Company directors may be headed for litigation over climate change
Sustainability Economics 01 Oct 2019
By Dr John Purcell
The Commonwealth Climate Law Initiative is investigating how company directors may be drawn into climate change-related litigation.
A significant challenge in reducing global carbon emissions is the fact that neither national laws nor international public law are designed to address problems that have global reach.
Projects such as the CCLI demonstrate adaptations to national laws and innovations to international law, while encouraging company directors to take account of climate change risk.
According to the CCLI's project report, Australian directors face the greatest potential liability from the impact of climate change on their businesses.
The impact of climate change and marshalling global efforts towards emissions reduction present profound challenges. Neither national laws nor international public law are designed to comprehensively address problems that are interconnected and have global reach.
However, there are developments that illustrate adaptations in national laws, and novel innovations are being suggested in international law. These developments occur separately from international treaty arrangements under the United Nations Paris Agreement, where national governments commit to implementing domestic policies to reduce carbon emissions.
The Financial Stability Board's Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) provides one of the most readily understandable summations of climate-related risks. There are two major categories: risks related to the physical impact of climate change, and risks related to a transition to a low-carbon economy.
Transition risk can occur from legal action brought by claimants seeking redress or wanting to force protective or remedial action. The TCFD says this could stem from "the failure of organisations to mitigate the impacts of climate change, failure to adapt to climate change, and insufficiency of disclosures around material financial risk".
How realistic then is litigation risk to companies and their directors?
The Commonwealth Climate and Law Initiative (CCLI), a research project focusing on Australia, Canada, South Africa and the United Kingdom, examines the basis for directors and trustees to take account of physical climate change risk and societal responses to climate change. Each of these countries has common law legal systems where judicial decision plays a key role in interpreting statutes and in building legal rules based on an evolving body of precedent.
The CCLI's project report concludes that Australian directors face the greatest potential liability from the impact of climate change on their businesses.
The "adaptability" of corporate law, and in particular directors' duties, within the common law tradition provides a sound and practical basis for linking climate-related financial risks with possible governance failures that spanning well-established legal expectations around identification, assessment, oversight and disclosure.
The CCLI's project report concludes that Australian directors face the greatest potential liability from the impact of climate change on their businesses.
However, fundamental to each jurisdiction are two broad categories of directors' duties, which the CCLI summarises as:
Duties of trust and loyalty, including good faith, proper purposes and best interests (fiduciary).
Duties of competence and attentiveness (due care and diligence).
Of the four countries, Australia is the most stringent in interpreting and applying these duties:
The duty of care and diligence can be breached in circumstances of "mere" negligence.
There is a particularly strong adherence to an objective standard of what a "reasonable director" would do.
There is minimal scope to argue "business judgement rule" protection.
Proof of dishonesty, intention or bad faith is not required for breaches of trust and loyalty.
In these terms, managing climate-related risk falls squarely within well-understood legal expectations of active and inquiring engagement in guiding and managing the affairs of a company – matters that the CCLI says are self-evident given that Australia's economy operates in high-risk sectors from both physical risk and transition risk perspectives.
Australia is also a well-established litigation funding market. It has a strong track record of class actions for misleading disclosures and an independent regulator willing to test the boundaries of directors' duties and enforce existing well-understood duties relating to disclosure.

What of the more speculative realm of developments in international public law?
The International Criminal Court, which is created under Article 5 of the Rome Statute (another treaty to which Australia is a signatory), has specific and narrow jurisdiction limited to the most serious crimes recognised by the international community, including genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes.
Limited but strong lobbying is taking place to amend the Rome Statute to include an international crime of ecocide, defined as "the extensive loss or damage or destruction of ecosystem(s) of a given territory, whether by human agency or by other causes, to such an extent that peaceful enjoyment by the inhabitants ... has been or will be severely diminished".
The CCLI cautions against overstating the practical likelihood of litigation, but also warns against dismissing the risk as remote or theoretical, particularly for those companies in high-risk sectors. Whether or not the advocates of ecocide succeed in their endeavours, the fact that the prospect is being canvassed adds to what should be self-evident to directors: the physical and economic transition risk realities associated with climate change.

I have a ProLiant DL380 G3 with Smart Array 5i. I setup a single disk as RAID 0 and in my OS began to use the raw device (unpartitioned). Everything was fine between reboots and so on, until I put the disk in another server (identical model) and added the disk in Smart Array 5i exactly as I had in the first server. However I was very shocked to discover in my OS that the first 1MiB of the disk had been wiped to zeros!
Why did this happen? Is there a way to stop it?
I consider myself lucky that I was able to recover all my data. I find it quite shocking that Smart Array 5i didn't give me any warning but just went ahead and blanked the first 62 sectors of my disk (and considering it's all 0x00's, there seems to be no purpose to this). It worries me that RAID controller would just start overwriting raw disks. Not all disk uses require partitioning.
Any thoughts on why this is the case?
If I'm reading your message properly, when you moved the disk to the other system, you went into ACU and added the disk.
When moving disks between systems, the Smart Array will recognise the array settings on the disk automatically. If the array controller didn't see that the drive had already been created as an array, the likely cause was the second server had older controller firmware. If you had to "create" the array in the 2nd system you effectively wiped out what was on the disk.
The ACU was pressing F8 from the BIOS, just to clarify. This is where I set it up.
It didn't wipe the whole disk, just the first 1MiB also just to clarify.
As I was using the whole raw disk there won't have been any information on the disk to identify to the subsequent Smart Array 5i devices how the disk was configured. Is this what it tries to store in the first 1MiB that got wiped when I set it up again on the second server?
If so, how come it was just entirely blank 0x00's and contained no actual signature or data of any kind?
Is there a way to use a disk in my ProLiant as just a raw disk without having to use RAID. Can Linux access the raw disk even if a logical volume hasn't been setup in Smart Array 5i?
Smart Array controllers write the RAID configuration information to what is know as the "RIS" (RAID Information Sector) area on the disk. The controller reads this information at every boot. The information stored here allows you to replace a failed controller, or to move the drives to another Smart Array equiped system.
"P" series Smart Array controllers only provide RAID functionality, there is no pass through mode. The closest you can come to presenting a raw disk is just to create an 1 disk array with 1 logical drive, basically create a bunch of single array JBOD devices.
The "B" series controllers can be set to RAID mode, or plain SATA mode in the BIOS. Some of the older "100 series" ProLiant servers also had a BIOS setting for RAID or plain SATA. This group of controllers requires a closed source driver that is only available for Windows, Red Hat and SUSE when used in RAID mode.

10 hidden gems from CES 2016
Onagofly is a lightweight (140 grams), palm-sized quadcopter with some features that you won't find in other drones that cost five times as much.Hitesh Raj Bhagat | ET Bureau | Updated: January 13, 2016, 09:12 IST
BOOGIE BOARD
While the Boogie Board itself is not new, the company showcased a couple of new designs. In case you're unfamiliar, Boogie Board makes digital writing pads — you can hang them up anywhere (like on a fridge) and write/draw/scribble on them. The slate is wiped clean at the press of a button and they can be re-used hundreds and thousands of times — drastically reducing paper use in homes and offices.
These two new designs (Scribble n' Play & Jot 4.5) are aimed at the children in the house. The Scribble n' Play has, for the first time, a display that shows colour. It has four large, easy-to-grip writing/drawing 'pens' clipped onto the four corners. The smaller Jot 4.5 has a translucent screen and comes with a bunch of flash cards that can be inserted in a slot behind the screen — to help kids learn simple subjects.
Using a smartphone while on two wheels is a lot riskier than while driving. Smarthalo is a device that can convert any bicycle into a smartcycle. It clamps into the handlebar and can show you useful information like driving directions or notify you of incoming calls/SMS using a ring of multicolour LEDs.
It is meant to be left on the bike permanently (except while charging) and the company says that the military – grade locking mechanism prevents theft. The SmartHalo app will guide you around and send the appropriate signal to the device to show you where to turn. It can also remind you where you parked your bike, track your fitness/distance and export data to third-party apps like Strava, Apple Health Kit or Google Fitness. As if that wasn't enough, it has motion activated anti-theft and white LEDs to light the way ahead..
There's a solid reason why action cameras are so popular: they're rugged, have a wide field of view and help you document/share your adventures. GoPro has a majority of the premium market in the bag but there's one thing they're missing: 360 degree video. Panoramic video itself is not new and there are also dual 180-degree lens cameras like the Ricoh Theta that can capture panoramic video.
360 Fly is a single camera that can capture 360-degree video with a single lens. It can be used as a standalone camera (on a tripod, selfie stick or in your hand) or mounted on a helmet, handlebar or vehicle. It's waterproof without needing a housing and has built in WiFi + Bluetooth. You can use the app on your phone to preview live video, edit video and share. It weighs only 138 grams and the built in rechargeable battery is good for about 2 hours of use.
FLAP IT
You may have heard of split-flap displays or at least seen one without knowing what it was called. Before LED signage and full colour displays became common, these 'flipping' displays were often sighted at airports and train stations, displaying names, destinations and time tables. In essence, the display is mechanical and it uses a rolling set of flaps to form letters and numbers. Flapit is a split-flap display that is built to better connect a small business to its customers. The device itself is solidly built yet charmingly retro. It is wireless – so you can control it using a webapp on a computer or mobile device. It weighs about 3kg, is 58cm wide, can be placed anywhere for maximum visibility and is the first physical counter that is preconnected to all major social media platforms (Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Instagram etc).
You can use it to display a live view of how many Facebook likes your page have, how many Twitter followers, YouTube views and so on. The company suggests using it in brick and mortar retailers, hotels, coffee shops, restaurants and offices. The flap designs can also be customised to your business.
PETBOT
The makers of this gadget call it the first smartphone for pets – and that it has 'petificial intelligence'! While that may be an exaggeration, it's a pretty cool device nonetheless. It's designed for people who regularly leave pets at home while they're away at work. Thanks to the built in camera, speaker and mic, you can check in on your pets remotely and even speak to them.
Pets can also send you video selfies while you're at work – this action is triggered by a bark or a meow. It also has a container for little treats that you can dispense for training. Finally, if your pet gets anxious without you around, you can upload and play soothing music/sounds on the PetBot speaker. If you're afraid that your pet might destroy PetBot, it can also be mounted on a wall. It connects via WiFi and you need to get the free iOS/Android app to start using the device.
Virtual reality and Augmented Reality were buzzwords at CES 2016. If you've experienced a VR headset (even something like Google Cardboard), you'll know that it has the potential to digitally transport you away. But what if you want more control over your VR experience? One way is to use a joystick, mouse or keyboard — but it's not the most intuitive. French company 3D Rudder says that in going digital, we lost the use of our feet. This circular board has sensitive, built in gyroscopes and pressure sensors. It is intended to be used while seated and has a USB interface for maximum compatibility. Place your feet on it and it precisely detects movement (forward, backward, strafe left/right, rotation) or up/down if you alternate pressing down with heel/toes.
Some of the applications include your own virtual tours, real estate showcase, gaming, 3D design/CAD and machine control (while your hands remain free to do other things).
At its most basic, CineMood is a portable video projector designed for children. After seeing this adorable, palm-sized device in action, it's clear that it fills a void when it comes to entertainment and parent-child interaction.
Firstly, CineMood can turn any flat, white surface into a personal cinema. It has built in speakers and a battery that can power the device for up to 2 hours at a time. It can store your own curated list of cartoons or AV storybooks for your child to view at leisure. It is also cloud connected and wireless — you can get content from CineMood that is pre-filtered by age. As a parent, you can get the iOS/Android app and quickly send a video message directly to the projector, even from a remote location. The LED projection system is not too bright, doesn't get hot (it uses passive cooling rather than fans) and can be used in any orientation.
ONAGOFLY
Drones don't need to be very large, complicated or expensive. Take for example, the Indiegogo-funded Onagofly (which we have featured before in a spotlight). This is a lightweight (140 grams), palm-sized quadcopter with some features that you won't find in other drones that cost five times as much. For instance, it has an infrared collision avoidance system — emitters and receivers on all four sides help it avoid obstacles like trees, pillars and wall while it automatically follows you around. The built in camera can record 1080p HD video or capture 15MP still images.
With the remote control app on your phone or tablet, you can connect to the drone's WiFi signal to see a live feed from the camera. You can also control navigation, switch on/off the auto follow mode and instantly save photos/videos to your mobile device. It has a battery life of about 15 minutes.
The smartphone is a major distraction for a lot of people. You'll often hear of it being banned on the dinner table or people getting into fights over excessive use. The Glance Clock is a clever invention that helps you reduce smartphone use. In a way, you could compare it to a smartwatch, since it delivers notifications (who's calling, SMS, alerts) and fitness data – except that it's hung on your wall. Since it's publicly viewable, it can also connect to smarthome devices and web services that can provide info for groups of people.
Inside the Glance Clock are two banks of multi-colour LEDs: one group that encircles the clock face and one group that forms a rectangular, scrolling LED display. There's a free mobile app that helps you set up all your notifications and the beautiful animations (and sound) will catch your eye and deliver info to you at a glance.
The landline has pretty much disappeared from many homes. Many parents also like to limit the time that their children have with digital devices. However, communication between children and parents (or grandparents) can suffer as a result. The solution is the ILY Family phone, made by US-based company Insensi. It's an always-on, always connected (Ethernet or WiFi) phone with multiple speakers, a large colour display and detachable wireless handset. It may look like a tablet that's tacked on to a phone but it is actually purpose built for AV communication only. The parents can get the free app on their mobile phone to call the ILY and voice/video chat with their kids. Or the device could be placed with grandparents who may not be tech-savvy — using it is as easy as tapping the picture of the person on it.

Can You Guess the Exact Sex and the City Scene This Shoe Is From? See Sarah Jessica Parker's Photo
After Sarah Jessica Parker shared a photo of an "unearthed" Manolo Blahnik heel from Sex and the City, many fans immediately knew the episode it was from. Scroll on to see if you can guess.

Watch: Sarah Jessica Parker Confirms No Samantha Replacement
Sarah Jessica Parker has fans reliving one of the most iconic scenes in Sex and the City history.
On May 24, the Emmy winner—who is currently in production on HBO Max's revival series And Just Like That—took to Instagram to post a photo of an "unearthed" wardrobe item: A chewed up turquoise Manolo Blahnik heel. And fans instantly knew which scene it was from.
"Are these the shoes Pete ruined????" one fan asked, to which SJP replied, "yes!!! Man you guys are good!!! X."
The scene they're referring to is from the season four episode "The Good Fight," in which Carrie (Parker) and Aidan (John Corbett) got into an argument over the clutter in her apartment after he moved in. During their tense wardrobe cleanout, she discovered Aidan's dog Pete had taken a bite out of her expensive heels.
"That dog owes me $380!" Carrie famously declared. "You can't buy it, it's circa 1996!"
Looking Back on Sarah Jessica Parker's Most Iconic Fashion Moments
After seeing all the love the post received—including comments from co-stars Kristin Davis and Willie Garson—SJP couldn't help but gush over the support from fans. "I just cannot get over how much everyone knows and recalls," she commented. "It astounds and touches me. Deeply! X."
A post shared by SJP (@sarahjessicaparker)
She also noted, "PS they have been in archive all these past years. Seeing them again.... Well. X."
Parker recently revealed that the revival series had kicked off production, just a few months after the reboot was announced. In January, stars Parker, Davis and Cynthia Nixon confirmed they're returning for the 10-episode revival, which, according to a description for the show, will "follow Carrie, Miranda and Charlotte as they navigate the journey from the complicated reality of life and friendship in their 30s to the even more complicated reality of life and friendship in their 50s."
And while we won't be seeing Kim Cattrall in the reboot, fans might catch a glimpse of Corbett's character.

"I'm going to do the show," he told Page Six in April. "I think I might be in quite a few."

2019 League Meeting is April 18, 5:30 in the Liberty Tavern. Please send at least one representative from your team to the meeting.
GROSS SKINS are available weekly for $2. Sign in and pay at the desk each week.
Best Ball format will be played with two player teams playing head to head matches. Best Ball is played as each player playing his own ball through the hole. The lowest net score (with handicap) of the two is the "team score" for the hole.
WHITE tees. (70+ have option to play SILVER and Ladies have the option to play RED).
You may roll the ball with the club head a maximum of 6" in your own fairway no closer to the hole. The ball should be played "down" as you find it everywhere else.
Handicap will be figured at 70% of your 9 hole handicap and will automatically adjust weekly based on your score.
Subs/Makeup- We use nightly Subs, not makeup matches. Subs must have already subbed in the league this season to play anytime after July 11. League members are not eligible to sub during tournament. Members are responsible for their sub's applicable nightly fees. NO SHOW teams will be given a score of double bogey for each hole. All players who show up or get a sub (besides their partner playing for them), will receive 1 extra point per match.
There will be a weekly closest to the pin contest.
Scoring: 20 Point Scoring consists of 2 points for each hole and 2 points for the total score.
Conceding the Hole: "Gimme" Putts are okay "Takee" putts are not okay. Double Par will be the max score allowed on any one hole.
Pre-playing is allowed on same side of competition, $7 for 9 holes.
Two players (partners) play a match against two other players. In a best ball format, each player on a team plays their ball from where it ends up (no "best shot" or picking up and moving the ball to another location). It can be viewed as each player playing a typical round of golf, with their own score for each hole. The team score for each hole is the lowest score by any one player (subtracting any stroke adjustments for handicap.) As an example, a team of 2 players score 5 and 5 on a hole. Let's say one of the players gets a handicap adjustment on that hole of 1 stroke. The team score for this hole would be a 4 because the player's score was 5 less 1 stroke adjustment. The team score for each hole is compared with one team winning each hole or "halving" the hole if there is a tie. The team winning the most holes wins the match.
Handicaps are applied beginning on the most difficult holes on the golf course. That is determined on the scorecard where each hole is ranked with 1 being the most difficult and 18 being the easiest ranking. Let's say one player has a 3 handcap and another has a 1 handicap. The 3 handicapper would get a stroke on each of the three most difficult holes and the 1 handicapper would only get a stroke on the most difficult hole. These strokes are subtracted from the players actual score on any given hole to determine their net score for that hole. The lowest net score from one team is compared to the lowest net score from the other team.

Big Guns Face Heat as India Meet Bangladesh in Must-win 2nd ODI
By Evan Massoud Massoud Last updated Dec 7, 2022
Mirpur, Dec 6: Trying to pick up pieces after a demoralising defeat, India's decorated top-order will be desperate to change the narrative and give a better account of itself against slow bowling in the do-or-die second ODI against Bangladesh here on Wednesday.
Having failed to take the last wicket when Bangladesh needed more than 50 runs, Indian bowlers could not deliver but there is no denying the fact that a star-studded batting line-up needs to show more responsibility.

The last time India played a bilateral series in Bangladesh was back in 2015 when under Mahendra Singh Dhoni, the team lost the three-match series 1-2 and the only win came in the dead third rubber.
History could repeat itself at the Sher-e-Bangla Stadium if spinners Shakib Al Hasan and Mehidy Hasan Miraj can once again keep the Indian batters under wraps between overs 11-40.
That was the real period of struggle for all Indian batters, save KL Rahul (73 off 70 balls) who was the best player on show in the opening game.
FIFA World Cup 2022 Points Table | FIFA World Cup 2022 Schedule | FIFA World Cup 2022 Results | FIFA World Cup 2022 Golden Boot
While there are still 10 months left for the ODI World Cup, it is not yet clear what exactly will be Indian team's approach.
The talks around adopting a "fearless approach" has been going on for some time but its implementation has only been sporadic. At times, adapting to conditions and reacting to situations has got more prominence.
The track at Mirpur wasn't exactly a batting beauty but it also didn't warrant a score of 186.
The erstwhile selection committee's decision to rest both Shubman Gill and Sanju Samson for this series has been equally baffling.
The logic given by the former chairman of selectors Chetan Sharma was that due to a short turnaround from New Zealand, they have picked a fresh bunch of players for the series.
Gill wasn't a part of T20 World Cup and also didn't play the T20 series in New Zealand (he was part of the squad though) and hence leaving him out was baffling.
One of the problems with the Indian top order players is that they are accelerating the run-rate but at the same time consuming way more dot deliveries than they should.
In the match against Bangladesh, dot balls worth more than 25 overs were consumed even as they batted for less than 42 overs.

If the eight overs that they couldn't bat is taken into account, the team missed out on scoring off almost 200 balls.
In modern-day cricket, when England is changing the rules of engagement across formats in every sense, the Indian team is taking one step forward and four backwards.
The idea of handing the gloves to KL Rahul wasn't about increasing flexibility in the team but to ensure that both Rahul and Dhawan could be fitted in the same playing XI, going into the World Cup.
Samson, one of the most flamboyant players, wasn't even picked for this series and Ishan Kishan, who scored a 93 in his last ODI series, despite being a specialist keeper-batter was benched.
Rajat Patidar and Rahul Tripathi in the brief period they have been picked in the Indian team have been travellers and it is still not clear how the team management plans to test these youngsters before pruning the list to may be 18-20.
The tough calls haven't yet been taken by coach Rahul Dravid and captain Rohit Sharma and it doesn't look like it will be taken any time soon.
Teams India: Rohit Sharma (captain), KL Rahul (vice-captain and wk), Shikhar Dhawan, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, Ishan Kishan (wk), Shahbaz Ahmed, Axar Patel, Deepak Chahar, Mohammed Siraj, Kuldeep Sen, Shardul Thakur, Umran Malik, Washington Sundar, Rahul Tripathi, Rajat Patidiar.
Bangladesh: Litton Kumer Das, Anamul Hague Bijoy, Shakib Al Hasan, Mushfiqur Rahim, Afif Hossain, Yasir All Chowdhury, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Mustafizur Rahman, Taskin Ahmed, Hasan Mahmud, Ebadot Hossain Chowdhury, Nasum Ahmed, Mahmud Ullah, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Quazi Nurul Hasan Sohan, Shoriful Islam.

The Youth Leadership Initiative's E-Congress is an interactive on-line simulation that helps students understand the complexities of the legislative process, as an innovative resource for classroom teachers. Participation in YLI E‑Congress is open and free to middle and high school civics teachers. Throughout the simulation, students play the part of a member of the U.S. House of Representatives. To be successful, they must research contemporary issues, draft original legislation, debate its merits during committee sessions, and work to move their bill to the House floor. In contrast to traditional mock congresses, students use innovative technology throughout the simulation to interact with their legislators and to connect with their peers around the country.


Lastnight 60 HTC & DMEC members and alumni from a wide variety of companies around the Bay Area descended on Adobe's San Francisco office for an informal mixer.
Adobe generously sponsored the event, providing delicious food and an abundance of beer and wine in a very cool venue, while Diageo hosted a Don Julio tasting station where attendees could learn about tequila and taste 4 varieties of Don Julio!
Everyone had an excellent evening of eating, drinking, tequila tasting and meeting new people and networking (perhaps the tequila helped ;-) )! The evening was a huge success!

What's That Process? Part 5
Darren A. Traub
Plastic processing is a major part of the process heating world. Among the process methods for plastics are thermoforming, compression molding and roto-molding.
In thermoforming, a sheet, as produced on a sheet-extrusion line, is the initial product. The mold for thermoforming is the negative of the final desired part and may be internal (vacuum formed), external (pressure formed), or both.

Plastic processing is a major part of the process heating world. Continuing with my "What's That Process" series look at plastic processing, this month I will look at thermoforming, compression molding and roto-molding.
Thermoforming is another plastic-forming process. Here, a sheet, as produced on a sheet-extrusion line, is the initial product. Again, the mold for thermoforming is the negative of the final desired part and may be internal (vacuum formed), external (pressure formed), or both.
The sheet is fed into the thermoforming machine, where it is heated by means of a platen or in a circulating hot-air oven to a temperature that will permit forming. This temperature differs with the plastic, the thickness and the complexity of the part.
Once at temperature, the part is sealed on the mold, and either a vacuum is drawn that "pulls" the plastic into the mold, so forming it, or the mold is pushed into the sheet, so forming the part. The mold may be cooled, and the plastic is permitted to cool before being ejected from the mold.
Again, thermoformed products are vast and include items such as plastics sinks and baths.
Compression Molding
In compression molding, the plastic, which typically is preheated, is placed into a heated open-mold cavity. Once the correct volume of material has been applied, the mold is closed under pressure and the material is forced into the mold cavity. Pressure and temperature is maintained until all of the interstices of the mold are filled. If the resin is a thermoset, the resin is permitted to cure. If the resin is a thermoplastic, the mold will have cooling that will permit the resin to crystallize. The mold is opened and the part is ejected.
Compression molding is suited to thermoset resins. Handles for cooking pots, housings for hot plates, electrical receptacles and high-voltage switch housings, trays and pallets are common compression-molded products.
Roto-Molding
Rotational molding, or roto-molding, as it is endearingly called, uses molds that are mounted on a structure that indexes or revolves. These machines can be very large depending on the part being formed. Typically, a roto-molding machine has four stations and revolves through each station to complete a cycle.
The first station is loading, where granulated or powdered resin is placed into the mold. The mold then moves into the baking or melting station, where heat is applied to the mold while the mold rotates simultaneously on two vertical axes. The resin melts and, by the rotating action, coats the internal surface of the mold evenly and uniformly. The mold then moves to the third station, where it is cooled by air or water as it continues to rotate. In the last station, the part is extracted from the mold.
Roto-molding can produce very large parts that are hollow. These include items such as furniture, sheds, toys, containers and outdoor play equipment. Double walled parts such as coolers also can be produced using rotational molding technology.
You will note that some of these plastics processing technologies require multiple process heating steps to enable a part to be made. For example, petrochemicals are heated in a reactor to make a polymer. The polymer is heated in an extruder to make a pellet. The pellet is heated to be injection molded and make a preform. The preform is heated to be blow molded into a bottle. The polymer is also cooled during each one of the steps.
You may wonder how a person that is involved in drying has knowledge about various different plastic processing technologies. I will share the secret with you. Many of the plastics and other commodities that are used in these processes require drying before they can be used. Examples of these are nylon, ABS and PET. These are commonly dried using desiccant air dryers because they need to get to extremely low final moistures. Wood flour and kindred products are emerging commodities that require drying for use in the wood plastics composite industry that is growing steadily.
There are very few things that do not require drying at some stage of their production.	PH

De Torre civica is een klokkentoren in Forlì, in de Italiaanse regio Romagna. De toren is gelegen achter het stadhuis.

De eerste toren werd gebouwd in de middeleeuwen, op een restant van een Romeinse toren. De Torre civica bevond zich achter het paleis van de familie Ordelaffi, een vooraanstaande familie in Forlì. Deze familie was gedurende lange tijd heerser over Forlì tijdens de middeleeuwen. Forlì was vanaf de jaren 1500 een provincie van de Pauselijke Staat. Het voormalige paleis van Ordelaffi werd derhalve residentie voor de prelaat-gouverneur. De toren werd deels vernield door de aardbeving van 1781.

De tweede toren is het gevolg van de restauratie van de ruïne, ten tijde van het bestuur van prelaat-gouverneur Stanislao Sanseverino 1818-1826. Met het afschaffen van de pauselijke staat werd het paleis van de prelaat-gouverneur het stadhuis van Forlì (19e eeuw). De Torre civica bleef een symbool van de stad en haar rijk verleden na de installatie van het koninkrijk Italië. De nazi's dynamiteerden de toren op 9 november 1944.

De derde en huidige toren werd gebouwd in de jaren 1975-1973. De reden voor de heropbouw was het verlangen om het eeuwenoude silhouet van de stad terug te krijgen.

Last year, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that 55 million people in the U.S. are "gig workers," which is more than 35 percent of the U.S. workforce. That number is projected to jump to 43 percent by 2020. If you've never heard the term, "gig work" is basically just a buzzy way of describing an independent contract or part-time job, like driving for Uber or freelance copywriting.
But this degree of freedom requires a corresponding amount of discipline, and that doesn't come easily to everybody. With no boss to make sure you're on task, it's all on you. If you wake up late and miss a client call, no one else can help smooth things over. It's your responsibility to apologize, call to reschedule or lose the client altogether. Not everybody is suited to be his or her own timekeeper. Some people need structure and the pressure of an authority figure to stay motivated. But if you're a self-starter who chafes at being told what to do, the gig life could be a perfect fit.
The gig economy is great for creatives!
When you're a young creative just starting out, and your resume is more or less a blank slate, gig work can help you get a foot in the door. The gig economy allows creatives to pay the bills while also giving them time to pursue their passions. Visual artists like my Uber driver can supplement freelance design work by driving for rideshare services. Aspiring novelists can freelance as copywriters to make their rent payments.
Plus, you can do these jobs from almost anywhere. You could be in the North Pole as long as you have internet access. You can find work wherever you feel inspired. Just make sure your artist's late nights don't keep you from turning projects around on time.
There's an inherent problem with how this system handles profits, and it's one with apparent advantages. Tech startups that focus on gig-based transactions count on being able to scrape relatively small fees from either customers or service providers. On a large enough scale, even small fees can accumulate to massive amounts of revenue. Accordingly, the scale needs to be as large as possible for the company to continue growing and remain profitable. This is problematic because it encourages razor-thin profit margins for service providers over the long term, and as more service providers begin to lean on the app for part of their income, it becomes harder to leave.
Gig workers aren't paid a salary; instead, they're paid a fixed fee for each "gig" or task they complete, leading to a sense of job instability. Gig workers are frequently insecure about their future and have to deal with inconsistent income, which can make it difficult to raise a family or save enough for retirement.
Without benefits like health insurance, retirement options, or other perks, it can cause serious financial distress. High-tech IoT devices and other breakthroughs are gradually making healthcare less expensive, but health-related emergencies are still the leading cause of debt and bankruptcy in the United States. Without health insurance, gig workers are stuck fending for those costs on their own and could face financial ruin because of it.
If a company has an option of hiring someone full-time or using an app to hire cheap temporary help, they'll probably choose the latter. As an increasing number of jobs and services become available in the gig economy, the number of available full-time jobs could take a hit. And of course, with higher unemployment rates and less demand for workers, the economy would suffer.
If someone is leveraging side gigs full-time, they'll face a number of other side effects in their life. Faced with inconsistent income and a job that could easily vanish, it would be nearly impossible to secure a mortgage or loan. Considering a relatively small percentage of people rely on gigs for their total income, we haven't seen this kind of widespread impact, but it could happen as the numbers increase.
Despite the weaknesses of the gig economy, there are remarkable benefits as well. People have more flexibility with the type of work they can take on, side gigs can lead to additional income for the average worker, and entirely new industries are being created. There are clearly positive economic benefits from apps that support the gig economy, but if they're not carefully designed and managed, they could have a negative impact strong enough to negate them. We need to think carefully about the technology we create and how we use it on a regular basis, or it could ultimately do as much harm as good.


Hunting for antelopes is in a class of its own, and in comparison with the cost of hunting European game, it is actually a very affordable hunting form, even though it takes place in Africa, with all the exciting experiences that brings with it. At the same type you can be almost certain of returning home with a really nice selection of trophies and a wealth of great memories. The vast majority of Antilope Hunts take place on hunting farms in either Namibia or South Africa, and these hunts can be tailored to the individual customer's wishes and needs, both with regard to which game species you wish to hunt, whether your accommodation if suitable for the whole family or not, and whether you wish to stay in luxurious of more simple surroundings. Read more about antilope hunts here.
Big Game Hunts doesn't just mean hunting big animals, it also means big challenges and experiences. Technically speaking most hunting in Africa is actually Big Game hunting. Even many species of antelope are considered to be true big game animals. But first and foremost it is The Big Five, that spring to mind when one talks about big game hunting. Lion, leopard, buffalo, elephant and rhinocerous, can all still be hunted in Africa, although only very few licenses are issued annually for the latter annually. Unique to West- and Central Africa are hunts for species such as the Bongo, forest buffalo and the Giant Eland which is also a full-blooded big game animal. Hunting for both The Big Four and the big game animals in general can be carried out with an absolutely clear conscious, as well managed hunting means than far mor animals will be saved from poachers, than will lose their lives to trophy. Read more about Big Game hunts here.
Mountain hunts are challenging when measured under any parameter. You will be challenged both physically, mentally and technically. At the same time it is difficult not to fall under the spell of the mountains harsh but magical beauty. It is also up in the mountains that you will find some of the most sought-after trophies in the world, for example Snow Sheep, Blue Sheep, Mountain Goat and perhaps the mighty Markhor or one of the many different sub-species of Ibex; Asiatic, European and Spanish. It is certainly true that many of these trophies are only found in some of the world's most inaccessible corners and are rather expensive, but it is also certainly possible to try your hand at mountain hunting at a price level that by far the most hunters can afford. Europe can offer a number of different mountain ranges, the Alps, the Pyrenees, the Carpathian and the Tatra Mountains. Here, at a very reasonable cost, you can enjoy good, challenging hunting for, for example Chamois, Mouflon or perhaps for one of the different sub-species of Spanish ibex. Read more about mountain hunts here.
The Roebuck, and in particular the hunt of this animal, holds a place close to many hunter's hearts. Hunters in the UK are lucky to have good roebuck hunting, with big trophies at reasonable prices right on there doorstep, but it is still exciting to travel elsewhere in Europe to enjoy hunting in fifferent surroundings and to experience other countries hunting traditions. It must be said that Poland is Europe's leading destination for roebuck, which offers excellent hunting no matter if our goal is to grass many bucks or a single really big trophy. Like England, Hungary is a country that is well known to dedicated roebuck hunters, and is a destination that has positioned itself as a destination offering big trophies. Recently France and Spain have made a name for themselves as destinations offering good roebuck hunts. The roe deer is found throughout Europe, and in just about every country the roebuck hunts have their own local character. For many travelling roebuck hunters it is no longer just the number and size of trophies that is important, they are more intersted in shooting a buck is as many countries as possible. This might include Turkey, Bulgaria, Serbia, Croatia, Scotland, Finland or Romania. Read more about roebuck hunting here.
Driven Hunting is probably the most intense hunting and wildlife experience you can imagine. A line of beaters drive the game forward towards a line of waiting guns, making sure that then arrive in front of the hunters. Driven hunts are also one of the most challenging technically, posing a great text of the hunters marksmanship skills. Preparing well on your local shooting range is often the key to a successful driven hunt. Countries such as Poland and Hungary play most to most of the driven hunts in Europe, as over decades they have succeeded in creating a wonderful setting for these hunts, which are carried out here with great professionalism. In recent years countries such as Romania, Croatia, Turkey and Spain, have appeared as good driven hunt destination, and are now giving Poland and Hungary a good run for their money, in the race to become the best driven hunting destination in Europe. Read more about driven hunts here.
The dream of hunting for stags sits at the back of nearly all hunter's minds, and every years more and more hunts make their dreams come true by travelling abroad to hunt for the stag trophy of their dreams. For some stag hunting is synonymous with hunting for the mighty Red Stag - the King of the Forest, while others prefer the beautiful Fallow Buck, or the shy and flighty Sika Stag. But stag hunting means much more than just this, it can include for example Whitetail deer in Finland, Wapiti in the USA or Rusa on Mauritius. There are certainly many possibilities to choose between. As Europeans we are blessed to have the rutting season hunts for the mighty red deer right on our doorstep. This is a hunting adventure that ever hunter MUST experience at least once in their lifetime! Read more about stag hunting here.
There is something magical about hunting for Wild Boars, and the Wild Boar is in itself nearly the hunter's perfect quarry. Wild boars are challenging, they demand respect, and under the optimal conditions can grow to an enormous size. It is possible to hunt for wild boars in many ways: lying in wait, on driven hunts, on the more controlled small driven hunts and even with hunting dogs. No matter which hunting form you choose, you can be certain of being challenged, because a wild boar, especially a big wild boar, will never let itself be beaten without a fight. Over the last couple of decades populations of wild boar have grown dramatically over its entire range, and our opportunities to enjoy hunt for boar have never been better than they are now. Read more about wild boar hunts here.
If you miss challenging hunting, then pigeon shooting could be just what you are looking for. Here you will enjoy an ample opportunity to take many shots. It is possible to hunt Pigeons all year round in, for example, England and Scotland. While the hunting is absolutely sensational in late summer, many really enjoy hunting in the spring. In the autumn you have many opportunity of combining this hunt with other types of rough shooting, including hunting for pheasants, woodcock and hares. The pigeon shooting in Argentina is world renown. Here you can run into enormous numbers of the so-called "doves", which are similar to wood pigeons. Read more about pigeon shooting here.
Hunting bear is a really special experience. It comes as no surprise that to take part in a bear hunt is many hunter's biggest hunting dream. The excitement involved in hunting bears is, quite simply, found nowhere else. These hunts take place in destinations such as Canada, Alaska, and Russia as well as a few countries in Europe such as Romania and Croatia. In North America it is possible to hunt both black bears and brown bears (grizzly), while in Europe and Asia one hunts for the European brown bear and the Siberian brown bear respectively. Read more about bear hunting here.

How do I clean the Drain Seal Plus?
Typically, a standard soap and water mixture is all that is needed to clean the Ultra-Drain Seal Plus. Once it has been cleaned it should be allowed to air dry and then returned to its original packaging.
Is the Drain Seal Plus reusable?
Yes, the Ultra-Drain Seal Plus is reusable provided that it has not been exposed to a chemical that has caused any degradation.
Are custom sizes and/or shapes available?
Yes, custom shapes and sizes are available. Please contact our customer service department for more information.
What size Drain Seal Plus should I use?
For best results, use an Ultra-Drain Seal Plus that is at least 6" larger than the outside of the grate.
What is the best way to store a Drain Seal Plus?
The Ultra-Drain Seal Plus should be stored in a cool, dry area in the box that it is shipped in. It is important that the Ultra-Drain Seal Plus does not touch itself because, over time, the touching areas will fuse together. This can be prevented by using the plastic sheeting each unit is shipped in.
Your compatibility chart says 'NR' for the chemical that I'm using. What exactly does that mean?
'NR' stands for 'Not Recommended'. HOWEVER, it is worth noting that most chemical compatibility guides (ours included) are based on a one-year immersion test. In other words, the material being tested is completely immersed in the chemical in question. After one year, the material is removed and checked for any degradation. Needless to say, a spill response product is not going to be exposed to a chemical for a year. So it's possible that the Ultra-Drain Seal Plus will be effective against a spill of a chemical that is listed as 'NR'. The best way to know for sure is to test for yourself. Please contact our customer service team and they will be able to send you a no-charge sample.

GOSSIPONTHIS.COM Celebs Jay Z's Alleged Mistress Releases "Sorry Mrs. Carter" Beyoncé Diss Video
Jay Z's Alleged Mistress Releases "Sorry Mrs. Carter" Beyoncé Diss Video
GOT Staff
Updated August 7th, 2014 at 5:27 pm
Karlie Redd, come get your little sister.
Unless you've been enjoying much needed time alone under a rock, you know that Beyoncé and Jay Z are rumored to be on the verge of divorcing.
The reason why is up for debate (Is he fucking Rihanna? Is he tired of being Beyoncé's armpiece? Is any of this "impending divorce" stuff even true?) but the woman who has been named by the gossip rags as Jay Z's mistress wants you to know that she isn't the reason.
The woman is an old thot aspiring rapper who goes by the name "LIV" (…) and she has released not just a Beyoncé diss track, but a Beyoncé diss VIDEO, called "Sorry Mrs. Carter," which is inspired by Outkast's "Ms. Jackson." Welcome to the 21st century, folks.
Via Crunktastical:
On the track, struggle rapper Liv maintains that although she and Hova "never screwed" that the pair "connected on some hip-hop shit." In fact, he still thinks about the bond they once shared to this very day. How special.
The song features a gang of lazy and uninspired references to lyrics from Jay-Z's rhyme catalog that makes the wordplay Chief Keef displayed on "Fuck Rehab" sound like it belongs on, well, a Jay-Z song.
"Time to tell these young girls some real shit. Time to tell them how you became a wife. Come on now. Serfborts? Monica Lewinsky? Why don't you tell these girls how to be wise? Why don't you tell these girls how to act around your husband?," Karlie Redd's protege quips before informing listeners that "the invasion has begun."
Watch LIV struggle to achieve relevancy in the video above.

Az 1957-es Formula–1-es világbajnokság hatodik futama a német nagydíj volt.

Futam
Az olasz csapatok a német nagydíjon visszavágtak a Vanwallnak: Az első rajtsorban csak Maserati és Lancia-Ferrari állt. Fangio szerezte meg a pole-t Hawthorn, Behra és Collins előtt. A mezőny Formula–2-es autókkal (Porschék és Cooperek) egészült ki.

A rajtnál Hawthorn és Collins állt az élre, de Fangio a harmadik körben megelőzte Collinst, majd Hawthornt, így az élre állt. Collins később megelőzte Hawthornt, de ő se tudta utolérni az argentin versenyzőt, aki egyre nagyobb előnyre tett szert. Fangio a verseny közepén a Lancia-Ferrarikkal ellentétben üzemanyagot vételezett és kereket cseréltetett. Az egyik kerék leszedésével komoly probléma adódott, ezért a kiállás nagyon lassúra sikerült. Amikor visszatért a két Ferrari mögé, hátránya már 48 másodperc volt. A következő tíz kör alatt kilencszer döntötte meg a pályarekordot, leggyorsabb köre 8 másodperccel jobb volt a pole pozíciónál. A 21. kör elején utolérte Collinst, és az egyik egyenesben már egymás mellett haladtak. A közeledő híd alatt alig fért volna el a két autó egymás mellett. Collins meghátrált, így Fangio megszerezte a második helyet. A kör végén, egy balos kanyarban úgy előzte meg Hawthornt, hogy bal kerekei a füvön voltak. Fangio ezzel visszaállt az élre, és megnyerte a versenyt Hawthorn és Collins előtt.

Az ötödik bajnoki címét bebiztosító argentin versenyt így kommentálta: "Soha nem vezettem életemben ezelőtt még ilyen gyorsan, és nem hiszem, hogy még egyszer képes lennék rá".

Statisztikák
 Juan Manuel Fangio 24. (utolsó) GP győzelme (R), 27. pole pozíció (R), 22. leggyorsabb kör (R), 9. mesterhármasa (R).
 Maserati 9. GP győzelme
 A versenyben vezettek:
 Mike Hawthorn 8 kör (1-2/15-20)
 Juan Manuel Fangio 11 kör (3-11/21-22)
 Peter Collins 3 kör (12-14)

Ged Flynn complained on behalf of PAPYRUS Prevention of Young Suicide to the Press Complaints Commission that an article headlined "Dad took his own life after police failed to find suicide letters in Vauxhall Combo van", published by The Sentinel (Staffordshire) on 17 September 2013, contained excessive detail about a method of suicide in breach of Clause 5 (Intrusion into grief or shock) of the Editors' Code of Practice.
The articles reported on an inquest into the death of a man who had taken his own life by overdosing on a narcotic and inhaling a fatal quantity of poisonous gas. It included the name of the drug, the type of gas, how it had been produced, and where the suicide had occurred. The complainant said the articles included an excessive and irresponsible level of detail about the method of suicide, which could lead to imitative suicide attempts.
The newspaper said that it aimed to be sensitive when reporting inquests and took extra care with cases involving suicide; it believed that it had acted responsibly in balancing its right to report the proceedings with its obligations under the Code. It had chosen to omit a number of details that had been given at the inquest from its report, including further information about the method. Nonetheless, it pointed out that it had removed the material complained of from the online article on a goodwill basis, at the request of the complainants, before receiving the complaint via the PCC.
Clause 5 (ii) of the Editors' Code of Practice is intended to reduce the risk of imitative suicides and requires that "when reporting suicide, care should be taken to avoid excessive detail about the method used".
Inquests involving suicide provide a particular challenge to editors, as they frequently include a high level of detail about the method and require editors to exercise fine judgments about how much material it is appropriate and safe to publish. In this instance, it was clear that the newspaper had given consideration to its Code obligations and had chosen to omit significant details of the evidence heard at the inquest. While the resulting coverage did contain substantial information about the method, the Commission concluded that on this occasion, the newspaper had stayed just on the right side of the line.
Nonetheless, it took the opportunity to emphasise that Clause 5 (ii) was introduced to the Editors' Code in recognition of the fact that suicide is a major public health problem, which the press can help combat through responsible reporting. In all such cases, editors should have regard for the potential impact that coverage may have on vulnerable individuals when considering how to approach the story and how much detail to include.

In 2011, Sonia Vallabh was handed a genetic report that contained a death sentence. But it also held a map for how to escape.
Her body, she learned, harbored a gene mutation, a single wrong letter of DNA in her "prion" gene, that would eventually lead to a rare brain condition called fatal familial insomnia. Her mother had died of it the year before, and the test had revealed Vallabh had inherited the flaw too.
Now, after seven years, they think they have found a treatment that can do it. It's called an antisense drug, a type of mirror-image molecule that, if it reaches the brain, could greatly reduce the amount of the prion protein. That could potentially forestall the mysterious chain reaction of misfolding proteins that characterize prion diseases.
Less of the protein, Vallabh reasons, and less chance she'll get sick.
Vallabh's race to prevent her own prion disease raises a question for the genetic age. Given a perfect DNA blueprint of your inherited disease, what's your chance of stopping it in your lifetime, or that of someone you love?
There are reasons to think these types of medical long shots have become more likely to hit the mark. That is because gene sequencing can cheaply reveal molecular flaws, but also because a set of promising technologies—antisense, gene therapy, and CRISPR gene editing—are able to replace genes or silence them, in effect fixing genetic problems at their source.
A close-up of up brain tissue affected by prions, misfolded protein that are toxic to neurons.
What's more, these treatments employ the genetic code; they are actually made of DNA or RNA. That means that they're fundamentally modular and programmable. At least on paper, it is now possible to take any genetic flaw and quickly sketch an antidote.
In reality, drug development is notoriously complicated. Most drugs fail, torn down by biological surprises and unexpected toxicity to the human body. But Vallabh says in the early, confusing days of her quest, she received critical advice from Eric Lander, the biologist who leads the Broad Institute, where she and Minikel now study and work. He told her to focus on the genetic error itself—the blueprint of which was in her diagnosis.
"You need to see what you have in your hand and stop looking," she recalls him saying.
Prion diseases are profoundly strange because they're caused not by a virus, but by an infectious protein. They include scrapie in sheep, Kuru (spread by cannibalism), Creutzfelt-Jakob disease, and the human version of mad cow disease.
For genetic therapies, though, there's a further problem, which is how to get them into the body so that they reach, for instance, billions of brain cells.
Antisense technology, conceived decades ago, had its big breakthrough last year when a drug developed by Ionis proved to be astoundingly effective in treating a childhood neurological disorder, spinal muscular atrophy.
By then, Vallabh and Minikel had been introduced to Ionis, and the company had agreed to provide them with antisense compounds targeted to the prion gene to test in mice. Holly Kordasiewicz, the head of neuroscience at Ionis, recalls the 2014 meeting. "We left the room saying we need to do everything that we can to help these people," she says.
The company gave Vallabh and Minikel a to-do list, which they quickly worked through. Patient registry? Check. Animal studies? Check. Biomarker to show if a drug is working? That research, too, is under way at a Boston hospital studying prion protein levels in spinal fluid.
"Sonia and Eric are doing this with no real funding, just trying to make it happen," says Jeff Carroll, another patient scientist (he's got the mutation for Huntington's disease), who introduced them to Ionis.
One problem not as easily addressed is that prion disease is astoundingly rare, quickly fatal, and rarely diagnosed in advance. That means there has been no great clamor for treatments. Maybe only 200 people in the U.S. know they have a time bomb like Vallabh, she says, and there's not a single drug currently in human testing. Early on, Ionis let the pair know the collaboration was strictly academic and not a commercial prospect.
But by blotting out the prion protein at its source, an antisense treatment might help with a range of rare conditions linked to it. Fatal insomnia is vanishingly uncommon, as are cases of mad cow disease, but adding these "ultra-rare" diseases together makes them, as a group, slightly less rare.
Vallabh and Minikel say they now have proof that Ionis's antisense molecules partly protect mice from prion disease. Those animals given the drug live about 70 percent longer.
Kordasiewicz now terms the program a "commercial" project at Ionis, though it remains too small and early-stage to appear on the company's pipeline chart of drugs under development. "What changed is the data is looking good enough that we think we can have a drug in five years," she says.
Vallabh hopes it can all go even faster. The fatal insomnia could begin to afflict her tomorrow, or in 30 years. There's no way to predict it. She and Minikel just had their first child. The girl was conceived through IVF, and Vallabh says the lab employed a genetic test to assure them she wouldn't carry the mutation.
To save herself, it's not going to be enough to have a drug. She needs to get it before she ever falls ill. Yet doctors have little experience giving such a genetic drug over many years as a form of prevention.
Figuring out how to carry off such a study is the next challenge for Vallabh and her husband. It appears they hope the US Food and Drug Administration will permit a prevention trial in patients who carry the prion mutations. Since it can take decades for people to get sick (or not), such a study would instead rely on a biomarker, such as whether antisense injections can reduce prion protein levels in the spinal fluid.

Q: Are there no end of line characters when using ARGF? I have a csv file formatted like this:
Wed Mar 07 00:00:00 CET 2012,78.0
Thu Mar 08 00:00:00 CET 2012,46.0
...

I read it using standard input, and tried to match parts of each line using:
ARGF.each_line do |line|
    time << line.scan(/^\w{3} (\w{3}) (\d{2}) (\d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2}) \w+ (\d{4}),([.\d]+)$/)
end

Which for some reason only returns the last line in the file.
If I copy the CSV file to a string variable, it starts to match each line correctly. If I remove the dollar sign from the regex it matches correctly as well, but I don't understand why $ doesn't work when reading from ARGF. Any ideas?

A: Is there a reason you have to use ARGF? You can check out the CSV class in the standard library, which gives tools to make the processing easier.
Here's an example that yields one row at a time to foreach. I would guess that this allows you to not worry about where lines begin or end:
require "csv"

CSV.foreach("path/to/file.csv") do |row|
  time << line.scan(/^\w{3} (\w{3}) (\d{2}) (\d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2}) \w+ (\d{4}),([.\d]+)$/)
end

Memorial for Phillip Rush set for Friday
By Project Q Staff
Add this share
A community gathering to remember veteran gay activist Phillip Rush is set for Friday in Midtown.
The event at Frogs Cantina on Monroe Drive calls attention to a place where Rush spent much of his time, according to Doug Carl, Rush's friend of 12 years.
"If you did not find Phillip in his office, you found him at Frogs," Carl says. "That was his gathering place for meetings and talk discussion. That's where he did what he did best."
Rush, 55, died early Tuesday from apparent complications arising from a blood clot, Carl says. His death has prompted an outpouring of support on Rush's Facebook page from both gay and straight friends and colleagues.
The gathering on Friday begins at 6 p.m. and is open to the public. Carl says there will not be a local funeral or memorial service for Rush.
"Come, gather and celebrate. There has been a strong contingent of people who have called and expressed interest. I am sure it will be well populated and full of love," Carl says.
Rush, who lived in Atlanta, worked with nonprofit groups as program officer at the Community Foundation for Greater Atlanta for 15 years. He left the philanthropic organization in March and continued his community building work with Decatur-based Next Incarnation. Rush supported and worked with several gay organizations, including Georgia Equality, Atlanta Lesbian Health Initiative and Atlanta Bucks Rugby Football Club.
In addition to the make-shift memorial on his Facebook page, friends remembered Rush in interviews with Southern Voice.
"Phillip was about creating conversation and connections between different people and different communities," said Allen Thornell, who worked with Rush when Thornell served as executive director and as a board member of Georgia Equality.
"He was always trying to find different ways to bring together people who wouldn't otherwise meet, but who he thought would benefit from seeing a situation or issue through someone else's lens," continued Thornell, now director of policy communications for CARE USA. "He worked to create communities."
Longtime Atlanta activist Duncan Teague recalled how he first met Rush at a workshop more than a decade ago, then became friends.
"What I loved about Phillip was that my impression is that he had come from privilege — I'm not sure how much privilege, but they were not struggling — and in spite of whatever that may have meant for some folks in that economic class, for Phillip that was never an excuse not to do for other people and never, ever an excuse to stop learning," he said. "He was so interested to find out more about people, about how we relate to each other, about what might help and what won't help."

Among Physicians, Surgeons Are the Best Golfers
Diana Phillips
Contrary to the popular stereotype, not all physicians love to play golf. In fact, only a small percentage of physicians in the United States actually spend time on the links, but of those that do, surgeons have the strongest game, a study has shown.
In an analysis of golfing patterns among physicians, Gal Koplewitz, Department of Health Care Policy, Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts, and colleagues estimated that only 4.1% of 1,029,088 US physicians in the Doximity physician database have logged their scores in the Golf Handicap and Information Network (GHIN) — a handicap system for amateur golfers — as of August 1, 2018.
This rate rises to 5.5% among physicians who are men and drops to 1.3% among physicians who are women. Most of the physicians (89.5%) who have actively logged their scores into the network are men, the authors report in their article published in the Christmas issue of BMJ.
To test the validity of the physician golfer stereotype and further analyze physician golfing patterns, researchers linked physicians in the Doximity database by full name and state of residence to the GHIN database, extracting information on the number of games a physician logged in the previous 6 months and golf handicap.
"We analyzed the proportion of physicians who regularly play golf, both overall and according to physician sex, age, and specialty. We also analyzed the frequency of golf rounds in the previous 6 months," they write. "Finally, to determine which specialties had the best golfers we analyzed how players' handicaps varied across physician specialty."
Of the 41,692 physicians in the Doximity database linked to the GHIN database, men aged 61 to 70 years were the most likely to play golf (6.9%). "It is unclear whether this is a generational preference or simply a matter of having more leisure time later in one's career," the authors state. Women aged 31 to 35 years were the least likely to play golf (0.8%, respectively).
When considered by specialty, orthopedic surgeons, urologists, plastic surgeons, and otolaryngologists were best represented among the golfing ranks, with respective participation rates of 8.8%, 8.1%, 7.5%, and 7.1%.
By contrast, internal medicine and infectious disease specialists were far less likely to play, with participation rates at 2.9% for both specialties.
Compared with the average handicap of physician golfers overall (16.0), vascular surgeons, thoracic surgeons, and orthopedic surgeons had the best respective average handicaps of 14.7, 14.8, and 14.9. The average handicaps of endocrinologists, dermatologist, and oncologist were greater than 17.0. "This reflects substantially better golf skills on the part of the former three specialties," the authors write.
Perhaps not surprisingly, the more golfers in a given specialty, the lower the average handicap for that specialty (correlation coefficient, −0.5; P = .002). Similarly, better performance was observed in golfers who played more (correlation coefficient, −0.2; P = .004).
When considered by the physician gender, in the first 6 months of 2018, men played an average of 14.8 games and had an average overall handicap of 15.0, and women played an average of 12.1 games and had an average overall handicap of 25.2.
"Given research that suggests male physicians spend almost 2 hours less than female physicians each day on household responsibilities, even among dual physician couples who have similar reported work, does the substantially greater time spent by male physicians on the golf course explain some of this discrepancy?" the authors ask.
There is limited scientific evidence that has assessed the association, if any, between the amount of time a physician plays golf and patient, physician, and organizational outcomes, the authors note.
Although the current study provides insight into physicians' golfing habits, "the association between golfing and patient outcomes, costs of care, and physician well-being remain unknown," the authors write.
"Is patient mortality associated with the amount of time a patient's physician plays golf (either negatively, because physicians release stress on the golf course, or positively, owing to decreased availability and time spent away from developing clinical skill)? Do costs of care increase and patient outcomes worsen in the days after a physician has had a bad round of golf?" ask the authors. Research into these considerations may be warranted, they conclude.
Support for this research was provided by the National Institutes of Health. The authors have reported no relevant financial relationships.

Q: React Native Drag and Drop Listview Eu preciso implementar uma funcionalidade bizarra no React Native. É o seguinte, preciso conseguir fazer um drag and drop para remover um ítem de uma ListView horizontal e adicionar em outra. A grande questão é que ele só pode iniciar o drag and drop se o usuário tiver arrastado para cima, porque como é uma listview, e é horizontal, significa que se o usuário arrastar para o lado é para scrollar a view
Alguém sabe como posso fazer isso ou algo parecido com isso?

A: Você dificilmente vai conseguir fazer isso funcionar pelo simples fato de que a estrutura de layout do Android / iOS não permite tal funcionalidade.
No momento que uma View filha ultrapassa as bordas de uma View pai, ela é automaticamente "escondida", ou em outras palavras, parte dela não vai ser renderizada pois ela está ultrapassando os limites da View pai.
Tratando de UX (experiência de usuário), isso também seria uma péssima escolha. Veja bem, ensinar ou convencer usuários a usar um componente desconhecido nunca é uma boa escolha. Usando componentes padrões de cada plataforma é a melhor garantia de que os seus usuários vão entender como se usa o seu aplicativo.
