Transgender insanity: Police now jailing people for laughing at men in women's clothes

graham spiers, transgenderism
February 18, 2019 (LifeSiteNews) – There was a story that circulated during the Cold War about a Soviet judge who was seen walking back to his chambers, chuckling heartily. His colleague approached him and asked him what was so funny. Oh, just a hilarious joke I heard, the judge replied. "Well, go ahead and tell me!" his colleague replied. "Oh, I couldn't do that," said the Soviet judge. "I just gave someone ten years for it."
I was reminded of this little anecdote when I spotted a story in the Edinburgh News last week, gravely titled "Edinburgh labourer shouted abuse at transgender woman." It turns out that one Graham Spiers, a father of two and a construction worker employed at the St. James construction site, was walking past a pub in Bonnington, Edinburgh, with a few buddies, when they passed a transgender woman—a biological male. Although the journalist writing the story goes to great lengths to make it sound as if Spiers was "screaming" at the apparent victim, Spiers and his friends were specifically accused of "pointing and laughing" at the person.
The man being laughed at suspected that he was being mocked for his appearance, as fiscal depute Rosie Cook told the Edinburgh Sheriff Court that the "complainer thought [the laughing and pointing] was in reference to her gender transition." The transgender person then did what anyone would do if someone laughed at them: He promptly called the police, who take such things very seriously these days. The Edinburgh News, straining to make it sound as if the beery chuckles of a few construction workers really were a big deal, referred to the incident as an "unprovoked verbal assault on her."
The sheriff informed Spiers that his sense of humor had "no place in today's society," and that his laughing and pointing were so unacceptable that he was required to pay the man he had laughed at five hundred pounds "in compensation" for inferring by his laughter that the man did not look like a woman. The Edinburgh News referred to the incident as a "confrontation" despite the fact that the groups simply walked past each other, and Spiers was actually arrested five days later his misplaced mirth. The lawyer for the transgender complainant stated solemnly that Spiers now understands that his actions had been "disturbing for the complainer."
Sheriff Robert Fife also piled on, informing Spiers that, "Your offensive comments were not funny at the time and are not funny now. Your children should grow up understanding gender differences and would be ashamed at your behavior that comes from a different era has no place in today's society." Fife then told Spiers that in addition to the cash he had to pay to the biological man for laughing at him, he also had to pay an additional fine of another five hundred pounds.

Consider this situation for a moment. A construction worker laughs at a biological man attempting to become a woman. Sure, we can agree that laughing at someone is a rude way to deal with any situation, but it was laughing. And Spiers was laughing because the man posing as a woman was very obviously not pulling it off, which happens to be true for most of those who are attempting to force the rest of us to play along with their delusions. And for that—for laughing—he was quite literally arrested, told by law enforcement that he had no right to find such a thing funny, ordered to pay the transgender person an exorbitant amount of money for hurting his feelings, and then pay more on top of that.
It is disgusting enough that law enforcement would arrest and charge someone for this triviality. That alone indicates that freedom in Scotland is truly dead. But the fact that law enforcement then lectured Spiers on being a throwback from a different age (that different era being about a decade ago, for the record) and telling him his children should be ashamed of him? And that Spiers was expected to cower and listen to this tongue-lashing from his betters so he could get re-educated and realize that men could now become women and that laughing at their attempts was forbidden by law? That should absolutely repulse any liberty-loving person and terrify everyone who values freedom.
As I wrote last week, the transgender movement has to impose their ideology on the rest of us with the power of the state because it is not a grassroots movement. Most ordinary people still find the entire phenomenon absurd, and there are even a few construction workers out there with the gall to chuckle at a man attempting to be a woman after they've had a few beers. But be careful: Your chuckles might end up putting you in handcuffs.

European unity?
Graham Dunbar reports on the formation of the European Club Association
Eight years after its creation, the G-14 is dead: long live the European Club Association. It was created at UEFA headquarters in January and hailed by its elected chairman, Karl-Heinz Rummenigge of Bayern Munich, as nothing less than the "reunification of the football family".
The leaders of the new ECA are largely the same people who were the power‑brokers behind the old G-14, though to a man they hailed this realignment as a glorious triumph for Michel Platini in the week he celebrated the end of his first year as UEFA president. Why, then, did he seem so determined to brush aside the gushing tributes, and choose the word "logical" over historic to describe his great achievement? Perhaps because he realises that while Brussels-based G-14 is dead, its agenda and supporters have succeeded in a power struggle that has rather put the European and world governing bodies in their place. The threat of potentially ruinous legal action can do that, as the Bosman ruling showed.
Those three new cases against FIFA – brought by Charleroi, Lyon and Atlético Madrid, backed by G-14 and now dropped – demanded compensation to pay the wages of players injured while on international duty. The payback is that UEFA will give clubs €4,000 (about £3,000) for each day a player is involved in the European Championship; FIFA will spread £56m over the next two World Cups. If the semi-final line-up in Austria and Switzerland this summer is a repeat of the 2006 World Cup last four – Italy, Germany, France and Portugal – then Michel will probably be signing the biggest cheques to Bayern Munich, Barcelona, Lyon and Chelsea. All four of these clubs are represented on the six-man transitional board of the ECA.
Certainly the clubs have been rewarded for ruthless corporate negotiating tactics, yet the ECA does promise a more peaceful and democratic future. While G-14 was a self-selecting cabal of elite, rich clubs and in the end had 18 members drawn from only seven nations, its replacement will have at least one club from each of the 53 national associations that make up UEFA and will comprise 103 clubs. (That's the same number as were in the also-disbanded European Club Forum, which foreshadowed the ECA but was so irrelevant it gave seats to Newcastle United and Hearts.)
And to see the launch being proclaimed by Platini and Rummenigge surely warms the hearts of fans of a certain age, for whom the two men are bound up in so many memories of international and club classic matches in the ten or so years around 1980. Just to make sure, Platini stressed that the game is now run by a new generation of leaders drawn not from politics – that means you, Lennart and Sepp – but football, and who thus understand clubs' needs.
Platini's gift for understanding also stretched to promising talks to move the Africa Cup of Nations to a more Europe-friendly summer slot by 2016, and playing internationals on Tuesdays to send players back to their clubs a day earlier.
The day also ordained Peter Kenyon, the Chelsea chief executive, as the kingpin of English football, a role David Dein (remember him?) seemed to fill during G‑14's heyday. While Kenyon took Manchester United into G-14, he kept Chelsea out and – on a day when Liverpool's Rick Parry was detained by the growing crisis at home and United's David Gill was in Saudi Arabia – has moved smoothly into Platini's inner circle.
By offering the ECA office space just down the corridor, Platini at least ensures the power-brokers will have to do any future pissing from inside the Nyon tent.

Q: Get total number of items on Json object?
Possible Duplicate:
Length of Javascript Object (ie. Associative Array)

I have an object similar to this one:
var jsonArray = {
  '-1': {
    '-1': 'b',
    '2': 'a',
    '10': 'c'
  },
  '2': {
    '-1': 'a',
    '2': 'b',
    '10': 'a'
  },
  '5': {
    '-1': 'a',
    '2': 'a',
    '10': 'b'
  }
};

I'm trying to get it's length, the problem is that jsonArray.length returns 5 instead of 3 (which is the total items it has). The array is relatively long (has 1000x2000 items) and this must be done a lot of times every second. How can I get the number of items more efficiently?

A: Is that your actual code? A javascript object (which is what you've given us) does not have a length property, so in this case exampleArray.length returns undefined rather than 5.
This stackoverflow explains the length differences between an object and an array, and this stackoverflow shows how to get the 'size' of an object.

A: That's an Object and you want to count the properties of it.
Object.keys(jsonArray).length

References:

*Object.keys.

*Kangax's compat table.

A: In addition to kieran's answer, apparently, modern browsers have an Object.keys function. In this case, you could do this:
Object.keys(jsonArray).length;

1. House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) told the Economic Club of New York that "Republicans would insist on trillions of dollars in federal spending cuts in exchange for their support of an increase in the federal debt limit sought by the Obama administration to prevent a government default later this year."
2. Specifically, Mr. Boehner said: "Without significant spending cuts and reforms to reduce our debt, there will be no debt limit increase. And the cuts should be greater than the accompanying increase in debt authority the President is given."
3. Prior to his speech to the Economic Club of New York, Speaker Boehner campaigned (for the GOP nominee) in New York's 26th Congressional District. The Democratic candidate has turned the election into a referendum on Republican plans to "transform" Medicare. The race is close.
4. Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich will announce tomorrow that he is a candidate for the 2012 GOP presidential nomination. Mr. Gingrich's wife is expected to play a significant role in his campaign.
5. Some supporters of Rep. Ron Paul's presidential campaign are voting with their feet. T hey're moving to New Hampshire to work and vote for Mr. Paul. The New Hampshire primary is the nation's first in the presidential nominating process.
6. President Obama will travel to the U.S.-Mexico border today to lay out his "comprehensive immigration reform" plan. His plan has no chance, at all, of passing the US House of Representatives. So it's a campaign trip for Latino voters.
7. Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer (R) said yesterday that she would petition the United States Supreme Court to lift an injunction blocking some portions of Arizona's controversial immigration law. Arizona Republicans are seeking on-line donations to pay for the construction of a fence along the Arizona-Mexican border.
8. US military officers have drawn up plans to begin the draw-down of US forces from Afghanistan. As many as 5000 US soldiers may return home in July and another 5000 may be home by Christmas.
9. Pakistan's double game with the United States has been laid bare by events. Lawrence Wright reports that the nation is economically dependent on US aid. He describes Pakistan now as a "slowly failing state."
10. The Syrian government i ntensified its crack-down on rebels and protesters across the country.
11. The Wall Street Journal reports: "Two rival Palestinian factions felt the strains of implementing a unity pact after the West Bank's government ran out of money to pay tens of thousands of workers and Hamas accused Fatah of making political arrests of its members."
12. Greece expects to receive a new aid package totalling nearly 60 billion euros as soon as next month, a senior Greek government official told The Wall Street Journal.
13. Former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver announced yesterday that they had decided to live separate lives.

This Teen Made an App That Helps Students Find Lunch Buddies
By Joanna C. Valente Sep 13, 2016
There's a new app that helps teens find friends in the school cafeteria–you know, that dreaded place millions of movies were made about. 16-year-old Natalie Hampton created the app "Sit With Us" as a way to help students who have a hard time finding a place to sit find a group to befriend. It's kind of ingenious.
So, how does it work? Students can choose to be "ambassadors," which means they can invite others to the app. Ambassadors can also post "open lunch" events, which signal to anyone that they're invited to join their table. The California teen decided to create the app, which launched on September 9, because of her own experiences with loneliness.
Hampton claims she ate alone her entire 7th grade year, which also made other kids bully her. Now that she's in a different school, she's doing much better–but the memories of being alone and bullied still haunt her. Because of that, she wants to help other kids.
Part of the allure of the app is the fact that no one has to know about it. She told NPR how it can prevent kids from being publicly rejected, and thus, being embarrassed and treated as an outsider. She stated:
"This way it's very private. It's through the phone. No one else has to know. And you know that you're not going to be rejected once you get to the table."
As of now, the app is doing quite well–and many students have reported positive experiences:
"People are already posting open lunches at my school. So I'm very excited that things are already kicking off with a great start."
We hope more teens adopt this–as it also allows students to take a stand against bullying and act as ambassadors, which teaches empathy, compassion, and to have strength in the face of adversity.

AL DAHBASHI GRAY LAW FIRM BRANDING
Brand design, branding design, logo design, website design, stationery design
Al Dahbashi Gray marks a significant milestone for us as it's the first project we've completed for a client from the UAE and we're extremely proud of this fact. The law firm, which has offices in both Dubai and London, is the result of a new partnership between two existing prolific businesses.
The client was very specific in their requests in that they wanted a brand identity that was luxurious, professional and that could represent a company that operates at the top of it's field. The look was also to have a masculine feel and be able to stand the test of time.
A number of different options were tried out for the branding and, once the final design was decided upon, a number of different colour palettes were experimented with to ensure the finished result was just right. We created a monogram to convey the unity and collaboration between the two companies that had come together to create Aldahbashi Gray. To compliment the monogram, we also created a bespoke font for the company name. As with any project, we worked extremely closely with our client here to ensure that they were involved in the branding process and a metallic look for the logo, specifically for when applied to business cards, was specified from the outset. The bronze finish gives it that luxurious, touch-of-class look that was desired. In a world with smartphones, where business cards are more about a statement as opposed to a practical means to swap details, the finish applied to any given card becomes paramount and the finish used here definitely delivers. The fact that one side of the card features the company details in English, the other Arabic (this itself opened our eyes to a whole new wonderful world of typography) also makes the cards look particularly special.
Once agreed, the branding was then applied to a full suite of stationery and we set about designing a website. The website too had to have a very specific look that was classy, contemporary and high end. We always use a WordPress platform to build our websites to make it easy for the client to manage once we hand it over. We build the sites from the bottom up to ensure they work flawlessly and to ensure they can be adapted and change as and when the business does.

It is my pleasure to be here to inaugurate the New Office Building of the Ministry of Commerce. On behalf of the Royal Government of Cambodia, I would like to commend the management and officials serving under the Ministry of Commerce for their hard work and close collaboration with related ministries/institutions toward completing the construction of this new office.
According to H.E. Cham Prasidh, the construction of this new office building is financed by the privatization of the former office of the Ministry and Toyota garage, and the private sector is obliged to build the new office and equip the new building with minimal office equipments. This achievement indeed stem from the effort of the Ministry in broadening workplace and modernizing equipments to boost efficiency and productivity. Taking this opportunity, I would also like to commend the Ministry for the mental and physical effort to develop trade sector and maximize both domestic and overseas trade potentials.
All these achievements attest to the Ministry's firm determination to take part in the Royal Government's policy implementation and the Rectangular Strategy – Phase II to underpin growth, employment, equity and efficiency. In this sense, I urge the Ministry of Commerce to capitalize on the newly built office equipped with modern facilities and equipments to intensify its operation.
I would like to raise some background as a basis for evaluating the development of the Ministry of Commerce. Under the leadership of Kampuchea's People Revolutionary Party of the People's Republic of Cambodia, the Ministry was reestablished in 1979 as the Ministry of Economy and Welfare led by H.E. Mok Sakun. The successors include H.E. Ruos Sakmay, H.E. Tang Sarim, H.E. Chan Phin, H.E. Ho Naun, H.E. Nhim Vanda, H.E. Va Huot, and presently H.E. Cham Prasidh.
The Ministry was indeed reestablished after the Great Victory Day on 7 January 1979 whose 31st anniversary has been celebrated recently. After the reestablishment of the Ministry of Economy and Welfare, both the management and officials worked very hard to restore trade sector. Their contribution and sacrifice will be always remembered since the national reconstruction at that time started from scratch, a country with almost anything destroyed, i.e. no market transaction, no currency and deserted cities to achieve what we have today. The Ministry has operated both during war and peace, especially during trade embargo. During the People's Republic of Cambodia and State of Cambodia, the management and officials of the Ministry firmly fulfilled their duties in promoting trade and protecting the nation by preventing the return of Khmer Rouge. Sadly, some of them were killed, injured or disabled in duty. Also, all levels of the Ministry's officials have been instrumental in steering people clear of hunger and supplying food and utilities to armed forces and people across the nation to improve their livelihoods.
Even though in the stage of economic reform, which was the most dangerous circumstance, this Ministry has fulfilled its role to bring about continuous success to the economic reform today. Cambodia has been integrating herself into the regional grouping and global community in the name as a nation state that can stand on its own equally with equal right with all countries in the world, in which Cambodia became a member of the ASEAN and WTO. As a result, we have achieved a great deal of works, which include: protecting and maintaining stability in garment industry, that is now pursuing its progress, making a number of rules and regulations to ensure consistency with the World Trade Organization, preparing documents in the commitment table toward open market, trade and services by promoting the joint tax reduction program for the ASEAN Free Trade Area, eliminating the non-tariff barrier, strengthening the quality of goods and services conforming to the technical standard and phytosanitary measures, requesting for Generalized System for Preferences (GSP) on many products for Cambodian export to the foreign markets with zero tariff rate or lowest tariff rate, in which many countries have provided Cambodia with a status as Most Favored Nation (MFN) such as the United States, China, Japan, Korea and other countries in the Association of Southeast Asia, the successful negotiation to open market with WTO member states, especially with a number of giant countries such as the U.S, EU, China, Canada, Australia…etc. through the request to eliminate the custom tariff and withdraw the non-tariff measures. At the same time, we have maintained price stability for significant products, especially food products and have accelerated the international trade for Cambodia since 2003 with the amount of USD 3, 000 million until the end of 2009, the international trade of Cambodia was more than USD 10, 000 million.
Through this, we are able to estimate that Cambodian trade has been moving quickly, yet the global financial and economic crisis has impacted Cambodian trade, which was declining at the end of 2008 and 2009. The Royal Government has always paid high attention to strengthen this trade sector in short-, medium-, or long-term through ensuring the steady peace, political stability, social order; and building various physical infrastructures, improving legal frameworks and enhancing the institutional capacity, developing human resources; and continuing the policy of trade diversification…etc. In this regard, we have constantly cooperated with the private sector and development partners in order to upgrade the trade sector in the face of global financial and economic crisis, in which the committee for the management of private sector development have always discussed with private sector as well as related development partners to observe the evolving process of the Cambodian economy and trade and request for the practical measures to deal with the challenges we are facing.
According to the overall situation, the global financial and economic crisis has been on a passage to return back to normalcy in 2010 and this situation might be better in the upcoming 2011. As for Cambodia, we have seen that the export in 2009 generally increased, especially the export of farming products at the beginning of this year increased remarkably.
1. Must strengthen and expand export base that will enable Cambodia to attract more foreign investors as well as continuing to effectively implement GSP that Cambodia has received. Along with that, we must try our utmost to boost and promote the local production through the implementation of the support program for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) on food processing, handicrafts, fisheries, tourism and textile industry in order to gain comparative advantage of Cambodia, which is required to: (1) continue controlling quality and managing safety of goods that are being trafficked in the domestic market in order to ensure safety to the users (2) promote the value added initiatives, especially on the agricultural products (3) strengthen and develop the quality standard for Cambodian products in order to ensure consistency and the instruction on safety and sanitation (4) increase opportunity for Cambodia products through the creation of exhibition program inside and outside the country, and must implement strictly the labor condition and the protection of the workers' rights that are the core and most important factors to compete for garment purchasing order from oversea.
2. Keep actively rehabilitating and developing national infrastructure in term of software and hardware through strengthening legal framework and regulations, building institutional capacity to facilitate business, trade and investments activities, for that we have to improve and expand bilateral trade cooperation which could expand market access with tax preferential system.
3. Strengthen implementation of intellectual property right; cracking down production and distribution of fake products, no-quality and spoiled products. In the connection, we have to establish intellectual property right information center to inform customers about intellectual property rights and registered labels as well as to promote effective dispute resolution concerning with fake label fraud.
At the same time, we have to pay great attention to strictly and effectively eliminating and cracking down problems relating to food, vegetables, fruits and beverage fraudulence such as the alteration of quality, expiration date and adding chemical substances for longer preservation, which could harm consumers' health for the present and in the future.
4. Ensure the price stability of necessary commodity, by successfully implementing trade sector-wide approach, reducing overlapping duties and bureaucracy in trade facilitation through risk management and trade integration strategy, cutting down commission fee and making effort to develop competition law which is a new mechanism to monitor enterprises' colluding activities to make price high.
In the spirit of what already mentioned, I firmly hope that all relevant ministries/institutions and agencies, private sector and development partners and all the people will actively participate in the implementation of economic integration policy in both regional and global framework in order to reap maximum benefits and bring about prosperity for Cambodia's socio-economy. Through this, I would like to appeal to all ministries/institutions, authorities concerned, donors, civil society and national and international NGOs and all people to actively support and help develop the trade sector with high responsibility by their respective roles and duties to maintain and ensure a more favorable environment for investment and business in Cambodia.
Before ending, with this newly built and highly equipped office building, I would like to remind the management and officials of the Ministry of Commerce to make further effort with increase responsibility and be determined in fulfilling the mission to promote Cambodia's trade sector. Also, we must cut back on unnecessary spending with high sense of responsibility and sacrifices for the national interest.
At the end, along with this Official Inauguration of the New Office Building of the Ministry of Commerce, I would like to wish the Supreme Patriarch Non Nget, Chief of Monks of the Royal Kingdom of Cambodia and Your Venerable Monks, Excellencies and gentlemen, national and international guests the four gems of Buddhist blessings: "Longevity, Nobility, Health and Strength".

The Chief Executive Officer of Richardson Oil and Gas Limited, Akin Osuntoki, has called for effective emergency and disaster response awareness to guard against unforeseen calamities.
Osuntoki, speaking in Lagos at this year's conference of Process Safety Reliability Group (PSRG) USA and Richardson Oil and Gas (Nigeria), noted that disasters have a major and long-lasting impact on people after the immediate effect has been mitigated.
"We cannot stop disasters from occurring, but we can arm ourselves with knowledge so that many lives wouldn't have to be lost if there was enough disaster preparedness", he said.
According to him, the aim of emergency and disaster management is to establish an organisational structure and procedures for immediate response to major emergencies, in order to maintain life, improve health and support morale of the affected population until more permanent and sustainable solutions can be found.
"In an emergency, information must be treated like an important commodity just as the more traditional and tangible commodities like food, water and shelter", he said.
While lamenting the damage disaster can cause to essential services like health care, electricity, water, sewage/garbage removal, transportation and communications, he said poorly planned relief activities could also have a significant negative impact not only on the disaster victims but also on donor and relief agencies.
He disclosed that the conference titled "Emergency Response and Disaster Management: Issues, Challenges and Solutions" which attracted top notch representatives from key sectors in and outside the Nigerian economy, provides avenue for practitioners to meet, discuss and analyse issues on Health, Safety, Security and Environment (HSEE) practices in their individual industries.
He added that it also provides opportunity to share industry challenges and proffer workable solutions to issues related to health, safety, security and environment.

Cantine Gemma came into being in 1978, when Silvano Piacentini decided to found a new wine producing enterprise in the commune of Serralunga d'Alba, in an old winery that had formerly belonged to the Marchesi Falletti's Opera Pia Barolo (the premises have now been completely renovated, with state-of-the-art vinification equipment and new barrels). Cantine Gemma actually owns around 16 hectares (39.5 acres) of vineyards – divided up between the communes of Serralunga and Monforte d'Alba, of which 65% consist of plantings of Nebbiolo for Barolo.
The Barolo is the result of very strict selection of the Nebbiolo grapes, carried out at the time of the harvest, between October 10 and 20. The specially selected grapes are brought to the winery at Serralunga in 20 kg. (44 lb) crates, in order to keep the berries intact; once they have been crushed, the Nebbiolo grapes for Barolo are vinified in small, temperature-controlled tanks, with maceration on the skins for two weeks and fermentation for 15-20 days in temperature-controlled tanks at 28C. The wine then undergoes a complete malolactic fermentation in stainless steel, before being aged for the period stipulated in the DOCG regulations in 75% Slavonian oak casks and 25% in small French barriques.
With a rich, ruby-garnet colour that leads you into a bouquet of great depth and complexity, it has scents that range from hints of raspberries and fragrant rose to distinctly spicy notes. The palate offers marked tannins that are just held in check by the wine's ripe, richly-textured fruit.

MASERU, Lesotho – Lesotho, a mini-model of African democracy!
That's what I trumpeted two years ago, when reporting the great political achievement scored by the ethnic Basotho of Lesotho.
In the latest test of democracy in Africa, Basotho political elites produced their first elections without violence, then carried out a peaceful handover of power – a first for southern Africa.
Today, though, this beacon of democracy flickers dimly. Amid the jockeying for power, some whisper of a coup. Even South Africa – which surrounds "The Mountain Kingdom" and sent in soldiers before – warned Lesotho to cool tensions.
The 1.8 million souls who dwell in Lesotho rank, by virtually every health indicator, among the sickliest on the entire planet. Moreover, Lesotho has become a case-study for the limits of international development assistance – and a cautionary tale for what happens when a nation is reluctant to tackle the real issues that plague ordinary people.
For starters, Lesotho suffers an HIV infection-rate of 23 percent, a tragedy that has touched and traumatized every Basotho family. I've seen this first-hand, while preaching the virtues of Health Journalism here for two years. All along, I've cited Lesotho as enduring "the world's third-highest rate" of HIV infection – among those within the most sexually active ages: 15 to 49 years old.
Curiously, Lesotho's new ranking is not because the infection rate has risen.


text: Two Indian Air Force (IAF) fighter jets crashed in Madhya Pradesh`s Morena on Saturday, reportedly when they were practicing a bombing mission. The jets - Sukhoi-30 and Mirage 2000 - crashed near Morena`s Pahargarh area after taking off from Gwalior air base. The two fighter jets were part of different teams in the exercise. According to sources, two pilots reportedly ejected safely while one is feared dead. Since the wreckage are very close to each other; it is suspected that it could be a mid-air collision. Sources said that the collision is not head-on, wings clipped. The crash caused no damage to public property. State police confirmed that no civilian was injured due to the crash. Fire tenders have been rushed to the spot to bring the flames under control. A court of inquiry is being ordered to ascertain the cause of the accident, official sources said. This is IAF`s second Su-30 that

BLUR and THUNDRA may be the prisoners of JIM HAMMOND and S.H.I.E.L.D., but their rescue seems imminent when NIGHTHAWK reappears to free them. But how will the resurrection of NAMOR affect their bid for freedom? Will he be friend or foe to the SQUADRON SUPREME? Plus: HYPERION and DOCTOR SPECTRUM each make decisions about their futures with the Squadron. And as one hero returns from the dead, will another fall? The startling fate of Jim Hammond.


Running is a gift. It brings us fitness, confidence, community, purpose. What if you could give that gift to someone and better their life? Strategically designed programs called Girls On the Run (GOTR) do this very thing for girls in elementary and middle school across the country. GOTR empowers them to realize their inner power (they call it "star power").
GOTR started in 1996 with 13 girls in Charlotte, North Carolina. It has grown steadily since then and now serves well over 185,000 girls in over 200 councils in all 50 states. It's an extracurricular program that uses running to teach pre-teen girls about self respect, confidence and healthy lifestyles.
Because GOTR is more than just a running program, its curriculum is targeted to help pre-teens navigate their social, mental, emotional and physical development. While GOTR is geared toward third through fifth graders, a sister program called Heart and Sole is offered for sixth through eighth graders. For both programs, participants meet after school for 10 weeks to learn practical skills and lessons in a fun and interactive environment. They play games and learn about the importance of teamwork and healthy relationships. They learn about citizenship by completing a community outreach project with their teammates and coaches. And they run—a little at first, as the program "sneaks" exercise into the games and lessons.
Why is Girls On The Run Important?
An unfortunate fact of which we're all aware: Women and girls are marginalized every day. So, would it surprise you to hear that most girl's confidence begins to drop by the age of 9? In fact, one study reported that girls' confidence drops by a staggering 30 percent between ages 8 and 14.
To compound the issue, girls' physical activity starts to decrease around age 10, which often leads to further confidence drops. In a Jama Pediatrics study, females engaged in less heart rate-raising physical activity than their male counterparts in all demographic categories. Among girls, other studies have shown that relational bullying is common and can cause feelings of exclusion during a crucial time in social development.
In GOTR, girls learn to set realistic goals in life and athletics and pursue them week after week at each practice. At the end of the program, they complete a non-competitive 5K run to challenge themselves, prove what they are capable of and celebrate their accomplishments.
One coach in Western North Carolina reported that her team needed a lot of extra motivation to run during the season. However, once the 5K came around, things really clicked for them. She says, "It was awesome to see them change when they had a crowd cheering them on." Many of her girls, she says, ran their fastest times at the 5K and were immensely proud of their achievements.
But well beyond the 5K, research shows that the program has lasting positive effects on young girls' lives. Not only do they establish healthy exercise habits, but they also make meaningful, lasting gains in their life skills. Specifically, they increase their ability to manage emotions, make intentional decisions, resolve conflicts and help others. In University of Minnesota's longitudinal study of three GOTR councils, 85 percent of girls surveyed reported that they improved in confidence, competence caring and character.
The study also shows that the program has the strongest impact on the girls who need it the most—those who come in with the lowest levels of fitness and the least family support. That's one reason why many chapters of GOTR make it a priority to welcome all girls into the program, even if their family can't afford the $150 program cost.
It's not easy to provide such a powerful program to students who can't afford it. In fact, supporting the girls can be a huge struggle since GOTR is a nonprofit, and therefore dependent on support from donors and grants. This is the case in low-income areas like Western North Carolina (WNC).
"We serve large numbers of girls in WNC communities where jobs are scarce, and many families have food insecurity," says WNC Executive Director Rebecca Tucker. "Nationally, the organization model is built on program payments funding the majority of their budget, but our council cannot rely on fees received as a major source of income.
Donate. Find a council near you, and provide life-changing funds. Your support helps girls access the program and pays for necessities like shoes and healthy snacks.
Volunteer at a 5K. Hand out water, be a course marshal or paint faces and hair before the race.
Sign up to be a running buddy. Each girl is paired with a running buddy for the 5K. Community runners are needed to join girls without a family member to run with.
Race the 5K. Many GOTR 5Ks are open to the public, but it depends on the council. Your race fee will support the program while you soak up the positive energy that makes the race so fun.
Start a council where you live if there isn't one already. Girls on the Run International provides resources to help create these programs in areas that are not already served.

Below is Duchamp's most famous work, "Nude Descending a Staircase No. 2." As it was instrumental in the art world taking notice of him, it seemed appropriate to start here. This piece, which Duchamp created during a period in which he was influenced by Cubism, was originally censored from a Gallery (which was co-headed by his older brothers and friends). They claimed "A nude never descends the stairs--a nude reclines."
Apparent in this work is Duchamp's mechanical style--which uses harsh lines, sharp corners, and a good deal of repetition in order to break the subject up in to it's components--and create the feeling of movement across the canvas. The piece, which follows the rule of thirds and utilizes a lot of diagonals, has almost no background, and only drab colors. The figure itself is made up of hundreds of small shapes, put together to create the image. The staircase is less detailed, and more obvious, denoting it's stationary, uninteresting presence. The painting plays with perception because it creates a kind of blurred image, reminiscent of actual motion. It is hard to make out the form unless the observer ponders the painting for awhile. But then, the mind fills in the blanks and accepts that this thing could be human.

The Last Total Lunar Eclipse Is Coming on 8th November Until 2025. Here's why we're Fascinated by it
The Last Total Lunar Eclipse Is Coming on 8th November Until 2025. Here's why we're Fascinated by it
(CTN NEWS) – There's a high chance you don't have anything planned for 4:09 a.m. E.T. on Tuesday, Nov. 8. If your calendar is clear, it'll be the last total lunar eclipse until 2025.
In a lunar eclipse, the Earth passes directly between the sun and the moon, casting a deep shadow across its surface.
Due to the lunar passage around the planet, lunar eclipses occur once every 27 days when the moon and the sun are on opposite sides of the Earth.
In contrast, the moon's orbit is inclined 5 degrees relative to the Earth's equator, so the Earth's shadow most often passes above or below the moon.
An eclipse only occurs about once every year and a half when the three bodies line up perfectly. However, that frequency is just an average.
The total eclipse scheduled for tomorrow will be the second of 2022, following the total eclipse on May 15. There will be a three-year wait for the next eclipse after this one.
Here are the best places to watch the Lunar Eclipse
NASA reports that the eclipse will be visible throughout North America, Central America, Asia, Australia, and the Pacific islands.
Colombia, western Venezuela, and Peru will also be able to watch the spectacle. Africa, most of Europe, and the Middle East will be excluded.
As the eclipse unfolds, the 4:09 a.m. mark marks the first time the Earth's shadow bites into the moon. The darkness will gradually advance until, at 5:16 a.m. Eastern Time, totality is reached, lasting until 6:42 a.m.
After this, the moon will gradually emerge from the shadow of the Earth. In contrast to solar eclipses, the moon will only partially disappear from the sky. Instead, a blood moon will glow a ghostly red.
This is caused by light from the sun scattering down—and filtering out—blue wavelengths as it passes through Earth's atmosphere.
As a result, red light bathes the moon throughout the eclipse as it passes straight through our planet's air.
As haze increases in the atmosphere due to dust storms, wildfires, and volcanic eruptions, the light that streams through becomes redder.
An Enduring Fascination
Moon eclipses have long captivated humanity. Astronomers can forecast future eclipses and retrace past eclipses using Earth, sun, and moon positions.
NASA has assigned a date to the earliest lunar eclipse recorded in Babylonian records, which occurred on Feb. 6, 746 BCE. Both superstitions and fear always accompany the occurrence of an eclipse.
In Joel 2:31, the Bible states, "The Sun will turn to darkness, and the Moon to blood before the great and dreadful day of the Lord comes."
According to the Toba people of South America, the eclipse was caused by the spirits of dead people carrying jaguars and attacking the moon.
Native American Hupas believed that the moon had 20 wives and many mountain lions and snakes and would attack it if it failed to feed the animals sufficiently.
When the wives intervened to offer protection, the eclipse ended.
The 21st-century lunar eclipse may have fewer superstitions, but it still inspires both fascination at its sheer beauty and at least a little residual unease at its break from the normal, formal pattern of things.
"Astronomical changes determine life's rhythm," says Alphonse Sterling, an astrophysicist at NASA Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala.
"We aren't aware of the oscillations in cesium atoms, but we are aware of the sky." The Earth spins on its axis in 23 hours, 15 minutes, and four seconds. The moon's appearance is also part of that predictability.
All of that stuff is associated with harvest moons. "When regularity isn't there, it throws us off."
There will be a return to regularity tomorrow at 7:49 a.m. Eastern Time when the last of the eclipse passes and the full moon returns.
Eastern U.S. skygazers will see the moon set by then, but elsewhere, more westerly parts will see the moon unshadowed and lions, snakes, and jaguars soothed.

The Nova Awards are presented annually at the UK science fiction convention Novacon and recognise achievement in British and Irish sf fanzines.
When initiated in 1973, a panel of sf fans named the best fanzine that year. Subsequently, voting has been opened up to all members of the convention able to demonstrate a basic familiarity with the field; in addition, Novas were also presented to the best fanzine writer and best fanzine artist. In 2011, the poll was opened up to all British and Irish sf fans able to meet the 'familiarity' criterion.
Past administrators have included Dave Langford, Pam Wells, Paul Vincent, Martin Tudor, Sandra Bond and Tony Berry. In 2009, Steve Green stepped down after seven years in post, and Tudor resumed the reins; unfortunately, Tudor was unable to see the year out and Green returned to run the 2010 Novas.
Following a debate at Novacon 39 and follow-up discussions at Novacon 40, the rules were changed in 2011 to allow voting by non-Novacon members resident in the UK and Eire.
In March 2015, Novacon 45 announced the main categories were being retired, although occasional 'committee awards' might still be made.

Jesse Eisenberg, famous for his portrayal of Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, has been cast as the chrome-domed villain Lex Luthor in the upcoming Superman movie.
Other than the initial outcry by fans and critics, even casual fans are taken aback by this decision. Eisenberg seems to represent everything Lex Luthor is not, and vice-versa. The matchup will definitely be a difficult one and it will be up to Eisenberg himself to win over viewers with his performance.
Fans were pushing for a more traditional version of Lex Luthor and hoping for Breaking Bad's Bryan Cranston or even Academy Award winner Christoph Waltz. Both of which would have been much better fits on the surface. Cranston can easily play the crazed, bald villain to a tee. Waltz on the other hand would bring a sort of evil genius, conniving aspect to the role.
Eisenberg is characterized by his slightness, mild demeanor and awkwardness in a "Michael Cera type of way." How he pulls of Superman's notorious villain will be anyone's guess.
It will surely be quite the departure from previous interpretations of Luthor.
The new Superman/Batman crossover movie will contain both storylines of the classic comic book characters; an interesting concept to say the least. Ben Affleck is already scheduled to portray Batman himself.
The film is currently untitled and is set to release in May 2016.

Suspects arrested after bag stolen
Stolen icon of St George now back in Cyprus
By Evie Andreou September 20, 2018 September 21, 2018 089
Screen grab from Cybc, which was given exclusive access on Thursday
An 1829 Greek Orthodox icon of St George, looted from the village of Karavas, following the 1974 Turkish invasion, is back in Cyprus, it was announced on Thursday.
The repatriation of the icon was made possible after being confiscated only hours before going to auction in Koller, an auction house in Zurich. After the completion of legal procedures, Swiss authorities returned it last month to the Cypriot authorities.
The municipality of Karavas said that the icon is currently at the Archbishopric in Nicosia and that they will try to make arrangements so that it can be displayed for believers to go and pay their respects. The 19th century icon portrays St George killing the dragon and is surrounded by 16 smaller images depicting scenes from the Saint's miracles and his martyrdom.
It was housed in the church of St George, in Karavas until the 1974 Turkish invasion. Its present owner was not aware that the icon was stolen and accepted to return it to the Cypriot authorities after he learned about its provenance. There are no details about the nationality of the owner or the way he came into possession of the icon.
Legal procedures to return the icon started after a complaint lodged by the Church of Cyprus. The Cyprus police then informed Interpol, asking for the icon to be withdrawn. This was made possible only hours before the icon went to auction.
A detailed report was submitted to the Swiss authorities to attest the icon's Cypriot provenance and the fact that it is a protected artefact.

Nothing could make John Larkin, 71, smile quite like the Emerald Isle
By Sandra Pedicini and Sentinel Staff Writer
John Larkin was an entrepreneur who combined brains and a winning personality with his passions for Irish culture and golf, starting up a couple of Orlando's well-known hangouts.
Larkin of Maitland died Thursday of complications following a stroke. He was 71.
"He was a risk-taker and kind of a visionary," his son John Larkin Jr. said.
Larkin was the fifth of seven children in an Irish family from Boston. After getting a bachelor's degree in physics, Larkin entered the Navy. He was once stationed in Sanford, and he settled in Maitland after leaving the military.
He met his wife, Nancy, through mutual friends.
"Mom didn't like Dad when she first met him," said Larkin's daughter Kerry Sullivan of Maitland. "She thought he was a Boston snob."
But the two ended up marrying and having three children, all of whom live within a mile of their parents' home. "His family meant so much to him," Sullivan said.
Larkin worked as a sales representative for W.A. Brown Instruments Inc., selling some of the equipment that NASA used to communicate with rockets, Sullivan said. Eventually, he became president of the computer company, helping it grow to cover the Southeast, Sullivan said.
Larkin loved Irish culture, often traveling to his family's homeland. He dreamed of opening a pub that played authentic Irish music. So, when a pub in Longwood came up for sale, he bought it, expanded it and named it The Kerryman Irish pub.
The name came about as a result of a trip the family took to County Kerry in Ireland. Sullivan kept a copy of the local newspaper, The Kerryman, because it contained her first name. She became upset because her mother accidentally threw it away, and an Irishman who overheard the conversation about the lost newspaper promised to send her another one. He did -- and Larkin had a name for his pub.
He enlarged the pub and brought in a three-piece band that played traditional Irish music. The pub was decorated with artifacts the Larkin family found in Ireland. Nancy Larkin would spend months making and freezing soda bread for the pub's annual St. Patrick's Day celebration. A few years ago, Larkin sold the pub to a family with the last name of Kerry.
"I think he got just a little bit more Irish with each year," Sullivan said. "He really identified with his roots. He just loved Ireland and Irish culture, and anything about Ireland."
Larkin also loved to play golf, and he turned that love into a business. He opened the Million Dollar Mulligan, a family golf center in Kissimmee.
Larkin's children said that although their father had an analytical mind, he also had an appreciation for liberal arts. When his children were choosing college courses, he suggested they should study rhetoric and Shakespeare. "He said Shakespeare just had a profound understanding of human nature," Sullivan said.
John Larkin Jr. said his father was a mentor. Larkin, who runs a construction company, said he probably wouldn't have become a businessman himself without his father's help.
Besides his son, daughter and wife, survivors include daughter Cathy Egan of Altamonte Springs; three grandchildren; brothers James of Greenwich, Conn., and David of Edina, Minn.; sisters Alice Larkin of Worcester, Mass., Nancy Dowling of Milton, Mass., and Mary Jane Larkin of Quincy, Mass.
Arrangements are being handled by Carey Hand Cox-Parker Funeral Home, Winter Park.


This might be almost too obvious for many of you, but I thought I'd share it anyways. Back in the day, this was the typical code I would write for a value type property of an ASP.NET Control that was backed by the ViewState.
I have seen code that tried to avoid the null check in the getter by initializing the property in the constructor. But since the getters and setters for the ViewState are virtual, this violates the warning against calling virtual methods in the constructor. You also can't initialize it in the OnInit method because the property might be set declaratively which happens before Init.
With C# 2.0 out, I figured I could use the null coalescing operator to produce cleaner code. Here is what I naively tried.
Well of course that won't compile. It doesn't make sense to apply the null coalescing operator on a value type that is not nullable. Now if I had stopped to think about it for a second, I would have realized how simple the fix would be, but I was in a hurry and quickly moved on and dropped the issue. What an eeediot! All I had to do was move the cast outside of the expression.
I am probably the last one to realize this improvement and everyone reading this is thinking, "well duh!". But in case there is someone out there even slower than me, here you go!
Wouldn't (!ViewState["WillSucceed"].IsNullOrEmpty()) work as well? Are we casting a string to a bool?
Would this hold true for properties backed by Session?
re: the first code sample.
I always used the trinary operator instead of the much wordier if statement.
@Jeff: no that wouldn't work. If ViewState["WillSucceed"] was null, then that would throw a NullReferenceException.
Also, we are storing a bool in ViewState["WillSucceed"] not a string. ViewState is of type StateBag which holds a collection of serializable objects.
@Nick: Yes, I believe so. Any dictionary type collection of objects really.
@Scott: Trinay, of course. I hardly ever use it, but have been lately. I always found it confusing to read, but I guess I'm more accustomed to seeing it now.
The terms trinary and ternary are apparently interchangeable in this context. I had no idea, which is why I had to look up what a trinary operator was.
The Wikipedia definition for the ternary operator can be found here.
I think you need a small CSS tweak... need to clear:both the H3 element of each comment so that they title wraps correctly following a short comment.
Another improvement is that ViewState["WillSucceed"] is now only called once.
Yeah, I'm old-skool. That's how I roll.
Damn that Fritz! Always beating me to the punch. But hey, I think I'm among the first to talk about its thread safety in my recent post.
Check out my article on Visual Studio Code Snippets. There I have included four snippets you can download. Two of them are designed just to provide a ViewState backened property with the ?? operator.
You almost had it the first time. What's wrong with this?
Nothing is wrong with that. But in my case, I didn't want to use a Nullable Boolean.
If you really want a try-state boolean, then there's no point in even using the null coalescing operator.
Otherwise, if you really only want true or false, then you're using a nullable type just to save having to type another pair of parenthesis. Why?

Q: Combination search for character vector a<-c('a','b','c','d')

Need this to be segregated in combinations
Required output is
(a b c d,a b c,b c d,a b,b c,c d,a,b,c,d)

A: I used @chinsoon12 suggestions with a further paste to get your required output:
paste(lapply(unlist(lapply(rev(seq_along(a)), function(m) combn(a, m, simplify=FALSE)), recursive=FALSE), paste, collapse=" "), collapse=",")

Returns:
"a b c d,a b c,a b d,a c d,b c d,a b,a c,a d,b c,b d,c d,a,b,c,d"

A: The desired output can be built from the power set of c('a', 'b', 'c', 'd') = letters[1:4]. Using the powerset function from the rje library, we have:
unlist(lapply(rje::powerSet(letters[1:4])[-1], paste0, collapse = ' '))
[1] "a"       "b"       "a b"     "c"       "a c"     "b c"     "a b c"
[8] "d"       "a d"     "b d"     "a b d"   "c d"     "a c d"   "b c d"
[15] "a b c d"

Q: Distributing a single table across multiple disks of different performance? I have a table that increases by several million rows per day. It holds over a year's worth of data.
The table is regularly SELECTed from, but the older the data is the less frequently it is accessed. The current data (i.e. data added in the last hour) is very frequently queried, but as the records get older they are less likely to be queried.
The database is currently on a traditional (magnetic) hard disk. I also have a much smaller solid state disk that is very fast, but not large enough to hold more than few days' worth of data.
I'd like to somehow spread the table across the two disks. I'd like new data to be INSERTed into the small, high performance disk, and then invisibly migrated to the slower but larger disk after a few days (when it's less likely to be needed).
I know I could split the data into two tables (let's call then TABLE_SLOW and TABLE_FAST). I could insert into TABLE_FAST and then run an archiving process to transfer the oldest records into TABLE_SLOW every night, and then create a view based on a union of TABLE_SLOW and TABLE_FAST to use for queries – but I'm looking for a solution that wouldn't require any changes to the application, only the database.
The data includes a field called 'loadedTime' so there's no problem working out how old the data is.

A: How to put data on a different disk: (using tablespaces)
CREATE TABLESPACE fastspace LOCATION '/srv/fast_disk/postgresql/data';

https://www.postgresql.org/docs/10/static/manage-ag-tablespaces.html
.
How to make two tables behave like one: (SQL inheritance)
CREATE TABLE TABLE_FAST () inherits TABLE_SLOW TABLESPACE fastspace;

You will also need to add constraints and indices as apropriate to this new table.
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/10/static/tutorial-inheritance.html
Now selects from TABLE_SLOW will also see the data in TABLE_FAST
you may also benefit from implementing constraint exclusion (also described on that page), but the index on Loaded_Time (which I am assuming you have) should give a good speed increase itself
.
How to move data data: (CTE delete returning)
eg: 3 days old
with deleted as (
     delete from only TABLE_FAST
     where Loaded_Time < 'now()' - '3 days'::interval
     returning * )
insert into slow_table select * from deleted;

I recently ran across a journal writing from my December trip to Italy. I had just visited the Sistine Chapel and was in awe not only by its beauty – but with an overwhelming gratitude for Michelangelo that he followed through on his calling, that he knew this was a service he needed to offer to God and to his fellows. I started to think of others who clearly followed that path, usually in situations where they were not necessarily going to be received well – and often had no clue what they were doing moment-to-moment. These people include Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King Jr., Bill Wilson and Dr. Bob (founders of AA), and, today, Pope Francis.
As I review those expressions of my reason for being, I note that how I am doing with them varies a bit. The ones that are easier (mostly because I know how to do them – or at least think I do), I do well and regularly. The ones that require me to stretch a bit, not so much. Most of that stretching these days comes in the form of inspiring others through creative expression and spiritual guidance. There are a lot of ideas rattling around in this brain that are not manifesting in the world that may serve someone by inspiring them. Time for me to follow in the footsteps of Michelangelo (in a very humble way) and more fully offer my creative gifts to the world.
I invite you to consider what your service to God and the world is. If you don't have any stated guiding principles, consider writing something down. I found it a great starting point to answer this question.

I'll just repeat... they aren't exactly sending us their best, Tim. Proof positive of this.

"Special kind of stupid" That's a really tame way of saying: "One of the most retarded suicidal idiots i've ever seen"

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes!
I have a novel idea for people that do this. If they're American Citizens, permanently ban them from any sort of social welfare. No unemployment, no disability, no social security, nothing, oh and for good measure, no voting rights. Oh, but they still have to pay taxes, they just don't get the welfare benefits. And if they choose to emigrate from the US, they have to pay the next year's taxes in advance before they can leave. I call it a "Divorce Bill."
If they're not citizens, shoot them as human smugglers. We need to take more drastic approaches to these foreign invaders.
I propose a two strike system. Get caught entering the country illegally? Deported and permanently disqualified from asylum and legal immigration. Effectively banned from the US. Try again and we reserve the right to execute you as punishment. To Hell with the Geneva Convention. American Law should only apply to American Citizens. Foreigners and non-citizens should not get the same legal protections. They shouldn't get any to be honest.

Has anyone tried to livestream themselves commit seppuku yet? With all these Darwin Award winners clamoring for attention you bet someone would have done it by now

This generation is full of narcissists and virtue signalers, PEAK SOCIAL MEDIA!
It's not really a question of smart or dumb.
Anyone livestreaming any crime is an admission that they have been indoctrinated to the point that they don't believe what they are doing is wrong. Like someone admitting they're speeding while doing a podcast from their car; or a Pokemon GO livestreamer trespassing on private property to catch a pokemon.
"Oh, well, sure, technically it's against the law; but I'm not doing anything bad; or that other people don't do too. And I've done it before without any consequences. Why would I get arrested for it now?"

The result will be that she'll go to prison where she will turn even more extremist and perhaps built or becomes member of an entire extremist network, which teaches her the "craft". And why? It happens in almost every case. That's why I'm increasingly sympathetic towards the idea of putting them into a comatose state for a few years, to rebuilt them physically again afterwards.

Where is a mass shooting when you need one? I hope this bitch picks up a stabby rapist and she gets everything she has coming to her.
