You've never even thought about the reason why, have you? Neither did we.
Although, if you really think about it why would they make rounded windows and not normal squared ones – you would think it would've been a given seeing as squared windows work for our cars and homes for generations.
However, when the commercial jetliner rose to prominence in the 1950s, capable of flying at greater speeds and higher altitudes than ever before, two planes fell apart—literally disintegrated—in midair.
Curved windowpanes on the other hand, which have no focal point, distribute that stress, reducing the likelihood of cracks or breaks. Circular shapes are also stronger and resist deformation, and can thus survive the extreme differences in pressure between the inside and outside of the aircraft.
Keep that in mind the next time you're gazing out that window seat!

This paper proposes a new machine tool structure design for machining based on a Delta Robot architecture as object of study, known as Tsai's Manipulator, patented by Tsai in 1997. The new architecture employs only rotary joints instead of spherical ones as it is usual for Delta Robots. The rotary joints allow its mount under pretension to eliminate clearances or backlash, avoiding the use of expensive spherical joints. All the other mechanical parts are standard components, which makes the solution attractive in terms of cost. A simplified inverse kinematic solution over the one proposed by Tsai is presented, based on a practical approach. The simplified solution reduces the number of steps to solve the inverse kinematics without any loss of performance. In addition, a solution to deal with the coupled axis without parasitic motion is presented. To increase the accuracy and the stiffness of the robot, a special attention was given to the rotary joints using preload rotational ball bearing joints. The structure parts were manufactured mostly by laser cutting with almost no complementary machining processes. In order to evaluate the proposed solutions, a prototype was built and a dedicated control software was developed for this particular robot. Workpieces were milled with the robot to demonstrate its capability and the advantages regarding the proposed machine architecture.

to mop up WPP AUNZ?
WPP already controls the local Australian company. The money it is spending only buys the 38.5% of the company it doesn't own. The market capitalisation of the local company today is $596.5 million at 70 cents a share.
The local stock exchange listing goes back to 2016 when Australian based WPP businesses were effectively backed into the ASX by taking over STW Communications.
This created the largest communications services parent company in the region with 90 plus businesses and more than 5,500 people.
Revenues then were a combined $850 million but have slipped since.
The UK-based WPP is buying at a low point, with sales down but with prospects for growth. And it will get a business with $70 million in costs stripped out in 2020. The benefit next year will be reduced overheads of about $50 million.
WPP AUNZ expects full 2020 financial year net sales to be between $607 million and $610 million, a fall of about 14% to 15% on 2019, but the prospects for 2021 and next year are better.
Back to the global holding company. With the dip from the pandemic, WPP plans to recover global sales over the next two years back to 2019 levels and then grow by 3-4% each year.
To do this the company needs to make each dollar work harder, with less duplicated effort across the world.
It's all about consistency in the global operating model. Currently, Australia is structured and works in a different way to the rest of the WPP empire, although WPP AUNZ CEO Jens Monsees has been relentlessly working at simplifying the local operation.
John Rogers, chief financial officer at WPP in London, says the operating model is too complex.
"We've got over ten different approaches to how we operate at the country level," he told an investor briefing in London.
"We've got a long tail of small agencies in unprofitable countries for example.
"We've got far too many management layers, duplication of effort across technology and production assets and so forth. And of course, significant, historically at least in 2019, travel and personal costs.
"Moving forwards, we want to simplify what we do, three clearly defined operating models by country, significant consolidation of local agencies, simplified organisational structures, standard platforms leveraging our scale, and of course, continuing to implement some of the changes that we've seen to our ways of working over the last nine months through COVID."
Rogers sees about GBP150 million of savings.
And how those savings sit with other effiiciencies over time:
WPP began the process of simplifying its business about two years ago in response to slowing growth.
Mark Read, who took over as CEO of WPP from founder Sir Martin Sorrell, says there wasn't a strong vision, or purpose, or clarity of what WPP stood for.
"We had nine separate creative or digital networks that made the business very difficult to manage and probably more than 500 different brands across the company," he says.
"And our financial model was not sustainable. There was lack of discipline on how we allocated capital. Our dividend was approaching 60% of earnings and our debt was approaching GBP5 billion (AUD1.7 billion)."
Since then the company structure has simplified from 25 global networks, including Kantar, to 10. From 65 specialty businesses to 40. From 500 plus brands to closer to 220.
"We've done this by the process of merging and combining offices, shutting businesses that needed to be shut and raising GBP3.5 billion *(AUD6.1 billion) from disposals, most notably of Kantar," says Read.
"We've raised GBP2.5 billion (AUD4.36 billion) and kept a 40% stake in Kantar at the end of last year. And that transaction on its own put us in a very strong position to prosper through the challenges of 2020 and COVID.
"So how can we enter 2021? I'd say having made significant progress, much of it during COVID. We haven't been sitting on our hands over the last nine months, but we've been taking action.
"We've seen an improved organic growth performance pre-COVID.
"Our new business has been stellar and our existing business at risk has been much lower than it has been historically.
"We have a much improved financial performance, and our net debt at the end of Q3 was down to GBP2.3 billion, but we've also, and I think most importantly, been taking a lot of action during this period to be ready for 2021."
Read says client spend is holding up but is shifting.
Clients expect their marketing technology budget to increase. They're spending more money on market technology than they do on traditional agency fees.
"So we need to continue to invest in those sort of shifting areas of the business, which is what we've been doing," says Read.
"I see the opportunity is in digital communications. It's in experience, it's in commerce and it's in technology."
ANALYSIS - Why WPP wants all of the Australian business it already controls
By Chris Pash | 11 January 2021
WPP's move to take control of 100% of its Australian operations is all about efficiency and stretching the overheads of a global business.
The move also means that there will be fewer hard numbers to judge the state of the local advertising industry.
Currently WPP AUNZ, as an ASX-listed company, must report publicly its financials, at least half yearly and annually.
When rolled into the UK company, Australia becomes a unit in a bigger whole and, judging by other holding companies, the local operations may get the briefest of mentions during earnings updates.
But that consideration -- although it will mean a saving in administration -- had little to do with the decision to go after WPP AUNZ.
The pandemic sparked a hunt for cost savings at WPP, the world's biggest holding company, to prepare for an expected deep downturn in economic activity.
But why then is the UK-based holding company prepared to pay about $230 million to mop up WPP AUNZ?

Factory turns out functional health drinks
Date: 13/01/2022 | Source: Pyongyang Times | Read original version at source
Last year, the December 15 Medal of Quality was awarded to the bifid yogurt, activated bacteria ice cream and ice cream with egg and milk taste of the O-il General Health Drink Factory.
According to Kim Un Hui, manageress of the factory, bifid bacteria play an important role as enteric bacteria in maintaining the health of the human body as they live in the intestines of humans, especially in the colon.
Especially, they ferment sugar in the intestines to generate acetic and lactic acids and the generated acids restrain the growth of colon bacillus, dysentery bacillus and putrefactive bacteria to improve intestinal flora and prevent the increase of ammonia caused by diarrhoea, constipation and abnormal fermentation. They also detoxify toxic compounds and stick to intestinal mucosa to prevent the infiltration of pathogen and the induction of the carcinoma of colon.
With benefits of bifid bacteria increasing continuously, different countries widely use the bacteria to develop health products which retard the aging of the human body and maintain the youth of cell.
Among them, fermented products take the lion's share.
The factory's bifid bacteria yogurt is a product designed to improve the physiological functions of bifid and enhance digestive absorption and immunizing power to the maximum.
It has become the favourite food of both children and adults as it harmoniously combines the fragrance and taste of fermentation and soft sense of mouth, prevents indigestion and boosts immunity.
The ice cream with egg and milk taste that has the fragrance of egg and the activated bacteria ice cream that has originally fragrant and refreshing taste are also the products that are favoured by people and produced in largest quantities.
"The lactic acid ice cream, which is also called probiotic bacteria ice cream, is being developed in the way of cultivating and adding the bacteria that are useful for the human body," said Jin Song Sim, section chief of the factory.
The factory's activated bacteria ice cream is made by combining three probiotic bacteria, which are known worldwide as highly effective lactic acid bacteria, and fermenting them before keeping lactic acid bacteria alive in products and the factory continues to improve its melting point, swelling rate and sense of mouth.
The ice cream with egg and milk taste contributes to improving intestinal flora by adding fructo-oligosaccharide, a nutritious source of probiotic bacteria.
The factory makes these ice creams in different shapes to arouse the feeling of liveliness and intimacy to meet the psychology of consumers.
The activated bacteria ice cream has flower patterns, while the ice cream with egg and milk taste is in the shape of the yolk and white of an egg and the yellow part has the taste of the yolk.

High-income retirees may see their tax brackets fall, but still face higher taxes on Social Security benefits and higher Medicare premiums.
Though high-income retirees are looking forward to lower taxes once they've exited the workplace, they can still expect to pay stealth taxes in the form of Social Security income levies and higher Medicare premiums.
"For a lot of retirees, the thinking is, Oh, they're retired and their tax bracket is going down," said William Reichenstein, professor emeritus at Baylor University.
He led a discussion on tax-efficient withdrawal strategies in retirement at the Financial Planning Association's annual conference in Chicago this week.
"Their tax bracket may go from 24 percent to 22 percent, but because of Social Security taxes, their marginal rate goes from 24 percent to 40.7 percent — it will increase sharply," he said.
Here's why lower income-tax brackets may not necessarily translate into a smaller tax bite overall.
Those payroll taxes may be history once you've stopped working, but remember that you're still facing a slate of additional levies.
For instance, there's the 3.8 percent net investment income tax, which is applicable if you have net investment income and a modified adjusted gross income that exceeds $125,000 if single or $250,000 if married and filing jointly.
There's also the capital gains rate you'll pay as you sell appreciated securities out of your taxable account: These are assessed at a top rate of 20 percent.
When it comes to Social Security benefits, whether you pay taxes on your benefits will depend on your "combined income."
That is, the sum of your adjusted gross income, nontaxable interest and half of your Social Security benefits.
If you filed as single and your combined income is $25,000 to $34,000 (or $32,000 to $44,000 if you're married and filing jointly), you can expect to pay income taxes on up to 50 percent of your benefits.
High-income retirees can also expect to shell out more in monthly premiums for Medicare Part B (doctor's visits) and Part D (prescription drugs).
The standard Part B premium in 2018 is $134 per month. Whether you pay more will depend on your modified adjusted gross income — or your total adjusted gross income plus your tax-exempt interest income — from two years earlier.
"If your income rises one more dollar above the bracket, it could cause your premiums to rise," Reichenstein said.
In that sense, if your 2016 modified adjusted gross income exceeded $85,000 (single) or $170,000 (married and filing jointly), you can expect to pay higher premiums. See below.
The same goes for Medicare Part D premiums.
Given the volley of taxes that can hit retirees, financial advisors need to work with clients to evaluate which pots of money they should use first as they retire.
By having their savings spread across taxable accounts, tax-deferred accounts like your traditional IRA, your 401(k) or your 403(b) or tax-free accounts like your Roth IRA, retirees can manage their withdrawals and minimize the levies they pay.

Toyota Auris Touring Sports Hybrid (2013-2019) review
The Toyota Auris Touring Sports Hybrid is a fine choice for those seeking practicality and low running costs
Big boot
Cheap to run
Noisy automatic gearbox
Not much fun to drive
Dated looks
While some carmakers are pushing on with all-electric models, hybrid is the technology Toyota is backing for now – and with good reason. The Toyota Prius is the biggest name in the hybrid game, and it shares much with the Auris – and this, the Auris Touring Sports Hybrid.
Its name sounds very grand, but to the majority of buyers, it's an Auris estate, plain and simple. That means it's mechanically identical to the Auris hatchback. However, the Touring Sports does have a big advantage over its sister, in that it's a mid-sized estate. When combined with its hybrid mechanicals, that makes it quite a rare thing.
It serves company-car buyers seeking affordable and practical transport very well indeed, with a low Benefit-in-Kind rating of 19% in the 2018/19 tax year, thanks to CO2 emissions of 99g/km. It doesn't offer the same fiscal benefits for private buyers though, as it still attracts a £130-a-year road-tax bill.
Where every Auris Touring Sports Hybrid owner benefits is at the petrol pumps. Toyota claims it'll manage 65.6mpg on average, and is able to travel a mile or two on its electric motors alone. That's less than any plug-in hybrid, but it doesn't require charging, either – Toyota describes the car as a 'self-charging' hybrid. That has significant benefits in stop-start traffic, as the Auris doesn't need to fire up its engine anywhere near as often as a petrol or diesel car might, helping reduce local air pollution.
All that's excellent news for those who choose cars with their heads (or wallets). Those who choose with their hearts might be a little more disappointed. Most of the Auris' petrol or diesel-powered rivals are nicer to drive and to look at, and electric hatchback rivals such as the Audi A3 e-tron, Volkswagen e-Golf and Nissan Leaf are all more fun.
Under the bonnet you'll find a 1.8-litre petrol engine closely related to the one in the Toyota Prius, along with a similar CVT-style automatic transmission. A common characteristic of CVT gearboxes is a tendency to drone under acceleration, and a prod of the accelerator pedal sends the revs rising. It's fine at low speeds or at a motorway cruise, but becomes tiresome on winding roads.
It's on those journeys where the Auris' comprehensive range of standard equipment will come into its own. There are four trim levels, although we think the Icon Tech is the pick of the range. The second trim of the four balances price and equipment well, and comes with air-conditioning, a seven-inch infotainment screen, DAB radio and a rear parking camera.
The Auris Touring Sports lacks flair when it comes to interior styling, but the materials are beyond reproach. It feels extremely well built, and owner satisfaction scores are high. Interior space is pretty good, although legroom lags behind the petrol and diesel-powered Skoda Octavia Estate and Peugeot 308 SW. Few other hybrids of this size are as versatile, however.
All Auris Touring Sports come with Toyota Safety Sense as standard. This packages together autonomous emergency braking (AEB), lane-departure warning, auto-dipping headlights and road-sign recognition. It won't come as a surprise to learn the hatchback version was awarded the maximum five-star rating by the experts at Euro NCAP; we'd expect the estate to perform just as well.
Toyota has an enviable reputation for reliability, but even so, the Auris Touring Sports Hybrid comes with a five-year/100,000-mile warranty.
For a more detailed look at the Toyota Auris Touring Sports hybrid, read on for the rest of our in-depth review.

What are we without faith?
So many in our communities, families, workplaces have long faces that rarely smile. Anxiety and depression have grown dramatically in our society in recent times. I often wonder why is there an apparent absence of the spiritual or what has it been replaced by especially from my generation in their early thirties.
A recent visit to a home where great sadness and loss resided, left a lasting impression on me. Despite the apparent pain and great burden of bereavement carried by two parents because of their young son's death, there was also an opportunity to hope. While speaking about their raw and fragile wound, both parents admitted that they could not get out of the bed in the morning if they did not have a sense of Gods presence in their lives. In a place where words seem so desperately inadequate tragic circumstances like this rely on empathy, love and perhaps most of all faith.
Where would most of us be without some sense of God in all our lives. I often contemplate that no matter how small and insecure my faith or any of ours may be, it is still such a wonderful gift, given to us from our God. In this regard it is very comforting that Jesus assures us that if our faith was only the size of a mustard seed great things could be made possible for us all.
One of the greatest temptations in life is at times to lose faith, to fall out with God and not perhaps to make up again. I am sure that most of us have had occasions in our lives when we have asked why? When sickness, berevement, conflict, hurt, separation, anxiety and burden come to our story we may well ask and wonder where is God in all of this.

Apps & wearables Features
Ruby and the myth of developer productivity
Recently I was in a conference room with the CIO of a large corporation and representatives from a vendor that provides a somewhat unrelated product. The corporation's software is mainly in Java. For some reason, in the middle of the discussion, one of the vendor's 20-something presales engineers started pitching that the company rewrite all of its software in Ruby.
By Andrew Oliver | Jun 01, 2012
|InfoWorld
The reason? It would result in higher developer productivity.
The proposition that this company would rewrite millions of lines of Java code in Ruby to realise "developer productivity" was absurd. Not surprisingly, the CIO decided he had "another meeting" and excused himself.
This isn't an isolated presales engineer. Productivity benefit has been the pitch for most "new" high-level languages for some time. The Ruby community especially likes to beat this drum.
I think it's time for a new sales pitch for Ruby - and for most high-level languages. Developer productivity is a weak pitch in a multideveloper project, not to mention a ridiculous approach when rewriting code is required, because the costs will long outweigh the benefits. The Ruby community, in particular, needs to outgrow this argument, mainly because Ruby has other, better points in its favour.
Once upon a time, developer productivty was indeed a rational argument for choosing one language over another. When we moved from Assembly to C, for instance - we're talking a major reduction in finger ache, let alone not having to manage the stack. When we moved from C++ to Java, not having to manage memory was huge. But the individual productivity difference from Java to Ruby is comparatively small. Don't get me wrong, Ruby has an edge - which might increase as Java grows more complex and Ruby loses more of its rough edges (as with jRuby) - but it will never be rewrite-the-project-sized margin.
The fact is, issues other than language choice tend to have a greater impact on productivity. On a multideveloper project, team dynamics and software development practices like continuous integration and proper revision control matter more. Communication structures of the team matter more (see Conway's Law). Even a moderate increase in individual developer productivity, which a language change might incur, would be unlikely to make a big impact. Team dynamics and overall project management are that important.
So if developer productivity isn't a good pitch for Ruby, what is? First of all, Ruby has gone mainstream: There are lots of crack developers who have come to prefer Ruby (personally, I like the core Ruby APIs a lot).
Secondly, Ruby has sort of become a first language of the cloud. If I were making the argument that a client should switch from Java to Ruby, I would point out that when cutting-edge PaaS (platform as a service) players offer Java, they couch it as "legacy support." And of course, the fact that Oracle now owns Java and is in itself a risk. Let's face it: Oracle is known for monetising products at the expense of the greater partner ecosystem.
The dirty little secret of our industry is that while we focus on "rapid application development," we spend more time maintaining, debugging, monitoring, and enhancing existing applications. Most of this code is poorly organised and often poorly written. A big reason for that is a general shortage of good developers - and good app dev management.
Rather than obsess over incremental gains from new languages, in most cases you should play to your developers' strongest suit, raise your project management game, and tune your team dynamics. Get those basics right and you'll really raise productivity.

International property guides
Hot Mallorcan market
Country Life November 15, 2007
mallorca 15th nov 07
Spain's pain has been Mallorca's gain these past few years. Not only because wealthy international property-hunters who might previously have bought in 'the Costas' have been diverting en masse to the jewel of the Balearics, but because the Mallorcan authorities have managed to steer the island away from the crass over-development that has scarred so much of southern Spain. Tourism is Mallorca's life-blood, but with 95% of holidaymakers concentrated in only 5% of its territory, upmarket tourists of the residential kind have plenty of room to spread their wings in less-developed areas of this elegant island. Meanwhile, massive current and future investment in Mallorca's road, marina and golf infrastructure can only enhance the island's status as one of Europe's safest and most rewarding overseas-property destinations, where, in the past decade, average house prices have grown twice as fast as those on the mainland.
* Properties for sale in Spain and the Balearics
With super-rich buyers from France, Ireland, Russia and Sweden now homing in on a market traditionally dominated by Britons and Germans, Mallorca's leading international agents are in expansive mood. Convinced that the momentum at the top end of the market is now 'unstoppable', estate agent-turned-developer Matthias Kühn of Kühn & Partner launched the Balearics' most expensive house, the Olympian Cielo de Bonaire overlooking the bay of Pollença in the north of the island, on the market earlier this year with a guide price of ?50 million. The grandiose neo-Palladian mansion, with dramatic interiors by Italian designer Danilo Silvestrin, has everything the jet-setting billionaire could wish for vast, double-height reception areas, a two-bedroom master suite, six guest suites, a cinema, a huge swimming pool, a state-of-the-art spa and a helipad.
Mr Kühn seems unconcerned that the property, which took 12 years to complete, could take several more years to sell, but with dozens of successful projects currently on the go around the island, he can probably afford to take a long-term view. Recent winners include his Las Brisas scheme on the coast at Puerto Andratx, now virtually sold out, with only one cliff-top home left for sale at 'well in excess of ?20m'. Vendors of fincas and estates in Mallorca's tranquil hinterland rarely expect to sell their properties overnight. The current moratorium on new development across the island means that prime property commands an ever-greater premium, and most owners are content to wait for a buyer who will pay their asking price, however long that takes. A whistle-stop helicopter tour with Engel & Völkers reveals the rich variety of historic properties to be found in secret, unspoilt corners of the island.
The former 11th-century Moorish watchtower in rural Llucmajor, in central south Mallorca, was captured by the Christians two centuries later and rebuilt as the Binificat monastery. Converted to a two-storey, four-bedroom house in the 1980s, the atmospheric 8,000sq ft building has been magnificently restored by its current owner, a Swiss writer, restauranteur and businessman with multiple interests in the island, and is for sale at ?3.2m (call + 34 971 44 36 36). A similar guide price is quoted for a beautifully renovated 100-year-old finca at Cas Concos, near Santanyi, in the island's emerging south-east corner: the delightfully rustic San Mero has two grand reception halls, a huge living/dining room, a huge master suite, two guest wings and separate staff quarters, the whole set in six acres of glorious landscaped gardens (Contact +34 971 642 101).
Traditional Mallorcan farming estates rarely come on the open market, and the present vendor of the 350-acre Huerta de la Font, in the hills behind Pollença, had to buy out a dozen family members to secure ownership of the estate, with its imposing, 16th-century main house, the Can Vela Gran, which had been in his family for generations. During his 25-year tenure, the previously tenanted finca has been carefully transformed into a rambling country house of considerable charm, set in the middle of its land against the dramatic backdrop of the surrounding mountains. Engel & Völkers quote a guide price of ?6.85m (Contact +34 971 532 050).
Historically, farms and estates were passed down to the elder sons of Mallorca's landed families; younger sons had to make do with land on the coast, which was considered to be more or less worthless. What a contrast with today's fast-moving coastal property scene, especially in the fashionable south-west corner, which offers ready access to a renascent Palma and its airport, as well as the island's best golf courses and marinas. This was the area identified by Robert Maunder in 1995 as the ideal location for his fledgling First Mallorca estate agency, since when he has seen the market for prime waterfront properties grow beyond anyone's wildest dreams.
The sweeping upward curves of the iconic, open-plan Seagull villas created by the Uruguayan architect Alberto Rubio, who has worked on the island for 25 years or more, are a potent symbol of the south-west's dynamic, fast-moving marketplace. First Mallorca sold two of these villas earlier this year for between ?4.5m and ?7.5m; a third is currently being revamped throughout, and will be relaunched on the market next year with a guide price of about ?6.5m. But in an increasingly youthful market, there is also good value to be found in this area, says Mr Maunder, citing the success of 'high-spec' waterside developments such as Gran Folies at Puerto Andratx, where a pristine three-bedroom apartment overlooking the bay of Cala Llamp is on offer at ?795,000.
Still in the south-west, the exclusive golf enclave of Son Vida is still Mallorca's best-known residential area. Here, the financial elite of Spain, Germany and the UK vie with each other to buy frontline villas around Son Vida's three manicured golf courses, at prices ranging from ?5m to ?20m. Son Vida specialists Warth & Redlich quote a guide price of ?9.8m for a luxurious, south-facing, seven-bedroom villa with 16,500sq ft of accommodation on three floors and 'all the toys', set amid shaded porches, wide sun terraces and lush Mediterranean gardens.

Q: Validating Google sign in ID token in Go I am finding the way to validate ID token for Google sign-in for Android with a Go backend server project.
What is the equivalent function for validating ID tokens by using a Google API Client Library in Go?
From this page on Using a Google API Client Library section
https://developers.google.com/identity/sign-in/android/backend-auth#using-a-google-api-client-library
There are Java and Python examples and there are links for verify ID tokens with the Google API Client Library for PHP, Node.js, and other languages. I checked for my target language; Go here
https://github.com/google/google-api-go-client/blob/master/GettingStarted.md
However, I found not equivalent function for validating token like in Java and Python example. Is there any function in Go for doing such thing?
I don't want to use token info endpoint
https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v3/tokeninfo?id_token=XYZ123
since it introduces possible latency and network error. I wish to use Google API Client Library. Please guide me where should I look into.

A: Google's idToken is actually in JWT format, which is compact and self-contained JSON with signature.
See also: https://jwt.io/introduction/
google-auth-library-nodejs's OAuth2Client.prototype.verifyIdToken verify the idtoken using Google's public key and extract ClaimSet from the idtoken without calling the tokeninfo endpoint.
I just ported the verifyIdToken function from google-auth-library-nodejs, and created a library for this: https://github.com/futurenda/google-auth-id-token-verifier.
Usage:
import (
     "github.com/futurenda/google-auth-id-token-verifier"
)

v := googleAuthIDTokenVerifier.Verifier{}
aud := "xxxxxx-yyyyyyy.apps.googleusercontent.com"
err := v.VerifyIDToken(TOKEN, []string{
    aud,
})
if err == nil {
    claimSet, err := googleAuthIDTokenVerifier.Decode(TOKEN)
    // claimSet.Iss,claimSet.Email ... (See claimset.go)
}

A: import (
    "google.golang.org/api/idtoken"
)

var token string           // this comes from your web or mobile app maybe
const googleClientId = ""  // from credentials in the Google dev console

tokenValidator, err := idtoken.NewValidator(context.Background())
if err != nil {
    // handle error, stop execution
}

payload, err := tokenValidator.Validate(context.Background(), token, googleClientId)
if err != nil {
    // handle error, stop execution
}

email := payload.Claims["email"]
name  := payload.Claims["name"]
// and so on...

You may need to provide your Google credentials to your application:
https://cloud.google.com/docs/authentication/production

A: This is how I've done it using https://github.com/google/google-api-go-client library:
import (
    "google.golang.org/api/oauth2/v2"
    "net/http"
)

var httpClient = &http.Client{}

func verifyIdToken(idToken string) (*oauth2.Tokeninfo, error) {
    oauth2Service, err := oauth2.New(httpClient)
    tokenInfoCall := oauth2Service.Tokeninfo()
    tokenInfoCall.IdToken(idToken)
    tokenInfo, err := tokenInfoCall.Do()
    if err != nil {
        return nil, err
    }
    return tokenInfo, nil
}

oauth2.Tokeninfo object has info about the user.
Note that this makes a call to https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v2/tokeninfo and I think that all Google API Client Libraries make this http call under the hood.

A: It's very easy and has a one-liner solution. Just use the Official library:
go get google.golang.org/api/idtoken

and then write this code:
payload, err := idtoken.Validate(context.Background(), tokenString, audience)
if err != nil {
    panic(err)
}
fmt.Print(payload.Claims)

Then you will get this output:
map[
    aud:<Your web application client id>
    azp:<Your android application client id>
    email:<Authenticated user email>
    email_verified:true
    exp:<expire at>

This article is about the stage of prenatal development. For other uses, see Fetus (disambiguation).
"Foetus" redirects here. For the band, see Foetus (band). For the film, see Foetus (film).
A fetus or foetus (/ˈfiːtəs/; plural fetuses, feti, foetuses or foeti) is the unborn offspring of an animal that develops from an embryo. Following embryonic development the fetal stage of development takes place. In human prenatal development, fetal development begins from the ninth week after fertilisation (or eleventh week gestational age) and continues until birth. Prenatal development is a continuum, with no clear defining feature distinguishing an embryo from a fetus. However, a fetus is characterized by the presence of all the major body organs, though they will not yet be fully developed and functional and some not yet situated in their final anatomical location.
The word fetus (plural fetuses) is related to the Latin fētus ("offspring", "bringing forth", "hatching of young")  and the Greek "φυτώ" to plant. The British, Irish, and Commonwealth spelling is foetus, which has been in use since at least 1594. The spelling with -oe- arose in Late Latin, in which the distinction between the vowel sounds -oe- and -e- had been lost. This spelling is the most common in most Commonwealth nations, except in the medical literature, where fetus is used. The more classical spelling fetus is used in Canada and the United States. In addition, fetus is now the standard English spelling throughout the world in medical journals. The spelling faetus was also used historically.
A human fetus, attached to placenta, at three months gestational age.
In humans, the fetal stage commences at the beginning of the ninth week, fertilisation age or eleventh week gestational age. At the start of the fetal stage, the fetus is typically about 30 millimetres (1.2 in) in length from crown-rump, and weighs about 8 grams. The head makes up nearly half of the size of the fetus. Breathing-like movements of the fetus are necessary for the stimulation of lung development, rather than for obtaining oxygen. The heart, hands, feet, brain and other organs are present, but are only at the beginning of development and have minimal operation. The genitalia of the fetus starts to form and placenta becomes fully functional during week 9.
At this point in development, uncontrolled movements and twitches occur as muscles, the brain, and pathways begin to develop.
A woman pregnant for the first time (nulliparous) typically feels fetal movements at about 21 weeks, whereas a woman who has given birth before will typically feel movements by 20 weeks. By the end of the fifth month, the fetus is about 20 cm (8 inches) long.
Artist's depiction of fetus at 40 weeks gestational age, about 51 cm (20 in) from head to toe.
The amount of body fat rapidly increases. Lungs are not fully mature. Thalamic brain connections, which mediate sensory input, form. Bones are fully developed, but are still soft and pliable. Iron, calcium, and phosphorus become more abundant. Fingernails reach the end of the fingertips. The lanugo, or fine hair, begins to disappear, until it is gone except on the upper arms and shoulders. Small breast buds are present on both sexes. Head hair becomes coarse and thicker. Birth is imminent and occurs around the 38th week after fertilization. The fetus is considered full-term between weeks 36 and 40, when it is sufficiently developed for life outside the uterus. It may be 48 to 53 cm (19 to 21 inches) in length, when born. Control of movement is limited at birth, and purposeful voluntary movements develop all the way until puberty.
There is much variation in the growth of the human fetus. When fetal size is less than expected, the condition is known as intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) also called fetal growth restriction (FGR); factors affecting fetal growth can be maternal, placental, or fetal.
Fetal viability refers to a point in fetal development at which the fetus may survive outside the womb. The lower limit of viability is approximately 5-3/4 months gestational age and is usually later.
There is no sharp limit of development, age, or weight at which a fetus automatically becomes viable. According to data from 2003–05, survival rates are 20–35% for babies born at 23 weeks of gestation (5-3/4 months); 50–70% at 24-25 weeks (6 - 6-1/4 months); and >90% at 26-27 weeks (6-1/2 - 6-3/4 months) and over. It is rare for a baby weighing less than 1.1 pounds (0.50 kg) to survive.
When such premature babies are born, the main causes of mortality are that the respiratory system and the central nervous system are not completely differentiated. If given expert postnatal care, some preterm babies weighing less than 1.1 pounds (0.50 kg) may survive, and are referred to as extremely low birth weight or immature infants.
Preterm birth is the most common cause of infant mortality, causing almost 30 percent of neonatal deaths. At an occurrence rate of 5% to 18% of all deliveries, it is also more common than postmature birth, which occurs in 3% to 12% of pregnancies.
The heart and blood vessels of the circulatory system, form relatively early during embryonic development, but continue to grow and develop in complexity in the growing fetus. A functional circulatory system is a biological necessity, since mammalian tissues can not grow more than a few cell layers thick without an active blood supply. The prenatal circulation of blood is different from postnatal circulation, mainly because the lungs are not in use. The fetus obtains oxygen and nutrients from the mother through the placenta and the umbilical cord.
With the first breath after birth, the system changes suddenly. Pulmonary resistance is reduced dramatically, prompting more blood to move into the pulmonary arteries from the right atrium and ventricle of the heart and less to flow through the foramen ovale into the left atrium. The blood from the lungs travels through the pulmonary veins to the left atrium, producing an increase in pressure that pushes the septum primum against the septum secundum, closing the foramen ovale and completing the separation of the newborn's circulatory system into the standard left and right sides. Thereafter, the foramen ovale is known as the fossa ovalis.
The ductus arteriosus normally closes within one or two days of birth, leaving the ligamentum arteriosum, while the umbilical vein and ductus venosus usually closes within two to five days after birth, leaving, respectively, the liver's ligamentum teres and ligamentum venosus.
The placenta functions as a maternal-fetal barrier against the transmission of microbes. When this is insufficient, mother-to-child transmission of infectious diseases can occur.
Maternal IgG antibodies cross the placenta, giving the fetus passive immunity against those diseases for which the mother has antibodies. This transfer of antibodies in humans begins as early as the fifth month (gestational age) and certainly by the sixth month.
A developing fetus is highly susceptible to anomalies in its growth and metabolism, increasing the risk of birth defects. One area of concern is the lifestyle choices made during pregnancy. Diet is especially important in the early stages of development. Studies show that supplementation of the person's diet with folic acid reduces the risk of spina bifida and other neural tube defects. Another dietary concern is whether breakfast is eaten. Skipping breakfast could lead to extended periods of lower than normal nutrients in the maternal blood, leading to a higher risk of prematurity, or birth defects.
Alcohol consumption may increase the risk of the development of fetal alcohol syndrome, a condition leading to intellectual disability in some infants. Smoking during pregnancy may also lead to miscarriages and low birth weight (2500 grams, 5.5 lb). Low birth weight is a concern for medical providers due to the tendency of these infants, described as "premature by weight", to have a higher risk of secondary medical problems.
X-rays are known to have possible adverse effects on the development of the fetus, and the risks need to be weighed against the benefits.
Some research shows that fetal ultrasounds (including Doppler, 3D/4D ultrasound and 2D ultrasound) can have some effects on birth weight and neurodevelopment. A particular concern is the possible link between the widespread use of fetal ultrasounds over the years, and the huge increase in the numbers of autism cases.
Congenital disorders are acquired before birth. Infants with certain congenital heart defects can survive only as long as the ductus remains open: in such cases the closure of the ductus can be delayed by the administration of prostaglandins to permit sufficient time for the surgical correction of the anomalies. Conversely, in cases of patent ductus arteriosus, where the ductus does not properly close, drugs that inhibit prostaglandin synthesis can be used to encourage its closure, so that surgery can be avoided.
Other heart birth defects include ventricular septal defect, pulmonary atresia, and tetralogy of Fallot.
Fetal pain , its existence and its implications are debated politically and academically. According to the conclusions of a review published in 2005, "Evidence regarding the capacity for fetal pain is limited but indicates that fetal perception of pain is unlikely before the third trimester." However, developmental neurobiologists argue that the establishment of thalamocortical connections (at about 6-1/2 months) is an essential event with regard to fetal perception of pain. Nevertheless, the perception of pain involves sensory, emotional and cognitive factors and it is "impossible to know" when pain is experienced, even if it is known when thalamocortical connections are established. Some authors  argue that fetal pain is possible from the second half of pregnancy: "The available scientific evidence makes it possible, even probable, that fetal pain perception occurs well before late gestation" wrote KJS Anand in the journal of the IASP.
Whether a fetus has the ability to feel pain and suffering is part of the abortion debate. In the United States, for example, pro-life advocates have proposed legislation that would require providers of abortions to inform pregnant people that their fetuses may feel pain during the procedure and that would require each person to accept or decline anesthesia for the fetus.
Abortion of a human pregnancy is legal and/or tolerated in most countries, although with gestational time limits that normally prohibit late-term abortions.
A fetus is a stage in the prenatal development of viviparous organisms. This stage lies between embryogenesis and birth . Many vertebrates have fetal stages, ranging from most mammals to many fish. In addition, some invertebrates bear live young, including some species of onychophora and many arthropods. The prevalence of convergent evolution to the fetal stage shows that it is relatively easy to develop. It presumably originates from a delay of egg release, with the eggs being hatched inside the parent before being laid. Over time, the robustness of the egg wall can be decreased until it becomes little more than a sac.
The fetuses of most mammals are situated similarly to the human fetus within their mothers. However, the anatomy of the area surrounding a fetus is different in litter-bearing animals compared to humans: each fetus of a litter-bearing animal is surrounded by placental tissue and is lodged along one of two long uteri instead of the single uterus found in a human female.
Development at birth varies considerably among animals, and even among mammals. Altricial species are relatively helpless at birth and require considerable parental care and protection. In contrast, precocial animals are born with open eyes, have hair or down, have large brains, and are immediately mobile and somewhat able to flee from, or defend themselves against, predators. Primates are precocial at birth, with the exception of humans.
The duration of gestation in placental mammals varies from 18 days in jumping mice to 23 months in elephants. Generally speaking, fetuses of larger land mammals require longer gestation periods.
The benefits of a fetal stage means that young are more developed when they are born. Therefore, they may need less parental care and may be better able to fend for themselves. However, carrying fetuses exerts costs on the mother, who must take on extra food to fuel the growth of her offspring, and whose mobility and comfort may be affected (especially toward the end of the fetal stage).
In some instances, the presence of a fetal stage may allow organisms to time the birth of their offspring to a favorable season.

Certain clothing items (bulky sweaters, too big coats, large collars) can be a big loss for your image by adding some extra pounds to your silhouette. Not to mention that it will make you look like an old fashioned frumpy lady. And if your image counts, and it should count because this is the era when the first impression is the way you look, then you should consider the following style mistakes, and try as much as you can not to make it anymore.
It's true, on a flawless silhouette they look good, but most of the time they highlight your flaws instead of hiding them, and you might look exactly like the Michelin logo. So, if you are a fan of tight clothes, this is not enough to put you in a great position.
And you'll say now, not tight or wide then what should I wear? Well, you should balance these two things, because wide clothes will make you look bigger, and you can avoid this by combining wide with tight. So, if you choose a wide top wear skinny pants, and vice versa.
This can be one of the biggest mistakes you can make. This type of dress gives a pear-shaped body, and even if you have an hourglass or apple shape body, this can be a big disadvantage for you. If you still want to wear this dress pattern then add a belt in your waist to make you look feminine.
Choosing to wear the right bra for your beasts will make you silhouette look impeccable. So, highlight the narrow part below your breasts, and choose the right bra and the perfect top.
They can be the perfect outfit, most of the time, but adopting a head-to-toe manly outfit, it's so wrong. Besides that it will make you less feminine, it will add some extra pounds to your silhouette. You can wear boyfriend jeans, but not your boyfriend's, and the wrong jacket with the wrong shoulders will give you a thumbs down look.
Yes, this can be the best solution for many of us, but the wrong combination can bring volume to your body. And who would want that? Like I said above, create a balance to your body.
The wrong prints can put you in the wrong place, making you look like very trashy. Pants, for example, with small prints matched with a blouse with wide prints…wrong combination ever!
Shoes can do magic if we wear them right. Platforms should be matched carefully with your clothes, and gladiator sandals don't look great on a thick leg.

German champ opens Last 32 with a big road win
Brose Baskets Bamberg opened its first Eurocup campaign in four years with a sounding 67-86 road win over BCM Gravelines Dunkerque on Wednesday night. Bamberg took the lead for good early in the encounter. Led by D'Or Fischer and Zach Wright, German champ opened up a big lead before halftime, and never looked back as Fischer finished with 20 points on 9-for-9 from two-point range, 5 rebounds and 2 blocks, while Wright had 17 points, 9 assists and 4 rebounds. Elias Harris scored 12, and Rakim Sanders chipped in with 10 in victory. For the hosts, Steven Gray had 18 points plus 6 rebounds, Marcus Lewis scored 10, and Ousmane Camara grabbed 12 rebounds along with his 8 points in defeat.
At the start of the game, Jonathan Rousselle hit a triple for 9-5, but Bamberg quickly replied. Sanders scored from long range, Fischer had a dunk and a jumper, before Casey Jacobsen hit from downtown for 11-17. Lewis and John Holland made put-backs for Gravelines, but Fischer hit a shot and assisted for Harris and 16-21 after 10 minutes. Harris hit a triple to start the second quarter, and Wright contributed with a steal and layup to extend it to 16-28 early in the second. Camara had another put-back for the hosts, and Juby Johnson nailed a three-pointer, forcing the visitors' timeout, but Karsten Tadda and Smith scored from long range, and Sanders had a fastbreak dunk for 29-42. Before half's end, Fischer hit another shot, and Wright buried a triple to give Bamberg 31-48 halftime lead.
Jacobsen hit a three-pointer and Anton Gavel had a layup to open the third quarter and 31-53. Gray had a jumper and a basket-plus-foul for Gravelines, but Fischer had a jumper and a dunk for 38-59. The hosts answered with a run fueled by Gray and Yakhouba Diawara, capped with a layup from Holland for 50-64. But Harris ended the third quarter with a triple, and Maik Zirbes scored three times inside at the start of the fourth for 54-73. Bokolo, Lewis and Gray tried to keep the hosts in touch, and Johnson hit from long range, but the Gravelines had no answer for Wright and Fischer who combined for 11 points, keeping the margin at 64-84, as the visitors closed out the game.

"Congratulations to Bamberg which really did a great job on us tonight. It's the best team we played so far in the season. The arrivals of Fischer and Harris give another dimension to this team, it's impressive. Nevertheless, we did a good job in the 2nd half especially in defense and we have some lessons to take from this game."
FLEMING, CHRIS
"We did a good job tonight and we quickly found our rhythm is this game. We were focused on our plays and it worked well. We also defended well on their 3-point shots. We have a lot of respect for BCM Gravelines Dunkerque and we achieved to make good starts in the 2nd and 3rd quarter."
GRAY, STEVEN
"It was a difficult game for us. Bamberg played really well tonight and we didn't find a solution. They are really big and intense on both sides of the floor and we were not efficient enough on our shooting."

My gorgeous cousin Julie is one of my life's VIPs. We were born six months apart and spent most of our childhood in Windsor together, making up skits and building forts. We nursed broken limbs at the same time (her arm; my collarbone) and were maid of honour in each other's weddings. We're lucky to live in the same city as adults and spending time with her is one of my favourite pastimes. She is a sister, cousin and best friend all rolled into one totally awesome person.

2012 London Olympics Recap: Rapinoe Scores Twice In Instant Classic Over Canada
By Peter Woodbrook@wernies Aug 6, 2012, 6:24pm PDT
Share All sharing options for: 2012 London Olympics Recap: Rapinoe Scores Twice In Instant Classic Over Canada
Alex Morgan's late game heroics might be the thing everyone remembers from the U.S. women's soccer 4-3 victory over Canada, but without Rapinoe's two goals the tune would be very different.
The U.S. had to overcome three separate one-goal deficits before finally pushing a team they have not lost to 27 times in a row into extra periods. Rapinoe scored in the 54th and 70th minutes, and Abby Wambach scored on a penalty kick in the 80th minute. But the victory shot belonged to Morgan, who continued adding to her legacy, with a header in the 123rd minute during stoppage time.
With the victory the ladies will have a World Cup rematch against Japan, who beat France 2-1 earlier in the day.
Michelle Kasold of San Jose and the rest of the field hockey team had an Olympics to forget as the U.S. finished at the bottom of their pool after losing to South Africa 7-0. It was a surprising result as the Americans had won or lost all their previous matches by one goal and had only given up six altogether. South Africa ended up just barely above the U.S., needing to win by at least six points to leapfrog the Americans.
Peter Varellas and the water polo team lost to Hungary 11-6 in a rematch of the 2008 Olympics final - one that saw the U.S. lost 14-10. Both teams were already guaranteed spots in the elimination rounds, so the loss was a matter of seeding. The U.S. will face Group A winner Croatia.
Kevin Durant helped power the men's basketball team to a victory over Argentina to improve this incarnation of the Dream Team's record to 5-0. The men will face Australia (3-2) in the quarterfinals.

In 1917, a Chicago insurance executive named Melvin Jones asked his business club to expand their horizons. By uniting and working together, he said, the business groups around the country could contribute to the betterment of their communities and the world at large. One of these business groups was named "The Lions Club" which became the name of the larger group. On June 7, 1917 they held an organizational meeting and The Lions Club was born. The club went international just three years later when Canada joined them. Later, Mexico, China and Cuba all joined as well as over 200 other countries and regions of the world.
Just a few years later, in 1925, a blind and deaf woman by the name of Helen Keller addressed the Lions at the international convention in Cedar Point, Ohio. During that address, she asked the Lions to focus their energies on ending preventable blindness wherever it is found. She challenged the gathered Lions to "be her knights of the blind in the crusade against darkness".
In 1945 with the formation of The United Nations, The International Lions Club became the only non-governmental agency (NGO) to sign the charter that established the UN. To this day, The International Lions Club remains a consultee member of the UN. Each year in March, the UN holds its annual Lions Day at the UN where the winner of the Lions International Peace Poster Contest is announced.
The Mass Lions have over 9,000 members in over 275 clubs. Each of these clubs works singly and in unison at times with other clubs and districts to eliminate blindness and help in their community in any way they can. In 1952 the Massachusetts Lions made Eye Research our official project. The Lions of Massachusetts have dedicated themselves to this one primary statewide project ever since, EYE RESEARCH.
We are fortunate to have some of the premier eye research facilities of the world, in our back yard. Among others, we have; Harvard Medical School, Howe Laboratory at Mass Eye and Ear Infirmary, Schepens Eye Research Institute, Joslin Diabetes Center, and The Mass Lions Eye Research Laboratory at BU Medical Center. Because of the Lions support over the years, Boston has become one of the leading Eye Research and Diabetes Treatment centers in the world!
The Boston laboratories have made many discoveries in diseases and pioneered instrumentation used for both surgery and diagnostic purposes. Some of the major findings include; laser beam treatments, upside-down tables for detached retinas, corneal transplants, soft contact lenses, specular photomicroscope, and recently, the scanning laser ophthalmoscope.
All of this started for the Mass Lions because in 1951 we became aware that each year, 2,500 premature babies were losing their sight at birth from "baby blindness". The Lions at that time formed "Mass Lions Eye Research Fund" dedicated to funding research. The very first grant of $5,000 was given to Dr. Ingalls of Harvard Medical School who was instrumental in discovering that the cause of "baby blindness" was too much oxygen being used in incubators for premature babies. Today, over 125,000 adults can see because of the foresight and concern of these Lions.
The Lions of Massachusetts have awarded grants totaling over $20,000,000. We are continuing to find needs for our help all over the world. Today, the leading injury for all servicemen and women serving in the Middle East is eye injury. The lions are sponsoring many laboratories that are working on new treatment methods. One exciting branch being investigated is a "living tissue" bandage that may be used shortly to recover eyesight lost to traumatic injury.
We cannot do this alone. We, The Lions of Massachusetts and the world, are asking you for help. How can you help? Support your local Lions Club as they continue on their "journey for sight". Ask a Lion how you can help, it is not only painless, but it also gives you a great feeling of belonging and community.

BSG: Blood & Chrome will come home
Ex Contributor
Universal Studios Home Entertainment to release unrated cut of the Battlestar Galactica prequel serial.
Blood & Chrome is the prequel the fans have been waiting for. With high production values, great writing, and top performances from a new cast of young genre stars, the web series isn't disappointing those who have been waiting years for the long-anticipated story.
The series that we're currently getting over on Machinima, and which we'll get in full as a feature presentation on Syfy next spring, isn't the whole story. For television ratings purposes, some scenes have been cut or altered from the original intent. The only way to get the version of the show with these scenes included will be in the Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome Unrated Edition Blu-ray combo pack.
The pack includes a blu-ray and DVD of the unrated cut of the story – presented in film form, the way Syfy will show it – as well as a key for download of the film on iOS, Android, or Windows.
The Blu-ray will also contain a collection of deleted scenes (thirteen of them) and a special featurette which goes into the production of Blood & Chrome, with special attention to the numerous digital effects, and how they were accomplished on a cable TV budget.
The long-promised BSG prequel continues the adventures of the young Will Adama that we were introduced to in Razor Flashback (not the one from Caprica). Where Razor was a dense, dark, low-budget web series, Blood & Chrome looks like it has production values which exceed the original series, really outlining the idea that the humans' technology was more sophisticated before the Cylon attack at the beginning of the series.
The synopsis is thus:
This highly anticipated chapter in the Battlestar Galactica saga takes place in the midst of the first Cylon war. As the battle between humans and their creation, the sentient robotic Cylons, rages across the 12 colonial worlds, gifted fighter pilot, William Adama (Luke Pasqualino, The Borgias), finds himself assigned to one of the most powerful battlestars in the Colonial fleet: the Galactica. Full of ambition and hungry for action, Adama quickly finds himself at odds with his co-pilot, the battle-weary officer Coker (Ben Cotton, Alcatraz). With only 47 days left in his tour of duty, Coker desires an end to battle as much as Adama craves its onset.
And we have a special trailer for the Unrated Edition:
Blood & Chrome – the regular edition – premiered on Machinima November 9, 2012, where it will continue into next year. It will then be shown in its entirety on Syfy as an 'original feature film' in the spring. The Unrated Edition Blu-ray combo pack will hit shelves on February 19, 2013.
