A coloring book for modern girls featuring modern princesses.
256 backers pledged $6,479 to help bring this project to life.
What is Her Highness Builds Robots?
Her Highness Builds Robots is a coloring book featuring modern princesses for the modern girl.
At some point in her life, almost every girl wants to be a princess. And that's great! Within the last few years, there have been a handful of a "new breed" of princesses who are as ambitious as they are kind and sincere. But these few recent examples are competing against the thousands of years of princesses who are valued only for their beauty, their docility and their ability to find a wealthy, royal husband.
We want more realistic princesses and we want them now.
Princesses who have science experiments to design. Who open art galleries. Go skydiving. Build robots. Princesses who were a little bit more like....all of the ambitious and smart and talented and courageous little girls you know!
This coloring book aims to blend the fun fantasy of castles, horses, and ball gowns with the diverse aspirations of real girls. We do this by depicting seven unique princesses of different races, body types, personalities and interests.
What is in the coloring book?
Our coloring book consists of 40 images, 20 sets of two-page vignettes. The first page of each scene hints at a princess stereotype, and the second page adds a new, modern and empowering twist to the princess's life. Each of our 7 princesses is featured in 2-3 scenes.
Here is our first princess, Princess Priya!
Princess Priya loves to play board games with her prince and is passionate about science. She received a PhD. in Chemical Engineering with a focus on improving food processing techniques.
Our second princess, Princess Rafa!
Princess Rafa is an avid artist who also loves to ride horses. In her spare time, she writes and directs plays in addition to sharing her artwork with others.
Our third princess, Princess Jae!
Princess Jae loves to debate policy, wear clothes made in America, and watch Meet the Press. When she's not in her courtroom, Princess Jae writes a blog about girls and the Constitution. Her biggest dream is to become President Jae!
Wow, those drawings are awesome! Who is doing them?
Since we cannot draw to save our lives, we were fortunate to find the incredible artist Tyler Feder to draw our princesses. Tyler, a talented artist who runs a successful Etsy shop, has done an amazing job of bringing our princesses from idea to page.
Cool! How do I get a coloring book?
Thanks for asking, just back our project! Check out our rewards along the right side of the page for a full list, but to make a long story short... The first 50 backers to pledge $12 will receive a coloring book after that you will need to pledge $15.
In order to reach our goal of bringing diverse and complex princesses into the world, we need your help. This $2,500 will pay for our artist, printing, mailing, rewards, and other fulfillment costs.
If you would like to see more modern princesses who can play chess, write plays, and build robots, we hope you'll become a backer today!

RIPI Develops Polymeric Membranes for Water Treatment
TEHRAN (RIPI) -- Iran's Research Institute of Petroleum Industry has successfully obtained the technical savvy for production of polymeric membranes for purifying water.
Fatemeh Rekabdar, the team leader of the project to develop the membranes, called membrane technology one of the newest and most modern technologies in today's world, and said: "Today, this technology is one of the best methods used for treatment of water and wastewater in different industries and facilities producing industrial wastewater."
Therefore, RIPI has committed itself in recent years to develop the membrane technologies in oil, gas and petrochemical industries, she said.
The director of the project further emphasized that the construction of the membrane was carried out at RIPI's Research Center for the Development of Chemical, Polymer and Petrochemical Technologies, and stated that, a committee was first formed to identify the research literature related to this field as well as client-centered projects in other industries.
There are various types of membrane processes that are used in water treatment, which include microfiltration, ultrafiltration, nanofiltration and reverse osmosis, and RIPI is currently working on microfiltration and ultrafiltration membranes, the senior researcher went on to say.
She further said that RIPI has closed ranks with the Petrochemical Research and Technology Company in the project, adding the membranes are being introduced in petroleum projects and will be commercialized.
"New membrane methods in the field of water treatment have a higher efficiency, and since chemicals are not used in membrane methods, they can replace conventional water treatment methods and yield cleaner wastewater or even turn them to clear water," Rekabdar further added.
She said the pilots of MF, UF, and RO membrane processes have been established at RIPI, and said: After completion of the process steps, the construction of each membrane module was put on the agenda and the first module is the UF systems whose membranes are based on polymer membranes. RIPI can now supply the module in an industrial scale.
The team leader for the project further touched on application of membrane processes, saying treatment of urban, sanitary, industrial wastewater, separation and recycling of valuable materials such as precious metals from industrial wastewater, treatment of the wastewater produced by some production units, refineries and petrochemical facilities, and recovery and consumption of wastewater in agriculture and even production of drinkable water can be made possible by exploiting such membranes.

\section{Introdiction}

Nowadays the study of nonlinear functionals becomes one of
attractive fields in topology and functional analysis. For
example, in the papers [1] -- [3] so called \textit{max-plus} or
idempotent linear functionals have been considered. Such
functionals have  various applications in mathematical physics,
economics, dynamical optimization and other fields. Another
example of nonlinear functionals is given  by the notion of
capacity on compacta introduced by Choquet [4]. In [5] various
classes of nonlinear functionals have been considered and
investigated . Order-preserving, weakly additive functionals on
the algebra of continuous functions on a given compact Hausdorff
space were considered in [6]. Note that nonnegative linear
functionals, \textit{max-plus} functionals and capacities are
order-preserving and weakly additive.

In this paper we consider the functor $O_\tau$ of order-preserving
$\tau$-smooth functionals in the category $Tych$ of Tychonoff
spaces and their continuous mappings, and for a given Tychonoff
space $X$ we establish that if $X$ is \v{C}ech-complete, then the
space $O_\tau(X)$ of $\tau$-smooth order-preserving functionals is
also \v{C}ech-complete .

Earlier proven the Baire category theorem  for the class of all
completely metrizable spaces has been generalized for the case of
\v{C}ech-complete spaces. Therefore one of the important questions
in the theory of covariant functors is whether a functor preserves
\v{C}ech-completeness of spaces.

We denote by $\mathbb{R}$ the set of all real numbers, by
$\mathbb{N}$ the set of all nonnegative integers,  spaces mean
topological spaces, $\overline{A}$ is the closure of $A$ in the
considering space, compact is compact Hausdorff topological space,
maps (or mappings) are continuous ones.

\section{On properties of order-preserving functionals }

Let $X$ be a compact and let $C(X)$ be the Banach algebra of all
continuous real-valued functions with the usual algebraic
operations and with the $\sup$-norm. For functions $\varphi,\
\psi\in C(X)$ we shall write $\varphi\leq\psi$ if
$\varphi(x)\leq\psi(x)$ for all $x\in X.$ If $c\in \mathbb{R}$
then by $c_X$ we denote the constant function which is identically
equal to $c.$

We recall that a functional $\mu : C(X)\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ is
said [6] to be:

1) \textit{order-preserving} if for any pair $\varphi, \psi\in
C(X)$ of functions the inequality $\varphi\leq\psi$ implies
$\mu(\varphi)\leq\mu(\psi)$;

2) \textit{weakly additive} if
$\mu(\varphi+c_X)=\mu(\varphi)+c\mu(1_X)$ for all $\varphi\in
C(X)$ and $c\in R$;

3) \textit{normed} if $\mu(1_X)=1$.

For a compact $X$ we denote by $W(X)$ the set of all
order-preserving weakly additive functionals $\mu :
C(X)\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$, and by $O(X)$ we denote the set of
all normed functionals from $W(X)$. It is clearly that $W(X)$ is a
subset in the product $\mathbb{R}^{C(X)}$. Equip $W(X)$ with the
induced topology, which coincides with the pointwise convergence
topology on $W(X)$. Note that in this topology the space $O(X)$ is
compact, for any given compact $X$.

For a given continuous map $f:X\rightarrow Y$ between compacta by
$$
O(f)(\mu)(\varphi)=\mu(\varphi\circ f),\ \qquad \varphi\in C(Y),
$$
we define the map $O(f):O(X)\rightarrow O(Y)$. Thus we get the
functor $O$ acting in the category $Comp$.

Order-preserving, weakly additive and normed functionals for
brevity we will call as order-preserving functionals.

Note that according to proposition 1 in [7] each order-preserving
functional is continuous.

Let $A$ be a closed subset of a given compact $X$. Since the
functor $O:Comp\rightarrow Comp$ is monomorphic [6], i. e.
preserves embeddings of closed subsets of compacta, we may assume
that $O(A)$ is a subset of the compact $O(X).$ Moreover the
embedding of $O(A)$ into $O(X)$ is given by means of the mapping
$O(i_A): O(A)\rightarrow O(X),$ where $i_A: A\rightarrow X$ is the
identical embedding. Therefore the following notion is well
defined.

Given a closed subset $A$ of the compact $X$, an order-preserving
functional $\mu\in O(X)$ is said to be \textit{supported} on $A$
if $\mu\in O(A)$. The set
$$
\mbox {supp}\mu=\cap\{A:\ \mu\in O(A) \mbox{ and } A \mbox{ is
closed in } X\}
$$
is called the \textit{support} of the order-preserving functional
$\mu.$

Let $X$ be a compact. For a closed $F\subset X$, an open $U\subset
X$, real numbers $\alpha$ and $c$ put
$$\begin{array}{ll}
\mbox{if } \alpha\geq 0, \mbox{ then }
\mu(\alpha\chi_F+c_X)=\inf\{\mu(\varphi): \varphi\in C(X),\
\varphi\geq\alpha\chi_F\}+c\mu(1_X), &(1^+)\\
\mbox{if }  \alpha< 0, \mbox{ then }
\mu(\alpha\chi_F+c_X)=\sup\{\mu(\varphi): \varphi\in C(X),\
\varphi\leq\alpha\chi_F\}+c\mu(1_X), &(1^-)\\
\mbox{if } \alpha\geq 0, \mbox{ then }
\mu(\alpha\chi_U+c_X)=\sup\{\mu(\varphi): \varphi\in C(X),\
\varphi\leq\alpha\chi_U\}+c\mu(1_X), &(2^+)\\
\mbox{if } \alpha< 0, \mbox{ then }
\mu(\alpha\chi_U+c_X)=\inf\{\mu(\varphi): \varphi\in C(X),\
\varphi\geq\alpha\chi_U\}+c\mu(1_X). &(2^-)
\end{array}$$
In this manner  the functional $\mu$  given on $C(X)$ can be
extended onto the following set
$$
\mathcal{X}(X)=C(X)\cup\{\alpha\chi_A+c_X: \alpha, c\in
\mathbb{R}, A \mbox{ is open or closed in } X\}.
$$
Obviously the set $\mathcal{X}(X)$ is an $A$-\textit{subspace} of
the space $B(X)$ of all bounded functions on $X$, i. e. $0_X\in
\mathcal{X}(X)$ and for any $\zeta\in \mathcal{X}(X)$ and each
$c\in \mathbb{R}$ we have $\zeta+c_X\in \mathcal{X}(X)$. Hence by
 the version of the Hahn-Banach theorem [9] it follows that $\mu$
 has an extension $\widetilde{\mu}$ on $B(X)$ such that
$\widetilde{\mu}|\mathcal{X}(X)=\mu$.

The following result has been proved in [8, Th. 1.3].

\textbf{Theorem 1.} \textsl{Let $A$ be an arbitrary subspace of
the given compact $X$, $\mu\in O(X)$. Then for each extension
$\widetilde{\mu}$ satisfying $(1^{\pm})-(2^{\pm})$, the following
conditions are equivalent:}

$(i)$ $\widetilde{\mu}(n\chi_A)=0$ \textsl{for all integers} $n$.

$(ii)$ $\widetilde{\mu}(\alpha\chi_A)=0$ \textsl{for all}
$\alpha\in \mathbb{R}$.

$(iii)$ $\widetilde{\mu}(\alpha\chi_{X\setminus A})=\alpha$
\textsl{for all} $\alpha\in \mathbb{R}$.

$(iv)$ $\widetilde{\mu}(\varphi\chi_A)=0$ \textsl{for all}
$\varphi\in C(X)$.

$(v)$ $\widetilde{\mu}(\varphi\chi_{X\setminus A})=\mu(\varphi)$
\textsl{for all} $\varphi\in C(X)$.

$(vi)$ $\mbox{supp}\mu\subset \overline{X\setminus A}$.

We need the following statement.

\textbf{Proposition 1.}  \textsl{For each open subset $U$ of a
given compact $X$ and for an arbitrary $\varepsilon>0$ the sets}
$$
\langle U; \varepsilon\rangle=\{\mu\in O(X):\
\mu(\chi_U)>\varepsilon\}\  \mbox{ and }  \ \langle U;
-\varepsilon\rangle=\{\mu\in O(X):\ \mu(-\chi_U)<-\varepsilon\}
$$
\textsl{are open in $O(X)$ with respect to pointwise convergence
topology.}

\textsc{Proof.}  For each $\varphi\in C(X)$ and $\varepsilon>0$
put
$$
\langle\varphi;\ \varepsilon\rangle=\{\mu\in O(X):\
\mu(\varphi)>\varepsilon\}.
$$
From the definition of pointwise convergence topology follows that
the set $\langle\varphi;\ \varepsilon\rangle$ is open in $O(X)$.

Consider the following set
$$
\Phi=\{\varphi\in C(X):\ 0_X \leq \varphi\leq\chi_U,\ \mbox{ there
exists } \mu\in O(X) \mbox{ such that }
\mu(\varphi)>\varepsilon\}.
$$
It is clear that $\Phi\neq\varnothing$.

We have
$$
\langle U; \varepsilon\rangle=\bigcup_{\varphi\in \Phi
}\langle\varphi;\ \varepsilon\rangle,
$$
i. e. the set $\langle U; \varepsilon\rangle$ is open in $O(X)$.
Analogously, the set $\langle U; -\varepsilon\rangle$ is also open
in $O(X)$. Proposition 1 is proved.

We note that the sets
$$ \langle U;
\varepsilon\rangle_{\lambda}=\{\mu\in O(X):\
\mu(\lambda\chi_U)>\varepsilon\},\  \qquad \lambda>0,
$$
and
$$
\langle U; -\varepsilon\rangle_{\lambda}=\{\mu\in O(X):\
\mu(\lambda\chi_U)<-\varepsilon\}, \qquad \lambda<0,
$$
are also open in $O(X)$.

\section{Order-preserving $\tau$-smooth functionals}

Let $X$ be a Tychonoff space and let $C_b(X)$ be the algebra of
all bounded continuous real-valued functions with the pointwise
algebraic operations. For a function $\varphi\in C_b(X)$ put
$\|\varphi\|=\sup\{|\varphi(x)|:\ x\in X\}.$ $C_b(X)$ with this
norm is a Banach algebra. For a net $\{\varphi_\alpha\}\subset
C_b(X)$ the notation $\varphi_\alpha \downarrow 0_X$ means that
for every point $x\in X$ at $\beta \succ \alpha$  implies the
inequality $\varphi_\alpha(x) \geq \varphi_\beta(x)$, and
$\lim\limits_\alpha \varphi_\alpha(x)=0_X.$ In this case we say
that $\{\varphi_\alpha\}$ is a \textit{monotone decreasing net
pointwise convergent to zero}.

For a Tychonoff space $X$ we denote by $\beta X$  its
Stone-\v{C}ech compact extension. Given any function $\varphi\in
C_b(X)$ consider its continuous extension $\widetilde{\varphi}\in
C(\beta X).$ This gives an isomorphism between the spaces $C_b(X)$
and $C(\beta X)$. Moreover, $\|\widetilde{\varphi}\|=\|\varphi\|,$
i. e. this isomorphism is an isometry, and the topological
properties of the above spaces coincide. Therefore one may
consider any function from $C_b(X)$ as an element of $C(\beta X).$

\textbf{Definition 1.} An order-preserving functional $\mu\in
W(\beta X)$ is said to be \textit{strongly $\tau$-smooth} if
$\mu(\pm\varphi _\alpha)$ $\rightarrow 0$ for each monotone  net
$\{\varphi_\alpha\} \subset C(\beta X)$ decreasing to zero on $X.$

For brevity strongly $\tau$-smooth functionals we will call
$\tau$-smooth functionals.

For a Tychonoff space $X$ we denote by $W_\tau(X)$ the set of all
$\tau$-smooth order-preserving functionals from $W(\beta X).$  The
set $W_\tau(X)$ is equipped with the pointwise convergence
topology. The base of neighborhoods of a functional $\mu \in
W_\tau (X)$ in the pointwise convergence topology consists of the
sets
$$
\langle \mu; \varphi_1,...,\varphi_k; \varepsilon \rangle = \{\nu
\in W(\beta X): |\nu(\varphi_i) - \mu(\varphi_i)| < \varepsilon \}
\cap W_\tau (X)
$$
where $\varphi_i \in C(\beta X),$ $i=1,...,k$ and $\varepsilon >
0$.

Put
$$
O_\tau(X)=\{\mu\in W_\tau(X): \mu(1_X)=1\},
$$
It is easy to see that equipped with pointwise convergence
topology $O_\tau(X)$ is Tychonoff space.

Let $X$ and $Y$ be Tychonoff spaces and let $f:X\rightarrow Y$ be
a continuous map. Put
$$
O_\tau(f)=O(\beta f)|O_\tau(X),
$$
where $\beta f: \beta X\rightarrow\beta Y$ is the Stone-\v{C}ech
extension of $f.$

Note that the map $O_\tau(f):O_\tau(X)\rightarrow O_\tau(Y)$ is
defined correctly and it is also continuous. Thus we obtain the
operation $O_\tau$ as functor acting in the category $Tych$ of
Tychonoff spaces and their maps [8].

The following theorem, which gives an equivalent definition of
$\tau$-smoothness of order-preserving functionals, was proved in
[8, Th. 2.2].

\textbf{Theorem 2.} \textsl{A functional $\mu\in O(\beta X)$ is
$\tau$-smooth if and only if
$\mu(\varphi_{\alpha})\rightarrow\mu(\varphi)$ and
$\mu(-\varphi_{\alpha})\rightarrow\mu(-\varphi)$ for any monotone
increasing net of continuous functions
$\{\varphi_{\alpha}\}\subset C(\beta X)$, pointwise converging to
$\varphi\in C(\beta X)$ on $X$}.

Now we shall prove a result which can be consider as another
equivalent definition of $\tau$-smoothness of order-preserving
functionals.

\textbf{Theorem 3.} \textsl{Functional $\mu\in O(\beta X)$ is
$\tau$-smooth if and only if $\mu(\lambda\chi_K)=0$ for each
compact $K\subset \beta X\setminus X$ and for every $\lambda\in
\mathbb{R}$.}

\textsc{Proof}. Let $\mu\in O(\beta X)$ be an arbitrary
$\tau$-smooth functional and let $K\subset \beta X\setminus X$ be
a compact. Consider a monotone decreasing net
$\Phi=\{\varphi_{\alpha}\}\subset C(\beta X)$ such that
$\varphi_{\alpha}\geq \lambda\chi_K$ and
$\inf\{\mu(\varphi_{\alpha}): \varphi_{\alpha}\in
\Phi\}=\inf\{\mu(\varphi): \varphi\in C(\beta X),\ \varphi\geq
\lambda\chi_K\}\equiv\mu(\lambda\chi_K)$, where $\lambda>0$. Then
$\mu(\varphi_{\alpha})\rightarrow 0$.  Hence,
$\mu(\lambda\chi_K)=0$. From the construction immediately follows
that $\{\mu(-\varphi_{\alpha})\}$ is an increasing net and
$\mu(-\lambda\chi_K)=\sup\{\mu(-\varphi_{\alpha}):
\varphi_{\alpha}\in \Phi\}$. By the definition
$\mu(-\varphi_{\alpha})\rightarrow 0$. But then it should be
$\mu(-\lambda\chi_K)=0$.

Thus for any compact $K\subset \beta X\setminus X$ and for all
$\lambda\in \mathbb{R}$ the equality $\mu(\lambda\chi_K)=0$ takes
place.

Conversely, let $\mu\in O(\beta X)$ be  a functional such that
$\mu(\lambda\chi_K)=0$ for any compact $K\subset \beta X\setminus
X$ and for an arbitrary $\lambda\in \mathbb{R}$. Consider an
arbitrary net $\Phi=\{\varphi_{\alpha}\}\subset C(\beta X)$,
$\varphi_{\alpha}\downarrow 0_X$. It is sufficient to check the
value $\lambda=1$. Without loss of generality we may assume that
$\varphi_{\alpha}\leq 1_{\beta X}$ for all $\alpha$.

For an arbitrary real number $\varepsilon>0$ consider the set
$$Z_{\alpha}=\{x\in \beta X: \varphi_{\alpha}(x)\geq \varepsilon\}.$$
It is clear that
$K_{\varepsilon}:=\bigcap\limits_{\alpha}Z_{\alpha}\subset \beta
X\setminus X$. Moreover it is easy to see that for $\alpha\prec
\beta$ the inclusion $Z_{\alpha}\supset Z_{\beta}$ is valid.
Therefore $\chi_{Z_{\alpha}}\geq\chi_{Z_{\beta}}$ for $\alpha\prec
\beta$. Hence, $\mu(\chi_{Z_{\alpha}})\geq\mu(\chi_{Z_{\beta}})$.
In other words the net $\{\mu(\chi_{Z_{\alpha}})\}$ is decreasing.
From the equality
$K_{\varepsilon}=\bigcap\limits_{\alpha}Z_{\alpha}$ it follows
that the net $\{\mu(\chi_{Z_{\alpha}})\}$ is  bounded from below
by $\mu(\chi_{K_{\varepsilon}})$. Moreover,
$\mu(\chi_{Z_{\alpha}})\rightarrow\mu(\chi_{K_{\varepsilon}})$.
Hence one has
$$\mu(\varphi_{\alpha})=\widetilde{\mu}(\varphi_{\alpha})=
\widetilde{\mu}(\varphi_{\alpha}\chi_{Z_{\alpha}}+
\varphi_{\alpha}\chi_{\beta X\setminus
Z_{\alpha}})\leq(\mbox{since }  \widetilde{\mu} \mbox{ is
order-preserving})\leq$$
$$\leq\widetilde{\mu}(\chi_{Z_{\alpha}}+\varepsilon_{\beta X})=
(\mbox{by the weak additivity of }
\widetilde{\mu})=\widetilde{\mu}(\chi_{Z_{\alpha}})+\varepsilon\mu(1_{\beta
X})=$$
$$=\mbox{(by definition of } \widetilde{\mu}) =\mu(\chi_{Z_{\alpha}})+\varepsilon\mu(1_{\beta X})\rightarrow
\mu(\chi_{K_{\varepsilon}})+ \varepsilon\mu(1_{\beta
X})=\varepsilon\mu(1_{\beta X}).$$

Now taking $\varepsilon$ convergent to zero we have
$\mu(\varphi_{\alpha})\rightarrow 0$.

One can similarly  establish the convergence
$\mu(-\varphi_{\alpha})\rightarrow 0$. Theorem 3 is proved.

According to Theorems 1 and 3 we can write
$$
\begin{array}{l}
O_\tau(X)=\{\mu\in O(\beta X):\ \mu(n\chi_K)=0  \mbox{ for each
compact }\ K\subset \beta X \mbox{ such }\\
\hspace{4cm}\mbox{ that }\ K\cap X=\varnothing, \ \mbox{ and for
all integers } \ n\}. \ \qquad (3)
\end{array}
$$

\section{The main result}

Recall that a topological space $X$ is called to be
\textit{\v{C}ech-complete} if $X$ is a Tychonoff space and for
some (or, equivalently, for every) compactification $bX$ of the
space $X$ the remainder $bX\setminus X$ is an $F_\sigma$-set in
$bX$ [10, P. 196].

The following statement is the main result of the paper.

\textbf{Theorem 4.} \textsl{If a Tychonoff space $X$ is
\v{C}ech-complete then the space $O_\tau(X)$ is also
\v{C}ech-complete.}

\textsc{Proof.} Let a  Tychonoff space $X$ be \v{C}ech-complete.
Then the remainder $\beta X\setminus X$ is an $F_\sigma$-set in
$\beta X$, i. e. in $\beta X$ there exist closed subsets $K_{n}$,
$n\in \mathbb{N}$ such that $\beta X \setminus
X=\cup_{n=1}^{\infty} K_{n}$. Hence  $X=\cap_{n=1}^{\infty}U_{n}$
is a $G_{\delta}$-set in $\beta X$, where $U_{n}=\beta X\setminus
K_n$ are open in $\beta X$ sets.

Put $F_n=\bigcup\limits_{i=1}^{n}K_n$, $V_n=\beta X\setminus F_n$.
Then $F_n\subset F_{n+1}$ for all $n\in \mathbb{N}$ and $\beta
X\setminus X=\cup_{n=1}^{\infty}F_n$.

According to (3) for each $\mu\in O_\tau(X)$ we have
$\mu(\lambda\chi_{F_n})=0$ for all $n=1,2,...$ and $\lambda\in
\mathbb{N}$. From this  by Theorem 1 it follows that
$\mu(\lambda\chi_{V_n})=\lambda$. Consider decreasing sequence
$\{r_{n}\}$ of positive numbers such that
$\lim\limits_{n\rightarrow\infty}r_{n}=0$. Then for any
$\lambda\in \mathbb{N}$ we have $\mu\in \langle V_n;\
(\lambda-r_{n})\rangle_{\lambda}\cap\langle V_n;\
-(\lambda-r_{n})\rangle_{\lambda}$ (here without loss of
generality we assumed that $r_{n}<\lambda$ for all
$n\in\mathbb{N}$). From this we have the following inclusion
$$
O_\tau(X)\subset\bigcap\limits_{\lambda=1}^{\infty}\bigcap\limits_{n=1}^{\infty}(\langle
V_n;\ (\lambda-r_{n})\rangle_{\lambda}\cap\langle V_n;\
-(\lambda-r_{n})\rangle_{\lambda}).\eqno(4)
$$

Let now $\mu\in
\bigcap\limits_{\lambda=1}^{\infty}\bigcap\limits_{n=1}^{\infty}(\langle
V_n;\ (\lambda-r_{n})\rangle_{\lambda}\cap\langle V_n;\
-(\lambda-r_{n})\rangle_{\lambda})$. Then for all positive
integers $\lambda$ and $n$ we will have
$\mu(\lambda\chi_{V_n})>\lambda- r_{n}$ and
$\mu(-\lambda\chi_{V_n})<-\lambda+ r_{n}$. Hence
$\mu(\lambda\chi_{\bigcap\limits_{n=1}^{\infty}V_n})\geq\lambda$
and
$\mu(-\lambda\chi_{\bigcap\limits_{n=1}^{\infty}V_n})\leq-\lambda$,
because $\{V_n\}$ is a decreasing (with respect to inclusion)
sequence. But then
$\mu(\lambda\chi_{\bigcap\limits_{n=1}^{\infty}V_n})=\lambda$ for
all integers $\lambda$, since $\mu$ is order-preserving and
normed. Hence
$\mu(\lambda\chi_{\bigcup\limits_{n=1}^{\infty}F_n})=0$.

If $K\subset \beta X\setminus X$ is an arbitrary compact then
$\mu(\lambda\chi_{K})=0$ for all integers $\lambda$, since
$K\subset\bigcup\limits_{n=1}^{\infty}F_n$. Therefore (3) implies
that $\mu\in O_{\tau}(X)$. This means that
$$
\bigcap\limits_{\lambda=1}^{\infty}\bigcap\limits_{n=1}^{\infty}(\langle
V_n;\ (\lambda-r_{n})\rangle_{\lambda}\cap\langle V_n;\
-(\lambda-r_{n})\rangle_{\lambda})\subset O_\tau(X).\eqno(5)
$$

The inclusions (4) and (5) imply the equality
$$
O_\tau(X)=\bigcap\limits_{\lambda=1}^{\infty}\bigcap\limits_{n=1}^{\infty}(\langle
V_n;\ (\lambda-r_{n})\rangle_{\lambda}\cap\langle V_n;\
-(\lambda-r_{n})\rangle_{\lambda}).\eqno(6)
$$

The equality (6) means that $O_\tau(X)$ is a $G_\delta$-set in
$O(\beta X)$. Therefore the remainder $O(\beta X)\setminus
O_\tau(X)$ is an $F_\sigma$-set in the compactification
$bO_\tau(X)$ defined as $bO_\tau(X)=O(\beta X)$. Theorem 4 is
proved.

{ Between Earth and Sky by Amanda Skenandore - TLC Book Tour }
Publisher: Kensington (April 24, 2018)
In Amanda Skenandore's provocative and profoundly moving debut, set in the tragic intersection between white and Native American culture, a young girl learns about friendship, betrayal, and the sacrifices made in the name of belonging.
On a quiet Philadelphia morning in 1906, a newspaper headline catapults Alma Mitchell back to her past. A federal agent is dead, and the murder suspect is Alma's childhood friend, Harry Muskrat. Harry—or Asku, as Alma knew him—was the most promising student at the "savage-taming" boarding school run by her father, where Alma was the only white pupil. Created in the wake of the Indian Wars, the Stover School was intended to assimilate the children of neighboring reservations. Instead, it robbed them of everything they'd known—language, customs, even their names—and left a heartbreaking legacy in its wake.
The bright, courageous boy Alma knew could never have murdered anyone. But she barely recognizes the man Asku has become, cold and embittered at being an outcast in the white world and a ghost in his own. Her lawyer husband, Stewart, reluctantly agrees to help defend Asku for Alma's sake. To do so, Alma must revisit the painful secrets she has kept hidden from everyone—especially Stewart.
Told in compelling narratives that alternate between Alma's childhood and her present life, Between Earth and Sky is a haunting and complex story of love and loss, as a quest for justice becomes a journey toward understanding and, ultimately, atonement.
"Gripping and beautifully written, Between Earth and Sky tugs at the heart with its dynamic heroine and unique cast of characters. Though this novel brings alive two historical American eras and settings, the story is achingly modern, universal and important."–Karen Harper, New York Times bestselling author of The It Girls
"A masterfully written novel about the heart-wrenching clash of two American cultures . . . a fresh and astonishing debut." –V.S. Alexander, author of The Magdalen Girls and The Taster
"A sweeping tale of courage, friendship, and love, Between Earth and Sky held me spellbound. This engrossing novel transports the reader to frontier America, amid the tensions between the White Man, the Natives, and those who longed to bridge the gap in understanding and compassion. Skenandore doesn't miss a beat—her elegant prose sings, Alma and Harry's story mesmerizes, and the evocative setting feels all too real. I adored this book!"–Heather Webb, author of Last Christmas in Paris: A Novel of WWI

You all know how I'm a history buff and absolutely LOVE historical novels.
Between Earth and Sky is about a part of our history that I am quite fascinated with, but also a part of history that is sometimes quite difficult to talk about.
It takes place between the 1800's and the early 1900's, at a Christian boarding school who takes in native american children to assimilate into their culture and tradition.
Alma is the main character and the school is run by her father, she is the only white pupil amongst the native american children and is expected to set an example and help them learn the white man's ways.
Years and years in the future, Alma is married and living her own life, far from the heartbreaking life she led as a child, but a newspaper article sends her thoughts right back to those days, right after the Indian Wars.
One of the students that Alma admired, Asku, is now a grown man himself, and being accused of murder. Alma's husband does not want to get involved but agrees to help defend him in the case. Unfortunately for Alma, it means having to revisit old memories and painful days that she would rather leave in her past.
This story was written exquisitely well, painting a very vivid image of the hardships the children had to endure when removed from their reservations and forced to become something they weren't.
It was quite hard to read at times, but only because it makes you feel so deeply for everyone involved. It shifts between her current life and the childhood home she knew.
As a history lover, I have to give this book a 5, it was that good.

Attention Parents & Guardians
Federal guidelines, as set forth in No Child Left Behind Act of 2001, require that school districts identify children who are homeless (temporarily displaced). The federal mandate, and the intention of the Beaver Area School District is to ensure that homeless children and youth have access to free appropriate public education on an equal basis with other children. Children who are homeless, including those living with others, may qualify for assistance for lunch, with school supplies/materials, with tutoring, and with transportation so that they can remain in their school of origin.
If you believe your child(ren) may qualify for this service, please contact the principal of your child(ren)'s school.
Homeless children may be identified as living in the following situations:
Public or private shelters;
Public or private places not designated for/or ordinarily used as regular sleeping accommodations such as vehicles, parks, motels, campgrounds, etc.;
Living with a parent in a domestic violence shelter;
Individuals and/or families living with relatives or friends who have been abandoned or forced out of the home by parents or other caretakers. These individuals may be in temporary shelters awaiting assistance from social service agencies or may live alone on the street or move from place to place among family members, friends or acquaintances. This also includes such youth from ages 18-21 who may still be eligible for educational services in regular or special education.;
Children of migrant families who lack adequate housing;
Children abandoned in hospitals or awaiting foster care; or
School-age, unwed mothers or expectant mothers living in houses for unwed mothers when they have no other available living accommodations.
If your living situation changes during the school year or over the summer, and you and your child(ren) become homeless, please be sure to contact the school. We will work with you so that your child(ren)'s education is disrupted as little as possible.

This book is a collection of song lyrics and limericks. It is primarily a light-hearted look at the worlds of song writing and poetry. But it is much more than that. It is also a patchwork quilt of interviews, autobiography and mythology.
Saw the movie 'Nowhere Boy' last night. It covers a few years in the life of the young John Lennon. His teens were a troubled and rebellious time when he found his mother after being brought up by his Aunt Mimi. His mother dies soon after their reunion. He also discovers music, Paul McCartney and George Harrison. They go sailing off towards the sunset and Hamburg and the rest is history as they say. A must for all John Lennon and Beatles fans. A well made film with 19 year old Aaron Johnson superb as Lennon.
Laughing at your own mistakes can lengthen your life. Laughing at other people's mistakes can shorten it.

ISO 22000 is an auditable standard which integrates the seven principles of the Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) system and application steps developed by the CODEX Alimentarius Commission.
The ISO 22000 FSSC 22000 is a food safety certification scheme managed by the Foundation for Food Safety Certification based in the Netherlands. FSSC 22000 Food Safety System Certification provides a framework to establish a robust Food Safety Management System that can effectively managing your organization's food safety responsibilities and meets the requirements of your customers and consumers. This Scheme is based on international standards such as ISO 22000, prerequisite programmes for specific food sectors and specific FSSC 22000 additional requirements. Besides these three components there's a voluntarily FSSC 22000 - Quality module based on all requirements of ISO 9001.
The Scheme was first released in 2009 and then benchmarked by the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) against the requirements laid out in the GFSI Guidance Document. With the recent update of the Scheme and the addition of scopes for Transport and Storage, Catering and for Retail, the Scheme now provides the opportunity for certification across almost the entire supply chain.
FSSC 22000 is a fast-growing certification scheme, in April of 2017, FSSC 22000 celebrated the banner release of its 15,000th Certificate.
Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) is a systematic preventive approach to food and pharmaceutical safety that addresses physical, chemical, and biological hazards. In the food industry, HACCP is used to identify potential food safety hazards, so that key actions, known as Critical Control Points (CCP's) can be taken to reduce or eliminate the risk of the hazards.
HACCP is an internationally recognised system that assures food safety at all stages of the food chain and provides a more structured approach to the control of food hazards compared to the traditional inspection and quality control procedures. Its emphasis is on prevention and hence, the control of hazards is built into the design, manufacturing, packaging and distribution as well.
As of Jan. 1, 2006, the European Union mandated all food manufacturing facilities that produce food for the European market to incorporate HACCP into their food safety systems.
Starting in the 1990s, various customers in the food chain required their suppliers to have certified HACCP systems. Therefore, a number of countries, including Australia, Denmark, Germany, Ireland, the Netherlands and the United States, developed auditable national food safety management standards (FSMSs).
Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) is a system for ensuring that food is not adulterated, is safe for human consumption and consistently produced and controlled in accordance to established quality and food safety standards. Moreover, GMP is designed to minimise risks in any food production that cannot be eliminated through testing of the final product.
GMP is comprehensive and covers all aspects of production: from materials, to premises, equipments, handling practices, processing, packaging, storage and delivery, even to the training and personal hygiene of staff.
The GMP to be implemented depends on which segment of the food chain that the organization operates. Some examples of equivalent terms used are: Good Agricultural Practice (GAP), Good Veterinarian Practice (GVP), Good Hygienic Practice (GHP), Good Production Practice (GPP), Good Distribution Practice (GDP) and Good Trading Practice (GTP).
GMP is an absolute essential as it provides the foundation for the development and implementation of successful Food Safety Management Systems (FSMS) as well as an assurance of food safety. The upshot is, GMP is a prerequisite for all who are committed to food safety and FSMS standards such as Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) and ISO 22000.
How do we establish the food safety controls that are required?
ISO 22000 requires that all hazards that may be reasonably expected to occur in the food chain, including hazards that may be associated with the type of process and facilities used, be identified and assessed. Hazard analysis helps in establishing the hazards that need to be controlled and those that need not. Subsequently, the organisation is able to determine an effective combination of control measures and come up with the prerequisite programmes and the HACCP plan.
How different is ISO 22000 from ISO 9001?
ISO 22000 has greater requirements pertaining to food safety. For instance, that the Food Safety Management System (FSMS) must conform to appropriate statutory and regulatory requirements, that food safety be supported by the business objectives, procedures such as emergency preparedness, product recall and withdrawal, and that analysis for food safety hazards be conducted as part of the process for planning the safe realisation of food production.
What is the relationship between HACCP and ISO 22000?
HACCP plays a large role in ISO 22000. So, if your company already has HACCP in place, you are one step closer to ISO 22000. ISO 22000 strengthens the HACCP system in several ways. It is a management system standard and as such, has requirements for policy, planning, implementation and operation, performance assessment, management review and improvement. ISO 22000 is also compatible with other ISO management system standards such as ISO 9001.
Poor quality food is not only a health hazard, but is damaging to the reputation of the supplier and impacts upon the bottomline.
Can organisations afford to implement GMP?
Yes. It is more expensive to find and fix mistakes after they have been made, than to prevent them in the first place. As mentioned, GMP is designed to ensure that mistakes do not occur. Implementation of GMP provides the assurance of good quality and safe food and is an investment in improving the credibility and standing of the manufacturer in the eyes of the market and the community.
What are the requirements for application of ISO 22000?
Food premises shall be licensed.
Company is registered with the Registrar of Companies.
Pre-requisite programmes shall be in place and documented.
A HACCP Manual shall be available. The Manual shall be duly signed and dated by the company management with executive responsibility.
The HACCP system shall be developed based on the ISO 22000 and any other requirements imposed by the importing country/countries.
The HACCP system should have been implemented for a minimum of three (3) months.


In the United States, millions of people are affected by domestic violence. This is also sometimes called intimate partner violence. This occurs when someone causes physical, psychological or sexual harm to a spouse or partner. There is a multilayered link between domestic violence and substance abuse which can create unique challenges to addiction treatment.
A 2014 study from the American Society of Addiction Medicine found that 40 to 60% of domestic violence incidents involved substance abuse. They also found that over one in five male abusers reported using substances before the most extreme acts of domestic violence. While there is no evidence to suggest that substance abuse causes domestic violence, there is a lot of evidence to suggest that substance abuse can exacerbate violent tendencies.
According to the United States Bureau of Justice Statistics, 85% of domestic violence victims are women. Women who suffer from substance use disorder are also more vulnerable to domestic violence than women who do not use substances. Also, women who experience domestic violence are more likely to have drug and/or alcohol addiction problems than women who aren't in violent relationships.
Women who have been abused typically deal with other mental health disorders such as depression, anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder. In many cases, these women start abusing substances to mask the emotional pain of the abuse or to self-medicate these mental health disorders.
Domestic violence often involves sexual abuse. There is a link between substance abuse and sexual abuse. In many cases, substances are used in instances of sexual abuse. Alcohol is the most typically used substance in these instances.
The link between substance use disorders and sexual abuse is complex. In many cases, it is a vicious cycle. Victims of sexual abuse are more likely to struggle with substance abuse, and those who struggle with substance abuse are more likely to experience sexual abuse.
Feelings of Shame – Sexual abuse and domestic violence often bring about feelings of shame for victims. When this is added to the shame many people can't overcome to seek drug or alcohol addiction treatment in the first place, it can become immobilizing.
Fear of Not Being Believed – In many cases, victims of sexual abuse or domestic violence have convinced themselves that nothing happened. If they do want to speak out about the abuse, they often fear that others won't believe them, particularly if substance abuse was involved. A lack of honesty about the situation can prevent patients from seeking the treatment they need for the abuse or the substance use disorder.
Fear of Repercussions – In a number of cases, victims of domestic violence or sexual abuse don't come forward because they are afraid the abuser will come after them.
It's important that victims of domestic violence and sexual abuse are able to be completely honest about the incident(s). If they also struggle with substance use disorder, they cannot really be treated for the substance abuse if they aren't also honest about how they have been victims of domestic violence or sexual abuse.
If you suffer from a drug and/or alcohol addiction and you are also a victim of domestic violence or sexual abuse, it's important that you seek treatment as soon as possible. Continuing to self-medicate with drugs and alcohol will not lead to a good outcome. You can never heal from the domestic violence or sexual abuse if you don't also allow yourself to heal from substance abuse.
It's important that you seek out a treatment center that treats co-occurring mental health disorders as well as domestic violence and sexual abuse leads to mental health disorders in many cases. The Recovery Village at Ridgefield has addiction specialists that understand what you are going through. Convenient to the cities of Seattle, Washington and Portland, Oregon, The Recovery Center at Ridgefield is an ideal choice for many patients.

One of the most memorable midterm elections in recent history has passed. Here's what we know.
The midterms turned out largely how they were expected to, with some important exceptions that made waves. D.C. for the next two years will be interesting to watch. With a Republican Senate and a Democratic House, it might be challenging, but that doesn't mean bipartisan legislation won't happen.
Among the races that generated a lot of attention, Democrats have a lot to be excited about, especially in California.
Gavin Newsom is the Governor-elect for California. For the first time in almost 30 years, a succeeding California governor is a member of the same party as their predecessor. In years past, the governorship has gone Republican, Democrat, Republican, Democrat etc.
Dianne Feinstein kept her seat in the Senate, winning a fifth full term, by over 500,000 votes. In hindsight it was a race that ended closer than was initially anticipated. This race went all over the place throughout the night. Going into Nov. 6, Feinstein was expected to win by a large margin, but Democratic state Sen. Kevin de León, who ran an even more progressive campaign then Feinstein, began to creep closer and closer. He proved to be Feinstein's first real competition in years, begging the question, what are de León's next steps?
In terms of state politics, de León now has his foot in the door. Seats across California could be open to him in 2020. A mayoral position could be his next job interview, especially with the name recognition this election has brought him.
Speaking of young progressives, there were big hopes for Southern Democrats that all ended in disappointment for the party. The three rising star candidates in the South all lost their races, although the margins were close and could allow these candidates — all under the age of 50– to preserve their future political options. In Texas, former Rep. Beto O'Rourke (D) failed to unseat Republican Sen. Ted Cruz, losing by 2.6 points. In Florida, Democratic candidate for governor Andrew Gillum lost to former Rep. Ron DeSantis (R) by a little over 40,000 votes — fewer people than the entire USC student body. In Georgia, Stacey Abrams (D) has refused to concede the governor's race to Brian Kemp (R). She said she plans to wait until every single vote is counted and hopes for a runoff to take place next month.
The Democrats won back the House. What remains outstanding is the size of their majority. California has many more votes to count, by our estimates around a million, but already is sending more than one Democrat to Congress and possibly more from California's Clinton Districts.
These were Republican held Southern California congressional districts that voted for Hillary Clinton in 2016. These were all battleground races, many of them toss-up's here is how (most of them) ended up.
In the 49th district, which encompasses Southern Orange County down to Northern San Diego, environmental attorney, Mike Levin (D) will likely replace retiring Rep. Darrell Issa (R). The Associated Press has called the race for Levin.
The 25th district is currently the only battleground district that has gone safely blue. Katie Hill (D) replaces incumbent Steve Knight (R) becoming the first Democrat to represent the district since 1993, and the first woman ever elected to Congress in the district. Knight on the other hand, was the last elected Republican Representative in LA county. Knight conceded to Hill earlier this morning.
In the 39th district former Ed Royce aide, Young Kim (R), a South Korean immigrant, is currently leading Navy veteran and lottery winner, Gil Cisneros by over 3000 votes. Full disclosure: Cisneros and his wife, a USC alum, have donated to the Annenberg School of Communication and Journalism.
In the 48th district, businessman Harley Rouda (D) is favored to replace Dana Rohrabacher (R), unseating one of the longest serving members of the House of Representatives. Rohrabacher has held the seat for nearly 30 years. Rouda leads by a little over 2,000 votes, but vote-by-mail ballots have yet to be counted.
Finally, in the 45th district, incumbent Mimi Walters (R) appears to have edged out UC Irvine Law Professor Katie Porter (D). Walters was about 6,000 votes ahead as officials continued to count mail-in ballots.
Overall a good turnout and outcome for Democrats in California. However, Senate Democrats lost many of their competitive races, as Republicans strengthened their majority in the Senate. In Indiana, Senator Joe Donnelly (D) lost to Mike Braun (R). In Missouri, Senator Claire McCaskill (D) lost to Attorney General Josh Hawley (R). And in North Dakota, Representative Kevin Cramer (R) ousted Democratic Sen. Heidi Heitkamp. It seemed the trend that Democratic incumbents who voted against confirming Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court, lost, and the one vulnerable Democrat who voted yes, Sen. Joe Manchin (D) of West Virginia, was reelected. However, on Wednesday, Sen. Jon Tester (D) of Montana squeaked out a narrow victory despite opposing Kavanaugh.
It was an eventful and fun midterm cycle, and both parties have lots to be excited about, but of course it's far from over. In the following weeks and months, more races will be called, votes will be recounted, and the country will begin to feel the effects of these outcomes. Continue to tune in to Annenberg Media to stay updated through it all.
The race for 2020 begins now.

Messiah, Can I Keep My Rolls?
Parshas Naso
This week in the parsha, we read about the korbanos (sacrifices) that were brought by the heads of each of the tribes after the completion of the Tabernacle. The Torah describes each sacrifice in full detail – precisely what was brought and in what quantity. This leads to a great deal of repetition, because each sacrifice was exactly the same as the others. Why did the Torah take up so much space? Could we not have merely read the contents of the sacrifices once, followed by the order of the tribes?
Rabbi Shmuel Greinemann of Bnei Braq tells us how it came to be that every tribal head brought the same offering. The decision, he said, was set on the second day, when Nesanel ben Tzuar of the tribe of Yissachar came forward. He obviously knew what sacrifice had been presented the previous day by Nachshon ben Aminadav of Yehudah, and he _chose_ to appear with exactly the same. His intent was to avoid jealousy, which could have arisen had each one brought a different offering — each could have attempted to "outdo" the others. This effort to avoid jealousy, and demonstrate honor and friendship between these tribal heads, was exceptional. Rabbi Greinemann explains that G-d was so pleased that He permitted the seventh sacrifice to take place on the Sabbath (even though individuals' sacrifices were normally prohibited), and also recorded the sacrifices – in full – for all generations.
Thus we learn how important it is to avoid doing things that will inspire jealousy. If this is so concerning a spiritual matter like sacrifices, how much more true is it when concerning material goods?
We live in a generation busy "keeping up with the Joneses." Everyone wants to make a mint — and show it off. The wealthy hold Bar Mitzvah parties in football stadiums. It's fine to paste "We're Ready for Moshiach!" [the Messiah] on the back of a Rolls-Royce, but what if the Messiah says you have to go up to Israel without your car?
Someone recently said to me, "you're a .org, right? That's why you're still here!" The ".com boom" was fueled by the amount of venture capital a company could acquire, and the size of the operation it could build. Everyone had to be big — no, HUGE. As we know, the ability to make a profit serving customers was often a lost art. Many of the survivors today are companies which did not play that game, which did not leap for the glory of being the biggest, the grandest, the deepest in red ink.
Judaism doesn't call for being an ascetic, but it does ask for a reasonable restraint of our material pursuits (material goods are one thing, materialism quite another). And not only is there an inherent problem of running after wealth; there is also the issue of inspiring jealousy from friends and neighbors. The tribal heads in our parsha gave quite generously to the Tabernacle upon its dedication, and yet carefully demonstrated mutual love and respect instead of trying to "go one better." Could we find more worthwhile models?

Q: I can't get a ListView to display the names of files in a folder Thanks in advance for any help,
I'm trying to get a listview on the main activity to display the names of files in a folder, despite doing research here and on tutorials, I just can't get if to work and I don't know why.
Here is the row.xml for the listview row textview:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<TextView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
          android:id="@android:id/text1"
          android:layout_width="fill_parent"
          android:layout_height="wrap_content"
          android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge"
          android:gravity="center_vertical"
          android:textColor="@color/black"
          android:paddingLeft="6dip"
          android:minHeight="?android:attr/listPreferredItemHeight"
        />

here is the main_activity.java:
String extStorageDirectory = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString();

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState){
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    ListView listView1 = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.actions);

    File directory = new File(extStorageDirectory
            + "/Android/data/com.tobin.backup");

    String[] filenames = directory.list();

    if (filenames == null){

    }

    else{

        ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,
                android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, filenames);

        listView1.setAdapter(adapter);

    }

I have no idea what is wrong, thanks for the help!
Edit: Here is the main activity layout: http://pastebin.com/cTkwRCNQ

A: Would you by chance be missing either
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
or
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
In your manifest file? Using WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE will give you both read and write permissions.

A: Problem seems to be with you activity_main.xml. Try activity_main.xml with only listview  in it and setting listviews layout_width and layout_height to fill_parent and the file list should show up. Then modify xml if needed.

For our San Sebastian getaway last week, we flew into Bilbao from Dublin. And if there's one thing Bilbao is known for [of many things], it's the Guggenheim Museum.
When I was in my second or third year of college, our entire year went on a trip to Bilbao to see the Guggenheim Museum. I didn't go because at the time I couldn't afford it. Big welp. So when we booked our recent flights through Bilbao airport, there was no way I was missing out on some Gugg for a secondtime.
It was a bit of a close call. The only time we could visit was before our return flight home. Our flight was at 16:35 and we arrived at Bilbao airport [via direct bus from San Sebastian] at 14:00, so we jumped on the next bus into Bilbao, suitcases in hand, and ran to the Guggenheim.
No, we didn't go in. I know, sacrilegious. We had just enough time to admire the building itself and its Frank Gehry-ness in all of its splendour. And admire we did. As quickly as we could, in the near 30°C midday heat. I ran, snapped pictures like a starved paparazzi tailing a Kardashian, and in 20 minutes we were on our way back to the airport.
Dem curves tho, girl. Dayum.
So tell me, have you ever done a drive-by on a tourist attraction? I would have loved to take a proper chilled walk around it [and in it], but I figured €600 on amending return flight tickets would have been a bit of a splash.
Wow – what stunning architecture!! You got some great shots of it – I'm glad you at least got to see it, even if it was at breakneck speed!
We felt really rushed and were a bit panicked to be honest that we wouldn't get back to the airport in time for our flight home, but looking back, I'm so glad we did it. It's truly magnificent.
Gehry's stuff is instantly recognizable. I would hate to be his model maker. But at the same time, that is the only way he designs. Crazy-cool.
Hahah, I totally agree. One of my favourite quotes from him – "It's so stupid looking that it works". His stuff is incredible. He is incredible.


Does chiropractic care help with neck pain with pinched nerves?
When your neck becomes arthritic and painful, the bones and inflamed soft tissue can compress the nerves that travel through the neck and down the arms. This is called osteoarthritis and degenerative joint disease (DJD). More specific to the bones in the spine, this is called degenerative disc disease (DDD). When you have degenerative disc disease and it presses on a nerve, it is called a radiculopathy, and it will cause pain that travels down the arm, tingling in the fingertips or arm, and numbness in the fingertips or arm. If a radiculopathy gets bad enough, it can cause the muscles to shut down, and this can be a surgical case, rather than a chiropractic case.
But before it becomes a surgical problem, can chiropractic care fix it?
A paper published in the journal Clinical Rehabilitation took a good look at the current published evidence to find out. They noted that cervical radiculopathy is often treated by conservative methods. These conservative methods include non-steroidal-anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS), oral steroids, computerized cervical traction (decompression), manual therapy, cervical collar.
NSAIDs are a very common for the common person to use. It's available over the counter, and you can buy as many as you want for very cheap. The problem with NSAIDS is that they tear up your stomach–they can cause ulcers. NSAIDS are actually a very common cause of illness or death in around the world. NSAID use has been associated with ulcers, serious cardiovascular events, hypertension, acute renal failure, and worsening of previous heart failure. Use them sparingly.
Cervical collars use to to be used more commonly for neck pain, but in the past couple of decades, you don't see them being used anymore. This is because the supportive collar can make you dependant on it to move through your life. It can make the muscles in your neck shrink. And worse, this kind of brace can reinforce your pain avoiding behavior, rather than confronting the painful area with better function. It's pretty well-known in chiropractic and physiotherapy that we should use cervical collars sparingly.
Because more and more people are using spinal manipulation around the world, these reviewers are in China, they wanted to take a critical look at how it works. They recognize that when you have your neck adjusted, it provides pain relief accompanied by an audible pop. They surmise that within the joint, there is a gapping in the facet joints and a reflex relaxation of the supporting muscles of the spine. This allows better circulation in the soft tissue in the joints and supportive ligaments in the spine, and it accelerates your body's ability to heal itself.
These researches looked at over 2500 articles to find out what research was available for neck pain, radiculopathy, and manipulation. They sorted through them and only found 3 studies that met their exact criteria. They found that the three studies were of "moderate" quality. What this is is an understated way of saying that the studies were really good. They're not gold standard, but they were very well designed. All three studies were randomized controlled trials. Some people in the studies got the treatment, and some got no treatment, and the patient's outcomes were compared.
What they found was that in all three studies, the patients with pinched nerves improved compared to the patients that had no treatment or computer traction. Spinal manipulation works better than traction. Not only does cervical manipulation work better than other forms of treatment, but it has an immediate effect with treatment. Getting adjusted gives you an immediate, palpable improvement in the way you feel. You feel like pressure is released immediately.
In summary, this review is similar to the guidelines published by the North American Spine Society. The NASS guidelines are evidence-based reviews that give spine doctors a roadmap for treatment when they have patients with certain conditions. For patients with low-back radiculopathy, they recommend spinal manipulation by chiropractors as the first course of care. Spinal manipulation has positive evidence in support of it, while certain medications have no evidence, or evidence against their use. There is no evidence in support of exercise or stretching techniques for treating a pinched nerve. Only chiropractic adjustments show improvement for lumbar spine radiculopathy. This study shows the same for the neck.
Even Harvard Medical School recommends chiropractic care for pain relief.

Mamata Banerjee Decides To Skip Niti Aayog Meet, Bengal BJP Chief Calls Her 'Anti-National'
Lashing out at West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, state BJP chief Jay Prakash Majumdar said she was behaving like an 'anti-national' and trying to throttle the growth of the state.
Outlook Web Bureau	07 June 2019
Outlook Web Bureau	2019-06-07T18:17:53+05:30 Mamata Banerjee Decides To Skip Niti Aayog Meet, Bengal BJP Chief Calls Her 'Anti-National'
West Bengal BJP chief Jay Prakash Majumdar on Friday poured scorn on state chief minister Mamata Banerjee after she announced her decision to skip the Niti Aayog meeting scheduled for June 15.
Lashing out at Banerjee, Majumdar said she was behaving like an "anti-national" and trying to throttle the growth of the state.
The Trinamool Congress (TMC) was quick to hit back, saying it does not need lessons on nationalism or development from a "communal party like the BJP".
Talking to PTI, Majumdar said Banerjee's move was against the interest of the nation.
"When the entire country is moving forward under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Mamata is the only one opposing it. Even chief ministers of Congress-ruled states are attending the Niti Aayog meeting.
"This (Mamata's decision) is against the interest of the nation. She is behaving like an anti-national, trying to scuttle the growth of Bengal," he said.
Earlier, Banerjee expressed her inability to attend the meeting of the policy think-tank, saying it was "fruitless" as the body had no financial powers to support state plans.
"Given the fact that the Niti Aayog has no financial powers and the power to support state plans, it is fruitless for me to attend the meeting of a body that is bereft of any financial powers," Banerjee said in a letter addressed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Modi is set to chair the fifth meeting of the Niti Aayog's Governing Council on June 15 to discuss various issues regarding the country's development.
Criticizing the TMC supremo for her decision, BJP state president and first-time MP Dilip Ghosh said her excuse to skip the meeting was "lame".
"Her decision reflects that she is yet to accept her defeat and wants to politicize everything. While doing so, she is affecting the development of the state. She should be ashamed of it," Ghosh said.
"Only she has a problem with Niti Aayog, other chief ministers don't. Banerjee is giving lame excuses as she does not want to attend the meeting," he said.
Hitting out at the BJP leadership, state food supplies minister Jyotipriyo Mullick said it was for the chief minister to decide whether she wants to attend the meet.
"What is the point in attending a meeting that would not bear any result? The BJP can't force us to attend any meeting; it is the prerogative of the chief minister... Also, neither the TMC nor Mamata Banerjee needs lessons on nationalism or development from a communal party like BJP," Mullick added.
Banerjee's decision to skip the think-tank meeting comes amid a heightened political tussle between the TMC and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in West Bengal.
With the saffron party bagging 18 out of 42 Lok Sabha seats in the just-concluded general election, its leaders have asserted that they would overthrow the Trinamool Congress government in the 2021 assembly polls.
The TMC, which had won 34 seats in 2014, was able to secure 22 seats this time.
Last month, Banerjee had given Modi's swearing-in ceremony a miss, contending that the BJP's claim that 54 of its workers were killed in political violence in Bengal was "completely untrue".
