Q: How can I add a specific object with javascript? I have an array like that :

When I find 'finished', I split it and I want to display for each string having 'Getting', his links having 'HTTP_404'
My code is :
 var input = ['urlGettingF', '├─BROKEN─aquaHTTP_404', '├─BROKEN─url1HTTP_404', 'ok', 'urlok', 'Finished',
               'urlGettingF2', '├─BROKEN─url1HTTP_404', '├─BROKEN─url21HTTP_404', 'Finished',
               'urlGettingF3', 'url3ok', 'ok', 'Finished',
               'urlGettingF4', 'url4ok', 'ok', 'Finished'
              ];

  var inputDecouped = [];
  let Test=[];
  let start = '';
  let pageGetting='';
  let liens =[];
  let pages=[];
  let ok= false;
  let reference = {};
  let grouped = {};
  // Fonction pour la découpe du input en plusieurs tableaux selon Finished
  function ArrayToMultipleArrays(array) {
    let result = [[]];
    let index = 0;
    array.forEach((x, i) => {
      //console.log(index, i, x)
      // On va mettre les tableaus selon la valeur de x
      result[index].push(x);
      if ((i + 1) < array.length && x.includes('Finished')) {
        index++;
        result[index] = [];
      }
    });
    return result
  }

  inputDecouped = ArrayToMultipleArrays(input);
  for(let i=0; i<inputDecouped.length; i++){
    for(let k = 0 ; k< inputDecouped[i].length; k++ ){
      if(inputDecouped[i][k].indexOf('Getting') > -1 || inputDecouped[i][k].indexOf('HTTP_404') > -1 ){
       if(inputDecouped[i][k].indexOf('Getting') > -1 ){
         start = inputDecouped[i][k];
         pageGetting = start;
         ok= true
         //pages.push(({id:i, page: inputDecouped[i][k]}));
       }
      else if(inputDecouped[i][k].indexOf('HTTP_404') > -1 ){
        if(ok === true){
          liens=[];
          ok = false;
        }
        liens.push(inputDecouped[i][k]);
       }
      }
   }

       Test.push(({page:pageGetting, lien: liens}));

  }

  console.log(Test);

when I run it, I get :

But, I want the result will be :
[[object Object] {
  lien: ["├─BROKEN─aquaHTTP_404", "├─BROKEN─url1HTTP_404"],
  page: "urlGettingF"
}, [object Object] {
  lien: ["├─BROKEN─url1HTTP_404", "├─BROKEN─url21HTTP_404"],
  page: "urlGettingF2"
}]

My jsbin is : https://jsbin.com/loqagekiji/edit?js,console
How can I fix it ?

A: I tried your jsbin and got your desired results by replacing
Test.push(({page:pageGetting, lien: liens}));

with
if (!ok) {
  Test.push(({page:pageGetting, lien: liens}));
}

A: This might help.

var input = ['urlGettingF', '├─BROKEN─aquaHTTP_404', '├─BROKEN─url1HTTP_404', 'ok', 'urlok', 'Finished', 'urlGettingF2', '├─BROKEN─url1HTTP_404', '├─BROKEN─url21HTTP_404', 'Finished', 'urlGettingF3', 'url3ok', 'ok', 'Finished', 'urlGettingF4', 'url4ok', 'ok', 'Finished'];

let record = []
const result = input.reduce((p, c) =>
    (((/^Finished$/.test(c) && /HTTP_404/.test(record[1]))
        ? ((p = [...p, { lien: [record[1], record[2]], page: record[0] }]), (record = []))
        : (record.push(c))),
     p),[])
console.log(result)

Home Articulate The Diary of a Pseudo-doctor Life as a Drug. | PseudoDr.
Life as a Drug. | PseudoDr.
life is a drug - Is it really?!
I see you found your way back here!!:) PseudoDr. Reporting for duty. Roger that.
So let's -for a moment- imagine that I am a deeply profound and poetic person. (IMAGINE, only for a moment – it'll be over soon, lol) now that you have imagined this, come with me on this mental escapade and picture life as a drug.
And no, potheads, I don't mean just weed, cocaine and those that keep NACADA in the job market; but including Fluconazole, Ritonavir, Spironolactone, Pegvisomant, Pergolide (I shall continue unleashing these jargon for the sole purpose of showing off and make you feel inferior 🙂 muhahaha) where was I? Oh Bromocriptine, Mifepristone, Propofol, Scopolamine, Vancuronium, Etomidate, Warfarin- Okay that's enough- I promise I'm not running out, or am I? 🙂 I digress.
Some bit of Pharmacology (study of drugs) 101 – most drugs, by way of action, once in the body find their way to the receptor (almost like the door to a key <the drug>) where once it interacts it either stops something or activates something that goes a long way in helping you feel better.
First is what I call the Principle – each situation, scenario, dilemma when carefully dissected there almost always is the underlying principle, the fundamental truth, the reasoning behind it all. For example, a simple act of you lending out, say money, to a friend has a particular reasoning for you- it could be that you're hoping the day you would need money, you'd have someone to go to or that you don't like seeing others suffer where you can help, that is, no one should be in need when you have.
The principle behind the first would be a "scratch my back, I scratch yours" while the second would be an ujamaa sort of policy. For the first the truth would be mutual benefit and the second would be selflessness. Catch the drift?
The second is the Scene behind the scene- terribly close to the Principle- this is where one discerns or sees beyond the face value. Going beyond what is presented, whether a circumstance or a problem to see what is really happening. It is hearing the implied words rather than simply the spoken words.
Life is as such- there is always the nine tenths of the iceberg hidden and the fundamental truth about someone from their behaviours or about something from its working principle.
It all works at only a molecular level, singly. So however many times you will hear it said that no man is an island (an indisputable fact) no-one can move your hands for you or your feet. Effort requires, often if not always, individual input. Play your part.
Part B – Dosage. Too much of a drug is toxic to your system and too little of a drug is ineffective. Similarly, weighting yourself with more problems than you can handle is as destructive as excessive fun. Conversely, if you ignore, bury your head in the sand as it were to the problems you face is as detrimental as living a drab life with no enjoyment. None of the situations painted give wholesome living. It is said that Moderation is the key to longevity.
P.S. now do you believe that I really am in medical school.

I mean, yeah, the accent, but look at how many other characters have accents on that show. Plus...Apu's probably got it best out all of Springfield. Has a business, married a beautiful intelligent woman, kids, and is one of the smartest characters on the show.
He's arguably the most successful character on the show.
Personally, I think we should be banning Lisa Simpsons from the show based on being horribly and annoying.
The Apu controversy has been around for several years and they took him off the show a few months back.
But yeah, The Simpsons has always had caricatures. Flanders, Grounds-keeper Willy, Bee Man, etc. People are stupidly sensitive these days so I'm not surprised Apu left the show.
Did you watch "the problem with apu"? The issue isn't Apu the character specifically but the fact he was basically the only Indian character on TV and for a lot of people was their only exposure to Indians in the early 90s. Because of this a lot of racist, especially young up and coming racist decided to use "thank you come again!" As a way to mock Indians and bully young 1st generation indians. In the documentary a bunch of Indian comedians talk about that.
I think a large part of it is, how is the stereotype character accepted by members of the group they are stereotyping?
For example, the Scottish love Groundskeeper Willie. Australia loves the episode "Bart Vs. Australia."
What do Indians, or Indian-Americans, think of Apu? I'm unsure.
They cover that in the documentary. A lot of the comedians talk about how a lot of their parents liked Apu but they didn't because he was used to mock them which is something their parents really didn't experience.
I figured they could just have Apu speak without an accent and it would clear things up.
The street shitting Hindu that had a problem with it should be killed.

The Ibbenese are a people who live on the island nation Ibben,[1] composed of the islands Ib and Far Ib, several smaller islands, and the small foothold on the northern shore of Essos ruled by the colony located at New Ibbish.[2]
The Ibbenese are frequently referred to as "the men of Ib"[3][4][5][6][1] after Ibben's largest island,[2] which is home to most of the Ibbenese.[7]
The Ibbenese are considered by maesters to be different from the other races of mankind. They are a heavy, broad-shouldered, and broad-chested people. The Ibbenese are short in stature, seldom reaching a height more than five and a half feet. Their arms are long, while their legs are short and thick. They have sloping brows with heavy ridges, small sunken eyes, great square teeth, and massive jaws.[1]
The Ibbenese have the most body hair of all known peoples in the known world.[1] Beneath their pale skins run dark blue veins, but covering their skin is dark and wiry hair. Ibbenese men have dark, wiry hair covering their arms, legs, chests, and backs, while Ibbenese women commonly have coarse dark hair, even on the upper lip.[1] A myth falsely claims that Ibbenese women have six breasts.[1] The Red Book states many Ibbenese women sold into slavery were deemed too ugly to serve as bed slaves and too savage to use as field hands. As such, many enslaved Ibbenese women ended their days in the fighting pits of Meereen, Yunkai, and Astapor.[1]
Although they can reproduce with the people of other lands, the children Ibbenese men father upon the women of other lands are frequently malformed and always sterile, while Ibbenese women, when impregnated by men from other lands, birth only stillbirths and monstrosities.[1] Such couplings are uncommon, however.[1] Some scholars have speculated that certain groups have some Ibbenese blood in their heritage, such as the Skagosi.[8]
Maester Yandel reports the Ibbenese to be a taciturn but cunning folk, composed of skilled craftsmen, able hunters and trackers, and doughty warriors.[1] The Ibbenese speak their own language, which has been described as grunting and rasping.[1][9]
The Ibbenese are a suspicious people, and Ibbenese of old believed that a man would be cursed if he ventured inland away from the sound of the sea.[4] Visitors from foreign lands are restricted to the harbor precincts of the Port of Ibben. They are only allowed to venture beyond the city in the company of an Ibbenese host, but such invitations are rarely made.[1] The Ibbenese who live in the woods and mountains of Ibben are even more suspicious of strangers. These foresters, goatherds, and miners prefer to make their homes in caves or houses of grey stone which they dig into the earth. The inland Ibbenese do not live in towns, instead preferring to dwell in solitary. They only gather for weddings, burials, and worship.[1]
Despite their suspicions, the Ibbenese who live at the shores are a venturesome people. Fishermen travel the northern seas in search of cod, herring, whitefish, and eel. Most famously are the Ibbenese whalers whose big-bellied ships are a common sight in ports all over the world.[1] Ibbenese ships are renowned for their strength, as they are built to withstand any storm of the largest leviathans they might meet.[1] The Ibbenese are fond of chewing blubber.[7]
The ferociously-strong Ibbenese excel over Westerosi at their favorite sport, wrestling.[1] Some Ibbenese are fond of carrying axes into battle,[10] as well as shaggy brown shields.[11][12] Some Ibbenese have found employ as sellswords in the Brave Companions.[11]
There is evidence of Ibbenese settlements on the Axe, the Lorathi isles, and along the shores of the Bitterweed Bay, the Bay of Tusks, Leviathan Sound, and the Thousand Islands. History also tells of several Ibbenese attempts to seize the mouth of the Sarne which brought them into war with the Sarnori cities Saath and Sarys.[1]
At its greatest extent, the Ibbenese foothold on Essos was as large as Ib itself and far richer. More and more Ibbenese crossed over from the isles to make their fortune on the mainland, cutting down trees, plowing land, damming the rivers, and mining the hills. Some two hunded years ago, however, the Dothraki destroyed the Ibbenese settlements on the mainland, aside from the small colony of New Ibbish.[1]
Previously ruled by God-Kings at the Port of Ibben, the Ibbenese are now ruled by the Shadow Council.[1]
Hairy men from the Port of Ibben are among the guests who attend the wedding of Daenerys Targaryen and Khal Drogo.[13]
Catelyn Stark sees an Ibbenese whaling ship when Storm Dancer arrives at King's Landing.[14]
Upon returning home to Pyke, Theon Greyjoy spies an Ibbenese cog among the ships docked at Lordsport. After going ashore, he observes Ibbenese sailors.[15]
After making arrangements for Shae to be taken care of at a manse near the Iron Gate in King's Landing, among those hired by Varys to guard her are two Ibbenese that are fond of one another, according to Tyrion Lannister.[16]
Arya Stark observes several Ibbenese sellswords arrive at Harrenhal as part of a mercenary group, the Brave Companions.[11]
An Ibbenese axe-man is among a group of foragers that Nymeria slaughters in the riverlands.[17] Carrying shaggy brown shields, several Ibbenese Brave Companions are encountered by the brotherhood without banners during the battle at the burning septry.[12]
Varys reports to the small council that a kraken off the Fingers attacked an Ibbenese whaler and pulled it under.[18]
Ben Plumm, a sellsword from the Second Sons of mixed ancestry, claims to have a half-Ibbenese grandmother.[19]
Archmaester Marwyn is said to keep company with hairy Ibbenese.[20]
Togg Joth, an Ibbenese member of the Brave Companions, is currently on the run as one of the last known survivors of the disbanded sellsword company.[21]
Arya sells her oysters on the decks of many ships who have made port in Ragman's Harbor at Braavos, including Ibbenese ships.[22] Arya befriends Assadora of Ibben at the Happy Port.[22]
At Maidenpool, a harpooner on an Ibbenese whaler offers to buy Podrick Payne from Brienne of Tarth.[23]
Prince Quentyn Martell spots Ibbenese at the Merchant's House in Volantis.[24]
Casso Mogat, the captain of Merry Midwife, is said to be the son of a Sisterton whore and an Ibbenese whaler.[25]
An Ibbenese whaler travelling in the Bay of Seals is commandeered by the commander of Eastwatch-by-the-Sea, Cotter Pyke, on the orders of Lord Commander Jon Snow.[26]

Lower, Arthur Reginald Marsden
Arthur Reginald Marsden Lower, historian (b at Barrie, Ont 12 Aug 1889; d at Kingston, Ont 7 Jan 1988). Professor at Wesley College, Winnipeg (1929-47), and Douglas Professor of Canadian History at Queen's University, Kingston (1947-59), Lower, the son of English immigrants, was the first of his family to attend university (U of T, Harvard). His first books, The Trade in Square Timber (1932), Settlement and the Forest Frontier in Eastern Canada (1936) and The North American Assault on the Canadian Forest (1938), detailed the role of the forest in Canadian development, following the staple thesis elaborated by Harold Innis.
In Colony to Nation (1946), written during WWII, Lower sought a basis for a sense of national community which might unite French and English Canadians. Recipient of the Governor General's Award (1946, 1954), the Tyrrell Medal of the Royal Society of Canada (1947), and a Companion of the Order of Canada (1968), Lower was also an honorary chief of the Ojibwa; his native name, Kikugaygawbigoneden, meant "The Recorder of His People's Tradition."

It has come time again to do a little preventative maintenance on our UTIPS server. We need to delete or purge the test results from all of the tests that you administered in UTIPS over the last year.
Please be assured that this process will not delete tests, classes or students in UTIPS – only test results. If you feel that you may have a need for this data in the future, you can take a few minutes to save this information for your reference. If you feel that you will not need these test scores, you are not required to archive this information, and you can stop reading this message if you'd like.
Head to http://www.utips.sedck12.org and log into your UTIPS account.
Hover your mouse over the 'Reports' menu in the black UTIPS menu, and click 'All Tests'. This will show you a list of all of your test scores taken in the time frame listed in the drop-down menu after 'Show All Tests Posted:'. By default, you are probably only looking at tests given today.
Change the 'Show All Tests Posted:' option to 'All Scores', and UTIPS will show you all of the tests taken by your students over the past year.
Click on an assessment that you'd like to save the scores for. You can see how many times it was taken to the right.
Print Option: Simply wait for the small test score window to refresh with a printable version (PDF). Once this has happened, click the print or printer icon within the mini window to print off those scores – Don't use the File –> Print option for your web browser.
Export Option: Clicking this option will immediately download a .csv file that Excel or Google Spreadsheets can open and view, create charts, etc. To access the file, go to the location where your downloaded files are normally saved – usually your Downloads folder or on the computer Desktop. From there, you can rename (I highly recommend this) this file to a name that makes sense to you, and save it with the other files for that unit or in a folder for your test scores.
To save additional test scores, simply head back to 'Reports –> All Scores' and repeat steps 5 and 6.
I hope that these instructions are clear and easy to follow. If you still have questions, please don't hesitate to ask a question – just email me at clint@sedck12.org.

Presentations and speeches are listed where the text or slide pack is available via links to other websites. I have gone back here to September 2013. Speeches from prior dates are all still available on the Bank of England and BIS websites.
I presented a keynote speech at a SUERF event in London on Monetary Policy Normalisation: Scenarios and Risks. The speech set out reasons why central bank balance sheets may not be scaled back to previous levels and how operational parameters surrounding asset purchases and lending arrangements could be set so as to enable central banks to actively affect prudential liquidity metrics, thus influencing financial stability, without compromising their monetary policy objectives.
In November 2016 I was asked by the Japanese Financial News Agency to make a presentation to a seminar for senior Japanese businessmen (yes, nearly all men) about the consequences for London of UK Exit from the EU.

Revisiting Yamuna
Yamuna was already dead when I met her seven years ago, in the words of several activist and environmental groups, but they're still trying to revive her. It hasn't worked yet.
Yamuna is both a Hindu goddess and a major river that flows through India's capital, a metropolitan area of tens of millions of people, before joining the Ganges. Yamuna is sacred and essential to all of those lives in one way or another. Their drinking water comes from her. They grow food with her help. They worship alongside her. They wash clothes with her water or pick through her shores and beneath her surface for a living. They destroy her, ecologically speaking, with their raw industrial and human waste on a colossal scale. And they endure her revenge in the form of lost fish and other aquatic life, infectious and waterborne disease and toxic metal exposure.
I previously posted on here a photojournalism project I did in college about the river and its paradoxes. This week I revisited my archive for that project for the first time since 2012. It turns out I forgot about a few pictures that aren't too bad, so I thought I'd share some with you. But it's also a chance to see if anything has improved in India's core. The answer seems to be mostly no.
In just the last couple of weeks, poisonous foam coated Yamuna's surface during a religious festival. And earlier this year, a project to capture and treat the huge amount of sewage flowing into the river missed its latest deadline. That project is the third of its kind in more than 20 years.
Everyone knows the state the river's in. But because of alleged corruption and incompetence, the inability of several governments to work together, indifference among parts of the public and the country's colonized past, it just doesn't get better. Yamuna still runs black, she's still short on life-giving oxygen but rich in lead and iron, she's still dead.
I also wonder how the people I met back then are doing. Dozens of locals put up with a random American college student who came out of nowhere to ask about their stories. Banny Miya and his family and Babi Devi and hers grew crops beside the river. Seventeen-year-old Saddam and his family washed clothes and linens in it, and he hoped to become an engineer. Gauri Singh, a young mother, angrily said nothing changes. I might never find out what came next for them.
As for the Yamuna, it's only one of many environmental issues for India; Delhi's air has made recent headlines for being some of the most polluted and dangerous in the world. We'll see if Yamuna Action Plan Phase III accomplishes what phases I and II couldn't. There are a few small reasons for optimism, such as some recent adjustments to religious ceremonies that might've cut down on one form of pollution.
Regardless, India's struggles aren't just some far-off problem. We all share this planet's atmosphere and ocean. And our own country knows a little something about arguing over environmental disaster. Yamuna and other natural places have something to teach all of us.

Yamuna: India's Fallen Goddess
A short preface: I took this picture in May 2012 along the Yamuna River in northern India. About a dozen other University of Nebraska-Lincoln students and I had the opportunity to go to New Delhi and the surrounding area for several weeks, each of us working on our own photo, video and text project. It's an experience I have yet to match. The university planned to publish our stories, but they've taken so long about it that they might have forgotten. I'm posting it myself. I suspect what I found still holds true, and the story isn't doing any good sitting on my computer.
I've long had an intense interest in the environment, so I wrote about water. Where the picture above was taken, the Yamuna flows shallow and clean; in fact, it reminded me of Nebraska's Platte. The river changes dramatically 80 miles downstream, however, when it encounters the capital. That's where my story begins. It's a long one, but you can at least look at the pictures, if you like.
The sun blasted down on New Delhi, India's capital, its light filtered by dust in the ashen sky. May brought the end of the dry season – a month of no rain and daily temperatures of 110 degrees Fahrenheit and up.
Traffic honked and shouted its way across the Old Iron Bridge. Underneath drifted the black, opaque water of the Yamuna River, its glass-smooth surface broken by inch-wide bubbles every few feet. The water's odor, like burned rubber, penetrated dust and traffic to reach nostrils two blocks away.
Without warning, something larger broke through the water: 24-year-old Chuman Miya surfaced for air, his face slick with the river's oil and his shoulders invisible just inches below the surface. His hands appeared and sorted through a clump of sludge before tossing it away – nothing this time.
Miya glanced over at the island surrounding the bridge's pillar, a patch of dirt serving as base camp for the dozen other boys and men who came to swim, boat and fish with magnets in search of a few dollars of coins or sellable scraps all day, every day. Their eyes were yellowed and their hands blackened by the river, as if they dug up coal instead of metal.
A River of Life and Death
The Yamuna swoops through northern India, linking Himalayan glaciers to the Ganges River, India's holiest river and one of the world's largest. About one-third of the way down its 850-mile length, the Yamuna crosses diagonally through New Delhi, a metropolis of more than 20 million people.
The Yamuna shares its name with the sister of the Hindu god of death, a prominent figure in ancient Hindu stories. To devout Indians, the river and the goddess are one. Every few minutes, another pilgrim tosses in marigold garlands, god figures, family pictures, sequined cloth or rupee coins – a Hindu tradition to secure a blessing from the goddess. Even Muslims toss in their own coins for luck.
Today, the sister of death is dying. Religious tokens aren't the only human addition to her waters. According to the New Delhi government, one billion gallons of sewage are piped into the river daily, joining industrial wastewater, chemicals and heavy metals like lead and mercury. The toxic river stands as a monument to India's explosive population growth and industrial progress during the past several decades as the county works to exit the developing world. Before 2030, the UN expects India to house 1.5 billion people in one-third the area of the U.S.
After the Yamuna enters the city, "(pollution) is all the river has," said Nitya Jacob, programme director for water at the Delhi-based Center for Science and Environment (CSE), which focuses on environmental research and related policy.
There's no fresh water, despite decades and billions of rupees in cleanup efforts – only a "cocktail" of sewage and chemistry devoid of life remains, Jacob said.
"The river is dead," said Sunita Narain, CSE's director, in a 2007 interview with Fortune Magazine. "It just has not been officially cremated."
Despite the dire diagnosis, residents of riverside neighborhoods, slums and farms continue to make their living from the river, and the city relies on it for the water supply of millions. This dependence is one piece of Yamuna's many ironies: Indians worship the river as a goddess for help, but they are steadily killing it. Many depend on it for their livelihoods, but the Yamuna is hurting them back.
From River to Plate
Further down the east bank from the iron bridge, families maintained pens of cattle and football field-sized plots of green beans, chilies and the knobby, bright green karela gourds. Birds chirped; traffic and trains still rumbled and honked. A creek flowed from the farms to the Yamuna infused with dust, cow manure and pesticides.
In a farmer's home with a thatched roof and tarp walls, a farmer and his customer were arguing.
Raj Rani, a young woman in a turquoise and pink sari, wagged a finger at the leathery, deeply lined face of Banny Miya (no relation to Chuman), wielding a cucumber in her other hand. Several pounds of squash and karela were bundled on the dirt floor, their price still undecided.
The haggling increased in intensity; neither looked like backing down. Finally, Rani handed over one 500-rupee note, her lips clamped together.
Banny and his family – a wife, son and three daughters – had grown and harvested the vegetables by hand on a farm they'd leased for the year for 12,000 rupees, or about $240. Its edge bumped against the Yamuna's banks. The kids didn't go to school because the family couldn't afford it – not that they wanted to anyway, they said.
Rani and one other customer sustained the Miya farming business, which in turn sustained Rani's own – she took the vegetables to sell at a market at the crux of the bridge and the bustling Swami Ganesh Datt Road.
Banny's family sometimes used the river's inky contents for their farm; neither Rani nor the family saw that as a problem. But they wouldn't touch the river themselves, and Banny admitted he couldn't grow watermelons here because of it.
A two-year study from the Delhi-based Energy and Resources Institute found unsafe levels of lead, mercury, chromium and other heavy metals in the river, the soil nearby and the vegetables grown there. UNICEF sponsored the study, which concluded in 2012.
In some locations, mercury levels were 200 times safe limits, the study found. Such heavy metals are known to damage the development and function of almost every body system, particularly the nervous system and brain, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. One-fifth of the children near the river, the energy institute concluded, showed unsafe blood lead levels.
Irrigating with Yamuna water was no concern for Rani and the other farmers, market vendors and shoppers.
"Everyone likes these vegetables," Rani said. "That's why I'm here."
Miya was about 60 years old, he said, and while his permanent home was now miles to the northeast, he was born nearby, across the river.
He hadn't returned out of a Hindu's religious devotion to the river; Banny and his family were Muslim. But that didn't mean they didn't have a certain regard for Yamuna.
"Both religions have the same respect for the river," he said. "They pray at the river and throw stuff in. We don't do it that way; we pray to it, but differently" – mainly by throwing less in.
Any farmer along the Yamuna must respect the river, because a crop's fate rests in its annual temper.
In June and July, warm air from the Indian Ocean collides with the Himalayas, unleashing one of the world's most powerful monsoons. Everything around the old bridge will likely flood, recharging the fields with silt and nutrients, but also with heavy metals and other contaminants.
Babi Devi, a middle-aged woman whose farm near the bridge ran next to the candy- striped Sai Baba Temple, lost her crop for the past three years to those floods.
"Hopefully not this year," she said as she shuffled down rows of chili plants.
Stooping, Devi patted bean seeds into the dirt with a trowel, her fingers stained red from the M&M-sized seeds. Move a foot forward, another pat. Her red bangles jingled with each tap, keeping a steady beat across the field. The beat paused now and then as Devi tucked her headscarf back into the front of her dress.
While Banny irrigated from the Yamuna sparingly, Devi regularly pumped its water into shallow canals around her square plots. She recognized the stain of pollution but, like the others, was unconcerned by watering food with the water.
"Even with that, our respect and sense of devotion is always the same," Devi said, mentioning the regular gatherings of farmers at the temple and their subsequent offerings of fruits and other items, which are thrown into the water "to please the river." "It has nothing to do with its cleanliness," she said.
Later at the Miya household, Hajara Miya, the mother, prepared dinner as the hazy sky darkened. She poked a dried plant stalk at the tiny earthen oven's crackling fire. A round silver pot held boiling potatoes above it.
Her teenage daughter Shara squatted nearby, mixing flour and water in a wide, shallow bowl and squeezing the dough with her fingers. Shara glanced at her mother with a bashful smile every few minutes for pointers. Her younger sister hid in the back of the hut where painted flowers adorned the earthen walls.
Hajara's husband sat outside, on the other side of a blue tarp from her. He said little, smoking a cigarette and watching the bridge's always-noisy traffic go by. The Yamuna's surface, dark in the falling light, was just visible over the banks 50 yards behind him.
Hajara had never seen the Yamuna clean, but her husband had.
"I could drink it right out of my hands," Banny said, cupping his hands together to demonstrate. "Nowadays, all of the (sewage) drains are going to the river. That's totally spoiling it."
"The water I used to drink I can't go near now," he said, shaking his head. "It's painful."
About 10 miles downstream from the Old Iron Bridge, 17-year-old Saddam Khatom swung a sudsy pair of jeans against the inclined concrete bank of a Yamuna off-shoot canal. The staccato smacks rang out like gunshots. He stood ankle-deep in the gray water surrounded by ripples, which rocked a few scraps of trash and buoyant plants that drifted past.
Saddam paused between blows, kneading the cloth against the cement and squeezing bleach and Fena-brand soap bubbles from the cloth between his fingers. The liquid trickled between his feet back to the river. He wore a dark orange plaid shirt and black slacks, some acne dotted his face, and his eyes were bright.
Voices sounded from overhead. He laughed softly, squinting up the bank in the morning glare at his aunt and his mother, Momina, who worked a soup-like mixture of cloth, water and soap in a bucket. Her tongue occasionally poked out in concentration as she worked. The bunch often talked about other family members and plans for the future, they said, but at this moment teasing Saddam about getting a girlfriend soon was more fun.
Several families of clothes-washers, or dhobi wallahs in Hindi, haul formless blobs of saris, bed sheets and other garments from their homes to the Yamuna for a thorough scrubbing. Washing machines are an inaccessible luxury. Kids joined their parents, aunts and uncles in the work, sometimes splashing each other or swinging jeans at each other's faces.
To get the most dust out, the dhobi wallahs said, they smack the shirt or pair of jeans against the concrete banks, sounding a drumbeat that mixes with grunts of effort.
"We're content to work here," said Firoja Khatom, Saddam's aunt, echoing most of the other parents. "We can't make our living if we don't wash these clothes in the river."
Kids sometimes jumped into the water, but most of the adults bathed at home, wary of skin sores and disease, Saddam said.
Saddam shared their caution but not their contentedness. His father, Ishaq, had worked this job for 25 years; his mother, 16. Saddam wanted to be a civil engineer and do "something famous."
"If I continue this job, I'll just be stuck like my parents," he said in his family's two-room home. Outside the door was a dusty alley of Shaheen Bagh, a cluster of apartment buildings within walking distance of the canal. "It's only enough for us to live, to fulfill our daily needs. So life is just going like this. I want something different."
He spoke as he ironed clothes on a table in the main room – where the family also slept – stretching and folding with precise, quick movements. An old fan bolted to the ceiling squeaked a foot above his head. Most days are spent ironing.
The TV set in the corner of two worn, pink walls displayed an episode of "Man vs. Wild," the favorite show of Mohammed Saif, an 8-year-old neighbor who flitted in and out of the Khatom door like an adopted little brother.
Momina, Saddam's mother, worked at another table outside against the front wall, chatting and laughing with passing neighbors and the shopkeepers across the street. Bicycle vendors called out pani – water – in distorted, stretched-out syllables. Apartments reared over the maze of alleys, blocking the sun and housing shopkeepers, workers and some 50 other washer families.
With his 10th-class year over, Saddam's summer holidays from school had begun. So he ironed. To become a civil engineer, he'd have to graduate high school – joining less than one- fifth of India's kids, according to American University Radio – and go to college, something his family admittedly cannot afford. Saddam said he's counting on a network of far-flung relatives to finance the loans.
"We'll just try to support him," Momina said outside as the coal rattled in her iron.
Ishaq, Saddam's father, with his two daughters in the family's home.
A Better River
Momina had never seen a clean river, and the Yamuna hadn't been the drinkable waterway Banny Miya remembered in Saddam's lifetime. Ishaq had seen it 25 years ago, however, after leaving a bakery business and taking up his father's work.
"It was clean when I started," he said. Now, the government and other organizations figuratively skimmed the river's surface once or twice a year. Nothing changes for long.
"It's very sad to see," Ishaq said. "It's better to work in clean water, but there is none."
Indeed, the work of the government, dozens of NGOs and roughly 5 billion rupees ($100 million) has gone into Yamuna cleanup efforts over the past two decades, and the water is as black as ever. The government is now gearing up for the Yamuna Action Plan Phase 2, or YAP-II, after the lackluster results of YAP-I.
The Indian government says the first phase had not focused enough on Delhi's 22- kilometer stretch and on public awareness and mobilization. Jacob, the water program director at CSE, also pinned the blame to an overemphasis on building new sewage treatment plants instead of pipes to get the sewage to those plants.
"Therefore, you have this huge volume of practically raw sewage," Jacob said. "Then you're back to square one."
All but one of 45 children, women and men living and earning along the river said it should be cleaned, though the divers and trash-pickers pointed out their dependence on the city's waste.
"We want a better life," said Gauri Singh, a fiery 25-year-old mother of two who sometimes collected trash near the Old Iron Bridge with her mother-in-law. "But who cares? Nothing changes. Nothing changes in our life."
Still, Jacob saw some hope with YAP-II, which he said would focus more on sewer infrastructure to start diverting pollution at its source. He guessed significant progress would come in the next one or two decades if YAP-II is implemented "properly," including getting riverside industrial plants in on the game and exploring more ways to purify water.
"It's a question of pushing the government, the people, the media," he said. "There's no shortage of money. It's more a shortage of public awareness and government will."
Saddam's Dream
Another morning in late May, bright as always, Saddam Khatom scrubbed and swung clothes at the canal alone. His parents and younger sisters had gone out of the city for two weeks to visit relatives, leaving him and his older brother, who usually worked in a factory, to tackle the flow of laundry alone.
The temperature had edged into the upper 90s by 9 a.m. Sweat glistened on his lean frame. Still he scrubbed.
Saddam being able to pay for college, the water below him being clean – both seem unlikely for now, he said. Saddam, however, shared the hope invoked by Jacob.
"India is a very different country than others, but I love it," he said. "You have to dream."

Traditionally, hair loss is a condition associated with men, however it is a reality for an astonishing number of women as well. Particularly, during menopause when hormones are thrown out of balance in the body, hair loss is an unfortunately common reality. Oftentimes, this is one of the first symptoms of menopause that a woman notice. Hair loss can be one of the more depressing symptoms of menopause, as a woman´s hair is associated with her femininity, sexuality, and individual sense of style.
Fortunately, through learning more about how and why it occurs, it is possible to be treated.
• Hair falls out in large clumps when washing it.
• Large snarls of hair appear in brush or comb.
• Small bald patches appear on the scalp.
• Scalp is red, oily, and/or itchy.
• Noticeable hair thinning on front, sides or top of head.
If experiencing these symptoms, it is likely that hair loss has reached the point of being a problem.
Hair loss during menopause is usually a direct effect of fluctuating hormone levels. Two main hormones are involved in hair growth: estrogen and testosterone. In estrogenic alopecia, the most common type of hair loss for menopausal women, this loss is directly attributed to a fall in estrogen levels. Estrogen helps hair grow faster, and stay on the head for a longer duration, leading to thicker, healthier hair.
Estrogen is not the only hormone that comes into play with the issue of menopausal hair loss. Androgens, or male hormones, increase as estrogen levels decrease. This causes androgenic alopecia, another form of hair loss. An androgen known as dihydrotestosterone, or DHT appears to bind to hair follicles and force them to go into their "resting" phases, or telogen, sooner than is normal, causing the new hairs to grow ever thinner with each cycle of hair growth.
Testosterone also shrinks the hair follicles, causing hair loss on the head, yet a greater production of hair on the face.
However, it is not only hormones that can cause a decrease in hair production during menopause. There are a number of other causes that can lead to hair loss.
While for menopausal women the cause of hair loss almost always is at least partially hormonal, there are many other causes that may also play a role in hair loss during menopause; including medical, psychological, or lifestyle triggers.
Lifestyle adjustments may help. Changes in diet and hair care are beneficial to some degree, as diet affects the rate of hair growth. Increasing one´s intake of protein, vitamins B & C, and iron all help. Exercise and stress reduction techniques such as meditation improve overall health, and taking care not to pull or twist hair can minimize damage.
On a deeper level, as a high percentage of hair loss is caused by changes in hormone levels, it is beneficial to use alternative treatments such as the Manna Menopause Support, which help to balance these hormones. Oftentimes, the most effective and safest solution is to combine lifestyle adjustments with alternative treatments.

I like to snack, a lot. From carrot sticks to carrot cake, I'm all for a mid-afternoon pick me up. Lately, my treats have tended to be on the unhealthy side (cake, cake, cake). I've been making a conscious effort to munch on healthier snacks. These offerings from itsu and Metcalfe's are a brilliant addition to my daily banana milkshakes.
Itsu is known for it's flavours from the Far East and these are incorporated into their snack selection. Whilst the Crispy Seaweed Thins may not be to my personal taste, I can't get enough of the Honey Cashews. Their rice cakes are an amazing alternative to a chocolate digestive - although I don't drink tea, so can't comment on their dunking performance! I have to say that the Honey Bee Skinny Popcorn was my absolute favourite. Each piece tastes exactly like honey on toast so I have a feeling it would definitely be Winnie-the-Pooh's fave too! I'm really excited that there are healthier snacks with a difference available on the highstreet. Picking up snacks or a light bite are usually where I slip up when I'm out. Now I know that there's no reason whatsoever for that Biscuit and Raisin Yorkie to fall into my hands!
itsu kindly sent me the above snacks to review for this post.
I'm a huge fan of dried seaweed, as I used to live in Asia. They don't eat it on its own over there, but wrap it round a small bit of rice. It's really yummy, you should try it!


It's the beginning of August and Tabletop Appreciation Weekend awaits us later this month. For the past few weeks, I wracked my brain to try and figure out a good way to kick off the lead up to the weekend we all come together as gamers over all things tabletop gaming related. Then I realized that I was being silly; I already had the perfect way to do that up my sleeve, and I had been working on it since last year with a small group of collaborators.
That project is We Wanted Adventurers, a liveplay Dungeons & Dragons podcast. A liveplay podcast follows an unscripted recording of a traditional tabletop roleplaying game, with all of the goofs and drama that comes with the territory. The show follows a motley trio of unlikely heroes as they bumble into adventures both big and small across the fantastical continent of Nevarrone.
I take on the role of the Dungeon Master, or DM, acting as the omniscient narrator of events and agent of fate over the fictional events within the game. Extra Life contributor Marcus Stewart takes on the role of Sean Valjean, a bard trying to rekindle his love of music. Kevin plays Arakiel, a barbarian wanderer born with a cursed fate. Finally, Alex appears as Pribi, a feared pirate captain who lost everything when his ship sank to the bottom of the sea.
It took a long time to put all the pieces together, but we can finally reveal the show to the world! The first two episodes are available now and new episodes will be released every week for the foreseeable future.
You can download or listen to the podcast over on Soundcloud, our hosting site, and (soon) iTunes. You can follow the show on Twitter, too. Let us know what you think of the show! We know that some parts of it are a bit bumpy, but I hope it doesn't get in the way of your enjoyment as we all learn and grow together. Thank you for listening!
With Tabletop Appreciation Weekend on August 25-26, you can also delve into the deep worlds of imagination and fun with your own friends and family. There's no better time to start a game of your own and forge some memories you'll never forget in the old-fashioned and time-tested form of pen and paper RPGs!

Posted on April 11, 2016 October 11, 2016 by Bio vio
Mohammed Shami (born 3 September 1990) is an Indian international cricketer who represents Bengal in domestic cricket. He is a right-arm fast-medium swing and seam bowler, who bowls consistently around the 140kmph mark, which makes him a deceptively potent fast bowler. He is also known as a "reverse swing specialist".He made his ODI debut against Pakistan in January 2013 where he bowled a record four maiden overs. He picked a five-wicket haul on his Test debut against West Indies in November 2013.
Shami is originally from Sahaspur village in Amroha, Uttar Pradesh.His father Tousif Ali is a farmer who was also a fast bowler in his younger days. Shami has a sister and three brothers, all three of whom wanted to be fast bowlers. In 2005, Tousif recognised Shami's bowling abilities and took him to Badruddin Siddique, a cricket coach in Moradabad which was 22 km from their village.
"When I first saw him [Shami] bowling at the nets as a 15-year-old kid, I knew this boy is not ordinary. So I decided to train him. For one year I prepared him for the UP trials, as we don't have club cricket over here. He was very co-operative, very regular and very hard working. He never took a day off from training. During the under 19 trials he bowled really well, but due to politics, he missed out on selection. They asked me to bring him next year, but at that moment I didn't want Shami to miss one year. So I advised his parents to send him to Kolkata."
— Badruddin Siddique on Mohammed Shami
After Shami missed out on getting picked for the Uttar Pradesh Under-19 team, Badruddin sent him to Kolkata later in 2005. Shami started playing for the Dalhousie Athletic Club. While he was playing for this club, he was noticed by Debabrata Das, a former assistant secretary of the Cricket Association of Bengal, who was impressed with Shami's bowling and drafted him into his team, Town Club, with a contract of Rs 75,000. Das took Shami, who had no place to stay in Kolkata, to his own residence.Shami bowled well for Town Club, but could not get selected for the Bengal Under-22 team. Das went to one of the selectors, Samarban Banerjee, and asked him to watch Shami's bowling. Banerjee was impressed with his bowling and selected him for the Bengal Under-22 team.
"Shami never wanted money. His goal was the stumps, the sound that comes from hitting the stumps. Ever since I saw him, most of his wickets were bowled. He bowls with an upright seam, on or just outside off stump, and gets it to cut back in."
— Debabrata Das on Mohammed Shami
In order to get selected for the Bengal team, Das sent Shami to Mohun Bagan Club, which is one of the top clubs in Bengal. After joining the club, Shami could bowl to Sourav Ganguly at the Eden Gardens nets. Ganguly saw Shami's bowling skills and asked the selectors to "take special care of him". Soon after, Shami was picked in the Bengal Ranji squad in 2010.
Domestic career
Shami made his first-class debut in 2010 against Assam, picking up three wickets.
In the aftermath of his good performance in the domestic season, he was selected for the West Indies-bound India A squad in 2012. He shared a match-winning partnership of 73 runs for the 10th wicket with Cheteshwar Pujara during India A's unofficial Test match against the West Indies A in June 2012.
During Ranji Trophy 2012–13, in a match against Hyderabad on a green at Eden Gardens, he took 4/36 and 6/71, and scored 15* from 6 balls in the second innings to help his side win the match by 4 wickets, along with Wriddhiman Saha. He also took 7/79 and 4/72 against Madhya Pradesh at the Holkar Cricket Stadium in Indore, but in spite of that his side lost the match by 138 runs. It included a hat-trick in the first innings to wipe out the tail.
Shami was signed by Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) for the 2011 season of the Indian Premier League, which was then coached by Wasim Akram. However, Shami played only a few matches in that season. He was retained by the franchise in the next two seasons and was a part of the team that won the title in 2012.
After his impressive Test debut in 2013, Delhi Daredevils bought him for ₹4.25 crore in 2014, in which edition he played a few matches. However his team had a bad season. He was retained by the franchise in the 2015 edition of the IPL. He got good pace and bowled at 140 km/h and above regularly with his fastest being 147.9 km/h.
ODI career
As a result of his good performances in the domestic matches, Shami Ahmed was selected for India's ODI series against Pakistan, replacing his Bengal teammate Ashok Dindaand subsequently made his debut in the third ODI at Delhi on 6 January 2013.He returned tidy figures of 1/23 from 9 overs in a low-scoring game that India won by 10 runs.He was selected for the Australian tour of India in October 2013. After sitting on the bench for the first 3 matches, he was given a chance in the fourth match in which he took 3 wickets.
In the India tour of New Zealand in 2014, Shami picked 11 wickets in ODIs at an average of 28.72.
On 5 March 2014, in an Asia cup match against Afghanistan, Shami became the third fastest Indian to 50 ODI wickets. He end the tournament with 9 wickets at 23.59.
After losing the Test series by 3-1 against England India won the ODI series by 3-1 in which Shami took 8 wickets at 24.16. In 5th ODI he bowled a good spell in death overs with tight line and lengh & Midlle stump Yorkers. After that cricket pundits call him Indian bowling future.
Shami picked 10 wickets at 17.40 against West Indies in October 2014. In the 2nd ODI of the Series he got his best bowling figure in ODIs as he picked up 4 wickets for 36 runs in his 9.3 overs.
He was in 15 man Squad for 5 Odis against Sri Lanka in November 2014 but he was replaced by Dhawal Kulkarni due to a toe injury he suffer during the West Indies Series.
Shami was a part of the 15 man-squad named for the 2015 World Cup and was eventually included in the playing XI. He picked 4 wickets for 35 runs from his 9 overs in India's first match against Pakistan, helping India win the match. In the second match against South Africa, he finished with 2/30 from 8 overs. In the third game against West Indies, he was awarded the Man of the Match after finishing with figures 8–2–35–3.He had a good game in the next as well, against Ireland, finishing with 3/41 from 9 overs. In the last of the league games, against Zimbabwe, he took another 3-wicket haul giving away 48 runs from his 9 overs which included 2 maidens. India went on to win all the league games. In the quarterfinal against Bangladesh, he picked 2 wickets for 37 runs off 8 overs. He had a poor game against Australia in the semifinal, which India lost, where he gave away 68 runs off 10 overs without picking a wicket, thus finishing the tournament with 17 wickets at 17.29 and an economy rate of 4.81. In June 2015, after the conclusion of the tournament, Shami revealed that he bowled through pain in his left knee which kept recurring, following which he underwent a surgery.
Test career
Shami made his Test debut against West Indies in November 2013 in front of his home crowd at Eden Gardens, Kolkata. There, he took his maiden Test wicket – that of Kieran Powell – finishing with figures of 17–2–71–4 in the first innings of the Test match. In the second innings, his figures were 13.1–0–47–5. He had a dream debut, taking 9 wickets for 118 runs – the most by an Indian pacer on debut – surpassing Munaf Patel's 7 wickets for 97 runs in Mohali in 2006.
He played Tests against South Africa and New Zealand and picked 6 and 10 wickets respectively. He had a poor series at the 2014 tour of England with 5 wickets in 3 matches at an average of 73.20. He was involved in a 111-run partnership for the 10th wicket, with Bhuvneshwar Kumar in the first Test at Trent Bridge, and scored his maiden half-century in the process, and helped India post 457 in the 1st innings when India were struggling on 346-9. He was a part of 19-member squad for 2014–15 Border Gavaskar Trophy in Australia where he played 3 matches and had a good series picking up 15 wickets at an average of 35.80.
T20I career
Shami made his debut in Twenty20 Internationals on 21 March 2014 against Pakistan in the opening match of the World T20 and took the wicket of Umar Akmal. He was played for only three matches in the tournament and dropped from the rest. He was included in the side in 2014 tour of England, following the Test series, in July. He played in the lone match of the series and finished with 3 wickets conceding 38 runs.

The Arctic is getting wetter and stormier, scientists warn
As humans warm the planet, the once reliably frigid and frozen Arctic is becoming wetter and stormier, with shifts in climate and seasons forcing local communities, wildlife and ecosystems to adapt, scientists said Tuesday in an annual review of the region.
Even though 2022 was only the sixth warmest year on record in the Arctic, researchers this year saw plenty of new signs of how the region is changing.
For example, a September heat wave in Greenland caused the most severe melting of the island's ice sheet for that time of year in more than four decades of continuous satellite monitoring. In 2021, a heat wave in August had caused it to rain for the first time on the top of the ice sheet.

"Insights about the circumpolar region are now more relevant than ever to the conversation about our warming planet," said Richard Spinrad, administrator of the United States National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. "We are seeing the effects of climate change first in polar regions."
Temperatures in the Arctic Circle have risen much faster than the rest of the planet, changing the region's climate to one defined less by sea ice, snow and permafrost and more by open water, rain and green landscapes .
Over the past four decades, the region has warmed four times faster than the global average, not two or three times as often reported, scientists in Finland said this year. Some parts of the Arctic are warming up to seven times faster than the world, they said.
Nearly 150 experts from 11 countries put together this year's assessment of Arctic conditions, the Arctic Report Card, which NOAA has produced since 2006. This year's report card was released Tuesday in Chicago at a conference of the American Geophysical Union, the Society of Earth, Atmospheric and Oceanic Scientists.
Warming at the top of the Earth is raising global sea levels, changing the way heat and water circulate in the oceans and could even affect extreme weather events like heatwaves and rainfall, scientists say. But Arctic communities are the first to feel the impact.
"Our homes, livelihoods and physical safety are threatened by the rapidly melting ice, thawing permafrost, increasing heat, wildfires and other changes," said Jackie Qatalina Schaeffer, an author of a chapter in the report on local communities, the director of climate initiatives for the Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium and an Inupiaq from Kotzebue, Alaska.
Between October 2021 and September, air temperatures over Arctic countries were the sixth warmest since 1900, the report card said, noting that the seven warmest years were the last seven. Rising temperatures are causing plants, shrubs and grasses to grow in parts of the Arctic tundra, and by 2022, levels of green vegetation were the fourth highest since 2000, particularly in the Canadian Arctic Archipelago, northern Quebec and central Siberia.
A new chapter in this year's report focuses on Arctic precipitation. Measuring snow, rain and ice is difficult there: there are not many weather meters in the northernmost corners of the region. Those attending may not be able to accurately measure the snow due to windy conditions.
Instead, scientists have begun to combine direct measurements with advanced computer models to get a more complete picture. These methods have given them the confidence to say that precipitation levels in the Arctic have increased significantly since the mid-20th century. This year was the region's third wettest since 1950, the report said.
However, due to warmer temperatures, additional snow does not necessarily remain on the ground. Snow accumulation in the Arctic was above average during the winter of 2021-22, the assessment said. But by June, snow cover in the North American Arctic was the second lowest on record. In the Eurasian Arctic, it was third lowest.
Three major factors may be increasing precipitation in different parts of the Arctic, said John Walsh, a scientist at the International Arctic Research Center at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, and an author of the report. First, warmer air can hold more moisture. Second, as sea ice retreats, storms can suck up more open ocean water.
Sea ice indicators recovered this year from near-record lows in 2021, but they were still below the long-term average, the assessment found. March is typically when the ice is at its greatest each year, September at its lowest. At both points this year, ice levels were among the lowest since satellites have taken reliable readings.
The third factor is that storms move over warmer waters before they reach the Arctic, giving them more energy, Walsh said. The remnants of Typhoon Merbok traveled across unusually warm waters in the North Pacific in September before battering communities along more than 1,000 miles of the Alaskan coast.
The Greenland Ice Sheet has been losing ice for the past 25 years and this year was no different. But what caught scientists' attention was an extraordinary burst of melting in September, the kind of event that would normally be seen in the middle of summer.
In early September, a high-pressure system brought warm, wet air that pushed temperatures in parts of Greenland as much as 36 degrees Fahrenheit above normal for that time of year. According to the report card, more than a third of the ice sheet is melting. Later that month, the remnants of Hurricane Fiona passed over the island, causing further melting of more than 15% of the ice sheet.
The seasons intermingle in the Arctic, said Matthew Druckenmiller, a scientist at the National Snow and Ice Data Center at the University of Colorado Boulder, and an editor of the report. Last week, the mercury hit 40 degrees Fahrenheit in Alaska's northern community of Utqiagvik, breaking winter records.
"At this time of year, the sun doesn't even come up" in that part of Alaska, Druckenmiller said.

Donald Hounan, Gifted
Corgi, 2015, ISBN 978-0-552-57187-6
Frank is fifteen and a forensic sorcerer. The best sorcerer his teacher has ever come across, he is impulsive and headstrong, and frequently gets in trouble with the authorities. In a world in which everyone stops being able to see things clearly once they reach their twenties, and even sorcerers lose their powers while still young, Frank's insight and expertise are invaluable. But the police find his maverick working style infuriating, and his constant questioning of received wisdom raises hackles. He has been called in to help work out the circumstances of the Bishop of Oxford's death. At least, it's assumed the victim is the Bishop of Oxford, though as the head is missing it is difficult to be sure. Even once Frank locates the head, nothing is simple. And it is not just the case that gives him problems. Sorcerers' powers - they can conjure up demons, and some of them dabble in necromancy - make them a source of mistrust and hatred, and Frank has to keep out of the clutches of the Anti-Sorcery Brotherhood. He has an ally in Marvell, the officer supporting the detective leading the case, who is romantically interested in him, but he antagonises her with his social ineptitude, and in any case, despite his vows of chastity, he finds himself increasingly drawn to the mysterious Kazia. There is danger everywhere.
The setting of Gifted is twentieth century Oxford, but this is a post-apocalyptic Oxford, now nicknamed Doughnut City, because of the destroyed and empty centre, home to criminals and the dispossessed. Sorcery is seen as a necessary evil, and its rules and systems are complex. Frank has spent seven years or more learning them. He is a compelling protagonist with an appealing sense of humour and lots of interesting character flaws. The plot is convoluted but gripping. Fans of fantasy whodunits will certainly enjoy this.

Q: Parent $scope value not showing in ng model after html $compile in angular directive I'm trying to generate HTML and input control from Angular Scope Isolated Directive in Typescript and modeling that input control with parent scope property.
The Problem i'm getting that although Angular $compiles the html and but the model value doesnt show in input control BUT CAN BE SEEN ON BROWSER CONSOLE.
Following is my angular Directive in typescript :
class InputControl implements ng.IDirective {

    restrict = "E";
    scope = {
        field: "=field"
    };
    templateUrl = "";
    controller = ["$scope","$sce","$compile", ($scope: any,$sce:ng.ISCEService, $compile : ng.ICompileService) => {
        var controlHTML = "";
        var jsonObj = "$scope.$parent.$parent.sheetModel.model." + eval("$scope.field.Property");
        switch($scope.field.PropertyDetail.Type)
        {
            case "string":{

                controlHTML = $compile("<input type='text' class='form-control' ng-model='"+jsonObj+"'></input>'")($scope)[0].outerHTML;
                break;
            }

        }
        //$scope.html = controlHTML;
         $scope.html = $sce.trustAsHtml(controlHTML);
    }];

    controllerAs = "inputcontroller";

    constructor(private $location: ng.ILocationService , private $sce:ng.ISCEService , private $compile : ng.ICompileService) {
        var a : InputControl = this;
        a.templateUrl=$sce.trustAsUrl("http://"+window.location.host +"/AngularApp/Templates/inputcontrol.html");
    }

    link = (scope: ng.IScope, element: ng.IAugmentedJQuery, attrs: ng.IAttributes, ctrl: any, $compile : ng.ICompileService) => {
    };

    static factory(): ng.IDirectiveFactory {
        const directive = ($location: ng.ILocationService , $sce : ng.ISCEService,$compile : ng.ICompileService) => new InputControl($location,$sce,$compile);
        directive.$inject = ["$location","$sce","$compile"];
        return directive;
    }
}

angular.module("SheetApp").directive("inputControl", InputControl.factory());

HTML TEMPLATE

INPUT GENerated :

On debug , it has value but not model into the control

A: it started working, when i changed line from
var jsonObj = "$scope.$parent.$parent.sheetModel.model." + eval("$scope.field.Property");

to
var jsonObj = "$parent.$parent.sheetModel.model." + eval("$scope.field.Property");


Most puppies do not chew or tear up their potty pad, however, in some rare cases you may have a puppy that likes to chew everything in sight. Most dog owners only use this device for a short time, because most puppies outgrow their chewing stage and are no longer interested in chewing their potty pad.
We invented this one-of-a-kind device as an option for some PTPA owners. It is a patent pending device. It securely holds down a PTPA Potty Pad with ideal weight and pressure to discourage your puppy from chewing on the potty pad. It fits within the black plastic pan of the PTPA, so the device is locked in and very stable when in use. It is very easy to use and we created it so you can conveniently replace the PTPA Potty Pad after your dog potties.
Option 1 - Place the PPH on top of a regular PTPA Potty Pad. See example photo 2.
Option 2 - Place the PPH on top of a regular PTPA Potty Pad that has the blue portion of the pad folded underneath the pad on three sides. See example photo 3.
Option 3 - Place the PPH on top of a regular PTPA Potty Pad that you have carefully cut with scissors on three sides to be an exact fit underneath the PPH. See example photo 4.
After you choose your preferred option, simply slide the black plastic pan back into your PTPA. See example photo 5.
Place your bedding in the bedroom section of your PTPA. See example photo 6.
From this point on, you will no longer have to remove the black plastic pan. You will simply lift the PPH upwards a few inches and replace the PTPA Potty Pad with a new one after your dog potties.

Q: What is the preferred way to specify an HTTP "Location" Response Header in Spring MVC 3? What is the preferred way to specify an HTTP "Location" Response Header in Spring MVC 3?
As far as I can tell, Spring will only provide a "Location" in response to a redirect ("redirect:xyz" or RedirectView), however there are scenarios where a Location should be sent along with the entity body (ex, as a result of a "201 Created").
I'm afraid my only option is manually specifying it:
httpServletResponse.setHeader("Location", "/x/y/z");

Is this correct?  Is there a better way to tackle this problem?

A: It's an old question but here is what you can do if you want to let Spring really build the URI for you.
@RestController
@RequestMapping("/api/v1")
class JobsController {

  @PostMapping("/jobs")
  fun createJob(@RequestParam("use-gpu") useGPU: Boolean?): ResponseEntity<Unit> {

    val headers = HttpHeaders()

    val jobId = "TBD id"

    headers.location =
            MvcUriComponentsBuilder
                    .fromMethodName(JobsController::class.java, "getJob", jobId)
                    .buildAndExpand(jobId)
                    .toUri()

    return ResponseEntity(headers, HttpStatus.CREATED)
  }

  @GetMapping("/job/{jobId}")
  fun getJob(@PathVariable jobId: String) = ... // fetch job
}

In this example (which is written in Kotlin but similar for java), the base URI is /api/v1 (defined at the top of the class). Using MvcUriComponentsBuilder.fromMethodName call lets Spring figure out the proper full URI. (MvcUriComponentsBuilder was added in 4.0).

A: The following example is from spring tutorial:
@RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.POST)
ResponseEntity<?> add(@PathVariable String userId, @RequestBody Bookmark input) {
    this.validateUser(userId);

    return this.accountRepository
            .findByUsername(userId)
            .map(account -> {
                Bookmark result = bookmarkRepository.save(new Bookmark(account,
                        input.uri, input.description));

                URI location = ServletUriComponentsBuilder
                    .fromCurrentRequest().path("/{id}")
                    .buildAndExpand(result.getId()).toUri();

                return ResponseEntity.created(location).build();
            })
            .orElse(ResponseEntity.noContent().build());

}

Take note that the following will compute the context path (URI) for you avoiding code duplication and making your application more portable:
ServletUriComponentsBuilder
                    .fromCurrentRequest().path("/{id}")

A: According to: http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html#sec14.30
Absolute URI should be used:
Location       = "Location" ":" absoluteURI

And the URI should be escaped properly:
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2396.txt

A: The key point is to use UriComponentsBuilder.
There are several ways how you can get the instance of it

*

*preconfigured UriComponentsBuilder from MvcUriComponentsBuilder

*UriComponentsBuilder injected as parameter to method

Preconfigured UriComponentsBuilder from MvcUriComponentsBuilder
This way you can get UriComponentsBuilder that is configured to produce URI that points to some controller methods with predefined parameters.
Here is example from the javadoc for MvcUriComponentsBuilder:
For example, given this controller:
 @RequestMapping("/people/{id}/addresses")
 class AddressController {

   @RequestMapping("/{country}")
   public HttpEntity<Void> getAddressesForCountry(@PathVariable String country) { ... }

   @RequestMapping(value="/", method=RequestMethod.POST)
   public void addAddress(Address address) { ... }
 }

A UriComponentsBuilder can be created:
 // Inline style with static import of "MvcUriComponentsBuilder.on"

 MvcUriComponentsBuilder.fromMethodCall(
    on(AddressController.class).getAddressesForCountry("US")).buildAndExpand(1);

Another options which sometimes may be preferable is to specify controller method by name:
UriComponents uriComponents = MvcUriComponentsBuilder.fromMethodName(
    AddressController.class, "getAddressesForCountry", "US").buildAndExpand(1);
URI nextUri = uriComponents.toUri();

UriComponentsBuilder injected as parameter to method
As of spring 3.1 Location can be crafted using UriComponentBuilder parameter and set it to the returned ResponseEntity. UriComponentBuilder is aware of the context and manipulates with relative paths:
@RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.POST)
public ResponseEntity<?> createCustomer(UriComponentsBuilder b) {

    UriComponents uriComponents =
        b.path("/customers/{id}").buildAndExpand(id);

    HttpHeaders headers = new HttpHeaders();
    headers.setLocation(uriComponents.toUri());
    return new ResponseEntity<Void>(headers, HttpStatus.CREATED);
}

Since version 4.1 you can make it even shorter
@RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.POST)
public ResponseEntity<?> createCustomer(UriComponentsBuilder b) {

    UriComponents uriComponents =
        b.path("/customers/{id}").buildAndExpand(id);

    return ResponseEntity.created(uriComponents.toUri()).build();
}

Thanks to Dieter Hubau to pointing this out.

A: Your approach seems fine, but to keep it clean you could put the code inside a custom HandlerInterceptor that only triggers when there's an HTTP 201, for example.

Maine Voices: Land trusts contribute to communities
Most conserved lands stay on the local tax rolls and provide public access to the outdoors.
By Tim Glidden and Doreen MacGillisSpecial to the Press Herald
The Maine Voices column by Jerome A. Collins, "Land Trusts' practices raise unanswered questions (Dec. 21)," is an unfortunate example of rehashed and inaccurate criticisms of land conservation debunked as recently as 2018, when Maine land trusts worked with then-Gov. LePage and legislative leaders on both sides of the aisle to initiate a study of "Conserved Lands Owned by Nonprofit Conservation Organizations." The data collected was quite revealing and tells a far different story than what was portrayed in the recent opinion piece.
The Maine Legislature's study looked closely at the issue of Maine land trusts and property taxes. What they found was just the opposite of the common assumption shared by many critics. In the real world, more than 98 percent of all lands conserved by land trusts in Maine contribute to the local property tax base, supporting municipal governments at the same tax rates as small woodlot owners, farmers, and commercial forest landowners. No matter how often the contrary claim is made, the fact is that most Maine land trust conserved lands remain on municipal property tax rolls.
Tim Glidden is president of the Maine Coast Heritage Trust. Doreen MacGillis is chair of the Maine Land Trust Network Steering Committee and executive director of the York Land Trust.
The bipartisan legislative study also addressed the assertion that land trust parcels are largely unmanaged. Once again, legislators found the opposite to be true, and in a big way. The study reported that 85 percent of the acres land trusts have conserved (2.14 million acres) are productive working forestlands; another 36,000 acres are working farmlands; and more than five dozen properties provide guaranteed water access to clammers, wormers, and other marine fishermen.
Above all, what the legislative study captured was the diverse network of outdoor recreational areas that are now available to all of us, thanks to Maine's eighty-plus land trusts. Together, these properties feature scenic landscapes, recreational trails, community parks, and outdoor experiences that rival those offered at state and federal parks, and, with few exceptions, also invite the public for free. Maine families have seen this benefit firsthand over the past two years, as they have ventured to land trust preserves in record numbers to maintain physical and mental health during the pandemic.
What have they encountered? Hikers have discovered more than 1,250 miles of trails. Those who enjoy the outdoors on a mountain bike or the back of a snowmobile have explored hundreds of miles of terrain. Families drawn to the water have visited dozens of beaches offering opportunities to swim, picnic, and observe wildlife, while kayakers, canoeists, and anglers have taken advantage of hundreds of boat launch sites across the state. And true to long tradition, hunters have found more than 90% of these lands open to sportsmen and women.
This recent attack does not represent the supportive view held by an overwhelming majority of Maine people and municipalities. What one sees most often, if taking the time to look, are land trusts, citizens, and local communities joining together to make Maine a better state in which to live, work, and raise a family. We look forward to continuing this work in the upcoming year and beyond.

Q: How do I pass an array from Swift to MSL parameter (C++) I want to make this custom CIFilter.
var dummyColors = [
        CIVector(x: 0.9, y: 0.3, z: 0.4),
        CIVector(x: 0.2, y: 0.5, z: 0.9),
        CIVector(x: 0.5, y: 0.9, z: 0.3)
    ]

    var normal = dummyColors.withUnsafeMutableBufferPointer { (buffer) -> UnsafeMutablePointer<CIVector> in
        var p = buffer.baseAddress
        print(p)
        return p!
    }

    //this is  parameter and how to pass bvalue to the kernel function
    return self.kernel.apply(extent: inputExtent,
                             roiCallback: roiCallback,
                             arguments: [inputImage, reddish, greenish, blueish, normal])  // (5)

Here is me trying to pass parameter with pointer. However the code seem doesn't like it and it just crashed without no printing error.
And here is the metal function
extern "C" { namespace coreimage {               // (3)

//this is how you define parameter on the top of the function
float4 dyeInThree(sampler src,
                  float3 redVector,
                  float3 greenVector,
                  float3 blueVector,
                  device float3 *a)

Is there another way how to pass the parameter to my metal code?

A: The pointer you get with withUnsafeMutableBufferPointer is only valid inside the closure you passed to the function. You need to allocate a more "permanent" storage for the parameters.
You can start by using something like UnsafeMutableBufferPointer.allocate to allocate the memory, but you will have to track the memory somewhere, because you will need to deallocate it after you are done using it.

A: I adopted this answer to your use case:
https://stackoverflow.com/a/58706038/16896928
Here's what I used for memory allocation:
var dummyColors = [
            SIMD3<Float>(x: 1.1, y: 0.1, z: 0.1),
            SIMD3<Float>(x: 0.1, y: 1.1, z: 0.1),
            SIMD3<Float>(x: 0.1, y: 0.1, z: 1.1)
        ]

let pointer = UnsafeMutableRawPointer.allocate(
            byteCount: 3 * MemoryLayout<SIMD3<Float>>.stride,
            alignment: MemoryLayout<SIMD3<Float>>.alignment)
let sPointer = dummyColors.withUnsafeMutableBufferPointer { (buffer) -> UnsafeMutablePointer<SIMD3<Float>> in
            let p = pointer.initializeMemory(as: SIMD3<Float>.self,
            from: buffer.baseAddress!,
            count: buffer.count)
            return p
        }
let data = Data(bytesNoCopy: sPointer, count: 3 * MemoryLayout<SIMD3<Float>>.stride, deallocator: .free)

You need to convert the buffer into NSData before passing it to the kernel. And here is the Metal function declaration:
extern "C" { namespace coreimage {               // (3)
    float4 dyeInThree(sampler src,
                      float3 redVector,
                      float3 greenVector,
                      float3 blueVector,
                      constant float3 a[]) {

Note the 'constant' namespace instead of 'device'. Otherwise the Metal compiler would give error at runtime.
