Darryl MacDonald: "Hanging Out."
The "Because of Her" assignment is still going, and we've seen some really inspiring images come in. We want to share a few with you as you continue photographing the women in your lives.
As you continue working on this assignment, take your vision a step further and strive to communicate on an emotional level — these are always the strongest images. For example, we love this image of a woman as teacher and role model: "She is also a teacher" by Tuan Truong. We saw a number of images addressing this theme, but this image uses light, color, and mood to communicate on a more emotional level.
Keep introducing us to the women in your lives who inspire you!
Amy Toensing, an American photojournalist committed to telling stories with sensitivity and depth, is known for her intimate essays about the lives of ordinary people. Toensing has been a regular contributor to National Geographic magazine for over a decade and recently completed her fifteenth feature story for them. She has covered cultures around the world including the last cave dwelling tribe of Papua New Guinea, the Maori of New Zealand and the Kingdom of Tonga. She has also covered issues such as the devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina and Muslim women living in Western culture. For 4 years she documented Aboriginal Australia which was published in the June, 2013 issue of National Geographic magazine.


Economics is a social science which studies human behaviour and how it influences the allocation of scarce resources which have alternative uses. Economics describes the factors that determine the production, distribution and consumption of goods and services.
You study economic concepts such as wealth, income, welfare, scarcity, choice, wants, needs, opportunity cost and the factors of production. It studies why people make choices; it forms the basis for governments to make decisions, companies to employ workers and for people to spend or not spend.
Leaving Certificate Economics is divided into two categories: microeconomics and macroeconomics.
Microeconomics deals with how an individual producer (one firm) and a consumer make decisions and attempt to solve their economic problems.
– How do sellers price their goods for buyers? e.g utility, demand, supply, equilibrium and elasticity.
– How much does it cost to be in business? e.g costs of production.
– Market Structures e.g perfect competition, imperfect competition, monopoly and oligopoly.
Macroeconomics is the study of how governments handle the economy as a whole, and how they decide on policies to achieve their goals.
Money and banking, National income, the government in the economy, International trade and the global economy, economic growth and development, economics of population and inflation.
You will also study the schools of economic thought and famous economists of the past.
How can you benefit by studying Economics for Leaving Certificate?
You will understand the economic world of the firm, government and global economy.
You will be able to understand individual, business and government decisions as they relate to the real world.
You will develop communication, literacy, numeracy, analytical and problem solving skills.
All Business courses include economics as a core subject in first year and many other disciplines have it as a compulsory element. e.g Agricultural Science, Social Science etc.
Finance and Management, Teaching, Stock broking, Taxation, Accountancy, Economist, Public Service, Politics, Business analyst, Journalism, setting up your own business. Many careers today benefit from a good background knowledge of the Economic world.

Spirituals is an album by David Murray released on the Japanese DIW label in 1988. It features seven quartet performances by Murray with Fred Hopkins, Dave Burrell and Ralph Peterson Jr.

Reception
The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 3 stars stating "David Murray mostly sticks to spirituals on this Japanese import, a quartet outing with pianist Dave Burrell, bassist Fred Hopkins and drummer Ralph Peterson, but that does not mean that all of the improvising is mellow and melodic. There are some peaceful moments on tunes such as "Amazing Grace" and a spirited "Down by the Riverside," but Murray's playing is so violent on "Abel's Blissed Out Blues" as to be almost satirical. A mixed success from the masterful tenor.".

Track listing
All compositions by David Murray except as indicated

 "Amazing Grace" (Newton) – 5:43
 "Dave Blue" (Burrell)  7:50
 "Blues for My Sisters (For Barbara and Michelle)" – 8:15
 "Nobody Knows the Trouble I've Seen/Down by the Riverside" (Traditional) – 4:24
 "Sunlit on a Dark Afternoon" – 6:30
 "Crucifixion" (Traditional) – 5:23
 "Abel's Blissed Out Blues" (Burrell) – 10:27

What can be a better Valentine's date than having dinner under the starry sky with the love of your life? There are many restaurants that offer this experience. Reserve a table in advance at one such restaurant to avoid last minute fuss. You may even create a good ambiance in your lawn or terrace if you so like and surprise your beloved. Order her favorite food and see her sparkle with the smile. You may even cook for her to make her feel all the more special.
Going for movies is commonplace, why not try going for a play this Valentine's day? However, make sure you and you are beloved like the genre of the play you are heading for. Plays are fun to watch. They offer a different experience. This can be followed by lunch or dinner at your beloved's favorite restaurant.
If your beloved is an art lover and enjoys painting, pottery, and other such stuff then take her to a painting or pottery studio to indulge in some fun. It can turn out to be a perfect Valentine's date for the two of you. You can enjoy these activities together and get to explore each other's creative side. This is going to be something different from the usual dinner and movie dates and thus we are sure you will enjoy it more.
Taking your beloved out for wine tasting can be yet another great Valentine's Date idea. Explore the wineries near you and book a wine tasting session well in advance. Walk around the winery enjoying the beauty of nature. Spend the winter afternoon lazing around in the winery as you taste wine and get tipsy. Arrange for some soft music as you soak yourself in the sun at the vineyard.
If the two of you are adventure freaks and are bored of going on the usual dates, then plan something adventurous this Valentine's date. Take her for a long drive outside the city. Halt at different places on the way to have food, click selfies and enjoy the scenic view. Head out on a bike to make the experience all the more thrilling.
other's a company as you sit beside it.
Whatever you choose and wherever you plan to go for your Valentine's Date, don't forget to dress your best. Red is the color of the day. So, try something in shades of red or maybe pink or orange in keeping with the mood of the day. Also, keep your phone aside and give your complete attention to your beloved to make him/ her feel special.

Q: Sequentially compact subset of $\mathbb{R}^n$ implies $A$ is bounded
Let $A\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ be a sequentially compact set. I want to prove that $A$ is a bounded set.

Since $A$ is sequentially compact, for every sequence $(x_k)\subset A$, there exists a convergent subsequence $x_{k(p)}\subset (x_k)$ which converges to some point $b\in A$. Since $x_{k(p)}$ is convergent, it is bounded, so that $\exists M>0$ such that $\|x_{k(p)}\|\le M$.
Now, I think the idea is to show that the sequence $(x_k)$ must thus also be bounded. I think this can be achieved by proving that if we suppose that $(x_k)$ is unbounded then $(x_{k(p)})$ cannot be bounded. But I do not quite see how to prove this.
My reasoning is that there should probably be some maximum distance between the closest $x_k$ and $x_{k(p)}$, which should indicate that the distance is always finite. But how do I show that?

A: Suppose $A$ is unbounded, so that for all $n\in\mathbb N$, there exists $x_n\in A$ such that $\vert\vert x_n\vert\vert > n$. Can you show that the sequence $(x_n)$ doesn't have a convergent subsequence?


Hi my name is Lolly and I'm a 12 year old girl looking for my new home. I'm a very active girl who loves to explore, I love having a cuddle however I can also be a bit sassy. I need a confident owner who is willing to put up with my sassy side and embrace my cuddly side.
I was brought in as I wasn't getting on with the small child in my old home. I've heard that black cats can struggle to find new homes, I hope this won't apply to me as I'm so cute!
If you think I may be the right cat for you then please pop in and see me. If you are in rented accommodation then please bring in landlords permission and anyone wanting to adopt me will need proof of address as well. If you are looking to adopt me then our fee is £65 which I think will be a bargain for me (I'm spayed, microchipped and vaccinated).

What is the difference between the total R Value and an added R Value?
Total R value is the total of each and every element that makes up the construction of a building, and includes wall/ceiling/underfloor applications such as brick, plaster, internal air, cement sheeting and so on.
Added R value is what the Foilboard® Insulation Panel combined with the adjacent still reflective airspaces adds to a particular system. The actual amount of airspace adjacent to the material will have a profound impact on the R value – the larger the space, the higher the R value. If the airspaces are ventilated or classified as open the R values will not be very high at all.
What makes an airspace classed as ventilated and what bearing does that have on the R Values of Foilboard®?
A ventilated airspace is an airspace adjacent to the reflective face of the material that is exposed to either the outdoor elements or man made ventilation such as air conditioning. It has a huge impact on an insulation panel's ability to reflect radiant heat.
It is important to note that all Reflective Foil Laminate products including the Foilboard® Insulation Panel are reliant on these still/unventilated/enclosed airspaces. Without these the system is not as effective.
For further information please contact the technical department at Foilboard Australia Pty Ltd.
Is the Foilboard® Insulation Panel environmentally friendly?
Yes! There are no Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC's), nor are any CFC's used in the manufacture of the Expanded Polystyrene (EPS). The pure aluminium that is directly laminated to both sides of the Foilboard® Insulation Panel is also 100% recyclable.
Designed with sustainability in mind the Foilboard® Insulation Panel will last the life of the building. It is one of very few products on the market that creates a true thermal break, meaning the long term benefits of the Foilboard® Insulation Panel far outweigh any other insulation material. The material's ability to create a more consistent ambient temperature means you are not reliant on inefficient artificial heating and cooling. This reduces energy use and the production of greenhouse gases creating a more sustainable future for all.
How does the Foilboard® Insulation Panel compare to traditional wrap and batts?
Whatever your insulation requirements, the Foilboard® Insulation Panel eliminates the need for the supply and installation of two separate products at different stages of construction. It also speeds up the construction process by getting you up to lock up stage much sooner.
The most important benefit of the Foilboard® Insulation Panel is that it provides a true thermal break around a building while providing equivalent and beyond R Values in comparison to labour intensive batts and wrap.
Yes you can, provided you adhere to specific installation instructions or advice from Foilboard Australia Pty Ltd. If you have an alternative application, please contact the technical department.
Will the Foilboard® Insulation Panel ever delaminate?
Foilboard® Insulation Panel has been tested for both wet and dry delamination with excellent results. Please refer to the technical information section for further clarification.
How reflective is the Foilboard® Insulation Panel compared to other products on the market?
All types of reflective insulation have different reflective qualities, and these are expressed as a level of emissivity (a product's ability to reflect radiant heat). The lower the emissivity values the higher the ability to reflect radiant heat. Most reflective insulation on the market reflects between 85-95% of all radiant heat.
It is important to know that the anti glare side of the Foilboard® Insulation Panel has been tested to be as effective in terms of reflective qualities as the pure aluminium surface. Because of this, the Foilboard® Insulation Panel is incredibly effective in creating high thermal ratings.
What impact does an enclosed airspace have on reflective insulation?
All reflective insulation is heavily reliant on the airspaces adjacent to the material to be either still/enclosed/unventilated. If this airspace is open and ventilated it does not provide a thermal break in conjunction with the reflective insulation panel. Open or ventilated air spaces adjacent to insulation panels will reduce the system's overall R value.
Can the Foilboard® Insulation Panel be cut easily?
Yes. Simply use a snap blade/Stanley knife or similar and preferably cut in a horizontal position as it will promote an easy clean cut. Make sure you use a straight edge to ensure accurate measurements.
Can the Foilboard® Insulation Panel be installed in conjunction with bulk insulation?
Yes. Although the Foilboard® Insulation Panel is designed to replace the need for bulk insulation altogether, you can combine the two if your design and energy rating requirements call for it. It is important to note that the R value of the system will vary as a result. For technical advice contact Foilboard Australia Pty Ltd.
What is the thickness/size of the sheets?
The Foilboard® Insulation Panel is available in 4 different thicknesses depending on your application. Please refer to systems for further information. Sheet size is 2440mm x 1200mm however a 2700mm x 1200mm is also available in the Standard 10mm and Super 15mm in Victoria only. Sheet sizes can vary (less than 1%).
Why do I need to tape the joins?
Taping of all joins is recommended as it guarantees a perfect seal between the sheets. It is this seal that will eliminate any thermal leakage that can result in a reduction in R Value. It is important to use the Green UV PVC tape recommended by Foilboard Australia Pty Ltd as it maintains adhesion to the aluminium surface and will not break down when exposed to UV light for extended periods.
When installed in walls, does it matter whether the Foilboard® Insulation Panel is installed horizontally or vertically?
We recommend that the individual panels are installed horizontally as it creates more fixing points. This will strengthen the sheet in the event that the external cladding or brickwork is delayed, ensuring the panels will remain fixed to the building frame even in the most extreme weather conditions.

What We Learned This Week
Posted By Sara Libby On February 5, 2017 @ 6:49 am In News,What We Learned This Week | No Comments
It's not a secret that President Donald Trump has a strained relationship with the media.
But a post this week by Lewis Wallace, a transgender reporter for Marketplace, who says he was fired for writing something that emitted the slightest whiff of opinion [1], kicked off a new round of media soul-searching about the role of objectivity and whether reporters are allowed to be real people.
For what it's worth, Voice of San Diego recently codified our beliefs and values into a document [2] to help the public – and our journalists – understand what we want our work to accomplish and what we expect from reporters.
Nieman Lab pointed out that Marketplace does [3] let some reporters wade into opinion territory [3]:
"It's odd to see the same news organization, on one hand, brag about how it has moved beyond the viewlessness of old norms and given its senior journalists room to express their opinions, while on the other firing a junior staffer who had expressed thoughts that would barely be considered controversial in a Media Studies 101 class."
Two things about Wallace's jumped out to me, and they both deal with this tension of news outlets acknowledging that the land around them is shifting while simultaneously clinging to old norms.
Wallace didn't just write this one blog post, he notes that he was required to keep a personal blog as part of his Marketplace job in order to build his personal brand. That means that Marketplace seems to have carved out a weird space in which it encourages a personal brand and discourages being an actual person.
The second is Wallace's note that he was the only transgender reporter at Marketplace. News organizations, like all companies, are under increasing pressure to diversify their staffs in order to bring a broad swath of perspectives into the newsroom and reach wider audiences. That's a wonderful and vital goal – but it involves more than just hiring folks and quitting there. Trump's words and his policies so far impact minorities and other vulnerable populations more than they do other people. To expect people to remain wholly, impenetrably neutral as their rights are being assailed is, I think, unreasonable.
Reporters are people – we call radio and TV journalists "personalities," after all. They are refugees [4]. They are women [5]. They are newly naturalized citizens [6]. They are Muslim [7].
The assumptions that Hillary Clinton would win the presidency belied a big disconnect between Trump voters and the media. After the election, calls ramped up for journalists to do more to understand and tell the stories of everyday Americans – and rightly so.
But those calls should work both ways. Journalists should do everything they can to uncover the concerns bubbling in their communities. But community members too could do well to realize that news is not produced by objective, unfeeling news robots. It's created by real people, who feel the same fears and frustrations as everyone else.
What VOSD Learned This Week
Did you guys know there is a football event happening today? In the run-up to the Super Bowl, Annie Heilbrunn and I did a podcast episode on the plight of the lady football fan [8].
But truth be told, it's been a rough year for all San Diego football fans – male and female. Jared Whitlock checked in with several local news outlets about how they plan to cover the Chargers moving forward. No one seems to know for sure [9]. And good news if you ever thought to yourself, "Man, I wish this stadium debate would keep going!" There's a new MLS proposal on the table to satisfy your withdrawals [10], and Scott Lewis and Andy Keatts hashed it out on the podcast.
Often when we talk about homelessness, housing and transit, solutions are hard to come by. But we tackled three of them this week – including their potential and their challenges:
The county wants to house more than 1,000 severely mentally ill homeless people. Unsurprisingly, it's finding that's hard to do [11].
A new school of thought on density is emerging [12] as the city continues to drag its feet on building more housing.
A transit expert has some ideas for how to make rail travel between San Diego and L.A. much faster and easier [13].
The oversight group that investigates complaints against the Sheriff's Department is dealing with more open death investigations than ever [14]. And the bottleneck is impacting other investigations, too.
San Diego Unified still isn't delivering on the promises it made to hire local workers [15] to build its major projects.
Meanwhile, one big criticism of charter schools that's always swirling is that they can amplify school segregation. Mario Koran examined that claim locally [16] and discovered many reasons why it's hard to unravel. On the Good Schools for All podcast, Scott Lewis and Laura Kohn tackle charter school myths and Trump's pick for secretary of education [17].
And an SDSU student who's part of our Storyboard project writes in a personal essay that California's old approach to English-learners like her was to force students to abandon ties to their culture [18].
This week the city kicked the can down the road on regulations for supply-side pot businesses — the ones that grow, manufacture and test marijuana. Maya Srikrishnan broke down why an outright ban on those businesses might be bad for the economy and the environment [19].
The street performers who play music or other types of entertainment in hopes of tips think the city is restricting their free speech rights by policing who can perform where [20].

3:00-4:30pm, Room 3, City Wall Space
Imagine a small island, divided into two parts with each respective community having close to no contact with each other for more than three decades following an extended conflict. Picture this small place with not only a dividing line running through its entirety but two different sets of everything – religion, language, institutions, and even media. Consider that each side refuses to recognize the other and that the media here is polarized and politicised, representing the views and interests of the two different communities, and essentially amplifying the dominant narrative about the "other" bar a few marginalized alternative media outlets. In addition to this imagine that civil society and citizens in general do not really have a "voice" through mainstream media – that almost all forms of activism work around social change and peacebuilding are left in the margins of the media sphere.
This is the context from which the civil-society-led Cyprus Community Media Centre (CCMC) emerged in Cyprus and between 2007 and 2012, not only established itself as an institution but carved its own niche as the only real bicommunal, bilingual media institution on the island representing all the communities.
This panel explores the emergence of the Cyprus Community Media Centre in the UN buffer zone in Nicosia, supported by the UN Development Programme Action for Cooperation and Trust in Cyprus (UNDP-ACT). The panel will include discussion of the CCMC's organizational structure and origins in Turkish Cypriot and Greek Cypriot civil society organizations, as initially developed through the UNDP-ACT involving participatory communication and development processes. Digital storytelling projects involving participants from Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot communities in 2010 and 2011 are explored as a method of building bridges between the divided communities in keeping with the CCMC mission.

Ravens cut Ray Rice in wake of latest domestic violence video; NFL suspends him indefinitely
By Cindy Boren
Mark Maske
September 8, 2014 at 2:22 p.m. EDT
The Baltimore Ravens cut Ray Rice, hours after new video of his domestic violence incident surfaced on TMZ and, shortly afterward, the NFL suspended him indefinitely.
The team announced the decision on its Twitter feed Monday afternoon. Rice, the Ravens' 27-year-old running back, was serving a two-game suspension stemming from the domestic-violence incident involving his then-fiancee in the elevator of an Atlantic City casino last winter. In video that was posted by TMZ shortly after the incident, Rice could be seen dragging the unconscious Janay Palmer, now his wife, from the elevator. On Monday morning, TMZ posted another video showing the actual punch. A social media storm ensued and the Ravens took action hours later.
The #Ravens have terminated RB Ray Rice's contract this afternoon.
— Baltimore Ravens (@Ravens) September 8, 2014
Rice, who pleaded guilty to a third-degree aggravated assault charge, entered a pretrial diversion program and is undergoing counseling. He and Palmer, whom he married not long after the incident, held a joint press conference in May in which she said she regretted her role in the incident. After his suspension was announced in July and drew a storm of criticism for its length in comparison to drug infractions, Rice apologized, saying, "I made the biggest mistake of my life. I want to own it."
[Related: NFL players, broadcasters react to Rice release and suspension]
Although he initially defended the punishment given Rice, Commissioner Roger Goodell reversed course on Aug. 28, announcing a strict new conduct policy for domestic violence offenders. "I didn't get it right," he wrote in a letter to NFL owners. "Simply put, we have to do better. And we will."
Players involved in future domestic violence cases will be subject to a six-game suspension for a first offense and a lifetime ban for a repeat offense. A repeat offender would be permitted to apply for reinstatement to the league after one year.
"After seeing the shocking video of Ray Rice beating his fiancee, it's appalling that the criminal justice system in New Jersey essentially gave him a free pass," Becky Bond, political director of CREDO, said in an email. "The NFL did the right thing and suspended Ray Rice from football, but we have a long way to go in solving our nation's violence against
women problem."
Rice missed the Ravens' season-opening loss Sunday to the Cincinnati Bengals and was to have missed Thursday night's game against Pittsburgh. He was to have rejoined the team Friday and now is a free agent, able to play for another NFL team following his suspension. At this point, that seems like a distant possibility.
Until Monday, the Ravens were staunchly in Rice's corner. Players stood in support during his press conference in July and owner Steve Bisciotti said, "I don't think now is the time to abandon him." Coach John Harbaugh echoed that. "I stand behind Ray — he's a heck of a guy."
On Monday, that changed.
"There's no place for that, striking a woman like that," a former teammate, Michael Oher, said. "I saw the video."
More on Ray Rice
NFL says it had not seen new video:
The NFL said Monday that league officials had not seen a graphic video said to depict the February domestic violence incident involving Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice and his then-fiancee in Atlantic City before making a decision on Rice's widely criticized two-game suspension.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has since called the duration of the suspension a mistake while toughening the sport's penalties for future domestic violence offenders. It was not immediately clear if the NFL would consider revisiting its disciplinary action against Rice in the aftermath of the video's release Monday by TMZ.
Sally Jenkins:
About Roger Goodell's raised consciousness. About the NFL commissioner's seemingly unbidden turnabout on the subject of domestic violence, his uncharacteristic admission that he "didn't get it right" when he suspended ex-Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice only two games for socking his fiancé unconscious, while throwing the book at marijuana tokers. About the curious timing of Goodell's much-congratulated epiphany, and the Ravens' sudden moral outrage, and the appearance of that stomach-heave inducing elevator video on TMZ, in which Rice decks his bride so hard she drops like a piece of lost luggage from an airplane bay.
The Ravens promptly terminated Rice's contract on Monday and Goodell, ever in pursuit of a stainless suit-coat, reopened the case and suspended Rice indefinitely under his revised policy on domestic assault, given this graphic "new" evidence. But really, what did Goodell and the Ravens think a professional football player knocking his wife unconscious looked like?
NFL players react to video:
The discussion over the NFL's controversial decision to suspend Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice for just two games was reopened Monday, when a new video surfaced of the domestic violence incident. The video, leaked to TMZ, shows Rice knocking out his then-fiance, now-wife in an Atlantic City elevator. Previously, the only video made public was the aftermath of Rice's actions — his wife being pulled out of the elevator unconscious.
A lot of NFL players — both current and former — weren't happy then, but now, several are outraged and they're making their grievances public by taking to Twitter to condemn Rice and the league for failing to provide what they see as a punishment that fits the now very evident crime.
Some within NFL believe league erred on punishment:
The NFL's decision to suspend Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice for two games for a domestic violence incident involving his now-wife has focused sharp criticism on the league and Commissioner Roger Goodell for a penalty that many considered too lenient.
While the league has defended its action and there is a measure of support for it within the NFL, particularly inside the Ravens organization, some of those in and around the sport say the public outcry over the issue is understandable and meaningful.
Ray Rice gets standing ovation:
There has been an interesting distinction in the debate and furor that arose last week when Ray Rice was given a two-game suspension by the NFL because of an offseason domestic violence incidence involving his now-wife Janay.
Video of the incident was disturbing, but the primary outrage was directed at the NFL for what was deemed to be an insufficient suspension, one inconsistent with others handed down, rather than Rice. That didn't change Monday when the running back took the field at the Baltimore Ravens' first open practice of training camp.
Rice, always a popular player, was cheered repeatedly by fans when he was shown on the big screen at M&T Bank Stadium and was given a standing ovation when he raced a child along the sidelines.
Does NFL have a women problem?
The NFL sent a message with its latest disciplinary move, suspending Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice because of a domestic incident that it deems to be a violation of its personal conduct policy. Unfortunately, the recipients of Commissioner Roger Goodell's message are women.
Rice was suspended the first two games of the season after a February incident in which he allegedly knocked his then-fiancée unconscious in the elevator of an Atlantic City casino. The incident was captured on disturbing video and Rice entered a not-guilty plea to a third-degree charge of aggravated assault. He avoided trial by being accepted into a pretrial intervention program in May. The following month, he met with Goodell, who can use the league's personal-conduct policy to suspend players even if they are not charged or convicted of a crime.

Detention of a Radicalised Singaporean and Suspension of Order of Detention Under the Internal Security Act
Singaporean Ahmed Hussein Abdul Kadir s/o Sheik Uduman (Ahmed), a 33-year-old Information Technology Engineer, was detained in August 2018 under the Internal Security Act (ISA).Investigations showed that he was radicalised and wanted to undertake armed violence in Syria in support of the terrorist group Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS).
Ahmed's path to radicalisation began in 2013 when he turned to the Internet for religious knowledge.Among other things, he followed the lectures of foreign radical ideologues, such as Anwar al-Awlaki (the deceased Al-Qaeda ideologue) and several others who have been arrested or imprisoned for inciting violence or espousing support for terrorism.He grew to believe that the use of violence in the name of religion was justified and by late 2016, he was convinced that he should fight and die as a martyr for ISIS in its self-proclaimed caliphate in Syria and Iraq.
Ahmed maintained regular contact with foreign pro-ISIS individuals on social media to keep up with the developments in ISIS.He also tried to influence some of his foreign online contacts to follow the violent teachings of the radical ideologues whom he had been following, because he wanted them to support ISIS.
Release on Suspension Direction
Munavar Baig Amina Begam (Amina), a 39-year-old self-radicalised individual, was issued with a Suspension Direction[1] (SD) in July 2018.She was detained in November 2017 for supporting ISIS and harbouring the intention to make her way to Syria to join the terrorist group.Her Order of Detention was suspended in July 2018 and she was released from detention, after it was assessed that she no longer posed an imminent security threat that required her to be placed in preventive detention.
[1] A person issued with a SD must abide by several conditions and restrictions. For example, the person is not permitted to change his residence or employment, or travel out of Singapore, without the prior approval of Director ISD. The person also cannot issue public statements, address public meetings or print, distribute, contribute to any publication, hold office in, or be a member of any organisation, association or group without the prior approval of Director ISD.
