'This Is Mostly A Protest': MSNBC's Ali Velshi Says Riots Aren't Unruly As Building Burns Behind Him

MSNBC journalist Ali Velshi claimed the Minneapolis riots were "not, generally speaking, unruly" Thursday as the building behind him was engulfed in flames.
Velshi was reporting live from Minnesota after protests turned to rioting in the wake of George Floyd's death. Floyd, 46, died after being arrested by police for an alleged forgery. Video footage shows that one police officer stepped on Floyd's neck for several minutes, despite the man crying for help and bystanders begging the officer to get off.
During the third day of increasingly unruly riots, Velshi began by claiming the scene "looked a lot calmer than yesterday" throughout much of the day. The journalist then said there were "four fires" burning nearby – with one directly behind him – before claiming that the riots were just peaceful protests.
"I want to be clear on how I characterize this," Velshi said in front of a burning building. "This is mostly a protest. It is not, generally speaking, unruly but fires have been started and this crowd is relishing that." (RELATED: CNN Correspondent Arrested Live On-Air During Minneapolis Riots)
The network is not framing its reporting using the word "riots," MSNBC host Craig Melvin tweeted Thursday.
"This will guide our reporting in MN. 'While the situation on the ground in Minneapolis is fluid, and there has been violence, it is most accurate at this time to describe what is happening there as 'protests'–not riots,'" Melvin wrote.
Thursday evening saw rioters light the 3rd Police Precinct on fire as officers evacuated the premises. Townhall reporter Julio Rosas expressed shock at the scene Thursday evening, noting that it was not comparable to other previous protests.
"I've covered many protests/riots in my short time working in the media and I can say none of them (Charlottesville, D.C., Portland) comes close to what I'm seeing in Minneapolis right now," Rosas reported.

When Non-Hunters Feel Qualified To Analyze Our Sport
Current Outdoor Issues Hunting
Ever since Cheney's unfortunate accident I've been closely monitoring the media coverage the story and hunting has received as a result of the mishap. I've seen the issue turned and twisted just about every way possible…and almost without exception the opinion writer will either take a pot-shot at Cheney for his failed actions (usually with some political under tones discernible)…at the sport of hunting in general for being inherently dangerous and unnecessary…or sometimes loathing both Cheney and hunting. No doubt about it…during the weeks since the accident it has been good fodder for those water cooler discussions.
J.R. Absher in his Outdoor Weblog pointed out a good article recently that hit it on the head and I think should be a must read for sportsmen. In fact, you may want to read the story on that link sort of as a preventative dose for the total insanity I'm about to expose below.
I suppose it was bound to happen that people would use the Cheney incident as a catalyst of sorts to drive home their agenda that both Cheney and hunting is bad. But the manner in which these folks purport to be some kind of expert on things leaves me about ready to gag. Consider these excerpts from a recent opinion writer in the Salem, Oregon StatesmanJournal. (click on the excerpts to read the piece in its entirety)
"…from a legal point of view, the precedent that matters here may not be Cheney, but rather a hapless Maine hunter named Donald Rogerson.
Rogerson, like Cheney, shot someone while in search of game. Mistaking a 37-year-old housewife for a white-tailed deer, Rogerson shot and killed her. Locals insisted the victim (who had recently moved from Iowa) was to blame because she was wearing white mittens during deer season. A Bangor, Maine, jury cleared him of manslaughter….
…Cheney and Rogerson share the ignoble distinction of succumbing to what hunters (and lawyers) call "buck fever." It is a phenomenon as old as hunting, defined by the Random House dictionary as the "nervous excitement of an inexperienced hunter upon the approach of game."
Okay, let's stop right here for a moment. Correct me if I'm wrong…but "buck fever" usually is an excuse why a hunter doesn't bag his/her game…I've never known it to be a credible legal defense argued by lawyers to avoid prosecution in either a civil or criminal trial explaining why a shooting took place. Furthermore, "buck fever" is not synonymous with a causation of "victim mistaken for game" or the concept known as pre-mature closure, which often best describes accidental shootings. In Cheney's case the victim was suddenly "in the line of fire." It was an accident…pure and simple. Accidents happen to folks whether they're hunting, shopping, walking the dog, crossing the street, etc. But let's not equate Cheney or most other hunting accidents with the phenomenon known as "buck fever." Doing so only shows the opinion writer's blatant ignorance of our sport.
"…most cases of accidental shootings are viewed as reasonable mistakes by hunters and often it is the victim who is blamed for failing to give a hunter a wide berth. Even in the few cases where criminal and civil charges are brought against hunters such as Cheney, they are often tried by a jury of their peers: jurors from communities where hunting and hunting accidents are a way of life."
Sometimes the best facts to substantiate a person's belief are the ones they make up without the inconvenience of fact-checking. My guess is a jury made up of a shooter's hunting peers would likely be more critical of those actions rather than being lenient and sympathetic.
"…In areas ranging from vehicular accidents to corporate misconduct, individuals routinely face criminal charges for reckless conduct. In hunting, however, gross negligence is often refashioned as mere "excitement." Indeed, criminal charges can be downgraded when the killing was done in sport."
And to think people actually believe this stuff…incredible.
"…Cheney's is a classic case of buck fever. There was nothing particularly confusing or unexpected about an individual rejoining a hunting line, as Whittington reportedly did. Rather, it was likely the euphoria of seeking and shooting game that blinded Cheney to the fact that he was aiming at a 78-year-old attorney rather than a six-ounce bird… Given Cheney's heart condition, hunting would seem a poor recreational choice."
Can you believe an editor of a major Oregon newspaper allowed this nonsense to go to print?
"…Cheney's case reflects a troubling de facto immunity given to negligent hunters. Because of our tradition of hunting, we view people who make lethal use of a firearm as less culpable than those who make lethal use of objects like cars."
Is it just me…or is this crap starting to get under your skin a bit, too!
"…At least Whittington knows who shot him. Frequently, the culprits in hunting manslaughter cases are never identified. With the expansion of suburbia, it is increasingly common for people to unwittingly enter a line of fire."
This comment sure says a lot about the capabilities of our law enforcement officials. Quite the contrary, it is a rare case where the shooter is not identified…but, of course, why let those facts get in the way of an otherwise good story.
"…Even in the crowded Washington area, hunters are permitted to hunt game and fowl. Joan Manley, a federal lawyer, was shocked during a morning walk with her dogs on the Potomac River in suburban Alexandria, Va.: Alongside the heavily traveled path that runs next to the river, two hunters sat with loaded shotguns in a boat resting on the shoreline. They were after ducks. Two police officers confirmed they had a proper license and were expected to avoid joggers and bird watchers.
If they had failed, they could have expected no worse punishment than Cheney has received…."
Alright, I think most reasonable people would agree these comments are being made by someone who is terribly confused by reality. Well, guess what…they were made by a nationally recognized law scholar from George Washington University named John Turley. In fact, this opinion piece didn't just appear in the Oregon newspaper that I linked to…nope, these comments were printed originally in The Washington Post and reprinted nationally in any newspaper that wanted to pick up the feature. Isn't it truly wonderful to see trash like this written and our sport smeared by the likes of a law professor from whom you would expect a much more accurate accounting of the truth. I sure would…or perhaps I did.
Nope, instead the Cheney incident only served as a catapult to encourage the likes of the John Turley's of this world to indiscriminately take shots at a sport they know absolutely nothing about. His bio claims he's a gun owner who shoots skeet and clays…so I guess having touched a gun once upon a time makes him some kind of a national expert on the subject of explaining hunting accidents.
Along those same lines…did I mention I bought some thong underwear to give my wife once for a present? Certainly the 10 minutes I spent in Victoria's Secret must qualify me to write in Ladies' Home Journal about the finer points of purchasing lingerie and the upcoming undergarment fashion trends to expect. I've gotta go now…I've got something much more exciting to write about than dwelling any further on this pathetic topic.

Flow diversion for complex middle cerebral artery aneurysms
Neuroradiology. 2014 May;56(5):381-7. doi: 10.1007/s00234-014-1339-x. Epub 2014 Feb 18.

Introduction: This study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of flow diversion for treatment of large and complex middle cerebral artery (MCA) aneurysms.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective review of the clinical charts of all patients who underwent Pipeline Embolization Device (PED) placement for aneurysm at our institution from October 2010 to October 2013. We included ten patients, of which five had large MCA aneurysms and three had giant ones. Fusiform unruptured aneurysms represented seven of all ten aneurysms. Angiographic and clinical follow-up were available for all patients mostly between 7 and 12 months.
Results: We had no technical complications, one periprocedural morbidity, and no mortality. On follow-up, we had no hemorrhagic complications, no aneurysms rupture, and only one clinically significant thromboembolic event in a patient who discontinued antiplatelet therapy against medical advice. One patient had completely occluded his diseased vessel but remained asymptomatic. The overall complication rate is 3/10. On follow-up, complete occlusion occurred in seven patients (7/9).
Conclusion: PED treatment for large, giant, and bifurcation MCA aneurysms was feasible, with satisfying complete occlusion rate, no mortality, and reasonable morbidity rate.

Q: Equivalent of *nix fold in PowerShell Today I had a few hundred items (IDs from SQL query) and needed to paste them into another query to be readable by an analyst.  I needed *nix fold command.  I wanted to take the 300 lines and reformat them as multiple numbers per line seperated by a space.  I would have used fold -w 100 -s.
Similar tools on *nix include fmt and par.
On Windows is there an easy way to do this in PowerShell?  I expected one of the *-Format commandlets to do it, but I couldn't find it.  I'm using PowerShell v4.
See https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/25173/how-can-i-wrap-text-at-a-certain-column-size
# Input Data
# simulate a set of 300 numeric IDs from 100,000 to 150,000
100001..100330 |
    Out-File _sql.txt -Encoding ascii

# I want output like:
# 100001,  100002,  100003,  100004,  100005, ... 100010, 100011
# 100012,  100013,  100014,  100015,  100016, ... 100021, 100021
# each line less than 100 characters.

A: Depending on how big the file is you could read it all into memory, join it with spaces and then split on 100* characters or the next space
(Get-Content C:\Temp\test.txt) -join " " -split '(.{100,}?[ |$])' | Where-Object{$_}

That regex looks for 100 characters then the first space after that. That match is then -split but since the pattern is wrapped in parenthesis the match is returned instead of discarded. The Where removes the empty entries that are created in between the matches.
Small sample to prove theory
@"
134
124
1
225
234
4
34
2
42
342
5
5
2
6
"@.split("`n") -join " "  -split '(.{10,}?[ |$])' | Where-Object{$_}

The above splits on 10 characters where possible. If it cannot the numbers are still preserved. Sample is based on me banging on the keyboard with my head.
134 124 1
225 234 4
34 2 42
342 5 5
2 6

You could then make this into a function to get the simplicity back that you are most likely looking for. It can get better but this isn't really the focus of the answer.
Function Get-Folded{
    Param(
        [string[]]$Strings,
        [int]$Wrap = 50
    )
    $strings  -join " " -split "(.{$wrap,}?[ |$])" | Where-Object{$_}
}

Again with the samples
PS C:\Users\mcameron> Get-Folded -Strings (Get-Content C:\temp\test.txt) -wrap 40
"Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur
adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt
ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim
ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation
... output truncated...

You can see that it was supposed to split on 40 characters but the second line is longer. It split on the next space after 40 to preserve the word.

A: If it's one item per line, and you want to join every 100 items onto a single line separated by a space you could put all the output into a text file then do this:
gc c:\count.txt -readcount 100 | % {$_ -join " "}

A: When I saw this, the first thing that came to my mind was abusing Format-Table to do this, mostly because it knows how to break the lines properly when you specify a width. After coming up with a function, it seems that the other solutions presented are shorter and probably easier to understand, but I figured I'd still go ahead and post this solution anyway:
function fold {
    [CmdletBinding()]
    param(
        [Parameter(ValueFromPipeline)]
        $InputObject,
        [Alias('w')]
        [int] $LineWidth = 100,
        [int] $ElementWidth
    )

    begin {
        $SB = New-Object System.Text.StringBuilder

        if ($ElementWidth) {
            $SBFormatter = "{0,$ElementWidth} "
        }
        else {
            $SBFormatter = "{0} "
        }
    }

    process {
        foreach ($CurrentObject in $InputObject) {
            [void] $SB.AppendFormat($SBFormatter, $CurrentObject)
        }
    }

    end {
        # Format-Table wanted some sort of an object assigned to it, so I
        # picked the first static object that popped in my head:
        ([guid]::Empty | Format-Table -Property @{N="DoesntMatter"; E={$SB.ToString()}; Width = $LineWidth } -Wrap -HideTableHeaders |
            Out-String).Trim("`r`n")
    }
}

Using it gives output like this:
PS C:\> 0..99 | Get-Random -Count 100 | fold

    Out-File _sql.txt -Encoding ascii

gc .\_sql.txt -ReadCount 10 | %{ $_ -join ' ' }

Thanks everyone for the effort and the answers.  I'm really surprised there wasn't a way to do this with Format-Table without the use of [guid]::Empty in Rohn Edward's answer.
My IDs are much more consistent than the example I gave, so Noah's use of gc -ReadCount is by far the simplest solution in this particular data set, but in the future I'd probably use Matt's answer or the answers linked to by Emperor in comments.

Sean Bean's Ex-wife Debra James – Where Is She After Her Divorce From The Actor?
Home » Entertainment » Sean Bean's Ex-wife Debra James – Where Is She After Her Divorce From The Actor?
Published On: January 5, 2022 Soni

Sean Bean's First Wife
Sean Bean's Ex-wife Worked As A Hairdresser
Has Debra James Moved On?
Hailing from Handsworth, Shaun Mark Bean is a talented actor who has a long list of blockbuster films and hit television shows to his name. People best recognize the actor for his character Boromir in the Oscar-winning franchise The Lord of the Rings (LOTR). Moreover, despite only appearing on the show for one season, Sean Bean's role as Eddard Stark in Game of Thrones (GOT) significantly impacted his acting career.
Today, only a few do not recognize Sean, so it is safe to say that he has made an everlasting impact on the acting industry. But, aside from his remarkable career, the LOTR actor has been thrust into the spotlight due to his troubled love life. Sean Bean has married five times, the first with his childhood sweetheart Debra James.
Since parting ways with the veteran actor, Debra has remained out of the spotlight. As a result, many people are unaware of Sean Bean's ex-wife's whereabouts. Today, let's look at this article to find out what the first of Sean Bean's spouses is up to right now.
Sean Bean and Debra James first met in secondary school. The former couple then exchanged wedding vows on 11th April 1981. Sean was 21 at the time he tied the knot with Debra. So we can assume they dated for a while before taking their relationship to the next level.
Sean Bean was only 21 when he married his secondary school lover on 11 April 1981. Image Source: Sean Bean Instagram.
As husband and wife, the ex-partners made several media appearances, where they could be seen holding hands and having a good time. While the former couple had yet to have a child, people assumed it was only a matter of time before they got to hear the news of the pair expecting a baby.
Many also expected their marriage to last a lifetime. Sean and Debra's relationship, however, was not meant to be. Still, we can all agree that it's heartbreaking to see a relationship fall apart and to read about your favorite celebrities' divorce in the news.
So, it is safe to say that their wellwishers were shocked when the pair separated in 1988 after spending eight years together. As Sean Bean's former lover kept her romance away from the limelight, the reason for her split with the actor remains a mystery.

Talking about Debra James' professional life, she worked as a hairdresser when she married Sean Bean. However, it is unknown where she worked or whether she still provides services because of her private way of living.
According to sources, the celebrity wife went on to work as a production manager and producer. Still, there are no credible resources to confirm whether Debra actually served as a production manager and producer.
Nonetheless, she must be leading a comfortable life away from the spotlight. So, we wish Sean Bean's ex-wife the best and hope that she finds success along the way.
Debra James rose to fame out of the blue after her marriage to the GOT actor. The celebrity wife also attended numerous award functions with her then-husband. However, Sean Bean's ex-spouse has kept a low profile ever since the divorce.
Debra has not made any media appearances following her split with the Hollywood star. As a result, her whereabouts at the present moment remain a mystery. Furthermore, Sean's first wife is not particularly active on social media. Therefore, it's unclear whether she went on to marry someone else.
Whether Sean Bean's ex-wife married or not, he has moved on and has married four times, three of which ended in divorce. In addition, he has also fathered three children, Lorna Bean and Molly Bean with Melanie Hill and Evie Natasha Bean with actress Abigail Cruttenden.
Sean currently enjoys a blissful marital life with his wife, Ashley Moore. The pair spend their days in Somerset, where the Hollywood actor gardens during his free time.
A post shared by Ashley Bean (@ashleybeanx)
We hope Debra has moved on as well. But since she keeps her personal life out of the spotlight, we may have to wait a while to determine if Sean Bean's ex-spouse remarried.

We have been living in France for 32 years now, on holidays and while we were in England dreaming of being here!
We bought La Ferme Ancienne in the Cote d'Or in 2005 and commenced the usual renovation project these wonderful old houses require.
Much discussion took place following our purchase and it became very evident that having our holiday home was "n'est pas suffisant" and we wanted to take "Le Plunge" and move out here full time. In May 2006 we arrived.
We all left a great life in England... for an even better one here. Kate and Ashley both worked for a leading UK bank, Kate a member of their Head Office Senior Management team and Ashley a manager within their Mortgage department. Kevin was a pharmaceutical manager with a global company and Lee-Anne a sales and marketing manager within a premium spirit company.
Now, we are all part of BourgogneMaison a successful property management and holiday rental company.
Do have a look at the services BourgogneMaison has to offer...we would love to speak to you and see how we can help.

Justice Department sues freight companies for overcharging government
Published: Dec. 14, 2018 at 3:07 p.m. ET
The Department of Justice filed charges YRC Freight, Roadway Express and Yellow Transportation, alleging the companies systematically overcharged the government for freight carrier services and made false statements to the government that hid their misconduct. The government alleges the firms defrauded the Department of Defense by millions of dollars for shipments that were actually lighter, and thus cheaper, than the weights for which the defendants charged the government. YRC Worldwide said the government's claims are "totally without merit" as it also said Defense Department business represents less than 1% of YRC Freight revenue. YRC Worldwide yrcw shares slumped over 20% on Friday.
These are the Senate races worth tracking, according to the nonpartisan Cook Political Report, as 34 seats in the 100-member chamber are up for grabs this year.

Glancy Prongay & Murray LLP, a Leading Securities Fraud Law Firm, Announces Investigation of Bioventus Inc. (BVS) on Behalf of Investors
LOS ANGELES–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Glancy Prongay & Murray LLP ("GPM"), a leading national shareholder rights law firm, today announced that it has commenced an investigation on behalf of Bioventus Inc. ("Bioventus" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: BVS) investors concerning the Company's possible violations of the federal securities laws.
If you suffered a loss on your Bioventus investments or would like to inquire about potentially pursuing claims to recover your loss under the federal securities laws, you can submit your contact information at www.glancylaw.com/cases/bioventus-inc/.

In February 2021, Bioventus conducted its initial public offering ("IPO"), selling 8 million shares of Class A common stock at $13 per share.
Then, on November 16, 2022, Bioventus issued a press release announcing that it could not timely file its quarterly report for the period ended October 1, 2022. Bioventus was "seeking resolution related to the validity of a revised invoice" regarding "rebate claims [that it received] from a large private payer in relation to our Pain Treatments vertical, which likely will adversely affect the Company's previously announced third quarter 2022 financial results." Moreover, the Company had determined preliminarily that it was required to record a non-cash impairment charge in the range of $185 million to $205 million. As a result, Bioventus disclosed that "its internal controls related to the timely recognition of quarterly rebates were inadequate."
On this news, Bioventus's stock price fell $1.00 per share, or 33.67%, to close at $1.97 per share on November 17, 2022, representing a total decline of 84.85% from the IPO price.

Q: vmplayer 5: can't create VM from vmdk Yesterday I installed VMware player 5.0.2 from bundle file on a ubuntu 12.10 machine.
Then I created a VM containing WinXP Professional, this too went well.
But when I looked for creating a new VM starting from the previous one, I can't find any option on vmplayer library that let me do it.
No custom installation, no option to choose a vmdk to start from, as I read on some docs on internet.
My copy of vmplayer seems to not offer these functions.
I even tried to reinstall everything, running vm-installer -u vmplayer and then deleting the .vmware folder on home dirs.
But after reinstall, something seems to be still persistent : at first run it automatically position the library on the folder where VM are saved.
My question is : Can I use vmplayer 5 to create VMs starting from a previous vmdk ?
If yes, why this option is not available ?

A: VMware player does not allow you to create and edit virtual machines in the generic "player".  That's what Workstation is for.
Alternately, use VirtualBox


Rotman will begin offering MBA students an elective course in Islamic finance next year. If it proves to be successful, it will become a regular part of the Rotman MBA course calendar, among the first courses of its kind in Canada. Toronto's Centennial College will also begin offering instruction in Islamic finance this fall, partly due to interest from one of the Big Five banks in helping their staff speak the same language as clients with different financial backgrounds.
Islamic finance is based in part on the notion that "the simple lending of money is not entitled to earn a profit," according to University of Toronto law professor Mohammed Fadal. But if interest is proscribed, there are other basic instruments — such as credit sales, forward sales, and leases — which allow capital providers to earn a return on their investment.
The potential payoff for a Canadian business class versed in the tenets of Islamic finance is huge. An estimated $1 trillion in Persian Gulf development projects will be sharia financed in the next decade, and Hejazi believes Canada's comparative advantages in construction, energy, utilities and infrastructure should present major opportunities for advancement in the region. An understanding of Islamic finance could also help attract business from that part of the world.
Though still a tiny component of the global financial system — Islamic finance accounts for roughly 0.5% of the world's financial assets, representing some US$850 billion — its proponents claim it's the fastest-growing sector of that system. Cities like London and Kuala Lumpur are making concerted efforts to establish themselves as global sharia finance centres, and Hejazi warns that Canada has ground to make up on the U.K., the U.S. and Australia in the Anglo-Saxon world alone. "Maybe the Canadian banks haven't been as aggressive [in this sector] as they might have been," he says.
Better late than never. Bankers from some of the Big Five are involved in the development of Rotman's new course, and they've enthusiastically taken up Centennial's offering as well. And there's a growing interest, too, in developing Islamic financial products for retail clients. Earlier this year Gowling Lafleur Henderson LLP prepared an emboldening report for the Canada Mortgage Housing Corporation that found that sharia-compliant housing loans could be accommodated under existing Canadian legal and accounting rules. As for the credit card market, Toronto-based Islamic financial institution UM Financial Group will start shipping its iFreedom Mastercard by Aug. 15. Charging no interest, and no monthly or transaction fees, iFreedom will be the country's first sharia-compliant credit card. "On the retail side, with the Muslim community doubling every 10 years, we see a sizable market," says UM Financial CEO Omar Kalair. One thousand customers have already registered for the card, and UM Financial expects to sell out the first batch of 10,000 in their first year. In lieu of interest and consumer user fees, UM makes its end from the transaction fees MasterCard charges vendors every time they complete a credit card transaction. There are 70 million credit cards currently in circulation in Canada, and the average Canadian has two. "Through the marketing we've already done, we know there's a tangible interest in the card," says Kalair. With a Muslim population estimated at just over 800,000 and growing quickly, he thinks his company is well-positioned to capitalize. At home and abroad, it's a market Canada can't afford to ignore.


There was a large turnout at 100% Optical for one of the show's main stage presentations, 'Changing optometry for good' by Specsavers and ophthalmology partner Newmedica.
Giles Edmonds, clinical services director at Specsavers, spoke about the increasing threats to optometry, and what should be done right now by the profession.
Giles was followed on stage by Newmedica managing director Darshak Shah, who spoke about the new models of care that Newmedica is developing to deliver integrated eyecare services for patients and about plans to open more surgical centres across England. He shared how his own experience as an ophthalmology patient had led him to establish Newmedica more than ten years earlier with consultant ophthalmologist Jeremy Diamond in order to 'make eyecare better'.
Finally, Newmedica ophthalmology joint venture partner Nigel Kirkpatrick gave his views on the challenges and opportunities ahead.
'For more than 15 years, important bodies in and around the NHS have been raising the issue of capacity constraints in the NHS and the direct consequence on people's vision,' he said. 'Yet there are still NHS hospitals out there with thousands of patients that they cannot see on time.


Hopefully Courtney will see this. I have been very unhappy with the Steve Madden shoes I bought a couple of months ago. I much prefer his brother, John's, work. So, I am thinking about buying some new shoes on the "internet." They seem to be an alright price, but I am not sure if they will look alright on me. Take a look, and let me know if I should order them. Also, does anyone else worry about how shoes from the "internet" will fit?


Former President George W Bush took part in an hour long chat over a live broadcast with Facebook Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg yesterday.
The Former President, who led the USA for eight years, visited Facebook's headquarters in Palo Alto and spoke to Zuckerberg about his time in the White House, President Obama, Wikileaks and his new book "Decision Points".
Bush also revealed that during his time in the White House he was a "Blackberry person", although said he was now more of an "iPad person".
According to the Press Association, approximately 6,500 people viewed the live steam.


Starting your design practice is the dream of many aspiring architects and designers. Founders ultimately have creative control and a high level of professional flexibility which can be very desirable. Here is your checklist for important considerations when thinking of starting your design practice.

Q: BeginExecuteReader, EndExecuteReader and multiple results I have method that is asynchronously getting results form my database:
internal class CommandAndCallback<TCallback, TError>
{
    public SqlCommand Sql { get; set; }
    public TCallback Callback { get; set; }
    public TError Error { get; set; }
}

public void GetResults(string param, Action<DataTable,DataTable> callback, Action<string> error, Action<string> info)
{
    var conn = new SqlConnection(_connString);
    conn.InfoMessage += delegate(object sender, SqlInfoMessageEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Errors.Count <= 0) return;
        foreach (SqlError message in e.Errors)
        {
            info(message.State + " " + message.Message);
        }
    };
    SqlCommand cmd = conn.CreateCommand();
    cmd.CommandTimeout = 0;
    cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
    cmd.CommandText = @"GetData";
    cmd.Parameters.Add("@param", SqlDbType.NVarChar).Value = param;

    try
    {
        cmd.Connection.Open();
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        error(ex.ToString());
        return;
    }

    var ar = new CommandAndCallback<Action<DataTable,DataTable>, Action<string>> { Callback = callback, Error = error, Sql = cmd };
    cmd.BeginExecuteReader(Krok2_Handler, ar, CommandBehavior.CloseConnection);
}

private static void Krok2_Handler(IAsyncResult result)
{
    var ar = (CommandAndCallback<Action<DataTable,DataTable>, Action<string>>)result.AsyncState;

    if (result.IsCompleted)
    {
        try
        {
            SqlDataReader dr = ar.Sql.EndExecuteReader(result);
            var dt1 = new DataTable();
            var dt2 = new DataTable();
            dt1.Load(dr);
            if (dr.NextResult())//I can't access second table in results
            {
                dt2.Load(dr);
            }
            dr.Close();
            ar.Callback(dt1,dt2);
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            ar.Error(ex.Message);
        }
    }
    else
    {
        ar.Error("Error calling SQL");
    }
}

And I call it like this:
GetResults("Param value, Success, Error, Info);

Everything works fine when my procedure is returning single results, but when I add second select my data reader isn't getting them, probably because when I call EndExecuteReader connection is closing.
How can I modify my code to support multiple results so I can pass them to my callback method?

A: I have tested this and I think the problem is here:
dt1.Load(dr);
if (dr.NextResult())//I can't access second table in results
{
  dt2.Load(dr);
}

From what I can see the the call to Load automatically advances the SqlDataReader to the next record set, so your call to dr.NextResult() will return false.
If you just do this, I think you'll find it works, it did for me:
dt1.Load(dr);
dt2.Load(dr);

EDIT:
 I just checked the source of DataTable.Load and it does call the NextResult method for you:
if (!reader.IsClosed && !reader.NextResult())
{
    reader.Close();
}

EDIT2
When looping SqlDataReader you should use this:
if (result.IsCompleted)
{
    try

Bootstrapper Q&A: City Headshots Founder Martin Bentsen on How to Stand Out From the Pack
Living in New York means you always have options. And while that's a good thing for consumers, it creates challenges for service businesses. If you're a photographer, for example, you have to constantly compete against veteran shooters with established reputations, extensive portfolios, and deep client lists.
So how did a relatively inexperienced NYU student carve out a place as one of the most in-demand headshot photographers in the city? For Martin Bentsen of City Headshots, it came down to two things: Build a good website and always give your customers more than you promised.
That's the short version, at least. To get the full story of how Martin built City Headshots from the ground up, read on for our latest Bootstrapper Q&A.
CREDIBLY: You started City Headshots when you were a student at NYU. How did the idea come to you?
MARTIN BENTSEN: I went to NYU to attend film school, so I was meeting actors all the time. A couple of friends asked me if I could take a headshot for them because they didn't know anybody else who had a camera like mine. I didn't even know what a headshot was, but they sent me a link to a website and said, "Can you take a picture like this?" I took some shots of them and had a lot of fun doing it.
I started shooting headshots for free, and one of my friends said to me, "Did you know that a lot of headshot photographers in New York charge $700-$800 for a one- or two-hour shoot?" I'm like, "Holy crap, that's a lot of money." I was blown away that that you could actually earn that much money doing headshots.
I decided to create a website for my headshots and I bought a slightly upgraded camera with some money that I'd saved up. I put ads on Craigslist, and I would hang flyers on the NYU bulletin boards that said "$25 for headshots.
How many customers were you pulling in at first?
I only got a couple of people every month who would book with me. But I always knew there was a possibility that one day I could show up on Google. So I decided to research search engine optimization, and how you can write blog articles or backlink to your website. There's a ton of free information and articles online about SEO. I just started going crazy trying to get my website up on Google.
I looked at my competition and saw there were no other photographers who seemed to know a lot about marketing, so I was like, "Let me see if I can take advantage of this and get my site to show up ahead of all the other competition." Photographers aren't super business-savvy for the most part — they're usually more artistic. So I decided that if I can get ahead of these people, my headshot photography could turn into a successful business.
It's obvious that your website sets you apart from your competitors. These days, how much of your business is coming directly as a result of that website, and the SEO and the content efforts that you've done?
I'd say 80% to 90% of my clients find me on Google and Yelp because of my search engine efforts — I show up on the first page of Google if you type in "head shot New York" — and then the rest of my customers are referrals, word of mouth, and repeat clients. During the slowest months of the year, we get five to seven calls or new contacts per day, and then during the busy season, 15 to 20 people are calling per day for headshots.
Credibly recently conducted a survey with over 1,400 small business owners, and we learned that just 37.5% of them had websites for their small businesses. A lot of these business owners were only relying on Facebook or other social channels as their web presence. Are they missing out on a huge opportunity?
I believe that if a business doesn't have a website, they're missing out on being taken seriously. To me, it's the same thing as not having a headshot on your LinkedIn profile — you look like a fake profile, or someone who started a profile and never finished it. It's the same thing as not having a website.
If somebody gives me their business card and there's no website listed, it's like, "Okay, how do I find out more about you?" "Go to my Facebook page." What if I don't use Facebook? "Well, email me and I'll tell you about what I do." It's so much easier when you have a website. It's basically like having a 24/7 sales team pitching your work to everybody who comes across your site. They can learn all about you and it's almost free. You don't have to pay anybody to explain anything. It's so useful.

Earlier, you mentioned your "busy season." How is photography a seasonal business?
It's dependent upon hiring season, it's dependent upon pilot season for actors — when they're all trying to get into television shows — and it's also dependent upon medical residency season. Like a lot of other businesses, our summer months are a lot busier than the winter.
Headshots are something that you buy for yourself, and people are less likely to spend money on themselves around the holidays when they're spending money on presents for other people. They're also less likely to book when it's really cold outside, if they want to do an outdoor shoot.
When did you decide to invest in getting your own studio? Did you reach a point where you didn't have enough physical space to keep up with the demands of your business?
There are so many people who start up small businesses and work out of their apartments, and that's great because you can keep costs down. But the downside to that is it doesn't look as professional to your clients, and it makes it harder to maintain that separation between work and personal life.
I researched online and was able to find a good-sized studio. At the time, it was only $2,400 a month, which was affordable for me. Sometimes when you mull things over for too long, you lose opportunities, so I was like, "Let me just get this place. I've been running my business in a surplus, I've never been in debt, and I need to get a space."
When I first got the studio, it was way under capacity — I didn't have enough equipment to fill it. But once we fixed it up, once we put in nice lighting and stuff like that, people started noticing. Rather than thinking, "Nice little place," they're thinking, "Wow, this is an actual professional studio."
Just like having a high-end head shot or having a website, it says to people that you take yourself more seriously. Businesses and clients were much more comfortable referring their friends to me, because they weren't sending people to someone's random apartment.
You give your clients high- and low-res copies of all the photos from their photo shoot within 24 hours and you don't watermark them. That's very unique in this business.
To me, the most important thing is making sure that my clients are blown away when they leave, because they weren't expecting anything like what they got. We have a much nicer studio than people are expecting. Everybody is friendly here. Making coffee drinks is a hobby of mine, so I roast my own coffee beans and make espresso drinks for everyone. Today I made some peppermint mocha lattes, and I did latte art on them while my clients were getting makeup done. We do all these things that people aren't expecting because I'm always in the mind of under-promising and over-delivering.
So you don't feel like you're leaving money on the table by watermarking your photos and forcing your clients to purchase every shot they use?
Honestly, I don't really care that much, even if I'm losing money that way. It's money in the short run. I think it's much more important to get a lot of clients in the door and have people leave blown away so they tell their friends, rather than try to nickel-and-dime people for the smaller things.
Speaking of which, you use a lot of discounts and promotions for your business. Clients can save money by bringing a friend, or tagging your business on Facebook, for example. Do you feel like these discounts and marketing decisions are paying off? How do they affect your bottom line?
I think one of the problems with small business owners is the fact that they're not always open to experimentation. I like to experiment a lot. Fortunately, I'm not running my business in the red — I'm always trying to stay in the black by many thousands of dollars every month — which makes it really easy for us to experiment and take risks.
I like to throw a lot of things at the walls to see what sticks, and sometimes you lose a little money by doing that. But to me, the potential reward is a lot bigger than the cost.
How far down the road are you looking? What are your goals for the future of your business?
Our goal for 2016 is to work with between 5,000 and 10,000 clients. That's a really lofty goal. In the past, we've only had about 1,500 to 2,000 clients in a year. But this year, as we expand to other locations around the United States, we hope to serve a lot more clients. The City Headshots name was trademarked as a national trademark this year.
We're now in the process of putting together the City Headshots Associate Photographer Program, where photographers from different cities and different states can sign up to be a City Headshots associate photographer. We'll be able to use our online web presence and our reputation to drive business to photographers, and they'll be able to take part in our services, from file management to printing and retouching. Our associate photographers can grow their own businesses, and in the process learn about the business practices that have been effective for us.
We'll also be teaching the photographers how to manage themselves during the shoots. There are a lot of photographers who don't know what to do when they encounter clients who are critical about their work; the photographer might get emotional and send them a nasty email or something. We want to make sure they don't make decisions that could hurt their business or get them a bad review online.
I love surprising people. It's like when you're buying a Christmas present for someone, and you come up with something that's just going to blow that person away. I try to do that with clients. When you come in, you're expecting something decent and you get something amazing. That's really fun to me, to see people walking away excited, and that's what I hope we can apply to a much larger audience next year.

Mario Gianluigi Puzo, född 15 oktober 1920 i det s.k. Hell's Kitchen (Clinton) på Manhattan i New York i New York, död 2 juli 1999 i Bay Shore på Long Island i New York, var en amerikansk författare.

Puzo har bland annat skrivit romanen Gudfadern.

Biografi
Mario Puzo växte upp i området Hell's Kitchen i New York i en siciliansk familj. Under andra världskriget tjänstgjorde Puzo inom US Army Air Forces och var stationerad i Östasien och Tyskland. Efter militärtjänstgöringen studerade Puzo vid New School of Social Research, New York och Columbia University, där han tog lektioner i litteratur och skrivande. 1946 gifte han sig med Erika Broske som han fick fem barn med.

Hans första bok, Mörk Arena, gavs ut 1955. Under sitt liv hann Puzo skriva 12 böcker, varav de mest kända var de om den amerikanska maffian. Tillsammans med Francis Ford Coppola skrev Puzo manuset till tre filmer baserade på hans bästsäljare Gudfadern. Filmerna har vunnit flera priser, bland annat en Oscar för bästa manus.

Puzo dog i juli 1999 av en hjärtattack, 78 år gammal, efter att ha färdigställt manuskriptet till sin sista bok Omertá som gavs ut 2000. Sina sista år i livet tillbringade Puzo med att samla material till en bok om familjen Borgia, en av italienska renässansens mäktigaste familjer. Boken vid namn The Family, som aldrig översatts till svenska, färdigställdes senare av kollegan Carol Gino.

Belarus police raid activists' offices, homes, rights groups say
Reuters | Posted: July 14, 2021, 5:55 a.m. | Updated: July 14, 2021, 6:21 p.m. | 2 Min Read
KYIV (Reuters) -Belarusian security police searched offices and homes of lawyers and human rights activists on Wednesday, detaining at least 10 people in a new crackdown on opponents of President Alexander Lukashenko, several rights groups and media said.
Authorities have moved to shut down non-state media outlets and human right groups after mass protests last August against a presidential election the opposition said was rigged.
Police searched offices of at least 14 rights groups, media, NGOs and charity groups, including the human rights organisation, Viasna-96, and the country's oldest political party, Belarusian People Front, the groups said.
Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya, a protest leader who fled Belarus amid a post-election crackdown, said Lukashenko's regime was taking revenge on human rights activists and media.
"The (regime) accomplices have already threatened civil society in response to sanctions - they hope they can feel his power again if everyone in the country is silent," she wrote on Telegram messenger.
British Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab said Britain condemned what he described as an "escalation in repression" in Belarus by the authorities.
"We call for those detained to be released immediately, along with the hundreds of other people detained on political grounds", Raab said in a statement.
Viasna-96 said its leader, Ales Byalyatski, was detained. Tsikhanouskaya said at least 10 people were also detained.
Belarus security officials were unavailable for comment.
The International Federation for Human Rights said in a statement that arrests "form part of a new wave of attacks against Viasna and other Belarus human rights organisations."
The independent Imena media and charity group, which does not consider itself an opposition outlet, said officers had searched its offices, while Nasha Niva newspaper said police had searched the office of Belarusian Helsinki Committee rights group.
Viasna-96, Nasha Niva and Imena gave no reason for the searches.
Viasna-96 is the largest rights body in the former Soviet country and is the main source of information on political detentions and arrests. As of Tuesday evening, 555 people had been recognised as political prisoners in Belarus, it said.
Authorities in Belarus said last week they had blocked Nasha Niva's website. They later said they had detained the editor and three journalists.

Wow, zodra ik haar winkeltje bekeek besefte ik dat het vrijwel onmogelijk zou zijn om maar 1 favoriet te kiezen... Als het dan toch echt moet: Creme Brulee Bride Vintage Locket Necklace. Prachtig vind ik hem, perfecte kleurcombinaties en ik hou van de redelijk 'zware' ketting, zo'n delicaat kettinkje ziet er wel mooi uit maar past meestal niet bij de kleren dat ik draag.

Thank you for the chance to enter your contest!!
So many nice things--I love the Cinderella's Tears. Long necklace--thanks for the chance to win.
what a great giveaway! please count me in.
but they're all so pretty.
Hi, I absolutely loved the riding bicycle necklace. Wonderfully playful and very Cinderellaesque.
en het heeft dezelfde naam als mijn lievelingsschilederij van millais!
It's a toss us between the old antique key, the vintage come and the teary unicorn. So beautifully made.
It's difficult to chose as it is all so refined and special. I have to pick two: the angelic earrings as those plunging drops are difficult to find + the necklase with the little bird. That's too cute!
Also nice to see that the items come from Cedar Rapids Iowa. My sister did a high school exchange in Marion (close to Cedar Rapids).
Wat vreselijk moeilijk om 1 item te kiezen! SnowWhite, dainty little locket is toch wel m'n favoriet..
It's very difficult to choose, they're all so beautiful :) I'll say Riding Bicycle, it's so cute!

There are lots of pretty things in this shop but my favourite is the Green Garden Locket Necklace. lately, I've been obsessed with all things green and this necklace fits in perfect!

In all honesty – Generic Metformin do quite a few of these things – just a bit differently at times maybe. I engage a heck of a lot – but they're not always new people – although they are at times. Generic Ultracet do a lot of thanking (at least more than 10 a day) – especially for RT's and comments – whether to new folks or to ones I already know. Doesn't matter – a thank you to anyone that's done something nice for you is well worth it. But then again – you already know how I feel about that right ?

The method getDirectCallee() can get the callee (be called method/function) of the call expression, but is there any way to get the caller (the method/ function who called it) of the CallExpr* in VisitCallExpr() method?
Are there any other ways to know the caller of one call expression?

A: Better way to deal with this is to use AST matchers.
you can basically look for all callExpr nodes in an AST matcher and bind them and at the same time bind the corresponding caller (CXXRecordDecl) nodes as well with a different string.
For Example:
CallBackFunc callBackFunc;

Matchers.addMatcher(callExpr(isExpansionInMainFile(), callee(), hasAncestor(recordDecl().bind("caller"))).bind("callee"), &callBackFunc);

Then in the callBack function you can retrieve theses callee and caller functions like this:
class CallBackFunc : public MatchFinder::MatchCallBack {
  public:
     virtual void run(const MatcherFinder::MatchResult &Results) {
        auto callee = Results.Nodes.getNodeAs<clang::CallExpr>("callee");
        auto caller = Results.Nodes.getNodeAs<clang::CXXRecordDecl>("caller");

       // Do what is required with callee and caller.
    }
};

(I can give more information if required)

A: My answer might not be perfect but it works.
There is no direct method, which gives you direct caller of the call expression. But if we look at the way AST traverse, while entering into callee function, if we somehow store last visited FunctionDecl name, it will give you the direct caller of that CallExpr*.
Example
string CallerFunc = ""; //declared in class (private/public)
virtual bool VisitFunctionDecl(FunctionDecl *func)
{
    CallerFunc = func->getNameInfo().getName().getAsString();
    return true;
}
virtual bool VisitCallExpr(CallExpr *E)
{
    if (E != NULL){
        QualType q = E->getType();
        const Type *t = q.getTypePtrOrNull();

        if(t != NULL)
        {
            FunctionDecl *func = E->getDirectCallee(); //gives you callee function
            string callee = func->getNameInfo().getName().getAsString();
            cout << callee << " is called by " << CallerFunc;
        }
    }
}

Polish president meets Jordanian king
The situation in the Middle East and economic and security cooperation between Poland and Jordan were discussed by Polish President Andrzej Duda and King Abdullah II of Jordan on Sunday.
The King of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan is on an unofficial visit to Poland.
The meeting of the Polish president and the Jordanian king in Gdańsk (northern Poland) confirmed good bilateral relations, the President's Office reported. Previously the two heads of state met during last year's UN summit in New York.
The President's Office wrote in a statement that Jordan is closely cooperating with the EU and was among NATO's most significant partners.
Earlier in the day, King Abdullah II laid a wreath at the Monument of the Coast Defenders at Westerplatte.
The Battle of Westerplatte marked the beginning of World War II, which broke out on 1 September, 1939 when the German Schleswig-Holstein battleship opened fire on the Polish garrison at Westerplatte.


You can sort of let a novel run through you: the language is loose enough that you don't need to chew on sentences—you can swallow them whole, steadily one by one, and still have a perfectly clear picture of who everyone is and what's going on.
Mathematics textbooks are different. If you churned through even an introductory text at anything close to a novel-y clip, you probably wouldn't be able to solve the most basic exercises. If given an exam on the subject, you'd fail.
That's how you work through a math text—with lots of chewing, and brooding, and musing. You have to play with the stuff in the same way that a programmer might play with another person's code: not by reading it straight through, but rather, by running it on his own machine—exploring each function with a range of inputs, tracing stepwise through the algorithms, exposing data structures with print statements or a debugger, etc., until he becomes so well-versed in the code's architecture and purpose that he could rewrite it himself in a different way.
I've thought a lot about this recently. I read a fair amount, but I'm afraid that too little of it sticks. Even if you asked me to describe an article just after I've read it, there are too many times where I'd hand-wave and stammer my way through a patchy explanation. And part of the problem, I've surmised, is that I take too much on face—I don't engage, or wrestle with, 90% of the sentences that I encounter. Occasionally I'll look up words or Wikipedia entries, sure, but I don't attack most texts in the way I would if I were actually trying to understand them, like if I were preparing to answer hard questions on the subject.
Try to become like the kind of pestering student who slows down classes. Incessantly ask questions and restate what the "teacher" says in your own words. Read at the speed of understanding—don't disengage from the hard stuff just to finish an article. When you start to glaze, or skim, or you feel like you're just sort of scanning over the forms of words, reboot.
Read with a pen. I've perused the books and notebooks of my smart friends, and one thing these people have in common is that (a) they pack their reading with margin-notes and (b) these notes seem to harass the author. They're highly critical, in that they go past just trying to figure out what the author means and ask, "What would that imply? What other theories fit these facts? Isn't this a kind of wishful thinking?…" So every time you highlight a passage or circle a word, think about why you found it important. Rather than writing "yes" or "interesting," think about what led you to agree or how it's interesting. Be contentful, specific, and concrete—all the time.
Imagine actively. Use the phrase "that would mean…" to force yourself to think on your own terms with your own vivid images. It's easier said than done, but I'm convinced that this little trick is what made Feynman such a great explainer. Because everything he ended up teaching to someone else he had already taught himself, that first time he encountered it and tried to translate it into his own words and pictures.
One thing that good philosophers and lawyers are good at is generating counterexamples. For each of your assertions, they seem to be able to conceive of a simple scenario where your thesis doesn't hold. Or if you present a thought experiment, they somehow know which knobs to turn—i.e., which parameters to change—so that it no longer serves your point. I'm not sure how exactly they do this, or what sort of practice one needs to develop the skill, but it can't hurt to constantly throw caveats at the general claims you might encounter in a day's reading.
Be adversarial. For every position you run into—and nearly every blog post, article, paper, or magazine feature takes a side—put yourself in the shoes of someone arguing the opposite. What would their objections be? Would they feel that their position is being represented fairly by the other guy? What in the argument would they be forced to concede, and what would they be inclined to push back on?
Explain stuff. There is no easier way to expose the holes in your own understanding than to try teaching someone else. Or if you really want to go nuts, try writing up the ideas that make you uncomfortable—the process, while painful, will clarify your thinking. The point is to never let ideas cross your mind without being engaged, or debated, or somehow extruded through discourse. When in doubt, hash it out.
As always, an insightful and interesting post. A few things came to mind when reading it. First, a lot of my econ classes in college were mediocre. However, the final seminar was great because we essentially did exactly what you're describing: we read scholarly econ articles and then picked them apart. Does the methodology obscure relevant facts? Are these reasonable conclusions to draw from the results? Probably the single most important question we could ask was, do the assumptions the author sets out hold or are they too unrealistic? Frequently, the initial assumptions were tenuous at best. To take an example from another discipline, in my freshman year English class I had to write an essay analyzing 30 lines (and no more) from Dante's Inferno. The exercise really forced me to look at the text in detail and extract as much information as possible. Or at least that's what should have happened; I don't think I did very well on the paper.
Now, like you and most people, I don't analyze everything I read in such detail. It's simply too time consuming. But, I do think I've gotten better at being an active reader. Doing things like: assessing whether a news article is biased rather than passively accepting facts (of course, the opposite holds true. You don't want to infer biases or connections that aren't there) and making sure that what I'm reading makes basic sense. I think it's surprisingly easy to get caught up in the text and just let it take you places.
The point about taking notes in the margin is one that's been hounded into me since 4th grade English. To my own detriment, I still don't do it.
Great post man. I love this newly coined term as well.
In the past few months, motivated by a similar recognition of my "readerly inadequacy," I have been trying to write on almost everything (of significant length, say, >500 words) that I read, no matter how simple or mundane the material is. I usually write a short summary followed by criticism and commentary, or, if it's for a longer article, I write a summary of each section immediately followed by my own thoughts on that section. Google docs' in-line comment function makes all of this very convenient.
So you may want to consider slapping on "7. Write" to the end of your list. Writing may help you satisfy the other kenjitsu requirements you proposed.
My next step is to review my write-ups – the most interesting ones at least – a week or so after I write them. That should really make them stick; moreover, new insights may strike you upon your second glance.
Great Stuff! Nice to know I wasn't just another silly student asking those annoying questions.
fantastic, this is the very same thing that bothers me right now. i am too suffering from readerly inadequacy. i think what makes those great men is indeed because of this kenjitsu.
The post would be improved if you ditched the "kenjitsu" concept, in my opinion.
1) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenjitsu 2) It's very egocentric and cliche to "coin" your own term for an idea (especially in a foreign language you apparently don't speak well, if at all) which, (again, in my opinion) reflects poorly upon you. That is to say, I feel it's beneath you. There's no need to introduce a cliche term to refer to curiosity.
The first one is for testing whether specific claims are relevant to the author's broader argument. The second one is for testing whether generalizations are supported by evidence.
