Most Greeks (85%) are concerned about exposure to radiation, revealed on Monday the first country-wide opinion poll on the subject, which was commissioned by the Greek Atomic Energy Commission.
The greatest part of the people questioned stated they fear possible implications on their health 79(%), while mobile phone antennas (59%) and mobile phones (57%) are the two sources of electromagnetic radiation causing the most concern.
In addition, three out of four Greeks (74%) said that they are against any typed of nuclear power use, while only one out of five stated they would be in favour.
This is the first time the Greek people's views, fears and attitudes on radiation are collected through a systematic survey performed in Greece; until now, the Eurobarometer was the main source for any data available.
– The survey recorded an information gap when it comes to dealing with nuclear pollution emergencies, since 76% said they have "little" or "none" information on the procedures.
– 64% stated that Greece's pertinent authorities do not handle radiation and nuclear safety with transparency.
The survey was conducted on a sample of 1,811 people through telephone interviews in June and July 2018, by the research and polling company Palmos Analysis.

Since yesterday when I launch the Deezer App downloaded from the windows 10 store it just opens up a blank form.
I have tried uninstalling and re-installing but it does not solve the issue. Has anyone else had this issue? Does anyone know a solution?
As administrator said. Need to install software into the System Partition. Usually it's named as C: and marked with Windows 10 icon above. For some reasons Windows changed my preferred installation directory to another directory. After digging through google searches, I found how to find settings for this redirection. Windows Start menu > Settings > System > Storage. Will be options down below at section "More storage settings" with "Change where new content is saved". After changing back to C: directory the Deezer app started working again after re-installation. The structure how you see Windows settings menu is up to Windows current version. Hope it will help.
Quit in task mngr. Uninstall. Reinstall. Turn off AVG anti virus. Turn off system and back on.
Windows 10 home 64 bit. Updated.
App opens and then just sits there in grey. No deezer logo or login request.
Same for me. After the last update Deezer app hangs with a gray screen. I have tried all options provided by Windows 10, not is beneficial.
same here. I downloaded the latest windows app, then deezer was missing from listed programs. so i deleted all files etc and reinstalled from MS store. now, when i open, i just get blank grey deezer window.
Hi @careyschulz @ollie powell @vehbi mac we are aware of this issue, we are still investigating I am afraid. Please bear with us until we find a solution.
I've had a look at the event viewer and there seems to be some problem with the "AppState" from the "AppModel" while installing it.
£20 for hifi and cant even get it to load on a 6k pc .. what a waste of money !!
I just installed the new Windows 10 desktop app from the MS store on two of my other computers while my main one still has the standalone beta desktop app. During the installation process I had to confirm a message from the Windows Defender firewall that this new app is allowed to be used in private networks on both computers or otherwise it would be blocked. I guess if you have other firewalls and/or antivirus software installed, you have to allow Deezer the same in their settings or simply disable these firewalls during installation.
This new MS Store app replaces the old Windows 10 app, by the way, which is not developed any further or supported anymore.
im asking for a refund on my hifi account .. will go back to tidal .
So exactly how long are we looking at for a fix? Frustrating.
"The app started working after I moved it from D drive to C drive, where windows itself is installed.
If I try to move it away from C drive, where windows is located, it just shows a blank screen.""
I just has an email from suport comfirming this as i had it installed on Drive D and moved it and its working fine now . brilliant i can now listen in lossless !!
after using Deezer music for several years on my laptop. It suddenly disappeared from my screen. And after many times downloading it again all i get is a black screen en no music. now i have only deezer on my iphon.
please what can i do to fix this. my laptop is my only possibility for music in my house.
Hi, I could solve this blank screen issue by moving Deezer app from D : (1 TB HDD) (where the app was installed even if C drive is set as the default drive for apps) to C: (256 MB SSD) in Windows settings.
I hope it's true, it's been more than 2 months for me.
With my Hifi account i need to download those hd songs on my pc.
Hi guys, I was having the same problem, but I think I found a solution. Apparently the music is stored on the AppData/Roaming/Deezer folder of the Windows user, so you can either create a symbolic link to another drive, or move the entire Roaming folder (i did the second one, since my Roaming folder was actually quite big).
I was also thinking of getting back on older version, but doesn't seem to be a way to do it with microsoft store apps ?


Platinum miner, Zimplats recorded a $45,53 million profit in the year ended June, 2017, up from $7,32 million achieved in the prior year, a performance the company mainly attributed to a Government export incentive scheme.
In its preliminary final report, the company said it was awarded a 2,5 percent incentive on export proceeds received in Zimbabwe.
"The profit for the year ended June 30, 2017, was boosted by a total of $34,8 million realised from the export incentive and disposal of treasury bills from the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ)," Zimplats said.
The company realized $20,8 million from the disposal of treasury bills. Revenue for the year increased by 9 percent to $512,5 million from $471 million due to improved metal prices.
Average metal prices improved from $1 638 in the prior year to $1 868 in the period under review. The increase in revenue was despite a 5 percent decrease in sales volumes which declined from 582 833 ounces to 555 892 ounces.
On operations, Zimplats achieved record ore production of 7 million tons due to improved production from the Bimha Mine which contributed 916 000 tonnes to total production. The company also achieved a record number of tons milled during the year.
"A record 6,7 million tons of ore were milled in the year compared to 6,4 million tons milled in the previous period," it said.
"This was largely due to good plant running time achieved over the year and improved ore supply from the mines."
But, the company said total platinum ounces produced and sold in the year under review decreased from 290 410 ounces and 288 063 ounces recorded in the prior year, to 281 069 ounces and 274 364 ounces, respectively.
On projects being carried out, Zimplats said the Selous Metallurgical Complex Base Metal Refinery refurbishment project remained constrained by cash flow challenges, with total project expenditure as at June, 30, 2017 standing at $23,4 million.
At least $20,6 million was spent on the redevelopment of the Bimha Mine in the just ended year and it remained on schedule to achieve design production capacity by April 2018.
"A total of $4 million was spent on expansion projects during the year compared to $27 million in the previous period.
"A total of $59 million was spent on stay in business projects during the period, 40 percent higher than the $42 million spent in the previous period."

Thank you for giving the plants a voice….and thereby helping them sing their beautiful, lyrical arias with such grace and grandeur.
Thanks so much for this lovely comment, Annie.
Every time I read one of your posts, and am thrilled by your exquisite photos, I'm able to see a little more wisely the luminosity of "my" plants and rocks and gravel and stonework. What a blessing!
Thank you for this beautiful comment. Interesting take on 'regaining' being more martial. I first wanted a play on words from Paradise Regained, though Milton's poem has absolutely nothing to do with this subject, and 'Paradise Retained' didn't make the cut. But I'll happily take a word that's 'filled with respect, reverence, perception, and gratitude'!

A bone regeneration process in which surgically implanted electrodes convey electric current, particularly at nonunion fracture sites; effective because of the different electrical potentials within bone tissue.
The process is effective because of the different electric potentials within bone tissue. Viable non-stressed bone is electronegative in the metaphysical regions and over a fracture callus and electropositive in the diaphyses and other less active regions.
Electric stimulation of the fractures can accelerate osteogenesis, forming bone more quickly in the area of a surgically inserted negative electrode.
Electrically stimulated osteogenesis can be achieved with a device that stimulates the fracture site electrically by means of several surgically implanted cathodes.
Another method for applying electrical current to fractured bone involves an open surgical procedure and implantation of electrodes.

Mall of America to reopen June 1 with new safety protocols
By Associated Press|2020-05-15T04:56:35-05:00May 15th, 2020|
The Mall of America, which is the largest shopping and entertainment complex in North America, will partially reopen on June 1 in compliance with Minnesota's new safety protocols for slowly reopening the economy during the COVID-19 pandemic. The managers of suburban Minneapolis mall said Thursday that Gov. Tim Walz's decision Wednesday to allow his stay-at-home order to expire and to allow retailers to start reopening Monday was "promising news." The mall, which has more than 520 stores and restaurants, temporarily closed on March 17, though some of its merchants recently began offering curbside service.

The BBC news on Friday reported that the newly designed divorce petition, asks for the name "of the person your spouse has committed adultery with" and felt that this would lead to an increase in co-respondents being named in adultery petitions.
It has always been possible to name the co-respondent but many solicitors advise their client not to do so, as it leads to unnecessary cost and delay.
It is not compulsory to add the co-respondent's name and the newly designed form does say that "people do not generally name the person their spouse committed adultery with."
If you need any advice in commencing divorce proceedings, then one of the family team will be able to assist.
The online form has been updated to make the legal process more user-friendly - especially as some complete the process without seeking legal advice. The guidance on the form highlights that it is "not normally necessary" to name the person your spouse committed adultery with. But Georgina Hamblin, director at divorce lawyers, Vardags, said people are "unlikely to read the much smaller print or choose to ignore it". The older version of the form left a space for so-called "co-respondents" to be named where appropriate.

Pakistani actress Hareem Farooq on Expo 2020 Dubai, and leaving a legacy as an artist
Hareem was recently in Dubai to inaugurate the Pakistan Film Festival at Expo 2020 Dubai
Staff Writer, Khaleej Times
PAKISTANMEDIAEXPAT-INDIAEXPO 2020
At a time when television sets are brimming with characters of damsels in distress, Pakistani actress Hareem Farooq's trajectory of work comes across as a breath of fresh air. With experience ranging from TV to theatre to films to production, she has been juggling these avatars for quite some time and over time, she has proven herself to be good at all of them.
Hareem was recently in Dubai to inaugurate the Pakistan Film Festival at Expo 2020 Dubai and she also walked for Amato at Arab Fashion Week. City Times caught up with the very progressive actress during her time in the city.
Praising Dubai and its current vibes, she said, "I hadn't taken a break from work for long. I had my visit at Expo 2020 Dubai lined up with Arab Fashion Week as well. I thought I'll leave right after these two but when I landed here and saw the buzz, it seemed like Dubai has changed the game for all. It's been a week and I haven't gone back as yet. There is so much to do and so many places to visit. Honestly if I did not have the set waiting, I would have extended my stay further."
On the agenda of her visit to Dubai was the Pakistan Film Festival ran for a week in January at the Pakistan pavilion at Expo. Two of her hit films, Parchi and Heer Maan Ja were screened. "I was so happy to learn from the Information Minister himself that they are launching a full-fledged film festival at the Expo. Very few governments in the past have tried to bridge the gap between politics and entertainment but I have to say that the current government is doing its best in helping the media industry realise its full potential. Such representations put out a very positive and progressive image of Pakistan."
She is well aware that the media and entertainment industry in the Gulf region including Saudi Arabia is booming. So would she be open for a collaboration, we asked. She was excited to share, "I am honestly looking and exploring potential collaboration opportunities in this region. UAE and the region in particular offer great locations, infrastructure, production set-up and the talent. So, I am really interested in a joint venture and seeing what creative things could come out as a result."
While she is all for collaborations outside Pakistan, we enquired about the dismal state of cinemas in Pakistan that are closing down, as it has become harder to get decent footfall. Does it not scare the producer in her?
Her response was rather courageous; she said, "I always wanted to have my production house. I don't believe in procrastination; if there is something I want to start in next fifteen years, why not now? With this production house, what I am doing now is setting a strong foundation for myself, for my industry, and for my country. And it's a learning-curve. Also, as far as cinema is concerned, I firmly believe that if you give the audience something unique and novel, they will accept it. My job is to ensure that I put my heart and soul in my project and deliver it with full honesty. Then leave the rest for audience to decide."
She further made an interesting point about measuring success of films. 'It's a thing of a past where only the box office numbers would define the success of a project. We have had several instances in India and Pakistan where films that did not do well commercially were declared as classics few years down the road such as Cake and Lal Kabootar. Sometimes, niche films bring into the limelight a talent that commercial films don't. So just looking at the numbers to define the success of a project is not enough. One has to look at a bigger contribution and impact that the project has made. For me, when fans come to me and say that I have impacted their lives through my work, that is when I feel most satisfied. I did not set up a production house to make hit films, it is there to create an impact and to leave a legacy."
Unless you are living under a rock, you must have seen Hareem's fans sharing videos of her dancing at her family and friends' weddings. She had also opened the first PISA Awards with her live performance at the Coca-Cola Arena in Dubai. She is also one of the most followed celebrities in Pakistan.
But Hareem feels shy to share candid pictures on social media. "I honestly feel confused and shy about sharing my images out there. First of all, I am not too savvy when it comes to handling social media, but my team does it for me. I think at times I feel that I am such a loser when it comes to social media management. I think it's a great platform to connect with your people and share your work. Though I am yet to get the hang of it."
Speaking of the Internet, OTT is the new medium of entertainment and mega stars are venturing into it. Hareem feels that the advent of OTT and social media has blurred the lines between a film star and a TV star.
"Today we see biggest stars across the world venturing into the OTT platform either by acting in it or producing for it. Even the rules of stardom have been challenged like never before. Stars can no more dish out the same formula and rely on it. No matter how big a star you are, if you are being monotonous and are not putting effort to bring out something new, then people today don't care about your image. They move on with just a click of a button. The options have increased so much."
Being a producer, one has certain level of understanding of the pulse of the audience. When the actor is also a producer, it is common to have conflicts and the clash of ideas. And Hareem acknowledges that. She shares, "The productions that I have been a part of either on television or in films have been very open when it comes to sharing of ideas. I won't say that I am someone who would blindly surrender to someone else's vision especially when I feel that there are certain questionable areas. Sometimes, you share an idea based on your own experience that you bring to the set and sometimes your vision is corrected based on your team's experience. So it's a two-way traffic. At the end of the day, no one should go back home sulking."

What is a Technical Support Engineer?
Bryon Turcotte
A technical support engineer deals with all levels of troubleshooting and problem solving for a given product. Using his technical knowledge, specific background, and overall product experience, this support professional is readily available to provide qualified support to the user of a specific product or service. Since technology fills most homes, schools, and businesses, these qualified individuals are needed to solve problems that may arise on a daily basis.
A technical support engineer deals with all levels of troubleshooting and problem solving for a given product, such as a server.
When technology is used constantly in every area of life, it is logical to assume that problems could happen at any time. A technical support engineer is most often required to be flexible and willing to be available at all hours in case problems develop. Sometimes a technical support engineer will be required to be available 24 hours a day to reflect the demands of both his residential and commercial customers.
A technical support engineer may offer assistance to employees in her own company.
Stress levels may run high because some users are not technically knowledgeable, and have no understanding of how to troubleshoot an issue. Sometimes a customer thinks, no matter the actual problem, that his issue should always be considered urgent. In some cases, depending on the technology and the complexity of the problem, the engineer cannot resolve the issue immediately. This may cause a user to become frustrated, which forces the support person to exercise patience and understanding to help limit the level of stress on both sides of the problem.
This individual is not only a support tool for the customer, but also is seen as a partner and advocate with the understanding of the specific process the user is exposed to each day. There is a growing need for support professionals who possess specialized industry knowledge and experience. A technical support engineer with a background in multimedia, finance, publishing, broadcasting, or education can prove to be a valuable asset to a company involved in one or more of these fields.
A technical support engineer, through experience, knowledge, and education, has the potential to accelerate success as a technical professional. When employed at a larger company, a technical support engineer may start by working on a less desirable shift or during the evening hours, but as experience builds, opportunities appear. With further training and education, he may be able to move into systems administration, network engineering, or database administration. Sometimes consultation opportunities arise, allowing the engineer to work with clients as an independent contractor, which can prove to be very lucrative, making the boundaries of this technical profession truly endless.

@allenJo - I only have one thing to add. I think people who are in technical support should have some sort of training.
I don't think it's too much too ask, but in my company, no such training was provided. It was more or less "sink or swim." They throw the software at you and some manuals, and then the phone starts ringing. Talk about high stress levels.
I'm not that good at faking my way through a support call, so I had to learn real fast. I did learn eventually, but there is a better way.
Companies who say they don't have time to train simply won't make the time in my opinion. When support personnel aren't trained properly it's the customers who suffer in the end.

@everetra - For some people, technical support is a career choice. That's all that they want to do. For others, it's a path to something better.
That's the way that it was for me. I started out in technical support, and then started doing database stuff. Eventually I became a programmer.
That's really what I enjoy doing the most. I like the creative aspects of programming rather than sitting around answering the phone all day.
However, I think as a programmer with technical support experience I am able to see the world through the end user's perspective. I think all developers should have some support experience so that they can bridge what they know with what the user expects.
Too often programmers over engineer their solutions instead of aiming for the simplest solutions, which is often what end users want.

@David09 - Technical support jobs require a mix of customer service skills and technical proficiency.
Sometimes you find people who have one but not the other. We've had people come through our company who had the customer service skills but they didn't have the technical know-how.
These people were gone within six months. You may be very gregarious on the phone and have an engaging personality, but if you can't solve the problem you're of no use.
I think I'm on the other extreme. I have the technical support skills but my soft skills are somewhat lacking. Nonetheless, I still have a job, because customers get answers to their questions, even if they are not entertained with small talk about the weather or the latest sports statistics.
I work as a technical support specialist at a software company, and I can tell you, it's a job with ups and downs. The most challenging part, as the article says, is when you don't have answers to a customer's problem.
We are graded more or less on resolution times. What we want is first call resolution, rather than escalating the problem up to second tier support or even third tier when it becomes critical.
The only way you get the kind of knowledge necessary to really help customers quickly is to become a power user of the software yourself. Simply learning the software manual, even the administrative section, won't get you there.
You have to pound away at the product, becoming like a software tester, until you uncover bugs and issues and resolve them through on your own. Then you will be able to quickly help your customers when they call.

Orange County celebrated the 75th anniversary of the Youth-in-Government program on Friday, April 5th, with just under 70 students from 11 local school districts at the County's Government Center.
The Orange County Youth Bureau and Orange/Ulster BOCES co-host Youth-in-Government Day which highlights the continued commitment and support local schools and officials have in developing young leaders from around the County.
Eleven school districts from Orange County participated in Youth-in-Government Day – Chester, Cornwall, James I. O'Neill, Middletown, Minisink Valley, Newburgh, Pine Bush, S.S. Seward, Valley Central, Warwick, and Washingtonville. Students spent the morning shadowing representatives from 23 Orange county departments, including Emergency Services, Office for the Aging, Social Services and the Youth Bureau. Some student participants were elected to positions such as County Executive, District Attorney, Sheriff and Family Court Judges.
Students elected to the positions of County Legislators were able to use their debating skills and participate in a mock legislative session in the County's Legislative Chambers in the Government Center. After which, they watched a real Orange County legislative session. The day concluded with a luncheon where students had informal discussions with District Attorney David Hoovler, County Legislators and other County officials.


The tech world is constantly evolving. It seems like just yesterday I was scrounging around trying to find 6 AA batteries to power my Sega Game Gear, or find a way to top off my Nintendo DS when the ominous red light came on, meaning I better make it through the Final Four on Pokemon, before my battery died. Well, fast-forward what seems like light years in the technology world, and you'll find the answer to most of the problems we had with portable technology for the last 20 years; Power Banks. Power Banks are giant battery power packs that give us the power we need, when we need it. And never too far from the technology forefront is AUKEY, who is here to bring us the new 20,00mAh Universal Power Bank.
What is it: The Power Bank is a serious work of battery-charging art. Essentially, it is a giant battery power pack that you can charge up and take with you on the go, or even use at home. It's perfect for work, school, camping, or even just to tote around on trips when you know that charging options are going to be scarce. However, this isn't your regular every day run-of-the-mill charger, it is jam packed with 20,000mAh of recharging goodness. Not only is it a massive battery reservoir, it also helps to straight-pipe the power to your power-thirsty device, recharging them in no time – and it even works with laptops that have a PD port! Putting this into perspective, most phones now 'days have around a 3,000mAh battery in them, meaning that you can easily recharge your phone 6 full times with this battery pack, when fully charged.
How does it work: The Power Bank is simple and easy to operate. First, you need to charge up the battery back, which is really easy to. The Power Bank comes with a short USB-C charging cable (no adapter), which you can use to power the baby up. This charging base will get you recharged in no time and get you back in the business of recharging other devices. Additionally, the Power Bank has two ports on it: (1) USB-A, and (1) PD Port. The combination of these two ports gives you the flexibility to charge one standard devices and one PD enabled device, all at the same time.
Performance: The Power Bank is a monstrous device in power, not stature. Surprisingly the Power Bank isn't overly gigantic for being 20,000mAh. The device works incredibly well, and utilizes the latest in PD charging technology (for PD devices such as laptop or other devices capable of utilizing PD technology). The regular USB port maxes out at Quick Charge 3.0, which will get you going again in no time. Quick Charge 3.0 is significantly faster than its predecessors, offering 38% more power efficiency than 2.0. It's very easy to charge your devices with the Power Bank. There are no magic words or mysterious power buttons that you need to mess with. All you have to do is plug the device into the Power Bank and it will begin charging.
LED-Indicator: The Power Bank has an LED light indicator to let you know how much power is left in the tank. The indicator is made up of four (4) individual LED lights. All four lights means that you're at 100%, then it goes down in 25% increments – 75%, 50%, and 25%. It would be nice to know how close you're getting to being empty once you hit the 25% mark, but really it's not too much of a concern, because that's still 5,000mAh of juice left, which is enough to recharge any mainstream phone!
Conclusion: The AUKEY 20000mAh Universal Power Bank is the hero that every power user deserves. It has a massive battery, the ability to recharge your laptop if it has a PD connection and can utilize its Quick Charge 3.0 prowess on the single USB output connectors to get you back in the game in no time. It's durable and well-made, and even has a handy carrying case. This Power Bank is surprisingly affordable, weighing in at a $47.99, which is pretty phenomenal for what you're getting. And if that wasn't enough, the Power Bank comes with AUKEY's super awesome 24-month warranty!
If you're interested in picking up one of AUKEY's 20000mAh Universal Power Banks, you can find them on Amazon's website for the low price of $47.99 - https://www.amazon.com/AUKEY-20000mA...UvbUpU13341374 - It even qualifies for Prime 2-day shipping. As always, if you have any questions or comments, please feel free to leave them down in the comments section.

Kim Hyun Joong Scandal: Why His Ex-Girlfriend Can't Leave Him?
Kim Hyun Joong allegedly assaulted his ex-girlfriend (known as Miss Choi) and she is now pregnant with his baby. This scandal has been widely reported by media, fans and non-fans rapidly wrote their opinion in the internet, some still supported the idol while some just loathed his action and wished him to end his career in the entertainment world. Frankly, I'm not a fan of Kim Hyun Joong, I don't watch his dramas except Boys Over Flowers and he was really terrible in that hit drama, as a result I vowed not to watch anymore of his monotonous acting.
Despite of his lack of acting skill, I admit that he is a very charming and good-looking idol. Fans said he has this 4D personality, I don't know much though since I'm not really into him or his former group SS501. My initial impression of him is an idle, oddly charming but unpredictable guy, like a deep ocean before storm, you will never know what's beneath that calm blue surface. When I first read about his scandal, it reminded me of Chris Brown and Rihanna's scandal. The difference is the non-celebrity girlfriend hence we have limited knowledge about her.
Read: Yewon and Lee Tae Im's Scandal: Another WGM Curse?
With Rihanna and Chris Brown, we know the long history of their love story, both stars were young, bold and madly in love. Chris Brown assaulted Rihanna when they allegedly involved in big argument, the injuries were pretty gruesome however despite the strong opposition of their troubled relationship, Rihanna keeps coming back to him. They were in on and off relationship for several years. We may ask why she can't just forget and leave him, but the problem is never that simple. People stay in this kind of toxic relationship for many reasons and it's never easy to leave their abuser because of the constant manipulation and attachment.
Kim Hyun Joong himself admitted that he hit his girlfriend but not frequently, the photos of her injuries were published as an evidence to sue him. Later on, the ex-girlfriend revoked her claim and for a while everything seems to be okay until she announced her pregnancy. At first she said she will raise her baby alone, however just a week ago she announced that she has a miscarriage before and it was because KHJ's frequent assault on her, now she demands him to pay around 1.6 billion won. Gosh, even the most makjang Korean drama can't top this storyline right?
Similar to Rihanna, I think his ex-girlfriend can't leave him for many reasons. She might be madly in love with him, abnormally obsessive of him and she surely loves his money, fame and constant affection. As a top idol, I believe KHJ can make any woman fall deeply in love with his charm and looks. I mean it's hard enough to leave a common non-celebrity person in a relationship, let alone a charming idol who just keep coming back to you right? I don't know if he is a serial abuser or not, but his eyes and expression could be really scary in some scenes of Boys Over Flowers, a sign of hidden sociopath? We may never know.
Based on the news report, he apparently asked for her forgiveness and paid huge settlement money (600 million won) so she could just shut up about her first alleged miscarriage and revoked her claim. He wooed her with love and money, they back together again, they fucked, she's pregnant (for the second time), he assaulted her and now she sues him again. Rinse, repeat. This is just a typical cycle of abusive relationship. I have witnessed this kind of relationship before. The victim thought that once the abuser asked for forgiveness, he will change for the better. However, the sweet and gentleman manner is only temporary, as his true monstrous side will never go away.
Before you know, you are trapped in the endless loop of pain, turmoil and desperation, you want to leave but you just don't know how. Typical abusers know how to manipulate their victims very well, whether it's with love, fear, money or self-esteem. It's really hard to breakaway when you are deeply involved with a person and most women feel they can fix their partners for whatever reason. I think this is the case for KHJ's girlfriend and the temptation of billions of money is hard to resist too. I don't think she's innocent, she might want to use her pregnancy as a way to avenge or tie him down, she's pretty messed-up for sure.
During this scandalous circumstance, KHJ reportedly has entered the military to fulfill his duty. I guess it's good that he left for a while, his image has been tarnished pretty badly and I don't think everything will be the same again after this. Both sides just need to realize they are better without each other, and hopefully Miss Choi aka the girlfriend will understand that her sanity and safety is not worth to put at stake even for billions of won, unless she is really a gold-digger at heart.
Did you not know she wes lying about pregncy and abuse?!!! It all over intrenet.o you just prefer to belive this women who refuse to do tast of pregncy ..
Agree with the writer…infact i was big fan of KHJ and im feeling really really depressed right now..sweet innocent guy in wgm just disappearT_T…..really realllllyy miss KJH in WGM with hwang bo….


Become a Supporter of CPAC!
As a non-profit arts organization, we rely on private support for as much as 50% of our annual revenue. Support dollars allow the Community Performance & Art Center to keep the creative spirit of southern Arizona alive through a wide range of performances and programs that encourage intercultural exchange, promote education and support the local economy.
The greatest challenge for the Foundation is to maintain continuous support for the operation of the Performance & Art Center. Although the facilities are public domain, the Foundation holds the lease and must provide for all operations, maintenance and repairs without any support from local or regional government. Annual giving from community members is of utmost importance for the continued existence of the Arts Center.
Naming Opportunities – Contact the Community Performance & Art Center Foundation Office at (520) 399-1750 for naming opportunities.

Increased attention toward the killing of black men and women by police throughout the past year has ignited national conversations on racism and law enforcement. From Freddie Gray in April 2015 to Deborah Danner — an "emotionally disturbed" woman fatally shot this week by an NYPD officer — protests around the country have forced many Americans to reassess how police engage with communities of color.
In light of — or perhaps despite — the increased scrutiny, FBI director James Comey told police officers at a national conference last Sunday that because of insufficient data on use of force, "Americans actually have no idea" whether racial bias in policing is really an epidemic. Pointing to current public outrage over police killings of African-Americans, Comey said "the absence of good information" and data has aided in the growing belief that police officers target particular communities.
"That is the narrative," he told attendees of the International Association of Chiefs of Police. "It is a narrative driven by video images of real misconduct, possible misconduct and perceived misconduct."
But even if there aren't hard statistics, the problem of racial bias among police isn't new. In fact, it's been a concern of the FBI for at least a decade. Exactly 10 years ago this week, the FBI warned of the potential consequences — including bias — of white supremacist groups infiltrating local and state law enforcement, indicating it was a significant threat to national security.
In the 2006 bulletin, the FBI detailed the threat of white nationalists and skinheads infiltrating police in order to disrupt investigations against fellow members and recruit other supremacists. The bulletin was released during a period of scandal for many law enforcement agencies throughout the country, including a neo-Nazi gang formed by members of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department who harassed black and Latino communities. Similar investigations revealed officers and entire agencies with hate group ties in Illinois, Ohio and Texas.
Much of the bulletin has been redacted, but in it, the FBI identified white supremacists in law enforcement as a concern, because of their access to both "restricted areas vulnerable to sabotage" and elected officials or people who could be seen as "potential targets for violence." The memo also warned of "ghost skins," hate group members who don't overtly display their beliefs in order to "blend into society and covertly advance white supremacist causes."
"At least one white supremacist group has reportedly encouraged ghost skins to seek positions in law enforcement for the capability of alerting skinhead crews of pending investigative action against them," the report read.
Problems with white supremacists in law enforcement have surfaced since that report. In 2014, two Florida officers — including a deputy police chief — were fired after an FBI informant outed them as members of the Ku Klux Klan. It marked the second time within five years that the agency uncovered an officer's membership in the KKK. Several agencies nationwide have also launched investigations into personnel who may not be formal hate group members, but face allegations of race-based misconduct.
"Many people in these communities of color feel they have been the subject of police violence for decades. And when an officer engages in conduct that adds or enhances that divide, they are ultimately jeopardizing the integrity of their agencies and putting their fellow officers in danger."
"Many people in these communities of color feel they have been the subject of police violence for decades," said Samuel Jones, professor of law at the John Marshall School of Law in Chicago. "And when an officer engages in conduct that adds or enhances that divide, they are ultimately jeopardizing the integrity of their agencies and putting their fellow officers in danger."
Policing in America has historically had racial implications. The earliest forms of organized law enforcement in the U.S. can be traced to slave patrols that tracked down escaped slaves, and overseers assigned to guard settler communities from Native Americans. In the centuries since, many law enforcement agencies directly participated in antagonizing communities of color, or provided a shield for others who did. But in the 10 years since the FBI's initial warning, little has changed, Jones said.
"We catch them when we can, which means when we notice someone and check in the database," said Heidi Beirich, director of the Intelligence Project at the Southern Poverty Law Center. The group is responsible for exposing an Alabama officer as a member of a white nationalist hate group, League of the South, after he spoke at their national conference in 2013. The officer was later fired.
"Obviously, we do not want people with white supremacist or other extremist views to be in such positions, so it is important to screen them out," she added.
The First Amendment's freedoms of association and expression mean it's perfectly legal for anyone to join a hate group — as long as it's for the purpose of legal activity — and still be a member of law enforcement. They can even serve in other positions of public office. But according to the FBI memo, the government can limit employment opportunities of members "when their memberships would interfere with their duties." Jones says that's problematic.
"I cannot imagine that the FBI today could issue a report concerning any kind of threat without people being alarmed and wanting immediate action," he said. "But in this case there seems to be almost an acceptance of it. The thought is 'it's just ideology and they have a right to believe this.'"
In response to our inquiry, the FBI said it "routinely shares information about potential threats to better enable law enforcement" but does not "comment on specific law enforcement bulletins."
There are, of course, police officers who recognize racial bias and are calling for change. At the same conference where FBI director James Comey spoke of the uncertainty of policing bias, the head of the International Association of Chiefs of Police [IACP], Terrence Cunningham apologized for what he called "historical mistreatment" of racial minorities.
"While we obviously cannot change the past, it is clear that we must change the future," he said. "For our part, the first step is for law enforcement and the IACP to acknowledge and apologize for the actions of the past and the role that our profession has played in society's historical mistreatment of communities of color."
These conversations come as the Department of Justice announced it's launching a national database on use of force and deaths in police custody.
For many like Jones, it's another step toward accountability. But questions remain on how to tackle bias early on: One way to do that, he said, would involve screening would-be personnel for bias and supremacist ties, something the FBI acknowledged as a threat a decade before viral videos of police killings became nearly a weekly discussion.
As the nation continues to examine the role of race in law enforcement, many like Jones question whether scrutiny of the infiltration by white supremacists will move beyond the FBI's acknowledgement a decade ago to specific action in the decades to come.
"There needs to more direct enforcement," Jones said. "It's one thing to issue a memo, and another to have continued action after it. There was a warning 10 years ago and nothing else since then."
FBI warned of white supremacists in law enforcement 10 years ago. Has anything changed? first appeared on the PBS NewsHour website.


Not quite sure what Peter Matthew Hillsman Taylor (1917–1994) would have thought of social media — he was not overly fond of, you know, machines — but he loved being social. So here is a digital gathering of information about him, his fiction and about fiction writer Ann Beattie, who edited the new publication of his stories from Library of America.
Peter Taylor won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1987 for his novel A Summons to Memphis. He wrote two other novels: A Woman of Means (1950) and In the Tennessee Country (1994), as well as three books of plays. However, he was most known, at least among other writers, for his short stories. He wrote about what he knew: Tennessee and other parts of the American South, largely in the early-to-mid twentieth century. As story tellers should be, he was a great listener, and he surprised people with how much he knew about all the different parts of this world.
I am his son, Ross Taylor. I live in the Washington, DC, area with my family. I will be updating the Calendar of Events page with information about readings, conferences, bookstore appearances and other happenings related to this book, my father's work in general and editor Ann Beattie. I will also update the Press page with reviews, articles, interviews and blog posts that are relevant. Finally I hope to add lots of images and even some scanned letters and other documents on the Posts page. This is meant to be a source of reliable, fairly comprehensive information about the Library of America volumes, but in some ways it is also my fan page for my father and Ms. Beattie. And I'm a big fan.

The word "b*tch" has been widely used in hip hop music over the years. So how ironic is it that Lupe Fiasco has been receiving some backlash for releasing the single "B*tch Bad," which actually speaks out on some of the negative effects of the word's use in music and the culture in general.
Is he a little preachy? Yes, by today's musical standards…and in a society where mainstream television programming is full of "scripted" reality shows where woman fight to show they're the "baddest b*tch." But this joint does make you reflect on a different time in hip hop music. In the late 80's & early 90's, many more of the bigger hip hop artists used their voices to speak on social issues as well as having a good time.
So maybe we should commend Lupe Fiasco just for giving us something different…so now we can go back to poppin' bottles. Check out the video and let us know what you think. Is it a good message or just a mess?

The Unnao rape victim's mother is among the first list of candidates announced by Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Thursday for the upcoming assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh.
Addressing a press conference, Gandhi said 40 per cent of the Congress candidates are women and another 40 per cent are youth — a move that shows the party is making a new and historic beginning.
She said the party has fielded such candidates who have struggled for seeking justice in Uttar Pradesh and the party wants them to come to the forefront and be a part of power in the state.
"With 40 per cent women and 40 per cent youth, we hope to start a new kind of politics in Uttar Pradesh," she said. "Our list gives a new message. We want to tell those who have struggled for their rights and for seeking justice in the past, that they have the power to fight for their rights and the Congress party will give that power to them to be a part of power in the state," Gandhi added.
The AICC general secretary in-charge for Uttar Pradesh did not answer whether she will contest the elections herself. She said the party will not run a negative campaign in these polls and will instead run a positive campaign for a bright future of Uttar Pradesh while highlighting the issues concerning the people and those of women and development.
Taking on the Uttar Pradesh government, she said, it has been "dictatorial" and the discussion in elections is skewed. "Our focus would be to bring issues of people to centre-stage," she said. Uttar Pradesh is scheduled to have seven-phase polls beginning from February 10.

There is a rich interplay between abstract algebra and combinatorics. Algebraic combinatorics applies techniques from abstract algebra to combinatorial problems, or conversely applies combinatorial reasoning towards problems in algebra.
This paper is an introduction to Hilbert spaces and linear operators on Hilbert spaces. It extends the techniques of linear algebra and real analysis to study problems of an intrinsically infinite-dimensional nature.
This paper introduces groups and rings. These are algebraic structures consisting of a set with one or more binary operations on that set satisfying certain conditions. These structures are ubiquitous throughout modern mathematics and this paper examines their properties and some applications.
In school and in introductory courses in mathematics, integral usually means Riemann integral of a real-valued function on the real line. This fundamental concept reveals its beauty in the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus which relates integration and derivation. However, the Riemann integral has some shortfalls that make it inadequate for many purposes in modern analysis. One of them is a gap in the fundamental theorem of calculus: the class of Riemann integrable functions does not coincide with the class of all functions that have an antiderivative. Another drawback is that the interchange of point-wise limits of function sequences and their integrals is only possible under rather restrictive conditions.
In this paper we introduce a modern theory of integration via measure theory that overcomes these shortfalls. It goes back to the French mathematician Henri Léon Lebesgue (1875–1941) and is the gate to many exciting branches of mathematics, like, for instance, modern probability theory, functional analysis, or the theory of partial differential equations.
This paper develops the theory and techniques required to apply computational methods in modelling, applied mathematics and data analysis. Topics include matrix computation, data fitting, and the numerical solution of differential equations.
Number theory, which is probably the oldest branch of mathematics, is concerned with properties of integers. Of particular interest are prime numbers. Analytic number theory studies these using methods from analysis. This module gives a basic introduction with a focus on arithmetic functions, asymptotic formulae and the distribution of prime numbers.
Optimization is a core tool of applied mathematics, computational modelling, statistics, operation research, finance, engineering, indeed almost any application of the mathematical sciences. This paper focuses on convex optimization, covering a few key algorithms, the theory behind them, and applications.
Partial differential equations (PDEs) are used to model a wide range of phenomena in engineering, economics and the natural sciences. They generalise ordinary differential equations (ODEs) modelling functions of one variable to describe quantities depending on multiple variables, such as time and space, or several spatial dimensions. Examples are the heat equation, the Laplace equation and the wave equation.
Because closed-form analytical solutions can seldom be found, even for the simplest PDEs, approximate solutions are usually sought. This course gives an overview of approximation methods for solving PDEs on finite domains, the so-called boundary-value problems, ranging from the semi-analytical separation of variable technique to the numerical finite difference method. The focus of the paper will be on implementing methods to generate approximate solutions using computational software Matlab and analyse their properties.
The subject of topology is rather abstract which means that it can be used in many different contexts. As a consequence it is fundamental for many branches in Mathematics. This paper is an introduction to point set topology. The notion of "closeness" is formalised and developed to define continuity of maps, connectedness of sets, convergence of sequences etc. There will be many familiar and unfamiliar examples to illustrate the power of this abstraction.
Asymptotic analysis is a branch of mathematical analysis concerned with the limiting behavior of functions, in particular the behavior of functions when a variable or parameter is "large" or "small". The tools of asymptotic analysis are useful in describing the unknown solution to a number of algebraic, differential, or integral equations, particularly for those cases where solving such an equation exactly is not possible. One can, in such contexts, view the approach as yielding results which lie somewhere between exact solutions (which are nice, yet uncommon for many equations) and numerical simulations (which can be quite useful for understanding the behavior of a solution for a specific collection of parameters, but often less useful for deducing general behavior or structure). In a number of cases, an asymptotic approximation for a given function may even provide more insight than does the exact solution.
This paper develops the differential and integral calculus of functions of a complex variable, and its applications. MATH 302 is offered from 2013.
This paper gives an introduction to the theory of partial differential equations by discussing the main examples (Poisson's equation, transport equation, wave equation) and their applications.
Since the time of the ancient Greeks, mathematicians and philosophers have been interested in the geometry of curves and surfaces, for example the Euclidean plane and the surface of the earth. From the end of the 19th century onwards with the work of Riemann, however, a powerful mathematical theory of much more general classes of curved spaces arose; this is what is nowadays under- stood as differential geometry.
The main focus of this course is the analysis of linear mappings between normed linear spaces. It turns out that many problems in analysis can be studied from this abstract point of view, which recognizes important underlying principles without getting lost in technical details. The applications of the approach ranges from differential and integral equations through problems in optimal control theory and numerical analysis to probability theory to name a few. This introductory course covers some of the basic constructions and principles of functional analysis: completions of metric/normed spaces, the Hahn-Banach Theorem and its consequences, dual spaces, bounded linear operators and their adjoints, closed operators, the Open Mapping and Closed Graph Theorems, the Principle of Uniform Boundedness and some elements of the spectral theory for closed linear operators. The applications of the abstract concepts are demonstrated through various examples from different branches of analysis.
Fourier analysis is the study of representing functions as sums or integrals of simple waves. It has applications across a broad range of mathematical and physical sciences such as the analysis of solutions to partial differential equations, inverse problems and data processing. The natural setting for this decomposition is on the space of generalised functions, known as distributions.
This paper is an introduction to differential geometry; its focus is the structure of two-dimensional surfaces.
This paper presents the foundation theory for two major topics in Physics. The Classical Mechanics section introduces the formal framework of Classical Mechanics and illustrates its application to two-body problems, rotating systems, collisions, and chaos. The Special Relativity and Cosmology section covers the special theory of relativity with applications to relativistic mechanics, electrodynamics in covariant form, and cosmology. This paper is the same as the PHSI336 paper offered by the Physics Department. It is taught jointly by staff from both Departments.

The simple fact is that many Ohio residents have an addiction problem. Being addicted to drugs is a sickness, and until some of them face charges for drug crimes, they may not seek the help they need. Once in the criminal justice system, the future of someone addicted to drugs could go one of two ways: Either the individual receives much needed help, or he or she ends up in the system, which more than likely will not provide the ability to kick the drug habit.
Even though an addict could "dry out" in jail or prison, without the proper treatment for the core causes of the problem, he or she will probably just return to using after release. The whole person requires treatment, not just the drug use. Often, only the first time a person takes drugs is voluntary. Thereafter, the drugs can take over, and the situation spirals out of control.
After dealing with the physical addiction, counseling could help deal with the reasons a person began using drugs in the first place. Some people need medications as part of their treatment. Long-term follow up is needed in order to ascertain the risk of relapse and prevent it. Does it sound as if an individual could receive what they need in an already overburdened criminal justice system?
Instead of going to jail or prison for drug crimes, some Ohio residents would be better served through a diversion program that provides them with the treatment they need in order to move past their addictions and regain their lives. Anyone arrested for drug crimes might be able to get that help with the right representation. Drug addicts often need someone to advocate on their behalves who understands this and will work tirelessly to deal with the real problem -- the addiction.
