By: David Sedaris
Narrated by: David Sedaris
For more than 25 years, David Sedaris has been carving out a unique literary space, virtually creating his own genre. A Sedaris story may seem confessional, but is also highly attuned to the world outside. It opens our eyes to what is at absurd and moving about our daily existence. And it is almost impossible to listen without laughing.
Almost No New Material
By Lizardectomy on 11-05-20
A sweeping saga in the vein of Ask Again, Yes following a foster family through almost a decade of dazzling triumph and wrenching heartbreak - from the author of The Orphans at Race Point.
Set in the late 1950s through 1960s in a small town in Massachusetts, All the Children Are Home follows the Moscatelli family - Dahlia and Louie, foster parents, and their long-term foster children Jimmy, Zaidie, and Jon - and the irrevocable changes in their lives when a six-year-old indigenous girl, Agnes, comes to live with them.
When Dahlia decided to become a foster mother, she had a few caveats: no howling newborns, no delinquents, and above all, no girls. A harrowing incident years before left her a virtual prisoner in her own home, forever wary of the heartbreak and limitation of a girl's life.
Eleven years after they began fostering, Dahlia and Louie consider their family complete, but when the social worker begs them to take a young girl who has been horrifically abused and neglected, they can't say no.
Six-year-old Agnes Juniper arrives with no knowledge of her Native American heritage or herself beyond a box of trinkets given to her by her mother and dreamlike memories of her sister. As the years pass and outside forces threaten to tear them apart, the children, now young adults, must find the courage and resilience to save themselves and each other. Heartfelt and enthralling, All the Children Are Home is a moving testament to the enduring power of love in the face of devastating loss.

19/06/2015: See also this new post explaining how to authenticate using Certificates to call the Azure Resource Manager APIs from .NET.
Microsoft Azure provides two management APIs, the older Service Management API and the new Azure Resource Manager API. Both are REST APIs (that also serve as the foundation for higher-level APIs such as PowerShell and .NET) that allow you to view and manipulate Azure resources such as websites, VMs and cloud services.
Careless or malicious access to these APIs has the potential to break your applications and cost you money, so obviously these API calls need to be authenticated. There are two ways of doing this: using Azure Active Directory, or using Management Certificates. Today, Management Certificates are probably the most common way of handling authentication, however certificates can be cumbersome to deal with, and more importantly this option is not supported with the new Azure Resource Manager API. Therefore it's important to understand how to use Azure Active Directory to authenticate to the APIs.
Brady Gaster has an excellent post that provides step-by-step instructions on using AAD to authenticate calls to the Service Management API. However the approach he's used results in a dialog box popping up asking for credentials. This is fine for certain operations tasks launched interactively by a human (or cyborg equivalent), but no good for any fully automated processes such as continuous deployment, scripted scaling or failover tasks. Fortunately, you can modify this approach to avoid the dialog box and authenticate your scripts without any user interaction.
Note: Azure's capabilities and APIs change rapidly. This information is current as of November 2014. If you're reading this in the distant future, you may want to check with other sources on current capabilities and best practices.
The first thing you'll need is a service account whose credentials you'll be using to authenticate against Azure Active Directory. A service account is important as you don't to put your own credentials into your scripts, plus if you use a Microsoft Account to authenticate to the Azure Portal you couldn't use this with the APIs even if you wanted to.
When you log into the Azure Management Portal and choose the Active Directory icon (it's a pyramid shaped thing), you should see a default directory associated with your subscription. Confusingly, my directory has the exact same name as me (although I'm the better looking of the two). After selecting my directory, I can drill into Users and create a new user (I called mine "Service Account" or "service" for short). Azure Active Directory will assign a temporary password; you'll need to log in as that user in another browser session to assign a permanent password. Note the user will be given a UPN with your directory's domain name, which in my case is service@tomhollanderhotmail.onmicrosoft.com.
Now, you need to give this user access to your subscription. When using the Service Management API, the only option is to make this user a co-admin of your subscription, which gives them the keys to the castle – they can do whatever they want in your subscription. This is obviously risky, so you'll need to be very careful to protect the credentials for your service account. To make the user a co-admin, choose Manage Administrators from the subscription menu at the top of the page, enter the user's UPN and choose the subscription(s) you want them to have access to.
On the other hand, if you're using the Azure Resource Manager API, you can use the awesome new Role-Based Access Control functionality to assign fine-grained permissions to different users. While you'll still need to be careful with the service account credentials, this approach is much safer as you can limit the account's rights to what they need to do. In my case I'll use the new Azure Portal to add it to my subscription's built-in Reader group, giving it read-only access to all of my resources, although I could have been much more fine-grained, for example by letting it create but not delete websites.
One final step before we start coding is to add a Client Application to our Azure Active Directory tenant. This is the exact same process described in the documentation. In a nutshell, you need to select your directory, choose Applications, add a new Native Client application, assign it access to the Service Management APIs, and note down the Client ID as you'll need it in your code.
Finally, we're ready to start coding! First, we'll need to use Nuget to pull down the Active Directory Authentication Library (ADAL). ADAL is used to authenticate your user and generate an authorisation token which will be later sent to the Azure Management or Azure Resource Manager API via an HTTP header. Note the commented out code showing the "normal" way of using ADAL which results in an authentication dialog. However in this case we're going to specify the credentials directly (loaded from a configuration file). Make sure to read this post from identity guru Vittorio Bertocci that provides more context around the capbilities, limitations and risks of this approach.
// Directly specify the username and password.
Now we have a token, let's call some APIs! This post isn't about the details of the specific APIs or what you can do with them, so here are some very simple, "Hello World"-esque calls. Note that while I'm calling two different APIs (Service Management API and Azure Resource Manager API), the same authorisation token is used for both.
While it can be useful to call the Management APIs from .NET, many operations tasks are better accomplished through PowerShell. Fortunately you can also perform an unattended authentication to Azure Active Directory from PowerShell too.
Using Azure Active Directory to authenticate your Azure management API calls allows you to avoid deploying management certificates, and is a requirement if you are using the new Azure Resource Manager API. When your scripts are run interactively the most secure way of authenticating is to obtain credentials from the user each time. However if your scripts are running without any human interaction, you can authenticate by specifying the username and password directly in your code. Whenever you do this, be sure to protect the credentials carefully and change the password regularly, particularly if your user account is a co-administrator of your subscription.


Giveaway Closed. Congrats to FFC reader, Samantha. Check your email Samantha for details!
Oh I love Fall – sweaters, cool air after a HOT Summer, and CTC is back up and running! That's right, the Children's Theatre of Cincinnati returns for another blockbuster season to please young and old alike.
And the season starts with a classic I can't wait to see. The Wizard of Oz opens on Friday (10/14) and with sell outs all year last year, you'll want to move fast to make sure you don't miss out.
The beauty of CTC is that children can begin their appreciation of live theater young, in an environment that is totally kid-friendly. The shows are top notch and enjoyable for the whole family. This will be my family's third year as loyal fans and it is one of my favorite things about Cincinnati.
The whole season at CTC is going to be fantastic: after Oz there will be the third edition of Holiday Follies in December, Disney's My Son Pinocchio in February and the season wraps up with Rapunzel in March. I can't pick a favorite! And when you can get tickets for as little as $7 for each show – you don't need to!
You can find out more information on their site and order tickets. Believe me, sell outs will happen – it's the hot ticket for kiddos – so don't delay!
We're partnering with CTC again this year to give a family four pack of tickets to the 5pm performance of Wizard of Oz on Saturday, October 22nd. To enter to win, leave a comment here telling us which Oz character you would be and why. Earn a second entry after you do the first by going to CTC's Facebook Page and liking them so you don't miss out on any of their news. Come back here and leave a second comment telling us you did so. Earn a THIRD, yes THIRD entry by becoming a subscriber and leaving a comment. If you already are great – leave a comment letting us know.
We'll draw a winner on FRIDAY – OCTOBER 14th at 4:56 pm! Good luck and for our friends at Children's Theatre: BREAK A LEG!
i wish this song was longer and yes i mean? the actual song not the 2 whole minutes of introduction haha.
I'm a huge Wizard of Oz fan. We went and saw this tonight. Since we moved here from NY, we have gone to Cincinnati Children's Theater for about 4 years now. It was not the same quality of shows as they usually produce. It was good, but you can tell they've changed management. It is a decent show. However, it is not the typical Wizard of Oz play from any stage version I've seen. There were some funny moments. Staging and dancing was weak. Acting was good. Singing was so so. Set was really nice, though. HEADS UP FOR THOSE WITH VERY SMALL CHILDREN– When they meet the wizard, it can get a bit scary for little ones. My 11 and 13 year old seemed to enjoy it and they've seen the Wizard of Oz 3 or 4 times already. / I would be Glinda because she flies around in a bubble!

Марк А́нний (; умер после 218 года до н. э.) — римский политический деятель из плебейского рода Анниев, триумвир по выведению колоний в 218 году до н. э. Вместе с консуляром Гаем Лутацием Катулом и преторием (бывшим претором) Гаем Сервилием Гемином основал римские колонии Плаценция и Кремона в землях галлов.Триумвиры не смогли довести раздел земель до конца из-за восстания бойев; перед лицом военной угрозы они бежали в Мутину, так как укрепления Плаценции показались им недостаточно надёжными. Учитывая статусы его коллег, антиковед Роберт Броутон предположил, что до 218 года до н. э. Марк Анний занимал должность претора.

Тит Ливий приводит альтернативные данные источников, согласно которым в организации колоний, наряду с Катулом, участвовали не Марк Анний и Гай Сервилий Гемин, а Маний Ацилий и Гай Геренний или Публий Корнелий Сципион Азина и Гай Папирий Мазон.

Gumbi Ortiz –
Gumbi Ortiz
(KWIP – 2006)
Master percussionist Gumbi Ortiz's debut for KWIP MUSIC is a musical tribute to his home state of Florida. MIAMI features an all-star cast of musicians including Al DiMeola, Jeff Lorber, Eric Marienthal, Dave Weckl, Jay Beckenstein, Brandon Fields and many others. Ortiz kicks off his set with "South Beach" the first of 3 original compositions that reflect the ambience of Florida cities and neighborhoods.
"Miami" and "Biscayne" bring about an array of Latin rhythms and Caribbean beats that will have you on the dance floor before you know what happened. The CD also uses Ortiz's expertise as a percussionist to features an array of samba, retro soul and even a little gospel inflected R&B rhythms. Very few percussionists can boast of such affiliations, but Gumbi Ortiz who has played with Al DiMeola for the past 19 years – can definitely be proud of this stellar debut and should gain ample respect for his abilities as a bandleader. Check it out.

> Abstract
Mucoepidermoid carcinomas (MEC) are rare malignant tumors that originate in the submucosal bronchial glands, and complete resection usually correlates with favorable prognosis. A 54-year-old male patient was diagnosed with high-grade MEC in the left main bronchus via bronchoscopy. After the patient was diagnosed with metastatic lung cancer, chemotherapy was started. Two years after the diagnosis, the patient is still alive.

> Background
Mucoepidermoid carcinomas (MECs) are a distinct and rare form of malignant tumors that originate in the submucosal bronchial glands and are more common in the segmental bronchi than in the trachea or main bronchi. [1],[2],[3],[4] Although, they can be found in people from all age ranges (3 to 78 years -old), they usually are seen in people who are in their 30s and 40s. MECs are usually low-grade tumors rather than benign neoplasms, the term "bronchial adenoma" is a miscall and should be excluded, and good prognosis can be obtained by surgical resection. [2],[4] Patients with low-grade MEC generally have an excellent prognosis, and chemotherapy or radiotherapy is considered unnecessary. However, high-grade MECs demonstrate invasion into the bronchial submucosa and lymph nods, invade the pulmonary parenchyma and it have not yet been established effective treatment for high-grade tumors. [5] Herein, we present a patient with MEC, and emphasized the clinical features, treatment results and prognosis.
> Case report
A 54-year-old male patient who complained of cough, chest pain, and weight loss over the course of 1 month was admitted. Chest X-ray revealed a mass in the left hilar localization and chest computerized tomography (CT) showed a central mass measuring 37 × 24 mm in diameter [Figure 1]a. Bronchoscopy revealed an endobronchial mass, 3 cm away from the carina, overlapping from the bronchus of the left upper lobe towards the left main bronchus. Punch biopsies were performed from the mass and bronchoalveolar lavage was carried out.

Immunohistochemical staining for cytokeratin 5/7 and p63 showed positive and negative for TTF-1, respectively. Histopathological examination of the tissue reported the diagnosis as high-grade MEC.
Positron emission tomography-CT showed a hilar mass surrounding the left main bronchus extending towards the left upper and lower lobe bronchi and with uptake of 18F-fluoro-deoxy-glucose (FDG) (SUVmax = 7.4). In addition, the pathological FDG uptake was found in the right paratracheal, the right tracheobronchial, and the bilateral bronchopulmonary lymphatic nodes. It was also found in the parenchymal nodular lesions in the left lower lobe [Figure 2]. An abnormal FDG uptake was also detected in segment V of the liver, in the spinal process of the third cervical vertebra, on the edge of the right acetabulum, and in the sigmoid colon, suggesting the presence of metastases. Based on these findings, a colonoscopy was performed; however, no endoluminal disease was found. The patient was considered to be stage IV lung cancer and was sent to the medical oncology department.

Having diagnosed the patient with metastatic lung cancer, the medical oncology department planned six cycles of chemotherapy with cisplatin and docetaxel. Chemotherapy was started, and a clear regression of the mass was seen in the contrasted thoracic and abdominal CT scans performed 15 days after the third cycle, and the treatment was continued until completion of the sixth cycle. After the sixth cycle chemotherapy was done CT scan then revealed no disease progression [Figure 1]b. However, on the development of cranial metastasis in the 20 th months, three cycles of methotrexate were started. Methotrexate dosage was 40 mg/m 2 intravenously on the 1 st and 8 th days. Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) was negative in the present study. Therefore, the treatment was not planned. Two years after the diagnosis, the patient is still alive.
> Discussion
MEC is a malignant tumor originating in the bronchial glands. MEC was first described in 1952 by Smetana. [1] In the World Health Organization's histological classification of lung tumors, MECs belong in the main group of malignant epithelial tumors and the subgroup of salivary gland tumors. Histologically, they are classified as low-grade and high-grade. It may be difficult to differentiate high-grade MECs from adenosquamous carcinomas, histologically. The presence of transient low-grade carcinoma spaces in the high-grade MECs may be helpful in establishing a differential diagnosis. In pediatric and adolescent patients, the tumor is well-differentiated, low-grade, and usually has a benign course without relapses or metastasis. In two larger series, Heitmiller et al. [6] reported 18 cases and Yousem et al. [7] reported 58 cases. In the older age group, high-grade MEC is seen more frequently. [2] Some reports, have noted a male predominance for high-grade MEC. Most of the cases are admitted with symptoms such as cough, dyspnea, wheezing, and obstructive pneumonia. [1],[2] Pain, weight loss, and other general illness symptoms and findings are seen in aggressive and diffuse diseases. [1],[2]
MECs usually arise from the central and segmentary bronchi, and the symptoms are related to that region. [1] In the radiological images, atelectasis and obstructive pneumonia findings in the distal part of the bronchus are typical. The tumors may also be seen as nodular and cavitary lesions. [1],[3]
In low-grade tumors, conservative surgical treatment is preferred. Regional lymphatic node metastases have been seen in less than 5% of these tumors. In high-grade tumors, the prognosis is variable. Although, high-grade MECs are thought to have a better prognosis than non-small cell lung carcinomas, they also should be treated by radical surgical treatment. [4]
Yang et al. [8] reported on 11 patients in their study the 5-year survival of eight patients with high-grade MEC tumors was 25% and the median survival was 23.5 months. Six patients with high-grade tumors received adjuvant therapy, but their prognoses were reported as poor. In its conclusion, the study noted that histological grading of the MEC and the ability to perform an anatomic resection are the two most important factors that affect prognosis, and adjuvant therapy does not seem to be effective in patients with high-grade MEC. The survival time for our patient was 24 months, and he only received chemotherapy.
Li et al. [9] recommended the bronchoscopic laser method as an alternative to radical surgery in cases confined to the bronchus, and they successfully used Nd-YAG laser bronchoscopically in two cases. In their study, Singh et al. [10] recommended that, in the treatment of both low-grade and high-grade MECs, resection should be performed first; they also recommended that an additional excision be performed if the surgical border remained positive. Furthermore, they indicated that no adjuvant therapy is needed if the MEC tumor is low-grade and the patient is eligible for surgical treatment.
Metastases in MECs occur by lymphatic or hematogenous pathways. Metastases are most frequently seen in the regional lymphatic nodes (48%), bone (25%), distant lymphatic nodes (18%), and the adrenal gland, cerebral, and skin (14%). [10] As Singh et al. [10] stated, radiotherapy and chemotherapy are preferred in patients whose surgical margins remained positive and whose tumors cannot be re-resected, or in inoperable patients who already are metastatic at the time of diagnosis. In those patients, cisplatin, docetaxel, gemcitabine, adriamycin, and pemetrexed are preferred chemotherapy combinations. In our case, six cycles of cisplatin combined with docetaxel were administered, and a clear radiological response was obtained.
Treatment involving EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors showed promising outcome for MEC patients. [11] However, EGFR expression was not common either in the lung or salivary glands, which differed from the results of previous studies. [12],[13]
> Conclusion
MECs of the lung arise from the tracheobronchial glands, are rarely seen, and have a malignant potential, although, the tumors are usually low-grade. Surgery is the treatment of choice for the resectable tumors. Combined chemotherapy protocols are used in metastatic or inoperable tumors. There are no randomized controlled trials studying the profit of adjuvant chemotherapy in MECs of the lung and given the rarity of these tumors, such studies will likely never be designated.

Q: Prove that if $v$ and $w$ are linearly independent in $\mathbb{R}^3$, then $\{ v, w, v \times w\}$ is also linearly independent Please help, I don't know how to go with this. So far I've done this :
if $c_1v + c_2w + c_3(v\times w) = 0$ , then $c_1,c_2,c_3$ must be $0$, and $0$ must be the only solution.

A: I would use the fact that
$0
= v\cdot (v\times w)
= w\cdot (v\times w)
$.
If
$v\times w
= av+bw$
then
$0
=v\cdot(v\times w)
= v\cdot(av+bw)
=a|v|^2+b(v\cdot w)
$
and
$0
=w\cdot(v\times w)
= w\cdot(av+bw)
=av\cdot w+b|w|^2
$
which implies
$a = b = 0$.

A: By (one) definition, $a \times b$ is the unique vector satisfying
$\langle x, a \times b \rangle = \det \begin{bmatrix} x & a & b \end{bmatrix} $, and in particular we have $\|a \times b \|^2 = \det \begin{bmatrix} a \times b & a & b \end{bmatrix}$.
Hence we see that $a \times b = 0$ iff $a,b$ are
linearly dependent.
To see this note that if $a,b$ are linearly dependent, then
$\|a \times b \|^2 = \det \begin{bmatrix} a \times b & a & b \end{bmatrix} =0$ and so $a \times b = 0$. On the other hand, if $a \times b = 0$, then $\det \begin{bmatrix} x & a & b \end{bmatrix} = 0$
for all vectors $x$ and so we must have that $a,b$ are linearly
dependent (otherwise we could find a basis for $\mathbb{R}^3$ of the
form $a,b,x$ for which $\det \begin{bmatrix} x & a & b \end{bmatrix} \neq 0$, a contradiction).
Hence we have
$a,b$ are linearly independent iff $a \times b \neq 0$ iff
$\det \begin{bmatrix} a \times b & a & b \end{bmatrix} \neq 0$ iff
$a,b,a \times b$ are linearly independent.

The meaning of the 11th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution is that it is the amendment that prevents Americans from bringing federal lawsuits against the states. For example, the 11th Amendment establishes that federal courts do not have the jurisdiction to hear lawsuits against the states. If an individual wants to sue the state he lives in, he must bring that suit in the District Court of that state. To explore this concept, consider the following 11th Amendment definition.
The amendment to the Constitution that prevents American citizens from suing states in federal court.
What is the 11th Amendment?
The 11th Amendment to the Constitution prevents American citizens from suing a state in federal court. For example, the 11th Amendment dictates that, if an individual has a case that he would like to bring against the state he lives in, he must bring the lawsuit in the District Court of that state. There are exceptions to this rule, but there are very few of them.
The history of the 11th Amendment begins right after the creation of the Bill of Rights. In other words, the 11th Amendment was the first Constitutional amendment made after the adoption of the Bill of Rights (the first 10 amendments). The history of the 11th Amendment was rooted in a Supreme Court ruling wherein the Court held that federal courts had jurisdiction over individual cases against the states. As a result, states could not enjoy sovereign immunity from these kinds of cases.
The recent history of the 11th Amendment shows that it serves to clarify the Constitution, which is important since the Supreme Court often refers to the Constitution when making its decisions. With the 11th Amendment in place, federal courts could only hear state cases in certain situations, such as citizens from another state suing a different state from the one in which they lived.
Diversity jurisdiction refers to the procedure by which a federal district court can hear a state case, or civil case, when the amount in question is over $75,000. Another requirement of diversity jurisdiction is that the parties are "diverse," meaning they either live in a different state or country.
The Constitution gives Congress permission to allow federal courts to hear diversity cases. The Framers of the Constitution included the diversity jurisdiction provision because they were worried that a state court might favor the parties from its own state, no matter the issue. They therefore made it more difficult for federal courts to hear state cases by implementing restrictions on the kinds of cases federal courts can hear.
Immunity from suit when discussing sovereign immunity means that neither a state nor the head of state can become a defendant or even a subject in a court proceeding. No one can bring arbitration against a state, nor can anyone order the state to pay damages. Immunity from enforcement means that, even if a person can skirt around the immunity from suit issue and obtain a judgment, no one can enforce that judgment (i.e. no one can force a state to pay).
In some cases, a state may waive its immunity, such as if a prior written agreement exists, or if the state accepts being the defendant in a lawsuit.
A person can bring a state lawsuit in federal court if the lawsuit is against a state's subdivisions, like its counties or cities.
A state can consent to becoming a party to a state suit in federal court.
While no one can sue a state in state court under normal conditions, if a state breaks a federal law, the federal court can order that state's officials to comply with the law.
One of these 11th Amendment examples of exceptions to the ban was the matter of Martin v. Voinovich (1993), wherein the Supreme Court rendered a decision ordering Ohio's governor to build housing for handicapped people. This decision was the result of the state's refusal to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act.
One of the many the 11th Amendment affecting a Supreme Court case occurred in 1793 in the matter of Chisholm v. Georgia – two years before the creation of the 11th Amendment. Here, Alexander Chisholm went directly to the U.S. Supreme Court to sue the State of Georgia for payments he claimed the state owed him for goods received during the American Revolutionary War.
The State of Georgia did not appear as the defendant, arguing that it did not have to. Georgia was a sovereign state and, unless it consented to the lawsuit, Chisholm did not have the power to sue the state in federal court.
The question for the Court was an easy one: could a state citizen sue his state government in federal court? Perhaps unsurprisingly, as this was before the creation of the Eleventh Amendment, in a majority vote the Court ruled in Chisholm's favor. The Court reasoned that the Constitution stripped the State of Georgia of its sovereign immunity and, as such, the Supreme Court, as a federal court, had the jurisdiction to decide the case.
"For the reasons before given, I am clearly of opinion that a State is suable by citizens of another State; but left I should be understood in a latitude beyond my meaning, I think it necessary to subjoin this caution, viz., that such suability may nevertheless not extend to all the demands and to every kind of action; there may be exceptions.
In 1795, Chisholm became what was surely one of many 11th Amendment examples negating prior Supreme Court rulings. Now, citizens could only sue a state with that state's consent, or if Congress striped the state's immunity from the suit. Because neither of those things happened in this case, the Court reversed its judgment to favor the State of Georgia.

Even though Indigenous Peoples make up just 5 percent of the world's population, their ancestral territories collectively span across 65 percent of the Earth's surface. However, just 10 percent of that land is within their legal control. This discrepancy creates a significant gap in securing the human rights and political, social, and economic needs of the world's 5000 distinct Indigenous Peoples and Nations.
Despite their immense cultural and linguistic diversity, Indigenous Peoples developed their ways of life in much the same way. By maintaining an intimate relationship with the land for generations on end, the languages, livelihoods, customs, and cultures became inextricably linked to that same land. Some refer to this relationship as a bio-cultural heritage.
What happens when Indigenous Peoples have no legal control of their land? Their way of living faces indefinite threat, they are subjected to greater degrees of poverty, and the land itself is more likely to come under control of corporations and governments that allow resource extraction projects and other development schemes that pollute waterways, contribute to carbon emissions and cause massive deforestation (not to mention displacement of the peoples who live there). In some instances, these impacts lead to a complete ecosystem collapse.
In sharp contrast to this, studies show that Indigenous Peoples are the most effective managers and protectors of their territories which they view as a partner, a provider, and a living being. This perspective carries tangible results: in the Amazon, for example, the deforestation rate is eleven times lower in community owned forests.
Just last November, LandMark, the "global platform of Indigenous and community lands," made a groundbreaking effort to place data about community owned and indigenous owned land into a map. In that online interactive map, LandMark is gradually revealing which areas of the Earth's surface are held by Indigenous Peoples, whether or not the land is formally recognized by a state, or if it is in the process of being recognized. Its features also enable users to see the percentage of a country's total land area, and what amount is held by Indigenous Peoples, as well as the strength of their legal claims to such lands.
This data stands in sharp contrast to how we typically think of land and territory. The international agenda with regards to climate change assumes that actors, priorities, and solutions are effectively negotiated and implemented by approaching the issue from the perspective of nation-states. For example, interests are defined in terms of a country's needs: what are India's needs, or what are obstacles to American cooperation? These needs are then augmented into macro-level concerns that reinforce the nation-state mentality: the European approach to climate change might involve one set of actions, while vulnerable members of the global south have a different set of needs. Not only does this kind of rhetoric reinforce the idea of the nation-state, but it also strengthens the very needs of the nation-state, which are almost always economic in nature.
The "global south" is not just a geographic term; it carries with it connotations that this group of countries is less economically developed, making their needs at the international policy level "different" than those who are already industrialized and therefore more economically empowered to make reductions in carbon emissions. In dividing needs, interests, actors, and policy objectives along these lines, the global community leaves little room for non-state actors to effectively argue for non-economic interests, including interests in climate change mitigation and reversal. This line of thinking also assumes that Indigenous Peoples' needs are sufficiently represented by nation states, or ignores the fact that they are not.
This system of international policy making disempowers Indigenous Peoples in a variety of political arenas, but especially in matters of climate change. International state actors discuss climate change in terms of reductions in economic development, environmental devastation, and disaster management, which are linked to financial costs. Indigenous Peoples are similarly concerned with environmental devastation and disaster management, but these issues are part of a larger problem in which their ways of life are threatened. Traditional knowledge and ways of life cannot necessarily be recovered in another geographic area, and certainly not through other strengths of the global economic market. Nor, for that matter, can they be secured through the UN's Sustainable Development Goals(SDGs).
LandMark's map allows us to understand indigenous and community land rights in the context of nation-state boundaries. In looking at a map that indicates which percentage of these lands are adequately protected, we can better understand how the interests politicians pursue at the international level do not match up geographically with the Earth's reality. To return to the statistic first introduced in this article, 65 percent of the Earth's land area is held by Indigenous Peoples communities and nations. Put another way, 65 percent of the Earth is arguably inadequately and unfairly represented by those with the power to decide policies that affect all of us. How can a country that protects only 5 percent of indigenous lands fairly claim to represent the needs of those people?
This matters, because Indigenous Peoples are powerful stakeholders and advocates in the fight against climate change. As studies by the World Resources Institute show, communities around the world have official or legal rights to a minimum of 513 million hectares of forests (one-eighth of the world's total, which equates to 37.7 billion tonnes of carbon). These areas see far lower decimation of the trees and plant life that help to mitigate carbon emissions elsewhere in the world. The picture below of indigenous land boundaries in Brazil illustrates the clear difference in land that is managed and legally controlled by Indigenous Peoples versus land that is subject to economic interests and government control.
In order to effectively empower Indigenous Peoples to be advocates for the environment and allies in the struggle to combat climate change, governments need to protect their rights to the land without providing oil, gas, and mining concessions. Indigenous Peoples need to have secure community-based rights with longevity; further studies show that concession rights and individual titles lead to community fragmentation and insufficiently protect the people and lands that they manage. But these efforts are only effective at the national level; thus, the international community needs to be made aware of how powerful an impact Indigenous Peoples have on mitigating climate change. The international community also needs to understand and respond to the gap in negotiation and policy making: that is, it needs to evolve to include a space for Indigenous Peoples to advocate for their needs and contribute to solutions. This means structuring policy making in non-national terms, and pushing for non-state actors and members of civil society to become meaningful participants in the process.

Jagan Can't Sell His House & Properties
In a fresh development, the Enforcement Directorate has attached YS Jagan Mohan Reddy's house in Lotus Pond and Jagan's bungalow in Bangalore along with his several other key properties including Minister's Commercial Building in Bangalore. All the properties of Bharati Cement were also attached by the ED. As per the charge-sheet filed in the misdeeds in Bharati Cement, ED has done a complete inquiry and confirmed that Jagan's involvement in several wrong doings and booked Money Laundering case against him.
ED clearly stated that Rs 152 Crore worth limestone material was allotted to Bharati Cement during former CM YSR's regime against the rules and norms. It further stated that these assets would belong to public.
The national law enforcement agency has also attached the shares of Jagan, Bharati in several companies. Jagan has around 2.58 Lakh shares in Silicon Builders on his name and 88,000 shares in a firm called Classic Reality. The shares are estimated to have value of Rs 1.5 Crore. Jagan's shares in Sandur Power estimated at Rs 1.66 Crore were also attached by the ED. Jagan's five plots in Hakeempet and 9680 Gajas residence plot in Rajendra Nagar were also among the attached properties in the long list of assets attached by the ED.
As per government valuation, the assets would be 749 Crore including immovable assets worth of Rs 404.72 Crore and movable assets worth of Rs 344.28 Crores. In the open market the valuation would be over Rs 5000 Crore.
However, this is not first-time, Jagan's assets were attached by the ED. In the first move, it had attached 200 Crores worth assets of Jagan. In the second move, ED attached 43 Crores worth properties of Jagan. As part of its third move, ED attached 225 Crore worth properties. In the latest move, ED attached Rs 750 Crore assets as per government valuation.
ED earlier attached Jagati Media Publications (Sakshi) properties. But it allowed the firm to have its daily operations. As per the attachment, Jagan can't sell the properties or its shares and status quo would be maintained. So far, ED has attached Jagan's properties for four times including the latest attachment on Wednesday.
Though the latest attachment too is temporary, it's considered as major embarrassment for the leader of Opposition of AP given that his bungalows too were attached by the ED. Looks like, more trouble is in store for Jagan Reddy.

Will PlayStation and Xbox Continue to Cater to the Mobile Market?
A surprising development within the gaming industry that has shocked millions across the globe is that of Playstation's and Xbox's diligent effort to cater to mobiles. Such a thing would have seemed incredibly strange in times past; but now, almost all of the biggest names in the gaming industry look towards the mobile gaming industry without exception.
Well, why is this? Surprisingly, the answer is not going to be as far-fetched as you may think. In this article, we will be taking a look at whether or not Playstation and Xbox will continue to cater to the mobile gaming community, as well as discussing why it is that major console/game manufacturers are flocking to the mobile industry in droves. Let's jump right into it.
Mobile Is The Most Popular Gaming Platform
Most people know that mobile gaming is extremely popular, but few know just how far this goes. The mobile gaming industry has a whopping market share of just under 50 percent of the entire gaming industry, something which is truly massive when you factor in just how popular gaming is in general.
This means that console manufacturers are missing out on a huge audience base by skipping out on the mobile industry, and pushing such a large portion of the market to the wayside is not going to be the most strategic decision. This has a plethora of implications, all of which lead back to both Xbox and Playstation catering to the mobile industry for years to come.
Just about every form of media caters to the mobile gaming industry now – The Casumo live casino offers monopoly on their mobile-friendly site, Netflix, Amazon Prime, and most of the major streaming services have a dedicated phone app, and almost every game imaginable now has its own phone variant.
It would be incredibly counterproductive for Xbox and Playstation to leave out the mobile market entirely, and because of everything we have said thus far, it is almost guaranteed that we are going to see them support the mobile industry for the foreseeable future.
Inexpensive to Create & High Profitability
As you would expect from having such a high market share, the mobile gaming industry is unbelievably profitable. On top of this, catering to mobile is often not all too expensive – most console manufacturers usually just give mobile players a way to play their games that they have already released.
This means expenses are minimal whilst profits remain limitless, and jumping into the mobile market has proven to be incredibly lucrative time-and-time again. It would be illogical for Playstation and Xbox to miss out on so much revenue when you consider how little effort they would have to put in in return, and this is precisely why we are going to see both of them supporting the mobile industry indefinitely.
The mobile market is just too lucrative to stay away from, and as things are looking now, this is only going to continue to remain the case for as long as mobile gaming is around.
To bring things back full circle; yes. Playstation and Xbox are both likely going to cater to the mobile market for the foreseeable future, and unless anything changes, we may even begin to see them put an increasing emphasis on the mobile industry going into the future.
When you factor in just how profitable the mobile gaming industry is, this comes as absolutely no surprise. After all; both Xbox and Playstation are just businesses, and they are always going to go the route that bears the best fruit. Catch you in the next one.

The issue comes in discovering precisely what that means; we have so many notions that keep us from living in the present moment, from becoming content and peaceful inside.
Oil painting is a fairly new form of art. It is the process of painting with pigments that are bound together with a medium of drying oil, particularly linseed oil in early modern Europe.

It is a simple act, writing a note, but one that can have profound implications – especially when the subject is gratitude. And in our digital world, a handwritten thank-you note seems to establish a human connection.
The practice is a hallmark of three CEOs, each of whom sees gratitude as a way of doing business. Here they share why (and how) they make handwritten thank you notes as part of their everyday leadership style.
In order to care for the more than half a million patients each year, Children's Healthcare of Atlanta (CHOA) employs 10,000 people. And while thanking each one of them in person for the selfless work they do is nearly impossible, CEO Donna Hyland does what she can.
Hyland manages the process by categorizing the recipients: Significant employee anniversaries, special celebrations, CHOA award winners and anyone who leaves Children's after 15 or more years of service. "I want them to know that I knew they were here and wished them the very best as they move on." She writes to doctors and nurses when they perform an exceptional service.
There is no block of time in her schedule set aside for notes; instead, she writes a few at a time when she can and says the most meaningful notes originate with letters she receives from parents of the hospital's young patients.
Frank Blake learned the art of writing notes from one of America's masters of the practice, President George H.W. Bush. He served as Deputy Counsel when Bush was Vice President.
When Blake became CEO of The Home Depot in 2007, he established a process for writing notes: regional and district managers sent him recommendations of store associates whose work or service deserved recognition. Blake spent a half-day or more each weekend writing notes by hand – and was inspired by what he learned.
It is important, he added, to be specific in the notes. And they don't have to be long – most of his are two or three sentences and usually cover only the front of a monogrammed card.
For Dan Cathy, expressing gratitude to others – in notes, emails, texts or in person – is simply a way of life he learned from his father, who founded the Chick-fil-A company.
Cathy likes to say that he has spent his entire life at the company his father, S. Truett Cathy, built on the premise that the business is as much about people as it is chicken.
And in the 50 years since Cathy's father started the business, the company has grown quite a bit – to more than 2,000 restaurants. Cathy often tells people that regardless of his title, he really works in customer service, an attitude that reflects the family's value of providing a great dining experience for every customer.
Cathy often sends handwritten notes – "the most preferred method and the most personal way to express appreciation in written form" – to restaurant Operators, team members and staff who have done something special or noteworthy while at work or in the community.
Gratitude is a core value at Chick-fil-A, Cathy says.

Costs of Prosecution
Did you know that if the Office of the State Attorney incurs investigative costs, then the prosecutor can request that those costs be paid by the defendant, as "costs of prosecution"?
The term "state attorney's fees" is not included in the term "costs of prosecution" as defined by Section 938.27, F.S. See Weeks v. State, 659 So.2d 695 (Fla. 4th DCA 1995), rev. den., 666 So. 2d 145 (Fla. 1995); Mickler v. State, 682 So.2d 607 (Fla. 2d DCA, 1996).
When the defendant is "convicted" of a crime, the court imposes court costs, even in a violation of probation (VOP) case or violation of community control (VOCC) case. The term "court costs" includes costs for the state attorney and costs of prosecution.
Under Section 985.032, F.S., costs of prosecution are assessed as provided in s. 938.27, F.S., for any juvenile who has had adjudication of delinquency withheld or who has been adjudicated delinquent.
If the defendant agrees to pay these statutory costs as part of a plea agreement, the court is still required to impose the costs as the statutory procedures require. Tolbert v. State, 698 So.2d 1288 (1997). In fact, Section 938.27(1), F.S., requires a law enforcement agency or other listed agency to request the payment of investigative costs and provide supporting documentation.
Under Section 938.27(1), F.S., the term "costs of prosecution" might include the investigative costs incurred by law enforcement agencies, by fire departments for arson investigations, and by investigations of the Department of Financial Services or the Office of Financial Regulation of the Financial Services Commission, if requested by such agencies.
Section 938.27(8), F.S., provides that costs for the State Attorney's Office must be set in all cases at no less than $50 per case for a misdemeanor or criminal traffic offense and no less than $100 per case for a felony offense.
The costs are also assessable in a proceeding in which the underlying offense is a violation of probation or community control. The court may set a higher amount upon a showing of sufficient proof of higher costs incurred.
For purposes of determining when costs are imposed, the word convicted is defined under Section 938.27(1), (8), F.S., to mean a determination of guilt, or of violation of probation or community control, which is a result of a plea, trial, or violation proceeding, regardless of whether adjudication is withheld.
Hearings on the Cost of Prosecution
What happens when the defendant disputes the proper amount or type of costs? That dispute over the costs to be imposed is resolved by the court using the preponderance of the evidence standard.
At a hearing on the issue of costs, the burden of demonstrating the amount of costs incurred is on the prosecutor with the State Attorney's Office. On the other hand, the burden is on the defendant to demonstrate his or her financial resources and financial needs.
The money recovered on behalf of the state attorney must be deposited into the State Attorneys Revenue Trust Fund. The funds must be used during the fiscal year in which the funds are collected or in any subsequent fiscal year. The funds must be used for actual expenses incurred in investigating and prosecuting criminal cases, which may include the salaries of permanent employees, or for any other purpose authorized by the Florida Legislature.
Using Cost of Prosecution During Plea Negotiations
According to a BILL ANALYSIS AND FISCAL IMPACT STATEMENT for 2020 CS/SB 846 prepared by the Professional Staff of the Appropriations Subcommittee on Criminal and Civil Justice at the Florida Senate, Section 938.27, F.S., did not originally prohibit the state attorney and the defense counsel from presenting a negotiated plea agreement to the court containing costs for the state attorney in amounts greater than the current minimum.
As a result, the prosecutor and criminal defense attorneys sometimes use excessive costs as a bargaining chip during plea negotiations. 2020 CS/SB 846 was introduced by the Criminal Justice Committee and Senator Simmons on January 27, 2020, to discourage that practice. On March 14, 2020, however, the bill died in the Appropriations Subcommittee on Criminal and Civil Justice.

Home » Sport » Chelsea legend John Terry helped shape West Ham starlet Declan Rice's career with incredible 45-minute phone call
DECLAN RICE revealed how a phone call from Chelsea legend John Terry during his darkest moment helped turn him into one of the best midfielders in the Premier League.
The West Ham star, 22, has put himself back on the Blues' radar with a string of impressive performances at the London Stadium – which have also earned him international recognition.
But things looked bleak for the England international in 2014 when he was given the boot by the Blues after having trained with them as a schoolboy.
And in the crestfallen teenager's moment of need, club legend Terry reached out to the future star who had idolised him as a child.
Rice told the Times in 2018: "John would speak to the parents and take his time to get to know young players and families. For a club captain to do that is quality.
"I based my whole game on John when I was younger. When I was released by Chelsea he called for 45 minutes and I remember I was sat in my room next to my dad.
"It was John Terry – I could not believe it.
"He handed over all his experience and advice. He said to never stop, always keep working hard and give everything you have.

"It stayed in my head, and look where I am now. No dream is far away.
"I last met John for a two-hour breakfast with my cousin about six months ago. Sometimes I text him, like when he retired and he replied 'Thanks mate, it is your time now.'"
Rice finally got his chance after impressing during a trial at West Ham, and is now skipper of David Moyes' side.
The former Chelsea academy star's displays for the east Londoners have seen him become a perennial starter for Gareth Southgate's England side.
In just three years, Rice has made 25 appearances for the Three Lions and scored two goals.
Rice's dominance in the heart of the Hammers' midfield has also seen him attack the interest of Chelsea's Premier League title rivals.
Both Manchester City and Manchester United are understood to be interested in acquiring his services, which would cost him a minimum of £80million.

The question is, what's the best way to fix it?
Because myQuestionFun() is a function of the abstract method of the parent class, I can't move it.

A: Extract following code as a method from Child into the Father:
protected List<TableInfo> getTabList() {
    final List<TableInfo> tabList = new ArrayList<TableInfo>();
    for (int i=0; dataModel.getDataList().size(); i++) {
            Report rep = (Report) dataModel.getDataList.get(i);
            TableInfo tabInfo = new TableInfo();
            tabInfo.setId(rep.getId());
            tabInfo.setName(rep.getName());
            tabList.add(tabInfo);
    }
    return tabList;
}

Move following method to Father, if it is ALWAYS supposed to return this.dataModel :
public DataModel<Report> getDataModel(){
   return this.dataModel;
}

A: Remove dataModel field form Father and change in into an interface.

Q: Solving the 1-D diffusion equation For the equation $$u_t = Du_x$$
where $D$ is a diffusion constant, we can define the system
$$u_x=v$$$$u_t=Dv_x$$
However, how does one solve for $v$? $\frac{\partial u}{\partial x}=v \iff {\partial u}=v{\partial x}$, but how do we integrate $v(x,t)$ then?

A: Hint: You can solve this by the Method of characteristics
Assume $u(s)=u(x(s),t(s))$ and differentiate with respect to $s$ and use the chain rule:
$$\dfrac{du}{ds}=\dfrac{\partial u}{\partial x}\dfrac{dx}{ds}+\dfrac{\partial u}{\partial t}\dfrac{dt}{ds}.$$
Compare the coefficients to get 3 ordinary differential equations:
$\dfrac{du}{ds}=0$, $\dfrac{dx}{ds}=-D$ and $\dfrac{dt}{ds}=1$. Can you complete it from here?

A: There is a contradiction in the wording of the question :

If we ignore the contradiction, the solution is easy to find thanks to various methods , for example with the method of characteristics :
$u_t-Du_x=0\quad\to\quad$ The characteristic equation is : $\frac{dt}{1}=\frac{dx}{-D}=\frac{du}{0}$
From $Ddt+dx=0$ , a characteristic curve is : $Dt+x=c_1$
$ \begin{cases}u=F(c_1)\\du=0\end{cases}$ on the characteristic curve. Hense :
$$u(x,t)=F(Dt+x)\quad \text{any differentiable function} F$$


A cotton over-the-shoulder bag from Nepal that measure 10 inches tall and 12 inches wide. The outside of these bags have two pockets that are good for holding change or some "mad money" or concert tickets or??? While the pockets on the outside flap are a bit over 4 inches wide, the mouths to those pockets are not wide enough to put a cell phone inside them. Not to worry; just lift up the outer flap and there are two large zippered compartments to keep all your mojo in. And finally, there is a side pocket that is 5 and 1/2 inches tall by 3 inches wide and has a velcro flap.


The Book Selection Committee for the New Student Book seeks nominations of potential books. The New Student Book invites all students new to UMBC in the fall (freshmen and transfer students) to read the selected book and engage in formal and informal discussion of the book at the start of the school year. Any member of the UMBC community may nominate any book via the web or via e-mail containing the same information. More than one nomination may be submitted by the same person.
Relatively short; books of fewer than 325 pages have an advantage in the selection process.
Recognizing that all good texts raise issues, the new book experience does not seek out texts likely to be overtly offensive to a significant portion of the university community.
Forward e-mail submissions to dfick1@umbc.edu.
Nominations for the current selection is now closed.


A herniated disc, also called slipped disc or ruptured disc, is a condition caused from wear and tear of the cushioning discs present between the bones of the vertebral column. These discs act as shock absorbers while walking or running and are made up of an outer tough layer (annulus) that surrounds a jelly-like centre (nucleus). Disc herniation occurs when a part of the disc nucleus is pushed beyond the annulus through a rupture or tear. This displaced nucleus extends into the spinal canal, which passes through the entire vertebral column, and inflames and presses against the spinal nerves, causing pain.
Any part of the spine can be affected by a herniated disc, but it is most common in the lower back (lumbar spine).
In rare instances, patients can experience loss of bowel or bladder control from a condition called cauda equina syndrome. This condition can occur when a nerve at the lower end of the spinal cord is compressed and is a medical emergency.
Your doctor will suggest conservative therapies as the first course of treating the herniated disc including prescribing medications, and referral to a therapist.
Your therapist will teach you exercises to strengthen your back and stomach muscles. Heat or ice therapy or neck or lower back bracing may also be recommended.
Your doctor may also recommend steroid injections into the space surrounding the spinal cord to reduce inflammation.
Conservative treatment works for many, usually getting them back on their feet in a month or two.
Your doctor may suggest surgery based on your presentation as well as your response to conservative treatment measures. Some of the surgical procedures may include microdiscectomy, open discectomy, and prosthetic intervertebral disc replacement. The surgeries will be performed under spinal or general anaesthesia.


We want to take this opportunity to thank you for living with us. We hope you enjoyed the experience of calling one of our apartments your home.
All of our leases end July 31st. Under a lease, you must turn in a NOTICE OF NONRENEWAL FORM at least 30 days before your July 31st termination date, to keep your existing lease from automatically renewing for another year. All terms of your lease must be met. In the event that you have to move before your lease expires, please see the Leaving Early Options page under Info for Residents.
When you vacate your unit, we do expect you to leave the apartment as clean as when you came. Please lock all windows and doors on your last day and drop off the keys to our office. Please make sure the keys are identified as belonging to your apartment before dropping them off, especially if you are putting them through the mail slot in our office front door. Once we receive your keys we will come and make the move-out inspection.
PLEASE MOVE OUT ONLY THROUGH THE REAR ENTRANCE OF THE BUILDING AS IS REQUIRED BY YOUR LEASE. We try to keep our front halls looking nice and moving out the back really does help.
Also, you should contact all utilities which are NOT included in your rent and notify them of your move-out date.
*Please note: You can NOT shut off utilities between November 1st and March 31st (If we have a sudden freeze it could break water pipes if the heat is turned off).
