A DST researcher, Ms Amy Stringfellow, has been awarded the ADM Women in Defence 'Rising Star' award for her achievements in Defence science, and especially cyber research. Amy is researching and developing next-generation technologies that will enable the ADF to execute missions in contested cyber environments.
"Our particular work program is aimed at informing decision-making," she explains.
"We are interested in providing military commanders with a clear, timely understanding of their cyber dependencies and how that impacts their missions. By automatically mapping mission-critical workflows undertaken by warfighters to the underlying cyber assets, commanders and their network defenders can prioritise the defence of their networks and systems."
One of her team's major breakthroughs has been a world-leading, proof-of-concept experimental system that uses natural language information flows such as emails, chat logs and working documents to identify and chart complex military processes without human assistance. This is a critical capability for automatically identifying how military missions depend on critical cyber resources.
Amy conceived and co-authored the innovative machine-assisted web-based application that enabled the rapid labelling of a large body of military natural language documents, producing data sets that were essential for training and testing the team's machine learning algorithms. She additionally researched, coded and conducted experiments on machine learning pipelines used to analyse the data.
Cyber mission mapping is of interest to militaries around the world and Amy and her team are working closely with cyber experts from the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) in Washington DC, Massachusetts Institute of Technology Lincoln Laboratories (MIT LL) in Boston and US Indo-Pacific Command in Hawaii.
Amy described her Rising Star award as 'greatly encouraging', emphasising that it was very much a team effort. "It's really nice for the work of the team to be recognised," she says. "It's all about what we've managed to achieve together."
In addition to her research, Amy is a role model and champion of STEM careers in Defence, particularly for girls and young women.

Cryo-TEM of thread-like micelles: On-the-grid microstructural transformations induced during specimen preparation
Dganit Danino, Yeshayahu Talmon*, Raoul Zana
This paper reports a transmission electron microscopy at cryogenic temperature (cryo-TEM) study of the microstructure of aqueous solutions of hexadecylpyridinium chlorate (CPClO3) in the presence of sodium chlorate. Micrographs showed very crumpled bilayer fragments with many creases, coexisting with spheroidal and thread-like micelles, instead of the threadlike micelles expected from previous neutron and light scattering studies of this system. This shows that shear during specimen preparation for cryo-TEM may affect the microstructure of some investigated systems. With the CPClO3/NaClO3 system the shearing of the sample associated to its blotting apparently induces a transformation of the thread-like micelles into bilayer fragments. Other transformations may be also possible in view of the results reported for other systems. However, it is noteworthy that changes of microstructure such as the ones discussed in this paper have been observed only in a relatively small number of the systems investigated by cryo-TEM. Beyond the implications for cryo-TEM, our findings are direct manifestations of shear-induced changes in surfactant solution microstructure.

St. Jude's Church is a place of worship of the Free Presbyterian Church of Scotland on Woodlands Road in Glasgow, Scotland. It is the largest church building of this denomination, constructed circa 1874-6 for the Woodlands United Presbyterian Church, later Woodlands United Free Church.  The Free Presbyterian Bookroom is located in back rooms at the church.

In the early 20th century, in a previous building also known as St Jude's, the name given to it by its previous owners, the congregation had an attendance of over 1,000, and was the largest Free Presbyterian congregation.

Tracey Baptiste
Tracey Baptiste was born in Trinidad, where she grew up on jumbie stories and fairy tales, and decided to be a writer at the wise old age of three. It took a few more years to get her first publishing contract though. Her debut, a young adult novel titled Angel's Grace, was named one of the 100 best books for reading and sharing by New York City librarians. Tracey is a former teacher, textbook editor, ballerina, and amateur librarian who once started up a library in her house in the hope that everyone would bring their books back late and she would be rich! You know, like other librarians. She is now a wife and mom and lives in New Jersey, where she writes and edits books for kids from a very cozy office in her house that is filled with more toys than she can count. The Jumbies is her second novel.---from the publisher

Feb 5, You should notice that both of them have three double bonds.
Typical uses of plasticized PVC include films, sheets, tubing, coated fabrics, wire and cable insulation and jacketing, toys, flooring materials such as vinyl sheet flooring or vinyl floor tiles, adhesives, sealants, inks, and medical products such as blood bags and tubing, and the like.
Other polymer systems that use small amounts of plasticizers include polyvinyl butyral, acrylic polymers, nylon, polyolefins, polyurethanes, and certain fluoroplastics.
Petroleum products, selected (EHC 20, )
Plasticizers can also be used with rubber although often these materials fall under the definition of extenders for rubber rather than plasticizers. Carraher, Elsevier ; pp. Plasticizers can be characterized on the basis of their chemical structure. However, in the recent past there has been an effort to decrease the use of phthalate esters as plasticizers in PVC, particularly in end uses where the product contacts food, such as bottle cap liners and sealants, medical and food films, or for medical examination gloves, blood bags, and IV delivery systems, flexible tubing, or for toys, and the like.
For these and most other uses of plasticized polymer systems, however, a successful substitute for phthalate esters has heretofore not materialized. One such suggested substitute for phthalates are esters based on cyclohexanoic acid.
In the late 's and early 's, various compositions based on cyclohexanoate, cyclohexanedioates, and cyclohexanepolyoate esters were said to be useful for a range of goods from semi-rigid to highly flexible materials. Other suggested substitutes include esters based on benzoic acid see, for instance, U.
Provisional Patent Application No. Epoxidized soybean oil, which has much longer alkyl groups C16 to C18 has been tried as a plasticizer, but is generally used as a PVC stabilizer. Stabilizers are used in much lower concentrations than plasticizers. Co-pending and commonly-assigned U.
Alcohols useful to esterify the unsaturated cycloaliphatic acid include 2-ethylbutanol and 2-ethylhexanol, and those formed by catalytic addition of carbon monoxide and hydrogen to olefins with subsequent hydrogenation of the resulting hydrocarbons in accordance with the well-known oxo-process.
The unsaturated cycloaliphatic esters used as starting materials can be prepared by subjecting selected cyclic monounsaturated dicarboxylic acids or anhydrides to conventional esterification procedures by reacting the acid or the anhydride with at least one aliphatic monohydric alcohol in the presence of a catalyst.
The cyclic monounsaturated dicarboxylic acids or corresponding anhydrides may be synthesized by a Diels-Alder addition reaction, such as where maleic anhydride is reacted with acyclic or alicyclic dienes, including 1,3-cyclopentadiene yielding nonbridged and bridged compounds, respectively.
The alcohols used to esterify the acid anhydrides may be linear or branched alcohols having carbon atoms or oxoalcohols which are the hydroformulation products of C5 to C12 alkenes. JP discloses tetracarboxylic acid esters as plasticizers, prepared for example from di 2-ethylhexyl ester of 3,6-methylenetetrahydrophthalic acid.
JP discloses compounding a cyclopolyolefin resin with a specific ester compound described by formulae I - IV thereof. The disclosure mentions the diisononyl ester of 3,6-methylenetetrahydrophthalic acid. JP discloses compounding a resin component consisting of a polypropylene-based resin and a polyolefinic thermoplastic elastomer with one or more alicyclic dicarboxylic acid esters of the formula Awherein the ester groups are C alkyl or alkenyl.
To date, none of the prior art compounds or compositions has demonstrated satisfactory equivalence to conventional phthalate plasticizers for use with PVC polymers. Thus what is needed is a method of making a general purpose non-phthalate plasticizer having suitable melting or chemical and thermal stability, pour point, glass transition, increased compatibility, good performance and low temperature properties.The Diels–Alder reaction is an organic chemical reaction (specifically, a [4+2] cycloaddition) between a conjugated diene and a substituted alkene, commonly termed the dienophile, to form a substituted cyclohexene derivative.
It was first described by Otto Diels and Kurt Alder in , for which work they were awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in Maleic anhydride is probably hydrolyzed to maleic acid and then hydroxylated to malic acid, which participates in the Krebs cycle or may be excreted unchanged or in conjugated form.

Q: Make TypeScript check a library folder other than node_modules I have a process that flattens modules for TypeScript into a folder called ./lib (instead of ./node_modules).
I have skipLibCheck set and I exclude ./lib from compilation.
However, when referencing packages in ./lib they seem to try to resolve from ./node_modules instead.
Something like:
In my-file.ts, which should be compiled by tsc:
import { thing } from './lib/library/index.js';

tsc resolved this to ./lib/library/index.d.ts, which looks something like:
export * from '@depTypeLib/typeName';

Now this should resolve to ./lib/@depTypeLib/typeName.d.ts, but instead it fails to find it.

TS2305 Module './lib/library/index.js' has no exported member 'thing'.

Running tsc --traceResolution shows me that it checked ./node_modules/@depTypeLib/typeName.d.ts, and if I copy the file there it works.
How do I force tsc to check the ./lib path that it does have instead of the ./node_modules folder that it doesn't?

A: I found a way around this, but it's fairly awful and I don't think it's a good solution.
tsconfig lets you specify paths, so it looks like this should work:
{
  "compilerOptions": {

    "baseUrl": "./",
    "paths": {
      "node_modules/*": ["lib/*"]
    }
  }
}

It fails, because paths is only checked for the initial path, and as soon as tsc starts trying to find definitions it ignores paths.
OK, bit of pain, explicitly reference the path should work, right?
    "paths": {
      "@depTypeLib/*": ["lib/@depTypeLib/*"]
    }

This fails, it's not remotely clear why, but tsc --traceResolution gives an obtuse clue...
...
'paths' option is specified, looking for a pattern to match module name '@depTypeLib/typeName'.
'baseUrl' option is set to 'C:/GitHub/project/wwwroot'
...

Directory 'C:/GitHub/project/wwwroot/lib/@depTypeLib/typeName/node_modules' does not exist, skipping all lookups in it.
File name 'C:/GitHub/project/wwwroot/lib/@depTypeLib/typeName.js' has a '.js' extension - stripping it.
...repeat for every parent directory
======== Module name '@depTypeLib/typeName' was not resolved. ========

It looks like tsc has mapped my baseUrl to C:/GitHub/project/wwwroot (correctly), and then found that a path maps @depTypeLib/* to lib/* (correctly) and found the correct path C:/GitHub/project/wwwroot/lib/@depTypeLib/typeName.
Here tsc should follow the usual resolution logic and find typeName.d.ts, but it doesn't, it just checks for a node_modules folder or a typeName.js and fails to find definitions in either.
It appears to do this every time there's a typeName.js as well as the typeName.d.ts.
The solution is to explicitly reference the definition file in paths:
    "paths": {
      "@depTypeLib/typeName": ["lib/@depTypeLib/typeName.d.ts"]
    }

So to fix this:

*

*run tsc --traceResolution

*find the node_modules death spiral that ends with ======== Module name 'X' was not resolved. ========

*find the .d.ts for that module manually

*add the mapping to paths

*go to 1. and repeat until it finishes

*weep at your now massive tsconfig that's doomed every time you add another dependency

There must be a better way than this.

Battery Storage Solutions
Inverter Upgrades
Making Your Generation Work For You
PV-T panels provide the power source for the heating and hot water system with the lowest possible running cost.
By combining these panels with our specially designed PV-T heat-pumps, we can provide both a heating and power solution to new build low energy houses.
As standard PV panels get hotter (both from the sun and from inefficiencies in the light to electricity conversion) they become less efficient; this is why a standard PV system will have its highest peak output often during the sunny colder days as opposed to the height of summer.
Our PV-T solution features a 'thermal layer' which actively cools the PV part all year round leading to electrical generation yields of up to 20% more than standard PV. The heat we get from the panels can be used either directly through our ground source heat-pumps to provide heating and hot water for the property or, if no heat is required at the time, the panels divert the thermal energy back into the ground system. We have several different designs of ground system which will optimize the heat storage capacities of the ground. Heat stored in the ground during the day is returned back to the heating system through the heat-pump as required. The net effect is the COP of the heat pump can be as high as 7 (I.e. 1 unit of electricity in and 7 units of heat out) and the seasonal efficiency is also significantly increased.
PV-T is one of those rare marvels in engineering where by incorporating three technologies; PV, Solar Thermal and Heat-pump, we are able to produce greener cheaper energy than if they are installed separately. Our PV-T system actually generates around four-times more energy than a standard PV system both in terms of heat and power.

Opinion: Deadly effects of Rwandan genocide still felt today
The Rwandan genocide began 25 years ago. However, the deadly repercussions are still being felt. One only has to look to the neighboring Democratic Republic of Congo, writes Dirke Köpp.
Stroll through the Rwandan capital, Kigali, today and you'll encounter well-kept streets, new skyscrapers and business centers — a modern city. And yet, 25 years ago, these same streets — and roads throughout the country — were lined with hundreds of thousands of corpses. The putrid smell of decay hung the air.
It has been a quarter century since nearly 1 million people, most of them from the Tutsi minority group but also members of the Hutu majority, were massacred in Rwanda in the space of a few months.
It took a long time for the massacre to be recognized as a genocide against the Tutsis, and for the world to say that it would "never again" look the other way.
And yet, the world continues to look away every day. Not in Rwanda. But in Yemen, Congo, Myanmar, South Sudan, in the Sahel. It's not always conspicuous mass killings. Instead, many smaller attacks occur on a daily basis, and they're largely ignored.

Children of genocide grapple with past horrors
Arms in the wrong hands
At the moment, Germany, France and the UK are arguing about whether they should supply Saudi Arabia with weapons — and if yes, which weapons.
And yet, all three countries must be aware of what happens when weapons are sold to the wrong people. Recently, a DW report revealed that German arms are being used by Saudi forces to kill innocent people in the Yemen conflict.
In Rwanda, it emerged afterward that France had been supplying weapons to the regime until just shortly before the genocide. And instead of protecting civilians with the Operation Turquoise military intervention in June 1994, the French army allowed the perpetrators, along with their weapons, to retreat to what is now the Democratic Republic of Congo.
The people in Congo have been suffering the effects of this failure ever since. Barely a day goes by without massacres and attacks by armed groups in eastern Congo. But because it's happening a little each day, and far away in small villages, the violent killings are largely ignored by the media. The international community only tends to react when the body count hits 100 or more.
100 days of slaughter: Rwanda's genocide
A signal to extremists
On April 6, 1994, unidentified attackers shot down a plane carrying Rwandan President Juvenal Habyarimana as it was about to land at Kigali airport. President Habyarimana, his Burundian counterpart and eight other passengers died in the crash. The next day organized killings began. Massacres continued over the course of three months, and at least 800,000 Rwandans lost their lives.
Targeted killings
After the assassination of the president, Hutu extremists attacked the Tutsi minority and Hutus who stood in their way. The murderers were well prepared and targeted human rights activists, journalists and politicians. One of the first victims on April 7 was Prime Minister Agathe Uwiringiymana.
Foreign nationals rescued
While thousands of Rwandans were being killed every day, Belgian and French special forces evacuated about 3,500 foreigners. On April 13, Belgian paratroopers rescued seven German employees and their families from Deutsche Welle's relay transmitting station in Kigali. Only 80 of 120 local staff members survived the genocide.
Appeals for help
As early as January 1994, UNAMIR commander Romeo Dallaire wanted to act on information he had received about an "anti-Tutsi extermination" plot. The warning he sent to the UN on January 11, later known as the "genocide fax", went unheard. And his desperate appeals after the genocide began were rejected by Kofi Annan, who was Under Secretary General for Peacekeeping Operations at the time.
Hate media
The Mille Collines radio station (RTLM) and Kangura, a weekly magazine, stoked ethnic hatred. In 1990 Kangura published the racist "Hutu Ten Commandments." Mille Collines radio, which was popular for its pop music and sports programs, fuelled the genocide by urging Hutu civilians to hunt down and kill Tutsis. Director Milo Rau devoted his film "Hate Radio" to these appalling broadcasts (photo).
Refuge in a hotel
In Kigali, Paul Rusesabagina hid over 1,000 people in the Hotel Des Mille Collines. Rusesabagina had taken over the position of the hotel's Belgian manager, who left the country. With a great deal of alcohol and money, he managed to prevent Hutu militias from killing the refugees. In many other places where people sought refuge, they were not able to escape the slaughter.
Massacres in churches
Churches were no longer sanctuaries. About 4,000 men, women and children were murdered with axes, knives and machetes in the church of Ntarama near Kigali. Today the church is one of the country's many genocide memorials. Rows of skulls, human bones as well as bullet marks in the walls are a reminder of what happened there.
The French government maintained close ties to the Hutu regime. When the French army intervened in June, it enabled soldiers and militiamen responsible for the genocide to flee to Zaire, now the Democratic Republic of Congo, and take their weapons with them. They still pose a threat to Rwanda today.
Streams of refugees
During the genocide, millions of Rwandan Tutsis and Hutus fled to Tanzania, Zaire and Uganda. Two million of them went to Zaire alone. They included former members of the army and perpetrators of the genocide, who soon founded the Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda (FDLR), a militia that is still terrorizing the population in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo today.
Capture of the capital
On July 4, 1994, rebels from the Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF) patrolled the area around the Church of the Holy Family in Kigali. By that time they had liberated most of the country and routed the perpetrators of the genocide. However, human rights activists also accused the rebels of committing crimes, for which no one has been held accountable to this day.
End of the genocide
On July 18, 1994, the RPF's leader, Major General Paul Kagame, declared that the war against the government troops was over. The rebels were in control of the capital and other important towns. Initially, they installed a provisional government. Paul Kagame became Rwanda's president in the year 2000.
Lasting scars
The genocide went on for almost three months. The victims were often slaughtered with machetes. Neighbors killed neighbors. Not even babies and elderly people were spared, and the streets were strewn with corpses and body parts. It's not only the physical scars on the bodies of the survivors that remind Rwandans of the genocide. There is also a deep trauma.
Author: Andrea Schmidt / gu
To compare the numbers: The Rwandan genocide cost the lives of around 800,000 people. But in the aftermath of the massacre, millions of people have been killed in eastern Congo in the last 25 years, in what to this very day is a sort of "collateral damage" of the Rwandan genocide.
On a recent visit to the Kigali Genocide Memorial, Congo's new president, Felix Tshisekedi, remarked that this "collateral damage" has not spared his country, which has "suffered the loss of millions of lives."
Tshisekedi's visit to Rwanda could be a first step toward reconciliation between the two neighboring countries, which have been at odds for more than 20 years. The root of the tensions has always been about domination in the region and Congo's resources.
Repression to prevent another genocide
Rwandan President Paul Kagame's authoritarian style of government — often referred to in the West as a "developmental dictatorship" — punishes his critics with imprisonment. Kagame has called it a necessary evil to prevent a new genocide; apparently this is the only way to keep history from repeating itself.
Take the case of opposition politician Victoire Ingabire, who was accused of playing down the genocide and served six years of a 15-year sentence for inciting insurrection. Last September, in a big show, she was pardoned by Kagame.
When she criticized the president again, she was again threatened with detention. This threat, of course, was not made in English or French, but in Rwanda's Kinyarwanda language, and was therefore was missed by most foreign media.
Portrayals of Rwanda's genocide, 25 years on
In the British Netflix series, Kate digs into the turmoil of her past. She wants to put those responsible for the genocide in her home country behind bars, but that puts her in grave danger. It's a dramatic reappraisal of the genocide — and its aftermath to this day, accompanied by Leonard Cohen's dark "You want it darker" as the soundtrack.
Paul Rusesabagina ran the Hotel des Mille Collines in Kigali in 1994. During the genocide, he protected more than 1,200 people from certain death. In 2004, the story was turned into the film "Hotel Rwanda." The disturbing drama was not only nominated for three Oscars, but also reminded the general public of the atrocities of the genocide.
Shake Hands with the Devil
Romeo Dallaire (photo) was commander of the UN mission in Rwanda before and during the genocide. In his book "Shake Hands with the Devil," he lays blame on the international community for the catastrophe of 1994. The Canadian had said that intervention was vital in order to stop the murder, but his cries for help and those of the Rwandans went unheeded. His book was turned into a film in 2007.
Hate Radio
The radio was used by the génocidaires, who perpetrated the genocide in Rwanda, as a propaganda tool to spread their hate messages throughout the country. The RTLM broadcaster called the Tutsi and the moderate Hutu "cockroaches." In his play "Hate Radio," the Swiss theater director Milo Rau stages a frighteningly authentic day in the studio of the infamous station.
We Wish to Inform You That Tomorrow We Will Be Killed with Our Families
The church is also partly to blame for the genocide in Rwanda. This dramatic, formal sentence from a Tutsi pastor's letter to a church superior collaborating with the génocidaires was chosen by US journalist Phillip Gourevitch as the title of his book. In Rwanda, he collected reports from survivors. Through them he tried to understand the psychological aftermath of the genocide.
The film "Shooting Dogs" shows how quickly a supposedly healthy world became hell on earth. In a school in Kigali, hundreds of people seek shelter from the murderous militias waiting outside the gates. They initially believe that the UN blue helmets can protect them, but then the evacuations of Americans and Europeans begin. The Rwandans are left behind — and the killing starts.
Left to tell
For 91 days, Immaculée Ilibagiza hid in the bathroom of a pastor's house. Machete-wielding men had been looking for her and the seven other women who had taken refuge in the small room. When they were finally able to leave, she discovered that almost her entire family had been murdered. She believes that it was her faith that saved her and has written about the genocide and its lasting effects.
Rwandan Records
Even 25 years after the genocide, Rwanda remains inextricably linked to the darkest chapter in its history. But many Rwandans also want to look to the future — including rapper Eric1key and the "Rwandan Records" project. Their goal is to show there is more than just a victim mentality by promoting the perspective of self-confident people. They are holding shows in Berlin and later, in Rwanda.
Author: Felix Schlagwein (als/ct)
Far from over
Behind the facades, Kagame's highly praised reconciliation project has not yet progressed as far as the president would have the world believe.
Rwandan overtures to reconciliation are impressive, especially the willingness of ordinary people to forgive the murder of their parents, children and siblings. The state, however, is not setting a good example.
Official proclamations only ever mention the genocide of the Tutsi. Forgotten are all those Hutu who lost their lives because they dared to help save the Tutsi from the murderers in their own ranks.
This doesn't mean that Rwanda is in danger of facing another genocide. It does, however, show that the country, and the region, still suffer the consequences of the 1994 massacre. And that the road to reconciliation is far from over.

Incorporating conflicting descriptions into decisions from experience
Weiss-Cohen, L; Konstantinidis, E; Speekenbrink, M; Harvey, N; (2016) Incorporating conflicting descriptions into decisions from experience. Organizational Behavior and Human Decision Processes , 135 pp. 55-69. 10.1016/j.obhdp.2016.05.005.
Weiss-Cohen, L., et al. Incorporating conflicting descriptions into decisions from experience. OBHDP 2016 Pre-proof version.pdf - Accepted version
Decisions in everyday life are commonly made using a combination of descriptive and experiential information, and these two sources of information frequently contradict each other. However, decision-making research has mostly focused on description-only or experience-only tasks. Three experiments show that individuals exposed to description and experience simultaneously are influenced by both, particularly in situations in which descriptions are in conflict with experience. We examined cognitive models of how people integrate their experience with descriptions of choice outcomes, with different weights given to each source of information. Experience was the dominant source of information, but descriptions were taken into consideration, albeit at a discounted level, even after many trials. Models that included the descriptive information fitted the human data more accurately than models that did not. Wider implications for understanding how these two commonly available sources of information are combined for daily decision-making are discussed.

ECNL BOYS LAUNCH NEW NORTHERN CAL CONFERENCE, IN
PARTNERSHIP WITH NORCAL PREMIER SOCCER
10-Club Division Will Begin Play August 2020
Richmond, VA (February 24, 2020) – The ECNL Boys will launch a new Northern Cal Conference for the 2020-2021 season with 10 participating clubs. In a unique partnership with long-time US Club Soccer league NorCal Premier Soccer, the ECNL Boys Northern Cal Division will also feature an annual promotion / relegation playoff, where the 10th place club in the ECNL will playoff annually against the 1st place club in NorCal's NPL Division to determine the final member of the conference for the subsequent year.
"NorCal Premier Soccer has been a leader in growing and improving the game in this country for more than a decade, and has built a vibrant league across Northern California," said ECNL President Christian Lavers. "By collaborating with NorCal Premier Soccer and providing this promotion / relegation playoff, we provide a clear pyramid in Norther California, a clear pathway for clubs to the top level of boys soccer, and we support the ongoing growth of NorCal's leagues and platforms. We are incredibly excited to launch this conference, and to do so with the unique structure and with the great support of NorCal Premier Soccer and its leadership." The first six clubs to participate in the inaugural year of the ECNL Boys Northern Cal Conference will be Davis Legacy, Marin FC, MVLA, Mustang, San Juan Soccer Club, and Santa Rosa United. Four additional participating clubs will be named in the coming weeks.
"The ECNL has been a national leader in girl's soccer for some time," said NorCal Premier Soccer President Benjamin Ziemer. "NorCal Premier Soccer's goal has been to provide a club soccer pyramid, allowing the process of promotion and relegation from ages 14 and up, in order to place our clubs' teams within the appropriate level of our competitions.

Since I happen to read a lot of blogs about writing (well, copywriting mostly), I am of course interested in giant lists of blogs about (copy)writing.
I don't subscribe to writingwhitepapers.com, but many of the other blogs I do subscribe to have recently been mentioning their contest that ranks the top ten blogs for copywriters. And of course when they say "writer", they often mean "copywriter". I'm fairly confident that the next great American novel won't be cobbled together with tips from a blog called "Freelance Writing Jobs".
1. Copyblogger: As the undefeated champ, this blog has held the number-one spot for three straight years! The baby of Brian Clark, this blog keeps winning because of its excellent and educational articles.
2. Men With Pens: James Chartrand and Harry McLeod are the dynamic duo who continue to deliver rich content and community discussion.
3. Freelance Writing Jobs: Founded by Deb Ng, this site is the first stop for freelance writers seeking new work and great articles (and it remains a top winner since this contest began).
4. Write to Done: This blog delivers a steady stream of excellent articles for all writers and is the product of top blogger Leo Babauta.
5. Confident Writing: Looking for encouragement? Joanna Young will help you take your writing to the next level.
6. The Renegade Writer: Linda Formichelli and Diana Burell, authors of a book by the same name, help freelance journalists find inspiration.
7. Remarkable Communication: One part writing, one part marketing and one part selling, this excellent blog by Sonia Simone will help any writer succeed.
8. Writing Journey: Looking for a great stop on your writing journey? Bob Younce's blog will refresh and energize you.
9. Freelance Parent: Two moms, Lorna Doone Brewer and Tamara Berry, provide excellent perspective on writing while balancing time with little ones.
10. Urban Muse: Susan Johnston covers a wide range of excellent topics that all writers will enjoy.
If you want even more blogs about writing, here's the list of those in the running.
Of those, I'd say I read Copyblogger and Men With Pens on a near-daily basis. Every once in a while I check out Write to Done, The Renegade Writer, Confident Writing, and… well, that's about it.
As a result of this contest, I think I'll be giving Remarkable Communication and Urban Muse an especially serious look. In fact, I'll probably add all ten of these blogs to my RSS feeder (Vienna is awesome) and simply delete the ones that I don't end up reading often (I'm too busy copywriting to waste time on the sub-par ones!).
A lot of these blogs also serve as sources of income for their authors – which means that while they teach you to sell your stuff, they're trying to sell you their stuff. It means that virtually every part of these sites (from the advertisements, to the content, to the linkbacks, etc.) has a specific point. They're trying to get you to subscribe, or they're building up their own credibility, or they're trying to build their SEO.
Sure, the advice on these blogs is good. But what I find even more informative is to actually pick them apart. Regardless of what they advise you to do, I enjoy taking a look at what they actually do. The curse of the copywriter in the internet age.

When Harry Potter's name emerges from the Goblet of Fire, he becomes a competitor in a grueling battle for glory among three wizarding schools – the Triwizard Tournament. But since Harry never submitted his name for the Tournament, who did? Now Harry must confront a deadly dragon, fierce water demons and an enchanted maze only to find himself in the cruel grasp of He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named. In this fourth film adaptation of J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series, everything changes as Harry, Ron and Hermione leave childhood forever and take on challenges greater than anything they could have imagined.

Mike Newell decided against the studio's original idea of adapting the extremely long book into two separate films to be released several months apart, figuring that he could cut enough of the book's bulky subplots to make a workable film. It was Alfonso Cuarón, the director of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004) who convinced him.
A digital "spot removing" technique (which had previously been used for such TV shows as Desperate Housewives (2004)) was applied in post-production to clear up some of the more severe teen skin problems since make-up tested poorly for close-up shots in particular.
According to rumors that circulated the Internet, both Rowan Atkinson and John Malkovich were considered for the role of Lord Voldemort. Both rumors were proven to be untrue.
Mike Newell only received $1 million to direct (whereas Chris Columbus received $10 million plus a percentage of the gross to direct Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (2001).
Features the largest underwater set ever constructed. It has the capacity of up to 500,000 liters of water.
Ray Winstone and Billy Connolly were considered for the role of Mad-Eye Moody.
Rosamund Pike was the first choice for the role of Rita Skeeter but declined.
Daniel Radcliffe suffered two ear infections following the underwater filming.
The newspaper headline "Harry Potter and the Triwizard Tournament" was considered as the title of the fourth book.
While filming his scenes as Professor Dumbledore, Michael Gambon wore street clothes under his flimsy costume.

Our season-final show, the opening of the exhibition István Orosz in New York was in mid-December.
István Orosz (1951), one of the most prolific and best known printmakers, graphic artists and animated filmmakers of Central Europe has been creating his trademark art - often employing forced perspectives, anamorphoses, illusions and impossible objects - since the 1970s. Initially best known for his prints (including film and exhibition posters), his resumé has expanded to include unique trompe l'oeil graphics and some of the most inspired animated films to come out of Hungary (as well as Europe). He has presented individual shows in Chicago (I Space Gallery), The Hague (Escher Museum) and over a dozen other major cities and art centers. Prizes awarded to István Orosz include the Gold Medal at the Biennial of Graphic Design (Brno), the Creative Distinction Award of the European Design Annual (Dublin), the Gold medal at the Annual Exhibition of the Society of Illustrators (NewYork) and the Main Prize of the KAFF Animated Film Festival (Kecskemét).
Over 150 people joined us to celebrate István Orosz' first solo exhibition in New York, which featured posters, graphic art and animated shorts projected on multiple screens.

He has brought some much laughter into our lives as we are constantly cracking up by his personality and floppiness. His top priorities in life are to be snuggled and to have his belly rubbed. That simple! Life is good."
"Everyone that has seen him has talked about how well socialized, smart and happy a puppy Maverick is! Thank you to you and your family for that! We are so thankful!"
"Cody is an amazing puppy and it was clear from day one that you and your family spent a lot of time with the puppies. Cody adjusted well to his new home and was quick to be house trained. We all have pet allergies and are so pleased to say that Cody is the first dog all of us can be with and none of us have allergies. This has been especially important for our boys who really wanted an indoor puppy. We can't seem to go anywhere without a crowd of people wanting to meet Cody. They all comment how handsome, sweet and smart he is. We always tell the folks we meet that if you are looking for a Labradoodle, the only one to see is Hale's Labardoodles. It is apparent that you treat all the puppies like members of your family. The schedule and training you do with the puppies makes it easy for us to take over and keep our puppy on the right path. A huge thanks to Heather and her family for putting Cody in our lives."
"Buckley has completed two obedience classes and is always at the top of the class. The trainer said he is the best Labradoodle she has ever had in her class and she has been training for 25 years."

In the Bernie Sanders Guide to Political Revolution, Independent congressman, presidential candidate and activist Bernie Sanders continues his fight against the imbalances in the nation's status quo, and shows you how to make a difference to effect the changes America—and the world—need to create a better tomorrow.
Throughout the Presidential campaign, Senator Bernie Sanders promised voters a future to believe in through his progressive platform and a vision for America worth fighting for. This vision calls for an economic, environmental, health care, and social justice revolution beyond the stagnant agendas of Democrat and Republican politicians to build an equitable future for all Americans—especially the younger generation that will inherit the consequences of decisions made now.
Inside this practical and inspiring guide to effecting change in today's world, you'll learn how to:
· Understand and navigate the current system of policy and government
· Work to change the system to reflect your values and to protect our society's most vulnerable
· Organize for the causes you care about most
· Resources for further reading and organizations to get involved with
With more than two decades of Washington D.C. insider knowledge and experience, Senator Sanders knows how to fight and change the system from within, a system desperately in need of reform in health care, immigration, taxes, higher education, climate change, and criminal justice.
The political revolution is just beginning. What role will you play?
BERNIE SANDERS was a Democratic candidate for President of the United States. He is serving his second term in the U.S. Senate after winning re-election in 2012 with 71 percent of the vote. Sanders previously served as mayor of Vermont's largest city for eight years before defeating an incumbent Republican to be the sole congressperson for the state in the U.S. House of Representatives. He lives in Burlington, Vermont with his wife Jane and has four children and seven grandchildren.
"The most refreshing thing about the Bernie Sanders Guide is the most refreshing thing about Bernie Sanders the politician: a seemingly total lack of condescension." —The Slate Book Review
"Sanders's passion for the political process is evident . . . a must-have for every collection." —VOYA, starred review

Australian-first centre tackles mining scars on WA landscape – by Emma Young (WA Today – April 27, 2017)
April 27, 2017 in Australia/New Caledonia/Papua New Guinea Mining, International Media Resource Articles, Mining Environmental Accidents, Pollution, Tailing Dams and Abandoned Mines, Mining Environmental, Water Shortage and Land Reclamation/Revegetation Issues
http://www.watoday.com.au/
An Australian-first project has lured scientists to Perth from across the globe to work with resources companies on restoring huge tracts of WA land left barren after mining is done. The $6.7 million new centre at Curtin University is led by botanist Kingsley Dixon, former director of science at Kings Park and 2016 WA Scientist of the Year.
He said while Australia had strict approvals processes and mine regulation, the end of a mine's life was far less scrutinised. "A report by the Australia Institute in March showed Australia had 60,000 abandoned mines where the miner has walked away because it's too hard to patch the hole, put back the veg," he said.
"Now a federal inquiry happening into how we got this so wrong. "And in this state the scale of the problem is colossal. There are few other mining activities in the world on this scale."
One company mining iron ore in the Pilbara had a footprint of 1200 square kilometres to be rehabilitated – the equivalent of a one-kilometre strip beside Great Northern Highway from Perth to Newman, Professor Dixon said.
While some of the abandoned pits were 'legacy' holes, predating regulation, many existed because companies struggled to understand even basic technology to repair a damaged landscape – despite a desire to be good environmental stewards.

Archive for the 'David Haskell – Pastificio Defilippis- Los Angeles' Category
Published May 15, 2010	David Haskell - Pastificio Defilippis- Los Angeles 3 Comments
As many of you know, David Haskell is no stranger to the restaurant business. His resume is extensive from Guy Savoy in Paris, Le Cirque and Aquavit in New York, Aubergine in Newport Beach, co-owner and managing director of Bin 8945 in West Hollywood, Director of Operations for Jeffrey Best and Sommelier/Director of Operations at Vertical Wine Bar and Bistro in Pasadena. (In the interest of full disclosure, David is my son.)
Well, David has started an exciting new project.
From nbclosangeles – Feast (quoted with a bit of editing)
http://www.nbclosangeles.com/feast/Updating-David-Haskell-and-Pastificio-Defilippis-92211444.html
"Over the weekend, sommelier David Haskell finalized plans to open an Italian restaurant in L.A. with Paolo Damilano, who owns a Torino pasta shop & restaurant called Pastificio Defilippis. According to Haskell, "I'm very excited to team up with somebody whose view of food and wine is the same as mine."
On May 22, Haskell heads to Torino, which will allow him to "understand 100% of what we're looking for, but still be able to adjust to the L.A. market." He'll meet Pastificio Defilippis' executive chef and learn the pasta making process. Then it's on to Piemonte, where Damilano produces wine. Haskell hopes to forge relationships that will allow the L.A. outpost of Pastificio Defilippis to serve wines that were previously unavailable Stateside.
"What we're doing is classic," said Haskell, who plans to pour primarily Italian wines, with one or two bottles from the south of France, plus Slovenia. No bottle will exceed $75. As for the food, Haskell wants to visit Italy before finalizing the menu.
For the design, Haskell plans to go with architect George Kelly, who designed Mozza and The Tar Pit.
Haskell and Damilano are planning to open more than one West Coast branch of Pastificio Defilippis. "We're looking at rolling the first one out, making it perfect, then looking at more," said Haskell, who also mentioned San Francisco and Portland as eventual possibilities.
The first location, conveniently located, will serve as the hub for U.S. operations. "The executive chef and two sous will come here for two months to make sure it's running as smoothly as in Italy," says Haskell. New hires will eventually come to work in Los Angeles before moving on to the next location.
Haskell expects the L.A. outpost of Pastificio Defilippis to be open daily for lunch and dinner, and he'll be there daily."
David is well aware that Defillippis is a hard word for Americans to pronounce. The actual restaurant will be known as PD Pasta – much easier on the tongue, but true to the concept.


Windows 10 Operating System offerings are changing.
Organizations that run a lot of device-based licensing will be affected the most – these are most common in manufacturing, nurse/ doctor terminals, etc. This hints at future simplification of the Microsoft ecosystem, where Office 365 and Enterprise operating systems are aligned for true Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI). The general implications for reducing or removing availability for per device licensing matches cloud-based licensing initiatives while attempting to capture more revenue for usage of Microsoft products.
If your EA includes Windows 10 Enterprise E5 per device (which is identical to Windows 10 Enterprise E3 except for the inclusion of Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection), and you need additional licenses then you have little to worry about in the short term. As noted above, as long as your EA is current, you can continue to purchase the products you have today – even expiring products, at the same price.

Is Carbon Dioxide a Compound?
Home Science Chemistry Atoms & Molecules
Carbon dioxide is a compound formed by the sharing of two pairs of electrons between each of the two atoms of oxygen and one atom of carbon. This leads to the formation of a double covalent bond between the atoms of oxygen and carbon.
Carbon dioxide occurs in nature, and about 0.04 percent of the atmosphere consists of carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is essential for the photosynthesis that takes place in the leaves of green plants. Carbon dioxide remains a gas at normal temperature and pressure. It is soluble in water and has a molar mass of 44.01 grams per mole.

Q: extracting last two letters from a list of names by python I have list of names with male and female tags to them. I have to extract last two letters of the names and the tag as well. I have shown a sample from the list.
([['suzetta', 'f'],
  ['teresita', 'f'],
  ['kaja', 'f'],
  ['nikita', 'm'],
  ['ina', 'f'],
  ['viviene', 'f'],
  ['lancelot', 'm'],
  ['nolan', 'm'],
  ['clayton', 'm'],
  ['almire', 'f'],
  ['ernest', 'm'],
  ['aubert', 'm'],
  ['kelsi', 'f'],
  ['phillipe', 'm'],
  ['lillian', 'f'],
  ['giovanni', 'm'],
  ['rochell', 'f'],
  ['mag', 'f'],

The code I am using is :
def last(letters):
    A = (i[-2:] for i in letters)
    return A

It is not returning the expected output because of the male and female tags in the name. Is there any work around for this? Thanks in advance!!
The expected output should be something like this:
[['ta', 'f'], ['ta', 'f'], ['ja', 'f'], ['ta', 'm'], ['na', 'f']]

A: Use a list comprehension:
inp = [['suzetta', 'f'], ['teresita', 'f'], ['kaja', 'f'], ['nikita', 'm'], ['ina', 'f']]
output = [[x[0][-2:], x[1]] for x in inp]
print(output)

This prints:
[['ta', 'f'], ['ta', 'f'], ['ja', 'f'], ['ta', 'm'], ['na', 'f']]
