What a Horror: Facebook's Libra "Currency" to Launch Next Year
Home Financial news What a Horror: Facebook's Libra "Currency" to Launch Next Year
Via Economic Policy Journal
The long-awaited Facebook-led digital currency Libra is preparing to launch as early as January, reports the Financial Times.
Libra's exact launch date will depend on when the project receives approval to operate as a payments service from the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority, but could come as early as January, according to the paper.
"I can see the new Libra working as an ordinary, regulated payments processor — PayPal, but it's Facebook." David Gerard, a historian of digital currencies and author of Attack of the 50-foot Blockchain, has said.
Of note, Libra isn't actually a single digital currency. It plans to launch a series of different digital coins, each backed by a different government currency one for one. It will also build a Libra coin that is a "digital composite" of some of those coins, which will be available for cross-border transactions and in countries with no digital currency.
Its coins will fluctuate according to what is happening in the markets for physical currencies.
In other words, it is less a new "currency" and more several electronic warehouse receipts for different currencies and one for a basket of currencies but with a serious kicker. It will be easy to monitor spending and other activities and actually prevent some transactions.
Dante Disparte, Libra vice-chairman, told the Financial Times that the coin's digital nature might even make it easier to monitor than a physical currency. "There are certain things you could do with a blockchain payment system [like Libra's] that you cannot with alternatives, such as geofencing politically sanctioned countries, blocking suspicious addresses, identifying suspicious activity in [close to] real time," he said.
This means that perhaps down the road, it will have the potential and may block anti-"social justice" spending or politically incorrect spending.
What a privacy and censorship horror!

Radikal 91 mit der Bedeutung "Scheibe, Platte, Brett" ist eines von 34 der 214 traditionellen Radikale der chinesischen Schrift, die mit vier Strichen geschrieben werden.

Mit 10 Zeichenverbindungen in Mathews' Chinese-English Dictionary gibt es sehr wenige Schriftzeichen, die unter diesem Radikal im Lexikon zu finden sind.

Das Radikal "Platte" nimmt nur in der Langzeichen-Liste traditioneller Radikale, die aus 214 Radikalen besteht, die 91. Position ein. In modernen Kurzzeichen-Wörterbüchern kann es sich an ganz anderer Stelle finden. Im Neuen chinesisch-deutschen Wörterbuch aus der Volksrepublik China steht es zum Beispiel an 114. Stelle.

Die Siegelschrift-Form zeigt einen vertikal geteilten Baum, dessen rechte Hälfte dem Zeichen seine Bedeutung gibt. Holzplättchen dienten in China früher als Material, auf dem geschrieben wurde. Viele ausgegrabene alte Schriften bestehen aus längs gespaltenen Bambus-Röhren, auf deren Außenseite von oben nach unten die Texte geschrieben wurden.
 (pian) stellt seine Zeichen daher in den Sinnzusammenhang von Druckplatte und Schriftträger, wie zum Beispiel in  (pai = Schild, auch in 招牌 zhaopai = Aushängeschild),  (die = Urkunden),  (= hölzernes Schreibtäfelchen) und 版本 (banben = Auflage eines Buches).

Homicide detectives were investigating the death of a man whose body was found down an embankment in the Santa Monica Mountains on Friday, officials said.
A passerby called authorities around 11:30 a.m. to report seeing the body off the side of the 24000 block of Piuma Road, in an unincorporated area of Los Angeles County above Malibu, Sheriff's Lt. Scott Hoglund said.
Deputies met the caller at the scene and found a corpse about 20 to 25 feet down an embankment, according to Hoglund.
The man was pronounced dead at the scene.
"It appeared the individual was in early decomposition," Hoglund said.
Investigators are now working to piece together whether the man died of natural causes or if he was killed. Although homicide detectives were on the case, Hoglund said it was "just too early to tell."
"At this point everything's up in the air," he said. "We don't know what the situation is."
Malibu Search and Rescue officials were responding to the scene to assist investigators in recovering the remains and processing the scene, which involved rugged terrain.
No further details were available.

We have a new name and we are very excited about the changes to The Koolest Women. Why the "make-over"? Well, we realized that we wanted all women, not just those who are parents, to be a part of our circle. Whether we have kids or not, we all share the interest in finding what makes us feel confident, relevant and chic as we get older and wiser. This desire is not exclusive to moms and we know that embracing this new stage of our life together will make it so much better.
If you follow your celebrity gossip (no shame here), you may have read a recent interview in InStyle with our style crush Jennifer Aniston - titled "Jennifer Aniston is doing just fine". We know the press loves to obsess on her love life (or lack thereof) and her baby bump (or lack thereof). For whatever reason, she has chosen not to have children. She is a woman of power and means, so presumably if she wanted to have kids, she would have. So, what did Miss Aniston say that impressed us so much?
We salute her and however she chooses to live her life.
We also salute her style and can't get enough of her simple, yet chic look – it's power dressing to the core.

The 37th UNESCO conference has so far examined and listed 19 new world heritage sites, a little more than half the sites requested, as it moves to its final day Thursday.
Of the 19 sites, chosen from 30 that received nominations for consideration, five are natural properties and the other 14 are cultural properties, said Deputy Prime Minister Sok An, chairman of the 37th World Heritage Committee.
Chosen sites include eight from the Asia-Pacific region, seven from Europe, two from Africa, one from Latin America and the Caribbean, and one from the Middle East.

REDHAWKS WIN: Rhea attempted one last assist, this time to Kerfoot for a three-pointer in the waning seconds. She missed, but the Redhawks would have been short of a comeback, anyway, losing 66-62. Rhea led with 16 points and nine rebounds while Sowell added 15 points and 13 boards, doing some dirty work in the paint. SU was once down by 20 points, so the comeback was valiant. Still the correctable mistakes early will eat at them Sunday night. SU allowed 34 points off 25 turnovers and shot 29.2 percent in the opening half. UCD was led by Meggison's 18 points, three players ending in double figures for them. They were outrebounded 46-29, 18-8 on the offensive glass. But composure late pulled out a sweep of the Seattle programs for UC Davis. And this time UCD didn't throw a party, knowing it can hang.
OUT: Sowell fouled out with the Redhawks scrapping back. They're down 64-62 with 8.2 left. Meggison made both ensuing FTs, though.
MISSED CHANCES: An open layin by Sylvia Shepard and airball three-pointers by Rhea and Kerfoot may put an end to this game. SU down 62-56 with 30.9 left in the game.
OUT: Riecks fouled out and SU is in the double-bonus. SU is 7-for-12 from the line. UCD leads 60-49.
BACK AT YOU: Stephens, a junior, is showing steady leadership and pose to help her team regain control of the game. She's scored seven of the Aggies' 9-0 run to pull ahead 58-49 with 6:22 left in the game. Players are starting to gasp more, but the pace of the game remains fast.
CREEPING: The Redhawks remain on the attack, pulling moves faster than the dance squad as it creeps within 49-43 with 9:25 on the clock. Teammates talked about how Rhea was a great passer and fans are seeing it Sunday, the senior behind every score. The SU defense is also forcing UCD into turnovers to stop its scoring.
PARTY OV'RHEA: OK, SU is unpredictable, especially sine the Redhawks never give up and play good defense (Bonvicini pulled out a full-court press). Rhea added some offense, hitting a NBA three-pointer and nice layin off her own steal to close the once massive deficit to 47-37 with 11:46 left in the game. SU also forced a turnover, which can keep the momentum going. Suddenly what once look impossible seems probable.
NO, IT'S NOT: SU's offense is sputting, again. Coupled with turnovers, the deficit may be too much to overcome no matter how many shots Uc Davis also misses. Dillard-Brown nailed a trey and SU is down 47-31 with 13:26 left in the game. SU continues to fight, its best attribute.
IT'S ALIVE: SU's offense is starting to show some life, Rhea hitting a three-pointer and finding Sowell open inside for a layin to cut the deficit to 38-23 with 16:59 on the clock.
SPOTTED: Washington Gs Mercedes Wetmore and Amanda Johnson are in the house.
HALFTIME: The Aggies scored one FG in the final 6:07 of the opening half, but the Redhawks couldn't make a real dent on the lead, trailing 31-16 headed into the break. Three reasons why, SU has allowed 19 points off its 16 turnovers, the team is 0-for-11 from the three-point line and Rhea isn't looking for her shot — taking two attempts in the first half. Sowell leads the Redhawks with eight points while Shinoda leads the AGgies with eight points. The SU defense did help the team stifle UCD. And the Redhawks are fighting harder on offense to get attempts off. The hope is the ball dropping in the net in the second half, however.
CASHING IN: Two turnovers off Brown have led to scores by the Aggies. French nailed another three-pointer while Meggison took the ball coast-to-coast for a layin. UC Davis leads 25-9 with 7:21 left in the game. The Redhawks are making their shots (26.7 percent) or finding it hard to see passing lanes against the Aggies' aggressive defense. UCD is playing with even more pep than Friday. Gross and Bonvicini are using a big rotation of nine players to keep the pace fast.
WHEW: Both teams just played an extended stretch with no whistle or timeout, UCD up 14-7 with 13:49 on the clock behind back-to-back three-pointers from Cortney French. The Redhawks are trying to get the ball inside, but the soft passes are getting picked off by the Aggies. UC Davis is moving the ball well, to find the outside shot. Bonvicini made substitutions, we'll see if adjustments are made.
JUICED: UC Davis has started where it left off on Friday, Shinoda nailing a three-pointer and its "buzz" defense frustrating Seattle U. The Aggies lead 3-0 with 18-28 on the clock.
CONGRATS: The officials are making their rounds, shaking hands with the coaches. They've added a congratulations to UCD coach Jennifer Gross for the win against Washington. In a totally unrelated big congrats, former UCLA coach Nikki Caldwell is expecting her first child. She's dating a former Oakland Raider.
SCOREBOARD: Washington State defeated UNC-Wilmington 72-60 in its second game of the Lady Lion Classic in State College, Penn. Trailing by three in the first-ever meeting with the Seahawks, the Cougs outscored UNCW 42-27 in the second half for the win. C Carly Noyes led with 16 points.
It's a drastically different environment for UC Davis on Sunday, in the approximate 1,000-seat Connolly Center to face Seattle University. The Aggies scheduled two games in the city, playing Washington at the 10,000-seat Edmundson Pavilion on Friday. It was a successful matinee, booked last minute to help UW complete its schedule.
A smaller crowd is currently at Connolly, getting ready for both team's second game of the young season. SU defeated UC Santa Barbara behind senior Talisa Rhea's 20 points and 12 boards on Friday. UC Davis upset UW behind 12 points from PG Hana Asano, who also finds herself doing the center-jump at 5-foot-6.
No worries. The Aggies use three-pointers and a stingy zone defense to compensate for its size disadvantages. Its bigs, Emily Vann (6-1) and Lauren Juric (6-2) are all out due to injuries.
The Redhawks can hit the three, too, Rhea nailing three to get SU going on Friday.
Tonight's officials are Wanda Szeremeta, Jim Morrell, and Michelle Russi.

A Chacarron Macarron (néha csak "Chacarron"-nak rövidítik) egy spanyol nyelvre hasonlító halandzsaszövegű dal 2005-ből.

A zene Rodney Clark panamai előadótól (más néven El Chombo) és Andy De La Cruztól (más néven Andy Val Gourmet) származik.  Szövege néhol halandzsának hangozhat. A dal nagy ismeretséget szerzett az interneten szövege és különös videóklipje miatt (ami zenéjében és képi világában is hasonlít Will Smith Gettin' Jiggy Wit It című klipjéhez).

Sok weboldalon (például a YTMND-n) tettek közzé humoros videókat változatos figurákkal, mint például táncoló birodalmi rohamosztagosok (a Csillagok háborújából), Batman, Mario, Shrek vagy Yoko a The Grudge-ból. A legtöbb híres YTMND a Chacarron Macarront használja, a hangsáv neve "Ualuealuealeuale".

A BBC Rádión egy DJ, Scott Millis 2006. október 30-án kampányba kezdett, hogy a dal az első legyen a brit kislemezlistán. Egy linket rakott a BBC weboldalára, ami a videóra mutatott a YouTube-on. A dal nem érte el az első helyet, de a huszadikat igen.

Title 24 (California) and IECC define the daylit zone as: A region of space considered to be close to a source of daylight such as window, clerestory, roof monitor or skylight, where luminaires can be dimmed or switched in response to available daylight. It is classified as primary sidelit daylit zone; secondary sidelit daylit zone; and skylit daylit zone. The lights in the daylit zones shall have automatic daylighting controls, which shall provide functional multi-level lighting levels having at least the number of control steps specified in the code. For example, for LED lights, the requires continuous dimming from 10-100%.
Currently, the designer has to use 0-10VDC dimmable lighting fixtures, 0-10VDC dimmer and controllers for daylit zone. All the components are different from other areas, which makes the construction management difficult. There must be two set of wirings: one is 0-10VDC low voltage wiring and the other is 120VAC power wiring, which dramatically adds the construction cost.
Our devices are patented and UL listed. The daylit control system is composed of three components: the dimmer, the sensor and the controller. Unlike the 0-10VDC dimmer, our dimmer can power the lights directly. It has AC power input and it uses CAT5 cables to communicate with the controller. The controller and the sensor are all low voltage devices and connected to the dimmer by CAT5 cables for communication. Therefore, the system separates the power and control; power wires are the same as that using regular switches; control wires are CAT5 cables and not feeders UL listed for high voltage. In addition, the system works with 2-wire dimmable lights. Thus, it will save your labor and material cost to make your project title 24 or IECC compliant.
The approximate cost of our system is $319.

Shocking sentence
Emma Wallis
Six scientists have been sentenced for failing to warn L'Aquila residents of the devastating 2009 earthquake. But are they simply scapegoats? Should science be put on trial for the failure to predict a natural disaster?
https://p.dw.com/p/16V8e
The L'Aquila earthquake struck on April 6, 2009, with a magnitude of 6.3. The quake, which killed 309 people and devastated the small medieval town, was the biggest in a series of tremors that had been shaking the mountainous region of Abruzzo in central Italy for months.
An earlier earthquake, magnitude four, at the end of March 2009, brought the members of the Major Risks committee together to assess the risk to residents of the region, and whether or not a mass evacuation needed to be undertaken.
Six members of that committee, all eminent scientists and seismologists, as well as an ex-government official, Bernardo De Bernadinis, were put on trial in an attempt to determine who was responsible for the deaths and destruction caused by the earthquake.
Victims could now be entitled to compensation paymentsImage: AP
On Monday, a little over a year after the trial began, presiding judge Marco Billi took just over four hours to deliver a sentence condemning the seven men to six years in prison, the interdiction to hold any future public office and the payment of extensive damages to the victims of the earthquake and their families.
The seven were found guilty of multiple manslaughter, after having been accused of giving "falsely reassuring messages" to the population prior to the quake in April. Witnesses in the trial claimed that their relatives chose not to leave their houses before the quake struck because they were reassured by the committee that a bigger quake was unlikely, although not impossible.
One of the scientists, Enzo Boschi, a seismologist and formerly director of the Italian National Institute for Geophysics and Vulcanology, said that he was still "confused as to what exactly he'd been condemned of"; speaking to the Italian national newspaper, Corriere Della Sera, he added that he "has always maintained that earthquakes are impossible to predict," and that seismologists were targeted because they were "the weakest link in the chain of command."
Boschi challenged "anyone to find a written or oral statement where I reassured people ahead of the earthquake, because I didn't." Another of the accused, Bernardo De Bernadinis, stated he was "innocent before God and his fellow man," but would accept the final verdict of Italian justice, if it still found him guilty.
'Pure madness'
The scientific community reacted with dismay to the fact that scientists should be put on trial in this manner and held responsible for a disaster that experts agree is impossible to predict.
Five-thousand international scientists signed an open letter to Italian President Giorgio Napolitano, in June 2010 ahead of the trial, stating the following: "It is manifestly unfair for scientists to be criminally charged for failing to act on information that the international scientific community would consider inadequate as a basis for issuing a warning. Moreover, we worry that subjecting scientists to criminal charges for adhering to accepted scientific practices may have a chilling effect on researchers …"
Italian politicians also criticized the sentence. Pier Ferdinando Casini, leader of the centrist UDC party, was quoted in Corriere della Sera as saying: "This sentence spells the end of state justice; it is pure madness." The right wing leader of the Italian upper house, Renato Schifani, also told Corriere that "this is a strange and rather embarrassing sentence. Whoever might be appointed to these kinds of [advisory] roles will no doubt think twice before accepting them in the future."
Ex-Prime Minister Berlusconi stood united with L'Aquila residentsImage: AP
In fact, Luciano Maiani, head of the Major Risks committee, who was only appointed in January, has resigned in protest at the sentence. He said that it was essentially impossible to do his job in this climate. Two of his colleagues are also reported to have resigned alongside him.
Victim compensation
Monday's sentence entitles victims and their families to substantial damages, in some cases up to hundreds of thousands of euros. However, this is just the first stage in the Italian legal process, which, once appealed, will have to go through two higher courts before a final judgment is reached. The process can often lead to the revocation or reduction of the initial judgment. None of the seven are expected to start prison sentences immediately, and their lawyers are currently preparing their appeals.

In the wake of L'Aquila's 2009 earthquake, Italian scientists face charges of manslaughter. In a DW interview, an earthquake researcher worries about the broader implications of this legal case for his field. (22.09.2011)
Disaster body chief quits over L'Aquila ruling
The chief of Italy's disaster committee has quit his post. He left in protest to the sentencing of seven experts for underestimating potential likelihood of a major earthquake that ended up killing hundreds. (23.10.2012)
Italian earthquake survivors are angry as they remember
Inhabitants of the central Italian town of L'Aquila have been remembering their dead, a year after an earthquake hit their town. But they are also angry at the failure of the authorities to rebuild their city. (06.04.2010)

A team led by University of Minnesota Twin Cities researchers has discovered a groundbreaking one-step process for creating materials with unique properties, called metamaterials. Their results show the realistic possibility of designing similar self-assembled structures with the potential of creating "built-to-order" nanostructures for wide application in electronics and optical devices.
The research was published and featured on the cover of Nano Letters, a peer-reviewed scientific journal published by the American Chemical Society.
In general, metamaterials are materials made in the lab so as to provide specific physical, chemical, electrical, and optical properties otherwise impossible to find in naturally occurring materials. These materials can have unique properties which make them ideal for a variety of applications from optical filters and medical devices to aircraft soundproofing and infrastructure monitoring. Usually these nano-scale materials are painstakingly produced in a specialized clean room environment over days and weeks in a multi-step fabrication process.
In this new research, a University of Minnesota team was studying a thin-film material called strontium stannate or SrSnO3. During their research, they noticed the surprising formation of checker-board patterns at the nano scale similar to the metamaterial structures fabricated in the costly, multistep process.
"At first we thought this must be a mistake, but soon realized that the periodic pattern is a mixture of two phases of the same material with different crystal structures" said Bharat Jalan, the senior author of the study and an expert in material synthesis who is the Shell Chair in the University of Minnesota's Department of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science. "After consulting with colleagues at the University of Minnesota, University of Georgia, and City University of New York, we realized that we may have discovered something quite special that can potentially have some unique applications."
The material had spontaneously organized into an ordered structure as it changed from one phase to another. During what is called a "first-order structural phase transition" process, the material moved into a mixed-phase in which some parts of the system completed the transition and others did not.
"These nanoscale periodic patterns are the direct consequence of the first-order structural phase transition in this material," said University of Minnesota aerospace engineering and mechanics Professor Richard James, a co-author of the study and a Distinguished McKnight University Professor. "For the first time, our work enables a host of possibilities for utilizing reversible structural phase transformations with nanoelectronic and photonic systems."
In fact, the team demonstrated a process for the first-ever, self-assembled, tunable nanostructure to create metamaterials in just one step. The researchers were able to tune the ability to store electrical charge property within a single film using temperature and laser wavelength. They effectively created a variable photonic crystal material with 99 percent efficiency.
Using high-resolution electron microscopes, the researchers confirmed the unique structure of the material.
"We observed that the boundaries between these crystallographic phases were sharply defined at the atomic scale, which is remarkable for a self-assembled process," said Professor Andre Mkhoyan, a co-author of the study, an expert in advanced electron microscopy, and the Ray D. and Mary T. Johnson/Mayon Plastics Chair in the Department of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science at the University of Minnesota.
The researchers are now looking to future applications for their discovery in optical and electronic devices.
"When we started this research, we never thought about these applications. We were driven by the fundamental study of the physics of the material," Jalan said. "Now, all of a sudden, we seem to have opened up a completely new area of research, which is driven by the possibility of many new and exciting applications."
In addition to Jalan, the team included University of Minnesota researchers Abhinav Prakash, Ashley Bucsek, Tianqi Wang, Tristan K. Truttmann, Hwanhui Yun, K. Andre Mkhoyan, and Richard James; University of Georgia researchers Alireza Fali and Yohannes Abate; City University of New York researchers Michele Cotrufo and Andrea Alù; and Argonne National Laboratory researchers Jong-Woo Kim and Philip J. Ryan.
The research was primarily funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), and the Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR) with additional support from the University of Minnesota Institute on the Environment, Norwegian Centennial Chair Program, and two Vannevar Bush Faculty Fellowships. Work at the University of Minnesota involving thin film characterization was supported by the U.S. Department of Energy. Parts of the research were carried out at the Minnesota Nano Center and Characterization Facility at the University of Minnesota, funded in part by the National Science Foundation. Additional work was completed at the Advanced Photon Source, an Office of Science User Facility operated for the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science by Argonne National Laboratory.

Biomphalaria sudanica is a species of air-breathing freshwater snail, an aquatic pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Planorbidae, the ram's horn snails.

Distribution
This species is African, and occurs mainly in East Africa:
 Lake Victoria, Kenya, Uganda, (Tanzania)
 Lake Ziway, Ethiopia
 Lake Albert, Uganda. (Lake Albert is between Uganda and Democratic Republic of the Congo)
 Lake Kyoga, Uganda
 13 crater lakes in western Uganda (listed as "Biomphalaria pfeifferi/sudanica" in these crater lakes)

Phylogeny
A cladogram showing the phylogenic relations of species in the genus Biomphalaria:

Ecology
Biomphalaria sudanica is found in shallow water near the shoreline in Lake Albert. Despite being a pulmonate, Biomphalaria sudanica is well adapted to use the oxygen from water (but not as well as Planorbis). This ability is useful for living in swamp habitats.

The population density of Biomphalaria sudanica varies during the year. The highest population density of Biomphalaria sudanica is in Lake Ziway, Ethiopia from June to August, at the end of rainy season.

The higher densities of Biomphalaria sudanica occur in habitats with the Common Water Hyacinth Eichhornia crassipes in Lake Victoria.

It was experimentally detected under laboratory conditions that shells of Biomphalaria sudanica are bigger in waters with higher concentration of calcium than in waters with low calcium.

Parasites
Biomphalaria sudanica is an intermediate host for Schistosoma mansoni and for Schistosoma rodhaini.

Infestation with schistosomes in the Lake Victoria basin is about 1%, but can be up to 50% in the case of Schistosoma mansoni and up to 6% in Schistosoma rodhaini in some localities.

As today is Saint Patrick's Day, I thought it was appropriate for me to write a review of the James Joyce Irish Pub in Prague.
The current James Joyce is actually what used to be Molly Malone's. The original James Joyce was in Liliova Street where on the 5th of November 1993 the first pint of draught Guinness was poured in the Czech Republic. I first visited there in January 1997 and I remember the place was permanently packed with expats, tourists and locals curious to see what the fuss was all about. Sunday roast was an institution. At that time, the only toilets weren't part of the pub and you had to go outside and into a toilet shared by several venues and pay 2Kc to the old lady who worked as an attendant.
The original James Joyce closed in 2006. The owner, Frank, also has another Irish Pub, Caffrey's, so stayed in town. The actual James Joyce bar is still there, although now Czech. When I last visited and needed to visit the toilets, I instinctively left the bar, only to find that they had integrated the toilets and there was a wall where I used to enter.
Back in 1997, Molly Malone's was the quieter Irish Pub. Hidden away, but not far from the Old Town Square, it was a cozy place, with open fire and sewing machines and iron bedsteads for tables. I think at one time the slogan was: Yer at yer Grannies'.
Frank took over Molly's in 2009 and it was renamed the James Joyce soon after. The place is much the same as the old Molly's but with an extra focus on top-shelf Irish Whiskey, pan-Asian curries and is now non-smoking.
The place isn't so quiet now. It can be hard to find a table on some evenings. I think it's been adopted by younger professionals; both expats and locals. The addition of Asian food created by long-time Prague chef, Sofia Smith certainly helps bring in more customers. You can still have the old favourites; Irish Breakfast, Bangers and Mash.
Beer and Guinness, like most of the Irish Pubs in Prague, isn't cheap when compared to Czech bars. And you can find Guinness in quite a few places now.
But if you are looking for the most Irish or the Irish Pubs in Prague and especially if you are a non-smoker, then I'm sure you'll enjoy your visit. I also just read that the James Joyce was voted one of the top ten Irish Pubs in the World outside of Ireland by the Irish Times.

Spring Scrimmage Set for Saturday
The Georgia Tech football team concludes spring practice with its final Spring Scrimmage on Saturday, April 17 at 10:30 a.m. at Bobby Dodd Stadium at Historic Grant Field.
Fan can access Bobby Dodd Stadium via Gate 9 (Techwood Drive) only, and all seating will be in the lower East stands. The gate will open at 9:30 a.m. and admission is free, with concessions on sale. Free parking is available on the lower level of Peters Parking Deck as well as the O'Keefe and Alexander Memorial Coliseum lots.
With Tech returning seven starters on offense and seven on defense, developing depth has been a top priority this spring, particularly at quarterback and on the offensive line, which lost two starters.
At quarterback, starter Reggie Ball, last fall's ACC Rookie of the Year, returns, but the Jackets' depth could be bolstered significantly by a healthy Patrick Carter, a redshirt freshman who was limited by injury last fall.
"If he can stay healthy, he gives us another excellent athlete at that position," said Tech head coach Chan Gailey. "In the last few practices, he's made giant steps."
True freshman quarterback Taylor Bennett has also shown promise, and with Carter taking snaps, senior Mark Logan is able to split time between quarterback and wide receiver.
"Right now he's got a dual role, playing a little bit at quarterback and taking some snaps at wide receiver," Gailey said of Logan. "I don't know where he'll end up. The great thing is that he's versatile enough to be able to help us in a couple of different spots."
On the offensive line, the Jackets have made a couple of changes this spring, most notably moving two-year starter Kyle Wallace from right tackle to the left side and inserting redshirt freshman Kevin Tuminello at center. Guards Andy Tidwell-Neal and Brad Honeycutt return. At the right tackle slot, senior Kenton Johnson and the much-improved junior Salih Besirevic are competing.
"Salih has really improved, and he has probably made the biggest leap of anyone in spring practice, which has been a pleasant surprise," said Gailey.
One of Tech's deepest positions is tailback, where the Jackets return the ACC's leading rusher in junior P.J. Daniels, a first-team all-ACC selection who gained 1,447 yards last fall. Backups Chris Woods, a junior who transferred to Tech from Morris Brown prior to last season, and redshirt freshman Rashaun Grant have been impressive in spring practice.
"They both are running the ball well," said Gailey of the two backups. "Chris Woods has made a big jump this spring. Rashaun Grant can really run the ball, but he's a long way to go on pass protection and knowledge of the system.
In the kicking game, redshirt freshman Travis Bell appears to be the leader to replace Dan Burnett at placekicker, while at punter the competition is between senior Andy Thomson, who split time with Hal Higgins last year, and former track athlete David Smith, who has kicked well this spring.
The Yellow Jackets practice Tuesday and Thursday this week in preparation for Saturday's scrimmage.

I saw the post on the official forums and it sounded interesting, also seemed like a nice guild. Liked the detailed post on forums.
Playing solo is getting a bit boring so thought that it would be nice to find someone to chat with while playing, and do some group content from time to time. These days I'm mostly doing things slowly so mainly looking for a community to have fun with.

Brodies Segafredo Zanetti presented at the London Coffee Festival last week: 4 days of pure coffee bliss where coffee aficionados had the opportunity to experience coffee in all its different forms. A true celebration of coffee, the London Coffee Festival offers a unique and incredibly energetic experience of coffee, music, competitions and fun.
The Brodies Segafredo team presented with great success its full range of Espresso coffees and the limited Filter Edition, specially roasted for the Festival, the Ethiopian Yirgacheffe Abeba and the Peru Café Femenino Lonya Grande; the Ethiopian confirms to be an all-favourite. "Thank you to all our coffee partners that visited us at the Festival. See you next year at #LCF19" says Pilar Braga, Managing Director of Brodies Segafredo Zanetti.


The Office of Inspector General (OIG) at the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) issued an evaluation report to determine the extent to which the FDIC's physical security risk management process met Federal standards and guidelines.
The FDIC employs approximately 6,000 individuals and has about 3,000 contractor personnel who conduct their work at 94 FDIC-owned or leased facilities throughout the country. FDIC facilities house highly sensitive banking and personally identifiable information, mission-critical systems, and valuable equipment. The FDIC must ensure its employees, contractors, resources, and assets are safe and secure.
In 1995, the President issued an Executive Order which created the Interagency Security Committee (ISC). This Committee has issued Government-wide standards, policies, and best practices applicable to all buildings and facilities occupied by Federal employees for non-military activities. The ISC standards provide a structured methodology for helping to ensure the safety of employees, contractors, and facilities by assessing facility risk, assigning facility security levels, and determining whether implemented countermeasures effectively mitigate risk. The FDIC adopted the recommended minimum security standards issued by the ISC for all FDIC facilities where practical.
The FDIC had not developed adequate policies and procedures, quality control standards, training requirements, or record keeping standards. FDIC officials responsible for the Physical Security Program had not emphasized compliance with the ISC standards, and instead placed priority attention on other security initiatives.
The FDIC did not conduct key activities in a timely and thorough manner for determining facility risk level, assessing security protections in the form of countermeasures, and mitigating and accepting risk.
The FDIC did not adequately address countermeasures or track recommendations for minimum security protections. At some facilities, these countermeasures remained outstanding for more than 4 years, and in some cases, the FDIC could not provide the resolution status of recommendations.
In certain instances, the FDIC was not able to provide justification for significant expenditures for countermeasures beyond recommended security protections.
The FDIC had not developed goals and performance measures to help ensure its physical security program was effective.
Our evaluation did not assess the safety of FDIC personnel and its facilities. Nevertheless, without a more robust physical security risk management process, the FDIC cannot be certain that it has taken appropriate and cost-effective measures commensurate with risk and aligned with ISC standards.
We made nine recommendations to address the weaknesses in the FDIC's physical security risk management process; the FDIC concurred with these recommendations. We believe that the planned corrective actions are significant undertakings by the Agency and, once implemented, are likely to achieve important improvements towards the efficiency and effectiveness of its risk management process for physical security.

Home Daily News 2020 taught us one good thing: Celebrities are meaningless
2020 taught us one good thing: Celebrities are meaningless
Maureen Callahan
You know we're done with celebrity when even Jennifer Aniston suffers backlash.
Her offense? Posting a photo of her newest Christmas ornament, memorializing "Our first pandemic 2020."
And off she went, trending on Twitter for being — like so many of her cohort this year — tone-deaf, insensitive and out of touch.
"Why do celebrities not use logic?" went one typical anti-Aniston tweet. "Why?"
Among the many disruptions brought by COVID, our relationship to fame, Hollywood and celebrities has also shifted. As it turns out, they need us more than we ever needed them.
As the world went into lockdown, movie theaters and music venues closed and blockbuster releases were put on pause. While the rest of us worried about our next paycheck or the nationwide toilet paper shortage or whether a trip to the grocery store would kill us, we saw what happens when celebrities don't get their daily dopamine attention-hit.
First came the super-ill-advised and unasked-for "Imagine" video, spearheaded by Gal Gadot (whose much-anticipated "Wonder Woman 1984" did, in a movie star's worst 2020 nightmare, go straight to streaming). Along with Gadot were Kristen Wiig, Jimmy Fallon, Natalie Portman, Sarah Silverman, Will Ferrell and far too many other stars singing from their beautifully appointed homes, basking fireside or strolling through expansive, verdant backyards.
Such was the public recoil that even The New York Times weighed in. "Far from inspiring in a time of crisis," the paper said. "The brutality is relentless."
Yet celebrities, rather than take heed from such intense and justified scorn, doubled down. Was it out of cluelessness or callousness? Let's take a quick case-by-case review.
Chris Cuomo, the insufferable younger brother of tyrant Gov. Cuomo, contracted COVID and was then spotted around East Hampton maskless and yelling at people. Next, he faked his emergence from "quarantine" on CNN. He was most recently spotted flexing in his apartment building's elevator, admiring himself in its mirror, oblivious to the smirks of three neighbors riding with him.
We are all Chris Cuomo's neighbors now.
Also, just days in, J.Lo and A-Rod posted video of her son serving them soft drinks from his hoverboard. They also had a gym open up just for them before going on Facebook to scold the rest of us.
"Hey everyone," said our down-to-earth pal Jenny from the Block. "We want you to please stay home to stop the spread of COVID-19."
Audacious doesn't begin to cover it.
Zero lessons learned, because (as of yet anyway) why bother? Just a few days ago, Lopez was photographed in a vulgar Christian Dior bucket hat and bundled up in fur as she prepped for her New Year's Eve performance. Right before that, she posted a photo from her private jet, asking us to "text me at (305) 690-0379 which songs you want to hear on my setlist!!!"
I can think of plenty of other thoughts the public would like to share with Lopez right about now.
The list goes on: Madonna whining that COVID was "the great equalizer" from her rose-petaled bathtub. David Geffen's superyacht selfie. Ellen DeGeneres broadcasting from her gorgeous estate, a wall of greenery behind her floor-to-ceiling windows, complaining that quarantine was "like being in jail." Ben Affleck and Ana de Armas' staged and incessant paparazzi walks during lockdown. Arnold Schwarzenegger posting videos from his hot tub, puffing on a cigar or from his kitchen with his mini-ponies. Harry and Meghan's logorrheic online videos. Chrissy Teigen and countless Kardashians engaging in luxury travel, still, now, as numbers spike and ICUs verge on overflow.
Meanwhile, it's the non-famous heroes who resonate: The frontline workers and health-care providers New Yorkers cheered for every night at 7. The wealthy Secret Santa profiled by CBS News who anonymously mailed $1,000 cash to 100 carefully chosen essential workers in need. Nathan Apodaca, the Idaho potato warehouse worker longboarding and lip-syncing to Fleetwood Mac's "Dreams," while sipping an Ocean Spray, giving us all a lift.
That TikTok video sent Fleetwood Mac's 1977 hit soaring to the top of the charts. And when Apodaca revealed he shot the video after his beater broke down and he longboarded to work, Ocean Spray bought him a new truck. Cash donations from around the country poured in.
In the perfect epitome of this new moment, the elevation of the everyman at the expense of the famed, here came Mick Fleetwood himself, reenacting Apocada's ride and expressing gratitude.
"Did we expect it?" Fleetwood asked NPR. "No. Are we happy and delighted? Absolutely."

Cut your sections of fencing to ensure that each piece contains 100 squares. You can get a wide variety of types of fencing, and you may need to cut out some of the central wires in order to create a suitable sized square. Five to seven centimetre squares are an ideal size. Cover the ends of the wire that you have cut with tape to ensure safety.
This home made quadrat can be used to calculate percentage vegetation or species coverage in an ecosystem study. It can also be used to calculate the percentages of different land uses, canopy cover or even cloud cover if it is held up and looked through.


The CARA mentorship program was created in 2013 to supplement the professional development opportunities offered by webinars, workshops and conferences. Mentees work with their mentors to achieve professional goals they have identified. Mentees are matched with a mentor for an initial period of 4 months and are encouraged to participate in the program more than once to benefit from the many diverse perspectives different mentors provide. Mentors provide mentees with general career advice, expertise in a particular aspect of research administration, insight on developing certain skills beyond the mentee's current role but necessary for advancement, feedback, help setting goals and/or support to help mentees network and raise their professional profile. Mentors are available in both French and English and generously volunteer their time to help our members and our profession advance.

It disappeared out of the shop so I presumed that it got sold. But what really happened is that Claire Cullinane took it away on lone, got a genius of a young man to give it a makeover and it ended up being used to Shine an ancient light for the Titanic Century Closing Ceremony in Cobh. If you follow this LINK you will see pictures of that event. Thanks Claire and Thanks Mike Bardsley for telling me about the picture.
Deccie loves the lamp so much that he won't part with it so no point asking the price. I have to say I can understand why, the young man did a fantastic job at doing it up.

Q: Fastest possible object remapping for nested structure Assume we have two different structures from two different APIs. Each has a different schema.
We have this as a return from API #1
[
    {
        Id: "test1",
        Title: "label 1",
        Children: [
            {
                Id: "test2",
                Title: "label 2",
                Children: [
                    {
                        Id: "test3",
                        Title: "label 3"
                    }
                ]
            }
        ]
    }
]

I need to convert it to the following scheme:
[
    {
        value: "test1",
        label: "label 1",
        children: [
            {
                value: "test2",
                label: "label 2",
                children: [
                    {
                        value: "test3",
                        label: "label 3"
                    }
                ]
            }
        ]
    }
]

So far I have come up with this method:
const transformItem = ({ Id, Title, Children }) => ({
  value: Id,
  label: Title,
  children: Children ? transformData(Children) : null
});

const transformData = arr => arr.map(item => transformItem(item));

// Process data
const DataForApi2 = transformData(DataFromApi1);

From the limited benchmarking I performed and from what I can tell, in V8 (which is 95+% of our userbase) this looks fast enough as I'm not mutating any data structure (ergo hot objects are intact and retain performance) and using everything under a scope so I don't waste memory. Seems to be of linear complexity and not too bad if only performed once per client loading the app (only the first time after login).

A: In terms of runtime you're right this is probably the fastest we can get with O(n).
You could improve your space complexity by converting your solution from recursive to iterative. It saves space on the callstack which helps in extreme cases where trees go extremely deep.

Q: WebDAV for accessing fileserver for iOS apps With the sudden onslaught of iOS apps that can use WebDAV for syncing, along with the fact that we are not happy with our user's data being stored in North Carolina (evil IT overlord strikes again) we are looking for a WebDAV solution for iPads & iPhones.
We need:

*

*Authentication against LDAP (preferred), RADIUS or Samba

*WebDAVing mounting (for want of a better term) of the users home folder on the fileserver, or perhaps a folder within their home folder that is actually a mount to elsewhere.

*File server can be Samba on Ubuntu (preferred), Windows or if we have to, OS X.
We are trying to avoid having the complexity of Sharepoint or Confluance, but it would be great if there was an out of the box system.
The best solution we have come up with is a homemade PHP/Apache mod_dav and mod_rewrite/LDAP construction, but it does give the webserver full root access to the file server, which is proving a bit unpopular!

A: I do this for personal use with a Windows machine. It's pretty simple to set up with IIS. Just enable the WebDAV module, create your WebDAV site, give it a .* MIME type (application/octet-stream should work) so IIS won't give you 404s for unrecognized extensions, and shut off all application mappings for the site (ASP, ASP.NET, etc). Once you've done that, you can disable anonymous access for the site and set up appropriate filesystem permissions. If the server is involved in Active Directory, then those users will be able to authenticate and access whatever is there based on the filesystem permissions you set.
So far this has been working nicely with Pages and Scanner Pro, and I've also been using it to publish and share calendars in .ics format for a few years now (Outlook, iCal, iOS, etc).


There is still something new what meets you on the road. At least as far as you travel, you get to know naturally more about books, movies, music, art or whatever you are interested in.
Here so, will show up more and more of my recommended discoveries.


Advanced Naming Therapy is your next step up from our best-selling Naming Therapy app - perfect for the speech therapy clinic and home practice for people with aphasia, cognitive-communication challenges, and unclear speech after stroke. Challenging, fun, and perfect for groups, Advanced Naming Therapy will be your "go-to" app for verbal expression.
I love the VNEST part of this app the most - I've seen rapid improvement in my patients using it!! So glad I found it!
This tool is more advanced and creative than many other apps out there. It has the set up for VNeST, more complex pictures. It's a convenient option for stimuli to use when working on materials. Definitely worth the investment because you can use it for. Variety of disorders and clients, including older kids!
Haven't had any tech issues. Developer has been very responsive to a couple questions I had.
