Three off-duty Florida police officers were 'potentially poisoned with date rape drug' during night out that left one on a ventilator
08:33 - News
Three off-duty Florida police officers became sick and two were hospitalized during a night out and officials are investigating whether they were intentionally poisoned with a date rape drug.
Three officers with the Orlando Police Department went out on September 16 in downtown Sanford where they had dinner at the restaurant Willow Tree, went to Henry's Depot for drinks, Tuffy's Bottle shop for a drink and ended at Celery City Craft.
At the last bar one of them started to feel ill, 'visibly sweating and vomited', according to the report by the Sanford Police Department released Tuesday.
They called an ambulance and that officer was treated by a paramedic with an IV, according to the Orlando Sentinel.
Three off-duty Orlando Police Department officers went out in Sanford, Florida on September 16 where they were 'potentially poisioned' and became sick, leaving one on a ventilator
The two other officers later went home and also became sick.
One officer officer developed severe symptoms later in the night and was later placed on a ventilator and the third was also hospitalized.
According to the report one of the officer's mixed drinks 'didn't taste good/right' and they only took a couple sips and the other officers split the drink.
A doctor who treated one of the officers at Seminole County hospital said they 'might be experiencing the effect of being drugged or poisoned.'
Medical staffers reportedly told the Sanford Police investigators that one officer 'may have been drugged with a narcotic commonly known as Rohypnol (GHB)', which is known as a 'date rape' drug.
One reported that the symptoms hit 'all at once out of nowhere' including 'vomiting, profuse sweating and muscle pain.'

A first responder who treated one of those officers reported the victim went in and out of consciousness and 'appeared to be having the symptoms of someone who may be overdosing', the report said.
The FBI is assisting Sanford police with the investigation.
Spokeswoman Bianca Gillet said investigators are waiting on toxicology results to confirm whether the officers were poisoned.
Adam Krudo, the president of the Fraternal Order of Police lodge that represents the Orlando officers, confirmed that all three were cops with the OPD and were off duty and not in uniform.
He said all officers have since recovered and are out of the hospital.
The trio had dinner at the restaurant Willow Tree in Sanford, Florida before hitting some bars for drinks including Tuffy's Bottle shop (above)
The group ended the night at Celery City Craft where one of the officers started to feel ill
It's unclear if this attack was targeted.
The report said one officer has history with a bartender at one of the businesses they visited 'due to some words being exchanged over the bartender's girlfriend hitting on' the officer a few weeks prior, according to ClickOrlando.
Bar and restaurant owners are cooperating with the investigation and say nothing seemed out of the ordinary that night.

Q: Handling visual overflow in a tkinter frame? I'm writing a class that adds a scrolling frame. It detects when the frame's contents exceed its height, and then configures the scrollbar. The problem is that when I scroll down, the items in the frame scroll outside of the top of the frame and appear above it.
I've tested it out using plain labels, and it worked fine, but I'm using a class object that has some nested frames, and the child objects are what show up above the scrolling frame.
This is the gist of the code that's giving me problems (please note that the layout doesn't match the full project. I used this as my reference for the ScrollFrame() class.)
Just running this, pressing the button, and scrolling down will show you what's wrong with it.

import tkinter as tk
import tkinter.simpledialog as sd

class ScrollFrame(tk.Frame):

    def __init__(self, master):

        tk.Frame.__init__(self, master)

        ### setting up the objects used ###
        self.canvas = tk.Canvas(master)
        self.frame = tk.Frame(self.canvas)
        self.scrollbar = tk.Scrollbar(master, orient = 'vertical',
                                      command = self.canvas.yview)

        ### scrollbar moves with current canvas scrollamount ###
        self.canvas.configure(yscrollcommand = self.scrollbar.set)

        self.scrollbar.pack(side = 'right', fill = 'y')
        self.canvas.pack(side = 'left', fill = 'both', expand = True)

        ### creating frame to pack widgets onto ###
        self.canvas.create_window((4, 4), window = self.frame,
                                  anchor = 'nw', tags = 'self.frame')

        ### setting scrollbar height on load ###
        self.frame.bind('<Configure>', self.frameConfig)

        ### scroll when a user's mouse wheel is used inside the canvas ###
        def scrollCanvas(event):
            self.canvas.yview_scroll(-1*(event.delta//120), 'units')
        self.canvas.bind('<MouseWheel>', scrollCanvas)

    ### set the scrollregion of the canvas ###
    def frameConfig(self, event):
        self.canvas.configure(scrollregion = self.canvas.bbox('all'))

class OptionSet(tk.Frame):

    def __init__(self, master, **kwargs):

        super().__init__()
        self.all = tk.Frame(master)
        self.all.configure(bd = 1, relief = 'solid')

        # independent label
        self.text = '' if not kwargs['text'] else kwargs['text']
        self.label = tk.Label(text = self.text)

        # list of all buttons
        self.buttons = tk.Frame()

        buttons = [] if not kwargs['buttons'] else kwargs['buttons']
        self.button_list = []

        if buttons:
            for button in buttons:
                self.button_list.append(
                        tk.Button(self.buttons, text = button)
                    )

        self.style()

    def style(self, default = 1, **kwargs):

        if default:
            self.label.pack(in_ = self.all, side = 'left')

            for button in self.button_list:
                button.pack(side = 'left')

            self.buttons.pack(in_ = self.all, side = 'right')

root = tk.Tk()

list_items = []
current = {
    'month': 'August'
    # ...
}

def btn_fcn(num):

        for i in list_items:
            i.grid_forget()

        '''
        # get event as input
        event = sd.askstring('Event Input',
            f"What is happening on {current['month']} {num}?")

        # insert new list_item
        list_items.append(OptionSet(event_list.frame, text = event,
                          buttons = ['Edit', 'Delete']))
        print(event)
        '''

        for i in range(10):
            list_items.append(OptionSet(event_list.frame, text = 'test',
                                        buttons = ['Edit', 'Delete']))

        for i in list_items:
            i.all.grid(sticky = 'we')

tk.Button(root, text = 'Add', command = lambda: btn_fcn(22)).pack()
event_list = ScrollFrame(root)
event_list.pack()

root.mainloop()

I want the buttons and labels to cut off outside of the ScrollFrame. I don't know whether they're overflowing from the frame or the canvas, but they should cut off normally if all goes according to plan.
Thanks.

A: The problem is that you're being very sloppy with where you create your widgets. For example, you aren't putting the canvas and scrollbar in the ScrollFrame, you're putting it in master. Every widget defined in ScrolLFrame needs to be in self or a child of self.
The same is true with OptionSet - you're putting the inner frame (self.all) a d the other widgets in master rather than inside the OptionSet itself.
My recommendation is to temporarily remove all of the OptionSet code (or just don't use it) and instead, just add labels to the scroll frame. Focus on getting that working without the complexity of a custom class being added to a custom class.  Once you are able to scroll just labels, the you can add back in the OptionSet code.

(EMAILWIRE.COM, March 09, 2017 ) The TAWS market is expected to be worth USD 253.0 Million by 2022, growing at a CAGR of 5.8% between 2016 and 2022. The TAWS market has a huge potential across various applications such as commercial aircraft, military and defense aircraft, and other aircraft.
Browse 75 market data tables and 67 figures spread through 172 pages and in-depth TOC on "Terrain Awareness and Warning System (TAWS) Market - Global Forecasts to 2022"
The major factor driving the TAWS market across the world is the increasing number of fleet globally and mandate to install TAWS in aircraft by the directives of aviation regulation bodies in the U.S., the U.K., and China, among many other countries.
The market for Class A TAWS is expected to grow at the highest rate between 2016 and 2022. Class A TAWS installation has reduced controlled flight into terrain (CFIT) accidents globally by providing advanced safety features. This growth can be attributed to the increasing demand for military and defense aircraft from Asia Pacific and Rest of the World.
The higher growth rate of the market for turbine-powered aircraft is attributed to the growing need for turbine engine-based aircraft in commercial and military and defense applications. The growth of the market for turbine-powered military and defense aircraft is due to the increasing demand for fighter planes, carrier planes, and military rotorcraft in countries such as the U.S., India, China, and Russia.
The higher growth rate of the military and defense aircraft globally is attributed to the growing need for safety, increasing government expenditure, and rapidly expanding inter-country conflicts as well as the terrorist activities. India and China have cumulated their defense expenditures, which has consequently driven the TAWS market for military and defense carrier planes.
North America is currently leading the TAWS market and is estimated to be at a leading position for the next few years, owing to the high adoption of TAWS. The growth of the TAWS market in North America is because of high government funding and FAA mandates, presence of leading players, and strong technical base. The major driving factor in North America is the presence of prominent vendors of TAWS including Universal Avionics Systems Corporation (U.S.), Honeywell International Inc. (U.S.), and L3 Technologies Inc. (U.S).

Era fratello di Bencomo, mencey di Taoro e si distinse nelle lotte della conquista. Soprattutto, si celebra la sua partecipazione al cosiddetto "Matanza de Acentejo". Secondo storici come Leonardo Torriani e Frate Alonso de Espinosa, Tinguaro succedette al fratello come mencey di Taoro. Tuttavia, documenti contemporanei con i fatti chiariscono che colui che fu fatto re fu Bentor, figlio di Bencomo.

Tinguaro figura come il protagonista negli eventi della conquista castigliana dell'isola. Nel maggio del 1494 il capitano conquistatore Alonso Fernández de Lugo sbarca nell'isola e poco dopo penetra verso la valle di La Orotava con l'intenzione di schiacciare la resistenza aborigena finendo con il suo principale caudillo Bencomo. Questo, manda Tinguaro di fronte a circa trecento guerrieri per intrattenere il nemico mentre va con la maggior parte della sua gente. Nel burrone di Acentejo, Tinguaro attacca con il suo, sviluppandosi poi conosciuto come "Matanza de Acentejo" dove i castigliani sono completamente sconfitti dai guanci.

The Burlington Choral Society's 40th anniversary season continues with performances of beloved music by Brahms.
Richard Riley, artistic director, will lead the chorus, soloists and two pianists in Johannes Brahms' Requiem.
A musical journey from sorrow to consolation, the piece will be sung in English, as it was in 1871, just three years after its German premiere. Also on the program is Brahms' passionate Schicksalslied (Song of Destiny).
Pianists Claire Black and Diane Huling will be side by side at the keyboard playing Brahms' own four-hand piano arrangement. Sarah Cullins, soprano, and Geoffrey Penar, baritone, are the soloists.
Riley said, "Performing the Brahms Requiem is one of the most profound experiences one can have in music. The music is gigantic, and yet intimate. Together, performers and audience create a environment where, through music, we share our most personal feelings about life and death."
VPR is media sponsor for the Burlington Choral Society's 2016-2017 season. Northfield Savings Bank is sponsor for the Barre concert.

Softball: What you need to know about Section 1 tournament coverage
Mike Zacchio
The 2019 Section 1 softball tournament will begin next week, with seeds slated to be announced Tuesday morning.
The Journal News/lohud will be providing comprehensive coverage throughout the entire tournament (and through the end of the season at the state tournament), but we wanted to make it easy for you to know what exactly to expect each day.
Here's a look at our tentative coverage plans for the tournament:
- Monday is the last day to play for all Section 1 softball teams if they want it to count towards their sectional tournament seeding.
- Journal News/lohud softball beat writer Mike Zacchio will have a column up on lohud.com/sports in the morning that previews the tournament. It will not include any predictions whatsoever, but it will include a plethora of content and include the following analysis:
A brief overall view of all four classes
Top five leagues, as ranked by competitive balance and schedule strength
Top five team schedule, based on strength of opponents
Top five lineups in Section 1
Top five defenses in Section 1
Under the radar teams in Section 1
Best potential finals matchups, based on storylines
- MORNING: The Section 1 tournament seeds will be released sometime Tuesday morning. They can come in as early as 9:30 or 10 a.m., or arrive as later as 2 p.m. Once we have them, we will post them to the blog immediately.
- AFTERNOON: We will also have a tournament primer up later in the day in a separate post. The primer is an overall look at the tournament, including favorites, contenders, sleepers, potential upsets, best matchups, etc. There will be no predictions in this post.
- NIGHT: There will be a live chat on the blog in a separate post, where Zacchio will answer your questions in real time. The chat will begin at 8 p.m. and last anywhere from 60-90 minutes, depending on the amount of questions received. No predictions will be made or answered during the chat.
- Zacchio's official tournament predictions — also known as Zacketology — will be unveiled in the morning.
- Section 1 outbracket games will be played in any brackets that have more than 16 qualifying teams. Only Class A is expected to have any outbracket games. We may or may not be covering one of these contests, but there will be a scoreboard post highlighting scores and stats from all reported games.
- There will be a softball-related feature running in the morning for you all to enjoy well before the games begin.
- In what will be the busiest day of the tournament, first found games will be held at the higher seed in all matchups unless otherwise noted. We will be covering at least one of these games and will add to the outbracket scoreboard at night with all reported scores and stats.
- There are no scheduled games for Friday, as it is a rain date for Thursday. Enjoy the day by reading all of the tournament coverage on the Lohud Softball Blog until games resume.
- Quarterfinal games will be held at the higher seed in all matchups unless otherwise noted. We're going to try and cover at least two of these games complete with a game story. Ideally, games will be scheduled throughout the day so that I'll be able to hit two or three games myself. Only one will have a game story, but all games will have live in-game updates on Twitter.
- The Section 1 Class C semifinals will be held at the higher seed in all matchups unless otherwise noted, likely with a 4:30 p.m. start time for each game. My guess is we'll be covering one of these games, but that is not confirmed.
- The Section 1 Class AA, A and B semifinals will be held at the higher seed in all matchups unless otherwise noted. My guess is we'll be covering at least two of these games, but that is not confirmed.
- There are no games scheduled, but there will be a Section 1 finals primer up online in the morning for you all to enjoy. There may be a Facebook Live chat at 8 p.m., where Mike Zacchio will take your questions live on the air. That is still to be determined.

Q: AJAX - jQuery - triple dynamic dropdown menu I'm trying to write a function to get a triple dropdown menu with auto populating of the <option> values.
I get this values from 2 JSON responses.
I have no problem when populating the second dropdown list, but when trying to the third, every value disappears.
This is the form (park -> piano -> interruttore)
<select name="idPark" id="idPark" class="form-control">
   <option value=""><spring:message code="switch.park" /></option>
    <c:forEach items="${parks }" var="park">
      <option value="${park.idPark }">${park.nomePark }</option>
    </c:forEach>
</select>

<select name="idPiano" id="idPiano" class="form-control">
  <option value=""><spring:message code="switch.floor" /></option>
    <c:forEach items="${piani }" var="piano">
      <option value="${piano.idPiano }">${piano.nomePiano }</option>
    </c:forEach>
</select>

<select name="idInterruttore" id="idInterruttore" class="form-control">
<option value=""><spring:message            code="switch.switch_lamp_name" /> </option>
  <c:forEach items="${interruttori }" var="interruttore">
    <option value="${interruttore.idInterruttore }">${interruttore.nomeInterruttore }</option>
  </c:forEach>
</select>

Then the script is
<script>
  $(document).ready(
    function() {
      $('#idPark').change(
        function(event) {
          var parks = $("select#idPark").val();
          $.get('api/floor/park/${park.idPark }', {
            idPark: parks
          }, function(response) {

            var select = $('#idPiano');

            select.find('option').remove();
            $.each(response, function(i, v) {
              $('<option>').val(v.idPiano).text(v.nomePiano).appendTo(select);
              select.change(function(event) {
                var piani = $("select#idPiano").val();
                $.get('api/switch/${piano.idPiano}', {
                  idPiano: piani
                }, function(response) {
                  var select2 = $('#idInterruttore');
                  select2.find('option').remove();
                  $.each(response, function(k, z) {
                    $('option').val(
                        z.idInterruttore).text(
                        z.nomeInterruttore)
                      .appendTo(select2);
                  });
                });
              });
            });
          });
        });
      });
</script>

Basically I try to populate the third list for every object of the second list...

A: You forgot the <> on the option element of the last select when appending
  $(document).ready(
   function() {

     $('#idPark').on('change',function(event) {
       var parks = $(this).val();
       $.get('api/floor/park/${park.idPark }', {
         idPark: parks
       }, function(response) {

         var select = $('#idPiano');

         select.find('option').remove();
         $.each(response, function(i, v) {
           $('<option>').val(v.idPiano).text(v.nomePiano).appendTo(select);

         });
       });
     });

     $('#idPiano').on('change', function(event) {
       var piani = $(this).val();
       $.get('api/switch/${piano.idPiano}', {
         idPiano: piani
       }, function(response) {
         var select2 = $('#idInterruttore');
         select2.find('option').remove();
         $.each(response, function(k, z) {
           $('<option>').val(z.idInterruttore).text(z.nomeInterruttore).appendTo(select2);
         });
       });
     });

Video evidence Antifa was involved in Capitol Hill invasion →
Shredded Georgia senate ballots found complete with Chinese printing invoice
We are receiving information about predicted voter fraud in the Georgia senate run-off by the truckload and a new player has emerged – Italy
by Alexandra Bruce
The Georgia Senatorial run-off election appears to be a repeat of November 3rd, with Dominion machines in three of the largest Republican precincts malfunctioning early in the day and voters told they couldn't scan their own ballots. Poll workers promised to scan the ballots on voters' behalf as soon as the machines were fixed.
There were also reports of 90%+ turnout in Democrat districts, as well as massive ballot dumps.
The US Democrats have made voter fraud an art form as Republican senate candidate David Perdue is ripped off losing 32,000 votes with help from dodgy Dominion voting machines and naturally China
Live on ABC TV, 32,000+ votes were deducted from David Perdue and shredded ballots found in Fulton County, complete with invoices from the ballot printer in China.
At 10PM, just as the GOP candidates began to pull ahead, counties shut down their counting operations, saying they would restart counting at 8AM today.
Meanwhile, Trump supporters going to DC for the Stop the Steal rally will find that not only have all the local businesses been ordered by Mayor Bowser to freeze them out of town but both Google Maps and Apple Maps have canceled their directions services for the DC Metro area!
ALL ROADS LEAD TO ROME
The main breaking story from BlueSkyReport is that Italy was heavily involved in the 2020 Election fraud, in a plan dating back to 2016, during Obama's final State Visit to Italy.
Obama and former Italian Prime Minister, Matteo Renzi reportedly orchestrated the theft of the US election from President Trump, with the help of General Claudio Graziano, who gave the CIA and the State Department access to an Italian military satellite, allowing elections in all US states to be manipulated with "Fractional Magic".
US election data was forwarded from Frankfurt, Germany to Italy where members of MI6, CIA, and the Leonardo group built the algorithms to manipulate US election data.
In other words, Obama and much of Italy's left wing government conspired and colluded to steal Trump's election win. When their efforts failed to overcome Trump's massive turnout, four of the five States were ordered to stop counting.
Graziano is also the head of the European Union Military Committee, which is comprised of all the chiefs of staff of every EU member state. So, if he wasn't acting on his own accord, it suggests that every EU member state is also complicit in the election fraud that has occurred in the 2020 Elections.
All of this is according to articles and videos shared by tech entrepreneur and former Overstock.com CEO, Patrick Byrne, who funded private cyber security teams to monitor the 2020 election and who vouched for the veracity of this story on Twitter.
Former US Deputy Secretary of Defense under Obama, William J. Lynn III led the Department's efforts in cyber security and space strategy. Lynn is also currently the CEO of Leonardo DRS, a US subsidiary of Leonardo with approximately $2 billion in revenue.
This story broke in Italy on December 1, 2020 in the Italian national newspaper, La Verità, with the headline, "Trump's lawyers have no doubts: An Italian hand in pro Biden fraud". The article outlines the alleged operation executed in Rome with the complicity of Italian defense contractor, Leonardo.
This video Zoom call with BlueSkyReport and her supporters gives more of the details in this story and tells of her efforts to get this information in front of President Trump.

EDITORIAL: GOP will have blood on its hands
American Health Care Act a 'victory' that will destroy lives
EDITORIAL: GOP will have blood on its hands American Health Care Act a 'victory' that will destroy lives Check out this story on app.com: http://on.app.com/2pe5tUB
Published 2:33 p.m. ET May 5, 2017 | Updated 4:10 p.m. ET May 5, 2017
President Trump jokes with House Speaker Paul Ryan after the House pushed through a health care bill.(Photo: AP)
Let's be brutally honest about what House Republicans "achieved" on Thursday by passing the American Health Care Act. They killed people. Not yet, but that's coming. More Americans will die because the GOP made it all but impossible for them to afford the medical care they needed, care to which they would have had access under Obamacare.
Everyone who supported the American Health Care Act — all Republicans, of course — will have blood on their hands. That's not hyperbole.
The Affordable Care Act — Obamacare — has undeniable flaws, but it also marked a significant step forward in moving the nation closer to something approaching universal health care. One of the darkest stains on supposed American greatness is the failure to guarantee meaningful health care for its citizens, a service many other nations successfully provide. Obamacare sought to lighten that stain without moving too far in the politically volatile direction of the big-government bogeyman when we would have been better served by a single-payer, Medicare-like system.
MORE: Rampell: No such thing as moderate Republican in Congress
MORE: House passed Obamacare repeal in major victory for GOP
MORE: What does Obamacare repeal actually do?
MORE: After House vote, Senate likely to start over
Many millions obtained health insurance because of Obamacare. But as premiums and deductibles rose and insurers pulled out of markets, critics piled on. Republicans wouldn't consider fixes because they wanted it to fail. They cited individual hot spots as evidence of Obamacare's imminent implosion — all insurers pulling out of much of Iowa, for example — ignoring the fact that they effectively prevented changes that might have headed off some of that trouble.
All to gain what? The tax cut for the wealthy was obviously paramount. Some of those premium and deductible costs may drop now that insurers will again be free to offer junk plans covering little and scrap benefits for essential services. But we don't even know the estimates on the effects since Republicans couldn't even wait for the Congressional Budget Office assessment of the plan.
It's certainly no accident that "affordable" was stripped from the official name of the bill. "Trumpcare" is the obvious working nickname, but "NoCare" would be more accurate. For President Trump's part, it's clear he didn't much care what ended up in the final version as long as he could strut his Art of the Deal strut in the end and have the adoring masses bow to his deal-making genius. He said Medicaid wouldn't be cut; it was cut. Protections for pre-existing conditions have been gutted, even after Trump said that wouldn't happen. Insurers will be able to restore annual and lifetime caps. Many who don't die from Trumpcare will go bankrupt instead. Supporters promote more "access," but access is meaningless if it's unaffordable.
New Jersey's congressional delegation was, on the whole, admirably resistant to the bill. Republicans Leonard Lance, Frank LoBiondo and Chris Smith joined Democrats in opposition. The only New Jersey supporters were Reps. Rodney Frelinghuysen and Tom MacArthur, the latter of whom helped broker a deal with the far-right Freedom Caucus to get the measure through. Frelinghuysen's flip — he opposed the March version of the bill — is especially disheartening for its pitifully weak rationalization that the Senate can now hammer out a better version. Great, let's just all cross our fingers and wish upon a star. Nice work from New Jersey's allegedly most influential congressman.
That, however, is all that's left — hoping that a more narrowly divided Senate does indeed work toward tempering some of the harsher extremes of the House bill — if that's even what Frelinghuysen meant by improving it. New Jersey state lawmakers will also have a role trying to maintain as many patient protections as possible under the law's new provisions. But that won't be easy, or cheap.
This isn't just about differing party philosophies of government spending and free markets. Obamacare's heart was in the right place. Trumpcare bludgeons compassion into dust. The American Health Care Act represents a cold-hearted calculus that certain lives in this country just don't matter enough to protect, that the health of those citizens takes a back seat to assuring that more money stays in the pockets of the wealthy. That's not oversimplifying; that's the core of this act. The complexities surrounding it don't change that fundamental nature.
So congratulations, Republican masters. You win, for now. But the casualties will mount, and the blame will rightly come down upon your heads. We can only hope that you'll all soon pay a massive political price for this travesty.

Why a Comical Book About Slavery? Ask Paul Beatty
Hope Wabuke
Paul Beatty's writing defies categorization. The author's two collections of poetry and three novels have alternately been called satirical, dystopian, absurdist and postmodern. While the closest classification, Beatty himself admits, is absurdist, even that is rather wide of the mark.
Beatty's latest novel, The Sellout, is, on a plot level, the story of Mr. Me, a "not-so-proud descendant of the Kentucky Mees, one of the first black families to settle in southwest Los Angeles," who finds himself in front of the U.S. Supreme Court. The reason? With his decrepit hometown of Dickens suddenly disappeared from the map, Mr. Me has taken it upon himself to reinstall both segregation and slavery to rescue the town from oblivion.
One can easily see the fictitious town's erasure as an allegory for the failure of the U.S. to acknowledge the horror of its enslavement of black Americans, and its attempt, instead, to erase this aspect of history. But the story is much deeper. Through a barrage of astute social commentary—ranging from the figure of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas (oftentimes called a sellout himself, depending on your politics) and the Dred Scott and Plessy v. Ferguson court cases to racial profiling, voting rights, white people who still insist on calling President Barack Obama a monkey, and innumerable, poignant reminders that institutionalized racial violence is alive and well in this present age—Beatty crafts a powerful tale of a young black man trying to make sense of it all.
The Root caught up with Beatty while he was taking a break from New York City for a brief visit to Los Angeles to see family.
The Root: Let's start with the obvious. Why segregation? Why slavery?
Paul Beatty: You know how some people say, "Oh, black people were better off under segregation—we owned this, we owned that. We did this." All that kind of stuff. This weird, reactionary way of thinking, for lack of a better word. And for me it was just interesting to try to push that: What would that look like today?
TR: You began as a poet, publishing two books of poetry. How does poetry influence your fiction writing?
PB: I like writing prose and I think writing poetry is the same thing. The process isn't different. It's just a matter of sitting down and getting what's in my head out on the page.
TR: Your first novel, The White Boy Shuffle, was published in 1996 to critical acclaim. It is the story of a black boy growing up in a white L.A. suburb who then moves to a black suburb and back again, who, like you, is a widely successful poet who studies at Boston University. How autobiographical was this?
PB: Some of it is autobiographical. The character is much more social than I am. Maybe some of the situations are based on real things. The little landmark stuff in the book is autobiographical. I did live in Santa Monica and Venice before moving to L.A. It wasn't an all-black neighborhood, but it was different. I never had a mail-order bride, though.
TR: What was it like growing up in Santa Monica and Venice?
PB: I have fine memories of Santa Monica. We lived right by the beach, and even as little kids we would walk to the beach—my two younger sisters and me.
TR: Did you ever experience racial violence by others because you were a black man?
PB: Yes, of course. Between the police and everything else, it happens. In L.A., of course.
TR: You have been called a "new black" writer, a satirist, an absurdist and postmodern. Do you agree?
PB: I don't think of myself in terms of labels. I'm definitely not a "new black" writer. I'm "new" in a chronological sense, but I'm just trying to get myself out there and not have the same discussion over and over, which I find boring. I'm more comfortable with "absurdist" than "satirist," but I don't think of myself that way.
Hopefully, in my work there are a lot of things that feel real. I think people throw those words around because my writing is not easy to categorize. I'm interested in trying to create space as a thinker, as a doer in the world.
TR: What themes would you say run through your novels?
PB: A little love in there. Friendship, the value of friendship. What multiculturalism feels like on a day-to-day basis, not on a news … basis or a curriculum basis.
TR: You write about race, albeit with satire and humor. How easy or difficult is it to talk about race in America?
PB: People say all this stuff as a way to avoid saying anything. Some things are hard to talk about. It's just a fact. I still think that people do talk about it. But I don't like the phrase people say: "We're going to come to the table … " What's at the table? It's the way that people talk about talking about race that for me is the problem, not the way people talk about race. I don't think it's supposed to be an easy conversation.
TR: In The Sellout, you have the character of a black man who owns a slave and wants to bring back segregation between whites and blacks in America. How do you respond to critics who say that this character creates a false narrative relating to the very real violence against blacks in America, particularly black men, who are disproportionately victims of violence by the police and state?
PB: People do that. I'm not a person to tell people how to read something. You have to read the book.
TR: What is your favorite thing about writing?
PB: When you finish the book, there is a sense of relief and accomplishment. It wasn't something I ever thought I would do.

I ended up with this method, since I found the traditional ways of presenting energy usage data far from intuitive, and the other ways didn't give me any feeling whatsoever about what really was going on.
My personal opinion about those graphs is that they completely miss to convey the most important piece of information: how your energy usage depends on temperature, and how you differ from your expected consumption at your current temperature.
Luckily, my energy provider also had a table with energy consumption per month and average monthly temperatures. The main drawback with their table is that you can't easily compare energy usage between different months unless the mean temperature was identical. We can fix their table (shown below) by turning it into something more intuitive and descriptive.
What I wanted was a way to be able to compare energy consumption between different years. My solution was simply to plot energy consumption vs temperature in a graph. To me, it feels like the only sensible way to visualize the data, since the only real correlation we have is between temperature and energy consumption. The months will end up shuffled in the graph (depending on average temperature), but that's the way they are supposed to end up.
I expected to get some really interesting graphs, since there have been a couple of changes to the heating system during the last years.
Until 2011, we had electrical radiators in the apartments in our area. That's quite an energy inefficient solution, as shown in the graph below.
Each point in the graph corresponds to a month, and the dots position depend on average monthly temperature and monthly energy consumption.
There is a very clear and linear relationship between average outside temperature and energy consumption.
The dotted line in the graph is a least squares fit of all the data points.
a straight line is a good approximation to the energy usage of my apartment.
The line model works up to July (21.1 degrees C), but not for higher outside temperatures. The reason for that is that I still consume about the same amount of base electricity for everything else than room heating even if it would be 25 degrees C outside.
The equation of this line (kWh/month = 1568.5 - 66.6 * "average outside temperature") can be used to calculate the expected energy consumption for any given outside temperature. You can immediately see that I would have used 1568.5 kWh/month if it was zero degrees outside constantly.
For each degree C that the outside temperature drops, we will use 66.6 additional kWh/month.
I want to emphasize the last point one more time: The slope of the fitted line tells us the change in energy consumption per unit change in temperature. In a simplified world, this would mean that the slope would be identical for the same apartment but with a different indoor temperature. The only thing that would happen to the graph would be that everything gets shifted the right (higher indoor temperature for the new situation), or to the left (lower indoor temperature for the new situation).
In my case, increasing the indoor temperature by one degree would use an additional 66.6 kWh/month every month regardless of the outdoor temperature. My logic behind that is that the heating system can't know the difference between increasing the indoor temperature by one degree, or decreasing the outdoor temperature by one degree.
This would mean that the heating "performance" could be boiled down to a single number, the slope of the curve (66.6 kWh/month in my case). And that number would still be valid if you compare the same apartment to itself with identical conditions, or if you compare your apartment to a similar one but a few degrees hotter or colder, or if you even would compare your apartment to another apartment with fewer or more people in it.
In the spring of 2011, we got a new heating system. It looks like it worked as expected during maybe part of Mars and April, but after that, the performance dropped down to numbers looking worse than the old electric radiator system!
There were no warning signs at all. It was first in the winter one and a half to two years later that I noticed it. At that point, the heat exchanger suddenly refused to run, and defaulted to only using direct electric heating.
It turned out that the reason was a tiny gas leakage in the cooling circuit. Too bad that the heat exchanger didn't detect it until almost two years after it had occurred.
One interesting thing to note is that the energy consumption for June, July, and August were practically identical. I would say that the curve above maybe 17 degree average outside temperature don't follow the fitted line anymore (by looking at this and all later graphs). For such high temperatures the fit look more like an almost horizontal line, so they should in my case be excluded by the line fit. If this would happen and at which temperature it would happen depend on a lot of factors, so use your own judgment if you are looking at this kind of graphs. The data points I've excluded are shown within brackets in the graph.
2013 was the first year when the new heating system worked as expected.
I usually turn off all radiators manually when it starts to be too hot during the summer. I could have turned off the circulation pump, but even though this heat exchanger still would run that pump for a short time every day (to prevent it from getting stuck), some house owners don't dare, since it can be troublesome to start it again if it has been standing still for too long.
From now on, the ventilation in the apartment was reduced quite a lot. At zero degree C outside temperature, the energy usage dropped from 1014.2 to 898.9 kWh/month, which corresponds to an energy saving of 115 kWh/month, or 11%. If we look at 10 degrees average outside temperature instead, the difference in kWh/month is 56 kWh/month, which correspond to a 10% saving. Unfortunately, I didn't pay attention to when they adjusted the airflow in the bath room. Otherwise, it might have been possible to figure out how much of the heating energy which is used to heat incoming air, and how much of the heating energy that escapes to the outside through walls, windows, the roof, and so on.
I don't have any suggestions for people living outside of Sweden. You would have to use your imagination. A bunch of people have weather stations which are connected to the Internet, and you might have one of those in your area.
If you do happen to live in Sweden, things would be simpler. You can browse the SMHI (Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute) website. They have a "Ladda ner data" section, where statistics for any of their active temperature measurement stations can be downloaded.
For me, but probably not for most people, it would make sense to model the apartment as a heat sink. A typical heat sink is shown in the image below.
A heat sink doesn't have to be more than a good heat conductor, which typically is used to dissipate heat from one point (such as the TESLA transistor in the image), to the ambient air.
Heat sinks are usually characterized by one coefficient with the unit degrees Celsius per Watt. That coefficient describes how much the heat sink would heat up if one watt of power was applied to it continuously. (The temperature increase is measured at the surface between the heating element and the heat sink).
One thing to consider is that the we could only measure the real applied indoor power back in the days when we had electrical radiators (i.e. the data back from 2010). Once heating of the apartment was converted to also used the air to water heat exchanger, the efficiency of conversion from electricity to heat goes far above unity. I have no data for the current heat pump, but we might get almost twice the energy out of the system than we put in in the form of electricity. For most intents and purposes, one could still use our heatsink analogy. (You would only get problems if you would try to calculate things such as the average thermal resistance of your walls, roof, windows, and everything else facing the outside).
Our slope for 2010 was 66.6 (kWh / month) per degree C. There is on average 730.5 hours per month, so (h/month) = 1/730.5 .
We could therefore reformulate our slope as 66.6*(1/730.5) = 0.0912 kW per degree C, or 91.2 Watt per degree C.
Inverting both sides to get the same unit as a heat sink, we would have 0.010968 degrees C per Watt.
That basically tells us that heating the inside of the apartment by one Watt will increase the temperature by 0.01 degrees C.
It would have been interesting to go deeper into the physics of heat transfer, energy required to heat air, expected losses through different parts of the building, and so on, but this will have to do for now.

"Every actor would love to get a chance, at least once in his life, to play a real-life character."
Walt Disney Studios has expanded its horizons to India with an uplifting sports film starring John Hamm (Mad Men), Suraj Sharma (Life of Pi) and Madhur Mittal (Slumdog Millionaire).
With a highly talented cast, Million Dollar Arm is directed by Craig Gilespie and features music by A. R. Rahman.
Following Disney's train of real-life inspirational films that warm you to the core, Million Dollar Arm is based on the true story of J. B. Bernstein (played by John Hamm), an independent American sports agent who in 2008, finds himself travelling to uninhibited India to recruit avid cricket lovers to become baseball pitchers.
Bernstein decides to set up a talent competition called 'Million Dollar Arm' to see the kind of talent India has to offer, and after 37,000 contestants, he whittles down two young lads from a rural village, called Rinku (played by Suraj Sharma) and Dinesh (played by Madhur Mittal).
These two young men have exactly the 'million dollar arms' that Bernstein and his team are looking for and he takes them back to America and tries them out for Major League Baseball. But taking cricket players and making them play professional baseball is not as easy as it sounds, and the unfamiliarity takes each of the characters on a challenging journey where they discover more about themselves.
Disney have done well in hand-picking Indian actors that have the right clout for both Western and South Asian audiences. With such blockbusters under their belt, both Suraj and Madhur have the right maturity to play characters that exist in real life. As Madhur explains:
"It's a great challenge to get to play a real-life character. Every actor would love to get a chance, at least once in his life, to play a real-life character.
"What was great was that Craig [Gillespie] gave us that little bit of freedom to take the characters and interpret them in our own way while staying true to certain traits."
The real Rinku Singh and Dinesh Patel have lived an incredible story and are the 'first Indian players to play professional baseball in America', and Suraj and Madhur are not the token Indians playing them:
"In Hollywood often, we're thought of as 'You're playing an Indian' and that's how deep it goes. But [Indians] are much deeper than their culture. Our characters are deeply different people in their characteristics just like anyone else," Suraj explains.

Star of the period TV series, Mad Men, John Hamm says: "I'm a massive baseball fan and it's a true story that I had not heard of. But the story is inspiring and aspirational as well."
"Baseball serves as the backdrop to the story that we tell about two guys who are given this wonderful opportunity to find a new path."
To keep the authenticity of the film, both Suraj and Madhur had very little interaction with baseball prior to the film and had to learn on the job: "This is the most physically demanding role I have ever played. This has been very hard in the sense that to train physically – first to buff up and then later do baseball training," says Madhur.
The legendary, A. R. Rahman has yet again has out done himself with the music soundtrack of the film, and as he explains, has tried to keep the fast-paced sports theme running on two very different continents with very different cultures. While he performs the majority of the tracks himself, he has also collaborated with Western artists including, Iggy Azalea, KT Tunstall, and Wale. Sukhwinder Singh and Raghav Mathur also feature:
"I've never done a sports movie before, I thought it would be an interesting challenge. I wanted energy, heart and everything so a mix of both of these elements. The movie travels, it goes from India back to the US, and making music co-serve as one, that was the tough part," Rahman admits.
For most involved, the movie is more of a human story than it is a sports film. As Madhur explains: "The fabric of the story is about the underdogs, the two kids, it's just an amazing story and I think it will do really well in India."
John adds: "It's not traditionally about sports – it's not about the big game – it's a little more of a story about people and how they relate to one another, especially as the story goes on and we realise his [Bernstein] character is learning a lot about himself as well."
Interestingly, India has already seen a close connection to the West with so many Bollywood stars having gone to Hollywood. Bollywood beauty, Priyanka Chopra became a household name for role in Disney Pixar's Planes, and both Irrfan Khan and Anil Kapoor have made a mark just like Suraj and Madhur.
As Rahman says: "In a way this movie is not alien anymore, because we meet different people, Indians meet Americans, Americans meet Indians, we all know about each other, taste of food, culture, music and everything. So it's a really interesting time for this movie to come in, I think people will really relate to this."
With so much backing behind this heart-warming film, it is difficult not to believe that it will be an outstanding success. Million Dollar Arm sees its UK Premiere at the London Indian Film Festival on July 14 and releases nationwide from August 29.

Applied Operational Excellence for the Oil, Gas, and Process Industries
Dennis P. Nolan and Eric T Anderson
Gulf Professional Publishing, 2016.
Applied Operational Excellence for the Oil, Gas, and Process Industries offers a straightforward practical guide for oil and gas companies to understand the comparisons and contrasts between various types of safety management processes, including the standardized structure and ongoing extended benefits that operational excellence can bring to an oil and gas company.
The goal of achieving operational excellence is to reduce costs, improve productivity, and enhance efficiency—in other words, operational excellence contributes to the bottom line. Following along with pre-built success in the process industries, many companies in the oil and gas industry appear to use a subset form of operational excellence, yet many are unsure or unaware of all the safety system components that will truly benefit the company holistically, and current literature is only applicable to the process and manufacturing industries.
Packed with clear objectives and tools, structure guidelines specific to oil and gas, and guidance for how to imbed your existing safety program under the operational excellence umbrella known as "One-Step Merger," this book will help you establish an overall safety culture vision and challenge your organization to achieve higher levels of safety management and overall company value.
Explores how to solidify a foundational operational excellence program applicable for your oil and gas company
Clarifies the differences and benefits among various programs under operational excellence (OE), such as SHE (safety, health, and environment), PSM (process safety management), and SMS (safety management system)
Explains how to audit and consistently assess how oil and gas OE systems are planned, implemented, and managed, with explanations on cost and time impacts as well as administrative protocols
Includes a glossary, acronym appendix, and additional references for further reading

Classifications and Historical Studies
Wolf, K. H.
Resumen (en inglés): Classifications and Historical Studies is a collection of papers dealing with theoretical and applied ore petrology. One paper discusses the use of conceptual models in geology such as the diagrammatic/pictorial, the flow-chart, and the tabular types of conceptualizations. Another paper describes some transitional types of mineral deposits in volcanic and sedimentary rocks. Concentrations of copper minerals and commonly associated metals form deposits associated with orogenic belts and cratonic regions. The paper points out that many major groups of mineral deposits grade into other groups through occurrences with intermediate or transitional characteristics. It suggests a classification method of mineral deposits based on the observable features of the mineral deposits rather than their inferred genesis. One paper reviews the theory of magmatic—hydrothermal replacement origin of stratiform sulfide ore bodies. The review covers concepts of certain major ore deposits as being independent and isolated phenomena to regarding a wide range of deposits as contemporaneous, indigenous, and related to their environments. Another paper points out that according to North American geologists, certain types of ore deposits are formed syngenetically and are subjected to the same metamorphic events that affect the ores in which they are enclosed. The collection can be valuable to researchers, technical designers, or engineers whose works are related with oil refinery and fossil fuels, as well as to students majoring in geology.
Clean Coal Engineering Technology
Miller, Bruce G.
Butterworth-Heinemann, 2010.
Resumen (en inglés): Concern over the effects of airborne pollution, green house gases, and the impact of global warming has become a worldwide issue that transcends international boundaries, politics, and social responsibility. The 2nd Edition of Coal Energy Systems: Clean Coal Technology describes a new generation of energy processes that sharply reduce air emissions and other pollutants from coal-burning power plants.
Coal is the dirtiest of all fossil fuels. When burned, it produces emissions that contribute to global warming, create acid rain, and pollute water. With all of the interest and research surrounding nuclear energy, hydropower, and biofuels, many think that coal is finally on its way out. However, coal generates half of the electricity in the United States and throughout the world today. It will likely continue to do so as long as it's cheap and plentiful [Source: Energy Information Administration]. Coal provides stability in price and availability, will continue to be a major source of electricity generation, will be the major source of hydrogen for the coming hydrogen economy, and has the potential to become an important source of liquid fuels. Conservation and renewable/sustainable energy are important in the overall energy picture, but will play a lesser role in helping us satisfy our energy demands today. Dramatically updated to meet the needs of an ever changing energy market, Coal Energy Systems, 2nd Edition is a single source covering policy and the engineering involved in implementing that policy. The book addresses many coal-related subjects of interest ranging from the chemistry of coal and the future engineering anatomy of a coal fired plant to the cutting edge clean coal technologies being researched and utilized today. A 50% update over the first edition, this new book contains new chapters on processes such as CO2 capture and sequestration, Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) systems, Pulverized-Coal Power Plants and Carbon Emission Trading.
Existing materials on worldwide coal distribution and quantities, technical and policy issues regarding the use of coal, technologies used and under development for utilizing coal to produce heat, electricity, and chemicals with low environmental impact, vision for utilizing coal well into the 21st century, and the security coal presents.

What Is a Microwave Safe Container?
By Rachel Lovejoy Updated September 26, 2017
A microwave safe container is a receptacle that can safely cook or heat foods in a microwave oven without leaching harmful substances into the food. It can withstand the high temperatures without buckling or melting.
Safe Containers
Only certain containers are safe to use in a microwave.
The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) lists containers considered safe to use in microwave ovens. They include any that are labeled for microwave use, heatproof glass like Pyrex or Anchor Hocking, glass-ceramic containers such as Corning Ware, and most plain white paper plates.
Unsafe Containers
The USDA warns against using certain containers in a microwave oven. That list includes commercial storage containers such as margarine, cottage cheese and yogurt tubs, brown paper bags, foam, china with metallic ornamentation, or any container made from metal or that contains metal parts.
According to the American Frozen Food Institute, microwave ovens convert electricity into short waves. These waves penetrate the foods, and the friction caused by the rapidly moving food molecules generates heat. When cooking foods with a high fat content, the fat can get so hot that it can cause an unsuitable container, such as some plastics, to melt.
The Environmental Health Institute of Nova Scotia reports that a chemical called Bisphenol A, or BPA, is present in some plastics considered safe to use in microwave ovens. The study points to research done in 2006 by Frederick vom Saal, who theorized that microwaving food in plastic containers may increase the transference of BPA into food.
