Everyone's got hot takes about what has happened in the last week and what is coming next, but no one really knows anything. We have had turbulence in recent years, Johnson's victory is a mark of that turbulence, and there is turbulence ahead. All we can try to do – all most people can try to do – is not give up on the things we think are important, and try to be better at identifying winning strategies. Andrew Rawnsley in the Observer reminds us that Thatcher seemed invincible in 1987 and Cameron had pulled off a huge victory in 2015. Nothing lasts forever.
I carry books around with me all the time, but Why We Get the Wrong Politicians by Isabel Hardman was the first for a long time to attract comments from strangers. Very few people have kind things to say about our Parliamentarians. As 140 new MPs traipse down to Westminster, it feels a little churlish to suggest that they're the wrong people before they've even been sworn in. But the book is named slightly slyly. Hardman is one of those kind people and her book is (rightly) generous to the people who put themselves forward to be our representatives. Hardman is clear about the ways in which life at Westminster chews up the optimism and health of our lawmakers and gives us poor scrutiny and short term policy instead. (She also talks about ways in which our political class is too narrow and gives us good reasons about why that has occurred.) This book is really about how we get the wrong politics rather than the wrong politicians.
Everyone is to blame, really. The way in which candidates are selected and then immerse themselves in local politics means that rich seams of experience and insight don't ever get considered. The way in which we as constituents judge MPs' performance leads to inefficient behaviour being rewarded. The awful lifestyle damages MPs' health (and it's sad to have to point out that we should care about this). Hardman is particularly scathing on the way in which policies in general and new laws in particular are scrutinised. Proper scrutiny is discouraged by whips and people with expertise in the field being considered can be specifically excluded from the process. Short term considerations lead to poor long term planning. And the way in which policy proposals can catch the eye of the real decision maker is haphazard (getting your cause in front of the prime minister at a surgery may be more effective than working through Westminster and Whitehall) – it isn't that we don't know this but example after example makes the point in a rather deflating way.
I agree with Hardman's analysis (how could I not?) but not necessarily with her conclusions: for example, having devoted several chapters to Westminster's dysfunctional culture, she is dismissive of changes that could help to change it, such as proportional representation.
But for me the best bit of this excellent book was that it made me think more clearly about MPs' incentives. Hardman writes
There is no culture in Parliament that rewards dispassionate lawmaking
and, again,
Bad policies are passed by the Commons because there is a culture in which joining the executive is more important than being a serious legislator
I used this lens when Theresa May was trying to put her doomed deal through Westminster. The deal probably could have carried a reluctant majority, but there was no advantage in ERG or Labour moving first. In the field of public health, there are incentives and disincentives from a local perspective on being seen to support a reduction in health harms.
What Hardman also does, therefore, is help us think about the 140 newbies and in particular those Conservatives who have taken previously solid Labour seats. The incentive for these people is different from MPs in safe seats who might be pitching to be a future minister. No: their incentive is to show their constituents that they are going to be worth re-election once Brexit is thought to be done and if Labour decide to elect a leader with mass appeal. MPs are always vocal about their communities but these guys will more than most have to show that they have made that difference in Westminster for the folks back home. Incentives and disincentives change when your party finally has a majority, or when the leadership question is settled. But that is very different from the system itself changing – so don't let the presence of a new Parliament lull you into thinking the right politics is arriving any time soon. This book will remain painfully relevant for a long time to come.

Q: grails input tag: placeholder not shown if value is a whitespace I have an input tag field in my gsp (Grails project) and I want to use a placeholder to show some text when field is empty:
<input type="text" name="textField" id="textField" value="${receiptInstance?.patient?.surname} ${receiptInstance?.patient?.name}" placeholder=<g:message code="patient.choose" default="Insert patient..." />/>

When I create a new object, value is not empty, but it has got a whitespace, so placeholder is not shown.
How can I change this kind of behaviour to use placeholder? Is there a way to eliminate the whitespace in value?

A: A workaround can be:
<g:set var="myVal" value="${receiptInstance?.patient?.surname?:''} ${receiptInstance?.patient?.name?:''}"/>
<input type="text" name="textField" id="textField" value="${myVal?.trim()}" placeholder='<g:message code="patient.choose" default="Insert patient..." />'/>

Note:- Add ' in your placeholder, as I have added. Or you can use following code as well
<input type="text" name="textField" id="textField" value="${myVal?.trim()}" placeholder="${g.message(code: 'patient.choose', default: 'Insert Patient...')}"/>

A: You could do something like this:
<g:set var="tmpValue" value="${receiptInstance?.patient?.surname} ${receiptInstance?.patient?.name}"/>
<g:textField name="textField"
             value="${tmpValue.trim()}"
             placeholder="${message(code: 'patient.choose', default:'Insert patient')}"/>

If you wanted to get rid of the temporary variable, you could do something like this:
<g:textField name="textField"
             value="${(receiptInstance?.patient?.surname + ' ' + receiptInstance?.patient?.name).trim()}"
             placeholder="${message(code: 'patient.choose', default:'Insert patient')}"/>

Either way you will need to deal with the literal "null" showing up if receiptInstance?.patient?.surname or receiptInstance?.patient?.name ever turn out to be null.  That is simple enough to do, but is a separate issue and I have left that out to keep the code above focused on the question as asked.
I hope that helps.
EDIT:
You could also use a simple tag to help:
// grails-app/taglib/com/demo/PatientTagLib.groovy
package com.demo

class PatientTagLib {
    static defaultEncodeAs = [taglib:'html']

    static namespace = 'patient'

    def fullName = { attrs ->
        def patient = attrs.patient
        if(patient) {
            def fullNameStr = patient.name ?: '' +
                              ' ' +
                              patient.surname ?: ''
            out << fullNameStr.trim()
        }
    }
}

Then in your GSP:
<g:textField name="textField"
             value="${patient.fullName(patient: receiptInstance?.patient)}"
             placeholder="${message(code: 'patient.choose', default:'Insert patient')}"/>

A: Some magic of .with() can be used:
<input type="text" name="textField" id="textField" value="${receiptInstance?.patient?.with{surname +' '+ name}}" placeholder="<g:message code='patient.choose' default='Insert patient...' />"/>

26 injured after Jodhpur-bound train derails near Rajasthan's Pali
Image Credit: freepressjournal.in
By Siddharth Sharma On Jan 2, 2023
On Monday, as many as eleven coaches of the Bandra Terminus-Jodhpur Suryanagari Express are impacted post a derailment incident near Pali in Rajasthan during the early hours. The news agency PTI reported quoting an official that at least twenty-six passengers were injured in the train derailment.
"11 coaches were impacted due to derailment of Bandra Terminus-Jodhpur Suryanagari Express train. Higher officials have reached the spot. Buses have been arranged for stranded passengers so that they can reach their destinations," according to the Chief Public Relation officer (CPRO), NWR.
On the other hand, buses have been arranged for passengers who got stuck so that they reach their destination. The officials informed that almost half a dozen trains scheduled to pass through the route have been cancelled or diverted on alternate routes.
"Within 5 minutes of departing from Marwar junction, a vibration sound was heard inside the train & after 2-3 minutes, the train stopped. We got down & saw that at least 8 sleeper class coaches were off the tracks. Within 15-20 minutes, ambulances arrived," a passenger told ANI while speaking about the incident.
The incident took place at 3:27 am between the Rajkiawas-Bomadra section of the Jodhpur division. An official informed that railways minister Ashwini Vaishnaw was monitoring the situation. Also, it is expected that the railway minister will visit the accident site in the evening.

Keeping in mind the Canucks draft 26th this year, who do you like
If MG wants younger bigger and meaner this guy might be a decent choice, he's ranked 25th by THN
Tom Wilson THW Close-Up:
Date of birth: 3/29/1994
Place of birth: Toronto, Canada
Ht: 6'4″ Wt: 194 lbs
Shoots: Right
Draft eligibility: 2012
Wilson plays like Milan Lucic
I've always gravitated towards power forwards in the NHL and Tom Wilson seems to be no exception. With his mammoth size, bruising physical play and mental toughness, it is no wonder why Wilson continues to move up the rankings charts. Last year, Wilson only played in 28 games and scored a measly six points, but his presence was felt on the PIM sheet. As a 16 year-old, scouts knew they were only seeing a single aspect of Wilson's overall potential.
In an offseason where the Plymouth Whalers gained statesmen JT Miller and Danny Vanderwiel, on top of a solid returning class featuring the likes of Rickard Rakell, Stefan Noesen, Garrett Meurs and Austin Levi, Tom Wilson found himself in an optimum position surrounded by top level prospects to showcase his talents this season. He has become an integral part of the Whalers' success this season as the team sits two points behind the London Knights in the Western Conference, good for 2nd overall.
The biggest improvement Tom has made from last season has been his skating. Where he once was a very choppy skater, Wilson has honed his skills tremendously over the course of a season. For a "big man" it isn't very often you see shifty moves like the ones Wilson has, but that's where his style of play becomes deceptive for other teams. If he won't beat you with his body, he will certainly take advantage with his stickwork. His shot certainly has a great deal of speed behind it, but he needs to work on his release. A knock on him throughout the season is his consistency; some games he has "it" and some games he doesn't.
Overall, Wilson is tough to gauge in terms of potential. He could top out as a top-6 winger capable of putting up points or fit nicely in a bottom-6 role as an enforcer/checking line winger. The beautiful thing about a prospect of Wilson's caliber is that he is able to be slotted anywhere in the lineup. In all honesty, I can see him going in the late first or early second round in this year's Draft.
Scout's Honor:
"Punishing winger with decent hands and promise in slot anchoring. Skating is a work in progress but his impact as an imposing offensive corner punisher is undeniable. Not destined to be a 20-goal NHLer, but will have merit down low and in front, as he brings nastiness and grit." – Jay Carlos, MyNHLDraft.com
"Wilson is a very imposing winger who has thrived with the Plymouth Whalers this season as a forward who brings plenty of size, grit, and physicality to the team's lineup. Wilson is versatile and has enough ability to play with skilled players while playing a physical role. His skating has steadily improved and his willingness to take the body with his size creates a lot of space for teammates. He's good in the corners on the cycle and does a good job wearing down opposing teams as well. It is concerning that he only has 6 goals while playing with players like Stefan Noesen, Rickard Rakell, and JT Miller, but Wilson is a player who is likely going to take some time to grow into his frame and find out just how high his ceiling is." – The Scouting Report
"At 6'4″ Wilson possesses tremendous size which he uses to his advantage. He seems to relish the physical game, uses his size to battle along the boards, drive to the net, and park himself in front of opposing goaltenders to cause havoc. Once he adds some bulk to his frame, he'll be a force. Wilson has a finishing touch. They may not always be the prettiest goals, but he knows just what to do and where to go to clean up the trash and deposit pucks into the net. He has already established a strong two way game. His skating is above average. We can't say enough about his physicality." – 2012 OHL Draft Eligible Players
From the Central Combine testing
Among other standouts in the physical tests were Thomas Wilson (a potential first round selection) and Chris Calnan. Wilson, a big, tough winger, who plays for the OHL Plymouth Whalers, ranked high in the anaerobic and aerobic exercises, leg strength, hand strength, the bench press, and in push ups.

Sounda alot like Kassian,including the RW position.
I'd like to see the canucks get another center or defenseman if possible with their first round pick unless they do a trade to achieve the same.
I think Kessler's game could be on the decline offensively and he might be a better fit on the 3rd line in the near future leaving a big need for a top 6 center.

I don't follow juniors.
That being said when discussing who to select with a first round pick, a forward whose best scouting reports include phrases like "not destined to be a 20 goal scorer" - so we're talking about a guy without the offensive upside of Chris Higgins - is not high on my list.
I've seen others who do follow juniors say that Wilson's failure to dominate as a man among boys is troubling and it makes sense to me.

Could be you're correct. I don't think you're going to get a prolific scorer at the 26th spot. I liked this bit though "Wilson plays like Milan Lucic " That low in the draft I think it tends to be either pure luck or it's a depp draft which 2012 is not supposed to be. The avaerage for getting an NHL player in the 1st round is 60% but if you think chnaces are the first 15 selections are likely about a 100 % then the lower end has to be around 25%
Fred wrote: I don't think you're going to get a prolific scorer at the 26th spot.
Probably not. Certainly not if you take a guy with limited upside (not just Wilson but Patrick White, Nathan Smith types too).
But, I went back and looked at the 2002-2006 drafts (it's pretty likely we know who is going to make it out of those drafts at this point) at the players picked in the 20-30 range.. that's 50 players.. and I see names like Claude Giroux, Patrik Berglund, TJ Oshie, Travis Zajac, Andrej Meszaros, Brent Burns, Kesler, Mike Richards, Corey Perry..
That 2003 draft really fleshes things out of course but there are guys going in that range who end up producing at the NHL level, some a whole lot. There are definitely players left on the board at that point with big upside, they just aren't "can't miss" picks like the guys who go top five or ten.
The avaerage for getting an NHL player in the 1st round is 60% but if you think chnaces are the first 15 selections are likely about a 100 % then the lower end has to be around 25%
Well again in the range I looked at I counted well over 20 NHLers, I'd say it's upwards of 40%.

If available, Wilson would be an intriguing pick, but it all depends on the offensive upside Gillis & co. see in him. Wilson has also been injury prone, and for a guy who plays the type of physical game that he does, this could be a problem. Is he likely to be a 20+ goal scorer in the NHL? Someone like Samuelsson might have less upside but a safer pick. Other forwards that might be intriguing depending on where the Canucks have them projected are Laughton and Sissons.

I don't follow junior all that much but with Wilson it may also depend on what his injuries are. Are they the injuries of a tall guy likely in need of adding a 25-30 pounds of muscle or are they chronic type injuries (or can they become chronic)?

Success rate of first-round draft picks
•Of the 494 career players drafted in the 1990s, 160 were selected in the first round.
•Of those 160 career players, over half have played more than 500 NHL games.
•Among the older players (those drafted from 1990 to 1994), six first-round picks have made it to 1,000 games. Another couple of dozen are still active and within reach of 1,000.
•Based on the 1990s sample, a first-round draft pick has a 63 percent chance of being a career player.
Results can vary widely from year to year:
•The 1993 NHL Draft produced 22 career players from 26 first-round picks.
•In 1999, less than half of the first-round selections went on to become career players (12 out of 28).
Beyond the first round.
This is where the NHL dream begins to fade in a hurry:
•From 1990 to 1999, about one-quarter of the players selected in the second round turned into NHL career players.
Those drafted in the third round and beyond are really up against it.
•From over 2,000 players selected in the third round and beyond during 1990s, just 261 made it as NHL career players. That's about 12 percent.

Are you talking about Wilson? The best scouting reports I've seen had him had him pegged as potentially developing into a legitimate powerforward in the NHL. As for Wilson not dominating as a man among boys, Wilson dominated physically and when given an opportunity showed that he could score (check his playoff stats). Lucic's development has really opened doors for guys like Wilson who's goal scoring totals in his draft year are less than ideal.

The 2012 draft is interesting because of all the injuries that happened with many of the top prospects. Prior to this year, the 2012 draft was actually seen as a deep draft. Regardless, if you look at the picks 26th and to the end of the 2nd round since just before the lockout, you can find a profilic scorer in each of those drafts (discounting the recent ones since we need more time for that).
I guess it comes down to how Gillis & co. view Wilson. Wilson has home-run potential but is also considered a safe pick because he's likely going to make the NHL as a bottom 6 player at worst. At this point in time, the Gillis can keep picking talented projects and try to develop them or try to draft what is considered a safe pick and pick a guy projected to be a championship team contributor (#4 Dman or 3rd line character player).

I read that two years ago he had severed wrist tendons and this year he had sprained MCL and broken knuckle from his fight against Thrower in the prospects game.

Yeah the quote I used was directly from one of the scouting reports Fred posted. If most others see his potential as higher than that, great.
His career trajectory does look similar to Lucic's at this point, and whoever bets on that continuing is going to get a gem if does. Of course, I thought the story on Lucic was that he beat the odds developing so quickly after his draft year but if Wilson does the same we might start seeing kids who appear to be putting it all together just months before the draft going in the middle of the first round or even higher..

I think we already have seen kids, putting it all together just months before the draft and moving up the draft, especially when we're talking about kids with size and a strong combine. Scouts are always trying to project where a prospect will be in a few years time and teams like swinging for the fences.

Queer Women Are Taking Over The 2019 Primetime Emmy Awards
September 20, 2019 Isabelle Lichtenstein
Would it really be a queer women Emmy Awards guide if we didn't include "Killing Eve?"
The 71st Emmys are underway, and queer women are already crushing it. Last weekend at the Creative Arts Emmy Awards, Jane Lynch won for her comedic guest role on "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel," Cherry Jones was awarded for her dramatic guest role on "The Handmaid's Tale," and Hannah Gadsby saw her special "Nanette" win for outstanding writing in a variety special. As the television world gears up for the Primetime Emmy Awards this Sunday, we're stopping to appreciate the queer women of the Emmys, because they deserve it. And we deserve to see some representational wins!
Let's get into it with the ladies you came here for: the explicitly and proudly queer actors, shows, and characters. Funnywoman and out lesbian Kate McKinnon will celebrate a sixth consecutive nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy for her time on "Saturday Night Live" this weekend. She previously took home the award in 2016 and 2017, so we're rooting for another win. Leslye Headland, one of the creators of "Russian Doll" along with Natasha Lyonne (an honorary queer woman) and Amy Poehler, received a nomination for Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series. And although she wasn't able to take home a win, Laverne Cox was nominated for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama Series for her role in "Orange is the New Black" — the third nom nod for the program. She ended up losing to Cherry Jones, another queer woman, so it's cool at least that there are enough queer women that we're finally openly competing against each other!
Rent: Live also saw a fair share of success, with the production winning two of the five awards for which it was nominated: Outstanding Lighting Design / Lighting Direction for a Variety Special and Outstanding Production Design for a Variety Special. The show was a live adaptation of the 1996 musical of the same name that features a slew of LGBTQ+ characters, including queer women Maureen Johnson and Joanne Jefferson (played by Vanessa Hudgens and Kiersey Clemons respectively).
Another queer-centered program that's hoping to see some wins this weekend is FX and Ryan Murphy's "POSE," which was nominated for a total of six Emmys. At the Creative Arts Emmys, the show lost out on production, casting, and costume design to "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel" and "Game of Thrones" (homophobia!), but it's still in the running for two awards this weekend: Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series and Outstanding Drama Series.
While Netflix's "GLOW" doesn't market itself as an explicitly LGBTQ+ show, it brought major queer women representation. Two characters, Arthie Premkumar (Sunita Mani) and Yolanda Rivas (Shakira Barrera), develop a major lesbian plotline in the second season as Arthie discovers her sexuality and the two fall in love. I mean, is it really that surprising that a show about wrestling has queer women, though? Definitely not, so it's no surprise either that the show was nominated for five awards. While it's still waiting until Sunday to hear about Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series, the show was able to snag the win for Outstanding Stunt Coordination for a Comedy Series or Variety Program (aka they won for kick-ass action sequences — very butch).
Finally, would it really be a queer women Emmy Awards guide if we didn't include "Killing Eve?" The answer is a resounding no! Although the show doesn't feature explicitly queer characters or really bill itself as anything other than a straight program, it continues to draw us in with incredible Sapphic tension. While I'm happy to mention "Killing Eve" in a queer capacity, I would be remiss to not discuss the possible queerbaiting controversy. In a previous interview with The Gay Times, Oh responded to comments of it being a queer program by saying, "You guys are tricky because you want to make it into something … but it just isn't." She was quick to follow up with that idea that, "The fluidity … is what I think people can truly relate to. We are not saying one thing or another because people are not one thing or another." Although Comer is happy to call Oh's character her "girlfriend" in season two of the show, it's still not a fully realized queer show. And while we celebrate the subtext, it's important to consider the consequences of queerbaiting.
Regardless, the show about an assassin and an MI-6 engaged in a sexy game of cat and mouse managed to rack up a whopping nine nominations this year. Both Jodi Comer (who plays antagonist Oxsana/Villanelle) and Sandra Oh (starring as the titular Eve Polastri) received nominations for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series, pitting them against each other and hopefully setting up some IRL tension for us. The amazing leads are also up against Viola Davis for her role as a queer woman in "How To Get Away With Murder." Perhaps most exciting in terms of queer women in "Killing Eve" is the nomination of out lesbian actress Fiona Shaw for Outstanding Supporting Actress for a Drama Series. She's also nominated for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series for her stint on "Fleabag," another show by "Killing Eve" creator Phoebe Waller-Bridge (though, like Laverne Cox, she lost to Cherry Jones).
While The Straights will be fawning over boring men in the same exact suit this Sunday, I'll be celebrating the fabulous queer women (who will, undoubtedly, be best dressed) of the Primetime Emmy Awards. Will Kate McKinnon win a third award? Will Sandra Oh's hair look impeccable as always? I can't wait to find out.

The Netherland's Only Lesbian Escort Agency & Honest Conversations About Queer Women Buying Sex

INDIAN RIVER COUNTY — In the early 20th century, Vero Beach was the place to be bitten by mosquitoes.
So much so, the state's first mosquito control district was established in Indian River County in 1925 as a way to combat the swarms of pesky bugs that were all over the area.
Calvin Reams, whose grandfather was one of the early settlers on John's Island, said he remembers hearing stories as a child about what life was like for the early settlers in their constant fight against mosquitoes.
It wasn't until the early 1900s that the link between diseases and mosquitoes was discovered. In 1923, Florida's first public health officer, Dr. Joseph Y. Porter, along with other mosquito control leaders, organized the Florida Anti-Mosquito Association (FAMA).
Florida's legislature enacted laws authorizing communities to defend themselves against the disease spreading and pest mosquitoes by establishing local mosquito control districts.
Today, the Indian River Mosquito Control District is an independent taxing district that provides mosquito control services in the eastern two-thirds of Indian River County. It is a Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services state-certified mosquito control program.
A board of commissioners sets policy, adopts legislation, and approves the budget. The board appoints an administrator to conduct the day-to-day district business, to prepare the budget, to oversee department heads and to recommend policy.
The board's three members are elected at large for staggered, four-year terms. To accomplish this, two commission seats are up for election in one election cycle with the remaining commission seat up for election in a second election cycle two years later. Board officers are elected annually.
According to Doug Carlson, the director for the Indian River Mosquito Control District, the war against mosquitoes is fought through integrated pest management.
During the 1950s and early 1960s, the district impounded approximately 2,600 acres of the nearly 4,500 acres of coastal marshes in Indian River County by constructing low, earthen dikes around the high marshes that prevent mosquitoes from laying their eggs there.
The impoundments are connected to the lagoon by culverts that are open to natural tides most of the year to allow for free exchange of water, nutrients and organisms.
During the summer season, these areas are kept flooded to minimize the amount of exposed mud available for mosquito egg-laying.
More: How did Vero Beach get its name?
Stationary electric or portable diesel pumps are used to add enough lagoon water to the marshes until the marsh is covered with a minimum of a few inches of water. This prevents the salt marsh mosquitoes from laying their eggs and the production cycle is stopped.
But approximately 1,800 acres of the salt marshes in Indian River County are not impounded.
Mosquito production can be very high in these areas and must be controlled by larviciding. A crop-duster type aircraft is used to apply granular larvicides, an insect growth regulator or bacterium, to areas where ground treatments are not feasible.
From the 1940s through the late 1960s, the district applied adulticides (chemicals applied to kill adult flying mosquitoes) which were commonly diesel fuel mixed with an insecticide. The formulation was heated until a thick white oily fog was generated, which was applied from a truck.
Back then, none of this was a concern in an underpopulated county. Today, not only would this fog be an extreme hazard to traffic, but it has an unpleasant lingering odor and environmental concerns.
The old fogging trucks were meant to work at one speed — 5 mph. These were later "improved" to spray at about 10 mph. It took days to spray just a portion of the county. Sometimes the diesel fog would ignite, causing a large fireball behind the truck.
Today, trucks spray ultra-low volumes of insecticide throughout the county during the night, guided by a computer system that determines where and when to spray. This GPS-guidance system is one of the high-tech tools that the district uses in its fight against mosquitoes.
Carlson said district staff provide presentations at schools, to civic associations, homeowners associations, church groups, as well as participate in various community events to educate the public about mosquitoes. He and members of his staff are available to answer any questions from the public year-round.
Mosquitoes are known from as far back as the Triassic Period – 400 million years ago.
They find hosts by sight (they observe movement); by detecting infra-red radiation emitted by warm bodies; and by chemical signals (mosquitoes are attracted to carbon dioxide and lactic acid, among other chemicals) at distances of 25 to 35 meters.
Mosquitoes fly an estimated 1 to 1.5 mph.
Bigger people are often more attractive to mosquitoes because they are larger targets and they produce more mosquito attractants, namely carbon dioxide and lactic acid.
Active or fidgety people also produce more carbon dioxide and lactic acid.
Dark clothing has been shown to attract some species of mosquitoes more than lighter- colored clothing.
A full moon increased mosquito activity 500 percent in one study.

Army Maj. Matt Cadicamo missed his son Nate's first steps and his first birthday while serving in Iraq from last July through this March. Cadicamo served with Fort Carson's 4th Engineer Battalion, 3rd Brigade Combat Team, in the town of Al Dujayl, north of Baghdad. He's one of about 12,000 Fort Carson troops who have come home from the war, some 10,000 of whom have returned just in the past couple of months. "There's a lot of adjustment that military families have to go through," Cadicamo said recently at his home in northeast Colorado Springs. He and his wife, Sheryne, and Nate, who is 16 months old, expect their next move will be to a U.S. Army base in Germany. For more on returning Fort Carson vets, read this week's cover story, which begins on page 15.

Q: Team Foundation Server 2012 Automated Build Target Location I have a solution in VS2012 and when I do a publish in VS it drops the compiled code to the target location with the following structure
\bin
\Content
\Properties
\Scripts
\Services
... etc.

When the TFS 2012 automated build runs it drops the code into my target location with the following structure
MyProject_Build\MyProject_Build_20130823.5\_PublishedWebsites\MyProject\bin
MyProject_Build\MyProject_Build_20130823.5\_PublishedWebsites\MyProject\Content
... etc.

I would like to drop the code into the location like the first example, or at least
\MyProject\bin
... etc.

The idea is to publish the compiled code to the same exact location every time so that IIS knows where the code is right?
How can I change this?

A: This is something TFS doesn't support out of the box but with Process Template customization you can definitely do it.
However, I would suggest updating the website directly using msdeploy. If you just have to update one website then it is very easy using msdeploy commands in TFS(https://stackoverflow.com/a/13706005/581922).
Edit:
Based upon your comment you will have to customize the build process. Ewald Hofman has a great series of articles on how to customize TFS Build process templates to suit your needs.
If you want to customize the TFS Process Template then

*

*You can either do everything in powershell but invoking a powershell script as Ewald demonstrates.  I have written a blog post on how to deploy websites to IIS using MSdeploy, Powershell and TFSBuild

*Use InvokeProcess Activitiy in TFSProcess template and use Xcopy to copy files to destination folder on the server you want.

You might also want to check this post.

A: Create publish profiles for your website and choose publish method as file copy and choose the shares folder location where you want to copy the files. In the tfs build template, in ms build parameters options choose the publish profile you created.

Verbal communication is one of God's favorite inventions. He created speaking beings in His image and then spoke to them. Over the millennia, He gave visions to prophets and commanded them to speak or write what they had seen. And He inspired select prophets to write His words as they were moved by the Holy Spirit. He gave us a book.
So whenever we use words, we're doing something of personal importance to God. And since we believers are at peace with God through Christ and represent God to a world that does not know Him, our writing and speaking carry that much more importance.
We should not be surprised, then, that Scripture has so much to say about how we use words. And we should attend energetically to how that instruction applies to posting in Internet forums.

Now he has taken on the US military and State Department. To many, including Daniel Ellsberg, Assange is a hero of extraordinary proportions. Time Magazine has nominated him for "Person of the Year."3 To others, including an increasing number of his fellow Wikileakers, he has begun to lose touch with reality.
In the process of leaking information, Wikileaks has endangered lives and angered a host of nations. The conflict Julian Assange has begun is equivalent to taking on several grizzly bears in a fistfight. He doesn't stand a chance.

In Philippians 1:12-18, Paul provides a model for our methods in responding to false accusations.
Facts appear to be Paul's primary weapon for taking on the untruths about himself. Assuming God wants us to write or speak publicly about the controversy, we should do our best to get the truth out there through whatever means are available. But in the actual writing or speaking, we should be restrained in our presentation.
Our Lord has withheld much information about these men from us, and it is not because He lacked knowledge, authority, or justification to reveal all. Whatever His reasons for not giving more information about the preachers of envy, those reasons were apparently controlling in this example. Though the men would have been quick to name Paul in their own messages, convincing their listeners of Paul's wickedness, our Lord keeps their names out of the press. Though they committed their verbal sins publicly, Christ does not publicly elaborate on their sinfulness. Indeed, we are not given any salacious details that would tease and tempt our sinful flesh. Instead we get the barest of facts regarding sinful motives, and no names to put with the faces.
In Philippians 1, Paul tells of some brothers in Christ1 who attacked him verbally from their pulpits, impugning his reputation and character in an obvious attempt to raise their own lights in the church by helping one of its luminaries to fall. From Paul's day till now, the same sad sort of behavior continues to be exemplified by members of Christ's body who should know better. Whether sitting at a desk and writing books, uploading to the Internet, or mounting pulpits on Sunday morning, men and women are still falling into the same trap year after year, thinking that the demise of someone else's reputation in the church will enliven their own.
Speaking their hearts but lacking or ignoring the truth about the other person, they claim the servant of God to be what he is not—guilty of some imagined sin or error. From Athanasius to Al Mohler, God's dear servants have been the subjects of gossip, smear campaigns, character assassinations, rumors, backbiting, and generally poor treatment—and not just from the unsaved, but from redeemed people acting and thinking sinfully. Sometimes their accusations fall on deaf ears, and the charge goes nowhere. But sometimes the charge gains an audience, and other proponents take it up.

Good perspective from Emma Raducanu after her loss.
"I think I'll brush this off. Yesterday was pretty much my 2nd time playing competitive points for 2 months. I'm confident that I can brush it off and keep going and keep working." Hit the practice court right after the match.
— WTA Insider (@WTA_insider) January 11, 2022
The 19-year-old from Bromley, South London played her first match under new coach Torben Beltz this week, but has won only two WTA matches since her triumph at Flushing Meadows.
Tim Henman, who has been a mentor to Raducanu, defended her saying she's still gaining experience on the WTA Tour.
"The reality is she's so new to all of this, and it is a steep learning curve," Henman said.
"I get asked all the time how good she's going to be and she is a fantastic player, an enormous talent, a great athlete who's got an amazing mindset, but I always think that the time to judge these young players is when they played every tournament twice.

Novak Djokovic included
Meanwhile World No 1 Novak Djokovic was included in the draw, which was delayed by an hour, despite an on-going fall-out with the Australian government over his visa.
He was drawn against fellow Serbian Miomir Kecmanovic.

A vast Chinese province of nearly 6 million people has generated all the power it needed for an entire week without using any fossil fuels, according to state-run Chinese media.
Qinghai, a Tibetan plateau province in the country's northwest, derived all of its power from wind, solar, and hydro-electricity from June 17 to June 23. The experiment was part of a trial run by the government to see if the electricity grid could cope without the kind of constant, reliable energy normally provided by fossil fuels. The Chinese government claims that Qinghai's week without fossil fuels sets a new global benchmark. In May last year, Portugal (population 10 million) ran its electricity for four consecutive days without fossil fuels.
But Qinghai had some advantages. It's sparsely populated, compared to other Chinese provinces. As the source of China's three mighty rivers — the Yellow, Yangtze, and Mekong — it has an unusually large number of hydroelectric facilities. Nearly 80 percent of the energy used during the test week came from hydro. But the plateau is also bathed in sun, making Qinghai a prime site for the expansion of the Chinese solar industry. China completed the world's biggest solar farm there earlier this year.
In the wake of the Trump administration's decision to pull out of the Paris climate accord, China is forging ahead with aggressive plans to find large-scale solutions to global warming and become a world leader in green energy development — primarily by sinking massive amounts of money into solar and wind and slowing the growth of coal. China wants to create 13 million renewable energy jobs by 2020. Seven pilot programs to introduce regional cap-and-trade carbon trading will finally be stitched together into a national market later this year.
