HOOKSETT, New Hampshire (November 13, 2018) – The Stonehill College ice hockey team dropped a Northeast-10 Conference battle to Southern New Hampshire University Tuesday night at the Ice Den with a score of 4-1.
For Stonehill, (0-3-0, 0-2-0 NE10) Connor Jewett chipped in his third goal of the season and second power-play goal of his career with assists from Colin Quinn and Jack Hall, while freshman Chase McKay appeared in his first game in net recording 28 saves.
Stonehill outshot Southern N.H. 11-8 in the first period, as the Skyhawks won 15 faceoffs to the Penmen's 13. Stonehill came out firing after the initial face off and Southern N.H. was called for the first penalty of the game at 4:33, but the Skyhawks were unable to capitalize as no shots were fired in the penalty. The Penmen were called for their second penalty at 8:50 and the Skyhawks tallied four shots including three in a span of seven seconds. Both teams saw one more penalty before the first period ended, as neither were able to find the back of the net.
Forty three seconds into the second period, the Penmen saw the first shot of the frame by Max Kent that was fired just left of the cage, which bounced off the boards and Jake Cox put back the rebound as Kyle Galloway dished the puck to him for Cox's first goal of the game. Southern N.H. continued slapping the dish at the net, and they ended up cutting the deficit of shots to three, 19-22, but the Penmen's Cox wrapped the puck around McKay's pads after a fake to the left at 9:34 for a 2-0 lead and his second goal of the game with helpers from Galloway and Cole Stewart.
Southern N.H. continued putting pressure on Stonehill throughout the third period, as Cox extended the Penmen's lead with a shorthanded goal at 17:32 with assists from Brett Strawn and Joseph Berardi that came from the right side of the cage. Less than 30-seconds later, Stonehill's Jewett tipped in an initial shot from Quinn from the left side of the cage to cut the deficit to two, 3-1, at 18:00 on a power-play goal. Stonehill pulled McKay with less than two minutes remaining and Southern N.H. capitalized on an empty net opportunity as Andy Somerville won the faceoff in their defensive third and Joe Fiorino chipped the puck to Ryan Spagnoli who sent the dish down the ice for the fourth goal of game, 4-1.
Stonehill will host NE10 foe Franklin Pierce University on Saturday, November 17 at 5:10 p.m. at Foxboro Sports Center.

The KoverRoos outdoor sofa cover is the ultimate in furniture protection. The material, design, and construction, are simply the best on the market. Outdoor furniture covers need to breathe so that moisture can escape, keeping mold and mildew from developing under the cover. Koverroos use technologically advanced materials that are one-way breathable - so moisture can evaporate right through the fabric, but water, dust and dirt can-feett get in. Koverroos covers are stronger than most vinyl covers, yet light weight. This means our covers are easy to use - no struggling to get them on and off. Also, these patio furniture covers are able to handle temperatures from -100 degrees Fahrenheit up to +240 degrees. The KoverRoos III Loveseat/Sofa Cover is appropriate for most weather conditions as it maintains all of the great features of Dupont Tyvek; however, KoverRoos III offers better durability, good for slightly harsher or windier climates. Lightweight and easy to put on and remove, these covers have a soft inner layer that is gentle on your furniture-feets finish. KoverRoos III patio furniture covers score 4 out of 5 in breathability, 5 out of 5 in dirt and dust protection, 5 out of 5 in mold and mildew protection, 4 out of 5 in rain protection, 3 out of 5 in durability, 4 out of 5 in ease of storage, and 4 out of 5 in color retention. The competition (PVC Coated Polyester) score 2 out of 5 in breathability, 4 out of 5 in dirt and dust protection, 2 out of 5 in mold and mildew protection, 4 out of 5 in rain protection, 3 out of 5 in durability, 2 out of 5 in ease of storage, and 2 out of 5 in color retention.

A municipal bond secured by the creditworthiness of a private business rather than a government entity. These bonds are issued by local governments to attract new businesses or help local businesses expand. Such bonds offer the usual tax-exempt interest, but are generally considered riskier than bonds secured by the full taxing power of a stable, solvent local government.

Q: Unpacking "the rest" of the elements in list comprehension - python3to2 In Python 3, I could use for i, *items in tuple to isolate the first time from the tuple and the rest into items, e.g.:
>>> x = [(2, '_', 'loves', 'love', 'VBZ', 'VBZ', '_', '0', 'ROOT', '_', '_'), (1, '_', 'John', 'John', 'NNP', 'NNP', '_', '2', 'nsubj', '_', '_'), (3, '_', 'Mary', 'Mary', 'NNP', 'NNP', '_', '2', 'dobj', '_', '_'), (4, '_', '.', '.', '.', '.', '_', '2', 'punct', '_', '_')]
>>> [items for n, *items in sorted(x)]
[['_', 'John', 'John', 'NNP', 'NNP', '_', '2', 'nsubj', '_', '_'], ['_', 'loves', 'love', 'VBZ', 'VBZ', '_', '0', 'ROOT', '_', '_'], ['_', 'Mary', 'Mary', 'NNP', 'NNP', '_', '2', 'dobj', '_', '_'], ['_', '.', '.', '.', '.', '_', '2', 'punct', '_', '_']]

I need to backport this to Python 2 and I can't use the * pointer to collect the rest of the items in the tuple.

*

*What is the equivalent in Python 2?

*Is it still possible to achieve the same using the list comprehension?

*What is the technical name for this * usage? Unpacking? Isolating? Pointers?

*Is there a __future__ import that can be used such that I can use the same syntax in Python 2?

A: Just use slicing to skip the first element:
[all_items[1:] for all_items in sorted(x)]

The syntax is referred to extended tuple unpacking, where the *-prefixed name is called the catch-all name. See PEP 3132. There is no backport of the syntax.

Welcome to the 407th episode of Our Hen House!
Jasmin talks with Ari Nessel about activism, the benefits of meditation, and his new organization 50by40. After an epiphany in 1997 changed the way Ari related to food, his heart opened up to the impact every person's life has on countless beings and the world at large. Soon after this insight, Ari had a vision of himself attaining all of his worldly goals and dreams (aka the American Dream), yet still feeling empty inside. Thus began his journey, which has culminated in the development of The Pollination Project. In Ari's day job he oversees a real estate re-development company that focuses on the triple bottom line of people, planet and profit. He shares with his wife, Becky, a doctor who cares for underserved populations, the desire to serve others and act as a role model for their two young boys. Ari also leads meditation and yoga workshops and actively experiences the challenges of being a modern-day yogi, and the delusion that life can be compartmentalized into separate boxes such as family, work, hobbies/exercise and spirit. As a committed peace activist, Ari remains constantly challenged to live his life in alignment with his values, and to utilize the numerous privileges he has been given to turn seeds into blossom and blossom into fruit.
Mariann interviews author and illustrator Nicole Georges about her new graphic memoir, Fetch: How a Bad Dog Brought Me Home. Nicole J. Georges is a writer, illustrator, podcaster & professor. Her Lambda Award-winning graphic memoir, Calling Dr. Laura, was called "engrossing, lovable, smart and ultimately poignant" by Rachel Maddow, and was an Official Selection at the Angoulême International Comics Festival. Nicole does a weekly queer feminist art podcast called Sagittarian Matters, and is currently on a dog-themed book tour in support of Fetch.
Mariann covers News and Rising Anxieties, too!
As always, the award-winning weekly Our Hen House podcast is hosted by Mariann Sullivan and Jasmin Singer.
This episode is brought to you in part through the generosity of A Well-Fed World. A Well-Fed World is a hunger relief and animal protection organization chipping away at two of the world's most immense, unnecessary and unconscionable forms of suffering… the suffering of people hungry from lack of food, and the suffering of animals used and abused for food. Mending our unjust food system is a critical part of solving the world's most destructive and persistent problems. Fortunately, the plant-based foods that promote health and well-being are the same foods that conserve resources to better feed the world, while reducing greenhouse gas emissions and protecting the environment. A Well-Fed World provides the means for change by empowering individuals, social justice organizations, and political decision makers to embrace the benefits of plant-based foods and farming.

DIA aims to be more inclusive of allies, partners in MARS system
Defense Intelligence Agency leaders are working to remove NOFORN from the systems and lexicon of the agency to make the U.S. a more effective sharer of information with allied partners.
Defense Intelligence Agency Director Lt. Gen. Robert P. Ashley, Jr. speaks during the opening of the Department of Defense Intelligence Information System Worldwide Conference, Aug. 19, 2019, at the Tampa Convention Center, in Florida. (David Richards / DIA)
Defense Intelligence Agency leadership has grown tired of the limitations of the proprietary systems and information labeled NOFORN — military-speak for "no foreign nationals," a type of classified material that can't be shared with allies and other coalition partners.
"Take the words 'proprietary' and 'NOFORN' out of your lexicon — we cannot do that," Lt. Gen. Robert Ashley, DIA director, said Monday in Tampa, Florida, at the annual DoDIIS Worldwide Conference. "We have got to be able to share with our allies and partners."
To combat those limitations, DIA is developing its next-generation data environment MARS, short for Machine-Assisted Analytic Rapid-Repository System, with its allies to foster better information sharing. The system, built around advances in cloud computing, machine learning and artificial intelligence, will form the basis for more quickly delivering better intelligence information to coalition warfighters in combat.
But rather than delivering a system to allied partners, who will also depend on the sharing of information within that system, Ashley said with MARS, DIA has brought in its closest allied partners at the engineering level to help build it.
"As we look at the basic tenets and the foundation of MARS to some of our closest partners what we've done is we said 'This is how this is going to operate. What do you have in your infrastructure now? I need to share some basic information, some data with you so you can start working at the engineering level. Oh, by the way, all those machine learning apps, other things, you may have a better mousetrap then the one I'm working on,'" Ashley explained.
DIA CIO Jack Gumtow similarly has recently been driving defense intelligence systems away from the limitations of NOFORN classification.
"We don't fight as an individual nation," he said. "We fight as a coalition of warriors wherever that happens to be. We work together as a coalition. I can't even separate that from my being."
He said Monday that since taking over as CIO last summer, he's revised the Joint Worldwide Intelligence Communications System (JWICS) security classification guide, red-lining NOFORN throughout the document.
Doing so, Gumtow said, doesn't put the nation any more at risk. "If our partners find out we have a problem on a JWICS node somewhere, have we compromised national security? Guess what — we didn't. They're our partners."
"It's just a mindset change that we all have to adopt that we're not in this little bubble ourselves," he said. "We have to work in this partner coalition, and it just plain-out makes sense."

The 10th issue of Hakusensha's Young Animal magazine revealed on Friday that the previously announced live-action adaptation of Aki Katsu's Futari Ecchi (Futari H) romantic comedy manga will be both a film and an online project. The manga follows an inexperienced couple and their comic adventures as they explore intimacy with each other. Each project will have separate casts, and both projects will be released this summer.
Director Kazuhiro Yokoyama's film version will star Yūri Morishita and Riki Miura (Here is Greenwood) as the couple Yura and Makoto Onoda. Other cast members include Miyuki Yokoyama as Rika Kawada, Atsushi Ninomiya as Yūsuke Nagatsuka, Aimi Nakamura (GTO: Great Teacher Onizuka) as Makie Sugiyama, Hideki Nakamatsu as Manabu Okahama, Hidehiko Emi as Kōichirō Matsuzaki, Takahiro Ochi as Yosaku Inagaki and Mika Kubota as Mai Nagao. Juri Sanemura is writing the screenplay.
The net version will star Nana Nanaumi and Shinnosuke Fukushima as the main couple Yura and Makoto. Other cast members include Takaso Kase as Akira Onoda, Sasa Handa (Tokyo University Story) as Sanae Onoda, Marumi Shiraishi as Akiko Onoda, Ayaka Tomoda as Rika Kawada, YUKIO as Taku Yamada, Natsumi Kamata (Phone Braver 7) as Jun Onoda, Rakuto Tochihara (Kamen Rider Hibiki) as Yōsuke Inoue, Saki Seto (Hana Yori Dango 2 [Returns]) as Miyuki Kikuchi, Yukiko Suō as Makie Sugiyama, and Tarō Suwa as Makoto's boss Katori.
More information will be made available in future issues of Young Animal and Young Animal Arashi .
Aki Katsu (Psychic Academy, The Vision of Escaflowne) has been drawing the manga, which describes itself as a "love bible" or a "user's manual" for people in love, in Young Animal and Young Animal Arashi since 1997. Hakusensha published the manga's 49th compiled book volume in Japan in February, and the manga has sold 23 million copies so far. Tokyopop published the manga in North America under the name Manga Sutra - Futari H before announcing that it would close its North American publishing operations.
Media Blasters released the 2002-2004 original video anime adaptation of the same manga under the name Step Up Love Story. There was a previous live-action television mini-series adaptation of the manga in 2003.

The Basics of False Imprisonment in Florida
Blog December 31, 2016
False imprisonment can come as something of a surprise to those who have been charged with the crime, in Florida and elsewhere. Oftentimes, the defendant does not realize that they must have legal authority (or must be otherwise legally privileged) in order to keep another person confined or restrained against their will.
For example, a retail store owner may have security guard employees hold a customer against their Will for a lengthy period of time until they can determine that the customer has not shoplifted items. In determining whether these acts constitute "false imprisonment," the court will have to evaluate whether the store owner had the legal authority to restrain the customer against their will (under the circumstances).
There remain a number of misconceptions about false imprisonment. Many are unaware that they can be charged with false imprisonment for simply grabbing someone and keeping them restrained against their will. Many others mistakenly believe that false imprisonment is only a minor crime, but in Florida, false imprisonment is a third-degree felony that may be punished by up to five years in prison and a fine of up to $5,000.
With effective legal representation, the sentence of imprisonment may — under certain circumstances — be made into a period of probation.
As false imprisonment can be somewhat difficult to understand, let's zoom in for a quick look at the fundamentals.
Fundamentals of False Imprisonment
In Florida, false imprisonment is defined in section 787.02 of the Florida Statutes. False imprisonment is fundamentally a crime involving the deprivation of personal liberty (i.e., the freedom of movement). Pursuant to the statute, a false imprisonment charge must stand where the defendant:
Forcibly, by threat, or in secret confined, abducted, imprisoned, or restrained another person against his or her will, and
Acted without lawful authority.
Though false imprisonment frequently involves the use of physical force — such as the use of a hand gripping on a customer's arm to restrain them and prevent them from leaving a retail store premises — it need not actually involve force. A reasonable threat of force, or the threat of arrest, is sufficient for a false imprisonment charge.
Lawful authority can be difficult to establish. Police, for example, are clearly granted the authority necessary to confine or restrain an individual against their will. The average citizen, on the other hand, may not necessarily be authorized to restrain another against their will. As such, making a successful defense to false imprisonment often involves an assertion that the defendant was authorized or otherwise privileged to restrain the victim.
Common Defenses to False Imprisonment
Defenses to false imprisonment include, but are not necessarily limited, to:
Acting in self-defense
Victim consented to restraint
Victim was not actually restrained or confined (i.e., they were free to leave if they wished to do so)
Shopkeeper's privilege (if there is probable cause of theft, merchants have the authority to detain a person for a reasonable length of time until law enforcement is available)

        new_name=request.POST.get('new_name').strip() # get new name
        categorie=Category.objects.get(title=old_name) # get category by title (pk)
        categorie.title=new_name # update the title
        categorie.save() # save to the database

return HttpResponseRedirect('/admin/Category_Management)

For example, if I try to change category "Technology" to "Computer Science", django creates a new category called "Computer Science" instead of updating "Technology"
This is my category model
class Category(models.Model):
    class Meta:
        verbose_name='Catégorie'
        verbose_name_plural='Catégories'

    title=models.CharField(primary_key=True,max_length=50,null=False,blank=False,verbose_name='Titre')

    def __str__(self):
        return self.title.title()

A: Why did you set title primary_key=True? Is there any special reason?
Django automatically create primary key(pk). Check here (https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.0/topics/db/models/#automatic-primary-key-fields)
Change your model to below
class Category(models.Model):
    class Meta:
        verbose_name='Catégorie'
        verbose_name_plural='Catégories'

    title=models.CharField(max_length=50,null=False,blank=False,verbose_name='Titre')

    def __str__(self):
        return self.title.title()

Then you can use your view exactly the same way.
p.s.
The pk shouldn't change. If you change your pk and save it again, it will save to other model object. For example,
category = Category.objects.get(title='test')
category.id = None
category.title = 'new test'
category.save() # it will make another category, with title 'new test'


I can't believe that in just a couple of weeks, I'll be able to call myself a Binghamton University alumna. It seems not too long ago that I transferred here from New Paltz and was hauling my stuff into Endicott, room 224. Since then, I've grown to love Binghamton and all the opportunity it has given me.
I began as an opera performance major, but will graduate with a degree in social media marketing -- yeah, they let me create my own major. I've met amazing people from around the world, professors and advisors have become friends, and I have even been fortunate enough to help manage the University's social media pages. All in all, the past three years only affirmed my belief that Binghamton University truly is the "Premier Public University in the Northeast."
With this bucket list, I say farewell to Binghamton, and congratulations to the Class of 2015 -- we did it!!!

\section{Introduction}

Gravity obviously plays a role in human motor control, but it is not easy to isolate. On one hand, the perception and internal representation of gravity in the brain results from a widely distributed sensory process, including the vestibular system, vision, and somatosensory information \cite{white20}. On the other hand, the constant immersive nature of the body in the Earth gravitational field calls for holistic experimental approaches in contrast to focused interventions on isolated body parts. In these settings, participants are exposed to variable gravito-inertial fields generated by human centrifuges or parabolic flights. The rationale behind these experimental approaches rest on Einstein's equivalence principle (see \textit{e.g.} \cite{Einstein:1916vd,Wald:106274}): Physics in an accelerated spacecraft (1g) is undistinguishable from physics on the ground. It does, however, not mean that the brain does not attempt to identify the possible different sources that give rise to the same consequences. Beyond the brain's role, it is well-known that variable gravity induces various changes in human physiology, typically at the cardiovascular \cite{Aubert16}, neural \cite{White16} and musculoskeletal levels \cite{Lang17}. In the present work, we do not focus on a particular physiological aspect but rather adopt a global (bio)mechanical point of view. Our main goal is to show that tools derived from mechanics may lead to conserved measurable parameters that the brain can exploit to plan and execute actions instead of relying on an estimate of gravity acquired through a noisy and distributed process.

Finding such conserved quantities demands to know the underlying dynamics, which is not an easy task in human motion where a same -- even simple -- action requires sometimes very different motor commands. For instance, consider reaching for a cup of coffee on the breakfast table or in an aircraft subject to turbulences, or drinking while seated or while walking. Planning efficient actions is challenging for the brain. It is therefore natural that the central nervous system relies on constants in this jungle of variability. Previous research demonstrated that some classes of actions result from an optimization process in which movements features are taken into account, such as minimizing jerk \cite{viviani95}, metabolic cost \cite{alexander97,berniker} or maintaining a nearly constant mechanical energy in level walking \cite{cavagna}. Here we study rhythmic motion in time-changing gravity as a peculiar case of time-dependent dynamical system with bounded motion. The most powerful tools known so far to study such systems are adiabatic invariants \cite{L&L,henrard,Jose}. They have been applied in a wide range of applications such as plasma physics \cite{notte93} and cosmology \cite{cotsakis98}. In biomechanics, several studies have showed the invariance of the action variable in time-independent conditions \cite{TUR,kugler:1990,turvey:1996,kadar:1993}. In a previous work, we went a step further and proposed to use adiabatic invariants to study the changes in the motion of upper arm rhythmic movements about the elbow at free pace and amplitude in a centrifuge where the perceived gravity's intensity changed stepwise from 1 to 3 $g$ and from 3 back to 1 $g$ \cite{PhysRevE.102.062403}. The direction of $\vec g$ was unchanged. It appeared that the behaviour of the  adiabatic invariant $I = \frac{1}{2\pi}\oint_{\Gamma} P\, dQ$ computed from the latter one-degree-of-freedom motion was compatible with a theoretically predicted linear increase with $g$ \cite{Boulanger:2018tue}.

An obvious direction to generalize the framework of Ref. \cite{PhysRevE.102.062403} is that of motions involving more than 1 degree of freedom. We first show in Sec. \ref{sec:model} that a linear link between the adiabatic invariant and $g$ is expected for any potential energy, only assuming a separable dynamics. Our model is then applied to analyse the data of Ref. \cite{white08} in Sec. \ref{sec3}. In this last work, participants were asked to continually perform an $\infty-$shaped trajectory during a parabolic flight. The three-dimensional kinematics of the hand has been recorded and adiabatic invariants can be computed from it. Gravity during the parabolas varied between 0 and $1.8$ $g$. We present our results in Sec. \ref{sec:res} and discuss them in Sec. \ref{sec:conclu}.

\section{The model}\label{sec:model}
\subsection{Adiabatic invariants in variable gravity}

We assume that human voluntary rhythmic motion in variable gravity $g(t)$ may be seen as a dynamical system with bounded motion in phase space, described by a separable Hamiltonian $H(I_\alpha, \theta^\alpha,\lambda(t))=\sum^D_{\alpha=1}H_j(I_\alpha, \theta^\alpha,\lambda(t))$. The Hamiltonian depends on action-angle variables $I_\alpha$ and $\theta^\alpha$ respectively and on a time-dependent function $\lambda(t)$, accounting for the modifications induced by $g(t)$. The various ingredients underlying the latter assumption deserve further comments. First, Hamiltonian dynamics being the most powerful formulation of classical Mechanics, it is rather natural to adopt a Hamiltonian approach.
This being said, not every dynamics is Hamiltonian: A sufficient criterion for a Hamiltonian to exist is that the total time-derivative applied to the Poisson bracket of two functions defined on phase-space obeys the Leibniz rule \cite[Chapter 5]{Jose}.
The latter criterion cannot a priori be  checked from our experimental setup: We will a posteriori confirm
 that the observed phase-space trajectories are not incompatible with a Hamiltonian dynamics. Second, the dynamics has a priori no  reason to be separable. The main interest we have in
 assuming the separability is that it allows a clear separation between vertical and horizontal
 directions (with respect to $\vec g$), the dynamics in the vertical direction being intuitively the
 most strongly impacted by the variations of $g\,$. Again, the separability hypothesis will only be checked a posteriori by observing the phase-space trajectories, see next Section.

It can then be shown that \cite[Eqs (50,10)-(50,11)]{L&L}
\begin{subequations}
\begin{eqnarray}
	\dot I_\alpha&=&-\frac{\partial H}{\partial \theta^\alpha}=-\left( \frac{\partial \Lambda}{\partial \theta^\alpha}\right)_{I_\alpha,\lambda}\dot \lambda\ ,  \label{eom1}\\
	\dot \theta^\alpha&=&\frac{\partial H}{\partial I_\alpha}=\omega_\alpha+\left( \frac{\partial \Lambda}{\partial I_\alpha}\right)_{\theta^\alpha,\lambda}\dot \lambda\ ,
\end{eqnarray}
\end{subequations}
where the partial derivatives have to be computed while keeping constant the indexed variables and where $\omega_\alpha$ are the motion's frequencies. The function $\Lambda$ is the action of the system; it is sufficient for our purpose to state that it is a periodic function of the angle variables. Hence, according to \cite{L&L}, $\Lambda=\sum^{+\infty}_{\ell_1=-\infty}\dots\sum^{+\infty}_{\ell_D=-\infty} {\rm e}^{i\vec \ell\cdot \vec \theta}\Lambda_{\vec \ell}\ $ with $\Lambda_{\vec \ell}\in\mathbb{C}$, $\vec \ell=(\ell_1,\dots,\ell_D)\in\mathbb{Z}^D$ and
\begin{equation}
	\frac{\partial \Lambda}{\partial \theta^\alpha}= \sum^{+\infty}_{\ell_1=-\infty}\dots\sum^{+\infty}_{\ell_D=-\infty}i\ell_\alpha  {\rm e}^{i\vec\ell\cdot \vec \theta}\Lambda_{\vec\ell}\ .
\end{equation}

We moreover assume that $\lambda=\lambda_0+\epsilon g(t)$ with $\epsilon g(t)\ll \lambda_0$, \textit{i.e.} that the modifications induced by variable gravity may be computed at first-order in $\epsilon$. Equation (\ref{eom1}) therefore leads to
\begin{equation}
	\dot I_\alpha=- \epsilon\, \dot g \sum^{+\infty}_{\ell_1=-\infty}\dots\sum^{+\infty}_{\ell_D=-\infty}i\ell_\alpha  {\rm e}^{i\vec\ell\cdot \vec \theta}\Lambda_{\vec\ell}\ ,
\end{equation}
or
\begin{equation}\label{eq1}
	\frac{d I_\alpha}{d g}=- \epsilon\, \sum^{+\infty}_{\ell_1=-\infty}\dots\sum^{+\infty}_{\ell_D=-\infty}i\ell_\alpha  {\rm e}^{i\vec\ell\cdot \vec \theta}\Lambda_{\vec\ell}\ .
\end{equation}

Let us define the times $t_n$ such that the values $\theta^\alpha(t_n)$ are all equal (modulo $2\pi$). The existence of $t_n$ is guaranteed for periodic dynamics such as the one that we consider here. Then it can be said that
\begin{equation}\label{model}
\left. \frac{d I_\alpha}{d g}\right|_{t=t_n}=I_1 \Rightarrow I_\alpha(t_n)=I_{\alpha;0}+I_{\alpha;1}\, g(t_n),
\end{equation}
with $I_{\alpha;0}$ and $I_{\alpha;1}$ two real numbers such that $\vert I_{\alpha;1}/I_{\alpha;0}\vert \ll 1$. Equation (\ref{model}) defines our model: The adiabatic invariant is expected to behave linearly in $g$ when computed at a given position in the consecutive cycles performed.

\subsection{Definition of $I_\alpha$}
The action variables are defined from positions $(Q^\alpha)$ and momenta $(P_\alpha)$ degrees of freedom as follows:
\begin{equation}\label{Id0}
	I_\alpha = \frac{1}{2\pi}\oint_{\Gamma_\alpha}
	P_\alpha\, dQ^\alpha\ ,
\end{equation}
where $\Gamma_\alpha$ is the projection of the bounded trajectory in the plane $(Q^\alpha,P_\alpha)$
for fixed $\alpha\,$. Note that, with a kinetic energy of the standard form $E_c\sim \sum^D_{\alpha=1}\dot Q^{\alpha\, 2}$, one is led to a form for the adiabatic invariant which is straightforward to compute:
\begin{equation}\label{Id1}
	I_\alpha(t) \sim \int^{t+T}_{t}\dot Q^{\alpha\, 2}(u)\, du\, ,
\end{equation}
with $T$ the period of the phase-space cycle $\Gamma_\alpha$ starting at $t$.

This last equation provides a way to compute the adiabatic invariant from experimental data provided $Q^{\alpha}(t)$ is known, which is not so obvious since a mathematical description of voluntary human motion may involve higher derivative dynamics, see \textit{e.g.} \cite{Nelson83,Hogan84,Hagler2015}. Two cases should therefore be considered. First, the motion's dynamics does not involve higher derivative terms. In this case $Q^\alpha$ may directly be identified to, say, one anatomical landmark's trajectory $x^\alpha(t)$, and $P_\alpha\sim \dot x^\alpha$. Second, the motion's dynamics is a higher-derivative one. Then $Q^\alpha$ and $P_\alpha$ can, in principle, be computed from $x^\alpha(t)$ but their definition is more involved. We refer the interested reader to the case of Pais-Uhlenbeck oscillator \cite{Pais:1950za}, that is a higher-derivative generalization of standard harmonic oscillator for which adiabatic invariants can be analytically computed \cite{Boulanger:2018tue}.

\section{The experiment}\label{sec3}
\subsection{Parabolic flights}

During parabolic flights, participants were asked to continually perform an $\infty$-shaped trajectory oriented crosswise to the body around two virtual obstacles situated 3 m in front of them. An optoelectronic device (OptoTrak 3020 system, Northern
Digital, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada) recorded the position of three
infrared LEDs placed on the object with a resolution of 0.1 mm. A three-dimensional
accelerometer fixed on the floor of the aircraft recorded its acceleration. The two synchronized acquisition systems recorded parameters at a sampling rate of 200 Hz. During a parabola, the aircraft performs a series of manoeuvres to allow for changes of effective gravity. This allows to run experiments at 0 (microgravity), 1 and approximately 1.8 $g$ (hypergravity), albeit for a short time. The micro and hyper gravity phases last around 20 s with transition periods shorter than 5 s. Typical plots of the motion performed and of the $g(t)$-profile are shown in Fig. \ref{fig:typical}. The cartesian frame we use is also displayed.
\begin{figure}
	\includegraphics[width=\columnwidth]{Typical.png}
	\caption{(a) Typical plot of the $\infty-$shaped motion in frontal plane $(x,y)$ during one parabola. A participant in FREE condition has been chosen. (b) $g(t)$ profile during the same parabola. (c) The Cartesian frame is displayed.
	}\label{fig:typical}
\end{figure}

Participants executed $\infty-$shaped movements in two conditions. In the free condition (FREE), the motion was self-paced. Four participants, totalling 24 parabolas, performed the motion in FREE condition. In the metronome condition (METRO), participants had to adopt 1.5-second constant pace prompted by a metronome. Seven participants, totalling 42 parabolas, performed the motion in METRO condition. Before starting the parabolic flights, participant's health was assessed by their individual National Centres for Aerospace Medicine as meeting the requirement "Jar Class II" for parabolic flight. No participant reported sensory or motor deficits and they all had normal or corrected-to-normal vision. All participants gave their informed consent to participate in this study and the procedures were approved by the European Space Agency (ESA) Safety Committee and by the local ethics committee. Their motion was recorded during 6 consecutive parabolas. We refer the reader to Ref. \cite{white08} for a more detailed presentation of the experiment.

\begin{figure}[ht]
	\includegraphics[width=\columnwidth]{PS.png}
	\caption{(a) Typical speed-position plot of the motion in $(x,v_x)$ plane during several cycles, same participant as Fig. \ref{fig:typical}. (b) and (c) Same data in the $(y,v_y)$ and $(z,v_z)$ planes respectively. The crosses show the trajectory obtained from Eq. (\ref{hdt}) with $A_0=0.092$ m, $A_1=0.065$ m, $A_2=0.060$ m, $\omega=2\pi$ rad/s, $\phi_1=0$ rad and $\phi_2=-1$ rad.
	}\label{fig:PS}
\end{figure}

\subsection{Phase-space trajectories and action variables}

The speeds $v_\alpha=\dot x^\alpha$ are first computed from the positions $x^\alpha$ recorded by the optoelectronic device through a finite differentiation. Typical speed-position plots are shown in Fig.~\ref{fig:PS}.

The $x$ and $y$ directions show (quasi)-periodic trajectories of elliptic type, compatible with a standard Hamiltonian dynamics. Hence we proceed as follows to compute the action variables. First, we identify $Q^\alpha$ to $x^\alpha$ and $P_\alpha$ to $\dot Q^\alpha$ -- up to an arbitrary mass scale that is set equal to 1 kg. Second, the beginning and end of each cycle $\Gamma_\alpha$ in phase-space plane $(Q^\alpha,P_\alpha)$ are computed. The end of the cycle starting at $t$ is chosen as the time $t^\star$ which is the smallest time after $t$ at which the euclidean distance between $(Q^\alpha(t^\star), P_\alpha(t^\star))$ and $(Q^\alpha(t), P_\alpha(t))$ is minimal. Once $t^\star$ is identified, the adiabatic invariant is computed by quadrature from Eq. (\ref{eq1}): $I_\alpha(t) = \int^{t+t^\star}_{t}\dot Q^{\alpha\, 2}(u)\, du\, $. Then, to apply our model, only adiabatic invariants corresponding to a given value of the angle variable have to be collected. We only consider the instants at which $P_\alpha=0$ and $Q^\alpha$ was maximal since they are easily identified.

As can be seen in Fig. \ref{fig:PS}, the trajectory in $(z,v_z)$ plane intersects itself during one cycle. The underlying dynamic is therefore called \emph{non-autonomous}, in the theory of dynamical systems.Participant's motion in the $z-$direction actually contains two distinct frequencies. One is the whole $\infty$-shaped movement's pulsation, say $\omega$, and the other is a forward-backward oscillation at $2\omega$. A trajectory of the form
	\begin{equation}\label{hdt}
		z(t)=A_0+\sum_{j=1,2}A_j\sin(j \omega t+\phi_j)
	\end{equation}
has the qualitative features of what is observed in the $(z,v_z)$ for appropriate values of the real constants $\omega$, $A_i$ and $\phi_i$.

Several effective models may produce trajectories such as (\ref{hdt}). (1) An oscillator with pulsation $\omega$ plus an external, time-dependent, periodic force with pulsation $2\omega$. A textbook example is the Duffing oscillator. The complete set of solutions of a forced, non-harmonic oscillator is unknown a priori but some special solutions are known that perfectly match the observed motion. (2) A system of coupled harmonic oscillators oscillating near its equilibrium position provided that the frequencies of some normal modes are equal to $\omega$ and $2\omega$. The dynamics of the various joints of the arm may be approximated by such a system. (3) A second-order Pais-Uhlenbeck harmonic oscillator. As shown in Appendix \ref{app}, an autonomous higher-derivative oscillator may actually mimic the dynamics of one peculiar degree of freedom in a system of coupled oscillators. An obvious advantage in resorting to Pais-Uhlenbeck harmonic oscillators is that the effective dynamics in the $z-$direction would be autonomous and that adiabatic invariants are well-defined once phase-space is properly built from the position degree of freedom and its time derivatives \cite{Boulanger:2018tue}. Hence, our model can in principle be adapted to the $z-$direction. However, such higher-derivative adiabatic invariants involve not only $\dot z$ but at least $\ddot z$ and $\dddot{z}$ \cite{Boulanger:2018tue}. The experimental precision reached in the measurement of $z$ does not allow for a reliable computation of those higher derivatives from our experimental data and we chose not to make further computations as far as the $(z,v_z)$ plane is concerned.

\section{Action variables in terms of gravity: The results}\label{sec:res}

We have linearly fitted $I_\alpha$  versus $g$ for each available parabola in order to check whether Model (\ref{model}) is observed at an individual level or not. The variable $g$ refers to the average value of $g(t)$ within the considered cycle $\Gamma_\alpha$. The parameters of the fit are $I_{1;\alpha}$ (slope),  $r_\alpha$ (Pearson's correlation coefficient) and $I_{0;\alpha}$ (intercept). A two-way ANOVA may be performed on the parameters of the fit with factors condition (FREE or METRO) and parabola number (1 to 6). The latter factor is introduced to check whether a learning effect is present or not during the consecutive parabolas a given participant has experienced.  The ANOVA was performed using SigmaPlot software (v.11.0, Systat Software, San Jose, CA, United States of America), with significance level 0.05. It appears that no significant effect of the parabola number can be found in the fit parameters which means that the model parameters are stable over time, with values set from the outset. Interactions between condition and parabola number are not significant either. However, the condition has a significant impact on $I_{0;\alpha}$, $I_{1;y}$  and $r_y$, as shown in Table \ref{table:fit1}.

From Table \ref{table:fit1}, the following global features of participant's motion can be deduced. (a) The action variable $I_x$ does not show a well-defined linear behaviour versus $g$: both the slopes and the Pearson's correlation coefficients are comparable with 0. The action variable $I_x$ can be considered as constant with $g$, although it is significantly lower in METRO condition than in the FREE condition. Let us note that the $x-$direction is orthogonal to gravity while the $y-$direction is aligned with gravity (see frame in Fig. 1). This observation may intuitively explain why there is no trend versus $g$ for the $x-$dynamics. (b) However, the trend of $I_y$ vs $g$ is compatible with model (\ref{model}) for positive $I_{1;y}$ well smaller than the intercept $I_{0;y}$. It is coherent with our initial assumption to work at first-order in $g$. Furthermore, the slope and the intercept are significantly lower in METRO condition than in the FREE one. (c) The clearest linear trend is observed for the action variable $I_y$ in the FREE condition. An example of linear fit is displayed in Fig. \ref{fig:Ibest}.

\begin{figure}
	\includegraphics[width=0.6\columnwidth]{Ibest.pdf}
	\caption{Adiabatic invariant $I_y$ versus $g$ computed from experimental data in the FREE condition for the same participant as in Fig. \ref{fig:typical} (points), compared to the best linear fit of the form (\ref{model}). Pearson's correlation coefficients is also indicated. $I_y$ has been normalized so that its average value is $1$ at $1g$.
	}\label{fig:Ibest}
\end{figure}

	\begin{tabular}{ll|rrr}

The $p-$ values of the ANOVA for the effect of condition are also given. }
	\label{table:fit1}
\end{table}

The global trend of $I_y$ vs $g$ can be observed by averaging $I_y$ over participants by condition (FREE and METRO) and by gravity condition, \textit{i.e.} by gathering computed adiabatic invariants into bins of 0.1 $g$, ranging from 0 to 1.8 $g$. Only the bins containing more than 10 points were finally kept. This threshold is arbitrary but avoids almost empty bins in the fast transition regions between 0 and 1 $g$ and between 1 and 1.6 $g$. The results of this analysis are displayed in Fig. \ref{fig:Iy}. The observed trends are compatible with $I_y^{FREE}=0.210+0.015\, g$ and  $I_y^{METRO}=0.106+0.015\, g$; an ANCOVA further shows that the slopes are not significantly different with condition ($p=0.994$), while the intercepts significantly depend on condition ($p<0.001$). Finally, it is also worth highlighting the fact that some bins (e.g. $[1.3;1.4[$) capture values of gravity in the ascending but also descending parts of the parabolic profile.

\end{figure}

\section{Discussion of the results}\label{sec:conclu}

The trajectory in the $z-$direction contains two distinct frequencies leading to intersecting trajectories in the $(z,v_z)$ plane, see Fig. \ref{fig:PS}. Effective dynamics in this plane therefore cannot be described by a time-independent standard dynamics: Either higher-derivatives or time-dependent forces have to be included. We believe that the appearance of such features could be explained by shoulder biomechanical constraints. The main shoulder movements required to execute the $\infty-$shaped movement are abduction and adduction. During shoulder abduction-adduction movements, rotations are usually observed \cite{assi}. It is well known that external rotation of the shoulder is adopted during abduction to clear the major tubercule of humerus from beneath acromion for preventing impingement \cite{peat,hurov}. The movement strategy spontaneously chosen by participants is therefore not  located on a single plane with constant $z$, leading to the observed nontrivial pattern.As previously said, the current experimental accuracy along the $z-$axis does not allow for a more detailed study of a potential higher-derivative effective dynamics. Note that it has already been successfully conjectured that a higher-derivative action principle such as $S=\int \dddot x^2\, dt$ -- a jerk-based cost function -- may constrain non-rhythmic voluntary human motion \cite{Hogan84}. However, such an action principle does not lead to periodic solutions, that is why a Pais-Uhlenbeck oscillator seems more relevant to us.
In the motion we observe, the two frequencies have an integer ratio, therefore stability of the motion is not guaranteed in such a resonant case \cite{Boulanger:2018tue}. It has recently been understood that extra interaction terms may stabilize periodic solutions of resonant higher-derivative oscillators \cite{Kaparulin:2020rqz}: We hope to investigate the applicability of such models to human rhythmic motion in future works.

By definition, the adiabatic invariant in $x$ and $y-$directions is proportional to
\begin{equation}\label{I_def1}
	I_\alpha\sim T \left\langle E_{c,\alpha} \right\rangle ,
\end{equation}
where $T$ is a given cycle duration in the vertical direction -- the duration of the cycle starting at the same time is twice that value in the $x-$direction --, and where $\left\langle E_{c,\alpha} \right\rangle$ is the averaged kinetic energy on the considered cycle. The protocol of \cite{white08} is such that $T^{FREE}<T^{METRO}$: The pace imposed by the metronome was chosen to be slower than participants' spontaneously chosen paces. Since, at given $g$, the adiabatic invariant in FREE condition is always larger than in METRO condition, it can be concluded that $\left\langle E_{c,\alpha}^{FREE} \right\rangle > \left\langle E_{c,\alpha}^{METRO} \right\rangle$. The smaller kinetic energy in METRO condition thus follows from the fact that participants have to move slower than in FREE condition in order to follow metronome's pace. Note that $I_{1;y}^{METRO}<I_{1;y}^{FREE}$: The extra constraint imposed by the metronome actually prevents the participant from optimally adapting his/her motion when $g$ is changing, assuming that the optimal motor strategy is reached in FREE condition. It is also known that $T$ is a decreasing function of $g$ in either METRO or FREE conditions \cite{white08}. Since $I_{1;y}>0$, $\left\langle E_{c,y} \right\rangle $ has to be an increasing function of $g$: The participant's arm moves with higher typical vertical speed at higher values of $g$.

Definition (\ref{I_def1}) explicitly makes appear the links between adiabatic invariant and kinetic energy. Another interpretation of the adiabatic invariant, focusing on external forces, is relevant to clarify the influence of gravity on it. To this aim, the virial theorem may be used to state that
\begin{equation}\label{I_av}
	I_\alpha\sim T \left\langle F_{\alpha}x^\alpha  \right\rangle,
\end{equation}
where $F_\alpha$ is an external force acting on the point-like object whose trajectory is $x^\alpha$. The latter force should involve muscular forces as well as gravity. One can reasonably assume that $F_\alpha=F_{0\alpha}+F_{1\alpha} g$, in coherence with the previously found linear trend of $I_\alpha$ vs $g$. A priori, $F_{1y}\gg F_{1x}$ since gravity's influence should mostly concern the vertical direction. Changes induced by $F_{1x}$ are probably unnoticeable up to our current experimental precision.

Around $1g$, $I_y$ is lower than expected from the 95\% confidence interval of the linear fit. In that familiar environment, participants ``know" the most economic strategy when they are allowed to move freely in Earth's gravity. In METRO condition, that drop in $I_y$ is not observable: The extra constraint imposed by the metronome does not allow participants to follow that optimal strategy. Furthermore, our results also reveal that microgravity is a special case. While the linear fit holds true for the whole explored gravitational values ($[0 g ; 1.8 g]$), there is a significant gap between 0.3 $g$ and 0.7 $g$ in our data. Hypogravity values are not explored.
Our study again reveals that 0 $g$ acts as a singular value for the brain \cite{white08}. Finally, adiabatic invariants do not behave like parameters measured in most motor control investigations. Indeed, while errors in reaching movements perturbed by force fields require tens of trials to vanish \cite{shad94}, safety margins in object manipulation in altered gravity need an exposure to 6 parabolas to decrease to normal values \cite{augu03} and some behaviours in conflicting force-fields or visuomotor rotations do even not adapt at all \cite{cothros}, adiabatic invariants seem to be set to their nominal values from the outset.

\section{Concluding comments}

To conclude this work, it is worth linking them to well-known frameworks in motor control.

Participants have many more kinematic degrees of freedom than necessary to fulfill the demanded task, \textit{i.e.} the $\infty-$shaped movement. The coordination of kinematically redundant systems was formulated by Bernstein as the degrees of freedom problem \cite{Bernstein}. The main difficulty of Bernstein's problem is that the nervous system must conciliate two apparently conflicting abilities: (1) the realization of a movement from the choice of one among an infinite number of motor patterns; (2) the absence of univocal relationship between the movement realized and motor patterns used, known as motor equivalence. Although it remains unclear as to whether and how the brain can estimate adiabatic invariants, such quantities puts constraints on the allowed strategies, \textit{i.e.} strategies keeping $I_\alpha$ invariant at constant $g$. In this picture, an increase (decrease) in $I_\alpha(g)$ may be related to an increase (decrease) of the allowed motor patterns.

When subjects are free to point to a target, they automatically scale movement duration with movement amplitude and choose a trade off between movement speed and accuracy to touch the target. It is known as Fitts's law \cite{Fitts}. The adiabatic invariant is the area of a closed trajectory in phase space: $I_\alpha\sim A_\alpha\, v^{{\rm max}}_\alpha$, with $A_\alpha$ and $v^{{\rm max}}_\alpha$ the amplitude and maximal speed of the movement in the direction $\alpha$ respectively. Its invariance at given $g$ implies that, if maximal speed increases (decreases), amplitude decreases (increases). In our experiment, the maximal speed is an obvious measure of movement's speed, and the amplitude can be seen as an index of precision. Indeed,the instruction given to the participant is to avoid 2 targets by turning around. Thus, if amplitude decreases (increases), the participant increases (decreases) the chances of hitting the target, and he/she is less (more) precise. The adiabatic invariant can then be seen as an explicit realization of the speed-accuracy-trade off scenario. The modification of its value with $g$ actually changes the acceptable values of maximal speed and amplitude involved in this trade off.

In summary, our results indicate that adiabatic invariants deserve a particular attention in biomechanical approaches of human motion. They are indeed able to capture one individual's reaction to time-dependent external conditions, even in extreme cases such as variable gravity. Adiabatic invariants seem very robust in this context. Further studies are now needed to clarify the links between adiabatic invariant theory and celebrated motor control paradigms such as speed-accuracy-trade off.

This bike has just come in to us as a part ex and is being sold as a ride or restore bike.
The bike has come in with no MOT, a leaking fork seal, and a rotten exhaust collector. But we have fitted a brand new stainless steel complete exhaust system from Delkevic (looks and sounds great) and will be fitted new fork seals in the coming week(s) so that when it is sold it will be sold with a full new 12 month MOT.
Previous owner had bought the bike hoping to restore it at some point, but had never got round to it, he had just run it on the odd occasion, keeping it in usable condition.
The bike is 34 years old and has not been restored, so the bodywork does have some imperfections. The most notable being the lacquer peeling in patches on the right side of the tank as you can see in the detailed photo on this listing. This is just cosmetic though, and we are leaving it up to the new owner as to whether or not they just keep it as is, or if they want to restore / repaint the bike.
The cosmetics of the engine and the rest of the bike is pretty good as can be seen in the photos. And the new Delkevic stainless steel full system we have just fitted looks fantastic.
The motor fires straight up and it runs lovely, and the sounds from that new exhaust is addictive.
We are going to be stripping and rebuilding the forks with new oil and seals as one has a slight weep.
Before leaving us the bike will go through our workshop and been given a full service and recommissioning and a new MOT will be put on the bike so the lucky buyer will have a full 12 months.
The bike comes with V5, new MOT certificate, 8 old MOT's, a couple of invoices for bits and bobs, and a clean HPI report.
Come and have a look and see it for yourself. I'm sure you will be impressed. The kettle is always on at our showroom.

Trump's social media company dealt another setback in road to stock market listing
Sep 9, 2022 Trump Social
Former President Trump's social media company has another potentially big problem on its hands: It's struggling to complete a stock market listing that would allow it to raise more than $1 billion it needs to keep running.
Trump Media and Technology Group, which includes the Truth Social app it launched earlier this year, had been planning to list on the Nasdaq stock exchange through a complicated process known as a SPAC merger.
But that deal is under legal and regulatory scrutiny, and the Securities and Exchange Commission has not yet signaled its approval.
The SPAC, or the organization that will help list the stock is called Digital World Acquisition Corp. and it now needs an extension for the listing, it said Thursday. The company has struggled to get the support of enough shareholders to move the deadline.

Triple talaq bill: Rights of Muslim women will be protected, says Ravi Shankar Prasad
The NDA government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi tabled a fresh bill to ban the practice of instant divorce in the Lok Sabha.
By Zee Media Bureau | Last Updated: Friday, June 21, 2019 - 14:58
The Triple Talaq Bill was tabled in the Lok Sabha on Friday by Union Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad, amid a huge uproar by the opposition parties. A day after President Ram Nath Kovind called for the abolishing the evil traditions of triple talaq, which is prevalent among the Muslim community, the NDA government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi tabled a fresh bill to ban the practice of instant divorce in the Lok Sabha.
The Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Bill, 2019, which has been listed in the Lok Sabha's agenda for Friday, will replace an ordinance issued in February by the previous BJP-led NDA government. The previous bill, which was pending in the Rajya Sabha, had lapsed with the dissolution of the 16th Lok Sabha last month.
Thanks for joining us on live updates of Parliament. Do come again on Saturday.
21 June 2019, 14:08 PM
Seeking to justify the need to bring in the legislation, Prasad said there were 543 cases of triple talaq reported in the country. After the Supreme Court judgement banning triple talaq practise, Prasad said more than 200 cases were reported. "This is a question of dignity of women and we are committed to (safeguard) it," he said. He said the job of Parliament was to legislate and it was up to courts to interpret the law.
AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi took a dig at the BJP, saying it has so much affection for Muslim women but is opposed to rights of Hindu women to enter Sabrimala Temple in Kerala. The triple talaq bill violates constitutional rights as it stipulates three-year jail term for guilty Muslim men while non-Muslim men get only one year of jail term for a similar offence, he said.
N K Premchandran of the RSP and the JDU also opposed the bill.
A total of 186 votes came in favour of the introduction of the bill whereas 74 votes were against it.
Voting for the introduction of Triple Talaq Bill 2019 in Lok Sabha was held through paper slips as the new MPs have not yet been allotted division number that allows them to vote using polling machine. This is the first bill to be introduced in the 17th Lok Sabha.
Speaking on the bill after it was tabled, Union Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad said, "Rights of Muslim women will be protected. It is about justice and empowerment of women. People have chosen us to make laws. It is our work to make laws. Law is to give justice to the victims of Triple Talaq." He said that the issue is not about a person's religion, but it is about the protection of women.
Congress MP Shashi Tharoor opposes the introduction of Triple Talaq Bill 2019. Tharoor said, "Make a law which universally punishes those who abandon wife and law. Why focus only on one community as the SC has already criminalised the act. Instead of protecting the bill makes the Muslim women vulnerable. The bill is amenable to misuse."
The Triple Talaq Bill has been tabled in the Lok Sabha by Union Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad, amidst uproar by the opposition parties.
TAAL THOK KE: Why is Rahul Gandhi doing politics on terror?


I would like to tell you how good JC Tonic® has been to me. I am 13-years-old. I used to go to sleep in class, but I do not anymore, because I take the tonic. It gives me more energy to run in P.E. I used to have really bad allergies, but I do not anymore. The tonic has been so good to me. I would like to thank you for all you have done.
With my baby close to celebrating her first year, I wanted to share with all of you how wonderful I have felt consuming JC Tonic® both while I was pregnant and still today as I continue to nurse our little Catarina. Many Ambassadors of Health have asked if I consumed JC Tonic® while I was pregnant - absolutely! If I didn't, I fear I would not have done as great as I did.
Catarina, we can say, was the first true blue JC Tonic® baby since both my husband, Justino, and I have been drinking our tonic every day for almost four years now. Of course, I did tell my obstetrician that I was drinking JC Tonic® and he was quite open to the idea that since the tonic had given me such tremendous energy, allowed me to sleep peacefully and made me have such a great disposition, then it certainly could not be harmful to our baby, but he nevertheless wanted to verify the ingredients and after he did so, he had no reservation about my consuming JC Tonic®.
I must say that throughout the entire pregnancy, I felt super. I never had any morning sickness, never felt nauseated, never had one craving, slept well, had the energy to exercise, and worked right until the day Catarina was born. Even after she was born, I was back on the job, working from home just a few days later, and that's after having a C-Section. Many of you may not know this, but for about eight months Catarina came to work with me each and every day. She, in fact, became the JCWW baby. Everyone just enjoyed him tremendously! She is such a great baby that it was rather easy to have her at the office. She simply ate, slept and played.
Catarina received the health-giving benefits of JC Tonic® from the onset of her life to this very day. Now, since I don't nurse her as often, I make sure she gets a few drops in each milk bottle every day. No more than twelve little drops a day and Catarina sleeps all night (from birth), is playful, is attentive, eats well and, according to her pediatrician, is the poster child for perfect health.
All I can say is that between both of my pregnancies, I assure you that during the one I consumed JC Tonic®, I certainly felt great and do see enormous differences in the temperament and health of Catarina to my daughter born seven years ago when I wasn't drinking JC Tonic®.
In August 2003, I was diagnosed with Graves Disease before I got pregnant with my second child. Graves Disease is a hyperactive thyroid and it is common to get it after a first or second pregnancy. I have been on a pill called PTU for thyroid and take one a day and JC Tonic®. The doctor said I have a chance for miscarriage while on PTU. I was also told that during pregnancy the thyroid could act up and that would require a larger dose of PTU, but mine stayed the same throughout my pregnancy and after my pregnancy. I had a very healthy pregnancy.
My daughter, Sydney, is 2 years old and has been taking the tonic since she was born in 2002. We started her on it when she became gassy. She would cry and scream and then we would give her a couple of drops of tonic and she would stop crying. We also found that it works great if you water it down in a spray bottle and just spray it on their bottom - it stings a little, but it clears up within the next one or two diaper changes.
I was a nursing mother on JC Tonic®. Both of my children were born with a blocked tear duct and their eye was filled with goopy matter. I put the tonic on my finger and rubbed it directly on there eye, which cleared it up. Both children like the taste of the tonic. My two year old asks for it every night before she goes to bed (1-2 teaspons). My seven year old gets an eye dropper full before bed and he has been sleeping through the night since he was six weeks old.
Hi, my name is Steven. After I was born and went home from the hospital, I suffered from sleeping disorders. I struggled to breathe, I lost my breath and I snored loud. I had to sleep sitting up in a bouncer seat for a very long time, with my mom by my side. After seeing homeopathic doctors, Chinese doctors, chiropractors, and having a few cranial adjustments (that's having your head worked on) over a four year period with some results but none that were lasting, my mom and I thought it would help to get my tonsils out. The appointment was made and I was so happy to think I might soon be able to get a good night's sleep.
Then a miracle happened. My mom was introduced to Jurak Classic Whole Body Tonic. I had missed so much kindergarten due to sickness and being tired because of not being able to sleep at night, but when I started first grade, I made it almost every day because my mom gave me half an ounce of JC Tonic® every morning before school to keep me healthy and happy. I am so glad I get a good night's sleep now and so is my mom. And now I have energy to go to school every day. I never did have to get my tonsils out. I'm eight now and for a year and a half I have been taking JC Tonic®, and I don't plan on quitting. Thank you Mom, JC Tonic®, and Anthony.
Hi, my name is Susie. My son Steven was a very happy baby until he went to sleep; that's when his problems started. He would gasp for air and sometimes he even stopped breathing. He would snore and was a very fitful sleeper. Having a newborn is hard; having a sick newborn is exhausting. I would try any natural method to help Steven, and I would tell anyone who would listen of Steven's sleeping disorder. All the stress and sleepless nights had an adverse affect on me, although I didn't notice it because I was too busy taking care of a sick baby. But when the panic attacks started and my depression got worse, I knew I needed help. At the time, I was only giving Steven ½ ounce of JC Tonic® so I started taking the other half.
To make a long story short, I did get over my panic attacks and depression. Now I sleep better and don't need a nap during the day anymore because I have energy that lasts all day. Finding the Tonic helped my continuous search for a natural product to help Steven and myself get well. THANK YOU JC Tonic® and Jeanie for listening to my plea for help, and THANK YOU Anthony for providing the Whole Body Tonic.
Hi, I am 20 months old and I have been drinking the tonic daily for four months. At my age, sickness is very common, but not for me. I am teething right now too, but the tonic keeps it from hurting. Other kids are getting sick and grumpy, while I am playing with my puppy, Xena; she takes her tonic too. Grandpa named me "Tazz", since I am always on the run. (Grandma wrote this for me, because I cannot write yet).
I am 15 months old and my doctor says that I am the healthiest baby he has ever seen. My folks are very careful about the kind of food I eat and the supplements I take. As a matter of fact, Jurak Classic Whole Body Tonic is the only supplement our family ever uses. I get so excited when it is "tonic" time. To me, it tastes very good. I have not poisoned my taste buds with lots of unhealthy foods like most adults. Starting the tonic at my age, along with a healthy diet and good exercise, you may see me wearing the Gold in the 2020 Olympics. Let's Stay Young Together, so drink to your good health.
Collin Low (age six and a half) is the grandson of Rose and Jack Hong. He had trouble with food for about a year. Doctors could not find the cause, prescribed different products, had him eliminate certain foods - nothing helped. After taking JC Tonic®, he no longer has these pains. His four and a half year old sister, Caitlyn, always tells people when she hears them complain about some health issue, "Take the tonic because it makes you healthy and strong."
I am 13-years-old and I just want to tell anyone who wants to know, the tonic does not taste good, but the results are astonishing. It will change your behavior, you will feel much better and you will not think about getting into fights. You might think you are ugly, but you will look great when you try JC Tonic®. I would like to say thank you to my grandmother, Ruthie Neal, for asking me if I wanted to use it and for me saying "yes". I am from Tampa, but I think everybody in the world should try it.
I am 12 years old and have been on JC Tonic® for three months. I have noticed a great improvement in my health. Since I have been on the tonic, I am able to keep more focused at school, which has improved my grades, and my reading and writing have also improved. My teacher told my parents that they have noticed an improvement in my schoolwork as well. I thank Anthony Carl Jurak for such a great tonic and my parents for insisting I take it every day.
My teacher said that I was better in class and that my reading was better (I have dyslexia and see words and letters backwards). They said I was doing a lot better. This year I got to play on the basketball team and we made it to the championships. I have severe asthma, so I am proud of myself that I made it through the basketball season.
My granddaughter, Tierra, has sickle-cell anemia. She is eleven years old and had a lot of problems. Sickle-cell anemia is a blood disease. The blood cells are not round. This disease causes a lot of pain and infections. When the cells cycle, the blood cannot flow easily through the arteries.
These abnormally sickle-shaped cells are both rigid and sticky. They stick to the walls and cannot squeeze through the capillaries. Blood flow becomes obstructed, depriving tissues and organs of oxygen. In the immediate setting, oxygen deprivation (hypoxia) can cause severe pain (the sickle-cell crisis). Over time, it leads to chronic and progressive destruction in organs and tissues throughout the body.
Tierra suffers from leg cramps, fatigue and dehydration. The red blood cells are low because the white cells override the red cells. Her blood count would go so low that she would pass out. I put her on JC Tonic® and now her blood count is normal - after only six months! The pain is gone, no more headaches and her grades are up. She can even participate in P.E.


Chrome is turning 10! Thank you for making the web development community so open, collaborative, and supportive. DevTools draws inspiration from countless other projects. Here's a look back at how DevTools came about, and how it's changed over the years.
Sprinkle window.alert() calls throughout your code.
Comment out sections of code.
What about layout issues? Network errors? Again, all you could really do is conduct painstaking experiments in your code. This was the reality of web development up until 2006. Then a little tool called Firebug came along and changed everything.
Firebug was a Firefox extension that let you debug, edit, and monitor pages in real-time. As a web developer suddenly you went from having no visibility into your pages to having what are essentially the core features of modern developer tools. The ability to understand exactly why Firefox was behaving as it was unleashed a flood of creativity on the web. Without Firebug, the Web 2.0 era wouldn't have been possible.
Around the same time as Firebug's launch, a few Google engineers started working on a project which would eventually lead to Chrome. From the start, Chrome was a mashup of different code libraries. For rendering the Chrome engineers opted for WebKit, which is the open-source project that still powers Safari to this day. An added bonus of using WebKit was that it came with a handy tool called the Web Inspector.
Chrome brought many innovative ideas to the browser ecosystem, such as the omnibox that combined search and the address bar, and a multi-process architecture that prevented one hanging tab from crashing the entire browser. But the innovation we like the most was providing developer tools in every build to every user, exposed with the click of a mouse.
Before Chrome, developer tooling was an opt-in experience. You either had to install an extension, like Firebug, or enable some flags, as is still the case in Safari today. Chrome was the first browser to make developer tooling accessible from every browser instance. We'd like to claim that we had a grand vision for creating a developer-friendly browser from the start, but the reality is that Chrome had a lot of compatibility issues in its early days (which makes sense, since no one was building for it) and we needed to give web developers an easy way to fix these issues. Web developers told us that it was a useful feature, and we kept it.
For the first few years of the DevTools project, we essentially added chapters to the stories that Firebug and Web Inspector started. The next big shift in how we approached DevTools happened when it became clear that smartphones were here to stay.
Our first mission in this brave new world was to enable developers to debug real mobile devices from their development machines, which we call remote debugging. DevTools was actually well-positioned to handle remote debugging, thanks to another consequence of Chrome's multi-process architecture. Early on in the DevTools project we realized that the only way a debugger could reliably access a multi-process browser was through a client-server protocol, with the browser being the server, and the debugger being the client. When mobile Chrome came around, the protocol was already baked into it, so we just had to make the DevTools running on your development machine communicate with the Chrome running on your mobile device over the protocol. This protocol still forms the backbone of DevTools today, and is now known as the Chrome DevTools Protocol.
Precisely emulating the mobile viewport, simulating touch-based input and device orientation.
Throttling the network connection to simulate 3G and CPU to simulate less-powerful mobile hardware.
Spoofing user agent, geolocation, accelerometer data and more.
We collectively refer to these features as Device Mode.
While the mobile era unfolded, big apps like Gmail were pushing the limits of the web's capabilities. Gmail-scale bugs called for Gmail-scale tools. One of our first major contributions to the tooling ecosystem was to show a play-by-play breakdown of exactly everything that Chrome had to do in order to display a page.
These tools were a step in the right direction, but in order to spot optimization opportunities you needed to learn the nitty-gritty details about how browsers work and sift through a lot of data. Lately we've been building on this foundation to provide more guided performance insights. The new Lighthouse engine powers the Audits panel, and is also available as a Node module for integration with CI systems.
Up until 2014 or so, we mainly thought of DevTools as a tool for building great experiences on Chrome. The rise of Node prompted us to rethink our role in the web ecosystem.
Our core mission is to build tools that help you create great experiences on the web. We very much rely on your feedback to help us determine what products or features to build.
Thank you for creating such a vibrant community. We look forward to another 10 years of building the web with you.
