(February 2014) A piece of my heart instead of my mind.
Even though much of what this site is about is me sharing a piece of my mind, it's also about sharing what's in my heart. That's not easy. It's easier to just say what's on my mind than share what's in my heart. I think that's true for a lot of people. And it's not just easier, often I think that it's necessary. I think it's necessary, mind you. It isn't actually necessary most of the time.
Why do we do that? Why are we so concerned with making sure our viewpoint is heard? I used to know a person who would speak their mind quite unabashedly any chance they got. They would offer corrections, or "more accurate interpretations," of situations, or facts, or stories. It was clear that this person thought they knew best - also, everything - and unfortunately, they were not very fun to be around.
I really am thinking about a specific person (who is not me) here, but you should also know that I am equally guilty of this myself. 100%.
Jesse knows that I'm smart. I know Jesse knows that I can often contribute something of value, something worth hearing/knowing, that he may or may not have thought about before. And I know he knows how to get those opinions from me. He can ask. I needn't offer them up willy-nilly.
What's my end-goal? To show how smart I am, or to show that I care?
Do I want to alienate, or do I want to connect?
Maybe there are times when we think by sharing our "knowledge," by sharing our opinion, we really are caring for that other person. We think, they need to hear our opinion. Maybe, just maybe, there are times when they really do. But it probably doesn't happen as often as we think it does, and our "caring" is actually interpreted as arrogance or nosiness. I know that I don't feel cared for when I feel the other person is any of those things. (This is different than sharing your feelings about something. Feelings and opinions are very different things.) Anyway.
Sometimes it's best to just be present instead of being heard.
Sometimes it's better to be loved than right.
Jesse and I have started something new at night, and I like it. Instead of just asking "how was your day?" or other automatic-answer questions, we've started asking pointed, specific questions like "When did you feel loved today?" or "When did you feel heard/listened to/cared for/angry/frustrated/capable/accomplished/proud, etc today?" And instead of offering my opinions - because trust me, I have them - on any of his answers, I just listen.
I tried this one night and asked him a few questions. He answered, then we were quiet for awhile. Then, without me ever saying that I'd like him to ask me those things, he did. I thought it was nice.
It is in these moments that I feel I am doing a better job at sharing my heart. I'm trying to do a better job of being a heart-sharer in all our other moments throughout the day.

Q: MessageBox while compiling a C# WPF projects I'm receiving tons of Message Boxes while compiling a C# WPF project.
The project compiles neatly in my jobmates' PC, so I guess it's something in my Visual Studio settings.
Here the screenshots:

Please note that the Output is set on Diagnostic Level and shows no message:

PS: the program starts correctly after all the messages.
EDIT
Using Process Explorer I managed to know who's the owner of the message boxes: LC.exe.

A: As said in the question, using the Microsoft's tool Process Explorer I've found that the MessageBoxes belong to .NET LicenceBuilder (LC.exe), this pointed me to the right direction looking for all of the 3rd part libs in the project, discovering a mismatch.

Demonstrates how to use RSA to protect a key for AES encryption. It can be used in this scenario: You will provide your RSA public key to any number of counterparts. Your counterpart will generate an AES key, encrypt data (or a file) using it, then encrypt the AES key using your RSA public key. Your counterpart sends you both the encrypted data and the encrypted key. Since you are the only one with access to the RSA private key, only you can decrypt the AES key. You decrypt the key, then decrypt the data using the AES key.
This example will show the entire process. (1) Generate an RSA key and save both private and public parts to PEM files. (2) Encrypt a file using a randomly generated AES encryption key. (3) RSA encrypt the AES key. (4) RSA decrypt the AES key. (5) Use it to AES decrypt the file or data.
'   This example requires two Chilkat licenses:  RSA and Crypt.
'  Step 1.  Generate an RSA key and save to PEM files.
'  Generate a 1024-bit key.
'  both encrypted and un-encrypted..
'  to use for the encryption.
Response.Write "
" & Server.HTMLEncode( "AES key = " & randomKey) & "
"
'  Set the IV to a known value that will be used on both sides.
'  The length of the IV for AES is always 16 bytes, regardless of the key size.
'  stream the file in/out.
'  RSA encrypt the AES key.
'  the public key from the PEM..
'  For brevity, don't check the success..
'  RSA encrypt the AES key and return it as a base64 encoded string.
'  and the encrypted file.
'  Step 4 - RSA decrypt the AES key.
'  Start with a new RSA object and load the private key from the PEM.
'  our EncodingMode to "base64".

Brothers & Sisters: Season 5
On July 27, 2011 June 2, 2013 By sulkyblueIn 10-11 Season, Drama, Families, Season Reviews
Five seasons of sappiness was apparently all that the world wanted from Brothers & Sisters. The accountants just didn't like the balance between the large, expensive cast and the falling ratings, so the plug was pulled. I can't help but think that it's no coincidence the show was cancelled the same year its parent network cancelled All My Children and One Life to Live, two of the biggest soap operas in US history. I can't be bothered to go find the in depth reasons behind the cancellations, but is it possible that people (well Nielson homes in the US, who control the only ratings anyone cares about) just aren't interested in soaps any more?
This year, even Brothers & Sisters was even more soap opera-ish than ever, complete with staple soap plots like car crashes, amnesia, long-lost loves, paternity issues and stolen babies. There was a death, a wedding, a divorce, an affair, an adoption, an unplanned pregnancy… it was like they were playing bingo and desperately trying to get everything ticked off. It just about all hung together, but it really was getting pretty ridiculous!
Although I think they pushed the melodramatic plots a bit too far, I still found it incredibly watchable. It's the kind of thing that you throw in when you just can't quite take the stress of Grey's Anatomy. It's something I watch while sick or miserable and just enjoy the relationships, humour and mild angst without having to pop a Prozac afterwards. It's not that I'm not invested in the characters, it's just not quite the same level as something like Grey's Anatomy or Friday Night Lights. Brothers & Sisters is more escapist, the characters and situations aren't quite real, it's all got a shiny California, Hollywood feel to it.
I will miss the Walkers and all their extended family, the way that individually they're so utterly dysfunctional, yet as a group they're fearsome. I always adored the fact that although at first sight the title refers to the five siblings, when you look closer, and as the family grows and changes, it becomes clear that it's about Nora and Saul's relationship too, and all the brothers and sisters-in-law, and half siblings.
The show's success and its downfall were its large cast – it enabled the show to feel more realistic about the number of relationships that real people juggle, depicting them in all their wonderful and difficult varieties. But at the end of the day, that just became too expensive to maintain. I for one am actually glad that the show was cancelled rather than trying to run it with a reduced cast. This last season with Tommy, Rebecca and Holly gone almost completely and Kitty in a reduced number of episodes already felt reduced, too small. I'd rather leave the Walkers drinking and dancing at a wedding and say goodbye properly than watch the mighty Walkers waste away.

Charlotte Hornets Second Round Possibilities?
With 3 picks in this draft, the second round pick at #45 would be a great opportunity to go for a high risk / high reward player.
Who do you guys like for potential draftees with the Portland pick? What are your thoughts on Patric Young? I realize he is a bit puny *sarcasm* but do you think he has the potential to stick in the NBA?

F3 - Vesti scores third F3 win, as title fight goes down to the wire
F3 - Round 9 - Mugello- Race 1 report
PREMA's Frederik Vesti won for the second time in as many rounds by taking an emphatic FIA Formula 3 Race 1 victory over Jake Hughes in Mugello. It wasn't enough to keep the Dane in title contention though, with the battle for the crown now a three-way fight between Oscar Piastri, Logan Sargeant and Théo Pourchaire.
Vesti started the day sixth in the standings, knowing that only a victory and the fastest lap would be enough to remain in the title battle. He clinched the win, but missed out on the extra two points, meaning he is now out of contention by just half a point.
Pourchaire claimed the final podium position to keep his own title bid alive and set up a final race brawl between himself and the PREMA duo of Sargeant and Piastri.
Sargeant spent most of the race in fifth place and in possession of first in the standings, with Championship leader Piastri lingering just outside the points.
However, the American was thwarted by Enzo Fittipaldi, who scored his best finish in F3. The HWA driver stole fifth from the PREMA racer in the dying laps, dropping Sargeant back to second, but level on points with Piastri.
Liam Lawson and David Beckmann join Vesti in falling out of title contention. Eighth place wasn't enough for the German, while Lawson only took a point, finishing 10th.
Zendeli had no problems getting off the line, coolly peeling away from Hughes. The HWA RACELAB driver got away cleanly, but couldn't match the pace of the Trident down the straight.
Sargeant knew that he had a strong package in Mugello, having qualified second on track, but started from P5 on the grid following a grid drop penalty from Round 8. The American made light work of the race start, instantly gaining a place from Fittipaldi, as the Brazilian slipped down to sixth behind Pourchaire.
With Piastri starting from 16th, due to his own grid penalty, Sargeant knew that he had a fantastic opportunity to leapfrog his teammate in the standings but needed to balance risk versus reward. So, when Pourchaire challenged him for fourth, he thought better of fighting too hard and the Frenchman pulled ahead of him at the first turn of the second lap.
Piastri would have hoped to gain a few places himself in the opening laps but got caught up behind Matteo Nannini. He eventually flashed past the Jenzer Motorsport man, and from there he fizzed ahead of Alex Peroni and Dennis Hauger for P13.
The battle for first place was heating up as Zendeli struggled to get out of DRS range from Hughes. The duo were fighting for seventh in the Drivers' standings, but Hughes only had eyes on the race win, saying in yesterday's press conference: "I'm not interested in P7 or P8 - it doesn't really matter to me. I came here for a lot more than that."
The HWA man pulled alongside Zendeli at the entry to Turn 1, but the two touched tyres and wobbled slightly. They remained on the tarmac with Zendeli clinging on to the lead.
Hughes attempted a near identical move at the same place two laps later and this time was successful. Zendeli couldn't defend against the DRS advantage, as the Briton angled his HWA around the outside of him to dive past.
The battle was far from over. Zendeli fought back and darted through at the first corner to reclaim first. The German hung on for another four laps, before Hughes got ahead again.
There was plenty going on behind them too. Sargeant and Pourchaire went wheel-to-wheel in the fight for fourth. The American briefly got past the ART driver, but was then out-braked into the first turn, surrendering the position to the Frenchman once more.
Vesti had been keeping pace with the front two, patiently biding his time and waiting for any potential mistakes. He got his chance when Zendeli fell out of DRS range from Hughes, and didn't need a second invitation, using the advantage to fly past at Turn 1.
Within a lap, Vesti had caught up with the race leader and was hounding the back of the HWA man. The Dane's earlier patience was paying off, and with better tyres he was able to fling his PREMA down the side of Hughes and into first place.
Hughes made a late attempt to reclaim first, but Vesti hung on at the line by three tenths of a second. Behind their battle, the Championship fight had been continuing to bubble. Pourchaire grabbed third place in the closing laps as Zendeli dropped to fourth.
Sargeant fell to sixth behind Fittipaldi, with Alex Smolyar holding on to P7. Beckmann claimed eighth, ahead of Sebastián Fernández.
Piastri had managed to fire up to 11th in the order but could not get ahead of Liam Lawson for the final points position.
Piastri and Sargeant are now tied on 160 points in the battle for the crown, with the Australian only ahead on countbacks. Pourchaire is nine points behind in third place. Vesti is fourth, ahead of Lawson and Beckmann, with the trio all now out of title contention.
In the Teams' standings, champions PREMA are first on 462.5 points, ahead of Trident on 249.5 and ART Grand Prix on 237. Hitech Grand Prix are fourth, ahead of HWA.
KEY QUOTE – FREDERIK VESTI (PREMA RACING)
"We won a crazy race with really high degradation. It was really difficult to manage throughout the race. On the last lap, I passed for the lead after a great battle with Jake Hughes.
"I am really happy to win and it is great points for the Championship. We now have three Race 1 wins from the season and I am really happy. A big thanks to PREMA and all of my partners."
Lawson may be out of the running for first, but the Kiwi will start from reverse grid pole in Race 2 on Sunday and could mathematically still take third in the Championship.
Starting from fifth on the reverse grid, Sargeant is the highest placed of the title contenders, as Pourchaire will line up in seventh, and Piastri P11.

Q: Select first instance only with XPath? I am parsing some XML something like this:
<root>
    <some_gunk/>
    <dupe_node>
        ...
        stuff I want
        ...
    </dupe_node>
    <bits_and_pieces/>
    <other_gunk/>
    <dupe_node>
        ...
        stuff I don't want
        ...
    </dupe_node>
    <more_gunk/>
</root>

An XPath of '//dupe_node' will give me two instances of dupe_node to play with. I only want to traverse the first. Can I do this with XPath?

A: //dupe_node[1]

XPath counts from 1, not 0 in this case. You can use this tool to try things out in your browser:
http://www.xmlme.com/XpathTool.aspx?mid=82

A: /descendant::dupe_node[1]

//dupe_node[1] is generally wrong, although it produces an identical result in this particular case. See docs:

The location path //para[1] does not mean the same as the location path /descendant::para[1]. The latter selects the first descendant para element; the former selects all descendant para elements that are the first para children of their parents.

Given the following XML:
<foo>
    <bar/>
    <foo>
        <bar/>
    </foo>
</foo>

//bar[1] will produce two nodes, because both bars are first children of their respective parents.
/descendant::bar[1] will give only one node, which is the first of all the bars in the document.

A: //dupe_node[1]

Me – making the Chocolate Wontons.
Me at age 2, playing "rabbi" with my baby brother.
I grew up with the synagogue as my second home, feeling just as comfortable running around on the bima, as I felt running around my own house.
I loved being involved in my father's Temple. It touched something deep inside of me. I was president of my youth group, I started our congregation's Soviet Jewry Committee, I went to Israel for the first time the summer after I became Bat Mitzvah.
My parents instilled within us the values of Tikkun Olam – Social Justice. They took us marching in rallies for Soviet Jewry, Viet Nam and Israel in New York City and Washington, DC. They taught us the Talmudic teaching: "once the eye has seen and the ear has heard, you can no longer pretend to be uninvolved or unaffected." And they taught us to use our voices to speak up for those who could not speak for themselves.
My parents and grandparents also taught us the value of "audacious welcoming and hospitality". My paternal grandmother was a gourmet chef who was renowned for everything that came out of her kitchen.
My mother taught us early in life how to bake challah and other kinds of homemade bread (although when we were growing up, we did not appreciate bringing our lunches to school on thickly-sliced homemade whole grain bread. Why couldn't we have WonderBread like the other kids?!).
As the oldest of six children, (I have four younger brothers and a younger sister), I quickly learned how to take care of things in the kitchen. I also learned how to experiment with my cooking and baking.
And I learned that I could combine my love of Judaism and my "audacious hospitality" to create community and strong relationships.
Throughout my 25 years in the rabbinate, I have created strong and vibrant relationships wherever I have been. I have nurtured and sustained those relationships through teaching, listening, sharing, healing…by doing all those things that rabbis do. But I also enhance those relationships by welcoming people into my home. By sharing myself and my love of cooking and food with my friends and guests, I hope to transform my relationships into something stronger and deeper.
I do agree with Dr. Ron Wolfson that Judaism is all about creating relationships, nurturing those relationships and strengthening them. Shabbat Shalom!
This blog will sometimes share my Jewish views, sometimes my recipes and thoughts on "audacious hospitality" and sometimes, this blog will combine the two. You will find sections for my sermons and divrei Torah ("sermonettes") and sections for my recipes. I welcome all comments and will try to respond as I am able.
I want to thank Jennifer Lask for all her help in setting this up for me. Jen – you are terrific and I so appreciate your help! The "appearance" is still "in process" so please be patient as we get it going.

In March 2013, I went to Israel to participate in the Israeli Reform Movement's "Ride4Reform" bike ride. This was my 8th time participating in this event. I have the distinction of being the top fundraiser for this bike ride. All funds raised are used to support the programs of the Israeli Reform Movement.
This bike ride is a five-day off-road ride. Each year, it follows a different route. This year we starts in the northern Golan and ended in Caesarea.
I also attended the Bat Mitzvah of my dear friend, Hannah Goodman, from Toronto. Part of her family lives in Israel. She celebrated in Toronto on Monday morning at her home congregation (Holy Blossom Temple), then flew to Israel and we celebrated again at Robinson's arch in Jerusalem on Thursday morning.

In this paper, we consider linear ordinary differential equations originating in electronic engineering, which exhibit exceedingly rapid oscillation. Moreover, the oscillation model is completely different from the familiar framework of asymptotic analysis of highly oscillatory integrals. Using a Bessel-function identity, we expand the oscillator into asymptotic series, and this allows us to extend Filon-type approach to this setting. The outcome is a time-stepping method that guarantees high accuracy regardless of the rate of oscillation.


How To Trademark or Copyright Your Logo or Brand?
How do I file a trademark protection, steps?
Step 1: Is a trademark application right for you?
Step 2: Get ready to apply.
Step 3: Prepare and submit your application.
Step 4: Work with the assigned USPTO examining attorney.
Step 5: Receive approval/denial of your application.
Step 6: Maintain your registration.
What steps are required for registering a trademark?
How much does it cost to trademark my name?
You may be able to obtain state trademark registration for $100–$200. Federal trademark registration extends your protection nationwide and offers other important advantages, but it typically costs more: $275–$375 for each class of goods and services that you want to protect.
Do I have to trademark my logo?
Even if your business name is part of your logo, the two must be registered individually. It usually takes between 10 and 16 months to secure the trademark registration with the USPTO. However, your logo is protected as of the date of filing, not the date of issue, so you can begin using your trademark immediately.
The term of a federal trademark is 10 years, with 10-year renewal terms. However, the USPTO requires that between the fifth and sixth year after the date of registration, the registrant must file an affidavit stating that the mark is still in use. If no affidavit is filed, the registration is cancelled.
How do you copyright a logo?
Tips for registering a trademark, visit the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office's Web site, www.uspto.gov.
Make sure someone else hasn't already registered the mark your category by checking the Trademark Electronic Search System database .
For more information about trademarks contact an attorney, visit google.com search, check out your local SCORE services.
Always include a non disclosure form when sending documents related to business.

When I made Korean scallion/green onionpancakes/Pajeon, I told you I am going to make the Chinese version of scallion pancakes too. And yes I did make it. Chinese scallion pancakes is yet another addictive and delicious snack or appetizer. These are famous street food usually served by vendors.
I always had an impression that Chinese dish means fried rice or noodle, egg rolls and egg drop soup or hot and sour soup. And Indo-Chinese dishes with the Schezwan Sauce/Sichuan Sauce and Manchurian sauce. However, China is big country and has its own cuisine varies from region to region. Unfortunately we only get to taste only a few Chinese recipes adapted to foreign countries just like Indian cuisine. Indian restaurants serve only few items and menu will same all over the world except in India.
According to Wikipedia Chinese scallion / green onion pancake is not leavened savory pancake like our paratha. It may have scant similarities to our paratha; but way of cooking is very different. I was able to find lot of recipes in internet. I liked these three recipes ones from Use real butter, Serious eats and from delicious days. Also watched this YouTube video In this recipe from Appetite for china she is using yeast too. I didn't use yeast in the recipe.
These are made with all purpose flour/Maida. Dough is made with hot water resulting in the breaking down of protein and developing less gluten than cold water dough. Then dough is kept at rest for about 20 minutes and spread into a circle, sprayed with oil and sprinkled with green onion and salt. It is then roll into a long cylinder or tube. Cylinders are cut into small 2 inch-3 inch pieces and rolled it into round disc. You can also make little snails with dough by coiling each single portion of the dough. I found earlier method is easy. Make sure to use All -purpose flour liberally, otherwise it will be sticky mess. Later it is pan-fried using 3 tablespoons of oil in medium heat with constant filliping and pressing. End result will be crispy flaky pancakes. I made ginger-soy dipping sauce to go with it. They are usually served in wedges like pizza slices. I skipped that part and served as such.
My hubby and princess fell in love with it. They started eating it even while I am making. I think these are best at when you serve it warm. Next day they lose their little charm, but are still delicious. I made them a few times, and our love for it has increased every time after having a bite. So feel free to use up your scallions/ green onions in refrigerator by converting them into these pancakes. You won't be disappointed with the outcome.
Let start making dough for the pancake. Add warm water to all purpose flour /maida to form a smooth dough and set aside for about 20 minutes.
While dough is resting make dipping sauce by combining soy sauce, minced ginger, Worcestershire sauce,rice wine vinegar, brown sugar, chili flakes, and scallions/ green onion and set aside. You can make ahead this sauce .
When the dough is ready divide into two equal pieces. Each piece spread as thin as 1/6th inch circle in well floured kitchen table. Then brush the circle with oil and sprinkle salt and green onions.
Then gradually starts rolling the dough with green onion from one end to other end. seem the sides. Cut the tube into 2-3 inch pieces, about 11 pieces from one half of the dough. Then press and roll each small cut pieces into thin disc.
When you finish making disc, heat oil in the pan and start frying them in medium heat.Until both sides become crisp with brown spots.
In a medium bowl add flour and gradually add warm water ( tablespoon or so) and mix until it dough pulls away from the sides.Alternatively you can do it in food processor.
Knead the dough for about 15 minutes and make it smooth and cover with damp kitchen towel and set aside for about 20 minutes.
While dough is resting make the dipping sauce, combine all the ingredients for sauce in a bowl and mix well and set aside. You can make the sauce one ahead too.
After 20 minutes in well floured table divide the dough into two equal sized balls. while you are working with one ball of dough make sure to cover the other dough to prevent from sticking.
Roll the dough into a thin circle for about ⅙ inch thickness. Brush the dough with a teaspoon of oil. Sprinkle salt evenly all of the pancake.
Sprinkle ½ cup green onion/scallions all over the pancake. Roll the pancake from one end like rug and seem the ends.
Cut the rolled pancakes into 11 two to three inch pieces. Then spread each pieces into small 5 inch disc. Dust with flour if you find they are sticking to the rolling pen.
Heat 3 tablespoon of oil in a skillet to medium heat, and add 4 pancake cook for about 2 minutes on one side or when they started getting brown spots flip the other side and cook for about another two minutes. Make sure to continuously press the dough for uniform cooking.
Continue to fry the pancake until you finish the entire dough. Add oil if needed.
Remove from the heat and cut into wedges ( I didn't do that part) enjoy with dipping sauce.
Along with green onions you can all sesame seeds.

New York City schools to close again as city fights coronavirus spread
The nation's largest public school system will halt in-person learning Thursday to try to stop the renewed spread of the coronavirus around New York City.
Author: JENNIFER PELTZ (Associated Press)
Published: 3:00 PM EST November 18, 2020
Updated: 3:51 PM EST November 18, 2020
NEW YORK — New York City is shuttering schools to try to stop the renewed spread of the coronavirus, Mayor Bill de Blasio said Wednesday in a painful about-face for one of the first big U.S. school systems to bring students back to classrooms this fall.
The nation's largest public school system will halt in-person learning Thursday, sending more than 1 million children into all-online classes, the mayor said.
The Democrat said at an afternoon news conference that plans were being made to bring in-person learning back as quickly as possible if the infection rate drops, though he cautioned that the bar to return would be higher than it was to close down. He added that schools would definitely remain closed through Thanksgiving.
"We're going to fight this back," de Blasio said. "This is a setback, but it's a setback we will overcome."
It can't be overcome soon enough for Darneice Foster. She has four children, ranging in age from 4 to 13, now set to be learning from home.
"I don't know what I'm going to do, except pull my hair out," she said.
The city's springtime stretch of all-online learning was "really awful" for the family, which shares a one-bedroom apartment in Upper Manhattan, said Foster, a former pharmaceutical advertising worker who left her job some years ago when one of her children had health problems.
"Now, I really want my kids to catch up, and I'm one person," she said. She said she would "look on the sunny side and just bear it for a few weeks," hoping schools would reopen soon.
The city had said since summer that school buildings would close if 3% of all the coronavirus tests performed citywide over a seven-day period came back positive. As the rate neared that point last week, de Blasio advised parents to prepare for a possible shutdown.
The mayor said the rate equaled that mark as of Tuesday.
The city's public school students will now be taught entirely online, as most already are. As of the end of October, only about 25% of students had gone to class in school this fall, far fewer than officials had expected.
In-person school resumed Sept. 21 for pre-kindergarteners and some special education students. Elementary schools opened Sept. 29 and high schools Oct. 1.
At the time, the seven-day positive test average rate was under 2%.
Even as the school system stayed open, nearly 1,500 classrooms went through temporary closures after students or staffers tested positive, and officials began instituting local shutdowns in neighborhoods where coronavirus cases were rising rapidly.
As of midweek, more than 2,300 students or staff at public schools had tested positive since the start of the school year.
New York City's school system, like others across the nation, initially halted in-person learning in mid-March as the virus spiked.
While many big U.S. school districts later decided to start the fall term with online learning, de Blasio pushed for opening schoolhouse doors. The Democrat argued that students needed services they got in school and that many parents were counting on it in order to get back to work.
To keep students spread out, the city offered in-person learning only part-time, with youngsters logging on from home the rest of the time.
The reopening date, originally set for Sept. 10, was postponed twice as teachers, principals and some parents said safety precautions and staffing were inadequate, with the teachers' union at one point threatening to strike.
The city agreed to changes, including hiring thousands more teachers and testing 10% to 20% of all students and staffers per month for the virus.
When high schools finally opened their doors, de Blasio hailed it as "an absolutely amazing moment" in the city's recovery.

"This is an example of what makes New York City great," he said at the time. "We did something that other cities around this country could only dream of because we have fought back this pandemic so well for so long."
The city's announcement came just as New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who has frequently overruled the mayor on major decisions related to the pandemic, was finishing a news conference in which he said the city had the authority to shut things down if it wished to do so.
Cuomo predicted a "tremendous spike" in COVID-19 cases after Thanksgiving as he pleaded with people not to be lulled into a false sense of safety over the holiday.
"Your family sounds safe, doesn't it? Your home sounds safe. Your dining room table at Thanksgiving sounds safe," Cuomo said at a state Capitol briefing. "No, you won't be safe. It's an illusion."
Parts of western New York that have been under the least onerous "yellow zone" restrictions are now under more restrictive "orange zone" restrictions, in which schools go remote and "high-risk" businesses such as gyms are closed, Cuomo said.

Washingtonians love to play outdoors, especially in local parks and public waters. That is the basic conclusion of a report released earlier this month that studied the effect outdoor recreation has on the state's economy. The study was done for the State Recreation and Conservation Office by Earth Economics in Tacoma. Requested by state Sen. Kevin Ranker (D-Orcas Island), this is the first comprehensive look at the state's recreational economy.
Jim Unsworth, who has spent more than 30 years with Idaho's wildife agency, was chosen Saturday to head Washington's Department of Fish and Wildlife. The 57-year-old Unsworth, who has been the deputy director of the Idaho Department of Fish and Game, was chosen from four finalists by the state Fish and Wildlife Commission. The commission had interviewed eight candidates to take over for Phil Anderson, who announced in August he was resigning.
Well, if you don't do it now, you'll pay for it later. The cost to visit national parks will likely increase by 67 percent in 2015.
SEATTLE — A new state study finds that people in Washington spend nearly $22 billion each year hiking, skiing, boating, golfing, and in other outdoor pursuits.
The report released Thursday estimates that residents spend on average about 56 days a year on outdoor recreational activities. And they spend money while doing so — on hotels, recreational equipment, food and other items.
If you're looking for the time the "Big Tent Outdoor Coalition" drew its first breath, leap back to Spring 2012. We were fresh off legislative sessions where the Washington Wildlife & Recreation Program (WWRP) had to fight to survive in a 2011-13 biennial budget, and funding had been diverted from dedicated recreational accounts in the 2012 supplemental budget process. I sat in a meeting room with Kaleen Cottingham, the Director of the Recreation & Conservation Office, wondering how outdoor recreation could grow a louder and more formative voice in the State Capital.

Home All News Breaking News A Member Of Dictator Yahya Jammeh's Assassin Team Dies!
A Member Of Dictator Yahya Jammeh's Assassin Team Dies!
A prominent member of Yahya Jammeh's assassin team Lance Corporal Sang Mendy has died, the Freedom Newspaper has been reliably informed. Mr. Mendy died few weeks ago. He was suffering from stomach pain, and eventually succumbed to his death. The late Mr. Sang Mendy was an active member of the jungullars, an assassin group constituted by dictator Yahya Jammeh. The group is engaged in perpetrating domestic terrorism by firebombing media houses, killing journalists and politicians. The group also abduct and torture opponents of the Jammeh regime.
Sang Mendy hailed from Tumani Tenda in Kombo East. Tumani Tenda is a village not far from Kafuta. He was jailed together with EX WO2 Bai Lowe, Staff Sergeant Abdoulie Jallow, AKA Jalino, and Anthony Mendy. Upon their release from prison custody, Sang Mendy was reinstated back into the army. He resumed working with the jungullars.
Mr. Mendy's health conditions started deteriorating few weeks ago, when he complained about stomach pain. Mendy was said to have been poisoned. It is not clear if his demise has to do with the dictator's ongoing efforts to liquidate members of his constituted assassin team, who are privy to his genocidal activities within and outside the frontiers of The Gambia.
Meanwhile, another leading member of Yahya Jammeh's assassin team Malick Jatta is on his sickbed. Mr. Jatta is suffering from stomach pain. Mr. Jatta too is believed to have been poisoned.
In another development, dictator Yahya Jammeh is plotting to eliminate his close confidant General Saul Badjie. Mr. Badjie has been on Jammeh's radar for elimination for some time now.
The previous team that was assigned to eliminate Badjie could not deliver the goods. General Alhagie Martin, Borra Colley, Suwandi Camara, Bakary Camara and co were tasked to execute the mission, but couldn't execute it as ordered. Jammeh retaliated by dismissing Martin and Camara. Both Borra Colley and Suwandi Camara have had their duties curtailed.
The new Kanilai Camp Commander General Musa Savage has been tasked to execute the mission to liquidate General Saul Badjie. Mr. Savage is working with Jammeh, Umpa Mendy and co to ensure that General Badjie is out of the equation.
Since the thwarting of the December 30, 2014 coup, General Savage has been in Jammeh's good books. He was credited for having foiled the coup. Mr. Savage met with one of the mutineers Mr. Bai Lowe during a military course in Germany. He was said to have been briefed about the ongoing plot to topple the Jammeh's regime. His course was sponsored by the United States Embassy in Banjul. Savage was the Camp Commander at Farafenni military post prior to his transfer to the State House to head the newly formed anti-terrorism unit.
Upon his return to The Gambia, Mr. Savage maintained the line of communication he used to have with some of the mutineers while he still heads the Farafenni military camp. Along the line, Savage changed heart and snitched on the mutineers by turning them to the status quo in Banjul. He was immediately transferred to the State House and entrusted to head a newly anti terrorism post created by Jammeh.
Both Mr. Savage and General Saul Badjie were on the ground at the State House, when the mutineers stormed the palace. Savage in particular ordered his men on duty to suppress the coup, which resulted in the killing of three of the mutineers. One Baboucarr Bojang, a onetime mentally institutionalized Banjulian was killed by Jammeh's guards during the attack.
For Musa Sarr, a self-confessed former member of dictator Yahya Jammeh's assassin team, he was met by the leader of the mutineers, who briefed him about the then impending operation to topple the regime. Sarr wasted no time by joining the operation. He was given $500 US dollars on the spot, which he used to feed his wife and family while he ventured into the mission to overthrow the Jammeh government.
Mr. Musa Sarr recently contacted the Freedom Newspaper saying that he wanted to relate his story to the world, but he later changed his mind at the eleventh hour. Sarr was engulfed into the heated gunfire when the State House was attacked. He escaped unhurt.

Tracking down costs on Oregon solar project
The FTC Solar Voyager Tracker system DEPCOM Power selected for a group of Oregon solar projects delivered labor efficiencies and helped lower the overall cost of the projects.
A new single-axis tracking and racking system developed by industry veterans at FTC Solar is helping to lower overall project costs, thus contributing to development in less sun-rich targets on the solar resource depth chart. Places like Oregon.
This western, coastal state is witnessing a massive expansion of its solar power production capabilities—leading Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) company DEPCOM Power alone has built several utility-scale projects totaling 150 megawatts (MW) for several customers who have signed long-term power purchase agreements (PPA) with local utility Portland Gas and Electric (PGE).
All 150 MW being installed by DEPCOM Power in Oregon (on six different sites spread throughout the state) feature the FTC Solar Voyager tracking and racking system, the first massive deployment of this technology.
Project construction in the Burns and Fort Rock areas began in summer 2019, with 90 MW completed and 60 MW still under construction in March of this year.
While the racking and tracking system for DEPCOM Power's Oregon projects was provided by FTC Solar, the solar module suppliers were China-based Trina Solar and HT-SAAE, with modules manufactured in Turkey. Inverters were supplied by TMEIC, which is a joint-venture between Toshiba and Mitsubishi.
"The sun doesn't shine as much in Oregon, so we needed the solar technology to enable the economics for solar power as a renewable resource that would actually lower electric bills for the citizens of Oregon," says John Schroeder, senior vice president of plant operations at DEPCOM Power. "Once that happened, we now see the state as a key market."
Schroeder adds that the efficiency of solar modules is at an all-time high, while manufacturing costs are at an all-time low. Also, advances in inverters, transformers, cabling, single-axis tracking systems (like the Voyager system), and construction efficiencies "have brought the level of cost down."
A feature DEPCOM Power valued about the Voyager Tracker system is that it is structurally engineered to hold a "two-high" configuration, meaning that there are two solar modules stacked one above the other.
Financiers are also positive on solar development, viewing solar projects as low-risk, high-grade investments, so the cost of financing has dropped to low levels for developers.
Schroeder says that the breakthrough for Oregon occurred in 2017, when it became possible to produce solar power for less than what consumers pay for it.
The recent build out has had a significant economic impact on local communities. For its part, DEPCOM Power has made many charitable donations within the communities they have impacted, which is a key precept in how they generally conduct business. The company dedicates 10 percent of the net income from each project to local charities that support the impoverished, veterans, education, and community solar programs.
The DEPCOM Power management team averages 20 years of conventional and renewable power experience, having executed more than 4 gigawatts of utility solar projects and are well-acquainted with the team at FTC Solar. Many of FTC Solar's team worked previously for renewable power developer SunEdison.
DEPCOM Power was aware of the wealth of knowledge and experience at FTC Solar when it reviewed the benefits of their advanced
Voyager tracking and racking system, and felt comfortable and confident that the product would work as advertised.
Thanks to ongoing projects such as those built by DEPCOM Power, Oregon continues to be a leader in U.S. solar power. At the beginning of 2020, the state had 733 MW of installed solar power, with some 137 MW installed in 2019 alone. The solar industry has invested more than $1.3 billion in Oregon, including over $157 million in 2019.
"DEPCOM Power has a variety of preferred infrastructure suppliers based on shared core values, technology, competitive service, and pricing—we're always looking for the best in the market to meet our customers' needs," says Schroeder.
One feature DEPCOM Power valued about the Voyager system is that it is structurally engineered to hold a "two-high" configuration, meaning that there are two solar modules stacked one above the other. They view this as a major technological advance. There are twice as many watts being supported with close to the same structural components. Even though individual posts and piles are a bit bigger, taking longer to install versus typical piles for one-high configurations, only about half as many are needed, so overall, there is an installation time savings. This two-high configuration also allows for larger row spacing, counteracting the issue of shading by front panels on panels behind them early in the day, leading to higher overall power production, while also providing easier vehicle access for maintenance.
Fewer man-hours are required in module installation with the Voyager Tracking and racking system because FTC Solar has a unique design that enables installation to be twice as fast, resulting in time savings across multiple facets of a project
"That one little change of being able to put modules in a two-high configuration affects many downstream processes for the EPC and the owner long term," says Schroeder,
especially considering that the FTC Solar system uses a self-powered tracking system. Each Voyager tracker row is powered by two auxiliary 60 watt modules that supply the drive system and a lithium-ion backup battery that provides up to three days of autonomy.
Kirk Hayes, director of engineering, procurement, and construction at FTC Solar, confirms that the company brings a great depth of solar construction experience to the
jobsite.
"We know how to do everything that our customers are trying to do, from pile driving to module installation and even performance testing," he says. "We don't just help them install trackers—our customers, including DEPCOM Power, have reached out to us for support with particularly challenging site conditions."
That's because FTC Solar has an experienced field operations team that can help both EPCs and owners optimize installations and save money.
Hayes says that with installation of the Voyager tracking and racking system, FTC Solar is able to deliver a 30 to 40 percent reduction in the total number of man-hours required to install a solar project because of the system's design. That means projects are built faster and cheaper, which helps to make development markets like Oregon more attractive.
The Voyager tracking and racking system infrastructure requires fewer piles so there is less time required for pile driving. There are fewer components to assemble, so there is a time savings in this regard as well. "You also require fewer man-hours in module installation because we have a unique design that enables you to be twice as fast," says Hayes. "So the time savings are really across multiple facets of the project."
The key, he adds, is for developers to view their projects holistically, to come to realize where a major innovation like the Voyager tracker delivers time and cost savings throughout the entire project.
"I used to be a construction and project manager, and there are benefits before and after, if you select the right technology," says Hayes. "That's where we play. It's not just about the tracker installation.
"It's about how much work did you have to do to prepare for that tracker, and now that you have installed it, how fast were you able to install modules, and guess what? You don't have to use as much DC wire, so there is less material cost there as well."
He adds that various EPCs have told him that the Voyager system is the simplest tracking system that they have worked with, and that it is easy to put together.
Hayes expects that competitors will attempt to duplicate their module attachment system quickly because unlike previous records consistently achieving 25 modules installed per man hour, workers installing modules on the Voyager system can achieve 40 to 45 modules per hour.
Not only does FTC Solar provide racking and tracking that saves significant installation time, it also provides the software that optimizes the performance of their Voyager trackers.
"One of our roadmaps is to continue to evolve the software and deploy it in the same way that Tesla regularly deploys upgrades on their cars," says Hayes.
He described Oregon as a diverse working environment, with these DEPCOM Power projects quite spread out. Several projects are situated near the coast while others are farther inland. The geography near the coast is more hilly and mountainous, which suited the Voyager system well because it can handle a 17.5 percent, 10-degree grade.
Schroeder says that environmental studies were required on each Oregon project to ensure that indigenous species and various environmental attributes were protected.
"Land locations for these projects were chosen because they didn't have large environmental impacts," he explained. "But what they did have were wetlands, so we were required to always be cognizant of avoiding those areas and also managing construction so that we were not creating new ones."
The key was to coordinate and communicate with local authorities and environmental groups to ensure that construction occurred within state regulations.
There was plenty of capacity available on the existing PGE power grid to absorb the solar power production that DEPCOM Power's customers brought on line.


Psalm 2 begins with the question, Why do the heathen rage? The answer is found in the first three verses of the chapter and then the next two verses show you God's response to their rage. We are going to study the first three verses.
This passage deals with the international opposition to God and the Lord Jesus Christ but spiritual application can be made to individuals, as well. So, we will deal with the truths in this passage that pertain to both nations and individuals, alike.
Lack of the knowledge of God – Ps 2:1 – "heathen" – no fear, no knowledge Prov 1:7; Rom 3:18 – Paul blasphemed God in ignorance 1 Tim 1:13 – the men who crucified Jesus didn't know him 1 Cor 2:7-8 – they may even profess that they know him when they don't Titus 1:16 – the only way they are going to know him is through believing the Bible.
Vain imagination – Ps 2:1 – "imagine a vain thing" – vain imaginations darken the heart Rom 1:21 – their imaginations are vain because they are alienated from the life of God Eph 4:17-18 – their thoughts are contrary to the sound wisdom of God's words.
Ungodly associations – Ps 2:2 – "the kings of the earth set themselves" – they take counsel together but all the counselors are against God – this is a very simple truth – the nations who are against the God of the Bible will try to overthrow God and God's people Dan 7:25; Dan 8:23-25.
Foolish counsel – Ps 2:2 – "the rulers take counsel together" – a companion of fools shall be destroyed Prov 13:20 – there are those who walk in the counsel of the ungodly Ps 1:1 – because this counsel is contrary to the counsel of God it will not stand Prov 21:30 – God's counsel is found in a true belief of God's words.
Misunderstanding of liberty – Ps 2:3 – "bands… cords" – read and digest these verses Jas 1:25; Jn 8:32; Gal 5:1; 2 Cor 3:12 – you don't have liberty apart from God and apart from his laws which have been fulfilled in Jesus Christ Rom 10:4.
Rebellion against God's laws – Ps 2:3 – "break… cast away" – they try to break the bands and cast away the cords – they see the liberty of God as constraining; we know it to be liberating – thus they ensnare themselves in their own deception and rebellion against God 2 Pet 2:18-19 – they aggressively oppose God and God's people to the point of attempting to annihilate them.
Conclusion: the heathen rage because they are clueless about God, God's word and God's liberty – all of this clears up in Jesus Christ and in the Bible if they will humble themselves and believe what God said.

Die Färöische Fußballmeisterschaft der Frauen 1991 wurde in der 1. Deild genannten ersten färöischen Liga ausgetragen und war insgesamt die siebte Saison. Sie startete am 5. Mai 1991 und endete am 22. September 1991.

Aufsteiger MB Miðvágur kehrte nach vier Jahren in die höchste Spielklasse zurück. Meister wurde ÍF Fuglafjørður, die den Titel somit zum ersten Mal erringen konnten. Titelverteidiger Skála ÍF landete auf dem vierten Platz. Absteigen musste hingegen MB Miðvágur nach einem Jahr Erstklassigkeit. MB Miðvágur blieb hierbei über die gesamte Spielzeit ohne Punktgewinn. Ohne Punkt blieben ansonsten nur GÍ Gøta II (1985), MB Miðvágur (1986) KÍ Klaksvík (1987), NSÍ Runavík (1989) sowie Skála ÍF (1998).

Im Vergleich zur Vorsaison verbesserte sich die Torquote auf 3,36 pro Spiel. Den höchsten Sieg erzielte HB Tórshavn mit einem 7:0 im Heimspiel gegen MB Miðvágur am ersten Spieltag, was zugleich neben dem 2:5 zwischen KÍ Klaksvík und ÍF Fuglafjørður am neunten Spieltag das torreichste Spiel darstellte.

Modus

In der 1. Deild spielte jede Mannschaft an 14 Spieltagen jeweils zwei Mal gegen jede andere. Die punktbeste Mannschaft zu Saisonende stand als Meister dieser Liga fest, die letzte Mannschaft stieg in die 2. Deild ab.

Saisonverlauf

Meisterschaftsentscheidung

HB Tórshavn setzte sich durch Siege in den ersten drei Spielen von Beginn an an die Spitze der Tabelle. Nach der Auswärtsniederlage am vierten Spieltag gegen Skála ÍF schob sich ÍF Fuglafjørður vorbei, die erst am nächsten Spieltag durch ein 1:1 beim nun Zweitplatzierten HB Tórshavn den ersten Punkt abgaben. In den folgenden sieben Spielen wurde nur beim 3:3 im Heimspiel gegen Skála ÍF am zehnten Spieltag ein weiterer Punkt abgegeben, so dass am zwölften Spieltag durch einen 1:0-Erfolg gegen den direkten Verfolger HB Tórshavn die Meisterschaft entschieden wurde. Die einzige Niederlage kassierte ÍF am darauffolgenden Spieltag beim 2:3 im Auswärtsspiel gegen B36 Tórshavn.

Abstiegskampf

Vom ersten bis zum letzten Spieltag lag MB Miðvágur am Tabellenende. Nach dem 0:5 am elften Spieltag gegen ÍF Fuglafjørður betrug der Rückstand uneinholbare acht Punkte bei noch drei ausstehenden Spieltagen und der Abstieg war besiegelt. Im Laufe der Saison wurden alle Spiele verloren.

This volume provides readers with selected fuzzy and rough tools used to medical tasks, especially diagnosing and medication. To build a link between theoretical, mathematical excerpts and practical medical applications, the contents is formed as a sequence of occurrences in which a patient appears to be diagnosed and cured. The fuzzy and rough elements are inserted in the book in the order required by the presentation of medical substance to maintain the logical unity of the book's essence. In conformity with this pattern the essay presents in turn some necessary elements of fuzzy set theory, the classical fuzzy diagnostic model with extensions, the fuzzy diagnostic model with clinical examinations extended throughout time based on distance theory, methods of drug effectiveness measurements and algorithms selecting the optimal medicine. As the complement, the solution of an approximation problem is suggested to find a curve that surrounds two-dimensional clock-like point sets with the little approximation error. A lot of appealing examples are added to facilitate comprehension of theoretical principles for a reader, so that even a beginner in fuzzy set theory can follow calculation steps without implementing computer programs. It should be emphasized that all models are also applicable to other fields, especially to technical domains after necessary adaptations. This confirms the existence of the large spectrum of applicable fuzzy and rough methods not only in medicine but also in natural sciences.


Dale Benjamin Conklin, 87 of Midland, died Thursday evening, November 1, 2018 at MediLodge of Midland. He was born October 7, 1931 on the family farm in Merrill, son of the late Martin Edward and Marguerite (Tyron) Conklin.

There Are Actually More Gorillas And Chimps Than We Thought — But They're Still Endangered
By Kara Goldfarb
While there are more gorillas and chimps than we expected, they are going extinct at a more alarming rate we previously thought.
There are 361,900 gorillas and 128,700 chimpanzees.
A new survey, the largest one ever on western lowland gorillas and central chimpanzees, has provided new insights into these animals, with surprising results.
Published on April 25, 2018, in the journal Science Advances , the study was conducted between 2003 and 2013, using 59 sites across five countries, for a total of 61,000 days of fieldwork. All That's Interesting spoke with Fiona Maisel PhD, who is a conservation scientist at the Wildlife Conservation Society and lead author on the study.
Maisel and her colleague, Samantha Strindberg, have been advising on these surveys for over twenty years and been improving their methods throughout. According to Maisel, "we were able to collate all the data from the last decade of these regular site-specific surveys, as we knew it would give us a species-wide overview of abundance, distribution, and population trends."
The survey estimated that there were 361,900 gorillas and 128,700 chimpanzees, which is almost a third more gorillas than any previous survey has estimated, and one-tenth more chimpanzees.
However, at three percent a year, the rate of the gorilla and chimpanzee populations are dropping at a much more alarming degree than previously predicted.
So even though there are more gorillas than previously thought, their classification as "critically endangered" remains based on their rapid rate of decline.
Measures that can be taken to preserve these animals aren't exactly surprising. They include anti-poaching efforts, disease control measures, and preservation of habitats. What's more insightful, based on the research, is just how much emphasis should be placed on these three methods of conservation and which method is best suited for particular locations.
Around 20 percent of gorillas live in protected areas. "In the short term, ensuring that protected areas are well-protected, well-managed, and have long-term funding will protect the 20 percent of gorillas and chimpanzees found within them," said Maisel.
However, the other 80 percent live outside protected areas. "Most of the others live in logging concessions and huge swamplands," said Maisel. That 80 percent of gorillas and chimps can be protected if the international best practices by the Forest Stewardship Council Standards are enforced, "which include strict no-hunting policies, closure of logging roads after the area has been logged, and reducing impact logging," said Maisel.
As for the long term, "integrated, national land use planning is key as countries increasingly seek to diversify their economies beyond wood and petroleum," said Maisel.
In addition to the areas that were covered by fieldwork, the researchers incorporated a method of scenario-based modeling for the areas that they couldn't physically go to.
"It is a recognized method used across the world," Maisel informed us. After the data from the sites was compiled, the method allows the relationship between the density of a species and certain parameters like "tree height, whether there are guards, slope, distance to the same road" to be mathematically modeled. This model is then applied to the areas that weren't surveyed. Then, "we can predict wildlife densities in the 'gaps' between the surveyed sites," said Maisel.
Overall, the biggest takeaway is that the researchers have quantified gorilla decline. "We have shown how important the presence of guards are for both gorilla and chimps," said Maisel, adding, "we need to pay a lot of attention to the 80 percent of the land outside the formal network of protected areas."
Being able to identify which actions are the best ones to take for maximum conservation is crucial so that we can, as Maisel said, "save these animals that are so close to us, both in evolutionary terms and in the way that they see the world around them."
Next read about elephant that killed a big game hunter by slamming on top of him. Then read about the man who led anti-poaching efforts that was shot and killed.
