 * For example:
 *

 * {@code def list = new ArrayList(); int capture = 0; list.sort((x,y) -> x - y + capture)}

 * {@code sort(list, lambda$0, capture)}
 *

 * At link time, when we know the interface type, this is decomposed with MethodHandle
 * combinators back into (pseudocode):

 * {@code sort(list, lambda$0(capture))}

The Death of Co-Author of 'Three Cups of Tea' Is Ruled Suicide
'Three Cups of Tea'
David Oliver Relin was widely considered innocent of the lies of which his co-author Greg Mortenson was accused, writes Michael Daly.

On Wednesday, the Multnomah County Sheriff's office reached an official determination that David Oliver Relin took his life on Nov. 15 by stepping in front of a freight train outside Portland, Ore.
The 49-year-old coauthor of the bestseller-turned-controversy Three Cups of Tea is said to have driven to the Corbett Hill Road exit of Interstate 84 and left his car in a parking area beside the railroad tracks that run along the Columbia River.
Nearby is a forested area where he had once read to his wife, schoolteacher Dawn Relin, the earliest pages of the book that would become a blessing before it became a blindsiding curse.
"The look on her lovely fire lit face that evening in the Salmon-Huckleberry-Wilderness when I read her the first few completed chapters," David Relin recalled in the book's acknowledgments.
In the aftermath of his suicide, Relin's family said through his literary agent only that he suffered from depression. That struggle could not have been made easier by seeing his first book soar on the strength of his talent and hard work and love of words and attention to detail and lifelong passion for speaking truth for the powerless only to have it all smeared by scandal in which he seemed to have played no witting part.
Relin was so proud of Three Cups of Tea that he dedicated it to his late father, Lloyd Relin, a prominent Rochester attorney who won a landmark bankruptcy case before the Supreme Court and died in 1986. Imagine how the son must have felt last year, when both 60 Minutes and author Jon Krakauer charged Greg Mortenson, Relin's co-author and the focus of the book, with fabricating significant parts of the story and using charity donations related to the book for his own benefit.
"The first eight chapters of Three Cups of Tea are an intricately wrought work of fiction presented as fact," Krakauer wrote with palpable indignation in an e-book called Three Cups of Deceit. "And by no means was this an isolated act of deceit. It turns out that Mortenson's books and public statements are permeated with falsehoods."
Mortenson did not respond to requests for comment from The Daily Beast, but he had eventually acknowledged to Outside magazine some inaccuracies in Three Cups of Tea. He insisted they were just the result of "literary license" and "compression," suggesting Relin was complicit.
"What happens then is, when you re-create the scenes, you have my recollections, the different memories of those involved, you have his writing, and sometimes things come out different," Mortenson told Outside.
Mortenson did not even try to explain why people he said were Taliban who had kidnapped him told reporters that they had in fact served as his protectors. These supposed kidnappers produced a photo of Mortenson standing with them, holding an AK-47.
Relin appears to have been constrained from defending himself at least partly by legal concerns, foremost among them a 2011 class-action lawsuit brought in the name of readers who said they had been defrauded when they bought the 2006 book believing it was nonfiction. His plight must have seemed all the more unfair to the upstanding son of an upstanding lawyer.
"This lawsuit threatened Relin's career as a writer," says Relin's attorney, Sonia Montalbano, in court papers.
Relin needed no defense among the many colleagues and friends who continued to consider him a writer of uncommon dedication and integrity. Not even Mortenson's most prominent critics have suggested that Relin knowingly incorporated falsehoods into his account of how Mortenson came to build schools in remote villages in Pakistan and Afghanistan.
'We never had any indication that he was involved in any way with the inaccuracies and fabrications in the book," says Steve Kroft of 60 Minutes.
Relin had reason to be greatly relieved when U.S. District Court Judge Sam Haddon dismissed the lawsuit as "speculative and flimsy" in April. But there remained the court of public opinion, before which Relin's second book is scheduled to appear next June.
Second Suns centers on America eye surgeon Geoffrey Tabin, who happens to have been a co-inventor of bungee jumping but whose true claim to fame is teaming up with a counterpart in Nepal in curing cataract-related blindness in the indigent.
The subject matter seems as compelling as the first book and the jacket in the publisher's 2013 online catalogue is similar in design. The jacket bills Relin as the co-author of Three Cups of Tea, which otherwise would have been a big boost toward another bestseller, well-deserved acclaim, and, what Relin seems to have prized most, the furtherance of a worthy cause.
Only, Three Cups of Tea still carried a taint of fraud. How do you secure forgiveness for something for which you bear no reasonable blame? How do you shake the fact that what might have been has been forever changed because a man you trusted betrayed you?
And Relin was not some hack hagiographer who regurgitated whatever his primary source told him. He studied English literature at Vassar, won a fellowship to the Iowa Writer's Workshop, and honed his craft over the years writing magazine pieces, working with such care that he usually needed little or no editing.
"There was a nice music to his writing," says Lee Kravitz, his longtime editor at Scholastic and then at Parade. "He cared about every comma … He also had a particular talent and ability to tell stories of people whose stories are not often told."
Relin focused much of his work on young people: child soldiers, homeless youngsters, girls denied education. He had a way of making readers not just care about the plight of his subjects but want to do something about it. He saw journalism as a calling, and he answered it with all of his heart.
"The type who goes out there to use his skill and talents for the good," Kravitz says. "He wasn't the type of journalist who was interested in tearing people or things down."
Kravitz had learned of Mortenson through another writer who had done a piece on him for Parade. Kravitz felt that Relin was just the just the writer to tell the full, book-length story of this man who seemed to be doing such remarkable good in a part of the world that desperately needed it.
"It was the perfect match of writer and story," Kravitz says.
In a 2010 talk videotaped at a Tacoma, Wash., public library, Relin recalled that the suggestion from Kravitz came after he had turned down an offer to be embedded with American troops in Iraq.
"I didn't want to become embedded in what I consider to be the greatest foreign policy mistake in my lifetime," Relin remembered.
And Relin just happened to be in town when Kravitz called.
"I was in New York for my best friend's wedding, and Greg Mortenson was in New York chasing rich people," Relin recalled.
Kravitz had invited Relin and Mortenson to his office at Parade.
"It was sort of like one of those scenes where the drawbridge comes up and the dungeon door closes," Relin recalled. "I don't think he actually wrapped chains around his office door and shut a padlock, but it sort of felt that way."
Mortenson told a remarkable tale of being rescued and sheltered by Pakistani villagers after becoming lost while mountain climbing. Mortenson said he had pledged to repay their kindness by building a school there and he had made good on his pledge in memory of his dead sister. He hoped to build many more schools in Pakistan and Afghanistan, especially for girls who would otherwise have no access to education.
Relin could not have imagined that this was a man who would later be called a pathological liar. Mortenson seemed to Relin to be fighting terrorism in exactly the right way.
"He's not going and chasing the symptoms of the disease and by that I mean people with names like Osama or Saddam," Relin told the library gathering. "Greg was working to cure the disease itself, and by that I mean the root causes of terrorism—poverty and ignorance and the people who cynically take advantage of the people who are suffering from those conditions."
Relin recalled that at the end of the conversation in Kravitz's office, Mortenson had asked if he was interested in writing a book about the effort and its genesis.
"I said, 'I cannot imagine anything more important than that,'" Relin recalled. "I dropped what I was doing and began the sometimes pleasurable and sometimes infuriating process of chasing Greg Mortenson all over the world."
Relin interviewed some 200 people over 18 months. The result sold more than 4 million copies and became required reading for U.S. troops deploying to Afghanistan. Relin said that he had seen the book as an opportunity to give voice to moderates at a time when extremists were seeking to pit Muslim and the West against each other.
"We are hearing from the loudest people, the extremists, not just Muslim extremists but extremists in this, our own society, and they're drowning out the rest of us," Relin said. "They're drowning out the majority of us, the moderates who have much more in common than we have the things that separate us."
Half of the royalties for Three Cups of Tea went to Relin, but neither 60 Minutes nor Krakauer nor anybody else ever suggested that he was knowingly involved in anything even slightly shady. The money did no doubt help make him a more alluring target of the lawsuit, which did not initially include him. He was only roped in afterward by an amended complaint.
Relin's lawyer, Montalbano, would note that the plaintiff's lawyers failed to identity which particular sections of the book were false but did request some very specific information from him.
"Plaintiff's counsel demanded that Relin provide a statement of his net financial worth," Montalbano said in court papers.
Relin had not responded to a request from 60 Minutes for comment before it aired its story in April of last year, but Montalbano offered an unequivocal defense in court papers filed in response to the lawsuit in Montana federal court.
Montalbano declares in the papers that "Relin does stand by the manuscript he wrote, " noting that her client "fully acknowledged partial inaccuracies" in the book with what amounted to a disclaimer in the introduction.
"[Mortenson's] fluid sense of time made pinning down the exact sequence of many events in this book almost impossible," Relin had written.
The court papers go on to state, "Relin denies the accusation by the Plaintiffs that he somehow knew any of the anecdotes and stories included in 3CT were false at the time he wrote them."
The lead plaintiff's lawyer was Alexander "Zander" Blewett, a prominent personal injury lawyer based in Mortenson's home state of Montana whose firm handles everything from auto accidents to dog bites, and reports on its website that it has secured 17 judgments in excess of $1 million. The Three Cups of Tea suit was apparently inspired by one brought by several readers against James Frey in 2006, after A Million Little Pieces proved to be fiction, not memoir, as it was billed. Frey's publisher, Random House, by chance Relin's new publisher, had eventually settled, agreeing to refund readers and of course pay lawyers' fees, the total not to exceed $2.35 million.
Blewett did not return a call seeking comment, but it seems safe to assume he hoped for an outcome that was equally favorable and perhaps even more lucrative. Three Cups of Tea was an even bigger hit and the lawyers added allegations originally made by 60 Minutes and Krakauer that Mortenson had perpetrated further fraud in a second book written without Relin and misused donation to his charity Central Asia Institute (CAI), squandering ridiculous sums on chartered jets, author appearances, and purchasing his own book.
"It appears that the only purpose of the allegations involving CAI is to incense a jury with the goal of recovering punitive damages," Relin's lawyer says in court papers.
Meanwhile, the blameless Relin was listed among the defendants in a lawsuit bristling with allegations of disgraceful lies and rankest fraud.
"Within this maelstrom of accusations, Relin finds himself an unwilling participant," Montalbano said in the papers.
Relin's many loyal friends did not doubt him for a moment.
"I can't imagine David doing anything but what was right and correct," Kravitz says. "Writing a book like that or any article, I don't think he would have made any decisions that were unethical. It just wasn't him."
An online obituary has a guest book filled with testaments to an eminently sane journalist who labored to make himself a benefit to the world. One friend remembered that Relin had been "a class act" even as a kid in summer camp. Another recalled him bringing a flower to his wife when she was teaching at Pubic School 183 in New York. Friends of his parents wrote of a young man who had "the head and the heart to bring elegance to the ordinary."
"David had more stories to tell," they wrote. "His loss belongs to us all."
A neighbor at his home in Oregon wrote:
"What if the quiet young man down the streetfinds a place to stand?What if he notices that now he can move the whole world,toward Peace?What if he leans his shoulder to the world with all his might,What if his efforts inspire millions,And raise big waves?What if the waves wash him away?"
His second book is still scheduled for release in June, and in the eye surgeon Tabin it seems to have an entirely genuine hero. Tabin said of Relin on Wednesday, "I'm deeply, deeply saddened by this tragic loss. I had the chance to get to know David well over the past three years while he was following me on my travels. He was a fantastic, passionate person who will be missed by all who knew him and loved him."
Tabin suggested that another genuine hero of Second Suns is David Oliver Relin himself.
"I'm looking forward to the publication of his book, which will be a lasting statement of his compassion and dedication to overcoming human suffering."

He served as the president of the Canadian group of the Inter-Parliamentary Union for a one-year term in 2016. In that capacity, he delivered a speech about youth in politics at an IPU meeting in Zambia.

Independence
Erskine-Smith has been called as Canada's most independent parliamentarian, with the National Post has described him as "maverick" and CBC describing him as Ottawa's "least predictable MP." Erskine-Smith described his position in an op-ed in the Toronto Star, writing:

Animal welfare and Bill C-246
In 2015, Erskine-Smith seconded Bill S-203, the Ending the Captivity of Whales and Dolphins Act, that became law in June 2019. The bill prohibits the captivity of cetaceans and requires permits to import and export them to and from Canada. Erskine-Smith spoke to the house about the importance of the bill in June 2018.

On February 26, 2016, Erskine-Smith introduced Bill C-246, the Modernizing Animal Protections Act, to ban the import of shark fins and make Canada's animal cruelty laws tougher. The bill won support from EndCruelty, a coalition of Canadians who support stronger animal protection laws. Due to concerns from animal use lobbyists, the bill was defeated 198 to 84 at second reading. Two years later, a government bill addressing similar concerns was tabled by Justice Minister Jody Wilson-Raybould. She acknowledged Erskine-Smith's efforts as a precursor to the government's legislation. The defeat of Erskine-Smith's Bill C-246 led to the creation of the Liberal Animal Welfare Caucus in 2017. On September 5, 2017, Erskine-Smith wrote a piece in Now Magazine addressing his veganism and the importance of a social change towards the treatment of animals.

Animal welfare awards
In 2016, Erskine-Smith received the Humane Legislator Award from Animal Justice for his efforts to modernize Canada's federal animal protection laws with Bill C-246. In 2017, Erskine-Smith received the Fur-Bearers' Clements award for his dedication to improving the lives of animals with Bill C-246. In 2019, Erskine-Smith was awarded the Toronto Vegetarian Association Lisa Grill Compassion for Animals Award for his compassion and commitment toward animals. He was also recognized by Humane Canada for his dedication to ending animal abuse.

Climate action and Bill C-454
In October 2018, Erskine-Smith called an emergency debate on climate change in Parliament in response to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's special report on global warming. He requested action to be taken by the government and Canadians to ensure that Canada can reduce its emissions and reach the targeted goals. On June 5, 2019, Erskine-Smith introduced Bill C-454, the Net-Zero Greenhouse Gas Emissions Act, to require the Government of Canada to reduce GHG emissions to net zero by 2050.

Drug policy reform and Bill C-460
Erskine-Smith believes that the war on drugs has been a failure. He has been a vocal supporter of cannabis legalization and regulation, and has called for a new approach to treat drug use as a health issue. In February 2016, Erskine-Smith represented the Canadian government's pro-marijuana legalization views to a joint United Nations/Inter-Parliamentary Union conference reviewing how different countries were dealing with illegal drugs. He partnered with Mexican Senator Laura Rojas to argue that countries should seek alternatives to incarceration in cases where individuals have drugs solely for personal use. In early January 2017, Erskine-Smith published an op-ed in Vice News Canada calling for the decriminalization of all drug possession as a logical next step to the government's progressive drug policy. In late January 2017, Erskine-Smith delivered a speech in the House of Commons in support of Bill C-37, to expand access to safe injection clinics across Canada. In the first episode of the television series Political Blind Date in 2017, Erskine-Smith and Conservative MP Garnett Genuis discussed their differing perspectives on the legalization of marijuana in Canada. Erskine-Smith introduced a Liberal caucus policy resolution to address the opioid crisis through a public health approach, and it was adopted as the second overall priority by the grassroots Liberal membership at the Liberal Policy Convention in Halifax in April 2018.

Bill C-460
To ensure more people access treatment, Erskine-Smith introduced a bill to remove criminal sanctions for low-level possession and to reduce the stigma associated with seeking treatment. In 2018, Erskine-Smith appeared on CBC's Power & Politics to speak about his disappointment in the Liberal government's signing of the United States' 'War on Drugs' document. He argued it brought the conversation about drugs away from a health issue, which ran counter to his push for drug decriminalization and domestic policy at the time.

Cannabis record expungement
Erskine-Smith seconded a bill introduced by New Democratic MP Murray Rankin. In March 2019, Erskine-Smith wrote an op-ed for NOW Magazine where he discussed his support for Rankin's bill, stating that only expungements would address the injustice of cannabis criminalization.

Privacy work
In 2017, Erskine-Smith traveled to Washington  with the Access to Information, Privacy and Ethics committee to attend a congressional hearing on the Equifax data breach, and met with Congressmen from the Digital Commerce subcommittee, with Facebook privacy experts, and with officials from the Federal Trade Commission. In May 2018, Erskine-Smith scrutinized Facebook  officials at the Standing Committee on Access to Information, Privacy and Ethics  regarding the Cambridge Analytica scandal and the extent of privacy breaches for Canadians. In 2018, Erskine-Smith participated as the Canadian delegation in the U.K.'s International Grand Committee on social media and disinformation. In total, 24 officials from 9 countries representing 447 million people participated. In June 2018, Erskine-Smith introduced Bill-C413, an Act to amend the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act, to give new powers for the Privacy Commissioner to better protect our privacy. In May 2019, Erskine-Smith participated in the Canadian delegation of the International Grand Committee  to meet with representatives from Google, Facebook and Twitter, among others. The Silicon Valley representatives were asked to defend their companies' records on protecting users' data. In August 2019, Erskine-Smith wrote an op-ed for the Toronto Star expressing his desire for the right to be forgotten. He explained that in an increasingly connected, online world citizens should have the right to hide content published about them from search engines if the individual's privacy is being seriously violated.

43rd Parliament (2019-2021)

Support for universal pharmaceutical provision
In February 2021, alongside Wayne Long, Erskine-Smith was one of only two Liberal MPs to vote in favour of an New Democratic Party (NDP) motion to take a first step towards developing a national pharmacare system. The bill, proposed by Peter Julian, would have established the conditions for federal financial contributions to provincial drug insurance plans. The following year, the Liberal Party would commit to work towards a "universal national pharmacare program" as part of their confidence and supply agreement with the NDP following the 2021 federal election.

Committee work
Erskine-Smith is a member of the Standing Committee on Industry, Science and Technology.

Bill C-235 and C-236
In 2020, Erskine-Smith introduced Bill C-235. This bill would delete the drug possession offence from the Criminal Code.

He also introduced Bill C-236, which would provide diversion options to law enforcement, crown attorneys, and judges for drug possession cases.

Gun Control

In an op-ed published in October of 2019, Erskine-Smith stated his belief that minority governments hold potential for greatness, among various other campaign talking points Erskine-Smith advocates for stronger gun control.

44th Parliament (2022- )

Emergencies Act

In response to the occupation of downtown Ottawa by the so-called "Freedom Convoy", the government enacted the Emergencies Act. With Ottawa streets being largely cleared of protesters by the time of the vote, Erskine-Smith's Speech to Parliament condemned the protests, but questioned the use of the Act, and its approval after the clearance. He ultimately voted with the Act, as it was a confidence motion.

Personal life
Erskine-Smith was raised vegetarian, and is now vegan. He has Crohn's disease.

Erskine-Smith married Amelia (Amy) Symington, a prominent Toronto vegan chef and nutritionist, on her family farm in Camlachie, Ontario. The two met in an undergraduate film studies course at Queen's University. They have two sons, Mackinlay, born in 2016, and Crawford, born in 2019.

Thanks to Ned, I think we need to add a new tag: "Gilsplaining." He's back at it again today. If we tried to apply the tag retroactively, however, I think it'd have to apply to almost every strip Gil appears in.
What's wrong with this picture? Oh yeah, Gil.
What a missed opportunity this story arc was on so many levels.
A chance to address the plight of Puerto Rican refugees and how they process their devastation and displacement… blown.
A chance to bring Paul Strange back into the strip as Moon's (temporary) replacement… gone.
A chance to see basketball action… Ha! Nope.
Gil's mere words are peeling the mask off of Paloma in P2. Is Paloma thinking "You're My knight in shining armor?" I was hoping for some kind of response from her.
billy is right on the money on all counts. As usual. I am reduced to cheap shots such as asking how, in the 3rd panel, Gil and Mimi have somehow been transported from Mfnrd to Hell's Kitchen. Looks like about 46th St, walking from 10th to 9th.
For those not on intimate terms with Manhattan, Hell's Kitchen is a highly desirable neighborhood. It got its name when the Five Points slum was broken up in the later 19th century and the street gangs moved north. It's been perfectly safe for a long time, but people keep trying to sanitize the name. "Clinton" was attempted (for DeWitt Clinton) and the realtors have been pushing for "Midtown West," but I have never heard any New Yorker use either name. It's kind of like "Avenue of the Americas." No. It's just "6th Avenue." "Avenue of the Americas" can be a kind of test for detecting out-of-towners, much pronouncing Houston St the same as the city in Texas, when it's actually HOUSE-ton.
As a shareholder in WDIG I would go immediately to the station, grab the prospectus from the IPO and reaffirm the mission statement in the prodpectus. This isn't Eddie Vedder in a yacht off Lake Michigan doing Pirate Radio. This is about sales Sales SALES!!
MONEY!!' You are fired immediately and a team of meth fueled outlaws are brought in to turn WDIG into the broadcasting powerhouse it deserves to be. And that means advertising and revenue.
Gang, another great day for comments. teenchy, you're scarin' me, I think you just invented a word that'll be in Funk & Wagnalls before too long(ha). And vaganova, VERY informative and interesting observations on Manhattan and vicinity. I liked your take on Houston Street. Having lived in the Kentucky/Indiana area forever, there's a county in Kentucky, Rowan County, that many people think is pronounced like Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In when I believe it's pronounced ROW(rhymes with "OW")-en County. I still have to drum THAT one in my head(ha ha).
That said, gang, you all done good. Each one of you made democracy work and, again, I won't lie, I'm flattered by the responses but more important, your comments were funny and thought-provoking. I'll keep saying it. We got a good thing going and you people have much to do with that.
Let's hang Gil on a cross tomorrow once again and the horse he rode in on.
tdrew, America is dotted with such borrowings. We have a New Berlin not far from here (BURR-lin,) and once in Vermont I was directed to the E-light Cafe, which turned out to be the Elite.
Freckle boy is quite the card. And a mental bully. Golly, I didn't even take geometry. But I know one thing. He's a square! To continue from Saturday TDrew, yes Gil is again in the running for Milford turd of the year.

BEST SLOW COOKER BARBECUE BEEF BRISKET — Beef brisket is covered in a blend of savory spices and liquid smoke, then smothered in your favorite barbecue sauce and slow cooked to perfection. The most delicious, tender brisket you'll ever try!
I've tried a lot of beef brisket recipes over the years, and after taking one bite of this brisket, I knew I'd found my go-to recipe.
I don't own a smoker (although they seem to be all the rage right now), and aside from that, I think the slow cooker is the best possible method for baking beef brisket.
Even better, this version is so easy to get started. You just cover your brisket in a savory spice rub, add some liquid smoke and your favorite barbecue sauce, then turn on the slow cooker and walk away.
Eight to ten hours later, everyone will be raving about your brisket! At least, that's what my family was doing. We loved this so much, I made it twice in one week!
Not only does this recipe result in a flavorful, tender piece of beef, the sauce that comes out of the slow cooker is pretty amazing too. It really puts this brisket over the top!
If you're looking for the perfect dish to serve on Father's Day, let me tell you, this is the one! I don't know a dad out there who wouldn't love this.
Personally, I think a big pile of mashed potatoes is the perfect side for this brisket, because of the savory, barbecue infused sauce.
But almost any kind of potato side would be great. And a green salad for good measure.
I know we'll never make brisket any other way around here. Well, unless I break down and get one of those smokers. But even then, I think this slow cooked version may still be my go to recipe.
Be sure to save this Best Slow Cooker Barbecue Beef Brisket recipe to your favorite Pinterest board for later.
Mix together all of the seasonings and rub over brisket. Stir together the liquid smoke, barbecue sauce and Worcestershire sauce in a lightly greased oval slow cooker.
Add the brisket to the slow cooker and turn to coat with the sauce. Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours.
Transfer the brisket to a cutting board. Cover loosely with foil and let stand for 15-20 minutes. Slice meat across the grain and serve with the sauce from the slow cooker.

Q: bootstrap tagsinput allowing duplicates even when set to false tags-input is allowing duplicates wen I set a value in html
<input type="text" value="XYZ" class="tagsResult tagIn form-control" data-role="tagsinput sometext" data-color="success">

Then when I try to add same tag dynamically it is getting added.
$(".tagsResult").tagsinput('add', 'XYZ');
    $(".tagsResult").tagsinput('refresh');

Again when I manually type in the same "XYZ" it accepts again, but if I do it repeatedly beside newly typed, it works properly i.e it wont allow, but in above two cases it is allowing duplicate when it should not.
Anyone have faced similar issue? Do let me know how can this be fixed.

The Julian Bliss Septet: A Tribute to Benny Goodman
Signum Classics
By Ric Bang
Buy CD: A Tribute to Benny Goodman
Signum Classics is a British label and Julian Bliss, born in the United Kingdom in 1989, is an internationally famed clarinetist; he also designed a range of clarinets for Conn/Selmer that bear his name. He was a child prodigy, performing in public at the age of 5, who became much better known for his work with concert and symphony orchestras than as a leader of jazz combos.
At the age of 7, during a trip to New York City, Bliss heard — and fell in love with — Benny Goodman, thanks to a CD the boy purchased as a souvenir. That was it: Bliss had found his bliss. Years later, still enthralled, he decided to do something about it. With the support of arranger Neal Thornton, Bliss selected a baker's dozen of Goodman hits, formed a septet, and recorded this album.
Jazz has taken many forms over the years. Some are "locale" related — Chicago, Kansas City, East Coast, West Coast — while others have been "time" related: 4 to the bar, 2 to the bar, and so forth. Goodman was part of the swing era, which was most often "4 to the bar" dance and pop. It was an infectious and wonderful genre, and those who lived through that period still miss it.
Bliss has revived it in this tribute album.
You'll recognize many of these tunes. "Don't Be That Way," "Stompin' at the Savoy," "Seven Come Eleven" and "Soft Winds" are Goodman classics, written in conjunction with (respectively) Edgar Sampson, Charlie Christian and Fred Royal; all were members of Benny's band at one time or another. These and others on this album — "Up a Lazy Rive," "Lady Be Good," "Here's That Rainy Day" — are done under their original titles, but their chord structures have been utilized to create "new" tunes within the bop genre.
Every member of Bliss' septet obviously had a great time during this recording session. If you're from my generation, you'll experience the same thrill.

Bali Tenganan Village is one of the oldest Balinese Traditional Village located in Karangasem Regency, east part of Bali. This village is much referred by cultural literature science of Tenganan Pegringsingan, which is very famous in the island. It own very unique local community life pattern which is one example of Bali Aga Village cultures (Hindu Prehistoric) and different with other countryside in plain of Bali. Nowadays, this village has been appointed as a place for tourist destination which can present the attractive and unique matters which able to add the variation of object and fascination for tourist to come.
Some say that the word Tenganan was derived from the word "tengah" or "ngatengahang" which means, "move to the inner area". This derivation of word was having a relation with the movement of the villagers from the seaside to a rural area, in which the position of this village is in the middle of hills, which are western hill (Kauh Hill) and eastern hill (Kangin Hill).
Another version reveals that the people of Tenganan Village came from Peneges village, located in Gianyar, precisely near Bedahulu. Based on the folklore, once upon a time Bedahulu King lost one of his horses. The people looked for it to the east and the horse was finally found dead by Ki Patih Tunjung Biru, the King's right hand. For his loyalty, the King finally gave Ki Patih Tunjung Biru an authority to govern the land as far as the aroma of the carrion of the horse can be smelled. Ki Patih was an intelligent person, so he cut the carrion into pieces and spread it as far as he could. Thus he received a quite large area.

Corridor releases major renewable chemicals report; calls on Legislature to act

MAJOR BIOCHEMICAL WHITE PAPER FINDINGS ANNOUNCEMENT
Cultivation Corridor and IowaBio make major announcement and support statewide economic development incentive
A new white paper released today has found that Iowa is better-positioned than many domestic competitors to capitalize on the next frontier of bioprocessing in the United States. The report, titled "Biobased Chemicals: The Iowa Opportunity," was released by Iowa's Cultivation Corridor and the Iowa Biotechnology Association. The report details how statewide economic development incentives can address the unique needs of the budding industry and allow Iowa to emerge as a leader in biorenewable chemical investment and job creation in coming years. The findings of the report were released at a news conference at the Iowa State Capitol on Thursday. Among the report's findings:
First generation biofuels have been important economic drivers for the state of Iowa. Ethanol production alone in Iowa accounts for $2.23 billion per year in state GDP and supports more than 8,693 jobs.
At least five potential bio-based chemical production projects were identified through an industry interview process as part of the report. Representatives of each project indicated a biorenewable chemical production tax credit would be fundamental to the ultimate location decision in or outside Iowa.
The U.S. market for chemicals is more than $250 billion per year
More than 50,000 jobs in bio-based chemicals and materials are projected to be created in the United States by 2020.
Using income tax data, the payback period on the $61.7 million the state invested in the ethanol industry was just two years.
"Iowa is very well-positioned to capitalize on the next frontier of bioprocessing in the United States, which will help our state economy grow, create jobs and position us as a worldwide leader," said Brent Willett, Executive Director of the Cultivation Corridor. "We can and must capitalize on this opportunity, and we've got to work together to do so."
"The opportunity exists to be even more of a leader in this space due to our ability to bring the right people to the table," said Joe Hrdlicka, Executive Director of the Iowa Biotechnology Association. "To take the next step, we need support from our State Legislature in the form of a statewide economic development incentive tailored to address the unique needs of the burgeoning biorenewables industry."

Q: Travel time in Google Sheets using Google Directions API For these inputs:

*

*Origin

*Destination

*Arrival Time

I want two Google Sheets formulas that result in showing:

*

*the distance in miles

*travel times (driving, with traffic).

It'd be simple formulas that reference cells in the sheet that goes something like
=TravelTime(Origin,Destination,Arrive)

I've set up a Google Directions API account and pieced together this so far, but I have no idea how to get the URL to work and how to get the formula to return the outputs I want.
function TravelTime(Origin,Destination,Arrive) {

   var Origin
   var Destination
   var Arrive

   var apiUrl = 'https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/directions/json?origin='&Origin&'&destination='&Destination&'&key=MYKEY';

}

A: It seems you are trying to call an external API.
Try doing something like this:
function TravelTime(Origin,Destination,Arrive) {
  var apiUrl = 'https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/directions/json?origin='&Origin&'&destination='&Destination&'&key=MYKEY';
  var response = UrlFetchApp.fetch(apiUrl);
  var json = response.getContentText();
  var data = JSON.parse(json); //your final object, get the data you want here then return it.
}

Hope it helps!

UN "Death Targets" Will Mean Reduced Healthcare for Elderly
Written by Alex Newman
Elderly people in the United Kingdom and potentially worldwide are likely to be treated as "second-class citizens" and even denied life-saving medical treatment under proposed "highly unethical" United Nations "death targets," healthcare and aging experts declared in an open letter last week. The radical UN "Sustainable Development Goals," which would put virtually every realm of human activity in the crosshairs, include, among other controversial provisions, proposed global "targets" for reducing premature deaths from various causes. To meet those targets, the experts said, government-run healthcare systems such as the U.K. "National Health Service" (NHS) are likely to focus more resources on easier-to-save younger people — at the expense of the elderly whose deaths would not be counted as "premature." Some critics are even saying the plan heralds the advent of "death panels."
Officially dubbed the UN "Post-2015 Sustainable Development Goals," the plot being pushed by the UN and its member regimes represents a brazen attack on liberty, self-government, markets, national sovereignty, and more — all under the guise of "solving" all of the world's real and imagined problems. The death targets are merely one tiny component that includes everything from "education" and values to food and health. The specific "Sustainable Development Goals," set to replace the "Millennium Development Goals" established in 2000, are still being hammered out by UN bureaucrats and UN member regimes. Everything from "ending poverty" and "ending hunger" to "achieving gender equality" and "reducing income equality within and between countries" over 15 years is on the agenda. Imagine the coercive powers and the massive amount of resources required to even attempt such scheming.
Now, at least one component of the agenda — the age discrimination in healthcare — is coming under heavy criticism in the United Kingdom. In the open letter published by the prominent medical journal The Lancet and widely reported in the British press, the international coalition of experts lambasted the sought-after UN goal and demanded that it be scrapped or revised. Blasting the ideas as "agist" — discrimination against individuals based on their age — the signatories argued that the concept of "premature mortality" has the potential to "undermine the cherished, fundamental principle of health as a universal right for all." The letter specifically criticizes a previous article on the subject that it says is based on "ethical principles" that "are deeply troubling" — namely, "that people aged 70 years and above do not matter."
The signatories also argue that agist discrimination is already strong in areas such as cancer treatment even in high-income countries, and the situation is worse still in poorer nations. In the U.K., as The New American and many other sources have been documenting for years, the government-run healthcare monopoly known as NHS is already infamous for killing off the elderly and denying necessary care to patients. Last year, the U.K. Royal College of Surgeons, stating what was already well known, declared that elderly patients were being denied crucial treatment and operations due to such discrimination, according to British media reports. A few years before that, a British doctor warned that the socialist-style NHS was euthanizing as many as 130,000 patients each year through a controversial end-of-life "care" method called the Liverpool Care Pathway (LCP).
According to the letter in The Lancet, even if it is not the intent of those promoting the premature death targets, the inclusion of such goals in the UN "Sustainable Development Goals," set to be adopted in September, "will inevitably reinforce the ageist bias that pervades many aspects of health-care decision making." "A chronologically exclusive premature mortality target sends out a strong signal that years lived beyond a given age, such as 60 years or 70 years, are intrinsically less valuable than those of a younger person," the letter states. "This misconception builds on a flawed tradition in health-care priority setting, which includes an explicit bias against older people (as opposed to people of so-called economically and socially productive ages)."
The experts on aging who signed the letter — associated with the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, the Institute for Ageing and Health at Newcastle University, the Alzheimer's Society, Age UK, and HelpAge — were led by Peter Lloyd-Sherlock. Speaking to the U.K. Telegraph, the professor of social policy and international development at the University of East Anglia said: "This premature mortality target is highly unethical, since it unjustifiably discriminates against older people." He also noted that there is already age discrimination in cancer care and surgery, but that the UN targets would give the agism the "stamp of approval." However, the targets are "not quite set in stone yet, so we have a final opportunity to impress upon the UN the need to alter this explicitly ageist health target." If that does not happen, he warned ominously, "people aged 70 and over will become second-class citizens as far as health policy is concerned."
Lost amid the whole debate over the UN death targets and agism in healthcare, though, are several crucial overarching questions that must be addressed and are more important even than the discrimination debate. First of all, why is the UN — widely and properly ridiculed as the "dictators club" for its autocratic membership roster — setting "targets" and making 15-year "agendas" that will influence or even dictate national policy to begin with? Are the British and their elected representatives incapable of governing themselves without UN "targets" to guide their decisions? As the British struggle to free themselves from the European Union super-state, why is it accepted as inevitable that the UN's "Sustainable Development Goals" will guide U.K. policy on healthcare or anything else? Allowing Third World dictators to tell the once proud British people how to run their affairs should be seen as a disgrace — and it should be firmly rejected.
Second of all, why is the government involved in healthcare to begin with? Are citizens incapable of making their own medical decisions and looking after their own health without the nanny state? Considering the atrocious track record of the socialist-style NHS regime, it is way past time for the United Kingdom to abolish socialized medicine and allow the free market to work its magic. Allowing government to ration and control medical care — whether based on UN death targets or the whims of homegrown politicians and bureaucrats — has been shown conclusively to be a disaster, not to mention immoral. From euthanizing the elderly and urging them to sign "do not resuscitate" directives, to being consistently unable to meet the needs of patients, it is time for the NHS and similar socialized medicine regimes to be tossed on the ash heap of failed ideas with devastating and deadly consequences.
Finally, with the ongoing disaster that is the deeply unpopular "ObamaCare," are Americans traveling down the same dark road as the British? Absolutely. As the outlandish and impossibly expensive "Affordable Care" system implodes in on itself, and costs continue to spiral out of control thanks to government intervention, calls are growing for a full-blown socialized system to take its place. Even without a so-called "single payer system," though, ObamaCare represents a de facto nationalization of healthcare in America. And with the tacit support from the GOP majority in Congress, which continues to fund ObamaCare despite deceitful promises to voters and harsh rhetoric, Americans can look forward to a nightmarish healthcare future of rationing, discrimination against the elderly, no more privacy, and more — at least if nothing changes.
To solve many of the most urgent healthcare problems would be relatively simple — dismantle socialized medical systems, withdraw from the UN, and return to the eternal principles of liberty, responsibility, and national independence. However, for that to happen, the British and American publics must get educated, organized, and active, all in the face of a massive propaganda campaign by the UN. The alternative to stopping it — UN death targets, death panels, government rationing, "sustainable" tyranny, and more — must be crushed for the benefit of all.

We live in a world full of ever-changing noise with both natural and industrial origins. Despite this constant interference, we've developed several strategies for communicating with each other. If you've ever attended a busy party, you've probably found yourself shouting to be overheard by a nearby companion, and maybe even had to repeat yourself a few times to be understood.
Whales are even more dependent on sound for communicating with each other. For example, each autumn bowhead whales, a species of baleen whale, migrate along the Alaskan North Slope from their Canadian summer feeding grounds towards the Bering Sea. During this voyage, they make numerous low-frequency sounds (50-200 Hz) that are detectable on underwater microphones, or "hydrophones," up to tens of kilometers away. There are many mysteries about these calls, such as what type of information they convey, and why their frequency content seems to be shifting downward with time (Thode et al., 2017) for unknown reasons. Nevertheless, scientists generally agree that bowheads use these sounds for communication.
Changing conditions in the Arctic have encouraged more human industrial activity in this formerly remote region. For example, over the past decade multiple organizations have conducted seismic surveys throughout the Arctic Ocean to pinpoint oil-drilling locations or establish territorial claims. The impulsive "airgun" sounds generated by these activities could be detected over distances of more than 1000 km (Thode et al., 2010).
(Figure 2: Spectrogram of seismic airgun signals along with bowhead whale calls; sound file attached 4x normal speed).
Previous work by our team has found that bowhead whales double their calling rate whenever distant seismic signals are present (Blackwell et al., 2015). But what consequences, if any, could this behavioral change have on the long-term health of the bowhead population?
To answer this question my colleagues at Greeneridge Sciences Inc. and I have studied how bowhead whales respond to natural changes in noise levels, which during the summer and fall are caused primarily by wind in the relatively ship-free waters of the North. We found that, like humans at a party, whales can respond in two ways to rising noise levels. They can increase their loudness, or "source level," and/or they can increase the rate at which they produce calls. Measuring this effect is challenging, because whenever background noise levels increase it becomes difficult to detect weaker calls, an effect called "masking". Because of masking, as noise levels rise one might measure a decrease in calling rate as well as an apparent increase in call source levels, even if a whale population didn't actually change their calling behavior.
To solve this problem our team deployed multiple groups of hydrophones that allowed machine learning algorithms to localize the positions of over a million whale calls over the eight years of our study. We then threw away over 90% of these positions, keeping only calls that were produced at close range to our sensors, and thus wouldn't become masked by changes in noise levels. Continuing the party analogy, we effectively only listened to people close to us, so we could still detect whispers along with shouts.
We found that whales tried to increase their source levels as noise levels increased, but when noise levels became high enough (75% of maximum noise levels encountered naturally) the whales didn't call any louder, even as noise levels continued to rise (Figure 3).
Figure 3: Relationship between background noise level and whale calling level, for calls made within 3.5 km of a sensor.
Whales do, however, keep increasing their call rates with rising noise levels. We found that a 26-dB (400-times) increase in noise levels caused calling rates to double, the same rate increase caused by seismic airguns (Figure 4).
Figure 4: Image of relationship between whale calling rate (over ten minutes) and background noise level.
This work has thus allowed us to place bowhead whale responses to human disturbance in a natural noise context, which eventually may assist us in evaluating the long-term impact of such activities on population growth.

Robin Butler - CEO
Born in Kentucky, raised in Maryland, Robin originally took over a family construction business in 1974 and has been self-employed in construction ever since. He moved to Florida in 1992 to help rebuild Homestead, Florida after Hurricane Andrew. In 1995, Robin moved to Orlando. In the summer 2015, he started NOAH Certified, a third-party inspection and certification company for tiny houses on wheels.
As Founder of NOAH Certified, Robin Butler brings over 40+ years of experience building homes. From concept to completion, he's designed homes, drawn plans and built standard traditional and larger homes.
His experience working with the permit department, building inspections/inspectors and Planning and Zoning provide a deep body of knowledge for the building process. Robin saw a need for standards in the tiny house movement.
"Builders were building tiny houses to whatever standards and codes they saw fit, says Butler. "Many builders were experienced yet some were not. And building a tiny house on a movable foundation has challenges that a home on a fixed foundation does not."
NOAH Certified began filling this void by setting tiny house standards using national standards from the RV and home building industry. Even though NOAH Inspection and Certification is a voluntary process, over 100 builders across the Nation have become members of NOAH to assist them with the building of tiny houses. In addition to being able to use a tiny house as an RV, Robin is an advocate for tiny houses being approved as permanent residences.
Robin enjoys traveling the county speaking about standards and building codes for tiny houses on wheels. And, in his spare time, Robin likes to fish, snorkel and go hiking in the mountains. He is a happily married empty-nester, with four kids and seven grandkids, with three generations of family currently serving on the NOAH Certified team including Robin's 23-year-old grandson.
Bonnie Butler - Vice President
Bonnie comes to NOAH Certified with a background in Business & Finance. Bonnie earned her Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from New Hampshire College. She spent 23 years in marketing, product management, customer service, and finance. Before joining the NOAH team, Bonnie focused her talents in the financial industry as a loan officer.
Prior to marrying, Robin Butler, Bonnie was a single mom for 20 years and understands the value in living a simple life and the importance of quality family time which is what intrigued her about the tiny house movement. Bonnie enjoys meeting and serving people. Her hobbies include hiking, biking, gardening, and of course attending tiny house events.
Jordan Miller - Head of I.T.
As head of IT for NOAH Certified, Jordan Miller brings 5 years of experience as well as passion and dedication in his ability to support, create, market and promote NOAH and its member community. He is an integral part of the organization who meets the everyday challenges to creatively design new and innovative ways to represent 'NOAH Certified', via social media marketing and web design. Jordan has always had an interest in all things technical from an early age. "I would dissect any technological device in my path, just to study and learn the inner workings of the hardware, " says Miller. " Since then I have built upon my knowledge and understanding of the forever evolving technological world, enabling me to successfully support and manage all technological functions within the business."
Cheri Sherrill - Office Manager
Cheri has worked in several different aspects of being in an office setting and supported many different professions from the medical field, construction, real estate as well as photography. She has worked internationally for companies. Cheri has over 30 years' experience in office administration.
Cheri believes that when an office runs smooth, then a company can prosper. Cheri is passionate about NOAH and knows that the tiny house community will be even bigger in the future than it is today. Cheri enjoys spending time with her family and gardening in her spare time.
Nanci Miller - Director of Human Resources
Nanci has been very passionate about Tiny Living since she lost her first tooth at 5 years old. Her father would stack phone books for her to sit on so that she could see over his drafting table to draw up her own Tiny House Plans. As she grew up, she has maintained the same level of love for living Tiny. As a professional in the Tiny House Industry she gets satisfaction knowing she is helping others fulfill their own dreams of living Tiny.
Nanci entered the Tiny House arena after attending Kent State University and investing 20+ years in the service industry. She is excited about the growth of the Tiny House 'movement', since 2015, the industry has grown exponentially. Nanci's hobbies include; Tiny Living shows, blogs, festivals and people!

In October 2019, FINRA barred Miller when he still refused to respond to the investigation. FINRA was investigating Miller after he was terminated by his former brokerage firm, LPL Financial, for improperly exercising discretion in customer accounts.
Louis Mark Miller (CRD# 3054955) was a financial advisor and registered representative of LPL Financial from November 2013 to December 2017. He worked in a branch office in Jericho, New York.
Brokerage firms like LPL Financial have a responsibility to adequately supervise all representatives who are registered through their firm. Brokerage firms also must take steps to ensure that their financial advisors follow all securities rules and regulations, as well as internal firm policies. When brokerage firms fail to adequately supervise their registered representatives, they may be liable for investment losses sustained by customers.

Tasty Tuesday: Basil Pizza becomes a product of the American Dream
Mohamed Al-Sayed moved from Egypt in 2014 and fell in love with Italian food
DUBLIN, Va. – When you walk into Basil Pizza, you see American flags draped from the ceiling and quirky signs like the one that says, "Say no to drugs & yes to pizza." You're greeted by Mohamed Al-Sayed who, just six years ago, was still living in Egypt.
Now, he says, "Dublin is my family…my second family."
While Al-Sayed was looking for work, he tells us, "I was cooking, if I have time, at home with my wife…just trying to help."
It was then that he realized his love for Italian food, which took off because of the variety.
"You can do pasta, you can do pizza and subs. It's a lot."
And it's a lot that he has to offer on the Basil Pizza menu. The menu is massive with 16 specialty pizzas, stromboli, calzones, pizza, subs, burgers, etc. He does go beyond Italian food too.
"We also add some Egyptian food," mainly in the form of Falafel.
Now, the key to most great restaurants is the effort and love put into the recipes and the food. There's no shortage of either here. Everything from the dough to the sauce is homemade, but with a secret ingredient that isn't so secret after all.
Al-Sayed reveals, "Basil is in everything in the main recipe."
As he tossed the dough like a pro and layered the sauce and cheese, we looked on with watering mouths beneath our masks. When it came time to do our weekly taste test, I couldn't help but wonder about the sauce. Having grown up around Italian food, that's something I'm particular about.
After one bite, I said to Al-Sayed, "That sauce is perfect. 'It's not salty or anything. It's really fresh." And I meant every word of it.
Next up were the mini rolls and the cheesesteak, which he says have been top sellers in the past year and a half. And if you're like Al-Sayed, he says he offers this other than just pizza because, "I love to make pizza more than to eat it. It would make me a little bit of fat."
Basil Pizza is open 11a-9p Monday through Thursday, 11a-10p Friday and Saturday and noon to 9 Sunday.
