The Maya Doom and the End of Bulgarian President's Term
Novinite Insider » EDITORIAL | Author: Maria Guineva |January 4, 2012, Wednesday // 12:14
The tradition of the Head of State to great Bulgarians just minutes before the arrival of the New Year is one of the longest in the country.
It was introduced by Alexander Battenberg, the first prince (Knyaz) of modern Bulgaria, after it became liberated from Ottoman yoke. At the time it was red by a herald on central squares; later distributed as a poster, read on radio and then on TV. The tradition was kept through the years of the Communist regime and by all presidents of the transition period.
Bulgaria's outgoing President, Georgi Parvanov, just delivered his 10th and last televised greeting after two terms in office. In it, he called on Bulgarians to overcome pain, triteness and aggression with faith, wisdom and strength. He thanked all for the understanding, trust and support and the honor to be Head of State.
Parvanov quoted messages of other State leaders who today place more emphasis than ever on solidarity, empathy towards those who suffered most from the crisis, but stressed that apart from compassion, people need and expect an honest assessment and true statesmanship.
Bulgarians watch these New Year greetings, even though they say they are sick and tired of them. Traditions are one of the definitions of a nation and of its celebrations. A good speech to fellow citizens can score many points for a politician if it is not filled with empty words – this is what makes us sick and tired - demagogy in so many years and from so many leaders.
In Parvanov's case, many in the country said the best about his New Year message was that it was also his last.
True to himself, the outgoing President spoke from the distance of his high tribune, preaching the right things as he had and has nothing to do with them... What had he done in the last 10 years to counter kitsch and aggression; how had he helped to alleviate the pain after labeling himself "social president;" how had he shown empathy when he went hunting on the day nine people burned to death in an obsolete train...?
He, who stresses on the need of honesty, was often seen kissing clergy's hands and lighting church candles all while professing socialist (formerly communist) ideology. He lied and admitted only after being cornered that he had been an agent of the Communist secret services. Parvanov preaches true statesmanship, but can list in his 10-year record as top achievement managing to avoid both all thorny issues and difficult media questions.
And on and on...
"Let's get filled with hope that even the darkest forebodings will remain warnings only," the Head of State said in his wishes, leaving us guessing if he referred to the effects of the debt crisis in Europe or the predictions for the 2012 end of the world in the calendar of the Ancient Maya.
Or maybe he was talking about the end of the world as the end of his term in office since he cannot model the ways of his beloved Putin?

With the recent release of Spotify Wrapped on Nov 30th, many Spotify users feel a slight embarrassment about what their analytics have to say about them. This common sentiment likely develops after seeing that one's music taste is actually a bit "basic" or "cringy" when laid out on Spotify Wrapped. In preparation for the next Spotify Wrapped 2023, let's introduce you to different music genres and subgenres to potentially improve your disposition and expand upon your current taste.
It's important to recognize the importance of music as an expansive, transformative, and universal art form, and that understanding the complexity of music is what gives its artistry beauty. This complexity creates a certain difficulty in completely "defining" genres of music, which inspires different bands and artists to search for new innovative sounds. An example of this strive-to-be novel is Post Punk Rock, a lesser-known yet incredibly influential genre of music. In this article, I hope to establish a layout of the defining elements of Post-Rock, and its history to introduce you to this lesser-known genre.
Post-Rock has a relatively unknown history as it is a more broad and unexplored music subgenre. According to Encyclopedia Britannica, "The term post-rock was coined in 1994 by music critic Simon Reynolds in his discussion of the music of Talk Talk and Bark Psychosis." who used the more typical instruments of a rock band while incorporating their own take on rock through the use of more unorthodox rhythms, melodies, and innovative chord progressions. Post-rock became another alternative rock genre that differed from the standard rock music of bands Led Zeppelin and Rush through new ideas that incorporated both jazz and shoegaze elements to create a new seemingly indescribable sound.
Another prominent Post-Rock band is Slint who is ironically still relatively unknown. Slint paved the way for Post-Rock in the late 80s and early 90s through the use of an innovative structure that included defining post-rock elements through the manipulation of layered volume. Their 1991 album Spiderland has been greatly influential in other alternative almost electronic genres to bands such as Stereolab.

Arctic sea ice is declining when it should be growing.
What the Heck Is Going on at the North Pole?
Our Arctic ice is disappearing. Guess why.
I've written quite a bit over the past few years about the death spiral of sea ice at the North Pole. Every year the amount of ice goes up and down with the seasons, growing in winter and declining in summer. But, on top of that there has been a trend downward, such that year by year we see less ice all the time.
Because of that we tend to see records set nearly every year. For example, this year in March the Arctic sea ice reached its maximum extent,* but it was the lowest maximum extent ever seen since satellite records began in 1979.
Starting in September every year the ice begins to reform, growing to a maximum. It reached that point on Sept. 10 this year, when it had the second lowest extent on record. After that day, though, it started to grow again.
Arctic sea ice extent. 2016 is in red, and you can see it's actually dropping, when it's already well below average (the gray area). The dashed line is 2012, which had an unusually low extent.
Except … it didn't. It started to, but then in early October the growth just stopped. A couple of weeks later it started to rise again, but stalled a second time in late October. In the weeks since then the amount of ice has actually fallen a bit. We are now at record low ice for this time of year, and have been for weeks.
Mind you, it's winter up there. The Sun shines at most a few hours a day at the southern edge of the Arctic Circle right now. Yet temperatures in the Arctic are soaring; in mid-November it was an average of a staggering 22° Celsius, or 40° Fahrenheit, above normal.
Holy cripes. What the hell is going on?
The obvious answer is: global warming. Like I said, as time goes on, average temperatures go up, and amount of ice decreases.
But there's a less obvious but more important answer, too. And that is: global warming.
That's not a typo. The proximate cause of the temperature spike has been a weak jet stream. That blows around the pole, and generally keeps the cold air up there and the warm from the south away. But the jet steam has been weak lately, and warm air has been able to push up into the Arctic and keep temperatures up.
So why is the jet stream weak? Yup. It's global warming. One thing that powers the jet stream is the difference in temperature between mid-latitudes and the more northern ones. As the planet warms, that difference has fallen (the Arctic warms faster than lower latitudes do), and that has weakened the jet stream.
But there's more. Because the planet is warming, the sea surface temperatures are going up as well. Water that's usually frigid in October (like the East Siberian and Barents Seas) has been warmer, so ice growth is slow.
There's a subtle thing happening here too that's important. It's not just that we're seeing slower ice growth, but the high temperatures are actually melting old, thick ice as well. So it's not just the extent that's dropping, it's the volume as well. That's important because thin ice comes and goes, melting faster in the summer, but the old thick ice should be here to stay. That's no longer the case; we're losing that too.
Global (that is, Arctic + Antarctic) sea ice extent.
This follows the amount of sea ice at both poles, Arctic and Antarctic. It's not really a good way to understand what's happening because the physical conditions at the two poles are very different, and the amount of ice at each is ruled by different circumstances. Combining them just confounds all this.
Right now it's approaching summer in the Southern Hemisphere, and we expect Antarctic ice to decline. However, even so, it's falling faster than usual, and the extent there is lower than normal, too.
I include this graph because so many people are talking about it, and it's important to understand that scientists don't usually combine the two poles into one graph that way.
However there's a second point to make as well. Whenever I write about Arctic ice, a herd of climate change deniers converge in the comments and on social media, barking about how Antarctic sea ice is unchanged or even on the rise. But—shocker—that's crap. The two are unrelated; Antarctic sea ice tends to be relatively steady year to year, and, as you can see, despite that it is pretty low right now.
And they also ignore the fact that Arctic ice has been steadily decreasing for decades. Well, steadily until the past few weeks.
It's possible that the boreal ice will get its act together and start growing again this season. It's also possible it won't. Time will tell.
But time is not on our side. It's entirely possible we'll see our first ice-free Arctic summer in just a few decades. Not centuries, or even a century. But maybe by 2040.
The reason this is a concern is twofold. One is that as the northern ice melts, it dumps a lot of fresh water into the oceans. This changes the salinity of the oceans, and that changes how the water flows from the Arctic to the equator and back again. This heat exchange powers a lot of our climate and weather, so having this break down is, in a word, terrifying.
Second, the Arctic is our climate canary-in-a-coal-mine. Because it's so sensitive to warming, studying it shows us what we're in for as our planet inexorably heats up.
I won't spin this: This is not good news. As I wrote recently, all is not lost, and there are still things we can do to help mitigate global warming.
But with Donald Trump in office, and him loading his Cabinet with climate change deniers, I worry very much over what the next few years will entail.
*Extent is a term climate scientists use, and it's a little different than just the area of the ice. When they measure the ice they divide the area into regions, and if a region is more than 15 percent ice they say it's ice-covered.

Santa Clara, Calif. - November 23, 2016 — Zang today announced that its all-in-one cloud communications platform and applications-as-a-service, Zang Cloud, helped bring home first place honors to students from Ontario's Durham College in the Society of Communication Technology Consultants (SCTS) Maker Challenge. The students won the competition, which was between student teams from Ontario colleges, by creating an application that connects active directory users to Zang Cloud accounts through SMS.
Hosted by the Canadian Regional Group of the Society of Communication Technology Consultants (SCTS), the Maker Challenge was created to help students become better aware of the jobs and opportunities available in the unified communications space. Three teams comprised of students from Durham and Centennial Colleges were given access to a vendor's technical engineer, SDK/API, and a test environment in order to develop an application, extension, or enhancement of that vendor's unified communications-as-a-service (UCaaS) offering. The teams were then given two weeks to develop their ideas, and then on November 17th, presented and demonstrated their ideas to a panel of judges.
While three different vendors were involved with the Maker Challenge, the Zang team from Durham College claimed first prize for their SMS app, winning over the judges with the idea that you could be sitting on a tropical beach without data, but still communicate with your servers through text messages. The application the students created is available globally in 58 countries.

Q: How does this Boolean simplification work? The following expression:
$$ABC + BCD + A'D$$
simplifies to:
$$ABC + A'D$$
I just cannot understand how this comes about.

A: Treat $BC=X$ as a single variable. Then:
$$
AX + XD + A'D = AX + (A+A')XD +A'D = AX + AXD + A'XD + A'D \\
= AX(1+D) + A'D(1+X) = AX + A'D
$$
Please tell if you did not understand anything.

A: Using a Karnaugh Map will make this a lot easier to understand. If you input your original statement into a 4x4 map, you end up with the following expression:
$$A'C'D + A'CD + ABC$$
simplifies to:
$$A'D + ABC$$
Here is the Wikipedia article on Karnaugh Maps: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karnaugh_map.
Edit: The Karnaugh Map actually outputs the fully-simplified expression ABC + A'D, I just wanted to show where in the process the BCD term disappeared.

A: $ABC + BCD + A'D = ABC + ABCD + A'BCD + A'D = ABC + A'D$

NASCAR Xfinity: Zane Smith goes part-time with JR Motorsports
By AMANDA VINCENT
NASCAR Next program driver Zane Smith will drive the No. 9 JR Motorsports Chevrolet in eight NASCAR Xfinity Series races in 2019, the race team announced Tuesday.
"Zane is going to be an important part of the lineup for the No. 9 team next year," JR Motorsports co-owner Dale Earnhardt Jr. said. "It's a great opportunity for him. The team is going to take on a different feel with a handful of drivers taking turns throughout the year, but the goal remains the same – to help these drivers gain experience and continue to advance their careers. We started the Xfinity program with that mindset and it's something we're proud to continue."
Tyler Reddick drove the No. 9 car full-time in 2018, claiming the series championship, a second-consecutive Xfinity Series drivers' championship for JR Motorsports' No. 9 car. William Byron drove the No. 9 car to the title in 2017 before moving to the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series. Reddick is moving to Richard Childress Racing for 2019.
"JR Motorsports has a strong history of helping groom young talent and we're looking forward to giving Zane that platform for success," JR Motorsports General Manager Kelley Earnhardt Miller said. "We feel Zane has much to offer both on and off the track. We're going to have him in the car for these eight races, but also have him gain additional experience by traveling with the team for the season."
Smith's first race in the No. 9 will be the March 2 race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. He'll also drive the car April 6 at Bristol (Tenn.) Motor Speedway, two races at Richmond (Va.) Raceway on April 12 and Sept. 20, Dover (Del.) International Speedway on May 4 and Oct. 5, and Iowa Speedway in Newman on June 16 and July 27.
"I'm super pumped to be a part of JR Motorsports with the No. 9 team for eight races," Smith said. "I'm counting down the days until Las Vegas, which will be my debut in the Xfinity series. I can't thank The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas enough for making this happen, along with all of my other partners who have gotten me this far. Having Dale and Kelley as bosses and to lean on is going to be awesome. They are huge icons of the sport. It is unreal to be a part of their team, so I'm just going to try and take it all in."
Smith made his NASCAR national-series debut in the Camping World Truck Series at Gateway in 2018 at Gateway Motorsports Park in Madison, Ill. He finished fifth in a DGR-Crosley entry. He also ran the full ARCAR Racing Series schedule in 2018, posting 12 top-fives and 13 top-10s in 20 races. He finished second in the 2018 ARCA standings.
Other drivers for the No. 9 Xfinity Series entry in 2019 will be announced later.

And ultimately, as women continue embrace STEM in education and career paths, innovation and entrepreneurship will follow, at which point their intellectual property rights to their own ideas and inventions must be legally protected through the patent process.
On July 24, the Institute for Women's Policy Research announced a significant research study of projects focused on "female underrepresentation in innovation," including, entrepreneurship and patenting.
Women are less likely to enter a STEM field.
They are less likely to file for patents for their inventions.
In 2010, about 20 percent of all patents had at least one female inventor.
One of the chosen programs is in the same region of the country as our Kansas City-area law office. BioSTL's Bioscience & Entrepreneurship Inclusion Initiative's goal is to "increase diversity" in the St. Louis area's bioscience tech industry. Its efforts include workshops and individual inventor coaching to help bring their innovations to commercial markets.
The authors of the report say it is "designed to provide an accessible resource for those interested in interventions to increase the number of women who patent." The link above provides access to the entire report.

This is part of the tutorial on designing the below layout and converting it to a functional PDF and CSS Website using Fireworks CS4.
You can export each page separately as a CSS page with its own slices or copy the first page to create the other pages in Dreamweaver(if the pages are the same as seen in this layout). This export feature is really cool as the text is editable text when you open the file (not like the old export of html and images where everything was converted to images).
To export as css and images, you need to add slices to all the images and leave the editable text part without any slices. Fireworks will create the divs according to the slices and rectangles and text. Below you can see how I have sliced this layout. I have added slices for the site name, the graphic on the left, a background image (set as background image in the Properties inspector) and navigation links. The text is left without a slice.
Remember photographs should be optimized to JPEG - Better Quality in the Optimize Panel.
Name all the slices and export by choosing the page and click on File/Export. Choose CSS and Images (.htm) in the Export drop down menu. Check Put Images in subfolder. Click on options and enter images/background.jpg. (I have named the background image background).
Open the File in Dreamweaver and you will see that Fireworks has created a css style sheet, an html page and the images folder with the images. Text is editable in Dreamweaver. You can now optimize this file if needed and copy it to create the other pages and link them together in Dreamweaver.

Tony W. H. Luk, Solicitor, Oliver C. M. Chan & Co.
Oftentimes, plaintiffs will envisage the necessity of apportionment in one cause of action comprising claims under the Fatal Accidents Ordinance ("FAO") and the Law Amendment and Reform (Consolidation) Ordinance ("LARCO") amid the acceptance of payment into court by defendants. In Hse Fei Lun, the administrator of the estate of Lam Chu Yuk, the deceased v So Suk Yee and Wu Ching Yan Becky  4 HKC 507, the plaintiff sought an order for apportionment on argument of no necessity by the defendant on account of the fact that there was no infant interest involved and no apparent conflict of interest between different dependants who, being adults, could be safely left to apportion the settlement sum solely by themselves. The court had clarified the question of requirement of apportionment and ruled in favour of the plaintiff that adult dependants (or compromised plaintiffs) making claims under the aforesaid Ordinances in one cause of action are required to apportion the compensation by a court order.
On the surface, Hse Fei Lun points out the required apportionment under FAO with reference to the FAO Act 1976, but underneath, it tends to show no required apportionment under LARCO when the above situations reflect non-interruption of the court while the administrator or administrators is at the helm of distributing compensation. The editor of the Civil Procedure 2015 may purposely escape the publication of unnecessary apportionment under LARCO claim underneath paragraph 80/15/3, but for further guidance on apportionment, we shall be over the moon at reading all the more on the captioned topic in the upcoming edition of the Civil Procedure.

08.30: Wat Arun (Temple of Down) – This Wat or Buddhist temple is an architectural representation of Mount Meru, the center of the world in Buddhist cosmology. In the mythology of Tibetan Buddhism, Mount Meru is a place that simultaneously represents the center of the universe and the single-pointedness of mind sought by adepts. Thousands of miles in height, Meru is located somewhere beyond the physical plane of reality, in a realm of perfection and transcendence. The four-corner prang of Wat Arun, which house images of the guardian gods of the four directions, reinforces this mystical symbolism.

Q: How to execute plugin after successful login in Wordpress Hello guys I need to execute some function (written as wordpress plugin) after user is logged in successfully i.e. all user credentials are stored such as cookies and sessions etc.
So my code is,
function do_this_shit() {
//some code here
}
add_action(???, 'do_this_shit');

A: You'll want to use the wp_login hook:
add_action('wp_login', 'do_this_shit');

Can't find much in the docs about it, but here is it: http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Action_Reference/wp_login
