National Geographic to launch new season of 'Science of Stupid'
The idea is to bring science in an interesting, quirky and easy to understand manner.
What's the science behind some of the most jaw-dropping acts of stupidity? National Geographic is set to answer this in the brand new season of its funny and highly informative show, Science of Stupid. Premiering on February 18, 2019, the show will take its viewers a step closer to all the scientific facts hidden in common and not-so-common experiences, and decode the science behind our everyday activities.
The new season will once again witness popular host Maniesh Paul, explaining to viewers the science behind misadventures of people, from motorbike crashes and trampoline mishaps to unexpected explosions and novice lumber jacking. The idea is to bring science in an interesting, quirky and easy to understand manner.
Pawan Soni, Head (Programming & Marketing), said, "Science of Stupid has been one of the most popular franchises of National Geographic, appealing to both children and adults. The unique aspect of the show is that it gives viewers an in-depth comprehension of scientific concepts, while also entertaining them through humour. It also provokes viewers to be curious and ask more questions - so the viewers do not experience common misadventures themselves due to ignorance."
"Additionally, having Maniesh Paul's wit and humour to explain science-based facts makes the show even more fun and engaging. The show is definitely a must watch for children and families who are inquisitive to learn new things every day," he added.
Maniesh Paul said, "I am thrilled to bring to viewers yet another series of Science of Stupid. I obviously promise you a lot of jokes and laughter but also a heavy dose of fun science theories and concepts. I believe each season of the show comes with more excitement and context, making it bigger and better than the previous one. The show has received much appreciation from its viewers and a brand new season is a reiteration of its popularity."
The new season of Science of Stupid will premiere on National Geographic on February 18th and will air every Monday to Friday at 7:30 pm.

Q: Run gitlab-ci for another project We have a application which is managed by third-party. They use Github to store source code. My company now use Gitlab for internal project. We setup Gitlab mirror to pull source code (incl branch: dev, stagging, master) from Github. It's working well now.
Now my manager want to setup Gitlab pipeline for automation process: build, test, deploy...I do it by commit .gitlab-ci.yml file to branch. But it's not good. After Gitlab pull code from Gitlab, it will overwrite my gitlab-ci file and remove it. So I must find another solution
Below is my idea now:

*

*Create seperate project. It only contains gitlab-ci file

*Detect changes on any branch in mirror repo

*Trigger pipeline

Anyone has other idea for this case, please help me
P/S: third-party don't agree to add my gitlab-ci file into their repo in Github.

Traditional Pub
The Fox and Hounds is an end of terrace traditional pub, it retains its character. We are small indeed but big on personality. The pub is run by Dee who has been in the trade for over forty years, and Michael who has been involved in the trade all his life. Between the two of them all age groups are covered!
We always serve Young's Bitter, Special and various guest ales along with a good choice of craft and international lagers and ciders. We have a good range of spirits and an extensive wine menu. We show the various sporting events that are available on mainstream television.
The Fox and Hounds is a cosy and inviting 19th century pub tucked away behind Sloane Square and the Kings Road. Built in 1860 as a working mans pub for the staff of the Grosvenor estate, the pub originally operated as ales only. It was in-fact the last London Pub to operate as such until in 1996, a spirit license was at long last acquired.
You'll find plenty of fox themed memorabilia on the walls and three big hounds even live upstairs! The pub is also close to Chelsea Royal Hospital, so expect to see the traditional Chelsea pensioner propping up the bar and doing a crossword during the day!.
Take your drink outside
We are very lucky with our cellar as in Victorian times the River Bourne was forced underground and now runs underneath the pub helping to keep our cellar cool. In fact, over the years we have been informed by multiple Guinness drinkers that ours is the best in London, we attribute that the River Bourne!
We don't have a garden, however you're welcome to take your drink outside into the London street and watch the world go by. We have beautiful hanging baskets, so during the warmer months the pub is "lit up" with colour..

Two Days on the Island
Posted byAllyn August 16, 2015 November 14, 2015 Posted inBaseballTags:Bowie Baysox, Harrisburg Senators, Teddy Roosevelt, Washington Nationals
The Washington Nationals' Racing Presidents were coming to Harrisburg.
Though my Harrisburg Senators ticket plan is for Sundays, earlier in the season I swapped out one of my tickets for the Saturday when the Racing Presidents would be on City Island. And, like last year, the appearance by the Presidents coincided with the annual Pink Night, where the team celebrates those who have survived breast cancer and remembers those who have succumbed to it.
I'm not going to waste your time or mine by telling you about the game. The Senators were in the game against the Bowie Baysox through five innings. Colin Bates wasn't pitching a great game, but when he left after the fifth the Senators were down 2-1. Not an insurmountable peak to climb. Then Wander Suero came in to start the sixth, he shat on the bed, and then he was lifted for Gilberto Mendez who poured gas on the fire. The Senators lost 9-1, and I had all the sympathy in the world for anyone who left that dumpster fire of a game early.
Sorry, I am being harsh. So, why don't we focus on the positives?
I got a selfie with Batty… err, I mean, Rascal! My niece, who has never been to a Senators game, called Rascal "Batty" when I sent her a plush of the mascot, and now I tend to refer to Rascal as Batty instead of Rascal.
As you can see, I was decked out in pink, since it was Pink Night. The Senators sold that shirt for last year's Pink Night game.
The Racing Presidents came! They mingled with the crowd. They danced on the left field boardwalk. They even spent time with the breast cancer survivors and families during the pre-game ceremony.
"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat. " — Theodore Roosevelt
Metro Bank Park has a music stage on the outfield boardwalk, and yesterday's band was a local Harrisburg band, Save the City. They were an interesting mix — start with alternative rock, add some jazz sounds, and then a cello. They had an interesting vibe, and they played some unexpected things, like that Daft Punk song that was super huge a few summers ago.
After the fifth inning, the Racing Presidents — George, Tom, Abe, Teddy, and Bill — competed against Harrisburg's own Racing Monkeys — Bingo, Bongo, and Steve.
I was back on the island for Sunday's game.
I think think this was the fifth time this season I'd seen the Bowie Baysox.
The line-ups were different, the pitchers were different, but the outcome was essentially the same.
Austin Voth, who really reminds me a lot of Jordan Zimmermann, pitched a decent, if not great, game through five innings of work. I wasn't surprised when he was pulled after five innings, down 2-1; the Baysox were taking him deep into counts and running up his pitch count, but they didn't have a lot to show for it. Again, down 2-1, the Senators weren't out of it. They could overcome that.
Then it fell apart in the eighth with Abel de los Santos giving up 2 runs, and the final nails in the coffin were provided by Bryan Harper who gave up 3 runs (including a 2-run home run off the right field foul pole) in the ninth.
Saturday's game was better attended than Sunday's game, and both games had a steady stream of patrons to the gates in the late innings. I could understand that more with Saturday's game, which was clearly out of reach in the sixth. I couldn't understand that in Sunday's game, which wasn't out of reach until the eighth.
Sunday's entertainment was the Zooperstars, which are a bunch of inflated anthropomophized animals who have punny names based on real sports celebrities like Harry Canary and Derek Cheetah and Pee Wee Geese. I guess they were entertaining. I felt sort of bad for whomever was inside those costumes; it was high-nineties on City Island, and the humidity must have been over 400%, so they couldn't have been any sort of comfortable.
So, the Senators lost two games and, I believe, the season series with the Baysox.
But, I had a nice time.
Saturday's game was lovely. The Presidents were there, I scored a t-shirt in the t-shirt toss that I handed to the little girl seated behind me, and I sat in my favorite place in Metro Bank Park — the bleachers.
Sunday's game was just hot, humid, and did I mention hot and humid?
Nonetheless, a good time was had. And, now that it's mid-August, there aren't many more baseball games ahead this season, so cherish what's left.
My next game is next Sunday, when they're giving away drawstring bags, but I'm thinking about buying a ticket for Saturday night as well — they're giving out Steven Souza, Jr. bobbleheads. It would be a nice nostalgia piece to have, a reminder of the 2013 season when the Senators went to the Eastern League finals and my first season following the team — Souza, Blake Treinan, Aaron Barrett, and a lot of players whose life paths have taken them away from the game.
We'll see. I have a couple of days to decide. I think I'm unlikely to see Lucas Giolito either Saturday or Sunday — he just pitched on Friday, so his next rotation turn would be a midweek game. I didn't realize until today quite how big he is; standing in the line for the Star-Spangled Banner, he towered over the other Senators players. He is truly a giant among men.
There you have it. Two days on City Island. Yes, the games amounted to dumpster fires, but that happens in baseball.

Span and Uggla: Rehabbing in Harrisburg


Your paintings are great. I work on somewhat similar lines using discarded plastic bags to make some form of art. But m just a starter..I fuse plastic bags to create my paintings and installations and I assume a well ventilated area is okay to work as long as m not burning the plastic.
This installation was made for India Environment festival where the theme was ocean waste – each fish module was made with a plastic bag like a stuffed toy – stitched like fabric and stuffed with more plastic bags. keeping them all untangled was the biggest challenge.

BRASILIA, Brazil — Brazil started its quest for an Olympic gold medal in men's soccer with a disappointing 0-0 draw against South Africa, a result that prompted loud jeers by some of the home fans.
Despite an attack led by Barcelona striker Neymar and talented youngsters Gabriel Jesus and Gabigol, Brazil was not able to find the net at the packed Mane Garrincha Stadium in Brasilia.
Gabriel Jesus, newly signed by Manchester City, had the game's best chance in the 69th minute but missed an open net with a close-range shot that struck the post.
"I have the obligation to score that goal," he said. "I'm not used to missing those chances. I'm disappointed. I won't be able to sleep tonight because of that one."
Neymar and Gabigol threatened a few times but also couldn't score.
"We had the best chances but the ball didn't go in," Brazil coach Rogerio Micale said. "And we also have to give credit to South Africa, which has a very determined team and made it difficult for us to impose our game."
South Africa played a man down from the 59th after defender Mothobi Mvala earned a second yellow card for a hard foul on Brazil right back Zeca.
In the other Group A match in Brasilia, Iraq and Denmark also played to a scoreless draw, leaving all four teams tied.
Brazil plays Iraq on Sunday, also in Brasilia, while South Africa faces Denmark.
In Rio de Janeiro, Portugal defeated two-time Olympic champion Argentina 2-0 with goals by Paciencia in the 66th and Pite in the 84th in front of 45,000 fans at the Olympic Stadium, the vast majority cheering for Portugal. Earlier, Honduras defeated Algeria 3-2 in the other Group D game in Rio.
In the jungle city of Manaus, Colombia and Sweden drew 2-2 in Group B. The Colombians got on the board with Teo Gutierrez in the 17th but allowed the Swedes to move ahead with goals by Mikael Ishak in the 43rd and Astrit Ajdarevic in the 62nd. Colombia's equalizer came from a 75th-minute penalty kick converted by Dorlan Pabon.
Nigeria was playing Japan in Manaus only about six hours after arriving in the city. The team had its trip to Brazil delayed by a mix-up at an airport.
In Group C, defending champion Mexico drew 2-2 with Germany despite twice having the lead in the northeastern city of Salvador. Oribe Peralta scored Mexico's first goal, and Germany's 78th-minute equalizer came from 2014 World Cup champion Matthias Ginter. In the other group game, South Korea routed Fiji 8-0. In its eighth straight Olympics, South Korea scored seven of its goals after the 60th minute. Three goals came in a two-minute span.
The Olympic gold is the only major trophy Brazil hasn't won in soccer. The country's team has won the silver medal three times, including four years ago in London, when Neymar was in a squad that lost the final to Mexico.
Brazil controlled possession but wasn't able to create many significant chances until late in the second half. South Africa, playing at the Olympics for the first time since 2000, also came close several times.
The Olympics is Brazil's first tournament since the senior team was embarrassed at the Copa America after failing to advance past the group stage of the continental competition. Neymar skipped that tournament to be able to play at the Rio Games.
Brazil also finished second at the Olympic tournament in 1984 in Los Angeles and in 1988 in Seoul, the second time with a team that included Romario and Bebeto. The five-time World Cup champions won the bronze in 1996 in Atlanta with striker Ronaldo, and in 2008 in Beijing with playmaker Ronaldinho.
South Africa defeated Brazil 3-1 in the group stage of the Sydney Olympics in 2000. Brazil's under-23 squad beat South Africa by the same score in an Olympic warmup earlier this year.

Appeal of M.H., on behalf of her daughter M.H., from action of the Board of Education of the North Syracuse Central School District regarding student discipline.
Bond, Schoeneck & King, PLLC, attorneys for respondent, Larry P. Malfitano, Esq., of counsel
MILLS, Commissioner.--Petitioner appeals the decision of the Board of Education of the North Syracuse Central School District ("respondent") to suspend her daughter, M.H., from school. The appeal must be dismissed.
During the 2004-2005 school year, M.H. was a fifth grade student attending Roxboro Road Middle School. On October 19, 2004, M.H. and another student allegedly wrote a bomb threat on a stall in the fifth grade girls' bathroom.
A superintendent's hearing was held on October 27, 2004 and the hearing officer found M.H. guilty of reckless endangerment, insubordination, disruptive behavior and writing part of a bomb threat. The superintendent suspended M.H. for the remainder of the 2004-2005 school year. Petitioner appealed the suspension. On December 6, 2004, respondent upheld the superintendent's determination. This appeal ensued. On January 18, 2005, petitioner's request for interim relief was denied.
Petitioner seeks expungement of M.H.'s records. Petitioner contends that her daughter was unable to fully understand the consequences of her actions. Petitioner also asserts that respondent failed to follow district policy that states that discipline will be progressive, as a general rule, and that the student's age, the nature of the offense and circumstances that led to the offense will be considered in determining the penalty.
Respondent states that the district has experienced a number of bomb threats over the past several years and that it adequately informed both students and parents of the consequences of participating in a bomb threat. Respondent argues that M.H. admitted to contributing to the bomb threat and that she was properly suspended for the remainder of the school year.
Because M.H. was suspended for the remainder of the 2004-2005 school year, which has ended, the appeal is moot except to the extent that petitioner seeks expungement of M.H.'s records (Appeal of M.P., 44 Ed Dept Rep 132, Decision No. 15,123; Appeal of a Student with a Disability, 43 id. 372, Decision No. 15,021; Appeal of M.K., 42 id. 405, Decision No. 14,894).
Education Law �3214[3][a] authorizes a board of education to suspend a "pupil who is insubordinate or disorderly or violent or disruptive, or whose conduct otherwise endangers the safety, morals, health or welfare of others." A decision to suspend a student from school pursuant to Education Law �3214 must be based on competent and substantial evidence that the student participated in the objectionable conduct (Bd. of Educ. of Monticello CSD v. Commissioner of Education, et al., 91 NY2d 133; Bd. of Educ. of the City School Dist. of the City of New York v. Mills, et al., 293 AD2d 37). In cases of student discipline, the sanction imposed must be proportionate to the severity of the offense involved ( Appeal of P.M., 44 Ed Dept Rep ___, Decision No. 15,223; Appeal of J.J., 44 id. 113, Decision No. 15,115; Appeal of M.F. and J.F., 43 id. 174, Decision No. 14,960). The test to be applied in reviewing a penalty is whether it is so excessive as to warrant substitution of the Commissioner's judgment for that of the board (Appeal of P.M., 44 Ed Dept Rep ___, Decision No. 15,223; Appeal of J.J., 44 id. 113, Decision No. 15,115).
In an appeal to the Commissioner, a petitioner has the burden of demonstrating a clear legal right to the relief requested and the burden of establishing the facts upon which petitioner seeks relief (8 NYCRR �275.10; Appeal of Romeo, 44 Ed Dept Rep 149, Decision No. 15,128; Appeal of Patton, et al., 42 id. 226, Decision No. 14,832; Appeal of Pope, 40 id. 473, Decision No. 14,530).
I find substantial evidence in the record to support the finding of guilt. Petitioner admits that M.H. participated with another student in writing the bomb threat. Within a month before the incident at issue, there was one district-wide bomb threat and two other bomb threats at M.H.'s school. Respondent submitted evidence that it notified parents and students that bomb threats would not be tolerated and would have serious consequences. For example, letters from the superintendent were sent home to parents informing them of the prior incidents and stating that law enforcement officials were actively pursing the person or persons responsible. Respondent's parent/student handbook, provided to every student at the beginning of each school year, states that "bomb scares" are treated seriously and that the district would prosecute all perpetrators to the fullest extent permitted by law. In addition, the middle school principal made announcements over the school's public address system that bomb threats of any kind would not be tolerated. Petitioner was present at the hearing and did not indicate at that time that M.H. did not understand the seriousness of her action or that she did not know the consequences. Moreover, petitioner did not submit a reply to respondent's answer. Therefore, after reviewing the record, I find no basis for overturning respondent's finding of guilt.
I also decline to disturb the penalty. As stated above, M.H. admitted to contributing to the bomb threat. As a result of the October 19, 2004 incident, students were relocated, the school was searched, and dismissal time was delayed. The threat caused a loss in instruction time for students and distress and inconvenience to district staff, students and parents. Respondent' s superintendent avers that she considered all of the relevant facts and circumstances, including the nature of the incident, its effect on school operations and M.H.'s particular circumstances and background. Based on the record before me, I find that the penalty imposed in this case is not irrational or unreasonable and is within respondent's discretion (Appeal of a Student Suspected of a Disability, 44 Ed Dept Rep 158, Decision No. 15,131). Accordingly, I will not substitute my judgment for that of respondent.

Barelas neighborhood working to revitalize historic Mainstreet
by: Rebecca Atkins
Posted: Sep 4, 2019 / 06:07 PM MDT / Updated: Sep 5, 2019 / 12:02 PM MDT
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – Barelas is a historic part of Albuquerque, but as many of the original businesses have closed or moved on, the community is working to revitalize the area.
Outside the Red Ball Cafe, is a newly re-painted red-and-blue checkered sidewalk — an original design to the business. Its touch-ups like these that the neighborhood is hoping will draw more people and interest to the area.
Barelas is a neighborhood full of history. "I was born and raised here in the area," said Laticia Gutierrez. "My mother was born and raised here also."
The people from here, tend to stick around. "This place has got a lot of history, and it can do very well. It used to do very well," said Gutierrez.
Gutierrez is a Barelas native, and she's starting to see her community come to life again. "Little by little, it looks like things are starting to dress up," she said.
She took over the Red Ball Cafe, which opened in 1922, but it needed a lot of work. The Barelas Community Coalition (BCC) helped her get a $7,000 grant to make it more appealing.
"They bought us tables and chairs for the patio, plants so we could dress it up," she said. They also repainted the original red-and-blue checkered sidewalk, and are adding landscaping and more seating.
The Red Ball Cafe is just one example of the revitalization efforts in Barelas, spearheaded by the BCC. "They've come and they've helped me do a lot of things, and they have a lot of really good ideas of how things should be," said Gutierrez.
The coalition has big plans for the area. The proposed Barelas Mainstreet updates include the Fourth Street and Coal Avenue gateway, the Stover Avenue Church plaza, and the Ruppe Alley intervention.
"They really honor the history and tradition of the place," said Amy Bell, a contracted revitalization specialist. Bell is working on more improvements for businesses like the Red Ball.
"Taco de Mexico, we're looking at a design for a shade structure for their patio," she said. Meanwhile, at Juanita's Restaurant, they're working on getting outdoor seating — all ways to improve the appeal of the area.
"I think if all of us business owners stick together and try to keep everything up, try to add businesses, it will, it will get better," said Gutierrez.
Turning the lights back on for old neon signs, like the one at the former Arrow Market, is just one other idea the coalition has to bring back some color and life to this area.
Councilor Isaac Benton has been working with the Barelas neighborhood on some of the ideas. He said they recently re-striped Fourth Street, and just got funding for sidewalk extensions to help pedestrians and slow down traffic.

General Prosecutor Abdel Meguid Mahmoud on Monday referred charges of wasting public money and stealing Egyptian antiquities against Zahi Hawass, former minister of state for antiquities to the Public Fund Prosecution office.
Nour El-Din Abdul-Samad, Director of Archeological Sites, had filed the accusations against Hawass, and requested that the objects in question be returned to the Egyptian Museum.
The Public Funds Prosecution office also received other charges accusing Hawass of wasting public money and exposing Egyptian antiquities to stealing in collaboration with former regime members.
Hawass is accused of sealing a deal with the American Geographical Society to display rare Egyptian antiquities in exhibitions across the United States and Australia, violating the law of protecting antiquities.
Hawass admitted in a television talk show that he had a 17 million dollar deal with the American Geographical Society with regard to a Tutankhamun exhibition to raise donations for Suzanne Mubarak's association, wife of former president Hosni Mubarak. Suzanne Mubarak's association was a private association not a state body, and as such Hawass was not legally allowed to use his position as a state minister to raise funds for it.
The charges relate to Hawass agreeing to transfer and display 143 objects from the Egyptian Museum to Washington DC in 2003. The antiquities have yet to be returned to the museum.
These exhibitions violate the antiquities law that prohibits renting Egypt's heritage.
I was just contemplating writing an article about how very lucky the Egyptians are to have finally found someone they could trust, that was evidently very proud of Egypt and that was passionate about egypt and its wonderful artifacts namely Zahi Hawss. Being a life long lover of all things Egyptian I was glad to see there was someone who truly cared not to let the bad experiences of the past repeat themselves. Someone who was proud and strong and would fight for truth and honesty, and yet here we go again.It's sad to think he could end that way he seamed to bring Egypt into the light of the world for a while.
What the new goverment is doing to him is criminal. He has brought so much attention to Egypt's past and has caused young people to get very interest in history once more. I am 58 years old so I have seen how the young has thought little about history. He feels and belives in what he is doing and had tried so very hard to get the return of artifices stolen from Egypt back to were thay belong in EGYPT. Please stop this witch hunt and let him do his Job that he loves.
I personally get a bad vibe from Hawass. This man I believe has already excavated behind the Gantenbrink door and removed whatever was found. While he is in charge, we will never see the truth behind what is hidden in monuments such as the great pyramid. The sooner he is fully removed the better.
What Else is Hawass Hiding?
How many countless artifacts, that do not fit in with our traditional "story" of history - but reveal the truth behind our human condition - has Hawass been complicit in keeping behind locked doors and perpetuating the ignorance of modern man in regard to his own origins? How much important historical information has been suppressed, destroyed, or hidden by Hawass?
A slur campaign has been launched against a dedicated person who has done so much for the Egyptian antiquities. His personality symbolizes Egypt more than anybody else yet it is unfortunate he is subjected to such harassment. In more congenial circumstances he would have been a successful aspirant for the Presidency.
This traitor to the Egyptian people needs to be dealt with. He showed little respect for the people of Egypt, while making himself the big man especially with the west. The Egyptian people own the things of Egypt, NOT HIM. Now is payback time.
Those artifacts belong to the whole of the human race, not just Egypt! It was all of out ancestors who created those! We are talking about human history!!!
These are baseless "charges" relate to the traveling Tutankhamun exhibition which long, long ago left Washington D. C. and is no longer even in the United States- so much for truth. As for the charge that "these exhibitions violate the antiquities law that prohibits renting Egypt's heritage," long before Zahi Hawass was in charge Egypt sent out traveling exhibitions and they are still circulating now with the proceeds going to the SCA, as they have always done.

Walmart Settles with Tracy Morgan in Car Crash Lawsuit
/ Car Accidents/ Car Accident Blog Posts/ Walmart Settles with Tracy Morgan in Car Crash Lawsuit
Updated November 28, 2018 | Auto Accidents | Social Share
Actor-comedian Tracy Morgan has reached a settlement with Walmart in his lawsuit against the retail giant involving a New Jersey auto accident. The crash left Morgan badly injured and killed comedian James McNair. Walmart recently announced the settlement on its website, stating that the conditions of the settlement were confidential.
Walmart Truck Strikes Passenger Vehicle
The accident occurred on the New Jersey Turnpike in June 2014, when a Walmart truck struck a vehicle containing Morgan, McNair and others. Kevin Roper, the driver of the truck, had reportedly been driving for over twenty-four consecutive hours when the accident occurred, which is a clear violation of Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration regulations.
Details of the Lawsuit
The July 2014 lawsuit alleged that Walmart officials were aware of Roper's driving schedule. The complaint accused the retailer of having a "custom and practice of recklessly and intentionally allowing its drivers to drive for prolonged and unreasonable periods of time."
Roper plead not guilty to one count of death by auto and multiple charges of assault by auto. He attempted to delay Morgan's lawsuit, arguing that evidence presented in Morgan's civil case could be harmful to the driver's criminal defense in relation to the accident. Roper's petition to delay the civil case was denied.
Statements from Morgan and Walmart
Shortly after Walmart's announcement of the settlement, Morgan issued a statement saying that he was satisfied with the terms of the agreement. "Walmart did right by me and my family, and for my associates and their families. I am grateful that the case was resolved amicably," Morgan said.
Walmart CEO Greg Foran issued his own statement to the press: "While we know there is nothing that can change what happened, Walmart has been committed to doing what's right to help ensure the well-being of all of those who were impacted by the accident." He went on to say, "We are deeply sorry that one of our trucks was involved."

Six minute walk test in respiratory diseases: A university hospital experience
Hatem FS Al Ameri
Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine, Department of Medicine (38), King Saud University, Saudi Arabia
P.O. Box: 2925, 11461, Riyadh
BACKGROUND: Six minutes walk test (6MWT), is a sub-maximal exercise test, used as a clinical indicator of the functional capacity, in patients with cardiopulmonary diseases. Its safety, validity, reliability and its correlation with several physiological instruments, are well studied. However, there are no published data on 6MWT, in the Saudi population. We are reviewing our experience with 6MWT and assessing its safety and its correlation with pulmonary function variables, in patients with pulmonary diseases, in our local population. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We consecutively studied patients with pulmonary diseases, who underwent 6MWT and pulmonary function test in King Khalid University Hospital, from June 2003 to December 2004. The 6MWTs were conducted according to the American Thoracic Society guidelines. Spirometry, lung volumes and diffusion capacity measurements were correlated with the absolute walked distance. RESULTS: One hundred and twenty nine tests were performed. All patients were of the Saudi community (59% female), with mean age of 43±15 years. Out of 129 patients, 65 patients had proven respiratory diagnosis. In all patients, the test were performed with no serious complications. The six minute walk distance (6MWD) had correlation with patient's height (r=+0.40, P <0.001), but not with patients' weight, BMI, borg scale, or oxygen saturation. The 6MWD correlated significantly with Dlco (r=+0.52, P <0.01), FVC (r=+0.46, r<0.001) and had a weaker relation with FEV1 (r=+0.31, P <0.05). The test had no significant correlation with lung volumetric parameters (TLC, FRC and RV). CONCLUSION: 6MWT is simple and safe test in evaluating patients with chronic pulmonary diseases in the Saudi population. In our study, 6MWD showed correlation with spirometric parameters and diffusion capacity. Further studies are needed to evaluate 6MWT in a more homogenous patients' population.
Keywords: Six minute walk test, pulmonary function test.

The six-minute walk test is an objective method, to measure the ability to perform daily living activities. It is more often performed, to evaluate the functional status, monitor therapy, or assess the prognosis in patients with cardiac and pulmonary diseases. In comparison to traditional pulmonary exercise test, 6MWT needs less technical support or equipment, making it a simple and inexpensive method to measure functional capacity. The validity and the reliability of 6MWT was studied in different conditions, including obstructive lung diseases, interstitial lung diseases, pulmonary hypertension, heart failure and peripheral arterial diseases. [1],[2],[3],[4],[5],[6],[7],[8],[9]
The safety of 6MWT was explored in several populations. A study of 6MWT in elderly individuals and in patients with ischemic heart disease found the test to be safe, reliable and correlates with several other parameters.[10],[11],[12] Correlation of 6MWD and pulmonary function test measurements were seen in patients with chronic respiratory diseases. In a study by Wijkstra and coworkers, 6MWD correlated well with FEV1 and FVC in 40 patients with COPD.[4] A similar correlation was also observed with Dlco, in patients with interstitial lung diseases.[8] To our knowledge, there are no published data of 6MWT done in the Saudi population. The safety profiles and the correlation of 6MWT with pulmonary function measurements in respiratory diseases, were not addressed in the Saudi subjects.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety of conducting 6MWT, in our local population. The secondary objective includes the evaluation of the walked distance in relation to spirometric, volumetric and diffusion capacity measurements of lung function, in patients with respiratory diseases.
The study was conducted in KKUH, a tertiary regional hospital, from June 2003 to Dec 2004, in consecutive patients with pulmonary diseases, referred for 6MWT from the inpatient ward, or outpatients clinics. Patients were included from the age of 12 to 70 years old, they were in stable clinical conditions and they were not on oxygen therapy. Patients were excluded if they were unable to perform the test, because of active neurological, rheumatological, or peripheral vascular diseases. Patients with elevated systolic blood pressure more than 180 mmHg, resting tachycardia more than 120 beat per minute, or with current chest pain, were considered to be unsafe to perform the test and they were excluded. The demographic features of patients (age, sex, weight, height and BMI) were recoded prior to 6MWT. There were a subgroup of patients referred by consultant pulmonology physicians, with a definite respiratory diagnosis and they were included for further pulmonary function testing.
Six minute walk test
At the time of the test, the patient's heart rate, blood pressure and oxygen saturation, were measured. The patient was asked to indicate his or her level of "effort to breath", by using a Borg scale, a 12 points scale from 0 to 10, with corresponding expression figures in escalating intensity, printed on easy readable card, where 0 is "nothing at all" and 10 is "very, very severe". The 6MWT was performed according to the ATS guidelines and it was supervised by a trained respiratory technician throughout the test.[13] Subjects were asked to walk at their own pace, along a 30 m long and straight hospital hallway marked at one meter intervals. Each patient was instructed to walk as much distance as possible, in 6 minutes. No encouragement was offered, but the patient was told standardized phrases, to indicate the time remaining. The patient was allowed to stop, if symptoms of significant distress occurred, like severe dyspnea, chest pain, dizziness, diaphoresis, or leg cramps. However, the patient was asked to resume walking as soon as possible, if he or she could. At the end of six minutes, the patient was asked to stop and a repeated measurement of blood pressure, heart rate, oxygen saturation by pulse oximeter and Borg score, were measured and the distance walked for 6 minutes was recorded. The patients were asked to be observed for a 10-15 minutes period after the test, to assess any possible complications. Patients who started to walk but did not complete the test, were included in the study.
Patients with definite respiratory diagnosis underwent a pulmonary function test, using standardized protocol by ATS recommendation.[14] Spirometric indices including FEV 1 , FVC and peak expiratory flow, were tested using computerized spirometer. Total lung capacity, RV and ERV, were calculated from the measurement of thoracic gas volume, using whole body plathysmograph (Jeager, Master Screen PFT, Germany). The diffusion capacity of carbon monoxide was measured by single breath hold technique and the result was corrected according the patient's level of hemoglobin. Reproducibility was ensured by doing at least three measurements for each lung function and the predicted values were calculated.
The results are reported as mean ± standard deviation. The absolute (6MWD) in meters was used, instead of the predicted value that was previously reported.[15] The safety profile was assessed in all patients by calculating the number of cardiac and hemodynamic events in the studied population, that required to be managed acutely by a physician. The correlation between 6MWD and the patients' demographic features and pulmonary function test measurements, were evaluated using Pearson's coefficient. The criteria for statistical significance was set to be P <0.05. Analysis was carried out using the Sigmastat computer program for Windows (edition 3.1).
Patient characteristic and safety
From the 132 patients who were referred for 6MWT, three patients were excluded (two had elevated systolic blood pressure and one patient had resting tachycardia). From the 129 patients tested, ninety two patients were referred from outpatients' clinic with stable conditions and 37 patients with no active respiratory diseases were referred from inpatients wards. All patients were Saudis, with a mean age of 43.1±15.4 years. There were 76 women and 53 men, in the studied population.
There were no complicated events or hemodynamic changes associated with or after the test performance, that required emergency management. Four patients (partial completers) did not complete the test because of leg cramp and dyspnea. One patient had elevated blood pressure of 172/93 mmHg at base line and he had increased blood pressure measurement to 213/113 at the end of exercise, with no concurrent symptoms.
Correlation of 6MWD and pulmonary physiological indices
Of the 129 patients tested, 65 patients were diagnosed by their referring physicians with interstitial lung diseases (62%), small airway diseases (37%) or pulmonary vascular diseases (1%). The demographic features are summarized in [Table - 1]. There was no significant difference in age between male and female patients. Men tend to be significantly taller and with BMI less than women. Overall, the average 6MWD was 341±70 m, for the whole group. The mean distance walked for men was 390 ± 75 m, which it was significantly ( P <0.001) more than distance walked by women (mean=305 ± 57m). There was no correlation between the walked distance in 6 minutes and the patient's age, weight, or BMI. However, there was a significant correlation between the distance and the patients' height (r= +0.4, P <0.001).
The 6MWD had no significant correlation with the level of borg-scale or oxygen saturation at baseline, or at the end of the test. The patients' pulmonary function test measurements are summarized in [Table - 2]. There were no significant differences in FEV 1 , FVC, TLC, or Dlco, between female and male patients. Spirometric values correlate modestly with 6MWD. FVC had a stronger positive correlation with distance walk than FEV1 (r=+0.46, P <0.001 and r=+0.31, P <0.05 respectively). The 6MWD had no significant correlation with volumetric lung measurements, including TLC, ITGV and RV. There was a significant correlation between 6MWD and Dlco, in patients with respiratory diseases (r=+0.52, P <0.01). The correlations between 6MWD and different physiological indices are summarized in [Table - 3].
The ability to walk for a distance, is an easy way to measure exercise capacity in patients with cardiac and pulmonary diseases.[1],[2] A variety of walk tests, including self-paced walk tests, controlled-pacing incremental walk tests and time- paced tests, are considered to be objective measurements of functional capacity.[16] Six minute walk test is found to be an effective way of assessing exercise tolerance. Its validity, reliability and reproducibility, were studied in several populations.[4],[5],[6],[7],[17],[18] This the first study that looked at 6MWT in the Saudi population. We showed that 6MWT can be safely performed with no untoward events or complications, that required emergency management. It was highly tolerable in different age groups, gender and in patients with different respiratory conditions. Only 3% of patients were not able to complete the tests because of leg pain, fatigue, or dyspnea. Because of the small number of patients who partially completed the test, we could not assess the characteristic demographic or physiological feature of this group, in comparison to patients who were able to complete the 6MWT.
The distance walked by male patients in our studied population was significantly more than the distance covered by female patients. Such difference has been reported in several other studies of healthy adults. A reference equation published by Enright et al found that gender, height and weight, were independent factors associated with 6MWD.[10] In our studied population, the walked distance had a significant correlation with the subjects' height, but not with age, weight, or BMI. The studied population included patients with different respiratory conditions. Most of the studies that showed relation of 6MWD and patient's demographic characteristics, were in healthy individuals, which could explain the lack of correlation in our study.
In this study, we demonstrated that distance walked in six minutes significantly decreased in proportion, with decrease in FEV 1 and FVC. Six minute walk distance has been shown to be a useful marker for the severity and progression of obstructive lung diseases.[1],[4],[8],[13],[19],[20] Wijkstra and his group showed significant correlation between spirometric measurement and six minute walk distance, in patients with sever COPD.[4] A similar correlation was found between FEV 1 and FVC and walk distance, in patients with severe bronchial asthma.[21]
The positive relation of 6MWD and Dlco, was seen in patients with interstitial lung diseases (ILD) and obstructive lung diseases.[4],[8] In present study, Dlco was the most significant parameter in relation to the walked distance. This relation was more significant in a subgroup of patients with ILD, than with other conditions. On the other hand, there was no correlation between TLC, ITGV and RV with 6MWD, in our studied population. There are only few studies, which showed the significance relation of TLC with 6MWD. Such correlation was more apparent in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and it was not studied in patients with other interstitial or obstructive lung diseases.
The correlation of 6MWT and pulmonary function test, in patients with respiratory diseases, makes this test easy and a simple tool for assessing the disease status. From our observation, such tests have been underutilized in our local clinical and research institutes, especially in patients with severe respiratory disability, in whom the lung function test may be an insensitive tool for measuring functional status. This study also confirmed that the 6MWT can be safely performed even in patients with advanced respiratory conditions.
Absence of control group in our study, is considered to be one of the study weaknesses, as there are no published data in normal predicted distance in 6MWT, in the Saudi population. Moreover, the test was not repeated to assess test reproducibility. Other limitation in this study was the heterogenousity of the studied population. Most published data in 6MWT looked at disease specific groups, which was not considered here. The primary objective was to assess the test safety in our population. The study was not designed to look at the correlation of 6MWT and several demographic and physiological parameters, in a specific group of patients.
Although this study does not allow definite conclusion of the validity of the test in respiratory conditions, the data support the use of such a test, as an additive tool in combination with other physiological parameters, in assessing lung function. Further evidence of the validity and responsiveness of 6MWT in specific diseases should be explored in future clinical trials, to support the wide use of such test in a clinical setting.

In physics, a force is any influence that causes an object to undergo a change in speed, a change in direction, or a change in shape. In other words, a force is that which can cause an object with mass to change its velocity (which includes to begin moving from a state of rest), i.e., to accelerate, or which can cause a flexible object to deform. Force can also be described by intuitive concepts such as a push or pull. A force has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector quantity. Newton's second law, F=ma, was originally formulated in slightly different, but equivalent terms: the original version states that the net force acting upon an object is equal to the rate at which its momentum changes.
Related concepts to force include: thrust, which increases the velocity of an object; drag, which decreases the velocity of an object; and torque which produces changes in rotational speed of an object. Forces which do not act uniformly on all parts of a body will also cause mechanical stresses, a technical term for influences which cause deformation of matter. While mechanical stress can remain embedded in a solid object, gradually deforming it, mechanical stress in a fluid determines changes in its pressure and volume.

Q: Двойные кавычки в запросе Здравствуйте. Есть запрос вида:
Insert into baza Values(str);

Если в str содержится символ "(двойная кавычка) - вылетает ошибка синтаксиса. Как лучше обойти такую штуку? Пишу на java.

A few days ago, WWD reported that Lady Gaga was to star in a new campaign for Shiseido — with a twist. The pop star would shoot 50 selfies of her own face, with each one to appear in a different Japanese newspaper starting on January 1st. The first 46 photos premiered yesterday (the remaining four will publish on Monday), and though Shiseido isn't planning to roll out the images on their website until January 13th, fans have been uploading the ads online. Here's a gallery that features 45 of them, and just in case you ever doubted that Gaga is the ultimate chameleon, watch how she goes from #wokeuplikethis to bombshell with a few swipes of makeup (and a serious wig collection).

7 Reasons Why Hiring A Virtual Assistant Is Totally Worth It!
Did you know that you don't have to do all the office work assigned to you any more? You can! At least, not the time-consuming ones like creating reports, databases, presentations and even prospecting. How? you ask. Why, by hiring a virtual assistant!
Virtual assistants, or VAs for short, are personnel who aid you with the everyday routinary tasks you have little to do so you can focus on the more important aspects of your work and even your personal life! The reason why these professionals are called "virtual" is because your correspondence is done over the Internet, either through Skype, e-mail, or any other communication platform requiring an Internet connection.
You may be thinking it's too good to be true. What if it's a scam? What if I don't get my value for money? Don't worry, because today we'll look at 7 reasons why hiring a virtual assistant is worth it!
Are databases, reports, social media management, cover letters, PowerPoint presentations, and bookkeeping to tedious for you? They're all a synch for your VA. This frees up your schedule to focus on the important processes of your company, like sealing a deal with a prospective client or submitting main tasks to your supervisor.
Is the busyness of the office affecting your availability to go see your dentist, bring your child to the pediatrician, or getting your license renewed? With your VA helping out in your office duties, you might as well ask him/her to manage your day-to-day activities at home. You'll notice more balance in with your work-life, freeing you up to spend more time with your family.
An old business mindset was to work hard in order to finish all work activities within the day. Now, it's all about working smart. How? By focusing your attention on tasks that really matter. The rest you can delegate to your VA.
In some companies, you have the option of choosing either 1 VA or a team of VAs at your disposal. There are pros and cons to both (communication means and efficiency), but in the end, be sure to choose a strategy that will work for you.
For real estate agents, prospecting (or looking for clients) takes up 20 hours of their work time. VAs not only manage your prospect database, but also generate new customers for you to contact.
At only $7 an hour, VAs are a reasonably priced way of cutting the fat and getting the meat out of life, figuratively speaking. Hiring a VA is an alternative to hiring a full-time, in-house staff member.
If you've ever wondered how the outsourcing works, hiring VAs shows you how it operates in the simplest way possible.
Do these 7 reasons convince you that a virtual assistant by your side is worth it? Do you disagree? Do you have any other insights as to how VAs are beneficial to your work and home life? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section below.

This topic teaches the student how to write linear equations given information about the line. This series of five lessons provides the student with the tools required to create linear equations in two variables given information about the line.
The student will learn techniques that will help them model linear equations given information on the equation. They also learn the midpoint formula.
In this lesson, the student learns how to write the linear equation of a line given the slope of the line and a point that is on the line. The lesson teaches the student how to write the line in slope-intercept form and solve for the y-intercept given the values of the point.
This lesson shows the student how to determine the equation of a line given two points that fall on that line. The student is reminded how to determine the slope given two points. Then, the student sees how they can use the slope that they calculated to reduce the problem to the example from the previous lesson.
The student learns how to find the equation of a line given a point on that line and the equation of a line parallel to the equation. The student remembers that they can find the slope of the line from the slope of the given parallel line. Then, they solve the problem as they did in the first lesson in this series.
The student learns how to find the equation of a line given a point on the line and the equation of a line perpendicular of the asked for equation. The student is reminded how to find the slope of the desired equation by using the slope of the perpendicular line. Then, they solve the equation as they did in the first lesson in this series.
This lesson teaches the student the midpoint formula. The student is shown how, given two points, they can determine a point.
