Udupi, Aug 07, 2014: The recent molestation incident reported at Shivapura Higher Secondary School in which a Mathematics teacher was involved as the accused caused an uproar in the general meeting of Udupi Zilla Panchayath held on August 6.
member Manjunath Poojary raised the issue and questioned DDPI Nagendra Madhyastha for the casual approach that resulted in delay in action against the teacher. Poojary said that though the Block Education Officer had sent a letter over the issue to DDPI six months ago, the DDPI has not shown interest in solving the problem.
"The DDPI deliberately did not initiate action against the accused. The complaints given by three students were ignored.
The teacher was suspended only after police took action and issued notice to Public Instruction Department," Poojary alleged. Member Ananth Muwadi accused that the act of DDPI manifests a lack of concern on the part of officials. Member Ganapathy Sriyan demanded dismissal of the teacher instead of sending him on deputation.
To the serious matters, DDPI Nagendra Madhyastha was unable to give a satisfactory reply on why he did not act immediately. He only said the teacher was suspended on last week.
Open borewells : The issue that got the attention of the house was the threat posed by open defunct bore-wells and open wells. Member Geethanjali Suvarna said that the open wells and defunct borewells are posing grave threat.
Sriyan said since 2010 till date, around 54 people have died falling in quarry pits. Muwadi said the officials concerned take up the borewell work without informing the house or the respective ZP member. Although the compensation is offered, it is remote from the value of life, he added.
Muwadi demanded that the CEO should be given the responsibility of permitting digging borewells. There needs serious deliberation. The officers penalised the violators, however they fail to ensure that the quarry pits are properly fenced and also defunct borewells were sealed. The officer from Mines and Geology department said notices were issued to parties concerned in Hosangadi and Yedamogge of Kundapur taluk. They are also asked to adequately fence their respective quarry units. She said notices would be issued twice, following which FIR will be registered, if the party fails to abide by the rules and regulations.
Ministers move unpopular : Members unanimously opposed the move by the Panchayath Raj minister to release the funds under the 13th Finance Commission to MLAs to take up road repair works in their constituencies.
Muwadi said the decision of the minister should be condemned, as it is an attempt to undermine the Panchayath Raj system. The house should approach High Court against the decision now. There is a threat to ZP's absolute power. The funds should be released to ZP, he demanded. Udupi district will receive Rs 12 crore to take up the upgradation and formation work of 4000 kms stretch. The members decided to approve the action plan. The members also unanimously supported setting up of CCTV in ZP.
The ongoing strike of Koraga people demanding title deeds caused to vent their anger against official apathy. They alleged that ITDP department officials have not heard the grievances of the Koraga people. The official responded that Koraga people reside in DC Manna land and were demanding title deeds for the same. The KCDC (Karnataka Cashew Development Board) has taken up plantation in the area, and that was the problem. Muwadi said that the said land is exclusively earmarked for SC/ST communities. He alleged a pact between Forest department and KCDC.
DHO Dr Ramachandra Bairy said the Endosulfan victims' pension of five months till June'14 was disbursed to 1125 patients. Since the amount has been transferred through RTGS, some of the beneficiaries did not receive the funds as their bank accounts are dead. They will be activated shortly, he assured.
Retorting to a query over sand mining policy in the district, the official said that 147 members in CRZ area have applied for registration. A joint survey has been held by Tahsildar, Forest Department, Mines and Geology Department and CRZ officials and matter is under study.

Ed Hyder's Wine Director Offers Vacation Choices
By John M. Fabela	 On Dec 3, 2021
By Barbara M. Houle
Ahead of the holidays and in the spirit of the season, Justus Wagner, Wine Manager at Ed Hyder's Mediterranean Market in Worcester, shares wine recommendations for this most festive time of year.
The Dining In column asked Wagner for wines to offer or simply to enjoy with a meal. He has selected wines that deliver too much for their price, delicious and affordable. The $ 20 to $ 30 price range makes these wines perfect for the holidays or to open at a family reunion or other special occasion. Wagner noted that the wines and cider on his list are organically grown, which means no pesticides or synthetics were used in the vineyard or orchard.
Wagner of Princeton grew up in the Worcester area and was a customer at Hyder's before becoming a full-time employee four years ago. After earning a bachelor's degree in education, he worked a harvest at Bella Vineyards, a small winery in Dry Creek Valley, northern California, Sonoma County. He was captivated by the entire wine-making process, he said, prompting him to research and learn as much as possible about wine.
At Hyder's, Wagner sought out small, site-focused producers producing affordable wines, which led him to import wine from Schaad Cellars to Massachusetts and work a harvest with winemaker Forrest Schaad in 2019. Schaad Cellars is a family owned winery located in McMinnville, Oregon.
This fall, Wagner spent five weeks helping with the harvest at Arnot-Roberts in Healdsburg, California. He said he specifically chose the estate because it works with some of the best vineyards in California and is recognized as one of the best Syrah producers outside of France. Syrah is one of his favorite grape varieties. "At the end of the day, give me a well-made Syrah or Pinot Noir," he said.
Wagner finds the exploration of all aspects of the harvest "invigorating" and a way to add to his knowledge of wine. He even "took off his shoes" for having trod the grapes at Arnot-Roberts' house. "It's squishy and fun," he said. "Honestly, your feet get pretty cold when you are submerged in 40 degree grapes."
Harvesting the wine grapes is one of the most important steps in the winemaking process, Wagner said. "Obviously, the goal of every bottle of wine is to be delicious. For me, captivating wines are place wines, where the unique personality of the vineyard can shine through, leading to exciting new flavors.
When you talk to Wagner, you feel his confidence and his passion for wine. "He really knows his stuff, and I always trust him to make an incredible case of wines," said Leslie Lofgren, longtime chef and die-hard customer, who sometimes emails Wagner asking him to pair a few bottles. of wine with food. . "He doesn't speak over your head and explains things so that you understand what he is saying. He finds wines that you will like, and you can tell by talking to him that he really enjoys his job. I can taste high quality wines in small quantities, "said Lofgren. "I can buy the best-selling brands of wine in other stores, but Justus offers wine lovers something very different. "
Wagner said he didn't have to sell big brands of wine. Instead, the goal of retail is to deliver wines from small producers that offer the best value and quality. Wagner writes about wine in the store's newsletter, and before the pandemic, he hosted wine tastings on Saturdays. His plan is to resume tastings in the middle of the week before Christmas. He is happy to answer customer calls as well as emails.
About half of the wine sold at Hyder's is organic, according to Wagner, who said market watchers predict continued growth and success for the organic wine industry.
Among recent trends in the wine industry has been the emergence of wine formats, such as canned wines and canned wines. Canned wine has evolved into wider consumer acceptance for some time, according to Wagner, who said canned wine is a trend to watch. Hyder's buyers can choose from a few brands of canned wine, he said.
When not working, Wagner is a home cook who likes to shake things up. "Yes, to spicy food," he said.
This Thanksgiving, her mother, Kim Wagner of Princeton, will be hosting the holiday dinner, with each family member bringing a different dish to the table. "It usually takes us about six hours to go from starter to dessert," Wagner said. "It's sort of a done deal that I make food and wine pairings. Note: Wagner is a huge fan of Cava, Spain's most popular sparkling wine, and it's one of his wine choices.
Vacation or not, Wagner's advice is to don't be intimidated by wine and be open to trying new things. Raise your glass!
Ed Hyder's Mediterranean Market, 408 Pleasant St., Worcester has been family owned since 1975. Visit www.edhyders.com for schedules and online orders. Partial and full reductions for wine are not available online. Email [email protected] or buy in person. (Beer, cider, and seltzer water are also available.) Great choice of food. The company has recently enlarged the kitchen and has a new parking lot.
Selection of Justus Wagner wines
Pere Mata, Cava Brut Reserva Familia 2016 – Penedes, Spain; $ 24.99
Nothing says the party like bubbles, and Pere Mata makes fantastic sparkling wine in his small production cellar just outside of Barcelona, Spain. This vintage cava is incredible with hints of brioche and lemon cream. It's excellent on its own and is also delicious when opened with a plate of antipasti with cold cuts and cheeses.
Eyrie Vineyards, Pinot Gris Dundee Hills – Willamette Valley, Oregon; $ 24.99
David and Diana Lett founded Eyrie Vineyards in 1966, pioneering winemaking in Oregon's Willamette Valley. They were the first people outside of Europe to plant Pinot Gris, which remains the most important white grape in the Willamette Valley. They go for a slower and more expensive method of making their pinot gris, creating a more complex and layered style than many of their peers. While the wine is not oaky at all, it does have a weight that makes it my go-to white wine for holiday meals.
Mas de Cynanque, Fleur Rosé – Languedoc-Roussillon, France; $ 17.99
With its red fruits and tangy freshness, rosé is fantastic all year round, even in the cooler months. This dry (not sweet) rosé could pair with a wide variety of foods, but I think it would be especially delicious when paired with roasted butternut squash.
Drew Family Wines, Mid-altitude Pinot Noir – Mendocino County, California; $ 29.99
Mendocino, the remote region north of Napa and Sonoma in California, produces incredible Pinot Noirs. The cool climate allows the wine to obtain this fascinating blend of earthy flavors, aromas of rose petals and fresh red fruits. This wine is an excellent choice for holiday meals, as it will work especially well with roast poultry and as a gift because of its unique yet accessible personality.
Massaya, Cap Est – Bekaa Valley, Lebanon; $ 24.99
Although it has yet to receive the credit it deserves, Lebanon's Bekaa Valley produces incredible wines. Grown on the steep slopes of the valley, the wines develop richness and power without weighing down. If you are looking to try something new, the wines of the Bekaa Valley are absolutely worth exploring, especially for lovers of powerful reds like Cabernet Sauvignon.
Eve's Cidery, Darling Creek Sparkling Cider – Finger Lakes, New York; $ 17.99
Cider is a fun category for the holidays. It goes naturally with almost any fall and winter food, its naturally low alcohol content makes it ideal for the holiday season, and it is linked to the long history of apple cultivation in the North-east. Eve's Cidery is one of the best producers in the country focusing on small production, dry, organic and Champagne method sparkling ciders.

•Point to Boeing (BA), a bright spot in the Dow.
Stocks' early losses picked up steam on Thursday afternoon, with both tech and emerging economies propelling markets lower.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average is down 0.1%, while the S&P 500 is off 0.6%. The Nasdaq Composite is falling 1.2% in recent trading.
Sure, we had good news this morning, with jobless claims hovering near a half-century low, but every silver lining has a cloud. As Plante Moran Financial Advisors' Jim Baird warns, a tight labor environment may be good for workers for now, but could spell trouble down the road.
"Job creation has been a bright spot for the economy for many years, but it will become increasingly difficult to maintain that robust pace as the pool of skilled labor dries up and hiring becomes more difficult," he writes. "At some point, job creation is likely to slow, which will require employers to find other ways to boost productivity," which itself is near three-year highs.
Yet there are bigger issues today. First among them is tech, which is getting hit by worries about regulation and trade. Semiconductors, not surprisingly, are taking much of the worst punishment, given their reliance on China and global commerce.
Credit Suisse's John Talbott writes that investors are taking a harder look at the group, as the forecasted cash-flow return on investment for the group currently matches the late 2000 peak of 16%. "Despite the short-term optimism, the market is skeptical," he notes, with investors pricing in about 8% CFROI. "The spread between short-term forecasts and longer term market implied CFROI is currently at a 20-year high (i.e. sharpest fade in 20 years)."
Semiconductor Advisors writes that today's move is a "wake up call" following a quiet summer for chip stocks—but not a surprise. "We have been very clear, for a long time, that memory was too strong for too long, and had to cool off. Whether it cools slowly or takes polar bear plunge matters little." In fact, it may be better to rip the Band-Aid off quickly rather than suffer multiple drops.
Still, with potentially nerve-calming earnings reports still more than a month away, the firm finds it "hard to catch a falling spear and buy into this continuing flow of negative news, especially given the skittishness of the overall market."
Yet, as we noted this morning, pockets of weakness don't necessarily spell trouble for the U.S. as a whole, or even the rest of tech itself. Morgan Stanley's Michael Wilson writes that even as markets could get hit by a bit of a cyclical consolidation, we're still in the middle of a secular bull market, buoyed by an increase in productivity that he sees continuing over the next few years.
"As capital deepening and technological diffusion flow through to increased productivity, we expect that an improving fundamental picture should be supportive of equity valuations, creating a virtuous cycle of risk taking, investment, productivity, and growth," he writes.
Emerging markets are having a tougher time. Developing economies are the other big story Thursday, as they continue to be roughed up by trade worries as well as the strength in the U.S. itself. The strong dollar has dinged emerging market currencies, the Federal Reserve is exacerbating the situation by raising interest rates, and some countries, like Russia, are facing U.S. sanctions.
"For China, a trade spat would be one thing if the economy were in great health, but with noise of a slowdown growing louder, the trade war could upend the country's economic balance," writes Orbis Insights. The firm cites rapidly rising debt—especially bad debt—decelerating growth, and less effective investments in infrastructure: "Macroeconomic concerns can also affect companies that are neither in China nor directly exposed to tariffs. With China consuming roughly half of the world's production in steel, coal, copper, and nickel, a prolonged slowdown could severely impact mining businesses."
So, ultimately, we're back to watching tariffs. If the U.S. keeps a hardline stance on trade, China could be in for more pain and take some wobblier emerging markets with it. Domestic markets, on the other hand, have proven resilient. So that might make today's losses a bit easier to handle.
Boeing (BA) has added 1.6% to $352.31 after analysts released comments on its investor day, which was held on Wednesday.
CBS (CBS) has risen 3.9% to $54.99 on reports that the company in the process of negotiating CEO Les Moonves' exit from the company as it looks to reach a settlement with controlling shareholder National Amusements.
Franklin Resources (BEN) is down 3.7% to $30.27 after getting cut to Underweight from Neutral by JPMorgan.
Tiffany (TIF) is up 3.2% to $124.58 after a director bought 15,000 shares of the company.

A street art tribute to 1821
VEMA Send an email January 8, 2022
The City of Athens on Wednesday announced the unveiling of the last two murals in a group of four by local street artists paying tribute to the bicentennial of the 1821 Greek War of Independence.
At the 13th elementary school in Mets, SAME84 presents "The Drummer Boy of Messolonghi," a piece is inspired by German painter Johann Georg Christian Perlberg's (1806-1884) "Drums for the War of Independence."
In Kypseli, meanwhile, the 133rd elementary school has been graced with an homage by street artist Gospel to war heroes Laskarina Bouboulina, Theodoros Kolokotronis and Konstantinos Kanaris, titled "Pantheon."
The other two pieces in the series are a portrait by Cacao Rocks of the great British Philhellene Lord Byron in Psyrri and a piece by KEZ in Ambelokipi inspired by a painting by folk artist Theophilos (1870-1943) of star-crossed lovers "Erotokritos and Aretoussa."

McLennan County employees pitch in to benefit Food For Families

By Tommy Witherspoon
WACO, Texas (KWTX) - When Chrissy Brault went to work for McLennan County 10 years ago, former Precinct 1 County Commissioner Kelly Snell put her in charge of organizing the county's efforts to support the state's largest one-day food drive, Food For Families.
It wasn't necessarily part of her official job description, but Brault recognized the importance of the project and quickly embraced her role of organizing county departments and their employees to pitch in. She now calls it "my little project."
"Originally, it was given to me when I first got here. Before that, the administrative assistants used to rotate each year being in charge of it. But then I fell in love with what it was all about – to give back to the community and families in need," Brault said. "I hope if I am ever in a situation that I needed it, that there would be people who would help me out. The employees of the county have really stepped up to the plate every year and have donated a ton of food over the last 10 years that I have been doing this."
Brault, administrative assistant to Precinct 1 Commissioner Jim Smith and Precinct 4 Commissioner Ben Perry, reported county employees from 24 departments donated about 4,600 pantry items and $1,700 in cash this year, including proceeds from a bake sale organized by Lynette Sullins and Morrisa Crye-Hill, deputy clerks at the 10th Court of Appeals.

"History continues to repeat itself here at the county," Brault said. "Every year, our employees continue to bring in canned goods and other items. They really give back to our community in that way and I'm proud of the county. I think we have done really well, and we help a lot of families by doing this. And we will continue it again next year."
Last year, county employees donated about 5,000 pantry items and donated about $2,000 in cash. Their efforts last year won the Food For Families Public/Social Service category.
Brault said each county department is given the goal of at least 20 donations from each employee. Of the 24 departments that participated in the Food for Families drive this year, nine departments met that goal and will be honored with a free breakfast or lunch for their generous employees, Brault said.

McLennan County Judge Scott Felton said he was not surprised by the impressive amount donated by many of the county's 1,000 employees.
"Our employees are very considerate of the rest of the community and its needs," Felton said. "It's a fun deal to do, too. We try to have a little competition with it for bragging rights."
Food For Families, sponsored by KTWX News 10, the Boy Scouts of America and H-E-B Grocery Co., is in its 32nd year. In the past three decades, Food For Families has collected 33,938,406 pounds of food to help stock the shelves of area food pantries.

The Early Guadalcanal-Solomons Campaign of World War II August–October 1942
By: Jeffrey R. Cox
Narrated by: Joe Barrett
Following the disastrous Java Sea campaign, the Allies went on the offensive in the Pacific in a desperate attempt to halt the Japanese forces that were rampaging across the region. With the conquest of Australia a very real possibility, the stakes were high. Their target: the Japanese-held Soloman Islands, in particular the southern island of Guadalcanal. Hamstrung by arcane pre-war thinking and a bureaucratic mind-set, the US Navy had to adapt on the fly in order to compete with the mighty Imperial Japanese Navy, whose ingenuity had fostered the creation of its Pacific empire.

Eckert & Mauchly and ENIAC
Written by Historian
ENIAC - the first computer?
ENIAC was started in 1943 and completed at the end of 1945 - and so missed the war by a few months.
It was huge. It used just short of 18000 vacuum tubes arranged in racks 100 feet long in total. It consumed enough electricity, about 150kW, for a small town and disposing of the heat produced by the vacuum tubes was no small problem.
But it worked. It could add two numbers in 0.2 milliseconds and this speed increase made calculations possible would have simply taken too long by other methods available at the time.
In today's terms ENIAC's arithmetic performance is equivalent to an IBM PC running at .005MHz - which is a lot better than the relay computers could manage. It even managed to work for reasonable periods of time between vacuum tube failures, up to 20 hours.
ENIAC was used for 10 years and did a huge amount of computation in that time. It not only computed trajectories but ran the simulations needed for the H bomb.
It also caught the public imagination. In a public demonstration it added numbers and plotted shell trajectories in real time. It took only twenty seconds to work out the trajectory of a shell that took 30 seconds to reach its target. ENIAC's flashing lights and switch banks also set the look of machines in film and fiction that has hardly changed through to the present day!
Betty Jean Jennings (left) and Fran Bilas (right), two of ENIAC's six female programmers, operate its main control panel.
ENIAC differed in a number of important ways from a modern computer. The first is, that despite the work of Shannon and others, ENIAC used the decimal system to do arithmetic. It worked with ten digit signed arithmetic.
The arithmetic units also mimicked the way that mechanical calculators worked using gear wheels. A ring counter can be considered to be the electronic equivalent of a rotating gear wheel in the sense that it has ten states only one of which is active. An input pulse makes the state change to the next and when the last state is reached a pulse is output and the ring moves back to the first state. The output is used as a carry to the next position of the number and addition is performed by feeding in the correct number of pulses. So adding two numbers together really did simulate the rotation of gear wheels counting the number of times the calculating machine's handle is turned.
This is a long way from the way a modern computer uses Boolean logic to perform addition.
It also didn't have the internal structure of a modern computer and was more like a collection of logic circuits that could be connected in different ways. It had to be programmed using plug board and wires that looked like a small telephone exchange. It could take days to "program" the machine to solve a problem that would take only a few minutes to run. It wasn't a stored program machine but it did have loops and conditionals but the programs were created using wire connections and setting switches.
This was the way that existing and very sucessful analog computers were organized. They had units that performed mathematical functions such as addition, multiplication, integration and so on and these were writed up together to provide a simulation of a mathematical equation. ENIAC wasn't so different just digital.
The First?
So was ENIAC the first electronic digital computer?
You can now see that the question is a difficult one as it all depends what you mean by digital computer.
The serious challengers for the title are the Colossus - a secret code breaking computer built in the UK, Konrad Zuse's relay/electronic machines built in Germany and the Atanasoff-Berry Computer. Each of these had differences from modern machines - the Colossus was programmed using hardware and not general purpose. The ABC used binary was programmed using hardware and only solved linear equations. Zuse's Z3 machine looked more like a modern computer than the other two but lacked conditional branching.
If you restrict the definition of computer to stored program computer then the Manchester "Baby" is probably the best candidated for the first.
The biggest problem in constructing a stored program computer was how to achieve the large amount of memory needed to store the program and the data.
Using vacuum tubes was prohibitively expensive. Eckert suggested using mercury delay lines of the type used to store radar pulses and this indeed proved possible. However, EDVAC, his next computer, wasn't the first stored program computer to be put into operation. Manchester University built and operated a prototype in 1948 and EDSAC at the University of Cambridge was completed in 1949 but EDVAC wasn't completed until 1952.
After ENIAC
After ENIAC came EDVAC, a true stored program computer. Instead of having to be programmed using plug boards and wires, EDVAC stored its instructions along with its data in the manner of all computers since.
The idea for a stored program computer is attributed to Von Neumann as a consequence of his accidental meeting with Goldstine on a railway platform. However no idea is completely new and it is possible that Presper Eckert had a hand in it.
The strange twist to this story is that Mauchly and Eckert left the EDVAC project before it was completed. The reason was that the University of Pennsylvania insisted that all inventions patents etc. created by people working for it were the property of the University. Mauchly and Eckert refused to sign the release giving the University the rights to the technology that they had created.
As a result they left, the Moore School lost the lead in computing and the first computer company - The Electronic Control Company - came into existence.
This may not seem like of a gamble, but leaving secure university jobs to start an industry which some experts had said would have a market of only six machines in the whole of the USA was very risky. They failed to find backers and Eckert's father put up the $25000 needed - and so once again set the tone for future startups!
They tried to find a buyer for their planned machine and for the second time in the history of computing the US Census Bureau fitted the bill. The first time it was Hollerith's punch cards and associated equipment but for the imminent 1950 census punched cards looked distinctly impractical. Keen to use electronics they placed the first commercial order for a computer - Mauchly and Eckert's UNIVersal Automated Computer, i.e. UNIVAC - in 1946 for $350,270.
UNIVAC at the US Census Bureau
Work began in 1946 but neither Mauchly or Eckert were reasonable managers and they quickly fell behind schedule and ran into debt. Even so they managed to find a total of four buyers for their machine and pioneered new revolutionary techniques such as digital tape drives for data storage. But lack of funds remained their main problem.
In 1950 the re-named Eckert-Mauchly Computer Company was taken over by Remington Rand - yes, the people who made razors and assorted office equipment!
Remington paid $200,000 to Eckert and Mauchly and guaranteed their employment for eight years.
In 1951 the first Univac was delivered, late and over budget. Univac was the first commercial computer in the US (LEO 1 was produced commercially in the UK in the same year) and, proving the pessimists wrong, various companies immediately ordered a total of 50.
J. Presper Eckert and CBS anchor Walter Cronkite discuss the UNIVAC 1952 US Presidential Election prediction
UNIVAC became an overnight TV star when it correctly predicted the outcome of the US presidential elections again proving the pundits wrong. The headlines the next day read "Machine Makes Monkey Out of Man" and the modern era of computing was well and truly started. Remmington Rand, and more or less everyone else, eventually lost the lead to a late starter in the computer field - IBM - but that's another story.

(Renewables Now, 8.Apr.2019) — Italian energy major Enel SpA inaugurated on Friday an 86.2-MW solar photovoltaic (PV) farm in Colombia's Cesar department.
The company's local renewables subsidiary, Enel Green Power Colombia (EGPC), has invested nearly USD 70 million (EUR 62.3m) in the El Paso PV farm, the local energy ministry announced.
Considered to be the largest facility of this kind currently in operation in the country, the El Paso plant consists of around 250,000 solar panels spread over a 210-hectare (519 acres) area.
El Paso was awarded a 87.6 GWh per year supply deal, starting from 2022, during the country's recent reliability charge auction. In all, Enel secured the supply of 740 GWh from five renewable power plants in Colombia.
The PV facility is expected to be able to produce some 176 GWh of electricity per year, enough to meet the annual demand of approximately 102,000 Colombian households, while offsetting around 100,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions every year.

Facebook Status Update Background Colors Rolling Out
Encouraging its 1+ billion users to share more often, Facebook status update background colors are rolling out to Android, iOS, and desktop devices…
Facebook is introducing status update background colors to inspire its users to share more often. The social giant already launched its big text format, which works with short status updates. Now, it's providing users with more options to better compete with other media, such as images and video.
Facebook Status Update Background Colors to Appear Across All Devices
The new feature allows users to select from seven different color choices other than the traditional white background. Several of the choices offer an Instagram logo-style color scheme, making them more interesting and stylish compared to flat colors.
The option, reported to TechCrunch by a reader, isn't yet available to all users but the social network confirmed over the next few days, everyone will see these in their News Feed. "We're rolling out a change to help people make their text posts more visual. Starting today, people can update the background color of their text-only posts on Android," a company spokesperson wrote yesterday.
Facebook is experiencing a decline in its "original content broadcasting." Original user posts were down 21 percent in a year-over-year comparison as of mid-2015. Original broadcast sharing also fell by 15 percent in another year-over-year comparison as of April.
The company downplays this phenomenon but it is known professional publisher content is growing at a faster rate than original sharing, Adam Mosseri, VP of News told TechCrunch Disrupt SF in September.
At the beginning of December, Facebook started testing location frames, a feature similar to Snapchat geofilters. The social platform also started testing a job openings feature to rival LinkedIn back in November.
Thanks for taking a few moments of your time to read this; if you like this information, please share it with your friends!

Q: Firebase User Auth check in App delegate I have implemented Firebase Auth and Firebase Database in app delegate which checks if the user is logged in or not.It checks in a 'users' node in Database to see if there is an userid in child snapshots or not and this operation takes about 2-3 seconds.
 func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplicationLaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
    // Override point for customization after application launch.
    FirebaseApp.configure()

    if let uid = Auth.auth().currentUser?.uid {
        Database.database().reference().child("users").child(uid).observeSingleEvent(of: .value, with: { snapshot in
            if snapshot.exists() {
                print("App Delegate: User found!")
                let storyboard = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil)
                let vc  = storyboard.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "Main")
                self.window?.rootViewController = vc
                self.window?.makeKeyAndVisible()
            }
            else{
                print("App Delegate: User not found!")
                let storyboard = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil)
                let vc  = storyboard.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "Login")
                self.window?.rootViewController = vc
                self.window?.makeKeyAndVisible()
        }
        })
    }
    return true
}

The Login viewController is the Initial viewController. When launch screen fades out, the login viewController is show and if the user is logged in, the Main viewController is shown but in this case, there is a time interval of 2-3 secs for which the Login viewController is being shown.
I tried to implement NavigationController too but same problem.
So how can I not show Login viewController if the user is logged in and go straight to the Main viewController and manage that 2-3 time seconds of time interval effectively.

A: Keep track isLogin variable in local session make it true and false while login and logout successful. When the first login then checks your session variable isLogin. You can save the session in UserDefault or Keychain. This way you can avoid your issue.
Or you just need to check this way:
if FIRAuth.auth().currentUser != nil {
   presentHome()
} else {
 //User Not logged in
}

After that when you navigated to desire viewController do rest of the things there.

Le théâtre documentaire est une forme de théâtre qui traite d'évènements politiques ou sociaux historiques ou contemporains qui font fonction de sources des reportages, des comptes rendus, des interviews et autres documents juridiques ou historiques. Bien que le matériel authentique soit rendu en règle générale de manière inchangée, il s'agit d'une forme d'art fictionnelle.

Principe

Le principe du théâtre documentaire réside dans la composition du matériel de base et dans la concentration sur l'essentiel : ce qui n'est pas important est supprimé, afin d'atteindre une prise de conscience menant à la confrontation et l'agitation. On vise au réalisme, pas au naturalisme. Le but d'une pièce de théâtre documentaire est la prise de conscience politique (mais souvent également la condamnation d'un des partis concernés). On renonce par ailleurs à une authenticité qui serait intimidante, comme une reproduction fidèle d'une salle d'audience, pour ne pas détourner inutilement le spectateur des faits.

Histoire
Cette forme de théâtre est initié par le metteur en scène allemand Erwin Piscator dont on peut retrouver les recherches dans «  ». Erwin Piscator, marxiste révolutionnaire, est convaincu que le théâtre doit être « un moyen parmi tant d'autres dans la lutte des classes ». Il désire que son théâtre ait un effet politique sur le réel. Ainsi, il proposera d'utiliser toutes sortes de matériaux issus du réel (extrait de discours, articles, compte rendu) afin d'en faire la critique sur scène et de montrer au public une autre version de l'Histoire. Ce type de création sera repris et précisé plus tard avec Peter Weiss.

Entre 1963 et 1965,  Peter Weiss, auteur suédois d'expression allemande, assiste au procès de vingt-deux responsables du camp d'extermination d'Auschwitz. À partir de ses notes, il écrit L'Instruction (1965), pièce qui lui permettra de développer sa théorie du théâtre documentaire : « Le théâtre documentaire adopte un point de vue contre le point de vue médiatique. En effet, il s'oppose aux médias de masses - et plus largement à l'État - qui manipulent l'information. Alors que les médias tendent à cacher, à camoufler, et à corrompre la vérité, le théâtre documentaire, quant à lui, fait lumière sur des événements et conflits géopolitiques, en s'inspirant de sources fiables et en en rendant compte fidèlement. »

Parmi les autres pièces les plus souvent citées, on trouve Le Vicaire de Rolf Hochhuth,  de Heinar Kipphardt et plus tard Bruder Eichmann de Kipphardt.

Représentants
Une renaissance du théâtre documentaire germanophone se dessine à partir de la fin des années 1990. Plutôt dans la tradition classique du théâtre documentaire, on y trouve  et Andres Veiel. La pièce de Veiel Der Kick, dont le texte est fondé sur des interviews de participants à un meurtre, de proches des victimes et de témoins, est invitée en 2006 au Berliner Theatertreffen. Lors du même festival, le collectif de metteurs en scène Rimini Protokoll est représenté pour la deuxième fois avec sa mise en scène documentaire d'après Wallenstein de Friedrich Schiller. Les trois membres du Rimini Protokoll (Helgard Haug, Stefan Kaegi et Daniel Wetzel) sont considérés comme les fondateurs d'une renaissance et d'une nouvelle définition du théâtre documentaire. Parmi les projets du Rimini Protokoll depuis la fin des années 1990, ce n'est pas le matériel recherché qui est au premier plan, mais les protagonistes de ces évènements, qui entrent eux-mêmes en scène. À l'inverse des films documentaires, ces « experts du quotidien » renouvellent leur entrée en scène à chaque représentation. Et à la différence du théâtre amateur, ils n'essayent pas de jouer : les personnes représentées conservent leur propre authenticité et leur propre histoire à l'intérieur du cadre artistique du théâtre.

En Belgique, Jacques Delcuvellerie recrée dans Rwanda 94 spectacle du collectif Groupov, une forme nouvelle de documentaire théâtral.

Entre-temps, tout un groupe d'auteurs-metteurs en scène - forme jeune du théâtre documentaire, aussi désignée sous le terme Experten-Theater (théâtre d'experts). Une illustration des conflits qui peuvent apparaître du fait de l'entrée nouvelle du documentaire au théâtre est par exemple l'interdiction de la mise en scène de Volker Lösch de la pièce Die Weber de Gerhart Hauptmann en 2004 au Staatsschauspiel de Dresde : dans la mise en scène, un chœur de 33 véritables chômeurs devait entrer en scène avec un collage de textes basé sur leurs propres peurs et inquiétudes. La raison invoquée était la protection légale du texte original.

En 2013, Matthias Hartmann, en collaboration avec Doron Rabinovici, ose une toute nouvelle forme de théâtre documentaire avec le projet  (« Les Derniers Témoins ») au Burgtheater de Vienne, dans lequel il met en scène six témoins de l'Holocauste, dont il fait lire les textes par des acteurs du Burgtheater.

En France
En France, l'un des précurseurs du théâtre documentaire est Michel Schweizer. Tout au long de sa carrière, il invite sur scène des personnalités parfois très éloignées du milieu du spectacle, au plus proche de leur intériorité. Des philosophes (Bleib), de jeunes adultes (Fauves) puis des adolescents (Cheptel), des danseurs étoiles retraités (Cartel), des handicapés (Les Diables), une strip-teaseuse ou même des chiens (Ô Queens). Par la suite, Mohamed El Khatib écrira d'abord des spectacles inspirés de sa propre vie (Finir en beauté) avant d'inviter sur scène, à son tour, des personnalités hors normes : une femme de ménage (Moi, Corinne Dadat), les supporters du Racing Club de Lens (Stadium) ou un groupe d'enfants de parents divorcés (La Dispute). Du côté de la danse, Jérôme Bel s'intéresse lui aussi au documentaire invitant des interprètes à témoigner de leur vécu dans des solos et duos contés et dansés, avec notamment Véronique Doisneau (danseuse du corps de ballet de l'Opéra de Paris), Cédric Andrieux (danseur de Merce Cunningham), Valérie Dréville (actrice) ou encore le danseur traditionnel thaïlandais Pichet Klunchun. La Compagnie Un Pas de Côté développe depuis 2003 de véritable reconstitutions à partir d'enquêtes et de reportages recueillis par Nicolas Lambert ou Sylvie Gravagna. De même, Milo Rau travaille à la reconstitution scénique d'histoires réelles.

Critique

Les approches visant à une fondation théorique du « théâtre documentaire », poursuivies et renforcées depuis les années 1970 par Klaus Harro Hilzinger, Arnold Blumer ou Brian Barton, sont dans le contexte des nouvelles approches littéraires de plus en plus critiquées. En raison de l'esthétisation généralisée de documents issus d'un système de référence non littéraire (c'est-à-dire des matériaux historiques réels), le concept de théâtre documentaire est parfois perçu comme un « théorème » controversé ou est fondamentalement rejeté. Des objections méthodiques similaires visent des concepts littéraires comparables tels que la « littérature documentaire », le « roman documentaire » ou le « drame documentaire ».

Les autres genres artistiques au format « documentaire » sont appréciés de façon variable. Dans le domaine cinématographique seulement, la catégorie du documentaire avec le « film documentaire » est fermement établie, que ce soit dans la littérature secondaire ou dans l'usage général. Depuis les années 1990 s'y sont ajoutés de nouveaux concepts comme le «  » ou le «  ». En revanche, la catégorie de la photographie documentaire est éloignée de cette définition.

Lately, whenever I hold a whiteboard discussion on collective intelligence, customers, prospects, analysts and even my fellow Dell team members give me their full attention. Now, people have talked about collective intelligence for ages, but I think what drives the point home now more than ever before is the success we're seeing with crowdfunding and crowdsourcing.
There's an important lesson from crowdsourcing that data scientists need to learn: there's greater value in your information if you can share it more readily with more people. The collective intelligence you can gather will be far richer than if it had stayed within the confines of the corporate walls.
Let's face it, intelligence is not evenly distributed in this world. But there are lots of folks who are very good at building models and want to make them available for the greater good. By tapping into this shared, group intelligence, companies of all kinds can make better business decisions. Perhaps that's why I get similar levels of excitement whether I'm talking to a Silicon Valley start-up, healthcare organization, energy company or high-tech manufacturer.
After all, why rely on four or five data scientists in your own organization when you can turn to data scientists around the world for insight and perspective? This is the winning approach taken by Apervita, a leading health analytics community and soon-to-be Dell partner, which empowers health professionals and enterprises to capture and share health knowledge. They're smart about facilitating collective intelligence by simplifying how people author, publish and use health analytics, including algorithms, quality and safety measures, pathways and protocols.
In February, the Mayo Clinic joined the Apervita community to share its extensive portfolio of algorithms covering specialties, such as cardiovascular, pulmonology and oncology. The goal: To make it easy for physicians to sift through all the Mayo Clinic's cardiovascular data, for instance, so they can automatically identify patients at risk for sudden cardiac arrest, which is the leading cause of death among adults over the age of 40.
In May, the Cleveland Clinic joined the Apervita community to share its advanced prediction models and wealth of medical knowledge with a broader audience. By liberating all this data and putting the collective knowledge to work, these organizations and Apervita are making it much easier for health researchers and practitioners worldwide to have a positive global impact on health.
The beauty of Apervita's cloud-based approach is in the simplicity and openness of its platform, which enables anyone, anywhere to create and subscribe to analytics and then easily integrate them into their workflows. This is the same approach taken by Algorithmia, which launched in 2013 with the goal of advancing the art of algorithm development, discovery and use.
Dublin, Ireland-based ExpertModels is another innovative group with an open, online platform for sharing data insights as well as building, requesting or marketing data sets, analytical models and data science expertise. The openness of these data markets and communities is what makes them an ideal conduit for collective intelligence. That's also what truly differentiates Statistica because the sheer openness of its architecture makes it possible to blend the best of these models through a common repository.
By opening our platform to other environments, Dell has empowered organizations to take models from Algorithmia, Azure ML, ExpertModels, etc., and knit them together in new workflows to increase interaction and collaboration. It's a great example of how we're helping customers get smarter about collective intelligence—and we're the only company that can deliver this level of integration.
It's one of the reasons Borden Chemical initially chose Statistica as an analysis platform at over 30 sites worldwide. A leading supplier of high-performance resins, adhesives, coatings and basic chemicals to a broad range of industries and thousands of end-use applications, Borden integrated Statistica with its SAP and Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS). By taking advantage of Statistica's open, distributed architecture, the company easily empowered more than 150 researchers, quality control engineers and technical consultants to combine their collective intelligence worldwide to simplify complex data analyses and reporting.
I'm confident this collective intelligence message will continue to resonate, especially as we share more examples of all the amazing things we can accomplish with distributed intelligence. After all, we've always known that "two heads are better than one," so think of what can be done when you amplify that with hundreds of thousands of smart people and interactive models.
How can you increase your company's collective intelligence? Drop me a line with ideas on how to get smarter about collective intelligence.

Q: Mysterious scheme procedure for cycling through lists There is this procedure giving me trouble:
(define (pro lst)
  (define (inner l)
    (if (null? (mcdr l))
        (set-mcdr! l lst)
        (inner (mcdr l))))
  (inner lst)
  lst)

Using (mlist 1 2 3) as parameter I get #0={1 2 3 . #0#} returned.
(mcdr (pro (mlist 1 2 3))) returns #0={2 3 1 . #0#},
(mcdr (mcdr (pro (mlist 1 2 3)))) returns #0={3 1 2 . #0#} and so on.
So obviously this is for cycling through lists by returning a pair of a list and another procedure. But how does this work? I only see that it replaces the final'() with the parameter lst but not with any obscure lambda function ...
What do #0 and #0# mean anyway?

A: The #0= indicates a shared marker to some data, and #0# indicates a reference to the data previously marked. See the examples at the bottom of http://docs.racket-lang.org/reference/shared.html . Your function doesn't return a pair of things, just a single value - the last expression in the body of the definition, which is lst. But as you perhaps realize, the lst at the end has potentially been mutated so that it is different than what it was when initially passed to the function. (You use the term "cycling" which is exactly what this function does, but not quite in the sense that you've applied it in your question.)

A: In the expression #0={1 2 3 . #0#}, think of #0= as an anchor and #0# as a link to that anchor - that is, in the list the first three elements are 1 2 3 but the fourth element is a pointer to the start of the list, therefore forming a three-element circular list. If you keep advancing over that list (by successive mcdrs), you'll see a three element list in a cycling pattern 1 2 3 1 2 3 ..., always showing that the fourth element jumps back to the first.
Studying the above function makes it clear why this is happenning. The pro procedure simply calls inner on the lst parameter (a proper list, a list with null as its last element) and then returns the modified lst, the interesting part is what happens in inner:

*

*(if (null? (mcdr l)): If we're on the last non-null element of the list, replace the next element (which should be a null in a proper list), by a reference to the first element, which we know is in the lst parameter: (set-mcdr! l lst)

*Otherwise, keep advancing over the list: (inner (mcdr l))
To summarize: the pro procedure gets as its input a proper list and returns the same list but with the last element pointing back to its first element - a circular list.

Since 2001, RMOMS has developed multiple systems of offender management that range from sobriety monitoring and one-on-one case management supervision, to the latest in electronic offender tracking and monitoring. Our services are currently being used by State governments as a form of prison population management, as intensive supervision of high-risk parolees, and as a system of resource management for swelling probation populations needing direct supervision.
RMOMS also works with County and Municipal government agencies to provide local jail population mitigation programs using our electronic monitoring technology, as well as case management supervision and day reporting programs. These programs are provided as sentencing alternatives, as population management programs, or as pre-trial supervision programs.
Our experience ranges from supervision of drinking, driving and domestic-violence offenders, to providing full-service solutions to Drug and DUI Courts, and to the tracking of the highest-risk sexually violent predators released into our communities under Probation or Parole conditions.
Regardless of the size of your program, RMOMS has the ability to customize a non-residential solution for your agency that can be funded by the offender, by the agency, or through a combination of the two.

Regintech released Skype gateway software version 22 to resolve dialing PBX extension problems | REGIN TECHNOLOGY CORP., LTD.
Skype changed DTMF sending support during a Skype to Skype call and our Skype gateway products SkyGW4C-S and SkyGWO had problems to support PBX extension number dialing for incoming Skype calls. But there is no DTMF sending problem during SkypeOut calls via our Skype gateway. We spent lots of efforts to resolve this problem. With the new release version 22, now employees just dial extension from their desk phones as they did before to call branch office colleague's extension via Skype gateway.
The new release also resolve non-Skype-gateway caller's failure of accessing PBX extension number because of lacking Skype dial pad or DTMF sending failure when he/she called your company's Skype gateway. Calling to Skype gateway, incoming Skype callers can send Skype chat message like *123 to the calling Skype account for extension number 123. Skype gateway system will also send out Skype chat message to the Skype callers to remind them to send Skype chat message " * + extension number" for the extension.
Another good thing is offices installing with our single port gateway products like SkyATA or SkyBox S1 can enjoy convenient extension calls with main offices installing SkyGW4C-S or SkyGWO. Main office employees can also make Skype calls to the smaller offices and dial extension from desk phones. Please update SkyATA and SkyBox S1 software to the latest version to enjoy the benefits.
The new software also improve a lot on software stability and fix some problems. For the major modify list, user can click " Check for latest update" from the gateway system tray icon at the right bottom corner of your Windows desktop. Please download and run it. If you have any problem to use the new software, please don't be hesitated to contact us. Thanks.

Denny Hamlin takes pole for Coca-Cola 600 in record time
Don Coble
CONCORD, N.C. - Denny Hamlin's difficult, if not improbable, climb to qualify for the Chase for the Championship as a wild-card entry got a lift Thursday when he won the pole for the Coca-Cola 600.
After missing four races with a broken back, Hamlin not only turned the fastest lap at Charlotte Motor Speedway, he shattered the track record at 195.624 mph.
The only way Hamlin can get into the playoffs is to win a race or two in the next 15 events and finish among the top 20 in the points standings.
"We have a mission ahead, and that's making the Chase," Hamlin said. "You have to have every advantage you can. Hopefully, this is a good sign of things to come. Any confidence booster for me is a positive step."
He is 26th in the current standings heading into Sunday's 600-mile marathon. More important, he's 61 points from the top 20.
A possible victory - and a jet-fast No. 11 Toyota - would go a long way to getting Hamlin back into contention.
While NASCAR's new Generation-6 race car has yet to produce a lot of side-by-side racing as hoped, it has proven to be fast.
Hamlin's record was the seventh record set this year in 10 qualifying sessions this year.
Two other time trials this year were rained out.
Eight of 44 drivers broke Greg Biffle's eight-month-old track record of 192.708 mph.
"You hear a lot of drivers talk about the commitment level," Hamlin said. "You still have to have a fast car. It takes so much nerve to do that. Proud to be back on the racetrack. We're getting things going right now. This is like a victory for me."
Kurt Busch set the tone early with a lap of 195.221 mph that had everyone on pit road wondering just how much the record would fall.
Busch wound up second.
"I didn't do my job," Busch said. "That shows how much these guys are doing their job here. They keep bringing new pieces every week. I left some speed out there."
Busch said he didn't attack the third and fourth turns as hard as he could have.
Matt Kenseth was third at 195.094 mph, followed by Mark Martin in fourth, Clint Bowyer, Kasey Kahne, Biffle, Kyle Busch, Jamie McMurray and Ryan Newman.
"That ain't even close," Martin said. "I knew it was fast, but it wasn't even close."
"That was all the speed we had," Biffle said.
DRAG-RACING CHAMPION TO TURN LEFT
Defending NHRA Top Fuel champion Antron Brown will make left turns Tuesday when he tests a NASCAR K&N Series Toyota stock car at Motor Miles Speedway in Radford, Va.
As a payback, stock-car driver Clint Bowyer will make a 1,000-foot pass in Brown's dragster.
"We're going to take it one step at a time, and after this weekend here, we can grow from it when we go testing in Virginia," Brown said Thursday at Charlotte Motor Speedway. "We're going to shoot for that first, and then we'll take it one step at a time."
Until he completes the test and gets a sense for the differences in the cars, Brown isn't ready to commit to anything outside his full-time job with Don Schumacher Racing in the NHRA.
Brown, who generally surpasses the 315-mph barrier on a single pass, said he still will be apprehensive about driving 100 mph in a stock car.
"Racing is never slow. It doesn't make a difference what it is," he said. "I never thought of racing as being a certain speed. I always thought about it as being competitive - side-by-side - and that's the part that drives any racer."

NYCFC and the value of soccer-specificity
October 14, 2019 by Clemente Lisi
By Clemente Lisi – NEW YORK, NY (Oct 14, 2019) US Soccer Players – Playoff fever has certainly gripped New York. With the brisk fall weather this month comes another season where baseball fans hope their beloved Yankees can win yet another World Series. At the same time, both NYCFC and the Red Bulls are in the playoffs. While the intersecting of baseball and soccer is rare, it's not entirely something that's out of the ordinary. The biggest concern to emerge over the past few weeks is the possibility that both the Yankees and New York City FC could go deep into the postseason. That would be a logistical nightmare for one of the two teams that share Yankee stadium.
It has already been an arduous task throughout the spring and summer to convert Yankee Stadium into an MLS facility. It's not an ideal situation for either team. That's why MLS has insisted on expansion teams playing in soccer-specific stadiums. It's why even older MLS teams have opted to build their own homes, shunning baseball diamonds and NFL stadiums in the process.
The situation now with both teams in the playoffs highlights the problem for a soccer team doesn't have a stadium to call its own. As of now, the schedule could see the Yankees and NYCFC crossing paths at home. If that happens, it's no surprise that the team with their name on the building takes priority. This happened back in September of 2017 when a makeup date for the Yankees pushed an NYCFC game to Rentschler Field in East Hartford, CT. That resulted in plenty of trolling by the Red Bulls and their fans on social media.
NYCFC has been searching for a new home from the beginning. Yankee Stadium became a temporary site in part because the baseball club owns a 20% stake in the soccer team. City Football Group owns the rest as the club's investor/operator. The hunt for a soccer stadium within the five boroughs is still on.
Should the Yankees defeat the Houston Astros in the American League Championship Series, that's when scheduling conflicts with NYCFC would emerge. NYCFC plays in the Eastern Conference semifinals on October 27 at home. That's the same day that Game 2 of the World Series would also take place. It's very likely that the Yankees could be hosting that game.
As a result, NYCFC already has a contingency plan in place. The team would play its home playoff matches in nearby Queens at Citi Field, the other Major League Baseball stadium in New York City. That plan isn't as bad as playing in East Hartford, but it's not what anybody associated with NYCFC or MLS would want. NYCFC had to move a second home game back in 2017 due to the Yankees, playing out their Decision Day finale at Citi Field.
"We're extremely proud of the team's achievement this season and finishing top of the Eastern Conference will provide us with a great platform as we enter our fourth consecutive playoff campaign," said NYCFC Sporting Director Claudio Reyna. "Should Yankee Stadium be unavailable, we feel extremely comfortable playing our games at Citi Field which has proven to be an excellent alternative venue for the club."
By clinching the top spot in the Eastern Conference, NYCFC would play at home for every game in the postseason. They would also host MLS Cup should Los Angeles FC, the Supporters' Shield winners, fail to reach the championship game. As a result, Citi Field would also host the Eastern Conference final, either on October 29 or 30, should NYCFC get that far. Games 6 and 7 of the World Series are on those days.
Scheduling conflicts remain should NYCFC advance and LAFC doesn't. The 2019 MLS Cup is set for November 10 as the top-ranked seed, they would potentially need to find another alternative venue. Yankee Stadium is scheduled to host a college football game between Princeton and Dartmouth the previous day, meaning that the stadium would have just 24 hours to convert the field to soccer. It currently takes the stadium crew three days to switch Yankee Stadium from baseball to soccer. Citi Field, meanwhile, will be hosting StadiumLinks golf that weekend. Another alternate venue for the league's marquee game is something MLS wouldn't want to see.

Cardinals QB Sam Bradford says 'it's challenging' dealing with new role
Maximo Gonzales
It has been nearly three weeks since the Arizona Cardinals demoted quarterback Sam Bradford to third-string. It appears he still has yet to get adjusted to his new role.
Bradford has been inactive ever since he was benched. According to Darren Urban of the team's official website, he acknowledged that the transition has been difficult.
"It is challenging," Bradford acknowledged. "But you kind of have to push your pride aside. My role has changed. But I still have a job to do, I'm still part of this team, and I am still going to do everything I can to help this team. It's just figuring it out how I can do that in this new role."
It is easy to see why Bradford may be having a tough time. He signed a lucrative two-year deal with Arizona hoping that he would help stabilize the offense under center. Unfortunately, it became evident early on that the Cardinals were ready to move on.
Bradford started the first three games of the season. He completed 50-of-80 passes for 400 yards, two touchdowns, and four interceptions during that span. As a result, head coach Steve Wilks decided to hand the keys over to quarterback Josh Rosen. Meanwhile, Bradford has fallen behind Mike Glennon as the third quarterback on the depth chart.
While the veteran's situation is unfortunate, it was also expected given his lackluster play. Arizona is still the worst-ranked offense in the NFL by a number of metrics. However, Rosen has shown enough to promise to secure his job for the near future.

Hailee Steinfeld is the cover star of Who What Wear U.S.'s Holiday Issue, and her photo shoot leaned heavily on British brands including Christopher Kane, Solace London, Joseph and A.W.A.K.E. This reflects the British influence she has within her own wardrobe, as Hailee revealed that she always tries to re-create the outfits she sees in London.
As for the outfit that makes her feel the most confident? "There's something that feels really good about putting on baggy sweats and a hoodie and feeling comfortable. And a pair of Doc Martens you can walk in as long as you need to. Then there's the complete opposite of that when you wear something that's more fitted.

Boster's ELISA Kit is for the detection of free, unbound human Hsp27 in cell lysates, tissue extracts, and human serum samples. The latter matrix has significant quantities of Hsp27-complexing components which can obscure the detection of Hsp27 by this assay. Each kit contains sufficient components to quantitate the Hsp27 concentration in up to 40 samples, tested in duplicate.
Colorimetric detection of HSP27. 96wells/kit, with removable strips.
HSP27s belong to an abundant and ubiquitous family of small heat shock proteins (sHSP). It is an important HSP found in both normal human cells and cancer cells. The basic structure of most sHSPs is a homologous and highly conserved amino acid sequence, with an alpha-crystallin-domain at the C-terminus and the WD/EPF domain at the less conserved N-terminus. This N-terminus is essential for the development of high molecular oligomers. HSP27-oligomers consist of stable dimers formed by as many as 8-40 HSP27 protein monomers. The oligomerization status is connected with the chaperone activity: aggregates of large oligomers have high chaperone activity, whereas dimers have no chaperone activity. HSP27 is localized to the cytoplasm of unstressed cells but can redistribute to the nucleus in response to stress, where it may function to stabilize DNA and/or the nuclear membrane. Other functions include chaperone activity (as mentioned above), thermotolerance invivo, inhibition of apoptosis, and signal transduction. Specifically, in vitro, it acts as an ATP-independent chaperone by inhibiting protein aggregation and by stabilizing partially denatured proteins, which ensures refolding of the HSP70 complex. HSP27 is also involved in the apoptotic signaling pathway because it interferes with the activation of cytochrome c/Apaf-1/dATP complex, thereby inhibiting the activation of procaspase-9. It is also hypothesized that HSP27 may serve some role in cross-bridge formation between actin and myosin. And finally, HSP27 is also thought to be involved in the process of cell differentiation. The up-regulation of HSP27 correlates with the rate of phosphorylation and with an increase of large oligomers. It is possible that HSP27 may play a crucial role in termination of growth.
Typical Standard Curve for the HSP27 ELISA Kit (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay)–EK7110 Assay Type: Sandwich ELISA. Detection Method: Colorimetric Assay. Assay Range: 0.2 – 13 ng/mL.

Home News Galaxy S10 – Nasty Surprised Confirmed By Leak
Galaxy S10 – Nasty Surprised Confirmed By Leak
Juana Rivers November 12, 2018 0 Comment
Are you feeling excited about the 10-th anniversary Samsung Galaxy S10? There's no surprise there. According to some leaks which have been revealed, it will come with an ultrasonic in-display reader, triple rear cameras, a 5G options and gradient color schemes. However, there may be quite a few who won't really like the design.
After Samsung admitted to its willingness of embracing display notches in new Galaxy smartphones, people assumed that it wouldn't be the case for the Galaxy S10. Samsung revealed the notch designs last week and along with them it introduced the 'New Infinity', a bezel-less, notch-less display widely assumed to be specially designed for the special 10th-anniversary phone.
It doesn't seem to be the case. Ice Universe, perhaps the most influential Samsung leaker now, tweeted twice, revealing that New Infinity won't be ready in time for the release of the Galaxy S10. He stated that "the hidden camera technology under the screen is immature, and there is not enough light to reach the camera through the screen. The photos taken by the current camera are very blurred. This technology will not be realized until 2020".
Instead, according to Ice we must understand that the Galaxy S10 will use the 'Infinity O' which is a display that comes with a single circular cutout for the camera which is placed in a really weird place. Granted, this must look better than a chunky notch, especially if it is centered, but it also confirms a further limitation for the Galaxy S10: it leaves no space for a facial recognition sensor.
According to a leak from last week, Samsung seems to abandon the new Face ID rivaling technology it had been developing for years along with the headphone jack next year. In conclusion, expect the Galaxy S10 to be a really polarizing device.

This was our first attempt at long distance walking. We had a light weight tent (Terra Nova Voyager XL), down sleeping bags,tranga,a set of lightweight clothes that would dry quickly (Zip off trousers, walking shirt, fleece, waterproofs),water purifying bottle, sporks, small foldable lightweight cooking utensils, hand wash. We had a pack each, and both weighed in under 13kg.
We caught the National Express overnight coach to Panzance and arrived at about 9am ready to begin the adventure. First stop was a small cafe for breakfast, and some Cornish pasties from the nearby bakery. We then walked along the coastal path to Merazion to a small campsite not far from the beach. This is a short distance which after a long night in the coach was appreciated, the following day we packed early and began the first part of the walk back along the coastal path to Panzance and up the steep hill to the next site.

Review: Revenant Gun by Yoon Ha Lee
When Shuos Jedao wakes up for the first time in Revenant Gun, several things go wrong. His few memories tell him that he's a seventeen-year-old cadet– but his body belongs to a man decades older. Hexarch Nirai Kujen orders Jedao to reconquer the fractured hexarchate on his behalf even though Jedao has no memory of ever being a soldier, let alone a general. Surely a knack for video games doesn't qualify you to take charge of an army?
Soon Jedao learns the situation is even worse. The Kel soldiers under his command may be compelled to obey him, but they hate him thanks to a massacre he can't remember committing. Kujen's friendliness can't hide the fact that he's a tyrant. And what's worse, Jedao and Kujen are being hunted by an enemy who knows more about Jedao and his crimes than he does himself… (via Goodreads)
I received an eARC of Revenant Gun via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
Revenant Gun is the final book in a trilogy that has quite frankly blown my mind. I have been a fan of science fiction since before I can remember. The entire series has kept me on the edge of my seat. I reviewed Raven Stratagem last year. Even expecting all of that, Revenant Gun was a constant surprise.
Like both of the other books, Revenant Gun needs some really heavy content warnings for death of main character, suicide of important side character, death of many side characters, body horror, mind control, removal of memories, violence, broken limbs, suicidal ideation by MC, clones, dubious consent relating to mind control, mentions of genocide, mentions of sensory deprivation, sentient spaceships, sterility, and probably some more things that I'm missing. This is a very, very heavy read. Please take that into account when looking into this series.
One thing I love about Yoon Ha Lee's writing is this. No matter which character he's focusing on, they are all morally grey and they are all intensely human. In Revenant Gun, we get to see the world through several different perspectives including Cheris, Jedao 2, a servitor named Hemiola, and General Brezan. Each perspective offers an important piece of the puzzle that is this story and its background. So much happens in Revenant Gun, but I came out of it feeling like I know each and every one of the characters and their hobbies. It's really astonishing.
The next thing I would like to talk about is Kujen. You will hate him with every fiber of your being AND you'll probably want to borrow some fibers to hate him some more. If you're looking, Mikodez probably has plenty you could borrow in his yarn stash. Kujen is The Worst™. And yet, you can almost understand why he is the way he is, from the history we learn through his archives and what he reveals to each character. While he was a monster, he was also entirely, horribly human.
Revenant Gun was a great finale to the trilogy. It was solid, it was blazing, and it was real. And most of all, it was satisfying for both Cheris and Jedao in their own way. If you loved the first two books in the series, Revenant Gun won't let you down. Pick up a copy on Amazon or Indiebound!

Q: Regex for mass replacement of tuple syntax to export const in JavaScript I have lots of files that have a tuple syntax which I want to rewrite to upgrade to the latest storybook. The files look like this:
['AcknowledgementsSection', () => <AcknowledgementsSection />],
['AuthorizedUserSection', () => <AuthorizedUserSectionWithStore />],
['AuthorizedUserAlert', () => <AuthorizedUserAlert />],

I want to do a global search and replace in VS Code so that the output looks like this:
export const acknowledgementsSection = () => <AcknowledgementsSection />;
export const authorizedSection = () => <AuthorizedSectionWithStore />;
export const authorizedAlert = () => <AuthorizedAlert />;

Here's what I'm trying so far:
\[('.*'), \(\) => (.*),
How could I use this in VS code to replace everything correctly?
Update post accepted answer
Edge case I have is
['Decline Modal', () => <DeclineModal />],

and need to concatenate the capture group
export const declineModal = () => <DeclineModal />;

A: One option is to make the match a bit more specific, and then use \l before the first capturing group in the replacement.
Search
\['([^']*)', (\(\) => <[^<>]*>)\],

Regex demo
Replace
export const \l$1 $2;

The pattern matches

*

*\[' Match ['

*([^']*) Capture in group 1 matching any char except ' or a newline

*',  Match a comma and space

*( Capture group 2

*

*\(\) => <[^<>]*> Match () =>  followed by matching from < till >

*) Close group 2

*\], Match ],


The scent of freshly-baked apple strudel and other seasonal sweets pervade the town centre. The Christmas lights create a magical atmosphere in the Piazza Walther Platz. Royal Merano/Meran on the other hand combines in perfect style nostalgia for the past and modern lifestyle. In the north of the region the former bishopric town of Bressanone/Brixen beckons offering a journey back in time, while bustling Brunico/Bruneck mixes the romance of a Medieval town with the aura of a winter sports centre. In the very north in the old mining town of Vipiteno/Sterzing the unique atmosphere of Christmas envelopes the town centre beneath the Zwölfer tower. Magical moments.
