Nielsen Calls Audible to Publishing September Stats. Rather than spreading out the release of ratings information over four days as it typically does with its monthly data, Nielsen Audio is opting to consolidate its September PPM results into two – next Tuesday (9/29) and Wednesday (9/30). The first batch of markets is unaffected by the decision and will get their September numbers next Tuesday as originally planned. Those markets are New York City; Los Angeles; Chicago; San Francisco; Dallas; Houston; Philadelphia; Atlanta; Nassau-Suffolk (Long Island); Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario (Los Angeles' Inland Empire); San Jose; and Middlesex-Somerset-Union (New Jersey). The second group not only moves up one day, it will join group one – meaning 24 (rather than 12) markets will have data released next Tuesday. Group two consists of Washington, DC; Boston; Detroit; Miami; Seattle; Phoenix; Minneapolis; San Diego; Tampa; Denver; Baltimore; and St. Louis. Stations from the remaining 24-PPM markets (groups three and four) get to see the outcome of the September 2015 sweep next Wednesday. Group three is Portland; Charlotte; Pittsburgh; Sacramento; San Antonio; Cincinnati; Cleveland; Salt Lake City; Las Vegas; Kansas City; Orlando; and Columbus. Comprising group four are facilities in Austin; Milwaukee; Indianapolis; Providence; Raleigh; Norfolk; Nashville; Greensboro; West Palm Beach; Jacksonville; Memphis; and Hartford.

Thnks for the code for Borderless Forms. I used it for creating custom ContextMenu.
Thank You Very Much .. Good Job Man !!
Thank you very much. Its great.
The bordless from alt+tab was really useful. Thank you.
i am running a exe at the time of system startup.the form's are In-Visible but when i click alt+tab a blank window in visible.how can i ignore that window.please send me the solution through this mail ID.
Thanks for making idea of borderless form. Excellent work.
It works after program start. But once I have set window state to normal and then back to minimized, the tool appears in the alt+tab-list.
For the form your are hiding.
how do you hide the form from the desktop after opening a new form?
+1… Thanks a lot.. SizableToolWindow worked for me.
To get it to work for me I added the Opacity setting as without that, when minimised, in the bottom left-hand corner of your Desktop you could see the top bar of your form.
@Alessandro thanks for translating to VB.NET! I was looking for this.
You saved me a lot of trouble!
This solution works great for me! Also found it on CodeProject: http://www.codeproject.com/Tips/135076/Hiding-the-form-from-alt-tab-menu.
please i need to know how i can know the key input to unhidden my form.

I must say, my husband just forwarded me this pdf, and I haven't tried any of these yet. but I am definitely going to try the banana egg pancakes. I'm assuming egg whites and egg beaters are an alternative to eggs, which is what I'd do, but any way you scramble 'em, these have got to be good. I hope this link works.
🙂 Glad I found another page of yours!

Courting 36 Court: Ashe Eyeing Policing Changes in New Term…
Sep 17, 2017 by wmasspi	in Springfield City Council
Courting 36 Court Street is a series of quick interviews with Springfield's at-large candidates. **All interviews are edited and condensed for length.**
Thomas Ashe (via Facebook/non-campaign)
Three of five current at-large councilors predate ward representation. Two of them are retiring. Thomas Ashe started just as the new council format began, which means he'll be among the more senior members next year if reelected. A desire to oversee changes at Pearl Street are part of why he says he wants to stay on the Council.
WMassP&I: What made you decide reelection this year?
Thomas Ashe: From my vantage point, I see the city moving in the right direction in so many ways. A lot of the projects are on the 50-yard line, some at the 75 or the 25 and some are knocking on the door. I really want to see some of them go through. [Another] interest over the years has been public safety. I think we've done some really good work around that.
And I just I enjoy the work. I enjoy working with people and I take particular delight in really good things going on, like this [new East Forest Park] library and numbers going down in crime. Twenty percent across the board. That spurred my decision to stick with it.
WMP&I: Last time you were running for reelection, we were talking about the pawn shop ordinance. What in the last term would you see has been big in the public safety committee?
TA: I think this C3 model has really taken hold. It engaged people in neighborhoods to become a part of the solution as opposed to, once we got away from community policing, people became less involved, pointed fingers more. Once they take ownership of it, we see the benefits. People are not afraid to stand up, be heard, make phone calls and be part of what I think is kind of a movement. The more we expand it, the more people see police in a positive vein as opposed to what we have seen nationally. I think that the training we're doing at the academy level is really paying off. We're doing a lot of things [other] municipalities aren't doing.
WMP&I: What are some things you're seeing at the academy that are different from the past and what you see in other municipalities?
TA: De-escalation for one is a training model that hardly anyone else is using. That means more "hands up in the air" from the officers' standpoint. More verbal commands that are less confrontational by nature. John Barbieri and the mayor often describes the force as "peace officers." That idea has really taken hold. Officers come out of the training academy knowing they're not expected to go out there to use their billy clubs. I think that's what the public wants. We're seeing the benefits of that [and of] policy for officers to stand up [and] be tall when they see something wrong going on [within the department]. Almost like a whistle-blower statute. A lot of good things are coming out of training.
WMP&I: Now you're seen as being both close to the top of the police department but also to the rank & file. How's the rank & file responding to some of these changes?
TA: It varies to some degree. You get some folks who've been there a long time and see things in a traditional way, less apt to adopt to new measures. But a lot of those folks are moving on, retiring. It's the new officers and the younger ones that we hope to impact the most. I think we're doing a pretty good job at doing that.
Councilor Ashe in 2016. (via Facebook/Ashe campaign)
WMP&I: When the new council is sworn in, assuming you are reelected, you'll be one of the more senior statesmen. How have you seen it change over your time there?
TA: It has certainly had a fair amount of turnover from eight years ago when I first started. That breeds new ideas and new perspectives. That's healthy in government. We've got a nice balance of veteran people and some of the young guys like Michael [Fenton] and others that were new to it [who] now really understand how government works. Certainly, there are issues that we're separated on, but that's natural. I see it as a Council that's not opposed to speak its own mind, but also one that knows how to work together when they have to.
WMP&I: You're going to have at least two brand new colleagues come January. What advice would you give the folks running at-large in such a large city?
TA: Be able and willing to go out there and wear out shoes. You have to get out and be part of the community and understand every neighborhood is unique and has its own needs. Be willing to forge partnerships and alliances. I think is a big part of it. There has to be an element of trust when you run citywide. People have to be able to say "I know he doesn't live in this neighborhood, but, you know what, he's around and he's visible and he or she listens." That's important in gaining that trust. You have to knock on doors, talk to people, come back and talk to them again. You've gotta be around, not just for ribbon cuttings, but for seemingly unimportant things. Building trust takes some time. It's not easy first time out for a lot of people.
WMP&I: What are some unique Springfield establishments you like to spend your time at, spend your money at?
TA: Like this place you mean?
WMP&I: Yeah, like Nathan Bill's.
TA: I can name a couple of spots. One on Hungry Hill that's near and dear to my heart is City Line Cafe. The Boulevard Cafe is another one. That I…
WMP&I: That's on Page Boulevard, right?
TA: …Page Boulevard. That was under a former name [from when] I remember being a little kid going there with my father. The John Boyle [O'Reilly Club] is another one. But again those are places where it's more of a social thing. When you're going in, you know people there. You know you're going into a place like that, as an elected, you're going to get asked questions. You're going to get confronted people who don't agree with certain things and that's part of it.
That's part of this business of government. That's good. It's a great way for people to understand what the pulse is and what people are concerned about. A lot of times you hear things for the first time at the City Line or other places like that, "What? I didn't know that!" It's nice to have a drink, but it's also nice to hear people out and find out what's on folks' mind.
WMP&I: Over the course of your political career, have you modeled yourself after any particular political figure.
TA: Maybe more style-wise. You look at people who have been around and been successful at this like [Congressman] Richie [Neal] and see how they act, convey themselves in public and the homework that they do. The younger guys like Michael [Fenton] and [Ward 7 Councilor] Timmy Allen do their homework and they know what they're talking about. Just little cues like that. Picking up things over the years from people, not just in government, but people I grew up with. I'm sure a lot of it was subconscious, but you do pick it up.
WMP&I: Is there anything else you'd to add before we close.
TA: Not that we didn't cover. It's a great privilege and great honor to serve and I never forget that.

The most recent photo on the site is of 21 officers who returned to the Allegheny County Police Training Academy for their re-certification as PPCT Defensive Tactics Instructors. Some of the participants were back for their 4th re-certification; others came back for their 3rd, 2nd, or 1st re-certification, respectively.
The group was made up of police officers, adult and juvenile probation officers, and one military trainer. This combination provided a great mix for the training session, and the participants learned a lot from each other in addition to getting the most recent updates in the PPCT Defensive Tactics System.
Such loyalty, both to PPCT and to me as an Associate Staff Instructor, is greatly appreciated. I hope to see all of the participants, along with the 12 new DT Instructors who took their course at the end of March, back at the academy in 2010.

Houston Texans Practice Bubble in Houston
Houston Texans Practice Bubble
Kirby Drive, Houston, Texas, Reliant Astrodome Area 77054
While the Astrodome has been left in the dust by Reliant Stadium, it can still look down on the new kid in town. The Houston Texans indoor practice facility is another dome -- or more accurately -- a bubble. The building is one of the largest in the area that is entirely supported by air. It's the sort of thing you'd expect to see as a temporary installation for a festival or large wedding, but the Texans are more than happy to make it a permanent feature. Moreover, it's easier to cool in Houston's summer sun because its volume is smaller than that of Reliant Stadium. Just like its predecessor, the Astrodome, the bubble is a grass-killer. Nearly half a century after the Astrodome forced the invention of Astroturf, the practice bubble uses "Field Turf" -- another artificial playing surface. The bubble is part of the larger Texans practice facility, which is a 17-acre complex including illuminated fields and tracks.

I thought we were past the boomerang generation—kids moving out and then back in again as their job possibilities ebb and flow.
While it was at our invitation, our youngest son moved in for the summer after his roommate moved out and he found himself at loose ends. Living with us he was able to work hard at a daytime job and pursue his passion for music while building a bit of a nest egg.
While in the end I'm not sure it's a good idea for adult children to move back in with their parents, it did give us a chance to hang out and have some fun as well as more serious conversations.
Like many of today's Gen Xers and Millennials, our son has had his share of ups and downs as he struggles to find his niche as well as a decent paying job. As a result, more than one of our conversations focused on happiness. I found myself saying what every parent likely has said at some point, "All I want is for you to be happy".
Yet, thinking about it afterward, I wondered if that really is the answer. Although we live in a world where we are bombarded by information about being happy and its pursuit has often become obsessive, what would happen if we were happy all the time?
Quite frankly, I think the novelty would wear off, we'd get bored, and ultimately stop valuing happiness.
Of course, everyone wants to be happy and it is something we should all be striving for, but maybe it's sometimes okay to acknowledge being sad. After all, isn't acknowledging rather than suppressing our emotions, ultimately what's going to make us happy in life?
I'm not saying we should pursue or celebrate sadness but maybe it's okay to accept and embrace our sadness as being crucial to living a full life. When we push ourselves to explore our sadness, it helps us think about our relationship with the world in new ways and, ultimately, relate to the world in a richer, deeper way.
Maybe we do need to stop thinking about feelings of sadness or unhappiness as being the enemy and that if we experience these emotions there must be something wrong with us.
Too often it seems we deny being sad, hold back the tears, and put on a happy face. And while there may be some merit to what Dale Carnegie taught me—"Act enthusiastic and you'll be enthusiastic"—maybe we are better off acknowledging and exploring the root causes of sadness rather than simply suppressing them.
Experience has taught me that if we continue to suppress the sadness, or what we see as bad or uncomfortable feelings, the harder it is to climb away from the dark times.
Sometimes, I think it is okay to wallow and acknowledge that you are sad—within limits of course. I am a big fan of pity parties with a time limit and have often given myself time to acknowledge I'm going through a tough time and allow myself to be sad for a day. Typically just giving myself permission to be sad and indulge does the trick and I don't even need the full 24 hours. Surrendering to sadness without resistance, seems to contribute to it leaving much sooner.
Ultimately I guess I don't want my son to push away from his emotions and feelings. After all, life is full of both richness and sadness and, if we are to live a full and meaningful life, we need to accept all of our emotions.
So, while I remain constant in wanting our kids to be happy, I guess what I'm really saying is that I also want them to be able to feel and express all of their emotions without fear—good and bad, happy, and sad.
Really great blog, Brenda! I know that I'll often put on that brave face as opposed to just embracing when I feel sad. There is a lesson in sadness and the motivation to cherish the times when we are happy.

The return value from open is a file handle, given out from the operating system to your Python application. You will want to return this file handle once you're finished with the file, if only so that your application won't reach the limit of the number of open file handles it can have at once.
The first argument of open is the filename. The second one (the mode) determines how the file gets opened.
While there are a couple of other valid mode strings, chances are you won't ever use them. The mode matters not only because it changes the behavior, but also because it may result in permission errors. For example, if we were to open a jpg-file in a write-protected directory, open(.., 'r+') would fail. The mode can contain one further character; we can open the file in binary (you'll get a string of bytes) or text mode (a string of characters).
In general, if the format is written by humans, it tends to be text mode. jpg image files are not generally written by humans (and are indeed not readable by humans), and you should therefore open them in binary mode by adding a b to the mode string (if you're following the opening example, the correct mode would be rb). If you open something in text mode (i.e. add a t, or nothing apart from r/r+/w/a), you must also know which encoding to use. For a computer, all files are just bytes, not characters.
Unfortunately, open does not allow explicit encoding specification in Python 2.x. However, the function io.open is available in both Python 2.x and 3.x (where it is an alias of open), and does the right thing. You can pass in the encoding with the encoding keyword. If you don't pass in any encoding, a system – and Python – specific default will be picked. You may be tempted to rely on these defaults, but the defaults are often wrong, or the default encoding cannot actually express all characters in the file (this will happen often on Python 2.x and/or Windows). So go ahead and pick an encoding. Encoding is the way to instruct computers about how the numbers should be stored as bytes in memory. utf-8 is a terrific one and is supported by major browsers and programming languages. When you write a file, you can just pick the encoding to your liking (or the liking of the program that will eventually read your file).
How do you find out which encoding a file you're reading was written in? Well, unfortunately, there is no foolproof way to detect the encoding - the same bytes can represent different, but equally valid characters in different encodings. Therefore, you must rely on metadata (for example, in HTTP headers) to know the encoding. Increasingly, formats just define the encoding to be UTF-8.
Armed with this knowledge, let's write a program that reads a file, determines whether it's JPG (hint: These files start with the bytes FF D8), and writes a text file that describe the input file.
I am sure that now you will use open correctly!

Frank Holden was born into a large Springfield family. He was a bricklayer by trade, married in June 1900 and had four children. After joining the army he caught pneumonia and died in Suffolk in May 1917. His home was in Parker Road.
HOLDEN, FRANK,
Private, Depot Battalion, The Queen's (Royal West Surrey Regiment) (formerly of Suffolk Regiment)
Frank lived and enlisted at Chelmsford and saw service as Private 34542 in the Suffolk Regiment. He was buried at Chelmsford Borough Cemetery in Writtle Road (grave: C2282) on 22nd May 1917, having died aged 41 from pneumonia at Bury St. Edmund's Hospital six days earlier while serving as Private 44929 in the Depot Battalion The Queen's (Royal West Surrey) Regiment. His home address was 1 Parker Road, Chelmsford. The funeral service was conducted by Rev. C. Clarke, Chaplin. His gravestone carries the epitaph "Thy will be done."
Three days later the Essex County Chronicle reported:
"Pt. F. Holden, of Chelmsford, W. Surrey Regt., died from pneumonia in hospital at Bury. He leaves a widow and four children."
The same day's Essex Weekly News carried a far more extensive report:
"Military funeral. - Pte. Frank Holden, of the Queen's (Royal West Surrey) Regt., was buried with full military honours at the Borough Cemetery on Tuesday. Deceased, whose widow and family reside at 1, Parker-rd., died in hospital at Bury St. Edmund's from pneumonia on the 16th inst. He was in his 41st year, and joined the Army nearly a year ago. Besides his widow he leaves four children, the eldest being aged 16. A large number of relatives and friends were present at the funeral; and the floral tributes included wreaths from the Hoffmann Company packing and export department and Mr. and Mrs. W. Wood, deceased having been an employee of Mr. Wood for several years."
Frank is commemorated on the Civic Centre Memorial, Chelmsford, and the Moulsham Parish Memorial, St John's Church, Moulsham.
On 17th May 1918 the Essex County Chronicle included the following in memoriam announcement:
"Holden. - In loving remembrance of my dear Husband, Private Frank Holden, of the Queen's (Royal West Surrey Regiment), who died 16th May 1917.
Hw we miss him. oh how sadly, Bleeding hearts alone can tell; Earth has lost him, Heaven has found him; Jesus hath done all things well.
From his sorrowing Wife and children - 1 Parker Road, Chelmsford."
Frank was born in Springfield on 30th August 1876, the son of James Holden and Louisa Holden (nee Joslin).
Frank's father had been born c1826 in Springfield; his mother in 1840 at Great Leighs. They had married in 1863 and in 1871 had been resident at The Wharf in Springfield where Frank's father was a coal porter.
Frank was baptised at Holy Trinity Church in Springfield on 5th May 1878.
Frank's siblings (all Springfield-born except Herbert) included Frederick Joseph Holden (born in 1863), Arthur Joseph Holden (born in 1865), Harry Pryor Holden (born in 1867), Naomi Ellen Holden (1870-1871), Ernest George Holden (born in 1872), Alice Louisa Holden (born in 1874) and Herbert Edgar Holden (1881-1902).
The 1881 census found four year-old Frank living
with his parents and four siblings at 20 New Writtle Street, Chelmsford. Frank's father was still employed as a coal porter. A decade later 15 year-old Frank was working as a bricklayer's labourer and was living with his younger brother Herbert and parents at Chase Cottage, Friars Place, Chelmsford. His father remained employed as a coal porter.
On 11th June 1900 Frank married Agnes Susanna Wade at St. John's Church in Moulsham. At the time Frank was aged 23, employed as bricklayer and still living at Chase Cottage, Barrack Square. His bride was aged 22, the daughter of the labourer Daniel Wade and resident at 3 Goldlay Road, Chelmsford.
The 1901 census found the couple living alone at 1 Pannell's Cottages [now known as 1 Parker Road] in Chelmsford. They went on to have four Chelmsford-born children, Ada Louise Holden (1901-1986), Doris Emily Holden (1904-1993), Reginald Frank Holden (1910-1961), and Jack Ernest Holden (1912-1986).
The 1911 census listed 34 year-old Frank, his wife and three children at 1 Parker Road. He was employed as a bricklayer. Two year his father died at the ripe old age of 87.
Frank's widow would regularly place in memoriam notices in Chelmsford's papers until her death.
The 1918 register of electors listed his widow still residing at 1 Parker Road. She died in 1946, aged 69, and on 24th July 1946 she was buried in her husband's grave.
Frank's mother died in 1930. 1 Parker Road was demolished around 1954 as part of a slum clearence and rebuilt.

Nigeria: By The Grace Of God We Rape, Pillage, Burn And Kidnap
February 24, 2014: Up north in Borno the local governor and the federal government are arguing over why Boko Haram has managed to kill so many people in the last few weeks. Over 400 have died in a series of spectacular raids. The governor made headlines by declaring that the Islamic terrorists were better armed, equipped and more motivated than the army. The military responded by denying this was the case and pointing out that all these Boko Haram raids were near the Cameroon border and in late afternoon or at night and that the attackers hit places far from army or police reinforcements. The attackers retreated into Cameroon and Nigerian forces do not have permission to cross the border in pursuit. Cameroon does not have enough soldiers or police to guard the entire border. The frontier area is largely rural, as well as being hilly (the foothills of the Gwoza Mountains) and easily trafficable by vehicles off the roads. Although the areas is semi-desert there are plenty of trees and vegetation most of the year. This makes it difficult for the air force to spot the approaching raiders. In short, Boko Haram has more places to hide than the army has people to watch. The army did respond by closing the border with Cameroon in Borno state, but this will not be much of an impediment to the Boko Haram raiders, who usually avoid the official border crossings. The closing will mainly inconvenience legal users of the crossings and make it more difficult for Nigerians to flee the Boko Haram violence.
Boko Haram, pleased with all the media attention announced that it will begin attacking oil facilities in the south (the Niger River Delta). That's is more boast than reality. The south is largely Christian and the local Moslems are on their best behavior so as not to antagonize the Christian majority down there. Moreover the delta is heavily policed because of all the oil facilities, along with many well-armed Christian criminals who make a living by stealing oil. Moslem terrorists from the north are not welcome and would be easy to spot (different tribes, cultures, languages accents and all that.) Some of the southern Christians would appreciate it if Boko Haram came south as that would provide an opportunity for angry Christians to get some payback for all the atrocities inflicted on the Christian minority up north. The Moslem minority in the south insists (with considerable conviction) that they are anti-Boko Haram and would report any signs that these fanatics were trying to set up shop in the south. So the Boko Haram threat is more bluster than reality. But given that Boko Haram considers itself on a Mission From God, they may well try to carry out attacks in the south. Previous attempts have failed, but if you believe your activities are Divinely Approved than trying again is not out of the question.
Meanwhile Boko Haram also repeated its threats against Moslem clerics in the north who preach against Islamic terrorism. In addition to assassinating prominent clerics who criticize them, some of the Boko Haram raids hit the mosques of these clerics, burning them down while killing many of the local Moslems who attend the mosque. Boko Haram is all about terror, big time.
Boko Haram also has cash and Cameroon has detected a sharp increase in the movement of illegal weapons to the Nigerian border area over the last year. Gunrunners throughout the region have been detected seeking, and often, getting large orders from the Boko Haram groups camped out in Cameroon. The Islamic terrorists obviously have cash. Last September Cameroon police seized a truck carrying several thousand AK-47s and heading for the Nigerian border. In January another truck was stopped and found carrying 655 rifles and pistols. Other trucks have been carrying hidden cargo consisting of heavy (12.7mm and 14.5mm) machine-guns, ammunition or RPGs. It's not that gunrunners headed for Nigeria are unknown in this part of Cameroon. But in the past the weapons smugglers were carrying smaller quantities and headed into Nigeria to supply the many criminal gangs that politicians maintain as private armies (especially during elections). But now the quantities are much larger, and they are stopping at the border and sold on the Cameroon side.
Another new problem Cameroon has on the border is refugees from Nigeria. There are over 100,000 of them so far and there is definitely a Boko Haram presence in the refugee camps. Boko Haram does not make spectacular attacks on the Cameroon side of the border, seeking to maintain good relations with the border police so they can continue to use Cameroon as a sanctuary. This lack of Boko Haram violence attracts the refugees, who are thoroughly terrified of Boko Haram.
February 22, 2014: Tribal violence continues in central Nigeria (Plateau State) as Moslem and Christian gunmen attacked each other's villages killing at least 49 people and destroying much property in several attacks over the last three days. This is a continuation of the series of attacks that began in the last month. Moslem nomadic Fulani tribesmen have been fighting with Christian and pagan farmers outside the city of Jos for years. The violence has gotten worse now and there were over a thousand casualties in 2013. Boko Haram has recently claimed involvement, but that appears to be marginal. The Fulani have long claimed that the government was sending Christian police to persecute them because of their religion (not because they were constantly attacking Christian farmers). The settled (farming) tribes have been there a long time and in the last few decades more Fulani have come south looking for pasturage and water for their herds and have increasingly used force to get what they want.
February 21, 2014: A Nigerian court ordered the government to either bring charges and arrest the recently dismissed Central Bank head (Lamido Sanusi) or leave him alone. On the 20th president Johnson suspended Sanusi for unspecified irregularities and federal agents seized Sanusi's passport. Sanusi's real crime is supplying anti-corruption investigators with data proving that the government officials have recently stolen over $20 billion of oil revenue. Theft on that scale is believed to involve the highest officials in the national government, especially if Sanusi can provide sufficient documentation on the details.
February 19, 2014: In the north (Borno state) Boko Haram gunmen attacked, for the fourth time in two years, Bama, a village 21 kilometers from an army base. Nearly fifty people were killed this time as the Islamic terrorists looted and burned the town, including the palace of a prominent tribal chief. Because the military base is nearby the army often catches the attackers as they flee and kills a lot of them. But the Cameroon border is also nearby and the Islamic terrorists that once across the border they are safe. The Boko Haram in this area have lots of vehicles mounting heavy (12.7mm and 14.5mm) machine-guns, apparently bought in Cameroon by black market weapons dealers. Boko Haram keeps coming into Nigeria because that's where the money is and the Islamic terrorists need cash to survive. These raids are not just to terrify but also to steal supplies and equipment.
February 17, 2014: Niger reported that a series of army raids in the east (Diffa, on the Nigerian border adjacent to Borno state) led to the arrest of twenty Boko Haram men from Nigeria. A Boko Haram camp was destroyed along with a large quantity of weapons and ammunition. The troops also killed several Boko Haram members. The Niger officers on the scene determined that Boko Haram was preparing to make attacks in Niger in retaliation for the Niger army and police operations against Boko Haram.
February 15, 2014: In the north (Borno state) Boko Haram attacked a Christian village near the Cameroon border and killed over a hundred people. Several other villages were attacked in the area but there were far fewer deaths from those attacks. People in the area now know the run for the bush at the first sign of a Boko Haram attack.
February 13, 2014: In the north (Adamawa state) nine soldiers were killed when their patrol was ambushed by Boko Haram gunmen. Survivors of the ambush say that at least nine of the ambushers were also killed.
February 11, 2014: In the north (Borno state) over a hundred Boko Haram men dressed in army uniforms and riding in trucks painted in army colors attacked a town. There the gunmen killed 52 people, wounded many more, kidnapped 20 teenage girls and burned down over a thousand structures, including a mosque. The Boko Haram men also had an army armored vehicle which they had apparently bought or stolen. The raiders rode off with many local vehicles they seized. The police and soldiers stationed in the town fled when they realized how many Boko Haram there were. The Boko Haram men destroyed about 70 percent of the town during the six hours they were their killing, burning and looting.

These saints were influential astronomers who wed science and faith together
Philip Kosloski - published on 04/19/18
Not only did they study the stars, they glorified the Creator for their beauty.
Unfortunately, scientists are often pegged as atheists, under the illusion that anyone who truly delves deep into science will discover that God does not exist. However, that is far from the truth, as many of the first scientists and astronomers in the Western world were Catholic priests and religious. They did not see how delving deeper into the intricate workings of the cosmos could possibly lead them farther away from God.
A Catholic priest, Fr. Georges Lemaître, is "Father of the Big Bang Theory"
In fact, for many of them, studying how the universe operated led them closer to God and opened them up to the marvels of creation.
To give a few examples, here are two astronomers who made significant contributions to the field of astronomy and who have been beatified by the Catholic Church.
Bl. Herman of Reichenau
Herman was born in Swabia in 1013 with severe physical deformities. Some accounts say that he had a cleft palate, cerebral palsy, and spina bifida. At the age of seven he was given to a Benedictine monastery where he remained for the rest of his life. What he lacked in body he made up for in his mind.
During his time at the monastery Herman showed to all that he was a genius. He excelled in mathematics and astronomy, translating many works that previously were only available in Arabic. Furthermore, Herman introduced various astronomical instruments to central Europe, such as an astrolabe, and a portable sundial. His works include star charts and complex calculations for such things as the earth's diameter.
Yet, his most well-known contributions were his hymns to the Blessed Virgin Mary. It is believed that he wrote the Alma Redemptoris Mater and the Salve Regina. It shouldn't be surprising that within the Alma Redemptoris Mater, Herman wrote, "Loving mother of the Redeemer, gate of heaven, star of the sea."
Bl. Francesco Faà di Bruno
Born to a noble family in 1825, Francesco initially entered the military but then resigned and left to study in Paris at the Sorbonne. There he immersed himself in mathematics and astronomy under the guidance of Augustin-Louis Cauchy and Urbain Le Verrier. It was Le Verrier who used mathematics to help discover the existence of the planet Neptune. Francesco graduated with a theses in mathematics and one in astronomy on the topic of celestial mechanics.
After graduating he took a position at the University of Turin and was a popular lecturer, often leading courses in astronomy, in addition to his position as a professor of mathematics. He is known today in mathematics for the "Faà di Bruno's formula," which is named after him.According to the Catholic Encyclopedia, "In recognition of his achievements as a mathematician, the degree of Doctor of Science was conferred on him by the Universities of Paris and Turin."
However, Francesco eventually felt called to the priesthood and left his illustrious career to become a humble priest who served the poor and most vulnerable of society. John Paul II said during his beatification homily, "Francesco Faà di Bruno [set out] on the path [to help] the poor, the humble, the helpless, making him a giant of faith and charity. Thus was born a whole series of works and welfare activities which is not easy to make a list. Also in the scientific field he was able to bring his consistent testimony of a believer, in a period in which the dedication to science seemed incompatible with a serious commitment of faith."

Facebook seeks guidance on data portability - Mobile World Live

Facebook seeks guidance on data portability
Facebook called on regulators and other experts to answer key questions to help it forge its strategy around protecting user privacy while meeting demand for increased data portability.
In a whitepaper, Facebook noted laws such as the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the US state of California's Consumer Privacy Act require it to offer tools making it easier for users to transfer their data from one service to another.
But it said complex questions about what and whose data should be transferable; how to share it in a manner which fully protects user privacy; and who is liable for misuse after a transfer remain unanswered.
It pointed out user data can be interrelated and a portability request from one user could potentially include information about another person. Such a scenario raises questions about whether consent should be required from all users involved and whether this would restrict portability.
In a blog, Facebook VP and chief privacy officer Erin Egan wrote: "To build portability tools people can trust and use effectively, we should develop clear rules about what kinds of data should be portable and who is responsible for protecting that data as it moves to different providers."
Egan added Facebook wants the views of "privacy experts, policymakers, regulators and other companies around the globe about how data portability should be implemented to maximise the benefits while mitigating the risks".
The move comes soon after Facebook agreed to pay a $5 billion fine and overhaul its business practices to settle a Federal Trade Commission investigation into the Cambridge Analytica data breach.

Q: Variable Assignment plus an extra boolean []r = new boolean[numberOfStates];
for(int i=0; i<numberOfStates;i++)
    r[i]=i==q;

Being q, i and numberOfStates int variables,
what does r[i]=i==q; do?

A: i==q resolves to a boolean, and is assigned as value to r[i].

A: It assigns true to r[i] if i==q and false if not.
Which means r[q] is the only element in the array that would be assigned true.
Since all the values of a boolean array are initialized to false, you can replace this code snippet with :
boolean [] r = new boolean[numberOfStates];
r[q] = true;

A: if you initialize array as and q as bellow you will end up with result
true
false
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        int numberOfStates = 2;
        int q = 0;
        boolean []r = new boolean[numberOfStates];
        r[0] = false;
        r[1] = false;
        for(int i=0; i<numberOfStates;i++)
            r[i]=i==q;

        for(int i=0; i<numberOfStates;i++)
            System.out.println(r[i]);

    }

as per my understanding == has higher Precedence than =
so r[i]=i==q; will evaluated as i==q (q is 0) it result true
ans assigned to r[[0]] to true;

Q: Identifying the Telegram-Bot-Owner not possible? I am currently implementing a telegram bot that needs to differentiate between the one that owns the bot - meaning the one who has been provided with the bots credentials - and all other users chatting with the bot.
I am using webhooks and from what I can see, there is no parameter provided in the message object, that I could use to identify this relationship. Parameter like surname, lastname are not sufficient as they are ambiguous and the @username is not provided at all.
One could use the chat-id, but I cannot see any API Call that would offer userData ..
Any ideas ?
BR Andre

A: Using python, save your (admin) chat.id to a config file, then compare it via chat.id from incoming message entity.

An analysis cardstock is an activity more substantial plus much more difficult than a low-exploration one. It can be described as a talk that may comprise of a large number of scholarly sounds from the deepest recent till currently.
As a writer, you participate in a dialogue by growing to be a well informed individual. From that time, you are over an engaged reader, but rather a specialist of a text's life. You already know in the event the written text was born, how this has been appreciated, and exactly what done. Contributive these specifics towards the chat regarding this, you keep it living. So, as part of your research cardstock about literature you do not ever really mention the written text, but about precisely how we read it, why we read through it, and everything you observe and benefit.
When I would be a undergraduate, I really liked producing exploration newspapers, specially when I noticed the fact that the opinions are flowing. I had learned some necessary lessons and want to share these people with you to ultimately make the crafting approach pleasant and simple as possible.
A watchful and helpful looking at could make you see essential things on the text: topics, type of story, an strange construction or anything else which should be outlined. Select the words within your curiosity, or maybe a particular subject that you have currently achieved in another place. Think about it: exactly what makes this design essential to the written text? Probably idea of this subject prospects us to larger difficulties from the text message that ought to be described?
By way of example, you may find two novels that have a similar design to see the way it is described with the messages. Before you decide to study how many other people have actually mentioned about that, you will get your personal concepts, which type your doing work theory.
The best way to generate a robust hypothesis is to try to examine your findings plus the other researchers' thoughts. Afterward, you can carry out the root theme which you have recognized. This hypothesis will continue to work since your thesis assertion, which you will need to develop and establish with explanations in your own further more newspaper.
What is considered regarding the concept that you are utilizing? Find some supplies in regards to the words generally speaking and about the specific ideas you would like to study. Any kind of important essays that examine the particular subject the actual way it is referred to in texts that you are considering, or they focus on this idea generally? Are there experts from other segments, like past, business economics, and anthropology which may have offered almost anything to a argument?
To find beneficial places, that you are encouraged to utilize MLA Intercontinental Bibliography or JSTOR. The ideal alternative is to apply each of them to get down loadable and full-wording content articles.
Run through the suppliers you may have located. Contemplate some exciting reasons relevant to the assignment and pay attention to the experts and investigation of selected areas of wording and figures you intend to manage inside your posting.
Consider information even though browsing and utilize all of them to commence the talking while using the creators you happen to be reading. Obtain the insurance quotes in the key textual content you happen to be producing a study paper on and demonstrate these people with assisting arguments from your significant content articles one has compiled.
I think it is helpful to make numerous notes whilst studying as it can be. I always found it secure and beneficial, because if you create them downwards, you should have a chance to ensure they are. In case you did not use all of them in a up-to-date report you may be developing, you can be able to use them later on.
Get started on your posting. Recall, that the best way to maintain a practical construction and composition will be to generate an description first and transfer by it. It's acceptable to have back and re-produce previous paragraphs for people who have new tips to keep the issue.
Don't prevent offering sights you disagree with. Clarify diplomatically why your opinions are usually more appropriate than their own and present the way your comprehension could match the conversation.
An ideal section has a single point supported by some convincing misunderstandings. Think about which core level each and every section is offering. You should know really which real question is said in every single paragraph or you will get rid of the reader's particular attention since he/she is going to not comprehend both.
Investigating and posting take time and effort, nevertheless with practical tips and suggestions you are more likely to manage this task very easily. Hopefully, the following information will let you with the literature exploration voyage!
