In learning English, there are four skills we must comprehend. They are listening, speaking, reading, and writing. The four skills mentioned are divided into receptive and productive skills. Speaking and writing are productive skills, while listening and reading are receptive skills. Beside the four language skills above, reading is of great importance to student show mother tongue is not English, because they almost do not have opportunity to hear or to speak that language. Comprehending English is a difficult thing for students if they do not have basic knowledge, especially in comprehending reading text.
Reading is a process recognition or interpretation of written materials and it ideals with the language form. Sheng, (2001:12) stated that reading is a process of communication from the writer to the reader. It involves letters, words, phrases, and clauses. Through reading, we can increase our experience, develop new concept, solve our problem, study how the words are used, how to implement the grammatical rules, and get many knowledge.
In teaching reading class, it is believable a teacher can handle the class easily if his/her students have motivation to learn read to compare with the class were the students are bored to do so. This is why many English teachers try to build up the student's motivation to read by various teaching strategies in teaching and one which is use in this study is using the grade material.
Using the graded reading material can motivation the students to identify what had happened? Where did it happen? When did happen? How did happen? And what were the results.
In this age of modern science and technology, information is important to anybody who wants to progress. Information comes to us through many ways for example, by listening to the radio, watching TV and reading. In fact reading is the easiest and cheapest way of getting information. These are many kinds of reading materials hat can be obtained easily, such as magazines, brochures, journals article especially when the reading material are written in a foreign language.
Reading skills as a part of receptive skills is give the first priority in the printed information is very dominant nowadays. Through reading people can improve their own knowledge, experience and broaden his horizon of thinking. Which are needed to ensure the continuing personal growth and adapt the changes in the world. (Harvey, 1990:2) argues that the purpose of reading in language is inform our selves about something we are interested in, or challenge our knowledge on certain matters. In other words, to extend experience of the world in which we live.
The comprehension towards the reading materials is the main goals, but the fact shows that the majority of the students are not competent to comprehend English well as (Halim, 1987:2) states that most students encounter the problem in comprehending an English text.
By looking this fact, lecturers or teachers must given some variations of teaching techniques in reading class in order motivate students to comprehend the reading text.
In this case the writer is going to discuss one variation in teaching reading namely using graded reading materials to teach effective communication. A teacher can create her own materials for use in class. Many teachers find it useful to use published materials. The most well known graded or simplified materials available for the classroom are graded readers.
Graded reading materials method can be applied at the upper elementary students for improving their comprehension. In this case, the researcher selected SMPN1 PALLANGGA .According to the information of the English teacher there, the students 'reading comprehension skill still poor. All of the students can be read but only few of students can comprehend or can understand what they have read especially English text. The students also got difficulties in answering questions related to English text that given to them.Referring explanation above, the researcher is interested in conducting a research under title: IMPROVING THESTUDENTS READING ABILITY THROUGH GRADED READING MATERIALS METHOD (a classroom action research eleventh graded Students of SMPN1 PALLANGGA Kab. Gowa.
1. How does graded materials method improve the students' reading comprehension at the seventh graded students' of SMPN 1 PALLANGGA?
2. How does the students' reading comprehension be improve using graded reading materials method at the seventh graded students' of SMPN 1 PALLANGGA?
2. The students' improvement Reading comprehension through Graded Reading Materials Method at the seventh graded students' of SMPN 1 PALLANGGA.
The result of the research is expected to be a piece of meaningful contribution for the teacher that the graded reading materials can motivation students' comprehension in reading.

Q: Differential Equation with linear variable coefficients - dealing with integration constant I have a problem dealing with the constants coming from the integration when solving o.d.e with linear variable coefficients. Specifically we know that for the following differential equation:
$\frac{dy}{dx} + p(x)y = f(x)$
the solution is:
$$(1)$$
$$y=ce^{-\int p(x)dx} + e^{-\int p(x)dx} \int e^{\int p(x)dx}f(x)dx$$
Now let's say we have the following problem:
$\frac{dy}{dx} + tan(x)y = cos^2(x), x \in(-\pi/2, \pi/2)$
We assign $p(x) = tan(x)$ and $f(x)=cos^2(x)$
So:
$$(2)$$
$$I = \int p(x)dx = \int tan(x) dx = -ln(cos(x)) + K$$
Now we substitute (2) into (1). But what we do about the constant K? If we include it, it does not cancel out and then we have two constants, the original c in (1) and the new K. I hope I was clear. Thanks.

A: $$y=ce^{-\int p(x)dx} + e^{-\int p(x)dx} \int e^{\int p(x)dx}f(x)dx$$
$$y=ce^{\ln \cos x -K} + e^{\ln \cos x -K} \int e^K \cos x dx$$
$$y=ce^{-K}{ \cos x} + {\cos x} \int  \cos x dx$$
$$y(x)={C}{ \cos x} +  {\sin x}{\cos x}$$
$$y(x)={C}{ \cos x} + \dfrac 12 {\sin (2x)}$$
You have a unique constant.
$$C=ce^{-K}$$

Edgar's Blog: Everybody loves Turtles.
Why does everyone love turtles?
Patience, strength, stability, longevity, innocence, endurance and protection.
I can find myself in all of those things, they are me, it is true, it is so and also for the rest of my sort. Oh and not forgetting the "naughtiness" 😉 that's Edgar real time!
My shell gives me great protection, I can take it anywhere which allows me my carefree way to go and do what I want, when I want, with whom I want. It is because of this carefree attitude and our longevity we are often thought to be one of the wisest souls amongst the animal kingdom. I can't say too much about that but I can say that when you have been around as long as I have it takes a lot to ruffle my shell. Anyway why waste energy on things you can't change just accept and move slowly but surely on.
We have few preditors, my shell helps me survive, my sort are survivors. Just look how long we have been around. I mean some fossils of my ancestors date back to 200 million years ago. How's that for a family tree?
In China and Japan the turtle is a symbol for longevity. Some say this is due to our innocent energy which prolongs life. Others even say that my sort are a symbol for cosmic order; my shell symbolizes the heavens, my body the earth and my undershell the underworld. In many cultures the turtle is also recognised as the earth mother stoically and silently carrying the heavy burden of many on her thick back. Well I like to think of it this way: I am a turtle, I have connections to many cultures, I am friends with all and have no prejudice. All things deserve respect and honour. So where ever you are, whatever your culture, it would seem that you and me go a long, long way back. I have anthropological history on many continents.
Mu history and the history of tea is kind of why I started my own tea brand, I mean after water tea is the most consumed beverage in the world. Tea has been around for more 2000 years – not a lot of products out there with that kind of success I am sure you will agree.
The old Chinese proverb says: use tea to make friends.
Cheers and enjoy your Tea With Edgar today!

Posted By: Jon Britton July 22, 2017
A Hawaiian Grand Jury indicted US soldier for aiding ISIS by providing material support. US Army Sgt. Ikaika Erik Kang, 34 yrs old, was indicted on four counts of attempting to provide material support to Islamic State militants.
Sgt. Kang was arrested by an FBI SWAT team on July 8 and was ordered held without bail. Kang was employed at Schofield Barracks in Hawaii. He was an air traffic control operator with the 25th Infantry Division at U.S. Army Pacific Command. He was scheduled for a preliminary hearing on Monday, July 24, but the indictment has changed the upcoming court appearance to an arraignment. The indictment says he attempted to provide the militant group with secret information, a drone and other gear, as well as military training.

Kang's court-appointed attorney, Birney Bervar, told The Associated Press on Friday that the indictment was expected. He faces up to 20 years in prison and $250,000 for each of the four counts he's charged with, according to the Justice Department. Bervar said Kang, the indicted US soldier, would plead not guilty on Monday when a federal judge will set a trial date.
The four counts of attempting to provide material support to ISIS were based on events that occurred between June 21 and July 8. Federal officials said Kang met with undercover FBI agents he thought were with the terror group. He then provided classified military documents to the agents. According to the affidavit, Kang provided the materials hoping the documents "would assist ISIS, including with fighting and military tactics. Additionally, Kang contributed to the purchase of a drone with the intention that it would be provided to, and used by, ISIS during fighting."
A search of Kang's computer found 18 documents marked "SECRET" — 16 of those remain classified today, according to the FBI. Kang allegedly said he wanted to join the group and travel to Turkey, where he believed ISIS had a consulate.
According to an FBI affidavit, Kang's behavior was obvious to those around him, the Washington Post reported.
"He was reprimanded on several occasions for threatening to hurt or kill other service members, and for arguing pro-ISIS views while at work and on-post," according to the affidavit. "Due to these remarks and threats, Kang's security clearance was revoked in 2012, but reinstated the following year after Kang complied with military requirements stemming from the investigation."
The FBI criminal complaint said that Kang wanted to commit a mass shooting after allegedly pledging allegiance to ISIS.

Syrian Forces Develop Security Operation Against ISIS Cells In Homs-Deir Ezzor Desert 5.2272727272727 out of 5 based on 22 ratings. 22 user reviews.
Syrian government forces are developing their anti-ISIS operation in the Homs-Deir Ezzor desert.
In March, the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) and the local National Defense Forces (NDF) started a security operation in the area in order to crack down ISIS cells there. Since then, government troops have made a series of limited advances capturing a number of points southwest of the city of al-Mayadin. The most recent government advance has taken place in the area of Al Hasyan, which has been cleared from ISIS members.
The ISIS cells operating in the Homs-Deir Ezzor desert pose a direct threat to the government-held areas in the Euphrates Valley and in the area of Palmyra.
However, the SAA and the NDF have still been not able to clear the desert because the security situation is still complicatd in other, more vital areas – for example in southern Damascus.
As soon as government troops liberate southern Damascus from ISIS members, they will focus on other militant-held areas across the country. However, even in this case, the Homs-Deir Ezzor desert may become not the main area of the SAA's efforts.
Hahahaha – that is some lateral thinking.
Russia have played a very significant role in the peace and stability of the whole region by combating all foreign threats and rescue nations from the US, UK, France, Saudi Arabia and Israeli migrants. Therefore, in the region now every country want to ally with Russia.
The world nations should think twice before to ally with the head choppers and illegal land occupiers Trump, May and Macron. They have occupied whole Palestine, Ukraine, 30% Syria and Libya, 20% Iraq, 60% Yemen and Afghanistan.
How Trump, May and Macron use their all energies to fuel proxy / sectarian war, disintegrate Palestine, Yemen, Syria, Iraq, Libya and many other countries. While Assad, Putin, Abadi and Rouhani efforts to keep unite and integrate Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan and many other countries. So from these facts it is clear that the Trump, May and Macron are evil, butchers and terrorists.
Yes, eliminating ISIS will be the turning point for Syria. Turning from war toward peace.
Breaking: Qatari FM denounces Saudi calls to send troops to Syria.
US, UK and France have all illegal military bases everywhere and in every country in the world while Russia, Iran, Palestine and Lebanon have legal military bases in Syria.
How many ISIS lunatics are estimated to be in that pocket??
If they attack frkm Al Mayadin, Al Bukamal, Al Sukhnah, Humaymah and the T-2 station itllibe easy peasy. Let the IRGC there solve this problem! Why not?


January 2, 2013 — At RSNA 2012 Montage Healthcare Solutions and Radimetrics demonstrated the benefits of correlating dose information with Montage clinical report search results.
The integrated system is a result of a previously announced technology partnership. Clinical quality improvement efforts benefit by correlating X-ray dose with the clinical findings Montage extracts from unstructured clinical report data. A radiologist using Montage to uncover clinical information that aids the diagnostic process benefits from access to exam dose information, as will a clinical quality manager looking to understand the relationship between dose, imaging protocols and clinical findings.
"Correlating dose information with clinical report findings enhances healthcare providers' ability to manage clinical quality by better understanding the relationship between imaging procedure, dose and outcomes," said William Boonn, M.D., president of Montage Healthcare Solutions. "We want to help caregivers reduce unnecessary imaging that costs the U.S. healthcare system billions of dollars annually. Availability of the clinical information necessary to make informed decisions is the first step."
Radimetrics' eXposure dose management tools enable imaging protocol optimization with X-ray dose as low as reasonably allowed (ALARA), while helping organizations meet requirements for reporting and tracking dose. "Integration with Montage reporting closes the loop on understanding the relationship between dose and clinical diagnosis," said Radimetrics president Gregory Couch. "We believe our combined abilities creates unique value, particularly for patients with chronic disease that requires repeated imaging."
Montage and Radimetrics are collaborating with the Radiology Outcomes Research Laboratory (RORL) at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) to understand the correlation between exam dose, imaging protocol, clinical indications and findings. Kate MacGregor, program manager at RORL, said, "Patient safety and imaging appropriateness are global healthcare issues that can only be understood through correlation of several clinical and operational factors. The Montage and Radimetrics combination provides access to information that significantly advances our efforts to understand these issues."

In Show of Force, Women Rally at Women's March #CountOnUs Marches Around the Country
Washington, DC -- Today, women showed yet again why they're the driving force in American politics, coming together for 438 marches across all 50 states, including a march in Washington, D.C. with more than 10,000 people in attendance.
"Today, women came together across the country to mobilize the women's vote, and send a clear message that we will do whatever it takes to fight back, win this election, and defend our democracy," said Rachel O'Leary Carmona, Women's March's Executive Director. "This moment demands a show of force from women, and our people are showing up and delivering the people power of everyday women. Today was a huge success for the women's movement, and for women everywhere. We harnessed the power of our large and diverse base to reach and engage voters in key states – because beating Trump at the ballot box is going to come down to the power of women." Photo by Kristin Fairweather (@KFilm8)
With COVID-19 precautions in place and Women's March officials urging participants to find a march close to home, women not only marched today but got straight to work mobilizing their efforts in a nationwide text-a-thon. Thousands of volunteers participated in text banks throughout the country, sending over 2.5 million texts today alone. Volunteers reached the most critical voters in the country, engaging the women in the swing states who will determine who is in the White House and who is in control of the Senate.
From the golf cart marches in the Villages in Florida, to rallies in Phoenix, AZ, a paddleboat protest in Bemidji, Minnesota, to the march beginning in Ruth Bader Ginsburg's college dorm at Cornell, women today again showed up and proved that we are organized, mobilized, and committed to finishing what we started on Day One of Trump's Presidency. Our goal was to ensure that the millions of women in our base vote, and today we did just that. Through these actions, women all over the country showed what the power of everyday women looks like. In less than one month, the Women's March was able to:
Get more than 116,000 people pledged to march or participate in other actions today.
Set up more than 438 sister marches to take place across the country in all 50 states.
Sign up more than 5,500 new volunteers in the last 12 weeks.
Our organization is 4 times the size it was this time last year, fueled by our electoral and other programmatic efforts.
Bring new women into politics: 70% of new supporters have never marched or engaged in any significant political activism before.
When Women's March called on its members across the US to honor Justice Ginsburg in their own communities, 7,874 people signed up to host a vigil on courthouse steps across the country in less than 24 hours.

Q: NATURAL JOIN does not work properly I have three tables describes like that:
+----------+    +-----------------+    +----------+
| products |    | products_stores |    | stores   |
+----------+    +-----------------+    +----------+
| barecode |    | #barecode       |    | storeID  |
| name     |----| #storeID        |----| location |
+----------+    | price           |    +----------+
                +-----------------+

Created them like this:
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `products` (
  `barecode` varchar(100) NOT NULL UNIQUE,
  `name` varchar(25) NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`barecode`)
);
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `stores` (
  `idStore` int(10) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `name` varchar(25) NOT NULL,
  `location` varchar(100) NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`idStore`)
);
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `products_stores` (
  `idStore` int(10) NOT NULL,
  `barecode` VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL,
  `price` double NOT NULL,
  FOREIGN KEY (`barecode`) REFERENCES `products`(`barecode`),
  FOREIGN KEY (`idStore`) REFERENCES `stores`(`idStore`)
);

I wanted to get all the product and its price with the right store so I tried NATURAL JOIN but it returned nothing (code below 1-). So I tried with only one NATURAL JOIN just to check and it works (code below 2- and 3-).
1- SELECT * FROM products NATURAL JOIN products_stores NATURAL JOIN stores;
2- SELECT * FROM products JOIN products_stores NATURAL JOIN stores;
3- SELECT * FROM products NATURAL JOIN products_stores JOIN stores;

I do not understand why the "double" NATURAL JOIN does not work. Does anyone can help me through this?
Thanks.

A: It depends on your data,here is what the documentation has to say about it

The evaluation of multi-way natural joins differs in a very important
  way that affects the result of NATURAL or USING joins and that can
  require query rewriting. Suppose that you have three tables t1(a,b),
  t2(c,b), and t3(a,c) that each have one row: t1(1,2), t2(10,2), and
  t3(7,10). Suppose also that you have this NATURAL JOIN on the three
  tables:
SELECT ... FROM t1 NATURAL JOIN t2 NATURAL JOIN t3; Previously, the
  left operand of the second join was considered to be t2, whereas it
  should be the nested join (t1 NATURAL JOIN t2). As a result, the
  columns of t3 are checked for common columns only in t2, and, if t3
  has common columns with t1, these columns are not used as equi-join
  columns. Thus, previously, the preceding query was transformed to the
  following equi-join:
SELECT ... FROM t1, t2, t3   WHERE t1.b = t2.b AND t2.c = t3.c;
  That join is missing one more equi-join predicate (t1.a = t3.a). As a
  result, it produces one row, not the empty result that it should. The
  correct equivalent query is this:
SELECT ... FROM t1, t2, t3   WHERE t1.b = t2.b AND t2.c = t3.c AND
  t1.a = t3.a;

In short the second JOIN only checks for the previous table`s column not the WHOLE result of the first JOIN.
One of the reasons that NATURAL JOINs are not recommended,not much control and little to gain.


More than a decade after Dino Miranda performed with his rock band around Maputo, Mozambique he scooped the 2009 MMA (Mozambican Music Awards) for his début album "Moya Wa Kaya". Launched at the end of 2008 in South Africa and Mozambique, with "Moya Wa Kaya" (winds from home), Dino Miranda successfully manages to bring his fans together and create a bridge between South Africa, where he is based and Mozambique, his home country and source of inspiration. After playing with Mozambican music legend, singer and composer Chico Antonio in the late 1990's, Dino decided to study music; first at the Fuba School of Music in Johannesburg and subsequently jazz studies at the University of Cape Town's renowned College of Music between 2001 and 2004.

East Haddam, Conn. – July 8, 2010: Goodspeed Musicals' productions are known throughout the country for their lively performances and intimate ambience. At the Goodspeed Opera House in East Haddam, Conn., many audience members can get up-close looks at the actors' incredibly detailed choreography and costumes. But what they don't see are the tiny microphones—creatively tucked away from view—that carry the actors' powerful voices throughout the majestic theater.
Goodspeed Musicals' sound team relies on ultra-small wireless microphone systems from audio specialist Sennheiser, which operates its U.S. headquarters just a few towns away in Old Lyme. Sennheiser manufactures and markets headphones and microphones for the consumer electronics market and pro audio applications such as broadcasting, film/TV and Broadway productions.
without overpowering the small space.
"Keeping the microphones completely hidden is a major priority for us,� said Jay Hilton, sound designer for Goodspeed Musicals. Ensuring a flawless look is simpler now that the theater has adopted Sennheiser's tiny clip-on microphones and transmitters. But it still takes a high level of creativity and imagination to make sure microphones remain completely out of sight, yet deliver natural-sounding, non-muffled sound.
"Whenever possible, I mount the transmitter and microphone in actors' wigs,� Hilton said. "Our wig designers actually design the look of the wig to accommodate the transmitters.�
For last December's holiday production of Jim Henson's Emmet Otter, Hilton was presented with the challenge of hiding microphones among bright woodland creature costumes. "Blending the mics into the bright orange fur of the foxes and bright green scales of the lizard is not common practice for the more traditional musicals we do.� He ended up painting the microphone cables to match, and applied a special painted tape to the "head� of the microphone that also kept extra sweat and moisture at bay.
"Supreme attention to detail is a cornerstone of every one of Goodspeed Musicals' productions,� said Stefanie Reichert, vice president of strategic marketing at Sennheiser USA. "We're very proud to support such a major force within our local arts community.�
Visitors to the Goodspeed Opera House can experience the Broadway-quality sound of Sennheiser throughout the year. Productions include "Carnival!� (July 9 through September 18) and "How to Succeed in Business without Really Trying� (September 24 through November 28).

Matthew Abram Groening (born February 15, 1954 in Portland, Oregon) is an American cartoonist, screenwriter and producer. He is the creator of the comic strip Life in Hell and the television series The Simpsons and Futurama. Groening made his first professional cartoon sale of Life in Hell to the avant-garde Wet magazine in 1978. The cartoon is still carried in 250 weekly newspapers.
Life in Hell caught the attention of James L. Brooks. In 1985, Brooks contacted Groening with the proposition of working in animation for the FOX variety show The Tracey Ullman Show. Originally, Brooks wanted Groening to adapt his Life in Hell characters for the show. Fearing the loss of ownership rights, Groening decided to create something new and came up with a cartoon family, the Simpsons and named the members after his own parents and sisters while Bart was an anagram of the word brat. The shorts would be spun off into their own series: The Simpsons, which has since aired over 400 episodes in 20 seasons. In 1997, Groening got together with David X. Cohen and developed Futurama, an animated series about life in the year 3000, which premiered in 1999. After four years on the air, the show was canceled by Fox in 2003, but Comedy Central commissioned 16 new episodes from four direct-to-DVD movies.
Groening has won 11 Primetime Emmy Awards, ten for The Simpsons and one for Futurama as well as a British Comedy Award for "outstanding contribution to comedy" in 2004. In 2002, he won the National Cartoonist Society Reuben Award for his work on Life in Hell.

Absolute clarity of purpose pervaded every activity. It was in the backdrop of countless decisions, large and small, made everyday and at all levels inside those organizations. Through these thousands of individual decisions, an invisible hand moved every activity toward the same goal. At the top were leaders whose unequivocal clarity in defining the overriding purpose left no room for misunderstanding. In doing so, they greatly streamlined decision processes throughout their organizations. Every leader, manager, and team member knew the CEO's most important priorities. In most cases, decisions did not require higher-level endorsement; the purpose served as a guide.
By themselves, the three word statements of the purpose at TF 4-68 (9 and 0) or Stryker (20 percent growth) did not sound particularly inspirational. Neither appealed to the human capacity to promote the greater good, advance the state of the art in a field, or improve human lives. Yet, such simple focus enabled those types of noble achievements to occur. Each organization made significant contributions in their areas of endeavor and in the lives of their members. Clearly defining success ripped away the hubris of over-complicated declarations of priorities and allowed people to do what they did best everyday. The organization then achieved those noble goals.
These simple, highly visible measurements also promoted a feeling of solidarity that left little room for excuses or political "spin." Results were what mattered. Everyone and every team knew where they stood, and each leader constantly emphasized progress towards achieving the three-word purpose. Every group encounter, every meeting, every breakfast, every luncheon, and every awards ceremony was a chance to define progress. Whether it was a presentation at a divisional sales meeting, a perfect-attendance lunch with manufacturing teams, or an After-Action Review; the simplicity of the three word goals drove it home.
The leaders also structured their organizations to bring critical resources to bear at the precise moments when decisive actions would directly affect achieving the purpose. For TF 4-68, this meant lining up behind the soldiers and commanders on the front line. Those closest to the battle knew best what was happening. Commanders on the front were empowered to make key decisions and call the shots during an operation. It was utterly clear that the battalion staff, the support units, and the service support units were to ensure those in direct contact with the enemy would have every conceivable resource available to win.
Similarly, Stryker's CEO aligned the organization to line up behind the sales teams that were fighting to win each individual sale. As the company became involved in different markets with distinct customers in each, this meant a fiercely decentralized structure. Each customer-focused division unleashed the intensely competitive strength of self-directed teams and the collaborative power of a focused organization marching in lockstep to achieve a common purpose. Formal and informal chains of command were all oriented to drive responsibility and accountability to those on the front.
These leaders further structured their teams and chose roles for the organization's leaders with an extreme bias toward the strengths of individual leaders and managers. This was an element of the clarity of purpose. TF 4-68 defined company missions around the perceived strengths of each of the company commanders. At Stryker, respect for each individual's unique capabilities was always part of the climate. The CEO would define roles and responsibilities to best exploit the capabilities of its strongest leaders, even create the corporate hierarchy around the top performers. The track record of key people would often be the deciding factor in allocating resources rather than the exact specifics of a plan they might present.
Finally, each of these leaders had excellent support from higher-level leadership with regard to the purpose. Fort Carson's commanding general viewed the mission for each maneuver battalion in a fashion highly congruent with TF 4-68's efforts to win at NTC. Stryker's Board of Directors consistently demonstrated an unwavering endorsement of the CEO's 20-percent growth objective. The higher levels did not interfere; rather they facilitated, encouraged, and worked to provide essential resources.
Articulating a crystal clear objective was step one. Steps two and three involved empowering people up and down the organization with a maniacal obsession to achieve it and unleashing boundless creative energy laser focused on realizing it. When this happened, the collective results were magical. Retired Four-Star General Doug Brown noted:"No Commander ever wins at the US Army's National Training Center, that is, until LTC Fred Dibella took 4-68 Armor to face the OPFOR." Following these steps your organization can achieve the impossible as well.

Tensions in the Solomon Islands reached heightened levels in 1998, when fighting between rival armed ethnic factions led to a civil war. The conflict erupted on Guadalcanal and Malaita, two islands forming part of the Solomon Islands. Violent clashes took place between the Malaita Eagle Force (MEF) – fighting for the Malaitan settlers on Guadalcanal – and the Isatabu Freedom Movement (IFM) claiming to represent the indigenous residents of the island. The violent struggle for political power, land, jobs, and status led to at least 100 deaths and more than 20,000 displaced. The Townsville Peace Agreement was signed in 2000.

Next-gen Audi A1 5-door to retain "Sportback" branding, debut in Q4 2018
24/05/2018 - 15:41 | Audi A1, Audi | Sagar Parikh
Audi's smallest model, the Audi A1, is set for a complete makeover this year. While the company continues with the future model's development, IAB has unearthed some new information.
The next-gen Audi A1 Sportback will ride on the MQB A0 platform.
The Audi A1 was originally introduced as a 3-door model at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show. The Audi A1 Sportback (5-door) followed over a year later at the 2011 Tokyo Motor Show. The original, 3-door version, because of dwindling sales, will get discontinued as the Audi A1 carline moves to its second generation. Even though only a 5-door version is planned, Audi will not drop the 'Sportback' suffix from the name.
The second-gen Audi A1 Sportback (codename: Audi AU270) will have a sharper and more dynamic exterior and a more contemporary interior. It will ride on the same platform as the sixth-gen VW Polo and the fifth-gen Seat Ibiza - MQB A0. It will have a bigger body that allows for improved cabin space. Just for the record, the current model measures 3,973 mm in length, 1,746 mm in width and 1,422 mm in height. It has a 2,469 mm wheelbase. The redesigned model will exceed 4,000 mm in length and have a 2,564 mm wheelbase.
The 2019 Audi A1 Sportback will come with a plethora of advanced technologies, including a virtual instrument cluster, a large touchscreen infotainment system that offers Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and MirrorLink support as well as 4G LTE connectivity, an autonomous emergency braking system with pedestrian monitoring function and more.
The all-new A1 is likely to share most of its engines with the latest VW Polo and Seat Ibiza. These may include 1.0-litre turbocharged petrol, 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol and 1.6-litre turbocharged diesel units and probably even a 1.0-litre turbocharged CNG-petrol unit. A 2.0-litre turbocharged diesel engine is expected to be the range-topper. Unlike the first-gen Audi A1, the second-gen Audi A1 will have an AWD option. Once again, a sporty Audi S1 Sportback with a 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine and a Quattro permanent AWD system is planned.
The 2019 Audi A1 Sportback will measure over four metres in length. Current Audi A1 Sportback pictured.

The next-gen A1 Sportback will debut in Q4 2018, possibly at the 2018 Paris Motor Show in October. Its production will take place at Seat's Martorell facility in Spain. Sales should commence in early 2019.

Q: Afnetworking 3.0 total Bytes Expected To Write return -1 i want to configure progress bar but my url can not give me total size of my image . i follow this tutorial http://tarikfayad.com/afnetworking-downloading-files-with-progress/
NSURLSessionConfiguration *configuration = [NSURLSessionConfiguration defaultSessionConfiguration];
AFURLSessionManager *manager = [[AFURLSessionManager alloc] initWithSessionConfiguration:configuration];

//Most URLs I come across are in string format so to convert them into an NSURL and then instantiate the actual request
NSURL *formattedURL = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://www.wallpapers13.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/Sunset-Large-Chinese-wall-Desktop-Wallpaper-HD-5250x3344.jpg"];
NSURLRequest *request = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:formattedURL];

[manager setDownloadTaskDidWriteDataBlock:^(NSURLSession * _Nonnull session, NSURLSessionDownloadTask * _Nonnull downloadTask, int64_t bytesWritten, int64_t totalBytesWritten, int64_t totalBytesExpectedToWrite) {
    //CGFloat w = totalBytesWritten;
    CGFloat t = totalBytesExpectedToWrite;
    //CGFloat percentageCompleted = w/t;
    NSLog(@"%f",t); // Error retun -1
}];
NSURLSessionDownloadTask *download = [manager downloadTaskWithRequest:request progress:nil destination:^NSURL * _Nonnull(NSURL * _Nonnull targetPath, NSURLResponse * _Nonnull response) {
    //
    //Getting the path of the document directory
    NSURL *documentsDirectoryURL = [[NSFileManager defaultManager] URLForDirectory:NSDocumentDirectory inDomain:NSUserDomainMask appropriateForURL:nil create:NO error:nil];
    NSURL *fullURL = [documentsDirectoryURL URLByAppendingPathComponent:@"image1.jpg"];

    [self removeVideoAtPath:fullURL];
    return fullURL;
} completionHandler:^(NSURLResponse * _Nonnull response, NSURL * _Nullable filePath, NSError * _Nullable error) {
    if (!error) {
        //If there's no error, return the completion block
        [self completionBlock:(NSString *)filePath];
    } else {
        //Otherwise return the error block
        [self errorBlock:error];
    }
}];
[download resume];

A: If the totalBytesExpectedToWrite is -1, then you have some issues on your server configuration, because it is not responding the total size of your image.
Without the total size it's not possible to do a correct progress bar, you can only display some activity indicator (which just indicating that something it happening, but does not give a feedback when it will be finished).
I recommend to take a look your server settings (especially to setup the Content-Length header on the right way).

A: Try this:
NSURLSessionConfiguration * configuration = [NSURLSessionConfiguration defaultSessionConfiguration];
AFURLSessionManager * manager = [[AFURLSessionManager alloc] initWithSessionConfiguration:configuration];

NSURL * URL = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://static1.visitfinland.com/wp-content/uploads/Header_Linnunlaulu_ruska_autumn.jpg"];
NSURLRequest * request = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:URL];

NSURLSessionDownloadTask * downloadTask = [manager downloadTaskWithRequest:request
                                                                  progress:^(NSProgress * _Nonnull downloadProgress) {
    dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
        // here you will be able to set progress to your progress view
        [yourProgressView setProgress:downloadProgress.fractionCompleted];
    });
} destination:^NSURL *(NSURL *targetPath, NSURLResponse *response) {
    NSURL * documentsDirectoryURL = [[NSFileManager defaultManager] URLForDirectory:NSDocumentDirectory
                                                                           inDomain:NSUserDomainMask
                                                                  appropriateForURL:nil
                                                                             create:NO
                                                                              error:nil];

    return [documentsDirectoryURL URLByAppendingPathComponent:[response suggestedFilename]];
} completionHandler:^(NSURLResponse * response, NSURL * filePath, NSError * error) {

}];

"A patient suffering headache symptoms who was triaged (assessed) as suitable for a clinical call-back would have received an ambulance response prior to the change in code sets (priorities)," a spokesman said.
"Our paramedics cannot give treatment to those patients with a DNR or provide the support their family needs at this difficult time," the spokesman said.
"Sending an ambulance when we cannot clinically help the patient can extend the family's distress unnecessarily."
Denise Burke, a campaigner over poor ambulance responses in north Norfolk, said: "What is most shocking is the way patients who were near the end of life were treated.
"We need to know whether their death was accelerated by the downgrading of the calls."


Grungy Gentleman: Can you tell our audience about your partnership with Martell?
Questlove: Hopefully our work will.
Grungy Gentleman: Where is your favorite destination to drink Martell?
Black Thought: I like to drink Martell anywhere, but there's something about coming home and throwing some Martell in a snifter with one ice cube that resonates with me. Home is my favorite destination. Home with my family, my familiar surroundings, and my office with my books. Put my feet in some slippers – I'm a classicist in that way [laughs].
Grungy Gentleman: Who has the funniest guest been on Jimmy Fallon to date?
Questlove: There's a few couch guests that I always look forward to whenever they come to the show. Martin Short is always hilarious when he comes on the show… Artie Lange!
Black Thought: Oh Artie Lange – he's hilarious. They always book him with a super-beautiful supermodel – somebody he can come out with and trip with. I was thinking of Adam Carolla. He's really funny too. But yeah, there's no shortage of hilarity. It's a fun place to work.
Grungy Gentleman: What has been the most rewarding moment being a member of The Roots?
Black Thought: Is a testament to the achievement of the band. For me, in terms of moments, I'm going to say definitely being commemorated in Philadelphia with a mural and then more recently being recognized with a plaque in the street on the Philly Walk of Fame those are two super high points for me because Philly is just the toughest, toughest audience to please, so everything that we've always done has been first and foremost for the city. To be recognized in that way by the city from which we come from, for me, that's some of the greatest, brightest shining moments for us. It's a glimpse at what I feel like is what's to come on a larger scale. Next year hopefully there will be a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and we'll be inducted into the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame as opposed to inducting others. But all things in time, you just have to around long enough for it all to take place. It's a testament to our professionalism and why we're still doing it. But yeah, just being recognized by Philly is pretty monumental.
Grungy Gentleman: Where is your favorite venue to perform?
Questlove: It's almost looks like the Paramount logo.
Black Thought: Yeah! So yeah, The Gorge and Red Rocks here in the States. But then there are classics like LA House of Blues. I love all of the places we play for different reasons.
Grungy Gentleman: Where are your favorite spots to shop?
Black Thought: Yeah, I would have to say online. I do most of my damage online now.
Grungy Gentleman: Favorite sports teams?
Black Thought: Philadelphia Eagles, 76ers, Flyers, Phillies.
Grungy Gentleman: What can we expect next from The Roots?
Questlove: We are involved with The Hamilton Project, so we co-produced the last album that came out. Not to mention the other offspring records that will come from that project. There's a Hamilton mixtape with a bunch of MCs, a remix project, and an additional cast album.
Black Thought: Expect The Roots to take Broadway next. That's kind of the terrain – at one point it was uncharted and now it's not as uncharted as it was even a year ago. There's The Hamilton Project that Quest just mentioned that we're working on and other projects outside of The Hamilton Project. I guess the foray into Broadway was [Questlove] coming on as one of the producers of Fela and it's been a snowball effect since then.

Sowore endured difficult times trying to speak up for a better Nigeria- Banky W
5:39 PM Fashola MC POSCABA 0 Entertainment
Musician turned politician, Banky W has reacted to the ruling of a Federal High Court in Abuja ordering the Department of State Services to immediately release pro-democracy activist, Omoyele Sowore, on bail.
Recall that Omoyele Sowore, a co-convener of the RevolutionNow movement was granted bail by an Abuja Federal High Court on Tuesday.
The Justice Taiwo Taiwo-led court said there was no longer a subsisting order holding Sowore in detention, hence the need to grant him bail.
Justice Taiwo, however, ordered Sowore to deposit his international passport to the court while releasing him to his lawyer, Femi Falana.
The co-convener of the RevolutionNow movement had allegedly called for a revolution over the supposed failure of the current Federal Government.
Reacting via his Twitter handle, Banky-W said Sowore endured hardship trying to speak up for a better Nigeria.
"I'm so thankful that our justice system made the right call by granting the release of Omoyele Sowore. Nigeria has a way of punishing the innocent and trampling on the rights, dreams and hopes of the regular citizens.
"Every time our leaders do wrong and get away with it, we lose a little piece of our soul. We become numb, we lose hope, and we subconsciously accept that this is how things are and there's nothing we can say or do to change it.
"You didn't need to be a voter or volunteer for Mr Sowore to see that this was clearly an infringement on a basic human right and a grave injustice. Freedom of speech and the right to peacefully protest is the unassailable right of every Nigerian citizen.
"May God bless those in our justice system who stood on the right side of history by doing the right thing.
"May God strengthen, comfort and bless Sowore, his wife and family as they have endured the most difficult of times while only being guilty of attempting to speak up for a better Nigeria," he wrote.

5 years ago, the district of Düren decreed the eviction of the meadow. A review
By hambacherforst 12/28/2017 01/02/2018 Standard
This e-mail was sent to us:
"State of the matter, 5 years after the delivery of the order by the building authority of the district Düren to vacate the meadow, on 12/24/2012:
The excavator to remove the upper layers is still standing about 80 – 100 m away from the former alignment of the A4. Location: Ancient motorway A4 direction Düren, westernmost point!
The former works road is given up and completely free, RWE probably resigned themselves to the loss of this road.
Matthias Hartung, CEO of RWE Power AG, is "going to retire prematurely" this year.
Peter Terium, CEO of the parent company of RWE Power AG and of RWE Innogy AG, is going to leave the RWE Group (became known 5 days ago).
Matthias Hartung and Peter Terium should keep further damage away from the RWE Group. They will not be able to escape their possible responsibilities because of serious environmental crimes against the soil and groundwater, or because of the transfer of insolvency, just like the responsible politicians in North Rhine-Westphalia.

As Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia progress, symptoms may change and become more severe. In the early stages of the disease, a person with Alzheimer's may still function independently, experiencing only minor difficulties with concentration or memory lapses. Over time, these issues worsen with increasing forgetfulness and confusion about people, places, dates and times. Another symptom that typically manifests over time is the patient's increasing difficulty with communicating.
At first, the patient may find it difficult to come up with the right words to express a thought or have trouble understanding words that were once familiar. There may be frequent repetitions or stories being retold over and over. The patient might easily lose a train of thought or concentration, may put words together that don't make sense, and eventually can become less and less verbal altogether.
Be patient and understanding. Try not to get frustrated or take it personally if someone with Alzheimer's is having difficulty communicating with you. Remember that the disease is responsible for the difficulty, not the patient. Repeat information slowly, as needed, but do not create a sense of rushing anything.
Focus on each other. Eliminate or minimize any distractions. External noises or stimulation can be disturbing and disorienting, causing agitation and discomfort. Make eye contact. Call the person by name and even hold their hands to signal your attentiveness.
Keep things simple. Use short simple words and speak clearly and slowly. Break down any instructions into short steps. Ask questions that only require a "yes" or "no" response or offer a limit of only two or three response choices. Only ask one question at a time and patiently wait for a reply.
Help find the right words. You can gently offer or suggest a way of stating something the patient is having difficulty expressing. But be careful not to be critical of the way something is being expressed and avoid the urge to correct words, complete sentences or fill in blanks too quickly. Listen, then gently demonstrate your understanding by repeating back to the person what they expressed in a way that is coherent.
Try communicating without words. Part of effective listening is being able to pick up visual cues. The patient may employ gestures or facial expressions to convey a thought or feeling they are unable to express verbally. You could also try to incorporate some visual cues such as pointing, gesturing or demonstrating a behavior to help communicate.
Always be respectful. Don't talk down to the patient, treat them like a child, or talk about them as if they are not there. Don't argue with the patient or express anger or resentment toward them. Always remember that the difficulties you are having with communication come from damage to the brain cells caused by Alzheimer's, and not from the patient.
Caring for someone with Alzheimer's can be full of challenges. Losing the ability to communicate with someone with Alzheimer's can be particularly difficult and poignant. Being mindful of what to expect and how to cope can help caregivers meet the challenges with a sense of understanding and support.

People are freaking out over Facebook being inaccessible. At this moment, there are thousands of Tweets on Twitter posted every minute, remarking upon the failure!
Shak's Twitter use has been reluctant and moderate. However, it's convenient to connect it to Facebook and automate the updating of a status & tweet, simultaneously with a single effort. Today seemed ripe for integration with Daniel.Shakhmundes.Net / Shak.Be / Shak.WS / Shak.TV / Shak.Biz (in order of acquisition), now that some time is being spent on Shak's own web-presence.

One of our clients raised concern with their WordPress version recently, so we are recommending to everyone (especially my clients) that they upgrade their WordPress websites, because there are some vulnerabilities that are becoming well known.
We have upgraded clients' sites without issues. Now is a good time to do so, because the WordPress hardening release is for securing and stabilizing their version 2.8 branch. We strongly recommend doing so ASAP – it should be a smooth experience – contact us and we can take care of it if you wish.
More information on the latest stable version and why you should upgrade were posted on October 20, 2009 on WordPress' own website under WordPress 2.8.5: Hardening Release.

Birthplace of Mozart
While most famously known for being the birthplace of famed composer Mozart, its old city centre (Altstadt) is also renowned for its baroque architecture with one of the most well-preserved city centres north of the alps. The name Salzburg, which means "Salt Castle" (Latin: Sales Burgium), was derived from the barges carrying salt on the River Salzach during medieval times together with Hohensalzburg Fortress, the city's fortress built in 1077 by Archbishop Gebhard.

Iraq's Sunni Arabs dispute decision to rejoin government
The head of Iraq's main Sunni Arab bloc said on Saturday the bloc had agreed to rejoin the Shi'ite-led government, but other senior officials said no final decision had been made.
"The Accordance Front has decided to return to the government. The results of the negotiations with the government have been positive," Adnan al-Dulaimi, the head of the bloc, told Reuters.
But Salim al-Jubouri, spokesman for the Front and a senior lawmaker, said: "This is not true information. Negotiations are still going on. We have made good progress but we are still waiting for some things to be settled."
Another senior bloc official also said no final decision had been made.
The Front pulled its six ministers out of the cabinet of Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki in August, plunging the government into crisis.
The bloc has been demanding greater Sunni Arab representation in government and the military, and a greater say in security matters. (Reuters)


 OCTOBER, SHE TOLD ME ALL ABOUT OCTOBER!
Last year Facebook users encountered status updates from their female friends that read "I like it on the floor," or "Black," and no one had any clue what the cryptic status updates were really about. Later people learned that the colors were supposed to signify the girls' bra color of choice and pique male interest thereby leading to their awareness of breast cancer month which is October. Umm, ok. That is some shaky logic to say the least. Ok, I'm done with political correctness - this is one of the dumbest awareness campaigns I have ever seen.

Mission Secondary School theatre students are presenting Pride and Prejudice. / Submitted Photo
Pride and Prejudice takes place at Mission Secondary
Nov. 28, 2019 12:30 p.m.
Mission Secondary School's Theatre Production Program is presenting Jane Austen's classic tale Pride and Prejudice.
Set in 1813, the play follows the character development of Elizabeth Bennet, the dynamic protagonist, who learns about the repercussions of hasty judgments and eventually comes to appreciate the difference between superficial goodness and actual goodness.
A classic piece filled with comedy, its humour lies in its honest depiction of manners, education, marriage and money during the Regency era in Great Britain.
The play takes place Dec. 12-15 at 7 p.m. at Mission Secondary (room 005, west entrance at the back). Tickets are $5 each and can be purchased at the door, or call 604-826-7191 for more information.

Your health is greatly affected by the food you eat – it's been proven time and time again. A study presented at the Fourth World Parkinson Congress builds on this fact, as they reported that eating foods commonly found in a Mediterranean diet were associated with a slower progression of Parkinson's disease.
Researchers at Bastyr University and Oregon State University investigated whether diet, exercise, and supplements were linked to the rate of Parkinson's disease progression. For the study, they recruited 1,024 participants with a mean age of 60.7 and had been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease for an average of 6.7 years.
In their study, they used the Patient-Reported Outcomes in Parkinson's Disease (PRO-PD) scale to evaluate the severity of Parkinson's disease. In order to quantify the participants' dietary intake in the cross-sectional analysis, they used baseline food frequency questionnaires.
Results revealed that foods, such as fresh fruits and vegetables, nuts and seeds, olive oil, fish, wine, eggs, and fresh herbs were associated with a significant improvement on the severity of Parkinson's disease. On the contrary, fried foods, beef, diet soda, canned fruits, and canned vegetables were associated with more severe instances of Parkinson's disease. Moreover, supplements such as oral glutathione, rasagiline, and coenzyme Q10 were associated with improved conditions, while iron was associated with exacerbated cases.
The researchers also found that exercising for a minimum of 30 minutes a day significantly reduced the severity of Parkinson's.
Preserve brain function – Because the Mediterranean diet is rich in healthy fats for the brain, it can be good for boosting brain power and preventing dementia and cognitive decline.
Lower your risk of heart disk – Mediterranean diet has been known to improve high blood pressure, triglycerides, and cholesterol levels. Research shows that adherence to a Mediterranean diet can significantly reduce one's risk of cardiovascular diseases, such as coronary heart disease, heart attack, and stroke.
Make bones stronger – A study indicated that some compounds in olive oil, which is part of a Mediterranean diet, may help preserve bone density by enhancing the proliferation and maturation of bone cells. In another study, it was revealed that dietary patterns associated with the Mediterranean diet may help fight against osteoporosis.
Manage diabetes and regulate blood sugar – Following a Mediterranean diet can help prevent type 2 diabetes, and for those who already have diabetes, it can help regulate blood sugar and reduce cardiovascular risk. In comparison to a low-fat diet, people with Type 2 diabetes who adhered to a Mediterranean diet felt better, experienced greater weight loss, and had better blood sugar control. Fewer people also needed treatment.
Protect against depression – Research revealed that people who followed a Mediterranean diet most closely had approximately 98.6 percent lower risk of developing depression compared to those who followed it the least closely.
Prevent cancer – Higher adherence to a Mediterranean diet may help prevent cancer, according to studies.
Saute food in olive oil instead of butter.
Increase fruit and vegetable intake by having them as snacks or including them in other recipes.
Have a fish meal in place of red meat for at least two times each week.
