In the late 1940s Jackson Pollock developed a revolutionary form of Abstract Expressionism by dripping, pouring, and splashing paint onto large-scale canvases. Pollock emphasized the expressive power of the artist's gestures, materials, and tools, often applying paint with sticks, trowels, and palette knives instead of brushes. He also challenged the concept of easel painting by working on canvases placed either on the floor or fixed to a wall. With no apparent beginning or end, top or bottom, his paintings imply an extension of his art beyond the edges of the canvas, engulfing the viewer. Among the last great purely abstract paintings Pollock made before his untimely death in 1956, Greyed Rainbow is a quintessential example of action painting. The paint application ranges from thick chunks squeezed directly from a tube to thin, meandering lines poured from a container with a small hole or squirted from a baster. The work is predominantly black, white, gray, and silver; in the bottom third of the canvas, however, Pollock thinly concealed orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet. The title of the work presumably refers to these grayed sections of hidden color.

Tributes paid to Aberfan police officer Charles Nunn
https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/320/cpsprodpb/AD6B/production/_110359344_5s2kxaqm.jpg" width="976" height="549">
Retired police officer Charles Nunn, pictured here as a young man, died in December
The community of Aberfan has paid tribute to a retired police officer for his work during the disaster more than 50 years ago. Charles Nunn, 85, died in December.He ran a make-shift mortuary in a chapel in the south Wales village after a slag heap engulfed Pantglas Junior School on 21 October 1966.Mr Nunn, from Mumbles, Swansea, helped families identify the bodies of 116 children and 28 adults."I am still to this day struck by their sheer dignity as they queued in the rain waiting to identify their child," he told BBC Wales just weeks before his death.
A slag heap engulfed Pantglas Junior School in October 1966
Jeff Edwards MBE, the last surviving child to be rescued from the remains of the school, said: "It was with great sadness that we heard of the passing of Charles Nunn who as a police officer at the time of the Aberfan disaster had the responsibility of identification of bodies and liaising with bereaved families."The impact on him like other rescuers was profound and had a lasting impact for the rest of his life."In 1966 Mr Nunn, then an Acting Inspector in the Regional Crime Squad, had been specially trained by Scotland Yard to deal with major incidents. "On the morning of Friday the 21st of October I had a wireless message to pick up what we called the 'murder bag' which was a case full of paperwork, labels and statements - all the things we needed to deal with a big murder inquiry - and get to Merthyr," he told the BBC before he died."I thought we were going to deal with a murder case. But, of course, it didn't turn out like that."
Safety warnings over the slagheap had gone unheeded
Several warnings over the safety of "tip number seven" - a gigantic slagheap or spoil tip consisting of waste from coal production at the nearby Merthyr Vale Colliery which loomed a quarter of a mile high on top of the mountain over Aberfan - had gone unheeded. Just minutes after the children of Pantglas Junior School, whose families depended so heavily on the mine, filed into the classrooms, survivors recalled the lights began to flicker and sway - and then a roar, like "a jet plane screaming low over the school in the fog".

Remembering Aberfan
A torrent of some 300,000 cubic yards (229,300 cubic metres) of coal waste crashed down the mountain engulfing the school and 28 neighbouring houses. "Merthyr Borough Police in whose area Aberfan fell only had a hundred officers; they couldn't cope. So they asked for outside assistance," said Mr Nunn."We were asked to handle the identification of the bodies which were being recovered from the school and nearby houses."Nobody had a clue how many there was going to be. We thought we might be dealing with half a dozen dead. We had no idea there was going to be 144 dead. At the time we didn't comprehend the number.
Mr Nunn said officers had not comprehended the number of bodies they would find
"And because in Aberfan there was no gymnasium, no big church hall, no proper facilities it was decided that Bethania Chapel in Aberfan Road would be the location."It was a typical Welsh Baptist chapel, very dingy, very dour downstairs, there was a small staircase on either side leading to an upstairs gallery and in the back the Sunday school room which had one toilet, one cold water sink and that was it."We set up the incident room in this funny little chapel and two of us were designated the senior identification officers and our job was to make sure that when a body was released it was the right body; very difficult when you've got lots of little boys and lots of little girls."Mr Nunn described in detail his experience of the 15 days he spent in Bethania Chapel in an article to mark the 50th anniversary of the disaster in 2016.Each time the otherwise stoic crime detective recalled his experience in Aberfan, he was moved to tears.
Mr Nunn had a distinguished career in the police
A few weeks before his death, he said: "I always remember a chap called the Reverend Hayes, Kenneth Hayes. He lost his son, Dyfrig, in the school. And he used to come into the chapel helping his parishioners. "I said to him one day 'Mr Hayes, I don't know how you can do it, you've lost your son'. And he said to me 'well, my faith is such and that of my wife that we know we're going to be reunited one day. The only thing we wonder is he going to be a young man or still six years oldFollowing a distinguished career across south Wales which had begun in the Military Police, Charles Nunn had also worked for Bechuanaland Mounted Police, Botswana, and the Royal Oman Police. He is survived by his wife, Elaine, a retired police officer from Blackwood, four step-children, six step-grandchildren and three step-great grandchildren.

In fact that's the exact app I used for testing and developing the RoundGauge way back when. As you can see, it's running 4 gauges, all updating real time, on a Cirrus 200MHz processor and there is zero hesitation or flicker so yes, fast, smooth graphics *are* possible with the CF.

Q: It is possible to test view below a progress dialog, using espresso? I am trying use a function to check consistency of the activity graphic elements at any time. I found out that when the progressdialog is showing the espresso can't find any view bellow. Is there any way get the view bellow?

A: Yes, you use a RootMatcher. For example:
// Specifically target the main window view hierarchy
onView(withId(R.id.view_to_match))
    .inRoot(withDecorView(is(getActivity().getWindow().getDecorView())))
    .perform(click());

Or maybe:
// Specifically disregard the dialog window view hierarchy
onView(withId(R.id.view_to_match))
    .inRoot(not(isDialog()))
    .perform(click());

See the official documentation for an example.
Hope that helps!

A: onView(withText("Request Number")).inRoot(not(isDialog())).perform(click());

Worked for me!
Request Number is a 'text' on 'Button'

In this interview with The Worldfolio, Mr. John Awuah, CEO of Universal Merchant Bank, discusses the positive outlook of Ghana's economic performance, how the bank is supporting the government plans and the importance of digitalization for the future growth of the bank.
Like the rest of the world, Africa remains uncertain about what is to come after global geopolitical shifts like Trump's election in the US or the Brexit win in the UK. Investors are now turning their eye to other regions and Africa is becoming a key part of their global portfolio. How can the finance sector take advantage of this momentum?
I think it's critical, not just for the development of Africa but also for our own survival. You cannot take yourself out of the wind of globalization; it's a phenomenon that has come to stay. I do not subscribe to any theory that says that global economics is going to disintegrate by whatever means or by whatever happens on the other side of the Atlantic.
Africa cannot allow itself to be left aside. We are a continent with a fast-growing young population and therefore the future is in the hands of the youth. It is imperative that people who hold the keys to power take the right steps towards aligning Africa properly into an era of continuous growth among the different regions of the continent. We must work together, build synergies and partner. That is why I am also very happy that West Africa, through the ECOWAS is already going back to the drawing board, to better understand how we can properly integrate our economies so we can grow together.
In the global world if you are little you suffer, you need to build capacity and ensure that you can integrate with your border towns and countries and ensure you are a voice bigger than a single country. I think Ghana has played a pivotal role in our region to take an active part in leading that fight into the landline of globalization.
High inflation, a weakening currency and a large public deficit led to an economic crisis, forcing Ghana to seek a $920 million bailout from the IMF. 2017 marks a new journey for Ghana under Akufo Addos' administration, which has pledged to put Ghana back on track. How would you assess the performance of the Ghanaian economy and what is your outlook for 2017?
We have had sustained stability in terms of macro indicators for long periods, which is what every country needs to attract the outside world to invest in your environment. We have a track record of doing well as a country in many variables.
Inflation is one key macro factor that inhibits our ability to improve our productive capacity. There is one thing that is certain in this country and that is the fact that the currency depreciates, but to what extent must it depreciate? In single digits, we can say we have done very well. But I don't think that is good enough. There are countries that are able to stabilize their currencies to levels where you can predict for the next five years and will not move below or above five percentage points, which is something that a country that is in the path of growth should aim for.
We are very happy that at some point we should be able to draw a line and see how we can put our acts together to move the country to the next level, and drive development. Our association with the government, on what has become known as "One District – One Factory", is basically a testament to our beliefs in the fact that for the first time in many years the country has an agenda that we can work towards.
We are very excited because it fits into our long-term plans. We are already known for having helped many companies in our history. We see this as an opportunity to also work with the state and see how well, as a private financial institution, we can steer the political arena and the discussion around the political boardrooms into an area that will create growth and drive development.
The "One District – One Factory" will further diversify the economy and generate added value to the production chain. How is the bank supporting this initiative?
Our currency is volatile due to our import dependency. We import everything, from toothpicks to pens. If you import, you have to pay for it. How do you pay for it? You don't spend Ghana cedis; you have to exchange your money and use hard currency like dollars or pounds, and so you need an international tradable currency to settle your import bill.
For the first time, I am seeing an attempt at a solution through industrialization. The concern is how to execute these plans. The government is focusing their strategy on the private sector. This is not a presidential special initiative, it is an initiative that government began, but it is private sector led. The banks and the Association of Ghana Industries made the negotiations in China; no politician was involved. I have a lot of faith that with this agenda we will set our eyes straight on the ball.
As Ghana aims to become a middle-income country in the coming years, the inclusion of the population in the formal finance sector is critical. How are you working towards financial inclusion?
Financial inclusion is very much on our agenda, to enhance and improve our reach and distribution channels. Digital platforms are our priority, and the area where we want to place a lot of emphasis. We are heavily investing in digitalization and will be in the coming weeks launching one digital product on a weekly basis.
In Ghana, for instance, almost everybody owns a mobile phone, even though not everybody can afford to have three meals a day. Mobiles are now part of the banking environment, so if you want to support financial inclusion as a bank you have to buy into that.
If you are a financial institution and you want to exist in the next five years you must channel a minimum of 70 percent of your efforts into digital banking, making sure you are well placed for the future because brick and mortar will fast disappear. If you are a financial institution and you don't plan for this future, you will be out of the market.
How is UMB Bank supporting SME development in Ghana and enabling adequate access to finance?
If you are a financial institution in Ghana and you lose your strategy on SMEs, you have lost the market, because statistics show that around 90 percent of our corporates are small or medium enterprises. We have an elaborate plan for that segment. We have set up an SME center which acts as a one-stop shop.
There is no back and forth in terms of having to deliver documents to our head office or other situations. The SME center acts as if you had walked into the head office and seen the head of SMEs. Another thing is that sometimes what SMEs need is actually not finance, but advisory services, so is not necessarily a case of throwing money at them but advising them on basic issues that bigger institutions may take for granted. We take an interest in developing their knowledge base, teaching them basic financial planning, basic book keeping, business entity concepts, and educating them on how to run their business.
We don't do this only for our customers but also even for people who are not our customers. We do this to enrich the market; if the market is rich and people have the basic knowledge then you know that whatever customer you touch you are most likely to succeed.
Customer experience is key in a highly competitive market like the banking industry. What efforts is UMB making to provide a unique customer experience?
Our mantra here is "you first", because we place our customer at the pinnacle of the activities that we undertake. The setup of the SME center was a result of a customer focus group feedback, where they addressed their difficulties. For example, many SME leaders are illiterate, and when they come to an office and are spoken to in complicated English they sometimes find it hard to understand, so they are not able to properly explain their financial needs, and in return we may end up giving them the wrong products. We listened to our customer and created the SME center. We have our customers at the center of all our decision-making. We occasionally commission external people to give us assessments on how our brand is going, because we take very seriously the feedback that comes from the activities we embark on.
Remittances in 2016 amounted to $2 billion USD. Taking into account that the UK has one of the largest Ghanaian diaspora populations, what can UMB bank do to harness their potential?
We are very active in the money transfer business. We actually have more partners than any other bank in the country in terms of money transfer. We have over 13 money transfer organizations that we have a relationship with. If we talk about financial inclusion, most of the recipients of remittances are people that otherwise would have not even entered a bank, so it is an opportunity for us when they walk into a branch to talk to them about opening an account or having one financial product or the other, so it fits into the financial inclusion strategy and we are very active in that area.
Why would you encourage UK investors to come to Ghana?
I think one of the key factors that any investor who wants to move overseas is interested in, is stability. It is important when entering a country to have a good view of the political environment and other social factors which are also very important. The standards of education are also very important in order to ensure a skilled human resource that you may need in the kind of business you want to run.
Ghana ticks most of these boxes in a very nice way. In fact, if you compare us to sub-Saharan Africa, there are not many countries which can tick all the boxes like Ghana does. This country is small but the country is educated, most people speak multiple languages, we are hardworking, we are friendly, the political environment is stable, we have had since 1992 a stable democracy. Governments have come and gone; some of them have only lasted one term and these are not stories that you hear in Africa every day. But we have taken it for granted because we are different in some way.
In this same context, what makes UMB a reliable partner of choice for foreign investors?
Whenever I talk about the age of this bank sometimes people are surprised. We are 45 years old and the country is 60 years old. This bank was born 15 years after independence and at that time there were no more than four banks in the country. This tells you how robust we have been. If you are an investor and you are looking for a bank that you can trust then you need track record. You need a bank that is established, with a track record of performance. Today we are a refreshed bank with strong capacity and all the technology you need. Whatever a bank in the UK can do, this bank can do it.
If you come to UMB you almost have a mirror of the financial services and arrangements that you have in the UK. So, UMB is the bank of choice for any investor that decides to settle their activities in Ghana or have a business relationship here. We have relations with many international correspondent banks like Citibank or Deutsche Bank and we have not had a single complaint from any of our correspondent banks in 45 years. This is rare in the market.
You have mentioned how the banking industry is evolving and how digitalization is taking over in many aspects. How do you envision the bank by 2020?
We have a five-year plan that has three years to go. Our agenda for 2020 is to be a tier 1 bank, and we are very much on course to achieving our goal. We have the key pillars to get us there.
First and foremost, our international spread must be recognized. We are listed on the London Stock Exchange (LSE), which gives us a global exposure. We are also listed in other versatile markets like Nigeria which gives us a pass mark in governance. As an organization, when you are listed or quoted on the stock exchanges of some markets, it only attests to the fact that you are an institution in good standing and we are recognized as a bank that is well positioned.
What will be attractive for an investor from the UK to choose Zenith Bank Ghana Limited is the fact that we have a great story to tell. Our success story for the past 12 years is unrivalled. We have always done what is right and is expected of us by our regulators. Corporate governance is also very key to us. As a Bank, we would rather lose a profit of $1 million than pay a $1 fine, and that has and will always be our philosophy. Most foreign investors look at compliance and corporate governance and so far, we have done very well in these aspects. Zenith will continue to provide support to foreign investors.


Happily Ever After!!: FHE - Halloween!!
Today Mark and Grant went into town to run around and I mentioned that I thought it would be fun to get a pumpkin to carve for family home evening. Mark was the best, and got one for us to carve!!!
I had mentioned that I thought it would be nice if his family came out to help. My family had been here this weekend, and thought it would be fun for them to do something with us. I enjoy spending time with both families. It was great that they were able to come and help Grant with the pumpkin.
This was the first time Grant has carved a pumpkin, and he thought it was SO cool. Him and daddy cut the top off, while Cami sat on the side line and watched.
Grant and me pulled out all the insides, and let me tell you, Grant LOVED THIS PART!!! Mainly because I didn't get after him for getting dirty. He was able to mess with all the goo, and I watched!!
Then Grandma and Grandpa Maroney, Aunt Shelby and Aunt Morgan came out and helped carve the rest of the pumpkin.
It was just fun to watch Grant with it. He did get a little restless, and left Grandpa Maroney to most of the carving, but he always came back wanting to know how the progress was going!
The pumpkin came out great!! We lit a candle for Grant to see the outcome. I'm very excited for Halloween this year! Grant is old enough to semi-understand what's going on. It was a fun night!! Thanks for coming out!!!!!
What a fun Halloween FHE :) Congrats!! Cami is so cute and teeny!
Way Fun!Where are you going to go trick or treating?

From Picasso: Fifty Years of His Art by Alfred H. Barr Jr., published for The Museum of Modern Art by Arno Press, New York, 1980.
I can hardly understand the importance given to the word research in connection with modern painting. In my opinion to search means nothing in painting. To find, is the thing. Nobody is interested in following a man who, with his eyes fixed on the ground, spends his life looking for the pocketbook that fortune should put in his path. The one who finds something no matter what it might be, even if his intention were not to search for it, at least arouses our curiosity, if not our admiration.
Among the several sins that I have been accused of committing, none is more false than the one that I have, as the principal objective in my work, the spirit of research. When I paint, my object is to show what I have found and not what I am looking for. In art intentions are not sufficient and, as we say in Spanish: love must be proved by facts and not by reasons. What one does is what counts and not what one had the intention of doing.
The idea of research has often made painting go astray, and made the artist lose himself in mental lucubrations. Perhaps this has been the principal fault of modern art. The spirit of research has poisoned those who have not fully understood all the positive and conclusive elements in modern art and has made them attempt to paint the invisible, and therefore, the unpaintable.

I have a VPS with CentOS 7, Apache2.4, PHP5.6 (which runs with the apache php mod) and some other stuff. Apache runs as user apache and group apache (as set in the httpd.conf file). I have set the session_path in both /etc/php.ini and /etc/httpd/conf.d/php.conf to /tmp/phpsessions and chown'd/chmod' this folder as apache:apache 777. The above example stores sessions in another folder (which is also chown'd/chmod' as apache:apache 777), but I get the same error for other folders.
So my apache server runs as apache:apache, I chownd the folders to apache:apache that I needed to and even with 777 permissions Apache fails to write to these folders.
Have you ever seen something like this? I haven't before...

A: assuming permissions and ownerships are OK, I believe this relates to SELinux.
Quick and dirty way: ... assuming you're getting Permissive while running getenforce, try disabling SELinux by running setenforce 0 and hit your script again, if it works then it was SELinux, from there you can either leave it disabled (not recommended) or turn it back on by running setenforce 1 and check your /var/log/audit/audit.log and work towards end solution.

A: Abandoning SELinux because of a few configuration challenges seems like a poor choice. Instead, I would suggest using a little time to get to know it, and look for a proper solution. In this case, it looks like a solution could be to set the httpd_sys_rw_content_t (notice 'w' for write) file context on the folder you need writable. Keep in mind that selinux fcontext takes regular expressions for targets, so your command would probably look something like this:
semanage fcontext --add \
    -t httpd_sys_rw_content_t \
    '/var/www/subdomains/vmb/var/session(/.*)?'

The regular expression applies the context rule to all files under the session directory, as well as the directory itself.
Apply the policy (only needed once) to the directory and any files therein:
restorecon -R /var/www/subdomains/vmb/var/session

It could be numerous other things, but this at least worked for me.

The Red Bank Charter School does not engage in "segregative" enrollment practices, the New Jersey Department of Education ruled last week in upholding the school's latest five-year operating charter.
In letter dated April 16 to the charter school, Acting Education Commissioner Lamont Repollet rejected assertions of bias by Fair Schools Red Bank and the Latino Coalition of New Jersey, and found instead that the charter school "is seeking, 'to the maximum extent practicable,' to enroll a cross-section of Red Bank Borough's school-age population."

Press release from Red Bank Charter School
With a little more than two weeks to go, Red Bank Charter School, a high-achieving, racially and ethnically integrated, tuition-free preK-8 public school, is encouraging Red Bank families to submit an application for the 2017-18 school year by noon on March 29, 2017.
Admission to Red Bank Charter School is open to all children who live in Red Bank. There is no test required for admission. The school offers a weighted lottery designed to increase the chances that children from low-income families can attend the school.
Since there are a limited number of openings at the school, a random lottery will be held on March 30 at 7 p.m. to select students. Children who were not selected in the lottery are invited to be placed on a waiting list for admission to the school. The school is presently filled to capacity, with more than 100 students on the waiting list.

The Red Bank Charter School is good to go for at least another five years, following an extension of its operating charter announced Wednesday night.
The generally expected renewal comes amid an upswell of tension over the school's existence, in the form of a pending claim of segregation.

As requested three months ago by two advocacy groups, the federal Justice Education Department is investigating allegations of segregation leveled at the Red Bank Charter School, correspondence obtained by redbankgreen on Tuesday showed.
The decision by the department's Office of Civil Rights to open an investigation "in no way implies that the OCR has made a determination with regard to its merit," a government letter to the complainants said.
But the revelation set off a fresh round of sniping in a bitter battle over the charter school's existence.

The Red Bank Charter School engaged in "outright fabrication" of data used to support its pending request for a five-year charter extension, opponents alleged Thursday.
The purported falsification, concerning the numbers of resident white and Hispanic children who attend private and parochial schools, was used "in a deliberate attempt to mislead the state Department of Education and to perpetuate the myth that the taxpayer-funded 200-student school reflects the pre-K through 8th grade demographics of the community," according to two groups seeking a shutdown of the school over alleged civil rights issues.
The charter school dismissed the allegations.

Students at Red Bank Charter School took to the streets last Monday, January 16, carrying signs while marching through the community to mark the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King's birthday. The exercise was part of a series of events held at the school on Martin Luther King Day, to teach students about the legacy of the slain civil rights leader.
The day began with teachers in every classroom handing out bagels to students, an exercise designed to create fellowship among students. Students also created a CNN-like news program in which they produced segments about the Dr. King, the Taliban, the Dakota Access Pipeline and the controversy over their own school.

[NOTE: This post was updated to include a prepared statement from charter school Superintendent Pennotti.]
A group of parents and Latino rights advocates have asked the federal Justice Department to "investigate and ultimately remedy" enrollment and funding practices at the Red Bank Charter School that they claim make the borough's public schools the "most segregated" in New Jersey.
In documents released Tuesday, the Latino Coalition of New Jersey and the newly formed Fair Schools Red Bank claim the school and the administration of Governor Chris Christie have violated the civil rights of borough students by failing to address ethnic, socio-econonic and fiscal disparities between the charter school and the public school district from which it was carved out 18 years ago.

[See update, below]
Red Bank Charter School Superintendent Meredith Pennotti went on the offensive Thursday, blasting critics who claim the publicly funded alternate school is responsible for "segregation" of school-aged children in the borough.
In an opinion piece published by the Asbury Park Press' app.com, Pennotti took aim at what she calls "the same small but vocal group in town" that "kicks into high gear in an effort to shut us down" when the school comes up for renewal every five years, as it has this year.
RED BANK CHARTER STEM PROGRAM SETS SAIL
Jayshawn Banks, an eighth grade student at Red Bank Middle School, peeks above the top of his laptop — just enough time to compare the sailboat blueprint he's developing on his screen with the real dinghy that is being assembled just a few feet away.
Jayshawn's classmate, Shelly Vasquez, a seventh grader at Red Bank Charter School, does the same. Both are intent on the task at hand: to build a sailboat. And while both students know they can get quick answers from their teachers in the room, they remain steadfastly independent, choosing to work with their peers instead.
"We feel like architects," Jayshawn said. "And when we run into problems, we know we can ask the teacher, but we'd rather figure it out ourselves."
This balance of independence and collaboration is a hallmark of the five-week RBCS Summer Institute, available to all elementary school-aged children.

Press release from The Community YMCA
Third grade students of Red Bank Primary School and Red Bank Charter School gained valuable swimming and water safety skills in the annual Third Grade Swim program, presented by The Community YMCA.
The water safety initiative, which concluded this week, was developed to give all third graders the opportunity for no-cost swimming and water safety lessons as part of their school day. The Third Grade Swim program began in 2011, and has helped approximately 600 children learn how to be safe in and around water. This year's program included four 45-minute swim lessons covering basic stroke development, paddling, treading and floating skills.
RED BANK CHARTER OFFERS SUMMER PROGRAM
Excursions to the area's natural attractions offer opportunities for art and science-based learning activities, during Red Bank Charter School's Summer Institute programs for grade levels 1 through 8.
Research has shown that summer months create a lapse in learning, and family socioeconomic status (SES) is highly correlated to the level of academic growth or decline over the summer. Two-thirds of the academic achievement gap in reading and language found among high school students has been explained through the learning loss that occurs during the summer months of the primary school years.
With that in mind, Red Bank Charter School has announced a wrap-around STEM-based curriculum for their Summer Institute program. Offered from July 5 to August 5 and divided into two grade level-based groups (grades 1-4, grades 5-8), the summertime activities are available both to current RBCS students and to non-students.

For the first time in its 17-year history, the Red Bank Charter School conducted a lottery engineered to give socioeconomically disadvantaged children a better shot at winning seats Thursday night.
But for parents hoping to enroll their children, the so-called weighted lottery, meant to address a lack of diversity that critics contend make Red Bank the "most segregated school district in the state of New Jersey," now gives way to another kind of wait.
That's because, in effect, there are no openings.

Report details 'systemic failures' in Uvalde shooting response
Tom Palmer, Caitlyn Shelton
Posted: Jul 17, 2022 / 12:09 PM CDT | Updated: Jul 18, 2022 / 11:51 AM CDT
UVALDE, Texas (NewsNation) — Members of the Texas House committee investigating the massacre at Robb Elementary School released their initial findings to the public Sunday, the most exhaustive account yet on the shooting that left 19 children and two teachers dead.
The 77-page report outlines "systemic failures and egregious poor decision making" by law enforcement and the school system, as well as the gunman's family. The report also says officers "failed to prioritize saving the lives of innocent victims over their own safety."
The report is the first so far to criticize the inaction of law enforcement, while previous blame had been focused squarely on Uvalde school police Chief Pete Arredondo.
According to the report, 376 law enforcement officers in total responded to the shooting in a chaotic, uncoordinated scene. The group was devoid of clear leadership, basic communications and sufficient urgency to take down the gunman.
The report also reveals for the first time that the overwhelming majority of responders were federal and state law enforcement: 149 were U.S. Border Patrol and 91 were state police, according to the Tribune.
Read the full investigative committee report on the Uvalde school shooting
There were 25 Uvalde police officers and 16 sheriff's deputies on the scene.
"In this crisis, no responder seized the initiative to establish an incident command post," the committee wrote. "Despite an obvious atmosphere of chaos, the ranking officers of other responding agencies did not approach the Uvalde CISD chief of police or anyone else perceived to be in command to point out the lack of and need for a command post, or to offer that specific assistance."
At a news conference Sunday afternoon, committee members say the main question they had when compiling the report was "Who knew what and when?"
Committee members hope the facts they have put together will allow law enforcement agencies to take a look at each responding officer's actions and determine how they want to move forward or hold officers accountable. This will be taken a step further when police body camera footage from the incident is released, which has been ordered by Mayor Don McLaughlin's office.
"The officers who knew or should have known that this was an active shooter situation by their training experience should have done more," one committee member said at the press conference.
McLaughlin, taking action after the release of the report, placed the acting chief of police for the City of Uvalde on the day of the Robb Elementary massacre, Lt. Mariano Pargas, on administrative leave.
Anger over Uvalde police inaction continues to grow
"The City has a responsibility to evaluate the response to the incident by the Uvalde Police Department, which includes Lt. Pargas' role as the acting Chief. This administrative leave is to investigate whether Lt. Pargas was responsible for taking command on May 24th, what specific actions Lt. Pargas took to establish that command, and whether it was even feasible given all the agencies involved and other possible policy violation," McLaughlin said.
A nearly 80-minute hallway surveillance video published by the Austin American-Statesman this week publicly showed for the first time a hesitant and haphazard tactical response, which the head of Texas' state police has condemned as a failure and some Uvalde residents have blasted as cowardly.
"They failed to prioritize saving the lives of innocent victims over their own safety," the committee said in its report.

"These local officials were not the only ones expected to supply the leadership needed during this tragedy," the report said. "Hundreds of responders from numerous law enforcement agencies — many of whom were better trained and better equipped than the school district police — quickly arrived on the scene."
Although the report may be scathing when it comes to the police response, committee members say the only villain is the shooter.
Hours after the report was released, Uvalde officials separately made public for the first time hours of body camera footage from the city's police officers who responded to the attack. It included video of several officers reacting to word from a dispatcher, roughly 30 minutes after the shooting began, that a child in the room had called 911.
The report provides a damning portrayal of a family unable to recognize warning signs, according to the Tribune, saying the 18-year-old suspect in the shooting had no experience with firearms.
Investigators believe the suspect had never fired a gun before May 24, but was able to stockpile military-style rifles, accessories and ammunition.
Acting police chief during Uvalde massacre placed on leave
According to the report. family and friends were aware of his desire to acquire guns but no attempt by anyone who interacted with the gunman was made to alert authorities about his troubling behavior.
The gunman targeted an elementary school with an active shooter policy that had been deemed adequate, but also a long history of doors propped open.
Multiple witnesses told the committee that employees often left doors unlocked. Teachers would use rocks, wedges and magnets to prop open interior and exterior doors. This was partly due to a shortage of keys.
"In fact, the school actually suggested circumventing the locks as a solution for the convenience of substitute teachers and others who lacked their own keys," the report said.
Committee members say with 80,000 school buildings attended by Texas children, they hope every school district reads the report and learns from certain security aspects of the tragedy.
Amid all the chaos, the report singled out the heroic actions of school coach Yvette Silva. It concluded that she "acted heroically and almost certainly saved lives by alerting the school to the attacker's advance" and that "most fourth grade classes successfully locked down as a result of her quick response."
The report was made available to the victims' families Sunday morning before being released to the public and follows weeks of closed-door interviews with more than 40 people, including witnesses and law enforcement who were on the scene at Robb Elementary on May 24.
"It's a joke. They're a joke. They've got no business wearing a badge. None of them do," Vincent Salazar, grandfather of 11-year-old Layla Salazer, said Sunday.
Lawmakers made it clear the report is not meant to be comprehensive. There are still witnesses they would like to speak with and additional reports they would like to review in their efforts to form a more complete picture of what happened.
Check back as this story is developing.

Oklahoma City University School of Law introduces new Animal Law program
Published: 03-Aug-2019
The Oklahoma City University School of Law (OCU Law), located at 800 N. Harvey in the Sooner State's capital city, has announced the launch of its new Animal Law Program funded by the Kirpatrick Foundation. School administrators believe this program could lead OCU Law to become one of the top schools for Animal Law in the country.
"As many of our students come from all corners of the state and around the region, it is not a surprise that many of them have a great interest in Animal Law," said Jennifer Prilliman, OCU Associate Dean of Administration and Distance Education. "Our new Animal Law program will allow them opportunities to learn from some of the top practitioners in the field. We are excited to expose them to this growing area of the law."
According to a press release, student interest in this field has been strong for years, and for some of OCU Law's graduates, Animal Law is their primary focus.
This new project will include four distinct parts. The first is a networking opportunity for students to network with lawyers who practice Animal Law. This opportunity is part of OCU Law's existing Capital City Connect series (https://law.okcu.edu/student-life/get-involved/capital-city-connect/), which has been established for upper-class law students to connect with members of the practicing bar before graduation for networking opportunities, mentorship, career development, and professional training.
The second segment of the project is a one-week course in which Animal Law practitioners will discuss specific topics like Companion Animal Law, Farmed Animal Law, Wildlife Law, and Equine Law.
In the future, OCU Law plans to host a public lecture, open to the community, for a nationally-recognized keynote speaker to deliver a presentation on the subject of Animal Law.
Finally, the project will provide five students and one faculty member the opportunity to attend the 27th annual Animal Law Conference (https://animallawconference.org/) hosted by Lewis & Clark Law School and the Animal Legal Defense Fund scheduled in Portland on October 25-27.
Founded in 1979, the Animal Legal Defense Fund is supported by thousands of dedicated attorneys and more than 200,000 members and supporters.
"As an animal lover myself, I am excited as we launch this new Animal Law program funded by the Kirkpatrick Foundation," said Jim Roth, Dean of the Oklahoma City University School of Law. "Animal Law impacts many traditional areas of legal study, and I know it will benefit our students to have the opportunity to explore this specific area of the law.
Oklahoma City University School of Law serves a student body of approximately 425. OCU Law's nearly 7,000 alumni practice in every state and several foreign countries. For more information, visit law.okcu.edu.

Ferrari driving experiences are amongst some of the most popular available. Considered by many as the ultimate supercar with style and power the "Italian stallion" Ferrari driving experience is a must for any car fanatic.
Owning a Ferrari is what many people dream about, but many are just unable to afford to buy this monster of a supercar. Instead, many opt for the next best thing, taking a driving experience in a Ferrari where you can get to feel the power and speed and handling of this mark of distinction as you put it (and yourself) through the paces round a race circuit.
Do you think you can handle this beast of a car, or do you know someone who likes Ferraris or who would love the change to jump into the driving seat of a Ferrari and experience driving it then there is only one thing to do. Book a Ferrari driving experience day and makes dreams become reality!
When taking part in a Ferrari driving experience you will most likely start the experience with a safety briefing and telling you about the circuit and car.
After this you will likely get to be passenger in a saloon car with an instructor for a few laps before you swap over and you do a few laps to familiarize yourself with the circuit.
After you have gained more experience of the track you will depending on what Ferrari experience you have chosen get to go into another slightly quicker car or you will be getting ton the Ferrari for a number of laps.
Again, each Ferrari experience is different depending on which you have chosen and how many laps you get and how many other cars you get to drive.
Some of the Ferrari experiences end with users getting to have even more laps in a single seater too before having the final presentation.

Left side dominance has a prevalence for trunk asymmetry.
Embryology factors could justify the development of left-right side dominance.
It is unclear how neuro-abnormality is common in trunk asymmetry with left convexity.

In some studies, an association has been reported between laterality of the curve in scoliotic adolescents and hand dominance; however, additional studies have to be performed to confirm these findings.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the prevalence between trunk asymmetry and side dominance in hand, foot and visual laterality in adolescents.
This was a cross-sectional study secondary analysis. In total, 1029 children (491 females) were enrolled from the Secondary School of Brescia, Italy, with a mean age of 12 (SD=0.9 years). All subjects underwent a screening program divided into three phases: Phase 1, collection of demographic and clinical characteristics; Phase 2, spine evaluation with a plumb line and Bunnell Scoliometer; and Phase 3, evaluation of side dominance of the eye, hand and foot with a 4-item survey.
Our data showed a prevalence of 0.43%, 1.01% and 0.87% for thoracic, thoracolumbar and lumbar curves, respectively, with a right-side dominance and a prevalence of 2.72%, 2.54% and 0.65% for thoracic, thoracolumbar and lumbar curves, respectively, with a left-side dominance.
The left-side dominance could have a prevalence on trunk asymmetry in thoracic and thoraco-lumbar curves. Our study suggests that the clinical evaluation of trunk asymmetry should be associated with the evaluation of laterality.
For some authors, the laterality evaluation should form an integral part of the scoliotic patient's assessment; the majority of these studies have only evaluated the graphic manual laterality,15 but the development of laterality is a complex process that involves a different part of the cortex.9,16 For this reason, it is preferable to use an evaluation of the hand, podal and visual laterality in subjects to verify a possible aetiopathogenesis hypothesis of side dominance.17 Therefore, the objective of this study is to evaluate the prevalence between TA and side dominance in hand, foot and visual laterality in adolescents.
The authors declare no conflict of interest, and no commercial or other source of funding was received. This study was conducted in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki, with written informed consent obtained from the parents of adolescents; the study was specifically approved by the IRCCS Don Gnocchi Foundation Ethical Committee in Milan (8/12 December 2012).
Full details about the cross-sectional study design and primary analysis are available in the study by Arienti et al.18 The main part of the study design is summarised as follows.
Recruitment was performed in a secondary school, located in a town in the North of Italy, in the gym of the school, during gym lessons, from February to April 2014. We evaluated a total of 47 school classes with a postural examination, which was included in the school scoliosis screening program.
The inclusion criterion was age between 11 and 14 years. Exclusion criteria were physical and cognitive disability, genetic polymorphism and bone growth disease.
The evaluation was based on a postural examination divided into three phases, performed once by two different physical therapist examiners. Phase 1 involved anthropometric data collection and Phase 2 was the clinical evaluation of the spine in all planes; these phases have been previously reported in the study by Arienti et al.18 That study focused on correlations between the morphology of the spine and the face, while the current study focused on a totally different aspect: the possible correlation between a neurological phenomenon (side preference) and the morphology of the spine.
Phase 3 was the evaluation of SD, which was performed through a protocol with a checklist completed for each child, where handedness was included. The children's hand, eye and foot preferences were documented by asking the child which hand, eye and foot they prefer for everyday activities, especially writing, eating, throwing an object or performing fine motor skills. For those children where hand preference for performing diverse types of manual tasks varied, hand preference was determined by the number of tasks performed by each hand.
Patients were evaluated for trunk asymmetry18 and dominance through clinical assessment.
Linear regression was performed to estimate the effect of trunk asymmetry and side dominance on the angle of trunk rotation (ATR). The sample size was calculated to require at least 30 patients with idiopathic scoliosis. Since the prevalence of scoliosis (more than 7° of ATR) is between 2% and 3%,19 we aimed to recruit 1000 schoolchildren. The study was powered for a p value set to 0.05, assuming 80% power, and an effect size where the difference between means is 50% of the standard deviation within groups.
Data were analysed using SPSS version 20.0 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA). The results are expressed as means, standard deviations, and/or 95% confidence intervals. Sensitivity, specificity, positive (PPV) and negative predictive values (NPV), accuracy, and positive likelihood ratio (LR=sensitivity/1-specificity) of each manoeuvre to detect handedness and trunk asymmetry was calculated using a two-by-two table, using as cut-off ATR≥4°. p<0.05 was considered statistically significant.
The overall characteristics of the included population are reported in Table 1Table 1.
Of the 1029 subjects included, 79.9% were symmetric (ATR <4°), 18.0% were asymmetric with an ATR between 4° and 7°, and 2.1% were asymmetric with an ATR ≥7°. Overall, 89.5% of the sample showed right-side dominance, 6.7% reported left-side dominance and 3.8% were ambidextrous. In total, 96.1% of boys and 93.5% of girls were symmetric in the thoracic region; for the thoracolumbar and lumbar regions, the corresponding percentages were 94.6–89.4% and 96.1–89.2%, respectively. ATR mean values in the subjects with TA were 4.8±1.1, 5.3±1.6 and 5.1±1.5 in the thoracic, thoraco-lumbar and lumbar spine, respectively, as shown in Table 1. No significant differences were detected between subjects with or without a SD and TA with respect to gender.
The association of right-side dominance with TA was estimated to have a prevalence of 0.43%, 1.01% and 0.87% for right thoracic, right thoracolumbar and left lumbar curves, respectively. It was not possible to consider the right-side dominance as a predictor of TA and vice versa, due to the very low sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values and likelihood ratios (Table 2Table 2).
Physical examination findings in predominant side (right).
The association of left-side dominance with TA was estimated to have a prevalence of 2.72%, 2.54% and 0.65% for right thoracic, right thoracolumbar and left lumbar curves, respectively. It was possible to consider a prevalence of left-side dominance in TA in thoracic and thoraco-lumbar curves and vice versa due to the high sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values and likelihood ratios (Table 3).
Physical examination findings in the predominant side (left).
T=Left side dominance; P=Left side convexity curve; F=No left side dominance; N=No left side convexity.
The present study investigated the correlation between TA and SD with evaluations of the hand, foot and visual laterality in 1029 adolescents. The results showed a prevalence of left-side dominance in TA with the possibility of considering the left-side dominance as a predictor of TA in thoracic and thoraco-lumbar curves and vice versa.
This study has some limitations, such as the screening procedures used which precluded a real study of the bones; the low prevalence of scoliosis and asymmetries in our sample yielded only a few scoliosis subjects, even though it was reported to be representative of a general population. Also, poor vision was not considered an exclusion criterion.
This study showed a prevalence of left-side dominance in trunk asymmetry in thoracic and thoraco-lumbar curves and vice versa. This is a crucial point for the prompt treatment of trunk asymmetry and the prevention of further progression. Further studies are necessary to investigate the development of SD in TA in adolescents.
The study was conducted in accordance with the Helsinki Declaration; written informed consent was obtained from the parents of the children and was specifically approved by the IRCCS Don Gnocchi Foundation Ethic Committee in Milan.
Consent for publication was obtained from the parents of the children.

US Open 2016 live streaming: Watch Nadal vs Pouille and Djokovic vs Edmund live on TV, Online
Nadal and Djokovic could meet in the semifinals of the US Open.
By : Ashim Sunam
Sep 4, 2016 21:00 IST
Rafael Nadal has not dropped a single set in the US Open so far.Reuters
Two of the top men singles contenders – Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic -- for the US Open will be in action for their respective fourth round matches on Sunday. If both the players win their match, chances of Nadal vs Djokovic semifinals increase.
But, Nadal and Djokovic cannot afford to take it easy in the fourth round as their opponents come into this match with impressive wins. Nadal faces Lucas Pouille while Djokovic is up against Kyle Edmund.
Here is a look at both the matches
Rafael Nadal vs Lucas Pouille
Nadal might not have been impressive this season, also partly owing due to injuries, but the Spaniard has looked good in the US Open so far. The former world number one has not dropped a single set in the competition, which will help him play confidently against the 24th seeded French player. In fact, this might be the biggest test for Nadal, as Pouille is the first seeded player he will face in this competition.
Pouille has set up a date with France after some wonderful display of tennis against Roberto Bautista Agu of Spain. It was a brilliant match, which the Frenchman won in five sets. With such victory, Pouille will come into this match confident.
Nadal may not be the player, who used to dominate matches, but the player has still not lost his touch. The Spaniard has already produced some amazing moments in the court, with the crowd cheering him on. Nadal, if he gets his A game going, should reach the quarterfinals.
Novak Djokovic vs Kyle Edmund
The top seed has not even broken sweat in his last two matches. Second round opponent Jiri Veseley withdrew from the competition due to left forearm inflammation few hours before the clash. The story did not change much for the Serbain in third round as Mikhail Youzhny retired in the first set itself to reach the fourth round.
Djokovic will meet Edmund in the prequarters, and the latter has been in terrific form in the US Open right from the first match. The Great Britain player stunned 13th seed Richard Gasquet in the first round, and emerged victorious against John Isner in the third round. With such brilliant wins under his belt, he will hope to give his best against the world number one on Sunday.
The Serbian, after a poor Wimbledon and Rio Olympics, is keen to win the last Grand Slam of the year. This match against Edmund could be a tricky affair for Djokovic, who has not had much match practice in the competition.
Where to watch live
Rafael Nadal vs Lucas Pouille is the third match at Arthur Ashe Stadium. The first game starts at 11 a.m. local time (8.30 p.m. IST, 4 p.m. BST). Novak Djokovic vs Kyle Edmund is the second match of the night session, and will be played after women's singles clash between Petra Kvitova and Angelique Kerber, which starts at 7 pm local time (4:30 am IST, 12 am BST).

Seattle Centers Rally Around Domestic Violence Shelter
November 2, 2019 – How many pancakes can build a playground? Multiple Seattle-based Bright Horizons centers sought to answer that question when the community gathered for a pancake breakfast to raise funds for the "Rebuild a Playground Project" to benefit domestic violence shelter, Solid Ground on November 1, 2019.
The Bright Horizons centers joined forces with local fire and police departments to raise donations for Solid Ground's playground which is in need of upgrading for the children in their care. The upgrades will provide a warm, rich, inviting place for children in crisis to play, and will be created with the help of Bright Horizons Foundation for Children. This pancake breakfast served as a catalyst for making the new playground a reality, raising over $1,000 for the cause. The collective goal is to raise $40,000 through a variety of fundraising initiatives.
"The equipment that is already at the local shelter is an old wooden structure, and is really deteriorating... We are really trying to completely re-gut it and give them something that will last a good five to ten years," says Monica McCary, one of the center directors. "I would like to thank everyone who helped support us through this amazing event so that we can create an outdoor play space that is warm and safe for the children at Solid Ground."

Do Aphrodisiac IV Treatments Work?
Story from Sex
Is This Aphrodisiac IV Treatment for Valentine's Day Magic or BS?
Sophie Saint Thomas
Photo: Nicholas Eveleigh/Getty Images.
It's safe to say that most of us want to feel as horny as possible on Valentine's Day. But what's the best way to go about doing that? If you're in the Beverly Hills area, you can literally inject sexually stimulating chemicals right into your veins. Exclusively available at the Roxbury Institute in Beverly Hills (sorry, rest of America), the Aphrodisiac IV treatment will supposedly not only boost sex hormones to increase your arousal but give your skin a sensual after-glow. "It makes people relaxed, but it leaves you feeling much better than alcohol," says Sara Christopherson-Whitney, ND, a naturopathic doctor at the Roxbury Institute. Unlike red wine and champagne, which are arguably Valentine's Day's most popular aphrodisiacs, women who have gotten the Aphrodisiac IV treatment say that they feel aroused and relaxed, as well as energized for days after (compare that to the depleting hangover booze can produce). Nicole, a 25-year-old patient of Dr. Whitney's who frequents the Roxbury Institute for botox, fillers, and other IV treatments, says that her lack of libido drove her to try out the Aphrodisiac IV treatment earlier this month. "I work eight hours a day, and when I get home, I'm just exhausted," Nicole says. "I'm young; I should have energy. I want to be a crazy lioness jumping all over my husband, and I'm just not." After getting the treatment, Nicole says that she was feeling "more electric than normal," so she eschewed the normal post-work TV watching with her husband in lieu of (you guessed it) getting her groove on with him. "He was like, 'What is going on here?' I'm like, 'Just go with it,'" Nicole says. So what exactly is in Dr. Whitney's so-called love potion? Does it actually work for every woman who tries it? And more importantly, is it safe? According to Dr. Whitney, the Aphrodisiac IV is a Myer's cocktail that includes minerals (magnesium, calcium, zinc, selenium, and B vitamins), phospholipids, and glutathione, as well as an injection of adrenal cortex extract and eleutherococcus (Siberian ginseng). To help us figure out what all of that means, we spoke with Jessica Shepherd MD, an OB/GYN at the University of Illinois at Chicago. First off: Is this mix of ingredients safe? Even though the Aphrodisiac IV has never been in a medical study, Dr. Shepherd doesn't see any problem with women trying the treatment to increase libido — as long as patients understand the risks, like possible drug interactions or allergies to the products in the IV (though Dr. Whitney says she screens patients to avoid such complications). In regards to the adrenal shot, which is injected into your butt after the IV treatment is over, Dr. Shepherd suggests that anyone with kidney, adrenal, or high blood pressure issues speak with their doctor before getting the treatment. As for whether or not the treatment actually works, it's hard to tell, aside from anecdotal evidence from the relatively few people who've tried it. There have been some studies on the ingredients in the love potion, though. For example, studies suggest that ginseng may indeed promote relaxation and boost energy, as well as help with sexual dysfunction (although it's mostly used by men for erectile dysfunction). But most of the research on ginseng is either small in scale or based off of animal samples, so clearly, more research is needed before we can draw any conclusions. (Studies on the adrenal cortex extract in the injection are similarly limited and hard to rely on, though the extract has been used to fight fatigue and decrease stress.) And while B vitamins are often touted for their energy-enhancing properties, no vitamins can directly boost your energy. They can help your body use energy efficiently, but they don't actually give you energy. If you're eating a nutritious diet, it's likely that your low libido has more to do with a lack of sleep, stress, or relationship issues than a B vitamin deficiency. Of course, there are many other products on the market that claim to increase women's libido (with varying degrees of effectiveness), from the overhyped prescription drug Flibanserin to drinkable "Sex Dust." There's even a new drug currently going by the name bremelanotide, which is an injection rather than a pill (stay tuned to see how that one goes over). For Nicole, who is wary of pharmaceuticals, the Aphrodisiac IV treatment felt like a more "natural" option. It's also worth nothing that, while products like Flibanserin are meant to treat clinically low sex drive (the hotly debated hypoactive sexual desire disorder), the Aphrodisiac IV is simply meant to increase your libido by increasing your energy and improving your overall mood. (For those wary of needles and expensive spa treatments, some experts say that cannabis can work wonderfully as an aphrodisiac.) Nicole says that she plans to go back for another Aphrodisiac IV right before Valentine's Day, and her husband is even interested in joining her. According to Dr. Whitney, the treatment should work for both men and women, so she actually encourages couples of all sexual orientations to come in and try out her love potion together. The whole thing lasts about an hour, and some people may experience swelling and redness at the injection site. All in all, it doesn't seem like getting this IV treatment will do any harm (for most people, at least), but it's also unclear if this actually works as a true libido enhancer. But hey, if a B vitamin shot will improve your mood and make you feel sexier, we're all for that. So if you're looking to boost your sex drive and want to try this, do as Dr. Shepherd advised and talk to your doctor to see if it's right for you. Then, by all means, go forth and get your dose of sexual arousal intravenously.
While we're arguably more in control of and confident about our sexuality than ever, there's still so much we don't know about female arousal. So this month, we're exploring everything you want and need to know about how women get turned on now. Check out more here.
