Biff Manard (c. 1943 – May 19, 2014) was an American actor.

Background

Born in either 1939 or 1943 according to certain sources, Manard appeared in numerous movies and making guest spots on popular TV shows for many decades, such as Officer Michael Francis Murphy on The Flash, but he is perhaps best known for his role as "Hap" Ashby in the low budget science-fiction adventure Trancers, in a supporting role as a washed up baseball player, who is targeted by a psychic assassin from the future. He returned to this role in Trancers II, and in 1985 he also had reunited with co-stars Art LaFleur and Tim Thomerson for the zany Zone Troopers. He died in 2014 in Las Vegas aged 71 after being ill for quite a long time, but it is not known what ailment caused his death.

OPEC is discussing how much oil it should remove from world markets following a price crash in recent months.
Members of the oil cartel meeting in Vienna on Thursday are ready to ignore President Donald Trump's repeated calls to keep output steady. But the scale of the production cut remains subject to debate.
A senior OPEC delegate told CNN Business that members are trying to achieve a consensus to cut output by 1.3 million barrels a day. But OPEC's de facto leader, Saudi Arabia's energy minister Khalid Al-Falih, told reporters a cut on that scale might be "excessive" given a recent decision by Canada to scale back its production.
US crude oil was trading about 2% weaker below $52 a barrel. It hit a four-year high above $76 in early October. Brent crude plunged by nearly 3% to around $60 a barrel.
Even if OPEC reaches an agreement on Thursday, it will need to persuade Russia to cut production too. The alliance between OPEC and the world's second largest producer dates back to 2016, when they first agreed to cut production to halt a damaging price collapse.

Beginning with the initial premise that as the Internet has a global character, the paper will argue that the normative evaluation of digital information on the Internet necessitates an evaluative model that is itself universal and global in character [1]. The paper will show that information has a dual normative structure that commits all disseminators of information to both universal epistemological and ethical norms. Based on the dual normative characterization of information the paper will seek to demonstrate: (1) that information and internet information (interformation) specifically, has an inherent normative structure that commits its producers, disseminators, communicators and users, everyone in fact that deals with information, to certain mandatory epistemological and ethical commitments; and (2) that the negligent or purposeful abuse of information in violation of the epistemological and ethical commitments to which it gives rise is also a violation of universal rights to freedom and wellbeing.

'I said to everyone' - Harry Kane praises young Spurs teammate for Palace performance

Tottenham Hotspur star Harry Kane has been speaking to Football.London after the win against Crystal Palace, and he had plenty of praise for his young teammate Bryan Gil.
Gil joined Tottenham from Sevilla in the summer of 2021 for a fee reported to be in the region of £21.6m and with Erik Lamela heading in the opposite direction (Sky Sports).

It's been a difficult period for the young Spaniard though, who has had to wait patiently for opportunities with the Spurs first team. Despite making 20 appearances for the North London club last season, the majority of those were bit-part cameos from the bench (Transfermarkt).
The winger spent the second half of last season on loan with La Liga side Valencia before returning to Spurs. It looked increasingly likely he would return to Valencia again this season (Mundo Deportivo 23/08/22 – as relayed by SportWitness).
That fell through when Spurs failed to find a replacement, though (Domingo Ortiz).
Gil has been biding his time since, and has just eight appearances to his name for Spurs this campaign (Transfermarkt), with most of those again coming from the bench.
He may have made a breakthrough after a brilliant display in the 4-0 win against Crystal Palace last night, where he provided a fine assist, too.
The performance pleased teammate Kane, who said: "I'm really happy for Bryan. He's waited patiently for his chance, worked really hard on the training pitch. You've just got to the ready. I said to everyone, young or old, just be ready for your opportunity and Bryan was there today.
"He would have been a little bit disappointed after the last game but he came out and showed his quality. I'm delighted for him and I'm sure he'll be ready for the next one."
Hopefully, that performance is the start of something for Gil at Spurs now. He's an incredibly talented young player who always puts a shift in whenever he comes on, and he's been so patient too. He must have worked his way into Conte's plans now, so let's see what he can offer us for the rest of the season.

My father and I are planning to begin the Northville Placid Trail within the next two weeks and will necessitate a ride back to our car in Benson upon completing the trail in Lake Placid.
I suggest trying here: http://www.nptrail.org/ and follow the group on FB.
I'd also suggest leaving your car at the end in LP if possible, because that way you don't have to worry about being on time to meet a pre-arranged ride.
I might be able to help with your shuttle. I sent you a private message with contact information.
I would advise that you leave your vehicle at someone's house or a business and offer to pay them. The trailhead at LP has had break-ins over the years.

In Matthew 16:18, Jesus Christ informed his apostles that he would build his church upon "this rock." There has been some controversy through the ages regarding what Christ must have intended by that statement. The Papists, in order to bolster their unscriptural elevation of the Pope to the position of "head of the church," have claimed that the rock must be the apostle Peter. Protestants and others have consistently denied that to be the meaning of the passage. Although it is not the intention of the authors to spend a considerable amount of space defending the Protestant view, given our title we should devote at least some introductory space to the subject.

Nell'analisi matematica, la regola della somma è una regola di derivazione che permette di calcolare la derivata della somma di una serie di funzioni derivabili.

Definizione
La derivata della somma (algebrica) di una serie di funzioni derivabili in x è uguale alla somma delle singole derivate.

D[f(x)] e f'(x) sono notazioni che indicano il medesimo significato di derivata.

Dimostrazione
Dimostriamo inizialmente il caso di una somma con solo due addendi.

Applicando la definizione di derivata come limite del rapporto incrementale:

si deriva, ipotizzando entrambe le funzioni f(x) e g(x) derivabili in x, che:

Riordinando emerge subito che:

Siccome per la (1):

e quindi

Il caso generale di n addendi si ottiene ora per induzione dal caso particolare appena dimostrato. cvd.

Linearità della derivata
Più in generale, si può dire che la derivata è un operatore lineare: la derivata di una funzione derivabile moltiplicata per una costante è uguale alla costante moltiplicata per la derivata della funzione originaria:

Dunque un enunciato equivalente ai due precedenti è che la derivata "conserva" le combinazioni lineari:

per ogni  reali. Infatti ponendo  si ottiene la prima formula e per  la seconda.

Various cultural forces have co-opted Jewish peoplehood and covenantal responsibility among Jewish believers in Yeshua, and intermarried family constellations. Jewish identity is being defined genetically instead of covenantally. We have forgotten that we are a people whom God formed for himself to show forth his praise (Isaiah 43:21). As a result, our next generation and the ones after that are apt to have an even more tenuous or even non-existent connection to Jewish life and identity. This is not good, nor is it what God intended!
Let's look at a few problems that are causing this erosion. See if you don't agree that these problems cry out for new and effective solutions.
As failure to feed and care for an infant leads to its death, so the greatest sin of Jewish believers in Yeshua (Jesus) in our day lies in murdering the past through neglecting to preserve it. I am greatly distressed as I see signs of this neglect at every turn. If the preservation of the Jewish past and its treasures is dependent upon the awareness and devoted care of most of the people and institutions of Jewish believers in Yeshua, then all is lost, or very nearly so. But this past is a living treasure—not the kind of treasure one puts in a museum or a vault, but a treasured way of thinking, believing, and acting that enriches the individual, the family, and the community, connecting us to our holy past, and preparing for a prophesied holy future, bringing richness of relationship with oneself, with each other, with the entire created order, and with the Creator himself.
I awakened to this impending loss not long ago while participating in that baby-naming ceremony, where the Hebrew Christian clergyman preached. While explaining the importance in Jewish life of giving our children names that link us to our ancestors, I remarked how we Jews perform such rituals because we know ourselves to be a living link between our peoples' past and their future. The ritual reminds us that we are descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, Sarah, Rebecca, Rachel and Leah. Not only members of families, we are part of a people. We stand there conjoining a holy Jewish past and a holy Jewish future. "In fact, if we do not serve this linking purpose the past dies with us." This chilled me. But it is true. If we Jewish believers in Yeshua will not keep the past alive it will die.
Under the influence of current cultural trends, I now see precious few in the Messianic Jewish world who realize and who value their role as custodians of a holy past which God entrusted to our care to be preserved and delivered to coming generations. Paul spoke in related terms to Timothy, saying "Guard, through the Holy Spirit who dwells in us, the treasure which has been entrusted to you: (2 Tim 1:14). People are not guarding. More often they are discarding. Could it be that we have lost our sense of being part of a people, entrusted with this people's story and its holy things in the midst of time? It not only could be: it is.
Susceptible to the cultural trends around us, it seems that contemporary religious life is footnotes to René Descartes (1596-1650) who developed the principle of rationalism, locating the source of authority and epistemological certitude within. For him, the only sure starting point was oneself. He expressed this idea in his famous "cogito ergo sum" which should best be translated 'Because I know myself to be thinking, therefore I know that I am'. Certainty about truth begins and ends with me, and the authority to determine truth and falsehood, duty and freedom, reality and illusion is mine. Everything starts with oneself and one's inner life of thought and feeling.
Today, in the evangelicalized world of most Jewish believers in Yeshua, we are experiencing a full-blown Cartesian revolution. "I think, read, pray, repent, believe, accept Yeshua as my personal savior, and therefore I am a child of God, all by myself. Certainty about spiritual reality begins and ends in me." When evaluated against the sense of social obligation and accountability that often follow such a spiritual experience, one might say that often each such believer instinctively feels him- her-self to be not only a child of God, but also an only child.
This trend toward individualistic spirituality may also be understood as the narcissistic infantilizing of God-relationship, mirroring the pattern of an infant that knows him- her-self to be the center of all there is, with the world restricted to what the baby experiences. In the baby's worldview the self is the base of reality, and everything else is experienced as a source of threat or discomfort, of pleasure, nurture, love, attention, neglect, relief of discomfort or failure to do so. And at first, the infant does not even realize that anything or anyone is other: it experiences its world as an extension of itself.
Tradition means giving votes to the most obscure of all classes, our ancestors. It is the democracy of the dead. Tradition refuses to submit to the small and arrogant oligarchy of those who merely happen to be walking about. All democrats object to men being disqualified by the accident of birth; tradition objects to their being disqualified by the accident of death.
Sad, is it not, that many in our day not only have no regard for the past: they feel no obligation to the future. And so we are left with a spirituality of the immediate, or as comedian Flip Wilson brilliantly called it years ago, "The Church/Synagogue of What's Happening Now." However, Jewish believers in Yeshua did not disconnect from Jewish tradition unaided. We had help from the church.
That the Messianic Jewish world has learned to cut itself off from allegiance to the ways and worldview of our ancestors is partly due to a tradition of contempt, whereby many in the church have long viewed and taught Judaism to be little more than a launch pad for God's better alternative, the church. From the second century onward, the church learned to commend itself to the pagan world by discommending the Jews and their religion. A visit to most seminary classes in Pauline theology will demonstrate how the weight of Christian teaching and rhetoric portrays the commandments of Torah, and thus, the Jewish way of life, as burdensome and expired, and with its alleged death, Judaism left a vestigial religion and the Jewish community left to inherit for itself the language Paul applied to the pagans of his day: "strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world." "But be of good cheer," says the church. "We are the new Israel, so come and join us. Come and assimilate, forget who you were and become one of us." This is the sad legacy this tradition of contempt has bequeathed to the sons and daughters of Jews viewed as a discarded Plan A, while Jewish believers in Yeshua in Yeshua are invited and expected to come closer to God by forsaking their people and heritage. Yes, it is that bad, if not always and everywhere, certainly often.
Surely, not all Christians harbor such attitudes. That should be obvious. But that there are exceptions only goes to prove that there is a rule, and the rule is that Judaism and Jewish ritual life are regarded as a preliminary stage in God's plans for the world. Although Jews and Jewish life may be treated with courtesy, in truth, Jews and Judaism need to get over themselves. Or so we've been told.
All of these factors, cultural, theological and historical make their influence felt in the totality of life. Even the language used of God-relationship has shifted, both in the world at large and in the world of Jewish believers in Yeshua. I speak here for the moment of God-relationship because the terms religion and spirituality have become problematic Nowadays, "religion" as a set of rules, responsibilities, sanctions, and restraints is definitely out. "Spirituality" as a testimony to one's personal journey is definitely in.
The church and Messianic Jewish congregations are not only privatizing God-relationship. We are conceiving it on a vertical axis. It is "my personal relationship with God," and "Jesus is my personal savior," and the songs at my places of worship are most often in the first person, and even when they speak of God/Yeshua/the Holy Spirit in the second or third person, one will seldom if ever hear songs in the first person plural of who we are and of what God has done for us. It still more rare to find any contemporary Yeshua believing worship songs that speak of us Jews us as a people united in covenant relationship with other Jews across time, or in the Christian context of Christian believers similarly united with the trans-generational people of God. We do not have communal worship any more: we have multi-individual personal worship. People sing to God with closed eyes: it is all between ourselves and God, and the others in the room, or even in the past or the future, are reduced to the status of distractions. Hence the closed eyes.
We have lost the horizontal axis. We see relating well to others as a "nice" and "proper" and "expected" outcome of our personal relationship with God. So, if we can find a good congregation and the people seem "cool," we can try it out for a while. And if the worship team is hot, and the place has enough features that appeal to us, we might even join it and stay, that is, as long as things are happening. If the congregation becomes a disappointment, we can always go elsewhere, being careful not to slam the door on the way out. Indeed, some people leave so quietly you never notice they left. And some congregations are so preoccupied with the show up front, the members fail to notice who is present, who came in, and who just walked out.
More later as we look more at the situation, its problems, and a proposed solution.

Excellent post! As I read it .. I wondered how much longer the Messianic Jewish Movement can continue to function for its Jewish members without some dramatic changes. You speak the serious truth of a revolving door type of Faith….many blessings.


This e-book is a entire evaluate of the exact molecular mechanisms of and sensible crosstalk one of the replication, recombination, and service of DNA (collectively referred to as the "3Rs") and the similar tactics, with detailed recognition in their organic and medical outcomes. The 3Rs are primary molecular mechanisms for organisms to take care of and occasionally deliberately modify genetic info. DNA replication, recombination, and service, separately, were vital topics of molecular biology considering the fact that its emergence, yet we now have lately turn into acutely aware that the 3Rs are literally even more in detail on the topic of each other than we used to gain. additionally, the 3R learn fields were turning out to be much more interdisciplinary, with larger realizing of molecular mechanisms underlying different very important methods, resembling chromosome buildings and services, cellphone cycle and checkpoints, transcriptional and epigenetic rules, and so forth. This publication includes 7 components and 21 chapters: half 1 (Chapters 1–3), DNA Replication; half 2 (Chapters 4–6), DNA Recombination; half three (Chapters 7–9), DNA fix; half four (Chapters 10–13), Genome Instability and Mutagenesis; half five (Chapters 14–15), Chromosome Dynamics and services; half 6 (Chapters 16–18), mobile Cycle and Checkpoints; half 7 (Chapters 19–21), interaction with Transcription and Epigenetic legislation. This quantity should still allure the nice curiosity of graduate scholars, postdoctoral fellows, and senior scientists in wide study fields of simple molecular biology, not just the center 3Rs, but additionally a few of the similar fields (chromosome, mobilephone cycle, transcription, epigenetics, and related areas). also, researchers in neurological sciences, developmental biology, immunology, evolutionary biology, and plenty of different fields will locate this booklet valuable.
Fruit flies are "little individuals with wings" is going the announcing within the medical neighborhood, ever because the final touch of the Human Genome venture and its revelations concerning the similarity among the genomes of other organisms. it really is humbling that almost all signalling pathways which "define" people are conserved in Drosophila, the typical fruit fly.
This compelling new publication covers an important revolution on the grounds that Darwin—how state-of-the-art genetic technology will quickly let us accelerate and rework our personal evolution, and the ethical offerings we needs to make as we increase, modify, or even replica ourselves. in fact that, beforehand, human evolution has been incredibly sluggish.
Recognized world-wide because the common introductory textual content to this crucial and intriguing zone, the 7th version of Gene Cloning and DNA research addresses new and turning out to be parts of study when preserving the philosophy of the former variations. Assuming the reader has little earlier wisdom of the topic, its value, the rules of the options used and their purposes are all conscientiously laid out, with over 250 basically provided four-colour illustrations.
Chemokines, the newest quantity within the tools in Enzymology sequence, keeps the legacy of this optimum serial with caliber chapters authored by way of leaders within the box. This quantity covers study tools in chemokines, and contains sections on such themes as chemokine detection utilizing receptors, monitoring mobile responses to chemokines, acceptance of GAG-bound chemokines, and the creation of chemokine receptor complexes for structural and biophysical reports.

New Beginnings: Excitement Builds for Return of Modifieds to Hagerstown Speedway
HAGERSTOWN, MD – New beginnings.
For the first time ever, the Bob Hilbert Sportswear Short Track Super Series (STSS) Fueled By Sunoco will head to Maryland's Hagerstown Speedway to kick off the 2023 STSS Modified 10th anniversary campaign in the Northeast on Saturday, March 11.
The red clay of the super-wide half-mile oval will open the season for the newly revamped 'Elite' Series and the Rent Equip/Party Central South Region in 2023 with the 'Mods in the Mid-Atlantic.'
Modifieds last raced at Hagerstown Speedway in 2013 when Sussex, N.J., icon Brett Hearn claimed the victory.
"Brett (Hearn) had that place dialed in for sure. All those early March races he had a leg up with tires and knew what to bolt on his car," recalled Stewart Friesen – the winningest driver in STSS history – of Hagerstown races of the past.
Twenty-nine different drivers have been victorious in Modified competition at Hagerstown. Hearn leads the way with an astounding 24 victories.
The annual 'Octoberfest' event held at Hagerstown Speedway was a marquee event in Modified racing from 1998 to 2011 before the event was nixed.
"It was a big deal going to that race. We used to like going because everything up here was closed by then," defending STSS tri-champion Matt Sheppard said of the days of the Octoberfest race.
Sheppard was victorious on three occasions at the Washington County half-mile, with his most recent triumph coming in March of 2009.
Other familiar names to the STSS on the Hagerstown win list include Billy Decker, Rick Laubach, Andy Bachetti, and Jeff Strunk.
Now, the STSS rings in the 2023 season with a 50-lap shootout for a $12,000 top prize, and $1,000 to take the green, to kick off the season.
"I was excited when I first heard about going to Hagerstown," proclaimed three-time series champion Ryan Watt. "I used to really like going there. When we raced at night the track was really wide and fast. You could race all the way around the top.
Both Sheppard and Friesen echoed Watt's sentiments.
"I used to have a lot of fun going there," explained Sheppard. "When we raced there 15-20 years ago it was always smooth and when it got slick it was really racy."
"It's a big, fast awesome racetrack," spouted Friesen. "We only raced there a handful of times back in the day but I'm really looking forward to getting back there and I think it's a cool place for the STSS to go to.
"For us, whenever we'd travel South and drive by the place, we always talked about how cool it would be to get back there," Friesen added.
While all three drivers agreed on their excitement to return to the half-mile, they all had different comparisons from their days in the past.
"It reminds me a lot of Selinsgrove (Speedway in Pa.) in the way you get around it," Watt reckoned.
Sheppard's comparison was to a different Central Pennsylvania track. "I think of a Port Royal but maybe a little bit flatter. If it slicks off, it'll be a lot like Port Royal to me."
"It's definitely similar to what you'd see in Central Pennsylvania. I see it very similar to a Williams Grove Speedway (Mechanicsburg, Pa.)," compared Friesen.
Another major talking point for the drivers was the difference between the racecars of today compared to the 2000s.
"I hadn't even really thought about it, but it's definitely going to be different with the new suspensions in these cars," pondered Sheppard. "It's going to make it a wild card; similar to Cherokee (Gaffney, S.C.) Speedway last year."
"I'm confident in the package our team has to go anywhere but it will definitely be different than it was when we went back in the day," Friesen confidently said.
The STSS Crate 602 Sportsman will join the program in the season opener for the Belmont's Garage South Region.
A $2,000 top prize is up for grabs for the Sportsman at the end of their 25-lap affair.
"We used to race there and stay the weekend for Quarter Midget races with Logan (Watt). Now Logan gets to come race on the big track which will be pretty cool," Ryan Watt said of his son, Logan Watt, racing with the STSS Crate 602 Sportsman at Hagerstown.

Mark Nottingham I haven't talked about it here much, but I've spent a fair amount of time over the last year and a half working with people in the IETF to get RFC2616 (the HTTP specification) revised. HTTP started as a protocol just for browsers, and its task was fairly simple. Yes, persistent connections and ranged requests make things a bit more complex, but the use cases were relatively homogenous almost a decade ago, and the people doing the implementations were able to assure interop for those common cases. Now, a new generation of developers are using HTTP for things that weren't even thought of then; AJAX, Atom, CalDAV, 'RESTful Web Services' and the like push the limits of what HTTP is and can do. The dark corners that weren't looked at very closely in the rush to get RFC2616 out are now coming to light, and cleaning them up now will help these new uses, rather than encourage them to diverge in how they use HTTP. So, while the focus of the WG is on implementors, to me that doesn't must mean Apache, IIS, Mozilla, Squid and the like; it also means people using HTTP to build new protocols, like OAuth and Atom Publishing Protocol. It means people running large Web sites that use HTTP in not-so-typical ways. Another reason to revise HTTP is that there's a lot of things that the spec doesn't say.

I have identified the four (4) major types of Personal Health records: provider-hosted, payer-based, employer-sponsored and commercial. As more products are offered, it's key that all the stakeholders involved embrace national healthcare data standards to ensure interoperability of the data placed in personal health records. To illustrate the point, I am posting my entire lifelong medical record on my blog (this is with my consent, so there are no HIPAA issues) in two ways. The first is a PDF which was exported from a leading electronic health record system. It's 77 pages long and contains a mixture of clinical data, administrative data, normal and abnormal results, numeric observations, and notes. It's a great deal of data, but is very challenging to understand, since it does not provide an organized view of the key elements a clinician needs to provide me ongoing care. It is not semantically interoperable, which means that it cannot be read by computers to offer me or my doctors the decision support that will improve my care. The second is a Continuity of Care Document , using the national Health Information Technology Standards Panel (HITSP) interoperability specifications. It uses "Web 2.0" approaches, is XML based, machine and human readable, and uses controlled vocabularies enabling computer-based decision support. Today (December 13), HITSP will deliver the harmonized standards for Personal Health Records, Labs, Emergency Records, and Quality measurement to HHS Secretary Leavitt. These "interoperability specifications" will become part of Federal contacting language and be incorporated into vendor system certification criteria (CCHIT) over the next two years.

Many of the architectures and strategies for validation apply validity checking to a particular document with a pass or fail result on the document. This assumes that the schemas used in validation are expressive enough for all the potential versions of documents including any extensions. We've regularly seen that the Schema 1.0 wildcard limits the ability for fully describing documents. For example, it is impossible to have a content model that has optional elements in multiple namespaces with a wildcard at the end. The choice is to either have the wildcard or the elements. There is another approach to validation, called validation by projection, which effectively removes any unknown content prior to validation. It is validation of a projection of the XML document, where the projection is a subset of the xml document with no other modifications to the contents including order. Part of validation by projection is determining what to project. The simplest rule for determining what to project is: Starting at the root element, project any attributes and any elements that match elements in the content model of the current complexType and recurse into each element. [Author's note to W3C TAG: I wrote up a couple of personal blog entries on validation by projection. This seems to be a useful way of achieving forwards and backwards compatibility without relying upon schemas that have wildcards or open content models. From the TAG's definitional perspective, I'd characterize validation by projection as an architecture where the schema(s) define a Defined Text Set and an Accept Text Set that is equal to the Defined Text Set, then the process of projection is the creation and validation of the text against a generated Accept Text Set that has the original Accept Text Set plus all possible extra undefined elements and attributes.]

SpringSource, the keepers of the popular Spring Framework for Java application development, this week introduced Spring Integration, a framework to ease enterprise integration. Spring Integration is intended to assist Spring users in building service-oriented, message-driven applications. It offers a model for building message-driven systems by encapsulating internal complexities of these systems so business components can be declaratively configured without knowledge of the integration infrastructure, according to SpringSource, which formerly was known as Interface21. The open-source framework handles message-listening and service-invoking aspects and applies Inversion of Control principles to the runtime arena, SpringSource said. Inversion of Control principles in Spring Integration pertain to the framework taking over the linking of activities. Spring Integration, for example, could be used in a stock ordering system that handles data arriving via both HTTP and messaging. Also part of Spring Integration are adapters to integrate with common input and output sources. Spring Integration builds on functionality in the core Spring Framework, including support for Java Message Service, aspect-oriented programming, event publication, and subscription and transaction management. Written in Java, Spring Integration features extension points, including input and output adapters; content-based routers; and message filters and translators. Version 1.0 of the framework is due in the second quarter of 2008.

The WS-RT standard provides a new method for accessing and exchanging information about resources between components. It is designed to enhance the WS-Resource Framework (WSRF) and build on the WS-Transfer standards. The WS-RT system extends previous resource solutions for Web services and makes it easy not only to access resource information by name but also to access individual elements of a larger data set through the same mechanisms by exposing elements of an XML data set through the Web services interfaces. In any grid, there is a huge amount of metadata about the grid that needs to be stored and distributed. Using WS-RT makes sharing the information, especially the precise information required by different systems in the grid, significantly easier. This article concludes the five-part "Building a grid system using WS-Resource Transfer" series. Let's revisit some key elements of the WS-RT system and how we've used it throughout the series to work as a flexible solution for different grid solutions. The key to the WS-RT system is the flexible method with which we can create and recover information within its repository. Technically, WS-RT is not seen as a general-purpose solution for the storage and recovery of information, but, in fact, the XML structure and the ease with which we can process information by using the QName and XPath dialects to extract and update the information makes it a flexible and easy-to-manipulate system for information storage and distribution. It can be used on a number of levels, as we've seen throughout the series, from the fundamentals of information storage to the organization and definition of security information, and for the distribution of work throughout the grid system. Using the flexible nature of WS-RT makes the distribution of work easy and allows us to bypass some of the problems and limitations that exist in other grid systems.

Ford, General Electric, Infosys and Microsoft are already using the Business Reporting Tags to file financial reports. Can a full SEC mandate be far off? With the release of new Extensible Business Reporting Language taxonomies and Microsoft's announcement Dec. 6 that it used the technology to file its quarterly earnings report to the Securities and Exchange Commission, XBRL is proving it is mature enough to warrant widespread attention and adoption. Microsoft is currently only one of 61 companies to voluntarily use XBRL to make SEC filings, said Rob Blake, senior director, Interactive Services, Bowne and Co., and a founding member of the XBRL consortium, founded in 1999 to develop and maintain the language. Those companies include Bowne itself, as well as Ford, General Electric and Infosys, Blake said. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation has also been using XBRL for two years, Blake said. "Every financial institution in the U.S. that's regulated by the FDIC has been using this language" to submit financial information to the FDIC, he said. But some in the financial services industry already speculate that the SEC is leaning towards mandating the use of the language in reporting and filings. XBRL is likened to an XML schema, or digital "bar code," which lets companies represent their data in a format easily and quickly understood and processed by computers. The language ensures that companies can accurately transmit financial data internally and to investors, analysts and the SEC. The new taxonomies, based on GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) and released December 5, 2007 broaden and deepen the types of data to which XBRL can be applied, making the language more accessible for companies across a broader industry spectrum.
The next time you're talking about the standardization and the International Organization for Standardization comes up, be sure to pronounce it as [English /eye-so/] "Iso" and not "I-S-O." We say this because ISO does not, in fact, stand for the International Organization for Standardization (or the International Standardization Organization, which doesn't even exist). We heard this neat tidbit the XML 2007 conference, held in Boston last week. Ken Holman, who this week steps down from the role as the international secretary of the ISO subcommittee responsible for the Standard Generalized Markup Language(SGML), gave a briefing on ISO and related matters during the conference's lightening round sessions Tuesday night. He noted that the ISO name actually comes from "iso," the greek prefix for equal. For instance, Isometric refers to the equality of measurement... Holman dropped another tidbit during his talk as well. We may see a new ISO/IEC working group devoted to office document formats, such as Office Document Format and the Microsoft Office Open XML standard. First some hierarchy needs to be explained. ISO works on a wide variety of standards, from everything from medical equipment to film (ISO 400, ISO 200, etc.). In many information technology standards designations, a lot of times we'll see ISO in conjunction with IEC. For instance, ISO/IEC 13818 is the internationally-approved designation for MPEG-2. The two bodies often work together on IT standards. The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) was founded a little over 100 years ago (by none other than Lord Kelvin, among others!) to standardize the then-emerging field of electrical componentry. Both IEC and ISO were doing work in IT, so in order to eliminate duplication, they founded a joint body, called the Joint Technical Committee (JTC 0001), the only working group between the two organizations. JTC has a number of subcommittees, handling standards from everything from biometrics to user interface conventions. SC34 is the committee that begat SGML, which in turn begat XML... SC34 itself has a number of different working groups. WG 1 handles the data types and character types for XML documents. WG 2 handles the presentation of documents, including the font management and the like. WG 3 took the World Wide Web Consortium's Hypertext Markup Language specification and made it an international standard.

Adobe Systems announced that it plans to contribute to the open source community its technology for connecting rich Internet applications (RIAs) to backend data sources. Under the plan, the source code for Adobe's messaging, data, and remote procedure call services would be packaged under a new open-source product called BlazeDS. The technology, along with Adobe's Action Message Format (AMF) protocol specification, would be available under the Lesser General Public License, or LGPL v3. The technologies, which are available in public beta on Adobe's labs site, are part of Adobe's LiveCycle Data Services Enterprise Suite, which provides some backend connectivity for applications built in Adobe's Flex platform for developing and deploying RIAs. Flex software runs on Adobe's runtime environment called AIR. In creating BlazeDS, Adobe apparently is looking to open source developers to help build better backend connectivity for RIAs. Data access technologies within LiveCycle Data Services today are particularly aimed at tying RIAs with the document and forms management of other products in the suite. Going forward, BlazeDS developers can use the technology to add data access to RIAs for "real-time collaboration and data-push capabilities" found in guided self-service, live help, and other applications.

Flickr has released a new version of its tool for uploading photos to the Yahoo photo-sharing site, and made it an open-source program in the process. Flickr Uploadr 3.0, available for Mac OS X 10.4 and 10.5 and for Windows XP and Vista is now available in source code form, too, governed by version 2 of the General Public License (GPL). Open-source software may be freely modified, copied, and shared; opening source code could let programmers modify the Uploadr tool so it works on Linux or uploads to other photo-sharing sites, for example. Uploadr lets photographers select photos for upload, add tags, organize them into sets, and change privacy settings. Among the changes in Version 3 is the ability to set the photo order in sets and to add new photos to the upload queue while others are in the process of being transferred. Flickr Stats shows whence visitors came to look at your photos, either from within Flickr or outside on the Web. Stats also shows totals for recent viewings of photos and compiles data such as how many photos have tags, geotags, and comments. Views of your photos can be sorted by viewing totals, comments, favorite status, and the ever-elusive "interestingness" ranking.

DENVER (AP) — Colorado Republicans are giving up their attack on the state's health insurance exchange.
The GOP state Senate agreed Monday to abandon a bill that would have ended Connect For Health Colorado, the state-run insurance marketplace.
Democrats applauded when the bill was discarded for the year. The proposal had no chance of winning approval from the Democratic House and Democratic governor.
But the Republican suggestion to set the bill aside was an indication that Republicans don't want to spend the final days of the state Legislature fighting about health care. Lawmakers adjourn for the year Wednesday.
A federal bill to overhaul health care has passed the House and awaits action in the Senate.

Remove common reverse engineering obstacles with Convergent Modeling
By Yamada • August 29, 2016 • 4 MIN READ
Being able to speed up engineering tasks is great, but what if companies could eliminate some of those tasks for good? Answering this question was important to Siemens PLM when it began developing Convergent Modeling. The surfacing step of reverse engineering, the step which can cause serious bottlenecks that delay downstream work, is eliminated.
In part one on his series about Convergent Modeling, George Allen describes the vision that drove this new reverse engineering modeling approach, how this new approach compares to the old approach and how companies have the ability to use partly curvy and partly facetted, or "mixed," objects.
Here, he discusses the technology behind the new system's architecture and how it partners with the abilities of modern CAD systems.
With the Convergent Modeling technology workflow entirely eliminating the surfacing step, the resulting object is rather strange by traditional standards.
With the surfacing step gone in this new reverse engineering process, you get an object you don't traditionally see.
It is a mixed object that is partly facetted and partly curvy. The green and pink faces are facet "meshes" (collections of triangles), but the blue and red faces are analytic cones and cylinders (curvy surfaces), respectively. The two previously separate modeling approaches have converged.
The red holes will probably be made by drilling, and the cylindrical surfaces provide accurate size and center-point information to support this. The green region is very finely facetted, so its shape is good enough to support CNC milling operations to create tooling. So, the mixed object provides the information we need for these manufacturing operations.
Our approach has been to make these mixed objects work in all operations throughout the Siemens NX software package, including modeling operations, visualization, mass properties analysis, finite element analysis, packaging/clearance/clearance checking, NC operations and so on. By doing this, we remove the need for laborious surfacing tasks.
Using CAD history-based operations
In the above example, we saw a case where the surfacing step was eliminated entirely. In other cases, surfacing can be removed from the critical path, even if it is not eliminated. The key here is the ability of modern CAD systems to "replay" the history of a design with new inputs.
The diagram below shows a typical workflow in the automotive industry. First, the styling department creates the outer "Class A" surfaces of the vehicle. Quite often, stylists create clay models, scan them and then fit surfaces to the 3D scan data.
Next, the class A surfaces are released to downstream engineering groups who develop structural body parts ("body in white", or BIW) and tooling. Obviously, the downstream BIW and tooling work cannot begin until the outer "class A" surfaces are available, so, as we have seen before, the surfacing step is a bottleneck.
This is the traditional reverse engineering process.
But, with Convergent Modeling technology, the downstream activities can begin early on, using facetted versions of the class A surfaces. Later, when the final surfaces become available, they can be used to replace the facetted versions.
This is the new reverse engineering process: Convergent Modeling.
A modern history-based CAD system remembers the "recipe" of each object — in other words, it records the sequence of operations that was used to create the object. The recipe can be replayed with new inputs, which provides an extremely powerful form of editing.
Using this technology, the BIW and tooling models can then be "replayed" each time new versions of the class A data become available. The work schedule is compressed, and there is a reduction in the workload of highly-skilled surfacing experts, freeing up their time for more creative work elsewhere.
A new Convergent Modeling approach allows facetted models to be used directly in CAD functions instead of undergoing "surfacing" conversion first. Eliminating or reducing the surfacing work obviously cuts labor costs. It also cuts schedules because downstream activities can start sooner.
The bottom line — the fastest and most efficient reverse engineering process is the one that you don't have to perform!
This concludes our introduction to Convergent Modeling.
George Allen has more than 35 years of experience in developing CAD software and in helping major corporations use it to improve their productivity. He is recognized worldwide as a leading expert in the field both by academics and industry executives. George has led the development of several new technologies in the NX CAD software, especially in the area of geometric design. His advice and guidance have served to improve productivity at some of the world's largest manufacturing companies, including GM, Nissan, Honda, Boeing and Canon. George received his Bachelor of Science degree in mathematics from the University of Sheffield and his Master of Arts degree in mathematics from the University of California.

Could Brittany Murphy's Death Been Prevented? New Docuseries Seems to Suggest So
Jacklyn Krol Published: October 14, 2021

Could Brittany Murphy's death have been prevented?
In the new 2-part HBO Max docuseries, What Happened, Brittany Murphy?, experts in various fields and some of the closest people to the late actress dissect the final days of her life. One of the key allegations: It may have been to prevent Murphy's death.
Now-retired medical examiner Dr. Lisa Scheinin, who performed Murphy's autopsy, says in the doc that if the actress was taken to a doctor or hospital just days before her death, she could have most likely been saved. During her autopsy, Scheinin found that the Uptown Girls star was "severely anemic," which she should have been getting medical treatment for.
"Any decent doctor would have her in the E.R.," Scheinin says.
Other friends and family close to Murphy note that they also believe her death could have been prevented.
Although it was reported that she died of pneumonia, numerous conspiracy theories circulated online and in the tabloids in the wake of Murphy's passing — from drug overdose speculation to theories surrounding toxic mold, and even conspiracies regarding an alleged murder/cover-up by her late husband, Simon Monjack.
The docuseries explains that even though Murphy was already a Hollywood star at the time of her peak fame in the 2000s, she was constantly told that she wasn't skinny enough to be a leading lady. This reportedly led her to prescription and illegal drug use.
When Murphy died in December 2009, authorities discovered dozens of pill bottles on her nightstand, despite her having no illegal drugs in her system at the time of death. The coroner ruled that drug abuse was secondary to her main cause of death.
Five months after Murphy died, her husband died under similar circumstances. People believed that the mold in their home, seen in images, was the cause of their deaths. Murphy's mother, Sharon, even believed it at one time. Despite the infestation, the coroner did not "see any evidence of mold in her lungs or any other organs."
Some fans theorized that Monjack had something to do with his wife's death and that he covered it up. Police never investigated this theory as it was just a conspiracy, however, her friends and family blame him for Murphy's undoing over the years, and describe her as "a different person" after marrying him.
Actress Kathy Najimy claims that Monjack made all of Murphy's business and financial decisions, while director Alex Merkin alleges that he even changed her cellphone numbers to alienate her from her loved ones.

All the details of Meghan Markle's wedding dress
By: Sharnaz Shahid
The day Meghan Markle and Prince Harry say "I do" will be a day for royal watchers to remember, if not for the romance and the star-studded guest list, for her stunning wedding gown. The Los Angeles native, who will walk down the aisle in Windsor on May 19, will likely pull out all the stops to make sure her gown is fit for a princess.
Easily one of the most famous dress of all is the one Princess Diana wore, a breathtaking design by David and Elizabeth Emanuel, followed by Duchess Kate's striking Alexander McQueen lace number. Here's everything we know about Meghan's dress already...
Everything we know about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's royal wedding
Dress fittings
According to reports, Meghan had her first wedding dress fitting at Kensington Palace in January. She flew her close friend and stylist, Jessica Mulroney, from Canada to London to help her decide which gown to wear for the big day. Following the fitting, Jessica reportedly stayed at the palace for four nights, during which time she helped Meghan pick out other outfits for future engagements.
Who is the designer?
The custom-designed gown will be this year's most sought after commission amongst the fashion elite. British fashion house Ralph and Russo are currently tipped to be the dress designer - the same brand who famously created Meghan's stunning engagement gown. Fashion insiders tell HELLO! that word is that the British haute couture fashion house has won the style war. The speculation comes after bookmakers revealed in February that they've had to stop taking bets on another British designer, Alexander McQueen, as punters rushed to try their luck.
Another rumoured contender to land the coveted role is London designer Antonio Berardi. Meghan was worn the fashion house before, most poignantly in May 2017 when she cheered on Harry at the polo. It was the very first time the couple were snapped together at a public event. Her navy dress was fashion-forward, modern and feminine, featuring an elegant, double-breasted cut, a ruffled asymmetrical skirt and statement button detail.
Victoria Beckham is not the designer
Last month, the Spice Girls star shut down rumours that she was designing the dress - despite Meghan wearing a beautiful knitted jumper by VB in her engagement photo shoot. "She looked absolutely beautiful in my jumper. I'm sure it will be a really fun wedding," Victoria told the Guardian. "But no, she hasn't asked me to do the dress."
Not one but two gowns
It's believed that the American beauty will change into a second dress for her reception, and it will likely be more informal. "The wedding will be split into two, much like William and Kate's," an insider told Us Weekly. "So both Meghan and Harry will have second outfits." For her 2011 wedding to Prince William, Kate slipped into a stunning sweetheart-neckline satin creation, which was designed by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen.
Meghan's dream wedding dress
In 2016, the former actress opened up about her ideal bridal gown during the filming of her wedding scene in Suits. "Classic and simple is the name of the game, perhaps with a modern twist," she told Glamour. "I personally prefer wedding dresses that are whimsical or subtly romantic. Delphine Manivet and Christos Costarellos are faves of mine for their uniqueness and beauty. And I will always be a fan of Ellie Saab. J. Mendel is spectacular as well, especially for more structural designs."

When spring weather arrives, unstabilized nitrogen is vulnerable to leaching and dentrification, which can significantly reduce the yield potential of corn. By applying a nitrogen stabilizer in the spring, growers can rest easier knowing their corn plants have nitrogen when it's most needed.
A potential option is splitting applications across the growing season.
"This means you can be more reactive to the weather patterns without so much potential for loss. And this loss doesn't just affect the environment, it also affects the grower's bottom line," Moody says.
As soil temperatures increase in the spring, applying a nitrogen stabilizer protects ammonium nitrogen from the risk of rapid nitrification. Protecting ammonium nitrogen from leaching and denitrification is key to a strong start, as well as optimized grain production and yield potential.
A shortage of nitrogen during the first 75 days after crop emergence can restrict yield potential because it coincides with the greatest nitrogen demands of corn. Growers fertilizing their corn with UAN, urea or liquid manure can protect this investment with Instinct® II nitrogen stabilizer from preplant up to the V6 stage of growth, while those applying anhydrous ammonia can protect applied nitrogen with N-Serve® nitrogen stabilizer this spring.
If your customers are concerned about the availability of nitrogen in their corn, remind them to protect their largest input investment this season with Instinct II or N-Serve. For more information, visit www.NitrogenStabilizers.com or contact your local Dow AgroSciences sales representative.

Onesimus wanted what any young boy wants: fun, adventure, travel, love, and most of all, freedom. Unfortunately, Onesimus's life did not include any of these things. Instead, he was a servant to the wealthy Philemon and his family. Sure, his life was not as hard as it could be, but being a servant did not include any of the things he wanted in life. Even on days when he got glimpses of those things – like the visit from the beautiful Eirene of Laodicea – he was always swiftly reminded of how trapped he was. His life was out of his hands. That is, until the day Master Philemon and his son Archippus take Onesimus on a journey to Ephesus that changes his life forever. While there, the trio meet an odd man telling of the way to real freedom, to truth, and the only way to eternal life. But when a riot breaks out, Onesimus seizes his opportunity to make his own way to freedom.
His journey will take him all cross the Anatolia, Greece, and finally to Rome, and along the way realize what his dreams of adventure and love really look like. He will come across many familiar historical figures, like Epaphras, Demetrius, Appia, Priscilla, Mark, and so many more, some who bring him further from the truth and others closer to it. Along the way, Onesimus will get his adventure and – much as he will grow to despise it – will also learn what true love means and what real freedom is. Before his journey is over, he will be confronted with a truth that will change this slave boy into a man worthy to serve his Master.
Twice Freed by Patricia St. John retells the story of Onesimus in an exciting and fascinating way. The reader not only gets to learn about who he was but also what it might have been like to be a Gentile or a Christian during this time. This short piece of historical fiction takes the reader on a journey with one of the most intriguing characters of the New Testament but is seldom discussed. This well-researched book will travel though the Roman World and show what it was like for those who lived in it from all walks of life. Most of all, it teaches the reader, as the journey did Onesimus, what true freedom really means, and the importance of repentance and forgiveness. This story is a great read for anyone, young and old, who loves historical fiction, adventure, and tales that teach while they entertain – which this novel certainly does!

Falling into the Slough of Despond
Hope in Spite of Suffering


by David Wilson. With a Foreword by Donal MacIntyre.
David Wilson is one of the UK's best-known and most innovative criminologists. An 'insider' view of the construction of a news agenda for crime and punishment. This superb read from Professor David Wilson looks at how the "news" agenda for crime and punishment is constructed. It also contains analysis of media stereotypes, narratives and depictions together with insights connecting these to real life. Media portrayals set the agenda for public discourse and popular debate. Academics in their 'ivory towers', professionals and other crime experts ignore this at the risk of seeing their more informed understandings side lined. The book builds on the author's experiences of covering high profile cases and populist issues for TV, radio, newspapers and other media. It also contains telling inside accounts of police-media relations at murder scenes in Gloucester, Soham, Whitehaven, Rothbury and Ipswich. A must in grasping the equally 'hot topic' of Public Criminology. With a Foreword by the award-winning investigative journalist Donal MacIntyre.
'A vivid testimony to David Wilson's huge and bold contribution to the creation of a 'public criminology'... This modest book deserves much more attention and should be widely used in teaching, especially first year undergraduate criminology, to bridge the gap between emotional response and analytic sense': Colin Sumner, Editor of CrimeTalk and Head of the School of Sociology and Philosophy, UCC, Cork, Ireland (full review at crimetalk.org.uk).
'This significant contribution to criminological studies offers a text where both scholar and common reader can understand the issues regarding crime reporting and society... while the term "public criminology" has recently gained popularity, it can convincingly be argued that Wilson was a public criminologist before it was in vogue': Howard Journal of Criminal Justice.
'An inspiring and intelligent read': Donal MacIntyre (from the Foreword).
As featured on the BBC Radio 2 Jeremy Vine Show.
David Wilson is professor of criminology at Birmingham City University where he is Director of the Centre for Applied Criminology. A former prison governor, he is the editor of the Howard Journal and well-known as an author, broadcaster and presenter for TV and radio, including the BBC, Channel 4 and Sky. He has written a number of books for Waterside Press, including: The Longest Injustice: The Strange Story of Alex Alexandrowicz (with the latter) (1999), Prison(er) Education: Stories of Change and Transformation (with Ann Reuss) (2000), Images of Incarceration: Representations of Prison in Film and Television Drama (with Sean O'Sullivan) (2004), and Serial Killers: Hunting Britons and Their Victims 1960-2006 (2007).

Deafness Treatment Shows Connection between Jaw and Hearing
Home/Deafness Treatment Shows Connection between Jaw and Hearing
Tinnitus is a common symptom of TMJ, perhaps the most common after jaw pain and headaches. However, some people are sceptical that jaw problems can actually cause disturbance in your hearing. Now a new approach to restoring hearing to the deaf shows just how intimately our jaws and ears are connected.
The SoundBite Technology
SoundBite is a device that has been developed to help restore hearing in people who have lost hearing in one ear. The device uses a microphone placed in your bad ear to receive the sounds that the deaf person can no longer hear.
When the microphone picks up these sounds, they are transmitted to another unit, a small one that fits around the rearmost molars on one side. This unit receives the signals and transforms them into minute vibrations, which travel through the jawbone into the cochlea, the spiral-shaped bony structure of the inner ear that houses the organ of Corti. This tiny set of pressure-sensitive cells changes vibrations, which may come from the tiny bones of the middle ear or, in this case, from the jawbone, into nerve impulses that the brain interprets as sound.
The device uses come complex computing to alter the sound signals to better replicate the experience of having the sound come from the other ear, but most of the work is done by your brain, which learns not only to receive the sound, but to sort it out.
Insight into TMJ and Tinnitus
Tinnitus is sound that a person hears without any external sound being produced. This sound must be produced from inside the body. Some research suggests that in some cases this sound is actually being produced in the brain. However, there are many kinds of tinnitus, and it seems likely that at least in some of these cases the sound is being produced by the jawbone or jaw muscles.
The SoundBite technology shows just how sensitive the inner ear is to pressure that can come from the jawbone. Since the jawbone meets up directly with the temporal bone that houses the cochlea, it's likely that pressure from the jawbone could result in the production of sound from inside the ear.
We know that TMJ treatment can reduce or eliminate tinnitus for some people. If you are looking for treatment of your tinnitus, a TMJ evaluation can help you understand whether treatment can help you.
To schedule a TMJ evaluation, please contact My Hills Dentist in the Baulkham Hills area of Sydney.

★ According to Associated Press, the Turkish government is expanding a probe targeting Istanbul city staff.
A Turkish court accepted an indictment against suspects from a religious association Thursday in a case that could have political and legal repercussions on the opposition-held Istanbul municipality.
Authorities suspect the religious association is associated with the rebel outlawed Kurdish militants.
Last Sunday, the Interior Ministry started a probe and announced that hundreds of municipal staff have alleged terror links.
In the 2019 local elections, the opposition dislodged the nearly Justice and Development Party from the administration of the Metropolitan municipality of Istanbul.
Justice and Development Party and its predecessor held the city administration for 20 years.
From the secular opposition Republican peoples party, Ekrem İmamoğlu became the new mayor, a major blow to Turkish president Mr. Erdoğan.
Mr. İmamoğlu and opposition Republican Peoples Party officials say the probe is a politically motivated witchhunt. He called for early elections. Other parliamentarians from the opposition also echoed him.
Mr. Erdoğan's coalition partner Devlet Bahçeli, on the other hand, said on Thursday that Mr. İmamoğlu should be removed from office.
In related news: Some ruling Justice and Development Party members are not happy with interior minister Mr. Süleyman Soylu's behavior. The unhappy members said that accusations hurled by the Interior Ministry against the opposition harm the ruling party instead since they lack necessary evidence or documents.

★ According to the Defense News, Turkey's procurement agency has invited bids for three I-class frigates.
The agency says that the ships will be 100% Turkish design and have at least 75% local material.
The Defense News writes that the eye-class frigates perform reconnaissance and surveillance, target traction and identification, early warning of and the serial activities, base and port defense, anti-submarine, antiaircraft and surface warfare, amphibious operations, and patrolling missions.
★ According to journalist Ulas Atesci, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's administration refuses to take any public health measures against the pandemic as the new variant is rapidly engulfing the country.
The daily cases have reached almost 40,000, an 80% increase in three days.
All workplaces and schools are still open, and the only requirement is to be vaccinated. Only 20% of the population has had two vaccines plus a booster.
In related news: On December 31, Minister of Health Dr. Fahrettin Koca said that cases increased fivefold in Istanbul in one week, the daily Duvar reported. Tests detect 52% of the cases throughout Turkey in Istanbul.
★ Turkish Finance Minister Nureddin Nebati has faced serious backlash from economists and academics after claiming that the U. S. Federal Reserve is not a public institution, but five families control it.
★ Turkey has jailed the pilot who in August flew an Istanbul-based company's private jet on which authorities seized 1.3 tons of cocaine. The pilot, identified as V.D., was previously arrested in Brazil where he remained in custody for 99 days.
★ Other headlines in the news:
★ Turkey's Directorate of Religious Affairs, countries top religious body, issues edicts against New Year's Eve celebrations, alcohol, and the national lottery. According to the directorate, these are un-Islamic.
★ Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, the leader of the main opposition party, was denied entry into the Education Ministry building on December 30. He wanted to discuss nepotism in public school teacher placements. A few days back, Mr. Kılıçdaroğlu first asked for an appointment with the minister in charge, but the minister refused it.
★ After the incident, President Erdoğan called the main opposition leader "bandit" and said he could not freely visit government institutions. Mr. Erdoğan says that Mr. Kılıçdaroğlu is aiming to create chaos and disorder.
★ Turkey is preparing to introduce a deposit return system for recyclable packaging waste in 2022, with the scheme forecasting a refund of approximately four cents per container. Collection points at grocery shops will be ready to serve by June 2022.
★ Turkey's Constitutional Court has ordered the state to pay compensation to a prisoner after prison authorities barred him from telephoning his wife, jailed in another prison, for 15 months. The top court said that the state had violated the right to respect family life.
★ ECONOMY
★ After a dramatic rise in the value of the Turkish lira against the dollar last week, it started going down again. From a low of 11 liras to a dollar last week, the exchange rate ended up at 13.4 liras to a dollar.
As we reported to you last week, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's administration announced that it would guarantee Turkish lira deposit holders at banks the value of their deposits against the U. S. dollar. At the same time, Turkey's central bank several times sold dollars to reduce its appreciation.
On Friday, President Erdoğan urged Turks to keep all their savings in liras, insisting that the country's currency crisis was largely under control, Deutsche Welle reported.
Mr. Erdoğan also asked citizens to bring their gold savings into the banking system.
Deutsche Welle wrote that Erdoğan's interference in economic policy triggered the currency crisis in Turkey. Here is a summary:
"He pressured the Central Bank to make aggressive interest rate cuts, amounting to 500 basis points since September.
"The cuts sparked a selloff of the lira, which plunged by more than one-half against the U. S. dollar at one point.
"Individual investors saw their savings melt, while the price of basic goods such as bread, eggs, butter, and sunflower oil almost doubled in a year.
"Economists and former central bankers have called Erdoğan's move reckless given that economists expect inflation to hit 30% in December because of the depreciation of the lira.
"Goldman Sachs expects it to reach as high as 40% by mid-2022."
★ Deutsche Welle also reported on book publishing having problems. Since Turkish publishers import most of the paper, the fall in the value of the Turkish lira has made books expensive. The wages are not keeping up with the increase in prices of books, resulting in fewer book sales.
Publishers say they will publish fewer books next year to minimize their risks.
★ According to the website greenprophet.com a business in central Turkey is producing roof tiles with bird shelters.
Hitit Terra has been making terra-cotta items, including roof tiles. They thought of building roof tiles that could be used along with regular ones but could accommodate a small nest for birds.
The Greenprophet site says that the tradition of including nests for birds in the design of a home goes back to the Ottoman traditions. Ottomans would have in their buildings bird nests. One can still see these in stone buildings on the upper portion of the façades throughout Turkey.

★ Turkey's South Eastern city of Gaziantep residents celebrated the 100th anniversary of the liberation of Gaziantep from the enemy occupation, along with other southern provinces of Turkey.
The celebration took place on December 25 at the Heroism Panorama and Museum of the Defense of Gaziantep with the support of SANKO Holding.
Gaziantep's original name is just Antep. It put up stiff resistance to the French occupation, and finally French left the region. Because of this, on February 6, 1921, Turkey's Grand National Assembly bestowed upon it the title "Gazi," meaning "veteran."
On December 25, 1921, the last French soldier left from Gaziantep. On this day, people celebrate the liberation of Antep.
The first part of the event included an interview, and the second part was a musical depicting the struggle of Gaziantep. Conductor and composer Murat Cem Orhan directed the musical.
★ The exhibition "The Unusual World of Şehzades: Abdülmecid Efendi" meets art lovers at the Sakıp Sabancı Museum of Sabancı University.
The exhibition tells about the life and art of Abdülmecid Efendi, who lived between 1868 and 1944. He was the last Caliph of the Ottoman dynasty, the only Caliph of the Republic of Turkey until the Republican administration abolished the caliphate. He was also nominally the 37th head of the Ottoman Imperial house from 1922 to 1924.
Abdülmecid was given the title of General in the Ottoman Army but did not have military inclinations. He had a more significant role as Chairman of the Ottoman Artists' Society.
Art historians consider him one of the most important painters of late-period Ottoman art. In 1918, an exhibition in Vienna displayed some of his paintings with works by other Ottoman artists.
In addition to being a painter, Abdülmecid was also interested in music, calligraphy, and literature.
The exhibition will be on until May 1, 2022.
★ Bilgili Holding's art event One Akaretler, organized to support independent artists, is waiting for art lovers at Akaretler No: 37-39 until January 5. 27 independent artists are participating with hundred and 40 works of art.
Bilgili Holding aims at creating a new platform to support independent artists with One Akaretler.
Begüm Güney has curated the exhibition. Her selections include works from different disciplines.
Bilgili Holding CEO Sinan Temo stated the following about the event:
"With the pandemic, the transmission of artistic productions to the audience, and the movement within the art industry changed shape.
"Despite the positive effects of digitalization in art, the connection that art forms with the audience were negatively affected. Especially artists working with traditional material could not interact with the audience in a digital environment as intensively and effectively as artists producing in new media.
"In addition, the impression of facing a work of art is different for all of us. It is true regardless of digital or traditional materials in all types of production.
"Therefore, One Akaretler opens a space to meet independent artists, art audiences, and collectors right in the middle of the city.''
VakıfBank Culture Publications Head Mr. Ustunsalih
★ VakıfBank Culture Publications celebrated its third anniversary by planting three thousand seedlings at the VakıfBank Memorial Forests.
VakıfBank is also aiming to support the educational and inspiring values of the ecosystem.
VakıfBank Culture Publications aims to transfer Turkey's cultural heritage to future generations. It also publishes works translated for the first time into Turkish.
★ According to TRT, the last fines of 2021 were 19 pieces of 1400-year-old antiquities and one skeleton.
Archaeologists uncovered the finds in Turkey's southern Mediterranean province of Mersin's Diocaesarea ancient city ruins.
Among the fines are a necklace, an earring, an amulet, a bracelet, and a chain-link chest protector.
Archaeologists found the artifacts in the remains of a tower that burned down during a war between Byzantines and Sassanian. The skeleton belonged to a man killed when the structure collapsed due to fire. It may have belonged to a priest.
Diocaesarea was a Graeco-Roman and a bishopric.
★ In the ancient city of Çatalhöyük, archaeologists found an 8500-year-old marble statuette.
The two-inch statuette depicts a person leaning back. The sex of the person is unknown.
It is the first statue found at the site since 2016.
Çatalhöyük is one of the first cities in the world. Its establishment dates back to 9,000 years ago.
It overlooks the Konya Plain, southeast of the present-day city of Konya (ancient Iconium) in Turkey, approximately 87 mi from the twin-coned volcano of Mount Hasan.
People abandoned the prehistoric mound settlements before the Bronze Age.
Archeologists first excavated the site in 1958. It is now on the UNESCO World Heritage List site.
Lycian city ruins in modern-day southern Turkey
★ Known in history as the city of gladiators, excavations at the Kibyra ancient city ruins revealed new structures.
The excavation head Dr. Şükrü Özüdoğru said that excavations are uncovering archaeological finds dating between 300 BCE to 800 CE. where concerts took place.
Recent excavations at the Odeon revealed an exquisite Medusa mosaic.
Lycians established Kibyra, probably around 1400 BCE. It was part of a con Federation of Lycian cities called Tetrapolis.
The Romans validated home rule officially under the Lycian League in 168 BC. This native government was an early federation with republican principles; these later came to the attention of the framers of the United States Constitution, influencing their thoughts.

Q: Include a component as FormControl Angular2 I have component that has form built through form builder and now in that form i need to include a component that has only one input box as a form control.
add.ts
this.newForm = this.fb.group({
      name: ['', [Validators.required]],
      surname:['', [Validators.required]],
      time: ''
    });

"time" has to be included as a different component.
add.html

            {{'forms.newForm.label.configuration.name' | translate}}

              <input type="text" formControlName="name" placeholder="placeholder"
                  class="form-control input-md" type="text">

                Name is required.

            {{'forms.newForm.label.configuration.name' | translate}}

              <input type="text" formControlName="surname" placeholder="placeholder"
                  class="form-control input-md" type="text">

                Surname is required.

time.html

    <input class="form-control input-md" type="text" (keydown)="eventHandler($event)" maxlength="11">

      Invalid time

How to i include form control "time" as a component in the main form so i can access the value through this.newForm.controls['time'].value??

A: A single FormControl cannot be passed separately to the child component in that way, you need to bind it with [formControl] to be able to do that, create a custom form control or pass it within a formgroup to the child. Here it will be easiest to bind the control with [formControl] in the child:
this.newForm = this.fb.group({
    name: ['', [Validators.required]],
    surname:['', [Validators.required]],
    time: ['']
});

In your parent html pass the time formcontrol to your child:
<time-comp [time]="newForm.get('time')"></time-comp>

and child template:
<input [formControl]="time">

And do not forget to mark the form control received from parent with Input:
@Input() time: FormControl;

Then you can access the time value (in your parent) with:
this.newForm.get('time').value;

Also notice that you do not need any events, like keyup, the changes will be catched by the parent without them.

A: As of Angular 8, it is possible to pass FormControl as a @Input to a child component without having to put it inside a formGroup and it would still work with two-way binding. An example.. https://angular-v2yaaw.stackblitz.io
