It is not a secret that in various periods there existed various opinions regarding the effectiveness of the OSCE, and in the recent past its work aroused a lot of sharp remarks. Many experts said it was conditioned by several factors such as ambiguous status of the OSCE member states in the process of geopolitical transformation of the world. Critical moments caused by the conflict of geopolitical interests are still questionable; these problems have been piled up for years.
The December OSCE Summit in Astana will definitely give a new impetus to the activity of the Organization, outline the strategic directions and the 'road map' of development of this international structure.
Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary, Permanent Representative of Russia to the European Union Vladimir Chizhov told about current problems of the OSCE, initiatives of Russia and Kazakhstan within the Organization and about the upcoming Summit of the OSCE in Astana in the interview with Kazakh journalists.
Mr. Chizhov, many international experts consider that the principles and work of the OSCE have become a bit obsolete and do not correspond to current realities. Can you share your view on it?
In my opinion the principles of work have not become obsolete, but the practice of the OSCE work does not meet the principles. I believe the problem is in deviating from basic principles. When the founders of the OSCE, it was then the CSCE, started this large-scale project they thought about founding a commission and then organization that would be based on several principles, first of all on the 10 Helsinki Principles. Consequently within the OSCE three dimensions were founded; military-political, economic and environmental, humanitarian. However practically we saw a shift of emphasis both in conceptual and geographical aspects. In geographical terms the activity was concentrated westward from Vienna, and in regard to concept there was an obvious tendency toward humanitarian dimension. This is what urged the group of countries including Kazakhstan and Russia to raise the issue of dissatisfaction with the OSCE work. This issue was considered and something was revised. At least nobody denies now the necessity to reform the Organization. When I worked on this issue before going to Brussels it was very difficult to persuade anybody to even talk about it. Now this topic is discussible. The 'Corfu Process' that was started when Greece chaired the Organization is continued by Kazakhstan's chairmanship. Surely, it does not solve all the problems of the Euro-Atlantic security because the OSCE has not enacted any legally binding documents in its history. All the documents of the OSCE are political ones.
At the informal meeting of the OSCE Foreign Ministers on July 16-17 in Almaty Nursultan Nazarbayev proposed to unite European and Asian security spaces into one global system. Russian president also expressed his view on the necessity of adopting a new European security treaty. What do you think about these initiatives?
I believe that the problem of true international legal consolidation of security is not the problem of only Europe but the whole world and Asia included. Geographically, our concept of the European security treaty provides for participation of all countries of the OSCE including Central Asian, North American countries and organizations that are involved in this sphere such as the NATO and EU. Certainly, having addressed the problem of European or Euro-Atlantic security we should not stop. Asian security is a priority as well and African should be in future. Therefore I consider all the initiatives are useful and mutually complementary.
As is known the OSCE Summit has not been held for 11 years. Kazakhstan has managed to organize the Summit that will take place on December 1-2 in Astana. How successful, in your opinion, this event can be?
I took an active part in preparation and holding of the previous summit in Istanbul in 1999. I remember common agreement reached among highest political echelons to hold the OSCE Summits, at least, once in two years. But 11 years elapsed and I think that the initiative of Kazakhstan to hold the Summit this year is a very bold and serious. Certainly it comes along with a lot of difficulties, including the organizing process, but I believe that Astana will show the world that it is capable of holding such eminent events. The problem is also could be in preparing final documents. I do not want to go deep into the matter but it is a very delicate multilateral process of negotiations that is held in Vienna as well as in the capitals. We hope that the results of the Astana Summit will meet our expectations.

Q: See the distribution of secondary requests grouped by time interval in sql I have the following table:
RequestId,Type, Date,        ParentRequestId
1         1     2020-10-15    null
2         2     2020-10-19    1
3         1     2020-10-20    null
4         2     2020-11-15    3

For this example I am interested in the request type 1 and 2, to make the example simpler. My task is to query a big database and to see the distribution of the secondary transaction based on the difference of dates with the parent one. So the result would look like:
Interval,Percentage
0-7 days,50 %
8-15 days,0 %
16-50 days, 50 %

So for the first line from teh expected result we have the request with the id 2 and for the third line from the expected result we have the request with the id 4 because the date difference fits in this interval.
How to achieve this?
I'm using sql server 2014.

A: We like to see your attempts, but by the looks of it, it seems like you're going to need to treat this table as 2 tables and do a basic GROUP BY, but make it fancy by grouping on a CASE statement.
WITH dateDiffs as (
    /* perform our date calculations first, to get that out of the way */
    SELECT
      DATEDIFF(Day, parent.[Date], child.[Date]) as daysDiff,
      1 as rowsFound
    FROM    (SELECT RequestID, [Date] FROM myTable WHERE Type = 1) parent
    INNER JOIN  (SELECT ParentRequestID, [Date] FROM myTable WHERE Type = 2) child
    ON parent.requestID = child.parentRequestID
)

/* Now group and aggregate and enjoy your maths! */
SELECT
  case when daysDiff between 0 and 7 then '0-7'
       when daysDiff between 8 and 15 then '8-15'
       when daysDiff between 16 and 50 THEN '16-50'
       else '50+'
   end as myInterval,
   sum(rowsFound) as totalFound,
   (select sum(rowsFound) from dateDiffs) as totalRows,
   1.0 * sum(rowsFound) / (select sum(rowsFound) from dateDiffs) * 100.00 as percentFound
FROM dateDiffs
GROUP BY
   case when daysDiff between 0 and 7 then '0-7'
       when daysDiff between 8 and 15 then '8-15'
       when daysDiff between 16 and 50 THEN '16-50'
       else '50+'
   end;

A: This seems like basically a join and group by query:
with dates as (
      select 0 as lo, 7 as hi, '0-7 days' as grp union all
      select 8 as lo, 15 as hi, '8-15 days' union all
      select 16 as lo, 50 as hi, '16-50 days'
     )
select d.grp,
       count(*) as cnt,
       count(*) * 1.0 / sum(count(*)) over () as raio
from dates left join
     (t join
      t tp
      on tp.RequestId = t. ParentRequestId
     )
     on datediff(day, tp.date, t.date) between d.lo and d.hi
group by d.grp
order by d.lo;

The only trick is generating all the date groups, so you have rows with zero values.

Q: how to make gulp.dest dynamic I am learning to use gulp.I took a eg scenario in which I tried to copy the files based on the name if it is odd move it to odd folder otherwise move it to even. But some where destination folder is messed up. here is the folder structure and code.
1
--my
----new
-----2.txt
----1.txt
----2.txt

    g = gulp.src '**/*.txt', cwd: '1'
    g.pipe map (file,cb)->
        filename = path.basename file.path, path.extname(file.path)
        if filename % 2
            dest = 'odd'
        else
            dest = 'even'
        debugger
        console.log 'destination ',dest
        g.pipe gulp.dest dest
        cb null,file

It is copying the even file names to odd folder.It is about the destination folder being remembered(closure I think)

A: If you literally only have two output destinations, the simplest solution might be to use the gulp-if plugin, like so (I don't use CoffeeScript, so you'll have to convert it yourself):
var _if = require('gulp-if');

function fileIsOdd(file) {
    return path.basename(file.path, path.extname(file.path)) % 2;
}

// in your task
gulp.src('**/*.txt', {cwd: '1'})
    .pipe(_if(fileIsOdd, gulp.dest('odd'), gulp.dest('even')))

What this does is process the individual file with the fileIsOdd function.  If the function returns a truthy value, then the first argument is processed, otherwise the second argument is processed.


Unemployment among youths has become one of the worst problems in Europe and this is one problem that could only get worse in the future.
Youths, people between 16 and 25, are struggling to find work after they finish their education. The numbers are alarming, with youth unemployment rates often going above 30%. This means that more than one third of young people who are actively seeking a job can't find one, and it is a sign of a not so bright future ahead of Europe.
Even though the situation in Portugal has got slightly better in the last couple of years, the unemployment rates among youths are still a serious issue. While people all around the country are either losing their jobs or being forced to work more hours for same wages, young people are facing something even more frustrating, they can't seem to even get a job.
More than one third of youths is now protesting due to this terrible situation and are threatening to leave the country if something doesn't change soon. The main problem is that Portugal is producing young professionals fresh out of college who can't put their knowledge and skills to use in any way.
They are moving away not to earn incredible amounts of money, but to have a normal life; something their own country cannot provide for them. Even with jobs, they would have to live on minimal salaries and struggle to start their own families. And while finding work outside of their country isn't so easy either, they see it as their only option.


"I am friends with everybody, it doesn't matter who their father is," he told the Thomson Reuters Foundation as his classmates chanted: "I'm fine, thanks, and you?" in unison.
"I feel sorry for my classmates, because what happened to me (losing his father) has happened to many of them," he said at Future Prowess, a unique primary school in Borno state which welcomes orphans and struggling children, even those born to Boko Haram fighters.
Boko Haram, whose name means "Western education is sinful" in the local Hausa language, seven years ago launched a bloody campaign to carve out an Islamic caliphate in northeast Nigeria.
The insurgency has killed more than 15,000 people and forced some two million to flee their homes. It has also deprived millions of children of an education and torn apart communities.
Ensuring children are in school, and encouraging communities to overcome the suspicion and stigma often directed at the offspring of the jihadists, is key to healing the rifts sown by Boko Haram, said Future Prowess' headteacher Suleiman Aliyu.
"We tell the children: 'Whatever tragedy has happened to you, it is not the end of your life'," Aliyu said.
Aliyu's pupils are among the fortunate few going to school in the northeast. More than 1,000 schools have been damaged or destroyed, while nearly 20,000 teachers have been uprooted by Boko Haram, according to Borno's education ministry.
While aid agencies are helping state schools to reopen, and holding classes in camps for the displaced, some three million children in the northeast are unable to go to school, the U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said.
Many have never been to school in their lives.
"We can't afford to have an entire generation miss out on an education," said Borno education ministry official Ali Bukar Dogo.
Parents may not see the value of an education, lack a school nearby where they can send their children, or insist that their children instead find work, several education experts said.
In the Custom House camp for displaced people, hundreds of children could not contain their excitement as they raced into newly opened classrooms and received their backpacks and books.
Teacher Mariam Abatcha beamed as cheering pupils — many attending school for the first time — piled into her class.
"Look at all of these girls!" she said, explaining how educating girls is often considered 'un-Islamic' in the north.
Peeking in through the doorway of a classroom, father-of-11 Bulama Abba smiled as his youngest daughter Fatima, opened her first-ever school book.
Abba could not afford to send his children to school when they lived in nearby Mafa, and instead made them work on his farm. But after fleeing Boko Haram last year and arriving in the camp, he did not hesitate to enroll his eight-year-old girl.

While aid agencies strive to build more classrooms and provide school supplies in camps across Maiduguri, the obstacles to resuming education are huge in areas recently secured by the Nigerian army after years of being under Boko Haram control.
Tens of thousands of people have left Borno's capital and returned home in recent months, leaving recently reopened schools struggling to deal with the influx of pupils, limited learning materials and a lack of trained teachers, OCHA said.
The state plans to expand schools, ensure they have toilets and running water, and train teachers to provide counselling to help children cope with seeing their homes burnt down and relatives killed, education official Dogo said.
But it will take time for not only the pupils, but also their parents, to feel safe again in school in the wake of the destruction waged by Boko Haram, education experts say.
"The fear of attacks on schools has become embedded in society," said Chester Shaba, education specialist at UNICEF.
Perched on their knees in a crowded classroom in the Custom House camp, students clap and cheer after one of the pupils, 11-year-old Mallan, counts from one to 10 in English.

Rating Action: Moody's reviews Valero Energy Partners' Baa3 rating for upgrade and affirms Valero's ratings
Announcement: Moody's Disclosures on Credit Ratings of Valero Energy Corporation
MOODY'S CONFIRMS RATINGS OF ULTRAMAR DIAMOND SHAMROCK WITH STABLE OUTLOOK (SR. UNSEC. AT Baa2)
Approximately $2 Billion of Securities Affected.
New York, July 06, 2000 -- Moody's Investors Service confirmed the Baa2 senior unsecured ratings of Ultramar Diamond Shamrock Corporation (UDS) with a stable outlook following the company's announcement that it had reached an agreement in principle to purchase Tosco Corporation's Avon refinery located in the San Francisco bay area of California. Consideration for the acquisition will include $650 million in cash payable at closing, plus a contingency payment of up to $150 million to be paid over the next eight years if and when annual West Coast refining margins are above average. The purchase price excludes additional feedstock and product inventories to be purchased at the time of closing. UDS expects to finance the majority of the $650 million purchase price with debt, and the remainder with available cash. The acquisition will be subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, including additional due diligence and regulatory approval, and is anticipated to close by the end of 2000.
Moody's confirmation of UDS' ratings was based on the strategic benefits the company will likely derive from its acquisition of the Avon refinery, including increased refining capacity, greater geographic diversification, a higher concentration in the West Coast wholesale refining market, and the opportunity to integrate vertically its Northern California retail operations. The stable rating outlook reflects the likelihood for continued strong average refining margins for the remainder of 2000, and management's commitment to continue to apply free cash flow to net debt reduction to improve the company's financial flexibility. The stable outlook also assumes that share repurchases will be minimal until the company's financial leverage returns to pre-acquisition levels, and that UDS will continue to manage prudently its capital spending program.
Ratings confirmed include Ultramar Diamond Shamrock's notes, medium-term notes, pollution control revenue bonds, and debentures at Baa2; its subordinated debentures at Baa3; its cumulative convertible preferred stock at "baa3"; and its shelf registration for senior/subordinated debt at (P)Baa2/(P)Baa3; and its Prime-2 rating for commercial paper. Also confirmed were the guaranteed notes of Ultramar Credit Corporation at Baa2; the guaranteed preferred stock of UDS Capital I at "baa3"; and the shelf registrations for preferred stock of UDS Capital II and UDS Funding II, LP at (P)"baa3".
With distillation capacity of 168,000 barrels per day, Avon is a complex refinery that processes mainly less expensive, heavy California crudes that are transported to the refinery via pipelines. Tosco has been operating the Avon refinery as part of its Northern California system, rather than on a stand-alone basis. UDS plans to operate Avon at higher utilization levels and process more crude oil and less intermediate feedstocks, which should improve the value of the refinery's product slate and enhance its profitability. UDS also expects to achieve annual pre-tax synergies of about $25 million, mainly through operating expense reductions.
On the marketing side, the refinery will more than double UDS' sales volumes in California. Moreover, through Avon, UDS will be able to supply directly its approximately 150 Northern California retail branded sites, thus eliminating the need for less efficient product exchanges. However, Moody's notes that the bulk of the Avon refinery's output will continue to be sold into the more volatile California wholesale market.
The Avon refinery acquisition will provide numerous benefits to UDS, but the company will also face certain challenges, including enhancing the refinery's profitability and improving its environmental and safety record. However, even with additional capital spending for maintenance projects, and assuming low average refining margins, Moody's expects that Avon should be able to generate some free cash flow for debt reduction. As part of the purchase agreement, Tosco will retain responsibility for pre-existing environmental liabilities up to an agreed amount.
New, more stringent environmental regulations will likely raise required capital spending and operating costs for the refining industry. However, Moody's believes that such incremental amounts will not be material for UDS in the foreseeable future. At Avon and Wilmington, the company plans to substitue ethanol for MTBE to comply with California's ban on MTBE use by the end of 2002, and Moody's believes this can be achieved at a relatively low cost.
Ultramar Diamond Shamrock Corporation is a large independent refining and marketing concern headquartered in San Antonio, Texas.

Scam Involving Fake Priests Is A Problem In South Florida, Warns Miami Archbishop Thomas Wenski
By Carey Codd April 15, 2019 at 10:23 pm
Filed Under:Archdiocese of Miami, Carey Codd, Fake Priests, Florida News, Local TV, Miami Archbishop, Miami News, Scam Artists, Thomas Wenski
MIAMI (CBSMiami) – It's a scam affecting a number of churches in the Archdiocese of Miami.
Scam artists preying on parishioners by pretending to be priests, asking for money for gift cards for charitable purposes, according to church leaders.
Archbishop Thomas Wenski offered a simple and reassuring message for parishioners.
"No Catholic clergyman will ask a parishioner for a gift card," Wenski said.
Church officials showed CBS4 News one of the scams that someone in the Archdiocese received.
It appears to come from the Auxiliary Bishop of Miami. Part of the phony message reads:
"I need you to get an iTunes gift card for soma patients going through cancer in the hospital and I promised each patient but I can't do this right now," the bogus message reads. It continues, "I will pay back as soon as I get back. Let me know if you can get it Many blessings."
Church leaders fear the scammers are getting access to the priest and parishioner information through public information on church websites and bulletins.
A church spokesperson told CBS4 News that some priests are changing their phone numbers as a result of the scam.
The warnings to parishioners are going out from the pulpit and in church bulletins.
A message that appeared in a Broward Catholic Church bulletin this past weekend reminds parishioners that the priest at their church would never text or email a parishioner and ask for money.
Archbishop Wenski said the scammers have even tried to use his name to carry out their fraud.
"When you use my name, it upsets you because you feel violated and you feel like nothing is safe," Wenski said.
The Archdiocese of Miami said that All Saints Catholic Church in Sunrise is one of the parishes where a scam artist tried to get money from a parishioner.
We're told that parishioner reported the incident to police, however CBS4 News was unable to get a copy of the report from police on Monday evening.
Church leaders said some parishioners across the archdiocese have fallen for the scam and purchased gift cards. We're told one victim lost $1500.
It's possible that this scam here in South Florida is part of a broader scam affecting other parts of the country.
Last month in Texas, the Attorney General of that state warned residents of scam artists pretending to be priests texting church members and asking for gift cards for charity.
Parishioners put their faith in their priests and want to help people in need and this scam is taking that faith and corrupting it.
"This technological world we live in has given us some great things but it also exposes us to some great perils," Wenski said.

Former New York City Mayor suggests Trump plans to pull the U.S. out of the Iran nuclear agreement.
Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who recently joined President Donald Trump's legal team dealing with the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 elections, suggested on Saturday that Trump plans to pull the U.S. out of the Iran nuclear agreement.
"We have a president who is tough. We have a president who is as committed to regime change as we are," Giuliani said at a conference organized in Washington by the Organization of Iranian-American Communities, according to Bloomberg.
"What's going to happen to that agreement?" Giuliani asked the group before pantomiming spitting on a piece of paper meant to represent the 2015 nuclear accord, drawing raucous cheers.
In a conversation with reporters after the speech, Giuliani said he based his comments on the known positions on Iran of Trump, National Security Adviser John Bolton and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, not on any special information gleaned from within the White House about the administration's plans.
Trump has imposed a May 12 deadline to reimpose sanctions on Iran unless the flaws in the existing agreement are fixed.
Pompeo recently said that Trump has not yet made a final decision on the matter but is "unlikely" to stay in the Iran nuclear deal unless it is substantially fixed.
Giuliani himself has in the past spoken out against the Iran deal.

Non-alcoholic beers are often overlooked by brewers. The fact that they've made it non-alcoholic should be good enough for you, right? Open Gate has a different vision: great beer should be great beer regardless of the alcohol. That's what makes this one so surprisingly good – even if you don't get a buzz. This brew, which took two years to craft, offers some fruity aromas to start along with a malty finish.

The problem with "small spaces" is that everyone has a different sense of what "small" means. There are lots of folks with pretty large homes where they seem to be struggling with storage and there are folks in pretty tight spaces that seem to work out storage just fine. I suppose it's based on what you are used to that makes the difference to the space.
When we first came to look at this space, the owners had yet to take possession, but we were pretty sure we were going to have to remove at least one wall, so we could have three defined spaces of the main floor, but still feeling like one large room. We figured out our first challenge when we visited the large house they were moving from. They wanted a house where they could lock the door and head off. The old house was too much work now that the kids were off to school or work.
The wall that separated the small kitchen from the dining room and the living room made for a cramped and cut off kitchen from the rest of the space. It also made the main floor look smaller than it needed to be. The lack of storage the kitchen provided was another challenge. She liked to be able to cook, and while there wasn't enough seating for a big group, the function of the kitchen was still very important to her. Storage was clearly going to be something to be addressed in this area. We also had to find space for the many books they collected over the years.
In any small open-concept space, you have to create zones that will act as specific rooms. The back of the sofa in this case, creates the hallway that allows you to get from the front door to the kitchen and stairs going to the second floor of the house. The electrical box for the chandelier of the dining room indicates the locations of the dining table as does the furniture that sits in that space. The kitchen peninsula separates the dining room from the kitchen but they are open to each other. When you're planning this kind of space you have to figure out first how the rooms will be used and then how people will walk around in the rooms. For example, no one is comfortable walking though the middle of a living room to get to the kitchen, so they will search for a way around it. The furniture and carpets are the objects that indicate the rooms and hallways, hence the traffic patterns. If you put the furniture in odd spots, the room will always feel "awkward".
The space is still one big room the way to make it work is to repeat element from one section of the room in other sections of the room. We needed more storage in the kitchen so we extended the kitchen cabinets into the dining room using the same finish that was used on the original kitchen cabinets. We didn't want to have the dining room to feel like it was stuck in the kitchen, so we implied a side board in the centre of the dining cabinets where we put a large mirror to reflect the room and make it feel bigger. Behind the mirror we painted the wall in the same colour that the fireplace wall is painted.
Basically by pulling the kitchen into the dining room, the dining room into the kitchen, the living into the dining, creates a visual balance between the rooms.
In the living room, we centred the furniture on the fireplace. The fireplace wasn't perfectly centred on the wall it was on, so to deal with that issue and the need for books and more storage, we built cabinets and shelves on either side of the fireplace. The books shelves are different levels and sizes to create a more interesting wall and to make it different from the kitchen cabinets. The size differences also hide the different sizes on either side of the fireplace. The bottom sections of the shelves are cabinets that have no hardware on the doors, to maintain a clean look. We get storage for the kitchen and the dining room as well as a bunch of other things required on the main floor. The sofa and chairs create a living room and what remains are three different rooms that each over lap into the next. Using the height of the walls is the best way to deal with storage. You don't walk on the walls so use that space for storage as there is only one floor surface, but four walls!
Their paired down life, now fits their new space, and they are free to travel without worrying. If you lived overseas this would be a huge place. Fortunately for our home owners, it seems like a great thing to have so little to have to worry about!
These are great tricks of the trade that you can apply to your home. Visit eieihome directory listing of interior designers to get your small space solutions today!


Tal Goldsmith Fish Design Studio have designed a house for a couple that decided to work from home, so they could spend more time with their young children.
The home has an open plan dining/living area, that allows the parents to keep an eye on the children from their offices behind the glass and aluminium partitions seen on the left.
The home has a combined dining room and kitchen, with the dining room kept bright, and the kitchen featuring darker materials to define the spaces.
Sculptural black pendant lights create some drama above the dining area.
Glimpses of the home office are possible, but remain mostly hidden behind the partitions.
The living room features a custom white geometric bookshelf, made from aluminum, it weighs approximately half a ton, and is a single unit so that it doesn't have any complicated connections.
The bookshelf, fireplace, and backyard are all visible from the home office.
Located between the office and the living room are the stairs leading to the second floor.
On the second floor, the parents have a master suite that features a lofted ceiling and lots of light.
A wall of cabinets give the parents plenty of storage. A chest of drawers separates the space, and doubles as a headboard for the bed.
The master bathroom features one type of stone that has been used for the floor, walls, sinks and countertop.
The stone has also been used for the shower that features a built-in seat.
The reason so much of the same stone was used, is it is believed it will create a calm, monotonous, and pleasant environment.
In a second bathroom, a wood feature wall becomes a focal point.
Outside, the backyard features a covered patio with a fan to help keep the space cool.
A simple modern fence separates the backyard from the neighbors, with planters that will grow to create some privacy.
The backyard also features a built-in outdoor kitchen, with a sink and two burners for cooking.

The playoff road to a three-peat begins here for Steph Curry, Klay Thompson and the Golden State Warriors. As recently as a week or so ago, it looked like the Oklahoma City Thunder might end up as the number eight seed. The Warriors are likely relieved to instead be facing the Los Angeles Clippers.
We have heard plenty of speculation about Golden State's regular season boredom but they have been able to dial up the intensity in big moments – for example, their recent beatdowns against the Denver Nuggets. There is nothing to suggest that they cannot flip the playoff switch, and we have seen flashes of the suffocating defense that supports the potent offense.
Kevin Durant's looming free agency has seemingly been a source of tension in the Warriors' locker room this season and there is a growing sense that this could be his last playoff run with the team. In fact, it was in the overtime loss to the Clippers back in November that Durant and Draymond Green had their infamous fallout which threatened to tear the team apart. Internal drama is the number one worry for Golden State – and the Clippers' Patrick Beverley is just the type of opponent who could stir up trouble.
Doc Rivers has done an outstanding job with this Los Angeles roster, keeping the team on track even after the Tobias Harris trade. While the Warriors have the All-Star starting group, the Clippers can counter with their depth and flexibility. They will need to make some runs when Lou Williams and Montrezl Harrell are on the court against some of the Golden State second unit. Rivers may also need to tweak his starting line-up to better match up with Golden State (more Beverley, more Harrell).
This matchup is about as daunting as it gets for a rookie making his playoff debut, but Gilgeous-Alexander has already taken so much in his stride this season. He will need to be on point on both ends against Curry, who shot 43.7% from behind the arc this year and is a threat to heat up at any moment. No doubt, Beverley will also take on the defensive assignment against Curry at times too. The downside is that the more attention Curry receives, the likelier it is that Thompson and Durant get great looks - pick your poison.
3-1 to the Warriors. There is evidence from this season that the Clippers can create some problems, having beaten Golden State in overtime and falling just short in another contest. Few teams can hang with the Warriors in a shootout, but Williams, Danilo Gallinari and company are more than capable of cracking the 120-point mark.
Warriors in 5. The smart money says that Golden State will jump out to a 2-0 lead but a sweep feels like a step too far. Either way, we should get some physical, high-scoring games which will tell us plenty about how ready the Warriors are to go all the way again.

'Hamilton' To Hold Fundraiser For Hillary: Tickets Go As High As $100K

The broadway musical "Hamilton" will hold a special show to raise funds for Hillary Clinton.
On the presumptive Democrat nominee's website are details about the special performance for Clinton on July 12 titled "Hamilton: An American Musical with special guest Hillary Rodham Clinton," according to the Hollywood Reporter. (RELATED: Obama's Former Aide Calls Trump 'A Political Kardashian)

Tickets start at $2,700 a seat and go as high as $100,000 for a chair, which will get attendees to a wrap party with Clinton and tickets to the Democratic National Convention next month in Philadelphia. (RELATED: 'Hamilton' Star Dedicates His Acceptance Speech To Victims Of Orlando Attack)
But those hoping to see the stars of the broadway hit like Lin-Manuel Miranda, Leslie Odom, Jr. or Phillipa Soo, will be disappointed as they are not believed to be coming back for the special event after leaving from their final show on July 9, as they announced last week.

The Fabic Journal of Lasting Behaviour Change offers a range of academic style journals showcasing clinical approaches that bring about lasting behaviour change.
Fabic has had the privilege of working with clients that have often reported that they 'have been everywhere else', coming in all but given up - yet still there is a glimmer of hope as they have turned up for their appointment. The unique methodology offered at Fabic is bringing behaviour change in situations where all other attempts have failed. Fabic Journals of Lasting Behaviour Change will offer a documentation of cases where lasting behaviour change has been achieved with an array of clients from all ages, demographics, genders, diagnosis or no diagnosis.
Note: Articles do not carry any identifying information as all details have been changed in consideration of clients confidentiality.
Treatment of any unwanted behaviour, in particular, those behaviours related to eating disorders such as anorexia, bulimia and obesity is frequently based on a model of attempting to change behaviour, without first understanding the root cause for the behaviour. With this approach, the treatment offered is intermittently successful, appearing to work for some and not others, with relapse occurring frequently.


Lots of folks got the Doodle Devo Calendar this year and have been asking what my calendar looks like. So I thought I'd post it today. I love this calendar and I loved using bright colors to cheer me up all year long. I used colored ink pens and made use of patterns and using multiple colors in one section to add more depth and interest. If you'd like to doodle you own calendar, they are still available at the Blessinks Store.
Be sure to tune in next week for the second installment of our yearlong study of the Character of God. You can get the cover for this Doodle Devo titled Known here. You'll can find last Friday's blog post for ideas on how to complete your own cover.


Will Leafs And Canucks Win Through Injury?
Toronto and Vancouver clearly miss their top centers. Auston Matthews from the Leafs deals with an upper body injury while Bo Horvat needs time to mend a broken ankle before returning to Vancouver. The absence of these two stars underscores their importance to their teams, along with the significance of strength down the middle in the NHL.
Vancouver also struggles with the loss of Baertschi, which is partly responsible for their recent losing streak. Over their past three games, Toronto has averaged one goal per game without Auston, beating Edmonton but losing two in a row this week. These teams must find a way to win without top forwards, or discover how to heal injuries within 24 hours.
There's still no word on the availability of Auston Matthews, who's missed the last three games with an upper body injury. Without their best forward, the Maple Leafs have lost two in a row, including a shutout against the Wild last night. This evening, the Red Wings will greet a tired and undermanned Toronto squad. Detroit's won a single game in their last eleven, and Toronto's beaten the Red Wings five times in a row, so pick the Leafs for a straight up win.
Vancouver will need to find a way to fill the gap created by injuries to their top-line center and top-six winger. Bo Horvat and Sven Baertschi won't return anytime soon from their broken ankle and jaw, and the Canucks have responded to these injuries with a four-game loss streak. San Jose's rolling along in the Pacific, earning a 6-2-2 mark over their last ten games. Pick the Sharks puckline to leverage Vancouver's injuries as much as possible.
Los Angeles has the best record in the NHL over the last ten games, earning an 8-1-1 line to boost them ahead of the Golden Knights for the lead in the Pacific Division. The Kings travel to Madison Square Garden for a Friday night clash against the Rangers. These teams have split six meetings after the Kings beat the Rangers for the 2014 Stanley Cup, with the last two games going to the Rangers. Since Los Angeles possesses one of the best away records in the NHL, lean towards a straight up win for the Kings.
Dallas has improved their play on the road, winning three of their last four away games, including victories over the Islanders and the Rangers. The Devils have been fading a bit over past couple of weeks, while the Stars have earned a solid 7-3-0 record over the past ten games. Seven of the past eight meetings between Dallas and New Jersey have been one-goal games, which makes a straight up win the better selection.
The Buffalo Sabres have the fewest points in the eastern conference, but it's not because of a lack of effort. Before losing to Philly last night, the Sabres earned points in three consecutive games. Carolina's also a young team, but the Hurricanes appear to be a season ahead of the Sabres in terms of the development of young players. Carolina has also defeated the Sabres in four consecutive games, making a straight up victory for the 'Canes a solid selection.
The Sabres have been one of the wrost teams in the NHL against the spread, and the Hurricanes have beaten Buffalo by two or more goals in three consecutive meetings. Buffalo's further disadvantaged because they played a tough game against the Flyers last night. Fatigue will help the Canes pick apart the Sabres on Friday.

Channel 5 'still in discussions' about return of live feed for Big Brother 2011
Posted June 25, 2011 09:00 by Josh Darvill
Big Brother producer Katy Smith has revealed that live feed for the new series of the show on Channel is still "being discussed", despite previous claims that it would return. It was reported back in April that the new series would see an updated streaming system, with multiple cameras accessed from an online control panel.
Viewers were said to be able to choose which rooms to watch or which housemates to follow, but Katy told the Daily Star today: "It's being discussed."
She added: "I think there is a definite bonus to streaming, but if it doesn't happen there are always ways around it."
Online streaming for the show was axed back in Big Brother 9, returning only for the final series last year.
Meanwhile Katy promised that the show would be "completely different" this year thanks to the season change. Previously Big Brother has always aired in the summer, now however the series will run from August until November.
"We want Big Brother to be fun and entertaining this year," she said, "We are used to seeing BB in the summer and CBB in the winter, but this year it's going to be completely different.
"I guess the girls can still wear bikinis inside the house in winter. We'll just pump the heating up."
Big Brother starts on Channel 5 later this year.

Q: Run `wp_insert_post_data` on all posts I have a bunch of regular expressions that I want to run on my posts to update the post_content field, when a series of conditions are met, some of them require a combination of various values from ACF. Long story short I need a way to be able to programmatically edit the content of all my posts using preg_replace
I've been learning about the wp_insert_post_data filter, and it works, but it only works for the current post that is being edited. Is there any way to do this in WordPress where I can loop through all posts and update the content similarly?
Here's what I currently have.
add_filter('wp_insert_post_data', 'mystuff', 99, 2);
function mystuff($data, $post)
{
    $content = $data['post_content'];
    $regex = '/MYCRAZYREGEXSTUFF/';
    $match = preg_match($regex, $content, $matches);
    if ($match) {
        $updatedContent = preg_replace($regex, '', $content);
        $data['post_content'] = $updatedContent;
    }
    return $data;
}

A: I ended up just writing a function inside of my template's index.php like this.
function fancySearchAndReplace() {
    $regex = '/myregex/';
    $my_posts = get_posts(array('post_type' => 'post', 'numberposts' => -1));
    foreach ($my_posts as $post) {
        $content = $post->post_content;
        $theID = $post->ID;
        $thing = get_field('thing', $theID);
        $updatedContent = preg_replace($regex, $thing, $content);
        wp_update_post(array(
            'ID' => $theID,
            'post_content' => $updatedContent,
        ));
    }
}

Yesterday I got captivated by the Michael Jackson trial. Not because I am overwhelmed by the pop star nor am I a addict for court tv. But I knew that one of Jackson's bodyguards, who apparently assisted Doctor Murray, would be on the stand testifying for the prosecution.
His testimony was a clear sign of what I wrote on called the Gradient Scale. Even as went over the moments when he was told to go into the residence you could clearly see him relive the moments physically. The prosecutor asked him had he ever been asked to do any interviews to which he stated, "Yes, approximately 30." Then the prosecutor asked if he had been asked to do interviews for payment. He replied, "Yes about 9 or 10 times." He went on to say that on one occasion he was told he would receive $200, 000 for one interview and $500,000 for another, yet he declined. In the midst of other bodyguards that went on a "Let me tell you about Michael Jackson" tour, Mr. Alzarez fought off the temptation for an easy pay day and walk. Bravo Sir!
I was so captured by his professionalism and integrity that when I got in my car I could not help myself. I pulled over and pulled out my iphone and videotaped my first impromptu taping for the BPISecurity YouTube Channel. Although I had planned to do more planned videos, tutorials etc., I was so taken by his character that I had to give him my first addition to the channel.
Granted, Mr. Alvarez still has to face the defense attorney angle at punching holes in his memory of the facts and his story line, I had to applaud his maintenance of what inner integrity he had. Mr. Alvarez went on to say that since that dreadful day, he has fallen into financial strife and unable to get work. Mr. Alvarez has the core foundation of what this industry is missing. I can not speak to his training or anything else, but in the current day atmosphere of celebrity protection he is an anomaly.

Several years ago now, when my father's health was declining, my mother found herself carrying the heavy load of caregiver along with her other daily responsibilities. Eventually, it became apparent to all in our family, that she was in need of a time of respite. My mother asked my sister and I to return home, care for our father, and give her some much needed time away. We agreed and hesitantly, she packed her bags and headed for the home of my father's sister.
Each evening, my mother would call to check on my father and to see how things were in her absence. The first few phone calls confirmed that we had made the right decision in "sending" her away. Her voice still sounded tired and she mentioned she was sleeping a lot. Several days into her trip, however, after some much needed rest and relaxation, her phone conversations became more lively, full of laughter and excitement. My aunt, her hostess, was going out of her way to make sure my mom was waited on hand and foot and my mom seemed to be thoroughly enjoying this arrangement. Each day she would tell of the delicious food they ate, the wonderful places they visited, and the lavish attention my aunt was giving her. One night after speaking with my mom, and hearing all about her day, my dad asked to speak to his sister, the gracious hostess. What he told her made us all laugh.
"Don't be spoiling her too much now. I'm the one who has to live with her, you know!" Of course, he was teasing, but the thought behind the laugh opened my mind to a spiritual truth. Too much of a good thing can become a bad thing.
More than my aunt wanted to bless my mother, God longs to bless us. He delights in showering His children with blessings. Yet, even something as beautiful as a heavenly blessing, when given to a heart that fails to recognize or appreciate it, can begin to have a very repulsive human stinch. We have all smelled it and it isn't pretty. No wonder we refer to someone in this condition as "spoiled".
Other times, however, the problem is not that we don't notice the blessings. Quite the opposite. Oddly enough, when we have received so bountifully from the hand of God we can come to a place in our relationship with the Lord where we begin to expect such blessings, then become bitter when they don't rain down on us as we feel they should. We become spoiled by the selfless love of our gracious God and our actions and attitude attest to it!
Yes, God loves to lavish gifts upon his children, but like my father, He is very wise. He understands what we don't. The rest of the world has to live with us!

Formula D is een bordspel voor 2 tot 10 spelers, uitgebracht in 1990. Het is een simulatie van een formuleracing wedstrijd zoals onder andere Formule 1. Voorheen had het spel de naam Formula Dé.

Geschiedenis
Het spel werd in de jaren 80 ontwikkeld door Eric Randall en Laurent Lavaur. Na een lange testperiode werd het spel op de markt gebracht in het jaar 1990 door uitgeverij Ludodélire. Op dat moment bevatte het spel slechts één dobbelsteen. Later ging uitgeverij Descartes het spel verdelen en momenteel wordt het spel uitgegeven door Asmodée Editions, die de naam veranderde van Formula Dé naar Formula D.

Overzicht
Uitgangspunt van het spel is een simulatie van een Formuleracing wedstrijd. De bedoeling is dat spelers door het parcours zo goed mogelijk in te schatten, hun wagen snel en zo ongeschonden mogelijk naar de eindmeet sturen.

De Spelborden
De spellendoos bevat twee circuits, Monaco en Zandvoort. Andere circuits werden later uitgegeven. Uitgeverij Ludodélire heeft 14 spelborden uitgegeven, die enkel aan één kant bedrukt waren. Uitgeverij Descartes gaf dezelfde borden opnieuw uit, maar drukte de circuits af aan twee kanten zodat elk spelbord twee circuits bevatte. In totaal bracht deze uitgeverij 17 sets (37 circuits) op de markt. Uitgeverij Asmodée Editions gaf enkele borden opnieuw uit met een vernieuwde lay-out en ging verder met het uitgeven van nieuwe circuits.

 Basisset : Monaco + Nederland, Zandvoort (1)
 Set 1 : Nederland, Zandvoort (2) + België, Spa-Francorchamps
 Set 2 : Zuid-Afrika, Kyalami + San Marino, Imola
 Set 3 : Frankrijk, Magny-Cours + Italië, Monza
 Set 4 : Portugal, Estoril + Brazilië, Interlagos
 Set 5 : Verenigde Staten, Watkins Glen International + Groot-Brittannië, Silverstone
 Set 6 : Canada, Montreal + Verenigde Staten, Long Beach
 Set 7 : Duitsland, Hockenheim + Oostenrijk, Zeltweg
 Set 8 : Argentinië, Buenos Aires + Spanje, Barcelona
 Set 9 : Japan, Suzuka + Australië, Melbourne
 Set 10 : Hongarije, Boedapest + Duitsland, Nürburgring
 Set 11 : Monterey + Portland + Elkhart Lake + Indianapolis
 Set 12 : Detroit + Lexington + Atlanta + Daytona Beach
 Set 13 : China, Zhuhai + Maleisië, Sepang
 Set 14 : Niet bestaand circuit, uitgegeven naar aanleiding van de 10de verjaardag van het spel.
 Set 15 : Bahrein, Sakhir + China, Shanghai
 Set Mini : Islands + Canyon
 Set 16 : Verenigde Staten, Sebring + Verenigde Staten, Chicago East Park

Andere attributen
Naast het spelbord bevat het spel 10 raceauto's en voor elke speler een dashboard, waarop aangegeven wordt in welke versnelling zich men bevindt en om de schadepunten (structuurpunten) aan te geven. Verder zijn er 6 verschillende dobbelstenen, een D2, D4, D8, D12, D20 en D30, respectievelijk om in eerste, tweede, derde, vierde, vijfde en zesde versnelling te rijden. Het originele spel had echter alleen een D20 en er werd dan gewerkt met een tabel per versnelling op het dashboard, om het exacte aantal te zetten vakjes te bepalen. Deze speelwijze met één enkele dobbelsteen geniet bij sommigen nog de voorkeur.

De spelregels
De spellendoos bevat de "basisspelregels", de "volledige spelregels" en de "optionele regels". Verder zijn er ook veel spelers en spellenclubs die hun eigen huisregels hanteren.

Het spel
De spelers kiezen welke spelregels ze willen hanteren, de "basisspelregels" of de "volledige spelregels", eventueel aangevuld met de "optionele regels" zoals die beschreven zijn in het reglement. Men kan aanvullend ook eigen "huisregels" afspreken. In de basisregels is er sprake van een race over 1 of 2 ronden, in de volledige spelregels gaat de race over 3 ronden.

Voorbereiding
Bij aanvang van het spel werpt iedere speler een D20. De speler met de hoogste worp, staat op poleposition, de tweede hoogste worp staat op de tweede plaats, enzoverder. Spelers met een gelijke worp, werpen nog eens om hun onderlinge plaatsen te bepalen. Dan kan de race van start gaan.

Weersomstandigheden
In de optionele regels kan gekozen worden om weersomstandigheden te laten spelen, dan gaat de spelleider bij aanvang van het spel een dobbelsteen werpen om het weer te bepalen, daarna kiest elke speler een type band. Het weer kan droog zijn, het kan regenen of het kan variabel zijn. In dat laatste geval is het droog maar kan dat in de loop van het spel veranderen naar regenweer. Het weer heeft vooral effect op de banden en daarom zijn er drie bandentypen waaruit gekozen kan worden.

Bandenkeuze
In de volledige regels is er de mogelijkheid om te kiezen tussen drie verschillende bandentypen, zachte, harde en regenbanden. Elke band heeft zijn voor- en nadelen.

Harde banden: 1 schadepunt per vakje overschrijding uit een bocht, bij regenweer moet er bij elke beurt 3 vakjes extra gezet worden.
Zachte banden: 2 schadepunten per vakje overschrijding uit een bocht, elke beurt mag er één vakje extra gezet worden, echter enkel in de eerste ronde waarin de banden gebruikt worden, in de tweede ronde verdwijnt dit voordeel, in de derde ronde moet er telkens een vakje minder gezet worden. Bij regenweer moet er net als bij de harde band, 3 vakjes extra gezet worden in elke beurt.
Regenbanden: Bij droog en wisselvallig weer genereren regenbanden 2 schadepunten per vakje overschrijding uit een bocht. Bij regenweer is er maar 1 schadepunt per vakje overschrijding uit een bocht en moet er maar 1 vakje extra gezet worden elke beurt, in tegenstelling met de andere bandentypen, die elke beurt drie extra vakjes moeten zetten en zo moeilijker de bochten doorkomen.

Versnellingen
Elke speler speelt op zijn beurt door het gooien van de dobbelsteen nadat hij of zij een versnelling op of af heeft geschakeld, of door in dezelfde versnelling te blijven. Het minimaal en maximaal aantal te zetten vakjes in de zes respectievelijke versnellingen is als volgt verdeeld:

 Eerste versnelling: 1 tot 2 vakjes
 Tweede versnelling: 2 tot 4 vakjes
 Derde versnelling: 4 tot 8 vakjes
 Vierde versnelling: 7 tot 12 vakjes
 Vijfde versnelling: 11 tot 20 vakjes
 Zesde versnelling: 21 tot 30 vakjes

Start van de race
De speler die op poleposition staat, gaat eerst controleren of hij kan starten. Daarvoor werpt hij een D20. Wanneer er een 1 geworpen wordt, is er sprake van een valse start en mag er niet vertrokken worden. Er wordt dan een beurt overgeslagen, maar er mag de volgende ronde automatisch in eerste versnelling vertrokken worden zonder een nieuwe check. Wanneer de worp tussen de 2 en 16 is, vindt er een normale start plaats en mag de speler in eerste versnelling vertrekken. Bij een worp van 17 tot 20 is er sprake van een doorstart en mag de speler 4 vakjes vooruit zetten. Daarna doet de tweede op de startgrid hetzelfde en zo verder.

De bochten
Wanneer een bocht aangesneden wordt, moet de speler één, twee of drie beurten in die bocht blijven rijden, zoals aangegeven op het spelbord, zonder de bocht te overschrijden. Daarna kan er op de volgende rechte lijn weer versneld worden tot de volgende bocht enzoverder. Wanneer er in een bocht één of meerdere vakken overschreden worden, ontstaan er schadepunten op de banden. Wanneer alle structuurpunten voor banden zijn opgebruikt maakt de wagen een spin en moet hij terug uit eerste versnelling vertrekken. Wanneer er meer schadepunten dan het aantal banden zijn, ligt de auto uit de race.

Structuurpunten
Structuurpunten of schadepunten zijn een aantal punten die een speler tot zijn of haar beschikking heeft om opgelopen schade te compenseren. In de basisregels worden er per spelers 18 structuurpunten verdeeld zonder verdere onderverdeling. Echter bij de volledige regels krijgt een speler 20 structuurpunten die onderverdeeld zijn in zes categorieën. De structuurpunten van elke categorie kunnen dan maar gebruikt worden om specifieke schade te herstellen. Dit zijn de 6 categorieën:

 Banden: Bij het ongeoorloofd overschrijden van een bocht : 1 structuurpunt in mindering per vakje.
 Remmen: Om een vakje minder te kunnen zetten.
 Versnellingsbak of verbruik: Om een extra versnelling te kunnen terugschakelen.
 Carrosserie: Om blikschade op te vangen.
 Motor: Om schade aan de motor op te vangen.
 Wegligging: Schade na het rijden over een brokstuk.

De volledige regels geven een verdelingen van de 20 structuurpunten als volgt weer: 6 punten voor banden, 2 punten voor wegligging en 3 punten voor remmen, versnellingsbak, carrosserie en motor. Het is echter gangbaar dat spelers zelf mogen kiezen hoe ze de 20 punten verdelen, zolang elk onderdeel minstens 2 punten toebedeeld krijgt.

Op en af schakelen
Bij aanvang van iedere beurt voor het werpen van de dobbelsteen mag de speler 1 versnelling hoger of lager schakelen of ervoor kiezen om in dezelfde versnelling te blijven. Het is nooit mogelijk om twee versnellingen tegelijk op te schakelen, het is wel mogelijk om meerdere versnellingen tegelijk af te schakelen, mits het betalen van structuurpunten. Dit moet in deze volgorde gebeuren:

 1 versnelling afschakelen: gratis
 2 versnellingen afschakelen: kost 1 versnellingsbak
 3 versnellingen afschakelen: kost 1 versnellingsbak en 1 rem
 4 versnellingen afschakelen: kost 1 versnellingsbak, 1 rem en 1 motor

Motorschade
Wanneer een speler die in vijfde of zesde versnelling rijdt het maximum werpt, moeten alle spelers die in vijfde of zesde versnelling staan een motorcheck doen. Elke speler die 1 tot 4 gooit met een D20 verliest een structuurpunt motor.

Blikschade
Wanneer twee auto's in aangrenzende vakjes terechtkomen, moeten beide spelers een carrosserie check doen. Ze werpen een D20 en wanneer de worp een 1 is, dan verliest de speler een structuurpunt carrosserie. Op de plaats van de blikschade wordt er een brokstukje gelegd.

Wegligging
Wanneer een auto blikschade oploopt of wanneer een wagen uitvalt, wordt er op de plaats waar dat gebeurde een brokstuk gelegd. Spelers kunnen deze brokstukken ontwijken, maar dat is niet altijd mogelijk of wenselijk. (bijvoorbeeld, misschien haalt men net een bocht door over een brokstuk te rijden) Elke keer een speler over een brokstuk rijdt, moet hij of zij een check doen. Er wordt een D20 geworpen, bij 1 tot 4 verliest de speler een structuurpunt wegligging.

Pitstop
Bij een race van 2 of meer ronden heeft elke speler de mogelijkheid om de pitstraat binnen te rijden en herstellingen te laten uitvoeren in zijn of haar pitbox. Een speler kan kiezen om alleen alle banden te vervangen en meteen ook van bandentype te veranderen en dan kan hij de volgende beurt weer meteen vertrekken. Hij kan ook beslissen om gelijktijdig ook nog 2 andere structuurpunten te herstellen, in dat geval slaat hij een beurt over en blijft hij een beurt langer in de pit staan. Vertrekken uit de pit mag steeds in vierde versnelling of lager.

Einde van de race
De speler die als eerste de afgesproken aantal te rijden ronden heeft afgelegd, is de winnaar van de race. De andere spelers spelen daarna verder tot iedereen de finish heeft bereikt.

Extra regels

Spoiler
De spoiler regel was een onderdeel van de spelregels, echter bij de editie van Asmodée Editions is deze spelregel geschrapt. De speler kiest om zijn spoiler omhoog of omlaag te zetten. Wanneer de spoiler omhoog wordt gezet kan de speler ervoor kiezen om in elke beurt een vakje minder te zetten wanneer het hem of haar beter uitkomt, echter er is dan een beperkte snelheid wanneer men in vierde (maximaal 11 vakjes), vijfde (maximaal 18 vakjes) en zesde versnelling (maximaal 26 vakjes) rijdt.

Kampioenschap
Spelers die regelmatig bij elkaar komen om het spel te spelen kunnen ervoor kiezen om een kampioenschap over een heel jaar te spelen. Na elke race worden er punten verdeeld zoals dat gebeurt in Formule 1. De winnaar van de race krijgt 10 punten, de tweede 8, de derde 6, de vierde krijgt nog 5 punten en de vijfde tot de achtste krijgen respectievelijk 4,3,2 en 1 punt. De rijder die na een volledig seizoen de meeste punten bij elkaar heeft geracet, is kampioen.

Real-time Embedded Systems is a reactive systems characterized by a continuous interaction with their environment. They typically continuously receive inputs from their environment and, usually within quite a short delay, react on these inputs. Correctness and well-functioning of this reactive systems is crucial. To obtain correctly functioning and dependable reactive systems, a coherent and well-defined methodology is needed in which different phases can be distinguished. In this paper, we identify various approaches for Real-time Embedded Systems Modelling, phases of development for a correctly functioning and dependable reactive systems and benefits of model checking.


Rep. Peter King (R-NY) wrote to Hillary Clinton yesterday urging the Obama Administration to declare Wikileaks a terrorist organization.
Rep. Peter King (R-N.Y.), the incoming chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, called for U.S. officials to get aggressive against Wikileaks after the website published highly-sensitive, classified diplomatic cables that reveal frank assessments of foreign leaders and the war on terror.
"I am calling on the attorney general and supporting his efforts to fully prosecute Wikileaks and its founder for violating the Espionage Act. And I'm also calling on Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to declare Wikileaks a foreign terrorist organization," King said on WNIS radio on Sunday evening.
Wikileaks has released thousands of cables that reveal embarrassing comments about foreign leaders and U.S. operations abroad. The White House and Clinton have been forced to conduct an outreach campaign to smooth the waters.
The Obama administration hasn't taken legal action against Wikileaks, but has condemned the release in the harshest terms. But the clamor for legal action by lawmakers in both parties increased the pressure for prosecution based on the leaks.

More information about encouraging girls' participation in advanced maths
We're pleased to have expanded the information available on our website about girls' participation, with the aim of providing you with the latest research, resources and strategies to encourage students, in particular female students, to continue studying maths beyond GCSE.
The section is organised into four areas:
Research – What we have learnt
Data – Where we are now and how we got here
Strategies – What you could try that we know works
Resources – What we have to help
The collection of resources is extensive, but designed so that you can use the resources flexibly.
For example, if you're looking for a general overview of how gender impacts participation in mathematics then the place to start is the Girls' participation in advanced maths factsheet. This contains information on the five factors that are known to affect participation (attainment, enjoyment, perceived competence, interest, and awareness of the utility of maths), the current picture of participation in level 3 maths across the country, and some general strategies that are known to be effective in encouraging girls to study maths further.
The 'Research' section of the webpage provides links to the evidence that the factsheet is based upon but, like each of the four sections, there is an opportunity to 'Dig deeper' and explore other relevant research into gender and participation in maths (and other STEM subjects).
The 'Strategies' section enables you to review your own, or your department's, current practice and identify aspects to develop.
The 'Data' section gives an insight into levels of female participation at both a national, local and school level.
In the 'Resources' section, you'll find AMSP resources that are designed to increase student awareness of the utility of maths and support the suggested strategies for increasing participation. If you 'Dig deeper' in this section, you'll find links to videos, literature, display materials and enrichment activities that you can use with students that include information on potential careers and the post-16 maths options that are available.
The best way to find out more is to take a look for yourself. Hopefully, you'll find plenty of strategies that are readily resourced and easy to implement. We're always keen to hear from teachers about how we can support you further; if you have any queries or suggestions, then please get in touch at [email protected].

CHILD SUPPORT IN OAKLAND PARK FLORIDA
Child Support is a sensitive issue, but it is detrimental to the overall wellness and future stability of that Child. When a marriage ends and children are involved, a process is set in place to provide for that child. Child support is in place to do what is best for the dependent party, and that can include financial aid. These supports are awarded in regard to a healthy living environment and should sustain doing so.
CHILD SUPPORT SERVICES IN OAKLAND PARK FLORIDA
Child support services regard maintenance and enforcement of a child support payment. This is an ongoing, periodic payment made by a parent to provide a financial benefit to the child involved. This is for the wellness of the child and the stability of a home environment expected for growth and development. When you are seeking child support services in the Oakland Park Florida area, it may be arranged as part of a divorce, marital separation, or annulment.
CHILD SUPPORT REDUCTION IN OAKLAND PARK FL
A child support order is a court order agreed upon by a judge. This means to reduce or amend an agreement; a judge must approve the change to the original order. Like all aspects of law, legal consultation and representation is recommended. Sean Gentile will do not only what is best for the represented parties, but also what is best for the dependent party involved.
CHILD SUPPORT MODIFICATION IN OAKLAND PARK FLORIDA
Child support approved by a court order may be modified over time if the parties involved have a changed situation that needs to be addressed. These can include changes in financial stability, job loss or gain, or changes to the dependent party's living situation. When these problems arise, child support may be modified to reflect these changes. This can be an increase in child support to help maintain a healthy environment, or a reduction to reflect the changes in the financial stability of an independent party. The dependent child is always taken into the highest consideration by the judge when modifying child support.
CHILD SUPPORT COLLECTION IN OAKLAND PARK FL
Collection of child support should be made periodically for the dependent child's stability and growth. This periodic payment can be enforced and collected if back payments have yet to be seen. If the non-custodial parent fails to pay the court ordered child support, the custodial parent knows that they are supported by federal and state laws. Strict mandates provide a procedure to deal with delinquent child support payments. Sean Gentile can provide both consultation and representation in such cases.
DIVORCE MEDIATION IN OAKLAND PARK FLORIDA
In terms of splitting up assets in a divorce, the ideal situation would be mutual agreements in all areas of concern. A divorce mediator can help facilitate this mutually beneficial settlement. In divorce mediation, both independent parties look to the neutral mediator for guidance in finding this acceptable agreement. Sean Gentile can expedite this process by communicating and negotiating terms with the respected parties, however, the final decision is, of course, left up to them.
CHEAP DIVORCE IN OAKLAND PARK FL
Many have heard of the complex connotations around getting a divorce. But divorce doesn't always have to be a grueling process where both parties fight each other for assets. The cheapest and simplest way to get a divorce is through an uncontested divorce. It's inexpensive and offers both parties to end the marriage quickly and without difficulties. In an uncontested divorce, both spouses agree on all issues concerning the termination of the relationship. This includes the division of marital property and debts, child custody, child support, and spousal alimony. Although the ideal situation would involve both parties mutually agreeing. Sometimes, that is not the case. No matter the situation, Sean Gentile is here to help facilitate the best possible outcome for all parties involved.
JOINT CUSTODY IN OAKLAND PARK FLORIDA
When referring to child custody, a child's time may be separated by a court order for joint custody. This means that both parents still have an equal right in decision making in regard to that child's legal representation. When a child has two custodial parents, each parent can represent that child on behalf of their wellbeing. This includes healthcare, education, and the right to grant the child permission to participate in various activities. Each parent remains an influence over the child's life, equally.
SHARED CUSTODY IN OAKLAND PARK FLORIDA
While joint custody refers to a child's legal representation, shared custody signifies the physical custody of a child. This is in regard to the amount of time spent with each parent. In a shared custody agreement, both parents would receive equal time to impact the child's life and spend time with them. Shared custody is ideal in situations where each parent is in an ideal financial situation, stable enough to provide a healthy environment for the child, no matter which parent they're with.
JOINT CUSTODY CHILD SUPPORT IN OAKLAND PARK FL
In a joint custody situation, child support is still an obligation needing to be addressed. Even when both parties share custody equally and split their time spent, one parent will most likely have to supplement part of the child's living environment. This means that when there is a financial gap between parental incomes, the more financially stable parent will provide a thriving environment for the child, no matter the household they reside at. Child support must still be paid to ensure the healthiest lifestyle for the child's future.

Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves,and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of people in their deceitful scheming. Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ. From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work."
Our job is to help individuals, couples, and families grow to maturity in Christ and be prepared for ministry!
