Welfare Party of India launched
Syed Qasim Rasul Ilyas has been named the general-secretary of the new political party, while Lalitha Naik, Father Abraham Joseph, Zafarul Islam Khan, Abdul Wahab Khilji and Ilyas Azmi will be the vice presidents, a press statement said.
Salam Vaniyambalam has been appointed the treasurer while the two secretaries will be Rama Pancha and PC Hamza, the former national president of Students Islamic Organization of India (SIO).
Farooque joined Jamaat during his student days. A former state president of Jamaat in Maharashtra, he has been actively involved in various social, economic and political activities.
Speaking to reporters Ilyas, who is also a Shourah member of the JIH, said the new political party would be a secular party with members drawn from different religions, regions and castes. "The JIH has spared some of its members to participate in the party," he added.
The new party is likely to test political waters in the Uttar Pradesh assembly election next year. "We are ready to align with like-minded groups and initiate discussion with them," said Farooque. Jamaat has welcomed Dalits and other backward castes to join the party.
The Welfare Party of India aims at reforming Indian politics and realizing a welfare state based on moral values and governed by the principles of justice, freedom, equality and fraternity.
"To achieve this objective, the party will launch massive public campaigns and will awaken the socio-political public consciousness," a Jamaat official said. "It will try to inculcate among the common people the self esteem, the self confidence and the ambition and courage to fight oppression and exploitation. It will try to promote able and virtuous leadership among masses and advance alternative politics in the country," he added.

Gerry McCann: 'Predator' was watching Madeleine before she vanished
Last updated at 18:35 18 November 2007
Gerry McCann has spoken of his belief that "a predator" was watching his family in the days before his daughter Madeleine's disappearance.
In the personal video, filmed by a family friend in August and to be screened on the BBC's Panorama programme, he speaks about a "window of opportunity" taken by an abductor.
The thought made him and his wife Kate "sick to the core", he said.
Mr McCann said that before Madeleine disappeared, he and his wife became concerned by the security at the back of their Praia da Luz holiday apartment when "maybe the weak spots were at the front".
In the footage, filmed in Portugal by friend Jon Corner, he said: "It's a corner flat with trees overlooking it. Somebody could be hiding there or watching out of view."
He added: "I've no doubt that Madeleine was targeted and that makes us sick to the core to think that someone was watching us and our daughter and then targeted her. I think the true word is a predator.
"But you just don't think there's any trouble and it's certainly the furthest thing from our mind."
Also in the film, Mrs McCann talks of the pressures posed by the campaign to find Madeleine and her regret at leaving their children alone in the apartment on the night of May 3.
She said: "There's not a textbook about it, is there? Like what to do when your daughter gets abducted.
"It's awful and horrible for anyone to have to go through and we are just doing what we think is best."
Panorama: The Mystery Of Madeleine McCann will screen on BBC One at 9pm tomorrow.

Пелека́нос () — село в номе Козани в периферии Западная Македония Греции (дим Аскио). В 2001 году население Пелеканоса было 523 человека.

Село имеет некоторую известность благодаря производимому здесь красному вину.

История
По мнению некоторых исследователей, здесь в Византийскую эпоху была крепость Пелекон, но археологических подтверждений этой гипотезы пока нет.

До 1928 года Пелка (). В 1900 году здесь проживало 580 жителей, все — греки-христиане . В 1904 году по статистическим данным в Пелке — 585 грекоковорящих.. В 1905 году по данным секретаря Болгарской екзархии Димитра Мишева в Пелке проживало 575 греков.

In the Washington metro area and New York City, the weather that morning was warm and the skies were a picturesque blue. News that a plane had hit the World Trade Center diverted our attention, recalled Connolly, a member of Congress whose district includes Vienna, Va.
In Vienna and throughout America on Sept. 11, patriots paused to remember those who lost their lives on the 17th anniversary of the terrorist attacks. Post 180 Commander Jason Feimster, a post-9/11 Marine Corps veteran, presided over the ceremony, which was attended by about 60 fellow veterans, police officers, community members and others.
He worried aloud about whether time has diminished the memories of that day.
That's exactly why Post 180 has led the community's 9/11 remembrance ceremony on each anniversary since the tragedy occurred.
Dellinger noted the event is one way that the Legion post adheres to the mission.
Retired Army Col. Glenn Snodgrass echoed those sentiments during his keynote address.
Snodgrass also paid tribute to those continuing to serve, acknowledging attacks have been prevented and lives have been saved since 9/11.


FBI Agents, data scientists at Google, the Marines, and folks at Disney racing against the clock to rewrite and come up with an ending to Frozen are just some of the people who all have the same problems you and I do but have hacked human productivity. Smarter Faster Better: The Secrets of Being Productive in Life and Business is their story and Charles Duhigg explains how we can do the same using SMART goals, Agile methodology, mental models and a few other key innovative approaches.
If Stephen J. Dubner and Steven Levitt (Freakonomics) and Malcolm Gladwell (Blink, The Tipping Point) combined forces, this book would be it. Charles Duhigg presents the latest in cutting edge neuroscience, psychology and behavioral economics through interviews and real world scenarios. If you literally want to be smarter, faster and better than what you currently are then do yourself a favor and please read this book.

Q: Get error line number and file name from which the class call was made I have a class for handling errors.
I would like to call a public static method of the class to log the errors my RPC server is throwing at me without the need to use the __LINE__ comand.
Something like this:
class errorHander{
    public static $errors = array();
    public static function logError($message){
        self::$errors[] = array('message', NEEED SOMHOW TO GET THE calling class, get the file in which the error ocured);
    }
}

And this is most important, without passing the file location from the called function.
So something like errorHander:logError(message, location) is a no go.

A: Exception::getLine and getFile methods, I donot way a way to do this without handling Exceptions.
Heres a reference.
http://www.php.net/manual/en/class.exception.php

A: Well this obviously depends on what kind of error you have.
You might want to look at exception handling. PHPs exception class offers the methods getLine() and getTrace(). This might be what you are looking for.

A: logError() need only one parameter not 2.
do something like this:
 class errorHander{
        public static $errors = array();
        public static function logError($message){
            self::$errors[] = array('message'=>$message);
        }
    }

    errorHander:logError("This is a no-yes go") //This should log

    echo errorHander:errors[0]["message"]; //print it

hope it helps

A: This is possible with the xdebug-extension: http://xdebug.org
You may use xdebug_call_file() and xdebug_call_class() to get the information you need.
See the documentation: http://xdebug.org/docs/all_functions

U.S. imposes sanctions to 7 more Russian shipping companies
in Fines

The United States imposed sanctions on 7 Russian shipping companies and dozens of vessels, following the ongoing invasion of Ukraine.
According to Antony Blinken, the U.S. Treasury and the Department of State have sanctioned the Russian Ministry of Defense's internal shipping company and 6 other shipping firms that move its military equipment. Additionally, it has listed 69 of their ships as blocked property.
The companies include:
Oboronlogistika, the Russian Ministry of Defense's own shipping company; SC South LLC, one of its shipping subsidiaries; Northern Shipping Company, which participates in Russian exercises and moves Russian military equipment; and Transmorflot, M Leasing LLC, Marine Trans Shipping LLC and Nord Project LLC Transport Company, which have all allegedly moved Russian weapons. Northern Shipping Company and Transmorflot have the greatest exposure, with 27 and 16 vessels sanctioned respectively.
As informed, the U.S. has already imposed sanctions on
the Russian Maritime Register of Shipping;
Sovcomflot, the largest shipping company in Russia; and
United Shipbuilding Corporation, the country's largest and most sophisticated shipbuilder.
In addition, the Joint Stock Company Channel One Russia, Television Station Russia-1 and Joint Stock Company NTV Broadcasting Company have been blacklisted and therefore cannot earn foreign revenue for the Russian state. What is more, top executives from a broad range of Russian corporations, including the entire board of Sberbank, Russia's largest bank, have been individually named on the sanctions list.
A few days ago, Maersk announced that it has stopped all vessel operations in Russia and service with Belarus, while at the same time it is "winding down" its domestic operations in both countries.

The Jaguar cichlid fish is known as Parachromis managuensis formerly and is native to Central America. These cichlids are beauty and it's no wonder why their called jaguar's because their coloration and pattern literally look like the big cats known as jaguars. Other nicknames for this cichlid fish include Jaguar Guapote.
Jaguar cichlid fish are very common in the hobby and are what is called staple cichlids offered for sale in pet stores. Like other substratum spawning cichlids P. managuensis fish lay there egg on a hard surface and the male fertilizes the eggs. They breed no different than let's say convict cichlids or jack Dempsey fish; they just require larger tanks and the approximate roommates.
These cichlids are relatively easy to spawn and they can produce thousands of fry and the parents are highly protective of them. They will protect their spawn and confront the glass when approached. To be fair to this species considering buying a large tank and be prepared to do frequent water changes. Pairs form lasting bonds and are great parents.

Stroudsburg Man Sentenced to 20 Years Imprisonment for Conspiracy to Commit Sex Trafficking
On January 3, 2020, U.S. District Court Judge Malachy E. Mannion sentenced Stroudsburg resident Sirvonn Taylor, age 37, to 20 years imprisonment for leading a conspiracy to commit sex trafficking and selling over a kilogram of heroin in Pennsylvania and Maine. Additionally, Taylor faces eight years of supervised release following his prison sentence, and he must comply with sex offender registration and notification requirements.
According to the United States Attorney's Office, Taylor, who went by the gang name "Black", was a member of the Black P-Stones. The Black P-Stones are a street gang in which male members are "beaten-in" and female members are "sexed-in" to the gang. The gang recruited and coerced female members to engage in prostitution using threats, force, drugs, and intimidation. They advertised the women as adult escorts online, using hotels and motels to sex traffic them. The CSE Institute has previously covered the convictions and sentencing of other members of this gang.
Gang controlled sex trafficking is a common subset of sex trafficking as a whole – occurring in a majority of states. Gang trafficking offers a "familial" structure with all of members acting as traffickers, which causes additional confusion for victims. As with pimp-controlled trafficking, many trafficked persons do not see themselves as victims because of the manipulation tactics and fraudulent relationships that were used to draw them in. Many women view being prostituted as their "role" as members within the gang; however, they are viewed as property by the other members, not an equal partner. According to Shared Hope International, gangs can make as much as $450,000 per year per trafficking victim.
The CSE Institute commends the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Pennsylvania State Police, Maine State Police, Monroe County District Attorney's Office, and Monroe County Police Department for their collaborative efforts throughout the investigation and their commitment to curbing gang violence. They came together for this case as a part of Project Safe Neighborhoods, a nationwide initiative focused on creating comprehensive solutions to the most pressing violent crime problems in communities. We also encourage authorities to focus on pursuing sex buyers who fuel the commercial sex industry. This strategy, known as the Nordic Model, attacks the demand for prostituted persons while decriminalizing prostituted persons themselves. Sadly, as long as there is demand from sex buyers, traffickers will find a way to exploit others to make a profit.

Q: Incorrect syntax near '=' ... Error in .ashx file I am trying to retrieve an image from database & showing it to gridview.But It shows the  Error in .ashx file that
SqlCommand command = new SqlCommand(
    "select Image from ImageStore where ImageID=" + imageid, connection);
SqlDataReader dr = command.ExecuteReader(); dr.Read();
context.Response.BinaryWrite((Byte[])dr[0]);

Incorrect syntax near '='

How to solve it

A: As you haven't posted the code, am assuming you use an .aspx file and you have already rendered gridview control and all. Make sure you have added image control using
<asp:Image ID="imgPhoto" runat="server"
                ImageUrl =
               '<%#"ImageHttpHandler.ashx?ProductID="+Eval("ProductID")%>'/>
HTTP handlers have access to the application context. This includes the requesting user's identity (if known), application state, and session information. When an HTTP handler is requested, ASP.NET calls the ProcessRequest method of the appropriate handler. The code that you write in the handler's ProcessRequest method creates a response, which is sent back to the requesting browser.
Use return stmt in the method of getting image as
        return (Byte[])dtProductsPhoto.Rows[0][0];

Make sure you have registered the handler in Web.config file using
  <httpHandlers>
  <add verb="*" path="*ImageHttpHandler.ashx"
                  type="GridView.ImageHttpHandler,GridView" />

Hope it works...

A: Do something like this:
if(imageid != null)
{
    SqlCommand command = new SqlCommand("
          select Image from ImageStore where ImageID=" + imageid, connection);
    SqlDataReader dr = command.ExecuteReader();
    dr.Read();
    context.Response.BinaryWrite((Byte[])dr[0]);
}
else
{
    SqlCommand command = new SqlCommand("
          select Image from ImageStore where ImageID=0", connection);
    SqlDataReader dr = command.ExecuteReader();
    dr.Read();
    context.Response.BinaryWrite((Byte[])dr[0]);
}

DEPARTMENTAL COMPREHENSIVE SPENDING REVIEW: THE NATIONAL FOREST COMPANY
The Rationale behind The National Forest Company
The National Forest Company (NFC) was established as a company limited by guarantee and as a Non Departmental Public Body in April 1995. This followed considerable research and deliberation as to the nature of the organisation that should be set up to undertake the implementation of the National Forest Strategy that had been approved by Government following wide public consultation.
These investigations were undertaken by the Development Team specifically employed by the Countryside Commission to plan and test the feasibility of a new National Forest in the Midlands. Work was commissioned by the Development Team from KPMG Management Consulting to analyse the various organisational options and this was incorporated into the Business Plan submitted to Government in November 1992.
The KPMG report identified the functions proposed for the organisation and the powers it would need to fulfil them. The specified functions could be grouped into four generic categories:
— public policy;
— direct action;
— operation of the National Forest Tender Scheme; and
— fundraising and trading.
It was concluded that no existing public or private agency had the necessary remit or powers to embrace the wide range of functions and interests that the National Forest was to encompass in the implementation of the Strategy by the means envisaged. A new organisation with the specific remit of realising the National Forest was recommended and this recommendation was accepted.
The not-for-profit company, limited by guarantee, was seen to offer the best way to ensure the National Forest organisation focused clearly, and without distraction, on achieving the Forest objectives. This was seen to be a powerful argument in the light of the decision that the organisation should operate principally in an enabling and facilitating capacity. It was also seen to offer the potential to be more flexible and light-footed than a statutory body. The disadvantages were seen to be in discharging the important public policy functions and the question of public accountability.
It was proposed that the new organisation should be funded and facilitated in its work from a variety of sources in the public, private and voluntary sectors but that its core functions and the Tender Scheme it was to pioneer and administer would be directly supported by Government. Clear lines of accountability were therefore required and thus NDPB status was conferred with direct responsibility to the sponsoring Department, the then DoE, now DETR. The Secretary of State became a Member of the Company together with the Minister of Agriculture as Minister with responsibility for forestry in England. Thus the necessary public accountability was ensured.

BOSTON (CBS) — Getting perfect weather in April for the Boston Marathon is not easy. Perfect weather is defined differently among the racers and the spectators but I think everyone will agree that last year's Boston Marathon weather was terrible. Despite last year's steady and penetrating cold rain, statistically, the chance of rain falling during a Boston Marathon is only about 10 percent!
So it would be rather unusual to get two consecutive Boston Marathons featuring drenching rain. While the risk of early morning downpours and the threat of lightning is possible, the good news is there looks to be a period of drier weather with warm and humid conditions for the runners and spectators before another risk of an isolated shower later this afternoon.
Temperatures will be MUCH higher than last year by 20 degrees or more during the day! The higher humidity will definitely be noticeable as well in the morning.
The wind will not be a real big factor until late in the afternoon when westerly winds will ramp up to 15-30 mph with some gusts to 40-50 mph possible by late afternoon into the evening. Presently, the setup is favoring a cross wind mainly blowing from right to left but speeds should be mainly in the 10-25 mph range through the morning into the afternoon before a cold front arrives and changes the wind direction to a strengthening tail wind near or after 4 p.m.
If the current trend continues, much of the rain SHOULD exit Hopkinton by 8-9 a.m. and eastward along the entire race course to be out of Boston near or just after 9-10 a.m.
After that, the overcast could thin and break to allow some splashes of sunshine between passing clouds. As a cold frontal boundary approaches from the west during the afternoon, a few scattered showers and possibly a relatively narrow string of them will transit across the state between 2-5 p.m. The rain could briefly be heavy with spotty lightning possible and the rain would last no more than 20-30 minutes in any one location.
The wind will increase and become gusty later this afternoon. Damaging gusts 40 to 50 mph are possible. A Wind Advisory will go into effect at 2 p.m in central Mass. and 4 p.m. for the Boston metro area and continue through 8 a.m. Tuesday.
Conditions: Generally cloudy with a decreasing risk of any remaining rain.
Temperature: 60-62 degrees and quite humid in Hopkinton.
Wind: South-southwesterly at 10-15 mph. mostly a cross wind from right to left.
Conditions: Generally cloudy with some brightening and peeks of sunshine possible.
Temperature: 62-64 degrees and gradually turning less humid in Hopkinton.
Wind: Southwesterly at 10-15 mph more of a tail wind component developing.
Temperature: 63-65 along the race route with decreasing humidity.
Wind: Southwesterly at 10-15 more of a tail wind component much of the time.
Conditions: Intervals of sunshine between passing clouds with a slight risk of a quick passing shower.
Temperature: Climbing to the middle to upper 60s along the race course but the air will be much drier.
Wind: Southwesterly at 12-25 mph… tail wind component much of the time.
Conditions: Possible intervals of sunshine yielding to building clouds followed by a higher risk of a moderate to heavy shower perhaps with some lightning in a few locations somewhere in the time frame of 3-4:30 p.m.
Temperature: Upper 60s to lower 70s probable with low humidity.
Wind: Southwest to west wind at 12-28 mph… mostly more of a tail wind. Beware that the wind will increase to 20-35 mph with some gusts to 40-50 mph by 5 p.m. and beyond into the evening from the west.
Marathon officials will be working in conjunction with the National Weather Service, WBZ-TV, and MEMA to ensure the safety of everyone along the race route.
WBZ-TV is the exclusive local broadcaster of the Boston Marathon. Pre-race coverage begins at 7 a.m. followed by race coverage at 9 a.m. WBZ-TV's coverage will be streaming here on CBSBoston.com beginning at 9 a.m. The stream is limited to New England.


We want you to have options – while you've started your membership with one charging method, you may find that it doesn't work best for you and your patrons.
With great power, comes great responsibility– communicating big changes, like how you charge your patrons is key to maintaining trust within your community and retaining patrons. We recommend giving your patrons advanced notice and making the change at the start of the next month, once the billing cycle has passed (on the 1st of each month, Pacific time).
Note: Charge up front is a permanent change to how you bill your patrons. Once you've enabled charge up front billing, you won't be able to switch to a different billing cycle. Want to know more about charge up front billing before you make the switch? Here's where you can learn more.
Step 1: While logged in to your account, navigate to your page editor.
Step 2: Select payments from the top menu.
Step 3: Toggle between per creation or monthly and save your changes.
Note: If you are switching to per creation, be sure to say what you'll be creating (i.e. per photo, per song, per video, per episode… you get the point ).
What if I'm switching from per creation to monthly in the middle of the month?
If you already have paid posts created this month we suggest that you switch to monthly at the start of next month - this will ensure that you charge your patrons for any paid posts you have already made this month.
Note: When you switch to a monthly campaign mid-month you are removing any paid posts you created earlier that month.
What happens to my patrons' monthly maxes?
When you switch to a monthly billing cycle, your patrons will be billed once on the 1st of each month. Posts can no longer be "paid," so any pending bills for paid posts are removed from patrons' accounts.
Tip: This is another great reason to keep your patrons informed! They may want to increase their payment and join a higher tier. Say they were at your $5.00 tier with a monthly max of 2 creations per month, they may want to increase to your $10.00 tier since they'll only be charged once per month.
If you decide to switch back to billing per creation, your patrons would automatically be given a monthly max of one. They would need to log in to their accounts in order to edit this if they would like it to be more.
What if I'm switching from monthly to per creation in the middle of the month?
When you switch your page from monthly to per creation in the middle of the month, your patrons will automatically be given a monthly max of 1 paid post.
Existing patrons would need to log in to their accounts in order to edit this if they would like to to increase their monthly max.
Pro tip: If you're planning to change how you charge your patrons because you'll be releasing more content, they may decide to pay more. Giving your patrons the scoop on why your making a change, will make them feel more involved in your community.

51 / 124 = 0.411
The basis of converting 51/124 to a decimal begins understanding why the fraction should be handled as a decimal. Decimals and Fractions represent parts of numbers, giving us the ability to represent smaller numbers than the whole. But in some cases, fractions make more sense, i.e., cooking or baking and in other situations decimals make more sense as in leaving a tip or purchasing an item on sale. If we need to convert a fraction quickly, let's find out how and when we should.
The first step in converting fractions is understanding the equation. A quick trick to convert fractions mentally is recognizing that the equation is already set for us. All we have to do is think back to the classroom and leverage long division. Fractions have two parts: Numerators on the top and Denominators on the bottom with a division symbol between or 51 divided by 124. To solve the equation, we must divide the numerator (51) by the denominator (124). This is our equation:
Numerators represent the number of parts being taken from a denominator. Overall, 51 is a big number which means you'll have a significant number of parts to your equation. The bad news is that it's an odd number which makes it harder to covert in your head. Large two-digit conversions are tough. Especially without a calculator. So how does our denominator stack up?
Denominators represent the total number of parts, located below the vinculum or fraction bar. 124 is a large number which means you should probably use a calculator. The good news is that having an even denominator makes it divisible by two. Even if the numerator can't be evenly divided, we can estimate a simplified fraction. Ultimately, don't be afraid of double-digit denominators. Now it's time to learn how to convert 51/124 to a decimal.
Converting 51/124 to 0.411
We will be using the left-to-right method of calculation. This is the same method we all learned in school when dividing any number against itself and we will use the same process for number conversion as well.
Because 124 into 51 will equal less than one, we can't divide less than a whole number. So we will have to extend our division problem. Add a decimal point to 51, your numerator, and add an additional zero. Now 124 will be able to divide into 510.
Now that we've extended the equation, we can divide 124 into 510 and return our first potential solution! Multiply this number by 124, the denominator to get the first part of your answer!
$$ \require{enclose} 00.4 \\ 124 \enclose{longdiv}{ 51.0 } \\ \underline{ 496 \phantom{00} } \\ 14 \phantom{0} $$
If you hit a remainder of zero, the equation is done and you have your decimal conversion. If you have a remainder over 124, go back. Your solution will need a bit of adjustment. If you have a number less than 124, continue!
Remember, sometimes you won't get a remainder of zero and that's okay. Round to the nearest digit and complete the conversion. There you have it! Converting 51/124 fraction into a decimal is long division just as you learned in school.
Converting between fractions and decimals depend on the life situation you need to represent numbers. Remember, fractions and decimals are both representations of whole numbers to determine more specific parts of a number. This is also true for percentages. It's common for students to hate learning about decimals and fractions because it is tedious. But 51/124 and 0.411 bring clarity and value to numbers in every day life. Without them, we're stuck rounding and guessing. Here are real life examples:
Pay & Salary - Anything to do with finance or salary will leverage decimal format. If you look at your pay check, you will see your labor is worth $20.41 per hour and not $20 and 51/124.
When to convert 0.411 to 51/124 as a fraction
Progress - If we were writing an essay and the teacher asked how close we are to done. We wouldn't say .5 of the way there. We'd say we're half-way there. A fraction here would be more clear and direct.
If 51/124 = 0.411 what would it be as a percentage?
What is 0.411 + 1/2?
What is 41/142 as a decimal? What is 104/164 as a decimal? What is 80/217 as a decimal? What is 72/21 as a decimal? What is 162/142 as a decimal? What is 143/213 as a decimal? What is 36/125 as a decimal? What is 177/102 as a decimal? What is 162/84 as a decimal? What is 20/88 as a decimal?

The Ramesseum medical papyri constitute a collection of ancient Egyptian medical documents dating back to the early 18th century BC, found in the temple of the Ramesseum.  As with most ancient Egyptian medical papyri, these documents mainly dealt with ailments, diseases, the structure of the body, and proposed remedies used to heal these afflictions, namely ophthalmologic ailments, gynaecology, muscles, tendons, and diseases of children.  It is the only well-known papyrus to describe these in great detail.  Most of the text written in the known manuscripts of this collection are in parts III, IV, and V, and written in vertical columns.

Papyrus IV deals with issues similar to the Kahun Gynecological Papyrus, such as labor, the protection of the newborn, ways to predict the likelihood of its survival, and ways to predict which gender the newborn will be. It also contains a contraception formula.

Papyrus V contains numerous prescriptions dealing with the relaxation of limbs, written in hieroglyphic script, rather than hieratic script as other medical papyri were.

Comet is seen running 450,000 miles per hour in new footage from the only eclipse
The comet is seen traveling 450,000 miles per hour through the sun's intense radiation in new footage from the solar eclipse
A newly discovered comet was seen flying by the sun during the solar eclipse
The comet was the size of a semi-truck and traveled 450,000 miles per hour
It was 2.7 million miles from the sun when it dissolved in the radiation

A newly discovered comet was seen flying 2.7 million miles from the sun in last week's solar eclipse before dissolving into dust particles from the intense radiation.
Named C / 2020 X3 (SOHO), the comet was discovered by an amateur astronomer who aimed through satellite data the day before the total solar eclipse on 14 December.
The comet was part of the Kreutz sungrazer family, descended from a large parent comet that broke into smaller fragments thousands of years ago.
C / 2020 X3 appears as a small spot flying through the sky, but experts say it traveled about 450,000 miles per hour as it whispered past Earth's giant star.

A newly discovered comet was seen flying 2.7 million miles from the sun during last week's solar eclipse before dissolving in the intense radiation
The comet was discovered by Thai amateur astronomer Worachate Boonplod on the NASA-funded Sungrazer project.
This organization is a civil science project that invites everyone to search for and discover new comets in images from the Common European Space Agency (ESA) and NASA Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO).
When the comet was first discovered, Boonplod expected it to streak across the sky during the solar eclipse, and that it would appear as a small spot in photos – and he was right.
On December 14, the comet was a small bright dot in images of the solar eclipse.
The comet was part of the Kreutz sungrazer family, descended from a large parent comet that broke into smaller fragments thousands of years ago. C / 2020 X3 appears as a small spot flying through the sky, but experts say it traveled about 450,000 miles as it whispered past Earth's giant star
Experts say it traveled about 450,000 miles per hour and measured about 50 feet in diameter – equivalent to the length of a semi-truck.
However, the comet dissolved into dust particles due to intense solar radiation a few hours before it reached its closest point to the sun.
The total solar eclipse swept across South America last week, throwing thousands in Argentina and Chile in the dark for about two minutes.
Dozens of amateur and professional astronomers put telescopes on the slopes of Villarrica – one of Chile's most active volcanoes – to observe the phenomenon.
The eclipse was to be visible along a 55-kilometer-wide corridor – running from the Pacific coast of Chile across the Andes and further into Argentina.

The event was eagerly anticipated among Chile's original Mapuche – the largest group in the southern part of the country.
"Today we were all hoping for a sunny day, but nature gave us rain and at the same time it gives us something we need," Estela Nahuelpan, a leader of the Mateo Nahuelpan community in the southern city of Carahue, told AFP .
'In Mapuche culture, the eclipse has different meanings – they speak of' Lan Antu ', as the death of the sun and the conflict between the moon and the sun.'
'It refers to the necessary balance that must exist in nature,' she explained.
In another tradition, an eclipse means the temporary death of the sun during a battle between the star and an evil force known as 'Wekufu.'

TSL to Spotlight Enhanced Power Solutions at IBC 2022
By vanessabishop 6 months ago
Brand Updates Power Distribution Units To Support New Workflows
AMSTERDAM, AUGUST 3, 2022 – As broadcasters continue to face more complex workflows, typically pulling in feeds from around the globe, be it for news, sports, entertainment or other live programming, the need for a seamless collaborative remote environment is necessary. Streamlined maintenance and minimized energy consumption has become a priority. With this in mind, TSL highlights its new Intelligent Power Distribution Units (PDUs) at IBC 2022 (Stand 10.B41).
The new Intelligent PDU's have increased functionality, offering enhanced levels of power monitoring and management, providing operators extra peace of mind with a more streamlined workflow. In addition, TSL's updated PDUs help companies meet sustainability goals as the devices can act under instruction to selectively switch off power when not in use, either remotely or onsite, further supporting flexibility and energy and cost savings.
TSL's new ethernet connected PDUs have been designed to handle up to 32 amps (A) with optional auto-failover/auto supply and lifted the entry level current from 16 to 20, as customers deploy more high-powered equipment. The new design also includes an upgrade from 12 to 14 outputs, each one capable of delivering up to 10A, enabling customers to power more units from one PDU.
With a full suite of alarms, each PDU acts as a 'window into the rack' warning of a wide variety of alarm situations, including under or over input voltage, over current, over temperature, under or over current for each outlet, fuse fail, power fail or power changeover. In addition, the units are equipped with an industry standard one-wire interface that will work with readily available third-party sensors. The new units also monitor and log input supply waveforms so that power issues can be investigated and rectified. When powering remotely sited equipment, these functions help the engineering team quickly and efficiently establish when a piece of connected equipment has failed, saving valuable time.
TSL will also be showing its Data Centre Infrastructure Monitoring (DCIM) solution, Insite, which utilizes industry standard SNMP to monitor both TSL PDUs, and any SNMP connected third party equipment, offering not just power, but complete system health monitoring.

HOUSTON -- (Oct. 19, 2015) -- A research team based in Houston's Texas Medical Center has found that the proteins that turn genes on by forming loops in human chromosomes work like the sliding plastic adjusters on a grade-schooler's backpack. This discovery could provide new clues about genetic diseases and allow researchers to reprogram cells by directly modifying the loops in genomes.
Every human cell contains a genome, a linear string of DNA. Sequences of DNA bases spell out genes, much like letters spell out words. For decades, scientists have known that genes that lie far apart on the string can activate one another by looping back and coming into contact during genome folding. Last year, the team showed that it was possible to map the positions of these loops, and the researchers created the first atlas of loops in the human genome. But the group couldn't explain how the loops were forming.
"For months, we had no idea what our data really meant," said senior author Erez Lieberman Aiden, a geneticist and computer scientist with joint appointments at Baylor and Rice. "Then one day, we realized that we'd been carrying the solution around -- literally, on our back -- for decades!"
The human genome contains more than 20,000 genes. In any given cell, only a fraction of these are active, and this fraction determines the cell's function: whether it will become a hard-pumping heart cell, a body-defending immune cell or a metastatic cancer cell. Many genes are activated by loops, and it is impossible to understand gene activation without knowing how loops form, Aiden said.
Aiden, who is also a senior investigator at Rice's Center for Theoretical Biological Physics, said the researchers found that a set of proteins acts like the plastic slider, sometimes called a tri-glide, that adjusts a backpack strap.
"The mechanism that makes this possible can be explained to any kindergartener with a backpack," said study co-first author Adrian Sanborn, a graduate student in the Aiden lab and at Stanford University. "The protein complex that forms DNA loops appears to operate like the plastic slider that is used to adjust the length of the straps: it lands on DNA and takes up slack to form a loop."
Aiden, assistant professor of genetics at Baylor and of computer science and computational and applied mathematics at Rice, said Sanborn and study co-first author Suhas Rao showed that they could combine the tri-glide model with mathematics and high-performance computation to predict how a genome will fold. The team confirmed their predictions by making tiny modifications in a cell's genome and showing that the mutations changed the folding pattern exactly as expected. Rao likened the result to a new form of genome surgery: a procedure that can modify how a genome is folded by design and with extraordinary precision.
"We found that changing even one letter in the genetic code was enough to modify the folding of millions of other letters," said Rao, a graduate student in the Aiden lab and at Stanford University. "What was stunning was that once we understood how the loops were forming, the results of these changes became extremely predictable."
"DNA encodes information, and you can think of each DNA base pair as a letter and of certain sequences of letters as words," he said. "In our data, we noticed that when particular keywords appeared, a loop would form. But the loop would only form if the two keywords were pointing at one another. For example, if one side of the loop read K-E-Y-W-O-R-D, the other would be D-R-O-W-Y-E-K."
"That's an incredibly strange thing because these words can be millions of letters apart, and the genome is flexible at that scale," said Sanborn. "If I were a protein, and I wanted to bring these two words together, it's difficult to envision why the way that the keyword is pointing would matter. This simple fact was a crucial clue."
Eventually, they hit on the tri-glide model. The basic idea is that the tri-glide protein complex lands on the genome and pulls the strand from each side so that a loop forms in the middle -- just like the loop someone might make if they wanted to tighten a backpack strap.
"The strand just keeps feeding through and feeding through from each direction until it hits the keyword, which acts like a brake," said Rao, a student in the Aiden lab and at Stanford University. "So it's not so much that the keywords need to point at one another; it's that they need to point at the tri-glide complex because the complex won't recognize them if they point the other way. To the complex, they would look upside-down."
"In the old model, scientists thought that a loop formed when two bits of the genome wiggled around and then met inside the cell nucleus," Aiden said. "But this process would lead to interweaving loops and highly entangled chromosomes. This is a big problem if you need those chromosomes to separate again when the cell divides.
"The tri-glide takes care of that," he said. "Even in a big pile of backpacks, you can use your tri-glide to make a loop without any risk of entanglement."
The research was supported by the Welch Foundation, IBM, Nvidia, the National Science Foundation, the National Institutes of Health, the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas and the McNair Medical Institute.
DESCRIPTION: Depiction of how loop extrusion packages the genome. First, an extrusion complex attaches to DNA at two nearby locations, forming a small loop. Next, two sides of the complex slide along the DNA in opposite directions while remaining tethered, growing the loop. Sliding halts when a complex encounters a specific DNA keyword, or "motif," of the matching orientation. A loop is formed, and the intervening DNA is organized into a domain.
CAPTION: The protein complex that forms DNA loops operates like the plastic slider that is used to adjust the length of backpack straps. The complex lands on DNA and takes up slack to form a loop. Researchers discovered that a specific DNA keyword called a "motif" -- a string of fewer than 20 genetic letters that causes the DNA to bind a protein called CTCF -- lies at each end of nearly all loops.

What is Fistula?
Home News Fistula is a human rights violation – end it now!
Fistula is a human rights violation – end it now!
© UNFPA Bangladesh/Asma Akter
Statement of UNFPA Executive Director Dr. Natalia Kanem on the International Day to End Obstetric Fistula, 23 May 2019
Shame, isolation and segregation are among the indignities faced by the hundreds of thousands of women and girls worldwide who suffer from obstetric fistula, an injury of the birth canal after prolonged and obstructed labour. The girls and women afflicted by the condition, which is preventable and largely treatable, are often plagued by chronic incontinence. As a result, they face devastating social stigma.
The majority of women and girls who suffer from fistula are poor. Their inability to receive prompt medical treatment not only deprives them of their health and dignity, but is a violation of their human rights.
UNFPA leads the Campaign to End Fistula. Since 2003, UNFPA has supported over 100,000 fistula repair surgeries, and campaign partners have supported thousands more, enabling women and girls in more than 55 countries across Africa, Asia, the Arab region and Latin America to regain hope and rebuild their lives.
One survivor, Nasiwelo Bisolomo, lost her baby at the age of 18 after a prolonged obstructed labour at home. She suffered from fistula for the next 46 years. She nearly had lost all hope when she heard of a UNFPA-supported fistula camp and travelled 300 km to undergo the life-transforming healing surgery. Now, she is helping spread the word that fistula treatment is available.
It is time for the world to heed the call made by United Nations Member States in the 2018 United Nations Resolution on Ending Fistula in which they committed to eradicating the condition within a decade. Yet, achieving this goal requires increased investments, innovations and partnerships. Failure to take action will undermine our chances of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, meeting the commitments of the International Conference on Population and Development, and ensuring no one is left behind.
No woman or girl should be deprived of her dignity, hopes and dreams. Fistula is a human rights violation – end it now!

This afternoon, the European Banking Authority (EBA) released the final draft of Regulatory Technical Standards (RTS) for Strong Customer Authentication (SCA) and bank application program interfaces (APIs). SCA, a critical aspect of PSD2 or revised Payments Systems Directive, adds steps to the e-commerce checkout process with the goal of increasing security.
Investor concerns on SCA have been that these additional steps to complete an e-commerce payment transaction could represent a potential headwind to Mastercard and Visa 's European e-commerce transaction volumes beginning in late 2018. For context, in 2015, Visa Europe disclosed that only 21% of its total processed volume comes from e-commerce.
Based on today's published technical standards, we continue to believe SCA represents minimal risk to Visa (ticker: V) and Mastercard (MA) given less stringent criteria for compliance introduced in this final draft.
· Raised Threshold Ticket Size: As we anticipated, the threshold of transaction ticket size required for SCA compliance in PSD2 was raised from €10 to €30.
· Transaction Risk Analysis: Also as we had written, issuers and merchants which already use "transaction risk analysis" to reduce fraud will be exempt from SCA requirements altogether for transactions up to €500 as long as certain fraud rate thresholds are met. Positively, transaction risk analysis is already a mainstream approach for card issuers to identify and prevent fraud for e-commerce transactions. Thus, the exemption will become the rule, in our view.
· Transaction Risk Analysis Criteria: According to the final draft, payment service providers, i.e., card issuers which use fraud monitoring mechanisms on a real-time basis qualify for the transaction risk analysis exemption. Such mechanisms include identifying spending patterns of the consumer, monitoring transaction history and establishing location of customer during payment transaction, among other items.
· Next Steps: The final RTS draft will be submitted to the European Commission for adoption and will be examined by the European Parliament before being published in the Official Journal of the European Union. The RTS will be applicable 18 months after its entry into force, suggesting an application date in November 2018 at the earliest.
· Reiterate Buy ratings on Mastercard and Visa. Over the next several years, both Mastercard and Visa should gain substantial processed transactions market share versus local European payment networks.
· The final draft can be found here.

30 Secrets About Stranger Things Revealed
16. Natalia Dyer and Charlie Heaton, who play love interests Nancy and Jonathan, began dating in 2016, but have mostly kept their relationship private.
"That's something important to me—with my family, with my friends, I really like to keep it for me," Dyer told Refinery 29 in 2019, though she did admit, "It's an interesting thing to work with somebody who you go home with. It's always really fun."
17. Believe it or not, two fan-favorite characters were not supposed to make it out of seaso one alive, including Joe Keery's well-coiffed Steve Harrington, who was initially scripted to be the bad boyfriend before the actor was cast.
"We love Joe. We fell in love with him during the making of season one, which is why we ended up writing that arc for him where he's helping to save the day with Jonathan [Charlie Heaton] and Nancy," Ross told The Hollywood Reporter in 2017. "Steve was supposed to be this jocky douchebag, and Joe was so much more than that."
18. Also slated to perish was Eleven. Yes, really.
"Eleven was going to sacrifice herself to save the day," Ross said in the 2018 book Stranger Things: Worlds Turned Upside Down. "That was always the end game. But once we realized that the show was potentially going to go on longer than one season, we needed to leave it more up in the air, because deep down we knew the show just wouldn't really work without Eleven. And at that point, we knew how special Millie was. If there was going to be more Stranger Things, Eleven had to come back."

Cookie cutters make it easy to cut cookie dough into fun shapes. Sometimes you'll find yourself without a cookie cutter. Maybe you left it at a friends, or you've just moved and it's still burried in your box of kitchenware which is buried underneath other boxes. Don't worry, If you don't have any cookie cutters (or the right one), there are plenty of other things that you can use in their place.
Look around your kitchen, and you are bound to find a few objects and tools that can help you cut cookies. The shapes can be as simple or complex as you like and customized to fit a party, holiday or any occasion. If you try one of these methods and it just doesn't work out, don't worry! Simply ball up and roll out your dough and try again!
This is one of the most common solutions, and it works pretty well. You can use different sized glasses to create cookies of various sizes. You may need to flour the glass rim, so the dough doesn't get stuck inside. Glasses with a thin rim work best because they can cut through the dough easier.
The one disadvantage to using glass is that there's no easy way to get the dough out if it gets stuck. If you remove both ends of a tin can, the problem is solved. When the dough sticks inside, push it out from the opposite end. Be sure to bend back any sharp pieces that can cut you or tear the dough.
Use a small, sharp knife or pizza cutter to cut any shape of cookie you like after rolling out the dough.
Create a stencil out of cardboard or parchment, wax or plain paper for simple shapes like hearts, shamrocks, eggs, and flowers.
For complex shapes (or if you're not very good at drawing), use your computer and print an outline of the shape on your inkjet. Be sure it is the size you want for your cookies.
Cut basic geometric shapes like squares, diamonds, and triangles by rolling your dough into a square. Use a straight edge or ruler to guide your pizza cutter along the length of the dough until you get the shape you like.
Use a tablespoon to make uniform balls of dough; place them on a cookie sheet; and bake. The baking time specified in your recipe should work but watch your cookies in case they bake faster.. You can also flatten the balls out with a rolling pin or the back of a spoon.
Roll your dough into a log and slice off cookies with a knife. Baking times may vary slightly, so keep an eye on the oven. If your recipe recommends a thickness when rolling out the dough, try to cut slices as close to that as possible.
