Music plays an important role in our productions by linking the different plays and in contributing to the emotional power of the performances. Most often this has been Early Music (see Richard Still's piece below) but everything from folk to electronic music, from hymns and carols to rock, have featured in our shows over the years.
The following is taken from the programme for our Millennium performances and was written by Richard Still who was Musical Director from 1994 to 2000.
We know that music was used during the medieval performances of Mystery Plays – there are musical directions in the original manuscripts and at one point Herod calls "You musicians of mirth, now blow up a good blast". Engravings, woodcuts and paintings of the time show musicians as a part of theatrical productions.
What music was used is more of a problem. The only piece of music which is known for certain to be associated with medieval biblical plays such as these is the " Te Deum" – a hymn of praise – which the Lincoln productions use as a part of the background music. The music used in the earliest medieval performances would have been selected from melodies already in existence and known to the audiences, i.e. earlier than the date of 1450 when the plays were written.
Keith Ramsay suggests that the plays were performed on and off in Lincoln up to about 1565. This gives us a period of over a century when the plays were being presented.
For the modern revival of the plays, the music has been chosen to include all of the styles and musical techniques which might have been heard throughout the plays' first span of production. This is not a reproduction of one specific, imaginary, medieval performance but a distillation of all the possible ways of adding music to these plays, drawing on music from the 12th to the 16th centuries.
The instruments used, also fit with this period of history. People are probably most familiar with the recorder — not the instrument so beloved of parents of six-year-old budding musicians – but a whole range of lovely, mellow sounding woodwind instruments. We also use the curved crumhorns, wooden renaissance flute, psaltery, rauschpfeife and lots of percussion.
The musicians of the Mystery Plays Company are based on the Lincoln early music group, Bergamasca. This is a group of musicians who share an interest in the music of the middle ages and the renaissance, coinciding very well with the period over which the Mystery Plays were first being performed in Lincoln. The members of Bergamasca are supported by further instrumentalists and singers during this production. Members of Bergamasca are; Christine Hasman, Helen Mason, Richard Still, Jane Stubbs and Jane Ward. During the 2000 production, we are supported by Richard Lindsay and the actors, Ba Wheeler, Mekala Mahalingham, Cassie Ulph and Katie Greathead.
Bergamasca's CD was released to co-incide with the 2000 production.

Having been around the sports of bodybuilding and fitness over the years, I have some good news to report, an admirable champion was given the trophy! If that sounds like a knock on the character of other people it's not. It's an exceptional praise for an up and coming figure competitor named Trisha Lobo. Trisha isn't a camera wolf and isn't a jobless nomad on a quest for the golden trophy. Sounds funny right? Every one of us knows someone like that, don't we? Well, this Figure Champion isn't that person. Trisha is a full time personal trainer, aerobics instructor, figure competitor and mom of three that is as unassuming as she is sweet. When asked who has been a positive influence in her life, she quickly responds without any hesitation, "my family is very supportive to me. My kids think my competing is "cool," my daughters want biceps now". At 5'2" and weighing in at 115 lbs, Trisha has a daughter in pre-school, a daughter going into middle school and a son in high school who is now bigger than she is. What impresses me about her is how well she balances her life. Trisha's trainer Justinian (Justin) Miller says, "I admire the girl's integrity, the day before she wins her show, she's here in the gym training like 5 clients with pro tan on in between periods of driving around town running multiple errands like it's any day of the week. That definitely impressed me! I'd be in a much more selfish place than that the day before a competition, but she does it all with a smile".
Trisha is quick to point out her trainer's help at critical moments. "Justin was a huge help to me the last few weeks. You have to trust in someone's judgment because your mind plays tricks on what you see in the mirror sometimes. He was instrumental in helping me with the Atlantic States this year. He has vision and I trust what he says because he tells it like it is!" (Trisha won the NPC Atlantic States Figure Title in July of this year and is competing in the upcoming NPC National Figure Championships on August 8 & 9 at Tribeca Performing arts here in NY). Trisha had entered a figure competition for the first time in November of 2001 and placed 5th making her want to come in better for the next time. "I trained hard for this show, especially toward the end. I averaged about 2 hrs a day of cardio and weight trained 3 days a week. I hit each body part only 1 x per week and make sure I balance my diet. Two mistakes many girls make prior to shows are over-training and over dieting. I like to keep a balanced approach and give my body plenty of recovery since I'm in a caloric deficit."
The National Figure Championship hopeful believes in eating a balanced diet year round taking in good protein sources, complex carbs and essential fats. She uses the weekend as her "cheat time." When she diets for shows, she follows a high protein, fairly low-carb, low fat diet of approach. "When it came time to eat some extra food the day before going on stage this year, I just had some red meat and extra sweet potatoes. If you put food in your body, it's not used to you are taking chances."
Trisha has made progress in building muscle over the last couple of years since she started working at Power Fitness in Old Brookville, NY. "The trainers here are all in very good shape and being in that type of atmosphere motivates you to want to improve as well." At Power Fitness, she is a full time trainer and teaches at least 6 aerobics classes a week. "People say that I should cut down on my work schedule and my classes when it comes closer to the shows, but I disagree. To me figure is more than just looks. I know it's simply a visual look on stage, but that's not why I do it when you break it all down," says the 34-year-old champion. "Whether you place the way you want is not the important thing. When I walk on stage, I walk on with who I am as a person. I'm a caring loving mom and a person that has passion. So when I walk up there, I go up as an athlete and a complete human being who is aspiring to become more."
You can't help but love this girl's attitude. Did I say girl? I meant to say woman, because she is a complete woman in every sense of the word. A lifetime drug free figure competitor whom, with a few more lbs. of muscle, can be a leading spokes person for this new sport in the professional ranks. She exudes the spirit of a winner. Best of luck Trisha Lobo; the sport needs a few more like you. Supplement companies take notice; this one is an up and coming gem!

Q: Update state of nested array with React Hooks I have been working with React Hooks for a while, but the biggest problem for me is working with arrays.
How to update value of nested array of objects? I want to change dropdown type.
My code is below and changes the state directly. How can I fix this? What is the most correct code?
Thanks for your help.
  const [grups, setGrups] = useState([
    {
      id: 1,
      css: "col",
      components: [
        { id: 1, type: "textbox" },
        { id: 2, type: "integer" },
      ],
    },

    {
      id: 2,
      css: "col",
      components: [
        { id: 1, type: "numerictextbox" },
        **{ id: 2, type: "dropdown" },**
      ],
    },
  ]);

 function handleClick(gindex,cindex) {
    const newgrups = [...grups];
    newgrups[gindex] = {...grups[gindex] ,components: [...grups[gindex].components]};
    newgrups[gindex].components[cindex].tip="datetime";
    setGrups(newgrups);

  }

A: So you need something like
function handleClick(gindex, cindex) {
  // use map to create a new array and at the same time
  // modify the contents when required
  const newgrups = grups.map((grup, gidx) => {
    // if the index is not the one we want return the while grup as is
    if (gidx !== gindex) return grup;
    // otherwise create a new one by spreading the existing
    return {
      ...grup,
      // and override the prop which is changed
      components: grup.components.map((component, cidx) => {
        // again if the component is not the one we want to update
        // return it as is
        if (cidx !== cindex) return component;
        // otherwise create a new one by spreading the existing
        // and adding/modifying the props we want
        return {
          ...component,
          tip: 'datetime'
        }
      })
    }
  });

  setGrups(newgrups);
}

If you just want to go with the code you have, you just need to create a new component as well
newgrups[gindex].components[cindex] = { ...newgrups[gindex].components[cindex],
  tip: 'datetime'
}

A: It is good practice to design your state as you would design a database. In a database normalised design is recommended because you can't just nest states in other states. In your case you could split the state in the same way:
grups
[
    {
      id: 1,
      css: "col"
    },

    {
      id: 2,
      css: "col"
    }
];

components
[
        { grups_id: 1, id: 1, type: "textbox" },
        { grups_id: 1, id: 2, type: "integer" },
        { grups_id: 2, id: 1, type: "numerictextbox" },
        { grups_id: 2, id: 2, type: "dropdown" }
]

This makes it significantly easier to handle the state and avoid nesting and complex procedues. You can easily work with components by applying componenents.filter() and filter by grups_id.

October 13, 2013 Action Films / Crime / Dramas / Foreign Films
Fallen Angels (1995)
Directed by Kar Wai Wong
Starring: Leon Lai, Michelle Reis, Takeshi Kaneshiro, Karen Mok
When his life as a professional killer begins to wear on him, Wong Chi-Ming (Lai) begins to prepare his exit strategy. He's unsure of his decision because of his attachment to his partner (Reis), an attachment he knows is bad for business. As he continues to finalize his retirement, he crosses paths with a mute drifter (Kaneshiro) and an eccentric young woman (Mok) in search of her lost lover. These four people continue to cross paths, each searching for something they need to move forward in life.
This is one of the first Chinese films I've ever reviewed. Director Kar Wai Wong has a unique vision, and it was evident in this intensely visual film. The movie stars Leon Lai (Three), Michelle Reis (The Legend), Takeshi Kaneshiro (House of Flying Daggers), and Karen Mok (Black Mask). The story was written by Wong as well, and is set against the urban backdrop of Hong Kong.
This movie is stylistically unique from the beginning. The camera work is all done with wide angle lenses and intense lighting. At times this is a bit much to take in, but in small doses it's really beautiful to see. The sound and the score work nicely with segments of the film as well. From a technical aspect, this is a great example of several techniques, but unfortunately, the film lacks cohesiveness.
The story feels as though it was written for the visuals, and not the other way around. This makes the movie a bit difficult to follow at times. The film is actually a set of stories that are told in segments throughout the film. This might work for Tarantino, but it didn't work for Wong. Despite the visuals, I think this movie just doesn't communicate clearly enough to be successful.
This is one that I would only recommend to film students, or fans of Hong Kong cinema. This is an exciting visual adventure with a very disappointing narrative. This is a movie that won't work for many, but it's got some highlights for students of cinematography. I give this one 2.4 out of 5 stars.

The YS-11 was Japan's first and so-far only domestically designed airliner. The Nihon Aircraft Manufacturing Company received quite a bit of assistance from Hawker Siddeley during the design phase, as the similarity of the YS-11's engine nacelles to those of the contemporary HS-748 clearly shows. The YS-11, however, is a much larger aircraft, able to seat 64 passengers compared to the 748's 40. It saw considerable success both domestically and abroad, serving with no fewer that 72 different airlines and the militaries of Japan, Greece, Columbia and the Philippines. 4 remain in service with the JASDF.
Anyone familiar with Hasegawa's airliner kits will find themselves on familiar ground with this kit. Hasegawa's hard grey plastic makes up most of the model, with 4 vinyl washers (2 spare) to retain the propellers and 12 resin antennas which are needed to build the EW version in this boxing. There is one clear sprue holding the small windscreen.
Modellers wishing to do a civil scheme will rejoice that no conversion work will be necessary.
The fuselage is two halves from nose to tail. No cabin windows are provided; they're on the decal sheet. There is a rudimentary cockpit with 2 seats moulded onto the rear bulkhead, but little else will be seen through the very small cockpit windows. Hasegawa's solution for nose weight is 3 small pieces of white metal which are trapped between the cockpit bulkhead and a U-shaped retainer. Once in place, they provide sufficient weight to keep the model balanced properly. The resin antenna lumps and bumps are to be glued into place after the fuselage is closed up. The instructions clearly show where each is to be positioned.
The wings come in two pieces each from root to tip. Hasegawa has played their usual trick of moulding part of the flaps and ailerons into the upper half, and putting the seam line in the middle of the flaps rather than at the hinge line. This leads to unnecessary filling and sanding, and requires the modeller to take extra care to ensure a good fit. Why they couldn't move the seam a couple of milimetres is beyond me.
The tailplanes are one piece each with the elevators moulded in neutral. They could be displaced but this is rare in parked aircraft.
The engines come in two halves each with a portion of the wing leading edge on either side. There is a fit issue with the completed nacelles being slightly too narrow to fit comfortably into the recess moulded in the wing; they will need some shimming with plastic card. Once shimmed, there are no other fit problems, and the complex shape of the nacelles is captured well. The props may be left off until after painting and push fitted into the nacelles. Each propeller blade has 2 decals for the leading edge deicing strips and tip warning stripes. They ought to be trimmed very closely to the edges of the printed colour or else they'll be very difficult to place onto the tiny, narrow propeller blades. Placing all 16 will be an exercise in patience.
The landing gear struts and wheels are very delicate and to scale. There are no brake lines, but they'll look okay without them. The wheel well doors are overly thick, but nicely shaped.
I don't compare models to drawings or published measurements. When assembled it will look like a YS-11.
This boxing has markings for two otherwise identical aircraft from the JASDF's ADC Headquarters and Electronic Warfare Squadron, based at Iruma Air Base. Aircraft 12-1162 or 12-1163 may be modelled, but only the numbers change. The scheme is an older scheme of white over aluminium paint with a blue cheatline which differs from the current toned-down greys. It would have been nice to have that marking option available. Modellers wishing to portray other aircraft from the squadron are cautioned that they are equipped with GE T-64 engines with 3 blade propellers and larger nacelles. It may be possible to rob the nacelles from an LS Orion and the props from an A-model C-130A kit.
12-1162 captured on final approach for landing.
Highs: The only YS-11 in this scale. Very easy construction.
Lows: Only one paint scheme.
Verdict: This will be an enjoyable model.
Nice-but I wish it was in 1/72! I know about the Bandai kit, but it's quite hard to find, and I believe the reissue only has the tinted windows for the military version. I want to be able to build the civil version.

Dec 19 Sorxe Interview
Tanner the founder of the band joins me on Revelator 231 to talk about the bands new album and plans for 2018.
Sorxe, Phoenix, AZ-based experimental sludge/post metal band SORXE are set to release their substantially heavy, widely atmospheric new album, Matter & Void, on November 24 via Prosthetic Records. The album was recorded, mixed and co-produced by Matt Bayles (Russian Circles, Botch, Isis), and will be available via CD, limited edition violet and black swirl LP and all digital outlets. Pre-orders are available now here: http://smarturl.it/Sorxe
Today, SORXE have revealed another crushing new track, entitled "Distraction Party" (the first being the droning punisher, "Hypnotizer"), showcasing their unique, roaring two-bassist attack. Take a listen now via Loudwire: http://loudwire.com/sorxe-distraction-party-exclusive-song-premiere/
Guitarist, vocalist and synth player Tanner Crace says: "'Distraction Party' is one of our favorite songs to play live as it's a little more up-tempo and different than our other songs. It was one of those songs that just came together so fast and everything kind of locked into place within a few hours! Lyrically it ties into some of the other themes on the album, about an internal struggle with oneself. The absurd struggle with getting older and still maintaining a twenty-year-old's party lifestyle verses challenging your energy towards more productive efforts. It's a daily balancing act to stay sane in this world."

Q: Populate Samba AD reverse zone The problem is to populate reverse zone PTR records as found in Forward DNS zones in internal samba4 DNS implementation.
The forward zone output can be captured with the following command:
samba-tool dns query adserver example.com @ A

The output has the following format:
  Name=, Records=0, Children=0
  Name=host1, Records=1, Children=0
    A: 192.168.0.12 (flags=f0, serial=2, ttl=900)
  Name=host2, Records=1, Children=0
    A: 192.168.0.13 (flags=f0, serial=5, ttl=900)

What is needed is the script to automate creation of reverse zone records.

A: Here is the sample script in python:
import socket
import re
import sys

dns_server = sys.argv[1]
zone_name = sys.argv[2]
dns_file = open(sys.argv[3],'r')
current_hostname = ""
for line in dns_file:
    match_name = re.match( r'^\s*Name=([-0-9A-Za-z]+),',line)
    if match_name:
        current_hostname=match_name.group(1)
    match_addr = re.match( r'^\s*A:\s*(\d+)\.(\d+)\.(\d+)\.(\d+)\s+',line)
    if current_hostname and match_addr:
        current_addr=\
           match_addr.group(1) + "." + \
           match_addr.group(2) + "." + \
           match_addr.group(3) + "." + \
           match_addr.group(4)
        print "samba-tool dns add " + dns_server + " " + \
             match_addr.group(3) + "." + \
             match_addr.group(2) + "." + \
             match_addr.group(1) + ".in-addr.arpa " + \
             match_addr.group(4) + " PTR " + \
             current_hostname + "." + zone_name
dns_file.close()

The script will output a sequence of samba-tool commands that will automate creation of reverse zone records.


A plastic bag sits along a roadside in Sacramento, Calif. Chicago has overturned its partial ban on single-use plastic bags.
Starting Feb. 1, the 7-cent tax will be applied to each paper or plastic bag. The mayor's office estimates the tax will generate about $13 million in revenue in the first year. Retailers will get to keep 2 cents for every bag, while the remaining 5 cents will go into city coffers.
Aldermen approved the new tax in November as part of an ordinance that also repealed the city's year-old ban on plastic bags at large chain stores.
The tax was supposed to start Jan. 1, but the mayor's office announced in a letter to businesses that it would extend the start date by a month.
Tanya Triche, VP and General Counsel for the Illinois Retail Merchants Association, said she heard from concerned business owners who worried they couldn't prepare in time.
The existing ban on plastic bags did not apply to smaller stores. Triche said those retailers will have to pay the city a 7-cent tax on every plastic bag left in their stores at the end of 2016. To do that, businesses need to count every plastic bag in their stores on New Year's Eve. A task, Triche said, that is difficult to complete during the holiday season.
Some bags will be exempt from the tax, including bags for frozen foods; flowers, potted plants or other damp items; packaging for loose, bulk items like fruit or nuts; bags that are sold in packages, like boxes of garbage bags; and take-out bags.

The making of John Wick: Chapter 3
Director Chad Stahelski and new entrant Halle Berry spill the beans on shooting John Wick 3
By The Telegraph
Halle Berry in John Wick: Chapter 3 — Parabellum A still from the film
Chad, what does Sofia bring to the John Wick universe?
Chad Stahelski: I think we get a little John Wick backstory. We have world expansion and we get a kickass female character doing something for the right reasons and showing the depth of the emotionality we can have in our world. So it's not just plugging an actress into an action role. We get a little bit of emotion behind it,
I think. Halle, were you always a fan of John Wick and what was your experience when you first saw it?
Halle Berry: John Wick, I watched it when it came out. I loved it. I love the world. I loved when I saw Keanu doing everything he did. And I mean he's gone 300 times further now. But the first movie, I was just blown away and I thought, 'Wow, we have all this access to CG and we're seeing all these superhero movies. But here it was just a guy who was doing this for real'. And I got really lit up by that. I got more lit up and when I heard they were making a third one, I was like, 'Okay, wait a goddamn minute. Somebody is putting me in this movie. There's no way I'm not going to be in this movie'. So luckily Chad let me do that.
Chad, you wrote Sofia's character only for Halle Berry…
Chad: Absolutely! Well put it this way, the character, the character's name was there before we met Halle Berry and after we met Halle, we rewrote the entire character so the character on screen was written for her nervously. I get nervous writing a character… oh my God.
Halle, what had you heard about Keanu Reeves before getting to work with him?
Halle: What I have heard and what a lot of people heard is that he is the nicest man in the whole wide world.
Chad, how does the franchise continue to attract such a high quality cast and crew?
Chad: It's a complete mystery to me. Actually I have no idea, but I am happy for it. Hopefully, it has something to do with the look that we give it. We try to make action look very pretty. We try to bend the rules of filmmaking a little bit. And we tried to open up the universe. I'd like to think that I offered an environment that is collaborative and creatively open to express a lot of ideas.
Halle, what was it like working with the dogs in this film?
Halle: I loved these dogs… I really did. I spent five months with them, three-four days a week training with them and really getting to understand how they are and how they work. And how we can best work with them. I love animals. I have two dogs and so everything I learned from here, I've been able to parlay that into my real life. Like, I have these killer labradoodles now!
I have all these commands for them now. They really could attack somebody. I mean, I don't know if they're going to go for the b***s, but they could really attack somebody.
What was it like filming in Morocco?
Halle: I thought it was beautiful. It was a nice change far away, far from the world. It was colourful. I could smell it through the screen you know, it's palpable.
How does the John Wick series redefine action films?
Halle: The John Wick series has brought about a revolution in the action genre and it is something different from what we are offered today. It's real-life action and it is beautiful. It's storytelling in a way, which is different for an action movie, and it has got an amazing cast. It has got Keanu Reeves, who I think single-handedly is one of the only guys in this generation that can really get away with it.

Yoga great way to wake up spritually, physically
Aadil Palkhivala is a world-class yoga teacher. Big and bald, with a mighty chest that blows up like a beach ball when he teaches breathing, Aadil is known as "the teacher of teachers." He's a remarkable practitioner who began his formal training at age 7 in India with the legendary B.K.S. Iyengar and today is the founder and director of The College of Purna Yoga in Bellevue, Wash.
Purna means complete, or whole, and Purna Yoga is based on Aadil's deep understanding that to live in true health, we must practice a yoga that cares for all aspects of our being: the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.
In other words, it's not just about the poses. Sure, it's great to master a handstand or perfect a backbend, but the beauty and value of yoga goes much deeper. "Yoga is not about your performance," Aadil reminded us time and time again throughout a weekend workshop he taught recently in Chicago. "Yoga is about the ability to truly explore, discover and fulfill our life's mission. Why are we here? Yoga can help us remember. Yoga is a constant reminder of the vastness of our potential."
Here are a few more highlights from the mind-bending weekend with Aadil. Yes, they are directed to people with a yoga practice, but they also serve all of you who want to live a healthier, happier lifestyle:
Why yoga? Aadil sees yoga as a set of ancient tools that help us connect to our own true nature, leading us to greater health and fulfillment.
"Yoga," he says, " is the benevolent hand of nature slapping us. 'Wake up. Wake up.' "
Living in the the moment. One of the keys to happiness is to live in the moment, a state of vigilant awareness so you aren't worrying about the past or focusing on the future.
"When we are truly in the moment, the brain becomes extremely alert, the heart opens, and the breath becomes smooth and long. When these three things happen," Aadil teaches, " we are in the state called the Now."
It's a splendid place to be, on the yoga mat or off.
Gratitude rules. Gratitude, says Aadil, is how we connect to the almighty intelligence that surrounds us. Gratitude isn't a thought, it's a state of being. When you are in a state of gratitude, you can tap into the energy of the universe, and that will open your heart.
"When we have gratitude," the great and grateful teacher says, "joy follows in its wake, always."
The trap of spending and getting. Too many people see this as the be-all and end-all of life, says Aadhil. Getting and spending. Greed and power. Money and more money. It's a trap, he says. And worse than that, it's a huge waste of our time on this planet.
I wish I had. Aadil told a story that he wishes he could tell over and over again, as he teaches his classes all over the world. It's about a study that was done, interviewing thousands of dying people who only had a week or less to live.
The researchers asked the dying people what one thing they would have done differently in their life. In other words, what do they regret? An amazing 90 percent had the same answer, and the answer not only stunned Aadil, it changed the course of his own life and teaching: "I wish I had loved more."
That's what they said. No one wished to be a better CEO or own a bigger car. They wished they had loved more.
"What matters most, in yoga, and in life, is not whether you can put your leg behind your head or balance on your hands," Aadhil told us, "What matters most is being a loving person."
For more information about Purna Yoga and Aadil Palkhivala, check out his Web site, www.yogacenters.com. For more information on being a loving person, find your path and let me know how it's going.

Hi, all, My group downloads and installs the Openstack Swift of version 1.4 and wants to upgrade it to 1.8. However, we don't want to abandon all the data we have collected during the period. Does anyone can tell me how to upgrade the swift without dropping all the data? Thanks!


What exactly is PEMF technology?
If you are looking for a more natural way of improving your health and lifestyle, no need to spent a lot of time and effort working out in a regular gym because Ascent Adaptation and Regeneration offers a whole new strategy to enhance your body's performance using the most technologically advanced procedures such as the PEMF or also known as the Pulse Electromagnetic Field that accurately tunes the entire body and mind to regain its normal flow. The PEMF approach directly regulates any imbalances that occurred in every system of the body due to various external factors as well as reduces stress by attaining a more calm and focused mind through augmentation of the energy mainly needed by the body. In this way, you can prevent any severe ailment to advance or develop in your body.
Ascend is one of the pioneering institutions that established this system serving as one of the leading recovery centers as well as sport's enhancement providers. Our company aims at ensuring an easier way of physical conditioning and body training using a more advanced system that saves you time, effort, and budget. We offer various methodologies that cater to the holistic welfare of our clients as they themselves take control and become aware of their own health and lifestyle. Thus, our offered services can fully boost both your mind and body to easily and consistently adapt and gain solid strength needed for any type of physical activities. Because of this, each of our clients can accurately attain fitness that they want or require for their individual activities.
Aside from boosting stamina and strength, PEMF, performed through a technology-based system, it also advances metabolism that slows down the aging process of an individual. Using this procedure can also enhance cell regeneration due to the activation of ATP that primarily improves cellular activities. Along with these benefits is the balancing and increase of balance circulation as well as advancing of oxygen level. In terms of tension and body pain, PEMF process actually helps to decrease any form of swelling that may occur such as muscle inflammation. This is because the increase of oxygen in the body can directly help in relieving body tissues and cells.
For patients suffering from sleep deficiency, the use of PEMF can actually aid in boosting either Alpha or beta types of Theta waves as the primary tool in stimulating sleep. The light and sound waves produced during the procedure serve as a stimulus to the brain to regulate sleep and relaxation. The increase in the brain's activation directly influences the physical capacity of the body to perform physical activities. In this way, you also gain higher energy levels to avoid fatigue, easy tiredness, and exhaustion.
This is a great way to support many sports enthusiasts and athletes to advance their performance. Hence, you can check the detailed specifications through the Ascent Adaptation and Regeneration at www.acentadaptation.com in which you can also review specific benefits that are suitable for your requirements and needs. We have an array of services that you can choose from. If you are still undecided what service to choose, you can consult your concern to us by reaching us at 949 474 4404.

THE JEWISH STATE AND A PALESTINIAN STATE: MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE OR INCLUSIVE?
Ma'ariv - By Yoram Ettinger
The 5th Full Page Ad - in a series of 25 biweekly full page Ads - exposing the Demographic Scare Disinformation.
The Ads, which are published in Ma'ariv daily, are posted (English and Hebrew) at www.acpr.org.il/hatikvah/index.htm.
The GOAL of the Ads is to provide the public essential FACTS, which are critical for the formulation of a (US and Israel) stance on the issue: The Jewish State and a Palestinian State - Mutually exclusive or inclusive?
The facts are NON-POLITICAL, but rather geographic, topographic, military, historical and demographic in nature. As it is in any EDUCATIONAL INITIATIVE, the Ads are not intended to yield quick gratification, but rather be part of a LONG TERM and a SYSTEMATIC educational effort.
THE JEWISH STATE AND A PALESTINIAN STATE:
MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE OR INCLUSIVE?
AN AMERICAN PERSPECTIVE
PRESIDENT BUSH (April 2001): "At the narrowest point, it's only 8 miles from the Mediterranean to the old Armistice line; That's less than from the top to the bottom of DFW Airport. The whole of pre-1967 Israel is only 6 times the size of the King Ranch."
DEFENSE SECRETARY RUMSFELD (Aug. 6, 2002): "A country that's a sliver...and you can see 3 sides of it from a high hotel... you've got to be careful what you give away and to whom you give it."
AMERICAN GENERALS ON THE WEST BANK
Lt. General (ret.) Tom Kelly: "I cannot defend this land (Israel) without that terrain (West Bank)...The West Bank mountains, and especially their 5 approaches, are the critical terrain. If an enemy secures those passes, Jerusalem and Israel become uncovered. Without the West Bank, Israel is only 8 miles wide at its narrowest point. That makes it indefensible."
The late Admiral Bud Nance: "No logical reason for Israel to give up one inch of the disputed areas. Quite to the contrary, I believe if Israel were to move out of the Golan Heights, the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, it would increase instability and the possibility of war, increase the necessity for Israel to preempt in war and the possibility that nuclear weapons would be used to prevent an Israeli loss, and increase the possibility that the US would have to become involved in a war."
The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Earl Wheeler: The minimum required for Israel's defense includes most of the West Bank and the whole of Gaza and the Golan Heights (a secret document submitted to the Secretary of Defense on June 29, 1967). Wheeler realized that in the Mideast peace is based on deterrence.
THE CENTRALITY OF GROUND FORCES AND BARRIERS
The Land Warfare Papers (US Army, Oct. 2003): "During the Afghan campaign of 2002, precision air strikes were critical, but they neither annihilated nor finished the enemy...Only ground units can both destroy and occupy."
THE IMPACT OF A PALESTINIAN STATE ON AMERICAN INTERESTS
Based on PLO's track record since 1964 and PA's since 1993, a Palestinian State would...
Deal a death blow to Jordan's Hashemite regime.
Be a natural ally to rogue regimes (Iran, No. Korea, etc.).
Expand the largest terrorist base ever, established by the PA.
Advance Russia and Chinese interests at the expense of the US.
Intensify corruption and repression of Christians in Bethlehem, Ramallah,
A PALESTINIAN STATE WOULD UNDERMINE US-ISRAEL STRATEGIC TIES
The 1967 War transformed Israel from a belligerence-inciting liability to a belligerence-deterring asset. A withdrawal to the 1967 Lines would demote Israel's strategic status.
Forcing Syrian withdrawal from Jordan (1970), elevated Israel's strategic role. It was made possible by Israel's control of the mountain ridges of Judea & Samaria.
The bombing of Iraq's nuclear reactor (1981), upgraded Israel's strategic stature. Arab control of Judea&Samaria would have exposed each takeoff by Israel's air force, and would've foiled the operation.

Atiku Abubakar, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate has been accused of contributing to the collapse of former Bank PHB by the federal government.
The FG further vowed to grill him when he is back from the US.
This was made known today by Lai Mohammed, minister of information while briefing state house correspondents, claiming that there are evidences that Atiku benefited from slush funds that led to the collapse of Bank PHB.
Mohammed said the government has in its possession paper trail which linked the presidential candidate to one Claremont Management Services account through which N156 million was credited to him in 2009, a development that culminated in the "grounding of the bank".
"It started from an internal memo dated 13 January 2009 asking that a draft in favour of Atiku Abubakar of N156 million should be raised," he said.
Mohammed further said "another memo on the same date was raised to confirm that the amount was raised from a "claimant management account".
Lai Mohammed however pointed out that it doesn't mean Atiku will be arrested upon return to Nigeria.

Want young looking skin but hate the thought of surgery or injections?
Collagen Induction Therapy. WHAT IS IT?
This is also known as 'skin needling' , ' derma rolling' or 'micro needling'. Using a roller with needles to stimulate the body's own production of collagen makes this a natural and ideal anti- aging treatment.
In addition the transdermal absorption is improved thus enhancing the skin's ability to absorb products. The serums provided can penetrate more easily and begin the work of aiding recovery.
Studies have shown that a single treatment can increase absorption levels of products by up to 10,000 times.
All products are 100% natural and have been approved by the Vegan Society and the Soil Association.
The key active ingredient used is Organic Green Tea Oil, which is scientifically proven to regenerate skin cells, repair UV damage, reduce acne and increase wound and scar repair.
A course of 6 treatments is recommended with repeat courses suggested every 5 - 7 years making it a less invasive, safer, painless and cheaper alternative to Botox.

September 22, 2014	Pat Wurst	Resources	Comments Off on Bridgestone Americas, Inc. v. Int. Bus. Machs. Corp., Midstream Switch to Predictive Coding Approved
Bridgestone Americas, Inc. v. Int. Bus. Machs. Corp., Midstream Switch to Predictive Coding Approved
In this case, Bridgestone Americas sued defendant IBM for more than $600 million in actual and punitive damages over a companywide computer system that allegedly had a devastating effect on Bridgestone's business operations, throwing them into "chaos." After the initial review of over 2 million pages was begun using search terms, Bridgestone Americas sought a modification to the case management order to permit the use of predictive coding. Defendants opposed the new approach as an unwarranted change to the case management order given the fact that the initial screening was done with search terms. In his order, the magistrate judge noted that "in the final analysis" using predictive coding is a "judgment call" which hopefully keeps in mind the Rule 26 requirement that discovery be "tailored by the court to be as efficient and cost-effective as possible." The judge noted that as this case involves the review of millions of documents with the cost in the millions, there is "no single, simple, correct solution possible." In allowing the plaintiff to use predictive coding on documents that have been identified based upon search terms, the judge acknowledged he was allowing plaintiff to "switch horses in midstream." The court noted that while predictive coding was not one of IBM's products, they are "a sophisticated user of advanced methods for integrating and reviewing large amounts of data." The court emphasized that given the change in approach, "openness" and "transparency" would be of "critical importance" and that the parties' attorneys and experts should "communicate on a frequent and open basis." Noting that he was most concerned that the case not get tied up in "unnecessary wrangling," the judge directed the parties to not delay in scheduling time with him in the event they reach a sticking point.

D-Link has released the 1.34b03 Beta firmware for the DIR-655 router.
The first fix was available in the previous firmware 1.34b02, I have found it stops connections that people have noticed the router give to the Bsecure servers when SecureSpot is not running. The second fix addresses a bug that appeared in that firmware causing the statistics page to report ridiculously high stats.
Using this firmware is at your own risk and will most likely void your warranty if something goes wrong.
PS: you could add to tag linux too, since i mostly use linux to configure/update the router and have had no issues arrising from this fact.
Thanks Toto, I've added Linux to the tags so people should be able to find the page if they do a search.
Is this version also suitable for an A4, 1.31EU – version?
I believe it should support the A4 version, however there is a newer version out, 1.35, which you can get at ftp://ftp.dlink.com/Gateway/dir655/Firmware/dir655_FW_135NA.zip.
However as you are running EU firmware you may want to hold off upgrading to the US firmware as different countries have different wireless requirements and channels available, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_WLAN_channels for example shows that the US does not have channels 12 and 13.
Keeping that in mind you may not be able to downgrade back to the EU firmware, however https://www.techgremlin.com/2010/01/31/downgrade-d-link-dir-655-1-3x-firmware/ was and may still be one method of downgrading.


Mumbai: The MRVC (Mumbai Railway Vikas Corp.) is exploring the possibility of getting suburban locals on lease, instead of buying them, under the third phase of Mumbai Urban Transport Project (MUTP-III). The move is aimed at reducing capital investment & easing the process of repayments.
Mumbai railway infrastructure's planning & execution body has decided to appoint a consultant to study how feasible the idea is and discuss the operational, financial & regulatory aspects involved.
Leasing rolling stock — any vehicles that move on a railway — could save a lot of initial capital investment & the earnings from the initiative would help them make payments, he added.
The Indian Railways (IR) has taken rolling stock on lease from the Indian Railway Finance Corporation.
The state government & Indian Railways have undertaken the MUTP-III to improve suburban connectivity in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region.
The estimated cost of the project is Rs 10,950 crore (approx US$ 1684.6 Million), of which suburban locals are expected to cost Rs 3,491 crore (approx US$ 537 Million).
MRVC planned to get 47 air-conditioned 12-coach locals as part of this project.
Under MUTP-I & MUTP-II, the MRVC bought non-air-conditioned locals from the ICF Chennai, fitted with electric systems from Siemens & Bombardier.

What can you do with hundreds and hundreds of M&sM's? Family math!
My family's lineup of summer hands-on science, technology, engineering, and math projects and activities included almost enough M&M's to bring Charlie and the Chocolate Factory to mind. Maybe not quite that many, but summer was busy, and when I added three bags of M&M's to the list with this project in mind, I had in my head that we needed big bags of M&M's. When we sat down later with three kids, each with a family-sized bag of M&M's, and called up the family-ready activity version of the full Science Buddies M&M Math Project Idea, I realized we really could have used much smaller bags.
Undeterred (they are M&M's, after all, and not likely to go to waste!), we moved ahead. The activity calls for counting the M&M's in (at least) three different bags. This lets students analyze what is in a single bag and then compare those numbers to statistical data derived from combining and averaging the results of three or more bags.
I had three kids at the ready, so my plan was to have each tackle sorting, counting, and tallying a single giant bag. This way they each got to be hands-on, do their own math, get the results for their own bag, and then we would compile the data to get overall statistical information and see how each bag held up to the numbers.
The question in the project is pretty straightforward: which color M&M is most (or least) common in a bag of M&M's? I remember when I was a kid, and it seemed that the green M&M's were always rare. So before we started, I polled the kids. Two of them predicted a color they thought would be most common. One of them leaned toward thinking the colors would be equally dispersed, reasoning that a factory machine probably spits them out in relatively equal numbers.
Then we got to counting. There are many ways a student might approach this part of the project. One strategy that worked well at our table was to dump an entire bag of M&M's on a plate, and then sort them by color into piles on a large napkin. After the bag was sorted by color, the student started counting the M&M's of a single color and dropping them back onto the plate. All M&M's on the plate had been counted, and the piles remaining on the napkin were still to be counted. It was an easy way to keep track of the counting and the piles.
There was a lot of counting going on!
But it was immediately interesting to hear that the totals around the table were differing, sometimes dramatically, for each kid.
When they finished, they each did their tallying, finding out the total number of M&M's and the percentage of each color they had in their bag. Then we made a new chart, copied in all of the individual totals, and combined and averaged to get composite data.
The results were surprising, and not all of our bags held up to what the data told us should be true, which was interesting in terms of realizing that all bags are not created equal!
When finished, one kid made a pyramid of M&M's, which of course crashed and caused a great uproar from the disgruntled engineer. Another made a pie chart of the M&M's on the napkin, a work of art that was then, of course, unceremoniously dumped into a baggie during cleanup. The third bag of M&M's was put to very good use making Monster Cookies. It seemed to me to be a perfectly sweet way to end our hands-on science project and reward all that counting!
What did your science project or family science activity look like? If you would like to share photos taking during your project (photos like the ones above or photos you may have put on your Project Display Board), we would love to see! Send it in, and we might showcase your science or engineering investigation here on the Science Buddies blog, in the newsletter, or at Facebook and Google+! Email us at blog@sciencebuddies.org.

IIT Bombay was established in the year 1957 and the department of Electrical Engineering (EE) has been one of the major departments from the inception of this institute. The department began with fifty undergraduate students, and forty postgraduate students; currently, the department has sixty faculty members, five hundred undergraduate students, and five hundred fifty postgraduate students. Initially the department began with three programs to award degrees, namely Bachelor of Technology, Master of Technology, and Doctor of Philosophy. Since 1996, the department also offers a five year dual degree (Bachelor of Technology and Master of Technology) in the specializations named Communications and Signal Processing and Microelectronics.
Department Specializations and their Evolution
Initially there were three main specializations in the department, namely, Electronics, Electro-Vacuum Technology, and Machines. With the developments in Electrical Engineering, by 1964, Electronics and Machines evolved into three specializations, namely, Power Systems and Drives, Communication Engineering, and Control and Instrumentation. On the other hand, Electro-Vacuum Technology became Electron Devices and Technology. At present there are five specializations in the Electrical Engineering department, namely, Communications and Signal Processing, Control and Computing, Power Electronics and Power Systems, Microelectronics, and Electronic Systems.
Research and Laboratories
The facilities in the department are among the best in India, and in some specialized areas compete with leading international universities. In many important areas of Electrical Engineering, we have faculty members who are active from a research point of view. There is strong collaboration with industry in the past two decades and a number of laboratories have been established through such collaboration. Research collaborators also include several national and international universities, and research organizations.
Teaching has been given its due importance since the inception of the department. Many faculty members are active in research areas related to the subjects that they teach. Students are also supported by a departmental academic mentorship program. For students to develop into skilled researchers they must enjoy the work that they do and that the atmosphere must be conducive; therefore, a number of faculty members are available for counseling to the students.

    RadioButton radioButton = new RadioButton(null);
    return radioButton;
}

And i have this assignment statement:
radioButton = createARadioButton();

Which gives me a NullPointerExeption.
Now how do i write a static method that will create a RadioButton that will perform good?
What am i doing wrong in here?

A: You can't pass in a null Context argument for RadioButton. At the least you need something like this:
public static RadioButton createARadioButton(Context context)
{
    RadioButton radioButton = new RadioButton(context);
    return radioButton;
}

Q: Check normal group in five examples. Let $ G $ be a group and $ H $ subgroup of $ G $. Is $ H $ normal?
$$ 1) \ G = (\mathbb{R}^4, +), \ H = \{(x,y,z,t) \in \mathbb{R}^4 : x + 2y + 3z + 4t = 0 \}$$
$$ 2) \ G = S_4, \ H \ generated \ by \ cycle  \ (1,2,3)$$
$$ 3) \ G = S_4, \ H \ generated \ by \ cycle  \ (1,2,3,4)$$
$$ 4) \ G = S_5 \times S_5, \ H = S_5 \times {id} $$
$$ 5) \ G = S_{10} \times S_{10} \times S_{10}, \ H = S_{10} \times {id} \times S_{10}$$
Exists some quick method to check this? I must check condition $ \forall g \in G \ gHg^{-1} = H $ or $ gH = Hg $ but I have problem with these examples. For first example I wrote: $(a,b,c,d)H(a,b,c,d)^{-1} = \{a \cdot x \cdot a^{-1}, b \cdot y \cdot b^{-1}, c \cdot z \cdot c^{-1}, d \cdot t \cdot d^{-1}) \in \mathbb{R}^4$ it's enough?

A: I can just give you a simple way. You'd better reflect about Don's again and again. We know that:
$$S_4=\{id, (3,4), (2,3), (2,3,4), (2,4,3), (2,4), (1,2), (1,2)(3,4), (1,2,3),
  (1,2,3,4), (1,2,4,3), (1,2,4), (1,3,2), (1,3,4,2), (1,3), (1,3,4),
  (1,3)(2,4), (1,3,2,4), (1,4,3,2), (1,4,2), (1,4,3), (1,4), (1,4,2,3),
  (1,4)(2,3)\}$$ and $$H=\langle (1,2,3)\rangle=\{id, (1,2,3), (1,3,2)\}$$ Also, you may know that if $\sigma\in S_4$ and $(k_1,k_2,...,k_3)\in S_4$ then $$\sigma^{-1}(k_1,k_2,...,k_r)\sigma=(k_1\sigma,k_2\sigma,...,k_r\sigma)$$ Now, lets try the cycles in which for example $4$ is contained in $(k_1\sigma,k_2\sigma,...,k_r\sigma)$'s for $(k_1,k_2,...,k_r)\in H$ and some $\sigma\in S_4$. This is just a feeling to get a contradiction. Of course, we are walking on the way of showing the normality. Now, take $$\sigma=(3,4)\to \sigma^{-1}=(3,4)$$ and $$\sigma^{-1}(1,2,3)\sigma=(1,2,4)\notin H$$

What Policy Makers and Opinion Formers Should Know
There are moral, political, and economic propositions that are fundamental, yet remain misunderstood or unknown.
Fred Foldvary, Ph.D.
#Foldvary's archive
#ethics
#freemarket
Begin a talk by telling your public what the story is about. There are moral, political, and economic propositions that are fundamental, yet remain misunderstood or unknown. Those interested in the logic and evidence can search for fuller explanations; here the aim is to lay them out very briefly, because you are busy personae.
There is an objective morality, a universal ethic by which acts that coercively harm others are evil, acts that are welcomed benefits are morally good, and all other acts are neutral. Each person is properly an equal self-owner, and equality requires an equal benefit from the natural bounty, which in the economy becomes measured as land rent.
Acts which are unwelcome are divided into offenses and harms. If an act is disagreeable merely from the beliefs and values of the person affected, the act, while personally bad to the recipient, is morally neutral by the universal ethic, otherwise there is no freedom. Thus only evil acts, those which coercively harm others, should be prohibited and penalized by government.
It is evil to impose religion by force, beyond what is mandated by the universal ethic, and if you think your religion requires this, then you make yourself a god, but you misunderstand, because man is not god.
Pollution is trespass and invasion into the property of others, and requires restitution for the damage. The most effective policy for pollution and congestion is a direct charge on these, compensating for the effect, rather than restrictions that do not let people respond according to their costs and benefits.
Taxes on income, goods, production, consumption, trade, and value added all impose the waste of not letting resources go to where they are most wanted, and reducing the growth that lifts folks out of poverty. The most efficient and equitable sources of public revenue are land rent, pollution charges, and voluntary user fees. There is no need to make workers poorer by taxing their wages and spending.
We can help resolve territorial ethnic conflicts as in Israel and Palestine and in Kashmir with joint sovereignty in disputed areas and by making those who occupy disputed land pay rent to compensate excluding others.
Politics becomes dirty because a mass of voters elects strangers, and the candidates require money to make themselves known, although they can never be really known to the masses. This can be remedied by voting only in small groups, starting with a neighborhood of about a thousand persons. Neighborhood councils then elect higher level councils in a bottom-up multi-level voting system all the way to the top.
Unemployment is caused by restrictions and imposed costs that prevent workers from accessing resources to produce and trade. The natural economy of humanity is universal prosperity, because natural resources are still abundant, and technology multiplies our power to create. But our economies are instead kleptocracies, the rule by thieves. Stop taking the bread produced by the worker, and he will engage his time to make bread until the value of an extra loaf equals the value of extra leisure.
The natural rate of interest adjusts savings to investment, and the natural price level adjusts income to spending. Governmental control of money does not let these do their jobs, and creates distortions resulting in inflation and depressions. Free-market money and banking provides a stable yet flexible money supply and a rate of interest based on preferences rather than manipulations. The best economic stimulus is economic freedom.
Many children are unschooled, and too many are schooled but not educated. Let parents and students choose the best educations with vouchers good for private and governmental schools. So long as there are poor folks, there is no need for government to take over basic services, since vouchers can enable the poor to use them.
Children have a right to be fed, educated, and cared about, but adults should not be treated like children. There is no adult moral right to food, medical services, housing, and retirement pensions. There is only the right to apply your labor, keep what you earn, and obtain an equal share of nature. Government denies the natural rights, and then compensates for the resulting poverty by making folks dependent on legal entitlements that eventually bankrupt the economy.
I lay it all out because I get irritated by poorly formed policies and opinions, and I want to be able to point here and say, this is what I think you should know. But I expect no miracles.

FRED E. FOLDVARY, Ph.D., (May 11, 1946 — June 5, 2021) was an economist who wrote weekly editorials for Progress.org since 1997. Foldvary's commentaries are well respected for their currency, sound logic, wit, and consistent devotion to human freedom. He received his B.A. in economics from the University of California at Berkeley, and his M.A. and Ph.D. in economics from George Mason University. He taught economics at Virginia Tech, John F. Kennedy University, Santa Clara University, and San Jose State University.
Foldvary is the author of The Soul of Liberty, Public Goods and Private Communities, and Dictionary of Free Market Economics. He edited and contributed to Beyond Neoclassical Economics and, with Dan Klein, The Half-Life of Policy Rationales. Foldvary's areas of research included public finance, governance, ethical philosophy, and land economics.
Foldvary is notably known for going on record in the American Journal of Economics and Sociology in 1997 to predict the exact timing of the 2008 economic depression—eleven years before the event occurred. He was able to do so due to his extensive knowledge of the real-estate cycle.


Happy 4th of July! We've celebrated our independence chasing Jacks, Tarpon and the sand bar! I've been fortunate to have clients boat some Jacks in the 30lb range, unfortunately the Tarpon has eluded us so far this year. We are seeing plenty so it's just a matter of time before we get one to bite. Redfishing is pretty good right now and surprisingly we've had some pretty good trout bites lately, they usually slow down for us this time of year. If big fish are your thing, now is the time to come get one!

AFRICOM: Professionalism Key to Congo Medical Exercise
American Forces Press Service - September 17, 2010
U.S. Army Maj. Angie Allmer assists a Congo resident to the medical waiting area in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Sept. 14, 2010. Allmer is part of a joint medical effort with U.S. military medical personnel and Congo armed forces providing humanitarian assitance to local people. Allmer is a nurse is assigned to the North Dakota National Guard's state medical detachment in Bismarck. U.S. Army photo by Sgt. James D. Sims
Humanitarian assistance -- especially medical and dental care -- is in high demand in Africa. And, that's a big part of the reason the U.S. military is involved on the continent, the commander of U.S. Army Africa said yesterday.
During a Sept. 15 "DoD Live" bloggers roundtable, Army Maj. Gen. David R. Hogg discussed Medflag 10, an ongoing humanitarian assistance exercise in the Democratic Republic of the Congo's capital of Kinshasa.
The exercise helps to improve the readiness of both countries' medical personnel and includes classroom instruction, a mass casualty exercise and civic assistance activities in specific areas in Kinshasa, Hogg said.
"Throughout this exercise we've worked on some pretty basic achievements," he said. "Soldiers on both sides received classes on triage, emergency treatment [and] evacuation techniques, and later on we conducted a medical humanitarian mission, where we treated over 1,700 people from the Kinshasa community on the medical and dental sides."
The Congolese emergency responders, called UMIR, also rescued a number of injured passengers after a bus accident. There were about 300 total participants in the exercise, Hogg said, 100 of them U.S. military personnel.
The joint venture came about at the request of the Congolese government, by way of the State Department. Medflag began in 1988 and has taken U.S. military units across the continent to assist and partner with different nations' medical teams.
"We're working hand-in-hand with the Congolese military to professionalize their force. It comes down to leader development, when you get down to it," Hogg said.
There also is a humanitarian aspect to each Medflag mission that not only provides care to local residents, but also helps to give those residents confidence that their government's military is there to help them.
Hogg said it's too soon to say whether measures need to be taken as a result of Medflag, but he said one lesson he learned is not to underestimate any unit's capabilities.
"The medical units we worked with here knew their business. They were professionals," he said. "They have a system to support their soldiers when they're in the jungle fighting. They have a system to support their civilian forces.
"When you get down to it," the general continued, "professionalization of a force does, in fact, make a difference. These exercises have an effect on how these groups will continue their operations."

Allegheny County Residents Demand Action on Air Pollution
Toxic Slime, Algae Make Some Florida Beaches a "Ghost Town"

SEWELL'S POINT, Fla. – The thousands of Floridians and tourists planning to enjoy the last of summer on this Labor Day weekend will find toxic algae and slime, particularly on waterways and beaches along the southwest and southeast coasts of the state.
It's a constant problem, according to local leaders and environmentalists – made worse by heavy rains this summer.
Jacqui Thurlow-Lippisch, a city commissioner for Sewell's Point, says the murky, toxic water is driving people away.
"It is like a ghost town, and you're lucky if you see two or three boats," she laments. "And I mean normally in the course of a summer you would have hundreds of boats throughout the course of the day."
This Sunday citizens will rally on Jensen Beach where dead manatees, dolphins and pelicans are washing up on the sand.
Environmental groups say it's because of the algae and slime. A large contributor to the problem, according to the Earthjustice and other organizations is the agricultural waste dumped into public canals in central and south Florida.
Earthjustice attorney David Guest says the government needs to step up.
"The government knows how to stop this problem by simply telling the agricultural industry, 'You can't use our canals unless the pollution is below a specific limit,'" he says.
Guest adds limiting the amount of phosphorous and nitrogen waste from manure and fertilizer would have an immediate impact on the levels of algae and slime and would not cost any public dollars.
Sanibel Island City Councilman Mick Denham says while the algae and slime create health and environmental concerns, it's the impact on the economy that he is most concerned about.
"It's an economic issue, affecting jobs, affecting property values," he explains. "This is critical to us. If we lose the tourism industry, then a lot of jobs are lost in this area."
According to state officials, tourism has an economic impact of $67 billion a year, employing more than a million people.

Doggies make everything better. Love my grand pups. This was yesterday and how I blew off steam. They kept me from going over the edge.
We passed a few wildflowers on our route. I could've eaten Dairy Queen 👑 at midnight or an entire package of Oreos. Healthy choices shouldn't have to be hard.
I imagined the doggies saying "ohboyohoyohboyohboyohboy, we're goin' for a walk" during the video.
😂 they were so happy. Kibbles and Bits commercial just popped into my head.

Paul Kos has been an artist and teacher for 35 years. He responds to simple, humble materials and the indigenous elements of specific sites, which he mines for their physical properties and metaphoric possibilities. Everything Matters, a traveling retrospective of his work, was organized by the University of California Berkeley Art Museum in 2003. Kos's installations and videos have also been shown at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; New Langton Arts, San Francisco; Capp Street Project, San Francisco; Leo Castelli Gallery, New York; M.H. de Young Museum, San Francisco; Walker Art Center, Minneapolis; and Gallery Paule Anglim, San Francisco.
The Spanish "aqui, aca, alli, alla", meaning "right here, here, there, over there," describes his work. Here, there, everywhere. Rather than having a signature or trademark, his work is linked conceptually. The concepts are often generated by life style events. For example, in jest, the author of a survival book on fire making said, as a last resort, if no matches, use a magnifying lens, if no lens, make one out of ice. So, Paul Kos did!
When Super Bowl Sunday's halftime commercials started influencing his video students with their 1,000 edits a minute pace, Kos stacked 27 video monitors, 9 high and 3 wide, to comprise a contemplative, architectural, 27 channel, stained glass window, CHARTRES BLEU, with no edits and time slowed down.
Kos opts for, but never expects, partly cloudy becoming mostly sunny.

Breaking down the differences: Official and unofficial gowns
Arts and Culture Editor Olivia Hendren discusses the similarities and differences between the official University gown and the unofficial Churchill gown, including the collar, material, price, and appearance in photos.
Olivia Hendren
Photo: Kylie Andrews
It is important to begin this comparison by recognising that there is are several clear differences between the Churchill gown and the University gown.
To begin with, the fabrics are different materials, which is noticeable up close and upon touch. The Churchill gown is made from a red fleece while the University gown is made from wool.
Additionally, because of the difference in material, the Churchill gowns feel softer and more like a blanket material than the official University gown.
However, the colours are the same and thus the material difference is not noticeable from a distance or in photos.
The main difference between the fleece and wool gowns is the weight and how that affects the fabric drapery. The weight of the University gown makes the garment drape in a more flattering way, possibly even making the person wearing the gown appear slimmer.
Meanwhile, the Churchill gown shows creases and wrinkles clearly, if it has been folded for a long period of time. However, these would not be difficult to remove with an iron or steamer.
The other difference between gowns is in the collar. The Churchill gown collar feels more structured and stays in place with more ease, and the colour of the Churchill gown collar is also a richer burgundy.
From a distance, these differences are not very noticeable, but up close, it is easy to tell which gown is more expensive and made from higher-quality materials.
In terms of functionality, both gowns have the same external appearance from a distance and have the same-sized inner pockets.
Ultimately, it is down to the consumer to decide whether or not these differences are worth the extra price, and whether it matters to them that, up close, these gowns are noticeably different.
I would liken this to owning a pair of mock Gucci loafers, though this analogy can apply to any counterfeit item.
As a consumer, I know that the shoes I am buying that have been made to look similar to Gucci loafers might not be as high-quality or come with the name brand recognition as the actual pair.
However, just because I cannot afford or do not want to pay the extra price for the designer item, that does not mean that I should not be able to participate in the fashion trend.
This also applies to the St Andrews student body as well in terms of the importance in a singular item versus the cost.
The red gowns are an important tradition at the University, and the gown itself can be a wardrobe piece which holds significant memory years after graduating.
However, students should not have to miss out on opportunities such as pier walks, formal dinners, and University traditions because they cannot afford an official University gown.
While in photos there may not be significant difference in the two gowns, the gowns are by far the most distinct in price, with the Churchill gowns costing almost half as much as the official University gown.
My advice to students that may be choosing between the gowns would be to educate themselves on the differences between the two before making the decision of whether or not the price is justifiable for their budget.
Some students may value the brand label on their gown and wish to own an official one, or they may care about the difference in material and how the gowns differ when up close.
However, these simply are not preferences shared by the entire student body, and students should thus take into consideration what they value in a gown and which would better suit their needs and preferences.

The other really important difference is that the Churchill gown is a sustainable product made from recycled plastic bottles – 28 per gown I think. Think of the effect on the planet AND your pocket,


Can we enable trigger on T000 table ?
Trigger means email alert whenever the entry changes or something else ?
But as per your solution we tried everything that can be done to prevent access to SCC4 for all users except Basis Team members. Still a kind of incident happened that client got deleted from production.
Here we can't prevent access to SE16, SM30 like transactions to selected users and neither we can enable logging due to space problems.
Just wanted to confirm about that can we enable trigger on any table in SAP standard.
Thanks for your support I got the answer in previous post that we can enable trigger on any table.

Auto News Nissan Reveals the Standard Titan Half-Ton
Hyundai Rolls Out Facelifted 2017 Santa...	Mercedes Sprinter Adds New Barebones...
Nissan Reveals the Standard Titan Half-Ton
By Stephen Elmer Feb 11, 2016
Nissan has finally taken the wraps off its new Titan half-ton.
The brand revealed the Titan XD, a heavy-duty version of the truck last year and now it has chosen the Chicago Auto Show to pull the sheet from the standard-sized truck. Based on its GVWR, the XD is a three-quarter ton truck, while the standard Titan will be a direct competitor with the Ford F-150 and Chevy Silverado half tons.
The Titan's chassis is 228.1-inches long, about 11.8-inches shorter than the XD, though the trucks have the same width at 79.5 inches. Larger brakes and thicker axles on the XD mark the other two major differences between the two versions of the truck.
Chicago Auto Show Coverage
A 5.6-liter V8 with 390 horsepower and 401 lb-ft of torque will be available with the non-XD Titan, linked to a seven-speed automatic. A V6 engine option will be announced later. Buyers looking for the 5.0-liter Cummins diesel will have to spring for the Titan XD, which can also be equipped with the gas-burning V8.
SEE ALSO: 2016 Nissan Titan XD Wins AutoGuide.com Truck of the Year Award
Nissan has expanded the Titan's range of combinations as well, now offering crew cab, king cab and single cab configurations along with 5.5-, 6.5- and 8-foot boxes. Crew cab versions of the Titan measure in with a 139.8-inch wheelbase and a height of 77.2-inches.
Nissan's assembly plant in Canton, Mississippi will build the Titan half-ton, which goes on sale in the summer of 2016.

FDA Approves First Generic Version Of The EpiPen. Here's Why That Matters.
Anaphylaxis occurs in approximately one in 50 Americans
On August 16, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced that it has approved the first generic version of the EpiPen and EpiPen Jr., a smaller dose for kids. The generic version is made by Teva Pharmaceuticals USA and the company has been given approval to market its epinephrine auto-injector in 0.15 mg and 0.3 mg strengths.
The news is important to those who have life-threatening allergies because it makes affordable auto-injectors more accessible.
It's a key development at a time when there's an ongoing EpiPen shortage that's leaving many parents concerned for the upcoming school year. Fortune reports that the shortage has been caused by high demand coupled with manufacturing and supply chain issues. In fact, EpiPens were added to the FDA's drug shortage list in May, according to CNN.
Another issue is the rising price of the EpiPen. The New York Times reports that Mylan, the company who produces the EpiPen auto-injector, has raised the price of it sixfold since they purchased it in 2007. Before, a set of two injections would cost under $100. Now, they cost $600.
The FDA hopes that the approval of Teva Pharmaceuticals USA's auto-injector will be a positive change. "This approval means patients living with severe allergies who require constant access to life-saving epinephrine should have a lower-cost option, as well as another approved product to help protect against potential drug shortages," reported FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb, M.D. in a press release.
The FDA points out that anaphylaxis occurs in approximately one in 50 Americans so having affordable auto-injectors at hand is critical.
