But whether student council president, environmental bureaucrat or member of Congress, most believe they know how to run your life better than you do.
I admit I was once guilty of this kind of thinking. As a young consumer reporter, I researched what doctors said was bad for us and what products might harm us. Then I demanded that the state pass rules to protect us from those things.
The concept of individual freedom was not yet on my radar screen. I apologize. I was ignorant and arrogant.
But at least I had no real power. I couldn't force consumers to avoid unhealthy things or pay for certain kinds of health care. I couldn't force any business to stop selling something. Only government can do that. Only government can use force.
Sadly, government is filled with people just as ignorant and arrogant as I was.
Economist Matthew Mitchell of the Mercatus Center likes to point out that governments impose regulations without acknowledging that the new rules will have unintended consequences.
I selfishly like smoking bans. I don't like breathing others' smoke. But the majority of us shouldn't force our preferences on the minority, even if they do things that are dangerous. Smokers ought to be allowed to smoke in some bars, if the bar owners allow it. But today in about half the states, no one may smoke in any bar.
It's totalitarianism from the health police. If secondhand smoke were dangerous enough to threaten non-smokers, the control freaks would have a point, but it isn't. It barely has any detectable health effect at all.
Rule-makers always want more. At first, they just asked for bans on TV's cigarette ads. Then they demanded no-smoking sections in restaurants. Then bans in airplanes, schools, workplaces, entire restaurants. Then bars, too. Now sometimes even apartments and outdoor spaces.
Can't smokers have some places?
So far, smokers just … take it. But maybe that's changing. The town of Westminster, Massachusetts, recently held hearings on whether to ban the sale of tobacco products altogether, and 500 angry people showed up.
One said, "I find smoking one of the most disgusting habits anybody could possibly do. On top of that, I find this proposal to be even more of a disgusting thing." Good for him.
Mitchell warns that "we are accustomed to thinking about the federal government and federal overreach. But a lot of the most intrusive regulations happen at the local level," as in Westminster.
A court threw out a soft drink ban imposed on my city, New York, by then-mayor Bloomberg, but my new control-freak mayor, Bill de Blasio, plans to reinstate the ban.
The rules keep coming. Another New York regulation, banning trans fats in restaurants, led to stringent bans on which foods people were allowed to donate to the hungry. I'd think the poor have bigger problems than trans fats.
Their biggest problem is the same one we all have: too much government.

Seamus Nolan: CAPP Commission 2017
Artist Seamus Nolan is the recipient of the prestigious CAPP commission with Dublin City Gallery The Hugh Lane and Create.
We are delighted to announce that the artist Seamus Nolan has been successful in the Collaborative Arts Partnership Programme (CAPP) Open Call for a socially engaged commission. This is a very significant commission in the collaborative arts sphere in Ireland. It has resulted from a successful collaboration between Create, the national development agency for collaborative arts and Dublin City Gallery The Hugh Lane, located in Parnell Square and is supported by the Collaborative Arts Partnership Programme (CAPP) a transnational programme co-funded by the Creative Europe Programme of the European Union. The applications, from across the CAPP network of partners, were of particularly high calibre with forty-one artists submitting diverse proposals in cross disciplinary artforms. This exciting commission will run from 2017 to 2018 and sets out to encourage meaningful and in depth engagement with communities of place and of interest as well as the distinct architectural, socio-political and cultural landscape of the North Inner City of Dublin. Seamus Nolan's proposal to investigate the idea of archive, deconstruct ideas on 'heritage' and engage with both communities of place and of interest, involving Traveller activists and archivists, stood out in terms of concept and imaginative power.
Barbara Dawson, Director Dublin City Gallery The Hugh Lane "We are delighted to work with Create and Seamus Nolan on this great commission. One of Ireland's foremost artists working in collaborative arts practice, Nolan has presented a powerful and thoughtful proposal focused on the Traveller community. Working with the community, Paveé Point, archives and archivists, the artist will go beyond any single reading of identity and heritage in a contemporary re thinking of established histories, memories and communities"
Ailbhe Murphy, Director of Create "We are delighted that Seamus Nolan, one of Ireland's leading collaborative arts practitioners, has proposed this very timely and relevant socially engaged project. With a focus on archive, identity and history in relation to the Irish Traveller community, Nolan will work with a number of collaborators to re shape and re work ideas about what 'heritage' and memory can be. We are really looking forward to working in partnership with the Hugh Lane on this exciting commission."
Seamus Nolan, artist "I am really pleased to have the opportunity through this commission to examine basic notions of representation and community building in relation to Traveller past and heritage. The commission will support the coming together of cultural practitioners, activists and archivists in an exploration of contested histories."
Martin Collins, Pavee Point added: "With the recognition of Traveller ethnicity it is important to explore how Traveller culture and identity can be integrated in an inclusive way into all aspects of Irish life. Pavee Point welcomes this opportunity to continue to develop innovative and imaginative approaches and looks forward to working with artist Seamus Nolan."

732 SHOWS
All your old time favorite Old Time Radio CRIME AND DETECTIVE SERIES shows AND MORE from yesteryear. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY THE LARGEST AND BEST COLLECTION OF YOURS TRULY, JOHNNY DOLLAR EVER ASSEMBLED. 732 shows. All for 1 low price. Packed on 1 DVD disk for maximum value.
Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar was a radio drama about a freelance insurance investigator with the action-packed expense account. The show aired on CBS Radio from February 11, 1949 to September 30, 1962. There were 811 episodes in the 12-year run, and over 720 still exist today. As originally conceived, Johnny Dollar was a smart, tough, wisecracking detective who tossed silver-dollar tips to waiters and bellhops. Dick Powell starred in the audition show, recorded in 1948, but withdrew from the role in favor of other projects. The role went instead to Charles Russell. With the first three actors to play Johnny Dollar -- radio actor Russell and movie tough-guy actors Edmond O'Brien and John Lund -- there was little to distinguish Johnny Dollar from other detective series at the time (Richard Diamond, Philip Marlowe and Sam Spade). While always a friend of the police, Johnny wasn't necessarily a stickler for the strictest interpretation of the law. He was willing to let some things slide to satisfy his own sense of justice, as long as the interests of his employer were also protected. The series ended in September 1954.

It's easy now to find someone's cell phone number, no matter who.
That sounds a little scary, but it's true, you can find anyone's cell phone number on the Internet with simple online cell phone finders. This new industry of cell phone finders sprung up as more and more people ditched their old landlines for new cell phones.
Now there are thousands of ways to find a cell phone number from public records. Now it's not a matter of can you find a cell phone number online, it's who can give me accurate records.
Nothing is worse than wasting money, and thousands of these illegitimate cell phone number finders and fake public records sites have sprung up, looking to take advantage of people looking for a cell phone number. Don't waste your time or you money with services that make huge promises but offer little by way of results. Make sure you find a site that brings you to an accredited results page. Make sure they are a Private Investigator Union Member and look for the National Association of Investigative Services seal. Without these two key things, you are probably throwing your money away on poor results.
But using a good service is quick and easy. The services cater mostly to employers and other people looking for a background check. But savvy programmers designed services from the ground up to help people looking to find a cell phone number online.
So don't fret that you can't find someones cell phone number, they are always available online -- just make sure you find the right tools to help you on your quest for that phone number.

Q: error problem with 1582 Incorrect parameter count in the call to native function 'ISNULL' i have 2 tables one (visits) and other one (patients) with relationship by mysql (patients) is with PK as patients.pid and visits.pid as index
and i wanted to use code in my vb.net app to get the last datetime record to check the patient if still inside the hospital admitted or discharge
so far i have this code with help of you guys

SELECT a.pid,MAX(ISNULL(b.sdat,'1901-01-01')),MAX(ISNULL(b.edat,'1901-01-01')) from patients a left join visits b on a.pid=b.pid Where ddatediff(now(),b.edat) <=365 group by a.pid

but when i execute in sql builder using php myadmin  or another app i get error
(1582 - Incorrect parameter count in the call to native function 'ISNULL')
i tried to find out the error cause but no luck until now

A: MySQL's ISNULL() is a comparison function, that takes a single argument and returns 1 if it is NULL. I think that you meant IFNULL() - or the more standard COALESCE().
I would also suggest moving the check outside of the aggregate function, for better efficiency:
COALESCE(MAX(b.sdat),'1901-01-01'),
COALESCE(MAX(b.edat),'1901-01-01')

The problem with religious squabbles is that there's a whole world outside of our religious circles that needs to hear the good news about Jesus, and instead of showing love and grace to those people, we're demonstrating that if they hear and accept the word of grace, they can expect to get embroiled in our foolish arguments. Paul made it very clear: if you want to follow the law, listen to what Jesus said and love your neighbor as yourself, otherwise the spiritual bloodbath will continue. There's no victory in being the only church standing after a spiritual dispute, but there's joy when God's people live in unity.
In spite of this warning from Paul, religious groups still tend to squabble. Usually those fights tend to deal with areas of doctrine that both sides believe will affect salvation. I can understand the intensity of belief involved in those discussions, but I can't understand forgetting all other aspects of my religion to enforce my belief in salvation. Another reason religious groups attack each other is when one of the groups has problems. A large denomination is having some major problems right now. Rather than attack them, we need to pray for them. A large percentage of people who separate from a religious group because of problems never get involved in their relationship with God again. The truth is that all religious groups have some kind of doctrinal error; God loves them anyway. All religious groups endure times when their leadership is publicly shamed for their sins. While the shame may be deserved, we aren't called to attack, we're called to pray because God loves them anyway. Jesus told us that people would know that we're Christians by our love for each other. Paul also reminded us of His response to the question about the greatest commandment. Throughout the Bible we're commanded to love our fellow Christians. Maybe if the world saw us loving each other, even when we're wrong, they might really believe that God can love them, even though they've sinned. Let's show that kind of love to the people around us.
Lord, I must be so hard to love, but You love me anyway. Remind me of that when I look at my brothers and sisters in Christ who may believe or behave differently than I do. Help me to love them and show that love in front of a world that's starving to understand and experience Your love.

Mr. Obama's Show
FOUR YEARS ago, an unknown state senator with an unlikely name made an unexpected splash at the Democratic National Convention in Boston. He summoned the better angels of the country's nature, expressing the audacious hope of uniting red and blue America. He stole the show -- but hardly anyone imagined that he could end up, four scant years later, seizing his party's presidential nomination. As the convention that will make that status official gets underway in Denver today, Barack Obama's meteoric rise underscores the challenge that he faces in seeking the presidency and that he will use the convention to address: Is he ready for the job? Does he offer, as Hillary Rodham Clinton scoffed during the primary campaign, mere flowery words unsupported by adequate experience? Is he, as John McCain now suggests, a dangerously untested celebrity?
The suggestion that Mr. Obama is all rhetorical fluff is mistaken. In the course of his meticulously planned campaign, he has laid out a set of detailed policy positions -- more detailed, in some key areas, such as health care, than Mr. McCain's. He has set broad presidential priorities: getting troops out of Iraq; expanding health-care coverage; promoting alternative energy and dealing with climate change. He is smart and thoughtful.
Yet Mr. Obama's campaign was founded on the notion that the specifics he offers are less central than the underlying imperative for a change in politics as usual. As Mr. Obama said in launching his candidacy 18 months ago, "What's stopped us from meeting these challenges is not the absence of sound policies and sensible plans. What's stopped us is the failure of leadership, the smallness of our politics -- the ease with which we're distracted by the petty and trivial, our chronic avoidance of tough decisions, our preference for scoring cheap political points instead of rolling up our sleeves and building a working consensus to tackle the big problems of America."
These are noble sentiments, and Mr. Obama certainly demonstrated an impressive ability to energize new voters during the long primary campaign. But the record is more mixed about his willingness to tackle the hard choices that he understands will be required of the next president or to change the poisonous tone of political discourse. The evidence of his tolerance for political risk-taking has been rather thin so far, and it would be naive to expect much more in what promises to be a close election. Mr. Obama, it turns out, is as capable of scoring the cheap political point as other politicians, and the sharp elbows he has been showing of late are viewed with more relief than regret by many in his party.
As Mr. Obama prepares to take his place at the helm of his party, where he will lead it remains hazy, even to those who have watched him closely. Conservatives caricature Mr. Obama as an ultra-liberal, the furthest-to-the-left Democratic standard-bearer since George McGovern in 1972. Some liberals, meanwhile, fume over Mr. Obama's positioning, or repositioning, on issues such as the warrantless wiretapping legislation, capital punishment or the Second Amendment.
In truth, it is possible to pick out an Obama position and place him at almost any point on the Democratic political spectrum. He was to the left of Ms. Clinton on some issues during the primary campaign, most notably ending the war in Iraq; he was to the right on others, in particular the question of whether individuals should be required to obtain health insurance. Mr. Obama argues that some of the schisms that divided the party on economic issues are less pronounced now than during Bill Clinton's presidency, yet he is clearly less concerned about cutting the deficit than the last Democratic president and less committed to lowering trade barriers. The era of big government would not be over in an Obama administration.
Where would a President Obama stand firm on principle? Where would he bend to achieve consensus? How would he balance the competing, and to some extent mutually exclusive, imperatives of mobilizing for leftward change and forging bipartisan agreement? These are difficult questions to answer in the abstract; they cannot be fully resolved by four days of speechifying or even a brilliant reprise of Mr. Obama's Boston performance. But many voters will be looking for clues this week.

Testing Google's 'Drunk E-Mail' Protector
By Claire Suddath Wednesday, Oct. 15, 2008
Best Shots from Google's Candid Camera
Best Inventions of 2008
For a company that's dominated the Internet by doing one simple thing well, Google has also managed to build a thriving side business in bells and whistles: its features offer everything from the ability to search inside books and videos to the ability to watch a kid fall off a bike from the privacy of your own home. So when I heard that Google had unveiled a new feature called Mail Goggles that is designed to stop you from sending embarrassing e-mails while drunk by requiring you to do math problems, my first thought was, That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. My second thought was, I want to try it.
One of Gmail's optional features — along with more sensible applications like keyboard shortcuts, an e-mail signature or a profile picture — Mail Goggles operates on the theory that if you're sober enough to complete a series of simple arithmetic problems, you're sober enough to decide if you really want to e-mail your ex-boyfriend and tell him you still love him. With Mail Goggles enabled, Gmail will send your e-mails only after you have completed five arithmetic problems within 60 seconds. By default, the feature activates during weekend nights between 10 p.m. and 4 a.m., although the settings allow you to change the date and time. If you're more of a Tuesday afternoon drunk, Mail Goggles will be there for you. Of course, at that point, you might have bigger problems to worry about. (See pictures of Denver, Beer Country.)
I decided to test Mail Goggles in the most systematic way possible. I surrendered my Saturday night to research, experimentation and the scientific method.
Hypothesis:
Mail Goggles will keep me from sending e-mails that I might otherwise regret.
2 bottles of wine
1 laptop
My college friend Laura, who once helped me climb up a concrete pedestal in order to dress a Civil War statue in a Hawaiian T shirt.
The test:
10:03 p.m. Mail Goggles is activated. I send a control e-mail to test my sober math skills. I subtract 12 from 22, and wonder if I'll ever be too incapacitated to come up with the number 10. "You know you can change the difficulty level," says Laura. We pour ourselves some wine, change the difficulty to Level 3 and start watching a movie. (See the 100 best movies of all time.)
10:25 p.m. I've had one glass of wine. I reply to a friend's e-mail about her recent bad date. Mail Goggles doesn't work — no math questions appear and the e-mail is sent. "Maybe you have to sign out and sign back in," suggests Laura. That works. If this is a necessary step, though, it's a huge flaw in the Mail Goggles system; nobody signs out of Gmail after every use.
10:45 p.m. Two glasses of wine. I e-mail another friend and tell him that his eyebrows are too big and he looks like one of the Jonas Brothers. I have this thought every time I see him, but I usually keep it to myself. The e-mail goes through. My friend will now ignore my phone calls for the next few days. I decide to change Mail Goggles' setting to maximum difficulty, Level 5.
11:10 p.m. Three glasses of wine. The problem 420+152 is not hard enough to keep me from e-mailing an acquaintance to tell her that I don't understand her religion and her clothes are out of date.
11:35 p.m. Three and a half glasses. I feel great. It takes me two tries because I mistype my answers, but I successfully e-mail Laura to tell her that I want more wine. "But I'm sitting right here," says Laura. She politely opens the second bottle. (See TIME's graphic of 50 American wines.)
12:17 a.m. Four glasses. To my unemployed friend with a master's degree: "Why don't you move out of your parents' house and get a real job?"
12:43 a.m. E-mail a co-worker and complain about the economic depression.
1:09 a.m. Mail Goggles makes me answer "8 x 2" twice. I use this opportunity to tell my cousin that her feet smell.
1:37 a.m. I drink some more wine and try to tell a friend that his hipster arm tattoo is going to look ridiculous when he gets older, but I can't type the words correctly and I get stumped on 517-139. I keep forgetting to carry the numbers. "Water and bed for you," says Mail Goggles, but then it lets me try again. And again. My insult succeeds on the third try.
1:52 a.m. You know what? I should e-mail my ex-boyfriend, even though we're not on speaking terms. Mail Goggles makes me divide 42 by 7 but otherwise has no problem with my incredibly bad decision. Maybe the program would work better if it filtered certain phrases like "What's your deal?" or "jerkface."
2:32 a.m. I write one last e-mail, apologizing for the previous e-mail, but I'm too tired to do the math.
2:47 a.m. I fall asleep on the couch and wake up half an hour later, thirsty and confused. Laura has apparently gone home.
10:15 a.m. I have three responses asking what my problem is.
Mail Goggles' math questions are too easy to deter any but the sloppiest of drunks. However, my last e-mail remained unsent. If you have to do math at 2:30 in the morning, you're more likely to stop sending e-mails because you give up, not because you actually get the answers wrong. As a purely dissuasive tool, then, Mail Goggles works as advertised. Of course, there's still the text message, the Facebook message and the good old-fashioned drunken phone call. There are plenty of ways to humiliate yourself if you try. And for those determined to reveal their true feelings via e-mail, the company that brought you Mail Goggles helpfully provides a way around it as well: the Google calculator.

B.C. to remain 'wild west' of campaign finance without a new government: experts
Campaign-finance squabbles permeate B.C. election
VANCOUVER — Without a change in government, British Columbia is likely to remain a "wild west" of campaign finance, where wealthy corporations and unions are free to donate unlimited amounts of money to curry favour with provincial politicians, experts say.
Voters head to the polls in less than two weeks and the province's lax political fundraising laws have become a dominant undercurrent in the election campaign.
The province's two main political parties are swapping accusations that the other is bought and beholden to deep-pocketed donors ahead of the May 9 vote. Corporate and union contributions are banned federally and in some provinces, while many jurisdictions restrict the amount donors can pledge.
Max Cameron, a political scientist at the University of British Columbia, said Thursday that the incumbent B.C. Liberals have been in power for 16 years and have shown little interest in reforming political fundraising laws, despite mounting public pressure.
"You need alternation in power. You need to have genuinely competitive elections where governments change," Cameron said.
"If the government is secure in office it's unlikely to introduce changes to policies that it benefits from."
New Democrat Leader John Horgan has said the Liberal party's funding by corporations is the largest in provincial history, and he accuses it of acting on behalf of its financial backers at the expense of average people.
Liberal Leader Christy Clark has denounced the NDP and its support from big labour, noting that the United Steelworkers Union is paying the salaries of the New Democrats' top campaign officials.
The B.C. Greens have rejected all corporate and union donations as it bids to expand its lone seat in the legislature.
Hamish Telford, a professor of political science at the University of the Fraser Valley, said B.C. has lagged behind other provinces because there has been no change in government since campaign-finance reform emerged as an issue in 2004. That was the year former prime minister Jean Chretien amended federal legislation.
Whether the contributions buy influence is not the issue, Telford said.
"The issue is perception."
The Liberals have said if they win the election they will set up a panel to look into campaign financing.
The NDP promises to ban union and corporate donations the day after forming a government, but it has come under fire for continuing to accept money in the meantime. Horgan said it is necessary to play by the current rules to level the playing field for donations.
But that argument undermines the New Democrats' alleged commitment to getting big money out of politics, said Duff Conacher, co-founder of Democracy Watch.
"If they win power based on those donations, then they have the conflict of interest already. It doesn't disappear just because they change the system," Conacher said.
Ontario faced similar criticism around its open campaign-finance laws before the provincial government bowed to public pressure and introduced reforms about a year ago.
Ontario's about-face is one of the reasons B.C. has faced so much pressure, Conacher added.
Robert MacDermid, an expert in campaign finance who teaches at York University in Toronto, said voter cynicism is one byproduct of a political system that favours access by the wealthy and well-connected.
"I think people understand undue influence. They understand the perception that rich people get specialized access to ministers and premiers," he said.
Updating political fundraising laws is meaningless unless those reforms are accompanied by the resources needed to enforce them, MacDermid added.

I'm not quite sure where to put this one, so I'm putting it here.
This morning (11/2) was a pretty epic one for AM Dxing. At about 3:58 AM eastern time, I picked up what appears to be CKNX (Wingham, ON) on 920 khz. I only pulled them in for a moment, but they were playing Gordon Lightfoot's "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald". Also, I was able to quite clearly hear CHML (Hamilton, ON), which was notably a bit off frequency. They were airing "The Shift with Drax" from about 3 to 5 AM. Reception was fair to strong, but competing against WCBS-AM. I'm in Stratford, CT.....heck of a catch, me thinks!
Re: Great Morning For DXing!
Nice to hear that other people still enjoy a bit of AM DXing. I have fond memories from my childhood of picking up stations at night from areas that I normally would never hear. It always felt like something magical and led to me wanting to learn more about the how and why of that. Thanks for sharing this.
Yeah....I still get into AM DXing from time to time. My best American catch on AM is WJR (from Detroit)….a couple of years ago, I pulled it in from Bridgeport CT on a cold winter night. Once, I even pulled in WSM-AM (Nashville) while trying to receive WFAN on 660....WSM is 650, so it was a bit off frequency.....from Fairfield, CT, around 806 miles away. Cool stuff.
I am just a little northeast of you, I manage to pull in three separate Chicago stations on 670 am, 720 am, and 1000 am. 670 am has been getting overwhelmed by a Spanish station from Miami. CKLW 800 am from Windsor, Ont is an easy get here.
CKLW 800 am from Windsor, Ont is an easy get here.
That usually comes in quite strong here as well.

Even back before direct elections, the various parties of the alternative and radical left in the European Parliament worked together in a political group: the Communists and Allies Group.
This group carried on under this name until 1989 when four parties, the Italian CP; the United Left of Spain, the SPP of Denmark and Synaspismos of Greece decided to form a Group called the Gauche Unitaire Européenne (GUE). Its English name was European Unitarian Left, subsequently changed in 1992 to European United Left.
The remaining parties, PCF of France, PCP of Portugal, KKE of Greece were joined by one MEP from Workers' Party of Ireland to form the Coalition des Gauches / Left Unity Group.
In early 1993, the Italian CP, renamed the PDS, who had already joined the Socialist International in 1991, moved from GUE to join the Socialist Group in the European Parliament.
After the European Elections of June 1994, a process of gathering together all the forces of the non-social democratic left then began. This alliance, enlarged to include other parties, was established as a political group at the beginning of the fourth parliamentary term, under the name Confederal Group of the European United Left (GUE). The member parties were: United Left of Spain; the Communist Party of France; Communist Refoundation of Italy; the Communist Party of Portugal; the Communist Party of Greece; and Synaspismos of Greece.
The first president of the Group was Alonso Puerta a member of the Izquierda Unida of Spain.
Following enlargement of the EU to the Nordic countries and Austria in January 1995, the Group expanded to include: the Left Party (VP) of Sweden and the Left Alliance (Vas) of Finland. At the same time the Socialist Peoples' Party (SF) of Denmark rejoined the group and together with the Swedish and Finnish parties formed the Nordic Green Left (NGL) component within the group.
The group was renamed the Confederal Group of the European United Left/Nordic Green Left, with GUE/NGL as the standard acronym.
In 1998, Ken Coates a distinguished MEP, formerly in the British Labour Party, joined the GUE/NGL from the PES Group and Carlo Ripa Di Meana, an Italian MEP and former Environment Commissioner, joined the group from the Greens to bring the GUE/NGL to 34 MEPs from eight countries.
In the European elections of 1999, all the outgoing parties were successful in securing representation in the new Parliament. They were joined in the Group by the Party of Democratic Socialism (PDS) of Germany. The Group also welcomed a third party from Greece, the DIKKI, and five MEPs from France, elected on the LO-LCR list. Since Alonso Puerta did not contest the elections, a new President was elected: Francis Wurtz of the French Communist Party.
During the course of the 5th legislature, a total of 8 MEPs joned GUE/NGL from other groups: Ilka Schröder from the Green Group and Freddy Blak from the PES in 2001; Ole Krarup and Jens Okking from the EDD and Gérard Caudron, Michel Dary, Sami Nair, et Michel-Angel Scarbonchi from the PES in 2002. This brought the numbers up to 49 MEPs from ten countries, the GUE/NGL's highest ever representation in the European Parliament and made it the fourth largest Group.
In 2003, as part of the accession process of 10 new Member States, Observers joined the Group from Cyprus (2), Czech Republic (3), Latvia (1), and Slovakia (1), and these became full MEPs on 01 May 2004.
The European elections in June 2004 saw a solid electoral performance by GUE/NGL parties. Fourteen outgoing delegations were returned with 38 MEPs. With the addition of two new MEPs from Ireland's Sinn Féin, and one from the Left Bloc of Portugal, the Group had 41 Members from 14 Member States. Francis Wurtz was re-elected President of the Group.
Following the elections of June 2009, several new delegations joined the group, the Socialist Party from Ireland and the UC from Latvia. In France, the Front de Gauche Pour Changer d'Europe elected MEPs to the group from the Parti Communiste and the Parti de Gauche. The French delegation also included a member from the Parti Communiste Réunionnais. The new group consisted of 34 MEPs from 12 member states. On this occasion, Francis Wurtz who had been an MEP since 1979 did not go forward and the group elected in his place Lothar Bisky of the DIE.LINKE party from Germany.
Since March 15th 2012, Gabriele Zimmer of the DIE LINKE. party has been the group's president. She was re-elected as President after the 2014 elections which saw a 50% increase in the group's size to 52 MEPs. New parties were welcomed: Podemos (Spain), L'Altra Europa con Tsipras (Italy), an animal rights party from the Netherlands, an animal rights party from Germany, Bildu (Los Pueblos Deciden coalition, Basque country), and Luke "Ming" Flanagan, an independent member from Ireland. The group also regained its Finnish representative from the Vas party. The GUE/NGL is the only group in Parliament where women and men are equally represented. The Bildu MEP resigned from Parliament in 2018 and, as pre-arranged, was replaced by an MEP who joined the Green Group. In November 2018, Emanuel Maurel joined the Group from the S&D.


Creative Commons, the growing global movement to relax restrictions on the fair use of intellectual property, launched its South African chapter in Johannesburg this week.
Creative Commons founder Larry Lessig, speaking at the launch event, described Creative Commons as recognising the need for sharing works and cited several examples of how CC was being used to develop new artistic products. He said Creative Commons turned thousands of consumers into creators of knowledge in world dominated by the consumer culture.
Yesterday Lessig opened the \"Towards an African Digital Information Commons\" conference at Wits University\'s LINK centre with a brief introduction to the philosophy underpinning the Creative Commons sense as well as a biting attack on the US government\'s support and propogation of the Trips (Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights) Plus agreements.
Lessig described how there were many creations that were \"non rivalrous\". These include digital works of art and writing that can be widely distributed without depriving the original creator or owner of the product.
\"These \'costly\' elements protect the powerful,\" he said.
Lessig said that challenge is \"to get these people to recognise that the commons has its place\".
Lessig closed the session with a strongly-worded attack on the Trips Plus agreements being proposed and advanced by the US and other European nations. \"There is something deeply unethical and contradictory in what the US government is doing it pushing the Trips Plus agreements.

Q: How many even four-digit numbers $> 3500$ can be formed by the symbols in $\{ 0,1,2,3,4,5,6 \}$?
How many even four-digit numbers $> 3500$ can be formed by the symbols in $\{ 0,1,2,3,4,5,6 \}$, if repetition is not allowed?

My attempt is as follows:

All even four-digit numbers $> 4000$ plus even four-digit numbers between $3500$ and $4000$

Even four-digit numbers $> 4000$:
$$
3 \times 6 \times 5 \times 4 = 360
$$
Even four-digit numbers between $3500$ and $4000$:
$$
1 \times 2 \times 4 \times 5 = 40
$$
Answer:
$$
40 + 360 = 400
$$

A: I agree with your approach but not with your calculations.
The simplest way seems to be to choose the digit of thousands first, then of units, then of hundreds and tens.
$\rightarrow$ 4-digit even numbers between 3500 and 3999:

*

*thousands : 3

*units : 4 possibilities

*hundreds: 5 or 6, if 6 is still available

*tens: 4 possibilities remain

Hence $1*(3*2*4+1*1*4)=28$ numbers
$\rightarrow$ 4-digit even numbers bigger than 4000, starting with 4 or 6:

*

*thousands : 2 possibilities

*units : 3 possibilities remain

*hundreds: 5 possibilities remain

*tens: 4 possibilities remain

Hence $2*3*5*4=120$ numbers
$\rightarrow$ 4-digit even numbers bigger than 4000, starting with 5:

*

*thousands : 5

*units : 4 possibilities

*hundreds: 5 possibilities remain

*tens: 4 possibilities remain

Hence $1*4*5*4=80$ numbers
Total: $28+120+80=228$

Tigers in Ashland Parking Lot!
A "flock" of Tiger Swallowtails descends upon the Joe Pye Weed blooms at Ashland Nature Center. Image by Derek Stoner, July 28, 2011.
Every summer a showy spectacle takes place in the corner of the Ashland Nature Center parking lot, right beside the recycling center. The blooming of the Joe Pye Weed attracts large butterflies in large numbers. By large butterflies, I mean the big and beautiful swallowtails. In this case, the predominant swallowtail is the Eastern Tiger Swallowtail, which happens to be the official state butterfly of Delaware.
This morning I counted 14 Tiger Swallowtails enjoying the nectar at the pink Joe Pye flowers. The highest number I've recorded at this patch is 47 swallowtails at once, also in late July several years ago. It is interesting to watch these colorful insects joust for the best nectar sources on the Joe Pye, with multiple butterflies sometimes perched on one flower.

Butterfly populations are "bumping" up now, with many species being seen in strong numbers and good reports coming in from the field. These sightings bode well for this Saturday's North America Butterfly Count– join us in the Ashland parking lot at 9:30am or 1:00pm on Saturday, July 30, to take part in this fun citizen sceince event!
Great shot of the Tigers- landing gear is down!
Where is Ashland parking lot. How do I get there from Ocean View, DE?
Please get directions to the Ashland Nature Center from http://www.delawarenaturesociety.org. I hope you can make the count.

Sarwa raises $8.4 million in Series A
News • 22 January, 2020

Sarwa, a Dubai-based low-cost robo-advisory platform, will open a second office in Abu Dhabi as part of a wider GCC expansion, after securing $8.4 million (Dh31m) in Series A funding from investors.
The funding round was led by Kuwait Projects Company, also known as Kipco, which has consolidated assets of more than $30 billion, with other leading investors including the Dubai International Financial Centre, Abu Dhabi Investment Office, Vision Ventures from Saudi Arabia and Hambro Perks from the UK.
Sarwa said the latest funding, which will fund its market expansion to Abu Dhabi and the wider GCC along with the growth of its tech and advisory teams and regulatory upgrades, is a "meaningful milestone" for the FinTech sector, as it is the first time a regional investment group has collaborated with a regional FinTech.
"The coming together of a large institution that understands how to build leading asset managers, with the first licensed FinTech out here sets a great example for the region," said Mark Chahwan, chief executive and co-founder of Sarwa.

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's only female Stevie Award winner, DHL's Customer Service Development Manager Reema AL Sadlan, explains why winning the prestigious award encourages her to create more opportunities for female colleagues.
A lot is changing in Saudi Arabia, and especially for women. Most recently, the country abolished some of the tight rules of male guardianship and also announced that women would be able to drive from June 2018.
At DHL Express, women have been fostered in business for a number of years. Teams of women have worked in telesales and data validation since 2008 – and customer service started in 2009, with ten women working at the call center. Today almost forty female DHL Express employees work in Saudi Arabia as tracing advisors, key account executives, customer care executives and supervisors. There are more than 80 women representing every function at DHL Express Saudi Arabia and an intention is to double this number by end of 2018.
Work has become increasingly progressive for females in the Kingdom over the past two years, and at DHL, Reema progressed steadily.
In 2014 she became the first female facilitator of DHL's Certified International Specialist program, followed by her successful acquisition of the Certified Master Facilitator in 2015, before moving on to become a "Train the facilitator" in the Middle East.
"The Assessment Center" project, which is a comprehensive evaluation approach that allows new candidates at DHL an opportunity to demonstrate their skills in a number of different situations. The Assessment Center initiative was fully designed and developed by Reema and will adopted and implemented by other DHL countries in Middle East.
The second initiative "English for Everyone" is designed to improve the English skills of DHL employees in the customer service department in a simple way and within working hours. The implementation of this project is unprecedented in Saudi Arabia, as it has skilled DHL volunteers train their colleagues, passing on invaluable knowledge and skills in a language that is much in demand by international customers in the Kingdom.
"I love my company and my country too – I am happy to be in a position where I can create opportunities for my female colleagues and encourage them so that they can get to an even better place in the future." said Reema Al Sadlan.
Stevie Award winners are selected by the average scores of more than 170 professionals worldwide by five specialized juries. Their scores determined the Gold, Silver and Bronze Stevie Award placements of the finalists. The results were announced at the 14th annual awards dinner on Friday, November 17th in New York City.
Considered as an employer of choice providing promising career opportunities for males and females and a commitment to achieving Saudization targets, DHL Express Saudi Arabia is dedicated to developing the local economy and society by empowering women in the work place, allowing them to assume responsibilities that are in line with their individual talents and that will provide them the experience necessary to ascend the corporate hierarchy.
After huge achievements in women's rights throughout two centuries, empowering all women and girls is still at the heart of the agenda for worldwide sustainable development.
DHL wins Stevie Gold, Silver and Bronze!


This module provides an introduction to the Republic of South Africa, an important country on the continent of Africa because of its political, social, and economic influence. Although the country still faces challenges such as continuing racism, the HIV/AIDS epidemic, and poverty, many countries in Africa (even throughout the world) look to South Africa for leadership and as an example of successful conflict resolution. South Africa experienced a remarkable, peaceful transfer of power in 1994 when all citizens could participate in fully democratic elections. This came after a long struggle against an oppressive white government. Since then, the government and the dominant political party have worked to build a "Rainbow Nation," a nation where people divided in the past by their race can live and work together. These issues and the history of South Africa are explored in the module.
Activity One introduces South Africa through an overview of its geography. Activity Two addresses South Africa's history. This activity is designed to be a resource of basic knowledge of South Africa's history as well as a lesson plan. Therefore, teachers are free to use the material as best suits their needs. A teacher may use the activity materials for one in-class presentation, a number of sessions focused on different periods of history, and/or assign the entire text as supplemental reading. Activity Three and Four focus in more detail on two aspects of building a "Rainbow Nation." Activity Three looks at the renaming of places in South Africa, a logistical aspect of overcoming physical segregation with municipal restructuring, and a political issue regarding historical memory and the legacies of colonialism and apartheid. Activity Four looks at South African sport, an important part of South African culture that can help us understand both the country's past and present.
The learning activities are designed to be used sequentially; however, each may also be engaged on its own. Each activity contains suggested classroom and individual learning exercises and may take three to four 50 minute class periods to present.
Africa is not a country! Sampling of North American and European perspectives on Africa, whether in a K-12 classroom, college lecture hall, civic or church group, almost always reveals the notion that Africa is socially, culturally, politically, and economical homogenous—Africa is perceived as a country, and not as a richly diverse continent comprised of 54 countries and a myriad of social structures, cultural traditions, and economic practices. Unfortunately, most text-books used in middle and high school social studies classrooms reinforce the perspective of African homogeneity and uniformity. Textbooks usually treat Africa as entity or provide chapters on two or three regions of Sub-Saharan Africa. This is in striking contrast to the treatment of Europe and Asia in the same text-books where it is the norm to have separate chapters on selected countries (e.g. China, Japan, India, Britain, France, Germany, Italy, etc).
Exploring Africa provides an essential alternative to the perspective of African homogeneity by accentuating the reality of Africa's political, social, cultural and economic diversity through the detailed study of South Africa and nine other important African countries.
Recognize and celebrate Africa's rich diversity. An in-depth study of South Africa and country perspectives from all regions of Africa facilitates knowledge and understanding of the rich diversity of African political, economic, cultural and social realities, traditions and practices.
Countries are important: In spite of the growing political importance of globalization, the nation-state remains the primary and most important political entity in the early twenty-first century geo-political world. This is true in Africa as it is in Europe, Asia, and the Americas. Through the comparative study of South Africa and the nine other selected African countries students will gain an understanding and appreciation for the similarities and difference among African nation-states and between African states, their own country, and countries in other regions of the world.
Throughout this module, numerous photographs will be used. It is important to remember that these photographs do not fully represent the "way things are" in South Africa. For example, photographs of different houses in South Africa represent actual houses, but cannot be seen as the only type of housing found across the entire country. Such photographs are just one among many possible representations. Photos are used in this module to help illustrate the geography and history of South Africa, and social, political and economic activities and practices of the country today. They do not represent a uniform way in which South Africans engage in these activities.
How has the physical geography of South Africa influenced the country's settlement patterns, economic activities, and international relations?
What factors have determined the course of South African history?
What groups of people have settled in South Africa? How and why? What does that tell you about how South Africa has been linked to the rest of the world?
How is South Africa similar to and different from other countries in Africa that you have learned about? How is South Africa similar to and different from the United States?
What legacies of colonialism and apartheid does South Africa face today? How are they dealing with them?
What does it mean to be a "Rainbow Nation"? How is South Africa working towards that and what challenges do they face in creating such a nation?
What role has sport played in South African society and history?
A clearer understanding of the geography, history, and cultures of South Africa.
A greater knowledge of the forces and actors that shaped South African history and still influence South Africa's politics, economics, and internal and global relationships today.
An awareness of how and why places are named and renamed in South Africa.
A familiarity with South African sports and their role in society and history.

Is debacle too strong a word for the 787? Perhaps not
Well I certainly didn't anticipate writing about Boeing's 787 problems two days in a row but it's impossible not to do so in the wake of the eye-popping developments last night.
All Nippon Airways Boeing 787 with its evacuation slides deployed after an emergency landing in Japan.
For those who haven't yet heard, All Nippon Airways and Japan Airlines yesterday grounded their 787 Dreamliner fleets — collectively 24 aircraft in all and nearly half of all 787 deliveries made so far — in the wake of an emergency landing by an ANA flight at Takamatsu airport in western Japan.
ANA said the aircraft's pilots received a cockpit message indicating battery problems. A burning smell was additionally detected in the cockpit and cabin. All 129 passengers and eight crew members evacuated safely using the emergency slides.
The episode comes in the wake of a decision last Friday by the FAA to conduct a review of the airliner and its certification after a litany of problems, many of them related to the lithium-ion battery technology the aircraft. Here's a link to a comprehensive list of recent snags from Britain's Telegraph newspaper.
Boeing last night tweeted this response: "We're aware of the ANA 787 diversion in Japan. We will be working with ANA and the authorities to determine what happened and why."
That the batteries once again appear to have caused a problem is striking. As I wrote in yesterday's post, the airplane makes use of battery technology in place of hydraulics as a weight-saving measure (the weight saving is one of the reasons the airplane is said to be 20 per cent more fuel efficient than other aircraft of its size). I came across a tweet today from Stephen Trimble (@FG_STrim), an aviation reporter and editor at flightglobal.com, who says a 787 lithium battery caught fire in 2006 and — ehem — burned down an office building.
By the way, here's a picture, in a story written by Stephen Trimble, released by the NTSB in the U.S., showing the charred battery box from an incident last week involving a JAL flight at Boston's Logan Airport. Clearly the battery was on fire.
I received training on extinguishing Lithium-ion battery fires when I was a flight attendant. They're commonly used as a power source for laptop computers and cell phones. When a li-ion battery has what's called a thermal runaway and overheats, the result is nasty. And cell phone batteries have had precisely these kinds of runaways on aircraft before. In fact there was one in 2011 in Australia. Temperatures can go as high as 1,110 F. The important first response is to cool the battery using water.
More from twitter: Josh Newman (@joshuan542), who is studying to be an AME in the UK, sent me a message pointing out that ANA and JAL use the same maintenance company. Worth noting, given the majority of the 787 problems have come from those two airlines. That said, those two airlines also have more of the aircraft than any other operator thus far.
By the way, Air Canada has ordered 37 787s so far. Here's a link to a list of 787 customers.
No one at this point would be surprised if the entire 787 fleet was grounded until the FAA completes its review. Increasingly, it would appear the FAA made a prudent decision last week and it's important for Boeing to respond as openly and transparently as possible and not simply assert the airplane is safe. Clearly it's not quite.

Q: Gradle uses locally stored dependencies or allways download content from internet? When importing a eclipse project to gradle I see this advice:

The Gradle project needs network connectivity to download
  dependencies.

My project is a generator that auto-compiles APK files. This means that each time one APK is compiled, gradle will download android-support-v4.jar and GooglePLayServices7.8.0 dependencies.
Will Gradle use downloaded versions available in the sdk folder?

A: Gradle donwload one time dependencies and cache them after. First time, it needs network connectivity depends if your dependencies are remote or local.

A: Gradle can import offline JAR libraries to your project, other than that it downloads the dependencies from the internet unless you change its settings to "Work Offline".


In one word: It's unreadable for us humans. Just look at this example in RPN: 1 2 3 4 5 6 + - - + - How long do you need to calculate the result if you just read along letter by letter? A long time, because until you reach the first plus sign, you simply can't do anything at all but remember the numbers. And we're bad at remembering many things. Just to make this clear, do the same in in-fix notation: 6 + 5 - 4 - 3 + 2 - 1 Reading along letter by letter, when you get to the last "1", you already have the answer of the calculation. This is not because we are used to infix notation more than RPN - it is just because it is the natural way things work. This also is not only the case for mathematical formulas, but also language. If I say "I gave you a book.", then in RPN it would be something like "I you book a gave". Or "I went to the shop and bought a book." would be "Book a I shop the to went bought and."

Darius Boyd won't be seen in any representative side after calling it quits.
Maroons rocked by shock retirement
12th Jun 2018 8:34 AM
QUEENSLAND are still licking their wounds after being swept aside by the NSW Blues in the opening game of the 2018 State of Origin series.
With their backs against the wall, coach Kevin Walters won't be able to rely upon calling on experience after another player decided to hang his boots up.
Darius Boyd has become the latest player to walk away from representative rugby league, following in the footsteps of Cameron Smith, Johnathan Thurston and Cooper Cronk.
Boyd was overlooked for the series opener due to form, but showed on the weekend he was still capable of producing at a high standard.
After 28 games with the Maroons where he scored 17 tries, Boyd decided the time was right to walk away.
''My time's done in rep footy," Boyd told The Courier-Mail.
"I've had a great career. I have nothing to be disappointed about. I'm really happy with everything I've achieved in the rep arena.
"I don't think I have anything more to prove. It's time for the younger fellas coming in. They have great players, really quality guys coming through."
In the round 14 clash against the Melbourne Storm, Boyd scored a try in the opening half and pointed to his wrist where the letters KW were written. Many speculated the initials were that of Maroons coach Walters.
Darius Boyd scores with KW on his wrist.
With Storm fullback Billy Slater still under an injury cloud, there was rumours the Brisbane Broncos skipper could have been in line for a call up.
Game 2 of Origin is set to kick off on June 24 and despite a potential elevation into the side, Boyd has ruled out reversing his decision.
"For me it's best to step aside and let the young guys go," Boyd said.
"It's their time to shine, and do their thing and keep the dominance Queensland has had so long."
The loss of yet another superstar will hurt the Maroons' chances of completing an Origin comeback however it could set in stone the foundations for a bright future.
BULLDOGS STAR OPEN TO MOVING ON
Moses Mbye may soon find himself in new colours.
Moses Mbye could have just one NRL game left for Canterbury after he left the door open to a mid-season switch to the Wests Tigers.
Speaking for the first time since he signed a four-year deal with the Wests Tigers last month, Mbye refused to rule out the possibility of a move to the club before the June 30 deadline.
Mbye was forced out of the Bulldogs due to the club's ongoing salary cap woes, and Tigers coach Ivan Cleary has made no secret he'd like to move him across earlier if possible.
The Bulldogs host Gold Coast at Belmore on Saturday before the representative round, meaning any switch would need to happen before Canterbury's June 30 trip to Newcastle.
An early move would potentially assist the Bulldogs' difficult situation, given the club would be able to juggle at least some money out of next year's roster and into their 2018 cap.
Mbye is yet to speak with Canterbury management about the situation but admitted it wasn't out of the question, especially if they drop out of running for the top eight with another loss.
"Any person who is smart enough to run a club this size has the brain to think about that sort of situation," Mbye said on Monday.
"With the situation, any dollar is a lot for this club at the moment, especially with the salary cap.
"It's the NRL, anything can happen ... But at the moment, I'm playing whatever games I have left."
Mbye's comments came after Canterbury dropped their 10th game of the season to St George Illawarra, leaving them 15th and equal on wins with last-placed Parramatta.
He would be a handy asset for the Tigers, who are in need of a full-time fullback as they attempt to climb back into the top eight from ninth spot.
The 24-year-old made no secret of the fact his first preference was to remain with the Bulldogs until the end of his 2020 contract at Canterbury.
"From day one I wanted to stay," he said.
"But I'm sort of aware of the situation we are in and what needed to happen.
"These are my mates. I've been at this club since I was 17 and I think the boys deserve my effort for at least until the end of the year."
However, he admitted it made sense for the Tigers to try and get him across earlier.
"I think the Tigers invested in a four-year term in myself and they'd want me to get there early. I think everyone would," Mbye said.
"But at the moment I haven't been approached by the club or I haven't approached the club about it.
"We'll just wait and see where the chips fall and see what happens."

Inner peace is the ultimate goal of life.
The life of Inner Peace, being harmonious and without stress is the easiest type of existence.
What is Inner peace ?
Inner Peace to me is a life without stress, where I don't fear with the problems in life and can be happy all the times. I don't have anything attached to me ( worldly affairs ) and I can understand the purpose of my life.
Peace simply means I have to keep my soul happy, and I have to do things which can make me proud of my own life. I have to dedicate my life in the right projects despite of wasting it simply doing nothing.
Buy the book Amazon .
In the book I stole a trick of starting my morning early and by looking at a rose for around 10-15 minutes with concentration. To read more about it I suggest you to read the book.
This method helped me to have a control over my thoughts. It gives a kick to start the day in a fresh and happy mood. One will feel happy when he concentrate on a particular thing for some time forgetting what's going around the world and in some days he will realize that this 15 minutes are the most productive time of his day. At this point he can have a talk with his soul.
You feel your soul, you can experience a miraculous change in your memory power. You will have a control over your feelings like anger, sadness or over patience.
I hope you will try this trick and see the inner peace achieved, it will make you really happy and healthy. In the hhustle-bustle of life leading a stress free life is a rarity and only a few can achieve it .
This is something really very powerful. I want to control my thoughts and I would definitely try this out. Thanks for sharing dear.
I am glad you are finding inner peace. It is so hard to achieve, and many people would rather be miserable taking no steps than happier taking the first.
Thank you for the book recommendation, too!
Great read for the day. And yes Robin Sharma was my first book too which was Who Will Cry When You Will Die? It changed my life.
Robin Sharmma is an inspiration.
