Google Glass brings all of the functionality of a smartphone to a lightweight pair of glasses. The concept is called augmented reality. Looking through the head-mounted display, you see your normal world, but also a small high-definition screen in the upper-right corner of your vision. While wearing Google Glass, you can use voice commands and gestures to take photos and videos of what you are seeing, launch a Google Hangout (video chat) with friends, conduct a Google search, get directions, chat using voice-totext and even translate a conversation in real-time. Google Glass won't be released to the public until 2014, but developers have already created apps to provide hands-free recipes in the kitchen and to browse headlines from The New York Times.

La La Land would have beaten Birdman.
"Call Me By Your Name" might suffer the same fate; hard to tell if this film is going to actually hit big, or if oscar pundits just live in a big gay bubble.
Posthumous Oscar nomination/win for John Hurt?
I knew I wasn't the only one who thought that when looking at The Darkest Hour. An obvious nomination for Gary Oldman is also possible I think.
I wonder if they'll try to go with something like O.J. Made in America to be cute.
His Helen Mirren movie is essential viewing.
But he's out of control in that as much as in every other one of his movies. Not a fan at all.
Oldman is the male Glenn Close without the multiple nominations. The world chose Streep over Close. The same as Day-Lewis being chosen over Oldman.
What's the maximum/minimum number of Oscars each film can win?
It shows in her acting.
Any special screenings of 'Son of Saul' in UK before April?
I haven't seen Carol so I don't know about each actress' screentime, but do you think Cate will go lead while Rooney will go supporting for the Oscars so they won't compete against one another?
Thanks for posting that, I enjoyed reading it.

Q: Azure to Azure Site recovery doesn't delete NIC on re-protect We are using Azure to Azure Site Recovery for our Virtual Machines, but when we fail them over and re-protect, the Virtual Machines are cleaned up (removed), but the NIC still remains (and still has the Static IP associated with it).  How do we clean up the VM?
As a bit of background we use a script to associate Public IP to the NIC when failing over based on this: https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/Add-Public-IP-and-NSG-to-a6bb8fee
Is it possible the fact we change the NIC (associate NSG and Public IP) means that azure doesn't delete it?
How can we delete it automatically?  I can't see a way to run a post-script on re-protect.

I've also got a start date in September (4th) and started panicking as I'd handed my notice in to my current employer and hadn't signed any official contracts so thought they might turn around and say 'we no longer need you' or something along those lines!
But the other day I received an email requesting my Disclosure Scotland, references etc. so I assume it's a definite now?
As long as everything comes back clean then yeah, you should have received an email with a contract and you just click accept.
Have you been told you are definitely getting van first week then?
I emailed T and he said we were by the end of the 1st week depending on availability.
Hoping my goretex turns up today!
Yeah that was me at the end, Waited for all you fellas to get your bits done. Whatever happened to ladies first haha.
I have been emailing with Chris for the last week, he confirmed that i will get van end of first week as long as i pass the driving test.
I couldnt believe how many wanted to know the roles, i thought everyone would have already known!
Haha I know yeah! Yeah I just asked about travel to Bolton as my mrs uses our car etc for work/childcare so needed to make sure. That's good then, looks likely we will get them! Although not sure about the assessment as never driven a van before, although I am a safe driver and sound with manoeuvres.
Whereabouts are you coming from?
I am travelling from reading on the train. So i will be in stone around 7.10pm.
I would have preferred to drive personally. that way i can listen to my [censored] music and smoke like a chimney.
I haven't driven a van either and im guessing a lot will be in the same boat.
I will be travelling up to bolton on the sunday evening and i was told that from when we get our vans they are to be used for all travelling.
I work in a school currently so it should come back clean!
Oh, the offer of employment is the contract? Yes I've signed that!
Yup so you are all set, congrats!!!

New Baptist
Easter Service 2008. Our first service.
In February of 2008, after much prayer, Twentieth Street Baptist and Beverly Hill Baptist joined together to become one church. Not always an easy task, the two congregations coming together was helped by historical ties. Beverly Hills Baptist started as a church plant of Twentieth Street Baptist and Baptist Temple. We bought an abandoned ice skating rink as our new location with the prayer "Ok God, what would you have us do?" Since then we have grown, and we continue to grow as a community of faith, passionate about our Lord.
New Baptist remains affiliated with the Guyandotte Baptist Association, the West Virginia Baptist Convention and American Baptist Churches USA.
We are a blended church, worshiping in a traditional/contemporary style. In any service you may hear songs and music from the old-time Baptist song book or the top-20 contemporary Christian music countdown.
What you wear is less important than the fact that you are here with us, worshiping and learning about our Lord and Savior. On any Sunday, you may see people in three-piece suits or dresses, hats and gloves, worshiping beside of those in jeans or shorts and tennis shoes or sandals. Just wear what you have and come worship with us. What we believe
Twentieth Street Baptist
In 1888, the Fifth Avenue Baptist Church of Huntington organized a mission Sunday School which met at Twentieth Street and Fifth Avenue. On March 14, 1892, a meeting was called to complete the organization of the Twentieth Street Baptist Church, with 143 charter members. At that time, the Church property consisted of a frame building on two lots valued at $2000.
Early pastors were the Revs. A. G. Loving, W. D. Ellsworth, W. J. Cooke, and B. F. Caudill. A red brick building was erected during Dr. Caudill's pastorate.
Dr. Caudill was followed by Dr. J. J. Cook and the Rev. C. E. Griffin, who remained until 1922 when he resigned to help organize the Baptist Temple. Other churches which we helped organize were: Highlawn, Walnut Hills, Beverly Hills, and Pea Ridge Baptist churches.
Ground was broken for the final building May, 1926. During the years of the Great Depression, hot meals were cooked and sold, quilts were made and sold, and ice cream socials held. The money thus raised kept the Church from defaulting on its mortgage though at one time we were six months behind in paying the pastor's salary.
In 1936, Dr. Cornelius Bowles became pastor. During his tenure, the City of Huntington was hit with two massive floods putting our first floor under water.
Dr. Joseph Hakes was followed by Dr. William Fox pastored the Church in the 40s. During WWII, we had 125 men and women who served in the armed forces of our country. Five gold stars were placed in our service flag.
In 1952, the Church voted to erect a new educational building next door to the main building. In 1956, Dr. Fox resigned and in March, 1957, the Rev. A. Melvin Hyers became pastor. He retired in 1970, and Dr. Neil W. Hoppe came to us November, 1971.
There were only three times the doors were not open for services: once during the flood of 1913, once during the 1937 flood, and January 22, 1978, due to extreme and unusually heavy snow. Our Men's Radio Broadcast still went on, however. Five brave souls showed up to run it.
In March, 1992, we celebrated our Centennial with the opening of the Church cornerstone.
The Rev. Paul Fulks became pastor in 1992 followed in August, 1995 by the Rev. Don Walker. In February, 2008 we joined with Beverly Hills Baptist Church to become New Baptist Church.
Beverly Hills Baptist
Beverly Hills Baptist Church began as a missionary endeavor of the West Virginia Baptist Convention, upon the belief that there was a pressing need for a Baptist Church in the rapidly developing southeasterly portion of the City of Huntington. Baptist families residing in the area were surveyed to determine whether they would be willing to leave the churches of which they were members to start a new church.
In response, on September 21, 1947, thirty-one persons gathered at Peyton Elementary School and expressed interest in establishing a Baptist Church. In the following weeks they met regularly for worship at Peyton School and in the gymnasium at Gallaher Elementary School where, on February 8, 1948, the Beverly Hills Baptist Church was officially organized, with twenty-two charter members.
Rev. J. Cecil Jones served as temporary pastor until Rev. Stanley Beaumont was called and installed as first permanent pastor on January 1, 1949. That year, land for a building site was purchased at Linden Circle and North Terrace and on September 21, 1950, the first level of an educational unit was completed. Other additions to the educational unit were completed in 1952 and 1957, and the long anticipated permanent sanctuary was completed and dedicated in 1975.
The church grew in spirit and in numbers under the leadership of nine dedicated pastors until on February 1, 2008, in a giant leap of faith, Beverly Hills Baptist Church and Twentieth Street Baptist Church united to form New Baptist Church.

Q: Do quantum fields interact in a vacuum state? Interacting quantum fields (for example, electromagnetic and electron-positron) in a vacuum state (without real particles) continue to interact, or become free?

A: The dynamics of the theory do not depend on the state. So if the Hamiltonian contains interaction terms, these terms are still there in a vacuum.
Here's a way you could quantify the effect of the interactions. Imagine you need to compute a 2-point correlation function between a field $\phi_1$ at spacetime point $\{x_1,t_1\}$ and $\phi_2$ at $\{x_2,t_2\}$ in the vacuum state. If we work in the Heisenberg picture, we will need to use the full interacting Hamiltonian to evolve $t_1$ to $t_2$ to compare the fields at the same time. Explicitly, the correlator can be written as
\begin{equation}
\langle 0 | \phi_1(x_1,t_1) \phi_2(x_2,t_2) | 0 \rangle = \langle 0 | U(t_1,t_2)^\dagger \phi_1(x_1,t_2) U(t_1,t_2) \phi_2(x_2,t_2) | 0 \rangle
\end{equation}
where $U(t_1,t_2)$ is the time evolution operator
\begin{equation}
U(t_1,t_2) = T e^{- i \int_{t_1}^{t_2} Ht}
\end{equation}
where $T$ is the time ordering symbol, and $H$ is the full interacting Hamiltonian including all interaction terms.

Nigeria and Kenya has kicked off massive tourism marketing campaigns in West Africa by launching travel trade training sessions in different regions of Ghana and Nigeria.
Kenya Tourism Board (KTB) says the two countries have shown all the indications of contributing to the Kenya's tourism growth as Kenya turns to emerging markets and the Africa region for more tourists.
"West Africa is potential to us and this is the beginning of our efforts to tapping into the market that has high spenders with willingness to spend" says KTB Regional Marketing Manager Fred Okeyo during the launch of travel trade training and media engagement programs underway in the cities of Ghana and Nigeria.
KTB is training about 200 travel agents in West Africa as well as media engagement programs in a bid to equip them with information on Kenya's tourism products.
Last year Ghana and Nigeria recorded about 23,000 arrivals to Kenya, a figure KTB says will be increased significantly soon as a result of aggressive marketing being put in place.
Besides holiday leisure, education, conferencing and medical tourism are becoming key tourism products attracting Nigerians to Kenya.
Kenya High Commissioner to Nigeria Tom Amolo says assurance about the safety of destination is one of the key messages the Embassy will be pitching during the ongoing Kenya at 50 celebrations.
"We have continued to reassure the market of Kenya's safety and her conducive business for tourism business and other economic activities" says the Ambassador.
Kenya Airways sales manager in charge of Nigeria Diran Oloyede said the airline will launch a direct flight from Abuja direct to Nairobi early next year so as to handle the expected increase of travelers to Kenya.
"With these marketing activities by KTB, we will expect interest of travelers to Kenya and the launch of direct flight to Nairobi will come in handy" says the manager.
Currently Kenya airways airline operates Nigeria through Lagos ten times a week. At the moment passengers from Abuja are forced to fly to Lagos to catch Kenya airways flight direct to Nairobi.
Travelers have termed the introduction of direct flight from Abuja to Nairobi as a major Milestone in easing access to Kenya.

In return for a federal infusion of well over $50 billion, the government took a 61 percent ownership stake. The Canadian government received 10 percent ownership for its financial assistance, and the United Auto Workers received 17.5 percent ownership in return for major concessions and a two-tier salary scale starting at $14 an hour.
GM's CEO Edward E. Whitacre Jr., former CEO of AT&T, agrees. In recent weeks, he has been telling the press that GM is losing sales because of its moniker "Government Motors." Not known for his graciousness, he did not add that without the government a bankrupt General Motors would not have any sales at all.
There are serious consequences for Obama's absentee management style. First, he did not prohibit GM from lobbying, as was required for the bailouts of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. As a major member of the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers, GM has been part of a lobbying force that seeks to weaken auto safety legislation now moving through the House and the Senate. Historically, GM has been the most strident in its opposition to mandatory pollution control, fuel efficiency and safety standards. The company's strategy for decades has been to defeat, delay or weaken efforts to clean your air, safeguard your motor vehicle and get you more miles per gallon of gasoline.
Moreover, GM's recovery is just beginning. It has cut its costs very significantly so that its breakeven mark is at a low production volume by historical standards. Starting from nearly rock bottom sales volume, GM is making money in the U.S. and booming in China. So why would Obama want to sell the government's share so early when waiting a couple of years will make a nice profit for the taxpayers and, in the meantime, restrain GM's opposition to innovation-driven regulations for the health, safety and economic well-being of consumers?
Now, consider ShoreBank's predicament. This bank broke ground since its founding in 1973 by providing loans for lower-income homebuyers, apartment building owners and small businesses. Year after year, this community bank proved it could make money by opening up markets that the big banks chose to red-line in Chicago and later in Detroit and Cleveland. Hundreds of articles and news reports heralded its success.
Then the Wall Street-produced recession struck the country. Through little fault of its own, many of its hard-pressed lower-income debtors began to miss or default on their loans. ShoreBank started to register losses–$119 million in 2009. Unlike the big banks, ShoreBank did not deal in risky speculative derivatives—like credit default swaps, collaterized debt obligations or subprime mortgage lending.
Washington is drawn irresistibly to bail out the big banks' wildly speculative, toxic paper investments with no redeeming social value. George W. Bush took the taxpayers to levels of corporate welfare beyond the dreams of corporate avarice.
Neil M. Barofsky, the valiant special inspector general for the Treasury Department's Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) reported that the giant AIG bailout ($182 billion) gave its trading partners—bonus-rich Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch, Societe Generale and other banks—100 cents on the dollar for their notorious credit default swaps. Had AIG defaulted, it would have been a fraction of that sum.
The community bank has raised $150 million in pledges from several Wall Street firms—a little p.r. redemption here—and it needs $75 million in TARP funds from the Obama administration.


Blend this mixture together well in the tub. Massage the cellulite problem areas while they under the water.
Those dimples on your hips, thighs, stomach and buttocks are actually pockets of fat that are very unsightly. The causes of cellulite can be anything from poor circulation and a lack of oxygen to water retention or hormonal changes. It could be related to anything from poor lymph drainage to menstrual cycle problems. Whatever the cause of your cellulite, there are several things you can do to lessen or eliminate it from your body.
Treatment for cellulite is not easy and may be a lifelong struggle if it runs in your family genetically. There are some things you can do whatever the cause of your cellulite. The first thing to do when you attack cellulite is to pay attention to your diet. You may be able to reverse that cellulite by changing your diet. Eat lots of fresh vegetables, buy free-range chickens, turkeys and eggs, organically grown whole grain bread, pulses (beans) and rice. Drink only spring water, fruit juices and herb teas. Do not eat dairy products from cows and cut out any fermented foods. Do eat raw cabbage. It is the best food in the world to eliminate toxins from your body.
Here are four anti-cellulite essential oil synergistic blends. You can try two oils that you already have or two that you wish to try. I usually use the blend that smells the best to me. My favorite of these blends is the rosemary and juniper blend but sage and patchouli are also nice. Whichever you choose, remember to massage your cellulite areas while they are under water. For all of these blends, use the following proportions for use in the future or use the quantity below for two baths. Use only 6 drops per bath.
Tomorrow we will discuss a plan of action against cellulite.
When you finish your anti-cellulite bath, you are ready for an anti-cellulite massage. It is important to use the correct base oil for the anti-cellulite massage oil formulas below. You will need 2 tablespoons of almond oil plus 5 drops of carrot oil and 5 drops of jojoba oil. You can always multiply your recipe for the carrier and essential oils.
When it comes to choosing anti-aging moisturizers, sometimes people make some serious mistakes. This can start from the moment they are buying to the point of application.

It's a late post, but here are the February daily draws.
The second was an illustration requested by my dad, which was actually a fun challenge inspired by Ross Tran's redraws (my dad drew a concept, and I reinterpreted it using my "style").
March's daily drawings will be a little late. I'm still playing catch-up since I spent a couple of weeks not drawing anything as I stressed over some life changes happening on the work front. That's all over and done with now. The sketching is slowly coming back.

Clack-clack-clack – the little wooden shuttle flies back and forth to the rhythmic clatter of the loom. 'Coordination is the most difficult part,' says Colette Traoré. As she steps on a pedal with her right foot, the taut warp threads separate to create a gap. Her right hand pulls a cord and the shuttle shoots through. A spool pays out the thread, Traoré pulls it tight with her left arm. She is 42 years old and has spent half her life as a weaver.
In Ségou, northeast of the capital Ba-mako, she now has her own business. Her 10 employees call her 'Tanti'. This afternoon Traoré has put on her best clothes. Her elaborately embroidered blue robe and the gold around her neck contrast starkly with the grey walls. There is pride in her appearance – pride born of success. 'I'm the boss here,' she says.
Entrepreneur Colette Traoré from Mali pulls all the strings in her weaving business.
In Mali, 66 per cent of the population live in poverty, and women are particularly vulnerable. They are prepared for their role as housewives from a young age. Instead of going to school, girls are often required to help out at home. 69 per cent of women aged between 15 and 24 are unable to read or write. Entrepreneurs like Colette Traoré are an exception. That is why her story is one of triumph over a society in which men have the say. Having grown up with five brothers and a sister, Colette Traoré started work when she was just 12, picking stones out of the cotton her mother would spin into fine thread. Even today, Traoré cannot write. 'I had to learn a skill of some sort in order to survive,' she explains. At 17 she applied to a textile factory to train as a weaver. The trainer rejected her: 'You'll never do it. You're a woman.'
Apprenticeship as a weaver
Traoré eventually found a mentor to support her application, a village elder whom the trainer respected. And so she took up her apprenticeship, surrounded by men who kept telling her she was not suited to the job. When the six months were up, she was the only one out of the group of apprentices who had not dropped out. Despite the pain in her arms and shoulders. 'Today my foreman says I was his best pupil,' says Traoré, laughing and clapping. There is a hint of satisfaction at her male colleagues' expense.
On completing her training, Traoré rented a loom and sold her textile products at the market. In 2004 she joined forces with other female artisans to form the co-operative Affat. Together they bought their first loom. They used this to make fabrics which local sewing shops would turn into clothes and bed linen. Business was good. Affat was the place to go if you needed a wedding dowry. And it was popular among tourists too.
Funding for small and medium-sized enterprises run by women
Then, suddenly, in 2012 war broke out in Mali. It was a major setback for the country's economic development. Affat survived, although the tourists stayed away. Today Traoré even sells her fabrics to buyers outside Mali, in Sierra Leone for example. She has received support from GIZ on behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development and the European Union. Its activities seek to stimulate business at the local level, with a key focus on strengthening the efforts and creativity of women in particular. Funding is therefore provided to small and medium-sized enterprises run by women – including Colette Traoré's weaving business. Special courses are organised to teach participants how to register a business, do the bookkeeping or apply for a micro loan. Marketing is also an important element of the course, since it helps the women to widen their customer base in the long term.
As a result of these measures, Traoré has had the opportunity to take part in trade fairs in Bamako and neighbouring Senegal. Furthermore, her weaving business has received financial support. This means she has also been able to buy a new handloom to process a greater volume of textiles.
Thanks to this support, her weaving business has doubled annual profits from around EUR 1,500 to EUR 3,000. Traoré now takes home up to EUR 75 per month. That is well above the country's legal minimum wage of EUR 61 per month. There have been times when she has earned more than her husband, a teacher. 'He is now the school principal and we earn around the same,' she says. The couple's two daughters never have to help out in the weaving shop. The older girl attends the grammar school and has hopes of becoming a lawyer. Her younger sister wants to work in health care.
Support for women developing their potential
The circumstances of women receiving support in Mali are varied. On the one hand, there are women like Colette Traoré, who have already built a successful business and want to take it a stage further. And on the other, there are women who need initial support with finding and developing their potential. Women like Néné Bakadji, who was so poor that her eldest son had to leave school in order to support his mother. At around the same time, her husband turned his back on her and left.
The 45-year-old sits in the yard of her house, dips a square of white cotton into a tub and pulls out a dripping black mass. She wrings it and wrings it until the cloth gives up no more black water. One of the three employees watches closely.
'Our family is saved,' says the entrepreneur
Bakadji has been dying cotton and printing it with traditional patterns since her adolescence. In the past, she used to sell perhaps six of her fabrics on market day. Today it is not unusual for her to receive a bulk order for 40 of them. For having taken part in a training course organised by GIZ, the entrepreneur now distributes business cards and advertises on local radio stations. She also travels to trade fairs to get her products more widely known. She has her own shop in Mopti and even ships her products to Burkina Faso.
For Néné Bakadji, life is good. Her dye business brings in enough income to support the whole family. That has grown in the meantime to four children and two grandchildren – and her unemployed husband, who came back to her. 'Our family is saved,' she says. But unlike Colette Traoré and other women, she does not see herself as a boss. 'That's still a role for the man.'

Marta Werner papers
The Marta Werner papers date from 1892 to 1989 and measure 5 linear feet. The papers are arranged in seven series: Personal, Family, Community activities, Iowa State Penitentiary, Newspaper clippings, Photographs, and Artifacts.
The Personal series (1915-1989) contains annotated yearbooks from Werner's years at Webster College, travel receipts and newspaper articles from her work at the Sheaffer Pen Company, and letters to the editor Werner composed regarding Fort Madison community issues. Also included is Marta Werner's personal correspondence, including dated letters from family and friends. The bulk of the personal correspondence from 1927 to 1931 contains dated courtship letters from Marta Werner's husband, Harold Werner.
The Family series (1953-1968) includes articles about Werner's brother, Bill Brown, who died in combat during World War II, and undated correspondence and marriage programs from Werner's children and grandchildren. Newspaper clippings in this series document Werner's children, parents, and her grandmother, Maria Brown. A book about Maria Brown, Grandmother Brown's Hundred Years, completes the series. Marta Werner is mentioned on page 286 of the book as a child in Mexico.
The Community activities series (1892-1990) includes newspaper clippings documenting the community controversy over Highway 61 and Werner's research to gain admittance to the Daughters of the American Revolution. Papers related to Werner's work as a board member of the Southeast Iowa Homemaker Health Aide Service complete the series.
The Iowa State Penitentiary series (1973-1989) contains correspondence between Werner and prisoners both during and after incarceration; letters written by Werner to the parole board on behalf of prisoners; meeting minutes, programs, publications, and correspondence from prisoner organizations; albums Werner compiled containing correspondence, programs, photos, and newspaper clippings from her work at the institution; and complaint correspondence from prisoners to businesses. The albums have been disbound and placed into archival folders.
The bulk of the clippings in the Newspaper clippings series (1970-1989) are articles from the Des Moines Register or Ft. Madison Evening Democrat about the Iowa State Penitentiary that document prison issues such as administrative changes, changes in parole programs, specific prisoners' cases, sexual abuse among prisoners, and escapes and disturbances at the prison. Articles related to Catholic Workers and women in Iowa complete the series.
The Photographs series include snapshots of Werner's children and grandchildren, snapshots of prisoners, and photographs of Werner accepting awards.
Two plaques comprise the Artifacts series: an award Werner received in 1981 from the state of Iowa in recognition of her work at the Iowa State Penitentiary and a 1988 award from a prisoner Alcoholics Anonymous group.
A book about Werner's paternal grandmother, Maria Brown, is shelved in the printed works collection of the Iowa Women's Archives:
Grandmother Brown's Hundred Years, 1827-1927 (1929) by Harriet Connor Brown. [CT275. B7657B7 1929]
Werner, Marta, 1906-1989 (Person)
Prison reformer and community activist Marta Lucia Brown Werner was born in 1906 in Aguascalientes, Mexico, to Mexican national Maria (Concha) Concepcion Morales and miner Frank Russell Brown, a U.S. citizen. The Browns left Mexico during the nationalist uprising led by Pancho Villa and moved to Fort Madison, Iowa, in 1914. Marta Brown graduated from Fort Madison High School in 1924 and received her bachelor's degree in mathematics from Webster College in St. Louis, Missouri, in 1928. Following graduation, she worked as a sales representative for Sheaffer Pen Company. Marta Brown married Dr. Harold Theodore Werner in Cornwall-on-the-Hudson, New York, in 1931. The couple settled in Fort Madison, Iowa, and raised six children: Harold Theodore, Jr. (Ted), Lucia Dean (Deana), Elizabeth (Libby), Adelaide, Maria, and Margaret (Maggie). Harold Werner died in 1968. Following her husband's death, Marta Werner became involved in community service in Fort Madison. Werner's major volunteer activity was her work at the Iowa State Penitentiary in Fort Madison. She served as a lay minister for prisoners and assisted prison groups such as prison branches of the NAACP and Alcoholics Anonymous with meetings and programs. In addition, Werner personally corresponded with dozens of prisoners and their families between 1973 and 1989.

Tis the season for festive cocktails! Am I right? This year I'm teaming up with the award-winning, Don Q rum to create something special for you to add to your holiday party lineup. Now, for me I'm definitely a rum girl. I don't know if it's my salt-water upbringing but it's an essential in our bar cart. While I mostly favor the coconut variety, I love the warm, rich flavor of spiced rum, particularly Don Q's Oak Barrel Aged Spiced Puerto Rican Rum from the Destilería Serrallés. It's one of America's oldest family-owned businesses with a rum making tradition that started in 1865. Destilería Serrallés is based in Ponce, Puerto Rico where it produces the #1 selling rum on the island, Don Q rum.
Because the holiday season is all about getting cozied up with the ones you love I knew that I had to create a spin on a classic favorite, Eggnog. While a lot of people use bourbon to spike their nog I like to think that spiced rum does a better job. Trust me on this one guys, it does, especially in terms of using Don Q's Oak Barrel Aged Spiced Puerto Rican Rum. The rum is a perfect blend of rums aged at least 3 years in American white oak barrels creating a warm, rich and smooth texture. The flavor profile alone makes it the perfect pairing for holiday cocktails. Hello, vanilla, cinnamon and caramel with oaky notes. Swoon and more swoon.
1. In a shaker or blender combine eggnog, rum, allspice, cinnamon and vanilla.
2. Shake or blend until smooth.
3. In a small bowl add the maple syrup and dip glass rim.
4. Dip syrup coated rim in sugar and coat until desired.
5. Pour Spiced Rum Eggnog into glasses and enjoy with a few of Santa's cookies.
Want to make this for your upcoming holiday party? A good rule of thumb is adding 1oz. of rum to each 8oz. of nog. Pour in punch bowl and stir to mix.
As always, drink responsibly and never drink and drive.

There are currently 3 million people in the U.S. that have dental implants, and that number is growing by about 500,000 each year. There are dozens of factors contributing to the nationwide decrease in dental care and tooth durability, but the foods and beverages Americans are consuming could be at the helm.
According to Insider, there are a select few foods and drinks that Americans are regularly consuming that are actually worse than candy for your teeth. Unfortunately, despite the risk to our teeth, our national affinity for energy drinks, caffeine, and alcohol is unlikely to go away anytime soon. However, those aren't the only hazards to your teeth.
Because coffee contains tannic acids, this fan favorite can actually cause some serious dental damage. In addition to dark stains on the teeth, the acid splashing around inside the mouth can break down tooth enamel and lead to additional decay as well. Since 65% of all coffee drinkers prefer to add sugar and/or cream to their drinks, this beverage can be even more damaging. As long as coffee is being enjoyed in moderation (and without sugar), it shouldn't be much of a problem for healthy individuals.
But it's fruit! Fruit is healthy, right?.
Sadly, when fruit is dried, it's not nearly as healthy as it could be. When fruit is dried, all of the water is removed, leading to the already damaging sugars to become extremely concentrated. Chewing dried fruit is actually similar to chewing sticky caramel and can trap all kind of bacteria and sugars on the teeth and lead to severe damage.
Salty, fish-shaped crackers become chewy after a few seconds, and that can be a major problem for dental health. The sticky food products grab bacteria and remain attached to the teeth for extended periods of time, subsequently causing more and more damage.
If you love sparkling water, then you're probably saddened to see it on this list. However, we have good news.
There has been a lot of speculation within the dental community regarding sparkling water, but it look like this beverage actually is safe for dental health and enamel durability.
According to U.S. News, Dr. Edmont Hewlett, a professor in the University of California-Los Angeles School of Dentistry, found that when a person drinks sparkling water, carbon dioxide breaks down inside the mouth and becomes carbonic acid that isn't actually harmful to the human body or the tooth enamel.
Hewlett ads that the best way to prevent any serious damage or address any dental concerns is to speak with an experienced dental professional.
Do not disturb the surgical area until three or four days following the implants.
Use cold packs or ice bags wrapped in paper towels to minimize facial swelling.
Avoid drinking liquids with a straw and refrain from vigorous rinsing or spitting.
Since smoking will delay the healing process, try and not smoke for at least two to three days after surgery (or at all).

Стрекоза коричневая, или прямобрюх коричневый () — разнокрылая стрекоза из семейства настоящих стрекоз (Libellulidae).

Этимология латинского названия
Brunneus (латинский язык) — тёмно-бурый, коричневый. Коричневую окраску имеют только самки и молодые самцы. С возрастом тело самцов покрывается интенсивным голубым налётом. Первоописапие вида, вероятно, было сделано по самкам или молодым самцам.

Описание
Длина 41-49 мм, брюшко 25-32 мм, заднее крыло 33-37 мм. Средняя лопасть переднеспинки крупная, посредине выемчатая. Брюшко относительно уплощенное. Доплечевая полоска светлая. Основание задних крыльев лишено непрозрачного пятна. Птеростигма желтого или коричневого цвета. На передних крыльях птеростигма длиной 2-3 мм. Перепоночка белая.
Окраска взрослого самца равномерного голубого цвета. Молодые самцы — буроватые, без решетчатого рисунка. Окраска самки равномерно буроватая или коричневая.

Биология
Время лёта: май — начало сентября. Обычно предпочитает проточные водоёмы: ручьи, канавы, каналы. Предпочтение отдаётся открытым местам обитания почти лишённые растительности. Иногда размножается также и в прудах и озёрах.

Q: Duplicate threads showing up when they should be unique (OpenMP) I have to write a code that calculates a partial sum : S(i) = Σ a(j) (j going from 0 to i). Each time, i have to show the value of S(i) (named somme in the code) in the loop, and I have to code it with OpenMP. This is my code :
#include <stdio.h>
#include <omp.h>
#define n 16

int main(void) {
    int a[n] = {2,3,6,9,4,7,0,2,2,6,8,9,11,0,2,4};
    int i, j, t, somme;

    #pragma omp parallel num_threads(16)
    #pragma omp for
    for (i=0; i<n; i++){
        t = omp_get_thread_num();
        somme = a[0];
        for (j=1; j<i+1; j++) somme += a[j];
        printf("<%d>: S(%d) = %d\n", t, i, somme);
    }
    return 0;
}

However, when I run the code with 16 threads, some threads are duplicated, and the result of those threads is wrong :
  <15>: S(15) = 75
  <7>: S(7) = 33
  <6>: S(2) = 11
  <6>: S(6) = 31
  <8>: S(8) = 35
  <9>: S(9) = 41
  <10>: S(10) = 49
  <11>: S(11) = 58
  <14>: S(14) = 71
  <12>: S(12) = 69
  <14>: S(13) = 69
  <5>: S(5) = 35
  <3>: S(3) = 20
  <0>: S(0) = 2
  <5>: S(1) = 35
  <4>: S(4) = 24

I have asked my professor, and he has no clue what is going on. I don't understand why my code is behaving like this, can anyone help me?

A: As mentioned by @EOF you have data races due to shared variables (i,j,t,somme). You have to make them private:
#pragma omp for private(i,j,t,somme)

or even better if you define your variables in their minimum required scope:
int main(void) {
    int a[n] = {2,3,6,9,4,7,0,2,2,6,8,9,11,0,2,4};

    #pragma omp parallel num_threads(16)
    #pragma omp for
    for (int i=0; i<n; i++){
        int t = omp_get_thread_num();
        int somme = a[0];
        for (int j=1; j<i+1; j++) somme += a[j];
        printf("<%d>: S(%d) = %d\n", t, i, somme);
    }
    return 0;
}

What a Tax Holiday at the Gas Pump Means for You
Several states are suspending gas taxes, but not everyone agrees it's the right move.

Amid rising inflation and worrisome world conflict, soaring costs at the gas pump are the last thing folks want to worry about. But with fuel prices hitting record highs, it's a reality most drivers can't ignore.
As the pressure to provide financial relief grows, President Joe Biden is expected to release 180 million barrels of oil over six months from the country's Strategic Petroleum Reserve to stabilize pricing. Still, many state lawmakers are turning to another form of relief: gas tax holidays.
Three states have already begun to cut gas taxes. And several others are considering similar proposals. A federal bill, the Gas Prices Relief Act of 2022, is pushing for the suspension of the federal fuel tax. But there's some debate about whether these measures will actually save consumers money.
States that have suspended gas taxes
Three states — Georgia, Maryland and Connecticut — have officially suspended state gas taxes.
Georgia: Gov. Brian Kemp signed a bill to pause state excise taxes on fuel until May 31, aiming to save Georgia residents 29.1 cents per gallon on gas and 32.6 cents per gallon on diesel.
Maryland: Maryland, whose state fuel taxes are among the highest in the country, began its suspension of gas taxes on March 18. The state rolled back its excise taxes on gas — 36.1 cents per gallon for regular gasoline and 36.85 cents for diesel — for 30 days.
Connecticut: An emergency bipartisan bill to pause gas taxes from April 1 to June 30 was signed by Gov. Ned Lamont on March 24. The rollback intends to put 25 cents per gallon back into drivers' pockets.
Multiple other states, including New York, Pennsylvania and Virginia, are toying with similar tax holidays or reduced taxes on gas. But some tax experts worry that the approach is shortsighted and that the temporary benefits for consumers might not be worth the consequences.
"After being put in place for even a relatively short amount of time, these tax cuts can ultimately negatively impact consumers. They can skyrocket demand for gas, inadvertently making gas prices higher," said Armine Alajian, a certified public accountant in Los Angeles, in an email.
Meanwhile, where efforts to repeal a gas tax have failed, legislators are coming up with other creative solutions. In California, for example, where the average driver shells out approximately $300 in gas taxes per year, Gov. Gavin Newsom is seeking to send $400 debit cards to residents. There would be no income cap, and eligibility would be determined by vehicle registration records — not tax returns — to account for older adults and low-income earners who may not file taxes.
A federal tax holiday is still up in the air
The Gas Prices Relief Act of 2022, introduced by Senate Democrats, would suspend the federal gas tax of 18.4 cents a gallon until Jan. 1, 2023. But several economists have called the proposal a good-intentioned bad idea.
Federal fuel taxes, much like state fuel taxes, are generally designed to support highway and road maintenance. Critics argue that relief on the national level would be negligible to consumers, but would route funding away from critical infrastructure. The nonpartisan Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget estimates that a nationwide gas tax holiday would cost roughly $20 billion.
Further complicating matters is regulation. Although the federal proposal stipulates that producers and dealers of gasoline must pass on the tax savings to consumers, analyst Alex Muresianu of the Tax Foundation has pointed out that "the requirement is particularly unenforceable."
And on the state level, similar concerns have emerged. Georgia's suspension bill, for example, contains no stipulations for enforcement, leading to concerns about potential price gouging.
Tips for easing pain at the pump
There's very little most consumers can do to change the price of gas — but there are several steps you can take to mitigate the impact.
Tap into resources
If you're feeling frustrated by fluctuating prices, consider outsourcing the guesswork. Several apps can help you scope out the best deals in your area from the comfort of your couch.
Modify — if you can
Not everyone has the luxury of modifying their daily route, but if you're lucky enough to have some flexibility, some minor changes can make a difference. Cutting down on idling or opting for cruise control are just a few ways to stretch a tank of gas even further.
Think long-term
If current world events have you taking a long, hard look at the sustainability of gas-powered cars, now might be a good time to consider whether investing in an electric vehicle makes sense for your long-term plans.

Mass. bank robbery suspect arrested in Providence
Linda Borg Journal Staff Writer @lborgprojocom
May 23, 2019 at 10:24 AM May 23, 2019 at 5:15 PM
PROVIDENCE — A Providence man who is alleged to have fired at a police officer while robbing a bank in Somerville, Massachusetts, was arrested here Friday morning, according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Daniel Rosado, 32, was charged with one count of armed bank robbery, one count of brandishing and discharging a firearm during a crime of violence, and one count of being a felon in possession of a firearm. Rosado later appeared in federal court in Boston and was held.
Local and federal authorities conducted a court-ordered search of a house at 42 Leah Street, Providence, early Thursday morning, which is connected to the bank robbery investigation.
According to the charging document, on May 1, 2019, a man later identified as Rosado, entered the Middlesex Federal Savings Bank in Somerville, brandished a handgun, fired a shot into the ceiling, and pointed the firearm at customers and bank employees.
"Get down!", "Everybody on the ground!", "Second Drawer, Hurry Up!", "Give me money or I'll shoot!," the robber shouted, according to the charging document.
Customers and bank employees laid on the floor, while the robber approached a teller window, threw a backpack at the teller, and demanded money, the charging document alleges.
While the teller filled the backpack with money, a customer left the bank and flagged down a marked police cruiser. The officer entered the bank, pointed his gun at the robber, and ordered him to freeze. In response, it is alleged that Rosado faced the officer, pointed his gun in the officer's direction, and fired one shot. The officer shot back. During the exchange of gunfire, Rosado exited the bank and fled on foot, and the officer chased after him on foot.
According to the charging document, as Rosado fled down College Avenue, a bystander, noticing that Rosado was being pursued by a police officer, attempted to tackle Rosado, which caused Rosado to drop his backpack. Rosado kept running, and witnesses eventually lost sight of him.
In the backpack, law enforcement found a Webley revolver, loaded with four unfired rounds of ammunition, and two cartridge casings, as well as more than $500.
Further investigation, including forensic analysis of the backpack, linked the DNA profile found on the backpack to Rosado. A subsequent review of Rosado's driver's license photo matched the images of the robber captured on video surveillance at Middlesex Bank.
"Today's arrest and charges put an end to a three week search for a dangerous and reckless individual," said U.S. Attorney Andrew E. Lelling. "No one should feel afraid to do the everyday, basic American errands we all need to do. On May 1, it's alleged that one man callously threatened the lives of dozens of innocent people who were doing just that. By not just brandishing, but actually discharging his weapon – twice – the alleged defendant instilled fear and endangered the lives of members of our community for his own greed and selfishness."
Joseph R. Bonavolonta, special agent in charge of the FBI's Boston Field Office, said, "As alleged, Mr. Rosado terrorized bank employees, shot at a Somerville police officer, and put the lives of innocent bystanders at risk.
"The FBI's Violent Crimes Task Force is extremely grateful that we were able to apprehend him before anyone got hurt. Thanks to the extraordinary courage of a concerned citizen, who attempted to tackle Rosado, causing him to drop his backpack, we were able to determine his identity," Bonavolonta said.
Colonel Kerry A. Gilpin, superintendent of the Massachusetts State Police, and Somerville Police Chief David Fallon commended the agencies involved in the investigation and said it was a good example of their ability to work together.
According to court records, Rosado has prior felony convictions, such as negligent operation of a motor vehicle, larceny from a person and witness intimidation, and assault by means of a dangerous weapon. Due to these prior convictions, Rosado is prohibited from possessing a firearm or ammunition.
At an initial appearance in U.S. District Court, Boston, Magistrate Judge Donald L. Cabell remanded Rosado into custody, pending a detention and probable cause hearing scheduled for May 31, said a spokeswoman for U.S. Attorney Andrew E. Lelling, Kristina Mastropasqua.


Starting in Windows Insider build 17093, a WSL application can communicate with a Windows application over Unix sockets. Back in December, we blogged about bringing AF_UNIX to Windows. Now, we're building on that functionality. Consider a requirement where you want to run some kind of service as a Windows application. Additionally, you would like to make this service available to both Windows and WSL applications. Now, that's possible with Unix sockets.
Let's look at how the code for such applications would be written.
The above code is self-explanatory. But, one thing worth noting is the path of the socket. For Windows application, the path is in Win32 format and for WSL applications, the format is as in Linux file system.
A WSL Unix socket can only communicate with a Win32 Unix socket OR with a WSL Unix socket, but not both. For instance, a WSL Unix socket server can only accept connections from either WSL Unix socket(s) OR Win32 Unix socket(s). So, how is it determined which one is it? It's based on the path the socket is bound to or connecting to, as specified in the `bind` or `connect` syscall. If the Unix socket path is a DrvFS path (i.e your system volumes mounted within WSL, ex: /mnt/c, /mnt/d etc.) then it can only communicate to a Windows Unix socket. If the path is a LxFS path (i.e Linux mounted volume within WSL, ex: /home, /var, /usr etc.) then it can only communicate with WSL Unix sockets.
For a WSL Unix socket to establish connection with Windows Unix sockets, the first operation after the socket is created should be either a bind or connect. Any other operation on the socket will render it an exclusive WSL Unix socket that can only communicate with other WSL Unix sockets.
As Windows Unix socket implementation does not currently support passing ancillary data such as `SCM_RIGHTS` etc., the ancillary data will also not be supported for Win32<->WSL interop over Unix sockets.
It is important to note that we enforce both Unix and Windows permissions for Unix interop between WSL/Windows–this is illustrated in the samples below.
NOTE: Turn on DrvFS metadata for these examples.
In this sample, we'll bind a WSL Unix socket process to a path which it does not have access to. The binding will fail because I don't have write permissions in Windows.
But if I run an elevated ubuntu (so that we do have write access on the file), I can connect as expected.
In this sample, a WSL Unix socket process connects to a Windows Unix socket path which it has access to from Windows, but not from WSL. You'll see that I revoke access in WSL, which causes my client to fail to connect. Then, I'll grant write access in WSL and the client will succeed.
