Side by Side Shadows
Photojournal: PIA11554
The moon Tethys casts its shadow on Saturn's rings next to the shadow of the planet in this image taken as Saturn approaches its August 2009 equinox.
Tethys and Saturn are off to the left of this image and are not shown. The largest of the bright specks in the image is Pandora (81 kilometers, or 50 miles across). Other bright spots are background stars.
The novel illumination geometry created as Saturn approaches its August 2009 equinox allows moons orbiting in or near the plane of Saturn's equatorial rings to cast shadows onto the rings. These scenes are possible only during the few months before and after Saturn's equinox, which occurs only once in about 15 Earth years. To learn more about this special time and to see movies of moons' shadows moving across the rings, see Moon Shadow in Motion and Weaving a Shadow .
This view looks toward the unilluminated side of the rings from about 51 degrees above the ringplane. The image was taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft wide-angle camera on June 28, 2009. The view was acquired at a distance of approximately 1.5 million kilometers (932,000 miles) from Saturn and at a Sun-Saturn-spacecraft, or phase, angle of 78 degrees. Image scale is 88 kilometers (55 miles) per pixel.
The Cassini-Huygens mission is a cooperative project of NASA, the European Space Agency and the Italian Space Agency. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, manages the mission for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington, D.C. The Cassini orbiter and its two onboard cameras were designed, developed and assembled at JPL. The imaging operations center is based at the Space Science Institute in Boulder, Colo.

This article quickly explains how to set up a VPN for your remote users based on OpenVPN in around 5 minutes. If you want detailed informations about OpenVPN, certificates or other stuff, this is not the right place.
This applies to Debian Etch but will work will little difference in paths under Red Hat.
export KEY_COUNTRY=US export KEY_PROVINCE=SC export KEY_CITY=GREENVILLE export KEY_ORG="Green Company, LLC" export KEY_EMAIL="admin@example.org"
It's not necessary to set a password.
You'll be asked questions about the client.
Now under /etc/openvpn/pki/keys you must find a bunch of files.
The up and down scripts are respectively executed when the connection is opened and closed. You can for example change the name server the client will use when connected to the VPN using those scripts (or opening ports in the firewall, etc.).
The server will "push" the DNS settings to the client, this will modify your /etc/ resolv.conf so you will use the DNS server and hostname resolution of your office (or whatever place you are connecting to) when connected to the VPN.
On the server, make sure openvpn starts at boot by uncommenting the following line under /etc/default/openvpn (Debian) : AUTOSTART="all"
The client will get an IP in the range 10.30.0.x on the device tun0, it will add a route to the range 172.30.0.0/16 through the VPN (172.30.x.x in this example is supposed to be the network subnet on the server side).

A New Jersey appeals court rules that a state Medicaid director could not rule against an assisted living facility resident who wanted to deduct the cost of a full-time aide from her income because the administrative law judge (ALJ) did not hold a full evidentiary hearing on whether the aide was medically necessary. G.F. v. Division of Medical Assistance and Health Services (N.J. Super. Ct., App. Div., No. A-3067-16T3, Sept. 12, 2018).
Assisted living resident G.F. received Medicaid benefits that required her to contribute some of her income to her care. She claimed a full-time aide was medically necessary to keep her from falling, and she asked to deduct the cost of the aide from her income. The state denied the request, and G.F. appealed.
In filings with the ALJ, the state did not dispute that the aide was medically necessary. Instead, the state argued that G.F. needed to be in a nursing home. The ALJ determined that there was no dispute as to facts, so it ruled for G.F. without an evidentiary hearing. The state Medicaid director ruled that because G.F.'s doctor did not testify at the hearing, G.F. did not prove that the aide was medically necessary and reversed the ALJ's decision. G.F. appealed to court.
The New Jersey Superior Court, Appellate Division, remands the state's decision for a full hearing on whether the aide is medically necessary. According to the court, while the director correctly determined that G.F. did not prove the aide was medically necessary, G.F. "did not present live testimony to support her claim because the parties agreed there was no need to do so, and the ALJ determined the matter could be decided on the papers."

Irrevocable Trust Belonging to Medicaid Applicant's Spouse Is Available Asset
Three women entered nursing homes. Their husbands created irrevocable "sole benefit trusts." The trusts allowed the trustee to distribute principal to the husbands as necessary with the expectation that all the resources would be used up during the husbands' lifetimes. A few months later, the women applied for Medicaid. The state determined that the trusts were available assets and denied the applications.
The women appealed, arguing that the trusts were not countable assets because they were for the sole benefit of the husbands. After three trials, two trial courts ruled that the assets in the trust were not available, and the state appealed and the Michigan Court of Appeals decided the cases together.
The Michigan Court of Appeals reverses, holding that the trusts are available assets. The court rules that when states make an initial eligibility determination, "an institutionalized individual's assets includes not only those that he or she has, but also those that his or her spouse has." [emphasis in original] According to the court, because "there was a 'condition under which the principal could be paid to or on behalf of the person from an irrevocable trust,' the assets in the trusts were properly determined to be countable assets."

State Can Apply Means Test to Estate Seeking Hardship Waiver from Medicaid Estate Recovery
Patricia Bacon received long-term care Medicaid benefits before she died. After her death, the state sought to recover the amount it paid Ms. Bacon in Medicaid benefits. Ms. Bacon's estate sought a hardship waiver, which the state denied.
The estate appealed to court, and the trial court reversed the state's decision, ruling that the hardship definition in the state Medicaid plan exceeds state law because it includes a means test for the beneficiary. Michigan state law authorizing the state to seek approval for its Medicaid plan provides that the definition of hardship must include an exemption for the value of the Medicaid recipient's home that is equal to or less than 50 percent of the average price of a home in the county in which the Medicaid recipient lives. The state Medicaid plan further requires the state to apply a means test to anyone seeking a waiver. The state appealed.
The Michigan Court of Appeals reverses, holding that the state can include a means test as part of the hardship waiver. Citing Ketchum v. Department of Health and Human Services (Mich. Ct. App., No. 324741, March 1, 2016) and In re Estate of Klein (Mich. Ct. App., No. 329715, July 19, 2016), the court rules that state law includes provisions allowing the state plan to include other requirements for the hardship exemption.
Son Did Not Breach Contract With Mother's Nursing Home by Not Retrieving Improperly Transferred Assets
Jessica Mayo made payments to her son and his wife for personal care services. A few years later, she appointed her other son, Robert, as her agent under a power of attorney. Mr. Mayo applied for Medicaid benefits on behalf of his mother and signed a nursing home admission agreement on her behalf as the "responsible party." The contract stated that if the state denied Ms. Mayo Medicaid benefits due to an improper asset transfer, it would be considered a breach of contract between the resident and the nursing home. The state imposed a penalty period due to the transfers to Ms. Mayo's son and his wife. After a hearing, the state upheld the penalty period, and Ms. Mayo died still owing the nursing home $26,414.31.
The nursing home sued Mr. Mayo for breach of contract. The trial court ruled in favor of the nursing home, finding that the admissions agreement contract defined the duty of the responsible party to include retrieval of improperly transferred assets from third parties. Mr. Mayo appealed, arguing that he was not responsible for transfers made before he entered into the contract with the nursing home.
The Illinois Court of Appeals, Fourth District, reverses, holding that Mr. Mayo did not breach the contract with the nursing home. The court notes that the contract states that an improper transfer of assets would result in a breach of contract with the resident, not the responsible party. According to the court, "nowhere in any of the contractual documents does [Mr. Mayo] promise to recover assets that [Ms.] Mayo transferred before the inception of [Mr. Mayo's] contractual relationship with [the nursing home]. "

Applicant's Ability to Use House Placed in Trust Does Not Render Trust Available, Mass. High Court Rules
James and Mary Daley created an irrevocable trust. They conveyed their interest in their condominium to the trust, but retained a life estate in the property. Seven years later, Mr. Daley was admitted to a nursing home and applied for Medicaid benefits. The state denied him benefits after determining that the trust was an available asset. Lionel Nadeau and his wife created an irrevocable trust and transferred their house into the trust. The trust provided that the Nadeaus had the right to use and occupy the house, which they did until Mr. Nadeau entered a nursing home and applied for Medicaid benefits. As with the Daleys, the state considered the trust a countable asset and denied benefits.
The Daleys and the Nadeaus appealed, but following hearings the state ruled that the trusts were available assets because the Daleys and Nadeaus had the right to occupy and use the properties that were in the trusts. In separate rulings, Massachusetts trial courts held that both trusts were available assets. (Daley v. Sudders, Mass. Super. Ct., No. 15–CV–0188–D, Dec. 24, 2015 and Nadeau v. Thorn, Mass. Super. Ct., No. 14-DV-02278C, Dec. 30, 2015). The Daleys and Nadeaus appealed and the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial decided both cases together.
The Massachusetts Supreme Judicial court reverses, holding that the trusts are not available assets. According to the court, "where a trust grants the use or occupancy of a home to the grantors [as in the Nadeau's case], it is effectively making a payment to the grantors in the amount of the fair rental value of that property." The court adds that these payments "do not affect an applicant's eligibility for Medicaid long-term care benefits, but they may affect how much the applicant is required to contribute to the payment for that care." In the Daleys' case, the court rules that because the Daleys hold a life estate, their use of the home is not considered income and "the continued use of the home by the applicant pursuant to his or her life estate interest does not make the remainder interest in the property owned by the trust available to the applicant."
In reaching its conclusion in the Daley case, the court cites the Elder Law section of West's Massachusetts Practice series, written by Harry S. Margolis and Jeffrey A. Bloom of the Boston firm of Margolis & Bloom, LLP.

More volatility on world financial markets sent the benchmark Nikkei index to its lowest close since late 1982, with similar plunges elsewhere. In Tokyo, the Nikkei fell 6.4 percent as investors worried that too strong a yen – it is near a 13-year high – will hurt Japanese exports. The Hang Seng index in Hong Kong fell 12.7 percent after its biggest one-day sell-off since 1991. Indexes across Europe also dropped, led by the CAC-40 in Paris, which was off 4.9 percent as trading neared a close. Meanwhile, on the first full day of trading in oil futures since OPEC announced a production cutback, the per-barrel price appeared likely to close below $63 after briefly dipping as low as $61.30.
Another suspected US missile attack on a militant training camp in Pakistan's tribal region killed as many as 20 people, among them a senior Taliban chief, local officials said Monday. The attack was the 12th of its type since mid-August, all of them coming after Pakistan's new civilian government took power vowing zero tolerance for violations of its sovereignty.
New speculation about North Korean leader Kim Jong Il's health arose Monday as TV news footage showed his son consulting at length with a noted brain surgeon in Paris. Later, the surgeon was seen arriving at De Gaulle Airport in a North Korean-owned limousine. When questioned, he did not deny that he was en route to Pyongyang, the North's capital. North Korea denies that Kim has health problems, but he hasn't been seen in public in almost two months.
Without elaborating, an Iranian Revolutionary Guard commander confirmed Monday that his country supplies weapons to "liberation armies" in the Middle East. They are believed to include Shiite militias such as the so-called Mahdi Army in Iraq and Hezbullah in Lebanon. Iran previously has denied providing arms or financial help to Iraqi Shiites and has admitted only to political and financial backing for Hezbullah.
Gatherings of more than five people were banned across Indian-administered Kashmir Monday as thousands of soldiers and police deployed to prevent demonstrations by Muslim separatists. The date marked the anniversary of India's takeover of the disputed region in 1947. Pro-Pakistan sentiment runs deep in Kashmir, and an estimated 68,000 people have died since the separatists began a campaign in 1989 to end Indian control.
Another longtime hostage of Colombia's leftist Revolutionary Armed Forces was free after escaping his captors. Oscar Tulio Lizcano, a former member of Congress, had been held for eight years until the rebel guarding him chose to defect late last week and the two set out to turn themselves over to security forces. The guard will be offered asylum in France, reports said. Lizcano's escape was preceded by the high-profile rescue in July of former presidential candidate Ingrid Betancourt and other hostages.
US authorities said they'll seek the extradition of reputed Mexican drug cartel leader Eduardo Arellano Felix after he was captured in a shootout with police and government troops late Saturday night. Acting on a tip, they traced him to an upscale residence in the border city of Tijuana, where he'd been living under an assumed name. His arrest was the second of a senior Mexican drug trafficker in two weeks.
All participants in an annual endurance race in England's Lake District have been accounted for, although some required hospitalization, reports said. High winds and severe flooding over the weekend caused the Original Mountain Marathon to be halted with the runners still out on the course. Police criticized it for starting at all under the circumstances.

A local legend inspires Scotland's most northerly mainland distillery.Working closely with founders Kerry and Derek Campbell we created a whisky brand which feels premium but also accessible - harnessing the uniqueness of the distillery's location and expressing this in every small detail. 8 Doors Distillery is a new whisky micro-distillery set to open in John O'Groats in 2021. The £1 million project will establish the first whisky producer in the Caithness village since 1837 and become Scotland's most northerly mainland whisky distillery. The inspiration for the 8 Doors Distillery name and branding comes from the legend of Jan de Groot, from whom the village of John O'Groats takes its name. De Groot, a Dutchman who once plied a ferry from the Scottish mainland to Orkney (1488-1513). Legend states that De Groot's seven descendants quarrelled about succession, so he decided to build an octagonal house with eight doors – one for him and each of his seven sons.This provenance allowed us to create a brand which references its Scottish roots in a clean modern way - authentic, distinct and quite separate from the established image of Scottish whisky.The distilleries extreme northerly location informs the positioning - 'Whisky. From the Edge'. Similarly the 874 Founders Club is named after the distance in miles from John O'Groats to Land's End.The design is inspired by the natural environment and climate - identity, colour palette, typography and textures all combine to create a sense of the rugged isolation found at the very edge of the Scottish mainland.

The Russian military involvement in assistance of the government of Syria had led to a sharp deterioration of relations between Russia and Turkey, which until recently had been seen as if not an ally then at least a solid partner. While the reasons for Turkish president Erdogan's betrayal of trust with Russia are still not fully known, this unexpected turn of events had instantly elevated the importance of the Russian military contingent in Armenia, a country which is not only tied to Russia by a range of collective security treaties but also shares a long border with Turkey, which is after all a member of NATO, as well as with Azerbaijan and Georgia, both of which have been building their ties to NATO in recent years. Which means that Armenia is the Transcaucasus equivalent of Belarus–a buffer state between the suddenly hostile NATO and Russia. Any escalation of the Russia-NATO differences of opinion over the future of Syria would necessarily involve the Russian forces already stationed there, plus whatever reinforcements could be sent to the area. The presence of Russian forces in Armenia is also significant for the reason of the still unresolved Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict over the future of Nagorno-Karabakh. Given Armenia's geographic importance and its political and military alignment with Russia through the Collective Security Treat Organization and the Eurasian Economic Union, one also has to keep in mind that Armenia represents a tempting "color revolution" target. For that reason, Russian troops stationed there can rightly consider themselves to be part of a frontline deployment.
The permanent contingent of Russian forces in that country centers around the 102nd Military Base near the city of Gyumri, with Russian troops enjoying basing rights there thanks to a bilateral Russia-Armenia agreement until 2044. The 102nd Base was established on the basis of the 127th Motorized Rifle Division that was based in Gyumri. Its equipment strength includes 74 Main Battle Tanks, nearly 200 BTRs and BMPs, as well as artillery systems including long-range Smerch MRLs, which is equivalent to a reduced-strength motorized rifle division of three motorized rifle regiments (each with one tank company) plus a separate tank battalion, consistent with the number of 4500 Russian soldiers stationed at Gyumri. The 102nd is not the only such formation in existence–the 201st Military Base in Tajikistan that is intended to help maintain security in Central Asia also as part of the Collective Security Treaty Organization, has roughly similar organization and strength.
However, while the 201st only needs to worry about Taliban, Al Qaeda, and, now also ISIS infiltration from Afghanistan, the 102nd is based in close proximity to a NATO state which necessitates protection against air attack. That protection is provided by the 988th Air Defense Missile Regiment with S-300 and Buk-M systems and a flight of MiG-29SMT fighters based at the nearby Erebuni airfield which recently also received 18 Mi-24 and Mi-8 helicopters. Rounding off the 13 thousand strong Russian contingent in Armenia are the 4.5 thousand FSB Border Guards based at Gyumri, Armavir, Artashat, and Megri.
This force serves a number of peacetime functions. It extends Russian conventional deterrence umbrella over Armenia against any external attempts to violate Armenia's sovereignty. It helps integrate Armenia into the CSTO, with Russian troops serving as military trainers and advisors in a fashion similar to the role their counterparts played in Syria. Indeed, Russian and Armenian forces hold frequent joint military exercises to hone their interoperability. Should the situation deteriorate, the 102nd's organization and strength make it suitable to wage a low intensity counter-insurgency campaign against well organized "foreign fighters" and, in the event of a major military threat to Armenia, it is sufficiently powerful to screen Armenia's borders until reinforcements could be sent, while bombarding key enemy sites with Iskander-M missiles. Even though Armenia does not share a border with Russia, it does have one with Iran, whose close security relationship with Russia shows no signs of weakening which means that, should the worst come to worst, Iranian airspace could be used to reinforce Armenia.
Current Russian national security plans foresee the Russian force grouping in Armenia to be increased, as part of the overall enhancement of the role of CSTO in guaranteeing regional security and in response to increased NATO activity in the region. What happens next is really up to the West. Should it insist on continuing the course toward confrontation, Russian forces in Armenia could greatly complicate its strategic calculations.

Home Football Transfer Transfer Window: When the Summer Window Opens & Closes Across Europe
Transfer Window: When the Summer Window Opens & Closes Across Europe
Kingutaji 09:29:00 Football, Transfer,
The Premier League season is over, and leagues across Europe will soon follow suit. It has been an enthralling year of action wherever you look, but attentions will soon turn to one thing and one thing only - the summer transfer window.
There have been no shortage of rumours, with the likes of Eden Hazard, Paul Pogba and Gareth Bale all linked with blockbuster moves away from their current employers.
English sides appear set to be incredibly busy. Manchester City have been linked with several astronomical deals, whilst Manchester United could see plenty of departures after an underwhelming end to the season.
One of the biggest talking points this summer will be Chelsea who, as it stands, will be unable to sign players as a result of their two-window transfer ban. The Blues have already agreed a deal to sign Borussia Dortmund's Christian Pulisic, but may find themselves unable to sign a direct replacement for Hazard if he completes a move to Real Madrid.
Here's everything you need to know about the transfer windows across Europe.
When Does the Transfer Window Open?
For Premier League sides, they will be free to begin doing business from midnight on Thursday, 16 May. Deals often fly in thick and fast, as teams seek to give themselves as much time as possible to gel ahead of the new season.
Alongside Pulisic, there could be plenty of fresh faces moving to the Premier League this summer. Lille's Nicolas Pepe, Barcelona's Philippe Coutinho and Benfica wonderkid Joao Felix are just three of many names who have been linked with a switch to England, in what is shaping up to be a stunning summer.
Clubs spent a combined £1.24bn last summer and, if they can come anywhere close to that amount this year, we're in for a treat.
When Does the Transfer Window Close?
Deals don't always have to be done as soon as possible, with many clubs often waiting until the last minute to conclude their business, with the likes of Yerry Mina, Andre Gomes and Kepa Arrizabalaga all arriving in England late in the window.
This year, transfer deadline day with be Thursday, 8 August at 5pm. Recent years have seen the window close at 11pm, so teams will have to ensure that their dealings are all finalised by the earlier time.
However, if they cannot manage to do so, they can apply for a short extension if they can provide enough proof to the Premier League that the deal will be completed in the near future.
When Does the Transfer Window Open & Close Around Europe?
Fans across Europe will all be expecting a hectic transfer window. Real Madrid and Bayern Munich have both promised to spend heavily, whilst French giants Paris Saint-Germain are always involved in transfer talks these days.
La Liga's transfer window opens on 1 July and will close on 2 September, giving the likes of Real and Barcelona plenty of time to secure a blockbuster signing or two.
The Bundesliga window also follows the same schedule, so will open on 1 July and close on 2 September. Bayern are often busy, whilst Dortmund may look to act to remain in contention with their close rivals.
In Italy, the Serie A window will open at the same time on 1 July, but will close on the slightly earlier date of 23 August. Juventus have been linked with a number of high-profile signings, whilst AC Milan and Inter are both thought to be preparing for an eventful summer.
France's Ligue 1 sides will be able to begin doing business on 16 June, and must have all their business sorted out by the deadline of 2 September.

Someone has put Silent Night into a minor key and it's super creepy
By Lizzie Davis
YouTuber Chase Holfeder realised that some of your favourite carols actually sound even more atmospheric in a minor key. So he made it happen.
Many of the Christmas carols we know and love are in a major key. And those that aren't are generally so old they pre-date the modern system of harmony (we're looking at you, God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen).
But Chase realised that they sound awesome in a minor key as well. So he transposed them into minor keys and recorded both versions for comparison.

Professor Jari Laukkanen, the corresponding author, said: "An important finding of this research is that more regular sauna use is associated with a lower risk of death from CVD in middle-aged to elderly women as well as in men. Previous population studies were done mostly in men only."
Professor Laukkanen continued: "There are several possible reasons why sauna use may decrease the risk of death due to CVD. Our research team has shown in previous studies that high sauna use is associated with lower blood pressure. Additionally, sauna use is known to trigger an increase in heart rate equal to that seen in low to moderate intensity physical exercise."
I really dislike studies like this. There are too many confounding factors. Maybe those that take more sauna baths generally have easier and less stressful jobs, make more money and have the luxury of time to take more of the baths.
People who have the time and money to take a sauna every day are generally richer and more well-to-do. Consider that heating up a sauna for use every day costs you around €1 in electricity each time. For people in the lower social classes, that's a significant expense.
You also need to own a large-ish house to have access to a sauna every day. Poor people living in apartments don't get one, or they get a communal sauna, or a tiny phone-booth sized box that gets used mostly for storage and drying laundry instead (or growing weed, as it has good ventilation, insulation and access for power and water).

ICA sent a letter to ICANN pointed out the absence of any ICANN oversight over the UDRP such as an office or staff, regular review process, complaints procedure, or contracts with existing UDRP dispute resolution service providers.
ICA requests that ICANN includes a budget for such oversight in its current budgeting process.
I write to you on behalf of members of the Internet Commerce Association. Founded in 2006, the Internet Commerce Association (the "ICA") is a non-profit trade organization representing the thriving industry that has developed around the independent value of domain names in this Internet Age, including domain name investors, domain name secondary marketplaces, domain name brokers, escrow service companies, registries, and related service providers. The ICA's mission is to assist with the development of domain name related policy. ICA members own a substantial percentage of all existing Internet domains and provide crucial domain name-related services to millions of Internet users.
It may come as a surprise to you that since 1999, ICANN has been responsible for over 60,000 domain name disputes under the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy ("UDRP"). These UDRP disputes have been brought by trademark owners against domain name registrants and concern claims of cybersquatting. Many of these UDRP complaints have been denied, with many of those resulting in a finding of "Reverse Domain Name Hijacking" against the trademark owner; i.e. using the UDRP in bad faith to deprive a domain name registrant of his or her domain name.
DRP's failing to provide any mechanism for disciplining or removing panelists who don't take their responsibilities seriously or who make errant and outrageous decisions.
UDRP program. This "commissioner" or "office", would be in charge of overseeing the program, and inter alia be responsible for such crucial matters such as; a) contracting with dispute resolution service providers; maintaining and enforcing compliance of dispute resolution service providers; maintaining and enforcing standards applicable to panelists; setting fees and procedures; responding to and investigating complaints; and taking overall responsibility for an "orphaned" program that has been permitted to operate without any particular attention or budget whatsoever.
In our respectful view, the fact that the UDRP has continued to operate without any meaningful oversight by ICANN is a serious problem which should be rectified immediately. We recognize that a review is underway by the RPM Working Group, however this is Working Group's work is years away from completion and in any event is not empowered to allocate an appropriate budget for ICANN's ongoing UDRP program. This task is up to you and should be acted upon now.

Exclusive: Bulldogs set to make $11 million, 10-year play for Sydney Roosters superstar Latrell Mitchell
James Hooper@jimmyhooper
The Bulldogs are targering superstar Latrell Mitchell in what would be the biggest deal in NRL history.Source: News Corp Australia
The Bulldogs are considering making a stunning 10-year, $11 million offer to superstar Latrell Mitchell which, if it goes ahead, would be the biggest player deal in rugby league history.
The Bulldogs are believed to have discussed an offer of more than $1 million a season for the superstar. This would become the most lucrative contract in rugby league.
The Roosters are believed to have recently tabled an upgraded deal of $800,000 a year for seasons 2020 and 2021. He is signed at the Roosters until the end of 2020.
Under NRL rules, Mitchell could sign with the Bulldogs from November 1 this year and would be free to join them for the 2021 season.
The offer would eclipse the 10-year, $10 million deal Jason Taumalolo signed with the Cowboys.

LATRELL 'COULD MAKE HIMSELF UNAVAILABLE' AFTER ORIGIN AXING
ORIGIN INSIDER: PEARCE'S 'BRAVE' 60K BLUES SACRIFICE
Bulldogs CEO Andrew Hill denied on Tuesday that any official from the club had made a formal approach to Mitchell or his family. Hill also denied rumours that a Bulldogs official travelled to Taree prior to State of Origin I to discuss the deal.
Mitchell has been at the centre of controversy since his poor showing in Origin I and indifferent form at the Roosters over the past month. He made headlines again on Sunday when Blues coach Brad Fittler sensationally left him out of the squad against Queensland to keep the series alive next Sunday.
The 22-year-old star centre has publicly said a falling out with his management was behind his recent poor form but has repeatedly stressed that he is happy at the Roosters under coach Trent Robinson.
Mitchell's father Matt told the Sydney Morning Herald his son's priority was playing for the Roosters, not New South Wales.
"The rep stuff is a bonus but the Roosters pay his bills, not NSW," he said.
"His coach Trent Robinson has been unbelievable, and so has Nick Politis".

Herbert Fromm
Herbert Fromm was one of the most prominent, most prolific, and most widely published composers of synagogue and other serious Jewish music among those German- and Austrian-Jewish musicians who found refuge from the Third Reich in the United States during the 1930s and who became associated principally with the American Reform movement—a circle that also included Isadore Freed (1900–1960), Frederick Piket (1903–1974), Julius Chajes (1910–1985), and Hugo Chaim Adler (1894–1955).
An accomplished organist and conductor as well as a composer, Fromm was born in Kitzingen, Germany, and studied at the State Academy of Music in Munich—with, among others, Paul Hindemith. After a year as conductor of the Civic Opera in Bielefeld, he held a similar post for two years at the opera in Würzburg. After 1933, when Jews were prohibited from participation in German cultural life, he was an active composer and conductor in the Frankfurt am Main section of the Jüdischer Kulturbund in Deutschland, which provided the only permitted artistic opportunities for Jewish musicians during the Nazi era until 1939. It was in that context that he began to employ Jewish themes and texts in his compositions.
Fromm immigrated to the United States in 1937. He assumed the post of organist and music director at Temple Beth Zion in Buffalo, New York, followed by a similar appointment at Temple Israel in Boston, where he remained until his retirement, in 1972. In 1940 and 1941 he worked once again with Hindemith, privately as well as during summers at Tanglewood, refining his technique and style and developing a highly individualistic approach to music for Jewish worship and music of Jewish expression—judiciously modern, yet imaginatively respectful of tradition and never on the fringe of the avant-garde. In 1945 he won the first Ernest Bloch Award for The Song of Miriam, and he was later awarded an honorary Doctorate of Humane Letters by Lesley College.
Among his large opera of liturgical and liturgically related works are several full services and numerous individual prayer settings—many of which became part of the standard repertoire in Reform synagogues—as well as Judaically based pieces geared for concert performance. Among his outstanding non-synagogal and secular works are Memorial Cantata, The Stranger, three string quartets, a violin sonata, a woodwind quartet, and many songs. Fromm also authored three books: The Key of See, a travel journal; Seven Pockets, a volume of collected writings; and On Jewish Music, from a composer's viewpoint.
Fromm was known for his insistence on high aesthetic standards and his harsh criticism of the populist trends and the raw, mass-oriented ethnic elements that could be found increasingly in American synagogue music. Composer Samuel Adler, his lifelong friend and colleague, has recalled that it was not so much those musical elements, per se and on their own appropriate turfs, that angered Fromm as it was his view that such adulterated synagogue music "hindered the worshipper from being able to face the highest in life." And in that context, Adler remembers that Fromm challenged himself and his work with the Hebrew admonition contained in Pirkei avot (Sayings of the Fathers), a part of the Mishna: Da lifnei mi ata omed—"know at all times before Whom you stand."

Kościół Świętych Rocha i Marcina znajduje się w Słocinie, dzielnicy na wschodzie Rzeszowa.

Historia
Najstarsza wzmianka o Słocinie jako o wsi pochodzi z XIV wieku, zaś o parafii z XV. Losy świątyni nie są do końca jasne, jednak na podstawie przypuszczeń pierwszy kościół ufundowali Pileccy, a dokładniej Otto Pilecki, kasztelan sandomierski. Kościół konsekrowany najprawdopodobniej w 1379 roku oddano pod patronat św. Marcina biskupa, stąd jego obecność w herbie Słociny. Po pożarze w połowie wieku XV, ponownej fundacji w 1466 roku dokonał Jan Pilecki.

Kościół gotycki częściowo zniszczyli Tatarzy w 1624 roku. W początku wieku XIX (ok. 1826 r.) do kościoła dobudowano od strony zachodniej, dużą, kwadratową wieżę. Od XVII wieku wokół funkcjonuje cmentarz. Budowę nowej świątyni podjęto się dopiero na początku XX wieku. Kościół poświęcono w 1916 roku, a konsekrowano w 1932 pod wezwaniem świętych Rocha i Marcina, którego kult w Słocinie sięga XVII wieku. Ówcześni mieszkańcy wierzyli, że święty pomógł im przetrwać zarazę cholery.

Architektura
Kościół jest ceglano-kamienną budowlą, zbudowaną w latach 1913–1916 według projektu lwowskiego architekta Tadeusza Obmiańskiego. Trójnawowy z węższym prezbiterium i 60-metrową wieżą.

Wewnętrzne ściany świątyni pokrywa polichromia namalowana w latach trzydziestych, odnawiana w latach 2002–2003. Wystrój wnętrza utrzymany jest w stylu neogotyckim i neobarokowym. Ołtarz główny w formie tryptyku z obrazami Jana Bukowskiego namalowanymi w 1929 roku. W ołtarzu bocznym znajduje się obraz św. Rocha, prawdopodobnie z XVII wieku.

W 2001 r. stare pokrycie dachu zastąpiono blachą miedzianą, odrestaurowano elewację świątyni. We wnętrzu kościoła można już podziwiać odnowione (2002-3) unikatowe malowidła J. Makarewicza oraz odnowione ołtarze (2004) wraz z nowym wystrojem prezbiterium (2001-3).

W sąsiedztwie kościoła znajdują się zabudowania poplebańskie: ochronka z 1896 roku, organistówka i dom parafialny zbudowany w roku 1938. W 2004/5 odnowiono elewacje wszystkich budynków należących do zespołu przykościelnego.

To investigate the effect of ultraviolet (UV) treatment on the subsequent formation of regulated and unregulated disinfection byproducts (DBPs), two sets of water samples were submitted to low-pressure (LP) and medium-pressure (MP) UV disinfection. Results indicated that germicidal doses of UV light, both LP and MP, did not substantially affect the tendency of the test waters to form trihalomethanes, haloacetic acids, or total organic carbon under conditions typical of drinking water treatment. However, MP UV treatment did lead to increased concentrations of chloropicrin and trichloropropanone at rates consistent across the water samples and UV doses tested. Although some minor DBPs were enhanced by pretreatment with MP UV, the final concentrations remained small. Nonetheless, given the elevated risk of halonitromethane formation with MP UV disinfection and uncertainties about the toxicology of such compounds, utilities - especially those using waters high in nitrate - may want to choose their UV technologies in order to effectively balance disinfection and DBP control.


UrBC, Yekaterinburg, April 1, 2019. Magnitogorsk Iron & Steel Works (MMK) sold 1,800,000,000 kg of long products last year, 98% of which got directed to customers on the home markets (including the CIS member states), the company's press service reports.
MMK's Sales Department's Senior Officer Alexander Margishvili gave a talk on the company's performance in 2018 during the conference on rolled section steel and profiled iron in Moscow.
According to Margishvili, even though the Russian rolled section steel-making facilities are currently being underused (their current workload in Russia on the whole is now under 50% of their full capacity), MMK's sales remained more or less the same in 2018 as in 2017 and amounted to some 1,800,000,000 kg. The plant's rolled section steel mills are working at their full capacity, with 78% of produce getting shipped to Russian customers, 20% getting shipped to customers in the CIS member states, and 2% getting shipped to the rest of the world.
MMK has been trying to produce fewer standardized products and more marginal, industry-specific products lately; the latter already make up 30% of the company's overall sales. MMK is trying to raise its sales through its own sales network MMK Trading House. The network comprises more than thirty branches in Russia (including a production site in Shchelkovo and a metal center in Magnitogorsk) and five warehouses in Kazakhstan.

Q: How do I Install Ubuntu 11 on a Dell Latitude E6400 with a Sata Hard Disk? I downloaded Ubuntu 11, and after burning it to a DVD, i have been unable to install the OS, i even had to change my sata configuration to AHCI, or Advanced Host Controller Interface, reformat my Hard Disk, yet it wont install. Please what do i do?

A: I had a similar issue in that I was merely going into the one time boot option of (F12)...after going into the BIOS and resetting the boot priority I was able to get Ubuntu to load right up on my Toshiba laptop.  Have you tried changing the boot priority?
Cheers!

A: It is weird.Ubuntu will install in SATA configuration itself.Moreover you should provide more details.If you are able run Ubuntu live from CD or DVD, use the disk utility to check your hard disk's state.

Listening in my AppDelegate applicationDidFinishLaunching method:
//Notification for Double tap notification
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
                                         selector:@selector(doubleTapAction:)
                                             name:@"doubleClickButtonNotification"
                                           object:self];

The notification never arrives and doubleTapAction: is never called.
Please could someone point me in the correct direction as it is melting my brain...
Many Thanks in advance
Ben

A: First of all: User events (as a mouse down) are always delivered on the main thread. Therefore you do not need the -performSelectorOnMainThread:….
To your Q: Likely you misunderstood the object parameter. Why do you set it to nil when posting a notification and set it to self for adding the observer? Since nil is not $anySelf that does not match. You can set this parameter to nil when you add the observer  to get notifications of all senders. So simply do it the other way round. (Setting object to something useful when posting the notification and to nilwhen adding the observer.)

The weather has been in the news a lot. A while back, we had an ice storm and recently there has been a lot of snow plus high winds that can knock power out as the ice storm did.
In this day and age, we depend very much on electric power. If it went out for a long period of time, it would be that most would have heat, let alone nights and all the other benefits we have with electric power.
So with that said, I am writing in support of the great work of those employed by the Marquette Board of Light and Power who are out in adverse conditions to get the power back on. I hope most people would take time to realize the work they do.
From me, thanks very much.
Also, many others who keep our roads plowed, the water running, and also the police and fire departments and others who are there when called.
Serving in the U.S. Coast Guard, I was in search and rescue and was called to save people in trouble. Thanks to my fellow Coast Guard men and women who are now serving here in Marquette and all over the U.S. So try to remember and be thankful for those who serve to keep the lights on, protect us from those who may harm us and respond to fires and the many other dangers we face in life.
Without them, think how it would be. Try not to complain, but give thanks for many blessings we have in our city of Marquette, the dedicated workers who keep our city a good place to live.

\section{Introduction}
\IEEEPARstart{C}{} s$_2$LiYCl$_6$:Ce$^{3+}$ (CLYC) has gained much attention recently for its ability to detect both gamma rays and neutrons within a single volume.  It has excellent linearity and light yield, provides superior resolution to NaI and BGO, and provides thermal neutron sensitivity through neutron capture on $^6$Li with a Q-value of 4.8 MeV.  Different characteristic time structures for gamma- and neutron-induced pulses in CLYC, shown in Fig.~\ref{fig:clyc_pulse}, allow for pulse-shape discrimination (PSD) to be achieved, as shown in Fig.~\ref{fig:clyc_psd}, through integrating different regions of the pulse shapes.
\begin{figure}[!ht]

\caption{CLYC pulse shapes in response to gamma and thermal neutron radiation.}
\label{fig:clyc_pulse}

\caption{Pulse-shape discrimination for CLYC, exhibiting distinct regions for gamma and thermal neutron events.}
\label{fig:clyc_psd}
\end{figure}

CLYC scintillator is an attractive option for many applications.  In particular, for applications where size, weight, and power (SWaP) are important considerations, CLYC can provide significant improvement over current instruments.  One area which can benefit significantly from CLYC is space applications, however, CLYC does not currently have any space heritage.  It is thus important to demonstrate the survivability of CLYC in the space environment.  We have studied extensively the thermal dependence of CLYC coupled to photomultipliers~\cite{budden2013} and silicon photomultipliers~\cite{mesick2015}.  Other primary considerations for space-flight readiness are survivability of the launch environment and the space radiation environment.

\IEEEpubidadjcol

This work focuses on how the space radiation environment may impact the performance of CLYC scintillator.  The total accumulated dose in this environment, which can be 10 -- 100 kRad per year, may cause reduced performance that may be due to \cite{Zhu1998} the formation of color centers that reduce light output, activation and afterglow leading to increased noise, and/or damage to the scintillation mechanism.

\section{Methods}

We irradiated two CLYC samples (1 cm cuboids) at the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center (LANSCE) facility with 800 MeV protons, one to approximately 10 kRad dose (4.8$\times$10$^{11}$ protons) and one to approximately 100 kRad dose (4.8$\times$10$^{12}$ protons).  A third identical CLYC sample was not irradiated as a control.  Discoloration of the irradiated CLYC samples can be seen in Fig.~\ref{fig:samples}.

\begin{figure}[!ht]
\centering
\includegraphics[width=0.45\textwidth]{irradiated_clyc_discoloration.png}
\caption{CLYC samples showing discoloration in the irradiated crystals.}
\label{fig:samples}
\end{figure}

The performance of the CLYC scintillator before and after the irradiation was quantified by measurements of the 662 keV photopeak resolution, the neutron and gamma waveform pulse shapes and amplitudes, and the ability to obtain a good figure of merit in the pulse-shape discrimination between neutron and gamma events.  The scintillators were read out with a Hamamatsu R11265-100 PMT.  The activation products were also measured 2 weeks after the irradiation with a high-purity germanium detector.

\section{Selected Results \& Discussion}

The activation spectrum of CLYC after irradiation is shown in Fig.~\ref{fig:activation}.
Most of the activation lines are attributable to the activation of the Cesium and Yttrium within CLYC or the housing material and have short half-lives from days to weeks.  This activation and a reduction in light output leads to noise and poor resolution of CLYC immediately after irradiation, as indicated in Fig.~\ref{fig:res_immediate}.  Here the MCA spectrum as measured in the presence of a $^{137}$Cs source shows the control with a 5.5\% full-width half-maximum photopeak resolution at 662 keV, while the irradiated samples show degraded performance due to the abundance of short-lived activation products.  After these activation products have decayed, a repeat measurement of $^{137}$Cs, shown in Fig.~\ref{fig:res_6mos}, shows the 662~keV photopeak visible for the irradiated CLYC samples, however with reduced light output and therefore worse resolution.

\begin{figure}[!h]
\centering
\includegraphics[width=0.45\textwidth]{CLYC_activation.jpg}
\caption{Example of CLYC activation spectrum measured with HPGe after irradiation.}
\label{fig:activation}
\end{figure}

\begin{figure}[!ht]
\centering
\includegraphics[width=0.45\textwidth]{compare_cs_mca_afterNov2016_clyc.png}
\caption{$^{137}$Cs spectrum measured 6 days after irradiation showing large background from activation products.}
\label{fig:res_immediate}
\end{figure}

\begin{figure}[!ht]
\centering
\includegraphics[width=0.45\textwidth]{compare_cs_mca_afterMay2016D_clyc.png}
\caption{$^{137}$Cs spectrum measured 6 months after irradiation showing reduced light output.}
\label{fig:res_6mos}
\end{figure}

Pulse shapes were also digitized with an Agilent Acqiris DC282 waveform digitizer sampling at 2~GSamples/sec to assess the impact on pulse-shape discrimination.  Analysis of this data suggests that while overall decreased light output occurs, the pulse shapes are unchanged.  This results in little impact on the separation of the gamma- and neutron-induced events in the figure of merit.  However, the figure of merit does degrade in the irradiated CLYC crystals due to a broadening of the neutron PSD parameter.

There was no evidence observed of room temperature annealing of the irradiated CLYC samples.  High-temperature annealing will be investigated in future measurements.

• Will be playing in the Shoreshots tournament next weekend.
When I call a player a GYM RAT, that player is constantly in the gym outside there team practices and comfort zone, seeks outside competition and there work ethic is bigger than there ability. These players train against high level competition. I never call a player a Gym Rat, unless I have seen them against older elite competition and PREFORM at a high level while doing so. They are in the gym at every turn and seem to always be around. These players will be better in college than high school and can play a level HIGHER than there recruitment. I believe you build programs with gym rats…they have a added value recruiters do not get to see. Gym Rats are tough to find as all coaches know. There are hard workers and then their are GYM RATS…Learn the difference.
He has been a staple of New Jersey basketball on the high school and AAU level. He has been the driving force behind the insanely well run Central Jersey Hawks organization. The Elizabeth native has been a school administrator for years and recently retired. He runs which can only be called the classiest AAU program possibly in the state. He is loyal to his kids and parents. There is no a doubt where he stands. His players train, play and more importantly develop. I won't attempt to name the list of players who have gone on to college at every possible level, who have a connection to Randy Westrol. He son was a college ALL AMERICAN and currently plays professionally in Europe. He instills a work ethic, enforces the importance of education and preaches accountability into all his players. Things rarely seen in any AAU program these days. Randy Westrol is a throwback of years gone by. Nobody is bigger than the program and doing things right is the #1 priority , giving kids kids have a wonderful positive AAU experience..
She has all the tools needed to be an excellent player at the next level. She started this pass season for Holmdel High School. She is a lefty and plays with pure fire. Her ability to get by opponents is eye opening as is her work ethic. What is really impressive, is that she has made herself a major threat from the three point line. She is the rare young guard that defends without fouling and understands help defense. Her vision is just what you want in a point guard. HIGHLY COMPETITIVE NATURE. This next statement will surprise many people. I believe she is a possible D1 player in time. I have seen in the gym against the best babies and she takes no back seat. Excellent two way player that has been with Hawks for 6 years. High character and loyal kid…PROGRAM PLAYER IN A BIG WAY….
I saw her last season and flat loved her offensive confidence. Started at Holmdel this past season as a sophomore. She had some very big moments and scored in every game, she appeared in. She had 10 games with double digit scoring. Including 17 points vs. then Top 10 RFH, she buried 5 three's. Leah is not just a shooter but a PURE SHOOTER with that all important range. While not flashy, she is a solid ball handler. Another player who has been with the team 6 years… once again another high character type kid.
She once attended NBS and I saw her play last season for her high school team( college coaches check your check sheet). She is long, athletic and offensively aggressive. Her size allows her to get on the offensive boards. She can push the ball in transition and become a player maker or scorer as she is a willing passed. Her ability to post smaller guards and shoot the three make her a nightmares matchup. If she played in the Shore Conference, I believe she would have a D1 offer on the table. Her ability to defend guards and forwards make her versatility another positive. She handles the ball and is ultra aggressive at getting to the rim..D1 coaches I am throwing you a major bone. She suffers from lack of hype and visibility. She more than held her own at NBS against elite competition. Two year starter at East Brunswick, one of the best teams in Middlesex County.. another player that has been in the program for six years once again high character.
Started for the #10 in the state. Has been a Hawk for three years running. She like her older sister Amanda(Catholic U) is a classic true teammate. She is a coach on the floor. This is a versatile player in every sense of the word. She can guard just about every position on defense and move to just about every position on offense. She has played in big games, so playing against elite competition is no factor. Her ability to move without the ball is special for such a young player. But it's her passing and unselfishness that jumps off the page. Her ability to knock down three or score at the rim, makes her a coaches dream. This is a young lady that is going to surprise coaches everywhere at every level. One word. WINNER… her future Level of play is anyone's guest, I just know this, she makes any program at the next level better….MAJOR SLEEPER with serious leadership skills.
I have seen her play a number of times. She has some much potential it's scary. Starter at Spotswood HS and helped them to an excellent season in Middlesex County. Another rare AAU player, who has been with Hawks for six years. Willing to do the dirty work, plays wherever she is asked…another rarity in kids today. Can play inside or out. Her ability to turn opponents over is a gift. This past season at Spotswood, she averaged 3. 8 steals a game. Including a season high of ten. She is a big time athlete who average just under 10 points a game…throw in the 6 rebounds and you have a jock of all trades. These numbers cannot be ignored . She is a Talented player who is not afraid to compete…..can play anywhere on the floor with versatility supreme.
If for no other reason, Kathy Sanchez is worth the trip to watch the CJ HAWKS. I saw her for the first time last season for Marlboro high school. I then saw her at NBS and the Hoop Group once or twice in the spring and then the young lady disappeared. Coaches I have been asking about her ever since. She made that much on an impression on me…not easy to do. There is zero doubt in my mind, this is a future D1 player, if she continues on the path of hard work. She checks every box for the next level of play. Athletic, explosive, quick with strength and length. To say this young lady has a upside is a insult to the word. Her upside is off the charts. First she is that rare young player that finishes at the rim in traffic. Next her pace of play is already next level. She not only gets out and runs the floor, she has next level activity. She is not just quick to the ball but her timing is special. There is not doubt this is a special talent. Another player who simply is suffering from lack of name recognition. My guess is all this will change this summer.
Played varsity at St. John Vianney and part of the Hawks the last two years.
Very aggressive hard-nose player, very good rebounder, takes ball to basket very well. Has developed a nice jumper and is an improving ball handler. She has seen the very best competition in practice at SJV and has been in the most competitive basketball environment in the state. She no question will be trying to crave out her spot this summer. Talented player worth watching.
