And, I was kind of right.
Coconut is like a crazy little boy who hides in things and then jumps out to roar at you like a dinosaur.
I don't know, maybe that analogy didn't work. What I'm trying to say is that coconut is in more places than I expected – and this is coming from someone who previously proclaimed that coconut oil cures all!
What I thought might be helpful is to update people along the way on what we've found.
We think Weston experiences rashes on his skin when he comes in contact with products with coconut if his skin is already irritated – think diaper rash + sitting in a bath tub with soap suds that have coconut oil in them. So, we've changed the hand soap we use in the bathroom and his shampoo / body wash. And, while this has helped, we can't control everything. He still washes his hands at school and is a thumb sucker so we notice irritation around his mouth but this seems minor in the grand scheme of things. The products we are using are included below.
This doesn't include coconut oil but does smell like black licorice – not ideal. I will let you know when I find a better smelling product. But, for now, it works!
This DOES include coconut oil but we haven't noticed any major irritation. I usually do an extra rinse cycle when I wash his clothes and so far, so good.
This was hard. I went to my local Co-op and with the help of a VERY nice lady, read the backs of shampoos for a long time. She eventually found this one and while my son smells like a baby hippie (which I love), we don't notice any skin irritation!
I had always used Huggies wipes which I loved but found they had ingredients derived from coconut. So, we switched to Water Wipes which seems to leave his skin less irritated. While the wipes seem much flimsier, we are making it work!
This is where we've struggled the most. One thing I looked into after learning of Weston's allergy was formula! Weston is no longer on formula but I was curious about options seeing as this was clearly an issue for us. And, I still haven't found one. I will update the blog as I continue to look.
With food, we've definitely connected Weston's exposure to coconut with breathing issues. He has a specific cough we've identified that signals an allergic reaction and it usually ends with him throwing up. But, all in all he's doing much better and we continue to learn. We're so thankful we've figured this out and just hope there are no additional food allergies.

Il principio di combinazione di Ritz (o principio di combinazione di Rydberg-Ritz) è una teoria proposta nel 1908 da Walther Ritz secondo la quale il numero d'onda di qualsiasi riga spettrale è dato dalla differenza tra due termini. Quando fu proposta era una regola empirica senza fondamenti teorici.

Il principio si basava sulla formula di Rydberg per l'atomo d'idrogeno:

con
 λ lunghezza d'onda della radiazione emessa
 RH costante di Rydberg dell'idrogeno
 ,  interi ed
I due termini, la cui differenza dà una riga spettrale, rappresentano i livelli energetici atomici iniziale e finale.

Si può generalizzare l'equazione di Rydberg per elementi diversi dall'idrogeno tramite la formula di Rydberg-Ritz:

con:
  costante di Rydberg per un dato elemento chimico
 a e b parametri caratteristici di ogni elemento (per l'idrogeno, a e b sono pari a 0)

Ogni elemento chimico ha la propria costante di Rydberg . Per tutti gli atomi idrogenoidi (ossia quelli con un solo elettrone sull'orbita più esterna),  può essere derivato dalla costante di Rydberg "all'infinito" (per un nucleo infinitamente pesante), come segue:

dove:
  massa del suo nucleo atomico
   massa dell'elettrone

La costante di Rydberg "all'infinito" (CODATA, 2014) vale

dove:
  costante di Planck ridotta
   massa dell'elettrone
   carica elementare
   velocità della luce nel vuoto
   costante dielettrica del vuoto
 α costante di struttura fine

NLD government to face tougher challenges in 2018
Among the many countries struggling for democracy, some succeed, some fail, while others slide back after a few measures of success.
Myanmar is one of these countries, which recently gained democracy through peaceful reforms and elections but now appears to be sliding back to its old draconian ways.
After more than 20-year military rule, the National League for Democracy (NLD) government finally took office in end of March 2016, and it is now into its second year (to be exact one year and eight months).
But the praises, hopes and supports for Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and her NLD when they were struggling for democracy against the military rule have started to turn into disappointments and criticisms.
Major negative points for the new government include slowing of the economy, having no progress in its peace efforts, narrower freedom of speech and failure to implement election promises.
Experts on Myanmar affairs cited the key reforms the NLD have to start implementing, as follows:
The cabinet and centralisation
Since taking office in April 2016, the NLD-led government reduced the number of ministries and minimized the appointment of deputy ministers, which gained the support of the people as it helped to reduce government's expenditure. However, the arrangement did not last for long.
The government established new ministries, like the State Counsellor's Office Ministry, Union Government Ministry and International Cooperation Ministry, and has started to appoint deputy ministers for some ministries. Currently, there are 22 ministers and 14 deputy ministers at 24 different ministries.
There hasn't been any strong protest against the government yet but questions have been raised on the performance of the ministries, especially two ministers responsible for economy – Minister for Planning and Finance and Minister for Commerce.
Political analysts are also sceptical over the recent reshuffle, whether it will guarantee development.
The main culprit, they argue, is "too much centralisation" and the most responsible person would be Daw Aung San Suu Kyi herself.
"The most serious mistakes do not lie with the ministers. Daw Aung San Suu Kyi is shouldering many tasks without being able to manage it," U Kyaw Win, an expert in Myanmar affairs, said.
"She needs to delegate. To be frank, centralisation is too much. Therefore, reshuffling ministers may not make a difference," he added.
At present Daw Aung San Suu Kyi is the minister for both the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and President Office Ministry, and her roles include chair, vice chair and member in 16 committees covering peace, Rakhine issues, economy, rule of law, citizenship and international relations.
Why is she involved in so many tasks?
"I don't think she actually likes centralisation. There are two possible reasons – she doesn't trust her men or she doesn't have qualified candidates or both," U Kyaw Win said.
Another analyst said the government should give clear instructions and guidance to the ministries.
U Khin Zaw Win, founder director of think-tank Tampadipa Institute, said it is necessary to give full authority to chief ministers, despite questions on whether state and regional ministers were given full authority to govern their states even under the 2008 Constitution.
"The military government had controlled the power for 50 years. It is just to obey orders. If that system is continued in the democracy era, there is no hope," he said.
To reduce centralisation, the right-man- right-place policy should be practiced without discrimination and only then can development be seen in key sectors, including the economy, U Khin Zaw Win added.
U Kyaw Win, on the other hand, noted that Daw Aung San Suu Kyi should learn to work with officials from the previous military government.
"She may not want to use people from the previous government. As I assumed she thinks she can handle the government only with the men who are loyalty to her. After two years, she needs to realise it doesn't work," U Kyaw Win said.
Peace and amending constitution
Peace and amending the constitution were the main election pledges of NLD, with peace as the foremost priority.
But despite two sessions of the 21st Century Panglong Conference, new ethnic armed groups could not be persuaded to sign the Nationwide Ceasefire Agreement (NCA).
Peace may be the most promising element in 2018. But NCA will not become an all inclusive agreement. Although it is possible to see some United Nationalities Federal Council (UNFC) members joining the NCA, experts could only see a half-completed peace process.
"NLD seems to target 2020 election with peace as its theme. The 21st Century Panglong Conference may be held several times this year. Then they may push the amendments of the constitution by submitting acquired agreements to the Hluttaw. But all inclusiveness will be difficult," said U Min Zin, executive director of the Institute for Strategy and Policy (Myanmar).
Myanmar ethnic armed conflict expert Swedish journalist Bertil Lintner observed the current path to political dialogue after signing NCA doesn't work for peace.
"Although Mon and Karenni may sign NCA, how can peace be gained without the 80 percent that represents the ethnic armed groups," he raised a question.
For effective result, political dialogue should go first then followed by signing of the NCA, he advised.
The 2008 Constitution
The NLD strongly protested against the 2008 Constitution drafted by the military generals during the opposition rule. After 2012 by-election, the NLD failed to amend Section 436 of the constitution in cooperation with 88 Generation students.
But when it took power after the 2015 election, there was no attempt to amend the constitution, although Daw Aung San Suu Kyi is trying to make amendment via peace channels.
U Kyaw Win, who participated as a political expert in the first round of 21st Panglong Conference, advised that ethnic armed groups and the Tatmadaw should be allowed to negotiate for the relatively easy amendments while the government stays neutral.
He also noted that amendments should start in resource allocation and mandate of Pyidaungsu Hluttaw to decide when there is disagreement between Pyithu Hluttaw and Amyotha Hluttaw and appointment of Chief Ministers by President.
For constitutional amendment, firm peace must be built first with NCA-signatories rather than focusing on all inclusiveness, he said.
"Then, they can approach the Tatmadaw, say, to reduce 25pc seats to 20pc or three ministers to two," he added.
Rakhine issues
The biggest blow to NLD government in 2017 is the northern Rakhine State conflict which will continue as a major issue in 2018.
The Myanmar government should handle it very carefully as international strong criticisms are escalating. The businessmen are worried about how the government could prevent possible economic sanctions in 2018.
"A blind denial from Nay Pyi Taw for international accusations will not work," said international relations researcher U Khin Zaw Win.
The Rakhine conflict has reversed the relationship between Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and the western nations and expanded the role of China both in peace and Rakhine affairs of Myanmar.
Such situations will still firmly exist in 2018. Despite recognition of China's role, political observers suggested Myanmar's relationship with the western world should be reinstated.
Another issue related to Rakhine conflict is demographic changes. Post-Cyclone Nargis migration has increased, fuelled by the mid-2012 outbreak of violence in the area.
The government was asked not to issue household certificate to non-Mon families in Mon State and Daw Aung San Suu Kyi was requested by Kachin Independence Organization (KIO) leader N' Ban La to settle the problem of Rakhine people entering into Hpakant in Kachin State, U Min Zin said.
Lack of education to accept diversity among the races, to face the changes and having insufficient awareness via media, trigger anxieties and conflicts, he warned.
"Incidents happen very fast. The ability to change the people's mind is low. We are afraid of new neighbours, new words or new foods. If something happens, it can lead to violence. It is the worst in Rakhine State," U Min Zin commented.
Role of Tatmadaw and civil-military relationship
The escalating Rakhine conflict and unending pocket wars are signs of increased Tatmadaw's role in 2018.
"Unless conflicts are controlled, the role of Tatmadaw can't be ignored," U Khin Zaw Win said.
The current government pays too much attention over the constitutional veto granted to the Tatmadaw rather than functional veto of Tatmadaw, which means the inevitable role of the Tatmadaw in conflict, said U Min Zin, who contributes articles about Myanmar political situation to the US based magazine, Foreign Policy.
According to 2008 Constitution, the Tatmadaw has 25pc of legislation power and the authority for three ministries- Defence, Home Affairs and Border Affairs.
"If conflicts based on religion and race happen in addition to Kachin and Rakhine conflicts, the functional power of Tatmadaw will become more important," U Min Zin said.
U Min Zin said it is important for the government and the Tatmadaw to have a good relationship in order to reduce conflict.
But he noted that a good relationship needs to go beyond just shaking hands in public. The Government need not be afraid of the Tatmadaw but should build a working relationship with the organization
For the stability in the transition, there should be a political pact between the Tatmadaw and Daw Aung San Suu Kyi. But, such a thing doesn't still exist.
Analysts noted that political change will be slow to come without the consent of the Tatmadaw.
"To be frank, there is no problem as long as the government does not try to confront the Tatmadaw," U Kyaw Win said.
He said Daw Aung San Suu Kyi knows too well this reality, as evidenced by the way she and her civilian government is responding to the Rakhine crisis. It can be gleaned in the way she used words when she answered accusations of human rights violations against the military in Rakhine conflict.
"Whether you like it or not, any political change will be difficult without the consent of the Tatmadaw. This is bitter truth. Daw Aung Suu Kyi understands it. I think by far there is no mistake in relationship with the Tatmadaw," U Kyaw Win said.
To reduce the role of the Tatmadaw, it is important for peace to go one step forward with agreements, he pointed out.
"If an agreement to do what at which stage can be reached, the change can peacefully happen however long it takes," U Kyaw Win said.
Democratic transformation and human rights prospect
The answer to the question on how far the NLD government has succeeded in implementing democratic transformation can be summed up in a single word: 'unsatisfactory.'
Although Daw Aung Suu Kyi had said before that even the presence of only one political prisoner is too much, the number hasn't declined since her taking office.
According to the list from political prisoner freedom committee, there are still 46 political prisoners in jail and 49 are facing trials. And it is indisputable that media freedom has become narrower under NLD government.
The NLD government has been wasting time focusing on popular topics like building Bogyoke statue and naming Bogyoke Aung San bridge, U Min Zin said.
Another possible issue in 2018 is leadership problem. There is no plan for such a situation when something happens to the leader in person-oriented Myanmar politics. There is a question on how to deal with leadership vacuum in case of fall of political influence or deterioration of health.
"Uncertainty caused by a leadership vacuum may create a big issue. Such leadership vacuum cannot be ruled out in 2018," U Min Zin forecast.
The problem is too much dependence on the leader. Myanmar politics is like following the captain of a ship rather than the compass, U Min Zin said.
"It is like that the people on a boat are asking to follow the captain rather than the compass. In the long run, it is very difficult to predict the strategy when faced with severe weather," said U Min Zin.
U Min Zin urges the people to continually monitor the performance of the government and the people they voted into office.
"People need to assume that they are masters, they must decide, they must watch and check and balance," he said.
For the NLD leaders, the pillars of democracy will not fall as long as it has the support of the people.
"It is true that our party is weak in administration experience. We admit it," Monywa Aung Shin, an NLD central executive committee member, said. "But it is not true that we can't rule as we don't have experience. We will try to be better."
He said the current democratic pillars may still be weak but it is strong enough to hold the country until stronger pillars could replace them in time. He added the strength of the current government lies in sound leadership and public support.

Today I designed and purchased our business cards to get started in NOLA. They are pretty basic; glossy, double-sided, and have a feel that Giglines tries to provide.
I figured in order to meet new people, a business card is a great opener and most people expect them…even in this day and age of tech at a tech conference. Hopefully these cards will fall into the rights hands at Startup Weekend New Orleans and bring some attention our way. Let us know what you think.
I like the design and it was given rave reviews from the other Giglines partners…so I think we have a winner (believe me, this was not my first version…more like 5th).
Eric is a skilled developer that has previously started, ran, and sold a company before joining Giglines as the CTO. With over 10 years experience as a developer he has amounted to over 7 programming languages and a multitude of recognition across the coast. Now Eric manages Future Design Group, a marketing agency based in Florida and Mississippi.

Listen up: These are the best choices for text dictation and navigating Windows.
If you've never been much of a typist, or you have an issue that prevents conventional use of a keyboard and mouse, you can still use voice recognition software to get around Windows and MacOS and to dictate text. In fact, dictation will be faster than typing for most users. Here's the best voice recognition software out there.
Why are the Dragon Naturally Speaking products so expensive?
They are reputed to be the best at speech recognition, and their products have tools that adapt to your workflow so that you can produce documents and spreadsheets more quickly. However, Google Docs voice dictation may be good enough for your needs. You can try out Google's implementation for free at any time. Dragon doesn't have a free trial, but you get a 30-day money back guarantee.
If my computer didn't come with a microphone, where's the best place to get one?
Amazon is probably your best bet, given its wide selection and fast shipping. If you can't wait, your local big-box department store should have a few in the electronics section, and Best Buy carries them.
That's right, Windows 7 and 10 have high-quality voice-activated controls baked in. (MacOS has very good speech recognition, too, but it's limited to text dictation.) In Windows 10, you'll give voice commands to Cortana to open menus, files, and programs, and make general inquiries like you would with Siri or Google Assistant. In Windows 7, you'll use the Speech Recognition tool instead.
Dragon Home is centered around dictating text and light web browsing, but it's the gold standard for speech recognition. Dragon can analyze your outgoing Gmail and Yahoo mail to improve word detection, and there is a comprehensive tutorial to get you started on the program as a whole. Plus, unlike Google Docs dictation, it doesn't require an Internet connection. Prices start at $100.
We've already sung the praises of Docs, and its dictation tool is quite accurate. Dictating works in dozens of languages; punctuation can be performed in German, Spanish, French, Italian, and Russian; text navigation is limited to English. Docs' dictation feature is also limited to Google Chrome users, but Google's web browser is pretty great and also free.

Illegal Activities?: US Investigation of Crypto Exchange Binance: Crypto Investment Firms Reveal Communications | news
Forex in this article
• US Attorney's Office requests for information from crypto investment companies regarding connection to Binance
• Binance has apparently been targeted by authorities since 2018 for possible unlicensed money transfers, money laundering and sanctions violations
• So far no charges against Binance
Since the collapse of the crypto exchange FTX and the subsequent machinations of Sam Bankman-Fried and Co., the call for stricter monitoring and regulation of the crypto market has become stronger again. "Regulators will rightfully scrutinize this industry much, much more closely, which is probably a good thing," Changpeng Zhao himself, founder and CEO of the world's largest crypto exchange Binance, said in November 2022, according to The Washington Post. Binance itself is also targeted – by the US Attorney's Office. According to Reuters, there have been investigations into the crypto exchange since 2018. Now, as part of the federal probe, several US investment firms have apparently been asked to hand over records of their communications with Binance.
Trade Binance Coin and other cryptos with leverage via CFD (long and short)
Binance Coin and other cryptocurrencies have recently corrected significantly. Trade cryptos like Bitcoin or Ethereum with leverage on Plus500 and participate in rising and falling prices.
Plus500: Please note the information5 to this ad.
Binance closes loopholes for illegal activities
According to The Washington Post, US hedge funds that do business with the crypto exchange Binance have received subpoenas in the past few months. These are part of a long-running investigation into Binance for possible violations of anti-money laundering rules. As reported by Reuters, US prosecutors had already requested extensive internal records of Binance's anti-money laundering controls and discussions involving Zhao and other Binance executives in 2020. The investigations, which the news agency said also focus on possible unauthorized money transfers and violations of criminal sanctions , was said to have started two years earlier, i.e. shortly after Binance was founded in 2017. Back then it should have been possible. only registering with the crypto exchange with an email address, which enables anonymous transactions and makes money laundering easy. Regulators in the US and elsewhere are said to have been deliberately circumvented, according to Reuters. "Binance didn't have a reputation for being a responsible exchange," John Ghose, a former US Justice Department official, told The Washington Post.
Binance itself now admits that there were regulatory deficits in the company's early days. However, that has changed now. The crypto exchange communicates daily with "virtually every regulatory body around the world," Binance chief strategy officer Patrick Hillmann told The Washington Post. "In the last two years, the company has completely changed its attitude," continued Hillmann. "Now that we have these resources, we are certainly one of the most proactive parties in identifying, freezing and recovering laundered funds."
Also according to Cointelegraph, Binance has joined the Chamber of Digital Commerce, a lobby group that wants to influence future regulations for the crypto sector, and has joined the Association of Certified Sanctions Specialists (ACSS). This was established, according to information on its website, "to promote sanctions compliance by supporting the professional development of the individuals who lead these efforts." Nevertheless, according to "Reuters", Binance is said to have processed Iranian transactions worth around one billion US dollars between August 2021 and November 2022 – despite existing US sanctions aimed at cutting off Iran from the global financial system.
Corporate structure of crypto exchange makes work difficult for US authorities
But according to The Washington Post, one of the biggest challenges for investigators is proving that Binance is even subject to US law. For example, Binance Holding Ltd., a shell company that operates several Binance subsidiaries, is based in the Caymans. The company's primary offshore exchange, Binance.com, does not operate in the United States. "Binance.com is not an American company," Binance Chief Strategy Officer Hillman said, according to Reuters. Therefore, the company does not believe that it should be registered with the Ministry of Finance. But it is a basic requirement for compliance with the Bank Secrecy Act, according to The Washington Post.
In fact, US users can only access Binance.US – a separate exchange operated by a US company and registered with the Treasury Department as a money services company since 2019, according to Reuters. According to Binance CEO Zhao, Binance.US is a "completely separate entity" that operates independently of Binance.com. Binance.US customers only have limited investment options compared to the main exchange Binance.com. For example, it is not possible to trade crypto derivatives at Binance.US. However, the news outlet suggests that the US crypto exchange was created only to distract the attention of regulators from the main platform. Changpeng Zhao is said to have been concerned that US authorities could access Binance's internal records.
However, the current requests for information from the prosecutor's office to US crypto hedge funds may be related to possible unauthorized trading on the offshore exchange Binance.com. Because while several major U.S. crypto hedge funds told The Washington Post they would only use the Binance.US trading platform or generally prefer the publicly traded crypto trading platform Coinbase, the CEO of a New York investment firm told the paper that his firm would trade on Binance's offshore exchange through non-US entities. Although this is prohibited for US citizens, businesses and citizens are very different, according to the hedge fund manager.
Accusations against Binance could deal a new blow to the crypto world
So far, the US Attorney's Office is only investigating. No charges have yet been filed against Binance — or any of the crypto hedge funds. According to The Washington Post, the current subpoenas also do not mean that an indictment is imminent. According to information from "Reuters", the prosecutor's office is currently discussing how to proceed and whether to seek a comparison or whether there is sufficient evidence for an indictment against the crypto exchange. According to the news agency, however, some of the federal prosecutors involved believe the evidence already collected would justify taking aggressive action against Binance and even filing criminal charges against founder Changpeng Zhao and other executives. Should an indictment actually come, due to Binance's dominant role in the sector, it could lead to another earthquake in the crypto market, which is currently experiencing great uncertainty anyway.

Hillier Bartley
SPRING 2020 READY-TO-WEAR
By Chioma Nnadi
Bourgeois dress codes have been making a comeback lately, mostly of the Parisian, 1970s variety. Hillier Bartley is proposing a decidedly English take on that idea for Spring, partly inspired by Lady Diana. Though it's been over 20 years since her untimely passing, the number of tribute accounts dedicated to the princess and her style is only growing. Indeed, that distinctive mix of fashion classics (Ferragamo pumps, pie-crust blouses) and athletic basics (cycling shorts, baseball caps) appears to be more relevant than ever. Fast becoming a signature for the label, the Hillier Bartley mom jeans were very much in Diana's wheelhouse, and this season they came with a cool mock-croc leather waistband. Add to that a number of other chic wardrobe staples, including a merino turtleneck sweater in pale pink, a simple white monogram pocket tee, and a crisp black shirtdress that wouldn't be wildly out of place in Kate Middleton's wardrobe.
Elsewhere, a more anarchic spirit won out. Hillier Bartley is known for its subversive tailoring, and for Spring it was best exemplified by a double-breasted Prince of Wales–check suit with eye-catching zig-zag fringing across the back. The matching fringed tuxedo pants were a showstopper even sans blazer, and they looked especially good with one of the brand's asymmetrical long-sleeved white shirts, a punkish silhouette that first emerged for Fall. Accessories designer Katie Hiller has been slowly building out the brand's handbag business, and the new triple-pocket structured style hit the sweet spot between ladylike and utilitarian. Designed to be worn two-by-two and finished with sparkling gold chains, the label's new belts are the kind of instantly transformative pieces that will easily carry into the new season.

Memphis The American Southern Methodist
No. 25 Memphis going for 7th win in row in series vs SMU
By The Associated Press - Oct. 01, 2020 04:29 PM EDT
FILE - In this Dec. 7, 2019, file photo, Memphis deputy head coach Ryan Silverfield, left, watches a replay on the scoreboard with quarterback Brady White, right, during an NCAA college football game against Cincinnati for the American Athletic Conference championship in Memphis, Tenn. After winning their first American Athletic Conference last season, the Memphis Tigers want to make sure they do not skip a beat with Silverfield now their third different coach in six seasons. (AP Photo/Mark Humphrey, File)
No. 25 Memphis (1-0, 0-0 American) at SMU (3-0, 0-0), Saturday at 3:30 p.m. ET (ESPN2).
Line: Memphis by 2.
Series record: Memphis leads 6-3.
WHAT'S AT STAKE?
Memphis is playing for the first time in four weeks, since a win over Arkansas State in its Sept. 5 season opener before having to postpone two games because of COVID-19 cases in its program. The Tigers have won the last six games in the series against SMU, which was 8-0 last season before a 54-48 loss in Memphis last October.
KEY MATCHUP
The former graduate transfer quarterbacks who are both back after combining for 806 yards passing without an interception in their head-to-head meeting last November — SMU's Shane Buechele had 456 yards and Brady White 350 in the win. White, a former graduate transfer from Arizona State, was the only 4,000-yard FBS passer last season, and had 280 yards passing with four touchdowns in the opener. Buechele began his career at Texas before throwing for 3,929 yards and 34 TDs for SMU last season. He has 852 yards and seven TDs in three games this year.
Memphis: TE Sean Dykes had 10 catches for 137 yards and two touchdowns in the opener against Arkansas State.
SMU: Redshirt freshman RB Ulysses Bentley IV is averaging 10.6 yards per carry. He has rushed for 380 yards on only 36 carries, and already has seven touchdowns.
SMU is one of only two American Athletic Conference teams to play three games in September, even after having a game at TCU postponed because of a virus outbreak for the Frogs. ... The Mustangs have averaged 49 points in their first three games, and are 3-0 in consecutive seasons for the first time since 1983-84. ... Memphis has played only one game since its last trip to Dallas, a 53-39 loss to Penn State in the Cotton Bowl last Dec. 28 in Ryan Silverfield's debut as their head coach. That game was played at AT&T Stadium, about 25 miles from SMU's campus. ... The Mustangs have won their last seven home games since Memphis won 28-18 at the end of the 2018 season.

How to Become a Filmmaker
Filmmakers differ from directors in that they are responsible for every aspect of a film production. As a filmmaker, you might come up with the idea, write the script, raise money, find filming locations, audition actors, and direct the piece. In the process of doing your job, you may have to handle the stress of trying to meet deadlines. You'll usually work an irregular schedule, and possibly encounter rough weather conditions when filming on location.
While there are no formal requirements to become a filmmaker, a bachelor's degree in film and television production is recommended as it will provide you with an opportunity to acquire many of the skills necessary to work in the field, as well as gain experience with projects and establish industry contacts.
Key skills for filmmakers include creativity, attention to detail, organizational skills, leadership skills, and technological skills, including proficiency with editing software, such as Final Cut Pro or Avid, and knowledge on how to operate camera equipment. In 2015, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that the median annual salary for all producers and directors was $68,440.
Step 1: Earn a Bachelor's Degree
The first step towards becoming a filmmaker is to earn a bachelor's degree. In order to gain the knowledge and skills needed to become a filmmaker, individuals may want to enroll in a bachelor's degree program in film and television production. Courses in this program will give students the technical and creative abilities necessary to make their own films. Students will learn about camera operation, lighting and sound, editing, screenwriting and animation. The program will also teach students the differences between scripted films and documentary films.
Here's a success tip: focus your attention on screenwriting. While directors are responsible for making decisions on a set, creating the shots, and instructing the actors. Filmmakers may also need to write the scripts they produce. Writing short films, creating scenes or developing treatments in school will give you a chance to learn the writing process and improve your screenwriting abilities.
Step 2: Create a Short Film
The second step toward becoming a filmmaker is to create a short film. Many bachelor's degree programs offer students an opportunity to create a short film during their senior year. Creating a short film offers students a chance to apply on the set what they've learned in the classroom. After students write the script, they will learn how to lead a crew, manage a budget, secure locations, audition and direct actors, set up a schedule and edit footage.
Here's a success tip: send your short to film festivals. Exposure at film festivals is a good way to connect with professionals in the industry, and interact with filmmakers participating in the event. Some festivals highlight or have special sections for student work.
Step 3: Gain Experience
The third step toward becoming a filmmaker is to gain experience. After graduating with a bachelor's degree, individuals may not be ready to become filmmakers. However, it's important to continue to gain experience. While recent grads may work as production assistants, they may also be able to find work as camera operators, editing assistants, or writers on low-budget independent films. Working on films is also an opportunity to begin networking and meet other professionals in the industry.
Here's a success tip: continue creating your own work. With the advent of digital production and film making, creating independent films has become much more accessible and inexpensive. Learning how to complete a film from start to finish will prepare you for larger and more professional productions.
The steps toward becoming a filmmaker include earning a bachelor's degree, creating a short film, and gaining experience.

As the Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL) expands, members are reporting rifts in various factions of the group. Those who have fled the group and residents in areas the jihadist group controls claim that the more fighters the group recruits, the more problems ISIS leaders have begun to face.
The jihadist group established a self-proclaimed caliphate in Syria and Iraq. The leaders promised "Muslim unity," but bringing together those of different nationalities has created challenges.
"The Syrian fighters feel they've been treated unjustly in comparison to the foreign fighters," said an anonymous Syrian.
Foreign fighters receive $800 a month while the local fighters only receive $400. One defector said the foreign fighters do not want to fight, but opt to join the squad to enforce the Islamic State's moral codes.
Some members of the group's Shura council, which dispenses religious guidance, insisted he be ransomed or exchanged in a prisoner swap, saying burning him alive had no precedent in Islamic texts, one defector said.
Eventually, Lt. Kasasbeh was placed in a black steel cage, doused with gasoline and set alight. The move not only dismayed some members of Islamic State but damaged the organization's reputation among members of rival jihadist groups it is attempting to co-opt, according to another defector.
In the Iraqi city of Mosul, the water has become undrinkable because supplies of chlorine have dried up, said a journalist living there, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to protect his safety. Hepatitis is spreading, and flour is becoming scarce, he said. "Life in the city is nearly dead, and it is as though we are living in a giant prison," he said.
Despite the lavish living quarters, the foreign fighters quickly realized that the promises made to them about the jihadi lifestyle would not be fulfilled. Between thirty to forty bodies of men who appeared to be Asian were discovered in Tabqa, which is near Raqqa recently. According to the activist group Raqqa Is Being Slaughtered Silently, the Islamic State killed them men because they tried to escape.
In February, two Egyptians overseeing Syria's Deir Ezzour province for Islamic State fled with thousands of dollars of the group's funds, including profit from al Omar oil field, the country's largest, said residents of the province. The head of Islamic State's religious police in the eastern Syrian city of Raqqa, the group's de facto capital, stole thousands of dollars from the organization's coffers before fleeing to Turkey in January, said area residents. Mr. [Hassan] Hassan, the analyst, said he also had evidence of growing graft within the group.
The Islamic State still controls Raqqa and Mosul. Over the weekend, the militants managed to loot and destroy three historic cities in Iraq and Syria with minimal backlash from the international community. But if the group continues to drag people with minimal abilities, they might not last that long.

         }
      ]
   ],
   "code":500
}

What should I do to remove duplicates and get field like fStudentConfirm

A: These field names are not equal. There is a difference: fteacherConfirm and fTeacherConfirm. Probably, you are using Lambok which generates for you getters and setters. In this specific scenario where field names has one strange letter f Lambok probably creates is-method like below:
public boolean isFstudentRequest() {
    return fStudentRequest;
}

Now, Jackson sees that you have annotation over property and other is-method which has other name it generate two similar (not equal) properties in JSON.
Solutions:

*

*Remove that f at the beginning or add whole word which starts from f.

*Remove Lambok and generate is-method manually where you have total control on the generated name.

*Disable is-methods in Jackson like below:

ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
mapper.setVisibility(PropertyAccessor.FIELD, JsonAutoDetect.Visibility.ANY);
mapper.setVisibility(PropertyAccessor.IS_GETTER, JsonAutoDetect.Visibility.NONE);

*

*how to specify jackson to only use fields - preferably globally

A: I was facing similar issue in Spring boot
what i did was added @JsonProperty to each getters and setters. It might be a workaround. I tried playing with spring "spring.jackson.mapper" but it didn't help.
private String Name;
@JsonProperty("Name")
public Name getName() {
    return Name;
}
@JsonProperty("Name")
public void setName(Name name) {
    Name = name;
}

A: Ignore the property name generated by lombok getter:
@Entity
@JsonIgnoreProperties(ignoreUnknown = true, value={"fstudentRequest", "fstudentConfirm"})
@Table(name = "Sheduler")
public @Data class Lesson {
    // ...
}

We need a government that will leave fossil fuels behind
Apr 13, 2019 12:00 AM by: Letter to the Editor
Following in his father's footsteps, my dad began working in underground coal mines in the St. Albert area while still in his teens.
It's hard to imagine today, but a little more than a generation ago, coal purchased from area mines was still in general use for cooking and heating in area homes. A return to the good old days has some appeal, but I'm not sure about starting a fire in a cold stove to make my morning coffee.
For me, it is also hard to imagine that a generation from now we will still be burning fossil fuels to run our homes and economy.
It is beyond clear that emissions from burning fossil fuels increase the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, which in turn increases the greenhouse effect and raises average global temperatures. This change to our climate is altering precipitation patterns, influencing the occurrence of extreme weather events, and contributing to sea level rise.
Further, whether or not we as Albertans unilaterally decide to reduce our production and use of fossil fuels, there are plenty of market signals indicating that change is coming, if it's not already here. These signals range from the fight over pipelines, to the rapidly falling prices for renewable energy, to countries such as Britain, France and India implementing policies to eventually completely remove gasoline and diesel vehicles from their roads.
The status quo is not an option.
Unfortunately, the NDP and UCP are both doubling down on pipelines and subsidies from the oil and gas industry.
We need a government that is focused on a managed transition away from fossil fuels, including providing support for the just transition of workers to new careers. The energy transition does not have to happen overnight; however, the scientific community is clear that it must be a priority that makes significant progress before 2030. Embarking on this transition now has the added benefit of offering some certainty for industry, consumers and the community.
Working in area coal mines was a hard job, but an honest one that provided money for raising families and growing the community. But those jobs are long gone. My dad left coal mining for a new career in his 20s before he was forced to. Will we leave our overreliance on fossil fuels before we're forced to?

Watch Democracy Now! 3-Hour People's Climate March Special
The world-renowned musician and activist Sting stops by our three-hour special from the People's Climate March to talk about why he is marching with indigenous activists on the front lines of the environmental movement. "The indigenous peoples' message has been consistent from the beginning: We are in danger," Sting says. "These people are not complacent, I am not complacent. We have to do something."
StoryMar 28, 2017Rebecca Solnit on Climate Change, Resistance, Misogyny and "The Mother of All Questions"
This is a rush transcript. Copy may not be in its final form.
AMY GOODMAN: We turn right now, on the corner of Central Park West, to Sting. That's right, the musician Sting. Hi, Sting. It's great to see you.
STING: Hello, my darling. How are you? Nice to be here.
AMY GOODMAN: So, what are you doing here?
STING: Well, I'm with the indigenous group here, you know, and they've always been at the forefront of this struggle, and I think it's right that they're at the front of it. Their message has always been the same: The planet's in danger, and you better wise up. And you know there's a very, very well-financed, well-organized campaign to sow complacency about climate change, at the behest of oil companies and its propaganda. These people aren't complacent. I'm not complacent. We have to do something. Today is the day.
AMY GOODMAN: And why march with indigenous people? Talk about your involvement. People certainly know you as a musician, but you're also a major global environmental activist.
STING: Well, you know, the indigenous peoples' message has been consistent from the beginning of this thing, and they're saying, "We're in danger." And what endangers them in their homelands endangers us here in New York City. It's the same planet. It's a consistent and very simple message, and that's why I'm with them today.
AMY GOODMAN: You spend time with world leaders who are in awe of you. What do you tell them?
STING: I don't think they're—
AMY GOODMAN: Or who have rocked out to you. What do you tell them?
STING: Only what I'm telling you now: Listen to the people who know, which is the indigenous community here.
AMY GOODMAN: Do you think President Obama is doing enough?
STING: No, I don't think anybody's doing enough, frankly. I think, you know, we need to really pool our resources to make sustainable energy a reality. You know, the world is full of energy. We have solar power, wind. We can do more than just dig oil out of the ground and destroy the climate.
AMY GOODMAN: Britain? Your home country, Britain?
STING: No, none of us are doing enough. None of us are doing enough. But we need government to step up to the plate.
AMY GOODMAN: There's a U.N. climate summit on Tuesday. Your thoughts about that? There's concern about the level of corporate involvement.
STING: Yeah, well, a lot of corporations will pretend they're trying to save the planet, and they're doing the opposite. So, I have no patience with that kind of whitewash. But we've got to be careful.
AMY GOODMAN: There is an interesting irony here, as the gathering is here at Columbus Circle and it's the indigenous people of the world who are leading this march and will be passing the Christopher Columbus statue. We're joined right now by Sonia Guiñansaca of CultureStrike. Did I pronounce your name correctly?
SONIA GUIÑANSACA: Yes, Sonia Guiñansaca.
AMY GOODMAN: So, Sonia Guiñansaca, you're wearing a T-shirt that says, "Undocumented, Unafraid, Unapologetic." That is really the motto of the DREAMer and immigrants' rights movement. How does that relate to climate change?
SONIA GUIÑANSACA: Yeah, so, I'm actually here with CultureStrike, and we're a national network of artists, musicians, that focus on migrant justice. And so, one of the things that we wanted to showcase is that climate change affects, you know, front-line folks like migrant communities, where there's a forced migration happening. And so, we want to acknowledge that, but also say, you know, we're here, we're unafraid, we're here also to fight for Mother Earth.
AMY GOODMAN: We are standing in front of a large group of people who are holding signs in the shape of life preservers. And we're going to see if right now we can get someone to come over. Excuse me, can you come over? Can someone come over and talk about why you're here? Can someone come over and talk about why you're here? OK. Here we have a woman. It says "Redfern Houses." Where are the Redfern Houses? But first, start off by saying your name.
KIMBERLY COLLINS: Hello. My name is Kimberly Collins [phon.]. I live in Redfern Houses in Far Rockaway, Queens. It's a NYCHA development. And we didn't get that much of an impact as down the beach in Far Rockaway, but we're here for everyone that suffered in Sandy.
AMY GOODMAN: What does climate change mean to you?
KIMBERLY COLLINS: The climate change means to me, my grandchildren may have to—may not have the same things I was able and took advantage of. And they might have to come outside in masks and things like that, come 25, 30, 50 years. So I'm out here so my grandchildren and everybody else's grandchildren can live a good life and breathe good air and have lakes and all that good stuff.
AMY GOODMAN: Thank you very much. Dr. Steffie Woolhandler, what's a doctor like you doing in the streets of New York?
DR. STEFFIE WOOLHANDLER: Well, there's several hundred doctors in the physicians' contingent, medical students, as well. And we're here because this is a—global warming is a health crisis. We're seeing—we saw tens of thousands of deaths from cholera related to algae blooms. We've seen the mosquitoes that carry malaria and dengue fever moving north and moving to higher elevations. We saw a thousand people die in New Orleans because of a hurricane. There's no way the healthcare system can deal with this problem alone. We need to be working to stop global warming now.
