Photo Release -- Superior Grocers Wins 2011 Ben Schwartz Retail Grocery Visionary Award
June 15, 2011, 9:17 PM UTC / Source: GlobeNewswire
LOS ANGELES, June 15, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Superior Grocers, a chain of 36 supermarkets in the Los Angeles metropolitan area, was selected the recipient of the 2011 "Ben Schwartz Retail Grocery Visionary Award" by Unified Grocers on June 7, 2011 at the Hyatt Regency Hotel, Long Beach, Calif.
A photo accompanying this release is available at
The "Ben Schwartz Retail Grocery Visionary Award," named after a former chairman of the Board at Unified Grocers, is an honor given annually to an independent retail grocer or grocery company that is a leader and innovator in the retail grocery industry. The award recognizes retailers who, through their practice and example, have consistently demonstrated initiative, creativity and leadership within their businesses and, in the process, have inspired others to think and act creatively and with passion in the grocery field. To be eligible, retailers must be — or must have been — a member of Unified Grocers or one of its predecessor companies.
In presenting the award, Al Plamann, chief executive officer, Unified Grocers, pointed out that Superior is a little different than the previous six Ben Schwartz award recipients. "Superior does not trace its roots back to the 1930s, the '50s or even the '70s. Superior opened its first store in Los Angeles in 1981 and has been growing steadily ever since," Plamann said. "Such tremendous growth in a relatively short period of time is a remarkable achievement — and it is one of the reasons why they are the recipient of this year's Ben Schwartz Award."
Another reason why Superior was presented with the Award, Plamann said, is because of their dedication and commitment to providing their customers with one of the best value propositions in the industry – and holding true to it for more than 30 years. "When you walk into a Superior store today, you find the exact same focus on quality, value and service that customers found when they entered the store three decades ago. It's this type of commitment that creates great retail organizations." Plamann also lauded Superior for their extensive contributions and other efforts to "give back" to the communities in which Superior operates stores.
In accepting the 2011 Ben Schwartz Award, Mimi Song, president and chief executive officer, Superior Grocers credited her management team and all of the company's employees for making Superior a truly great company. "I never give them enough credit, however, I want to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of them for their dedication and support,"
said Song.
In addition to the award that was presented to Superior Grocers, a duplicate of the "Ben Schwartz Retail Grocer Visionary Award" is on permanent display in the lobby of Unified's headquarters building in Commerce, Calif. A plaque recognizing Superior Grocers as the 2011 winner has been added to the permanent award.

As urban populations grow and the demand for local food rises, agricultural innovators see opportunity atop the roofs of city buildings. Much of this space is devoted to outdoor gardens, but rooftop greenhouses are also sprouting up in cities with cold climates.
Some are large structures used for commercial purposes, some are owned by restaurants, some assist in feeding the needy, and some are used for educational purposes. But all have one thing in common—they enable growers to grow food year-round in urban settings.
Gotham Greens, with two locations in Brooklyn and one in Queens, operates three of the numerous rooftop greenhouses that sit atop many of New York City's buildings. Greenpoint, its flagship Brooklyn greenhouse, was constructed in 2010, contains more than 15,000 square feet and produces over 100 tons of greens every year. Its Gowanus location, also in Brooklyn, consists of over 20,000 square feet atop a Whole Foods Market. Annually, it grows over 200 tons of greens and tomatoes. Its Queens facility, in the Jamaica section of the borough, will utilize more than 60,000 square feet and begin producing crops this year.
"Our vision is a city of rooftop farms", reads the slogan of Montreal-based Lufa Farms. Its first of two rooftop greenhouses sits on top of a building in the center of Montreal and spans 30,000 square feet. Lufa farmers utilize sustainable hydroponics, despite the fact that this method is not organically-certified in Canada. This method poses less of an environmental impact. Produce at Lufa Farms is grown solely for taste and nutrition. A primary objective is to grow food where people already live―hence the city location.
In Chicago, Dr. Pedro Albizu Campos High School sits in the city's Humboldt Park neighborhood. On the roof of the school sits a hydroponic greenhouse, used both to grow food and educate its students about sustainability. Other greenhouses can be found on rooftops along the same road, Division Street. The high school builds its curriculum around social transformation, and views social ecology and urban agriculture as ways to transform the world.
San Francisco nonprofit Project Open Hand provides healthy meals to the sick and elderly. The organization uses its greenhouse at its city headquarters to grow herbs and greens for use by its chefs in meals for clients. Basil, lettuce and micro-greens are grown inside the greenhouse, which utilizes hydroponic systems.
On the rooftop of the Manhattan School for Children (Public School 333) in New York City sits a rooftop greenhouse. Its purpose? To educate students about where their food comes from, and to teach the link between food and health. The greenhouse is the result of a partnership of parents and New York Sun Works, a nonprofit organization that constructs science labs for city schools. Named the Sun Works Center for Environmental Studies, students experience the importance of sustainability. Key issues taught are climate change, the importance of green cities and the ability of agriculture to adapt to greater demand and changing circumstances.
In Grand Rapids, Michigan, the Grand Rapids Downtown Market is all about local foods and sustainability. The market, with space for 24 vendors in its main hall and sustainability features such as a green roof and live walls, also has a rooftop greenhouse where some of the produce sold there is grown.
A rooftop greenhouse is perched atop Exploratory Hall on the Fairfax, Va. campus of George Mason University. Part of the Department of Environmental Science and Policy, the greenhouse has three rooms simulating different climates. Other plants utilize an outdoor terrace. The greenhouse has partnered with the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History and the university's Potomac Heights Vegetable Garden, which supplies area homeless shelters.
The University of Chicago has a rooftop greenhouse on top of its Donnelley Biological Sciences Learning Center. It contains 7,500 square feet of growing space, and a portion of the greenhouse is used for drug research.
Famed conservationist and forester Aldo Leopold taught at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Now, a residence hall on campus bearing his name was built with sustainability in mind, and its many features include a 1,400-square foot rooftop greenhouse. Students who call the 52,800-square foot residence hall home enjoy the opportunity of growing and preparing their own food year-round (despite harsh Wisconsin winters). The residence hall is also home to the university's Greenhouse Learning Community.
New York City is home to many pizzerias, but Roberta's Pizza in Brooklyn's Bushwick neighborhood boasts its own rooftop greenhouses. The restaurant grows 20 percent of its produce in these two small facilities.

Fuiman L, Meekan MG and McCormick MI (2010) Maladaptive behavior reinforces a recruitment bottleneck in newly settled fishes. Oecologia. 164: 99-108.
Settlement from the plankton ends the major dispersive stage of life for many marine organisms and exposes them to intense predation pressure in juvenile habitats. This predation mortality represents a life-history bottleneck that can determine recruitment success. At the level of individual predator-prey interactions, prey survival depends upon behavior, specifically how behavior affects prey conspicuousness and evasive ability. We conducted an experiment to identify behavioral traits and performance levels that are important determinants of which individuals survive or die soon after settlement. We measured a suite of behavioral traits on late stage, pre-settlement Ward's damsel (Pomacentrus wardi) collected using light traps. These behavioral traits included two measures of routine swimming (indicators of conspicuousness) and eight measures of escape performance to a visual startle stimulus. Fish were then released onto individual patch reefs, where divers measured an additional behavioral trait (boldness). We censused each patch reef until approximately 50% of the fish were missing (similar to 24 h), which we assumed to be a result of predation. We used classification tree analysis to discriminate survivors from fish presumed dead based on poor behavioral performance. The classification tree revealed that individuals displaying the maladaptive combination of low escape response speed, low boldness on the reef, and high routine swimming speed were highly susceptible to predation (92.4% with this combination died within 24 h). This accounted for 55.2% of all fish that died. Several combinations of behavioral traits predicted likely survival over 24 h, but there was greater uncertainty about that prediction than there was for fish that were predicted to die. Thus maladaptive behavioral traits were easier to identify than adaptive traits.


California's Republican candidates have what many observers say will be a fine line to walk this fall: how to be close to President Reagan - but not too close to Reaganomics.
The state's Republican contenders have worked hard to align themselves closely with the President for the upcoming June 8 primary, sometimes playing oneupmanship in their eagerness to appear as a Reagan favorite.
But as campaigns move into the general election - and as candidates work to broaden their appeal across partisan lines - many political pundits here predict that some Republicans may try to shield themselves from the fallout of public displeasure with the President's economic programs.
''The largest single effect on Republican statewide races will be how the public views Ronald Reagan,'' says pollster Mervin Field. ''A year ago it appeared that Republicans would have the edge. All they had to do was wrap themselves in the mantle of Ronald Reagan.
Mr. Reagan is still very popular in his home state. His ability to raise funds - the California GOP brought in a little more than $1 million at a May 25 dinner in his honor - is substantial. And among hard-core conservatives, loyalty to Reagan is considered such an important test that many Republican candidates have squabbled openly over who has the longest-standing record of support for Reagan.
In the Republican gubernatorial race, for example, Attorney General George Deukmejian and Lt. Gov. Mike Curb have worked hard in the GOP primary to show who has the longest track record of support for Reagan.
San Diego Mayor Pete Wilson, who just took the lead in California polls in the GOP race for the US Senate seat being vacated by Sen. S. I. Hayakawa (R), also has worked hard to show himself a close Reagan ally - an effort made more difficult by the fact that conservative Republicans remember that he campaigned for President Ford instead of Reagan in the 1976 presidential primary race.
Despite this personal popularity, Reagan's job performance ratings have plummeted in California polls - from 64 percent in the state who rated him excellent or good in April 1981 to 37 percent this March. And the percentage of those who said they believed their household would be worse off as a result of Reaganomics rose from 36 percent last October to 51 percent in March.
The economy - and Reagan's economic policies - already are being sounded as a major issue by Democratic candidates, particularly by Gov. Edmund G. Brown Jr., who also is running for Senator Hayakawa's seat. Criticism of Reaganomics has become an ideal political vehicle for Governor Brown, who reportedly is the Democrat the Reagan administration most wants to keep out of Washington, D.C.
However, California Republicans aren't expected to make any dramatic breaks with the President.
''It doesn't mean you'll see Republican nominees endorsing huge deficits or anything,'' Mr. Roberts says. ''But I don't think Republicans will be walking away from him.
Besides, notes Roberts and other Republicans, if the economy appears to be pulling out of its recession by this fall, and if unemployment begins to drop, the thrust of any Democratic attack on Reaganomics will be blunted.
Decoder Is Donald Trump the next Ronald Reagan?

Q: Algorithm for creating min-heap I got this question in an exam, but I'm not sure that I understand what it wants me to do. Can you please clarify that if I did the correct thing?
Question
An integer array A is passed to the function makeHeap. if A[0] contains n, then A[1] to A[n-1] contain numbers in arbitrary order. Write makeHeap such that A[1] to A[n-1] contain a min-heap. Your function must create the heap by processing the elements in the order A[2] , A[3] ,... , A[n-1].
My solution
void makeHeap(int A[], int n)
{
  int r = n -1 ;
  for(int i = 1; i <= n/2; i++)
    siftUp(a, i , r );
}

/* i- parent , r - right of the array */
void siftUp(int A[], int i , int r )
{
   boolean done = false ;
   int j = 2* i ;
   while (j <= r && !done)
   {
     if(A[j] > A[j+1]) // find the smalest child
       j+=1 ;
     if(A[i] > A[j])
     {
       // code to swap A[i] and A[j]
       i = j ;
       j = i*2 ;

     }
     else done = true ;
   }
}

Is this solution even remotely correct? Also, is siftUp the correct name of the function?
Edit:
My new solution
void makeHeap(int A[], int n)
{
  for(int i = 1; i <= A[0]/2; i++)
    siftUp(A, i );
}

/* i- parent */
void siftUp(int A[], int i )
{
   bool done = false ;
   int j = 2* i ;
   while (i > 1 && !done)
   {
     if(A[j] > A[j+1]) // find the smallest child
       j+=1 ;
     if(A[i] > A[j])
     {
       /* swap A[j] and A[i] */
       int temp = A[i];
       A[i] = A[j];
       A[j] = temp ;

       j = i ;
       i = i / 2 ;

     }
     else done = true ;
   }
}

A: Your code wouldn't heapify the array (ignoring errors like a and boolean)
For siftUp(), bear in mind the property parent(i) = i/2, where i is a node's index. Some pseudocode for inserting node into the heap (as the last node of the heap):
 Algo siftUp(H[], n)
     i = n
     while i > 1 and H[i] < H[i/2]
         swap(H[i], H[i/2])
         i = i / 2

This would result in O(nlogn) as you iterate through the array, but there is a better approach with the bottom up construction with O(n).

The cell cycle or cell-division cycle is the series of events that take place in a cell leading to its division and duplication of its DNA (DNA replication) to produce two daughter cells. In bacteria, which lack a cell nucleus, the cell cycle is divided into the B, C, and D periods.
The B period extends from the end of cell division to the beginning of DNA replication. DNA replication occurs during the C period. The D period refers to the stage between the end of DNA replication and the splitting of the bacterial cell into two daughter cells. In cells with a nucleus, as in eukaryotes, the cell cycle is also divided into three periods: interphase, the mitotic (M) phase, and cytokinesis.
During interphase, the cell grows, accumulating nutrients needed for mitosis, preparing it for cell division and duplicating its DNA. During the mitotic phase, the chromosomes separate. During the final stage, cytokinesis, the chromosomes and cytoplasm separate into two new daughter cells. To ensure the proper division of the cell, there are control mechanisms known as cell cycle checkpoints.


In episode seven the concept of manipulation was considered and is revisited in this episode. Terry's manipulation of Eddie is dressed in the role play of a fledgling sado-masochistic relationship but as will become evident, a key element of such role plays – trust – is brutally betrayed. Jess continues to raise concerns with hospital management and finds herself silenced, admonished and betrayed by those who she should have been able to trust, working to hidden agendas.

N.J. Dem now has lots of power in D.C. and special interests are showering him with cash
Rep. Frank Pallone Jr. speaks at a rally in Newark in support of the Affordable Care Act. (Ed Murray | NJ Advance Media for NJ.com)
By Jonathan D. Salant | NJ Advance Media for NJ.com
WASHINGTON — Here's a benefit of being one of the most powerful lawmakers in Congress: Everybody wants to be your friend.
And the best way to do that in Washington is to open the wallets and give campaign cash.
That's what's happened to New Jersey Rep. Frank Pallone Jr., now that he chairs the powerful House Energy and Commerce Committee.
The money is now flowing to Pallone from a wide variety of special interests that are directly affected by the legislation is considered by his committee, according to an NJ Advance Media analysis of data from the Center for Responsive Politics.
Even corporations that shunned Pallone during his first 30 years on Capitol Hill are now ponying up to fill his campaign coffers, the analysis shows.
"This is a classic example of how money follows power," said Sheila Krumholz, executive director of the center.
N.J.'s Pallone gets the power to lead the fight for Obamacare and against drilling off the Jersey Shore
Rep. Frank Pallone Jr. was elected chairman of the powerful House Energy and Commerce Committee.
Pallone, D-6th Dist., became chairman of the committee in January when Democrats took back the House. He previously served as the panel's ranking member.
Since then, he received $95,000 from corporate PACs giving to him for the first time.
That's a dollar for every $7 in PAC contributions Pallone received during the first six months of the year. It's more than all the PAC money raised during the same period by Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman, D-12th Dist.
Overall, Pallone raised $890,600 during his first six months as chairman. That's more than double the $433,689 he brought in during the same period in 2017. His PAC donations almost tripled to $639,600 from $286,220.
Pallone's new-found friends represent industries whose concerns come before his committee.
Airlines for America, whose members include United Airlines, gave $1,000 through its PAC on March 25. Pallone's committee oversees the travel industry.
Clorox PAC gave $1,000 on June 30 — its only contribution from April to June. Pallone's committee regulates product safety.
And Independence Blue Cross, based in Philadelphia, made two $2,500 contributions on June 24. Pallone's committee has jurisdiction over health care.
Their donations were the first checks these PACs ever wrote to Pallone, who has represented New Jersey in Washington since 1989.
"It is an indication of what really campaign contributions are all about," said Craig Holman, a lobbyist for Public Citizen, a Washington-based advocacy group that favors stronger campaign finance laws.
"People generally give to those who have oversight over their business. This is a key first step to make sure their phone calls get answered and they can get in the door and talk to the person."
Airlines for America and Clorox did not respond to requests for comment. Independence Blue Cross had no comment.
Pallone campaign manager Geri Jannarone said the donations are more about Pallone than his new position.
"Individuals and PACs contribute to the congressman's campaign because they know he is dedicated to a fair approach and is influenced only by the facts and what's best for New Jersey and our country," Jannarone said.
Pallone had $2.6 million in the bank as of June 30 and is considered a shoo-in to be re-elected next November by the Cook Political Report and Inside Elections, which track congressional races.
Pallone has been using his campaign cash to help elect other House Democrats, seeking to keep his party in the majority — and he as Energy and Commerce chairman. From January to June, he gave $106,500 to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, the House Democratic caucus' political arm.
And his leadership PAC, funded by many of the same special interests that give to his campaign committee, made $128,000 in contributions during the first six months of the year, most of it to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and Democratic congressional candidates. That's 58 percent more than the $81,000 he gave during the same period two years earlier.
Contributions to that committee tripled since Pallone became a committee chairman, to $373,125 from January to June from $122,100 during the same six months in 2017.

A group of six democratic senators sent a letter President-elect Joe Biden on Jan. 11 urging his administration to support U.S. farmers and the biofuels industry by restoring the integrity of the Renewable Fuel Standard.
The letter, signed by Sens. Tammy Duckworth. D-Ill.; Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn.; Tina Smith, D-Minn.; Tammy Baldwin, D-Wisc.; Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich.; and Richard Durbin, D-Ill., requests that Biden take bold action in support U.S. farmers and rural communities while acting to combat climate change.
"The outgoing administration undermined the [RFS], which was designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the transportation sector, diversify our fuels, strengthen our national security and drive economic opportunity in America's heartland," they wrote. "It is critical that the integrity of this policy be restored and that biofuels be part of your efforts to combat climate change and reduction greenhouse gas emissions from the nation's largest emitting sector."
In order to achieve those goals, the senators urge the Biden administration to swiftly take four steps. First, the senators ask Biden to direct the U.S. EPA to adopt the Tenth Circuit Court decision on small refinery exemptions (SREs) nationwide and swiftly reject any pending and future SRE petitions that do not meet the standards set forth by the court. Second, they ask him to swiftly publish the 2021 renewable volume obligations (RVOs). Third, the senators urge Biden to approve pending pathway applications for corn kernel fiber ethanol and update the EPA's biofuels emissions modeling. Fourth, when reaffirming U.S. commitment to the Paris Climate Accord, the senators ask Biden to include biofuels.
"We strongly support your administration's goal of addressing the climate crisis and supporting our nation's farmers," the senators wrote. "Ending the policy abuses that were prevalent during the outgoing administration early on in your term will help to renew commitments to rural communities and drive economic resiliency in the heartland. In addition to the policy recommendations above, we urge your administration to begin consideration of the RFS "set" for RVO volumes for 2023 and beyond, guided by the important role that biofuels must play in meaningful and rapid climate action."
The Renewable Fuels Association, Growth Energy and the American Coalition for Ethanol have spoken out in support of the letter.
"We thank these six Senators for strongly supporting the RFS. These lawmakers understand that when the RFS is properly implemented and enforced, it is an incredibly powerful tool for curbing greenhouse gas emissions from the transportation sector," said Geoff Cooper, president and CEO of the RFA. "They also recognize that the outgoing Trump administration continues to pose a threat to the integrity of the RFS, and we stand with them to defend the program from midnight-hour manipulation."
Cooper also noted, "RFA looks forward to working with President-elect Biden and EPA Administrator-designee Michael Regan to ensure the RFS is implemented in a way that fully embraces the program's potential to drive decarbonization, and we agree with Mr. Biden that renewable fuels play a 'critical role…in our fight against climate change.'"
"As we begin the new year and new Congress, we are grateful for Sens. Duckworth, Klobuchar, Stabenow, Smith, Baldwin, and Durbin's urgency on behalf of the biofuels industry to raise these top priorities to the incoming Biden Administration," said Emily Skor, CEO of Growth Energy. "From swiftly publishing RVOs to rejecting SREs, this letter outlines the actions the Biden Administration needs to take to fulfill its campaign promises to rural America and make quick progress on their environmental and energy goals."
"ACE appreciates the Senators underscoring biofuels be part of the Biden administration's efforts to combat climate change and reduce greenhouse gas emissions," said Brian Jennings, CEO of ACE. "Three of the four steps outlined in the letter they sent that the incoming administration can immediately take are associated with restoring the integrity of the RFS. Today, ACE also took a step to ensure the Biden administration doesn't have more work to do in regards to this policy by writing the EPA Inspector General to seek assurances that EPA Administrator Wheeler is complying with the law on any final RFS waiver decisions on his way out the door to the private sector."
A full copy of the letter can be downloaded from Duckworth's website.

Shawwal 09, 1441 2020-06-01
by Akhmet Makhmoudov (Special Reports, Crescent International Vol. 49, No. 4, Shawwal, 1441)
Media outlets are propaganda machines, especially the large and well-financed ones. They propagate, directly or indirectly, the ideas and worldviews of people in-charge of media organizations.
They project the perspectives of those who facilitate the media's work, be it a political party, a government, powerful politicians, businesses or certain state institutions and policies. This is not a problem in and of itself. It becomes problematic when media outlets begin implying that their position and perspective are not shaped by the underlying worldview of their sponsors. That is why Crescent International identifies itself as the 'newsmagazine of the Islamic movement'. We are not in the business of deception; our perspectives are shaped by our Islamic worldview; unlike our wealthy secular counterparts, we do not conceal our core underpinnings and values.
Powerful media outlets are either directly connected to state entities or their connection is indirect, through wealthy corporations or hedge-funds, whose management often spends a lot of time with government officials. One cannot sustain a solid media organization of an army of reporters and multiple offices purely on donations of conscientious citizens. It is possible to maintain a small sized media operation that has some impact, based on donations and volunteer work, but not a full-fledged news organization.
Before moving to the key point of this article, which deals with the relative independence of Russian media, we want to offer a clarification. It is not our position that the Russian media landscape is not influenced by the government. However, this is the case in all modern nation states. The strategy is the same, it is the methodology that varies, based on the issue, locality and political necessity. It is no coincidence that media is referred to as the 'fourth estate' and is often studied together with the executive, legislative and judicial branches of governance.
In May 2020, the Middle East Eye published a report about how "the UK's covert propaganda programmes in war-torn Syria were poorly planned, probably illegal and cost lives, according to a scathing internal review of the initiative… Using news agencies, social media, poster campaigns and even children's comics, communications companies working under contract to the British government attempted to undermine both the Assad government and the Islamic State group and bolster elements within the Syrian opposition. The UK embarked on its propaganda efforts in the country in 2012 and stepped them up dramatically the following year as the government sought to maintain a strategic foothold after parliament had voted against any British military intervention in the conflict."
Western regimes and their corporate media outlets paint an unrealistic picture of Russia claiming no plurality of perspectives is allowed. While this narrative assists in pushing anti-Russian policies and presents Russia as a bogeyman, it does more harm to Western regimes than good, as their approaches are based on mistaken assumptions and false paradigms. Sometimes these false paradigms are pushed deliberately, as was the case of Sunni-Shia conflict narrative after the US invaded Iraq in 2003.
On May 9, the US website, the Daily Beast, published an article asserting that Russia was seeking to topple Syrian President Bashar al-Asad. The entire narrative was based on the fact that several Russian media outlets published a few articles highlighting corruption in Syria and the need for economic and administrative reforms. The assumption that Moscow is about to turn against one of its key allies, after investing so much in saving Asad's rule is derived from a simplistic understanding of Russia and its media landscape.
The Daily Beast and most other Western media outlets deliberately present a picture of the Russian media landscape as being totally centralized and under the control of the government, like it was during the Soviet era. Thus, by default they propagate the idea that if any alternative view is published in the Russian media, it is because the government must have sent a directive, a la Soviet times, for it to be published.
Again, this should not be confused with the point that we are claiming the media landscape in Russia is not manipulated by the Kremlin. All governments influence media outlets in their countries. Look at how most Western media outlets cover Palestine, Iran or Muslims in general; they all mostly tow the line of their respective governments, with occasional critical reporting acting as an objectivity mask and a control valve to let some societal steam out.
Prior to looking into the Russian media's varied perspectives on Syria and other issues, we would like to re-emphasize the following point. In our analysis of Russian policies in the Muslim world, we have on numerous occasions pointed out that the Russian ruling class is Western oriented and aspires to be part of the Western ruling elite.
For instance, we pointed out that Dmitri Trenin had articulated in the Washington Quarterly as early as 2009 the most accurate Western assessment of contemporary Russia within the current global power pyramid. Trenin wrote: "Russia was not to be integrated into the core West, but managed by it… Putin aimed at integration with it [West]. Unlike [Boris] Yeltsin, Putin put a price on his country's cooperation with the United States. Washington would have to recognize Moscow's primacy in the CIS [Commonwealth of Independent States, the Central Asian Republics that were part of the Soviet Union before its breakup]."
With this in mind, let us look at some of the claims by the Daily Beast to push the narrative that Russia is planning to remove Bashar al-Asad. The Daily Beast implies that since a string of critical articles about the Syrian government were published by Russia's Federal News Agency (FNA), an outlet owned by a Russian business tycoon and Putin's confidant, Yevgeny Prigozhin, it is a sign that Moscow is turning against Asad. Firstly, as regular observers of the Russian political and media scene, we can clearly state that FNA is a third-tier media organization with no real impact on policymaking in Russia or a wider audience. Second, if the Russian government wanted to remove Asad from power, it would not be publicizing it in news outlets. The world would have learned about it after active policy steps were taken on this matter. Third, while FNA has some critical content about the Syrian government, it also recently published very staunchly pro-Syrian content as well.
Syria is not a crucial topic for the Russian society and government; Chechnya is. One of the highly sensitive topics for the Russian government is advocating or positively describing anything which has to do with separatism in Chechnya or the North Caucasus. The Kremlin has very low tolerance for deviating from its narrative on the events in Chechnya between 1994-2003.This topic is a redline as it is viewed as opening a window to Russia's disintegration. However, even on this topic, one comes across some objective and positive coverage of Chechen separatism in the Russian media. For example, in March 2019, an influential Russian newspaper Kommersant, a private publication, described in an article in the Journal of the Middle East and Africa, titled, The Russian Media as a Promoter of Manipulative Approaches: The Case of the Syrian Civil War as "not owned or operated by state officials" published an article crossing most, if not all redlines on the topic of Chechnya. This is not the only article which crossed most of the governmental red lines on the topic. Prominent Russia media outlets regularly host Maxim Shevchenko who has a very different view on events in the North Caucasus.
The above referenced overview of the Russian media shows that in contemporary times, informational struggle is much more complex and nuanced. The frustrating factor is that this nuance and complexity aspect is only factored in when Western media outlets are being examined. Unfortunately, this is often done deliberately in order to paint other media outlets as highly biased and project the Western corporate media outlets as paragons of objectivity.

There's a Resident Evil 2 Remake for Xbox One,PS4, and Windows PC that definitely exceeded expectations. It's a huge hit: it debuted at number one in the UK charts last week, and it has sold more than 3 million copies worldwide.

While the original survival horror game has a perfect 10/10, the 2019 remake features a still-very-impressive 9/10 on IGN, GameSpot, and other portals.
Capcom also announced the Resident Evil franchise had pushed more than 88 million copies worldwide since it debuted back in 1996. Meanwhile, Resident Evil 7 has reached 6 million copies sold. Now, Resident Evil 2 has reached half that number in a single week.

The original Resident Evil 2 came out on 1998k, two years after the first installment of the saga. Resident Evil 1 follows either Jill Valentine or Chris Redfield as they research the mysterious zombie plague on Racoon City.
The follow-up survival horror game, Resident Evil 2, sold 4.96 million copies and is still regarded as one of the best game of the genre. The remake is already hitting the bar.
Such good numbers are no surprise: the game's unique "1-Shot Demo" had 4.7 million downloads.
2019's version is very similar in the plot as the original. The title follows rookie Racoon City police officer Leon S. Kennedy and Claire Redfield, a college student, as they scape the zombie-plagued city.
The game was released on January 25, and it's available worldwide. Critics are praising the presentation, gameplay, graphics, score, and overall faithfulness to the original. You know how they say: "if it ain't broke, don't fix it…" make it way, way better.
Looking forward, Resident Evil 2 has a new Ghost Survivors DLC, a free expansion launching on February 15.

Kuwait Religion
by aceinland · Published July 31, 2020 · Updated October 21, 2020
Islam is state religion and a majority of the population are Muslims. Most are Sunnis, but close to one-third of the population are Shi'ite Muslims. To some extent, this is a class issue: the royal family and the country's elite belong, for example, to Sunni Islam, while Bidun is usually Shiite.
Tensions that existed between Shia and Sunni in the 1980s, then often inspired by Shia Muslim Iran, are feared to grow again as a result of the violence that has occurred in the region in recent decades. In 2015, a suicide attack occurred against a Shiite mosque that claimed nearly 30 lives. But the suicide bomber was identified as an influential Saudi extremist and the deed was followed by grief manifestations from both Sunnis and Shiites in Kuwait. The Islamic State (IS) international jihadist movement took on the attack.
Among the Shiites there are groups of different ethnic backgrounds: some from areas of the Persian Gulf populated by Arabs, such as Iraq, while others have a long way back in what is today Iran.
Religious freedom prevails. Several Christian minority groups have erected their own churches. Maronites (from Lebanon) apply to one of several Catholic congregations and several Orthodox faiths are represented as well as the Anglican Church. The Lutheran World Federation has no member church in Kuwait, however, there is an evangelical orientation and other smaller, Protestant congregations.
Kuwait has long been a fairly secularized country where religious minorities could freely exercise their faith. They still can, but there are reports that other than Sunni Muslims have encountered problems when they wanted to build mosques or churches. One can also see a burgeoning fundamentalist Islamic revival. This is noticed, among other things, by the fact that previously sparsely visited mosques are now crowded during Friday prayers and that Islamic sharia-based legislation has begun to be applied more strictly. Mission from other views of life directed at Muslims is often met with suspicion in Muslim countries.
Countryaah: Population statistics for 2020 and next 30 years in Kuwait, covering demographics, population graphs, and official data for growth rates, population density, and death rates.
New government takes office
A new government takes office, one and a half months after the last resignation (see October 30). New Defense Minister becomes the emir's eldest son, 69-year-old Sheikh Nasser Sabah al-Ahmad al-Sabah, who has not previously served in the government. Of the other 15 ministers, 8 are new. The Prime Minister remains.
Leaders are absent from GCC summit
Hopes for a solution to the conflict within the GCC come to shame when everyone except the host country of Kuwait and Qatar is represented at a lower level at the regional cooperation organization summit in Kuwait. The meeting ends prematurely and is overshadowed by Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates declaring that they intend to form a new organization to strengthen their military, political, economic, trade and cultural cooperation.
Opposition leaders among 67 convicted
One court sentenced opposition leader Musallam al-Barrak and 66 others to prison for violence against police in connection with the storming of Parliament (see November 2011). Barrak and two Islamist MPs are sentenced to seven years' imprisonment, while a third MP and the other 63 are sentenced to one to seven years. Barrak has already served two prison sentences for insulting the emir (see April 2017). Among those convicted are both Islamists and nationalists.
The government is leaving
Since opposition members in parliament raised a distrust vote against a high ranking government member, the emir accepts the resignation of the government. The designated minister is accused of financial and administrative irregularities. For the time being, the government remains in a transitional capacity. On November 1, Sheikh Jabir gains new confidence as prime minister.
Sanctions against North Korea
As punishment for North Korea's missile tests in Asia, Kuwait faces a series of sanctions against the regime in Pyongyang. North Korea's ambassador is ordered to leave Kuwait at the same time as Kuwait's diplomatic representation in Pyongyang is being downgraded. The thousands of North Koreans working in Kuwait should not have their work permits extended and trade between Kuwait and North Korea stopped.
Iran is accused of terrorist links
Kuwait orders 15 Iranian diplomats to leave the country, as a result of the Supreme Court sentencing 21 people for membership in a terrorist cell that Iran is accused of being behind. Kuwait is also protesting Lebanon when the influential Shiite Hezbollah militia, which is close to Iran, is accused of contributing to training the suspected terrorists. Several of the convicted must have left the country.
15 years in prison for insult
An opposition activist, Sager al-Hashash, is sentenced to 15 years in prison for insulting the judiciary in a statement on Twitter. Hashash was also sentenced in 2015 to 10 years in prison, for having been charged with assaulting police and reporting on how weapons are manufactured, also via Twitter. He has not yet started serving that sentence when the verdict is appealed. The new verdict can also be appealed.
Opposition leaders are calling for reconciliation
Opposition leader Musallam al-Barrak, recently released from prison (see July 2014), calls for national reconciliation. He says at a mass meeting that the country is heading for disaster, but that the opposition wants to contribute to a solution. No one questions the legitimacy of the royal house, according to Barrak, but the rights that have been truncated in recent years must be reinstated.
Suspended citizenship must be restored
Several opposition politicians and dozens of their relatives who all had their citizenship revoked in 2014 will now rejoin them, says opposition MPs who thank the emir for the decision. Among those who will now regain citizenship is opposition spokesman Saad al-Ajmi, who was deported to Saudi Arabia.
Iranian President visiting
Iranian President Hassan Rohani visits Kuwait with the aim of improving relations strained by the conflicts in Yemen and Syria. Rohani has also visited Oman, but not Saudi Arabia.
Seven prisoners executed
A member of the royal family, convicted of murder and illegal possession of weapons, is found with seven people executed. Among the other convicted are citizens of Bangladesh, Egypt, Ethiopia and the Philippines. It is the first time since 2013 that the death penalty has been enforced in the country.

If you've been involved in an accident that resulted in personal injury, you're going to want compensation from the responsible parties. But what if the party at fault is a government agency?
It can seem intimidating to go up against any government entity; however, it is possible. What isn't a good idea is trying to fight the battle on your own. Hiring an experienced personal injury lawyer in this type of case will help you fight the agency and get around the loopholes they may use to avoid paying full compensation.
Note that this isn't a full claim and that you aren't required to actually file the injury claim afterward, but if you decide to move forward, there are things you should know.
The notice of tort is a required step before you can even begin your claim against a government agency. In fact, you only have 180 days after your injury to submit this notice. This process can be complicated as it is vital that the claim goes to the right person. If the notice isn't submitted, any lawsuit you attempt to file will be thrown out of court.
Once you have filed your tort claim, you have two years to file the actual personal injury claim for compensation. If you don't file the claim within this time frame, you will lose the right to file at all.
According to Idaho law, a claim against a government agency may be limited to $500,000. You would have to discuss this process with your attorney to learn more about the specifics that are unique to your particular case.
You should also note that government agencies are very aware of certain loopholes that may prevent you from receiving the amount of compensation you are entitled to. This is another vital reason to hire a lawyer.
Going up against a government agency can be a tricky matter. You need someone who knows the laws and loopholes you might otherwise be oblivious to. Contact an experienced lawyer from Craig Swapp & Associates by completing the form below or by giving us a call at 1-800-404-9000.

Q: Bash Script Awk Condition i have a problem with this code.. i can't figure out what i have to write as condition to cut my file with awk.
i=0
while [ $i -lt 10 ]; #da 1 a 9, Ap1..Ap9
    do

      case $i in
        1) RX="54:75:D0:3F:1E:F0";;
        2) RX="54:75:D0:3F:4D:00";;
        3) RX="54:75:D0:3F:51:50";;
        4) RX="54:75:D0:3F:53:60";;
        5) RX="54:75:D0:3F:56:10";;
        6) RX="54:75:D0:3F:56:E0";;
        7) RX="54:75:D0:3F:5A:B0";;
        8) RX="54:75:D0:3F:5F:90";;
        9) RX="D0:D0:FD:68:BC:70";;
        *) echo "Numero invalido!";;
      esac
      echo "RX = $RX" #check
      awk -F, '$2 =="$RX" { print $0 }' File1 > File2[$i] #this is the line!
  i=$(( $i + 1 ))
  done

the command echo prints correctly but when i use the same "$RX" as condition in AWK it doesn't work (it prints a blank page).
my File1 :
1417164082794,54:75:D0:3F:53:60,54:75:D0:3F:1E:F0,-75,2400,6
1417164082794,54:75:D0:3F:56:10,54:75:D0:3F:1E:F0,-93,2400,4
1417164082794,54:75:D0:3F:56:E0,54:75:D0:3F:1E:F0,-89,2400,4
1417164082794,54:75:D0:3F:5A:B0,54:75:D0:3F:1E:F0,-80,2400,4
1417164082794,54:75:D0:3F:53:60,54:75:D0:3F:1E:F0,-89,5000,2
could you tell me the right expression "awk -F ..."
thank you very much!

A: To pass variables from shell to awk use -v:
awk -F, -v R="$RX" '$2 ==R { print $0 }' File1 > File2[$i]

A: @Ricky - any time you write a loop in shell just to manipulate text you have the wrong approach. It's just not what the shell was created to do - it's what awk was created to do and the shell was created to invoke commands like awk.
Just use a single awk command and instead of reading File 10 times and switching on variables for every line of the file, just do it all once, something like this:
BEGIN {
    split(file2s,f2s)
    split("54:75:D0:3F:1E:F0\
           54:75:D0:3F:4D:00\
           54:75:D0:3F:51:50\
           54:75:D0:3F:53:60\
           54:75:D0:3F:56:10\
           54:75:D0:3F:56:E0\
           54:75:D0:3F:5A:B0\
           54:75:D0:3F:5F:90\
           D0:D0:FD:68:BC:70", rxs)
    for (i in rxs) {
        rx2file2s[rxs[i]] = f2s[i]
    }
}
{
    if ($2 in rx2file2s) {
        print > rx2file2s[$2]
    }
    else {
        print NR, $2, "Numero invalido!" | "cat>&2"
    }
}

which you'd then invoke as awk -v file2s="${File2[@]}" -f script.awk File1
I say "something like" because you didn't provide any sample input (File1 contents) or expected output (File2* values and contents) so I couldn't test it but it will be very close to what you need if not exactly right.

This may sound odd, but Vaseline is one of my favorite beauty products. Yes, it's thick and goopy, but this petroleum-based product has so many innovative uses.
As legend goes, chemist, Robert Cheesebrough, founded Vaseline in the late 19th century. He observed local Pennsylvania factory workers using rod wax from the pop rods of oil wells to protect and heal cuts and scrapes. Amazed by its therapeutic benefits, he headed back to his lab and started creating batches using the wax's key ingredient: petroleum jelly. He made so much that he had to store it in his wife's vases! Adding "line" to "vase," Vaseline was born—and the rest is history.
I was first introduced to this beauty wonder by my grandma, who used it as a facial moisturizer. You would be hard pressed to find a wrinkle on her face, even at age 82! Throughout the years, I developed my own relationship with Vaseline. I used it as a cheaper alternative to paraffin treatments, slathering copious amounts of the jelly on my hands and feet, and then wrapping them in hot towels for five minutes as a quick moisturizing treatment. But that's not all there is to this wonder product. Here are 15 clever uses for the jar every woman should have in her beauty arsenal.
Vaseline is an amazing antidote to dry, cracked heels. Give your feet the VIP treatment by soaking them in warm water for 15 minutes. Follow by sloughing off dead skin with a pumice stone. Apply a generous amount of Vaseline and slip into a pair of thick socks.
Don't spend a minute panicking if you're out of shoe polish and headed to a special event. A dab — and truly just a dab — is great for restoring the sheen and cleanliness of your leather shoes.
Unruly eyebrows that haven't seen a pair of tweezers in a while (hey, we're all busy — it's completely understandable) could benefit from a touch of Vaseline, too. Use your finger to gently coax brows into shape, taking care to use just a touch of the jelly.
There are few beauty tasks more challenging than removing stubborn hair dye that seems to settle into the skin after a home coloring job. Smear Vaseline generously over your hairline to prevent this problem — just avoid getting it on your hair.
What good is spritzing on your favorite perfume if it disappears before you head out the door? If you know this is a problem for you, add a little Vaseline to the areas you normally spray and then apply your perfume. It should help it last a bit longer.
You never know when those stubborn strands will act up, but you can usually guess who's going to win when your hair wages war with humidity. Keep a small tube of Vaseline in your purse and apply the smallest amount to tame the frizz.
A great glow can come from many places — a lengthy jog, a generous amount of highlighter, or — you guessed it — a touch of Vaseline. To achieve that enviable look, simply add some to your cheekbones.
If you have an abundance of pretty powders and glitters in your makeup collection and aren't quite sure how to make use of them, consider mixing them with some Vaseline. The consistency will be just right to apply directly to your lids as a long-lasting shadow.
The art of at-home tanning is a bit of an imperfect science, and it takes some time to master. You'll be one step ahead with Vaseline by your side. Apply it to the dry spots, like elbows and knees, so that color won't cling too strongly to those areas.
When even the most hydrating lip balms don't work, your dry lips may seem impossible to heal. To the rescue comes Vaseline! Don't just smear it on, though — mix it with some brown sugar to create a gentle yet effective scrub to eliminate the dryness.
If you're feeling crafty or you happen to have far too many aging tubes of lipstick sitting around, you can finally put them to good use. Mix a bit of Vaseline with the lipstick leftovers in a contact lens case and mix with a brush. Voila: instant lip gloss.
You don't have to do anything fancy to achieve that gorgeous gleaming finish you see in magazines. It's truly as easy as smearing some Vaseline onto your legs. You can also mix it with your favorite liquid body bronzer to add a little tint.
There's nothing worse than grabbing a bottle of nail polish, only to discover that it won't open. Avoid this unpleasant surprise by smearing Vaseline on the inner surface of the nail polish cap. The next time you turn it, it will open easily.
Ouch! If you've struggled in vain to remove a too-tight ring, you know how frustrating it can be. A little bit of Vaseline may be helpful in reducing the friction between your skin and the metal. Take your time to gently ease the jewelry off your finger.
You don't have to participate in a pageant to take advantage of this stage-worthy trick. Apply Vaseline to your front teeth to prevent your lips from sticking when you smile. If you are headed on stage, of course, the jelly will also ensure you keep smiling!


Following an exhibition that toured the world before landing at Christie's Rockefeller Center, the multiday auction of The Collection of Peggy and David Rockefeller (running May 8-10, and until May 11 for the online sale) has been historic in more ways than one. The exceptional quality of the collection, spanning exuberant works by Matisse, Monet, O'Keeffe, Rivera and many other 20th-century greats, the provenance of the Rockefeller family, the chart-topping bids and the philanthropic mission all make it a once-in-a-lifetime sale.
Media outlets including the New York Times, the Washington Post, NBC, the BBC, the Wall Street Journal, Vogue and Time all covered the momentous May 8 evening auction, a nail-biter in which the sales of Matisse's "Odalisque couchée aux magnolias" for $80.7 million and Monet's water lilies, "Nymphéas en fleur," for $84.7 million broke records for both artists, while Picasso's "Fillette à la corbeille fleurie" fetched the highest price at $115 million. The $646 million total for that night alone made it the highest-grossing single-owner auction in American history. The following night, the Art of the Americas sale brought the highest price to date for a Diego Rivera painting, "The Rivals," which sold for $9.7 million. Meanwhile, one of the daytime sales of Rockefeller furnishings set the record for 19th-century porcelain, with a set of Napoleon's butterfly-decorated Sèvres dinnerware (acquired initially by Abby Aldrich Rockefeller) going for $1.8 million. All of the proceeds will be going to 12 different charities.
With an eye to quirkier stories, the Times also talked to newcomers to the auction world who hoped to nab a piece of the Rockefeller legacy, but largely left empty-handed, while artnet rounded up some of the couple's more unusual possessions they'd love to take home. Ariana Rockefeller, the handbag designer and granddaughter of Peggy and David, wrote for Forbes about how her grandparents made their art and antiques part of daily life for family and friends to enjoy, and about the representation of female entrepreneurs in the collection.
For more auction highlights, take a behind-the-scenes peek inside the Christie's warehouse, where items for the online auction are stored, and read about MoMA founder Abby Aldrich Rockefeller, whose influence on the Rockefeller collection and the New York art world was vast. Keep up with coverage on the Christie's site, where you can also browse the online sale, ending Friday, May 11.

Canada's economy is evolving — in fact, the country's job creation hit a three-decade high in the first few months of 2019. Which might make this the right time to start the small business you've always dreamed of. Here's a look at eight great business ideas in Canada, along with startup costs.
Thinking about starting your own business? Here are eight good ideas, along with the general startup costs for each.
Interested? Let's dig into the startup requirements of each business.
Customers pay photographers to capture weddings, births, family events and daily life.
Combine cutting-edge digital technology, social media and an eye for detail and you could make money as a photographer.
The biggest cost here? A high-end professional camera, which could cost $2,000 to $5,000.
Still, this makes the list of home business ideas with low startup costs since the camera should last for years if properly maintained.
Courses in photography don't hurt either, but the biggest challenge for startup photographers is getting the word out. They'll need active social media accounts and a website with hosting capable of handling large image files.
Real estate remains one of the most reliable industries in Canada. Despite occasional instability, the buying and selling of residential and commercial properties is an evergreen job.
This potentially lucrative business isn't tied to a 9-5 schedule.
According to the British Columbia Real Estate Association (BCREA), new agents can expect to pay more than $2,000 for licensing courses and the same for first-time license registration. In addition, each province maintains its own real estate board that charges initiation fees and monthly dues.
Also critical? Building a new client base. While this can be done via word-of-mouth, new agents are often best served by professionally-designed websites linked to social media accounts.
The fitness market in Canada is expected to reach $266 million this year, making it a good opportunity for entrepreneurs. It's also one of several home business ideas with low startup costs listed here.
Personal training offers a simple path to startup: prospective trainers pay for certification courses ($500 – $1000) and then start looking for clients. While it helps to own some fitness equipment, many clients prefer to work out in their own homes.
Expertise, not equipment, is your most valuable asset.
The challenge? As this market expands, you need a reliable way to find and keep new clients. Here, a great domain name and website can help get new customers to contact you directly.
Next on our list of top business ideas in Canada are mobile home services. It's a lucrative market because no one really wants to wash their own windows, mow their own lawn or clean their own car. Canadians are already over-worked and looking for more vacation time.
Tap into a growing market of stressed and tired homeowners just looking for a break.
A vehicle capable of carrying those ladders.
Tools and products to efficiently clean windows.
Insurance is also a requirement — homeowners won't hire you if they're worried about potential injuries leading to litigation.
Bottom line? Expect to pay between $10,000 and $50,000 to get started.
As mentioned, startup costs are minimal. A freelance writer can get to work with a computer and reliable internet connection.
The challenge? Finding clients. Freelancers need reliable, high-quality websites that draw in prospective clients and encourage them to learn more. A strong professional network is also a good source of steady leads.
Ridesharing services are quickly becoming popular in Canada. While Uber has been here for several years, competitor Lyft has now entered the Toronto market with plans to expand across the country.
Leave the logistical details such as pickups, drop-offs and payment to the service's mobile app.
Potential drawbacks include wear-and-tear on your vehicle and associated fees. These can range from 25 to 40 percent depending on the type of ride, distance and time of day.
Startup costs here are variable. If you already own a safe and reliable car, you can get started with virtually no overhead. If you need a new car — or if you prefer to tap the more lucrative market of longer-haul rides in larger vehicles — you could end up spending anywhere from $20,000 to $70,000.
Transportation and warehousing are critical to the country's economy, representing almost 5 percent of the nation's GDP. As a result, there's always a need for businesses capable of moving goods cross-province or cross-country quickly and safely.
If you can build a reputation for service and reliability, this could provide long-term, stable income.
A license to carry commercial goods.
Insurance for your vehicle and its cargo.
A name for your business, registered in your province.
All told, you could easily spend more than $200,000 to get up and running with a transportation business.
Small specialty stores are enjoying steady growth as consumer spending shifts away from "big box" retailers.
If you can find the right product — for example, specialty pet supplies or organic baked goods — and the right location, it's possible to establish your brand as one to watch.
The challenge? Small retail businesses are costly and time-consuming.
Ready to ditch the daily grind for a small business opportunity? Canada offers variety, depth and potential for growth. If one of the eights options on our list of business ideas in Canada fits, start planning now. Then read How to start a business in Canada for the steps required of all Canadian startups.

Q: Remote Desktop Log? Is there a log or some other way to tell who has remoted in to my (xp) machine?

A: To see current connections:

*

*open "Users" tab in Task Manager

*or use qwinsta on command line.

To register all connections (logins) to the Event Log, enable Account login auditing in secpol.msc.

A: There is a codeplex project for Remote Access Monitor - you can use it to detect logins. If you aren't interested in the "monitor" side of things, you could rip out the code examples and use it to log to a file instead.

I have also looked into these solutions 1, 2 But it still gives me exceptions.
Also, I have tried with .ToList() but unable to get desired results.
Note: I am using MySQL Database

                                             .Distinct()
                                             .FirstOrDefault();

By using FirsOrDefault() I am getting a single row returned
{
"data": {
    "zdjh": "002999001089",
    "sjsj": "2018-04-27T00:00:00",
    "xhqd": "19"
}
}

But I want API to return all the records between the date time given
How can I get rid of these exceptions?
Any help would be highly appreciated.
