ANC can't control its campaigning
Competition is inevitable and forbidding it does not make it go away FOR the next five years, ANC members will, no doubt, continue to compete with each other for posts. Whether the ANC will admit that this is happening is unclear.
The governing party has released the full text of the resolutions passed at its Mangaung conference. Inevitably, some of them aim to ensure that ANC members no longer tear the organisation apart in their desire to win elections.
But it seems not to have made the most obvious change of all, allowing competition for posts. This would bring contest out in the open so that rules can be enforced which ensure that elections are free and fair.
According to a resolution: "the idea that those wishing to stand for election should be given an organisational platform to campaign was rejected". What this means is unclear. But the ANC leadership still seems eager to control competition. Last week, the ANC convened an event at which academics and commentators (including this one) discussed the Mangaung resolutions with secretary-general Gwede Mantashe.
When Mantashe was asked whether the resolution meant that campaigning was still discouraged, he replied that ANC members had opportunities to lobby for their favoured candidates but that the ANC was not going to imitate American political parties by allowing those who wanted office to campaign freely.
He and other ANC representatives insisted that the movement was not ready for the open campaigning within parties found in some other democracies. This could mean that the ANC is not willing to move away from its approach of last year, when members were told not to discuss leadership succession - and so not to campaign - until very late.
Or it could mean that it has simply rejected the idea that it should provide platforms for candidates to persuade members to vote for them. What is clear is that ANC leaders still believe that it is necessary to restrict competition for posts because free contest might tear the organisation apart.
And that probably means that some of the problems the ANC has faced over the past few years will continue. The argument that allowing free campaigning will damage the ANC ignores a crucial point; that competition happens in the ANC whether it is allowed or not and that seeking to control it is far more damaging than allowing it.
Last year's events surely demonstrated this. In theory, there was no campaigning in the ANC until a few weeks before Mangaung. In practice, the entire year was taken up with campaigning which proved very damaging to the ANC precisely because it was not allowed. Whatever rules may apply within the ANC, we live in a democracy in which media are free.
So ANC politicians who cannot openly campaign for office can use the media to do this for them. Since they can't do this openly, they have to use smears and leaks - to the ANC's cost. One way in which this is done is to leak claims to the media that rivals are corrupt or incompetent or both.
And so most of the scandals we read about ANC politicians come not from its opponents but from its own politicians. The impression that just about everyone in the ANC is corrupt is not only a product of prejudice among those who reject the organisation - it often comes from within the ANC and is a product of rules which force competition underground.
Discouraging open competition also ensures a steady flow of leaks which paint the ANC as a movement racked by internal wars. During much of last year, journalists did not need to attend ANC meetings to write reports portraying it as at war with itself - all they needed to do was read the message on their phones from ANC politicians trying to gain advantage over opponents.
The damage is not restricted to the organisation's public image. It isn't possible to make rules for something you insist should not exist - the use of alcohol by black people during the early apartheid period could not be subjected to rules because it was banned altogether.
And so the ANC has not effectively enforced controls on contest because it refuses to recognise it as a fact of political life. Although campaigning was not allowed in the run up to Mangaung, last year was particularly uncomfortable for the ANC - contests made it difficult to hold provincial nominating meetings and some elections were successfully challenged in court.
Meetings had to be postponed because delegates could not agree that the process of choosing leaders was fair. It may well be that all of this happened not despite the fact that contests were controlled, but because they were. Competition is inevitable in any democratic organisation and so forbidding it does not make it go away - it simply makes sure that it happens in ways which make it more damaging.
ANC leaders seem confident that the sorts of tensions they lived through last year have now gone. Mantashe pointed out that, despite warnings that Mangaung would be derailed by internal contest, it had been largely trouble free.
He also noted that, while only 60% of the organisation supported the leaders elected at Polokwane, 75% backed those chosen at Mangaung. In this view, the problem is over and there is no reason to allow and manage competition because it no longer threatens the organisation.
But the ANC is a governing party in a democracy and so there is very little likelihood that the calm achieved at Mangaung will last long. In 2002, the ANC's Stellenbosch conference was the quietest in its history - virtually no posts were contested. The next conference was Polokwane, at which the contest reached levels not seen for 50 years.
Competition for posts never goes away - it needs to happen in the open so that rules can ensure that it is not damaging. Unless that happens, the calm the ANC experiences today will turn out to be that which settles in just before a storm.

Firstly, a somewhat belated welcome back after the summer break and a welcome to new A-level chemistry students.
I have been working away over the summer on my new project for chemrevise.org which will be a complete detailed e-textbook for A-level Chemistry. This is going to take a long time to complete and I hope to have all complete in time for the new A-level courses starting in September 2015. I have decided to upload the first few 'complete' chapters as I wanted to use them with my current students to try them out. There will be around 50 chapters by the end!
A few things to note. I am making it a general resource for all A-level courses that may also in places go beyond A-level. The intention is to get students thinking about chemistry more deeply! I am aiming it at A* to B students. It will include questions of varying difficulty including extension questions. There will be more use of diagrams and colour than the revision guides.
The revision guides will continue with the syllabus specific information.
These are the first few chapters. For the moment I am mixing these in with the existing powerpoint notes on the page called 'more detailed notes'.
There will eventually be answers to the questions.

Craig City Councilor Arrested on Sex-Related Charges

Police arrested one of Craig's newest city councilors on Friday, October 11, for three sex-related felonies, according to the Craig Press.
The arrest of Brian Paul MacKenzie took place near Denver, shortly after he was caught in an undercover sting operation on October 10.
As part of the operation, a sheriff's investigator was posing as an underage girl named Kylie. Police posted a picture of "Kylie" online, and MacKenzie soon began to message her, starting a line of communication.
The officer, acting as Kylie, told MacKenzie that she was only 14 years old, but he continued to pursue her. After sending multiple explicit messages, the councilman agreed to meet the girl on October 11.
Prior to the meeting, MacKenzie continued to message the undercover investigators, asking for nude photos and describing various sexual acts.
Using information from his cell phone, police arrested him on three felony charges: internet luring of a child, internet sexual exploitation of a child, and a criminal attempt to sexually assault a child.
According to an arrest affidavit filed by the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office, MacKenzie claims that he did not realize he was speaking with an underage girl.
He told police that he knew it was a setup and that he was never going to have sex with her, maintaining his innocence and promising to fight all of the charges.
He was booked into the Jefferson County Jail following his arrest. His next court appearance is scheduled for tomorrow (October 18) at the Jefferson County Courthouse.

'Mom Pawned Jewellery to Fuel My Passion': India's First Fencer To Reach Olympics
Born in a middle-class family in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, Bhavani Devi was introduced to fencing at school but little did she know that an extracurricular activity would help her make history.
This article has been sponsored by Rin.
With the Tokyo Olympics 2021 only a few days away, the country has come together to support all the athletes who are heading for the games to make India proud. The journey for many of them has not been easy with several stories waiting to be told.
This time around, all eyes on Chadalavada Anandha Sundhararaman Bhavani Devi, India's first-ever female fencer to qualify for the Olympics, who has an incredibly heartwarming and inspiring story that is being celebrated by Rin, the detergent brand from the house of Hindustan Unilever in their latest TVC.
CA Bhavani Devi is a shining star that everyone is looking forward to seeing at the Tokyo Olympics because she has made the relatively lesser-known sport of fencing, popular among the youth and synonymous with her name.
Hailing from Tamil Nadu, Bhavani Devi was 11 years old when she discovered her life's purpose.
A student studying in a Chennai-based school then, she had to select one sport as an extracurricular, out of six options. Most of the options were filled by the time she attempted to apply, barring a lesser-known sport called fencing.
Fascinated and motivated to join an extracurricular activity that allowed her to skip classes, Bhavani started fencing in 2004.
Little did she know that this choice would carve a glorious destiny for her, making her the first-ever Indian to qualify for the Tokyo Olympic Games in fencing.
Thanks to her remarkable feat, fencing, the lesser-known sport, is now making a mainstream debut with the entire nation waiting to witness her performance at the Tokyo Olympics scheduled to take place from 23 July to 8 August 2021.
Becoming India's top sabre
A girl born in a middle-class family with several financial constraints, Bhavani had never even heard of fencing before 2004. It was only in school while selecting a sport extracurricular that she was introduced to it.
Who is 13-YO Delhi Girl Anahat Singh, the 1st Indian to Win US Junior Squash Open
When 2 Indians Refused to Play Each Other in All-England Badminton Championship
But even then, it was mostly the fascination of the unknown and an excuse to bunk classes that formed the crux of her initial motivation. A strenuous sport warranting the player's absolute surrender, young Bhavani went into training unaware of the requisite hard work and sacrifice, be it mental, physical or financial. It was only after her first failure in a school competition that Bhavani discovered the fire and passion for the sport and the hunger to be the best rose within her.
Yet this was only her first hurdle. The next and a bigger one was the financial strain. Being the daughter of a priest, her family could not afford letting her train for an expensive sport like fencing. She shares that her first-ever fencing kit cost Rs 6,000 back in the day. However, her mother, a homemaker, was not ready to let her daughter give up on her dream. She pawned her gold jewellery to afford to pay for the fencing gear.
It took Bhavani years of unwavering perseverance and hard work to win the gold back in the form of her first international gold medal in 2014 in the Tuscany Cup, Italy. Later, in 2018 she also became the first Indian to win a gold medal at the Senior Commonwealth Fencing Championship, in Canberra.
Now, the 27-year-old fencing champion specialises in one of its three forms called sabre—epee and foil being the other two—and is training in Italy for the Olympics.
Bhavani's story of struggle and grit has been showcased in the latest Rin TVC campaign #AbWaqtHaiChamakneKa, through a video below:
"Rin has been an integral part of Indian households for over five decades now and has stood for people who are unwilling to be defined by preset roles and have the courage to pursue their dreams, undeterred by their socio-economic backgrounds. Through our latest campaign, 'Ab Waqt hai chamakne ka', we endeavoured to showcase the glorious journey of Bhavani Devi, her mother's sacrifices and their collective success and in the process inspire millions of others to keep persevering in their dreams, despite the odds. The essence of our brand aligns beautifully with such extraordinary stars who have risen from ordinary lives. We salute Bhavani for her dedication and wish her good luck as she prepares to represent India in the Olympics 2021," says Prabha Narasimhan, Executive Director & VP – Home Care, Hindustan Unilever Ltd.

What is the reason of the report? Refusing to fight the hale for multiple rounds.
Demo 2 has some spice near the end.
I have a third demo available, he's doing his jumpyjumps being useless and then his friend asks him to help fight the hale, so he starts shooting.
Player has no regard for the rules whatsoever, and this proves it.
Practicing jumping as sniper while team is good enough to kill hale without my help(Which is A LOT of damage) = breaking rules?
What rule did I broke?
Being friendly removes the point of the game, and could ruin the fun for everyone else.
You are refusing to fight and are actively avoiding the hale, you are being a hinderance to your team as a result of your actions.
The hale dies faster if everyone does their part to help kill him.
Further edit: It doesn't matter if the team is good enough to kill the hale without your input. Everyone must take part in the round. You did not, and were not AFK in spawn or sat in Spectate, so you have no excuse for your actions.
Where exactly I am being friendly?
Where exactly I did refuse to fight?
You joined server - you MUST play it.
Also. When 10 minutes pass - red team wins.
Red team can literally evade hale for whole game and win.
My quote + first sentence: Yes, you must play it. When you connect, you're agreeing to the rules of the server and community.
2nd sentence: Yes, it is logical.
3rd sentence: The AFK's are kicked when an admin observes them AFK for a round, if they reconnect and are AFK again immediately, they're banned.
Fourth and fifth sentences: That doesn't mean you can evade the hale intentionally for the entire round, that's delaying.
2) Surviving for 10 minutes.
If you want to survive for 10 minutes you can either run away constantly(EVADE), like soldiers do their 24/7 0 damage rocket jumps or hide, not drawing attention .
Evading =/= friendly, as it may result in your victory.
So you can't evade enemy team as a hale for whole round to win.
Banned a day. I have spent many many hours in game with Tricky and have never witnessed this behavior. I chatted with him in game, and he because combative suggesting he would just evade the ban. I strongly advised against this.

Q: VB.NET TCP Server/Client - Get IP of connected client I'm trying to get the IP address of the connected client but I don't know what I doing wrong. Where I can find it? I think near Sub AcceptClient. I was trying to convert cClient to string, but it always results to True or False. I'm trying to get the argument ar from cClient, which gives me an empty result.
Client.Client.RemoteEndPoint doesn't work or I can't use it correctly.

Kompakt has shared a full stream of Legende, the most recent offering from longtime label affiliate Matias Aguayo. As we reported back in August, the EP deviates slightly from the percussive, vocal-driven style of Aguayo's earlier material; here, the Berlin-based Chilean producer (who also serves as the head of Cómeme) makes use of lush, dreamy synths and sings in German for the first time. "Legends are memories," Aguayo says of the concept behind the EP, "but memories of a glorified past, that becomes legendary only in our mind, not necessarily in reality."
Officially released earlier this week, Legende can be heard in full below (and will remain available to stream for the next week, according to Kompkat). A recent XLR8R feature with Aguayo—touching on 10 need-to-know facts about the artist—can also be found here.

In February 2017 Knowlex working with NHS Improvement, NHS England and Public Health England brought together over 400 attendees to explore the initiatives announced by Jeremy Hunt and Sir Bruce Keogh in 2016.
"The NHS can rightly be proud that in the last 6 years we've reduced the number of MRSA cases by 57% and C. difficile by 45%. These aren't abstract numbers – they show that we have prevented the needless suffering – sometimes fatal suffering – of over 60,000 people in that period. Because every avoidable infection also has a financial cost, we know that progress has also saved the NHS over half a billion pounds".
"This is a clear plan to achieve real change across the NHS focusing on a combination of strict oversight from the CQC and the collection, publication and intelligent use of data which will ensure organisations improve infection control and help us to make sure poor performers get the support they need to improve quickly"
In February of 2018 we will meet again at the Brewery in London to review progress and results against these new targets and strategies. We will also celebrate local and national successes and identify opportunities within the CQUIN programme.


is already online at the Persian Dutch Network website!
Thank you my dear friend Pejman for adding my life story! I already had over the 800 visitors today… I am thrilled!
So if you know anybody in Mashhad or in the province Khorasan, please do share!
I need all the help in the world… and Persians are everywhere nowadays.

Welcoming the historic achievement in Paris, we reaffirm not only our continuous commitment in our global efforts against climate change, but also our determination to maintain the momentum of COP21 and ensure swift and successful implementation of the Paris Agreement including the long-term aims on mitigation, adaptation, and finance. In this context, we welcome the fact that nearly every party to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) has signed the Paris Agreement, including all G7 members. The G7, continuing to take a leadership role,commits to taking the necessary steps to secure ratification, acceptance or approval of the agreement as soon as possible and calls on all Parties to do so striving for a goal of entry into force in 2016. We commit to take the lead by early, transparent and robust implementation of our nationally determined contributions, and promoting increased ambition over time.
We also commit to actively participate in the regular review of global stock-take progress every five years. We also commit to formulating and communicating mid-century long-term low GHG emission development strategies well ahead of the 2020 deadline, mindful of the significance of holding the increase in the global average temperature to well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels, and of pursuing efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels as well as of achieving a balance between anthropogenic emissions by sources and removals by sinks of GHGs in the second half of the century.
mitigation actions and transparency on implementation, we continue our efforts to provide and mobilize increased climate finance from public and private sources. We encourage other countries to provide or continue to provide and mobilize climate finance, to assist developing countries with respect to mitigation and adaptation and to implement their national climate plans (NDCs). We welcome the commitments made by MDBs and development finance institutions to deliver increased levels of climate finance. We call on MDBs and development financial institutions to mainstream climate change actions across development strategies and use to the fullest extent possible their balance sheets and their capacity to mobilize private financing and other partners in support of country-led programs to meet this goal.
that innovation is critical for an effective, long-term global response to our shared climate challenge,and intend to play a leading role in Mission Innovation. We also welcome the leadership of the private sector community in this regard. We recognize the important role of providing incentives for emission reduction activities, including tools such as domestic policies and carbon pricing.
We welcome the establishment of the Carbon Market Platform and its first strategic dialogue to be held in Tokyo. Recognizing the urgent need for effective efforts in the field of international aviation, we express our strong commitment to work together for the adoption of a Global Market-Based Measure (GMBM) in order to enable carbon neutral growth from 2020, through engaging constructive dialogue, by reaching a decision at the 39th session of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Assembly. We encourage all world leaders to join us in supporting a decision later this year.We also recognize the importance of mitigating emissions of short-lived climate pollutants including black carbon, hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), and methane to help slow the rate of near-term warming.In particular, we resolve to drive down our methane emissions and further recognize the importance of adopting domestic measures.


Deliberately trying to run the battery down.
Discussion in 'iPad' started by Thomas Davie, Mar 22, 2012.
I kept my iPad (3) at or above 95% battery Friday until Sunday. At that point I started trying to run the battery dowwn to 0, and then charge/time to charge to 100%. I've brought it to work every day, and let people play with it (knowing that they would probably try lots of Youtube, open lots of apps and leave all of those apps open). I would use it at lunch hours mainly to surf and listen to music.
Today however I bought and installed AirVideo, turned off wifi, and have been streaming over 3g/4g. About 4 hours and finally I'm down to about 6% battery with 5 minutes left to go in a movie.
After it charges back up to 100% (overnight I guess, since I have beer to drink now), I'll remote desktop into my iMac before I go to work tomorrow and start a big video playlist and monitor time till shutdown.
I'm very impressed with the battery in this.
I can see deliberately killing the battery once to. Calibrate (I did this too) but multiple times? For what?
Really simple; if I push the iPad really hard, once or twice at the beginning, I can get an idea of what to expect in my real world usage.
Brightness at 100 with continual use, and it'll go down to 0 in 5 to 6 hours. Use anything around 50 and you will get the stated 10 hours.
Having to push it really hard to kill it really isn't demonstrating "real world" usage is it?
You should also note that a) Killing modern batteries, in general, shortens their lifespan. The Li Ion batteries, unlike the old Ni Cads, like to be charged. And b) New batteries usually need a couple of weeks to build up to full strength, which is why I generally charge them quite a bit the first week or so, though not overly much. In other words, the battery will be at its strongest after it's broken in, not right out of the box.
Not sure how this applies to iPad batteries, but it seems to have held true with my iPad 1. And, as already pointed out, you can't possibly gauge "real world usage" by using it in "unreal world" ways.

The mode of passion is characterized by the attraction between man and woman. Woman has attraction for man, and man has attraction for woman. This is called the mode of passion. And when the mode of passion is increased, one develops the hankering for material enjoyment. He wants to enjoy sense gratification. For sense gratification, a man in the mode of passion wants some honor in society, or in the nation, and he wants to have a happy family, with nice children, wife and house. These are the products of the mode of passion. As long as one is hankering after these things, he has to work very hard. Therefore it is clearly stated here that he becomes associated with the fruits of his activities and thus becomes bound by such activities. In order to please his wife, children and society and to keep up his prestige, one has to work. Therefore, the whole material world is more or less in the mode of passion. Modern civilization is considered to be advanced in the standard of the mode of passion. Formerly, the advanced condition was considered to be in the mode of goodness. If there is no liberation for those in the mode of goodness, what to speak of those who are entangled in the mode of passion?
Know that raja guna consists of attachment (ragatmakam). When one does not obtain ones desired objects, one develops desire (trsna), and when one obtains one objects, one develops attachment (sanga). Raja guna gives rise to these two. Raja guna binds up the soul (dehinam) by attachment (sangena) to actions, in quest of present and future goals. Attachment to action arises by desire and attachment (trsna and sanga).
14.7 Rajas is of the nature of passion, namely, it causes sexual desire. 'Passion' (Raga) is mutual yearning between a man and a woman. 'Springing from thirst and attachment' means it is the source of sensuality and attachment. 'Trsna', (thirst, sensuality) is the longing for all sense-objects, such as sound etc. 'Sanga' (attachment) is the inordinate longing for union with one's sons, friends and such other relations. By creating longing for actions, it binds the embodied self. Whatever actions have been begun by the self from longiing for sensual enjoyments, they become the cause of births in bodies that constitute the means for experiencing such enjoyments. Therefore Rajas binds the embodied self through attachment to actions. What is said is this: Rajas is the cause of sexuality, sensuality and attachment, and of constant engagement in actions.
14.7 Viddhi, know; rajas to be ragatmakam, of the nature of passion (-raga is derived in the sense of that which colours-), having the property of colouring, like the ochre pigment etc.; trsna-asanga-samud-bhavam, born of hankering and attachment-hankering is the longing for things not acquired; attachment is the clining-of the nature of fondness-of the mind to things in possession. O son of Kunti, tat, that, that rajas; nibadhnati, binds; dehinam, the embodied one; karma-sangena, through attachment to actions. Deep involvement in actions related to seen or unseen objects is karmasangah. Rajas binds through that.
14.6-8 Tatra etc. upto Bharata. The Sattva is dirtless. [Source of craving-attachment] : that from which the attachment of craving springs up. Negligence : wasting the human birth which is difficult to get, but got by means of hundreds of merits accumulated for a very long period, and which is the sole means for attaining emancipation. That has been also said- 'Not even a single moment of life is gained by (spending] all the gems. [Hence], he, who wastes it, is a man of negligence and is the lowest of men'. Laziness : i.e., in doing good deeds. Sleep : being poor totally i.e. a contemptible course.
rajaḥ — the mode of passion; rāga-ātmakam — born of desire or lust; viddhi — know; tṛṣṇā — with hankering; sańga — association; samudbhavam — produced of; tat — that; nibadhnāti — binds; kaunteya — O son of Kuntī; karma-sańgena — by association with fruitive activity; dehinam — the embodied.

Signal tower gets face lift
Amy Trapini
While students were home relaxing over the winter break, the Student Center tower for cellular phone and radio antennas got a replacement, one that was much needed, an upgrade 35 years in the making.
The tower, initially constructed in 1968 to enhance the signal for the campus radio station, WQAQ, was in need of a new, improved model.
Since 1980, the facilities department has been making and managing repairs on this tower.
In 1995, when New Haven was host to the International World Special Olympics, SNET added a cellular site on the tower to help facilitate transmission of some of the events held here at Quinnipiac University.
The site was added at the request of the company.
An additional cellular site was added to the tower in 1998.
Due to the major increase in the use of cellular phones, not only by students but by all members of the Quinnipiac and Hamden communities, additional cellular sites could not be continually added to the existing tower, as it was not constructed to support many additional antennas.
In the summer of 2002, the University and the facilities department began considering the replacement of the tower, due to cellular service failure for the students and due to the wear and tear the initial tower received for over 35 years.
Cingular proposed a flagpole-like structure to hold additional cellular sites.
This new and improved tower was put up on Dec. 20-21, 2003 and now contains four cellular antenna sites, all of which belong to Cingular.
"The newly improved cell tower is in place to increase the cellular phone service to all members of the Quinnipiac community," Keith Woodward, associate director of Facilities said. "With the additional tower sites, service has improved dramatically not only on campus, but on surrounding areas as well. In the past, when traveling down Mt. Carmel Avenue, I would lose service and now service is uninterrupted."
The flagpole-like structure extends 80 feet from the roof of the Student Center.
Although it does enhance the cellular phone signal, it does not affect the signal for WQAQ.
That signal and the capabilities of the tower for use by the radio station remain the same as in the original tower.
This tower has the ability, unlike the original tower, to expand, add on and support additional cellular sites as they become needed in the future.

                </telerik:RadComboBox>

I have to get the LotNo of the selected Item. I have tried GetSelectedItem / getselected value. but no selection of the specific column.

A: Set OnDataBound event
telerik:RadComboBox ID="drpEmployeeItemID" OnDataBound="drpEmployeeItemID_DataBound"

Define handler
protected void drpEmployeeItemID_DataBound(object sender, RadComboBoxItemEventArgs e)
{
   e.Item.Text = ((DataRowView)e.Item.DataItem)["ItemName"].ToString() ;
   e.Item.Value = ((DataRowView)e.Item.DataItem)["LotNo"].ToString();

   // set attributes
   e.Item.Attributes["ColorName"] = dataItem["ColorName"];
   e.Item.Attributes["StyleName"] = dataItem["StyleName"];
   ...
}

Use the text and value in the butto
var itemName = drpEmployeeItemID.Text;
var value = drpEmployeeItemID.SelectedValue;

// get item
var item = drpEmployeeItemID.FindItemByValue(value);
var colorName = item.Attributes["ColorName"];

Edited
There is now way to get original DataItem after data bound. If you want to add more properties to an item, you can use Attributes collection to store them.
Another way is to save your original datasource in the session and find data item by selected value.


Google's approach with Chrome is different. Rather than removing features from existing web browsers, Google has taken its brightly colored forearm and swept the table absolutely clean. Forget about menu separators; why even have a bookmarks menu? Hell, why have a menu bar at all? Start with nothing. Assume nothing. Add features only as needed, and only in service of a well-defined design concept.
It happened to me; it could happen to you. I hope it does, because the future of e-books has been a long time coming. I just hope it gets here soon.

Schutz, B. F. (2001). Gravitational Radiation. In P. Murdin (Ed.), Encyclopedia of Astronomy and Astrophysics (pp. 1030-1042). Bristol, Philadelphia, London u.a.: Institute of Physics Publishing / Nature Publishing Group.
Abstract: Gravity is one of the fundamental forces of Nature, and it is the dominant force in most astronomical systems. In common with all other phenomena, gravity must obey the principles of special relativity. In particular, gravitational forces must not be transmitted or communicated faster than light. This means that when the gravitational field of an object changes, the changes ripple outwards through space and take a finite time to reach other objects. These ripples are called gravitational radiation or gravitational waves. This article gives a brief introduction to the physics of gravitational radiation, including technical material suitable for non-specialist scientists.


A pretty amazing encounter was kindly sent to TUS by a reader who would like to remain anonymous. As unbelievable as their experience was, the description doesn't feel even remotely hoax-y. While the witness was driving, they noticed a bright diamond-shaped object hovering over... "7 little people."
I was about 5 miles north of Wolfe City on FM 68. I was driving over a bridge and saw a large light to my left. I knew something was wrong because there is nothing there but the river and farmland. I was going too fast to recognize what it was but I slowed down and backed up to see it. It was above the ground but very low & in the shape of a diamond. A soft bright light was along the edge and underneath. It illuminated the ground below. It was very bright but soft at the same time. There were 7 like little people walking around on the ground underneath it. That's all I can say here.
I'll let you know if I get any more details on this amazing event, but in the meantime let me know if you have any to share!

Background To evaluate strategies for cervical cancer screening among HIV-positive African women, against histological CIN endpoints.
Abstract P5.009 Table 1
Prevalence of CIN2+, and performance of screening tests singly or in combination by CD4+ count among HIV-positive women in Burkina Faso and South Africa
MethodsThe HARP study enrolled HIV-positive women aged 25–50 in Burkina Faso (BF) and South Africa (SA). A stratified sampling strategy was used, with 2/3 of women on ART. Three cervical cancer screening methods were evaluated; (1) visual inspection (VIA/VILI); (2) high-risk HPV DNA (HC-2); (3) conventional cytology. Four-quadrant cervical biopsies were obtained among women with abnormalities detected by at least one test or by colposcopy.
Results 1252 women were enrolled (628 in BF; 624 in SA). The distribution of CD4 count (cells/µL) was similar in both sites: 68% with CD4+ ≥ 350 and 10% with CD4 < 200. Prevalence of high risk (HR)-HPV was 43% in BF and 61% in SA, and decreased with increasing CD4+ count (P-trend < 0.001). VIA/VILI positivity was 24% in BF and 41% in SA (P < 0.001) but did not vary by CD4 count (P-trend = 0.30). Prevalence of abnormal cytology (≥LSIL & ≥HSIL) was higher in SA (89% & 30%) than in BF (24% & 5%). 62% and 97% women were biopsied in BF and SA respectively, with CIN2+ prevalence of 6% and 29%, respectively (155 of 949 evaluated women thus far). CIN2+ prevalence decreased with increasing CD4+ (Table). Sensitivity of the single screening methods to detect CIN-2 decreased with increasing CD4+ count, whilst specificity tended to increase with increased CD4+ count (Table). Overall, HR-HPV DNA was the most sensitive test (94%) and HSIL+ cytology the most specific (90%). Further analyses with combination of tests did not show much improvement on performance.
Conclusions Cervical cancer screening tests among HIV-positive women are most sensitive among women with CD4+ count below 200 cells/µL. Screening strategies may vary according to CD4+ count but this will need to be evaluated prospectively.

Radiation-Resistant Mutants at Chernobyl Pave the Way for Life on Mars
Radiotrophic beer is involved.
by Becky Ferreira
May 7 2017, 8:18pm
Comic book logic dictates that a high dose of radiation will turn you in the Hulk, Godzilla, Radioactive Man, or any number of other radiation-induced superbeings. In real life, it's more likely to be a cause of deleterious mutations than a shortcut to enhanced abilities, as shown by major ecological damage in nuclear meltdown fallout zones, like Chernobyl and Fukushima.
These contaminated regions have become a popular destination for scientists interested in the immediate and long-term impact of radiation on wildlife, which has led to the formation of intriguing niche disciplines, like radioecology and radiobiology.
Watch more on Motherboard in 360/VR: Nuclear From Above
Understanding how living organisms adapt to radiation doses has a range of applications, from medicine to conservation, but one of the most overlooked is preparation for long-duration human space missions and interplanetary colonization, both of which involve sustained exposure to higher radiation doses than what we experience on Earth's surface.
An experiment conducted on the International Space Station (ISS) last year examined this idea with the help of eight fungi species sourced from the Chernobyl exclusion zone. These strains sprung up in the wake of the 1986 meltdown, and two of them— Cladosporium moulds—seem to prefer radioactive surfaces. The fungal samples were curated by a team led by Kasthuri Venkateswaran, a senior research scientist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, who goes by Venkat for short.

"The radiation seen at Chernobyl is high, but this black fungi popped up first [after the meltdown] compared even to the bacteria," Venkat told me over the phone. "That is how we selected those fungi, from such a radiation-rich environment. These fungi persisted due to some sort of protein-coding and biomolecule information that protect against the radiation level."

My husband and I live near NYC, and we are looking for somewhere to take a short (4-5 day) break for our anniversary in May. We are considering Reykjavik because the flight is so short (relatively), but the reviews seem to be mixed. We like museums (in moderation), walking, shopping and general sightseeing. We have been to hot springs here in the US and enjoyed that experience, so we were thinking we could go to the Blue Lagoon one of the days. Any thoughts on Reykjavik as a fun place to go for a few days? Is it worth the time and airfare ($675 US in May).? Thanks for any input!
Definitely worth the time and airfare in my opinion and is perfect for a short break.
Reykjavik is a perfect size to explore on foot (plenty of bars, shops and restaurants to visit), the museums and galleries are also on a fairly small scale, so easy to visit for your cultural fix and the people are really friendly.
There are lots of really well organised tours/day trips to see the sights outside of Reykjavik and I can guarantee you'll see a variety of things you'll get nowhere else 4-5 hours away from NYC.
A friend went to Iceland and loved it. I saw a recent travel show about it and it was totally fascinating. Have you checked Icelandic airlines for fare? That seems a bit much, but of course, fares are up everywhere. We flew Icelandic to Europe years ago and had a small (hours) layover in Reyjavik--tailored for shopping in their duty free store.
Thanks Jay_G and Gretchen for your replies. Sounds like Reykjavik would be a good place to go for a few days. Gretchen - believe it or not, Icelandair is the only airline that flies JFK-KEF in May (the other airlines start flying in June). I think that is why they can charge $675!
My husband went for 4 days in November with a group of friends and they all loved it. As mentioned, plenty of scope to go on day trips and see some of the sites outside the city if you have 4 days.
When looking for accommodation you will spot that it gets more expensive as you go West towards the central square. There aer plenty of buses and within the city there are extra spas. I would recommend that you find rooms close to at least one city spa. These are healthy fun places to be and you will enjoy the culture.
You won't regret going to Iceland! The natural beauty is stunning! If not renting a car, you might want to look into a tour with Reykjavek Excusions - they have tours from 1/2 day to much longer, including a trip to Greenland (weather conditions may come into play on this one) (www.re.is) Try not to miss a stop at Gullfoss Falls (this will be a stop on their Golden Circle day trip). The airport bus into the city is about a 45 minute ride. As Jay_G mentioned, Reykjavik is very walkable and offered a lot of shops (perfect to pick up a sweater or gloves) and restaurants. We visited a few years ago in June and I recall how cool and windy it was. It will never get completely dark, but rather will stay dusk like even in the early morning hours. There were darkening shades on the hotel windows!
You have a lovely anniversary trip to look forward to! ENJOY!
Thank you all again for your advice! Sounds like are headed north!

Cop: I was Punished For Not Stopping Enough Blacks, Hispanics
by Rachel Stockman | 9:05 pm, January 11th, 2016
There is nothing better than a recording to prove your point. And that is exactly what this New York City police officer says he has. 44-year-old Michael Birch, says back in 2011, he secretly recorded a conversation with his commanding officer in which his boss told him he was not stopping enough black and Hispanic teens, according to an exclusive report by the New York Daily News. He filed a complaint with the U.S. Equal Opportunity Commission, and also filed a complaint with NYPD's Office of Equal Employment Opportunity.
Here is the gist of what happened. His supervisor believed that most of the crimes being committed in the subway transit system were by black and hispanic teens, and Birch wasn't making the grade because his arrests were of whites, and women. Birch tried to tell his boss that almost half the people you see jumping turnstiles are women.
Besides the pretty persuasive argument that the supervisor is racially profiling himself, Birch will have some major hurdles to jump through to win this one. He does have one thing going for him: He is lucky that he made the recording in New York, which generally allows you to record your boss without their consent (take note).
BUT—and this is the BIGGEST problem with his case—the NYPD, as well as all cities, counties, and states, are subject to 'sovereign immunity.' That basically means that governments are IMMUNE from criminal or civil prosecution. There's an exception: if you can provide evidence that the state, or in this case the NYPD, was engaged in a "pattern or practice of discrimination." So unless Mr. Birch can prove that these comments went beyond just one conversation with his boss—and that black officers were systimatically punished for not stopping blacks or Hispanics—his case may bef doomed.
