To Make a House a Home
Photo contributed by Fritz Scibbe
I was first told about The King's College nearly a decade ago. I was riding in the car with my brother—he mentioned that there was an interesting college in New York where people were studying Politics, Philosophy, and Economics.
PP&E is only one of the two aspects that sets King's apart from the majority of higher education institutions in the United States, and even the world. Yes, we are distinct in the classroom for reading great texts and asking big questions. We carry those conversations into life outside of the classroom in the form of the House System. But it's more than that.
As we are in the midst of House Executive Team elections, it seems right to reflect on the role of the Houses in our lives as Kingsians. The recent reflection on the size of the Houses during the Student Body President elections and the strain it has placed on student leaders is an incredibly important conversation we must have. We should, however, do this without losing sight of the many great things the House system has done.
As a married, older student I don't live on campus, so I understand that my perspective on the House system might be different than that of an on-campus student. I also know that my involvement and subsequent flourishment at King's is a direct result of the House of Ronald Reagan. If I am being totally honest, before I arrived at King's, I wasn't sure I wanted to be involved in my house, largely because of the polarizing effect of its namesake, Ronald Reagan. Lewis, Bonhoeffer, and Churchill all carry far less stigma in popular culture and are easier to digest for those who live outside of the world of conservative ideals.
Weeks before arriving on campus I was greeted with an email from most of the members of my executive team along with a link to the previous year's House Futures video. In it, I heard about the intense bond of fraternity and honor that existed in my House. As a combat veteran, I was relieved to hear that I would find comradery and quality friendship at King's similar to what I had in the units I had been with.
I saw the House of Ronald Reagan transform the freshmen and first-years from fresh-faced new students into men who cared deeply about the fraternal bond we now shared.
I found this brotherhood immediately upon arriving on campus when I was greeted by my Executive Team, Professor Brenberg, Eric Bennett, and many alumni during orientation. After winning The Great Race and the Drama Competition, I saw the House of Ronald Reagan transform the freshmen and first-years from fresh-faced new students into men who cared deeply about the fraternal bond we now shared.
At the Reagan Retreat, the freshmen were welcomed into a family that cared about the educational, spiritual, physical, and emotional flourishing of its members. I can say with certainty that, had I not been greeted by the men of Reagan, I would not exist in The King's College apart from classes and the library. The sense of belonging I have found here only came about from the home I found in my House.
That being said, I understand that the House System has challenges to face. The school has changed significantly in the past few years: we are bigger and better than we have been in the past. Along with our growth comes the need for growth in the House System. I have noted two primary concerns regarding the House System:
The Houses contain too many people, and thus students struggle to find home there.
Because the Houses are so populated, the roles of House leadership are too difficult to manage for 20-year olds.
Both of these concerns are valid and need to be addressed by King's leadership. I only attempt to offer my voice to support positive changes to our Houses. In order to deal with the rapid growth in the size of the Houses, it seems like it may soon become prudent to add new Houses. While this may seem an unpopular opinion, to split the Houses while students are in them, this would be preferable to simply eliminating the Houses as the size becomes unmanageable for student leaders.
There are times when we must make difficult decisions to salvage the things we love. Furthermore, since King's has been asking incoming freshmen for ideas for the addition of an eleventh House for years in the Presidential Scholarship competition, there should be no shortage of eligible namesakes for new houses.
If any member of the staff and faculty could empathize with the enormous burden placed on the student leadership of our school, it would be President Gibson. As a retired Air Force General, he has not only been a young adult in command of the lives of other service members, but also his experience at the Air Force Academy has prepared him to shape young leaders. Undoubtedly, General Gibson knew the extraordinary nature of King's students when he accepted his position: King's is a school full of brilliant young men and women seeking to better the world, and I fully trust General Gibson and his staff in their ability to prepare House leaders for their roles.
I love this school and have for a long time. I applied so early to King's that Michael Martinez, as my student admissions counselor, thought I was coming the year prior to my arrival. What drew me to King's was among the same things that drew almost everyone: the faculty, the academics, and the opportunities. But the House system is one thing that really sets King's apart from the rest. While I might agree in many circumstances that "there are no sacred cows," if we abandon the things that make us unique, what do we have left?

The coach of the Barça Legends, José Mari Bakero, has added three more names to the list that was announced just over a month ago. Ronaldinho, Edgar Davids and Simao Sabrosa will all be present on 30 June at Camp Nou for the game against Manchester United Legends which kicks off at 7.00pm CET. This will be the first time that the Brazilian star returns to what was his home between 2003 and 2008 to play in a Barça shirt.

Ronaldinho, Davids and Simao join names such as Angoy, Guzmán, Juan Carlos, Popescu, Nadal, Belletti, Andersson, Déhu, Edmílson, Goikoetxea, Mendieta, Giuly and Julio Salinas in the squad. It is expected in the next few players that more players will be announced from FC Barcelona's history.
For the Manchester United Legends, players such Blomqvist, Fortune, Poborsky, Berbatov, Ji Sung Park, Silvestre and Dwight Yorke have been confirmed for the game at Camp Nou.
After the success of the game in Beirut, Lebanon in which the blaugranes beat a team of Real Madrid Leyendas 3-2 thanks to two goals from Giuly, one from Simao and three assists from Ronaldinho, this will be the first game for the team at home in Camp Nou. The blaugranes will face Manchester United Legends once again at Old Trafford on 2 September at 3.00pm local time.
The match between the Legends from Barça and those from Manchester United will see all the proceeds from the game go to PCCB project (Pediatric Cancer Center Barcelona) at the Sant Joan de Déu Hospital which aims to provide treatment for all child cancer cases. Tickets will be between 10 euros and 19 euros and the profits will go to help build a new centre and fund research into child cancer.
Tickets for the game are already on sale and can be acquired via the usual Club channels. You can buy tickets here for Barça Legends and Manchester United legends at Camp Nou, as well as via the Club's ticket office, Ticketmaster, and entradas.com.
Barça Legends is the product of an FC Barcelona programme that has as its aim to demonstrate the value of the figure of the players who have worn the Club's famous shirt. The project aims to contribute to the globalisation of the Barça brand and promote its values via former players. Also, it aims to help players once they have retired from elite sport. The initiative will see various game and related events take place all around the world.

When I preview the Custom JavaScript Variable, it returns false. If anyone knows how to fix this, or a better way to do this, I'd appreciate it!

A: document.body is not a string. Here, try this out: document.body.outerHTML instead.
Also make sure that your GTM isn't being blocked by CSP. Check the console for errors.
Finally, make sure the time at which you check the value of the variable is after the body is properly populated.

CNF's principals were pioneers in the cyber operations business, instrumental in the stand-up of the Air Force Information Warfare Center (AFIWC), the establishment and technical leadership of the Air Force Information Warfare Battlelab, founding members of the Air Force Computer Emergency Response Team (AFCERT) and the first Veterans Affairs Computer Incident Response Center (CIRC) and have more than century of combined experience in the Air Force, NSA and industry. In the early 90s, they led the development and deployment of a global network monitoring capability for detecting malicious activities across AF networks. This capability is still in use today at over 100 locations. In 1993, they led the development and implementation of a remote on-line vulnerability scanning capability that identified vulnerable AF systems connected to the Internet. In 1999, one of the principals was hand selected to be the first Technical Director of NSA's Defensive Information Operations Group and then in 2000 the Technical Director of the jointly sanctioned DoD and Intelligence Community Information Operations Technology Center. In 2002, CNF principals led the efforts to establish the Computer Incident Response Center and the Network Security Operations Center for the Department of Veterans Affairs.
All the principals have significant experience in information assurance, network defense, intrusion detection, vulnerability assessments, patch management, incident response and forensic analysis. They have extensive expertise evaluating and integrating emerging technologies; designing secure architectures; rapid prototyping; and performing vulnerability assessments and penetration tests. They have the knowledge, experience and skills that directly contribute to the success of the CNF.

After this world-wind of romance – now its time to put our own stamp on it! The house is an extension of an existing house – brief was to create a symbiotic relationship and conversation of the existing house – even at its angled structure that only suggest the distorted panorama of the inside-outside feeling that we are trying to create – an L-shaped pool enters the living room – the sound of water soothes and even exclaims. The artifact of the house is the staircase which responds to the clients passion for the arts – it functions as a staircase, a ledge for artwork, a bookshelf, a seating, a clock, a buffet table – it is all about entertaining in this household. The interplay of heights and the creation of multi-purpose spaces are in the agenda since this is not the main house there is a fun way of exploration. Bathrooms are quirky and innovation choreographing water – weather it is about "Alice in Wonderland", an inspiration of the smoke while lighting a cigarette (a vision of the contemplative artist as if Mies Van Der Rohe photographs it at its very obsessive nature), epitome of cascading or bending spaces – this is a house of experimentation – where everyday the chair has coffee in different nooks, that artworks talk at each other in different floors, and that tables become an area of meeting, lounging, eating and conversations of the elicit kind.


I can't walk for you but I..
The strive, the strive, the strive..
If you'd been a man would your dreams have turned to sand?
Would your songs been left in shadows then?
I know that I will die, it scares me but sometimes it gives me peace.
It was not about love, I worshiped you like they worshiped Manson to.
It was not about love, I worshiped you like they worshiped Manson too.

Samsung Heavy and KAERI to develop nuclear-powered ships
2021-06-09 Posted by Frontier India News Network Technology
Samsung Heavy Industries Co. (SHI) said on Wednesday that it has teamed up with the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI) to develop nuclear-powered ships. Samsung Heavy's plan revolves around molten salt reactors (MSR), a kind of small module reactor using molten fluoride salts as the primary coolant, at low pressure, which has been emerging as a carbon-zero nuclear energy source.
The life cycle of nuclear fuel is more than 20 years, which is the same as the life cycle of a ship, so there is no need to replace it after being installed. In addition, if an abnormal issue occurs in the reactor, it is designed to solidify the liquid nuclear fuel with the molten salt, to prevent serious accidents at the source, providing high safety and high-efficiency power and the hydrogen production at the same time, said the company release.
Through this agreement, SHI plans to pioneer the MSR-based floating nuclear power plant and nuclear-powered ship market as part of strengthening its capacity for future new business expansion… Samsung Heavy Industries will push ahead with the project to foster one of its future growth engines, including technologies related to ammonia and hydrogen, the company said.
The Biden Administration in the United States has designated SMR as the next-generation nuclear power plant to reduce carbon emissions. Currently, about 70 types of SMR are being developed in the US, Russia, and China.

SPOTTED: Seahawks stars Kam Chancellor and Richard Sherman made their second trip to a Storm home game, tossing shirts during a timeout in the fourth quarter. The Storm is up 77-60, handing the Mercury its fourth consecutive loss. Check that. Bird with a game-high 31 points served up the loss. There's 2:21 remaining in the game.
BREAKTIME: Seattle is up 62-45 and Bird is close to her record with 31 points on 10-for-11 shooting from the field. Seattle is shooting 56.3 percent (9 for 16) from three-point range to compensate for getting outscored 16-14 in the paint. I'm taking a break to write the newspaper version of the story. Check the Twitter feed to the right (@JaydaEvans) for the final score. I'll return after postgame interviews to wrap it all up.
HALFTIME: So, Bird is a bucket behind the Mercury's lead at the break. She has 26 points on 9-for-10 shooting from the field and Phoenix is down 45-28 overall. Bird's career record is 33 points set in 2002 against Portland. I was at the game and she was just as amazing as she is tonight. But it is interesting she hasn't topped that mark since. Her high was 29 points last season. Phoenix simply doesn't have any consistent scoring options, so its rebounding, hustle and work on defense isn't making a difference in the score. The Mercury is shooting 27.6 percent in the first half led by 10 points from Bonner. Avery Warley has six boards off the bench. The toughest challenge will be holding control of the game. We'll see how that goes in the second half.
SCORE MUCH?: Bird just drained her ninth consecutive shot, a three-pointer, and made a FT for 24 points in the first half. Phoenix has 26 on 26.9 percent shooting.
ANOTHER LOSS?: Agler is already down three players, Clark could make it a fourth if she doesn't calm the fouls. One was a farce, but she's got three with 8:34 remaining in the opening half. She's getting more minutes than normal to help the post rotation. It may not be a factor is Bird stays hot. The PG nailed two more tough shots to go 7-for-7 from the floor so far. The Storm is up 30-15 with 7:30 on the flight. Fans are screaming for the Mercury to hurry up and lose so they can catch the red-eye home.
SAVING FACE: Phoenix ended the quarter with five quick points to pull within 22-12 at the end of the first quarter. There won't be any dubious records to open the game, but the Mercury is shooting 20 percent (4-for-20) and is getting outrebounded 11-8. Bird remains hot, leading her team with 13 points. Seattle is shooting 53.3 percent and playing aggressive in terms of limiting Phoenix's looks at the hoop.
ALL-AIR: Houston had one of those embarrassing misses where she was solo driving baseline to the hoop and missed, watching the ball go over the rim. She's sitting on the bench contemplating life now. Phoenix had to call timeout because Bird is sizzling the Mercury. She's 4-for-4 to start the game, scoring 10 of the Storm's 12-0 lead. There's 6:23 remaining in the game, Phoenix going 0-for-7 with two turnovers and one rebound.
IT'S GOOD: OK, one three-pointer doesn't constitute a healthy hip but Bird did make her first bucket of the game and looked good running the floor to start. Seattle is up 3-0 with 8:42 on the clock in the first quarter.
RUSSIAN LOVE: Abrosimova received a raucous applause during pre-game player introductions. It's her first game at KeyArena since winning Game 1 of the WNBA Finals against Atlanta in 2010. She re-signed with Seattle on June 29.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY: Storm F Alysha Clark celebrated her 25th birthday on Saturday while G Svetlana Abrosimova is turning 32 on Monday.
The Storm (7-9) is dressing nine players, but only eight are expected to play against Phoenix on Sunday. Storm PG Sue Bird was out with a strained hip flexor, missing Saturday's game in Los Angeles, but woke feeling good and will play.
Posts Tina Thompson and Ann Wauters are different stories, however.
Thompson didn't return with the team from LA, staying up until about 3 a.m. after a hospital visit to examine her left knee. She strained the knee in the fourth quarter of the 24-point loss to the Sparks and could spend a few days in LA to allow the inflammation to subside. Thompson is a native and will mostly like stay with family until she's better. Her status for Wednesday's matinee against Atlanta at KeyArena is uncertain.
Wauters was on the court warming up with the team Sunday and is going to try to practice on Tuesday. She's missed two games with a small tear in her left Achilles. Wauters, a starter, said she suffered the injury in a road loss to New York.
Agler said he'll start C Ewelina Kobryn in place of Wauters. Kobryn has scored in double figures the past two games. But the coach still expects to have to run small lineups to get by against the Mercury (4-12).
Storm reserve Alysha Clark, who played PF in college, and G Katie Smith could see time in the post to counter the absence of Thompson and Wauters.
Tonight's officials are Kurt Walker, Eric Brewton, and Jeff Wooten.

E16 interference allegations
Longstanding controversy over a section of the European E16 road passing through the Lærdal region will be referred to the Norwegian parliamentary audit committee. On Tuesday it was revealed Center Party (Senterpartiet, Sp) leader Liv Signe Navarsete, who lived beside the potential E16 route, contacted the then Environment Minister shortly before he decided to reroute the road at a cost of millions.
This graphic shows the new E16 route favoured by the Lærdal Council and approved by the Environment Minister a week before his government left office, despite objections from the national roads authority and regional authorities. It involves building a 5.5km long tunnel instead of following the existing highway, costing an extra NOK 400 million. Politicians want the matter reviewed after allegations of improper interference. PHOTO: Statens vegvesen
Debate over the eight kilometre stretch of highway between Tønjum and Ljøsne had raged for years. The Lærdal council recommended a five and a half kilometre tunnel passing Ljøsne and taking a new route the entire way from Tønjum to Stuvane, reported Norwegian Broadcasting (NRK). The Sogn og Fjordane district which encompasses Lærdal and the public roads authority (Statens vegvesen) objected on the grounds a tunnel wasn't economically viable, and wanted the new road to follow the existing route.
The case went to the environment department (Miljøverndepartementet) for a final decision. Navarsete, who lived just 300 metres from the existing road, made a personal call to then Socialist Left Party (Sosialistisk Venstreparti) Environment Minister, Bård Vegar Solhjell. Days later, a week before the government was voted out last September, Solhjell authorised the tunnel plan. The tunnel route was about NOK 400 million (USD 64.8 million) more expensive than an upgrade of the existing road, and went against the roads authority's advice.
Calls for review
"I think it's a very special approach by the 'red-green' (former centre-left government coalition, which included the Socialist Left and Center parties), only days and weeks before they went out," said Abid Raja of the Liberal (Venstre) Party, who sits on both the parliamentary audit and transport committees. "It may be this is a case we need to review closer in both committees."
"The process they have taken, which the public didn't know about before NRK broke the news, will cost the community half a billion," he said. "I believe that's indefensible." Other politicians said it may mean the entire case has to go back to the drawing board.
Solhjell admitted Navarsete contacted him directly over the issue, but justified his decision. "If the road is not built through a tunnel it would affect an important residential area with a school road," he argued. "In addition we save quite important agricultural and berry-growing land." Raja countered that based on that argument, every road in Norway should be built in tunnels.
Impartiality defended
Navarsete denied any wrongdoing in contacting Solhjell over the case, saying she's not affected by the road. "You clearly hear a road which lies between 300 and 400 metres away, but I've never felt the road has been noisy in the 14 years that I've lived there," she argued. "But if I had pushed hard to get a tunnel, it would have been completely legal. I'm not a party to the case, so I'm not disqualified."
Jan Geir Solheim, the Lærdal mayor and a party colleague of Navarsete, defended her actions and the decision to build the tunnel. "There was no doubt in the Lærdal council that this was the best option, and none of the methods we used in the evaluation showed where Liv Signe Navarsete lived," he said.
Political commentator Magnus Takvam told NRK informal contact with other ministers over cases affecting a politician's home region is normal, but this is a special instance because of Navarsete's proximity to the controversial route. "She should probably have used better judgment, since it can be perceived as working for her own interests," he said. "The reaction is probably split. People in that community think it's okay, while critics will obviously make it a political issue."
Legal and policy experts are divided over the case. Professor Jan Fridjov Bernt said Navarsete was probably competent in the matter, but should have asked others to assess her impartiality before she contacted the minister. Professor Frank Aarebrot said Navarsete made a "major blunder" by personally contacting her government colleague.

Celebrated poet says goodbye to poetry
One of Ireland's most prodigious poets and a great character of the Irish arts scene, Gabriel Fitzmaurice is hanging up his poetry hat with A Farewell to Poetry. A collection of the very best poems from across a lifetime of writing, this book is a fitting send-off and demonstration of his mastery of the craft.
Spanning his collections from 1984 to the present, it includes both his poems for adults and children, poems in the Irish language and translations from the Irish, tackling a diverse range of themes.
In his acknowledgements he thanks his friend, singer-songwriter Kris Kristofferson, for the inspiration. Kristofferson is someone who Fitzmaurice says has elevated song-writing to the condition of poetry. If Kristofferson elevates song-writing, Fitzmaurice takes the poem out of the ivory tower and into the real world, his world.
He uses his beautiful lyricism and knowledge of poetic form and applies it to everyday scenes – the football field, life as a teacher, and the talk down the local pub sit alongside the ideas of love, death, family, faith and new birth. The collection even includes a sonnet about listening to Johnny Cash! He has a way of seeing the artistic potential in the everyday and elevating the status of the mundane with his words and humour.
Fintan O'Toole says in his foreword to this golden collection: "The 'farewell' in the title of this book may seem dramatic, but the truth is that Fitzmaurice's work has always been valedictory. It is all a long goodbye."
Fitzmaurice says he has written his last poem: "The job is done. In the words of Saint Paul: 'I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith'."

What is the Daily Mail Wildlife Photography Competition?
The Daily Mail is a tabloid newspaper and website that probably isn't the first source you think to visit when it comes to viewing or submitting wildlife and bird photos.
Many people may not be aware though that the Daily Mail has been running a wildlife photography competition since 2014. It's called the Great British Wildlife Photography Challenge.
The Daily Mail is a publication that originates in the UK and this competition is obviously aimed at British wildlife photographers. As yet the Daily Mail does not have a competition for wildlife photography in other countries.
This competition is open to all entries of native British wildlife. For the 2021 competition, famous British actor and keen photographer Sir David Suchet is going to be a judge, along with six other judges.
Past winners of the Great British Wildlife Photography Challenge include a photo of a Red Kite. Bird photographers don't have to worry about directly competing with other wildlife, because there are 5 categories to enter images into:
Fish & Molluscs
There's also a category for junior photographers which can include any type of wildlife.
Photos must be of wild animals in Britain, and no captive animals are allowed.
The overall winner receives a free trip to France and masterclass with a pro photographer. Category winners receive a Nikon D7500 digital camera and other goodies. In the past, many photos entered into the comp have been displayed at a free public exhibition too.
Apart from their own Great British Wildlife Photography Challenge, the Daily Mail often provides coverage on other high profile worldwide photography competitions.
The newspaper (or website in particular) is just renowned for its coverage of just about any story of interest. And it's the Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards that tend to get the most attention and coverage at the Daily Mail. This isn't a surprise. What could be more click worthy and shareable than funny photos of animals. The Daily Mail loves viral content, and this particular light hearted wildlife photo comp ticks all the boxes.
The Daily Mail's coverage of the comedy wildlife photo awards is quite extensive most years, although they are well known for their ability to take up a lot of space without saying a whole lot! That's not to say the DM doesn't have some quality journalism at times, and in this case it's actually worth looking through their articles on the Comedy Wildlife Photo awards, such as the 2021 piece here.
You can have a browse through large size images of the top comedy photos of the year and perhaps get some new inspiration for your own photography.

They are IT: Basement denizens, banished from the upper floors of Reynholm Industries by unhinged CEO Denholm Reynholm. But at least they have each other. Computer whiz Moss (Richard Ayoade) is all brains and social awkwardness, while his Irish co-worker, Roy (Chris O'Dowd) just tries to coast through the day. Their mutual goal is to fend off as many work requests as possible and stay unnoticed. Jen (Katherine Parkinson) has other ideas: After lying on her CV she has been sent to run IT, but too bad she doesn't know a keyboard from a mouse. Together they make a wreck of both their careers and their social lives and explore the darkest mysteries of Reynholm Industries.
What does the company actually do or produce? what lurks behind the ominous looking battered red door in the basement? Is there any perversion the boss' son won't try and most importantly, how long till one of them screws up badly enough to get fired.


ANTIGONISH, N.S. — Nova Scotia's health authority has agreed to meet with Lionel Desmond's immediate family next week, almost six months after the former Canadian soldier fatally shot his mother, wife, daughter and himself in a horrific murder-suicide that renewed debate over how Canada treats former military members with post-traumatic stress disorder.
One of Desmond's sisters, Chantel, confirmed Monday that the Nova Scotia Health Authority has scheduled a meeting for June 28 at St. Martha's Hospital in Antigonish, N.S., a half-hour drive from Lionel Desmond's home in Upper Big Tracadie.
"I feel good, actually," Chantel Desmond said about the meeting.
The meeting is important to the family because it is expected to focus on the authority's confidential review of how the province's health-care system dealt with Lionel Desmond before the killings on or about Jan. 3.
Chantel and her sister Cassandra Desmond have said their brother told them he was turned away from the hospital when he sought help from its mental-health unit in the days before the shootings, but a hospital spokesman has denied similar claims from other family members.
The twin sisters recently joined a growing list of advocacy groups in calling for a broader fatality inquiry, saying they have yet to receive any useful information from public officials, including the RCMP, Defence Department, Veterans Affairs Canada and the provincial government.
Premier Stephen McNeil, whose Liberals were re-elected only a few weeks ago, declined a request for an interview Monday. Instead, he issued a statement saying the next step is for the health authority to speak with the immediate families of the victims.
The review was completed in March, which has prompted the Desmond family to complain about delays.
"We understand the frustration family members are experiencing as they question what happened," the premier said in his statement.
The sisters have been asking for records and reports to help them understand why their brother killed himself and his family in their rural home, and they say they want an independent inquiry to help prevent a similar tragedy from happening again.
Such inquiries are rare in Nova Scotia. The most recent judicial fatality inquiry wrapped up in late 2010 when provincial court Judge Anne Derrick presented a 460-page report on the jail cell death of Howard Hyde, a mentally ill man who died after jail guards restrained him on the floor during a psychotic episode.
Lionel Desmond, a veteran of the war in Afghanistan who suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder, took his own life after shooting his 52-year-old mother Brenda, his 31-year-old wife Shanna, and their 10-year-daughter Aaliyah. Since then, friends and family members have complained he did not get the help he needed after he was medically discharged from the military in 2015.
Chantel Desmond has said the family's priority is to have the province's medical examiner, Dr. Matthew Bowes, order a fatality inquiry. Nova Scotia's new justice minister, Mark Furey, also has the power to do so under the Fatality Investigations Act.
Neither Furey nor Bowes could be reached for comment Monday.
Bowes has said he, too, is waiting to see the review from the health authority, and he has said he will take into consideration the views of immediate family members if he finds the review is lacking.

(Redirected from Beef Noodle Soup)
Beef noodle soup is a noodle soup made of stewed or red braised beef, beef broth, vegetables and Chinese noodles. It exists in various forms throughout East and Southeast Asia. The Clear Broth Beef noodle soup was allegedly invented by the Hui people during the Tang dynasty and is commonly known as Lanzhou beef noodle soup.[1][2] The Sichuan beef noodle soup or Red-braised beef noodle soup (紅燒牛肉麵) was first created by the veterans of Kuomintang in Taiwan.[3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] The dish became commonly known as Taiwanese beef noodle soup.

In overseas Chinese communities in North America, this food can be found in Chinese and Taiwanese restaurants. In Mainland China, a large bowl of it is often taken as a whole meal with or without any side dish. In Taiwan, beef noodle vendors may also have optional, often cold side dishes, such as braised dried tofu, seaweed or pork intestine. Beef noodles are often served with suan cai (Chinese sauerkraut) on top, green onion and sometimes other vegetables in the soup as well.[11]
Beef noodles are often served as fast food in mainland China, with Mr. Lee being the largest chain. In Taiwan, it is sometimes considered a national dish and every year Taipei holds an annual Beef Noodle Festival, where various chefs and restaurants compete for the title of the "best beef noodles in Taiwan".[12][13] Due to influences from the influx of immigrants from mainland China in the early 1900s, the Taiwanese version of beef noodle soup is now one of the most popular dishes in Taiwan.[14]
1 Variations
1.1 Clear broth beef noodles
1.2 Braised beef noodles
1.3 Other varieties
VariationsEdit
In Chinese, "牛肉麵" literally means "beef noodles". Mainland Chinese and Hong Kong restaurants may have a tendency to distinguish between "牛肉麵" "beef noodles" and "牛腩麵" "beef brisket noodles", with the former containing either beef shank or beef slices and the latter containing only brisket. It is sometimes served with wontons. In Taiwan, "牛肉麵" typically consists of either brisket or shank only, though many restaurants also have tendon or a more expensive option with both meat and tendon (Chinese: 半筋半肉麵; literally: 'half tendon half meat noodle') and occasionally with tripe; 三寶麵; 'three-treasure noodle', usually denotes a bowl containing all three. If one orders "牛肉湯麵" or "beef soup noodles" in a restaurant in Taiwan, Mainland China or Hong Kong, they might be given a cheaper bowl of noodles in only beef broth but no beef. If one orders a "牛肉湯" or "beef-soup", they could be given a more expensive bowl of beef broth with chunks of beef in it but without noodles. In Tainan, beef soup (牛肉湯) denotes a distinct and local specialty, where sliced beef is blanched in hot soup and accompanied by shredded ginger.

There are two common variations of beef noodle which differ in the way the broth is prepared: Braised beef noodle soup and clear broth beef noodle soup.
Clear broth beef noodlesEdit
Main article: zh:蘭州牛肉面
Lanzhou Beef Noodle, with clear soup and hand-pulled noodle
Lanzhou-style beef noodle soup with chili oil
The Chinese Muslim style of beef noodle is also known as clear-broth or consommé-stewed beef noodle (清燉牛肉麵). It often uses halal (or qingzhen) meat and contains no soy sauce, resulting in a lighter taste that may be flavoured by salt and herbs. Local lore attributes its creation with a Hui Chinese man from Lanzhou named Ma Baozi.[15] In Lanzhou, Gansu, Lanzhou Beef Lamian (兰州牛肉面) is usually served with clear soup and one hand-pulled lamian noodle per bowl. In halal restaurants, only quality local beef from the Southern Yellow cattle (Chinese: 黃牛; literally: 'yellow cattle') prepared by the local halal butcher is used for the beef noodle.[16] Chinese radish and the specially cooked spicy oil are also indispensable partners to Lanzhou beef noodles. Together with hand-pulled noodle, clear soup and herbs, they are called "Yi Qing Er Bai San Huang Si Lv". "Yi Qing" means something clear, which is the soup. "Er Bai" means something white, which is Chinese radish. "San Huang" means something yellow, which is the hand-pulled noodle. "Si Lv" means something green, which is the herb.
Braised beef noodlesEdit
Main article: zh:台灣牛肉面
When soy sauce is added, the soup is called red roasted or braised beef noodles (紅燒牛肉麵). Braised beef noodle soup was invented in Taiwan. It is sometimes incorrectly referred to as "Sichuan Beef Noodle Soup" (四川牛肉麵), especially in Taiwan. The beef is often stewed with the broth and simmered, sometimes for hours. Chefs also let the stock simmer for long periods with bone marrow; some vendors can cook the beef stock for over 24 hours. The dish can also be found overseas as is the case in American Sichuanese restaurants.[17]
The dish was introduced to Taiwan by Kuomintang Sichuan province veterans who fled from mainland China to Kaohsiung, Taiwan and served in military dependents' villages (which had a distinct cuisine from the rest of Taiwan). The Taiwanese traditionally had an aversion to the consumption of beef even into the mid-1970s because cattle were valuable beasts of burden so originally the dish was only eaten by the mainland Chinese. However, the dish became more accepted over time and is now one of Taiwan's most popular foods. It is believed that the popularity of this noodle soup broke the beef-eating taboo and also paved the way to Taiwan later embracing American foods that utilized beef (such as hamburgers). The Taiwanese variation is significantly less spicy than its Sichuanese predecessor and there are several variations with the soy-based broth, such as tomato, garlic and herbal medicine. The tomato variation (番茄牛肉麵) is popular in Taiwan and features chunks of tomatoes in a rich red-coloured tomato broth with or without soy sauce.[18] The herbal medicine variation is usually served without suancai as a topping (as its acidic properties are believed to exhibit medicinal properties) and may be accompanied by a chili paste made from beef lard.
Other varietiesEdit
In Thailand, kuaitiao nuea pueay is a similar dish. In Vietnam, Bò Kho is a beef stew sometimes served with noodles (or bread as an alternative), that is similar to Taiwanese braised beef noodles. Pho is also a Vietnamese noodle soup that contains broth, rice noodles called bánh phở, herbs, and meat, primarily made with either beef (phở bò) or chicken (phở gà). In Philippines, Beef Mami is very popular, and can also be combined with Pares.
Yaka mein is a type of beef noodle soup commonly found in Chinese restaurants in New Orleans. It consists of stewed beef, spaghetti noodles, hard-boiled egg and chopped green onions, with Cajun seasoning, chili powder or Old Bay-brand seasoning.

Before any of our dogs travel to the UK they are blood tested for disease, we test for 4 different diseases - Heartworm, Anaplasma, Borelia and Erlichia. These are all transmitted from dog to dog by ticks and mosquitoes and without treatment will eventually cause death in the dog.
Many rescues do not blood test before they bring dogs to the UK (as this isnt a legal requirement) but we do things properly. However this comes at a cost. We are getting an increasing number of dogs that are testing positive for these diseases and so require 3-6 months of treatment and another repeat blood test before they can travel to the UK. We can no longer afford to absorb these vet bills and so we need your help to raise funds to be able to get the dogs treated. Without treatment these dogs will never be able to leave Romania for a better life.
These are the dogs that currently need treatment for one of these diseases before they can travel.
Each dog needs £100 to cover both its treatment and its repeat blood test. Make a donation to help with medical costs.

David Bowie and Japanese style
Japanese fashion, theater, and music played significant roles in David Bowie's pioneering career.
The Japanese designer Kansai Yamamoto devised some of Bowie's most iconic stage outfits, and in the 1960s the singer studied dance with Lindsay Kemp, a UK performance artist who was influenced by kabuki theater with its exaggerated gestures, elaborate costumes and makeup, and onnagata actors—men playing female roles.
This training with Kemp inspired Bowie as he explored ideas of masculinity, exoticism, and alienation. The inspiration extended to the musical realm as well: on Moss garden from Heroes (1977) Bowie plays a Japanese koto; It's no game (no. 1) from Scary monsters (and super creeps) (1980) features Japanese vocals; and the instrumental B-side Crystal Japan (1980) was released as a single in Japan and featured in a sake commercial.
This according to "David Bowie's love affair with Japanese style" by Tessa Wong, Anna Jones, and Yuko Kato (BBC news 12 January 2016).
Today would have been Bowie's 70th birthday! Below, It's no game (no. 1).

Q: Save child objects automatically after saving parent I've already looked at -
Save child objects automatically using JPA Hibernate
Hibernate: OneToMany save children by cascade
I have following tables -

*

*Instructor_Detail(id, youtubechannel, hobby) -  PRIMARY_KEY (id)

*Instructor(id, first_name, last_name, email, instructor_detail_id) -
PRIMARY_KEY (id), FOREIGN_KEY (instructor_detail_id)

*course(id, title, instructor_id) -  PRIMARY_KEY (id), FOREIGN_KEY

        if(courses == null) {
            courses = new ArrayList<>();
        }
        courses.add(c);
        c.setInstructor(this);
    }
}

    private Instructor instructor;

//getters and setters
}

//MainClass -
public class OneToManyBiDirectionalDemo {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Course c1 = new Course("Multithreading");
        Course c2 = new Course("WebDevelopment");
        Instructor ins1 = new Instructor("John","Purcell","john.purcell@email.com");
        InstructorDetail insDet1 = new InstructorDetail("com.john.purcell","teaching");

        insDet1.setInstructor(ins1);
        ins1.setInstructorDetail(insDet1);

        ins1.addCourse(c1);
        ins1.addCourse(c2);

        SessionFactory factory = new Configuration().
                         configure("hibernate.cfg.xml").             addAnnotatedClass(Course.class).                        addAnnotatedClass(Instructor.class).                        addAnnotatedClass(InstructorDetail.class).                      buildSessionFactory();

        Session session = factory.getCurrentSession();
        session.beginTransaction();
        session.save(insDet1);
        session.getTransaction().commit();
        session.close();
        factory.close();
    }
}

My expectation is - when save(instructorDetail) is called in MainClass, the instructor and courses should also be save automatically. However, executing the current only saves instructor detail and not instructor and courses. Only one insert is fired in log and there are not exceptions generated. I'm new to Hibernate, so my expectations or understanding may be off. Is this possible though?

A: The JPA CascadeType that you configured (DETACH,MERGE,PERSIST,REFRESH) only has cascading effect when using with Session 's evict() , merge() , persist() , refresh(). (See this)
But you are using session.save() for saving the objects .That 's why it does not any the cascading effect. Change to either one of the following should solve the problem:
(1) Change all CascadeType to ALL.

RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars Recap: What the Tuck Just Happened?
Friday's episode of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars ended with three mind-blowing twists — four if you count Lady Bunny's resurrection during her own funeral — that will change the course of the entire season.
But let's back up a bit: This week's challenge required the six remaining queens to roast the drag icon via "a eulogy as hilarious and outrageous as Bun Bun herself," and none other than Saturday Night Live's Cecily Strong was brought in to coach the ladies before they took the podium.
Of all the queens she worked with, though, Strong seemed most concerned about Trinity's routine. After listening to The Tuck's mixed bag of jokes — ranging from unfunny to incredibly unfunny — she said Trinity needed to "go back into the house and find out where she left the drawing board." Yikes.
Speaking of wild cards, the performances in this week's challenge were… well, let's just say they varied. For every Monique, who had the judges howling with her Baptist preacher routine, there was a Trinity, who flopped so hard I questioned whether it was even her on that stage. And then there was Naomi Smalls, who made things even worse for herself by awkwardly laughing at all of her own terrible jokes. Overall, it was pretty grim — even for a funeral.
Following a heavenly runway, Ru announced that Manila and Monet were this week's top two, followed by the first big surprise of the evening: "If you're not in the top, you're in the bottom," Ru told the queens, explaining that Manila and Monet could choose any of them to go home.
And before the queens had a chance to process the fact that they would now be lip syncing for their lives, rather than their legacies, they received one last shocker: All of this season's eliminated contestants are back for revenge!
Your thoughts on this week's game-changing twists? How do you predict this will all play out? Vote for the queen you would have eliminated below, then drop a comment with your hopes for the rest of the season.

BLUE / ORANGE starring Giles Terera and Michael Balogun to tour this November
Royal & Derngate Northampton, Theatre Royal Bath Productions, and Oxford Playhouse present the multi award-winning drama Blue/Orange, which opens at Theatre Royal Bath's Ustinov Studio from 29 October to 13 November 2021, before dates at Oxford Playhouse from 16 November to 20 November 2021 and Royal & Derngate, Northampton from 23 November to 4 December 2021.
Twenty years after Joe Penhall's (Mindhunter, The Road) ground-breaking Blue/Orange premiered, he collaborates with co-creators Giles Terera (winner of the 2018 Olivier Award for Hamilton), Michael Balogun (Death Of England, National Theatre) and Royal & Derngate's Artistic Director James Dacre (2020 Olivier Award Nominee Our Lady Of Kibeho) on a brand new production shining new light upon this incendiary interrogation of power and privilege in modern Britain. The play won the Olivier, Critics' Circle and Evening Standard awards for Best New Play in 2001.
Giles Terera said: "I vividly remember how fired up and moved I was watching Joe Penhall's extraordinary play when it premiered. I believe the play can speak to us just as much, if not more so now as it did then. Getting to explore its themes of identity, mental health, race and a power struggle at the heart of the NHS alongside Michael Balogun is something I'm very excited about"
The creative team includes Francesca Murray-Fuentes as Associate Director, Simon Kenny as Designer, Tony Gayle as Sound Designer, Valgeir Sigurðsson as composer, Hazel Holder and Ellie Manners as Voice and Dialect Coach.
In a London psychiatric hospital, a mysterious patient wants out. The problem is that, to him, oranges are bright blue and Muhammed Ali is a whole lot more than just a boxer.

Posters vs. the Post
Lessons from the Post.blog meltdown.
Jan 23, 200610:15 PM
Washingtonpost.com temporarily shuttered its Post.blog message board last week after hundreds of personal attacks and profane, sexist, and generally hateful comments were placed there by readers—and others—to protest the work of Washington Post ombudsman Deborah Howell. (Disclosure: The Washington Post Co. owns washingtonpost.com, the Post, and Slate.)
Howell's sin was erroneously stating that the Post reported that Jack Abramoff "had made substantial campaign contributions to both major parties"and then stepping in it all over again by stating that he "directed" money to both, which Howell critics found equally erroneous–and infuriating.
Various lefty blogs and activist groups appear to have urged readers to criticize the ombudsman, writes the Washington Post's Paul Farhi, including MediaMatters.org, Dailykos.com, FireDogLake.blogspot.com, and Atrios.blogspot.com. The Media Matters site blogged about Howell on Jan. 15, the day her column appeared, again on Jan. 17 when Post media reporter Howard Kurtz wrote about her poorly written column, again on Jan. 18, to criticize Howell for criticizing Media Matters on an internal message board at the Post, and again on Jan. 20 to knock CNN for its reporting on the Howell flap. At each juncture, Media Matters urged its readers to "Take Action" against the Post or CNN for their transgressions by contacting them electronically in a "polite and professional" manner. Media Matters told Farhi they did not approve of "out of hand" postings.
The mass mau-mauing of Howell may seem like something that could only happen on the Web, but conventional instigators have been known to boost displeasure for media outlets into the stratosphere. Back in 1986, a local radio broadcaster organized a protest against the Washington Post because she thought the debut issue of its relaunched Sunday magazine treated African Americans unfairly. She directed her irate listeners to trek to the Post's offices once a week to dump stacks of the magazine on its doorstep in protest.
In 1992, politicians and activists convinced about 200 people to picket the Reader, a Chicago alternative weekly, following its publication of what they thought was a racist cartoon of an alderman. In 1990, ACT UP vilified New York Times reporter Gina Kolata by plastering Manhattan with stickers denouncing her as "the worst AIDS reporter in America" and continuing their protest through the U.S. mail by sending her 200 angry Christmas cards. During the great Detroit newspaper strike of the mid-'90s, which was marked by violence and property damage, union organizers attached signs urging shoppers not to buy the struck papers to 30 mice and loosed them in a department store. See also any one of the letter-writing campaigns sponsored over the decades by Accuracy in Media or the perennial Christian protests against the godless TV networks.
One of the great mysteries—and disappointments—of my own career is that despite my best efforts I've never been the target of a protest by an angry minority organization, a special interest group, or a political caucus. No chief dittohead has ever directed his troops to lock up my publication's switchboard with harassing calls, stage a denial of service attack on my Web site, or visit my home at 3 a.m. with air horns.
I don't envy the washingtonpost.com executives who had to decide whether to preserve the nasty Howell posts in the name of free speech or delete them in the interest of maintaining a civil, family-friendly space. But having erected a coffeehouse where readers are supposed to get their say, it seems like washingtonpost.com was late to the question of what to do when nihilists, vandals, saboteurs, and the excitable misbehave on its premises.
I can't pretend that Slatehas all the answers when it comes to managing message areas, but our "Fray" message board does a good job of encouraging spirited discussion without engaging in heavy censorship. Fray Editor Kevin Arnovitz tries to elevate the dialogue by encouraging posters to compete for higher ground, awarding "checks" to posts he judges good and "stars" to posters who earn a slew of checks. The system seems to work. See, for example, the Fray associated with this column. Want to see only the messages Arnovitz has given checks? Click and it's done. What to block specific users who regularly offend you? A click sends them into oblivion, too. Admire an individual post and want to read more by the writer? Click for his back pages. Reading the Fray with the filters off can be like walking the streets of a vital, chatty city that happens to have open sewers. But all you need do to clear the air of 99 percent of the stink is click a button.
Arnovitz deletes messages by posters whose use of the seven dirty words—made famous in the George Carlin case—is gratuitous to an extreme. Personal threats, general vileness, and libel are shown the door, too, but strong language in support of an argument is considered no vice in the Fray. The biggest gun in Arnovitz's arsenal is his weekly "Fraywatch" column, in which he quotes especially meritorious postings, easily the biggest award a poster can receive. Arnovitz concedes that our system isn't perfect. Many check-worthy posts go unrewarded, and inappropriate posts escape his radar. Even so, I think he does a terrific job of moderating. Here's a link to comments by one of his favorite posters, Col-BullKurtz.
Are organized talk-backs destined to become a regular affair on Web sites? I reckon so. Today, for example, Media Matters' "Action Center" is exhorting the faithful to send e-mails that "Urge MSNBC to bring Chris Matthews back to reality," " Urge CNN not to provide a platform for conservative misinformation and hate speech," and ask "Why is CNN hiring conservative misinformer Bill Bennett?" When similar talk-back campaigns send readers to a news organization's bulletin board in droves, it's incumbent upon the news organization to be prepared for the hurricane and have people and computer code in place that allow for responses more subtle than shutdowns. Folks who live in houses with big windows should always keep a big stock of plywood on hand.
One last point: I invite you to go back and read both Howell's pieces and what her critics wrote about her. (Technorati links to the relevant blogs.) I'm no Howell fan, but blogger accusations that she is carrying water for the right or peddling some bias are completely unwarranted. Attacking somebody as if they are your enemy when they clearly aren't makes no sense. Unless, of course, you're among the perpetually aggrieved and you've tired of flogging the usual villains.
Urge Jack Shafer to bring Slate back to reality. I deliberately left the Los Angles Times "Wikitorial" experiment out of this piece because that incident was about malicious graffitists, not Web bullies. (E-mail may be quoted by name unless the writer stipulates otherwise.)

What is next for Chelsea boss Sarri after Man City thrashing?
11 Feb / autty
Maurizio Sarri was in a movie Chelsea watchers have seen before - and the final act does not usually end well for the man sitting in the manager's office at Stamford Bridge.
Sarri had that familiar haunted look, one worn by sacked predecessors such as Luiz Felipe Scolari and Andre Villas-Boas, as he sifted through the carnage of a 6-0 thrashing at the hands of Manchester City - Chelsea's heaviest defeat since the 7-0 loss at Nottingham Forest in April 1991.
He admitted that "my job is always at risk" while insisting he did not know whether he was in immediate danger.
Allow us to help him. He will be in serious danger, if he is not already, if this carries on.
Sarri's team have conceded 10 goals without reply in their past two away league games, having lost 4-0 at Bournemouth on 30 January. Chelsea, once a by-word for defensive solidity, conceded all four in the second half against Eddie Howe's side and four in the first 25 minutes at City.
They have now dropped to sixth in the Premier League, a point adrift of Manchester United in fourth place, having enjoyed an 11-point advantage when Jose Mourinho left Old Trafford in December.
Chelsea lacked heart, fight and any sort of credible game plan from the moment they dozed off at a free-kick in the fourth minute to allow Raheem Sterling to start the rout.
They were humiliated, embarrassed and outclassed by a team who owner Roman Abramovich would at least expect to challenge.
Since the turn of the year, Chelsea have lost away at Arsenal, Bournemouth and now City, shipping 12 goals and scoring none.
They now face a serious fight to make the top four, and Sarri's job is on the line, especially if he cannot come up with results in the FA Cup fifth round at home to Manchester United and in the Carabao Cup final against City.
It is said the Chelsea manager's mobile only tends to buzz with messages from Abramovich when things go wrong - so Sarri can expect to hear some noises very soon.
Abramovich does not expect Chelsea to be embarrassed. He is not used to it. Sarri is on dangerous ground with results like this.
The Italian cut a bewildered figure once City let fly with that early blitz that saw them 4-0 up in quickfire time.
He stalked his technical area in a mix of confusion, frustration and anger, chewing on a cigarette butt before making notes. The notes will detail a horror story when he reads them back.
By the final whistle, Sarri looked so disorientated that he flew past his friend and admirer Pep Guardiola's outstretched hand without even realising it was there.
It has been a desperate few weeks for a coach so highly-regarded by peers, as his reputation for "Sarri-ball" - high-paced, passing, attacking football based on pressing and short, quick exchanges - has taken some heavy hits.
Sarri has not helped his own case, and surely drawn some quizzical glances from Chelsea's hierarchy, when he questioned his own ability to motivate his players.
He did not believe motivation was a problem in this thrashing, which suggests the problems run even deeper.
If Sarri has a clear message, it does not seem to be transmitting to his players.
And much of the embarrassment at Etihad Stadium was down to basic incompetence.
This is where it is not all Sarri's fault. Some of the errors perpetrated by Chelsea should not fall at the feet of the manager because he would not expect them from schoolboys, let alone professionals.
How can virtually an entire defence switch off at a free-kick in a dangerous area in the early moments of such a vital match? How cab Marcos Alonso inexplicably move into no-man's land, to give Kevin de Bruyne and Bernardo Silva the opportunity to open them up for Sterling's first?
What was going through Ross Barkley's head when he directed what was allegedly a clearing header back into his own area straight to the predatory Sergio Aguero for City's third?
How can Jorginho - a player City wanted and thought they had a deal to sign before he joined Chelsea last July - look so fragile, so easy to freeze out of a game with strength of numbers?
There still seems no logical reason why Jorginho is favoured as Chelsea's midfield anchor ahead of N'Golo Kante, arguably the best in the world in his position. On the rocks of such stubbornness jobs can be lost.
These are questions Sarri must address and resolve quickly if he is to have any chance of a long-term stay at Chelsea.
History shows that once Chelsea's squad seem to disconnect from a manager's ideas, it is a tough - almost impossible - job to get them back. Jose Mourinho, Scolari and Villas-Boas can tell him all about that.
Guardiola was sympathetic to the man he holds in such high regard, flagging up his own first-season struggles in getting his message over at Manchester City.
He clearly hopes Chelsea and Abramovich will show belief and patience, explaining he is so happy at City because of the faith that his board have in him and his methods.
Here again, history is against Sarri.
Brazil World Cup winner Scolari was sacked after only eight months with Chelsea fourth in the Premier League. Villas-Boas lasted just nine months.
Abramovich is not, when the evidence is studied, a patient man. Why should he be, when his impatience has often been proved correct when measured in trophies? While many may regard the culture as unpalatable, Abramovich can point to the silverware won after he has taken those big decisions.
This was a harrowing day for Sarri - a manager now in serious trouble.

Republicans Move Barrett's Nomination to Senate Floor
new video loaded: Republicans Move Barrett's Nomination to Senate Floor
The Senate Judiciary Committee voted on Thursday to advance Judge Amy Coney Barrett's Supreme Court nomination despite Democrats boycotting the session in protest.
"As you know, our Democratic colleagues informed the committee last night that they will not participate in the hearing — that was their choice. It will be my choice to vote the nominee out of committee. We're not going to allow them to take over the committee. They made a choice not to participate. Each of you, when this is over, I hope you feel like a sense of accomplishment. This is why we all run. It's moments like this that make everything you go through matter. It's moments like this where you can tell young conservative women there's a place at the table for you." "So I just wanted to take a minute and thank you for your patience, to lay out my thoughts and observations with regard to this — these theatricals with which our Democratic colleagues are presenting us today. This is all for show. This is to try to capture a narrative, which is simply false, and to cover up what they are really about." "As I've since — as I've said, ever since she was nominated to this position, Judge Amy Coney Barrett is one of the most impressive legal minds in the United States. She's a thoughtful and fair-minded lawyer, a loving daughter, wife and mother, and a devout believer in her faith and in the Constitution. She was arguably the most impressive judicial nominee that I've ever seen in any of these hearings, and I've been watching them intently since I was a kid. Judge Barrett is going to make an absolutely outstanding Supreme Court justice, and the American people will be really lucky to have her on the bench. It is a shame that our colleagues on the other side, having failed to lay a glove on Judge Barrett during the hearings, have chosen to walk out on this process. And in so doing, walk out on the American people."

Q: Converting a C (\0 terminated) string to a PHP string PHP is one of those languages I use periodically, but usually have to dust the cobwebs off when I start using it again. The same applies this week whilst I port some C code to PHP. This uses a lot of AES encryption and SHA256 hashing - all working fine so far. However, decrypted strings come out in "C" form - i.e. terminated with a zero byte followed by "garbage" padding bytes.
I currently "trim" these C-style strings to PHP form with the following:
$iv = strpos( $hashsalt8, "\0");
if ($iv)
   $hashsalt8 = substr( $hashsalt8, 0, $iv );

Seems long-winded and that there should be a one line function call instead, but I can't find it?
Note: Although in this case the "hash salt" name implies I might know the length of the original string, this is unknown in the general case. Clearly a one line solution is available using substr() when the length is known a priori.

A: Use strstr:
$hashsalt8 = strstr($hashsalt8, "\0", TRUE);

An uglier solution for versions less than 5.3.0 (where the third parameter isn't available) uses the strrev, substr and strrchr functions instead:
$hashsalt8 = strrev(substr(strrchr(strrev($hashsalt8), "\0"), 1));

A: There should never need to be more than 32 bytes of padding right? (from your comment here)
You might be able to do something like this:
preg_replace('/\x00.{0,32}$/', "", $hashsalt8);

Note the single quotes instead of the doubles, if you use the double quotes the \x00 seems to break preg :)

A: The strtok function will do it in one pass rather than two:
$hashsalt8 = strtok($hashsalt8, "\0");
Since PHP 4.1.0, however, strtok will not return an empty string if the input string begins with a zero byte. You could do the following to handle that case:

if ($hashsalt8[0] == "\0") {
  $hashsalt8 = '';
}
else {
  $hashsalt8 = strtok($hashsalt8, "\0");
}

Note that an input string beginning with a zero byte also exposes a bug in your current code. In that case, strpos will return 0 and if ($iv) will fail.
You should use the !== operator to differentiate between 0 and false:

$iv = strpos($hashsalt8, "\0");
if ($iv !== false) {
   $hashsalt8 = substr($hashsalt8, 0, $iv);
}

Lockheed Martin gets $147 million for U.S. Army trainer systems
Lockheed Martin has received a $147 million contract modification for work on the U.S. Army's close combat tactical trainer. A soldier is shown here in a training scenario in 2015. U.S. Army photo
WASHINGTON, Aug. 29 (UPI) — Lockheed Martin has received a $147 million contract modification for work on the U.S. Army's close combat tactical trainer.
The modification allows a continuation of engineering, materials and equipment, personnel, testing, technical management and logistical support needed to complete trainer system upgrades.
Work locations will be determined with each order, and all work is estimated to be completed by September 2017.
The close combat tactical trainer integrates all facets of combat vehicle operations, immersing troops in the scenarios they will face on the battlefield, Lockheed said.
Units train and are validated in tactics, doctrine, weapons systems, mission planning and rehearsals using the trainer.
It presents logistics, artillery, mortar and aviation units with realistic terrain in which soldiers move, shoot and communicate by operating combat vehicles and employing simulated weapon systems.
The trainer encompasses the reconfigurable vehicle simulator and the reconfigurable vehicle tactical trainer, providing real-time, collective training to units of all sizes.
