Suning has said goodbye to support Hu "SwordArt" Shuo-Chieh ahead of next year's LPL season, the organization announced today.
"Thank you and goodbye. Take care," Suning said on Twitter.
The Worlds 2020 runners-up, who lost 3-1 to the LCK's DAMWON Gaming in the finals, are evidently heading in a new direction for 2021 starting with the support position.
SwordArt played a crucial role in the League of Legends team's success in 2020, gradually improving over the course of the year. Suning went from a disappointing 11th place finish in the LPL Spring Split to securing a spot at Worlds in the summer playoffs.
They were massively underestimated going into Worlds, but Suning plowed through the competition, beating Europe's No. 1 seed, G2, in group play before eliminating rival LPL teams JDG Gaming and Top Esports in the knockout stage.
SwordArt is set to sign with TSM as the team's starting support ahead of the 2021 LCS season, according to Esportmaniacos journalist Pablo Suárez. This has yet to be confirmed by the organization, but all signs point toward the signing.
TSM CEO Andy Dinh affirmed this sentiment when he responded to Suning's SwordArt announcement on Twitter. "Life is unpredictable, wonder where he's gonna go. No matter where he lands- SA will put in a ton of effort," he said.
Suning will now look to find a suitable replacement for SwordArt leading up to next season.

The GNU General Public License (GPL) is the principal copyleft license. Copyleft is a framework that permits ongoing sharing of a published work, with clear permissions that both grant and defend its users' freedoms — in contrast to other free licenses that grant freedom but don't defend it. Free software released under the GPL is fundamental to modern technology, powering everything from laptops and desktops to household appliances, cars, and mobile phones, to the foundations of the Internet. Following the GPL's terms is easy — it gets more complicated only when products distributed with GPL'd software also include software distributed under terms that restrict users. Even in these situations, many companies comply properly, but some companies also try to bend or even break the GPL's rules to their perceived advantage.
As stalwarts of the community's freedom, we act as a proxy for users when companies impede the rights to copy, share, modify, and/or redistribute copylefted software. We require all redistributors to follow the GPL's requirements in order to protect all the users' freedom, and secondarily to support businesses that respect freedom while discouraging and penalizing bad actors.
Copyleft is based on copyright; it uses the power of copyright to defend users' freedom to modify and redistribute rather than to hinder modification and redistribution. A traditional copyright license is violated by giving the work to others without permission; a copyleft license is violated by imposing restrictions to prevent further redistribution by others. Nevertheless, with their basis in copyright law, copyleft licenses are enforced through the same mechanisms — using the same vocabulary and processes — as other copyright licenses. We must take care, in copyleft enforcement, to focus on the ultimate freedom-spreading purpose of copyleft, and not fall into an overzealous or punitive approach, or into legitimizing inherently unjust aspects of the copyright regime. Therefore Conservancy and the FSF do enforcement according to community-oriented principles originally formulated by the FSF in 2001.
Our primary goal in GPL enforcement is to bring about GPL compliance. Copyleft's overarching policy goal is to make respect of users' freedoms the norm. The FSF designed the GNU GPL's text towards this end. Copyleft enforcement done in this spirit focuses on stopping incorrect distribution, encouraging corrected distribution, and addressing damage done to the community and users by the past violation. Addressing past damage often includes steps to notify those who have already received the software how they can also obtain its source code, and to explain the scope of their related rights. No other ancillary goals should supersede full compliance with the GPL and respect for users' freedoms to copy, share, modify and redistribute the software.
Legal action is a last resort. Compliance actions are primarily education and assistance processes to aid those who are not following the license. Most GPL violations occur by mistake, without ill will. Copyleft enforcement should assist these distributors to become helpful participants in the free software projects on which they rely. Occasionally, violations are intentional or the result of severe negligence, and there is no duty to be empathetic in those cases. Even then, a lawsuit is a last resort; mutually agreed terms that fix (or at least cease) further distribution and address damage already done are much better than a battle in court.
Confidentiality can increase receptiveness and responsiveness. Supporters of software freedom rightly view confidentiality agreements with distrust, and prefer public discussions. However, in compliance work, initiating and continuing discussions in private demonstrates good faith, provides an opportunity to teach compliance without fear of public reprisal, and offers a chance to fix honest mistakes. Enforcement actions that begin with public accusations are much more likely to end in costly and lengthy lawsuits, and less likely to achieve the primary goal of coming into compliance. Accordingly, enforcers should, even if reluctantly, offer confidentiality as a term of settlement. If it becomes apparent that the company is misusing good faith confidentiality to cover inaction and unresponsiveness, the problems may be publicized, after ample warning.
Community-oriented enforcement must never prioritize financial gain. Financial penalties are a legitimate tool to achieve compliance when used judiciously. Logically, if the only penalty for violation is simply compliance with the original rules, bad actors will just wait for an enforcement action before even reading the GPL. That social model for copyleft and its enforcement is untenable and unsustainable. An enforcement system without a financial penalty favors bad actors over good ones, since the latter bear the minimal (but non-trivial) staffing cost of compliant distribution while the former avoid it. Copyright holders (or their designated agent) therefore are reasonable to request compensation for the cost of their time providing the compliance education that accompanies any constructive enforcement action. Nevertheless, pursuing damages to the full extent allowed by copyright law is usually unnecessary, and can in some cases work against the purpose of copyleft.
Community-oriented compliance work does not request nor accept payment to overlook problems. Community-oriented enforcement cannot accept payments in exchange for ignoring a violation or accepting incomplete solutions to identified compliance problems. Ideally, copyright holders should refuse any payment entirely until the distributor repairs the past violation and commits formally (in writing) to plans for future compliance.
Community-oriented compliance processes should extend the benefit of GPLv3-like termination, even for GPLv2-only works. GPLv2 terminates all copyright permissions at the moment of violation, and that termination is permanent. GPLv3's termination provision allows first-time violators automatic restoration of distribution rights when they correct the violation promptly, and gives the violator a precise list of copyright holders whose forgiveness it needs. GPLv3's collaborative spirit regarding termination reflects a commitment to and hope for future cooperation and collaboration. It's a good idea to follow this approach in compliance situations stemming from honest mistakes, even when the violations are on works under GPLv2.
These principles are not intended as a strict set of rules. Achieving compliance requires an understanding of the violator's situation, not so as to excuse the violation, but so as to see how to bring that violator into compliance. Copyleft licenses do not state specific enforcement methodologies (other than license termination itself) in part because the real world situation of GPL violations varies; rigidity impedes success.
In particular, this list of principles purposely does not seek to create strict criteria and/or "escalation and mediation rules" for enforcement action. Efforts to do that limit the ability of copyright holders to use copyleft licenses for their intended effect: to stand up for the rights of users to copy, modify, and redistribute free software.
The GPL, enforced when necessary according to these principles, provides a foundation for respectful, egalitarian, software-sharing communities.

The copyright holders ask that per §3(a)(1)(A)(i) and §3(a)(1)(A)(v) of that license, you ensure these two links (, ) are preserved in modified and/or redistributed versions.


COLUMBIA - The Southern Boone County School Board agreed this week to move forward with the demolition of the old Ashland High School.
The school board decided to demolish the Ashland Consolidated School at the end of next week.
The district ended the 2013-2014 school year with a higher surplus than it expected. The board has been discussing the demolition of the 111-year-old high school for about five years, but the additional money allowed the board to agree on demolishing the high school this year.
Southern Boone County School District Superintendent Chris Felmlee said the building is no longer safe enough to use.
"There really is no sense in postponing this. It's just a liability waiting to happen," said Felmlee.
Felmlee also said the members of the community have said they are sad to see the old building go. He said the community wants to save historical artifacts from the building.
"There's a tremendous amount of history within those walls, and it really hurts to have to tear it down, but it's been let go for so long," said Felmee.
Felmlee mapped out specific artifacts that will be preserved, including the limestone headstone over the building and original stonework within the building. The district is considering adding the saved artifacts to the middle school expansion or creating a sign out of the collected items.
Felmee said the cost to maintain and renovate the old high school would be very costly.
"No one wants to see it come down, but everyone realizes the liability and the current condition that it's in. It's just not usable and it's only going to get worse," said Felmee.
The district said it plans to use the old high school's land to expand the town's middle school within ten years.
"The growth of the town is really pushing us to expand ours schools, there's a need for academic space," said Felmlee.
The expansion would include a library, additional classrooms, administrative offices and a new entrance. The next phase in the Southern Boone County district academic expansion is to build an addition onto the primary school.

North Korea's nuclear test of 10 times more powerful than a bomb dropped on Hiroshima
Scientists say that North Korea's nuclear test was 10 times stronger than a bomb dropped by the US on Hiroshima.
Singapore (Patra): Last year, North Korea's latest and largest underground nuclear test was so powerful that it could shake a mountain from its place. Scientists said that this nuclear test was 10 times as powerful as a bomb dropped by the US on Hiroshima during World War II.
Nanyang Technological University and the University of California in Singapore showed how an explosion changed the upper part of the mountain. According to a study published in journal Science, a nuclear test was conducted at North Korea's nuclear test site on September 3, 2017, in North Korea. It shook the area in such a way that as if a 5.2-magnitude earthquake had occurred.
Based on seismic recordings from the global and regional networks, and before and after the surface radar measurement of ground surface radar measurement from Germany's Terasar-X and Japan's ALOS-2 radar imaging satellites, the researchers showed that the underground nuclear explosion caused Mount Mantap Increased the surface to 3.5 meters and reduced the mountain to about 0.5 meters.
Through the model of the event on the computer, they were able to show 400-600 meters below the peak, the explosion and the location of its depth. The seismic incidents and aftershocks were also located after 8.5 minutes of the nuclear explosion, 700 meters south of this bomb blast. This is halfway between the site of the nuclear explosion and the tunnel entrance and may be due to the collapse of part of the tunnel or the cave of the remaining nuclear explosions.

Brothers, fathers, sons and just generic men-friends, they're awful to buy presents for. Once you've discounted socks, a hammer, beer, a comedy jumper and cuff links for blokes who don't wear cuff links, it can seem like there's nothing original left.
That's where experience gifts come in. I've found loads of really original, and fun experiences that are perfect for the man in your life.
Now forgive me for choosing the obvious blokey experiences, it's just that I don't know your men as well as you do, so I've just marked out the usual things men like. If you know your men as well as you think you do, and they're more on the girly side, just pop over to the 'gift experiences for women' page and choose from one of them. Another benefit of these gift is that if the gent in question doesn't like the gift you've bought them, they can always swap it for another experience of the same value. This means, if your man really likes cocktails and massages instead of rally driving and James Bond, they can secretly trade it in and go on a different day out instead.


Former England manager Graham Taylor passed away today. He died of a suspected heart attack. He was 72.
He started his managerial career at Lincoln, but he really made his name at Watford. He took the club from the old Divison 4 to the 1st Division in five seasons.
This earned him a shot at the England management role, and he would lead the team to Euro 92 before resigning after the team failed to qualify for the 1994 World Cup.
He would manage Aston Villa, Wolves, and Watford again after the stint with his national side.

Meet an 80-year-old Young Men president
byLDS Church News | Mar. 22, 2010
Brother John Cutt is the new Young Men president of the Concord 1st Ward in the Concord California Stake. He is a mere 80 years old.
It came as sort of a shock when his bishop issued this calling, but Brother Cutt optimistically accepted it. He feels it's important to remain active in his ward, even as he gets older. Brother Cutt remembers President Dieter F. Uchtdorf saying in his October general conference talk that members shouldn't stop serving in callings as they get older.
"President Uchtdorf made a comment that you don't just retire from the Church," Brother Cutt said. "So I met with my bishop a couple days later and said, 'I'm ready for another assignment.'"
Before he and his wife, Thalia Cutt, moved to California from New York in 1959, the couple visited the Hill Cumorah out of curiosity and when they moved to California, they met some people who were really interested them in the Church.

The Department of Justice announced it has intervened in a False Claims Act lawsuit against Energy & Process Corporation (E&P), of Tucker, GA, alleging that E&P knowingly failed to perform required quality assurance procedures and supplied defective steel reinforcing bars (rebar) related to a contract to construct a Department of Energy (DOE) nuclear waste treatment facility.
"In intervening in this lawsuit, the U.S. Attorney's Office seeks to ensure that entities that defraud the government are identified and held responsible," said U.S. Attorney John Horn of the Northern District of Georgia.
The complaint against E&P claims that the DOE had paid a premium in the millions of dollars for the company to supply rebar that met stringent regulatory standards for construction of the Mixed Oxide Fuel Fabrication and Reactor Irradiation Services facility at the DOE's Savannah River site, near Aiken, SC.
However, E&P allegedly failed to perform most of the necessary quality assurance measures, while falsely certifying that those requirements had been met. Moreover, the suit further alleges that one-third of the rebar supplied by E&P and used in the construction was found to be defective.
According to the complaint, the facility's thick concrete walls, intended to prevent radioactive material from being released into the environment, were among its critical safety features. The concrete walls were to be strengthened with rebar of very specific dimensions and tensile strength to enhance the strength of the walls.
Because the rebar was considered a "basic component" of the construction, it was required to be manufactured and supplied according specifications meeting the Nuclear Quality Assurance-1 (NQA-1) regulatory standard maintained by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers and endorsed by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Commercial-grade rebar was not considered suitable for use for the MOX facility.
As part of its scheme, E&P reportedly sent a "Certification of Conformance/Compliance" with each shipment of rebar, which "explicitly and falsely" certified that the rebar complied with the quality assurance requirements.
Meanwhile, E&P billed the agency millions of dollars for material the company certified was NQA-1 rebar. At the time, the price of commercial-grade rebar was approximately $750 per ton, the complaint notes, but the federal government paid E&P about $3,400 per ton for rebar that E&P promised would be NQA-1 Rebar.
The sixteen invoices E&P sent for payment for the rebar were also considered to be "false and/or fraudulent because the required quality assurance work had not been performed," the complaint indicated.
"E&P's scheme was particularly egregious in that, had it not been discovered, it could have subjected the public to the serious and long lasting risks associated with radiological contamination," the complaint read.
"The Department of Justice is committed to ensuring that construction suppliers who are paid a premium to meet high safety standards actually supply the goods and perform the work for which they are paid," said Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General Benjamin C. Mizer, head of the Justice Department's Civil Division.
"When contractors cut corners, they not only cheat American taxpayers, but they also can put public safety at risk, particularly when their misconduct affects a facility that houses and processes nuclear materials," he added.
The lawsuit was filed by Deborah Cook, a former employee of the prime contractor building the DOE facility, under the qui tam, or whistleblower, provisions of the False Claims Act.
Under the act, private citizens can bring suit on behalf of the government for false claims and share in any recovery. The act permits the government to intervene in such lawsuits, as it has done in this case. Defendants found liable under the act are subject to three times the damages and penalties.
According to Schleier Law Offices, the government intervenes in only a small percentage of qui tam cases, but when it does, chance of success greatly increases.
This matter was investigated by the Civil Division's Commercial Litigation Branch, the U.S. Attorney's Offices of the Northern District of Georgia and the District of South Carolina, and the DOE's Office of Inspector General.

Michigan candidate's daughter urges people not to vote for him in viral tweet
The daughter of a candidate running for a seat in the Michigan state House has drawn viral attention online after taking to Twitter earlier this week to plead with voters not to elect her father to office.
In the viral tweet, which has racked up more than 159,000 likes in the past two days, Stephanie Regan, the daughter of Republican state House candidate Robert Regan, writes, "If you're in Michigan and 18+ pls for the love of god do not vote for my dad for state rep. Tell everyone."
In a pair of tweets the day after, Stephanie wrote that her father was Robert Regan and called on voters to research his campaign, writing: "I don't feel safe rn sharing further information regarding his beliefs, but please look him up and just read for yourself."
Stephanie Regan confirmed her identity to the website the Daily Dot. The Hill has reached out to her for comment.
Regan addressed his daughter's tweets in a lengthy statement posted to Facebook on Thursday afternoon, saying in part, "I am happy that she feels confident enough in our relationship to express her opposing thoughts so publicly" while encouraging her and others to voice their own opinions.
The candidate told The Hill on Thursday when reached for comment that he was not completely surprised by his daughter's words given their disagreements over issues like systemic racism, the existence of white privilege and Black Lives Matter.
"A lot of students when they go off to these liberal university campuses, like the University of Colorado, the University of Texas and Austin — and she went to the University of Colorado in Boulder — and you know, they just kind of get sucked into this Marxist, communist ideology and she and I just don't see eye to eye when it comes to the whole socialism, communism, Marxist philosophy," he said.
When asked what he thinks could have prompted his daughter to ask people not to vote for him, Regan said "her big thing has to do with the systemic racism that's going on in the country."
"She's a big believer in that," he continued, while adding, "The only place where I really see systemic racism would be the abortion clinic cause they seem to target the African American community."
"I don't buy into this whole systemic racism thing at all," he later said.
"I'm not saying there's not hurdles to overcome. We all have hurdles to overcome. You know, as a quote-unquote rich, white, Christian male, people look at me a certain way. And it's not always good. So, everybody has obstacles to overcome," he also said, while adding he thinks President Trump has "done more for the black community than any president we've had in the last 20 years."
The state House candidate added when discussing his and his daughter's political differences that on a scale of 1-10, "I'm like the right wing, a 10, and she's like a zero."
He also said, unlike his daughter, he doesn't believe white privilege exists and said he thinks their differing opinions on the matter could have also prompted her tweet.
Regan said his daughter recently sent him an article about the topic but he said "there's no scientific data behind it."
"It's like, really?" he said. "A known fact like man-made global warming? No, these things are debatable all day long. We need to have a debate."
A number of lawmakers and advocates have pointed to racial disparities seen in areas like health, incarceration and the economy recently amid rolling demonstrations against racial injustice across the country.
The Pew Research Center said in a report in May that Black Americans "remain far more likely than their Hispanic and white counterparts to be in prison," even as it found the rate of imprisonment among the racial group has decreased at record levels.
The White House also acknowledged earlier this year that African Americans were dying of COVID-19 at disproportionate rates in the country amid the ongoing pandemic, with Trump vowing then to do "everything in our power to address this challenge."
Regan said in the interview Thursday that although he and his daughter haven't spoken since her recent tweets, he was "happy that she's willing to speak out and express her opinion on things." He also noted that he has received supportive messages from others since the tweets went viral.
Stephanie Regan in her follow-up tweets urged followers to research her father's campaign positions. Among the issues listed on his campaign page, there is one section advocating for making "English the official language in Michigan," another calling for the restoration of a "constitutional Militia to the state of Michigan" and others spanning topics like immigration and abortion restrictions.
On his Twitter page, Regan has also shared tweets labelling Black Lives Matter a "Marxist" group and expressed support for the "Thin Blue Line," a reference to the police, as protests against racism and police brutality have continued in parts of the country following the police-involved deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and other African Americans.
House approves statehood for DC in 232-180 vote
Where things stand in 13 battleground states
Robert Regan in the interview Thursday invoked biblical scripture while likening the situation with his daughter to the "prodigal son," with the father figure "always standing at the doorstep waiting for his son to return."
"But I always just drop a line in the water and send them a card," Regan said about his four children. He emphasized that he doesn't "hold any animosity" toward his daughter following her tweets.
Regan is one of three Republicans running to represent District 73 in the Michigan state House. The seat is currently being held by state Rep. Lynn Afendoulis (R), who is running this year to unseat Rep. Justin Amash (L-Mich.).

Do you like Asian-fusion? Do you like brussel sprouts? Do you like restaurant-quality food made at home? Then this is your recipe. They use shaved brussels, but I just use regular, chopped up brussels and it's still incredible. Also, to use all the flavors of this dish to their fullest extent, I make brown rice on the side and add ground turkey into the pan with the brussels to create a full meal out of it. But these brussels stand alone on their own just fine, too.
Heat a wok or large skillet over medium heat and add sesame and vegetable oil.
Add ginger and garlic to the pan and heat until just fragrant.
Add sliced brussel sprouts and sauté for 2-3 minutes.
Add in soy sauce, honey, and chile oil at this time and stir to combine.
Cook for another 2 minutes and sprinkle with black sesame seeds.

Car Parks Are Not Just Car Parks Anymore: at London Fashion Week 09/15
I encountered Luo Qian at the junction of Brewer and Great Windmill Streets last Thursday, the first day of London Fashion Week. She was 28, from Shanghai, visiting Britain for the first time. She had wanted to come to look at the London Fashion Week HQ in the famous art deco Brewer Street car park because, she said, "it is just so great to see everyone wearing what they like." Luo Qian was wearing a vintage floral-print frock, black wool coat, Nike Huaraches and the eye-and-nose beak, which was in fact a replica plague doctors mask, bought from a shop in Edinburgh. I asked if she had put the outfit together for the occasion?
"Not really," she said.
"But it looks very… fashion," I said.
"No, it is for real life."
"But it's plague doctors' mask! It 's 2015, and however thin the models might be, no one's dying of the bubonic plague."
"No, that is for real life. I wear it for the London flu, because I am afraid to catch it. Maybe it looks good, but anyway, now I am going to look at more people!" she said.
Since it began in 1984, London Fashion Week has shifted with the fickleness of hem-lengths from Olympia to Battersea Park to Duke of York Square to the Natural History Museum and Somerset House before moving slightly north-west to the car park in September. The move from Somerset House was the idea of Caroline Rush, a former PR who is now the BFC's chief executive.
"We were looking for a venue that would be more connected to the West End." She told the Daily Telegraph, "and right in the heartbeat of London. As you walk around Soho you feel a lot of excitement and energy. It's really good for an international audience to witness that, and to understand the creative inspiration that we get from this incredible city." This of course at time when Soho is being hollowed out by big international coffee chains and the like. When you ask old-school fashion people a lot of them say LFW moving to Soho will be far better for the former than the latter, because there is too much corporate branding in Soho already. though of course they won't say so publicly.
It has to be said that much of the crappy, "experiential" branding signage was truly awful, particularly that in Golden Square.
Anyway, I went to the car park for the launch/"opening breakfast" on Friday morning. There was a lot of avocado. The top two floors of the car park hosted catwalk shows, static designer showrooms, and areas for press, buyers and sponsors. Just around the corner in Golden Square, shows were broadcast to the public on giant screens (such opening up of the fashion process, pioneered by Christopher Bailey at Burberry, has become fashionable. For ten years I have been saying to my wife that the brands will turn the catwalk shows into paid-for spectator events eventually). And through the whole five days there were various spin-off events in the surrounding streets. Somewhere or other Georgia May Jagger was hosting a "punk avant-garde afternoon tea" in a loft.
At the breakfast, the BFC chairman, Net A Porter founder Natalie Massenet, stressed the fashion industry's contribution to the British economy. James McArthur, CEO of Anya Hindmarch and President of the BFC "Business Pillar" (meaning: he's in charge of making London's traditionally gifted-but-not-that-great-at-business designers better at business) added that the BFC's aim was "to do better to convert talent into major business stories".
This emphasis on a more disciplined, commercial approach is hallmark of Massenet's regime; one of the reasons for the change in venue is that it brings the event closer to the retail centre of Oxford Street. It will mean that there is far less of the old London tendency to make fantastic clothes and then go out of business because you can't sort out the manufacturing, and so end up having to be a creative director at a big house i Paris. I wonder if it won't also sieve out some of the genius talent, but that's not very positive, I know.
The journalists and fashion editors gathered at the event were pretty positive, in a qualified way at least. Karen Dacre, a friend who is fashion editor of the London Evening Standard, said Soho would appeal to visitors and made sense as a fashion-friendly location. "I think it's a good idea. Somerset House was fine, but a little bit staid, maybe. The only potential problem is the traffic congestion and getting to Brewer Street, but if that works out, it'll be a really good move."
As the breakfast concluded, most of the journalists went up to the catwalk space on the floor above for the J. JS Lee show, while everyone else emptied out onto the street. Here it was already apparent that the most striking spectacle of the whole five days would be the hundreds of madly styled people turning up on Brewer Street to enjoy the atmosphere, watch people going in and out of the venue, and pose for photographs taken by their friends and pro photographers. On Friday there seemed to be more photographers than people.
Purveyors of extravagant street style have been fixtures of fashion weeks everywhere for years now, but the mood felt different here, somehow. At Somerset House, it wa clear that the dedicated followers of fashion had turned up at an otherwise conservative locale for the event. In Soho, where to some extent every week is fashion week, there was a pleasing sense of the theatricality and madness of the shows merging with the familiar theatricality and eccentricity of the streets. Surely it is only here that you'd find an passer by who just happens to be wearing a replica of a piece of 17th-century medical equipment, and just happens to have noticed a lot of people wearing what they like?
I talked to two twentysomething sisters from Ireland, Dawn and Karen, both of whom looked a bit like Kate Bush circa Army Dreamers, except in pale pink Chanel-style suits. Karen lives here and was, she said, "researching". "I'm planning to start my own label, and I'm looking for ideas for looks," she said. Had she designed anything yet?
"I'm just looking at ideas at the moment," she replied.
Such talk is not untypical of the fashion week preeners and posers on the street; rather than wearing outrageous outfits for the sake of it, as many might have a few years ago, the tendency now is for quieter clothes, but loud ambition. Everyone wants – no, plans – to work in fashion, and/or have their own label. This is fair enough, though sceptics might point out that there are more amateur fash-packers watching the showbizzy spectacle around the car park than there are checking out the actual shows on the screens in Golden Square. Shouldn't the shows be of more interest to people seeking to monitor and exploit new trends?
I went to the square on Saturday, where a calm, almost studious atmosphere prevailed. The large screen occupied one corner, and there were tasteful black deckchairs in which to sit; elsewhere there were branded pop up shops and information booths (Sunglass Hut, Mark Hix, Swatch, Lavazza, Amex), and a giant #LFW sign made from three foot high white letters. I watched as a bearded man collides with the W as he walks along using his mobile, which feels rather symbolic.
On the screen, Jasper Morrison's, Emilia Wickstead's and JW Anderson's shows came and went; Jasper doid a lot of stripes, Emilia had a lot of tangerine, and JW Anderson invented a minuscule piece of underwear called the bra-let. Later on Gareth Pugh has models who look like a nightmare version of a glam rock band, and wear striped red and white dresses that remind you of toothpaste squeezed from a tube. Lindsay Lohan is in the FROW for that one, which seemed impressive.
I met an old friend who was a former Evening Standard Fashion department staffer. He worried that the BFC's business-friendliness and attraction of more corporate sponsors would make Soho "feel more corporate at a time when it needs less of that, not more."
"Do you really think that, or are you just being a miserable trendy?" I asked. He gestures towards the Amex stand, which is a pop-up concierge for "insiders".
I can see his point, though it has to be said that most people seemed quite comfortable with all the logos and branding.
And what of business in general? Will the gladrags make moneybags of Soho's traders? It certainly didn't seem to be doing much for taxis. I went to meet some more friends in Soho on Sunday, and the cabbie who drove me into town ("just call me 'Swiss Cottage Kev', 'Swiss' to my friends") said his mates were avoiding the area because "you can't get near. Everyone knows its congested at the best of times! I dunno what they wanted to have it there for."
"I think it was because of the car park," I said. He gave me a look in the mirror.
"The car park?"
"Yes. It's supposed to be trendy."
Another mirror-look. He knew I was expecting him to laugh at this, so he said, "Well. If they wanted to do it in a car park, why didn't they do in Portman Square? Portman Square, you got access. You can drive around it. "
"But Portman Square car park's underground, and a spiral. So probably not good for catwalks."
"You can't have everything," said Swiss, and I thought, this is the sort of thing we're going to miss if Uber takes over: drivers with an opinion about the relative merits of Zone One Car parks vis-a-vis the staging if fashion shows.
The feelings of other traders on Brewer Street were mixed, and it was often hard to predict those who had done well out of it. A bloke in the Vintage Magazine Store, which had a great display of old fashion magazines, said they had had a 50% reduction in trade. Bhavesh, the manager of AZ Electrical on Brewer Street, said had done quite nicely thank you, with an increase to 75 customers on Saturday from the usual 60.
Bhavesh said the "fashion people" mainly wanted cable ties and screwdrivers. That made sense, given the proximity of the venue, but I wondered how he knew who were "fashion"?
"It's the way they don't know what they're looking for," he said.
"But then how do they know to ask for screwdrivers and cable ties?"
"They don't. They say, 'I need something to put screws in.' I say, "Do you mean a screwdriver?" They say, 'Er, will that do it?' You can be fairly sure at that point you're not dealing with a builder."
One of the friends I met introduced me to Roger Ashley, NCP's head of operations for London. Roger seemed proud of the car park, which is fair enough, because it is of recognised architectural significance. Constructed in 1929, the art deco building has been listed by English Heritage as an "important example of early motoring history".
Its top floor is now used almost exclusively for events, and in recent years the whole building has been adapted for art exhibitions, markets and pop-up restaurtants. This is in keeping, says Roger, with an NCP policy of allowing car parks to be used as entertainment and cultural spaces. "We recently had a big dance event in the car park in Farringdon, for example. That went very well, as did this year's London Fashion Week. Car parks are not just car parks any more."
"Car parks are not just car parks any more." That's 21st-century London for you right there.

This performance of End of Life was presented by Outside the Wire in collaboration with the IOM Committee on Approaching Death at the Chautauqua Institution on August 22, 2013. End of Life is an innovative public health project that presents a reading of ancient Greek plays – here, Sophocles' Women of Trachis – as a catalyst for a town hall discussion with expert panelists and attendees about death and end of life care as it touches patients, families, and health professionals. The event was facilitated by Bryan Doerries, Artistic Director for Outside the Wire. The reading was performed by T. Ryder Smith (as Heracles), Alex Morf (as Hyllus), and Bryan Doerries (as the Chorus). The panel comprised Patricia Bomba, M.D., FACP, Vice President and Medical Director of Geriatrics at Excellus BlueCross BlueShield; Christine Cassel, M.D., President and CEO of the National Quality Forum; Harvey Fineberg, M.D., Ph.D., President of the Institute of Medicine; and Philip Pizzo, M.D., Professor and Former Dean at Stanford University School of Medicine. Dr. Pizzo is co-chair of the IOM Committee on Approaching Death, and Dr. Bomba is a member of the committee. The event concluded with a 45-minute discussion with the more than 500 attendees about their reactions to the reading and experiences and thoughts relating to serious illness, aging, and end of life issues.
Members of the public provide three minutes of comments and testimony in areas related to the study charge.

Q: GoRouter - Entering the url in the address bar doesn't only create the related page I'm writing a web flutter application with go_router.
Below is a code sample to illustrate how it is architectured (you can also check out this repo).
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

void main() {

}

final router = GoRouter(

          pageBuilder: (_, __) => const DrawerPage(
            child: PersonScreen(),
          ),
        ),
      ],
    ),
  ],
);

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  const MyApp({Key? key}) : super(key: key);

  @override

              const Spacer(flex: 2),
              Expanded(
                  child: SlideTransition(
                position: animation!.drive(
                  Tween(
                    begin: const Offset(1, 0),
                    end: const Offset(0, 0),
                  ),
                ),
                child: (settings as DrawerPage).child,
              )),
            ],
          );
        },
      ),
    ];
  }

  @override
  bool get opaque => false;

  @override
  Duration get transitionDuration => const Duration(milliseconds: 200);
}

It has 2 pages:

*

*/persons

*/persons/:id
/persons is just a grey screen:

When I click on "Push", it pushed /persons/1 which is a transparent route that takes a 3 of the screen:

This works well and I can still see the previous screen related to /persons behind the DrawerPage.
And when I click on "Pop", it does remove the purple screen (as it should).

But what I don't understand is when I paste myself the URL in the browser's address bar (for example /persons/3), it also ends up with the purple page that takes 1/3 of the screen (this is fine), but for some reason, the grey screen (linked to /persons) is behind and I can pop to go to the previous page (/persons) when I click on "Pop".
How and why is this page built?
How does flutter/GoRouter decide that when going to /persons/:id it should insert persons/ as the first page?

A: This is how it works.
According to the documentation (https://gorouter.dev/sub-routes):
go_router will match the routes all the way down the tree of sub-routes to build up a stack of pages
The route /persons/id includes the screen /persons in the stack and that is why it is shown.
If you want a screen showing /persons/id without the stack, you could define a different route where /persons/id is the root. Like:
final router = GoRouter(
  routes: [
    GoRoute(
      path: '/',
      redirect: (_) => '/persons',
    ),
    GoRoute(
      path: '/persons',
      builder: (_, __) => const PersonsScreen(),
      routes: [
        GoRoute(
          path: ':id',
          pageBuilder: (_, __) => const DrawerPage(
            child: PersonScreen(),
          ),
        ),
      ],
    ),
    GoRoute(
      path: '/person/:id',
      pageBuilder: (_, __) => const DrawerPage(
        child: PersonScreen(),
      ),
    ),
  ],
);

Ball State played really well for about 34 minutes.
Tayler Persons led Ball State with 19 points, while K.J. Walton added 13.
Purdue's Carsen Edwards scored a game-high 23 points.
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — For as well as Ball State played for much of Saturday's game at No. 24 Purdue, it left feeling disappointed – but at the same time, optimistic.
What if Ball State could have stayed out of foul trouble and showcased what appears to be a really good defense? What if Ball State could have just grabbed a defensive rebound? What if Tayler Persons delivered in the second half like he did in the first?
If any one of those things had happened, Ball State could have stunned a sold-out Mackey Arena Crowd and pulled its second upset of an in-state team in as many years. But since none of them did, Purdue pulled away for an 84-75 victory.
"We have a lot of things we need to work on," K.J. Walton said, "but if you look at the game in the first half, you can tell we can play with teams like this. It's a learning experience, and we'll move on."
Indeed, the Cardinals were right with Purdue for about 24 minutes. They led early in the second half and were tied at 50 before Purdue went on a 19-2 run. Ball State closed the gap late, but every positive development – like Austin Nehls splashing back-to-back 3-pointers to close the gap to nine with 7:26 left – was followed by a setback, like Walton fouling out just 28 seconds later.
Tahjai Teague, Kyle Mallers, Trey Moses and Brachen Hazen all battled foul trouble in the first half and had to sit, and Walton picked up his fourth early in the second half. Teague also fouled out with 3:26 to play. Ball State couldn't play the type of aggressive defense it wanted to against Purdue.
"But that's basketball," Kyle Mallers said. "We have to play through that. We're deep enough. … Defensively, you can't really let it take your mind because that's how you lose focus. It was tough, but we'll take our experience from it."
Added Ball State coach James Whitford: "The other thing that starts to happen is you start to play scared on defense. That, truth be told, bothered me as much as anything. When they start driving or start trying to make plays, you get tentative on defense because you're thinking, 'I have three or four and I'm going to foul out.' It softens your defense."
It was a frustrating game at times for the Cardinals, as no one aside from Persons could really get into any sort of rhythm with all of the fouls. Walton wound up with 13 points in just under 25 minutes, and Teague added eight before fouling out in under 22 minutes of action. And Ball State just couldn't get enough defensive rebounds as it had only two more (21) than Purdue had on the offensive glass (19). While Purdue struggled from 3-point range, going 7 of 32, many of those misses turned into long rebounds.
Persons, who nearly transferred to Purdue three years ago, thrived once again in a big-time environment with 19 points. He seemed to get stronger with every bucket in the first half as he quieted the 14,804 fans in attendance. It reinforced the fact that when Persons has it going, the Cardinals can compete with some of the best teams in the country.
The challenge for Ball State, though, is what happens when Persons doesn't have it going? Persons went scoreless in the second half, missing all five of his shots after hitting 5 of 8 in the first half.
"I think we all love it when he's going off a little bit," Mallers said. "It makes my job easier and everyone else's job a little easier. But when he's not going, we have to get in our offense, and we discussed that. It was fun to see that in the first half, him knocking down shots and doing what he does.
"In the first half, Tayler had it going, but in the second half, we were like, OK, we should get some ball movement and try to get (Matt) Haarms in some ball screens. I don't think we did a great job of executing that."
Purdue guard Nojel Eastern used his length to shut down Persons in the second half. It was easy to spot the two smiling after one would say something and then fist bumping after plays. Afterward, the 6-foot-6 guard had nothing but good things to say about Persons.
"We were talking it out, just being competitive," Eastern said. "I was trying to stay in his head and continue to put pressure on him the whole game.
"It wasn't really trash talk, it was just being competitive. I feel like he's a good dude. He's a great player. We were just talking throughout the whole game. (Not) trash talk, nothing that you're not good or anything like that. We were just saying how we competed and how we loved that. Shout-out to him as well. … Even if we're on opposite teams, we're still people."
Near upset aside, Ball State left with plenty to work on, but still feeling good about itself as it opens with No. 15 Virginia Tech on Thursday in the Charleston Classic. They'll have to rebound better against teams like Purdue and – ahem – Buffalo.
"We have to learn to match that," Persons said. "This is the type of team we have to beat in March. We have some good teams in our league, and this is going to help us out."
Halftime: Purdue 42, Ball State 41. Cardinals hanging in despite rotation being all out of whack due to foul trouble.
Tayler Persons has 19 points on 5 of 8 shooting, no one else with more than 5. Ball State is 6 of 13 from 3.
Carsen Edwards leads Purdue with 14.
Ball State leads Purdue 24-23 with 7:50 left in the first half. Tayler Persons has 12 points on 3 of 3 from the floor and 5 of 6 from the line.
Most concerning for BSU: Hazen has three fouls, while Teague, Moses and Mallers have two. Zach Gunn could be in for big minutes.
After Brachen Hazen splashes a 3 to tie it up at 20, he's called for his third foul. Matt Haarms trying to foul out this whole team.

Westchester Medical Center reverified as Level I trauma center
MidHudson Regional Hospital Published 10:54 a.m. ET April 26, 2018 | Updated 2:49 p.m. ET Nov. 5, 2019

Westchester Medical Center and Maria Fareri Children's Hospital recently received reverification of the hospitals' Level I trauma statuses – the highest level awarded by the Committee on Trauma of the American College of Surgeons – for both its adult and pediatric trauma centers.
Both members of the Westchester Medical Center Health Network (WMCHealth), Westchester Medical Center and Maria Fareri Children's Hospital are the only Level I trauma center in the Hudson Valley to serve both adult and pediatric patients. The two WMCHealth facilities care for the most severely injured adults and children in the region and beyond and are among the premier providers of Level I trauma care nationally.
"We are proud to receive this prestigious reverification of our Regional Level I trauma designation from the American College of Surgeons for Westchester Medical Center and Maria Fareri Children's Hospital," said Rifat Latifi, MD, Director of Surgery and Chief of General Surgery at WMCHealth. "Our trauma program continues to grow academically, clinically and across the region with the expertise of adult and pediatric trauma surgeons who work with a multi-disciplinary team to provide the highest quality lifesaving care to Hudson Valley patients when they need it most."
The trauma teams at Westchester Medical Center and Maria Fareri Children's Hospital include trauma and critical care-trained surgeons, as well as emergency medicine, neurosurgery, orthopedics, anesthesiology, radiology, nursing, blood bank, rehabilitation and operating room teams.
Almost 1,500 adults and 350 children are cared for each year, with more than 900 trauma activations annually. The vast majority of cases involve blunt trauma, though patients also receive multidisciplinary care for penetrating and thermal injuries, among others.
In New York State, trauma centers are categorized as regional trauma centers, the highest designation serving the highest acuity of patients, or area trauma centers. Trauma centers are assessed and undergo an extensive review process every three years to earn and maintain the Level I trauma designation. Criteria for Level I trauma verification status includes academic research, outreach and injury prevention efforts. The reverification review for the Valhalla campus showed exemplary performance, with zero deficiencies reported.
In addition to the Level I adult and pediatric trauma centers in Valhalla, WMCHealth is also home to the Hudson Valley's first and only American College of Surgeons designated Level II trauma Center at MidHudson Regional Hospital in Poughkeepsie. All three hospitals also provide trauma care in a telemedicine format, offering remote trauma assistance to patients at other hospitals – including network affiliates in Kingston and Margaretville – when time is of the essence and distance is a barrier to immediate advanced level trauma care. WMCHealth also offers telemedicine in its STAT mobile ICU ambulances to help provide the most immediate care to patients while en route to the hospital.

For several years, I have been reading the Bible through, from Genesis to Revelation, once a year. Every year, I read different Bibles and versions. I read the KJV, NKJV, NIV, NASV, etc. There were times when I finished reading the entire Bible days before the year ends and there were time when I had to speed up my reading hours before the New Year begins. It's been fun, informing, enlightening and transforming. At times it's tough to read the Old Testament Laws in Leviticus-Deuteronomy. And reading the list of names or places in Numbers and Chronicles were not entertaining. The oracle and prophecy found in Major and Minor Prophets are also boring to read. It's the Word of God, nonetheless.
Now that Bible apps are available electronically, I do most of my Bible reading in my Kindle Fire and currently reading the ESV.
Pastors and ministers are criticized for being active on social media. I believe that being active on social media does not make one less spiritual, although I have to admit that FB is time-consuming and emotionally draining at times. But just because I am active on Facebook does not mean I am inactive in His Book. Being active on Facebook does not make one lazy reading the Book. Having Facebook account, allows me to connect with people at the same time it makes me real person.
It's an undeniable reality that Facebook reinforces one's narcissistic nature. Have you forgotten that we are by nature selfish? For many the desire to go to heaven bears narcissistic tendency. People want to go there because they don't want to go to hell. They do good things not because it feels good to help others but also to earn eternal reward.

It is difficult to describe what exactly I did for Ipos today. I carried his disk on my keychain and handled it whenever I changed clothes, but otherwise focused on the practical aspects of relaxation today. I took a nap, I played with pencil crayons and markers, and did very little else. Lately there's been little chance to indulge in days like this, so I wasn't going to pass it up. I hope everyone had a great weekend!

Q: Prove that $n! > n^{3}$ for every integer $n \ge 6$ using induction Proof.
Base case. When $n = 6$, LHS = $6! = 720$ and RHS = $6^{3} =  216$. Thus LHS > RHS.
Inductive step. Assume that $m! > m^{3}$ for some fixed integer $m$ such that $m \ge 6$. We must show that it also holds true for $(m+1)$, i.e, $(m+1)! > (m+1)^{3}$. Observe that
\begin{align*}
(m+1)! &= (m+1) \cdot m! \\
&> (m+1) \cdot m^{3} \text{$\quad$(by the inductive hypothesis)}\\
\end{align*}
(still unfinished)

I know it boils down to showing that $(m+1) \cdot m^{3} > (m+1)^{3}$ but I'm unsure on how to proceed.

A: If you want to show $(m+1)\cdot m^3>(m+1)^3$, this is equivalent to
$$m^3>(m+1)^2.$$
As $m>2$, this is implied by
$$2m^2>(m+1)^2,$$
which is equivalent to
$$m^2>2m+1$$
or
$$(m-1)^2>2,$$
which is true if $m\geq 3$.
(Note that if you were to write this up it would be clearer if you started from $(m-1)^2>2$, which you know is true, and worked back to $m^3>(m+1)^2$ -- this writeup serves to help make clear how one would come up with this.)

Q: Publish network shared storage to Windows network Mac OS X uses Bonjour (multicast DNS) to publish shared folder service to local network. And, newly joined Mac OS X laptop automatically find shared storages very quickly and easily.
In case of Windows, I think NetBIOS BROWSE is used to publish shared folder service to Windows local network. But, from time to time, shared storage is not shown in Windows network browser.
Could you please explain how Windows can publish it's shared folder to local network? Any way to improve it?

A: "Publishing" and mDNS is a bad idea in general. Yes it's very useful for completely unmanaged networks and people who want things to "just work" without regard for security, reliability, maintainability, administration, or any of the 'tools' Professional Administrators use to ensure available, productive, scalable systems.
Windows 7 and Server 2008 R2 come with Link Layer Discovery Protocol built in for mapping the local network. The protocol is sufficient for finding other enabled devices on a network and is used as a last resort, after every protocol that has the slightest shred of reliability or manageability.

Counterions at Charged Polymers
This work explores the equilibrium and non-equilibrium statistical mechanics of small charged particles (counterions) at oppositely charged polymers and cylindrical surfaces. Processes involving charged polymers and their neutralizing counterions are ubiquitous in soft-matter and biological systems, where electrostatic interactions result in an impressive variety of phenomena. The interplay between electrostatic interactions, that attract counterions towards charged polymers, and the entropy gained by counterions upon dissolution leads to a critical counterion-condensation transition, which is the central theme of this thesis. The universal and critical features of this transition are investigated in equilibrium conditions using both analytical approaches and a novel Monte-Carlo simulation method. The critical exponents as well as the singular behavior associated with thermodynamic quantities are determined and demonstrated to be universal and in accord with mean-field theory in two and three spatial dimensions. The statistical correlation between counterions comes into play below the critical temperature, where counterions are strongly bound to the oppositely charged surface of the polymer (condensation phase). It is shown using asymptotic analysis that in the strong-coupling limit, which is realized by high-valency counterions or highly charged surfaces, electrostatic correlations dominate and result in an effective electrostatic attraction between two like-charged cylinders. Such attractive pair interactions are in striking contrast with the standard, purely repulsive mean-field interactions, and can trigger aggregation and phase instability in solutions of highly charged macroions. Another relevant system, in which counterions play a decisive role and will be subject of theoretical investigation in the present work, are charged polymer brushes, that consist of densely end-grafted polymer chains onto a surface. It is shown that the coupling between osmotic pressure of counterions trapped inside the brush and the polymer length variation due to the chain elasticity leads to a weak grafting-density dependence for the brush layer thickness. This behavior goes beyond the standard scaling theories. It has been observed in recent experiments and simulations, which are compared with the present theoretical results. Finally, to investigate the non-equilibrium dynamics of counterions at charged polymers, Brownian Dynamics simulation techniques are employed both in the presence and absence of hydrodynamic interactions between constituent particles. In particular, the influence of counterion condensation on the electrophoretic mobility of a charged polymer and its counterions is studied under the action of small and large external electric fields. It is shown that hydrodynamic interactions enhance the polymer mobility but substantially reduce the mobility of counterions. In fact, counterions located in the immediate vicinity of the charged polymer are found to be dragged along with the polymer. It is shown using different charge pattern models that the local structural details of the polymer chain, such as the charge spacing, can drastically affect the mobility of counterions and the charged polymer itself.

Yesterday we posted a story about how, in its own way, the EU could be worse than a tsunami in its long-term effects on the third world.
In that story, we mentioned the plight of Kenyan farmers and, by a strange coincidence, an update of our original story, posted on 4 August, has appeared in Kenya's Standard newspaper.
It appears that the situation has got considerably worse as local horticultural producers are giving up the unequal struggle with EU-inspired red tape and their production is being taken over by importers from the industrialised countries.
These importers now control 40 percent of the export market and are threatening to lock out smallholders from the lucrative EU market, grabbing the lions' share of the £160 million export trade in fresh fruits, vegetables and cut-flowers for themselves.
Before the horticultural export boom in the 1990s, smallholders produced 70 percent of vegetables and fruits shipped from Kenya but as the scale of exports has grown, the share has dwindled. Now the Food and Agricultural Organisation (FAO) is worried that local producers are being marginalised by multinationals who are establishing their own farms in the developing countries.
FAO says in its 2004 report that by the end of the 1990s, 40 percent of the produce was grown on farms owned or leased directly by importers in the developed countries. Another 42 percent was produced by large commercial farmers while small-holders produced a meagre 18 per cent.
In the wake of this report comes rising anxiety that that stringent market access conditions into the EU – some of which come into force next year – are going to make the situation even worse. Most of the requirements are difficult for smallholders to meet and it is estimated that £16 million is needed to help them comply.
All farmers growing produce for the EU market must provide full evidence of traceability and demonstrate that minimum environmental and hygiene standards were observed.
It is not so much meeting the standards and producing the paperwork which is causing the problems, which are made worse by the requirement for the EU to approve the agrochemical products used – an impossible requirement for small scale farmers because all generic chemicals used locally are banned in the EU.
So much for the caring-sharing EU. With its obsession for bureaucracy, it is gradually killing off local farmers in Kenya, just as its own CAP has been progressively wiping out small farmers in EU member states. And all this is done in the name of "health 'n' safety". But whose health, and whose safety?
