text:
Stará perština (, klínopisně ) je zaniklý západoíránský jazyk, kterým se mluvilo i psalo v jižní oblasti dnešního Íránu, dnes nazývané Fárs. Tato oblast byla původně součástí říše Elam. V 6. století př. n. l. se s nástupem Achaimenovců k moci stal tento jazyk vedle elamštiny, aramejštiny a babylonštiny jedním z úředních jazyků nové říše a postupně se rozšířil do ostatních částí starého Íránu.

Písmo

Úředníci achaimenovské říši používali jako úřední jazyk hlavně aramejštinu, pro jejíž zápis používali klínové písmo. Tímto písmem se psaly různé úřední dokumenty, které se zapisovaly na hliněné destičky, papyrus nebo se zaznamenávaly na kamenné části staveb, jako je tomu třeba v případě zikkuratů.

V 6. století př. n. l. nařídil král Dareios I. vytvořit speciální klínové písmo pro své památníky. Toto písmo mělo být srovnatelné s písmem, které používali králové Babylónu a Asýrie. Staroperské nápisy dnes můžeme najít nejen na skalních reliéfech, ale i na kamenných částech achaimenovských staveb v Persepoli, Pasargadách, na alabastrových vázách, zlatých a stříbrných tabulkách. Nejdelším ze všech nalezených textů napsaných staroperským klínovým písmem je nápis krále Dareia I. na skále v Bísotúnu v západním Íránu. Díky tomuto nápisu, který byl opatřen elamským a babylonským překladem se podařilo klínové písmo rozluštit. Stará perština psaná tímto písmem se po skončení vlády Artaxerxa III. přestala užívat a dvůr se opět vrátil k používání aramejštiny.

Písmo je tvořeno 36 znaky, které zapisujeme zleva doprava vodorovně. Mimo hlásek a, i, u se jedná o slabiky, které se skládají ze souhlásky a samohlásky. Každé slovo je odděleno šikmým klínem (). Kromě toho existuje v této variantě klínového písma 5 zvláštních znaků neboli ideogramů. Tyto ideogramy nahrazovaly nejčastější víceslabičná slova a byly používány pro výrazy :
 král ( – chšájathija)
 bůh ( – baga)
 Ahura Mazda ()
 území ( – dahajauša)
 země ( – búmiš)
Tyto ideogramy mohou mít různou formu. Jejich používání však není povinné. Slovo král (chšájathija) je možno napsat dvěma způsoby:
 buď jedním ideogramem ,
 nebo 7 slabičnými znaky  (cha-ša-a-ja-tha-i-ja).
Mimo to existuje několik znaků vyjadřující číselné symboly.

Luštění

První pokusy vyluštit achaimenovské klínové písmo pocházejí z 18. století, kdy různí cestovatelé navštěvovali achaimenovské památky a opisovali jejich texty. Tyto texty byly napsány třemi jazyky, které byly úředními jazyky tehdejší říše. Jednalo se o elamštinu, perštinu a babylónštinu. Ani jeden z těchto jazyků nebyl tehdy známý. V té době však již byla přeložena Avesta, která poskytla tolik potřebný klíč k dešifrování textů. První úspěch zaznamenal německý badatel G. F. Grotefend, kterému se podařilo určit směr čtení textů, určil funkci šikmého klínu () jako dělicího znaménka a na základě znalostí avestských textů určil čtení a význam některých slov. Další posun zaznamenal Angličan Henry Rawlinson, který se zaměřil na opisování textů v Bísotúnu. Za pomoci řeckých pramenů určil čtení jmen některých význačných osob pohybujících se v blízkosti krále. Nakonec se podařilo rozluštit celý text a stará perština se stala prvním jazykem, který byl úspěšně dešifrován.

Gramatika
Gramatika staré perštiny byla na rozdíl od střední a moderní perštiny složitější. Stará perština měla 3 rody mužský, ženský a střední. Jednotné, dvojné a množné číslo a sedm pádů: nominativ, vokativ, akuzativ, ablativ, dativ, genitiv a lokativ.
Slovosled je poměrně pevný a řadí starou perštinu mezi SOV jazyky (subject-object-verb) což znamená, že na prvním místě je podmět následuje předmět a nakonec sloveso.

 Adam chšájathija amij

V některých případech se v přítomném čase sloveso být vynechává.

Nov 19 "UN: Creating a Better World?"
On September 25, 2015, 193 world leaders convened at the UN Headquarters in New York and committed to achieve 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that focused on 3 extraordinary and comprehensive initiatives over the next 15 years: end extreme poverty, fight inequality and injustice, and tackle climate change.
--developing a global partnership for development.
The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) have been developed with strong U.S. leadership through an intensive consultative process. Consultations were held in 50 cities across the nation that included elected officials, and business leaders, as well as faith based, and civil society leaders. More than 73,000 Americans engaged online with the UN and depicted the world they envisioned in 2030.
The goals indicate longstanding bipartisan foreign policy and development priorities that Republican and Democratic Administrations and Congress have championed, including gender equality, hunger and poverty alleviation, transparency and governance, access to safe drinking water, and improved education.
Although these 17 global goals are built on the successful foundation of the 8 Millennium Development Goals, they represent a greater comprehension of the linkages between poverty, governance, health, gender, climate, and education. These problems do not exist in isolated silos but are intertwined.
The 17 SDGs also involve more key players in the process and go beyond just foreign aid, by stressing the importance of trade and investment from the private sector to accelerate their critical contributions in development, health, and economic and social opportunity. To be successful, a combination of embracing the rule of law, reducing corruption, and strengthening transparency and accountability will be critical.
Polls show that the issues covered by the new goals are highly popular with American voters: hunger, water, poverty, and health are all top issues that Americans want to work on overseas and here at home.
The new set of goals--along with being quantifiable and measurable--promote equity and fairness, will produce meaningful results, and serve the U.S. national interest.
The SDGs provide a roadmap for achieving success but they are not part of a legally binding treaty. The UN is not a one-world government or supranational organization that imposes its will. It convenes the policymakers, experts and general public so they can develop a consensus, workable blueprint for economic and social development. Americans do not need to support every goal to help create a better world by 2030.
With 17 goals and 169 targets, there are ample issues of interest for any group or individual to help achieve. Not everyone will enthusiastically support all of the goals or believe that they are important; however, people should discuss them critically and identify the ones they feel can propel the world in a positive direction. Regardless of whether one is a Christian, Muslim, Jew, or has a civic club association with Rotary, Kiwanis or Lions, or is a public administrator at the local, regional, national or international level, or has any other affiliation or no affiliation, there are areas of interest in some or all of the 17 Global Goals within which to be involved. After all, what is more important than to help create a better world?

The Mini Museum: A Desktop Museum with Dinosaur Fragments, Apollo 11 Spacecraft, the Moon, and More
For the past 35 years designer Hans Fex has been collecting some of the Earth's most rare historical specimens including a fossil of a palm tree from Antarctica, wrap from a mummy, coal from the Titanic, dinosaur bones, and even a piece of the Apollo 11 command module. Working with specialists recommended by museum curators, research scientists and university historians, he has now amassed some 33 special objects that he's broken down into tiny fragments and inserted into translucent resin case he calls the Mini Museum. Because the collected specimens are absurdly unique, the project is currently going crazy over on Kickstarter where you can see detailed information and photos of every single object appearing in the museum.
Some additional specimens include the foundation of Abraham Lincoln's House, the Berlin Wall, the London Bridge, mammoth hair, 60 million year old insect amber, and part of a t-rex tooth.

When someone you care about suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), it can leave you feeling overwhelmed. The changes in your loved one can be worrying or even frightening. You may feel angry about what's happening to your family and relationship, or hurt by your loved one's distance and moodiness. It's important to know that you're not helpless. Your support can make all the difference in your partner, friend, or family member's recovery. With your help, your loved one can overcome PTSD and move on with his or her life.
How does PTSD affect relationships?
PTSD can take a heavy toll on relationships. It can be hard to understand your loved one's behavior—why they are less affectionate and more volatile. You may feel like you're walking on eggshells or living with a stranger. You may have to take on a bigger share of household tasks, deal with the frustration of a loved one who won't open up, or even deal with anger or disturbing behavior. The symptoms of PTSD can also lead to job loss, substance abuse, and other problems that affect the whole family.
It's hard not to take the symptoms of PTSD personally, but it's important to remember that a person with PTSD may not always have control over their behaviour. Your loved one's nervous system is 'stuck' in a state of constant alert, making them continually feel vulnerable and unsafe. This can lead to anger, irritability, depression, mistrust, and other PTSD symptoms that your loved one can't simply choose to turn off. With the right support from friends and family, though, your loved one's nervous system can become 'unstuck' and he or she can finally move on from the traumatic event.
Do normal things with your loved one, things that have nothing to do with PTSD or the traumatic experience. Encourage your loved one to participate in rhythmic exercise, seek out friends, and pursue hobbies that bring pleasure. Take a fitness class together, go dancing, or set a regular lunch date with friends and family.
Manage your own stress. The more calm, relaxed, and focused you are, the better you'll be able to help your loved one.
While you shouldn't push a person with PTSD to talk, if they do choose to share, try to listen without expectations or judgments. Make it clear that you're interested and that you care, but don't worry about giving advice. It's the act of listening attentively that is helpful to your loved one, not what you say. A person with PTSD may need to talk about the traumatic event over and over again. This is part of the healing process, so avoid the temptation to tell your loved one to stop rehashing the past and move on.
Some of the things your loved one tells you might be very hard to listen to, but it's important to respect their feelings and reactions. If you come across as disapproving or judgmental, they are unlikely to open up to you again.
Trauma alters the way a person sees the world, making it seem like a perpetually dangerous and frightening place. It also damages people's ability to trust others and themselves. Anything you can do to rebuild your loved one's sense of security will contribute to recovery.
Express your commitment to the relationship. Let the person know you're here for the long haul so he or she feels loved and supported.
Create routines. Structure and predictable schedules can restore a sense of stability and security to people with PTSD, both adults and children. Creating routines could mean getting your loved one to help with groceries or housework, for example, maintaining regular times for meals, or simply 'being there' for the person.
Minimise stress at home. Try to make sure your loved one has space and time for rest and relaxation.
Keep your promises. Help rebuild trust by being trustworthy. Be consistent and follow through on the things you say you're going to do.
Emphasise your loved one's strengths. Tell your loved one you believe he or she is capable of recovery and point out all your loved one's positive qualities and successes.
Encourage your loved one to join a support group. Getting involved with others who have gone through similar traumatic experiences can help some people with PTSD feel less damaged and alone.
A trigger can be anything—a person, place, thing, or situation—that reminds your loved one of the trauma and sets off a PTSD symptom, such as a flashback.
Sometimes, triggers are obvious. For example, a military veteran might be triggered by seeing his combat buddies or by the loud noises that sound like gunfire. Others may take some time to identify and understand, such as hearing a song that was playing when the traumatic event happened, for example; so now that particular song, or even others in the same musical genre are triggers. Similarly, triggers don't have to be external. Internal feelings and sensations can also trigger PTSD symptoms.
Mindfulness can not only be a great tool for those suffering with depression but also for dealing with a loved one with depression.
Ask your loved one about things he or she did in the past in response to a trigger that seemed to help. Then you can come up with a joint game-plan for how you will respond in future.
Ask what your loved one would like you to do during a nightmare, flashback, or panic attack. Having a plan in place will make the situation less scary for both of you. You'll also be in a much better position to help your loved one calm down.
PTSD can lead to difficulties managing emotions and impulses. In your loved one, this may manifest as extreme irritability, moodiness, or explosions of rage.
People suffering from PTSD live in a constant state of physical and emotional stress. Since they usually have trouble sleeping, it means they're constantly exhausted, on edge, and physically strung out—increasing the likelihood that they'll overreact to day-to-day stressors.
For many people with PTSD, anger can also be a cover for other feelings such as grief, helplessness, or guilt. Anger makes them feel powerful, instead of weak and vulnerable. For others, they try to suppress their anger until it erupts when you least expect it.
Watch for signs that your loved one is angry such as clenching jaw or fists, talking louder, or getting agitated. Take steps to defuse the situation as soon as you see the initial warning signs.
Try to remain calm. During an emotional outburst, do your best to stay calm. This will communicate to your loved one that you are 'safe' and prevent the situation from escalating.
Give the person space. Avoid crowding or grabbing the person. This can make a traumatised person feel threatened.
Ask how you can help. For example: "What can I do to help you right now?" You can also suggest a time-out or change of scenery.
Put safety first. If the person gets more upset despite your attempts to calm him or her down, leave the house or lock yourself in a room. Call 000 if you fear that your loved one may hurt themselves or others.
Anger is a normal, healthy emotion, but when chronic, explosive anger spirals out of control, it can have serious consequences on a person's relationships, health, and state of mind. Your loved one can get anger under control by exploring the root issues and learning healthier ways to express their feelings.
Letting your family member's PTSD dominate your life while ignoring your own needs is a surefire recipe for burnout. In order to have the strength to be there for your loved one over the long haul, you have to nurture and care for yourself.
Take care of your physical needs: get enough sleep, exercise regularly, eat properly, and look after any medical issues.
Cultivate your own support system. Lean on other family members, trusted friends, your own therapist or support group, or your faith community. Talking about your feelings and what you're going through can be very cathartic.
Make time for your own life. Don't give up friends, hobbies, or activities that make you happy. It's important to have things in your life that you look forward to.
Spread the responsibility. Ask other family members and friends for assistance so you can take a break. You may also want to seek out respite services in your community.
Set boundaries. Be realistic about what you're capable of giving. Know your limits, communicate them to your family member and others involved, and stick to them.
Caring for someone with PTSD can lead to the potential for secondary traumatisation. You can develop your own symptoms from listening to trauma stories or being exposed to disturbing symptoms like flashbacks. The more depleted and overwhelmed you feel, the greater the risk that you may become traumatised.

This directory contains plugins that prototype functionality that will likely
either become part of Flutter itself, or become officially supported plugins.

## Using Plugins

Since the plugins in this repository are not intended to live here long term,
these plugins are not published on pub.dev like normal Flutter plugins. Instead,
you should include them directly from this repository:

```
dependencies:
  ...
  menubar:
    git:
      url: https://github.com/google/flutter-desktop-embedding.git
      path: plugins/menubar
      ref: INSERT_HASH_HERE
```

Replace `INSERT_HASH_HERE` with the hash of commit you want to pin to,
usually the latest commit to the repository at the time you add the plugin.
While omitting the `ref` is possible, it is **strongly** discouraged, as
without it any breaking change to the plugin would break your project
without warning.

Artificial intelligence, big-data analytics, and machine learning are showing up everywhere in aviation, except in the cockpit and briefing rooms where pilots need it most. Instead, to gather critical information about a flight, pilots rely on tools and technology that are better suited for teletype machines or dot-matrix printers. Today, most flight crews rely on a "wall of text" for weather briefings, Notams, and other information. This hasn't changed in decades.
The origin of the Notam dates back to 1947. This notice alerts pilots to potential hazards such as runway closures, navaid outages, or other items that affect flight safety.
The legacy of a Notam is that it is a text-based system that uses a string of confusing codes made up of alphanumeric characters that defy most common human factors conventions for presentation and readability. To make matters worse, on a longer cross-country flight, pilots may have to sort through more than 100 messages to determine whether the Notam is timely, applicable, or even pertinent.
Ironically, this system of Notams is a hazard in itself. In July 2017, this issue was highlighted by an Air Canada flight crew's lack of awareness that a runway was closed in San Francisco (KSFO). In this event, the crew attempted to land on a parallel taxiway, narrowly avoiding a collision with four other airliners. According to the NTSB, this incident had the potential to become a catastrophe but instead the aircraft descended to 60 feet above ground level (14 feet above an A340, below) before initiating a go-around.
July 2017 incident at SFO prompts NTSB to call for a "more effective presentation of flight operations information to optimize pilot review and retention."
One area where human-factors expertise is needed is in the typography, presentation, and display of the information contained in the Notam. One of the most important elements to be considered to improve readability is the font and style used in the text. Studies suggest that the most effective font is sans serif and the use of an up-and-down style is preferred to the block style. Up and down is easier to read than block. The ascenders (b, d, etc.) and descenders (p, q, y, etc.) help characterize each word in the up-and-down style, whereas the block style appears as a box.
Ending on a positive note, in the near term, developments in technology, such as the electronic flight bag (EFB) and the associated flight-planning applications hold the most promise to break down the wall of text. There are a number of fantastic apps that help pilots decipher and better organize Notams.
As an example, Foreflight has a Flight Notification and Notam Advisor feature that will translate these notices from raw text and "pin" Notams to specific procedures and airport diagrams. Jeppessen's FD Pro app will color code taxiways and runways that are out of service. Until the FAA and other aviation authorities fix the Notam system, operators and their crews should leverage the use of an EFB to improve safety.

By Danny Rose III, Studio-in-Place artist
Danny Joe Rose III will craft otherworldly landscapes from photographs submitted by the public for his July Studio-in-Place project.
The landscape has long been an inspiration for me and countless other artists. From the rolling hills of Richard Mayhew to the imagined worlds of Etel Adnan, there is a rich tradition of artists whose work expresses longing to connect with nature. For my Studio-in-Place project, I'll be working with photos submitted by the public to craft invented worlds. The goal is to find things in life that bring us joy during these difficult times. As you get ready to follow along throughout the month of July, here are five artists whose work is inspiring me right now.
Untitled No. 6 from the Yosemite Suite (2010) by David Hockney
David Hockney's landscapes are like a dream: a wild and colorful dream. I'm especially drawn to his digital work. Around 2009, he began experimenting with using his iPhone and iPad to make art. He continues to experiment with varying technologies in his practice today.
Katherine Bradford
Space Ship Over Bikinis (2017)
I'm a new fan of Katherine Bradford's and can't get enough of her lush paintings. Her worlds of swimmers and superheroes have a lulling effect on the mind. You can't look at a Bradford without leaving your body, even if only momentarily.
Richard Mayhew
Interlude Series (2002) by Richard Mayhew
Best known for his colorful and evolving landscapes, Richard Mayhew is a force of nature. His abstract paintings document his travels through the U.S. countryside and explore themes of African American identity and jazz music.
Matthew Wong
Winter Nocturne (2017) by Matthew Wong
Matthew Wong's mystical depictions of forests and snow-covered fields offer us a moment to slow down and really look. His paintings reveal themselves slowly, telling more stories as they come into focus.
Untitled (2010) by Etel Adnan
Etel Adnan is the queen of imaginary landscapes. Her pictures are imbued with memory and feeling. Etel is also a novelist and poet, speaking out against injustices in the world. Getting lost in her pictures is a welcomed experience.
Danny Joe Rose III is an artist and educator living in Oklahoma City, best known for his shapeshifting paintings and minimalist collages. His work is inspired by colors and forms found in nature, specifically landscapes and memories from his travels.
He holds a BFA from the Art Institute of Dallas, and his work has been included in both national and international group exhibitions. Danny has had solo exhibitions at Jen Mauldin Gallery, Artspace at Untitled, The Charles W Eisemann Center for Performing Arts, Galleri Urbane and others. Danny has been a visiting educator at Oklahoma City University, Chandra Kumala International School and Art Class Dallas, and he will soon join the Oklahoma Contemporary as a Studio School instructor. He has been an Artist-In-Residence at Artspace at Untitled, the Guapamacátaro Center for Art and Ecology, the Moon Mansion Dallas, the Paseo Plunge and Oklahoma City University. Danny is represented by Objets Trouvé gallery in Oklahoma City.

Tillerson's departure and the future of US policy in the Middle East
Gerald M. Feierstein, Alex Vatanka, Charles Lister
Rex Tillerson's unhappy tenure at State Department ends with a whimper – Gerald Feierstein
Rex Tillerson was never an easy fit for the Trump administration. His management of the State Department was a source of constant frustration for the career staff as well as Capitol Hill. On policy issues, Tillerson hewed more closely than Trump to establishment Republican positions. Allied with Secretary of Defense Mattis and National Security Advisor McMaster, Tillerson often acted as an anchor against the president's more aggressive impulses.
In the Middle East, Trump and Tillerson were most famously at loggerheads over the U.S. response to the intra-GCC conflict between Qatar and the "Quartet"—Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Egypt and Bahrain. Tillerson and Mattis successfully steered U.S. policy toward a negotiated settlement of the conflict and deterred Trump from pursuing his initial support for the Quartet's demands. The conflict has become more problematic for the Trump administration since allegations surfaced that the UAE sought to influence U.S. policy through appeals to the Trump family's private business interests. While there have been no suggestions yet that the GCC issue was a major factor precipitating Trump's decision, the timing one week before the visit of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman is suspicious.
Tillerson suffered embarrassment over other aspects of Trump's management of foreign policy. The State Department was largely cut out of Jared Kushner's Israeli-Palestinian peace project and appeared to be advocating more of a "go slow" approach to the transfer of the U.S. embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. Tillerson was also known to chafe at U.S. ambassador to the U.N. Nikki Haley's role as a key policy spokesperson, including her threats to cut Palestinian and UNRWA funding, which caught Tillerson by surprise.
Pompeo's ascent, rather than Tillerson's departure, of most interest to Iran – Alex Vatanka
The departure of Rex Tillerson is unlikely to generate much commotion in Tehran. As far as the Iranians are concerned, he was a minor factor in shaping Washington's overall posture toward Tehran on the two most important questions in the U.S.-Iran tussle.
Sure, against Trump's wishes he supported the U.S. staying in the 2015 nuclear agreement. Tehran, however, always viewed that as the collective judgment of the State Department and not a case of Tillerson sticking his neck out. On the regional front, particularly in regard to Syria, Tehran again saw Tillerson play a lesser role as compared to Secretary of Defense James Mattis.
Meanwhile, Mike Pompeo's move to State is arguably a win for Tehran. As a longtime die-hard opponent of the Islamic Republic, who has for years advocated for a policy of regime change in Tehran, the Iranian government had good reasons to wonder what sorts of covert campaigns Pompeo could devise at Langley. He was seen as someone willing to help set the stage for a military conflict between the U.S. and Iran.
Notably, Pompeo's decision to release captured al-Qaeda documents from the raid on Osama bin Laden's compound in Abbottabad in order to show an alleged working relationship between the al-Qaeda and Iran raised alarm inside the regime. The Iranians called it a deliberate manipulation of intelligence, while Pompeo's supporters in Washington applauded him for taking the fight to Tehran.
In his new role in Foggy Bottom, Pompeo will have much less room for maneuvering on Iran. While he will be far more in sync with the hawkish position of U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, Pompeo will still have to grapple with the basic challenge of convincing the Russians, Chinese and Europeans to confront Iran. This will not be an easy task given international reservations about the Trump administration's haphazard agenda.
Pompeo's appointment could mean a more hawkish U.S. stance on Syria – Charles Lister
Mike Pompeo's appointment as Secretary of State is likely to embolden those within the Trump administration who seek to further amplify a more assertive posture within the Syrian crisis. Pompeo has made no secret of his hostility to Iran and its broader regional, expansionist agenda in the Middle East; his concerns surrounding Russia's aggressive attempts to undermine U.S. supremacy and influence; and his support for Israel's security. He has also repeatedly declared the importance of fostering a "Sunni partner force" in Syria to counter terrorism and to challenge the Assad regime and Iran.
These views align more closely with those espoused within the Trump White House and National Security Council (NSC). They also sharply conflict with the more restrained opinions held within the State Department and Department of Defense, which favor a more limited presence and set of objectives. That administrative policy divergence is also being revealed with regard to a newly vigorous determination within the Trump NSC to reconcile with Turkey—potentially at the short-term cost of the U.S.'s relationship with its Syrian Democratic Forces partners—in order to expand U.S. strategic interests, influence and leverage across the entire northern Syrian border. That too is driven by a broader desire to block further gains by Assad, Iran and Russia.
If Pompeo's appointment is followed by the widely rumored departure of General H.R. McMaster, then one should expect this more hawkish stance to become established policy. The long-term fate of Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis, who has recently torpedoed Trump proposals for more aggressive action in Syria, may then also come into question.

The Audi A8 4.2 is a great motor, and this example has over 220,000 miles on it. It needs some attention and TLC for sure.
So first up was a full set of front brakes and huge rotors. They had to dust off the boxes at the parts store when I picked them up, I guess there aren't much of a call for these parts!
The gear selector switch had gone bad, which was putting the box into limp mode, so a I fit a new switch (I've just simplified something that took me about 4 hours due to stripped bolts and involved melting the old switch with the welder).
The water pump was leaking, and Audi has always liked to put they're pumps behind virtually everything in the motor so you have to disassemble the engine to get to the pump. Water had also destroyed the damper spring/shock. I was a little surprised to find the timing belt to be so loose it was flopping around. Lucky it hadn't jumped.
All back together now (so I had some rum obviously), but I'm still fighting some kind of driveshaft problem in the front, but what a car!

En la Resolució 1625 del Consell de Seguretat de les Nacions Unides, adoptada per unanimitat després de la Cimera Mundial el 14 de setembre de 2005, el Consell va adoptar una declaració sobre el paper del Consell de Seguretat en la prevenció de conflictes, especialment a l'Àfrica, on es produïen una gran quantitat de conflictes armats.

La resolució 1625, juntament amb la Resolució 1624 (2005), va ser adoptada en una reunió de caps d'estat o de govern.

Declaració

Observacions
El Consell de Seguretat va expressar "una profunda preocupació" pel cost humà i les pèrdues materials provocades pels conflictes armats. Va reafirmar la importància d'abstenir-se de l'amenaça o l'ús de la força en les relacions internacionals, la necessitat d'adoptar una estratègia de prevenció de conflictes per abordar les causes fonamentals dels conflictes i les crisis, enfortir el paper de les Nacions Unides en la prevenció conflictes violents i construir associacions entre organitzacions internacionals i regionals.

El preàmbul de la declaració va fer referència a la Unió Africana en particular, i la seva posició sobre els canvis inconstitucionals del govern en el continent. També va reconèixer el paper de la societat civil en la prevenció de conflictes.

Actes
La resolució expressa la determinació del Consell de millorar l'eficàcia de les Nacions Unides en la prevenció dels conflictes armats, mitjançant:

(a) avaluar els esdeveniments en regions en risc de conflicte armat i demanar al Secretari General de les Nacions Unides que proporcioni informació;
(b) seguiment de les iniciatives preventives-diplomàtiques del Secretari General;
(c) donar suport a iniciatives regionals de mediació;
(d) donar suport a les capacitats d'alerta primerenca;
(e) demanar assistència del Consell Econòmic i Social de les Nacions Unides;
(f) prendre mesures per afrontar el tràfic il·legal d'armes l'ús de mercenaris;
(g) millorar les institucions que afavoreixin la pau, l'estabilitat i el desenvolupament sostenible;
(h) donar suport als estats africans per construir institucions judicials independents.

Mentrestant, es va exigir al Secretari General que proporcionés informació sobre possibles conflictes armats al Consell, especialment d'Àfrica, ajudés als països en risc de conflictes i promogués iniciatives regionals de gestió de conflictes.

El Consell va destacar la importància de les estratègies de prevenció de conflictes per evitar un impacte negatiu en els sectors de seguretat, econòmics, socials, polítics i humanitaris en els països que s'enfrontaven. També es va destacar un enfocament regional, especialment pel que fa a desmobilització, desmilitarització i reintegració social, i es prendria una acció contra l'explotació il·legal de recursos naturals que alimentava el conflicte. Es va demanar també una major cooperació entre les Nacions Unides i les organitzacions regionals o subregionals, d'acord amb Capítol VIII de la Carta de les Nacions Unides.

La segona meitat de la resolució es va dirigir a les nacions africanes. El Consell va encoratjar els estats africans al Pacte de No Agressió i de Defensa Comuna de la Unió Africana el 31 de gener de 2005 i treballar amb el Secretariat de les Nacions Unides i les oficines regionals per implementar mesures per establir la pau, la seguretat, l'estabilitat, la democràcia i el desenvolupament sostenible. Mentrestant, va demanar a la comunitat internacional que donés suport a les nacions africanes en els objectius esmentats i desenvolupés les capacitats de les organitzacions regionals i subregionals africanes per desplegar actius civils i militars quan calgués.

John McCormick writes: I was in with a chance of a mug for new baby James for almost an hour on Tuesday, then Oviedo got that red card and everything changed.
And, I suppose, I'd better withdraw myself from this week's competition as it seems a bit unfair for me to get my guess prediction in before anyone else has a chance. I'd be going for 0-2 (Sinclair and Power) so that scoreline's open to another reader.
There's no need for you to feel guilty about taking it and depriving my grandchild; I'm sure James won't mind waiting. After all, I've been saying 2-0 since we were a Premiership club and it still hasn't happened. Another two weeks won't matter.
You must have a UK address to which the mug can be sent.
You can predict a Bradford City win and you will have the option to receive a suitably decorated mug if you happen to get it right.
You get to choose the names on the shirts, and a Bradford supporting winner would get a design more to his his/her taste.
Back to our winning ways, but still no clean sheet.
Sendings off are becoming an issue.
Bradford 1 – 4 Sunderland, back to winning ways!
Fower nowt and if correct then prize to be sent to Jimmy Mac.
They've lost 7 in 11 scoring 8 goals. This will be our first clean sheet in a 3-0 away win.
The Lads to win 3-2 and closer to the top.
I'd agree with the sentiments above; winning but no clean sheet. 5-2 to us.
Surprised and disappointed that no-one has gone for 6-0 yet but that leaves it for me.
Maguire, Power, Sinclair, Baldwin, Sinclair, Matthews.to score.
As my guess was exactly double the actual score do I qualify for two mugs?
The actual score was half your prediction so surely you get half a mug.

Q: Distinguish between 'character' and 'numeric' data types in Python I'm wondering if there is an easy way to distinguish character and numeric data types in Python (e.g. int/double/float etc.). Ideally, I'd like to be able to distinguish scalars as well as lists.
In short, I'd like to be able to write a function easy_type that will do the following:
>>> easy_type(["hello", "world"])
   "character"
>>> easy_type("hello")
   "character"
>>> easy_type(['1.0', '0.0'])
   "numeric"
>>> easy_type([0, 1, 2])
   "numeric"
>>> easy_type(0.100)
   "numeric"

A: Since you have multiple types of data, you might want to get the type of individual items with a recursive function, like this
def get_type(data):
    if isinstance(data, list):
        types = {get_type(item) for item in data}
        # If all elements of the list are of the same type
        if len(types) == 1:
            return next(iter(types))
        # if not, return "multiple"
        else:
            return "multiple"
    elif isinstance(data, str):
        # Check if the string has only numbers or it is a float number
        return "numeric" if data.isdigit() or is_float(data) else "character"
    elif isinstance(data, int) or isinstance(data, float):
        return "numeric"

And the helper function is_float is defined like this
def is_float(data):
    try:
        float(data)
        return True
    except ValueError:
        return False

And the tests,
assert(get_type(["hello", "world"]) == "character")
assert(get_type("hello") == "character")
assert(get_type(['1.0', '0.0']) == "numeric")
assert(get_type([0, 1, 2]) == "numeric")
assert(get_type(0.100) == "numeric")

A: To handle "character" and "numeric" for scalars:
def easy_type(ob):
    try:
        float(ob)
        return "numeric"
    except ValueError:
        return "character"

To handle lists similarly, assuming all elements of a list are of the same type, and lists aren't nested and aren't empty:
def easy_type(ob):
    if isinstance(ob, list):
        return mytype(ob[0])
    try:
        float(ob)
        return "numeric"
    except ValueError:
        return "character"

To also handle "multiple":
def easy_type(ob):
    if isinstance(ob, list):
        types = set((mytype(o) for o in ob))
        if len(types) > 1:
            return "multiple"
        else:
            return types.pop()
    try:
        float(ob)
        return "numeric"
    except ValueError:
        return "character"

A: You can probably get most of what you want using the built-in type() function:
>>> type("hello").__name__
'str'
>>> type(1).__name__
'int'
>>> type(1.5).__name__
'float'
>>> type(["hello", "world"]).__name__
'list'

You will need to decide how you would like to handle lists, particularly since lists can contain elements of different types.

A: First of all, you have to have a clear understanding of what datatypes you're dealing with.
a = ["hello","world"] -> list of str
b = "hello" -> str
c = ['1.0','0.0'] -> list of str
d = [0,1,2] -> list of int
e = 0.100

'type()' will tell you the type of a variable. string_name.isdigit() will tell you if a string contains something that can be interpreted as numeric. isinstance(var, type) will tell you if some input is of a particular type.
You have to clearly define what sort of input you're dealing with (for example, are lists allowed to contain data of different types? Are you allowing more complex data types, such as dicts?). At that point, you can use the functions above to write your easy_type() function.

Cork City Football Club sign Eoghan O'Connell on loan from Celtic until July
By TheCork.ie on 16th February, 2016 No Comment
By Bryan Smyth
bryan@TheCork.ie
The 20-year-old defender has made five league appearances for Celtic, and he told CorkCityFC.ie that he was looking forward to playing for his hometown club: "I'm delighted to be back in Cork and I'm really looking forward to getting started and playing."
"My dad Damien and my brother Andy have both played for the club previously; Andy was here recently enough so I have been asking him about it and I would not be short on knowledge about the club!"
"It's about getting as many games as I can but the main objective is to help Cork City do as well as possible while I am here and try to win as many games as possible."
City boss John Caulfield said: "We are thrilled to get Eoghan. He can play right across the back four and as a defensive midfielder, so it gives us a lot of options. We were looking to bring in another defensive player and it is something we have been working very hard on for the last few while."
"Celtic have agreed to loan him to us until July; he has been involved with their first team quite a bit and he went out on loan to Oldham but he picked up an injury and they were anxious to get him out on loan to play."

The EXTENDER allows the BODY of the brace to be moved closer to the brace SHOULDER (for petite people) or further apart (for robust people). Simply remove the screw (factory set in the middle of the ADJUSTER), slide the brace BODY in the EXTENDER to the proper hole and reinsert and tighten the screw (snug).
Once adjusted, forget it! There are no other adjustments.
Any camcorder can be connected to The AMAZING BRACE™ via the ¼ -20 screw hole on the bottom of the camcorder (this is standard for most camcorders). Simply screw the ¼-20 WING KNOB to the tri-pod hole at the base of your camcorder.

The Manfrotto 3299, for example, cannot be used because of its irregular base.

loosen the HANDLE and slide the BLADE upward as far as it will go.
While walking forward the body has a tendency to "bounce" up and down a few inches. To minimize the effect while shooting hold on to the blade, with it out of the pouch, in your left hand and hold the camcorder in your right. It is easier to keep the brace and camcorder even using both hands while walking forward.
so video shooting requires no special effort.
Just make sure someone is watching where you are going!
any slight movement of the body is not noticeable in the video.
However, when there is little action and mostly talking, like during a wedding toast, the slight body motion may be perceptible. To mitigate the effect find a chair, table, ceiling column anything stable and hold on to it with your left hand. The slight body motion will be minimized.
Sometimes the crowd just will not let you in to shoot the action. To get an overhead shot hold the bottom of the BLADE with your left hand and the end of the SHOULDER with your right hand. Lift the camcorder brace and camcorder up as high as you can over the crowd. Use the LCD screen (most hand held camcorders have them) tilted down to see your shot.

Wyoming Ranked 48th In The Nation For Women's Equality
Published on August 24, 2020 August 24, 2020 in News
In an ironic twist, the Equality State is considered one of the worst states in the country when it comes to women's equality.
According to a recent study by personal finance website WalletHub, women have been laid off at a greater rate than men and are being re-employed more slowly. The share of the workforce that is female is at its lowest point since 2008.
WalletHub compared the 50 states across 17 indicators of gender equality, ranging from the gap between female and male executives to the disparity in unemployment rates for women and men.
Wyoming ranked 48th in the nation, just beating out Idaho and Utah, respectively. The state had the largest income gap between men and women, but the smallest gap between men and women in executive positions.
There was a large gap between work hours between men and women, but men were considered the disadvantaged.
"The solution is to revisit the distinction between the private and public domains and rethink the line between individual and social responsibilities," Babson College professor Mary Godwin told WalletHub. "When health, education, and child care are considered public goods provided by and assessable to all citizens rather than private responsibilities, then women's access to the public realm is closer to that of their male counterparts."
In 2020, the United States failed to place in the top 10 or top 50 of the World Economic Forum's ranking of 153 countries based on gender equality. The U.S. dropped to 53, down from its previous rank of 51.

The Ravine: A Family, a Photograph, a Holocaust Massacre Revealed
by Wendy Lower
Harvard Book Store's virtual event series welcomes WENDY LOWER—the John K. Roth Professor in History at Claremont McKenna College and author of Hitler's Furies: German Women in the Nazi Killing Fields—for a discussion of her latest book, The Ravine: A Family, a Photograph, a Holocaust Massacre Revealed. She will be joined in conversation by JOSHUA RUBENSTEIN, associate, Harvard University's Davis Center for Russian and Eurasian Studies.
In 2009, the acclaimed author of Hitler's Furies was shown a photograph just brought to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. The documentation of the Holocaust is vast, but there are virtually no images of a Jewish family at the actual moment of murder, in this case by German officials and Ukrainian collaborators. A Ukrainian shooter's rifle is inches from a woman's head, obscured in a cloud of smoke. She is bending forward, holding the hand of a barefooted little boy. And—only one of the shocking revelations of Wendy Lower's brilliant ten-year investigation of this image—the shins of another child, slipping from the woman's lap.
Wendy Lower's forensic and archival detective work—in Ukraine, Germany, Slovakia, Israel, and the United States—recovers astonishing layers of detail concerning the open-air massacres in Ukraine. The identities of mother and children, of the killers—and, remarkably, of the Slovakian photographer who openly took the image, as a secret act of resistance—are dramatically uncovered. Finally, in the hands of this brilliant exceptional scholar, a single image unlocks a new understanding of the place of the family unit in the ideology of Nazi genocide.
Wendy Lower is currently the William Rosenberg Senior Scholar at Yale University, on sabbatical from Claremont McKenna College where she holds the John K Roth Chair in history and directs the Mgrublian Center for Human Rights. Lower is the author of Nazi Empire-Building and the Holocaust in Ukraine; The Diary of Samuel Golfard and the Holocaust in Galicia; and co- editor (with Ray Brandon) of Shoah in Ukraine: History, Testimony, Memorialization. Her book, Hitler's Furies: German Women in the Nazi Killing Fields was a finalist for the National Book Award and has been translated into 23 languages. Her book, The Ravine: A Family, A Photograph, A Holocaust Massacre Revealed, was published in February 2021
Joshua Rubenstein has been professionally involved with human rights and international affairs for over forty years as an activist and independent scholar with particular expertise in Russian affairs. He is the author of Soviet Dissidents: Their Struggle for Human Rights and Tangled Loyalties: The Life and Times of Ilya Ehrenburg, a biography of the controversial Soviet-Jewish writer and journalist.

This happened to my Dad some years back. The house my parents were living in was a two bedroom house. There was a small patch of grass in the front of the house and the veranda was just two steps from the front gate. When visitors arrived during the day, they always walked to the back of the house and knocked on the kitchen door. However when visitors arrived after dark, they would knock on the front door which was very close to the street.
One evening at around 20:00 my mother got into bed. My father joined her a few minutes later. They weren't in bed more than five minutes when to their complete surprise they heard a knock at the kitchen door. My father, although somewhat concerned, got out of bed and walked out of the room toward the kitchen at the back of the house.
Somehow my mother also had the feeling of 'foreboding' and called my father back to the bedroom. She said 'dont open the door, first ask who is there'. My father replied that was exactly his intention. Then he turned and left the room again. As soon as he walked into the passage he felt what seemed like hands on his elbows, lifting him entirely off his feet. He was carried down the passage, through the living room, toward the kitchen. He recalled that out of absolute fear he was shouting at the top of his voice, yet there was no sound coming from his mouth!
Once he was in the middle of the living room it felt as though he was being pushed from behind by whatever was carrying him into an invisible wall. Something (or someone) was stopping him from being carried any further. Suddenly he was let down ever-so-gently back onto his feet. He never made it to the kitchen door.
He turned and walked right back to the bedroom. My mother recalled that when he walked into the room the sweat was pouring down his face and there was no colour in his face. When he lay down the bed shook for quite some time before he could calm down and tell her what happened. They never found out who was their night visitor.
He Couldn't Run That Fast!

My husband spent most of his childhood/teen years in Uitenhage and he has SO many ghost stories to tell of the place. His brother also has tons of them. Personally I find Uitenhage incredibly creepy (particularly that area on a hill by the old reservoir - I think it is called Casper or Kaspar street). Those trees and houses really freak me out!
Thanks for your story. I'm pretty sure that there were at least 2 different entities there that night.
Hi Anno_Domini. Unfortunately my dad passed on. I would love to sit with him and hear the story (and other experiences he had) once again.
Hi Meldel, is your dad still around to recount the story in greater detail?
Hi there Cloudy. I often wonder about that night and what exactly did the 'negative' spirit want. Was there more than one 'negative' spirit? Who was the 'caring' spirit that stopped my dad from harm's way? I would certainly love to know. I have since posted another story that happened to my parents in this house. It will hopefully appear soon. It's also a very interesting story. Thanks for reading Cloudy. Cheers!
"I think there were two spirits. The 'negative' one was the knocker. Knowing that my dad would not open, he carried him in the hope that he could be forced to open the door."
If the negative spirit WAS 'at the door' knocking to gain entry HOW did it lift your Father 'inside' the house and attempt to carry him towards the door 'hoping' your Father would 'open' it so it could get in?
Things that make you go Hummmm.
Hi lady-glow. Yes, I think you are quite right. I too believe a protecting spirit was there to ensure that the 'evil spirit' at the door could do no harm. There were no break-ins at the time and the area was very safe back then. I do believe that the house was built on someone's grave. I will post that story shortly.
Hi AugustaM. I think there were two spirits. The 'negative' one was the knocker. Knowing that my dad would not open, he carried him in the hope that he could be forced to open the door. The 'protective' spirit knew what was about to happen and therefore stopped it (the wall).
Hi Fergie. This happened in Uitenhage. I will post a few more. Thanks for reading.
Meldel, I don't blame your dad for being scared senseless, I would be too.
This was an interesting narrative to say the least.
So do you get the feeling there were multiple spirits at work here? From the way I read it, it seems as though there was a spirit carrying your father to the door that wanted him to open it then another spirit (the 'wall') that stopped it... And maybe the knocker too was a third spirit? Curious! What do you think?
Though, in my opinion, there's not enough information in your story as to know for sure what or who lifted your father, I think your story is fascinating. Somehow I consider it possible that a protective spirit didn't want your father to open that door, perhaps preventing him from a encounter with someone/something negative.
Any idea if break-and-enters were common in the neighborhood around the time when this experience took place?
Hopefully you'll decide to participate in the discussion since your feedback would make this story even more interesting.
