We are aware of a girls football team in the Dundee area using the name "Dundee Dragons" but who are in no way affiliated with our charity.
After a number of unsuccessful attempts to communicate with this group, we can only try to make the situation as clear as possible when tagged in social media posts such as this one on our twitter account today.
Dundee Dragons Wheelchair Sports Club was established in Tayside in 2013, securing SCIO Charity Status in 2015.
We provide active Wheelchair Sports Opportunities to people of all ages and abilities from all across Tayside, and the name "Dundee Dragons" is by now synonymous with Disability Sport in the region.
We would ask all our members and supporters to be vigilant of this potential for confusion and to continue to make us aware of postings on social media etc that may mislead, especially in the context of fundraising and charitable donations.


From 1964, he begins producing his most well-known works, such as "Cyborg 009," "Kamen Rider," "Sabu to Ichi Torimono Hikae" and begins to carry his work over to animation and live-action film. Around this time he also begins taking on many other non-manga related projects, and as part of his attempts to push the limits of the medium, made the 'Manga Declaration' in 1989.
Passed away on January 28, 1998 at age 60.
The connection between Ishinomori, born in Tome City, Miyagi Prefecture, and Ishinomaki City, came into being in July 1995, when an interview was held between him and the Ishinomaki City Mayor of the time.
It is said that Ishinomori in his school days rode his bicycle for about three hours to get to the Okada Movie Theater in Nakaze and watch movies there.
The exterior of the Ishinomori Manga Museum was designed to resemble a spaceship.
It was built based on a design by Ishinomori.
These are the words left by Ishinomori while creating architectural models for the museum.
I have made a model of what I think might look good.
A building with a sense of fun; not like the boring official buildings so often built by hard-headed government people.
I know that ship-building played a big part in Ishinomaki's prosperity. Wouldn't it be fun to imagine if a space 'ship' had landed here from Manga planet!?
Take a look at a map of Nakaze Island. It looks just like Manhattan, New York, which as you know was the center of the world economy in the 20th century.
Now, we're in the 21st century, when intangible things will become more important. We're talking about manga, so how about if we make it Mangattan!
Actually, we have already been calling it the 'Mangattan Project' ourselves for two years now (since 1995). I am hoping that in the future, this Mangattan area will become a kind of exciting mini amusement park.
Now, enough about the concept, the most important thing is the content.
Of course I want exhibit my own work, but I'm also hoping that other manga artists will come together to have exhibitions and events here. In that sense, the museum will never be "finished" and will never stop progressing.
And most importantly of all, I want to make it a place to promote Japanese culture (just for the record, I'd like to make it clear that I am not limiting it to manga only) to children and all over the world; somewhere to cultivate human resources and offer opportunities for lifelong learning (Ishinomori was involved with research on lifelong learning together with the current Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology).
Finally, if I could wish for one more thing, it would be good if it could be given a welfare aspect, offering employment opportunities for older people.
To make long story short, I hope for it to be a place where both young children and grandpas and grandmas can come and enjoy themselves. In the future, I would want to join in the fun, since I plan to live in nearby Tashiro Island.
In 1998, Ishinomori passed away at the age of 60.
Just six months before his death, Ishinomori took part in Manga Project events and social gatherings held in Ishinomaki.
After his death, the citizens of Ishinomaki City volunteered to inherit and continue Ishinomori's project and ideas, and by gathering names through petitions and other activities, momentum was built up towards the realization of the Manga Museum.
Finally, Ishinomori Manga Museum opened on July 23, 2001, about six years after the interview.
Ishinomori's plans were realized and community development in Ishinomaki started a new phase, using manga in planning and promoting the medium to a wide audience.
Why 萬画(manga) and not 漫画(manga)?
Ishinomori expressed the word manga using these characters 萬画 as opposed to the more usual 漫画.
This is from The Manga Declaration written by Ishinomori in 1989.
In The Manga Declaration, Ishinomori proposed that, 漫画manga is a form of media with limitless potential, and therefore, it is not 漫画manga but 萬画manga (using the character for countless or many) representing the plurality of ideas.
Therefore, Ishinomori Manga Museum is a Manga Museum with a purpose. Through exhibitions that show Shotaro Ishinomori's works from many perspectives, visitors can experience the limitless possibilities of manga.
In Nakada, Tome City, Miyagi Prefecture, where Manga artist Ishinomori was born, can be found the 'Shotaro Ishinomori Furusato Kinen-kan (Memorial Museum).' Here, visitors can experience Ishinomori's personality through the richness of the surrounding nature, which definitely played a major role in the creation of Ishinomori the manga artist.
By visiting both Ishinomori Manga Museum and Shotaro Ishinomori Memorial Museum, you will be able to gain a deep understanding of the world of Ishinomori the manga artist. When visiting Ishinomori Manga Museum, please take the extra time to also visit the Memorial Museum. It is 50 minute car ride from Manga Museum.
As stated in the contributed article, Manga Museum was named by Ishinomori.
He came up with the idea because the Nakaze Island area, where the Ishinomori Manga Museum was built, has a similar shape to Manhattan.
New York was the center of commerce and finance in the 20th century. Ishinomori hoped that in the 21st century Mangattan would be a center of information dissemination of manga culture.
"Mangattan Appreciation Event" in March.
"Spring Mangattan Festival" during Golden Week in early May.
"Mangattan Culture Festival" on Culture Day, November 3rd.
If you look closely at the Museum logo, you'll see that it is written in English as Ishinomaki Mangattan Museum even though the Japanese is 石ノ森萬画館(Ishinomori Manga Kan). The reason for this is to pay respect to Ishinomori's strong feelings towards the Ishinomaki Nakaze area, where the Museum is located.
The Great East Japan Earthquake, March 11, 2011.
When the Great East Japan Earthquake struck, the tsunami at the museum reached a height of 6.5 meters. The first floor of Ishinomori Manga Museum was completely destroyed, the waves breaking the glass walls and washing all the contents away into the river.
Immediately after the earthquake, staff quickly evacuated visitors and five minutes later, the museum was closed. Fortunately none of the staff or visitors lost their lives. Ten days after the disaster, staff started working together to remove sludge and debris from the museum building and in April, volunteers from all over Japan gathered to continue the cleanup work.
It was a tough time, no-one knowing when the museum would be able to reopen, but day by day messages of encouragement arrived from all over Japan, and about 10,000 messages were written on the plywood placed to block broken glass from the main entrance. These messages became a symbol of reconstruction and finally on November 17th, 1 year and 8 months after the earthquake, the museum reopened.


But as we see some of the unbundling start to occur, it feels as though there is a re-bundling of sorts. That is because, as Foucault would tell you, it is not simply a matter of "revolutionizing" the university and dismantling its "monopoly" on knowledge transfer and credentialing and then BOOM educational access and liberty and justice for all. Power is far more complex than that. As we unbundle assessment from the university, for example, it gets re-bundled with Pearson. As we unbundle the content from the campus classroom, it gets re-bundled with textbook publishers. With MOOCs, power might shift to the learner; it's just as likely that power shifts to the venture capitalists.

Home / Media / NBA general manager believes Bam Adebayo is the best big in the NBA behind Nikola Jokic
NBA general manager believes Bam Adebayo is the best big in the NBA behind Nikola Jokic
By Peter Dewey
One NBA general manager believes that Miami Heat big man Bam Adebayo is the best big man in the NBA behind Denver Nuggets star Nikola Jokic.
"I think he's the best big in the league behind Nikola Jokic because of his athletic versatility, his passing, he can play big or small, and guard on the perimeter," one NBA general manager told HoopsHype. "I'm thinking about the playoffs, not the regular season. He can beat Rudy Gobert down the floor and guard Joel Embiid. He can match up with Giannis Antetokounmpo if the [Milwaukee] Bucks go small. He's good at preventing guys from getting to their spots and taking comfortable shots. I don't know what else you want from your five?"
That's some major praise for Adebayo, as Jokic is the league's reigning MVP.
While Adebayo is out of the lineup for the Heat right now due to a thumb injury, he was off to a strong start in the 2021-22 season before going down.
The University of Kentucky product is averaging 18.7 points, 10.2 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game this season while shooting 51.9 percent from the field.
Adebayo is also the anchor of Miami's defense, and his impact on that end of the floor is certainly what makes him one of the top big men in the NBA.
Jokic is still the class of the NBA at the center position, as he is averaging 25.8 points, 14.2 rebounds and 7.0 assists per game this season. However, Adebayo is already gaining the respect around the league to put him in the same category as Jokic this early in his career.

Miley Cyrus Granted Temporary Restraining Order Against Home Intruder
The pop star has obtained a temporary restraining order against Jason Luis Rivera--the 40-year-old man who was convicted of trespassing at the singer's home.

JORDAN STRAUSS/INVISION/AP
Miley Cyrus, pictured here at the MTV Video Music Awards in Los Angeles, was granted a temporary restraining order against a home intruder.
Miley Cyrus isn't messing around with her safety.
View the documents
According to the restraining order, the former Hannah Montana star asked that Rivera also be ordered to stay away from Wendy and Catlin Green, whom Cyrus describes as family friends. The restraining order request states that Wendi and Catlin were on Cyrus' property on Sept. 8 when "Rivera illegally entered the premises under the delusional belief that he was married to Cyrus."
Back in September, Rivera hopped the fence of Miley's L.A. home and proceeded to wield scissors around her yard. The 19-year-old starlet was not there at the time, but two family friends--who have now been identified as Wendi and Catlin Green--were present and called the police.
All the details on Rivera's arrest
The Greens and Cyrus are asking that Rivera be ordered to stay 1,000 yards away. Even though Rivera has been in jail since his September arrest, Miley wants the order in place in case he is released.
A hearing will take place Nov. 16 to decide whether to extend the temporary order.

No Detection of Chronic Wasting Disease in New York Deer
Published by CWD Alliance on March 28, 2014 March 28, 2014
Testing of more than 2,500 samples of deer statewide found no deer infected with Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD), the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) announced today. CWD continues to pose a threat to New York's wild white-tailed deer as Pennsylvania discovered CWD in both captive white-tailed deer and wild, free-ranging white-tailed deer in 2012. Since 2002, DEC annually has tested hunter-harvested white-tailed deer for CWD. The last confirmed case of CWD in New York was in 2005.
"Under Governor Cuomo's NY Open for Fishing and Hunting Initiative, New York State hunting relies on a healthy deer population and CWD could devastate the state's wild deer herd," said DEC Commissioner Joe Martens. "DEC thanks cooperating hunters, meat processors and taxidermists that contributed samples for testing. Successful CWD surveillance depends on all of us. By testing both sick and healthy-appearing deer, DEC looks to identify the earliest intrusion of CWD into New York."
Public reporting of sick and abnormal deer throughout the year is also important because these animals are collected and tested for CWD. DEC's Wildlife Health Unit conducts full necropsies (animal autopsy) to determine the source of illness or cause of death on many species, including deer.
In 2012, DEC revised the state CWD surveillance program to include information on population density, deer age and sex, and risk factors, including border counties with Pennsylvania. The goal was to collect samples from the highest risk areas. For further details on the initiation and timeline of DEC's CWD surveillance program, visit DEC's website.
Hunters going to Pennsylvania and other CWD-positive states are not permitted to bring back whole carcasses. Prions, the protein that causes CWD, concentrates in tissues like the brain and spinal cord and remain infectious to other deer. It is permitted to bring meat and cleaned skull caps and capes back from a successful hunt. The purpose of this is to prevent the importation of CWD-infected material.
CWD is a fatal disease of deer, elk and moose that is now found in 22 states. It is in the family of diseases known as "transmissible spongiform encephalopathies" or TSEs, which includes "Mad Cow" disease. No human cases of CWD have ever been reported, according to the Federal Centers for Disease Control.
DEC continues to conduct its educational campaign to inform hunters and the public about CWD. Prevention is the only proven management strategy for wildlife diseases. Therefore, hunters are encouraged to protect New York's deer herd by knowing and following the regulations for hunting outside of New York. Deboning meat will remove the highly infectious parts. In addition to carcasses, urine can also contain prions that can infect deer. Avoid using deer urine or choose synthetic alternatives. Prions can bind to soil and remain infectious to wild deer for years.
Governor Cuomo's NY Open for Fishing and Hunting Initiative is an effort to improve recreational activities for sportsmen and sportswomen and to boost tourism opportunities throughout the state. This initiative includes the streamlining of fishing and hunting licensing and reducing license fees, improved access for fishing at various sites across the state and increasing hunting opportunities in various regions. This year, Governor Cuomo unveiled the NYS Adventure License, which allows outdoor enthusiasts, boaters, anglers and hunters to consolidate their recreation licenses and benefits onto their New York State Driver's License, and the NYS Adventure License Plates, featuring nine plate designs available for free to those buying new lifetime hunting, fishing or park licenses in 2014.
In support of this initiative, this year Governor Cuomo has proposed creating 50 new land access projects to connect hunters, anglers, bird watchers and others who enjoy the outdoors to more than 380,000 acres of existing state and easement lands that have gone untapped until now. These 50 new access projects include building new boat launches, installing new hunting blinds and building new trails and parking areas. In addition, the Governor's 2014-15 budget proposes to: include $4 million to repair the state's fish hatcheries; limit the liability of landowners who allow recreational activities on their properties, which could open up vast, untapped resources for additional hunting, fishing and many other recreational pursuits; and allow crossbow hunting once again in New York State.
It is also illegal to feed deer. Concentrating deer at a feed or bait pile concentrates animals and helps spread disease. Report sick deer or deer behaving abnormally to your nearest DEC office. For a listing of regional DEC offices, visit DEC's website.

A magyar egyetemeken, főiskolákon és kutatóintézetekben a hazai szokások és a törvényi szabályozás alapján az oktatói-kutatói pályának – emelkedő hierarchia szerint – az alábbi beosztásait (valójában ezek munkakörök és egyúttal címek) különböztetik meg:

Munkakörök

Oktató

Oktatói munkakörben:
 tanársegéd
 adjunktus
 főiskolai docens, illetve egyetemi docens
 főiskolai tanár, illetve egyetemi tanár

Kutató
Kutatói munkakörben, illetve kutatóintézetekben és egyetemeken levő akadémiai kutatóhelyeken:
 tudományos segédmunkatárs
 tudományos munkatárs vagy tudományos kutató
 tudományos főmunkatárs
 tudományos tanácsadó
 kutatóprofesszor

Az oktatói munkaköri elnevezések (az alábbi kiegészítéssel) egyúttal munkaköri címek is, melyet az adott munkakörben lévő az adott alkalmazás fennállása alatt (annak megszűnéséig) használhat is.

Az egyetemi tanár (és a vonatkozó törvényi szabályozás hatálybalépéséig a cím használatára jogosultságot szerzett főiskolai tanár) jogosult a professzori cím használatára, ameddig a miniszterelnök, illetve a köztársasági elnök a tanári cím használatának jogát nem vonja meg.

Nevek megadásakor előbb általában a tudományos fokozatot, majd a nevet és a beosztást (címet) adják meg (például Dr. X. Y. docens). Kivétel ez alól a professzorok megszólítása: pl. Igen tisztelt Professzor Úr (vagy Asszony)! De szokásos a beszélt nyelvben az X. Y. professzor forma is.

Egyéb beosztások

Léteznek az oktatói-kutatói munkaköröktől eltérő tanári munkakörök is a felsőoktatásban. A leggyakoribb ilyen munkakörök: nyelvtanár, testnevelő tanár, művésztanár, gyakorlati oktató, kollégiumi tanár, mérnöktanár, műszaki tanár.

A nem főállásban alkalmazott oktatók státusza óraadó. Bizonyos esetekben az intézmény szenátusa a következő címeket adományozhatja az óraadóknak:
egyetemi magántanár – ha rendelkezik doktori fokozattal, habilitációs oklevéllel és kiemelkedő nemzetközi szaktekintély,
címzetes főiskolai vagy egyetemi docens, illetve címzetes főiskolai vagy egyetemi tanár – ha doktori fokozattal rendelkezik és országosan elismert szaktekintély,
mesteroktató – ha kiemelkedő gyakorlati oktatói munkát végez, de ehhez nem szükséges még a PhD sem.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pour the olive oil onto 1 half of the sheet and place pumpkin halves, skin side up, on the oiled side of the baking sheet.
Place the apple, skin side down, on the other half of the baking sheet.
Roast for 20 minutes, remove the apple to a plate and roast the pumpkins for 10 more minutes (30 minutes total) or until a fork slides easily into the pumpkin skin and flesh.
Once the pumpkin and apple have cooled enough to touch, scoop out the flesh from the pumpkin and roughly chop ½ of the apple.
Place the chopped apple and 1 cup of the pumpkin flesh into a blender. Purée. Add the water, a little bit at a time, until your desired consistency is reached.

John Shipley: Vikings just continue to figure it out
The Vikings have won games just about every conceivable way this season.
Minnesota Vikings safety Josh Metellus (44) celebrates his blocked punt against the New York Giants in the fourth quarter Saturday, Dec. 24, 2022, at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis. The Vikings beat the Giants, 27-24 on a last-second field goal by Greg Joseph.

MINNEAPOLIS - How crazy has the Minnesota Vikings' season been? These last-minute, last-second, one-score victories are starting to run together even for the players.
After Saturday's 27-24 victory over the New York Giants at U.S. Bank Stadium, right tackle Brian O'Neill was explaining how the Vikings settled on the screen pass to Justin Jefferson that set up Greg Joseph's franchise-record, 61-yard, game-winning field goal when he suddenly asked reporters, "Was it a field goal that we won with last week?"
Yes, after just one week, the details of the Vikings' NFL-record comeback from a 33-point deficit in a 39-36 overtime victory over the Indianapolis Colts had become hazy. Some of them, anyway.
Greg Joseph won that game, too, with a 40-yard field goal as time expired. So, you know, the lines tend to blur. That field goal was set up by a screen pass from Kirk Cousins to Jefferson, which netted 13 yards — just enough to put the game on Joseph's foot.
It was the same play on Saturday, as well. This time it netted 17 yards on third-and-13 and set up Joseph's historic game-winner, the longest field goal in franchise history. For the win.
They weren't the only records set. Wide receiver Justin Jefferson caught 12 passes for 133 yards and a touchdown to set a franchise single-season record with 1,756 receiving yards. T.J. Hockenson set a franchise single-game record for receptions by a tight end with 13, for 109 yards and two touchdowns. And the Vikings' NFL-record 11-0 mark in one-score games continues to grow.
What a season.
John Shipley
The Vikings have won games just about every conceivable way this season, and while it's easy to joke that the only way still missing is convincingly, that's not quite true. It was just so long ago, Sept. 11 to be exact, that Minnesota opened what has been a remarkable season with a 23-7 victory over NFC North archrival Green Bay.
The last 11 wins have been so exciting, so full of twists and turns, that they're hard to keep straight. The easiest part to remember is that they all add up to 12 wins, and an NFC North title, with two games yet to play. The Vikings are 12-3. At what point are they no longer lucky?
"People keep doubting us, but we've got 12 wins," defensive back Josh Metellus said. "So, I don't know what to say, man."
No one knows exactly what to say but maybe the facts are enough. The Vikings are 11-0 in games decided by one score, another NFL record, and during every one of them, they seemed to have run out of mojo. The only close game they have lost — the Vikings were worked over pretty good by Philadelphia and Dallas — was a 34-23 loss at Detroit that got out of hand late.
With Saturday's win, the Vikings have won four of five games by a combined 18 points.
"It's not a cliché anymore," veteran cornerback Patrick Peterson said. "We always find a way to be at our best when our best is required."
It's impossible to say that luck — or fate or whatever you want to call it — hasn't played a role in those 11 wins. Some things out of their control undoubtedly have gone their way.

Bears quarterback Justin Fields had a 51-yard touchdown run called back on an offensive holding call in a 29-22 win on Oct. 9. Bills quarterback Josh Allen fumbled from his own 1-yard line — with a lead, late in the fourth quarter — in a 33-30 overtime win on Nov. 13. On Saturday, Giants receiver Richie James flat-out dropped a first-down pass from Daniel Jones on third-and-5 from the Vikings' 37-yard line, forcing New York to settle for a Graham Gano field goal and a 17-16 deficit.
"Luck is what you make it," linebacker Eric Kendricks said. "You've got to take advantage of it."
"Give them credit," Giants coach Brian Daboll said. "They made a few more plays than we did."
In all of their wins, the Vikings made more big plays than their opponent. On Saturday, it was Metellus blocking a punt to set up a touchdown pass to Jefferson. It was linebacker Brian Asamoah ending a Giants drive in Vikings territory when he stripped the ball from receiver Daniel Bellinger and recovered it. It was Daniel Hunter and D.J Wonnum sacking Jones for minus-3 yards on third-and-9 at the Vikings' 22 to make New York settle for another Gano field goal.
That's not luck.
"My dad always used to say, 'The harder you try, the luckier you get,' " O'Neill said. "I think if we continue to put ourselves in good situations, and play really strong situational football (while) having a mindset that we're going to win no matter what, then we're going to get a couple of bounces here or there."

A special connection: Slack's first year in Germany
Slack looks back at its first year on the German market, which was exceptional in many ways
Autor: Oliver Blüher, Head of Slack Germany16 de noviembre de 2020Ilustración de Robert Samuel Hanson
In October 2019, Slack opened its first German office in Munich. What has happened over the past 12 months? How did we experience the pandemic? What successes have we seen? As the head of Slack Germany, here is my take on the answers to these questions.
Growth in challenging times
It's been almost a year since I was on the road for Slack for the first time at the DMEXCO marketing conference in Cologne. I was standing in line at a sausage stand when a lady tapped me on the shoulder after seeing the Slack badge on my lapel. "Excuse me, you work for Slack?" she asked. "We work with Slack at our company and I love it," she added. As it turned out, she worked for a leading German travel portal. Even though I was new to the company, I already clearly understood that people have a very special connection to Slack.
Since that engagement, and Slack's launch in Germany, we have grown the Munich team to around two dozen employees. Because we closed our offices worldwide and began working totally remotely in March, a significant number of our people were recruited and onboarded virtually. Slack was critical to us at this time, as it allowed us to organize and collaborate effectively while working remotely, with specific channels, including one with automated workflows for the onboarding process.
In addition to growing our local workforce, we have also grown our local business. Germany is now Slack's second largest market in Europe after the United Kingdom. In the first half of 2020, we increased sales by 44% year-over-year. The number of paid customers in Germany increased by 81% year-over-year. Two-thirds of the DAX 30 companies are now Slack customers. Another key growth driver was Slack Connect (previously known as shared channels), with the number of paid customers using Slack Connect almost tripling year-over-year.
We are particularly pleased about this because we significantly expanded Slack Connect over the summer and a Slack Connect channel can now be shared with up to 20 external partners. This allows for collaboration on complex projects to be organized transparently and seamlessly, even across company boundaries. Slack Connect is a perfect expression of our mission: We want to connect the right people, information and tools to make work simpler, more pleasant and more productive.
"We are the glue that holds people together everywhere."
Oliver BlüherHead of Slack Germany
Slack has been there to help during the pandemic
The pandemic has undoubtedly been the dominant topic this year. Suddenly, remote work shifted from something we did rarely or occasionally to something office workers all over the world were doing for the long term. The disruption of work forced organizations to build an infrastructure enabling distributed work.
During this time, we've seen some inspiring success stories that demonstrate the relevance we have for our customers. A private health insurance company, for example, used Slack to move nearly 1,000 employees from the office to working from home within two weeks. Two hundred-year-old Jägermeister, which replaced email with Slack as a change approach, was able to manage its entire operation within Slack in time for the first lockdown. The DAX company Delivery Hero used Slack to create closeness at a time when its employees were dispersed across multiple locations. And Slack brought 43,000 people onto our platform to participate in the hackathon #WirVsVirus, organized by the federal government of Germany, with the goal of developing solutions for challenges presented by the pandemic.
If we compare the months of February and April of this year, i.e., the time before and during the first lockdown, the number of minutes that users of paid customers actively spent on Slack during a typical workday in Germany rose by an average of 47%. We have observed a similar trend all over the world.
With no clear end in sight to the pandemic, Slack employees will continue working remotely, with our offices closed until June 2021. This helps protect the health of our workers and gives them some certainty during an unpredictable time.
In these challenging times, Slack believes it is our responsibility to support companies with their digital transformation and to help them navigate through the inevitable disruption that comes with living through this pandemic. According to Slack's Future Forum, only 12% of employees want to return to the office permanently. This means that companies will have to break new ground and adapt to a hybrid work model that combines both in-office and remote working. We believe asynchronous communication has a key role to play in this new world of work. For instance, if you can't join a team meeting, you could instead post a project update via voice or video message in your team Slack channel. Asynchronous voice and video could offer a whole new level of flexibility for people to work together in their own time instead of at the same time. It could be yet another step toward improving the balance between work and private life.
In a LinkedIn post, an editor of the public broadcaster ARD recently wrote that her 89-year-old father was looking for a way to hold a meeting with his social club. Because of the pandemic, instead of the usual meeting in a pub, her father and other club members decided to use Slack instead. Ultimately it's not about age, but rather the right mindset, to determine whether we can all master digital transformation. We want to support this process and ensure that people in Germany continue to have a special connection to Slack.
If you want to learn more about Slack and the digital transformation of the working world, don't miss Slack Sessions on November 26, which will include Slack clients such as Credit Suisse, Delivery Hero and IBM.

We are so grateful to Amma who welcomed our invitation and to all the volunteers who contributed to the realization of this precious event with their work.
Amma has been dedicating to selfless service for all her life, offering an extraordinary lesson of love and courage, which has inspired many people to engage themselves in humanitarian activities and give their own contribution to make the world a better place.
The realization of every public program with Amma is possible thanks to the totally free work carried out by more than 800 volunteers coming from the most different professional fields and this is indeed the approach that allows to keep the organization costs down, guaranteeing the collected funds to flow directly into the numerous humanitarians projects of Embracing the World.
Immediately after Amma's departure, the volunteers carefully collected even the smallest objects, useful for setting up the next program, and put them in the containers.
Thanks to Amma and to those who donated their work before, during and after the wonderful 2018 event.
The program is free entry thanks to the efforts of volunteers and no remunerated directors.
Combined with an ethic of personal renunciation demonstrated by Amma and kept at all level of the organization, this ensures that the donations and funds collected could arrive directly to the beneficiaries of Embracing the World projects, rather than being dissipated in administrative overloads.
Amma teaches that everyone – rich or poor – has the power to make a difference in another's life and that no selfless gesture is meaningless.
Selfless actions we perform for each other are definetly the way to lead true peace, peace for the individual, peace for the community and peace between different cultures, nations and faiths.
Through her extraordinary acts of love, inner strength and self-sacrifice, Amma has inspired charitable projects in more than 40 countries all over the world.
This global humanitarian movement is constantly growing. More and more people, day by day, are inspired by Amma's example to share their time, energy and resources with those in need – both in their community and the rest of the world.


WOW! The Heartfelt Creations Blossoms and Blooms stamps, dies, and shaping mold create gorgeous life like blossoms easily and quickly. I enjoyed making these blossoms without spending hours shaping all of the petals by hand and they came out so beautiful. If you haven't tried any of the shaping molds yet, they are truly worth the investment. You can make so many beautiful flowers to cover your paper projects without wearing out your hands. They are wonderful if you have a big event coming up where you need many flowers for a tablescape, invitations, or to adorn party favors. Best of all they are just plain fun to use.


The first construction of Skolastikia Bath goes to the 1st century A.D. It was originally a Roman structure. The remains that we see today were from the 4th century A.D. The main architectural style of the modified structure is very similar to the original form. The 4th century renovations and modifications were known to be made by a Christian woman named Skolastikia.
There were three different sections in the bath, as in any other Roman bath, frigidarium (cold bath), tepidarium (warm bath) and caldarium (hot bath).
The bath was located on the famous Curettes Road. There were two entrances; one was from the Curettes Road with three columns still standing and the other one was from a side street which was joining to the Curettes Road perpendicularly. There is a statue of Skolastikia on the front wall standing on a pedestal but the head is missing.
The bath which is placed next to the Traian Fountain is the largest building among the similar baths. It was a three storey building. The third floor did not last till today. The bath sections and the pools were in the bottom floor. The hot sections were heated with hot air and water coming through ceramic pipes, a technique used by the other baths as well. The hot water, steam and the cold water to the different sections of the bath were carried mainly under the floor or inside the walls.
We understand from the remaining inscriptions, there was a love house inside the bath. It was a fairly large size love house with separate women's sections and guests' dining sections.
In most of the building the floors were covered with mosaic and marble.
The use of the bath diminished throughout the middle ages. During the Seljuk and Ottoman periods, the bath was renovated again and put into use.


Campaigns to protect our environment and improve sustainability efforts are numerous and ongoing in the St. Louis area. Host Don Marsh talks with environmental experts about what has been done, what is being done, and what still needs to be done to further protect our planet.
Our guests include representatives from the EarthWays Center of the Missouri Botanical Garden, the Missouri Gateway Chapter of the Green Building Council, and StLouisGreen.com.

Brexit: What are the consequences for European research?
BACK TO RESEARCH WITH IMPACT: FNR HIGHLIGHTS
The United Kingdom is one of the most important research partners in the EU. Scientists are accordingly concerned about Brexit – on both sides of the Channel. In his capacity as FNR Secretary General, Marc Schiltz discusses Brexit's implications for European research.
There are areas where international cooperation at European level is complicated. Science is definitely not one of them. "Research was already globalised before the word globalisation even existed," says Marc Schiltz, Secretary General of the FNR. The lively exchange between European scientists has a long tradition, Marc Schiltz adds. As one of the world's leading research nations, this applies in particular to the United Kingdom. However, the head of the FNR sees this tradition threatened by the imminent Brexit.
Marc Schiltz, the result of the Brexit referendum surprised many – you too?
"Absolutely. On the day of the referendum I had a meeting in Brussels for Science Europe, an association of European research and research funding organisations. Our British colleagues were relatively optimistic that things would turn out well, even if they could be close. It was a bitter surprise for all of us the next day."
Was it foreseeable from the very beginning what this would mean for research?
"I would say that the realisation came in two stages. The day after the referendum, people were already aware that Britain's withdrawal would have an impact and would certainly make European cooperation in research more difficult. But they didn't know what Brexit would look like at the time – and as I speak they still don't really know. However, now there are at least some options – one of them is the hard Brexit, which would certainly be the worst option."
Why would a hard Brexit be so bad for science?
"An essential point would be the end of European Union support. The EU has a very strong support programme, at the core of which is transnational cooperation. Almost all of these grants require that the application be submitted via a consortium of researchers from different countries."
"British research is very well positioned internationally. It has a long tradition and is also strongly supported by the government. In terms of European funding programmes, the United Kingdom is currently the country that receives the largest percentage of European research funding."
So British research would be cut off overnight if it came to a hard Brexit?
"If a hard Brexit were to occur at the end of March, EU funding to the United Kingdom would indeed be stopped immediately. But it is the case that the British Government has set up a guarantee fund. This fund regulates that in such a case the research funds come from national sources. That, however, is at best a temporary solution."
So it is about money?
"It is mainly about international cooperation. Research funding catalyses this cooperation and the development of joint research projects. Saying that we will then be providing financial support is by no means the end of the story. The EU funding programmes as a whole have, in addition to the financial aspect, provided enormous support for inter-European cooperation. Brexit could do away with that. That is an enormous loss for the United Kingdom, but also for us and the other countries of the European Union."
Why does it harm the other countries in the EU?
"Because British research is so strong and we would have to do without it if it came to a hard Brexit. It would not prevent us from continuing to work together, because there are also national funding instruments, such as the FNR here in Luxembourg – we also have a framework agreement with the UKRI, which would remain unaffected. However, the EU's funding programmes are already very important."
Are there no global funding programmes to support joint research between EU countries and the United Kingdom after a Brexit?
"There are, of course, global funding programmes from some institutions, but these are usually very specific. There are also bilateral agreements – we have one with the USA, for example. But to the extent that we receive research funding from the European Union, there is nowhere else.
"EU countries can join forces and apply for a project under the Horizon 2020 European framework programme. The Commission is insists that an exchange should also take place, for example that research should be carried out for a while at an institute in a partner country – that is quite unique in this form."
What role does the United Kingdom play as a research partner for Luxembourg?
"A very important one. We currently have something like 285 projects with Luxembourg participation under the Horizon 2020 programme. And of these 285, 164 are projects in which partners from the United Kingdom are also involved, i.e. more than half. That shows the scale. In terms of the number of scientific publications with Luxembourg participation, the United Kingdom is the third most important research partner for us after France and Germany together with Belgium."
Now, in the financial sector, other European cities are benefiting from Brexit because banks want to emigrate from the United Kingdom, including to Luxembourg. Could this not be similar in the area of research?
"In the financial sector as a whole, the situation is different. In the banking sector, there are a few prime locations in Europe and Luxembourg is one of them. Whereas there are around 4000 universities throughout Europe. And it will probably not be the case that researchers will then switch to three or four preferred locations. Maybe many of these locations will benefit a little, but none of them will really benefit substantially.
"Some British universities are already toying with the idea of opening branches in other EU countries in order to continue to distinguish themselves from the EU's research framework programme.
"Time will tell whether the European Commission will tolerate such a thing. I have my doubts as to whether this is a way forward. Nor do I think that this can be a long-term solution.
"In my view, a good association agreement would be a more sensible solution – as in the case of Switzerland, which is not a member of the EU either. Through this association, it is possible to participate in the research framework programme. That, of course, is what we would all like to see for the United Kingdom. However, that is not being discussed at this stage. With a hard Brexit, I could imagine that nothing would come of it."
So there is still much to be done. Is this uncertainty also felt among researchers?
"Yes, especially on the European level. Our colleagues in the United Kingdom are not optimistic. For them a hard Brexit would be the worst possible outcome. We are also getting enquiries from researchers who want to know what the cooperation will look like. Irrespective of the European framework programme, the FNR has an agreement with the British funding agency UKRI, and that remains unaffected. At least that is where we can reassure people."
"What is most noticeable is the new projects whose applications are now being drawn up in order to submit them for funding. In view of the uncertainty, the question arises again and again to what extent British partners can now still be included in a project."
So research is already slowing down across Europe because of Brexit?
"Absolutely. That is why it is extremely important that the question of association is answered as quickly as possible. But for that to happen, the question of Brexit must first be clarified. In any case, the result of the referendum was a disaster for research. It is a lose-lose situation, nobody wins."

Q: Pass a parameter to a prop that is actually a component? My scenario is that I have a table that is generated based on data. In one of the columns I would like to pass in a 'remove' button/component, which is meant to remove the row that it is in.
 My issue is that the 'remove' button component needs to be given the row so it  can determine which data to remove.
If you look in Table.js, you can see where I render the prop as a component '{col.component}' - But how can I also pass values to the components action?Examples below.

App.js
import React, { Component } from 'react';
import Table from './Table';
import Table from './RemoveButton';

class App extends Component {

  //Data is the array of objects to be placed into the table
  let data = [
  {
    name: 'Sabrina',
    age: '6',
    sex: 'Female',
    breed: 'Staffordshire'
  },
  {
    name: 'Max',
    age: '2',
    sex: 'Male',
    breed: 'Boxer'
  }
  ]

  removeRow = name => {
    //Remove object from data that contains name
  }

  render() {

   //Columns defines table headings and properties to be placed into the body
   let columns = [
   {
      heading: 'Name',
      property: 'name'
   },
   {
      heading: 'Age',
      property: 'age'
   },
   {
      heading: 'Sex',
      property: 'sex'
   },
   {
      heading: 'Breed',
      property: 'breed'
   },
   {
      heading: '',
      component: <RemoveButton action=removeRow()/>
   }
   ]

    return (
      <>

      </>
    );
  }
}

export default App;

RemoveButton.js
import React from 'react';

const RemoveButton = action => {
    return(
        <button onClick={action}>Remove Row</button>
    )
}

export default RemoveButton;

Table.js
const Table = ({ columns, data, propertyAsKey }) =>

{columns.map(col => <th key={`header-${col.heading}`}>{col.heading}	)}

            {data.map(item =>
                <tr key={`${item[propertyAsKey]}-row`}>
                    {columns.map(col => {
                       if(col.component){
                          return( key={`remove-${col.property}`}>{col.component}	)
                       } else {
                           return(<td key={`${item[propertyAsKey]}-${col.property}`}>{item[col.property]}	)
                       }
                    })}

            )}

A: Instead of passing down a component in the column, you could pass down the removeRow function to the Table component as a regular prop, and have another value on the remove column to indicate when you should render the remove button for that column, and pass the item name when you invoke it.

  };

  removeRow = name => {

TORONTO (RNS) Lawmakers in the province of Quebec voted unanimously on Wednesday (Feb. 9) to ban the kirpan, a Sikh ceremonial dagger, from the legislature building.
The opposition Parti Quebecois said it was acting to underscore Quebec's neutrality in dealing with religious groups, while the governing Liberal Party argued that the ban is needed for security reasons.
The vote came a month after four Sikh men who were invited to testify before lawmakers were barred from entering the building because they were carrying kirpans.
Louise Beaudoin, a PQ member of the assembly, said she introduced the motion because two fundamental rights were clashing—the right to religious freedom and the right to security.
"You have choose one of these rights, and in a secular society, you chose to argue in favor of limiting religious rights," Beaudoin told the Globe and Mail newspaper.
Kirpans are permitted in Canada's federal parliament buildings, and one Sikh member of parliament wears his daily.

If you're about to embark on the home-buying process, you want to know how to buy a house the quick and smart way. The process typically takes two to three months, but in a seller's market with low inventory and strong buyer demand, it could take six months to a year—or longer. But what if you could cut that time in half, without having to make any sacrifices? You'd do it, right? Of course you would. Well, you're in luck! Take a look at our recommendations for buying a home the smart way.
If you haven't heard of down payment assistance before, you're not alone. Many people don't know about these programs or assume their loans are more difficult to get than they actually are.
You can see what houses are currently for sale using our search page. To fully stay on top of brand-new listings in your preferred area, however, ask your real estate agent to set up an automated email so that you'll get pinged every time a new listing pops up that fits your needs.
It's often worth the investment, given that foreclosed homes sell for an average 15% below the home's actual value—and foreclosed homes often sell for less than asking price. Also, because there is less competition among home buyers in this sector of the market, you're less likely to go up against other bids when submitting an offer on a home that's in foreclosure.

'Sanctuary: Tempus' – Recap
Posted October 8th, 2011 by Mandi Sisson
Sanctuary is back…with an impact! When we last left Helen Magnus, she had followed Adam Worth through a time portal back to Victorian London, to the year 1898. It's been ten years since the Whitechapel killings and Worth has gone back in attempt to save the life of his daughter. Magnus followed to stop him.
The episode opens with Magnus standing in the middle of a cobblestone street, searching for Worth. Once she regains her bearings, she pulls her gun and takes a few shots at a fleeing Adam Worth, who returns fire in the back alleyways with some sort of laser pistol salvaged from Praxis. You can hear police whistles as Magnus stalks Worth, and then Adam pops out from around a corner, shoots out a section of a brick wall that falls on Magnus, rendering her unconscious. A crowd gathers around her, and the police take her into custody.
After the credits we're taken for a quick view of the Victorian London streets, complete with horse-drawn carriages and ladies in immaculate dress, and then to the interior of Scotland Yard where James Watson is being led through a corridor to a cell door, the occupant of which is one "Doctor Helen Magnus," as Watson corrects the inspector with a smirk. Watson manages to get Magnus out of the cells, along with all of her belongings, and escorts her from Scotland Yard with admonishments as to her manner of dress, that she had brandished a weapon in public and a question as to what she was doing on her own out there. He assumes she's been tracking down "him," her ex, John Druitt – aka Jack the Ripper – on her own, and Magnus slips into character as the Victorian version of herself to try and keep Watson from finding out she's from the future. She apologizes, and Watson insists on checking her out to make sure she's all right, especially after she stumbles right into his arms.
The scene cuts to Worth being dodgy in the dark London streets, complete with evil smirks. One can't help but wonder what he's up to, just in time for the scene to cut back to Watson and Magnus entering the London Sanctuary to find a mountain of crates in the foyer, all sent home from her father who seems to be on a journey of some sort.
Watson is curious, studying her every movement and every word she says, especially after Magnus brushes him off when he attempts to tend to her cuts and scrapes, telling him, "Medicine was always your weak spot."
He quirks an eyebrow at her and asks, "Was?"
Watson is starting to figure it out. He goes over to her sack of belongings and turns it over on top of one of the crates, pulling out each item piece by piece and puzzling over them. Her driver's licence, credit card, a butterfly knife her iPhone – which all but has him entranced when it comes on – and her trusty Browning handgun. He accidentally hits the clip release and it falls onto the crate comically.
Now he knows for certain. She isn't the Magnus from that century, and he wastes no time in calling her out on it. Magnus, realizing he knows, tells him he has to leave, but Watson refuses. He loves puzzles, after all, and he loves Magnus. He's dead set to help her. Magnus starts to explain how she'd gotten there, mentions Druitt's name, which prompts Watson to ask if everyone made it through to the 21st century. Magnus pales and answers, "not everyone."
Watson realizes she's talking about him, and so changes the subject. He sends her off to change her attire to better suit the time period, and she's almost caught out by her younger self from in her bedroom. She changes, and then goes to find Watson burning her things she'd come through the time portal with. He's turning over the iPhone in his hands, contemplating tossing it into the furnace when Magnus comes in and tells him not to even think about burning it. She's now dressed in something a bit more appropriate, even if the dress seems to be made of all leather.
The scene cuts to the past version of Worth tending to his daughter, Imogen, in the hospital, who runs out to the apothecary, leaving our own, current century's version of him to sneak in to see her. He tells Imogen he's found a cure for her condition, but when he goes to pull it out of the case, the jar he'd kept it in has been broken and the contents have leaked out. He'll have to make more.
The scene cuts back to Magnus and Watson in the study at the Sanctuary, where Magnus is loading up for a fight. The past version of Worth comes in seeking Watson's help. His daughter has been stolen. They go back to the infirmary where Imogen had been, where Watson and Magnus come to the conclusion that future-Worth has taken the girl. Magnus tells Watson the past has already been altered by taking his daughter from the infirmary, as Worth didn't approach Magnus and Watson for another two months in the original timeline.
When they leave the infirmary, Magnus all but corners past-Worth and demands answers, interrogating him as to his plans. Worth gives up nothing, and gives up on Magnus and Watson. He leaves, and Watson scolds Magnus, telling her if she keeps on, it will be her who alters the timeline irrevocably. Watson tells her to calm and sends her home to cool off while he keeps on searching out Imogen and the future version of Worth.
Magnus returns home to find the younger version of herself being accosted by a crazed John Druitt, brandishing a razor blade and breaking things as they argue. Our Magnus pulls her gun in the other room, ready to kill him if he lifts a hand to harm her younger self. Druitt intimidates her, telling her the latest killings they've found weren't his doing, and that Watson's theory was wrong. Before he can hurt her, he teleports away…but not before ramming the razor blade into the wall right next to Magnus' head. Past-Magnus leaves the room, obviously shaken, walking right past our Magnus in her escape.
The next act sees Watson entering the lab of the Sanctuary to find our Magnus waiting on him. She tells him of her younger version's encounter with Druitt. He analyzes it of course, and they make plans to corner Worth – whichever version of him it ends up being – at the reform club that evening as Watson has found out that's where one of them will be. Those plans are cut short when the younger version of Magnus finds Watson in the lab and keeps him to analyze the killings again. Our Magnus, then, proceeds onto the club by herself to seek out Worth.
As she is a woman, her attempt at getting in is made difficult, until she makes a scene and Worth comes and grants her entrance. They talk for a moment, and Magnus tells him she will kill him for what he's done. Worth is so blinded to his task that he can't forsee any issues with his plan. He eventually has her kicked out, after she subtly pulls a handgun on him, and Magnus is stopped on the streets by three children, who send her to the scene of another killing. Watson sees her, hiding behind the pillar so her younger self doesn't see her.
The scene cuts back to the Sanctuary where Watson is giving Magnus a talking-to about not disclosing the information he needs to solve the case. Magnus hints at him that an abnormal is behind the killings, and he takes the information for later, then turns his attention to what Magnus is working on – a poison to mimic the blood disease Imogen has been suffering from, in case Worth is successful in curing his daughter. She leaves, telling Watson she's going hunting, and starts stalking Worth through the streets of London, only to herself be accosted by Druitt.
He pulls a knife on her, trying to threaten her into leaving him be, and Magnus pulls out her own skills at butt-kicking, and a nightstick, removes the blade from Druitt and pins him to the wall. She puts the knife to his throat and tells him he is to leave her alone, threatening his life in the process. The moment she backs away from him, he teleports off, and we hear the roar of an abnormal. The camera pans up and we get to see this creature. He's rather hideous looking and Magnus greets him with a "Hello, Jack."
He leaps down from the roof of the building, right in front of her, and they talk. We find out he is the one to blame for these new killings, not Druitt. Magnus begs him to stop the killings and she will guarantee his safety, and he leaps away. Probably as close to a guarantee from him that she will get.
Next, we see Worth and Imogen in a makeshift laboratory where he's trying to finish up the treatment for his daughter. Suddenly, it's so much harder to call him evil, seeing him interact with her. The scene cuts to a rooftop where Watson is approached by past-Magnus. They're investigating another lead for the murders, and finally making headway.
We cut back to Magnus, meeting up with a group of children, the same three from earlier in the episode, to find out where Worth has been hiding. She's sent them to follow him. She pays them for their trouble and she heads up to the room Worth has let, finding him cleaning up his laboratory. Imogen looks immensely better, and Magnus discovers he's already cured the girl. Magnus pulls a gun on Worth, right in front of Imogen, while Worth has one of the Praxis weapons pulled on Magnus.
Magnus is growing desperate. She knows she has to stop Worth before he does anything else to alter the timeline. Worth fires at Magnus before she has a chance to shoot him, and she runs. Worth chases after her, through the alleyways, exchanging fire. From the rooftops, past-Magnus and Watson can see the gunfire's light flares lighting up the darkness, and Watson urges her off of the rooftop.
We go back to find Worth still chasing after Magnus, and she ends up cornered at a gate. Worth tosses a Praxis version of a flashbang up the alley and incapacitates Magnus. He taunts her, orders her to drop her gun, and she does…but she still has Druitt's knife from before. She waits for the right moment and throws it at Worth's leg, hitting him squarely in his thigh. Worth falls, and shoots after her with his Praxis weapon. What he doesn't see is that Imogen has followed them out onto the streets and he shoots again, his shot goes wide, and hits the bricks of another building. The bricks fall directly down on top of Imogen, killing her instantly. Worth falls to his knees beside his daughter, and then stands slowly.
Magnus and Worth both draw their weapons on each other. He tells Magnus he'll kill her for the death of his daughter, and she fires on him with the Praxis weapon before he can pull the trigger, and he crumbles into a pile of dust, indiscernible from the pile of rubble around the girl. Our Magnus looks pained, but backs away, running up the alleys to escape being caught. Shortly after, Watson and past-Magnus, amongst a swell of onlookers come running up, to check on Imogen. Watson posits that the eaves of the building must have fallen on her, but Worth blames Magnus and Watson both.
It seems they've both made an enemy, and Watson is the only one who realizes it.
The next morning, Watson and our Magnus are on the rooftop of a building, talking in secret. She's finally let him in on the secret of "Springheeled Jack," now that he's gone, she apologizes for bringing him into her mess, and Watson tells her it's not to worry. He's plainly excited about how much he'll be able to puzzle out with everything that she's hinted at.
She tells him that, now that they've cleaned up everything to do with Worth and the Praxis technology, the only thing left to tend to is her. Watson jokes that clearly she must kill herself, and Magnus agrees, in all seriousness. Watson scoffs at her, tells her she's being absurd and that she should just close herself away from the rest of the world, and rejoin her timeline just after she'd left it.
"A vacation?" she asks.
"From what I can tell," he returns. "You've rather earned one."
Magnus cuddles up to Watson with a smile, and the episode fades out with them watching the sun rise together.
And really. Yes you have, Magnus. You have more than earned a vacation. TAKE IT.
Next week, Declan Macrae is back! And he's getting dirty! Magnus is MIA, and things have been shaken up in the Sanctuary Network, big time. Be sure to catch the episode next Friday, at 10/9c on Syfy!

Q: How do I enforce fully bytecode compiling? I am using TCL8.6.8.
Here is my experiment:
>cat ~/tmp/1.tcl
proc p {} {
foreach i {a b c} {
    if {$i == "b"} {
        break
    }
    puts $i
}
}

Now I come into tclsh:
% proc disa {file_name} {
    set f [open $file_name r]
    set data [read -nonewline $f]
    close $f
    tcl::unsupported::disassemble script $data
}

% disa ~/tmp/1.tcl
ByteCode 0x0x55cabfc393b0, refCt 1, epoch 17, interp 0x0x55cabfbdd990 (epoch 17)
  Source "proc p {} {\nforeach i {a b c} {\n    if {$i == \"b\"} ..."
  Cmds 1, src 175, inst 11, litObjs 4, aux 0, stkDepth 4, code/src 1.26
  Code 220 = header 168+inst 11+litObj 32+exc 0+aux 0+cmdMap 4
  Commands 1:
      1: pc 0-9, src 0-87
  Command 1: "proc p {} {\nforeach i {a b c} {\n    if {$i == \"b\"} ..."
    (0) push1 0     # "proc"
    (2) push1 1     # "p"
    (4) push1 2     # ""
    (6) push1 3     # "\nforeach i {a b c} {\n    if {$i == \"b..."
    (8) invokeStk1 4
    (10) done

You can see that it is not fully compiled to bytecode in that the nesting script of foreach is taken as literal string.
Now I use tcl::unsupported::disassemble proc instead of tcl::unsupported::disassemble script, I can get a fully bytecode compiled version:
% source ~/tmp/1.tcl

% tcl::unsupported::disassemble proc p
ByteCode 0x0x55cabfc393b0, refCt 1, epoch 17, interp 0x0x55cabfbdd990 (epoch 17)
  Source "\nforeach i {a b c} {\n    if {$i == \"b\"} {\n        ..."
  File "/home/jibin/tmp/1.tcl" Line 1
  Cmds 4, src 76, inst 54, litObjs 4, aux 1, stkDepth 5, code/src 4.21
  Code 320 = header 168+inst 54+litObj 32+exc 28+aux 16+cmdMap 16
  Proc 0x0x55cabfc72820, refCt 1, args 0, compiled locals 1
      slot 0, scalar, "i"
  Exception ranges 1, depth 1:
      0: level 0, loop, pc 7-47, continue 49, break 50
  Commands 4:
      1: pc 0-52, src 1-74        2: pc 7-41, src 25-60
      3: pc 23-36, src 50-54        4: pc 42-47, src 66-72
  Command 1: "foreach i {a b c} {\n    if {$i == \"b\"} {\n        br..."
    (0) push1 0     # "a b c"
    (2) foreach_start 0
        [jumpOffset=-42, vars=[%v0]]
  Command 2: "if {$i == \"b\"} {\n        break\n ..."
    (7) startCommand +34 1  # next cmd at pc 41, 1 cmds start here
    (16) loadScalar1 %v0    # var "i"
    (18) push1 1    # "b"
    (20) eq
    (21) jumpFalse1 +18     # pc 39
  Command 3: "break..."
    (23) startCommand +14 1     # next cmd at pc 37, 1 cmds start here
    (32) jump4 +18  # pc 50
    (37) jump1 +4   # pc 41
    (39) push1 2    # ""
    (41) pop
  Command 4: "puts $i..."
    (42) push1 3    # "puts"
    (44) loadScalar1 %v0    # var "i"
    (46) invokeStk1 2
    (48) pop
    (49) foreach_step
    (50) foreach_end
    (51) push1 2    # ""
    (53) done

Here is my question: Why doesn't tcl::unsupported::disassemble script fully compile the script? foreach command is inside a proc, I'd imagine that the compiling function of proc invokes the compiling function of each command, so the compiling function of foreach command is invoked regardless.

A: Tcl postpones the compilation of a script or procedure until the first time the bytecoded version of the script/procedure is needed. Compilation is fairly fast (and cached carefully, where that makes sense) and the optimizer in 8.6 is lightweight (just killing some of the stupider code sequences that used to be generated), so this isn't typically a big problem. The degree of compilation done for a particular command varies a lot: expr is almost always deeply compiled (if possible!) and proc itself is never compiled; what you're seeing in the disassembly is generic command call compilation (push the words on the stack, call a generic command with that many words, job done). This makes sense because most calls of proc happen once only and only really set things up for interesting things to happen later. The chances of us changing proc itself to gain deep compilation (as opposed to the procedures it creates) are zero, at least for 8.7/9.0 and probably well ahead there. There's just no win possible to justify the work it would take.
However, if you want to trigger procedure compilation early, you can. All it takes is a little triggering…
trace add execution proc leave {apply {{cmdArgs code result op} {
    if {$code == 0} {
        # proc succeeded; it must have been called as: proc name args body
        set procedureName [lindex $cmdArgs 1]
        # Make sure we resolve the procedure name in the right namespace!
        set compTime [lindex [time {
             uplevel 1 [list tcl::unsupported::getbytecode proc $procedureName]
        }] 0]
        # We're done now! Totally optional print of how long it took…
        puts stderr "Compiled $procedure in $compTime µs"
    }
}}}

I think that getbytecode is a little faster than disassemble (it's doing the same general thing but produces machine-readable output) but I might be wrong. You'll need to use disassemble if the code is to be used in 8.5.
