Trump Choreographing His Exit Like A State Visit


Hi! I have a very strange problem and I would like to know if there is any solution.
When I have the task manager open (control + alt + delete and selecting task manager in Windows 10) the game doesn't fall below from 59 fps, but the moment I close it I get 20-40 fps.
Simply opening the Task Manager solves that, which is completely weird.
I hope someone can help me, thanks!
Just tested on Win 7 and this doesn't happen. Might be something that Win 10 does when opening the task manager.

Reserve, National Guard have key role with rest of Army in winning wars, general says
By Franklin Fisher (Benning)September 16, 2019
FORT BENNING, Ga. -- A battle-ready National Guard and Reserve are crucial to the nation's ability to fight and win wars, and the Army is working to keep those forces well-honed and ready to deploy with their active-duty counterparts, a senior military officer said here Sept. 12.Lt. Gen. Thomas S. James, Jr., commanding general, 1st Army, made the remarks during a presentation in McGinnis-Wickam Hall on the final day of the 2019 Maneuver Warfighter Conference, which began Sept. 10.James heads the 1st Army's Task Force Deed, which oversees the effort to transition the Army's National Guard and Reserve into a well-integrated fighting force that can be deployed to war along with the Army's active-duty forces. The Army calls that concept its Total Force Policy."We have never won a war without the Guard and the Reserve and we will never win one without it," said Jones.Among keys to positioning the Guard and Reserve for that total force role is ensuring they are properly trained, equipped, led and otherwise supported, said James.Task Force Deed conducts numerous exercises and assessments through the year to give the forces that needed edge."We are in this fight together. We are in the readiness generating and mobilization arena."Also as part of meeting that mission, Task Force Deed partners closely with units and commands across the nation, geographically, and in other ways linked to best support any wartime mobilization of the Guard and Reserve that may arise, said James."We're spread all over the country," he said."We look at it holistically, as a mission," he said. "I look at it in terms of forming the partnerships, then generating readiness, and then mobilizing. That is the continuum that exists and how we operate."Also important to ensuring the Guard and Reserve are ready for their total force role is paying attention to the fact that Guard and Reserve have civilian employers, and thus building predictability into their military service, James said.The troops serve out of a passion for protecting the nation, he said."But they also have a civilian job and a civilian employer that has demands on that family and on that Soldier," he said. "So we have to understand that and we have to be really predictable."James encouraged young officers and noncommissioned officers to explore career possibilities with Task Force Deed, which he said, had many opportunities for professional development and advancement.To see the video on this session of the Maneuver Warfighter Conference, visit https://vimeo.com/fortbenningtv/totalforce.See more photos from the Maneuver Warfighter Conference, visit https://www.fortbenningphotos.com/Maneuver-Center/Warfighter-Conference/Annual-Maneuver-Conference/2019-Maneuver-Warfighter-Conference/2019-Day-3-Maneuver-Warfighter-Conference.To read more stories from the Maneuver Warfighter Conference, visit https://www.dvidshub.net/feature/ManWarCon or www.army.mil/benning.

AcidFS allows interaction with the filesystem using transactions with ACID semantics. Git is used as a back end, and AcidFS integrates with the transaction package allowing use of multiple databases in a single transaction.
Changes to the filesystem will only be persisted when a transaction is committed and if the transaction succeeds.
Within the scope of a transaction, your application will only see a view of the filesystem consistent with that filesystem's state at the beginning of the transaction. Concurrent writes do not affect the current context.
A full history of all changes is available, since files are stored in a backing Git repository. The standard Git toolchain can be used to recall past states, roll back particular changes, replicate the repository remotely, etc.
Changes to a AcidFS filesystem are synced automatically with any other database making use of the transaction package and its two phase commit protocol, eg. ZODB or SQLAlchemy .
Most common concurrent changes can be merged. There's even a decent chance concurrent modifications to the same text file can be merged.
Transactions can be started from an arbitrary commit point, allowing, for example, a web application to apply the results of a form submission to the state of your data at the time the form was rendered, making concurrent edits to the same resource less risky and effectively giving you transactions that can span request boundaries.
The motivation for this package is the fact that it often is convenient for certain very simple problems to simply write and read data from a fileystem, but often a database of some sort winds up being used simply because of the power and safety available with a system which uses transactions and ACID semantics. For example, you wouldn't want a web application with any amount of concurrency at all to be writing directly to the filesystem, since it would be easy for two threads or processes to both attempt to write to the same file at the same time, with the result that one change is clobbered by another, or even worse, the application is left in an inconsistent, corrupted state. After thinking about various ways to attack this problem and looking at Git's datastore and plumbing commands, it was determined that Git was a very good fit, allowing a graceful solution to this problem.
Only platforms where fcntl is available are supported. This excludes Microsoft Windows and probably the JVM as well.
Kernel level locking is used to manage concurrency. This means AcidFS cannot handle multiple application servers writing to a shared network drive.
The type of locking used only synchronizes other instances of AcidFS . Other processes manipulating the Git repository without using AcidFS could cause a race condition. A repository used by AcidFS should only be written to by AcidFS in order to avoid unpleasant race conditions.
All of the above limitations are a result of the locking used to synchronize commits. For the most part, during a transaction, nothing special needs to be done to manage concurrency since Git's storage model makes management of multiple, parallel trees trivially easy. At commit time, however, any new data has to be merged with the current head which may have changed since the transaction began. This last step should be synchronized such that only one instance of AcidFS is attempting this at a time. The mechanism, currently, for doing this is use of the fcntl module which takes advantage of an advisory locking mechanism available in Unix kernels.
If there is not already a Git repository at the path specified, one is created. An instance of AcidFS is not thread safe. The same AcidFS instance should not be shared across threads or greenlets, etc.
# If no exception has been thrown, then changes are saved!  Yeah!
If you're using Pyramid, you should use pyramid_tm. For other WSGI frameworks there is also repoze.tm2.
Added blog entry: "Bedrock Bro Culture: Yabba Dabba Dude!"
An instance of AcidFS exposes a transactional filesystem view of a Git repository. Instances of AcidFS are not threadsafe and should not be shared across threads, greenlets, etc.
Many methods take a path as an argument. All paths use forward slash / as a separator, regardless of the path separator of the underlying operating system. The path / represents the root folder of the repository. Paths may be relative or absolute: paths beginning with a / are absolute with respect to the repository root, paths not beginning with a / are relative to the current working directory. The current working directory always starts at the root of the repository. The current working directory can be changed using the chdir() and cd() methods.
The path to the repository in the real, local filesystem.
The name of a branch to use as the head for this transaction. Changes made using this instance will be merged to the given head. The default, if omitted, is to use the repository's current head.
If there is not a Git repository in the indicated directory, should one be created? The default is True .
If the Git repository is to be created, create it as a bare repository. If the repository is already created or create is False, this argument has no effect.
If the Git repository is to be created, set the user name for the repository to this value. This is the same as creating the repository and running git config user.name "<user_name>" .
If the Git repository is to be created, set the user email for the repository to this value. This is the same as creating the repository and running git config user.email "<user_email>" .
Name to be used as a sort key when ordering the various databases (datamanagers in the parlance of the transaction package) during a commit. It is exceedingly rare that you would need to use anything other than the default, here.
Encode paths with this encoding. The default is ascii .
Implements the semantics of the open function in Python's io module, which is the default implementation in Python 3. Opening a file in text mode will return a file-like object which reads or writes unicode strings, while opening a file in binary mode will return a file-like object which reads or writes raw bytes.
Because the underlying implementation uses a pipe to a Git plumbing command, opening for update (read and write) is not supported, nor is seeking.
Returns the path to the current working directory in the repository.
Change the current working directory in repository.
Return list of files in indicated directory. If path is omitted, the current working directory is used.
Create a new directory. The parent of the new directory must already exist.
Create a new directory, including any ancestors which need to be created in order to create the directory with the given path .
Remove a single directory. The directory must be empty.
Remove a directory and any of its contents.
Move a file or directory from src path to dst path.
Returns boolean indicating whether a file or directory exists at the given path .
Returns boolean indicating whether the given path is a directory.
Returns boolean indicating whether the directory indicated by path is empty.
Returns the id of the commit that is the current base for the transaction.
Sets the base commit for the current transaction. The commit argument may be the SHA1 of a commit or the name of a reference (eg. branch or tag). The current transaction must be clean. If any changes have been made in the transaction, a ConflictError will be raised.
Returns the sha1 hash of the object referred to by path . If path is omitted the current working directory is used.

'Creating history': Students interview essential workers during the COVID-19 pandemic
By Max Witynski
Oral history project preserves stories of frontline workers in University of Chicago Library archives
Essential workers have been lauded as heroes of the COVID-19 pandemic, but their individual stories—the details that reveal the daily lived realities of nurses and janitors, grocery clerks and transit workers—have often gone untold.
To help change that, University of Chicago undergraduate students are creating an oral history project to share and preserve the voices of these frontline workers.
As part of Assoc. Prof. Amy Dru Stanley's autumn class on U.S. labor history, the students interviewed workers from hospitals, schools, stores and many other sectors that serve the public. The interviews (48 in total) formed the basis of their final class projects, and will be archived in the Hanna Holborn Gray Special Collections Research Center at Regenstein Library.
"The students are creating history," said Stanley, a leading historian of U.S. law and capitalism. "They're documenting the experiences of the people who are risking their lives to sustain all of us during this time."
The project will continue during the winter quarter in a class taught by Asst. Prof. Gabriel Winant. It explores the nature of essential work and its relationship to social inequality, while posing questions about how essential work is defined, examining the protections offered by unions and analyzing the role of gender, race and other factors in shaping the work that is available to different people.
By providing students with an opportunity to gather first-person narratives, the project encourages them to connect the past and the present while thinking critically about labor studies during the pandemic. And the interviews—which were conducted virtually with workers around the country, from Chicago to Dallas, New York City and the San Francisco Bay Area—also created an opportunity to connect with the people who keep our society running.
Teaching assistants Daina Coffey and James Bradley helped guide the project, which has been eye-opening and challenging for students in many ways. Ricardo Mestre, a fourth-year in the College majoring in history, interviewed a Chicago Transit Authority janitor. He was surprised to hear that the janitor had never felt protected at work.
"My interviewee viewed COVID as just another obstacle that they had to meet with self-reliance," Mestre said.
Fourth-year Andrew Dietz talked to a nurse who felt "disillusioned" by the fact that frontline workers are so frequently cast as heroes without receiving additional compensation. This narrative can amount to emotional blackmail, Dietz explained, because it makes workers seem ungrateful if they request reduced hours, better pay or more personal protective equipment.
"COVID caused my interviewee to reflect on the nursing profession as a whole," Dietz said. Too often, the nurse felt as if their hospital prioritized economic viability over helping people.
Zebeeb Nuguse, a third-year, spoke to a hospital cook who was worried about members of his team delivering meals to COVID patients in their hospital rooms. The interviewee, Brandon Partin, said workers are not always given details about a patient's illness due to HIPAA laws. In some cases, members of the hospital team come into close proximity with patients, only to find out later that they may have been exposed to COVID.

Listen to a clip of Brandon Partin, a hospital cook, talking about the risks involved in delivering meals to COVID-19 patients.
Stanley said the class was designed to be "enlightening, disturbing, and provocative of thought" for the students: "In sum, everything that education at the University of Chicago should be."
Students agreed that the conversations required them to get outside of their comfort zones, while providing an opportunity for human connection at a time of social distancing and a unique perspective on U.S. labor history.
"Doing the oral history project really forced me to think about the 'through line' concept—the idea that nothing happens in a vacuum—in a way that I didn't have to in other classes," said Libby Rohr, a fourth-year. "Having real discussions with people in our communities has been incredibly valuable."
Other students were struck by the isolation some essential workers said they felt while navigating the COVID-19 crisis. Many described limited access to PPE, and little guidance from administrators and supervisors about how to perform their jobs safely.
Second-year Daniel Harris interviewed a Chicago Transit Authority extra-board train worker who expressed frustration with the lack of information employees received when a coworker tested positive for COVID. "For all intents and purposes, it is a jungle [for municipal transit workers]," Harris said.
But the students also found workers who have felt solidarity with one another during the crisis. For example, fourth-year Will Mann, a double major in history and economics, interviewed a clinician at the University of Illinois at Chicago.
"She expressed a real sense of collectivity and shared suffering with her fellow nurses, doctors and clinicians, and said that this experience has brought them personally closer together," Mann said. "I think that's a perspective you don't often get to hear."

The biosecurity of swine feed is important for producing healthy animals and safe pork. But until 2013, feed was considered a low-risk vehicle for transmitting viral pathogens to swine.
An investigation into how PEDV entered the US was not able to conclusively determine the source. But the investigation reported "contaminated bulk bags were the most likely route of entry," Crenshaw said.
Spray-dried porcine plasma was associated with early cases of the virus in Canada but later repudiated. Investigations found a low to negligible risk of PEDV transmission through feed or feed ingredients of porcine origin, according to Crenshaw. In addition, a review of research validated the biosafety of spray-dried porcine plasma relative to several swine pathogens, including PEDV.
Because PEDV can survive in feed, biosecurity for feed production must consider the risks of transmitting viral pathogens like it, Crenshaw said. Resources are available to help veterinarians and swine producers develop biosecurity plans for internal feed production as part of overall animal-health programs.
The main objective of a biosecurity plan is to identify potential hazards, develop protocols to control the hazards and increase biosecurity awareness. The plans should ensure proper training of staff.
Also important is a verification program that makes sure suppliers of ingredients have adequate programs to control biohazards and contamination. Suppliers should maintain ingredient specifications and show compliance of their biosecurity programs.
Sampling feed ingredients when received is important for reducing the risk of biohazards in a feed mill. Because feed ingredients come in many forms and containers, sampling procedures will vary accordingly. For example, multiple samples must be taken from various locations in a bulk bin or truck and at repeated intervals as a bulk bin or truck is being unloaded.
The sampling for biohazards like PEDV must be conducted with aseptic procedures to make sure samples are not contaminated. This means using disposable latex gloves, sanitized sampling tools, aseptic packaging and sanitary sample containers. Samples with live microorganisms should be refrigerated immediately and transported in insulated packaging to make sure the microorganism does not grow.
Since he is employed by a manufacturer of spray-dried animal-blood products for use in feed, Crenshaw also discussed biosecurity procedures used during the product's manufacturing process. He said good management practices require blood to be collected only from inspected animals that are determined fit for slaughter for human consumption.
At the slaughter plant, a specially constructed system captures the blood and rapidly removes it from the slaughter area to a fully dedicated and enclosed stainless-steel system to prevent contamination. The whole blood or plasma (if separated in a centrifuge) is cooled to 39° F (4° C) within 5 minutes of collection and transported within 24 hours for further processing and drying. All equipment is sanitized at the plant.
Company facilities are dedicated to only processing blood products, with most handling only porcine or bovine blood or plasma. Biosecurity measures control entry to and exit from the plant and facility. Products entering the plant must meet quality standards.
The processing is a highly controlled, computerized process, according to Crenshaw. During spray-drying, the product is exposed to temperatures over 176° F (>80° C) throughout the substance to eliminate certain animal-health risks. Strict biosecurity measures are used throughout the processing plant to ensure sanitary conditions.
Since the PEDV outbreaks, manufacturers of the spray-dried blood products have implemented additional measures for post-drying heat treatment to ensure PEDV does not survive in the product. Plus, a new photo-purification process that is effective against a variety of pathogens, including bacteria and either envelope or non-envelope viruses, is being introduced, he added.
Biosecurity measures for the safe production and transportation of the nation's swine-feed supply are available. But ensuring these measures are used on the more than 50 million tons of feed fed to US swine each year is a daunting task.
At the local level, Crenshaw recommended feed mills and swine producers purchase only consistent and certified feed products from suppliers who have verified biosecurity programs and process controls. This will reduce the need for routine sampling and analyses of every in-bound feed or ingredient.

defnix
=======

The Zalora public nix library.

`defnix` is home to packages and functions that we want to share with the
community but don't fit into upstream `nixpkgs` for whatever reason.
Additionally, it is the repository for `defnixos`, our service-oriented
deployment specification library.

Defnix uses [nix-exec][1]. Its `default.nix` requires you to pass in the
`nix-exec` lib and returns a `nix-exec` IO value. See
`<defnix/defnixos/nixos-wrappers/ipsec-wrapper.nix>` for an example of how you
can use `defnix` when not using `nix-exec` for evaluation.

Organization
-------------

`defnix` currently has the following components:

* `lib`: Pure nix library functions
* `nixpkgs`: Upstream dependencies from `nixpkgs`
* `eval-support`: Functions for calculation at evaluation time that cannot be
  done in pure nix (i.e. require import from derivations)
* `nix-exec`: Native `nix-exec` functions
* `build-support`: Functions and packages expected to be used directly only
  at build time (e.g. compilers)
* `pkgs`: Functions and packages expected to be used at runtime
* `defnixos`: The deployment specification library

See the individual subdirectories for more information.

Filesystem layout
------------------

`defnix` uses the directory hierarchy to automatically provide structure.
In the normal case, adding a new package or function requires simply
creating a subdirectory in the relevant category and writing a `default.nix`.
The `default.nix` should take a `defnix` argument, which contains the entire
set of values in `defnix`. Adding nested subdirectories before the
`default.nix` will result in a nested set being added to the top-level `defnix`
value.

In some cases, having a separate directory for a given function may be
overkill. If a directory contains an `uncomposed.nix` file, it will be
imported and passed the `defnix` lib and the normal recursion is stopped there.
See `<defnix/build-support/uncomposed.nix>` for a concrete example, but as a
convention `uncomposed.nix` should recursively import its current directory and
add any trivial functions to the set that results from that.

Composition and overriding
---------------------------

The top-level `uncomposed.nix` imports the entire `defnix` tree as described
above. The result is expected to be a tree represented as an attribute set,
where the leaf nodes are all functions taking a `defnix` argument. The
top-level `default.nix` ties this all together by calling each such function
with the composed `defnix` set. This means that any leaf values that don't make
sense as a function taking a `defnix` argument (e.g. the defnix lib) need to
be handled manually.

The top-level `default.nix` takes a set of overrides as an argument. As each
leaf function is reached, `default.nix` first checks to see if the overrides
set contains a value at that path, and uses it if so. For example, if the
overrides set is `{ build-support.compile-c = something; }`, then
`defnix.build-support.compile-c` will refer to `something` instead of to
the result of calling `<defnix/build-support/compile-c/default.nix>` with
the full `defnix` set. An overrides set of `{ build-support = {}; }`, however,
will not affect any leaf values as no full path to any leaf is present.

Some examples:

* `(import <defnix> { build-support.cc = "${pkgs.klibc}/bin/klcc"; }).pkgs.notify-readiness`
  will result in a version of `notify-readiness` linked against `klibc` instead of `glibc`.
* `import <defnix> { nixpkgs.haskellPackages.hakyll = import <my-hakyll> { ??? }; }` will
  override the `hakyll` package.

Configuration values
---------------------

In some cases, leaf values may be configurable in some way that doesn't make
sense to express as a function argument. For example, importing `nixpkgs`
requires a `system` argument, but we don't want to have the set of packages
from `nixpkgs` all be functions and have to pass `system` around every time we
want to use one. Instead, `defnix.config` is used to hold configuration values
in a global set that all packages can access. For example,
`defnix.config.system` is used by `nixpkgs` to determine which system to
import the `nixpkgs` checkout with, it is set to `builtins.currentSystem` by
default but can be overridden in the call to `default.nix` (see
`<defnix/defnixos/nixos-wrappers/ipsec-wrapper.nix>` for an example).

Some configuration values affect many different components, such as,
`system`, and these should be set with default values in the top-level
`default.nix`. Others are component-specific, and should be put into a
component-specific namespace in `defnix.config` with default values handled
by the component. For example, if we ever want to make the set of cflags used
globally for `compile-c` to be configurable, we should use something like
`defnix.config.build-support.compile-c.cflags or default-flags` in
`<defnix/build-support/compile-c/default.nix>`.

Native import
-------------

Because some functions in `defnix` (such as those in `nix-exec`) are meant to
run native code on the evaluating machine, the `defnix.native` attribute points
to an import of `defnix` with `config.system` set to `builtins.currentSystem`.
Functions that need it should use `defnix.native` where relevant, so that the
end user can just import `defnix` with `config.system` set to the *target*
system and still evaluate everything on their native host.

Cosmic Geometry: The Life and Work of Monir Shahroudy Farmanfarmaian

Monir Shahroudy Farmanfarmaian, an Iranian artist whose work is included in the collections of New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art and London's Victoria and Albert Museum, has lived through two exiles in New York. The first was self-imposed, when she left home during World War II in her early 20s, first to study art at Cornell and then fashion illustration at Parsons in New York City. Farmanfarmaian, who was born in 1924, soon became friends with artists and contemporaries Louise Nevelson, Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning, and Joan Mitchell, as well as with the inner curatorial circle of the Metropolitan Museum of Art; she even collaborated with Andy Warhol on illustrations for the now defunct Bonwit Teller department store. Under the tutelage of Milton Avery, she developed her talent for making monotype prints—some of which were presented and awarded a gold medal at the Iran Pavilion during the 1958 Venice Biennale.
She returned to her native country to marry, and continued making art, combining her interpretations of Minimalism and Abstract Expressionism with the time-honored crafts she found at home. A visit to the Shah Cheraq Shrine in Shiraz provided an epiphany: "Imagine stepping inside the center of a diamond and staring at the sun," says Farmanfarmaian of the experience. The plumes of mirrored hexagons on its crystalline ceilings became the inspiration for the lustrous sculptural mosaics for which Farmanfarmaian has come to be best known and which she continues to make to this day.
Two decades after her return, she found herself exiled a second time because her husband—a prince and a direct descendant of Qajar-era shahs—was deemed an enemy of the Islamic Revolution. She resettled in Iran in 2003 after her husband's death, beginning a new and extremely prolific chapter of her career, with recent shows in London, Sao Paolo, and Geneva, that have been consistently hailed by critics as some of her best.
This adventurous life, and a body of work that is both visually gorgeous and thought-provoking, is the subject of a new monograph, Monir Shahroudy Farmanfarmaian: Cosmic Geometry (Damiani Editore & The Third Line). Through interviews, photographs of her family and work, poetry, and narrative passages—some written by such friends as the artists Frank Stella and Shirin Neshat—Monir details the artist's blend of Eastern and Western influences, including ancient Sufi geometric aesthetics and centuries-old Safavid- and Qajar-era decorative traditions.
"Although she uses very old techniques, she is always oriented with her vision of the future," says Hans Ulrich Obrist, codirector of London's Serpentine Gallery and the coeditor of Monir. "From the beginning her incredible energy really struck me, and also her ability to still produce really fresh, relevant new work, which is among the best of her lifetime."
"Whatever time I have left, I want to make art," adds Farmanfarmaian, speaking from her Tehran studio. "And I hope it will be worthwhile to see it."
Monir Shahroudy Farmanfarmaian: Cosmic Geometry will be published on October 31 by Damiani Editore & The Third Line; artbook.com.

Gadhafi, Under Attack, Has History of Digging In
Moammar Gadhafi earlier this month in Tripoli, where he warned against outside interference in Libya's affairs.

Updated March 22, 2011 12:01 am ET
TRIPOLI, Libya—Inside Col. Moammar Gadhafi's Bab Azizya residential complex, where a building was struck this weekend by coalition fighter jets, stands another, older ruin.
It is a previous home of Col. Gadhafi, struck by U.S. airstrikes in 1986 after Libya was implicated in a deadly Berlin discotheque bombing. The damaged home has been kept intact as a "house of perseverance" and a monument to Libyan defiance against the attack. In front stands a statue of a fist crushing a U.S. fighter plane. It was here, when Libya's anti-Gadhafi demonstrations first turned violent, that Col. Gadhafi angrily rallied his supporters on television to pursue his enemies "from house to house."
The coalition airstrikes against Libyan military targets that started this weekend were aimed at preventing Col. Gadhafi from finishing off opposition groups in the east and in other pockets around Libya. Among the targets hit was a building in Bab Azizya, Col. Gadhafi's residence-cum-military barrack, that officials said was used for administrative purposes.
If Col. Gadhafi's past serves as a guide, the international attacks will set the leader's resolve to fight back at any cost against enemies inside the country and out. "The more you challenge him, the more he'll dig in," said George Joffe, a Libya expert at Cambridge University.
The offensive also appears to have fed Col. Gadhafi's view of himself as a champion of the masses across the world.


Also free of charge, it turned out, were the services of the child actors, identical twin girls from a village in a valley in south-eastern Slovakia. Their mother, Melita Tothova, agreed to lead them to the pope on his dais, explaining later, "We're Catholic, even if we don't go to church very often". At an open-air mass in nearby Roznava the pope was presented with dolls dressed in traditional Slovakian costumes by the pretty blond five-year-old girls.
The little girls had been born as Siamese twins, joined at the hip. When they were only a month old they underwent the first of the operations needed to separate them and to correct deformities in several organs. Eight rounds of surgery were required to reconstruct their tiny bodies.
The mediaeval village of Roznava has a central square, protected by solid rows of houses, originally meant to house cattle in times of danger. But this was far too small for the huge crowds that came to hear the pope, estimated by the Church at 100,000. Instead they assembled on a hillside just outside the town.
Their mother protested afterwards at what she felt was the "instrumentalisation" of her children by the Church. She claimed that "Catholic priests came to ask us if we wanted to show our daughters to the pope. They said nothing about abortion."

The Valencia Firebats are a gridiron team based in Valencia, Valencian Community (Spain).

History
The team was established in April, 1993, as Valencia Bats, joining the defunct American Football League (AFL) for the 1994 season. The following season a new national league is created in Spain, divided in two divisions, First and Second. Valencia Bats are invited to compete in the First Division, where they have been playing ever since.

In the 2002 season, the team makes his first appearance in the EFAF Cup, in the same group with Badalona Dracs (Spain) and Ostia Marines (Italy).

2006 was a remarkable season, as the team won their first national bowl, beating L'Hospitalet Pioners and qualifying for the first time for the European Football League, where they met Bergamo Lions (Italy) and Tirol Raiders (Austria) in the 2007 season.

They won the Spanish bowl again on the next season, 2007, against Badalona Dracs this time. Once again, they qualified as national champions for the European Football League. This time, rivals were Coventry Jets (UK) and Oslo Vikings (Norway).

In the 2008 season, for third time in a row, they played the |Spanish bowl, being defeated by L'Hospitalet Pioners, but qualifying for their third European Football League, where they faced the Bolzano Giants (Italy) and the Braunschweig Lions (Germany) in 2009.

In 2009 they faced their 4th Spanish bowl, beating the Badalona Dracs in a tough game and clinched a berth again for the EFL in 2010, where they met Bergamo Lions (Italy) and the Elancourt Templiers (France) in their group, which they won. In the Quarterfinals they lost 55–13 against the title holder Swarco Raiders Tirol.

From 2014 to 2016 they made the national final three times in a row winning the title in 2015.

Are you aware that the wires located on the exterior of your home have value?
Watch what you say on social media. In the era of constant Twitter and Fb updates, it is simple to develop into too lax on what you share. No matter how excited you might be about your upcoming trip, social media shouldn't be the place to broadcast your journey. It's too simple for someone who is not a good friend to study of your plans, permitting them to break in when they know you're away.
Be sure to not use your birthday as the password on your door lock's numeric key pad. Private data, akin to a birthday might be acquired on the Web. If you use this as your password, it's possible you'll make it easy for a burglar to rob you. Use a random quantity instead. If you are a feminine and living alone, it is understandable that you may really feel afraid about home invasions. People are extra prone to try to reap the benefits of girls. Strive putting a pair of huge, muddy boots on your front step to give the looks of a person staying in the house.
Every bit of wiring to your alarm system must be effectively hidden or else will probably be simple to cut. When installing a system yourself, that is vital to remember. Tuck it away inside partitions in order that no one can get at it to shut the system down. Comparison shop when you are ready to buy a home safety system. Totally different companies can present equivalent levels of service and safety, however their prices can range wildly. Make certain and get a minimum of three quotes from completely different corporations prior to choosing one.
Think about whether your glass door panels may enable burglars into your property. It is easy for thieves to break the glass panels in order that they will reach into the house and open the door. If in case you have doorways with glass panels, they should be secured utilizing deadbolts that require entry with a key, changed, or fortified. The supplies of your home must be fireplace resistant. Your house will get added safety, especially if your setting is dry and has energy traces. Stopping fireplace hazards is a key precaution to take because the harm it causes might be appreciable.
Don't ignore the gossip. There aren't many people who will come as much as your dog to analyze if it has a key on its collar. If your garage lifts up on a track, attempt utilizing a C-clamp.

APARTMENTS in a major residential development set to transform Penrith are selling like hot cakes – even though they haven't hit the market yet.
These off-the-plan units will form a monumental $500 million project known as East Side Quarter, which will see 11 buildings sprout in Retreat Ave, ranging from four to 15 storeys.
In addition to panoramic views of the Blue Mountains, the new estate will offer a resort-style pool deck, play areas for children and a retail laneway.
Neighbouring the East Side Quarter site is the Penrith Panthers Leagues Club and entertainment precinct.
For this reason, the idea was pitched to the Panthers board and has since been welcomed, according to Andrew James, chief executive of developer CABE.
Mr James said all club members were offered an early chance to snap up stage one's 152 units.
"We have gone out to them over the past week and in that time we have had over 50 per cent of the apartments pre-sold. The local market has been crying out for this level of development," he said. "There has been a healthy mix of buyers but downsizers have certainly shown strong interest." The units are a mix of one-, two- and three-bedroom designs and start at $400,000. When finished, ESQ will span more than 6.5ha. There will be 850 units and 3500 sqm of retail.
There will also be a lakefront dining precinct, wellness centre and regional play areas.
The units will officially hit the market next month.
East Side Quarter is a monumental $500 million residential project coming to the heart of Penrith.

Najib's former deputy hit with new graft charges in Malaysia
Issued on: 26/06/2019 - 07:40
Kuala Lumpur (AFP)
Malaysia's former deputy premier under scandal-plagued ex-leader Najib Razak was hit with seven fresh corruption charges Wednesday for allegedly receiving about $3 million in bribes.
Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, now an opposition leader who was a key figure in the former regime, has now been charged with a total of 54 counts of corruption since his long-ruling coalition lost power last year.
The latest charges relate to allegations that he received Sg$4.2 million ($3.1 million) in 2017 and 2018 from a company in exchange for extending their contract to issue visas.
Ahmad Zahid pleaded not guilty to all counts during a court appearance in Kuala Lumpur and was freed on bail. If found guilty, the 66-year-old faces a lengthy jail term.
He has denied all previous charges levelled at him.
He is also set to face a further 33 charges in court Thursday for allegedly receiving $10 million in kickbacks, according to the anti-graft agency.
The veteran politician is president of the United Malays National Organisation (UMNO), the lynchpin in a coalition of parties that ruled Malaysia from independence in 1957 until their shock defeat in May polls.
But he has been placed on leave since he was first charged in October.
Najib has also been arrested and charged over allegations he oversaw the plundering of state fund 1MDB, a scandal that played a major part in the election defeat.
He has been on trial over the allegations since April.
US authorities say more than $4.5 billion was misappropriated from the fund and spent on everything from yachts to artwork.

As January comes to a close, several states, particularly in the Midwest, are experiencing their coldest temperatures in decades. The freezing temperatures have caused schools and businesses to shut down, and there could be deadly consequences for those caught outdoors in the subzero weather—homeless people especially are at risk. The Weather Channel reports that Midwestern cities like Chicago, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, and Madison will be hit the hardest in this deep freeze. Many places across the region are set to experience their lowest temperatures in more than 20 years, with wind chills causing the temperature to dip as low as 60 degrees below zero in some places.
According to the Chicago Coalition for the Homeless, about 80,000 homeless people are currently living in Chicago. The city plans to add 500 shelter beds through this week. Two 24-hour warming centers have been opened, and four pre-existing warming centers have extended hours. Police stations, libraries, and park facilities are also doubling as warming centers. The Detroit Free Press reports that Detroit has four warming centers available. Additionally, several libraries and recreation centers will provide people with shelter from the brutal weather.
If you know or see someone who is homeless, helping them find a warming center can be a good course of action. In Chicago, you can dial 311 to locate a center or visit www.keepwarmillinois.gov, which has information about warming centers across the state. In Detroit, you should contact the Buildings, Safety Engineering, and Environmental Department (BSEED) at 313-628-2451. According to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, in Wisconsin, you should call 211 or visit it online for information about warming centers.
Lyft is also offering free rides to warming centers in Chicago, Detroit, Milwaukee, Minneapolis-St. Paul, and Madison.
Donating directly to shelters or to charities offering warming centers is one of the best ways to help the homeless right now. In Minnesota, HOPE 4 Youth and The Bridge for Youth are two nonprofits offering shelter to young people during the freezing weather. Some organizations have wish lists that you can check if you want to give supplies. Otherwise, donating money is always a good option. Check with shelters or charities where you live to see what they need.
Of course, this list is far from exhaustive, but it's a place to start. Stay safe, everyone.

I have just returned 'home' from a quick trip 'home'. And, in case the inflection is unclear, what appears an unusually clumsy sentence is, in fact, a clarification of my new way of perceiving the concept of belonging (and non-belonging) here and there. I am home - both in Australia and the USA - and this most recent trip has cemented (for me) that concept into fact.
For some reason I can't fathom, I have been forgetting to post new artworks to this blog - so here to begin are some beaded pieces completed in the last year or two.
Now the push is on - to finish my thesis/artworks in time for submission in August. Amazingly, it all seems to be coming together.
Long time catching up my dear. These pieces as I have repeatedly gushed to you are incredible, mind-blowing, and somehow speak so deeply to me that my limbic brain gives a twitch. Next trip to the US: Me.You. No matter what.
My name is Elena; I have been searching for pictures from Gerhardt Munthe's art. I have seen you have a pic of his illustrations from a folksong called Asmun Froedegjaevar on your blog.
Please, I need more pictures from this. Could you help me?

Cristiano Ronaldo made a comical mistake as he tried to express appreciation for Saudi Arabia at his unveiling with Al-Nassr on Tuesday.
WHAT HAPPENED? As can be seen in the below clip around the 45-second mark, Ronaldo said "for me it's not the end of my career to come to South Africa."
In fairness to him, however, he had correctly said Saudi Arabia earlier in the news conference.

No eaglets? Experts wondering if Lansing nest was unsuccessful
Lansing State Journal
LANSING – Several experts are wondering whether a pair of nesting bald eagles near Potter Park Zoo have failed to hatch their eggs and are in the process of abandoning the nest.
"By now, you would think there would be signs of some success," said Bruce Cohen, president of the Capital Area Audubon Society, adding that no one has reported signs of eaglets hatching.
Cohen said he didn't see either of the nesting pair during a 30-minute visit to the area on Friday and that other local birdwatchers also failed to find the birds during recent visits.
"It certainly appears the nest has been abandoned," he said in an email. "If so, it's hard to know if is was due to disturbance, defective eggs or some other factors."
The questions come as Potter Park Zoo officials have created an area where the public can watch the eagles' nest without disturbing the birds.
For weeks, observers have been flocking to the riverbank to watch the nest, located in a tree on a marshy island in the Red Cedar River. A few of them have done things that could disturb the birds and cause them to abandon their nest, zoo officials said.
The officials didn't describe specific incidents but said loud noises, flying drones or people getting too close to the nest could make the birds feel threatened. It's illegal in the U.S. to shoot bald eagles or disturb their nests.
The zoo's viewing area is near the zoo parking lot and offers a clear line of sight to the nest, zoo officials said in a news release. The area is patrolled by zoo security, they said.
It might be for naught, if what some experts are reporting is true. Observers have begun to think the nesting attempt has failed.
Dave Best, a retired U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service biologist who still collects data on bald eagles, said he visited the area late last week and didn't see either of the nesting pair. It was a cold day, and at least one of the birds should have been on the nest if there were eggs or young to incubate, he said.
Best said he suspects the nest has been abandoned but can't say for sure.
"Just because people are not seeing adults in the immediate area doesn't necessarily mean this nest is abandoned," he said.
And biologist Christopher Hull appeared on the WKAR radio show Current State on Thursday and said he, too, suspects the eagles were unsuccessful in hatching eggs and are in the process of abandoning the nest. Hull said he has watched the nest closely.
"By all indications, by February 8th they were incubating," he said. Given that date, the pair should have hatched eaglets before now, he said.
Hull said a nesting pair would continue to tend unhatched eggs for some time before moving on, but suspects the female eagle, at least, may have done so. He also said chainsaws used to cut tree limbs for the zoo's viewing area may have distressed the female, who typically would be less tolerant of disruptions.
Hull said eagles have been visible in the Lansing area for years now and are accustomed to people. But nesting requires greater seclusion, he said. Asked by Current State host Mark Bashore whether the eagle pair could nest here in the future, Hull said they could return to the current nest or seek a more secluded spot, perhaps somewhere like Crego Park.
Best said he's aware of several possible disturances at the nest site, including canoeists and kayakers getting too close and someone flying a drone in the area. Someone also built an improvised ground blind near the nest, he said.
But if the eagles have abandoned the nest, it's hard to know exactly why, he said. The Potter Park pair appear to be young birds, and nesting success for inexperienced pairs is low for the first year or two, he said.
Zoo staff worked with the U.S Fish & Wildlife Service, Michigan Department of Natural Resources and parks officials from Lansing and Ingham County in creating the viewing area. Officials are asking that anyone who sees questionable behavior call zoo security at 230-3790.

One of the best ways to succeed in college is to be a part of a study group.
Typically a study group is a student-led group that meets regularly to discuss coursework, collaborate on various problems and issues, and offer different perspectives on the class.
The ARC can help you connect with other students to create Study Groups. Just come in to our center to place a Study Group request. We'll create a sign-up sheet and help you organize times and locations. Depending on availability, we can even schedule to have one of our tutors visit your Study Group periodically to help clarify course content.
Want to join or begin a Study Group?
Just fill out our Study Group Application (coming soon) or drop by the ARC (Pratt 110) to request a study group. We'll create a sign-up sheet so other students can join. Join or begin a Study Group today!


Every year, there is an experiential learning class at the college I graduated from where they do a real world scenario setting up a fictitious company's IT department. Servers, switches, routers, firewalls, etc. The fun thing for the alumni, is that we get to practice some of our network penetration skills.
A few years back, I was fortunate enough to have a group of students leave a few gaping holes open on their network, and decided to teach them a valuable lesson about how a likely targeted attack will happen: social engineering.
I used an authority figure (the teacher) to lure them to a website where I phished their credentials. At the time, it wasn't working as well as I had wanted it to, but gave it a shot anyway. I purchased a similar domain, sent an email from the "teacher" complaining about problems with OWA. Sure enough, I had a bite. It wasn't just a normal user, it was the domain administrator. After that, it was game on. At the time, I didn't even capture usernames. The only thing I had was the password.
That bring us to today. I decided to improve my phishing skills a bit, and we'll see how it goes.
First step was getting a mirror copy of the OWA web page. For this, I used a freely available website download tool.
From there, I dived into the source code of the page. The main thing that needed to be changed was the form action to post to a PHP file I created.
In the same directory you put your spoofed OWA page, you need to create an insert1.php file. Below is the source code I used (minus database information). Nice thing about this is the prepared statements prevent a SQL injection attack, in case the students wanted to get some backlash at me. Notice at the bottom of the code, it redirects to the real OWA. A feature that was requested the last time I attempted this.
This is the majority of the setup. I also added a php file to display the contents of this database.
After this, you'll have to setup your MySQL database. I setup mine with the ID (indexed record identifier, auto incrementing), Username, Password, IP, and Time. I believe the timestamp is created automatically by MySQL.
Now I'm at the fun part. I've purchased the domain soiarsystems-it.com. I'll change the case on the I to make it look like an l, and I'll send a few emails to students pretending to be the teacher complaining about certificate errors on the OWA website (there really are since the page is pulling SSL data from their website).
The main reason for this post is I'll include a link to it in the source code so the students can know they've been had (assuming they view the page source). I'll use my custom URL shortener so I can track who clicks it.
So far, they don't have anything wide open port wise, which is good. The idea is that if I get usernames and passwords, I'll see what I can do once I get a hold of an email account on OWA.


With training camp less than three weeks away and their first preseason game set for Oct. 8, the Minnesota Timberwolves still are waiting to hear from veteran forward Kevin Garnett on his decision to play in 2016-17 or to retire.
Garnett, whose contact not just with media but also Wolves management is limited in the offseason, is under contract for $8 million to play this season. From that standpoint, no news is good news — or at least status quo. If Garnett does play, it would be his 22nd NBA season.
Garnett — the only player in NBA history with at least 25,000 points, 10,000 rebounds, 5,000 assists, 1,500 steals and 1,500 blocks — played in only 38 games last season due to chronic knee pain, averaging 3.2 points, 3.9 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 14.6 minutes. His career numbers: 17.8 ppg, 10.0 rpg, 3.7 apg and 34.5 mpg.
Tom Thibodeau, the Wolves' new coach and president of basketball operations, told NBA.com Wednesday at the coaches meetings in Chicago that discussions on Garnett's status still are between Taylor and the player.
