In the outlook of these staggering numbers, what are governmental agencies and private campaigns act out to educate American drivers approximately drunk driving? This article will have the funds for a survey of the most widely-publicized anti-impaired driving campaigns, and an analysis of their real-world effects.
In the last few years, weve seen numerous ad campaigns, initiated both by state-funded organizations and private combination groups, advocating for widespread greeting of something called buzzed driving. in view of that what is it?
Buzzed driving is a entirely simple concept. After ingestion, alcohol is absorbed unexpectedly by the bloodstream and common tests, similar to a breathalyzer, can achievement the amount of alcohol in your blood reliably and quickly. Driving later than a Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) of 0.08 or far ahead is illegal in all state. At that concentration, drivers more or less invariably experience sedation and slower reply times. In supplementary words, its conveniently dangerous to steer in the same way as that much alcohol in your system.
And significant studies have found that less is no better. One savings account from UC San Diego that evaluated crash reports found that buzzed drivers, those with a BAC of 0.01 percent are 46 percent more likely to be officially and solely to blame than self-disciplined drivers. The fact is that driving even slightly buzzed is dangerous, far and wide more risky than driving sober.
The real burden is that American do something and public policy tend to see on 0.08% as a definitive, meaningful boundary. below that stock and youre relatively safe, above it youre dangerous. But the researchers at UC San Diego found that the chances of causing a crash increases steadily and dexterously from BAC 0.01 to 0.24 percent, meaning that there is no quick transition as soon as comparing a buzzed driver to a drunk driver. It turns out that 0.08% is not a definitive boundary, and that no amount of alcohol is secure in the pure analysis.
The tab from UC San Diego was published in the British medical journal slur Prevention. You can gate a summary here.
Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania, Bangladesh, and Saudi Arabia every have zero-tolerance policies; any BAC above 0.00% and youll lose your license, be penalized as soon as rough fines, and your car can be impounded.
The Ad Council, Americas largest non-profit producer of public relief announcements, spearheaded the Buzzed Driving watchfulness campaign. on their website, they relation that their ads reached approximately one half of all American adults exceeding the age of 21. And that there was a significant accumulation in the proportion of men age 21 35 who called themselves extremely concerned very nearly the situation of drunk driving, from 22 percent in 2005 to 27 percent in 2011.
And even though public attentiveness is certainly important, Americas legislators have nevertheless to respond to our additional concurrence of buzzed driving. In fact, like most confess governments speak to to zero tolerance, they either limit this prohibition to drivers under 21 or aspire helpfully that they wont tolerate any driver similar to a BAC higher than 0.08%.
Only grow old will tell whether or not disclose governments follow through on the current research. urge on in 2013, the National Transportation Safety Board recommended lowering Americas authenticated limit to 0.05%, but no disclose has yet to concentrate on this stricter limit.
Another admission has been to contextualize drunk driving, to define it in terms of out of the ordinary tragic condition. As the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) states: drunk driving is often a symptom of a larger problem: alcohol batter and abuse. The underlying premise to this advocate is that some drunk drivers bill vehicles though impaired because (in consequently many words) they cant urge on it. And if you acquire substance dependent persons treatment, you might admit some impaired drivers off the road in the thesame gesture.
Also telling is that the NHTSA refers to impaired driving, rather than drunk driving. In pedigree as soon as recent developments in addiction studies, the NHTSA has adopted the scientific convention that finds more tally than contrast in the midst of alcohol abuse and drug addiction in general.
This lineage of reasoning seems bolstered by statistical evidence. In a examination released by the National Institute upon Drug Abuse, researchers found that almost half of every drivers who were killed in crashes and tested certain for drugs as well as had alcohol in their system. In many cases, then, the misfortune is mixed. And the answer might be, too.


April 11, 2017 -- Moody's Investors Service has sent Houston a dire warning about the need for the Texas Legislature to approve the Houston Pension Solution. In its latest update on Houston's $3 billion taxpayer supported General Obligation debt, the agency cites the "lack of a sustainable pension plan to address growing pension liability" as a factor that could lead to a downgrade in the city's credit rating.
Houston's current credit rating from Moody's is Aa3 with a negative outlook. In summarizing its rationale for the rating, Moody's writes, "The City of Houston's Aa3 rating reflects a large and regional economy whose recent performance has been tempered by decreases in oil prices, and underperforming revenues, contributing to a weakened but still adequate financial performance. Additional considerations reflect high fixed costs, large unfunded pension liabilities (among the highest in the nation), as well as property tax caps. Also considered is the city's current reform plan, which if approved, could positively impact the city's long term fiscal position and stabilize the credit profile." Moody's is reserving any reconsideration of the existing rating until the conclusion of the legislative session in May.
If the legislature fails to pass reform, the General fund will incur over $130M in additional charges next fiscal year.
After receiving earlier endorsements from the Texas House Committee on Pensions and the Texas Senate Committee on State Affairs, the Houston Pension Solution is now awaiting floor votes in both chambers. The reform plan eliminates $8.1 billion in unfunded liability, caps future costs, does not require a tax increase and is budget neutral. The measure has strong support from City Council and two of the three employee pension systems as well as numerous other stakeholders.

Q: Does the training data for a CNN need to be the same size? According to the example given on this blogpost on wildml (see image below), it seems like it makes no difference what size the input because the size of the max-pooling layer is constant.

However, I swear I've heard people talk about various methods of normalizing input images by rescaling and cropping so that they are the same size. Would that be purely for the purpose of mini-batching? Or, is the pooling layer above a special case which allows uneven input sizes?

A: Indeed, CNNs typically use same-size input.
If you take a closer at step 3 in that blog posting:

*Pad each sentence to the maximum sentence length, which turns out to
  be 59. We append special  tokens to all other sentences to make
  them 59 words. Padding sentences to the same length is useful because
  it allows us to efficiently batch our data since each example in a
  batch must be of the same length.

You will see they are using fixed size input there as well.
For text processing in general, it is common to preprocess your data with word-embeddings. Methods such as tf-idf, word2vec and doc2vec take your words/text and provide fixed size numerical input.

Q: Getting around the 8192 byte var limit in NSIS? I'm supplying a c++ .dll to a user who is writing an installer via an NSIS script. Using System.dll, the user can call my .dll as such:
System::Call 'my.dll::GetJson(v) t .r0'
DetailPrint $0

The return value of GetJson() gets stored in $0. This is all working correctly, though GetJson() may return a json blob whose length is > 8192, in which case the value stored in $0 gets truncated.
I looked at trying to increase NSIS_MAX_STRLEN by building NSIS myself using scons, as mentioned here: https://nsis.sourceforge.io/Special_Builds
 scons NSIS_MAX_STRLEN=16384 PREFIX=C:\somewhere install-compiler install-stubs

However, after doing this, the NSIS-compiled .exes crashed upon running. It seems like 8192 may be some kind of memory limitation.
Is there any way around this for me? For example, would it be possible to call
System::Call 'mydll::GetJson(v) t .r0'

But instead of the return value being stored in $0, have it be split into chunks? Perhaps it's possible to write the contents of GetJson() to a file first, and then NSIS can read that and split it?
Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

A: If the user needs to edit a very long string you basically have two options:
Use the system plug-in to fill a text field on a nsDialogs custom page. You can't use the registers to store the string, you need to use ...func()p.r0 to get the raw address of the string from your plug-in and use Sendmesage to fill the text field. To save you need to allocate memory, get the text with SendMessage and write it to a file and finally free the memory.
The other option is to create the custom page with your custom plug-in.

Connecticut's Gov Malloy Declares War On Home Schooling
Filed under: Arrogance, Corruption, Education, Hypocrisy, Law Enforcement Thuggery, Liberty, Nanny State, Police State, Politics, Shame, Statism — Leave a comment
They Are Coming For Your Children
" Home-schoolers represent the only authentically radical social movement in the United States (Occupy Wall Street was a fashion statement) and so they must be suppressed, as a malevolent committee of leftist academics and union bosses under the direction of Governor Dannel Malloy is preparing to do in Connecticut, using the Sandy Hook massacre as a pretext. The ghouls invariably rush to the podium after every school massacre, issuing their insipid press releases before the bodies have even cooled, and normally they're after your guns. But the Malloy gang is after your children.
Malloy's committee on the Newtown shootings is recommending that Connecticut require home-schooling families to present their children to the local authorities periodically for inspection, to see to it that their psychological and social growth is proceeding in the desired direction. For anybody even passingly familiar with contemporary government schools, which are themselves a peerless source of social and emotional dysfunction, this development is bitterly ironic.
Adam Lanza was the product of madness, but he also was very much a product of the public schools and their allied institutions. He was briefly — very briefly — homeschooled after his parents had exhausted every other option. His mental troubles began long before he was home-schooled and were in fact well known to and documented by the various credentialed authorities under whose management he spent his youth, from his kindergarten therapists to the scholars at Yale's Child Study Center. Far from being removed from the public system, Lanza was still attending student-club meetings at Newtown's high school just before the horrific events at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
As City Journal notes, the Malloy gang says that Lanza's educational and medical records support its proposals, which is curious: Its members have no access to those records. But a government commission says that it is so, so it must be so."

In Cannes, 'Les Miserables' rings alarm for Paris suburbs
Actors Damien Bonnard, from left, Djebril Zonga, director Ladj Ly and actor Alexis Manenti pose for photographers at the photo call for the film 'Les Miserables' at the 72nd international film festival, Cannes, southern France, Thursday, May 16, 2019. (Photo by Vianney Le Caer/Invision/AP)
CANNES, France (AP) — More than 150 years after Victor Hugo's classic novel, a French film titled "Les Miserables" gives a gritty, modern view of the Paris suburbs where Jean Valjean first met Cosette.
Ladj Ly's "Les Miserables," which premiered Wednesday at the Cannes Film Festival, contains no singing or romance, but rather a tough, "The Wire"-like street-level portrait of the Parisian banlieue of Montfermeil. It's the same neighborhood where the 37-year-old Ly grew up and still lives.
Ly says he made his movie as "an alarm bell" for the plight of kids growing up in neighborhoods like Montfermeil.
"For the past 20 years, we've said things are not going well. We have the impression no one's listening," said Ly. "I wanted to address a message to Emmanuel Macron, the president of the Republic. It's important for him to see the film."
"For 20 years now, we have been yellow vests," he added, referencing the ongoing protests of working-class French. "We've been demanding our rights for the past 20 years. We've had to cope with police violence for over 20 years."
"Les Miserables," which is competing for the top Palme d'Or prize in Cannes, shows the Paris suburbs as a combustible powder keg, where neighborhood gang leaders and overanxious police are in a constant dance. Much of Ly's film revolves around the young kids growing up in the housing projects.
In 2015, the Paris banlieue of Clichy-sous-Bois exploded in riots that put an international spotlight on the lives of immigrants and French-Africans in the areas surrounding Paris.
"One shouldn't forget that three-fourths of the people who live in these housing estates are French," said Ly. "Now we have the impression that there are different classifications of citizenship. But we're just French full stop, so accept us as French, full stop."
Other recent films have sought to capture the reality of the banlieues, including "La Haine" and "Dheepan," which won the Palme d'Or in 2015. "Les Miserables," Ly's feature directing debut, drew largely strong reviews in Cannes for its muscular genre work and passionate social commentary.
"One century later, misery, abject poverty is still present in these housing estates," said Ly.

ARTICLES Player Analysis Tactical Analysis Uncategorized
Video Analysis: Jadon Sancho's best quality on show against Crystal Palace
by Cain Smith 10th December 2021 10th December 2021
Leave a Comment on Video Analysis: Jadon Sancho's best quality on show against Crystal Palace
Jadon Sancho has started to settle down at Manchester United after scoring his first Premier League and Champions League goals for the club against Chelsea and Villarreal.
However, dispalys against Arsenal and Crystal Palace were also clear examples of how good the winger can really be, and there was a particular clip against the Eagles that I wanted to highlight.
In the clip, Sancho essentially displays what is the perfect use of gravity. That is when a player will often draw multiple players towards him due to his threat on the ball. We've seen that Mason Greenwood has strong gravity due to his excellent shooting ability, and he often drags defenders towards him when he is on the ball in the final third.
The United academy graduate is not always the best at utilising his gravity to help his team, but we hve seen clear improvements from him in this department, and it was a factor in his assist for the winning goal against Palace. After receiving, he had three opponents close him down, including Cheikhou Kouyate, who left his zone on the edge of the box.
Greenwood then plays the pass to the eventual goalscorer Fred, who has time to place his shot since Kouyate was dragged towards Greenwood. Gravity. And using it well.
In the 57th minute of the same game, where United were looking for the opening goal, Sancho gave a lesson in how to best use your gravity; mixed with some wonderful close control.
After Harry Maguire headed the ball back to the wide-man, Sancho firstly recognised the space to run into and didn't hesitate to exploit it.
His solid first-touch, direct running towards the box and close control allowed him to entice three Palace players towards him. But he then waited for the perfect opportunity to pass the ball. A shot was not once in his mind as he ran towards the six yard box, and the pass to Marcus Rashford was optimal as his marker left him to chase the parading winger.
Sancho waiting that extra split-second to make the pass may not seem important, but it personified his awareness, elite control, technical consistency and ability to know when to make the pass.
While Rashford's effort was foiled after he was unaware of the incoming defender. The play from Sancho was exquisite, and you almost wished that he was passing the ball to himself inside the area. While Rashford is definitely not poor when it comes to close control and technical consistency; he's just not quite on Sancho's level.
It didn't end in a goal, and it probably wasn't remembered by too many, but this chance was a perfect example of knowing how to use your gravity as a dangerman in the final third and it is one of Sancho's best attributes.

My lookout for news stories landed me on a move by some greedy people coming up with a formal proposal submitted to the government in October 1988 to import toxic wastes camouflaging it under the cover of generating cheap electricity by burning such wastes for producing caustic chlorine using only sea water. The proposed plant was to be sited in Sitakundu, Chittagong. The suppliers of wastes from Philadelphia, United States had clearly mentioned the hazardous chemicals that would be with the wastes.
The proposal was addressed to the Department of Industries, now the Board of Investment, for setting up the said Caustic Chlorine Plant. As a matter of routine for environmental clearance the proposal was referred to the Department of Environmental Pollution Control (DEPC). Men behind the proposal moved with its files and made no mistake of giving sugar-coated warnings to DEPC people. 'Gain materially by becoming consultants of the project, or else what is the guarantee that you return home from office safe.' Thus the work of the DEPC was made difficult.
Experts however knew well that the wastes proposed to be imported had little combustible properties to create enough heat for generating electricity to run a caustic chlorine plant. They also knew that generators of such hazardous wastes actually paid money to the importers for helping them get rid of those because safe disposal of hazardous wastes was even more costly. The project proposal said Taka 666 million would be invested to construct the said caustic chlorine plant and that initially two shiploads of hazardous wastes would be imported.
DEPC officials considered themselves to be too small fries and were frightened to be quoted. The story thus had to be done by putting the whole thing into a big mouth. This writer first contacted the then DG of the Department of Industries Faizur Raqqaque who refused to be quoted but hinted that the matter was lying with the Ministry of Industries. A meetig on the proposal held at the department was 'cancelled for unavoidable reasons.' A department source said at that time they has no objection to the setting up of the proposed plant provided the Ministry of Commerce allowed the import of industrial wastes. The greedy people who moved the proposal managed to enlist the blessings of a person close to the then Head of the State and thus people concerned remained tight lipped as the file moved from place.
The then Prime Minister Barrister Moudud Ahmed who was also in charge of the Ministry of Industries addressed a news briefing at the Ganabhaban, now the Prime Minister's official residence, before going on a month-long tour of Europe to promote Bangladesh's exports. This writer tried this opportunity to assess if the Premier was aware of the move and if so his stand on the same. Replying to one question from me he said, 'Import of wastes was prohibited in the country' and jokingly added they may consider allowing this if a journalist like me applied for the same. Other journalists present looked at me with scoffing faces. But I knew what I was after. Clearly Moudud Ahmed was not aware of the move.
Another meeting was held at the Ministry of Commerce on October 24, 1988 invited representatives of concerned agencies. Representatives of the Department of Environmental Pollution Control and the Atomic Energy Commission raised serious objection to the idea of importing hazardous industrial wastes which could pose a serious threat to the environment. But the meeting ended inconclusively. Meanwhile, the authorities concerned gave a No Objection Certificate (NOC) the proposal on condition that the entrepreneurs should obtain clearance for the import of wastes.
Dhaka University Prof Syed Zahir Haider, a legend in the Department of Chemistry, was very useful in ascertaining that the proposal was meant to hoodwink the people in the government to actually import hazardous wastes for money. After seeing the papers given by US exporters of the wastes he said the wastes mentioned would not burn, extra materials would have to be used to get those burned. The toxic chemicals that were to be mixed with those would seriously harm the surrounding environment during the incineration process. He also said that such wastes were dumped on third world countries to avoid expensive safe disposal. He was ready to be quoted for his interpretation of the proposal for the import of toxic wastes.
It was learnt from one source that the proposal would be discussed at the Ministry of Industries at a meeting to be presided over by its secretary. This writer waited for the meeting to be held and at the close of the meeting one day, called the Industries Secretary over the telephone. A surprised secretary said that the proposal was discussed but no decision was made. The much needed big mouth was thus found to put the entire story into and this writer prepared the story for publication in The Bangladesh Times, a paper under the then Government Newspaper Management Board. News Desk people wanted to give the writer a byline, but as he preferred not to have a byline they became suspicious and referred the story to Editor Shahidul Huq. The editor sought to know the story's details and suggested that positive its points should be written first and then the negative points be given space. 'I don't want to kill your story, but you have to follow this policy to get it published.'
This writer consulted some senior professional colleagues who suggested, instead of writing all positive points at the beginning, write two positive points to be juxtaposed by one negative point at the beginning before developing the whole story. After this trial and error the story came out on November 03 the same year.
This story led to the publication of a series of articles, editorials and features in different newspapers against the move to import hazardous industrial wastes. The scientific community of Bangladesh which cooperated with newspapers in projecting the story by giving expert opinions also issued a strongly worded statement. The statement issued by the Council of the Bangladesh Association for the Advancement of Sciences (BAAS) on November 23 was published in all Dhaka dailies.
A week later on November 29, 1988 the government 'warned against attempts to import toxic wastes into the country. The official reaction as was published in newspapers ran thus … 'attempts are being made to import toxic wastes dangerous for all living beings – on various pretexts, claiming that these are needed for industrial and other uses. … the import of wastes is banned under the import licensing policy. Therefore, everyone should be alerted that such attempts to bring in dangerous materials be foiled.'
Following the publication of the official reaction, circulated through the Press Information Department (PID), two orders were issued from the President's Secretariat on two successive days – November 30 and December 1, 1988. In the first order the Department of Environmental Pollution Control was asked to take necessary measures in cooperation with the media to convey the message that such wastes could under no circumstances be allowed to be imported. In the second the department was asked to create awareness among the people about the dangers of importing wastes from developed countries.

Q: How to check if Excel sheet contains activeX control? I try to create a macro, placed in Workbook_Open() procedure, which adds items for combo boxes, named CBTask for each sheet in workbook, (which has combo box named CBTask in it).
Unfortunatelly following code generates Compile error: Method or data member not found"
I believe it is because not every sheet has CBTask in it (even on error resume next does not help).
Is there any way to check if sheet contains combo box, so I could do the checking before trying clear it, or adding new items?
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim i As Integer
Dim strTaskName As String

On Error Resume Next
For Each ws In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
    ws.CBTask.Clear
    strTaskName = taskName(1)
    Do
        ws.CBTask.AddItem strTaskName
        strTaskName = taskName(i)
        i = i + 1
    Loop While taskName <> "LastOne"
Next ws
On Error GoTo 0
End Sub

(as you can see, this code also uses additional function "taskName(intSubtaskValue as integer)" to convert integer to string (e.g. taksName(1) = "Task01", taskName(2) = "Task02...)

A: The Worksheet class doesn't have a member named CBTask which is why that code fails. I suggest you use the OLEObjects property instead:
ws.OLEObjects("CBTask").Object.Clear

A: To expand on Rory's answer, in addition to fully qualifying your objects, you can check if an ActiveX-control of a given name exists on a worksheet by using this function:
Function obj_exists(obj_name As String, on_worksheet As Worksheet) As Boolean
  On Error GoTo errHandler
  Debug.Print on_worksheet.OLEObjects(obj_name).Name
  obj_exists = True
  On Error GoTo 0
  Exit Function
errHandler:
  obj_exists = False
  On Error GoTo 0
End Function

Murphy commits to free community college tuition, but the math is fuzzy
The Democratic nominee for governor backed off an estimate of $400 million to cover tuition at community colleges
Murphy commits to free community college tuition, but the math is fuzzy The Democratic nominee for governor backed off an estimate of $400 million to cover tuition at community colleges Check out this story on northjersey.com: https://njersy.co/2ya58XM

Phil Murphy, the Democratic Party's nominee for governor, committed on Monday to providing free community college to residents, seizing on a progressive but costly proposal that would place New Jersey among a handful of states picking up the cost of tuition.
Although Murphy has said in the past that he favors tuition-free college, he put it at the top of his list of priorities to improve workforce development that he announced during a news conference in Trenton with U.S. Sen. Cory Booker, D-Newark.
Murphy, who has been criticized for the price tags associated with his proposals, initially said that providing free tuition could cost as much as $400 million. But his campaign later said it has been done for much less elsewhere and that it would be about half of what Murphy said it would. The campaign cited a study by the Campaign for Free College Tuition that estimated it would cost $197.5 million for New Jersey to offer free college, and that it its own calculations aligned with that study.
The federal government also "plays a big role" in the cost of community college, Murphy said, so "this won't be as costly as many critics might have you believe."

The idea of the government offering tuition-free community college has recently gained prominence among Democrats, but few have been able to put it into practice. Three states have free community college tuition in place, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures, and several others have moved legislation toward that goal. And a law signed by Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo of New York that was billed as tuition-free college for the middle class turned out to be a cost-cutter with a number of caveats.
Story continues after poll
The notion of states or the federal government offering free college has plenty of detractors, including the Republican governor Murphy is seeking to replace next year, Chris Christie. When Christie was running for president, he panned the idea as a "typical liberal approach" that "is wrong."
"There are always costs involved, and if college graduates are going to reap the greater economic rewards and opportunities of earning a degree, then it seems fair for them to support the cost of the education they're receiving. Earning a degree should actually involve earning it," Christie said.
To Murphy, providing free college tuition is a strategic move in the interest of the state. It is part of a broader strategy that he unveiled Monday designed to improve the state's workforce development program by filling skills gaps and increase the state's economic competitiveness. The tuition program would likely be phased in over two to four years, he said.
"This is investing in the economy," he said. "This is investing in our most important asset, which is our people, so the return on the investment, if you will, is significant and relatively soon."
Murphy's workforce development plan also includes the expansion of apprenticeship programs, investing in vocational-technical education programs, providing all public school students with access to computer coding skills, making job training programs more inclusive for individuals with disabilities and criminal backgrounds, and strengthening the clean energy and "climate resilience" sectors.
"New Jersey needs to be put on an entirely new economic course" after nearly eight years of leadership under Christie and Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno, the Republican nominee for governor, Murphy said.

But the Christie administration has moved in a similar direction as what Murphy envisions. In recognition of the skills gap in some sectors of the economy, Christie has expanded the state's "career connections" program that links all 19 of New Jersey's community colleges to employers and job resources. And Christie has said that by the end of his term his administration will have invested more than $1 billion in expanding and modernizing community colleges.
When asked about the differences between his proposals and what Christie has already done, Murphy said, "Kids still pay."
"The fact is you want to open the doors up," Murphy went on. "This is making it affordable, accessible for everybody who wants to go on that path."
Guadagno, Murphy's rival in the November election, is running on a platform of cutting costs. And on Monday she criticized Murphy's tuition proposal as yet another expensive addition to his list of goals if elected.
"No such thing as a free lunch," Guadagno said on Twitter. "Taxpayers will have to work longer and harder to pay for all of your proposals and tax increases, Phil."

Booker, who has a strong working relationship with Christie, embraced Murphy's proposals as long overdue.
"There is an urgent need for us to re-imagine and recharge our training in this state," Booker said.

DJ Quiana (Quiana Parks) describes a day in her life as, "… a roller coaster of art, music, and expression, but focus is the essence." Although Quiana never has a set schedule, she has her daily rituals: fitness routines and above all – prayer.
Quiana has been cancer-free for nine years, but when she was diagnosed with lymphoma – she remembers feeling completely numb, "I did not feel anything until I looked in the mirror. I would not look at it. But, when I did – that was when it really hit me… I hate chemo. Chemo was not my friend. I know it helped me, but it was more like a mean teacher there to help. I could not stand it." It was a challenging time, but Quiana drew her strength and resilience from a higher source: God. She was not DJ'ing during her chemo sessions, but when Quiana overcame the battle in 2005 – it propelled her to start DJ For A Cure, a foundation that aligned her craft with a cause that she strongly believed in. DJ For a Cure aims to educate, support, and raise the awareness of cancer – by gathering DJs, visionaries, and survivors who use their creativity to empower patients and connect them through the power of music.
PUMA® and DJ Quiana Parks will kick off the summer with DJ For a Cure's 2nd event on June 26th in New York City (flyer below). There will be board games, prizes from Krink, music by DJs Austin Millz and Charles Browne, and hosted by DJ Kiss and Chef Roblé. Quiana will also be auctioning off one of her oil paintings as a donation to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.
As a cancer survivor, what advice would you give to women who are going through the same thing you went through? Put yourself in the mind frame that you are cured. No matter how things look, there are two ways you can come out of a situation: feeling ugly – with a veil of fear OR having faith – and the beauty of never giving up.
Where can we learn more about DJ For A Cure? How can we help out? www.djforacure.com and www.twitter.com/djforacure – for more info check out the website and please donate to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society!
How have the women in your life been instrumental in your life and career? My mother introduced me to music. My sister supports me in everything I do. My mentors DJ Kiss and Sapphira M. HIll guide me along the way.
Cultural trends constantly change. What do you do to stay relevant, connected, and ahead of the curve? I just try to be myself and never worry about the trends.
How do you keep track of your personal and business goals – and stay creative at the same time (even when you're exhausted)? My sister Qyera keeps me balanced with all that I do!
How important are mentors? Who is your mentor? DJ Kiss and Sapphira are amazing and influential women who have helped me when Google could not, haha.
What place inspires you the most? Art Basel for their amazing music and artists.
When do you feel most powerful? When I am behind the DJ booth and everyone is dancing – even that one person in the room that you never thought in a million years would bust out a move, haha – that is when I feel most powerful.
Why do you love what you do? I get to live for a living.
Define your idea of success. Happiness.

Longer term, however, the potential is to scale up what's learned at the home or neighborhood level to commercial structures such as office buildings and even utility-scale projects. Tesla and Mercedes-Benz Energy Americas both have commercial divisions, and a spokesperson for the latter said the company is already eyeing energy business opportunities beyond residential batteries.
From a business model standpoint, the company is looking to replicate the model of spinning out more agile technology divisions pioneered with Daimler carsharing subsidiary car2go — a model being replicated by others in the industry, such as General Motors offshoot Maven and Ford Smart Mobility, although those ventures so far have been focused on ridesharing and connected car technology over new energy business lines.
"Being our own entity gives us the ability to navigate the energy storage space with the speed and flexibility of a startup, while still utilizing the resources and power of the Mercedes-Benz brand," according to the statement from Mercedes-Benz Energy Americas, which added that the company's parent automaker plans to have 10 all-electric models on the market by 2022.
While the race accelerates between automakers trying to get out ahead in the fast-moving energy storage industry, those working in renewable energy are eager to apply their parent company's next generation EVs to evolving energy systems.
Drive your electric car to your solar-powered home, plug it in to charge and enjoy the flexibility provided by the oversized battery parked in the driveway.
It's a long-sought environmental ideal, but one that may be getting closer to reality as automakers throw their technical expertise and deep pockets more directly into new ventures in the energy business.
All told, Greentech Media counted 10 battery "Gigafactories" in the works worldwide as of late June, although Musk has teased several additional Tesla plants. Along with large-scale projects driven by Tesla and a $500 million-plus Daimler factory being built in Germany, businesses in other industries are also investing in battery production infrastructure, including Johnson Controls and a range of global power company consortiums.
A Bloomberg New Energy Finance forecast predicts that major automakers such as Volkswagen and Renault will provide demand for a significant amount of new battery manufacturing capacity expected to come online in the next four years. By 2021, Bloomberg expects capacity to reach 278 gigawatt-hours, up from about 103 gigawatt-hours now.

Q: Target css:after via Jquery? Is it possible to target a css classname:after via jquery to alter a style dynamically?
I have a css arrow in a slider - i'd like to change color based on percentage complete - at the moment I have -
 $('.red-bar:after').css("background-color", "#1da9f5");

Which doesnt work!  any ideas?

A: You'll want to use the .next() function:
http://api.jquery.com/next/
$('.red-bar').next().css("background-color", "#1da9f5");

More info:
.next() gets the next sibling of the selected item. If you want to add new content after the selected item, use .after().
Example:

Now, if you call: $("#my_id").next().html("Hello");, you'll get:

Hello

But if you call $("#my_id").after("Hello");, you'll get:

Hello


In a world first, the largest South African online food retailer has implemented a food recommendation engine linked to a person's DNA profile. "We are extremely excited about this new initiative", said Ms. Boterbloem from the company. "We assist our clients to find the best culinary fit with their own DNA, and hopefully contribute to allow them to live longer, healthier lives".
The Company's website requests you to either link your DNA profile to the site, or for you to complete critical information on the most important DNA markers. Once you start ordering food on their website, the final grocery list is categorised into green, yellow and red categories, all linked to the dietary fit with your unique DNA profile. Green signifies a good dietary fit, with yellow being linked to food that have to be limited in your diet, and red indicating food that best be avoided.
This initiative started with the small, but influential APOE4 community in Cape Town. Mrs. Werbist Dunochmal, the chairperson of the APOE4 action group explains: "We had a horrible time in obtaining the optimal food to support a Blastic supportive diet in order to limit the runaway proliferation of Beta-alloids in the brain due to a Clastic diet. The Ketone centric part of our diet where we fasted for 14 hours each day, was the easy part. The difficult part was obtaining the food that supports the diet. This include milk and yogurt from Cassian A2 cows, Quinoa pasta, coconut-based breakfast cereal and nightshade replacements." The APOE4 action group was supported by the Multiple Sclerosis Action group and the Parkinson's action group, upon which the company decided to launch this initiative as an experiment.
In order to launch this initiative, food retailer had to acquire the assistance of a number of Genetic Dietician graduates, freshly minted by the world-renowned University of Stellenbosch. They were joined by a group of Data Scientists who merged the DNA data profiles with the latest dietary recommendations.
This new initiative also prompted a number of farmers to change their product mix and sell their products into a receptive client base. Although the replacement products retail for more than 3 times the products they replace, Ms. Boterbloem predicts that increased supply and more effective demand management will lead to a larger throughput of products and a subsequent increase in competition.


Corporate Office Properties Trust Inc. corporation that specializes in office development, and describes itself as "a fully integrated, self-managed real estate investment trust that focuses on the acquisition, development, ownership, management and leasing of suburban office properties primarily in select Mid-Atlantic submarkets." Company headquarters is in Columbia, Maryland.
Is Corporate Office Properties Trust's estimated NPS of 1 considered to be good?
Consider an example: If Corporate Office Properties Trust sends out NPS surveys immediately after purchase, they are tracking their customers' initial excitement and the checkout experience.
Therefore, comparing the NPS score of Corporate Office Properties Trust with your own without any further context is not that useful.

Manitoba is one of the three Prairie provinces in Canada, the other two being Saskatchewan and Alberta. Prairie means "plains" in French and refers to the fact that most of the province consists of vast, flat plains with very few trees or hills.
Manitoba derives its name from a native Cree word that means "the narrows of the Great Spirit," originating from the word "Man-into-wahpaow". This describes Lake Manitoba and its narrowness.
Manitoba is located at the heart of the giant Hudson Bay watershed. This area was of importance to the Hudson's Bay Company, and it provided excellent opportunities for the lucrative fur trade.
The province entered the Canadian Confederation in 1870 following the Manitoba Act.

Nick Lowe learned his craft in the '60s. Working with Rockpile and as a producer for early Elvis Costello albums, he played a crucial role in bringing New Wave British rock to America in the '70s and '80s. Originally released in 1976, "Heart of the City," was a perfect two minute pop song, grounded in the '60s with just enough of a '70s sound to be current.
The Strypes have clearly learned from their predecessors. Their "Heart of the City" is not far removed from the original, but is updated with a little more distortion and sense of abandon. The Strypes are showing where they came from even as they forge their own identity.

If you attended Ad:tech this year then mobile would be a word that you are very familiar with, as it was the focus of many of the seminars. We learned a great deal about the growing importance of the role of mobile, and particularly the user journey provided by brands on mobile platforms.
We have all heard it before, and it looks as though we are set to continue to hear 'this is the year of mobile' However with impressive statistics like 80% of consumers watching TV with a mobile device in their hands it would be foolish to not try to understand and map what kind of mobile experience you are providing your consumer.

Luxottica fined by French antitrust authority
Author: Mike Hale
Luxottica Group, part of the EssilorLuxottica corporation, has been fined €125 million by the French Competition Authority (FCA) for unfairly controlling the prices opticians could charge for its eyewear products between 2005 and 2014.
The FCA stated: 'These practices, anticompetitive in aim, are serious. Specifically, they entailed the use of mechanisms of surveillance and reprisal. Moreover, they affected consumers, some of them captive and vulnerable, given that eye-glasses and, in some cases, sunglasses, are a necessity.'
EssilorLuxottica acknowledged the decision and said it will appeal with the belief that the decision is wrong from both a factual and legal point of view.
'EssilorLuxottica firmly believes it has always conducted business according to the highest standard of compliance, always supporting customers, partners as well as the entire market,' it said in a statement.

How Breaking a Nondisclosure Agreement Works
by Dave Roos
Nondisclosure Agreements in Legal Settlements
Harvey Weinstein appears at his arraignment in court on July 9, 2018 in New York City. Weinstein, previously arrested for sexual assault against two accusers, was arraigned on three new charges. Weinstein had several employees sign NDAs where they agreed not to go public with sexual misconduct allegations. Jefferson Siegel-Pool/Getty Images
Disgraced movie mogul Harvey Weinstein and his production company settled sexual harassment lawsuits with at least eight women over the past three decades [source: Martin]. The details of those settlements — including what the women accused Weinstein of doing and how much money they received to drop the case — have been hidden from public scrutiny because each of Weinstein's accusers signed an NDA as part of the deal.
This is not unusual. It's now become standard practice in employment lawsuits for both parties to sign NDAs promising that they will not talk to anyone about the accusations made in the lawsuit or the amount of the settlement itself [source: Bond and Croft]. While settlement NDAs have been criticized as attempts to silence victims of sexual harassment, they also carry benefits for accusers.
First, an NDA encourages the defendant to settle and offer a monetary payout. The defendant may see no reason to settle if the accuser is free to talk about the alleged wrongs in the press and continue to sully the defendant's good reputation. By settling, the accuser can save money on legal fees and is guaranteed at least some money, which is not necessarily the case if the lawsuit goes to trial [source: Stevens and Subar].
Also, many accusers, including victims of sexual harassment, want justice for their mistreatment, but don't necessarily want to go public with the details of what happened. When both parties sign an NDA as part of a settlement, the victim can feel like the whole episode is behind them. Otherwise, there's a risk that the accused abuser could badmouth the victim in the press and harm their chances at future employment [source: Martin].
But looking at the other side, some legal experts argue that the use of NDAs in legal settlements deletes critical information from the public record. Society benefits from an open and transparent legal system in which the public has the right to know about accusations of bad behavior [source: Burdge]. For example, would you go to a dentist that's settled 10 malpractice lawsuits in the past five years? You'd never know if those settlements were protected by NDAs.
Clearly, the defendant in a lawsuit benefits if the accusations made against him or her aren't published all over the internet. And since a settlement isn't an admission of guilt, one could argue that it doesn't need to be in the public record. It's as if the lawsuit was dropped.
But hiding the details of settlements behind NDAs prevents victims of sexual harassment and other workplace abuses from sharing their story with coworkers and the public. Because Weinstein's alleged victims signed NDAs, they couldn't speak up and potentially protect future victims. Instead, the cycle of abuse was allowed to continue.
Still, some people make the risky decision to break their NDAs in order to break their silence. What could be the legal fallback?

Q: How to get a disk to pick out to put Mountain Lion on? I can't find a disk to select to install OS  X in Internet Recovery Mode. Also I can not erase the disk or partition. I gave all the details.
Two days ago I decided to do a clean wipe on my MacBook Pro with factory SSD and Mountain Lion. I not able to reinstall the fresh OS X Mountain Lion from Internet recovery because the drive to select wont show up when you have to pick where to install the OS X in Disk Utility. If I try to erase the original disk start up it just hangs and says it's partitioning. I gave a detailed description from start to now on what is happening can anyone help? I believe it has to be fixed some how in terminal.
First I went into my local recovery of High Sierra and did an erase of the disk.
Then I did an Internet Recovery and erased the disk0s2 partition. (Everything went good)
After that I did an erase for the main disk start up 500.28 GB Apple SSD SD512E Media. (Which got stuck or my internet crashed) I quit disk utility.
Then I got back in Internet Recovery and again I tried to erase the disk start up 500.28 GB Apple SSD SD512E Media. (This time on the bottom right corner where it shows a progress bar it starts out with and stays in Partitioning. Estimated time less than 1 minute but it never progresses and the time keeps growing I tried leaving it for over 12 hours and a few other attempts no luck).
I checked my system with the quick AHT and everything is fine got no issues. Did the test a few times.
I think I will have to do something in terminal. I believe the drives are getting confused with some sort of formatting issues. Below I have stated what exactly happens and all the options I have available in Disk Utility.
When I restart and go into internet recovery mode. disk0s2 partition always comes back but is grayed out. If I click on it all buttons are grayed out as well cant do anything other than erase. When I erase it I get this error: Volume Erase Failed. Volume Erase failed with error: MediaKit reports bad partition or no map found.
After trying to Erase disk0s2 partition if I try to erase the main disk start up 500.28 GB Apple SSD SD512E Media I always get the same issue where in the right bottom corner it shows the progress that it is Partitioning. Estimated time less....and the time keeps climbing slowly till it hangs.
Now after if I have attempted to erase the main disk 500.28 GB Apple SSD SD512E Media. Things change than they are at first from without having any erase attempts. After the attempts the fix buttons get grayed out with the  500.28 GB Apple SSD SD512E Media. Before any erase attempts on partition tab on main disk I am able to verify disk it says everything is good and partition is ok. When I try to click repair disk it says Error: Couldn't repair the partition map...EFI system partition could not be created. I can open the partition tab and see disk0s2 but everything is grayed out but keeping in mind if I try to erase the disk0s2 or 500.28 GB Apple SSD SD512E Media the partition tab becomes empty where I can created another partition but it never happens and gets stuck in the progress bar in the right corner says waiting for partition to reappear.
This is what 500.28 GB Apple SSD SD512E Media bottom before I try to erase. Do remember that under this disk its the partition disk0s2 which is grayed out but if I try to erase it disappears unless I restart and get back into Internet Recovery.
Disk Description : APPLE SSD SD512E Media  Total Capacity : 500.28 GB (500,277,790,720 Bytes)
Connection Bus : SATA  Write Status : Read/Write
Type and Location : Solid State Disk, Internal  S.M.A.R.T. Status : Verified
Partition Map Scheme : GUID Partition Table

500.28 GB Apple SSD SD512E Media bottom after I try to erase. You can see how the Partition Map Scheme chages but this is after I try to erase and cancle where it gets stuck in Partitioning. Estimated....time.
Disk Description : APPLE SSD SD512E Media  Total Capacity : 500.28 GB (500,277,790,720 Bytes)
Connection Bus : SATA  Write Status : Read/Write
Type and Location : Solid State Disk, Internal  S.M.A.R.T. Status : Verified
Partition Map Scheme : Unformatted

All I need is help on how to get a disk to pick out to put Mountain Lion on. Right now it shows nothing and the install button is grayed out. Does it have something to with the sizes of the partitions not matching up to the total amount I have available?
This is what diskutil list looks like. I am not very tech-savvy but this is all the information I can offer. I don't understand why I have so many partitions when in Disk Utility all I see is 500.28 GB Apple SSD SD512E Media and under it disk0s2 which is grayed out.

A: While upgrading to High Sierra the main partition of an SSD (disk0s2) is converted to APFS - Apple's new file system introduced 2016 in Sierra.
Older system versions like Mountain Lion don't contain APFS drivers and neither diskutil nor Disk Utility can handle the partition type of file system properly. In Internet Recover Mode (depends on the key combination) you are probably booted to a Mountain Lion base system.
There are several methods to remove the "unknown" partition.
One is outlined below:

*

*In Internet Recovery Mode open Terminal: menubar > Utilities

*Enter diskutil list to get the details
Usually the internal disk has the device node disk0. All other disks are either external disks or related to Internet Recovery Mode (disk1-disk12 in your example)

*If external disks are attached (probably all disks larger than 2 GB - including thumb drives, but don't unmount/eject your internal disk), unmount, eject and detach them:
diskutil umountDisk diskX
diskutil eject diskX

The UAE's private school sector is expected to continue to drive growth in the country's education market until 2020, according to a new report by PwC.
More than 175,000 additional seats are predicted to be required in the K-12 segment in the next four years, 90% of which will come from private schools.
Other significant findings of the report show that based on historic demographic trends, Dubai is forecast to require 74,500 additional seats in 50 new private schools by 2020, while 62,000 additional seats in 52 new private schools in the same period will be needed in Abu Dhabi.
PwC Middle East education director Roland Hancock said: "Making sense of a rapidly evolving education market in the Gulf region is challenging given the availability of information. In our emerging series of reports - Understanding the GCC Education Sector - we profile each of the six countries in the GCC, to contribute to a better appreciation of the trends and issues being faced by decision makers in both the private and public sectors."
Sally Jeffery, PwC Middle East education & skills partner and PwC global education sector leader added: "The public education systems in the GCC are using national curricula, which have a lot of reform to go through still. They are not as mature as international curricula and content and the pedagogy is very different. They are putting a lot of effort into modernising their curricula but that process is difficult to do it quickly.
"In the private sector there are a couple of areas that are underserved. Pre-school is growing at twice the rate of K-12 and that demand can be met by smaller sized facilities, and regulation - particularly pricing - is less controlled than in K-12, although this may be changing as the government focuses more on early learning. There are also gaps in higher education, which need development funding, particularly for STEM [science, technology, engineering and mathematics] subjects, which are much needed, but expensive to operate. Leading STEM universities world-wide depend heavily on their endowment funds."
With the increasing number of schools, parents also have more choice when picking a school for their children.
It is expected that cost will play a critical role in changing the supply-demand dynamic, with calls for Dubai to have more quality schools below the average annual tuition of AED40,000.
More insights from the report include that in Dubai, UK and Indian curriculum schools continue to dominate but that IB curriculum schools are becoming an increasingly popular option among parents. Meanwhile, in Abu Dhabi, Indian and American curriculum schools are driving growth but British curriculum schools remain popular choices with parents considering admission to lower cost European higher education institutes.
The data was released ahead of GESS Dubai, which is scheduled to run from March 14-16 at Dubai World Trade Centre.
