For the genus of sea urchin, see Echinopsis (sea urchin). Not to be confused with Echinops.
Echinopsis is a large genus of cacti native to South America, sometimes known as hedgehog cactus, sea-urchin cactus or Easter lily cactus. One small species, E. chamaecereus, is known as the peanut cactus. The 128 species range from large and treelike types to small globose cacti. The name derives from echinos hedgehog or sea urchin, and opsis appearance, a reference to these plants' dense coverings of spines.
Echinopsis is distinguished from Echinocactus by the length of the flower tube, from Cereus by the form and size of their stems, and from both in the position on the stem occupied by the flowers. They are remarkable for the great size, length of tube, and beauty of their flowers, which, borne upon generally small and dumpy stems, appear much larger and more attractive than would be expected.
There are about 285 species of cactus. These plants have many traits that help them live in hot, dry places. Most cacti have thick stems that store water. The stems also often have a waxy coating that helps hold in water. The Golden Torch Cactus has golden yellow spines. In spring, it grows large, white flowers that bloom at night.
For the genus of sea urchin, see Echinopsis (sea urchin).

Like several other taxonomic changes in Cactaceae, this one has not been universally accepted. Amateur and professional growers still use names like Echinopsis (in the older sense), Lobivia, Setiechinopsis and Trichocereus, although many of the others listed above fell out of common usage long before the change.
Changing the genus name necessitated using some different specific epithets to avoid creating duplicate names. Thus both Echinopsis bridgesii and Trichocereus bridgesii previously existed. These are very different plants: Echinopsis bridgesii is a short clumping cactus, whereas Trichocereus bridgesii is a tall columnar cactus similar to E. (or T.) pachanoi. Under the new classification, Trichocereus bridgesii becomes Echinopsis lageniformis.
The genus name Trichocereus was given to a number of columnar cacti in 1909 by Vincenzo Riccobono, before the genus was subsumed—along with Lobivia—into Echinopsis in 1974 by Friedrich. A 2012 genetic and morphological study by Albesiano found Trichocereus to be monophyletic if it included three species of Harrisia.
A 2012 genetic analysis of chloroplast DNA indicates Echinopsis is made up of several divergent lineages. E. spachiana was not included in the study but is thought to be related to a Helianthocereus clade.
Note: some of the species listed below may be synonyms, subspecies, or varieties of others.
Echinopsis haematantha (Spegazzini) J. G. Lamb.
Echinopsis obrepanda (Salm-Dyck) K. Schum.
Many hybrids exist, mostly between similar species but also between more distinct ones, such as the cross between E. pachanoi and E. eyriesii which was sold under the name "Trichopsis pachaniesii" by Sacred Succulents.
Echinopsis species are native to South America (Argentina, Chile, Bolivia, Peru, Brazil, Ecuador, Paraguay and Uruguay). They grow only in situations where the soil is sandy or gravelly, or on the sides of hills in the crevices of rocks.
The growing and resting seasons for Echinopsis are the same as for Echinocactus. Research by J. Smith (former Curator at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew) showed that species like the Chilean Echinopsis cristata and its Mexican relatives thrive if potted in light loam, with a little leaf mould and a few nodules of limestone. The limestone keeps the soil open; it is important that the soil should be well drained. In winter, water must be given very sparingly, and the atmosphere should be dry; the temperature need not exceed 10 °C (50 °F) during the night, and in very cold weather it may be allowed to fall to 5 °C (41 °F), provided a higher temperature of 14 °C (57 °F) is maintained during the day. In spring, the plants should receive the full influence of the increasing warmth of the sun; and during hot weather, they will be benefited by frequent spraying overhead, which should be done in the evening. The soil should never be saturated, as the soft fibrous roots will rot if kept wet for any length of time.
None of the species need to be grafted to grow freely and remain healthy, as the stems are all robust enough and of sufficient size to take care of themselves. The only danger is in keeping the plants too moist in winter, for although a little water now and again keeps the stems fresh and green, it deprives them of that rest which is essential to the development of their large, beautiful flowers in summer.

The Chinese began to use silver as a decorative element in the Spring and Autumn period (770 BCE–476 BCE), and until the Han dynasty (206 BCE–220 CE) the metal was used extensively to create jewelry, luxury implements, and religious vessels. This dish is intricately decorated with a landscape scene of animals on the shores of a lake. The dish shows the advanced metalworking technique of craftspeople in the Southern Song dynasty. The animals and trees are rendered in repoussé (relief created by hammering the reverse of the object) and chasing, and then gilded with gold leaf.


Tomorrow will be my big boy's first day back to school after Christmas vacation. We've had a fun time and I am honestly going to miss him being home. Since today is our last day together I wanted to do some fun things and celebrate his return to structured education, rather than sending him grudgingly. So we had a back to school bash breakfast!
And what did he want? Cinnamon rolls. Great. Wonderful. Yum. But what about my oven? It's broke, remember. So I called up my good friend, Google. We have an intimate relationship, Google and I. Anytime I have a question, she's always there for me with an answer. I might have to fact check her every now and then, but usually she's spot on. She is a bit of a gossip, but I can look past that as her sheer awesomeness outweighs her gossipy nature.
Back to the point. So I called Google and said, "How do I cook cinnamon rolls without an oven." First she tried telling me a joke and said to put a pan outside in the sun. She obviously doesn't realize it's January, and in the 40s. No go. Then she recommended a toaster oven. HA! What part of "without an oven" didn't she understand?! Then... a ha... success! She recommended I try my waffle iron. I was totally up for the challenge!
It was as simple as making waffles, took a little less time actually, and the result was beautiful! A very thing crispy outer coating, just like browned cinnamon rolls, fully, soft insides, and the waffles indentations on top were the quintessential icing pockets. I don't think I'll ever make cinnamon rolls in the oven again. These were done in under 5 minutes, even though I had to do 2 batches!
Wanna try? Here's what you do.
1. Preheat your waffle iron. I used a belgian waffle maker since the resevoirs are a little deeper. It worked perfect!
2. Put 1 cinnamon roll on each waffle section, and close the iron. It will not close all the way, but that's ok. It doesn't need to.
3. Cook. They only take 2-3 minutes, depending on your iron.
4. Remove, ice, and enjoy!
Everyone here LOVED them. Including mama. Imagine never having to heat your oven to make cinnamon rolls again. Imagine the electricity I saved. Imagine the $$ I saved. Imagine wanting cinnamon rolls in the summer and NOT having to sacrifice the comfortable temperature inside to do so. I am over the moon about this new discovery! Now to find more things to cook in the waffle iron.

Sri Lanka U19 Selector-Manager FarveezMaharoof Continues with his media commitments
in: SPORTS
Sri Lanka's former allrounderFarveezMaharoof is providing his expertise, analysis for a media group before and after national team's matches in the ongoing World Cup in England and Wales.
For a local media house, Maharoof is giving his expertise on a show named Around the Wickets.
Maharoof, who is already in the junior selection committee as one of the selector, was recently appointed as Sri Lanka Under-19 team manager as well.
On April 6, Cricket Age had exposed that apart from drawing salary from SLC for two jobs, Maharoof is also still actively involved in his media commitments as well, doing pre match analysis and commentary for a certain media house.
After Cricket Age expose, Maharoof had written a letter to SLC, in which he has requested to give him permission to continue his media commitments.
Cricket Age has the access of the SLC management committee document, that says that Maharoof has informed the board that he is a freelance cricket commentator and expert at a media house and request to permit him to continue his association with the media house in order to share his cricketing knowledge and gaining experience as a commentator.
Cricket Age has the access of Maharoof appointment as well, and according to this he is drawing a salary of one Lakh excluding allowances (transport allowance 50,000 LKR and mobile allowance 5000 LKR).
It is noteworthy that in last few months, Maharoof has become one of the most influential past cricketer at SLC, largely due to his high level connections. Two appointments and drawing two salaries from one organisation is itself a conflict of interest and as if it not enough, he is also continue with his media commitments as well!

Q: How to get a message for editing Discord .NET I am doing a command for my bot to edit a message sent by it
But I need to get the message to edit it
I found a function that obtains it but returns an IMessage which does not have the ModifyAsync() function
This is my code:
[Command("editmessage")]
public async Task EditMessage(string sMessageId, string TextMessage) {

     ulong MessageId = Convert.ToUInt64(sMessageId);
     var Message = Context.Channel.GetMessageAsync(MessageId);

     await Message.ModifyAsync(msg => msg.Content = TextMessage); //This gives me an error because "IMessage" does not contain a definition for "ModifyAsync"

}

Is there a way to go from IMessage to IUserMessage? (IUserMessage if it has the ModifyAsync() function)
Forgive me for my bad english

A: What you need to do is await for the operation to complete asynchronously via await. Don't use .Result here as that is a blocking operation.
[Command("editmessage")]
public async Task EditMessage(string messageId, string textMessage)
{
     var id = Convert.ToUInt64(messageId);
     var msg = await Context.Channel.GetMessageAsync(id);

     if ( msg is IUserMessage message )
     {
         await message.ModifyAsync(m => m.Content = textMessage);
     }
}

A: Taking into account what I have been told, I did tests I found this solution:
[Command("editmessage")]
public async Task EditMessage(string sMessageId, string TextMessage) {

     ulong MessageId = Convert.ToUInt64(sMessageId);
     var _Message = Context.Channel.GetMessageAsync(MessageId).Result; //It is important to put the `.Result`

     var Message = _Message as IUserMessage;

     await Message.ModifyAsync(msg => msg.Content = TextMessage);

}

We have seen the terror inflicted on innocent people in Paris by Islamic terrorists. We have had our own bitter experiences right here in the USA. Yet our borders continue to be wide open to any and all.
If this most recent attack in Paris doesn't open our eyes and the eyes of all legislators, nothing will. The border must be closed and controlled. Anything less is an invitation to terrorists, Islamic or other, to enter the country and do whatever they please. This is not idle speculation. The probability of an attack on our own soil is very high.
I am not opposed to immigration. My grandparents were born in Sicily. I know the value of immigrants to our country. They must be allowed to enter legally and in a controlled manner.
It appears that the only consideration at the present time is how immigrants can be converted into votes. They are given rights, such as driver licenses, Social Security benefits, schooling and health care at taxpayer expense, just for entering the country illegally. This has to stop. Now the threat of terrorist activity makes closing the border an imperative.
Surely, the logic of this is indisputable. Our legislators must put partisan politics aside and consider the vulnerability of the country.

Regardless of where you live, chances are you're not able to avoid driving during the winter months. Whether you've got to get yourself to work or the kids off to school, the world doesn't stop simply because the roads are slippery or its snowing for the third day in a row (unless you get a snow day, that is). Even if you work from home, you're still going to need to leave the house at some point.
There's no sugar coating it - driving during the winter can be dangerous. Not only are the roads slippery and unpredictable, but your car is also at risk of freezing, slipping, or losing traction. Doing routine errands like running to the grocery store or heading to a holiday party can become a dangerous situation if the weather conditions aren't ideal, which is why it's imperative to be cautious and aware while driving during the winter.
We've compiled a list of 10 must-know hacks for how to safely and efficiently drive during the winter months. From tricks for how to reduce the amount of snow and ice build-up on your car overnight for how to become a more safe, alert driver, take these recommendations into consideration the next time you're taking a drive while there's snow on the road. It's always better to be safe than sorry!
If you're known to run late in the mornings, having to scrape snow off your car can make it all the worse. But it's one of those things you can't avoid - unless you like driving your car with snow and ice blocking your view.
One way to cut back on the amount of time you spend getting snow off your vehicle in the winter - assuming you don't store your car in a garage, that is - is to use plastic bags on the side mirrors overnight. Simply wrap each side mirror in a garbage bag and secure with an elastic band.
In the morning, you can simply undo the bags and the snow and ice will simply fall off, leaving you with clean mirrors. A tarp can serve the same purpose if you want to prevent snow and ice from falling on your windshields.
One important part of your car that can freeze is your keyhole. You might be attempting to open your car and won't be able to turn the lock at all. Just imagine how much panic you'd be filled with at this moment!
To avoid this problem, carry a bit of hand sanitizer with you at all times. Simply coat your car keys in a bit of the sanitizer and then proceed to unlock the door. Hand sanitizer contains alcohol, which effectively melts any ice inside the lock. Easy peasy, right?
Another way to avoid a frozen car lock is to spray WD-40 directly onto the locks, which will keep ice from building up.
The worst thing while you're driving is when your windshield starts getting foggy. Not only is it a nuisance, but it can also be a driving hazard, especially if the weather is already making it difficult to see ahead of you.
To reduce the likelihood you'll be stuck in this situation, simply clean your windshield with a can of shaving cream. Yes, we're serious! Coat the inside of your windshield with a thin layer before wiping it clean. Shaving cream includes several of the same ingredients found in de-foggers, so it helps prevent your windows from fogging up while you drive.
Incorporate shaving cream into your car washing routine and say goodbye to foggy windshields!
Terrified your car doors are going to freeze and leave you no way of getting inside your vehicle? Well, this tip has got you covered.
This hack works in the same way that shaving cream reduces fogginess on your windshield. Simply use cooking spray on the rubber edges of each car door and wipe away the excess product with a paper towel. The ingredients in the cooking spray will help prevent the doors from freezing shut during cold temperatures - which will save you a lot of headache in the long run.
Cooking spray can be used on all sorts of surfaces to prevent freezing. Another way you might want to utilize it is on your snow shovel to prevent ice from building up.
This hack is particularly important for anyone who parks their car outside during the winter.
If you've never known the pain of your windshield wipers sticking to the window, then consider yourself lucky. But if you have, then you're going to thank us for informing you of this life-saving hack.
Before leaving your car parked for the night, simply use long socks to cover your windshield wipers. This will prevent snow and ice from collecting on them, thus preventing them from freezing and sticking to the windshield. In the morning, take the socks off and throw them in your glove box so you can reuse them later on.
One of the most important things to do if you're driving during the winter is to ensure your car's tires have an appropriate amount of traction, otherwise, you'll be slipping while out on the road. One way to check if your tires are in good condition is to test it with a penny.
Don't freak out if your car is having trouble driving over a frozen patch or getting out of a snow embankment (or just a regular parking spot, depending on how frigid the area you live in is). Just invest in some kitty litter!
Seriously - sprinkling kitty litter on a snowy road behind your rear tires will help give your vehicle more traction. So, it will be easier to get out of sticky situations more easily or to help another car that's having problems. Simply keep the litter in your trunk during the winter so you have it on you at all times.
Don't have a cat? A heavy bag of road salt will also do the trick. So go with whatever is more convenient or depending on what you already have at home.
Okay, the last thing you probably want to do in the dead of winter is crank up the air conditioning. But don't hate on this hack until you try it.
Your car's air conditioner is one of the best de-foggers and can drastically reduce the amount of time you spend waiting for your windows to clear up. This is because the AC helps take the humidity out of the air, thus speeding up the process. Give it a try the next time your windows are foggy and before you turn up the heating.
A related hack is to give the car some air. Simply rolling down the windows and letting cold air inside before you turn up the heating will replace moist air from your breathe with colder air, effectively reducing the amount of frost on your windows.
You might be tempted to leave your water bottle for a few hours so it'll be nice and chilly when you come back to your car. But leaving liquids in your vehicle may actually only increase the amount of time you spend de-fogging your car.
Beverages can actually create frost on the inside of your windows, which means you'll be spending more time getting your car in order before you can drive away. It gets even worse if you accidentally leave a liquid overnight - if you do this, you better have some extra time in the morning to de-fog the car.
Get into the habit of taking all water bottles and beverages out of your car each day to avoid worsening the state of your car.
In poor weather or road conditions, it's imperative to utilize defensive driving skills to make sure you're being as safe as possible. Anticipate any potentially dangerous situations and be acutely aware of your surroundings, making sure to give yourself more than enough space between any hazards or fellow drivers.

New Delhi: Terrorist outfit Lashkar-e-Toiba has claimed responsibility for the six-day long gunbattle between the Indian Army and terrorists in Kupwara, Jammu and Kashmir.
Seventeen terrorists and eight Armymen are reported to have been killed in the gunbattle – one of the bloodiest in recent months.
The LeT on Tuesday sent a letter to a local newspaper in Kashmir last night owning up to the encounter. In the letter to Kashmiri daily Rising Kashmir, LeT spokesman Dr Abdullah Gaznavi writes, "We received prior information about the army movement and laid an ambush in the forest. Indian forces have lost 25 army men including a Major while 50 of them have been injured. Ten LeT Mujahideen also achieved martyrdom in the gunfight. India should understand that the freedom struggle in Kashmir is not over. It is active with full force".
While firing in the area has stopped, combing operation is on in the area. Four AK-47 rifles and some ammunition have also been recovered from the site.
Among those killed are Major Mohit Sharma, a decorated Army officer and a 19-year-old trooper of the special forces Shabir Malik.
In a press conference organised by the Indian Army on Wednesday, Brigadier Gurmeet Singh confirmed the death toll and said most terrorists had been gunned down.
"The weapons that have been recovered from the terrorists in the two encounters signal that they were trained," Singh said adding the infiltrators included "foreign militants".
In what seemed to be a confirmation of Gaznavi's warning, Brig Singh said Army feared an infiltration attempt by 300-400 terrorists in the area.
The senior army commander said that the militants killed in the encounter were highly trained, well equipped.The senior army commander said that the militants killed in the encounter were highly trained, well equipped.

Srinagar: As the combing operation in the forests of Kupwara is still going on, Army claims that all the slain militants were foreigners owing allegiance to Lashkar-e-Toiba. So far, seventeen militants and eight soldiers have been killed in the operation.
The senior army commander said that the militants killed in the encounter were highly trained, well equipped. "We have received latest weapons, communication system and maps from the slain militants," he said adding that the items recovered from the slain militants are being used by the state.
Brigadier Singh termed it as a first major infiltration attempt and said that more militants from across the Line of Control are waiting to sneak into the Valley. "As per intelligence reports 300 to 400 militants are awaiting on other side of the Line of Control to sneak into the Valley. We are prepared to tackle any infiltration attempt," he said.
Singh said this is the time when militants try to infiltrate into the Valley as not only border fencing is buried under the snow also the snow starts to melt. Besides, huge quantity of war like ammunition, army has so far recovered 23 AK rifles from the encounter site.

What would Hitch lose by believing? Of course, he can't bring himself to believe, it is not a Jamesian live option, but suppose he could. Would he lose 'the truth'? But nobody knows what the truth is about death and the hereafter. People only think they do. Well, suppose 'the truth' is that we are nothing but complex physical systems slated for annihilation. Why would knowing this 'truth' be a value? Even if one is facing reality by believing that death is the utter end of the self, what is the good of facing reality in a situation in which one is but a material system?


I'm playing with it now. It basically reads a SQL Server Trace file and shows you the longer running processes so you can do more performance tuning. It's a freebie, and also in beta. I don't know if they will charge for it in the future.
You can do the same thing yourself with Transact-SQL, and of course there are memory limitations, but it seems like an interesting toy to play with.
As always, load this kind of thing in a test environment (a VPC is ideal for that), your mileage may vary, don't run with scissors, etc.
I used ClearTrace before coming to Microsoft to perform stored procedure remediation on a really, really bad SQL Server 2000 database. It was a good tool to identify poorly performing queries and stored procs.
Now a days we have SQL Nexus and the related tools with 2005/2008. ClearTrace still has it's uses when you don't have anything to work with but a trace file.
I'll have to play with SQLNexus some more, then. ClearTrace I find invaluable – everybody should have it.

Q: Is it possible to get the SessionContext from JBoss without going through an EJB? All the answers I read discuss the container injecting the SessionContext on the EJB itself, but what if I wanted to get at the current SessionContext without having an EJB?

A: If you know any EJB name for which you would like to get Context somewhere inside a servlet then you could do something like below. But trying to get context without EJB context will result in NameNotFoundException.

InitialContext ic = new InitialContext();
  SessionContext sctxLookup = (SessionContext) ic.lookup("java:comp/env/com.TestBean/sctx");

Using ideas derived from cognitive science, Kirsten C. Uszkalo constructs a framework which moves through the stages of possession and exorcism to describe how the social, religious, and medical were internalized to create the vivid and vexed cognitive, physical, and cultural manifestations of demon possession in early modern England.
Now available at the following booksellers:
Amazon Indigo/Chapters Barnes & Noble Watersones Angus & Robertson
Scope and Objectives
The scope of this research is interdisciplinary and the results will contribute to scholarship in the fields of English, Historical, Humanities Computing, and Visual Communication Design. This study will focus on the roles of print culture in producing the concept of witch and witchcraft in Early Modern England. It will help researchers across the humanities to visualize the movement and evolution of Early English witchcraft - a distinctive, important, and often misunderstood phenomenon in European history. Taking a lead from the visualization projects done by the University of Virginia, this study will create visual meaning from a core group of texts published in Early Modern England between 1500-1700, written by a series of authors with competing agendas. Rather than strip-mining the texts for their hidden value, it will unfold them, letting the texts, as well as the researcher, create and recreate meaningful visual narratives.
This research will fulfill its objectives by addressing the following three interrelated questions:
How can we trace the series of accusations, cross-accusations, relationships, and gossips which turned a restless baby in 1657 into a double execution in March 1662?
How can we trace the movement of accusations? In the case of the Lowestoft witches, the suspicions against Amy Denny began in March of 1657 with the illness of Dorothy Durrant's son. In 1659, Elizabeth Durrant dies of maleficium. In November 1661 Samuel Pacy's daughters identify Denny and a mystery witch as those responsible for their bewitching. By the end of November, Cullender is recognized by the community as a witch. By February 1662, Cullender is accused of working alone to hurt Susan Chandler. The dizzying series of cross accusations in the community of Lowestoft provide a network where accusation could spread, and multiply. In tracing and mapping multiple accusations across a community, we can not only see how ideas about power proliferated, but also the real way that the same concepts changed lives, one pin-vomiting fit at a time. Black and MacDonald argue that GIS gives the ability to query multiple attribute databases to look for trends and changes over time and pose complex queries for one or more locations, something that is "fundamental to a comprehensive understanding of the interrelationships of print culture factors and elements in the socioeconomic environment" (2000). The use of GIS in this project will create a visual framework for illustrating how witchcraft accusations moved across towns. Moreover, in combing the publication data, one will be able to see how those accusations were affected by the press and the effect the press had on influencing more accusations.
How can we trace the various witch's familiars, which are supernatural creatures that will not even stay in the same shape?
The familiar is, for the most part, an animal spirit which does the English witch's black magical work, or maleficium, for her. It is through the familiar, rather tha n spell casting, that witches hurt their victims. How do we investigate the morphing familiar whose presence in the text is what publicly signifies a woman as a witch, but whose name, form, and use may change based on who owns it and what use they put it to? The first published witchcraft case is that of Mother Waterhouse and her familiar Sathan (1566). It creates a blueprint for the economics of the familiar which will continue to frame published cases to come. The use of GIS should help us visualize and trace temporal, spatial, and societal patterns of witches' familiars, enabling the visualization, manipulation, and analysis of "both the geographic and the attribute data to produce new information about the familiar (Black and MacDonald 515, Ottensmann 26).
How can we reconcile the meaning of a witch's mark, which keeps moving across the body, has its meaning morph over time, and also mutates its owner?
Locating and exposing the hidden witch's mark was considered irrefutable proof that a woman was a witch. The trouble with witch's marks is that they changed. Like the familiar who sucked from them, their form and function morphed. The witch's mark began as a kind of invisible, insensible mark, morphed into a flea-bite of a sore, became an excrescence where a familiar would bite or suck, then became a kind of nipple which lactated unpurified blood. Over the next several publications that nipple moved into the witch's genitals. The mark also changed meaning - from a sign of power, to a way to renew a contract, to a means of placating a fiesty familiar, to a kind of sexual organ used to pleasure the beast and hurt its bearer. The database schema will include a wide variety of data including author, publishers, and kind of text. In querying the texts, one will be able not only to cross-reference spatial and temporal details, but also illustrate connections between the publication of details on the witch's mark and its arrival in subsequent texts.

Yeovil headteacher says it is important for schools to stay open as education union calls for lockdown closure
The National Education Union has warned overlooking schools and colleges could lead to future lockdowns
Rebecca CookSenior Reporter
Gregg Morrison, principal of Preston School (Image: Len Copland)
A Yeovil headteacher has said it is important for schools to stay open after an education union called for their closure as part of the UK's second lockdown.
The National Education Union released a statement yesterday calling for Thursday's second national lockdown to include education establishments.
Gregg Morrison, principal of Preston School, said: "I am sure that everyone in education would want children in schools. We all work in schools to help develop and nurture young people and that is best done face-to-face in classrooms, rather than virtually online."
But Mr Morrison added that he does worry about students' family members and staff with schools staying open, saying: "Like all schools will, we have family members and staff who are cited as vulnerable."
Mr Morrison said south Somerset headteachers and principals wrote to Yeovil MP Marcus Fysh regarding these concerns early last month, but have yet to receive a response.
Mr Fysh's office said the MP had responded. In a letter seen by Somerset Live he said: "I have written to Gavin Williamson to emphasise these concerns and to ask for a meeting to discuss some of them.
"I would certainly agree with the theme that one size does will not fit all over the coming year and it's very important that those of you in the classrooms and running the schools are carefully listened to."
Mr Fysh has similarly stressed the value of schools remaining open after the effect closures had on children earlier this year.
Yeovil MP Marcus Fysh
He said: "One of the lessons from the first lockdown was how great the impact of closing the schools was, on young people's education and mental health as well as on working parents and local businesses.
"We saw that children from tough backgrounds fall further behind and Special Educational Needs provision fell dramatically.
"I have never been against measures where there is a high rate of Covid-19 cases but that is not the case in Somerset. Where people have cause for increased concern they should contact their school in the first instance as I know they are working really hard to stay open safely."
Nominate your Covid Heroes - the people in your community who made a difference during the pandemic
The National Education Union has warned that overlooking schools and colleges as potential virus hotspots could lead to future lockdowns.
Joint general secretary of the NEU Kevin Courtney said: "It is clear from ONS data that schools are an engine for virus transmission.
"It would be self-defeating for the Government to impose a national lockdown, whilst ignoring the role of schools as a major contributor to the spread of the virus."
A petition officially lodged with the UK Government on the matter has amassed more than 365,000 signatures.
A number of South West constituents have similarly expressed their desire for schools to be closed as part of the national lockdown.
Scientists advising the cabinet on the lockdown decision reportedly urged ministers to include schools in the scope of the measures.
This is after ONS figures have shown that the number of cases among students in Years 7 to 11 rose 50 times between 1 September and 23 October.
The ONS also estimates 1 per cent of primary pupils and 2 per cent of secondary pupils have Covid-19, with numbers that are projected to have soared since schools returned in September.
School teachers in the Union have asked the Government for further guidance and information on a number of issues, including clarity over exams next summer, assurances Ofsted inspections will be delayed and delivery of laptops schools were promised earlier in the year.

As of today, the Jimmy B house has successfully housed it's first resident for an entire month. This is an all time record for me for helping out women transitioning out of prison or jail. Not that I've given it a go more than a few times before, when I was renting and decided it wasn't a good thing to put a house that wasn't mine at risk like that.
I have a contract now, and might use it for the next potential person, who is making her way out of transitional housing and may visit the house this week, but I am not familiar with her story yet beyond that. In the contract, which seems to be a working document that I change as I go, there is a disclaimer that if anything should happen, I will move my mom in, they can be released from the contract. There is still so much unknown on that front, but time will take care of all of that.
The ever persistent message from my Lord is to trust Him with all of it. I'm reading a series by Beth Moore with one of the ladies in the prison I visit, and it's on the Psalms of Ascent, (120-134.) You read and pray though 1 every 2 days. He is speaking so clearly to me that my entire perspective is inside out or upside down or some sort of off that is entirely contrary to reality.
Every time I pray "They Kingdom Come" it is happening. As time passes this place is getting closer and closer to the Messiah's return. I tend to think things are getting worse as worse, yet, when I reflect on my entire life, Gd has only been making it better and better. He is a good Gd, working all things for the best. It took me way too long to get here, but somewhere, not just in my mind, but deep in my heart I am actually starting to believe in His goodness. It's tiny but it keeps sprouting. It's like, most of the time my thought life is wrong and then I get reminded and its a mini flood in my heart. As in heaven is real time true on this earth.
I've always been hung up on the when, or being wrong and then throwing out the idea. There is a part of me that wants to say it's happening in my house now because circumstantially things are going well, but that's not it at all. The biggest victory is within my own heart, and maybe for awhile that's the only one I can be sure of, but I choose to believe, despite anything I think, feel, suspect, ponder, or see, that the better is active and at work.


Yeah, I know this was supposed to be eradicated due to use of vaccines. The problem is that not everyone gets a vaccine, do they? In 2012 alone more than forty-eight thousand cases were reported to the CDC and 20 people died from it!
Obviously, you will have a severe cough, but the thing to look out for is the trademark "whooping" sound as you inhale after coughing. Initially, it begins with flu-like symptoms. A cough will develop after a couple of weeks and may be so intense that it causes vomiting.
Two-thirds of those diagnosed with lung cancer have a chronic cough. And it's not just smokers at risk one in four lung cancer sufferers have never smoked a cigarette in their life!
If your cough has persisted for more than two weeks, in fact, that is good advice in general! In particular look out for bloody or rust coloured mucus and pains in your chest. Although these symptoms can be caused by something as easily treatable as adult-onset asthma it's always better to be safe rather than sorry!
Is a persistent cough that gets worse at night (to be fair most coughs do!) trying to treat Pneumonia with over the counter cough medicines can actually be counterproductive as these can prevent you from being able to eject the mucus and fluid from your lungs.
Once again look out for the magic two-week marker. If your flu-like symptoms persist beyond that time period it may be Pneumonia. Of course, you might want to visit the doctor before then if you start having issues breathing, have chest pains, a high fever or are coughing up green, yellow, or blood-tinged pus.
COPD or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease affects more than 7 million women in the US alone. There are two kinds of COPD chronic bronchitis and emphysema. You are probably aware that this condition is far more common in smokers and incidents of the condition have increased exponentially in the past three decades. Although it affects both men and women fatalities are far more common in women.
Sorry but smokers need to be most aware! You will have a hacking cough that produces a vast amount of mucus (commonly referred to as smokers a cough) this will be more common in the morning. You may also suffer from shortness of breath, wheezing and a tight feeling in your chest. If you suspect you are suffering from this get it checked out straight away. Studies prove that an early diagnosis is a key to survival! Oh, and stopping smoking is a must…sorry.
Tuberculosis or TB as it is commonly known as a disease caused by Mycobacterium. Until recently it had become pretty rare in the United States but has seen a recent increase. Globally it is worryingly common with more than 10 million cases worldwide. You are more at risk if you have a compromised immune system or if you have spent time in an area where the disease is common such as Africa and Eastern Europe.
Your cough lasts more than 2 weeks (seeing a pattern here) and presents with pains in your chest. Other signs are fever, weight loss and coughing up blood. Without treatment, the disease can spread to almost any of your other systems and can be fatal. There is a reason the condition used to be called consumption.

Why Ottawa
Work in Ottawa
OTTAWA: FIND A JOB & AFFORD TO LIVE!
Posted in Blog, Entrepreneurship, Ottawa, Startup
By: Invest Ottawa | Sep 21, 2016
A quick recap.
First: A gauntlet was thrown down reminding the world that Ottawa is a tech hub.
Second: A compilation of the comments, nice and not-so-nice.
So now what? Well I want to turn back time and revisit that great piece by Bobbi Brant of Expert Market titled the "World's Best Tech Hubs to Live and Work In". It's a hot take on which one of these tech hubs will leave you strapped for cash and which ones will make it rain.
cash. money.
Her list is pulled from the "The Global Startup Ecosystem Report (GSEP)" by the firm Compass. I highlighted the GSEP in my first piece, arguing that Ottawa should be part of the conversation when looking at tech savvy cities around the world. So let's play this out and see where Ottawa ranks in the cost of living lists.
Well as Bobbi correctly surmised,
High living costs and lower work-life balance let these tech hub giants down and allow second tier startup cities such as Berlin and Austin to shine through as better alternatives.
My whole point is this: rather than posturing that Ottawa should be the next Silicon Valley (which is super lame and a horrible strategy) or that the 613 will see a renaissance as Silicon Valley North (also lame), cities should focus on promoting their strengths. I honestly believe Ottawa is place to enjoy a rewarding career and high quality of life; while not putting your wallet on life support.
So here is the list Expert Market put together. You can see the top ten is North America heavy.
source: Expert Market
To calculate the cost of living, we'll use the same source as Expert Market, the online database Numbeo. It aggregates data from thousands and thousands of users in real time. It then uses this data to rank cities across the world in terms of cost of living, health care, traffic, even a quart of milk or loaf of bread.
Here's how Numbeo defines its numbers:
Cost of Living Index (Excl. Rent) is a relative indicator of consumer goods price, including groceries, restaurants, transportation and utilities. Cost of Living Index doesn't include accommodation expenses such as rent or mortgage. If a city has a Cost of Living Index of 120, it means Numbeo estimates it is 20% more expensive than New York (excluding rent).
So here's the Expert Market list with Ottawa included:

You know what's great, Canada dominating the top ten of this list. And although the COL is negligible when looking at Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto and Vancouver — compared to their USA counterparts, it is quite significant.
COST OF HOUSING
But how much you spend on groceries is only part of the equation. What about a roof over your head? Here is what a one-bedroom is going to run you, on a monthly basis, in a North American tech hub:
NOTE: I'm comparing Ottawa against other NA cities, cause' I'm not entirely convinced swaths of people from say Barcelona or Tel Aviv, are going to move across the ocean — because they can save a few hundred dollars on rent. (But I'm always open to being proven wrong!)
Here's where Ottawa starts to pull away from the pack. Montreal still takes the top spot, but compared to Vancouver and Toronto, Canada's capital is already saving you around $400 a month. (In fact, it could be more). Compared to our friends south of the border, only Austin comes remotely close.
And that's just renting. Good luck if you want to own a house. Here was the avg price of a Canadian house in July 2016 according to livingin-canada.com(Prices in CAN):
I'm so sorry Vancouver.
Factored in In USD, that's about $284,000 for a house in Ottawa. Approximately $70K less then the average cost of a home in all of the USA! And just for good measure, here's an avg home in Silicon Valley compared to Ottawa.
Finally when we look at paid vacation and commute, according to Numbeo, Ottawa comes out at 6th and 11th spot. So taking everything into account, Ottawa is one of the most affordable tech hubs not just in North America but in the world.
BUT WHAT ABOUT THE JAWBS!?!?!
According to the Information and Communications Technology Council (ICTC), here are the number of jobs the Province of Ontario is expected to add by 2019:
source: Labour Market Outlook 2015-2019
That "Other" category, guess what? A large amount of those jobs will be in our neck of the woods (South Eastern Ontario). And perform a quick search of "software" on Indeed or Linkedin and ALL THE JOBS pop up:
So thousands of jobs in a capital city that is very affordable to live in. Sounds like a winner to me! But Ryan, you ask,"Is there anything to actually DO in Ottawa?
Yes. There is. But that's for the next piece.

This section of the site contains detailed reports of several games played using Piquet - Band Of Brothers 2nd Edition. Read through and share the fun Peter and his friends had playing them!
Historicon 2007 After Action Reports: Part 1 , Part 2 , Part 3 .
Historicon 2006 After Action Reports: Part 1 , Part 2 , Parts 3 and 4 .
The Empire Strikes Back : The Battle of Ceresole, April 14, 1544. The French are at it once again in Northern Italy!
Galley Ho! : 15mm Renaissance sailing ship game using Ken Baggaley's "No Heaven For Cowards" Piquet Renaissance Galley naval rules.
The Battle of Benvenuto : An Italian Wars Scenario for Piquet "Band of Brothers". This battle was fought as an open game/demonstration of Piquet's 1200 - 1600 AD module, Band of Brothers, at Fall In! November 1998. It was the "Opening Salvo" in a semi-fictional Italian Wars campaign that my friend, Joe Fish and I are playing - Peter.
The Flickering Flame aka The Battle of the Bolla : This game was from our Ken Baggaley inspired (thanks, Ken!) pseudo campaign of the Italian Wars. The personalities were molded using Ken's tables published in the USP &SF journal, "The Reiter", this year.
The Fire Below: The Battle of Segonzano pass : In this battle from our pseudo campaign of the Great Italian Wars, Joe Fish had the Hapsburgs, while I played the Milanese.
The Merchants of Venice : This is one battle which could be replayed many times, with even more variable outcomes possible than in the usual Piquet game.
Dog Day Aftrenoon: The Battle of Djakovo : This is one battle which could be replayed many times, with even more variable outcomes possible than in the usual Piquet game.
See You In September: The Battle of Lezhe : This battle was the sixth in a "pseudo-campaign" set in Renaissance Italy circa 1500 that Joe Fish and myself have been playing, based upon the ideas of Ken Baggaley. The overall campaign acts as a backdrop for our battles. In this action, Joe Fish, assisted by Roger Downie, has the Ottoman Turks, and I played the Venetians.
Wearing O' the Green : This was a first playtest of Ken Baggaley's No Heaven For Cowards Renaissance naval rules, using the ship scale adaptations designed for roughly 3 to 10 larger scale ships a side. They are based upon Piquet's Medieval/Renaissance supplement, Band of Brothers.
Valor on the Vega: The Battle of Velletri : This was a first playtest of Ken Baggaley's No Heaven For Cowards Renaissance naval rules, using the ship scale adaptations designed for roughly 3 to 10 larger scale ships a side. They are based upon Piquet's Medieval/Renaissance supplement, Band of Brothers.
Burnt Siena: The Battle of Monte Riggione : The background for the battle was generated by our semi-historical Renaissance campaign, using the ideas of the one and only Ken Baggaley. It also served as an introduction to both Piquet and Renaissance gaming for my longtime friend and wargames opponent, Paul Yankowich.
Shrouded by The Mists of Time: The Battle on the Po : This was the first full battle we played (on March 14, 2004/1503) using the working version of Band of Brothers 2. Joe and I were very pleased with how the rules played, with only a few areas of question identified.
The Battle of Cerignola : I fought this battle solo as an initial playtest of the Band of Brothers PK supplement (1200-1600). I had already played a number of games with the Napoleonic supplement. It was not expected that this would be an even scenario!

In mathematics, a Delzant polytope is a convex polytope in  such for each vertex , exactly  edges meet at , and these edges form a collection of vectors that form a -basis of . Delzant's theorem, introduced by , classifies effective Hamiltonian torus actions on compact connected symplectic manifolds by the image of the associated moment map, which is a Delzant polytope.

The theorem states that there is a bijective correspondence between symplectic toric manifolds (up to torus-equivariant symplectomorphism) and Delzant polytopes -- more precisely, the moment polytope of a symplectic toric manifold is a Delzant polytope, every Delzant polytope is the moment polytope of such a manifold, and any two such manifolds with the equivalent moment polytopes (up to translations) admit a torus-equivariant symplectomorphism between them.

Young White Woman Keeps Tradition Alive

Leave a Comment on Young White Woman Keeps Tradition Alive
A Texas teenager has admitted that her claims she was kidnapped and gang-raped by "three black males" were a hoax, according to police.
Breana Harmon Talbott was reported missing earlier this month by her fiancé, who said that he had found her car with its door open and personal effects such as her phone nearby.
The 18-year-old later reemerged in the city of Denison the same day, interrupting a service at a local church by walking in with visible scratches and only a shirt, bra and underwear.
Breana Harmon Talbott, 18, has admitted that she was not kidnapped and raped earlier this month.
Talbott told police that she was abducted, taken to a wooded area near the church and gang-raped by men wearing ski masks that she described as "three black males."
Medical examiners "were unable to corroborate that Talbott had been sexually assaulted," police said.
Talbott entered into a local church and said that she had been attacked nearby.
Denison Police said in a statement released Wednesday, two weeks after the alleged incident, that detectives soon developed doubts about her account and that the teen admitted to the hoax on Tuesday night.
She also allegedly admitted to staging the church entrance and causing the cuts to her body herself.
Talbott now faces a misdemeanor charge for making a false police report.
Talbott now faces a misdemeanor charge of making a false report to a police officer, though officers say that the false allegations had already caused damage.
"Breana Harmon Talbott's hoax was also insulting to our community and especially offensive to the African-American community due to her description of the so-called suspects in her hoax," police said in their Wednesday statement.
"The anger and hurts caused from such a hoax are difficult and all so unnecessary."

Exit Reviews
It's a tale that gives you food for thought, and gives you a little insight on a condition a good many suffer from in real life. Shane has created a character in which anyone can relate to. Briar's vulnerability and insecurities come across very clearly, and it's not that hard to feel for her as she tries to overcome the adversities coming her way. I'm definitely looking forward to more of Shane's future works. Thanks for a truly engrossing story!
The (male) author does an incredible job of getting inside the minds of his female characters. He also has a wonderful poetic way with words, e.g., "The low red moon glows hypnotically, a burning fire in the quiet blackness." I absolutely loved this book and look forward to more from this author.
Lynda Dickson
The book is very well written--and very dark. There are violent scenes, uncomfortable subjects--and not much room for happy endings. I was drawn to read through the pages, surprised by several of the scenes--and certainly caught up in the characters' ups and downs. It wasn't the book that I expected--but, I wasn't able to put it down until I reached the end. I would definitely be interested in reading more from this author in the future.
AJ Thompson
Briar, helped me to understand the mental anguish, the internal conflicts and conversations people leaving with phobias, depression and low self esteem live and cope with. Briar is quite a character and tries to hold it together but being in her skin seems so hard. Filer does a great job at painting a vivid and compelling picture of what people with these struggles go through daily. I have a Briar in my life and although this is a work of fiction, it has helped me to understand that world in a tremendous way.

Meristem Securities Limited has introduced a platform meant to stimulate investors' interest in stock trading in particular and the capital market in general.
Called MeriGame, the platform was launched to bridge an identified gap between practice and actual trading.
Speaking at the public presentation of the platform at the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) in Lagos, yesterday, the Group Chief Executive Officer of Meristem Securities Limited, Mr. Wole Abegunde, the platform is the exact replica of our MeriTrade platform giving access to trade all available stocks on the floor of the NSE.
He said:"Merigamewww.game.meritrade.com was launched to bridge an identified gap between practice and actual trading. Stock trading by oneself is generally perceived to be scary and doubt-ridden. MeriGame is here to demystify the process while setting users up to trade real-time confidently.
According to him, users get funded with virtual funds to simulate financial capacity in real life trading as well as regular tips and recommendations to guide them in making choices on stock trading.
"That is not all, the platform has an ongoing championship game tagged 'MeriGame Championship.' The championship rewards the top three winners financially with N100,000 at the end of each conclusive period. The winners of this game are the top three traders with the highest returns on the platform," he said.
He explained that on MeriGame, users get to practice how to buy stocks under real market conditions without burning a finger or finance while standing a chance to win financial reward.
He said the game even gets more interesting with a referral system that allows users refer people and get more virtual funds in return to increase their purchasing power on the platform.
"MeriGame also has a community forum that allows users and admin relate and get further clarifications about the platform and market trends amongst other general issues even lifestyle issues," he said.
Abegunde added that ultimately, users can always become a pro at self-trading and migrate into real market at MeriTrade and trade for returns for a successful financial future.
Some of the users of the MeriGame testified to the benefits they have gained since the introduction of game, saying they now getting to understand how the market works.
Meanwhile, the trading at the stock market was bearish yesterday as the NSE All-Share Index depreciated today by 0.81 per cent to close at 36,669.61 , compared with the appreciation of 0.33 per cent recorded the previous day.
