French side Marseille are set to re-ignite their interest in Celtic striker Moussa Dembele, but the Hoops aren't in the mood for selling this summer, say The Daily Record.
The paper say that a £10m deal for Nice striker Mario Balotelli is set to fall through, leaving Marseille in need of alternative options, and Dembele has moved up their list of potential targets.
French outlets claimed in March that the Ligue 1 side were interested in making a move for the 22-year-old although, like most reported interest in the the fan favourite, nothing concrete materialised.
The good news though is that, according to the report, Celtic are decidedly not interested in cashing in on him this summer, with Brendan Rodgers determined to keep a hold of all his best players this summer to progress in European competition.
Dembele's incredible debut season at the club left many in little doubt that he wouldn't spend much time at Celtic Park, but after an injury strewn second season he seems more motivated than ever to impress in the Hoops.
Unfortunately his early season form was cut short due to another hamstring issue, but set to return in two weeks time, he will hopefully play a vital role in the team throughout 2018/19.
All going well, we'll see him score many more goals than the 50 he has already netted in 90 appearances.
Dembele will still be with us till the end of this season.!. It will take at least 30 million to move him and Ithink he wants another treble! I predict that no Scottish club will beat us this season, if we continue to play with two up front, whither it be Dembele/ Frenchy or Griff. It really is working and the movement is terrific!! Keep it up Celts, and sevco will not allow anyone near the crumble dome. How anyone ever wants to go there , beats me. Asbestos dome. Falling too bite, just like the club!!!. Hail Hail.
Dembele is happy with the CELTS and he will be a better player with CELTIC FC, hail hail.

Background Although many reports have indicated the feasibility of laparoscopic gastrectomy (LG) regarding short-term surgical outcomes, the role of LG remains controversial because studies of long-term outcomes of LG are insufficient. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the long-term oncologic outcomes of patients who have undergone LG. Methods Between May 2003 and December 2009, 714 consecutive patients underwent LG for gastric cancer. After excluding operative mortality (n = 4) and a case of Krukenberg tumor that was not identified at the time of surgery (n = 1), a total of 709 patients were analyzed for long-term oncologic outcomes. Gastric cancer cases were analyzed according to the American Joint Committee on Cancer classification (seventh edition). Overall survival and relapse-free survival were estimated by using the Kaplan-Meier method. Results Median follow-up was 46.2 months. Postoperative recurrence was observed in 26 patients (3.7%). The instances of recurrence were as follows: seven peritoneal, six locoregional, five hematogenous, four distant lymph nodes, and four mixed recurrence. There were neither portsite nor wound site metastases. The 5-year relapse-free survival rates were: 95.8% in stage I, 83.4% in stage II, and 46.4% in stage III. Five-year overall survival rates were: 96.4% in stage I, 83.1% in stage II, and 50.2% in stage III. The independent risk factors for recurrence were T stage and N stage. For survival, age, T stage, and N stage were statistically independent prognostic factors Conclusions Our single-center study of a large patient series revealed that LG for gastric cancer had acceptable long-term oncologic outcomes comparable to those of conventional open surgery.

Q: Perhaps an application of Hardy's inequality
Let $f \in H_{0}^{1}(0,1)$ and $\lambda >0$ big enough. Consider $0 <\alpha < 1$ and some $k > 0$. I would like to show the following inequality
$$
\int_{\lambda^{-k}}^{1}|f(x)|^{2}dx \leq C\lambda^{-p}\int_{\lambda^{-k}}^{1}x^{\alpha}|f^{\prime}(x)|^{2}dx
$$
for some $p> 0$. Here, $C> 0$ is constant.

*

*I want to use the following Hardy's Inequalities:

Let $-\infty \leq a \leq b \leq \infty$, $g(x) \geq 0$,$h(x)\geq0$. Then the following statements are equivalent:
$$
\bigg(\int_{a}^{b}|Qu(x)|^{2}g(x)^{2}dx\bigg)^{\frac{1}{2}} \leq C\bigg(\int_{a}^{b}|u(x)|^{2}h(x)^{2}dx\bigg)^{\frac{1}{2}},
$$
$$
K = \sup_{x \in [a,b]}\bigg(\int_{a}^{x}[g(t)]^{2}dt\bigg)^{\frac{1}{2}}\bigg(\int_{x}^{b}[h(t)]^{-2}dt\bigg)^{\frac{1}{2}} < \infty ,
$$
where $Qu(x) = \int_{x}^{b}u(s)ds$. Moreover, the best constant $C$ satisfies $K \leq C \leq 2K$.

*

*How $f(1) = 0$, because $f \in H_{0}^{1}(0,1)$, then
$$
|f(x)| = |f(1) - f(x)|= \bigg|\int_{x}^{1}f^{\prime}(s)ds\bigg|= |Qf^{\prime}(x)|.
$$
Consider $h(x) = x^{\alpha/2}$, $g(x) =1$, $a=\lambda^{-k}$ and $b=1$.Thus, according to the inequality above, we would have to show that
$$
\sup_{x \in [\lambda^{-k},1]}\bigg(\int_{\lambda^{-k}}^{x}dt\bigg)^{\frac{1}{2}}\bigg(\int_{x}^{1}t^{-\alpha}dt\bigg)^{\frac{1}{2}} < \infty
$$
but it is clear that the supreme of the above product is finite. My big question is:
After applying Hardy's inequality, how do I get $\lambda^{-p}$ to appear in front of the integral.

DETROIT – Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford has set an NFL single-season record for pass attempts.
Stafford threw his 692nd pass in the first quarter against Chicago on Sunday, completing a 5-yarder to tight end Brandon Pettigrew. He surpasses the mark of 691 set by Drew Bledsoe of New England in 1994.
With star receiver Calvin Johnson having a record-settting season of his own — and with no consistent running game to balance the offense — Detroit has relied heavily on Stafford.
Johnson broke Jerry Rice's single-season mark for yards receiving last weekend.

TIME has to let Marjorie go. They are very sorry, they tell her, but she's trapped inside the minute—and possibly, very soon, she could fall prey to the second. She is infinite in the dogless dog park.
History repeats itself, Marjorie counters, but TIME, uncaring, has vanished already. Dogs expire all around her, in sister cities, slumped dead onto lawns, one of them smiling. Later, their humans mourn privately in bed, fantasizing about lost puppies or lovers. TIME, of one mind, lay waste indiscriminately.
Marjorie looks around at nothing, green rolling back, back, back into memory; she floats above the turbulent flow, watching dust storms level her hometown and flood surrounding counties.
TIME is bureaucratic, formless. Marjorie is human and different.
She stays looping nameless green until another interstellar body, the planet Simon, pulls her closer with a bigger gravity. He can't talk, mute from TIME. Lightyears on lightyears and almost out of fuel, Marjorie and Simon see the universe scooped inside a black hole. This shrinking world happens one summer expedition.
Simon chews on the cross necklace and Marjorie watches, rapt. She loves him in bible school, memories idling nearby, Simon suckling on the dangled cross like a constellation.
Hurt inside and out, she is weaker now more than ever, ripe for capture. The mircoworld assails her, latches on to her yellow dress, the earth in her breath. Simon holds Marjorie, laughing while they tumble out of orbit, the red shift of summer burning dogbones to a crisp.
The thing about TIME, it's a very intimidating pace. This is why it should only be visited once.
Watching stars etch meaning into blackened dust, she slips further into forgetting—a blanket whiteness spreading over the park.
Baby. . . Marjorie hates me. Honey, sweetheart, my sugar . . . Retching starts. Darling. . . Other voices, mocking. I'm glad we ran into each other. Never met before. I was saying. Look into Madame's psychic eyes. Marjorie, listen to me. Medium can't breathe from the occupation. Meet my gaze. Dead calm. That time before. Real low, the medium cracking. I loved. Not the same you. It's complicated. Marjorie's almost out of reach. Marjorie is here with us. Don't move. Stop, say it. Same time tomorrow. Clockwork, unwound. I have this belief. Don't try that. The planchette moved. No one talks. Absence of heaven. I saw everything. I healed you. Possession, brief. There's a lot of time until we can move. I froze. Marjorie is here with us. Madame this time. There's a whole school of trouble, if you wait. I should go. The doors. Slammed. Locked. Doors bolted, Madame mounts the table. I will boil your face skin, peel it from your skull. Escalation, near death. The blood will spray from your earholes. Unrealistic. A fourth meal. Someone's hungry for—broken plate zips into the floor. I don't understand. Madame worms along the floor. A hundred fiery. She can't finish. I'm leaving. The floor overrun by hell beetles. Goodbye love. I don't love you. Love awake for centuries. Marjorie is here with us. Take my bicuspids, worn from chewing. I won't. Take my tongue, sick of licking roomy bosoms. Madame has scissors, holds out her tongue, plump and red. Wrestled gone in the stores of mankind. She was only performing—a taunt. "Scissors." She holds up scissors, cuts away.


Go organic! Read how to creat a healthy body, Click Here!
You have probably read my previous posts for making Homemade Mozzarella using live cultures and perhaps you figure using cultures is my preferred method. However, there are those whom would rather use citric acid or maybe even lemon juice as an alternative. Both ways are acceptable and here in the United States, most mozzarella cheeses are made with citric acid. Ever wonder why mozzarella cheese at Publix or other grocery stores tastes kind of salty?
I have listed below how each method works because I believe that is important for you to understand the entire process to make a good cheese on a regular basis.
To begin with, it is necessary to use citric acid, lemon juice or other substances such as cultures to lower the ph to at least 5.2 because the pH needs to be at this level to stretch the cheese. Anything above 5.4 pH is difficult to stretch and anything below 5.0 will tend to be too soft and fall apart too easily during the stretch. I like my pH to be around 5.1 because it makes a softer cheese and is quite juicy after it's done. However, this can be quite subjective and most people like a range of 5.2. So, when using the citric acid method, you were basically putting a certain amount of citric acid into the milk to lower the pH of 5.2 immediately. The entire recipe only takes about 2 hours.
Basically, when you are making fresh mozzarella cheese using cultures, what you are doing is placing a certain amount of thermophilic cultures into to the milk and over time, these cultures will ferment the milk and lower the ph. This can take anywhere from 4 to 20 hours, depending on how much cultures that you placed in the milk and how well they ferment. Thermophilic cultures thrive on the warmth and therefore ferment the best in warm and dark environments. I personally prefer using kefir, because it creates a great taste and is easily accessible. You can find kefir at many local farms.
Being that fresh mozzarella contains milk, it contains calcium and iodine. These substances are responsible for building bone structure and making bone stronger. Milk also contains Vitamin A which is responsible for strengthening your immune system. Therefore, mozzarella cheese as with any of the cheese may be fattening, but certainly has certain health benefits.
First off, I tell you what equipment that's necessary.
Either raw milk or non-homogenized milk: I'll cover this later in the instructable.
I have listed some simple instructions on how to make Homemade Mozzarella using citric acid.
Pour 1 gallon of cold milk into a steel pot and dump 1/2 teaspoon of citric acid in the milk and stir. Warm the milk slowly to 88 to 90°.
Once reaching the desired temperature, take the milk off the burner. Dilute 1/4 teaspoon of liquid rennet into ¼ cup of purified water and pour it into the milk and stir for 30 seconds. Make sure the milk maintains 88 to 90° and if it doesn't, place back on the burner a little longer. Once stirring the rennet in the milk, cover and let it sit for 1 hour.
After one hour, test the milk for a clean break by pushing your index finger through the milk. If it is ready, it should feel like jello and it will leave a hole. If it is still soft and does not leave a whole, cover it up and let it sit for another 30 minutes and try again.
Take a sharp knife and cut the milk into 1/2 inch squares or take a whisk and chop it up, but don't get carried away.
Warm the squares slowly to approximately 105°, take the pot off the burner, cover and let it sit for 15 minutes.
Uncover and the curds should have sunken to the bottom. Pick up several of the curds and if they are ripe, they should not be falling apart and be somewhat firm. If they are falling apart, let them sit for another 15 minutes and try again.
Once the curds are ripe. it's time for the stretch. Begin by taking three large bowls and placing them on the counter. Fill one with slightly cool water and fill another bowl with ice and cold water. Leave the third bowl empty.
Fill a large pot up with water and heat to approximately 180°.
Once the water has reached 180°, pour 1 to 2 cups of the hot water on the outer ring of the bowl containing the cheese curds. Be careful not to pour the hot water directly onto that curds because it could ruin the product. Let it sit for about 2 minutes..
After 2 minutes, pour the hot water out being careful not to lose any of the cheese curds. Then pour 2 tablespoons of salt onto the cheese curds. Again, pour 2 to 3 cups of the hot water into the bowl containing the cheese curds and let sit for several minutes.
Take a wooden spoon and press them against the side of the bowl. If the curds are ready to stretch, they should be sticking together and not falling apart. If they continue to fall apart, the curds are not ready to stretch so wait a little longer.
Once ready to stretch, scoop the cheese curds up with a wooden spoon and let gravity do the work. Pull the cheese down and stretch approximate 3 to 4 times only enough to create a smooth texture. Stretching any more than this would be overworking the cheese and will result in a dry product.
Once you have stretched the cheese into a smooth 2-inch strip, fold a 3 to 4-inch strip over 2 to 3 times and push it between your index finger in your thumb. Then squeeze your index finger and thumb together and ripped off the bottom of the cheese ball.
Toss the finished mozzarella ball into the cool water. Repeat this process until all the mozzarella balls are finished. After 10 to 15 minutes, throw the mozzarella balls into the ice-cold water. They are ready to eat now and taste the best at this point.
There you have it, fresh mozzarella with using citric acid. They use this method as opposed to using cultures will result in a longer lasting shelf life. It should hold up to a week, and you should keep refrigerated at you make it.

Women's Day Celebration
On the evening of 21 April 2019, the UAE BAPS women's wing celebrated Women's Day, presenting a unique cultural programme acknowledging the achievements and roles women play in society today. The event, held in Jumeirah Park, Dubai, was attended by over 1,000 females of all ages from the UAE, Oman, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, India, USA, UK and other countries.
The celebration organized by BAPS Swaminarayan Sanstha (BAPS) represents its on-going commitment to women and matters of importance to women, as inspired and guided by the spiritual leader of BAPS, His Holiness Mahant Swami Maharaj.
The two-hour event began at 7:30 p.m. with a beautiful recitation of the Shanti Path (Vedic Peace Prayer) and was attended by Mrs Bubbles Kandhari, Vice-Chairperson of the Guru Nanak Darbar in Dubai, Mrs Reema Shetty-Bitar, co-founder and chief executive of The Foodsters Inc., Mrs Falguni Mehta and many other prominent figures of the UAE women's community.
Themed on the 'Value of Love', women from various communities and spiritual beliefs participated in the memorable musical and cultural presentation. The theme was artfully conveyed through video presentations, traditional dances, meaningful drama, a magnificent cultural parade involving over 150 women from various parts of India, panel discussions and speeches by eminent guests who shared their inspiring testimonies and experiences.
Mrs Bubbles Kandhari wrote in the guest book, "The most amazing programme, with utmost love, humility and compassion, setting the best example of tolerance for the world."
A lead volunteer for the event added, "We're so grateful for the overwhelming support of so many inspiring women who presented and attended today. We hope the event empowered women of all ages to reflect on their personal journey and they continue to shine professionally, personally and in support of others through faith, courage and love."
The celebrations took place exactly a day after the historic foundation stone-laying ceremony for the BAPS Hindu Mandir in Abu Dhabi by the Spiritual Head of BAPS Swaminarayan Sanstha, His Holiness Mahant Swami Maharaj.
At the end of the event, the entire assembly prayed for the victims of the recent attacks in Sri Lanka.

Cambridge scientists have successfully trialled an artificial pancreas for use by patients living with type 2 diabetes. The device – powered by an algorithm developed at the University of Cambridge – doubled the amount of time patients were in the target range for glucose compared to standard treatment and halved the time spent experiencing high glucose levels.
Many people with type 2 diabetes struggle to manage their blood sugar levels using the currently available treatments, such as insulin injections. The artificial pancreas can provide a safe and effective approach to help them
Charlotte Boughton
Around 415 million people worldwide are estimated to be living with type 2 diabetes, which costs around $760 billion in annual global health expenditure. According to Diabetes UK, in the UK alone, more than 4.9million people have diabetes, of whom 90% have type 2 diabetes, and this is estimated to cost the NHS £10bn per year.
Type 2 diabetes causes levels of glucose – blood sugar – to become too high. Ordinarily, blood sugar levels are controlled by the release of insulin, but in type 2 diabetes insulin production is disrupted. Over time, this can cause serious problems including eye, kidney and nerve damage and heart disease.
The disease is usually managed through a combination of lifestyle changes – improved diet and more exercise, for example – and medication, with the aim of keeping glucose levels low.
Researchers from the Wellcome-MRC Institute of Metabolic Science at the University of Cambridge have developed an artificial pancreas that can help maintain healthy glucose levels. The device combines an off-the-shelf glucose monitor and insulin pump with an app developed by the team, known as CamAPS HX. This app is run by an algorithm that predicts how much insulin is required to maintain glucose levels in the target range.
The researchers have previously shown that an artificial pancreas run by a similar algorithm is effective for patients living with type 1 diabetes, from adults through to very young children. They have also successfully trialled the device in patients with type 2 diabetes who require kidney dialysis.
Today, in Nature Medicine, the team report the first trial of the device in a wider population living with type 2 diabetes (not requiring kidney dialysis). Unlike the artificial pancreas used for type 1 diabetes, this new version is a fully closed loop system – whereas patients with type 1 diabetes need to tell their artificial pancreas that they are about to eat to allow adjustment of insulin, for example, with this version they can leave the device to function entirely automatically.
The researchers recruited 26 patients from the Wolfson Diabetes and Endocrine Clinic at Addenbrooke's Hospital, part of Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, and a local group of GP surgeries. Patients were randomly allocated to one of two groups – the first group would trial the artificial pancreas for eight weeks and then switch to the standard therapy of multiple daily insulin injections; the second group would take this control therapy first and then switch to the artificial pancreas after eight weeks.
The team used several measures to assess how effectively the artificial pancreas worked. The first was the proportion of time that patients spent with their glucose levels within a target range of between 3.9 and 10.0mmol/L. On average, patients using the artificial pancreas spent two-thirds (66%) of their time within the target range – double that while on the control (32%).
A second measure was the proportion of time spent with glucose levels above 10.0mmol/L. Over time, high glucose levels raise the risk of potentially serious complications. Patients taking the control therapy spent two-thirds (67%) of their time with high glucose levels – this was halved to 33% when using the artificial pancreas.
Average glucose levels fell – from 12.6mmol/L when taking the control therapy to 9.2mmol/L while using the artificial pancreas.
The app also reduced levels of a molecule known as glycated haemoglobin, or HbA1c. Glycated haemoglobin develops when haemoglobin, a protein within red blood cells that carries oxygen throughout the body, joins with glucose in the blood, becoming 'glycated'. By measuring HbA1c, clinicians are able to get an overall picture of what a person's average blood sugar levels have been over a period of weeks or months. For people with diabetes, the higher the HbA1c, the greater the risk of developing diabetes-related complications. After the control therapy, average HbA1c levels were 8.7%, while after using the artificial pancreas they were 7.3%.
No patients experienced dangerously-low blood sugar levels (hypoglycaemia) during the study. One patient was admitted to hospital while using the artificial pancreas, due to an abscess at the site of the pump cannula.
Dr Charlotte Boughton from the Wellcome-MRC Institute of Metabolic Science at the University of Cambridge, who co-led the study, said: "Many people with type 2 diabetes struggle to manage their blood sugar levels using the currently available treatments, such as insulin injections. The artificial pancreas can provide a safe and effective approach to help them, and the technology is simple to use and can be implemented safely at home."
Dr Aideen Daly, also from the Wellcome-MRC Institute of Metabolic Science, said: "One of the barriers to widespread use of insulin therapy has been concern over the risk of severe 'hypos' – dangerously low blood sugar levels. But we found that no patients on our trial experienced these and patients spent very little time with blood sugar levels lower than the target levels."
Feedback from participants suggested that participants were happy to have their glucose levels controlled automatically by the system, and nine out of ten (89%) reported spending less time managing their diabetes overall. Users highlighted the elimination of the need for injections or fingerprick testing, and increased confidence in managing blood glucose as key benefits. Downsides included increased anxiety about the risk of hypoglycaemia, which the researchers say may reflect increased awareness and monitoring of glucose levels, and practical annoyances with wearing of devices.
The team now plan to carry out a much larger multicentre study to build on their findings and have submitted the device for regulatory approval with a view to making it commercially available for outpatients with type 2 diabetes.
The research was supported by the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) Cambridge Biomedical Research Centre.

Eritrea : The Siege State
Today, the Brussels based International Crisis Group, an independent, non-profit and non-governmental organisation committed to preventing and resolving deadly conflict, issued its Africa Report "Eritrea : The Siege State". The report explores, at length, the making of Indepedent Eritrean State, the evolution towards a military state and now, a society under siege.
Excerpt :
Almost twenty years ago, Eritrea became Africa's newest country – de facto in 1991, when the Eritrean People's Liberation Front (EPLF) entered Asmara in triumph, and de jure in 1993, following a UN-sponsored referendum on independence. At the time, there was optimism that northeast Africa might finally achieve political and economic stability, and regional development might be founded upon a new relationship between Eritrea and Ethiopia.
Within a few years, however, there was heightened repression inside Eritrea and a devastating return to war with Ethiopia. Covering about 125,000 sq km and with a population of some 5.5 million, Eritrea is a fraction of the size of its main neighbours, Ethiopia and Sudan, but it contains considerable diversity.1 Broadly, it is divided between the highlands – including the central plateau (the kebessa) and the rugged mountains to the north – and the lowlands to the west, the coastal plain and the Danakil desert to the south.
It is ethnically and religiously mixed, with nine official ethnic groups and large Muslim, Orthodox Christian, Roman Catholic and Protestant communities. The bulk of the population lives in the central highlands. Regardless of its small size, it occupies a critical geopolitical position in the region, including some 1,150km of Red Sea coastline – and it is this which has shaped much of its troubled history.
Created in a contested and volatile region, first as an Italian colony and then as an Ethiopian province, Eritrea's defining experience has primarily been violent instability and political conflict. The political culture of the EPLF has its roots in the liberation struggle against Ethiopia (1961-1991). Engaged in a life and death struggle, its leadership has long been intolerant of internal dissent and external opposition, and it forged its political program – essentially that of a state in waiting – during the years when its rear base was in the harsh northern mountains.
The EPLF's character evolved in those formative years –the early- and mid-1970s – through its elimination of rivals during the civil war and ultimately its defeat of the Ethiopian Derg regime in 1991.2 After a brief respite with independence, it became increasingly oppressive, particularly following the 2001 crackdown.

The stator is the stationary part of a rotary system, found in electric generators, electric motors, sirens, or biological rotors. The main use of a stator is to keep the field aligned.Depending on the configuration of a spinning electromotive device the stator may act as the field magnet, interacting with the armature to create motion, or it may act as the armature, receiving its influence from moving field coils on the rotor. The first DC generators (known as dynamos) and DC motors put the field coils on the stator, and the power generation or motive reaction coils on the rotor. This is necessary because a continuously moving power switch known as the commutator is needed to keep the field correctly aligned across the spinning rotor. The commutator must become larger and more robust as the current increases.

'Rogue One' is One With The Force
By Mike Bitanga
Rogue One (Lucas Films)
The Star Wars series is filled with Jedis and Sith Lords of unworldly power, but Rogue One brings us a story of people that find power in hope. Gareth Edwards directs Rogue One, the first Star Wars spin-off, and is joined by a capable cast, including Felicity Jones, Forest Whitaker, Donnie Yen, and Alan Tudyk.
Gareth Edwards does a fine job in the director's seat. The script is solid, especially for a story that we already know the gist of. The audience knows the ending, yet it's still a riveting affair. It's packed with callbacks and details that tie in with Episode IV very well, and yes, it's a stand-alone movie, but it's dependent on Episode IV to work completely. It adds a whole new layer to the film that started it all, and is a nice change of pace from what we've been given in the Star Wars universe so far.
The film really bounces you around to different places without holding too much interest in the first act, as it introduces characters, and then things start to warm-up by the second act. By the third act, we're at the bridge to Epsiode IV, and the action shines in all its gritty glory. There's even one scene in particular with Darth Vader that is absolutely perfect, and makes up for the underwhelming bit of a fully suited up Vader we got in Revenge of the Sith.
There are plenty of scenes where plot details are being discussed, and it seems like a lot of exposition at times. Character development takes a backseat for the most part, and although Jyn Erso, who is the lead character, gets flashbacks, we still don't really know too much about her to care enough. Each character didn't need a straight forward backstory, but a few moments where the characters are fleshed out a bit more through natural dialogue or mannerisms would've helped. We can't fully invest in the well-being of the characters, but we are invested in the cause, and their role in assisting the main characters in the original trilogy.
Felicity Jones and Alan Tudyk in Rogue One
Felicity Jones gives a committed performance in her role as Jyn Erso, a spirited rebel who's father is Galen Erso, played by Mads Mikkelsen, a brilliant scientist who makes a significant contribution in the creation of the Death Star. Jones is courageous and bold as Erso, yet also handles the emotional side of the character very well. The film juggles many characters, but there are a few standouts. Donnie Yen playing the blind, Force-sensitive Chirrut Imwe is very entertaining, along with Wen Jiang as his friend, Baze Malbus. Diego Luna as Captain Cassian Andor also does well in his role as a gutsy rebel, and so does Riz Ahmed as Bodhi, a defected Imperial pilot.
The standout of the film is definitely Alan Tudyk as the reprogrammed Imperial droid, K-2S0. K-2S0 has the best lines in the film, and oddly enough, is the character most viewers will care about the most. He has no filter, making for great humor, and still manages to pull off some heroic scenes as well. James Earl Jones is back to voice the iconic Darth Vader, and Spencer Wilding is in the black suit to act out the mannerisms. I won't say much, but I will say this: the Darth Vader we see in this film reverts him from a plush doll back to the most menacing villain in the galaxy. After the prequels, we all really needed this reminder.
At its best, Rogue One shows us that the power of determined people working together towards the same idea worth fighting for can triumph over evil, even if it's as imposing as the Empire. Rogue One definitely cracks the top five in rankings of the Star Wars films. "I am one with the Force, and the Force is with me." Rogue One shows us that the Force is relative past the silver-screen; it is whatever you believe in that allows you to persevere.

Q: AudioKit, dampen sound best practice I am working with a AKPluckedString(), and am wanting to "dampen" the sound over time.
I have it working ok using a callback dampening function that is called from a timer when the note is plucked.
@objc func dampenString(timer:Timer){
    string.amplitude = strings.amplitude*0.5
    if(string.amplitude <  0.001){
        string.stop()
        timer.invalidate()
    }
    else{

        Timer.scheduledTimer(timeInterval: 0.07 , target: self, selector: #selector(self.dampenString), userInfo: nil, repeats: true)

    }
}

I am wondering if Apple's Timer is the best mechanism, or whether there's a better way to do it with AudioKit. Open to any insight. Thanks!

Johnson named captain of U.S. team for Worlds
by Tal Pinchevsky
With Team USA consisting mostly of players new to the World Championship stage, it's a veteran of international play who was chosen to lead the charge.
That was the spirit of USA Hockey's announcement on Thursday that Columbus Blue Jackets defenseman Jack Johnson will serve as team captain at this year's IIHF World Championship.
2012 IIHF HOCKEY CHAMPIONSHIP
Finns hoping to break home-ice curse
By Risto Pakarinen - NHL.com Correspondent
With a strong NHL contingent, the defending world champion Finns are hoping to become the first host nation to win the Worlds since 1986. READ MORE ›

Americans top Swedes 3-2 in Worlds tune-up
Staios believes Isles can improve through Worlds
MORE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP STORIES ›
A veteran of four previous World Championship tournaments, two World Junior Championships, two U-18 tourneys, a U-17 competition, and one Olympic games, the 25-year-old Johnson also served as captain of the 2010 American team that failed to reach the quarterfinals before winning the relegation round.
Johnson is the only returnee this year from the 2011 USA roster and will lead a blue-line corps with no previous World Championship experience. His previous international experience, which began with his work in the U.S. National Team Development Program, should greatly benefit a roster on which Kyle Okposo of the New York Islanders is the only other player who has previously competed in more than one World Championship tourney. Jim Slater, one of the few players on the U.S. roster with previous experience at the Worlds, last competed at the tournament in 2006.
With Johnson wearing the "C," Team USA kicks off the tournament Friday in Helsinki against France.
While the Americans are expected to qualify for the quarterfinals this year and potentially compete for a medal, another national team that could be on the tournament fringe also named their captain.
In anticipation of their tournament opener against Italy, the Germans named Florida Panthers center Marcel Goc as their captain. The only NHL player on the German roster, Goc has previously represented Germany countless times in international play, including five times at the World Championship, four times at the World Junior Championship, twice at the Olympics, and once at the World Cup. Goc's younger brother, Nicolai, will also be on the team.

The secrets of Giuseppina Strepponi revealed to those attending the concert on Saturday, 20th July in Busseto
Reggio Emilia, July 19, 2013 - "…also put in, one after the other, three good handfuls of grated Parmesan cheese…". Thus wrote Giuseppina Strepponi, Giuseppe Verdi's wife, to Camille Du Locle in September 1896, revealing to the impresario of the Opéra de Paris the secrets of that "saffron risotto" which was one of the the great maestro's favourite dishes.
This is the same recipe that the Parmigiano Reggiano Consortium is now offering on the occasion of events related to the Verdi Bicentenary. In fact, on Saturday, 20th July, as part of the concert "Echi Notturni di Incanti Verdiani - Nocturnal Echoes of Verdian Enchantment", performed in front of the birthplace of the Maestro at Roncole Verdi, and put on by the town of Busseto and the Ravenna Festival in collaboration with the state television network RAI1, the Consortium will distribute to all the members of the audience a brochure which contains the letter – with many a recipe – sent to Du Locle by Giuseppina Strepponi.
But it doesn't end there: the same brochure will provide instructions (also via QR Code) that allow direct access to another video-recipe linked to the Maestro and featured on the Consortium's website (www.parmigianoreggiano.it): this is the "Risotto alla Giuseppe Verdi" which the French chef Henry-Paul Pellatrat dedicated to Giuseppe Verdi, knowing of his love for risotto.
In the video, the recipe is illustrated and made by the chef Massimo Spigaroli in the kitchens of the Antica Corte Pallavicina of Polesine Parmense. 'A tribute,' explains Riccardo Deserti, director of the Parmigiano Reggiano Consortium, 'which supports the entire programme of events being put on by the town of Busseto on the occasion of the bicentenary of Verdi's birth – to the great maestro and his genius, but also to his fondness for local traditions and products, and, at the same time, to a territory that has been able to defend well and make the most of these traditions, including that "Risotto alla Giuseppe Verdi" (which among other things includes the use of more typical products from Parma, such as ham and tomato) which is still to be found on typical menus of the Parma Lowlands.' 'Through the use of internet and the Consortium's Facebook pages,' Deserti concludes, 'we aim to interest hundreds of thousands of consumers in these same values.'

Q&A: Concerning feline diabetes, anyone know of alternative meds beside insulin injections.?
Question by KEITH G: Concerning feline diabetes, anyone know of alternative meds beside insulin injections.?
My cat's having a difficult time with the shots-growling & hissing when he sees me. Something oral would be better. I'm a little leary of herbal remedies unless someone has first hand success with it.
Injections really are the best way to do it, because insulin has to be delivered to the bloodstream, and is broken down by stomach acid (that's why human insulin-dependent diabetics have to do injections, too).
Talk to your vet about other injection sites (like the scruff of the neck), how effective they are, and perhaps using a smaller needle.

Stolin (; ; ; ; ) is a town in Brest Region, Belarus, and the administrative center of Stolin District, the largest district in the region. It has a population of 10,491 people (2012). It is located  from the Belarus–Ukraine border, so Stolin is now a border city that hosts many Ukrainians on market days. Russian speech is common here, but villagers prefer their own dialects that are akin partly to the Belarusian language, partly the Ukrainian language.

History

Stolin grew up at the heart of the Polesia region on the Horyn River, at the crossroads of two important routes, one leading northwards to Pinsk, two others eastwards to Davyd-Haradok and Turov, that are now in Belarus, southwards to Sarny and Kyiv, that are now in Ukraine.

Archaeological evidence suggests that the area which Stolin now occupies, was settled as far back as the 12th century AD.  The first mention of Stolin dates to 1555.  There are three stories regarding the origins of the name "Stolin".  The first refers to a group of local fisherman who cast their fishing nets into a lake a pulled out 100 fish or Sto [100 in Russian] "Leeni" [a type of local fish].  The second story refers to a ferry-boat which sunk in the river and required 100 men with 100 ropes to drag it out [100 lines in Russian].  The third refers to twelve brothers who ruled over seven nearby cities and chose what became Stolin as their meeting place and capital city, hence the name may be a derivation of stol (table)> Stolny Gorod (capital city).

Stolin was occupied by the Germans from July 1941 to 1944. In August 1941, many Jewish refugees – especially women and children – from the nearby town of David-Gorodok came to Stolin. A ghetto was created in May 1942, surrounded by a barbed-wire fence. About 7,000 Jews lived in this small and unhealthy area, along the Bank River. The liquidation of the ghetto was conducted on September 11, 1942, by a squadron of German cavalry, the local police and the SD. The shooting took place near the airfield, in a large ditch.

Q: Silverstripe 3 set minimum width and minimum height for image uploads memberprofil module I'm looking for a solution to implement a validation to set minimum height and minimum width for image uploads. I think the Framework doesn't offer these functionalities by default.
Example : Allowed image upload minimum width: 500px and minimum height: 500px

There is my code extending Member Dataobject :
member_extension.php
require_once 'ImageUpload_Validator.php';

class MemberExtension extends DataExtension {

  private static $has_one = array(
    'ImageMembre' => 'Image'
  );

  public function updateMemberFormFields(FieldList $fields) {

        //setup the new validator

        $validator = new ImageUpload_Validator();
        $validator->setMinDimensions(500,500);
        $validator->setAllowedExtensions(array('jpg','jpeg', 'gif', 'png'));
        //$validator->setAllowedMaxFileSize(array('*' => 4194304));

        $fields->push( $Upload = new UploadField('ImageMembre', 'Image membre'));

            $Upload->setValidator($validator);

  }

    function updateCMSFields(FieldList $fields) {

        $fields->addFieldToTab('Root.Main',$uploadfield);
            $uploadfield->setValidator($validator);

        return $fields;
    }

After save, It return me the error : Minimum image size is 500px x 500px , but my image have alot more resolution.

A: In your updateMemberFormFields you have to switch some lines:
    $Upload->setValidator($validator);
    $fields->push( $Upload = new UploadField('ImageMembre', 'Image membre'));

should be
    $fields->push( $Upload = new UploadField('ImageMembre', 'Image membre'));
    $Upload->setValidator($validator);

Otherwise you assign something to a undefined object...

A: I have consulted the question and anwser on the link a top telling my question is duplicate... Link.
And I realise some error in my script and I have reedit it with some new coding. I have replace the validate function with other post code and it works!
class ImageUpload_Validator extends Upload_Validator{
    public $minwidth;
    public $minheight;
    public function setMinDimensions($width,$height){
        if(is_numeric($width) && intval($width)>=0)
            $this->minwidth=intval($width);
        else
            user_error('Invalid minimum width, value must be numeric and at least 0',E_USER_ERROR);
        if(is_numeric($height) && intval($height)>=0)
            $this->minheight=intval($height);
        else
            user_error('Invalid minimum height, value must be numeric and at least 0',E_USER_ERROR);
    }

    public function isImageLargeEnough()
    {
        $imageSize = getimagesize( $this->tmpFile["tmp_name"] );
        if ($imageSize !== false)
        {
            if ( $imageSize[0] < $this->minwidth || $imageSize[1] < $this->minheight )
            {
                return false;
            }
        }
        return true;
    }

    public function validate() {

        if(!$this->isImageLargeEnough()) {
            //$this->errors[] = 'Image size is not large enough';
         $this->errors[]=sprintf('Minimum image size is %s x %s ', $this->minwidth?$this->minwidth.'px':'(ANY)',$this->minheight?$this->minheight.'px':'(ANY)');
return false;
        }

    return parent::validate();
    }
