Trough (meteorology)
Representation of alternating troughs and ridges in upper-level westerlies for the Northern Hemisphere, with regions of convergence and divergence labeled.
A trough is an elongated (extended) region of relatively low atmospheric pressure, often associated with fronts.[1] Troughs may be at the surface, or aloft, or both under various conditions. Most troughs bring clouds, showers, and a wind shift, particularly following the passage of the trough. This results from convergence or "squeezing" which forces lifting of moist air behind the trough line.
Unlike fronts, there is not a universal symbol for a trough on a weather chart. The weather charts in some countries or regions mark troughs by a line. In the United States, a trough may be marked as a dashed line or bold line. In the UK, Hong Kong[2] and Fiji,[3] it is represented by a bold line extended from a low pressure center[4] or between two low pressure centers;[5] in Macau[6] and Australia,[7] it is a dashed line. If they are not marked, troughs may still be identified as an extension of isobars away from a low pressure center.

A very large trough (about 8000 km or more) crosses the North Atlantic Ocean from north east to south west. The elongated cloud is surrounded by two big areas of higher atmospheric pressure, clearly shown with no clouds at all.
A trough is not in a general term a boundary but an elongated area of lower air pressure. There are changes in wind direction across a trough but there is no change in air mass. While not specifically a surface boundary, troughs reflect the change in atmospheric conditions in the upper atmosphere. As such, troughs can be areas where showers and thunderstorms can form.
If a trough forms in the mid-latitudes, a temperature difference at some distance between the two sides of the trough usually exists and the trough might become a weather front at some point. However such a weather front is usually less convective than a trough in the tropics or subtropics (such as a tropical wave). Inversely, sometimes collapsed frontal systems will degenerate into troughs.
Sometimes the region between two high pressure centers may also assume the character of a trough when there is a detectable wind shift noted at the surface. In the absence of a wind shift, the region is designated a col, akin to a geographic saddle between two mountain peaks.
Formation[edit]
A trough is the result of the movements of the air in the atmosphere. In regions where there is upward movement near the ground and divergence at altitude, there is a loss of mass. The pressure becomes lower at this point.
At upper level of the atmosphere, this occurs when there is a meeting of a mass of cold air and another hot one along a thin ribbon called a frontal baroclinic zone. We then have the creation of a jet stream that plunges the cold air towards the equator and hot air towards the poles, creating a ripple in the circulation that is called a Rossby wave[8]. These undulations give the hollows and peaks of altitude. In general, absolute vorticity advection is positive between these two features, but closer to the ridge, whereas it is negative just behind a trough.
At the surface, lifting air under positive vorticity advection is reflected by the formation of depressions and troughs. There will therefore be a slope between the barometric high altitude and that on the ground, this slope going towards the mass of cold air at high altitude (generally towards the Pole).
Positively/negatively tilted[edit]
Troughs have an orientation relative to the poles which is rarely North-South. In the Northern Hemisphere, positively tilted troughs will extend from the lowest pressure northeast to southwest while negatively tilted troughs have a northwest to southeast orientation[9]. In the Southern Hemisphere, the positive tilt will be southeast to northwest and the negative one southwest to northeast.
A trough will usually begin with a positive tilt as cold air moves toward the Equator[9]. The trough will become neutral (North-South) and then negatively tilted as the energy carried by the cold air races east though the atmospheric circulation and distorts its shape[9]. The positive tilt is thus the building phase of the trough and the negative tilt is the dissipation of its energy. Therefore, the clouds and precipitation will develop in the positive phase and the most severe weather will be in the negative phase[9].
Types of trough[edit]
In addition to standard troughs, some may be described further with a qualifying term indicating a specific or a set of characteristics.
Inverted trough[edit]
An inverted trough is an atmospheric trough which is oriented opposite to most troughs of the mid-latitudes. Most (but not all) inverted troughs are tropical waves (also commonly called easterly waves).
Most troughs of low pressure in the mid-latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere are characterized by decreasing atmospheric pressure from south to north while inverted troughs are characterized by decreasing pressure from north to south. The situation is opposite in the Southern Hemisphere. Inverted troughs in both hemispheres move to the west from the east, while mid-latitude troughs generally move with the westerlies toward the east.
Lee trough[edit]
A lee trough, also known as a dynamic trough, is "A pressure trough formed on the lee side of a mountain range in situations where the wind is blowing with a substantial component across the mountain ridge; often seen on United States weather maps east of the Rocky Mountains, and sometimes east of the Appalachians, where it is less pronounced."[10] It can be formed either as a result of the adiabatic compression of sinking air on the lee side of a mountain range, or through cyclogenesis resulting from "the horizontal convergence associated with vertical stretching of air columns passing over the ridge and descending the lee slope."[10][11]
Weather associated[edit]
Convective cells may develop in the vicinity of troughs and give birth to a tropical cyclone. Some tropical or subtropical regions such as the Philippines or south China are greatly affected by convection cells along a trough.
In the mid-latitude westerlies, upper level troughs and ridges often alternate in a high-amplitude pattern. For a trough in the westerlies, the region just west of the trough axis is typically an area of convergent winds and descending air – and hence high pressure –, while the region just east of the trough axis is an area of fast, divergent winds and low pressure. Tropical waves are a type of trough in easterly currents, a cyclonic northward deflection of the trade winds.

Kerley-Linien sind zarte Linien auf dem Röntgenbild der Lunge. Sie weisen auf pathologisch verbreiterte Alveolarsepten und Lymphgefäße der Lunge hin, am häufigsten verursacht durch eine Herzinsuffizienz. Auch Pneumonien, Lungenfibrose und eine diffuse Absiedlung von Tumorzellen in der Lunge (Lymphangiosis carcinomatosa) können zu sichtbaren Kerley-Linien führen.

Unterschieden wird zwischen feinen, langen Kerley-A-Linien eher in den oberen Lungenabschnitten und kurzen, waagerechten Kerley-B-Linien, die in den unteren Lungenabschnitten nahe der Thoraxwand im so genannten costophrenischen Winkel verlaufen (vorwiegend rechtsseitig). Kerley-C-Linien sind spinnwebenartige Linien über der gesamten Lunge.

Die Linien wurden von Peter Kerley beschrieben.

Q: How do expected values of observables depend on the current state? I'm currently looking into quantum computing following the book The Nature of Computation. On pages 835/836 they define observables and the expected value of an observable corresponding to a hermitian linear operator $M$. If I'm reading this right, they're defining it as
$$
\mathbb{E}[M] = \langle v|M|v \rangle.
$$
What strikes me as odd is that the state of the system $v$ shows up on the right side but not on the left. Different states should yield different expected values, yet the left side doesn't convey that at all.
Furthermore, later on the page there's the claim that
$$
\mathbb{E}[Z_A M_B] = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}.
$$
Where $Z_A M_B$ is some operator. Yet if I use the right hand side from earlier and choose different values of $v$ I can get pretty much any value I like for this expected value. What am I misunderstanding?
(Note: I'm not that experienced in physics and am currently only beginning to understand the finite dimensional setting required for quantum computing.)

A: What the notaton $\mathbb{E}[M]$ means here is "expectation value of the operator $M$ in the state $|\nu\rangle$". You could write the state as an index on the left, like $\mathbb{E}[M]_\nu$, but this is tedious and in most cases unnecessary, as it is clear from the context which state we mean.
As for your second equation, I don't have this book, but I'm sure they also mean the expectation value in some previously defined state.

I suspect I could offer someone else's opinion, then. There's no shortage of those.
I've just come to accept that we live in a time when people want their games to be played by other people for them. Boss fight videos, etc.
Leave it to LoTRO players to fail to answer a simple question and go all opinion on everything, damn hippies.
You have to appreciate his pursuit of the facts. This is clearly not a subjective topic. There is a provably correct answer out there. Joe Friday would be proud.
It is a too serious a question to bother with excessive letters such as the E on the end of please. Need to save charachters for a few extra !!!
I was there, posting on the same thread. Ah, memories.
I want the facts, and nothing but the facts. Show me the spreadsheets that say I will be the best.
I've played games where those spreadsheets existed. You had to re-do them between patches to find the new flavor of the month.
At the Elements online card game, there are data-gathering exercises every quarter or so to determine which decks have the fastest cash gain and the best win ratios against the highest level PvE opponents.
Can anyone lend me a few gold?
Can someone please lend a new player some gold?
It is just a few gold come on!


I don't let my daughter watch awards shows. She's 8 going on 9 years old.
Last night, I was stuck doing her hair and I had to make the choice to turn the channel or to watch the opening act which was Beyonce and Jay-Z.
As a Mom in this day and age where commercials are overly sexualized and every where you turn you're covering your childs eyes and ears to keep them innocent and pure.
With that being said, I guess I should throw my two cents into the mix as well.
There was absolutely nothing wrong with Beyonce's performance in my opinion. I covered my daughter's eyes once when I thought Beyonce would turn up, but she didn't, and if she did, the camera cut to the audience. I covered her ears when Jay-Z said "her breastesses (how does one spell that? lol) are my breakfast" but that's it. Mind you if my daughter does hear this song, it's not from me or her father. I am very mindful of what plays in her presence when I can control that. That's a whole nother post so I won't even get on that soap box.
For the song choice which is about sexing her husband, I thought the performace was very tame and tasteful. And as someone who wanted to see it, I wasn't offended or put off in any manner.
Beyonce wasn't gyrating, twerking and making pseudo love on stage. She was mostly in her chair hanging over it, but never to me in an overtly sexual way.
I would much rather see Beyonce performing on stage with her man, whom she married, singing a song about what married folks do than to watch bony Miley Cyrus gyrate and try to twerk on a married man that is not hers.
Beyonce's performance held my attention the entire time. Not in distaste. Not in disgust. But in awe because she's Bey and I've loved her since the very beginning. I don't always agree with her and we're not even gonna have that convo. But Beyonce is the Queen. She's not a wannabe, she's not trying to make a name for herself, she already has one. Nothing short of amazing if you ask me. And if you don't ask me, I'm telling you anyway.
What did you think about Beyonce's performance??

Cuerpos Pintados is a unique project that marries the concerns of painting, performance art, documentation and photography. In the last 25 years more than 100 painters and countless models have participated in a rich interactive dialog exploring the potential of the body as both a landscape and a three dimensional canvas. The preliminary 45 painters were from Chile, as the studio is located in Santiago; however, soon painters from all over South America, Europe and the United States wanted an opportunity to work collaboratively at Taller Cuerpos Pintados. Roberto Edwards's photographs have been exhibited in over 40 museums throughout the world and have intrigued, fascinated, and amazed viewers. His photographs are accurate records of an organic project that has endless variations and morphs into an amazingly productive exploration of the expressive power of the body. To his surprise, art lovers young and old were thrilled and challenged by this visionary project.
Watching Roberto Edwards photograph is like watching a drama unfold, but one that has no linear narrative. Initially the actions are directed by Roberto, but invariably the models start to move and strike a myriad of poses on their own which derive from an almost dance - like ritual. When Roberto photographs he never corrects or changes the original painting, but uses tools like cropping, changing focus, and compressing space through depth of field and f-stop selection. He also has the cinematic equivalents of long shot, medium shot, and close up at his disposal. Sometimes he builds images through multiple exposures and montaging. Under the heat of the lights of the studio, the movements of the models activates their skin and the paint starts change as their bodies starts to absorb pigment. The paint smudges and the borders blend as the body sweats. All of this is recorded as another variable in the process of documenting the performance of the model.
Roberto Edwards born in 1937 is a Chilean photographer and entrepreneur. After partial studies of architecture, economics, and film, he began in the publishing business, producing numerous books and magazines. During the 1980s, he began Cuerpos Pintados and in 1991, the project was presented for the first time, with Edwards's photographs of the nude bodies painted by 45 Chilean artists. The resulting exhibition traveled to thirty-two museums in Latin America and Europe. In 2003, he presented a new version of Cuerpos Pintados. This time, more than one hundred visual artists, mainly from Latin America, participated in the project, as well as musicians who composed their scores with body sounds and photographers who documented the body in a wide variety of traditional cultures. Through Fundación América, which he presides, Edwards has also supported the development of activities dedicated to social integration though the arts, such as the IntegrArte program, which in 2002 produced an exhibition called Pa' que veái, with paintings, sculptures and photographs produced by the blind. Recently, he is mainly focused on Fundación América's activities, curating exhibitions, and book printing.

Five Thoughts: Toronto Raptors vs. Philadelphia 76ers
The Philadelphia 76ers have taken a 2-1 series lead over the Toronto Raptors, winning back-to-back games after losing the series opener north of the border.
Both teams face serious consequences pending the outcome of this Eastern Conference Semifinal; should the Raptors get bounced, they are likely to lose Kawhi Leonard in free agency, and possibly suffer a domino-effect that triggers a serious roster tear-down.
If the Sixers lose, they will find it extremely difficult to justify paying through the nose to keep this band together, with 60% of their pricey starting quintet (specifically JJ Redick, Jimmy Butler, and Tobias Harris) eligible to depart via free agency this summer. This series could very well shift the balance of power across the NBA landscape, as the eventual loser is likely to relinquish star power that will undoubtedly be sought after by the rest of the league.
So without further ado, here are my five thoughts on the series after three games:
These teams should push each other to their absolute limits. I have this series pegged as a 7-gamer, justifiably going the distance as these two Finals contenders make a serious run at each other. Both teams possess rosters that rank among the absolute best of their respective franchise histories, and are producing a playoff series that is all-at-once engaging, frustrating, and genuinely meaningful. NBA fans deserve an Eastern Conference Semifinal with this much juicy drama and longevity, especially since the past few years have mostly been a wash from the East's perspective (essentially a year-over-year question of "who wants the honour of getting blown out by the Warriors in the Finals?"). If this series between true NBA heavyweights doesn't go the full seven games, fans will be missing out on some seriously enjoyable playoff basketball.
This series will make a significant contribution to the "star-power vs. rotational depth" playoff debate. While not as much of a debate as you might think (hint: star power usually wins out), there are still advocates of high-end roster depth among us NBA fans that espouse the values of rotating frequently and sending mixed looks at one's opponent over the course of a seven game series. This series will go a long way in either solidifying popular logic (should the Sixers and their front-loaded roster win) or supplying evidence to the contrary (should the Raptors and their well-balanced roster prevail).
Seeing as Toronto's bench has mostly failed to live up to expectations, the Raptors will have to turn things around quickly if they want to leverage their depth into performances that support their roster-construction choices. While Sixers GM Elton Brand was chastised by many across the league for emptying his bench to acquire star players, it may in fact pay off in astounding fashion during this playoff run.
Joel Embiid and Kawhi Leonard are battling it out for the honor of series MVP. This may not be much of a surprise, as these two players are borderline-unanimously ranked top-10 league wide, top-3 at their respective positions, and are undoubtedly the choice representative from either franchise for this prestigious-yet-totally-made-up honour. Over the course of three games, Embiid has averaged 20.3 points, 8.0 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 2.0 blocks in 30.0 minutes. He's shooting 40% from deep, forcing the Raptors to respect his outside shooting and step outside the paint – exactly where Embiid wants them. While Toronto did a respectable job of shackling Embiid in Games 1 and 2, his dominance in Game 3 might be a sign of things to come, and that could spell trouble for Toronto; unless Kawhi Leonard has something to say on the matter. The Klaw is Toronto's only player capable of matching Embiid's on-court impact, and he has been playing out of his mind for the Raptors so far; he's averaging 37.7 points, 7.3 rebounds, and 3.7 assists on absurdly accurate shooting splits of 61/38/91 (FG%/3PT%/FT%). Watching these two MVP-caliber players go head-to-head for a shot at the Eastern Conference Finals has to be considered one of the greatest gifts given to viewers in the 2018-2019 playoffs.
Toronto's organizational playoff culture and history continue to play a factor, despite statements to the contrary. Kyle Lowry and Fred VanVleet, Toronto's primary orchestrators and key holdovers from playoffs past, are failing to show up when the franchise needs them most. Lowry, in particular, is being handsomely compensated (to the tune of $30 million+ per year) and simply cannot justify the performances he's turned in as of late. He knows this, of course, as NBA players are keenly aware of public perception and have easy access to box scores, coaching advice, and all the myriad sources that can be used to tell a player exactly how hard they are screwing the pooch. Despite his statements to the media that he has to be better and support Kawhi, it just seems that Lowry isn't cut from the same cloth in terms of playoff performance. Whether his struggles are mental or physical, Lowry is struggling to be even a third option offensively behind Leonard and Siakam; this is unacceptable. If the Raptors want to change their organizational culture (assuming they get bounced early this year), they will have to start by shipping out Lowry, who is the remaining half of Toronto's legendarily poor playoff duo (the other was sent to San Antonio, where he performed admirably and without the tendency to disappear that plagued his Toronto tenure). After Game 3, the Raptors (and Kawhi himself) seemed deflated and again on the path to forming a self-defeating mentality - they will have to turn things around, and quickly, in order to right the ship and work toward disproving this widely-held belief.
Nick Nurse will have to make up considerable ground in the coaching battle versus Brett Brown. Over the course of three games, Brett Brown has thoroughly out-coached Nick Nurse, plain and simple. Despite obvious struggles on the part of the Raptors' guard rotation and bench, Nurse continues to trot out lineups featuring all three of Lowry, VanVleet, and Powell. He refused to match Gasol's minutes to Embiid's, despite Jojo taking Ibaka to town on every possession down the floor. His poor minutes-management and rotation staggering led to an epic bench collapse in Game 3, where Toronto was unable to compete in minutes where Leonard wasn't carrying the 58-win roster. Nurse continues to experiment in an extremely high-pressure environment, and now his ability to galvanize a clearly shell-shocked team in Game 4 will be tested. Brown has shrunk his rotation, staggered his stars, and maximized Embiid's time on the floor after making adjustments from Game 1. If Nick Nurse cannot react with adequate composure and tact, Brett Brown may be the coaching matchup that sinks this talented Raptor's roster (and jeopardizes the security of Nurse's new job).

Potential culprit found in vaping-related lung injuries and deaths
CDC describes 'breakthrough' in finding vitamin E acetate in lung fluids of patients who vaped THC products
Lena H. Sun
National reporter focusing on health
November 8, 2019 at 5:16 PM EST
Federal health officials have identified vitamin E acetate in the lung fluids of 29 people sickened in the outbreak of dangerous vaping-related lung injuries. The discovery is a "breakthrough" that points to the oil as a likely culprit in the outbreak that has sickened more than 2,000 people and killed at least 39, a top official said Friday.
"These findings provide direct evidence of vitamin E acetate at the primary site of injury within the lungs," said Anne Schuchat, principal deputy director at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The latest information points to growing evidence of vitamin E acetate as "a very strong culprit of concern," she said in a briefing with reporters.
The findings announced Friday do not rule out other possible compounds or ingredients that may be causing the lung injuries. But Schuchat described the lab results as a "breakthrough" in the investigation. The CDC tested for a wide range of substances that might be found in patients' lung fluids, including plant oils and petroleum distillates, such as mineral oil.
But what they did not find was just as important. "No other potential toxins were detected," Schuchat said.
CDC officials found vitamin E acetate, an oil derived from the vitamin, in all 29 samples of lung fluid collected from patients who had fallen ill or died of lung injuries. THC, the psychoactive ingredient in marijuana, was also found in 23 patients, including three who said they had not used THC products. Nicotine was detected in 16 of 26 patients. Most patients who have fallen ill in the outbreak have vaped THC, officials have said.
Vitamin E acetate has already been identified in previous testing by the Food and Drug Administration and state laboratories in vape products that contain THC. New York state's Wadsworth Center lab was the first to discover it about two months ago in samples from sick patients. Of 595 vaping-product samples linked to patients that have been tested by the FDA, 70 percent contained THC. Half of those THC-containing products also had vitamin E acetate, with concentrations as high as 88 percent, the FDA said Friday.
Many of the THC-containing products were obtained on the illicit market, officials have said. Vitamin E acetate has been used in recent months as a cutting agent or additive on the cannabis black market to stretch the amount of THC in vape cartridges, officials and industry experts have said. Vitamin E acetate is a popular additive because it is colorless and odorless, has similar viscosity to THC oil and is much cheaper.
The findings are significant because for the first time, scientists have been able to connect results from product testing with clinical specimens from patients, Schuchat said. The 29 patients are from 10 states, representing a diverse geographical area, making the findings "much more robust" than if all the patients were from a single location. Most of the patients were male, with a median age of 23. Two of the patients died.
The findings "help us better understand the potential compounds" that may contribute to the injuries, Schuchat said. "They tell us what entered the lungs of some of these patients."
Vitamin E acetate is found in many foods and in cosmetics, especially skin-care products. It is not known to cause harm when swallowed or applied to the skin, Schuchat said. But when it is heated and inhaled, it may interfere with normal lung function. Its properties could be associated with the kinds of respiratory symptoms that many patients have reported — cough, shortness of breath and chest pain, officials and experts have said.
Public health experts welcomed the news but cautioned that more testing needs to be completed. "While this is a big step in helping us understand what may be causing these injuries, these findings do not rule out the potential for other compounds or ingredients as contributing factors," said Scott Becker, executive director of the Association of Public Health Laboratories. "There may be more than one cause of the outbreak."
The findings, detailed in a CDC report released Friday, also reinforced official health warnings against using e-cigarette or vaping products that contain THC, especially those bought off the street.
The CDC is maintaining its recommendation that consumers consider refraining from using all vaping and e-cigarette products, including those containing nicotine. That is because a small proportion of patients continue to report exclusive use of nicotine-containing products, Schuchat said.
Chemistry professor Michelle Francl has described vitamin E acetate as basically grease. Its molecular structure means that "you have to heat it up pretty hot" for it to vaporize, said Francl, a professor at Bryn Mawr College. The substance's boiling point is 363 degrees Fahrenheit, which is well above the 212-degree boiling point for water.
Once the oil is heated enough to vaporize, it can potentially decompose, and "now you're breathing in who knows what," Francl has said.
But officials still need to test for the substance in other people who vaped and who did not experience these injuries, Schuchat said. Officials also want to test a broader number of lung fluid samples from patients in different locations, she said.
Animal studies also need to be undertaken to better understand how vitamin E acetate might cause the harm in lungs, she said.
For the lung-fluid testing, CDC scientists had drawn up a priority list of chemicals that had the potential to be toxins. They included vitamin E acetate; plant oils; petroleum-based oils such as mineral oil; and terpenes, organic compounds that give fragrant aromas to plants and flowers, said Jim Pirkle, director of the laboratory science division at the CDC's National Center for Environmental Health. Pirkle is overseeing much of the CDC's outbreak-related lab testing.
"We haven't found any of those," except for vitamin E acetate, Pirkle said. Scientists are no longer focusing on the other potential toxins, he said, but the samples account for only a small portion of the number of people sickened, and more testing will continue.
Finding vitamin E acetate in 29 out of 29 samples of lung fluid is "a very strong signal," he said in a later interview, adding that it is "pretty much unheard of."
Vitamin E acetate is a sticky substance, like honey, Pirkle said. "When it goes into the lung," he said, "it does hang around." The oil can disrupt the natural ability of the lungs to stay inflated, officials said.
THC, on the other hand, "is not something you would expect to be hanging around in the lung fluid," Pirkle said. It is more likely to be found in urine, he said. That could account for why it was not found in some samples. It's also possible that the vitamin E acetate was part of a different kind of vaping liquid, officials said.
Some patients with vaping-related lung injuries are being hospitalized a second time
Most people who died from vaping used THC-containing products
He went from hiking enthusiast to 'on death's door' within days. Doctors blamed vaping.

Q: Need to run Playwright Sync API inside Asyncio Loop I am currently working on creating a Discord Bot using the Discord.py library. One of the tasks the bot has is to use other APIs to check for the latest Youtube Video, TikTok, etc. For parsing through the Tiktok content I am using the TikTokApi. I have a scheduled task in my discord bot client that is going to run every 5 minutes:
def check_toks():
es_link = tktok.Tktok_catcher("ES")
en_link = tktok.Tktok_catcher("US")
print(es_link, en_link)

@tasks.loop(minutes=5)
async def check_platforms():
    es_link = tktok.Tktok_catcher("ES")

Running the following code gives me the following error:
playwright._impl._api_types.Error: It looks like you are using Playwright Sync API inside the asyncio loop.
Please use the Async API instead.

Is there a workaround for this problem (a way to run the playwright sync API inside the Asyncio loop) or is there something I need to change in the library that I am using to get it to work?

Offence of Defamation on Internet
Section 499 of Indian Penal Code, 1860 defines the offence of defamation, it may be committed by two ways firstly by speech and secondly by writing. The English law defines former as Slander and the latter as Libel. There are four essentials of offence of defamation which are as follows;
- There must be defamatory statement.
- That statement must be understood by reasonable persons.
- There must be a publication of such defamatory statements.
- That publication must be in circulation.[1]
The Supreme Court held that the constitutional validity of criminal defamation law, saying the right to freedom of speech is not an absolute right. This means individuals and media organizations, including social media platforms, can be prosecuted for defaming someone[2].
Defamation on Internet:
When a publication is made on internet, anybody at remote place in the country, at the stroke of his button, may come across the statement and form opinion against the person for whom such statements are made[3], thus constitutes the offence of defamation punishable under section 500 of the IPC, 1860.
The most important difficulty which the law is facing over the Globe is where to file a complaint for the offence of defamation committed on internet as the circulation of such offence is in more than one jurisdiction. Thus to solve this ambiguity the Hon'ble Court held that the defamatory act's consequences ensue the places of circulation and hence a prosecution for such statement, if defamatory, can be launched in the Courts exercising its jurisdiction over any one place wherein such circulation is made.[4] Therefore, if the publication of defamatory statements is made on internet and the Court on whose jurisdiction such circulation is made and also having the consequences than the Court on whose jurisdiction such consequences has taken place will have the jurisdiction to try the offence.
Internet is a wider platform which provides people with the opportunity to express their views and opinions. But the people are using this as opportunity to disrepute someone and misusing the fundamental right of speech and expression. But the Supreme Court has finally decided in the case of Subramanian Swamy v. Union of India[5] the Hon'ble Court held that Section 499 and 500 of IPC cannot to be alleged to be meant to subserve rights inter se of private individuals only and not any public interest or purpose. Defamation under Sec. 499 and 500 of IPC is a crime against the society as it affects the social order and there is nothing in Section 499 and 500 which is inconsistent with any of the provisions of Constitution.

Prince Harry Leaks Sad Kate Middleton Text Messages
by Bishal Roy
in Entertainment, News
Prince Harry has revealed Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton's texts about the infamous bridesmaid dresses for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's 2018 wedding.
Prince Harry outlines the incident
In his new memoir, Spare, which was released on 10 January, Harry recalled how Meghan received a text from Kate about the dresses needing to be altered. He claimed that when Meghan responded, she told Kate that their tailor, Ajay, would be making his way to Kensington Palace. However, he claimed that this response "wasn't sufficient," before sharing the alleged text conversation between the two women.
In the pages of his book, Harry addresses what went down (after Meghan discussed it with Oprah Winfrey in 2021).
Tabloids reported in fall 2018 that Meghan Markle made Kate cry surrounding the wedding. Meghan told Oprah that wasn't true; it was, in fact, the other way around. (Harry writes, "As long as I live I'll never forget the tone of her voice as she looked me in the eye and said: Haz, I made her cry? I made HER cry?")
But, Meghan declined to go into further detail, telling Oprah, "I don't think it's fair to her to get into the details, because she apologized. And I've forgiven her. What was hard to get over was being blamed for something that not only I didn't do, but that happened to me. And the people who were part of our wedding going to our comms team and saying, 'I know this didn't happen.'"
Harry does not have the same restraint of his wife. Rather, he goes all in on the details of Meghan and Kate's fight—even sharing the texts exchanged between the royal women.
"Charlotte's dress is too big, too long, too baggy. She cried when she tried it on at home," Kate allegedly texted Meghan. Meghan replied, "Right and I told you the tailor has been standing by since eight a.m. Here. At KP. Can you take Charlotte to have it altered, as all the other moms are doing?" To which Kate supposedly replied, "No, all the dresses need to be remade."
Harry then takes it out of quotes (in Spare, quotes are in italics), and narrates, "Her own wedding dress designer agreed, Kate added. Meg asked if Kate was aware of what was going on right now. With her father. Kate said she was well aware, but the dresses." He continued, "And Kate had other problems with the way Meg was planning her wedding. Something about a party for the page boys?…It went back and forth… A short time later I arrived home and found Meg on the floor. Sobbing."

SportsFootball2016 season outlook for USM football
2016 season outlook for USM football
By Andrew Abadie
It is no secret that a question mark hangs over next season for Southern Miss football. Coach Jay Hopson showed promise in his first season, but has many things he must improve on.
Although this past year had some success, it could still be considered a letdown. The majority of the 2015 team returned and seemed to be primed to pick up where they left off. Hopson's program was primed for a winning season, but took the team to a limping finish of 6 – 6.
The Golden Eagles will not only have to replace one of the best quarterbacks in school history, but many key starters on both sides of the ball.
The first thing to watch in the upcoming offseason will be the quarterback battle between Parker Adamson and Keon Howard, who was forced to burn his redshirt this past season. Despite being on the team for several seasons, Adamson has seen very little play time. Adamson could be a solid quarterback but he remains an overall mystery. Howard, on the other hand, shows much potential and brings a different dynamic to the team through his legs. If Howard can protect the ball, he should get the job.
The offense itself may need to change its dynamic and become more of a running team. The return of running backs George Payne, and Ito Smith may make the run-game the backbone of the play calling. If Howard does earn the starting the job, the team will surely be a run first team. The majority of the offensive line will return with many having experience from this past season.
The receiving corps will lose leader D.J. Thompson, but the emergence of Chase Whitehead, Korey Robertson and Allenzae Staggers will keep them solid. The receiving corps can also turn to Julian Allen and Isaiah Thomas, who are talented playmakers adding to the arsenal of returning weapons on offense.
Defense is a different story since many key playmakers will be gone.
Senior defensive lineman Dylan Bradley will be the biggest loss. Bradley's presence will be missed as he was second on the team with 59 tackles, 7 sacks and 14 tackles for loss. Safety D'Nerius Antoine will be another major loss as he led the team in tackles with 82.
However, ball-hawking junior Picasso Nelson Jr. and junior bulldozer Xavier Thigpen will return and have to become the leaders of the secondary and defensive line.
The team next season will have many returning starters but will lose major impact players in key positions on both sides of the ball. Whether Hopson has players that are ready to fill those positions is unknown. A strong recruiting class may be needed to help the team find more success.
The Golden Eagles may have a rough start next season since they will have to play Tennessee early. Once they learn how to play in sync with each other, they can walk away with another winning season and make another bowl game.

Opposition members in Syria have started a new political bloc, aiming to topple the country's President Bashar al-Assad. This third anti-Assad group further fragments the Syrian opposition.
The new National Bloc for Change, consisting of 80 prominent opposition figures, lawyers, clerics and activists, says it was created to support and coordinate the ongoing "revolution" in Syria. The group adds to the already existing Syrian National Council, based abroad, and Syria's National Coordination Committee, operating domestically.
"The organization came into being to support the revolution and to consolidate its principles … and to spur participation in building a future that includes all Syrians," one of the bloc's founders, Ammar Qarbi, was quoted by Al Arabiya television as saying.
The bloc's leadership said they support 'any movement against Assad's regime', 'the revolution' and the 'free army'.
Once Bashar al-Assad is ousted, Syria will not be ruled by just one faction as now, another bloc's founder, Bahiya Mardini, was quoted by the television as saying.
The ruling Baath party has a constitutional monopoly for power in Syria. Following the popular uprising, President al-Assad's regime proposed a new constitution, allowing a multi-party system in the country.
Saturday saw the talks between the Syrian President and Chinese envoy Zhai Jun, who paid an official visit to the country. China, along with Russia opposes military intervention in Syria and is attempting to mediate the conflict, calling for a political settlement. Zhai Jun expressed hope that the two sides will be able to stop the bloodshed in the country and approach peaceful dialogue.
Karl Sharro, a Middle East blogger based in London, notes the erratic nature of Western policy, particularly in US policy towards Syria.
Sharro said the West should step back and try to cool things down before they escalate out of control.

My Thoughts on The LAMB
Posted by stacia on June 19, 2012 June 19, 2012
I have dithered about posting any of this publicly for a very long time, and because of the way discussions about these issues tend to go, I have disabled comments. Further, because I will be mentioning names and blogs for clarity's sake, I do not want anyone to go off in comments on any of these people, deserved or not. I'm not interested in insults or retribution. What I want is to state publicly, with as much information as possible, why I had problems with the online movie organization The Large Association of Movie Blogs, i.e. The LAMB.
I quit LAMB almost exactly a year ago, in the summer of 2011. It's come to my attention that there has been a bit of a dust-up amongst LAMB members over the last few days, about the Best Classic Blogger award given by The LAMB. My concern is that the way it is being handled is exactly how my issues were handled, or rather not handled, two years ago.
The LAMB was founded by Dylan "Fletch" Fields in 2007, and bills itself as "the premier movie blog directory – a one-stop shop for readers and bloggers alike." Film blogs of every genre join, are featured in an introductory post, and can participate in various events.
After participation on LAMB for a while, I didn't feel it was a very good fit for me, but I stayed in it because there are, frankly, only two movie blog associations I could join. (The other association, the CMBA, asked me to edit my posts to meet their personal standards and I refused. Call me a snob or a jerk or whatever, but I'm not going to join an association that wants me to censor myself.) The LAMB, though problematic, was the only one SBBN was eligible for, and I wanted to network.
But my first problem was that the networking on LAMB was haphazard and time-consuming. There are forums, a blog, Twitter, podcasts, and a Facebook, and because information was deliberately spread across all these media, it was impossible to keep up with everything without investing a lot of time. In return, SBBN got almost nothing by way of increased exposure or events that I could participate in, because events at that time were geared entirely toward bloggers who wrote about new movies or, sometimes, horror blogs.
Then came the awards. Every year in June, The LAMB holds The LAMMY Awards, where members vote on best blogs, best blog names, etc. My first year to be nominated was in 2009, where I tied for Best Blog Name with Careful With That Blog, Eugene.
Except the final vote, which is still available at Mister Poll, doesn't match the announcement. Careful With That Blog, Eugene had 15 votes, SBBN had 16, but suddenly CWTBEugene lost one vote, I lost two, meaning we tied at 14 each.
Lest you think this is sour grapes, note that something similar happens on the Brainiac Award, where the vote tally doesn't equal what was announced and The Distracted Globe, who should have tied for second place, did not. Or the Most Ambitious Award where Do You Have a Blog? should have tied for second, but suddenly "lost" a couple of votes and got third.
There are other examples of the votes shown on Mister Poll not being reflected in the LAMB official post but which did not affect the final outcome. In fact, almost every vote shown on LAMB was different than what was seen on Mister Poll, but the difference was never consistent. Some blogs would have a difference of one vote in a category, but a difference of two votes in a later award category. So I don't think this was a case of someone voting twice.
I asked in email about the voting discrepancies and received no answer. I want to note that I have no evidence of any "wrong-doing," just a feeling that things weren't as transparent or explained as they should have been. Others must have felt similarly, because there were a lot of titters amongst LAMB members at how much Dylan wanted his own blog, Blog Cabins (now defunct, I believe) to win awards. And perhaps not incidentally, the 2010 voting tallies were made private so people could not see the results.
So, about those 2010 awards. They were announced via podcast with Dylan "Fletch" Fields and Rachel of Rachel's Reel Reviews. As my friend Ivan pointed out on Thrilling Days of Yesteryear, Dylan stated he wouldn't go to classic or horror film blogs at all, and Rachel said the awards for classic and horror blogs were mostly unnecessary.
As you can see in comments on that TDoY post, Dylan and I engaged in a brief back and forth on the issue. My point then, as it is now, is that everyone in LAMB who was eligible or nominated for one of those awards they trashed now got to feel uncomfortable about it. The owners and maintainers of LAMB said multiple times they didn't like "genre blogs," didn't read them, and entertained the idea of doing away with the awards altogether because of their dislike.
Very quickly, Dylan dismissed what was said by blaming the voters for the award results, which would be fine if those votes in 2009 matched what LAMB posted in the results. And I felt Dylan deflected what I said by getting hurt feelings over my specific examples of what I felt LAMB had been doing that kept members from participating. LAMB doesn't have a lot of participation; according to The LAMB's Twitter, there are over 1200 members, while according to Dylan on Twitter (see below), only 80-something take part in the final votes, which is the way it has been since 2009.
After the 2010 incident, LAMB did start a new weekly feature called Classic Chops to promote classic movie blogs. They already had one for horror movie blogs, though despite having the feature to promote horror blogs they still had complaints about "genre blogs."
And in 2010, SBBN won that Best Classic Movie Blog LAMMY that Dylan and Rachel had mused about doing away with completely.
At this point, I felt LAMMY went from being not worthwhile for SBBN to actively problematic. I didn't want SBBN to be the recipient of an award that was (and probably still is) so undervalued by the people who are giving it. I quietly stopped participating in anything on LAMB, and in 2011 emailed Rachel to ask to be removed from any nominations for 2011 LAMMYs. Then I changed my mind and decided to quit altogether. Rachel, despite having been part of the podcast issue the year before, asked what was going on, as she claimed to have no idea why I wanted to quit.
I know it's mostly frowned-upon to post emails, so I hope that you will all forgive me for quoting some parts of Rachel's and my email exchange. When asked by Rachel why I wanted to leave LAMB, I said in part:
Dylan … shut down my attempts to discuss my concerns… Then She Blogged By Night ended up winning one of those awards you didn't think should even exist.
It was extremely uncomfortable both for me personally and for the blog, and I think it's a pretty good sign that LAMB and SBBN do not have a mutually beneficial relationship. I was genuinely shocked to find out I was still on the membership list, to be honest.
Rachel's response was immediately defensive:
Though my personal opinion on the subject may have created some hurt feelings, I had my reasons and do not apologize for what I said. However, now that I'm the "shepherdess" I feel inclined to stay impartial, despite the insults and name-calling hurled in my direction over the matter.
I never asked for an apology nor wanted one, nor do I recall any "insults and name-calling" during the incident. I even asked around after getting her email because I thought perhaps some other drama had gone on that I wasn't aware of, but if there was, I never found it. My suspicion is that she was saying I was the dispenser of personal insults; that is, after all, pretty much what Dylan had said in 2010 on that TDoY post I linked above.
Rachel, as far as I know, is not a LAMB "shepherdess" any longer, and I don't know Dylan's official role on LAMB. What I do know is that several bloggers I follow on Twitter had — or at least tried to have — a discussion with Dylan about an incident that happened recently. Because I'm not a member any longer, I am not at all privy to what happened except to know that there is a problem, once again, with The LAMMYs Best Classic Blog Award; my understanding is that a blog that was not a classic blog won the category.
This is how Dylan responded to bloggers who had concerns:
Many issues have been brought up to him in the past. I just outlined a whole bunch of issues, and we've seen how he dealt with those.
Here's the next amusing part of the conversation. Note: Read in reverse order, from bottom to top. (Twitter is weird.)
It's the old "the voters are to blame" argument again, exactly like what he told me two years ago. And another fun one:
That is a definition of "gone out of my way" that I am not aware of.
The worst part, the thing that got me to write this post in the first place, was his response to Garbo Laughs in this exchange. This one can be read from top to bottom, and it starts, as you will notice, with him snottily acknowledging that this LAMMY issue has come up before. Since Brandie was making the exact same comments I had made two years ago on that TDoY thread I linked above, I guess he decided it was futile to keep claiming he had never heard of any of these concerns:
And the hilarious conclusion:
To answer Garbo Laughs: Yes, Dylan is always like this.
My experience with The LAMB has been almost universally unpleasant. Well, that's true with both movie blog associations; I (and others) have been banned from some blogathons held by members of CMBA and have had CMBA members demand I stop writing the way I do — I get this and I was never even a member of CMBA! With The LAMB, I made a lot of blog friends early on. Relationships with multiple LAMB members were strained after my problems came to a head in 2010. Most other bloggers didn't want to hear what I had to say, basically, especially since it dealt with awards and people assume any complaint about awards is "sour grapes."
It's far too easy to dismiss problems in this manner, which is why The LAMB has had problems with their LAMMYs for four solid years now. It's because they constantly say it's sour grapes, it's all the fault of the voters, we're not a clique, you never told us there was a problem, you're just mean, also kiss my ass.
And the problems continue in part because people like me never made the issues public. That's why I feel like I have been a part of the problem. When everything happened in 2009 and 2010, I was constantly dismissed, but I didn't help matters because my frustration welled up until I was rude to a few fellow bloggers who didn't deserve it. In the aftermath, it was easiest to clam up and pretend the whole thing never happened, which is what I did. I now regret it, because history is repeating itself, only The LAMB members didn't know there was a history in the first place.

Séamus Freeman SAC (Mullinahone,  — Dublin, ) foi prelado irlandês da Igreja Católica Romana afiliado à Sociedade do Apostolado Católico. Serviu como bispo da Diocese de Ossory, em seu país natal, de 2007 a 2016. Também serviu como reitor geral de sua sociedade, de 1992 a 2004.

Biografia

Juventude e formação
Nasceu na vila de Mullinahone, Condado de Tipperary, na Arquidiocese de Cashel e Emly. Era o mais velho dos oito filhos de Bridget e James Freeman. Sua família mudou-se posteriormente para Callan, Kilkenny, onde ele frequentou a escola.

Ingressou na Sociedade do Apostolado Católico em Thurles, Tipperary, e fez seus primeiros votos em 1965. Estudou filosofia na University College Dublin e teologia no Saint Patrick's College em Thurles. Foi ordenado sacerdote em 12 de junho de 1971. Logo após sua ordenação, foi enviado para a Universidade Católica da América, em Washington, Estados Unidos, para estudar psicologia. Todavia, foi convocado para Roma, Itália, não muito depois para atuar como secretário pessoal do reitor geral de sua sociedade. Retornou para Washington dois anos depois para completar seus estudos e foi graduado em psicologia.

Em 1975, foi nomeado diretor de formação e reitor da Igreja de São Silvestre em Roma. Em maio desse ano, também foi eleito membro do conselho provincial da Província Irlandesa da Sociedade.

Em 1992, o Pe. Martin Juritsch, o reitor geral, caiu gravemente enfermo, e Freeman foi eleito para sucedê-lo numa assembleia extraordinária. Foi reeleito para um segundo mandato de seis anos em 1998. Numa assembleia internacional da União realizada em Roma, em dezembro de 2005, Freeman foi reeleito, por unanimidade, presidente de seu Conselho Geral de Coordenação para um mandato de três anos.

Em 1994, participou como auditor no Sínodo dos Bispos dedicado à vida religiosa. Em 28 de outubro de 2003, a Família Palotina, conhecida como União do Apostolado Católico, foi declarada associação internacional e pública de fiéis pelo Pontifício Conselho para os Leigos.

Ao fim de seu segundo mandato como reitor geral, Freeman passou um ano com a comunidade palotina irlandesa de São Silvestre em Roma, depois do que, em 7 de outubro de 2004, foi nomeado pároco da Paróquia São Vicente Pallotti em Pietralata, Roma.

O Papa Bento XVI nomeou-o bispo da Diocese de Ossory, na Irlanda, em 14 de setembro de 2007. Sua sagração episcopal e posse se deu em 2 de dezembro seguinte, na Catedral de Santa Maria, em Kilkenny, pelas mãos de Dom Diarmuid Martin, arcebispo metropolita de Dublin, auxiliado por Dom Giuseppe Lazzarotto, núncio apostólico, e por Dom Laurencce Forristal, bispo emérito de Ossory, a quem Freeman sucedeu. A diocese abrange a maior parte do Condado de Kilkenny e partes dos de Laois e de Offaly, e é sufragânea de Dublin.

Episcopado
Num artigo do jornal Irish Times de 28 de dezembro de 2010, Dom Séamus referiu-se à carta pastoral do Papa aos católicos da Irlanda, publicada em março anterior. Ele frisou que "o cardeal-primaz Seán Brady fez um amplo convite, pedindo às pessoas que respondam a esta iniciativa inovadora". E continuou: "Para a igreja na Irlanda, o que poderia ser mais devastador do que o rastro de destruição causado pelo abuso sexual infantil e pelas falhas relacionadas à prestação de contas?"

Segundo Dom Séamus, "mais de 3.000 pessoas contribuíram com respostas escritas à carta do Papa". Ele acrescentou, no entanto, que, embora houvesse uma dimensão positiva nas respostas, "houve decepção porque o abuso sexual infantil não foi visto como um sintoma de deficiências na estrutura e na função da igreja na carta do Papa" e que "muitos correspondentes pediram um diálogo sobre sexualidade, celibato clerical e exclusão das mulheres (não apenas da ordenação)". Na época, ele era presidente do Conselho Episcopal para Renovação Pastoral e Desenvolvimento da Fé dos Adultos. Na Conferência Episcopal Irlandesa, também foi membro do Comitê Permanente, da Comissão Episcopal para o Culto e do Conselho para os Religiosos.

Ele sofreu um pequeno derrame cerebral em setembro de 2013, numa viagem de volta do santuário em Knock, Mayo. Dois anos e meio depois, em 7 de abril de 2016, o jornal The Irish Catholic noticiou que alguns dos padres de Ossory tinham problemas em relação à gestão da diocese, como o custo de um ambicioso programa de obras na Catedral de Kilkenny, embora outros padres tenham apontado que essas obras eram absolutamente necessárias.

Numa declaração antes do referendo de 2015, que permitiu o casamento entre pessoas do mesmo sexo, Dom Séamus negou qualquer intenção de bloquear ou de negar a igualdade para os gays, acrescentando: "Votar 'Não' é simplesmente permanecer fiel ao entendimento do casamento entre um homem e uma mulher".

Emeritude
Em 29 de julho de 2016, o Papa Francisco acolheu seu pedido de renúncia ao ministério episcopal por motivos de saúde, não apenas o dele, como também o do bispo de Galway, Dom Martin Drennan.

Dom Séamus sofreu de demência em seus últimos anos e faleceu pacificamente aos 78 anos, na clínica Highfield Healthcare, em Dublin. Seus cadáver foi levado para a Catedral de Kilkenny, onde o então arcebispo de Dublin, Dom Dermot Farrell celebrou seus funerais em companhia do reitor geral dos palotinos, Pe. Jacob Nampudakam, SAC, e sepultado na cripta dos bispos, como manda o costume.

EMC to acquire Iomega
Advances Support for the Rapidly-growing Information Storage Needs
HOPKINTON, Mass. and SAN DIEGO, Calif. - April 08, 2008 -
EMC Corporation (NYSE: EMC), the world leader in information infrastructure solutions, and Iomega Corporation (NYSE: IOM), a global leader in data storage and protection for consumers and small businesses, today announced a definitive agreement for EMC to acquire San Diego-based Iomega in a cash tender offer of $3.85 per outstanding share, or approximately $213 million. The addition of Iomega's products, brand name, route to market and industry expertise will enhance EMC's reach and focus in the rapidly-growing consumer and small business markets.
EMC intends to commence the tender offer in the next two weeks, with completion of the tender offer expected in the second quarter of 2008, subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals. The acquisition is expected to have no material impact on EMC financial results for the full 2008 fiscal year.
Joe Tucci, EMC Chairman, President and CEO, said, "Iomega will play a key role in EMC's strategy to expand our information storage and management capabilities deeper into the high-growth consumer and small business markets. In addition to industry-leading products and a household consumer brand, Iomega brings to EMC a deep knowledge of and established business practices for servicing consumers and small businesses. Iomega and EMC represent a powerful combination that ultimately will benefit these customers through the protection, security and simplified management of their rapidly growing information."
Jonathan Huberman, Chief Executive Officer, Iomega Corporation, said, "Today begins an exciting new future for Iomega and our customers. Once the acquisition is final, Iomega will be able to fully leverage EMC's vast assets to grow our business globally. EMC brings to Iomega a new opportunity for accelerated innovation that will translate into new product capabilities for Iomega's extensive customer base. Through the renowned Iomega brand; thousands of retail, direct marketing and distribution channel partners; and Iomega's talented people, EMC will be able to extend its reach into the high-growth consumer and small business market segments."
Upon completion of the acquisition, Iomega will serve as the core of EMC's new Consumer/Small Business Products Division. The new division (led by Jonathan Huberman and reporting to Joel Schwartz, Senior Vice President and General Manager, EMC Storage Platforms) will also include EMC Retrospect® and EMC LifeLine™ software. EMC plans to build the division around the strength of the Iomega organization, brand, products and partner ecosystem.
Iomega adds to the growing list of product offerings EMC is amassing for the consumer and small business markets. As long-standing partners, EMC and Iomega will continue to build upon their existing foundation of technology integrations. Since 2004,Iomega has been packaging and selling EMC Retrospect backup software with all its external disk drives. In January 2008, EMC announced the new EMC LifeLine software for the consumer, home office and small business markets. Simultaneously, Iomega announced plans to embed EMC LifeLine into its multi-drive network storage products, which are expected this summer with the launch of its next-generation StorCenter Network Hard Drive products.

It had been the perfect Father's Day... a trip to the beach with his nine-year-old daughter, the youngest of his five children.
So when Bill Hudson settled down with his laptop after dinner, he was looking forward to nothing more than a peaceful evening at home.
Then he sat bolt upright. There, flashing up on the screen, was an Instagram photograph posted by his eldest son, the actor Oliver Hudson – his first-born child with ex-wife Goldie Hawn and brother of Bill's older daughter Kate.
Taken more than 30 years ago, it showed a smiling Oliver and Kate as happy children, posing with their father.
The post went viral, spawning thousands of comments as social media seethed with debate about absent fathers and whether being a biological father automatically earns a man the right to be called 'dad'.
For Bill, the anguish slowly turned to anger as the headlines raged and his 'phone rang off the hook'.
But he has maintained a dignified silence – until now.
In a searingly raw interview with The Mail on Sunday last night, Bill, veering between tears of sadness and flashes of anger, vowed to 'break all ties' with his eldest children.
'I say to them now, '"I set you free," he pronounced, his voice breaking. 'I had five birth children but I now consider myself a father of three. I no longer recognise Oliver and Kate as my own.
It is a sad denouement to a decades-long family saga which, Bill says, 'is more messed up and sad than any Hollywood screenplay could ever be'.
For years, Bill and former wife Goldie have bickered publicly about Goldie's claims that he all but abandoned the two famous siblings.
Last night, in a blistering attack on Goldie, Tinseltown's favourite 'ditzy blonde', Bill accused her of 'wilfully alienating' him from their two children.
At the heart of the matter is what Bill calls the 'Hollywoodisation' of Goldie's story.
Things came to a final showdown a week ago with Oliver's bitter post.
At 65, Bill still has the rugged good looks and easy charm that captivated Goldie when she was at the height of her fame. During their marriage, she became the highest-paid female star in the world thanks to quirky comedies such as Shampoo, There's A Girl In My Soup and Private Benjamin. When the pair met in the first-class cabin of a New York to LA flight in 1975, Bill was a successful star in his own right with his group The Hudson Brothers, ('the One Direction of our day,' he quips). He had his own TV show and performed alongside The Beach Boys, The Osmonds and The Monkees.
The pair wed in 1976 when Goldie was already pregnant with Oliver.
When their son was born at LA's Cedars-Sinai hospital, Oliver suffered from the life-threatening condition meconium aspiration, when a newborn accidentally inhales contaminated amniotic fluid.
'Oliver was in isolation for three days,' says Bill. 'Goldie and I were beside ourselves. She was really sick and I'd go from her bedside to the neonatal intensive care unit. The doctors didn't think Oliver would make it. I was only 26 and in a state of shock.
'Goldie and I were sobbing but Oliver pulled through and from that moment he was our precious miracle.
Bill says clouds formed in the relationship over his wife's 'free spirit' and desire for an open relationship.
When Goldie made a film, Cactus Flower, in London, her mother Laura moved into the marital home – a magnificent £10 million beachside villa in Malibu – and helped Bill care for the children.
'Oliver was three and Kate four months old. Goldie went to Europe for a month. I stayed home on Daddy duty. I later found out she'd been sleeping with one of her co-stars, French actor Yves Rénier.
The marriage ended in 1981. Bill went on to have a long-term relationship with Love Story actress Ali MacGraw, before marrying Cindy Williams, star of TV comedy Laverne & Shirley. They had two children Emily, now 31, and Zachary, 28, before that marriage also ended in divorce.
His youngest child is Lalania, nine, from a long-term relationship with a woman to whom he remains 'exceptionally close'.
Meanwhile, Goldie met Kurt Russell in 1983. And while the pair have never married, their relationship is considered one of the happiest in Hollywood. 'When we first split up, I took a house on the beach in Malibu to stay close to the kids,' says Bill. 'I was a part of their lives for years. Kate and Oliver came over at weekends, there were family holidays.
But he says Goldie used her increasing fame and financial superiority to 'freeze' him out.
'I call it parental alienation. We had a custody arrangement but Goldie constantly flouted it. I'd turn up to see the kids and would discover Goldie had taken them on the private jet to her home in Colorado.
As Kate's fame grew she, too, accused her father of being an absentee dad: 'There was never a birthday card,' she complained, to which Bill responds: 'Rubbish! I sent birthday cards every year.
'I ring her up every birthday, still do. The same with Oliver. I bumped into Oliver fairly recently in a supermarket in Malibu and he gave me a hug. I always thought Oliver could be the peacemaker, that somehow he would help bring our fractured family back together.
The pair enjoyed an uneasy rapprochement when Kate started dating Black Crowes singer Chris Robinson, father of her elder son Ryder, 11. She also has a three-year-old son Bingham with British rocker Matt Bellamy, from whom she split last year after four years.
'At one point, I was writing a letter to my children every week for a year. Did those letters ever get to them? Who knows? When I read some of the comments on social media, it was so hurtful. People believe the bull****. Well, I'm here to say it's just not true.' At first, Bill picks his words carefully over Kate's Father's Day photo of herself with Kurt. 'It was an intimate shot and, as her father, I found it inappropriate and unsettling. I'll leave it at that,' he says.
He has removed photographs of Kate and Oliver from his home and even thrown away their knitted baby booties 'which I carried in the glove compartment of every car I've ever owned for good luck'.
Bill is clearly still deeply wounded. He says: 'Oliver could have picked up the phone and called me but he hasn't. What shocks me is that this was clearly premeditated. He chose the photograph and posted it on Father's Day, when he knew it would cause maximum pain. Oliver has lived in the shadow of his mother and sister all his life. Maybe he wanted to be in the headlines?
Goldie Hawn, Kate and Oliver Hudson did not comment last night.

Q: How to use --create-application=false with ng new command My motive is to create a UI library of my own using Angular 9. I was going through the Angular official documentation about Creating Libraries. They started with this command:

ng new my-workspace --create-application=false

And they say that --create-application=false will instruct the CLI to create the config file only and not the application code. Out of curiosity I created 2 projects one with this parameter and other one I generated normally with ng new my-project just to see what is the difference between project structure. I'm confused to see both are same.
Left one is without parameter while Right one is with parameter:

Please correct my mistake.
My versions are:

Angular CLI: 6.2.9

Node: 10.19.0

OS: linux x64

Here is a recording of my steps: https://youtu.be/wsedP3DAsl4

A:
The --create-application flag is used with the ng new command. Setting
this to false tells ng new not to create the initial Angular
application in the Workspace. By default this flag is set to true to
match the behavior of the previous versions of Angular CLI.

More info at this Medium blog post: Angular In Depth
So the difference is that you can create multiple 'projects' that share the same workspace instead of having one workspace for each project that would mean having one node_modules folder and so on..

A: Look I had this error Error: Unknown argument: createApplication then what I do is use sudo like this sudo ng new my-workspace --createapplication=false and it works.

Q: Test for decreasing rate of performance during an experiment I have $N=20$ participants and $K=500$ trials. For each trial, I have a binary $\text{yes}/\text{no}$ response. The response is either $\text{correct}$ or $\text{incorrect}$. The task is quite demanding. I have binned the data and drawn boxplots corresponding to different parts of the experiment. It seems the performance rates decrease as a function of trial number (time). What would be the ideal way to quantify this?
I was first thinking to average the data for each trial, and do a linear regression between the mean performance rate and trial. However, would this not be the wrong thing to do since the data is serially correlated (decreasing performance rate)? The variance is also slightly increasing by trial number.


Update 2012-09-06: The Expert Group mailing lists for Project Lambda are now open!
Back in October last year, I wrote about the lack of access to the expert group mailing list of Project lambda, the effort adding closures to JDK 8. Has anything changed? Well of course not.
After years of asking, there still is no publicly readable mailing list for the expert group.
We are of course forunate enough to have the more general fully open lambda mailing list at OpenJDK. But it isn't what the JCP requires, Oracle promised or the community deserves.
While I'm sure individuals have tried their best, it seems clear that the system is broken. If a mailing list cannot be opened up in nearly 2 years then frankly what is the point?
And that is why I continue to see the JCP as an irrelevent zombie in its current form. It needs to be split in two such that Oracle's total ownership of Java SE is clear for all to see.
After all, I can live with Oracle's control. Its the broken promises I object to.
Try combining "scolebourne joda org" in a sensible way.

Name: Charles Stenholm
Congress: Texas, District: 17, Democrat
No Vote.Millennium Challenge Account. During consideration of the foreign aid appropriations bill (H.R. 4818), Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) offered this amendment to eliminate all of the funding for the Millennium Challenge Account. H.R. 4818 would provide $1.25 billion for this account in fiscal 2005, 25 percent more than in fiscal 2004, for the purpose of rewarding nations for progress in human rights, economic policy, and democracy. During floor debate, Paul noted that this year-old program was originally viewed as "a transition from one form of foreign aid to another," but it instead "was just added on."
No Vote.UN Inspections of U.S. Elections. Rep. Steve Buyer (R-Ind.) proposed an amendment to add the following language to the foreign aid appropriations bill: "None of the funds made available in this Act [H.R. 4818] may be used by any official of the United States Government to request the United Nations to assess the validity of elections in the United States." Buyer was responding to the fact that nearly a dozen members of the House had written to UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan requesting "to have election observers to monitor the Presidential election in the United States" on November 2.
No Vote.Foreign Aid. The foreign aid appropriations bill (H.R. 4818) would provide $19.4 billion in fiscal 2005, an 11 percent increase over fiscal 2004 funding.
Continuity of Congress Constitutional Amendment. This joint resolution (House Joint Resolution 83) proposes a constitutional amendment that would allow state governors to appoint new House members in the extraordinary circumstance where many have been killed or incapacitated. This amendment would require each newly elected House member to present a list of two or more nominees to the governor of his state. The governor would be required to appoint a member's replacement from this list.
No Vote.Export-Import Bank. During consideration of the foreign aid appropriations bill (H.R. 2506), Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) offered an amendment to eliminate the subsidy appropriation account for the U.S. Export-Import Bank. Paul, who had voted five days earlier to extend Normal Trade Relations with China, noted that "the largest foreign recipient of the foreign aid from this bill is Red China, $6.2 billion." An advocate of free trade, Paul told his colleagues: "I do not believe this Congress should be in the business of subsidizing anyone."
