Placebo's Brian Molko on why we need to break the stigma around discussing mental health
The band are currently holding an auction of 'iconic' items to raise money for CALM
By Andrew Trendell
Placebo's Brian Molko live
Placebo frontman Brian Molko has spoken out about breaking the stigma that surrounds discussing mental health – having battled with depression first-hand himself.
The band are currently auctioning off a huge selection of personal items, rarities and memorabilia – using their ongoing 20th anniversary celebrations to raise money for The Mercy Centre in Bangkok, as well as CALM (The Campaign Against The Living Miserably). Both are causes very close to the band's heart, and the latter is one of the leading charities to raise awareness of the mental health struggles for young men in the UK.
"They're pretty iconic items," Molko told NME about what's on offer to their fans in the auction. "For example, we have the jumper that I wore in the 'Pure Morning' video, we have the space suit that I wore in the 'Special K' video, clothes from the stage or album artwork. There's also a lot of rarities in the form of a Japanese mini-album of the 'Nancy Boy' single, posters. These are clothes that we don't wear any more and they've just been in a cage where we store our equipment. We've been talking about doing it for years, so we thought around the 20th Anniversary Tour would be a good time to do it – to put these items to good use."
'Am I depressed?' Help and advice on mental health and what to do next
He continued: "The money is going to the Mercy Centre in Bangkok, which is a home for underprivileged children which we've supported for a long time. And we're also giving money to CALM, the Campaign Against Living Miserably. They're trying to raise awareness of male suicide among young men in the UK. The rate is really, really quite high. We need to remove the stigma surrounding depression, and one of their goals is to get more men to talk about their feelings instead of keeping it all inside and isolating one's self – and eventually ending up with quite a tragic outcome."
Molko added that to beat the stigma that surrounds depression, we first need to normalise and be a lot more open to listening, as well as talking.
"CALM is a charity that's close to my heart because depression is a condition which I suffer from myself," Molko told NME. "There are various forms of help out there.
"It's a disease like any other. Depression and addiction are both recognised by the World Health Organisation as diseases. If someone had MS or cancer, you would listen to them. There's still a stigma attached to depression, and a lot of men in particular feel that it's a sign of weakness to talk about it. What we're trying to do with CALM is remove that stigma in society."
The band voiced similar sentiments earlier this year when they paid tribute to their friend Chester Bennington, who tragically took his own life earlier this year.
Placebo's auction runs until Friday October 6. Visit here for information and to view the items.

The central hour and minute hands are read traditionally, while the small second hand is positioned at 3 o'clock. The skeleton date dial is positioned at 6 o'clock. Instad of a hand, the minute timer on the chronograph function features an ultra-light aluminium disc resembling the blades of a turbine. Essential for calculating speeds, the tachymeter scale appears on the khaki flange.

State aid: EU Commission approves €21 million Belgian scheme to support the production of coronavirus-relevant products in the Flemish region
22/06/2020 MaP COVID-19, Finance, News 0
The European Commission has approved a €21 million Belgian scheme to support the production of coronavirus-relevant medical products, equipment, technologies and raw materials in the Flemish region.
The scheme was approved under the State aid Temporary Framework adopted by the Commission on 19 March 2020, as amended on 3 April 2020 and 8 May 2020. The public support will take the form of direct grants and will be open to all companies active in the Flemish region, except for financial institutions.
The aim of the scheme is to incentivise companies to direct their activities to the production of certain products that are crucial to tackle the current health crisis, including vaccines and treatments, medical equipment and devices, disinfectants, data collection and processing instruments.
The Commission found that the scheme is in line with the conditions set out in the Temporary Framework. In particular: (i) the measure will have an incentive effect i.e. companies would not carry out the investment in the absence of the aid; (ii) the support will cover up to all investment costs necessary for the production and all costs related to trial runs; and (iii) the scheme will not be accessible to companies that were already in difficulty on 31 December 2019.
The Commission concluded that the measure is necessary, appropriate and proportionate to fight the health crisis, in line with Article 107(3)(c) TFEU, and the conditions set out in the Temporary Framework. On this basis, the Commission approved the measure under EU State aid rules. More information on the Temporary Framework and other actions taken by the Commission to address the economic impact of the coronavirus pandemic can be found here.
The non-confidential version of the decision will be made available under the case number SA.57605 in the State aid register on the Commission's competition website once any confidentiality issues have been resolved.

Any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement, including the breach, termination, validity, interpretation and performance thereof ("Dispute") shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures specified in this Article 00, which shall be the sole and exclusive procedures for the resolution of any such Dispute.
The parties shall attempt to resolve any dispute arising out of or relating to this [Agreement][Contract] promptly by negotiation between executives who have authority to settle the controversy and who are at a higher level of management than the persons with direct responsibility for administration of this contract. To initiate a negotiation, a party shall give the other party written notice of any dispute not resolved in the normal course of business. Within  days after delivery of the notice, the executives of both parties shall meet at a mutually acceptable time and place, and thereafter as often as they reasonably deem necessary, to attempt to resolve the dispute. All negotiations pursuant to this clause are confidential and shall be treated as compromise and settlement negotiations for purposes of applicable rules of evidence.
If the Dispute has not been resolved by negotiation in accordance with paragraph (A) within 50 days after delivery of the Notice, [or if the parties failed to confer within 40 days after delivery of the Notice], [or if the party receiving the Notice failed to submit to the other a written response within 20 days after delivery of the Notice], [or at any time if one party expressly refuses to participate in the negotiation in accordance with paragraph (A), then the parties shall endeavor to settle the Dispute by mediation under the CPR Mediation Procedure [Or: the CPR European Mediation Procedure (1996)] then currently in effect [Or: in effect on the date of this Agreement. Unless otherwise agreed, the parties will select a mediator from the CPR Panels of Distinguished Neutrals [and, if they require it, shall notify CPR to initiate a selection process].
If the Dispute has not been resolved by mediation within 35 days after appointment of the mediator, [or at any time if one party expressly refuses to participate in the negotiation or mediation in accordance with paragraphs (A) and (B), then either party may submit the Dispute to arbitration as the exclusive means of resolving it in accordance with paragraph (C). All communications during the negotiation and mediation pursuant to paragraphs (A) and (B) are confidential and shall be treated as compromise and settlement negotiations for purposes of applicable rules of evidence and any additional confidentiality and professional secrecy protections provided by applicable law.
Any Dispute not resolved through negotiation or mediation in accordance with paragraphs (A) and (B) shall be finally resolved by arbitration in accordance with the CPR Rules for Non-Administered Arbitration of International Disputes then in effect [Or: in effect on the date of this Agreement by three arbitrators, one appointed by each of the parties, and the third arbitrator who shall act as chair of the Tribunal [Or: a sole arbitrator] [Or: three arbitrators not appointed by the parties. The arbitration shall be held in [city, state, country]. The arbitration proceedings shall be conducted in the [specify] language. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, the law governing this arbitration agreement and the arbitration proceedings shall be the arbitration law of the place of arbitration. Judgment upon the award may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof.
As is the case with any dispute resolution clause, this multi-step clause could include additional paragraphs, covering questions such as provisional remedies, interim relief, tolling of statute of limitations, issues of continued performance, and right of termination.
1 In international cases with proceedings outside of the U.S., it is advisable not merely to rely on the comparatively firm U.S. case law on the shorter "any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement," but additionally to spell out the full array of possible controversies.
2 Cf. fn. 2 supra. For this time period, CPR's domestic multi-step clause suggests 45 days, and its international clauses suggest 60 days. If the negotiation procedure under paragraph (A) were to include the optional requirement of a second layer of negotiations by "more senior executives," this cut-off date should be delayed to 60 days.
3 Unlike CPR's existing domestic multi-step clause, the draft international clause allows either party to opt out (by way of express refusal to participate) and to take the dispute directly to arbitration. Under the existing clause, in the event that one party fails to participate, only the other party can accelerate the proceedings. Further, the draft clause's standard "expressly refuses to participate" removes much of the ambiguity of, and is thus preferable to, the standard "fails to participate" in the existing clause.
4 "In effect" is preferable because it is unlikely that parties would want a mediation, for example, in 2005 conducted under procedural rules that were in effect but replaced, for example, in 1994. The old rules were presumably replaced for a good reason. In addition, it is generally accepted that the retroactive application of procedural rules (as opposed to substantive law rules) does not create a due process issue.
5 Cf. fn. 2 supra. CPR's domestic multi-step clause suggests 30 days for this time period, and its international clauses suggest 45 days.
6 Cf. fn. 6 supra.
7 The combination of "may" in paragraph (B) and "shall" in the introduction to paragraph (C) is intended to eliminate the problem that, because parties occasionally do not want to infer that a dispute that cannot be settled by negotiation and mediation "must" be arbitrated, the formulation "may" alone is chosen (which can have the unintended side-effect to make the clause ambiguous as to whether arbitration is the exclusive dispute resolution mechanism).
8 Different from what is the case in CPR's existing multi-step clause, this paragraph should relate to, and thus protect, both the negotiation and mediation step.
9 Cf. fn. 7 supra.
10 The CPR International Rules, in their Article 5.1, distinguish between these three kinds of tribunals.
11 Although this sentence is merely declaratory, it may help to prevent the losing party from attempting to have the award set aside in any other country but the country where the award was rendered.

waterboarding: more hypocrisy from the left
Move over, Megyn Kelly, there's a new girl in town!
Ex-CNN reporter Eileen O'Connor says Susan Roesgen should apologize
by Cassy Fiano in media 4 Comments
While Megyn Kelly will always have a special place in the girl-crush section of my heart, she might have to move over to make some room for Carrie Prejean, the now infamous Miss California. The more I hear from her, the more I like her. While Perez Hilton has reacted to the situation viciously attacking her, Prejean has handled the controversy with grace, class, and tact. And, she's apparently a conservative, too!
I have to agree with Prejean about Perez. I read his blog often. And the amount of anger and hate that he cranks out every day, along with his reaction to this controversy, is very telling. He clearly is someone who harbors an intense amount of anger. It's sad. Where does Perez have to go from this? He can continue on trashing people and tearing them down, and sure, maybe he'll get beyond the C-List celebrity status he's acquired. But where will he be long-term? How will he feel when he looks back on his life? What can he say he's accomplished?
I feel pretty certain that Carrie Prejean will look back on all of this and not feel ashamed or like she wasted her life on meaningless anger. Can Perez say the same thing? I highly doubt it.
Knott Buyinit says:
Considering their apparent respective world views, which one would you let baby-sit your 9-year-old son, "Perez" or Carrie? So why should anyone listen for a minute to what "Perez" has to say? I think Carrie Prejean is a pearl of great price and, even though the Bible warns us about the dangers of passing judgment, we are also advised a few verses later not to cast our pearls before swine. It would have been better for "Perez" to have been left in his sty.
Melinda P says:
Carrie is a total class act. She was kind and courteous through her whole TV interview. Could Perez say the same? No, he had to resort to calling her a dumb b*tch in order for anyone to listen to him. Just goes to show you his beliefs and values. I'm so glad that Carrie had the guts to stand up and speak her mind even though she knew it would be unpopular with Perez.
Shaniquequa says:
Man it sucks she'll never be bicurious. I would totally tap that if she was and if she was for gay rights. But hell, too bad.
Lynn Krill says:
Megyn doesn't have to move over for anyone with me. I've adored her ever since I first saw her reporting the news from Washington, DC. Her husband is one lucky guy.

Imprisoned Man On Hunger Strike to Protest Abuse, Life in Danger
December 07, 2019 | By a Minghui correspondent in Fujian Province, China
(Minghui.org) Mr. Zhang Jing was sentenced to five and a half years in prison in December 2018 for distributing materials about Falun Gong.
Mr. Zhang of Fuzhou City, Fujian Province, started a hunger strike in June 2019 to protest the abuse he suffered in Fuqing Prison in Fujian Province. He lost more than 40% of his weight in a few months and he is now on the verge of death.
Many Falun Gong practitioners have been imprisoned in Fuqing Prison during the past 20 years. The prison officials established a special ward to hold brainwashing sessions to target the practitioners steadfast in their faith and torture them mentally and physically.
Sentenced to 5.5 Years
Mr. Zhang Jing, 45, was arrested on April 30, 2018, while handing out materials with information about Falun Gong.
The police ransacked his home and took him to a detention center. He held a hunger strike and was released two weeks later.
Mr. Zhang later demanded the return of items confiscated from his home, only to be arrested again.
He was sentenced to five years and six months on December 13, 2018, and ordered to serve time at Fuqing Prison.
Abused and Denied Meeting with Lawyer
Mr. Zhang was transferred to the special ward holding brainwashing sessions in June 2019. He was forced to squat all day and his legs became swollen. To protest the mistreatment, he held a hunger strike.
When Mr. Zhang's parents visited him on September 25, 2019, they learned that his weight had dropped from 155 pounds to about 90 pounds. They wrote to the prison officials requesting that Mr. Zhang be moved out of the special ward, but to no avail.
The prison officials notified his parents of his hospitalization on November 7, 2019. They also said Mr. Zhang asked to see his lawyer. When his parents saw him later that day, he was only skin and bones and spoke in a low and weak voice. They couldn't stop crying at the sight of their son's suffering.
His lawyer traveled from another city to visit him the next day. However, the prison reversed their decision and refused to grant a meeting as promised. The lawyer waited for nearly two hours but was still unable to meet with Mr. Zhang.
Crimes Committed in Special Ward
The special ward with brainwashing classes at Fuqing Prison was established in 2009. Falun Gong practitioners were forced to attend the brainwashing sessions and write statements to renounce Falun Gong. Those who refused to comply were forced to stand facing the wall, squat or sit for long periods of time. They were also beaten and deprived of sleep.
Mr. Lin Wenwei from Xiamen City was tortured to the verge of death with his whole body covered in bruises in November 2010. He passed away shortly after his family brought him home.
Mr. You Changliang from Ningde City became paralyzed because of the persecution in 2012. He was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment.
Mr. Zuo Fusheng was subjected to brainwashing for two years between 2012 and 2014. Since he still refused to give up his faith, the prison guards instigated the inmates to beat him up until his left eye became blind. Despite his severe internal injuries, the guards hung him up for another six hours after the beating.

Tiffani Thiessen Dishes On The Joy Of Cooking For Her "Saved By The Bell" Co-Stars
Celebrities, Haute Cuisine, News
Photo Credit: Lars Niki/Getty Images for Gourmet Garden
Tiffani Thiessen has come a long way from her days at Bayside High and hanging out in the 90210 (although at 46, she still easily looks like she could be in college). She become known for her passion for cooking, which has manifested itself in her Food Network Series "Dinner at Tiffani's" and her cookbook, "Pull Up a Chair." Now, she's working with Gourmet Garden, a division of McCormick, that specializes in herbs and spices that are ready to use, to create her haute cuisine. We caught up with her to discuss her collaboration with the brand, how she discovered the joy of cooking and which of her "Saved by the Bell" co-stars (and his wife) reacted to her fare in a momentous way.
When did you discover your passion for food/cooking?
Truly watching my mom, my aunt and grandmother cooking together, laughing and bonding over creating a meal, sparked the passion and made me eager to be in the kitchen with them.
Tell us about your work with Gourmet Garden, what it is, how you began working with them, and why others should look to do the same.
I've been a fan for a while. It's a great product that allows me to save time in the kitchen.
Does cooking relax you? What's your process? Put on some music (what), follow a recipe, trial and error?
Cooking is another creative outlet for me. I don't tend to follow recipes as that's where the creativity part comes into play for me.
As a mother, how important is cooking for not only for yourself, but your family?
Cooking together is a way for us all to disconnect from everything going on and truly spend time connecting as a family. I look forward to spending those moments with them.
What are your culinary "mom" rules? What can't your kids eat?
I wouldn't say I have a lot of culinary "mom" rules… other than making sure they eat a balanced meal. And dinner always before dessert, right?
What do you not allow yourself to eat (or eat incrementally)?
I don't deprive myself from anything. I would say I try to eat pretty clean during the week and have a little more fun on the weekends, but sometimes I break the rules ha.
Has your series and cookbook opened up other culinary opportunities?
Absolutely! Being able to collaborate with brands I love, like Gourmet Garden. As well as being a part of fun food and wine events.
Do you have a restaurant in the works? If so, what's the concept and where will it be?
No, not just yet, but something I have thought about.
What are a few of your favorite restaurants around the world?
Gucci Osteria da Massimo Bottura in Florence, Kutir in London, Pizzana or Petit Trois in LA and ZZ's Clam Bar in NYC.
Have you ever cooked for any of your former "Saved by the Bell" cast members? Who, if so?
Yes! Both Mark Paul [Gosselaar], Mario [Lopez] and Elizabeth [Berkley] were guests on my show, "Dinner At Tiffani's." And the last time I cooked for Mario and his family, Courtney, his wife, went into labor, ha.
What to you is the greatest luxury in life and why?
Wine, wine and wine. Don't think it needs an explanation.

Next day drain chickpeas, cover with fresh water in a medium pot, bring to the boil straining off any foam, let cook at a high simmer for 10 minutes.
In a slow cooker, put dried chilies, garlic, and 1 teaspoon sea salt. Add chickpeas after the 10 minute high simmer.
Set slow cooker to high and cook for 4 hours.
Slice, dice and mince all vegetables--I mince garlic and ginger together in a food processor.
In a heavy bottomed pan, I use cast iron, set on medium heat combine the chickpeas, and sauce and reduce until thick, about 6-8 minutes stirring occasionally. The flavors should meld and vinegar's harshness cook off.
Correct chickpeas and sauce for salt. The taste should be a beautiful balance of sweet, spice, heat and sour. Sometimes a bit more salt will bring out the right balance.
Layer the saucy chickpeas with the roasted veggies ending with the colorful veggies on the top. Keep warm until served.
I was perusing through Clifford Wright's Mediterranean Vegetables cookbook and found a recipe for a Tunisian zucchini and lamb casserole with chickpeas. It looked delicious, and I do adore lamb stews, but lamb is not a frequent guest at my table so I wondered about making something with just the chickpeas. I love North African spice combinations and the harissa. You might be surprised to see a North African recipe with caraway, but it's actually used a lot throughout the Mediterranean.
I've been making my own 'quick' chili sauces by stewing dried chilies with my beans as they cook and then pureeing and straining them. They then do double duty by lending depth to the chickpeas, and making a rich chili sauce.
Grinding fresh whole spices and reducing the sauce over the chickpeas really makes this dish. The secret of its luxuriant taste is the sherry vinegar reduced with the sauce, I also added a bit of high mineral sugar to make sure the reduction springs forward. I can't emphasize enough how salt opens up your tastebuds, adding just the right amount will allow you to hear all the players.
Clifford Wright's recipe deep fries the zucchini, and doesn't have onions or sweet peppers. I like my roasted version because of the meld that happens between all the sweet summer flavors.
This recipe may look complicated, but it's not. It's one of those get in the flow recipes, do this part, and come back, to do that part, and finally bring it all together. Really, there's nothing stressful or needing much tending about it. Once it's done it becomes a slow-cooked fast food. A meze meal that can be brought out to eat at room temperature with salads, breads, or meats.
I took this dish to my friend Dena's 50th birthday party potluck this afternoon. Arleta across from me in a lawn chair, who I don't know well, shouted over and asked if I'd made the chickpea casserole.
--I just knew it, because it was right.
It just feels of goodness like food should.
Wow, that was one *delicious* dish. I will now attempt to replicate it, with this roadmap.
Thanks so much, it was great to have you there and I'm honored to have inspired this invention!
Next after jubilee, I've put the following on my twitter bio: "Susceptible to poetry." This totally includes your food and writing.
Yes, food is a medium of poetry. And, people are more likely to eat you words.


Coffee plays an important role in the lives (or at least mornings) of most people — in the United States, nearly 80% of all adults drink coffee, typically at the start of their day.
Yet most coffee drinkers don't have a good understanding of coffee: the plant, the way it is processed, or the precision of a "perfect" roast.
In fact, more coffee drinkers may have a good misunderstanding of coffee. And despite overwhelming evidence, myths persist — particularly when it comes to coffee and health.
This confusion is partially due to the fact that for many years, drinking coffee was unfairly associated with cigarette smoking.
That association – science has since learned – is partly due to the fact that nicotine can cause smokers to metabolize caffeine more quickly than non smokers. As a result, all things being equal, cigarette smokers are likely to drink more coffee – supporting the popular image of a smoker clutching their coffee.
Over time, this led to what researchers called "confounding" factors, creating an erroneous confusion between the negative effects of smoking and the beneficial effects of drinking coffee.
In other words, the association between smoking and drinking coffee made it harder for health researchers to "see past" the harmful effects of smoking – and could even lead them to conclude that those harmful effects were connected to drinking coffee.
Study after study has shown that smoking has a powerful, negative affect on the human body, impacting everything from cardiovascular health to cancer rates. Yet even in these cases, we later learned that coffee could still offer protective benefits. Ultimately, the research even shows that coffee drinkers live longer.
Today, better scientific methods (as well as decreased smoking rates) have enabled health researchers to isolate the effect of coffee on human health — and the news is good.
An overwhelming number of studies and meta-analyses show that coffee has a host of potentially positive health benefits — from helping reduce incidents of cancer and Parkinson's disease to longevity.
But it takes a long time to change public perceptions. And the internet, which brings so much information to so many, is ultimately agnostic: Misinformation is just as easily accessible.
Anyone using a search engine can see this confusion firsthand. Start by searching "can coffee…," and then let the algorithm autofill for you.
Yes. A 154 pound person (70 kilos) would have to drink about 70 cups of coffee for a lethal dose, although your own limit may vary.
Can coffee stunt your growth?
No. In fact, coffee has been shown to have a wide variety of benefits.
Independent research (not funded by coffee companies) shows that coffee drinkers may have better athletic performance, lower rates of certain cancers, diabetes, and strokes — and may live longer than non-coffee drinkers.
Of course, combatting ignorance takes a long time.
This is why the industry — coffee roasters, importers, equipment manufacturers, and scientists — can work together through their trade associations to communicate accurately about topics such as coffee and health, sustainability, and how the supply chain actually works. And to do so through independent, third party research — so that everyone has the chance to draw their own conclusions, based on what the science actually says.
Ultimately, the health of the coffee sector (and the people who support it, from growers to roasters to baristas) depends upon consumers, government officials, and the media all understanding the facts behind coffee.
As individuals, we can each be part of the solution: By doing our research (or at least checking the source), using a little common sense, and involving ourselves in these conversations, we can help dispel old myths — and make room for more truth.

Q: Typescript React React-Router V4 not routing My code is compiling and running, but just not working.  I have no idea what I'm doing wrong.  The following code samples are (what I believe are the relevant) excerpts from their respective files.
package.json
"dependencies": {
"@types/react": "^15.0.28",
"@types/react-dom": "^15.5.0",
"@types/react-router": "^4.0.11",
"react": "^15.6.1",
"react-dom": "^15.6.1",
"react-router": "^4.1.1",
"typescript": "^2.3.4"
},

index.tsx
import * as React from 'react';
import * as ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import App from './App';
import Bids from './Bids';
import { MemoryRouter, Route, Switch} from 'react-router';

ReactDOM.render(
  <MemoryRouter>
    <Switch>
      <Route exact path="/bids" component={() => <Bids />} />
      <Route exact path="/" component={() => <App />} />
    </Switch>
  </MemoryRouter>
 ,
  document.getElementById('root') as HTMLElement
);

And Bids and App are both react components with simple "hello world" render functions
class App extends React.Component<{}, null> {
  render() {

The problem that I'm having is that I cannot get my program to render the non-default path.
If I navigate to "http://localhost:3000/" I get the App component.
If I navigate to "http://localhost:3000/bids" I get the App component.
If I navigate to "http://localhost:3000/randomString" I get the App component.
If I switch them in the code (i.e. "/bids" points to App and "/" points to Bids) then I can only see the Bids component on any path.
Any thoughts?

A: Thanks to the comments (Jesse and Alex) the answer came together.  Switching to react-router-dom and BrowserRouter solved the issue.
"@types/react": "^15.0.28",
"@types/react-dom": "^15.5.0",
"@types/react-router-dom": "^4.0.4",
"react": "^15.6.1",
"react-dom": "^15.6.1",
"react-router-dom": "^4.1.1",
"typescript": "^2.3.4"

and
import * as React from 'react';
import * as ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import App from './App';
import Bids from './Bids';
import {BrowserRouter, Route, Switch} from 'react-router-dom';

ReactDOM.render(
  <BrowserRouter>
    <Switch>
      <Route exact path="/bids" component={() => <Bids />} />
      <Route exact path="/" component={() => <App />} />
    </Switch>
  </BrowserRouter>
 ,
  document.getElementById('root') as HTMLElement
);

A: You most install package react-router-dom
yarn add react-router-dom -W

npm i react-router-dom --save

An aircraft-mounted scanning system that could help to increase the number of planes arriving at busy airports without the need for new runways, is being developed in a European project involving Airbus.
Current international legislation stipulates that aircraft mustmaintain a safety distance of up to six miles from each other. This is to ensure that they are unaffected by the turbulence of planes travelling ahead of them.
But according to engineers working on the EU's I-Wakeproject, although these swirls of air – known as wake vortices – are a hazard to be avoided at all costs, an across-the-board safety distance of six miles is overly cautious.
Dr. Thomas Peschel, one of the researchers involved in the project at Germany's Fraunhofer Institute of Applied Optics and Precision Engineering, explained that by using sensors aboard aircraft to measure air vortices it should be possible to adjust safety distances according to circumstances, allowing airports to make better use of their capacity.
While radar is capable of measuring turbulence in wet conditions it is completely ineffective in dry weather, so the I-Wake team has developed a laser scanner which can determine whether the air is calm enough in dry conditions.
While reducing the margin for error may sound like a recipe for disaster, air traffic management expert Dr Washington Ochieng of Imperial College confirmed that the current safety distances could be considered to be overly generous. 'People are moving slowly towards flexible use of airspace – and this means trying to put more aircraft in the sky,' he said.
The I-Wake system works by sending laser pulses into the air in front of the aircraft. The light is scattered on aerosol or dustparticles and registered by adetector.
Peschel explained that due to the Doppler effect, the wavelength of the incoming laser pulses shifts according to whether the airborne particles are moving towards or away from the beam.
From the difference relative to the incident wavelength, software is then able to calculate the strength of air turbulence within fractions of a second.
The prototype system was positioned behind the window of the Cessna's cabin, but Peschel said that the final system will be positioned behind an optical window near the tip of the aircraft. Much of the development work will therefore focus on reducing the size of the system so that it can be accommodated in this crowded area.
Peschel said that while the system is between 5-10 years away from appearing on passenger planes, efforts to develop similar, but less effective, ground-based laser scanners are closer to commercialisation.
'The difference with working from the ground is that you have a limited range of up to two or three miles, and for many airports the decline path starts long before that distance,' he explained.

Education IT: Help Desk Software Isn't Just An Enterprise Tool
It's not hard to think of the many ways businesses can benefit from upgrading their Help Desks. This move can lead to improved efficiency and superior customer service to start with. It can also put the IT team on the same page as far as current, consistent technical knowledge, reassure staff that their machines will be fixed in a timely manner, and reassure management that the IT team is continuing to be professional and productive.
But traditional businesses aren't the only place that can appreciate enhanced Help Desk software and services: schools and school districts can also benefit from improved organization and workflow.
Here are some areas where other educational institutions have seen value:
• Service requests. Help Desk software can keep track of orders, including when they were submitted, and who is assigned to take care of the task. Districts that have schools spread out through a large geographic area may be able to provide the IT member with all the pending orders for one school when he or she heads out there, rather than them having to go back and forth multiple times between jobs. It also can give management ideas about what repairs/replacements may be needed immediately or can be scheduled later.
• Transportation. Work orders don't have to be just for misbehaving desktop computers. Badly-behaving buses can also be included. Schools with fleets of buses can include details about the condition of each one, including which ones are needing minor or major repairs, plus its past service record. Drivers will appreciate current info about the vehicles, and the repair team will appreciate the details of where to begin.
• Maintenance. Taking good care of schools requires a blend of cleaning immediate messes and also ongoing upkeep. Help Desk efforts can keep track of the history of each building, including when it last received major maintenance such as painting. This can be a handy tool when trying to schedule improvements and upcoming projects. It could also be a useful resource, especially if the maintenance staff changes at the different school from year to year. A Help Desk can also include scheduling information about common areas such as the gym or auditorium.
• With teachers. Whether a district has three teachers or three dozen, they all can benefit from a central area that keeps track of their performance, placement, and historically. It also can help automate some processes such as payroll, training and indicating all open and filled positions at each school. Finally, it can create and maintain a 'paper trail' of any performance issues or challenges with any of the teachers. Since documentation is so important in academia, the Help Desk can show clearly what step everyone is on in the evaluation process.
Overall, an active Help Desk, especially something like GroupLink's "K-12 Help Desk Solution" can be a huge step forward in terms of efficiency and ongoing support needs. Contact us to learn more.

Lord Cultural Resources was engaged by the Tourism Development and Investment Company (TDIC) in Abu Dhabi in 2006, to provide a wide range of museum planning services for the cultural institutions that were to form the heart of the Saadiyat Island Cultural District.
Building upon a preliminary architectural program concept, Lord Cultural Resources was commissioned to refine the space program and provide a Concept Plan and a Facilities Strategy for the Louvre Abu Dhabi. Subsequently, Lord Cultural Resources was asked to advise on the governance structure of the museum. We continued our work with the cultural planning for Saadiyat Island and by completing the initial master plan for the Zayed National Museum (2008), scheduled to begin construction in December. Our Master Plan served as the basis for the international architectural and exhibition design competitions that followed.
After more than 10 years in the making, the Louvre Abu Dhabi opened on November 11, 2017, becoming the first Universal Museum in the Arab world. Lord Cultural resources is very proud to have contributed to the development of this great museum.

Marcel Callo (1921-1945) est un jociste français, né le  à Rennes et mort le  à Mauthausen. Il a été béatifié le .

Biographie

Cadet d'une famille de neuf enfants, dans un milieu profondément chrétien, Marcel Callo entre en apprentissage à douze ans chez un typographe à Rennes, tandis qu'un de ses frères rejoint le séminaire.

Il adhère à la croisade eucharistique, (renommée depuis Mouvement eucharistique des jeunes) obéissant à la devise : « Prie, communie, sacrifie-toi, sois apôtre » et entre chez les scouts de France.

Plus tard, il quitte le scoutisme à regret, pour entrer à la Jeunesse ouvrière chrétienne (JOC) où il tient à privilégier la vie spirituelle comme source de toute action, dans un monde ouvrier très déchristianisé à cette époque. Devenu président de la section, il se dépense sans mesure pour assumer toutes sortes de responsabilités.

Ses proches témoignent que son caractère était très affirmé et qu'il pouvait défendre ses points de vue avec opiniâtreté.

Marcel Callo se fiance avec une jeune fille, Marguerite, également membre de la JOC, le 6 avril 1942.

L'armistice de 1940 amène un grand tournant : les activités des associations sont officiellement interdites et les sections doivent agir dans la clandestinité ; on parle alors de « JOC des catacombes ».

La guerre, le STO et la déportation

Au lendemain du bombardement de Rennes, le , tandis que sa sœur Marie-Madeleine mourait sous les bombes, il reçoit l'ordre de partir en Allemagne au titre du Service du travail obligatoire. Il partit le  pour Zella Mehlis en Thuringe. Il continua l'action catholique de façon clandestine, n'hésitant pas à prendre des responsabilités et à participer à des activités interdites : réunions, récollections en des lieux différents réunissant des responsables jocistes de villes différentes, messes interdites...Seule organisation catholique clandestine au sein des Travailleurs forcés, la Jeunesse ouvrière chrétienne permit aux militants de divers mouvements d'action catholique venus de France de continuer leur pratique catholique en cachette, alors que le clergé allemand avait reçu l'interdiction de les assister religieusement.

Dès , Jean Tinturier, séminariste, l'avait incité à reprendre l'action catholique. Marcel entraîna alors avec lui d'autres camarades français, guère familiers de la fréquentation de l'église. Il se comporta . Un groupe chaleureux se forma ainsi autour de lui.  Il fut arrêté le  par la Gestapo, à la suite d'un décret de Ernst Kaltenbrunner dirigeant le RSHA à la suite de Reinhard Heydrich. Ce décret concernait : « l'activité de l'Action catholique française parmi les travailleurs français dans le Reich ».

Lors des interrogatoires à la Gestapo, il fut contraint de détruire tous les papiers de la JOC, les lettres, les photos de sa mère et de sa fiancée. Transféré le  à la prison de Gotha, il signa avec dix autres responsables jocistes, dont leur aumônier, le motif de condamnation suivant : « Par son action catholique auprès de ses camarades du Service du Travail obligatoire, a été un danger pour l'État et le peuple allemands ».

Début août, il fut réuni avec onze de ses camarades arrêtés pour action catholique dans une grande cellule que l'un d'eux dénomma « la chambre haute ». Ils priaient ensemble devant une croix tressée avec des fleurs d'immortelles. Le , ils partirent pour le camp de Flossenbürg, où ils furent immatriculés à l'entrée avec les numéros à la suite 28901 à  28910. Il fut transféré vers le  à Mauthausen-Gusen II.

Là, il souffrit de la faim et de la soif, fut battu, travaillant dans l'usine souterraine B8 Bergkristall à St. Georgen/Gusen. Bientôt, à bout de force, il fut envoyé comme trois mille autres de Gusen II pour mourir à l'infirmerie aux portes de Mauthausen, à deux pas du four crématoire. Il y mourut d'épuisement, miné par la dysenterie, le .

Le colonel Tibodo, qui avait vu mourir des milliers de prisonniers, témoigna au procès de béatification de Marcel avec ces mots : « Je n'ai jamais vu chez un moribond un regard comme le sien ».

Dans les années 1980

Béatification

Lors du Synode consacré aux laïcs à Rome, Saint Jean-Paul II a béatifié Marcel Callo le

La cause de la béatification collective d'une cinquantaine d'autres "martyrs du STO" est toujours en cours depuis la fin des années 1980. C'est en effet au sein d'un groupe de responsables de l'Action Catholique clandestine en Thuringe que Marcel Callo fut arrêté. En Autriche, la paroisse Marcel Callo à Linz-Auwiesen a été placée sous son patronage et la municipalité de St. Georgen/Gusen a donné son nom à une rue sur l'ancienne usine souterraine où Marcel a travaillé en dernier lieu. À Rennes, sa ville natale, une rue, une paroisse, une école primaire portent son nom, ainsi qu'une église à Tremblay-en-France  , une école primaire à Nantes  et une autre école primaire au Cannet-des -Maures dans le département du Var .

Fête : le  (jour de sa mort), et le 19 avril (arrestation à Zella-Mehlis) dans le diocèse de Rennes.

Depuis la béatification, un lieu permanent du souvenir de Marcel Callo a été installé dans l'église Saint-Aubin de Rennes (rebaptisée désormais basilique Notre-Dame-de-Bonne-Nouvelle), qui est sa paroisse d'origine.

Une chapelle à lui dédiée existe aussi dans l'ancienne église abbatiale rennaise Notre-Dame en Saint-Melaine.

Le nom de Marcel Callo figure sur le panthéon de Rennes, à l'hôtel de ville.

Un modèle pour la jeunesse d'Europe

Lors d'une rencontre à Strasbourg le  avec des jeunes Européens, le pape Jean-Paul II a donné Marcel Callo comme modèle à la jeunesse d'Europe (avec l'Allemand Karl Leisner).

Des associations en Allemagne, Autriche et France (Les Amis de Marcel Callo, à Rennes) organisent régulièrement des voyages sur les lieux de vie de Marcel Callo, à l'occasion des anniversaires de sa naissance, de sa béatification ou de sa mort. Des personnes ayant connu Marcel Callo y participent aussi, dont des membres de sa famille, de moins en moins nombreux d'année en année en raison de leur âge.

Depuis les années 2000
Le ,  de sa mort, a été marqué à Rennes par des manifestations organisées par le diocèse de Rennes et par la ville de Rennes : inauguration d'une visite guidée à travers la ville « Marcel Callo, un Rennais pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale » (par l'office du tourisme de la ville), réalisation d'une fresque place Sainte-Anne en graff, messe hommage avec les associations de jeunes catholiques dont Marcel Callo avait été membre, concert. Cet anniversaire a été l'occasion de relancer l'intérêt pour le bienheureux Marcel Callo.

D'autres manifestations ont eu lieu à Rennes pour le trentième anniversaire de sa béatification, en . Mgr Pierre d'Ornellas, Archevêque de Rennes, a donné son approbation à une prière d'intercession à réciter pour l'obtention d'un miracle qui permettrait la canonisation du bienheureux Marcel Callo.

La même année le diocèse de Rennes, toujours sous l'impulsion de  Pierre d'Ornellas, finance et fait construire la chapelle du Bienheureux Marcel Callo dans le village de Gandado de la province du Passoré au Burkina Faso.

En 2021, le diocèse de Rennes organise une messe le 5 décembre pour célébrer les 100 ans de sa naissance. Tous les mouvements auxquels Marcel Callo a adhéré dans sa jeunesse étaient invités à préparer et à participer pour honorer sa mémoire. Ces mouvements sont le MEJ (Mouvement Eucharistique des Jeunes), les différentes branches du scoutisme, la JOC (Jeunesse Ouvrière Chrétienne).

In this match, Atsuto Uchida of the Schalke participated in the match for the first time in 639 days. Uchida came off the bench in the 83th minute of 2nd half and he played for about 10 minutes, but the Saltburg beat Schalke 2 to 0. After the match, a Japanese player Takumi Minamino of the Salzburg exchanged uniforms with Uchida and blessed the return of Uchida. With Schalke already sure of a place in the last 32.
Atsuto Uchida 's biography is that he's the age of 28, and he was born at Shizuoka Prefecture.. He began playing football from 6 years old, and joined in the Kashima Antlers of J1 League on 2006. He participated in the opening game from Rookie Year and played as a central player of the defender. In the Antlers, Uchida got 6 goals in 179 matches until 4 years and became popular player in Japan.
In July 2010, Uchida tranferred to FC Schalke 04 of the Bundesliga on a permanent. Uchida signed the contract with the Schalke of 3 years , his annual salary was 1.8 million euros and his transfer fee was 1.3 million euros. He began to play in the match soon and played as a central player of a Right Back. So he played in 69 matches until 2 years. In the start of the 2012-13 season, Uchida signed a new contract with the Schalke for three years. Manuel Peter Neuer of Goalkeeper was on good terms with Uchida.
After that, Uchida was active as a regular in the Schalke. He scored his first goal in the match with TSG 1899 Hoffenheim on 2012, and he got total 2 goals in 57 matches until 2013-2014 season. So Uchida signed a new contract with the Schalke for 4 years and his annual salary was 2.5 million euros in 2014. But he was injured in the knees in Bundesliga's match of March 2015, and underwent surgery in June. After that, he has long rehabilitated in Germany and Japan. And this day, he played for the first time in 639 days.
Atsuto Uchida was also active in Japan national football team. He played in 2008 Beijing olympics with keisuke Honda and Yuto Nagatomo etc. After that, he was convened in the top team of Japan from 2008 and also selected to the team for 2010 South Africa World Cup. But Uchida didn't play in this time for bad physical condition, so only his Sony commercial was broadcast during the match in Japan. After this world cup, Uchida became a central player of the Japan team and played in 2014 Brazil World Cup.
But because Uchida played in a friendly match with Uzbekistan in March 31 2015, he further exacerbated his injured knee. So he was going to operate and could not play for a long time. Why did he play this match? It was the first match for manager Vahid Halilhodzic, so he wanted to see Uchida's play and Uchida also wanted to appeal to the manager.
In private life, Uchida got married in May 2015 and had a daughter in 2016. His wife is a primary school classmate. Uchida is a good looking guy, he had many female fans and he was on the cover of a magazine many times in Japan. So many Japanese women were shocked at his marriage. Then he appeared in Japanese TV drama and his figure became a bonus for chocolate.
This youtube's video is the chocolate's commercial that Uchida appeared. There is a real face that can not be seen usually such as photography scenery. His nickname in Germany is Uschi and he is loved by the supporters.

Jon Bramnick Is the Republican to Watch in New Jersey
By Donald Scarinci • 03/21/18 6:00am
New Jersey Assemblyman Jon Bramnick. Kevin B. Sanders for Observer
New Jersey, Assembly minority leader Jon Bramnick has a conservative philosophical streak, but his thinking is by no means a dogmatic Republican brand. In fact, his bipartisanship on so many important state issues has a lot of appeal to independents and Democrats.
Bramnick recently kicked off what he is calling a "Rally the Reasonable" state-wide tour.
In a speech announcing the initiative, Bramnick highlighted that most New Jersey residents are in the middle of the political spectrum and want their elected leaders to be moderate and reasonable.
"We have reached an important moment in our history. The reasonable and rational people of this state and our country must stand together and condemn bad behavior," he said. "And whether that bad behavior comes from the left-wing media or directly from the White House, we need to stand together and speak out as one against that kind of behavior."
In subsequent statements to the media, Bramnick has further distanced himself from the White House and the far right.
"We're the Republican Party, but we're not crazy," Bramnick said. "We are not crazy or extreme. We're reasonable."
He has also condemned the use of divisive rhetoric.
"I am not going to engage during the next two years in partisanship or partisan politics just for the sake of partisan politics," Bramnick added. "I also am not going to be painted with a brush, a Republican brush, based on the tweets or some of the conduct that's coming out of the White House."
Opposition to Offshore Drilling
One of the first issues uniting Democrats and Republicans in the state legislature is opposition to drilling off the Jersey Shore. While the Trump Administration has proposed to open up nearly all federal waters off the East Coast for oil and gas drilling, critics in New Jersey contend that the risk of spills and other environmental harm would threaten the state's $40 billion tourism industry and $6 billion fishing industry.
To deter drilling, the Assembly recently passed the Shore Tourism and Ocean Protection (STOP) from Offshore Oil and Gas Act. The bill (A-839) would prohibit offshore drilling for oil or natural gas in state waters and prohibit the lease of tidal or submerged lands there for oil/natural gas production, exploration or development.
"This is a clear message to those who want to do offshore drilling at our New Jersey shore," said Bramnick. "Our voice is unified and strong. We stand together, we oppose it, it is simply wrong and as we all know the Jersey Shore is sacred ground. This is a very special place."
While the members of the state legislature may not be so united when it comes to tackling tougher issues, like school funding and raising the minimum wage, the willingness to reach across the aisle and to maintain civility despite policy disagreements makes a solution far more likely.

McIlhenny Company's TABASCO® Sauce Celebrates 150 Years with Commemorative Anniversary Bottle
Indianapolis (May 22, 2018) – Ardagh Group, a leading producer of glass containers for the food and beverage industries in the United States, collaborated with McIlhenny Company, producers of TABASCO® brand products, to introduce a 150th Anniversary bottle for the world's most famous pepper sauce.
An American tradition since 1868, McIlhenny Company has a rich history of packaging its TABASCO® Sauce in glass containers. Founder Edmund McIlhenny initially used discarded cologne bottles to distribute his TABASCO® Sauce to family and friends, before purchasing them from a local glass supplier in 1868 when he started selling to the public. Over the last 150 years, nine bottle variations have been developed with embossments showcased on the bottom of the bottle.
"Since our company's inception 150 years ago, McIlhenny Company has produced TABASCO® Sauce in an extremely resourceful manner. Bottling our product in glass is just one part of that equation," said Harold Osborn, Chief Sustainability Officer and fifth-generation McIlhenny family member. "What began out of necessity to manage costs has continued to this day in an effort to minimize our environmental footprint. We are committed to protecting our homeland, my great-great grandfather's legacy and the important traditions to which we attribute much of our product's success and staying power."
Originally introduced in 1927, the craftsmanship and versatility of the iconic, red-capped bottle with the diamond label is now sold in 195 countries and territories and labeled in 25 languages and dialects.
The 5oz TABASCO® Sauce Anniversary edition glass bottle is manufactured in high-quality flint (clear) glass by Ardagh Group, and features the words "150th Anniversary" in the shoulder of the bottle.
"Ardagh Group's collaborative design environment makes it seamless for brands to create a custom bottle design," said Alex Robertson, Chief Commercial Officer of Ardagh Group's North American Glass division. "From ideation to conception, our designers worked alongside McIlhenny Company to create a memorable bottle for this special milestone. We value our long-standing relationship with McIlhenny Company, and are proud they continue to package their world-famous TABASCO® Sauce in bottles manufactured at our Louisiana facility – the same state where the bottles are filled."
Glass bottles are 100-percent recyclable and rated Generally Regarded as Safe (GRAS) by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the only packaging material to receive that rating for foods and beverages.
During its 150th anniversary, McIlhenny Company is marking this historic milestone with a yearlong celebration dedicated to the people who have made TABASCO® Sauce a staple in restaurants and kitchens, and an essential ingredient in recipes worldwide.
To learn more about the 150th anniversary of TABASCO® Sauce, visit TABASCO.com or follow the conversation on social media with #TABASCO150.
For more than 125 years, Ardagh Group has been producing innovative glass bottles in the U.S., and is one of the leading glass suppliers to the U.S. food market. To learn more about Ardagh Group's glass packaging, go to www.ardaghgroup.com/glass.

Does your family like board games? Does your family like trivia? Does your family like not needing the correct answer and still scoring points? My family does! We love board games and we love tidbits of facts. We've been playing Wits and Wagers Family from North Star Games and my side hurts from laughing so much.
How to Play: The youngest player gets to be the first to read the question Each player or team is given a dry erase marker ( 5 are included in the game), a color coordinated dry erase board for making their "wager", and two "meeples" that match the color of their board.
Every answer is a number. After the question is read, each person ( or team) writes his answer on his dry erase board and turns it upside down. After everyone has recorded an answer the boards are flipped and arranged in a line from smallest to largest. Now you place your meeples. There is a large meeple, worth two points, and a small meeple worth 1 point..
If you are confident in your answer you can place both of your meeples on your board. Not so sure you got the right answer? Place your meeples on someone else's board. Pretty sure you got the right answer but maybe your spouse is right? Put one meeple on your board and one on his.
After all the meeples have been placed the reader reads the answer. Along with the answer is a bit of trivia or a fact relating to the question. To score points look for the board closest to the correct answer without going over. The board is worth 1 point. So if you place both your meeples on your board and your board is closest to the correct answer without going over you get 4 points.
Wits and Wagers Family states ages 8 and up and for 3 to 10 ten players. I would say that it is good for 3 to 5 individuals or teams or combination of individuals and teams.
My family loves board games. This game has become a family favorite. Why do we love this game so much? With so many board games it can be difficult with young children. Each person takes a turn and you sit and wait and do nothing while you wait for your turn. This equals boredom for a couple of my children, but with Wits and Wagers Family there is no real down time. Everyone participates in every question.
Sometimes those trivia style games go on forever and ever and this also leads to boredom for the children, but with this game from North Star Games there isn't time for the doldrums. The games are fast paced and only take about 30 minutes to complete.
My favorite aspect of the game is that you do not need to know the answer! The points are scored based on which answer is closest to the correct answer without going over. Don't know how tall the Sears Tower is in Chicago? That's OK, give your best estimate!
Wits and Wagers Family states ages 8 and up and for 3 to 10 ten players. I would say that it is good for 3 to 5 individuals or teams or combination of individuals and teams. This game can be adapted to younger children. Supergirl functions around 6 years of age. Most of the time that we play she is "partners" with a sibling but we did play a few games where she could play "alone". She loved it! She liked trying to write her number down and then choosing where to place her meeples.
My "big" girls enjoyed trying to remember if they actually knew the correct answer. They even liked estimating and getting it wrong. Turtlegirl has even asked for the Say Anything game from North Star Games. I see from the website that there is a family version of Say Anything coming in the spring. I think that is going on our wishlist!
Wits and Wagers Family retails for $19.99. As of this morning it appears to be sold out through the shopping cart link. To check for availability click here and then click on the shopping cart on the right hand side next to the game. You may want to check your local retailers such as Barnes and Noble. This would make an excellent Christmas gift.

Click on the banner below to read what my fellow crew mates have to say about Wits and Wagers Family.
For everything in life there is a season. I am sad today because a season ended.
If I'm honest, today was just the end of the end. The beginning of the end occurred months ago when we had to switch from mornings to afternoons.
Are you lost? I'm sorry. Monday we were supposed to go to a local nursing home with some other homeschooling families and the students were to play and sing Christmas songs for and with the residents. I have very fond memories of doing this last year and my girls were really looking forward to doing it again this year.
Once again a scheduling conflict bars the path of performance. The nursing home activities director scheduled an orchestra to play for the residents during the time we were scheduled to play. This is the fourth month in a row that we are unable to minister at the nursing home because of scheduling conflicts.
I'm angry because I feel that we are not wanted. I wish that they would have said "thanks but no thanks" when we began working with the activities director months and months ago.
My heart aches because I will miss those residents, but I wouldn't be honest with myself or with my blog readers if I didn't say that I also am relieved to not have the stress of wondering "will we actually go to the nursing home this month?" I won't have the stress of reminding my girls to do extra piano practice to prepare enough pieces to fill our slot on the activity schedule.
Maybe it was time to move because my heart filled with pride? I was proud of my girls and even blogged about it here. One cannot have a servant's heart if one's heart is too swollen with pride.
Maybe it was time to move on because there are other service opportunities that my daughters and I need. Going to the nursing home and seeing those residents and trying to coordinate those sessions stretched me. I don't like making phone calls and I certainly don't like being reminded of my own mortality. But there was a blessing that can not be expressed in words A sense of communion that can't be explained. And stretching means growing and the more I grow the more I (Lord have mercy!) become like Christ.
I do believe that we are called to love as Christ has loved us. I can only trust that as this season of serving ends that a new season allowing us to love as Christ loves will begin.
No one told me when I joined the crew that I would have hidden benefits such as the opportunity to discover educational products I would never have found otherwise such as the Master Ruler from Master Innovations.
As part of the TOS Review Crew I received two rulers (one standard, one metric), an educational poster and a reproducible workbook to use with the rulers. These are not ordinary rulers nor are they limited to simply measuring the length, width or height of an object.
The Rulers: It is difficult to describe these rulers using words. If a picture is worth a 1,000 words, what is a video worth? In this case I think the video produced by Master Innovations explains and shows the product far better than my inadequate prose.
You can find the Master Ruler Video HERE along with videos of their other products Master Clock, Master Angle and Master Fractions.
The Workbook: A standard size of 8 1/2" by 11" inches this workbook contains both English (standard) and Metric measuring activities. Pages 1 is a measuring chart and pages 2 and 3 display an outline of teaching concepts and activities. The workbook includes an answer key found on pages 23 & 24. Workbook pages progress from simple such as measuring a line to the nearest inch to more complicated such as adding, subtracting and/or converting to find the answers to a puzzle.
The Poster: A bright, colorful, large display shows at a glance such information as how many ounces are in a 1/4 pound or how many yards are in mile. It is pictorial rather than just numerical so you can see that there are 8 pints in a gallon. It can't display a mile but instead has a picture of a road with the number of feet (or yards) in a mile. It is not to scale but it shows clearly that one inch is a whole and two halves equal one whole.
My thoughts and impressions: The concepts presented in the workbook, which retails for $15.95, were below the skills and abilities of three of my daughters and most of the pages were beyond Supergirl's current skills. The workbook would make a nice supplement beginning in first grade and continuing through 4th or 5th grade. Because of the range of concepts and skills presented, I would not plan on using it all in one school year but spread it out over several years using it to supplement whatever math program I was using.
I love the rulers ($9.95 each) and find them easier to read than traditional rulers. I like that I can use each layer separately. Around here the Master Rulers are the first rulers we reach for when we need to measure something.
We are enjoying the $10 poster and it has reduced the number of times I hear "Mom, how many cups are in a gallon, again?". It is a large (about 2' by 3') so it takes some wall space to display, but it is colorful which brings cheer to my dining room.
You can read about the scientific research studies here.
Master Innovations provided the "Master Ruler" (both metric and standard) the Mastering the World of Measuring workbook and the "Marvels of Measures!" poster for review.

Q: How can you listen to click events on a ListView that occur outside of the list items? I have a ListView that takes up the entire screen, but sometimes it doesn't have enough items in it to completely cover the ListView widget.  I'd like to be able to respond to clicks on that empty space below the last item that doesn't actually contain an item (meaning setOnItemClickListener isn't appropriate).
I've tried setOnClickListener (which they disable for the ListView itself) on a parent view, but clicks don't seem to be reaching it.  I also tried setOnTouchListener on the ListView, but that caused some item clicks to not register for some reason.  Any ideas on how to accomplish this?

A: Ran into similiar problem where I needed to close expanded list elements when empty space is clicked. Here is how I solved it.
public class CustomListView extends ListView {

  private OnNoItemClickListener mOnNoItemClickListener;

  public interface OnNoItemClickListener {
    void onNoItemClicked();
  }

  public CustomListView(Context context) {
    super(context);
  }

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

  public CustomListView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
    super(context, attrs, defStyle);
  }

  @Override
  public boolean dispatchTouchEvent(MotionEvent ev) {
    //check whether the touch hit any elements INCLUDING ListView footer
    if(pointToPosition((int) (ev.getX() * ev.getXPrecision()),
       (int) (ev.getY() * ev.getYPrecision())) == -1 && ev.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN) {
      if(mOnNoItemClickListener != null) {
        mOnNoItemClickListener.onNoItemClicked();
      }
    }
    return super.dispatchTouchEvent(ev);
  }

  public void setOnNoItemClickListener(OnNoItemClickListener listener) {
    mOnNoItemClickListener = listener;
  }

}

Then use this CustomListView in your XML file instead of regular ListView and implement OnNoItemClickListener inside your activity / fragment and call mListView.setOnNoItemClickListener(this); in onCreate to enable callback to onNoItemClicked() function.
Note that if your ListView has headers or footers then these are considered as list elements and the onNoItemClicked() won't be called.

A: One potential way to achieve is it set your ListView to height="wrap_content" If you do that then you can have override onTouchEvent() for your activity to get the events from when the user touches the empty space.
Layout.xml
<ListView
    android:id="@+id/list"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:entries="@array/list" />

Activity.java
public class MainActivity extends Activity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        ListView mList = (ListView)findViewById(R.id.list);
        mList.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View v, int pos,long id) {
                Toast.makeText(v.getContext(), ""+pos, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            }
        });
    }
    @Override
    public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent me){
        if(me.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN){
            Toast.makeText(this, "Empty space", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            return true;
        }
        return false;
    }
}

However if you are counting on your ListView height being match_parent for some reason (i.e. background drawable) then this won't be an ideal solution.

A: Here is example how I did it: https://github.com/mmokrzycki/listview-with-clickable-empty-view

A: Place an empty linearlayout below the listview by setting an appropriate height to the listview. Place an onClick() method to that linear layout. That must do it.

A: Combining some of the other answers, I came up with this that works well for my use case
@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
  ... setup list view and other view state
  listView.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {
    @Override
    public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
      if (event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN &&
          listView.pointToPosition((int) (event.getX() * event.getXPrecision()), (int) (event.getY() * event.getYPrecision())) == -1) {
        collapseExpandedListItem();
        return true;
      }
      return false;
    }
  });
}


Earlier this week, Ecuadorian President Lenin Moreno said Mr Assange had "repeatedly violated" the terms of his asylum in the Andean nation's embassy, his home for nearly seven years.
Mr Assange last year lost his access to the internet, and a new set of rules was set, dictating that he avoid contentious political issues, clean his bathroom and look after his cat if he wanted the internet reconnected.
Mr Assange in turn sued, saying his rights as an Ecuadorian - he was granted citizenship last year as part of an apparent attempt to name him a diplomat and ferry him to Russia - were being violated.

Contribution to the Understanding of Specific Signatures in the Interaction of Surface Waves with Underground Voids
Authors A. Bitri and K. Samyn
Shallow cavities, such as karstic caves in carbonate bedrock and near-surface underground mine workings or tunnels, constitute serious hazards for people and existing constructions due to the risk of collapse and subsidence. This phenomenon is growing fast with climate change causing damage to buildings and increased urban development costs. Karstic features, voids, surficial dissolution, fissuring, alteration and unconsolidated material are thus major challenges for geophysical methods that could play a major role in detection. Recent investigations have reported good results for cavity imaging using surface wave seismic methods. However, despite successful case histories, business as usual void detection is still challenging due to the complexity of near surface materials and probably a lack of understanding regarding the interaction of surface waves with voids. Recent data acquired in the context of a search for underground unpaved cavities provide new insights into the use of surface waves for the detection of these objects. Considering the findings, it appears that surface waves penetrating above and below the void may still propagate horizontally without clear features of altered propagation characteristics with respect to different actions, variations in dispersion, or both, which encourages rethinking of the systematic nature of diffraction research in operational applications.
The Efficient Acquisition of High-Resolution 3D Seismic Surveys for Shallow Open-Cut Mining
Authors Tim Dean, Matt Grant and Margarita Pavlova
Although the seismic technique is becoming an increasingly popular tool for mining its use tends to be restricted to exploration. Although capable of being used to characterize active mining areas, this application has tended to be restricted to underground or deep open-pit mines as acquiring high-resolution data over extensive areas has previously been prohibitively expensive. In this paper we show examples of the impact of high-resolution survey parameters on the resulting processed datasets and describe how such datasets can be acquired in a cost-efficient manner leading to an extensive 3D seismic acquisition programme.

A Versatile Solution for High-Quality Uav Fluxgate Magnetic Acquisitions
Authors Jeanne Mercier de Lépinay, Tristan Fréville, Bruno Gavazzi, Baptiste Kiemes, Luis Miguel Sanabria, Marc Munschy and Hugo Reiller
We propose an unmanned aerial system fully dedicated to magnetic surveying in a variety of contexts ranging from small and shallow objects or pipelines detection to large-scale geological mapping: the Easymag system. Four major requirements are identified if one wishes to efficiently acquire quality magnetic data at such variable scales: 1- the accuracy of the magnetic acquisition must be better than the lowest expected signal according to the application (usually a few nT or lower); 2- the navigation and positioning must be precise enough to compete with ground operators with centimetre accuracy; 3- the flight flexibility must allow contrasting flight domains with topographic draping at any height; 4- the efficiency on the field must compete with existing carriers. Each of these aspects are investigated to demonstrate Terremys' ability to perform efficient magnetic surveys. As a first case study, a drone magnetic acquisition for archaeological purposes is presented in comparison with a ground survey of the same area. Ground and drone surveys can lead to similar results. To demonstrate the ability to acquire magnetic data in different flight domains with the same system, a second case study focusing on a multiscale analysis is presented.

New Insights from a Multi-Method Geophysical Investigation on a Very Large, Slow-Moving Landslide (Hell Bourg, Reunion Island)
Authors C. Rault, P. A. Reninger, K. Samyn, A. Britri, M. Delatre, Y. Thiery and B. Aunay
Hell Bourg landslide (Salazie, Reunion Island) is a large, inhabited, slow-moving landslide (>200 Mm3). This landslide covers and remobilizes debris from former volcanic flank collapses. The volume, lithology, structure and evolution through time of these ancient deposits make the Hell Bourg landslide particularly complex. To understand the dynamics and improve the hazard related to its displacements, geodetic, geomorpho-logic, and geologic investigations have been undertaken on this landslide for more than 20 years. Complementary investigations have been required to acquire a precise definition of this large landslide's subsurface geometry and hydrogeology, necessary for a better understanding of its dynamics. In the present study, we combine different geophysical approaches (airborne electromagnetics, passive and active seismic data) to investigate the internal structure of the landslide. This method delivers accurate 3D images that provide useful additional information about the subsurface of the landslide. The models obtained of the subsurface are consistent with geomorphological and geological observations and allow the derivation of a new conceptual model of the 3D structure of the landslide. Thanks to this approach, new insights into the origin and mechanisms of the Hell Bourg landslide have been gained. This study shows the relevance of the multi-method approach for understanding large complex landslides. The work carried out on the Hell Bourg landslide opens up new avenues of research into large landslide mechanisms in a volcanic tropical environment.
