So said St. Louis County Prosecutor Bob McCulloch, addressing jurors when they convened Aug. 20, not long after Brown's death touched off riots, looting and repeated clashes between protesters and heavily armored police. Ninety-seven days later, those jurors decided not to indict white Ferguson officer Darren Wilson for the death of the black 18-year-old.
Their reasoning was not explained, because Missouri law keeps the deliberations of grand jurors confidential. But in an unusual move, McCulloch released thousands of pages of testimony that jurors heard, plus more than 250 photos and 25 television news videos.
On the first day, McCulloch assured jurors their identities would be kept secret. But he encouraged them not to wear their grand jury badges when entering and exiting his office to avoid attracting the notice of protesters or reporters.
McCulloch then turned the case over to two assistants — Kathi Alizadeh, the prosecutor who was on call for August homicides, and Sheila Whirley, a prosecutor previously assigned to the grand jury. McCulloch did not participate in any additional grand jury sessions.
The prosecutors began by focusing on the physical evidence, calling as witnesses a medical examiner, crime scene investigators and a forensic pathologist.
On Sept. 10, grand jurors turned their attention to Dorian Johnson, a friend who was with Brown on Aug. 9, the day of his death. Prosecutors played several TV news interviews of Johnson and a two-hour audio recording of an interview with Johnson conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation as part of a separate civil-rights investigation into Brown's death.
Jurors watched surveillance video of Brown robbing a convenience store of cigarillos shortly before he was killed. Then they heard testimony from Johnson, who portrayed Wilson as the aggressor in a physical confrontation that began when Wilson urged Brown and Johnson to quit walking in the street. Johnson said Brown had his hands raised when he was shot.
On Sept. 16, jurors heard Wilson's version of events. Prosecutors first called a Ferguson police sergeant, St. Louis County detective and FBI agent to testify about what Wilson told them.
Then Wilson spoke to jurors. He said he realized Brown was a robbery suspect after initially telling him to get out of the street. When he backed up his vehicle to cut off Brown, Wilson said Brown hit him and grabbed his gun during a struggle through his window. During an ensuing foot chase, Wilson said Brown turned back to charge at him with one hand clenched in a fist and the other under his shirt at his waist. That's when Wilson said he opened fire.
From Sept. 23 through Nov. 4, grand jurors heard from dozens of witnesses with conflicting accounts of what they had seen. Most recounted a struggle between Brown and Wilson at the officer's patrol car. But there was no consensus about what occurred moments later.
Many said Brown's hands were raised when he was shot, though they were in disagreement about how high and in what fashion. Some said Brown's hands were facing outward as if surrendering while others said they were turned inward, as if gesturing.
Other witnesses insisted Brown's hands weren't raised at all, and they backed up Wilson's account of Brown appearing to move toward the officer.
Grand jurors began meeting more frequently in November. Some raised concerns about their personal safety and the potential for the identities to be discovered, prompting prosecutors on Nov. 10 to assure they would do their best to keep them safe.
In their final several sessions, jurors heard from more forensic experts, including a pathologist who had been hired by Brown's family. Their closing witness was a St. Louis County detective who had testified twice before. He fielded questions about the vantage points of eyewitnesses and Wilson's account of the events, and he confirmed that police had no video of the shooting.
Jurors asked about the standards for police to use deadly force, then deliberated for nearly three hours on Nov. 21. They took the weekend off and returned to deliberate further on Nov. 24, when their decision was announced.

Sri Lankan Leader Eyes Partnerships
Posted on July 1, 2001 by July 1, 2001
by EMQ editor
Ajith Fernando, national director of Youth for Christ in Sri Lanka, spoke about partnership and related issues during a recent visit to the Evangelism and Missions Information Service office in Wheaton, Ill.
What is happening in regard to partnerships in Sri Lanka?
Some of the more affluent countries are developing partnerships with organizations and churches in Sri Lanka. So I think this has been a very exciting thing—a much bigger flow of resources—not only money, but expertise, in recent years.
How do they do that with the confidence of being able to understand the situation in the country and basically knowing that they'll be doing more good than harm?
These are the things that have been a concern for me. As far as I can see, the basic way to do this is to develop good fellowship with the leaders of the two groups developing into a partnership—to really become brothers and sisters in Christ. That takes time. It's not something that is forged by signing a contract or by a quick visit. That is what I would like to see happen. For that, they have to come to our country. It's a little complex, in that most often these people stay in hotels, which removes them from the people. I think it's much nicer if they can stay in our homes and become part of our people. These are things that people have to be aware of and be sensitive to.
Another concern is that in our part of the world, it's possible for people to abuse this type of relationship. My father, who has been involved in the evangelical movement for years, said once, "People start a very good work and are reaching out to the lost, and fantastic evangelism is taking place. Then somebody who wants a contact in our country gets in touch with them from abroad. From there, they keep going down." There's a possibility that locals could get removed from the people because of their contacts from abroad. This is an area of concern. We are having leaders who are like benefactors because now they have Western contacts. They just go up above the rest of the people in the country. Their lifestyle is much better. Then they become benefactors rather than co-workers. The other colleagues depend on their generosity for their survival. These colleagues, on their part, are looking for some foreign contact so they can come into this level of being a benefactor.
I don't think that because of this we should stop foreign assistance, but I think foreigners have to be very cautious. For example, they come to our country and live and move around with our leaders. They see the difference in lifestyle. I think they feel a bit guilty that they are living in such a better situation. So they tell them, "You shouldn't be going about in a car like this." They will give them money and tell them the money is for a new car, but to buy that car might hinder the local ministry. These are areas where sensitivity is needed. I feel some damaging things are happening right now.
What do you think potential Western partners should do to avoid that kind of thing?
The whole thing that partnership requires is spiritual heart fellowship, where you get into a country and get the feel of the people, and that takes a lot of time. I think those who want to establish relationships will have to be willing to invest time so that the relationship is not just a business relationship. Our people don't work on business relationships. I notice that a lot of people sign partnership agreements, and that's something new that I've noticed in recent years. I think it's a very good idea that people have (their agreements) in black and white…but that's not the way our people operate in their relationships. Somehow, we need to make sure that our leaders don't get divorced from their own people by going on to a different (economic) level. We are seeing a lot of that happening. The leader has become like the king of the kingdom, and everybody looks up to him or her as the benefactor.
Can you name one or two partnerships that you're really impressed with and that you like?
I have seen some churches who send their people and they stay maybe a week or two and really try to get to know the people. They become friends with them. If there is a staff conference or something, they will stay in the conference site even though it is extremely inconvenient for them where they aren't used to such facilities. I have seen people do that.
By and large, I think Western people get deceived very easily. That's my perception. Very often, those who impress a Westerner are people that our people are very suspicious of. For some reason, Westerners get impressed by these people. That is why I think they are often taken for a ride. Sometimes they end up feeling that you can't trust an Asian because they are not trustworthy. The problem is they trusted the wrong people.
What kinds of things are Westerners impressed with?
It could be that these people can speak well and are good in English—the motivator type. They can present their program in a very exciting way. Generally, I think this country looks very much for people who are motivated. Expressions of motivation have to be verbally expressed. If it's not, they may feel that someone is not really motivated.
Is there anything else you'd like to add about this topic?
Yes. I don't want to be seen as somebody who is against partnerships, because I think this is one of the exciting developments of the last few years. The thing that I'm concerned about is that it doesn't get derailed by wrong procedures. I think marketing has become a very important aspect of missions. I accept that. Because of marketing, funding can go to projects that may not necessarily be the type of projects that should be funded.
In their eagerness to have a person in a country and a presence in so many countries, sometimes they might break principles. They might take a person from a church by offering a salary that is maybe 10 times the salary he gets in the church. That is really difficult for people to resist, especially if they have children to look after and the church is not able to pay them enough. The eagerness to make this look good so that you can raise funds for it tends to result in very precious money going to the wrong sources.

WhatsApp Extends Support for BlackBerry, Nokia Platforms Till June 2017
November 16, 2016 sristy Nokia 0
WhatsApp earlier announced it would end support by end of 2016
The extended support for BlackBerry will end on June 2017
Dated Android, Windows Phone 7, and iOS 6 not supported from early 2017
WhatsApp has confirmed that it will extend its support for BlackBerry platform in what could be seen as the most relieving news for BlackBerry users. The most widely used messaging service earlier this year had announced that it will drop support for several mobile operating systems from 2017, including BlackBerry's and Nokia's operating systems.
The company updated its support page and added, "We will soon be ending support for certain devices. On June 30, 2017, we will no longer support the following platforms: BlackBerry OS and BlackBerry 10, Nokia S40, and Nokia Symbian S60."
WhatsApp however confirmed those users on Android 2.1 and Android 2.2 as well as Windows Phone 7 won't be able to use WhatsApp at the beginning of 2017. The messaging app will no longer be supported on iPhone 3GS or devices running iOS 6.
"These platforms don't offer the kind of capabilities we need to expand our app's features in the future. If you use one of these affected mobile devices, we recommend upgrading to a newer Android running OS 2.3+, a Windows Phone 8+, or an iPhone running iOS 7+ before the end of 2016 to continue using WhatsApp."
WhatsApp informs that there is currently no option to transfer chat history between platforms though the company can provide chat history attached to an email, if requested by users.
The messaging service had previously emphasised how much the market changed in the years since WhatsApp was launched in 2009. Previously, Android and iOS platforms were running on less than 25 percent of the devices, while BlackBerry and Nokia's operating systems dominated the market with roughly a 70 percent share. WhatsApp's decision to pull the plug on Symbian and BlackBerry however recaps how the platforms have lost popularity.
Soon after WhatsApp's announcement to end support for BlackBerry, the Canadian company expressed its disappointment with WhatsApp's decision to abandon its platform.

Relief as plan for 37 flats on seafront is rejected
By Sarah Booker-Lewis Local democracy reporter
Neighbour Wayne Coley spoke against the bid
"OVERBEARING" plans to demolish three houses and build a block of flats on the seafront have been refused.
Councillors voted seven to three against the application for the corner of Kingsway and Braemore Road in Hove.
The proposed 37 flats were in an eight-storey block, stepping down to five storeys.
Brighton and Hove City Council planning committee rejected the scheme because the building was in front of the neighbouring houses and would be overbearing and overlook them.
Amy Urpi, whose home backs on to the site, said just six metres separated her property from the five storeys at the back of the planned building. Light would be lost from her family's main living space, even though the report described the side window as the kitchen.
She said: "My children play in the garden every day throughout the year.
"Building these flats will affect the health of my two small children as they will be playing next to a car park."
The home of neighbour Wayne Coley, immediately to the west of the proposed flats, is attached to the house that was planned for demolition.
The flats would have been forward of his home, meaning seven floors of residents able to look into his house – which would have been in full shadow for half the day.
Mr Coley told councillors he had no information about how the back of his home would be left "hanging in the air".
The committee was told this was not a planning consideration.
After the decision, he said he was "ecstatic", adding: "I'm just happy they have taken note of the building line. We're not against it being developed but only developed without stepping in front of the building line.
"Now I would like evidence of how they are going to rebuild part of my house."
Wish ward councillors Robert Nemeth and Garry Peltzer Dunn spoke against the application.
Cllr Nemeth was unhappy with the design and expressed concern about the small distances between the development and existing houses.
He also raised the issue of the lost gardens from the three family homes that would result in loss of wildlife habitat.
He said: "There could be living walls, bee bricks and swift boxes. Instead we get two car parks and token trees."
Cllr Peltzer Dunn reminded the committee planning officers had described the development as "overbearing" in the report.
Agenda Homes chief executive Jamie Barrett told councillors his company had carried out extensive pre-application work, consulting with neighbours since starting the planning process in 2017.

Vyatskoye () (alternatively known as Viatsk or Viatskoe) is a small fishing village in Khabarovsky District, Khabarovsk Krai, Russia, located on the east side of the Amur River,  northeast of Khabarovsk. The 76th Radio Technical Brigade is stationed there.

History
The original inhabitants apparently were various Tungusic peoples.

Formerly part of Outer Manchuria, Vyatskoye along with Khabarovsk and Vladivostok was ceded to Imperial Russia by the Qing dynasty as part of the 1860 Convention of Peking.

During World War II near Vyatskoye was a camp for the Soviet 88th Brigade, which was made up of Korean and Chinese guerrillas. Kim Il-sung, future leader of North Korea, was stationed there as a Captain in the Soviet Red Army commanding a battalion, and according to some sources his family was there as well. According to those same sources his son Kim Jong-il was born there on February 16, 1941 (although the North Korean government claims Kim Jong-il was born on Paektu Mountain in Japanese Korea a year later, on February 16, 1942). Residents of the town claim that his brother Shura Kim (sometimes known as the first Kim Pyong-il) fell into a well and died, and was buried there; however other sources claim that Kim Jong-il's sibling drowned in a pool in Pyongyang in 1947.

The size of a poker site is most often determined by its traffic. The player traffic often determines the size of the tournaments offered, the tournament frequency, the game selection, the bonus opportunities and, most importantly, the action. When a site has a large amount of regular players, the games will begin more quickly and the action will be much more intense. Players' experience levels at the larger poker sites can be very diverse. When selecting a poker site to play at, traffic is one of the main things to consider.
888 Poker is another incredibly popular site. The software is sleek and the traffic is incredible. Players flock to 888 for the large tournaments and the massive amount of action. 888 is not open to U.S. players. 888 offers a Windows and Mac version of their software in addition to a mobile site – it has often been referred to as the #1 room for Mac users.
The professional team is one of the largest out of all the online poker sites. There is never an issue with getting the games underway at 888. 888 averages over 40,000 players during peak hours.
Party Poker was formerly the largest poker site in the world and remains a dominating force within the European and Asian market. The attention was primarily focused on Party Poker during the 2006 online gambling legislation process in the U.S. Prior to 2006, Party Poker was going as far as to advertise commercials during the Super Bowl.
Party Poker has been in the online poker industry for a long time, and the name recognition alone draws in a large crowd. The tournaments get rather large at Party Poker and players should not find any problems with getting a sit n go to fill up. The action is a mix of new, experienced and professional players. The lower limits tend to be comprised of new players and the competition is soft.
BetOnline Poker is a relatively new site in comparison to the top 3 but it is one of the largest poker sites for US players. BetOnline Poker has gained significant ground in the American market. BetOnline Poker is a fairly large poker room that maintains around 5,000 players or more during peak hours. The action is pretty consistent at the low and middle stakes ranges. BetOnline is available for Windows and Mac operating systems.
Sportsbetting Poker is the third largest site in the USA. The traffic is decent because Sportsbetting pulls in plenty of sportsbettors and casino players. Sportsbetting Poker averages 5,000 or more players during peak hours. Sportsbetting Poker offers a Mac / Linux and Windows poker client. Players will qualify for a 25% instant cash bonus on all deposits.
Lucky Ace is a rather large online poker site that shares the 888 Network player base with 888 Poker. Lucky Ace has been around for a while but they do not allow U.S. players. The software is classy and is available for download as a Windows or Mac version. They also support a mobile poker room. The 888 Network maintains approximately 50,000 players or more during peak hours and the action is pretty solid. Like many others, the primary focus for the player base at Lucky Ace is the lower to midrange stakes levels. The high stakes don't see as much attention as they do at Pokerstars, but they do gain popularity on occasion.
Selecting a poker site to play at can be difficult, but every player should double-check the traffic at a poker site before they decide. These six poker sites are the largest in the world and they have established reputations for providing intense action and quality service. Game selection, banking options and bonuses should be considered in addition to player traffic when selecting where to play.

Empty Monuments
During the winter of my twenty seventh year, I was sent by the king to a faraway village to investigate a large hole that had opened up in the ground. The people of the village went to bed one night and there was no hole, the next morning it was there. A round black circle, so deep the bottom could not be seen. Rumors reached the king of strange things happening in the village, tales of food appearing, as if out of the sky, and saving the village from starvation. It was requested of me that I inquire into the matter to see if witchcraft or devilry was behind these events. The king was reluctant to send me at first because my young son had recently succumbed to the fever and died. He had been in the ground only thirteen days when I began my journey.
When a child is lost, their future is lost as well, and this in turn makes the future of the parents bleak and shapeless. My wife fell ill with grief and would not rise from her bed to bathe or eat. She wept for hours, from the darkness of the morning to the darkness of the night. Weeping until her voice was hoarse. She pleaded with God, begging him to let her be haunted by the ghost of our son, for the silence in the house was too much for her to bear. I did not want to leave her, but neither could I stay. My presence helped nothing, and the sound of her crying only made it more difficult for me to remain intact.
The journey to the village took three days by horse and was largely uneventful. I did however come across the frozen body of a young man fallen to the side of the road. He was stiff and covered in frost, as naked as the day he was born. It was my belief that some bandits robbed and killed him, so I said a prayer for his soul and continued on.
I traveled through a perpetual fog that hung over the land like a tattered blanket. I smelled the odor of cooking meat before I saw the village. As I drew closer, the lights of the houses hung suspended within the fog like yellow eyes, the buildings themselves only shadow shapes fluttering on the silver blanket.
When I reached the tavern there was music and dancing. I was told it was a celebration for the village's good fortune. I was taken to the village elder, who was already drunk on mead. He sat at a table in the corner, stroking his white beard and watching his people be merry. I told the elder who I was and asked if he could tell me about the hole.
"I will do more than that," he said. "I will show you."
With that, the elder downed the rest of his mead, then he smashed the mug on the edge of table, shattering the clay into pieces. These he gathered into his hands and said, "Come with me."
He led me past the well and the whipping post. Past the church, whose bell I could not even see because of the fog, and out of the village to a field where there was a withered old tree with branches like skeleton arms. Twisted and bare. At the base of the tree, stretching out from the trunk, was a circle of small stones, surely placed there by hand. Beside this tree was the hole. I felt the cold dead air of it rising up, smelling of must and earth. And although the night was black, the pit itself was even blacker.
The elder and I stood side by side before the hole, and it was as wide as the two of us. He still held the broken mug in his hands. He took one look at me and then threw the pottery into the void. The pieces made no sound as they fell. I could not understand why he'd done such a thing, but I immediately fell to my knees and listened. The hole was silent save for the faint breeze that blew over the opening, making a sound not unlike the moaning of my wife.
"You will not hear it land," the elder said. "Large stones have been sent down there, but it appears that it had no end. And yet," he said with a smile, "it does have a beginning."
The elder then told me the story of how the hole was discovered one early morning six days earlier. A boy had gone out to collect eggs from the chickens, and he discovered that they were all rotten. He took the eggs in his basket and meant to dispose of them in the field when he came across the hole. Rather than walk any farther, the boy tossed the rotten eggs into the abyss and returned home. The next morning, all of the eggs the chickens had laid were once again rotten. So once again the boy gathered them up and took them to the hole. However, when he arrived he saw this circle of stones by the tree. Inside the circle was the exact number of eggs he'd thrown into the hole the day before, all of them fresh and new.
"We have been giving all of our broken and rotten things to the hole," the elder said, "and it gives them back to us, mended. You have heard of the blight that plagues our village. Our crops rot and our animals die without reason. We would have all starved without this gift. You'll see. In the morning come and look in the stone circle."
The elder found me lodging with a poor family in need of the money, and I slept fitfully, covered only in a small blanket that smelled of sickness and death. I dreamed of my son and awoke with tears on my face. I left the home before the family was up and made my way to the hole. And there, inside the stone circle, was the mug, it's handle attached and the crack repaired.
I did not trust my eyes until I reached out and picked up the object, turned it over in my hands. There was no doubt, it was the same mug that the elder had thrown into the chasm. There was no sign at all that it had ever been broken. Tears burned my eyes as I looked into that black void in the ground, wondering what secrets lay on the other side.
Who could say how long the hole would remain? It appeared out of nowhere and could vanish just as quickly. So I gathered my belongings and mounted my horse and began the journey back home.
It was night when I arrived but I did not go home. I went instead to the burial place. There was a spade near the entrance, and this I used to dig at a mound of earth beneath a small wooden cross. I dug until a piece of cloth was uncovered, then I used my hands to clear away the rest of the dirt.
There he was, my son. His small body wrapped in cloth and reeking of death. It was almost more than I could bear. I lifted him as gently as I could, his body so much lighter in death than it was in life. I held my breath against the stench and laid him across the back of my animal, who whinnied at the smell, at the dead thing now strapped to him. Then I coaxed the horse back onto the road and into a run, and I would not let him stop until we reached the faraway village.
It was once again night when I arrived. I carried my son's body to the abyss and fought every urge in me to unwrap him and see his face, because I knew that whatever I saw would not be him. I held him to chest, standing there at the edge of the void, and then I let him go, let him fall into the blackness.
I waited all night.
I stared at the stone circle until my eyes burned. But he did not appear. And when the sky grew lighter and that space was still empty, I knelt in the dirt and wept bitterly.
In the midst of my weeping I did sense something within the stone circle. A silvery shadow that could only be glimpsed from the right angle. It mimicked my movement and then vanished. I mounted my horse to begin the return journey, and I felt that the shadow was following me. And I felt this the entire way home.
I did not see the shadow during that time but I sensed its presence, and when I finally made it back to my house it entered behind me through the door and settled into the walls, the ceiling.
My dear, precious wife's prayer was answered. We are haunted now, and the moaning that I hear in the night is no longer my wife, it is the voice of my son. His soul brought back from wherever it had been, and he cries in the night, begging to leave this grey in-between place and return to where the light is.
My wife says she wishes to move to another house, but I do believe that we will be followed. That abyss did what it could. It gave back to us what was left of our son.
Word reached me not long after that the faraway village had disappeared. Every man, woman, and child is gone. The hole disappeared as well. All that remains are homes and buildings, standing like empty monuments to a dark world that never gives without taking something away.

Q: javascript onclick create element (label) I am currently developing a webapp, draft link: http://webtrickssolutions.in/ayna/new-Building.html#
i have problem with javascript coding, when pressing on "OK" button, it should add a row underneath the filled data "Language" and "Text" / the new row should be Label. for example if i added two times:
English "BuildingName01" (delete icon)
Arabic  "XXXXX05" (delete icon)
and it should remove the English and Arabic from the drop down menu as i cant select the language twice.
current javascript code is:

A: On click of the OK button you can remove the particular option:
var item = "Hindi";
$("select option:contains('"+item+"')").remove();

A: If you want to remove the specific element, this can be removed via
$("#selectBox option[value='English']").remove();

However, for this to be dynamic, you would have to first grab the value of the selected index:
var option = $('#selector :selected').val()

Following, remove this using a dynamic selector, like:
$("#selectBox2 option[value='" + option + "]")

EDIT: Updated Post:
I'd suggest that, the further down you go the more complex this object will be to maintain. Therefore, I suggest that instead of dynamically adding the element through a string, like so, you instead generate it using an array. This can be seen in this Fiddle. Obviously, this uses a newer version of jQuery, so can replace the 'On' with the 'Live' method.
This works by firstly creating a new select element:
var newSelect = $('<select/>');

Then, adds each element from the current dropdown as options to this select
$(this).parent().find("option:not(:selected)").each(function() {
    newSelect.append($('<option/>').html($(this).val()));
});

& Finally appending this to the document
$("#options-table").before(newSelect);

The HTTP parser in all current versions of Node.js ignores spaces in the `Content-Length` header, allowing input such as `Content-Length: 1 2` to be interpreted as having a value of `12`. The HTTP specification does not allow for spaces in the `Content-Length` value and the Node.js HTTP parser has been brought into line on this particular difference. The security risk of this flaw to Node.js users is considered to be VERY LOW as it is difficult, and may be impossible, to craft an attack that makes use of this flaw in a way that could not already be achieved by supplying an incorrect value for `Content-Length`. Vulnerabilities may exist in user-code that make incorrect assumptions about the potential accuracy of this value compared to the actual length of the data supplied. Node.js users crafting lower-level HTTP utilities are advised to re-check the length of any input supplied after parsing is complete.

Oregon standoff holdouts now want pardons for all involved
Updated Jan 29, 2016 ; Posted Jan 29, 2016
In YouTube video from refuge, David Fry says remaining group demands to be pardoned
By Kelly House | The Oregonian/OregonLive
The last holdouts in the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge standoff say they now want pardons for everyone involved before they'll leave the headquarters where they're holed up behind police roadblocks.
"Before we leave, every single one of the people involved in this operation should be pardoned," occupier David Fry said in a feed posted to YouTube just before noon Friday.
With Ammon Bundy and 10 other members of the armed occupation behind bars and most of the rest gone of their own accord, four remain inside the compound.
They are: Fry, 27, of Blanchester, Ohio; Sandy Anderson, 48, of Idaho; her husband, Sean Anderson, 47; and Jeff Banta, 46, of Elko, Nevada.
The remaining occupiers had been livestreaming the standoff on YouTube or posting periodic videos to detail their preparations to die at the refuge. But they had filed no dispatches for more than 24 hours until Fry broke the silence.
His five-and-a-half-minute video included details of the occupiers' new demands and a diatribe against Hillary Clinton.
He said FBI negotiators have told him that they have no power to clear Sean Anderson of charges related to a felony warrant for his arrest. Records show he has an outstanding bench warrant related to an August 2014 arrest.
"Obviously we can't get outta here scot-free," Fry said in the video. He believes authorities plan to arrest the highest-risk occupiers right away. As for the rest, "they just want to separate us and get us all home so they can pick us off one-by-one."
To avoid that scenario, Fry is demanding pardons for the four remaining occupiers plus everyone who has already left the compound.
The Pacific Patriots Network, a group that has followed the refuge occupation, also spelled out several demands on Friday in a call for support from its members. The network of various patriot groups used strong language in condemning the shooting of Robert "LaVoy" Finicum and the arrest of an occupier they were helping to leave the refuge on Wednesday night.
The network, which plans a protest in Burns on Monday, demands the arrest of the top FBI agent in Oregon and any other law enforcement officers involved with his death, removal of all FBI agents from Harney County and the resignation of several county leaders and Sheriff Dave Ward.
Joseph Rice, a founding member of the network from Grants Pass, said he expects as many 200 people to come to Burns over the weekend.
Yet the network was clear it wants a "peaceful" operation.
"If you have any ill intent," the group's statement continued, "please do not come. We do not need you."
The group asked supporters to come in civilian attire and to follow a "policy of no long guns within the community."
Still, the scene at the refuge headquarters 30 miles south of Burns was unusually inactive Friday morning. In recent days, police vehicles have come and gone, sometimes in convoys containing dozens of vehicles.
There was no visible police presence at a roadblock just beyond the turnoff from Oregon 205 onto Sodhouse Lane, which leads six miles to the refuge headquarters. Still, federal agents leading the effort to end the standoff have said they are working "round-the-clock" to remove the holdouts from the compound.
Meanwhile, those in the community are left to wonder when it will end and debate the details of an FBI video depicting the death of LaVoy Finicum, a spokesman for the occupation who was shot by state police Tuesday when leaders Ammon Bundy, his brother, Ryan Bundy, and Ryan Payne were arrested on their way to a community meeting in John Day.
Ammon Bundy, the son of controversial Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy, and his followers took over the federal refuge Jan. 2 in protest of longer prison sentences for two local ranchers and federal land management policies.
"I don't know what's going to happen next," Fry said in his video posted at 11:54 a.m., "but I'll try to keep y'all updated."

Why Indigenous Peoples Day and Columbus Day are Irreconcilable
Christopher Columbus is also the namesake of several landmarks in New York City, including Columbus Circle. (Courtesy of Flickr)
Mia Beverly, Contributing Writer
While I want to respond to Dane Salmon's op-ed as an opinion piece, I feel obligated also to correct some inaccuracies, point out some dangerous word use and demystify the legend of Christopher Columbus. My goal in writing this piece is not only to explain why Columbus Day is racist, dangerous and sanitizing of a genocidal history, but also to extend the conversation to Italian Americans and confirm why it is harmful for not only indigenous people but for all American citizens as well.
Firstly, "contributions" is a strong and misleading word for Christopher Columbus's actions.
Columbus was from Italy, a nation that didn't even exist until 1861. Columbus Day was an empty gesture of apology towards Italian Americans in the wake of American history's biggest lynching, which took the lives of 11 Italian Americans.
President Benjamin Harrison declared it a one-time national holiday as a diplomatic move to squash outrage from the Italian community, a move to prevent war between the United States and Italy, and part of a process that made Italian Americans "white" after decades of racialized bigotry toward the 20th-century wave of immigrants.
Frankly, Italian Americans have rich history and heritage, from which they could find worthier heroes, including Giuseppe Garibaldi, Victor Emmanuel II, Matilde Serao or Maria Montessori. It's an insult to Italians and Italian Americans to be celebrated only once a year and be represented by a homicidal maniac who started the first transatlantic slave trade. For all that they've contributed to this country and for all that they've received in return, it only exasperates the hidden wounds.
Second, you cannot compartmentalize genocide. If only we could separate the murderer from Columbus, but the indigenous people of South America and the Caribbean were not given such a privilege.
When you think of the Spanish ships Niña, Pinta and the Santa María, you think of the birth of America. I think of the Arawak women who were kidnapped and brought to those ships to be sexually assaulted and sold as slaves. I think of their babies he threw to dogs to be eaten. I think of the people he killed, dismembered and displayed in parades for all to see. As a descendant of the Arawak, I cannot say that Columbus was anything more than his crimes.
There is also a misconception that Columbus was exalted by his Spanish sponsors. After receiving reports back about the atrocities he committed against the Christian Queen's vessels for conversion, he was ordered back to Spain, removed of his gubernatorial titles and put into chains. He was an outright criminal.
So don't be "saddened" when you think of indigenous people. Be grateful and overjoyed because we survived hell. Columbus failed to do exactly what he meant to do and that was to extinguish us.
As you could see from the Native American Festival held on campus just this past weekend, we are far from extinct.
One of the biggest misconceptions about indigenous people is that they are completely static historical figures, "extinguished and lost to the ages, relegated to a page in the history books or an impoverished reservation," but actually we are alive and well. A majority of us live off reservations with a large population in New York City, including the Taino. Finite language use of the words "extinguished" and "lost" is dangerous because it implies all indigenous people are extinct, historical players rather than real people still fighting against colonialism.
And how could we be lost? We are the first people of this land; we are exactly where we are supposed to be. Your language is also divisive since I, as a mixed race indigenous person, do not see Columbus or the other colonists as "our" European forefathers of white America today. I see them as criminals who killed and robbed my ancestors, who were not thinking of you or their descendants' political security. They set up a network in which a vaguely identified dominant group could continuously benefit from colonialism today.
Part of the way for Americans to fix and heal from that is to recognize the indigenous story as not a tragedy but a triumphant story of resilience and strength.
Not only should Indigenous Peoples Day replace Columbus Day, but America should let Christopher Columbus die. His time may be over, but mine is just beginning. The people who founded America weren't Columbus; they were the colonial lower-class citizens and indigenous people who fought the Revolutionary War for the elites.
They were the Haudenosaunee, from whose government Benjamin Franklin was inspired. They were the waves of immigrants who came and built on what was started. Let Columbus die so that we can heal as a nation from the literal blood spilled on Turtle Island.
While I want to applaud you for praising Indigenous Peoples Day, that is the very least you could do, and you can't even quite manage that.

Judge Rules that the U.S. Discriminates against Puerto Rico
Federal Judge William G. Young ruled on the difference between the treatment of Puerto Rico and the states in three federal programs.
The programs involved in the court case:
Supplemental Security Income, which provides extra income for the elderly, blind, or disabled
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or NAP in Puerto Rico, the food stamps program
Medicare Part D Low-Income Subsidy, which helps cover the cost of prescription drugs
"The federal safety net is flimsier and more porous in Puerto Rico than in the rest of the nation," he wrote. "To be blunt, the federal government discriminates against Americans who live in Puerto Rico."
The First Circuit Court of Appeals ruled earlier this year that residents of Puerto Rico could not be denied Supplemental Security Income (SSI) merely because they live in Puerto Rico. In that case, an individual was receiving SSI when living in a state. He moved to Puerto Rico and his benefits were cut. The court ruled that this was discriminatory.
Rational basis
The federal government is allowed to treat territories differently from states, as long as the differences have a "rational basis." The government has generally supported different treatment for Puerto Rico with three arguments:
Residents of Puerto Rico are generally exempt from federal income tax. Judge Williams pointed out that these "safety net" programs are only available to people who earn too little to pay income tax, wherever they live.
The cost of extending these programs to Puerto Rico would be very high. It is true that Puerto Rico has a higher poverty level than that of any state. Does the government really get to say they don't feel like paying for nutrition assistance because it seems too expensive?
Treating Puerto Rico fairly "might disrupt the island's economy." The idea here is that people might choose to live entirely on Social Security and food stamps, rather than working, if they received amounts that people could live on. Young pointed out that these programs do not vary from one state to another on the basis of the poverty levels in the states. It seems odd, in any case, to decide that an economy which is currently in a desperate condition caused by its territorial status would somehow be "disrupted" by providing needy people with food and health care.
Judge Young also pointed out "that from 2000 to 2005, Puerto Rico residents paid more in federal taxes than six states and all other U.S. territories combined. In addition, he wrote that in fiscal year 2019, the federal government collected more than $3.5 billion in taxes from Puerto Rico residents," according to the New York Times.
The court also gave a stay of 60 days for the federal government to appeal. Observers say that the case may go to the Supreme Court.
If Puerto Rico must be treated equally with states, would Congress be more open to statehood for Puerto Rico? Every territory which has become a state has become more prosperous as a state than it was as a territory. Puerto Rico would be able too contribute more as a state than it now does as a territory. As Puerto Rico prepares for another status vote, this court decision might encourage support for statehood.

Interview: Eric Schlosser, investigative journalist and author of 'Command and Control'
Posted Wed 2 Sep 2015, 10:51pm
Updated Wed 2 Sep 2015, 10:51pm
Tony Jones speaks with Eric Schlosser about his latest work which documents the many near disasters in America's nuclear weapons program and the fearful, ongoing possibility of nuclear war.
TONY JONES, PRESENTER: In February of 1958, a Mark 6 atomic bomb was dropped from a B-47 into the yard of a farmhouse in Mars Bluff, South Carolina. Unlike most other nuclear accidents, it couldn't be kept secret and so inspired The New York Times headline, "Are We Safe from Our Own Atomic Bombs?" It turned out the navigator sent down into the bomb bay to investigate a warning light, then stumbled, accidentally pulled the release and dropped the 8,000-pound nuclear bomb.
(Excerpt from Dr Strangelove shown)
The story appears to have inspired this classic scene in the film Dr Strangelove.
ERIC SCHLOSSER, AUTHOR, COMMAND AND CONTROL: Now I do think that Stanley Kubrick was aware of this accident because in the film Dr Strangelove, there's a scene where they're trying to drop a hydrogen bomb and it won't fall out of the plane and the pilot of the plane jumps on the bomb to try to get the bomb bay doors to open up and then winds up riding the bomb down.
TONY JONES: Well in his latest book, Command and Control, investigative journalist Eric Schlosser documents the many near disasters in America's nuclear weapons program and the fearful ongoing possibility of nuclear war. One example in 1980 tells you how the simplest human error almost wiped out the state of Arkansas, along with its young governor Bill Clinton and his family. It's known as the Damascus incident after the small town in the Ozark Mountains where a Titan II missile almost exploded in its silo.
MALE VOICEOVER: Titan II, the largest and the most powerful ballistic missile in our arsenal.
TONY JONES: The horrific chain of events started when a maintenance man in the silo dropped a metal socket from his wrench and it fell more than 80 feet down the side of the missile before puncturing its fuel tank. Well Eric Schlosser's new book takes us down that scary road to Damascus. He joined us just a short time ago.
Eric Schlosser, thanks for joining us.
ERIC SCHLOSSER, AUTHOR, COMMAND AND CONTROL: Thanks for having me.
TONY JONES: Just how close did we come to losing most of Arkansas and the entire Clinton family?
ERIC SCHLOSSER: We came pretty close. There was a major accident involving the most powerful nuclear warhead the United States ever built and that warhead could have detonated. And if it had detonated, Arkansas would have been consumed in fire storms. Governor Clinton and his wife Hillary and their baby Chelsea, who was one year old, most likely would have died and there would have been deadly fallout up the Eastern Seaboard of the United States.
TONY JONES: Just give us a sense of how big that warhead was on the Titan II because it's the biggest warhead made, pretty much.
ERIC SCHLOSSER: The warhead was nine megatonnes, which is the equivalent of nine million tonnes of TNT and that one warhead had three times the explosive force of all the bombs used by all the armies in the Second World War combined, including both atomic bombs.
TONY JONES: Did no-one imagine an accident like this happening with a maintenance crew? I mean, clearly the skin of this missile must have been extremely tight under pressure. For a small piece of metal to fall 80 feet and then bounce off the wall and puncture it must have been considered at least.
ERIC SCHLOSSER: Well you know, his missile was on alert in 1980 and it had been on alert for about 16 years. Nothing like this had ever happened before. One of the things I look at in the book is how difficult it is to predict accidents in complex technological systems. In that nuclear weapon accident, it was a socket that was accidentally dropped. In another nuclear weapons accident I wrote about, a navigator on a B-52 brought some rubber seat cushions onto the plane, stowed them under the seat inadvertently near a heat vent. The seat cushions caught on fire, the plane caught on fire and it was carrying four hydrogen bombs and those could have detonated. So again and again you see it's often very trivial things that can lead to potentially catastrophic effects.
TONY JONES: I've got to ask you briefly: what happened in the Damascus incident? What was the final result of it? Because I think the warhead blew right off the missile.
ERIC SCHLOSSER: I don't want to give away the ending of the book, but it's safe to say that the state of Arkansas was not consumed in a fire storm. But there was remarkable heroism by young airmen, young Air Force personnel. And one of the things that my book does is look at how again and again ordinary servicemen risked their lives and sometimes lost them to prevent accidental nuclear detonations in the United States.
TONY JONES: Well, 1980 was a big year for potential nuclear catastrophe. Earlier the same year, the President's National Security Advisor, Zbigniew Brzezinski, was woken in the middle of the night by a phone call from a staff general who told him that 220 Soviet missiles had been launched from submarines and were on their way in a surprise attack on the United States. What happened next?
ERIC SCHLOSSER: And Brzezinski was the National Security Advisor to President Carter and he told his military aide, General Odom, to check up on that and call him back and General Odom called him back a few minutes later and said, "I'm sorry, Sir, it's actually 2,200 missiles." And Brzezinski said, "Well I want you to check that," and Brzezinski lay in bed preparing to call President Carter to advise a retaliatory strike on the Soviet Union and Brzezinski decided not to wake up his wife, who was asleep beside him because he figured if Washington was about to be destroyed by a nuclear weapon, he wanted his wife to die in her sleep. The phone rang again. It was General Odom, who said, "Very sorry, Sir. It was a mistake." And in this case, the false alarm was caused by a single computer chip that had been improperly installed in a communications computer and we were very lucky that, you know, no retaliatory strike was ordered.
TONY JONES: Now since you've been in Australia, there is an addendum to that story and I'll get you quickly to tell it because it's terrifying.
ERIC SCHLOSSER: I spoke in Melbourne the other night and afterwards an American came over to me, said that he was a launch officer in a Titan II silo that night and he and his fellow officer were given the orders to remove their keys, put them into the control panel and they both stood there, both officers, with their keys, awaiting the order to turn them. And once those keys were turned, a Titan II missile would have taken off heading for the Soviet Union and there's no calling them back.
TONY JONES: Now some might say, well, look, that's all in the dark ages. We've got new technology now, we've got failsafe mechanisms, the system's a hell of a lot safer. That's true, but only in part, isn't it?
ERIC SCHLOSSER: As long as there are fully-assembled nuclear weapons, there will be the potential for catastrophe. A few years ago, 50 of our Minutemen missiles in the United States suddenly went offline and they were offline for an hour. And what that meant was the officers could not communicate with their missiles and there was some fear at the Air Force that someone had hacked into our command-and-control system.
TONY JONES: Is that actually one of the biggest fears now? Because let's say the NSA, which generates and holds the launch codes for nuclear weapons, it's already been effectively penetrated by a private contractor, Ed Snowden, who got some of their biggest secrets - that's happened once; could it happen with nuclear launches?
ERIC SCHLOSSER: There is no evidence that Snowden got the launch codes to our missiles, but the fact that a private contractor could get the sort of secrets that he did is extremely disturbing. The former head of the United States Strategic Command in charge of all of our missiles and nuclear weapons gave a speech a couple of months ago talking about how concerned he is about the potential of someone hacking into a nuclear command-and-control system, either in the United States, in Russia or in China. These are very, very dangerous machines, and like all machines, eventually they go wrong.
TONY JONES: Now, if this is all happening in the world's most advanced technological nuclear power, what's happening in Pakistan, which has the fastest-growing nuclear arsenal in the world, but we know the problems of the political system in Pakistan?
ERIC SCHLOSSER: We don't know. We don't know how Russia is handling its nuclear weapons. I'm very critical of my government in my book, but the United States has been much more open about its nuclear weapons systems than any other country in the world and much more open about its accidents and mistakes. I mean, it took me years through the Freedom of Information Act to get this information, but at least I was able to get it.
TONY JONES: It was kept secret until then.
ERIC SCHLOSSER: It was kept secret ...
TONY JONES: Hundreds of pages of incident reports which you acquired had all been kept secret.
ERIC SCHLOSSER: I found more than 1,000 accidents and incidents involving nuclear weapons. And in many ways it's a testament to the skill of our weapons designers that none of them detonated full scale, but I interviewed many of them for my book and they feel it's not a question of whether this is gonna happen, but when.
TONY JONES: What's the biggest hair trigger in the nuclear front, nuclear warfare front now? I mean, is it India, Pakistan, is it the possibility of terrorists getting a hold of a nuclear weapon or even a - plutonium to create a dirty bomb, or is it a state actor that we haven't really talked about?
ERIC SCHLOSSER: I think the two most concerning things are the rivalry between India and Pakistan. They're neighbours and the flight time of a missile is going to be five or six minutes. So if one of those countries thinks the other one's about to attack, there's not gonna be the same kind of time available like Zbigniew Brzezinski had to find out if it's a false alarm or a real attack. And you have two countries that have very intense hatred of one another both armed with nuclear weapons. And the other is the possibility of a terrorist group getting hold of a nuclear weapon or making one. I have a book coming out here soon called Gods of Metal, which is about a break-in at an American nuclear weapons facility that showed how easily terrorists could break into one of these facilities and get the weapons-grade uranium to make their own bomb.
TONY JONES: Eric Schlosser, that's another interview and if there's any chance of doing it, we will do it. I have read that book, actually. It's remarkable and very interesting.
ERIC SCHLOSSER: Thank you.
TONY JONES: So, you'll come back to us, hopefully.
ERIC SCHLOSSER: Thank you very much.

The lighting in your living room is massively important. If you get the right fixture in place, you make the whole room look attractive and complete. You can visit sites like www.quoizellightingsource.com to find good lighting fixtures. You will want to find something that doesn't stand out for being fashionable and unusual. Instead, you should find a classy design that is simple yet effect. A beautiful hanging light made from a durable yet simple material is always good. And chandelier fixtures always offer that timeless quality you've been looking for.
There are so many trends and fads that you read about these days. But home design shouldn't be dictated by what someone happens to say looks good at this time of the year. If you want your living room to look perfect, you should make decisions on what you love. If you think something looks good now, you should think about whether you still would in 5 years time. This is an excellent way to helping yourself move past the endless focus on fads and trends. They should be avoided at all costs because we all know that these fads disappear as quickly as they arrive.
There are some colours that simply look traditional and classy. They don't go in or out of fashion, and that's a rare thing. So, creams, whites, and some simple pastel colours can all look good in your living room. As long as it's nothing over the top or audacious, you should be able to make it work. The best of these colours will make the room look like it's always been in fashion and always will be. Then you should think about the textures. Strong woods like oak, some marble and copper can call look very good and timeless. But which you opt for will depend on what you're looking to achieve.

Q: How to make a Bokeh scatter plot interactive (with slider) I'm trying to make a scatter plot in Bokeh based on the simple example code posted here.
The following code produces a working demo for a line plot:
from bokeh.layouts import column
from bokeh.models import CustomJS, ColumnDataSource, Slider
from bokeh.plotting import Figure, show

# fetch and clear the document
from bokeh.io import curdoc
curdoc().clear()

x = [x*0.005 for x in range(0, 100)]
y = x

source = ColumnDataSource(data=dict(x=x, y=y))

plot = Figure(plot_width=400, plot_height=400)

plot.line(x='x', y='y', source=source)

def callback(source=source, window=None):
    data = source.data
    f = cb_obj.value
    x, y = data['x'], data['y']
    for i in range(len(x)):
        y[i] = window.Math.pow(x[i], f)
    source.trigger('change')

slider = Slider(start=0.1, end=4, value=1, step=.1, title="Start week",
                callback=CustomJS.from_py_func(callback))

layout = column(slider, plot)

show(layout)

It looks like this:

In this demo, when you adjust the slider and press the 'reset' icon, the plot re-draws itself based on the updated formula for y=f(x).
However, I want to make a scatter plot that changes, not a line plot.
Problem:
When I simply change plot.line in above code to plot.circle, the plot renders okay but it is static - it does not change when you shift the slider and press 'reset'.  No error messages that I can see.

A: I found the answer in the documentation.
The final line in callback should be source.change.emit() not source.trigger('change').  I do not know the difference between these two but the latter works with circle plots.
I.e.
def callback(source=source, window=None):
    data = source.data
    f = cb_obj.value
    x, y = data['x'], data['y']
    for i in range(len(x)):
        y[i] = window.Math.pow(x[i], f)
    source.change.emit()

Q: homotopy type of loop space components Let $X$ be a closed manifold, and let $X^{S^1}$ denote the free loop space of $X$, that is, the set of continuous maps $S^1 \rightarrow X$. Let $Y$ denote a component of $X^{S^1}$.
What conditions ensure that $Y$ is homotopic to a finite CW complex? (by finite, I mean, the total number of cells is finite).
Edit - thanks to Somnath, sufficient conditions are certainly when $X$ is an Eilenberg-Maclane space, as then the based loop space is contractible. Are there any other different sufficient conditions?

A: There are some negative results about. For instance, a theorem of Sullivan and Vigué-Poirrier states that if $M$ is a closed manifold with $\pi_1(M)$ finite, and if the cohomology algebra $H^*(M;\mathbb{R})$ requires at least two generators, then the Betti numbers of $M^{S^1}$ are unbounded. The finiteness assumption implies that $M^{S^1}$ has only finitely many path components, and so at least one of them is not a finite CW-complex.


The Summer Occupational Therapy Immersion (SOTI) program is a four-week summer program designed for international occupational therapists and occupational therapy students who are interested in learning about occupational therapy practice, education and research in the United States. (Students who are applying to, or have already been admitted to, the USC Chan Division's master's or OTD degree programs may also choose to participate in this summer session prior to the start of their fall semester.) This program will serve as an introduction to occupational science and occupational therapy (OT) practice in the United States and will provide opportunities for students to learn from USC's renowned faculty and visit various clinical settings in Southern California.
Thursday Site Visit: Casa Colina Rehabilitation Hospital Site Visit cont.
