Discussion in 'Miscellaneous Game Modding' started by iNezzy, Jun 15, 2009 with 8 replies and 611 views.
Currently on a comp were i can bridge but have a lagswitch/standby button etc. Wondered if i can use these to get host as opposed to bridging?
Xbox 360 Is there any mods for Too Human ?
Any way to Mod Cod Classic?
Any way to glitch Rank 5??
Yeah, you have to be more careful though. You need a full party, then you start it up. Once the 2 boxes are checked, click or press the button/whatever it is, and leave it for 10-11 seconds (Since it's a lagswitch, you need to be careful about holding it too long). Then press it again to stop standbying and then you'll get host once you get into a game.
I try using my standby button now and I hardly ever get host with it.
How long do you press the button? You need to do it for about 10 seconds.
Sorry to bump an old thread, but I'm interested in trying this method. Is this any more "dangerous" than bridging? What happens if you lag for mor than 10-11 sec? Disconnect? And do you have to be the host of the full party? Thanks!

Powerboaters Make Plans to Attend…
Photo courtesy of Michael Janssen as seen on speedonthewater.com
Michael "Doc" Janssen, a veteran powerboat racer, will be hosting a Powerboaters Snowmobile Rally at Saratoga Hot Springs Resort. It will be a multiple-day event from January 26th through the 29th. If you are interested in joining fellow offshore racers at this event, register today at 307-326-5261 or by emailing [email protected].
The Powerboaters Snowmobile Rally hosted by Michael "Doc" Janssen and company at the Saratoga Hot Springs Resort in Saratoga, Wyo., in late January, is unlike any other event we cover for speedonthewater.com, and not just because it happens on snow or takes place in a state in which we've never covered a performance boating event.
It's because of the incredible quaintness and closeness that the multi-day event, which starts with Janssen and his incredibly charming team and is capped off by the picturesque, old-fashioned town of Saratoga in southeast Wyoming. Not only is the food and drink selection impressive—the property's state-of-the-art Snowy Mountain Brewery is the third oldest brewery in the state—the fact that you can saddle up at the bar, hit the natural hot springs or the pool, or head out in the wide-open white wilderness of the Medicine Bow Mountains with some of the most accomplished offshore racers on the planet is an added bonus.
Yep, it's that time of year again when veteran powerboat racers, such as Janssen, Billy Mauff, Randy Sweers and others, shed their uniforms, lifevests and tennis shoes for snowsuits, helmets and boots, and hit the frozen water to satisfy their need for speed.
"I never want to miss the (rally), it's an amazing event," said Randy Sweers, the driving force behind FB Marine Group who races the PlayTradez Doug Wright catamaran in the competitive Super Stock class. "I have introduced a lot of guys to the sport and the event, and everybody absolutely loves it. I've been bringing my son, Chase, for the last few years and he's becoming a better mountain rider every year.

Q: tensorflow buffering data from asynchronous sub-graphs tl;dr How do we effectively buffer the outputs of unfed subgraphs across multiple runs in a single session?
In tensorflow we are attempting to feed an 'output' model from several 'input' models (which are really acting as preprocessors for the output graph). For later ease we would hope to implement this as a single tensorflow graph. The input models receive data at very different rates, with, for example, one being a consistent per-minute time series and another being a clustering algorithm that may only update once a day. Each new input is fed as a python dict into a new run in the same session, and the output model is expected to update with every new input datum. Given this is a stateful system with historical dependence, it is vital to maintain the sequence of inputs.
Currently we are having issues with how to, essentially, concat the input models' outputs. The issue being is that we cannot seem to effectively buffer most of the input layers outputs and only update the one we now have data for.
We have tried: variable assigns, which lead to an iteration-out-of-date data being delivered to the output, FIFO queues, which seem to get very complex for such a simple task, and partial_run()'s which have to be re-setup() each time a input model updates, mostly defeating the point.
We would like it so this buffering solution is compatible with feeding large sets of input data for, e.g. training, but it is not a hard requirement for this setup.
This all used to be implemented with a python buffer that would pull data from completely separated model and manually create an input vector for the output model. This works, of course, but seems unnecessarily clunky and will become over-complex when adding in more input models.
Toy example:
import tensorflow as tf

ilayera_in     = tf.placeholder(shape=[None, 3], dtype=tf.float32)
ilayera_out    = tf.reduce_mean(ilayera_in, axis=-1)

ilayerb_in      = tf.placeholder(shape=[None, 3], dtype=tf.float32)
ilayerb_out     = tf.reduce_mean(ilayerb_in, axis=-1)

# this is where the 'buffering' should take place.
olayer_in      = tf.concat([[ilayera_out], [ilayerb_out]], axis=0)

olayer_out     = tf.reduce_max(olayer_in)

with tf.Session() as sess:
    sess.run(tf.global_variables_initializer())

    print(sess.run(olayer_out, feed_dict={ilayera_in: [[1, 1, 1]], ilayerb_in: [[1, 1, 1]]}))  # 1
    print(sess.run(olayer_out, feed_dict={ilayera_in: [[2, 2, 2]], ilayerb_in: [[3, 3, 3]]}))  # 3
    # tf will, of course, raise an exception on the next line. how can i reuse
    # the *result* of the previous run of ilayerb with the new result of ilayera
    print(sess.run(olayer_out, feed_dict={ilayera_in: [[1, 1, 1]]}))  # 3
    print(sess.run(olayer_out, feed_dict={ilayera_in: [[5, 5, 5]]}))  # 5
    print(sess.run(olayer_out, feed_dict={ilayerb_in: [[3, 3, 3]]}))  # 5
    print(sess.run(olayer_out, feed_dict={ilayerb_in: [[4, 4, 4]]}))  # 5
    print(sess.run(olayer_out, feed_dict={ilayera_in: [[1, 1, 1]]}))  # 4
    print(sess.run(olayer_out, feed_dict={ilayera_in: [[1, 1, 1]], ilayerb_in: [[1, 1, 1]]}))  # 1
    print(sess.run(olayer_out, feed_dict={ilayera_in: [[1, 1, 1]]}))  # 3
    print(sess.run(olayer_out, feed_dict={ilayerb_in: [[3, 3, 3]]}))  # 3

Trump Cries 'Treason!' Over Anonymous Times Op-Ed: Reason Roundup
Plus: tech stocks fall as government gets grabby and Brett Kavanaugh's weird exchange with Kamala Harris.
Elizabeth Nolan Brown | 9.6.2018 9:30 AM
Welcome to the #Resistance, Mike Pence? The vice president is one of many White House higher-ups who have been floated as the likely author of an anonymous op-ed challenging President Trump's competency and authority. Published by The New York Times yesterday, "I Am Part of the Resistance Inside the Trump Administration" has politics-watchers speculating. The op-ed's use of one of Pence's signature words ("lodestar") could be an unintended tell, or an intentional misdirection. Pence is now the leading candidate for "White House mole behind the anonymous bombshell" on betting site MyBookie (markets in everything!).
Within a few hours of the piece's publication, Trump responded, telling a sheriff's conference "someday when I'm not president… The New York Times and CNN and all of these phony media outlets will be out of business. … They don't like Donald Trump and I don't like them because they're very dishonest people." He tweeted a clip from the speech with the caption "The Failing New York Times!" and followed it up with, simply:
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 5, 2018
A bit later, Trump was back, asking "Does the so-called 'Senior Administration Official' really exist, or is it just the Failing New York Times with another phony source? If the GUTLESS anonymous person does indeed exist, the Times must, for National Security purposes, turn him/her over to government at once!"
I'm draining the Swamp, and the Swamp is trying to fight back. Don't worry, we will win!
This morning, Trump blamed the "Deep State and the Left, and their vehicle, the Fake News Media," for slandering him out of anger because he was doing so awesome at being president ("The economy is booming… soon TWO Supreme Court Justices & maybe Declassification to find Additional Corruption. Wow!). This seems, like so many of the president's tweets, to have been inspired by him watching Fox News. Trump's next weet cited Fox host Maria Bartiromo staing that the amazing "economic success" story of the Trump administration was "unnerving his detractors."
Outside Trump's safe space, the anonymous op-ed helped those making the case for his impeachment. "If the president's closest advisers believe that he is morally and intellectually unfit for his high office, they have a duty to do their utmost to remove him from it, by the lawful means at hand," writes David Frum at The Atlantic.
Others kept cooler heads. "It's becoming hard to get excited about every anonymous White House official who regales a reporter with tales of how they're nobly fighting to keep President Trump from destroying the country," writes Margaret Hartmann at New York. But at least the latest one had spawned "a new parlor game not unlike the decades-long quest to identify Deep Throat." Alas, "working in the Trump administration is an unrelenting nightmare, so everyone is a suspect."
(Or, as Jesse Walker quipped: "It's cool that the rest of us get to play our own who-is-Q game too.")
Highest-ranking person who meets the criteria — regulatory expertise, think tank background, libertarian exposure, likely anger at Trump's violations of norms — is Trump's "regulatory czar" Neomi Rao, appointed in April 2017.
Just speculation. But she checks several boxes. /3
— Radley Balko (@radleybalko) September 6, 2018
Other speculation has focused on the motive: Is the person about to be ousted, and thus looking to put some ideological distance between them and their odious boss? Pleading with Congressional Republicans for more serious impeachment considerations? A double-cross designed to confirm pro-Trump tales of a Deep State conspiracy against him?
I've gotta say, if you were really concerned about protecting the country from an erratic Trump—rather than, say, trying to pre-salvage your post-administration reputation—you probably wouldn't write something like this given its predictable consequences. https://t.co/ScTtp4oyiC
— Julian Sanchez (@normative) September 5, 2018
Read Nick Gillespie's take here. In short: "The anonymity of the author will only work to harden Trump loyalists and members of the so-called resistance."
We did like the anonymous author's invocation of free minds and free markets, however…
But the classical-liberal-saving-democracy pose is a little questionable in light of the author's stated position. "The irony in the op-ed from the NYT's anonymous WH coward is glaring and massive," tweeted Glenn Greenwald. The writer "accuses Trump of being 'anti-democratic' while boasting of membership in an unelected cabal that covertly imposes their own ideology with zero democratic accountability, mandate or transparency."
And as writers such as Michael Tracey and Rania Khalek have pointed out, the more "grown-up" conservatism championed in this op-ed and by other traditional Republicans is very often wrapped up in a desire for more interventionist foreign policy.
The "adults in the room" have been consistently guiding Trump toward more aggressive foreign policy, and when they're successful at this the media cheers

Kavanaugh confirmation hearings enter day three. An exchange between Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh and Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) became one of the biggest moments from day two of Kavanaugh's confirmation hearings yesterday. Harris asked whether Kavanaugh, while a judge, had ever talked about the Mueller investigation with a lawyer from the law firm that has long represented President Trump. From Politico:
"Be sure about your answer, sir," Harris asked Kavanaugh. Trump's high court pick appeared nonplussed, responding that "I'm not sure I know everyone who works at that law firm," but the California Democrat…would not let up.
"How can you not remember whether you've had a conversation about Robert Mueller or his investigation with anyone at that law firm?" Harris asked, suggesting that Kavanaugh was "thinking of someone and you don't want to tell us."…
Harris offered no further context for her line of questioning with Kavanaugh, which suggested that he may have discussed an investigation affecting Trump with Trump-connected lawyers but lacked any solid proof.
The exchange went on for nearly eight minutes, notes Chris Geidner at Buzzfeed. "Is there a person you're talking about?" Kavanaugh asked. Harris demanded a yes or no answer.
"I'm not sure I know everyone who works at that law firm," Kavanaugh replied, later adding "I'm not remembering, but I'm happy to be refreshed, or if you want to tell me who you're thinking about." Harris asked him how that was possible, since Mueller's "investigation has only been going on for so long." From Buzzfeed:
At one point, Sen. Mike Lee objected, saying that "there are a lot of people who work at a law office" and questioning whether Kavanaugh could be presumed to know everyone who works at a given law firm.
During his objection—as has happened throughout the proceedings—a pair of protesters stood up in the audience to object to the Senate's consideration of Kavanaugh's nomination until they were arrested and removed from the room by US Capitol Police.
After the hearing concluded for the night, a Democratic aide said that they "have reason to believe" that a conversation happened and they "are continuing to pursue it."

"In some ways, social media platforms have become a victim of their own claimed ability to find and remove speech," writes Faiza Patel.
"Normally, democratic governments that wish to prevent speech must publicly identify the speech and speaker they wish to censor and convince a neutral decision-maker that they have met the applicable legal standard — a tough sell under free speech principles. But governments are now incentivizing tech companies to remove certain speech, either directly through regulation or indirectly through political bullying. Government attempts to influence the information the public sees are being moved into mostly secret corporate processes. Equally important, the check provided by judicial review is eliminated. These moves exacerbate already serious concerns about the control that social media platforms and search engines already exercise over information and communication."

Bill De Blasio's aide Jacob Schwartz was arrested for having videos of newborn babies being raped.
He was released on $7,500 bail.
Over a year ago.

Not surprising. If he were a Trump aide we'd hear about this non-stop.
Cathy L
Lol, I actually looked into this and calling him a DeBlasio "aide" is a joke, plus he was fired as soon as he was charged.
Also, the "newborn" part is a lie. The youngest child was allegedly around 6 months. Was 6 months not sensational enough for you?
Cathy, you never fail to disappoint. I actually am beginning to admire your willingness to defend baby rape with any technicality you can come up with. I hear the Catholic Church is hiring.
That was gross, yeah.

And JFK was killed by a literal, defected to the USSR, Communist:
Of the four American presidents who were assassinated, three were Republicans, all killed in a 36-year period. In other words, Democrats or anarchists killed most of the first few GOP presidents. Lefty nut cases also tried to kill Ford and Reagan.
Many Lefties have mental defects and their ideology demands ACTION!
They tried to shoot a lot of congressmen only a few years back.
I feel a little silly for still being shocked at how quickly that story died out. I think we talked about Sarah Palins' crosshairs for years, and I can't remember the attempted assassination of a leftist politican for right wing ideology.

People still bring up Sarah's Crosshairs as though it's a thing that hasn't been completely debunked.
Hell, the New York Times blamed the Gifford shooter on Palin, almost a decade after when, shockingly, lots of us remembered that he was so psycho he lacked the ability to communicate a coherent ideology. They had to print a retraction.
And you have to remind people that someone shot several congressman in an ideologically motivated assassination attempt a few years ago.
Funny how that works.
But Chuck Todd assures me that the media have the best intentions and are just trying to get every fact right, so it must be true.

It was fascinating how little pearl clutching there was with the attempted assassination of multiple representives for overtly political reasons compared with an apolitical lunatic shooting Giffords.

Outside Trump's safe space, the anonymous op-ed lends more heft to the case for his impeachment. "If the president's closest advisers believe that he is morally and intellectually unfit for his high office, they have a duty to do their utmost to remove him from it, by the lawful means at hand," writes David Frum at The Atlantic.
Please let open palace intrigue leading to threats of dethronement be the new normal for all administrations going forward.

September.6.2018 at 1:26 pm
That seems perfectly correct to me. 🙂
Pretty much everything is treason now. Here: let me see:
Treason is giving our enemies aid and comfort. Trump said a nice thing about Russia once, so that's treason.
Treason is also trying to overthrow the government, so a secret traitor working to undermine our president is treason.
Similarly, Hillary Clinton's behavior in Benghazi helped our enemies, and her email server undermined federal record keeping and security regulations. That's treason.
It's treason all the way down! This is fun!

Whatever happen to the silence is consent crowd?
People seem to have missed that implicit in the NYT Oped is that Trump's presidency isn't a disaster. The OPed claims that this brave group of dissenters is saving America from Trump. That is nice but it shows a real shift in the lines of attack against Trump. Reality has finally caught up to his opponents enough that they can no longer claim the world is going to end. So, now the story will be "sure things worked out but that was in spite of Trump".
Scott Adams called it. First evil, then stupid, then "yea, he's competent, but…"
They could claim that it was a disaster and would have been worse had they not acted.
But that is hard if it isn't. Thus far, it isn't.
That's a matter of perspective and personal values.
What objectively is going on that can be described as a "disaster"? The economy is booming. employment is at record highs, we are still at war in the middle east but have been so for 17 years and things haven't gotten any worse there, there is no more danger of there being a big war than there usually is, the government is functioning. We will have an election this fall that will result in the peaceful transition to a new Congress whoever that is.
There is nothing that I can see that could reasonably be described as a "disaster". Are things perfect? No but they never are. Is it reasonable to disagree about the state of things? Sure. But I don't see how anyone could reasonably describe the current state of the nation as a "disaster".
For some people, 2016 was a disaster in and of itself, for all it stands for, regardless of what comes after.
It's hard to tell what drama of the moment doesn't boil down to that.
Yes. They are complete narcissists who could care less that things have gotten better for millions of people. All that matters is them and the morality play going on in their heads.
I think there are people who look at the haphazard roll out of the immigration ban and its fall out (I personally know perfectly upstanding people who now can't travel to the US as a result), the zero-tolerance border policy and resulting family separations, the failure to get Obamacare repeal passed, the soured relations with many Western allies, and the tariffs and the pain they've caused in specific sectors all as being pretty bad and, when taken together, disastrous. That doesn't even get in to less specific things like the degradation of civil discourse or hypotheticals like legal violations or collusion.
I'm not saying I agree with them on all those things. I'm not saying those are all judged on objective measures. I'm not saying all those things are specific to Trump. All I'm saying is that a case an be made the Trump administration has been bad to disastrous, but that judgement does rely in part on personal values.
Many things can appear disastrous when you only look at the failures.
Thomas Edison was one of the most disastrous inventors ever.
But I don't see how anyone could reasonably describe the current state of the nation as a "disaster".
But he's reversing executive orders made by the light bringer! That's like punching Jesus in the face! That's why it's important for the judiciary to say that the current President can't reverse executive orders by the prior President! There's no downside to that!
note the article does not describe any of trumps actions that they thwarted. I want to know what he did that needed to be thwarted and the President asking a simple question about assassinating someone, which Obama did with drones quite often, is not a constitutional crisis
MasterThief
That's one of the concerning things about this op-ed. The writer is claiming that Trump represents a constitutional crisis while also saying that he/she and several others are taking actions that are much more likely to be a constitutional crisis. The devil is in the details and none are provided. If we don't know who this person is, then how can we even have a general idea of what administrative goals they have? Let's start by either naming this person and those in the resistance or air out what Trump has been trying to do and what they have done to thwart it. If we're not going to do any of that, then this is worthless political intrigue.
I Really Don't Feel Like Submitting To Socialist Tyranny. Do You?
That's a lot to unpack, so let's seize on just one aspect. "Seizing," are we? Now, these sorry cheese weasels do look exactly like you would expect: Stupid beards, skinny jeans, soft hands, and dull eyes. But they don't look much like dudes who are likely to seize anything besides the nearest locally-sourced muffin. Who, exactly, do they expect to do all the seizing that will facilitate "handing the keys of production over to workers?" Now, I use to specialize in commanding hundreds of guys with guns who actually could seize stuff, and I have to say that I don't think my troopers would be down with doing the dangerous bidding of a bunch of geebos who look like they'd be blathering about their fourth-level elf warrior with a +1 sword Dungeons & Dragons character if they weren't quoting selections from Marxism 4 Dummies.
Locally sourced muffins are often of superior quality to alternative muffins. And if you are generally against muffins you can GTFO
If they're going to kill us and seize our stuff, they'll have to get off their mom's couch and go farther than the kitchen, and that's a fridge too far.
Bwa ha ha. 😀

Shame this guy doesn't have a newsletter I could subscribe to.
They expect the mayor and AG of their city and governor and AG of their state to be on their side and order the police to seize stuff or haul employers into court etc. etc. Then we will see if LEOs line up with their handlers or with the people who resist. History has all sorts of examples for each scenario.
The people who want the cops to seize stuff also chant that they want the cops dead.

The FBI omitted from its application to spy on Carter Page the fact that Russian spies had dismissed the former Trump campaign adviser as unreliable ? or as one put it, an "idiot" ? and therefore unworthy of recruiting, according to congressional sources who have seen the unredacted document.
The potentially exculpatory detail was also withheld from three renewals of the wiretap warrant before a special government surveillance court. The warrants issued by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act court allowed the FBI to spy on Page and others he was in contact with for almost a year, the sources also confirmed.
If the FBI is willing to lie on a FISA application as politically explosive as the one on Page, then what application won't they lie on? I bet if you looked lying on FISA applications is the SOP.

"Trump voters-turned-doubters probably will sink the GOP this fall. But if they need a reason to vote in November, try this: There may be 20 ways to describe Donald Trump, but just one will do for the outpourings during Brett Kavanaugh's confirmation hearing from Democratic Sens. Kamala Harris, Richard Blumenthal, Sheldon Whitehouse, Mazie Hirono, Cory Booker and Dick Durbin. Unbearable.
If the blue wave breaks in November, we will spend the next two years engulfed in the Democrats' moral condescension. Anything but that."

I think they're on to something there.
IF IF IF and when the Republicans lose the House, it won't be because of anything Trump said or did. I've shown that, over and over again, where the president's party almost always suffers big losses in the House after his first Midterm. If Hillary Clinton had won the election in 2016, the Democrats would be staring at big losses in the House; i.e., it ain't about anything Trump has said or done.
That being said, if the Democrats fail to take the House in November, it will be because of the stupid shit the Democratic leadership and potential nominees are doing and saying. Strategically, their problem is that they're already playing to their own progressive constituency because they're running against each other for the nomination. That's no way to win the votes of disaffected swing voters in the primaries. Maybe their victory in the midterms is a foregone conclusion–they're certainly treating it that way.
Beware hubris!
Trump is still playing to disaffected Democrats.
Eh, there is another counterfactual in which another, more mainstream but less unpopular Republican is president and Republicans lose seats, but not as many with Trump. Just saying.
Below is the first midterm after a new president takes office going back to 1910.
First column is House seats won/lost.
The last column is what I see as the dominant issue(s) of that midterm.
+9 1934 Franklin D. Roosevelt Great Depression
+8 2002 George W. Bush 9/11
-4 1962 John F. Kennedy Cuban Missile Crisis
-8 1990 George H. W. Bush USSR Falls, Operation Desert Shield
-9 1926 Calvin Coolidge 1st Midterm in 2nd Term (Death of Harding)
-12 1970 Richard Nixon Vietnam, Kent State
-15 1978 Jimmy Carter Energy Crisis, Inflation
-18 1954 Dwight D Eisenhower McCarthyism
-22 1918 Woodrow Wilson Broken Promise not to Enter WWI
-26 1982 Ronald Reagan Recession
-47 1966 Lyndon B. Johnson Great Society, Civil Rights Act
-48 1974 Gerald Ford Nixon Pardoned
-52 1930 Herbert Hoover Smoot?Hawley Tariff, Great Depression
-54 1946 Harry S Truman Labor Unrest, End of Wartime Price Controls
-54 1994 Bill Clinton Gun Control, HillaryCare
-57 1910 William Taft Strife within the Republcian Party (Progressives)
-63 2010 Barack Obama TARP, ObamaCare
-77 1922 Warren Harding Strife within the Republican Party (Progressives)
If the Republicans lose 23 seats in the House, they lose control.
Do you think of Reagan, Bill Clinton, and Barack Obama as more or less controversial than Trump?
Even if Trump were–just as controversial–as each of them (-26, -54, -63 respectively), the Republicans would still lose control of the House.
OK, I may have misunderstood you, so I'll amend my statement. There is a counterfactual in which Republicans lose control of the house even with someone else in office besides Trump, but not as badly as with Trump in office.
True, and someone will probably bring that up.
My response is that there's a counterfactual where Madonna keeps up her end of the bargain and goes around the country sucking off/cunnilingusing approximately 70 million people.
"I was going to vote for Hillary, but then Madonna threatened to molest me, and I pulled the lever for Trump."
Hey, she's been working on that since she was in high school.
Jr high?
So, Ken, doesn't this list seem to say that it WAS something the president did in his first two years that caused his party to lose seats? It looks like voters who voted for X decided he wasn't doing what he promised or they don't like what he did, and took revenge on X's House candidates. I see this mid-term as a referendum on Trump with non-base voters deciding the only way to rein him in is to elect a Democrat in their House district. Can anyone name even one House district, now held by a Democrat, that will flip GOP in November? And how many majority Clinton districts, that still voted for a GOP congressman, are now in play? When the Dems retake the House in Nov., it will be because of Trump and not because of some unexplainable trend that the president's party always loses the mid-terms.
The data is deeply skewed to the negative end of the spectrum. The exceptions are pretty much always about things that had nothing to do with what the president did. If George W. Bush, for instance, had fucked a pig on national television a la Black Mirror, House Republicans might still have done well in November of 2002–after 9/11 and before we invaded Iraq.
For the rest of those midterms, while it's true that the president doing one thing or another might improve his negative numbers–say from -26 to -18–the negative skew of the data set isn't about anything they do or don't do. The median is -24. The mean is even worse. If Hillary Clinton were president, and she'd done everything the opposite of Trump, the House Democrats would still be staring at a center of gravity of -24 seats lost in the House.
If the center of gravity were a median of zero seats won or lost, we might credit or blame the president's positions on the issues for him gaining or losing seats in the House. The fact is that a decent performance means losing 24 seats. That burden of having to roll the ball uphill 24 seats in order to maintain the status quo isn't about his efforts or positions. Him having to roll the ball up such a steep hill is just shape of the landscape or the game board on which he's playing.
Whether he gets -18 or -24 seats might be a function of where he is on the issues.
The fact that he's handicapped with -24 seat weight around his neck (more than enough to lose the House) isn't about where he is on the issues at all. The dice are loaded against him regardless.
It's especially important to understand this in the wake of a Democrat victory in the midterms. They'll claim it as a repudiation of Trump's policies. It'll be no such thing–not even on the issues I don't like.
"If Hillary Clinton were president, and she'd done everything the opposite of Trump, the House Democrats would still be staring at a center of gravity of -24 seats lost in the House."
The simplest explanation is that the American people vote for the opposition in congress to put a check on new presidents–especially after they change things early in their first term.
IMO. People vote thinking they are getting a super president that can do the things they promised on the campaign trail on their own, when in reality Congress has the authority not the president. The president can't deliver, people are unhappy with that party and then move to vote them out.
"Outside Trump's safe space, the anonymous op-ed helped those making the case for his impeachment."

She linked to Gillespie's piece from yesterday, but if she read it, I'm not sure she understood what she read.
The case for impeachment is this: If Speaker Pelosi doesn't impeach Trump, the Democrats will replace her as Speaker with someone who will.
Who needs to be persuaded?
Trump supporters?
The media?
The Democrats in the House?
I'm trying to understand who she thinks needs to be impressed by the case for impeachment. I suspect it's a fictional group of people who haven't been convinced either way about whether Trump needs to be impeached. And the persuasive case for impeachment, now, isn't about Russia or groping or immigration or Hillary losing the election–it's about something somebody wrote in an anonymous Op Ed at the NYT?!
Maybe I'm misunderstanding something. Maybe I understand it all too well.
"And the persuasive case for impeachment, now, isn't about Russia or groping or immigration or Hillary losing the election–it's about something somebody wrote in an anonymous Op Ed at the NYT?!"

Because that's when you know you have a president. When he expends ordnance.
It's spending hundreds of billions of dollars that makes you an adult. The ordinance is a just a necessary step before the nation building program, and it's nation building (both overseas and at home) that costs the big bucks.
It takes a village of experts to raise a nation and a whole lotta money.
I don't think it's treason, but it should be concerning to even Trump's harshest critics that there are people potentially actively subverting the democratic process, up to the point of stealing documents before the president can sign them. I loathe most things about Trump from both a policy and personal perspective and I can still appreciate the danger of that. As bad as I think Trump is, I don't think he's an existential threat to democracy or our civil institutions. But if people feel like their democratic voice is being actively subverted, it's a concerning step in that direction.
Better to resign and publicly voice your concerns. Or if you *really* think Trump is *that* unfit for office, use constitutional mechanisms to remove him from office.
Treason is defined in the constitution.
This particular occurrence does not fall under that definition.
Trump and the wafflers are both wrong. This is not treason in the technical, and only relevant, meaning of the term.
This ought to matter to constitutionalists.

If the GUTLESS anonymous person does indeed exist, the Times must, for National Security purposes, turn him/her over to government at once!
The only reason no one really takes this threat seriously anymore, rather than taking it as a chilling threat on the press, is because we all now realize Trump is just a buffoon and not some proto-Hitler.
In fairness, if a cabinet member is secretly, but publically, announcing that they plan to subvert the administration that hired them there is actually a pretty good argument for exposing who this individual is. They should, in fact, be fired regardless of how I feel about Trump or government in general.
You're not supposed to take the job if you hate the person in office. This person, whomever they are, wants to have their cake and eat it too. That isn't admirable, or brave.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un signaled he wanted to "achieve denuclearization" during U.S. President Donald Trump's first term during meetings with South Korean officials but America's top diplomat indicated more work may need to be done.
Kim told visiting South Korean envoys Wednesday he was ready to accept "stronger measures" to restrict his nuclear program and wanted a declaration with the U.S. to formally end the Korean War, the officials said. A separate account by North Korean state media said Kim told the delegation that he wanted progress on denuclearization, without mentioning the U.S. or Trump.
"Thank you to Chairman Kim. We will get it done together!" Trump responded Thursday in a posting on Twitter.
Maybe so.
Well, that would be great! The Norks are definitely in the running for "Most Evil Dictatorship on the Planet".

Agreed. Seems like a set-up to me.
With anonymity in a newspaper you can say anything you want and get away with it. I think this op-ed was written by a Times staffer with no access to the Trump administration. Trump should treat it as such until the author is identified.
That would actually be the less concerning explanation. NYT has been a corrupt left wing outlet for a while and this would really not be that surprising from them. If the characterization of the op-ed and content of it are true, then we have much bigger issues. If we take the side of the writer, then Trump is a danger to our country and the Constitutional foundation thereof. To do that, I have to either have faith in this anonymous person's principles or be convinced that Trump is uniquely horrible (neither of which is substantiated in the article.) The other way to look at it is that unelected officials are undermining our elected president. Call it a coup, mutiny, treason, or whatever you like but this is very concerning to me. These people need to come out and make their case for why they should be the ones trusted with controlling policy. I might be on their side if they were to do so, but the way it is presented here all I see is the swamp and shadow governance.

Q: How to use ResultSet returned by java method in SOAPUI with groovy script? We have created jar file for a java method and imported it in SOAPUI. We are able to call method, however not able to retrieve query result returned in ResultSet by java method in groovy script def dataRow = GetData.GetRecords(preQuery). I am new to groovy script.
Below is method we have written in java and created jar for it.
package getRecords;

import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.ResultSet;
import java.sql.SQLException;
import java.sql.Statement;

public class GetData {

    protected static Connection con = null;
    protected static Statement stmt = null;
    protected static ResultSet result = null;

    //Opening DB connection
    public static void OpenDBConnection(String dbUrl, String driver, String username, String password){

        //Making connection to DB
        try {
            Class.forName(driver);

            con = DriverManager.getConnection(dbUrl, username, password);
        } catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (SQLException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

    }

    //Closing DB connection
    public static void CloseDBConnection(){
        try {
            //Closing DB connection
            con.close();
        } catch (SQLException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

    //Executing query and fetching data from DB
    public static ResultSet GetRecords(String query){

        //Executing query and saving result into result set
        try {
            stmt = con.createStatement();

            result = stmt.executeQuery(query);
        } catch (SQLException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

        return result;
    }

    public static void main(String args[]){
        System.out.println("DBConnection..");

        GetData gd = new GetData();
        GetData.OpenDBConnection("jdbc:oracle:thin:@test:1530/test", "oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver", "******", "******");
        System.out.println("DB");
    }
}

A: I suspect your result set is being closed when you return from GetRecords (tip: use camel case for Java method names, starting with a lower-case character) and you may also be jumping JVMs. See also  Is it Ok to Pass ResultSet?.
You probably don't need to use your result set as a result set back in soapUI, you just want the data, so a better option would be to populate a bean and return a List of those instead:
public static List<MyBean> GetRecords(String query){

    List<MyBean> myBeans = new ArrayList<>();
    //Executing query and saving result into result set
    try {
        stmt = con.createStatement();

        result = stmt.executeQuery(query);
        while (result.next()) {

            MyBean myBean = new MyBean();
            // Populate the bean...

            myBeans.add(myBean);
        }

    } catch (SQLException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

    return myBeans;
}

You might also want to investigate the try-with-resources feature that came out with Java 7: it'll handle the closing of your connections automatically.

A: In SoapUi you can directly do the JDBC call using Groovy scripting.
If you wanted to do some Database operation in soapUI you can write the code in groovy using the corresponding database driver ( DB2, Oracle, Mysql), Until or unless any specific reason to use jar file as you have mentioned.
Making the database connection you need to download and place the jar files inside ( SoapUi install folder/bin/ext
eg.. for Oracle (ojdbc6.jar, orai18n.jar)

The Grueling Truth - Where Legends Speak / TGTN NBA Power Rankings (3/2/19)
TGTN NBA Power Rankings (3/2/19)
NBA Power Rankings!
Cole Hanna
1. Milwaukee Bucks- How about the Bucks? 9-1 over their last ten games, and now sporting an NBA best 47-14 record, the Bucks have entrenched themselves as the best team in the East so far this season. The addition of Nikola Mirotic has added another deadly piece to this team
2. Toronto Raptors- Kawhi Leonard is a top five player in the NBA and Nick Nurse has done a tremendous job in his first year as the Raptors' coach. The addition of Marc Gasol at the trade deadline has given them a boost as well.
3. Golden State Warriors- Though they've encountered some recent struggles, I can't rank a team with Klay Thompson, Steph Curry, Kevin Durant, Draymond Green, and DeMarcus Cousins much lower than third. This team is the clear-cut favorite to win the NBA title.
4. Denver Nuggets- One of my favorite teams to watch in the NBA, the Nuggets find themselves just half a game out of the first need in the West. Nikola Jokic is putting together the best season of his career to lead Denver.
5. Indiana Pacers- No Victor Oladipo? Apparently, no problem. The Pacers have managed to do more than just stay afloat without their star player, going 7-3 over their last ten games. Wesley Matthews has been a great addition to this team, and Bojan Bodganovic has shouldered much of the scoring load in Oladipo's absence.
6. Philadelphia 76ers- The 76ers are an interesting team to watch, this may be the second most talented team in the NBA with Jimmy Butler, Ben Simmons, Joel Embiid, and now Tobias Harris. Though they lack high end depth, their star power can carry them.
7. Oklahoma City Thunder- Paul George is putting together an MVP caliber season for the Thunder, and he has put Oklahoma City into position to compete in the West.
8. Houston Rockets- James Harden is the favorite for the MVP award so far this season, and Houston has worked their way back into form after a disappointing start to the season.
9. Portland Trailblazers- Boasting the two headed-monster of Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum, Portland always finds themselves in the thick of the West. Getting over the hump however will be a challenge for them.
10. Utah Jazz- One of my favorite teams to watch, Utah, like Houston, got off to a rocky start to the season but have slowly worked their way back into form. Donovan Mitchell is one of the best young players in the NBA today.
11. Boston Celtics- One of the bigger disappointments in the NBA. Boston simply hasn't been able to live up to their hype for much of this season, and they are running out of time to turn it around.
12. LA Clippers- Despite their trade of Tobias Harris, the Clippers have managed to hold firm in the 8th seed. Lou Williams, Montrezl Harrell, and Danilo Gallinari have formed a solid three-man trio for the Clippers.
13. San Antonio Spurs- Another West team trying to compete for a playoff spot, DeMar DeRozan and LaMarcus Aldridge have formed an effective duo for the Spurs.
14. Sacramento Kings- The Kings are on the outside looking in on the playoffs, but this is a talented young roster with a lot of room to grow. Buddy Hield, Bogdan Bodganovic, De'Aron Fox, and Marvin Bagley III are all talented young players.
15. Brooklyn Nets- Kenny Atkinson deserves some votes for coach of the year, the Nets find themselves in the 6th seed in the East despite missing Caris LeVert for much of this season.
16. Detroit Pistons- The frontcourt duo of Blake Griffin and Andre Drummond has carried the Pistons to the 7th seed in the East and have won seven of their last ten games.
17. Orlando Magic- Though the Magic find themselves five games under .500, Orlando has won seven of their last ten games to push themselves into the final playoff spot in the East.
18. Los Angeles Lakers- One of the more disappointing teams in the West, the Lakers have never been able to find their identity. LeBron has missed a significant amount of games, and at 34 years old, one must wonder if his best days are behind him.
19. Minnesota Timberwolves- The Timberwolves have been involved in a lot of drama with the Jimmy Butler saga, and their talented roster is struggling to live up to their hype.
20. Dallas Mavericks- Luka Doncic has been one of the best young players in the NBA, and though the Mavericks find themselves just 27-34, they have a bright future to look forward to.
21. Charlotte Hornets- The Hornets are competing for a playoff spot in the East, but the ceiling on this team doesn't seem much higher than a first round exit.
22. Miami Heat- Another team with playoff aspirations in the East, Josh Richardson has had his best season of his career.
23. New Orleans Pelicans- The Pelicans find themselves at just 27-36 on the season, and with Anthony Davis wanting out, this is a team that could see major changes.
24. Washington Wizards- Without John Wall for the rest of the season, the Wizards disappointing season will likely end without a playoff berth.
25. Memphis Grizzlies- The Grizzles are in the middle of what seems to be a changing team. Marc Gasol has been shipped out and Mike Conley has been involved in numerous trade discussions. Jaren Jackson Jr. may become the face of this team sooner rather than later.
26. Atlanta Hawks- Trae Young has put together a very impressive rookie campaign, and though the results may not look good on paper, this team has a bright future.
27. Chicago Bulls- The Bulls are in the midst of yet another losing season, but this team does have some nice pieces in Zach Lavine, Lauri Markkanen, and Otto Porter Jr.
28. Cleveland Cavaliers- With LeBron leaving for LA, everyone knew this would be a rebuilding year in Cleveland. On the bright side, Colin Sexton looks to be a very promising young player for the Cavs.
29. Phoenix Suns- The Suns have young talent to build around for the future in DeAndre Ayton, Devin Booker, and T.J. Warren. However, at some point the results will need to follow.
30. New York Knicks- The Knicks have been a dumpster fire for a few years now, and this season hasn't been much different.

Inside the 1989 Debut of John Sykes' BLUE MURDER
It was only right to send off a decade full of splendid solid gold rock music with a bang. So many fascinating things happened during the last year of the '80s and Blue Murder's debut album was definitely one of the musical highlights (at least to me). After all, what else can you expect from master guitarist and songwriter John Sykes if not the best?
One of my favorite things to discuss when it comes to old-school rock is the huge pile of underrated artists and bands that deserved way more than they actually got. I often talk about Blue Murder and John Sykes because the band and the album should've taken over the world. Unfortunately, for one reason or another, they didn't.
John Sykes proved that he is a worthy monster guitarist as a member of household names such as Tygers of Pan Tang and Thin Lizzy. What followed next was a career-defining move which secured him a pretty solid position on the popular hard rock movement during the second half of the '80s. David Coverdale took John Sykes in after the release of Slide It In in 1984. After a couple of recording sessions and a successful tour in support of the album, John Sykes was already in line for "the next best guitarist in town" crown. Whitesnake kept momentum with what is often considered as one of the most enormous hard rock records of all time. Yes, of course I'm talking about that influential 1987 album that spawned timeless hit singles like "Here I go again", "Still of the Night" and "Is This Love", known by every single soul on this universe. If you thought that these monstrous songs were crafted all by David Coverdale himself, you are greatly mistaken. John Sykes co-wrote the majority of tracks, recorded the killer guitars and even did some back up vocal work here and there. Unfortunately, sometimes partnerships in life don't last as much as we want them to. Personalities often clash and this is exactly what happened in the case of John vs. David. I won't be getting into details because that's not the main focus of this publication. All in all, they both went their separate ways, even though the magic they did sold over 8 million copies in the USA alone.
It was time to move on and most importantly, entirely devote to making great music once again. Geffen Records also lend a helping hand, singing Sykes to a new great deal. You can't just let go of someone so immensely talented, right? He quickly recruited Vanilla Fudge drummer Carmine Appice and The Firm bassist Tony Franklin and the line-up was all set and done, ready to make the next big album! That's how Blue Murder was formed in 1988.
In April, 1989, Blue Murder's self-titled debut album was released to the public. It's a pity that the record couldn't generate a big fuss, however the brilliant guitar work showcased on this album did influence generations of musicians, making it important on a whole different level. "Blue Murder" possessed all the right ingredients to become the biggest release of 1989, including out-of-this-world guitar solos, intriguing song themes and spellbinding hard rock melodies. Of course, most of the tunes were written by John Sykes himself, however the team spirit and great collaboration between the members of the supergroup is quite obvious. Under the skillful leadership of John Sykes, each could bring something great to the table. Moreover, Blue Murder recruited legendary producer Bob Rock who worked with Kingdome Come, Bon Jovi, Metallica, Bryan Adams, Motley Crue and many other big industry names. The 1989 debut album turned into one of the highlights of the huge pile of profitable melodic, yet ferocious hard rock releases he produced.
The albums that are hard to explain with words are usually the ones that are that good. The powerful magical guitar world opens up with the earth-shattering, throat-grabbing "Riot" which in my book is one of the best opening tracks of all time. Other songs of similar nature include "Blue Murder" and "Black-Hearted Woman" which deserve nothing but to be played as loud as possible. Heavy guitar riffing, killer rhythm sections and hypnotizing vocal delivery are just some of the reasons why your socks might get knocked off just after the first time you play them. The epic 8-minute "Valley of the Kings" is my personal favorite and arguably the greatest moment on the record. From the enchanting intro, followed by John's mighty screams, to the ecstatic lengthy guitar solos, "Valley of the Kings" is one of those songs you can play for days. The power ballad "Out of Love" is as breath-taking as any other power ballad that hit the big numbers in 1989 but unfortunately couldn't make a splash. Never understood why so few people actually appreciate and remember this passionate heart-breaking tune when in fact is one of the best among all power ballads of the decade. "Jelly Roll" is an interesting song, brightened with a little blues feel that makes all the difference in the world.
Every track on "Blue Murder" is infectiously good! The album captures hearts with impeccable musicianship and satisfying variety, ranging from electrifying hard rock, to stunning blues-influenced rhythms. Valuable and well-crafted albums like this one are hard to spot so in case you are one of the many people out there who still haven't discovered the greatness of "Blue Murder", now is the time to do it!
John Sykes is a genius and a guitar virtuoso and he deserves nothing but respect and adoration! Enjoy the songs!
Out of Love

All Alchemy Stones are given a durable clear finish, as part of the decorative process.
Here's a larger stone I made for the garden. It is about 6" long (15cm, for the metric folks) and has the same finish coat as the smaller stones.
As the photo obviously suggests, this is one of our "heart stones." It's named "Path of Hearts" and was made as a Christmas gift for Sarah, this past year.
It has been out in the weather for quite a while (since December 2013), and hasn't really suffered any ill effects, as a result. It's being cradled by the small Buddha statue next to our driveway.
For the time being, outdoor stones are are in the experimental and testing stage. Although I have little doubt that the stones will be fine if left outside, I'm not willing to release them to the world as "suitable to leave outside" until they've been through at least a full year of every conceivable type of weather conditions. It is, however, an idea we're planning to develop further.
Originally, the question of "leaving Alchemy Stones outside" came about because we decided the "petite stones" were perfect as small gifts or "offerings" for people to leave at the centers of labyrinths they were visiting. Of course, most labyrinths are outside, and we wanted to make sure the stones would hold up to the elements.
Maybe the idea of "road testing" items that are basically art or metaphysical altar objects sounds a bit strange. I chalk that up to my Danish heritage... in Danish culture, the idea of "form" and "function" being closely tied is extremely important, and I was raised with the idea of "functional art." Everyday objects were expected to not only be beautiful (or, at least, aesthetically pleasing) but also to have excellent functionality.
Hence the idea of having Alchemy Stones that look pretty but lose their decoration after a few months just rubs me the wrong way. And so, the "road testing" project continues.

Dubai, UAE, June 21, 2018: On the night of Skyline Suhoor, Skyline University College brought together its strategic alliances and partners such as consul generals, government officials, corporate leaders, members of the business councils and social clubs, school principals, and media at Al Majlis, Madinat Jumeirah, Dubai on June 6, 2018. The Skyline team headed by Mr. Kamal Puri, Chairman of Skyline International Group and Founder President of Skyline University College welcomed each guest in a lavish Arabian set-up, complete with sumptuous middle-eastern cuisine and music. The night of gathering and networking served as a gesture of Skyline's appreciation to its government and corporate affiliates for their continuous support.
Some of the honorable guests of the night were Consul General of Sri Lanka, H.E. Charitha Yattogoda; Consul General of the Republic of India, H.E. Vipul; Consul General of Lebanon, H.E. Assaf Doumit; and Consul General of Republic of Tajikistan, H.E. Bahodur Safarzoda. Among the prominent Indian business tycoons were Mr. Paras Shahdadpuri, Chairman of Nikai Group and Dr. Azad Moopen, Chairman and Managing Director of Aster DM Healthcare.


When reviewing a restaurant for the first time it's hard to know what to expect. In the case of Café Ópera, which has been a fixture of the downtown dining circuit for years, it felt odd to have never ventured inside before. Located on Lækjargata, it's a place absolutely everyone and their grandma has walked past at some point. The interior turned out to be a pleasant surprise.
From the kitsch posters and paintings to the piano hanging on the wall, the decor at Café Ópera has a bohemian, early 20th century feel to it. The staff was friendly and numerous, perhaps owing to our early arrival, and more than eager to please. The chef wanted to personally discuss upcoming changes to the menu, and we were given the opportunity to taste a variety of dishes that he handpicked – both from off and on the current menu. As a result of the bewildering and seemingly never-ending array of foods that was brought before us, recalling specifics is difficult.
There was a great lobster soup: creamy, made with cognac and thankfully not greasy at all. There was shellfish, presented to us looking like a fine artwork – a skill that would be much in evidence for the rest of the evening. There was carpaccio and sorbet, lobster and giant prawn. Basically, there was a lot of really good food, the remains of which we had to tearfully send back in order to be able to partake in the next treat.
Café Ópera is famous for its hot rock steaks, and close to the end of the evening we got to experience that rather unusual culinary phenomenon. Basically, someone sticks a rock into the depths of hell itself until it's hot enough to burn through asbestos. Then the rock is put on a heat-resistant tray, raw meat and a potato are put on top, and a mad dash to the customer's table begins. You actually cook the meat as you eat it, and while that may sound intimidating the experience was as fun as it is delicious. At the very least, it's something different to try.

Today's News and Commentary–September 2
by Alison Deich | Sep 2, 2013 | News & Commentary
Happy Labor Day! To celebrate the holiday, the Washington Post interviewed four workers from the D.C. area about "what they do and why they do it." The Post also published excerpts from an interview with Labor Secretary Thomas Perez. The interview touches upon Secretary Perez's plans for the Department of Labor, the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington, and minimum wage.
Today's opinion pages are brimming with commentary on the challenges that low- and middle-income workers face and ideas for overcoming those challenges. In the New York Times, Paul Krugman contends some politicians "can't even bring themselves to fake respect for ordinary working Americans." In the same paper, Benjamin Sachs suggests one way that labor law could be reformed to give low- and middle-income workers more political power: labor law could allow workers to use unions to organize themselves politically, even if the unions are not used to bargain collectively with any employer. (Professor Sachs provides more information about his op-ed here).
The Times also features a piece in which Jennifer Gordon discusses appallingly exploitative guest worker programs, which provide cheap, subcontracted labor to American businesses. Gordon suggests several ways that immigration and labor laws might be reformed to eliminate these programs. In particular, she argues that businesses at the top of a subcontracting chain should not be able to escape liability for the way that workers at the bottom of the chain are treated.
In a Washington Post op-ed, Robert Samuelson argues that we are witnessing "the final breakdown of the post-World War II job compact, with its promises of career jobs and something close to 'full employment.'" The Post's, E.J. Dionne Jr. takes a more optimistic view: he suggests that this Labor Day could "mark the comeback of movements for workers' rights and a turn toward innovation and a new militancy on behalf of wage-earners." Citing the fast food strikes, Dionne discusses ways in which individuals and unions are advocating for workers without pressing for unionization.
Also in the Washington Post, Theodore McCarrick suggests that, as we celebrate Labor Day, we should be mindful of the "large underclass" of undocumented workers who contribute significantly to our economy, but do not receive the same protections or benefits as documented workers. McCarrick applauds the comprehensive immigration reform legislation that the Senate passed this summer, and urges the House to follow the Senate's lead.
In the Wall Street Journal, Peggy Noonan suggests that unemployment is more than an economic problem; joblessness can be "a personal crisis because work is a spiritual event." Noonan goes on to argue that, in a time when so many Americans are living with the pain or fear of joblessness, we need to find a political leader who has "real passion about the idea of new businesses, new inventions, growth, productivity, breakthroughs and jobs, jobs, jobs."
In the Los Angeles Times, Harold Meyerson contends that "traditional union organizing in the private sector no longer works." However, the California Legislature could help revive collective bargaining by extending the California Fair Employment and Housing Act to protect union organizers.
Meanwhile, the editorial board of the Los Angeles Times argues that, while low wages for fast food workers may be a problem, the bigger problem is workers' inability to advance into better-paying jobs. In order to address this issue, the board argues, we need to improve government-funded career training, which is often "inefficient, duplicative and poorly targeted."
The Wall Street Journal observes that strikes by fast-food workers have called attention to a debate about whether raises for fast food employees are economically feasible.
In international news, the New York Times reports that inspections of foreign factories are often flawed. Many inspections are "so superficial that they omit the most fundamental workplace safeguards like fire escapes." Even when the inspections are rigorous, however, factory managers find ways to hide serious violations (such as employing children or locking exit doors).
The Washington Post reports that workers on Thai fishing vessels face abysmal conditions. The Post also notes that almost 200 workers at Cambodia's Khmer Rouge tribunal are on strike because their wages are several months overdue.
Finally, the New York Times observes that, while factory activity in the euro zone rose sharply in August, companies remained reluctant to hire new workers.

Q: Unity3D: Fastest way to go over huge number of points Here's my issue. I have an array of Vector3 (size > 10,000). My object should go over each points in the shortest period of time. For example, in the code below, the objects moves from one point to another every frame. But when the array of points is big it will take more than 2 minutes to go over every point.
public class PlayerMovement : MonoBehaviour{

        Vector3[] points = new Vector3[10000];
        int i = 0;
        private void Update()
        {
                transform.position = points[i];
                 i++;
        }
}

Is there a faster way to do this? I would appreciate if someone could suggest me a faster way to do this operation.

A: Define a speed, figure out how much you travel on the current frame by multiplying it by Time.deltaTime;
Use Vector3.MoveTowards to move toward the next point. Repeat until you run out of distance for that frame or run out of points.
You'll need to be able to leave multiple traces per frame, so put your procedure for adding traces into a void LeaveTrace(Vector3 position) method so we can call it where necessary.
You can have a goal index set to determine how to traverse the point array, but make sure you update the source index if you change direction of traversal in the middle of a traversal.
Altogether:
public class PlayerMovement : MonoBehaviour{

    Vector3[] points = new Vector3[10000];
    public float speed = 1f;
    private int curSourceIndex = 0;

    private int goalIndex = 0; // no goal

    private void Update()
    {
        if (goalIndex != curSourceIndex)
        {
            MoveBus();
        }
    }

A loom is the primary tool used by the Salish people to weave. The people of the Fraser Valley are noted as being one of the first groups in North America to use a stationary loom. In the past, the loom consisted of two uprights that were driven into the ground to support the structure, and two horizontal poles which were used to hold the warp during weaving. Today the looms are made in a very similar fashion but are self-contained-in that they have a frame or base that they are constructed on, and that they are portable.
Similarly to the spindle whorls, the uprights of the loom were elaborately carved in a variety of styles, unique from carver to carver, and were personalized (often based on the desired design of the weaver using the loom). The looms were, however, not the property of the weaver but that of the carver who made the designs for the loom. The looms can vary in size and in production size, as there are several notches in the loom uprights in order to increase the number of warp sizes available for use. The full dimensions of the loom can vary up to a length of 182 centimetres and a height of 152 centimetres.
