Many families in District 12 were hit with a surprise on Monday night and had to rush saving whatever they could.
A flood triggered by high tide hit the residences of Thanh Loc Ward, District 12 by surprise on Monday night, the last day of the New Year holiday break.
Local authorities confirmed that a problem at a sluice gate was the cause. "The lid fell out of its joint and so the high tide from the Vam Thuat River flooded into the residential area," said Vu Anh Duc, Chairman of Thanh Xuan Ward.
Water was over a meter deep in some places where locals put up signs to mark as dangerous area.
"It all came so fast our family didn't have time to react," said Hien, owner of a garment facility hit by the dark water.
A grocery store was also in knee-deep water.
At around 11:00p.m., Nguyen Hong Vinh, 36, was still trying to save household items while waiting for the water to recede.
Nguyen Thi Phuong Hong, 51, said she was only able to save her children's school books and some clothes.
A married couple used sand bags to protect their store.
A driver kept his legs up.
As of Tuesday morning, the water finally receded. Locals in Thanh Loc and Thanh Xuan Ward were still busy draining the water out of their houses. Local authorities told the residents to turn off all electrical devices to avoid getting shocked.

150-Year-Old Recipes from the Emerald Isle
Whether you're looking for a new dish to serve on St. Patrick's Day — or just in the mood for some hearty home cooking — here are three delicious Irish recipes from the 1800s.
An Irish Stew
Originally published in The Saturday Evening Post, April 8, 1865
Take off the under bone from the best end of a neck of mutton, and cut it into chops; season them with pepper and salt, some mushroom powder, and beaten mace. Put the meat into a stew pan, slice a large onion, and tie up a bunch of parsley and thyme, and add these and a pint of veal [or beef] broth to the meat.
Let this simmer until the chops are about three-parts done, then add some onions and whole potatoes peeled, and let all stew together until thoroughly cooked. Take out the parsley and thyme, and serve up in a deep dish.
Spiced Beef in the Irish Style
Originally published in The Saturday Evening Post, October 10, 1868
For Spice Rub
1 pint salt
1 ounce saltpeter
2 ounces pepper
2 ounces cloves
1 ounce allspice
4 ounces brown sugar
To a round weighing from 20 to 25 pounds, take [spice rub ingredients], all well pulverized, and mixed together; rub the round well with it, and lay it in a small tub or vessel by itself. Turn and rub it once a day for 10 days. It will not injure if it remain a week longer in the spices, if it should not be convenient to bake it.
When you wish to have it cooked, strew over the top of the round a small handful of suet. Be particular to bind it tight round with a cord, or narrow strip of muslin, which must be wrapped several times round to keep it in shape; put it in a dutch-oven, and add three pints of water when it is first put down; keep water boiling in the tea-kettle, and add a little as it seems necessary, observing not to add too much. It will require a slow heat, and take four hours to bake.
This is a very fine standing dish, and will be good for three weeks after cooking. Keep the gravy that is left over it to pour over it to keep it moist.
Irish Griddle or Slim Cakes
Originally published in The Saturday Evening Post, April 23, 1870
Rub 2 ounces of butter into half a pound of flour with a little salt, make it into a stiff paste with a little milk, roll it out half an inch thick, and cut it into squares and rounds, or any shape you like. It will take half an hour to bake; it should be baked on a griddle over a stove, or in the oven with the door open.
Scientific Notes: Irish Whisky
Originally published in The Saturday Evening Post, May 6, 1876
Irish, and especially Dublin whisky, when genuine, is prepared in old-fashioned stills called "pot" stills, by the distillation of a mash made partly from malted and partly from unmalted barley. The process of distillation is so managed as to bring over a product of the proper fineness, loaded with only so much essential oil as will undergo the desired changes within a reasonable time; and the new spirit is then stored in old sherry casks, from which it derives some additional flavor, and also its well-known yellowish tint — all distilled spirit being originally colorless — and it is kept in bond generally for about three years. By the end of that time, the fusel oil which it once contained has undergone conversion into other compounds, and the result — the real Dublin whisky — is a spirit singularly free from any tendency to produce acidity, and flavored in a manner highly esteemed by connoisseurs, by the products of the gradual and spontaneous decomposition of its fusel oil, which although in itself noxious, is ultimately replaced by essences of a harmless character. From whisky made and treated as described, the bulk of fusel oil generally disappears in about 12 months, although the spirit continues to undergo beneficial changes for a much longer period of time.

Clerks and Clergy in Yorkshire, Nottinghamshire, and parts of Lancashire, Westmorland, and Northumberland (1215-1255)
The register of archbishop Walter Gray of York, containing general diocesan business, mostly relating to clergy. The diocese of York at this period covered all of Yorkshire and Nottinghamshire, as well as Lancashire north of the Ribble, southern Westmorland, and Hexhamshire in Northumberland. The register survives as two rolls (called the Major and the Minor), in all amounting to nearly 71 feet of parchment. It is thought that a third roll or more has been lost, because the acts of the archbishop for the last ten years of his episcopate are missing, as are all the ordination and ecclesiastical discipline records for his reign. The then unpublished parts of the register were edited for the Surtees Society by James Raine and printed in 1870, with some additional material included in appendices.
RICHMOND. Cost: £4.00.
Liberate Rolls (1260-1267)
These chancery liberate rolls of the 45th to 51st years of the reign of Henry III of England record the details of payments and allowances as part of the administration of government. Most entries start with the Latin words 'liberate', meaning 'deliver', or 'allocate', meaning allow. There are also 'contrabreves', warrants mainly to sheriffs of shires, assigning them tasks and allowing expenses. Most of the entries relate to England and Wales, but there are occasional references to Ireland and the English possessions in France.
Clerks and Clergy in Yorkshire, Nottinghamshire, and parts of Lancashire (1266-1279)
The register of archbishop Walter Giffard of York, containing general diocesan business, mostly relating to clergy, was edited by William Brown for the Surtees Society and published in 1904. The ancient diocese of York covered all of Yorkshire and Nottinghamshire, as well as Lancashire north of the Ribble, southern Westmorland, and Hexhamshire in Northumberland. But there are few entries relating to the archdeaconry of Richmond, and few about the peculiar jurisdictions of Southwell, Ripon, Beverley and Hexham. The dioceses of Carlisle and Durham, both in the province of York, are hardly mentioned. Archbishop Giffard spent much of his pontificate away from his diocese, and the register has gaps: but at least it survives, unlike those for his immediate predecessors, Sewall de Boville (1256-1258) and Godfrey de Ludham (1258-1264). Moreover, there are ordination lists (pages 187 to 198) of acolytes, subdeacons, deacons and priests ordained in 1267 to 1274. These usually give full name, and indicate whether the man was 'religious' (a monk or friar), and whether his 'title' (sponsorship) arose from his own patrimony, but 'title' is not usually otherwise specified.
Yorkshire Inquisitions (1241-1283)
Inquisitions post mortem are inquiries as to the real estate and heir of each person holding in capite or in chief, i. e. directly, from the Crown, or whose estates had been escheated or were in ward. The age and relationship of the heir are usually recorded. Inquisitions ad quod damnum enquired as to any activities (including maladministration by local officials) that had resulted in any material loss to the Crown. Both sets of inquisitions for this period were edited by William Brown for the Yorkshire Archaeological and Topographical Association, and printed in 1891. This index covers all names mentioned, including jurors, tenants, &c.

The age and relationship of the heir are usually recorded. Inquisitions ad quod damnum enquired as to any activities (including maladministration by local officials) that had resulted in any material loss to the Crown. Proofs of age are inquiries into the precise date of birth of an heir, usually involving local inhabitants recalling those circumstances which fixed that date in their mind. Yorkshire inquisitions for this period were edited by William Brown for the Yorkshire Archaeological Society, and printed in 1898. This index covers all names mentioned, including jurors, tenants, &c.
Pontefract Cartulary (1100-1300)
The Cluniac monastery of St John the Evangelist at Pontefract (Pomfret) in the West Riding of Yorkshire, was founded in the 11th century by Robert de Lascy. The grants of land made to the priory from then well into the 13th century were copied into a cartulary or chartulary which eventually came to Godfrey Wentworth of Woolley Park. This was edited by Richard Holmes and published by Yorkshire Archaeological Society in 1899 and 1902. The individuals named are mainly local landowners and tenants, canons, servants and wellwishers of the monastery. The charters before 1250 are often undated: the numbering of the charters is modern, and amounts to 561. The cartulary itself contains 11 fasciculi, to which Holmes gave these section names - I. The Seigniorial Charters; II. The Ecclesiastical Charters; III. Royal Charters and Confirmations; IV. The Local Charters (Pontefract &c.); V. The Ledstone Charters; VI. The Ledsham Charters; VII. Miscellaneous Charters; VIII. The Peckfield and other Charters; IX. and X. Scarborough and other Charters; and XI. Leases to Tenants. Ledston(e), Ledsham and Peckfield are all close to Pontefract, as is most of the property.
Guisborough Cartulary (1119-1300)
The Augustinian (black canons) priory of the Blessed Virgin Mary at Guisborough (Gyseburne) near Middlesbrough in north Yorkshire, was founded about 1119 by Robert de Brus. The 1100 or so grants of land (mostly in Cleveland) made to the priory from then well into the 13th century were copied into a cartulary or chartulary which survives as Cottonian Manuscript Cleopatra d ii (British Library). This was edited by W. Brown and published by the Surtees Society from 1889. This second part contains the charters numbered DXCIV to MCLXXXIX. The texts have been stripped of repetitious legal formulae, retaining the details of the grantors, the property, and the witnesses: so the individuals named are mainly local landowners and tenants, canons, servants and wellwishers of the monastery. The charters before 1250 are often undated. The charters in this section are arranged by place, under the heads 'Normanby; Martona; Thornaby; Ugthorpe et Pecibiggyng; Levingtona; Jarum; Castle Levington; Kepwyck; Feyceby; Atona; Thresk; Neuton; Estona; Lackenby; Lyum; Cotum; Scheltona; Brottona; Moresom; Glasedale Daneby et Moresum; Kylton; Lofthus; Esingtona; Lyverton; Daneby; Glasdale; Uggethorpe; Percybyggyng; Sletholme; Scalynge; Redker; Merske; Hesele; Lunde super le Walde; Kirkburn; Rotsea; Bainton; Tibthorpe; Ingleby Arncliff; East Harlsey; Sawcock; Scarth; Stokesley; Kirkby-in-Cleveland; Battersby; Stainton-in-Cleveland; Maltby; Ayresome; York; Sinnington; Barningham and Newsham; Aylesby; Kelsterne; Bridekirk and Appleton; Aislaby; Hart and Hartlepool; Castle Eden; and Annandale'. Three further sections are added from other sources: 1. Documents connected with the burning of the priory church in 1289; 2. Extracts from the registers of the archbishops of York relating to the priory, 1238 to 1337; 3. A rent roll of the priory of about 1300 (pp. 412 to 450), giving many names of tenants.

Yorkshire inquisitions for this period were edited by William Brown for the Yorkshire Archaeological Society, and printed in 1902. This index covers all names mentioned, including jurors, tenants, &c. The volume also includes two stray inquests, from 1245 and 1282.
Inhabitants of Leicester (1103-1327)
The Corporation of Leicester commissioned the publication (in 1899) of extracts from the earliest borough archives, edited by Mary Bateson. This volume brings together several important sources: the borough charters; the merchant gild rolls (from 1196 onwards); tax returns; court rolls (from about 1260 onwards); mayoral accounts, &c. All the Latin and French texts are accompanied by English translations. Membership of the merchant gild was by right of inheritance (s. p. = sede patris, in his father's seat), or by payment of a fee called a 'bull' (taurus). The sample scan shows part of a gild entrance roll; those marked * paid their bull, and were thus, by implication, not natives, or at least not belonging to gild merchant families. By 1400 membership of the gild merchant had become the equivalent of gaining freedom of the borough (being a free burgess): but at this period the two were not necessarily the same, and some of the merchant gild members were not resident in the borough, merely traded there. Not all the tax rolls surviving for this period are printed: but full lists of names are given for a loan for redemption of pontage and gavelpence of 1252-3 (pp. 44-46); five tallages of 1269 to 1271 brought together in a single table (128-145); and tallages of 1286 (208-211), 1307 (255-257), 1311 (272-274) and 1318 (310-313). The portmanmoot (or portmote) was the borough court dealing with minor infractions and civil suits. Finally, there is a calendar of charters (from c.1232 onwards, 381-400), and a list of mayors, bailiffs (reeves), receivers and serjeants (401-407).
Clergy at Beverley Minster (1322-1347)
The minster (collegiate church) of St John of Beverley in Yorkshire was an important foundation with extensive ecclesiastical and temporal rights exercised by the chapter. The main register of the administration in both respects was the chapter act book, and this edition of the act book from 2 February 1322 to 19 November 1347 was edited by Arthur Francis Leach for the Surtees Society and published in 1903. The act book material occupies pages 1 to 136; to this were added extracts relating to Beverley from the registers of the Archbishops of York from 1279 to 1381; miscellaneous documents from York Minster manuscripts and the British Museum from 1135 to 1314; and a copy of the Beverley Provost's Book, compiled in 1417, but with material from the preceding centuries. All these sources are covered by this index: but the bulk of the personal references are from the chapter act book, and relate to clergy at or connected with Beverley.

Book review: Frederic Martel's 'Smart: The Digital Century'
By: Ishaan Gera |
New Delhi | Published: September 23, 2018 1:22:03 AM
A book talks about the many internets and the change they are bringing to society.
When Gil Scott-Heron wrote the song, The Revolution will not be Televised, in the 1970s, not only was it a call for a passive society to take part in the structural change the world was going through, but also an attack on the crass consumerism that was taking over everything. Unfortunately, Heron is not around now to write about the era of the internet. But Frederic Martel's Smart: The Digital Century makes an effort.
The aim of Martel's work is not to point to the digitalisation of the world, but to highlight the many facets of the internet that have emerged. According to Martel, the phenomenon of digitalisation and a globalised internet are still years away, as the entity has taken many manifestations to suit the tastes, cultures and regimes of different countries. The 'Internet', Martel argues, has become 'internets', more localised in form and nature.
Climate and environment are hot topics but nothing has been done yet: Greta Thunberg at WEF
Makaravilakku concludes at Sabarimala! Lord Ayyappa temple closes after peaceful pilgrimage season
Martel surveys people across five continents to present his views on this dialectical relation that the internet shares with the world. He tries to explain how it is changing the world, even as the world, in turn, is working on improving the service itself.
Written in a journalistic fashion, Smart takes over from Martel's previous work, Mainstream, which discussed the confluence of media and cultures. In his new book, Martel concentrates in a methodical way on the different ideas in different geographies. For instance, he talks about the role of social TV and apps in the Maghreb region, while in Latin America, he focuses on the power of blogging and Twitter. For China and Iran, he is entirely focused on the hyper-localisation of the internet and the regimes' influence on its services.
A large section of the book, however, remains focused on the American economy and its interactions along with those of the EU market—even Smart, in that sense, can't ignore the magnanimity of the American market and its impact on the world.
The book is divided into 12 chapters on issues ranging from social TV, gaming and Silicon Valley. It is filled with examples from each of the continents, but concentrated on the features of some. For instance, in the case of Silicon Valley, Martel highlights the different iterations of the region that are coming up across the world. More importantly, he points out how this phenomenon is actively and religiously pursued by governments, but is, in fact, guided by the market.
Similarly, Martel points to the world of e-commerce, where the Amazon model has somewhat been replicated by startups successfully to suit their conditions. However, a lot of Martel's time goes in explaining the American phenomenon and, even though unwittingly, he can't escape the bounds of American hegemonic control. In comparison, the analysis of other countries takes a backseat, which is a big drawback, given how Martel has illustrated the different facets of the internet in consonance with the US model of the Internet.
The book also falters in the narration. Despite Martel's best efforts, there is a lot left to the reader's imagination. Another problem is the 'saviour phenomenon', which the author attaches to the US and EU. He does grip the reader's attention, but some examples seem too stretched. The problem becomes accentuated when Martel tries to present solutions across geographies; from thereon, the book becomes a maze of internets. Also, Martel stresses too much on the singularity aspect of the internet. But was the internet ever supposed to be a singular entity? In fact, if it had been so, it would have represented yet another example of American hegemony. Though it is right that American content is finding more audience day by day, what's also true is that the popularity of the likes of South Korean singer Psy is drowning out Americanism, and shall become stronger with more localisation.
Martel's is an excellent account for anybody trying to understand the different internets. Even with a skewed conclusion, Martel does highlight the problems. However, what the book misses out on is the fluidity of the web. A few years ago, I heard the term 'glocal', an amalgamation of 'global' and 'local'.
The internet has been glocal, and its strength lies in being glocal. The #MeToo movement is the best representation of such a phenomenon, where despite the localisation, a global phenomenon is getting localised.

"The Strange Bird: A Borne Story," by Jeff VanderMeer [bio], published on August 1, 2017 by Farrar Straus and Giroux.
Pro: The setting is incredibly imaginative.
The plot is solid, albeit bittersweet, since the Strange Bird finally delivers the message from one dead woman to another.
The Magician's conversion of the Strange Bird into a living, thinking cloak is very effectively horrifying.
Con: The Strange Bird hasn't got a lot of agency; others do most of the acting and it just goes along for the ride most of the time.
The ending goes on for too long. Once the four new birds are created, it's tedious having to wait to find out what was at the destination.
The ultimate result is that it was all in vain.

Hardback $120.00
A Fifteenth-Century Manuscript of Jewish Magic: MS New York Public Library, Heb. 190 (Formerly Sassoon 56), Introduction, Annotated Edition and Facsimile, by Gideon Bohak. ספר כשפים יהודי מהמאה הט"ו כתב יד ניו יורק, הספריה הציבורית 190 (לשעבר ששון 56) מבוא, מהדורה מבוארת וצילום כתב היד מאת גדעון בוהק (Sources and Studies in the Literature of Jewish Mysticism 44), in HEBREW: Volume 1 328 pages, Study and Edition, Black and White Printing; Volume 2, 272 pages. ISBN 1-933379-49-9. SOLD AS A TWO VOLUME SET.
The Jewish magical tradition was transmitted from generation to generation both orally and via manuscripts, which are well attested at least from the tenth to the twentieth centuries. Many hundreds, and perhaps even thousands, of manuscripts of Jewish magic have survived, and are available in public and private collections all over the world. And yet, no attempt has ever been made to penetrate this world in a systematic manner, or to edit any single manuscript of Jewish magic in its entirety. Hence the importance of the present edition, of a fifteenth-century manuscript, copied somewhere in the Arabic-speaking world by a Jewish scribe, Moses son of Jacob and Marhaba, and containing both Kabbalistic texts and an endless stream of magical recipes for every imaginable purpose. The edition of the manuscript is annotated with copious footnotes, is preceded by a detailed introduction and followed by detailed indices, and is accompanied by a color facsimile of the entire manuscript.

Zechariah 6 is the sixth of the total 14 chapters in the Book of Zechariah in the Hebrew Bible or the Old Testament of the Christian Bible. This book contains the prophecies attributed to the prophet Zechariah, and is a part of the Book of the Twelve Minor Prophets. This chapter contains the description of the eighth vision and the crowning of Joshua. It is a part of a section (so-called "First Zechariah") consisting of Zechariah 1–8.

Text
The original text was written in the Hebrew language. This chapter is divided into 15 verses.

Textual witnesses
Some early manuscripts containing the text of this chapter in Hebrew are of the Masoretic Text, which includes the Codex Cairensis (from year 895), the Petersburg Codex of the Prophets (916), and Codex Leningradensis (1008). Fragments containing parts of this chapter were found among the Dead Sea Scrolls, that is, 4Q80 (4QXIIe; 75–50 BCE) with extant verses 1–5.

There is also a translation into Koine Greek known as the Septuagint, made in the last few centuries BCE. Extant ancient manuscripts of the Septuagint version include Codex Vaticanus (B; B; 4th century), Codex Sinaiticus (S; BHK: S; 4th century), Codex Alexandrinus (A; A; 5th century) and Codex Marchalianus (Q; Q; 6th century).

Vision of the four chariots (6:1–8)
This section records the eighth (and last) vision in the series which forms an indusio with the first, focusing on the pacifying of the north country, the direction where the majority of attacks on Israel came from (cf. Jeremiah 1:14).

Verse 5
And the angel answered and said to me, "These are four spirits of heaven, who go out from their station before the Lord of all the earth."
"Spirits of heaven": or "winds of heaven" (MEV). The Hebrew word for "spirit" may also mean "wind" or "breath" depending on the context (cf. ASV, NRSV, CEV "the four winds of heaven").

The command to crown Joshua (6:9–15)
Following the eight visions, this section provides a closure of the cycle by describing the crowning of Joshua as a 'messianic' leader.

Verse 11
Then take silver and gold, and make crowns,
and set them upon the head of Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest;
 "Silver and gold": A part of what was brought from Babylon or the contributions from the Jews in the diaspora, the kings and princes in the area (see , etc.; , etc.).
 "Make crowns": Zechariah was to get the crowns made (compare , passim). The plural may here be used intensively for "a noble crown," as in  (also in , ; ; ; . ); or it may signify the two metals of which the crown was made, two or more wreaths being intertwined to form it. Here Joshua may symbolize 'a Person in whom the offices of priest and king were united' (cf. Psalm 110; in  Jesus (= "Joshua" in Hebrew) is said to wear many crowns on his head, referring to 'a diadem composed of many circlets'), because a high priest's "mitre" (; made of the plate or "flower" of pure gold with the engraving "Holiness to the Lord" ) is never called a crown, but what to be set on Joshua's head is a royal crown.

Verse 12
 And speak unto him, saying, Thus speaketh the Lord of hosts, saying,
 Behold the man whose name is The Branch;
 and he shall grow up out of his place,
 and he shall build the temple of the Lord:
 "Behold, the man" (,  ): This phrase is used in a speech to draw attention to someone different from the one in conversation (, ; ; cf. ), so Joshua here is not the Branch (the Sprout figure), but that figure is 'accessible and approaching' the scene. Pilate spoke similar words regarding Jesus, "Behold the man" (John 19:5).
 "Grow up out": from the Hebrew verb , , to "sprout out", with the same root as for the noun , , a "sprout", translated here as "The Branch" (Zechariah 3:8; Isaiah 4:2; Isaiah 11:1; Jeremiah 23:5; Jeremiah 33:15); referring to a lowly figure growing in obscurity "as a tender plant and a root out of a dry ground" (; cf. ).
 "He shall build the temple of the Lord": In the time of Zechariah, the temple was soon to be finished by Zerubbabel, to whom this had been promised (), not by Joshua the High Priest, but then a new temple is to be built from the foundation, of which the builder is to be "the foundation" (; ; ), as said, "on this rock I will build My Church" (); and in him "all the building, fitly framed together0, groweth unto an holy temple to the Lord" ().

Taiwan Postpones Key Decision On Investing in Chinese Market
By Jason DeanStaff Reporter of The Wall Street Journal
Dec. 14, 2001 12:01 am ET
TAIPEI, Taiwan -- Taiwan delayed a key decision on whether to allow its semiconductor industry to invest in China, highlighting the government's caution as it dismantles barriers to business relations with its longtime political rival.
The deliberations on semiconductor investments are being closely watched because the industry is one of the most advanced, and most prized, in Taiwan. Observers expect the government to lift the ban before long.


We are incredibly excited to reveal our latest project – a new name plus an updated brand identity and website for CA! Almost a year in the making, they rolled out their updated launch earlier this week and we couldn't be happier for them.
CA, formerly known as Commonwealth Autism, was founded in 1995 and works to impact capacity-development in human service systems through strategic public-private resource pairing, leadership, and collaboration. Operating throughout the state of Virginia, CA envisions a place where all individuals have the opportunity to be securely included across the broad spectrum of our community – through quality education, healthcare & housing access, civic activities, and employment.
In October of 2017, they approached us to discuss sharpening their overall branding strategy. As they had grown over the years, it was becoming harder for internal employees to understand and accurately convey all the services the organization now offers. So we set out to understand the depth of the confusion and create a more streamlined hierarchy the brand could operate under.
Through an extensive market research process, including surveying the employees and conducting internal/external interviews with stakeholders and members of the community, we discovered the brand confusion was being created at the root level – their name directly referenced Autism, but over the years the organization had grown to serve anyone with disabilities and behavioral challenges. They were solidly known as "the Autism people," with most of the community (and indeed, some employees) being completely unaware that newer services had been initiated. It quickly became clear that updating their name was imperative to help eliminate this barrier.
A few rounds of creative brainstorming and naming later, CA emerged as the winner. Besides already an affectionately-used acronym, the flexible combination of adjectives and actions that begin with the letters C and A was strategically developed to further tailor their messaging to different audiences and across channels.
A thorough brand assessment also uncovered a fractured hierarchy of subbrands, some of which were barely able to tie back to the organization. Part of their process over the years had been to "brand" each new initiative, creating a rather disorganized house-of-brands.
With the possibility of more services being added in the future as CA continues to grow, as well as possible expansion beyond Virginia's borders, our solution was to reorganize all of their services under three major brand units, broken down by the audiences CA works with.
At a state and local government level, Advocating Change now incorporates efforts to identify gaps, build awareness, and create a vision for improving systems.
The community level, Establishing Change, now comprises various service planning efforts, community events, information and resource assistance, and more.
Services offered to individuals, such as Children and Adult services and Shared Service Alliance, now fall under Innovating Change. These include the former Richmond House and The Founders Center.
In addition to the reorganization for CA's brand hierarchy, we also worked closely with them to update their Mission, Vision, and Values to more accurately represent their efforts today, while remaining flexible enough for future services to be added. The new tagline, Reimagining Human Service Systems, was crafted to reflect their high-level efforts at improving systems for everyone who needs it.
With the new brand hierarchy, strategy and messaging in place, we set out to update the visuals to match the level of sophistication CA exudes.
We knew that we wanted to keep the three arrows, both for continuity between the old brand and the new, as well as using them to highlight the primary brand units. The arrow tips have been deliberately designed to become more narrow as they drill down to more focused services. Being able to use the arrows by themselves became a specific focus of the visual identity, whether used as a background graphic, to call attention to important information, or to quickly connect the content to the brand unit being conveyed.
We also incorporated some additional vibrant colors, using a warm orange, yellow, and creating a gradient that can be used across all channels. Since the primary brand logo uses all of them, this gives their marketing collateral and items great flexibility for design. Whenever a particular brand unit is being communicated, the dominant color scheme is shown in the brand unit logo and materials.
The last step in the rebrand was to update their existing website, both with the new visuals and also the sharpened messaging. We made sure to include their comprehensive Resource Directory, as well as industry opportunities to get involved, informative blog posts, and a lot more.
Next up will be various collateral and marketing materials – we have big plans to help continue bringing this brand to life over the next several months!
The resulting brand identity is vibrant, fun, and flexible – designed to carry them for the next 25 years.

Q: Simple way to fetch data from local json in flutter? I'm new in flutter and I can't fetch data from local json file. I have this json files.
[
  {
    "facetsDistribution": {
      "authors": {
        "Carlo Collodi": 1,
        "Charles Perrault": 2
      },
      "language": {
        "EN": 5,
        "FR": 1
      },
      "tags": {}
    }
}
]

Now I want to display authors and language (key) in a ListView widget. Who can help me with simples code for this situation?

A: You need to convert JSON data into Dart object files which then you can display in your Flutter UI.
For starters you can do this by manually creating factory constructors for your classes as shown below:
class FacetsDistribution {
  final Authors authors;
  final Language language;

  FacetsDistribution({
    required this.authors,
    required this.language,
  });

  factory FacetsDistribution.fromJson(Map<String, dynamic> parsedJson) =>
      FacetsDistribution(
        authors:
            Authors.fromJson(parsedJson['authors'] as Map<String, dynamic>),
        language:
            Language.fromJson(parsedJson['language'] as Map<String, dynamic>),
      );
}

class Authors {
  final String value1;
  final String value2;

  Authors({
    required this.value1,
    required this.value2,
  });

  factory Authors.fromJson(Map<String, dynamic> parsedJson) => Authors(
        value1: parsedJson['Carlo Collodi'] as String,
        value2: parsedJson['Charles Perrault'] as String,
      );
}

class Language {
  final String value1;
  final String value2;

  Language({
    required this.value1,
    required this.value2,
  });

  factory Language.fromJson(Map<String, dynamic> parsedJson) => Language(
        value1: parsedJson['EN'] as String,
        value2: parsedJson['FR'] as String,
      );
}

factory className.fromJson constructors which I defined in every class serve the purpose of parsing json data we receive (having the structure of Map<String, dynamic>) and convert them into dart objects.
In those constructors we provide our key value value1: parsedJson['EN'] as an example and specify the datatype into which we want the data to be parsed as String at the end of line.
You also can automate all this using the json_serializable package. But I would recommend knowing how it works by doing it manually and then automating it later on.

Other resolutions approved on the closing day of the June 15-16 SBC annual meeting in Orlando, Fla., denounced a proposal to repeal the Pentagon's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy banning open service by gays and opposed the Employment Non-Discrimination Act pending in Congress. The law would expand federal employment discrimination law to prevent people from being fired because of their sexual orientation.
It is especially disheartening to see such a large group of Christians assert their acceptance of policies that not only allow, but even encourage discrimination. I prefer, instead, to fight on behalf of love and quality. Oddly enough it seems that the message that Jesus preached was one of love and equality too, not one of exclusivity, hatred, prejudice, and discrimination.

\section{Introduction: what is the thermal neutrino flux, and why is it important?}
The Sun is commonly recognized as a neutrino factory, being the most important source of neutrinos in the MeV range because of the nuclear reactions happening in its core \cite{Spiering:2012xe}. However, it also produces neutrinos through the so-called thermal processes. These reactions are triggered by the electromagnetic interaction of the particles constituting the plasma (electron, ions, photons), and produce a flux which is the dominant component in the keV energy range.
Unlike other stars, the energy loss due to thermal neutrinos in the Sun is small; nevertheless, the flux caused by the latter is important in different regards. On the one hand, it is a window into solar physics, bringing information about the metallicity of the Sun. On the other hand, the thermal flux is also important because it would be the background in direct detection experiments searching for the keV-mass sterile neutrino; the latter is a well motivated dark matter candidate. Its mass is big enough to evade the Tremaine-Gunn bound yet small enough to potentially help solving small scale controversies such as the cusp-core problem~\cite{Adhikari:2016bei}. Moreover, its existence would obviously be of paramount importance in elementary particle physics, because the right handed neutrino is a missing ingredient in the Standard Model updated to the fact that neutrinos have mass. Some recently proposed experiments include ideas such as using dysprosium targets \cite{Lasserre:2016eot}.

Our analysis improves the only detailed previous calculation of the thermal flux~\cite{Haxton:2000xb} in different regards. Most importantly, we include the very relevant bremmstrahlung process, correct a spurious resonance and include free-bound and bound-bound processes by taking advantage of detailed photon opacity calculations, inspired by the recent axion literature~\cite{Redondo:2013lna,Redondo:2013wwa}. The detailed analysis is presented in reference~\cite{Vitagliano:2017odj}; this manuscript, in which our findings are summarized, is organized as follows: in section~\ref{secabcd} we review the processes contributing to the thermal flux; in section~\ref{secflux} we show the total flux produced and we include flavor mixing; finally in section~\ref{sec:discussion} the conclusions are reported.

\section{How to compute the thermal neutrino flux: ABCD processes}\label{secabcd}
\begin{figure}\label{fig:processes}
\centering
\includegraphics[width=35pc]{pics/fig01.pdf}
\caption{Processes contributing to the thermal neutrino flux; figure from \cite{Vitagliano:2017odj} with permission of the authors.}
\end{figure}
Low-energy neutrinos are produced in the solar plasma by pair-production
processes, where nonrelativistic
electrons, whose velocities and spins are coupled to the
ambient electromagnetic fields, are the sources for neutrino pair emission. At
low energies, the relevant weak interactions are well described by an
effective four-fermion local interaction
\begin{equation}\label{eq:NC-interaction}
  {\mathcal L}_{\rm int}=\frac{G_{\rm F}}{\sqrt{2}}\,
  \bar\psi_e\gamma^\mu(C_{\rm V}-C_{\rm A}\gamma_5 )\psi_e\,
  \bar\psi_\nu\gamma_\mu(1-\gamma_5)\psi_\nu\,.
\end{equation} The effective coupling constants
for the vector and axial-vector interaction, $C_{\rm V}$ and $C_{\rm A}$, are different
for $\nu_e$ and the other flavors because of the possibility of the former to be produced through a $W$ boson, so that \begin{equation}
   C_{\rm V}^2=0.9263~~\hbox{for}~\nu_e\bar\nu_e
   \quad\hbox{and}\quad
   C_{\rm V}^2=0.0014~~\hbox{for}~\nu_{\mu,\tau}\bar\nu_{\mu,\tau}\,;
\end{equation}
thus the emitted flux is not equally distributed among the different flavors. The vector (res. axial) current is the source for electric (magnetic) dipole radiation caused by the time variation of the electron
velocity (spin). However in the nonrelativistic
limit there is no term due to interference, so any process implies a rate
proportional to $(a\, C_{\rm V}^2+b\,C_{\rm A}^2)G_{\rm F}^2$ with different coefficients $a$ and $b$ for different transitions; we will show an example below. The structure of the emission rates allows us to compare them to those for axions (axial current interaction) or hidden photons (vector current interaction), as well as to photon absorption rates.
The various neutrino flux contributions, shown in figure~1, can also be listed in a mnemonically helpful way as ABCD processes:
\begin{itemize}
\item \textbf{A}tomic deexcitation, including free-bound (fb, also known as electron capture or recombination) and bound-bound (bb) processes;
\item \textbf{B}remsstrahlung, including free-free (ff, atomic bremsstrahlung) and electron-electron (ee) interactions;
\item \textbf{C}ompton scattering;
\item Plasmon \textbf{d}ecay, i.e., the decay of a photon, which is kinematically allowed thanks to its dispersion relation in a medium.
\end{itemize}
As a paradigmatic example of the way one can compute the various contributions to the thermal flux, let us consider the bremsstrahlung process. The emission rate of neutrino pairs per unit of volume and time is
\begin{equation}\label{eq:brems-emission-1}
\dot n_{\nu}=n_Z \int\frac{d^3{\bf p}_1}{(2\pi)^3}\frac{d^3{\bf p}_2}{(2\pi)^3}
\frac{d^3{\bf k}_1}{(2\pi)^3}\frac{d^3{\bf k}_2}{(2\pi)^3}\,f_1(1-f_2)\,
\frac{\sum_{s_1,s_2}|\mathcal{M}|^2}{(2m_e)^2 2\omega_1 2\omega_2}\,
2\pi\delta(E_1-E_2-\omega)\,,
\end{equation}
where the sum is taken over the electron spins and $f_1({\bf p}_1)$ and $f_2({\bf p}_2)$ are the initial and
final-state electron occupation numbers, while $(\omega_1,{\bf k}_1)$ and $(\omega_2,{\bf k}_2)$ are the neutrino four-momenta. Here microscopic physics enters through the squared amplitude and thermal physics enters through the electron distribution function; the latter introduce an unavoidable uncertainty of about 10\% due to the choice of a specific solar model. Note that the delta function does not depend on the momentum transfer, because the mass of the ions turns out to be much bigger than other energy scales; this is known as ``long wavelength approximation''.

The latter allows us to express the neutrino pair emission rate of equation~(\ref{eq:brems-emission-1}) factorizing the term related to emitted radiation (the neutrino pairs) from the term describing the medium (thermal electrons
interacting with nuclei)
\begin{equation}\label{eq:brems-emission-2}
\dot n_{\nu}=n_Z n_e \frac{8\,Z^2 \alpha^2}{3}
\int\frac{d^3{\bf k}_1}{2\omega_1(2\pi)^3}\frac{d^3{\bf k}_2}{2\omega_2(2\pi)^3}
\(\frac{G_{\rm F}}{\sqrt{2}}\)^2
\frac{\(C_{\rm V}^2 \bar M_{\rm V}^{\mu\nu}+C_{\rm A}^2 \bar M_{\rm A}^{\mu\nu}\)N_{\mu\nu}}{\omega^4}
\,{\cal S}(\omega)\, ,
\end{equation}
with $\omega=\omega_1+\omega_2$ being the total energy of the neutrino pair. Moreover, we have used the possibility of factorizing the squared amplitude in a medium dependent tensor $\bar M$ and a radiation (in our case, neutrinos) tensor $N$, $\sum_{s_1,s_2}|\mathcal{M}|^2\propto \(C_{\rm V}^2 \bar M_{\rm V}^{\mu\nu}+C_{\rm A}^2 \bar M_{\rm A}^{\mu\nu}\)N_{\mu\nu}$. The term describing the medium statistical properties, known as response function, is
\begin{equation}\label{eq:brems-response-1}
{\cal S}(\omega)=\frac{(4\pi)^2}{(2m_e)^2}\frac{1}{n_e}
\int\frac{d^3{\bf p}_1}{(2\pi)^3}\frac{d^3{\bf p}_2}{(2\pi)^3}\,f_1(1-f_2)\,\frac{1}{{\bf q}^2}\,
2\pi\delta(E_1-E_2-\omega)\,,
\end{equation}
where ${\bf q}={\bf p}_1-{\bf p}_2$ is the momentum transfer in the electron-nucleus collision
mediated by the Coulomb field. Collective effects due to the presence of the plasma can modify $\cal S$; we have discussed such corrections, affecting several different processes and accounting for a 20\% modification of the flux, in reference~\cite{Vitagliano:2017odj}.

\end{figure}

Integration over neutrino emission angles gives the
neutrino emission spectrum by using $\omega_1=\omega_\nu$ and
$\omega_2=\omega-\omega_\nu$. We integrate over the anti-neutrino
energy to obtain the final expression
\begin{eqnarray}\label{eq:brems-emission-3}
  \frac{d\dot n_{\nu}}{d\omega_\nu}&=&n_Z n_e\,\frac{8\,Z^2 \alpha^2}{3}\,
  \(\frac{G_{\rm F}}{\sqrt{2}}\)^2\frac{1}{3\pi^4}
  \int_{\omega_\nu}^\infty d\omega\,{\cal S}(\omega)\,
  \frac{\omega_\nu^2(\omega-\omega_\nu)^2}{\omega^4}\nonumber\\[2ex]
&&\kern5em{}\times
  \Bigl[C_{\rm V}^2\(3\omega^2-2\omega\omega_\nu+2\omega_\nu^2\)
  +2C_{\rm A}^2\(3\omega^2-5\omega\omega_\nu+5\omega_\nu^2\)\Bigr]\,,
\end{eqnarray}
which is the rate of (anti)neutrino emission per unit volume, unit time,
and unit energy interval.

We have calculated the free-bound and bound-bound contribution exploiting the relation between neutrino pair emissivity and photon opacity. This relation is straightforwardly obtained in the Bremsstrahlung case, where
\begin{equation}\label{eq:brems-photon-emission-2}
  \frac{d\dot n_{\gamma}}{d\omega}=n_Z n_e\, \frac{8\,Z^2 \alpha^2}{3}\,
  \frac{\alpha}{\pi}\,\frac{{\cal S}(\omega)}{\omega}\,.
\end{equation}
By inverting equation~(\ref{eq:brems-photon-emission-2}) and exploiting the relation between emission and absorption rates due to thermal equilibrium
\begin{equation}
  \frac{d\dot n_{\gamma}}{d\omega}\big|_{\rm abs} =e^{\omega/T}\frac{d\dot n_{\gamma}}{d\omega}\, ,
\end{equation}
we obtain the response function in terms of the photon opacity. Photon opacities used in stellar structure calculations include already absorption in bound-free and bound-bound transitions by including electron level occupation probabilities and transition matrix elements for the relevant ions; an equivalent calculation from the scratch would require an enormous effort. The latter processes bring information about solar metallicity and are dominating at around 5 keV (figure~\ref{fig:awef}).

\section{Solar neutrino flux at Earth}\label{secflux}

To obtain the flux as it would be measured at Earth, we have to account for flavor oscillations. As is well known, neutrinos are produced by weak interactions as mixtures of three different mass eigenstates. Considering the long distance between the Sun and our planet, one can safely consider the neutrinos arriving at Earth as a flux of mass eigenstates.

The axial-current processes flux is straightforwardly obtained. Indeed, $C_{\rm A}^2$ is the same for electron and other flavor neutrinos, so we can read the flux of different mass-eigenstates by simply taking the spectrum as it is produced in the Sun.

On the other hand, vector-current processes produce almost exclusively electron neutrinos. One then needs to account for flavor oscillations. For neutrino energies in the keV range, the matter effect is negligible, so that we can treat the oscillations as if they were happening in vacuum. The scale of distances, with the Sun being much bigger than the oscillation length, and the Sun-Earth distance being bigger than both, allows us to consider the spectrum an incoherent mixture of mass eigenstates.
The final fluxes in terms of mass eigenstates are shown in figure~\ref{fig:summaryflux}.

\section{Discussion and summary}\label{sec:discussion}
We have computed the neutrino flux produced in the Sun through thermal processes, the dominant component of the flux at Earth in the keV energy range. Compared to the previous study~\cite{Haxton:2000xb}, we have included the bremsstrahlung processes, and we got rid of a spurious contribution (the

``plasmon pole'' contribution) which overshadowed other processes; moreover, we improved the free-bound and bound-bound calculation by using an opacity code.

The final result is shown in figure~\ref{fig:summaryflux}. The reasons for an experimental effort to detect keV neutrinos would be manifold: the signal of today is the background of tomorrow. First, this flux brings information about metallicity of the Sun. This feature has already been stressed in reference~\cite{Haxton:2000xb}, but it was stated that such an observation would have been impossible because of the plasmon pole contribution. Moreover, such a detector would be capable of directly detecting a promising dark matter candidate, the keV-mass sterile neutrino. The flux we have computed would be the background to be overcome to detect such a sterile neutrino. We think that our analysis will be useful to different communities, and hope it will help to shed light on both solar physics and fundamental particle physics.

Nation Calls For Return Of Theme Songs That Explain Show's Whole Deal
NEW YORK—Emphasizing that you'd have no idea who anyone was by just watching the opening credits, the U.S. populace called Tuesday for the return of sitcom theme songs that explain the show's whole deal. "We, the American public, demand to see a shot of the dad, a shot of the mom, a shot of the kids, and then a slow zoom-in on their home against a familiar city skyline every time the show starts," said TV viewer Ericka Hamels, who also urged networks to once again set the whole thing to fun, upbeat music with horns or surf-rock baselines that the characters could then dance to.
"Please, we beg of you—break it down for us. Where are these people from, how were they forced into this situation, and where are they going? But also, don't just stop there—these theme songs must then be updated every few years, so that when everyone ages, we still know who they are."
At press time, the nation's TV watchers amended their demands to include closing credit songs that restate the premise of the show and have characters wave goodbye until the next episode.

The Vada with a hole is a famous snack and breakfast of South India. Although it is best enjoyed when it is submerged in Sambar and eaten with Coconut chutney, I simply love it and can even enjoy it without the coconut chutney and Sambhar.
Soak urad dal overnight in water.
Start with grinding the dal to a fine paste in grinder.
If the dal paste is thick, you can add 3-4 tsp of water to lighten it a bit and grind again.
Finely chop the Green Chili so that they do not hurt while eating!
Take a bowl, add Ural dal paste. Add 1 Tbsp of water and mix well.
Add Salt, Soda, Green Chili and chopped Coriander leaves. Mix well.
Beat the mixture for atleast 4-5 min.. This will help make the Vada soft and fluffy.
After beating the mixture for 4-5 min., you will feel that the paste has expanded in size and has become light.
Take a frying pan and add enough Oil and heat it on high flame.
For making vada, apply water on your left hand palm. Pick a small portion from vada paste and keep on left palm.
Now dip right hand's index finger in water and make a hole in vada. Now carefully place this vada in frying pan.
Fry until it turns golden brown fro both the sides on medium flame.
Take out once it is golden brown.
Vada with a hole is ready to serve. Enjoy it with Sambhar or Cononut Chutney.
Vada is normally served with Sambar. You sub-merge it completely and then use a use to cut pieces and eat.
You can refrigerate vada's and re-heat in Microwave before serving.


A new regulation is barring passengers from bringing any electronics device larger than a cell phone into the cabin on non-stop flights from the Middle East to the U.S.
According to the regulation, the routes affected are direct flights to the U.S. from Amman in Jordan; Cairo in Egypt; Istanbul in Turkey; Riyadh and Jeddah in Saudi Arabia; Kuwait City in Kuwait; Doha in Qatar; Dubai and Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates; and Casablanca in Morocco.
The airlines that fly from these airports to the U.S. are Royal Jordanian, Egypt Air, Turkish Airlines, Saudia, Kuwait Airways, Qatar Airways, Emirates, Etihad and Royal Air Maroc.
Some media reports say it will only apply to non-stop flights, but some of the airlines fly from the Middle East to the U.S. via third airports.
Earlier this year, U.S. President Donald Trump also tried to impose bans aimed at six to seven Muslim-majority countries: Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen.
The latest directive is designed to address gaps in foreign airport security. As a note, cabin crew are excluded from the measures.

Nosh on the Town: Henry's in Berkeley
By Nosh editors April 16, 2018, 12 p.m. April 16, 2018

In May 2017, when Hotel Durant reopened as the Graduate Berkeley, its restaurant and bar, Henry's, was still closed. Although Henry's had a newly refinished floor, it had yet to be revamped like the rest of the historic 144-room hotel, which is located in the Southside neighborhood, a block from UC Berkeley. To the dismay of hotel guests, Cal students, faculty and alumni, along with other fans of the popular pub, they'd have to wait about a year for Henry's to be up and running once again.
The Graduate Berkeley
2600 Durant Ave. (near Bowditch), Berkeley
That day finally came last week, on April 12, when Henry's reopened with a whole new look and a whole new team. Leading the charge is chef Chris Kronner — with the help of Tartine Bakery, executive chefs Jeffrey Hayden and Justin Huffman, general manager Howie Correa and bar consultant Julian Cox — who has reinvented Henry's into a chic, yet comfortable and casual California bistro.
Kronner told Nosh that he intends for Henry's to be "welcoming to undergrads," and to still be a Golden Bear hangout on game days, but, he said, "We really just want it to be for everyone in the East Bay." With his new rendition of Henry's, Kronner said he is "hoping to add to the landscape" of Southside restaurants, which is lacking in contemporary California cuisine.
Although the chef is most famous for his namesake burger spot, KronnerBurger on Piedmont Avenue (which still remains closed from a kitchen fire), his fans, some of whom have followed him since his days at the Slow Club and Bar Tartine in San Francisco, know some of his best and most creative dishes are his salads and small plates that are made up of surprising combinations of the freshest of ingredients and are always beautifully composed. Expect more of these types of dishes from Kronner at Henry's.
Henry's bar features local beers, wine and cocktails.
The bar program at Henry's features local beers, wine and cocktails. The large roster of wines-by-the-glass has a heavy focus on offerings by local and natural winemakers. For indecisive cocktail lovers, there's the Bartender's Choice, a custom-made drink suited for a particular individual's taste.
The 100-seat dining room — separated into two distinct areas — was designed by Ashley Hildreth and Luke Foss, who gave the restaurant an understated blue hue, olive green banquettes, marble tables and other decorative choices that are intended to highlight the building's original 1920s detailing. General manager Correa likens the classic, but relaxed vibe to that of Tosca in San Francisco.
Henry's is open daily for dinner from 6-10 p.m., with two happy hours from 3-6 p.m. and 10 p.m.-1 a.m. Brunch is served on Fridays through Sundays, from 11 a.m.-3 p.m.
Nosh was invited for a complimentary at Henry's on opening night. Here's a look at what we ate.
House pickles and oil-cured fennel with garlic, Calabrian peppers and oregano ($6). The mix of vegetables included pickled red carrots, sunchokes and celery root.
Yellowtail crudo with radish vinaigrette, peanut, sesame and cayenne ($15). This dish had a strong Japanese flavor profile, with the grated radish mimicking the look of mentaiko (spicy cod roe) and the roasted sesame and cayenne mixture acting as shichimi togarashi.
Smoked carrot salad with blood orange, puffed grains, spiced nuts and chrysanthemum ($13). This was a favorite dish of the night, with its combination of cooked and raw, dried and roasted, sweet and savory and crispy and creamy elements. The cooked carrots had an incredible smoky flavor.
Roasted maitake mushrooms with fried herbs and mushroom caramel ($14). The mushroom caramel's combination of umami and sweet is unusual, but decidedly delicious.
Dry aged dairy beef sirloin with green garlic sauce au poivre ($25). Steak (and burgers) can be ordered either rare or medium, but not medium rare nor well done.
Henry's Burger ($14, $2 extra with cheese) comes topped with pickles, onion, shredded iceberg lettuce and Henry's sauce on a ultra-buttery Tartine sweet potato bun. Fans of the KronnerBurger will taste similarities, although Henry's Burger is made with a different blend of beef that is not 100% dry aged. It also comes with a side of fries!

Luke's rare battle with MS

At 17-years-old, Luke Perry is preparing for a challenge that has completely changed his life.
After six months of migraines, the Emu Plains resident – who is the type of person to just get on with things – knew something wasn't right.
"It all started from the migraines and I thought it just wasn't normal," he said.
"It just kept getting worse and I am not the type of person to go get it checked out, but I went and got it done and lucky I did."
Luke was recently diagnosed with relapsing remitting Multiple Sclerosis (MS).
A rare diagnosis for a teen, the news took the family by surprise with no family history of MS that they could come across.
"It was a complete shock – out of the blue," Luke's mum, Lisa Perry said.
"When he was told last Monday that it was definitely MS, we thought, OK let's see what we can do about it."
Luke Perry with his girlfriend Danielle Wooster and mother Lisa Perry
Affecting over 25,000 people in Australia, there is currently no known cure for MS, however there are a number of treatment options available to help manage symptoms and slow the disease.
The family has already started fundraising campaigns, including a GoFundMe page, to help raise $100,000 for an overseas stem cell treatment to give Luke the best chance at recovery at a time when he would otherwise be planning his future.
While remaining composed and positive, when asked if the diagnosis was hard, both Luke and his mother replied with a quiet "yes" in unison.
"It's a lot of thinking, you try to get your hopes up but you have other stuff going on behind your head," Luke said.
"But I have people here to help me, so I know it's going to be alright."
On Wednesday, Luke started his first steroid treatment for MS. It was the first step on a long journey ahead.
"He seems to be having some kind of flare-up at the moment, so the steroids help with that and will strengthen him, but the problem is it will wipe out his immune system," Ms Perry said.
"He's going to be in a bubble for a week or two."
While they have struggled to find other young Australians with MS, by making their story known, they hope that Luke could help someone in the future.
Luke's GoFundMe page is online at www.gofundme.com/LukesMSfund.

Honda proves that it can be business-like with all-new HR-V
At long last, Honda has awoken from its torpor and produced a car worthy of the brand badge, states Iain Robertson, its revised but ostensibly all-new HR-V tackling brand issues head-on, with a renewed sense of vigour and vital enthusiasm.
Honda has been under the cosh recently. Its announced departure from producing cars in the UK is a major business disappointment that is sure to hurt brand sales overall, especially from its most dedicated customers. Yet, while it admits that 'Brexit' was not behind its decision to reinforce its manufacturing stance in North America, it is also closing its production facility in Turkey. The fall-out in the UK will be serious, not least with employment levels in Swindon, Wiltshire.
From having been a total fan of Honda motorcars for many years, my own position altered significantly in recent times. The company has been behaving like a headless chicken for the best part of the past decade, seemingly unable to address its new car market with any success, or judicious definition. Recognising that its Legend, Accord and even FR-V models were bordering on being out-of-step with market demands, all of its manufacturing effort was being concentrated on both Civic and CR-V lines. However, as I have already stated about JLR products, if they do not meet market demands, they will not sell. Even its outgoing HR-V was like an 'afterthought', from a company that had led the market in decades past.
Completely unexpected, the company has launched a much-altered HR-V, its junior-league SUV, or more correctly crossover model. Featuring sportier styling and detailing, the new Honda HR-V is now the company's most sophisticated subcompact crossover model ever. Every single aspect of the car has been improved and it now benefits from enhanced driving dynamics and a wider choice of fuel-efficient and taxation-friendly engines that include 127 and 179bhp versions of the 1.5-litre petrol (non-turbo and turbo versions) and a 117bhp 1.6-litre 'clean' turbo-diesel. All engines are mated to a six-speed manual transmission as standard, while the petrols are also available with Honda's truly intelligent (7-speed, reactive) CVT automatic that works with and not against the driver.
Inside, the 2019 HR-V offers impressive interior space and, thanks to innovations like Honda's wonderful Magic Seat system, as featured on the Jazz hatchback, high levels of versatility. Higher grade soft-touch materials define the cabin as an optimal blend of new-found practicality and refinement, while also lifting its status several vital levels upwards. In overall design terms, the car combines the elegance and fluidity of a coupé, with the utility and durable strength of a crossover.
On higher-grade models, the alloy wheels have a new 17.0-inch diameter design, while headlights and rear lights are upgraded to full LED units. Noise insulation improves interior refinement and extensive aerodynamic developments below the car enhance vehicle stability at speed. Very few aspects of the previous generation model remain untouched.
The HR-V Sport variant features a dynamic styling pack, which comprises a slim front splitter, side skirts, wheel arch mouldings and a more aggressive rear bumper, all finished in black. It also includes black door mirror caps, dual exhaust pipes and 18.0-inch alloys. This version cracks 0-60mph in 7.5s (9.9s for the lower-powered petrol engine), with a top speed of 133mph, while emitting 151g/km CO2 and up to 42.2mpg (WLTP figures). If you desire fuel economy, the diesel returns up to 56.5mpg.
A Synaptic Damping Control (SDC) system is fitted to all models as standard and enhances both ride comfort and handling by modifying damping forces according to the road surface and driving conditions. In driving the car, you can feel it muscling sinuously over the road surface but it is never unsettling and retains a big percentage of control for the driver and comfort for occupants. Thanks to increased frame rigidity (up by over 30%), the HR-V delivers reassuring handling characteristics that whisk it to the top of the class. Its motion adaptive electric power-assisted steering system helps to minimise understeer, to result in exceptionally linear driving behaviour making HR-V one of the most confidence-inspiring cars in the crossover segment, especially if driven enthusiastically. In many respects, the new HR-V feels (in Sport trim) as dynamically gifted as the Honda CRX sporty coupe of the late-1980s, which proves a long-held suspicion that Honda was fearing its own past needlessly.
Its boot capacity of up to 470-litres with the rear seats upright, increases to 1,103-litres with the rear seats folded. Honda's renowned Magic Seat system serves to increase overall cabin practicality, its flip-up rear seat bases providing carpeted storage within the cabin, should it be required. When I first experienced the Magic Seat set-up in the original Honda Jazz, I postulated that Honda should factor it into any and all of its hatchback models. That the company did not, I believe, is much to its loss.
As you might imagine, the new HR-V is packed with electronic driver and safety aids, while connectivity levels are at an advanced level. With dramatic comfort improvements, with better seats, improved driving position and seemingly better space utilisation, Honda appears to be shaking-off the atrocious torpor that seemed to set-in in the period following its founder's passing in the early-1990s. The simple truth is that it seemed to be too readily diverted by its Type-R Civic model, which has never met true consumer expectations head-on but, from which, it could never hope to survive.
In just one model, this new HR-V, the company has shaken itself down and resurrected all that we once believed Honda was capable of. All of which combines to make the new HR-V one of the most complete examples of Honda's sometimes troubled model lineage. It still has an immense amount of work to do and I admit to having stated that Honda had fallen off my personal new car radar but the new HR-V serves to re-hike it into 'superbrand' status!
Honda needed to demonstrate that it had not lost its mojo and the comprehensively revised HR-V highlights that it has returned lock, stock and barrel. The new car goes on sale imminently and prices will be announced nearer to that time, along with preferential business deals.


"We now expect the monetary policy committee to cut rates by 0.25 percent to 5.75 percent on June 7," Bank of America Merrill Lynch said in a note. If done this will be the third straight reduction, taking the quantum of reduction in six months to a hefty 75 bps.
The Wall Street brokerage had earlier said the next cut may be either in June or in August, and had added the rate action hinges on the rains.
In his speech, Das also presented "out-of-the-box" ideas like questioning why a rate cut should be limited to multiples of 0.25 percent and why a central bank cannot cut by 0.35 percent, the brokerage said.
It can be noted that the RBI is mandated to contain inflation at 4 percent in the medium-term with a 2 percentage points leeway either side. Lower inflation in recent months has resulted in the bank cutting rates by 0.50 percent in 2019 so far. March inflation printed at 2.86 percent, marginally up from the previous month.
The brokerage said headline inflation will come in at 2.6 percent in April as food prices will continue to fall. Core inflation excluding food and fuel is also expectedly peaking off to 4.8 percent in April from 5.1 percent in January, it said.
"Fundamentals do not support higher inflation. Tight liquidity is reining in demand-side inflation," it added.
Soft commodity prices limit supply side inflation, while global rate pressures are fading with the US Fed turning dovish, it said.
The brokerage said there is a possibility of another cut in August as well but it will wait for the the monsoons before firming up its view.
Observing that the global financial crisis has exposed several limitations of conventional and unconventional monetary policy tools, Das had Friday said monetary economics in emerging markets needs a rethink.
This includes challenging the conventional wisdom of modern central banks to hike or reduce their interest rates by 25 basis points or multiples thereof, Das said in a special address delivered on the sidelines of the annual Spring Meetings of the IFM and the World Bank.
Das said the unconventional monetary policies of advanced economies have resulted in "risks and spillovers" for the emerging markets.

Q: htaccess rewrite rules same domain I have a url rewrite issue on the .htaccess file. There are 2 rules on the file:
rule 1 // When user open "example.com/test.php" on a browser then user will be redirected to "example.com/test".
htaccess rule: RewriteRule ^test.php(.*)$ http://example.com/test/$1 [r=301,nc]

rule 2 // When user will open "example.com/test" we will retrieve the content from "example.com/test.php".
htaccess rule: RewriteRule ^test/ test.php [NC]

Right now those rules are not working, maybe there is a conflict somewhere.
What rewrite rules i should use for the above conditions?

A: The two rules conflict with one an other. One writes test.php to test and the other writes test to test.php, which is likely to leave you in an infinite loop, either within the rewrite engine or between the browser and server depending on how you implement the rewrite.
To solve this I've used a condition to check the requested URI rather than the URI as its currently rewritten.
Try this:
RewriteRule ^test/$ test.php [NC]

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]+\ (/[^\ ]*)\.php[?\ ]
RewriteRule ^test\.php(.*)$ http://example.com/test/$1 [R=301,NC]

Couple of things to note that might also be factors:

*

*You hadn't escaped the dot in test.php in your first rewrite

*The Apache MultiViews directive can get in the way and do some rewriting before you get your hands on the on the URI in .htaccess. If you have file test.php, but a request is just made to http://example.com/test, then your htaccess will be working with test.php, not just test as you might expect.

*Browsers cache redirects which can make it difficult to diagnose problems


The costs to collect and freeze sperm vary, depending on number of specimens banked and the charges for the blood testing, but generally can be completed for less than $1,000. Storage fees also vary, depending on the storage facility, but are in the $275-500 per year range. ReproTech's sperm storage fees are the lowest of all the major facilities in the country.


In today's first reading we hear one of the key moments in the history of Christianity. One of those moments which seems to exist outside of time and space. To put it plainly, when you hear people say that the words of Jesus are eternal, they are thinking about a Gospel reading like today's.
If the Lord Jesus ever asked a loaded question... This. is. it.
What follows is the moment in which Simon the fisherman without knowing it and inspired by the Holy Spirit, became the first person ever to recognize Jesus as the Son of God, The Christ. And because of this, Peter (As he was known from this moment on) was given authority and responsibility to guide the Church of Jesus Christ with the promise that this Church will be so inspired and protected that not even the Gates of Hell will ever be able to prevail against it.
For the Catholic Church, today's Gospel reading is a very important one, because this is the moment in which the Lord established this Church as an institution which, for the last 2000 years, has survived division, schism, persecutions, oppression and especially the leadership of flawed, weak and even evil men, all of them successors of Simon-Peter and the apostles.
Now I'm the first one to admit that some parts of our history have been less than stellar. Some of the successors of Peter have not been the best examples of Christian life, in fact I can tell you some stories about some of these guys that would scandalize you to next week and back! However, I much rather point to a very interesting fact about the history of our Church: It really doesn't matter how bad our leaders, how misguided, petty or plain incompetent these men were; Or how evil the members of this Church have been, there has never been a period in the history of this planet, that the Church Jesus entrusted to Peter has not been vibrant, growing and expanding. Even today, in our country, when you hear of parishes closing and the very real future shortage of priest, if we look to parishes like St Michael's, our Church is strong and vibrant.
I think it is safe to say that the history of our church has been and will continue to be a sign of contradiction. How can a divine institution be composed of flawed and sinful human beings? How come a Church which houses the greatest treasures of human art and knowledge, is at the same time the largest charitable organization in the world? How come this Church surrounded by a world obsessed with materialism and self contentedness, continues to feed the most hungry, care for the most sick and dying and protect the most vulnerable of our brothers and sisters?
To me the biggest proof that the Church is divinely inspired and guided by God, the biggest proof that this is the Church Jesus Christ founded is the fact that in spite the brokenness and sin of us, her children, the Church still stands strong, and continues to grow.
In fact, when we think about the Church in all of its beauty and ugliness, and how God continues to act through this same Church it is very easy to bring to our mind the words of today's second reading. "Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How inscrutable are his judgments and how unsearchable his ways!" that have created and sustained a Church like this!...And all this happened because one very flawed man, Peter recognized Jesus as the son of God.


The first edition of the music and city culture festival Station Narva that took place in the easternmost Estonian city Narva on 21-23 September filled the border town with exciting music and art, public talks, and get-togethers uniting various generations and nationalities. About 3,000 people participated in the festival events.
The first Station Narva festival was part of the Estonia100 festivities.
On 21-22 September, the multiple stages of the grand industrial architecture complex Kreenholm Factory and the cozy bohemian milieu of Art Club Ro-Ro were home for music from 26 artists. The headliners of the festival were the post-punk and neo-psychedelia legend Echo & the Bunnymen, trip hop pioneer Tricky and techno producer Actress from the UK. There were Russian rising stars Grechka and Shortparis, Finnish space rock band Joensuu 1685, and Icelandic rapper Fever Dream, along dozen finest acts from Estonia, including avant-pop artist Mart Avi, house veterans Una Bomba 50+ and hiphop duo 12EEK Monkey, as well as Narva's own musical talent, from rapper Propazha to Alla Jakobuva Ensemble who performed with Estonian premier hip-hop artist Genka.
In addition to the concerts at Kreenholm and Ro-Ro, the whole city came alive with various interactions. Narva College hosted the Business and Innovation Day that brought together Estonian tech companies and Narva and Ida-Viru County entrepreneurs. The event also introduced Ida-Viru opportunities to e-residents establishing companies in Estonia or already operating here. There were presentations by the CEO of Telia in Estonia Robert Pajos, the managing director of e-Residency Kaspar Korjus and the development director of construction company Rand ja Tuulberg Janno Meriloo. Teet Kuusmik and Vadim Orlov from Ida-Viru County Industrial Areas Development Foundation gave an overview of industrial and business parks in the region. The second half of the day was focused on workshops organised by the e-Residency team, Telia TechGirls in cooperation with TechSisters, and digital media incubator DIGIX.
Narva Art Residency hosted an exhibition by the international artist duo Varvara & Mar, comics drawing workshop by Kaisa Leka and Christoffer Leka as well as BAZAR public talks where, among other topics, the current situation and future scenarios of Narva as a new and unexpected centre of attraction were discussed. True Narva-style breakfasts were served at VitaTiim centre and free day-time concerts took place on stages all around the city from Fama shopping centre to Estonia100 park and the rowing base. The city stages were marked with wood installations built by students of Ida-Viru Vocational Education Centre who were instructed by Narva city architect and a member of the Station Narva team Ivan Sergejev, and lectors of the centre Tarmo Kärdi and Nikolai Didarov.
The concerts at Kreenholm complex and Art Club Ro-Ro were attended by around 1,000 people on both days. In total, around 3,000 people, about half of them locals, visited various Station Narva events.
Station Narva festival ended on Sunday 23rd September with a family day together with celebrations of passing on the autumn cultural capital of Estonia and a public get-together meal at the long table on the Narva river promenade. The autumn cultural capital title ceremony at noon was followed by a performance by Genka and Alla Jakubova Ensemble. The afternoon continued with concerts by the Finnish "kids rock" band Jytäjyrsijät and Narva children ensemble Magic Land, and Comedy Estonia stand-up performance in three "local" languages. Fun and enlightening Language Café sessions took place in the gym of Narva Rowing Base, organised by the European Commission Representation in Estonia in co-operation with Tallinn University and foreign representations and cultural institutes active in Estonia.
On Monday 1st October, Narva, together with Virumaa (Ida-Viru County and Lääne-Viru County) submitted also its preliminary application to European Commission to become the European Capital on Culture in 2024.
The team of Station Narva thanks all the performers, visitors, partners and volunteers.
The first-ever Station Narva festival was part of the Estonia100 festivities. 2018 marks one hundred years since the proclamation of the Republic of Estonia. More information on the jubilee events is available at EV100.ee/en.
The festival was organised by Shiftworks in cooperation with the Narva team and several Narva enterprises and organisations: Art Club Ro-Ro, University of Tartu Narva College, Narva Art Residency, non-profit association EffectExpert, "Lamprey" festival, Comedy Estonia, BAZAR discussions day, and non-profit association Uus Sild.

I'd like to format each of the data cells such that a "check" icon is displayed if its value is greater than the value in the cell above/below it, an "!" icon if they are equal and an "x' icon if it is less.
I've been able to get the "check" and "x" to work for B2 using:

2 Issues:

*

*I don't seem to be able to specify that the "!" is displayed if the 2 values are equal. Or am I missing something?

*When I try to apply this rule to the entire range (B2:I2), it only compares the value of each successive cell in the range to $B$3:

I tried using "=B3" instead but got the error stating relative references were not valid. Is there any way to achieve what I'm trying to do or do I have to create a new rule for each cell?

And 1 more general question:

*

*which "Formula" is being referred to in the icon-sets rule dialog in the section for the "!" icon? And which formula is being referred to in the section for the "x" icon?
